A
Cedar Grove resident’s new memoir tells the story of loss and love as a daughter rediscovers her enigmatic father after his death. Published this May, Lisa Romeo’s Starting with Goodbye is a brutally honest and compelling tribute. The book begins with loss and ends with love, as Romeo searches for meaning, reconciling the self-made Italian-American textile manufacturer who liked newspapers, smoking and trips to Las Vegas with the complex man who she realizes influenced so many of her life choices. In poignant, often lyrical prose, she reconsiders her affluent upbringing, navigates changing family dynamics, and forges a new fatherdaughter “relationship.” Romeo lives in Cedar Grove with her husband and sons. Starting with Goodbye is available in paperback and as an eBook. Learn more about author Lisa Romeo at www.lisaromeo.net.

Arbor Day Celebration
We Have What Your Garden Grows…
Attendees at the May 5 event spent time learning all about the role service dogs, and puppies in training, play in enhancing the freedom and improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities through Canine Companions for Independence. Eyes of the Wild brought in some more non-traditional animals including a groundhog, skunk and the Wallaby pair. All the animals were rescues that helped drive home the message of kids and adults can take a proactive role in protecting wildlife. The Millburn Middle School Peer Leader group, S.O.A.R. (Students of Art Respond), created a magnificent Mandala out of flowers and natural materials. Other special guests included Wild Birds Unlimited, Turtle Back Zoo, and the Millburn Fire Department, who discussed wildfire prevention.

Create Better Pictures with Hands-on Educational Classes & Seminars at Unique University By Deborah Schapiro, photo by Dan Epstein
T
hrough 71 years and three generations of family ownership, Fairfield’s Unique Photo has established itself as one of the largest distributors of photography supplies in the world. Beyond the wide array of quality supplies and products available, the company’s Unique University–a highly acclaimed education component of Unique Photo–has beginner to professional photographers flocking to the store. Company president Alexander Sweetwood noted, “Our Unique University is what sets us apart from other photo supply stores.” With over 2000 square feet of learning space, including a state-of-the-art main presentation hall, the company is able to incorporate education. He adds, “We offer a huge range of classes, workshops, events and photography excursions, seminars and even one-on-one instruction. Workshops are more hands-on, with students bringing their own equipment. We try to keep our classes small, so that everyone gets enough attention. Of course, a very popular professional speaker might attract 50 to 60 people.”
“Our Unique University is what sets us apart from other photo supply stores.” —Alexander Sweetwood
Class and workshop topics range from the basic “Understanding Your Camera” to more advanced technical courses in composition and lighting techniques. They also offer instruction in wedding photography, taking headshots, filming nature, how to use social media, and much more. Unique University classes and workshops are reasonably priced and held year-round; a programming highlight is the semi-annual Expo, held this month from June 8-10. The Expo offers something for everyone: 50 sample classes, raffles, equipment cleaning, and information sessions on new products, food trucks, and more. Each class is $10 and comes with a $10 token, which can be used toward the purchase of anything—during and even after— the Expo.
Alexander Sweetwood
Sweetwood says, “Our store motto is literally ’Create Better Pictures.’ With all of our educational offerings, we help our customers do just that.”

Tips to Create Perfect Paths for Your Landscape Design By Jason Sponzilli
T Jason Sponzilli
here are many practical benefits to hardscaping, such as creating a useful and safe walkway around your home. Paths are practical additions to landscape design but adding a walkway to your home is more than just covering a trail with stone. You want to consider things like lighting, plants and design details. Here are 5 ways to create awesome hardscaping paths that look like they belong in your landscape design.
1. Lighting Entrances Up Along Your Paths
Lighting around paths is important because you want to make sure that people can see where they are going during low light conditions. In addition, you can use strategically placed lighting to help highlight entrances to paths, structures and other design features. Landscape lighting can spotlight, accent and remove shadowy areas around your home.
2. Mixing and Matching Plants to Line Paths with Colors
When choosing the plants that will line your walkways, select plants with the amount of maintenance you are willing to take on. By combining different flowering plants and shrubs you can ensure that your path will stay surrounded by a lush feel and everchanging colors. Add some grasses and herbs along your path to add height and fragrance. 26

3. Making the Best Choices of
surround the area. Larger walkways should be designed at entrances and paths to outdoor kitchen and living spaces.
When it comes to the materials used as paving for paths, you want to use durable materials. It is important to choose the right materials; materials that will work with the design elements of your home and last in your landscape. For areas with heavy traffic or vehicle parking utilize materials with a low rate of compaction. Choosing the right materials will keep your path in place and looking its best.
5. Benches and Finishing Touches to
Materials for Different Types of Paths
4. Designing Paths for Specific Uses
and Avoiding Undersized Walkways
There are different uses for paths; connecting modes of egress, walkways to outdoor entertainment areas and paths surrounding gardens. No matter the use of your path, make sure that the design of it is wide enough for its intended purpose. Smalls paths limit the amount of space you will have to maintain plants and flowers that June 2018
Complete Walkways
Decorating your path with plants is a must but creative touches along the way will make your walkway stand apart. Build stone benches into your design or extend your path over a water feature with a bridge. Create a border around your path with a straight edge or give your path a more natural feel by allowing plants to grow over. With the right hardscaping, your garden paths will be the perfect addition to your landscape. Contact a landscape designer for help including paths and special features around your custom landscape design.

The Health Benefits of Socializing Our Furry Friends By Christine S. Maxwell, photo by Dan Epstein
L
ori Zimmerman, owner of Pups@Play in Livingston, believes that the healthiest and happiest dogs interact with other dogs regularly. In a recent interview, Lori discussed keeping your dogs healthy in their daily dealings.
How are dogs socialized at Pups@Play? We socialize dogs through our daycare programs. They may attend a full day, half day, or on an hourly basis. While dogs benefit and learn from other dogs what is inappropriate behavior, we always have a person available to divert a potential conflict and to reinforce correct behavior. Through socialization, your dog has more self-confidence, less anxiety and is more comfortable around other dogs and people.
What are some of the health risks associated with having your dog socialize with other dogs? We live in a world with many germs, and there are risks to your dog interacting with other dogs. But just as you wouldn’t stop sending your kids to school, sports, or other activities because of potential illnesses in a germridden world, your dogs should not be isolated either. With a few health precautions, the benefits of socialization outweigh the potential health risks. The most common upper-respiratory ailment for socialized dogs is canine cough. Canine cough is an airborne disease and has an incubation of seven to ten days before symptoms appear. So, we can’t avoid this disease because we may not know beforehand if our dog has been exposed to it. Stomach viruses, or other infections or viruses, and the potential of catching a parasite from another dog is always a risk when in a communal setting. Dog flu is another potential hazard. We ask that parents stay vigilant in keeping their dogs’ updated with vaccinations– their dog is not acting right, we ask that they bring them to their vet instead of daycare. The reality is, no matter how clean a facility is, there are always these risks, just like a kid’s schoolyard.
Lori Zimmerman
How can we keep the socialized dog healthy? The Bordetella vaccination is about seventy percent effective in preventing canine cough. However, different strains develop constantly, and we require that dogs be vaccinated twice a year, so that they have a better chance of not catching the current virus strain. Regarding dog flu, another vaccination provides some protection against this illness. In general, it’s advantageous to have a socialized dog despite some health risks. The health risks are rarely life-threatening. A well-socialized dog is a happy dog. Socialization provides optimal health benefits by allowing your dog to exercise fully both mind and body.

If your pet is micro-chipped, notify the company immediately. Call the police department of the town where your pet went missing, your own police department and neighboring towns via their nonemergency number. Ask where found strays are taken–your pet will be treated as a stray if picked up by animal control. Call the shelters to check for your pet. Most shelters are run by dedicated volunteers but are often understaffed so it is important to call frequently. Put out food, water, your pet’s bed, and an article of your clothing at the location where your pet was last seen.

What To Do First
June 2018
Enlist the help of friends and family and search by car, bicycle and foot where your pet went missing. Notify your veterinarian and the health department of your town, and check with the 24-hour animal emergency centers. Two that service North Jersey are the Animal Emergency and Referral Associates in Fairfield (973-2263282) and Oradell Animal Hospital in Paramus (201-262-0010). Report your missing pet to local veterinarians, dog groomers, pet stores, post offices, boarding and day care centers, pet sitters and dog walkers.
Spread The Word
Post big, colorful posters on telephone poles, at public libraries and at any local businesses willing to help. Get on social media– post on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Craigslist Lost and Found Pets. Also check Craiglist’s “Animals for Sale” list to be certain your pet is not listed. Contact the pet lost and found organizations. Some in our area include: Rescue Haven Foundation, Caldwell (rescuehaven.org); NJ Strays (njstrays.org); St Huberts Animal Welfare Center in Madison (973-377-2295); LostDogsofAmerica.org; MissingPetPartnership.org or 253-529-3999 (Pet Detective Kat Albrecht is the founder of this organization); PetFBI.com; TheCenterforLostPets.com; HumaneSocietyoftheUnitedStates.org; Pawboost.com Two fee-based agencies, Petamberalert.com and FindFido.com, will call homes, apartments and businesses in the area where your pet went missing. You can also enlist the help of a search and sniff dog team. Saint Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in Madison will have a team in place shortly–these teams charge by the hour. Don’t forget to place ads in your local town newspapers.

ShorelineSerenity
Montauk in the Off-Season By Louise B. Hafesh
T
here’s a certain serenity I feel when around surf and sand. Scientists say it has something to do with emitted ions that make you feel all Zen. I think it has to do with getting in touch with nature at its most basic. Whatever the reason, strolling along stretches of pristine beach or playing tag with ocean waves never fail to bring my anxiety levels down. And while summer may be peak months for shore excursions, those of us who’ve delighted in the joys of visiting a pretty beach town off-season, are in on a little secret—it’s a sure way to chase away winter blues.
Serenity by the Sea: Gurney's Resort & Seawater Spa Photo courtesy of Montauk Lighthouse Museum
Such was the case for my hubby and I on a recent pre-season visit to Gurney’s Resort & Seawater Spa, a calming place located “on the brink o’ the ocean” in Montauk, Long Island. Driving rain dogged us en route to our oasis, but that couldn’t dampen our spirits when upon arrival the sun broke through and we were heartened by our tranquil beachfront accommodations, dramatic ocean view and huge, private hideaway deck, complete with a beckoning, two-person lounger. Resisting that lure temporarily, we opted for a spontaneous jaunt to the oldest active lighthouse in the United States—The Montauk Point Lighthouse. (www.montauklighthouse.com.)

Sunset on the Brink of the Ocean: Gurney's Resort & Seawater Spa 42
Suburban Essex
June 2018
This must-see, historic landmark and museum is visible from 19 nautical miles away. History buffs will delight in the 1860 Keepers’ quarters, which houses authentic documents and photographs, including the Congressional authorization approving construction of the landmark by President George Washington in 1792. Galleries contain 19th century whaling industry artifacts, but the Tower is a standout! A climb to its top (128 narrow steps) rewards with a breathtaking view.
Beachside Bliss… Back at “our happy place,” cozied up on our private balcony with a glorious sunset as backdrop, a little bubbly, light supper and our own congenial company… we were set for the night! Awaking to a serene, misty morning and unhurried, in-room breakfast, we made time to explore Gurney’s’ expansive complex before heading to town. The Hampton’s icon, built in the 1920s to resemble a cruise ship, has evolved overtime from an unpretentious 20-unit summer hotel to a celebrated New York travel destination featuring 146 rooms suites and cottages, all with ocean views. Many boast vaulted
ceilings, oak floors, and custom furnishings. Most striking, though, is a definite attempt to maintain harmony with the environment. Why, even the rooms appear built into the dunes. Up for a little diversion, we drove to town along scenic back roads enjoying lookout points and ogling manicured mansions. In summer, Montauk can be a mad house, but shoulder seasons offer smaller crowds, access to popular restaurants, enticing prices, less traffic. During our visit, many seasonal shops and vendors remained open. Goodly bargains were plentiful! Continuing on Montauk Highway, we arrived at Camp Hero State Park, the beautiful 415acre stretch of forests, wetlands, and sandy beaches situated on a peninsula along the Atlantic Ocean. Accessible sunrise to sunset, the park is ideal for hiking, surfing, bird watching, picnics, and with remnants of old turrets and antenna towers dotting the landscape (evidence of a former life as a military base), it’s a wonderful stop for adventurous types. (www.parks.ny.gov) Heading back, we stopped for a delicious lunch at Bliss Kitchen (www.blissmtk.com), a local favorite known for overstuffed deli

sandwiches and Panini’s, and once on premise, hit the spa where from an array of luxurious treatments, I booked a seaweedbased “Ocean Radiance” facial. True to its name, my skin about glowed afterward. Meanwhile, hubby enjoyed the Spa’s sauna, hot tub and ocean-fed, seawater pool. Suffice to say, we were both effusively impressed! The best was yet to come, however… dinner at Scarpetta Beach! Every venue at Gurney’s showcases spectacular views of the Atlantic, no surprise that the seaside sister of the iconic Manhattan eatery has panoramic views, too! We dined to our hearts’ content on the likes of handmade pasta, fresh Tuna Susci, Dry Aged Sirloin cooked to perfection, topping off a flawless meal with a sampling of decadent desserts. All in all, as we decided over coffees, a little off-season Island life is surely a good thing!

t’s tricky to reapply face makeup, especially powder, and not end up with a cakey, lifeless complexion. For a fresh look, without washing your face, try using a facial mist—such as Evian’s mineral water spray. When you spray it on, leave it for a minute and then blot lightly with a tissue; letting it evaporate actually dries out your skin. Then touch up your makeup as usual. For extra hydration, try using a facial mist before you moisturize in the morning (you don’t have to blot your face as long as you apply the moisturizer right after you mist). This is a great supplement if you’re prone to pimples and using a medicated cream, which can sometimes dry out skin.

How to ‘Hand-San’
A
fter a long day of holiday shopping at the mall, you can’t help thinking about the sales person at the register with the runny nose, or her sneezing fit right before she handed you back your credit card. You contemplate heading to the bathroom to wash your hands, but instead opt for a quarter-sized drop of hand sanitizer and head to your car. But experts say that hand sanitizers don’t significantly reduce the overall amount of bacteria on your hands and shouldn’t be used in place of a wash with soap and water, if possible. Additionally, it’s important to check the percentage of alcohol in the hand sanitizer before you buy it. Studies show that unless the product’s alcohol concentration is at least 60 percent, it won’t be effective at killing bacteria.

Move More for a HEALTHY HEART
W
hile heart health and how to prevent heart disease are important topics, many people in the United States remain at risk. However, there are many ways for you to lower your risk for heart disease, and one of the most important is by becoming physically active. National guidelines recommend at least 2 hours, 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week for adults, like brisk walking where your blood gets pumping and you are a little breathless. If you find yourself short of time, you can incorporate physical activity in small chunks, such as three 10-minute intervals per day, and still achieve some heart health benefits.
How Moving More Helps When done regularly, physical activity can give your entire body—not just your heart—a boost. Getting your heart rate up and breaking a sweat can:
Suburban Essex
Silver Winner
• Strengthen heart muscles • Improve blood flow • Lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels • Help control weight
Ways to Become More Active Every Day In addition to working toward at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week, it’s important to avoid being sedentary, when possible. You can do that by making choices that build activity in your day. Some examples include: • Taking the stairs • Printing at the printer farthest from your desk at work. • Getting off the bus one stop early • Parking in the farthest space from the door • Walking around while you are on the phone or having walking meetings • Being active with your children, including playing outdoors
ACHIEVING HEALTH
NATURALLY
Check with Your Doctor Certain physical activities are safe for most people. However, if you have a chronic health condition such as heart disease, arthritis or diabetes, talk with your doctor about the type and amount of physical activity that is right for your health. Incorporating regular physical activity into your life can help your health in many ways, but it can be especially helpful for your heart.

Small Ways You Can
S
ometimes the smallest changes to your daily habits can have the biggest impact on your wellness. With that in mind, here are a few easy ways you can change your routine for a better you.
Sit Less Does your job require you to sit still most of the day? Even if you work out regularly, an otherwise sedentary lifestyle can be bad for your health. Be sure to get up throughout the day in order to stretch and walk around. It only takes a minute to reap the benefits, so don’t skip these breaks. Consider installing an app on your phone to remind you at periodic intervals when it’s time to move, and if possible, alter your workstation to make it easier to assist in this effort. Standing desks, treadmill desks and even biking desks can keep you active throughout the day.
CHANGE YOUR ROUTINE FOR A BETTER YOU Drink More Water What are you drinking during the day? If the answer is juice and soda, consider replacing at least some of that with water. Water doesn’t have to be flavorless. Infuse your water bottle or pitcher with your favorite fruits, vegetables and herbs. From cucumber and strawberry slices to watermelon and mint, you can have fun while hydrating, without resorting to high calorie beverages that offer little or no nutritional value. Focusing on sweeping lifestyle changes can leave anyone feeling overwhelmed. For lasting and meaningful impacts on your health and wellness, find small tweaks that you can make to your daily routine.
Rethink Brushing Good oral health includes taking great care of your gums – and research shows that harmful bacteria and plaque that lurk below the gum line can have a big impact. “A healthy mouth needs healthy gums, and even diligent brushing may not remove all harmful plaque,” said Sarah Thiel, RDH. “Toothpaste that goes below the gum line to destroy plaque bacteria in the mouth is a great addition to your brushing routine. Because if you’re not taking care of your gums, you’re not taking care of you.” Consider switching to a toothpaste specifically developed to improve gum health, like Crest Gum Detoxify, which uses Activated Foam Technology to seek out harmful bacteria in hard to reach places in order to neutralize it, even below the gum line. More information can be found at Crest.com. 50

Spice it Up If you rely on fat and sugar for the bulk of flavor in your cooking, consider improving your seasoning routines for more nutritional meals. Reduce your reliance on these ingredients without getting bored by adding healthier boosts of flavor to dishes. Chop fresh herbs onto your pasta or salad, add spices to your stew, include garlic, ginger and even hot peppers in your stir-fry. —StatePoint

Diamond Minds
A Diamond in the Rough By Barry Farber
E
very once in a while you realize how lucky you are when you run into someone who becomes a mentor and has a positive impact on your life.
Bill “Doc” Pollak is a New Jersey legend and one of the most positive people I know. He was featured in the book, Covered Wooden Grandstands, a collection of stories by New Jersey’s Best Sports Writers, Past and Present. It’s 100+ years of semi pro baseball in New Jersey… and beyond. Why was he the only one they wrote an entire chapter about in the book? Maybe these few facts will surprise you: • At 83 years old he is still pitching and mostly plays as a designated hitter • Has 1,028 wins as a pitcher • Pitched for the Yankees to Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Elston Howard
Doc’s key lessons on success in business, life and baseball: 1. As a dentist the key to my business was relationships. You had to provide that service that shows you cared. Then all the Barry Farber rewards will come along with endless referrals. You also have to be genuine, and be yourself. I’m a perfectionist and require the highest quality you can deliver.
“If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, And treat those two impostors just the same…” —One of Doc’s favorite quotes (from the Rudyard Kipling poem, IF)
• Competed in nine marathons including the Boston Marathon and New York Marathon • Is in the Roy Hobbs Hall of Fame and four others
2. In life a positive attitude makes all the difference. Sometimes you have to readjust your goals but you’re always striving to be your best and trying to help people get better. Try not to be critical of other people and be true to your principles and ideals. You have to have integrity in your life. If you make a mistake you need to recognize it and own it.
3. And finally in baseball, which is a very humbling sport, there are many lessons I’ve learned about the value of competition, camaraderie and discipline. For people who know the sport baseball is never boring and every situation is different.
