Bloomingdale Resident Premieres Town Documentary

way to the Historic Delazier field to watch their town’s history on the big screen. Paul Bastante, Bloomingdale town resident, directed a feature-length documentary, “Bloomingdale: An American Small Town,” to honor his town’s 100-year anniversary. He interviewed current town residents, delved deep into the town’s history and was able to tell an inspiring story about the town’s present and its past. On Aug. 8, film and town lovers gathered around the red carpet just outside Delazier field for pictures and a real film premiere experience. There was music, food and a sense of community at the field that night. An exhibition football game took place that night as well that repre-sented two of

the town’s vintage football organizations, the BYO Chiefs and the Bloomingdale Troopers, who were also mentioned in the doc-umentary. Mayor Dunleavy, Tom Riley, and Paul Bastante spoke before the film aired. People gathered in the stands and listened intently as they spoke. Their words touched not only town residents, but also people that lived outside of Bloomingdale. “I’m very inspired by the film,” said Brandon Smith, resident from Wayne. “It showed me so much I didn’t know about a town I’ve lived near for over 20 years.” The documentary was divided into eight chapters that went into detail about Historic Delazier field, the Bloomingdale continued on page 3

he sultry melody of August quietly fades as the high-intensity sounds of September take center stage. Stores are stocked with school supplies and TV commercials send a message to households nationwide that preparations are underway for a new school year. Some children may be eager to put the summer behind them, happily awaiting the adventures of a new grade with friends they may not have seen all summer, but there will be others who may be more hesitant about entering into the new school year, as they anxiously consider new schedules, peer pressures and homework. Parents may wrestle with their own mixed emotions as highly prized time together, which the summer condones, must now be set aside in order to put things in order for ten months of academics, sports activities, social events and work schedules which all vie for everyone’s time, attention, and energy. Having homeschooled all four of my children over the course of 18 years, I understand all too well how overwhelming it may feel to sort all the mixed emotions and land in a good place with everyone feeling confident, prepared and peaceful about the year ahead. However, a few strategies have worked so well for us that they’ve become a highly anticipated tradition that ushers in the school year with smiles and readiness. Select a day and time for little ones to personalize their supplies and materials using

fancy markers, stickers, and drawings, which serve to create feelings of freedom, creativity, and promotes a sense of self. Explore styles of clothing with older children, discussing what they’d like to wear, working together to bring about a satisfying and appropriate sense of self expression. Set aside a date on the calendar to meet together as a family in order to celebrate the dreams, goals, and missions your child hopes to achieve in the year. Use this time to hand out your child’s personalized supplies and materials and allow him or her to inspect and familiarize themselves with the material they’ll be studying. Plan a play date with other classmates, eliminating the fear of entering classrooms with peers they’ve never met before or don’t know well yet. Visit the school grounds and classes, if possible, before school starts, reducing the anxiety of an unfamiliar environment. Meet teachers either in person or by visiting the school website to view teacher bios and class plans for the year, creating a sense of familiarity. Discuss first impressions of teachers, peers, school curriculum, and class plans, which helps to process the various raw emotions in the safe, non-judgmental environment of home. September is a month of beginnings and the perfect time to come along side our children as they transition from the casual ease of August to the high intensity of September. Wheth-

Lead East Introduces New Generation To The ‘50’s

By Elsie Walker hirty-five years ago, Terry Cook from Delahaya USA in Chester started a car show that turned into an event like no other: Lead East, known as the world’s biggest ‘50’s party. The event grew to become a journey back in time to the music, dance, movies, and sights of the 1950s. After the last Lead East, Cook decided to retire to write a book. However, the party isn’t over. Four longtime Lead East attendees from the Hope area have taken ownership of the event and Jim Craig of Great Meadows has become event coordinator. With these changes, Lead East still features an abundance of classic cars, but it is morphing from a party into a festival of the 1950s, with more offerings for kids than in the past. Classic cars

are still a big part of it, as is the spirit of giving. Lead East will run from Thursday, Aug. 30 to Sunday, Sept. 2 at the Parsippany Hilton. “We want to open the door to more generations and introduce other generations to the ‘50’s,” explained Craig. He compares attending Lead East to being beamed up to a spaceship and taken back in time. Things were different then. “In the ‘50s, everything was American; it was an American phenomenon,” he said. Lead East has always had the sounds of rock and roll bands and accapella do-wop groups, the look of ‘50s fashion like poodle skirts and greased back hair, plus a traditional prom and even Elvis sightings. Now, it is offering more for not only those who remember the ‘50s, but those experiencing it

for the first time. Craig shared that people can learn about how to dress like the ‘50’s or to decorate their home ‘50’’s style. Country line dancing has been added to the dance lesson offerings.

Craig noted that classic country was also part of the ‘50’s. For kids there will be Craigles the clown, a clown mobile, a flea circus, face painting, balloon animals and contests. A model continued on page 9

The children will be supplied with model car kits and judged on who does best at putting one together. Another contest for kids is to see who can get the best greaser (greaser down hair) look. Of course, Lead East wouldn’t be Lead East without cars with 1,400 plus cars expected to arrive by Friday of the event. They come from not only New Jersey, but a variety of states. Also, they’re not all from the ‘50s. There will be cars from the 1930s – 1970s: classics, rot rods, muscle cars and more. One aspect of Lead East is

that of giving. Every year, Lead East picks a charity to support and this year it is the Ashley-Lauren Foundation which helps children in N.J. who have cancer. There will be a booth at which 50/50 tickets will be sold. Also, as it has been for many years, Piccatinny Arsenal, from Dover, will be on hand showing some of its military vehicles and collecting toys for Toys for Tots to be given out to needy area children at Christmas. The Parsippany police and fire departments are also expected to be on hand with vehicles and taking donations.

What To Know About Sharing A Bed With Pets

ets provide companionship for thousands of people around the world, so it is understandable that pet owners want to be around their companion animals as much as possible - with many even welcoming them into their beds. According to PetMd, an online animal healthcare resource, around 80 percent of pet owners allow pets to share beds with human family members. Data from the American Pet Products Association has found at least half of all pet parents allow pets to sleep with them every night. Whether this is safe, healthy, or wise is a matter of debate. There are pros and cons to sharing a bed with pets. Understanding those pros and cons can help pet owners make more

informed decisions. Pro: Get into a relaxed state. Companion animals can help relieve stress, which may translate into better sleep for their owners. Some people find that the rhythmic breathing of dogs or cats can help lull them to sleep. Con: Possible transmission of illness or zoonotic agents.

Snuggling so close to a pet may put people at risk of acquiring illnesses that are transmitted from animal to human. In the past, MRSA skin infections and H1N1 influenza have been transferred from pets to people. Pro: Pets are warm. If the goal is to get cozy under the covers, animals can provide

a little extra warmth, as their body temperatures run a few degrees warmer than their owners’. Con: An extra body in bed can disturb sleep. Just as individuals may have trouble with a spouse or a child being in the bed next to them, pets can bring about the same disturbances. In a study from the Mayo Clinic Sleep Disorders Center, 53% of pet owners surveyed said their pets disturbed their sleep in some way each night. Dogs that snore and cats that chase “prey” around the room can disturb their owners’ sleep. Pro: A deeper connection forms between pet and owner. Many pets like to be around continued on page 11

Chilton Medical Center Auxiliary Hosts 2nd Designer Handbag Bingo & Basket Raffle

Sharing A Bed With Pets... continued from page 10 their owners because it gives them reassurance and comfort that they are loved. Animals that were rescued or are anxiety prone may be especially comforted by snuggling in bed with their owners. Happy pets often make for happy owners. Con: It may cause behavioral problems. Dogs in particular may mistake sleeping in their owners’ beds as a sign of dominance. Some veterinarians suggest puppies that are more prone to issues with aggression may fully develop these behaviors if allowed to sleep with humans. At the very least, it is advisable to wait until dogs are trained and exhibiting good behavior for extended periods of time before allowing them to sleep in their owners’ beds. Pro: It’s a sign of trust. According to Victoria Stilwell, an internationally renowned dog

trainer, dogs only sleep with the people or dogs they trust. Therefore, dogs who like sleeping with their owners are exhibiting trust and recognizing the same from their owners. Whether or not to allow dogs or cats to share personal spaces like beds, is a decision pet owners have to make. It should be based on safety, comfort, and mutual agreement with any other bed partners. Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home – with his wife, three cats, and two dogs – to provide quality and compassionate care for pets in the community. The Pequannock Animal Hospital is located at 591 Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton Plains. You can reach the hospital by calling 973-616-0400.

Clean Indoor Air Can Help Reduce Asthma Attacks

id you know that, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 25 million Americans, including roughly seven million children, have asthma? It’s true, and those numbers have steadily risen in recent years. Asthma is more than occasional wheezing or feeling out of breath during physical activity. Asthma is chronic and can lead to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, fast breathing, and chest tightness, states the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. In the 21st century, people spend significant time indoors at home, school or work, and indoor air environments could be triggers for asthma. Improving indoor air quality can help people breathe clearly. The AAFA notes that the following agents

can adversely affect indoor air quality, potentially triggering asthma attacks. Allergens Allergens such as mold, dust mites, pet dander and fur, and waste from insects or rodents thrive in many homes. Ensuring indoor air quality is high can cut back on the amount of allergens in the air. People with asthma can invest in an air purifier and vacuum regularly, being sure to use a HEPA-equipped appliance. Routinely replacing HVAC system filters can help prevent allergens from blowing around the house. Also, frequent maintenance of HVAC systems will ensure they are operating safely and not contributing to poor indoor air quality. Mold can be mitigated by reducing moisture in a home. Moist environments in the

Serving the local community for over 30 years

kitchen and bathroom may promote mold growth. Ventilation is key to keep mold at bay. Tobacco smoke Thirdhand smoke, or THS, may be unfamiliar to many people. A 2011 report published in Environmental Health Perspectives says THS is an invisible combination of gases and particles that can cling to clothing, cushions, carpeting, and other materials long after secondhand smoke has cleared from a room. Studies have indicated that residual nicotine levels can be found in house dust where people smoke or once smoked. Studies have indicated that smoke compounds can adsorb onto surfaces and then desorb back into air over time. Keeping tobacco smoke out of a home can improve indoor air quality and personal health. VOCs

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are gases released from commonly used products. These can include paints and varnishes, cleaning supplies, air fresheners, new furniture, and new carpet. People with asthma may find that VOCs can trigger attacks. Airing out items, reducing usage of products that are heavily scented and choosing low- or no-VOC products can help. Making cleaning products from baking soda, vinegar and liquid oil soap also can keep indoor air quality high. Homeowners who plan to renovate their homes can consider using the appropriate specifications for HVAC systems to promote good indoor air, as well as address any other potential problems that may be compromising indoor air quality.

Local Nonprofit Foundation Receives Federal Money To Help Those With Paralysis

By Dawn M. Chiossi oday’s Care, Tomorrow’s cure:” This is the inspiring mission of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. On July 1, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation in Short Hills received a three year, 6.5 million dollar federal grant to help people who are living with spinal cord injuries and other conditions that cause paralysis. Some of these conditions include spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, (ALS), stroke, spina bifida and cerebral palsy. This money will aid these people in the many battles and challenges they face on a daily basis, enhancing their lives. The foundation is the recip-

The Reeve Foundation has operated the Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) for approximately 16 years. Quality of life: Everyone strives to obtain it, the enjoyment and independence that make life worth living. So many people take it for granted. But having quality of life is often difficult, if not nearly impossible, when people have physical disabilities impeding their way. But those from the Short Hills based Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation seek to change that. Their belief is simple: That every human being should be able to obtain and lead full and rich lives, re-

How To Make Smart Decisions During Benefits Enrollment Season

very fall, millions of American workers spend time making financial decisions that will affect them for the entire upcoming year. Benefits enrollment season is a critical time for choosing coverages that protect the health and financial stability of individuals and families. Despite the importance of these decisions, nearly half (49 percent) of people spend less than 30 minutes reviewing their options before making selections, according to research from Unum, a leader in employee benefits. Personal finance expert Laura Adams said not carefully reviewing all your employee benefits options can mean leaving money on the table or serious gaps in your financial safety net. “Employers are increasingly offering consumer-directed health plans, which typically

charge lower premiums but higher deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs,” Adams said. “Because of these additional financial burdens, I always recommend taking advantage of your employer’s health savings account (HSA).” Money deposited into an HSA is tax deductible even if you don’t itemize deductions on your tax return. It grows taxfree and it can be withdrawn tax-free for qualified medical expenses. Unlike some flexible spending accounts, the unused funds in HSAs roll over. In addition to your HSA contributions, review your employer’s voluntary benefits to help close gaps that can expose you to financial risk. Getting this coverage at work can be one way to gain access to a variety of affordable options. Voluntary benefits are also generally available to employees at a lower rate than the cost of get-

ting coverage individually. Adams recommends carefully reviewing benefits materials provided by your employer prior to the open enrollment period, and paying special attention to the voluntary benefits that can help to reduce financial risk: • Disability insurance can help replace a portion of your paycheck should you get sick or injured and can’t work - you can think of it as income protection. Most plans will pay up to 60 percent of your salary if you’re unable to work due to a covered illness or injury. • Term life insurance provides affordable protection for a specific period. Most people buy it during their working years so their death benefit can help loved ones manage their financial needs. • Accident insurance can pay you directly for costs associated with urgent care and

emergency room visits, ambulance transportation and follow-up care. • Dental insurance is typically affordable and usually covers preventative cleanings, X-rays, exams and standard procedures. Fillings, crowns and other procedures are also generally included at a reduced rate to the policyholder. • Vision insurance is another low-cost voluntary benefit that covers routine eye exams, lenses, frames and, often, discounts on vision correction surgery. While these are just a few of the more popular voluntary benefits options, it’s important to review everything your employer offers. Investing a little additional time on the front end can help reduce your family’s financial risk down the road. For more information on different types of employee benefits, visit unum.com/benefits.

Local Nonprofit... continued from page 18 cident that left him paralyzed in 1995, actor Christopher Reeve put a human and familiar face on those who are enduring spinal cord injuries and paralysis. No more could people pretend that it was just an anonymous person who was suffering with a disability: Reeve was famous, and had been considered synonymous with Superman! But he was more than just a celebrity or a figurehead. He and his wife Dana were activists, driven to create positive changes. Utterly passionate regarding helping these fellow courageous folks living with physical challenges, Reeve simply considered them heroes. He staunchly sought to give them hope, because he knew how easily they could feel hopeless. A staggering 1 in 50 people in the United States, approxi-

mately 5.4 million Americans live with paralysis of some kind. And those aren’t just numbers or statistics; they are people close to us. “We all know someone a brother, sister, friend, neighbor or colleague who is suffering with paralysis. They aren’t strangers. They are one degree of separation from all of us,” officials assert. The Reeves’ Foundation is dedicated to performing innovative research, securing grants, providing information and much needed advocacy to aid their clients. During the past 16 years and moving forward, The Reeve Foundation and National Paralysis Resource Center continue to compete in a rigorous bidding process for every three years’ worth of funding, but the results for their clients are golden.

Since it opened in 2002, 100,000 people have been aided by this organization with approximately 20,000 people helped in the past three years alone. According to Anna Chamberlain, supervisor of Marketing and Communications for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation since 2015, the Reeve Foundation has a dual mission. “We focus on creating resources and programs to help the 5.4 million Americans and their families impacted by paralysis though our Paralysis Resource Center while also funding innovative and cutting edge research to find cures for spinal cord injuries in the near future,” she explains. Offering a multitude of free services such as their peer program which offers a way

of connecting individuals and caregivers with respective peer mentors to offer much needed emotional support, their military veterans program, information specialists, quality of life grants, program advocacy, and policy programs, these resources are designed to aid the whole individual. They empower both the body and spirit, to help to navigate the insecure journey ahead. “The programs help individuals return to actively participating in their communities, achieving independence and self-sufficiency, achieving things we take for granted like learning how to drive again, going back to work and even leaving their own homes are also ways in which the PRC helps individuals every day.” Chamberlain enthuses. continued on page 21

Save Money, Live Easier With 5 Ways To Save For College

By Azalia Whitlock ongratulations! The college process is over! The applying, the application fees, the running around for recommendation letters. It’s all over. Now the whole family is probably running to the nearest Bed Bath and Beyond trying to find which comforter is the most “aesthetically pleasing” to the ideal dream college dorm. Before running for those necessities, come back to reality and realize that this isn’t the end of the worry. For most families, how much money college will cost is top priority because as years continue, the prices for schools climb. Have no fear, here are some ways for soon to be college students to save and make money to help them keep college costs as low as possible. Apply for federal work study Federal Work Study is a

program most schools have in which students receive a job through the student employment office. The money that the student earns does not go toward their tuition but instead goes to the student as cash during the semester. Depending on the school, they allow students a certain amount of money to earn. Mary Primich of Trenton, a sophomore at Monmouth University double majoring in secondary education and English, works on campus at Pollak Theater through federal work study. “It’s hard getting a job when you’re in school,” she says. “It’s cool how we’re able to work on campus throughout the semester and get paid for it. I use a little bit of it for day to day expenses and then the other half I save some of it to pay off my loans.” Federal work study is also a

great way for students to get involved with their school as well as making money. Apply for EOF EOF (Educational Opportunity Fund), is a scholarship that allows New Jersey students to receive a well-rounded education that they normally would not be able to afford. Given to those students more than capable of doing great things after college, chosen applicants are given full admission to the university that they attend, financial support, and services throughout the year to help them succeed during their next four years. Arina Martin of Jackson, a sophomore at Monmouth University majoring in music, is one EOF scholarship recipient. She states “EOF has given me the opportunity to go to college when I couldn’t afford it. Without it (EOF), I’m not sure if

I would have been able to go to a university.” Be sure to check out the school’s website for their EOF program or call the school’s EOF department for requirements in seeking this financial help. Staying at home for school isn’t always bad Community college saves students money on food, room and board as well as other expenses such as room décor and transportation. Kassidy Orzechowski of Clifton, who recently transferred from Monmouth to go to Bergen Community College explains “I was supposed to go to Montclair but Montclair suggested I go to my local community college because getting your associates degree counts as having your general education requirements completed, continued on page 23

continued from page 22 so it makes more sense and it’s cheaper.” Although some may look down upon going to a community college, many would agree that these students are making a wise choice as the cost difference between a community college and a university is evident. Orzechowski explains, “I’m paying $2,500 to be a full-time student this semester instead of $16,000+ a semester. If I did this a year ago I’d be in a better position because no matter what all of my credits would have transferred so I’d be in

a better position.” Sell old clothes to a local thrift store Selling items and clothing that the student no longer uses anymore is a perfect way to not only save and make money, but to help the student determine what items are important versus completely irrelevant. By selling clothes at stores such as Platos Closet in Ledgewood, a recycling store that allows customers to sell gently used clothes for cash and other items that they do not use, the student can save space in the car for move in day and make some extra cash. Bryanna Welch of Long Branch, a sophomore at Monmouth University majoring in sociology, endeavors in shopping at thrift stores. She states “If we are comparing goodwill to Urban Outfitters, then I would be saving so much money. Usually I compare quality and cleanliness of the clothing itself. I like good will because it helps out charities.” Summer jobs Summer jobs are a necessity for all college students. Considering there are three months of summer for the average college

kid, there is more than enough time to get a job at any restaurant, movie theater or a bowling alley in order to start saving. Summer camps are perfect places to work over the summer because not only do people get paid for being a little kid, but they get to catch some sun rays. Carolyn Welch of Long Branch, a sophomore at Monmouth University, says “Summer jobs are the way to go for college kids. You get bored in the summer anyways, so why not make some money!” Welch advises to incoming freshmen to “Get a job for the summer before you go to college and save up money for the first semester for whatever it is they want to spend it on whether it be going out to eat or shopping. If you receive any money for Christmas, be sure to save it up for the next semester and file for tax returns in March!” These tips and tricks to saving money have worked and though they may be minor, they do help to save money to buy books for a semester or décor for the dorm room. College is an expensive experience, but by working hard and keeping the future in focus, the end game can be capable of achieving.

Quick Ways To Freshen Up Your Home for Fall

s fall weather sets in, many homeowners take advantage of cooler days to spruce up their living spaces since they’re confined indoors. However, fitting all that work into a busy season filled with school, sports and other family demands isn’t always easy. Fortunately, a fall refresh doesn’t have to mean mountains of daunting work. These tips can provide the inspiration you need to spruce up your home without the hassle. Control the clutter. Even the cleanest homes still look messy when they’re disorganized, but it’s an uphill battle for many to keep clutter from accumulating. Tackle the house roomby-room. Divide clutter into three piles: keep, donate and discard. Give floors a facelift. After

months spent outside, it’s inevitable that you’ve tracked some of the great outdoors back inside with you. Get your floors back in their best condition with a simple carpet washing innovation like Hoover’s Smartwash Automatic Carpet Cleaner. An auto-mix feature precisely mixes and dispenses solution for optimal cleaning, and operation is as easy as it comes: push forward to wash, pull back to dry. Let the powerful brushes do all the work to gently remove embedded dirt and debris. Add some cheery light. If you’re like many homeowners, light fixtures aren’t high on your list for everyday cleaning. However, over time dust and debris build up, which can impact the quality of light. Take time to wipe down fixtures for

a cleaner, brighter ambiance in minutes. Swap out bedding. Updating the textiles in a room is an easy way to instantly transform a space. Bedding for cooler seasons tends to be heavier and darker, so it’s the perfect time to make a switch to sheets and comforters that are not only practical but look cozy and inviting for the cold nights ahead. Similarly, you can swap out airy drapes and window treatments for more robust versions that reflect the season while helping keep drafts at bay. Make DIY cleaning supplies. Some of the most effective cleaning agents can be made at home, so you never have to worry about running out. Make your own all-purpose spray cleaner by combining

su wo fun for dir so tio as pro

a quart of water with four tablespoons of baking soda. For extra cleaning power, you can mix vinegar with water and add a few drops of essential oils for an appealing scent. Another quick fix: Run citrus peels through the garbage disposal for an easy clean and fresh smelling kitchen. Find more tips and ideas to get your home fall-ready at hoover.com.

A Handy Guide To Starting A Home Remodel

pprehension and inexperience keep many homeowners from pursuing reno-vation projects that would make their homes more functional, enjoyable and comfortable. Get-ting your hands dirty on the front end – with some planning and preparation – is the best blue-print for a successful home remodeling project. To help you start your remodel on the right track, consider these tips from Gary White with JCPenney Home Services. Start with a plan Although it may sound obvious, the first step really is to decide what you hope to accomplish with your renovation. At the least, begin to outline rough ideas to discuss with an expert. Reaching out to contractors before you’ve determined a basic idea for your

your finished project without regret. Draw up the plans To help set your plan in motion, there are numerous online tools you can utilize to simplify each step of the process including design, budgeting and more. If you’re planning a home re-model, a comprehensive resource like JCPenney Home Services offers a one-stop-shop for bathroom remodeling, countertops, custom window treatments, flooring, heating and cooling, water heaters and whole-home water treatment. You can find unique landing pages for each service that provides product information, complimentary in-home consultations and online pricing quotes at JCPenneyhomeservices.com. Involve a professional Unless you have the time and skills, you’ll want a li-

censed and insured contractor to lead the project when you’re ready to get your renovation in motion. It can be wise to solicit multiple bids, not only to ensure you get the best value, but also to find someone whose work, style and experience is most in line with the needs of your project. After all, this person will be a big part of your life during a fairly stressful time period. Always check references and verify the contrac-tor’s standing with local associations. Get ready for work Remember that you’ll need to create a work environment that is safe for your contractors and protects your valuable possessions. Establish a clear path to the project space for easy access and removal of debris. Furniture, appliances, room furnishings, valuables continued on page 26

project can waste time and money. Spend time listing the features you must have, as well as some nice-to-haves if budget allows. Also think about overall functionality, design and layout. If you get over-whelmed or need ideas, don’t hesitate to turn to online showrooms or magazines for inspira-tion. Set a budget If the sky is the limit, skip ahead, but if you’re like most homeowners, money matters. Have a clear idea of what you can afford to invest in your renovation before you get started, and if necessary, research the financing options available to you. Look for financing that provides de-ferred interest or low monthly payments to help manage the project cost. Setting a clear budg-et can help keep your contractors accountable, and it goes a long way toward ensuring you can enjoy

Starting A Home Remodel... continued from page 25 and breakable items should be removed from both the path to the work site and the work site itself. If your renova-tion project will involve an essential room, such as the kitchen or a bathroom, make alternate arrangements such as creating a makeshift kitchen with the bare necessities in another part of the house. Countertops 101 Kitchens and bathrooms are among the most common renovation projects, and countertops are often a focal point of these redesigns. However, choosing the right countertop can be over-whelming. To help make the difficult decision a little simpler, JCPenney Home Services experts offer insight on two of the most popular choices: Granite countertops have long been the mainstay of a beautiful kitchen or bathroom. Granite is a natural stone, quarried from large stone deposits around the world. It can have many differ-ent variations of patterns and colors, giving each slab a unique appearance that is visually rich and dynamic. In addition to its distinctive beauty and classic elegance, granite is also extremely durable. Granite is highly resistant

to heat and scratches and, with proper sealing, offers good water and stain resistance and is easy to clean. Granite typically needs to be sealed, both prior to installation and at least once per year. If properly maintained, a granite countertop will last for as long as you own your home, making it a potential long-term investment. Quartz is another popular choice for countertops due to its durability, stain resistance and ease of maintenance. It’s an engineered product made mostly from up to 93 percent quartz, a non-porous natural stone, combined with a small amount of binder and color. Small particles of glass or reflective metal flakes can also be added to some quartz designs to achieve a more unique look. The re-sult is an attractive slab that can be made in a wide variety of tones and colors, and can be fin-ished to duplicate high gloss polished stone. Quartz is one of the most durable countertop materials and one of the easiest to maintain. It is highly resistant to heat, water and stains, including stains from coffee, wine, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar and more. Unlike granite, quartz does not need to be sealed, making it easier to
