The staff is great and the chef is excellent!

He not only makes good meals, but is flexible with my special requests. And gardening is one of my passions, so I’m happy I can still garden outside in the spring. My caregiver is the best – he is so kind and considerate and still gives me privacy when I need it.

New Albany Gives

N

ew Albany is beautiful. Its palatial Georgian architecture is visually unavoidable to visitors and residents alike. The 33 miles of walking and running trails serve to motivate those of all ages to engage in outdoor pursuits regardless of the season. The Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts, in partnership with the New Albany Community Foundation, brings world-renowned speakers and entertainers to our front door.

The beauty that is New Albany is far more extensive than what has already been identified. After reading Lydia Freudenberg’s feature about Lynne and Martyn Redgrave, I am reminded of another aspect of New Albany that is woven throughout its fabric. Buried below the visual sightlines are extensive pathways that merge into one unifying home that calls itself philanthropy. As a family, the Redgraves represent the epitome of giving back with the hope that others can flourish. Their generosity to individuals and organizations is notable. Through their charitable donations, nonprofit organizations such as Healthy New Albany are able to channel their giving to programs such as I am Thriving, a comprehensive initiative that helps cancer survivors promote their physical and mental wellbeing, thus reducing the chances of their cancer reoccurring.

While many people think of philanthropy as donating money to a cause or organization, I think about our community and the many other ways philanthropy is exemplified. Among these are: Volunteerism. Think about the 500 New Albany Walking Classic volunteers, many of whom are our middle school and high school students who arrive at 5:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning to help set up. Or the numerous men and women who donate their time at the New Albany Food Pantry.

Service. If one were to look at membership on boards, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to find a community, the size of New Albany’s inordinately represented. One need not look further than the board of The Ohio State University’s the James Cancer Hospital Solove Research Institute as an example.

Supporting Missions.

No ZIP code raises more funds for Pelotonia than 43054, New Albany.

I am proud to say I live in a community where its culture encourages so many to give so much. If I had the authority to create a tagline for our community, it would be New Albany Gives!

Healthfully,

Phil Heit, Executive Director

Going Past Comfortable My journey toward physical and mental health

A

ug. 23, 2015, was probably a normal day for every kid who attended New Albany High School, but it was a very big day for me. It marked the beginning of my change in diet and exercise.

At this point in my life, I was 5 feet 10 inches tall and almost 200 pounds, and most of the weight that I carried was not muscle. Ever since I could remember, I was always the “heavy kid” – I went through school getting bullied for being on the heavy side. I loved to play sports, but I was never the athletic one when I played, and I always found myself very winded and gasping for air after doing any sort of exercise.

Growing up, I always aspired to look like bodybuilders and professional wrestlers, and I wanted to have muscles like the pros. So, on that night of Aug. 23, 2015, I asked my dad if he could help me develop a diet that would help me lose weight. The program required cutting out all the foods I loved so much. I even gave up pop. As a then17-year-old, it felt like my world was going to end if I didn’t have Mountain Dew. The next challenge was switching up my workout routine, because my once-per-week plan was not cutting it. I started going to the gym with my friend, Justin, who was practically built like Hercules, and he gave me all sorts of knowledge on how to build muscle. I was in the gym every weekday after school with Justin, and every time I felt like quitting, he would push me to limits I never thought I could achieve. If there was a weight I couldn’t lift, Justin was there to spot me and make sure I didn’t give up. And after every workout, I would run a mile on the treadmill to help with weight loss.

Within a matter of three months, I lost 55 pounds.

There is a large mental battle that comes along with working out, and I found that to be the hardest battle. A part of me has never been happy with how I looked, and I always told myself that happiness would come with losing weight.

But even after all the weight came off, I still found it difficult to be happy with how I looked. I was in the best shape of my life, but for some reason I only saw someone who was heavy when I looked in the mirror.

My biggest personal struggle is finding out how to be happy with the appearance of my body. At first, I just kept trying to build up my muscle and be physically strong, but that still didn’t help. As strong as I was, there was always someone stronger and better looking. Comparing myself to others led me to feel bad about myself and fall back into my old habits – overeating and not making wise food choices.

It was now 2017, and I realized that I had spent two years in the gym solely because I cared what others thought about

10

my physical appearance. This led me to almost quitting the gym entirely in 2018 – my old habits were sounding nice. Toward the end of 2018, I felt I needed to reassess myself, much like I did when I was 17. Body image aside though, this time I was unhappy because I cared about my own mental health.

In 2019, my dad got me a membership to the Philp Heit Center for Healthy New Albany, and I initially had mixed feelings. It’s very different than other gyms I attended. However, I walked in for the first time in January 2019 and was surprised – the employees treated me kindly and it was an overall amazing experience. I felt like I could work out and be comfortable with myself for the first time in forever.

By March, my slump of not going to the gym had completely ended, and I was back to working out regularly. It felt www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Donnie Cameron before starting his wellness journey.

great. I started to have confidence in myself, regardless of how I looked, and it was because I learned a very important lesson along the way: Comparing myself to others, such as bodybuilders, would never help me feel better about myself.

I needed to take time to appreciate the effort I had put forward and the results that helped me gain confidence.

At one point, I was a kid who dreaded running the annual mile in gym class, and now I can run four miles with an 8:32 split. I have achieved so much along the way, and that has given me so much confidence to push myself out of my comfort zone and find fun ways to stay active. Up until this year, I was afraid to play soccer because I felt I wouldn’t be good at it, but I went out of my comfort zone and joined a soccer league, discovering I’m actually pretty decent.

One of my old baseball coaches always told me, “Go past comfortable,” and that would lead to success.

Too many times in my life I wanted to stay in my comfort zone, but I am very grateful that people pulled me out of it.

Whether it be for physical, educational or mental wellness, I want people to know that they can exceed limits they set for themselves, as well as find happiness in who they are and what they do.

The Power of Two

Lynne and Martyn Redgrave help the NACF thrive

12

www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

F

or a foundation to not only survive – but thrive – for 25 years is no small feat. However, thanks to volunteers, community leaders and donors, the New Albany Community Foundation has done just that.

Over the last several years, a name that truly stands out for its volunteer and philanthropic efforts is Redgrave. Lynne and Martyn Redgrave, to be exact.

Uniquely New Albany

The Redgraves moved to New Albany in 2005 after Martyn accepted a position to work for Les Wexner as his chief administrative officer at L Brands.

Shortly after relocating, the couple learned about the efforts of the NACF and were immediately intrigued.

“We were impressed that there is a New Albany Community Foundation and that it’s organized to try and look at the different needs of the community and serve those needs,” Martyn says. “It was a natural place for us to be involved.”

“The foundation is instrumental to the success of this community,” Lynne adds.

Even before moving to New Albany, the Redgraves valued philanthropic work, so they saw plenty of opportu-

“We’re very fortunate to have an organization in the community that is staying ahead of the trends and providing more and more opportunities for the residents. The foundation will continue doing great work far beyond our time.”

Lynne Redgrave

nity with the NACF. Throughout their now 42-year marriage, the Redgraves have lived in eight communities where they supported many grassroots movements. The couple still has a home in Steamboat, Colorado, and continues to work with educational groups that support youth who aspire to have Olympic and professional skiing careers. It’s a perfect fit for the two, who share a love for the sport.

Out of all their past homes, however, Lynne and Martyn agree that New Albany is special. The NACF plays a unique and vital role making that so.

“When we have speakers come to the community and talk about New Albany and what an incredible place we live in and reaffirm that, it always makes me feel like, ‘Wow, it is recognizable,’” Lynne says.

Working Toward a Brighter Tomorrow

Separately, Lynne and Martyn boast an impressive number of hours serving on boards. Together, they’re a force in New Albany. Lynne served on the boards of the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts and the

Columbus Metropolitan Library, where she helped raise more than $120 million during CML’s capital campaign; Martyn on the Junior Achievement of Central Ohio board and now 14 years on the United Way of Central Ohio board – and that’s just to name a few.

When Lynne was asked to join the NACF board, it was an easy yes; especially since the Redgraves’ shared ideals of supporting education, helping the underserved, health and wellness, and the arts align closely with the foundation’s as well as the city’s four community pillars.

“I have learned there is so much more that the foundation does for our community then I ever imagined, and it’s very exciting to be a part of that,” Lynne says.

She didn’t join just to help great causes, but was also inspired by the president of the NACF, Craig Mohre, for his passion for enacting positive change in the community.

The Redgraves and Linda and Scott Taylor at the 2019 opening reception for the Jefferson Series. The Oct. 1 event featured former Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Madeleine Albright in a discussion moderated by Fareed Zakaria.

“I’ve always been so impressed with Craig’s dedication to building this great community and his aspirational thinking,” Lynne says. “I don’t think he knows a negative moment. He’s always optimistic and finds a pathway forward, and I love working with people like that.”

It’s a shared admiration. Lynne, Mohre says, goes above and beyond the call of your average community or board member. She participates in strategic planning and collects data so the foundation can make more informed decisions. Mohre says her judgment and input are highly valued.

“Lynne is a pleasure to be around.

She’s always positive and supportive,” says Mohre. “Lynne is smart, strategic and always willing to roll up her sleeves to help grow the foundation.”

Martyn agrees, and says his wife is driven, hardworking and inspires others to support the NACF. “You can ask Craig or Phil Heit or several other leaders,” Martyn says, “Lynne has done as much development work in our community, asking other people to donate money – whether it’s companies or individuals – than any person you can probably find.”

“So, if I call you, please don’t hang up!” Lynne jokes.

Education is the Core

Amongst all their philanthropic work, the Redgraves hold educational programs closest to their hearts, especially since Lynne has a master’s in education.

“I get to say this because she never says this – it’s from Harvard,” Martyn says with a laugh. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Just in New Albany alone, the duo supports the NACF’s Jefferson Series, New Albany Author Residency Program and Remarkable Evening, educational programs at the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany like I Am Thriving, the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts, the sensory-friendly shows by the New Albany Symphony Orchestra, and even school trips to enable students to go abroad.

“We know that getting a good education will allow young kids to have more positive self-esteem and to take on things they might not otherwise consider,” Lynne says.

The couple understands that when a community has a strong educational base, its students, parents and residents thrive.

“When the community and parents make education a priority, the kids begin to believe in its importance,” Lynne says.

“I think funding things like the Homework Help Center (at Columbus Metropolitan Library’s New Albany Branch) – there are kids in our community who don’t have

computers, believe it or not – and making that a priority, it equalizes the playing field and allows students more opportunities to compete. I think in this community, the education system is focused on creating a total person who not only has the knowledge, but knows how to apply that knowledge.”

Appreciation and Aspirations

Lynne and Martyn understand that the New Albany community doesn’t take its abundant opportunities for granted.

Lynne says this humility contributes to the community’s ideals of giving back.

“Nowhere else that we’ve ever lived have we had these opportunities,” Lynne says. “It’s not only opportunities for adults – which is common in many communities – it’s opportunities for adults and the students. … So, when I help people understand that supporting the NACF provides these opportunities that very few people have, people come to understand the importance of continuing these initiatives.”

The couple is thrilled to see some of the NACF efforts come to life, such as the Charleen and Charles Hinson Amphitheater and other projects that are in the works. As for the next 25 years, Lynne and Martyn know the NACF will continue to thrive and help the community flourish. The couple is excited for the completion of Rose Run Park this spring, where they plan to take their grandson to play and enjoy the outdoors.

“It’s all part of making the community a vibrant and great place to live,” Martyn says.

“We’re very fortunate to have an organization in the community that is staying ahead of the trends and providing more and more opportunities for the residents,” Lynne says. “The foundation will continue doing great work far beyond our time.”

S

enioritis. The notorious “disease” that affects students all over the U.S. when they enter their senior year of high school. Symptoms include lack of motivation, laziness and an incredibly strong urge to just drop everything and move on to the next stage of their lives.

However, for New Albany High School seniors, throwing in the towel before graduation day is just not an option.

The NAHS senior seminar project began during the 1993-1994 school year. The course provides students with an opportunity to pursue a large project on a topic or field of interest.

“While changes to the curriculum have occurred throughout the years, the foundation of the project is the same,” says NAHS Principal Ken Kraemer. “It still serves as a capstone project, but has grown to be much more than just a requirement for graduation.”

After picking a topic, students get it approved by a teacher. Students are then required to find a mentor within the New Albany community, document a total of 100 hours of work, write a professional abstract and, fi- Lori Cheney and Karen Morlan have more than 35 years of combined experience with the senior team. nally, present their project at the end of the year in the school auditorium.

Cheney joined the senior team in 1996 to make sure students with disabilities were given the accommodations needed to showcase their talents and strengths. Morlan joined the team about a decade ago because of her interest in the innovative, creative and interdisciplinary learning that seniors experience. The whole senior team is a force to reckon with, and the students prove the importance of this team.

Senior Evan Waite helped develop hardware and software for virtual reality products as part of an internship at Magnopus in Los Angeles. Senior Ellie Zhang completed an engineering internship at The Ohio State University, and senior Evan Bernard participated in a program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and worked on biomedical research with a cardiologist. He was granted future research opportunities for summer 2020, all before his freshman year of college.

The group knows that the senior team is unique and many high schools do not have this resource. Morlan, Cheney and their colleagues never take it for granted though, but do realize that the team is vital to the success of its students.

“Without the senior team, the senior seminar course would cease to exist,” says Morlan. “Seniors know they can talk to their senior seminar advisor about any matter related to college applications, service learning, graduation requirements and future plans.”

“You have to really love seniors in order to work with them in May,” Cheney says jokingly, “so having a sense of humor, and a sense of teamwork is critical to being on the team. We rely on each other’s insight, expertise and dedication to help all students succeed.”

Juggling lesson plans, extracurricular activities and seniors can be overwhelming, but Morlan, Cheney and the team love every moment of guiding and inspiring the next generation.

“I think every teacher should have the opportunity to teach senior seminar in order to enrich their professional lives and experience working closely with other amazing teachers in our building,” Morlan says.

“We do all we can to keep the team together and to include new people who share our philosophy about wanting to be supporters and guides for the seniors,” Cheney adds. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

fter three years of work, the New Albany Police Department earned national accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). Created in 1979, CALEA is a credentialing authority created through the joint efforts of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) and Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) to: • Strengthen crime prevention and control capabilities • Formalize essential management procedures • Establish fair and nondiscriminatory personnel practices • Improve service delivery

The New Albany Police Department teaches students about substance abuse with its D.A.R.E. program.

Solidify interagency cooperation and coordination • Increase community and staff confidence I am humbled by our staff’s work in these past three years to earn accreditation. I especially want to thank Officer Joe Catanese, who oversaw our efforts from the beginning. CALEA accreditation is considered the gold standard for police agencies, certifying the institution of best practices locally to meet a national standard of excellence.

CALEA’s three-year process included a self-assessment step where policies and operations were brought into compliance with CALEA’s proven standards.

45 Languages and Counting

By Brittany Mosley

N

ew Albany is a growing hub of diversity and culture, and its schools are a testament to this fact.

The New Albany-Plain Local School District is a thriving community, and more than 45 different languages are spoken amongst students. Some young learners come to New Albany speaking

22

English and their first language, and others are learning the intricacies of English for the first time. NAPLS is making the transition a breeze – regardless of the student’s level of English – with its English Language Learner (ELL) program.

The program is designed to support students and their families who are learning English in the district, but it goes far beyond learning a new language.

Students can wear traditional garments while sharing crafts, food, dance and song from their culture at the English Langauge Learner Cultural Days Celebrations.

A Helpful Hand

Tim Mack, a middle school teacher and K-12 coordinator for the ELL program, began working with ELL seven years ago when the program had 75 students. Today, it works with 220 students from across the globe. Mack says www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

NAPLS English Language Learner program helps and celebrate multicultural students

A Little Insight •

• •

•

•

The 2019-2020 school year is the second year that Spanish is the most spoken non-English language. Before that, it was Japanese.

80 percent of students in ELL were born in the U.S. The population of ELL students is very concentrated in the primary schools, with more kindergartners than ever before.

One of the program’s goals is for students to be proficient in English by middle or high school.

It takes most students three to seven years to learn English.

“Sometimes I walk in a classroom and I try to pave the way before a student comes in,” Mack says. “I say to myself, ‘Hey, what do you think the No. 1 question a new student is going to have when they come in?’ and it’s, ‘Will I be able to make friends?’ That’s the No. 1 question. So, I tell the students, ‘When you see so-and-so in the cafeteria, make sure you talk to them.’”

Mack and the rest of the ELL staff work hard to support students and their families outside of school as well. They he’s thrilled with the growth of the program and the broadening spectrum of diversity in NAPLS. “The history of New Albany is not too diverse at all, but now I’m really amazed when I walk down the hall and see all the different students,” Mack says. “It’s so diverse, and it’s just rich (with culture).”

During school hours, ELL teachers meet with students to assist with whatever the student may need and enable the students’ success. Karan Karra, a 13-year-old New Albany student, appreciates the efforts of his teachers.

“I get all the help I need at New Albany; they fully support you,” Karra says.

“Every single day that I walk through my classroom doors I always think to myself, ‘You’re going to learn something new today.’”

The ELL services extend beyond the curriculum confines as well, helping students feel welcome in the classroom and have an overall positive educational experience. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

23

The Top 10

While NAPLS students speak 45 languages, the ELL program is responsible for just 29. That means the student body’s diversity transcends the ELL program as a whole. help families assimilate into American culture, connect them with resources like local physicians and provide support in the job market.

“It’s a whole personal thing. You know, you’re not just teaching them, you are helping them with everything,” says Mack.

Despite the challenges that come with learning a new language, many students are hungry for more. Inspired by the ELL program and motivated to do more, some students learn additional content in their free time, too. Mack says one student speaks Spanish as her first language, knowns English and is currently learning French and Japanese.

Celebrating All

NAPLS staff works hard to highlight and celebrate the diversity that is enriching its schools, especially with its Cultural Day Celebrations. A few times a year, the district invites the ELL families to bring their food, dress, dance and crafts to an exciting night that showcases cultures and builds connections between multicultural groups. Some nights bring together more than 100 people.

Administration is considering opening up the celebrations to everyone, giving non-ELL students the opportunity to learn www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

about their classmates’ roots. Moving forward, the district also hopes to create a cultural walkthrough to make the students and their families more culturally aware.

“It is fun knowing that there are other students in this school that know the language that I speak,” says Karra, referring to his first language, Punjabi. “It is also fun talking to people and interacting with them in our language.”

Mack agrees that having a multicultural environment is vital to the strengthening of the community.

“The more culturally diverse you get, the more open-minded people get, and the more bridges that are built instead of walls,” Mack says.

As ELL continues to grow and the district’s cultural awareness grows with it, the students and community will become more interconnected – both with each other and the rest of the world.

Extending a Helping Hand CSG Wellness program works to provide resources for central Ohio

By Lydia Freudenberg

hen Jennifer Ciccarelli, head of school at Columbus School for Girls, worked on the East Coast at all girls’ schools, she discovered something rather disturbing: perfectionism and anxiety were crippling students. After coming to Ohio, Ciccarelli observed that while Midwestern students weren’t struggling in those same ways, it was only a matter of time before they too felt the negative effects of pressure.

Instead of waiting for the epidemic to hit, Ciccarelli took proactive steps

and added social and emotional wellbeing to the longstanding CSG Wellness program.

Within the last several years, CSG has welcomed powerful female programs like Ruling Our eXperiences, or ROX; and Big/Little Sis; along with the Columbus-based Youth Yoga Project that provides yoga and wellness resources to students. Additional aspects include stress management and individual counseling to help students of all ages reach their highest potential.

“We want our girls to be great self-advocates and understand how they can be healthy their entire lives,”

says Ciccarelli. “That’s why we start really young, and throughout their school years, we help our students navigate what good stress feels like, what bad stress feels like, how their brain and body interact with each other.”

Erin Solomon, a CSG senior, says the Wellness program helps her in and outside of the classroom.

“We should be able to enjoy our lives while still succeeding in school, so it’s important to make sure we leave room in our schedule for wellness and find a way to manage stress,” she says.

Ciccarelli says one of the reasons the program is so successful is because

and our families is just a highlight of this program, and has helped make it so successful,” Ciccarelli says. “We are always a work in progress, and I think we can always get better at this work.”

Lydia Freudenberg is an editor. Feedback welcome at lfreudenberg@ cityscenemediagroup.com.

CSG listens to and values feedback from its students.

“They know they are listened to, they know their ideas matter, and they’re taking some form of ownership with their own education and how they manage their lives,” she says.

Wellness for All

For the past couple of years, the Wellness program has reached new heights by going beyond the classroom – and it’s not slowing down any time soon.

Ciccarelli says teachers and staff take time out of their work day to discuss mindfulness habits. At one conference, faculty picked from activities such as jogging, pottery and yoga to focus on team building and personal wellness.

Instead of a paralyzing epidemic, CSG is witnessing the positive effects of addressing wellness. The students’ parents have also taken an interest in learning more and can also attend the CSG speaker events. Dr. Lisa Damour, author of Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls, recently visited the school to discuss her expertise.

“Just as we, faculty and staff at CSG, are seeking to model good behavior to our students, we are also educating our parents right alongside,” Ciccarelli says.

This spring, CSG plans on opening its wellness resources – like the speaker series and programs available in the evenings, weekends and summers – to the central Ohio community.

“The degree to which we work so closely in partnership with our students www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

I am Engaged.

When partnering with Marburn Academy, learning differently suddenly takes on new meaning. Gone are the days of stressing about your child’s future. Instead, you can look forward to your child learning the tools, resources, and life skills necessary to go forth in the world as a person who is engaged, resilient, compassionate, a self-advocate, and e powered.

community foundation series

t is difficult to picture New Albany without the many amenities residents and visitors enjoy today. Twenty-five years ago, the New Albany we know now was just getting started; and much of what makes it one of America’s top commu-

schools and the community was more important.

“We went to the Columbus Metropolitan Library and partnered with them to have the public library set up in the New Albany school system. The metropolitan library brought the books out, and the New Albany schools then had a full library,” says Kessler.

This meant that during the day it was the library for the school and students, and at night and on the weekends, it was the library for the residents of New Albany.

This arrangement was only temporary of course, and, through the fledgling foundation, building a library that could be a centerpiece of life in New Albany became the focus. Library trustees and New Albany residents Cindy Hilsheimer, Charlotte Kessler and Jackie Woods led the campaign with the Foundation, and to help achieve their goal, they brought two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author David McCullough to New Albany for what became the first Remarkable Evening. The event with McCullough raised more than $1 million to fund the book collections, and build and endow what is now the Charlotte P. Kessler Library.

As he read from his recent biography about John Adams and told inspiring stories to the audience, McCullough had this to say about New Albany’s new initiative: “And the very idea that your New Albany Foundation’s first undertaking is a library ... when the city of little town of Nantucket burned down in the 19th century, the first building they built out of the ashes, literally, was the old Athenewww.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

um, the public library, which still stands.

And you can be sure your public library is going to have just as much symbolic importance to this community, this extraordinary community.”

Kessler attributes the success and staying power of the foundation to the residents’ commitment to their community and to strong leadership.

“I think it shows that the people who live in New Albany are generous and they care a lot about their community,” he says. “You can’t have anything like the foundation be successful without great leadership, both from the board and the staff. Craig Mohre has been a very effective CEO. He’s just done a fabulous job.”

Kessler approached Mohre back in 2002 about helping draft a plan to move the foundation forward, and then suggested Mohre lead the foundation. It was an easy decision for Mohre.

“How does one say no to the opportunity to help bring so many leaders together to help build such an incredible community?” Kessler says.

For 25 years, the citizens of New Albany have been answering the call to create a collaborative culture that has placed New Albany on the path to build and sustain an extraordinary community that residents enjoy today.

When you give to The New Albany Community Foundation, you give to the greater good.

There are chapters in the history of every community that define its future. Here, in New Albany, at Remarkable Evening 2019, we recently completed a chapter that promises to add to our legacy of generosity. We celebrated the vision that is making Rose Run Park, Raines Crossing and the Charleen & Charles Hinson Amphitheater a reality. We celebrated the potential of our young people. And we celebrated the commitment to service displayed by our friends and neighbors. But most of all, we celebrated how fortunate we are, and how remarkable it is, to call New Albany home.

When you donate through the Foundation, gifts of any size, large and small, generate impact in so many ways. Over the years, grants have been made to support a wide range of initiatives. Including the establishment of an author residency program at New Albany Schools, a community well-being program, the New Albany Symphony Orchestra, Veterans Field, scholarships, Safety Town and so much more. If you’ve given, we thank you. And if you are yet to make a gift, we invite you to join us.

A Fresh Take on School Lunches Gone are the days of PB&Js and sloppy joes at NAPLS

C

an you remember what your school lunch tray looked like? You probably recall something less than healthful: square pizza, frozen veggies, and your only drink choice was likely white or chocolate milk. Things have certainly changed.

New Albany High School gives its students the ability to control their cafeteria lunches, right down to what kind of pizza they prefer. A student advisory council meets quarterly with Superintendent Michael Sawyers and has a taste testing session, where the group can customize the cafeteria’s menu.

Food Service Coordinator Carol Hamilton is responsible for all the delicious options at the school. She thinks students should be trusted to make choices and take responsibility for their selections and nutrition.

“I just think as long as you allow them to have a voice, they’ll keep coming back,” she says.

Hamilton has been in the nutrition industry for 28 years, but started at New Albany High School in May 2018. Since then, she has implemented a special program called Ohio Days. On these days, the cafeteria menu is entirely made up of foods sourced from Ohio, down to the milk and the bread.

“I’m a country girl myself, so I think it’s important to support local groups,” Hamilton says. “The more local it is, the fresher it is.”

She works with the Franklin County Board of Health to design the Ohio Days menu, and sits on a committee to make sure everything meets the school’s standards. Hamilton uses places such as Whitebarn Organics and Lynd Fruit Farm, offering students endless fruits and vegetables.

“What I’m really impressed with,” Hamilton says, “is that New Albany High School doesn’t restrict the amount of fruit and veggies students can get at lunch. They are charged the same price, no matter how much they want.”

36

www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Know What’s in the Lunch After parent and guardian feedback, the food services for New Albany-Plain Local Schools launched a new website to kick off the 2019-2020 school year.

The site provides nutritional information, links to assist with payment and additional resources, such as its Build a Meal and Allergen filters to help students choose the perfect lunch.

And for those who apply for assistance, the site also includes the free and reduced lunch online application.

Check out the site via the mobile app My School Menus.

For more information, visit newalbany.healtheliving.net.

And with options like fresh spinach, peas, onions and peppers, it’s not hard to imagine how stacked students’ trays get.

With a total of 2,900 lunches served a day in grades seven through 12, it’s impressive that Hamilton finds the time to make sure student input is taken into account. The most important thing, she says, is to offer students a diversity of choices and give them the freedom to decide.

While we may drool over the school’s fresh omelet days or the customizable mac and cheese bar, thinking back on our own comparatively pitiful school lunches, Hamilton sympathizes with our jealousy.

“Trust me, I know,” she says, laughing. “In my lunches (as a kid), I got something that was called ‘pizza-like’ – not exactly pizza.”

Hamilton is looking forward to switching up the menus, giving more options and organizing more Ohio Days.

ew Albany High School Senior Lindsey Neff could talk about running for hours – and that’s not an exaggeration. For her senior seminar project, she decided to do just that.

NAHS developed the program to give students varied, authentic educational opportunities. Neff sees the course as the opportunity to combine her love for cross-country running while also learning about the art of podcasting.

“Running is my favorite thing to talk about, so it seemed like the right option for me to have a conversational setting to talk about my favorite sport,” Neff says.

“I’ve grown a lot through (cross-country) and I figured out that self-improvement through running is really enjoyable. I wanted to share that with other people.”

With no prior experience, Neff ran headfirst into the project, researching editing platforms and creating outlines for each episode. She admits that she faced a lot of challenges at first, but allowing herself to change her perspective really helped.

“At first, I was dead set that I had to do interviews because all the podcasts I like to listen to are interwww.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Fact vs. Fiction

Know the pros and cons as CBD products rise in popularity

I

n December 2018, U.S. Congress passed what is known as the 2018 Farm Bill, which formally legalizes hemp and takes it off the class-one schedule of drugs.

Hemp comes from the same family as marijuana, but they differ in their chemical makeup and how the plant is cultivated.

After its legalizing, hemp-based CBD, or cannabidiol, products starting popping up everywhere. From creams and oils to gummy bears and teas, CBD products claim to help with conditions like arthritis, epilepsy, anxiety and more.

But what is the science behind CBD? And the biggest question: is it safe?

40

Defining the Difference

“When hemp is grown, it has high levels of CBD. The plant is picked, dried, extracted and then purified,” says Max Maksimoski, director of research and development for Green Growth Brands.

“It comes in several different types, but the most important difference is that CBD is not psychoactive.”

THC is the natural ingredient in marijuana and is the reason you experience a high. CBD is often confused with marijuana, but it does not affect the brain – even though some products can have a very low concentration of THC – and works to regulate the endocannabinoid system.

“The first thing I tell people when they are apprehensive is that it is not marijuana, it isn’t addictive and it is certainly not psychoactive,” Maksimoski says.

Maksimoski explains how CBD is a possible way to eliminate pain naturally.

“If you have a radio, and there is static in that, you want to get rid of that static. In your body, when you have static, it is in the neurotransmitters and nerves and equates to pain,” Maksimoski says. “When things aren’t right, CBD helps get rid of that static and smooth out that pain. It helps your body function more effectively.”

www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Hearing Both Sides

According to Maksimoski, there have been claims about CBD being a miracle cure, ridding people of cancers and even Alzheimer’s disease, but notes most have not been scientifically proven.

“To the greatest extent, they’ve been unproven,” Maksimoski says. “The only comprehensive clinical study was to look at CBD and its effects in treating childhood epilepsy.”

Within the last couple of months though, the FDA announced that CBD could cause injuries to the liver, negative side effects if mixed with other medicine, gastrointestinal problems, and changes in your mood and alertness.

Dr. Harrison Weed, a physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and the chair of the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, confirms these side effects.

“Because it is metabolized in the liver, CBD can potentiate the effects of medications that are also metabolized in the liver,” he says. “For example, warfarin (Coumadin), cilostazol (Pletal) and citalopram (Celexa) are all potentiated by CBD. Therefore, people who take medications should talk with their doctors about possible effects of CBD.” But just like people take Advil to help with headaches, CBD can be that extra boost to help with pain.

“Everybody’s body is a little different and pain management is a huge function,” Maksimoski says. “Aside from pain management, it may also be used as an anti-inflammatory and for some people can even help relieve anxiety and depression.”

As for Weed, he notes that since the short-term and long-term effects of CBD are unknown, he wouldn’t classify it as safer than other pain medication.

“At least with other pain medication we have more information on the potential adverse effects,” he says.

In some cases, CBD is safe for children, especially in mitigating symptoms of epilepsy and seizure disorders, Maksimoski notes. There have also been cases in which it was useful in dealing with dry skin and eczema.

“If I was able to give it to my child, I would focus on the topical products available because they have a lower dosage and you can put it at the place it is bothering them,” Maksimoski says. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

On the other hand, Weed notes a recent incident where an 8-year-old boy with a seizure disorder had a dramatic increase in seizures after taking a CBD oil product that contained a synthetic cannabinoid known to cause seizures.

“When you take commercially available CBD it can be difficult to know if you are unintentionally taking other drugs, and to know how much CBD you are actually taking, if any,” Weed says.

Being Proactive

With the recent legalization of hemp and CBD, the FDA and USDA are still working on producing medical studies.

In the meantime, industry leaders need to be careful and not report unrealistic claims to the consumer.

“The biggest thing is going to be the medical community latching on to it, doing the studies to really figure out the proper dosages and proper conditions,” Maksimoski says.

Weed notes that in a recent test on popular commercially available products, 40 percent contained less than one-fifth of the amount of CBD claimed, and some also contained high levels of solvents and dangerous gases. He says some experts recommend using CBD products that are certified as organic by the USDA, been tested for pesticides and herbicides, and meet Current Good Manufacturing Practices by the FDA. Weed says since the U.S. is new to CBD, European products may suit your fancy.

“Europe has a more established regulatory system for these products and European CBD products have a lower allowed concentration for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – 0.2 percent in Europe versus 0.3 percent in the U.S.,” he says.

As for Maksimoski, he’s all on board and already uses CBD products proactively.

“As you get used to it, get to an edible, it is a preventative,” Maksimoski says. “I personally take a pinch of one every morning. I don’t want to experience pain throughout the day, and if it’s in my body, it will be able to better combat that. It is the best way for overall personal health.”

Finding Your Calm Urban Zen is growing in New Albany thanks to Healthy New Albany, Lori Bower and other leaders

Lori Bower, director of integrative wellness at Healthy New Albany.

verwhelmed, overstressed, overcommitted. In our fastpaced lives, littered with neverending to do lists, cajoled by constant texts and nagging emails, we may find it difficult to slow down, breathe, relax and enjoy the moment.

Our culture promotes packed schedules – we wear our busy lives like badges of achievement. It’s no wonder so many of us struggle to find meaning in this mayhem. We desperately want to tune out the noise and chaos, but we aren’t sure how. Sound familiar?

If you’re looking for something to help you slow down, pause and regain your center, integrative wellness practices may provide this opportunity. Integrative wellness focuses on whole-person health: physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect well-being.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), the federal agency for scientific research on the usefulness and safety of integrative health practices, defines integrative health as holistic and patient-focused; the marriage of conventional and complementary approaches aimed at treating the whole person.

There is growing evidence to support the many benefits of integrative wellness therapies and mind-body practices such as yoga and meditation, acupuncture, tai chi, breathing techniques, reiki, reflexology, and others.

As the use of integrative wellness practices expands to the mainstream, research is being conducted to examine and document the efficacy of such practices. For example, NCCIH researchers are currently studying the benefits of yoga and tai chi to relieve symptoms in cancer patients and survivors. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

The Mayo Clinic credits yoga as a means to reduce stress and lower blood pressure, as well as a way to manage and alleviate chronic conditions such as depression, pain, anxiety and insomnia.

The National Institutes of Health documents extensive evidence suggesting meditation may reduce blood pressure and ease symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia, as well as manage symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and flare-ups in people who have had ulcerative colitis.

Recognizing the many benefits of integrative wellness practices, and as part of its mission of creating a culture of health, Healthy New Albany is developing comprehensive wellness initiatives that support total health and well-being.

Recently accredited by Yoga Alliance, the HNA School of Yoga and Integrative Wellness – which is led by Lori Bower, director of integrative wellness at Healthy New Albany – provides comprehensive educational programs to people of all ages for a holistic approach to health and healing. Urban Zen Integrative Therapy is an integral part of the wellness program.

With mentorship from Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee, two of the most revered international yoga teachers, and under Bower’s leadership, Urban Zen combines Eastern healing techniques with Western medicine and is centered on five core healing modalities including yoga, reiki, essential oil therapy, nutrition and contemplative care.

In October 2019, Healthy New Albany hosted its first Urban Zen Integrative Therapy Level 1 Training. Students participated in a week-long course that provided a complete set of tools to modulate and alleviate stress, discomfort, anxiety and exhaustion. Having completed this training, students will advance to Urban Zen Level 2 training where they become certified as Urban Zen integrative therapists.

The integrative programs offered at Healthy New Albany is changing lives.

Participation in the I Am Thriving program, an eight-week experience to empower cancer survivors, has demonstrated firsthand the healing benefits of yoga, meditation and Urban Zen. There, cancer survivors come together to share and learn about living healthy, flourishing lives after cancer. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

A recent wellness retreat hosted by Healthy New Albany offered Urban Zen and other mindful practices.

Evey Moore, a member of the I Am Thriving program, recounts her intimate story of being broken in mind, body and spirit. She says she learned about Healthy New Albany from a friend, and calls the recommendation a miracle.

Moore says her life was forever changed after an integrative wellness retreat.

“After a year of pain and fear, it was the perfect day to reflect on the fact that I was still here,” she says. “Lori changed my entire life and I realized, if I could take one day for myself, why couldn’t I take more?”

Moore continued taking weekly integrative classes and slowly began to heal.

“I learned to appreciate every day,” she says. “I learned to journal, pray and meditate. I learned about yoga and, most importantly, I found joy, peace and happiness. I became empowered. I learned to appreciate my body. I learned that I was worthy and that I was enough.

I learned to live.”

The New Albany Food Pantry, a part of Healthy New Albany, has also offered integrative practices to shoppers at the pantry. A team of experienced reiki practitioners visited the pantry and offered reiki to pantry clients who wanted to pause for a moment after gathering their groceries. The clients were open and receptive to the practice and reported feeling calmer and appreciative of the opportunity.

schield says she is a calmer, happier and better person because she learned that in order to take care of others, she must first take care of herself.

Another student shares her experience of being diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and how she discovered the integrative practices at Healthy New Albany thanks to a friend’s recommendation. With deep appreciation, she shares that the classes help her find balance, relax more, and teach her to focus on self-care.

As part of your individual journey to wellness, Healthy New Albany welcomes you to experience some of the integrative wellness offerings in 2020. Here’s to a year filled with fewer texts, more breaths and an abundance of happiness! forms others’ futures.
