Something new every day at Aquarium Adventure Aquarium Adventure in Hilliard showcases the largest and best selection of tropical, marine, and pond fish in the country.

This 11,000-square-foot aquarium superstore features a huge variety of aquariums, aquarium furniture and supplies.

The fish, invertebrates and plants are presented in aquarium displays that are entertaining and educational. The store layout conveys to shoppers

and visitors the wonders and benefits of having an aquarium in your home or place of business.

Aquarium Adventure was designed with families and professionals in mind. This showplace is a fun place to visit and explore our aquatic world.

Travel from continent to continent and see fish and invertebrates indigenous to the lakes, rivers, streams and oceans located throughout the

world. The best part, when you finish your journey you can opt to take home your own ecosystem.

At Aquarium Adventure we offer everything from starter kits to full custom installation. Whether you already have an aquarium or are considering one, we can offer professional advice on all aspects of your system. Let our staff help you with everything from plumbing

and electric to water conditions and questions about the care of your fish.

With custom installations we coordinate everything from the design and architecture through engineering and construction. We also offer complete maintenance of your system including cleaning and stocking of new fish and supplies. Rest assured, we’ll be there when needed.

Owner Bill Wymard set up his first aquarium at the age of 10. He had no idea that several decades later he would be keeping more than 500 aquariums. He had no idea he would still have the same passion and enthusiasm for fish that he did when he was so young.

With a degree in marine biology and an excitement about all things fish, it just seemed natural that the two would blend to make his lifelong dream come true. He wanted to build the biggest and best aquarium store in the country. With the help of his wife Sandy, many talented, supportive friends and family members, Aquarium Adventure in June 1997 opened its doors to rave reviews in Columbus.

www.aquariumadventurecolumbus.com Sandy Wymard’s experience in retail management, design and merchandising allow this husband and wife team to do what they both enjoy.

They are quick to give the credit of their success to the many people who have helped them along the way, especially their knowledgeable, talented, sincere and long-term associates at the store. They will tell you that they learn something new every day at Aquarium Adventure, and the openness to learning new things energizes them.

We pride ourselves in having the widest selection of healthy fish, corals and plants. Our staff biologists check the

health of all our aquatic life. This ensures that our fish, no matter where they’re from, are as beautiful and healthy as they would be in the wild.

Aquarium Adventure believes that all underwater worlds hold great fascination, splendor and knowledge. Their hope is that you will too.

“Because we must responsibly coexist with our world, we are committed to understanding and enriching the knowledge of our aquatic eco-systems through education and guidance to ensure the preservation of our hobby and our environment.”

Laurel Health Care Company, 8181 Worthington Road, Westerville, Ohio 43082 has acquired Creekside Care Center, 5151 Hamilton Road, Columbus, Oh, 43230.

Laurel Health Care Company has changed the name of the center to reflect the new ownership. Creekside Care Center is now named “The Laurels of Gahanna.”

“Because the center has been such a long standing provider in the Gahanna community, we felt that it was important to select a name that reflects familiarity and at the same time made the association to their new parent company,” said AJ Stout, regional director of operations for Laurel Health Care Company.

“Our company philosophy emphasizes the importance of treating people with respect and dignity, conducting ourselves with integrity and achieving the highest standards of care and caring through state-of-the-art programs and compassionate caregivers,” said Stout.

“We want people to value the Laurel centers as caring and enthusiastic teams of professionals who are working together to enhance the quality of life for our guests while providing a vital service to this community.”

“We want Gahanna and surrounding communities to choose The Laurels as their ‘Partners in Caring,’” Stout said.

New Albany Ballet Company 19 Years Strong and Still Growing The New Albany Ballet Company is always full of excitement this time of year as we gear up for our annual Nutcracker performances. This year is no exception. With 220 young dancers, guest performers formerly of Columbus BalletMet and The Pittsburgh Ballet, this year’s performances are sure to impress.

Having been in our new, state-of-the-art facility for a year now, we continue to grow and maximize our 19,000-squarefoot facility. However, don’t let our name fool you, we may be the New Albany Ballet Company, but ballet is not all in which we excel. We provide outstanding instruction in all dance genres, including tap, jazz, modern and hip-hop. We offer a broad range of classes sure to meet anyone’s needs.

The Children’s Division classes start as young as two years old and provide plenty of day, evening and Saturday options.

Whether you stay at home or work full time, the schedule accommodates all. We even have several different daytime options to work around the muchneeded 2- and 3- year-old nap schedule.

Along with an expanded Children’s Division came a much larger General Division program. Our dance classes for boys continue to grow and be

successful. Yes, almost every little girl takes ballet at some point, but we can’t let the girls have all the fun. We now offer boys-only ballet classes for ages 5-8 and for 10 and up. In addition, NABC still provides boys-only tap and hip-hop classes. Boys are allowed to try a few classes for free before committing to the program.

NABC has developed a beginning teen program where students ages 12 and up who have less dance experience can have the opportunity to try a ballet, tap, jazz, modern or hip-hop class with students their same age and skill level.

Most dance studios combine beginning teenagers in with younger students. NABC allows these teens to try classes with other teens. Dance is social, and we understand the desire to be with your peer group.

Dance isn’t just for the young, but also for the young-at-heart.

NABC is now offering several adult dance classes in ballet, tap and hip-hop.

Whether you, your toddler, child or teen wants to dance, NABC has what you need. NABC is central Ohio’s leader in training classical ballet. Our faculty and

student’s accomplishments speak for themselves. But we understand not all students are looking for such a serious dance-training program. Many students just want to dance for fun. We offer classes for those students and welcome anyone new to try a class for free at anytime. Not everyone decides

to dance in the beginning of the fall. That’s why we allow new students the opportunity to try a class year-round and join into our program mid year. We have the space, faculty and programming to allow a wonderful opportunity for all. For more information, call (614) 939-9058 or email info@ newalbanyballet.com.

Winter Quarter Classes Begin December 1st.

New Student Registration Available at NewAlbanyBallet.com

Classes for girls and boys ages 2 and up in ballet, tap, modern, contemporary, and hip-hop. Brand new two-year-old Pre-Ballet Classes forming now for January start.
