Goldstar Plumbing-Heating & Air Conditioning
88 Railroad Avenue, St. James, NY 11780
631-584-3839
by Debra Vessa-Cleary
Time to take care of that leaky
faucet? Basement pipes need
repair? Goldstar Plumbing can
fix it fast. Thinking of having
central air conditioning installed?
From minor plumbing repair to
air conditioning and heating
installation, Goldstar can get the
job done quickly, efficiently, and
to your personal satisfaction.
Owner Joe Giacalone, a St.
James resident, has been in the
plumbing profession for over 20
years:
“I first became interested in
plumbing as a profession when I
was in the 10th grade and my
parent’s house in Hauppauge
burned down. I watched a construction crew rebuild what was
left of our hi-ranch from
sheetrock to flooring, from electrical work to plumbing. I
became particularly interested in
watching the plumber do the repiping. We struck up a conversation and, recognizing my interest
in his trade, he recommended I
attend BOCES, which I did.”
Since then Joe says that he
keeps up on the latest technologies of the trade by attending
professional seminars and taking
course work. He is personally on
site at every job that Goldstar
runs in a supervisory and often
hands-on capacity. According to
Mr. Giacalone, Goldstar
Plumbing does not hire subcontractors and every job is guaranteed. They offer all phases of
plumbing renovation and installation including bathrooms, gas
piping, waste piping and
kitchens. They do both residential and commercial work.
Fully licensed and insured,
OUR TOWN • JUNE 2006
the Goldstar team is on-call
24/7. They can almost always be
on site for any emergency within
two hours and make it a habit to
return calls within 10 minutes,
according to Mr. Giacalone.
“We also pride ourselves in
our exceptional customer service,” says Joe. “We will make
service calls after 6 p.m. weekdays and on Saturdays to accommodate working families. We
provide free estimates as well as
senior and veteran discounts.
And we pride ourselves in our
repeat customer satisfaction.”
Goldstar Plumbing provides
services from the Hamptons to
western Nassau and has been
featured on the home improvement television show “Moving
Up” on TLC. They are currently
offering a special on air conditioning start ups and installation.

Dear Parents of Adolescents:
Many parents have come to Energy with a variety of different concerns about their children, ranging from a lack of exercise to behavioral issues to improving their children’s sports
performance. Whatever the reason, the results have been terrific and some of our members
would like to share their successful experiences with you.
My 13 year old son, James, joined Energy in the summer of 2005.
Not being a natural athlete, he was out of shape and quite
pudgy due to inactivity. He started one-on-one training sessions
at Energy twice a week. James really enjoys his time at Energy.
Often after finishing his training at Energy he will leave saying
how great he feels and that he had a fantastic time. He can easily run the mile now, cutting seconds off his time each week, and
has slimmed down considerably. I am very proud of his accomplishments this year, and thankful to the caring and professional
staff at Energy for helping him achieve his goals.
– Wendy DeGaray, Smithtown
My 2 kids, 12 and nearly 14, are not much for
team sports. As a New Years resolution, we
agreed to exercise more, and since I was
already a member at Energy, my kids decided
they wanted to join as well. Over the past 5
months, I have seen tremendous improvements
in their endurance, strength and self-esteem.
They are proud to tell their friends that they
train at Energy. The atmosphere is fun and
friendly and now my daughter actually teaches
me her routines. It is also a nice way to spend
time with my kids.
– Renee Barriere, Smithtown
Because of the atmosphere and specialty services we offer, Energy appeals to many people who would not be comfortable or successful in other fitness clubs. The Energy team
provides the extra support, education, and personal attention that young people and beginners need to embark on a consistent and effective exercise program. We offer a variety of
unique services including One-on One Energy Training, Team Training and STRIVE
Circuit Classes. We are confident that every member can be placed on an effective fitness
path that’s right for them!
With the school year coming to an end, and summer just around the corner, now is a
great time to try something new. You’ll never know unless you make an effort!
Come in or visit our website at www.energy-difference.com

YOU’LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
Sincerely,
The Energy Team

Cottages to Castles House & Garden Tour
On Friday, September 8, 2006
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. you will
have the unique opportunity to
stroll through the luxurious gardens and properties of some of
the most prestigious and interesting homes in Nissequogue and
Head of the Harbor. COTTAGES TO
CASTLES, a house and garden tour,
is being hosted by the Smithtown
Garden Club, the Smithtown
Historical Society, the Smithtown
Township Arts Council and the St.
James Chamber of Commerce.
You will have an opportunity
to peek into these fabulous private residences... some glamourous, some charming, but all
are appealing. This exciting day
will pique one’s interest and
delight the curious. You will
come away with decorating and
garden ideas that will inspire the
creativity in you. The gardens
and private homes on the tour
have been graciously opened by
their owners, for the sole purpose
of supporting the sponsor organizations through this fund raising
event.
During your tour, please allow
ST. JAMES
yourself pause to indulge in the
“gourmet luncheon,” at the historic and private Nissequogue
Golf Club in St. James. Be sure to
stop at the St. James Episcopal
Church where you will have the
opportunity to shop at some of
the most interesting boutiques on
the Island at the lovely Mills Hall.
The day is designed so that you
visit the sites at your own pace,
with your own transportation.
Volunteers will be stationed at the
homes and will be able to answer
questions that you might have.
The homeowners that have so
generously opened their homes
have spared nothing to achieve
these spectacular environments
for gracious living. The concern
for detail in each home is very
apparent. You will roam through
a 42,000-square-foot historic
estate with manor house and
guest quarters complete with a
25’x50’ indoor pool and massage
room that meets the needs and
lifestyle of this “on the go” 21st
century family. Enjoy a fabulous
waterfront home recently restored
and decorated luxuriously for gra-
cious living inside and out – with
amazing detail. Visit an architecturally grand contemporary-style
estate, with its impressively
designed grounds, that has been
decorated with the help of a
renowned designer, and now fits
the fun lifestyle of this family. You
will see a dream come true for a
family with young children, and
with the help of their decorator,
took a contemporary and transformed it completely into a magnificent European-style home
with antique Louis XVI pieces.
Another stop on the tour will take
you on a historic journey complete with stained glass and
Tiffany windows. This is just a
sampling of what is in store for
you on September 8, 2006. Be a
part of this not-to-be-missed
event.
A donation of $75 gives you
entree to the private homes and
boutiques and includes a sumptuous hot and cold buffet luncheon
at the Nissequogue Golf Club,
(there will be 2 seatings - 11:0012:30 and 1:00-2:30). If you pre

Olivia & Harlan Fischer Arts Scholarship Awarded
For the eighth year in a row,
Head of the Harbor residents,
Olivia and Harlan Fischer have
presented two scholarships totaling $4,000 to two deserving
Smithtown High School graduates.
This year’s winners, who
received the scholarships at the
annual senior awards ceremony
on Thursday evening June 1,
2006, were Michael Mitchell and
Samuel Riss. Michael Mitchell
will pursue a degree in architecture from the University of
Buffalo while Samuel Riss plans
on attending the Crane School of
Music at SUNY Potsdam.
When we asked why he started
this scholarship program, Harlan
replied, “Donna Harlow would
bring the Smithtown High School
Chamber Orchestra to perform a
holiday show for our Rotary Club
each December. Watching the
students warm up and then perform, I just felt that the whole
group seemed like a bunch of
good kids that deserved support.
In addition the arts have become
a very important part of our lives,
we want to share our passion
with future generations.”
The scholarships are available
to seniors concentrating on, and
intending a career in design, the
fine arts or performing arts.
The Fischers have lived in the
town of Smithtown since 1973
and certainly aren’t strangers to

the arts or community service.
Harlan was president of the board
of directors of the Smithtown
Township Arts Council from 1992
to 1996 and the 1997-1998 president of the Smithtown Rotary
Club. Harlan served as Vice
President of the Board of Trustees
of the Suffolk County Vanderbilt
Museum
and
Planetarium
through 2000. Also, in the year
2000, Harlan was named MAN OF

“Pirate” Treasure Hunt for a Buried SUV
at Georgetown Volvo
Ever wanted to experience the
ways of a true buried treasureseeking pirate? Georgetown
Volvo of Smithtown in Saint
James will support Volvo Car
Corporation’s official promotion
of Disney's upcoming Pirates of
the Caribbean: Dead Man’s
Chest with a multi-media treasure
hunt for a Volvo XC90 V8 that has
been buried somewhere in the
world.
Here’s how she blows, me
hearties: beginning now through
July 11, individuals can visit
Georgetown Volvo of Smithtown
to pick up a free treasure map.
Once online, they are asked to go
to
www.volvocars.us/thehunt
and register for the world’s first
hunt for a buried vehicle.
Treasure hunters then will participate in a challenging, engaging
and fun-filled online adventure to
solve a series of online clues and
puzzles.
The buried one-of-a-kind,
pirate-themed Volvo XC90 features a variety of Pirates of the
Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chestinspired elements, including
menacing graphics from the film,
black leather seats, custom-painted 20-inch wheels and more.
Once registered online, individuals will have puzzles emailed
to them on a regular basis. Those
who solve the puzzles correctly
will continue to receive clues.
Individuals can join at any time
though July 11, and can catch up
with other participants if they correctly answer the puzzles. As the
contest progresses, the puzzles
will become increasingly harder
to solve, with the final online
clue emailed July 12. Volvo Car
Corporation will then select
seven finalists from around the
world who correctly guess the
answer to the final online clue.
In August, those finalists will
be flown with a guest to the
secret car burial location. Each
finalist will then set off on a
manic on-the-ground search for
the buried vehicle. The first treasure hunter to unearth the SUV
gets to keep it.
To participate, individuals
must visit Georgetown Volvo of
Smithtown at 633 Middle Country
Road in St. James to pick up a
treasure map. Winners will only
be eligible if they can produce
the original treasure map upon
conclusion of the hunt.

Testimonial
I’m a forty year old mother
of three. I started training
with Jay in October and by
December I had lost twenty
pounds and two pants sizes.
The inches are falling off
of me. It has changed my
outlook on life and myself.
Since training with Jay he
has given me the confidence
that I can do and accomplish
anything with hard work.

throughout the afternoon, from
the charming tea, catered by

the creative part of the event,
when the Princesses decorated

home.
Ariel and Cinderella mingled

New York Philharmonic Free Concert and Fireworks
July 15, 2006!
The 29th Annual New York
Philharmonic Free Concert at
Heckscher State Park will be
held on July 15. Tens of thousands have arranged their summer 2006 plans around this
date, knowing that the excitement of this world-class event is
not to be missed! Conductor
Xian Zhang will lead the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra and
guest violinist Jennifer Koh in a
program that will enchant audiences of all ages. As the last
strains of music fade into the
night, the evening sky will be
filled with the incandescent display of Grucci Fireworks.
This year the New York
Philharmonic Free Concert Committee of Long Island is proud to
once again work with Long
Island Cares, the Harry Chapin
Food Bank. Long Island Cares’
mission is to bring together all
available resources for the benefit of the hungry on Long Island.
All spectators will be encouraged to donate canned or nonperishable items to Long Island
Cares. Last year, over 1,600
pounds of food was collected.
Many families plan an entire
day's outing at the park, enjoying the many facilities and
opportunities for recreation, and
bringing along snacks, drinks
and a picnic dinner. The enjoyment of selecting their special
spot on the lawn, listening to
this exceptional music in a beautiful neighborhood setting and
ending the evening with a flurry
of fireworks is not to be missed,
as newcomers young and old
discover every year. The concert
is free, but there is a $10 per car
parking fee for the park until 5
p.m. After that, a $10 free-will
contribution will be requested at
the toll booth.
You can help support this
event by purchasing the full
color, limited edition commemorative poster for $25 or buying
raffle tickets at $2 each or a
book of six for $10. For more
information about how you can
help support this concert, call
the Islip Arts Council at 631224-5420. For program information and other questions, visit
their website at www.islipartscouncil.org. This site will

Sponsor a Homeless Dog or Cat
Little Shelter, a no-kill animal
shelter in Huntington, finds loving
homes for thousands of unwanted
pets every year. While at Little
Shelter, these animals receive the
best medical care and loving
attention the volunteers and staff
can possibly give.
Sadly, not all of the dogs and
cats find homes right away,
Sadder still, some are never
adopted and spend the rest of
their lives in Little Shelter’s care.
The cost of feeding, housing
and caring for all these animals is
huge. But for as little as $35 per
month, you can become a Little
Shelter Sponsor and help with the
cost of food, housing and medical
care of one animal. We have over
200 dogs or cats that you can
choose from or you can leave it
up to Little Shelter to choose for
you. As a sponsor, your name will
be listed next to the animal’s
photo on their website at
www.littleshelter.com.
Sponsoring is also a unique gift
for the animal lovers in your life.
Give a monthly or one-time sponsorship for birthdays, anniversaries
or any other special celebration.
Please call Little Shelter at 3688770, and become a sponsor
today. Check out the various dogs
and cats available for adoption or
to sponsor on

HEALTH VIEWS:
By Gregory R. Thomaier, D.C., C.C.S.P.
This article is part of an ongoing series presented in order to bring you the
very best and latest information about exercise, health and diet.
Drinking Enough Water
• Water is critical for our survival. In fact, after oxygen, it
is the second most necessary
life-sustaining factor.
• Under normal circumstances,
people can live for weeks
without food, but only for a
few days without water.
• Water helps form the fluid in
our joints, the mucus in our
lungs, and many other bodily
fluids. We need water when
we exercise or are exposed
to high temperatures.
• We lose water through
breathing, sweating, urination
and bowel movements. When
we lose excessive amounts
of water, or water and
electrolytes, such as sodium
and potassium, we get
dehydrated.
• Thirst, weakness, nausea,
irritability, dizziness, confusion, headache, abnormal
heart rhythms, and fluid accumulation in the abdomen
and/or the lungs may be
signs of dehydration.
• Dehydration can happen
much quicker when a person
is physically exerted. For
example, an athlete can get
dehydrated after an hour or
less of exercise.
• Fluid requirements vary. For
example, infants need more
liquids than adults because
their bodies maintain a higher
water content and their systems do not provide water
balance that’s as good as
what’s found in adults’
bodies.
• Fruit juices, carbohydrate
gels, sodas, alcohol and
high-sugar sports drinks
speed up dehydration by
stimulating excessive urine
production and/or decreasing
the overall beneficial fluid
intake.
• Daily water requirements for
adults are approximately 0.5
oz. of water for every pound
of weight.
• A general guide for replacing
water losses is 1 liter (34

“For the first half of my program I truly had to
convince myself that what I was doing and
the money I was spending was worth it.”
For the first six months I constantly berated
myself with feelings of guilt. Being the mother
of two, I was used to spending money for my
children’s lessons, practices, sports equipment
and other miscellaneous things that they needed, but I was not used to spending money on
myself. For the first half of the program I truly
had to convince myself that what I was doing
and the money I was spending was worth it.
After a year and a half of diligent training, I
can honestly say that every cent was completely worth it. I have not only completely transformed my body, lost 14 pounds and developed more self confidence, but I have taught
my children an important lesson.They have witnessed me waiver at times, doubt myself and
become frustrated as I have trained throughout
the past year, but they have witnessed my
determination, my self worth and the incredible
transformation of my body.
I have become a much happier mother who
has learned how to eat properly, take time out
for herself, and enjoy the new enthusiastic, confident and shapely woman that I have become.

Special Thanks
from the St. James Post Office
by Victoria Shipley-Wilson
Postmaster, Saint James Post Office
On behalf of the Long Island District, I would like to thank all
our generous Saint James residents for participating in the 2006
Annual NALC Food Drive. The post offices on Long Island were
able to collect over one million pounds of food that was distributed to over 600 local food pantries to help those in need during
the next few months.
PHONE CARDS NEEDED
Our next endeavor is to be able to ship more phone cards to
our soldiers overseas so that they may call home to their families, friends, and loved ones to ease their loneliness and assure
folks back home that they are safe. We are asking all of you
interested to please stop at the Saint James Post Office this month
to make a donation towards a phone card and also furnish us
with names of any serviceman/woman who may be newly
deployed overseas that may not be on our list yet.
All the phone cards you have generously donated in the past
have been sent overseas, and we have been advised that the soldiers are in dire need of more cards and how very much they
appreciate them. Thank you in advance for your generosity and
support. God Bless America and keep our troops free from harm.
Have a Happy & Safe

Bills and other important mail
left unattended in the mailbox
can hurt a lot worse than the sun!
Loss of valuables and identity
theft can be an expensive, inconvenient, and painful proposition.

invitation to burglars, a sign that
you are not home, flashing like a
neon sign: “Come on in and help
yourself!”
The good news is, the Postal
Service™ has a quick-and-easy
online answer to protecting your
mail while you’re on vacation.

YOUR MAIL” column and fill out
the information. Be sure to indicate how long you want your
mail held – from a minimum of
three days to a maximum of 30
days. The online service electronically notifies your local Post
Office™ to safely hold your mail
until the date you want delivery
resumed.

two weeks or more, you may also
want to consider signing up for

DESIGN IDEAS:
AARP – A Designer Downsize
by Natalie Weinstein,
Allied ASID
Downsizing to remain close to
home and work has gone from a
dream to a new landscape in
many parts of the country. I, as a
designer on Long Island, have
been lobbying for this concept to
become a reality in the past
decade, working to convince
builders and homeowners in surrounding areas that “over 55”
communities are viable, sensible
and help reduce the general tax
burden on towns.
Today, I’m pleased to say,
more and more condo communities, both over 55 and not, have
appeared, enabling the modern
senior to live and work near their
children and grandchildren, their
friends and the communities in
which they are involved. Many
such complexes contain clubhouses, health and fitness centers
with indoor and outdoor pools,
and some even have one or more
restaurants. All this, and no more
shoveling snow and mowing
lawns!
On Long Island, as in many
other areas across the nation, the
homes have appreciated tremendously in the last 20 or 30 years.
If a family maintained their
home, they could easily triple or
quadruple their investment.
Purchasing a smaller or easier to
maintain dwelling and newly
decorating it, probably would
leave folks with a little left over
and a new beginning.
So, how do people feel about
leaving their lovely, perhaps
secluded homes with larger
rooms, more storage and comfortable old surroundings? Great!
Change is a good thing. I know
because I not only have decorated dozens for clients, but left a
4,500-square-foot home on two
acres to live in a 2,000-squarefoot condo with a backyard the
same size as I used to have-only
now, I share it with 24 other families.
Is living easier? You bet. Has it
opened the way for new friendships? Absolutely. Has it freed me
to assess what physical things I
really need and those I don’t?
Clearly, the positives outweigh
the negatives, as so many people
are discovering.
As a designer whose concern is
to make the process as much fun
as the end result, I now realized
the shoe was on the other foot.
Perhaps it wasn’t as easy to pack,
move, stay in an interim dwelling
until the new digs were ready,
unpack and organize in a smaller
space, all while having fun.
There was an element of excitement, a few moments of hesitation considering if this was the
right move, but all in all it was a
new beginning – a way to get out
of the rut some of us feel we’re in
and share the new experience
with spouses, family and friends.
If nothing else, it sure gives you
something to talk about!
So now comes the big question? Can a condo feel like home
or is it just a place before the final
resting place or assisted living?
Here’s my story:
What does an interior designer
do when faced with the challenge
of creating a new home in a
condo after 27 years in a residence over twice the size? The
same thing she tells her clients –
OUR TOWN • JUNE 2006
clean up, throw out, organize
and get a plan.
Mine was to try to keep my
head above water, pack for an
interim move to a tiny apartment
before the actual move, juggle
some 40 clients, prepare my
radio show and articles and try to
keep my sanity. So where did I
begin? At the drawing board – of
course. Space was the key and
judicious planning would afford
me the ability to maximize every
inch I had to work with.
Good fortune smiled on the
Weinstein’s when we learned that
Michael Dubb was the builder.
The Beechwood Organization
(Michael and his partner Leslie A.
Lerner), are award winners and
Michael is the former president of
the L.I. Builders Institute, philanthropist, and a caring Long
Islander. He and I had an opportunity to get to know each other
on my radio show, and he was
kind enough to allow me the professional courtesy of designing
and creating my own interior
space.
Now the fun began! Enlisting
the aid of husband Bernie, whose
BNW Industries has provided
countless architectural and builtin solutions for my clients over
the past 15 years, it was now my
turn. I got out my wish list and
began to design it into reality,
and as it grew, so did my impatience. It seems our clients kept
getting bumped up to the top of
the orders, and I fell further
behind while our 500-foot temporary abode, with no washer and
dryer (terrible) and no kitchen
stove (not so terrible) seemed to
be shrinking.
D-day was Memorial Day
weekend when my elderly parents were coming to visit. Three
months to go and we had
sheetrock walls, one temporary
bathroom, no kitchen, vanities,
flooring, railing, cabinetry or
closets. But deadlines and prescontinued on page 99

COLLECTOR’S CORNER:
Scrap Booking Past and Present
by Carol Gibbons
Like many people who reach
this crossroad in their life, I have
trouble believing that my eldest
child is part of the Smithtown High
School graduating class of 2006.
Laura is 18 years old. I find myself
asking, where has the time gone?
Wasn’t it only two weeks ago that
we were sitting on the floor in the
playroom with scissors and glue,
crafting paper doll cut outs? The
photo album I’ve been keeping for
her over the years lets me know
this cannot be true. It is over
stuffed and exploding with pictures, awards, play bills, match
books, pressed flowers and certificates to suggest otherwise. When I
started this collection of life living
artifacts for Laura, I always intended to hand it over to her as she
entered the next phase of her life –
College. Similar to passing the
baton at one of her track meets,
and now that the time has come,
I’m finding it difficult to part with
this uniquely special collection
that summarizes my daughter. I
presented my dilemma to my
neighbor Noreen who is our
friendly neighborhood scrapbook

“we” meaning that she would help
me, clean it up a little. Get a new
book, reproduce as many of the
mementos and photos as possible
and create a new updated scrapbook, one that would truly tell the
story of Laura.
This idea really excited me and
I wanted to do it authentically.
First I began with the history of
scrapbooking in the Ephemera
Encyclopedia and it contained a
wealth of information that helped
me to understand how this craft
evolved. Beginning in 1769
William Granger published a book
about the history of England that
included blank pages so readers
could add their own illustrations.
Others followed and this process
came to be known as “grangerizing.” By the early 1800’s
embossed albums with blank
pages, similar to the ones used
today, were called common place
books. Thomas Jefferson and Mark
Twain were both known to have
kept a common place book about
themselves. In Germany, in 1836
the first official scrapbook
appeared, and when Queen

Victoria embraced this craft it
became a woman’s hobby. The
name given to the book by the
scraps and bits they filled them
with, locks of hair, pressed flowers, feathers, ribbons, calling
cards, poems, illustrations, and
letters. In 1870 die cutting and
stamping were introduced adding
another aspect to the craft. But it
wasn’t until 1888 when George
Eastman introduced the Kodak
camera that the scrapbook was
revolutionized, adding a whole
new dimension. In the 1940’s
Ansel Adams and other photographers started to use photography
as art, rather than a way to tell a
story. This new focus put scrapbooking on hold for many years.
Today
scrapbooking
has
returned bigger than ever, and
with the technology of computers
and digital cameras it is creative
and easy. The modern scrapbook
is imaginative, colorful and
through proper journaling tells a
fabulous story of its owner. The
goal is to get rid of the family
shoebox filled with unidentifiable
relatives, find out who they were,
tell their story, and give our families roots. Scrapbooking is a way
to preserve the past for our future.
Hopefully the scrap book I’m creating for Laura will be a proper
representation of her life’s story.
Laura’s great grandchildren should
be able to pick it up, look through
it and get a sense of who she was.
How special, how loved, how
uniquely wonderful she is to me
will be preserved and passed on to
others. I have come to realize that
a scrapbook is a gift one we can
give to ourselves and one that we
can pass on to those we love, even
those we have yet to meet.

REALTY WISE:
Why A Condo May Be Right for You
by Rita Clous
An option often overlooked by
those desiring homeownership is
purchasing a condominium or
condo. But, the traditional
detached single family home is
not the ideal situation for everyone. For those just starting out,
affordability may be an issue. An
empty nester may want to downsize and not have the hassles of
yard work and other maintenance. Or it can simply be that
the traditional family home doesn’t suit your lifestyle.
When you own a condo, you
own the title to the space within
the walls of your living quarters.
Common areas such as hallways,
roofs, parking lots, green areas
and pools are shared with the
other owners in the complex. The
more common type of condo is
the apartment-style, in which you
may have units on either side of
you and above and/or below.
However, there are other styles.
There are units that are designed
more like townhomes, with single
or multiple levels and one or two
common walls with neighbors.
You may even find a condo in a
building that was a multi-unit
apartment converted to condo
units.
Condos are attractive to many
buyers because they offer them a
chance to own their residence
and build equity at what is sometimes a lower cost than a singlefamily detached home.
One factor to consider is that
condominium owners generally
must pay a condo association fee
monthly. These fees defray the
cost of maintenance, repairs and
upgrades to the community’s
common areas as well as the cost
for the services of a property
management company.
However, if you would rather
spend your free time doing something besides mowing the lawn,
painting the outside of your
home, or waiting at home for the
pool maintenance person, then a
condo may be for you.
Other advantages of owning a
condo are the amenities that may
be part of your complex such as a
pool, tennis courts, fitness center
or clubhouse. These are some of
the perks you might not be able
to afford or even have room for if
you were to purchase a singlefamily home.
Of course, as with all things,
there are some disadvantages to

NATURALLY SPEAKING:
Enjoy These Hot Summer Days
by June A. Liardi
Summer
is
here
now.
Vacations, picnics, reunions,
camp and boating. We really
don’t have a vacation from gardening though. Your plants really
need you now.
Make sure to keep an eye on
your container plantings. They
may need water twice a day now.
The heat and humidity will dry
them out. Add some water-soluble or fish emulsion fertilizer
when you water. The nutrients in
the soil will leach out each time
you water.
You should keep after the
weeds also. These unwanted
plants will rob vital water from
your flowers and vegetables. It
will probably be a good idea to
work at dusk or dawn during
these hot days. Make sure to protect yourself from mosquitoes.
You should check for any standing water in your yard. Even the
smallest amount can breed hundreds of the pests.
This is about the last time you
should pinch back your mums.
Feed them every 2-3 weeks until
buds form. You will be rewarded
with nice bushy plants this fall.
Keep deadheading your flowers, it really pays off with continued blooms. It is a good excuse
to just stroll around the garden at
the end of a hot, busy day.
Stay with your zucchini plants.
Harvest them when they are
small and tender. Use some of
the blossoms too, for cooking.
You can dip them into batter and
fry them. If you don’t have any,
you can often find them at the
farm stand. The owners are usually helpful with recipes also.
This is the time to take cuttings
of some flowering plants and
herbs to grow inside this winter.
Some that room well are geraniums, begonias, lavender, marigolds and oregano. Fresh herbs
during the winter are a treat.
As the lettuce and peas in your
garden finish, clean them up and
of boiling water over the herbs
and let steep for 20-30 minutes.
Refrigerate until cold. You can
then add the juice of a lemon or
orange and serve over ice with a
sprig of fresh mint.
If you have a rainy day and
need to occupy the children, they
can create a seaside picture.
While away at the shore or just
during a walk on the beach start
collecting. Collect some sand,
small shells (look close, there are
real small ones), pebbles, driftwood, dried seaweed, beach
grass and feathers. Get some oak
tag or cardboard, tacky glue and
markers. Using all these materials, have each child create a
scene of a favorite spot, a favorite
memory or a fantasy place. You
could even get a shadow box and
frame the creation.
amend the soil with compost and
manure. You can start to plant
your fall garden of beets, broccoli, carrots, kale, spinach and
lettuce. This is also the time to
plant seeds of perennials. This
will give them a headstart for next
year.
You can prevent your lawn
from creeping into your garden
beds very simply. Just roll up
some sheets of newspaper and
lay them between the bed and
the lawn. Just cover with mulch
and you’re done. Your lawn
mower will just roll right over it
too.
After all this yard work you
may want to settle down in the
shade with a refreshing ice herb
tea. Some good candidates for
your tea are lemon balm, lemon
grass, any mint, lemon or lime
verbena and pineapple sage. Put
about 10 fresh lemon or lime verbena leaves, 10 or more mint
leaves, a stalk of lemon grass and
2 tbs. of chopped ginger into a
heat resistant bowl. Pour 2 cups
OUR TOWN • JUNE 2006
You probably have tomatoes
ripe by now. Here is a tasty idea
for your next party. Cut some
slices of Italian bread and brush
both side with olive oil. Sprinkle
with pepper and bake at 425º for
5-7 minutes, or until crisp and
light brown, turning once. Top
with mozzarella cheese, pieces of
chopped tomato and snipped
fresh basil. Drizzle with olive oil
and sprinkle with salt.
Have a happy and safe 4th of
July. Celebrate with a red, white
and blue dessert of farm fresh
raspberries or red currents, luscious homemade whipped cream
and plump blueberries, yum. Of
course, we’ll need to take a walk
or swim some laps after that.
Enjoy these, hot, summer days.

Cars, Truck and Motorcycles
by Jim Winter
Cars and trucks far outnumber
motorcycles on the roadways. No
matter what type of vehicle
you’re driving, everyone needs to
follow the rules of the road and
watch out for other vehicles. But,
drivers of cars and trucks often
don’t recognize or see motorcycles. Because of their smaller
size, motorcycles may present
special concerns for motorists.
To help motorists better understand the need to share the road
with motorcyclists, here are some
safety tips from the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation (MSF-USA):
• Motorcycles may look farther
away than they really are.
When preparing to make a
turn, assume that the motorcycle is closer than it appears.
• Take extra caution in checking
blind spots, as a motorcycle
may be hidden from sight by
the body of your car or
masked by objects such as
bushes, fences and bridges.
cyclist to always be able to dodge
out of the way or be able to stop
on a dime. Continually scan the
road in front of you for all types of
vehicles and allow more following distance behind a motorcycle, for your safety and that of the
motorcyclist.

• Motorcycles may appear to be
going faster than the rest of the
traffic, but don’t assume every
motorcyclist is a speed
demon.
• Motorcyclists can slow down
without activating the brake
light. Turn signals may not
cancel after a turn. Allow
greater distance between your
car and a motorcycle for stopping and don’t assume turn
signals mean they are going to
turn again.
• Motorcyclists often adjust their
position in a lane so they can
be seen more easily, avoid
debris or minimize the effects
of passing vehicles. Don’t
assume that this adjustment is
a reckless maneuver.
Although motorcycles have
greater maneuverability than cars
and trucks, don’t expect a motor-

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING
S A V V Y
MONEY MATTERS:
Investing...
The Most Basic Question
by Scott Posner, CFP, A.A.M.S.
This column is coming up on eight years old!
Over the past eight years this column has taken a
look at a variety of investment topics. We have
looked deep into the intricacies and nuances of the
markets and economy. We have looked at the
macro and microeconomic picture. (Fancy words
for big and little.)
This month will be a
return to basics. Not the
difference between a stock
and bond. Not the definition of risk or how to set
goals. I mean VERY basic.
What is investing? This
very basic question is
rarely analyzed. Have
some fun with this question. Ask people what
investing is and you will
get answers like: buying
and selling stocks; managing a portfolio of investments; planning for retirement; strategic allocation of liquid assets. (OK, if
you get the last answer you are talking to someone
with a deep love economics.)
In its most basic form investing is simply your
second business. No matter what your primary
business or job, investing is another business. You,
the investor, own that business. You have to decide
what is the goal of the business. Is the goal to produce more income than your primary business or
job? Is it to supplement your income immediately?
Is it to have something to leave your kids? You must
decide.
Like any business, funding becomes a primary
concern. Starting an investment business requires
money like any other business. The better funded
you are, the bigger business you can have. Unlike
most businesses, investing can be started with
almost any amount and built slowly. Many businesses require significant funding in order for them
to have a chance at survival, investing is not one of
those.
Let’s play a game. Instead of calling it an investment business let’s call it a dress shop. Where will
your dress shop be located? There are stores available with high or low rent. Is location important to
you? It should be! Look for the location that makes
sense for you. Maybe 5th Avenue in Manhattan is
right or perhaps Main Street would be better. Do
NOT make your decision solely on the rent, instead
make your decision on the value. Your goal is not
continued on facing page
OUR TOWN • JUNE 2006

F I N A N C I A L
continued
to have the dress shop with the
lowest rent, it is to have the best
return possible on your dress
shop business. Keeping money in
a mattress avoids taxes and fees
but will it provide results?
Who will manage the shop?
Unless your primary job is selling
dresses at Macy’s you probably
are not the best expert available
to manage the shop. You want to
find a good manager to run the
shop. Here is a stumbling block
for many shop owners. Would
you hire a manager for your dress
shop, hand them the keys and say
goodbye? I hope not. Like most
successful business owners, you
want your manager to keep you
informed. They don’t have to
make you a dress expert, but at
least explain what is happening
in the business. Also they must be
accountable for their results. As
the owner you need to know how
to measure the success of your
dress shop manager. What are
you going to base their results on?
In investing there are many
benchmarks, the key is to pick
the one that is right for you.
What will you stock in your
dress shop? How about nothing
but size 6 red evening gowns?
Not a very smart decision. I want
my shop diversified in order to
meet the varied needs and desires
of my customers, just like I want
my portfolio diversified in order
to meet the varied situations in
the markets and economy.
Hopefully, this column has
given you insight into the “business” of investing or perhaps a
head start in opening your very
own dress shop. Just don’t forget... Investing should be everyone’s second business. Treat it as
such. Interview managers to find
which one works best with you.
Build it like any other business
and hopefully one day the
income from that second business
will grow past the income of your
primary business (or job).

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE:
Meeting the Financial Needs of Single Baby Boomers
by Lawrence Glazer, CLU
Today, Baby Boomers are at a
unique juncture. The largest generation when they arrived, they
now face rising healthcare costs
and imminent retirement. And
single boomers must often bear
sole responsibility for managing
their households and making life
decisions; thus, planning for the
future often becomes a moving
target. But it’s important to plan
for the unexpected, and prepare
for a financially secure future.
short-term protection, term insurance might be for you. Premiums
are set for a pre-determined period and increase later on, though
policies can be purchased with a
conversion privilege.
Permanent insurance, initially
more expensive than term, has
fixed premiums, and can be customized to suit your needs.
Another plus – your policy builds
tax-deferred cash value that can
be accessed through loans or
withdrawals.1
The Importance of
Life Insurance
Life insurance is crucial –
regardless of whether you have
dependents. Most boomers have
debts – a mortgage, education or
car loans. And final expenses can
run into the thousands. If something were to happen to you,
who would be responsible for
such debts?
If you are a single parent, legal
guardian or godparent, you may
want to purchase life insurance,
taking into consideration future
costs such as college and childcare. For those financially assisting parents, you may also need to
consider who’ll bear the financial
burden, should the unexpected
occur.
Disability Income Insurance2
As a single boomer, disability
income insurance is crucial. If
you were unable to work, could
you meet basic expenses – mortgage or rent payments, food and
clothing?
In the event of an injury or illness, you may not be able to rely
on workman’s compensation or
Social Security. Usually, workman’s compensation only covers
work-related accidents, and
Social Security disability insurance – which is minimal – is
available only if you’ve worked
long enough and your disability
prevents you from working for at
least a year.
Some employers offer disability
income insurance, and you
should probably take advantage
of this. If you want to enhance
your coverage – or don’t have the
Permanent or Term?
If you’re looking for affordable
option through work – you may
want to purchase an individual
policy. There are a variety of
plans available offering different
coverage options; choose one
that replaces at least 50%-70% of
your income.
A Win/Win Will
As a single person, you may
not immediately realize the
importance of having a will. But
you someday may want to leave
possessions or assets to specific
friends, charities or family members. A legal will naming your
beneficiaries helps ensure that
your legacy plan becomes reality,
and can mitigate possible legal
battles. Talk to your attorney
about creating one.
Planning for Your Retirement
After you’ve ensured the financial protection you need today,
it’s important to ensure your
financial tomorrow by leveraging
strategies that can help maximize
growth. Tax deferral is one
proven method. Your 401(k) or
403(b) plan at work may be the
best place to start, especially if
your company matches any part
of your contributions. IRAs can
also be an excellent choice – and
your contributions may be tax
deductible.

Congratulations to Harbor Country Day School fifth
graders, Meghan Pinezich, Rose Brennan and Lauren
Solito. These very clever “stocksters” placed #1 in
Newsday’s Stock Market Game. They researched many
companies, keeping track of their selling prices each
week since October. The students also wrote letters to
a company asking for information about why they
should invest in their company. Their research and
good decisions earned them $30,000, using a virtual
$100,000 allotment from Newsday. Kudos to Harbor’s
number one team. Harbor Country Day School is a private nonprofit independent school located at 17 Three
Sisters Road in St. James. For information call 5845555.
May was scholarship month at the Smithtown Rotary Club.
The club was proud to award scholarships to Kayla Towey
and Caitlin Klein of Smithtown West and Sakia Anwar of
Newfield. This year marked the first time the Helene
Seidell Scholarship was granted in memory of past president Dick Seidell’s wife. Helene’s love and dedication
towards education will be memorialized through the
scholarship in her name.

St. James Students are Winners of Lioness Essay Contest
submitted by Ron Parmegiani
Two fifth grade students from St. James Elementary
School were the proud recipients of the coveted
award that recognized them as “JUST SAY NO,”
poster children. The Smithtown Lioness Club honored Evan Finger and Hannah Spates on May 2, 2006
for their diligent work in the infantile stages of wiping
out the drug war that plagues our schools. The
Smithtown Lioness Club conducts an annual essay
contest to promote drug awareness. The two students
feverishly composed essays competing with just shy
of 400 other participants from the Smithtown and
Kings Park School Districts. Each student was given
the opportunity to read the words that they wrote resonating their commitment to remain drug free.
Hannah Spates, Smithtown East Division third
place winner, and Evan Finger, Smithtown East first
place winner, were filled with nervous anxiety as
they read their essays aloud to distinguished guests,
parents, Lioness members and their peers. All of the
essays contained similar messages, “Drugs Are A
Drag,” the essay contest theme. St. James Elementary
School and the community at large have something
to be thrilled by – our youth have received the message that drugs will not allow them to soar and will
only inhibit their fullest potential.
Hannah Spates wrote:
You have taken a hopeless chance. Angel dust
does not give you an angel’s wings to fly up high
in the sky; it will only give you a devil’s tail to sink
down below the ground. It may give you a feeling
of entering into a whole new wonderful world
beyond the earth’s boundaries. But, when you
really come back down to earth, you feel burnt out
and horrible. Don’t let that addiction become your
affliction because you are victim of their situation.
Even Finger also took a tough stance on drugs:
Mr. Michael Klee (left) and Mr. Ron Parmegiani (right
back), are pictured with Lioness Essay Contest winners (lr) Evan Finger and Hannah Spates; also pictured is Evan’s
twin sister, Sara.
Now just remember, if you smoke, your goals in
life will be set in flames. But, if you make the right
choice, you can achieve your goals and live a
longer and healthier life.
Their words speak volumes as to the commitment
that our community makes to ridding our streets of
the harmful and adverse effects of drugs. Congrats to
all of our winners.
That evening, the Smithtown Lioness Club hosted
a terrific Awards Dinner. We are confident that their
commitment to our community is valued and the
message is clear to the kids that they they will soon
be our ‘future.’ Thanks and congrats again.

Sensational Reviews for HCDS Book Fair!
Book Fair fever was ignited with a visit from author
Dan Greenburg to Harbor Country Day School on
Thursday, March 30, the day before the school’s
Spring Book Fair. In an interview, Greenburg said, “I
love making people chuckle and shiver at the same
time.” The author was impressed with the participation from Harbor County students in grades 2 through
5.
The Spring Book Fair event, held on Friday
evening, March 31 at the school, located at 17 Three
Sisters Road in St. James, surpassed all expectations
of fun and grandeur! An exceptional New York City
street fair ambience with clusters of amazing balloon
displays and a great selection of children’s and adult
books provided by BookSmart set the stage! Authors
Dan Greenburg and Alyssa Satin Capucilli were busy
chatting and signing books for eager readers!
Entertainment was provided by HCDS street musicians, while Dr. Dannenberg (Harbor parent) created
many animal balloons. To round out the festivities,
visitors had their faces painted and enjoyed ice cream
sundae treats at Harbor’s Serendipity!
“Climb Aboard the Reading Express” evening was
indeed festive and buzzing with chatter! “We are
proud of the overwhelming support from the Harbor

SJUM Nursery School Learns About Fire Safety
From making Easter bonnets
and ties the first week of April to
a visit to the St. James Fire
Department at the end of the
month, students and teachers at
St. James United Methodist
Nursery School, 532 Moriches
Road in St. James, have been
most busy.
The children were thrilled to
see the new addition to the St.
James Fire Department, a robot
called Sparky. Sparky’s job is to
teach everyone how to “fall,
drop, and roll” in case of fire and
how to crawl low when in dark
smoke. The 4-year-olds visited
the firehouse and the 3-year-olds
were visited by Fire Marshall
Kevin Peterson and Fireman Bob
McGovern. The children thought
it was great fun when they were
given the opportunity to hold the
fire hose as water shot out.
Special thanks to Firemen Bob

Students Who Struggle to Learn:
“What Should I Do This Summer?”
by Linda De Motta, MA
A few weeks ago, I met with a
young woman – I’ll call her
Loretta – and her parents to discuss her entrance into college in
the fall. Loretta had been diagnosed with Attention Deficit
Disorder (ADD) during her last
year in high school, and her parents were concerned that she
might not get enough support
once she got to college.
The theme of independence
and self-advocacy informs almost
all of the articles I have been writing these past few months, but
this anecdote demonstrates the
concept in real terms. During our
conversation, Loretta said something important about her capacity to perform well in school. She
told her parents that they have
been providing a crutch for her
too often in the course of her educational career, and then Loretta
said that she wanted the opportunity to fall off the crutches and get
up on her own two feet using her
own resources.
Loretta’s parents responded
admirably in the face of such a
powerful and passionate declaration. Following further discussion, Loretta’s parents agreed to
allow her to complete the rest of
this academic year in high school
without the “crutches.” It was a
difficult, courageous and nurturing response, especially after
such a somewhat painful, open
and honest discussion between
parents and daughter.
At the end of the conversation,
one parent mentioned Loretta’s
disability, to which this intelligent and independent young
woman responded adamantly, “I
am not disabled” – yet another
powerful and poignant statement.
I was quite impressed by this
family’s ability to come to terms
with their differing opinions
through a positive conversation
that ultimately will become the
start of the “letting go” process, a
process that must take place
between students and parents
once the students have graduated
from high school.
Now, this story has a second
lesson for us. Loretta’s parents
noted that Loretta may not have
all the resources within herself
that she may need to succeed in
school on her own. So we developed a plan that might help
Loretta develop some of those
resources before she leaves high

continued
school and during the summer
months before going off to university. We did not want to choose
the conventional activities –
reading novels and newspapers
throughout the summer; keeping
a journal; joining a book discussion group; practicing basic calculations – all of which can help,
but Loretta needed something
unconventional – or at least a different twist on the conventional
ideas.
Instead of keeping a journal,
Loretta might write letters about
her thoughts on current issues in
the news – but these letters will
be addressed to an imaginary
child, an imaginary senior citizen, a grandparent, an uncle, any
audience that will force her to
change her use of language from
one letter to another and to
address the issues in terms of the
interests of each type of audience.
If Loretta does read any novels,
she might imagine how she
would stage the novel as a play or
film; this exercise would encourage her to condense, summarize,
find main ideas and interpret the
major themes necessary to give
the play some pith. Instead of
balancing her checkbook using a
computer or calculator, Loretta
will balance it with good ol’ pencil and paper (remember that?).
And I invited Loretta to correspond with me throughout the
summer on how she is doing with
these and other exercises we
included in our new plan. The
opportunity to correspond with
someone who will provide regular responses to her ideas and
reactions can help Loretta learn
to revise her comments in writing, dig deep into issues, challenge her own opinions and clarify and substantiate her thoughts.
Loretta and her family are discovering that her label as “disabled” is not helpful to Loretta.
She may benefit from some
accommodations in her first year
N E W S
in college, but this is a person
who wants to eventually leave
behind the world of accommodations. I have no doubt that she
will not only develop new strategies for learning, but also uncover the resources that already exist
within her.
Similar to Loretta, students
who struggle to learn can develop
their own systems for organization and time management as
long as they get the job done, so
to speak. Some students need to
count on their fingers for math

Proper Portions
by Alicia Watins
We all know that when we
read we begin with A B C and
when we sing we begin with Do
Re Mi... (well, according to
Rodgers and Hammerstein, anyway). So, it only makes sense that
when we diet we begin with 1 2
3. Yes, numbers! As in portions!
We live in a ‘supersize it’
world and have lost all sense of
reality when it comes to proper
portion control. And, well, to be
honest, when dieting, size does
matter! So what is a proper portion, you may ask. Allow me to
have the honor of satisfying your
curiosity!
Fats: Limit added fat to no
more than 1-2 tablespoons per
day. Fats should comprise
approximately 20% of your daily
caloric intake. (That’s 400 calories on a 2000 calorie/day diet!).
Sugar: Limit added sugar to no
more than 2-6 teaspoons. (That’s
a total of 30-90 calories per day
from added sugars; not the sugar
in a piece of fruit!).
Dairy products: A serving is
one cup of milk (cow, soy, or
rice), 1 cup of yogurt, 1/2 cup of
cottage cheese, 1-1/2 ounces of
natural or soy cheese or 2 ounces
of processed cheese. Low-fat or
non-fat dairy products are recommended (the full fat variety provides too much saturated fat and
therefore extra fat calories). Aim
for 3 servings per day!

Nutritional Guidance
Fish, Meat, Chicken, Eggs, and
Beans: One serving of fish, poultry or lean meat is 2-3 ounces.
Therefore, up to 6 ounces of fish,
poultry or lean meat is recommended per day. Other serving
sizes are: 1/2 cup cooked beans,
1/2 cup tofu or tempeh, 1 whole
egg or 2 egg whites, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, nuts or
seeds. Generally, 60-80 grams of
protein will suffice (this would be
found in a total of 12-14 ounces
of lean meat, or about four-six 15
ounce servings per day. One
ounce of lean meat provides
about 7 grams of protein). Try to
limit eggs to 3 a week!
Vegetables: One serving is 1
cup of raw vegetables or 1/2 cup
cooked vegetables. A serving of
vegetable juice is 1/2 cup. If you
are going to overindulge, raw
vegetables are for you. You definitely get the most bang for your
buck here (you can even make a
small non-fat yogurt dip to enjoy
with your veggies). Have at least
4 or more servings per day.
Breads, cereals, rice, pasta, or
other starchy vegetables and
carbs: One serving is 1 slice of
bread, 1/2 of a bagel, bun or
English muffin, 1 ounce (1/2-1
cup) ready-to-eat cereal, 1/2 cup
cooked cereal, rice or pasta. Get
familiar with labels. Many companies are now producing items
with fewer calories and more
fiber in one entire bagel, bun or

English muffin. Stick to high fiber
whole grains and limit yourself to
3-5 servings per day, depending
upon your personal caloric
intake.
Fruits: A serving of fruit is 1
medium sized whole fresh fruit, 1
cup of berries or a medium slice
of melon; 1/2cup chopped,
cooked, or canned fruit, 1/2 cup
fruit juice. Try to stick to fresh
fruit; it gives you the most fiber
and often the least amount of
sugar. Be sure your choice of fruit
juice does not have added sugars.
Avoid coconuts, olives and avocados; they are best considered
as fats! Enjoy 3 servings of fruits a
day!
Always be sure to eat breakfast
(studies show that breakfast eaters
have a lower Body Mass Index
than non-breakfast eaters), eat 56 mini meals throughout the day,
and eat in response to hunger!
You should never feel excessively
ravenous or ridiculously stuffed
(that’s for Turkey’s).

The “Chiropractic Headache”
by Dr. Linda M. Bocchichio
Headache disorders account
for about 120 million lost workdays per year in the U.S. alone.
Controversy exists to explain the
“mechanism” of all types of
headaches, particularly cervicogenic headaches. Tension-type
headaches account for 78% of all
headaches and statistically, this
includes the so-called “cervicogenic” headache. Because of the
results we see in our offices treating headache, it seems almost all
headaches can be related to biomechanical problems in the
upper cervical spine, thus cervicogenic in origin. Past research
and opinion has not agreed.
However, recent research publications and conference presentations are starting to explain how
our headache patients benefit
from chiropractic treatment.
The International Headache
Society (IHS) recently published
its second edition of headache
classifications. Headaches are
divided into primary and secondary. Primary headaches account
for 95% of all headaches and are
made up of Tension/Stress (78%)
followed by Migraines (16%).
The Secondary category of
headaches only account for 6%
of the total, which are related to
an underlying pathology as in the
case of the patient’s having a
tumor. Dr. Nikolai Bogduk, in
The Anatomical Basis of Cervicogenic Headache, explains: “By
definition, cervicogenic headaches is a pain in the head whose
source lies somewhere in the cervical spine.” Technically, a cervicogenic headache constitutes a
particular form of referred pain
from the cervical spine.
The definition implies an

Tips on Bridal Hair

A girl’s wedding day is the
most special day of her life. The
final product is always beautiful

the big day. All brides want
everything to be perfect including
their hair. A bride’s hair is her

without the cherry on top!
Achieving perfect hair may seem
like a challenge, but can be very
easy if you have an organized
plan.
Hair preparation is very important as a first step in achieving
your ultimate goal of perfect hair.
On your wedding day you want
healthy, shiny hair. Your first step
is consulting with your stylist on
the status of your hair condition
and what hair care products you
should use.
What you cleanse your hair
with is extremely important. As a
general rule it is not advisable to
shampoo your hair before styling
because it might become too slippery to handle. Different hair
types require different shampoos.
The elements of nature such as
pollution, dirt, dust and sunlight
increase the amount of damage in
the hair. Using the proper conditioning treatment for weeks in
advance will ensure you healthier, stronger, shinier hair.
Mechanical damage on hair
caused by blow dryers, flat irons
and curling irons and also chemical over processing from coloring, highlighting and perming can
leave hair weak, limp and damaged. If hair is severely damaged,
you should start deep conditioning at least twice a week for 20
minutes.
Make sure that you use styling
products that you are familiar
with because you might be allergic to something new.
Having a good haircut is also
essential in having a great wedding style. It will help to have
some idea of what your hairstyle
will be for the wedding because
certain styles require certain
lengths. Getting regular trims
about once every four to six
weeks is highly recommended.
Your final trim should be about
two weeks prior to the wedding,
you don’t want to have too much
of a “fresh cut” look.
Experimenting with hair color
just before your wedding is probably not the greatest idea. Your
last coloring treatment should be

continued
two weeks prior to your wedding
day. If any changes need to be
made there will be plenty of time.
It is not recommended to change
your hair color within two
months of the wedding.
The wedding gown will play a
major role in deciding on a hairstyle. Your hair and gown should
match in degree of formality. For
example if you are getting married on a beach and shoes are an
option than you might not want a
very fancy and ornate type of up
do. If you decide on a Vintage,
Victorian, or Medieval look, a
modern style with a sparkling
tiara won’t do. Putting the hair up
may not even be necessary. Try
some fresh flowers and maybe
some soft flowing tendrils or a
formal braided style. A sleek
French twist may be appropriate
if your gown is more formal,
modern or very conservative.
Consider the neckline of the
dress. If the neckline is fancy, a
necklace or jewelry may not be
necessary. If a gown were strapless wearing the hair down or half
up would work perfectly.
Now that you’re hair is in tiptop shape and you have chosen
your gown it is time to consult on
the updo style with your hairdresser. Your stylist needs to let
you know how many trial do’s
that you need to schedule. It is
also a good idea to come in with
a button down shirt on your wedding day. Make sure you decide
on an updo style before you
choose a veil or headpiece. Make
sure that your hair will hold up at
an outdoor wedding. Extensions
or hairpieces might add volume
or length if you need it.
Your wedding day is the happiest day of your life. All of your
friends and loved ones will have
their eyes on you. Please remember that your hair is a frame for
your face and can make or break
your entire look. Now that you
and your hair look spectacular
you can happily say, “I do.”

And they mean the world to me
When these colors are displayed

As they demand respect

These colors are shown around the world
Always in full view
They consist of stripes and stars
Were even displayed on Mars
These colors are, Red, White and Blue

have taken mostly college prep

there are many students who

exactly. In future articles, I hope
to address issues related to other

Hon.
Thomas V. Mallon
The Honorable Thomas V.
Mallon, formerly of St. James,
passed away on May 11, 2006 at
the age of 78.
Thomas Mallon, a World War
II Veteran, was raised in Westbury
and graduated from St. John’s
University Law School. As a
young attorney, he worked on the
successful 1959 campaign of Bob
Brady the Democratic candidate
for Smithtown Supervisor. After
taking office, Mr. Brady appointed Mallon Smithtown Town
Attorney.
In 1972 he was appointed to
succeed the late District Court
Judge Bill Munro. Judge Mallon
later became the first Democrat
from Smithtown to become a
Family Court Judge and a County
Court Judge. He was known to be
a very honest jurist and a very
practical judge who got people to
work things out. He was known
to be firm but fair on the bench
by his friends and colleagues.
Judge Mallon, always with a
warm smile and a good sense of
humor, had lots of friends and got
along with everyone. He loved
golf and was a member of St.
George’s Golf Club.
Family was very important to
Judge Mallon, and he was close
