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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lead the Way’s balanced approach to training improves lives of dogs and owners alike Lead the Way K9 Training is a licensed & insured family-owned business that offers outstanding dog training and structured boarding/day-care services to the greater Columbus area. Lead the Way K9 Training is based out of Delaware, Ohio just outside of Powell, Ohio. We help create balanced relationships between humans and dogs through leadership, obedience, behavior modification and socialization. The key to creating a successful dog-human relationship is that the training you learn continues to be applied, even after your dog’s training program is complete.

Brittany & Josh Pederson are the co-owners and trainers of Lead the Way K9 Training! Brittany and Josh truly feel blessed to be training dogs every day, and making a difference not only in dogs’ lives, but most importantly, the families in their community. Brittany and Josh established the facility on their property, which is just over an acre in size. The dogs have room to run and play with each other. Lead the Way K9 Training provides a well-kept facility which is a climate controlled indoor area so that the dogs can rest in comfort.

When you entrust your dog to us, you can rest easy knowing that your pet will not be in a crate all day long. We treat dogs like family.

Our philosophy at Lead the Way K9 Training is a balanced approach. We know every dog is different, so we treat each dog as an individual, and with tons of care. We focus on creating relationships with humans and dogs by utilizing basic foundational obedience, leadership, and state of mind exercises. Behavior problems often times develop from a lack of structure and leadership within the dog’s home. If we focus on the daily foundational exercises, structure, balance and accountability, along with corrections for behaviors we don’t like, and rewards for things we do, most bad behaviors will become a thing of the past. No matter what the challenge is, we will tackle your dog’s issues head on and make a difference in both of your lives.

Advanced Orthopedic and 24/7 Emergency care for your pet:

Tutoring benefits and how to find a tutor that fits Children tend to learn at their own pace, and certain subjects may challenge them more than others. In many instances, students can benefit from working with tutors.

Tutors can be very effective. Children who work with tutors and then see their grades improve may develop greater confidence and feel less anxious about going to school or taking tests.

Without intervention like tutoring, at-risk students (those who are not meeting academic standards) may not pass their classes, and some may face year-end retention or experience difficulty keeping up in the next grade.

The National Tutoring Association says students at all grade levels participating in tutorial programs improve their reading performance and can achieve significant cognitive gains. Tutoring can be the answer for students affected by inconsistent delivery of classroom content. For example, when families move, students may be forced to catch up in a new school where teachers may have different styles than students’ previous teachers. Students who have missed classroom time due to illness or injury may face similar difficulties.

Sometimes children struggle because they have difficulty processing or remembering their lessons. In such instances, a fresh approach through oneon-one tutoring may be necessary.

Parents and students have different tutoring options at their disposal. Some services may be offered through the school system at no extra charge. Pull-out instruction during the day or before or after school might be part of such services.

Private tutors, academic coaches, peer

tutors, online tutoring, and home tutoring are other options. Depending on need, budget and comfort levels, families can explore these and other options at their disposal.

The NTA says families should not discount peer tutoring. Peer tutoring is a cost-effective way to improve performance.

This type of tutoring also can contribute to students’ social and cognitive development.

According to Care.com, which helps consumers find tutors, caretakers and babysitters, one can expect to pay an average $10 to $15 for a peer high school student tutor. Comparatively, a private tutor, whether it’s a professional teacher or a tutor hired through a service, may charge as much as $75 per hour.

Parents should contact their children’s schools for information about tutoring programs. Schools typically keep lists of tutors or tutoring programs.

Examine credentials and seek recommendations prior to hiring a tutor to get a feel for the person and his or her teaching philosophy. Certified tutors also can be found by visiting www.ntatutor. com.

Keep in mind that it isn’t enough for the tutor to know the subject matter. He or she also has to relate to your child. According to the tutoring firm Test Prep Authority, motivation plays a key role in the success or failure of a students’ work with tutors.

Motivation may be compromised if the tutor and student do not connect.

Tutors also should know how to present materials in ways similar to how it is being taught in school so that lessons are in sync.

Tutoring has helped many children gain confidence and succeed in school.

School hygiene tips Children are in close contact with others at schools and daycare facilities, where germs can be easily transmitted. Children may not be as conscientious as adults in regard to the health risks associated with poor hygiene. These tips can keep students stay healthy and help prevent germs from being transported home, where they can affect other members of the family.

• Hand washing is essential to good hygiene. Children should wash their hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, before eating and after playing outdoors.

• Children can bring along their own tissues and use

them when their noses become runny. Tissues should be promptly discarded after use.

• Parents should ensure that fingernails are clean, as under the fingernails can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Clipping fingernails and regular hand washing can remove a number of germs.

• Keep ill children home from school, especially if they have a fever. Kids should not return to school until they are fever- or symptom-free.

• Toys and community supplies should be washed or disinfected regularly to kill germs. Cleaning classroom furniture regularly also can help establish healthy educational environments.

Infinity from Marvin specializes in replacement fiberglass windows and doors When it comes to remodeling, there is typically a long list of items that come to mind before replacing windows and doors. Generally, people gravitate toward kitchens and bathrooms, rooms where a remodel makes a large aesthetic difference and increases the wow factor of the home.

Nevertheless, while windows and doors might seem to have less appeal than other remodeling projects, replacing them can have a huge impact on energy savings and the look and feel of the home.

So how do you know if it is time to replace windows or doors? Many people assume windows and doors last forever, but the average lifespan of a window or door is about 15 to 25 years, depending on the materials.

Symptoms of failing windows and doors range from obvious to subtle. Over time, windows may become difficult to open or doors might stick when opened. Or perhaps they stop opening at all. Cranks and locks may break, and wood rot may develop in the window or the surrounding trim.

Another common symptom is seal failure; when windowpanes become foggy and there is condensation between the panes that is impossible to wipe off.

This indicates the window or door has been expanding and contracting with temperature changes, and the insulated gas has leaked out of the windows and the seal has failed or popped. These symptoms typically accompany drafts that homeowners can feel during colder months. While there are short-term solutions such as glass replacement or repair, the long-term solution is to replace the window or door.

The replacement process can be

intimidating for many, especially those who have never done large remodeling projects.

It is important to find a company that you trust and that has a good reputation in the industry. Warranty is also something to consider prior to getting your windows and doors replaced. Infinity from Marvin will schedule a free in-home estimate to meet with you to go over some options for your project, and the company has showrooms where you can visit and see and touch the products. Aside from visiting websites, make sure to look up reviews for companies on sites like Angie’s List, Google and the Better Business Bureau prior to scheduling an appointment.

Once you have decided to replace your windows and doors, the product material is an important factor to consider.

Popular materials include vinyl, wood and fiberglass, and each has elements to review and consider. While typically the cheapest option, vinyl windows tend to expand and contract with changes in temperature, which leads to seal failure and drafts over time. Wood windows have a traditional look and feel but have a higher level of maintenance and carry the risk of rotting. For something that lasts for years with little to no maintenance, fiberglass windows and doors are the best option. Infinity from Marvin offers a fiberglass product that is eight times stronger than its vinyl competitors and three and a half times stronger than wood products, allowing Infinity from Marvin to back its industry-leading lifetime warranty and produce products that are Built for Life.

Infinity from Marvin is part of the larger Marvin Window and Door Family,

a leader in the industry for more than 100 years. Specializing in replacement fiberglass windows and doors, the team at Infinity from Marvin is dedicated to customer service and helping customers find the right solutions for their homes.

Infinity products feature patented Ultrex fiberglass and come in a variety of colors, styles and sizes. Everything is custom made for your home so you get a product that is perfect for what you need, and with all our representatives having years of experience

in the home improvement industry, you can trust that you will get advice that is right for your project.

Infinity from Marvin has two stores in Ohio, in Columbus and in Cleveland.

The Columbus showroom is in the Polaris area at 400-1 Lazelle Road, and is open throughout the week and on Saturdays for walk-in traffic. Customers can also visit www.InfinityWindowsOhio.com for more information, or call 877-545-9224 to get connected with an Infinity team member.
