The Spirit of Wellness Thrives Here

I

’ve got the spirit. Perhaps I might be in my zone, peering into one of my two computer screens perched atop my desk, or on a five-mile workout, mesmerized by upbeat music emanating from my iPhone’s Pandora app that transcends the millions of neurons embedded in my cerebrum. The upbeat rhythms help distract me from the exhaustion I am experiencing at the moment. Regardless of my physical or mental state of mind, I always carry my ambassador ID that is invisible to others, yet omnipresent. Stop me while I’m in my office working on a project or walking around New Albany’s scenic trails and I will share my enthusiasm about the many health happenings taking place in our community.

Like any ambassador, I am a cheerleader. I’ve got the spirit. I want everyone to be as upbeat as I am about the many ways that health initiatives born out of Healthy New Albany are impacting our community.

In this issue, our special theme of spirit is emphasized. We explore how student spirit helps make our community a better place for all. Spirit helps to create a community that is vibrant and healthy.

At Healthy New Albany, we have spirit and we help elevate the spirit of others. We do this in myriad ways. We engage our community through numerous educational offerings for people of all ages. We bring people together at our farmers market, where smiles and great conversations take place. Our programs for kids, such as cooking classes and our Halloween Trick, It’s a Treat event, promote happiness. The many offerings in our Integrative Wellness programs such as Urban Zen, yoga, group acupuncture and our women’s cancer retreats promote a spirit of inner peace and healing.

Our offerings – almost all of which are free or have a minimal charge – are available to everyone and no membership is required. The spirit of wellness thrives here.

At Healthy New Albany, we promote wellness that transcends from the individual and permeates throughout the community. We are an integral part of the spirit of New Albany.

Healthfully,

Phil Heit, Executive Editor

Changing Perspective Dr. Sanjay Gupta to bring worldly view to the Jefferson Series stage 12

I

n August 2001, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent for CNN, was making the move to Atlanta, Georgia, to begin working at the Emory Medical Center as a neurosurgeon. Though his day job remains in the medical field, he’s also picked up a secondary title of journalist.

Gupta, who had written for publications such as Time Magazine and The Economist and worked in domestic policy concerning health care with the White House in 1997 and 1998, happened to cross paths with CNN employees at an airport. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

me if I wanted to cover the attacks, so it just grew from there.”

Coming to New Albany

Gupta is no stranger to the Midwest.

He is a proud alumnus of the University of Michigan, where he received both his bachelor’s and medical degree. New Albany residents and visitors will get the chance to hear Gupta’s story in his own words when the New Albany Community Foundation brings him to the Jeffer-

son Series on Sept. 13 at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts.

“You don’t see a lot of opportunities for smart adult-continuing education,” Gupta says. “It’s a great thing for adults

“It was a little serendipitous and unexpected in a way,” Gupta says. “They told me they wanted to start building a medical unit and cover more news surrounding it.”

Roughly three and a half weeks later, the attacks on the World Trade Centers would take place in New York City, putting a halt to any new projects at CNN. “They basically looked at me and said, ‘Hey, you are a doctor working at an international news network. We probably won’t be doing any health care policy stories for a while,’” Gupta says.

“I was always interested in how medical people took care of each other in conflict zones around the world and they asked www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Dr. Sanjay Gupta treated victims of the infamous 7.0-magnitude earthquake in Haiti in 2010.

to come together to share ideas and talk to people who have a lot of value to add to the conversation.”

The intersection of journalism and medicine creates an interesting dynamic in Gupta’s life. While he is still a neurosurgeon first and foremost, his work with CNN has allowed him to gain a different perspective into how health and wellness are depicted throughout the world.

“I feel that there is this interesting inflection between medicine and media, which is the world I live in,” Gupta says.

“I will focus on how certain stories get presented, why certain ones are chosen, giving behind-the-scenes stories of what happens with bigger events we cover.”

A Global Traveler

CNN and Gupta have worked together since 2001 and he has covered virtually every major conflict and natural disaster for the past 17 years.

“I think that when you start covering stories, especially overseas, health

You are more in control than you think…

“We know that roughly 75 percent of chronic disease in this country is self-inflicted due to lifestyle choices, especially with people having access to a lot of food and calories very cheaply and quickly,” Gupta says. becomes the common denominator,” Gupta says. “The greatest impact on me is making these global stories very intimate and important to people.”

Americans spend about a billion dollars a day on heart disease, and it is the No. 1 killer of Americans. Considering the increasingly easy access to clean water and health care in the U.S., this is staggering, especially when these

issues are relatively non-existent in other countries – even underdeveloped ones.

“There is a basic disconnect in this whole co-mingling of wealth and health,” Gupta says. “People equate being in a rich country is going to automatically lead to better health for its citizens. And there is a component of truth to that, to a point.”

Disconnection

Last year, Gupta found himself looking into places around the world where heart disease did not exist. He spent time with a tribe in the Amazon rainforest to learn more about tribe members’ daily lives. The tribe has been left untouched from industrialization and agriculturalization – the most mechanized item there was a pulley it used for the water well.

“There was little to no evidence of dementia, heart disease or diabetes,” Gupta says. “Sure, their diets and levels of activities are going to be different, but it is not as intuitive as people would

with Rocco Falleti

Dr. Sanjay Gupta shares his wellness habits Are there any foods you try to avoid or emphasize?

After keeping a food journal, I found one of the foods that I emphasized a lot more was foods that were fermented because I felt a lot better after eating them. Added sugar is something that I avoid. Our human bodies have not evolved to deal with and metabolize those types of added sugars. We got sugar from fruits, trees – even honey was protected by the bees. I try and eat how humans evolved to eat.

What are your favorite ways to stay active?

I have to set goals, I am a triathlete. I feel that I have the same hang ups of everyone else. I will be quick to skip something if I have an excuse. I need to hold myself accountable with a goal like a race coming up.

What do you like to do to relax?

I spend a lot of time with friends, some of which I’ve known since childhood. I find it really relaxing to spend time with people who know me very well. I’ve been practicing mindful meditation for the past decade or so. Last year, I actually took some time to meditate with the Dalai Lama. But for me, it’s making plans with family and friends and having something to look forward to.

14

How do you balance work life and family time?

I no longer think of these as two separate things, everyone talks about the work life balance, I find that for me, it is a little artificial way of looking at things. My kids, wife and extended family, they are all very interesting people and they are interested in the work I do. I often include them in things I am working on; my daughters will come to work with me, go on trips with me. … When I get back, my kids want to know about the project. We broke down the wall between work and life.

When traveling, how do you find time to stay healthy and deal with the stresses of the road?

It comes down to a few basic rules. Doing brain surgeries can be far more stressful than anything in the TV world, and that gives me good perspective. In regard to health, you want to be active as you can. … For me, 75 to 80 percent of it comes down to diet when I am on the road. People stop following their rules when they are on the road, they figure it is a social event, you are allowed to do that from time to time.

I stick to my diets when I am on the road, and if I do that, I’ll stay pretty healthy, even if I don’t get my work outs in. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

says. “We do this to not get infections and to stay super hygienic and clean.

But it could be that our bodies evolved to have this constant interplay with parasites, bacteria and pathogens.”

A Balancing Act

Following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers, Gupta was thrust in front of the camera to not just cover health care policy but tragedy, natural disasters and conflict worldwide.

think. I believe there are some important lessons in that.”

People today do not interact with the environment the way we used to as human beings, Gupta says. Times have

changed, resources and medicine have gotten immensely better, but there may be a negative to these improvements.

“Ironically, we live in these very selfimposed and sterilized bubbles,” Gupta

The seemingly chaotic nature of Gupta’s life, which is split between the operating room and working in the field with CNN, is something of a marvel. When he’s not at work with CNN, he spends at least a day or two each week in the operating room and consulting with patients.

Most doctors’ – especially neurosurgeons’ – schedules are hectic enough.

But Gupta has found a balance between what are typically two full-time positions.

“I still think of neurosurgery as my day job and, as a doctor, your impact is very direct,” Gupta says. “I get to see patients with all types of problems. I’ve been doing it for a long time and still get tremendous satisfaction from that work.”

Do You Believe in Miracles?

The Miracle League of New Albany winds up for the first pitch The crack of a bat. The heat of the summer sun. The crunch of peanut shells underfoot. Baseball is the great American pastime, but for many New Albany residents with disabilities, baseball means sitting in the bleachers.

Thanks to a dedicated local group, that’s about to change.

Kevin Klingele, chief of orthopedics at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, was introduced to Miracle League in summer 2016 when some of his patients invited him to a game. He didn’t know it at the 16

time but these patients, who he’d been seeing since their infancy and who are now preteens, would inspire Klingele beyond imagination.

“It becomes somewhat of a lifechanging experience when you watch these kids and the smiles on their faces when they run the bases,” says Klingele.

“It becomes an escape where they get away from doctor’s visits and therapy visits – all the things that come with being outside and playing baseball.”

Klingele learned that both Dublin and Grove City have their own Miracle

GET NOTICED. A Miraculous History

Miracle League, an organization founded in Georgia in 1999, aims to give children with disabilities the opportunity to play baseball. The rules are simple and inclusive; each athlete bats and scores a run every inning, and both teams win. Volunteers, or Buddies, assist the athletes on the diamond. Beyond that, it’s baseball as usual. Today, more than 300 Miracle Leagues exist, extending across the country and even into Australia.

Leagues, but not New Albany. Surprising to no one, when Klingele began to float the idea of bringing a league to New Albany, he was wholly embraced.

“There has been huge support. It’s a perfect fit for our community,” says Klingele. “With the emphasis New Albany has on fitness, we’re making sure everybody’s involved in that initiative.”

The Big Leagues

With the need realized and through the encouragement of friends, family and neighbors, Klingele hit the ground running. The original hope was to construct a new baseball diamond for the league in Bevelhymer Park, but logistics got in the way. Instead, the City of New Albany and the New Albany Company rented the land near the Plain Township Aquatic Center – with the price tag of $1 per year – to the Miracle League of New Albany.

In order to break ground and build what the board envisioned, fundraising began. Since then, around $260,000 has been raised by community members. The board doesn’t just want any baseball diamond, however. It wants a www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

The Miracle League of New Albany operates under the philosophy that “every child deserves a chance to play baseball.” And, being in New Albany, those athletes deserve a beautiful facility that matches its city.

state-of-the-art Miracle League field fit for central Ohio’s athletes.

“We’ve had tremendous support of friends and family and just the community,” says Klingele. “This is going to be the best baseball field in central Ohio.

This will serve communities all around – it won’t just be New Albany.”

Board members hoped to see the first Miracle League pitch thrown this fall,

but fundraising continues. The board hopes to double what has already been donated before ground is broken – and in New Albany, that’s a matter of when; not if.

“We have an anonymous donor that is willing to match the next $100,000 raised. If we got that, we would be close to shovel-ready. That’s our next big push,” says Klingele. “We’re looking for corporate support. If that happens,

we’re optimistic we can have that first pitch in spring or summer.”

Klingele hopes to have around 10 teams with 10-15 athletes per team during the first season, but expects the league to grow tremendously after that.

A father of four Miracle League Buddies, Klingele anticipates the Miracle League will help more than just the athletes.

“The effect these games have on the so-called Buddies, and the effect they have on the relationships they form with these kids, is just as important,” he says. “The effect on the community and the awareness (Miracle League) brings – the togetherness of the community – can’t be overstated.”

For now, Miracle League athletes who live in New Albany are required to participate in other communities’ leagues. In turn, the New Albany league will attract children from surrounding areas.

Klingele and his board’s hopes don’t just stop at one Miracle League field, however. The lot near the Plain Township Aquatic Center is quite large, and Klingele wants to fill the whole thing.

“My dream would be to create an all-access campus for other sports; not just baseball. That’s the ultimate goal,” he says. “Then we can expand to the adult population.”

With the initial deadline goal in the rearview mirror, Klingele says it can be frustrating to see plans moving slowly despite the huge community effort and passion. However, with a noble objective, it’s not easy to stay dejected too long. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Miracle League accommodates for all athletes to get involved. Whether the athlete needs extra help rounding the bases or swinging a bat, Miracle League ensures an inclusive ballgame.

“You can’t imagine what this is until you’ve actually experienced it in person.

Then, once you do, you realize it’s more than just a baseball field sitting there,” says Klingele. “It’s a lot more than that.

That’s by far the best part, … seeing the kids cross home plate.”

Rose Run: Our Central Park, Gateway and Community Gathering Place

N

ew Albany resident Andrea Wiltrout gushes when she talks about The Middle, her neighborhood’s gathering place in Brooksview Circle. The Middle includes a swing set and community space for egg hunts and watching fireworks together. Kids have a sense of independence while parents take turns watching over them. It is a major reason why Andrea can’t imagine living anywhere else.

Now, along with The Middle, Wiltrout is excited to have Rose Run Park in the heart of town by late 2019.

“Many of the same facets about The Middle will apply to Rose Run,” said Wiltrout. “My kids will have a fun place to play right down the street from our house and across the street from their 20

school and it will be a gathering place for the whole community. They will be able to debrief their day and just be kids there, and it will also be a great place to play before or after we go to Market Square for a snack or family dinner.”

A Central Park in the Heart of New Albany As far back as the 2003 Rose Run Greenway Corridor Study, there has been a desire to make the Rose Run Corridor; which is bordered by Dublin Granville Road to the north, Main Street to the east and Market Street to the west; “the physical, visual and emotional heart of the community.” When complete, this corridor will intuitively connect the

school learning campus and Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts with the library, Market Square and the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany. It will also preserve green space in the heart of New Albany, create a civic green for events and spur private development desired by residents by attracting more foot traffic to the area.

Dublin Granville Improvements for Child Safety Traffic lanes will be narrowed to reduce speeds and feature crosswalks, creating a safer environment for children around the school campus. Improvements include a protected bike lane and a sidewalk dedicated to pedestrians. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Better lives

ONE story at a time.

“Loading old fence into my truck, I shattered my shoulder socket and suffered a hill sacs fracture. I knew I had to get back to taking care of the children, taking care of our land and getting back to my career in law enforcement. I had 100 percent faith that Orthopedic ONE would take care of me. It may sound crazy but I’m actually thankful this happened. My life has not only returned, but my quality of life is better. “ - Michael Myers, husband, father and Deputy Sheriff

Visit orthopedicONE.com for all of Michael’s story.

This is where you go to get better.

Rose Run Pedestrian Bridge and Promenade

The changes to the Rose Run corridor will make New Albany a safer and more accessible place to cycle, walk and play. The plan will include cycling and walking paths, children’s play areas, focal points, and pedestrian-friendly passageways between New Albany’s landmarks.

This feature will provide an attractive and safe pedestrian pathway across the stream bed from the school learning campus to the library and Market Square.

Wooded Glen & Rose Run Trail Stream restoration and new plantings will create a natural play area for children to explore under the pedestrian bridge. Kid-friendly focal points will add an element of fun and recreation, including a leisure trail that leads to different amenities.

door library activities, picnics and small concerts. A walk lined with birch trees will connect the library garden to the natural creek area.

Bike Hub The popularity of cycling among residents led to the addition of a bike hub/fix-it station.

This feature, located east of the promenade, will allow cyclists to make repairs, inflate tires, fill water bottles and simply take a break.

New Community Gathering Hub North of Dublin Granville Road, a terraced wall of limestone and grass will provide casual seating. To the south, a large plaza with granite pavers will increase the seating area. For larger events, planners envision closing the road to create additional capacity.

“There is already a community buzz about this project, and there will be a little pain along the way with stretches of Dublin Granville

Rose Run will be a hub of both activity and relaxation. Stop along the terrace to the north of Dublin Granville Road for a picnic, or just to take in the view.

Road being closed during the school year, but we ask that people bear with the construction because the final product is going to be fantastic!” said Mayor Sloan Spalding.

Walk.

n 1939, NBC televised the first-ever sporting event – a college basketball game between the Columbia University Lions and Princeton University Tigers. It was the beginning of a new era.

Today, a vast variety of sports are broadcasted live on both national and local levels, which not only allows more people to experience the activity but also promotes and possibly increases its popular-

24

www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

For the first time ever, the Walking Classic will be broadcasted live ity. With the rising interest in walking for exercise and sport, it makes sense that the 2018 New Albany Walking Classic is getting camera-ready.

For the first time ever, the Walk has teamed up with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to broadcast the race live on local channel 10, WBNS-10TV. A great way to ring in the 14th Walk on Sept. 9, the televised event will follow the Walk from 8-9 a.m.

“The Walk is exciting because some of these people are really, really fast. In fact, faster than runners,” says Philip Heit, director and founder of the Healthy New Albany Inc., which puts on the Walk each year. “Sporting events are exciting, and this will be an opportunity to hear people interviewed, to show the city of New Albany and, specifically, the walking course. We don’t want it to be boring.”

With broadcasting a live event comes a lot of equipment, but participants need not worry. After careful coordination, Heit reassures it will not disrupt the more than 2,500 walkers on the new USA Track & Field-certified 10K course, which starts and ends in Market Square.

Taking the Walk to live television has always been a personal dream for Heit.

He says it not only gives central Ohioans an opportunity to enjoy the Walk from home, but is also an opportunity to showcase how serious a sport walking can be.

“We want walking to be considered on the same level as running,” Heit says. “Some of the big running races in the United States, like the New York City Marathon, are on TV live. Well, why not do it for walking, too? We’re not on a national spotlight like New York, but for the status of walking I thought it would give the sport credibility. …

And I think (broadcasting it live) will add, to what is already a prestigious event, more prestige.”

Heit says going live can also help showcase the dedicated efforts of Healthy New Albany Inc., and that 100 percent of the money raised at the Walk goes toward community health programming at the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

A Helping Hand

Walking Classic volunteer administrator speaks about the health benefits of volunteering Who would have thought doing physical labor could help lower stress, lessen symptoms of depression and increase overall health? It may sound backward, but volunteering can do just that.

With the Walk upon us, hundreds of students, residents and fans of the event are gearing up to help everything run – or, perhaps, walk – smoothly.

But volunteering is much more than a helping hand; studies suggest there are mental and physical benefits associated with the giving back.

“I agree with the studies that say volunteering has health benefits,” says Marianne Troutman, volunteer coordinator for the Walk. “People who donate their time feel more socially connected and it gives them a sense of purpose and fulfillment, which can decrease stress and depression.”

In a recent study conducted at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, scientists collected data from 40 different studies over a 20-year period, and found a link between volunteering and decreased levels of depression. Volunteering provides social connections, can increase self-esteem and change life perspectives.

It’s not just mental health that can increase through volunteer work, though.

In a 2013 study in Psychology and Aging, scientists found that adults over the age of 50 who volunteer at least 200 hours in a 12-month period were less likely to develop hypertension. Through volunteering, physical activity increases, which can help lower symptoms of hypertension.

“Volunteering at the NAWC keeps you physically and mentally active, thus increasing your brain function as you move and think at the same time,” Troutman says.

And anyone who has attended the Walk – whether as a participant, volunteer or onlooker – knows it’s easy to find happy volunteers who are ready to give back to the community. Troutman is ready to hop back on her golf cart and assist participants and volunteers themselves for the 2018 Walk.

“I love seeing so many of my dedicated volunteers return year after year,” Troutman says. “The Walk is a gift to yourself; it’s about prevention and keeping yourself well and healthy. It is thrilling to see so many people embrace this event as a walker or a volunteer.”

25

What Else is New at the 2018 Walk?

After a vigorous walking competition, relax at the new mimosa bar near the finish line in Market Square.

Walkers, kick it into high gear to be the first female or male finishers and receive a new Shinola wrist watch.

Instead of a classic medal for necks, walkers will be awarded an aluminum luggage tag, perfect for any suitcase.

Perhaps one of the mostanticipated swag bags of the year, this year’s Walk jacket is a longsleeved half-zip pullover with thumb holes in the cuffs. The jacket is made from a breathable material suitable for all temperatures.

Too hot for long sleeves? Walkers will also take home a classic Abercrombie & Fitch cotton T-shirt with the Walk logo embroidered on the chest.

26

“We want people to know what Healthy New Albany is doing,” Heit says. “It’s not only about the Walk, but it’s how the Walk is leading to an active lifestyle with people picking up on exercise and learning the importance of movement.”

And that’s Heit’s favorite part: being able to witness people take the first steps toward a healthy lifestyle.

“People who perhaps have never done anything about being physically active to now taking the initiative to do something for their health – that’s always exciting to see,” says Heit.

That’s the Spirit!

Longtime resident Glyde Marsh looks back on New Albany’s history

By Nathan Collins

N

ew Albany is a happy place.

The white horse fencing, gorgeous red brick buildings, rich history and gregarious people. The people, most of all, are what make New Albany such a happy place.

There is a term used to describe community spirit in more scientific, psychological terms: collective effervescence. When people come together in close proximity, such as the residents of New Albany, and repeatedly share the sense of assembly, it naturally generates a high degree of happiness. Social bonds are then reinforced through the feeling of collectiveness.

In other words, when a group or individual engages in activities that benefit the community, community spirit is born.

In 2009, Glyde Marsh was chosen as New Albany Fourth of July parade grand marshal.

28

Dr. Glyde Marsh who, in 2013 at the age of 95, officially became the most senior elected official in the Ohio House of Representatives, has undoubtedly been one of the main catalysts for the level of spirit showcased

by New Albany residents today. Marsh credits his late wife, Margaret, for keeping him involved within the community over the course of seven decades.

“She always wanted me to be involved, and here I am, more than 70 years since I served my country in World War II, and I’m still involved,” says Marsh, who is now 99.

After serving as a military police officer in World War II, Marsh arrived in New Albany in 1946. He made the decision to go to veterinary school, a decision heavily influenced by his childhood memories of farm life in rural northeastern Ohio. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

In the Beginning

Eventually Marsh found himself employed with The Ohio State University.

One day he sent out an inquiry amongst his colleagues regarding where in the area he could find affordable land for sale.

“My wife and I wanted to start a family and everyone kept telling me the cheapest land anywhere in central Ohio was in New Albany,” says Marsh. “At that time, I paid $185 an acre. Times have certainly changed.”

Times certainly have changed and it’s been all for the better, proven by New Albany’s 2015 ranking as the No. 1 suburb in America by Business Insider.

After a professional career that saw Marsh become one of the nation’s leading poultry veterinarians, he retired from OSU in 1985. He never has retired from community service though. Today, Marsh is a member of the New Albany City Council, a position he’s held since 1993. He’s also served multiple terms as a school board member and works the polls during elections, a role he’s filled since 1954.

Marsh still wants to know what’s on the minds of the people of New Albany.

He can be found at the New Albany Farmers Market, his finger on the pulse of the community.

“Let’s put it this way; I take every Thursday and sit up at the farmers market talking to the citizens,” he says. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

WWW.JORGENSEN-FARMS.COM

Since he served in World War II, Marsh hasn’t taken a break from serving his community in some form.

29

The most important issue for the people, according to Marsh, is the quality of the school system. Marsh’s commitment and devotion to the community is obvious, and he puts it simply: “There have been tremendous changes,” he says.

Tremendous changes have indeed been made. Numerous school programs are recognized at the local, state and national levels each year. Each of New Albany Plain-Local Schools’ buildings have, at one time or another, been named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education, and the district has received a rating of excellent by the Ohio Department of Education for the past five years.

This sense of community did not manifest overnight. It’s been a decades-long endeavor, and it’s all happened under Marsh’s watchful eye.

“I started in ’46, and the Plain Township area was considered the least developed, least desirable place to live in Franklin County,” he says.

It may be difficult for the present-day New Albany resident to consider that, at one time, the area was not only underdeveloped, but undesirable as well.

For the foreseeable future, Marsh continues to do his part to ensure New Albany’s light of community spirit continues to shine brighter than all the rest by making himself available at the community farmers market. Find Marsh Thursdays through Sept.

6 from 4-7 p.m. at the New Albany Farmers Market in Market Square.

“I have a lawn chair there and I do it as a local politician to get a sense of the community,” he says.

Bringing the Business

How is New Albany attracting new companies?

By Chase Ray

A

lthough New Albany is small in population compared to other Columbus suburbs, it has a huge Business Park that is already home to six Fortune 500 companies.

At more than 4,000 acres, 10 million square feet and over 10,000 employees, the New Albany International Business Park is one of the largest master-planned business parks in the country and one of the fastest growing in the Midwest.

It came as huge news – but no surprise – when Facebook announced it was to build a new data center, New Albany’s largest to date, in the Business Park in

2019. The company plans to invest $750 million to construct a 970,000-squarefoot facility that will be completely powered by renewable energy and will employ approximately 100 employees.

With companies like Aetna, Big Lots, L Brands and PharmaForce, what is it about New Albany that keeps attracting new companies?

According to Jack Kessler, chairman of the New Albany Company, the goal has always been to find the right balance between residential, commercial and park development. Just last year, 15 new companies joined the park, bringing 2,500 new employees into the city each day.

www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

While offering up to 500 acres of development opportunities, the Business Park also features park-like settings, allowing campuses and buildings to connect to a network of leisure trails where employees can walk, jog or bike to restaurants, shops, fitness and cultural facilities.

The Business Park can also accommodate everything from global headquarters and R&D facilities to small business start-ups.

Moreover, multiple hotels, grocery stores and specialty and convenience retail are located within the Business Park to provide for the daily needs of its companies and their employees.

Although some employees in the Business Park may live and shop in the city of New Albany, all of them contribute to the community’s growing tax base, which will help provide for quality schools, parks and public services.

Spirit of a Student

New Albany High School students commit to giving back

By Chase Ray

F

or New Albany High School students, the phrase “service learning” has a different meaning than it would for others. That’s because NAHS students are required to complete a certain number of community service hours to graduate, though many students volunteer simply for the pleasure of giving back.

The New Albany-Plain Local Schools’ Board of Education recognizes

the importance of service learning and requires students to complete a minimum of 25 hours of it to graduate. Moreover, service learning allows students to benefit from new skill development, helps determine career paths while assisting others, teaches civic responsibility, and strengthens the community and students’ connection to it.

There has also been a growing trend of scholarship application committees, college admissions and even employers viewing service learning records

to determine acceptance into their programs, schools or companies, according to Patrick Gallaway, director of communications for NAPLS. Some of the guidelines of service learning state that students are encouraged to provide service both within and outside the New Albany area. They may not work for family members, for-profit businesses or be compensated in any way for their service.

Any service learning hours accrued from June 1 of a student’s freshman year until May of their senior year may be applied to their service learning graduation requirement.

Some examples of volunteer work that students have done in the past include working big events like the New Albany Walking Classic, assisting with local

Thinking Twice About Disaster Disaster may be uncommon in New Albany, but it’s never a bad idea to be prepared

By Lydia Freudenberg

N

atural or human-made disasters typically do not occur in New Albany. There may be a tornado watch or an unusual power outage but still, being prepared for anything is a quality idea.

September is National Preparedness Month and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends planning for emergencies to keep your family safe in the event that the unimaginable happens. Planning for an emergency comes down to three tips: create a supply kit, make a plan and learn what to do in different incidents.

32

The Kit

The supply kit should have at least three days’ worth of resources. It’s also recommended that the bag itself is waterproof, and it should be stored in an easy-to-access location. Here are some items to pack: • One gallon of water a day for each family member • Dry and canned foods – don’t forget the can opener • Daily prescription medicines • General first-aid kit • Fully charged portable charger for cellphones • Battery-powered radio and flashlights • Whistle to blow for help

The Plan

Sit down and create a family plan, that way everyone knows their roles.

• In case family members are in different locations during an incident, it’s smart to have a designated emergency contact. It saves on time and reduces panic, as one member is responsible for knowing and reporting everyone’s whereabouts.

Pro tip: Group family text messages save on time • Make sure to think through the protocol for pets, older relatives or members with disabilities; they may need assistance walking or being transported.

• Be familiar with the emergency plans at your work and your children’s school. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

city events, working at nursing homes and more. Students are encouraged to come up with and plan their own volunteer opportunities.

The major takeaway? New Albany schools wants its students to continue their philanthropic efforts even after graduation. If the spirit of giving back is instilled at a young age, young people are more likely to continue giving back through adulthood. Faculty members and teachers hope to see these kids move on to college and their future careers with the mindset that it is good to give back and help others, and so far, it seems to be a success.

The Event

Because natural disasters in New Albany are very rare, it’s unlikely residents will need to evacuate, take shelter or quarantine the sick. Still, it’s good to know what to do.

• Never keep the gas in the family car too low in case evacuation is necessary.

• Have a designated area within the house for taking shelter, preferably a basement.

• Refer to local or national government sources for information on a quarantine location.

Energized Aging New Albany and surrounding communities are a great place to live for people of all ages

By Chase Ray

N

ew Albany and the communities that surround it have experienced a senior living facility boom. There are facilities that specialize in certain areas such as physical therapy and memory care just to compensate for all aspects of senior citizen health needs. New Albany is a community of active- and healthminded individuals, and that philosophy doesn’t end with retirement. The area’s living options feel less like assisted living facilities and more like lifelong retreats for older adults.

At Home in New Albany

The campus at Wesley Woods at New Albany is just that – a campus. Perfectly planned, residents live in quintessential New Albany homes, complete with that well-loved Georgian architecture. First & Main of New Albany balances safety with comfort and privacy where seniors can find the care they need to stay well and live active, healthy lives. Whether you’re active and independent or in need of help with daily tasks, First & Main takes an á la carte approach: staying out of the way when not needed but appearing at a moment’s notice to provide attentive service with a smile whenever the need arises. Our Family Home at Harlem Road puts residents in a suburban, residential home that provides a warm, safe living environment which includes 24-hour personal care assistance and specializes in serving individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Otterbein SeniorLife has a vast amount of services, living options and opportunities for its residents, which means its residents get the full freedom to choose the way they’d like to live, whether they’re adventurous and outdoorsy or would rather read a book by the fire.

Division I Dreams Drew Fischer is a leader on and off the soccer field

Drew Fischer’s high school soccer career is marked not only by his talent, but by his leadership on the field.

and how much sleep I’m getting,” he says.

“This becomes even more important as a Division I athlete in the future.”

Fischer typically spends 10-15 hours every week playing soccer, and there’s one area of his nutrition where he won’t compromise.

“I don’t drink soda,” he says. “I gave it up in eighth grade after doing a research project that analyzed the harmful effects of soda on the body.”

In addition to playing soccer for NAHS, Fischer also plays for a local club team, Ohio Premier. This past spring the team won the state championship and Fischer got the chance to see the country while traveling to Orlando, Las Vegas, North Carolina, Philadelphia, Detroit, St. Louis and Indianapolis for matches.

What sets Fischer apart from most student athletes is the way he excels as a student not only in the classroom,

but also with the activities and organizations in which he’s involved. These include the Principal’s Student Advisory Board, National Honor Society, Youth in Government and the Ohio High School Athletic Association Student Leadership Conference.

Fischer is also a member of SOAR Leadership, a team that, according to the NAHS website, consists of a select group of students that demonstrates leadership, citizenship and compassion, and that is tasked with recognizing student and staff achievement.

“We look to recognize students with good grades, accomplishments in the classroom and in extracurricular activities, and be a positive influence in our school while promoting school spirit,” Fischer says.

As part of his role with SOAR, Fischer also served as the emcee for pep rallies. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

rew Fischer’s future includes the achievement of a dream he’s held and worked for as long as he can remember: playing Division I soccer at a prestigious university. Before he dons the Colgate University Raiders kit next year, Fischer will captain the New Albany High School men’s soccer team as a senior and play a vital role for the class of 2019 and New Albany community.

Fischer has attended New Albany schools since first grade. His family, which includes his mom, Susan; his dad, Brad; and his two younger brothers, Will and Jack; moved to New Albany from Medina.

“I love being a part of the New Albany community because of the great schools, teachers and staff, and the amazing community events and activities that bring us together,” he says.

Fischer’s high school soccer career has been a decorated one so far.

He made the varsity team as a freshman, was named captain as a junior and made first team All-Ohio Capital Conference as well. Fischer is excited about his senior season, but as captain his focus is on the team.

“Our goals for this year are winning another conference championship, making a run at a state title and building upon three straight 10-win seasons,” he says.

Fitness has always been a priority for Fischer, and he knows that the physical and mental demands will be even higher as he moves on to college next year.

“My coaches and parents have always stressed a healthy lifestyle where I am aware of what I’m putting into my body

This year, Fischer hopes to lead NAHS soccer to another conference championship win as well as work toward a state title.

His biggest role on stage, however, came as the executive director of TEDxNewAlbany, New Albany’s own independently organized TED event run entirely by NAHS students. The event, now entering its seventh year, has grown each year in both attendance and renown.

“It was a big challenge balancing a large community event with school and soccer, but our event was very successful with around 300 attendees and eight terrific speakers at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts this April,” says Fischer. “One of the most rewardwww.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

ing experiences of my last few years in high school is seeing all of our team’s hard work during the year ending with a smooth event and talented speakers that engage our audience.”

Before Fischer leaves New Albany next year for upstate New York, he can be spotted around town, especially frequenting Eagles Pizza, a local favorite.

“Taco pizza, it is amazing and has changed my life for the better,” says Fischer.

Of course, he’ll also be volunteering at the New Albany Walking Classic or

putting an exclamation point on his high school soccer career at Veterans Field at Eagle Stadium. Regardless of where he’s found, Fischer is likely to be making a positive impact on his community and those around him.

Foods for Fitness

Now We’re Cooking with Greens!

How using kale in the kitchen can improve your diet and lifestyle

Visit www.healthynewalbany magazine.com to try three of Emily Snyder’s delicious kale recipes!

A

s the typical American life gets busier and busier, it can be easy to let cooking fall by the wayside. Between hectic schedules and families with picky eaters, adding a healthful variety of vegetables to the dinner table can seem difficult and complicated.

However, the addition of one simple vegetable could improve your overall health while spicing up your dinner options, providing diverse recipes that each family member will love.

Known for its distinctive taste and versatility in the kitchen, kale is considered one the of most healthful and nutrition-packed foods in the world.

No stranger to using kale in the kitchen, Emily Snyder, who has a bachelor’s in food science and nutri-

38

tion and Healthy New Albany Inc. office manager, knows kale’s utility through education as well as through her personal experimentation in the kitchen, as she began cooking with kale during her undergraduate career.

“The first time I tried kale was in school, as kale chips were becoming a popular alternative for potato chips,” says Snyder. “I found a recipe for kale chips and started making them on my own. I then started using kale in salads and in some of my favorite family recipes.”

Going Green

Kale is a leafy, low-calorie vegetable that is high in antioxidants, fiber and vitamins A, C and K. When compared to other greens such as romaine or spinach, kale contains between two

and three grams of protein per cup – an important part of the diet for meat eaters and vegans alike. Different minerals such as calcium, copper, manganese and potassium are also found in this hardy vegetable.

“Typically, most people only think of bananas when they think of potassium, but kale is a great source of this as well,” says Snyder.

Like avocado and quinoa, kale appears to have become a hugely popular ingredient in everything from pizza and salad toppings to chips and stuffing. It seems kale can be found on any menu as of late.

According to Medical News Today, the multiple nutrients in kale may offer protection against diabetes, support heart health by lowering cholesterol and www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

ly,” says Snyder. “For example, Panera has one that is very good.”

An Acquired Taste

Cook Smarter, Not Harder

While these proposed health benefits may not be a selling point to the picky eaters in the family, kale’s versatility and the many recipes it can be used in may draw their attention a little closer.

After years of learning to cook with kale, Snyder says that kale is a main ingredient used in her every day diet, utilized in a number of different ways.

“I use kale in Mexican-inspired casseroles, soups, pesto sauce, salads, smoothies and my favorite, a breakfast hash,” says Snyder. “This adds volume to these dishes and you get the added health benefits from including kale in the recipe.”

One way in which Snyder prepares kale is by throwing it, along with olive oil, in a large bowl and rubbing the leaves together. This technique, referred to as massaging, helps break down the bitterness and allows the vegetable to become more tender and palatable.

“Massaging is the main practice I would suggest for someone who isn’t sure how to use kale or is cooking with it for the first time,” says Snyder.

Bags of pre-cut kale can be bought at grocery stores, making it www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

easier to use when throwing together a quick meal, says Snyder.

For families who have to stop, grab and go while on the road, having a dinner that includes kale can be accomplished with one simple stop.

“I have seen kale Caesar salads popping up on restaurant menus late-

promote a healthy digestive tract. Multiple cancer-fighting compounds, such as sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinol, have also been found in kale.

For these reasons, a promising future for this leafy green is almost guaranteed.

As for the taste of this hardy vegetable, Snyder mentions that it’s an acquired taste that takes some time to thoroughly enjoy.

“Kale can be an overpowering vegetable with a strong, funky taste so I can see why some people wouldn’t enjoy as much as I do,” says Snyder.

“However, it does work well whenever you pair other strong flavors with it, such as spicy foods, or placing it in a smoothie with other ingredients.”

Regardless of its unique taste, kale is a nutrient-dense vegetable that could not only improve your diet and lifestyle but also make cooking much more interesting for the whole family.

“I believe kale is very versatile and a good ingredient for all types of recipes,” says Snyder. “I encourage everyone to taste it and pair it with different ingredients and recipes they already enjoy.”

Word of Mouth

veryone knows the feeling of leaving the dentist office with freshly cleaned teeth and the new sense of confidence that comes with it. Getting to the office for that semi-annual appointment, though, often feels like a nuisance.

Healthy New Albany Magazine sat down with Dr. Timothy Backiewicz of New Albany Family Dentistry to discuss the reasons why dental hygiene should be maintained, and why you may not always be the best judge of your own oral health.

Healthy New Albany Magazine: How does dental hygiene and good oral health affect one’s overall health?

Dr. Timothy Backiewicz: It’s important to maintain dental hygiene and good oral health because it minimizes

EXPERT:

Dr. Timothy Backiewicz earned his bachelor’s degree in zoology from Miami University of Ohio before going on to dental school at Ohio University, graduating in 1991. With over 23 years of practice experience, he brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and insight to his dental care. Dr. Backiewicz also received advanced training from the Pediatric Dental Welfare Clinic from 1991-1996, and he served as the secretary for the Ohio Chamber of Commerce in 2011.

Dr. Backiewicz continues to stay wellinformed by continuing his education on an annual basis.

the risk of bacterial growth and proliferation throughout the body. The mouth is full of numerous types of bacteria. When bacteria multiply, they can cause infection not only in the mouth, but they can spread through the bloodstream and create infection in other parts of the body as well. This can lead to a decline in the overall well-being and health of an individual.

HNA: Why should one come into the dentist even while following all doctor’s recommendations for brushing and flossing?

TB: The dentist is knowledgeable in the detection of oral disease. Even if a patient is maintaining his or her recommended daily oral health care, there are several different types of disease that can form in the mouth without any clear symptoms. For example, tooth decay; cavities form very slowly, and oftentimes the patient is completely unaware that they have decay. The symptoms can be so vague, or even nonexistent, to the individual. Tooth decay is not always visible, especially in its early stage, and that’s why dentists will check your teeth with an instrument that can detect the integrity of the outer surface of the teeth.

We also check the entire mouth for the possibility of future concerns; if a patient needs to have their wisdom teeth removed, is a candidate for orthodontics or is in need of any other further evaluation by a specialist.

HNA: What are the major oral diseases that people run the risk of contracting if they neglect dental health? Are there any oral diseases that occur even when the patient has good oral hygiene?

TB: The major mouth diseases that most patients are at risk for are periodontal disease and rampant tooth decay. If a patient neglects dental health, they can run the risk of allowing bacteria to multiply, causing infection of the gums, which leads to periodontal disease. Tooth de-

cay occurs when patients fail to brush away bacteria and food. When bacteria ingest fermentable carbohydrates (sugar), they produce lactic acid, which eats away at the tooth surface causing decay.

There are several other diseases of the mouth that can occur, even if a patient has a good oral hygiene. Of course, there are cancers of the mouth caused either by smoking or through the use of smokeless tobacco products. Mouth cancer can also be hereditary or have an unknown origin altogether. Unfortunately, a patient may have great oral hygiene and still develop cancer.

HNA: What are the most common oral health problems you see in your patients?

TB: As far as our patients at NAFD, the most common oral health problems we see and treat are mild to moderate gum disease and tooth decay. We do, however, treat a number of TMDs, or temporomandibular disorders. These are mostly caused by bruxism, or the grinding and/or clenching of teeth. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

The connection between oral health and overall well-being

HNA: What are symptoms of bruxism to which a person who unknowingly grinds his or her teeth at night might need to pay attention?

TB: If a patient is unaware of teeth grinding, the most common symptom that a patient will have is jaw pain. If a patient complains of discomfort in the temporomandibular joint, we immediately evaluate for the possibility of TMD and bruxism. A patient may also experience popping or clicking noises in the joint, or even lockjaw. Muscular and/or frequent headaches are other symptoms that can be related to tooth grinding. A patient may complain of increased temperature sensitivity – especially to cold – coming from their teeth. This is caused by the slow erosion of the enamel. When the enamel is worn thin, the pulp, or nerve, will detect the temperature change more readily.

HNA: People in which demographics are more likely to have issues with oral health than others?

TB: Periodontal disease, in certain cases, can be linked genetically. Gum disease and tooth decay are caused by bacteria, therefore, if the immune system is not functioning properly, the patient is more susceptible to the disease. Other health issues such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases can have an effect on oral health, as well as medications.

Various heat medications, some antidepressants and contraceptive medication can have an effect on the inflammatory response of gum tissue.
