by Elizabeth Isabelle 

Wondering where you stand in 

today’s real estate market? For 

many of us, stepping into the 

process of buying or selling a 

home, commercial property or 

looking for a rental property can 

be a daunting, emotional journey. 

The purchase or sale of real 

estate is one of life’s major financial 

investments, be it for business 

needs or finding a place to 

call home. The experienced team 

of professionals at American Real 

Estate Associates, located in the 

heart of St. James, are proud of 

their commitment and uncompromised 

service for the past 25 

years, in helping their clients real 

estate dreams become a reality. 

The office of American Real Estate 

Associates offers their clients 

assistance in sales, purchases, 

rental properties, development, 

building and management services. 

Comparative Market Analysis 

(CMA), is an essential component 

of the real estate process. It 

is used to determine the value of 

a property through comparison 

to similar property transactions 

located within a specific radius. 

A CMA accurately establishes a 

sales price and also guides buyers 

on making a fair and reasonable 

offer. The agents at 

American Real Estate Associates 

are both well versed in today’s 

current market conditions and 

have a broad knowledge of the 

area in which a property is listed, 

giving their clients a distinct advantage. 

Taking into account remodeling, 

updates and interior 

and exterior conditions of the 

property, the agents at American 

Real Estate Associates help their 

clients with the critical step of 

proper pricing, crucial to helping 

you receive the maximum return 

on your real estate investment. 

Financing, another critical 

component of your real estate 

transaction process, is an area in 

which the agents at American 

Real Estate Associates excel. The 

current market for financing a 

property can be extremely challenging. 

Having access to a real 

estate agent with connections to 

reliable lenders is an invaluable 

asset. The professional staff at 

American Real Estate Associates 

has an established, proven track 

record of assisting their clients in 

making connections with the 

right lender at competitive rates. 

For the buyer, it is not only important, 

but essential to be preapproved 

for a mortgage in 

advance of beginning the offering 

process in earnest. Pre-approval 

means you have been 

fully screened by the lender and 

approved for a loan. The vast 

majority of sellers will go with a 

buyer that has taken this step, as 

there will be less risk that the 

transaction will fall through, alleviating 

precious time and holding 

up the sale of the property. 

For the buyer, your agent is critical 

when it comes to negotiating 

OUR TOWN • MAY 2011 

a property and presenting an 

offer. The home buying process 

can be long and involved, but 

with the proper resources, it can 

be exciting and fun. 

The staff at American Real Estate 

Associates offers the individualized, 

professional service that 

you deserve. Using the highest 

standards in marketing your 

property or finding you the investment 

of your lifetime, the 

agents at American Real Estate 

Associates are committed to 

serving you with honesty and integrity. 

Check out their website at 

www.realestate-longisland.com 

or give the office a call at 631- 

862-6605. American Real Estate 

Associates wishes their friends 

and family in St. James a healthy, 

happy and safe Memorial Day 

Weekend!

St. James Fire Department at 31¢ Scoop Night 

St. James firefighters teamed up 

with Baskin-Robbins at their 5th 

annual 31 Cent Scoop Night in St. 

James on April 27. This year’s 

theme was “Scooping Up Thanks 

for Our Firefighters.” The firefighters 

had a great time, passing out 

fire hats to all the kids, big and 

small, along with pencils, stickers 

and fire safety info. 

The event was a huge success 

and everyone had a great time, 

kids and firefighters alike. 

The St. James firefighters also 

took this opportunity and passed 

out pamphlets about the St. James 

9/11 memorial that’s being built 

on Woodlawn Avenue near the 

fire house. Donations are being 

sought in labor, materials and 

money. For more information and 

to be a part of this project honoring 

all the people who lost their 

lives on 9/11, please call 584-

St. James Elementary PTA 

The St. James community is 

coming together to build a memorial 

garden to honor one of our 

nearest and dearest teachers at St. 

James Elementary, Sara Long 

Harte. Those of you who had the 

honor to know her, realize the impact 

she had on our children and 

community. Sadly, Mrs. Harte lost 

her fight with breast cancer last 

year. She will be missed dearly. 

We are reaching out to the 

community for donations to put in 

a memorial garden in front of her 

school (St. James Elementary). The 

garden will be built by R.J.K. Gardens 

of St. James. 

Mrs. Harte spent so much of her 

off time involved with the Sunrise 

Fund program. Any of the funds 

we receive that are above our goal 

will go directly to the fund she 

held dear.

Memorial Garden In Loving Memory of Sara Long Harte 

A number of seniors at Smithtown 

East were her first students. 

We would like to reach out to 

everyone to join us in our endeavor 

to raise the monies needed 

to put this memorial together. 

On Wednesday, May 18 and 

Monday, May 23, (Superintendent’s 

Days) California Pizza 

Kitchen will donate a portion of 

your meal (just mention “St. James 

Elementary”) to the memorial 

fund. 

An unveiling has been planned 

for June 13, 2011 in front of the 

school. 

Donations can be made to: 

St. James Elementary PTA. 

Please put Sara Long Harte 

Memorial Project in the 

memo and mail to 

St. James Elementary 

580 Lake Avenue 

St. James, NY 11780. 

Sara Long Harte 

Volunteers are also needed – 

please contact Brooke Shatles at

Hannah Gives Locks of Love 

Six-year old Hannah Rathburn, 

of St. James, donated her hair to 

Locks of Love on May 4, 2011. 

She decided at the age of 3, when 

she watched her little friend lose 

her hair to cancer, that she 

wanted to grow it so another little 

girl could have beautful hair. She 

is truly an inspiration to all around 

her. 

Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization 

that provides hairpieces 

to financially disadvantaged 

children in the United 

States and Canada under age 21 

suffering from long-term medical 

hair loss from any diagnosis. 

Locks of Love meets a unique 

need for children by using donated 

hair to create the highest 

quality hair prosthetics. Most of 

the children helped by Locks of 

Love have lost their hair due to a 

medical condition called alopecia 

Hannah is pictured holding her

has been an unqualified success. 

An average of 33 packages

and also by special arrangement 

from groups such as schools, catechism 

classes and scout troops. 

If you know of a soldier who is 

not getting any mail, do a good

make sure that individual doesn’t 

go empty-handed at mail call.

The Story of Christ’s Passion Brought to Life 

in Downtown St. James 

Downtown St. James was alive 

with angry crowds shouting “Crucify 

Him, Crucify Him!” as a 

group of 30 young actors, with 

Pastor Neil Mittelstaedt narrating, 

brought the Biblical account of 

Holy Week to life. The play began 

with a donkey and streets lined 

with crowds waving palms and 

cheering Jesus on as he entered 

Jerusalem. 

The players took 150 worshipers 

on an emotional journey 

as Jesus tossed out the money 

changers in the Temple, prayed in 

the Garden of Gethsemane, was 

arrested, tried before Pilate and 

ultimately was crucified and 

killed. The role of Jesus was 

played by Scott Miceli. The re-enactment 

took place at St. James 

Lutheran Church on Woodlawn 

Avenue. All the actors, youth from 

the congregation, were directed 

by Ms. Jill Spage and Mr. Jason 

Gudzik. This Passion Play is performed 

every year on Good Friday.

FAIRFIELD CIVIC MEETING... 

After the successful Chamber of Commerce Spring 

Egg Hunt at Deepwells volunteers stayed after to help 

unwrap 100 new chairs. The chairs were purchased 

by the Deepwells Farm Historical Society to replace 

the very worn and tired chairs. Now event attendees 

will be treated to comfortable and sturdy new chairs. 

On Monday, May 2, the Fairfield Civic Association of 

St. James was honored to have Superintendent of 

Schools Edward Ehmann as their guest speaker. The 

presentation by Mr. Ehmann was informative and insightful 

with an open dialogue regarding the proposed 

2011-12 budget. Pictured (L-R): Neils Carlin,

y Bradley Harris, 

Smithtown Historian 

Especially for Our Town, I 

am writing a series of articles 

about people who 

made St. James their home 

not so long ago. This article 

takes a look at the role 

baseball played in the summer 

fun that the actors’ 

colony enjoyed in St. James 

at the turn of the 20th century. 

With the return of the actors’ 

colony to St. James each summer, 

it wasn’t long before one could 

hear the familiar cry of “Play 

ball!” The actors’ colony boasted 

of the exploits of its two baseball 

teams known as the “St. James” 

and the “Bohemians.” The antics 

of the actors on their playing field, 

located on the site where the St. 

James Lumber Company now 

stands, opposite the St. James Elementary 

School, were well known 

to the local folk and provided 

many hours of entertainment and 

fun. 

– 34 – 

H I S T O R I C A L L Y S P E A K I N G 

LIVES, LOVES AND LAMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF ST. JAMES: 

Take Me Out to the Ballpark…. 

Willie Collier seems to have 

been the major organizer of the 

actors’ baseball teams. It was said 

that he had the only ball and bat 

in town. Actually the actors 

fielded two complete rosters and 

the “St. James” and “Bohemians” 

would frequently battle it out on 

the baseball diamond on any 

given Sunday afternoon. The “St. 

James” team was captained by 

Willie Collier, and the scrub team, 

the ”Bohemians,” was headed by 

Bert Leslie. Between these teams 

there was “great strife” and the 

Bohemians seem to have usually 

taken a beating since in 1904 it 

was noted in the local papers that 

the Bohemians had won only 

“one game out of thirty.” And apparently 

that game was won when 

Lionel Barrymore “introduced a 

noted Princeton pitcher as a new 

English actor” and had him play 

on the Bohemian squad. 

When things got really serious 

and the “hated rival, Smithtown, 

and other enemies less dear” were 

to be played, the “Bohemians” 

and the “St. James” contributed 

“their best players, and a picked 

company, attired in their distinctive 

costumes” supplied by Willie 

Collier, made ready to do battle 

for the hamlet of St. James. The 

team seems to have been a good 

one and there is frequent mention 

of this squad being a championship 

ball club for all of Long Island. 

The cast of actors on the ball 

team changed annually but in 

1904, the roster of the St. James 

club had the following members: 

“Bob Dailey, captain; Willie Collier, 

pitcher; Ben Wilson, catcher; 

Tom Lewis, first base; Mike Hackert, 

second base; Frank Lawlor, 

shortstop; Teddy Burns, third base; 

Johnny Barton, right field; Teddy 

Burns, third base; Johnny Barton, 

right field; John Collier, left field;

continued 

Charley Mason, center field; and 

Billy Lorraine, Bert Leslie and 

William Kerugood, substitutes.” 

Sometime after this date, an 

actor by the name of Lionel Barrymore 

joined the squad. “Lionel 

was a good third baseman; too 

good not to be fed and housed” 

by Willie Collier. “Not withstanding 

his strength and skill as an athlete, 

Lionel was so lazy that he 

earned the nickname Turn-me- 

‘round Barrymore. Once with a 

runner wide off first base, Lionel 

didn’t throw the ball. Captain Collier 

upbraided him. ‘But I didn’t 

know there was a runner on first 

base,’ said Turn-me-round. Collier 

called the team into a quick huddle. 

‘Listen,’ he said acidly, ‘we 

want no secrets in this ball club. 

The next time there is a runner on 

first base, I want you to tell Lionel.’” 

(Gene Fowler, Good Night, 

Sweet Prince, New York: The 

Viking Press, 1944, p. 112.) 

One can just imagine the fun 

and laughs that these actors had 

on the field as they played a wild 

game of baseball. We are assured 

that there was always “a physician 

in attendance,” and the “ladies… 

organized an ambulance corps” 

to carry off the wounded. Sometimes 

the tension mounted in their 

games and it looked as if the ambulance 

corps might be needed. 

“The St. James team played 

against the nine of the Kings Park 

Insane Asylum each year and then 

put on a theatrical entertainment 

for the inmates. During one of 

these games Collier pitched what 

he believed to be a strike. The umpire 

called it a ball. Collier began 

to argue with the umpire, a dignified 

but firmly resolved arbiter. 

The superintendent of the asylum 

interceded to admonish the angry 

Collier: ‘I would bow to the umpire’s 

decision if I were you, 

Willie.’ Then he whispered, ‘You 

see, he’s one of our inmates.’” 

(Gene Fowler, Good Night, Sweet 

Prince, op. cit., p. 112.) 

With a baseball game to look 

forward to and enjoy, on every 

Sunday afternoon, the days would 

pass quickly for the actors in St. 

James. In the evenings, one could 

find them back in their clubhouse 

enjoying a beer and reminiscing 

about the ball game and the heroes 

of the day.

Trutner and Sutherland Co-Author Anti-Bullying Book 

Pat Trutner of St. James, and Dee Dee Sutherland 

formerly of St. James, now of Hawthorn Woods, Illinois, 

are excited to announce that they have co-authored 

a book called “There’s Always A Bully.” 

“We have seen what bullying can do to a child’s development 

and self-esteem,” Pat said. “When our children 

were younger, we were at a loss as to what to tell 

them, and there weren’t many resources for them. Bullying 

has gotten so out of hand, and it often starts at a 

young age and then progresses. Now schools are really 

stepping in and trying to stop the bullies with consequences 

for their actions as well as offering 

anti-bully programs. I hope our book and presentation 

will be a part of their anti-bully programs.” 

The authors wanted to write a children’s fictional 

story which elementary school age children could relate 

to. This way, when kids read the book, they can 

relate to what is happening and see how the characters 

in the book are dealing with bullies. Children 

need to feel empowered when faced with this situation. 

Pat and Dee Dee have taken a unique approach to 

this topic. Besides empowering the victims of bullies, 

bullies need to know that they can change and be a 

kind person. If they change, other children could be

Pat Trutner with their new book. 

willing to let them be their friend because often times 

young children forgive and forget easily. The authors

HINTS, TIPS & GREAT IDEAS FOR KEEPING YOUR PROPERTY BEAUTIFUL 

LET THIS BE THE YEAR YOUR LAWN 

GETS OFF TO A GREAT START! 

Depending on the age of your lawn, your soil, and how much shade 

you have, there’s a good chance you need more than just fertilizer and 

weed control to have any chance to grow a great lawn! it’s not rocket 

science but it is horticultural science! 

Spring is a great time to improve your lawn. All lawns should get lime 

on a regular basis. Just like in a vegetable garden, to get the best tomatoes 

and cucumbers you must improve the soil... the same goes for your 

lawn. lime increases the soil ph by sweetening the soil. This improves 

the soil structure and increases grass vigor and health. Core aeration is 

also beneficial to lawn health. Punching your lawn full of holes is one of 

the very best ways to improve your lawn. Regular aeration delivers multiple 

benefits, including: 1) relieving soil compaction, improving air, water 

and fertilizer penetration; 2) encouraging root growth for deeper and 

healthier roots; 3) breaking up and speeding up the decay of choking 

thatch. it’s good to schedule core aeration 

once a year – especially if your lawn has a heavy thatch layer (over onehalf 

inch) or if your soil is heavy or compacted. You will see a dramatic 

improvement in thickness, heat and drought tolerance, and in the color 

of your lawn. Slice seeding or feed the birds! When your lawn really 

needs to be reseeded, slice seeding is usually the answer. These machines 

actually slice through the thatch layer getting “good Seed to Soil” 

contact. Rather than spreading seed over the thatch layer, where it may 

not even sprout, or exposed to the elements or “hungry critters”, slice 

seeding provides superior germination rates and quicker lawn establishment. 

The timing of this service is very important. if you would like to see 

“Before and After”pictures or need more information, please go to our 

website or call us anytime! 

MAY –TO DO LIST 

• Time to Mow – Cut High Water Deep! Trim high. 

• let tulip and daffodil foliage dieback. The plant needs this foliage to 

build up energy for next year’s blooms. Wait 4-5 weeks, then shriveled 

up leaves will detach easily. 

• Don’t rush the vegetables and impatiens! Soil temps are still cold. Wait 

till later in May or even June! 

• Cut High – the higher the cut (best 3”) the deeper the roots, the stronger 

the grass plant! 

• Spring Fever can give you a RASH! Leaves of Three, Beware of Me! 

Tecnu is a gardener’s friend. Email me and i will tell you where you can 

buy it.

y Natalie 

Weinstein, 

Allied ASID 

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? Obviously, 

if you were “mostly clutter 

free,” it 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 and understand why it’s 

so important – even if you’re not 

into Feng Shui (A Chinese technique 

that addresses our surroundings 

and how it can affect 

us). 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 

– 56 – 

H O M E & G A R D E N 

DESIGN IDEAS: 

When Unexpected Guests Are Coming 

if you 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. 

• There are 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 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. 

• 10 minutes to vacuum or dry 

mop. 

• 5 minutes to clean off kitchen 

counter surfaces. 

• 5 minutes to top dust in main 

areas. 

• 5 minutes to check the powder 

room for fresh towels, bathroom 

spray, and to clean the 

sink and bowl. 

• 5 minutes to empty all waste 

baskets and garbage pails and 

take them to an outside pail. 

• 5 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. 

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 weekly or pick some 

from your own garden. Email 

info@natalieweinstein.com to let 

me know what you do when you 

are expecting company.

Pets For Adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter 

Dakota 

Dakota is a four-year-old 

neutered male Alaskan Malamute/Collie 

mix, gray and white 

in color. He was adopted by his 

owners from another shelter by a 

young adult in the household. 

However, the rest of the family 

wasn’t as thrilled. Mom said “… 

he required too much attention” 

and Dad had a allergies, so 

Dakota was surrendered to our 

shelter in December 2009. He’s a 

handsome, pleasant dog, a little 

strong but behaves 

when being 

walked on leash. 

“Dakota” needs to 

be the only dog in 

the household 

and if in a home 

with children, 

over the age of 12. 

Please have 

your pets spayed/ 

neutered and vaccinated.

Little Shelter Needs Your Help 

Life begins so sweet 

and innocently. It is 

meant to be a time of 

growth, exploration, and 

learning about the world 

around you. Unfortunately 

for six baby kittens, 

their life was almost 

over shortly after it had 

begun. On a trip to the 

dumpster to empty his 

trash, a man heard a 

noise coming out of the 

pile of garbage that 

should not have been 

there. Unable to ignore the cry, he 

began digging through the grime 

and sludge of the dumpster to find 

the source of the little voices. 

Eventually he located them – they 

weren’t frolicking in the trash 

looking for food – they were huddled 

inside a wet box – their little 

bodies cold, hungry and crying 

for their mother who was 

nowhere in sight. It seems that 

some heartless person had put 

them there, and if not for the kind 

gentleman whose persistence 

saved their lives, they surely 

would have died. 

Upon arrival at Little Shelter, 

these lucky little babies underwent 

a thorough medical examination 

and found that not only 

were they starving, they were also 

covered in lice and extremely dehydrated. 

Treatment began, which 

included fluids, a bath and of 

course some good old nourishment! 

But the care didn’t stop 

there! At just a couple of weeks 

old, these kittens were unable to 

eat on their own, and with no 

momma, they would require bottle 

feeding every 3-4 hours. One 

look into their little faces and Little 

Shelter’s vet tech, Maryanne, 

knew what she had to do – she 

opened her heart and her home 

and committed to sleepless nights, 

to ensure these sextuplets would 

receive everything they needed to 

grow into bouncing, playful kitties. 

Now at 4-weeks-old, the babies 

are flourishing under the care 

of Maryanne and her husband 

Tom. They are gaining weight, getting 

regular baths, and most of all, 

getting all the love and TLC that 

they need! 

Unfortunately this is just the beginning 

of kitten season and stories 

like this will become all too 

common as the months go by. As 

always, Little Shelter will 

do their utmost to help as 

many as they can, but 

they need your help! 

They desperately need 

people who can open up 

their home and dedicate 

the time to become a surrogate 

parent to kittens 

that would otherwise 

have nowhere to go! 

Imagine the reward of 

seeing a neglected and 

abandoned baby flourish 

under your care, and 

then go on to be adopted into a 

loving home! The joy of knowing 

that you played a part in saving a 

life is something that can’t be described 

– it can only be experienced! 

If you think you have what it 

takes to be a foster family, please 

call Little Shelter’s Cattery today at 

368-8770 x215 and ask for 

Raeanne. 

And of course if you are unable 

to foster, you can still help! The 

cost of medical treatment, formula, 

bottles and everything 

needed to provide for these babies 

is quite extensive. Please 

make a generous donation today 

and help ensure that Little Shelter 

has all that they need to take care 

of them. Send your check or 

money order to: Little Shelter Animal 

Rescue & Adoption Center, 

Att: Dumpster Kittens, 33 Warner

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. 

Headaches 

(part II of III) 

MigRAiNE HEADACHES 

each year, about 25 million 

people in the u.S. experience 

migraine headaches, and about 

75% are women. Migraines are 

intense and throbbing 

headaches that are often associated 

with nausea and sensitivity 

to light or noise. they can 

last from as little as a few hours 

to as long as a few days. Many 

of those who suffer from migraines 

experience visual symptoms 

called an “aura” just prior 

to an attack that is often described 

as seeing flashing lights 

or that everything takes on a 

dream-like appearance. 

Migraine sufferers usually 

have their first attack before age 

30 and they tend to run in families, 

supporting the notion that 

there is a genetic component to 

them. Some people have attacks 

several times a month; 

others have less than one a 

year. Most people find that migraine 

attacks occur less frequently 

and become less severe 

as they get older. 

Migraine headaches are 

caused by a constriction of the 

blood vessels in the brain, followed 

by a dilation of blood vessels. 

during the constriction of 

the blood vessels there is a decrease 

in blood flow, which is 

what leads to the visual symptoms 

that many people experience. 

even in people who don’t 

experience the classic migraine 

aura, most of them can tell that 

an attack is immanent. once the 

blood vessels dilate, there is a 

rapid increase in blood pressure 

inside the head. It is this increased 

pressure that leads to 

the pounding headache. each 

time the heart beats it sends another 

shock wave through the 

carotid arteries in the neck up 

into the brain. 

there are many theories 

about why the blood vessels 

constrict in the first place, but no 

one knows for sure. What we do 

know is that there are a number 

of things that can trigger migraines, 

such as lack of sleep, 

stress, flickering lights, strong 

odors, changing weather 

patterns and several foods; 

especially foods that are high in 

an amino acid called 

‘tyramine.’you can reduce the 

likelihood of migraine 

headaches by making some 

lifestyle changes. 

CluSTER HEADACHES 

cluster headaches are typically 

very short in duration, excruciating 

headaches, usually 

felt on one side of the head behind 

the eyes. cluster 

headaches affect about 1 million 

people in the united States and, 

unlike migraines, are much 

more common in men. this is 

the only type of headache that 

tends to occur at night. the reason 

that they are called ‘cluster’ 

headaches is that they tend to 

occur one to four times per day 

over a period of several days. 

After one cluster of headaches 

is over, it may be months or 

even years, before they occur 

again. Like migraines, cluster 

headaches are likely to be related 

to a dilation of the blood 

vessels in the brain, causing a 

localized increase in pressure.

F I N A N C I A L S A V V Y 

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

Many people depend on certificates 

of deposit (CDs) to provide 

extra income. Yet CD rates 

have been fairly low for a while. 

In recent months, in fact, oneyear 

CDs were paying about 

0.5%, two-year CDs topped out 

at around 1%, and five-year CDs 

paid in the 2% to 2.3% range. 

Those rates are scanty enough, 

but they can seem even lower in 

an economic environment 

marked by rising food and gas 

prices. 

Before you consider alternatives, 

keep in mind that CDs still 

offer a key advantage: safety of 

principal. The Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation (FDIC) typically 

insures CDs up to 

$250,000. And since CDs are 

relatively short-term in nature, 

MONEY MATTERS: 

Investing Beyond Short-term CDs 

you don’t have to worry about 

locking away that money for 

long periods of time. So there 

can be a place for CDs in the 

fixed-income portion of your 

portfolio. 

However, during times such as 

these, you might consider looking 

at additional options, keeping 

in mind that, when seeking 

greater income, you’ll likely be 

taking on more risk. Let’s consider 

a few alternatives: 

• Fixed Annuities 

Many people buy fixed annuities 

to supplement their retirement 

income. But most annuities 

also allow you to take up to 10% 

of your account value each year 

without penalty. Plus, the interest 

rate you receive on a fixed annuity 

may be more competitive 

than that currently paid by a CD. 

Keep in mind, though, that annuities 

are not backed by FDIC insurance, 

and any guarantees are 

backed solely by the paying ability 

of the insurance company. 

Additionally, early or excessive 

withdrawals may be subject to 

penalties. If you believe a fixed 

annuity might be appropriate for 

your situation, speak with your 

financial advisor. 



– 67 – 


continued 

• Bond Ladders 

If appropriate for your situation, 

you can potentially gain 

extra income through a strategy 

known as a bond “ladder.” To 

build a ladder, you buy several 

bonds with varying maturities – 

short-, intermediate- and longterm. 

Once you’ve constructed 

your ladder, you could gain 

some advantage in various interest 

rate environments. When 

market rates are low, you’ll still 

have your longer-term bonds 

earning higher interest rates. And 

when market rates rise, you can 

reinvest your maturing short-term 

bonds at the higher rates. But if 

you need income in addition to 

your regular interest payments, 

you can get it from the maturing 

bonds. Unlike CDs, however, 

bonds are not covered by FDIC 

insurance and are subject to 

credit risks. Bonds are also subject 

to interest rate risk: When interest 

rates rise, bond prices 

generally fall, and you may lose 

some or all of your principal if 

you sell your bond prior to maturity. 

But by holding your bonds 

until maturity, you can avoid loss 

of principal, assuming the issuer 

doesn’t default. 

• Dividend-paying Stocks 

Some companies have paid – 

and increased – their stock dividends 

for many years now. If you 

don’t need the dividends to 

boost your cash flow, you can 

reinvest them to help boost your 

ownership stake. However, companies 

can reduce or discontinue 

their dividends at any time, and 

since stock prices fluctuate, you 

risk losing some or all of your 

principal. 

By exploring alternatives to 

short-term CDs, you may find 

other appropriate investments 

that may better position you to 

reach your financial goals – so 

look around to see what’s available 

in the financial marketplace.

You can’t watch television or read a newspaper 

without being reminded of the uncertain 

times we’re in. Disappearing jobs, disturbing 

stock market losses – we don’t need to tell 

you, it’s rough out there. 

This has made retirement planning more 

complicated than ever. From October 2007 to 

last December, the market lost nearly $3 trillion 

in retirement savings. 1 Many who were 

counting on their 401(k)s don’t even read their 

account statements anymore. 

The Truth About Social Security 

But other factors have muddied the waters 

for mapping a course toward retirement. People 

are living longer. An American born in 

1955 was expected to live to age 69, on average. 

Forty years later, life expectancy was 76. 2 

This is good news; but, we need to prepare for 

more years of retirement.

And, if you thought Social Security 

would take care of you, 

think again. Last year, the maximum 

monthly benefit was 

$2,1853 – not enough for many 

of you to live comfortably. 

While there are no easy solutions, 

the purchase of a life insurance 

policy can guarantee 4 the 

protection of your loved ones 

and additionally supplement 

your retirement savings, 5 if the 

death benefit is no longer 

needed. 

Leaving a Legacy 

Life insurance’s primary purpose 

is to provide guaranteed 

death benefit protection, which 

can provide a tax-free legacy to 

your loved ones. But, permanent 

life also carries many living benefits. 

Cash value is money that 

accumulates within the policy, 

tax deferred. This means you do 

not pay taxes on any of the accumulation 

within the policy. In 

addition, you can access that 

money tax free though policy 

loans. 5,6 These same funds can 

also be used for college expenses, 

as collateral for a small 

business loan, or any other happily 

anticipated or unexpected 

event. 

In addition to the death benefit 

protection provided by life insurance, 

it can also be used to supplement 

your retirement income. 

As such, it can be a vital piece of 

the complex puzzle of retirement 

planning.

You’ve bought that shiny new 

motorcycle, taken a safety course 

and are ready to hit the open 

road. But what else can you do 

to help protect yourself? Wear 

the right gear – an approved helmet, 

face or eye protection and 

protective clothing. 

Helmet 

Accidents can happen to anyone. 

According to the Motorcycle 

Safety Foundation 

(MSF-USA), one of every five 

motorcycle accidents results in 

head or neck injuries. These injuries 

can be reduced by wearing 

an approved helmet. 

There are two primary types of 

helmets – three-quarters and full 

face. They provide different levels 

of coverage. To make sure 

you get the most protection from 

your helmet, make sure it meets

H I G H W A Y S A F E T Y 

Motorcycles – Riding With the Right Gear 

U.S. Department of Transportation 

and state standards, that it 

fits snugly all the way around 

and that it has no obvious defects 

such as cracks, loose 

padding or frayed straps. Whatever 

type of helmet you chose, 

be sure to keep it fastened securely 

while riding or it may fly 

off your head in an accident. 

Eye and face protection 

Wind, dust, dirt, rain, insects 

and debris thrown up by other 

vehicles… you can protect yourself 

from these 

by wearing 

a

Protective clothing 

The right clothing will help 

protect you in an accident, as 

well as providing protection from 

heat, cold, debris and hot and

Jacket and pants should cover 

arms and legs completely and fit 

snugly enough to keep from flapping 

in the wind. Leather is the 

best protection but sturdy synthetic 

materials are a good alternative. 

Boots or shoes should 

cover your ankles. Soles should 

be hard and slip-resistant; tuck 

laces in so they don’t get caught 

on your motorcycle. Gloves will 

give you a better grip and help 

protect your hands in an accident. 

Wear the appropriate clothing 

for the weather you’ll be experiencing.

L E G A L - E A S E 

by Joseph A. Bollhofer, Esq. 

Buying a house is never an easy 

thing. Buying your first house can 

be especially trying. First, of 

course, you must determine your 

price range and approximately 

how much of a mortgage you can 

afford. Having a “pre-qualification” 

letter from a lender will help 

to show that you are a serious 

buyer. However, it is no guarantee 

that you will obtain the mortgage 

commitment. 

This is not meant to instruct you 

as to how to obtain a mortgage, or 

how to estimate the size of the 

mortgage for which you might 

qualify. Rather, this will simply be 

an overview of important considerations 

and what you are entitled 

to expect in a typical real estate 

purchase. 

First, KNOW THE MARKET as 

well as anyone. Read real estate 

periodicals, such as newspapers. 

Research your target geographic 

areas on line. Contact multiple 

real estate brokers. Go out on your 

own, on weekends and weekdays. 

Make sure you have a good understanding 

regarding what it might 

take to make a house suitable for 

your purposes. Make sure you investigate 

property taxes (town assessor’s 

office), schools and the 

general neighborhood. If there is 

vacant land nearby, find out who 

owns it and how it is zoned. Consider 

contacting the local building 

and planning departments to find 

out if there are any proposals for 

How to Buy a Home 

construction. 

Once you have made an offer 

that is accepted, a contract will be 

prepared. Before contract signing, 

make sure you have made a thorough 

inspection of the house so 

that any necessary repairs can be 

negotiated. Most buyers do hire an 

expert to do an inspection precontract. 

Make sure you hire a 

lawyer you can rely upon. This is 

no place to skimp. If the purchase 

is new construction, be aware of 

“options” (upgrades) that are not 

included in the base price, and get 

prices before you sign a contract. 

You should expect that, in the 

typical resale, the seller will be responsible 

to make sure that all of 

the mechanical systems and appliances 

will be in working order and 

the roof and basement free of 

leaks at the time of closing. It is 

only in rare instances that the 

seller will be responsible for any 

problems that are discovered after 

closing. 

The typical contract is subject to 

an inspection to determine 

whether there are any wood destroying 

insects or resultant damage. 

The seller usually has the 

option of treating the condition 

and repairing any damage or declining 

to do so and refunding the 

contract deposit. You can expect 

that you will have to pay five to 

ten percent of the purchase price 

upon signing the contract. This deposit 

will be held in escrow by the 

seller’s attorney until the closing. 

The typical time frame from 

contract to closing is approximately 

60 days. During this time, 

a title search will be done to insure 

that the sellers have “clear” 

title and you will usually have 45 

days within which to obtain a 

mortgage commitment. Lenders 

usually attach various conditions 

to the mortgage commitment, and 

it is important that throughout the 

process you cooperate and respond 

timely to all requests that 

the lender makes. If you do not 

obtain a mortgage commitment 

within the time frame allowed by 

the contract, the seller may cancel 

the contract and return your deposit. 

However, if it is shown that 

you did not obtain a commitment 

because of your failure to truthfully 

and diligently cooperate in 

that process, your contract deposit 

could be in jeopardy. 

Some lenders will give you the 

option to “lock in” your interest 

rate. I recommend that you do not 

lock in any interest rate without 

first consulting with your lawyer 

so that you can be assured that the 

closing will take place before the 

lock in period expires. 

Lenders are required to give you 

a “good faith estimate” of your 

closing costs within three business 

days after you apply for the mortgage. 

Often I find that clients who 

simply look for the cheapest deal 

are unpleasantly surprised. My 

best advice is to obtain a referral

or two from someone you trust 

who has had a good experience 

with a lender. 

While the purchaser of a newly 

constructed home is entitled to 

certain minimal warranties under 

New York law, no such law exists 

in New York. New York does have 

a “Property Condition Disclosure 

Act” that applies to sales of used 

homes, but sellers can easily decline 

to provide the disclosure by 

giving a $500. credit to purchasers. 

Since $500. in the 

scheme of things is not a lot of 

money, virtually every seller gives 

a credit rather than the disclosure. 

This means that after closing, the 

seller has no liability for any problem 

that is discovered unless a 

buyer can prove that the seller 

fraudulently concealed the problem. 

At the closing, the deed is exchanged 

for the purchase price 

and the buyer reimburses the 

seller for any fuel oil, pre-paid 

property taxes, common charges 

and any other minor applicable 

adjustments. Occasionally, the 

seller will not be able to move out 

before the closing, and the contract 

typically provides for the 

seller to stay in the house for a few 

days after closing under a written 

agreement where money is held in 

escrow to make sure that everything 

is okay after the seller finally 

moves out. 

Although a house purchase is 

always a significant change in 

someone’s life, knowing what to 

expect goes a long way in making 

the process run smoothly. 

While this summary addresses 

the main concerns involved in 

purchasing a home, each purchase 

varies. Therefore, it is 

strongly recommended that you 

obtain the advice of an attorney 

before signing any document.

Long Term Care Insurance for the Elderly 

by John L. Belford, Jr., Esq. 

Long-term care insurance is designed 

to pay expenses incurred 

for the care of elderly persons 

who need assistance with daily 

activities such as meals, daily hygiene 

and proper control of intake 

of medications. Long-term care 

insurance pays for said costs if the 

elderly person is living at home, 

in an assisted living facility and/or 

a nursing home. 

The purpose of purchasing 

long-term care insurance is usually 

two-fold. First, the long-term 

care policy will insure that the 

elderly person will not be denied 

long-term care services for financial 

reasons because the insurance 

policy will pay for the 

services or a substantial share of 

the services. The second purpose 

is to avoid the need to use all of 

the elder’s assets to pay for longterm 

care such that the elder can 

leave his or her hard-earned assets 

to a spouse and/or his or her children. 

There are various types of longterm 

care services for which insurance 

is available as are described 

below: 

• Adult Day Care at a local facility 

for persons living at home 

who would otherwise be unsupervised 

at home during the day 

at which social and recreational 

services are provided; 

• Assisted Living Facility which 

provides assistance to persons 

who are unable to perform some 

activities of daily living or have 

some cognitive impairment but 

do not need full nursing home 

care; 

• Home Health Care which typically 

provides skilled nursing 

care and speech, physical or occupational 

therapy at the elder’s 

home; 

• Hospice Care provides for persons 

who are terminally ill or 

have a life expectancy of six 

months or less; 

• Nursing Home Care provides 

assistance with activities of daily 

living, including assistance with 

bathing, toiletry, dressing and 

eating. 

Long-term care policies are 

available from most of the life insurance 

companies in the state.

Every generation struggles in its 

own way. The baby boomer generation 

has been undergoing a lot 

of pressure and hardships lately. A 

lot of this comes from being in 

what is described as the sandwich 

generation. They are caught between 

caring for their children 

and their elderly parents, while 

maintaining their full-time jobs. 

For the last 5-10 years many have 

been struggling to do so. Now a 

new problem has been brought 

forth. They, themselves are aging. 

While their children are off to college 

or perhaps starting their own 

lives, mom and dad will be planning 

their retirement. However, 

many will not be able to retire for 

another 5-10 years. So they continue 

to work. There is one more 

generation that also needs accounting 

for, that is the parents of 

Caring for One Generation to the Next 

the baby boomers. Since their 

sons/daughters have to continue 

to work, there will have to be 

someone there to care for them. 

Not to mention many which may 

suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease. 

According to the Alzheimer’s 

Association, 5.3 million people 

are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 

disease in the U.S. alone, with a 

new case every 70 seconds. Along 

with the growing number of 

Alzheimer’s patients is the rapidly 

increasing demand for caregivers. 

Caregivers can be identified as 

home care aides who assist the 

elderly, newly rehabilitating, and 

disabled individuals that still reside 

in their own homes. In consideration, 

this will also increase 

the number of job opportunities 

for many who are out of work or 

require a change in careers. This 

type of profession will provide individuals 

with the option for a 

flexible part-time job that is both 

rewarding and fulfilling to their 

lives. 

Various studies have shown that 

those who suffer from Alzheimer’s 

Disease will benefit from an increase 

in both social and physical 

activity if added to their daily their 

routine. So not only will the caregivers 

be responsible for assisting 

with their daily chores such as 

meal preparation and housekeeping 

but should also be increasing 

their stimulation by various appropriate 

social and recreational activities. 

Cases of course vary for 

everyone, sometimes it may only 

be short term care they are looking 

for, like caring for mom/dad 

while on vacation or while attending 

a special family occasion. This 

may be a great relief, in knowing

Many patients find their way to 

the chiropractor’s office because 

they have some back or neck discomfort 

or pain. Sometimes this 

pain flares up suddenly. Other 

times the discomfort is insidious, 

gradually growing over days or 

weeks. 

In many cases patients have 

contributed to their pain by neglecting 

their backs. By lifting improperly, 

sitting for too long 

without regard to posture or simply 

by not getting enough exercise 

can lead to spinal problems. 

While back trouble may have 

many different causes, the most 

effective protection is built into 

your body – the muscles that keep 

you aligned and erect. By resolving 

back pain through quality chiropractic 

care you can put your 

muscles in top condition. By 

Preventative Back Care 

using your back and neck muscles 

intelligently you can, with routine 

chiropractic care, help prevent future 

flareups and “beat” back 

pain. 

Standing: Work on maintaining 

a natural pelvic tilt. Posture: 

head up, back straight and relaxed 

shoulders, even stomach, 

tightened buttock tucked under 

and knees slightly flexed. 

Sitting: Avoid too much of it! 

Avoid low soft chairs! When 

driving, move the car seat forward 

to achieve a natural 

aligned position. 

Bending: Use your knees, 

never bend from the waist. 

Playtime: Strengthen your 

back muscles with bilateral 

sports, like walking, bicycling 

and swimming. 

Relaxing: Give your spine a 

rest! Lie on your back with knees 

flexed higher than your hip. 

Take care of your spine, it’s the 

only one you’ve got.

C E L E B R A T I O N S 

Once Upon A Time.... In St. James 

The following story could 

best be described as a fairy tate 

about a girl named Julie DeSimone 

and a boy named Andrew 

Larsen. Both were born 

and raised in our little hamlet 

of St. James. They first crossed 

paths as six year olds in Mrs. 

Goldberg’s first grade class at 

St. James Elementary School. 

What an exciting year it was 

as the class prepared for their 

first play entitled “The Glum 

Princess!” With proud parents 

beaming, the performance took 

place in the spring of 1987. 

Julie was cast as the Queen and 

Andy as the King. And so began 

the story of a friendship that no 

one could ever guess would 

lead to a true happy ending. 

The middle and high school 

years followed and then off to 

college – Julie to Boston College 

then to the University of 

Pennsylvania School of Dental 

Medicine and a wonderful career 

as an Implant Specialist; 

Andy off to the University of 

Connecticut and then a successful 

career as a golf professional. 

In 2007 the wedding of mutual 

friends would bring Julie 

and Andy together again, and 

as they say, the rest is history! 

In November 2009, Andy 

proposed to Julie by spelling 

out “will you marry me” in 

Christmas lights! And then on 

November 6, 2010 their beautiful 

wedding took place at Sty. 

Philip and James Church, officiated 

by Deacon Martin Mcintosh, 

the groom’s uncle. Andy’s 

best man, Chuck Ruff, has been 

his best friend since the 7th 

grade; and by Julie’s side stood 

her maid of honor and life-long 

friend, Rebecca Mowl, who incidentally 

played the part of 

Julie and Andy’s daughter, the 

Princess, in that first grade play 

so many years 

ago! 

Julie and Andy 

now reside in East 

Northport, but the 

most happy memories 

of family, 

friends and life in 

St. James will be 

with them always!

Andrew Larsen

14th Annual Spring Egg Hunt 

Was A Hopping Success 

The St. James Chamber of Commerce’s 15th annual 

Spring Egg Hunt was EGG-citing with children 

hopping down (splashing down) to Deepwells Farm 

County Park in St. James on Saturday, April 23, 

2011. The weather didn’t cooperate this year, but 

that didn’t stop the over 120 children who turned 

out for this annual event. 1,200 eggs, some with 

special prizes, were scattered inside Deepwells. 

Megan Shutka, while working towards her Girl 

Scout Gold Award, initiated the idea of the Spring 

Egg Hunt for children 1 to 10 years of age. In the 

past she has come back from college and the U.S. 

Navy to officiate over the event each year. This year 

she was unable to attend as she is serving our country. 

However, her Mom, Meg Shutka (Eddie’s Power 

Equipment), stepped in as the Easter Bunny greeting 

all the children with candy and posing for pictures.

A Special Thank You... 

...goes out to Linda Cherney (Capital 

One Bank), chairman of the event; 

Scott Posner (Edward Jones Investments) 

for M.C.ing the event; chamber 

president Larry Glazer (New York 

Life), for getting the word out; and to 

bunny helpers: Denise Davis (Art Pix 

Studio), Ruth Garthe (Our Town), 

William Garthe (Reliance Real Estate 

and Mortgage), Peter Kuhn (St. James 

Lumber), and Catherine Salerno Amicizia, 

(All Island Wide Appraisal Services). 

The eggs were stuffed with goodies 

and some special eggs held grand 

prize slips for an assortment of goodies 

including gift baskets, gift certificates, 

toys and merchandise.

P O E T ’ S C O R N E R 

E Pluribus Unun – (Out of May, One) 

by David F. McKell 

The Terrorist, osama Bin Laden, 

Resided in the town of Abbottabad. 

Which is located in the territory of Pakistan, 

Whose Capital is named lslamabad! 

To me, that always sounded like an omen, 

of bad things about to occur. 

But of course, I’m only an infidel, 

And I’m not even up on “Ben Hur.” 

So it wasn’t a big shock, when the newsman, 

Reporting from Washington, D.C. 

Stated that now, osama Bin Laden, 

Was a big part of history. 

He’d been shot down in a gun fight, 

That occurred on his palatial estate. 

And several other members of his team, 

Were also dispatched to their fate. 

The mission was carried out by our Navy, 

A select group of u.S.N. “seals.” 

All of the action taken was quite professional, 

And in conformity with Christian ideals. 

The report concluded with the statement, 

That the deceased terrorist was buried at sea. 

A noble gesture to him, in my opinion, 

And more generous than he’d be to me! 

But let’s not forget what osama stood for, 

And all his followers who are still there. 

Let’s stay alert to all of the dangers, 

That these fanatics still present everywhere. 

We are the united States, the great land of the free. 

Many men and women have fought and died for our Liberty. 

So let’s all pull together and keep our Country strong, 

And ask God to Bless America, as we sing it in the song! 

An Angel Standing There 

by John Taratunio, Fairfield Condos 

Now and then I hear a voice 

Spoken softly sounding strong 

I have to listen, I have no choice 

Not to do so would be so wrong. 

The words I hear are words of wisdom 

Spoken so to guide my way 

It doesn’t command, it gently implies 

In ways I feel I must obey. 

But as I questioned this solemn voice 

During my daily prayer 

I turned and looked around 

And saw an Angel standing there. 

Friends Are.... 

by Sigmund Weiss 

Friends are like a tenement 

resplendent with life 

where children up and downstairs run 

as neighbors smile 

rays of kindness taken from the sun. 

Where laughter rises unrestrained 

as what is done 

is done without complaint and 

everywhere here and there 

we enjoy our lives 

like vapour rises toward the sun 

embracing each and everyone.

commander, vFW post 395 

When a soldier falls on the field of battle, helping to safeguard our 

freedom and the safety of our country, we should show the respect due 

by flying the flag of our nation at half-staff. 

If you wish to be on an email list to receive a notice to fly the flag at 

half staff, send your name and email address to epgaskel@optonline.net 

Flying the flag at half-staff can be by an individual, a business, school, 

fire station, library, etc... any place with a proper flagpole. 

DiD YOu kNOW…..? 

If you have a flag on a staff that is attached to a building or structure 

at a 45º angle, you can display it at “half-staff” in the following manner: 

attach a long black ribbon to the head of the staff. 

For further information, and to become part of the Flag Alert email 

program call ed Gaskell at 584-5226.

that mom/dad will be safe and accounted 

for. By having both a positive 

and meaningful approach, 

perhaps the baby boomer generation 

will feel more comfortable 

about transitioning themselves to 

their next stage in life. Hopefully 

they will gain this confidence in 

knowing that there are many options 

for the elderly and that there 

will hopefully be a growing number 

of compassionate caregivers 

waiting to help. 


Mercy Kenny, owner of Mercy’s Homemaker

working in the healthcare field for over 

30 years. She has been caring for the elderly 

throughout her career as both a certified 

nursing assistant and as a home 

health aide. Many of which reside in her 

own hometown right here in St. James. 

You can visit her website @ MercysHC-

she has worked with over the years.

The culinary arts sometimes do 

not necessarily come easily for 

men. While guys often look forward 

to grilling season, cooking 

indoors lacks the appeal of an 

open fire and friends and family 

munching on flame-broiled delights. 

But cooking inside can be just 

as fun and rewarding as standing 

over the grill outdoors. Such is 

the case with the following 

recipe for "Pasta With Shrimp 

and Bacon" from Tucker Shaw's 

"Gentlemen, Start Your Ovens" 

(Chronicle Books). 

Pasta With Shrimp and Bacon 

Serves 4 

1 pound medium shrimp, 

uncooked 

1/2 pound slab bacon, diced, or 

4 slices bacon, snipped into 

pieces with scissors 

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 

more for drizzling 

1/2 pound dried linguine or 

spaghetti 

1/4 cup white wine (use a decent 

white, an Italian Pinot 

Grigio, one you will drink 

with dinner) 

2 garlic cloves, smashed 

and diced 

C O O K ’ S C O R N E R 

Guys Can Enjoy Cooking Indoors, Too! 

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 

Salt 

A few red pepper flakes, finely 

crushed (optional) 

A couple handfuls arugula leaves 

(about 2 to 3 ounces), chopped 

Zest and juice of 1 lemon 

Fill your largest pot with water 

and set it on high. Throw in a 

handful of salt, more than you 

think you need. Cover it and 

bring it to a boil. This could take 

20 minutes, so get this going before 

you pour yourself a drink. 

Pour the drink and prepare the 

shrimp: Peel and devein the 

shrimp by slicing straight down 

the back with your paring knife 

and scraping out that black intestine. 

(Note: You don't have to do 

this because it won't kill you to 

eat it, but most people do not 

like the veins.) Set them aside in 

a small bowl with a few cubes of 

ice on top. 

Put the bacon in a large saute 

pan over medium-high heat. 

Drizzle it with a little olive oil 

and saute it until most of the fat 

has rendered and the bacon becomes 

crispy. Remove from the 

heat until your water boils and 

you put your linguine on. 

Once the linguine is cooking 


(it should take about 10 to 12 

minutes, but check the package 

for directions), return the saute 

pan to medium-high heat and 

add the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 

the wine, garlic, and red pepper 

flakes. Add the shrimp in a single 

layer. Saute for 2 minutes, then 

turn the shrimp and saute for 2 

minutes more. Reduce the heat 

to low. Lay the arugula over the 

top of the shrimp. 

Drain the pasta, then add to 

the pan, covering the arugula. 

Mix thoroughly, coating all the 

pasta and adding more olive oil 

if necessary. Add the lemon zest 

and juice and mix. Add the 

Parmesan. Remove from the heat 

and serve immediately, with one 

last drizzle of olive oil (at this 

point, use the good stuff if you 

have it). 

Suggestion: 

If they look good at the store, 

throw in a handful of grape or 

cherry tomatoes alongside the 

shrimp while they're sauteing. 

You could also throw in some 

basil instead of that arugula, or 

maybe some olives that you've 

sliced in half. Maybe some anchovy 

fillets or zucchini shavings.
