Geraci Condello
529-D Lake Avenue
(across from the St. James
RR Station and Gazebo)
St. James, NY
686-5929
by Elizabeth Isabelle
Welcome to St. James’s newest
fashion boutique, Geraci Condello! Offering a unique and
eclectic mix of women’s clothing
(sizes 2-22), heirloom children’s
clothing and accessories, fashion
artwork and framing, one-of-akind custom made jewelry,
hand-crafted leather bags, custom designed clothing and so
much more, Geraci Condello has
something for everyone. Owner
and St. James resident Madeline
Grudens, a Fashion Institute of
Technology alumni with a background in pattern making and
design, has created a wonderful
environment sure to please the
shopper in all of us! According
to Madeline, “We make and can
customize most of our products.
We encourage our cliental to
come in, experiment with our
make-up, try on clothes and chat
– with absolutely no sales pressure. Our goal is to have our customers feel like they have a
fashion home. A place to discover new things. A place to decompress.”
Inspired by the great fashion
houses of Paris, Geraci Condello’s fashion art handbags are
created by making hand
sketches, layering the sketches
on the computer and then printing the design on heavy canvas.
Handbags are then embellished
and lined with luxurious satin
which can also be personalized
with your name and even a short
story or message. Beautiful Italian patent leather, brass closures
and leather wrapped chains
complete your very own one of a
kind fashion accessory. Hand
tooled leather bags are made
from soft tooling leather and are
hand stained to bring out the detail in the carving. Each bag is
hand stitched and finished with
brass chains and closures.
Chains can be lengthened or
shortened according to your
preferences. Looking for a special occasion
dress? Why not have Madeline
custom design and fit you for
your special event. Exquisite fabrics, expert fabrication and superb fit will make your
individualized fashion art inspired garment a piece that is
uniquely you. Hand crocheted
wraps, made from the finest yarn
imported from Italy are the perfect finishing touch for your
spring and summer wardrobe. Be
sure not to miss Geraci Condello’s growing collection of vintage clothing and vintage
inspired pieces. Geraci Condello
has also designed a custom line
of jackets, available in the fabric
of your choice, meticulously executed to your measurements.
Experience the difference that
custom tailored clothing can
make to your wardrobe. Leisure
wear, fabulous undergarments,
cashmere blend socks, sweaters,
slacks and dresses round out the
choice offerings at this exceptional boutique. Madeline also
designs and handcrafts necklaces
made from precious metal clay,
each one a work of art.
Custom Hand-Embroidered Special Occasion Baby Gowns.
For babies, the boutique carries a magnificent collection of
beautiful hand embroidered special occasion baby gowns, hand
crocheted dresses and baptism/
dedication sets. Madeline will
create a custom baby gown just
right for you and your child.
These delicate works of art will
become your family’s cherished
heirlooms for generations to
come. At Geraci Condello, giving
back to the community is as important to Madeline as is your utmost satisfaction. In this continued on page 93

St. James 9/11 Memorial to be Erected
The St. James Fire District has
spearheaded a 9/11 Memorial
construction project. The Memorial will be constructed on the
property of the St. James Fire District, located at 221 Jefferson Avenue in St. James. The centerpiece of the memorial site will be a steel column that
was originally located in the
lobby of the North Tower (One
World Trade Center). The steel
column was donated by the Port
Authority of NY & NJ and is re-
ferred to as the “bowtie section”
of the column. The design plan for
the memorial site will consist of
the steel column installed on a reinforced concrete foundation, as
it was originally erected in The
North Tower. The site will also
contain lighting, miscellaneous
landscape features, a commemorative plaque, and benches. On September 11, 2011, there
will be a Dedication Ceremony to
formally open the 9/11 Memorial
Site, and to remember and honor
the 2,973 people that lost their
lives as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. At
that time all those who played a
role in the construction and successful completion of the St.
James 9/11 Memorial Site will be
acknowledged.
Donations are being sought in
labor, materials and money. For
more information and to be a part
of this project honoring all the
people who lost their lives on
9/11, please call 584-5799.

The WE CarE Program, in
which the St. James VFW Post 395
pays the postage for packages and
mail to the troops fighting overseas, has been an unqualified success. An average of 33 packages
per month have been sent to our
military by families and friends,
and also by special arrangement
from groups such as schools, catechism classes and scout troops.
If you know of a soldier who is
not getting any mail, do a good
deed. Let us know and we will
make sure that individual doesn’t
go empty-handed at mail call.

The St. James Chamber of
Commerce is happy to congratulate the 2011 Grand Marshall
and the Princesses and Princes of
the 27th Annual St. Patrick’s Day
Parade that was held on Saturday, March 12, 2011 along
Lake Avenue.
The Board of Directors of the
St. James Chamber of Commerce
is proud to honor Smithtown Supervisor Patrick Vecchio as the
2011 Grand Marshall in their
27th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
A former New York City detective sergeant, Patrick Vecchio has
held the office of Smithtown Supervisor for 32 years, 12 consecutive terms; longer than any
‘Supervisor’ in the State of New
York. He is chief executive officer of the Town of Smithtown,
which is the eighth largest town
in the state of New York, with a
population of 116,000, and a
budget of approximately $100
million with approximately 500
full time employees. Supervisor
Vecchio is an Adjunct Professor
Smithtown Supervisor

Supervisor Vecchio has maintained an ‘open door’ policy
throughout his tenure and projects impeccable integrity, regarding the politics and protocol of
his position in government. He
has dedicated almost four
decades, to the towns, hamlets,
and villages he represents; and
listens to and truly cares about,
his constituents. He has demonstrated that he is a knowledgeable, eloquent speaker, who has
participated in numerous events
throughout the years. His ‘prayer
breakfasts’ are, and have been,
indicative of his acknowledgements; and dignify his recognition of the importance of ‘belief’
in his daily life.
Supervisor Vecchio has indicated that he is deeply honored
to have been chosen as Grand
Marshall in the 2011 St. James
St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

HINTS, TIPS & GREAT IDEAS FOR KEEPING YOUR PROPERTY BEAUTIFUL
SPRING IS THE TIME
TO GROW GREAT LAWNS!
Spring is finally here! This is the time to get some fresh air. It is
also a time to take care of your lawn to prepare it for the spring and
summer months. Prevent spring weeds or crabgrass from attacking
your lawn. A beautiful lawn takes a little bit of effort, but is well
worth the time and money spent.
Crabgrass is a weed that grows as the weather warms, but the
time to control it is now. Its invasive growing habits are very damaging to desirable turf. Crabgrass basically smothers the good
grasses that surround it and forms a crabgrass scar as it dies in the
fall. These scars fill in again with crabgrass next year and the cycle
continues. If not prevented or controlled, crabgrass can literally take
over your entire lawn.
The best weed control is healthy lawn! This would require improving the soil so the grass will thrive. How do you do this? Start
with a soil test and get an early start. You will get better results by
seeding, liming, fertilizing and watering early in the spring before
crabgrass begins to germinate. Be sure to get a quality seed blend
right for your growing conditions. Keep in mind, it’s not magic. If
you can grow weeds there you can grow grass. If you are having a
difficult time growing weeds or just have dirt or moss, this is a sign
of soil or shade problems that will need to be addressed. Go to our
website to see Helpful Tips-Shade Lawns for more useful info.
Some people choose to use herbicides to control the outbreak of
crabgrass. This should be applied two weeks prior to the germination of crabgrass. The timing for this coincides with bloom drop of
forsythia bushes. If you are not sure when this would be, contact a
professional horticulturist for advice.
Spend time in the yard and garden this year. A little work goes a
long way and it’s great exercise too! You and your family will enjoy
the benefits and rewards of a beautiful lawn and landscape all year
long. If you feel that you do not have the time to take care of your
lawn and landscape always feel free to contact Emerald Magic for
a Free Evaluation and Estimate.
While crabgrass is a nasty weed that can take over your lawn,
there are other spring weeds that can overrun your flower beds. Here
are some tips to help prevent and eliminate weeds from growing.
• Turn the soil with a trowel or hoe. This will help to uproot young
weeds and expose their roots.
• If pulling those weeds by hand, make sure to pull the roots too.
• Plant your vegetables and flowers closely together. This will
help shade-out weed seedlings.
Look on our website under Helpful Tips to learn about weed resistant shrubs, perennials and flowers.

St. James Student Gives Locks of Love
Smithtown High
School student Phoebe
Hannan, of St. James,
donated her hair to
Locks of Love, a nonprofit organization that
provides hairpieces to
financially disadvantaged children in the
United States and
Canada under age 21
suffering from longterm medical hair loss
from any diagnosis.
Locks of Love meets a
unique need for children by using donated
hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the
children helped by Locks of
Love have lost their hair due to
a medical condition called
alopecia areata, which has no
known cause or cure. Phoebe’s
hair was cut by Lisa at T. Carltons Spalon (a Locks of Love
sponsored salon). Here are her
before and afters shots.

Harbor Country Day School is very pleased to announce that its Board of Trustees has voted unanimously to appoint Mr. James J. Young III as its tenth
Head of School, effective July 1, 2011. “We are so excited to have someone of Jim’s caliber joining Harbor to lead us forward,” said David
A. Essex, Chair of the Board of Trustees. “Jim’s a
proven leader with a track record of success at every
point of his career. We could not be more pleased
to have Jim joining the Harbor family.”
Mr. Young has been Headmaster at the Rocky Hill
School, a coed day school of 320 students in East
Greenwich, Rhode Island. Over the course of his 16
years at Rocky Hill, Mr. Young compiled an impressive record of success, strengthening its academic
programs, growing enrollment and enhancing the
school’s reputation as a strong academic institution. Prior to Rocky Hill, Mr. Young was Headmaster of
Bridgton Academy in North Bridgton, Maine. His
other previous positions include: Head of Middle
School at Bancroft School in Worcester, MA; Assistant to Headmaster for External Affairs, Director of
Admissions and Financial Aid, and Development at
Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire;
and teacher of biology and ocean sciences at the
Moses Brown School in Providence, RI.
“I am truly excited to be joining the Harbor family,” said Jim Young. “Harbor Country Day School is
a special place, and I fell in love with it upon my
first visit. It’s clear to me that Harbor offers an exceptional educational experience, especially given
all of the challenges facing public schools these
days. I look forward to working with the Board, the
faculty and the entire Harbor community in years
ahead.”
Mr. Young received his B.S. in Zoology from the
University of Rhode Island and was awarded an
Ed.M. in Education Administration from Harvard
University. He pursued advanced studies in Psychology at Brown University and was selected for a Klingenstein Fellowship for Heads of School at Teachers’
College, Columbia University. Mr. Young is a member of numerous professional associations and has
served as a trustee on many non-profit Boards.
Jim Young will succeed Christopher C. Pryor, who

Robin Rosenberg with her daughter Brooke.
St. James Author
Publishes Children’s Book
Celebrating Diversity
From the days of Thomas Paine, Americans with
something to say have used the printed word to express themselves.
First-time author Robin Rosenberg’s ideas about
diversity, acceptance, and bullying recently blossomed into published form via Brookie Cookie
Bookie, a children’s book now available from Amazon.com and Rosenberg’s website, www.BrookieCookieBookie.org.
“I think in general every parent has that fear of
their child being bullied or not being accepted,”
Rosenberg said. “Writing this book, I was looking
for a way to encourage conversations with children
about acceptance.”
The author, who worked in college admissions for
10 years, hopes Brookie Cookie Bookie will serve as
a discussion starter that helps parents and caregivers
speak to toddlers about diversity and celebrating individuality. Adults might read the book aloud to children, then ask and answer questions about the
book’s message and its characters.
Featuring Rosenberg’s poetic verse, the words in
the story are highlighted by the drawings of her own
daughter, Brooke, and several of Brooke’s close
friends and extended family; meanwhile, the book’s
characters, a colorful goup of toddlers, discuss each
other’s likes and dislikes. In this fictional conversation, differences are not only acceptable, the book
seems to say, but important: they have the potential
to bring us closer together.
“It’s about finding common ground with people
they may not feel they have much in common with,”
Rosenberg emphasized. “I just want to get this message out there.”
A portion of proceeds from sales of the book will
be donated to charities assisting children facing different types of adversity.
For more information, contact St. James author
Robin Rosenberg at 631-379-8636 or visit www.

Donate Prom Dresses for Teens in Need
Team Dozen Divas is a community service group that consists of twelve 16-year-old girls
from Smithtown. They belong to
the organization Proud girls on
the move. Each month they plan
a community service event to
help out in the community. In the past they have made
1,000 sandwiches for a soup
kitchen, decorated a less fortunate family’s house for the holidays and lavished them with
donated gifts; put on a fashion
show in collaboration with Old
Navy and the girls of the Little
Flower Orphanage.
For the month of March, they
are holding a PROM DRESS
DRIVE for girls who are unable
to attend prom because they
cannot afford a dress. The event
will be held in late March where
girls in need from all over Long
Island will be able to pick a dress
free of charge. Many Long Island boutiques
have shown their support by donating dresses to the “Prom
Dress Boutique.” The more
dresses they receive the more
girls can be served.
So please do your part and
help them out with this month’s
give, “The Prom Dress Boutique,” and donate a dress that
you think deserves a second
dance! Don’t just let your old
dresses sit in your closet, give it
to a girl who will be happy to
wear it. Help make a girl’s dream
come true and let her have an
amazing night at prom, just like
you did.
All
dresses are
needed,
long or
short, at
any size.
Please be sure that it is gently
used. You can drop off your dress at
Daniel R. Bracciodieta & Associates, 312 Lake Avenue, right
across the street from the St.
James Post Office. Daniel R.
Bracciodieta & Associates is
open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Please drop off a dress before March 24 if you are
interested.
If you have any questions
about the event, or would like to
attend, please email Justine at djustine@hotmail.com, or PJ at

Cleaning For A Reason
Foundation is a not-forprofit organization helping those who have
cancer. A clean house and
environment contributes
to the welfare and recovery of patients. Fighting
cancer is difficult enough,
living with it is even tougher… that’s where the
Cleaning For A Reason Foundation steps in. Cleaning For A Reason is the only national nonprofit in
the country providing FREE, professional housecleaning services for women undergoing cancer
treatment. The Foundation, organized as a Texas non-profit
corporation in May 2006, is raising money to provide more help for more women everywhere. The
only criteria for a woman to be accepted into the
program is verification of treatment for cancer. The
Foundation extends this help to all women undergoing cancer treatment.
The Foundation matches qualified patients first,
with cleaning companies who have pledged to
provide four (4) free housecleaning visits to each
women in the program as long as they are undergoing treatment for cancer. The Foundation recruits professional housecleaning businesses to donate time and money.
Housecleaning businesses must be insured and/or
bonded and perform background checks on their
employees. Each cleaning company commits to
servicing at least two free accounts per month and
contribute monthly financial pledges which are
used to help sustain the base operations of the program. Today, there are over 850 Partners offering
free services to women throughout the United
States and Canada.
Cancer patients are encouraged to visit
www.cleaningforareason.org and fill out the online
request form for services under the “cancer patient” link. Fifty applications are accepted Monday
through Friday at 12 noon Central Time. Not all
areas are serviced. Partner locations are located
under the “locations” link on the website. Typically, the maid service businesses will travel up to
15 miles from their business location. Donations from corporations, individuals and
grants are vital, based on the heavy demand for
services. Sponsorship programs and fundraisers are
utilized to help recruit more maid services and
promote growth and expansion in order to help
more women everywhere.
The need for professional cleaning service companies participating in the foundation is growing. continued on page 93

LIVES, LOVES AND LAMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF ST. JAMES:
Willie Collier’s Villa,
the Heart of the Actors’ Colony in St. James....
by Bradley Harris,
Smithtown Historian
Especially for Our Town, I
am writing a series of short
stories about people who
made St. James their home
not so long ago. I hope
that these stories will add
to your knowledge and appreciation for the wonderful history of our town, St.
James.
At the turn of the last century,
the little country village of St.
James became a favored spot
where many theatrical personalities of the day gathered to frolic
and gambol their summers away.
By the summer of 1903, over
100 theatrical performers – actors and actresses, comediennes,
dancers, singers, jugglers, acrobats, vaudevillians, and managers – were making a
pilgrimage to St. James to spend
a few months of relaxation in the
sunlight. In St. James, this assemblage of performers gathered in
an area they called “Collierville,”
a little community that was located in the wooded hollow
where Three Sisters Road and
Harbor Hill Road intersect in
today’s incorporated village of
Head-of-the Harbor. It was here
that Willie Collier’s villa was to
be found, on the northeast cor-
ner of Three Sisters Road and
Harbor Hill Road.
To the theatrical folk who
flocked to St. James for summer
relaxation, St. James was known
as Collierville. They knew it as
Collierville because of its association with “Willie” Collier, an
actor, playwright, and comedian,
who had made St. James his
summer residence in 1889.
“Willie” Collier was the son of
Hattie and Edmund Collier. Edmund Collier was at one time
one of the best-known actors in
the country and he married Hattie Engel after meeting her when
she was performing as a dancer
on stage. This marriage of theatrical greats produced a family of
theatrical greats. There were four
children: “Willie” who became
famous, Helena Collier Garrick
who was an actress, John Collier
who did not pursue a career in
theater, and Catherine Collier
Campbell who was also an actress. From this theatrical family,
Willie Collier got an “itch” to be
in the theater. (“Mrs. Collier Died
Yesterday,” New York Telegraph,
July 2, 1898.)
Born on Nov. 12, 1864 on Varick Street in Manhattan, Willie
headed for “the stage as soon as
he was old enough to know the
location of the neighborhood
theater.” Starting as a youngster,

he worked as a “call boy” for Augustin Daly’s theater company
and was given minor parts in
several theater productions.
Shortly after leaving Daly’s theater, Collier appeared as a star
on Broadway. At the age of 22,
he co-starred with the famous
actor Charles Reed and, in his
thirties, he appeared as the lead
in “The Man From Mexico,” “On
the Quiet,” “The Diplomat,”
“Twirly, Whirly,” “Are You My Father?,” “The Dictator,” “A Fool
and His Money,” and many other
light comedies. His prominence
on the stage brought him into association with another famous
actor of his day, George M.
Cohan. Collier and Cohan became fond friends and the foremost actors of their day. (This
information about Willie Collier
came from an undated, un-attributed newspaper article that is
part of a scrapbook on file in the
William Collier collection of the
New York Public Library on 42st
and 5th Avenue.)
Fame brought fortune to Willie
Collier, and in 1889, using his
new found wealth, he purchased
a small farmhouse on 15 acres of
land on the northeast corner of
Three Sisters Road and Harbor
Hill Road in St. James. Willie
was drawn to St. James because continued on page 42

H I S T O R I C A L L Y
S P E A K I N G
Willie Collier’s Villa
as a little boy he had spent summers there with his father. “He
became so infatuated” with the
area that when he became a successful actor, he returned and
purchased the farm so his family
could enjoy summers in St.
James. (“Blissful Summer Life of
Colony of Clever Men and
Handsome Women Who Have
Solved The Problem of Social
Contentment,” un-attributed
newspaper article from 1902
contained in the Willie Collier
scrapbook on file in the Willie
Collier Collection of the New
York Public Library on 42nd St.
and 5th Avenue.) The original farmhouse on the
property was small and Willie
“spent considerable money improving his place” and gradually
extended the house into a handsome villa, “surrounded by extensive and well cared for
grounds.” The house as it looks
today is considerably changed
since at one time it had three
stories with an attached turret
and a porch that ran across the
full front of the house. It was said
that the house contained a “billiard room” and “all the appointments of a country gentleman’s
establishment.” In this house,
Willie Collier and his wife Louise
Allen, and numerous guests,
spent their summers from 18951905. (“Stage Favorites Loaf the
Summer Away,” The Morning
Telegraph, July 13, 1903.) Willie purchased a farm and
he continued to run it as a farm.
On the property he had a vegetable garden, two stables, with
associated outbuildings, three
pig pens, a hen roost, an icehouse and a windmill. The pride
of the farm was a prize-winning
Yorkshire pig named “Willie”
who was kept in the pig pen
along with “Mrs. Pig and a lot of
little porkers.” Apparently nothing delighted “’Farmer’ Collier so
much as to lean over his pig pen
and talk” to his favorite pig
“Willie.” The hen roost with its
“big cackling aggregation of
chickens” was located near the
windmill and the hens were
carefully tended by Mrs. Collier.
The Colliers also kept a milk cow
which could be found grazing
the Collier meadow. The cow
supplied the family and friends
with fresh milk. In the stables,
Willie had two horses. One was
Louise Allen’s “saddle horse, a
blue ribbon animal,” and the
other horse was a “thoroughbred” named “Bunker” that
Willie Collier occasionally
raced. The menagerie would not
have been complete without the
six fine English setters that were
housed in the farm’s kennel.
Willie Collier had almost every
appliance needed to run a wellregulated farm and he had even

gone so far as to install “a main
for acetylene gas and a waters
system.” All this made the Collier
farm one of the finest properties
owned by any member of the actors colony, and the Colliers welcomed many of their friends to
the their villa. (“Blissful Summer
Life of Colony of Clever Men and
Handsome Women Who Have
Solved the Problem of Social
Contentment,” un-attributed
newspaper article from 1902
contained in the Willie Collier
scrapbook on file in the William
Collier Collection of the New
York Public Library on 42nd St.
and 5th Avenue.) The Collier villa became the
heart of the actors colony. It was
here that one could find other
actors and discover what was
happening in the community.
Because of this, many actors
rented houses nearby and the
Collier villa became the geographic center of the colony that
the theater people called “Collierville.” This was the place to
be while enjoying the summer in
St. James.

Remember the Ladies:
A History of American Women in Song
The Smithtown Township Arts
Council will hold a lecture by
Linda Russell, REMEMBER THE
LADIES: a History of american
Women in Song on Sunday,
March 27 at 2 p.m. at the Mills
Pond House, 660 Route 25A in St.
James. Admission is free, but call
ahead to reserve at 862-6575.
Visit www.stacarts.org for directions and further information.
This presentation is a musical
survey of the history of women in
America. By looking at the popular songs of the past – the ballads,
love songs, suffrage anthems,
work songs and dance tunes – we
can trace the perceptions and realities of women’s lives. The music
of the day shows the role of
women in 18th and 19th century
American society. Accompanying
herself on mountain and ham-
mered dulcimers, pennywhistle,
guitar and limberjack, Linda Russell explores the images in the
songs, interspersing the music
with lively commentary that includes excerpts from diaries and
letters in which the women tell
their stories in their own words. Balladeer/musical historian
Linda Russell has explored America’s past through song for over 30
years. She has performed at many
venues including Carnegie Hall,
Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors and
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s
American Wing and has recorded
eight albums of traditional and
historical music.
This Speakers in the Humanities
event, which is free and open to
the public, is made possible
through the support of the New
York Council for the Humanities,
a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Presented by the Long Island North
Shore Heritage Area www.linsha.org

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.
Choosing the right Pillow
with so many choices, choosing the right cervical pillow can be
challenging. However, it is one of
the best investments you can
make for the health of your spine.
there are three normal curves
in the spine that need to be maintained. If not, abnormal stresses
are applied to the spine and over
time can lead to neck, shoulder,
upper back, mid back and possibly lower back pain. A good cervical pillow will help maintain your
neck curve and lessen the stress
to your cervical spine.
the spaces created between
your body and the mattress varies
depending on the position you
sleep in. cervical pillows are designed specifically to support your
neck in a neutral position when
sleeping on your back or on your
side. Sleeping on your stomach
is by far the worst position, and
not recommended, as you have to
turn your head to the side thus
creating a torsional stress to the
cervical spine.
cervical pillows come in differ-
ent sizes. It is important for you
to choose the correct size pillow,
which will vary depending on
whether you are a back or side
sleeper. An improperly sized pillow will not maintain proper alignment and potentially cause
discomfort. when sleeping on
your back you should use a pillow
that cradles your head and fills
the small void created from the
back of your neck to the mattress.
when sleeping on your side, your
shoulder width plays a roll in deciding the size of the pillow. Obviously this distance will be different
amongst us and you should be
measured for it, but ultimately you
want to maintain a neutral posture
without your head bending down
or being kinked up. For those
who find themselves sleeping on
both their side and back throughout the night, there are pillows designed to accommodate both
positions within a single pillow.
On a side note, the added benefit to maintaining good cervical
posture with sleeping is that it re-

duces snoring as your breathing
passage is better aligned and not
obstructed.
when considering the average
person sleeps approximately one
third of their life, choosing the
right cervical pillow to maintain
good posture is a wise investment.
If faced with the challenges of
deciding what pillow to get please
give us a call, as we would be
more than happy to guide you in
your decision.

New Stamp Issues
Latin Music Legends
On March 16,
2011 the Postal Service issued a latin
music legends commemorative stamp
(Forever priced at
44¢), in five designs in a pressuresensitive adhesive pane of 20
stamps. With this stamp the U.S. Postal
Service honors five musicians and
performers of the Latin sound
whose contributions have had a
lasting impact on American
music – Tito Puente, Carmen Miranda, Selena, Carlos Gardel, and
Celia Cruz. Among the distinctive
musical genres and styles represented are latin jazz, samba, tejano, tango, and salsa. For these
stamps, artist Rafael Lopez, San
Diego, CA, painted semi-realistic
portraits of each musical artist designed to evoke their personality,
their vitality, and even their
sound. He used a warm palette of
colors – from bril liant yellows,
pinks, and lime green to rich

suggest the flavor and energy
these artists brought to their work.
Each musician is depicted in midperformance. Art Director Ethel
Kessler says, “My goal was that
when you see the stamp, you hear

The latin music legends stamp

Neon Celebrate!
On March 25, 2011 the Postal
Service will issue a neon Celebrate! special stamp (Forever
priced at 44¢), in one design in a
pressure-sensitive adhesive pane
of 20 stamps.
Inspired by a visit to the Museum of Neon Art in Los Angeles,
Art Director Phil Jordan began to
think about the possibility of using
neon to depict a stamp subject.
He decided that a “neon Celebrate!” stamp, with its imagery of
vivid colors, fit the bill. The black
background of the stamp is reminiscent of a night sky. Like a fireworks display on a summer
evening, brilliantly colored images of swirls, circles, and dashes
in pink, blue, orange, yellow, and
green seem to erupt from the
ground to illuminate the darkness.
Each letter of the word “Celebrate” and the exclamation point
that is part of this stamp’s official
title, are highlighted in bright
white light.
The neon Celebrate! stamp will
go on sale at the St. James Post Office on March 25.
Jazz
On March 26,
2011 the Postal
Service will issue
a Jazz commemorative stamp (Forever priced at
44¢), in one design in a pressure-
sensitive adhesive pane of 20
stamps. The U.S. Postal Service is proud
to pay tribute to jazz, America’s
musical gift to the world, and to
the musicians who play it on festival stages as well as in studios,
clubs, and concert halls. Art Director, Howard Paine, designed
the stamp to showcase the work
of Paul Rogers, an artist living in
Pasadena, California. In creating
the art for the stamp, originally
using ink on paper and then finishing his work digitally, Rogers
explored the way images could
become a visual equivalent of
jazz music. He was inspired by
the cover art from vintage jazz
record albums – work that captured the music’s improvisational
quality while built on a clear understanding of its underlying
structure. The Jazz stamp will be available
at the St. James Post Office on
March 26.
Herbs
On April 7, 2011 the Postal
Service will issue a 29¢ Herbs
stamp in five designs in a pressure-sensitive adhesive pane of 20
stamps and a coil of 100. These
stamps will be denominated at the
postcard rate.

DESIGN IDEAS:
Almost Spring and Are We Green?
by natalie
Weinstein,
allied aSId
Is it almost
spring? Are
we there yet?
How much
longer? If
you, like me,
yearn for a
greener world, (literally and figuratively) now’s the time to make
it happen. Soon enough we’ll be
involved in outside activities and
interior home projects will be
put on the back burner. While
I’m all for getting the outside
green and ready for spring and
summer fun, let’s think of “greening” the interior.
Green projects, large and
small, benefit you, your family
and the environment. The following are some things you can do
before the great outdoors becomes too tempting. All that is
needed is a new mindset and the
willingness to change old habits.
Think of it. If we each changed
10 things we’ve always done, replacing them with 10 healthier
and more planet friendly actions,
what strides we could make!
Here are simple suggestions from
a great little resource called “Just
Green It!!” authored by Lisa and
Ron Beres.
1. Consider green cleaners instead of Windex or better yet, try
vinegar (2 cups of water to 1 cup
white distilled vinegar) and use
newspaper instead of paper towels to clean glass without
residue.
2. Use essential oil scented
candles or a diffuser to scent
your home instead of conventional air fresheners that only
mask odors. Try toothpaste, not
silver polish, olive oil, not Pledge
and wool dryer balls, not Bounce
to limit the toxins in your home.
3. Use plants for air purification, not ionic air purifiers. Some
of those that remove formaldehyde, benzene and carbon
monoxide are bamboo palm,
Chinese evergreen, English ivy,
corn plant, pot mum and peace
lily.
4. Use high efficiency pleated
filters, not fiberglass, and change
at least 4 times a year or when
dirty.
5. Use energy star appliances
not older models to reduce your
bills and avoid wasting energy.
6. Instead of tap water use a
home water filtration system for
drinking and showering to keep
your family safe and healthy.

7. Use stainless steel containers not plastic bottles to help recycling and your own health.
8. Use a coffee mug not paper
cups and save cups from going
into the landfill (Starbucks gives
you back 10¢ if you bring your
own cup!).
9. Try surge protectors not wall
outlets which protect your electronics and makes it easier to
turn off your equipment at the
end of the day.
10. With innovations and tax
credits, maybe it’s time for you to
think solar and conserve on electricity. Check it out.

NATURALLY SPEAKING:
Spring is Finally Here – New Life is Everywhere
by June a. liardi
“april prepares her green traffic
light and the world thinks go.”
– Christopher Morley
It is such a pretty month. Enjoy
the smiling faces of all those
beautiful, colorful pansies. Pick a
few for your table, they will reward you with more flowers. The
sunny yellow blooms of the forsythia brighten the landscape. On
the forest floor look for the bright
green ferns with their fronds unfurling. Notice the many shades of
green all around. New life is
everywhere.
April is National Gardening
Month so get out there and get
your hands into the warm soil.
Plant something, anything.
As your perennials start to grow,
put the plant supports in place.
There are many styles available at
your local nursery. You can also
use your old tomato cages, cut to
size, bamboo sticks, or just the
branches you have left from your
prunning job. The idea is to get
them in place so the plants grow
up through them.
You can prune roses and rose of
Sharon now, and azaleas as they
finish flowering. Do not cut foliage from spring-flowering bulbs,
cut flower stalks only. Cut your ornamental grasses if you haven’t already.
Towards the end of April you
can direct-sow zinnia, cosmos or
California poppy seeds. In the
vegetable garden, plant potatoes,
onions and shallots. Direct-sow
carrots, beets, kale, and more lettuce, spinach and radishes. Make
sure you save a space for your
child’s garden. Your child will love
planning, planting, harvesting and
eating his/her own vegetables.
If you don’t have any growing
outside in your garden, do buy
yourself a hyacinth plant, its sweet
perfume will scent your whole
room.

MONEY MATTERS:
Do Some Spring Cleaning on Your (Financial) House
by Scot Posner, CFP, a.a.m.S.
It’s spring – time to clean out
the gutters, tune up the lawnmower and wash down the windows. But as you attend to these
types of tasks around your home,
why not take the time to do some
financial “spring cleaning” as
well? Specifically, consider these
moves: “Dust off” your investment
strategy. If there’s an area in your
home that you haven’t looked at
for a while, you may need to dust
it off in preparation for the new
season. And the same principle
may apply to your investment
strategy – if you haven’t examined
it for a while, it may be time to
clean it up to prepare for a new
season in your life. After all, since
you initially designed your invest-
ment strategy – that is, the total
amount you invest, the percentages going into “growth” and “income” vehicles, the dollars going
into taxable versus tax-deferred
accounts and so on – many things
may have changed for you, such
as your employment situation, the
number of children in your household and even your long-term
goals. Consequently, you may
need to revise your investment
strategy in consultation with your
financial advisor. “De-clutter” your portfolio.
The chances are pretty good that
if you look around your house,
you’ll find many things that are
actually duplicates, such as those
five coffeemakers you’ve accumulated over the years – so you decide to “purge” a few. And when
you take a close look at your portfolio, you might find several investments that you’ve added over
time and that are similar to each
other. If that’s the case, you might
help yourself by selling the “redundant” investments and using
the proceeds to buy different ones

CDs and Deferred Fixed Annuities: Which is Right for You?
submitted by lawrence glazer,
Clu, ChFC, luTCF
You can’t turn on the news
today without hearing fresh reminders of the turmoil in the markets and the broader economy. In
this uncertain climate, many people are anxious to try to find a safe
place for their savings.
Two popular options are certificates of deposit (CDs) and deferred fixed annuities#. Both are
considered low-risk vehicles for
building wealth; yet they differ in
important ways. Which choice is
better? The answer depends on
your goals and priorities. The following information will help you
determine which of these two
products is best suited for your
needs at this time. • Safety of Principal:
Both CDs and deferred fixed
annuities are considered low-risk
investments. CDs are generally issued by banks and, in most cases,
are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for
up to $250,000* per depositor.
Should the bank fail, the FDIC
guarantees CDs up to this
amount.
Deferred fixed annuities are issued by insurance companies and
are not insured by the U.S. government. They are backed by the
financial strength of the issuing in-
surance company, regardless of
the amount. Therefore, before purchasing an annuity, you should
make sure the issuing insurance
company is financially sound. You
can determine financial strength
by requesting the findings of independent rating companies such as
Moody’s, A.M. Best, Standard &
Poor’s and Fitch. These companies
evaluate the financial strength of
insurance companies and publish
ratings that give their assessments
of each company. • Short Term vs. Long:
If you’re saving toward a specific near-term objective – say, a
down payment on a car or home –
a CD may be the way to go. CDs
offer a guaranteed** interest rate
over a maturity period that could
range from a month to a few
years.

CDs and Deferred Fixed Annuities: Which is Right for You?
continued
Deferred fixed annuities, by
contrast, are generally designed
for accumulating or protecting retirement savings. In later years,
they usually offer more flexibility
if you need access to your
money.*** They can even be used
to provide a legacy for your heirs.
• Distribution Options
at Maturity:
When a CD reaches its maturity, you can take the CD’s lump
sum value in cash, renew the CD
for the same or different maturity
period or examine other investment alternatives (such as a deferred fixed annuity).
In a deferred fixed annuity, you
may elect to withdraw your
money in a lump sum*** or you
may want to select a lifetime income option, which provides you
with a flow of income that you
cannot outlive. You could also
elect to let your funds continue to
accumulate until a need arises.
• Taxes:
Federal law treats these two
savings options quite differently. If
taxes are a concern, a deferred
fixed annuity may be the more attractive choice. CD earnings are
taxable the year the interest is
earned, even if you don’t withdraw the money at that time. In
contrast, earnings from deferred
fixed annuities are not taxed until
they’re withdrawn, giving you
some control over when and how
much tax you’ll pay. For specific
tax advice, consult your tax professional or advisor.

Changing the Way We Do Tax Grievances
by Catherine Salerno amicizia
Last month I explained how the
Smithtown Tax Assessor’s encourages residents to grieve their own
taxes simply by submitting a certified appraisal and having an informal review with your assessor,
before tax grievance day. This
week I will explain the benefits of
grieving your own taxes and why
you need a certified appraisal.
The Time Benefits:
If you are thinking of selling
your home this spring and considering having your taxes reduced
as a selling tactic to lure in
prospective buyers in this sluggish
real estate market then consider
this: If you wait until tax grievance
day, and file with a tax
grievance company, chances are
you won’t have an answer from
the Board of Review until the end
of July. If your grievance goes as
far as a small claims action, you
won’t get relief, if at all, until six
months to a year. Yes, the courts
are that backed-logged.
But if you have an informal
meeting with the Smithtown Tax
Assessor, it is my experience that
homeowners have an answer
from the Assessor before tax grievance day. No waiting! You can
brag about your tax reduction on
your listing and you won’t miss
the classic “Real Estate Selling
Season” waiting for a tax reduction.
I urge you to contact The Smithtown Tax Assessor’s Office to learn
the procedures for an informal assessment review before contacting a tax grievance company.
a few examples of saving:
• A homeowner on The Tuck in St.
James saved $3,800 last year.
• A homeowner on Fifty Acre Rd.
South, St. James saved $5,000
last year.
• A homeowner on River Hollow
Lane, Nissequogue saved over
$6,000 last year.
All of these homeowners used
the informal assessment review
process and all had great success
on their own. By the way, these
homeowners only paid for a small
nominal appraisal fee, and not
half of their savings like they
would have been forced to by a
tax grievance company. It does
work. No tricks, no schemes, just
an appraisal.
The Monetary Benefits:

More Power to the Power-of-Attorney
by Joseph a. Bollhofer, Esq.
Almost everyone has at least
heard of a Power-of-Attorney, and
many people have them. A Power-of-Attorney (“POA”) is
simply the written authority to act
on someone else’s behalf. The
concept has been around for a
long time. Ancient writings show
that they were in use by Babylonian and Persian rulers during the
fifth and sixth centuries B.C.
Along with a Last Will and Testament, Health Care Proxy and Living Will (instructions to withdraw
life support), a POA is part of a
basic estate plan. Under POAs signed before September, 2009, the person authorized to act is known as an
“attorney-in-fact.” This person
does not have to be an attorney,
and often is not. The law in New
York and the statutory form POA
were dramatically changed effective September 1, 2009. The person authorized is now known as
an “agent.” The person giving the
POA is known as the “principal.”
The law was fine-tuned effective
September 12, 2010 and, of
course, a new form was created.
If the correct form was signed and
notarized during the applicable
period, it is still valid. This is true
no matter how old the POA is.
However, you may have a problem convincing third parties to
honor a POA that is many years
old because they might not believe it is still valid, and they
might not believe that it was the
correct form in existence when it
was signed. The statutory form has
changed several times in the past
20 years.
POAs are often used for convenience, such as when one person is acting on behalf of another
at a house closing. However, a
comprehensive POA, which provides additional powers beyond
those listed in the statute, can be
worth more than its weight in gold
if the need arises. A good POA is “durable,” that
is, it is still valid if the principal is
incapacitated. In fact, the statutory POA forms in existence since
September 1, 2009 contain a presumption that they are durable
unless they state otherwise. A
comprehensive POA, together
with a Health Care Proxy, can
avoid the need for the appointment of a guardian by the Court
on behalf of an incapacitated person. Guardianship proceedings
are expensive, time consuming
and often emotionally draining. A
comprehensive POA will permit
an agent to act on behalf of a principal to do virtually everything
that the principal could do. The following should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway:
The agent has a legal, ethical and
moral obligation to act in the best
interests of the principal. Although
a POA can be written to authorize
the agent to make gifts of the principal’s property, including gifts to
the agent himself, the agent always has an undivided obligation
to the principal. This is a concept
that, unfortunately, more than a
few agents do not understand, or
refuse to recognize. A glaring
abuse of authority by an agent
who essentially stole his uncle’s
money inspired New York’s legislature to dramatically change the
law and the basic form in 2009. Under the new statute, if the
principal desires to give to his
agent authority to make gifts of
any type in excess of $500. in the
aggregate per year, that authority
must be spelled out in a separate
Gift Rider to the POA. There are
other optional safeguards in the
POA, such as the right to appoint
a third party to monitor the agent’s
actions. All in all, under the new
statute, the POA has become a
considerably more complex document. These complexities are designed to make people think more
carefully about the authority that
they give. The standard statutory form
POA contains a list of categories
under which the agent can act.
The law allows the POA to be
modified in various ways. The
most common modifications provide for the addition of various
powers to suit a particular person’s circumstances. For instance,
in a comprehensive POA, commonly certain powers are added,
such as the authority to create
trusts, both revocable and irrevocable, and to transfer assets into
those trusts. Also, the power to
modify or revoke trusts often becomes important, as does the
power to make applications for
benefits to various agencies, such
as the Social Security Administration, Veterans Administration and
Department of Social Services.
Some important limitations to
remember:
1. The agent under a POA
does not have the authority
to act until he or she signs
the document.
2. The authority automatically
ends when the principal
dies.
3. The principal may revoke
the authority at any time.
4. The agent under a POA has
no authority over property
of the principal held in a
trust. That authority belongs
to the named trustee.
The potential importance of a
POA can not be overstressed, especially the usefulness and flexibility of a POA with expanded
powers. Of course, the trustworthiness of the agent, and his or her
willingness to get proper advice,
are absolutely necessary. I could
list many circumstances under
which POAs are needed, but just
one probably will suffice: If two
persons, even husband and wife,
own real property together, and
one is incapacitated (that is, can
not convince a notary public that
he knows he is signing a deed) the
house can not be sold without a
POA or the appointment by a
court of a guardian. At that point,

Safekeeping of Your Will
by John l. Belford, Jr., Esq.
The safekeeping of your will is
serious business. If a decedent’s
will cannot be found, the law presumes that the decedent destroyed the will. In that case, the
laws of the state would determine
the distribution of the decedent’s
estate and that distribution is often
not what the decedent would
have wanted. For example, if a
decedent dies without a will leaving a spouse and a child, each
would receive one-half of the
decedent’s assets. If a decedent
leaves a spouse and two or more
children, the spouse would receive one-third of the estate, and
the children would receive equal
shares of two-thirds of the decedent’s estate.
The safest place to keep a will
is in Surrogate’s Court in the decedent’s county of residence. Only
the testator can remove it from the
court. If another will is submitted
to the Surrogate’s Court upon
death, the Surrogate’s Court
would check its files and if the
will on file with the Surrogate's
Court is the most recent will, and
if so, it would be validated by the
Court.
The second safest place to
maintain a will is a safe deposit
box in a bank. Upon receiving notice of the death of the holder of
the safe deposit box, the bank will
deliver the will directly to the Surrogate’s Court. That avoids any
loss of the will whether by mistake
or on purpose.
In the past, lawyers who prepared wills would often hold the
wills in a “will safe” in his or her
office. The downside to that is that
upon the lawyer’s retirement or
death, the lawyer or his or her es-
tate may not be able to locate the
client or the client’s beneficiaries
may not be able to locate the
lawyer who is holding the will. If
the will is not found, the estate
would be distributed as described
above.
The foregoing has two lessons.
Firstly, everybody should have a
will and, secondly, wills should
be deposited with the Surrogate’s
Court or maintained in a safe deposit box.

Be Alert to the Dangers of Drowsy Driving
by Jim Winter
Driving while drowsy is an unnecessary risk you shouldn’t take.
Sleep deprivation has become
widespread in North America as
people try to squeeze more and
more activities into each day. One
consequence is, more vehicle
crashes are attributed partly or
wholly to sleepiness.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA)
says about 1 million crashes a
year are thought to occur because
of driver inattention or lapses –
and fatigue makes such inattention more likely.
In a survey by the National
Sleep Foundation, 57% of those
interviewed said they had driven
while drowsy and 23% admitted
to having fallen asleep behind the
wheel.
NHTSA reports that sleep-induced crashes typically involve a
driver who is alone and driving
late at night or in mid-afternoon
on a high-speed road (so the crash
is more likely to be serious). Most
of the time, it’s a single-car crash
because the vehicle leaves the
roadway.
Leave the driving to those who
are wide awake! In other words,
many of us may be susceptible to
driving while sleepy, but there are
some things we can do to avoid
doing so. The National Sleep
Foundation and other experts suggest:
straight ahead at all times;
scan the road and nearby
areas.
run in place, jump up and
down.
• Avoid alcohol and medications that may make you
sleepy; read the label on the
container or ask your physician.
• Stop for a rest every 100 miles
or two hours. • If you need one, take a short
nap. Or get some exercise – t

WHERE DOES IT HURT?
Neck Pain
by dr. marc Taczanowski,
C.C.S.P., C.S.C.S., a.r.T.c.
This monthly educational column,
“WHErE doES IT HurT?” will focus
on different areas of the body, the
symptoms associated with that
area, the potential causes and
your choices for treatment. Since
my speciality is sports medicine,
the angle from which I will be approaching the areas of complaint
will be from a sports medicine,
soft tissue perspective.
The second installment of this
series finds us at the neck. Neck
pain can be multi-facetted and
complex, easily turning this article
into a novel. Only certain aspects
will be highlighted and discussed.
Neck pain can loosely be categorized into two types. Pain that
starts and remains in the neck
proper and pain that stems from
the neck but radiates elsewhere.
This month’s article focuses solely
on the former. In the upcoming article we will begin to explore the
potential referral pain patterns for
the neck.
When I first started practicing I
would try to diagnose the specific
muscle that was causing the
symptoms and focus my treatments on that one muscle. I
quickly realized that my treatments were not as successful as I
had hoped. It turns out that rarely,
if ever, do muscles work alone. It
is more like a concert of muscles
working in synchronous fashion.
With that being said, let’s get
down to business.
Nine times out of 10, patients
present in our office complaining
of symptoms which stem from a
musculoskeletal origin. By definition this is “anything relating to
the musculature (soft tissue) or
skeleton.” Soft tissue can also be
defined as ligament, tendon, fascia, or nerve.
More than 50% of all injuries
are to the musculoskeletal system.
Sprains, dislocations, and fractures account for nearly 65% of
all musculoskeletal injuries,
which can frequently lead to posttraumatic osteoarthritis.
Probably the most common
type of neck issue we see is the
patient that wakes up with a stiff
neck because they “must have
slept wrong.” I’m not sure what
the rules are concerning improper
sleeping but I am sure that neck
pain does not result from breaking
them. The spine is a complex
creature, and as previously stated,
there are few muscles that work
alone. There are approximately
eight (8) muscles that work as the
deep stabilizing structures of the
spinal column. They include the
multifidi (2), the intertransversarii
(2), rotatores (2) and the interspinalis (2). Traveling superficially
from this deepest layer, you hit the
next layer of muscles called the
erector spinae. The spinalis,
longissimus and iliocostalis muscles form the erector spinae. All of
these muscles work together to
help create spinal stability. There
will be a quiz.
Now that you have been introduced to the deep stabilizing
musculature, let’s discuss the
prime movers. Your prime movers
are your “sexy” muscles or the
muscles that you see. These are
the ones you usually work when
you are at the gym. Prime movers
do exactly what their name implies: they move the body. The
prime movers of the neck include
the Trapezius and the SCM (Sternocleidomastoid). The relationship
between the stabilizing musculature and the prime movers is extremely important. When there is
miscommunication between
them, injuries result. They can
occur in the following manner:
• when a prime mover has to act
as a stabilizer.
• when a stabilizer has to act as a
prime mover.
• when a prime mover acts before
the stabilizer engages.
Injuries also occur when the
load on a muscle exceeds its capacity. Here is a concept that permeates throughout many of the
issues we see in the body and was
discussed in our previous article.
A very good example of a load vs.
capacity injury is one that begins
with poor posture. Someone who sits at a computer for 8-hours-a day is likely to
wind up with shortened muscles
in the front of their neck. In order
to keep the head situated neutrally, the muscles in the back of
the head, neck, upper back and
mid-back are perpetually engaged
in an attempt to create balance or
neutrality. This “load” on the posterior neck muscles will eventually exceed their capacity leading
to all sorts of pain and dysfunction.
Unfortunately, most of us are
not aware of the battle that takes
place between the muscles of the
front and back of the body until
the damage is done. Preventative
measures can be taken, although

Drs. Marc and Hope Can Help With Your Golf Swing
True Sport Care’s Dr. Hope
Miller and Dr. Marc Taczanowski
of St. James recently visited New
Orleans, LA, to obtain their initial
certification as Golf Fitness Instructors by the Titleist Performance Institute.
The Titleist Performance Institute leads the world in research
and data on golf fitness, health
and swing biomechanics and TPI’s
certified members are the first to
receive the newest information.
The TPI certification shows that
the professional has reached a
level of golf fitness expertise that
surpasses, and continues to surpass, the competition.
As medical professionals,
through slow motion video swing
analysis, Dr. Hope Miller and Dr.
Marc Taczanowski will be able to
identify your swing faults, uncover
the physical limitations producing
your swing
faults, treat
the physical
limitations
with a rehabilitation
strategy, and
improve your
consistency
and performance. Working as a team
with golf professionals and
personal
trainers, your
greater golf potential can reveal itself.
“We don’t believe there is one
way to swing a club; we believe
there are an infinite number of
ways to swing a club. But we do
believe that there is one efficient
way for each individual to swing
and it is based on what they can
physically do,” states Drs. Hope
and Marc.

Neck Pain
rarely adhered to. Most people
will respond to pain and attempt
to alleviate it as quickly as possible. To be discussed is a proactive
approach that does not necessarily require the attention of a medical professional.
Attempt to gently stretch the
area. A frequently asked question
is when to stretch. The answer is
always the same: warm it up –
stretch it out – ice it down. Increasing blood flow to an area
prior to stretching is always beneficial and can be achieved in various ways, ie; light cardio just to
the point of perspiration, a hot
shower, etc. The utilization of ice
afterwards will aid in the reduction of inflammation and discomfort. Another common question
regarding stretching refers to the
presence of pain during the activity: Is it ok? The answer is relatively straightforward: If the
discomfort abates with a 30-second stretch, continue the cycle of
progression. If not, stop. The inter-
vention of a medical professional
may be useful at this point.
Certain types of soft tissue techniques are extremely effective for
neck pain that stems from a musculoskeletal origin. Due to my affiliation with the Active Release
Technique and the Graston Technique, the following information
is slightly biased, although peppered with factual statistics accrued via direct (personal) and
indirect (patient) experience. 4050% relief of symptoms immediately following the first treatment
and complete resolution of the
problem in as few as 2-3 treatments is not an uncommon finding following these aggressive soft
tissue techniques. Due to their
high degree of effectiveness and
specificity, we are very comfortable explaining to patients that if
there is not a marked improvement within 2-3 treatments, the
techniques are not going to be effective (to our satisfaction). At this
point the patient would be referred out for further diagnostic
testing or consultation with the
appropriate medical professional.
Next month there will be a
break down of symptoms and
more specificity in an effort to
limit (my) ramblings on more general topics. I promise!
as always, these statements are
not meant to diagnose or treat any
particular symptom or condition
so it is in your best interest to seek
out the advice of a qualified medical professional to determine the
best course of action.

Because Accidents Happen
by dr. linda m. Bocchichio
If you have been involved in a
car accident, no matter how severe it was, you know the fear that
immediately follows. You often
feel completely out of control of
the situation. But being aware of
what can possibly happen and
knowing what to do at the scene
of the accident can alleviate some
of the fear and provide you with a
sense of control that will allow a
clear head and could save time,
money and possible medical expenses.
In an accident in which you are
moving at speeds below 10mph,
injuries are likely to be the result
of unexpected, rapid movement
of the body at
the moment of
impact. These
injuries can include muscle
strain and
bruises from
the seat belt.
Symptoms
from these injuries, like
pain and stiffness, might not
appear for 12
to 36 hours

after the accident.
Accidents that occur at speeds
greater than 10mph involve more
rapid body movement and possible impact with objects inside the
car, such as the steering wheel,
windshield or dashboard. Common injuries in these situations include shoulder, head or knee
hematomas (bruises), neck sprain,
wrist fractures, concussion and
contusions. People with these injuries usually know where and
how badly they are hurt right
away, but in some instances,
shock masks the symptoms.
Perhaps the most common and
most infamous automobile injury
is whiplash – a cervical acceleration/ deceleration injury in which
the head is whipped backward
from an inexpected force from behind, the head then recoils and

continued
jerks forward, back again, and finally stops at its normal position.
Whiplash can also occur when
you are hit from the front or the
side, in which case the head jerks
forward (or to the side). In all of
these instances, the injury is incurred when the neck is forced to
exceed its normal range of motion
and muscles, tendons, ligaments
and joints stretch beyond their
limits, sometimes to the point of
tearing.
N O T E S
Symptoms of whiplash can include restricted range of motion,
neck tenderness, muscle stiffness,
trouble swallowing, loss of voice,
jaw problems, nausea, vomiting,
headache, dizziness, short-term
memory loss, insomnia, visual disturbances like blurred vision or
flashing lights and of course, pain.
There are very important reasons to seek chiropractic care immediately after an accident. First
and foremost, you have to make
sure you are not seriously injured.
Also, some minor injuries can become chronic if not taken care of
properly. Timely attention to your
traumatized body will insure that
you heal properly.

My Irish Friend
Celtic Spring
by John Taratunio, Fairfield Condos
by David F. McKell
This friend of mine is Irish
He’s as happy as can be
He always has a smile on his face
and a cheerful hello for me
The sun has been shining lately,
a bit more every day.
It’s a very welcome happening,
as we proceed along the way.
He has that certain light in his eye
and there’s always a song on his lips
He’s really such a happy guy
and he’s full of those Irish quips
I’m talking about our journey
From winter to blooming spring,
and the happy thoughts and promises
Which every year does bring.
He’ll give you the coat off his back he will
He’s always ready to tell you a joke
Should you mention a bit of Ireland and
He’ll tell you about his childhood and his folk
yes, this friend of mine is Irish
and I’m proud that this be known
Because I couldn’t be any luckier
Than, if I’d kissed the Blarney Stone.
To start with, we’ve got “Paddy's day”,
Which is always a welcome sight!
With all the coleens and lads on parade,
Playing music and looking real bright.
Penelope
by Faith Godfrey, 10 years old
my bulldog Penelope
Has many wrinkles
and when she “smiles”
Her brown eyes twinkle
and when she snuggles up to me,
oh! I would never let her get stung by a bee!
She runs, she jumps, she tugs, she plays
after that she sleeps for days
my favorite thing about Penelope
Is that I love her
and she loves me.

Spring is Here
you inadvertently dig up your
spring-flowering bulbs? While the
bulbs are in bloom this spring
mark them so you know what
bulbs are where. The children can
help you with this project. Collect
some nice, smooth stones at the
beach. They can paint each stone
with a specific color assigned to
each type of flower. For instance,
red is tulip, yellow is daffodil, etc.
or you could use a letter to identify each flower or just place the
stones, plain, at the base of each
plant and leave them undisturbed
throughout the season.
Why not add a butterfly garden
next to your patio this year?
Choose a spot that will get at least
six hours of direct sunlight. Flowers with short tubes are best as are
flat-topped or small clustered
flowers. Also flowers with long,
flat petals like daisies. Some flowers to include are: aster, blackeyed Susan, blazing star, canna,
coreopsis, garden phlox, lantana,
mallow, purple coneflower, shasta
daisy. Add a shallow bird bath
too, the birds and butterflies will
appreciate it.
As the prices of everything are
going up and up money is tight for
many people so you may just
want to plant a moneyplant, Lunaria annua. The pretty purplishpink flowers will give way to
many pretty silver coins, which
you can collect.... just kidding, it’s
just a plant. April Fools!

Tax Grievances
based on an equalization rate
and the assessed value of your
property. If you can prove your
market value is below the Assessor’s estimate of market value,
then you will be entitled to a tax
reduction. A certified appraisal
will determine the market value
on your property. The market
value of your property is generally
defined as what your property
would sell for under normal conditions.
The most common way to determine the market value of a residential property is to use the sales
comparison approach. This is the
primary method used by professional appraisers to determine the
market value of residential properties.
An experienced tax grievance
appraiser should be able to determine the Tax Assessor’s current estimate of market value on your
property and, therefore, if you
would benefit from having an appraisal performed.
It is important to hire an appraiser who is certified and specializes in valuations in your
market area and who is experienced in tax grievances.

Archer S. Drew Jr.
Archer S. Drew, Jr., a long
time resident of Smithtown,
NY, passed away Saturday,
January 15, 2011 at the age
of 81. Archer (Archie) grew
up in St. Albans, Queens,
and moved to South Ozone
Park when he married. He
and his wife, Thelma
(Cooper) of Corona, Queens,
subsequently lived in Springfield Gardens for several
years. He and his family
moved to Smithtown, NY in
Archer S. Drew, Jr.
the early 60’s.
Archer was an (Army) Air Force Veteran and experienced the trauma of the desegregation of the armed
forces while in service. He later worked for the US
Government and retired from the Federal Government, Department of Defense, with 30 years of service, the recipient of several meritorious awards.
He was considered by some to be the bionic man
having had both hips replaced as well as both knees
replaced and a back disc fused. Still he managed to
umpire (USSSA), a number of years, for Smithtown’s
many softball leagues. Well regarded in this capacity,
Archer was known as a knowledgeable and fair umpire – he would throw anyone out of the game, if so
warranted, including spectators. As a sports lover, he was a participant as well as an
observer and instructor. Whether it was racquetball or
volley ball, he was a champion. While president of
the Smithtown Majors bowling league, he taught
youth bowling sessions for the Town Recreation Department and participated in the parent/child leagues
with each of his children. He played basketball and
softball for St. Andrews Lutheran Church in the town
adult leagues and then coached and managed teams
in both sports for the church.
An active member of St. Andrews Lutheran Church,
Archer served on the altar and was also a head usher
and a counter as well as president of the church’s
bowling league and the Couples Club. He was a long
time member of the Smithtown Senior’s Golf Association, the one sport that he could not claim as a “champion” although he did have a hole-in-one and
managed to win a number of tournaments with great
prizes!
Archer was a delight to know and beloved by many.
Endearingly called “crabby” by his oldest daughter,
Joanne, the term caught on and others affectionately
termed him the “old crab” or “grouchy” as some lovingly called him. His activities included membership
in NAACP, NARFE (National Association of Federal
Employees), OIC (Opportunities Industrialization
Commission) and a volunteer with SCMLK (Suffolk
County Martin Luther King Commission).
Pre-deceased by two daughters, baby Karin Elizabeth and Joanne Michelle (Johnson), Archer is
mourned by his wife of close to 60 years, Thelma;
sons, Richard Michael (Maria Grace), Kenneth Edward
(Mary Ann); daughters, Sheryln Liane (Christopher
Allen) McKittrick and Kimberly Terese (Charles Timothy) Council.
In addition to his children, he also leaves his loving
grandchildren, Felicia (William Patterson), Ariana (Ed
Mowton), Tabitha Pearl (Johnson), Brittany Ann and
Drew Archer (McKittrick), Erick Jamel and Jade Elizabeth Michelle (Council); great grandchildren, Quadarius and Santina (Patterson) and a host of beloved
in-laws, many family and numerous friends. A Funeral Mass was celebrated at St. Andrew’s
Lutheran Church in Smithtown, NY. Interment followed at Calverton National Cemetery.
Arrangements were entrusted to the professional
care of The Branch Funeral Home and Vigliante family
of Smithtown, NY.
