In The VICINITY 35 Years of Helping Women Help Themselves
F
or Andrea Spielman of West Caldwell, the words of encouragement that she heard from the staff at the Linda & Rudy Slicker NCJW/Essex County for Women helped her get on the right path after having just left an emotionally abusive relationship. The Center, which is celebrating its 35th Anniversary, supports women through extensive career service programs, and offers a variety of other opportunities from workshops to educational programs. After becoming a client, Speilman actively participated in 28 of the CFW programs including: computer classes, RISE workshops, Job Clubs, Vocational Boot Camps and Fill the Freezer. She also Andrea Spielman attended Education2Empowerment and Career Closet programs. Her children participated in the Rainbows program, where they could express their thoughts among their peers. “When you are able to take each seed that you have been handed from every service this Center has to offer and cultivate all the wisdom each seed gave with good intentions, those seeds will grow and blossom in ways you never thought possible,” states Speilman, expressing her gratitude for all the help she received. The Center of Women has helped thousands of women and all services are confidential and programs are nonsectarian and open to all women, regardless of religion.

Local Police Deploy BodyWorn Cameras
T
he Berkeley Heights Police Department began full deployment of body-worn cameras (BWCs) on November 4, 2016. The department’s standard operating procedures — including when an officer turns a camera on or off — are based on standards set by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office. These standards apply to all New Jersey police agencies that use BWCs. BWC footage is similar to footage from a cell phone camera. BWCs will be mounted to an officer’s uniform (the chest or shoulder area). The cameras will point away from the officer and will capture images in the camera’s field of vision. Citizens who interact with police officers will be recorded on body camera footage. BWCs are also equipped with audio. The cameras are being used to improve pubic safety, enhance transparency, accountability and trust. They are also being used to reduce complaints against officers and to make prosecutions more efficient and effective.

Saint Patrick School is a co-educational, parochial elementary school for children in preschool through eighth grade. “We have been nationally recognized as a Blue Ribbon School, and a Diocese of Paterson Star School,” says principal, Dr. Christine Ross. “Our students embark on a challenging academic journey that affords them the security of a familiar community during their formative years.” With enrichment programs and athletic teams, students have avenues to share their talents. “Saint Patrick School is a wonderful place for a child to continuously grow and live our faith as part of a loving community,” states Dr. Ross. Many current students have grandparents who were eighth grade graduates. Saint Patrick School, 45 Chatham Street, Chatham | 973-635-4623 | www.st-pats-school.org 6

aint Patrick School in Chatham was started in 1872 by several families with the desire for a Catholic education for their children, and is the fourth oldest in the Diocese of Paterson. 2017 marks the school’s 145th anniversary. Many festivities are planned including: a liturgy for current families, parishioners and alumni on January 29; Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli will celebrate a mass on February 3; and a dinner dance is being held on February 4. Students are actively working on writing an alma mater to commemorate the anniversary.
MAYO Performing Arts Center Announces Classes for Special Needs Children
B
eginning in January 2017, the Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC) in Morristown will add new courses for children with autism spectrum disorders and other special needs. The courses are offered by the Miracle Project — an award-winning program that uses music, dance and theatre.
“The need for this program is profound,” said Elaine Hall, founder and artistic director of The Miracle Project. “The rate of New Jersey children diagnosed with autism is much higher than the national average.” General Manager, Ed Kirchdoerffer, states that, “Through this program, the children become part of a performing arts community.” “MPAC is committed to making the performing arts accessible to all members of our community without any barriers,” said Allison Larena, MPAC’s president and chief executive officer. “The launch of The Miracle Project program at MPAC significantly enhances our offerings for children on the autism spectrum and with other disabilities through a revolutionary and specialized theater training program.” To prepare for the program’s launch, Hall will be giving a free, public lecture on Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. The lecture will explain The Miracle Project’s concept and how Hall plans to implement it at MPAC.

A Modern, Old-Fashioned Dental Practice By Deborah Schapiro, Photo by Dan Epstein
O
ver the 25 years that Dr. Helen Chiu has been a dentist, she has built a practice that combines the best of the old and the new. For both children and adults, she believes in good old-fashioned hand-holding—sometimes literally—to soothe anxious patients. She spends as much time with a patient as necessary, to answer questions, explain procedures, or otherwise ease fears. Her reputation for gentle dentistry is well known; she notes, “we treat a lot of people who are very stressed-out about seeing a dentist.”
Her reputation for gentle dentistry is well known; she notes, “we treat a lot of people who are very stressedout about seeing a dentist.” In addition to both general and cosmetic procedures, Dr. Chiu performs most root canal procedures herself, rather than referring patients out. So confident is she in her abilities that she personally guarantees major restorative dental work—such as crowns, bridgework, dentures and implant restorations for five years—another old-fashioned touch. At the same time, however, Dr. Chiu’s office in Florham Park is absolutely state-of-the-art. She uses a 3D scanner for both diagnostics and assisting in implant procedures, because “a conventional x-ray only shows two dimensions; 3D technology is more like a CAT scan.” She also recently acquired an impression scanner, which eliminates the need for conventional molds. The scanner has an intraoral camera that takes pictures of the patient’s bite and teeth and then stitches the images together. A well-fitting crown can be made based on the images. Dr. Chiu also uses visible light technology that interprets cavities before they can even be detected by more conventional methods. But perhaps the most impressive piece of equipment in her office is the computer-aided anesthetic delivery system. Instead of a

painful, anxiety-inducing injection, the patient receives Novocain through an IV drip monitored by a computer. This is particularly helpful for children needing stubborn baby teeth extracted. As important as modern technology is, there is no substitute for old-fashioned brushing and flossing. Dr. Chiu says, “I am conservative in my overall approach, but aggressive regarding the importance of preventative care.”

o support and protect—that’s the job of the human skeleton’s 206 bones. It’s a lifelong task that requires bones to continually rebuild themselves, forming new cells and strengthening weak spots. And like most body processes, this “reconstruction” slows down with age, sometimes with adverse results. Statistics show that one in two women and one in four men over 50 will suffer a fracture from osteoporosis, a chronic condition characterized by low bone density and deficits in calcium and other minerals that render bones brittle and highly breakable. Bone density is measured as a T-score via low-radiation x-ray. A T-score below -1 is cause for concern and requires medical consultation. Fortunately, you can reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis by eating well and exercising regularly.
Food-wise
Ingesting enough calcium, along with Vitamin D, is critical to bone health. But how much do you need and what foods offer these valuable nutrients? According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which revised its long-standing recommendations in 2010, adults 19 to 50 need 1,000 mg of calcium daily and 1,200 mg daily for adults 51 and over. For children, the suggested dietary allowance is 700 mg between one and three years of age; 1,000 mg between four and eight; and 1,300 mg between nine and 18. For Vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium, the IOM recommends 600 IU per day from age one to 70. This figure increases to 800 IU for those over 70. Dairy products and leafy greens (both cooked and raw) are particularly high in calcium and Vitamin D, so incorporate items like low-fat or fat-free yogurt, milk and cheese and vegetables like broccoli, spinach and kale into your diet. Other good sources include salmon, sardines, oysters, lean chicken and beans. You can also include whole-grain breads and pastas, which provide magnesium, another mineral that helps maintain bone strength. But because whole grains can interfere with calcium absorption, experts advise not eating them simultaneously with calciumrich foods. And stay away from caffeine, sugar and high protein as much as possible, as they can actually cause the body Leafy greens are particularly high in to excrete calcium. calcium and Vitamin D.
If you’re unable to get enough calcium and Vitamin D from your diet, supplements and herbs may provide a solution and can be purchased at health food stores and some drug stores. Chocolate chews such as Viactiv contain calcium as well as Vitamin D. Take the suggested dosage, ideally at a time of day when you have not just eaten foods high in calcium. As for herbs, try adding alfalfa, barley grass, dandelion root, nettle or parsley to your diet. They can be taken in various forms, all of which help build bone.
Exercise-wise
Believe it or not, bones last longer if you place greater stress on them. Weightbearing routines that involve weight lifting, walking, running, hiking and dancing are best for strengthening bones. These activities, done three to four times a week, have been shown to boost bone density in the upper body and upper thighs, which are particularly prone to fractures when bones are weakened.
While any exercise is better than no exercise, people with osteoporosis should not use excessively heavy weights or engage in overly vigorous activity, which can put them at a higher risk for fractures.
better, of course. And whenever you begin an exercise regimen, or choose to add herbs or supplements to your diet, speak with your physician first to ensure that you make the right decisions for your health.
What cannot be stressed enough is that a focus on building healthy bones is advantageous at any age, the younger the

r. Kathryn Wells George is a gynecologist dedicated to women’s health. She brings to her practice a personal approach to each patient, a warm bedside manner, and a deep clinical background. After working primarily in obstetrics and delivering over 4,000 babies, Dr. George realized that what women were asking for was time to discuss and treat their intimate needs with a different focus from what goes on in the normal gynecology visit. It was then that she decided to focus on management of sexual health concerns and menopause. She is the first gynecologist to offer vulvovaginal rejuvenation in Morris and Union County. Dr. George’s protocol calls for the use of ThermiVA, an FDA-approved, non-surgical procedure that is groundbreaking. It addresses multiple symptoms that affect women’s overall quality of life. Over the course of three treatments, one month apart, women can restore and revive feminine wellness without anesthesia or discomfort. There is a recommended annual maintenance followup treatment. Dr. George is now bringing her expertise to the Neigel Center for Cosmetic and Laser Surgery located at 254 Colunbia Turnpike in Florham Park. Treatments are offered at the Neigel Center on select Tuesdays and Fridays (eyelid.com) 973-410-1100.

priorities?” If not, take some names out and add in others who are integral to helping you build your business.
hange is hard for many people. But really, it’s what makes life exciting. Changing our minds, habits, environment and the people with whom we surround ourselves. Mixing things up and constantly learning. Not settling for the same old thing. Here’s a profound statement… if you want to make changes in your life, you have to make changes in your life. It’s easy to do the things you’ve always done and do them the way you’ve always done them. It’s a lot harder, and a lot more rewarding, to be proactive and constantly look for ways to improve. Making major changes can be difficult. But often, taking small steps makes the biggest difference. For instance: • Change your favorites. Some people keep a list of their top 20 contacts on their phone. These are the 20 business-related people you may call the most; perhaps they’re your priority customers. As business situations change, it may be time to ask “Are these 20 people still my highest
• Change your surroundings. It’s hard to ignore things that are right in front of you. My walls are covered with reminders of projects I’m involved in, projects I hope to be involved in and achievements I can celebrate. When I walk into my office, I can see where I’ve been, where I am and where I’m going. This is my “war room,” and it can’t remain static. Life is made up of adjustments, compromises and sacrifices; we must be steadfast in moving toward our goals, yet realistic in our willingness to make changes to achieve them.
product or Barry Farber service look for unusual ways to improve and increase the distribution of your product and services to market. Make a small change every day. Look at your desk and work environment. Papers and other things collect on our desks and end up obscuring important documents. Every once in a while, move those papers around. Clean out one drawer, and you might be surprised at what you find. You don’t need to make radical changes. Instead, I dare you to make small, directed changes every day to alter and improve the way you spend your time.
• Change your knowledge level. The only way you’re going to move to a higher level is by making changes based on what you know about your profession. Explore new ways—like social media—to connect with others in your field or make new partnerships that can add value to your larger goal. Use their strengths to bolster your weaknesses, and vice versa. If you’re selling a
The secret to change is to focus on the opportunities of the new path, not on the comfort of a worn trail. Ask yourself, “What can I do for the next hour that will be the most productive use of my time?” When you think like that, all your activities become focused and honed. The end result is made up of 100 well-done activities. Collectively, they help you make the breakthrough to the changes you want in your life.
