9/11 Memorial Fundraising Opportunities 

Dear Friends and Neighbors: 

As many of you know the St. James Fire Department 

is spearheading a town-wide project to build a 

9/11 Memorial to honor and remember all those that 

lost their lives on that tragic day. Our goal is to complete 

the memorial site by the 10th anniversary of 

the 9/11 attacks. 

The 9/11 Memorial will be constructed on the 

property of the St. James Fire District, located at 221 

Jefferson Avenue. The centerpiece of the memorial 

site is a steel column, which was originally located in 

the lobby of One World Trade Center. The steel column 

was donated by the Port Authority of NY & NJ 

and is referred to as the “bowtie section” of the column. 

The steel column came into St. James on Saturday, 

July 17, and is now in place. 

There are many ways in which you can help to 

bring this project to completion – giving eveRYONe 

an opportunity to participate. Your assistance is 

needed to help us with the construction of the memorial. 

THANK YOU! 

Thomas Donohue 

St. James 9/11 Memorial Chairperson

HCDS Festival Raises Over $24,000 

for Stony Brook Long Island Children’s Hospital 

Harbor Country Day School’s 

Strawberry Festival, held on June 

4, 2011, to support Stony Brook 

Long Island Children’s Hospital 

was a phenomenal success. Well 

over 1,000 people attended the 

inaugural event to enjoy both the 

festivities and a spectacular 

spring day. The activities began 

with a VFW Color Guard flag 

ceremony and a greeting from 

Harbor Country Day School’s 

Chair of the Board of Trustees, 

David A. Essex and Stony Brook 

Long Island Children’s Hospital 

Physician-in-Chief, Dr. Margaret 

M. McGovern. 

Sounds of laughter and live 

music filled the air as visitors of 

all ages enjoyed strawberry 

shortcake eating contests, 

bounce houses, pony rides and 

the many food, craft and specialty 

gift vendors 

in attendance. 

Guided 

tours of the historic 

Tulip Knoll 

Mansion, current 

home of Harbor 

Country Day 

School, were 

also available 

throughout the 

day for curious 

visitors and history 

buffs alike. 

The special 

events concluded with an exciting 

strawberry stemming contest, 

a giant game of Simon Says and 

the awarding of several fabulous 

door prizes. By all accounts the 

day was a complete success and 

raised over $24,000 (when figuring 

in a matching grant from an 

anonymous donor) for the Stony 

Brook Long Island Children’s 

Hospital. 

A check was presented to 

Stony Brook Long Island Children’s 

Hospital on Wednesday, 

July 8, 2011 at the school.

y Bradley Harris, 

Smithtown Historian 

Especially for Our Town, I 

have been writing a series 

of short stories about people 

who made St. James 

their home not so long ago. 

This story is based upon 

memories that Marion 

Deutzman had of growing 

up in St. James in the years 

1929-1935. Marion Deutzman 

recorded these memories 

in 1983 after her niece 

suggested she write them 

down so that children 

growing up in St. James 

today might know what life 

was like for kids growing up 

in St. James during the depression. 

Marion Deutzman grew up in 

St. James during the Depression 

years, years when many men 

were unemployed and families 

were struggling to survive and 

make ends meet. But as Marion

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

Growing Up in St. James During the Depression: 

Summertime Adventures 

noted in her memoirs, she did 

not realize that times were hard 

and people were suffering. “We 

all had about the same, and lived 

about the same. There were 

never a lot of toys, and a lot of 

material things – and I think it 

was much better this way. We 

had to use our imagination and, 

of course, there was no television.” 

“In these years,” 1929-1935, 

“parents did not have the time to 

take their children everywhere 

and there were very few organized 

clubs” for kids. “We had to 

amuse ourselves and find our 

own entertainment and fun.” 

“One of the best friends to us 

at that time was the St. James 

Harbor. As soon as we were old 

enough – we made friends with 

this beautiful place. In the summer 

we walked there nearly 

every day. For me this was about 

a two mile walk – but we 

thought nothing of it. We spent 

most of the day there swimming. 

One of the best things that could 

happen to us was to finally be 

able to swim to the float at high 

tide – this was a big wooden 

float with a diving board that the 

Town provided in the summer 

time at Cordwood Path” Beach. 

“On our way home, exhausted 

from the sun and swimming, we 

had to climb up Harbor Hill – all 

along the way there were apple 

trees with delicious summer apples 

– we stopped many times to 

eat the apples and rest.” 

“In the spring on weekends we 

would walk to Eberhardt’s Landing 

(across the water from Cordwood 

Path.) Mr. Eberhardt was

Growing Up in St. James 


an elderly man who owned and rented out row 

boats – he lived in a small boat house right at the 

beach in the summer and spring and caught turtles 

to cook for soup, and fish to fry. He showed the 

boys how to whittle and make duck decoys. As a 

general rule he did not like young children too 

well, probably because they did annoy him and 

tease him. However, when he was in a good mood 

he would rent us (cheap) a boat or sometimes just 

let us have one for a few hours. We all knew how 

to row in those days – there were very few power 

boats. Most of the time he would give us a leaky 

boat and we would have to have one person bail 

the boat continuously – but we did not mind. We 

used to anchor out in the middle of the Harbor and 

relax, sometimes fishing, sometimes just enjoying 

the view and the peace on the water.” 

Marion remembered “one hot day that we were 

able to get a row boat and decided to row over to 

Long Beach – this was a long row for three young 

girls, and it took quite a while. When we got to the 

beach, we went for a swim, and then had to face 

the row back. It was so hot we decided to row 

close to the shore and get some shade from the 

trees that lined the shoreline. This made the trip 

back much longer so along the way we stopped at 

one of the springs to get a drink and cool off. Near 

the spring the shore was covered with green slimy 

moss that stuck to our shoes. When we got back to 

the boat my friend went to step in and she slipped 

on the moss and went down with such force – she 

slid right under the seats and into the water that 

had leaked into the bottom of the boat. It was such 

a funny fall that I, still on shore, laughed uncontrollably. 

This, I know, was not a very nice thing to 

do – my friend was so angry she would not row 

again so I had to row the three of us across the 

Harbor.” 

“We were all very tired this day, had to carry our 

beach things and oars home, and looked exhausted. 

On the way, a Dugan driver saw us and 

felt sorry for us so he stopped to give us a ride – 

this was in the back of a Dugan bakery truck with 

cakes, pies, and bread. There we sat with all the 

bakery goods and our oars – so happy for a ride. I 

can still see this friend who slipped in the boat and 

even after all these years she talks about that and 

she still has not forgiven me for laughing at her.” 

Marion remembered another day “when we 

were out rowing in a boat that seemed to be exceptionally 

leaky, we decided to row from Eberhardt’s 

to the Cordwood Path dock. My friend saw 

a boy who she knew and seemed to have a crush 

on. He was working for the summer at Branglebrink 

Farm and had taken a walk to the Harbor. 

continued on facing page

– 19 – 

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

continued 

He was dressed in a white outfit 

and looked exceptionally handsome 

that day. I asked her if she 

would like to have him go rowing 

with us for a while – so she 

called to him – and he was glad 

to go with us. We were just 

about beyond the float, at low 

tide, when a couple of boards 

just dropped from the bottom of 

the boat – and in a few minutes 

we were up to our waist in 

water. We had to abandon the 

boat and walk in to shore. Anyone 

who has been swimming 

there knows that at low tide this 

is a very muddy, mucky area, 

and that was what we had to 

walk through. By the time we got 

to shore, this fellow’s white outfit 

was mud-black. Sad thing too, 

because that was the last time 

my friend ever saw him – 

Growing Up in St. James 

he wanted no part of her invitations.” 

“In the summer time in the 

evenings everyone used to go 

out for a walk. One time, four of 

us were taking a walk along 

Moriches Road just about behind 

the old school house. One of my 

friends seemed very tired and 

complained that her side was 

aching so we headed for home. 

All of a sudden we heard loud 

sounds behind us and it sounded 

like someone running – we 

turned to see – it was just getting 

dark but what we saw was a big 

bull headed towards us. We ran 

to the big tree right beside us, 

and my tired friend beat all of us 

up the tree and she went to the 

very top! We sat in that tree for 

hours until the bull wandered 

away, and even then we were 

afraid to get down. Finally, made 

it home but ever since that time I 

was afraid to walk in that area. 

Mr. Winthrop Taylor used to keep 

a bull in the run on his farm by 

Lake Avenue and 25A and I can 

remember after that scare I 

wouldn’t even go near there. I 

used to walk the long way 

around to get to Church rather 

than to even pass that bull.”

Smithtown Community Chorus 

FREE Summer Concert Series. The 

community chorus consists of 

local community members sharing 

their talents with the community. 

The choir is in its 15th year 

and its goals are to make wonderful 

music, improve the vocal ability 

of our singers, and to 

encourage camaraderie between 

musicians. All concerts are FREE 

and open to the public. Visit 

www.stacarts.org or call 862-

This summer the chorus will 

feature the beautiful “Requiem” 

by John Leavitt. Inspired by the 

Brahms German Requiem, this 

piece features poetry and words of 

comfort to those in mourning, 

rather than the traditional requiem 

text. It is both beautifully classical, 

and yet also very contemporary.

HINTS, TIPS & GREAT IDEAS FOR KEEPING YOUR PROPERTY BEAUTIFUL 

AVOIdIng SUMMER hEAT 

And dROUghT STRESS dAMAgE 

it's that time of year again. the sun is pounding 

down and there is not a cloud in the sky. your grass 

is begging for a sip of water. you are worried about 

losing your lawn and landscape plants! the good 

news is you can still have a gorgeous lawn and lush 

plants, even as the summer heat pounds down. With 

the right landscaping and water conservation tips, 

you can make it through the summer with your landscaping 

intact. 

the trick is to water wisely to get the most mileage 

from the sprinkling you do. 

apply mulch or compost to improve water and nutrient 

retention. Water deeply when you water. the 

roots of your lawn will grow deeper if you soak the 

soil to a depth of six or more inches. the roots of 

trees and shrubs are far deeper than those of your 

lawn. 

tHree Water rOBBers 

tHat are easy tO Beat 

• Be sure to soak each area thoroughly with each 

watering. 

• Be sure all the water you apply actually gets where 

you want it. 

• apply water when there will be the least amount of 

evaporation. Windy conditions or extremely hot 

weather will vaporize a lot of your watering before it 

can do your plants any good. 

JuLy LaWn & LanDsCaPe tiPs 

• Large brown areas in the lawn are most likely 

drought stress. Check for a sprinkler miss. most 

brown areas will grow back green in 2-3 weeks with 

proper irrigation. 

• Don’t forget your valuable trees and shrubs. During 

extended hot and dry spells give your plants a nice 

long drink! 

• Be on the look out for scale insects on your specimen 

trees. insecticidal soap works well. 

• small brown circles are fungus. fungus treatments 

can be done now to help or you can wait until 

august to reseed damaged areas. 

• ideal time for lawn seeding is in the fall and the 

best window is aug. 15-sept. 15.

H O M E & G A R D E N 

by Natalie 

Weinstein, 

Allied ASID 

If anyone 

had told me 

last year at 

this time that 

I would travel 

half way 

around the 

world, I would have questioned 

their sanity. But just like many 

other things in life, good or bad, 

the unexpected happens. Shortly 

after my husband’s death in October, 

my eldest son, David, announced 

that he was moving to 

Hong Kong. A “techie” and entrepreneur, 

he decided to follow 

a path not everyone would 

choose. Having both my offspring 

in California for years 

seemed far enough, but David’s 

decision brought to mind the age 

old issue of how far away kids 

want to get from their mothers. 

My wonderful son, however, did 

want his mom to visit, of course, 

and so what’s a mother to say 

“yes dear, I’ll be right there!” 

Thanks to Cathay Pacific, the 

almost 17-hour flight was an unexpectedly 

lovely experience 

and David’s smiling face at the 

end of my journey was all I 

DESIGN IDEAS: 

A Week in Hong Kong 

needed to welcome me to Hong 

Kong. HONG KONG – WOW! 

Lots and lots of people – lots of 

traffic – lots of activity – lots of 

business going on – lots of everything! 

We arrived at David’s 

apartment in a suburb of 

Kennedy Town via a super clean 

train system and then taxi (English 

speaking cabbie? – NOT!). I 

was treated to his view from the 

28th floor and it warmed the 

cockles of an old feng shui aficionado’s 

heart – the mountains 

through his living room window 

and the harbor outside the balcony 

of his living room. 

And – oh – how feng shui is 

working in Hong Kong – if no 

empty stores anywhere and two 

or three banks per block is any 

indication. This cosmopolitan 

city, a multicultural metropolis 

with people from Australia, 

India, China, Japan, the United 

Kingdom and the United States is 

electric with energy and activity. 

My too short one-week visit included 

meeting and dining with 

many local Chinese business 

people, as well as professionals 

from Britain and Australia who 

make Hong Kong their home. 

Great food, too, whether at a 

Dim Sum restaurant in an 18- 

story shopping mall, a 150-foot 

long hotel buffet, or a local 5- 

table eatery where everyone 

shares tables with strangers. 

It was all great fun, especially 

Disneyland (the same as America, 

only smaller, and in Chinese 

and English). People smiled and 

talked to one another in many 

languages as we swapped cameras 

to take each other’s picture. 

My new camera now boasts over 

250 pictures of people and 

places I thought I’d never see. 

Many of those were in the district 

where home furnishings are 

sold which, of course, David 

wisely included in our itinerary. 

There were streets and streets 

filled with stores, carrying tile, 

glass, plumbing fixtures, lighting, 

furniture and accessories. I felt 

like a kid in a candy store! It was 

so interesting to see the similarities 

and differences in products 

as well as the huge variety. Because 

of time, I did not visit 

Mainland China where many of 

the factories are located which 

produce these products. Next 

time David plans to take me to 

see the great Buddha, a musical 

in Mandarin and a huge manufacturing 

Expo in the Mainland, 

and… and… and… next time. 


A view of the mountains from David's dining room – 

great Feng Shui. 

A view of the harbor from David's living room balcony 

– great Feng Shui.

P.S. Thought you would like to 

read about feng shui from a local 

Hong Kong newspaper – Here’s 

the headline: 

Hong Kong Government 

Spends Millions 

on Feng Shui 

Hong Kong has admitted to 

spending millions of pounds in 

order to rebalance the feng shui 

of its construction projects. 

City officials have now promised 

to draw up strict guidelines 

on the practice after a campaign 

by the South China Morning Post 

forced them to admit that at least 

£6 million has been spent in 

recent years on compensating 

people living around construction 

projects for disturbing their

feng shui. 

Feng shui, has been used for 

centuries to orientate buildings in 

an auspicious manner, in order 

to help the flow of “qi”, or vital 

energy. Some Hong Kong skyscrapers 

have holes in them to 

allow dragons to fly through. 

Feng shui was banned in 

China during the Cultural Revolution 

in the 1960s but has made 

a dramatic revival in recent 

years, especially in the superstitious 

South. 

In Hong Kong, anyone whose 

property is affected by a public 

construction project is entitled to 

claim compensation from the 

government for the damage to 

their qi. Typically, claimants ask 

the government to pay for a “tun 

fu” cleansing ritual, which involves 

a feng shui master performing 

rites around the site. 

In recent years, rail lines, 

roads, bridges, tunnels and even 

telephone lines have been 

judged to offend feng shui and 

require cleansing. 

Interesting, isn’t it? More on 

Hong Kong feng shui next time 

with some insights about Western 

Civilization’s adaptation.

Time to Think About a Fall Garden 

When you are in the nursery 

and garden center this September 

you can find plants that 

thrive during late summer and 

fall. There is a variety of bedding 

plants and perennials that love 

cool weather, to satisfy the gardener 

that doesn’t want to give 

up the shovel yet. A Clematis 

called Daniel Deronda has 

lovely blue star-shaped blooms 

on a climbing vine. The Echinacea 

Tiki Torch has a pumpkincolored 

flower on a sturdy 

upright stem. Try the Heuchera 

Southern Comfort whose foliage 

goes from a cinnamon-peach 

color to a burnished copper to 

an amber hue in the fall – just 

perfect in the fall garden. The 

Bronze Dutch Clover is a great 

groundcover with dark foliage. 

The reddish-bronze leaves are 

tinged around the edges with a 

minty green, and is a vigorous 

grower. Just beautiful and a 

lovely contrast to your bright orange 

and yellows. Try a Hypericum 

(St. John’s Wort) Mystical 

Orange, a beautiful shrub which 

produces many colorful orange 

fruits. It looks lovely in the garden 

and is wonderful to cut and 

use in your fall flower arrangements. 

So to see lovely fall colors all 

you will need to do is look out 

your window. 

“Happiness is like a butterfly 

which, when pursued, is always

MONEY MATTERS: 

Is Your Portfolio Like a Baseball Team? 

by Scott Posner, 

CFP, CRPC, A.A.M.S. 

If you’re a baseball fan, you’re 

no doubt aware that the MLB 

All-Star Game was played on 

July 12. But while you’ll probably 

appreciate the grace and 

skill of the players, you may not 

realize just how much a baseball 

team can teach you about 

other aspects of life – such as investing. 

Specifically, consider the following 

characteristics: 

• Consistency 

Baseball teams need to be 

consistent. They choose quality 

players and must have the patience 

and discipline to stick 

with those players during 

slumps. As an investor, you 

should choose quality investments 

and have the patience 

and discipline to stick with them 

over the long haul. 

• Diversification 

A baseball team doesn’t have 

just one type of player – it contains 

pitchers, catchers, infielders 

and outfielders. your 

portfolio also needs to be diversified 

because if you own only a 

single type of investment, and a 

market downturn strikes that 

asset class particularly hard, 

your portfolio could take a big 

hit. Owning a diversified mix of 

stocks, bonds, government securities, 

certificates of deposit 

(CDs) and other investments can 

help reduce the effect of market 

volatility on your holdings. Keep 

in mind, though, that diversificontinued

cation, by itself, can’t guarantee 

a profit or protect against loss. 

• Unity 

While a baseball team contains 

a diverse collection of players, 

they all strive toward a 

common goal. And the mix of investments 

in your portfolio needs 

to work together to help achieve 

the various goals you’ve established, 

such as a comfortable retirement, 

college for your 

children and a legacy for your 

family. To work toward your individual 

objectives, you will need 

to create an investment mix that’s 

based on your risk tolerance, 

time horizon, family situation 

and other factors. 

• Flexibility 

While every member of a professional 

baseball team is a good 

player, one might be better than 

another in a given situation. For 

instance, a faster runner might 

pinch-run for someone else. And 

as you move on in your “game” 

of life, you will need flexibility in 

making your investment decisions. 

As one example, when 

you near retirement, you may 

want to reduce your exposure to 

risk somewhat, so you might decide 

to replace some – but certainly 

not all – of your 

growth-oriented vehicles with investments 

that can offer greater 

protection of your principal. 

• Good Management 

Even the best group of baseball 

players needs a manager to

Long-term care issues have 

been everywhere in the news 

lately – from stories of people 

needing these services to how 

the government is responding. 

But there is also a lot of conflicting, 

and even mistaken, information. 

Misconceptions may have 

prevented you from including 

long-term care planning into 

your retirement portfolio. But 

long-term care planning can be a 

critical component to any comprehensive 

retirement plan. So 

now is the time to dispel these 

myths. 

Myth #1: I’ll never need 

long-term care. 

Most people can’t imagine 

themselves needing long-term 

care services. But, the U.S. Department 

of Health and Human 

Services indicates that people 

age 65 face at least a 40% lifetime 

risk of entering a nursing 

home sometime during their lifetime. 

1 Living a long life may increase 

your risk of needing 

long-term care. Isn’t it better to 

insure against what that risk may 

do to your family and your financial 

plans? 

Myth #2: Long-term care 

is only for the elderly. 

Actually, a surprising amount 

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE: 

The Myths About Long Term Care 

of long-term care services are 

provided to younger people. The 

U.S. Government Accountability 

Office estimates that 40% of 13 

million people receiving longterm 

care services are between 

the ages 18 and 64. 2 The unexpected 

need for long-term care 

could arise at any age for any 

number of reasons, including illness 

or an accident. 

Myth #3: I’ll pay for my own 

long-term care. 

In 2007, nursing home costs 

averaged over $76,000 a year 

nationally, but in some regions 

these costs are sometimes twice 

that amount. 3 How long can you 

pay for these expenses without 

jeopardizing your financial plan 

or exhausting your savings? It 

may make good sense to transfer 

this financial risk just like you do 

with your homeowner’s insurance 

or auto insurance. Even if 

you can afford to pay for longterm 

care services out of pocket, 

why would you want to when 

you can transfer the cost to an 

insurer for premiums that may 

total a fraction of the cost of 

care? 

Myth #4: Medicare will cover 

my long-term care expenses. 

Medicare does pay for nursing 

home care, but only for a maximum 

of 100 days and if the 3- 

day qualifying hospital stay 

requirement has been met. In addition, 

Medicare will only pay as 

long as you are showing progress 

towards recovery. Once your 

condition becomes stable, even 

if you are not fully well or back 

to a completely healthy state of 

being, Medicare rules indicate 

that benefits will stop. Also, 

Medicare does not pay for individuals 

to attend an adult day 

care or for the room and board 

expenses at an assisted living facility. 

Myth #5: Medicaid will cover 

my long-term care expenses 

Medicaid was developed partially 

to cover long-term care 

costs for Americans of any age 

who need help paying for those 

services. Medicaid is currently 

the largest payer of long-term 

care costs in the United States, 

primarily for care in nursing 

homes. However, Medicaid

focuses on helping people with 

limited or minimal income and 

assets, and in order to qualify for 

benefits, you have to demonstrate 

a financial need for help. 

Qualifying means spending 

nearly all of your own money on 

your own care before the government 

will step in to help. 

Myth #6: My family will 

take care of me. 

The financial, physical and 

emotional stress that full-time 

care-giving may place on families 

can be overwhelming. Many 

families have struggled to provide 

care for parents or siblings 

only to eventually realize that 

the care required is more than 

they can provide. The truth is, 

sometimes the best way for a 

family to take care of a loved 

one needing long-term care is to 

make sure that they have access 

to professional care. With the advances 

in home care services, 

many people needing long-term 

care are actually able to stay at 

home, with or near families, and 

still get the professional care 

they need. 

Myth #7: Long-term care insurance 

covers only nursing homes. 

Everyone wants to stay at 

home. Long-term care insurance 

can offer valuable benefits that 

may keep you at home for as 

long as possible. Long-term care 

insurance can also help cover 

the cost of care in other locations, 

such as adult day care centers, 

assisted living facilities and 

hospice care. 

With long life comes longterm 

planning. Make a plan for 

you and your family today. For 

more information on long-term 

care insurance, please contact 

your insurance professional.

A child’s inheritance cannot be 

used for the child’s benefit before 

his or her 18th birthday without a 

court order and a child’s inheritance 

must be distributed to the 

child on his or her 18th birthday. 

That’s why many parents establish 

a sprinkling trust in their wills. A 

sprinkling trust avoids the need for 

court orders to use the inheritance 

for a child’s benefit before his or 

her 18th birthday and also avoids 

the distribution of the child’s inheritance 

on his or her 18th birthday 

when he or she may not be 

ready to handle the inheritance 

wisely. A sprinkling trust is established 

in the parents’ wills and it 

provides as follows: 

– 66 – 

L E G A L - E A S E 

What is a Sprinkling Trust? 

Hint: It’s a Good Thing for Kids 

(a) the inheritance for all of the 

children is held in one sprinkling 

trust for the benefit of all 

of them until the youngest 

child reaches the age chosen 

by the parents, usually 22 

years or so, and 

(b) before the trust funds are distributed 

outright to the children, 

the trustee named by 

the parents may distribute the 

trust assets to meet the individual 

needs of each of the 

children such as food, clothing, 

medical and dental 

needs and school and college 

expenses. 

The trustee is not obligated to 

make equal distributions of the 

trust assets before the trust is terminated, 

just as the parents would 

not have equalized expenses for 

each child. The sprinkling trust 

empowers the trustee, who is 

often also the named guardian of 

the children, to make everyday 

decisions in raising the children 

because he or she will also have 

the authority to apply the trust 

funds for the various needs of the 

children in the same way the parents 

would have it they had survived. 

Most sprinkling trusts have two 

dates for distribution. The first distribution 

is usually on the date the 

youngest child attains the age of 

22 years or so. At that time onehalf 

of the trust assets are distributed 

to the children in equal 

shares. After the first distribution 

and before the second distribution 

the trustee would continue to 

have the discretion to use the remaining 

funds for the benefit of

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. 

importance of maintaining mobility 

Maintaining mobility is critical in 

order to live free from pain and disability. 

Maintaining good mobility is 

not difficult, but it does not happen 

on its own. 

Imagine waking up one morning 

with a frozen shoulder where you 

couldn’t move your upper arm 

more than a few inches in any direction. 

How much would that impact 

your ability to do your job? 

How much would that affect your 

ability to drive your car or even to 

dress yourself? How much would 

that affect your ability to concentrate 

on anything other than your 

shoulder? obviously, if your shoulder 

did not move correctly, it would 

have a dramatic impact on your 

life. Well, the same is true with 

movement in every part of your 

body. If things aren’t moving the 

way they are supposed to move, it 

will have a negative impact on your 

ability to function at work, take care 

of the demands of everyday life, 

and even your ability to concentrate. 

Many patients with severe low 

back pain report that their pain 

came on suddenly when they did 

something as simple as bend down 

to pet their cat, put on their socks, 

or pick up the newspaper. Just 

about everyone would agree that a 

person’s body should be able to 

handle such simple movements. 

so what has happened? 

In every one of these cases, the 

joints of the patient’s body were “all 

locked up” – they were barely moving 

at all. When the joints in one 

area of the body do not move the 

way they should, other areas of the 

body are forced to move more in 

order to compensate. this creates 

a significant stress on those areas 

that have to pick up the slack, and 

it soon leads to pain and inflammation. 

At the same time, the areas 

that don’t have normal movement 

will slowly worsen as the muscles 

continue to tighten, the joints stick 

together, and the ligaments and 

tendons shorten. this leaves the 

body in a very unstable condition; 

if left unchecked, this process will 

continue until the body can hardly 

move at all. that is how a person 

comes to suffer flare-ups of pain at 

the slightest provocation. 

Most of us have seen people 

who have lost most of their normal 

mobility: they look like bodies that 

have been starched stiff whenever 

they try to move around. this is especially 

prevalent among the elderly. 

contrary to popular belief, 

however, this is not an inevitable 

effect of aging; rather it is the inevitable 

effect of not maintaining 

the body’s mobility through exercise, 

healthy alignment, and body 

mechanics. there are people in 

their 60s, 70s, or even older, who 

are stronger and more flexible than 

the average person in their 30s, 

simply because they keep themselves 

exercising. 

Maintaining mobility is critical in 

order to live free from pain and 

disability. Maintaining good mobility 

is not difficult, but it does not happen 

on its own. Just as in developing 

a good posture, it is necessary 

that you perform specific exercises 

and stretches to keep your muscles, 

ligaments, and tendons flexible 

and healthy. In addition, it is 

necessary that all of the joints in 

your body are kept moving 

correctly as well. Although stretching 

can help achieve a great deal 

of flexibility, most people also find 

routine chiropractic adjustments to 

be very beneficial in restoring 

normal joint function.

Background 

This month’s article features the 

INFRASPINATUS. This is one of 

the four rotator cuff muscles and 

it is responsible for external or lateral 

rotation of the shoulder, and 

as with most of the rotator cuff, 

stabilization of the humeral head. 

It is so named because it resides 

inferior to the spine of the scapula 

or “chicken bone.” you can probably 

venture a guess that the muscle 

that resides above the spine of 

the scapula is the supraspinatus 

and you would be right. The infraspinatus 

is the second most commonly 

injured muscle in the 

rotator cuff next to the supraspinatus. 

More about that one in the 

coming months. 

WHERE DOES IT HURT? 

Shoulder Pain 

Physiology 

The infraspinatus has an important 

role in sports. It is the dominant 

decelerator of the overhand 

throwing motion. This makes it 

one of the more commonly injured 

muscles in softball, baseball, 

tennis (overhead) and 

volleyball (striking). When the infraspinatus 

is weak, it can also 

lead to other shoulder dysfunction 

including instability. When working 

in balanced synchrony, the rotator 

cuff muscles allow the head 

of the humerus (upper arm bone) 

to glide in its “socket” with no superior 

or inferior translation. If 

there is upwards translation of the 

humeral head, impingement of 

the shoulder takes place. 

When treating patients with 

shoulder dysfunction, one of our 

goals is to improve mobility of the 

humerus and/or stability of the 

scapula. This plan always includes 

therapeutic exercises for the rotator 

cuff musculature with specific 

infraspinatus targeting movements 

for strength. Most of the exercises 

are simple, require no special 

equipment and can be done at 

home with proper instruction. 

Referral Site(s) 

Many muscles have a referral 

pain pattern. This means that 

when the muscle is stressed or injured 

it can cause symptoms to 

manifest in other areas of the 

body. Referred pain patterns from 

infraspinatus trigger points are associated 

with anterior shoulder 

pain, biceps pain, mid-scapular 

pain, and even tingling and 

numbness into the forearm and

continued 

hand. More often than not, the 

numbness and tingling appear in 

the pinky and ring finger or follow 

the ulnar nerve distribution but 

can also affect the entire hand. 

The pain can be sharp, dull, burning, 

aching, tingling and/or numb. 

When to get it checked out 

We typically advise our patients 

to discontinue the aggravating activity 

and ice the area one to two 

times per day for 2-3 days. Then 

revisit the aggravating activity. If 

the pain does not diminish, it 

might be a good time to have it 

checked by a qualified medical 

professional. 

Other signs that there may be 

dysfunction looming in the shoulder 

are clicking sounds with certain 

movements, discomfort while 

laying on that side at night, inability 

to perform certain daily tasks, 

like putting on a jacket or taking 

off one’s shirt. 

In closing, I would like to relay 

one of many patient stories that 

play out like this: Patient “x” has 

been having shoulder pain on and 

off for five plus years. Originally 

the patient noticed that they could 

not bend the arm backwards to 

put on a coat. They worked 

around this movement to avoid 

the pain, never addressing the 

problem originally. After a few 

years of avoiding the irritation, the 

patient began noticing that other 

things started becoming difficult 

like putting on a seatbelt, holding 

a container of orange juice, etc. 

By the time the patient came to 

see us, the condition had progressed 

to a point where conservative 

care was only going to offer 

them a partial and temporary solution. 

We sent them to see an orthopedist 

where they consulted 

for surgery. Moral of the story: If 

you don’t use it, you will definitely 

lose it. Be proactive and 

vigilant with your bodies.

Water is vital to wellness, and 

drinking enough water can even 

help you maintain a healthy 

weight. Water is essential for 

every function of the body. It is 

needed for the digestion of food, 

to convert food to energy and to 

get rid of waste. It even helps 

you look healthy by keeping skin 

hydrated and glowing. Just make 

sure it’s from a pure, clean 

source. 

Bothered by a food craving? 

Try drinking some water instead 

of giving into it. you may just be 

dehydrated. 

Feeling tired and a bit cranky? 

your body may be telling you 

that it is experiencing difficulties 

in functioning without enough 

water. 

Troubled by constipation? Increase

steady basis to help keep you 

more regular. 

Tips for getting 6 to 8 glasses 

or more water a day: 

• Have a glass of water when 

you first get up each day. 

• Try to drink 4 ounces of water 

every hour throughout the day. 

• Prepare for exercise by hydrating 

with water before you 

begin. 

• Sip water while exercising to 

replace what is lost as you perspire 

in order ot keep your energy 

levels high. 

• Add a bit of juice to flavor it 

up or drink mineral water and 

receive the added benefits of 

getting more minerals such as 

calcium.

by Jim Winter 

Summer is here and that means 

it’s time for vacations, cookouts 

and summer road trips. Before 

you jump into the family vehicle, 

have you done everything you 

could to ensure safe travels? If not, 

you may want to think twice 

about driving “Old Faithful” 

across the country or across town 

to a BBQ. 

We all know with summer 

comes extreme heat, which can 

wreak havoc on a car. However, 

there are a few things you can do 

to ensure you keep your car in its 

best operating condition. 

• Get your oil changed. Every 

3,000 miles, or every three to 

six months, is usually the 

amount of time between oil 

changes. (It’s also not a bad 

idea to rotate your tires every 

other oil change to ensure 

It’s Summer… Is Your Car Safe to Drive? 

equal wear.) Oil is critical to 

the function of an engine. Not 

changing the oil can lead to increased 

wear and tear on the 

engine, which could decrease 

performance. An underperforming 

engine can lead to 

many other problems.

It’s Summer… Is Your Car Safe to Drive? 

continued 

• Check all engine fluid levels 

(along with coolant, transmission 

and brake fluids). 

• Have your vehicle inspected. 

Before going on long road 

trips, it is highly suggested you 

have your vehicle inspected by 

a certified mechanic. They will 

be able to diagnose and assess 

any issues your vehicle may 

have. 

• Check your tire pressure (including 

the spare). For the 

most part, vehicles can lose 

about one pound of pressure 

per month. Driving on underinflated 

tires can lead to increased 

gas consumption, and 

more wear and tear on the tires 

among other things. Above all, 

it just isn’t safe. 

Not only do you want to make 

sure your vehicle is mechanically 

sound, but you also want to make 

sure you keep the proper necessities 

available in your car. If you 

were to become stranded somewhere, 

do you have items that 

would make your wait a little less 

painful? Here are just a few items 

you’ll want to make sure you keep 

in your car, not only in the summer 

months, but year round. 

• Flashlight, flares, and a first-aid 

kit 

• Jumper cables 

• A mat or blanket 

• Extra clothes and gloves (you 

never know when you may 

have to go under the hood or 

the car) 

• Paper towels 

• Extra washer fluid 

• Nonperishable food 

• Water 

• Basic tools 1 

Now that you’ve had your car 

inspected and you’ve stocked 

your trunk with the proper necessities, 

you should be ready to go. 

Remember to get plenty of rest before 

you drive long distances. 

Safe, happy travels to you!

...every dog and cat needs someone 

to call their own – someone 

who will lavish them with love 

and attention, someone that will 

ensure they never go hungry and 

always have a soft bed to sleep 

on, and someone who will comfort 

them with a gentle scratch 

under the chin or a belly rub. 

They also need someone that 

they can give their unconditional 

love to – someone they can greet 

with a wagging tail when they 

come home from work, someone 

they can comfort with gentle 

puppy or kitty kisses when 

they’re sad, and someone with 

whom they can be a best friend. 

In a perfect world, every dog 

and cat would have that special 

someone, but it’s not a perfect 

world! Thousands of dogs and 

cats wait in shelters every day... 

they wait for that perfect person... 

their soul mate, to walk 

through the door and take them 

home. 

Read about Buddy Madison 

and Chantilly, two animals waiting 

for a home at Little Shelter. 

Maybe yOU could be their soul 

mate! 

Chantilly 

Chantilly thought she had 

found her soul mate, but it 

wasn’t to be the case. Adopted 

from Little Shelter as a kitten, 

Chantilly was returned years 

later because the family decided 

Everybody Needs Someone... 

they no longer wanted pets. 

They didn’t honor their commitment 

to Chantilly and they left 

her heartbroken. 

This beautiful 9-year-old kitty 

is quite the socialite and a favorite 

amongst the staff and volunteers 

at Little Shelter. She loves 

to be pet, enjoys snacking on 

treats, and relishes the relaxing 

feeling of being brushed. 

Chantilly believes in 

monogamy and dreams of being 

some lucky person’s one and 

only. Could you be that person? 

Adopt or foster Chantilly and 

help mend her broken heart! 

Buddy Madison 

Buddy Madison knows what it 

is like to have a soul mate. 

Adopted from Little Shelter as a 

pup, Buddy was loved beyond 

belief, but when his mom suffered 

a debilitating illness and 

could no longer care for him, 

Buddy unfortunately had to be 

returned to Little 

Shelter. 

While many people think that 

you will only have one soul mate 

during your lifetime, Buddy 

thinks the opposite. He believes 

there is someone special out 

there for him and he has come 

so close to finding them during 

the time he has been back, but 

unfortunately they weren’t the 

one. 

A goofball at heart, Buddy 

greets the people he loves with 

an onslaught of butt wiggles. He 

has recently discovered that he 

likes other dogs, but doesn’t 

share the same love for things 

that go meow. 

Show Buddy Madison that 

love can be just as great the second 

time around and give this 

wonderful boy an adoptive or 

foster home! 

Little Shelter has hundreds of 

animals like Buddy Madison and 

Chantilly that are waiting for 

their special someone. Don’t 

make them wait any longer!

Mommy and Daddy’s 10 year anniversary. 

We are so very blessed 

to have you in our lives. love

New Arrivals 

With joyous hearts, Mr. and 

Mrs. Richard D. Weisse, Jr. of St. 

James, announce the birth of their 

daughter, Avery Elizabeth Weisse. 

Avery made her debut on Monday, 

April 25, 2011 at St. Catherine 

of Siena Medical Center in 

Smithtown. At her 10:10 p.m. 

birth, Avery weighed 6 pounds, 

15 ounces and measured 20 

inches long. After the rendering of 

the traditional New Baby Lullaby 

(a special part of St. Catherine’s 

welcome to “new ones”) signaled 

by her new daddy – Richard – and 

played for all in the hospital’s 

waiting area, Avery was greeted 

by her impatiently-waiting relatives: 

paternal grandparents, 

“Nana” Theresa and “Grandpa” 

Richard D. Weisse, Sr.; her maternal 

grandparents “Gram” Elizabeth

Maher. Additionally, Avery’s paternal 

Aunt Tricia Weisse, her paternal 

grand uncle Robert Boutin, 

her maternal aunt Danielle and 

Uncle Kenneth J. Maher, Jr., 

“Aunt” Lee and “Uncle” Fred 

Orth, and “Uncle” Drew Bohm all 

of whom are from St. James, just 

like Avery! Although not at the 

hospital, but welcoming Avery, 

are her maternal great grandparents 

Florence and James Maher of 


In naming Avery, Kerry and 

Richie used the initial “A” of 

Mommy’s late sister, Aelysche. 

They chose this way to memorialize 

and remember Avery’s late 

maternal Aunt Aelysche who is 

surely watching over her namesake 

from Heaven. 

Wanting to continue a Maher 

and Weisse family tradition, Kerry 

and Richie accompanied Avery on 

her first car ride to home swaddled 

in the her Daddy’s ‘coming 

Avery Elizabeth Weisse 

home’ baby blanket (worn by 

Richie on his ride home to St. 

James from Syosset Hospital), 

while Avery was clothed in the 

hand-made sweater set worn by 

her Gram when coming home to 

America from Ireland and, subsequently, 

worn by her Mommy 

coming home to St. James from 

Smithtown General Hospital following 

Kerry’s birth. 

With their hearts filled to overflowing 

with love for this new little 

girl in their lives, Kerry and 

Richie are already grateful to SO 

MANy people for their many expressions 

of love and welcome for 

Avery including but, not limited 

to, the large sign announcing 

Avery’s birth at the main house of 

the St. James Fire Department on 

Route 25A. 

We are truly blessed to have this 

Angel in our life! 

Congratulations, best wishes 

and a warm welcome to little 

Avery from your family, friends 

and neighbors in St. James.

The Declaration of 

Independence 

by David F. McKell 

Two hundred and thirty five years ago 

In the “City of Brotherly love”, 

Our national founders all came together, 

As decreed by the good lord above! 

They were all from different backgrounds, 

But their common purpose broke down this fence, 

Whether rich or poor, privileged or common, 

Their hope and desire was for independence. 

They struggled quite hard that hot summer 

To create a mutual meeting ground. 

Which has proven to be right up to this day, 

The best blueprint of good government ever found! 

It’s called the “Declaration of Independence”, 

Which we celebrate on July 4th each year. 

And it spelled out a “Master Plan” of freedom, 

For all people both worldwide and here. 

It states that “all men are created equal” 

And their elected officials must have their consent, 

To enact any laws in their community, 

Or the people will vote for a new government. 

Thomas Jefferson was the author of this document, 

Which was written after the Revolution began. 

With the British Army, known as the “Red Coats” 

And the Americans, seeking independence, 

known as the “Minute Men”. 

The Americans fought the British with great valor, 

By using unorthodox methods of war. 

In reality, they fought like guerillas, 

Which increased their power, (i.e., one=four). 

As the battles proceeded towards victory, 

The Congress declared independence from the 

Crown. 

There were fifty six signers of the Declaration, 

Who unified to put King george III down. 

These timeless words about equality and government, 

Continue to inspire other countries to see the same. 

And as thankful Americans we should always revere, 

The sacrifice and dedication of these men of fame! 

Three Fishermen 

a Painting 

by Sigmund Weiss 

Three fishermen sit in a boat, midstream, 

lines dangling in water and wind. 

Three fishermen talk, drink cans of beer 

while fishing-lines play hide and seek, 

and fishes sleep, perhaps in thought 

of a pleasant touch of sun, 

where high above clouds tiptoe, 

catch this day as dream, 

and in-between a bevy of birds 

alight upon the waves, stay immobile 

as if in painting done. 

Three boisterous men talk and drink, 

laugh with their hearts’ content. 

Three fishing-lines glisten, sway, 

idle, gay in this light of day.

History 

by John Taratunio 

Fairfield Condos 

One if by land 

Two if by sea 

Was a simple formula 

For liberty. 

That simple code 

Was no mystery 

But it played an important part 

In American history. 

At that time our forefathers 

Fought our very first war 

So America would be free 

Forever more. 

From that our country 

grew and grew 

Into the greatest force 

The world ever knew. 

But with all the wars 

That were fought before 

It’s inevitable there 

Will always be more.

A Thousand Angels 

by Georgia Delphine Koumas 

longtime family friend 

A Thousand Angels 

Came down from heaven, 

On that fateful day, 

Of 9/11... 

They came down in a flash, and 

Held out their hands, 

To welcome our beloved home, 

All pain and fear, quickly gone! 

A Thousand Angels, 

Came down from Heaven... 

On that fateful day, 

Of 9/11... 

We are left on this planet, 

To continue His plan. 

But without our beloved, 

Yet in spirit, they still stand. 

Our hearts are connected – 

Brothers, Sisters, Mothers, Fathers, 

Aunts, Uncles, and grandparents alike – 

Until that time comes... 

When there’s no more pain, nor strife – 

A Thousand Angels – 

In a circle they wainted – 

To help our beloved family – 

Re-turn back to their home!
