Get the scoop on pool sanitizers Many homeowners enjoy the convenience and recreational value of having a pool in their backyards. Pools can be a great spot to gather on warm days, often serving as the centerpiece of summer recreation. Pools require substantial upkeep to function properly and be safe for swimming. The right combination of factors are needed to maintain a proper water balance to prevent skin and eye irritation as well as to ensure the water is clean. Sanitizers play a significant role in ensuring that safety. Various sanitizers are on the market, although people are most familiar with chlorine-based sanitizers. The goal of a sanitizer is to prevent the growth of bacteria and algae in pool water. Sanitizers also will inhibit the growth of viruses and other organic contaminants. First-time homeowners who have never had a pool may find it challenging to choose a sanitizer that will work for them. Each sanitizer has its share of pros and cons, but many homeowners hope to find one that is both cost-effective and convenient. The following are some of the sanitizers to consider. • Liquid chlorine: Sodium hypochlorite, also known as bleach, is a common pool sanitizer. Liquid chlorine does not have any additives and will not affect pool water in any other way except for providing sanitation. Liquid chlorine can be cumbersome to store and splashing the product while adding it to the water can damage clothing. • Cal-hypo: Calcium hypochlorite is another sanitizing option for pools. It is usually sold in granular form because pucks or sticks will break down too quickly in chlorine feeders. Cal-hypo is often an unstabilized form of chlorine, which means it does not have a
stabilizing chemical mixed with it to prevent chlorine burn-off from the sun. Depending on your needs, unstabilized chlorine can be an asset or a detriment. • Dichlor and trichlor: Dichloro-striazinetrione and trichloro-s-triazinetrione are two different stabilized chlorine sources. They are mixed with a substance called cyanuric acid, which helps prevent the quick usage of chlorine in outdoor pools. Sunlight can reduce the efficacy of chlorine, and this stabilizer will help buffer that effect. Since these chlorine sources typically come in pucks or tablets, they can be placed in feeders and will deliver consistent chlorine without daily maintenance. Trichlor has one of the highest levels of available chlorine of all pool sanitizers. However, one disadvantage is that if the stabilizer levels build up too much in the pool, you will require even more chlorine to combat this effect, sometimes creating a cycle of chlorine ineffectiveness. • Salt: Salt-cell pools use a process of electrolysis to extract chlorine from the salt added to the specialized equipment, thus sanitizing the pool automatically. Some people prefer salt because it seems more natural and requires less maintenance. • Bromine: Bromine is similar to chlorine. While the byproducts of chlorine do not benefit pool water, bromine byproducts can continue to sanitize the water, making it last longer than chlorine. Bromine can be more expensive than chlorine, which might deter homeowners looking for the most cost-effective pool sanitizer. Pool water chemistry can be a complex process. But homeowners have many options at their disposal when it comes time to choose the right sanitizer.
Sanitizers keep pool water safe for all swimmers.
How to find more time to travel Few people would likely say they donÕt enjoy traveling. Travel provides an opportunity to experience different cultures, visit idyllic locales and enjoy some rest and relaxation. But as much as people love to travel, finding more time to do so is not always so easy, even for those people with a sufficient amount of vacation days at their disposal. Oftentimes, finding more time to travel requires some extra and earlier planning. • Reconsider when you travel. Building a trip around a long weekend is an easy way to find more time to travel. Consider the holidays that fall on a Monday, such as Memorial Day, Labor Day and Columbus Day. Plan a getaway for these long weekends and you wonÕt even need to use a vacation day. If you have the vacation time to burn, extend the trip one day by leaving on Friday or returning on Tuesday. By the time your trip ends, you will have enjoyed a three-day getaway without using any vacation time or a four-day extended break during which you used just a single day of vacation time. Planning a week-long trip on a holiday week is another way to save a vacation day for later in the year. • Extend business trips. Business travelers who typically travel on Mondays and/ or return home on Fridays can extend those trips to include the weekend preceding or following the trip. This gives you a better chance to explore the city where conferences or client meetings are being held, as business trips typically leave little time to get to a know a city or see its attractions. Business travelers can plan
family trips around their work trips, giving families a great and often cost-effective way to see various locales. • Use your allotted vacation time. A 2013 study from Oxford Economics found that American workers took an average of 16 days of vacation in 2013, which represented a roughly 20 percent decline from 2000, when workers took an average of 20.3 vacation days. The United States Travel Association discovered a similar pattern, finding that in 2013 workers used just 16 of their nearly 21 days of earned time off. Perhaps the easiest way working men and women can find more time to travel is to make use of all of the vacation days they earn as oppose to letting them fall by the wayside at the end of their companiesÕ calendar years. • Negotiate with your employer. Many employers have grown increasingly flexible as technology has made it easier for employees to work remotely. Men and women who want to find more time to travel should not be afraid to negotiate more travel time with their employers, even offering to work remotely from whichever destination they plan to visit. This can be an especially effective way for parents to extend family vacations in the summertime, as one parent can take the kids in the mornings and afternoons while the other works. Come nighttime, the whole family can still enjoy all the fun of a typical vacation. Travel is a luxury that even busy men and women can enjoy if they employ certain strategies to create more time to get away.

By The Book Financial - from Spanish to accounting, Sarah now helps solve your financial problems As she was growing up, if someone had told Sarah Fennell she’d be running an accounting business, she’d have thought they were crazy. She loved languages. She was shy. She hated arithmetic. What happened? She loved learning. And she learned to love people. Sarah loves to solve puzzles, and problems are just puzzles with a human element. She started with a BA in Spanish and a Business minor, then a Masters in International Relations. She moved to Maryland, where she couldn’t find a job in her field, so she switched to teaching ESOL. When she was unable to find a job in that field, she “stumbled” into accounting. That’s when Sarah married her husband, Joe, who started a landscaping business shortly afterward. She then started doing income taxes and began to consider selfemployment. Soon after, they moved here, living literally around the corner
from where Joe grew up. Sarah wanted be able to work from home, to talk to and to help people in their daily lives without worrying about taking “the company’s” time. So in 2007, she started By The Book Financial, offering bookkeeping and budget services. Her goal was to help individuals and small businesses manage their money according to Biblical principles of stewardship. In 2014, she added income tax services and joined the Clintonville Chamber of Commerce. Last month, she joined Awesome Women in Business, a local networking group, as their Treasurer. Sarah and Joe are active in their church, where she chairs the Financial Accountability Committee. Sarah welcomes your business at (614) 459-8555 or email sfennell@bythebookfinancial.com.
Clintonville Academy: Why fit in when you can stand out? Thirty-seven years ago, a group of Clintonville families created a new school with a defining vision. Small classes would ensure that no child would be lost in the shuffle. Committed parents would be involved in the learning process. Teachers would nurture global citizens through academics, arts, community service and the flexibility to encourage each child’s unique capabilities. Today, Clintonville Academy is proud to continue this vision by providing a dynamic learning environment where children are appreciated for who they are. As a small, independent private school, CA offers art, music, foreign language, and core subjects from Pre-K to 8th grade, all free from the constraints of Common Core testing.
Students come from across the Columbus metropolitan area, but CA is proud to be a part of the Clintonville community. Service projects for the Clintonville Community Resources Center and a holiday luncheon for neighborhood seniors are annual traditions. Dr. Seuss once said, “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” At Clintonville Academy, every student has the opportunity to stand out, learn and grow. CA offers summer tours to families interested in enrolling for Fall 2015. Contact Registrar Julie Liggett at (614) 267-4799 for more information.

A “Pillar” of our community for over 91 years… Erected in 1838, the original Clinton Chapel building was 52 feet long and 37 feet high. It was built on land bequeathed by Thomas Bull to the Methodist Episcopal Church. During the forty-four years it was used as a church, Clinton Chapel had an eventful history. The church served as a regular station of the Underground Railroad, hiding many slaves in their escape to the north. Upon a shift in location of the majority of the church members, the Clinton Chapel was sold in 1882, to begin a new phase in its colorful history. As a remodeled private residence, 3100 North High Street was in the center of an area populated by families of Revolutionary War Veterans. It became known as a showplace and home of gracious hospitality. During the prohibition era, rumor has it that the proper credentials entitled visitors to enter a plush speak-easy. Reverting to residential use, the structure was privately owned until R.L. Southwick purchased it in 1938. Once again the building became a center of service to the Columbus area as Mr. Southwick moved his
funeral home from the west side of High Street to its present location. The Southwick-Good & Fortkamp Funeral Chapel is a family owned and operated organization founded by Raymond L Southwick (1894-1968) in 1924, and was joined by his son, Robert T. Southwick (1922-2005) after returning from active duty in the U.S. Navy during WWII. In 1967, Robert’s daughter and sonin-law, Rebecca Southwick Good and William R. Good, joined the firm and in 1994 their daughter, Barbara Good Fortkamp, joined the firm as the fourth generation of funeral directors and embalmers. Our facility has undergone several expansions, including a church-like chapel. The chapel allows the parlors to be designed as comfortable living rooms. A community room (with a full service kitchen) seats 25 people and is available on a first come, first serve basis for families to share a meal between calling hours or following the service. Adjoining the community room is a lounge area, which provides additional seating and a relaxing place for families and friends to visit.
From the original Clinton Chapel, this classic Clintonville location at 3100 N High St. boasts a storied history including being a station on the Underground Railroad, a rumored speak-easy, a private residence of generous hospitality and is now the present-day Southwick-Good & Fortkamp Funeral Chapel, where the fourth generation joins the service to the community and offers a church-like chapel, comfortable parlors and a community room with a fullservice kitchen.

Niederhelman shares the same attitude, which is why these partners maintain a great practice together. “We want to be your reliable source for the finest in dental care, and your first choice for friends and family,” Niederhelman adds, “We’re very glad to be back in Columbus, and want to grow our practice and dental family locally.” Tom is an Ohio native, growing up in Cincinnati and graduating from The Ohio State University in 1988 with a D.D.S. degree. He more recently returned to his studies and received a law degree from Concord Law School in 2004.

My goal is to help you maintain a lifelong healthy smile.” Niederhelman and Lewis also have offices in Cincinnati, Newark, and Whitehall, so they know how to grow and manage a business – primarily through hard work, genuine care, and an effort to make sure every patient knows how important they are.

Introducing unique and uplifting holistic health products that can transform your life What started as one individual selling herbal vitamins in 1976 has become the present-day Momentum98 in Clintonville. Located at 3509 North High Street in the center of Clintonville, Momentum98 focuses on community experience and bringing products and knowledge to individuals to help improve their lives. The slogan of the store is “Momentum! Taking Advantage of the Moment! Propelling Yourself into Greatness!� Many of the products owner Phil Wilson and wife Jana sell help people relax in the moment. When people embrace this moment, then that is the time when the magic in life can happen. Phil Wilson said, “I cherish freedom above all, an inner kind of freedom, one that does not allow guilt, nor fear.� His vast experience has brought him to this philosophy about life. Phil said that he has been going to health shows since 1975 and truly enjoys turning people onto to new products that can help uplift their lives, make them happier and create freedom. “When people discover and experience new levels of awareness it’s truly incredible. We discover a new freedom when we realize, for example, that getting tired in the middle of the day is not normal.� The products that Momentum98 sell support this vision of freedom and include a full array of professional massage tools, homeopathic remedies, alternative health information, household items and personal care wellness products, books, videos,
charts, yoga and fitness equipment, and of course, the very popular and affordable Relax Far Infrared Ray Portable Sauna—available in either sit up or lie down models. The Relax Far Infrared Sauna is the pinnacle of all of the products that Momentum98 has sold as it is completely in tune with their slogan of inspiring, and coaxing people to ‘Take Advantage of the Moment’, and create greatness in their lives. Dr. Sherry Rogers wrote the book “Detoxify or Die� as a testament to the Far Infrared Saunas and Dr. Bill Akpinar wrote “No Sweat, Know Sweat� about the healing power of sweating, and recommends the Relax Sauna for the home. Phil and wife Jana travel to about 20-30 shows a year demonstrating the Relax Sauna to holistic health professionals all over the country. The Relax Sauna stands head and shoulders above all other saunas in its effectiveness, its simplicity, its efficiency and its results.

Bishop Watterson: a school community guided by faith On the wall over the entrance to Bishop Watterson High School, the largest private high school in Columbus, are these words: “Christ is the reason for this school—the unseen, but ever-present teacher in its classes—the model of its faculty and the inspiration of its students.� These words inspire faculty and students alike to work hard to build a community of educated, well-rounded people of God who live in service to others. Our last three graduating classes averaged more than 26,000 hours of service to their communities over their four years at BWHS. Those same classes averaged more than $19 million in merit scholarships to colleges and universities. Our college preparatory curriculum offers 165 courses including honors, Advanced Placement and College
Credit Plus courses. In addition, BWHS prepares students to take their places in an increasingly technological world by offering a networked facility and a variety of computer-based courses, incorporating technology throughout the curriculum.

What is clean eating all about? Clean eating is a growing trend among people focused on health and wellness. A relatively simple concept of selecting foods that are minimally processed, clean eating intends to instill a greater understanding of the pathway between a food’s origins and the final products that end up on grocery store shelves and dinner tables. Choosing whole or “real� foods that are as close to their natural forms as possible is a staple of clean eating. The availability of convenience food products has never been greater, and not all packaged foods are unhealthy. But clean eating encourages consumers to be more aware of the ingredients in the foods they eat while selecting those foods that are minimally processed. Many foods designated as “clean,� including vegetables and fruits, whole grains, free-range meats, low-fat dairy products,
unsalted nuts, and whole seeds, are straight from
the farm. Another compo-

reducing the consumption of refined sugar. Many health experts advise that refined sugar is a large contributor to unnecessary calories. Many people can get all the energy they need by consuming foods with natural sugars. If an ingredient list includes names you cannot recognize or if the natural form of the food has been changed (i.e. removing the bran from whole grains), it cannot be included in a clean-eating plan. Also, foods that have a lot of additives, including salt, sugar and fat, are not classified as clean. Jessica Fanzo, assistant professor of nutrition at Columbia Univer-
sity, advises that not all food processing is bad. Processing is sometimes necessary to prevent pathogens that can lead to illness. For example, pasteurizing milk is a processing method, but one that is necessary to stop the proliferation of bacteria. Even steaming foods is processing in some form, but it is not on par with some of the overly processed foods available. The benefits to clean eating are numerous. Increasing intake of fruits and vegetables can boost your immune system and serve as a nutritious way to maintain a healthy weight. Clean eating may help you become more conscious of everything from meal ingredients to portion sizes. Those interested in clean eating can begin slowly. Start to introduce more fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and farm-fresh foods into your diet. Look for foods in their natural form, such as whole oats and other grains. Avoid highly refined ingredients and limit sugar and salt intake. Opt for fresh herbs and spices to season food. Over time you can make other changes. Adopting a cleaneating approach to their diet is a great way for men and women to start living healthy lifestyles. Speak with a doctor or nutritionist about healthy and effective ways to transition to clean eating.
Pets can get stressed during a move, but extra care and consideration can make the transition easierÂ
 Â? Â?Â? Â?  ÂÂÂ?
 According to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy, moving is one of the most common reasons a pet is given to an animal shelter and the No. 1 reason why a dog is given away. The lack of knowledge about pet care and relocation often leads to people to leave their pet behind.  The experts at Two Men and a TruckŽ and www.hsus.org offer a few tips to make the move easier for pet owners: Before the move: • Remember to update pet’s tags and information with the new address and contact information as soon as possible. • Visit the veterinarian to get a physical and a copy of the pet’s medical history. • Keep pets contained when movers are present and while traveling to prevent injuries or runaway animals. Cats: • Before and after the move, surround
the cat with familiar objects ? feeding and water bowls, toys, blanket or bed. • Gradually introduce them to the new home by restricting them to one or two rooms at first. Dogs: • Slowly introduced to the new surroundings—dogs should be leashed outside until comfortable with the area. • Consider arranging a friend or pet sitter to come over for a couple hours a day to ease the dog’s anxiety if you are unable to stay home the first few days. Fish: • Traveling is the most difficult part of the moving process for fish. Place in bags with a mix of new water and clean water from their aquarium—the less the fish are crowded the better. Put rubber bands around the top and place the bags inside a dark, insulated cooler. • Let the filter run for a few hours before putting fish back in the tank. Try to limit time away from the normal habitat to less than 48 hours.

Begley Upholstering celebrates more than 47 years of service in Clintonville Mary Young is almost Before speechless as she stands in the showroom of Begley Upholstering to pick up her antique loveseat. “I can’t believe the transformation, it’s simply beautiful! This loveseat belonged to my grandfather and is very special to me and I needed someone special to recover it. I’m so glad I found Begleys”. Since 1968 the Begley family has been hearing such compliments. Robb Begley, second generation explains, “My father would tell me that people will ‘care how much you know once they know how much you care.’ And we try to prove how much we care on every piece we work on. So when I hear compliments like Mrs. Young’s, it means the world to me.” It’s clear that the artisan craftsmanship is what gets Robb excited about his business. He is always willing to walk customers through his workroom and point out the detailed work that is performed at their Clintonville location. Frames glued, springs tied, padding replaced. All neces-

With over 30,000 fabric samples, dozens of specialty trims, and an in-house decorator finding the perfect cover for any project is an almost certainty.
