A BIG Thank You
That’s one more kiss good night
And one more hug from a friend
Getting to watch the sunrise and
See the sun set ‘til the end
After a summer storm
Catching a rainbow appear
And whispering, “I Love You”
Into her ear
To smell a fresh cut lawn
Dig your toes into the sand
To be able to simply reach out
And hold his hand.
– Thea Garthe
by thea Garthe
& Gwen Wallasch
Blood Drive Co-Chairs
thank you from the Nesaquake Middle School PTA,
Long Island Blood Services and
our donors, for the 195 lives
that will be able to do these
things and more. And a big
thank you to all the people responsible for making this Blood
Drive one of the best ever.
On Monday, March 11,
2013, generous donors came
through with “random acts of
kindness” which correlated
with Nesaquake’s theme for the
week. The Blood Drive was a
huge success! I’d give it an A+
(or an A Positive and, yes the
pun was intended).
Special thanks to the local
merchants who donated items
to keep our donors pumped!

And a very special thank you
to the three nurses who worked
continuously to keep the
donor’s blood flowing with
ease – Joan, Elsie and Geraldine
from Long Island Blood Services.
And to all the Blood Donors
that took time out of their hectic schedules to give the “Gift of
Life” including both Nesaquake
principals who were first on
line.

LIVES, LOVES AND LAMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF ST. JAMES
More of Andy Wolke’s Memories of the Heart
of the Little Country Town of St. James in the 1950’s
by Bradley harris,
smithtown historian
last month I wrote about
andy Wolke’s memories of
the heart of the little country town of st. James in the
1950’s. that article concentrated on the stores and
residences that were on the
east side of lake avenue.
this article contains andy’s
memories of the businesses
and houses that were on
the west side of lake avenue.
In the 1950’s, the north end of
Lake Avenue did not run directly
to the St. James Firehouse on
North Country Road. Lake Avenue terminated at Moriches
Road, merged with it and ran behind Gould’s Hotel that occupied the little triangular park that
is located at the north end of
Lake Avenue today. Many people
will remember when the Gold
Coast Two was located in this
hotel. But Andy was too young
to enter any bar in the 1950’s, so
he didn’t remember much about
it.
Andy Wolke did remember
that there was a farmhouse and a
large barn on the southwest corner of the intersection of
Moriches Road and North Coun-
Larry Smith’s Store that sold candy,
soda, and ice cream near the railroad
station. The store used to have a porch
that ran along the Lake Avenue side of
the building and once had a two-lane
bowling alley behind it.
try Road. He remembers that
Winthrop Taylor’s farm Superintendent lived in the farmhouse
and one of his duties was to
monitor the herd of Guernsey
cows that were kept in the surrounding pastures. The pastures
stretched to the south behind the
Mazzochi house on Lake Avenue
and ran as far south as the St.
James Elementary School. Open
fields stretched from the cow
pasture fence line all the way to
the railroad tracks since these
fields were dedicated to potatoes. The cows had to be milked
twice a day, because if the cows
weren’t milked, their udders
would become distended with
milk and the cows would go
berserk, charging and running
down people. Andy recalled that
this happened to one of Taylor’s
cows one day when it broke out
of the pasture, ran amuck down
Lake Avenue, and fatally trampled somebody.
The first large house that was
standing south of the farm on the
west side of Lake Avenue was Joe
Mazzochi’s house. Joe was a
truck mechanic and he repaired
trucks in a garage that was behind his house. Andy recalled
that Joe was always covered in
grease. South of Mazzochi’s
house was the St. James Elementary School. When Andy attended school, there were no
wings extending off the back of
the school, just the main block
and the south wing of the original building were standing. There
was a large baseball field and
basketball court behind the
school where the kids played
whenever they had recess. South
of the school on the front lawn
was the veteran’s memorial, and continued on page 34

days, Andy always munched on
his favorite Swedish delicacy – a
sardine sandwich. If by chance
Andy had lunch money, he
would find a way to go across
Lake Avenue to the ice cream
store that was opposite the
school and buy a “Sidewalk Sundae.” As far as Andy was concerned, it was the best ice cream
cake made. Andy and his friends
would explore the old house and
he distinctly remembers that the
big house had a central staircase
that ran up to second floor and a
narrow stairway in the back of
the house that ran from the upstairs floor down to the kitchen
below. The old house was eventually demolished to make way
for a large railroad parking lot.
Beyond the abandoned house
was St. James Railroad Station
surrounded by its parking lot. Behind the station there was an
outhouse. Andy remembered that
one Halloween, some “kids” in
town tied a rope onto the outhouse and lashed the other end

to the last car of a train that was
headed for Port Jefferson. When
the train pulled out, the outhouse
bounced along behind it, and
the last anyone saw of that outhouse were its parts and pieces
flying in the air as the train
picked up speed. The steam locomotives that pulled the trains
were noisy and belched smoke
and sparks into the sky, so the
people living along the tracks
never gave it a second thought
when they found bits and pieces
of wood from the outhouse in
their fields. The kids in town had
a lot to chuckle about anyway.
Fortunately, no one was in the
outhouse when it got yanked off
its foundation. On the south side of the tracks
was Larry Smith’s store that sold
candy, soda and ice cream. There
was also a telephone in the store
and Andy recalled the day he
dropped a nickel into the phone
and it wouldn’t work. Then he
discovered that the reason the
phone wouldn’t work was because the phone company had
raised the price of calls to ten
cents and nobody told him. Andy
liked going into Larry Smith’s
store since the young lady who
ran the store, Carol Henze, liked
him and always made him feel
welcome. Andy would order a
cherry coke or a chocolate eggcream (like an ice cream soda
The St. James Hotel that used to stand
where the little triangular park is to be
found today in front of the firehouse. It
was also known as Gould’s Hotel and
in the 1970’s was the location of a discotheque known as the Gold Coast
Two.
without the ice cream) and savor
the flavor to the last drop. One
day when Andy stopped in with
his friends, he got to use the two
lane bowling alley that was beneath the store. Andy remembered that they walked down
several steps into the basement
where the bowling alleys were
located. The bowling alleys extended out the back of the store
and the shed that covered them
was partly below ground. The
shed had a flat roof with small
windows cut into the walls just
below the ceiling, so there was
plenty of natural light on the alleys. The bowling pins had to be
set manually and the balls were
returned on a track. Andy did
both chores and bowled as well,
but he doesn’t remember how he

scored. The bowling alley was
removed when LILCO built an
electric substation behind the
store.
To the south of Larry Smith’s
store was the house where Dicky
Smith lived. Andy recalled that
the house was actually owned by
Dicky Smith’s mother, an attractive blonde who seemed to be a
single parent because Andy
never saw Dicky’s father. Dicky
Smith was an older boy who was
friends with Andy’s cousin Chuck
Grodski, and Dicky was kind to
Andy, and tolerated his presence
when he tagged along with his
older cousin. Andy never knew if
Dicky Smith and Larry Smith
were somehow related, but he
never thought about it simply because there were so many Smiths
in St. James that you never questioned who was related to
whom. It was just too complicated.
Just to the south of Dicky
Smith’s house, 2nd Avenue ran
across Lake Avenue, by Dicky
Smith’s house, until it joined
Railroad Avenue. On the southwest corner of the intersection of
2nd Avenue and Lake Avenue
was the stationery store that Irving Young owned. Andy remembered that Irving Young’s name
was actually Irving Yochmowitz
and he didn’t know why he
legally changed his name, but he

did. His brother, Morris, kept the
name Yochmowitz, and he ran
the grocery store that was next
door. This was the grocery store
that his father, Sam Yochmowitz,
had owned for years. Andy occasionally went into this store to
pick up some items for his Mom,
but Mrs. Wolke didn’t shop there
because she felt prices were too
high and she preferred the A&P
in Smithtown. There was a house south of the
grocery store and Andy recalled
that a Jewish family named Roe
lived there. Andy went to school
with the Roe children, and
Roslyn Roe was in his class at St.
James Elementary School. Andy
knew that the Roe family was
Jewish, and many times he saw
Mr. Roe leave his home dressed
in black, wearing a Derby hat,
and looking like he was headed
for religious services at a synagogue in New York City. South of the Roe’s house was a
large open lot that the Veterans
of Foreign Wars used each summer for their annual fair. Andy
recalled that the VFW Post had
vendors selling food, hawkers
pushing games, and sharpies
selling carnival rides. There was
always a booth where you got
three chances to knock over a
canvas doll with a baseball, but
the dolls were spaced far apart
and far enough away, that it was
hard to hit them down and win a
doll. But the lines to try and do
so were always long.
Andy recalled that the St.
James Water District had its office in the VFW building and he
remembered the Superintendent
of the Water District because his
house in St. James was on Andy’s
paper route. Andy always saw
the man washing and polishing
the 1948 GMC truck that belonged to the water district, and
he made the truck’s green body
and black fenders sparkle and
shine.
South of the VFW hall was a
S P E A K I N G
vacant lot, and on the corner of
3rd Street, there was another
large house that was owned by
the Shevlins. This house is still
standing and is today the pool
supply store. The Shevlins were
also Jewish. In the 1950’s there
were not many Jewish families
living in St. James. There were
not many Italians living in St.
James either. The town was
mostly populated by Norwegians, Swedes, Germans and
Irish. And the Jewish families that
did live in St. James, owned continued on page 38

many of the local businesses. The
Shevlins owned the dress factory
that was just across 3rd Street
from their house. Today it is the
bicycle shop. It seems odd that a
dress factory was located in this
building, but Andy recalled that
the factory produced dresses
well into the 1960’s before it
shut down. There was a private home
south of the dress factory. Beyond it was a building that
housed two businesses: an insurance company that occupied the
north side of the building and
the Sugar Bowl which occupied
the south side. Kate Smith ran
the Sugar Bowl, her husband
worked for Grumman. Andy remembered that Kate sold candy,
soda and ice cream. And BB’s for
BB guns. It was the one place in
town that did and Andy used to
get his BB’s there.
Beyond the Sugar Bowl, there
was another house, and south of
it was a liquor store that was
built in the 1950’s. Andy remembered that an old Italian couple
ran the store but Andy had no
reason to be in the store and didn’t remember anything else.
South of the liquor store, that is
today the Tic Toc Café, was an
empty lot and then Paul Stepf’s
Garage. Paul Stepf’s Garage had
two gas pumps in front of his
garage and drivers could pull
their cars up to the curb and fill
up. Andy was in school with
Walter Dubicki who later had a
radiator repair service in the
front of Stepf’s Garage. Today the
garage is Dowling’s Auto Body
repair shop.
These were the stores and
homes that existed on the west
side of Lake Avenue in the
1950’s. And in last month’s edition of our town, Andy told us
about the businesses and homes
that existed on the east side of
Lake Avenue. Andy Wolke’s
memories have made it possible
to recapture what the streetscape
of little town of St. James was
like in the 1950’s. So now you
have a nearly complete picture
of what the heart of St. James
was like over 50 years ago. The
remarkable thing is that the center of the town has not changed
radically and many of the same
houses and stores that existed 50
years ago are still with us today.
Big changes have happened
along Lake Avenue south of
Fourth Street, and along North
Country Road from the LIRR continued on page 112

HINTS, TIPS & GREAT IDEAS FOR KEEPING YOUR PROPERTY BEAUTIFUL
REPAIR, RESTORE OR RENOVATE?
Now is a great time to Repair, Restore or Renovate to
bring new life to your lawn. How do you determine what
process your lawn needs to look its best? You first need to
assess its current condition and determine what type of
lawn you want to have. Knowing what you have and where
you want to go will determine the "Plan of Action.”
REPAiR? if you have a good lawn with just a few problem areas, spot seeding this spring will thicken up these
areas.
REStORE? if your lawn is fair to good but has chronic
weak, mossy or weedy areas, a soil test is recommended.
most lawn problems start with the soil, Don't guess, tESt!
Start soil preparation by opening up the soil with core aeration and applying soil building soil amendments, such as
lime, humates and compost. Now your soil is ready for
seeding. mechanical slice seeding is the most effective.
Otherwise broadcast seed with a spreader or by hand.
Keep in mind a healthy lawn can support no more than 11
plants per square inch. So Do Not Overseed. in weak and
bare areas the seed should be lightly raked in or top
dressed with a thin layer of soil or compost to insure good
seed to soil contact.
RENOVAtiON? A renovation is recommended if your
lawn is 50% or more weeds or there is a presence of weak
grass varieties such as creeping fescue or bentgrass
patches. A renovation replaces deteriorated turf with
newer stronger grass varieties. (Recommended grass varieties at Helpful tips and Before and After pictures at
www.emeraldmagic.com) First step in prepping for an effective renovation would be to mow as low as you can go
and scalp the lawn area. Another option is to treat the area
with a non-selective vegetation control (read and follow all
label instructions). this will help eliminate the competition.
You are now ready to seed and grow a Brand New...great
Lawn!

DESIGN IDEAS:
The World of Appliances in the Kitchen
by natalie
Weinstein,
allied asID
The kitchen
project in a
home is often
the most
challenging
and the most
satisfying,
when done properly. Many of my
consultations, since we began
the Home Decorating Club in
2001, have been exclusively
about kitchen planning and design. Obviously, if the homeowner sees the value and has the
budget for a new space plan as
well as kitchen cabinet and appliance replacement, more can
be done. I was just on a consult which
involved redoing the entire first
floor including the kitchen. By
suggesting that the washing machine and dryer be incorporated
into their new kitchen plan behind “pantry” doors, I allowed
the laundry room to be utilized
for sorely needed closet storage
and cabinet space. It created
new space the homeowners
never knew they had.
As part of a kitchen redesign,
old appliances should be replaced, if possible. Reaping the
benefits of new technology, energy efficiency and better space
planning the kitchen should be
able to accommodate larger capacity appliances as well as
more storage and counter space.
In my quest for what’s new
and hot in the world of appliances, I discovered, as I asked
the experts, that there’s a lot out
there that’s exciting and innovative. Induction cook tops are
faster, more efficient and easy to
clean. Magnetic forces between
the cook top and your cookware
are what actually cooks your
food. Remove your pot and the
cook top is cool to the touch,
which is great for households
with young families, older folks,
or anyone who tends to be
klutzy in the kitchen. With an induction cook top, you can boil
water in minutes, saving time as
well. (And by the way, this is not
a new technology)
If you want to cook a 6-pound
roasting chicken in just 30 minutes that’s crisp on the outside
and juicy on the inside, check
out the new speed cook microwave. The speed cook process
allows you to prepare dinner in
less than half the time you ordinarily do. Ah-technology – it’s
wonderful!
So, when is a refrigerator not a
refrigerator? When it’s a separate
refrigerator drawer – naturally.
This allows the kids to access
juice, water or anything anyone
uses frequently without wasting
energy and opening your full
size refrigerator excessively. It
can be placed anywhere that’s
easy to reach, even in your island. Look for Energy Star labels on
your new appliances which let
you know you will not only be
saving on energy and water costs
since they use 10-15% less energy and water than standard
brands, but they are friendlier to
the environment. If just 1 in 10
homes used Energy Star qualified
appliances, the change would be
like planting 1.7 million new
acres of trees!
There are great new appliance
products out there and the people developing them are really continued on page 112

NATURALLY SPEAKING:
Getting Back to Nature
by June a. liardi
Since April is gardening month
you may be buying some perennials at your local garden nursery. When choosing the size of a
plant consider if it is a slowgrower. If so, the largest plant
would be the best value. Otherwise choose a plant that does not
look too over-grown or worn out.
If it is a plant that blooms, it is
best to choose one with some
flower buds showing, not in full
bloom. This way you can verify
the color flower and enjoy its full
blooming show at home. If it is
in bloom already, you will not
get too much show from it when
planted.
Of course you want a healthy
plant. Do not pick a plant with
pale and/or brown leaves, the
plant has not had enough water.
Likewise a plant that had too
much water will have a dead
crown and/or roots that are rot-
ted. If a plant was newly potted it
will be loose within the soil and
can be easily pulled out. It will
probably take a long time to get
established.
This is the month to get outside and take a walk in the
woods. Look for the fern plants,
curled up and ready to unfurl
their bright green feathery
fronds. There are all types of
signs of life on the forest floor,
poking through the dry leaves.
The understory plants show tiny
specks of green life on their
branches. High above, the birds,
squirrels and owls are busy
building their nests. Then back in your neighborhood, look for
the bright yellow daffodils, colorful tulips and the smiling faces of pansies.

Getting Back to Nature
There is much to do outside
now. Start by adding generous
amounts of compost to all your
garden beds. Plant some peas or
some more peas in the garden,
they grow in the cooler weather
of spring. They are so worth it. If
you have seedlings of lettuce,
kale and broccoli, harden them
by putting them outside a little
more each day for a week or so
before planting outside. Although the average last frost date
for our area is the 15th of May, it
is best to wait until Memorial
Day to plant those warm season
annual flowers and vegetables.
By the end of April you can plant
seeds of some annuals like zinnias directly in the garden.
Celebrate Earth Day on the
April 22 by taking the family and
a few garbage bags and head out
to the street, the park or play-
ground, beach or forest and collect any trash laying around.
Arbor Day is April 26, how
about planting a fruit tree in the
yard. The children will love picking and eating fruit they helped
grow. Back to the earth, it is what
we need to do.
As you think about what plants
you are going to plant in your
containers this year, think about
vegetables to add interest. Pick a
Swiss chard plant with its tall,
upright leaves which will show
off its deep green leaves and red
veins as the sun shines on it. The
glossy purple of the eggplant will
nicely compliment a grouping of
purple and red flowers. Pair the
silvery green leaves of a sage
plant with white, pink and lavender flowers for a quiet, soft look.
There are many types of kale.
Combine these strong plants of
big bold leaves, with zinnia or
HARDWARE STORE
dwarf sunflowers. Soften the
container’s edge with sweet potato vines, soft fiber optic grass,
or trailing lobelia.
I think we all really need to
get back to nature. So many are
so involved with all their electronics, sitting inside pressing
buttons of one kind or another.
We need to feel the warm, soft
soil on our hands and to breathe
in the sweet, earthy scents
around us. How wonderful to
feel that smooth, soft caress of a
warm spring breeze on our
cheek. To just sit quietly in the
woods and listen to the life all
around us – BEautIFul.

Walk and Wag Your Tail for MS
The National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, Long Island
Chapter will host its annual signature fundraising event, Walk
Ms: long Island presented by
Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology on
Sunday, May 5, 2013 at Belmont
Lake State Park in Babylon, NY
and on Saturday, May 18, 2013
at Eisenhower Park in East
Meadow, NY. Check-in for each
event begins at 8:30 a.m. and the
walk begins at 10 a.m. Over
8,000 community members are
expected to participate and volunteer at this year’s Walk MS:
Long Island.
On May 5, 2013, walkers at
Belmont Lake State Park are welcome to bring their furry friends
(dogs) to participate in the ever
so popular “Pooch Parade.” The
“Pooch Parade” is a unique event
that begins at 10:30 a.m. All
dogs must be on leashes. Monies raised will help support local quality of life programs
and services for the more than
42,000 people affected by MS in
Nassau and Suffolk counties.
Funds also support critical national research to stop the disease from progressing, restore
what’s been lost and end MS forever. Walk MS events will occur
throughout the year with one
common goal; to raise funds and
awareness about multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease of the central nervous system that can have
unpredictable and often disabling effects including numbness and tingling to blindness
and paralysis.
For more information about
Walk MS: Long Island, how to
register or volunteer visit
www.nmssli.org or call 631-8648337 or 516-740-7227.
About Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease
of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information
within the brain, and between
the brain and body. Symptoms
range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis.
The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one
person cannot yet be predicted,
but advances in research and
treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people
with MS are diagnosed between
the ages of 20 and 50, with at
least two to three times more
women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 2.1 million
people worldwide.

Community Service is Their Passion
This past year, Amanda Stoerback, 16, of Nissequogue, and Alycia Santosus, 16, of Smithtown,
both juniors at Smithtown High School East, initiated a community service project within their DECA
Chapter to help support the Smithtown Children’s
Foundation. The mission was to share their passion
for community service with the entire Smithtown
High School East student body, as well as their surrounding communities, in order to help those right
in their own backyard.
The girls hosted a series of events, such as a bake
sale, a clothing drive, a food drive, logo sales, and
multiple restaurant fundraisers at Moe’s Southwest
Grill in Smithtown and Dunkin’ Donuts in St. James,
to help raise funds for the Smithtown Children’s
Foundation. They also set up a booth at St. James
Day to raise awareness in the community about the
existence of the Smithtown Children’s Foundation
and its many accomplishments. Through their hard
work and dedication, Amanda and Alycia were able
to raise over $2,000.
Besides raising money for the Smithtown Children’s Foundation, the fundraisers helped to unite
local families and businesses and, in addition,
helped to teach the Smithtown High School East
DECA members how to turn their ideas into reality.
“This was a very rewarding experience and it makes
us smile just knowing how many people we were
able to help. It was great to see the Smithtown community work together to support such a beneficial
cause,” stated Amanda. The girls are extremely appreciative of all their supporters and would like to
thank their fellow students and their fellow community members for their generosity. On March 6, 2013, Amanda and Alycia competed
at the DECA State Conference in Rochester, NY and
came in first place. The girls wrote a 30-page manual outlining their efforts and prepared a 15-minute
Alycia Santosus and Amanda Stoerback – first place
winners at the DECA State Conference.
oral and visual presentation for a three-judge panel.
Amanda and Alycia are now getting ready to head
off to the DECA International Career Development
Conference in Anaheim, California, along with 21
other students from both Smithtown High School
East and Smithtown High School West.
Although their DECA Community Service Project
is now over, these ambitious young ladies have
vowed to continue their campaign of community
service within Smithtown High School East and will
remain strong supporters of the Smithtown Children’s Foundation. We wish the girls the best of luck in California
and congratulate them on this prestigious honor.

take days or weeks to manifest, it is
easy to be fooled into thinking that
you are not as injured as you really
are.
Too often people don’t seek
treatment following a car accident
because they don’t feel hurt. By far,
the most common injury to the
neck is a whiplash injury.
Whiplash, also referred to as a hyperextension/hyperflexion injury, is
a term used to describe injuries to
the cervical spine in which the head
is forcefully projected backwards
and then forwards or from side to
side. This forceful movement results in the damage to the supporting ligaments, muscles and other
connective tissues in the neck and
upper back. although it is most
commonly associated with rear-end
auto collisions, it may be a result of
any activity that causes
these forceful movements.
The symptoms of
whiplash may be immediate
or occur several days afterwards. a variety of symptoms can be experienced;
muscle spasms, headaches,
shoulder/neck pain, nausea,
blurred vision, ringing in the
ears, dizziness, restricted
range of motion and numbness. Unfortunately, by the
time more serious complications develop, some of the damage
from the injury may have become
permanent. The physical damage of
whiplash can become chronic and
affect the quality of one’s life.
numerous studies have shown
that years after whiplash victims
settle their insurance claims;
roughly half of them state that they
still suffer with symptoms from
their injuries. if you have been in a

you escaped injury if you are not
currently in pain. Early intervention can help by overcoming muscle weakness, promote healing,
enhance muscle tone and restore
normal strength and stability to
joint structures. Chiropractic care
can be an effective treatment for
whiplash and in many cases significantly reduces patients’ distress and
allows them to return to normal activities.

INVESTING WITH INTEGRITY, RIGOR & DISCIPLINE
Gold Miner Primer
by
richard
Masino
If you
like buying value,
then you
will have
to get
comfortable with
the idea of buying what no one
else wants. And as I write, no
one wants to own shares in precious metals stocks. The
Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index
(the XAU) which tracks mining
shares has been smashed back to
1996 levels. Meanwhile the
price of gold bullion has moved
spectacularly over that period
from $388 per ounce to $1557
today (APRIL 3).
This data can be interpreted in
several ways: 1) if you want to
benefit from a potential rise in
gold prices then own gold bullion or some derivative equivalent or 2) the poor action in the
miners is foreshadowing a de-
cline in bullion prices or 3) the
miners have deviated massively
from their historical relationship
to gold prices and if you believe
in mean reversion, then miners
may be a unique opportunity. For those inclined to learn
more about stocks related to the
mining sector, here’s a brief
primer on how one might think
about sorting through the myriad
of publicly traded companies: 1. Exploration & Development
Stage – These tend to be smaller
companies (referred to as “juniors”) that are doing their geology work to find gold deposits,
going through the permitting
process and eventually building
the mine. Then investors will
hope that one day before the
company runs out of money,
enough gold is produced to actually start generating a return. This
is perhaps the riskiest corner of
the mining industry. However, if
you get it right, the returns can
be enormous. 2. Producers – These are the

companies that actually have
gold production and so their
share prices tend to be a bit
more stable than the juniors.
Though it should be stated that
anything related to gold mining
is inherently volatile. And of
course like any commodity producer, these companies must
also maintain an exploration and
development pipeline to replenish existing mines which have a
finite amount of resource to be
extracted.
3. Prospect Generators –
This is a very interesting business
model. The prospect generator
uses its intellectual capital to
find worthwhile projects to develop. But rather than take on
the costs and risk associated with
mine construction, it partners
(usually with a senior or mid-tier
producer) who accepts all those
headaches. This allows the
prospect generator to build a robust portfolio of development
projects. With some good fortune and execution, profitable continued on facing page

things just may happen and with less risk.
4 Royalty Companies – Here we have another
very interesting business model. Let’s say a development stage company makes a discovery and
wants to build-out the mine. Rather than go to the
debt markets to raise capital or dilute existing
shareholders through an equity offering, management will do a deal with a royalty company. The
royalty company puts up the cash to finance the
project and in return they will receive a contracted
amount of gold at a fixed price. So for example, if
the deal is struck at fixed price of $500 per ounce
and the spot price for gold is $1500, then the royalty company makes a tidy spread of $1,000 per
ounce. And since the royalty company is unaffected by rising labor or operating costs, it has potentially huge upside leverage to the commodity
price.
In closing I would just say that given the precarious nature of the world backdrop in conjunction
with rampant money-printing, gold related ideas
make sense to me. However; diversification,
proper position size and selectivity will be absolutely essential to those who wade into the miners. Editor’s Note:

MONEY MATTERS:
Retirement, Succession Plans:
“Must Haves” for Business Owners
by scott Posner, CFP,
CrPC, a.a.M.s.
If you own a business, you
may well follow a “do it now”
philosophy – which is, of course,
necessary to keep things running
smoothly. Still, you also need to
think about tomorrow – which
means you’ll want to take action
on your own retirement and
business succession plans. Fortunately, you’ve got some
attractive options in these areas.
For example, you could choose a
retirement plan that offers at
least two key advantages: potential tax-deferred earnings and a
wide array of investment options.
Plus, some retirement plans
allow you to make tax-deductible contributions.
In selecting a retirement plan,
you’ll need to consider several
factors, including the size of your
business and the number of employees. If your business has no
full-time employees other than
yourself and your spouse, you
may consider a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan or an
owner-only 401(k), sometimes
known as an individual or solo
401(k). Or, if your goal is to contribute as much as possible, you
may want to consider an owneronly defined benefit plan.
If you have employees, you
might want to investigate a SIMPLE IRA or even a 401(k) plan.
Your financial advisor, working
with plan design professionals
and your tax advisor, can help
you analyze the options and
choose the plan that fits with
your combined personal and
business goals.
Now, let’s turn to business succession plans. Ultimately, your
choice of a succession plan strategy will depend on many factors,
such as the value of your business, your need for the proceeds
from the sale of the business for
your retirement, your successor,
and how well your business can
continue without you. If your
goal is to keep the business
within the family, you’ll need to
consider how much control you
wish to retain (and for how long),
whether you wish to gift or sell,
how you balance your estate
among your heirs, and who can
reasonably succeed you in running the business.
Many succession planning
techniques are available, including an outright sale to a third
party, a sale to your employees
or management (at once or over
time), or the transfer of your
business within your family
through sales or gifts during your
life, at your death or any combination thereof.
Many succession plans include a buy-sell agreement.
Upon your death, such an agreement could allow a business
partner or a key employee to buy
the business from your surviving
spouse or whoever inherits your
business interests. To provide the
funds needed for the partner or
employee (or even one of your
children) to purchase the business, an insurance policy could
be purchased.
Your estate plan – including
your will and any living trust –
should address what happens
with the business, in case you
still own part or all of it at your
death. The best-laid succession
plans may go awry if the unexpected occurs.
All these business succession
options can be complex, so before choosing any of them, you
will need to consult with your
legal and financial advisors. Whether it’s selecting a retirement plan or a succession strategy, you’ll want to take your time
and make the choices that are
appropriate for your individual
situation.
You work extremely hard to
run your business – so do whatever it takes to help maximize
your benefits from it.

Estate Planning Means Planning Ahead
by lisa haber, Esq.
The issue of how to plan for
distribution of your hard earned
assets deserves your attention in
order to guarantee that your
wishes will be reflected without
great expense, complications or
delay. Everybody wants to have a
say in what will happen to his or
her property upon death – who
will get it, how much of it will be
taxed and so forth. For some
people, setting up an estate plan
may also include strategies, such
as setting up trusts that will reduce the amount of taxes that
have to be paid during their lifetime or upon their death.
Unless you have a properly
prepared, signed and witnessed
Will, New York State law will determine the distribution of your
assets upon your death. This law
is called the law of Intestacy.
Many people mistakenly believe
that when a married person with
children dies without a will, the
surviving spouse gets all the
property. THIS IS UNTRUE. In
New York, the surviving spouse
will receive the first $50,000. of
the estate, plus one-half of the
residue, with the balance divided
equally between the surviving
children. If any child is under 18
years of age at the time of the
parent’s death, such child’s inheritance will be placed in a
guardianship account. Even if the
surviving spouse is appointed
guardian by the Court, prior approval of the Court will be necessary to pay for expenses such
as the child’s education, clothing
or living costs. An annual accounting of income and expenses will be required. Having
a properly prepared Last Will
and Testament will prevent this
potential nightmare.
Another very important reason
to have a will prepared is so that
the parents can select a guardian
for their minor children in the
event of the death of both parents. Without a will, the Court
determines who will raise your
children.

are also essential to the planning
process. They are the Living Will,
Health Care Proxy, and Power of
Attorney.
The Living Will enables you to
provide instructions as to the use
of life-sustaining treatment in the
event you are terminally ill or
suffering from an illness or injury
with no chance of recovery.
A Health Care Proxy enables
the person of your choice to
make any and all health care decisions for you in the event you
are incapable of making them
yourself. The proxy can provide
for specific instructions as to any
and all medical treatment.
These documents can save
your family unnecessary grief
and anguish in the event you become permanently unconscious
with no expectation of recovery.
In essence, these documents can
aid your family in convincing a
doctor or hospital to end life
support. The alternative is to
apply to the Court to direct the
doctor or hospital to withhold
treatment. This is obviously a
costly, time consuming and
painful alternative.
costs.
These planning tools should
be discussed with a competent
attorney since each document
has specific requirements and
execution formalities. Both you
and your loved ones can be protected with proper planning.
In future articles we will discuss different areas of interest. A Power of Attorney permits
the person of your choice to act
on your behalf regarding financial decision making. This will
avoid the need for Court intervention in order to access your
bank accounts and/or pay bills in
the event you are unable to do
so.
It may also be a crucial tool to
enable a person in need of nursing home care to qualify for
Medicaid – thus saving thousands of dollars in health care

Our Wonderful Microbiome
by Pamela Browne keane, r.Ph.
For many years our lower intestines have been associated
with trouble rather then advantage. Many products in the marketplace advocate the benefit of
colon cleansing. In the western
world, during the early to mid
20th century, there was a firm
belief that a good “cleaning out”
would solve many common
health issues. New knowledge is
completely changing this view. Our digestive system contains
trillions of microorganisms
whose role has been poorly understood. We know that they are
necessary, but why? Two years
ago a scientific paper was published identifying the basic outline of the living cells in our gut.
This system has been labeled the
Microbiome. It turns out that the
basic mixture of microorganisms
comes in three types which are
not associated with race or ethnicity. What are they associated
with? Well, being human for one
but probably diet as well although this remains to be
proven. The discovery of the Microbiome validates the theory
that the appendix is an emergency laboratory for replacing
components of the Microbiome
that were lost due to stress, disease or starvation in prehistoric
man. It would also seem to point
to the human Microbiome being
considered an organ system in its
own right. Medical science has
not established this yet but will
most likely do this in our lifetime.
Why is this important? Two recent discoveries have shown the
connection between how we
handle our food and the state of
the Microbiome. The first concerned children in Africa who
were suffering from a severe
form of malnutrition called Kwashiorkor syndrome. These children were given the standard
WHO diet containing enriched
peanut butter1, short term antibiotics and a donation of good
bacteria. Some children did not
receive the bacteria. The group
that received all three did
markedly better then the control
group. The measured endpoints
were more weight gain and
greater survival.
The second discovery was just
published recently and concerns
weight loss in obese patients.
This experiment was very basic
and was done in a mouse model
that should mimic the human
model. Scientists were curious to

debate about our food choices
goes well beyond “organic” and
“processed.” I mean chocolate is
natural but you can not live off
chocolate alone (I bet some are
willing to try). Whole grain bread
from a commercial baker (a fixture of modern living) is certainly
more efficient then baking at
home. These food choices effect
the health, balance and well
being of our microbiota which in
turn seems to play a role in our
health. Having a high fiber diet
increases the volume of water in
our intestines both improving
transit time and supplying water

increases the type of food available for our microbiota thereby

gastric bypass surgery. They
found that the surgery not only
restricts the quantity of food consumed but also changes the individual microbiota of the patient
involved. When bacteria was
transferred from the mice who
had the surgery to special mice
who had no bacteria in their gut,
these mice also lost weight on a
regular diet.
With changes in diet and life

are changing their microbiota as
well as their major organ systems. We have cars and public
transportation, so we no longer

worldwide population has access

thing) but a lot of that food has
increasing its efficiency. Probiotics can play a strong role in
supporting and defining a well
balanced Microbiota. Perhaps
with future research we can

they will play in supporting a
healthy digestive system.

Physical Therapist’s Guide to Meniscal Tears
by rich Greco, Pt, atC, CsCs
tPI Certified Golf Fitness
Instructor
What is a Meniscal Tear?
The meniscus is a rubbery, Cshaped piece of cartilage that
cushions your knee. Each of your
knees has two menisci, one on
the inner (medial) part of the
knee, and the other on the outer
(lateral) part. Together they act to
absorb shock and stabilize the
knee joint.
A meniscal tear typically is
caused by twisting or turning
quickly on a bent knee, often
with the foot planted on the
ground. Although meniscal tears
are common in those who play
contact sports, anyone at any age
can tear a meniscus. When people talk about having torn cartilage in their knee, they usually
are talking about a meniscal tear.
Signs and Symptoms
When you tear a meniscus,
you might:
• Feel a sharp, intense pain in
the knee area
• Feel a "pop" or a tearing sensation
• Have difficulty walking because of pain or a “catching”
sensation
• Have difficulty straightening
the knee
• Experience swelling
How Physical Therapy
Can Help?
Meniscal injuries often can be
managed without surgery. A
short course of treatment can
help determine whether your
knee will recover without surgery. Physical Therapy plays an
important role by controlling
pain and swelling and by restoring full strength and mobility to
your knee.
To control pain and swelling,
your PT may use ice and compression and will likely instruct
you in the use of these treatments at home. Swelling is an
important “guide” during your
rehabilitation and can indicate
when you are doing too much.
Your therapist will design special
exercises to maintain your
strength during recovery and
help restore full movement to the
knee. You will be given a home
program of exercises that are
specific to your condition.
As you recover, you will be
advised on ways to maintain
your fitness and activity level.
Your PT will help you decide
when you are ready to return to
full activity.
If You Need Surgery
A more serious meniscal tear
may need surgery. Surgically removing the torn cartilage (a procedure called a menisectomy)
usually is a simple procedure
that requires a brief course of
physical therapy treatment. Most
people are able to return to their
previous level of activity, including sports, in fewer than two
months.
Meniscus Removal
Following a simple menisectomy, your rehabilitation will
likely be similar to that for nonsurgical injuries. Your therapist
will use ice and compression to
control pain and swelling and
will show you how to use these
treatments at home. The focus
will be on helping you get back
your strength and movement
through special exercises performed in the clinic and at
home. Generally, you will need
to use crutches or a cane, but
only until you can walk without
pain or a limp.
Meniscus Repair
Sometimes the surgeon will
decide that the torn meniscus
can be repaired, instead of removed. Research studies show
that if a meniscal repair is possible, the long-term outcome is
better than removal because the
repair can reduce the risk of
arthritis later in life.
Rehabilitation following a
meniscal repair is slower and
more extensive than with removal because the repaired tissue must be protected while it is
healing. The type of surgical
technique performed, the extent
of your injury, and the preferences of the surgeon often determine how quickly you will be
able to put weight on the leg,
stop using crutches, and return to
your previous activities.
After a meniscal repair, your
physical therapist will help you
control pain and swelling, help
restore your strength, and help
you regain full motion to the
knee as soon as it is safe to do
so. You’ll have a program of exercises to do at home, and this
program will be advanced as you
improve. A brace may be used to
help protect the repaired meniscus during the recovery phase.
These braces usually allow you
to fully straighten the knee but
will limit your ability to bend it
all the way, in order to prevent
stress to the repair.
Returning to Activity
Whether your torn meniscus
recovered on its own or required
surgery, physical therapy will
play an important role in helping
you return to your previous activities. If you are an athlete, you may
need a more extensive course of
rehabilitation. Your therapist will
help you fully restore your
strength, endurance, flexibility
and coordination to help maximize your return to sports and
prevent re-injury. Return to
sports varies greatly from one
person to the next and depends
upon the extent of the injury, the
specific surgical procedure, the
preference of the surgeon, and
the type of sport. Your therapist
will consider these factors when
progressing your rehabilitation
program and will work closely

What’s Been On Your Mind
What Mrs. Brady Knows That You May Not…
by ron villano, M.s.,
lMhC, asaC, CCh
What’s been on your mind?
Gotta quit smoking? Need to
relax and reduce your stress?
Fearful of spiders, or flying, or
going to the dentist, for example?
Or just know that you need a
boost in your life? More than
ever, people are reaching out to
hypnosis to awaken the power of
the mind to begin regaining
inner self control. If you’ve got a
goal that has been escaping you
for awhile, it’s time to try something new.
Hypnosis and the hypnotic
“trance” is perhaps one of the
most relaxing times that you can
have. Similar to meditation, hypnosis allows the busy working
mind to settle down to allow the
deeper thinking mind to feel

your inner strength and begin to
re-build your inner motivation to
stay on track. I like to call it a
feeling of “active rest” where
your body feels good enough to
enjoy a moment to relax so
much that all you want to do is
just listen. And that is where hypnosis begins.
And what is it that you are listening to? Your goals, your
thoughts, and all the positive reinforcement you need to hear.
The message that your deep
thinking mind wants to tell the
active “all-over-the-place” conscious mind but just can’t seem
to make the connection. Hypnosis works when you are ready to
fully embrace the idea, ready to
hear the words, and ready to
reach your goal for yourself.
Imagine how powerful it will

feel to regain your own inner self
control. That’s what hypnosis is
more about – most feel that you
will “lose” control but it is completely the other way around.
While in the hypnotic trance,
you have full control of everything – you can move, cough,
clear your throat – anything that
you would normally do. Hypnosis is not sleep; but the amazing
part is that when you are brought
back to the full awareness, you
will feel like you have just taken
the best power nap of your life.

Brady (from the Brady Bunch –
Florence Henderson) is a hypnotist. And countless number of

New Year
by Dr. linda M. Bocchichio
Are you a creature of habit?
There is nothing wrong with that
as long as your habits are good
ones! Motivation for self-improvement comes with a healthy
respect. Affecting a lasting
change happens one step at a
time.
Start with knowing yourself
and being realistic about how
much change you can accomplish at this time in your life.
Choose one new habit, write it
down. Make a sign for the fridge,
and talk to supportive friends.
Make it a focus for a while until
it becomes an old habit. You may
need to break it down into simple achievable steps and design
a plan for each of those smaller,
more manageable steps. When
deciding to stop a bad habit, fill
the void with a good habit. Think
through your recovery plan so
N O T E S
New Beginning
Changing Ways
that if you relapse you will be
more likely to get back on track
with your plan to change your
ways.
one thing at a time:
A manageable plan.... plus a
supportive environment.... plus a
strategy for handling relapses....
equals a new improved you in
the new year!

Spring, Where Art’ Thou?
Lucky Me
by John Taratunio, Fairfield Condos
by David F. McKell
st. Patrick’s Day has come and gone
and the Easter Bunny dropped by too.
so where is all the balmy weather,
that is usually here for me and you?
I was told, if I threw a coin in the fountain
I was entitled to a wish
so I threw a coin in the fountain
and I hit and killed a fish
Maybe good ole, Mother nature
has decided to slow down a bit.
But when she decides what will be done
all things will fall into place and fit.
When I went to Ireland
to kiss the Blarney stone
I was feeling good, until,
I tripped and broke my funny bone
still this unexpected delay in spring
Is completely non-conforming.
For quite a long time all I have heard
Is about the threat of “Global Warming!”
to say I’m superstitious
May not be far from true
that’s why I wear around my neck
a solid gold horseshoe
of course this comes from the tv crews,
Which includes the “Weather Man.”
Who rarely hits the “nail on the head,”
Even though he’s forecasting the best he can.
I don’t have to walk under a ladder
or avoid a cat that’s black
I just look into a mirror
and suddenly there’s a crack
But to me his predictions are very chancy,
Just like betting on “racing jockeys.”
that is why on the following day, you can hear him say
It all changed “because the wind blew off the rockies.”
so you can understand if I feel lucky
When I get out of bed
and make it to the door
Without falling on my head
Perhaps our best bet is just to say a prayer,
and ask from the good lord above
to provide sunshine and weather quite fair,
For all of us and those whom we love!

17th Annual Spring Egg Hunt Was A Hopping Success
The St. James Chamber of
Commerce’s 17th annual Spring
Egg Hunt was EGG-citing with
children hopping down to Deepwells Farm County Park in St.
James on Saturday, March 30,
2013. The weather couldn’t have
been better and with the sun
shining, over 750 children, along
with their families, turned out for
this annual event. 4,000 eggs,
many with special prizes, were
scattered in the field at Deepwells.
Megan Shutka, while working
towards her Girl Scout Gold
Award, initiated the idea of the
Spring Egg Hunt for children 1 to
10 years of age. In the past she
has come back from college and
the U.S. Navy to officiate over
the event. For a number of years
Megan was unable to attend as
she was serving our country
overseas. However, this year we
were blessed to have her home
and take over the post of the
Easter Bunny, greeting all the
children with candy and posing
for pictures.

James Martin Keane
James Martin Keane
passed away on March 10,
2013 surrounded by his
beloved family in Nesconset,
NY from complications of
multiple myeloma at the age
of 80. He is survived by his
wife Geraldine; children Patricia (Christopher) Guercio,
Jennifer (Joseph) McSweeney, and James
(Michelle) Keane. Loving
Poppy to nine grandchildren
Stephanie, Matthew, Caitlin, James Martin Keane
Christina, Kelly, Megan, Erin,
Kaylee and Jenna. Loving brother of Patrick (Marie)
Keane and pre-deceased by sister Helen (Shaun) O’Sullivan.
Jim was born in the Bronx and served in the U.S.
Navy as an Electrician Mate for four years aboard the
USS Midway during the Korean War. After being honorably discharged he embarked on a career in television communications. He was employed by a company named Chyron,
where he became the Vice President of Engineering.
Jim was a great friend to everyone he knew and a
mentor to anyone who sought his guidance. He developed Chyron 3, a leading-edge, small graphics system that expanded sports production graphics
capabilities, advancing graphics for baseball, football,
basketball and many other events. He was a leader in
the development effort of breakthrough system – the
Chyron 4, which revolutionized graphics on television.
As an outstanding leader, he stood up for his people
and was always very supportive. He had strong opinions, and was never afraid to voice them. In addition
he was very competitive, whether at racquetball, tennis or the chessboard. He enjoyed the competition,
but never took the result personally either way; another life lesson.
After leading the Chyron 4 project, which turned
into the most lucrative and industry-changing graphics
product Chyron ever built, Jim became head of International Marketing. He traveled internationally
throughout Europe, South America, Asia and the Middle East. Within a year or two, international revenue
became a major portion of Chyron’s income, all due
to Jim’s efforts.
Jim always took the time to learn about the history
of where he was headed, take in the sights and enjoy
wherever he was. He worked closely on developing
foreign language capabilities for the Chyron systems.
Since he did not understand any of the languages, it
was an interesting challenge, but Jimmy’s insight and
thoughtfulness helped the company through some
frustrating issues. In the end, it turned into a very successful product for Chyron.
After Chyron, Jim joined NBC, where he worked on
many projects and challenges. He set the philosophy
and approach to NBC’s new on-air operations. In
1996, the idea was mostly a dream. But Jim had the
insight to understand that changing the process was
as important, if not more so, than changing the technology. It placed NBC ahead of its competitors by almost a decade. His counsel, advice and guidance on
everything from technology to management, were
highly valued and sought after.
He remained physically and intellectually active
until the end of his life. He was an immensely capable, warm, articulate man with an endless reserve of
humor, and will be deeply missed by all who knew
him.
A religious service was celebrated at St. Patrick’s
R.C. Church, Smithtown, NY. Interment followed at
Pinelawn Memorial Park.

His home was his
‘castle’ and that’s
where he wanted to
be. He was a great
family man and the
hard working devoted husband of
Josephine. Great father to Clara, Phyllis,
Peter and Anna. Father-in-law to John
and Louis. Grandfather to Matthew,
Vanessa, Michael,
Anthony J. Spadafino
Mark, Olivia, Petie,
Louis and Anthony. He was lucky enough to even be
a great grandfather to baby Olivia.
We miss him dearly and only hope he is surrounded
by his family in heaven and finally eating again. “love
you dad!”
Mr. Spadafino, owner of St. James Pasta and Pork,
reposed at St. James Funeral Home’s South Chapel. A
Funeral Mass was held at Sts. Philip & James R.C.
Church in St. James on February 18, 2013. Interment
followed at St. James Episcopal Cemetery.
