New Yorker’s are passionate
about their pizza. The balance of
ingredients must be just so, the
crust should be perfectly done,
the sauce seasoned to perfection
and the cheese melted to heavenly strands of joy! Rocco’s
Pizza and Pasta of St. James has
been keeping their loyal customers happy for years and has
recently completed a beautiful
top to bottom renovation, complete with outdoor tables for
your dining pleasure! Owners
and St. James residents Jerry DiGiovanna and Jessica Diffendale
are thrilled with the positive and
wonderful feedback from the
community on Rocco’s Pizza
and Pasta’s new look.
Rocco’s Pizza and Pasta offers
the irresistible flavors of Italian
cuisine – using only the finest
and freshest ingredients. From
their unique and distinctive pizzas to traditional home cooked
pastas, soups, salads, chicken,
veal and seafood dishes, Rocco’s
Pizza and Pasta strives to make
each meal a memorable one.
Who could resist a slice of
Rocco’s famous baby eggplant
pizza? Baby eggplant has a very
thin skin and a sweet delicate
flavor. It is sautéed with extra virgin olive oil, fresh tomato sauce,
basil, garlic and light mozzarella
cheese. Head pizza makers Paul
and Carlos, with over 30 years
experience, take pride in consistently crafting the highest standards of the art of pizza making
with each and every pie that
comes out of their ovens. The
pizza crust at Rocco’s is flavorful
and crispy and quite frankly, incredible! When I asked Paul to
share the success of his crust his
answer was simple – each and
every pie is sprinkled with love!
Paul and Carlo’s passion for
pizza has kept the counter of
Rocco’s hopping – no stale or
overcooked pizza here, just fresh
and delicious slices of heaven.
Back in the kitchen, chefs Giovanni and Raymond prepare
fresh soups from scratch, rotating
a selection of Pasta Fagioli,
Minestrone, Tortellini in Brodo,
Lentil, Stracciatella and a special
soup of the day. The veal dishes
at Rocco’s are tender and light –
be sure to try the Veal alla Sorrentino, sauteed with eggplant
and wine and topped with pro-
sciutto and mozzarella. Chicken
shines in one of the best Piccata
recipes in town, delicate and flavorful. Communion and graduation
season is here, why not let
Rocco’s cater your next party? Be
sure to check out Rocco’s lunch
specials, available 7 days a
week, between 10:30 a.m. and
3:30 p.m. A terrific value – you
receive a choice of any two
items from heros, soup or salads
(Rocco’s has the best Caesar
salad around!) and includes a
free soda. Rocco’s has added
Italian ices to the menu and offers zeppoles on Friday and Saturday. Gluten free pizza and
pasta is always available as well
as whole wheat pizza. Watch for
additional gluten free dinner selections coming soon.
Rocco’s Pizza and Pasta now
delivers and accepts credit cards.
Be sure to like them on facebook
and call for daily specials. Jerry
and Jessica and the entire staff at
Rocco’s Pizza and Pasta are
proud to sponsor a number of
community organizations and
sports teams here in St. James
and thank their loyal customers
for their continued patronage. Rocco’s Pizza and Pasta wish
their friends and neighbors in St.
James a beautiful spring and a
happy and safe summer. –5–

Fab Four Garden Tour
On-Site Artists and Musicians
The North Suffolk Garden
Club is gearing up for their faB
four gardEn tour on Friday, June 21, 2013 where four
homeowners have graciously
opened their gardens for this fabulous tour. The “Fab Four” gardens have been chosen for their
diversity and curb appeal. each
garden will feature live music
and a known local artist at work.
The artists’ works will be available for sale at the evening
Cocktail Party which will be held
at a member’s home in Nissequogue.
Visitors will experience the
beauty of an estate rose garden,
a perennial garden, a pondscape
and a backyard retreat. NSGC
hosts will be present at each garden to welcome the arrival of
guests who are encouraged to
enjoy the ambiance created from
the beauty of the garden, the opportunity to see an artist at work
and the pleasure of listening to
live music.
Participating artists are Nancy
Bueti-Randall, Doug Reina, Mary
Jan van Zeijts, Kelynn Z. Adler
and photographer Daphne
Youree, all well-known for the
exceptional artistry of their work.
“This event is a fabulous collaboration and we expect that it will
be an event to remember,” said
President Marilyn Light. “To
broaden the opportunity for pur-
chasing the art for people not attending the cocktail party, we
will welcome visitors to our
website where the paintings and
photos can be viewed,” Mrs.
Light added.
What could be a better backdrop to take in the visual beauty
of the Fab Four Gardens than
softly played music by professional musicians. Garden Club
member Deanna Muro, Director
of Music at St. Joseph’s Church in
Kings Park, an organist and pianist who has performed internationally, is one of the featured
musicians along with harpist
Stephanie Salvatore. Mary Latini
is a pianist who plays at private
parties and events throughout
Long Island; and Georgia Schmitt
is a chamber music specialist
who is also a director of the
Siena Summer Music Program.
Mrs. Light said, “We are very
happy to be able to showcase
these artists and musicians at the
gardens. It adds such a unique
element to the Tour.”
The tour will depart from
Deepwells parking lot in St.
James, via trolley promptly at 1
p.m. Reservations are limited
due to trolley capacity.
Tickets, at $75 for the tour;
$75 for the cocktail party; or

party are now available. To make

Dispose of Your Unwanted Medications Properly
Suffolk County Legislator Lynne C. Nowick, of St.
James, encourages residents to clean out their medicine cabinets. Most residents possess prescription or
over the counter medications to treat illnesses or
health issues; and expired or unused products can
harm the environment and contaminate public
drinking water supplies when flushed down the toilet or disposed of improperly. In addition to environmental concerns, abuse of prescription drugs is
rapidly increasing. By disposing of unnecessary
medications in a family’s medicine cabinet, the risk
of someone else taking these pills can be avoided.
In 2008, Suffolk County established the Suffolk
County Pharmaceutical Disposal Program, known as
operation Medicine Cabinet, which allows residents
to deposit unused or expired medications, including
controlled substances, in a secure receptacle located
in the lobby of Suffolk County Police Precincts. The
Fourth Police Precinct, which is closest for Smithtown residents, is equipped to collect and properly
dispose of unwanted medications and is open 24
hours a day/seven days a week. It is located at 727
Veterans Memorial Highway in Hauppauge. Medications should be placed in a plastic bag.
Last year Suffolk Leg. Lynne C. Nowick worked
with the Town of Smithtown to implement a medica-

tion take back program for the residents of Smithtown at the Smithtown Public Safety Office on
Maple Avenue. Residents may dispose of their unwanted medications during regular business hours at
the Public Safety Office.

Local Chiropractors are the First Sports Diplomates
on Long Island
Dr. Hope Miller and Dr. Marc
Taczanowski, of St. James, have
just completed their research
projects and fulfilled their requirements to become the first
Diplomates in Sports Medicine
on Long Island. They recently
traveled to Colorado Springs to
present their respective case
studies in the sub-specialty of
Sports Medicine.
Dr. Hope and Dr. Marc began
their practice – True Sport Care –
in St. James in 2004. Their new
expanded facility is now located
at 62 Lake Avenue South, Suite C
in Nesconset. They specialize in
peak performance and injury
management for all ages.
The DACBSP (Diplomate
American Chiropractic Board of
Sports Physicians) certification
requires the doctor to first
achieve CCSP (Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician) certification. The CCSP requires the
doctor to attend a minimum of
100 hours of a 120 hour postgraduate CCSP program. The
doctor must take and successfully pass a comprehensive written examination to receive the
CCSP certification.
Once CCSP status has been
achieved, the doctor may work
toward DACBSP certification. To
do so, the doctor must attend an
additional minimum of 200 class
hours. Doctors wishing to
achieve DACBSP status then
have four basic components they
must successfully complete
within three years of completion
of the DACBSP Program. The
four components are a written
examination, a practical exami-
nation, a practical experience requirement and research project. To give someone a better appreciation for the type of study
this would encompass, the curriculum guidelines include but
are not limited to: exercise Physiology, Rehabilitation of Athletes,
Biomechanics, Diagnostic Imaging, Functional Taping and Bracing, Sport Psychology, Advanced
Soft Tissue Techniques, emergency Procedures – Advanced
Concussion Management, Spinal
Trauma, Sideline Injury Assessment and Management.
In the US and Canada combined, approximately 200 chiropractors total achieve this level
of proficiency in the field of
Sports Medicine. Out of the
60,000 chiropractors practicing continued on page 108

Kyle Bollhofer Inducted as Eagle Scout
On March 15, 2013 Kyle A.
Bollhofer was awarded Boy
Scouting’s highest rank of eagle
Scout at a ceremony with Troop
7 of St. James. Less than 4% of
all Scouts achieve the eagle rank.
In addition to earning at least
21 merit badges, performing
many hours of community service and showing leadership over
his scouting career, Kyle was required to plan, lead and complete a community service
project and raise the money for
it. At the request of the Smithtown Historical Society, he chose
to replace the picket fence along
Middle Country Road in front of
the Society’s Franklin Arthur
Farm.
With the help of fellow scouts,
family and friends, Kyle raised almost $1,000 by redeeming and
recycling almost 20,000 bottles
and cans. He then oversaw the
removal of the 190-foot long old
fence and the painting, construction and installation of the new
fence and gate. The fence pickets
were custom made in an assembly line fashion involving 15
scouts and adults in one day.
A recent tally has determined
that more than 100 million hours
of service have been spent performing all of the eagle Scout
service projects in the U.S. during the past 100 years, likely
making these projects the single
greatest youth service initiative
in history, and one that has Above,

Right: Kyle with
Scoutmaster
Thomas Stumpf.
touched every community in America in an important way. Kyle
proudly joins his brother
Joe and father in the
rank of eagle Scout. Kyle will be graduating from Ward Melville
High School in June and
attending Lehigh University. He lives in Head of
the Harbor with his sister Aly, brother Joe and
parents, Kelly and Joe.

LIVES, LOVES, AND LAMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF ST. JAMES
Snowman, the Cinderella Horse of Hollandia Farms
by Bradley Harris,
Smithtown Historian
recently I was asked by the
folks living in the fairfield condominium complex if I would
write about the people that
used to live along Moriches
road where the condominiums are now to be found.
that led me back to the incredible story of Snowman, an
old pennsylvania plow horse
that a man named Harry de
leyer transformed into a national jumping champion. this
is a story I wrote for the
Smithtown News back in July
of 2008 and I am reprinting it
in Our Town because it is such
a great story that it deserves to
be retold. It is also a story that
begins in a farmhouse on the
west side of Moriches road
very near the fairfield condominiums. the information contained in this article comes
from books and articles published about Snowman, and
from a personal interview I
had with Johanna de leyer,
ST. JAMES
who I am sad to say passed
away last year.
The story of Snowman begins
long ago in 1956, the year Harry
de Leyer was just beginning to
establish his own stable for
horses in St. James. In 1955,
Harry and his pretty young wife
Johanna purchased a “chicken
farm” on Moriches Road in St.
James. The de Leyers bought a
farmhouse, along with a chicken
house that stood behind it, on
one and a half acres of land.
(The farmhouse is still standing
on the west side of Moriches
Road opposite the building that
houses Sports Authority and Staples. The chicken house that
used to stand behind the farmhouse burned down some years
ago.) Harry needed a house for
his rapidly growing family, and
he needed a barn where he
could stable a string of horses
that he had been using to teach
riding to the girls at Knox School.
The de Leyers purchased the
house, moved in, and with the continued on facing page
Snowman in his stall in the converted chicken coop at Hollandia
Farms. Snowman was pampered; he
even had carpeting in his stall.

Johanna de Leyer.

help of some friends, converted
the chicken house into a stable
with 13 “straight stalls” for
horses. Although the acre and a
half of property did not give
them enough room for a pasture,
they did find space for one small
riding paddock. Since the de
Leyers were recent Dutch immigrants, having come to America
in 1950, they decided to call
their stable Hollandia Farms. “One wintry Monday in February 1956, 28-year-old” Harry de
Leyer “set out from his small riding stable in St. James, Long Island, for the weekly horse
auction in New Holland, Pa.” It
was Harry’s intent to see if he
could purchase horses “to add to
his stable” of horses that he used
to teach riding at Knox School.
Unfortunately, snow squalls and
a flat tire caused him to arrive
late for the auction and he arrived just as the last of the
“‘killers’ – worn-out work horses
that nobody wanted,” were being
loaded into a truck headed for
Milton Potter’s slaughterhouse in
Northport, L.I. “Suddenly Harry
spotted a big gray gelding plodding up the ramp” and his attention was drawn to the horse.
“The horse was chunky, but
lighter than the others, and there
was a spirited pitch to his ears, a
brightness in his eyes” and Harry
swore to Johanna that the horse
actually winked at him. This
prompted Harry to ask that the
horse be brought back off the
truck so that he might see him.
Harry looked the big gray gelding over, noting the “the animal’s
ribs showed, his coat was matted
with dirt and manure,” and
“there were sores on his legs.”
(Philip B. Kunhardt, “The Farm
Horse That Became a Champion,” Reader’s Digest, July
1960, pp. 92-96.) But Harry
liked the size of the big plow
horse, and its gentle disposition,
and decided that he would be a
good horse for novice riders and
S P E A K I N G
some of the heavier girls at the
school. So Harry offered to buy
the horse from the meat dealer
who had paid $60 for the horse
at the auction. Harry said: “I’ll
give you eighty dollars” for the
horse, “ten for profit and ten for
delivering him to my Hollandia V

When the horse was delivered
to Hollandia Farms the next day,
it was snowing. Johanna and the
three kids, Joseph, Harriet and
Martin, watched as their new
horse was unloaded from the
truck. The big gray horse was so
happy to be off the truck that he
stood quietly as the rapidly
falling snow covered him with a
white blanket. When he “raised
his head” and cocked his ears
forward, the kids said he looked
like a snowman and that became
the horse’s name – Snowman.
(Rutherford Montgomery, op.
cit., pp. 14-15.)
The de Leyer kids helped their
father groom their new horse.
“They washed Snowman as
many times as was necessary to
get the dirt and slime out of his
coat and off his skin. They
clipped him slightly and combed

care and attention that was lavished on the horse, Snowman
began to perk up and enjoy life.
It was clear that he would be a
gentle horse for children to ride
and Harry de Leyer now had to
teach the big workhorse how to
become a sure-footed riding
horse. That presented a bit of a
problem that Harry solved by
setting out a series of poles on
the ground and having the horse
learn how to step over the poles
without disrupting them. “The
trick, in walking over the poles
was to get the horse to lift his
feet high and space his steps
right.” After many practice sessions, Snowman learned how to
do this and stepped over the
poles, then he was taught how to
trot over the poles, and finally he
learned how to cantor over the
poles without hitting them. At
the same time, Harry got the
horse used to having a saddle
and rider on his back. So in a relatively short span of time, Snowman was ready to join the other
horses at Knox School and he remained at the school throughout
the spring and quickly became a
favorite horse for many of the
girls. (Rutherford Montgomery,
op. cit., pp. 16-19.) In the summer, when the
school year came to an end,
Knox School closed down and
Harry had to bring his horses
back to his stable in St. James.
Snowman was back in his stall to
the delight of the de Leyer kids.
But he didn’t stay long since a
neighbor who was a local chiropractor, Dr. Robert Rugen, was
interested in buying a horse for
his young son to ride. When he
visited the stable and saw Snowman, he offered to buy him for
$160 – double the price that
Harry had paid for the horse.
With so many horses in his stable, and little money coming in
over the summer, Harry sold
Snowman with the understanding that if the horse wasn’t suitable, then Dr. Rugen would
return the horse to Harry and get
his $160 back. The de Leyer kids
were heartbroken but were consoled by the fact that Snowman
was only moving to a barn on
Stony Brook Road, across some
open potato fields, and that they
would still be able to see and
visit with the horse.
It turned out that Snowman
wasn’t gone for long. Dr. Rugen
took the horse home, put him in
his corral, and the next morning
Snowman turned up in the corral
at Hollandia Farm. Snowman
persisted in “jumping the doccontninued on page 44

tor’s fences, no matter how high they were raised, and coming
home – cross country over fields
and lawns, through back yards
and gardens. Irate citizens called
police.” The doctor brought
Snowman back to Hollandia
Farm and got his money back.
(Philip B. Kunhardt, op. cit., p.
94.)
Harry didn’t believe that
Snowman was a jumper, but
when he saw the big horse gleefully jumping obstacles in own
corral, he quickly became a believer. Since the horse seemed to
actually enjoy jumping, Harry
decided to give Snowman special training to become a jumper.
As a nine-year-old horse that had
spent much of its life hitched to a
plow, “Snowman had a lot to
learn and a lot to unlearn” about
open jumping in a horse show.
“In open jumping the performance of a horse is all that counts.
The rules call for a loss of points
called a ‘fault’ if the horse
touches a pole or knocks one
down with fore- or hind feet, refuses to take a barrier, or unsaddles his rider, or leaves the
course.” Snowman had to learn
how to take jumps over obstacles
without causing faults and Harry
patiently introduced the horse
“to the obstacles that he would
face at a show: the coop, which
looks like an A-roofed chicken
house; the rail, which is a rail
suspended between two posts;
the gate, which is just that, a gate
with bars; natural rails, which
are two posts with rails between
them; brush and fence, which is
a fence with brush piled on each
side. An aiken is a fenced-in
hedge with the brush at the top
of the rails. The hog’s back is a
set of three rails with the center
rail higher than the others.” All of
these jumps and others that resembled “obstacles a horse
might meet in a cross-country
run,” Snowman had to learn to
jump and clear. (Rutherford
Montgomery, op. cit., pp. 49-50.) “Probably no one but Harry de
Leyer would have had the persistence and patience to spend
hours and days and weeks teaching an easy going plow horse to
face such a formidable task as
mastering all of the obstacles in
a championship show. Harry
took the time, and he brought
Snowman along slowly, building
up his power and endurance,
teaching him that every jump
had to be his best.” Throughout
1957 and into the spring of
1958, Harry worked with Snowman getting him ready for comcontinued on page 46

petitive jumping. The jumps “became higher and the obstacles wider” until Harry felt that
Snowman was confident and
ready to participate in a professional horse show. (Rutherford
Montgomery, op. cit., pp. 49-53.) Finally in April of 1958, Harry
“decided to put the big gray to
his first real test – at the Sands
Point Horse Show on Long Island, where he would compete
with some of the top open
jumpers in the land.” Harry and
his family went to the show at
Sands Point with four horses that
were entered into competition
and Harry was determined to
ride them all. “Harry’s first ride
was on Wayward Wind in the
first year green hunter contest”
and when the competition was
over, Wayward Wind was the
winner. In the “second-year
green-hunter stake,” Harry rode an experienced horse named Cicero and
he won first place honors again.
And then he won “the greenjumper stake and the greenjumper championship” on a
horse named Night Arrest. The
crowd watched anxiously to see
the horse that Harry de Leyer
was going to ride in the top
event of the day – the open
jumping competition. When
Harry brought Snowman into the
field, a hush fell over the crowd
as they stared at “a broadbeamed farm horse as he ambled
through the gate” and joined the
assembled thoroughbreds waiting to begin the competition. The
big gray horse looked so out of
place because of his size and
shape that some adults in the audience began to “laugh out
loud.” The laughter grew as people got a good look at the plow
horse that dared to challenge the
thoroughbred jumpers who were
entered in the competition. As
far as the crowd was concerned,
Snowman didn’t stand a chance.
Harry de Leyer taking Snowman over a jump known as a coop on the obstacle course at Knox School. Since Snowman’s mane is braided, Harry is
wearing “pinks,” and appears to have a number plaque on his back, it is
safe to assume that a jumping competition was in progress. Snowman was
obviously clearing this jump with room to spare.

cit., pp. 59-61.) The laughter slowly died out
as Snowman made his run over
the obstacle course and “jumped
effortlessly and without any
fuss.” By the end of the second
day of competition, the laughter
stopped when it was discovered
that the big gray gelding named
Snowman was tied for first place
with a champion jumper named
Andante. everyone looked forward to the final day of competition. But what the spectators
didn’t realize was that Snowman
had cut his foreleg on the very
last jump. One of his hind legs
had scraped the skin off the back
of a foreleg and the leg was
bleeding badly. It looked like
Snowman was out of the competition. But Harry cleaned and
bound the wound, and packed
the leg in ice. Throughout the
night, Harry replenished the ice
whenever it melted down and
prayed that Snowman’s leg
would not be swollen and stiff in
the morning. An exhausted Harry
de Leyer slumped against the stable wall later that night and fell
asleep. When he awakened the
next morning in broad daylight,
“Snowman was watching him
eagerly” and seemed to be “resting his weight on both forelimbs.” When Harry removed the
empty ice pack from around his
leg, there was no sign of
swelling. So Harry and Johanna immediately took Snowman to
an exercise paddock to see if the
movement of his leg would be
restricted. Harry released the
horse and “he galloped away.” At
Harry’s urging, Snowman ran toward a barrier “and sailed over
it.” He appeared to be all right
and Harry decided to keep
Snowman in the competition for
the third and final day. (Rutherford Montgomery, op. cit., pp.
64-68.)
When Snowman made his
final run through the obstacle
course, he turned in a flawless
performance “sailing over the continued on page 108

DESIGN IDEAS:
Uniquely Natalie
by natalie
Weinstein,
allied aSId
Well – we
did it-we’re
officially
“townies.”
Our recent
move to Lake
Avenue took
us light years from 2nd Street
and our sequestered old vaudeville theatre and into the spotlight, even though it is only
around the corner. Our current
digs, the home of our design firm
and a new endeavor, a retail
store (uniquely natalie) featuring a variety of “designer picks”
from our wonderful sources,
seems to have already attracted
visitors even though we are not
yet officially open. Our staff is
adjusting, unpacking and keeping our clients happy, and I am
“playing house” with Lillian, our
“designer/shopkeeper” whose
experience in store ownership is
as invaluable as her energy and
expertise.
So why did we come out of
the closet, or the theatre, if you
will? Perhaps I wanted to reconnect with the folks in St. James
on another level and share the
goodies we are privileged to
work with every day – or –
maybe, after 40 years, it’s in my
blood – or – I’m just plain out of
my mind. But It seemed like a
natural segue. Since I began my
Home Decorating Club in 2001,
this vehicle has taken me into so
many homes and allowed me the
privilege of sharing my ideas and
commitment with both client
and homeowner alike. So here we are, a part of the
St. James business community
since 1985, and homeowner
since 1976, opening our doors
as the new guys on the block. St.
James – are you ready for us –
the seminars, the sources, the designer goods we will have in our
store? We are getting ready for
you.
Let us know how we can help
with your fabrics, window treatments, wallpaper, furniture, accessories and more, and pick-up
a copy of “design pro on the go
- do-It-yourself Workbook,” get some answers
to your design questions,
and see what we are all
about.
Over the wonderful
years I have written this
column, I have come to
know many of you
through facebook and
your emails. Now, let’s finally meet, and say “hi”
face-to-face. We’re ready
for the logical next step to
help you create the home of your
dreams, (no matter what the
budget), because we know how
life changes for the better when
you realize its nurturing and empowering effects. Now, take that
important first step. Spring is finally here and so are we – so
come on down, St. James. We
will be happy to add you to our
growing list of over 15,000 Natalie Weinstein Home Decorating Club members receiving tips,
invites to free informative seminars, and entree to great sources,
just in time for the decorating
season. Let us help you make
your home all it can be for you
and your family.

NATURALLY SPEAKING:
Pretty Plants and the Unwanted Weeds
by June a. liardi
The month of June is such a
pretty month and a pretty busy
one too. It is PeReNNIAL GARDeNING MONTH, the beginning of
summer, end of the school year
for most, and we honor our fathers on the 16th.
If you are planting some decorative planters, think bigger
rather than smaller. A large container with larger specimens will
make more of a visual impact.
Choose larger plants of roughly
the same size, this way they can
grow up together. The larger container will hold the moisture
longer, very important during
those hot, dry summer months. If
your plants are not stressed they
will grow better and thus look
lusher.
When choosing plants, do not
overlook foliage plants. Besides
the garden foliage plants, check
out the houseplant section. There
you will find so many colors,
textures and different shaped
plants. Another benefit is that at
the end of the season you can
dig it up and enjoy it inside as a
houseplant.
A starting point for your plant
selection should be a bold,
somewhat larger main plant. The
trend in the past has been a
spike-shaped plant or ornamental grass. Pick one that catches
your eye and work around that
plant. Complementary colors,
upright and cascading plants can
complete the look.
Your container will have to be
monitored carefully for moisture.
As water and nutrients leech out
every time you water, you will
need to fertilize often. Your flowering plants probably will need a
feeding of water-soluble fertilizer
every two weeks. As things heat
up, your plants may need more
frequent feedings, keep an eye
out.
The beginning of the month is
time to finish planting your
perennial garden. This will give
the plants time to get established
before the real heat of the summer. As the weather does warm
up, add a few inches of mulch to
all the beds.
Stake plants before they get
top heavy, leggy and flop over.
There are all types of stakes
available or just use some
branches you have pruned from
shrubs and trees. Consider planting so that some taller, weaker
plants will lean on some sturdier,
bushy types.
Take time to deadhead your
flowering plants, it encourages
the plant to keep blooming.
Have the children come out to
help. It is a nice, quiet time to
spend together. You will also have to keep
weeding. Those unwanted plants
will use up the water and nutrients in the soil. Take another
look at some of those weeds
though, they could have another
life in your salad bowl. We all
know of the dandelion. This bitter green is a healthy addition to
your salad. Ounce per ounce the
leaves are higher in vitamin A
than broccoli, carrots or spinach.
It also contains vitamin C and e,
potassium, iron, calcium and
zinc. You can buy them in most
supermarkets or just go to your
lawn and pick some. The best are
the young leaves gathered during
the cooler months as they start to
grow. After the plant blooms, the
leaves get really bitter.
Another abundant, wild green
is lambs quarters, and here too,
the most desirable leaves are the
small, young ones. These greens
are interchangeable in recipes
calling for spinach.
Two other easily found weeds
are chickweed and the succulent
stems and leaves of purslane.
Both are rich in vitamins, with
purslane stems containing the
greatest source of Omega-3 fatty
acids in the garden world.
Kids are fascinated by the fact
they can eat weeds, but please
be cautious and teach them not
to pick and eat anything by
themselves. Make sure you have
properly identified the plant and
be certain that it has not been
sprayed with any fertilizers or
pesticides. There are many reference books available, these are
just a few good ones: the Encyclopedia of Edible plants of
north america, by Francois Couplan and James A. Duke; also
Identifying and Harvesting Edible
and Medicinal plants in Wild
(and not So Wild places), by
Steve Brill; and Stalking the Wild
asparagus, by euell Gibbons.
HAPPY HARVeSTING.
“What is a weed? a plant
whose virtues have not yet been
discovered.”–RALPH WALDO eMeRSON
editor’s note:
June liardi, a St. James resident for over
30 years, is a wife and mother of three
sons. June will be writing articles on
gardening, nature related craft projects

INVESTING WITH INTEGRITY, RIGOR & DISCIPLINE
The Low Rate Trap
by
richard
Masino
Investors are trapped! Those
who chase yield by going further
out on the curve (longer maturities, see chart below) will face a
dangerous amount of “duration”
risk. Duration is a statistical measurement of interest rate sensitivity. So for example, let’s say the
30 year Treasury has a duration
of 20. That would mean if interest rates were to suddenly spike
by just 1%, the resulting depreciation of that bond would be
20%. Investors may mitigate duration risk by keeping maturities
shorter, but then they will face a
different peril – inflation risk.
If inflation is running 2% annually (wishful thinking), a 3
year Treasury with a yield of
0.30% will generate a guaranteed loss of purchasing power of
1.70% (2% - 0.30%) each year.
Daily Treasury Yield Curve as
of May 1st.
MATURITY

30 years
RATE
0.11%
0.30%
0.65%
1.66%
2.44%
2.83%
Since it’s fairly typical for investors to have a significant allocation of their wealth directed
towards fixed income oriented
investments, you can see the conundrum. How does one reduce
duration risk without succumb-
ing to inflation risk?
From my perch, the days of
holding a simple laddered portfolio of staggered maturities and
clipping coupons are gone. A
more active approach to fixed income is required in this age of
ultra-low rates. Here’s a few
ideas as to what I look for to help
sidestep this trap: 1. Fixed income investments
where returns are not reliant
upon interest rates – Market
Linked Notes are a great example. I’ve recently purchased
Notes that provide an uncapped upside return on the
S&P 500. However, if the S&P
declines, there is a principal
guarantee against any losses.
Like any debt instrument, the
guarantee is only as good as
the credit of the issuing firm so
one has to be selective. But
the over-riding point is that
there are fixed income vehicles out there where the return
profile is not dependent upon
the direction of interest rates. 2. Non-traditional strategies –
There’s a small group of managers that I trust to expand the
set of tools with which they
ply their trade. One will buy
high yield muni bonds to generate tax-free income while
shorting Treasuries to reduce
duration risk. Another muni
bond manager I like will seek
to hedge inflation risk through
the use of inflation indexed
derivatives. Yet another generated a 23% gain last year by
being an active trader and
closed the year with a portfolio having a duration below
zero.
3. Opportunistic global strategies – Yields are low around
the world but by introducing
global bonds into the portfolio
one can gain exposure to another return stream – foreign
currencies. In addition, there
are potential gains to be had
by opportunistically trading
the volatility of foreign markets.

MONEY MATTERS:
Be Aware of the Need for Disability Insurance
by Scott posner, Cfp,
CrpC, a.a.M.S.
It probably doesn’t show up
on your calendar, but May is Disability Insurance Awareness
Month. And you might agree that
such a month is useful, when
you consider the following:
• Three in 10 workers entering
the workforce today will become disabled before retiring,
according to the Social Security Administration.
• At age 42, you are four times
more likely to become seriously disabled than to die during your working years,
according to National Underwriter Life & Health. • Disability causes nearly 50%
of all mortgage foreclosures,
according to Health Affairs, a
health policy research journal.
Given these statistics, it’s not
surprising that the Life and
Health Insurance Foundation for
education (LIFe) sponsors Disability Insurance Awareness
Month to encourage Americans
to address their disability income
needs. Here’s the bottom line:
You can be really good at budgeting your money and you can
be a disciplined long-term investor – but unless you’ve protected at least a reasonable
percentage of your income, your
whole financial strategy is incomplete. And all your goals,
such as a comfortable retirement,
could be jeopardized.
Of course, you may not be to-
tally unfamiliar with disability income insurance; if you work for
a large employer, a group disability policy may be part of your
employee benefits package. If so,
you should certainly accept the
coverage, which may be offered
to you free, or at minimal cost.
However, this coverage might be
inadequate to replace the income needed to allow your family to maintain its lifestyle
without dipping into your investments.
Consequently, you might need
to think about purchasing an individual disability insurance policy. Here are some tips:
Look for a policy that is “noncancellable” until you reach age
65. When you purchase a noncancellable policy, your policy continued on page 80

Be Aware of the Need for Disability Insurance
premiums can’t be changed, provided you pay them on time.
Pick the right waiting period.
Typically, disability insurance
policies don’t start paying benefits immediately; there’s usually a
waiting (or “elimination”) period
ranging from 30 days to two
years. Obviously, a shorter waiting period is more desirable, but
it’s probably also going to be
more expensive. You may be
able to give yourself the flexibility of choosing the longer waiting period if you have created an
emergency fund containing six to
12 months’ worth of living expenses, kept in a liquid account
that offers significant preservation of principal.
Avoid overly restrictive policies. You may want to avoid an
“accident-only” policy or one
with a limited benefit term (five
and 10 years are common).
These policies may be cheaper,
but they don’t cover either a disabling illness or the entirety of
your working life.
Consider adding appropriate
“riders.” It will likely add to the
cost of your policy, but a cost-ofliving rider will help protect your
future benefits from the effects of
inflation. You also might want to
add a future income options
(FIO) rider, which provides you
with the ability to purchase additional coverage in the future with
no further medical underwriting.
These suggestions are general
in nature. Your financial advisor
can help you determine if you
need a private disability insurance policy – and, if so, what
type of policy is best suited for
your needs. But don’t wait too long to take
action in this area. You can’t predict the future, but you should
still prepare for the unexpected.

The Jolly Testator
(or, “Should I Write My Own Will?”)
by Joseph a. Bollhofer, Esq.
folk County. Probate is the
process of having a will approved by the Surrogate’s Court
and appointing an executor, as
chosen by the testator (the will
maker) in his will, to pay the estate’s taxes and debts and distribute the estate’s property in
accordance with the will.
A contested probate proceeding occurs when someone who
claims he is in some way legally
entitled to some benefit from the
estate objects to the validity of
the will or its interpretation, or to
the way in which the executor is
doing his job.
Those who have read a will
usually are struck by what appears to be unnecessarily formal
and stuffy language. However,
wills are written as they are for
one very good reason: they
“When a festive occasion
our spirit unbends
We should never forget
the profession’s best friends.
So we’ll pass round the wine
and a light bumper fill
to the jolly testator
who makes his own will.”

JACOB M. BRANDe, lifetime
Speaker's Encyclopedia, 1962
No caring person desires to
cause problems for his heirs.
However, sometimes problems
occur.
Records from Suffolk County’s

work (if done correctly).
Lawyers, being the generally
cautious group that we are,
rarely deviate from the tried and
true – “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix
it.” Many of the phrases in wills

the rich legal history inherited by
us from the english system. However, blindly following forms
without knowing the reasons for
what is stated is dangerous.
each will must be tailored so that
it (1) accurately reflects the testator’s intent and (2) carries out
that intent in a legally permissible manner.
Speaking of intent, since the
testator no longer is around at
the time of probate, he cannot
explain any ambiguities in the
will. It is therefore of extreme continued on facing page

importance that the will clearly
express the testator’s intent.
Those laypersons who make their
own will, like the jolly testator,
run the risk of having their wills
interpreted in some manner
other than as they intended or,
equally unpleasant, of having the
will declared invalid because it
was not made in accordance
with strict legal formality requirements. even if the Surrogate’s Court ultimately interprets
an ambiguous provision in a will
as the testator had intended,
everyone involved has suffered
unnecessarily (except the
lawyers). Who finds joy in the
time, anxiety and expense of a
trial?
Under such circumstances, the
parties involved might have been
better off if the testator had died
intestate (i.e., without a will). At
least then the property of the estate would be distributed to the
next of kin in a clearly-defined
order under the law. Of course,
this distribution might not be as
the testator intended. For example, if a man dies intestate leaving a wife and two children, his
estate (except property owned
jointly with his wife, which all
becomes solely hers) is divided
as follows: $50,000 plus one-half
of the remainder to the wife; editor’s note:

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
one-half 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!

Keeping the Weight Off
by anne Marie lisa
Spring is in the air and summer is right around the corner.
lt’s time to shed those winter
coats and along with it those
extra pounds that were hiding
beneath it. While most diet plans
will work in taking off those
extra pounds few will help keep
the weight off for any length of
time. This begins the vicious
cycle of weight loss and weight
gain. depriving or Indulging.
Why does this happen? Most
diets are focused on elimination.
Diets which eliminate meals or
entire food groups can’t be sustained long term. Diets that replace meals with beverages also
fall into that category. elimination of the foods we enjoy leave
us feeling deprived and bored.
So what can we do?
Before committing to a diet
check to see if it falls into this
category. A good weight loss program will be designed to cut the
urges that sabotage your good
choices. This is essential for continued weight loss. It should help
you maintain healthy blood
sugar levels. lt should also support and encourage a strong immune system and balance
hormone levels that are related
to weight loss. Within the first 2
weeks you should feel more energized and “want” to continue.
It should also be varied, easy to
follow, and flexible enough to fit
into your lifestyle.
Get off the diet merry-goround. Learn how to honor yourself with healthy eating habits
that enable you to lose the
weight and keep it off!

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.
Should I Use Heat or Ice After an Injury?
This is a common question brought up by
patients and by all means an important one.
Understanding the purpose of each along with
their benefits makes this an easier question to
answer.
After an initial injury such as pulling a muscle,
spraining your lower back or twisting your ankle
the inflammatory stage of healing begins and
lasts from 24-72 hours. It is during this initial
stage that ice is preferred to reduce inflammation. Typically ice is applied in 10-20 minute
intervals and removed for 10-20 minutes. This
cycle is repeated as often as necessary.
A common acronym used to remember what to
do after an injury is P.R.I.C.E. (Protect, Rest,
Ice, Compress and Elevate the injury).
Once the inflammatory stage is over, generally after 72 hours, heat is used to increase
circulation and flexibility. Moist heat is preferred
over dry heat (i.e. heating pad), because muscles have a high water content and the dry heat
tends to dehydrate it, causing them to be less
flexible and predisposing them to further injury.
Heat is typically applied in the same manner as
ice, in that it is applied for 20-30 minutes and
removed for 20-30 minutes, also being repeated

Physical Therapist Guide to Bone Health
by rich greco, pt, atC, CSCS,
tpI Certified
golf fitness Instructor
Physical therapists are experts
in improving and restoring mobility and play an important role
in ensuring optimal bone health.
Healthy bones can help you stay
strong and active throughout
your life. If good bone health is
achieved during childhood and
maintained, it can help to avoid
bone loss and fracture later in
life. For healthy bones, it is important to maintain a physically active lifestyle and eat a balanced
diet with plenty of calcium, vitamin D, and perhaps other supplements as needed. Physical
therapists can design a unique
program for you to help keep
your bones healthy.
Osteoporosis is a common
bone disease that affects both
men and women (mostly
women), usually as they age. It is
associated with low bone mass
and thinning of the bone structure, making bones fragile and
more likely to break.
Some people are more at risk
for osteoporosis than others. Not
all risk factors can be changed,
but healthy habits and a proper
exercise routine designed by a
physical therapist can keep
bones healthy and reduce risk.
Risk factors* include:
• Age: More common in older
individuals
• Sex: More common in women
• Family History: Heredity
• Race and ethnicity: Affects all
races. In the US, increased risk
for Caucasian, Asian or Latino
• Weight: Low body weight
(small and thin)
• Diet, especially one low in calcium and vitamin D
• History of broken bones
• Menopause
• Inactive lifestyle
• Smoking
• Alcohol abuse
• Certain medications, diseases,
and other medical conditions
Physical therapy can help prevent osteoporosis and treat its effects by designing individualized
exercise programs to benefit
bone health, improve posture,
and enhance core stability and
balance. Most of these exercises
are simple and can be done at
home with no special equipment.

Fight Fracture with Fitness
Inactivity is a major risk factor
for osteoporosis. The right exercises and good habits can keep bones strong and prevent or reverse the effects of osteoporosis.
Weight-bearing exercise, such as
walking, is an important way to
build and maintain healthy
bones. Muscle strengthening exercises have been found to stimulate bone growth and can help
prevent and treat osteoporosis.
These types of exercises are best
if started early in life and done
regularly. However, it is important to remember that you can
begin exercising at any age and
still reap great benefits.
If you have osteoporosis, are at
high risk for a fall or fracture, or
have a medical condition, affecting your ability to exercise, do
not begin an exercise program
without first consulting your
physician.
Avoid exercises and daily activities, which round the spine,
such as sit-ups, crunches, bending down to tie your shoes, exercise machines that involve
forward bending of the trunk,
and movements and sports that
round and twist the spine.
Benefits of Good Balance
Preserving balance and stability with exercises can help reduce falls and resulting fractures.
exercises that improve posture,
core stability, balance and coordination, can also protect the
spine against compression fractures. An individualized program
may include a walking regimen,
yoga and other exercises geared
toward conditioning, balance
and coordination.
Bone Health Begins With
Good Posture
Physical therapists recommend
good posture and safe movements to protect bones from fracture during daily activities. Using
proper posture and safe body
mechanics during all activities
protects the spine against injury.
Here are some tips:
• Keep your back, stomach and
leg muscles strong and flexible.
• Keep your body in alignment,
so it can be more efficient
when you move.
• Do not slouch. When sitting,
keep your spine and head
straight. Put a small pillow behind your waist to keep your
spine in a good position.

Our Amazing Microbiota
by pamela Browne Keane, r.ph.
every day seems to bring new
evidence of the role of the Microbiota in our health and
well being. Recent articles in the
new york times and the Wall
Street Journal have both reported
on research concerning the
amino acid carnitine. This substance is most often found in red
meat. While saturated fat and
cholesterol have been blamed
for the increased heart attack risk
associated with red meat it appears that the culprit is carnitine.
Not carnitine directly, but a
chemical called TMAO which is
made from carnitine by some
species of bacteria found in our
digestive tract. The researchers followed up
on this observation by trying to
identify if we all had this problematic bacteria or if it was
somehow limited. What they
found was that our diet played
an important role in the composition of our personal micro-
biota. Vegetarians who had no
meat for one year prior to the test
did not have a corresponding increase in TMAO in the blood.
They ate the same amount of
steak and had the same increase
of carnitine in the gut yet they reacted differently by not having
the increase in TMAO. The next
step was to test this theory in a
mouse model to see if the results
could be duplicated. A group of
mice were given broad spectrum
antibiotics to kill all of the bacteria in their digestive tract and
then were fed steak, lucky mice.
When blood tests were done
these mice had no increase in
TMAO, thus proving the role of
the certain bacteria in creating
the high level of TMAO in our
blood after a red meat meal.
Cholesterol still plays a role in continued on facing page

seem that the increased TMAO
levels are what cause cholesterol
to create plaques on the sides of
arterial walls in the first place.
Ulcers are caused by the H.pylori bacteria and the treatment is
to eradicate this bad bacteria.
Why can’t we treat the “steak”
bacteria the same way? Maybe if

Ask Ron Villano...
Ron villano, M.S., LMHC, ASAC, CCH is a leading expert
in working through change. As a father who lost his 17year old son, Michael, in an auto accident, he always
speaks from the heart. As a licensed psychotherapist, certified clinical hypnotherapist and life/bereavement coach,
he counsels others on how to work through difficult times.
dear Ron,
I am concerned that my teenage
daughter may be dating boys
against my permission. I am a
single mother and it is just me
and my 15 year old daughter living together. It has been hard for
me to have time to see what goes
on when I am not home, since I
work full time. We talked about
some important ground rules,
such as no friends allowed over
after school until her grandmother comes over or I come
home. last week I found out that
she had a few friends over on a
thursday night when I was looking through some facebook con-

professional life today! versations. I believe there may
have been a few boys over, and
from reading some posts between her friends, she may be interested in one boy in particular.
How can I talk to her about what
may be going on behind my
back?
– Concerned
Dear Concerned,
It seems like you and your
daughter are having trouble
communicating – on one end,
you wish to have more insight to
what goes on in her life; on the
other, your daughter has just
begun to experience her teenage
Howard Beach
years and probably feels the
need for some privacy in her life.
This privacy helps her feel more
grown up and in control as she
begins to become her own person. Although she is young and
still needs some guidance and
supervision, a little privacy is not
a bad thing. The question here is
how can you both keep a good
line of communication going
while keeping each other’s
wishes in mind? Try sitting down
with your daughter and outlining
what is most important to each
other when it comes to communication. Take a look at each continued on page 96

maturity of the teen) and that
each person feels like they are

feel like they are being understood, they are more likely to
honor each other’s wishes as

Talking About TMJ
by dr. linda M. Bocchichio
The temporomandibular joint
(TMJ) is located just in front of
the ear on both sides of your
head. This joint moves each time
you bite down on something and
whenever you talk or swallow.
As a result pain in this joint can
be quite frustrating and could
last years if left untreated.
The pain associated with the
TMJ is often a result of displacement of the cartilage disc that
causes pressure and stretching of
the associated sensory nerves.
The popping or clicking occurs
as the disk snaps into place
whenever the jaw moves. In addition, the chewing muscles may
spasm causing pain and tenderness.
Chiropractic may be one of
the best ways to treat TMJ pain. It
may take several visits but the re-
sults are worth it.
In conjunction
with the care you
receive from
your chiropractor, you may
want to try these
self-remedies:
• Avoid clenching or tensing
your jaw. Do
not chew gum.
• Rest the muscles and joints
by eating soft
foods.
• Relax muscles
with moist heat (1/2 hour at
least twice daily).
• Talk to your dentist to determine whether a bite guard is
indicated.

The Month of May
by David F. McKell
It’s been a long wait, but a wonderful sight
as we enjoy this beautiful day!
those april showers weren’t for naught,
they brought us our flowers in May!
I’m talking about chores, like “cutting the grass”
perhaps even planting some flowers.
you’ll be surprised at the results that you get,
Just by putting in a few hours.
How lovely it is to see all the blooms
that brings beauty and fragrance too!
as each day stays bright longer,
to make it all happier for me and you!
of course during these days it may get quite warm,
But if that’s the case, just apply a really old rule
“When this happens, just think of february,
Which will really make you feel cool!”
So let’s all make a promise each day
that we will try to maintain the sublime
By doing what we can to keep it going,
and move it along, “one day at a time!”
So once again let’s all try our best,
to welcome and appreciate the spring!
While we hope for a wonderful summer
and all that it surely will bring!
Life (2)
by John Taratunio, Fairfield Condos
What is it about life
that makes living so rare
We cherish each breath we take
and treat our bodies with care
Why must we be careful
In everything we do
We never know the limits
our bodies can go through
there is a special reason
Why life is a special treat
once it’s gone,
it will never come again
that’s what makes life so sweet.
