How to become a Creativity overflows at library superhero Creative Foundations in both our art studio and new store!
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.

Why is the Council for Older Adults now called SourcePoint? Last year, the Council for Older Adults and Senior Citizens, Inc. merged, and we are proud to announce a new identity for our combined organization. As of April 27, the Council for Older Adults is now called SourcePoint, and our new motto is “Thrive after 55!� This name change is the result of not only the merger but a great deal of consideration and research. As the head of our organization since 1992, I wanted to share with you my personal perspective on why this change was so necessary. Our merged organization is not simply the sum of two parts. When we brought together the vital resources that the two organizations offered, we found that we were more than just an in-home care agency and more than just a community center for people over 55. We are now the central source in Delaware County for those who want to live well as they age. The name “SourcePoint� represents our role as our community’s central source and starting point for everything needed to thrive after 55! While our name has changed, we are not changing the fundamentals of who we are and what we are known for throughout the community. We will continue to provide choices for older
people; to offer the same high-quality coordinated home care services that we always have; to expand supportive services and programs as new needs become apparent; and evolve to meet the changing needs of a rapidly growing population. This new brand represents our effort to open our arms wide to all of those who need us, as well as all of those who want to volunteer to serve their community and be a part of our success. Changing our name symbolizes this next proud step in our evolution to better serve our community with a broader range of choices with just one call or visit to SourcePoint. —Bob Horrocks Executive Director, SourcePoint

Did you know? Dining outdoors when the weather is warm can make for a pleasant change of pace. While certain aspects of eating outside can be enticing, Mother Nature can sometimes complicate the experience. Wind is one challenge to dining outside, as diners may find themselves chasing paper napkins or airborne plastic cups on windy afternoons or evenings. To safeguard against the wind, rely on reusable, heavy
plastic items that are less likely to blow away in the wind. Also, keep tablecloths in place with a few supplies. Use a grommet-making tool to punch holes into the tablecloth and attach plastic or metal grommets. Place the tablecloth on the table and slip a thin bungee cord fastener to a grommet on the underside of the table. Stretch the cord across to a grommet on the other side of the tablecloth and secure.
“Real Estate. Real Easy.� More than a slogan at C.G. Boyce Real Estate Co. it has become a way of life. The company, founded in March 2015, focuses on making every real estate transaction as easy as possible for its clients through a unique customer-centric real estate approach. Customer-Centric is when a company “places the customer at the center of a company’s marketing effort, focusing on customers rather than sales,� according to dictionary.com. CGB takes it beyond the marketing effort with every decision made with customers in mind. “Real estate isn’t brain surgery,� says Toby Boyce, broker and president for C.G. Boyce Real Estate Co. “But too often the focus becomes skewed and the goal becomes the transaction. When it should always be on the client’s best interest.� The company will service customers in residential, commercial and investment with new-agent Suzanne Holt
leading the residential team and Boyce on the commercial and investment side. “We are honored to have Suzanne in our fold,� Boyce said. “She may be new to real estate but her past experience will benefit her clients. In our strategic review, there was a noticeable gap available in the Delaware area for a local community-centered agency.� C.G. Boyce Real Estate Co. is located at 425 S.

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.

Home Savings adds Advanced Eyecare: Love your eyes the personal touch like we do! 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. “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.

Delaware General Health District recommends childhood-safe, cost-effective vaccine schedule The routine childhood immunization program remains one of the most cost-effective and safe prevention programs in public health. An analysis, (applied to children born in 2009) published in the April 2014 Pediatrics journal, showed that routine childhood immunizations in this birth cohort will prevent 42,000 early deaths and 20 million cases of disease, with a net savings of $13.5 billion in direct costs and $68.8 billion in total societal costs, respectively. Every dollar spent ultimately saves at least 10 dollars. Vaccines are held to the highest standard of safety. The United States currently has the safest, most effective vaccine supply in history. Years of testing are required by law before a vaccine can be licensed. Once in use, vaccines are continually monitored for safety and effectiveness. Myths and misinformation regarding vaccinations continue to cause concerns for parents. One common myth is “The number of vaccines a baby gets can overload the immune system.” Actually, an infant can easily respond to thousands of antigens at any given time and are exposed to thousands of antigens every day in the environment. Even though there are more childhood vaccines available today, the actual antigens contained in the full recommended schedule are just 126 compared to more than 3,041 in 1980. Another myth “Most of the vac-
Routine childhood immunizations in this birth cohort will prevent 42,000 early deaths and 20 million cases of disease, with a net savings of $13.5 billion in direct costs and $68.8 billion in total societal costs — April 2014 Pediatrics journal cine preventable diseases don’t even exist anymore.” Vaccine preventable diseases are just a plane ride away, as evidenced by the 2014 mumps and measles outbreaks in central Ohio and the current national measles outbreak. Outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases in unvaccinated and undervaccinated groups are a real cause for concern because it puts everyone at risk. Vaccines are not 100 percent effective, so vaccine-preventable diseases may return if high immunization rates are not maintained. Not vaccinating and having a child get a serious disease is not a risk worth taking. The best place to get vaccine information is from the child’s healthcare provider or a reputable website such as vaccineinformation.org or vaccine. chop.org. A Delaware General Health District nurse is always available to discuss childhood immunizations by calling (740) 203-2040. Visit DelawareHealth.org for clinic information.

Weeknight activities the whole family can enjoy Many families have their own routines on weeknights. Kids may tackle their homework before dinner, and once everyone’s plate is clean, family members may spend time together or go their separate ways, spending time online with friends or watching their favorite television programs on the couch. Parents who feel their weeknights don’t include enough family time are often on the hunt for more familyfriendly activities the whole family can enjoy even if everyone has to go to work or school the next day. The following are a handful of family-friendly weeknight activities that can bring families closer together. • Movie night: Family movie night is a tradition for many families, and parents who want to spend more time together as families may find that movie night is a great way to share a few laughs or even facilitate discussions about important topics broached in certain films. Each week let a different family member pick that week’s movie and ask him or her to explain his or her choice and why they think it’s a film the whole family will enjoy. Let the kids join you as you get the popcorn ready or make special treats to enjoy while the movie is playing. • Family walk: Walking is a great way for parents to instill a love of physical activity in their children, and nightly walks also make great opportunities for families to leave their devices behind and discuss the goings-on in their lives. Weather permitting, take a family walk after dinner each night, which can help make your family healthier and strengthen the bonds between family members. • Writing activities: Another way families can escape their devices and resist the temptation of social media on weeknights is to get together for
weekly writing sessions. Ask each family member to create brief lists on a range of topics, whether it’s a list of favorite books or countries each person wants to visit or a bucket list of things each family member wants to do at one point in their lives. Allow about 15 minutes for each person to write his or her lists, and then discuss each person’s list, including the inspiration behind each item that made it onto the lists. • Game night: Classic board games
or games like checkers might not be as popular today as they were prior to the advent of the Internet, but that does not mean a night centered around such games does not still make for a very family-friendly evening. Stock up on some classic board games and share the responsibility of choosing which game to play each week. Board games can take up to a few hours to play, and that’s a great opportunity for families to share some laughs without being interrupted by their devices.
• Crafts night: Arts and crafts night is another great way for families to spend time together. Parents can choose ageappropriate projects that can help kids and adults alike tap into their creative sides. Solicit ideas when planning crafts night so everyone feels like they played their part. Nights together as a family do not need to be limited to weekends. Parents willing to get a little creative can enjoy family-friendly evenings no matter what day it happens to be.
How to repurpose items for new and useful purposes The “reduce, reuse and recycle” movement has grown increasingly popular as more men, women and children look to adopt eco-friendly lifestyles. By considerably cutting back on waste, people are doing their part to reduce the size of landfills, safeguard natural habitats and keep neighborhoods and local communities clean. Municipal public works organizations may have recycling programs in place that make it convenient for residents to recycle items by placing them at the curb for pickup. But prior to putting items out for recycling, people can investigate if it’s possible to reuse an item in a new way. The following are some creative ways to repurpose items around the house. • Transform shirts into shopping totes. With some modest sewing skills, you can turn an old shirt into a reusable shopping tote. Seal the bottom of the shirt securely. You may want to slip a piece of cardboard in the bottom to make it more durable. Then either sew or tie the sleeves of a shirt to make handles. • Craft can bird feeders. Cut a sturdy can in half and punch holes into either end. String rope through the holes and tie to create a hanger. Place in a tree branch and watch the birds stop by for a treat. • Design unique planters. Just about any vessel can be turned into a pot to house a plant. From teapots to cups to mason jars, items can be cleverly trans-
and doll clothes. • Turn old books into shelves. Rather than placing books on shelves, make the books the shelves! With a few shelving brackets and some sturdy, hardcover books, you now have interesting shelves to display other items. Ladders and even old folding chairs also can be repurposed as shelves. • Turn doors into decor. Old doors can be put to use all over the house. Attach legs and transform a door into a coffee table. Secure a door to a wall and it instantly becomes a piece of art. Take out a door frame and use it to hold a mirror. Plus, doors Before items get discarded or recycled, see if they can be put to use in new and interesting ways. can be used to craft headboards and footboards for beds. When thinking When you have several denim squares, formed to display greenery. creatively, you can find many ways to sew them together to make a hanging • Sew a pocket organizer. Before breathe new life into items that may be pocket organizer to hold everything you discard old jeans that are torn or on their way to the trash or recycling from small toys to crafting tools. Old no longer fit, remove the square of fabric surrounding the back pocket. jeans also can be turned into knapsacks bins.
