LET TER TO THE EDI TOR
Thank you for your article, “Here Comes the Sun,”
(by Eileen Gallagher) about local efforts to promote
solar energy, including the Solarize Somers-New
Castle campaign.
As program administrators of Solarize Westchester, we wanted
to provide an update on the results of the Somers-New Castle
campaign, which ended March 31, and salute those involved with
it. Thanks to the terrific work of the Solarize Somers-New Castle
community team (which included members of both the New Castle
Sustainability Advisory Board and the Somers Energy & Environment Committee, among others) and the selected residential solar
installer, Direct Energy Solar, the results were outstanding.
Over 475 inquiries were received, and 78 homeowners signed contracts for solar systems, which together will produce over 720 kW
of clean, renewable energy. In addition, to reward Somers and New
Castle for their hard work and commitment to solar, Direct Energy
Solar is donating one 5kW system to each town for a public purpose
(location to be determined).

Giving Back to Her Community Is a Way of Life
for Armonk’s Susan Geffen
By Stacey Pfeffer
When it comes to giving back to
their community, there are certain
people in Armonk who go above and
beyond. They choose to spend their
time volunteering for the betterment
of the community and are passionate about making a difference for
the town. Susan Geffen, a longtime
Armonk resident, is exactly this type
of person and will be the recipient of
the Armonk Chamber of Commerce
Citizen of the Year award later this
month at the Whippoorwill Club.
She will be honored at a special event
there on May 23rd featuring lunch and
a golf outing as well as cocktails and a
dinner reception.
“Susan has enriched the community
through her long-standing volunteer
commitment to the arts, town beautification, etc. Because of her, the town
has become a much better place. She
envelopes everything good about the
Town of North Castle and Armonk;
she lives it and loves it,” said Neal
Schwartz, President of the Armonk
Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber
has extensive knowledge of who has
been active in Armonk organizations
throughout the years and also gains
input from town residents on potential nominees.
Geffen, originally from Mount
Vernon, grew up in a civic-minded
family. Her father, a lawyer, was always
doing pro bono work for people and her
mother was also actively involved in
the community. Geffen’s four children
and even her nine grandchildren are
following in her footsteps, with all of
them deeply involved in their communities. “All of them are very civicminded. That is part of my legacy and
that is thrilling,” Geffen explains.
As a full-time interior designer raising a family here, Geffen did not have a
lot of time for community involvement
when she first moved to this “sleepy
hamlet” in 1972, though she was involved in volunteer efforts through her
children’s schools. “When you move
into Armonk and are raising kids here
you are pulling out of the community.
You are taking and then there’s a moment when you have to give back to
the community,” says Geffen. For Geffen, her turning point came after living
abroad for three-and-a-half years in
Japan in the 1980s with her nowdeceased first husband, an attorney for
IBM. Upon their return to Armonk,
they decided that it was time to give
back and both dove into helping the
community on various projects.
“We all have choices in our lives and
I found that by giving back I was getting so much more out of it. I’ve made
incredible friends on the boards that I
sit on and learned about different organizations and different subjects such
as landmark preservation,” Geffen
notes. Marian Hamilton, a longtime
resident involved in community activities with Geffen on the Friends of the
North Castle Public Library and the
Armonk Outdoor Art Show, explains
that “Susan epitomizes all that is
special and meaningful in communitymindedness. Her volunteer contributions of her 40-plus years of living in
Armonk have been widespread, from
how our town looks (thanks to being
on the Architectural Review Board), to
our library (being President and board
member of the Friends of the North
Castle Public Library), President of the
Whippoorwill Association, member of
the Historical Society and the Armonk
Outdoor Art Show. She even gets
dressed in colonial garb twice a year
to teach fourth graders how to make
butter. She is the cream of the crop!”
Hamilton will be one of the speakers at
the Chamber of Commerce event.
Geffen is deeply committed to promoting the arts in Armonk. During the
1990s, Geffen became involved with
the North Castle Library when she was
designing a theater and a children’s
room for it. After working on the project for two years, the President of the
North Castle Friends of the Library
asked her to join the board of the
organization. The North Castle Friends
of the Library organizes the Armonk
Outdoor Art Show, an annual event
held in the fall. Net proceeds from the
event, now in its 55th year, benefit the
library. Geffen’s keen eye for design
has been very useful for the Art Show
as she sits on the jury with twelve
other members reviewing all of the
show’s entries. “Here’s this little town
that puts on this phenomenal show. It
is now ranked as one of the top 50 art
shows in the country by various arts
organizations. It’s just a terrific accomplishment,” comments Geffen.
The Friends of the Library also
funds the Armonk Players, a community theater group. Geffen, a lifelong
theater lover, first became involved
with theater production while living
in Japan. Barbara Simonetti, another
Armonk resident who was also living
in Tokyo at the time, asked Geffen to
stage-manage a show for the Tokyo
Players, a theater group. Although
Geffen had no theater background, she
loved the experience and wound up
doing two more productions for the
group while living abroad. When she
returned to Armonk, she was excited
that the library was building a theater
and helped put on the theater’s first
production, Love Letters, a two person
reading by A.R. Gurney.
“The town embraced that production and we thought, ‘How can we
[The Friends of the Library] take this
to the next level?’ And we formed the
Armonk Players,” Geffen reminisces.
“Turns out there are a lot of talented
people in the community and we [the
Armonk Players] are now coming up to
our 35th or 36th production.”
Geffen is also pleased that she was
instrumental in getting the Friends
of the Library to become the “angel”
for the Armonk Players. “Part of the
Friends of the Library’s mission is to
bring culture to our community, so
that the Armonk Players never have
to worry about fundraising, which
so many other local theater groups
spend a great deal of time on.” Noting
that Armonk also has two additional
theater groups, Geffen remarks that
“you can go to the theater three times
a season here and never even leave
town.” When she does leave town, Geffen doesn’t venture far. She can often
be seen at ArtsWestchester events or
attending a show as a board member at
the Copland House in Cortland Manor.
With Geffen’s background in interior design, she also sits on the town’s
architectural review board. When Armonk Square opened, she worked with
the developers to maintain a certain
aesthetic and the board has ensured
that all local businesses adhere to signage guidelines that help preserve the
town’s beauty.
Despite her busy schedule serving
on various town boards and organizations, Geffen still prefers to not be in
the spotlight and instead work quietly
and “remain under the radar.” She feels
honored, though, to accept the award
and several of her children will be in
attendance on May 23rd at the Whippoorwill Club event.
When speaking with Geffen, it’s
obvious that she loves this town and
cares deeply about it. Because some of
her children now live in other parts of
the country, she often travels to visit
them. “People always ask me, ‘What’s
my favorite trip?’ I always say, ‘Home
from the airport.’ There’s nothing
better than getting off Exit 2 on 684
and driving past the reservoir. It’s just
beautiful here. I want the future of Armonk to be a place where we preserve
our amazing open space, maintain
a good balance of our community
organizations and ensure that our kids
can get a good education.” With volunteers like Geffen, Armonk’s future is
certainly in good hands.

Our Hospital, Our Doctors, Our Neighbors

Whether it’s for the

of a child or a visit to

we, as a community, rely
on our hospital to be
there in times of need.
Over $100 million has
been raised from private
donors and organizations
since before its inception
in 1916. In fact, it was
fundraising that enabled
the founders to build the
first hospital. “Northern

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, Inside
Chappaqua & Inside Armonk Magazines
wanted to focus on women’s health in
particular and highlight some of the doctors, directors, and volunteers at Northern Westchester Hospital.
Iris Wertheim, M.D.
Director, Gynecologic Oncology Program
at NWH; Columbia University College
of Physicians & Surgeons; Residency:
Brigham & Women’s Hospital (a Harvard
University Hospital)
Dr. Wertheim
brings along 20
years of surgical
experience and is
highly trained in
da Vinci robotassisted gynecologic surgery.
Dr. Wertheim
performs three to
Dr. Iris Wertheim
six surgeries per
week, mainly hysterectomies related
to endometrial cancer. “The fact that
the da Vinci robot is ergonomically designed for the surgeon is truly a huge
advancement,” says Dr. Wertheim.
The surgeon is in complete control and
sits comfortably using high-definition
3D imaging and able to maneuver
controls with precision. The advantages of minimally invasive roboticassisted surgery are smaller incisions,
decreased blood loss, lower risk of
infection, and a faster recovery period.
Although under-reported, endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the
uterus) is the most common form of
gynecological cancer in women in the
United States. Most at risk are postmenopausal women between ages 55
and 64. Endometrial cancer is caused
by the overproduction of estrogen.
Since the uterine lining has estrogen
receptors, it makes the uterus highly
reactive to estrogen.
The elevated levels of estrogen circulating in the bloodstream can overstimulate the cells in the uterus, which
could lead to uncontrolled growth that
can turn into cancer. The most common symptom of endometrial cancer
is bleeding after menopause or excessive or irregular bleeding in non-menopausal women. “It’s important to see
your gynecologist at the first sign of
abnormal bleeding. Like for many cancers, early diagnosis can help improve
outcome,” states Dr. Wertheim.
Interestingly, obesity is the largest
cause of endometrial cancer in American women. Having a BMI greater than
30 is considered obese. Excess fat cells
store a hormone, androstenedione,
which converts to estrogen. Because
the obesity rate has risen in recent
years, so has the risk of endometrial
cancer. However, the use of certain
drugs, hypertension, familial cancer,
and diabetes can also be contributing
factors. “A patient with a new cancer
diagnosis is often traumatized and
mostly needs compassion and understanding. Once the cancer treatment
is complete, it can be an opportunity
to encourage healthy lifestyle choices,”
says Dr. Wertheim.
Every year, Dr. Wertheim travels on
surgical missions with a team of six,
including three surgeons, one anesthesiologist, and two nurses. The team
has been to Honduras, Bolivia, and
Uganda. This October, the team will
travel again to Honduras to perform
gynecological procedures.
Dr. Wertheim resides in Chappaqua
with her husband, Dr. David Bereck and
two children: Hannah, 19, a freshman
at Barnard, and Henry, 16, a junior at
Greeley. She stresses the importance
of preventative measures for raising a
healthier generation. “Maintaining a
healthy weight with diet and exercise is
very important.”
Bonnie Litvack,
M.D.
Medical Director,
Women’s Imaging
Center at NWH
Under the
leadership of
Dr. Litvack, the
American ColDr. Bonnie Litvack
lege of Radiology
has acknowledged NWH’s Women’s
Imaging Center as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence. Dr. Litvack
has been with NWH since 2006 and
brings along expertise in all aspects of
women’s imaging. The latest cuttingedge technology is 3D mammography
(or breast tomosynthesis) which gives
a more accurate image of the breast. It
has the same compression but reads
thinner sections through the breast,
giving it a clearer image. 3D imaging
detects more cancerous masses, distortions, and micro-calcifications. In
addition, 3D technology has less false
positives and less call back rates. The
two other supplemental screenings are
sonograms and MRIs, which pick up
on another three percent of cancers.
When it comes to breast health,
it’s all about being proactive. “Annual
mammograms starting at the age of 40
have been proven to save lives through
early detection,” says
Dr. Litvack.
There’s a lot
of information swirling around
the internet
about breast
cancer. The
information can be
overwhelming and often
inaccurate.
To discern
myth from fact, Dr. Litvack suggests
referring to trusted websites. NWH’s
website, nwhc.net, lists a number
of trustworthy links. Another good
resource is the Society of Breast Imaging’s link, endtheconfusion.org. Since
the 1980s, when regular mammography screening began, breast cancer
death rates decreased by 30 percent.
The typical age to have your first
mammogram is 40, unless there is a
history of breast cancer, then mammograms should start at age 30. However,
75 percent of women do not have high
risk factors, which stresses the importance of mammography screening.
Regular mammogram screenings save
approximately 15,000 to 20,000 lives
in the U.S. each year. Annual visits
to your gynecologist, self and clinical
exams are encouraged before age 40.
Dr. Litvack resides in Chappaqua with
her husband, Craig Penn, and three
children: Sydney, 15 and twin daughters,
Haley and Carly, 9. “NWH is a terrific
hospital. The level of care among the staff
is high. I feel very lucky to work here.”
Dr. Litvack has received numerous
awards and honors and has served as
president of the Westchester County
Medical Society and as president of the
Westchester Academy of Medicine. She
has also served as a delegate for New
York State Radiological Society to the
Medical Society of the State of New York
and is a counselor to the American College of Radiology. She is also an alternate
delegate to the American Medical Association from the Medical Society of the
State of New York.

Dr. Rosenberg
has been with

reconstruction
after the diagnosis
Dr. Michael Rosenberg of breast cancer.
“Our main focus is
to treat the patient as a whole and put
them back on the road to recovery,”
says Dr. Rosenberg. New York State
now requires doctors to have a discussion with breast cancer patients about
the various reconstruction options
available to them during their cancer
surgery. “Combining both procedures
simultaneously enhances the patient’s
aesthetic appearance, and when the
surgeon knows reconstruction is to
follow, he or she is able to ensure wider
margins resulting in lower rates of
recurrence,” notes Dr. Rosenberg.
“Today, there are many reconstructive options available for women with
a diagnosis of breast cancer utilizing
the same techniques as in cosmetic
breast surgery. Unfortunately, we
cannot change the diagnosis of cancer,
but we can empower women to take
control and decide on what’s best for
them. Giving my patients the knowledge to do just that during such a challenging time is extremely important to
me,” says Dr. Rosenberg. In addition
to traditional Western medicine and
support groups, NWH provides a fullcontinuum of care including holistic
integrative medicine, like acupuncture, aromatherapy, reflexology, yoga,
meditation and guided imagery–all designed to treat the patient as a whole.
Dr. Rosenberg resides in Chappaqua
with his wife Lee Gruber, M.D., and four
children: Meryl, 22; Dean, 19; Ashley,
17; and Tyler, 13. Rather than working in
Manhattan, where he attended Columbia
University’s College of Physicians and
Surgeons, he chose to work close to home
to spend more time with his family.

Maria Simonetti
One program Simonetti oversees is NWH’s President’s
Junior Leadership Council consisting
of students from various high schools
including Horace Greeley, Fox Lane,
Byram Hills, John Jay, and Yorktown.
Each year, the council decides on a
public health project targeting peers
via social marketing campaigns, like
underage drinking, smoking, body
image, nutrition, etc. The projects are
designed to grab the attention of their
peers and are jam-packed with vital
information. With the Be Smart Not
Sorry campaign, the council created
at-a-glance fold-up cards that fit in a
wallet, addressing alcohol, alcohol poisoning, and what to do “when things
go awry.” Another campaign targeted
smoking with a shockingly graphic
handout showing the toxic ingredients
in cigarettes.
Over 10 years, the Leadership
program has grown from eight participating students to an impressive 48.
Simonetti also oversees clinical
outreach programs, serving the underserved, and received a grant for a
six-week pilot program focusing on the
Latino community counseling young
mothers on health and nutrition, parent/child togetherness groups, and
exercise classes.
Maria Simonetti grew up in Armonk
and currently resides in Mount Kisco. Her

CSA: A Great Way to Eat Fresh, and Healthy, Meals
By Liz Susman Karp
With the current spotlight on farmto-table eating and eating local, spring
presents an opportune time to sign up
for a share in Community Supported
Agriculture (CSA).
A CSA is a weekly allotment of farmgrown vegetables, usually enough to
feed two to four people. Fruit, eggs,
meat and poultry additions are often
optional. Splitting shares is common.
Some farms are certified organic, others follow organic practices (high certification cost)
or have taken
the NOFA
(National
Organic Farmers Association) pledge
to farming,
marketing
and farm
management
in accordance
with sound
ecological
and economic
principles.

CSA enables
shareholders to obtain fresh,

Harvest Moon Farm &
lends support and security to farmers. That’s got
to make food taste better!
There’s something grounding (no
pun intended) about eating seasonally,
when food reaches its natural peak.
It’s reminiscent of a simpler time, yet
is thoroughly modern. A plant-heavy
diet with few or no processed foods
has proven more nourishing. Fertile
soil fights the effects of global warming. Improved access to better food
offers choice in a food system which
promotes unhealthy foods.
Each week’s share is different. “The
quantity of types of produce varies
week-to-week depending on what is
available–we include all produce we
grow here on our farm,” says Christine
Tartaglia of Harvest Moon Farm & Orchard. “But, for example, the cucumber
crop might be fruiting like crazy one
week and, say, peppers are not, so you
might get more cukes in that box and
no peppers. But that being said, we
know that no one wants an overload of
one type of veggie, so we do our best
to offer a broad range of staples and
new/different items each week.” Visit

CSAs provide a weekly newsletter
with information and recipes. Jenn
Hentel, a member of Roxbury Farm’s

Spotlight on Skin Health:
Up Close and Personal
with Dermatologist
Dr. Lydia Evans
By Stacey Pfeffer
Nestled on a tree-lined section of
King Street close to downtown Chappaqua is the office of dermatologist
Lydia Evans, M.D.. From the minute
you walk into her cozy, yet state-ofthe art office, it’s evident that you’ll
be given individualized treatment and
that she truly takes her time to know
her patients’ concerns. Dr. Evans has
been practicing both medical and cosmetic dermatology for more than two
decades in this location and is passionate about treating families in our area.
Dr. Evans was initially studying
both internal medicine and oncology
and clearly remembers her rotation
through dermatology. Although she
fell in love with treating skin conditions, at that point she was already
committed to completing her oncology
residency. After practicing oncology
though for six years, she decided to
switch to dermatology.
“Oncology at that point was not
what it is today. There are lots of
significant strides made forward in the
past years but when I was practicing it
was not the case. I knew oncology was
not the long-term answer for me so
that’s why I went back and completed
another residency in dermatology and
that was clearly the best move I’ve
made,” Dr. Evans notes.
Working in the local community for
so many years, she’s had the privilege
of treating multi-generational families. “I think my longest relationship
is with one family, where I see five
generations of them, including a very
senior grandmother and a relatively
new baby. That’s just one of the many
things that I love about my job,” remarks Dr. Evans.
As the warmer months approach and
sun exposure increases, many patients
come in asking about skin cancer
prevention. But taking care of your
skin “is really a life long proposition,”
explains Dr. Evans. “People tend to be
very careful with their children about
getting their kids to use sunscreen but
are not so diligent themselves. A lot
of proactive work will save a great deal
of aggravation ultimately in terms of
skin health such as preventing cancers
and the cosmetic aspects.” If patients
haven’t been careful about sun protection, visible signs of aging can begin to
appear in their early 30s.
Dr. Evans believes that sunscreen
should be a daily ritual year-round like
flossing your teeth. “Two minutes of
prevention equals long-term remarkable benefits,” she notes. She recommends that people look for a sunscreen with both ultraviolet-A (UVA)
and ultraviolet-B (UVB) protection.
UVA light penetrates glass and UVB
light does not but it is the most burning part of light. The intensity of UVA
light does not change that much from
season to season but driving in your
car you are still exposed to it. “Unfortunately exposure to UVA light is
associated with cosmetic signs of aging
and melanomas,” Dr. Evans said.
In her practice, she recommends
that people use an SPF at least in the
30s or 40s. Higher SPFs don’t necessarily protect better, they just protect
for a longer period. There is some
controversy about the higher SPF
numbers because people assume that
reapplication isn’t necessary. In reality,
sunscreen sometimes gets toweled or
perspired off. Dr. Evans suggests that
her patients “reapply every 90 minutes, maybe two hours if using a really
Carolyn Simpson Photo

Dr. Evans has
patients that come in initially for a
skin health exam and then want to
find out about other cosmetic procedures to improve their skin’s appearance. Dr. Evans’ practice offers a variety of procedures such as Botox, fillers,
Coolsculpting and Ultherapy but her
number one rule is patient safety first.
“I’m the first guinea pig, so we test
everything here personally before it
ever is given to a patient. If I’m going
to discuss a procedure I want to be able
to answer does it work? What’s the
recovery like? What’s the downside?”
Her office receives many products to
sample but Dr. Evans estimates that
she only brings in probably one out of
eight products that have passed her
stringent tests.
Botox and fillers are extremely
popular with her patients but are used
for different purposes. Botox is used
for lines of motion (e.g. crow’s feet,
forehead creases) whereas fillers are
used to help with lines of rest and help
to reshape and recontour the face.
“We have a number of different products so treatment can now be very
individualized.”
Another procedure that is gaining
traction among Dr. Evan’s patients
is Coolsculpting for fat reduction.
Researchers have now figured out the
exact temperature that freezes fat. It
can treat a specific site and only takes
an hour. About three months posttreatment, patients can expect to lose
25 percent of the fat on a specific area
of the body. Besides stubborn belly fat,
the company is evolving their technology, so that Coolsculpting can be used
under the neck or by the side of the
knee where you have smaller pockets
of fat that are hard to target with diet
and exercise.
Ultherapy is another technology
that improves the skin’s appearance.
It is based on deep ultrasound that
stimulates collagen production deep
under the skin and is used for sagging. It’s offered as a single treatment
non-surgical technologies that offer
alternatives. You want a change that
takes off five to ten years and makes
you look more vibrant, more alive. You
don’t want people to say, ‘Oh, you got
a facelift,’” said Dr. Evans.
One of the main reasons
younger patients come to Dr.
Evans office is for acne treatment. “Acne is a genetically
driven condition that needs
persistence. Some people have
a relatively minor problem and
some carry it in adulthood, so
there is almost a spectrum of
conditions within acne,” she
explains. Dr. Evans believes
that treatment should take into
account a patient’s lifestyle,
convenience and how much the

with mild acne.
Dr. Evans is committed to learning about the newest products in the
dermatological field and attends professional meetings regularly to keep
abreast of the latest skincare trends.
Recently she saw a sunscreen product
that is used as a shower gel and bought
some samples home to evaluate it. It
is supposed be left on for two minutes
in the shower but Evans wonders if
people will really leave it on for a full
two minutes. “It’s a great idea conceptually but you have to think how will
this work in practice?”
“It’s an exciting time to be involved
in the field and it really pleases me
from both the medical and the cosmetic aspect to see such great strides
forward. I feel blessed to practice at
this juncture because when I compare
now what’s available to 25 years ago it’s
exponential and I think that’s only going to continue,” concludes Dr. Evans.
Stacey Pfeffer and her husband and
three young kids are New Castle residents. With summer on the horizon, she’s
hoping her children will be less difficult
this year with sunscreen application.

eager to spend every free moment at
the driving range or on the track, enjoying the sunshine while putting your underused muscles and joints through the
wringer. It’s an experience many of us
can relate to and, according to Armonk
Physical Therapy & Sports Training
Director Robert Fay, a leading cause of
injuries during this time of the year.
“If you do too much too quickly it
leads to overuse injuries like tendonitis,
stress fractures and that sort of thing,”
Fay explains. “A lot of these injuries can
be avoided if people go a little slower as
they start up. But I know that it’s hard
sometimes.”
Fay, who co-founded Armonk PTST
in 2001, sees an increase in these kinds
of injuries around this time of year.
A general rule of thumb for aerobic
workouts, Fay says, is to increase your
workout by no more than 15 percent
from your previous efforts. If you’ve
only been eking out a mile at a time on
the treadmill over winter, don’t try running a half marathon the first time you
make it to the track.
“As the weather starts
to get nice, we’ll get

mance. “So that’s the key thing that I
think it’s very important to get across
to people.”
Fay, now the sole owner, co-founded
Armonk PTST in 2001 after previously
working in Pleasantville and Greenwich, Conn. His aim is to give clients
true one-on-one therapy, meaning their
trainers are only working with one

suffered injuries in the past.
Or, for example, having strong quads
but weak hamstrings could make you
more likely to tear your ACL (anterior
cruciate ligament). Of course, getting
healthy people into a physical therapist’s office to prevent injuries is a lot
tougher than it is to get them in once
they’ve hurt themselves. Mostly, Fay
says, those who come in for preventive treatment are high school athletes
whose parents are concerned about
potential injuries.
“But I think it should also be done for
that weekend warrior, 40-year-old or
50-year-old type person,” Fay notes.
After evaluating the athletes, Fay’s
team can advise them of what exercises
or stretches they can do to address their
deficiencies and lower the risk of injury.
And if saving oneself from a serious
injury isn’t sufficient motivation, Fay
points out that the weaknesses that
these injury prevention exercises address can also be hurting their perfor-

related. Fay acknowledges that, as
anyone who’s gotten back into working
out after hiatus can attest, a moderate
amount of soreness the next day or two
can be expected. If, however, you feel
pain during your workout rather than
the day after, that can be a sign of an
injury. Another red flag, Fay says, is if
the pain is in the bone or tendon rather
than the muscle.
While there’s no fool-proof way to
avoid all injuries, taking precautions
can make them a lot less likely. The two
most important things to keep in mind,
Fay concludes, are not overexerting
yourself early on and addressing weaknesses and imbalances before you reach
mid-season form. Otherwise, you may
spend the bulk of the outdoor season

Transforming Lives
One Pound at a Time
Carolyn Simpson Photo
By Miriam Longobardi
Anyone who has ever struggled to
lose weight knows how difficult and
frustrating it can be, both losing the
weight and keeping it off. Those who
have significant weight to lose–beyond
a few extra pounds after a vacation–
face a greater challenge. Enter Dr.
Maria Briones, owner of Dr. Briones
Medical Weight Loss Center located in
Mount Kisco.
Dr. Briones began her career as an
internist in New York City in 1994 and
in addition to her weight loss clinic
works at Burke Rehabilitation Center in
White Plains. During her career she has
always been concerned about obesity
and its related diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and
stroke as well as some cancers.
At Burke she also noted that some of
her patients who had undergone hip
and knee replacements needed the
surgery as a result of obesity. “I want to
help people before obesity takes a toll
on their health and body and possibly
avoid surgery and some of the diseases
connected to obesity.”
At her weight loss center, Dr. Briones
assists patients far beyond helping
them develop healthier eating habits
to lose weight. Her approach is very
personal and addresses the many
psychological effects of obesity. “In addition to the effects on the body, being
obese changes how people feel about
themselves. The most common consequences are loss of self-esteem and
depression. As I help them lose weight I
didn’t have to use any medication.”
All patients must undergo a health
evaluation and obtain medical clearance to participate in the diet plan.
After that, patients come for weekly
visits to be weighed and spend time
being counseled by Dr. Briones. “They
need to change the relationship they
have with food.” She helps them
develop a plan which they must be
disciplined enough to follow. Part of
her plan involves using Optifast, a
meal replacement program that must
be medically supervised. “With Optifast patients can see results similar to
surgery sometimes in as little as six
months,” Briones reports. Depending
on the amount of weight to be lost,
patients begin with the Optifast meal
replacements very strictly for approximately four to six months. “It’s like
people that want to quit smoking –they
have to really be ready for it and commit to following the program.”
Elysa Belessakos, a patient and one of
Dr. Briones’s many success stories, says
that working with Dr. Briones changed
her life. “The woman is brilliant,” said
Belessakos. “She completely devotes
herself to her patients and gives us
one-on-one personal attention.” While
some people relate to group support
such as Weight Watchers, Belessakos
feels the emotional support she receives from Dr. Briones helped her sort
through emotional eating issues that in
the past always caused her to gain back
weight she had lost. “A lot of people
dealing with obesity don’t want to sit
in front of a group and talk about their
weight loss struggles,” says Belessakos.
Through a combination of the Optifast
meal replacements, Lipo-Light, which
is a machine that burns fat cells in
targeted areas of the body, and Dr. Briones teaching her about nutrition and
talking her through strategies to avoid
emotional eating, Belessakos is down
40 pounds. “I get so many compliments!” she enthusiastically reports.
After sticking closely to the Optifast plan, which also offers nutrition
bars and soups in addition to the meal
replacement shakes, transitioning back
to mainstream food can be challenging. Dr. Briones is considering adding
a nutritionist to her staff but Briones
helps her patients with meal planning,
food shopping and menus to help them
keep the weight off and follow up with
her for maintenance.
Belessakos says that it is the level of
devotion she and the other patients receive from Dr. Briones that gives them
the support and encouragement they
need to maintain their weight loss. “It’s
her personality that sets her apart from
other doctors. So much of weight loss is
psychological and you get one-hundred
percent of her attention. She listens,
gives you feedback and is so warm and
encouraging that nobody wants to stop
seeing her.”
A wife and mother of three children,
Dr. Briones continues to learn and
explore new medical breakthroughs
through professional associations and
by attending conferences regularly. She
recently added anti-aging and skin care
products at her center. Belessakos adds,
“She absolutely loves what she does
and genuinely cares about each of her
patients with compassion.”
Dr. Briones feels that in addition to
being healthier physically, one of the
greatest accomplishments she sees in
her patients is their attitude toward
life. “Not only are they active and
have more energy but their social and
intimate lives improve. It’s amazing
the effect weight loss can have on a
person’s life.”

dog owner know that a trip to the vet is a must. Dogs not
groomed regularly can end up with “hot spots,”--shaved
dogs can act out badly from sensory overload plus act
traumatized (and be prone to biting) because they aren’t
accustomed to it. All pups should start a grooming routing
at around 16 weeks of age to get used to all aspects: brushing, bathing, teeth brushed, blow dryers...all of which can be
scary, so getting acclimated early is critical.
The average non shedding dog should be groomed every
4-8 weeks depending on the length of coat and how much
maintenance is done at home. To make an appointment for
your pet, call Wags and Whiskers at 238-0244.

CENTERED ON GOOD HEALTH:
Dina Khader’s Innovative Guidance
By Deborah Raider Notis
In 2010, Dina Khader opened the
Khader Center in Mount Kisco for
health and wellness. Khader, a practicing dietitian and nutrition consultant
for more than 26 years, is dedicated to
developing personalized regimens to
help her clients become increasingly
stronger and healthier.
Khader, originally from Jordan,
lived all over the world throughout
her childhood and she eventually
settled in New York. She experienced
and learned from many different
cultures–witnessing malnutrition first
hand in many poor countries. With an
incentive to study nutrition to help
fight hunger, she pursued becoming
a registered dietitian and integrative
nutrition consultant.
“I had a serious reaction to the polio
vaccine when I was 15 months old,”
says Khader, who faced a variety of
health issues at an early age. “Originally, no one thought that I would be able
to walk, and when I did walk, I walked
with a limp.”
When she was 13 years old and living in Abu Dhabi, Khader attended a
yoga class during which the instructor
told her that eating red meat could be
harmful to her joints. Khader did her
research and decided to change her
diet and exercise routine to strengthen
her body and immune system. Realizing the incredible impact that a regulated diet and lifestyle routine could
provide, Khader dedicated her life to
studying nutrition.
Khader leverages her strong clinical
background as a dietitian and nutritionist, her unique knowledge of the
effects that specific medicines have on
the body, and her healing techniques
to help her clients. A graduate of New
York Medical College with an MS in
Nutrition, she worked in several hospitals and started the nutrition program
for the Saw Mill Club in Mount Kisco
before opening the Khader Center.
“I do practice what I preach,” says
Khader, who is committed to “eating
really, really well,” and exercising a lot.
After developing her own, personalized health and nutrition plan, Khader
started building targeted nutrition
strategies for her clients. She works
with clients with a variety of objectives, from those focused on weight
loss to clients looking for anti-aging
techniques to people suffering from
cancer or those struggling with hormonal issues. “I incorporate a number
of cutting-edge, integrative strategies,
individually tailored to the needs of
each client.”
Khader’s cutting-edge techniques
include a computer software program
that helps to determine which organs
in a client’s body are most stressed.
She also employs epigenetics, a method of genetic testing designed to identify and alter a client’s overall health.
Additionally, Khader’s mud-packing
technique helps people to heal after
injuries or surgical scars. “We address
the trauma through a targeted application of specially mixed volcanic clay
that is designed to restore the body’s
natural electrical circuit. The results
have been life-changing as the clay is
very effective at addressing toxicity,”
notes Khader.
“I can help clients achieve dramatic
health improvements without relying on extreme diets or potentially
dangerous drugs,” states Khader. Ultimately, her goal is to change lives for
the better. And, in the end, isn’t that
what we all want?

WOMEN AND FINANCES
By Scott Kahan
You get in your car knowing you left
plenty of time to arrive at the restaurant
for your eight o’clock dinner reservations.
Somehow, on the way you manage to make a
wrong turn and get lost. Assuming you don’t
have a GPS, what do you do? The stereotypical answer, which is probably true more
often than not, is that men will keep driving
around hoping to find their way. Women,
on the other hand, will stop and ask for
directions. So when it comes to finances and
financial planning, is it any different?
Financial planning is about identifying
your goals and objectives. Once this is done,
the next step is to come up with the “road
map” of how you reach your destination.
Studies have shown that women deal very
differently with their financial planning than
men do.
Women often face more financial challenges than men as a result of lower salaries,
prolonged career breaks, and relative longevity. Women tend to have smaller pensions or
401(k) balances, on average earn less than
men while working, and are more likely to
have part-time jobs with limited retirement
benefits. Women also leave the workforce
more than men to become family caregivers,
further reducing their ability to save.
Whereas men are often more confident
that they will have enough retirement income
to live comfortably, women tend to be less
confident in their knowledge about financial
products and services and that they are on
the right path financially. So logically this
leads women to ask additional questions with
the goal to become more knowledgeable
about finances.
This way, when making financial decisions, having the information allows you to
be more confident in that decision. When
it comes to financial planning, being more
confident with your decision making process
allows you to stay the course and not panic
with every headline or market drop.
So the next time you are lost and need
help, stop and ask questions. Of course make
sure the person you are asking is knowledgeable. By doing this, you have a much better
chance of reaching that goal, whatever it
may be.

Sharing Dance
A Tribute to Kathleen Fitzgerald’s
Extraordinary Career
By Matt Smith
“Since my first class, I have loved
dance, and I want to share that with
everyone.”
While she presumably meant those
words to be a wish for the future, by
the looks of it, Kathleen Fitzgerald,
speaker of the above, seems to already
have the “sharing” covered. So much
so that the Mount Kisco resident was
named Gala Honoree during the
Steffi Nossen School of Dance’s
79th Annual Benefit Week, held
earlier this year, from March
31-April 2.
As is tradition, the yearly
Gala serves to benefit the Steffi
Nossen Dance Foundation, a
not-for-profit dance advocacy
and community outreach organization within the school,
while at the same time honoring
one of their own for his or her
Outstanding Contributions to
SNDF. As a special treat unique
to Fitzgerald, this year’s event
included a performance of a new
work, danced by nine graduating
seniors of SNDC and choreographed
by Steffi Nossen Dance Foundation
Artistic Director–and Annual Benefit
producer–Jessica DiMauro, which
served as a tribute to Fitzgerald’s
life and career. “I’m flabbergasted,”
she says of receiving the honor. “I’ve
worked behind-the-scenes for so long
now that I was just not expecting it.
I’m uncharacteristically speechless.”
While she may not have been expecting it, the honor is certainly deserved–
dancing’s clearly in her blood.
Fitzgerald began dance training at
age eight, as a way to augment the
“complete lack of coordination” that
resulted from poor vision. Nonetheless, regardless of the reason, it was
clear she was hooked from that very
first day. “I got in the car after [the
class] and said, ‘Mommy, I’m gonna be
a dancer,’” she recalls. “That was really
all I ever wanted to be.”
Her first foray into the professional
dance world came at age fifteen, when
she auditioned for “new state-supported performing arts school” North
Carolina School of the Arts… as #13,
no less, which Nossen herself always
considered a lucky number–a telling
sign of what was soon to come.
Kathleen Fitzgerald
dance theater group, Bremer Tanztheater, Fitzgerald moved to Mt. Kisco–for the sake of her daughter, Jessica Rose, who has special needs and
requires intensive therapies. Thanks to
some guidance from an intuitive local
librarian, she found herself an alltoo-perfect position at Steffi Nossen
School of Dance, and she’s been with
them for 16 years. Fitzgerald began
first as a core curriculum teacher
in 2000, then as School Director,
a position which she held from
2004-2015. Today, she continues to lead the Ballet Program at
SNSD, and serves as Production
Manager for the Copland House
concerts at Merestead. She has also
been extensively involved with the
outreach programs, one being the
13-year-old Wheels and Heels intensive dance program for disabled
performers, one of the programs
this very benefit helps to fund.
Jorge Fatauros Photo In accepting her honor, she
acknowledges the work of the
Kathleen Fitzgerald in Jiří Kylián’s “Ariadne”
Subsequent to graduation, and prior
to joining the Steffi Nossen family,
Fitzgerald was a principal dancer and
Company Ballet Mistress with Ballet
Frankfurt, where she worked under
choreographer William Forsythe.
Preceding that, she was a soloist with
Netherlands Dance Theater I, before
Jiří Kylián took her on as Assistant
Director of Netherlands Dance Theater
II. “I can’t say enough about how great
it was,” she says of those experiences.
“We toured all over the world. We
toured with live orchestra, with live
singers and choirs and incredible lighting designers and costume makers…
It was everything you could possibly
want to experience.”
After following Ballet Frankfurt
with work for Johann Kresnik’s radical
“fantastic” students at SNSD and
takes note of “the incredible camaraderie of the Steffi Nossen faculty.” (“You
don’t find that everywhere,” she adds,
with a smile). “I feel that I’ve found a
home at Steffi Nossen, an organization
that stresses the importance of family,
community, and mentoring. And I feel
very lucky to have had this incredible
performing career, and to have [done]
such meaningful work within the arts.”
Steffi Nossen School of Dance is located
at 216 Central Avenue in White Plains.
Fitzgerald notes the company has several
satellite locations throughout Westchester, including one in Chappaqua at the
Church of St. Mary the Virgin. For more

INSIDE THOUGHTS
The Health-Creativity Connection
By Lynda Cohen Loigman
Throughout my life, I’ve done a lot
of different things in an effort to be
“healthy.” I’ve tried multiple diet and
exercise regimens. I’m diligent about
yearly mammograms and I go to my
doctor when something doesn’t feel
right. I’ve made an effort to reduce
stress. I am mindful of mindfulness.
It’s true I haven’t always succeeded,
but since entering adulthood I have
tried my best to pay attention to all of
the factors that can shape a person’s
physical and mental well-being.
Except for one.
For the longest time, I didn’t understand how important that one thing
was to my overall happiness. For years
and years, I ignored it, until I was practically ill from its absence.
As a child, I drew all of my older
brother’s book report covers and
made all of his shoebox dioramas. My
parents didn’t know how to stop me.
It wasn’t just the art projects–I tried
to do his written work too. But by the
time he got to seventh grade, I was
banned from helping, and was told
to find other ways to express myself.
I made dolls out of walnut shells and
tiny aquariums out of empty tic-tac
boxes. I wrote stories and poems.
I sewed and colored, and while I did
those things I belted out every song I
could remember from the annual television airings of West Side Story and
The Sound of Music. My parents begged
me not to spill glue on the floor. They
asked me to stop singing so loudly in
the kitchen. They told their friends I
was “creative,” but it didn’t really feel
like a compliment.
As I got older, it was hard to find
time for craft projects, but I held on to
a few creative pursuits. I wrote poems
(bad ones) and I acted in my high
school’s musicals. In college I was in
an a cappella group. But once I was in
law school, my creative life came to a
screeching halt.
Don’t get me wrong–a lot of wonderful things happened to me during law
school and throughout my legal career.
I met my husband, we got married and
had our first child. After eight years of
practice, I quit my job and we moved
to Chappaqua. A few years later, we
welcomed our son and our family was
complete.
When our youngest was in preschool, I had several hours to myself
each morning. But the more free time
I accumulated, the worse I felt.
Despite the beautiful town we live in,
the wonderful friends, and the daily
satisfaction of helping to raise our
family, I was discouraged. I went back
to work part-time–but the sense of
purpose I craved didn’t materialize.
I was unhappy, and I was pretty sure
I knew why.
“Now, writing is my medicine. The process, and all that
comes with it, is as important
for my personal health as any
diet or exercise.”
The word creative is defined as
follows: “relating to or involving the
imagination or
original ideas,
especially in the
production of an
artistic work.” Was
making paper dolls
with my daughter
creative? Making up
silly rhymes for my
son? Singing with
my children, dancing, reading them
stories? Of course
it was. All of those
moments were creative, important and
incredibly precious.
But there is a difference between
creative play with children and personal creativity.
I have friends who are miserable unless they exercise vigorously every day.
I have friends who have given up meat
or dairy because it makes them feel
better. I have friends who take medication to lower cholesterol or blood
pressure or to curb painful anxiety and
depression. So why couldn’t I recognize that I needed a creative outlet to
feel healthy? Perhaps I knew already,
but I wasn’t able to admit it. After all,
isn’t that common when it comes to
our own health and wellness? We put
off exercise, we promise to start our
diet tomorrow, we refuse medication
that might help us because we see it as
an admission of weakness.
I’m happy to report that I finally
made my creative health a priority. It
took turning 40 to give me the push
that I needed, but I enrolled in a writing class, and after six years, I finished
my novel. Now, writing is my medicine. The process, and all that comes
with it, is as important for my personal health as any diet or exercise.
We all have things we need to do to
stay healthy. Maybe your doctor has
told you to stay out of the sun. Maybe
you’re on Prilosec or Lipitor or Ambien. No one is going to give you a prescription for creative fulfillment, but
that doesn’t mean you don’t need one.
If you need a strong dose of it, chances
are you already know. Hopefully you
won’t wait as long as I did before you
add it to your life.
Lynda Cohen Loigman, pictured

received a B.A. in English and American
Literature from Harvard College and a
J.D. from Columbia Law School. She is
now a student of the Writing Institute at
Sarah Lawrence College, and lives with
her husband and two children in Chappaqua, New York. She is a failure at enforcing reasonable bedtimes. Her first novel,
