✨Sponsor Spotlight: Mister Sparky of Greater Columbus – Your Neighborhood Electricians

Meet your friendly neighborhood electrician, Mister Sparky of Greater Columbus . Owners Christian and Mandy Feisel, the heart and soul behind Mister Sparky, live right around the corner in Hampsted Village and bring a spark of trust, family values, and community connection to New Albany. Married for 24 years, this dynamic duo, along with their three daughters, Gabriella, Olivia, and Ava, are building more than just an electrical business; they’re creating a legacy of service rooted in the place they’ve called home for over 11 years.

After years of Christian’s corporate career demanding extensive travel, the Feisels sought a way to prioritize family while doing meaningful work. With Christian’s expertise in Electrical Engineering and Mandy’s deep community ties, they saw an opportunity to blend their strengths. In June 2024, they launched Mister Sparky of Greater Columbus, a locally owned franchise backed by a national brand, but infused with New Albany’s small-town spirit.

What sets Mister Sparky apart? It’s their commitment to treating every customer like a neighbor. Licensed, insured, and known for reliability, they combine professional expertise with a personal touch. From their on-time guarantee to leaving homes safer than they found them, the Feisels ensure every job builds trust.

Living in New Albany, the Feisels understand the community’s unique blend of tradition and progress. Many residents in well-established neighborhoods seek to modernize while preserving their home’s charm. Mister Sparky specializes in EV charger installations, upgraded lighting, full-home surge protection, service repairs, and smart home features: solutions that fit the lifestyle of growing families and forward-thinking homeowners.

Mister Sparky is more than a business, it’s a way to serve the community they love.

🎬Around Town: NAHS 50th Production under director Elliott Lemberg takes stage this Summer!

When Shakespeare in Love takes the stage for this summer’s installment of Shakespeare Under the Stars, it will mark Elliott Lemberg’s 50th production as head of the New Albany High School Theatre Department!

For Mr. Lemberg, 50 productions also highlight 18 years of commitment to his students and their education. His impact has a far greater reach than the classroom or stage, his leadership and vision make him an invaluable asset to the school, the theatre and to the community of New Albany.

Elliott joined the faculty of New Albany High School in 2007 after his graduation with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Directing and Theatre Education. Elliott was instrumental in opening the McCoy Center for Performing Arts and helped to install its basic operations.

Elliott’s belief in the benefits of theatre have led him to grow the NAHS Theatre Department from two sections of Introduction to Drama to a robust course offering that includes a re-design of his KAP Theatre course next year! Ultimately, this revamped course will allow students to produce smaller shows within the confines of the school day, providing all students an opportunity to experiment with theatre and explore all sides of a theatrical production.

Most recently the CAPA Marquee Awards, designed to celebrate, support, and advocate for high school musical theatre education throughout central Ohio, announced a staggering 12 nominations for Mr. Lemberg’s production of A Chorus Line.

Shakespeare In Love will open at the McCoy on Friday, July 18th with another performance on Saturday, July 19th and at the Hinson Amphitheatre on Sunday, July 20th. All shows begin at 8:00pm. Don't miss out on this stellar opportunity to experience the beauty of Shakespeare in a whole new light!
Tickets available at www.cbusarts.com.

🔬🎭🎻Young Achiever: Mimi Rooney Exceles in Science and the Arts During Her High School Career

Mimi Rooney, a member of New Albany High School’s Class of 2025, spent her years in high school pursuing endeavors encompassing both the sciences and the fine arts. Her roles as a student leader, club founder, and Global Scholar earned her a full ride to The Ohio State University, where she plans to pursue a degree in Molecular Genetics as a member of the Biological Sciences and Morrill scholars programs.

In addition to being an active member of the National Honor Society, Girl Up club, and Student Council, Mimi spearheaded the founding of the Gardening Club. “I wanted to meet other people that loved my hobby,” she explained. “The club also includes introducing people to gardening as a way to take care of their environment, themselves, and those around them.”

Participation in the fine arts, as well as the sciences, was instrumental to Mimi’s high school experience. To date, she has performed in 37 theatrical productions.

Performing as a violinist in the high school’s Honors Orchestra was a rewarding and enriching period of Mimi’s academic day. “As an AP Scholar, the school days were very long and stressful,” she noted. “Orchestra was a perfect pause in my day to take a break from being so intensely focused but still participate in a class just as important as the others, but this time using the other side of my brain.”

As she continues her academic pursuits at OSU, Mimi plans to continue to cultivate her passions, while maintaining her scholarly commitment. She hopes to contribute to the advancement of sustainable agriculture through her studies and career.

🤝Making a Difference--Hope to Hope: Mary Jane Carpenter’s Mission of Compassion at the Ohio Reformatory for Women

Mary Jane Carpenter, a dedicated member of New Albany Presbyterian Church, is quietly making a profound impact through her mission, Hope to Hope. Every Thursday, Mary Jane drives to the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville to work with female inmates, fostering creativity, community, hope and purpose.

Ten years ago, Mary Jane’s journey with Hope to Hope began with a deep sense of calling, Inspired by former prison warden, Ronnie Burkes. Mary Jane knew she had to act. “Hearing the inmates’ stories, I realized how much hope and encouragement these women need,” she said. She began volunteering with inmates, providing crafting supplies and yarn for crocheting. She also began volunteering in the prison nursery. The program gives an opportunity for the inmates to bond with and learn to care for their babies. Mary Jane stays in contact with several of the women and children who are now home in the Columbus area.

Mary Jane’s commitment to service is deeply rooted in her life. A Worthington native, she has four daughters—Katy, Elizabeth, Caroline, and Abigail, one son-in-law, Andrew, and five fabulous grandchildren. Her husband, Jim, and their family, spread across the country, are her biggest supporters. Living in North of Woods, Mary Jane is an active part of the New Albany Country Club community and the Presbyterian Church, where she plays the organ each Sunday.

For those interested in volunteering or donating craft supplies (yeah, ANY craft supplies), contact Mary Jane at [email protected].

🏡Family Spotlight: Andrew and Jenn Spahr

In the Lansdowne neighborhood of NACC communities, Andrew and Jenn Spahr have found more than just a home; they’ve built a vibrant life filled with family, friendship, and purpose. Their journey to New Albany is a tale of serendipity, love, and a shared passion for community, making them a cherished part of the neighborhood.

Andrew and Jenn’s story began in 2007 at St. Lawrence University in upstate New York. Andrew, a football player, and Jenn, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, crossed paths at a mixer between the sorority and team. That spark ignited a connection that has only grown stronger over the years, leading them to marriage and a family of four.

The Spahrs’ move to New Albany in 2018. Their two daughters, Menzie (6) and Elsie (4), are the heart of their world. The girls’ names carry deep family significance. Menzie is named after Jenn’s fraternal grandmother’s Scottish maiden name, while Elsie honors Jenn’s great-great-grandmother. The family even plans to visit Menzie Castle in Scotland when the girls are old enough to cherish the memories.

Andrew’s commitment to community extends beyond New Albany through his work with Folds of Honor, a nonprofit that provides scholarships to families of fallen or disabled military members and first responders. In 2022, a local friend, Julie Kriss, connected him with the Central Ohio Folds of Honor Board Chairman, and Andrew joined the board. Since then, he’s organized multiple fundraising events at NACC, driven by a deep respect for military service rooted in his family; his grandfather, father, and sister all served in the Navy. “I never served,” Andrew reflected, “but I’m grateful for the opportunities we have because of those who did. This is my way of giving back.”

For the Spahrs, New Albany is more than a place to live, it’s a community that feels like family.

🖊Publisher's Note: Savoring the Spirit of Summer

From turtle soup to shared sunsets, July serves up a feast of freedom, flavor and fond memories.

When you think of yummy Fourth of July fare, odds are you picture burgers, hot dogs and all the backyard favorites. But if you had been at the very first Independence Day celebration, your plate would have looked very different. According to historians, John and Abigail Adams marked July 4, 1776, with bowls of steaming turtle soup, along with poached salmon, green peas and potatoes. In fact, turtle soup was such a staple of early American festivities that whole “turtle frolics” were thrown, where servers carried giant shells brimming with stew to eager crowds.

While today’s cookouts may be lighter (thankfully!) on the turtle, the spirit of the Fourth remains much the same — a celebration of freedom, courage and togetherness. July invites us to slow down and savor simple joys, whether watching fireworks light up the sky or gathering loved ones for a meal under the stars.

Inside this issue, you’ll find inspiration — fresh ideas from neighbors and friends to make the most of summer’s long, golden days. We are especially grateful to the partners and contributors who help bring Stroll New Albany CCC to life, and to you, our readers, who share your creativity and community spirit with us month after month.

Your stories and support are the spark behind everything we do. Thank you for being part of the Stroll New Albany family. We are continuing to celebrate our Seniors so if you have a graduate this year we would love to include them in our feature of the 2025 Graduates. Please email our content coordinator, Kat Page, at [email protected] with your student’s photo and name.

Here’s to a summer filled with sunshine, laughter, new traditions and memories made to last.

Happy 4th!
