Arlington Urgent Care thanks the community for continued support Once again Arlington Urgent Care, Inc. would like to thank the community for its continued support. “The Upper Arlington and surrounding residents continue to support our mission of providing quality, neighborhood health care,” said Dr. Michael Rankin, owner of Arlington Urgent Care, Inc. “This is evidenced by our online reviews, which consistently rank the best in central Ohio. Our wonderful and dedicated staff shares this same philosophy of service to the community.” A native of Upper Arlington, Rankin attended St. Agatha Elementary School, St. Charles Preparatory High School, The Ohio State University and Medical College of Ohio. His medical training was done at Mount Carmel Medical Center. He practiced 17 years in a busy emergency room at Fairfield Medical Center in Lancaster before returning to his home town and opening Arlington Urgent Care in 2011. He is supported by his practice manager, Molly Fulton M.B.A., who is also his daughter, his son Matthew Rankin who is the lead medical assistant, and his wife of 37 years, Carol Rankin who is invaluable to daily operation of the company. Arlington Urgent Care has

assembled a tremendous staff of physician assistants, all of who have extensive experience in emergency medicine or family medicine. Christine Mack, PA-C, Whitney Cramer, PA-C, Megan Leach, PA-C, Amanda Webber, PA-C, and Jessica Wohl, PA-C, are the main providers with Gregg LaFontaine, PA-C, Erin Zahorujko, PA-C, Chris Webber, PA-C, and Alyssa Ulery, PA-C, working part-time. This year Donna Lutz, LPN was added as the human resources director and office manager. The ancillary staff of medical assistants, LPN’s, X-ray technologists and receptionist have continued to grow and develop into a quality team. “Last year was our expansion year with the opening of two new clinics in the central Ohio area. Bexley Urgent Care and Worthington Urgent Care have been open for over one year and have proven to provide the same quality health care as our parent company, Arlington Urgent Care,”Rankin said. All of the clinics offer the same high level of medical care and continue to be the state’s only accredited urgent

care facilities, the highest level of distinction for urgent care centers as defined by the Urgent Care Association of America. In today’s busy world, an illness or injury needs quick, quality health care. Many of these illnesses or injuries do not require an expensive and timeconsuming visit to the local emergency room and often scheduling an appointment with their a primary- care providers is inadequate. Arlington Urgent Care offers walk-in medical care as well as the option to schedule an appointment online during the weekdays. The practice is open seven days a week and providers are capable of handling all acute conditions. On-site X-ray and splinting are also available. “Not only do we treat common illness and injuries but we have the capability to perform more extensive care such as IV fluid administration, bladder catherization, lesion, wart or mole removal, joint injections and minor surgical procedures,” Rankin said. This year we are planning to continue our mission of providing quality health care and will be introducing some new treatment options that we feel will be very exciting to the community.”

I was happy with how everything went and how it

all turned out,” says another client. “Everybody at Compass Homes was very professional and thoughtful about our home. We worked directly with everyone at Compass.

Treating home remodeling clients like family

here’s an unexpected relationship that forms when working with The Cleary Company.

“Once clients hire us, they become part of our family,” says owner George Cleary. When he founded his company in 1994 out of his home on Edgevale Road, he started out primarily by working on homes in Upper Arlington and Clintonville for people he had known most of his life. It was a client base that would lay the groundwork for a philosophy that has permeated his company ever since. The truth about home remodeling is that it can be a hard, messy process, but treating clients like family helps ensure the final product and the client experience is exceptional. This ability to stay connected, coupled with an incredible team of skilled professionals helps create client satisfaction and in most cases clients for life. In fact, over 70 percent of the projects the company built in 2017 were from repeat clients and from referrals from past or current clients. While his team explores clients’ personal tastes, budgets and lifestyles, they also gain an in-depth understanding of clients’ greater visions for their homes. “Because we treat every client’s home like our own, we understand today’s decisions will impact tomorrow’s dreams,” he says. “We approach our design proposals holistically, thinking about clients’ future needs and budgets.” Beyond treating their clients like family, here are other advantages of working with The Cleary Company:

1. Team Cleary And Your One Stop Shop

Working with The Cleary Company means you have a team of professionals working on your home. They coordinate and manage every detail of your project — technical drawings, permits, trade contractors, and first-rate suppliers. It starts at the top, with the owner, George. From there they have everyone involved from the general manager, project developers, designers, project managers, carpenters, to the warranty specialist. The top-notch office staff is also there to assist clients every step of the way. Their clients have one point of contact with a team that takes care of everything.

2. The Tiny Touches For Every Project

No matter the remodeling project, The Cleary Company creates a space that is personal to their clients with tiny touches. Whether it’s customized storage solutions with pull-out drawers, extra outlets and

lighting, or a custom cabinet for a beloved family pet; whatever clients can dream up, The Cleary Company considers how each space is going to be used and creates a plan to guarantee it will function perfectly for their clients’ needs. Those tiny touches and accents ultimately make living easier and more enjoyable.

3. Our Trade Partners Matter

There are quite a few reasons a good design/build remodeler is able to complete many high quality, unique projects. Collaboration and developing long-term relationships with like-minded industry professionals is very important. At The Cleary Company, they feel a huge component to their success has been finding the right type of people and companies to work with and the key to maintaining the fun, family-like character of their team. They also value continuing education within the industry and utilize their affiliations with NARI, ASID, NKBA, and others to improve their abilities

to assist clients with their design and remodeling needs.

4. Their App

By downloading The Cleary Company’s app, clients can be informed not only on what work is in progress but also what work to expect in the upcoming days/weeks. Clients can make payments and approve selections online, even if they’re out of town!

5. Paying It Forward

George and his Team believe giving back to the communities where they live and work is just as important to them as it is their clients. The company sponsors many local school sports team and fundraisers but beyond that they give time and talent to many local events and non-profits. Some examples include, assisting with renovations at Women’s City Club of Delaware and cabins at Camp Mary Orton. For the last 6 years their team has participated in KickButt Columbus, cleaning up trash along the highway ramps at SR-315 and Henderson Rd.

Remodeling done right starts with a plan Creating custom spaces personalized for each client’s needs is what George Cleary and his team at The Cleary Company focuses on accomplishing with each project they complete. Their Design Build approach to home and light commercial remodeling integrates the design, estimating and construction scope from the beginning of each project. This approach quickly focuses on what is to be done within each client’s space and budget. The drawings and selections are completed before contracts are signed and demo begins creating a better understanding between their team and their clients of the project’s costs and scheduling. Remodeling your home can be a very emotional process. To help clients navigate each stage of their project The Cleary Company uses a combination of humor and technology to set expectations up front. A fun infographic is posted on each jobsite to remind each client there is a beginning, middle and end to their project and serves as a visual representation that their team understands the disruptions to the family’s schedule. Their production team also utilizes an online interactive project management system for scheduling and updating daily logs. The project manager and carpenter assigned to each project post photos and brief descriptions of the daily/weekly progress on the jobsite. Our unique app ensures there is always clear communication between you and everyone working on your project. You can meet George and his Team Thursday, May 24, from 6:30 pm-8:30pm at their Design Center open house. These popular Wine & Design events feature food, drinks and new product selections available from their most popular brands. To RSVP send an email to april@clearycompany. com. You can also follow The Cleary Company on their social media profiles: Facebook, Instagram and Houzz.

Key steps to The Cleary Company’s remodel-design-build process Step 1: Design Includes space planning, conceptual and architectural drawings, and product selections. Step 2: Estimating Includes meetings with trade partners onsite to get accurate bids, discussing permits with municipalities and creating the scope of work needed to complete your project. Step 3: The Construction Includes all stages from demolition through installations to cleaning and the final punch out. Step 4: Living Time to enjoy your new space.

Making the most of family vacations Family vacations can seem like daunting endeavors to organize, as planners must cater to each member of the family and their individual needs. Family vacations can cost several thousand dollars, which only adds to the pressure planners may be under. But careful planning makes it possible to simplify the process so more time can be spent resting, relaxing and having fun.

3 Memorial Day weekend travel tips Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. In 2017, the automotive group AAA estimated that 40 million Americans would travel 50 miles or more on Memorial Day weekend. Those estimates also projected that 34.6 million vehicles would be used to make those trips. Often referred to as “the unofficial beginning of summer,” Memorial Day and the weekend that precedes it has become synonymous with beach trips and backyard barbecues. Travelers who want to avoid traffic jams and ensure their weekends get off on the right foot can benefit from employing these three travel-savvy strategies. 1. Start the weekend early. In its “State of American Vacation 2017” survey, Project: Time Off found that 662 million vacation days were unused in 2016. People traveling for Memorial Day who typically leave some vacation days on the table can start their weekends early this year. Many offices close early the Friday before Memorial Day, and workers who aren’t so lucky may just leave work early, meaning Friday afternoon traffic figures to be heavy. By leaving Thursday afternoon or evening, travelers can avoid the Friday rush to the beach.

Child-friendly hotel One of the “musts” when booking a family vacation is finding the right accommodations. This often means booking rooms at family-friendly hotels. Things to look for when seeking hotels include amenities like swimming pools and recreation areas, nearby parks and other attractions that kids can enjoy, and easy access to stores that sell necessities. When booking a room, request one that is close to the elevator or the breakfast buffet. If you have youngsters who nap or go to bed early, try to book adjoining rooms or one-bedroom suites. This way the kids are tucked in but accessible, allowing adults to enjoy their downtime.

Pack as lightly as possible

Plan the trip together

Allow for downtime

Get the entire family involved when planning a vacation and let children who are old enough to have a say in some of the travel plans. Let kids choose some activities, pick some restaurants or even select which seats to sit in on the airplane.

While it’s beneficial to have an itinerary, leave some moments for spontaneity and rest. You don’t want to return home so tired from the trip that you need another break. Use downtime as opportunities for kids to lead the way.

Pack light and, if possible, buy some necessities when you arrive. Few things can be as headacheinducing as dragging along extra luggage with kids in tow. Choosing a hotel or resort with laundry facilities can be advantageous to active families who may get messy along the way.

Travel off the beaten path Mature children may like sights and sounds that aren’t necessarily designed for kids. So while it may be tempting to stick to big-name resorts that cater to families, there’s plenty of enjoyment to be had exploring lesser-known islands or villages. And while you’re at it, introduce children to native cuisines so they can broaden their culinary palates.

Relive the memories Make lasting vacation memories more by putting together a photo album or scrapbook.

2. Take public transportation. Travelers who can’t take an extra day off or leave work early the Friday before Memorial Day may want to consider taking public transportation to their beach destinations instead of driving themselves. In 2016, the U.S.-based data firm Inrix noted that a traffic-free Friday jaunt from New York City to Long Island’s East end would take 90 minutes, while the same trip would take three hours and 40 minutes on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Travelers who can’t leave early can save themselves from the stress of holiday traffic jams by letting someone else do the navigating. 3. Be patient and depart on Saturday morning. Travelers who can be patient may find that waiting to depart for their destinations until Saturday can save them from dealing with much of the stress of traveling on Memorial Day weekend. The benefits of being patient may depend on where travelers live, as the Inrix study noted that Friday was the busiest day to leave Los Angeles on Memorial Day weekend, while San Diego residents tended to deal with the most traffic on Saturday. An added benefit of waiting until Saturday is the likelihood that such travelers will not return home until Tuesday, avoiding traffic on Monday, which tends to be the busiest return travel day of the weekend. Memorial Day weekend travel tends to be hectic. But savvy travelers with some flexibility can take steps to make their trips less stressful.

Enrollments being taken for UA Summer Speedreading Advanced Reading Concepts is conducting oneweek summer speed-reading courses for seventh-graders through seniors through the Upper Summer Academy, the Wellington School’s Summer Options, the Dublin Schools Summer Enrichment program and Worthington Summer School. Who should take it: • Teens who have trouble getting through the extra reading required for AP, IB, or CCP courses and on ACT and SAT tests • Teens who have learning barriers such as ADHD or who lack the confidence or skills to attempt higher goals • Gifted students who are in so many activities that there is no time for life balance — homework and sleep.

5 Points Dental rooted in UA community When Dr. John “TJ” Imm III acquired an Upper Arlington dental practice two and a half years ago, he took an intuitive, iconic approach in branding its identity. The storied intersection of Tremont, Fishinger and Northwest has been a stronghold in Upper Arlington for decades, so the name 5 Points Advanced Dentistry became an instant choice. As an Ohio State College of Dentistry graduate, Imm is very familiar with the Upper Arlington community. He and his wife, Melissa, are residents and look forward to watching their two sons, Keegan and Gavin, become Golden Bears. Imm’s specialties include TMJ, obstructive sleep apnea and dental implants. His commitment to implants helped him earn a Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists in 2011. This dedication to lifelong learning awarded him a Fellowship

Safety tips for grilling season People have been cooking meals over open flames since the discovery of fire. Even today, when there are so many ways to cook a meal, many still insist there’s nothing better than the taste of food cooked on the grill. The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association, which tracks industry trends, points out that one-third of consumers plan to use their grill or smoker more often this year. Even though grilling is widely associated with summer, a growing number of people are embracing yearround grilling. HPBA’s CEO Jack Goldman has said, “Barbecuing is no longer just a pastime, but an integral part of the North American lifestyle.” Seven in 10 adults in the United States and eight out of 10 in Canada own a grill or smoker. With so many people firing up their grills, it’s important to recognize the importance of grilling safety. Each year an average of 8,900 home fires are caused by grilling, and close to half of all injuries involving grills are due to thermal burns, advises the National Fire Protection Association. Here’s how to stay safe. • Only grill outside. Propane and charcoal barbecue grills should only be used outdoors. Grills should be placed well away from the home. Keep grills away from deck railings, eaves, overhangs, and tree branches. • Keep the grill clean. Thoroughly clean the grill prior to first use, and keep it tidy all year long. Grease or fat buildup can ignite and cause a fire. • Always attend the grill. Grill distraction-free and keep an eye on the food being cooked. Simply stepping away for a few moments can lead to a fire or accident.

The Jane Jones Team:

Residential real estate and relocation certified specialists

• Start fires safely. Charcoal grills and gas grills may be lit using electronic starters that do not require fire. If using starter fluid, only do so on charcoal, and do not add more fluid or other flammable liquids after the fire has ignited. • Check for gas leaks. Whether the gas grill is hooked up to a propane tank or the natural gas supply of a home, ensure that the hoses or tanks are not leaking. Apply a light soap-and-water solution to hoses to see if they bubble from leaking gas. • Keep baking soda nearby. Baking soda can control grease fires, but it’s also helpful to have a fire extinguisher or a bucket of sand on hand for other types of fires. • Watch children and pets. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from grilling areas. • Wait for the grill and coals to cool. Practice safety around the grill until all coals are cool and the grill is no longer hot to the touch. Only then should the grill be moved or relocated. Grilling is a passion that is enjoyed throughout much of the year. Safely cook outdoors by heeding safety guidelines.

Discovery Shop volunteer sees how resale store benefits cancer research â€œCancer has killed three generations of my family â€” my father, my daughter and my grandson,â€? said Georgia Bruce of Columbus. â€œSo, when I started to volunteer at The Discovery Shop in Upper Arlington, an upscale resale store where donations and purchases benefit cancer research, I knew my efforts would be a labor of love. Now, 21 years later, I continue to volunteer at the shop and believe what I do make a difference in the fight against cancer. Nearly all the volunteers, many of the people who donate and those who make purchases at The Discovery Shop, have a story about how

cancer has affected their lives. This is my way of saying thank you to all the volunteers and to the countless individuals who come to The Discovery Shop. Each of their efforts is helping to fight this

dreaded disease. And while the dollars this shop generates did not help three generations of my family, I believe our continued work to fund research for cancer cures can change the future.â€?

Red Hook Grill: Columbusâ€™ best-kept secret

Owners Kathy and Shawn Barklow explain that the restaurant got its name from their repeated travels to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin islands. â€œItâ€™s a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere featuring a variety of local and American cuisines. Only fitting that we name our restaurant after our favorite place on the island. Our goal was to bring the island vibe and some of the food to Columbus. Most of the food in St. Thomas is Americanized, so Red Hook Grillâ€™s menu is our interpretation. We hope you enjoy.â€? From shareables to specialty burgers, sandwiches and sides, soups and delightful entrees, Red Hook Grill is a favorite of local regulars and food lovers across central Ohio. Lunch starts at 11 a.m. and happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. Dine in or call ahead for take out. Red Hook Grill is a casual eatery and bar that has something for everyone with its Caribbeaninspired cuisine and vegan options. â€œWhat a great place... Incredible Cajun pasta. Incredible stuffed crab tilapia. Incredible gumbo. Had the best waitress and owners kept

checking on us.â€? â€”Jeff, Feb. 15, 2018 â€œWe found it ... a little over a year agoâ€Ś never failed to impress with their service or food!!

Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians More than 50 years ago, an ENT practice, now known as Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians, began as a two-person office. Since then, it has grown into 31 specialists, 17 audiologists and four voice pathologists. Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians continually strives to be the thought leaders for the community and primary care physicians of central Ohio. In 2015, we added five well-established, board certified allergists to our growing practice. Ear, nose, throat and allergy conditions, such as chronic sinusitis and chronic ear infections, often go together. Our board certified physicians are able to bring patient care to a whole new level that hadn’t been offered in Columbus within a private practice. In 2017, we added two allergists, two ENTs, a new sleep division with two sleep physicians and a neuro-ophthalmologist all located in one of our 11 offices around central Ohio. Our offices are located in: Columbus, Delaware/Lewis Center, Dublin, Gahanna, Grove City, Newark and Westerville. What does this mean for patients? It means that patients receive the most complete care in a convenient and familiar setting. And now we are excited to announce our newest allergy, ENT, hearing and sleep location opening May 2018 in Grove City. This new location will allow us to provide excellent care for patients southwest of Columbus. We pride ourselves on our highly respected physicians and ancillary staff and work hard to consistently reciprocate ideas between primary care physicians and other specialties. Our physicians focus on open communication and go out of their way to be sure patients are seen quickly, allowing them to be treated and get back to their best health. This is one of the many reasons our referring physicians put their trust in us to care for their patients along with them. All of our surgeons are affiliated with the

Ohio Surgery Center (OSC). As health care continues to change and more families are required to bear additional financial responsibility, Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians and the OSC are well positioned to continue to provide a greater value. By the OSC’s fees being substantially less than a traditional hospital, our patients save money on the deductible and/or coinsurance portion that more patients are now required to pay themselves. We see this as one more benefit for patients who visit us. Affiliated with Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians, Hearing Health Solutions is a 35-year hearing aid practice that has provided hearing care for thousands of residents of central Ohio. Hearing Health Solutions provides the benefit of ENTs and audiologists working side by side for the most excellent care for patients. Whether you need medical or surgical attention for your hearing needs or treatment through a hearing aid to help improve your quality of life, those services are offered at our ENT locations. With the insurgence of online shopping

and exposure to a variety of sources, we understand information can be confusing. Our job is to help educate patients on what is available and what is best for their individual situation. We have many levels and types of hearing aids, from basic to complex circuits. We work with multiple manufacturers and give unbiased advice to help you find what is best. If you are having any concerns with your hearing ability, come see us and receive a free hearing screening. If hearing aids are the best treatment for your hearing loss, with each hearing aid also comes a doctor of audiology that will help you every step of the way. From the initial screening to fitting the aid and beyond, our goal is to ensure you are getting the maximum benefit from your investment. All follow-up service is included with your purchase of hearing aids. Our patients speak for us. Read what some of our patients are saying… “My old hearing aids weren’t allowing me to hear certain sounds. Voices in

I was getting pressured by my two daughters to come in. I was having trouble hearing my family when everyone was together and I wanted to be sure I was able to keep up with my grandchildren. I got two hearing aids and the experience has been wonderful. I can hear the priest at church, in restaurants and at family dinners at home. The hearing aids have made quite an improvement. Everyone at the office has been congenial and the audiologist explained everything very well. —Margaret E. Ohio ENT & Allergy Physicians takes most insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid. We treat infants through geriatric patients. We treat your whole family! If you are having difficulties with allergies, asthma, nasal and sinus issues, hearing difficulties, snoring, sleep apnea, throat/neck abnormalities, common pediatric conditions (such as chronic ear infections and tonsillitis) or needing facial plastic surgery and/or reconstruction, our physicians and professional staff are happy to help.

Talita Arroyo, a native of Brownsville, Texas, met Sergeant Tony Neno Prince while he was stationed there in 1944. While attending a USO dance, Prince spotted the most beautiful Mexican girl in a festive red dress. One look and he knew she would be his wife. After a family courtship, (her father and brothers went everywhere with the young couple) they married in February 1994. Talita moved to Columbus, while Tony spent two years overseas on the Burma Road Mission. Tony returned to Columbus in 1946 and reopened his Italian American restaurant with Talita at his side. In 1968, Talita and Tony decided that the world was ready for Talita’s authentic Brownsville-style Tex-Mex cuisine from her own Cocina

Mexicana (Mexican kitchen). This adventure was the beginning of something new and wonderful. Talita’s has grown from humble beginnings to become a Columbus landmark. Each and every day until her retirement, you’d find the real and spirited Talita ArroyoPrince and her children

running the show at her area restaurants. Talita’s children (and now her grandchildren) continue to be involved in the business and carry on Talita’s passion for authentic Brownsville Tex-Mex food and drink. Talita’s authentic recipes, handed down from her mother and grandmother, are still in use today in the restaurant. The food at Talita’s has roots going back many generations and we’re committed to making sure that every dish we serve is ‘Authentic Talitas’. Tony and Talita Arroyo Prince passed on March 5, 1982 and Oct. 27, 2005 respectively. Talita’s Southwest Cafe 1335 Dublin Rd., Ste. 110-E Columbus, OH 43215 614-824-1354

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.
