The original CromwellImmordino Memorial Home with over 60 years of history in the Hopewell Valley area has found a new home. Located on the Pennington circle with the Wilson-Apple Funeral Home, these two premier funeral establishments bring together over 120 combined years of history, and an attentive experienced staff to better serve your family.

“The size of the facility is really the biggest difference,” says Joe Immordino. “Being centrally located to the communities we serve, we are now able to accommodate small intimate groups or large gatherings with hundreds of people coming through the funeral home. This was something that was almost impossible before.”

The Wilson and Immordino families care greatly about the people they help. Bob and Asher Wilson have been a staple in the community for many years and are well known for their community involvement. Their compassion and knowledge in all areas of funeral service are some of the reasons why so many families seek them out to guide them through the care of their loved one. “Our help doesn’t end at the cemetery. We are committed to you before, during, and after the services,” says Joe Immordino. Along with almost 20 years’ experience as a funeral director, Joe has been offering grief support to the community for the past seven years and has owned and operated Cromwell-Immordino since 2002.

Joe also has extensive clinical experience as a hospice chaplain and as a hospice bereavement counselor. He and his family live in Hopewell Borough where he serves at the Calvary Baptist Church of Hopewell offering weekly grief support programs and individual support.

When you’re reaching out for help after the loss of a loved one, choosing the right funeral home truly makes a difference.

The Wilson-Apple Funeral Home and the CromwellImmordino Memorial Home bring together the dedication and experience to give you the service that you deserve.

ADVERTORIAL t has been said….” While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.” Unknown Blooming Hearts Child Development Center took that wisdom and opened the daycare in 2013. Our director comes with over 30 years’ experience in the Early Childhood Education field. We are located at 313 Triangle Road in Hillsborough, New Jersey. We accept children ages newborn to 13 years old. Our hours of operation hours are Monday thru Friday 6:30am to 6:00pm.

Operating with the belief that “Play is a child’s work.” The staff echoes this in their daily education and care of the children. Taking these values and implementing them, the staff was able to not only establish “a homey environment where children would feel comfortable and loved” but also incorporated tools such as Creative Curriculum to further their vision. The curriculum is modified as necessary to provide the children with one of the most stimulating, hands on, learning experiences possible.

We provide AM and PM snacks daily and weather permitting they are then able to enjoy our beautiful natural outdoor play space to run off that extra energy.

In our experience our parents have always been comforted by the knowledge that our center is a clean, safe and fun environment for their children to learn and grow in. All our programs are age appropriate and the small class sizes allow us to set up learning stations and computers that will help increase their experiences and stimulate new thoughts and ideas for creative learning.

A weekly Science class is a part of the curriculum and aims to allow the children to explore new subjects and increase their learning experiences. There are a limited number of spaces available for special needs children as well.

All of our teachers are experienced, certified, and trained in first aid and CPR. Each member of our staff has completed the screening mandated by the state. This includes background checks, finger printing and references. Ongoing training throughout the year is provided for the teachers to keep them on the cutting edge of the best practices in child care as well as education for today’s ever changing world.

On the third Friday of every month we are open from 6:00pm-10:00pm for a Parent’s Night Out! event. This evening gives the parents an opportunity to go out and leave the children with us to have fun! This event is open to everyone in the community not just the enrolled children.

Included during the event is a movie, pizza, games, plenty of socializing, ice pops and drinks.

The cost is $25.00 per child and we ask that you register with us by 5:00pm, the Thursday before the event. We encourage all the children to bring a friend!

During the summer, a variety of summer camps are offered at Blooming Hearts. Two, three, and five day programs are available which includes fun activities like water play, cooking, away field trips, in-house field trips and reading programs.

We run a ten-week summer camp from June 20th through August 26th. The camp is set up with a different focus each week including: Save the Rainforest week, Kiddie Olympics week, Science Madness week, Magic in the Air week, It’s A Sweet Treat week and more.

The fun continues with special “visiting” in-house field trips too! Those include Mad Science of NJ, Sparkee The Mascot and General Admission from the Somerset Patriots, The Lizard Guys, Magician, Pony rides, and more. These are always a huge hit! We also offer individual programs the children can be registered for at an additional cost. These include Swimming Lessons (Hillsborough Racquetball Club), Karate (on-site instruction), and Amazing Athletes (on-site instruction) Again, these programs will only be available to those who register for them and there is an additional cost.

The special “visiting” in-house field trips to allow us to include the children under the age of three (which is the minimum bussing age) as well as staff and family members. However, we will have “away” field trips too such as Land of Make Believe, Jenkinson Aquarium, Turtle Back Zoo and more that will be open for children ages 3+ that are out of diapers. Parents, Guardians, Siblings and Grandparents are all welcome to join us on these trips as is any member of your family!

Another part of our camp is the Reading program. This requires no special registration, no extra fees and minimal paperwork! We ask only for your support! It will be an incentive/reward based reading program for camp kids to participate in. Although we do believe that children should read for the LOVE of reading it’s difficult to compete with video games and computers!

That is the reason why its incentive based. This is for both readers and children who are just beginning to learn so everyone is included! We hope to carry through the summer the emerging or learned reading skills each child has and enhancing them by inviting them to read! We have a mystery reader come in and read books to the children, too.

Bussing to and from our center to Sunny Mead, Auten Road, and Triangle Elementary School is provided.

For more detailed information about our center, curriculum and programs we offer please visit our website at www.bloomingheartschildcare.com. To contact us with any questions including scheduling a tour please call us at 908-431-0550. You can also follow us on Facebook.

Glasgold Group 31 River Road, Highland Park, NJ 08904

The Glasgold Group’s approach to aging gracefully utilizing non-surgical solutions Over the years the Glasgold Group has refined and developed their skills as facial specialists especially in the area of non-surgical rejuvenation. They have injected thousands of happy patients who have helped build their practice by referring friends and family.

The development of long-lasting hyaluronic acid (HA) injectables such as Juvederm, Voluma, Restylane and Restylane Lift coupled with the introduction of cannula injection techniques has been the most significant advancement in facial rejuvenation in the last decade. In the appropriate patient we can achieve long-lasting total facial rejuvenation.

Where injectables are most effective

Aging Gracefully NON-SURGICAL SOLUTIONS M® , R E D E V JU ® IFT L E N A RESTYL A® VOLUM ® & BOTOX ® RT DYSPO

To receive a complementary consultation, just mention this ad!

We offer surgical solutions to aging: • Facelifts • Eyelid Surgery • Fat transfers

732-846-6540 Dr. Robert and Mark Glasgold are double board certified in ENT and Facial Plastic Surgery.

As manufacturers developed a broader range of HA products such as Voluma® and Restylane Lyft® we have been able to accomplish dramatic non-surgical rejuvenation. Typically a thinner face will have more options for injection. Areas we routinely inject are: the temples, upper orbital rim, under eye (lower orbital rim), outer and central cheek, buccal hollow, nasolabial fold (smile lines), marionette lines, prejowl sulcus, jawline and lips.

Permanent verses Temporary Fillers Our 20-plus years of experience injecting many different materials (HA since 2005) in thousands of patients for facial rejuvenation has resulted in our current thinking that the hyaluronic acid products (Juvederm®, Voluma®, Restylane®) provide the greatest benefit to risk profile.

These materials are significantly longer lasting than believed, often providing results for years when properly injected; remember, the advertised duration is based on the companies’ FDA submission and not actual duration.

On the safety side, HA’s are the only injectable material that can be dissolved which is easily accomplished in a few minutes by injecting an enzyme, hyaluronidase, into the filler. This gives peace of mind that if the result is unsatisfactory it can be reversed but more importantly it removes the material to allow more effective treatment of any nodules or infection.

Products such as Radiesse® (calcium hydroxy apetite ) and Bellafil® (poly methylmethacrylate) are composed of beads of non-resorbable material. We have two main areas of concern with these materials. The first, in our experience, is the development even years after injection of a granuloma (hard nodule) or infection. Second, is that we have seen areas that these products are injected into become noticeably irregular years after injection, as the surrounding soft tissue thins out with age. Additionally, we have encountered a lot of scarring that is difficult to dissect through during facelift surgery.

What Is the Best HA (Hyaluronic Acid) The best HA depends on where it is being injected. Some products like Juvederm are very soft and absorb a large amount of water making them particularly useful in lips and skin lines. Others like Voluma® and Restylane Lyft® are firm and absorb less water and are particularly good for midface and jawline volume.

Method of Injecting We perform our injections using a Cannula, a very fine flexible tube with a blunt tip that is used to inject fillers. A small needle hole is made in the skin to insert the Cannula. There are many benefits to Cannula injection; it can be used on every site in the face. There is typically minimal to no bruising and the procedures are much less painful. Cannulas virtually eliminate the worst potential complications of fillers.

Natural Results Take Skill On the Part Of the Injector Why do celebrities end up looking so artificial and have that overdone distorted look? We only notice the bad. Many celebrities and everyday people have injectable treatments and they look great. Many of the strange appearances result from trying to accomplish too much with injectables. There are times when surgery is necessary to achieve a natural result and it is the responsibility of the injector to let a patient know the limitations of any procedure.

The spectrum of injectors’ ranges from highly experienced and well-trained surgeons to nonmedical injectors illegally treating patients in hotel rooms. What makes us uniquely qualified as injectors is the combination of vast experience and our understanding of facial aesthetics. We are, after all, specialized in facial surgery which sets us apart from other injectors.

Princeton Montessori School Nurturing Potential. Igniting Passion.

Infant through Eighth Grade Princeton Montessori School education creates the building blocks for a healthy and happy whole person and provides the foundation for a purposeful, responsible, and fulfilling life. We nurture potential and ignite a passion for learning within each child. Founded in 1968, Princeton Montessori School is an independent, coeducational day school, dedicated to the highest quality education of children, from infancy through middle school, according to the values and principles of the Montessori philosophy. Our families are committed to providing a Montessori education for their children and share the core values of our community.

Five cornerstone multiage programs are offered: Infant (8 weeks to 18 months), Toddler (18 through 36 months), Primary (Three through six years), Elementary (first through fifth grade), and Middle School (sixth through eighth grade). Enriching before and after school offerings and stimulating summer programs are also offered.

Princeton Montessori School’s approach to education is centered around the following core values, which guide our interactions with children every day: A respect for each child as a unique individual. We view children as naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a supportive, thoughtfully-prepared learning environment. It is an approach that values the human spirit and the development of the whole child.

An understanding that not all children learn at the same pace. The Montessori curriculum is personalized to the needs of the student, which leads to children feeling confident in their abilities.

A belief that education is a partnership between families, parents, and the child. Parent education classes are conducted throughout the year to support parents.

Knowledge that independence and competence lead to self-confidence — these are the first steps in developing creative thinkers and confident learners. These skills are nurtured and developmentally in all programs through hands-on learning experiences and guided practice for mastery.

A commitment to character development as a central focus within the curriculum. Peace and conflict resolution are practiced daily as children learn to be part of a warm, respectful and supportive community.

Dedication to a learning model where students are active seekers of knowledge. Education should be the lighting of a spark – igniting of a passion – from within. Children learn through handson activities and experiences, not through rote memorization. Teachers prepare environments where students have the freedom and the tools to pursue answers to their own questions.

Announcing New Scholarships!

The Trustees of Princeton Montessori School are pleased to announce new merit-based full scholarships open to a limited number of new students entering first to seventh grade. The Explorer and the Scholar Awards cover 100% of the program fees through eighth grade.

The 100% merit awards will be renewed annually through eighth grade. Applications are available on the Princeton Montessori School website and should be submitted

by March 15, 2016. Scholarship application materials can be found online at at http://princetonmontessori.org/admissions/scholarship February 26, 2016

“The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory.” – ALDO GUCCI

HEATH LUMBER o the moon and back It’s just a guess, but arguably the distance reached if one was able to calculate the amount of lumber sold during Heath Lumber’s 160 years in business.

Established in 1857 (that’s before the Civil War) by Samuel Heath, the lumber yard is one of the oldest lumber companies in the state and has the distinct honor of having supplied the wood and bricks used to build some of New Jersey’s landmarks including the barracks and other buildings at Fort Dix and the original boardwalk in Atlantic City.

Today, The Patricelli family and their team at Heath Lumber have a solid grip amid a landscape peppered with impersonal Big Box giants rather than the small family-run yard of yesterday.

Their formula for success may be attributed to two, and perhaps, three things: Outstanding customer service, quality product, and smart growth.

Giving personal treatment to every customer is incredibly important to the Patricelli family. Rest assured, the staff at Heath knows their business and is ready, able and more than willing to offer advice on your building projects or on the vast array of products and tools in stock. Don’t know thin set from thin mints? No problem, any staffer can help you. Don’t know a reciprocating saw from a roto tiller?

No worry. They do. And they can teach you.

Besides the top-notch customer service and high-quality products, the finger of longtime success can be pointed at the former and current owners’ smart business decisions.

In 1933, a move to the current Olden address, offered new yards and more importantly, a private railroad-where lumber, brought up the Delaware River by barge could be unloaded—and millwork facilities.

In 1958, under the ownership of John Patricelli and Tony Alach, an addition was added to house a large, modern showroom and additional office space.

During the 60’s and 70’s, Heath continued the smart growth and expanded its product line to include paneling, windows, flooring, paint, cabinetry, hand and electric tools.

Fast forward to today: Heath carries all these products and more.

Going forward no one can predict the economy, the housing market or other factors that play into the hard-earned success of the Heath Lumber company.

But one thing is for sure. When a company reaches for the stars (or planets) you can interpret one thing: The products and services they offer are perhaps, out of this world.

icky Chai, was a young man traveling with his mother to the United States 26 years ago in the search of the American dream. What he found was a love for the restaurant business and also the love of his life… his wife.

When he first came to the U.S. he began his career in the restaurant business as a waiter at the age of 24 and then moved into management. Within a few years he opened his first Thai Kitchen, the first of four, with a partner. When Chai was considering expanding, his partner was contemplating retirement and was not interested in opening a fifth Thai Kitchen. Chai brought in a silent partner and together they opened Ricky’s Thai in the Montgomery location this past March.

Lucy’s Kitchen and Market is celebrating 25 years in business, and partners Caron Wendell and Joe McLaughlin say; “We plan to just keep on going.”

The milestone will be marked with a series of monthly specials. Visit www.lucystogo.com to learn more.

The partners got their start in 1991 after being introduced by mutual friends. Wendell, who had trained at the prestigious LaVarenne cooking school in France, was in the catering business, but ready for something new and McLaughlin was looking for a new business to get involved in.

What started as potluck dinners during a rainy summer in a house share on Long Beach Island led the two partners to make a career out of ravioli and pasta.

Lucy’s was whimsically named in honor of the famous chocolate factory assembly line episode of the I Love Lucy Show. “We purchased the equipment and tried to use it but it came with no operating manuals,” Caron laughingly reflects. Those familiar with the episode get the joke.

Locals quickly embraced the idea – novel at the time – of freshly made pasta filled with wholesome, natural ingredients. It was a quick and easy meal, and the two offered seasonal offerings, going far beyond the basic meat or cheese.

In 1996, having outgrown the production space in Trenton, Lucy’s moved into their current manufacturing and retail facility on Route 206 on the northern edge of Princeton. Now individual customers could buy directly from them, and even watch pasta being made through a large window at the back of the store.

In 2013, they rebranded themselves as Lucy’s Kitchen and Market, better reflecting the breadth of their offerings, which had expanded to include all of the other components of a delicious meal. Ravioli are kept frozen to ensure freshness and the freezer case holds other temptations, including iconic versions of chicken pot pie and macaroni and cheese. Refrigerated pastas (fettucine, lasagna sheets, etc.) and sauces are kept next to the ravioli along with a large selection of dips and spreads. On Sundays, the purchase of a sauce comes with a free pound of fresh pasta.

The store features an impressive array of prepared foods for breakfast lunch and dinner, including meat and vegetarian entrées, plenty of vegetable sides, made-to-order sandwiches, grab-and-go salads, and more. Cheeses, charcuterie, and a thoughtfully curated selections of pantry staples such as olive oils, crackers, and other items are also available No matter the item, ingredients are vetted carefully to ensure top quality and freshness. The chicken is antibiotic free and humanely raised on vegetarian feed, and produce is sourced locally whenever possible. An extensive selection of catering trays are available for private and corporate events. Their biggest unexpected success has come from the high demand for prepared foods for holidays, especially Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Passover. Stop by and see all that Lucy’s has to offer!
