Westerville city, schools: Some changes prompted by COVID-19 will continue
A patriotic light show, online and streaming public meetings and live virtual fitness programs that started as a result of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic likely will continue because of their popularity and effectiveness in Westerville.
Ellen Cathers, chairperson for the Lights of Liberty through the Rotary Club of Westerville, said the drive-thru patriotic light show definitely started because of a desire to offer something safe for the community during COVID.
“We are in partnership with Butch Bando’s Fantasy of Lights,” she said of the show that was offered for the second consecutive year June 25 through July 2.

Westerville city spokesperson Christa Dickey said Lois Beachler was the owner and sole occupant of the ranch-style home, which is located at 276 Brisbane Ave., between Pointview Drive and Barcelona Avenue, a little over a block west of Huber Village Park.
Westerville firefighters were called around 5:50 p.m. Thursday on a report of a fire that appeared to have started in the living room of the 1,730-square-foot ranch home, Dickey said.
According to a 911 call, a neighbor arrived back at their home and noticed smoke coming from Beachler s garage. Neighbors attempted to get inside the home, but the exterior doors were locked, according to the call.
COLUMBUS (AP) The names of the hospital officers involved in the fatal shooting of a man in an Ohio emergency room last month won’t be released by a private health system, with officials arguing that that information isn’t subject to the state open records law.
Columbus and suburban Westerville police officers, along with security officers from Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital, also in Westerville, all had roles in events leading to the April 12 death of Miles Jackson. Both Columbus and St. Ann’s officers fired their weapons.
Columbus released the names of its officers and their personnel files within 48 hours of the shooting. Westerville also released records about its officers who did not fire their guns and their interactions with Jackson before the shooting.
