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. 


“T’was the day before Christmas, 

but there was no cheer. 

No jingle bells jingled, 

no sound of reindeer. 

The word had got out 

that Santa was sick. 

There’d be no friendly visit 

from jolly St. Nick. 

The people were smiling, 

the music was snappy, 

With all the patients contented 

and happy. 

In a very short time, 

to judge by the clock, 

He was in the adjustment room 

talking to Doc. 

serVing the 

st. James 

communitY 

The people were sad; 

no gaiety sounded, 

For Christmas had come, 

but Santa was grounded. 

He walked down the street, 

and what should he see? 

The lights were still on 

at the local D.C. 

Now Santa was not one 

to like a new tactic, 

But all else had failed, 

so he’d try Chiropractic. 

He entered the office, 

and saw with a glance 

In a place such as this, 

illness hasn’t a chance. 

“Oh Doc, take a look 

at the size of this pack! 

Have you any idea 

what it does to by back?” 

Poor Santa was miserable; 

just barely able, 

With the help of the Doctor, 

to get on the table. 

The Doctor was gentle. 

Without fuss or tussle, 

He examined the vertebrae 

and relaxed every muscle. 

He spotted the trouble 

and then with a click, 

He started aligning 

the ailing St. Nick. 

And Santa felt aches and pains 

slipping away. 

In no time at all 

he began to feel gay. 

The air was a-tingle 

with new fallen snow, 

And healthy Kris Kringle 

was rarin’ to go. 

So may I, at this time, echo his cheer? 

Merry Christmas to you 

and a Happy New Year.”

Celebrating Channukah... 

The Festival of Lights 

photos by 

William J. Garthe 

St. James residents gathered on Wednesday, December 1, 2010 at the triangle 

on Lake Avenue and Route 25A in St. James beginning the celebration 

of Chanukah with the lighting of the Menorah. Throughout the eight days of 

Chanukah, residents joined at the Menorah in prayer and song, and all the 

children in attendance got a chance to light a candle. 

The St. James Chamber of Commerce provided food and treats throughout 

the celebration. Special thanks to Laura Hirsch who coordinated the event 

again this year.

Annual 

Christmas Tree 

Lighting 

The St. James Chamber of Commerce held their 

annual Christmas Tree Lighting at the Gazebo on 

Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 4 p.m. The beautiful 

but cold day brought a huge crowd to celebrate 

this annual event. Santa arrived on schedule via 

St. James Fire Truck. Cookies and hot chocolate 

were available to all as were candy canes and 

coloring books for the kids. Pictures with Santa 

were a big hit. 

Rev. Neil Mittelstaedt from the St. James 

Lutheran Church led the group in prayer and song. 

Thanks to Hither Brook Nursery for supplying 

Santa’s special chair and tree. Thanks to Chris at 

Lake Village Deli for making the hot chocolate and to Scott Posner of Edward 

Jones for supplying the festive holiday music. Thanks to King Kullen 

for their generous supply of cookies, and special thanks to the Girl Scouts 

of Troop 2185, St. James, who decorated the tree at the St. James Gazebo.

[ÉÄ|wtç ZÜxxà|Çzá 

from Lawrence Glazer, President, St. James Chamber of Commerce 

As the year 2010 winds 

down, we are again reminded 

of what is really important to 

us: family, friends, other loved ones and the relationships 

that make our lives meaningful. For me, this time of year 

always brings into focus that which we should be thankful 

for. 

I would like to thank the St. James community for 

their continued support of the Chamber businesses. 

Chamber events forge strong community ties, and enrich 

town solidarity. Although the world has expanded so 

greatly due to the Internet, there is no replacement for 

personal one-on-one contacts and relationships. 

Please take this time to enjoy the season and all it has 

to offer. 

In closing, I wish the community of St. James a joyous 

Holiday with wishes for health, happiness and prosperity 

for the coming year.

Painting and drawing, a passion 

of Ms. Goldstein’s since she was a

this day. She is particularly

work through television, publications

It’s that time of year again for 

the St. James Polar Bear Club 

and “we begin to ask ourselves, 

‘What act of stupidity can I perform 

for the sake of charity?’ 

Well, my friends, here’s your answer. 

We celebrate this wonderful 

season by preparing for our 

annual Polar Bear Plunge!” 

In its inaugural season, the St. 

James Polar Bear Club raised 

over $1,350 for the Children’s 

Diabetes Foundation. This year’s 

event promises to be bigger and 

colder. Their plunge is scheduled 

for Sunday, January 16, 2011 at 

10 a.m. at Long Beach in Nissequogue, 

Long Island. 

If you are interested in taking 

part in this crazy adventure at 

Long Beach, (pre-registration is 

$35; day of plunge is $50). 

Please print out both forms on 

their website: www.stjamespolarbearclub.org. 

Bring the completed 

and notarized forms to the 

beach, then prepare to feel the 

wintry embrace of the Long Island 

Sound! All proceeds will go 

to the CDF and participants will 

receive a St. James PBC long 

sleeve t-shirt. 

– 42 – 


St. James Polar Bear Club to Take the Plunge 

For additional information you 

may call Polar Bear Reza Kilahifar 

at 949-8184. If you are unable 

to get the forms completed, 

there will be a notary on site the 

day of the plunge. 

If you don’t want to participate, 

come on down and give 

these Polar Bears some “warm” 

support. You can also support 

them by making a donation to 

the Children’s Diabetes Foundation. 

Send you donations (also 

pre-registration forms) to: St. 

James Polar Bear Club, c/o Reza 

Kolahifar, 246 St. James Avenue 

North, St. James, NY 11780 

Helpful HintS for 

SWimmerS 

by reza Kolahifar, Polar Bear 

• Warm boots after swim: Have 

warm/dry boots or shoes to put 

on once you get out of the 

Sound. This is an important 

point – once your feet get cold, 

your entire body will want to 

go on strike. Not good for a 

long walk back to your car. 

• Blanket to sit on: Bring an old 

blanket or towel to put down 

on the icy shoreline to sit 

down on and change 

before/after the swim. I learned 

this the hard way after my 

swimming suit froze to the 

ground with me in it! 

• Do you wear glasses? If you 

wear glasses, we suggest you 

obtain an “athletic strap” or 

something similar to hold them 

to your face, or not wear them 

at all! It is quite difficult to find 

glasses that have been dropped 

in the water on a sandy and icy 

beach, and it you find them, 

you may not want them after 

all! 

• 3...2...1... Several minutes before 

10 a.m., get to your blanket/ 

changing area to begin to 

disrobe. 

• Savor the moment: Finally, the 

swim will be over before your 

goosebumps know what hit 

them, so savor the moment out 

in the Sound with your fellow 

Polar Bears – 

And for 

God’s sake, 

SMILE for 

the camera!

Family, Friends and Community Coming Together as One, 

Serving the Entire Smithtown Community 

by Christina C. Alcure, Ph.D., 

Christine Fitzgerald and 

Kristy Jaeger 

The Smithtown Children’s 

Foundation originally came together 

to help Kaylee Rivers, a 

kindergartner from Branch Brook 

Elementary who was diagnosed 

with Neuroblastoma in 2008. 

We realized as we pooled our 

resources, that we were building 

something that could help the 

entire Smithtown community. 

Even though Kaylee has since 

passed away, her courage continues 

to inspire us on our journey 

helping other local families in 

crisis. To date, we have assisted 

families by paying their medical 

bills, purchasing medical equipment 

for special needs children, 

paying overdue mortgages, and 

other household bills when unforeseen 

illness or another circumstance 

arise. 

No one wants to be the family 

requiring our assistance. Unfortunately 

this cannot always be 

helped and when we do help, 

these families really do appreciate 

the care and consideration 

afforded them by the foundation, 

along with the support from their 

community. The Smithtown Children’s 

Foundation is a nonprofit 

charitable tax exempt 501(c)(3) 

organization and we are 100% 

volunteers. 

We hold several signature 

fundraisers throughout the year 

including the Friends Fore the 

Smithtown Community Golf 

Tournament at The Hamlet, the 

Annual Holiday Breakfast/Boutique 

hosted by Maureen’s 

Kitchen and the Kisses for Kaylee 

Memorial Dinner/Dance at The 

Watermill which will be held on 

Wednesday, February 16, 2011. 

You can also visit our website at 

www.smithtownchildrensfoundation.com 

to see photos of these 

and other exciting events. These 

fundraisers allow us to be an immediate 

resource to help local 

families in need.

be a resource for your community 

and consider sponsoring this 

organization. See if you can find 

it in your heart to help us make 

our community one that others 

will want to emulate. 

In conjunction with the Rivers 

family, we have also initiated a 

college scholarship for a graduating 

senior from both Smithtown 

High School East and West attending 

a four year college for 

nursing. As the word spreads of 

our mission, we have had student 

clubs as well as the Smithtown 

Teachers Association fund 

raise for us. This past spring, two 

students from Great Hollow Middle 

School hosted a Teen 

Karaoke Night at Blacksmith’s 

Tavern which will now become 

one of our annual events. In addition, 

Mercedes Benz of Smithtown 

recently held a networking 

night for us right in their showroom. 

Won’t you consider joining 

these and other friends of the 

Foundation. We would like to 

thank you in advance for helping 

us serve the community. 

our mission is to provide financial 

and emotional support to 

children and families within our 

Smithtown community by bridging 

family, friends, neighbors and 

local businesses to act as one in 

times of crisis. 

As our mission statement suggests, 

we need community involvement 

to be successful. Only 

through your generosity can we 

help those in need. There are various 

sponsorship opportunities 

available. We will also gladly accept

“Lives, Loves and Laments of the People of St. James…” 

“Clinton Smith, a hero of the Spanish-American War, or was he?” 

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. Last month I wrote about 

Joel L.G. Smith, the man who 

built deepwells, and the 

tragedy he experienced while 

living there. This story is about 

Clinton H. Smith, the man 

who owned deepwells from 

1897 to 1905, and eventually 

sold it to William J. Gaynor. 

When Joel L.G. Smith sold 

Deepwells in 1857, he sold it to a 

man named W.M. Pullis who 

owned the house for a number of 

years. Sometime after 1861, Pullis 

sold the house to Milton G. Smith. 

Milton G. Smith, descended from 

a family of Smiths whose origins 

trace back to Putnam County, was 

a ship builder in New York City. 

Like his father, William Smith, 

Milton “followed that calling 

through life.” He married a 

woman named Sarah Augusta 

Hart who also came from New 

York City. Sarah and Milton had 

four sons and one daughter. Their 

eldest son was Clinton H. Smith 

and he inherited Deepwells from 

his father. 

Just how and why Milton G. 

Smith acquired Deepwells in 

Smithtown is not known. Nor do 

we know if Milton G. Smith is related 

to the Smiths of Smithtown. 

There is one entry in the Richard 

Smith family genealogy for a Milton 

H. Smith, an eighth generation 

descendant of Richard 

Smythe, born on August 22, 1850, 

and died on May 28, 1915. But he 

married Carrie L. Newton and 

they had only one child, a daughter 

named Jeanne Amelia, so Milton 

G. Smith is apparently not 

directly related to Milton H. 

Smith. (Dr. Frederick Kinsman 

Smith, The Family of Richard 

Smith of Smithtown, Long Island, 

Smithtown Historical Society, 

Smithtown, NY, 1967, p. 430.) 

According to Clinton H. Smith’s 

biography in the Portrait and Biographical 

Record of Suffolk County, 

Milton G. Smith purchased Joel 

L.G. Smith’s home in St. James 

about the time his son, Clinton H. 

Smith, was born. Since Clinton 

was born on June 23, 1861, his father 

must have purchased the 

Smith home sometime after that 

date. The biography also notes 

that Milton G. Smith “spent the remainder 

of his life” there, “during 

the latter part of which he was an 

invalid.” His wife lived there 

“until her death, which occurred 

in April, 1892.” Clinton H. Smith 

inherited Deepwells from his father, 

Milton G. Smith, in 1892 and 

Clinton became a “summer resident 

of St. James.” (Portrait and Biographical 

Record of Suffolk 

County, Chapman Publishing 

Company, 1896, p. 1033-1034.) 

Clinton H. Smith was born and 

raised in New York City. He was 

educated in city schools, attended 

Plainfield Academy in Plainfield, 

New Jersey, “subsequently receiving 

private instruction from a tutor 

at home. At the age of 16 he took 

a clerkship in a supply house, but 

this he finally left to engage in 

business promising better things. 

In March of 1879,” at the age of 

18, Clinton “accepted a position 

in the department of public parks 

in New York City. He was advanced 

until finally he was appointed 

Assistant Secretary” to the 

Secretary of Public Parks. He was 

married in 1881 to Mary L. Retons 

who was also a New York City resident. 

The young couple lived in 

Harlem. In 1881, Clinton Smith 

joined the National Guard and in 

1887 was elected Lieutenant of 

the 71st Regiment. He remained 

active in the National Guard and 

was steadily promoted, becoming 

Major in 1892. (Portrait and Biographical 

Record, p. 1033-34.) 

We know that Major Clinton 

Smith was living in Deepwells in 

July of 1897, “because a New york 

Times article of July 30, 1897 

mentions that Major Clinton 

Smith of St. James was ‘seriously

continued 

hurt’ in an accident on the Long 

Island Railroad. A storm on July 

29 caused a washout of the tracks 

that led to the derailment of the 

eastbound train after it left Kings 

Park. Major Smith and his brotherin-law, 

C.H. Woodhull, were on 

the train and both were hurt. 

Major Smith was cut on his neck, 

broke three ribs, and his legs were 

‘badly cut.’ To what extent he was 

incapacitated by his injuries and 

how long it took him to recover is 

not known,” but it is apparent that 

he was living in Deepwells at the 

time. (Bradley Harris, “Deepwells,” 

Long Island Historical 

Journal, published by Department 

of History and the Center for Regional 

Policy Studies of Stony 

Brook University, Fall 2006/Spring 

2007, p. 49-50.) 

Major Smith recovered from his 

injuries so that he could join his 

National Guard unit when it 

shipped out of New York for 

Tampa, Florida, where it became 

part of the expeditionary forces 

organized to free Cuba. Promoted 

to Lt. Col., Smith was present with 

his unit, the 71st Regiment, when 

American forces stormed the 

heights of San Juan Hill. “‘He returned 

to Smithtown as a hero of 

the Spanish-American War,’ a 

courageous participant in the battle 

for San Juan Hill, and was welcomed 

back to Smithtown on 

October 1, 1898 with one of ‘the 

finest patriotic celebrations ever 

held in town.’ County officials and 

‘prominent guests from all parts of 

town’ jammed Academy Hall on 

Main Street in Smithtown. 

Speeches, a ceremonial flag-raising, 

fireworks, and more speeches 

welcomed Clinton Smith home. 

The crowning event of the 

evening was the presentation of a 

ceremonial sword that had been 

purchased by the local townsfolk 

and ‘as the sword was handed to 

the gallant officer he was greeted 

with cheers.’ The little village of 

Smithtown Branch had never seen 

‘such a crowd of people before 

and the greatest enthusiasm was 

manifested.’” (Harris, “Deepwells,” 

op. cit., p. 50.) 

“This celebration may have 

been just a little premature. A 

month later, Lt. Col. Smith was 

humiliated by accusations of cowardice 

during the Battle of San

“Lives, Loves and Laments of the People of St. James…” 


to their account, the senior officers 

of the 71st Regiment, Col. 

Downs, Lt. Col. Clinton Smith and 

Major Whittle, chose not to lead 

the regiment forward into the battle 

across the river and up the hill 

when ordered to do so. Col. 

Downs said he could not go forward. 

As a result, regular army 

troops were dispatched to the 

front passing Col. Down’s regiment 

on the way. Some of the regiment 

moved forward with the 

regulars and engaged in the fighting 

on San Juan Hill but, the senior 

officers stayed where they 

were, three miles away from the 

action. 

“Their allegations of cowardice” 

incensed the “Governor of 

New York State, Teddy Roosevelt, 

the leader in the Battle of San Juan 

Hill, and he ordered a Court of Inquiry 

to investigate the matter. The 

Court of Inquiry met and recommended 

that a court martial be 

convened to review Lt. Col. 

Smith’s ‘moral character, capacity, 

and general fitness for service in 

the National Guard as a commissioned 

officer.’ Governor Roosevelt 

then summoned Lt. Col. 

Smith to appear before a military 

tribunal. ‘This resulted in his being 

condemned and cashiered. Gov. 

Roosevelt approved the findings 

of the commission and on June 6, 

1900, Major Smith was dismissed 

from the service.’” (Harris, “Deepwells,” 

op. cit., p. 50.) 

“Smith believed he had not received 

a fair trial” since he maintained 

that he had gone to the rear 

when the engagement began, reported 

in sick, and had not returned 

to front for a couple of 

days. He “took his case into civil 

courts. Eventually he was exonerated 

and reinstated” to his rank in 

the National Guard “in November 

of 1901, when the Appellate Division 

of the New York State 

Supreme Court found that he had 

not received a fair trial. But Smith 

was never able to confront his accusers 

in court, so he was never 

able to erase the stigma of cowardice. 

He certainly was never 

able to return to Smithtown and 

confront the townsfolk who had 

made him their hero.” One wonders 

what Clinton Smith did with 

the sword. (Harris, “Deepwells,” 

op. cit., p. 50.) 

“From this point in his life, 

Smith lived in New York City at 50 

Cathedral Parkway and decided to 

rent out his fully furnished home 

in St. James. Smith’s employment 

as the Assistant Secretary of the 

New York City Board of Parks 

Commissioners may have been 

how New York State Supreme 

Court Judge William Jay Gaynor 

became aware that the Smith 

House in St. James was available 

for rent. Gaynor already had a 

home at 20 Eighth Avenue in 

Brooklyn and a modest summer 

house in Bellmore, but he decided 

to rent the house in St. 

James for a couple of summers to 

see if he liked the north shore of 

Long Island.” (Harris, Deepwells,” 

op. cit. p. 51.) 

Gaynor rented Clinton Smith’s 

house for three summers before 

purchasing the property. “Some issues 

with his landlord arose, however, 

when Judge Gaynor moved 

to buy the house. Clinton Smith 

‘sued the Judge for breakage of 

crockery and furniture as well as 

the rent which Gaynor withheld’ 

when the ‘carriage horse died before 

he took possession’ of the 

house. ‘Gaynor got even with his 

landlord by buying the place at a 

reasonable figure through a 

dummy’ and then purchasing the 

house and farm in 1905.” In this 

way, Clinton Smith’s residence 

passed into the hands of William 

J. Gaynor. (Harris, “Deepwells,” 

op. cit., p. 51.)

A S P E C I A L R E M E M B R A N C E 

To my faithful readers 

and fellow “St. Jamesers,” 

by Natalie Weinstein, Allied 

ASID 

Since my dear Bernie 

passed away, your outpouring 

of sympathy and affection has 

been amazing and greatly appreciated. 

Many of you attended 

his memorial service 

and it was a fitting tribute to a 

man who made a difference. 

Your numbers filled the sanctuary 

at Temple Beth Sholom. 

At this season, more than ever, 

family, giving, caring and saying 

“I love you” should be uppermost 

in our minds. Permit 

me to share with you the 

words I spoke to my grandchildren 

at Bernie’s funeral. 

Perhaps its simplistic message, 

“Live every day” will resonate 

and bring you joy and peace this 

holiday season and beyond. 

Dear Katrina and Neil, 

This is a day for telling stories 

and stories have been the way 

we have history. “his – story” – 

his story – get it? This is part of 

the history of Bernie or 

“Bernard” as Grandma Gertie 

would call him when she got 

angry. I’ve heard what a wonderful 

baby he was even though his 

mother never cut his hair until he 

was 3 years old and he looked 

like Bernice instead of Bernie. 

Fortunately, his sister helene, 

came along and Gertie decided 

it was nice to have a cute little 

boy as well as a pretty little girl – 

just like you two. 

Bernie was a good boy who 

listened and always finished 

everything on his plate unlike his 

skinny sister, which is maybe 

why he wasn’t so skinny when 

he got older. he was a happy kid 

who had lots of friends, some for 

all of his life. When Bernie 

learned to ride a bike, he ventured 

a little farther from home 

and made friends on my block. 

That’s when I met him. I was 11, 

Remembering Bernie 


the same age as you, Katrina. 

he was a little past 13 and he 

was cute! But there was one person 

who really didn’t think he 

was cute and that was my 

Grandma Molly – or maybe she 

thought he was too cute. I can 

still hear her saying, “Go’vay 

from here already – Don’t you 

have a home?” But he kept 

hanging around and coming 

back. 

Shortly after Bernie’s Bar Mitzvah, 

his parents decided to repaint 

their house and had 

removed all the wallpaper from 

the hallway. That day, all Bernie’s 

boy friends were over for a visit 

and he did something very 

strange. he took a crayon and 

drew a big heart on the wall with 

my initials and his initials in it 

and then turned to his friend, 

richy, who was thinking this was 

all pretty funny and said, “you 

can laugh – but I’m going to 

marry her someday.” So kids, if 

you think that your determination 

doesn’t run in our family, 

think again. Grampy was a determined 

teenager and grown up 

and always fought for what he 

believed in – especially his family. 

And when Grampy found 

out he was sick 10 years ago, 

he made up his mind to fight 

with everything he had for as 

long as he could to stay with 

his family. And he did a great 

job! And you, Neil and Katrina, 

were two special reasons 

for his superhuman 

effort. you know how proud 

he was of you and how much 

he loved both of you and 

loved to spoil you. he always 

talked about you and showed 

your pictures to everyone. he 

wanted every visit or trip with 

you to be special – so that 

you would always have 

happy memories. And he 

loved doing all that stuff with 

you – from Wannado City – 

to American Girl – to Disney 

– to Washington or Boston or 

Philadelphia or San Francisco 

or just spending time at Thanksgiving 

or Passover, or what you 

all loved to do together – 

ShoP!!! 

And Grampy did love to shop 

– so here’s a story to remember. 

Just a few days before Grampy 

went to the hospital, we had a 

lovely lady by the name of hyacinth 

with him at night because 

he was kind of restless. At 4:30 

in the morning, Grampy got up 

and insisted hyacinth get him 

dressed. Why?, asked hyacinth, 

“Where do you want to go?” 

“WALMArT!” – he said. 

That was your Grampy. But 

Grampy was also the man who 

helped build not one but two 

synagogues, was president of his 

rotary Chapter, erected the 

largest Sukkoh ever in Suffolk 

County, ran Seder’s for 50 people 

or more in our home, designed 

and built theatre sets for all of 

our synagogue’s “off off” Broadway 

shows, made the best barbeques 

ever, and always, always 

carved the brisket or turkey like 

no one else could. he wasn’t 

much for Scrabble, but dominos 

with his entire family sure made

him happy – and he was a great 

radio guest expert. 

Grampy also made friends easily, 

and when he lost a lot of 

weight and I made him shave his 

head and grow a mustache and 

goatee, he was really cute. Lots 

of women would talk to him in 

Publix, Costco and you guessed 

it, Walmart. he had the nicest 

shaped bald head and we all 

loved to rub and kiss it. But while 

his head was cute, his heart was 

magnificent. When it came to his 

family – it was wide as the 

ocean. I don’t think he ever said, 

“No” and because our children 

and you guys didn’t expect 

things, he wanted to give even 

more. And Terry, my dear wonderful 

daughter-in-law and supermom, 

you let him- because you 

loved him and knew it made him 

so happy to spoil you all. 

Katrina and Neil, we all know 

how much you loved Grampy, 

not because he spoiled you, but 

because he loved doing things 

with you and for you and just 

being with you. you guys can’t 

remember, but when you were 

little, Grampy flew out to California 

without me to help take care 

of you while Mommy and Daddy 

were working. he built you a 

doll house, Katrina. he and 

Grandpa harvey built you both a 

toy chest. he came to supervise 

construction on your house 

Remembering Bernie 

when you needed him and I 

know you’ll always sit at your 

dining room table and think of 

him. yours and uncle David’s 

were designed by him and made 

in his factory. The things you 

have in your home and the memories 

you hold in your heart are 

all special gifts from Grampy. 

your Grampy was lovable, 

laughable and sometimes loud. 

As you know, a few of us in our 

family are “yellers” – a habit he 

tried to change after he got sick, 

and to a large degree, succeeded. 

he yelled in the factory 

but his men respected him. he 

yelled in the office, but our staff 

loved him dearly, and he sometimes 

yelled at home. But he was 

all bluster and most people knew 

it. If he could say one thing to 

you now about this habit, he 

would tell you to stop and control 

your temper because you 

never want to hurt the ones you 

love, (and it doesn’t make you 

feel very good, either.) 

So Grampy you see, as special 

as he was, was human. he was 

in my life for over 56 of his 69 

years. I knew him as a teenager, 

young man, husband, father and 

grandfather. he was a loving son 

to not only his own parents but 

to mine, who he considered his, 

as well as a caring and concerned 

brother and very proud 

uncle. But there were two people 

in his life to whom he couldn’t 

say “I love you” enough- especially 

in the last ten years of 

his life. he was so proud of 

them – of their achievements, 

and the kind of men they became. 

When he was sick, your 

Daddy and uncle David 

dropped everything to be there 

for him and they cared for him 

with so much love. 

As for me, there will never be 

another Bernie. We grew up together, 

made a life together, and 

loved each other. he was proud 

of me and my accomplishments, 

never ceasing to encourage me. 

he was my cheering section and 

the butt of my jokes at seminars. 

But he was proud of all of us – 

the family he loved so much. We 

will always love and remember 

him as we tell ”the Bernie stories” 

and reminisce over our lives 

together. Dear children, I know 

Grampy is telling you not to cry, 

but to live your lives with joy and 

purpose, do good things for others, 

be kind to each other, love 

and respect your Mom and Dad, 

and most of all, never waste a 

minute of life.

After the holidays, as you 

cozy-up to study the catalogs 

that are coming to your home 

now, consider some or all of 

these long-blooming perennials. 

Consider the beautiful purpleblue 

flowers on the clematis vine 

rooguchi. It starts blooming in 

early summer and should bloom 

almost until frost. 

Coreopsis Full Moon, these 

beautiful canary yellow flowers 

will attract butterflies but not 

deer. They will bloom nicely the 

first year and just get better and 

better in the following years. 

Little winecups, Callirrhoe involucrata, 

this plant loves the 

sun and will sprawl across the 

ground or slope with pretty magenta-colored 

flowers with white 

eyes. A beauty that will reseed 

NATURALLY SPEAKING: 

Looking Ahead to January 2011 

but not aggressively. 

Kalimeris, pinnatifida, this is a 

beautiful plant and similar to 

baby’s breath with slightly larger 

white flowers. It is a great filler 

flower in the garden and as a cut 

flower in bouquets too. 

Here are some colorful plants 

that are easy to grow, they also 

reseed and are lovely additions 

for a cottage garden. Love-in-amist,

plant’s best features. 

Borage with edible flue flowers 

and pretty foliage. 

Foxglove comes in many colors 

and it grows 1 to 6 feet tall 

with large bell-shaped flowers. 

Columbine, a pretty flower in 

many colors which blooms in 

the spring. Do not forget the vegetables, 

they can be just as pretty 

and colorful interspaced with all 

the flowers. Grow lima and pole 

beans for instance on supports in 

the back of the garden for a nice 

privacy screen and a tasty side 

dish. 

Remember to cut and use 

those branches of your Christmas 

tree to cover your perennials, it 

will keep them nicely protected 

until spring. 

Your plants inside need some 

attention too. Over the last 

Naturally Speaking 

month you may have neglected 

your houseplants a bit. Most still 

do not need any fertilizer but a 

nice warm shower would do 

them good. If they are small 

enough, cover the soil with a 

plastic bag and put them under a 

gentle warm shower for a minute 

or so. If they are large you can 

give them a nice sponge bath. 

Wipe each leaf off, top and bottom, 

and check for any insects at 

this time. Spider mites can really 

do a lot of damage to your plants 

before you even notice them. 

Check for yellowing leaves and 

webbing. Blow on the suspected 

area and you can see them moving. 

Increase the humidity 

around your plants to counteract 

the dry heat inside your home. 

Mist daily with water or put a 

cool mist humidifier in the room. 

You can also sit them in a tray 

filled with pebbles and water, the 

pot should never sit directly in 

the water. You can fluff up your 

plant’s soil and add a top dressing 

of fresh potting soil. In a 

month or so they will begin their 

new growing season. 

In January, after the hustle and 

bustle of the last couple of 

months try and get outside and 

take a nice long walk in the 

woods. You can really appreciate 

the structure of the trees with all 

of the foliage gone. That cool, 

clear and fresh air will feel real 

good. 

Hope you have a happy holiday 

and a natural new year.

Shipley-Wilson reminds customers 

that a snowstorm can be 

just around the corner. “Across 

the nation, post offices are 

preparing for the holiday rush 

with packages, cards and letters 

mailed this season. But as we 

begin the winter months, Mother 

Nature might decide that this is 

her year,” said Wilson. 

How can you help us? Include 

your mailbox in your snow removal

is vital that postal customers 

keep sidewalks and access to the 

mailbox clear for letter carriers 

to perform their services safely.

IS A SNOWSTORM ON THE WAY? 

St. James PO Asks Customers to Remove 

Snow, Ice for Letter Carriers 

Letter carriers cannot make 

door or curb deliveries when the 

approach to the mailbox is hazardous 

because of snow or ice. 

Carriers are not allowed to attempt 

door delivery when there 

is a heavy buildup of snow and 

ice on sidewalks, steps or 

porches. They are not allowed to 

dismount for curb line boxes 

blocked by snow and ice 

buildup. Snow must be cleared 

to the curb line for at least six (6) 

feet on both sides of the mailbox 

so the carrier may approach and 

leave without backing up. Customers 

should be aware that 

there is always the possibility of 

lawsuits by any individual, including 

letter carriers, who injure 

themselves on unclear paths.

L E G A L - E A S E 

Do You Need a Trust? 

by Joseph A. Bollhofer, Esq. 

What do you do when you 

want to leave money or other 

property to someone, but you are 

concerned that he or she might 

not be capable of managing it? 

The answer is: create a trust. 

How about when you want to 

make sure your spouse will be 

taken care of, but also want to 

provide for your children or 

grandchildren after your spouse’s 

death. A trust is the answer here 

too. Provide for someone who is 

receiving government benefits? 

Plan for your own long term 

health care? Reduce your capital 

gains or your taxable estate? You 

got it; a trust is often the best 

answer. 

A trust is simply an arrangement 

where someone (a 

“trustee”) manages property of 

any kind for the benefit of another 

(a “beneficiary”). There are 

many different types of trusts. 

They can be complex or rather 

simple. They can be in Wills or 

stand on their own. They can be 

revocable or irrevocable. 

There are many reasons to create 

trusts, in addition to protecting 

beneficiaries from their own 

foolishness, spendthrift ways, 

creditors or estranged spouses. 

Trusts are often created for tax 

reasons, financial reasons, charitable 

reasons and to maintain 

control. Eligibility to receive or 

continue receiving Medicaid and 

other governmental benefits are 

also primary reasons to create a 

trust. 

Part of the beauty of a trust is 

that you can set it up virtually 

however you want to, as long as 

it is legal. The specific desires of 

a trust creator, and the needs of 

the creator and proposed beneficiaries, 

must be taken into consideration. 

Often, property put into a trust 

creates income, and that income 

is used for the benefit of certain

After their deaths, the remainder 

(principal and unspent income) 

either is paid to the “remainder 

beneficiaries” or continues to be 

held in trust until they reach a 

certain age or some other event 

occurs, as stated in the trust. 

The trustee’s authority and discretion 

are sometimes carefully 

limited and sometimes not so. 

The creator of a trust can give a 

trustee authority to pay all or p 

art of the property of a trust to 

beneficiaries equally or otherwise.

continued 

income to a beneficiary. Sometimes 

a trustee has authority to 

end the trust before it would otherwise 

end. 

The reason or reasons for creating 

a trust will determine the 

type of trust and the language to 

be included. A trust structure that 

works for one person may have 

adverse unforeseen consequences 

for another. For example, 

transferring property into a 

Medicaid asset protection trust 

might be a good idea for a person 

or married couple who are 

relatively healthy, but not for 

someone, single or married, who 

it appears will need care in a 

skilled nursing facility in the near 

future. Then again, such a trust 

might be just the right option for 

that person. 

Persons in second marriages 

and unmarried persons in long 

term relationships have circumstances 

that call for many questions 

to be asked and scenarios 

to be explored. The length of 

their relationship, their relative 

financial situations, whether they 

keep their assets separate, how 

they feel about their children and 

whether they have a prenuptial

A guardianship proceeding becomes 

necessary if a person is not 

able to manage his or her daily affairs 

such as personal hygiene, diet, 

banking and other financial matters. 

Such a person is not competent 

to initiate a guardianship 

proceeding or to assist in the 

guardianship proceeding. Accordingly, 

a guardianship proceeding 

takes away all of the incompetent 

person’s decision-making powers 

and passes those powers to a person 

chosen by a judge of the New 

York State Supreme Court in a 

guardianship proceeding. That person 

is usually a family member 

who is willing to undertake the 

task. 

The court will first determine 

that the person is, in fact, incompetent, 

and then appoints a 

guardian to manage all of the incapacitated 

person’s affairs, including 

– 88 – 


Guardianship Proceedings 

medical, financial and all daily living 

matters. That person could be a 

spouse, an adult child, or another 

person concerned for the incapacitated 

person. Because the incapacitated 

person is determined to 

be incompetent, he or she has no 

input as to who will be appointed 

by the court as his or her guardian. 

Once the guardian is appointed, he 

or she will have complete control 

over all of the incapacitated person’s 

life, including living arrangements, 

sale of his or her residence, 

management of financial assets, 

arrangements for nursing care and 

all of the incompetent person’s affairs 

of daily living. 

The appointed guardian will be 

obligated to make periodic reports 

to the court regarding all of the incapacitated 

person’s affairs such as 

living arrangements, financial circumstances 

and health care matters. 

In summary, a guardianship 

proceeding is exceedingly time 

consuming, expensive and litigation 

intensive. 

The good news is that a 

guardianship proceeding can be 

avoided if prior to incompetence 

the incapacitated person executes 

a power of attorney and a health 

care proxy. In that case, the person 

that the incapacitated person appointed 

as his or her donee of the 

power of attorney and donee of the 

health care proxy can manage all 

of the incapacitated person’s personal, 

financial and health care 

matters without any contact with 

lawyers or the courts.

MONEY MATTERS: 

Ring in Some New Year’s Financial Resolutions 

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

Now that 2011 is almost here, 

you may want to make some 

New Year’s resolutions. Planning 

to volunteer? Go to the gym 

more often? Learn a new language? 

All worthy ambitions, of 

course, but this year, why not 

add some financial resolutions as 

well? 

Which resolutions should you 

make? Here are a few ideas to 

consider: 

• Look for opportunities. 

With the uncertainties in the 

economy and the volatility of the 

financial markets, many people 

decide to head to the investment 

“sidelines” for a while. Yet, this 

environment may actually be a 

good one for investors with patience, 

discipline and the ability 

to look beyond yesterday's headlines. 

For one thing, many quality 

securities are now good 

values. Also, we’re still seeing 

low inflation and low interest 

rates – factors that may lead to 

greater economic demand and 

improved strength in the financial 

markets. 

“silver lining” in that many people, 

concerned about overspending, 

have shed some of 

their debt load. The less money 

you have to spend on your debts, 

the more you’ll have available to 

invest for your future, so do what 

you can to cut down on what 

you owe. 

• Boost your 

retirement accounts. 

No matter how old you’ll be in 

2011, one thing is certain – 

you’re a year closer to retirement 

than you were in 2010. And 

that’s why you’ll want to increase 

your contributions to your retirement 

accounts. If your salary is 

going up in 2011, boost the 

amount you defer for your 401(k) 

or other employer-sponsored retirement 

plan, such as a 403(b) 

plan (if you work for a school or 

other tax-exempt organization) 

or a 457(b) plan (if you work for 

a state or local government). 

With tax-deductible contributions, 

tax-deferred growth of 

earnings and several investment 

options, these types of plans are 

tremendous ways to save for retirement. 

And try to “max out” 

your traditional or Roth IRA, too. 

• don’t over-react to 

market swings. 

Over the past few years, we’ve 

seen plenty of sudden, sharp 

swings in the financial markets, 

and you’re likely going to see 

more of them in 2011. Don’t 

over-react to either the “ups” or 

the “downs” of the market. Overreacting 

leads to short-term 

thinking – and successful investors 

are the ones who can 

maintain a long-term perspective. 

• Rebalance when necessary. 

At least once a year, review 

and rebalance your portfolio, as 

necessary, to make sure it still reflects 

your goals, risk tolerance 

and family situation, all of which 

can change over time. 

• Reduce your debts. 

While the sluggish economy of 

the past couple of years has obviously 

been a cause of concern 

for everyone, we have seen one 

• Maintain adequate 

cash levels. 

As an investor, you’ve got at 

least two good reasons for maintaining 

enough cash in your portfolio. 

First, having adequate cash 

available means you’ll be ready 

to act quickly to take advantage 

of good investment opportunities. 

And second, by having a 

cash cushion, you won’t be 

forced to liquidate long-term investments 

to pay for short-term 

needs such as a major car repair, 

a new furnace, a big doctor’s 

bill, and so on. 

By following these suggestions, 

you can position yourself 

to make progress toward your 

long-term goals in 2011 – and in 

all the New Years that follow.

When married couples have 

young children, often one spouse 

stays home while the other 

works outside the home. While 

most parents understand the necessity 

of purchasing a life insurance 

policy on the income 

earner, few realize the importance 

of also insuring the stay-athome 

spouse. 

Being Prepared for 

the unexpected 

What if the stay-at-home 

spouse suddenly became ill, disabled 

or died? The family would 

be devastated. Friends and family 

members would initially pitch in 

to help. But, eventually they 

would return to their regular 

lives. Before the surviving spouse 

returned to work, a caretaker for 

– 92 – 


Protecting the Stay-at-Home Spouse 

the children and home would 

need to be hired, presenting a 

potential financial hardship. But, 

had life insurance been purchased 

on the stay-at-home parent, 

the family’s needs would 

have been protected. 

Measuring the value of the 

Stay-at-Home Spouse 

Despite the importance of the 

stay-at-home parent, there’s little 

research to quantify its value. In 

its May 8, 2008, Mom Salary Survey, 

Salary.com reported the 10 

most popular functions performed 

by mothers equates to 

$116,805 per year vs. a working 

mother’s salary of $68,405. It further 

states the stay-at-home 

spouse works a 94-hour week, 

serving as housekeeper, teacher, 

cook, psychologist, and van 

driver – in short, functioning as a 

CEO at home. 

Flexible, Customizable Choices 

The type of policy you select 

depends on your needs and 

budget. Term life insurance provides 

affordable coverage for 

several years. In contrast permanent 

life insurance provides protection 

for your entire life 

(provided premiums are paid) 

and accumulates cash value taxdeferred. 

This cash value can be 

accessed (unpaid loans accrue 

interest and reduce policy’s cash 

value and death benefit). Plus, 

riders, available with term and 

permanent life insurance, enable 

you to customize your policy to 

meet and grow with your changing 

needs. 

The loss of a parent is hard 

enough on a family; purchasing 

insurance coverage for a stay-at-

adequate life insurance coverage 

on you and your spouse. Life 

is… being protected with life insurance. 

Whether you are the main 

breadwinner or not, the American 

Life Insurance Council states 

you should have five to seven 

years worth of your salary in coverage. 

Others increase it to 10 

years. 

According to LIMRA, 68 million 

adult Americans have no life 

insurance. With so many Americans 

leaving their loved ones financially 

vulnerable, the Life 

and Health Insurance Foundation 

for Education (LIFE) asks the 

public to take stock of their life 

insurance needs. 

The best way to determine 

your needs is to begin with calculating 

what long-term expenses 

you have that your loved 

ones would be responsible for if 

you were not around. Those expenses 

could include a mortgage, 

college tuition and 

everyday items such as food and 

clothing. 

The type of policy you choose 

is an important decision. Term 

coverage can be very affordable 

initially, but premiums may increase 

over the life of the policy. 

Permanent policies usually have 

higher premiums but tend to stay 

level. How long you need the 

policy is also important to consider. 

A qualified life insurance professional 

can assist you in your 

calculations and show you policies 

that may fit your needs. Life 

is ever changing. Protecting your 

family from financial struggles 

after you are gone is what life insurance 

is all about.

Chiropractic 

for Kids 

by Dr. Linda M. Bocchichio 

Chiropractic care for children 

is substantially different than chiropractic 

care for adults. Adjustments 

are much softer and 

gentler because the child’s joints 

are looser and easier to move. 

Children also generally heal 

much more quickly than adults, 

so they typically require only a 

few treatments to restore normal 

joint motion and thus restore 

normal function to their nervous 

systems and related end organs. 

Since chiropractors improve 

nervous system health by removing 

irritation stemming from 

structural elements of the body, 

they can heal children with a 

wide range of conditions. So, 

have you taken your children to 

your chiropractor yet? 

How does chiropractic care 

work? 

The answer is actually simple 

when you understand a little 

about the body. When a joint in 

the spine or cranium doesn’t 

move properly (a condition 

called subluxation), it has the 

potential to irritate the nervous 

system. And it’s the nervous system 

that runs the body, carrying 

instructions from the brain to distant 

body parts. If that communication 

system becomes disrupted, 

the affected body parts 

may not function properly. Chiropractic 

care removes the 

source of irritation, allowing the 

body to heal and operate properly. 

In general, the chiropractic adjustment 

is a very safe procedure 

for children. With millions of 


Peace! 

Warmest 

holiday Wishes

You’ve made 

my years

a pure 

pleasure!

continued 

children visiting a chiropractor 

every year, adverse events (the 

technical term for injury) are 

very rare. A study published in 

2008 in the prestigious medical 

journal Pediatrics found only 

nine incidents of adverse events 

related to spinal adjustment in 

children worldwide over the past 

100 years, an enviable safety 

record. All doctors understand 

that any form of health care 

comes with some degree of risk, 

whether we’re talking about a 

Chiropractic for Kids 

dose of antibiotics or a chiropractic 

adjustment. As with any 

procedure, your chiropractor 

should discuss the benefits and 

the risks of the adjustment as it 

applies to your child before initiating 

treatment. 

Chiropractors help children 

heal and attain true health by releasing 

joints that aren’t moving 

properly or to their fullest capacity. 

This restores natural nervous 

system function, correcting 

symptoms at the root of the 

problem and optimizing the 

child’s overall health and inherent 

healing abilities. If your children 

aren’t already receiving 

chiropractic care, talk to you 

doctor about getting them into 

the office for an initial visit.

Santa’s Christmas Wish 

by David F. McKell 

ho! ho! ho! and a big hello! 

I’ve just finished loading up my sleigh, 

I hope that all is well, with all of you, 

And you’re “all set” for Christmas Day! 

Meanwhile the elves have been working real hard, 

Supplying all the requests for toys... 

And all the other things asked for, 

That were sent here by girls and boys. 

I hope it will snow on Christmas Eve, 

Which will make all the landscape white! 

rudolph would be happy with that too, 

Because his nose will be our guiding light! 

And, oh by the way folks, if you do get a chance, 

Before you turn in for your “holiday sleep”, 

Please leave out some cookies, chocolate chip preferred, 

And you’ll be having my blessings, real deep! 

But now I must pause to check on some details. 

To make sure that we all have good cheer! 

So please excuse me for a moment and let me wish you, 

A Merry Christmas and a happy New year ! 

His Wonders 

by John Taratunio, Fairfield Condos 

We marvel at the wonders 

The Lord performs on Earth 

Such as the mountains, the oceans 

And the miracle of birth. 

he sends us the sun 

To brighten our lives 

And makes the ground fertile 

So our seed can thrive. 

It’s he who stocks the fish 

In all our seas 

And it’s he who hangs the fruit 

on all our trees. 

Wherever you look 

The Lord has left his mark 

As when he saved all the animals 

With a cruise on Noah’s Ark. 

yes we marvel at all his miracles 

That never cease to be 

And the miracle I marvel at most 

Is the life he gave to me. 

Christmas 2010 

by Edward Gaskell, VFW Post 395 

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, 

Except when my fighting soldier isn’t near. 

So I’ll put all my wishes in a letter, 

And when he gets them he will feel much better. 

So will I. 

on my Christmas tree I’ll hang a silver star, 

It will stand for all who fight for us afar, 

I’ll wonder how they fare at any time, 

And say a prayer for all each night at nine. 

I will try.

The Department of Motor Vehicles 

warns drivers not to park in 

spaces designated for people with 

disabilities during the holiday season 

or at any other time. 

As we enter the holiday shopping 

season and parking lots become 

jammed with cars, some 

drivers may be tempted to park in 

spaces designated for people who 

are disabled. They should remember 

that handicapped spots are for 

people with designated plates or 

permits that indicate that they are 

disabled. Not parking in these 

spots isn’t just a courtesy, it’s the 

law.

We Care Program 

The month of November saw the largest activity in the We Care 

Program since its start, including a large amount of mail in addition 

to packages. This is not unexpected, considering the approach of 

the holiday season. 

We ask that everyone include a note in your package, asking that 

if a soldier is not getting any mail, that the name and address be 

sent to the VFW Post so that no one goes empty-handed at mail 

call. 

The time for mailing holiday cards is NOW! Do not delay! A card 

or a letter goes a long way to boosting morale. Even if the card arrives 

late. And remember to say a prayer for our troops.

in these spots can result in serious

their access to shops, denying

save you money also by not incurring

born in Hungary on March

After graduation, Mr. Petervary 

began his career in real

estate, building single family 

homes on Long Island. His final project on the Island 

was the development of Deepwells Estates, a conclave 

of exclusive homes in Head of the Harbor. Along with 

that project he dedicated six acres of property on 

which the Head of the Harbor Village Hall currently 

stands. 

Mr. Petervary was involved in Hungarian economics 

and politics and wrote numerous articles in both 

Hungarian and English, one of which was entitled 

“Corporate Democracy.” He owned the Hungarian 

newspaper, Magyar Szo, in New York City for which 

he contributed weekly articles, and he published a 

Hungarian book about the political and economic 

contributions of the Hungarian people in western society. 

Mr. Petervary was a dedicated citizen who 

helped many organizations and charities.

Nicolette Petervary and Beatrix Petervary, his son Miklos
