“In the past 16 years of specializing in women’s health care, I have developed a very individualized approach to servicing my patients. My intention is to provide you with the very best medical service!”

Minimally Invasive ROBOTIC SURGERY Less Scarring. Faster Recovery. When medication and noninvasive procedures are unable to relieve symptoms, robotic surgery is an effective, minimally invasive treatment alternative for a range of gynecologic conditions. These include, but are not limited to uterine fbroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse and menorrhagia or excessive bleeding. At Advanced Women’s Healthcare, PA, we seek to provide the highest level of care through our highly skilled health care professionals and state of the art technologies. We are devoted to addressing the individual needs and demands of patients in a warm and caring environment. Our goal is to offer patient centered medical care based on mutual trust and communication.

Ulas Bozdogan, M.D., FACOG • Da Vinci Robotic Surgery, Obstetrics And Gynecology • A Fellow of American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Bozdogan is a member of the Minimally Invasive Robotic Association, American Association of Gynecology Laparoscopists.

If you’re suffering from back pain, don’t despair. Dr. Alfred Gigante, a Chiropractic Physician, has dedicated the last 25 years to specializing in the treatment of low back pain and low back related leg pain, commonly known as sciatica. With today’s new non-force techniques, many of which were developed by Dr. Gigante, along with laser, spinal decompression, ultrasound, and electro therapies, he states, “the probability of relief is better than ever for all back patients even those considering surgery”. Dr. Gigante, who has lectured internationally on relief care adds, "our goal is simple, to get patients out of pain as quickly as possible”. “In fact, eight out of ten of all our new patients experience a significant improvement after their very first visit." If you are suffering from low back pain and/or sciatica, give The Back Pain Center a call. If you are not sure if your problem requires chiropractic, physical therapy, medications or even possibly surgery, then call and ask for a no-charge consultation with Dr. Gigante. Together you can determine the right course of action for your condition. The Back Pain Center was founded by Dr. Gigante in 1995, as the first team of Chiropractors, Physical Therapists and Pain Management Doctors, to dedicate their skills specifically to the treatment of low back pain and low back related leg pain. The Back Pain Center works with most insurance companies.

MARVIN FIBERGLASS

WINDOWS

INFINITY FIBERGLASS WINDOWS by Marvin are the perfect window to add both elegance and energy efficiency to your home. As the world’s leading wood window manufacturer, Marvin has been producing premium quality windows for custom homes and discerning homeowners for over 100 years. Over the last 20 years, they have also lead the way when it comes to composite windows. Marvin’s Ultrex Fiberglass is 8x stronger than vinyl, and unlike wood windows, fiberglass windows are non-porous so they resist rot and moisture, allowing for a lifetime of maintenancefree performance. The fiberglass window frame is ideal for replacement windows because its strength allows for a thinner frame giving you industry-best glass viewing space. In addition, fiberglass is designed to expand and contract at virtually the same rate as glass giving it the lowest seal failure rate of any window on the market. With a limited lifetime warranty, this window outperforms the big-name competition at a price that is better too. Renew your confidence in what a replacement window should be! www.MarvinWindowNj.com

PUPPY lOve

Pick a single pup? This month, given the wealth of cuddly canine talent in Bergen, we just couldn’t do it. Meet the four creatures who stole our hearts. Dog: Chaz, 6½ years old, Red Heeler Australian Cattle Dog Owner: Meredith Fischetto of Oakland

Lovable Chaz was rescued by the RamapoBergen Animal Refuge Inc. in Oakland the day he was scheduled to be put down by a kill shelter. “RBARI saved Chaz, which gave me the chance to save him,” says Meredith. “I knew from our very frst ‘meet and greet’ that he was meant to be my boy.” Chaz lives with Meredith and her family at Winter Haven Equestrian Center, where his favorite activities include jumping over the horse jumps, playing tug-of-war with socks, tearing up cardboard boxes and snuggling with both the two-legged and four-legged members of his family.

If you’ve always wanted to work with an interior designer but thought it would break your budget, it’s time to Spruce It Up! This designer consultation program allows you to get expert advice from an interior designer for an affordable price, and your fee is donated to a worthy cause, Habitat for Humanity. The New Jersey Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) will pair you with a designer who can offer guidance and direction on how to rethink and remake the look of your home or business. The fee for the one- or two-hour consultation is $150 per hour, which goes directly to the Habitat for Humanity location of your choice. (There are 24 in New Jersey.) Through Spruce It Up!, the ASID chapter raised almost $13,000 for Habitat for Humanity last year. Contact ASID by October 15 and request a Spruce It Up! consultation; call 732.787.5981 or email spruceitup@asidnj.org.

Dogs: Lulu (left), 5 years old, and Charlie, 2 years old, both Havanese Owners: Paul and Marilyn Agner of Tenafy

After the couple became empty nesters about 10 years ago, Marilyn convinced her reluctant husband to get a small dog…and they ended up with two! “If I were to win the lottery tomorrow, I would get two more,” says Marilyn. “This is an absolutely wonderful breed.” Even though Lulu and Charlie are half siblings, the pups couldn’t be more different. While Lulu loves lounging, Ridgewood recently welcomed two new restaurants with owners you may recognize. “Charlie is like the little boy sitting behind you in n fINca—THe eSTaTe of Small PlaTeS: Marcelo Czernizer, who owns Cravings frst grade—he chases Lulu, pulls her tail, licks her Tapas Bistro on Wilsey Square, wanted to create a menu that featured not only Spanish ears and really enjoys annoying her,” she says. “It’s cuisine, but Asian and American favors as well. The restaurant is open for dinner Tuesgood; his antics help keep Lulu young.” day through Sunday and now for lunch on Friday and Saturday. 20 e. ridgewood Ave.,

Dog: Jasper, 13 years old, Shih Tzu Owner: Janet Capone of Rutherford

“The best-looking senior citizen in New Jersey” is how Janet sums up gentle Jasper, who came from a breeder in Kentucky. “I knew he was meant for me when I learned that we shared the same birthday.” The friendly pup enjoys playing with other animals, “but most of all loves hanging out with his ‘mom.’”

BERgEN brewsT

After spending two years stationed in germany with the U.S. Army, where he came to appreciate many different styles of beer, Hasbrouck Heights native Pete Reuther decided his home state could use an infusion of quality suds. So he and a high school buddy, Joe delcalzo, bought a home brewing kit and soon began spending most of their free time making beer. This past may, the friends turned their hobby into a career, opening brix City brewing in Little Ferry. (It’s the only production brewery in Bergen County, even though its name is a tip of the hat to Newark’s storied beer heritage.) Brews Willis American IPA, gloria Belgian Blonde Ale and Porter Authority Porter are just a few of the full-favored beers the young guys brew. You can try them at area haunts like dog & Cask in Rochelle Park, The Twisted Elm in Elmwood Park, The Offce Beer Bar & grill in Ridgewood and The Heights Bar & grill in Hasbrouck Heights. (go to brixcitybrewing.com for a complete list.) Or head over to Little Ferry for a tasting at Brix City; they’re typically held Thursday through Sunday. Snag a seat at the 30-foot-long bar or at one of the picnic tables. And be sure to “BYOF”—bring your own food. brix City brewing, 4 Alsan Way, Little Ferry, 201.440.0865; brixcitybrewing.com

Get your art on

From the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, the tiny town of Leonia was a noted art colony— home to more than 90 professional photographers, writers, actors and painters. Later, luminaries Sammy davis Jr., Alan Alda and Pat Boone put down roots here. And today the town of 9,000 residents boasts a theater company, a chamber music society and a sculpture garden—one of only two in Bergen County. The erika and David boyd sculpture Garden showcases a rotating display of outdoor public art on loan from national and international artists. One popular current installation is the seven-foottall “Crayons” by acclaimed artist Richard Pitts, who delivered and installed the sculpture himself. Barbara mitrani, president of the nonproft volunteer organization Sculpture for Leonia, explains that another favorite in recent years has been Adrian Landon’s steel sculptures of galloping horses. Whenever Landon’s pieces left the rotation, the community missed them, she says. So Sculpture for Leonia asked the artist to create a special sculpture that the town could keep on display year round. Four generous residents donated $19,000 to make it possible. On September 19, those donors will be honored and the sculpture “grand Cheval de Leonia” will be unveiled. It will be installed on the lawn of the United methodist Church across from the sculpture garden. Once the “Crayons” are gone next spring, the horse will permanently occupy the spot where they are now.

Here the kids pose in Old Town Scottsdale with a recent issue of Bergen Health & Life. “We had a great time exploring downtown, which is flled with shops, restaurants and art galleries,” says Bialkowski. “But the highlight of the trip was horseback riding in Tonto National Forest. The desert landscape, dotted with so many different types of cacti, was breathtaking. The diamondback rattlesnake that was just a few feet away from us—not so much.” The next time you hit the road, take the latest issue of Bergen Health & Life with you.

Bugs to

Beware

Your kids are back in school. so are a half-dozen nastY little creatures just waiting to make them cough, sniffle and sneeze.

auTumn’S reTurn meanS School-age chIldren are back To readIn’, writin’, ’rithmetic and—rhinovirus? yes! They may not be on the curriculum, but the germs that spread the common cold, infuenza and other maladies do attend regularly where kids congregate. Technically, these “bugs” are viruses. They can cause a cold, a case of fu—or even a more serious illness that lands a child in the hospital. and while you don’t need to put them under a microscope for scientifc study, you do need to teach your kids to steer clear of them: to wash their hands regularly, not to use the same cups or utensils as other children, and to be mindful of the surfaces—counters, doorknobs, etc.—that many little hands touch. “aside from immunizations and fu vaccines, hand washing is the best protection,” says Julia a. piwoz, m.d., chief of the Section of pediatric Infectious diseases at Joseph m. Sanzari children’s hospital at hackensackumc. “If you’ve got a nail biter, try to break him or her of that habit. and caution children about putting their fngers in their mouths, ears and noses—those are exactly the places where a virus can enter.” dr. piwoz offers a way to put the lesson for younger kids: “It’s nice to share, but not germs.”

The bugS

influenza a

rhinovirus

Can Cause: The flu

Can Cause: common cold There are 99 known rhinoviruses and they’re a threat year-round—including when kids reconvene each autumn and unwittingly share “What I caught on my Summer Vacation.”

parainfluenza

influenza B

Can Cause: coldS and croup all four types of parainfuenza viruses can cause upper or lower respiratory infections, sometimes just a runny nose but other times croup, bronchiolitis, bronchitis and pneumonia.

respiratory synCytial virus (rsv) Can Cause: coldS and oTher reSpIraTory InfecTIonS

at its peak, november through January, rSV is a major cause of respiratory illness in children. It’s usually a bad cold, but in kids with diseases that affect the lungs, heart or immune system, rSV can lead to more serious illnesses.

another bad guY:

each year, several strains circulate: a is the most common. Its peak activity is usually from december through february. children under 5 and those with underlying health conditions are at the greatest risk for serious complications, but even previously healthy children can become very ill. Immunization is the best protection.

Can Cause: coldS and flu flu b activity tends to peak in early spring each year. It produces the same symptoms as fu a, but generally does not cause nearly as many cases. again, immunization is the recommended safeguard.

human metapneumovirus (hmpv)

Can Cause: upper and loWer reSpIraTory TracT InfecTIonS, IncludIng coldS, pneumonIa or bronchITIS Identifed in 2001, this bug has likely been causing respiratory illnesses for at least 50 years worldwide. most people have mild symptoms, while some may develop wheezing, trouble breathing, hoarseness, cough, pneumonia and an asthma fare-up. It can be more serious in children with weak immune systems.

besides the viruses described on this page, bacteria-caused streptococcus and staphylococcus infections also threaten to make children sick. “most kids are going to get strep about once a school year,” says Julia a. piwoz, m.d., chief of the Section of pediatric Infectious diseases at Joseph m. Sanzari children’s hospital at hackensackumc. bacterial infections can become serious if untreated, but in many cases antibiotics can get kids back to school in 24 hours if there are no complications.

Pack healthy! 5 back-to-school tips for nutritious lunches your kids will actually eat.

Nobody says it’s easy. GettiNG your child to “eat healthy” can be a challenge even at your dinner table. Packing a lunch to be consumed in the relative freedom of the school cafeteria—where it’s tempting to toss away unwanted items or trade them for a cupcake—can seem a herculean task. but a few good ideas may help:

fer sivitz, M.d., a pediatric endocrinologist at Joseph M. sanzari children’s hospital at hackensackuMc, who is medical director of the hospital’s healthy futures Program for children ages 8 to 18. “Get them more engaged in the preparation—they like it when it’s their idea,” she counsels. “take them to the store to help pick what they might enjoy. or say, ‘let’s look for recipes we can make.’”

Make it fuN. “Pack a lunch that makes your child smile,” says suzanne Peiffer, r.d., a registered dietitian at the Valley hospital in ridgewood. “be creative. cut a sandwich or raw carrots into interesting shapes, for example, or put a surprise or a note in the lunch box.” such touches may make the lunches more apt to be eaten—and will also make them less humdrum for you to prepare.

aiM for balaNce. try to include a variety of foods and make sure all the main food groups are represented, says Peiffer. also, encourage children to try foods that are new to them. but be realistic here: youngsters who spurn kale at dinnertime are a sure bet to deep-six it at school. Warns Peiffer: “a child may need to be exposed to something six or eight times before he or she will begin to like it. Phase in new foods gradually.”

keeP a list of sMart choices. carrot sticks and celery stalks can get boring fast. so here are some other ideas for keeping things lively and varied: low-fat or Greek yogurt, hummus, a hard-boiled egg, nuts, popcorn cakes and trail mix (sans peanuts, depending on your school’s regulations). Many pre-packaged lunches now have a dip for vegetables. another dip idea: almond butter. “kids love to dip,” says dr. sivitz. how about homemade roll-ups? Wrap a slice of deli turkey around string cheese. to expand your list, ask other parents for ideas, and share yours with them.

Model healthy eatiNG. More than they may realize, your children will end up being infuenced by what they see you doing. so it’s not just a matter of what you pack—and what you preach. “be mindful of the message you’re sending with your own choices,” says dr. sivitz. if your children routinely see you making prudent food selections for yourself, they’ll be more likely to carry these good habits out into the wider world.

PETEr MAx: the man behind the icon

Ever since the 1960s, when he and his work appeared on the cover of Life magazine, Peter Max has dazzled the public with his distinctinvely colorful and whimsical art. He has painted six U.S. presidents, music idols, a World’s Fair mural and a super jet. His appeal, art historian Malcolm Genet has noted, “spans all national demographics and has done so for several generations.” Here, the artist talks to Bergen Health & Life about his craft, his recipe for a balanced life and what he can’t live without. By Rita GuaRna When did you know that art was to be your life’s work? For me it was never work. It was born of a playfulness. My father was a good artist, and he always made it playful for me. My mother had a fair for fashion. There was a playfulness in her too as she dressed in such beautiful colors. We’d moved to Shanghai when I was a year old. And by the time I was three, my parents noticed I liked to draw so they hired the daughter of a local artist. Her name was Umba. She didn’t speak English, and I didn’t speak a word of Chinese, but she sat with me constantly. She’d cut things out of paper and would have colored pencils and paints and brushes, and she got me to use those tools, and I loved it. We’d draw this and that. And within a month or two, we had words in common, and I started drawing nonstop. The nice thing was that she was a good artist. Have you ever seen her again? Is she still living? I don’t know where in the world she is. I was in China recently, and two months before I got there I hired a very big public relations frm. I gave them her name and a couple of old pictures of us. When I arrived, those pictures were in newspapers all over China. But we never found her. I was there for two weeks, always

septembeR 2015

BERG.petermax.02.indd 22

hoping that one day she would come by, and I would hug her and kiss her. Where in the world is she? Maybe your story will bring her back. Any other early training? When I was maybe 11, we moved from China to Israel. It was there that my parents were told by different teachers that I was talented and that they should get me a private art teacher. So they did. He was an artist, maybe 20 or 22 years old, and he had a fair for color combinations. He was an amazing color expressionist painter

who was teaching little kids. From him, I learned how to mix paints; I learned how to use the brush; I learned how to color with colored pencils on colored paper. But the best part was that he taught me how to combine colors: like this red with that red looks nice against yellow, or this blue and this green look good against gray. Having spent your early years in other countries, do you feel fully at home in the U.S.? I’m more American now than anybody I’ve ever met in the United States. I fell in love with Americans long before coming here. The frst time I met Americans was when soldiers were visiting Shanghai. These G.I. Joes were all over the streets, and they were the most playful people I’d met. One day I was walking with a friend from school, and people were joyfully yelling in the streets. There were rickshaws all over, and this American soldier had taken off his shoes and was running the rickshaw while the rickshaw guy was sitting in the thing smoking a cigar. It was so genuine, so cool, so groovy. It was amazing. And in that moment, I just fell in love with these people, these Americans. Were there other infuences? My friend’s father owned two small movie theaters in Shanghai, and they started playing

American flms. And my friend’s father would let me go in free every day. My mother was smart enough and sweet enough to allow me to go to the movies every day after school. I became a hippie American kid. When you fnally came to New York, to Brooklyn, in fact, was it what you expected? It was so cool to be in the United States, you have no idea. The movies, the kids, everybody chewing gum. It felt like home, and I became this cool hippie artist. I learned all about colors, started collecting rock ’n’ roll music. So I’m this hippie with music and painting in my heart, and loving America like you couldn’t imagine. What’s been your most exciting artistic moment? I live for the creative moment, being in the middle of it. So they are all exciting. When that moment starts, it could be 15 seconds long, it

september 2015

BERG.petermax.02.indd 24

could be a minute long, it could be 20 minutes long. When those moments come, and the resulting creations that come from my mind, my hand, I’m in heaven. I adore every little thing that I’ve ever created. Because I created it, I know it and I love it. Have you ever wanted to go back and alter any of your pieces? No. I’m surrounded by the pieces I’ve done, and these are worlds I’ve created. They existed in my brain, and until I put them on paper, they didn’t exist anywhere else, so it’s an unbelievable feeling. When a woman gives birth to a child it’s creativity in its highest form, and that’s what these paintings are for me. What’s your recipe for a balanced life? Yoga. It’s a way of keeping your mind and your heart all in one place. That and believing that there is a higher power. Tell us something that few people know about you. I’m intuitive, and I love people. I’m a complete vegan, my wife has become vegan too. If you study my art you’ll see it’s sort of like a yoga philosophy—but dressed in Western clothes. What made you fall in love with your wife Mary? Her sweet spirit. I was with a friend, and as we were going to a café, we saw two girls across the street run into each other. They started talking, and I looked at the girl on the right and said to my friend, “You see this girl? I’m going to marry her.” And I did. What is the best advice you’ve ever been given, and from whom did you receive it? My father always told me to make everything I did like a game rather than a chore, so I

would enjoy it rather than be stressed. Instead of being told, “Here’s a pencil and some paint, let me see you make an important painting,” I was allowed to be playful. One day I wanted to paint on the wall, and he said to my mother, “Let him do it.” So I painted it, and after about two weeks, I painted on every wall. What do you have on your nightstand? A remote control; I like fipping through the channels, and I always have my phone next to me. I love talking on the telephone. Do you still collect cookie jars? No. Andy Warhol and I used to be buddies, and we’d go to little antiques stores. At one of those places, the guy had lots of cookie jars, and we each bought four. For about two months, we’d meet up and go out for cookie jars. They’re all over my studio now. I read that you have said that if you weren’t an artist, you’d be an astronomer. Why? The planets and the stars are so unique. You can spot a tiny star in the sky at night, and that star could be 10 times the size of our sun. It just fascinates me. The world is made up of trillions and trillions and trillions of gifts from God. Every little ant, every little grasshopper, every little pigeon are all gifts. But the stars are the most mysterious of them all. Your work is so whimsical, playful, vibrant. Are you ever unhappy, or angry, or depressed? Hardly ever. I live in complete fascination of how wonderful this universe is. If there’s anger out there, I stay away from it. What can you not live without? I cannot live without music; I am a music fanatic. I cannot live without color. I can’t live without my wife. And I can’t live without my new friend—you. How do you want to be remembered? However people remember me. I don’t want to alter anyone’s perception.

Te Archdiocese of Newark recognizes the benefts that pre-planning burial services ofers Catholic families. It allows more time for practical fnancial planning and personalization of how you or your loved one wishes to be memorialized for years to come.

Ivy Inn, you had us at “Maria’s feather pillow pancakes.” Seriously, with a menu laden with savory brunch items such as eggs Benedict and a BLT with pommes frites, you can’t go wrong. Experience a bit of history while you indulge in your complimentary mimosa or Bloody Mary (if you take advantage of the two-course prix fxe brunch), as the building dates back to the 1870s. The brick freplaces and refurbished horseshoe bar and oak ice box are remnants from its crazy days as a speakeasy. 2 mason Jar 219 Ramapo valley Rd., Mahwah, 201.529.2302, masonjar.com

A cup of Joe is a cup of Joe. Or is it? At Moon Doggie, the brainchild of coffee connoisseur and basset hound lover Donna Funk, the only java served is arabica specialty grade—and it comes from farms and estates that hand-pick and sort their own beans. An added bonus: Donna and her husband, Bob, roast the beans on site, ensuring that your espresso, café latte or macchiato is as fresh as it can possibly be. Got a doggie of your own at home? Be sure to pick up a homemade treat before you depart—and perhaps a pound of Dark Side of the Moon Doggie French Roast for yourself. 2 sogno Coffee House 425-429 Broadway, Westwood, 201.497.3628, caffeanello.com 3 Cool Beans international Coffee & teas 304 Kinderkamack Rd., Oradell, 201.634.1400, coolbeansnj.com

DOnuts 1 GLAzE DOnuTS 358 River Rd., new Milford, 201.483.8634, glazeartisan.com

“Mmm…donuts!” You can almost hear Bart Simpson’s catchphrase when you walk into Glaze Donuts, the creation of Jule Hazou, whose career in the food industry began at the age of seven when he worked at his parents’ grocery store in Brooklyn. What sets his donuts apart from the chain competition is their all-natural ingredient list (the strawberry frosting actually tastes like strawberries) and funky flavors like maple bacon, sea salt caramel and French toast. Traditionalists, have no fear, there are “regular” glazed and frosted varieties too. The donuts are made in small batches several times a day, so they’re always fresh. That often means, however, that your favorite flavor might be sold out. no worries. You can always pre-order. 2 Demarest farms 244 Wierimus Rd., Hillsdale, 201.666.0472, demarestfarms.com

Don’t let the word “taverna” fool you. This sleek, modern restaurant has attracted both urban and suburban foodies since its inception in 2006—thanks, in large part, to Alex Gorant.

Choose from inventive small or large plates and more than 250 sommelier-chosen Greek wines to pair with your meal. Soaring ceilings, a stunning circular freplace and live music three nights a week enhance the fne-dining experience.

Ten marked trails range in length from 0.3 to 6.5 miles at Ramapo Reservation, making it an ideal choice for hikers of all levels. Newbies can take an easy stroll around Scarlet Oak Pond, climb up to MacMillan Reservoir or hike the Halifax Trail to Hawk Rock for a picture-perfect panorama of the suburbs. More seasoned hikers will appreciate that the trails here connect with those in Ringwood State Park, Ramapo Mountain State Forest and Camp Glen Gray, making possible a wide variety of challenging day-long hikes.

nightlife

Don’t let the time-warp exterior stop you. For more than two decades, this family-owned bar and grill has been satisfying Bergenites with some seriously delicious fresh seafood (try the soft shell crabs), a lively bar with corresponding grub and most important, live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Our favorite part? There’s never a cover charge. Oh, and the oysters are only $1. Seriously.

power food

crave that crunchy

cauliflower c ul flow

broccoli’s bright cousin is ready for its shining hour. chances ar e you’ve been munching cauliflower at salad bars for years without fully appreciating this super food. It’s a pleasant-tasting, versatile veggie that’s low in calories—just 29 per cup—and full of vitamins and minerals. Caulifower belongs to the species Brassica oleracea along with broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens and kale. And yes, whether munched from a salad plate or served as a side dish, it’s familiar. But as the British newspaper The Guardian recently declared, “It’s time for the dowdy old caulifower to have its moment to shine.” for example, restaurants now offer popular caulifower entrées, and clever cooks realize that in puréed form the veggie can be a lean, healthy pinch hitter for mashed potatoes.

POWER UP one cup of raw caulifower, says the U.S. department of Agriculture, provides 77 percent of the vitamin C you need for the day, 20 percent of the K, 11 percent of the B6 and smaller amounts of thiamin, ribofavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, calcium, iron and magnesium. It’s a good fber source too, and fber helps you feel full, control your weight and keep your digestive tract healthy. Caulifower and its cruciferous kin contain glucosinolates, which break down to form compounds that have been found to inhibit the development of cancer in rats and mice.

DID YOU KNOW? Most caulifower is white, but not all. You can often fnd green, purple and orange varieties at farmers’ markets. Chemicals account for the differences—there’s more of the pigment chlorophyll in green caulifower, for example, while the purple plant gets its hue from the antioxidant anthocyanin, also found in red cabbage. Because it has more beta carotene, orange caulifower has about 25 percent more vitamin A than the white variety, and green caulifower— sometimes called broccofower—is higher in protein than either white caulifower or broccoli.

102

BUY/STORE/SERVE white caulifower is widely available at supermarkets and farmers’ markets. Look for a frm vegetable with compact forets and crisp, fresh leaves with no sign of yellowing or wilting. (The size of the head doesn’t affect quality.) Tightly wrap your raw caulifower; it’s good in the refrigerator up to fve days. Before using, wash and remove the leaves at the base and trim the stem as needed. Caulifower can be eaten raw, roasted, grilled or lightly steamed. It’s usually broken into forets before cooking and served in soups (such as cheddar caulifower soup), salads, casseroles or with creamy sauces (say, Gruyere sauce) for dips and salads. If you’re ambitious, try preparing a caulifower pizza (look online for recipes) or the increasingly popular caulifower “steak.” (with a large knife, slice the head vertically into slabs about ¾˝ thick and sear in a skillet with olive oil, then place in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.) —michael ardizzone september 2015

a shandy Is a drInk that combines beer with a nonalcoholic beverage such as lemonade or ginger beer, and beer-loving brits have been sipping such tipples for at least a century and a half. The word is a shortened version of “shandygaff,” which is described in h.g. Wells’ 1910 comic novel The History of Mr. Polly as “two pints of beer and two bottles of ginger beer foaming in a huge round-bellied jug.” at right you’ll fnd a recipe for a shandy prepared with pumpkin ale that’s perfect for fall. cheers!

A Perfect Fit with Customized Knee Replacement.

At 73 years young, Phyllis Teats is a grandma on the go. Whether hosting a poolside picnic or cheering at her grandson’s ball games, there’s not much that keeps her on the sidelines. Even with crippling pain from severe arthritis, Phyllis hobbled to activities with ice packs, creams, wraps and other remedies—until she realized that two bad knees had diminished her enjoyment of life. “My arthritis was so bad that my bones were rubbing together and I was in constant pain. I was walking like a soldier,” said Phyllis. “I could barely stand during the day or sleep at night, and began to fear that my legs would give out.” In May 2013, Phyllis consulted with board-certifed orthopaedic surgeon Robert A. Kayal, MD, FAAOS, who recommended customized knee replacement. Unlike traditional surgery, this cutting-edge procedure uses MRI imaging and computer software to generate a 3-D model of the joint. “Just as no two personalities are alike, knee joints are unique to each individual,” said Dr. Kayal. “With this revolutionary technique, Phyllis received two new and improved joints made especially for her.” Phyllis elected to have both knees replaced, and both procedures were highly successful. She can once again bend her knees without pain, and is noticing greater balance, stability and motion. With a spring in her step, Phyllis is anticipating this summer’s baseball games, barbecues and other family activities. “I’m improving every day, and life is even better than it was before,” she said.

Meet the Bunion Expert DR. RICHARD BRAVER, a double board-certifed podiatric foot and ankle surgeon, specializes in bunion and toe surgery, and in correcting deformities of the foot and ankle. He is regarded as an expert in surgery and also, in using orthotics to help children, teens and adults who experience various conditions or pains, to allow them to walk or exercise beter. His passion for care and success in treating bunions, heel pain, Achilles, and shin pain has propelled his practice beyond most others. Dr. Braver keeps current with new technologies and receives over ffy hours of extra training each year. He performs the European side incisional approach to bunion surgery enabling patients to return to shoes far quicker than other procedures. He performs hundreds of ankle ligament and tendon surgeries using advanced techniques to ensure an early return to activity. For those with arthritic or stif big toe joints, Dr. Braver has fxed and revised hundreds of these, without fusing the big toe joint. Instead, he may use silicone type joint implants to enable the patient a more normal gait and the ability to wear all shoes and heels. Dr. Braver treats foot and ankle problems for sports teams at Fairleigh Dickinson and Montclair State Universities. He started practicing over twenty years ago, and as word-of-mouth about his practice spread, and to accommodate the many coaches and physicians who refer patients to him, ofces were opened in Fair Lawn and Riverdale, NJ. To ensure that all patients are treated in a timely manner, Dr. Philip Messenger and Dr. Gregory Tamagnini have joined the practice.

SINCE OPENING his frst dental ofce in North Bergen in 1991, Dr. Robert Scherrer continues to bring advanced cosmetic and family dental care to New Jersey. Over the years, Dr. Scherrer has honed his skills while never losing sight of his goal to provide comfortable, friendly dental care in an exceptional seting. Continuing education has remained a top priority for Dr. Scherrer, who considers himself a lifelong learner. His recent focus has been on giving patients the smile they have dreamed of through the artistry of cosmetic dentistry, as well as combining the oral health benefits of general and restorative dentistry. Another exciting area in cosmetic dentistry is in the field of implant dentistry. Dr. Scherrer routinely replaces missing teeth because it is a health solution for people of all ages. The alternative was to place a bridge over the area, which meant compromising the teeth next to the missing space. Today’s dental implants are long-term replacements that look and feel natural, allowing the patient to regain their confidence when smiling. Dr. Scherrer recently relocated his established practice to Ridgewood to a new 2,400-square-foot ofce outited not only with spa-like amenities such as massage chairs, but also with the latest dental technology, including laser therapy. For comfortable, advanced dentistry you can trust and aford, call Dr. Scherrer for a consultation.

PATIENTS DIAGNOSED with disorders of the spine might automatically believe they need surgery, but it isn’t necessary in every case. Dr. Patrick Roth, well known in Northern New Jersey as a neurosurgeon, founding member of North Jersey Brain & Spine Center, and Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Hackensack University Medical Center, believes that there is too much unnecessary surgical treatment for back pain. Dr. Roth, who is considered conservative when it comes to recommending surgical treatments for back pain, says that you can do one of two things for a spinal problem. You can do what most people do, which is to accept that you have a bad back that puts limitations on your life, and then try to mitigate it with litle success through medication and surgery. Or, you can take a diferent approach and realize you have the innate power to fundamentally change your situation through retraining your brain to perceive the pain diferently and through muscle strengthening, all of which can help you to avoid surgery. To help patients beter understand the psychology and physiology behind back pain, Dr. Roth has writen a highly endorsed book, Te End of Back Pain, Access Your Hidden Core to Heal Your Body and Avoid Back Surgery (HarperOne, 2014), which discusses the brain/body relationship and a method of treating back pain by strengthening a deep set of muscles that are rarely discussed, referred to as the “hidden core.” He is currently writing a book about the use of narratives and the art of communication in medicine. If you would like to learn more about Dr. Roth’s program please call Dr. Roth’s ofce for a consultation, or visit his website to read more about his philosophy.

LEAVING THE COMPANY? KNOW YOUR

RETIREMENT PLAN OPTIONS

YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN may offer you several options for managing your retirement plan assets when you change jobs or retire. This article explains these choices in order to help you make the right decision. Your retirement plan may offer you several options for managing your retirement plan assets when you change jobs or retire. Understanding these choices will help you make the right decision. YOUR OPTIONS Following are the choices that may be available to you. Note that these selections apply to your contributions, the vested portion of your employer’s contributions, if any, and the earnings attributed to both. • your money in the plan. You may be able to leave your savings in your employer’s retirement savings plan. Usually, minimum distributions must begin after you reach age 70½. This option allows you to continue deferring taxes on the account.1 Although you can no longer make contributions, you can still control how the money is invested. • Roll over your money to another retirement account. You can move your money into an individual retirement account (IRA) or, if you are changing jobs, into your new employer’s retirement plan, if allowed. With a “direct rollover,” the money goes directly from your former employer’s retirement plan to an IRA or to your new plan—you

never touch the money. This option also allows you to continue deferring taxes.1 • Take a cash distribution. You can choose to have your money paid directly to you in a lump sum or in installments (if you are retiring). However, you will be subject to income taxes, and if you are younger than age 59½, a 10% additional tax. In addition, your employer will withhold 20% of your distribution to put toward your federal income tax obligation. Therefore, if you are under age 59½, the amount you receive could be signifcantly less than you expect. AVOIDING AN IMMEDIATE TAX BITE If you receive a distribution, you can avoid an immediate income tax bite and the penalty if you roll over the entire amount into an IRA or a qualifed employer plan within 60 days. You will receive your distribution minus 20% in withholding for federal income tax, but you can make up the withdrawal amount from your own pocket. The withheld amount will be recognized as taxes paid when you fle your regular income tax. Think carefully before making any decisions about the money in your retirement plan. It may also be a good idea to discuss your options with a tax advisor.1 Withdrawals will be taxed at thencurrent rates. Withdrawals prior to age 59½ are subject to a 10% additional tax.

JAMES W. GEUDER, MD A good doctor should be more than a health care provider. A good doctor goes beyond examining and treating. He should teach the patient about their condition, how it developed, how it can be treated and what can be done to prevent further problems. This should be done in a comfortable and friendly environment. At The Vein Center of Oradell, Dr Geuder personally examines, educates and treats all patients. The Vein Center of Oradell has an ICAVL approved vascular lab to provide immediate accurate testing. Nurse Patty Galitsis, R.N. has years of experience with vein problems and is certified in fitting compression hose. Dr. Geuder has practiced vascular surgery in Bergen County for 25 years. He is a board-certified vascular surgeon who completed a vascular fellowship at NYU. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery of New Jersey Medical School. Castle Connolly and New York Magazine have consistently included him on their “Best Doctor” list. He also has the Patients Choice Award which is based on patient’s experience. “We make every effort to present a comfortable, friendly environment while providing the best “medical care.” Most vein problems can be treated in the office with minimally invasive procedures.

CAPRI

La doLce vita was practically invented on this beautiful italian isle, famous as the world’s oldest resort. by rItA guArnA It’s hard to say ex actly when I fell In love wIth capri. was it when I first spied the cinematic white cliffs looming before us as the waves from the hydrofoil’s wake sprayed my face like a teasing taunt from neptune? was it when I realized that much of the island is blessedly free of cars? was it when I glided 450 feet above the harbor in the

funicular past lemon groves, reedthatched roofs and swaths of wisteria? Or when I explored its caves and grottoes, knowing that this is where Homeric sailors, Roman emperors, A-list celebrities, artists and novelists, industrialists and intellectuals had romped? On Capri, the world’s first resort, anything is possible. No one seems to be in a rush to get anywhere. But this isn’t necessarily a lazy man’s trip either: Because Capri is small and steep (four miles long and two miles wide) with so few roads, it’s a walker’s island (cheating is allowed—you can rent a Vespa to explore some byways). In fact, Capri is a geological castoff from the peninsula of Sorrento in the southern part of the Bay of Naples. Limestone cliffs separate the two main towns: laid-back Anacapri and the more populated Capri (the town) in the east. Anacapri boasts Monte Solaro, 1,900 feet high, while Monte Tiberio, its somewhat shorter sibling, is topped by the ruins of the Emperor Tiberius’ palace, Villa Jovis. While a few main streets connect key points, most streets are really nar-

row twisting lanes or paved paths that criss-cross what is still a surprisingly wild, rocky island, home to goats and lizards, maritime pines and oleander. (The word Capri comes from the Greek word kapros, meaning wild boar—but I didn’t encounter those!) The island’s beauty is fit for a king. In fact, it was the Roman Emperor Augustus and his successor Tiberius who set their greedy eyes on Capri two millennia ago. Tiberius built the Villa Jovis, where he spent his last decade. There he could carouse in orgiastic debauchery without fear of repercussion. And if someone displeased him, legend contends he hurled that someone from the Salto di Tiberio, a cliff 1,000 feet above the sea. It seems a combination of his murderous and lecherous ways got him into trouble. (Talk about a lusty histor y: No wonder the island earned a reputation for decadence and hedonism.) Like so much that is worth seeing on Capri, visiting Villa Jovis requires a trek—it’s Opposite: A rock formation creates a natural arch over the sea. This page, from top: The Hotel Caesar Augustus stands 1,000 feet above the Bay of Naples, and guests enjoy a nightly display as the glitter of the Milky Way is reflected on the water below; the “Stairway to Heaven” leads walkers among ancient structures.

an hour’s climb. but it’s worth it. The bluff-top view is spellbinding: Sorrento and Vesuvius to the east; a panorama of capri to the south and west. after seabirds halt their crying, there’s a profound silence, leaving only tranquility—that and an eerie sense that the ghost of Tiberius might just be about to sneak up behind you. It seems the hellion was on to something. In the 1950s, thenexiled King Farouk of egypt found himself at the Hotel caesar augustus, an idyllic spot with some of the island’s best views. His apartment, today known as the Farouk Suite, is one of 55 elegant rooms and suites. original antiques and two oversize bathrooms, one with a large Jacuzzi, the other a mega shower, both luxuriously outfitted, are highlights of the suite. Though grand, the interior pales by contrast with the terrace: Its doric columns frame 180-degree views. (capri is no place for people with a fear of heights. In most places, you’ll be peeking over railings, balconies

and alcoves down, down, down to the azure waters below.) a wealthy german built the hotel in the 1850s, but traces of previous structures dating back to the 9th centur y can be seen. Prince emmanuel bullak of russia bought it in the 1900s and commissioned the life-size statue of caesar augustus pointing out to the sea. The prince believed that augustus played a larger role in bringing capri to the world’s attention than Tiberius (or perhaps he thought him betterbehaved). Thirty years later, the Signorinis bought the resort and turned it into one of Italy’s most stylish small hotels. It’s a member of the relais & châteaux and Virtuoso hotels, and they epitomize graciousness: Upon arrival, you’re whisked away from the marina’s crowds, given a fresh-squeezed glass of lemonade (the hotel has its own lemon trees) and immediately ensconced in your room or suite. no visit to capri would be complete without swimming in the sea (and seeing the blue grotto—yes, it’s a big tourist attraction, but worth visiting if only once). banish notions of islands you may have

visited in the caribbean: beautiful beaches there ain’t—most of these tend toward small and pebbly, and the few sandy swaths you’ll find are awash with people and umbrellas. but what they lack in sand they more than make up for in scenery and scenes. La Fontelina on the southern coast is one of the best lidos, or beach clubs, with a good restaurant tucked into the rocks that ser ves pasta and seafood galore. and it sells day passes. You can slip into the water from the rocks and have a lemon granita waiting after your swim. If images of Poseidon and neptune don’t make you feel buoyant, then the salinity of the water certainly will. (nowhere have I felt more aloft, except perhaps in the dead Sea.) It seems you can float forever. back on terra firma, it’s a toss-up as to what will captivate you more: heartstopping views of the sea and the three iconic Faraglioni rocks—named Stella, mezzo and Scopolo—or the beautiful people whose comings and goings make the dock a sort of catwalk. of course, it can’t be reached by taxi. You either go by private boat or walk down a very steep hillside (which means you’ll have to climb back up at day’s end). When it’s time for dinner, you will be tempted to overindulge, no doubt scar fing down plates of homemade pastas, just-caught fish and bowls of fresh figs

and washing it all down with bottles of fine wine. after all, this is southern Italy, where everyone has some manner of garden growing zucchini, tomatoes and potatoes, not to mention olive trees, lemon trees and even cactus trees—the kind that grow prickly pears (delicious—but swallow, don’t chew, the seeds). The caprese grow their own herbs, fruits and vegetables. They buy seafood directly from the fishermen and make pasta at the kitchen table. It doesn’t get fresher than this. Whether you eat at the hotel’s La Terrazza di Lucullo (try the orange-scented risotto) or one of several nearby ristoranti, you won’t be disappointed. Try aurora for pizza, or da Paolino if you’d like to dine in the middle of a lemon grove. and don’t skip the dolce. While many think of cannoli as the quintessential Italian dessert, I recommend the not-too-sweet sfogliatella, a neapolitan specialty consisting of crispy pastry crust flled with creamy ricotta. It’s best when it’s eaten warm from the oven. Still, no one will look askance if you decide to eat only the famous caprese salad—vine-ripened tomato, basil and mozzarella drizzled with extra virgin olive oil—and a glass of prosecco. There’s something about the cool bite of the bubbles and the gentle breezes in an open-air café that soothes the soul. and, of course,

the people-watching is first-rate too. You’ll see two types of gente on capri: typical tourists whose gaudy clothing makes you wince; and everyone else—young and old alike—clad in their Sunday best. I’m not talking shout-from-the-rooftop obvious here. no, the natives dress with finesse (they’re Italian, after all)—the quality of their garments unmistakable; their style, seemingly effortless. That’s one reason why you simply cannot miss taking a passeggiata, or nocturnal stroll. This daily rite is practiced all over Italy, but here in capri partaking of it is akin to having frontrow seats to the latest runway show in milan. no sensible shoes for these fashionistas— cobblestone streets, be damned. only strappy, high-heel sandals will do for the women. and as with any great parade, you’ve got to be both spectator and participant in order to experience it fully. Luckily, it’s not a once-in-a-blue-moon event but a nightly spectacle. Your reward: at the end of the night, you too will be an espresso-sipping bella donna or gentil’uomo. What could be better? now that’s amore.
