Linda Angel

Andrea Chillemi and Shihan Jim Chillemi

Linda Angel, owner of Art Transcending Time, designs jewelry that is more than just an accessory to wear; it is a true work of art. She incorporates antique Italian micro mosaics with semi-precious stones strung on silk to create one-of-a-kind pieces. Her jewelry is crafted in a wide variety of colors, most typically in blues, greens and warm earthy tones. “I get inspired by each antique mosaic that I work with,” Linda says. Her custom-made necklaces are created by combining a sparkling antique chandelier crystal with a personal photo, often of ancestors. “I love making these memory pieces for my customers,” says Linda, adding that she enjoys hearing the personal stories and history some of her customers share while ordering their jewelry. “Each necklace represents a connection between the past and present.” Stop into Linda’s studio and boutique to see her at work and learn more about her “unique handmade jewelry transcending time.” Hours: Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday and Saturday to 3 p.m.

Andrea and Jim Chillemi, founders of On Hudson Fitness & Dance and New York Goju Karate Black Belt Academy, celebrate 20 great years in Hastings-on-Hudson. New York Goju Karate is headed by sixth-degree black belt Jim Chillemi. The school has more than 300 students — at all levels — beginning with Tiny Tigers for 3-year-olds. Specialty classes include women’s, teen/adult, parent/child, grappling and leadership. Their kickathon for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital has raised more than $80,000 in five years. On Hudson Fitness & Dance Director Andrea Chillemi handpicks her staff from the region’s top professionals. Dance classes begin at age 3 and range from jazz, modern and hip-hop to lyrical, ballet and pointe. Students give free performances at children’s hospitals and senior centers, and the studio’s yearly recital is an incredible production of talented dancers, performing alongside some of the best goju practitioners around. Fitness classes, taught in a friendly, uncrowded setting, help clients build strength, coordination and flexibility. Come take a free class and see what the buzz is about.

Tippy, Lawrence Pitonza, Cosmic Carol, Bailey and Brittany

Founded in 2011 by Lawrence Pitonza, Pitonza Productions promotes cooperation and understanding through multicultural and bilingual literature, giving children a sense of family values, understanding and the importance of appreciating the “you” that you are. Lawrence graduated from Purchase College, where he studied under Antonio Frisconi, a world-renowned art-of-the-book creator. Lawrence is also a Westchester hairdresser at Salon Vivace. He works with Hollywood A-listers in photo shoots, commercials, special effects and prosthetics, costume and mask design, wig creations, and set and prop fabrications. He recently wrote and illustrated the book, “Cosmic Carol: Adventures in Color,” to spread the message, “Be you. Be true!” He offers a children’s program called “Autographs With Carol,” where his book is read aloud in a group setting. Afterwards, the children meet and greet Cosmic Carol characters and get their favorite characters’ autographs. “Cosmic Carol: Adventures In Color” is a touching story of a girl from another planet who, along with her pet star, Tippy, is sent to Earth to learn a lesson. During her visit, Cosmic Carol gains friends, but loses her ability to see in color. It’s a story of friendship, respect, learning — and most of all, acceptance of someone “different.” The book was inspired by Lawrence’s mother’s disability of total color blindness. The book can be purchased through Pitonza’s website: cosmiccarol.com.

Samar Tannous

Oxana Popescu, M.D. and patient

Relaxing and patient-friendly, Rivertown’s Dental, the ultra-modern Hastingson-Hudson office of Dr. Samar Tannous, provides general dentistry care. To Dr. Tannous, an associate professor at NYU School of Dentistry, forming lasting relationships with patients is most important — she knows those who trust her to be highly skilled, honest and working only in their best interests are most likely to have healthy teeth and gums. She also believes that your time is valuable, too, and strives never to keep a patient waiting. Rivertown’s Dental has all the latest technology — digital X-rays, intra-oral camera, Sapphire teeth whitening, Botox and more. Dr. Tannous cleans patients’ teeth herself and fastidiously checks during each and every visit for oral cancers and signs of illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease. The mother of three, Dr. Tannous is “kid-friendly� and truly enjoys having children, and their parents, as patients! She accepts all major dental insurances and offers discounted fees for those without coverage. Major credit cards are accepted, and payment plans available. Hours: By appointment only. Monday from noon to 8 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday to 4 p.m. Closed Wednesday.

Dr. Popescu also treats patients using the Affirm laser station — rejuvenating skin, treating acne scars and stretch marks, removing hyper-pigmented spots and improving sun-damaged skin — all minus skin irritation and down time, unlike other current “gold-standard� procedures!

eter J. Riolo Real Estate represents a powerful force in homeownership and long-term customer relationships. For more than 70 years Riolo Real Estate has been serving the Rivertowns. During that time they have earned a reputation for integrity, service and getting the results people want. All of the sales associates live in the community and embody years of real estate experience and marketing know-how. They know the schools, the neighborhood and the people. Many of them have been raised here and in turn have raised their children here. As founding members of Westchester Real Estate, Inc., the Riolo office has joined with other prominent Westchester firms to provide a network of local offices in locations in the county, as well as Connecticut and New York City. Individually they thrive on their own, in part, because they are household names in their communities. Collectively, these independent companies use the power of pooled resources to offer the advantages of extensive advertising, training, relocation and networking services. In an era of large impersonal real estate companies, Peter J. Riolo’s one-on-one personal service, first-hand knowledge of the area, high-ranking sales record and countless years of experience ensure a smooth real estate experience.

Christopher P. Stephens Zheyla Reyes

When it’s time to choose a driving school, experience counts. Zheyla Reyes, owner of the new U-Turn Auto Driving School in Hastings, has been teaching driving for 25 years. But experience is just the beginning of what makes U-Turn special. “I started my own school because I feel a great dedication to my students,” says Zheyla. “When I work with somebody, I work with them from beginning to end to make sure they obtain their license. But teaching someone to operate a car mechanically is only the beginning. I think it’s even more important to teach clients to be defensive drivers. Accident avoidance is the key.” Zheyla is skilled at putting even nervous drivers at ease. “I emphasize handling the car and practice, practice, practice.” U-Turn offers the five-hour pre-licensing class, dual-brake cars, and personalized attention, to make sure clients are ready to pass the test. Lessons can be scheduled at the client’s convenience, with pickup at home, school or work.

In 2010, personal trainer Anne Marie Costanzo and yoga instructor Sarah Rubin came up with a unique concept in fitness for women: Warrior Rising. “We wanted to tap into the inner strength we all have,â€? says Rubin. “It’s designed to help women find their inner warrior.â€? Each four-week program consists of two 90-minute sessions a week, with a combination cardiovascular and strength-training workout, followed by an asana practice to stretch and strengthen the mind and body. Each session finishes with deep relaxation, to refresh, renew and restore. Who can find the warrior within? Students ‌ moms of any age ‌ busy working women ‌ active retirees. “We have multigenerational groups who connect with and support each other,â€? says Rubin. “And we keep our classes small to let us customize our approach for different levels of experience. Whether a client is brand-new to strength training or yoga, or has logged in many hours at the gym or yoga studio, there’s a place for you here.â€? Classes are held at The Purple Crayon Center, 52 Main Street in Hastings-onHudson. For registration and questions, email info@warriorrising.com.

onsider a personal workout space with customized fitness programs, talented personal trainers, a comfortable atmosphere — and results. This dream is the reality at The Resistance Personal Training Loft. It is Westchester’s best “anti-gym,” in the heart of Dobbs Ferry. Owner Anne Traynor says, “Whatever your age or fitness level, it’s never too late to get in shape. We’re dedicated to helping you every step of the way. It’s all about good health, looking good and feeling great.” Before The Resistance, Anne — a marathon runner and mother — trained in local gyms. She found them crowded, impersonal and intimidating. These experiences inspired The Resistance. Knowing what worked and what didn’t, Anne developed an accessible, serious workout space for real people. The Resistance works because it’s personal, private, serviceoriented and effective. Everyone counts at The Resistance — seasoned athletes, workout devotees, absolute beginners, and anyone in between. Flexible hours cater to a variety of lifestyles and schedules. Most of all, Resistance personal trainers really listen to clients

and attend to their needs. They know universal approaches don’t work, so they customize one-on-one fitness plans and offer support through tremendous personal attention. Five uniquely specialized certified trainers enable each client to be paired with the best professional for specific goals, such as weight loss, total body conditioning, strength, flexibility and movement, speed and endurance, muscle and bone mass, targeted fitness, and sports-specific training. Small-group sessions with workout friends are also available upon arrangement. To complement each fitness plan, The Resistance offers dietary nutrition counseling and fitness assessments, including cardio-tests. Anne says, “We support your right to privacy and good health. We listen to what you want. We are ready to motivate and guide you to results.” The success of her philosophy is based on the best individual coaching and constructive feedback. Become part of The Resistance — where you will be comfortable; where hard work will feel like fun; and where you will achieve real results. Open seven days, by appointment.

After running orthodontic practices in Manhattan, Queens and Ardsley for more than 20 years, Dr. Gregg Fader is thrilled to be celebrating his fourth anniversary in his Scarsdale office on Central Avenue! Dr. Fader’s original interest in dentistry came from his father, a retired dentist; his love of children directed him toward orthodontics. Dr. Fader treats both children and adults, keeping current with the latest advances in orthodontics. In addition to metal and clear braces, he can also fit patients with the nearly imperceptible Invisalign braces, particularly helpful for adults who wish to improve their smile, but also need to feel confident in a business setting. Ardsley Orthodontics offers free first consultations to patients, during which Dr. Fader will assess any problems with the bite or jaw, and give a time frame and competitive price for treatment. His philosophy stresses nonextraction, trying to limit treatment to as short a time as possible, and only to one stage if possible. There is ample, free parking. Hours: By appointment, including Saturday and evenings.

Come Join the Pack!

eace, love and dogs has been the mantra at Buddy’s Barking Lot for the past seven years. Eileen Fleming and Susan Ekaireb are the happy owners of Buddy’s. Both are extremely proud of their staff of professionals, most of whom have been working at Buddy’s since its inception. There is even a full-time dog trainer, Wanda, on staff each day. The canine clients at Buddy’s Barking Lot range in size from 4 pounds all the way up to 180 pounds. There is a sense of calm among the pack each day, and they treat one

another as if they are one big happy family. There are no crates or cages, and all of the dogs coexist peacefully. The pack welcomes each newcomer with “open paws.” The secret to the peace is in the doggie interview. “Each dog is interviewed just to make sure they would be comfortable in our setting,” Eileen says. “We can’t and won’t allow any dogs with aggressive tendencies.” To schedule an interview for your dog, or for more information, please contact Buddy’s Barking Lot at 591-7645. Or, look for Buddy’s Barking Lot on Facebook and YouTube.

Anna Albano-Krosche, the Lice Lady of Westchester, can come to the rescue 365 days a year, “because lice is always an emergency.� Anna is Westchester’s original head lice removal expert. “I’ve been in business since 1998, and I’ve treated over 10,000 heads,� says Anna. She is the area’s only lice removal specialist with a freestanding salon. She also makes house calls. Anna frequently travels to schools and camps to do lice checks and to give presentations on head lice prevention. “I’ve been through this with my own children and myself, and I relate 100 percent to everybody who comes in,� she says. A client’s head is examined under a magnification light, then is given a 20minute, all-natural enzyme-based shampoo. Nits are combed from the hair, then the hair is rinsed, blown dry and rechecked. Clients leave the salon with a homework sheet, including instructions on how to “delouse your house.�

T

his month, Phelps Memorial Hospital Center opened a new 18,000-square-foot state-of-the-art emergency medical facility holding twice as many patient beds as their former emergency department. The new ER facility rivals the finest emergency departments in the country for patient comfort, efficiency and service. More than 22,000 patients are treated in the emergency department at Phelps Hospital every year, and that number is expected to grow as the population ages and more development occurs in the towns and villages along the Hudson River. In an effort to accommodate this growth, the new emergency department at Phelps places emphasis on patients’ physical and emotional comfort. As patients enter the ER, they are greeted by the soothing sounds of a waterfall. Rather than sitting in a waiting room, patients are brought directly into private rooms with walls, sliding glass doors and curtains for privacy, where they are registered, evaluated and treated. Each room features a television, a telephone and two chairs so that family members can remain comfortably nearby. Family members who do not wish to be present during an evaluation can wait in the family waiting areas. Over the past year, Phelps has been increasing Dr. Majid Sabour and the depth of pediatric services it offers. As evidence

of that commitment, the new emergency department has a separate pediatric treatment area with five child-friendly rooms specially decorated for children, and an adjacent playroom with computer games. Ten of the 32 treatment rooms are designated for the PromptCare area, a modern, fast-track service that provides rapid assessment and treatment of less urgent medical problems. Conversely, if a patient is to be admitted to the hospital, he or she remains in a private room, situated in a separate, quiet area of the emergency department until a hospital bed is available. The new facility also has designated treatment rooms for specialized services, including trauma; obstetrics/gynecology; psychiatry; orthopedics; dentistry; minor surgery; and eye, ear, nose and throat. The new department has its own 24-hour radiology suite, complete with digital X-ray technology and a 64-slice CT scanner with cardiac capabilities, so the wait for diagnostic tests and results is significantly shorter. For patients with infectious conditions, or who require decontamination due to radiological, biological or chemical emergencies, the new facility has dedicated isolation and decontamination units with the latest technology and protective Dr. Catalina E.equipment. Cincu Each of these units has a separate ventilation system to prevent cross-contamination.

What Makes Zachys Different? When my father-in-law, Don Zacharia, purchased Zachys from his father in 1961, he had two visions for the business. First, to introduce fine wine from around the world to a client base that had historically been spirits driven. And secondly, to provide the utmost in customer service and always try to do it with knowledge, humor, flexibility and personality. What was true to Don and his two employees back in 1961 still rings true at Zachys today. We continue to strive to have one of the most complete selections of fine wines and spirits in America. It is not enough for us to have the wine on our shelves but rather to take the time and energy to regularly travel throughout the wine world — seek out the gems — and bring them back to Scarsdale. One of Don’s greatest successes over the last four decades of selling fine wine was his “What Makes Zachys Differentâ€? advertising campaign. This was a series of ads in which he enabled the wine-loving community to learn more about the personalities and activities at Zachys — those things that set it apart from others. With stories like ‌ the sales manager who joined us 30 years ago because his train broke down in Scarsdale and he decided to wait while they serviced the train and applied for a job. Or the personal trainer who had a love for wine and took the part-time job in his free hours in the evening. With a working knowledge of computers, he told us the age of the Internet was coming and he now heads up all the IT operations for the enterprise. Then there was the leading salesman in the store, who has a medical degree but chooses to sell wine because it’s his passion. The customers line up to walk the store, pick his brain and soak up his enthusiasm for wine. And the stories just go on and on and on ... What I take such great pride in when interviewing potential new employees for the store, is making the statement that Zachys would not be half of what it is today

without the great people who work here. It’s staggering the number of employees we have with us currently who have worked for us for 10 years or more. And it’s about the people. People walk through the door at Zachys to be met with a comforting smile and the typical question: “Have you shopped with us before?� We want to make you feel welcome as you enter a wine world that is overloaded with regions, varietals and bottles after bottles — so much so that it can be very intimidating. We want you to walk away from your Zachys’ experience with a smile and the satisfaction that this was everything you expected and more. Our philosophy and policy is just the same on the phone, email or website. While those platforms don’t afford as much personal contact, it is our hope to convey to our clients that we are about much more than the wine. We want you to know we are a complete package that is here to service all your wine needs. It’s nice, that although started more than 40 years ago, Zachys has managed to stay true to Don’s goals and we always continue to be a truly special place in the wine world. All my best, Andrew McMurray (aka The Son-In-Law) Hours: Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information on special offers, complimentary in-store tastings, and our great selection of wine, visit us at zachys.com.

Not responding well to antidepressant medications? Having difficulty taking what’s prescribed for you due to uncomfortable side effects? Dr. Yadagiri Chepuru offers an alternative at TMS Center of Westchester in Yonkers. Transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy (TMS) is a new antidepressant treatment, which has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients suffering from depression and who have not achieved satisfactory improvement from prior treatment. Dr. Chepuru provides TMS on an outpatient basis in the comfort of his private office. Magnetic pulses stimulate the brain to release serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine — chemicals that occur naturally in the brain and that help to reverse the effects of depression. TMS is a noninvasive, nonsystemic, safe treatment with little or no side effects. Dr. Chepuru is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology with a subspecialty in geriatric psychiatry. He is chief of psychiatry at Riverside Health Care Systems in Yonkers. Dr. Chepuru has extensive experience in treating mood disorders and other psychiatric conditions and is a trained Suboxone provider for the treatment of opiate addictions.

t doesn’t happen overnight, but there are usually warning signs when the well-being of your parent is compromised by living alone. Here are some common clues that are cause for concern: Change in eating habits — skipping meals or not eating, and losing weight as a result. Change in mood — seeming depressed, irritable, excessively fearful or boisterous. Increased isolation — no longer enjoying family visits or familiar social routines. Hygiene neglect — wearing soiled clothes, not brushing teeth or bathing, resulting in bad breath or body odor. Frequent bruising, burns or injuries — signaling increased falling, weakness or confusion. Increased forgetfulness — ignoring mail and newspapers, missing appointments or becoming disoriented. Inadequate, spoiled or the wrong kind of food in the house. Misusing medication or alcohol. Gradual decline in household upkeep and maintenance. Mishandling finances — not paying bills, appropriating money to questionable causes, spending beyond means or hoarding cash. As soon as your aging parent starts to show deterioration in health and the condition of home, take notice. This is the time to introduce the idea of getting assistance, long before a crisis develops. Seek support from other family members to consider what choices are best and realistic for all involved. If in-home care is not adequate, or if moving your parent into your home is not an option,

then assisted living is worth considering. The role reversal of aging parents and children is a common challenge The Kensington can help manage. When the time comes to have “the talk” with your parent, here are some tips to help make it a little easier: Be specific — use factual examples to explain why you think assistance is a good idea. Express concern from your point of view and explain how much you care — do not accuse or demand. Be patient — you will likely have this conversation more than once. Tread slowly and gently — describe how you want to be able to enjoy each other, and that preserving health and safety would make that possible. Solicit your parent’s thoughts, feelings and opinions. Some adults welcome the idea of change. But others are resistant, even when the need for assistance is obvious. If you’re running into conflict, then talk with Susie Sarkisian, geriatric care manager at The Kensington, an enhanced assisted living residence that recently opened at 100 Maple Ave. in White Plains. Susie is an expert at helping families introduce the idea of moving to an assisted living community, and she follows the transition all the way through till move-in day — and after. For answers to your questions, call Susie at 390-0080, or visit online at TheKensingtonAL.com.

The art of delicious food has shaped Salvatore Cucullo Jr.’s life. As a boy, he worked in his grandfather’s pizzeria, and later at a family-owned restaurant. No one was surprised when Salvatore attended the Culinary Institute of America, followed by an externship at the exclusive Café des Artistes in New York. In May 2010, he and business partner Lynn Kozy opened The 808 Bistro, where every customer feels like a part of the family. Salvatore, also the chef, says his cuisine is described as “Italian without borders” — with French, Asian, Mediterranean and Latin influences. Using only the freshest, predominantly organic ingredients, the menu’s updated frequently to keep it seasonal. “I’m very passionate about food and believe as a chef that I’m never more important than my ingredients,” says Salvatore. Traditional Italian chicken, veal and fish are always offered, and the restaurant accommodates special requests. The bar uses fresh, muddled ingredients to make drinks, and suggested food and wine pairings are always on the menu. New at The 808 Bistro is our “express” lunch. Order for pickup, or come in for a quick, delicious lunch in just an hour! Hours: Monday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday from noon to 10 p.m. www.the808bistro.com
