Remain private or step out into town life

By MICHAEL HALLISEY halliseym@spotlightnews.com DELMAR — Adams Station Apartments has been a part of the Bethlehem community for nearly 30 years, and though just minutes away from suburbia life it continues to remain “a world apart.”

A turn down the treelined road of Juniper Drive allows a peek beyond the veil that hides this unique neighborhood from bustling town life.

The saplings that once stood when the apartments were first opened are now mature, draping over a leafy canopy that marks the threshold between the two worlds.

“I think what sets

Adams Station Apartments was designed to make one feel at home in a special place. The apartments have been given extra touches such as breakfast nooks, window seats, vaulted ceilings, and private patios and balconies.

Featuring a number of amenities including a swimming pool, community garden, fitness club membership and two tennis courts.

SCHENETADY — The Waters Edge Lighthouse Restaurant prides itself in its fresh food, outstanding service and riverside scenery. The staff welcomes you to a dining experience that is 20 feet from the shore, overlooking the Mohawk River.

General manager Joe Popolizio’s family purchased the restaurant in 2004 and opened in 2005 after a major renovation.

The family is incredibly conscientious about the quality of food and service that they provide.

“A customer could have 100 great experiences at a restaurant, and all is good,” he continued. “If a customer has one bad experience, however, they might never come back.”

This forces the Popolizio family to really think about the level of service they provide, adding that they hold their staff at a high standard and ensure everyone is on the same page. As a result, this has lead to a huge amount of loyal customers.

Taras Optical expanding business

COLONIE — Armed with more than 30 years of experience, optician Thomas Tarasovich is expanding.

Taras Optical has had a shop at 971 Central Ave. in Albany since 1983, and most recently opened a new shop at 1207 Troy Schenectady Road in Latham.

“We will give you the detail and fine workmanship you deserve and we will work hard to get you back as a customer,” he said. “We offer comprehensive eye examinations for general health, eyeglasses and all contact lenses. Our doctors are given as much time as they need to be doctors. We specialize in all eyewear, from mainstream to unique, and our attention to detail is second to none. We also accept other doctors’ prescriptions.”

Dr. Abele offers comprehensive care for patients of all ages

“We are a family business and as a family business we try harder. We got away from the controlling franchisor.

We want to cater to the needs of families.”

DELMAR — “Building an oral health home for families where comprehensive, top-of-the-line dental services were easily accessible was my goal,” said Dr. Thomas Abele, who, since 1969, has been a pioneer and leader in the dental sciences in the Capital District. “With the support of a talented and dedicated staff, I hope I have achieved that.”

By offering a total spectrum of care for all ages, Abele eliminates the need for patients to move from doctor to doctor to achieve optimal oral health, comfort and beauty. Early on, he spent the additional hours of training to become qualified in dental implant technology and root canal therapy. His consistent reinvestment in his practice ensures that patients are offered the latest in minimally invasive approaches, digital imaging, laser power and sedation dentistry.

“Dental medicine, most pointedly when encompassing cosmetic dentistry, is definitely an art,” said Abele. “Every aesthetic aspect of a patient’s face must be taken into consideration when addressing reconstructive procedures, whether in the application of veneers and crowns or

restorations with implants.”

Because Abele works closely with the technicians of his on-site dental lab, issues such as tooth color and shape are seamlessly addressed. His deep experience in placing dental implants, including the latest in genetically coated bone grafting, when required, and beautifully designed tooth restorations is renowned.

Citing the importance of patient education, Abele said, “Although I personally feel responsible for my patients’ oral health, they have to ‘buy in.’ That requires helping them understand why compliance with good oral health habits, including attention to their gums, can make them healthier and happier. I enjoy taking the time needed to answer questions and provide ongoing support.

“As much as I have always enjoyed the research and ongoing education that dental medicine requires in order to stay at the top of the game,” said Abele, “I most enjoy the results I see in my much valued patients. They are the ones who make me look good.”

COLONIE — Seems like everyone has a side gig these days, and for MaryJo Aidala, she envisioned hairdressing to be that kind of job.

It’s a career path she was familiar with; after all, her mother was a hairdresser. So, Aidala got her hands into it and obtained her license right out of high school. The interaction with customers kept her standing over her chair. Aidala said she never would have imagined this being her day job.

“I thought I’d be doing it on the side, kind of thing,” Aidala said about her 30-year hairdressing career. “I wound up loving it so much.”

She does have a side gig, though. And, she likes talking about that, too.

“I had clients asking me about where they could find wigs,” said Aidala. “These are my clients. I should find out about the wig business and try to help them as best I can.”

Aidala is an authorized retailer for Envy Wigs and Hair Add-Ons, the Indianapolis fashion house focused exclusively on providing you a new head

of hair. Designed by Alan Eaton, Envy Wigs offers affordable options, from pixies and bobs to long and glamorous styles.

Today’s synthetic wigs are lightweight and designed with a lace-front that provides a natural looking hairline.

Envy Wigs also carries a human hair line of wigs which provides versatility.

The human hair allows for owners to use a curling iron for styling options. Aidala does not carry fashion colors. The wigs are for more practical use. Her private consultations involve going over the benefits and drawbacks for each style of wig.

Aidala job as a wig retailer is a role that helps her community. The needs of her clients cover a wide range of needs, from those looking for a change to others looking to detract from the unwanted change that comes from illness. In her five years in this role, she has seen her community expand.

“People come from Pittsfield, Syracuse,” she said. “Just from good reviews online.”

It all begins with a private consultation with Aidala at her office location at Genesis Hair Studio in Colonie. Phone ahead to arrange an appointment. For questions, call Aidala at 518-428-4948.

We have built single families homes and have turned aging buildings and abandoned lots into commercial retail and office space.”

hris Tobin has found inner peace and success in upstate New York.

Since moving from New York City to Greenville approximately 10 years ago, Tobin said he’s enjoyed upstate life and operating his business, American Painting.

“I wanted my son (Kevin) to be raised upstate, and my whole life I came upstate and spent my summers up here,” said Tobin. “I always looked forward to coming upstate to the Catskills.”

Tobin was an elevator technician when he lived in New York City, but he said he always dabbled in painting houses.

“When I moved upstate, I started the painting business because I was always painting. I’d been painting houses in the city since I was 16 years old,” said Tobin.

“In my heart, I always wanted to start a painting business.”

Starting a painting business is one thing. To make it successful, Tobin said he uses his gregarious nature to sell people on hiring him.

“I’m a friendly, outgoing guy. I reach

out to people,” said Tobin. “I’m active in my church, so I get a lot of jobs through my church.”

The message Tobin sends to every person he works for is they will receive a high-quality job that’s done on time.

“I have a good reputation. When I say I’m going to be there, I’m going to be there,” said Tobin.

Tobin said the secret to performing a high-quality painting job is preparing the work site the right way and using a particular brand of paint.

“I believe it’s all in the prep work. I power wash everything I do, especially outside walls,” said Tobin. “And I believe in using Sherman Williams paint. It’s the elite paint. They last a long time, and they have a lifetime guarantee.”

Tobin also said he carefully selects the crew he works with on any job.

“The people who work for me have a lot of experience … and they’re trustworthy,” said Tobin. “I have two main guys and myself, but on a lot of jobs I usually have at least one more person … sometimes two.”

hrough the miracles of modern science and health care advancements, people on average are living longer than ever before. According to Herzog Law Firm, P.C. attorney David Kubikian, “Longer doesn’t mean better.”

The vast majority of people will experience long term care needs in their life time based on recent studies. At Herzog Law Firm, the goal is to educate clients and help them deal with the questions that come with long term care realities that people face.

to pay for it,” Kubikian said. “Most people think that they need to give up control of their assets in order to eventually qualify for Medicaid to pay for their long term care needs. Others think that their only option is to liquidate and lose all of their assets when they have long term care needs.

TROY — While Judy’s Beauty Salon has been open for five decades, it never faltered with delivering reasonablypriced services to its customers.

Age knows no boundaries here as it welcomes anyone, ranging from young children to seniors.

Located on 2 Bloomingrove Dr in Troy, it is a half mile south of Hudson Valley Community College, so it also caters to college students, and they can get student discounts. New customers enjoy an introductory rate of $10 for cuts and $50 for perms, whereas the regular prices are $15-20 and $75 respectively. Other services and features include fashion coloring, moustache and eyebrow waxing, hair extensions, frizzy hair treatment, and doing hair highlights.

This unisex salon is open on Mondays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Wood also said it maintains its loyal clientele by being supported by good word of mouth, “When someone around town sees someone else with good hair, they typically ask and the person recommends us. Plus, we have friendly staff and experience stylists that are exceptional in their everyday work here.”

She added that the salon keeps up with the latest hairstyle trends and uses “the number one topof-the-line products. We use no generic products here.”

Herzog Law Firm P.C. provides the public with free estate and Medicaid planning seminars which not only educate prospective clients, but provide them with a pathway to answering those long term care questions. The seminars take place

Asked what the most important message Herzog Law Firm has for the public, Kubikian said, “Whether it is five years or five days before a long term care need exists, we can still help you and your family in some way.”

Longtime owner Judy Wood brought up one example where since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, they offer pink hair highlights to be part of the cause.

Judy’s Beauty Salon is about to be remodeled too soon so that “it would have a totally new look. Maybe one way to describe it is that it will look uptown or whatever better word for ‘modern’ is.”

“As you breathe, you become more On Radiance Hot YogaSpotlight aims mindful of it and how you are intaking the air into your lungs,” Johnson said. to breathe through it

Y

oga is about relaxation, even when challenged, and relaxation is about breathing. Radiance Hot Yoga wants to enhance that relaxation.

“Typically people naturally take short, shallow breaths,” owner Leah Johnson said. “It’s so important to fully inhale and recycle the air in the lungs, as a lot of stale air is trapped with shallow breaths.”

Radiance inserts breathing into all of its exercises, including the ones that aren’t entirely focused on yoga. One of the few hot yoga studios in the area to use a coveted mixture of heat, humidity and fresh, filtered air, Radiance teaches how and when to breathe and why it’s so important. One of the most popular techniques is pranayama, the extension of life force or breath control.

By learning how to breathe with certain motions — and learning when to inhale, exhale and how to — people find it much easier to work through those strenuous poses and those extra few seconds of exhaustion.

Radiance aims to teach people that if you can breathe through the struggle in the studio, you can breathe through tough situations in life or obstacles you may face. While most people clench and hold their breath when stressed, Radiance encourages people to breathe through it, enhancing clarity and awareness of the situation. In turn, the person is calmer and more likely to make better decisions.

“All of our classes, including the Pilates-based ones and HotHIIT, ultimately center around the breath,” she explained. “As people find the breath, they access more capacity in their lungs.

They can do things they thought they couldn’t do otherwise, like holding poses for longer and finding greater range of motion in the exercises.

Radiance offers courses including Bikram, Barkan, Yin, Vinyasa, Barre variations, and Hot HIIT. Radiance promises you will come out of class feeling more energetic, relaxed and happier.
