HOURS: 

Wed.-Fri. - 10 a.m.-9 p.m. 

Sat. - 10 a.m.-5 p.m. 

by Debra Vessa-Cleary 

Put your best foot forward at 

TNT Nails in St. James and it 

will be professionally pampered, 

magnificently massaged and 

maybe – just maybe – lusciously 

scented with the aroma of 

chocolate. From French manicures 

to Chocolate Fantasy pedicures 

and award-winning nail 

art, your best foot can become 

your prettiest foot as TNT Nail 

technicians provide specialty 

pedicures and manicures in a 

relaxing, social and hygienic 

environment. 

Located across from King 

Kullen, TNT Nails in St. James 

has been in operation since 

October when it was relocated 

from the SmithHaven Mall, 

where it had been servicing 

patrons for eight years. The waiting 

room, styled for comfort and 

ambiance, houses cozy highbacked 

velvet arm chairs and 

scented candles: 

“I think of this 

location as a nail 

lounge,” says owner 

Tracy Balaker who 

has been a nail technician 

for 20 years. 

“We provide a relaxing 

environment combined 

with professional, 

personalized service. 

Clients come 

here not only for our 

special nail services, 

but also to socialize 

with other clients and 

get away from the 

stress of everyday life 

– and many of them 

enjoy our semi-private 

room for pedicures.” 

According to Tracy, 

all TNT Nail technicians 

are licensed 

and hygiene is of the 

utmost concern: 

“We constantly 

keep up on the latest 

OUR TOWN • JULY 2006 

in education regarding health 

care as well as nail trends. We 

use only MMA-free products for 

acrylic nail enhancements and 

only the highest quality polishes. 

Most importantly, our pedicure 

basin jets are removable and 

sanitized in between each 

client.” 

With specialty pedicure and 

manicure treatments bearing 

names like Chocolate Fantasy 

and Warm & Cozy, TNT is not 

your traditional nail salon. Nail 

art services also include unique 

Hand Artistry, Acrylic 3-D 

Designs and Airbrush Designs, 

some of which have won awards 

in the industry. TNT Nails also 

offers conventional nail enhancements 

and waxing as well as 

paraffin treatments and aromatherapy 

pedicures. 

The salon is also available for 

children’s parties, including 

teens, as well as private bridal 

party servicing. Hours are 

Wednesday through Friday 10 

a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays 

from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with 

special openings by request. 

Appointments are recommended 

but not required, and gift certificates 

are available.

ROTARY PRESIDENT’S LOSS 

IS ROTARY'S GAIN... 

Outgoing Smithtown Rotary President 

and St. James resident Scott Posner finished 

off his year in office by holding a 

weight-loss for charity contest. Scott had 

6 weeks to lose weight and was sponsored 

by the pound. Scott’s mother, 

Fran Posner, from Weight Watchers of 

Suffolk, held the official weigh-in and 

weigh-out. The result was a loss of 19 

pounds and a gain of over $2,200 for 

the Rotary’s charitable activities. Scott 

credits his exercise program, Weight 

Watchers (and his mother's guidance) 

and the threat of having to pay 10 times 

the pledged amount back if he gained 

weight! Pictured during the weigh-out 

with Scott is Fran Posner and family 

members Debby, Rebecca and Julianna. 

Scott Posner heads the Edward Jones 

Investment office located in the Old 

School House in St. James.

St. James Post Office 

Earns USPS 5 Star 

Customer Service Award 

You’ve heard of five-star hotels and five-star resorts – get 

ready for a five-star Post Office. The St. James Post office 

recently earned a five-star rating as part of the Postal 

Service’s new 5 Star Customer Service Program. Ratings 

are based on surveys by The Gallup Organization. 

“We’ve always provided excellent service,” said 

Postmaster Victoria Wilson. “Now we’ve got the stars to 

back it up.” 

The Gallup Organization surveys USPS customers, asking 

them to rate local Post Offices on efficiency, accuracy 

of delivery, consistency of delivery and wait-time-in-line. 

St. James Post Office received a significant increase in 

“Excellent” ratings, earning the 5 Star Customer Service 

Award. 

Customers entering the St. James Post Office will know 

it too. Each office earning 5 Star status receives a sign for 

its door and all employees receive 5 Star lapel pins in 

recognition of the rating. 

“We’re really honored to receive this rating,” said 

Postmaster Wilson. “It shows that our customers value the 

excellent service the employees in this office provide.”

So you’re thinking of adding a 

new companion to your home, 

but you’re not quite sure where to 

begin. Why not visit Little 

Shelter, a no-kill animal shelter 

located in Huntington? You will 

find many “scrumptious” dogs 

and cats waiting for special 

homes just like yours. Meet dogs 

like Cobbler, a sweet little 

Poodle, Stromboli, a snuggly Pit 

Bull mix and cats like Peanut 

Butter, a pretty calico and 

Brandy, an adorable tabby. Little 

Shelter has dogs and cats to suit 

every taste. 

If you can’t adopt, please consider 

making a donation to help 

save the lives of homeless dogs 

and cats. Donations can be made 

via Little Shelter’s website at 

www.littleshelter.com, by calling

the 39-cent Baseball Sluggers 

commemorative postage stamps 

and 24-cent Baseball Sluggers

newly released stamps are on sale 

now at the St. James Post Office. 

These four men were powerful

hitters who wowed fans with 

awesome and often record-breaking 

home runs. They were also 

versatile players who helped lead 

their teams to victory and set 

impressive standards for subsequent 

generations. 

Super Heroes 

The Postal Service will issue 

39-cent DC Comics Super Heroes 

commemorative stamps in 20 

designs. The stamps will go on 

sale July 21, 2006 at the St. James

With these colorful stamps, the 

U.S. Postal Service honors several 

stars from the world of DC 

Comics. Their fantastic adventures 

provide an escape from the 

everyday while simultaneously 

encouraging readers to feel that 

individuals can make a difference. 

Purple Heart 

The Purple Heart definitive 

stamp was first issued on May 30, 

2003, at the First-Class rate of 37 

cents, to honor the sacrifices of 

the men and women who serve 

in the U.S. military. At a time 

when military service members 

continue to serve in Afghanistan 

and Iraq, it is appropriate that the 

Purple Heart stamp be reissued at 

the new First-Class 39-cent rate.

stamp is being reissued as the 

Department of Veterans Affairs – 

the VA – celebrates its 75th 

anniversary.

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.

These are the dog days of summer. 

The long, lazy, hot and sultry 

days of August. It is time to 

enjoy a cold lemonade in the 

shade, a fresh, ripe tomato right 

in the garden, and a jar full of 

fireflies in the dark of the night. 

There are, however, still 

chores to be done around the 

yard. 

Keep weeding, pull weeds 

before they set seeds. 

While you’re out deadheading 

the flowers, pinch the flower 

spikes from your coleus to keep 

the plant bushy. You can also 

take cuttings of these plants to put 

up for houseplants. 

Towards the end of the month, 

you can put up chives, basil and 

rosemary too, for use inside this 

winter. 

Plant lettuce and beets for fall. 

Put in more bush beans as you 

pull out spent plants. 

Give roses one last feeding. 

Harvest onions and potatoes 

after the tops have turned yellow 

and died down.

NATURALLY SPEAKING: 

Enjoy the Outdoors This Month 

ab 

Consider planting a cover crop 

as the produce is harvested and 

garden beds are cleared out. 

Moving a plant in the heat of 

August is not a great idea, but 

sometimes it is a necessary one. 

Here are a few suggestions to 

make it easier on your plant. 

Water the plant thoroughly the 

day before. It shouldn’t be all 

muddy, but the plant should be 

well hydrated. 

Start your moving project in 

early morning or late in the day 

when it is cooler. Dig the hole 

that the plant will go into. You 

want the roots to be exposed to 

the sun and heat as little as possible. 

Make sure to dig wide enough 

around the plant. You can gauge 

this by the plant’s drip line – the 

furthest point the foliage reaches 

out around the plant.

The root ball will stay intact 

better if you put the plant onto a 

tarp, plastic bag or into a wheelbarrow 

to move it. Get it into its 

new home as soon as you can. 

When you cover it with soil, 

make sure the crown of the plant 

is at the same level as it was in its 

prior location. Water well and 

check it often over the next week. 

If the plant looks stressed, use a 

screen or umbrella to shade it. 

Be consistent with your watering. 

Container plantings dry out 

very quickly in the heat of this 

month. 

Additionally, all your hard 

work in the vegetable garden can 

be foiled by a dry August. Use a 

rain gauge or just a recycled tuna 

can to see how much water the 

garden is getting. 

If you planted zucchini, then 

by this time you probably have 

plenty. Shred up one- or two-cup 

portions and freeze. You can use 

these over the winter in soup, 

stews and nut breads.

by Natalie Weinstein, 

Allied ASID 

Oh, the relaxing days of summer… 

So, who’s relaxing? 

Certainly not those getting ready 

for a well needed vacation or 

just coming back. We know it’s 

not anyone expecting company 

or surprise visitors. I often begin 

one of my seminars by asking: 

What if the phone rings and a 

dear pal from your far distant 

past is on the other end, an hour 

away between planes, and just 

dying “to stop by for a quick 

visit”? What would you do and 

is your home “visitor ready” at 

all times? Most of us would 

chuckle at that one. Here are 

some of the answers I’ve gotten 

over the years about places people 

would “hide” their stuff from 

soon to arrive unexpected company. 

“I’d dump it in the front hall 

closet, if I knew it was too hot to 

wear a coat.” 

“I’d throw it down the basement 

steps.” 

“I’d stick it in the bath tub.” 

“Under the bed” 

“In the oven” 

In the oven??? Clearly – 

they’re not planning on serving 

dinner to their guests. 

But what do you do to relieve 

the stress of drop in visitors, 

summer or winter? Obviously, if 

you were “mostly clutter free,” it 

DESIGN IDEAS: 

When Unexpected Guests Are Coming 

wouldn’t be too difficult to do a 

quick once over. Oh – there’s 

that mostly clutter free. More of 

us are mastering that skill with 

understanding of why it’s so 

important – even if you’re not 

into Feng Shui (that famous 

Chinese dish that should be on 

everyone’s menu). Common 

sense tells us it’s just plain better, 

healthier and easier to live 

in an organized, uncluttered, 

dust free environment. Though it 

might be hard work to get it that 

way, the end result is worth it. 

However, even if your have your 

house under control, you still 

have to live in it. But day to day 

living “stuff” is different. It’s the 

kind you can get a handle on in 

an hour before unexpected company 

knocks on your door. 

• So – there’s damp towels in 

the bathroom and yesterday’s 

underwear and socks, as well 

as the toothpaste, make-up 

and brush on the counter. It 

takes less than two minutes to 

put the dirty clothes (including 

the hamper stuff) into the 

washer and store your personal 

things in their designated 

places. 

• Another 3 minutes to make the 

bed and hang up yesterday’s 

outfit or put it in the trunk of 

your car to go to the cleaners. 

The trunk! What a great place 

for clutterers to hide their stuff! 

Just back the car halfway into 

the garage… No – No! Just 

kidding. 

• Ten minutes to vacuum or dry 

mop. 

• Five minutes to clean off 

kitchen counter surfaces. 

• Five minutes to top dust in 

main areas. 

• Five minutes to check the 

powder room for fresh towels, 

bathroom spray, and to clean 

the sink and bowl. 

• Five minutes to empty all 

waste baskets and garbage 

pails and take them to an outside 

pail. 

• Five more minutes to put 

something in the oven, like 

frozen cookies, not whatever 

you dumped from the counter, 

and put up a pot of coffee. 

(Nothing smells better when 

guests arrive). 

• Then a quick shower. Don’t 

forget to stick the towels in the 

washer, take a deep breath 

and get ready to open the 

door with a smile and enjoy 

your company.

So you know they’re comingit’s 

been planned for months and 

you’re still not ready for the 

arrival of your favorite cousins. 

The countdown clock is ticking 

and in a couple of weeks they’ll 

be knocking at your door. It’s 

not hopeless, yet, so here are a 

few things you can do and some 

you can’t. Don’t expect a new 

kitchen, bathroom or custom 

anything, and if you need store 

bought furniture, it better be 

floor samples or don’t count on 

it arriving on time. 

Be realistic about the time you 

have to make things happen, 

both in your home in general, as 

well as in the guest quarters. 

Then plan for some glitches in 

your schedule so you don’t get 

caught short. 

Here are some general things 

you can do in a week or two if 

you’re ambitious: 

• Give a room or rooms a different 

look by purchasing an area 

rug (which can be put over 

broadloom as well as hard surface 

floors). Various sizes can 

create different effects, from 

focal points under seating 

areas, to major coverage 

which can conceal a sad old 

floor or carpeting. 

• Try re-arranging the furniture. 

Throw out what’s worn, torn 

or broken and what can’t be 

replaced at the present, cover 

with ready-made throws or 

slipcovers. 

• A fresh coat of paint does 

wonders for a room. Get help 

if you can’t do it yourself, or 

barter it. Select a new color 

for the walls – preferably one 

from the area rug. 

• Take a whirl around your local 

“bargain” shops and seek out 

new pillows, throws, pottery, 

accessories, or art work. 

• Find a “bed in a bag” for a 

quick bedroom re-do, or a 

DESIGN IDEAS: 

When Expected Guests Are Coming 

lovely summer quilt, and 

ready-made draperies. It’s the 

easiest and quickest way to 

spruce up your bedroom and 

minimize your old furniture. 

Often there are co-coordinating 

bathroom accessories, as 

well. 

• Your kitchen will be the hub of 

your family gatherings. Make 

sure your refrigerator is 

cleaned out, your pantry is 

stocked and organized, your 

“junk drawer” is contained 

and you have enough dishes, 

mugs, etc. for everyone. 

Maybe it’s time to throw out 

that old chipped set of dishes 

or pots and treat yourself to a 

new one. While you’re at it, 

how about some new place 

mats for the kitchen table? 

Tips for the Guest Room 

and Bath: 

• How about an inviting coverlet 

or some new pillows and 

sheet sets? 

• Make sure the bedside table 

has a working lamp. 

• Add some fresh flowers, a few 

books, perhaps a small T.V. 

• Make sure you’ve emptied the 

closet or provided another 

place for their clothes. 

• If it’s a multifunctional space, 

put your personal things away. 

• Stock in a supply of clean 

towels and perhaps some 

purse size personal supplies 

for the bathroom. 

• Does your shower curtain 

need washing or replacing? Try 

to eliminate the plastic kind 

since it’s difficult to clean the 

bacterial build up and opt for 

one that can be thrown in the 

washer and dryer. 


If you’re the guest – make sure 

you’re invited back: 

• Clean up your own mess and 

assist in general household 

chores. 

• Pick up the tab occasionally 

on food shopping expenditures. 

• Keep the noise level down on 

your T.V. and kids. 

• Know when it’s time to go to 

bed. 

• Be pleasant, thoughtful and 

appreciative. 

• Send a gift or a thank-you note 

after your visit. 

• Return the invitation. 

To make entertaining less 

stressful, have on hand at all 

times: fresh fruit, nuts, cheese, 

wine and crackers, and treat 

yourself to the purchase of fresh 

flowers or weekly pick some 

from your own garden.

Have you thought about decorating 

or redecorating your home 

in today’s new colors and styles? 

Or do you want to keep your current 

decorating scheme but 

update your artwork and accessories? 

When it comes to art, do 

you know how to find something 

that is the perfect fit to your new 

decor? 

There are several ways to complement 

your décor with artwork. 

If there is a lot of wood furniture 

in one of your rooms, you can 

choose to frame the art in a 

matching frame. If you have a 

contemporary look, perhaps 

painted or metal frames can provide 

you with a perfect match. 

Add a touch of interest and color 

to the frame design. Mats are 

available in a variety of colors 

and textures and are an excellent 

way to tie in the color of a piece 

Decorating With Art 

of art with your décor. 

Even though a piece of art 

doesn’t have the same colors as 

your decor, creative framing can 

help it blend in with most any 

style. Buy art that you will enjoy. 

With custom framing, you can 

customize your art so it complements 

your home décor and your 

taste. 

Tips for Picture Framing 

1. The frames, mats, glass and 

methods used to support the art 

will vary for each piece to be 

framed. A professional picture 

framer’s job is to provide a good 

presentation for your piece while 

protecting the artwork as much as 

possible. Tell the framer the 

importance of the piece. Is it a 

fun poster for a kid’s room or the 

last portrait of your great grandmother? 

2. Choose the appropriate 

frame. Frames are available in 

thousands of sizes, colors and finishes. 

Many are designed for a 

specific use. There are special 

mouldings for mirrors, shadow 

box frames and art on canvas. 

Historical period/antique designs 

are also available.

3. Mats surrounding artwork 

help to best present the art for 

viewing, but they are also used to 

provide protection against the 

elements and for proper air circulation. 

There are several types of 

matboard, depending on the level 

of quality required for the piece. 

Be sure to talk to your framer 

about pure conservation, acidfree 

materials when matting your 

artwork. 

4. There is a wide variety of 

glazing available in custom frame 

shops today. With today’s digital 

technology, it is critical to protect 

your reproduction from the harmful 

effects of sunlight and other 

environmental elements. Glazing 

can be made of glass or acrylic 

and can offer ultraviolet protection, 

extreme clarity and glare 

reduction. Be sure to use 

Plexiglas on art that will hang in 

children’s rooms or play areas. It 

doesn’t shatter like glass and the 

edges of broken pieces are not as 

sharp. 

5. The size of the art, mats and 

moulding is critical to a well balanced 

design. Make use of the 

examples and demonstrated 

designs that the frame shop or 

gallery has on display. 

6. If the piece will hang on a 

patterned or heavily textured 

wall, a wide mat is recommended 

for comfortable viewing of the 

art. 

7. Is the color critical? Bring in 

swatches of paint or fabrics from 

the room where the piece will 

hang. It is always useful to the 

custom framer when designing 

your framing. 

8. Reframe pictures and reuse 

frames: Quite often a new mat 

color is all you need to coordinate 

your old artwork with your 

new decor. Re-matting and 

reframing can bring new life to 

your existing art. 

9. Ask questions at the frame 

shop – the more you know, the 

better you can help make decisions 

about framing your art and 

objects. 

10. Most of all... enjoy and 

appreciate the little things. 

Capture a sunset, treasure a 

child’s creation, preserve family 

moments. Art is all around us.

y Rita Clous 

It's relatively easy to establish 

the market value of a property 

located in a neighborhood where 

the houses are created in the mirror 

image of one another. Figuring 

out the valuation of an unusual 

property is another story. 

Appraisers determine market 

value by comparing the property 

in question with three similar 

properties in the neighborhood 

that have sold and closed within 

the last six months. 

In recent years, there has been 

plenty of sales activity, so finding 

comparable sales in most neighborhoods 

hasn’t been a problem. 

However, in certain markets finding 

comparables can be challenging. 

Even more taxing is finding 

comparables for a truly unique 

property. 

Recently, a one-of-a-kind listing 

came on the market in a desirable 

neighborhood. What made this 

property unique was its impressive 

architecture and size. It was a 

4,500-square-foot home in a 

neighborhood where a 2,500- 

square-foot house is considered 

big. The lot size was big and the 

yard included a swimming pool – 

also uncommon for the neighborhood. 

The special nature of this listing 

attracted a lot of attention. The 

trick for both realtors and buyers 

– 58 – 


REALTY WISE: 

Establishing Value on Unique Properties 

What if My House Is One of A Kind? 

was figuring out what it was 

worth. There was not a single 

house in the neighborhood that 

could be called comparable to 

this one. 

Appraisers who are faced with 

this predicament look to other 

neighborhoods that could be considered 

somewhat comparable in 

order to help determine the market 

value. In the above example, 

expanding the geographic boundary 

to a neighboring area yielded 

valuable insights into the probable 

market price for the property. 

Contracts for Sale usually include 

an appraisal contingency as a condition 

of the purchase, primarily 

for financing purposes. An 

appraiser hired by the buyer or the 

bank will use the same approach. 

Last year, a unique property 

was sold in the area where most 

homes are on postage stamp lots. 

This special property had one 

level acre of land with a tennis 

court and a recently restored 

Craftsman style home built in the 

1920's. There was literally nothing 

like it in the neighborhood. 

This time, the buyer needed a 

mortgage to finance the purchase. 

The appraiser for the buyer’s 

lender appropriately considered 

the property an estate. He looked 

for comparable sales in a nearby 

pricier sectors of our community 

with many estate properties. 

Appraisers make adjustments to 

account for the value-added benefits 

that one property might have 

over another to derive a justifiable 

market value for the subject property. 

Even if a listing isn’t unique, 

there are times when there’s little 

comparable sales data, especially 

when sales activity slows down. 

Although this hasn’t been a big 

concern during the last few years 

of robust home sale activity, it has 

been a problem in the past. 

If this is the case, appraisers 

look for similar listings that sold 

longer ago than the generally 

accepted six-month cut off date. 

Valuation adjustments are made 

for market changes during the 

intervening period. 

Realtors use the same resources 

for their data, the Multiple Listing 

System as appraisers do. Whether 

you are buying or selling, your 

Realtor has the knowledge to provide 

you with historical facts 

about the market where the subject 

property is located as well as 

indications about current conditions, 

so give your real estate professional 

a call.

MONEY MATTERS: 

Unsettling Times Still Offer Opportunities For Investors 

by Scott Posner, CFP, A.A.M.S. 

If you remember 1973, you 

know it was a difficult period for 

the United States. A series of 

events – including the Watergate 

scandal, the OPEC oil embargo, 

the Vietnam War and the resignation 

of Vice President Spiro 

Agnew – had shaken the public’s 

morale. By November, President 

Richard Nixon’s approval rating 

stood at 37% – and presidential 

approval ratings tend to track the 

mood of the nation. Given all 

this, you might think that 1973 

was not a good year in which to 

invest in the stock market. 

But you’d be wrong. From 

November 30, 1973 to 

November 30, 1983, the S&P 

500 recorded an average annual 

return of 10.9%. So, if you had 

invested $10,000 in the market at 

the beginning of that period, it 

would have grown to $28,139 by 

the end. And over the next 20 

years, from November 30, 1983 

to November 30, 2003, the S&P 

500 returned, on average, 12.8% 

a year; consequently, $10,000 

invested in 1983 would have 

grown to $111,219 in 20 years. 

(Keep in mind, however, that the 

S&P 500 is an unmanaged index, 

and you cannot invest directly 

into it. Also, past performance is 

not an indication of future 

results.) 

In short, if you had started 

investing in the troubled year of 

1973, and you had kept investing, 

you would have probably 

done pretty well over the next 

three decades. 

Now, let’s look at what’s happening 

in the country in 2006. 

We are facing global unrest, high 

gas prices and concerns about 

economic security. Although

there are some similarities between 1973 and 2006 

– a controversial war, high gas prices, political concerns 

– there are also some key differences. 

Perhaps most important, our economy today is 

much stronger than it was back then. And as an 

investor, you might be particularly interested in the 

following: 

• Interest rates are near a 40-year low. When interest 

rates are low, it is less expensive for businesses 

to borrow money to expand their operations. 

And as businesses grow, so does their attractiveness 

to investors. 

• Corporate profits are growing rapidly. Corporate 

profits have expanded at double-digit rates for 10 

consecutive quarters; profitability is one of the 

key fundamentals that drive a company’s stock 

price. So, despite the worried national mood, the 

investment climate of 2006 may actually be quite 

promising. 

Don’t Stop Investing 

It’s true that 2006 may be an unusually tense year 

for the country. But as we’ve seen, 1973 was also a 

difficult year – in fact, by some measures, considerably 

more unsettling than 2006 – and yet, many 

investors who had faith in the financial markets in 

1973 were amply rewarded. 

Of course, you might not achieve similar returns 

going forward over the next few decades – no one 

can predict the future course of the markets. But the 

experience of 1973 shows the historical importance 

of continuous investing. A systematic investment 

plan does not assure a profit and does not protect 

against loss in declining markets. Such a plan 

involves continuous investment in securities regardless 

of fluctuating price levels of such securities, the 

investor should consider the financial ability to continue 

the purchases through periods of low price 

levels. 

So don’t let today’s headlines keep you on the 

investment “sidelines.” If you buy quality investments, 

diversify your portfolio and invest for the 

long term, you may be able to design a strategy 

designed to work toward your financial goals – in 

good times and bad.

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING 


y Lawrence Glazer, CLU 

From the very moment of your 

engagement, your and your 

future spouse’s lives change forever. 

There are decisions to 

make, compromises to reach, 

families to mesh. With all the 

excitement and joy comes an 

assumption of new financial 

responsibilities as well. Being 

prepared for the financial 

changes a marriage will bring 

can only increase the comfort 

with which you adapt to your 

new role. Taking care of certain 

things early on can help you 

start off your married life on the 

right foot. 

Wedding and Honeymoon 

expenses: Weddings can be 

expensive. When you and your 

spouse return from your honeymoon, 

set up a time frame in 

which any remaining expenses 

from your wedding – such as 

those on credit cards – can be 

paid off, whether with gifts 

received or otherwise. 

Changing Beneficiaries: It’s 

important to dig out any old 

insurance policies, as well as 

documentation for your 401(k) 

and/or other retirement plans 

and update the beneficiary information 

on each. 

Existing Bank Accounts: To 

some extent, you and your 

– 62 – 


PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE: 

Ensuring Your Wedding Dreams Come True 

spouse will probably consolidate 

your finances. Review the terms 

of your existing bank accounts. 

Should you keep them? Close 

them? Open a joint account at 

the same bank? 

Health and Auto Insurance: 

Assess your existing health and 

auto insurance. In many cases it 

will save you and your spouse a 

significant amount of money to 

obtain joint coverage. 

Name Change: If you or your 

spouse change your last name, 

make sure it’s done on your 

credit cards, tax forms, driver’s 

license and passport, Social 

Security card, and voter registration 

card, as well as on bank 

accounts and insurance policies. 

Homeowners’ or Renters’ 

Insurance: If you haven’t already 

done so, make sure you’ve protected 

your home and other 

valuables with homeowners or 

renters insurance. In addition, 

extend coverage to the wedding 

gifts you receive and obtain coverage 

for your engagement and 

wedding rings. 

Student Loans and Credit 

Card Debts: Assess how much 

money you and your spouse 

owe. Consolidating assets can 

also mean consolidating liabilities. 

Plan a budget to manage 

any debts you and your spouse 

may have. 

Mortgages and Other Loans: 

Always make sure you’ve saved 

enough so that your mortgage, 

car payments, and/or other loan 

payments fit into your household 

budget. 

Life Insurance Policies: Getting 

married greatly increases 

your need for life insurance. 

Make sure both you and your 

spouse have the coverage you 

need. 

In preparing for your financial 

future as a married couple, you 

will have to take care of many 

details pertaining to things old, 

things new, and things borrowed. 

Being prepared and 

proactive will help ensure you 

won’t need to deal with the 

wedding blues.

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 over, and summer here, now is a great time to try something new.

were inducted into membership 

of the National Junior Honor 

Society in a ceremony held at the 

school. Members were selected 

by a Faculty Council for meeting

oldest and most prestigious 

national organizations for middle 

level students. Chapters exist in 

more than 60% of the nation’s 

middle level schools and, since 

1929, millions of students have 

been selected for membership.

encourage and recognize the 

middle school art students. 

N.J.A.H.S. has 502 chapters 

throughout the United States.

Are All Preschools Created Equal? Absolutely Not! 

by Linda Sjogren 

Trends in early childhood education 

have changed dramatically 

in recent years to accommodate 

the needs of an ever-changing 

society. With more parents in the 

workforce than ever before, less 

family time is spent with infant 

and toddler children at home. 

The increase in infants and toddlers 

reared in day care centers 

points to a growing need for 

improved early learning environments 

that nurture young children’s 

spirit, and support their 

social, emotional and intellectual

development. 

In response to societal changes 

and to rapid technological developments, 

many early childhood 

communities have modified the 

scope and sequence of their curriculum. 

Commercial pre-reading 

and phonics programs, and educational 

computer programs, 

have taken over as main venues 

for learning. Often, these program 

initiatives are marketed to 

impress a competitive adult society, 

rather than to meet the growing 

needs of young learners. 

Some early childhood programs 

have even thrown themselves 

into the dangerous arena of using 

parental guilt as a marketing strategy. 

“Accelerated learning programs” 

are being promoted as an 

equitable substitute for parental 

absence. Such programs offer 

parents the unfounded promise of 

producing a superior generation 

of young minds. Workbooks and 

worksheets, computers and hitech 

software, and other non-sensory 

vehicles are too often replacing 

the more meaningful and 

proven discovery approach that 

best supports young children’s 

learning. 

With all of these changes making 

an appearance on the early 

childhood horizon, fewer preschools 

than ever before offer 

programs that reflect good early 

childhood practice. In fact, many 

programs have literally sabotaged 

the inherent ways in which young 

children learn best. Performanceoriented 

programs place greater 

demands, and greater expectations, 

on young preschool age 

children, jeopardizing their feelings 

of self- worth. As a result, 

children’s natural curiosity and 

desire to learn through exploration 

and discovery is being lost 

in the haze of commercial marketing. 

Young children’s minds are 

capable of absorbing enormous 

amounts of new information.

continued 

sented in classrooms are abstract 

and irrelevant, however, learning 

is very short lived. Rich educational 

experiences that are meaningful, 

useful, and relevant to the 

individual child, are the ones that 

are lasting and enduring. A 

hands-on, multi sensory 

approach to learning is strongly 

advocated by early childhood 

specialists today, and this method 

of instruction has been confirmed 

over and over again by educational 

research. 

Early childhood programs that 

offer young children the opportunity 

to learn in a small, warm, 

and nurturing environment, and 

that recognizes the wide range of 

maturational and developmental 

levels of young children, are the 

ones that support optimal learning. 

Preschool programs rich literacy 

activities, with unlimited 

opportunities for hands-on, multisensory 

experiences, are the 

essential building blocks for children’s 

future academic success. A 

strong, productive, and enriched 

learning environment, whether it 

be a daycare setting or preschool, 

should be well balanced in their 

approach to the individually 

developing child, articulate in 

their understanding and application 

of early childhood development, 

and alive with the magic 

that is childhood. 

Parents need to become well 

informed about the many differences 

in public and private early 

childhood programs today. The 

choices made are ones that will 

last a lifetime.

Protect Yourself 

Heat Stress 

When the body is unable to 

cool itself by sweating, several 

heat-induced illnesses such as 

heat stress or heat exhaustion and 

the more severe heat stroke can 

occur, and can result in death. 

Factors leading to heat stress 

High temperature and humidity; 

direct sun or heat; limited air 

movement; physical exertion; 

poor physical condition; some 

medicines; and inadequate tolerance 

for hot workplaces. 

Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion 

• Headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness 

or fainting. 

• Weakness and moist skin. 

• Mood changes such as irritability 

or confusion. 

• Upset stomach or vomiting. 

Symptoms of Heat Stroke 

• Dry, hot skin with no sweating. 

• Mental confusion or losing consciousness. 

• Seizures or fits. 

Preventing Heat Stress 

• Know signs/symptoms of heatrelated 

illnesses; monitor yourself 

and coworkers. 

• Block out direct sun or other 

heat sources. 

• Use cooling fans/air-conditioning; 

rest regularly. 

• Drink lots of water; about 1 

cup every 15 minutes. 

• Wear lightweight, light colored, 

loose-fitting clothes. 

• Avoid alcohol, caffeinated 

drinks, or heavy meals. 

What to do for heat-related illness 

• Call 911 (or local emergency 

number) at once. 

While waiting for help to arrive: 

• Move the person to a cool, 

shaded area. 

• Loosen or remove heavy 

clothing. 

• Provide cool drinking water. 

• Fan and mist the person with 

water.

584-8100 

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. 

Eating For Health 

With summer approaching and the tendency 

to barbeque more often, keep in mind eating 

healthy is important. Healthy foods contain 

an array of vitamins, minerals and other 

disease-fighting substances. The following 

list of foods offer many benefits. 

Implementing these foods into your diet three 

or more times weekly can be particularly 

helpful in the fight against cancer. 

Garlic helps to reduce high blood pressure, 

harmful cholesterol and dangerous 

blood clotting. It helps the body to fight off 

potent carcinogens, and it helps to strengthen 

the immune system. 

Eggplants have antioxidant properties 

and boost immunity by stimulating activity of 

protective enzymes. They are part of the 

nightshade family – try avoiding if suffering 

with arthritis. 

Grape seeds are strong antioxidants. The 

fruit contains many nutrients, and they help 

cleanse the bowel. Eating grapes offers anticarcinogenic 

properties and induces detoxification 

enzymes. 

Nuts are an excellent source of calcium, 

magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, 

zinc, vitamin E and fiber. They also 

contain immune building essential fatty acids. 

Tomatoes contain carotenoids such as 

lycopene and lots of vitamin C. Numerous 

studies have shown their protective and healing 

effects on many forms of cancer, heart 

and circulatory diseases. When tomatoes are 

cooked, lycopene is more easily absorbed by 

the body. 

Cabbage can help trigger the production 

of enzymes that protects the cell’s DNA from 

being damaged by carcinogens. It also aids 

in the healthy metabolism of estrogen. 

Spinach protects against a variety of cancers. 

It is rich in antioxidants, including glutathione, 

alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10 

and lutein, as well as phytonutrients. Spinach 

leaves have been found to contain antioxidant 

protection more powerful than green tea 

or vitamin E. 

Beans – while soy gets most of the media 

attention, all beans are powerful cancer fighters. 

They are potent antioxidants and are 

linked with a decreased risk of breast, colon, 

lung, prostate, rectum and stomach cancers. 

Broccoli, besides being a rich source of 

vitamin C, beta-carotene, folate, calcium and 

fiber, contains two potent anticancer groups 

of phytochemicals. 

Watermelon is a summertime favorite – 

mostly water and nutrients, they are a good 

source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium, 

and magnesium. Eating watermelon can 

have a diuretic effect. 

Beet greens are delicious in salads, and 

they are high in iron, vitamin A, and calcium. 

The tasty red roots are richest in iron, betacarotene, 

magnesium, potassium, folic acid, 

copper, and vitamin C. 

Raspberries are abundant in the minerals 

calcium, magnesium, and iron. They contain 

a good source of vitamin C, and provide 

excellent fiber. They help to strengthen the 

immune system. 

Peppers inhibit the production of cancercausing 

nitrosamines during digestion. They 

are high in vitamin C, bioflavonoids, and vitamin 

A. Also a good source of folic acid, 

potassium, and niacin. 

Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc. They are 

SERVING THE 

ST. JAMES COMMUNITY 

a festive vegetable also high in fiber, betacarotene, 

and potassium. They act as a 

diuretic and mild laxative, and they are antagonistic 

to intestinal worms. 

Apples – a very nutritious fruit that is high 

in fiber. Apple pectin has a detoxifying effect. 

They are high in vitamins A and C, potassium, 

calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and 

other trace minerals. 

Cranberries are tart berries, mainly used 

cooked and in sauces. They contain vitamins 

A and C, and potassium. The juice and its 

extract are often used to reduce urinary tract 

infections. 

Yogurt is rich in “good” bacteria that stimulate 

immune activity and metabolize toxic 

hormones. These friendly flora appear to 

suppress the growth of bacteria that convert 

various compounds into carcinogens.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome 

by Dr. Linda M. Bocchichio 

The Journal of Manipulation 

and Physiological Therapies 

(JMPT) published a report comparing 

the effectiveness of 

NSAIDS (Nonsteroidal Anti 

Inflammatory Drugs) like Motrin 

and Advil with chiropractic treatment 

of carpal tunnel syndrome. 

Investigators found that with 

manipulation, ultrasound and 

bracing, that results were comparable 

with results found when 

NSAIDS and wrist bracing were 

used. The study found, however, 

that there were no side effects 

with chiropractic treatment, 

while 20% of the study participants 

experienced intolerance to 

ibuprofen. 

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a 

cause of hand weakness, numbness 

and/or pain. The problem 

arises when the median nerve 

becomes encroached in the tunnel 

of the wrist. This tunnel is 

made of several small bones that 

form a groove that is covered by 

a fibrous ligamentous structure 

called the flexor retinaculum. The 

nerve and other structures pass 

through this groove on their way 

to the hand. Irritation of this 

nerve causes the hand to develop 

weakness, numbness or pain. It 

can also cause symptoms in the 

arm, elbow, shoulder or neck. 

Carpal tunnel syndrome can 

occur after a wrist injury such as 

when the wrist is bent backward. 

It can also be caused by repetitive 

injuries involving the wrist such 

as hammering, typing, or even 

excessive leaning on your hand 

with wrist bent backward into 

extension. 

Chiropractic care can be an 

effective non invasive natural way 

for treating this and other chronic 

conditions such as tendonitis and 

muscular disorders.

Avenue So. in Nesconset. She is the

All aspects of our body’s systems 

require water – the brain, 

digestion, liver, lymph, etc. – 

without water we slowly die of 

dehydration. Many people don’t 

realize they are doing just that – 

slowly dying of dehydration. 

Our body needs to be replenished 

with pure water, not coffee, 

soda, beer, tea, just plain 

old water. As my mentor once 

said to me, you wouldn’t clean 

your kitchen counter with coffee, 

you use water – well, our body 

needs daily cleaning and water 

is the best cleanser. 

The following are facts about 

water: 

1. 75% of Americans are chronically 

dehydrated. 

2. In 37% of Americans, the 

thirst mechanism is so weak 

that it is often mistaken for 

Water: The Elixir of Life! 

hunger. 

3. Even MILD dehydration will 

slow down one’s metabolism 

as much as 3%. 

4. One glass of water shut down 

midnight hunger pangs for 

almost 100% of the dieters 

studied in a University of 

Washington study. 

5. Lack of water is the number 

one trigger of daytime fatigue. 

6. Preliminary research indicates 

that 8-10 glasses of water a 

day could significantly ease 

back and joint pain for up to 

80% of sufferers. 

7. A mere 2% drop in body 

water can trigger fuzzy shortterm 

memory, trouble with 

basic math, and difficulty 

focusing on the computer 

screen or on a printed page. 

8. Drinking five glasses of water 

daily decreases the risk of 

colon cancer by 45%, plus it 

can slash the risk of breast 

cancer by 79%, and one is 

50% less likely to develop 

bladder cancer. 

Are you drinking the amount 

of water you should every day? 

Please note: these facts are 

taken from the Public Citizen’s 

document, the Water Privatization 

Overview, which delves 

into the worldwide crisis over 

water. 

It’s quite amazing that we 

have all this information, and 

many people still only drink 

soda, coffee, juice. It’s very 

important to try to add water to 

your day. Carry a bottle with 

you, don’t wait until you are 

thirsty to drink it, by that time 

you are already dehydrating.

It helps relieve stress to the 

nerves, joints – lubricating them, 

the blood needs water or it gets 

thick and viscous, and don’t forget 

you are an electrical being, 

you need water to conduct messages 

throughout the body. If 

there is a build up of toxins in 

the body (we accumulate them 

in our daily lives from airborne 

pollutants, food, stress) water 

dilutes it and carries them out of 

the body – which is a lot less 

stressful on the kidneys, liver, 

the detoxifiers that have many 

functions – so drinking water 

can help them tremendously. 

Water is our best friend, it 

relieves our body of unwanted 

pain and disease. We must treat 

our body to pure water at least 

seven to eight times per day. 

Know your water requirement by 

doing this simple calculation: 

Take your weight in pounds – 

say 120 lbs., and divide it in 

half, this is the amount of 

ounces of water you need every 

day – so this equals 60 oz. 

(divide by 8 oz. per cup), so a 

120 lb. person should drink 

about 7-1/2 cups of water per 

day. For those of you who have 

a water base soup during the 

day, that counts too, or if you 

drink herbal tea, this can replace 

a cup as well. All fruits and vegetables 

have a certain amount of 

water in them, but not a lot 

(except watermelon). 

Try to keep tract of your daily 

intake and see where you can 

make adjustments. In the beginning 

you may find you are peeing 

more, but like a potted plant 

that hasn’t been watered in a 

year, it takes time for the water 

to absorb into the cells, give it 

time, and don’t worry if you 

have to go to the bathroom, this 

is a normal bodily function, you 

should eliminate many times per 

day, this is how we eliminate 

toxins and have clearer thoughts 

and more energy. 

The best way to start your day 

is to drink 16 ounces of pure 

water, you can add lemon or 

lime juice to it, fresh squeezed – 

of course, this will help detoxify 

the liver and you will have more 

energy throughout your day and 

your life.

Now that its warm, we have 

no excuse to stay indoors. If you 

are afraid of bugs or sun, know 

that when you are eating well 

and simply time your outdoor 

activities to nature, you will be 

taken care of. The sun is not our 

enemy, it gives life to every being 

on this planet, without it we 

would have no food, no life. If 

you are careful, the sun will not 

harm you, it actually has anticancer 

benefits. 

So what do we do outdoors? 

MOVE! Walk, Swim, play Tennis, 

Ride your Bike, Play Baseball, 

Basketball, Hoola Hooping, 

whatever you enjoy doing, do it 

daily outdoors. There is nothing 

like getting fresh air in your 

lungs, raise your hands up over 

your head (hold your fingers 

together, facing forward) and take 

a deep breath, bring the arms to 

your sides slowly and breathe 

out. Face the four directions – 

North, South, East & West, and 

do this breathing three times in 

each direction. These are energizing 

breaths because they 

Nature and the Great Outdoors 

cleanse all the lobes of your lungs 

and bring in clean fresh air to 

replace the stale air you’ve been 

collecting. Do this daily. 

Listen to nature. Everyday, 

observe the gifts we have around 

us, the birds, the squirrels, deer, 

bats, bugs – I love the fireflies, 

get your kids to count them. We 

have wonderful state parks and 

trails all over this country, the 

world is our playground – go out 

on an Adventure! Pack a lunch 

and go find your place in the sun. 

I hope you will all take this 

advice, as it can de-stress your 

body, mind and spirit like no 

other activity. There is a humbling 

quality to nature. It works 

so perfectly in harmony within 

itself. It’s our gift from God and 

we are its caretakers. Please be 

responsible and take care of our 

Mother Earth. 

Bring Nature into Your Home – 

Open the windows and air it out. 

Clean the dust from indoors and 

allow your living space to be 

more alive! Grow plants. Only 

certain plants should be in your 

sleeping space. Green is very 

healing and it makes sense to 

look at it daily. Indoor plants will 

give you that opportunity all year 

long!

by Dana Variello 

The life of a hairdresser can be 

very exciting. I love to share with 

clients all of the wonderful experiences 

that I have, especially my 

travels. This past month several 

coworkers and I were lucky 

enough to get to attend one of the 

largest hair shows of the year, 

MATRIX DESTINATION. The 

event took place at the MGM 

Grand hotel in Las Vegas, 

Nevada. Over 7,000 hairdressers, 

colorists, and salon owners took 

part in making this show a great 

success. 

Matrix, the company hosting 

the event has supplied our industry 

with fabulous hair color and 

top of the line hair care products 

for many years. The company 

was founded in 1980 by a man 

named Arnie Miller. Over the 

past 26 years the company has 

grown so much. Education is one 

reason why this company is so 

successful in its mission to 

expand and connect with people. 

They teach hairdressers to transform 

their passion for beauty into 

personal success. In 2004 matrix 

opened a global academy in New 

York City. This is where hairdressers 

train and learn new cutting 

edge color techniques and 

haircuts. Stylists from all over the 

world attend the academy and 

are trained by only the best educators 

Matrix can offer. 

The first night of the event was 

an introduction party. Everyone 

was able to meet and greet. We 

learned about the history of the 

company and met the individuals 

responsible for organizing the 

event. After the party we spent 

the rest of the evening losing all 

of our money in the casino! 

The second day of the show 

we spent in classes. We were 

able to choose six classes that we 

wanted and attended four of them 

on the first day. The choices varied 

from haircutting, color, men’s 

hair, retailing and motivational 

training. The rooms were enormous 

and the stages were set up 

Matrix Destination 

so the educators could display 

their work and explain how to 

achieve the same looks. We 

learned new blonding techniques, 

tips, and patterns. We 

saw some amazing up do’s. We 

also learned great new haircutting 

techniques. 

The cutting edge – 

The cutting edge – 

find 


The last day of the show we 

attended the last two classes of 

our choice. The first class was 

called the “xy factor, it’s a girl or 

guy thing.” This class was 

designed to use the same looks 

and make them convertible for a

one day who needed advice on 

her love life. She said, I really like

Dr Lew replied you should run up 

to him tell him that you are so 

attracted to him, tell him that you 

would love to take him out for a 

date. The next week the woman 

went back to see him and he 

asked her, did you ask the guy 

out? She said, no I didn’t. He 

said, well why not? She said, I 

was going to, but my hairdresser 

advised me against it!

P E T C A R E 

by Dr. Bonnie Brown 

For most families, summer 

brings thoughts of a welldeserved 

vacation. For pet owners, 

deciding what to do with the 

four-legged members of the family 

can be a difficult decision. 

Should you bring them along? 

Keep them home? Place them in a 

boarding kennel? Whatever 

choice you make, there are some 

things you can do to ensure that 

your vacation is fun for your pet, 

too. 

Warnings For Road Warriors 

Just as it’s sensible for you to 

use a seatbelt, your pet should be 

secure, too. You don’t want your 

poor pet to go flying if you have 

to make a sudden stop or swerve! 

Cats and small dogs are safest if 

placed in a carrier. Larger dogs 

should travel in the back seat or 

behind the rear seat in a station 

wagon, preferably with a barrier. 

Never allow your dog to ride in 

the back of an open truck or jeep, 

or with its head hanging out of 

the window. 

A long trip with a full bladder 

is no fun for anyone. Have a litterbox 

on hand for your cat, and 

make regular stops to allow your 

dog to relieve himself and stretch 

his legs. Have food and water 

available, too. 

And, of course, never leave 

your pet unattended in the car, 

especially if you’re traveling in 

warm weather. Your car will heat 

up surprisingly fast, and hundreds 

of pets each year fall victim to 

heat stroke. 

Tips for Air Travelers 

Call ahead to check your airline’s 

requirements for furry flyers. 

You will usually need both a 

certificate of vaccination and a 

health certificate from your veterinarian. 

All pets must be placed 

in a carrier. Small pets can often 

be placed under the seat, but 

larger pets are placed in the cargo 

hold. Make sure the hold is heated 

in winter and air-conditioned 

Vacation Time and Your Pet 

in warmer climates. 

Needless to say, air travel can 

be very stressful for your pet. 

Avoid feeding your dog or cat for 

several hours before boarding to 

reduce the possibility of air sickness. 

Check with your veterinarian 

to see if he or she recommends 

a tranquilizer. 

Hints for Hotel Stays 

Not all hotels and motels welcome 

pets, and many that do 

have a limited number of rooms 

in which they are allowed. To 

find one, call the Chamber of 

Commerce in that state and ask 

for a list of lodgings that welcome 

animals, or check with your local 

ASPCA, shelter, bookstore or the 

internet for a listing. 

Make sure your favorite Fido or 

feline is a courteous guest. If your 

dog is a barker, or your cat is a 

yowler, think twice about leaving 

them alone in the room. Make 

sure your dog is leashed, for his 

safety and the safety of the unexpected 

hotel maid. And, of 

course, be considerate about 

where you walk your dog. 

Bring enough of your own pet 

food in case you find yourself in 

an area where your brand is 

unavailable. A rapid change in 

diet can cause gastrointestinal 

problems. If you will be out of 


town for any length of time, ask 

your veterinarian at home to suggest 

the name of a local hospital 

or veterinarian to contact in case 

of emergencies. 

Strategies for Stay-Behinds 

If you cannot travel with your 

pets, the least disruptive option is 

to have someone stay with them 

at your own home. Your pet will 

feel more secure in its home environment, 

and that will help them 

handle the stress of your absence. 

Visiting with a family member or 

close friend may also be a good 

choice. 

If you must board your pet, 

you need to decide between a 

veterinary hospital or a kennel. 

Veterinary hospitals have the 

advantage of medical supervision, 

but they often have limited 

space and activities for your pet. 

Kennels generally have more 

space, but rarely have an on-site 

veterinarian. 

Always visit any facility where 

you plan to board your pet. Is it 

clean and dry? How often are 

dogs exercised, and where? Are 

the pets protected from the 

weather and separated from each 

other? Does the kennel require 

that all pets be currently vaccinated? 

What food does the kennel 

use, and what is the feeding 

schedule? Will they use your food 

if you provide it? What happens if 

an animal becomes ill? If your pet 

is on medication, be sure there is 

someone competent to administer 

the prescription. 

Remember: any change of 

routine can be stressful for your 

pet, whether it goes with you or 

stays behind. Just like every other 

aspect of your vacation, planning 

for your pet’s needs will help 

ensure an enjoyable experience 

for all.
