Betty was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2013 and decided to undergo bilateral mastectomies and quit smoking promptly. Her chemotherapy was delayed as she helped her father battle colon cancer, and was delayed even further when she developed a rare infection and needed her two expanders removed. The chemotherapy that she underwent caused a significant amount of damage to her mouth, which made her need dental work. The Silverstrom Group has developed a plan to transform Betty’s smile and provide a foundation of gum and bone support that will eliminate disease. With their help, Betty will have a gorgeous smile and renewed self-esteem.

“At the origin of the profession, Architects were builders. They managed every aspect of the construction and were craftsman themselves chiseling stone and carving mantels. This is the way it was then, and with WESKetch, the way it is now,” says Kaufman. The company also has a reason for their extraordinary name—“NJ Law requires that Architectural firms have the word Architecture or the name of the Principal in the business name. The firms’ name, WESKetch, is derived from the Founder & Principal, William Emil Schmidt Kaufman, whose initials are W.E.S.K, he then added “etch” which translates to “we sketch.” WESKetch is located at 1932 Long Hill Road in Millington, New Jersey.

6th Annual Back 2 School Store A Huge Success By Angela Sabarese, Photos Courtesy of NCJW/Essex
W
ith the end of summer comes the annual necessity for parents to begin shopping for new school supplies, clothing and other items to ensure their children are prepared for the next step in their educational careers. Unfortunately, this inevitable reality can become a source of stress and anxiety for economically disadvantaged families. Many children must begin their new school year without the clothes, school supplies or personal care necessities that would provide them with increased selfesteem and confidence. However, thanks to the National Council of Jewish Women, Essex County Section (NCJW/Essex), hundreds of economically disadvantaged children will start their school year with a smile, new clothes and new supplies—all for free. On August 3, NCJW/Essex held its 6th Annual Back 2 School Store (B2SS), where over 650 children participated in a one-day
event to shop in a 4,000- squarefoot department store setting donated by Congregation B’Nai Shalom. The event was not open to the public; the children were identified by 35 local agencies that participate in the program. When the children enter the store, the fun really begins as each child picks out a new full outfit, complete with a shirt, A young pants, undergarments and a shopper tries pair of sneakers and socks. Each on his new child also chooses a winter coat, winter coat hat and gloves. “Clothes! I get new clothes too?!” exclaimed Volunteer Erica one young girl as she walked into the Silverman of store with a huge grin. The children Livingston were encouraged to make their own with shopper selections and try them on in dressing Tommy rooms set up just for them.

During the hour the children had with their personal shoppers, their parents or guardians had the chance to take advantage of free health screenings, learn about healthcare, career and educational opportunities. “We first heard about the idea of a Back 2 School Store from the St. Louis section of NCJW and we thought it was a terrific way to engage our volunteers in something incredibly worthwhile,” said Cathy Silverman, Executive Director of NCJW/Essex. “Knowing the community that we live in, we felt that the Back 2 School Store could reach a broader population, making a difference for those in need in suburban Essex County as well as others in more urban parts of the county. Each time I see the faces of the children at the Back 2 School Store, I know that this program is improving the lives of women, children and families in immeasurabale ways.” Since its start in 2009, B2SS has benefited over 2,300 children and has received help from over 1,800 volunteers. Volunteers were
September 2014
able to get to know many amazing children while making an enormous difference in their lives. “It was wonderful to see the children light up, given an opportunity they never imagined they could have in their circumstances,” said Leslie Lavinthal, a volunteer personal shopper and committee co-chair. “I was overwhelmed by what a rewarding and heartwarming experience it was to volunteer at this amazing event.” NCJW/Essex, founded in 1912, uses volunteerism and activism inspired by Jewish values in order to make a difference in the community, particularly for women, children and families. The organization has hundreds of active volunteers who help to fund their projects and work hands-on to assist hundreds of people in need in the Essex County area.

Stress-Free Home Renovation Becomes a Reality
E
ver see a sleek new kitchen or bath in a magazine and think, “What would it be like to have that in my home?” When you’re ready to bring that vision to life, call Aspen Kitchen & Bath, where the courteous, professional staff of designers and contractors is ready and willing to help clients every step of the way, from planning to execution. The Verona showroom, open Tuesday through Saturday, offers one-stop shopping and design expertise for customers’ projects. “We give our customers more than they expect and leave them with nicest bath or kitchen on the block,” boasts Daniel Knapik, who owns Aspen Kitchen & Bath with partner Vincent Corbo. “They get the highest-quality work for the best price.” Customers who enter the Verona showroom find an array of kitchen and bath displays, with options from such high-quality cabinetry lines as Fieldstone Cabinetry, Plain & Fancy, Bertch Cabinetry and Designers’ Choice to beautiful fixtures from Kohler and premium hardware. Moreover, the array of wood species available for cabinets is amazing. “We carry every one imaginable,” says Knapik. “It’s limitless what these cabinetry companies can produce.” Knapik explains the catalyst for opening the showroom was customers’ horror stories about overpriced, incorrectly sized cabinets ordered through other retailers, delaying renovations and making an already stressful process even more difficult. Instead, potential clients experience the ease of speaking with one of Aspen’s expert kitchen and bath designers, who work with them every step of the way. “The designer goes out to the customer’s house the first time, gets an idea of what they’re looking for, their hopes and dreams,” explains Knapik. “Then we put together a
Daniel Knapik and Vincent Corbo
preliminary price quote, and if everyone’s happy, we move on to the actual design process.” That process includes choosing cabinet doors, wood types, granite, tile, knobs and pulls, sinks and faucets. Once the client selects all of the desired features and sorts out the fine details with the designer, it’s time to move on to demolition and, most exciting, the renovation stage. “Our employees are vetted, licensed and insured, and all have 20 years of experience,” Knapik says, adding that Aspen sticks to a strict timeline for each project. “We go above and beyond what a normal contractor does and always beat our customers’ expectations of quality of work. We always leave the job site neat and orderly, and cleaner than we started.” Most of Aspen Kitchen & Bath’s business comes through word of mouth, which is a testament to the unmatched craftsmanship and customer service the business offers to its customers. They have been doing construction in the Essex county area for over 22 years and are now expanding into the Somerset county area. Going the extra mile on every job leads to happy customers. “We’re very accessible,” explains Knapik. “Our clients can reach someone by phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Ensure Your Student Athletes Are Ready for the Season
F
or many kids, playing sports is an important part of growing up, and that’s a good thing. Sports are a great way for children and adolescents to develop lifelong exercise habits, build relationships, and learn teamwork.
PROTECT YOUR HEAD Because young athletes’ brains are still developing, it’s important to take head injuries seriously. Adolescent concussions can cause long-term brain injury. If your young athlete sustains a concussion, he or she should be evaluated by a physician and receive medical clearance before returning to play. While
“Parents can play a vital role in ensuring young athletes train and condition properly,” says Dr. James M. Perrin, 2014 president of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). “From staying hydrated to wearing safety gear, kids may need periodic reminders.” Here are ways to help your child avoid common sports hazards: CONDITION Athletes will reduce their risk of injury by strengthening muscles to protect vulnerable ligaments. This is especially important in certain sports—including soccer, football, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics and lacrosse—in which athletes are prone to injuring their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which provides stability to the knee.
Athletes will reduce their risk of injury by strengthening muscles to protect vulnerable ligaments.
Girls need to be especially careful, according to statistics. Adolescent girls are four to eight times more likely to suffer ACL injuries than boys, according to the AAP. Neuromuscular training programs that strengthen hips, the core muscles and hamstrings can significantly reduce one’s risk for injury. This training will help athletes improve their form and have a greater awareness of how to safely pivot, jump and land. STAY HYDRATED Water is the best way for kids to stay hydrated while playing or exercising. Sports and energy drinks are heavily marketed to children and adolescents, but in most cases kids don’t need them—and some of these products contain ingredients that could be harmful to children. Sports drinks which contain carbohydrates and electrolytes, can be helpful for young athletes engaged in prolonged, vigorous exercise, but in most cases they’re unnecessary. Plain water is usually best, as sports drinks contain extra calories and sugar. Energy drinks, which contain stimulants like caffeine, are not healthy for children or teens, according to the AAP. Read the label to know exactly what you’re giving your child. When in doubt, stick to water.

concussion symptoms usually resolve in seven to 10 days, some athletes may take weeks or months to recover, and some students may need accommodations at school during this recovery. DON’T OVERDO IT The most common type of sports injury is from overuse. Ignoring pain can worsen the injury and cause long-term damage. “The best way for parents to prevent overuse injuries is to pay attention to their child’s training schedule,” Perrin says. Limit your child to a single sport or team per season, and the training schedule to no more than five days per week. Alternating sports can help avoid burnout. While sports are an important part of childhood with critical health benefits, parents, coaches and athletes should work together to make sure children participate safely. —Statepoint

Prostate & Ovarian Cancers An Overview of Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment By Julie Jacobs
M
an or woman, none of us wants to hear the C-word. Awareness plays a big part in both prevention and favorable outcomes, so here we share a primer about prostate and ovarian cancers.
PROSTATE CANCER
Each year more than 180,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fortunately, the disease often grows slowly, is detected early before causing significant harm, and has a five-year survival rate of 100% when it is confined to the prostate. Still, prostate cancer can spread when left untreated, which is why regular screenings are important. Screening typically involves a rectal exam and a blood test that measures the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein produced by cells in the prostate. More than The American Cancer Society recom180,000 men are mends an annual screening beginning at age 50, or age 40 if you are African diagnosed with American or have other risk factors prostate cancer such as a family history of the disease. every year. Both your physical exam and PSA level may warrant further evaluation, perhaps via a tissue biopsy. Symptoms such as frequent or difficult urination, painful urination or ejaculation, blood in the urine or semen, and/or pain or stiffness in the hips, back or thighs also may indicate a prostate problem. If you experience any of these symptoms, bring them to the attention of your doctor. Prostate cancer is highly treatable when found in its earliest stages. If it is found, imaging tests (ultrasound, CT or MRI) may help establish if the cancer has spread. Treatment may call for surgery to remove the cancer or the entire prostate, as well as chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. In external beam radiation, pinpoint beams target and kill cancer cells; in brachytherapy, radioactive pellets are inserted directly into the prostate. Other treatment options include hormone therapy to shrink the cancer or slow its growth and cryotherapy to eradicate cancer cells by freezing them. There is even a vaccine that uses the body’s own immune cells to treat advanced prostate cancer. With erectile dysfunction as a side effect of many current treatments, researchers are continually developing and studying new approaches, from nerve repair during surgery to more precise radiation. The use of a high-intensity focused ultrasound to destroy cancer cells with heat is also being studied. On the prevention side, researchers are examining the genetics of prostate cancer to better understand risk and cell behavior and in turn design new drugs to avert the disease.
OVARIAN CANCER
According to the American Cancer Society, more than 22,000 cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed this year. While ovarian cancer may not be as prevalent as prostate cancer, it is more difficult to catch early and therefore much harder to treat. Just 19% of cases are found in the earliest stage, for which the five-year survival rate tops 90%. Much of the reason for late detection lies with the subtle symptoms associated with ovarian cancer, which may be why it is called “the silent killer.� Consult with your physician if you experience bloating, abdominal or pelvic pain, a full feeling, and urination or gastrointestinal problems for more than three weeks. Other symptoms More than 2,000 to note are extreme fatigue and back ache. You might want to discuss your women are chances for developing ovarian cancer diagnosed with with your doctor, particularly if you ovarian cancer have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer and may carry the BRCA1 or every year. BRCA2 genes. Women who are over 55, obese, were never pregnant, take hormone replacement therapy and/or have a personal history of cancer face a higher risk as well. Abdominal and pelvic exams may lead to an ultrasound or a biopsy for a definitive diagnosis. You may also undergo a special blood test that measures the level of CA-125, a protein found more frequently in ovarian cancer cells than in normal cells. Treatment depends largely on the stage of the disease and can involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy or a combination of approaches. The good news is that researchers are developing new chemotherapy drugs, studying the use of targeted substances that spare normal tissue, and creating antibodies to specifically fight ovarian cancer cells. They are also establishing a national blood and tissue bank with samples from ovarian cancer patients that might enable enhanced screening methods for earlier detection. Researchers are also looking deeper into genetics as a means toward better preventive measures. What can you do to help keep your prostate or ovaries healthy? Though you may not have control over factors like age or family history, you can follow a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables and whole grains and limit your intake of alcohol, high-fat foods and processed meats. And you can go for regular screenings when the time comes.

DIAMOND MINDS By Barry Farber
Finding Passion for What You Do Finding one’s passion is like mining for gemstones; it takes a lot of exploration to discover a rough stone that must be cut, shaped and faceted in order to reveal its brilliance and beauty. When a beautifully cut, multifaceted diamond is held up to the light, it works as a prism. The light is disbursed and broken up into the spectral colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. Without the facets, the stone would have no “fire.” This fire, caused by the facets, is what makes the diamond so special and so valued. People, too, enhance their value and release their inner fire, or passion, when they become multifaceted. This is not to say that a person must be a Jack or Jill of all trades. It means that they must expose themselves to as much as possible, in as many areas as possible. It means keeping themselves open to new experiences, and it means having a respect and a passion for learning itself. Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey is a prime example of how a passion for learning can lead to success. Raised in a small town in Missouri where his father was a banker, Bradley was always interested in learning. In junior high, he would often study into the early morning hours. His mother was determined that he would be a well-rounded “gentleman.” She arranged for him to learn how to play the trumpet, the French horn
and the piano, sent him for swimming and golf lessons and saw that he learned how to ride a horse, how to type and how to box. Bradley feels that being exposed to so many different things throughout his childhood helped him to find his niche. He was able to try many different things and eliminate those areas in which he had little talent. An All-American at Princeton, Bradley went on to become an Olympic gold medalist as captain of the 1964 U.S. basketball team. He attended Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar, played pro basketball (including two NBA championships) and ran for the U.S. Senate in 1977. According to a Rolling Stone article, Bradley’s first action as Senator-elect was to poll “every knowledgeable source he could find and ask: ‘What does it take to do the job – very well?’” In this as in everything he undertakes, Bradley had two goals: to learn everything there was to learn about a particular endeavor—whether it was the sport of basketball or the game of politics–and then to do it extremely well.
Barry Farber Before I met Senator Bradley, I was amazed by all his accomplishments. During our meeting, I discovered that he was down earth, genuine and giving. I am now not only amazed at his accomplishments, I am also amazed at the person he has become as a result of his accomplishments. “You must have a certain pride in your work and your ability to do something well,” says Bradley—but for him, the greatest stimulation is the learning itself. “There is a great enjoyment in learning more about the world around you,” he says. “Learn more about how a city functions, or what goes into the defense budget, or how you actually organize a computer system or business. Learning how to do something has a real satisfaction built into it.” Everyone is capable of making a difference and achieving success—but it is the desire to learn and to keep the fire within oneself ever burning that makes an individual capable of accomplishing the discovery of their inner passions.
Barry Farber consults with corporations, professional athletes and entertainers to help them market their products and land more deals. He is the best-selling author of 12 books translated into 25 foreign languages with over one million copies sold. His latest book is Success Secrets of Sales Superstars (Entrepreneur Press). You can see him on QVC selling unique and innovative inventions. He is a featured guest on CNN, Fox, CNBC and hosted over 400 Radio and Television shows in New York City, Washington and on the Comcast Television Network.
