Westerville Pays Tribute to First
Responders A piece of World Trade
Center steel 18 feet long, 8 feet wide and weighing 2 tons was
escorted up State St.(S.R. 3) as part of Westerville's 9/11 tribute.
During the 15 minute procession, the steel was saluted by area
police, fire/EMS and dispatch personnel and was gazed upon by school
children and Central Ohio residents.
At noon, a ceremony honored those who lost their
lives on September 11, 2001; the New York City personnel who worked
to save them and local First Responders that put their lives on the
line everyday in their own communities.

Fresh Green Program Helps
Families Get Produce
The
Westerville Area Resource Ministry, in partnership with the Uptown
Westerville Farmers' Market put fresh veggies in the hands of families in need
this past growing season.
Uptown
Farmers' Market
Manager Doug Winbigler says 2009 contributions to WARM's Fresh Green
program totaled $3794.61. Contributions came from individuals and
businesses in the Westerville area.
WARM clients
were given $5 coupons they could use to receive produce at the
Market each Wednesday and 494 of those were redeemed, which helped
provide WARM clients with fresh produce and homemade goods valued at
$2470.
"More
importantly", Winbigler said, the program "helped encourage these
families to become engaged and involved with the Farmers' Market and
the Westerville community."
