🎭Artist of the Month: New Albany Middle School Young Artists Dazzled The Community with Sold Out Shows

Last month, our community had the pleasure of witnessing New Albany's inaugural production of "Guys and Dolls Jr.," artfully presented by the talented New Albany Middle School Theatre Department. Under the expert direction and choreography of Ms. Melissa Gould, this remarkable production showcased the dedication and creativity of the students involved. The show ran eight performances over the course of one weekend, with most of the performances selling out, a testament to the enthusiasm and support from the local community.

Held within the inviting confines of the McCoys Mershad Theater, the production created an immersive experience that transported the audience into the vibrant and whimsical world of the musical. The cast and crew, composed of dedicated students, worked tirelessly to bring the beloved characters and lively scenes to life, demonstrating not only their talent but also their commitment to the performing arts. From the engaging musical numbers to the dynamic choreography, every aspect of the production reflected the hard work and passion of the young performers. The success of "Guys and Dolls Jr." has not only highlighted the exceptional capabilities of our middle school students but has also fostered a sense of pride and connection within the New Albany community.

The next exciting chapter for our outstanding NAMS theater will be participating in MTI’s Junior Theater Festival in January. Following this remarkable event, this talented troupe will shift their focus to preparing for "Annie Jr.," set to take the main McCoy stage this spring. We here at STROLL Magazine look forward to witnessing the continued growth and creativity of these amazing students from our community in these upcoming productions!

🩰Around Town: New Albany Children’s Ballet Theatre Hosts Fundraising Gala Benefitting Local Youth Performers

Over 300 local children took the stage at the McCoy Center for the Arts in seven performances of The Nutcracker over the first two weekends in December. For the second year in a row, the New Albany Children's Ballet Theatre featured a fundraising Gala before the opening night performance on Friday, December 6th. The formal affair seeks to raise money for the not-for-profit organization whose mission is to create an inclusive environment where children can grow and connect with the community through classical ballet performances, wellness education and student-led philanthropy.

The New Albany Children’s Ballet Theatre, which was founded in 2003, provides opportunities to perform for children as young as 5 years old who are currently studying ballet. Tara Miller, the Artistic Director for NACBT, said that “Children between the ages of five and ten are automatically cast in age-appropriate roles. Beginning at age ten, children audition for different parts but every child is guaranteed at least one role each year.”

Four young women and one young man have been cast in lead roles this year. Lucy Naumoff, junior at New Albany High School, and Ellie Rotthoff, a junior at Gahanna Lincoln High School, will share the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy across all performances. Naumoff is a student writer for Stroll magazine and NACC resident. Gabby Testa, a 9th grader at Bishop Hartley High School and NACC member, and Sloane Szabo, a seventh grader in Worthington, will perform the role of Clara, while Clara’s brother Fritz will be played by Stanley J*p, a fifth grader. All of the dancers train at New Albany Ballet Company, some dancing since as young as age two. The cast also includes a professional male dancer, Simon Squires, who will dance the role of the Nutcracker.

👁Health & Wellness: How to keep your eyes healthy

It’s been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. I don’t know about that, but it is true that we only have two eyes that have to last an entire lifetime.

Last week, I met Gale. Gale lost her eyesight at age 54, due to a rare eye disease. Her story is inspiring, and it motivates me to protect my eyesight. But how?

I researched and found some ways to improve the health of my eyes. My sources for this advice are Web MD and Healthline.com.

🥕Eat well. (Eating well comes up in pretty much every article I write). Specifically, eat green leafy veggies, orange and yellow produce for Vitamin A, increase omega 3s in salmon and tuna, eggs, and amp up your vitamin C in citrus, strawberries and kiwi.
🚫Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk of eye issues, including cataracts, macular degeneration and damage to your optic nerve (yikes)!
😎Wear sunglasses that protect from 99-100% of UVA/UVB rays.
📱Reduce eye strain caused by screens. If you wear corrective lenses, make sure your prescription is up to date. (Visit your eye doctor regularly) Position your screen so that your eyes are at the top of the monitor. You want to look slightly downward at the screen. Practice “20-20-20” breaks: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away, for at least 20 seconds.

There are also supplements on the market designed to support eye health. Ask your eye doctor for one that’s right for you.

Those baby blues (or browns, or hazels…) deserve a little attention to keep seeing clearly for years to come.

🐢Precious Pet: Mr. Snappy's Recue

Hello land dwellers, my name is Mr. Snappy and I am the reptilian Rooney! I was adopted in November of 2023 when Mrs. Rooney found me in her backyard. Far from any kind of pond or creek, my appearance is a bit of a mystery and at first, the Rooneys did not know what to do with me. It was too late in the season for me to survive on my own, especially that far from a pond and they did not want to leave me in a random creek as other snapping turtles can become incredibly territorial.

As a common snapping turtle, or a Cheldrya serpentina, my cousins and I are one of the largest species of turtle found in the Eastern and Midwestern United States. Looks wise, all of us have a large, rugged shell, long tails, and powerful jaws, but some shells can vary in color from dark brown to olive green. Our bottom shell, known as a plastron, is rather small compared to our overall sizes, looking a little bit silly for such a fierce creature. We prefer freshwater environments, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds, but the best spots are areas with plenty of vegetation and hiding spots.

We are omnivorous. A variety of food, including fish, amphibians, small mammals, and aquatic plants, all sound delicious to me. My cousins in the wild are even less picky, as they have to hunt for their food.

Turtles have been around for millions of years, and with your understanding and respect, I hope that we can all continue thriving in our shared world for generations to come. Next time you see a turtle—whether sunbathing on a log or gliding through the water—remember, there’s a whole world beneath that shell.

🖊Publisher’s Note

Reflect, Recharge, Renew in this Holiday Season

As the temperature continues to drop and we are in full swing with holiday decorating and plans I like to think of December as a month when we naturally slow down, seek warmth and create space for the people, places and traditions that ground us. From the glow of candlelight to the joy of a homecooked meal, this season is an invitation to nurture ourselves and our connections with others giving us a chance to reflect on what matters most.

This season can also be a time for resetting –clearing out the old energy and making room for new hopes and dreams. There’s something uniquely comforting about this time – the way the world quiets down and invites us to be fully present, in the moment.

At the same time, December reminds us to look ahead with hope and possibility. This trip around the sun may be coming to a close, but it’s also a beautiful reminder of the endless potential the new one holds. And while we may celebrate in different ways, this festive season truly unites us, encouraging connection, with family, friends and our community.

I hope you enjoy your December issue of Stroll New Albany Country Club Communities. I would like to thank our many sponsors and welcome our new sponsors and encourage you to reach out to them when the need arises.

We invite you to share your own stories with us. Whether it’s an athlete’s dedication, an artist’s passion, a young volunteer’s impact or everyday moments that define real life. We would love to hear your story. Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas at [email protected].

From all of us at Stroll New Albany Country Club Communities, thank you for being part of our community –for sharing your stories, your energy and your families with us. Here’s to a December full of intention, love and renewal…and to a new chapter brimming with possibilities.

Sincerely,
Lori

🦃New Albany Gives Back: Thanks For Giving 4-Miler Celebrates 10 Years!

This Thanksgiving Day will mark the 10th run of the Thanks For Giving 4-Miler in New Albany, and organizers hope it will be the largest one yet! While the race was much smaller in number of participants back in 2014 when the race began, it shared the same purpose of bringing the community together to help those in need. Throughout the years, the number of participants has increased dramatically with more than 3,000 participants last year.

100% of the net proceeds are donated to three local non-profit organizations such as LifeCare Alliance, the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, and The New Albany Thanksgiving Day fund at the New Albany Community Foundation. Over the past ten years the run has been able to donate over $800,000 to these beneficiaries and race organizers are excited to add to this total through this year’s event.

Another tradition that will carry on, and which makes this race very unique and special, is that there is no official race fee to enter. Participants can give as much or as little as they want when they register each year. The Presenting Sponsor of the race, Morgan Stanley, has for multiple years now led by example through providing essential funds that allow the race to donate all its net proceeds to its beneficiaries while also contributing toward the total funds provided to charity.

This year’s race will begin at Market Square in New Albany on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2024 at 8:30 am (kids race begins at 8:15 am). Everyone is welcome whether you are a competitive runner, jogger, walker, or stroller wanting to enjoy time with friends and loved ones! Go to www.narun.org for more details on registering, donating, or volunteering to this great local cause celebrating 10 years in New Albany!
