From Field to Kitchen Former White Sox player becomes healthy eating restaurateur

After four years, in 2018, Schroeder retired from the White Sox. “I was at a point where I’d seen people chase the dream in baseball,” he says. “With where I was with my age, I felt it was time to move on to the next chapter of my life.”

Career Catcher Growing up in Lima, Schroeder had always loved baseball. In high school, he realized it was something he could make a career out of. As Schroeder graduated from high school in 2012, Baseball America ranked him the 14th best player in Ohio. That year, he was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals but declined the offer and chose to attend college instead. In 2014, he was drafted again by the Oakland A’s but stayed for his senior year at Coastal Carolina University to continue honing his skills. Coastal Carolina College lists his batting average as a .394 for his final season. Finally, in 2015, Schroeder accepted an offer after being drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the eighth round of the MLB draft. He went on to play for four years with the White Sox’s minor league teams, ending with the organization’s Class AA affiliate team, the Birmingham Barons – that put him at the second-highest level of play in Minor League Baseball.

fter four years in professional baseball, Casey Schroeder settled in to Grandview to pursue a new career endeavor: restaurant owner. Following his career as a catcher for Chicago White Sox minor league teams, he wanted a new opportunity to step up to the plate. This time, he’s promoting healthy foods as a Clean Eatz franchisee.

That passion had given him searched for a new career that aligned a strong interest in wellness and healthy with his values. He had a true passion for eating. sports, not just baseball, as a collegiate Schroeder first got an idea for his football and basketball player in addition post-baseball career during an offseason.

Clean Eatz location. His Clintonville restaurant opened in October 2018. He says his career in professional sports instilled in him the value of hard work. That work ethic has proven directly transferable from the baseball diamond to the board room. Or, more often, the kitchen. “I’m the kind of person who likes to put in the work and reap the benefits of that,” he says. “I thought I could do that in a business career, so I made that decision and didn’t look back.” Opening a business franchise is no easy undertaking, though. Schroeder says he was constantly discovering what he could do better and how the business could be more effective. “Early on, even though we were successful, we were inefficient, and had no real brand presence in the area,” Schroeder says. “It took a lot of long hours and hitting the pavement, but I feel as though we have established ourselves as the go-to place for health and wellness in the Columbus area, and the best place for those looking to make healthier changes in their lives.” His discoveries proved effective. Schroeder has since opened locations in Dublin and New Albany. “The lessons I’ve learned over the last three years have allowed me to get to where I am today,” he says. Schroeder says he is looking forward to continuing to promote healthy foods that aren’t boring through his restaurants around central Ohio.
Schroeder at one of his Clean Eatz franchises.
He spent those months living in Myrtle Beach to train and finish school. A strength coach recommended he try Clean Eatz to help maintain good eating habits. Schroeder quickly became a fan and took an interest in one day opening a franchise. A national franchise, Clean Eatz focuses on healthy eating through natural foods. Its recipes utilize vegetables, fruits and whole grains. The menu features items such as wings, nachos and burgers that are all restructured and portioncontrolled to provide healthy, nutrientrich meals. By providing meal plans and made-to-order options, Clean Eatz strives to provide people with the tools necessary to live a healthy lifestyle.
Eat healthy at home! Schroeder’s Nashville Chicken Mac and Cheese recipe provides both a healthy and flavorful meal. Through portion control and the use of ingredients with lower amounts of grain, sugar, salts and unhealthy fats, this meal is under 400 calories. July/August 2022 • www.trivillagemagazine.com
Identifying with that mission, Schroeder quickly became a regular at the Myrtle Beach location. “The food fit my goals for my athletic career,” he says. “(Clean Eatz) shares my passions of fitness, health and wellness. Healthy food doesn’t have to be boring.” After retiring from baseball, Schroeder moved to Grandview to be closer to his sister, then in school at The Ohio State Megan Roth is an assistant editor at University, and friends. There, he took CityScene Media Group. Feedback welcome the opportunity to open Columbus’ first at mroth@cityscenemediagroup.com.

A Lifetime of Things To Do There’s plenty to do in the Tri-Village area for older adults By Cameron Carr and Mariah Muhammad

M
ary Bova-Ervin is always impressed with her dance students. She first came to Grandview Heights as a professional dancer in the early 1980s but soon found herself in front of the class rather than within it, teaching line dancing to students predominantly between the ages of 50 and 80. But her students’ ages don’t mean they’re any less dedicated or enthusiastic. “They’re very energetic; they don’t let age get in the way,” Bova-Ervin says. “I’m very proud that they don’t want to say, ‘Oh, we’re older now. We can’t do stuff,’ because they can kick it up.” Throughout the Tri-Village area, older adults find ways to stay active physically, mentally and socially. That can mean anything from dance classes and history lessons to travel and more.
A Place to Call Home Both Grandview and Upper Arlington have spaces and services dedicated to older adults through the cities’ parks and recreation departments.
The spaces are similar in the range of activities they offer. At the Grandview Center, a typical month might offer clubs for books and card games, exercise classes spanning from chair yoga to heavy free

weights and movie nights. Upper Arlington’s Senior Center includes many similar offerings as well as billiards, history classes and art programs. And these offerings are anything but dated – visitors can enjoy Wii Sports bowling at the Grandview Center or take iPhone classes at Upper Arlington’s Senior Center.
July/August 2022 • www.trivillagemagazine.com
The programs don’t just keep participants busy. In fact, these offerings are vital to helping Tri-Village older adults stay active, social and connected as they advance into their retirement years. “I do a lot of things at 76 years old that a lot of people can’t do,” says Jeff Ridgway, a retired car dealership manager. “When I
retired that’s what I was really afraid of – becoming a couch potato.” Though not typically his type of activity, Ridgway says line dancing classes were what first brought him to the Upper Arlington Senior Center. Previously overseeing 80-some people at work, line dancing gave him back the relationships and connections he’d been missing. Ridgway has been able to keep his social life flourishing through the senior center’s personal trainers, yoga classes, movies and other activities. Many older adults are searching for that sense of community when they consider activities and programs to participate in. Upper Arlington Recreation Manager Patrick Monaghan says that’s one of the main draws for many visitors to the local senior center. “This is a special place for our membership,” he says. “It’s really seen as a second home for many of them. They can come and be with their friends; it’s just a great social atmosphere.” The centers are a valuable place to build meaningful friendships. Annie Wei-

leacher, a retired sous chef, says she’s even found vacation buddies through the Upper Arlington Senior Center. “I come alone,” she says. “But then, once I walk through the door, my friends are here.”

All About Community Weileacher, who grew up in Upper Arlington and returned after nearly three decades living elsewhere, says that the broader community is an important part of what makes the Tri-Village area welcoming to older adults. She appreciates both the feeling that the city cares for residents of all ages and its intimate atmosphere. “It’s such a close knit (community),” she says. “You can walk to a lot of places.” It helps that there’s plenty to do in the area beyond community centers. Grandview Heights Recreation Superintendent Taylor Tobias says that older adults enjoy the area’s 45 acres of parks and green spaces and events hosted around the community, such as the Grandview Heights Public Library’s Music on the Lawn series.

Thanksgiving and Christmas often bring together as many as 100 older adults. A similar range of attractions in Upper Arlington stands out to Monaghan. “There are a lot of things happening in the community,” Monaghan says. “It’s a community that really supports the older adult residents and that really impressed me when I first came here.” Ridgway says he enjoys community events such as Labor Neighbor Day and the Upper Arlington Civic Association’s Fourth of July Celebration. He also volunteers and likes taking nature walks. He certainly doesn’t feel limited to his immediate surroundings. Ridgway loves to travel, especially internationally, though he’s stuck to stateside trips on his motorcycle in recent times. Last summer, he rode it on a trip to Glacier National Park in Montana. “I pushed it for my age and my stamina,” Ridgway says. “But I’m glad I did.” Mariah Muhammad is an editorial assistant and Cameron Carr is an editor at CityScene Media Group.

here’s something magical about being out in nature. Watching flowers grow back after a cold winter or hearing birds chirp tunefully from branches above evokes a desire to explore and relax. At Smith Nature Park, there’s something else magical going on though: Fairy gardens dot the landscape, adding pops of color and wonder to the nature scenery. The first fairies moved into the Upper Arlington park after local resident Lauren Wilson discovered the Wildflower Fairy Trail in Granville’s Infirmary Mound Park. Wilson reached out to Upper Arlington Parks and Recreation about creating a habitat for fairies in UA. She proposed the creation of a fairy garden could help to circumvent the isolation that many felt early durThe Smith Nature Park fairy garden took inspiration from a fairy ing the COVID-19 pandemic. trail in Granville’s Infirmary Mound Park.
ementary, even provided an expert video demonstrating how visitors can contribute. Smith, located at 1270 Fishinger Rd., is one of the smaller and lesser-known parks in UA, according to Coughlin. It’s an ideal spot for the gardens though, as the creek and dense tree line provide a habitat naturally favorable to the fairies. As the garden has grown, building a fairy home has become a way for residents to interact with the parks and a unique way to stay active during the summer months. “It’s a fun thing where everyone can get together and do a craft or activity,” Coughlin says. “It offers a nice opportunity for families to get out on a Saturday

Residents can build their own fairy houses to interact with the park.
As pandemic regulations started to lift, residents were eager to know if the garden would be coming back with the warmer weather. The parks and recreation department decided to continue that tradition, encouraging residents to build their own fairy houses to add to the collection at Smith. “We really felt like there was an appetite for people to be able to do that with COVID numbers the way they were,” says Kathleen Coughlin, the recreation supervisor for Upper Arlington Parks and Recreation. “(We) encourage people to go to our parks and get outside and be with friends or family in a safe way.” The department has promoted the fairy garden on social media, and Coughlin’s son, Cooper, a student at Tremont ElJuly/August 2022 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

n December 2018, two Grandview Heights High School freshmen – Tyler Schmied and Harvey Pierce – came to science teacher Caleb Evans to ask if he would be the adviser for their new Model United Nations Club. “I had just seen representations of it in, you know, common media,” says Schmied, who served as secretary general of the club in his senior year. “We thought that sounded really fun but also something that, like, we could take a little bit more seriously.” Evans agreed and two months later, the team was off to its first competition at the Ohio State University Model United Nations – hosted by The Ohio State

University’s Model UN group, Collegiate Council on World Affairs. In hindsight, Evans says, the competition may have been premature for the young team, but the group has come a long way since then. This year, competing at the National High School Model United Nations Conference (NHSMUN) in New York City for the first time, the team earned first and third place in the conference’s two team award categories. “My main thing from day one has been I want this to be student-ran,” Evans says. “They’ve done such a phenomenal job of taking this over, particularly in the last year.” Cody Allen, an incoming senior at GHHS and the under secretary general of Delegate Affairs and Crisis Team leader, says he first heard about the club as an eighth-grader when the club was in its first year. “I’ve always been interested in politics and government when I was young,” he July/August 2022 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

says. “I thought it’d be a great opportunity to sort of express myself that way, and when I joined the club, I was able to get that fulfillment.” For the trip to NHSMUN in New York City, which was supported by a grant from the Grandview Heights Marble Cliff Education Foundation, students began preparing for their assignments months in advance. “It was honestly a lot of fun,” says club member Sabrina Li, an incoming junior. “I really got to make a lot of new friends and we all are such great debaters.” Allen was part of the Food and Agricultural Organization and represented Uganda alongside Carter Black, chief of staff for the club. Schmied, who represented the director of the policia nacional in Colombia during the conference, says participating in the event felt like an affirmation of all the hard work club members had put into the group over the last few years. “It was really super satisfying, I guess, just to know that we got a team to nationals,” he says. “It felt like a culmination of everything we had started four years ago.” NHSMUN presents two awards to high school students: the Award of Distinction for research and preparation and the Award of Merit for committee performance.

A grant from the Grandview Heights Marble Cliff Education Foundation funded the trip to the New York City conference.
Individually, each of the students participate in a variety of different committees or crisis teams. GHHS students spread across six committees. Two pairs of GHHS students – Cody Allen and Carter Black, and Maria Ionno and Vivian Chute – were also recognized, among 30 total individuals or pairs of students. All four of those students spoke at the conference’s closing ceremony. “I was really nervous but me and Carter were able to get the speech done,” Allen says. “Words can’t describe how amazing it was going up there and speaking in front of people.” Allen and Black also received Top Delegate awards, Evans says.
home first and third place honors, respectively, Evans says. “I knew they were phenomenal; I told them they were phenomenal,” he says. “For them to be recognized on the world stage and get to hear that from somebody else, I think that was really important and really valuable.” Though the team consists of only nine members, Li says having a small team makes for a more close-knit experience. The returning members are excitedly preparing for their next season. The team is already beginning fundraising opportunities and planning the itinerary for next year’s New York conference. Li says they also hope to attend Model UN conferences in Chicago and at Harvard University next school year. Chloe McGowan is an editorial assistant at CityScene Media Group.

Heart of the Home Family makes space for cooks in the kitchen at Marble Cliff home
M
ore than two years ago, Mike and Debra Hoelzle agreed they weren’t satisfied with their Grandview home. To make matters more challenging, renovating the old home was out of the question. The solution, then, was to move, and they were in luck: they found another home in the area that better fit their lifestyle. Namely, the new home had the bigger kitchen they craved, and it offered an excellent foundation to build upon. “The kitchen was almost a blank canvas to start,” Mike says. They wasted no time getting started. In fact, the Hoelzles began to renovate before even moving in. Contracting with Haus Studio Designs, the couple appreciated a number

of ideas the company proposed for improvements to the home. Flooring on the ground level was replaced and some minor work was done in the bathroom, but the bulk of the project focused on the kitchen. Debra says the couple wanted a kitchen layout that allowed for at least two people to move around and handle tasks like cooking and cleaning without bumping into each other. “We wanted to be able to cook and clean dishes in the kitchen while having our kids in the same room,” Mike says. Central to the expansion, Haus removed a load-bearing wall that separated the old dining room from a galley kitchen to merge the two spaces. The July/August 2022 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

new supports are covered in wood to blend into the design. The open space made room for a large island to serve as the center of the room. The kitchen now has space for the Hoelzle children to do homework while the parents handle chores and cook. There’s also plenty of cabinet space so that countertops can be kept tidy, especially important to Debra, who doesn’t like clutter. That also means their Skara Brae countertops are always on full display. The additional counter space also aids in hosting gatherings and preparing or serving a number of plates at once. With a 60-inch fridge and freezer – neatly tucked in line with the cabinetry – and a 48-inch dual-fuel range, the kitchen is built for entertaining. It doesn’t hurt that there’s easy access to the outdoor pool from the kitchen, allowing for family and friends to move freely between the two spaces. The new space perfectly reflects the Hoelzles’ lifestyle – it mixes practicality with heart. “The kitchen is the heart of the home,” she says.

Prep a full meal at the farmers market Photos courtesy of Happy Belly Baker

More than just Wednesdays, May 18-Oct. 26 a great way to spend a beautiful 4-7 p.m. evening, the Upper Arlington Farmers Market can be a onestop shop for all the ingredients you need for dinner in place Happy Belly Baker’s take on a cosmic brownie and an oatmeal cream pie.
of a conventional grocery store. Not only are you shopping local, but many of the products come right from the vendors’ backyards. The farmers market converges nearly 30 vendors each Wednesday, May 18-Oct. 26, from 4-7 p.m. to the Tremont Pool parking lot, 2850 Tremont Rd., rain or shine. The UA Farmers Market plays host to such a wide range of vendors, it’s easy to source an entire meal from the market without stepping foot in a big box store. Fresh vegetables can be paired with meats or pasta, spices and sauces add flavor to any dish, and breads or desserts complete the meal. Charles Payne, co-owner of Covey Rise Farms, says that he enjoys adding chicken raised from his farm to a salad for a fresh, seasonal meal. “In the summertime, we’re usually running a mile a second and it’s usually hot,” Payne says. “We really like taking either our chicken breast or chicken tenders and marinating them and grilling them into making a homemade chicken Caesar salad.” If you want to make the chicken the star of the meal, try a sauce or spice blend from Double Comfort to add some seasoning and flavor. Pair that with sweet corn or green beans from Darby Valley Farms to create the perfect summer barbecue meal. To wash it all down, try either the strawberry mint or blueberry lavender kombucha from LITT Kombucha. Don’t forget to stop by Happy Belly Baker to add the cherry on top of a perfect meal. Robin Hayes, founder of Happy Belly Baker, recommends her take on a cosmic brownie or an oatmeal cream pie. 26

A Farmers Market Meal Plan: • Bread from Crust x Crumb Bakehouse • Kombucha from LITT Kombucha • Vegetables and produce from Darby Valley Farms • Sauce from Double Comfort • Chicken from Covey Rise Farms • Flowers from Owl’s Nest Garden • Cosmic brownies or oatmeal cream pies from Happy Belly Baker
Like many of the vendors, Hayes runs her business out of her home. “It’s a good opportunity to not only get fresh produce and handmade items, whether it be food or, you know, other little trinkets that people come to farmers markets to sell,” she says. “But you’re also supporting local vendors.” But the farmers market doesn’t just have to be a feast for the stomach. Top off your table with a beautiful centerpiece at Owl’s Nest Garden, where you can pick up a bouquet of flowers for the evening.

By Chelsea Weissman, Grandview Heights Public Library Children’s Librarian Grandpa and Me
by Karen Katz (ages 0-2) This lift-the-flap board book tells the story of a baby and grandpa getting ready to make a pizza. The reader gets to lift a flap on every other page to look for what the duo needs to find or do next. The chef’s hat is in the closet; Grandpa’s favorite spoon is behind the eggs; and when the pizza dough is in the air, the flap reveals it is above their heads. I like how the illustrations show that each step of making the pizza is a team effort and how joyful both baby and grandpa look together.
Bisa’s Carnaval
by Joana Pastro (ages 3-6)
A little girl named Clara is learning about Carnaval, the exciting holiday that happens all over Brazil, from her great grandmother, or bisa. The two shop for fabric to make a beautiful costume for Clara, her sisters and cousins, and Clara and her family gather supplies that are sparkly, colorful and fun. Carnaval arrives and everyone is excited by the parade, the dancing and singing, and the socializing. Bisa is not able to join in the festivities because she can’t walk very quickly, so Clara leads everyone to Bisa’s house so they can bring Carnaval to her. The author’s and illustrator’s notes at the end are helpful to learn more about Carnaval in Brazil and how it is celebrated differently in different regions. There is also a glossary of the Portuguese words sprinkled throughout the story. Thinker: My Puppy Poet and Me by Eloise Greenfield (ages 4-10)
Young Jace and his family have just adopted a puppy from the neighbors across the street. Trying to decide what to name him, the puppy announces that he is deep and a poet, so a cute name will not suffice. Jace is a poet too and decides Thinker is the right name for the newest member of the family. Each poem moves the story along: from introducing other
Grandview Heights Public Library www.ghpl.org 30
members of the family and spending time with Thinker’s twin brother from across the street to Thinker finally being allowed to go to school with Jace for Pets’ Day. Thinker tries to follow the rule of not talking but can’t help but recite a funny poem. Soon, the other visiting pets show off their abilities to dance, sing opera and walk upside down. This is a fun book of a few types of poetry throughout and each poem is accompanied by beautiful paper collage illustrations by Ehsan Abdollahi.
When You Trap a Tiger by Tae Keller (grades 4-6)
Lily is about to enter seventh grade and is moving from California to Washington with her mom and sister, Sam, to live with their sick halmoni, or grandmother. Their halmoni has always told fascinating Korean stories about tigers, magic and more. When Lily sees a tiger on the way to her halmoni’s house, she knows it is some sort of sign. Lily is desperate to heal her halmoni, so she makes a deal with the tiger when it appears to her again. The deal goes a little differently than Lily anticipates, and she learns a lot about her halmoni and the rest of her family throughout the story. This magical realism middle-grade novel touches on many themes such as loss, grief, family relationships, making new friends and identity. When You Trap a Tiger won the 2021 Newbery Medal.
Alone
by Megan E. Freeman (grades 7-12)
Twelve-year-old Maddie’s plan of having a secret sleepover at her grandparents’ summer apartment with her friends doesn’t go as planned and she ends up staying there alone. She wakes up to discover that everyone has been evacuated from the state of Colorado and forced to surrender their cell phones, so she has no way of reaching her parents who each think she is with the other parent. She is alone until she discovers a rottweiler next door, named George, who has been abandoned in the evacuation process. With George by her side, she is a little less afraid but must figure out what to do and how to survive as the days turn into months. The story progresses quickly as Maddie faces natural disasters, wild animals and loneliness.
