Seger and Cirangle were recognized for their continuous support of the college’s Center for Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis. In 2008, this brother and sister duo founded the Seger Family Foundation in honor of their mother, and for the last several years, the proceeds from their annual golf outing have been directed towards the Center. Helwig has contributed to the success of the college’s annual Golf Outing for the past 25 years, an event which has raised nearly $1 million over the years for the Caldwell College Scholarship Fund.

CELESTE:
A Gem of a Store
W
hen Gabor Klein bought Celeste Jewelers from its previous owner back in 1971, he may not have known that the name “Celeste” is derived from the Latin word for “heaven.” The name is highly appropriate, though: his shop has been described by devoted customers as “heavenly,” “divine” and “out of this world” since he assumed ownership. The shop has been an area institution for over 40 years, first in South Orange and, since 1980, in Livingston. Klein, a Europeantrained Master Jeweler, notes that “Unlike many other jewelers, we have a full factory on the premises, so we can make our own jewelry right here. In fact, 75% of the merchandise we sell has actually been designed and created by us.” The “us” referred to by Klein is his wife, son and daughter. Celeste Jewelers is very much a family business. In addition to creating new jewelry, Klein and his family take excellent care of customers’ old pieces. He spends a lot of time refinishing and re-polishing. In addition, he notes, “One of our specialties is the resetting of diamonds. We will give a free estimate and can do the work while the customer watches.” Another Celeste specialty is the repair of antique and estate jewelry. This can be a difficult process, since antique pieces tend to be more delicate and fragile than contemporary ones. Klein points
Gabor Klein
out that not all jewelers are able to do this work; he credits his European training for his skill in this area. The Celeste staff also works with customers who want their old jewelry updated. Klein says, “We can certainly alter pieces to make them look more modern, but we try not to be too trendy. We want to create jewelry that our clients will want to hand down to their children and grandchildren.” For customers who aren’t looking to keep their old jewelry, Celeste Jewelers does appraisals and trade-ins. Klein explains, “Clients can sell us their old pieces and apply the price toward the purchase of new ones.” Choices include ready-made jewelry as well as the custom-designed pieces made on the premises. In addition to gold and diamonds, the selection includes silver and other gemstones. Whether creating new pieces or refinishing old ones, Celeste Jewelers treats gems and precious metals like dear friends. After experiencing the service there, customers will wind up feeling like friends as well.

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 a kitchen or bathroom that is sure to be a showpiece of their house,” 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 highquality cabinetry lines as Fieldstone Cabinetry, Plain & Fancy, Bertch Cabinetry and Designers’ Choice (all offering lifetime warranties) 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,
Daniel Knapik and Vincent Corbo
their hopes and dreams,” explains Knapnik. “Then we put together a 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, and all of the contractors we work with have a minimum of 20 years experience. All of our trades people are true craftsmen,” 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. 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.”

RAINBOW ACADEMY: Turning Parents’ Biggest Concern into Their Greatest Comfort
S
ue and Michael Drake were so pleased with their son’s experience at Rainbow Academy’s child care center in Whippany, they decided to open a Rainbow Academy themselves. As Sue Orsulak-Drake explains, “It took us a long time to have Nicholas and we weren’t sure about putting him in daycare. We wanted a homelike environment where someone would care for him the way we do.” Now 4, Nicholas has been at Rainbow since he was almost 2. “I am so impressed with what Nicholas learns every day and I have such a comfort level with the environment and teachers--we wanted to share that experience with others.” The Drake’s dream has become a reality with the opening of Rainbow’s Academy in West Caldwell on Bloomfield Avenue in March of 2014. It is easy to see why the Drakes and others are enamored with the Rainbow Academy blueprint for childcare. There are currently 16 centers throughout N.J.—one for each year Rainbow has been in business and over 30 more under development. Sun-infused rooms and tasteful décor provide a comforting balance of serenity and stimulation. The location and design of this state-of-the-art facility includes every safety feature and helpful amenity imaginable. Biometric fingerprint scanning security, a proprietary curriculum and low child-to-teacher ratios all strive to exceed industry standards. Technology plays an important role at all ages. The Parentview® Internet Monitoring system allows parents to see their children in real-time, throughout the day. Another tool—Tadpoles—provides parents with a diary of their child’s activities—from meals and diaper changes, to pictures and videos of activities and learning mile-

stones. As one parent remarked, “I couldn’t make the Easter parade this week, but saw it all on my computer screen.” Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms use interactive whiteboards as a window to the world beyond the classroom. Last but certainly foremost in the recipe for successful child care are the teachers and staff who are building this Rainbow Academy family. The director, Gina Mariani-Chimento, is a Verona native with a youthful demeanor and quiet charm that belie almost three decades of early childhood teaching and substantial director experience. Gina and her well-trained staff are excited by the opportunity to offer an extended day kindergarten program this fall. Chimento explains, “We are working to ensure that the curriculum is aligned with the Caldwell/West Caldwell school system.” Rainbow’s proprietary curriculum is supported by Handwriting Without Tears®—a reading and writing readiness program. American Sign Language, Spanish and a music education program are other examples of how Rainbow Academy cultivates learning through a multi-sensory approach. Children are engaged through hands-on learning activities in small groups ensuring they are well prepared for Kindergarten while having a lot of fun along the way. Interested parents should e-mail Gina Chimento at GChimento@RainbowAcademy.com, or call 973-882-1111. Rainbow Academy provides early education to children from 6 weeks through Kindergarten as well as special programming for children up to 10 years old during school holidays, breaks and summer camp.

The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies.

Making a few simple changes in your lifestyle now may help you avoid the serious health complications of diabetes down the road, such as nerve, kidney and heart damage. Consider the latest diabetes prevention tips from the American Diabetes Association:
• Lose extra weight
• Get more physical activity There are many benefits to regular physical activity. Exercise can help you lose weight; lower your blood sugar; boost your sensitivity to insulin—which helps keep your blood sugar within a normal range.

Health, Beauty & Fitness Rx for Walking Right
Y
ou can’t get very far along with a walking program if your feet hurt. Could you have flat feet? They could be the cause of pain in your arch? Do your feet pronate? You might get heel spurs. Most shoe manufacturers design shoes to compensate for these motion control issues. But how do you find the best fit for you?
Save Time and Prevent Injury When Doing Yard Work While caring for your lawn can be pleasant, it needn’t take all day. Luckily, time saving tools can also save your body some wear and tear: • Water plants with a heavy-duty sprayer. Since gardeners are prone to knee injuries from repetitive pressure placed upon the area, a sprayer you can use standing up is a better choice.
Mary Murdoch
The first step is to shop in a store with a truly experienced staff. Take your old shoes, the wear patterns are a clue to what’s wrong with your stride. Mary Murdoch of JT Murdoch Shoes in Bloomfield who has been fitting problem feet for years explains, “People come to as a last resort. We should be their first stop. Customers can walk in the door and we can analyze their gait pattern and recommend a shoe to help them.” Before you hang up your walking shoes, find a pair that fit well. It just might get your walking program back on track.
• More than 38,000 Americans sustained raking-related injuries in 2012, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. For a more efficient collection of leaves, pine needles and grass clippings, consider using a high-performance lawn sweeper. • Save your back and some time by avoiding wheelbarrows and over-theshoulder hauling. Instead, move tools, soil, mulch and yard clippings quickly and with ease with a cargo carrier or utility cart. • Shave off hours off yard work while also avoiding the repetitive arm, elbow, wrist and hand movements that cause injury with a dethatcher that gently combs dead grass and roots to the surface where they can be swept up. This season, make more of your days outdoors by spending less time doing chores and more time relaxing.— StatePoint

HOME & GARDEN Using Salvage Items to Decorate Outdoor Living Spaces By Rhonda L. Rivera
W
ith the popularity of the green movement, new television channels like HGTV and the DIY Network plus social media sites such as Pinterest have spurred many to find new purposes for old items. “People love reusing items instead of throwing them away,” according to Patty Cain, owner of the Gypsy Farmhouse. “By repurposing pieces that were handmade over 100 years ago, the beautiful workmanship can be appreciated for many more years to come.”
Patty Cain
Sometimes people fall in love with a vintage item, but are at a loss as to what to do with it today. “We are the idea people. We give you ideas of what you can do with the item,” says Cain. For example:
• Prop up old ladders, vintage wooden or iron fence sections, or place vintage chairs in the garden and let vines climb up or around them • Place old shutters, iron gates, weather vanes or lightening rods around the backyard for decorative interest • Transform any sort of unusual containers, such as egg baskets, wooden crates, old porcelain sinks, oil cans, galvanized buckets and tubs and even old leather work shoes and sneakers into planters for flowers • Hang Amish tin barn stars, made from old roofing tins, onto the side of your garage

“What should I look for when re-evaluating home insurance coverage?”
“
Y
ou should look for a quality carrier, the carrier’s claims reputation, the nature of the coverage, and a premium that fits your budget.
Keep in mind that it is very important that you compare apples-to-apples when selecting the right home insurance coverage for your needs. Just as some people drive Fords while others choose Ferraris, insurance coverage varies widely. I recommend that you go to an independent insurance agent who serves the customer, not the carrier. An independent agent will be able to give you complete and unbiased coverage analysis so that you can rest assured that your insurance needs are being met.”

Keeping Headlice at Bay By Rhonda L. Rivera
Lice.
That four-letter word strikes fear into the hearts of many parents. With 6-12 million infestations each year in the United States in children ages 3-11 years, what can be done to stop them? First off, it’s important to note that personal hygiene has nothing to do with whether a child contracts lice. Secondly, lice are extremely contagious and annoying, but not dangerous and do not spread disease. Di Wang “Lice are spread by a number of ways, including headto-head contact,” explains Di Wang, owner of Pigtails & Crewcuts in Montclair. “The best way to reduce the risk of getting lice is by using preventative products and not sharing head accessories.” Two brands offer complete lines of preventative shampoos, conditioners, hairsprays and hair
gels. The “lice defense line” by Circle of Friends has a lavender scent which repels lice. The other brand, Fairy Tales, is scented with rosemary which similarly keeps lice at bay. Both brands are organic, non-toxic and contain no harsh chemicals. Should prevention tactics fail, however, both offer lice removal kits. According to Wang, one of the most popular lice prevention products is the leave-in spray conditioner. Many parents stop their kids on the way out the door and spray it on their hair, inside hats and on girls’ headbands and bows. Helmets, a main culprit of spreading lice as they are shared among teammates, should also be sprayed before each use. Wang notes that no special “lice season” exists, so prevention is key year-round. Both Circle of Friends and Fairy Tales brands are available at Pigtails & Crewcuts, 49 Claremont Ave., Montclair, 973-746-5437, www. pigtailsandcrewcuts.com/montclair.
Child Care Comes of Age By Rhonda L. Rivera
A
new model of early childhood education has emerged over the past fifteen years. Traditional notions of either day care (essentially full-time babysitting) or preschool (an introduction to the classroom via a shortened day) have evolved. Today’s savvy parents demand hybrid child care that focuses on the child’s individual development combined with flexible coverage hours. Child Care centers are now considered enrichment opportunities, offering age-appropriate curricula that is followed throughout the day, which can run from 7:30am to 6:30pm. An experienced and educated staff works with the children, monitoring developmental progress both socially and behaviorally, and providing daily reports to parents. “With our childcare programs, we see children with a high level of self-esteem and the ability to self-regulate. They are interested in

trying new things, and believe that it’s ok to fail,” says Corrine Harney, M.Ed., Executive Director of My Morning Out Programs located on South Fullerton Avenue in Montclair.
CORRINE HARNEY
Harney credits the national spotlight on early childhood education and the movement toward a universal pre-K for the changing views and new-found respect for the field. She also cites the Early Learning Standards enacted by the State of New Jersey last year for providing a common framework for areas of development and competencies. Harney notes, “The level and rate of growth between newborn until five years old is greater than any other time in life. There’s a new understanding and appreciation for the importance of these formative years.”

DIAMOND MINDS By Barry Farber
The Lonely Game of
“FOLLOW THE FOLLOWER” “I find that the very things that I get criticized for, which is usually being different and just doing my own thing and just being original, is the very thing that makes me successful.”
Barry Farber
— Shania Twain
M
any of the greatest ideas, inventions, cures and successes are developed when an individual takes an approach which differs from that of leaders before him or her. Often, the key to success is breaking away from the pack and following what the heart and mind has to say. The problem is that sometimes people are afraid to be different because they want to be accepted by their family, friends and peers. For most, this begins at a young age. Children wear the same types of sneakers and dress the same way in order to avoid standing apart from the crowd. This trend even follows individuals into adulthood. When people get a new job, they first look around to make sure that they are doing the same things that their co-workers are doing. When they see that others are doing what is familiar to them, they feel more comfortable about their own behavior and actions. The problem, however, is that many people are losing out on a plethora of incredible opportunities. People should always be asking, “is the person I’m following going where I want to go?” Years ago, in a small store on Main Street, a shopkeeper placed a large grandfather clock in his front window. The next morning, he saw a man walk by, take out his pocket watch, adjust the watch, put it back in his pocket and walk away. Every morning for the next four years, the shopkeeper observed this morning ritual. Then, one morning the shopkeeper was out sweeping the sidewalk when the man passed by, took out his watch, adjusted it, and put it back in his pocket. “Excuse me,” said the shopkeeper, “but I’ve been watching you do this every morning, every day for four years now. Can you tell me why?” “Certainly,” said the man. “I’m the foreman down at the mill. I blow the quitting whistle at five o’clock every day, and I want to be sure that my people get out on time.”
“You’re kidding me,” said the shopkeeper. “I’ve been setting my grandfather clock to your five o’clock whistle all these years!” The funny thing is, they could have been off by days or weeks. The shopkeeper and the mill foreman, like many people in today’s society, were caught up in a game called “follow the follower.” Instead of conducting their own investigation to find someone who truly has the qualities they wish to emulate, people tend to take on the group mentality. People want to be themselves, but they are afraid to be labeled as “different.” There is nothing inherently wrong with following. In fact, it is one of the most effective ways to learn. High achievers are constantly studying other people and their methods of accomplishment. The difference is that they are particular about the people from whom they choose to learn. They look for those whose values match their own and who have achieved excellence in their field. They surround themselves with models of success.
“When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.” — Cynthia Heimel, writer and humorist
