IN THE MARKETPLACE By Deborah Schapiro, photos supplied by Kings Food Market

A Re-Opening Fit For a King(s)

hen a business celebrates a reopening, it typically has been closed for a period of time. Kings Food Market in Verona, however, celebrated a “Grand Re-Opening” from January 24-26 without having had to close for a single day. The professional team there completed an extensive remodeling largely during the off hours that the store was closed over a fourmonth period.

don’t pre-cut or pre-wrap. Our cheeses stay fresher because we keep them in their original wheel form.”

According to Kings Food Markets Area Director Tom McNerney, the renovation was accomplished one section at a time, to minimize disruption to customers. He says, “We started with the floral department, which had been in a corner of the store. We moved it front and center, so that the first thing you see when you walk into Kings now is a beautiful floral display.”

Also new is the creation of an all-Italian food department. McNerney explains, “Since Italian cuisine is always very popular, we’ve dedicated a section of the store to Italian products. We’ll be selling high-end products such as olive oils, balsamic vinegar and biscotti.”

Also upgraded was the cheese department. Notes McNerney, “We have an associate behind the counter at all times; our associates have been working in the field for many years and are quite knowledgeable. Kings now carries over 300 different domestic and imported cheeses, which we

Recognizing that today’s shoppers want high-quality meals but often lack the time to create them from scratch, Kings has also greatly increased its prepared-food department. McNerney cites a stuffed pork roast and a Portobello sandwich as examples of delicious new offerings.

Customers with a sweet tooth will appreciate the new layout of the bakery department. A new state-of-the-art patisserie case has been put in, so as to better hold the 18-22 different types of cakes offered on any given day. Valentine’s Day will feature a chocolate fountain used to create chocolate-coated strawberries; there will also be seven different types of chocolate-coated

pretzels. Perhaps the most eye-catching result of the renovation is the creation of a café area. Located in the front of the store, it includes tables, chairs and a TV. General Store Manager, Anthony Sanfilippo likens the area to a mall food court: “Customers can purchase items for lunch or a snack, and eat them right in the store.” In addition to the soup and salad bars, Kings has introduced a mezze bar, featuring Mediterranean fare such as falafel and stuffed grape leaves. The sushi department has also been expanded. During the remodeling process, one thing did not change: Kings’ active participation in the Northern New Jersey “Act Against Hunger” initiative, which helps keep area food banks supplied. This may be King’s most attractive feature: its recognition that there is hunger even near upscale supermarkets. s

DIAMOND MINDS By Barry Farber

LANDING A JOB AND BUILDING A CAREER

he majority of my work consists of connecting and meeting with key decision makers. My clients ask me to help them target specific companies that have a strong fit for their products and services and then get them in the door to meet with the right contact. Here are five keys I employ that can be applied to job seeking for college graduates.

1 2

Make a target list of the top 5-10 companies you would like to work for and where you feel you would add value.

Do your homework. There is so much information online about most companies. Search for the CEO of a speciﬁc company and read recent interviews and articles on that person before making your calls. Start at the top and work your way down to the person in charge of a speciﬁc department or responsibility. Also, seek out people who work in businesses that are similar to your targets and ask questions.

Network. Do what’s comfortable for you: use social media, speak with as many people as you can that have connections, join associations, and put yourself out there in a positive light. Go to www. barryfarber.com for speciﬁc articles on networking and getting appointments.

Differentiate yourself. What makes you unique? How can you stand out from others? My daughter got strong written testimonials from her various summer jobs that she edited and put under each job description on her resume to stand out from other applicants.

“No” makes me go. Most sales people give up after their ﬁrst or second “no,” yet many executives agree that most sales happen after the seventh or eighth re-

jection. If you believe there is a strong ﬁt and you can add value to their business, go back to your targets with additional information or ﬁnd other ways to get introduced. This shows them your passion and tenacity, something many companies see as a valuable asset these days.

a quality product to you.” And then you have to work on actually doing that.

Once you get the job, here are four great tips from Irv Rothman, president and CEO of Hewlett-Packard Financial Services and author of “Out-Executing the Competition.” Barry Farber: What advice would you give college graduates about getting their foot in the door with employers and then building value so they stay there and grow? Irv Rothman: Getting in the door is about patience and the ability to handle rejection, but once you’re there I have four pieces of advice. Number one is never say no. BF: What do you mean by that? IR: If somebody asks you to do something you might not like or know how to do, or you’re afraid to fail, don’t say “no” or “I don’t know how to do that.” The correct answer is, “This isn’t something I’m familiar with but I will ﬁnd out how to do it and I will deliver

Barry Farber

The second piece of advice is, always work for somebody you can learn something from, at any stage of your career. Even for me today, I’m still learning something new every day and that’s a very stimulating environment.

Third, take an assignment that nobody else wants. Demonstrate your commitment and that you can really add value, even if it means you have to move some place or out of your comfort zone. The forth piece of advice that I think is very important, especially in today’s extraordinarily complex world is that you really have to learn how to operate well within a team structure. Because the world is so complicated and things move at the speed of light, no one person can do it by themselves. Especially in the corporate world there are these interdependencies, and you’ve got to learn how to recognize them, and make the rest of the people around you better by being a functional team member. If you do these four things you’ll be in pretty good shape. 

Rise of the Cauliﬂower

ale is so 2013. The “it” veggie for 2014 is cauliflower! Packed with nutrients, broccoli’s cousin is going to be the ubiquitous ingredient in a wide variety of recipes this year. Low in calories, cauliflower is high in anti-inflammatory and cancerfighting vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, fiber and folic acid. So while delicious, it also protects your health and prevents disease. Cauliflower can be served as a simple side dish when roasted or steamed, but its uses are virtually limitless. It is great as a soup or as an alternative to cream in a soup, made into guilt-free Alfredo sauce, either substituted for potatoes or included with them in a recipe for mashed potatoes, turned into a wheat-free version of Tabouli, and even used to lighten up macaroni and cheese. Cauliflower can even be a substitute for steak when cutting it in a cross-section so that the florets cohere with the stem, thus offering a wide surface area for charring, sautéing or grilling. The cauliflower “steak” may be dressed with various seasonings and sauces.

End Belt Bulk with isABelt®

his clever, new accessory is a belt—or is it? Made from a strong, yet lightweight, half-inch TPU plastic that virtually disappears when on, this fashion “fix-it” accessory is instantly slimming. Put the patentpending isABelt through your belt loops and prevent your pants from slipping and gapping as well as eliminate belt bulge and bulk. Wearing a fashion belt over a top but still need to keep your pants in place? IsABelt is the invisible answer. IsABelt also is perfect for traveling through airports—its closure is plastic and it does not have any hardware.

IsABelt is available in both clear and black in sizes small, medium, large and plus. IsABeltWIDE® has the same great features but is one inch wide, and is intended for both men and women—one size fits most. IsABelt is available in Livingston at Adornments (79 South Livingston Ave.) and Kids at Heart (565 South Livingston Ave.). For more information and products, go to www.isabelt.com.

Personal Training on a New Level: KINESIS

he cutting edge workout is here, and its name is Kinesis Training. Kinesis Training takes traditional exercises (like chest press, lat pull, row) and combines them with functional movements (like reaching, squatting, bending) into a unique cable resistance exercise. By doing so, it develops balance, core/overall strength and flexibility for people of all fitness levels. Notably, cable-based equipment have been determined to produce twice the fitness results as single plane exercises, according to the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. “Kinesis is the most versatile, most efficient and most scientific training program around,” states Eric Murphy, NASM, CPT, PES, CES of Pearl Fitness. In order to participate in Kinesis Training, a “Kinesis Wall” is required. The Kinesis Walls that are used at Pearl Personal Training in Little Falls consist of four panels of grips, cables and weight stacks that allow the user to keep varying degrees of resistance in threedimensional movements and multi-plane motion. An infinite amount of exercises can be achieved, customizable to meet all fitness levels. The no-impact exercises use fluid, natural movements to achieve full body involvement. It is designed for individual use, overseen by a personal trainer.

Kinesis Training is offered at Pearl Personal Training, 453 Main Street, 2nd floor, Little Falls; 973-837-8202; www.pearlpersonaltraining.com.

Tots and Their Teeth Encouraging Dental Hygiene in Children By Julie Jacobs

ooth decay is the most prevalent chronic condition affecting children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cavities are five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever in children. Furthermore, cavities in baby teeth pose a greater possibility for cavities in adult teeth. The good news is that developing good oral hygiene habits and visiting the dentist regularly early on can lead to lifelong healthy teeth. And with the American Dental Association (ADA) marking February as National Children’s Dental Health Month, there’s no better time than now to learn how easy it is to treat those pearly whites from the start!

Basics for Babies and Beyond A baby’s teeth typically start appearing around six months, and once they do, they’re already at risk for decay. “When a tooth erupts, there’s always a chance for decay to develop, so it’s important in infants to keep [teeth] clean,” says Tina Moheb, DMD, of Advanced Smiles Dental Care in Verona. Dentists suggest using a soft, clean cloth with water to wipe your baby’s gums and emerging teeth after feeding. Dr. Moheb also discourages bottle propping or sleeping with bottles, both of which can promote decay (referred to as Baby Bottle Tooth Decay). In these cases, liquids pool around the teeth, thereby giving plaque bacteria an opportunity to produce acids that attack enamel. Often the parent is not aware of this process because it occurs on the inside of the upper front teeth where it is not easily visible. Pacifiers that are dipped in sugary substances like honey or juice can contribute to decay as well. Always check for any spots or stains on your baby’s gums and emerging teeth, and if you detect any, arrange to see a dentist. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends having in place a “dental home”—where you’ve met with the dentist and registered your child as a patient—by the age of one. Dr. Moheb also advises prescription fluoride drops (or chewable for older children) in consultation with your pediatrician, as fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to decay. When your child’s teeth come in, however, brush them gently twice (continued on page 74)

Once your child can spit it out, switch to an ADA-approved fluoride paste. You’ll want to help with or supervise your child’s teeth brushing until ages seven or eight, and introduce flossing when she has teeth that touch.

The overall goal, of course, is to make kids feel comfortable about going to the dentist, whom they should see every six months for checkups.

Visiting the Dentist

You can promote good oral hygiene in your children simply by being a good role model for them and by keeping brushing and flossing entertaining and exciting. “Get down to your child’s level and take turns brushing one another’s teeth,”

Paving the way for fear-free dental visits is key to your child’s good dental health. The ADA suggests scheduling the first visit by age one. Normally, at this
