It’s About You

uring one of my workouts, I mentioned to my training partner that the pace of entries for this year’s New Albany Walking Classic was astounding. I indicated that registrations were running (walking?) ahead of last year’s pace by over 100 percent, and that if he had friends he wanted to see participate, he should make them aware of an impending sellout. After our workout, as we went through our cooldown routine, he turned to me and said, “Phil, are you insane. You know that people always wait until the last minute to register for races, and rule of thumb dictates that the longer you wait to register, the higher the entry fee. Don’t you realize that you are losing lots of money by selling out so early?” I feel that often, people do not understand the philosophy and mission behind what has now become the largest walk of its kind in the country. The New Albany Walking Classic does not have a goal: Let’s make money. Rather, we want to provide a venue within which people can walk for health and/or competition. And we want to accomplish our mission by charging the lowest entry fee necessary to conduct the Walking Classic and, at the same time, providing our participants with the best perks of any run or walk in the country. We are able to accomplish our mission for two reasons. One, the Walking Classic is a grassroots effort organized and conducted by volunteers. We have no offices, corporate phones or paid race leadership. Second, we have very generous and caring partners led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, our Presenting Sponsor. Our sponsors are extremely integral to our success. On Sept. 8, walk on – and be sure to thank our volunteers and sponsors. Their goal is to make the Walk all about you. Healthfully, Phil Heit Event Director New Albany Walking Classic
Race Sponsors Without great sponsors, the New Albany Walking Classic would just be considered “another race.” But the Classic is not just a race – it is an event. It is ongoing. It provides participants with the best value of any similar event held anywhere in the country. And most importantly, the Classic provides a venue for ongoing training through the New Albany Walking Club, with the mission of promoting health through walking, whether for competition or for recreation.

hen people picture New Albany, many picture its architecture, attention to detail and white fences. While these features are visually evident, New Albanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best trait as a community is the friendly nature of residents who freely share their talents. This combination of engagement, warmth, beauty and connectivity recently stood out to earn New Albany recognition as the No. 1 central Ohio suburb.

Life in New Albany is anchored by the Village Center, our social, educational and cultural core. This pedestrian-friendly area is home to restaurants, coffee shops, government offices, the library, the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts and, soon, the New Albany Center for Community Health. Ground will be broken for this facility later this year, with completion of the project expected in 2014. At the Center will be a blend of personalized medicine, health-related fitness and community activities that will help make New Albany a national model for healthy communities. Partners in the project include The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Nationwide Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital and Healthy New Albany, a local organization that has or-
ganically connected thousands of people through its initiatives. 'SPN UIF UPXOIPNFT BOE TJOHMF GBNJMZ homes in our Village Center to grand estates offering pristine views, New Albany combines the style and sophistication of modern life amenities with the charm of the country. You can see it in our neighborhoods, our roads and our landscape, which includes 1,500 acres of public and private green space and more than 77 miles of leisure trails and sidewalks. The New Albany-Plain Local School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200-acre learning campus is unique in that all school activities and grade levels are synergized into one location. District leaders benchmark with the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest-performing schools, and New Albany High School consistently ranks among the best public schools in the United States. More than 97 percent of students advance to college, but district leaders understand that academics is just one facet of preparing students for post-scholastic success. This is why other educational focuses include developing ethical, self-directed and intellectually curious citizens of the world. The New Albany Business Park was literally an idea in a cornfield just 15 short years ago, but it has blossomed into a 3,000-acre business park with three highway interchanges, dual-feed electric power and a stateof-the-art municipal broadband network that can save users as much as 30 percent off their fiber-optic needs. Our shovel-ready, technology-ready campus and our ability to expedite the planning www.cityscenecolumbus.com

process by engaging all of the project partners continue to earn praise from site selectors, developers, contractors, facilities managers and operations teams. Because we move at the speed of business, our park now represents more than $1.3 billion in committed private investment and more than 12,000 jobs – not a small accomplishment for a community with 8,000 residents. Business partners include Abercrombie & 'JUDI "FUOB %JTDPWFS 'JOBODJBM Services, Tween Brands, The Limited, AEP, Accel and Bob Evans. No matter the department, New Albany’s city staff is committed to a high level of customer service. Our police officers routinely conduct vacation checks for residents and coordinate a vast array of community outreach. Our Public Service crews also adhere to green efforts and sustainability, with more than 75 percent of the fleet using bio-diesel fuel. Summer and autumn are great seasons to visit New Albany, with major events such as the Taste of New Albany, PelotoOJB " ' $IBMMFOHF /FX "MCBOZ 8BMLing Classic, New Albany Classic & Grand Prix taking place in August and September.

New Albany’s ambitious wellness center is unlike any other #Z (BSUI #JTIPQ
A
forthcoming major addition to New Albany’s offerings will reflect the community’s steadfast focus on health and wellness. The New Albany Center for Community Wellness is set to break ground this summer and is scheduled to open up shop in 2014 in the city’s Village Center, across the street from Village Hall. The one-of-a-kind project – combining fitness, community activities and person-
alized medicine into one 54,000-squarefoot building – is a joint effort of the city of New Albany, Healthy New Albany and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “Everything that happens in the community from the perspective of health will emanate from the … wellness center,” says Healthy New Albany founder Phil Heit. The city owns the building, with OSU leasing more than 70 percent of the space. About 7,000 square feet of first-floor community space will be overseen by Healthy New Albany. Clinical applications – most of them OSU’s, with some being administered by Nationwide Children’s Hospital – will take up the second floor. OSU’s brand of personalized health care, which will play a major role in its offerings at the center, is called P4 Medicine: Predictive, Preventive, Personalized and Participatory. It boils down to customized health assessments for every patient using all of the many resources available to OSU, placing a heavy emphasis on prevention as opposed to rehabilitation and on connecting a patient’s health and well46 cityscene s July 2013

There will also be a research component to better determine patients’ individual needs and ways to deliver the necessary services, and to provide the community with the best new health assessments and program. Nationwide Children’s will provide pediatric orthopedics, sports physical therapy, therapeutic massage, radiology and laboratory services, and health education programs. On the first floor will be an OSU fitness center managed by Integrated Wellness www.cityscenecolumbus.com

Discussions are ongoing to determine other uses of the community space, which could include a demonstration kitchen, a multipurpose activity room and health-related retail.

“The great thing about the center is it’s going to serve our entire community – it’s going to serve our residents, it’s going to serve the businesses in our business park,” says New Albany Public Information Officer Scott McAfee. “It’s really going to be a destination place for anyone who lives or works in our community.”

The project is a $12.5 million investment, and though the building is owned by the city, its partnerships with OSU and Healthy New Albany will keep the project from being a burden on taxpayers. The city will sell bonds to build it, but the leases will pay them off, and building personnel will not be a cost issue either. “We’re not hiring staff to manage this facility,” McAfee says. “The activities inside it are going to be managed by Healthy New Albany.” Though it will be months yet before the center is ready to open, it’s already having an effect on the area. A 30,000-square-foot building filled with a mix of retail, office and medical space is slated to go in nearby, with Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers already announced as one of the tenants.
