The Art of Dentistry East meets West at Powell Dental Care

At Powell Dental Care, we do more than just clean teeth. We believe in mindful dentistry – achieving the highest quality result through focused intent, sincere effort, and skillful execution. Patients are treated wholly, with an emphasis on overall health. It’s a unique philosophy that delivers beautiful smiles and enhanced well-being.

A beautiful smile is more than just teeth; it’s the reflection of one’s overall health.

It’s the first impression we make and the last we leave. The smile is the universal language understood around the world. At our office, artistry meets science to provide a unique blend of caring, comfort, and the most advanced dental procedures.

Our office embraces the quiet elegance of the East and the efficiency of the West. The decor is global; 17th century Ming Dynasty doors from a monastery in China and artwork by both local and international artists. However, these visual elements are mere backdrop for the premier dental care that awaits our patients in the well-appointed treatment rooms. Dental equipment is concealed behind furniture-like cabinets. Dental chairs deliver a gentle massage. Overhead lights are non-glare. Blankets are provided for chilly days. And at the end of each appointment, a warm towel to freshen up.

This is what sets us apart: excellence in dentistry, state-of-the-art technology, gracious hospitality, comprehensive examinations, and a warm caring staff whose objective is to anticipate your needs.

meeT The DocTors Bill Waddell DDs Dr. Bill Waddell received his Bachelor’s Degree from The Ohio State University and obtained his Doctorate from The Ohio State College of Dentistry. He is a member of the American Dental Association, Columbus Dental Society, Seattle Study Club and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Dr. Waddell participates in countless hours of continuing education on implant dentistry, sleep medicine, and comprehensive treatment solutions.

In 2002, Dr. Waddell was invited to be a dental evaluator for MetLife Dental Quality Initiative Program. Being 1 of 10 dentists in the United States that are an integral part of this program, he conducted office evaluations throughout the country in an effort to improve the quality of care delivered by the more than 110,000 participating dentists. The result is reflected in the state-of-theart, efficient and calming environment his practice provides.

After practicing dentistry for over 30 years, Dr. Waddell continues to welcome each new patient with a hand-written note.

Expedia® CruiseShipCenters® drops anchor in Powell Powell, OH – Planning a vacation has just become a lot easier for families throughout the Greater Columbus area.

With the desire and expertise to help his community find the right vacation, local entrepreneur Doug Senter has opened a new Expedia CruiseShipCenters franchise at 4024 W. Powell Road.

Expedia CruiseShipCenters—part of Expedia, Inc., one of the largest travel companies in the world—offers cruise vacations and much more through their 190 locations across North America.

Customers are able to choose from numerous vacation possibilities over land, sea and air, including customized trips, coach and rail tours and insurance – all at Expedia prices. In addition to the research and booking features available on their local website, Senter and his team offer personal travel consultations in person, through email or over the phone, so customers always have the freedom to book when, where and how they choose. Often times, consumers are rewarded with Expedia® Extras exclusively through Expedia CruiseShipCenters – this includes special perks and amenities, such as additional on-board spending credits, cabin upgrades or beverage packages.

“I look forward to working with the community to help them find the cruise or vacation that is a perfect fit for their needs,” Senter, owner of Expedia CruiseShipCenters in Powell said. “The Internet can become overwhelming when trying to plan a vacation. With so many options available, customers really want to speak to an expert. Our team of Travel Consultants are experts

at explaining the differences among ships and cruise lines to help our customers find the vacation that’s perfect for them.”

Expedia CruiseShipCenters Travel Consultants are provided with extensive training and marketing support which allows them to become navigators of spectacular vacation experiences, even with no travel experience. “We are actively recruiting Travel Consultants to work flexible hours that fit their life, from our retail center and occasionally from home as well,” claims Senter. “Our agents have the freedom and flexibility to build their travel business on their own terms with the power of Expedia behind them.”

After spending 19 years as a Performance Development Coach for AT&T, embarking on business trips every week, the Ohio native was looking for a career change that would allow him to leverage the skills he gained in his professional career, while making a difference in his community. With a passion for coaching and mentoring his peers and a personal love for travel, the Expedia CruiseShipCenters franchise opportunity truly resonated with Senter, as it would allow him to continue fostering growth and personal development in his team while exploring the world at his leisure. As the only full service vacation center agency in the market, the motivated self-starter is ready to make his mark, with plans to open additional locations throughout Columbus in the coming years. In the first year alone, his new business will boost the local economy by creating at least 20 new jobs.

How to become a library superhero

The Delaware County District Library (DCDL) Summer Reading Club kicks off Saturday, May 30 with the theme “Every Hero Has A Story.” The eight-week reading program encourages kids ages 0-18 to read a total of 12 hours before July 25. Here are five easy steps to becoming a Library Superhero.

1. Read all 12 hours Whether reading alone, with a friend, or having a caregiver read to you, it’s to your advantage to read all 12 hours. At six hours, you get a Superhero Utility Belt to store all your superhero needs!

Then at 12 hours, pick out a book to keep, donated by our Friends of the Library.

2. Attend a program every week

4. Shout out @delawarelibrary

Our calendar is packed full of activities for all ages. Daily storytimes occur for ages 0-6; weekly programs are held for kids, tweens, teens and the whole family; and awesome programmers like the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, Jim Gill, Zak Morgan, Gator Dave, the Turtle Lady and Ohio Machine Lacrosse will amaze. Plus, each week that you return to the Library, you’ll earn a button to add to your Superhero Utility Belt!

The Library is on social media, and we want to hear from you! Tag us on Instagram or Twitter, post a story to our Facebook wall, see what’s trending on Tumblr, or watch our creative kids at work on YouTube.

3. Take a stroll in the parks Every year DCDL partners with Preservation Parks of Delaware County to promote their Summer Letterbox Adventure. Register at DCDL to get your booklet with all the clues, then learn about nature while you search for little boxes hidden in the parks.

5. Say hi!

Librarians don’t just live inside the library. They’re out at community events, just like you. When you watch a parade or visit the Touch-A-Truck or Powell Festival this summer, keep your eyes open for DCDL and say hi!

Readers who complete all five steps will have successfully become a Library superhero and are on their way to saving the world. For more information, visit www.delawarelibrary.org or call (740) 362-3861.

Gym X-Treme: Providing more than gymnastics to kids Gym X-Treme Gymnastics and Cheerleading has been serving young children and athletes for more than 15 years. Their classes include gymnastics, tumbling and cheerleading for boys and girls of all ages and skill levels. However, the program provides so much more than just flipping and tumbling.

Gymnastics is one of the most comprehensive lifestyle exercise programs available to children: incorporating strength, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination and discipline. Whether they are involved in recreational gymnastics or with a competition team, skills learned in gymnastics benefit a child’s overall development.

In addition, students in the Gym X-Treme program are building selfconfidence, work ethic, determination, and learning to overcome fear. Since

gymnastics is a developmental sport it builds skills through a progression of steps. This helps improve your child’s concentration which can help them with problem solving, math and reading in school. Gymnastics requires children to not only use both sides of their brain separately, but it also requires both sides to work at the same time together.

At Gym X-Treme your child can take part in classes as well as open gyms, summer camp and a variety of clinics and special events. Gym X-Treme is also a great place for your child’s next birthday party.

There is no better time than now for your child to start reaping the many benefits of the Gym X-Treme program.

Call (740) 549-FLIP today to register for a class or to sign up for a free trial or visit their website at www.gymx-treme. com.

The basic idea in the Montessori philosophy of education is that all children carry within themselves the person they will become. In order to develop physical, intellectual and spiritual potential to the fullest, the child must have freedom—a freedom to be achieved through order and self-discipline. The world of the child, say the Montessori educators, is full of sights and sounds which, at first, appear chaotic. From this chaos children must gradually create order, learn to distinguish among the impressions that assail their senses, and slowly but surely gain mastery of themselves and the environment.

Dr. Montessori has recognized that the only valid impulse to learning is the child’s self-motivation. Children move themselves toward learning. The directress prepares the environment, directs the activity, and offers the child stimulation; but it is the child who learns, who is motivated through work itself (not solely by the teacher’s

personality) to persist in a given task. If Montessori children are free to learn, it is because they have acquired an “inner discipline” from their exposure to both physical and mental order.

This is the core of Dr. Montessori’s philosophy. Patterns of concentration, “stick-to-itiveness” and thoroughness established in early childhood produce a confident and competent learner in later years.

The Montessori program teaches children to observe, to think and to analyze. It introduces children to the joy of learning at an early age and provides a solid foundation for the rest of their lives.

At last! High tech family dentistry with a community focus has come to Lewis Center Here at North Orange Family Dentistry, our commitment to delivering the highest quality dentistry with a community focus means using the latest dental technology to make your visits efficient and comfortable, while doing all we can to support local charities in our community.

Technology today is changing our everyday lives. Many people, however, aren’t aware that technology is also impacting dentistry in new and exciting ways. Cutting-edge innovations in dental instruments are requiring less time in the dental chair, causing less discomfort and creating satisfying results. One breakthrough instrument, called CEREC®, allows us to quickly restore damaged teeth with naturalcolored ceramic crowns, saving patients time and inconvenience.

CEREC is an amazing 3D printer technology that we have in our office that allows us to mill your new, custom, perfectly crafted permanent crown during one visit. No need to take more time off work, no temporary crown, and no chance that you may need to be numbed twice. Our patients love that they can watch their crown being fabricated from start to finish. They are able to see the design process on the computer, and then they can walk over to watch the computer design being milled into their final crown. We understand that our patients have busy schedules,

and the last thing they want to do is make multiple trips to the dental office. By implementing the newest technology into our office we are able to deliver the highest level of care while respecting our patient’s time. This allows our patients to spend less time in the dental chair and more time with their families.

As a part of our pledge to support our community, North Orange Family Dentistry hosted the 1st Annual Miles for Smiles 5K Run/ Walk at Adventure Park in Powell to benefit the Free to Smile Foundation last July. Free to Smile Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation, based here in central Ohio, which provides quality surgical The 2nd Annual Miles for Smiles 5K Run/Walk will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2015 and dental services to poor and at Adventure Park in Powell starting at 9 a.m. underprivileged children and tistry, Dr. Kyle Bogan, and his staff are will also be presenting first, second and adolescents throughout the ready to welcome all new patients to third place medals for both men and world.

Byers Auto now offering insurance on the cars they sell, and much more Since 1897, Byers has been in the transportation business. The local automotive retailer began as a horse livery before anyone had ever heard of an automobile.

“We like to say that we were in the car business before Henry Ford.” chuckles John DuRivage, Byers family member and owner of Byers Auto and the newly launched Byers Insurance. “Now, we are helping people protect what’s most important in their world.”

Change doesn’t come easy in the car business.

But when Scott Ortman approached John DuRivage and the rest of the Byers family about the prospect of providing insurance coverage to their clients, “It seemed like a natural evolution for the Byers company. If someone buys a car from us, we should offer a way for them to protect it.” says Ortman, Agency Manager of Byers Insurance.

As an Allstate Insurance Agency, not only does Byers Insurance cover the vehicles it sells, they also offer home, life and a complete line of insurance and financial products. “If you could predict the future, you would never need insurance.” Says Ortman.

“We set out to give people the same

value added service, ease of business, and satisfaction that our family has provided to our customers for years.

Central Ohio is our neighborhood.”

That philosophy has served Byers Auto well for 118 years, and they plan to continue this philosophy with the new Byers Insurance company.

Ortman says “If you want protection to insure your families’ needs, at a competitive price, and with unprecedented service, give us the opportunity to earn your business. You won’t be disappointed.”

Acme Canine offers more than 10 years’ experience For more than 10 years, Acme Canine has been entrusted with helping people train their dogs and nurture their canine relationships. Nearly 4,000 clients now believe in the value of building better life-long bonds through behavior, training and coaching, and the difference it makes in dog owners’ lives.

When owner, Laura Pakis, decided on the Acme name, she had not thought of the benefits of having a company name that started with the first letter of the alphabet. Rather it was based on two other reasons. One was the good memories of the nostalgic Acme Company and how it could fix anything.

More importantly it was the definition of Acme: The highest level or degree attainable; the highest stage of development. For Acme Canine that means being dogcentric!

Acme Canine’s staff enjoys working with all breeds and ages of dogs. They are committed to making dogs polite members of society and a joy to own.

All members of the Acme Canine staff believe in maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and business practice, as well as keeping abreast of the latest methods, practices and techniques of dog training. Since its formation, Acme Canine has expanded and built a larger facility to better serve the central Ohio dog owner community.

How to be a good youth sports parent behave poorly may inadvertently pass on bad habits to their children or cause kids to prematurely abandon their athletic pursuits. The following are a few tips for parents who want to encourage their kids’ passions for sports in positive ways.

• Show respect for coaches and officials.

Parents should not act like they are the final authority on calls or how team members should play. Respect should always be shown to coaches and referees.

• Let your child have fun regardless of his or her performance. Too often parents get swept up in how their children are performing when the goal for young athletes should be to enjoy them-

Extracurricular and summer season sports leagues keep thousands of children occupied.

Youth sports promote physical fitness and teamwork while helping children acquaint themselves with sportsmanship and camaraderie.

The Journal of Sports Medicine says three out of four American families with school-aged children have at least one child playing an organized sport. While many kids play just for recreation, others play competitively.

Sports are meant to be sources of enjoyment for children, but parental pressure and poor adult behavior on the sidelines can make kids reluctant to compete. Parents who

selves. Resist the urge to focus on performance and focus instead of whether or not your child is having fun.

• Recognize college scholarships may not be in the cards. Although some children are destined for athletic greatness, many will not play sports after high school.

Pressuring older children to improve their performance in the hopes of landing college scholarships can make the little time they do have to play their favorite sports less enjoyable.

• Take cues from the child. Children are often great indicators of parental behavior at sporting events. Parents whose children seem unenthusiastic about

mom and dad attending their sporting events may be trying to tell you they don’t appreciate your behavior at the games.

• Provide constructive criticism. Early coaching and practice with parents can give kids a leg up on the competition. But keep your advice constructive. Parents who become pushy or force constant practices can make sports unenjoyable.

• Place emphasis on fun and learning skills.

Find out what the kids hope to accomplish by playing sports and help them to achieve those goals. Focus on being supportive rather than emphasizing winning, as doing so can help children view sports par-

ticipation in a more positive light.

If children seem to have lost interest in sports, parents can ask why in an effort to make sports fun again or encourage other pursuits.

Many sports now require year-round participation, which Parents can take several steps to can cause make their kids’ experiences with burnout sports as positive as possible. in some youngsters.

Sometimes that’s needed to rekindle a brief break and some a child’s passion for fine-tuning may be all sports.

PRDC offers a wide range of free and confidential services to the community Pregnancy Resources of Delaware County (PRDC) opened its doors as The CORE Center in July 2007 in Sunbury.

It was the fulfillment of a strategy that started several years earlier by a group of community volunteers, under the direction of Catherine Wood, to open a pregnancy center to serve women in Delaware County.

The non-profit organization was operated by volunteers until a parttime director was hired in 2009. In July 2010, the Center moved to the city of Delaware. More changes occurred in 2014 with the adoption of a new name and logo, and the opening of a satellite office in Powell.

PRDC offers a wide range of free and confidential services, including

pregnancy tests, limited obstetrical ultrasound, and education and information on the options of parenting, adoption and abortion. Additionally, PRDC partners with Relationships Under Construction to bring relationship and abstinence education to local public schools in Delaware County.

Many PRDC clients choose to participate in the Earn While You Learn program, which offers expectant parents the opportunity to earn points for purchasing baby clothing from the Baby Boutique. Parents earn points by watching educational videos and answering review questions on baby development and care.

Pro Martial Arts …

More than a martial arts school What sets Pro Martial Arts apart from the average martial arts school is the addition of our inspiring and motivational Life Skills Training program.

Pro Martial Arts students acquire more than just Black Belt kicking and punching skills: they learn the value of a Black Belt Lifestyle, a lifestyle of quiet confidence, poise and fulfillment.

Pro Martial Arts students are taught how to set and attain goals, be their own greatest advocates and proactively pursue and achieve success in all aspects of life. We do this through our many valuable programs. Our character education program is the cornerstone of success. We teach our students the importance of respect, manners, confidence, discipline and a positive attitude.

Our character education program provides them with the understanding needed to identify the right decision and the confidence to make it and stick with the decision. Our ARMOR® program teaches kids how to stand tall against bullying behavior and predator activity. Pro Martial Arts builds character for a lifetime and demonstrates how kids can be their own super hero.

Our programs start at age two with Little Rhinos which is a fun introduction to karate basics for preschoolers

up to age five. Through drills, skills and games, this class teaches the moves, curriculum and protocol they need to start their journey towards black belt! From age five and up our karate program is for both kids and adults. Build confidence and develop self-discipline, while honing athletic skills and having a lot of fun.

We also offer fitness kickboxing for adults as a way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You can increase flexibility and range of motion while experiencing an exciting, fun and energizing workout. Enjoy building lean muscle and losing weight while you sculpt and tone.

In addition to those programs, we also offer fun birthday parties, parent’s night out and day camps in the summer. Please call us for more information and to schedule a free trial at (614) 389-5900 or stop by at 9692 Sawmill Parkway in Powell, corner of Powell Road.

Fred Astaire Dance Studio: Enhance your life through dance Dancing in itself is pleasurable enough, but this pleasure is easily multiplied many times over. All it takes is a few moments to discover and reflect upon the extraordinary significance of dance, both historically and today, and its powerful life-supporting, lifeenhancing benefits.

‘Dance is an absolute expression of the whole human being.’ Fred Astaire Dance Studios is the only dance company maintaining this concept at the core of its philosophy. We know that dance is an activity capable of enhancing all aspects of life.

Our knowledge of this value, acquired through many years of experience in teaching dance, is reinforced by expert research showing that dance is the one activity that can improve so many features of a person’s life: their physical, mental, emotional and social well-being.

“Dancing . . . can breathe new life into a tired soul; make a spirit soar; unleash locked-away creativity; unite generations and cultures; inspire new romances or rekindle old ones; trigger long-forgotten memories; and turn sadness into joy. . . .”

Health benefits of meditation Meditation is often trumped as a means to reducing stress and restoring healthy function in the body. While meditation might once have been considered a New Age treatment, in recent years it has developed into a mainstream practice supported by both traditional and alternative medical providers.

The Mayo Clinic says that anyone can practice meditation. A cost-effective treatment that does not require any special equipment or location, meditation has been practiced for thousands of years and originally was developed to help people understand the mystical or spiritual forces of life. Although meditation for some may still have religious or spiritual connotations, in a medical sense it is typically used for relaxation and stress reduction.

Various studies show that meditation can be associated with improvement of

a variety of issues. Researchers describe meditation-based changes as ones that actually change the brain. Changes in the circuitry of the brain may affect the way a person responds to specific situations. The following are a few ways to put mindful meditation to use.

• Strengthen cognitive function: Dr. Sara Lazar, a neuroscientist at Massachusetts General Hospital, says meditation can help thicken the prefrontal cortex of the brain, helping to reverse the pattern of cognitive function decline as one ages.

• Protect against heart disease: There is some indication that meditation can reduce concentrations of the marker C-reactive protein, which is associated with the development of heart disease.

St. Mary School – Dedicated to celebrating and serving each student’s diverse needs St. Mary School has been educating Catholic children in Delaware County since 1860. Uniting the traditions of the Church with current academic practices, our private school provides students in preschool through eighth grade a parochial education at a fraction of the cost of most other private institutions.

Accredited by the State of Ohio and under the direction of the Diocese of Columbus, St. Mary currently enrolls more than 300 students. The student to teacher ratio is 14/1. Our fully licensed staff participates in monthly professional development and works to individualize instruction for their students. St. Mary School welcomes all children to attend and learn in this caring, nurturing and

innovative environment. Students participate in service projects both at school and through the parish.

St. Mary School provides many opportunities for students to practice their faith.

Through daily prayer and religion classes, weekly mass, a strong message of discipleship and participation in traditional Catholic sacraments and feasts, St. Mary students live out their faith.

The strong impact of these early experiences in Church activities develops a moral guide for students as they face their future. Faith formation happens through living out the Gospel message.

EyeShop changes patients’ eye care experience—for good Optometry office with a fresh perspective in Powell/Lewis Center

Dr. Cynthia Sayers is the proud visionary and owner of EyeShop, a totally new experience in eye care. While doctors’ offices are often sterile and stuffy, EyeShop is different. Here, patients browse frame styles freely, without being pressured to make a decision.

They grab a cup of coffee (with free desserts each Friday), take pictures of themselves in designer eyewear with an iPad, and entertain their children (or spouse) with a game of Wii while they look. At EyeShop, patients not only find their eye care experience comfortable —they receive the very best care available.

Dr. Sayers has been practicing optometry for more than 15 years. Earning her degree from the New England College of Optometry in Boston, she completed a full residency program

at the prestigious Rhode Island Eye Institute. It was there that she developed a passion for understanding both her patients’ optical health, and their personal needs.

EyeShop offers more than 500 hand-selected frames from a variety of designers, ranging in style from ultra-trendy to classic. A stylist guides patients through the selection process to ensure they’re 100% satisfied. And because contact lenses are all about fit, EyeShop works to find lenses that best meet each patient’s needs.

“I created EyeShop to be a place where patients feel both seen and heard,” says Dr. Sayers. “When you’re here, you’re more than a set of eyes.

You’re a person. And I’m just as passionate about caring for you as I am about caring for your eye health.”

Turner’s ATA Blackbelt teaches the practice of self-knowledge to all ages Contrary to popular belief, karate has less to do with fighting and more to do with the improvement of mind, body and spirit. Learning a martial art can develop social and interpersonal skills in surprising ways.

There is a longstanding and deeply rooted misconception about the martial arts. Many believe the training is all about violence. However, this is not the case. It is not the goal of responsible, martial arts instructors to teach students to fight. Self-defense skills are central to the practice, but their true purpose is more diverse and more important.

Many important lessons can be learned from studying martial arts. Selfimprovement of body, mind and spirit is the true purpose of training. Along with the physical skills, karate students learn to practice the art of self-knowledge. Quality training programs instill the virtues of respect and self-discipline in students of all ages. These are virtues that carry over into all areas of life.

Gaining respect How can martial arts training improve social skills in you or your children? First and foremost is by teaching people to respect each other. No student of the martial arts can progress without an understanding of this essential attribute. It can be humbling for a successful, middle-aged executive to ask for help from a boy or girl younger than her own children. Karate training teaches us that knowledge comes from those who possess it, regardless of age or any other factors. We learn

from those who know more than us, and we respect them for their knowledge.

Karate students learn to value one another because we are all on similar journeys: we all face challenges and setbacks, and we are all trying to better ourselves.

Building selfconfidence By learning to control our emotions and think before we act, karate students become more skilled at allowing others to participate in our lives. With regular practice, martial arts students learn to be better listeners and partners.

It’s perfectly natural to want to please and impress our teachers, classmates, friends, and other people important to us. But the need to “prove” ourselves by taking unnecessary risks is reduced when we become secure and comfortable in our own skin. Students learn to set our own personal goals. We learn self-defense, but we also learn

munity. It shows care, humility and gratitude. These benefits work together to improve all martial arts students’ social skills.

While the ability to defend yourself and others from a bully or an attacker is very important, it’s not the only reason to enroll in a quality martial arts program. Improvement of spirit, body and mind is the name of the game. A variety of social skills are made better by regular practice in the karate classroom.

These lessons become good habits that last a lifetime and open many doors in all walks of life.

self-reliance. We find power within.

These lessons build self-esteem and confidence in our abilities to overcome difficulties.

Practicing courtesy Karate teachers and high-ranking students are treated with courtesy because of their advanced positions and skills. New students and lower ranks are treated with courtesy because they deserve support and help. Using good manners shows students the actions and attitudes of leaders.

Don’t trust capturing your family memories to just anyone!

Invest in your neighborhood professional photography studio, Klatte Photography.

With more than 22 years of experience, Deron and Nichole Klatte have worked to seamlessly combine their different talents into fun and effortless works of art. They like to call it “artwork that matters!” Personalization is the key to their work, their attitude and their desire to create images their clients will cherish forever.

Taking a pretty picture is relatively easy; the magic lies in capturing the essence of a person in the moment.

No matter what Deron and Nichole are photographing, their focus is always on the people and their stories. They love to truly relate with their clients and build a level of comfort for clients that enable Deron and Nichole to capture spontaneous, powerful moments.

When asked what it is they enjoy the most about capturing those moments, they responded, “We get to laugh and have fun with our clients! But don’t let that fool you into thinking that we don’t

appreciate classic looks too. Classic never goes out of style, but we’re constantly keeping ourselves on the edge and coming up with new ideas to keep our images fresh and diverse.”

Deron and Nichole want to make sure that every time their clients look at their images, they remember the fun experience that they had together as a family. When their clients leave saying that they can’t wait to come back, they know they’ve succeeded!

Why banking with us is better The First Citizen National Bank was established in 1860 and is the fifth oldest, locallyowned nationally chartered bank in the nation.

In March 2015, First Citizens was awarded “Best of Bauer” award for 100 consecutive quarters of 5-star excellence from Bauer Financial. Less than 5% of banks nationwide have achieved this goal.

There is exciting news for the Powell community! We are evolving our mission by changing our name from Historic Downtown Powell to Heart of Powell. After long discussions with both the business and community leaders, we recognized that our identity needed to better reflect our intentions and purposes.

At our annual meeting in May we will officially roll out our new name and logo. Our mission is simple but has broad implications: building community by strengthening the heart of Powell.

Our mission allows us to serve more than the downtown but still recognize that Powell’s downtown acts as the core and foundation of our community.

We will continue to highlight our downtown by hosting and

promoting Powell through events such as the Powell Festival and Powell Fest 5k, Powell Street Markets, Oktoberfest in Powell (which will also introduce a 5k this year) and Holidays in Powell.

The latest community event we offer is our monthly Third Thursday’s.

Created as another exciting experience in Downtown Powell, Third Thursdays offers extended hours and shopping specials from a variety of merchants, shops and restaurants. We encourage our community to come out and Shop, Dine and Do Local.

We are blessed in our large community to have a downtown that still reflects a small town feel yet rewards us with such tremendous assets. Thank you for being a part of the Heart of Powell.

these areas are stimulated, the immune system works more effectively.

Researchers at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine attribute this to the increase of nitric oxide during meditation.

Looking for affordable and customized massages and facials in a spa atmosphere?

Massage Envy is perfect for you!

Village Academy adds ‘Fifth Quarter’ for summer In an effort to not only assist parents in finding excellent summer activities for their children, but also to bridge the learning gap with continuing academic challenges, Village Academy is launching “The Fifth Quarter” summer program for their students as well as students from the surrounding community.

According to Susan Lasley, Head of School at the Powell college prep school, “Research shows that incorporating academic skills into summer camp programming can greatly enhance retention prior to returning to regular classes in

the fall. With that in mind, Village Academy has added a play-based academic component to each theme week currently being offered.

Students in grades pre-K through 8 may enroll for the entire fifth quarter of summer or by individual week.” For students entering grades 9-12 online credit courses are also available.

To find more information on specific courses go to www.villageacademy. org or you are invited to phone the school at (614) 841-0050. LImited spaces are still available for fall enrollment, as well.

Massage Envy Spa in Powell celebrates its 8th anniversary on May 25 and owners and local residents Julie and Steve Kambeitz are grateful for the support of the Powell community.

According to the Kambeitz’s, “We have seen the interest in massages and facials grow tremendously since we opened, with more and more people recognizing the many benefits of regular bodywork and skincare. In addition, increasingly medical professionals are recommending and even prescribing bodywork as not only preventive medicine, but also to help treat many health conditions.”

The growth of their business was so strong, that in September of 2014, they opened their third location in Lewis Center (they also own the Dublin location). Every month, their dedicated staff provides 4,500 members a monthly dose of relaxation, wellness and for some, pain relief. Through the caring touch of their team of licensed massage therapists and estheticians, they are delivering on the company’s mission statement: “better lives, better families, better communities, a better world through our hands.”

Not only do the affordable membership-style prices allow for massages and facials to become a regular wellness practice instead of a once-in-awhile pampering, the Kambeitz team also

takes great pride in ensuring a customized experience for each guest.

Believing that every body is unique, each session is personalized to the needs of the client that day instead of a cookie-cutter, one-style-fits-all approach.

In addition to the customized sessions, massage clients can also choose to add on one of four additional treatments (aromatherapy, deep muscle treatment, hot stones or a sugar foot scrub) to further enhance their experience.

It is this strong focus on customer service that has earned the Powell location Massage Envy’s Excellence in Customer Experience award the past three years in a row. This award is given to just a few select locations across the country (there are over 1,000 Massage Envy locations nationwide) who have demonstrated continued excellence in taking care of clients. The Powell location values this award because it is based on feedback and customer service scores from clients.

If you haven’t yet tried Massage Envy Spa, call to schedule an appointment and take advantage of a short escape from the busy-ness of life! Introductory one-hour facials are only $59.99 and introductory 90-minute massages start at $79.99! Contact the Powell location at (614) 734-3689 or Lewis Center at (740) 657-1200.

KEMBA is proud to serve Powell The Credit Union has better rates, lower fees, and people who care

KEMBA Financial Credit Union opened its doors to the Powell community in October 2013, and is proud to serve this influential and growing central Ohio community.

What first began as the Credit Union for Kroger Bakery employees in 1933 has since grown to be the largest credit union in central Ohio, serving nearly 80,000 members and the employees of more than 150 central Ohio companies.

Since its inception, KEMBA has served the community as a not-for-profit financial cooperative, owned by its membership. Simply put, KEMBA is not a bank, it is a financial partner. In general, credit unions are a smart alternative to banks because you are an owner, not just a customer. In fact, because KEMBA exists solely to serve its members (customers), not third-party stock holders, profits are returned to its membership in the form of lower fees, and better rates; and, credit unions, like KEMBA, offer all the same financial products as banks.

KEMBA’s main purpose is to promote thrift and decisions are made locally and with the members’ best interests in mind. KEMBA representatives are always happy to meet with

KEMBA’s Powell location at 4078 Powell Road members to help them make the right decisions specific to their individual financial needs.

A common misconception about credit unions is a lack of convenient locations. Many credit unions, like KEMBA, participate in a Shared Branching Network which allows members to conduct account transactions at more than 5,000 credit unions nationwide. Plus, members can utilize nearly 50,000 ATMs across the country without

paying a surcharge fee.

As part of KEMBA’s mission to offer competitive financial services that contribute to the well being of its members and their families, KEMBA is pleased to provide free credit counseling services to its membership. Certified financial counselors can help members examine their financial situation, and recommend solutions. In addition, KEMBA provides retirement planning and investment services to

help its members create individualized plans to meet their needs.

Like larger financial institutions, KEMBA also serves the small business community. Products such as checking and savings are available, but also small business loans and merchant services. KEMBA is committed to providing small business owners with the tools needed to manage their finances.

Financial security is a significant benefit of credit

union membership, for both personal and business accounts. Credit union deposits are insured up to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, similar to insurance at a bank; but on top of that, KEMBA provides an additional $250,000 in private deposit insurance. Simply put, KEMBA is a safe, solid and sound financial option for central Ohio families and businesses.

When you choose a credit union, you are not only choosing a better way to bank for yourself and your family, but you are also choosing to keep your money local. Credit unions pride themselves on being an asset in their communities, and KEMBA is proud to offer community support in Powell and throughout central Ohio.

For more information about how KEMBA can assist you with your financial needs, visit kemba.org.

This service is perfect for parents who run errands, go to the doctor, go out to dinner, work from home, work part time or just need time for them. With our flexible scheduling, parents make reservations based on their needs and pay for just that time, without long-term commitments or contracts.

Mango’s Place is committed to the growth of each child by providing qualified, enthusiastic teachers, and providing a nurturing center where children can use their imagination and explore.

Children will enjoy arts and crafts, music, story time, and play in the 14-foot tree house.

Within our unique service, Mango’s also offers a preschool program with

morning and afternoon classes. Our program has no potty training requirements and allows parents the option to use our drop-in program before and after class. Siblings can also stay in our drop in program so parents have hours of free time.

Mango’s Place has been in business for over 11 years and has helped thousands of families. A stay-at-home mom who needed a few hours of childcare a day started the business.

“My kids love Mango’s Place, I always feel comfortable leaving my kids there … they have a safe and secure play area.

I also love that while my son is in preschool, I can also drop off my infant to run errands,” said Michelle H., parent.

“Making a new start” We know about that at our church.

For us “that new church on Home Road” is a new start.

A new start filled with new opportunities like planning for a preschool launch. We also know new starts because we have grown from a small group of 35 meeting in a local school band room, to now three times for services with first time guests each week. So you will find others like yourself, making a new spiritual start here.

In addition to neighbors like yourself, you will also meet Pastor Hohe who revels in seeing people make a new

start. An environment filled with grace will allow you to make your own new start. So if you’re ready, bring the whole family to one of our three services.

Worship is joyful and grace-filled at all times.

Did you know?

A recent study authored by education and psychology experts in Australia suggests that kids are spending far more time looking at screens than the two hours recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Published in the journal BMC Public Health in early 2015, the study surveyed more than 2,600 Australian students between

the ages of eight and 16 to determine how much screen-based media use, or SBMU, kids were averaging each day. SBMU included television viewing, computer usage and video game playing. The study determined that 45 percent of eight-year-olds and 80 percent of 16-year-olds were exceeding the recommended two hours of screen time per day.

Home Savings adds the personal touch to mortgage lending

By Deb Herman Advertising Director Shopping for a home mortgage can be confusing. Most banks have very similar rates and fees, so what should you look for when choosing a mortgage lender?

“Look for a real person, someone you can connect with,” said Nick Linamen, Area Sales Manager for Home Savings & Loan. “A lot of banks today don’t even offer you a personal meeting, just a phone call or email contact.

That’s what makes Home Savings so special,” he explained.

Home Savings has been in this market for about 11 years with a mortgage office in Worthington. “We’re focusing more on reaching out to individuals who are looking for a mortgage that’s not only competitively priced, but also competently managed by an experienced loan officer with a personal touch,” said Linamen.

The bank’s loan officers will meet with customers at their convenience… evenings, weekends, whenever and wherever is good for the customer.

“Like most other banks, Home Savings offers the convenience of applying online, but if you want to meet with a loan officer, that option is always open,” said Linamen.

Of course Home Savings offers loans for purchases and refinances, but the bank does offer a couple of programs that are unique. “We’re especially proud of our construction loan, which converts to a regular mortgage once the home is completed. Not many banks offer a construction loan anymore, so we’re filling a real need with this program, said Linamen. “And, qualified applicants can get a really low down payment, lower than most other mortgage loans.”

Home Savings has a special FirstTime Buyers Program, too. The program offers low down payments (which can be gifted to the borrower), no mortgage insurance costs and no income restrictions. “This program makes it affordable for someone who’s still renting to become a homeowner,” said Linamen.

As far as offering that personal touch… there are two experienced loan officers serving residents of this area.

Linamen himself, along with Linda Tempesta, can be reached at Home Savings’ Worthington office via phone or email, or through the bank’s web site.

HaiQu & A with John Blakely of The Daily Growler For those that haven’t been, what would someone expect on their first trip to The Daily Growler?

Friendly service. Smiles.

Sixty fresh craft beers to drink On site or to go It’s great that you can drink on-site.

A lot of growlers places are strictly to go. One of my favorite things to do in the spring and summer is to drink craft beer on a patio. Do you guys have any outdoor seating?

We enjoy it too!

We have a grand patio Seats about forty Do you have a Happy Hour at The Daily Growler?

Seven days a week Happy Hour 3 - 7 The best in Powell!

Speaking of Best, did we hear you were just named Best Growler Fill Spot in Columbus for the 2nd year in a row?

That we can’t deny.

It’s a tremendous honor.

We hope to three-peat!

You are one of the only businesses in Powell that uses food trucks. You bring them out every Friday night and on special events. What has the reception been like?

It’s been amazing!

Great food, great price, and nice too Support small business.

This is the first year that Columbus is having its very own beer week (May 1 - May 9). You guys have several cool events planned at both stores:

May 2 (Powell) - Hoof Hearted Hot Tub Hang May 4 (UA) - CBW Collaboration Tap Invasion May 5 (Powell) - CBW Collaboration Tap Invasion May 7 (UA) - Jackie O’s Bobcat Bash May 7 - Taste of Powell May 8 (Powell) - Cincinnati Brewery Spotlight Is it true that you guys brewed a collaboration beer with Hoof Hearted that will be released at your event on May 2?

It’s called Roller Blabe Only available at The Daily Growler!

There’s been some buzz lately about a crowdfunding campaign you recently launched. The Daily Growler is trying to be the first business in Columbus to get a Crowler machine, the first non-brewery in the state of Ohio, and the first in the country to have a mobile Crowler machine. You guys are quite the trendsetters! But what is a Crowler?

Half can, half growler.

Recycleable. Sealed on site.

Stays fresh for a month.

Wow! That’s really cool. So if we understood your video, this machine will be one component of a mobile Daily Growler truck, which will also feature taps and a cooler. This will allow you to travel around to festivals and events and serve craft beer on-site.

You even have plans to travel to small breweries around the state and crowl their beer for them, giving them the

ability to can their beer without having to invest in a canning line or their own Crowler machine. There is still time left in the campaign, and people can go your website, TheDailyGrowler.com, to check it out.

Was that a question?

They CAN (get it) and they should!

Time is running out!

A few months ago, you were featured on the TV segment Good Day Marketplace, we were surprised when the host Shawn Ireland brought up your alleged previous relationship with Emma Stone. Would you care to comment or set the record straight?

I’m very private.

I don’t talk about Emma.

She don’t talk ‘bout me.

Encourage a love of physical activity in youngsters According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, children and adolescents should engage in physical activity for 60 minutes or more each day. While fulfilling those requirements might not have been a problem for kids who grew up before the dawn of the Internet, nowadays kids are spending less time playing outside and more time on their computers or other devices.

That reality is problematic for parents who want their kids to embrace physical activity thanks to the positive impact that exercise can have on kids’ physical and mental well-being. Parents hoping to instill a love of physical activity in their youngsters may find that taking a more active role by exercising with their kids is an effective way to get them off the couch and away from their computer screens.

• Turn errands into exercise opportunities. Many parents take their children along with them when running errands. When such errands don’t necessarily require the use of a car, consider riding bicycles instead. Kids who otherwise don’t enjoy errands may now find them more fun, all the while fulfilling their daily recommended quotas for exercise and spending quality time with their parents.

• Include kids in your own athletic pursuits. Parents might not be able to take younger kids along with them to the gym, but that does not mean your youngsters must be excluded from all of your athletic pursuits. If you have any upcoming athletic activities or challenges on your schedule, such as a new recreational sports season or community fun run or 5K, let kids tag

along as you train or practice. Parents of adolescents can inquire at their local gyms if they offer discounted memberships to teens. If so, take kids along with you on trips to the gym so they learn the value and benefits of daily strength and conditioning exercises.

• Make more time to play. Parents may already have busy schedules, but finding time to play with their kids is a great way to get youngsters to embrace physical activity. Kids might be reluctant to shoot hoops in the driveway if no one is willing to join them, but they will likely be far more willing to do so if mom and dad are willing to play with them. This is not only a good way for parents to ensure their kids get enough exercise, but also a great and fun way for moms and dads to make time for physical activity.

• Recognize that physical activity does not have to mean organized sports. Some kids have no interest in team sports while others do not have the athletic ability to compete after a certain age. Parents who want their kids to exercise more should recognize that there are plenty of ways to be physically active that do not involve organized team sports. Hiking; riding bicycles; swimming at a nearby pool, lake or ocean; and even going for nightly walks are all physical activities that people of all ages and athletic abilities can enjoy.

Physical activity is an important component of a healthy lifestyle. While getting kids to put down their tablets and gaming system remote controls may not be easy, parents who resolve to exercise with their children might find their youngsters more receptive to regular physical activity.
