Dear Gahanna Residents,

As spring and summer arrive, this edition highlights many of the activities, programs, and people that continue to shape the character and energy of our community.

Inside, you’ll find details on a full range of opportunities to get out and enjoy Gahanna. From seasonal festivals and the monthly Gahanna Market, to live outdoor concerts, camps, swim days at our pools, and a variety of program offerings at the local library, there are plenty of ways to get out, connect with neighbors, and take part in what’s happening across our community.

With more residents and visitors using e-bikes and scooters, this issue includes important safety reminders from the Gahanna Division of Police to help keep riders and pedestrians safe. Simple practices like wearing a helmet, following traffic laws, staying visible, and watching for pedestrians are also included to help everyone get where they’re going responsibly.

You’ll also discover several new businesses that have recently opened in the City, including a unique experiential dining destination on the City’s west side that adds something new and engaging to our local business landscape. Each new opening strengthens our local economy and expands the variety of experiences available right here in the community.

Whether attending a neighborhood event, exploring a new local business, participating in a community program, or simply spending time with family and friends around the City, there are countless ways to stay connected and engaged in the months ahead. I hope this season gives you a chance to get out, discover something new, and enjoy all that Gahanna has to offer.

Warm regards,

Ride Smart

Gahanna Police share e-bike and scooter safety tips

As the weather warms up and summer gets underway, Gahanna’s trails, sidewalks, and parks are filling up with residents eager to enjoy the outdoors. Whether it’s a family bike ride, a trip to the park, or a quick ride around the neighborhood, e-bikes and scooters are becoming an increasingly common sight throughout the community.

With their growing popularity, the Gahanna Division of Police is encouraging riders – and parents – to keep safety in mind so everyone can continue to enjoy these shared spaces.

Deputy Chief Ethan Moffitt said e-bikes can be a great way for residents to get outside and stay active, but it’s important for riders to understand how and where they can be used safely.

“Some of these e-bikes can reach speeds close to 30 miles per hour,” Moffitt said. “When you’re traveling that fast, understanding where you can ride and how to ride safely becomes really important.”

Moffitt noted that Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are permitted on sidewalks outside of designated business districts, unless posted signs indicate otherwise. They may also be used on paved city trails when they are being pedaled. Riders should not use the motor while on sidewalks or trails. E-bikes are not permitted on the Mountain Bike Trail at Academy Park or on any nature trails in the City. Additionally, Class 3 e-bikes are not permitted on any sidewalks or city trails.

“Our goal is to help people enjoy riding while also making sure everyone using our trails and sidewalks stays safe,” Moffitt said. “The more riders understand the rules, the better experience it is for the entire community.”

As more young people take an interest in e-bikes and scooters, police also encourage parents to have a conversation before allowing their use. Because e-bikes are heavier and faster than traditional bikes, they require longer stopping distances and more time to react. Riders should practice in a safe area and become comfortable with the operation of their e-bike before heading into busier public areas.

Moffitt also reminds riders to stay alert to their surroundings, including traffic, pedestrians, and road or trail conditions. Furthermore, riders should eliminate distractions and be aware that the use of phones and headphones while riding is prohibited. Carrying a passenger is discouraged due to safety concerns.

“We want families to feel informed and prepared,” Moffitt said. “A simple con-

versation about safe riding habits can go a long way toward preventing accidents.”

The Division of Police reminds riders to wear properly fitted and fastened helmets and to use lights or reflective gear, especially during the evening hours.

In addition to e-bikes and scooters, officers have also noticed an increase in miniature e-motorcycles in the community. These vehicles are not permitted on public roadways or sidewalks.

“As these devices become more popular, we simply want everyone to ride responsibly and look out for one another,” Moffitt said. “When riders know the rules and stay alert, it helps keep our community safe for everyone enjoying the outdoors this summer.”

Dan Pearlman is the Communications Manager for the City of Gahanna.

What are the different classes of e-bikes?

E-bikes are grouped into three classes based on how the motor assists riders:

Class 1 e-bikes provide motor assistance only while the rider is pedaling and stop assisting at speeds above 20 mph.

Class 2 e-bikes can be powered by the motor alone, without pedaling, and also stop assisting at speeds above 20 mph.

Class 3 e-bikes provide motor assistance only while pedaling, but can assist riders up to 28 mph. These classifications are defined by the Gahanna City Code.

A Public Servant at Heart

The City’s new Director of Engineering looks forward to making everyday life better for residents

From the streets and sidewalks residents travel every day, to the waterlines and sewers beneath our neighborhoods, to the traffic signals and flow that keep Gahanna moving safely and efficiently, the City’s Engineering Department plays a central role in nearly every part of daily life. Now, that work is being guided by a new leader.

The City of Gahanna is excited to welcome Hossein Naraghi as its new Director of Engineering. With more than 30 years of experience in civil engineering and over 16 years in leadership and public service roles, Naraghi brings both expertise and a strong commitment to serving the City.

Naraghi’s career has taken him around the world, with engineering experience in North America, Australia, and Iran. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi and both his master’s and Ph.D. in civil engineering, with a focus on transportation - traffic and safety, from Iowa State University.

He later spent more than eight years as a research scientist at Iowa State and five years with the Iowa Department of Transportation, where he most recently served as Director of Traffic and Safety.

“Life took me to different places for adventure,” Naraghi said. “Some of them weren’t by choice, but they happened. They made me well prepared for the challenges in life as I went to different places.”

Naraghi was drawn to Gahanna because of the opportunity to make a meaningful and visible impact in the community. His passion for public service became clear during his time at the Iowa Department of Transportation.

“Serving the public is something that gives me a lot of great satisfaction,” he said.

The Department of Engineering is responsible for maintaining and improving the City’s infrastructure through coordinated programs and project delivery. This includes the annual Street and Sidewalk Programs and overseeing major utility work such as the ongoing Taylor Road waterline replacement.

Naraghi emphasized the importance of carefully prioritizing these efforts while relying on data and scientifically based information.

“First of all, we need to identify the deficiencies of our streets and sidewalks,” he explained. “We need to know where there is a need for sidewalks. We need to know the condition of our existing streets and sidewalks. I know that there is a lot of need out there, and we will have a solution for those needs.”

Naraghi also understands that construction projects can impact daily life, and he is committed to minimizing disruptions for residents as much as possible.

“My goal is to work very closely with contractors so that there is a minimal disruption for residents,” he said. “I always put myself in their shoes. We don’t want anything affecting residents’ lives, but sometimes there is a necessity to replace a waterline or replace underground utilities. I know some projects could bring discomfort to some residents, but unfortunately, the work needs to be done. But after completing those projects, they will make residents’ lives better.”

Outside of work, Naraghi enjoys spending time with his family. He and

his wife have two children. His son, 28, works for a pharmaceutical company in Dallas. His daughter, 19, is pursuing a business degree at the University of North Carolina.

Originally from Iran, Naraghi has lived in the U.S. since he was a young boy. He played soccer as a child and once played for the Iranian National Youth Soccer Team. He also played soccer for two years at San Jose State University before deciding to focus fully on his engineering studies.

Now that he’s in Gahanna, Naraghi is excited to explore the community. He looks forward to trying local restaurants, visiting parks, and getting out on the City’s trails. As someone who enjoys biking and hiking, he’s eager to experience everything Gahanna has to offer.

“I’m just delighted to be here,” he said. “I love to make a difference in people’s lives. By being in this position, I have the ability to serve the public and make their lives better. I hope I can bring that excitement to everyone here.”

Dan Pearlman is the Communications Manager for the City of Gahanna.

Fresh Faces, New Flavors, and Growing Opportunities in Gahanna

From unique dining experiences to expanding services and hometown business investment, new businesses are adding even more to explore in the City

Gold Cudgel Hot Pot

Immersive dining experiences have been arriving at a high frequency across Central Ohio, and this spring, Gahanna welcomed one of its newest culinary destinations: Gold Cudgel Hot Pot, located at 97 North Stygler Road.

The Sichuan-style restaurant offers a build-your-own hot pot experience where guests select meats, seafood, noodles, and vegetables to cook at their table in flavored broths. The restaurant uses a skewer-based ordering system that makes it easy for diners to customize and share their meal together.

Known for its bold and spicy flavors, Gold Cudgel brings a unique dining opportunity to the Gahanna area. Owner Kristen Kidder said her team saw a chance to introduce something different to the community.

“We found hot pot in Dublin and around the Bethel Road area, but we didn’t find any in Gahanna,” Kidder said. “That’s why we picked the Gahanna location. It’s also very close to the airport, so we can have local people come in and also people who want to try something different.”

Gold Cudgel saw a strong turnout for its grand opening, and Kidder said she’s

actively working to identify ways to cater to the customer experience.

Beyond the table experience, the team plans to expand the restaurant into a broader social space, with future offerings to include happy hours, catering, and opportunities for private group dining and celebrations.

DHC Chicken

Gahanna residents now have another destination for bold flavors and authentic Korean cuisine with the opening of DHC Chicken at 109 North Hamilton Road.

Co-owners and husband-and-wife duo Jinsoo Kwak and Hyunjin Kang were excited to open the restaurant’s second location in May after launching their first DHC Chicken restaurant in Pickerington in 2022. DHC – which stands for Daehan, or Korean, Chicken – specializes in Korean fried chicken, fusion dishes, and traditional Korean meals.

“Food is a big part of Korean culture, and we just thought it would be a cool and fun experience and a nice way to share our culture,” said Kwak.

Some of their family’s favorite dishes on the menu include the Korean street food tteokbokki – which comes in five

varieties – and their signature garlic spicy sauce, which is imported directly from South Korea. Along with familiar sides like fries and coleslaw, guests can also try traditional accompaniments like kimchi and pickled radish.

As the restaurant settles into its new Gahanna location, the team at DHC hopes to continue introducing residents to Korean dishes and traditions.

“It’s always fun to learn about different cultures, share things about our own Korean culture, and share food,” Kwak said. “So, we just thought it would be nice to share our traditions, culture, and food with the people in our community.”

Heartland Hospice

Heartland Hospice opened its new Gahanna location at 1100 Beecher Crossing North, Suite D, bringing expanded compassionate care and support services to local residents and families.

Founded in 1994, Heartland Hospice focuses on providing compassionate palliative and end-of-life care, centered on dignity, comfort, and quality of life.

With a team of nurses, physicians, social workers, volunteers, hospice aides, and chaplains, Heartland Hospice offers 24/7

support, including emotional and spiritual care, respite care, and bereavement care, to help patients as well as families and caregivers through challenging times.

Care plans are tailored to each individual and can be provided wherever patients call home, including private residences, assisted living communities, and nursing facilities.

Now part of Gentiva Health Services, Heartland Hospice is part of an integrated network, including hospice, palliative, and personal care providers. With more than a dozen locations across Ohio and serving 42 counties, they bring additional healthcare resources and support options to Gahanna.

“We are excited to open this location in Gahanna and care for patients and families in the Columbus area,” said Gentiva Director of Communications Megan Friedman. “While the move itself is newsworthy, we believe it opens the door to a larger and often misunderstood story: what hospice care really is, and what it isn’t. Many families wait far too long to seek hospice support because of common misconceptions, and this relocation provides a timely opportunity to help demystify the topic for the community.”

Waltz Business Solutions

With the opening of its newest location at 950 Taylor Station Road, Waltz Business Solutions brings nearly 135 years of established printing and documentation capabilities to the Gahanna community.

Originally founded as a typewriter repair and servicing company based in Kentucky, Waltz Business Solutions has evolved into a legacy company, adapting to technological trends to provide printing, document management, office security, and artificial intelligence-based business solutions.

Following the acquisition of Columbusbased Star Digital Solutions in January 2025, the company initially located in Grove City, but quickly outgrew their space. After searching for a larger facility, they found just what they needed in Gahanna – a front-end office and warehouse building with great access to the surrounding Columbus area.

Since moving into the community, the team has already partnered with local organizations, schools, hotels, and the City on document management and security technology solutions. The team is now working to grow its capabilities to help other organizations, school systems, nonprofits, and the larger community.

“We believe in rolling up our sleeves and being a part of the communities that we live, work, and serve in,” said Shane Richie, Vice President of the Columbus Market. “As we get more of a footprint here, and we have more time here, our mission is to have a positive impact on the community.”

A Literary Staple

The Columbus Metropolitan Library Gahanna Branch brings community programs and fun to residents

As the school year comes to an end and residents look for fun ways to cool off from the summer sun, the Gahanna Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) continues to capture patrons’ hearts with its abundant collection of resources, and education and development programming.

From beginning as a portable structure on Rocky Fork Boulevard to expanding at its current 310 Granville Street location, the Branch has grown alongside the needs of the Gahanna community, providing high-quality community programs and services to residents for more than 55 years.

The Gahanna Branch is now rolling out several months of engaging activities and curated resources for all residents – children and adults alike – to last all summer long.

Book Recommendations from Youth Services Team

Chasing Vermeer (middle-grade mystery) by Blue Balliett Winterhouse (middle-grade mystery/fantasy) by Ben Guterson

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (middle-grade fantasy/adventure) by Kate DiCamillo

High Tide in Tucson (nonfiction/ memoir) by Barbara Kingsolver

Out of the Dust (middle-grade/ young adult/historical fiction) by Karen Hesse

Programs for All

Patrons can anticipate much of the familiar summer programming that they have come to know and love.

The summer reading challenge – a tradition that dates back nearly 90 years at the CML – kicks off on Monday, June 1 with a day of games and activities at the Gahanna Branch.

Running through Friday, July 31, the challenge to read 15 minutes per day has become a staple for all ages, incentivizing summer reading with prizes and end-of-summer raffles, as well as finding new ways for patrons to connect with the Library.

“It’s just a really great way to get the community to engage with reading, but also coming to the Library and interacting with the community and with the staff,” said Angela Sharkey, Youth Services Manager of the Gahanna Branch. “We have volunteers help us with that program, which is really cool. Lots of teenagers will be here getting their first volunteer job experience, helping us hand out prizes and helping us with programs.”

Several specialized programs will return for different age groups. For young readers, the Library hosts numerous summertime story readings and other activities.

Long-time Youth Services Librarian Sarah Mackey looks forward to the Ready for Kindergarten Class for children ages 3-5, which teaches children letter writing, cutting with scissors, and other skills to prepare them for the classroom. For her, it’s not just about helping prepare the children for kindergarten – it’s also about helping grown-ups feel confident and prepared to support them.

Sharkey, who has worked at the Gahanna Branch for more than 15 years, particularly enjoys the programs that bring young individuals and families through the Library’s doors.

“I love Baby Lap Time because I feel like it’s sort of a gateway into the Library,” Sharkey said. “Often, we find parents who have never even been to the Library, but that program opens up a whole world of what the Library has to offer. We’ve connected a lot of families through Baby Lap

Time, where even years later, they’ll still meet together at the Library and they form that little village that I think a lot of young parents are looking for.”

Kids who are ages 7-11 years old can get involved with arts programs such as Kids Create, where they can dabble in experiments and creative projects. The Farm Animal Event – Bring the Farm to You is another opportunity for schoolaged kids and families where they can see and pet chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, pigs, sheep, and goats.

Teen-specific programming highlights opportunities for creativity and entertainment. Some teen programs include Teens Create Open Studio during the week, along with regular Teen Tabletop Games and Chess Club meetings.

Adult programs focus on crafts and educational experiences, from Cryptocurrency in 5 with the Better Business Bureau to Nature Journaling and health discussions, STEAM Club, Crochet Club, and more.

“It’s hard to choose a favorite program because we hit on every age group and even adults – we have a little something for everyone,” said Sharkey. “It’s neat to see multiple ages coming to programs and engaging in the Library.”

Beyond the Shelves and Programs

As one of 23 CML locations serving Franklin County, and as a partner with a Central Ohio Consortium of 18 Central Ohio libraries, the Gahanna Branch is one part of a larger, award-winning major public Library system that provides numerous school, career, and work readiness tools.

With a Library membership, patrons can use the free CML mobile app to browse the catalog of books, DVDs, and other media across the Library branches and reserve items to check out.

They can also use their library card for online resources through different databases and accounts.

“Traditionally, people think, ‘Oh, a library card. I can check out regular old books,’” Sharkey said. “Of course, you can, but there’s a vast number of resources you have access to with a library card. We have a lot of digital resources.”

Some such services include accessing online databases such as Ancestry.com or online movie and documentary platform, Kanopy; as well as creating free accounts with e-book, magazine, and audiobook platform Libby.

“I definitely love Libby - lots of audiobooks and e-books for myself and my three kids,” said Mackey. “And Kanopy with lots of documentaries and educational films on there.”

Library cardholders can get free culture passes for events and activities throughout Columbus through CML’s partnerships, with some examples including performances for music organizations such as ProMusica and the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, to theatrical groups like BalletMet and Shadowbox Live. These passes also provide daily admissions to arts and other entertainment spaces including the Columbus Museum of Art and Dawes Arboretum.

On-site, the Gahanna Branch offers many resources from free Wi-Fi and computer access, to study and meeting room reservations. Computer access comes with print, copy, fax, and scan capabilities, with printing costing $0.10 per page for black and white prints and $0.50 per page for color prints.

Additionally, free, basic notary services are now available by appointment at the Gahanna Branch, with an Ohio Notary Public able to provide services including identity verification, witnessing signatures, document stamps, affidavits, and other document confirmation.

Award-winning Services

The Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) recently won the Library of the Future Award from the American Library Association in 2025 for the work of its AI Task Force to raise awareness and provide education on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to its members and the larger library community.

CML has received many other accolades over its 150-plus years of servicing Central Ohio, including a National Medal from the Institute of Museum & Library Services in 2011, recognizing its commitment to outreach and services through its job and homework help centers and early literacy program, Ready to Read Corps. It was also named the 2010 National Library of the Year and awarded a Top 5-Star Ranking from 2008 to 2014 by the Library Journal

Spring into Summer in Gahanna

Explore the events, entertainment, and experiences that bring our community together

Warmer weather in Gahanna signals the return of everything residents love most about our community – evenings at Creekside filled with live music, weekends packed with festivals and local flavor, and countless opportunities to connect with neighbors, friends, and family.

From the nationally recognized Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival® and Creekside Live concerts to outdoor markets, pool nights, camps, and community events, the City comes alive during the warmer months with experiences for every age and interest. Whether you’re discovering a new favorite restaurant, listening to music under the stars, or spending the day poolside, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy summer close to home.

Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival®

What began as a half-day community celebration to mark the opening of Creekside Park in 1999 has since grown

to a three-day festival of music and local cuisine that welcomes more than 20,000 visitors to Gahanna each year.

Now entering its 27th year, the 2026 Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival® returns Friday, June 19–Sunday, June 21 with nationally recognized performers, local favorites, food vendors, and community organizations lining the Creekside District. This year’s headliners include American blues and southern rock band North Mississippi Allstars; Tito Puente Jr., bringing a blend of Latin jazz, salsa, and contemporary rhythm; and acclaimed blues guitarist and vocalist Selwyn Birchwood.

The Festival will spotlight local talent, including Gahanna Lincoln High School graduate Eric Rollin, who will perform on the Creekside Stage on June 19, as part of the Juneteenth celebration. A professional emcee, songwriter, mentor, and educator, Rollin remains deeply connected to both the local and national music communities, including being an

active member and advocate for several non-profit organizations dedicated to community music development.

Visit Gahanna’s Marketing & Communications Manager Jarod White said Rollin was chosen by the Gahanna Juneteenth Committee specifically due to his ties to the local community.

“I think having someone who grew up in Gahanna is really cool, and it means something to the artist, as it does to the people who host the Festival as well,” White said.

Residents can also support Gahanna businesses – including Golden Delight, Donna’s Delicious Dozen, Edison Brewing, Bubbles Tea, GoYoga, Simple Times Mixers, and The Peach Cobbler Factory – by stopping by their trucks, stands, and open storefronts around the festival grounds.

Festival attendees can also help support local nonprofits through volunteer-run

beverage stations benefiting organizations such as the Kiwanis Club of Gahanna, the Rotary Club of Gahanna, Cookies 4 A Cure, the Gahanna Parks & Recreation Foundation, and the Gahanna Community Chorus, with tips going directly to the nonprofits.

“We were able to raise over $15,000 for local nonprofits last year just through the volunteer programming,” White said. “When people are spending money at the Festival, they can feel good that when they tip, that money can go toward those organizations and support them.”

Gahanna Market

The Gahanna Parks & Recreation Department and Visit Gahanna are partnering once again to bring live music and local vendors to Creekside this summer with the Gahanna Market.

The Market combines the energy of a community gathering with the charm of a local farmers market, creating an experience that offers something for everyone.

“This feels like it’s a good mix of the two of them,” White said. “There were some people who liked the music in Creekside, and then there were some people who would just want to shop. So, this offers a bit of both for people.”

The Market returns on four Wednesdays throughout the summer – June 10, July 8, August 5, and September 9 – from 4-7 p.m. Visitors can browse fresh produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, and specialty items while enjoying free games like Jenga, chess, sidewalk chalk, and Connect 4.

Each market date will also feature live entertainment from local musicians, adding to the relaxed summer atmosphere at Creekside. On June 10, Kismet Notes, a duo featuring Cliff Marsh on saxophone and Laura Kay on vocals, will deliver soulful hits from the ’70s, ’80s, and

Summer Camps

The City of Gahanna’s summer day camps, offered through the Department of Parks & Recreation, provide plenty of opportunities for children to stay active throughout the summer. Camps center around developing social interaction skills while building independence with activities such as outdoor exploration, weekly pool visits, and arts and crafts.

Traditional day camps – such as Camp Hannah and Camp Friendship, for campers ages 6-10 –offer a balanced mix of activities led by trained staff. Camp Thrive, for older campers ages 13-15, takes campers to a variety of parks and engaging places for teens. Other specialty camps focus on areas such as theater, STEM, and athletics through partnerships with local organizations. For more information, go to Gahanna.gov.

’90s to Creekside. Tyy Perkins, a local artist known for his engaging cover performances which blend a wide range of genres, follows on July 8.

Heading into August, Isabella Gresham, lead singer for Just Another Mojo,

will take the stage solo for her August 5 performance of blues and rock classics on keyboard. Jeff McCargish, leader of the youth musical education group 614BluesEd, will round out the performances on September 9.

Creekside Live

The music continues all summer long with Creekside Live, Gahanna’s free outdoor concert series at Creekside Plaza.

Held on Friday evenings from 7-10 p.m., the series gives residents a chance to gather downtown, enjoy live entertainment, and kick off the weekend together.

The season opens May 29 with Hoodoo Soul Band, a longtime Columbus funk and soul favorite known for en-

ergetic performances and classic R&B covers. McGuffey Lane follows on June 26 with its signature country rock sound, while Columbus-based cover band LDNL closes the series on July 31 with pop, hip-hop, and dance hits paired with choreographed performances.

With Creekside Live being a popular draw, those looking for a front row seat are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and arrive early for the best spots.

Taste of Gahanna

Gahanna’s summer celebration of local dining returns Sunday, August 23 as Edison Brewing hosts the 29th annual Taste of Gahanna. Put on by the Gahanna Area Chamber of Commerce and presented by Toyota Direct and Drive Direct, this event brings residents together to enjoy the diverse tastes and vibrant culinary scene that Gahanna restaurants offer.

For a $50 entry fee for adults – which includes one free drink – guests can sample dishes from local favorites including Lola & Giuseppe’s Trattoria, Nazareth, and The Peach Cobbler Factory while enjoying live entertainment and voting for their favorite bites.

Attendees will have a chance to vote for their favorite bites in six categories ranging from best entrée and best beverage to best overall dish.

While enjoying local drinks and bites, residents can support local artists as well, including blues and jazz group Blue Spectrum and students from the School of Rock.

“It’s an opportunity for our restaurant members to showcase their best offerings, and it’s a way for residents to be introduced to restaurants that they may have never tried,” said Brad Fisher, Executive Director of the Gahanna Area Chamber of Commerce.

Together, these events highlight what makes the summer months in Gahanna special – vibrant local businesses, welcoming gathering spaces, live entertainment, and a strong sense of community connection that keeps residents coming together all season long.

Celebrating Minds of All Kinds Across Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools

Annual Spread the Word initiative highlights kindness, acceptance, and the unique strengths of every student

For more than a decade, GahannaJefferson Public Schools has shared with its students and the overall community the importance of using words for kindness and accepting everyone for their unique gifts.

“We’re celebrating accepting all students for all of their strengths and their needs, regardless of their abilities,”

GJPS Director of Special Education Sue LeHota said. “We’re celebrating us being all together and appreciating each other as people.”

This year’s Spread the Word event was highlighted by an outdoor event at

GLHS Intervention Specialist Katie Roslovic and a student work together during a Celebrate Minds of All Kinds challenge activity.
Students experience adaptive activities firsthand while racing wheelchairs on the track at GLHS.

Gahanna Lincoln High School, where students of all abilities could enjoy each other’s friendship and camaraderie. Upon entering, all students signed a pledge to be respectful and compas sionate. Then they participated in a va riety of activities, such as wheelchair races, seated volleyball, and blind soc cer, in order for people to have a better understanding of what it’s like to have a disability.

“Exposure is everything,” Katie Ro slovic, Intervention Specialist for the Extended Support Services program at GLHS, said. “For the wheelchair races, I told them this is your opportunity to walk, or roll, in someone else’s shoes.”

Since 2010, the program has had a new theme each year. Every year, the team works to identify a theme that simply helps celebrate inclusion and collaboration, with previous themes of “Every Voice Counts,” “The Power of We” and “Be Kind.” This year’s theme was “Celebrate Minds of All Kinds.”

We’re celebrating us being all together and appreciating each other as people.

“Celebrating minds of all kinds is just that everyone is different. Everyone is unique in their ability,” Roslovic said. “It could be learning challenges or physical limitations. It could be with mental health or things like that. So, celebrating minds of all kinds is really just celebrating that we are all unique.”

The theme is displayed and celebrated at the High School every year, but it is truly an initiative that has taken hold throughout the District. Many schools plan their own celebrations, including Royal Manor Elementary’s annual town hall. For the past four years, the building has been bringing the idea to elementary students.

This year, Royal Manor students decorated the hallways, participated in inclusion talks, and completed a writing project. The staff shared a virtual library of books that showcase disabilities in a pos-

itive light, and the school participated in a spirit week leading up to the building’s town hall. Similar to the High School, the students had the opportunity to sign a pledge at the town hall and listen to some of the writing projects completed by their fellow students.

“I think it is of the utmost importance for students at the elementary level to celebrate minds of all kinds and truly understand what it means to include and accept others,” Kassie Kudler, Intervention Specialist for the Extended Learning Support Services program at Royal Manor, said. “I firmly believe that each and every student has something meaningful to contribute to our community, and our Spread the Word initiative provides us the opportunity to recognize and celebrate all contributions.”

Spread the Word has grown into something that students and staff look forward to each year.

“I’m feeling proud,” Roslovic said. “I was born and raised in this District, so I’ve spent my whole life around people of all abilities, but I realize that that’s not everyone’s reality. Having the opportunity for my students and then students without disabilities to just see that we’re more alike than we are different is great.”

In addition to students and staff taking time to celebrate minds of all kinds, the general community continues the celebration beyond the school walls.

“When I’m in the community and see the t-shirts that have accumulated over the years, it’s so exciting to see that community members, even outside of GJPS, feel that this is a worthy cause and they support it,” LeHota said.

Care in Focus

A hometown patient grows up to carry on a trusted tradition of care in Gahanna

For many residents, a visit to the eye doctor is a familiar part of growing up. For Dr. E. Connor Smallwood, it helped shape the future he would one day return home to build. Today, the lifelong Gahanna resident is not only caring for patients in the same community where he was raised – he’s doing so from the very practice where he once sat as a young patient himself.

Raised in Gahanna and a graduate of Gahanna Lincoln High School, Smallwood returned home after earning his Doctor of Optometry degree from The Ohio State University College of Optometry in 2019. He joined Tencza Eye Associates, working alongside Dr. Peter Tencza, the optometrist he had visited since childhood.

In 2024, after more than three decades of serving the community, Tencza retired and entrusted the practice to Smallwood, beginning a new chapter under the name Smallwood Eye Associates.

Still located in the Creekside District at 78 Mill Street, the practice continues its longstanding tradition of personalized care while introducing new technology and expanded services for patients of all ages.

A Full-Circle Journey

Smallwood still remembers how comfortable Tencza made him feel during appointments as a child – an experience that left a lasting impression.

“He took the time to get to know me and really made me feel comfortable as a young boy in a doctor’s office,” Smallwood said. “That’s a hard thing to do sometimes. I remember always loving to go get my eyes checked with him.”

That early connection helped inspire Smallwood’s future career path. For his undergraduate studies, Smallwood attended Vanderbilt University and studied neuroscience, fascinated by the brain and vision. During his time at Vanderbilt, he had the opportunity to shadow Tencza and saw firsthand how meaningful community-based healthcare could be.

“I was like, ‘Hey, this is a really cool career field where it can directly impact people. I can operate a business, I can be in healthcare, and I can be close to my family, my community,’” Smallwood said. “It was a perfect fit.”

Today, Smallwood Eye Associates maintains the same expert eye care,

with services including pediatric eye exams, contact lens evaluations, care for eye infections and injuries, and more.

Carrying on a Trusted Legacy

For many long-time patients, the transition from Tencza to Smallwood felt natural. The two doctors worked side-by-side for five years before the ownership transition, giving patients time to build trust and relationships with Smallwood before he took over the practice – something Smallwood believes has played a major role in retaining a high number of the previous patient base.

Some patients even continue traveling more than an hour for appointments.

“I always tell those patients, ‘You probably drove past 10 optometry offices to get here today, so we appreciate your loyalty,’” Smallwood said. “And they usually respond by saying, ‘Well, if you were good enough for Dr. Tencza to hire, then you’re good enough to be taking care of my eyes.’ They really do know that Dr. Tencza wanted the best for his patients. And now, I think the thing that I’m most honored by is being able to continue his legacy of great care.”

Looking Ahead While Staying Rooted

While preserving the personalized approach patients have come to expect, Smallwood is also focused on modernizing the practice with updated equipment, expanded treatment options, and more advanced diagnostic capabilities. Some of these tools include multifocal contact lenses that can reduce the need for reading glasses, and specialized

glasses that can help slow nearsightedness progression in children.

Smallwood also brings a unique ability to connect with a diverse range of patients. Fluent in Spanish, he spent a year living in Nicaragua while volunteering at an ophthalmology hospital.

“I can give fluent Spanish during eye exams in my office,” Smallwood said. “I think that it helps people feel a lot more comfortable when you speak their primary language. My experience in Nicaragua definitely helped to reinforce my ability to use Spanish and language as a connecting tool for a population of patients that otherwise I might not have been able to support.”

Investing in the Community That Raised Him

Beyond caring for patients, Smallwood values being actively involved in the community he has always called home. The practice is a member of the Gahanna Area Chamber of Commerce, and Smallwood enjoys supporting neighboring Creekside businesses and building relationships with other local professionals.

“I think that being integrated and utilizing the community has been a very good way to market but also support the neighboring businesses as well,” Smallwood said. “I think that’s what makes the community go around – when we all lean in and support one another.”

Smallwood additionally hopes to integrate himself more with surrounding health care practitioners, with the goal of establishing a referral network.

Most importantly, Smallwood and his wife are now raising their own three young children in Gahanna, continuing the same sense of community and connection that shaped his own upbringing.

“I’m happy that I get to continue Dr. Tencza’s legacy of good care in our community, and now I am able to see patients that are people who I’ve grown up with and families of people who I’ve grown up with,” Smallwood said. “It makes it feel a lot less like work when you get to take care of your family and your friends.”

10 Parks in 10 Weeks

Take advantage of Gahanna’s green spaces this summer

In Gahanna, there’s no better way to spend the upcoming summer than outdoors. With more than 800 acres of parkland, 52 parks, and an abundant network of trails, there’s always somewhere new to explore. Beyond the scenery, Gahanna’s parks are designed to bring residents together, support well-being, and create space for the community to thrive.

“The Gahanna Parks & Recreation Department exists to create the opportunity for community, providing spaces for all people and all interests,” said Parks & Recreation Director Stephania Ferrell. “Parks allow residents to try new things, learn new skills, connect with neighbors, and take stewardship over where they live.”

From quiet walks along wooded trails and sunny afternoons spent at playgrounds, to programmed community events such as Creekside Live summer concerts, Gahanna’s parks make it easy to step away from the busyness of daily life and recharge.

“Outdoor time is essential to physical and mental wellness,” Ferrell said. “The park setting is healing. Parks offer a chance to get sunlight and fresh air, get your body moving, incorporate yourself into the community, and enjoy some peacefulness in a safe place that gives you separation from the hustle and bustle.”
