WELCOME FALL! Happy fall! It’s always a little deceiving, isn’t it? We go from August right into September, and while the weather may still feel like summer, the mood definitely changes. Vacations wind down, kids head back to school, everyone gets back to work, and suddenly life gets a little more serious. As we head into fall, we’ve put together an issue that celebrates some of the best of South Jersey — along with a little travel inspiration beyond our backyard. One of those South Jersey treasures is Storybook Land. Generations of us grew up with it, and there’s something reassuring about seeing it right there on the Black Horse Pike after all these years. It’s a wonderful place to introduce children to the same storybook characters and childhood fantasies many of us remember. In Travel, we head north and fall in love with Lake George and the surrounding region. From hiking and sightseeing to wine tasting, there’s plenty to do, and fall may be one of the best times to experience this beautiful part of the Northeast. One story particularly close to my heart is “Turning Parkinson’s Into Purpose”, featuring my good friend Dan Poley and his family. Written by another friend, Sandy White, it tells how one family is turning a difficult challenge into an opportunity to raise awareness and funds in the fight against Parkinson’s disease.

It’s approachable luxury with a distinctly South Jersey touch. Our Home feature, “High-Rise, High Expectations”, takes a look at Jersey Shore condominium renovations and why they can be very different from renovating a traditional home. From logistics and building requirements to coordinating the work itself, there’s much more involved than you might expect. And, of course, our regular contributors are back. Wine Director Michael Bray reminds us that the change of seasons is also a good reason to change up our wine selections — and to mark our calendars for The Right Notes on October 8.

Fall always seems to bring us back to a routine. But maybe that’s not such a bad thing. There’s still plenty to discover, plenty to enjoy and, as always, plenty happening right here in South Jersey. Enjoy the issue — and enjoy the fall.

hether you are a kid or a kid at heart, Storybook Land (SBL) touches your heart — and the memories stay there forever. Imagine a place where fairy tales and nursery rhyme characters welcome you on rides and attractions. For over 70 years, SBL has remained a magical place where The Three Little Pigs, Mother Goose, Cinderella, and dozens of other characters create storybook themes through a myriad of attractions. It’s a unique and timeless place that puts smiles on faces — generation after generation.

Located on a 25-acre park outside of Atlantic City, New Jersey, SBL offers a clean, family-friendly environment providing classic rides including the iconic Carousel and the J&J Railroad. In addition, the park offers shaded picnic areas where outside food is allowed, and seasonal events during Halloween and Christmas — all for one admission price. Storybook Land Begins On a road trip in 1955, John and Esther Fricano, noticed there were no stops or attractions between Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore. To fill that gap, they decided to create a family friendly picnic grove with a nursery rhyme theme. Eventually, the park expanded to include animals, a playground, storybook houses, rides, and a snack bar. Since its inception, SBL has grown into a premier family attraction featuring 19 rides, four snack bars, a large picnic area, natural shade, and a splash pad.

Today, Jessica Panetta, a thirdgeneration owner, continues her family’s tradition while keeping up with the times. Panetta explains, “Growing up in the amusement industry, I’ve always been fascinated by evolving technology, guest needs, and industry trends. I think we’ve struck a nice balance between modernizing the guest experience while preserving the nostalgia that makes Storybook Land so special.” And what makes SBL remain special after 70 years? If you ask Panetta, she will tell you it’s because the SBL family has always understood what parents need and what children like because they are parents themselves. In fact, original attractions like the Little Red Schoolhouse and the Alice in Wonderland Tunnel continue to delight children for decades — even in an age of high tech and computer-generated attractions.

Panetta sums up SBL’s everlasting charm, “The simplicity of the experience is refreshing. Children can explore and have fun at their own pace. There’s no need for an app or to be attached to your phone the entire time. Families can simply enjoy being together.” Generations of Smiles Whether riding the Storybook Land Railroad or walking through the Alice in Wonderland Tunnel and Maze, children continue to be entertained and amused year after year. Touting a 70-year history and going strong, SBL sees third- and even fourth-generation families visiting the park. It is not unusual to see parents and grandparents telling their SBL stories to their kids and grandchildren. For parents and kids alike, SBL provides a place where heartwarming family memories are made and shared. Panetta proudly explains SBL’s generational nostalgia, “We never tire of hearing those stories.” Eileen Skiffington sees Storybook Land as the perfect place to create happy family memories that can be shared across generations. After recently taking her grandchildren to the park, Skiffington remarks about SBL’s nostalgia staying power (and magic), “What surprised me the most is how it remains unchanged from when I took my own children 30 years ago, but still remains relevant. It reminded my daughters of their own childhood and now enjoying watching those same smiles and joy in the faces of their own children. From the moment we hopped on the train to riding all their favorite rides, every minute is filled with laughter and excitement.” Story Book Land — Year Round Open 12 months throughout the year, SBL offers seasonal events and programs in addition to the park 14

HIGH-RISE, HIGH EXPECTATIONS Renovating a condominium along the Jersey Shore can be exciting — new kitchens, updated baths and interiors designed to take full advantage of life by the coast. But renovating 20, 30 or 40 stories above the ground presents challenges most homeowners never encounter. Lifestyle reached out to Boardwalk Renovations, a company experienced in Jersey Shore high-rise construction, to find out what owners should know before getting started. By Nick Valinote

Jim O'Neill

What Jersey Shore condo owners should know before renovating.

t first glance, renovating a condominium kitchen shouldn’t be much different from renovating one in a single-family home. There are cabinets to remove, countertops to replace, appliances to install and plenty of decisions to make along the way.

And those elevators aren’t always waiting.

But put that kitchen on the 30th floor of a Jersey Shore high-rise and the equation changes considerably.

It’s one reason homeowners shouldn’t necessarily compare the cost of renovating a condominium directly with renovating a similarly sized house. The cabinets and tile may cost exactly the same. Getting them to the job site may not.

Boardwalk Renovations sees those differences every day. With extensive experience renovating Jersey Shore condominiums, the company has developed a firsthand understanding of the planning, coordination and logistics that come with working in high-rise buildings.

Workers may spend additional time each day signing in, transporting equipment and waiting for elevators. Over the course of a multi-week project, those seemingly small delays add up.

Even something as straightforward as delivering a new countertop requires planning. Cabinets, appliances, shower panels and oversized materials have to fit through loading entrances, corridors, elevators and doorways.

Debris must be moved through approved common areas, transported by service elevator and loaded into a vehicle. For Atlantic City projects requiring disposal, construction debris must then be taken to the appropriate Atlantic County Utilities Authority disposal facility. Larger renovations can require multiple disposal trips, adding labor, transportation, fuel and disposal costs. It’s an expense homeowners rarely see — because by the time they return to their newly renovated condominium, all evidence of demolition has disappeared.

The Elevator Changes Everything One of the biggest differences starts before the contractor ever reaches the condominium. At a traditional home, workers can typically park nearby, unload their equipment and get started. In a high-rise, contractors may have to coordinate loading areas, building access, service elevators and approved construction hours.

rise, everything has to make the trip downstairs.

Not Every Contractor Can Work There Another surprise for some owners is that the contractor who renovated their primary residence may not necessarily qualify to renovate their Shore condominium. What Goes Up Must Come Down Then there’s demolition. Anyone who has renovated a kitchen or bathroom knows how quickly a pile of debris can grow. Cabinets, drywall, tile, flooring, countertops and old fixtures all have to go somewhere. At a house, a dumpster might be sitting just outside the door. In a high-

Many condominium associations maintain specific insurance and administrative requirements for contractors working inside their buildings. These can include substantial general liability coverage, workers’ compensation and automobile insurance, as well as certificates naming the association or management company as additional insureds. Buildings may also regulate working NJLifestyleMag.com

LIFESTYLE | Fall 2026

Home & Design hours, noise, deliveries, elevator use, permits and protection of common areas. That means high-rise renovation requires more than construction experience. A contractor also needs to understand how condominium buildings operate. Managing a Renovation From Miles Away There’s another characteristic unique to the Shore: many condominium owners don’t live here year-round. They may be several hours away — or several states away — while their renovation is underway. That makes communication particularly important. We asked Jim O’Neill of Boardwalk Renovations how his company manages projects when the homeowner can’t regularly visit the property. “I’m very hands-on with our projects and work closely with our team to keep homeowners updated,” says O’Neill. “We use photos, video and FaceTime to show progress, while coordinating with building management on scheduling, access and deliveries. It keeps the homeowner connected even when they’re miles away.” Boardwalk Renovations also incorporates digital and AI-assisted tools into project organization, planning, communication and design concepts. The result is an interesting combination of old-fashioned personal service and modern technology. An owner doesn’t necessarily have to drive two hours to see what’s behind a newly opened wall. A FaceTime call can put them virtually inside the room in seconds. Expect the Unexpected That can become particularly valuable when renovating an older Shore property. Many Jersey Shore high-rises have spent decades exposed to salt air, moisture, wind and changing temperatures. Once cabinets, walls or flooring are removed, contractors can encounter conditions that weren’t visible during the initial inspection. 18

Transforming Homes & Condominiums with Expert Renovation, Quality Craftsmanship, and Timeless Design.

When those surprises occur, documentation and communication become critical. The homeowner should be able to see what was discovered, understand the available options and approve how the contractor proceeds. The Building Is Part of the Renovation Perhaps the biggest takeaway for condo owners is that a high-rise renovation doesn’t begin and end at their front door. Elevators, hallways, loading areas and other common spaces are part of the project, too. They need to be protected and kept clean, all while hundreds of other residents may be going about their daily lives just a few feet away. For Boardwalk Renovations, that’s familiar territory. With its offices located within a major residential high-rise, the company works in the same environment in which many of its clients live. And that’s an important consideration when selecting a contractor. A beautiful kitchen or bathroom may be the ultimate goal, but successfully renovating a Jersey Shore high-rise requires something homeowners won’t see in the finished photographs: an understanding of everything it takes to get there. n

Outdoorsy Suggestions Fall is one of the best seasons for outdoor exploration in the Lake George region — temperatures are comfortable, and the scenery is spectacular. Depending on the group’s activity level, outdoor options can include a leisurely walk, a scenic drive along Lake Shore Drive, or traveling up Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway for panoramic views. For more active guests, Mintzer suggests a hike on one of the region’s many trails, enjoying a seasonal scenic skyride at Gore Mountain or cycling along the Warren County Bikeway. These Lake George experiences also combine well as wedding-weekend activities, spouse and guest programs, or team-building excursions for corporate groups. Not-So-Outdoorsy Suggestions If you didn’t bring hiking boots or choose not to, have no fears — Lake George has got you covered! Take in the stunning fall foliage from a sightseeing cruise, waterfront restaurant, resort terrace, or scenic drive. The region also offers spas, museums, and historic attractions, boutique and outlet shopping, live entertainment, and an impressive variety of dining experiences.

Tips for retaining good employees (that don’t cost a thing!)

As an employer, you probably know that the most

valuable asset of your business is your employees. Retaining those employees is crucial to maintaining consistency in your business, without the high cost of recruiting and training new employees. Beyond the efficiencies that comes with seasoned staff, retaining employees also sends a message to your customers that you take care of your workers. Customers develop relationships with employees and enjoy the familiarity of speaking to the same person when they call in to place an order or come in to do business. What can you do to make sure valued employees don’t leave?

4 benefits to offer employees that don’t cost a thing. 1. Flexibility – Today’s modern organizations know that work-life flexibility is essential for a healthy, thriving, productive culture. Some may refer to it as “flexible work arrangements” or “work-life balance.” 2. Increased Paid Time-off – Increased paid time-off does not cost anything extra and chances are an engaged worker will be checking in anyway. 3. Defined Career Path- Work goals keep employees engaged. Discuss a vision for their future during reviews, and how you will support that journey. Listening doesn’t cost anything, making staff feel essential leading to higher productivity.

4. Better Benefits – Offering supplemental benefits is one of the best

ways you can offer more to your employees, at little or no cost to you. These benefits provide additional protection for illness or injury, both ON and OFF the job, that a typical health insurance policy does not cover.

SWEATER WEATHER IN A GLASS A Field Guide to Fall Wine By Michael Bray

irst, some unfinished business. In the July issue, I challenged you to email me your definitive shore bottle — and you delivered. My inbox was a delight, but one submission stood above the rest. Congratulations to Joe Broski, who nominated Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rosé as his bottle of the summer. Joe, that is an inspired pick — a rosé from one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected family houses, with enough backbone to handle everything from grilled fish to a rack of ribs. Stop into the store, Joe; I have a bottle waiting for you. And here is the thing about Joe’s pick: it makes my point for me this issue. Because a rosé with that kind of structure does not retire on Labor Day. It transitions. Which raises the question I want to explore this fall: what does it actually mean for a wine to be “seasonal”? What Makes A Wine A “Fall Wine”? Nobody passes a law that says Sauvignon Blanc is for July and Cabernet is for November. Seasonal drinking is really about three things. First, weight — as the food on our table gets richer and heartier, the wine needs enough body to keep up. That featherweight summer white that was perfect with ceviche will get steamrolled by short ribs. Second, flavor harmony — fall cooking is built on roasted, caramelized, earthy flavors, and the best fall wines echo them: dried leaves, baking spice, mushroom, dark cherry, a whisper of smoke. Third — and do not underestimate this one — mood. Wine is atmosphere in a glass. When there is a candle lit and a braise in the oven, you reach for something that feels like a flannel shirt, not a bathing suit. In summer, I told you to chill everything. Now we let the reds come back up to temperature, slow down, and stretch out. Here are the three varietals I want on your table this season. 1. Cabernet Franc — The Insider’s Fall Red If fall had an official grape, this would be my nominee. Cabernet Franc — the parent grape of Cabernet Sauvignon — is mediumbodied with flavors of red currant, tobacco leaf, and crushed autumn leaves. I am not being poetic; “fallen leaves” is a genuine, textbook tasting note for this grape. It is the ultimate wine for roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or anything with mushrooms. My pick: the 2022 Domaine Fabrice Gasnier “Vieilles Vignes” Chinon ($20.99) — oldvine Cabernet Franc from the grape’s spiritual home in France’s Loire Valley, farmed with an obsessive dedication to the land. This is the bottle I would hand you first.

2. Pinot Noir — The Table-Setter Yes, we chilled it in July. Now, at proper cellar temperature, Pinot Noir reveals its autumn wardrobe: black cherry, forest floor, subtle spice. It is also — and I will defend this on any stage — the single best Thanksgiving wine on earth: graceful enough for turkey, savory enough for stuffing, diplomatic enough for your entire extended family. My pick: the 2021 Balletto Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley ($29.99) — estate-grown fruit from one of Sonoma County’s benchmark Pinot regions, where cool fog rolls off the Pacific and slows the ripening to a crawl. The result is elegance you can taste. (And when Beaujolais Nouveau Day arrives in late November, remember what I told you in July — Gamay loves this season too.) 3. Chardonnay — The Sweater Weather White Fall drinking is not an all-red affair. This is the season when a richer, subtly oaked Chardonnay finally gets its moment — think baked apple, toasted hazelnut, and a creamy texture that was too much for August and is exactly right for October. My pick: the 2024 Frank Family Vineyards Chardonnay, Carneros ($39.99) — a beautifully balanced California classic from the cool Carneros region, with just the right kiss of oak. Pour it with butternut squash soup or roasted cauliflower and thank me later. Your Homework Class is in session. Here is your assignment: pick ONE of these three varietals — ideally the one you know least — and pour it with a real fall meal. Not a snack. A braise, a roast, a Sunday sauce. Then email me at Michael@passionvines.com and tell me three things: what you drank, what you cooked, and one word for how the pairing made you feel. Best report card gets featured in the winter issue — and, like Joe, a bottle pulled personally by me waiting at the store. My inbox is open. Impress me. Until then: light the candle, start the braise, and drink like the season means it. n Drink Passionately,

TURNING PARKINSON’S INTO PURPOSE For Dan and Donna Poley, Parkinson’s disease has become a journey of challenges, resilience, and hope. Through their annual golf tournament and banquet, they are turning a difficult diagnosis into an opportunity to bring the community together, raise awareness, and support research toward a cure.

s Absecon-based builder Dan Poley continues to navigate the challenges of Parkinson’s disease, he and his wife Donna are more determined than ever to be a part of the solution, to create awareness, and fund research for a cure. For the third time, they are hosting a fun-filled gathering that has become a true community effort to end this disease that affects 1.1 million Americans. This year, the D.F. Poley Construction Company Golf Tournament & Banquet will be held at Seaview Country Club on October 15th. The tournament will once again be followed by a dinner, auction, live music, speakers, and lots of prizes. In 2022, its inaugural year, the event brought together many local friends and family, raising $30,000; then in 2024, it expanded, raising $70,000, and at the time of this writing, the upcoming event has already garnered $35,000 in sponsorships. Through the family’s foundation, the D & K Parkinson’s Research Foundation, all funds directly support the Michael J. Fox Foundation and its mission to fund results-driven scientific studies to eliminate Parkinson’s disease as well as support development of better treatments to manage symptoms. “What makes us so successful is that in rooms and on golf courses around the country, people are coming together to support someone living with Parkinson’s, like Dan,” said Kate Harmon, Senior Community Fundraising Specialist for the Fox Foundation. “The science is waiting, and thanks to families like the Poley’s and those who support them, we will cross the finish line when it comes to this disease.”

Leaning Into Rays Of Hope For Dan, the support from family and friends, and the surrounding community, including all the volunteers that help make the event happen, are the silver lining in what’s been a tough road dealing with the disease’s hallmark symptoms: the tremors, stiffness, and numerous medications and their side effects. Most recently, he says the condition is impacting his speech, so he’s attending speech therapy sessions twice a week. However, what he struggles with the most is anxiety. “It makes you want to crawl up in a hole sometimes and just bury your head, you know?” says Dan. “And that has never been like me. I always had tons of energy, but now, some days, I have to drag myself out of bed to do things.” Donna says the mental and emotional side of Parkinson’s has been very difficult. “I think this is what a lot of people don’t realize,” she says. “It’s not the part of Parkinson’s disease that gets a lot of attention, and we are really trying to bring awareness to this piece of it.”

Dan noted that very few Parkinson’s programs in health centers have specialized mental health services built into the program, and that having these services become more integral and provided by people with specialized training in Parkinson’s could really make a difference in someone’s life. It’s been about three years since Dan underwent Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. With this procedure, which was performed robotically, very thin wires are implanted into movement control areas of the brain to interrupt the irregular

activity that leads to tremors. The procedure was successful, and he is still experiencing the benefit of substantially reduced tremors. “My tremors were knocked back by about 75%, and medications have been knocked back by 50%,” Dan says. Recognizing The Symptoms Dan initially became aware of his Parkinson’s disease symptoms back in 2018. He remembers driving to a job site in Ocean City and noticing that his left hand was shaking as he held the steering wheel. He began having periodic episodes of shaking and stiffness that continued to progress all along his left side only. He also noticed that he had lost his sense of smell. He later learned that loss of smell is often one of the earliest signs of the disease. After looking online, Dan says he diagnosed himself, delayed seeing a doctor for months, and did everything he could to hide his symptoms, in part because he was self-conscious about it, and also, he wanted to wait until after his son’s upcoming wedding to tell his family.

A few weeks after the wedding, Dan told Donna while she was heading off to work, “I’m going to the doctor,” he said, “I have Parkinson’s disease.” The news stopped Donna in her tracks, and that day kicked off a search for the right medical team. Dan was officially diagnosed in 2019 and was put on medicine that kept his tremors at bay. But as time went on, and his medication needs increased, he began looking at more advanced treatments, including DBS. “I’ve come to terms with the fact that feeling normal no longer exists,”

Dan says. “It’s not horribly different, but it’s not normal; it’s a new normal, and you have to get used to it.” The Power Of A Support Network Embracing his new normal didn’t happen overnight. Dan credits the love and unwavering support from his entire family, especially Donna and his kids Dan and Kelsey and their spouses Jessie and Nick — who have proven to be “a force” as he has navigated the ups and downs of his journey. They have been right there with him, he says, encouraging him through every step. He’s met remarkable individuals who have Parkinson’s, as well as others who actively pursue finding a cure, who have been his North Star. He’s had support from lifelong friends and new friends with Parkinson’s who can relate to what he is going through. “We check on each other after doctors’ appointments, share stories with each other; we lean on each other and do whatever we can to help each other,” Dan says. One friend in particular helped him shape his perspective. “He explained to me that you can still have a life. You just have to accept where you are and deal with the things you have to deal with, instead of letting them stop you,” Dan says. “He showed me that whatever it is you want to do, you just have to get back up and do it.” n

RETHINKING ALZHEIMER’S Advances in Alzheimer’s research are transforming how we think about brain health and aging. From promising new blood tests that can detect risk years before symptoms appear to emerging treatments and prevention strategies, science is offering new hope that protecting our cognitive health may begin long before memory loss even starts.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN GETTING OLDER MEANT BRACING FOR memory loss as something we simply had to accept. That’s changing fast. I spend a lot of time talking with doctors and researchers for my radio show and this column, and I can tell you that the mood among them right now is optimistic, especially when it comes to the brain. The conversation has shifted from simply treating dementia after it shows up to catching it, and even heading it off, years before it does. So, let’s look at what’s new in brain health, and what it might mean for you or someone you love. I’ll admit it, every time I misplace my phone or can’t find my keys, or I blank on someone’s name mid-conversation, a little voice in my head pipes up: uh oh, is it happening? What is going on with my brain and memory? I know I’m not alone in that. It’s one of the most common worries I hear from people my age and older, and honestly, most of the time it’s just a busy brain juggling too much, not a sign of something serious. Still, that little jolt of worry is exactly why the research happening right now feels so relevant. Catching Alzheimer’s Before It Starts Alzheimer’s research has advanced rapidly in recent years, leading to new treatments and improved ways to detect the disease. For years, confirming the biological signs of Alzheimer’s often required a spinal tap or an expensive PET scan, tests that are not always readily available and can feel daunting to patients. Now, far simpler options are emerging. One of the most exciting developments is a new blood test that measures a protein called p-tau217, which builds up in the bloodstream when the disease process begins in the brain, long before it shows up as forgetfulness or confusion. The FDA has cleared a version of this test, and researchers say it can estimate when symptoms are likely to begin, sometimes a full decade before any memory changes appear. Recent findings presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference took the story further. Older adults with no memory or thinking problems who felt completely fine were tested for p-tau217 levels in their blood. Those with very high levels had a roughly 78 percent chance of developing cognitive impairment within ten years, and even people with only slightly elevated levels carried real risk over the following decade. For families with a history of Alzheimer’s in particular, that kind of early information could open the door to planning, lifestyle changes, and treatment options long before a diagnosis would otherwise be possible. Genetics tell a related piece of this story, written before we were born (see “Know Your Genes”). Here is what researchers want us to understand clearly: carrying a higher-risk gene is not a diagnosis. Diet, exercise, sleep, and how we manage blood pressure and diabetes all play a role in whether that genetic risk turns into disease. That leads to another shift worth knowing about. A major clinical trial called the AHEAD Study is testing whether starting treatment with an approved Alzheimer’s medication in people who are at high risk, but who haven’t developed symptoms yet, can delay or even prevent the disease from taking hold. It’s early, but the idea of treating Alzheimer’s before it starts represents a real shift in how researchers are thinking about the disease. Newer medications like lecanemab and donanemab work best when started early in the disease process, which makes tools like the p-tau217 blood test even more valuable. Catching the disease sooner does not just give families more time to plan; it can also widen the window for treatments designed to work on the brain before too much damage has already been done.

KNOW YOUR GENES APOE is the gene most closely linked to Alzheimer’s risk. The version inherited from each parent can significantly influence that risk. One or two copies of APOE4 increase the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s, while APOE2 may offer some protection. Still, genetics are only one part of a much larger picture that also includes lifestyle, health history, and everyday choices. NJLifestyleMag.com

Health Watch

Testing is also becoming easier to access. Companies are developing at-home collection devices, similar to a finger stick test, that can be mailed to a lab and analyzed for p-tau217 levels without a trip to a hospital. Researchers are still validating how well those samples hold up compared to a traditional blood draw, but the direction is clear. Testing that once required a research hospital is moving toward our kitchen tables. A primary care visit may include a conversation about family history, a simple cognitive screening, and a referral for blood biomarker testing. It is worth pausing here to say that Alzheimer’s, while the most common cause of dementia, is not the only one. Vascular dementia, caused by reduced blood flow to the brain, is the second most common form, often tied to years of unmanaged high blood pressure or a prior stroke. Lewy body dementia and frontotemporal dementia are less familiar names, but together they affect hundreds of thousands of American families, sometimes showing up first as changes in personality, sleep, or movement rather than memory. The new blood tests making headlines are specific to Alzheimer’s biology. However, a result, positive or negative, should never replace a full evaluation with a neurologist. What these tools offer is a faster, less invasive first step toward real answers, which can make an enormous difference for those at risk. None of this new science replaces the basics, which remain some of the most powerful tools we have for protecting our brains. Researchers continue to find that people who are more physically active in midlife have significantly lower rates of dementia later on. Sleep, social connection, and even treating hearing loss have also been linked to a lower risk of cognitive decline. 40

Health Watch The same is true for managing heart health, blood sugar, and cholesterol earlier in life. Those efforts can pay real dividends for brain health decades later, because the blood vessels that nourish the brain are just as vulnerable to damage as those that supply the heart. Interestingly, some of the other medical breakthroughs making news lately circle back to the brain as well. GLP-1 medications like semaglutide, originally developed for diabetes and weight loss, are now being studied for their effect on inflammation throughout the body, including the brain, and researchers are watching closely for early signals about whether that translates into any protective effect against cognitive decline. Similarly, new tests that measure our biological age using a blood or saliva sample are beginning to offer brainspecific versions, aiming to tell us not just how our heart or kidneys are aging, but how our brain is aging too.

Do We Want To Know? If a blood test or a genetic panel could tell us today that we carry a heightened risk for a disease that might not show up for ten years, would we want to know? That is not a rhetorical question, and doctors and ethicists are actively debating it. Some people find that knowledge is power, that a decade of advance notice gives them time to get finances in order, have honest conversations with their children, and double down on the habits that research shows can delay or reduce risk. Others find that carrying that knowledge for years, without a cure to act on, creates a weight they would rather not bear. There is no wrong answer here. What matters is that we finally have a choice to make, which is more than families had even five years ago. So, the next time we misplace our keys, let’s keep in mind that it might simply be a busy morning. When it becomes a pattern that worries us or someone we love, we now have better tools than ever to ask the question and get a real answer. n

J Monuments to Migration and Labor is a transformative three-year statewide initiative dedicated to honoring the vital contributions of immigrants and migrants as laborers in shaping the state of New Jersey. Funded by the Mellon Foundation and led by Andy Urban, Associate Professor of American Studies & History at Rutgers University, the project is organized by geographical regions in the state: north, central, and south. Monument installations and art, along with place-based public dialogues, engagements, performances, and programs, provide an opportunity for immigrant and migrant stakeholders to take the lead in determining how their contributions should be commemorated. The goal is to change narratives and perspectives as the project confronts the hostility and exclusion that groups migrating for work have historically encountered. For the past eighteen months, community dialogues have occurred throughout the state. In the South Jersey region, these dialogues provided an opportunity for local artists to translate participants’ narratives into visual works of art. Partnering cultural institutions in the southern region include the Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center, Bayshore Center at Bivalve, Wheaton Arts, and Gallery 50, with the Noyes Museum of Art at Stockton University serving as the curatorial project leader. An example of such gatherings included the Bayshore Center at Bivalve, Flagship: Monument on the Move. The community engagement event invited participants to help shape a new

mobile public monument celebrating the stories of migration and labor in South Jersey. The selected public artist, Immanuel Oni, led interactive activities including storytelling, flag-making, and place-based art that explored identity, heritage, community values, and the evolution of traditions. The event encouraged participants to reimagine monuments as living, collaborative works that honor resilience, family legacy, and cultural pride while contributing ideas, symbols, and stories that will help guide the design and future journey of the monument across South Jersey. From these community dialogues, an exhibition was curated as an accumulation of the regional artists whose work reflected themes of migration, labor, and cultural identity, to honor the histories and contributions of immigrant and migrant laborers across New Jersey. The exhibition featured the following artists: Aislinn Pentecost-Farren, Alicia Saadi, Chanelle René, Chung-Fan Chang, Diane Rogers, Jacqueline Sandro Greenwell, Jonathan Yubi, Kandice Fields, Keith I. Wasserman, Kevin Quigley, Krystle Lemonias, Nadïne LaFond, Nastassia Davis, and Ritu Pandya. Artist Jonathan Yubi’s large oil painting, La Marcha de Octubre, reimagines the Women’s March on Versailles (1789) within a modern warehouse, centering the strength of immigrant women laborers. A group of workers gathers in solidarity, their orange shirts evoking both visibility and unity. The central figure holds a document marked PL 2023 Chapter 10, referencing New Jersey’s law protecting temporary workers’ rights. Name tags link three women to historic Latina labor activists, bridging past and present struggles. Surrounding shelves bear corporate packages, a reminder of the industries dependent on precarious labor. With brooms and mops raised as symbols of resistance, the women stand poised for collective action. Artist Krystle Lemonias created a tapestry, Shucking I, Sewing, using formal and intuitive processes with interdisciplinary techniques of gathering found objects, relief printmaking, and applique sewing. Lemonias stitched together intersecting themes of their stories. These pieces celebrate the history of Black migrants who seasonally shucked oysters in the Port Norris area. With an image reference from the Library of Congress, she constructed the tapestry using clothes collected from community events,

Artist Ritu Pandya, created a batik on silk depicting Goddess Durga as Shakti, the divine feminine energy, enshrined within a temple built intentionally for her. The temple form glows with layered color and rhythmic pattern, evoking permanence, devotion, and collective effort. Durga’s presence represents strength, protection, and generative power, the force that sustains life and community. Immanuel Oni currently lives in Brooklyn by way of Houston and is originally from Nigeria, has gained inspiration from the dialogues to launch Flagship, a new mobile art monument. At the heart of the project is the Sailbus, a transformed school bus honoring the journeys of migrant farmworkers and Japanese Americans who traveled to South Jersey for work, with its ribboncutting that occurred on August 1st in Atlantic City. Featuring reflective surfaces, community-designed legacy flags, audio stories, video installations, and interactive activities, the mobile monument celebrates the histories and contributions of immigrant and migrant labor communities while inviting public participation and dialogue. Flagship is one of three statewide monuments that reimagine public memorials as spaces for learning, reflection, and community connection, highlighting how migration and labor have shaped New Jersey’s history and identity. This fall, the Sailbus will be on view at Seabrook Farms on September 18th, the 48 Blocks Festival in Atlantic City on September 19th, Wheaton Arts on September 23 through October 4th, and Bayshore Center at Bivalve on October 9th and 10th. n For more information about NJ Monuments to Migration and Labor, visit njmml.com.

SOUTH JERSEY’S QUEEN OF CAVIAR

ou are invited to a unique and chic tasting event. As you arrive, you may hear people describing the product as “rich, complex, and nutty.” At this tasting, experts educate and guide you through the choices, explaining the subtleties between samples. By now, you are probably picturing a wine swooshing event — from Cabernet to Pinot Noir. Although your guess is a good one, wine is not what’s being tasted here. So, what are we sampling? Caviar — and specifically premium quality made from sturgeon farmed and processed in South Jersey — yes, South Jersey. So, put a shmear onto a crostini cracker and let’s get “carried away” by local caviar. New Jersey Sturgeon Strong Believe it or not, New Jersey has a rich caviar history. From the late 1800s through the early 1900s, Bayside in Cumberland County was considered one of the caviar capitals of the world. In fact, the area was once called Caviar, New Jersey. Premium eggs, from Delaware River sturgeon, were shipped to New York and exported to various parts of Europe, repackaged, and shipped back to the United States labeled as “Russian Caviar.” Today, the King Caviar Farm continues the South Jersey tradition. What started as a hobby 10 years ago by Dr. Septimiu Pastiu blossomed into a multi-generational business offering one of the “freshest and best tasting caviar in the United States.” Currently, King Caviar Farm boasts nine basins and a large pond supporting more than 30,000 pedigreed European sturgeon. All sustainably raised and preservativefree.

Carrying Caviar If you cannot come to caviar, caviar can come to you! No, it’s not DoorDash or Uber Eats, but caviar can come to your home or venue — complete with style and panache. That idea is the brainchild of Kristen McGee, founder of Caviar Carrier. The concept actually popped into her head one day as she was showering. She loved the idea of finding a classy way to serve caviar at a party.

McGee, a longtime caviar fan, believes in the product she chooses to serve: “While traveling, I experienced a variety of caviars, but they were so salty! Luckily, I have teamed up with King Caviar Farms, which provides us with caviar that contains only 2.8% salt. It is raised and harvested locally without the heavy preservatives imported caviar needs. It has now become my favorite caviar to enjoy.” Regardless of your event size or location, Caviar Carrier tailors to your needs. For example, the Set Package offers a fixed quantity of caviar, perfectly portioned for your guest count — ideal for cocktail hours, wedding receptions, and milestone celebrations. In addition to serving quality King Farm products like the rich and fullbodied Royal Siberian or the delicate and refined Sevruga, Caviar Carrier brings you “luxury in motion.” Highly trained caviar experts provide a fullservice experience to your guests. They circulate through your event toting custom harnesses complete with a silver-domed caviar service on ice, crème fraîche, mother-of-pearl spoons, and freshly prepared blinis.

Eats The servers gracefully interact with guests while answering questions about caviar — history, tastes, products, and nuances. McGee, who truly believes in the product she serves and how it is served, enjoys “spreading” caviar to her clients. She gets pleasure in seeing others get a feel (and taste) for caviar. One of her favorite caviar moments happened at a wedding she was catering. The nervous bride-tobe requested one of the Caviar Carrier’s come to her bridal suite. McGee recalls, “As we were serving her, I noticed she was a bit ravenous. I then handed her the entire tin of caviar and the pearl spoon. Standing there in her white wedding dress, she ate the entire tin! She then proceeded to lick the tin clean! This was the moment I knew our caviar is the best caviar on the market.” Know Your Caviar If you are already a caviar maven, visiting the locally farmed, ecologically processed, and packaged product is a plus. King Caviar Farms offers tours of the Swedesboro farm with Kristen McGee as your caviar host. At the farm, visitors see the sturgeon up close to get an understanding of the process. In addition, caviar can be purchased on site. There is nothing quite like meeting the source of what you’re about to taste — a unique New Jersey farm-to-table experience. Although some may feel caviar is not to their culinary taste, McGee feels passionately that everyone should and can experience what was once considered an upper-crust delicacy. With a wink, she jokes about those who are too culinary shy to try her beloved caviar, “Well, that leaves more for me!” n For more information about Caviar Carrier, to book a luxury caviar experience, or to shop their exclusive collection, visit CaviarCarrierNJ.com

529 PLANS VS. TRUMP ACCOUNTS:

WHICH IS BETTER FOR YOUR CHILD?

Trump Account is a federally established, tax-deferred account designed to give children a long-term financial head start. Contributions began in July 2026. One notable feature is the $1,000 federal seed contribution available for children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. Families can claim the contribution using IRS Form 4547. The $1,000 does not count toward the account’s annual contribution limit. Families and other eligible contributors can contribute up to $5,000 per child per year, with the limit scheduled to be indexed for inflation beginning in 2028. Employers may also contribute up to $2,500 annually, although those contributions count toward the $5,000 limit. There is an important consideration: No withdrawals are permitted during the growth period, which runs through the end of the year in which the child turns 17. At age 18, the account converts to a Traditional IRA controlled by the child. Where The 529 Still Has The Advantage For families whose primary goal is education, the 529 remains difficult to beat. Qualified 529 withdrawals are free of federal income tax when used for eligible education expenses, including tuition, room and board, and books. Another major advantage is control. The parent who owns the 529 generally retains control of the account, even after the child reaches adulthood. If one child does not need the money, the account can potentially be redirected toward another beneficiary. Additionally, unused 529 assets (up to $35,000) can be transferred to the beneficiary’s Roth IRA, subject to specific requirements. A 529 also offers considerably more investment flexibility. Families can generally choose from age-based portfolios, stock and bond portfolios, and more conservative options. By contrast, Trump Accounts are designed around broad, low-cost U.S. stock index investments and carry substantial market risk. The Trump Account’s Biggest Opportunity The strongest argument for a Trump Account may be the money a family does not have to provide itself. A child who qualifies for the

$1,000 federal contribution effectively receives a government-funded investment account. Employer contributions may provide another source of savings. For families already maximizing their education savings, a Trump Account can therefore serve as a separate long-term retirement sleeve for a child. At 18, the account becomes a Traditional IRA. A young adult would then be able to convert some or all of the account to a Roth IRA. From there, the account would grow tax-free all the way until retirement. This conversion strategy would create taxable income and needs to be carefully timed around the beneficiary’s income and tax bracket. The Best Strategy May Be Both For ongoing education savings, the 529 may remain the priority. It provides the tax-free treatment and flexibility that make it particularly well suited for college and other qualified education expenses. Additionally, setting up a Trump account if eligible for the $1,000 seed money would be a sensible approach. Families should also investigate whether an employer offers a Trump Account contribution or match. The Trump Account can then be viewed as an additional, long-term investment account and a way to give a child a head start on retirement rather than funding the next stage of education. The Bottom Line The emergence of Trump Accounts does not make 529 plans obsolete. Instead, it gives families another way to think about multigenerational financial planning. If the goal is education, a 529 is generally the stronger tool. If the goal is long-term wealth and retirement savings, a Trump Account may offer an attractive complement. A dedicated financial advisor can help you plan out which account types make the most sense for you and your family to help you achieve your goals. n
