People engage the advice

and expertise of a retire-ment and estate plan-

ning specialist to better serve

themselves, their spouses and

their families financially. It ismy goal in this column to help

the readers of Life and

Leisure circumvent the pot-

holes that line the financialroad by answering the ques-

tions that you or your neigh-

bors have about the task of per-

sonal financial management.When weve used up the allot-

ment of days given to us by

God, most people would

choose to endow their lovedones with as much wealth as

possible to lessen the financial

burden of their journey

through life. For me as a father

of four, this component of

proper retirement and estate

planning is the most urgent

matter.

My children were born

into a much different America

than I was one with fewer

opportunities for success andwith a greater cost to prosper

and survive. I find it impera-

tive to do my best to provide

for my kids future to the best of

my ability. In addition, the

challenge to provide for ones

own financial future, resulting

in a golden retirement, has

become a struggle for more and

more people approaching 65

today. The fastest growing seg-

ment of our population is peo-ple over 90! There are tens of

thousands of people exceeding

age 100 and the insurance

industry mortality table now

extends to age 121 imagine

that! A great deal of people will

outlive their money, but not if

they own longevity insurance!

Ever heard of it?

Education pertaining to

profitable retirement planning

never materialized in the public

school system, probablybecause they couldnt find

qualified people to teach the

classes. But, they can teach stu-

dents how to conjugate a verb

in four languages and make at

least two years of foreign lan-

guage studies a requirement,

when the only foreign language

that is necessary to master is

spelled M-O-N-E-Y! Money

management must be a manda-

tory course in high school. Thefact that it isnt in the majority

of school systems amazes me!

Therefore, every high school

graduate must get the necessary

financial education somehow

and somewhere else in order to

survive!December begins the gift-

giving season. I would like to

suggest the perfect universal

gift that no one I know has ever

been unhappy with or returned.

The perfect gift wouldnt break

the budget, yet it would offer a

level of security and peace of

mind that has no equal. WhatIm describing is financial secu-

rity through the purchase of, or

upgrade to, your current life

insurance policy. A properly

designed policy can offer many

benefits to both the owner and

the beneficiaries, today and in

the future. It can be designed

with one single premium or

funded annually over a period

of years. The policy would offer

tax-free accumulation of cash,

access to the cash in the event

of an emergency, a tax-advan-taged retirement income for

the owner and ultimately, a

tax-free death benefit for the

beneficiaries. It truly is the gift

that keeps on giving and has

some amazing unparalleled

opportunities.

My advice is to take a

moment to call and ask mehow the magic of life insur-

ance can benefit all of the

people on your gift-giving list.

This isnt your fathers life

insurance policy any more; you

owe it to yourself and your fam-

ily to check out what is avail-

able today and I would be hon-

ored to take you on a no-cost,

no-obligation life insurance

tour!

Financial planning is real-

ly not all about the money, but

more about you, your spouseand your kids, as these people

are the most important factors

in your life. If you have neglect-

ed to bring retirement and

estate planning to the forefront

of your priority list, I strongly

suggest that this holiday season

you do so. In addition to a New

Years Resolution for 2013,

make this a 2012 year-end

estate-planning commitment!

Id like to take this oppor-

tunity to wish all of my readers

a wonderfully joyous holiday

season filled with good health,happiness and limitless pros-

perity! Thank you for opening

this newspaper and reading my

column each issue and I hope

to see you in person for the

guided life insurance tour

before the end of the year or at

one of our free upcoming APG

financial and educational

workshops scheduled for next

year, as advertised in this paper.

Look for our green flier in

February. Call today!

Merry Christmas, Happy

Chanukah and Happy NewYear, too!

Tooth sensitivity affects

most of us during our

lifetime. It can be a

temporary, intermittent symp-

tom indicating dentin hyper-sensitivity. Tooth sensitivity

can also be a prolonged,

chronic problem indicating

permanent nerve (pulp) dam-

age to the tooth.

A reversible pulpit, as

described in part three, is ashort, temporary, sharp pain

that stops when cold or heat

is removed from the tooth.

Many patients have felt simi-

lar sensitivity when theyve

had a deep filling or crown

(cap) placed on or in the livetooth. This temporary

inflammation can last a few

weeks, and in many cases,

Advil, ibuprofen, Aspirin, or

other over-the-counter anti-

inflammatories relieve the

pain quickly. When medica-tion does not help, or there is

irreversible pulpitis with seri-

ous, permanent damage to

the pulp, the best treatment

is to remove the nerve during

a root canal treatment. This

treatment may save the tooth

indefinitely when restored

with a crown. Unfortunately,

the only other way to treat a

tooth that has abscessed is

to remove it.Nowadays, the constant

use of teeth whitening prod-

ucts may be dangerous to

the health and sensitivity of

a tooth in the future.

Whitening products, wheth-

er-over-the-counter or given

by a dental professional, end

up dehydrating the water inthe dentinal tubules. This is

a side effect of whitening.

Constant use of these prod-

ucts can cause permanent

dentin hypersensitivity, pulp

damage, and brittle teeth in

later years. There are very

few studies that back up this

statement, but it is the new

hot topic in the dental pro-

fession.

Treatment of dentinhypersensitivity is done in

various ways. They all act to

close or to block the dentinal

tubules. The sensitivity

toothpaste Sensodyne con-

tains potassium nitrate,

which appears to act on the

nerve, blocking its pain sig-

nal to the brain. Other treat-

ments include fluoride, var-

nish, GLUMA, dental resins

or adhesives (bonding),lasers, fillings, and calcium

hydroxide.

All of the above treat-

ments are available in my

office and may be used

according to each individ-

uals necessity.

Tooth sensitivity is a

common problem when it

persists. It should not beignored. Call us today if you

are finding that tooth sensi-

tivity is bothering you.

As a Penn State stu-

dent preparing to

become a speech

therapist, Melanie Adelman

has learned of the direct con-

nection between how well a

person hears and their ability

to communicate.

It is my vision to edu-

cate people about the con-

nection between hearing aids

and speech, and the great

need for hearing aids, said

Adelman, who speaks to

businesses and medical

offices to spread the word.

So many are surprised to

hear how many people who

need hearing aids cannot

afford them. Plus, people

have lost their jobs and their

insurance, which makes the

problem even more wide-

spread.

Thats why Adelman started

Hear2Help, which collects

used hearing aids and deliv-

ers them to the Wayne Lions

Club, where they are refur-

bished and donated to those

in need.

Adelman reached out to

Kristin Difidi, director of

philanthropy at Cedar Crest

in Riverdale. As soon as she

heard the goals of

Hear2Help, Difidi was excit-

ed to become involved. On

Thanksgiving, Cedar Crest

began an ongoing hearing aid

collection that will last until

after Christmas. Lots of hear-

ing aids have already been

donated by the residents and

staff.

I am so grateful for the

help that Cedar Crest gave

me, said Adelman, and I

want to thank everyone who

donated.

Destruction and loss

does not have to come

twice Azrak &

Associates can help protect you

Hurricane Sandy came

upon us like a thief in the

night, robbing us of power,

light, heat, electricity and all

those precious things we take

for granted. For many of us, the

storm broke into our homes,

wrecked them and destroyed

valuable contents, just like a

brutal and determined thief.

Hurricane Sandy has

escaped, but coming behind

her destruction is the certainty

that others lie in wait to

pounce upon and further hurt

the victims of Sandy. These are

thieves of another sort: people

who seek to prey upon the

weak and weary, victims of the

storm who are in desperate

need of repair services as they

try to get their lives and proper-

ty back to normal.

For those needing con-

struction services, here is some

advice: although many con-

tractors are reputable, when

there is a disaster there are sim-

ply not enough companies to

service the consumers. This is

the time that unethical con-

tractors will solicit you.

We at Azrak & Associates

can help you if you are consid-

ering doing business with a

known or unknown contractor

with an offer of materials or

services for home and property

repair, reconstruction and

restoration work. Do not pro-

ceed or pay any money in

advance without a written con-

tract, and have that contract

reviewed by our office. At the

same time we have the ability

to research suits against con-

tractors for fraud or failure to

perform the promised work.

It is times like these when

people are most vulnerable and

desperate to get their lives and

homes and property back to

normal. They are most likely to

be victimized by unscrupulous

contractors tempted to take

advantage of the situation by

charging too much, promising

too much, and delivering too

little or nothing at all.

In addition, you can be in

need of our services to work

through the complex issues of

your insurance coverage. We

expect arguments by insurance

companies and their attempt to

exclude damages including

property damage and vehicle

damage. To preserve their cash

reserves, your homeowners

insurance or flood insurance

company may attempt to claim

that coverage is denied and

force you to deal with federal

Hurricane Sandy victims: beware the thief in the night!

agencies when, in fact, it

should pay the claim.

We can help to make

sure that your storm losses are

not added to by either unethi-

cal contractors or complex

exclusions of insurance poli-

cies that may not be applica-

ble to you. Call 973-839-9062

for a free consultation and to

discuss your situation. It might

be all you need to avoid con-

fronting another thief in the

night.

spell a Hebrew word that con-

tains a sound not found in

English) is the Jewish Festival

of Lights. Many mistakenly

think that it is the Jewish

Christmas, but that is not the

case; other than occurring at

the same time of the year and

involving gift-giving, these two

holidays have nothing to do

with each other.

So what is Hanukah? The

word Hanukah actually trans-

lates to dedication and it

recalls the miraculous military

victory of the pious Macabees

over the Hellenists who were

restricting Jewish life in

ancient Israel. When the

Macabees won, they rededicat-

ed the temple in Jerusalem to

the service of God, hence the

name of the holiday. There is a

legend that as the Macabees

prepared the temple, they

found only one cruise of oil fit

to be used to light the Menorah

for one day, but that they lit it

anyway and it miraculously

burned for eight days until

more oil was available for the

Menorah. This is why

Hanukah is known as the

Festival of Lights and is com-

memorated with the lighting of

a Hanukiyah, a nine-branched

candelabra to commemorate

the eight-day holiday.

The annual observance of

Hanukah reminds us to remain

dedicated and true to God.

The light of the Hanukah can-

dles reminds us that miracles

can happen. Recalling

the Macabees reminds

us of the importance

of fighting for what

we believe in, for reli-

gious freedom. As

Americans, we have

much to be grateful for we

live in a free nation that pro-

motes religious tolerance, but

with freedom comes responsi-

bility. We need to support our

troops that defend these free-

doms around the globe. We

need to help those who live in

other parts of the world that do

not have these freedoms,

most notably many

African nations.

And we need to

share the bounty

that is ours with

those less fortu-

nate here in our own

communities.

Hanukah is a home-

based holiday that gives us the

opportunity to gather with

family and friends to cele-

brate, to remember and

like the Macabees to try to

make a difference, even

though the odds are over-

whelmingly against us. May

the light of the Hanukah can-

dles motivate you to make a

difference and may 2013 be a

year of health, happiness and

peace for one and all.

Happy Chanukah By Rabbi Randall Mark

Most people who are

talking about or

inquiring about cat

urination behavior are having

some undesirable issues at

home. No one really discusses

this when his kitty is using the

litter box as it should. Its when

it starts doing its business right

outside the litter box, on the

couch, or on your laundry in

the bottom of the closet that it

becomes a concern.

Believe it or not, if you are

troubled with house-soiling,

you are certainly not alone.

This is the most common

behavioral problem that cat

owners have to deal with.

Interestingly, many people

think that its for revenge.

Well, contrary to popular

belief, its not all about you! It

could be completely coinciden-

tal that your cat urinated on

the carpet at the same time you

decided to go away for a few

days. Then again, maybe the

neighbor you had watching it

forgot to give it its treats!

In all truthfulness, experts

say that cats do not have cogni-

tive abilities to calculate such

revenge. Its also important to

understand that your cat would

have to think that relieving

itself is a negative act if revenge

was the case, when really its

only the human owners who

view this act that way.

Litter Box Issues

It is quite common for cats to

avoid their litter box for

one reason or another.

Their behavior could be the

result of:

Changing Litter. Some litter

irritates certain cats. This could

be due to texture or even going

from non-scented to scent.

Some even make an unpleasant

dust cloud that your cat may

not care for.

Dirty. Would you want to

step over your own soiled areas

to relieve yourself? Well, nei-

ther does your cat. Sometimes

even felines who were fine with

their litter box being cleaned

once a day get a little more

fussy as they age and need it

cleaned more often.

Location. Have you moved

the litter box? If not, have you

moved something close to it

like suitcases, sporting equip-

ment, etc.? Cats can be very

sensitive to changes in their

surroundings.

Medical Issues

Many people get so caught up

in thinking that their cat

is being vindictive that

they fail to realize that

there could be health

concerns. Urinary tract

infections or cystitis

(inflammation of the

bladder) are often to

blame which can cause

frequent urination. In this case,

its often hard for the cat to get

to the litter box in time.

Liver, thyroid, and kidney

diseases, intestinal tract tumors

and parasites, and rectum or

colon inflammation can be to

blame as well. Its also impor-

tant to understand that as cats

get older, age-related issues like

muscular disease, disorders of

the nervous system and arthri-

tis can all make getting in and

out of the litter box a chal-

lenge.

Additional Cat

Have you brought in another

cat or could another cat you

already have be getting old and

a little bossier? Even a sweet

feline who has always shared

her litter box may be scared to

use it if her older brother is

having some territorial issues.

Quite often, adding a second

litter box in a different location

will often help with this cat uri-

nation behavior.

Holiday shopping with

kids can be fun. Kids

enjoy giving gifts,

and bringing them along on

shopping excursions to offer

their input can make the sea-

son that much more special

for youngsters.

But bringing the little

ones along on a holiday shop-

ping trip can also be tricky, as

kids can easily grow tired or

bored at the mall. The follow-

ing are a few tips to ensure

kids and adults enjoy their

holiday shopping trips togeth-

er.

Bring backup. Kids might

find shopping enjoyable at the

outset, but visiting store after

store can drain them of that

enthusiasm. To quell the

inevitable boredom, bring

along some backup, such as a

handheld video game or a

tablet or e-reader on which

kids can watch a favorite film

or television show.

Choose your shopping desti-

nation wisely. All malls and

retailers are certainly not

equal, especially when kids

will be accompanying you for

a day of shopping. Some malls

offer attractions for kids, such

as a merry-go-round or a live

performance with a holiday

theme. Such attractions pro-

vide some balance to a shop-

ping trip, giving kids some-

thing to look forward to

between store visits.

Dont be a Scrooge. An ice

cream cone, some holiday

cookies or a hot chocolate

might not be the healthiest

fare for youngsters, but such

items can make a shopping

excursion that much more

enjoyable. When shopping

with kids in tow, relax a

youngsters dietary restrictions

so they can enjoy some holi-

day treats while shopping till

they drop.

Give kids some spending

money. Kids are more likely to

engage themselves in a holi-

day shopping trip if they have

some spending money of their

own. Offer children some

money before leaving the

house, and tell them the

money is theirs to spend on

gifts as they see fit. Kids might

just enjoy looking for the per-

fect gift and hunting down a

holiday bargain as much as

Mom and Dad.

Keep kids engaged and occupied during holiday shopping trips

Entertaining is part of

the holiday season

when hosts and host-

esses open their homes to

many friends and family to

celebrate a time of giving and

togetherness. Gifts for the

host and/or hostess can show

appreciation to the men and

women who go above and

beyond.

A hostess gift can be as

simple or as extravagant

as your budget allows.

Many people tend to

gravitate toward food-

related gifts because of

their simplicity and the

idea that they can be

served at the gathering

of friends and family.

But conventional eti-

quette suggests that

hosts and hostesses are

not obligated to serve

the beverages or foods

guests bring and should

not feel ashamed to reserve

them for their own private

use. So guests may want to

think outside the box when

gifting holiday hosts this sea-

son. Here are some ideas to

consider.

Flavored dipping oils: Herb-

infused oils lend a different

taste to prepared foods and

also can be used as a bread gar-

nish in lieu of butter. Pair a

flavored oil with a loaf of

gourmet bread and include a

decorative, shallow bowl that

can be used for the oil.

Wine caddy: The number of

restaurants that enable you

to bring your own beverages

has multiplied. This means

that diners can benefit from

practical ways to transport

their favorite vintage from

home to the table. Wine cad-

dies and holders come in

many different designs, from

some that resemble a

womans clutch to suitcase-

inspired designs.

After-dinner treat: Put

together a basket of foods

that can be served after din-

ner. A citrusy palate cleanser,

like lemon-infused butter

cookies, fresh fruit and a

sparkling beverage may fit

the bill perfectly. Specialty

stores often sell gift towers

this time of year that package

together delicious treats.

Scented sugars: Oil isnt the

only condiment that can be

infused with aroma and addi-

tional flavor. Purchase can-

ning jars and fill them with

your favorite brand of granu-

lated sugar. Add flavorings,

such as cinnamon sticks,

vanilla beans, mint leaves, or

hazelnuts, to give foods a

subtle essence of flavor. Tie a

bow around the jar and pres-

ent it as a thoughtful gift.

Garden gift basket: Al-

though the cold weather is

here, a garden gift basket can

still make a welcome gift.

Include flower seeds, fer-

tilizer sticks, a garden

trowel, a pair of gardening

gloves and any other

essentials you can think

of.

Spa gift certificate:

Enter-taining is hard work

and a hostess may enjoy some

time to recuperate once the

holidays have come and

gone. A gift certificate for

a facial or massage will pro-

vide at least an hour of pam-

pering.

Homemade treats: Much in

the way a hand-written

thank-you note can convey

how much you appreciate a

gift; a handmade gift can tell

a host that you were thankful

to be invited to an event. If

you prepare a signature dish,

whip it up and bring it along.

Its also easy to create some

simple garnishes and package

them in a decorative tin or

jar. Think homemade salsa or

a homemade chocolate

ganache sauce.

Breakfast in bed: Enable

the host and hostess to sleep

in the next day by having

breakfast all ready to go. Put

together a basket or tray with

individual bottles of juice,

packets of tea or instant cof-

fee and some gourmet

muffins or scones. Add a jar

of jam and some small

spreading knives so breakfast

can be served with minimal

hassle.

There are many gifts

that can treat a host or host-

ess to something special as a

token of appreciation for

opening up his or her home

during the holiday season.

In April 2012, a wildfire

broke out in a compost pile

in an area on Staten Island,

NY, that formerly housed the

Fresh Kills Landfill. Residents

across the island worried if the

billowing smoke rising into the

sky was toxic in nature as a

result of the years of trash that

had been buried in the soil.

Though its understand-

able to worry about contami-

nants that could be polluting

outdoor air, its important not

to overlook indoor air quality

as well.

According to the

Environmental Protection

Agency, air inside peoples

homes can be two to five times

more polluted than air outside

the home. Although the EPA

regulates the quality of outdoor

air and monitors potential con-

taminants, the air inside ones

home is his or her own domain.

Oftentimes, people do not real-

ize how polluted the air in their

homes and businesses can be.

Cigarette smoke, radon, carbon

monoxide, lead-laden dust

from old paints, dirt-filled car-

pet, household cleaners, and

furniture made with wood glue

containing formaldehyde are

all sources of indoor air pollu-

tion. Even cooking on a gas

stove may introduce high levels

of nitrogen dioxide into the air,

causing respiratory problems.

The National Safety

Council says that Americans

spend about 90 percent of their

time indoors, so poor air quali-

ty can greatly affect personal

health.

There are several steps

that can be taken to improve

the quality of indoor air.

1.Open the windows and let

fresh air circulate. It is impor-

tant to change the air inside of

the home several times a day to

prevent the buildup of pollu-

tants. Even opening windows a

crack can help.

2.Change the filters on home

heating and cooling systems as

the manufacturer suggests.

3.Routinely clean the exhaust

vents in kitchens, bathrooms

and laundry rooms.

4.Consider the installation of

an air purification system in the

home. Or purchase in-room

HEPA filters.

5.Routinely clean bedding used

by pets and groom animals to

remove shedded fur.

6.Avoid the use of toxic

cleaning products. Thoroughly

cleanse the air by opening win-

dows after doing any cleaning.

7.Use natural pest control pro-

cedures inside when possible.

8.Introduce more plants to the

home, which naturally filter air.

9.Use detectors to test for radon

and carbon monoxide in the

home. If there are high levels

present, go outside and investi-

gate ways to identify the prob-

lem and remedy the situation.

Often times, buying a

home opens up abottomless pit of

opportunities for projects

and improvements. While

some homeowners engage in

different repairs and fix-ups

out of necessity, many others

like to freshen-up their

spaces out of personal prefer-

ence instead of need. But

even the most well-inten-

tioned projects can be way-

laid if budgets are tight.

What many homeown-

ers may not realize is thatthere are many ways to make

updates and changes to a

home that do not require a

major overhaul or a large

price tag. The following are

seven projects that wont

break the bank.

1.Move around furniture.

You may be able to change

the look of a room without

spending any money. Interior

designers know how to

arrange furniture for maxi-

mum appeal, but the averagehomeowner can do it, too.

Find a focal point in the

room and angle the furniture

toward it. Dont make the

focal point the television,

however. Try changing the

placement of chairs and

sofas. Simply moving a curio

cabinet from one corner to

another may also make a dif-

ference.

2.Add lighting. Lighting at

different levels in the room

can create a vibrant impact.Many homeowners mistak-

enly put in a couple of table

lamps and think that will be

adequate. However, properly

illuminating a room means

varying the lighting to create

different moods at different

times. Plus, more light can

make a room feel more wel-

coming.

3.Add new pillows or

drapes. Changing a fewaspects of a room can give it

an entirely new look. If you

want to add a splash of color,

think about incorporating

some new throw pillows or

change the curtains. An

accessory here and there in a

bright color also can incor-

porate a new hue without it

being overwhelming.

4.Change knobs or small

accents. Give a room a new

look by focusing on the smalldetails. Switch out cabinet

knobs for something updated

and modern. Take inventory

of wall outlets and light

switches and think about

selecting new ones that coor-

dinate with your home decor.

5.Use plants. Empty corners

or spots youre not certain

how to fill may benefit from a

plant. Plants are inexpensive

ways to add instant color andvisual appeal to a room. Plus,

having live plants can help

improve indoor air by filter-

ing out contaminants. Ahome with plants also feels

cozier.

6.Hang new wall art. It may

be time to look at your pho-

tos and artwork and make a

few adjustments. Finding

new prints to hang could

instantly change a rooms

ambience. And you neednt

spend a lot of money on pro-

fessional photography, either.

Grab your camera and take afew close-up shots of flowers

or take in landscape scenery.

Many of todays home print-

ers can produce professional-quality prints in minutes.

7.Try a new coat of paint.

After youve exhausted other

avenues, choosing a new paint

color may be the new look you

desire. Painting is one of the

least expensive yet most dra-

matic methods of changing a

homes interior. With dozens

of hues to choose from, and

new apps that enable you to

take snapshots of things innature or in your life and

match them up to a paint

color, you will have scores of

opportunities to explore freshnew colors for your home.

When you get inspired to

make improvements to the

home but fear how much itmay take out of your wallet,

consider inexpensive tricks

that can induce a big wow

factor.

Ever wonder where to

get the best gnocchi?Frustrated that you

cant find pasta fagioli the

way Nona used to make it?

There is so much Italian cul-

ture in Northern New Jersey,but the most authentic of it is

tucked away. You once had to

rely on your cousins uncles

great aunt to share the best

spots with you, but now New

Jersey has a new online tool,

making Italian discoveries all

the more easy. Its called eFoti

Espresso Culture, and this site

is founded on the belief that

there are a lot of really great

things happening for Italianculture in the Northern New

Jersey area and that people

need to hear about them!

The founder of eFoti

Espresso Culture, Michael

Foti, Jr., was inspired by his

girlfriends father, who is the

chef and owner of Casa

Filippo on Bloomfield Ave-nue in Caldwell.

Saverio cooks

every dish that comes

out of the kitchen and

has an incredibly loyalcustomer base, said

Foti. The restaurant has been

in business almost 12 years

and has relied almost exclu-

sively on positive word-of-

mouth advertising.

Everyone knows word-

of-mouth advertising is and

always has been the most

valuable and cost-effective

way of getting a message out

there. But the reach is only asbroad as the mouths, said

Foti. I thought, what if there

was a trusted third-party voice

of the community some-

one who loves everything

authentic Italian, seeks out

the best Italian restaurants

and is involved in various

ways within the Italiancommunities? He sought

to become that

voice, and eFoti Espresso

Culture was born. The ideawas to share all the best finds

in the area and serve espresso-

sized bits of infor-

mation about

them.

The eFoti

site strives to be

the most trusted,

go-to resource for

local Italian cul-

tural information.

Whether youreseeking a great

new restaurant,

Italian language

courses, local spe-

cialty goods, an

Italian service

organization or

something else.

The sites passion

explodes in

blotches of red,

white and green,eager and excited

to share whats been uncov-

ered so that others mightenjoy it, too.

We hope to build a

vibrant community that

shares back with us. If were

able to put a spotlight on

local businesses and organiza-

tions that benefits them, then

weve accomplished what we

set out to do, said Foti.

espresso shot of Italian cul-

ture at www.efoti.com.
