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.

When Misfortune Creates Fortune

I

n 2003, I had an experience that was life-changing. I had arranged for a visit to an orthopedist as I did not appreciate the knee pain that accompanied my every run. After perusing the x-rays with the doctor, it became apparent what was to follow. My passion for running was going to be interrupted permanently.

I was advised that if I continued to run, knee surgery would be in my future. In my quest to pursue the need to maintain a physically active lifestyle, I decided to accept walking as my way to strengthen my relationship with well-being.

Little did I realize at the time that an unfortunate situation would result in positive outcomes that would impact so many lives. Having a knee injury coerced me to accept walking as an important aspect of my life. This led to creating a walking-only race, the New Albany Walking Classic that promoted the importance of an active lifestyle in our community. As health became more prominent in New Albany, other health initiatives such as a farmers market, community garden and so much more evolved and Healthy New Albany was created.

While the news channels and social media feeds are replete with the negative effects of COVID-19, and certainly the impact is devastating, there are outcomes that demonstrate how opportunities for change can improve individual and community well-being. In this and previous issues of Healthy New Albany Magazine, I am reminded of how the New Albany Community Foundation has stepped up its efforts to support community needs such as the food pantry’s mission to supply food to residents affected by the pandemic. We provide information about how to stay safe from COVID-19 such as Emily Snyder’s article Mask Up New Albany.

Beyond the gloom of the COVID-19 clouds above are breaks that enable rays of positive change to be emitted. Due to COVID-19, fewer vehicles on the road have helped reduce air pollution levels. More people are outside exercising in a myriad of different ways whether it be walking, running or cycling. The result has been weight loss and improved health for many. A rejuvenated sense of community and social cohesion is present. With greater restrictions leading to remaining closer to home, some people are finding they are saving more by spending less money on things such as dining out and travel. People are using social platforms to promote social connectivity. COVID-19 is driving a new wave of corporate social responsibility as an increase in monetary and food donations are helping those most in need.

It is evident that in so many instances, the misfortune of living through this pandemic has created opportunities for improving lives.

Healthfully,

Phil Heit Executive Director Emeritus Healthy New Albany

physical therapist were located. After working my way back to walking around

my neighborhood for one to three miles at a time, I sustained a stress fracture in my right foot again.

Once the right foot fracture healed, I was looking for a group to walk with and found the New Albany Walking Club website. I joined the club in October 2013 and have been an active member ever since. The walking club walks yearround, and I followed the training schedule for the New Albany Walking Classic half marathon.

Race day, I thought I was ready for the half marathon, even though my pace was slow. I did manage to stay ahead of the pacer and was OK to continue on to the half marathon course. However, once I passed the 10K mark and started the back half of the route, my left foot started hurting, so I turned back.

I limped for about four weeks and went to see a physical therapist in Pataskala for gait training. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

n 2000, I began walking to lose and maintain a healthy weight and improve my fitness for quality of life.

When my oldest grandchild was born in 2009, my weight was down to an optimal level for me. I was walking on my own and attending Zumba classes in eastern Ohio.

Later that year, we moved to Pataskala to be closer to my son and his growing family, and the Zumba classes stopped. I looked for a place to work out and maintain my exercise level from before but didn’t have much luck. I was still riding my bicycle 10 to 15 miles on a regular basis and started walking with Walk with a Doc at several different locations. Unfortunately, I fell while riding my bike on a path through The Ohio State University campus.

This resulted in the first of four fractures in my feet.

The next summer, I stepped in a small hole in my son’s yard and broke my left foot for the second time. After rehab I continued working out with a trainer at Orthopedic One, where my surgeon and

Fortunately, after a lot of rehab, hip exercises, working out with my personal trainer at the Heit Center and training in water aerobics classes, I was able to walk well enough to visit Japan and China in fall 2019.

I can’t say enough good things about the Heit Center. The facility is clean and the equipment is well maintained. All the personnel are very helpful and knowledgeable, and we have met so many wonderful friends there. Our water aerobics class has had some of the same members for five years.

I was planning on walking the New Albany Walking Classic 10K this year,

I learned then that I had, in fact, sustained my fourth fracture!

So, I was back in the boot with physical therapy. I still went to the walking club but couldn’t walk any distance for several months.

This was about the time that the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany was being built. Executive Director Phil Heit shared with me the many services available at the center, so once it opened, my husband, Al, and I were among the first members. At that time, you could join with the option of a health coach and so we did. I was in the muscle-skeletal track with a physical therapist/advisor overseeing my program.

I worked out daily at the Heit Center while also watching my diet closely; I adopted a whole food plant-based diet for health reasons. This, combined with exercise, helped me lose about 40 pounds!

After the last foot fracture, I changed my walking focus to 10K and rode my bike as much as possible. I participated in the New Albany Walking Classic 10K for two years. In June 2017, while on vacation in Hilton Head with my son and his family, I tripped and fractured my right ankle. Later that summer, after it healed, we went on a safari in South Africa and Botswana.

In April 2019, I fell and fractured my left hip. Sadly, this resulted in a total hip replacement. I decided to volunteer for the Walking Classic in 2019 instead of walking the event. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

but while volunteering at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium I fell and refractured my left femur. I’m scheduled for therapy again soon.

I don’t know that I’ll be walking a 10K in September, but I’ll definitely be back at the Heit Center soon getting ready to continue with life!

A Meditative Approach

A local yoga instructor’s story of listening to – and fighting for – her health

12

hose who know Chris Kaighn love her for her strength and resilience, and for imparting her wisdom of yoga practices at GoYoga in New Albany.

She knows the importance of listening to her body and following her instincts. Having been presented with immense health challenges throughout her life, she learned this lesson earlier than most.

“I grew up in this unremarkable, happy life. Just a kind of average kid in a small town and great family and all those good things,” Kaighn says. “When I was in college, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I was really fortunate to have parents who were health advocates for me, but being adopted, I didn’t know my health history.”

Meditation www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

As traditional as her upbringing might have been, her college experience soon became extraordinary.

She underwent substantial amounts of radiation and surgery through the University of Pennsylvania to treat the disease. The radiation was successful but brought some other issues along with it.

“The way they conducted radiation in the ’80s in particular caused an enormous amount of damage to my body, and over the years, I was challenged with radiation-related health issues that were very serious,” Kaighn says.

One of these issues was the growth of pre-cancerous nodules on her thyroid. The following year, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

“I caught it very early because I am very good about following up with selfexaminations,” Kaighn says.

She shared some details about her diagnosis that she credits as being one of the most impactful moments in her health journey.

“The very first doctor that diagnosed me and gave me my biopsy and told me that I had cancer, when my mom and dad were on either side of me – that’s the moment you never forget,” Kaighn says. “I basically went out of the office and told my parents I wasn’t going back to that doctor and we should find another doctor. I was 18 years old and I’m, like, firing this 40-year-old man. I didn’t like how he talked to me; I didn’t like what he was saying.”

Thanks to her due diligence in listening to her body and her assertiveness with her doctor, breast cancer was one more obstacle that Kaighn was able to overcome.

Still, she wasn’t out of the woods yet. During her time as a retail expert at the clothing store Justice, she found herself noticing another troubling symptom: breathing issues.

“I saw the doctor and they said it was asthma, and another doctor said it was asthma,” Kaighn says. “I went to my oncologist to follow up with my breast care doctors. I basically said to her, ‘Something is wrong. This is not asthma. I need you to help me figure out what is wrong.’”

As it turned out, two of her heart valves were failing due to radiation damage, and she needed a double valve replacement and full open heart surgery.

“That is probably the biggest lesson I’ve learned is to be an advocate for my health: to really stand up for yourself and you really have to. Some people avoid getting tests and mammograms because they really don’t want to know the truth,” Kaighn says. “I am always one to encourage people to be advocates for themselves. I know I repeated that a lot, but I don’t think it can be overplayed. I’ve done it myself when you’re in a conversation with a doctor. They seem to know what they’re talking about. It can be easy not to ask, but always follow your heart and go with your gut and advocate when things don’t feel right.”

Nowadays, she uses the practice of yoga as another way to be an advocate 13

for her health and leads the New Albany community in doing the same.

“I had always been into yoga from a physical wellness standpoint, but had never been really, really serious about it until about a year before my surgery, and I had no idea that I had this looming, lurking heart thing about to happen,” Kaighn says. “I really threw myself into yoga and began to both really commit to it from a physical practice, but also the mindfulness and wellness mentality that it brings, which is really the real gift of yoga.”

Practical ways that she says yoga helps in her everyday life include finding her inner calm and sense of peace, managing her pain, managing fear, staying in the moment, and extending trust. When she awoke from her surgery, these practices were what she turned to in order to gain strength.

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.

“I woke up intubated, I was confused, I was in pain, I didn’t know where I was or what I was doing. I was breathing, practicing yoga. It was a life-changing element that got me through that experience,” Kaighn says. “Then when I healed, the minute I was allowed out of the house, I was back in that yoga studio. I couldn’t lift my arms. I used that to help strengthen my body and to help strengthen me on the inside as one.”

Kaighn teaches four times a week at GoYoga, helping others to find their own strength through yoga. Anyone who knows Kaighn should know that giving up isn’t part of her vocabulary, and she doesn’t plan to give up her practice at GoYoga, nor her passion for life in New Albany, any time soon.

“We have found Ohio, particularly New Albany, to be an amazing place to raise a family. Really great people, really great opportunities,” she says.

Connecting Community The Raines Cadieux family reflects on their time in New Albany

By Lydia Freudenberg

T

he new pride of New Albany is Rose Run Park and its Raines Crossing Bridge. The timeless structure features a wide opening that welcomes all and connects two large aspects of the community, the learning campus and the 16

Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany. During a time of social distancing and outdoor activities, the park and its beautiful bridge were completed right on time.

The park was completed in late 2019 and was scheduled to host its grand opening celebration in the spring. The

event was then rescheduled to Sept. 26 and was to feature the Rose Run 5K, fun activities and more, but because of the ongoing pandemic, the event was again canceled. Regardless, it’s never too late to acknowledge the Raines Cadieux New Albany family that helped make Raines Crossing happen. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

The family’s $500,000 donation to the New Albany Community Foundation and, in turn, the bridge, wasn’t just a random generous contribution. In a way, it’s also a thank you to New Albany residents, all of whom helped the Raines Cadieux family through a traumatic experience.

Dealing with the Unexpected

Sandy Raines and Ron Cadieux have known each other for years, but when Ron was earning his Ph.D. at Michigan State University, where Sandy’s father was a professor, the duo was reunited and eventually married.

“Our father fixed us up, he was very persistent,” Sandy says, laughing. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Since Ron and his son, Nathan Rideout-Cadieux, were based in central Ohio, Sandy and her daughter, Laura, decided to move to the area and chose New Albany as their new home. The young community afforded endless opportunities, especially for Sandy who already had 15 years of real estate experience.

Honing her entrepreneurial spirit, Sandy launched The Raines Group in 1998 and hired Stephanie Masterson, who is now the company’s president. Sandy says starting the business was overwhelming, but it never knocked her down – she pushed out newsletters, explored the neighborhood and got involved in the community at the New Albany Country Club.

“People embraced us here, it really was wonderful,” Sandy says. “Everyone was so friendly and welcoming.”

The community support didn’t stop there.

In 1999, Laura was celebrating the holiday season with her father and other relatives in Florida. The condo where they were staying featured an old-fashioned elevator with an accordion door, and then-8-year-old Laura was excited to give it a ride. The owner had adjusted the machine to allow the doors to stay open while it operated, so the accordion doors weren’t shut as she began her ascent. Suddenly, Laura noticed something on the ground and when she bent down to inspect the object her head got 17

Impactful Family Experiences

caught between the ledge of the next floor and the rising elevator.

“I could hear the bones cracking in my ears and I just didn’t know what was happening,” Laura says on a 2012 episode of I Survived….

She was life-flighted to the nearby trauma hospital and underwent several emergency surgeries, lasting 15 hours.

After arriving back in Ohio, the Raines Cadieuxes were overwhelmed 18

with affection. Driving from the airport, signs hung across highway ramps welcoming Laura home. Once in New Albany, yellow ribbons had been hung from hundreds of trees, and local families delivered meals and cards to the recovering family.

“People, I literally had no clue who they were, were sending me cards and I still have a lot of those cards,” Laura says.

Laura, by request, also made it home just in time for her 9th birthday. She returned to school with brownies to celebrate her big day and was greeted by 1,000 paper cranes hanging in the atrium.

“It was really amazing how much the New Albany community came together,” Laura says.

The community has gone above and beyond for the Raines Cadieux family, and they wanted to show their gratitude with a physical presence.

When exploring ideas with Craig Mohre, president of the NACF, they realized a bridge was a great way to symbolize the strong New Albany connection and how The Raines Group helps families connect to New Albany. And now, during the pandemic, it’s a place where people can safely come together.

“It’s a place where people can connect,” Sandy says, “and there’s a lot of change going on, but it’s an opportunity to have something positive in the community, so it really feels good.”

Moving Forward

A traumatic incident can sometimes negatively impact not only the victim but also their family. For Laura and her family though, her accident actually brought them closer.

“I think it’s been a family unit we’ve kind of built together,” Laura says. “It’s not necessarily been one time, it’s been 25-plus surgeries.

Having that continued support has been really essential in me being the person I am today. I think without their love and support, I would have never gotten the world’s best surgeons and care.”

Laura isn’t the only family member to have health complications. At 5 months old, Nathan underwent open heart surgery and is set to have another procedure soon.

“We’ve shared these experiences together as a family,” Ron says. “We are grateful that we have grown closer through these challenging times.”

COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF CANCER CARE

Elizabeth Kander, M.D.

After graduating from Columbus School for Girls and then the University of Michigan, Laura moved to Chicago and now works for Google as the programmatic media lead helping large companies with their display advertising strategies.

Nathan also moved to Chicago and the stepsiblings now live down the street from each other. Laura and Nathan envy the New Albany walking paths and outdoor spaces that are especially perfect during the pandemic. They agree that New Albany will always feel like home.

“Nathan and I have talked about how much we do feel a community (New Albany) is and how much it feels like home,” Laura says. “We have had six homes in the New Albany community as we grew up, and just thinking about our wonderful experiences around New Albany is amazing.”

As for Ron and Sandy, New Albany will most likely always be their home base, in large part because of the people.

“It’s a beautiful community, architecturally and in every other way,” Ron says.

“What makes it such a special place is the people.”

City Website Gets Upgrades

I

f you haven’t visited the City of New Albany’s website, www.newalbany.org, lately, I invite you to take another look.

Although a lot of the website holds up well from the significant changes made in 2016, a conscious effort was made to update aspects of New Albany’s homepage and maps while creating a

20

compelling new Rose Run Park section that helps bring the newest community asset to life.

One of the first things you’ll notice is a pop-up inviting you to sign up for New Albany’s LIST e-newsletter. If you aren’t currently subscribed to this weekly publication, it’s a great way to stay updated

on city projects, services and happenings. After this pop-up, you will notice a homepage that includes new features like city videos, an events section for upcoming events around town, a more prominent “News” section and a social media section featuring recent community pictures taken by residents who used the www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

even local, state and national accolades noted by various entities. Additionally, the entire website is mobile friendly, which is important since the majority of internet users are now accessing it on their phones.

I invite you to take a look around the newly updated website and email me at smcafee@newalbanyohio.org if there is anything not currently on the website that you would like to see included in the future.

Feedback welcome at feedback@ cityscenemediagroup.com. #NewAlbanyOhio hashtag. After all, the best way to illustrate life in New Albany and the beauty of our community is to let residents share what they love most through their own words and pictures.

The city map was upgraded by adding icons and pop-ups to showcase different community subdivisions and landmarks. Staff also added map overlays for city boundaries, school boundaries, parks and leisure trails to allow users to see where they could access certain parks or trails from their neighborhood or wherever they may be in the community.

Speaking of parks, the New Albany communications team is very excited about the new Rose Run Park page. This park, the latest community asset in the heart of town, connects people to nature, restaurants and shops, civic amenities, and each other; and the web page features a map of Rose Run Park amenities, including areas of special note in the park such as the child nature play area, leisure trails, Marx Library Garden and Raines Crossing Bridge. It also includes photo and video galleries as well as a virtual tour so people can experience the beauty of the park before ever stepping foot in it.

We’ve included information about amenities close to the park, too, like the Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany, Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts and Charleen and Charles Hinson Amphitheater.

Finally, website users will see a revised “Find Answers” section, an easily identifiable word search on the home page and a “Quick Links” section that provides access to city forms, information about a variety of city departments and services, parks, City Council, and www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

Canine Companions for Independence relocates to New Albany

revor Comeau doesn’t remember his life-changing accident.

In May 2010, when vacationing in Jamaica, Comeau swam off the boat and into a cave. Inside, he attempted to jump off a cliff but slipped and fell. He floated out of the cave.

“I woke up in Florida,” he says.

Since then, Comeau has adjusted to his new normal as someone with quadriplegia, but he doesn’t have to do it alone.

His new life led him to connect with Drey II, an assistance dog from Canine Companions for Independence.

“His companionship and having him with me has made a world of difference,” Comeau says.

The first year following his accident was the slowest for Comeau, with winter being horrible because he had to stay inside all the time. He continued to improve enough to use a manual wheelchair. During his recovery journey, Comeau came across several clients who had CCI assistance dogs.

“I really wanted one,” he says.

Drey was the first dog Comeau worked with during his training at CCI. He knew instantly it was the dog he wanted to be matched with after issuing his first command for Drey to lay his head on his lap.

“I didn’t need to work with any other dogs,” he says. “I was good.”

Same Mission.

Comeau, who completed his training with Drey in 2016 at the nonprofit organization’s North Central Training Center facility in Delaware, Ohio, became the center’s first graduate to visit its new campus in New Albany.

“It was everything I thought it would be and so much more,” Comeau says.

“It exceeded all of my expectations.”

Scheduled to open next month, the new 54,000-square-foot facility is www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

six times larger than its Delaware location, which CCI North Central has called home for 30 years. The new location will offer lodging accommodations with up to 16 rooms.

“The entire mission can play out on campus,” says Megan Koester, the executive director of the North Central Training Center.

The regional training center, which services or covers 14 states from North 23

Dakota to Pennsylvania, typically places 55 to 65 dogs per year. Applicants come out for two weeks to potentially match and train with an assistance dog. In previous years, they’ve had to stay in hotels outside of class time.

“It’s a big commitment to choose to get a dog and choose to take two weeks out of their lives to do the training,” Koester says.

“It will be very nice that they are all there and won’t have to deal with that extra time (of commuting).”

Comeau was living and working in New Albany when he completed his training with Drey, and therefore was able to commute to and from his own apartment while his fellow classmates went to different hotels. He’s excited about the dorm concept because it will allow people in similar situations to share their experiences with each other.

“I think this new campus is going to really allow the NC region’s staff to do their job better than they already do,” he says. “I’ve been so lucky and so

happy to be part of this family and I said it from the beginning.”

Based in Santa Rosa, California, CCI has six regional training centers

throughout the country. It breeds its own dogs in California, but has them raised in homes with families, followed by two years of training to learn scores

of commands to help people with more than 60 different disabilities.

However, Koester says they match dogs with individuals based on their needs rather than what disabilities they have, because individuals with the same disability could have different experiences.

The training center continues to stay in contact with its 500 graduates to answer questions about their assistance dog, and they visit their regional training centers every one to two years, Koester says.

Before the pandemic, CCI North Central had quarterly training sessions for 14 to 16 individuals. They had a limited number of training sessions for smaller groups of people, including one-on-one training, but Koester says she expects training sessions to be more frequent now, and in in smaller groups.

Additionally, Koester expects CCI to become more involved with the New Albany community. With the campus about a mile away from Market Square, clients will have access to grocery stores, pharmacies and leisure activities.

“It feels like we’re moving into the neighborhood we’re meant to be in,” she says.

Koester adds the new campus could become a hub for CCI to host the parent organization’s own events and conferences.

Comeau now lives in New York to be closer to family and friends, but enjoyed his time in New Albany for its therapy and gym options and COTA’s transit services for wheelchair riders, something he now lacks at his current residence. He’s also had positive interactions with the different CCI training centers that he’s visited with Drey.

While Comeau may not remember his fateful accident, he has been able to make incredible new memories with Drey during his visits to elementary schools to read books about service dogs to children. Before the pandemic, they visited about four schools a year.

“I hope Drey lives to be 30 and works with me forever,” Comeau says, “but since most dogs don’t, I imagine I’ll

ess Kaufman’s debut novel comes from a lifetime of pursuing her passion for dogs.

“When I’m out walking, I always stop and ask about the dog,” Kaufman says.

“I’ll remember a person, but I’ll remember the dog more.”

Kaufman discovered her love for dogs as early as 10 years old when she was telling stories about the Weatherbee family, her imaginary family of service dogs that live in a treehouse.

Recovering from a joint replacement in 2018, Kaufman finally wrote her book: The Weatherbees. The story follows a stray dog, Misty, whose life turns around when a fireman and his fire dog rescue her.

“This book is about a dog who had really no hope,” Kaufman says. “She thought nothing good was going to come out of her situation, and then she had these five talented puppies.”

hether it is trying to maintain physical distancing, reduce the emotional distance between different groups in our society or master the art of distance learning, 2020 has brought unprecedented challenges to our community. Through it all, the New Albany Community Foundation has continued to do what it has always done best: bring people together.

Both despite and because of these distancing difficulties, the foundation has worked to continue conversations, create programming and garner support for important causes, and the community has answered the call.

The City of New Albany’s Rose Run Park opening happened to coincide with New Albany residents’ need to maintain social distancing and get outdoors this past spring. Families had new paths to

“The entire community will benefit from our city leaders’ vision and the generosity of the Sandy Raines and Ron Cadieux family, and the Marx family has been generous to the community through the years, contributing their time, talent, and treasure,” says Craig Mohre, president of the New Albany Community Foundation.

Another outdoor project, the Charleen and Charles Hinson Amphitheater, is taking shape just across the road, within the Rose Run corridor and adjacent to the Jeanne B.

timely matters, such as mental health, civil rights, and civil discourse and debate, bringing the community together to promote lifelong learning and greater understanding of these subjects.

As part of the upcoming season and at the recommendation of an advisory group formed by New Albany residents and community leaders, the foundation will present Conversations on Social Justice. The new series will house two programs, and these moderated discussions will be streamed live. The first will feature distinguished university professor and chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University, Eddie S. Glaude Jr., interviewed by Darlene Hill of WCMH-NBC4, and the second program is expected to occur in October and also feature respected social justice scholars and authors.

The foundation will also host Margaret Trudeau, author, activist, mother of Canadian Prime Minister Justin

Voices that bring us new perspectives, bring us together.

Today, more than any other time in our 25-year history, our commitment to lifelong learning has never been stronger. Through The New Albany Lecture Series and our recently announced Conversations on Social Justice, we will bring the issues of the day into sharp focus.

We are living through a time that presents a unique opportunity for us to come together to seek greater understanding. This community has a history of meeting every moment.

We invite you to join us for these important conversations.

Perhaps no effort has garnered and required more community attention than distance learning for New Albany schools.

“We appreciate and value the donors to the New Albany Community Foundation for their support and response to the fund established to help supply personal protective equipment, sanitizer, safety shields and other requests that the district provided to the foundation when they asked us how they could help support a safe return to school for all,” says New Albany schools Superintendent Michael Sawyers. “The generosity of our community is greatly appreciated.”

A Hot Take on Chili How to beef up your chili without, the beef

I

t’s hard to pass up a big bowl of chili.

The heartiness, the spices, the soft tomatoes and melted cheese on top – what’s not to love?

And here’s a secret: chili can actually be beneficial to your health.

First of all, the meat in chili is an excellent source of protein. The beans have tons of fiber, tomatoes contain vitamin C and the capsicum in the peppers and chilies can help lower cravings for fatty or sweet foods.

See? You can have your chili and eat it too – it just has to have the right ingredients. Use lean ground turkey instead of beef and include as many fresh vegetables as you can. Mix a variety of beans into the pot such as kidney, black

Hot Health Tips

Don’t slack on the chili powder!

This spice is crazy healthful and has a ton of surprising benefits.

Fights fat Capsaicin is a compound found in chili powder that gives your metabolism a swift kick, which increases fat burning.

Anti-inflammatory Though it might feel like your tongue is on fire, chili powder actually helps decrease swelling in the joints and increases blood flow.

Helps eyesight Your eyes may water, but just one tablespoon of chili powder has 9 percent of the daily vitamin A you need. This essential nutrient improves eyesight and helps prevent macular degeneration.

May reduce symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease Chili powder has a good amount of iron that can increase hemoglobin production and improve blood flow, which both lead to improved brain function and a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

beans or pinto, and try to make your chili more bean-heavy than meat. Adding in whole grains can take your chili to the next level; try farro, barley or bulgur.

This will increase the fiber and keep you feeling full for longer!

Careful with the sodium.

It’s so easy for a recipe to pile up with salt. That’s why it’s recommended to use fresh vegetables, but if you’re going for canned, make sure your ingredients have no added salt. You can rinse canned beans before stirring them in to reduce sodium levels, as well.

any children dream of competing in the Olympics one day, but for Amere Glenn it’s becoming a reality. Now 11 years old, he has already competed – and placed – in track races at the Junior Olympics, and he keeps adding new sports and talents to his repertoire.

When he was 6 years old, Glenn’s speed was already evident on the soccer field. His parents, thinking he might enjoy it, signed him up for track, too.

While he was unfamiliar with the sport at first, he quickly fell in love with it.

Glenn has attended the Junior Olympics every year since he was 7.

Despite being in front of a crowd of thousands of people and competing against runners from across the nation, Glenn placed in the top 20 in the 1,500,

800 and 400-meter races at his first Junior Olympics.

“It was really fun. The competition was a lot faster,” Glenn says.

He continues to expand his abilities with different events every year. At 9 years old, for instance, he earned a bronze medal in a triathlon (shot put, high jump and 400 meters).

When asked about his biggest accomplishment, Glenn returns to his original love of running.

“Probably running a mile in five minutes and 30 seconds when I was 9,” Glenn says.

Glenn is now trying his hand at other sports as long as they allow him to run to his heart’s content. He puts in work for track, practicing four days a week, and loved playing football at school so much that he had his parents sign him up for the local team last year, where he unsurprisingly took on the positions of running back and wide receiver, the latter being his favorite. www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

ldrich Carr has made his way from the Springer School and Center in Cincinnati to another school dedicated to serving students who learn differently: New Albany’s very own Marburn Academy.

A reputable academy that has been serving central Ohio for 38 years, Marburn educates 300 students from first through 12th grade that come from 34 different districts.

“Marburn Academy was the first thing that brought me to New Albany. It was just a great opportunity to join a community that serves Marburn students so well, but also Columbus at large really well, too,” Carr says.

In his first 100 days, Carr plans to immerse himself in the Marburn Head of School Eldrich Carr community to get to know students, family, faculty and staff, and give dent growth, community, innovathem an opportunity to get to know tion, outreach, partnership with stuhim as well. dents’ families, and more.

Signed, Sealed, Drone-Delivered

Contactless delivery in times of COVID-19

T

he COVID-19 pandemic has sparked greater interest in the use of drones as an avenue for contactless delivery for many things, including essential medical supplies to doctors, health care workers and everyday citizens.

Drone delivery had been in development long before the pandemic began. For companies like Amazon, drone delivery wouldn’t just cut delivery times, it would reduce the amount of physical labor needed, too.

Drones have already been used in the healthcare industry and for disaster

www.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

aid, mostly outside of the United States.

For example, San Francisco-based drone delivery company Zipline is already at work in Africa reducing risk for people with chronic health conditions both during and prior to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Zipline delivers blood and medical supplies to hospitals and health centers in Rwanda and Ghana, and now wants to accelerate its plans for U.S. deliveries due to the pandemic. Other drone delivery companies and university researchers are looking at the U.S. market as well.

Government pushback

The Federal Aviation Administration has been strict in regard to drone usage in the country, placing strict regulations on what drone operators can and cannot do, and how they can and cannot fly.

John Walker, an aerospace consultant who spent 32 years at the FAA before opening up his own aerospace consulting firm, said in an article for NPR that public and governmental acceptance for drone delivery is likely to start with deliveries to hospitals.

This could allow more companies interested in drones to start delivering for 39

the health care sector, and perhaps also lead to the greater acceptance of drone deliveries outside of the medical field.

Drone delivery faces tougher pushback in the United States because of the nation’s already congested airspace.

So, the FAA is looking for something substantial to make the already-limited airspace real estate worthwhile.

“We haven’t seen the FAA be interested in a one-off approach,” says Susan Roberts, co-founder of AiRXOS, a General Electric subsidiary focused on drone infrastructure technology, in the same NPR article. “It doesn’t do anybody any good for a delivery company to be able to fly from two specific points if they can’t then scale that over and over again.”

Another roadblock to largely using drones for medical supply delivery is 40

the amount of regulation that would be needed for widespread drone usage.

“First, drones will eventually need the equivalent of transponders to integrate them into the national air control systems,” says John Coglianese, the former U.S. Special Operations Command director, in an article for online news website STAT. “Second, groundto-drone communications must be protected to prevent hackers from hijacking drones or using their data for nefarious purposes.”

Coglianese adds that using drones for essential purposes like medical supply delivery means that more issues need to be considered when planning to operate drones from long distances.

“Allowing drones to travel beyond the operator’s line of sight significantly

increases the complexity and cost of pilot-to-drone communications,” he says, “and, medical drones must be especially robust and capable of fulfilling missions far beyond what we in the U.S. currently expect of hobbyists’ drones.”

While the weight of drone traffic on airspace is daunting, the FAA may be more likely to approve drone traffic if it’s financially viable – and even more so if they have the possibility to deliver essential supplies to those who need it, particularly during the pandemic.

Possible impact

While widespread delivery of medical supplies via drone could still be quite a way off, the impact that the ability to deliver essential medicine, supwww.healthynewalbanymagazine.com

plies and lab materials to patients in need could be massive.

In the wake of the pandemic, drone delivery could mean that areas with large spikes in cases, or areas that are remote and far from hospital care could have necessary supplies and even lab work done, should people living in those areas fall ill.

Also, people who are especially at risk for COVID-19 could get their medical supplies delivered in a contactless way. Furthermore, in-need hospitals could request supplies from other hospitals that may have the essential PPE in more abundance. “We are stocking a whole bunch of COVID-19 products and delivering them to hospitals and health facilities, whenever they need them instantly,â€? says Zipline co-founder and CEO Keller Rinaudo in an article for CNN Business. “Suddenly there’s a dramatic need to extend the reach of the hospital network and health care closer to where people live ‌ you can do that via instant delivery services.â€?

Some argue that, regardless of the potential impact of an increase in U.S. drone usage, any risk associated with that is greatly outweighed by how important it could be to have drone-delivered medical supplies during the current pandemic.

Robotics expert and University of Sheffield professor Noel Sharkey says in an article from the BBC that it could be possible to increase drone usage temporarily during the pandemic, and scale back after the COVID-19 crisis. “In a global pandemic everything changes,� Sharkey says. “Rules and laws need to be manipulated and restrictions lifted to enable the use of all possible technological advantages to save large numbers of lives.

The problem of course is how to wind back the clock on tech once we are out of the COVID-19 crisis.�

Join Healthy New Albany’s effort against COVID-19

T

he world as we know it has changed. Realistically, we don’t have any idea when or if things will return to normal. In these uncertain and trying times, it’s important to be optimistic.

In one of his press conferences, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said, “We should not live our lives in fear.

What we should be is what Ohioans have always been, and that is optimistic about the future. Remember: We all control our destiny. What we do in the next 30 days depends on what everyone does today.”

We here at Healthy New Albany believe that our community has the ability, knowledge, fortitude and compassion needed to work together and help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the primary route of transmission for COVID-19 is through the inhalation of respiratory droplets containing the virus and close contact with those infected. Wearing a face

mask can decrease the number of respiratory droplets that you inhale, but, more importantly, you greatly reduce the number of respiratory droplets expelled from your own mouth and nose that could then infect others. This is why the recent statewide mask order has gone into effect.

We support this order and encourage you to listen and partake. We also encourage you to share our new effort, Mask Up New Albany. It is now required that everyone wear a mask in public including outdoor spaces when appropriate social distancing cannot be guaranteed. Mask Up New Albany aims to amplify this message and educate the public on why it is important.

If we all work together in this effort and couple it with maintaining proper social distancing and regular hand washing or sanitizing, we can reduce the spread in our community and others.

It is on all of us to protect our neighbors and protect ourselves.
