“ I ♥ OhioHealth Westerville Medical Campus.”—Mike Ellis

OhioHealth heart and vascular specialists connected quickly to save Mike’s heart.

“OhioHealth Westerville (Medical Campus) had everything. My family doctor. My cardiologist. The lab work. It was all there under one roof. I failed a stress test and was sent downstairs to the emergency room. I knew I was in good hands. A couple of hours and an ambulance ride later, I had my heart surgery at Riverside Methodist. The way I see it, in a matter of a few hours I was fixed… literally, within seconds of the first stent being put in place, I stopped having symptoms. That, to me, was amazing.” — Mike Ellis, Galena, OH

Westar Place Announced as Home to Renaissance Hotel

The City of Westerville recently announced an agreement with Con-cord Hospitality to build a full-service Marriott Renaissance Hotel and conference center at Westar Place, the site formerly known as ALTAIR Business Park.

Continental Realty/Continental Real Estate was also announced as the City’s development consultant and brokerage team for the site, a tract of 62 acres of land acquired by the City for office/commercial development in Westar, the growing regional epicenter of commerce located east of Interstate 71 along Polaris Parkway in Westerville.

Since its purchase in May, the City has been working closely with develop-ers and economic advisers to plan for office and retail development, as well as hotel and conference space along underdeveloped portions of the Westar area. The land is situated between Cleve-land Avenue and Africa Road south of Polaris Parkway, a desirable location for commercial development and already home to corporate headquarters and businesses in the health care, technology and financial services sectors.

Expected to attract more than 3,000 jobs to the Westerville community, these announcements formalize plans for this premier commercial space to total 1 million square feet of additional Class A office space in Westerville, meeting space demands for business attraction and reten-tion efforts.

The centerpiece to the City’s strategic vision for this site is the Renaissance Hotel and conference center. Concord Hospitality will build upon its regional and national track record in central Ohio with the Renaissance brand, expected to begin construction in 2015.

“The Westar Place project is a great ex-ample of the kind of strategically planned, well-balanced mixed-use urban develop-ment that considers the current needs of the community and the projected demands of future generations,” said Mark Laport, president and CEO of Concord Hospital-ity. “We started our company here in Ohio nearly 30 years ago, making us particularly pleased to be working with Marriott Inter-national toward the goal of bringing their terrific, upscale Renaissance Hotel brand to Westerville. Renaissance is the right combination of a familiar brand with best-in-class traveler amenities and distinctive design that I believe will resonate well with the community and help attract businesses to this visionary development.”

Laport said the eight-story, 224-room and suite hotel will feature nearly 20,000 square feet of meeting and convention space to meet the needs of the business community that is envisioned as part of the development. The full-service hotel also will offer the latest in in-room dining options, as well as a three-meal restaurant. Like all Concord hotels, it will be designed to meet LEED standards energy efficiency.

Continental Realty/Continental Real Estate will coordinate development for

Westar Place, leading the site’s mar-keting and sales efforts for mixed-use development.

“We are very excited to have been selected by the City of Westerville to coordinate the development of We-star Place,” said Frank Kass, chairman of Continental Real Estate Compa-nies. “Continental’s entire team of real estate professionals will be engaged in the process of delivering an up-scale mixed use development to this wonderful, strategically located site. I will be personally committed to the project and look forward to beginning

the process immediately.”Westar Place is among the most sig-

nificant projects planned in the district that originally acquired 941 acres of land for commercial expansion along the City’s northern corridor. The Westar project was funded by approximately $30 million in the late 1990s, extending Cleveland Avenue, Polaris Parkway and County Line Road, along with the associated utility infrastruc-ture. Since then, the area has grown, gen-erating more than 7,000 jobs and returns exceeding that initial investment.

“This is all part of the tradition in Westerville of establishing our vision, finding the right partners and undertak-ing long-term, strategic economic devel-opment initiatives,” said Westerville City Manager David Collinsworth. “Westar Place is going to be the ideal complement to the Medical Mile and set the standard for future development in Westerville.”

For more information, please visit business.westerville.org.

*Westerville City Council approved the $6.7 mil-lion land purchase, along with $9.5 million in tax increment financing (TIF) in infrastructure reim-bursements in June 2013. For more information, please visit www.westerville.org.


News & Information from the City of Westerville

Ten Years of Celebration:The Westerville Martin Luther King Jr. BreakfastThe story of the Westerville Martin

Luther King Jr. Breakfast Celebration starts like many others: Someone took a brave step forward.

That someone was Jim Zippay, a pastor at Heritage Christian Church and member of the Westerville Area Ministerial Associa-tion. Although Columbus has long hosted a large morning celebration in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Zippay had a vision for the community to celebrate closer to home.

“Heritage has always had an intentional focus to build racial diversity within the congregation. Even years ago it was not as strong as it is today,” said Zippay. “Back then, my colleague Richard Johnson and I went to a ceremony (on MLK Day) at Ot-terbein. When we walked out, I thought, ‘We could do this.’ That’s how it started. Like anything, you don’t know how it’s going to go, but we knew it was right.”

Ten years after that moment, Zippay will be the keynote speaker at the 2015 Westerville Martin Luther King Jr. Celebra-tion. His talk will focus on the question “Where are we really?” and relate to com-munity acceptance and understanding of Dr. King’s aspirations and ideals for unity and equality.

“I’m proud and grateful for the commu-nity we live in but continue to grieve that we’re still not talking about things at the level we need to – the level where healing happens,” said Zippay. “There’s still such unrest all over the country. There’s polar-ization going on here, and people can’t hear each other’s views. It’s all the more drive to keep moving forward.”

To keep Zippay’s vision moving for-ward, a committee of community and

organizational representatives arranges the annual event, led by Pastor Vaughn Bell since 2009. Meeting several times a year, the committee’s objective is to plan the morning celebration, which includes entertainment, guest speakers and recogni-tion for student and community leaders.

The annual Alston Award, named in honor of Miriam Alston and the group of slaves she freed who traveled to the Westerville area in 1859, is part of the program awarded to a member of the community who best demonstrates the characteristics of Dr. King: tolerance, respect, kindness, bravery and determina-tion. Westerville City Schools students are also selected as Fouse Award recipients, in honor of William H. Fouse, the first black

graduate of Westerville City Schools and Otterbein College (now University).

This year, the committee has placed a special emphasis on attendees bringing their families, especially students who have the day off from school.

“When we’re talking about exposing the ideas of Dr. King to a new generation, this is where we need to start,” said Bell. “It’s important that our children experience this event and have a solemn moment of education about what Dr. King contributed to our country.”

In its annual tradition of continuing the celebration throughout the day, Ot-terbein University, in conjunction with Westerville Parks & Recreation, will host service projects through its “Day-On” com-munity service program at the Westerville Community Center. The public is invited to participate.

“The challenge is to build upon what you started,” said Zippay. “The answer is civility. The answer is the beloved community. We need to learn to listen to each other and hear each other. The challenge comes on the heels of great progress, and I have great confidence inside me for this community.”

Registration prices for the breakfast are $25 per adult and $15 per student. Businesses may sponsor a table for $300, which includes 10 breakfast registrations and recognition as a table sponsor in the event program.

The event is held annually at Villa Mi-lano Banquet and Conference Center, 1630 Schrock Rd., Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., and the program will start promptly at 8 a.m. For more information, please visit www.leadershipwesterville.org.

Health & Wellness Profile

Reprinted and edited from the Wester-ville Parks & Recreation Blog: www.acity withinapark.com

As you watch Andrea Kontras glide through the water, it is apparent she is in her element. With every turn and stroke, she gains strength and momentum while swim-ming at the Westerville Community Center.

“My body feels better in the water; my passion is swimming,” said Andrea, 36, a Special Olympics Swimmer.

Andrea has been in the pool more than 25 years, most of it training competitively. She reached the pinnacle of her swimming career this past summer, becoming the first person from Westerville to go to the Special Olympics USA Games for swimming.

Andrea was chosen to represent Ohio after her stellar performance at the 2012 Ohio Special Olympics, where she won two gold medals.

“I was so excited to go to nationals. I even had a countdown going,” she said.

During the USA Games last summer in Princeton, N.J., Andrea took home medals in four swimming events: silver in the 100-yard freestyle and the 4X25-yard medley relay, and bronze in the 50-yard backstroke and 50-yard freestyle.

Andrea’s face lights up when she talks about the national experience.

“It was so much fun, and the medals are awesome. I feel proud that all the hard work paid off,” she said.

Her coaches are extremely proud of her.“This was such an amazing opportunity for

Andrea. She got to practice at a higher level and work with different coaches in a new environment. We couldn’t be happier for her,” said Special Olympics Coach Lauren Jennings.

Since the big games, Andrea has been full speed ahead at practice.

“Nationals really gave her confidence. An-drea came back with extra determination and focus, and she is faster now,” said Jennings.

Andrea has always been tenacious about swimming. When she was just 10 years old, she wanted to try out for the Hilliard Special Olympics Swim Team.

“You had to swim from one end of the pool to the other without touching the wall. During the competition they put me in an end lane,” she said. “I nearly drowned, dog-gie-paddling and everything. But I finished and got fourth place.”

From that moment on, Andrea began to develop her love for swimming. She started competing in many kinds of races, although her favorite events are the free-style and the backstroke. She even set a personal record at nationals at 2:17 for the 100-yard freestyle.

“When I’m swimming fast, I feel like a fish. It keeps me strong, healthy and active,” she said.

Andrea has put in some serious hours at the Community Center this year, with both Parks and Recreation staff and her Special Olympics team supporting her along the way.

“Her dedication to the sport has been inspiring, and other swimmers have taken notice of Andrea in the lap pool. It is great to see all her training pay off,” said Westerville Parks and Recreation Facilities Supervisor J.R. Fourqurean.

“I really like swimming here. I was getting in 1,800 meters a week over the summer,” said Andrea.

Her dreams haven’t halted with nationals. The next stop: the July 2015 Special Olym-pics World Summer Games in Los Angeles.

There is no doubt with her spirit, Andrea could go global. We wish you the best of luck in your future competitions, Andrea!

For more information on Westerville Special Olympics, visit www.westerville specialolympics.org

*At the November Regional Aquatics Qualifier in Up-per Arlington, Andrea placed first in the 100-meter backstroke, second in the 200-meter freestyle (shaving nine seconds off her time) and second in the 4x50 relay. The State Aquatics Championship took place at The Ohio State University in early December. Check the blog for Andrea’s results.

Service Above Self Recipient Walks the TalkStaff Profile

Linda Weir claims to have been speech-less when she was named one of two Rotary Club of Westerville Sunrise Service Above Self award recipients late last year, but upon accepting the award, she spoke eloquently of the need in the community and the good work of charity projects, such as Westerville Caring & Sharing, for local children. Her own good work recognized, Weir is an excellent example of service philosophy in action.

Where are you from?I was born and raised in Canada. I have

lived in Sarnia, Toronto and Montreal and spent one year in Germany.

How did you come to be employed at the City of Westerville?

In 1995, my family immigrated to the United States when my husband was transferred to Granville with his employer. He broke the news to me by telling me he was moving me south, which technically he did, but…

When we were looking for a new resi-dence, someone suggested we check out Westerville. We immediately felt drawn to this city and decided this was going to be the place where we would set down roots. The feel of the Uptown area really sold us on this location, along with the numerous parks.

In 1996, my green card came through, and I applied for a position as secretary to the City Manager and Assistant City Manager. I believe I have the distinction of being the first employee hired with a green card. I worked for the City Manager’s Office for nine years. During that time period, I saw the landscape of the city change with development and learned firsthand how the City was governed.

What’s a typical day like at the Westerville Division of Fire in your position?

Since 2005, I have worked as a secretary and later as an administrative secretary in the Fire Division. We have groups of children coming in for station tours, we offer CPR classes and, once a year, we hold a Citizen’s Fire Academy, which I highly recommend. I love the variety in this position, and no two days are ever

the same. I first started working in the Fire Prevention Bureau and now work more with the administrative side of the division. Every day I look out my window and see First Responders Park. I am humbled to be working with men and women who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the safety of others.

How did you get involved with Westerville Caring & Sharing?

When I first came to work for the City, I heard about the Westerville Caring & Sharing program from my daughters who attended Westerville North. I asked the City Manager if we could become involved with this volunteer group. I es-pecially liked that it assisted children in our school district. We came up with an idea to have a food drive to help families provide food during the holiday season when children were not able to participate in the free lunch program. This fills the gap for many families.

Tell us about the program you man-age for the City staff to support the organization.

To make the food drive a little more fun, we set up a healthy competition to see which department can raise the most food. The winning department gets a pizza luncheon. It is all in fun, and just know-ing that we have made someone’s holiday season a little brighter is the reward. We are entering our 19th season and have raised more than 129,827 pounds of food. This year, it looks like we will be providing lunch to about 700 children.

What have been some of the most memorable outcomes of this program?

This food drive is what makes the holi-day for me. It is just amazing when we take the food to the distribution center, just how much we have collected and how much floor space it takes up. My hat is off to my co-workers in the Service Department who literally do all heavy lifting.

How can people get involved?Visit www.westervillecaringandsharing.

com. There is also a back-to-school program in the summer to help local children get started successfully for the school season.

People may also recognize you from the child car seat inspection and installation program. Tell us a little about the program.

Our car seat fitting inspection station is one program that I am very proud to be part of. We set up appointments each Wednesday and inspect car seats from infant to booster seat age. This is an excel-lent free service that we offer to the public so our little ones are safe. Even if the car seat comes to our fitting station perfectly installed, there is still always some helpful information we can give to the caregiver. At the end of our day, we know that children are departing safer than when they came in.

You were recently honored by the Rotary Club of Westerville Sunrise with its annual Service Above Self* award. What does this award mean to you?

My name was submitted for the Service Above Self award from the Rotary Club of Westerville Sunrise for my work with Caring & Sharing. It was probably the first time anyone has ever seen me speechless. Along with a plaque, I will be given an American flag, which will be flying in the Field of Heroes. This is especially mean-

ingful to me, since I became an American citizen in 2003.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I have three daughters and seven grand-children, ranging in age from 1 year to 16 years, so my hobbies are my grandchildren. Since they all live locally, I get to see them all the time. I want to be a “fun” Nana, so I get on the trampoline, play with Nerf guns, play tea party and hide and go seek. However, I do draw the line at baiting their hooks when we take them fishing. Since I grew up on Lake Huron, going to the lake or ocean is my first choice for a vacation spot.

*Community Affairs Administrator Christa Dickey was also honored with the Service Above Self award. Both Linda and Christa received their awards in November. Special thanks to the Westerville Sunrise Rotary Club for its annual recognition of City staff.

Each year, the City of Westerville recog-nizes staff members for their dedication and commitment to their jobs and the residents of Westerville. The following employees were nominated as Employee of the Year by their staff colleagues.

Self Defense for Women Helps Educate, Train

The Westerville Division of Police always starts each Self Defense for Women training course with the facts. Statistics such as aggravated assaults are the most reported violent crimes, followed by robbery, rape and murder (www.fbi.gov).

Because women are often targets of violent crime and assault, the Westerville Division of Police created a learning experience to help defend against would-be attackers. The course is designed to pair education with risk reduction and defense techniques so women are less likely to become victims of violent crime.

“Our goal is to help the class participants develop a defensive instinct,” said Lieutenant Tracey Myers of the Division’s Community Services Bureau. “We build a defense strategy around three rules and train women to assess risks and protect themselves.”

The three course rules and principles: • Reactimmediatelywheninadangeroussituation.• Resistanattack.• Crimescenetwoisalwaysworsethan

crime scene one. Statistics show physi-cal injuries are more likely if a woman is moved to another location.Women of all ability levels (some por-

tions of the class are physical) will learn and practice simple, effective defensive skills from certified self-defense instructors, as well as a series of tips from safety experts focused on how to react to an attacker.

“If the safest way to escape an attack is to run, we teach women how to make that assessment and flee,” says Myers. “Sometimes that’s simply not possible, so it’s our objective to teach women how to confront the situation and fight back to ideally get attention, help or an opportunity to escape.”

A $25 deposit is required for the course, which is refunded upon course comple-tion. Women 18 and older may register; girls 14 years of age or older may participate, but must attend class with a parent/guardian.

The next Self Defense for Women course will take place 8 a.m.-1 p.m., Feb. 7, at the Westerville Community Center. The self-defense curriculum is offered five times a year. For more information, please call the Community Services Bureau at 614-901-6860.

Former 400-pounder has found new life in a new commitment to health

William H. Streetman is half the man he used to be, and he couldn’t be more cheerful about it.

The Westervi l le resident, who goes by “Bill,” loves to talk candidly about his arduous journey – the one that transformed him from a morbidly obese, 404-pound business consultant to a trim, active, weight-conscious 205-pound man with a healthy, well-developed phy-sique on a 6’1” frame. It’s an engaging story.

Streetman is a fixture at the Westerville Community Center. He goes five days a week to exercise, both on his own and in classes that focus on different fitness regimens.

He also observes a stringent diet geared toward maintaining a trim, healthy body. He developed his new method after he underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2010, necessitating immediate changes.

When he was younger, Streetman was a prolific athlete. He particularly enjoyed indoor soccer.

“I played goalie, so I didn’t run up and down the floor,” he says.

He also rode his bicycle frequently until he hit 350 pounds, making cycling an unsafe venture.

“It wasn’t fun (at that weight),” Streetman says. “Gravity works against you.”

Sitting at a table in the lounge in the community

center, he chats amicably but without bragging about his transformation, which came after a cou-ple of “aha” moments.

“When I had to have an airplane seat-belt expand-

er, that was a big punch in the face,” Streetman says. That moment came around

the time he hit 400 pounds, the cap-per on 20 years of gradual gain. He had tried several diets, including one through a hospital weight-management program.Streetman had success with none, and

was reaching the point where any form of exercise was impossible.

A consultant to gas and electric compa-nies, Streetman traveled extensively, and the job entailed lots of entertaining – heavy on big meals, light on exercise.

“I had the willpower to do the workout part, but not the diet part,” Streetman says. After 30 years in the time-consuming business, “I had to either do my job or take care of myself.”

When he reached that realization, Street-man was temporarily living near Detroit. He found area doctors and hospitals that could perform his bypass surgery and, in his words, “went all in,” selling his business to partners while dramatically changing his diet and developing his exercise routine.

His weight began to plummet at a weekly clip of six to eight pounds.

“It was as if it wasn’t real,” Streetman says. “I kept imagining it was a dream (and) I’m going to wake up.”

He was surprising himself almost every time he looked in the mirror, finding it harder and harder to recognize the person there. Some friends even wondered if he was having health problems, his weight loss was so rapid and noticeable.

It wasn’t all a bed of roses. He had a post-surgery infection. He had to learn to eat small portions and give up some foods and liquids. He was nauseated and some-times vomited from the dietary adjustment. He had extensive surgery to remove a layer of extra skin around his stomach that had stretched but would not shrink.

After Streetman exhausted his wardrobe of progressively smaller clothes, which he had worn while gaining weight, he turned to thrift stores to periodically buy cheap shirts and pants. They usually were too big within a week or two, so he would donate them back and buy more.

As he started shopping for his new per-manent size, he found himself unfamiliar with labeling and once bought child-size

swim trunks. At home, he keeps the last outsized clothes he bought when he had nothing that fit properly. Occasionally, he hauls out the size 62 jacket and size 54 pants, which he had picked up in Wash-ington, D.C. He wears a size 42 coat now.

After the surgery, Streetman began a daily diet that includes 50 to 60 grams of protein; one gram each of calcium and vitamins D3 and B-12; and 30 grams of dietary fiber, with limited saturated fats, sugars and sodium.

Typically, Streetman’s daily intake consists of protein shakes; sufficient servings of dairy,

including cheese and low-carb yo-gurt; fish, usually canned tuna; soup, mostly French onion; and plenty of water. His wife of 32 years, Colleen, has adopted some of his diet and has lost weight herself in recent years.

He takes classes on kettlebells, aerobics, weight training and kick-boxing at the community center. He also runs and uses fitness equipment on his own. He rides his bike on treks short and long, including a 500-mile trip around Ohio. Streetman keeps his workouts rigorous without going so far as to risk burnout.

Initially, he allowed his weight to fall to 180. Then, through rigor-ous exercise, he gained at least 20

pounds of muscle, which toned his body. Today, he’s in excellent health.

He has written extensively on his blog, www.whs-newlife.com, about his experi-ences, and periodically submits articles to health magazines. Some patients turn to clinics for post-op counseling and guidance, but Streetman didn’t. He committed to a new lifestyle and refers to his writings as his “sessions on a psy-chiatrist’s couch.”

The 26-year Westerville resident is active in the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce, particularly the Taste of

Westerville event, and coaches in the Spe-cial Olympics every spring.

Streetman has some further, and ex-tremely ambitious, fitness goals. One is a coast-to-coast bike ride. Another is hiking the Appalachian Trail, perhaps in sections rather than trying it all at once.

“Sometimes, you have big goals,” he says. “Even if you don’t make them, you still do some cool things along the way.”

He likes to travel. In August, he spent two weeks backpacking in Thailand with his youngest son, Tommy, a teacher in South Korea who flew in for the trek. Another son, Andrew, has a computer business in Westerville at which Streetman spends some time, and the third son, Terry, works for nonprofits in Lansing, Mich.

Another Streetman endeavor is speak-ing to groups.

“I like talking about what I have done, whether (listeners’) goal is weight loss or they just want to hear about it,” he says. “I have been lucky, blessed, successful in what I have done. I enjoy talking about it. It helps me a lot. I hope it helps others.”

When the 75-minute chat ends, he heads to kettlebell class, toting two small bottles of water, to help himself.

Promoting sportsmanship and good behavior to a generation of future leaders is the goal of Otterbein

University’s Sports Pals outreach program.The partnership between Otterbein

and Avalon Elementary School allows volunteers from several Otterbein student organizations the opportunity to dedicate a few hours each week to serving more than 50 low-income children at Avalon.

The volunteers visit Avalon Monday from 3:15 to 5:15 p.m. to work with third- through fifth-graders. For the first hour, they teach the value of leadership among their friends and within their neighborhoods, encourage teamwork in their actions, and give tips on proper nu-trition and healthful living. The next hour is dedicated to having fun and playing a variety of sports.

“Each time we visit the school, we have a theme for the week, such as sportsman-ship or teamwork,” says Sports Pals pro-gram coordinator Ashley Meade. “We start the lesson with an example and discussion on why that specific topic is important and then play games and activities that are centered on that lesson.”

The volunteers promote good sportsmanship and character through these interactive games on a “peaceful play-ground,” Meade says. Otterbein students, who value a safe space for building cooperative and friendly relationships, de-signed the program.

“The volunteers serve as positive role models for the children, while growing them-selves as leaders,” says Meade.

Sports Pals is led by Otterbein’s Car-dinalCorps Leaders program. Created by

the university’s Center for Community En-gagement, CardinalCorps is a network of students, staff, faculty and alumni devoted to social change through campus service learning and community-based action.

“The CardinalCorps is the com-munity of students making an

impact through service,” says Meade. “We are a select group who plan and pro-mote these opportunities on campus.”

Meade shares Sports Pals coordinator duties

with fellow CardinalCorps Leader Trenton Antonaros.

Both are students.

Working out should be seen as a privilege, not a punishment.

This is the thought process behind Fit

Frosties, a before-school program dedi-cated to keeping kids active at Robert Frost Elementary School.

Physical education teacher Eric Indi-ciani has spearheaded the effort to maintain or improve students’ health since the club’s inception in 2013.

“We do everything here – our workouts and motivation – in a positive light,” Indiciani says. “Many people were taught that running was a punishment, so there’s this negative connotation. It’s the same with push-ups, but working out isn’t bad. If you can turn run-ning into something enjoyable, you’re going to have a healthier lifestyle.”

Each Thursday, the elementary school gym is full of about 120 stu-dents from first through fifth grades. Starting with a warm-up at 8 a.m., Indiciani helps kick-start the chil-dren’s days.

“The kids check in and then we start a dynamic warm-up,” he says. “I’ll give some sort of words of encouragement and, if it’s nice outside, we’re out there. Running is something you can do very easily. You don’t need any other equipment or other people.”

Given the fickle nature of Ohio weather, the program has a backup plan should rain, snow or ice prohibit outdoor endeavors.

“When the weather is not good, we stay inside, break into small groups and do circuit training,” Indiciani says. “These exercises include agility ladders, body-weight exercises, jump ropes, the use of medicine balls and aerobic steps. Rain or shine, they’re getting their heart rates going.”

Initial funding for equipment, along with heart rate monitors and drawstring

bags, came from a $998 grant from the Westerville Education Foundation.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of children and adolescents in the U.S. are obese. But at Robert Frost, more than a quarter of the student body is tak-ing steps toward combating this epidemic.

“It blows me away each week,” Indiciani says. “Even when the novelty has worn off, the kids still show up. Even if they can’t run the whole time and they walk it out, at least they’re not in front of the TV, eat-ing Pop Tarts, first thing in the morning.”

Keeping healthy is the main objective of Fit Frosties, but a byproduct of the early morning routine is an increase in attention from students.

In 2012, the CDC also found that more than 13 percent of Ohio children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which causes trouble focus-ing and sudden out-of-control behavior. But Robert Frost staffers have found that tendency toward hyperactivity has been lessened somewhat by the morning activity, Indiciani says.

“Last year, before the kids left for class, we gave them an orange sticker that let teachers know they were at Fit Frosties that day and to chart these students’ behavior,” he says. “We wanted to see if their attention was anything atypical, either for better or worse. Now, Fit Frosties is one aspect of whatever is going on in these students’ lives, so it can’t be given all the credit, but many kids were more chill and didn’t need a break to burn off the jitters.”

The program isn’t just for children ei-ther. A staff of 34 volunteers – including parents and teachers – participate in the exercises and help guide the students.

One family that has taken full advantage of Fit Frosties, as a time for bonding and getting healthy, is the Howards.

“The boys were able to run a 5K this past year and a 2-mile race,” says Stuart Howard, father of twins Dezmon and Demetrius and daughter Milani. “Even the youngest one, who’s 5, she ran the 2-mile race.”

While some children fight the notion of get-ting up for school, the Howards have found the opposite with their children.

“Our kids, they hold us ac-countable,” says Margaret, mother of the family. “They get upset if they think they’re going to be late.”

The added time together has helped the family bond, but also aided in a significant weight loss for Margaret.

“Within the last year, having the kids involved has kept us active,” she says. “Stuart has always been a runner, and it’s even more satisfying for him now, doing it as a family. I’ve lost about 45 pounds in this past year. It’s all about staying motivated and making those little changes to keep healthy and keep moving. I didn’t have anything like Fit Frosties growing up.”

Leaders of the program want it to ex-pand so more students can get involved, and the Spring Dash 5K, slated for April 11, may help accomplish this goal.

“We will be the beneficiary for the run,” Indiciani says. “All the proceeds

Robert Frost Elementary School also holds

an annual Walk-a-thon. The 2014 event, held Sept. 26,

raised $11,202 for school activities.


Jim Flaherty recalls it was “cold and snowy” that first Saturday in February 1997.

But that was appropriate for the inaugural edition of

the winter fundraiser now known as the Chilly Open. The 2015 event is slated for Feb. 7.

A hardy group of 40-50 members of the Rotary Club of Westerville Sunrise spent the typical winter day staging an atypical outdoor event: a golf outing. It was their first shot at fundraising in such an un-orthodox manner.

Working from a small, unheated tent serving Wendy’s chili – thus the event’s original name, the Wendy’s Chili Open – and Budweiser, they shepherded a sur-prisingly large turnout of hardy golfers for an 8 a.m. start. They played with orange balls on a makeshift nine-hole course on a corner of the Anheuser-Busch brewery grounds. The $40-per-person event in-cluded a chip and putt contest on a small green inside the tent, Flaherty remembers.

The club had picked up the idea from another club in Poland, Ohio, near Youngstown, and spent two years trying to organize one.

Finally, it was decided, “Let’s just do it and try to break even,” says Flaherty.

Flaherty was club president at the time and has been involved in each Open since, in keeping with all members’ commitment to such activities.

The club did far better than break even. From a profit of $31,408, $30,000 was donated to charity. Money went to the Archie Griffin Scholarship Fund, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, Easter Seals, Recreation Unlimited and the club’s

own foundation, which has its own group recipients. Griffin was honorary host the first year.

That convinced the club members that the fundraiser was a good idea, and they brought it back as an annual event, taking opportunities to expand it wherever they could. Gradually, they added live enter-tainment, more food vendors and a silent auction to the adults-only outing.

This year’s Chilly Open is the 19th an-nual. It’s now presented by Kroger and Papa John’s, rather than Wendy’s, and it takes place at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, rather than Anheuser-Busch. It features about 30 food vendors all in a large, heated tent; has children’s activities in a separate building; and sets it all to music by cover band the Debits.

With tickets at $45 apiece, proceeds – also factoring in donations from sponsors

Saturday, February 7Noon-5:00 PM

The Columbus Zoo& Aquarium

All proceeds benefit local children’s charities

and auction bids – usually reach into the $100,000 range.

The event always benefits a variety of children’s charities in the Columbus area. One of the new ones this year is the Maria Tiberi Foundation, which raises money to buy simulators for organizations that discourage distracted driving in young people. There will also be a booth for Maria’s Mes-sage, which features a pledge people can sign aff irming that they will not drive while distracted.

Tiberi, who died in a distracted driving ac-cident in September 2013, was the daughter of Dom Tiberi, who has served as an MC for Chilly Opens past. That made the foundation a “no-brainer” as a ben-eficiary of the event, says Open chairman Pat Knott.

The club’s foundation shares in the proceeds and itself donates primarily

to children- and youth-oriented groups, mostly in

the Westerville area.Over 18 fundraisers, the

club has raised about $2.1 million.As usual, Flaherty will be in-

volved doing whatever is needed because that’s what club members do. One way or another, all 103 members participate, Knott says, whether at the zoo or working on details beforehand.

Knott notes the club has seen a member-ship spurt in recent years, owing in part, perhaps, to its sponsorship of the highly popular Field of Heroes each Memorial Day weekend in the Westerville Commu-nity Center’s activities field, an effort that strives only to break even financially, like the Chilly Open.

Face-painting is one of the children’s activities available at the event.

Among the other charities that benefit from

the Chilly Open are Children’s Hunger Alliance, St. Jude

Children’s Research Hospital, the Special Care Nursery at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s and

the Westerville Area Resource Ministry.


living Story and photos by Garth Bishop

Studio SuperstarSoundtracks, scores and symphonies are among the specialties of composer and producer

Music from a British movie trailer, arrangements for a local sym-phony performance, products

used by performers from Muse to Maroon 5, and more emanate from the unassuming home of Westerville resident Ken McCaw.

McCaw, who grew up in Columbus and graduated from Whetstone High School, has been a guitar and keyboard player for most of his life. He started playing the piano at age 5 and the guitar at 12 and eventually gravitated away from perform-ing and into scoring.

He studied music theory in college and earned a professional designation in film scoring from the University of California, Los

Angeles in 1984. Since then, his main work has been in writing and orchestration.

Though he has some experience with film soundtracks, the vast majority of the scores he has put together have been for live theater pro-ductions, many of them children’s plays. The music for a theatrical production, be it live or filmed, is transformative, McCaw says, and he enjoys setting a work’s themes to music – and seeing those themes come together as the work progresses.

“I’m very strong with writ-ing melodies,” he says. “I come up with things that people can remember.”

Though a lot of the productions McCaw has worked with have been in other states – he and

his family have lived in Tennessee, California, New

York and Florida. He has done business with Columbus Children’s

Theatre and Mills James Productions. He got some recognition for his work on Christy, the Musical, a play performed as part of Tennessee’s bicentennial, for which he not

only wrote the music, but also managed the entire 55-member staff of the play.

H e ’s a l s o d o n e t h e soundtracks to a NASCAR DVD, created the sound for a couple of film festival entries and produced an album of soundtrack music this year.

“My agent is now pitching (the songs) to the film indus-try,” he says.

For a lot of his theatrical work, McCaw arranges music that’s already been written, putting it together in a cohe-sive way. But he also writes a good amount of music himself.

This past year, he was commissioned by the Central Ohio Symphony to arrange an orchestral piece titled “Ice Dance.” The symphony per-formed “Ice Dance” at its Holiday Concerts, both held Dec. 14. The five-and-a-half-minute piece took him about 80 hours to write.

For much of his local stage production work, Ken

McCaw has collaborated with Westerville stage writer Sandy Kalan, who has written stage

versions of Alice in Wonderland, Jack and the Beanstalk and The Prince and the Pauper,

among others.

McCaw’s studio is an impressive sight. He has three computer setups: one for composing, one for recording and one for video editing, which he dabbles in.

“I now have all the state-of-the-art orchestral sound library (equipment) – the biggest and baddest available,” says McCaw.

Displays on the wall include his soundtrack albums, posters and promo-tional material for some of the projects he’s

worked on, and a variety of instruments – guitars, a banjo, an accordion and even an old trombone, which he doesn’t know how to play but thought looked cool.

Not only can he write and arrange music via his computer setup, he can automatically print out sheet music. He even has a small, soundproofed vocal booth in the corner where he can add words – with the assistance of folks who can sing, of course.

McCaw does more than just write and play music. He has also invented tools to enhance musical sound.

About 20 years ago, he created a device called the Hammer Jammer and had a run of them manufactured. It’s a key-hammering

mechanism for guitars that makes it easier to play at a fast clip.

“The main thing it does is give (players) new techniques and incredible speed,” he says.

The concept was innovative, but it didn’t do a lot of business. This was during the grunge era, and rapid-fire shredding was not in vogue.

“I bought out all the remaining sam-ples,” McCaw says. “There were about 2,000 of them.”

But the Hammer Jammer has gradually managed to gain recognition. McCaw used it on a soundtrack song that was picked up for a trailer for 2008 British adventure-comedy Stone of Destiny, starring Kate Mara (House of Cards), Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty) and Billy Boyd (The Lord of the Rings).

Then, in late 2013, he put on YouTube.com a technique video, titled “Amazing Guitar Invention,” showing what the Ham-mer Jammer can do. It suddenly went viral in January 2014, and all of the samples he’d been holding onto for two decades sold in two weeks across 60 countries.

Though new playing techniques ac-count for a big part of the device’s appeal, it’s also developed a following among indi-viduals who cannot play a standard guitar. McCaw has heard from a woman whose arthritis makes it impossible to finger-pick, and from a veteran who lost his fingers in combat but can still hit the Hammer Jam-mer’s keys with his palm.

He’s also seen some response from rec-ognizable names in the music industry. Matt Bellamy, lead singer and guitarist for alternative rock band Muse, posted a photo of himself using a Hammer Jam-mer in the studio in November.

McCaw also invented the ButtKicker, a silent subwoofer. It uses a silent motor to put vibrations into the human body – so you can’t hear the pounding sound, but you can certainly feel it.

“They put them in movie theaters, dance floors,” McCaw says. “A lot of gamers use it, a lot of bands.”

Among the bands and musicians who have used the device are Lady Gaga, Usher, Shania Twain, Alicia Keys and the Rolling Stones. It’s also used in TV; NBC Sports worked with the NHL to put transducers in the boards at hockey games so viewers at home can feel the impact of players crashing into them.

McCaw has lived in central Ohio since 1998 and Westerville since 2014. He and his wife, Kim, have two grown daughters.

Beat Feet, Eat Heat

Volunteer-made chili is served up as a post-Winter Hike tradition at Inniswood

“I can only remember one Winter Hike in the 16 years I’ve worked here where we couldn’t hike,” says Steelman. “Last year, we had a level 2 snow emergency, but hikers still came out.”

A hiker who completes seven hikes in the series is given a small patch to commemorate the accomplishment, marked with the year. But a patch isn’t the only reward a hiker can expect after finishing a wintry excursion, especially at Inniswood.

While a bevy of baked goods and hot chocolate is served at the end of the hike, what hikers look forward to the most, Steelman says, is the chili. The hot and hearty meals come in multiple varieties to appeal to all audiences. In the past, venison, vegetarian, spicy chi-potle, regular and turkey-beef combination chilis have been served.

Last year, hungry hikers went through 30 gallons of chili, 15 gallons of hot chocolate, 10 gallons of water and hundreds of cookies and other assorted baked goods. With up to 1,600 hikers turning out, it can be a daunting task to prepare all the food. Vol-unteers prepare and serve the food and drink to famished foresters.

The meal is free for hikers, but a donation jar is always avail-able. All proceeds go to Inniswood Volunteers Inc.

Walkers take part in last year’s Winter Hike at Inniswood Metro Gardens.

Hikers dig into the chili and baked goods at the end of the excursion.

The average wintertime hike is a frigid affair, but at Inniswood Metro Gar-dens, volunteers have figured out a

way to battle the chill once the hike is over.Inniswood’s Winter Hike is slated for

Jan. 25. It’s part of Franklin County Metro Parks’ 42nd annual Winter Hike series, in which 12 of the 16 Metro Parks participate. The series begins Jan. 3 at Blacklick Woods Metro Park and ends Feb. 28 at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park.

Each park’s event is a mix of guided and self-guided hikes. Hikers can choose how long their treks last, with trail distances ranging from 1 to 6 miles.

The trail at Inniswood is approximately 2 miles long and fairly flat, so hikers of all ages can get in on the fun, though strollers are discouraged.

While the lay of the land may not pres-ent an issue, trail-goers should always keep the weather in mind, says Char Steelman, public gardens manager. The “winter” in “Winter Hike” is always a factor, but hikers in years past have rarely been deterred by a little snow.

Westerville-area Metro Parks Sharon Woods and Blendon

Woods have Winter Hikes, too. This year’s take place

Jan. 10 and Feb. 7, respectively.

Steelman stresses the Winter Hike series isn’t the only time people can walk the trails.

“People can come out any time to the parks, but there’s something about the group mentality,” she says.

The hike begins at 2 p.m. Hikers can meet at the garden entrance, 940 S. Hemp-stead Rd.
