Art Gallery Celebrates 1st Year Anniversary
With an Artist Reception
The Calderone Theater Gallery
of Fine Art, located at 176 Second Avenue in St. James, is
pleased to present a group exhibition of new works, featuring
Gallery artists, with an opening
reception on Saturday, November 7, 2015 from 7-9:30 p.m. it is appropriate that we celebrate the arts in the very building, built in 1910, that
performing artists like Lionel Barrymore and many of his contemporaries took to the stage – when
Vaudeville was all the rage. One
of the architectural features that
made this theater special is the
stunning tin ceiling that can be
seen in the Gallery. The ceiling
was retained during the renovation in 1985, when Natalie and
Bernie Weinstein lovingly restored the Calderone Theater and
started their design business
here.
Six Gallery artists will be featured in the show: Jack Ader,
Martha Applegate, Arline Goldstein, Richard Merkel, Donna
Rollins and Mary Ann Vetter.
t
h
e
Ms. Applegate’s landscapes take the viewer into
a fantasy world with color
and shapes. Ms. Rollins’
work is inspired by the
beaches and everyday life
on Long island and the
landscape of Coney island.
Mr. Merkel finds his inspiration in the animal kingdom, with his paintings of
dogs, tigers and leopards.
Ms.Goldstein’s work takes
us through a blue period
with still lifes, and her line drawings on paper, go in a different
direction as she sees the world
around her. Mr. Ader’s photographs startle us with his eye for
composition, i.e.“ Fulton Fish
Market,” and many other photos
in the exhibit. This exhibition reveals six
artists interpreting the world
around them. Each different from
one another, realistically and impressionistically.
The artists will be present at
the Reception and will be delighted to discuss their work.

Retired Suffolk County
Fire Rescue and Emergency Services Commissioner
Completes International Professional
Re-designation Process
Retired Commissioner
David Fischler of the Suffolk
County Department of Fire
Rescue and Emergency Services and the former Chief of
the St. James Fire Department has successfully completed the process that
awards him the professional
re-designation of Chief Fire
Officer (CFO). The Commission on the Professional Credentialing met on August 26, 2015 to officially
confer the re-designation upon Chief Fischler. Chief
Fischler is one of only 1,090 CFOs worldwide.
The Chief Fire Officer Designation program is a
voluntary program designed to recognize individuals
who demonstrate their excellence in seven meas-
ured components including: experience, education,
professional development, professional contributions, association memberships, community involvement and technical competencies. Chief Fischler
received his original designation on August 20,
2003. To maintain the designation, individuals need
to show that they have continued to develop as a
CFO in four areas: professional development, professional contributions, active association membership and community involvement.
A Board of Review, consisting of members of the
fire and emergency services profession, academia,
and municipal services, review each application and
recommends successful candidates for designation
as a CFO.
Chief Fischler served Suffolk County for over 28
years and the St. James Fire Department for 43 years.

Should Women Serve in Combat Roles?
by Xanthia Zoe
The question of whether
women should serve in combat
is a question that has presented
itself numerous times throughout
history. Dating back to 1848,
women have been fighting for
equal rights, and winning, but
this question seems to test the
works of brave ladies such as
Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony,
and Matilda Joslyn Gage. if you were to ask 10 people
on the street this question, it is
guaranteed each one will have a
different opinion about the topic.
Many people will say “yes” because women are strong and capable and can do anything they
set their minds to, but some will
say “no,” because it is too dangerous and risky for women
and they would be unable to
handle it. John Rodriguez, a Herbert
Scoville Jr. peace fellow
at the Truman Center for
National Policy, feels that
women deserve a spot in
combat roles and discusses why women should be
allowed to serve, based
upon personal experiences he has had.
Rodriguez talks about
two women, Kristen Griest and Shaye Haver, who
have proved to those who
say “no,” that they should
be saying “yes.” Rodriguez, who went
through the same training
as these women says that,
“through physically and
mentally grueling patrols,
they earned the trust and
respect of their peers,
who evaluated them continued on facing page

continued
along with the instructors. i
know because i graduated from
Ranger School in 2007 as a
young infantry lieutenant. Earning my tab paved the way for me
to lead an infantry platoon in
combat – a path currently denied
to women.” He feels that these women,
and any other woman who
chooses to, should be allowed to
have a role in combat if they
pass all of the required steps.
There is no reason to deny anyone the option of fighting if they
are capable and willing.
Rodriguez uses the strategies
of ethos and pathos, appealing to
ethics and emotions of people,
to persuade his audience that
women should no longer be denied the right to have a role in
combat if they so choose to. “Griest and Haver clearly have
the physical, mental and tactical
skills to perform in the infantry;
they could not have earned their
tabs otherwise.” He uses a serious, but gentle tone to make a
clear and concise argument that,
“Opening [combat options] permanently to the best soldiers, regardless of gender, will be a net
positive for the Army.”
His strategies have proven
most effective in this argument
because he speaks from the
heart, letting you get a more personal experience, especially because he went through the same
things that these two women did,
and from a male soldier’s perspective, proves to his readers
that women are just as capable,
strong, and driven as men, and
deserve to do what they want.
Rodriguez, along with many
others, feels that women should
be allowed to do as they please,
even to have a role in combat, if
it benefits the army in a positive
way. There is no reason women
should be denied the right to
protect our country if they so
choose to.
T H E
N E W S
Women have proven throughout history that they are just as
capable as men to do anything
they set their minds to, so why
set history back 100 years? Let
women have a role in combat.

LIVES, LOVES, AND LAMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF ST. JAMES
The Descendants of William Wickham Mills II Make a Gift
of the Mills Pond House to the People of Smithtown
by Bradley harris,
smithtown historian
I have been writing about
william wickham Mills II and
the magnificent Greek revival
Mansion that he built from
1838-1841 at Mills Pond. he
was to live in this house from
1841 until his death in 1865, a
period of time when william
wickham Mills became one of
the most prominent men in suffolk county.

the Mills Pond House in 1895. All five of the Smith children are in the
photograph: Malcolm elsworth, edmund Thomas, Josephine elsworth,
Frances Mildred, and Dorothy Miller.
of a larger report, “Adaptive
Reuse Report” of the Mills Pond
House prepared for the Smithtown Arts Center in 1977.)
To enhance the beauty of his
new home, Mills “purchased numerous fruit trees and other ornamentals from Wm. R. Prince
and Co. of Flushing, L.i. in
1847.” Mills ordered “two or
three specimens each of, among
others, European and American
Mountain Ash, Spanish and
White Horse Chestnut, American
Elm and Cypress, Catalpa, European Alder, Sugar Maple, and

many varieties of plum, pear and
apple trees. Some of these original plantings have been identified on the grounds” of the Mills
Pond House today. “in addition
to the unusual trees which were
planted for their romantic and
aesthetic effect,” Mills had “extensive orchards on his homestead farm” with over a thousand
apple trees, “in prime order, and
many of them of the best grafted
fruit.” (Zachary Studenroth, op.
cit., p. 25.)

The Mills Pond House was
completed in 1840 and William
Wickham and Eliza Mills moved
with their eight children into
their new home. Their ninth
child, Josephine, would be born
in the house on April 18, 1842.
The big house with 34 rooms
was rapidly filled by members of
the Mills family and their domestic servants. The large house was
impressive and “the creation of
such a house in a rural Long island community in 1838/40 was
a considerable task and served to
underscore Mills’ prominence.”
The house “is the earliest, documented architect-designed structure in the vicinity, a fact that
certainly escaped no one’s
awareness at the time.” (Zachary
Studenroth, “Historical Analysis
of Mills Pond,” Part 2, p. 21; part
– 43 –
continued
covered the mansion and its dependencies, we know that the
house had an attached kitchen, a
washhouse, a barn with “cowhouses attached,” a carriage
house, and a cider house that
“once stood at the edge of the
pond.” (The barns and cowhouses that stood to the west of
the house were standing in 1977
but are gone now.) Other than
these outbuildings, “there was no
other dwelling within eight rods
of the house.” Although the
house that Mills built was quite
large, the supporting dependencies were modest in size. Even
so, Mildred Smith, William
Wickham Mills’ great grandchild,
described him in the following
way:
“He was one of the most
prominent men in Suffolk Co.,
known as a man of great discretion, of sound judgment in the
management of his varied interests, and one of the largest and
most successful farmers and
stock breeders on Long island.” if
this was true, Mills must have relied upon tenants to work his
lands and raise his stock. He
owned over 1,750 acres of land
and he depended upon the income from his lands, as well as
his “investments,” to sustain his
house and family. The fact that
William Wickham Mills’ estate at
the time of his death “was valued
at about $400,000, excluding
land,” shows that he derived a
substantial return on his properties and investments. (Zachary
Studenroth, op. cit., p. 27-29.)
in addition to being a wealthy
man and an extensive land
owner, William Wickham Mills
was a man of social prominence
within the Smithtown community. in 1838, when he was
building his new home at Mills
Pond, Mills was nominated for
Smithtown Supervisor. He was
elected and served as Supervisor
from 1838 to 1841. “He was also
one of the first officers of” the S P E A K I N G
St. James Episcopal Church when
it was founded in 1853. As far as
Mildred Smith was concerned,
her great grandfather Mills’ involvement in town government
and in the Episcopal Church
show that he was a man who
was “always entrusted in what-
ever pertained to the public good
and his influence was ever on
the side of right and that which
tended to promote the welfare of
the community.” (Zachary Studenroth, op. cit., p. 28.) continued on following page

A Gift of the Mills Pond House
William Wickham Mills died
suddenly on January 6, 1865. He
was 69 years old at the time of
his death which seems to have
been caused by “a cold.” His
wife, Eliza, “inherited the use of
the homestead farm and the interest from a trust of $50,000
during her lifetime.” Each of the
Mills eight children “received an
equal share of the balance” of
their father’s estate, except for
Theodore (2nd son) who received a trust fund of $20,000
and Oscar (the 4th son) who received a trust fund of $15,000.
“Mrs. Mills was in poor health at
the time of her husband’s death”
and she passed away “on July 9,
1865, at the age of sixty-four, six
months” after her husband’s
death. “The estate was still unsettled, and her death only
served to aggravate a long standing animosity amongst the children.” Mrs. Mills had “drawn up
her own will” in February of
1865 and her will gave $3,000
to Washington Mills (the eldest
son), $1,000 to Theodore (2nd
son), $3,000 to William Wick-

ham Jr. (the 3rd son), and $3,000
to Oscar (the 4th son). “The
residue was divided equally
among the other four” children –
Amanda, Horatio W., Wilfred J.
and Josephine – and Amanda’s
husband, Edmund Thomas Smith.
This will was immediately challenged by Washington and
William Wickham Jr. who felt
their mother did not give them
their rightful share. The chal-

lengers lost their case in court
and the will was upheld. The estates of William Wickham Mills
and Eliza Mills were divided according to their wishes. (Zachary
Studenroth, op. cit., pp. 30-31.)
The Mills family home was inherited by Amanda, Horatio W.,
Wilfred J., and Josephine.
Amanda and her husband were
living in their own home in Nissequogue. Horatio, Wilfred, and
Josephine shared the Mills Pond
home, until Horatio died in
1880, and Josephine died in
1888. Then the house became
the “sole possession of Amanda
Mills Smith.” Amanda and Edmund Thomas Smith had three
children: Minnie, b. June 21,
1850; E. DuBois, b. June 26,
1854; and another son, Wickham Mills, who died in infancy.
“E. DuBois presumably began
residency at Mills Pond shortly
after his marriage to Frances
Amelia Elsworth on Feb. 22,
1881.” E. DuBois Smith became
“a realtor with offices in New
York City” and “speculated in
Long island real estate” and
“continued with extensive stock
breeding on the farm.” E. DuBois
and his wife, Frances, had five
children: Edmund Thomas, Malcolm Elsworth, Josephine continued on page 46

Elsworth, Frances Mildred and
Dorothy Miller. E. DuBois Smith
was 73 when he died at Mills
Pond on December 11, 1927; his
wife continued to live in the
house at Mills Pond until her
death on February 7, 1939. The
Mills Pond House and “property
then passed to their five children.” (Zachary Studenroth, op.
cit., pp. 33-34.)
Of the five children,
“Josephine (b. December 15,
1884) and Frances Mildred (b.
May 3, 1886) remained unmarried and continued to live at
Mills Pond.” Their siblings “conveyed their interests in the property” by deed to Josephine and
Frances. “Josephine and Frances
Mildred Smith led a comparatively quiet life at Mills Pond, the
former operating a small catering
business at the house, and the
latter becoming active in the
Smithtown Historical Society
after founding it in 1955. When
Josephine died on October 10
1969, her share of the property
was bequeathed to her nephews
Edward H. L. Smith, Jr., William
Wickham Mills Smith, and
DuBois Tangier Smith (sons of
her sister, Dorothy Miller, who
had married a Smith)” with a life
estate given to her sister, Frances
Mildred Smith. When Frances
Mildred died on March 16,
1972, her will bequeathed “her
share of the property to the same
nephews.” (Zachary Studenroth,
op. cit., pp. 34-35.) The three “Smith brothers
(great-great-grandsons of William
Wickham Mills ii) conveyed the
The Wash House at Mills Pond, c. 1940.
house and 2.85 acres of land to
the Town of Smithtown in May of
1976 as a memorial to their
aunts; the Town acquired about
three contiguous acres in December of the same year, bringing the property to a total of 6.12
acres including part of the pond
itself. The Town acquired the
house and grounds with the intention that community organizations such as the Smithtown
Township Arts Council would
occupy the property as an artsrelated facility.” And now, almost 40 years later, the Town of
Smithtown leases the Mills Pond
House to the Smithtown Arts
Council which uses the house
and property as a multi-purpose
arts facility. The best part of this
arrangement is that the Mills
Pond House and its surrounding
property will remain as a testament to William Wickham Mills
ii’s vision of how a simple country estate in Smithtown ought to
look. And we get a portal into
the past of 18th century life.

Seiskaya Ballet's Nutcracker at the Staller Center
December 18-21
The Seiskaya Ballet’s nutcracker has become a perennial
holiday favorite on Long island.
This year’s staging of the nutcracker is again scheduled for six
performances: December 18-21,
2015 at Stony Brook university’s
Staller Center for the Arts.
This classical ballet rendition
has earned praise from critics
and audiences alike. Newsday
called the production, “EnchantInG,” “Polished,”
“...child friendly - a storyteller’s
nutcracker...” And in another
Newsday article the reviewer
gushed: “...lavish... and ...sumptuous...” Other reviewers proclaimed it: “...glorious...
Dazzling... extraordinary...” The
cast will be led by guest artist
Nick Coppula (Cavalier) formerly
with the Pittsburgh Ballet plus
guest artist Nick
Coppula will partner
Seiskaya ballet principal
dancer Alexandra Palma in
the elegant Sugar Plum
Pas de Deux.
Seiskaya’s award-winning principal dancer Alexandra Palma with
1st soloists Jenna Lee, Natasha
Butkevich, Diana Atoian and Brianna Jimenez. The company’s 2015 nut-
cracker season should again garner praise. Judith H. Bernstein of
Newsday headlined her Seiskaya
Nutcracker review, “a Delicious
holiday confection for young
and old.” Reviewer Michelle isabelle-Stark entitled her review
“seiskaya’s nutcracker Is Dazzling and Breathtaking.” The
Seiskaya Ballet’s nutcracker is
considered Long island’s premier
nutcracker production.
Don’t miss the production that
Newsday described as “...a seasoned recipe for holiday
cheer” and the New York Times
praised as “lavish.” Tickets are
on sale now at the Staller Center
Box Office at (631) 632-ARTS
and at
www.nutcrackerballet.com. Attended Box Office hours are continued on page 104

Beth Levine:
The First Lady of Shoes
This exhibition celebrating the
visionary shoe designer, Beth
Levine (1914-2006) includes a
wide array of iconic footwear,
photographs, paintings, memorabilia, illustrations, accessories,
film footage and artifacts from
public and private collections relating to Levine's early life on a
farm in Long island through her
ascent to the pinnacle of the
fashion world. More than almost
any single 20th century American designer, Levine revolutionized women’s footwear in what
was, at the time, a primarily
male-dominated industry. in addition to three First Ladies
(Jacqueline Kennedy, Pat Nixon,
Lady Bird Johnson, who chose
Levine’s shoes for their extreme
comfort), Beth’s clients included
Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner,
Barbra Streisand, Lauren Bacall,
Liz Minelli, and Cher. The boots
that Nancy Sinatra wore for her
1966 hit “these Boots are Made
for walkin’” were designed by
Beth. Levine collaborated with
designers including Halston, Geoffrey Beene, Bill Blass and designed all the footwear for Braniff
Airline’s flight attendants. Her
work is collected by many museums and individuals including
Christian Louboutin and Manolo
Blahnik.

chiropractic care and your Health
As a rising tide raises all
boats, regular chiropractic
care helps improve all aspects of your personal
health. this process occurs
owing to the fact that chiropractic care directly addresses the nerve system,
your body’s master system.
the nerve system conducts messages between
your brain and every other
organ, tissue, and cell in your
body. As a result, the proper
functioning of your cardiorespiratory, digestive, endocrine,
immune, and reproductive
systems depends on effective and timely reception and
transmission of information
from and to your brain.
By making sure your spine
is aligned, regular chiropractic care helps reduce and re-
move irritation to centrally located spinal nerves. regular
spinal alignment allows
spinal nerves to do their job

Knox School IEA Horse Show
On Sunday, October 5, 2015,
after a major storm, a community comes together at the Knox
School with a surprising turn out.
The annual Knox School iEA
Horse Show is a spectacle of
equestrians ready to show off
their hard work and riding skills. Lined up against the fence are
proud parents waiting to see the
outcome of their hard working
children on top of the beautiful
Knox horses. With eyes on the
ring and the judge ready to
score, there is an excitement in
the air. Rider 190 starts off with a
warm-up round followed by
careful execution of the jumping
course. The horse jumps effortlessly over the jump in the
warm-up; this action is done for
every horse and rider combination before officially being
judged. The patrons that gathered inside the Wm. Turner Shoemaker
Theatre were enticed by the parent’s association raffle and food
table with great prizes. Coach Townes, Director of
Athletics stated “i’m amazed
about the amount of riders and
equestrian patrons in attendance
which have such enthusiasm and
great energy.” Jennifer Christensen of the Knox Equestrian
Program says “i feel like it is a lot
of planning and work for the
horse show, but it’s worth it. The
riders are happy and the horses
are behaving and overall it is
turning into a really nice day.”
This annual iEA Knox School
OF ST. JAMES
Dr. Gary DiBenedetto
Horse Show had a great outcome
with proud riders and patrons. At
the end of the day Knox riders
took away seven 1st place ribbons along with 32 other high
placings. Overall, the Knox

the champions of the horse show
and the Knox School Middle

St. James, offers its students a plethora of clubs and activities. New to the offerings this school year is the
uNiCEF Club, founded by sophomore Kyle Persaud.
inspired by the need for aid to Syrian migrant children,
Kyle and his fellow club members held the first club
fundraiser of the 2015 school year, hosting a bake sale
at the school on Wednesday, September 30. uNiCEF saves and protects the world's most vulnerable children, working to ensure child rights and providing health care, immunizations, nutrition, access to
safe water and sanitation services, basic education,
protection and emergency relief. Led by President Kyle Persaud, the uNiCEF Club
holds weekly meetings to discuss the best way to give
back and lessen the tribulations of these children. Their
recent bake sale raised over $400 for Syrian migrant
children that are in poor living conditions with less
than adequate water and food. Service learning is an integral part of The Knox
School program, and there are multiple efforts to serve
others in the local community and globally going on
throughout each school year. Knox is a breeding
ground for kind hearts that are accepting of others and
always ready to help.

DESIGN IDEAS:
Revisit Your Home for Fall
by natalie
weinstein,
allied asID
One chilly
day, the
leaves cover
the lawn, and
the wake-up
call has arrived. Summer is truly gone and we begin
to look inward – to our homes
and to ourselves. So much to do
and so little time to get ready for
the holiday season and the
warmth, during a cold winter,
that our homes can provide. Out
come the candles, afghans and
decorations but for those who
are in the zone of renovation or
redecoration, now’s the time to
plan.
in my do-it-yourself decorating
work book, i advise everyone to
make a plan – and a plan. The
first plan is the “wish” and
“needs” list to get you where you
want to be. The second is an actual to-scale floor plan of your
room. The first plan will help you
budget wisely. The second will
allow you to see the space as it
can be, rather than what is existing. Each has an important function in reaching your goals and
both are necessary.
Now you need to contact the
people who will help you
achieve your goals – interior designer, architect, contractor,
banker, etc. Budget estimates
and advice along with a viable
time frame are essential. Check
references, and don’t necessarily
go with the lowest bidder. Remember how long it took to get
to this re-do. You don’t want to
have a “do-over” redo any time
soon!
Check out magazines and the
internet to find the look you like
– but be realistic. The high backs
on sofas and chairs and huge
window treatments in Architectural Digest will definitely not
make it in
your normal living
room with
its 8’ high
ceiling. in
other
words,
look to
your own
lifestyle
and home
to find the
décor that
works best
for you. Think
classic –
meaning
whatever
style(s)
you
choose,
make sure
it doesn’t
“say” 2015! Some color trends
and styles are not fashion, just
fads, and are too expensive to
dabble with. Think a decade
down the road. Will you still be
happy with your choices? Will it
still be the home you are proud
to invite guests to share with
you? Will you feel it might need
some tweaking, then, but not a
major re-do? Styles change (to
some degree) and your taste
might, but if the basics are good
and of good quality, your home
will transcend the test of time. So look for “the look”. Get the
best price – but don’t compromise quality. A bargain is not
something cheap. A bargain is
something worth more that you
got for less. Make your plan(s)
and create your budget but most
of all – get started! Clean up the
clutter and organize. Give away,
donate, or consign what might
still be good, but not for you.
Make room for the new and
don’t work around that white
elephant in the room. Pick up
the old rugs (there might even be
a wood floor under them). Try a
“new” neutral paint color and
open up the spaces so they can
breathe – and so can you!
Most of all – remind yourself
how important your home is to
you and your family. Take care of
it and it will give you years of
comfort and pleasure as well as
an example for your children to
follow in the years to come. Editor’s Note:

NATURALLY SPEAKING:
Enjoy the Beauty of the Season
by June a. liardi
The quieter days of September
and October are behind us now
and the busy, entertaining, visiting, shopping and decorating
days are before us! if you are
hosting a Thanksgiving Day
meal, make your decorating easier by using natural things, materials from in and around your
house. Scatter some beautiful
colored leaves down the center
of the table, use produce in an
arrangement or just placed
around. Choose squashes,
pumpkins, gourds, eggplants,
fruit and nuts. use vines of bittersweet and/or English ivy to snake
around the other items. Easy,
simple and inexpensive. Come
December you can do the same
thing by using pinecones, pine
and evergreen branches, cranberries and pomegranates. use
this same mindset when filling
your vases around the house.
Enjoy the peace and beauty of
the forest and take a nature hike
with the family. Make sure to
choose a hike that all the children can handle. Pack enough
snacks and water for everyone.
To keep it interesting add a scavenger hunt. include items to collect that will not harm anything
in the forest. Talk to the children
about the importance of leaving
the forest as they found it. it is
said to leave only footprints.
Some items to look for and col-
lect are different pine cones,
pine needles, hickory nuts,
acorns and black walnuts; the
leaves of oaks, maples, birch, locust, tulip, sumac, sassafras, willow and elm are just a few
suggestions. Study up with a field
guide for more items to look for.
The children can then use all the
items for different crafts when
back at home. Perhaps the winner of the hunt could choose
their favorite dinner or desert.
Save some of the pine cones to
make bird feeders. Just cover the
pine cone with crunchy peanut
butter and then roll in birdseed.
Attach a string (before the peanut
butter) and hang outside. Back at home in the yard there
are still some things to get done
outside before the real cold
weather is upon us. Finish cleaning out your vegetable garden
and clean up any spent annuals
in your flower beds. Add a nice
layer of compost on top of the
soil and/or some chopped up
leaves that you have raked up.
Put your garden tools, hoses and
clay and ceramic pots away out
of the elements.
if you recycle your seed-starting pots, cell packs and trays, get
them in order now. it is still
warm enough to clean them up
outside. Wash all supplies in a
detergent, bleach and warm
water bath. Let them dry, then
put them away until planting

time comes around again. This is
the time to make a list of any
new items you may need.
Before you put your bird bath
away for the season, turn it into
an autumn display. it is a good
spot for a pot of mums or flowering cabbage or kale, pumpkins
and gourds. Add some evergreen
stems or ivy to finish it off.
Here is a nice berry blend you
can make to use hot, alone or
with tea. use it cold with seltzer,
or with white wine or vodka. it
will keep, refrigerated for up to a
week. For 5 cups of juice: combine 3 cups fresh cranberries, 3/4
cup sugar, 2 strips of orange
peel, 6 cloves, 1/2 vanilla bean,
halved lengthwise and 5 cups of
water. in a sauce pan bring all to
a boil, berries will start to burst
in about 5 minutes. Reduce heat
to low and cook, stirring 10 minutes more. Let mixture cool then
pour through a strainer into a
pitcher, pressing the mixture with
the back of a spoon.

M A T T E R S
Beware of Scary Inhabitants of the Investment World
by scott Posner, cfP,
crPc, a.a.M.s.
in just a few days, witches,
zombies and vampires will be
converging on your house, asking for candy. As is the case
every Halloween, you’ll likely be
merely amused over the sight of
these costumed characters. But
in other areas of life, such as the
investment world, you may need
to watch out for some seemingly
scary entities. Here are a few of
them:
• The Horrendous Headline
Big, glaring headlines rarely
offer any comfort to investors.
Whether it’s political squabbles
at home, conflicts in the Middle
East or the debt crisis in the eurozone, there’s always something
happening that’s perceived as
jeopardizing the stability of the
financial markets. Yet these
threats are often overblown, and
the markets have proven quite
resilient for decades. Here in the
united States, the most powerful
economic engine in the history
of the world has offered investment opportunities as crises have
come and gone.
• The Terrible Tipster
He or she could be anyone –
your neighbor, friend or relative.
But whatever their origins, Terrible Tipsters have one thing in
common: They like to tout “hot”
stocks or “can’t miss” opportunities. The problem is that by the
time you actually hear about a
hot stock, it may already be cooling off. And the “can’t miss” opportunities often do indeed miss.
Don’t waste time, effort – and
money – seeking a shortcut to investment success: There isn’t
one. instead, stick with an investment strategy that’s suitable for
your goals, risk tolerance and
time horizon.
• The Scary Statement
When the market is down, you
probably dread seeing your investment statements. But don’t
let a few bad months, or even a
bad year, cause you to stuff your
money under your mattress. The
financial markets can turn
around pretty quickly, and if
you’re out of the market when
the next rally begins, you’ll miss
out on some potentially big
gains. So, put those negative
statements aside and look back
at your investment results over a
period of many years – the big
picture might look a lot less
frightening than you’d imagine.

• The Fearsome Forecast
The performance of the financial markets is notoriously hard
to predict – but that doesn’t stop
a slew of fortune-tellers from trying. And the same is true of the
economy as a whole – predictions abound, but many of them
prove far off base. You can always adjust your portfolio, as
needed, in response to changing
market or economic conditions,
but don’t act on these possible
circumstances just because
someone, somewhere, has predicted them. instead, follow
tried-and-true principles such as
diversification, which can help
reduce the impact of volatility on
your holdings. (However, diversification can’t guarantee a profit
or protect against loss.)
The ghouls and goblins you
see on Halloween are unlikely to
cause you nightmares. And the
various phantoms of the investment world may prove just as illusory. Don’t let them scare you
away from investing.

PERSPECTIVES ON REAL ESTATE:
55+ Communities and YOU
PART 2
by
alexandra rich
Last month i
wrote about
the lifestyle
changes which
come with selling your home and moving to an
adult community. There are other
considerations as well and they
concern finances. it is not simply
a question of what price point
you can afford when you search
for a retirement home. Certainly
that is paramount to your quest,
but the community you are selecting is part of a larger financial equation. if you are
purchasing a cooperative (coop), you are purchasing shares in
a corporation. if you are buying
a condo you are becoming part
of a homeowner association
(HOA). Most often both have
governing boards, rules and regulations, selection committees,
fees, taxes, special assessments
and other requirements associated with the community. You
need to do your homework and
consult with your attorney before
you buy. 1. The Community
and the builder.
Take the time to research the
community on line and at the
local building department. Most
builders have web sites. You can
determine whether this is the first
time the builder has built an
adult development, or whether
there are other sites locally, re-
gionally or even nationwide. A
first time builder will lack the experience of long-term investors,
and often are not as familiar with
the wants and desires of today’s
purchasers. They may also lack
expertise in accommodating
local laws and enforcement
codes.
2. Add on Costs and Fees.
What activities do you value
most and are they included or
are there additional charges? For
example, is golf free to homeowners, are classes and activities
and social clubs included? Have
there been improvements to the
structures – siding, landscaping,
the clubhouse – which incurred
special assessments and are continued on page 84

3. Annual budget and
reserve Funds.
What is your association’s annual budget and is there a reserve fund? is there money
available if the roads need
repaving in the future, or if the
clubhouse needs a new roof?
These are anticipated future capital expenses that a well run association should be prepared for.
The lack of sufficient reserves
will mean future fees and assessments you were not expecting.
The HOA should make its financial statements available to you
and your lawyer. And speak with
people who live in the community, or the HOA president, if
possible. Even reading the minutes of several board meetings
will give you insight.
4. Future Development.
it is not possible to see into the
future, but ask about plans which
may be in the works for the surrounding areas, especially vacant
land. Town websites will usually
have a record of new building
proposals presented for approval.
Check the zoning for surrounding properties. Does your residential zone back commercial or
industrial zoned land?
5. Overall Health of the
Community.
is there a high percentage of
foreclosures in the community?
You can check with the county
clerk’s office for liens and foreclosures within the development.
Both affect resale values and the
HOA’s financial stability. is there
a high percentage of litigation
among residents or problems
with delinquency in dues? How
are these issues normally resolved? This is a real estate investment, even if it simply passes
on to your heirs, and you need to
treat it the same way you would
if you were buying any other
home.
All the due diligence you can
muster is not a guarantee. But it
helps to be informed and forewarned. And be sure to be prepared for the scrutiny you will
undergo in the approval process.

Guard Your Happiness – Treat Hearing Loss
by william Kent
Long island Hearing and the
Better Hearing institute is raising
awareness of the link between
unaddressed hearing loss and
depression. Both are urging
adults of all ages to get their
hearing tested to help protect
their mental health. Long island
Hearing’s efforts come in support
of World Mental Health Day in
October. Studies have shown
how people with hearing loss,
who use hearing aids, often,
have fewer depressive symptoms,
greater social engagement and
improved quality of life.
Hearing loss affects people of
all ages, and so do the associated emotional and mental
health issues that can come with
leaving hearing loss unaddressed. in fact, a 2014 study indicated that hearing loss is
associated with an increased risk
of depression in adults of all
ages, but is most pronounced in
18 to 69 year olds.
Another study, conducted in
italy, looked at working adults –
35-55 years of age – with untreated mild to moderate age-related hearing loss, and found
that they were more prone to depression, anxiety and interpersonal sensitivity than those with
no hearing problems.
The good news is that for the
vast majority of people with
hearing loss, hearing instruments
can be most beneficial; research
• using hearing instruments can
help bolster self-confidence.
showed that the use of hearing
instruments can help reduce depressive symptoms, and eight out
of 10 hearing aid users say
they’re satisfied with the changes
that have occurred in their lives
due to their instruments being
used.
Mental Health-Minded Reasons
to Get Your Hearing Tested
There’s a lot more to hearing
loss than just sound. Getting a
hearing test and using professionally fitted hearing instruments – when recommended by
a hearing healthcare professional – is an important way for
people with hearing loss to safeguard their mental health and
quality of life. Here’s why:
• ignoring hearing loss hurts
quality of life. • Addressing hearing loss boosts
mood.

Today’s hearing instruments
are better than ever and virtually
invisible. Dramatic new technological advances have revolutionized hearing aids in recent
years. Many are virtually invisible, sitting discreetly and comfortably inside the ear canal;
some are even waterproof or
rechargeable, but best of all,
they’re wireless. That means
they’re able to stream sound
from Smartphones, iPhones,
iPods, iPads, home entertainment
systems, and other electronics
directly into your hearing instrument(s) at volumes just right for
you. The new iSDS hearing instruments can even be located, if
lost or misplaced with GPS. Simply put, today’s hearing instruments help people of all ages
maintain active, healthy
lifestyles, some of them with fun
technology included.
Call your hearing healthcare
provider and schedule your hearing test in the not so distant future. Remember, the worst thing
you can do is nothing, and that
should not be acceptable. (631) 584-0100

A Good Night Sleep… the Lost Art!
by terri Pace
As i open my eyes each morning, i am iMMEDiATELY aware of
whether or not my night of sleep
was restful or restless. Happy are
the mornings when i wake up
with an abundance of energy
after a great night’s sleep, and i
am optimistic and excited about
the day ahead. But how frustrating are the mornings which follow a restless night of sleep, or
one which has found me awake
at least once or twice during my
8-hour confinement to the bed.
As we have all experienced,
our restless night of sleep can
leave us impatient and grumpy,
foggy brained and unable to concentrate on even the simplest details, and/or even deprive us of
our passion for life.
The negative effects of our occasional sleepless nights do not
stop at our own gloomy disposition, but can also include many
other more serious mental, physical and even societal impacts.
“The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration estimates
that fatigue is a cause in 100,000
auto crashes and 1,550 crash-re-
lated deaths a year in the u.S.”
(Source: WebMD)
“When you’re tired, you are
deprived of oxygen, which is
necessary for the production of
chemicals such as dopamine and
adrenaline. Even one night of
tossing and turning can give you
symptoms that resemble ADHD,
such as forgetfulness and difficulty maintaining concentration.” (Kathleen Nadeau, Ph.D.,
Director of the Chesapeake
ADHD Center of Maryland, in
Annapolis)
There are incredible healing
powers in sleep! “Think of sleep
as the tune-up you need to run
smoothly,” says David M.
Rapoport, director of the Sleep
Medicine Program at NYu Langone Medical Center. Proper
sleep supports brain and heart
health, brightens our moods, and
can even help us keep the excess
weight off.
Ahhh, a good night’s sleep…
We all know the importance of
it! We all want one every night;
yet, we don’t always get it! So
how do we restore this lost art of
restful sleeping? Here are some simply natural
solutions for better sleep:
• Diffuse your favorite essential
oils such as: cedarwood, clary
sage, frankincense, lavender,
roman chamomile, sandalwood and sweet Marjoram.
• Blend together lavender,
frankincense, roman
chamomile, Vetiver, wild orange and ylang ylang and
apply topically to the bottom
of your foot.
• For those nights when you feel
a little stuffy, open your airways and promote easy breathing* by adding these to your
diffuser or applying a few
drops to your chest: cypress,
cedarwood, Eucalyptus, lime,
and Peppermint. (Dilute with
fractionated coconut oil for
sensitive skin.)
Here are some other best practices:
Establish Good Bedtime
routines!
• Turn off the technology… cell
phones, laptops, iPads, the continued on facing page
Have a Happy
and Safe
Halloween!

H E A L T H
continued
• television, especially dramatic
shows or games which cause
an adrenaline rush; this makes
it more difficult to relax and
fall asleep. • Don’t eat two hours before
bedtime. The body detoxifies
while we sleep which decreases inflammation. if the
body is digesting food, it interferes with detox process.
create a soothing Environment!
• Add your favorite ambient
sound to mask other distracting
sounds.
• Add room darkening shades
and reduce the impact on your
circadian rhythm with soft light
bulbs. Sleep while it is dark (if
your work hours allow).
And no matter what you do,
N O T E S
there may be nights when restful
sleep still eludes you. Rub a few
drops of Peppermint on your
temples after you wake up for a
morning energy boost or diffuse
when feeling fatigued or low on
energy anytime throughout your
day*.
Impact of stress on sleep
Our increasingly stressful lives
can contribute to our inability to
get a good night’s sleep. Then we
often add insult to injury by
stressing about our sleepless
nights! Reduce stress (night or
day) with a drop or two of these
powerful stress relievers*: Basil,
Bergamot, frankincense, lavender, lemon or wild orange.
Essential oils are safe, effective
and very affordable. However,
not all essential oils are created
equal! Be an educated consumer
and use only certified pure, therapeutic grade essential oils for
your family! *These statements have not been evaluated
by the Food and Drug Administration. The

Dear ron,
I am very worried about my
grandpa. we lost my grandma
about two years ago and he just
hasn’t been the same. aside from
holidays, we can rarely get him
out of the house. he hasn’t been
participating in activities that he
used to enjoy and seems to have
gone from an active and happy
man to a gloomy homebody. I’m
not sure if I should push him to
get back to his old self or just let
him do what he wants to do. I’m
afraid to approach him on the
topic because he has been rather
cranky these last few months. I
don’t want him to feel like I am
suffocating him, but I also don’t
want him to feel like no one has
noticed how much he has
changed. any thoughts on how
to handle this delicate situation?
– worried
Dear worried,
Be honest. let Grandpa know
that you have noticed a difference in his behavior and lifestyle
choices and that you want to
know if he is happy with those
changes. ask him if there is anything that he would like to do but
hasn’t engaged in. Perhaps you
could plan a day with him to do
an activity that he used to love.
he might feel more comfortable
engaging in familiar hobbies if he
has someone to do it with. analyze the conversation. try to evaluate whether or not grandpa
needs a push or just needs your
support. It may take several attempts to feel out what your role
should be in his grieving process.
he may be comfortable with his
new, more laid-back lifestyle and
simply want to talk to you.

Blackie the Cat
by John Taratunio, Fairfield Condos
a friend of mine has a snowy white cat
who believe it or not he calls “Blackie”
now if I told you that this cat can count
I know you’d call me wacky.
one day my friend was talking to Blackie
and told him he had nine lives
now Blackie flipped and finally slipped
Because he thought he heard nine wives.
at the time Blackie was sitting on a very high gate
and when he slipped he lowered his total lives to eight.
lives seven and six were lost pretty quick
when Blackie was chased twice by a mongrel named slick.
today Blackie is much older and wiser
and doesn’t leave much to chance
now he just eats, sleeps and feels secure
with maybe an occasional romance.
then lives five, four and three Blackie gave away free
when he fell from the top of a california red tree\
now that left Blackie with lives two and one
and from then on he didn’t have too much fun.
But unlike Blackie, I don’t have nine lives
and I cherish the one I was given.
But like Blackie I got older and wiser
and want to relax and go right on livin.

Every year, children look forward
to Halloween trick-or-treating.
To ensure your child’s safety,
here are some tips to consider.
R My child’s costume has a
label indicating it’s “flame-resistant.”
R The costume is white or lightcolored so drivers can easily
see it, or it is decorated with
reflective tape that glows in
headlights.
R it’s short enough to avoid
tripping my child.
R Costume props like swords
and magic wands are soft
and flexible, with rounded,
not sharp, edges.

Another Fun-filled,
Jam Packed St. James Day
With luck on our side, Hurricane Joaquin
headed out to sea, and St. James Day went off
without a hitch on Sunday, October 4. Vendors
and visitors alike enjoyed a breezy but pleasant
fall day.
Local merchants, politicians and organizations
joined the festivities which included special sales,
demonstrations, raffles, drawings and live entertainment. And, of course, there was food galore!
Thousands came to town to enjoy the day, and
take advantage of the sales and specials!
The St. James Chamber of Commerce, host of this annual event, wishes to
thank the Town of Smithtown, the Suffolk County Police Department, the Smithtown Highway &
Sanitation Department, the St. James Fire Department and the
businesses
here in town
for making
this year’s St. James Day
another day to remember.

wetlands environment as a “natural habitat” for the display of
shorebirds and duck decoys. An
early 20th century bayman’s

North Shore duck boat and a

Effie’s Hole, a small cove in eastern L.i. where duck hunting was
a mainstay of life.
