5 Years of NCJW’s Back 2 School Store
F
or the fifth year in a row, the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), Essex County Section, recently held its annual Back 2 School store at Temple B’Nai Shalom in West Orange. The oneday-only event, held this year on August 4, provided an array of brand new clothes, school supplies and personal-care items for underprivileged students, cost free. With the assistance of 300 NCJW volunteers, each child got to select items they wanted and needed. The president of NCJW/Essex states, “Watching the looks of pure joy and excitement on the children’s faces truly puts everything in perspective for me. Many of these youngsters have never had anything but hand-me-downs, and this year they can proudly sport their own new clothes and supplies as they go back to school fully equipped to learn.” Since its inception, the Back 2 School store has benefitted nearly 1,600 disadvantaged students in Essex County. For more information or upcoming events visit www.ncjwessex.org.
Cocktails, Celebration and Inspiration
O
n May 9, 2013, The American Yoga Academy hosted the Celebration of Life Cocktail Party. More than 250 people attended the event, held in The Loft at The Wilshire Grand Hotel. The evening included cocktails, celebration and inspiration. Prizes, including a certificate for Full Teacher Training Tuition at The American Yoga Academy and a certificate for Seduction of Spirit at The Chopra Center for Wellbeing in California, were awarded at the conclusion of the event. “When my sister, Madeleine Diab, a 25year cancer survivor, passed away in December, I was determined to organize an event in her honor that would benefit others with cancer,” Diab said. “100% of the proceeds went to Kula for Karma, an organization that certifies yoga teachers to cancer patients, wounded veterans, and victims of domestic violence.” Including a dollar-for-dollar match from Pfizer, the event raised a total of $6,478 for the charity. The American Yoga Academy is located within The Wilshire Grand Hotel at 350 Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange.

Unique Desk Takes the “Work” Out of Homework
A
mong the many treasures and unique finds within East Hanover’s Far Fetched Imports is an eye-catching and intriguing desk. Made from wood salvaged and repurposed from old Indonesian boats, the desks are one-of-a-kind in that the colors and wood on each are unique.

To view a desk in person, stop by Far Fetched Imports, a business specializing in unique and one-of-a-kind furniture, sourced from around the globe.

Language Program Celebrates 40 Years
I
n 1973, when Francois Thibaut founded the Language Workshop for Children, his vision was met with consternation and doubt. “It wasn’t easy. People said that I was damaging kids, and that everyone “knew” that teaching second languages before high school was confusing,” Thibaut states. Today, celebrating 40 years in business, the program, utilizing his trademark Thibaut Technique, is going strong. Offering French, Spanish, Italian and Chinese, the Language Workshop for Children still employs Thibaut’s method and ideologies— first listen, then understand, then speak. “From the time I was six, the year that I was sent to an international boarding school in Paris, I saw how easily children grasp languages. Every day kids arrived from all over the world. Without knowing a word of French on their first day, they were fluent in six weeks,” Thibaut states. In honor of the business’ 40th anniversary Thibaut is offering 40% off classes and lessons to those who register before September 9, 2013. For more information on the Language Workshop for Children, which offers locations in Madison and Montclair as well as New York City, Long Island and other areas of New Jersey, or to register for classes, please visit www.languageworkshopforchildren.com.

Local Business Wins Kitchen Design Award
n April 2013, Showcase Kitchen and Bath of Bloomfield won a Grand Prize in the Crystal Cabinets 2013 Design Awards for their work on an Upper Montclair kitchen project. The contest drew thousands of submissions and was open to contractors and homeowners across the nation who included any Crystal Cabinets line in their project. “The project, which was designed with an ‘arts and crafts’ aesthetic in mind, with warm wood cabinets and a deep green glass tile backsplash, replaced a kitchen that included dated bleached wood cabinets,” Showcase owner Don DiStasio, Jr. states. “The new kitchen fits seamlessly into the traditional style home, and we are extremely honored to have been chosen for this award.” This was Showcase Kitchen and Bath’s first time entering into the Crystal Cabinets contest. For more information or to view more images from the remodel, please visit www.showcasekitchen.com or visit their showroom, which is located at 438 Broad Street in Bloomfield.

Storm-Proofing Your Home
W
Tips from Local professionals
inter is coming, and with it the snow and cold that can cause roofs to buckle and heating bills to soar. In fact, as the past two Halloweens have shown, winter hazards can start as early as mid-autumn. To see what steps homeowners can take to protect themselves and their homes, Suburban Essex asked several local experts for their advice.
By DeBorah Schapiro

SUBURBAN ESSEX MAGAZINE
September 2013
According to Justin Shaw, founder of Trees Unlimited, the single most important thing homeowners can do to safeguard their property is to look up. He explains, “Homeowners generally concentrate on their home’s foundations or its curb appeal, but a healthy, well-maintained tree is more likely to survive a winter storm, as well as provide both aesthetic and economic value.” Before and after each of the past two October storms, Shaw fielded calls from panicked homeowners suddenly seeing their trees as potentially life-threatening hazards. He notes that while he always lets the client make the final decision, he never wants to cut down a tree unnecessarily. Saying, “I make my money off of my integrity,” he is often able to talk a client out of cutting down the tree in question. Obviously, there are some situations that truly call for deforestation. In general, though, Shaw finds that regular pruning, done by a reputable professional, is the best way to maintain a tree’s health. Like Shaw, Andrew Lastella is concerned with protecting trees during the winter. Lastella, a landscape architect with Sponzilli Landscape Group, recommends wrapping deciduous trees to protect them from the sun. Young, newly planted and thin-barked trees, including cherry, crabapple, linden and maple trees, are most susceptible to scald. Lastella explains, “When the winter sun meets the cold plant, a crack may form in the bark, which can damage the trunk.” Regarding water features, Lastella says, “Make sure that the water is drained from a decorative fountain and that the pump is brought inside so that it won’t get damaged from the cold. Bring in any fish from a koi pond unless the pond is at least four feet deep. And as for a pool, make sure that you let some of the water out before covering it. In this case, it’s probably best to go with a professional.”
WE’VE MOVED! In addition to one’s actual landscape, the equipment used to maintain it should also be “winterized.” Lastella recommends changing the oil and lubricant on lawnmowers, and scraping the dirt off of hand tools before applying a bit of oil. Snow-blowers should have their oil changed and sparkplugs checked.

he explains, “and should be completed by a licensed plumber and electrician who can also maintain and provide service for the unit.” Esdale stresses that generators must be properly sized for the correct load required to power the appliances and items you wish to operate during an outage. You also have to make sure that you have enough gas to your house, which can be determined by contacting your utility company. “You should not only have your contractor submit a load summary to the utility company to determine if you need an upgrade to your gas line, but your contractor should also submit all the necessary paperwork to the township for permits and zoning requirements. It can take between four and eight weeks, on average, for these steps,” Esdale says. Ensuring that you utilize a trained and licensed installer and allowing enough time for installation is key to streamlining the process and to guaranteeing the life of your generator. Additionally, according to Mike DeJoseph, of Bloomfield Cooling, Heating and Electric, performing regular maintenance on your stand-by generator is imperative in guaranteeing these units will function properly in the event of an emergency. “Maintenance, including two oil changes per year and allowing the units to self-test for twenty minutes weekly, is extremely important,” DeJoseph explains. “The test can be set up to run the same time each week. He recommends setting a time when you will be home, so you can see that the unit turns on.
Like Shaw and Lastella, Ed Carolan of Carolan Contractors believes in regular maintenance as the best protection against storm damage. For him, home maintenance begins on the outside. Carolan urges homeowners to make sure their gutters are thoroughly cleaned and roofs inspected to make sure that they can withstand a dumping of snow. He also reminds them that chimney flashing (the sheet metal at the intersection of the chimney and the roof ) and vent pipes should both be sealed, in order to prevent leaking. In addition to water damage, the other major winter problem is the low temperature. Carolan notes that all window and door trim should be sealed to keep out the cold air. “People should insulate their homes above the foundation line in order to reduce their heating costs.” reGULar prUninG, done by a Ed O’Hara of E & M O’Hara Elecreputable professional, is the best trical Contractors urges homeowners to make sure that their fire extinguishers and way to MainTain a Tree’S heaLTh. alarms work, changing the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors if necessary.

IN THE MARKETPLACE By Deborah Schapiro, photos by Dan Epstein
Susanne N. A lthough the women’s clothing boutique Susanne N. has been on Bellevue Avenue in Upper Montclair for just two years, its roots in town go back nearly four decades. Susanne N., owned by fashion industry veteran Susanne Neckermann, is the latest incarnation of Alex, a Valley Road institution for decades. Neckermann, who had earlier served as vice- president at Escada and president of Feraud, bought Alex while she was vice- president for wholesale at German label Trixi Schober. She explains, “Every time I did a Trixi Schober trunk show for Sally, the previous owner, she would ask me to buy the store from her. Finally, I decided to take her up on her offer.” Neckermann bought Alex in 2009, calling it Alex II. After a major fire, she decided to relocate and rename the shop.
Fashion With a Point of View
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Susanne Neckermann
“Our trunk shows feel like a
>>>>>>>>>> >>
big party.”
Susanne N. opened around the corner from its original location in October 2011. According to Neckermann, “Our merchandise has a definite design point of view; we are not run-of-the-mill fashion.” She sees her boutique as attracting two different types of women: “My typical customer is looking for clothing she can both work and play in. We also have customers who might not work in an office and are looking for a more casual style.” Whatever the client’s lifestyle, she will be sure to find something she loves. Susanne N. carries a variety of brands, from
Blumarine (mostly cocktail dresses) to Johnstons of Elgin (fine Scottish cashmere). There is also a large selection of Lafayette 148, which includes dressy, career and casual wear. Neckermann is particularly excited about a recent addition: “Missoni and M Missoni will be new collections for us; we have beautiful knits in really pretty colors.” Susanne N. also carries accessories to go with all that fabulous clothing. There is jewelry by Alexis Bittar, as well as a selection of Piero Guidi handbags. Enthuses Neckermann, “These are fabulous bags with a super-interesting print, with a 100-year history in the same materials as Louis Vuitton.” The store does regular jewelry and accessory trunk shows, as well as its traditional clothing trunk shows. Trunk shows are a regular occurrence at Susanne N. Neckermann explains, “The companies we buy our merchandise from
lend us samples of their entire collection for two days—not just the pieces we sell in the store. Customers come in, and with the help of my team—especially Pat, without whom the store wouldn’t work—we put together outfits that they love in styles and sizes that we may not actually carry in the store. Most showrooms send us at least 100 samples, so customers can choose from a much broader assortment than if they just walked in. It’s a great opportunity and a lot of fun; our trunk shows feel like a big party.” Unlike some boutiques that try to appeal to both women and their daughters, Susanne N. is strictly adults-only. Neckermann says, “We are not a kids’ boutique; we search out diverse clothing that looks great on women and fits them really well.” Susanne N. 193 Bellevue Ave., Upper Montclair 973-746-4800 • www.susanne-n.com

EDUCATION
Gaining Academic Achievement
through the Arts By Terri Williams
M
any people consider involvement in the arts as merely an extracurricular activity, but according to Americans for the Arts, the nation’s leading nonprofit organization for promoting arts and arts education, students who are involved in the arts are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, four times more likely to participate in math and science fairs, and three times more likely to be elected to class office. Janet Sales, the artistic director of the Essex Youth Theatre agrees. “The theater classes we teach focus on building self-esteem and confidence,” she says. “Over our 25 years, we have heard numerous reports by our students’ parents about how these classes have positively affected them in school.” For instance, Sales says that children who used to be shy now have the confidence to stand up in class, read aloud or solve math problems, making the entire school experience a lot less stressful.
“One can read Shakespeare or one can perform it,” says Sharron Miller. “One can sub-divide time scientifically or one can write and/or play music, and who is to say which is better?” Her comments reflect the statistics from Americans for the Arts, and Sales explains, “This boost in self-esteem has also translated to our kids having the confidence to try new things that in the past might have seemed daunting, such as entering the Science Fair or joining a club.” Cara Bramson of the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey has also witnessed the power of arts in the Center’s outreach programs, which provide high-quality visual arts education and experiences to public school students from all over northern New Jersey. “Our students from Jefferson Arts Academy in Elizabeth benefit from in-depth sequential learning, says Bramson. “In addition to expanding their knowledge and understanding of contemporary art, they also gain confidence and independence.” Education can take various shapes and forms according to Sharron Miller, the artistic director of Sharron Miller’s Academy for the Performing Arts. For example, the Academy has a K-5 program in Newark’s Quitman Street Community School designed to reinforce math skills through dance. “The children learn how to count in sets,

how to subtract and divide, and also how to make geometrical shapes using their bodies.” However, Miller says the most important lesson learned is how to work together creatively. “The kids learn to direct negative energy into a positive place, how to focus – all learning skills that translate into greater academic understanding.” One reason that the arts can be used to spur academic achievement is that some children learn better through the arts than in a purely academic setting. “One can read Shakespeare or one can perform it,” says Miller. “One can sub-divide time scientifically or one can write and/or play music, and who is to say which is better?” Suzanne O’Connor of The Art Garage at StudioKids Art agrees with Miller that it is important to respect the different learning styles of children and play to their strengths. “I have seen brilliant students have trouble conveying their ideas and thoughts through writing.” However, O’Connor says, “When given a chance to draw their ideas and explain them with a visual example, their ideas come alive.” She adds that the problem solving, advanced thinking, and planning skills developed in art projects are also vital to science, essays and math. O’Connor explains, “The arts give you another method of finding your answer, a deeper understanding, or maybe the simple pleasure of sharing a common idea with another individual without speaking the same language.” And Kathy Pucci, director of PPAC, Pucci Performing Arts Centre, adds that the arts serve another educational purpose. “In addition, these students build cultural bridges, often forging friendships with other kids who might not normally be in their circle, thus bringing greater understanding and communication in our American society.”

Healthy Teeth Help Promote Wellness
F
lossing, brushing and getting regular dental checkups are vital to good oral health to be sure, but they also play an important role in overall well-being. With studies linking oral decay and disease to an array of chronic and even life-threatening illnesses, an increasing number of health care professionals are now taking a more holistic approach to care and considering how all parts of the body—including the mouth—are inextricably tied to good health. It is a movement focused more on prevention of dental disease than simply treatment after the fact.
What We Know a variety of bacteria live in the mouth. When dental care lapses, some of these micro-organisms are able to facilitate the buildup of plaque on the teeth and gums. Over time, this excessive plaque can lead to tooth problems and gum disease marked by tenderness and bleeding. Gingivitis is an early form of gum disease, and if left untreated, often advances into periodontitis, a serious gum infection that can erode bone, destroy tissue and create troublesome pockets between teeth. Harmful bacteria can then travel through these pockets into the bloodstream and ultimately cause or aggravate health concerns throughout the body. For years, research has uncovered connections between poor mouth health and diabetes, stroke, premature birth,

HIV/aIDS and heart disease. Some investigations, for example, have found the presence of oral bacteria in aortic aneurysms and carotid artery plaque. More recently, scientists have begun theorizing about relationships between compromised oral health and lung disease, osteoporosis and arthritis. Much of their thinking is based on the presence of bacteria, bone loss and inflammation that are associated all with periodontal disease and respectively with the other conditions.
What You Can Do Despite the sobering science, you can help ward off dental disease and in turn potentially maintain good health by simply taking good care of your teeth. What does this involve? It starts with a daily home regimen. Brush lightly for two minutes in the morning and then again before bed. always use fluoride toothpaste as well as a soft-bristled brush, which you should replace every few months. also, floss once a day to remove food particles that can lodge between your teeth and along your gum line and subsequently spur the growth of bacteria and development of plaque. and gargle with mouthwash or rinse to kill bacteria and benefit from additional fluoride. For more thorough oral cleaning—and oral examination—see your dentist. experts recommend twice-yearly dental visits, during which your dentist can look for signs of decay (and oral cancer as well). When decay is treated early on, smaller fillings are required to restore a tooth, so more of its structure can remain. That’s good news for the long term, in that teeth stay strong and present with fewer problems. apart from practicing good oral hygiene, you can further promote both your oral and general health by eating right. Sugary foods enable the formation of damaging acids that can cause cavities, decay and other mouth troubles, so limit high-sugar snacks and maintain a well-balanced diet. try including into your meals more multigrain breads and cereals, fruits and vegetables, and dairy products containing calcium and Vitamin D. The american Dental association says they all help foster healthy teeth and gums. s

Sculpt Your Body with
CoolSculpting!
Y
our days are often filled with grueling workouts in your quest for a tighter, more sculpted body. Who doesn’t want to look their best? But, despite your fitness regimen and healthy eating, your lower abs and love handles continue to jiggle. The cruel reality is that certain fat deposits linger regardless of exercise or diet. Now, imagine an FDA-approved, noninvasive, non-surgical procedure that dramatically reduces those unsightly bulges in as little as one hour! CoolSculpting, a technology conceived at Massachusetts General Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, is a revolutionary technology that freezes and eliminates and reduces unwanted fat cells and leaves you with a more sculpted stomach area. It quickly contours those stubborn areas without surgery or recovery time. During treatment, the cooled fat cells die and are gradually flushed from the body. According to Dr. Barry DiBernardo, a nationally recognized leader in plastic surgery, CoolSculpting “is truly revolutionary, and ideal for candidates who are in good physical
shape and want to reduce those resistant pockets of fat but return to their lives the same day.” Even though patients see results after one treatment, Dr. DiBernardo reports that two treatments produce visibly dramatic changes more comparable to traditional liposuction.
”
receiving treatments on two areas at once. CoolSculpting patients can expect longlasting results, which motivates them to maintain their healthy lifestyles. Convenient, safe and effective, CoolSculpting is an affordable option for those who desire a sleeker, tighter body without surgery.
... ideal for candidates who are in good physical shape and want to reduce those resistant pockets of fat but return to their lives the same day.
Unlike invasive surgery, CoolSculpting allows patients to return to work or to the gym immediately. Equally as popular with men as with women, CoolSculpting involves placing applicators on such tough areas as thick waistlines, back-rolls and arm fat. Recent innovations in applicator design now enable “dual sculpting”, allowing patients to work on their laptops or read while efficiently Sponsored by New Jersey Plastic Surgery

ersa Fit and Spa in Montclair NJ is not your typical fitness center and spa. With state-of-the-art equipment designed to accelerate weight loss while firming and toning the body, and a unique spa experience that utilizes organic PCA skincare and nutritional products, Versa Fit and Spa offers a different approach to improving fitness and health. And Kate Saab isn’t your typical owner. She’s a certified personal trainer, massage therapist, and esthetician—or skin care specialist. In addition, Saab is certified as a spinning instructor, PCA chemical peels practitioner and Rossiter System coach. These elements combine for a distinctive fitness and spa experience. For example, according to Saab, “Versa Fit and Spa in Montclair is the only fitness center in the United States that combines the technology of PowerPlate, Vacu Fit and Rollfit equipment to help transform the body in just one month.” Each of these specialized machines is designed to deliver a customized workout. The PowerPlate is a remarkable accelerated workout device that builds muscle while reducing body fat. It uses advanced vibration technology to work the muscles multiple times per second. This accelerated training device is designed to increase circulation, enhance cardiovascular function and improve flexibility. According to Saab, users will also experience reduced cellulite and body fat, and relief from chronic pain. The Vacu Fit is a pressurized capsule built around a treadmill. As a result, users are walking in a neoprene top that is vacuum sealed around the body to create resistance. Along with the machine’s infrared heat, Saab says, “this yields twice as much calorie loss as a conventional treadmill.” She continues, “This method is proven to improve blood circulation, smooth the skin, and help the body shed inches and remove such fatty tissue as cellulite.”

The Rollfit is an electronic massage console that provides controlled nonstop rolling massage therapy using a screen guide and several machine settings to ensure comfort and therapeutic results. “The Rollfit delivers smoothing massages that increase blood circulation, encourage muscle relaxation, and maximize toxin release,” says Saab, “in addition to boosting collagen production, shaping the body and reducing cellulite.” At first glance, the SlimLine Oxygen Pod Deluxe may look like a prop from an upcoming science-fiction movie, but it’s actually a capsule that incorporates heat, gentle massage and light to create a relaxing full-body service. Saab says the pod creates a calming spalike environment, but is also an effective weight loss device. She explains that “it uses metabolic weight loss techniques to effectively work together to stimulate and increase the basal metabolic rate, which helps to lower weight and body mass index.” She continues, “The pod also detoxifies the body, lowers cholesterol levels and slows the aging process.” However, Saab also explains that long-lasting sustainable weight loss and reduction of body mass index is reinforced by continued use of the pod in addition to a modified eating plan. Versa Fit and Spa also offers the Rossiter System workouts, a one-on-one process in which Saab gently stretches the body to relieve it of aches, tingling, numbness and tightness. She recommends these connective tissue workout sessions to relieve back and hip pain, neck stiffness, sore shoulders, osteoarthritis, pulled muscles and even menstrual cramps.
“I’m very proud of the fact that our clients of all ages and levels of health and fitness are deriving enormous benefits from the accelerated training with PowerPlate,” Saab states. “Individuals with certain pain conditions have made major turnarounds and others have lost significant weight.” Kate Saab offers a revolutionary approach to fitness that combines vibration and vacuum technology, lymphatic massages, and detoxifying cellulite burning techniques to shape and create a stronger, more sculpted body.

The Right to Bare Arms

f the back of your arms and thighs are continually plagued with tiny bumps and rough, scratchy patches, you might have a common skin condition known as Keratosis pilaris. Those little bumps are clogged hair follicles resulting from a build-up of keratin. While there’s no “cure” for this condition, there are several over-the-counter topical treatments that can help reduce its effects. AmLactin, which can be found in drugstores (and also prescribed by a dermatologist), is lotion that contains 12% lactic acid, which simultaneously exfoliates and hydrates skin, helping to unclog hair follicles and keep skin smooth. GLYTONE’s KP line (glytone-usa.com) includes exfoliating body wash that contains 8.8% free glycolic acid to combat rough patches, and body lotion with 17.5% free glycolic acid to treat and soften skin. Finally, the DERMAdoctor KP Duty skin care line (dermadoctor.com), which also contains glycolic acid, includes a body scrub to be used once or twice a week, a priming serum to reduce redness, and moisturizing therapy lotion to smooth and hydrate skin.

RESOLVE CENTER:
Helping Patients at Difficult Times
A
ll of us hit rough patches at some point in our lives. When rough patches turn into long-term issues affecting jobs, schoolwork or relationships, it may be time to call in a trained mental professional to help assess the situation and get you back on the path to a fulfilling life. Psychiatrist Dr. Romulo Aromin Jr., who serves as CEO and Medical Director, heads Roseland’s Resolve Center for Behavioral Health. Board-certified in adult, child and adolescent psychiatry, Dr. Aromin specializes in behavioral health and addiction services and is certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine. Involved in psychiatry for nearly two decades, the doctor is highly credited and has training in autism behavioral interventions. With all of these specialties united under one roof, patients know that Dr. Aromin and the Resolve Center’s staff are well equipped to help them through their tough times. “We have licensed social workers on staff who have significant training in addictions for both adult and child,” explains Dr. Aromin, who, along with his staff, tailors assessments and therapy approaches to the individual patient, resulting in highly effective care. Depending on the situation, therapy can be in an individual or group/family setting. “In regards to psychiatric management of childhood conditions complicated by drug use or medical problems, those are much better assessed by a medical doctor trained to address both,” he continues. “As a physician, I am trained to assess the need for medication and its management. This includes working with your doctors to coordinate your treatment when you have other medical illnesses or need specialty consultations,” explains Dr. Aromin, who has completed fellowships at such prestigious New York City hospitals as Columbia Presbyterian, Bellevue Hospital/NYU and Beth Israel. It’s not easy to decide to seek treatment for mental health issues, but there are some red flags to watch out for, he says. When should you seek psychiatric treatment? “When there are very concerning conditions, especially in children,” explains Dr. Aromin—“for example, any kind of worsening depression that doesn’t go away, or severe

behavioral difficulties. For kids, this can include problems at school that don’t improve with help from school counseling, and suicidal behaviors.” As he also has training in treating children with autistic disorders, Dr. Aromin stresses the importance of having young children evaluated between the ages of 18 and 36 months, some even younger when their milestones are not at par, especially those involving delayed speech, limited activities and odd social interaction with others including lack of eye contact. A primary care physician, he explains, can usually pick this, up during routine examinations. “This window is important as treatment only becomes meaningful if provided around these times,” Dr. Aromin says. “A good comprehensive assessment by a board-certified child psychiatrist, neurologist or a developmental pediatrician will help determine which level of treatment will be most effective.” Rating scales and questionnaires serve to increase the diagnosis. The psychiatrist continues his good work outside of private practice, too – he is the Medical Director for the Child/Adolescent Partial Hospital Programs and Adolescent MICA at Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth.

DIAMOND MINDS By Barry Farber
THREE STRIKES DON’T COUNT YOU OUT
Barry Farber
PART 1
B
aseball player Ed Hearn played in 49 games and hit .265 as a backup catcher. He was the only professional baseball player to win A ball, AA ball, AAA ball, and Major league championships in four consecutive years with the same franchise.
…if ever there was a story about finding the positives that come out of terrible adversity, it is Ed Hearn’s. He was a guest on my radio program and over the years has become a mentor and a friend. He always reminds me how lucky we are to be alive and have the opportunity to serve others because if ever there was a story about finding the positives that come out of terrible adversity, it is Ed Hearn’s. In 1986, Hearn was on the New York Mets world champion baseball
team and he thought all his dreams had come true. The following spring, he was traded to the Kansas City Royals for pitcher David Cone. Two weeks into his Kansas City season, he sustained a shoulder injury that required total reconstructive surgery and three years to battle. By 1991, Hearn realized that his baseball career was over. But that’s not all. Three months after he left baseball he was diagnosed with three serious health problems: hypo gamma globulin anemia, which requires a monthly $3000 IV treatment; sleep apnea, which now requires he sleep attached to a breathing machine each night; and most serious of all, he needed an immediate kidney transplant. His monthly medication bill since 1992 has been $40,000 and will continue for the rest of his life. One day in 1993, Hearn reached his lowest point. He went down to the basement of his home, put a bullet in a .357 magnum, and contemplated suicide. He eventually realized that “deep deep down” he was not a quitter, and put down the gun… See the October issue to read about the three factors that turned things around for Hearn.

Simple Back to School Snacking Break out of the old back to school routine with a few simple snacking tips
(Family Features)
T
he start of a school year—with new classes, new teachers and new friends—can be an exhilarating time for kids. With all the things you need to get before their new educational adventure begins, it’s easy to overlook the lunchtime options you serve your kids. Make the most of this exciting time and break out of the old back to school routine with a few simple snacking tips. Serving up these healthy snacking solutions will bring color and enjoyment to an otherwise drab lunch. Here are a few ways to pack some fun back into lunch: Pack a Bento Box – These convenient, easy-to-carry food containers are perfect for lunchtime. The compartments make packing different foods simple, while keeping flavors and textures separate. Pack in hummus along with some dippers, such as pretzels, sliced fruit and veggies for healthy eating on-the-go. Choose Hummus – Cream-based dips and dressings are loaded with sodium, fat and preservatives. Instead, choose hummus—the healthy alternative that kids crave. They’ll have a dipping party when you pack it with carrots, broccoli, celery and pita bread. After-School Noshes – Keep the fun, flavorful food options on hand for after-class, as well. When they’re busy doing homework or cramming for the exam, your kids will love the Mediterranean twist on these classic kid-friendly recipes, like this recipe for Grilled Vegetable Pita Pizza. Try New Condiments – When it comes to dressing up sandwiches and wraps, go beyond the ordinary mustard and mayo routine. Your kids will love exploring new flavor combinations, especially when you choose their favorites. Spread delicious Sabra Hummus on whole grain bread and fill with their favorite sandwich fixings for a tasty variation on a lunchtime classic. For more recipes and information on Sabra Hummus, visit www.sabra.com.
