Bullseye Beverage
395A East Main Street
Smithtown, NY
406-7730
by Elizabeth Isabelle
This month’s spotlight takes us
to Bullseye Beverage in Smithtown. Managers Kurt and Kate
know that consumers have a lot
of choices when it comes to buying beer and soda. Therefore,
they offer personalized, knowledgeable service along with a
vast selection of beverages and
that is what sets Bullseye Beverage apart from the grocery or big
box stores. In addition to popular brands,
Bullseye Beverage has a huge selection of both imported and
micro brew and craft beers.
What is a micro and craft brew?
Micro breweries are considered
those breweries that produce less
than 15,000 barrels a year. Craft
brews are from small, independent brewers, using traditional
methods without the use of adjuncts such as corn or rice. The
emphasis is on what is flavorful
and distinctive, setting these
beers apart from mainstream
beers. If you are looking for a
special brand that is hard to find
or love to try new brews, than
Bullseye Beverage is the place
for you! If Kurt and Kate don’t
have what you are looking for,
they will get it – special orders
are no problem. Refillable
Growlers are available, filled
with fresh tap craft brews from
local breweries. Bullseye Beverage works with
their distributors to make sure
that their clients get the brands
they want at prices that are as
good if not better than you will
find anywhere else. In addition,
they regularly run specials and
sales, which you can also find by
going to their website at
www.bullseyebeverage.net. New York State law mandates
that a deposit be charged on all
beverage bottles and cans. When
you bring back your empties,
you are not only getting your deposit refunded, but are in fact
doing your part to help the environment. Bullseye Beverage is
proud of the fact that they take
recycling seriously. Why hassle
with dingy, cramped recycling
closets at the grocery store? Save
yourself the time and aggravation
by letting Bullseye do the recycling for you.
Planning a party? Kurt and
Kate have everything you need in
the way of soda, water, beer,
kegs, tubs, taps, ice (blocks or
bags) and an assortment of
snacks. They can help you with
planning the right number of
beverages for your guests and
OUR TOWN • JULY 2010
offer free delivery or will load
your car for you right there at the
store. Service, selection and the best
pricing around is what Bullseye
Beverage is all about. Be sure to
visit their website and sign up for
their newsletter to keep you up
to date on new products and
tasting events. Stop in and see for
yourself why Bullseye Beverage
is a great resource for all your
beverage needs. Bullseye Beverage is located at 395A East Main
Street in Smithtown and can be
reached by phone at 631-4067730. Kurt and Kate look forward to meeting you and wish
all their customers a safe and
fun-filled summer.

A Notice from the Cottages to Castles Committee
The Cottages to Castles
Committee wishes to thank
each visitor who attended
the always magnificent
house and garden tour
through the years.
When we were alerted to
the fact that the September
tour would fall on a religious
holiday that is observed by
many in our community, we
made a collective decision
to forgo our event for 2010.
Therefore Cottages to Castles will not be hosting a
house and garden tour in 2010.
However we are putting all our
efforts into a superlative event for
2011 which will be held on Friday, September 9th.
With that in mind, we will
commence to seek out those
unique homes in Nissequogue,
Head of the Harbor, St. James
and Smithtown. Our community has always
been so generous in the past,
nominating those homeowners
who have created sanctuaries
called “home”. Whether it be a
cottage, castle or somewhere in
between, we are interested in
unique properties and will consider your home for the tour.
This one-day event is always exciting for the visitors,
”oohing and aahing,” as they
gather decorating ideas as
well as for the participating
homeowners. While touring
the most interesting homes
and enjoying a fabulous
luncheon this event is a sure
crowd-pleaser! Be sure to
save the date for next year’s
tour – Friday, September 9,
2011.
Besides the excitement
and joy of the day, four nonprofit local organizations are the
recipients of all the much appreciated proceeds.
To suggest a home please have
the homeowner’s name, address
and telephone number and call
Arline Goldstein at 584-8969 or
Ruth Garthe at 862-9849.

FeelGoods Cafe’s Healthy Food to Reach Broader Audience
Health-focused eatery FeelGoods Café, 412 Route 25A in St.
James, has teamed up with leading, local distributor, J. Kings Food
Service Professionals, to bring the
FeelGoods brand to local schools,
universities and upscale markets. At FeelGoods Café, co-owners
Nicole Lawrence and Kathy
Gerdes pay special attention to
the smallest details in their
recipes, ensuring only the freshest, all natural and organic ingredients are used. John King, owner
of J. Kings felt that the FeelGoods
brand of all natural vegetable and
whole grain-based salads and a
wide variety of meatless burgers
were wonderful healthy alternatives that should not be limited to
distribution only in and around St.
James, but should be distributed
in the entire New York Metro area.
J.Kings has agreed to work with
Nicole and Kathy of FeelGoods to
manufacture their salads and
burgers and distribute these products.
When asked her feelings about
having the FeelGoods brand
opened up to a wider audience
partner Kathy Gerdes said “We
want more people to become
aware of what they’re eating and
to consider healthier alternatives
and we’re excited that J. Kings will
be helping us bring the FeelGoods
name and philosophy to more
households on Long Island and
OUR TOWN • JULY 2010
the surrounding Metro Area.” Nicole and Kathy will be
spending long hours working with
the J. Kings culinary team to ensure their recipes are ready for
mass production and to ensure
the quality and integrity of their
recipes are kept in tact during the
manufacturing process.
For any of FeelGoods current
customers, who are worried that
this partnership will be the end of
their favorite healthy family café,
don’t. Nicole and Kathy have
worked hard to grow their café
during these tough economic
times and they do not intend to
stop.
J. Kings Food Service Professionals is a broadline food service
distributor that has provided the

Keep in mind:
Buying a house
should not be a
“rusH” to contract.
It takes time and energy to
reach a decision on the house
you’re purchasing, that is,
...Will the family outgrow it
too fast?
...Can I really afford it?
...Will the taxes increase?
...Will the value increase?
...What about equity?
you need an “experienced”
realtor to guide you in your
search and final decision...
not just today...but to make
sure your purchase will be a
“good” investment and build
“equity” in your future.

head chef of Bella Vita City Grill
in St. James, gathered many of his
friends and employees, and barbecued for the volunteers in front
of the construction site. This is the

crew. He was also involved in the

Enjoy a Pancake Breakfast
and Support Troop 301 Eagle Project
Ryan Gavorsky of Boy Scout
Troop 301 is planning a Pancake
Breakfast at the VFW hall located
on Lake Avenue in St. James (next
to King Kullen) on Sunday, July 25
and August 8 from 8-11 a.m. in
order to raise funds for his Eagle
Scout project. A donation of $5 is
requested. For Ryan’s Eagle Scout project
he is planning to build a Chicken
Coop for the Smithtown Animal
Shelter.
There are approximately 30
chickens housed at the Smithtown
Animal Shelter. Currently they
have a bunch of old dog houses
and a truck bed cover for the
chickens, which is messy and disorganized and offers little protection from the elements. These
make-shift shelters are placed
around the property.
Ryan’s chicken coop will bring
the chickens farther away from the
parking lot and road and will provide better safety and security
for the chickens, along with
proper shelter, food and
water. The food and straw
would no longer be all over
the pavement and the
chickens will be safe from
the weather. This past winter was really bad. With the
new chicken coop the
chickens will be safe from
the wind, rain and snow.
Ryan’s chicken coop will
benefit the Smithtown
Animal Shelter as well as
the Town of Smithtown as
it would clean-up, organize and
beautify the area. Also, the Animal
Shelter will now have a chance to
collect good chicken eggs if
they so choose.
Be sure to stop by the VFW on
July 25 and August 8, and enjoy a
tasty breakfast and help Ryan
build his chicken coop.

FEATuRED PETS
Dakota
Dakota is a three-yearold Malamute/Collie mix,
gray and white in color. He
was adopted by his owners
from another shelter by a
young adult in the household, however, the rest of
the family wasn’t as
thrilled. Mom said “he required too much attention”
and Dad had allergies, so
Dakota was surrendered to
CRAFTSMANSHIP
OF
our shelter in December. If he could talk I’m sure
he’d be telling us “I can't catch a break.” He is a
handsome, pleasant dog, a little strong but behaves
well when being walked on leash. Come visit and
meet “Dakota” he might be the new member of your
family.
Skyler
“Skyler” is a 9-year-old
neutered male Mini Pin /
Jack Russell Terrier mix.
He is approx. 15 lbs.,
lived in a household without children and was only
leash walked. “Skyler” is
crate trained and at one
time lived with another
dog. He would make a
good companion for an
apartment or condo
dweller.

Swiss Miss
Swissy (Swiss Miss) is sweet
and affectionate, she loves her
belly rubs most of all. Swissy’s
favorite
activity
is
going
for car
rides.
She is
definitely a
“get up
and go
gal.”
She’s
more
than content to accompany you
on all your errands. She loves
people, if she could speak, I am
sure her motto would be “the
more the merrier.” However, her
large size and active nature
make her unsuitable for a home
with small children. Swissy gets
along with most dogs her own
size. She cannot be placed with
small dogs or cats. She likes to
play hard with other dogs and
does display some dominance,
particularly with females. She
seems to do best with large male
dogs of a similar activity level.
Swiss Miss is one of those dogs
that you just take everywhere
with you. Her large size, good
nature and unique look always
make her a favorite with those
she meets. If you’re looking for a
traveling buddy, you can’t go
wrong with Swissy. She’s great
fun and super affectionate. With
a liberal dose of good looks –
she’s just too much to resist.

OUR TOWN • JULY 2010
As you can see, only one or
two are in the realm of architecture or design, my playing field,
yet they’re all about change, for
good or bad – the cause and effect element that is so important
in home, as well as in life.
Yet, what’s the point of anticipating 2050? How accurate can
anyone be? And, some of us
won’t be around to check, anyway. Since scientists say that
only humans can imagine the future, learning about what humanity will be up to provokes
many additional thoughts and
questions. What will the world of
interior design be like 40 years
from now? Will “modern” be the
“modern” as we know it, or
something remarkably different?
What about transitional or traditional styles? What will be the
“new” antiques? Will form or
function be redefined? How will
interior space look, then? Will
dirt and mud actually replace
today’s building materials, taking
us all the way back to the beginning of architecture design?
Life is so full of interesting parallels. This past weekend my son
David flew in to Long Island to
celebrate his father’s birthday. He
had a chance to see his mom as
well, relaxed and happy and
then stressed because of all her
writing deadlines (including this
one). Alluding to the “Next 40”
article and being the “tech” person he is, he suggested a bold
headline as a starter (for my design column) “What if…”, where
I could talk about how modern
technology has influenced design and how it might do so in
the future. We batted around the
idea over morning coffee. Shortly
after, he accompanied me as I
stopped by Wicks Nursery on
25A to take a photo of the “Big
Witch” (whose name I just discovered was Winnie) – for my
overdue House Magazine article.

The Next “40”
continued from page 62
Chatting with David Wicks, Jr.
(Senior started out here in 1947,
when there was more farmland
and a lot less people), my son
David remarked that he must
have seen a lot of changes since
he was a kid. This led to a lively
discussion of traffic, street lights
and curbs, farmland and buildings, and my recollection of a
decade ago fourth of July when
our town had a celebration complete with a little red trolley, fireworks at Gyrodyne and a
gathering of the oldest citizens of
St. James in Burke Park. They,
like David Wicks Sr., watched
the post office relocate four
times, saw family type gathering
places come and go, and suburbia develop. Many of them, like
him, regretted the loss of the
small town camaraderie and the
invasion of buildings which took
away so much farmland.
When Bernie and I came out
here with our young sons, ages 6
and 9, in 1976, I thought we had
moved to the end of the world! It
didn’t take long for me to appreciate the natural beauty and
grow to love the peacefulness
and “flavor” of St. James. Often
times, today, riding in the everpresent traffic, I too, long for the
past. Yet, I know we’re still living
in a pretty special place –
friendly, warm and caring – still
embodying small town values.
So what do you think St. James
will be like in 2050? Since I
might not be around to actually
see it, I’d love to hear your
thoughts ([email protected]). And what about my
son’s suggestion to examine the
“What if?” question, applying it
OUR TOWN • JULY 2010
to our homes and our future?
How will that affect the next 40
years in our lives and those who
come after us? What do you think
?

NATURALLY SPEAKING:
Enjoy the Steamy Days of Summer
by June a. Liardi
August is a hot and steamy
month. Keep watering, weeding,
deadheading and harvesting.
Container plants may need water
twice a day now. Keep an eye on
them. Pull weeds after a rain and
when they are small. It helps to
pull them before they spread their
seeds too. Weeds compete with
your wanted plants for water and
nutrients. Whenever you are outside admiring your garden, deadhead any spent flowers. By doing
this you will prevent the plant
from putting its energy into seed
production, instead of flower production. The same goes for harvesting, the more you pick, the
more the plant will produce. The
children will like this chore, I’m
sure.
Sow another row or three of
peas, they will be ready to eat in
September. Lettuce, kale and
spinach can be sown now too.
Pull out tired bush beans and
plant some more. Also put in
some more nasturtium seeds in a
container that you’ll be able to
bring in before the frost. It will
soon be time to pot up some of
your favorite herbs to grow inside
for the winter. You can start to
order your spring-flowering bulbs
and garlic bulbs for planting in the
fall.
At this time of year, your herbs
are probably begging to be
trimmed and used. One tasty way
is to make some herbal sugar
syrups. Use them to sweeten delicious deserts, add some zip to a
sauce or flavor a cold beverage
such as iced tea or lemonade.
Sweeten icing or use as a glaze to
spread on a cake or drizzle over
some of those beautiful summer
fruits. You can use sweet herbs
such as lavender, lemon balm,
lemon verbena, mint, pineapple
sage or scented geranium. Many
herbs used for savory dishes make
wonderful syrups also. Basil, rosemary, sage and thyme add unusual flavor to sweet foods.
Herb Syrup: 1 cup water, 2
cups granulated sugar, 1 cup fresh
herb leaves or flowers, 1 TBS fresh
lemon juice, (optional) whole
spices, such as vanilla bean or

Protecting Assets During
Challenging Business Times
submitted by Lawrence glazer, CLu, ChFC, LuTCF
Small businesses are the engine of the economy,
and when the economy sputters they often feel it
first. In the current climate of uncertainty, many
small businesses have cut expenses to the bone and
tried to make their operations as lean and efficient
as possible.
But even if a small business owner can’t control
the marketplace, he or she can take steps to protect
their key assets: the people the business relies upon.
Details Matter To Customers
A recession tests customer loyalty, as people cut
back on spending and carefully weigh their options
for even necessary purchases. For businesses that are
strapped themselves, it may be easy to let attention
to the details of customer service slip. But this is the
time that details matter most, whether it’s taking the
trouble to send a holiday note to your mailing list or
offering special deals to prize patrons. The key to
their loyalty is to let them know they matter to you.
Appreciate Your Employees
Of course, you want your employees to know
they’re important, too. You need their knowledge
and experience to navigate the uncertain times. The
recession might mean sacrifices for everyone, but it
is also a time to make sure valued workers know
how much they are appreciated. Even small gestures, like movie tickets or a night at a local restaurant, can keep morale steady.
Supplement Benefits, Not Costs
You may want to consider “beefing up” your employee benefits package. A “Voluntary Payroll Deduction” (VPD) program is one of the most popular
ways employees can purchase additional, personally-owned buy life insurance. A VPD program can
usually be set up using your existing procedures for
payroll deduction. A life insurance agent would then
meet individually with each employee to explain the
benefits of life insurance and the ease with which it
can be purchased. All products purchased through
VPD are employee-owned and paid for, with no direct out-of-pocket cost to you except the cost of administration. The VPD offerings can be a smart way
to supplement your overall benefits package, without draining your budget.
Note: Employee participation in a payroll deduction insurance
program is completely voluntary. Since this program is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 (ERISA), employers cannot contribute to, or endorse,
this program.
Protect Yourself
As the owner of a business, you are the most important piece of the puzzle. And especially during continued on page 86

MONEY MATTERS:
Navigating Your Way Through the Investment World
by Scott Posner, CFP, a.a.M.S.
You may not realize it, but July
24 is Amelia Earhart Day. July 24
was chosen because it’s the birthday of perhaps the most famous
female aviator in history. Earhart’s
story ended tragically when she
became lost in the Pacific Ocean
in 1937 on her voyage around the
world, but she is still celebrated
for her bravery and pioneer spirit.
As an investor, you can learn a
lot from Earhart’s career. Here are
a few lessons to consider:
Plan ahead
After a lengthy analysis of
Earhart’s final flight, decades after
it occurred, a noted aviation expert came to one succinct conclusion: “poor planning, worse
execution.” Yet on her successful
flights, Earhart was known to have
produced, and followed, detailed
flight plans. As an investor, you,
too, must plan your journey toward your financial goals. First,
you need to identify your destination, such as a comfortable retirement. Next, you must create a
“map” to reach your goal, in the
form of a detailed financial strategy based on an investment portfolio tailored to your risk
tolerance and time horizon. And
along the way, you must chart
your progress via regular reviews
of your investments’ performance.
use the right “tools”
Some sources have noted that,
on the fateful flight, Earhart did
not appear to fully understand
how to use her plane’s directionfinding loop antenna, which at the
time was a new technology. If you
don’t fully understand the
“tools” – that is, the investments –
you need to help achieve your
goals, you may run into difficulties. Always know exactly what
you’re investing in and why
you’ve chosen those specific investments. Without this information, you could end up with
investments that are either too
risky for your comfort or too conservative for your goals.
Follow your vision
On the day they disappeared,
Earhart and her navigator, Fred
Noonan, were scheduled to land
on Howland Island. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day; some
researchers speculate that the
clouds’ dark shadows on the
ocean surface may have camouflaged Howland and confused the
aviators. As an investor, you need
a clear view of what you want to
accomplish in the long term – and
you need to avoid having your vision “clouded over” by short-term
events such as price drops and recessions. JANET L. O’HANLON

Put sufficient “power”
in your portfolio
Many aviation scholars and researchers believe Earhart’s plane
simply ran out of gas before she
could land on Howland Island.
Does you portfolio have sufficient
“fuel” to help you go the distance?
Specifically, do you have the right
mix of growth- and income-oriented vehicles to power you toward college for your kids, a
comfortable retirement and your
other goals? If you’re not sure, you
may want to work with a professional financial advisor to get the
assistance you need.
You probably will never try to
circumnavigate the globe in a
small plane. But if you can emulate the best features of Amelia
Earhart – such as her courage, perseverance and faith in the future –
while taking steps to help focus
on what you can control, your investment journey may be rewarding. editor’s note:

Trusts for Pets
by John L. Belford, Jr., Esq.
In 1996 the New York State Legislature enacted a law authorizing
trusts for pets whose owners are
deceased. The trust may be established during the lifetime of the
owner of the pet or by the pet
owner’s last will and testament.
It would appear that it would be
more advantageous for the pet
owner to create a trust for the pet
before the owner’s death rather
than put the trust in a last will and
testament. The named trustee of
the trust can immediately take
ownership of the pet after the pet
owner’s death and immediately
access trust funds to be used for
the pet’s care. But if the trust for the pet is in
the pet owner’s last will and testament, the person named to care
for the pet, and to access funds
from the estate for the benefit of
the pet, cannot officially take possession of the pet until the will is
approved by the Surrogate’s
Court. The time for such approval
would be at least six (6) weeks
and perhaps six (6) months or
more. During that time period other
relatives or friends of the decedent
may attempt to care for the pet or
attempt to take the pet to a governmental facility for pets without
owners, in which case the pet
may be destroyed before the will
is admitted to probate.
The trust may provide a stipend
for the caretaker during the pet’s
life and upon the pet’s death.
Upon the death of the pet, the
funds remaining in the trust are
distributed to the persons named
in the trust. If the trust does not
name beneficiaries upon the
death of the pet the assets in the
Residential
•
trust pass to the estate of the deceased pet owner. If the named
trustee and other trustees are not
willing or able to act as trustee, a
Court will appoint a person to act
as trustee of the trust.

HEALTH VIEWS:
By Gregory R. Thomaier, D.C., C.C.S.P.
This article is part of an ongoing series presented in order to bring you the
very best and latest information about exercise, health and diet.
Importance of Maintaining Mobility
Maintaining mobility is critical in
order to live free from pain and disability. Maintaining good mobility is not difficult, but it does not happen on its
own.
Imagine waking up one morning with
a frozen shoulder where you couldn’t
move your upper arm more than a few
inches in any direction. How much
would that impact your ability to do
your job? How much would that affect
your ability to drive your car or even to
dress yourself? How much would that
affect your ability to concentrate on
anything other than your shoulder? obviously, if your shoulder did not move
correctly, it would have a dramatic impact on your life. Well, the same is true
with movement in every part of your
body. If things aren’t moving the way
they are supposed to move, it will have
a negative impact on your ability to
function at work, take care of the demands of everyday life, and even your
ability to concentrate.
Many patients with severe low back
pain report that their pain came on
suddenly when they did something as
simple as bend down to pet their cat,
put on their socks, or pick up the newspaper. Just about everyone would
agree that a person’s body should be
able to handle such simple movements. So what has happened?
In every one of these cases, the
joints of the patient’s body were “all
locked up” — they were barely moving
at all. When the joints in one area of
the body do not move the way they
should, other areas of the body are
forced to move more in order to compensate. This creates a significant
stress on those areas that have to pick
up the slack, and it soon leads to pain
and inflammation. At the same time,
the areas that don’t have normal movement will slowly worsen as the muscles
continue to tighten, the joints stick together, and the ligaments and tendons
shorten. This leaves the body in a very
unstable condition; if left unchecked,
this process will continue until the body
can hardly move at all. That is how a
person comes to suffer flare-ups of
pain at the slightest provocation.
Most of us have seen people who
have lost most of their normal mobility:
they look like bodies that have been
starched stiff whenever they try to
move around. This is especially prevalent among the elderly. Contrary to
popular belief, however, this is not an
inevitable effect of aging; rather it is the
inevitable effect of not maintaining the
body’s mobility through exercise,
healthy alignment, and body mechanics. There are people in their 60s, 70s,
or even older, who are stronger and

more flexible than the average person
in their 30s, simply because they keep
themselves exercising.
Maintaining mobility is critical in
order to live free from pain and disability. Maintaining good mobility is not difficult, but it does not happen on its
own. Just as in developing a good posture, it is necessary that you perform
specific exercises and stretches to
keep your muscles, ligaments, and tendons flexible and healthy. In addition, it
is necessary that all of the joints in
your body are kept moving correctly as
well. Although stretching can help
achieve a great deal of flexibility, most
people also find routine chiropractic
adjustments to be very beneficial in
restoring normal joint function.

Summer Pet Care Tips
brought to you by
Little Shelter animal rescue
The warm weather has arrived.
People are enjoying swimming in
their pools, sunbathing at the
beach and all the other activities
that summer has to offer. Unfortunately, the hot weather can be a
difficult time for our furry companions, so we need to take some
simple precautions to ensure they
stay healthy and happy during the
summer months:
• Always ensure that your pet has
plenty of fresh, clean water
available.
• Exercise your pet in the coolest
part of the day – usually early
morning or evening.
• If your pet has a lot of fur, make
them more comfortable by having them shaved down for the
summer.
• Never leave your pet outside
during the hottest part of the
day. Bring them inside to cool
off in the air conditioning.
• Never leave your pet alone in
the car. The heat inside a parked
car can become like an oven
causing overheating, and often
fatalities. This can happen in a
matter of minutes!!!!
• Flea, tick and heartworm infestation is rampant during the
summer months. Protect your
pet by ensuring they are on appropriate preventatives.
• Protect your pet from sunburn.
If your dog has a light nose or
fur, apply sunscreen to the unprotected areas of their skin.
These are just some of the many
things you can do to protect your
pet during the hot weather. If your
pet shows any signs of distress in
the heat, please consult your veterinarian immediately.

off in the pool.

Is That Phone Call Worth the Risk?
by Jim Winter
Distracted driving is extremely
dangerous and can cause personal injury and property damage. Drivers who use hand-held
devices are four times as likely to
get into crashes serious enough to
injure themselves.1 Even with a
hands-free device, multi-tasking
while driving could have serious
consequences. You’ve seen it before; a vehicle
near you is weaving in the traffic
lane or traveling well below the
speed limit. Chances are that
driver is not focused on the road!
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation2, there are
three main types of distractions: the phone while driving, answer

Distracted driving isn’t just
about phone calls or text messages. Many activities that take

• Grooming
• Reading • Retrieving a dropped item
• Talking on the phone • Texting
• Watching a video Nearly half the U.S. states have
restrictions against activities that
cause distractions. Some states
ban phone use in construction
zones and school zones. Others
place restrictions on novice drivers and operators of commercial
vehicles, such as large trucks and

Are You Ready For the Summer Heat?
submitted by the
Federal Emergency Management
administration (FEMa)
As the days get longer and
warmer, State and Federal emergency management officials warn
that extreme heat can be very dangerous and in some instances even
fatal, so it is important to be ready.
When the air temperature or humidity rises above optimal range
for comfort, evaporation is slowed
and the body must work harder to
maintain a normal temperature. Exposure to extreme heat can cause
physical problems and may cause
heat disorders or illnesses. Older
adults, young children and those
who are sick or overweight are
most vulnerable to extreme heat.
Conditions that can induce heatrelated illnesses include stagnant
atmospheric conditions and poor
air quality.
During extremely hot weather,
you should take the following precautions:
• Stay indoors as much as you can,
on lower floors if possible.
• Limit exposure to the sun and
use sun block with a high sun
protector factor rating (at least 15
spf if you must be outdoors.
• If your home does not have air
conditioning, spend the hottest
part of the day in public buildings such as libraries, schools,
movie theaters, shopping malls,
and other community facilities.
• Use fans. Circulating air can cool
the body by increasing the perspiration rate of evaporation.
• If you have window air conditioning, eliminate any holes or
gaps around the installation.
• Check air-conditioning ducts for
proper insulation.
• Eat well-balanced, light, and regular meals. Avoid using salt
tablets unless directed to do so
by a physician.
• Drink plenty of water. Persons
who have epilepsy or heart, kidney, or liver disease; are on fluidrestricted diets; or have a
problem with fluid retention
should consult a doctor before
increasing liquid intake.
• Limit intake of alcoholic beverages.
• Dress in loose-fitting, lightweight, and light-colored clothes
that cover as much skin as possible.
• Protect your face and head by
wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
• Check on family, friends, and
neighbors who do not have air
conditioning and who spend
much of their time alone.
• Never leave children or pets
alone in closed vehicles.
• Avoid strenuous work during the
warmest part of the day, 11 a.m.

Get Sinus Relief Now!
I am now offering a revolutionary procedure to help resolve the symptoms
associated with sinus disease. Commonly referred to as Balloon Sinuplasty, this minimally invasive,
no-cut approach uses guidewires and balloons to gently restore normal function to the sinuses and
relieve symptoms associated with chronic sinusitis.
If you are one of the 37 million Americans that suffer with sinus disease, you are familiar with its
debilitating effects: intense facial pain, headaches, congestion, and fatigue. If you have already been
through multiple courses of medications and antibiotics without relief, the Balloon Sinuplasty
approach may be appropriate. This hospital out-patient procedure has been demonstrated to be
extremely safe and effective. Most of my patients return to normal activities and work within
a few days.
If you are tired of the misery associated with sinus disease please call me to find out if this approach
is appropriate for you.
Visit my website and view a patient testimonial at: www.Matarent.com
You don’t have to suffer with sinus disease any longer.

• to 4 p.m. Have a buddy system
when working in extreme heat,
and take frequent breaks.
• Exercise should be done in the
early morning hours between 47 a.m.
• Make sure there is enough food
and water for pets.
Heat-induced illnesses
Exposure to extreme heat can
cause serious illness. Heat Cramps are painful spasms,
usually in leg and abdominal muscles, and may be accompanied by
heavy sweating. Heat Exhaustion is more serious.
Symptoms include heavy sweating,
but skin may be cool, pale, or
flushed. Fainting or dizziness,
weak pulse, nausea, vomiting, exhaustion, and headaches may
occur.
If you experience any of these
symptoms, sit or lie down in a cool
N O T E S
place, loosen your clothing, and
sip half a glass of water every 15
minutes. Discontinue drinking
water if you become nauseous, and
seek immediate medical attention
if vomiting occurs.
Heat Stroke is a severe medical
emergency and can be life-threatening. Symptoms include a high
body temperature, as much as 105
degrees; hot, red, dry skin; rapid,
weak pulse; rapid shallow breathing; and possible loss of consciousness. If you suspect you have heat
stroke, seek immediate medical assistance or call 911.
Sunburn is a common summer
problem. In severe cases it can
cause swelling, blisters, fever, and
headaches. Take a shower using
soap to remove oils that may block
pores, preventing the body from
cooling naturally. Apply dry, sterile
dressings to any blisters and, if they
persist, see a doctor.
Energy Conservation
• Power outages are more likely to
occur during warm weather,
when utility usage is at its peak.
To avoid putting a strain on the
power grid, conserve energy to
help prevent power disruptions
• Set your air conditioner thermostat no lower than 78 degrees.
• Only use the air conditioner
when you are home.
• Turn non-essential appliances
off. Only use appliances that
have heavy electrical loads early
in the morning or very late at
night.

How to Prevent Summer Sports Injuries
by dr. Linda M. Bocchichio
Most sports injuries occur
when physical stresses are
placed upon unconditioned
bodies. The majority of Americans are inactive and sedentary, despite the current
interest in fitness. Only one of
three adults in the U.S. exercises regularly. Inactivity
leads to unconditioned muscles, joints and tendons.
The number one way to
prevent summertime sports
injuries is proper body conditioning. Proper body conditioning consists of the
following: Cardiovascular Strength
This is the ability of the
heart and blood to carry oxygen to cells of the body. This
is increased by aerobic exer-
cise such as walking, swimming, dancing, cycling, etc.
Muscular Tone & Flexibility
This is achieved through
daily stretching and yoga.
Stretching improves agility
and reduces the chance of injury.
Muscular Strength
& Endurance
This can be achieved by
using weights and with isometric exercise.
Many summertime sports
injuries involve the neck,
back and other joints. See
your doctor of chiropractic to assure that your spine is in
proper alignment before beginning any strenuous exercise program.

Rhyme Time
by David F. McKell
When I pick up a Poem, instead of Tome,
I read it and look for the rhyme.
But these days it’s quite rare,
tho’ you search everywhere....
To find music in words any time!
Though poignant and true, and quite meaningful too....
old verses now seem passé.
Because minimalists have compiled lots of lists
of serious words for today!
The harsh sturms and drangs,
with deep heartfelt pangs
Seem to dominate most of their blendings.
There is no call at all for tales large or small
That will offer true Happy Endings.
But, be that as it may, at the end of the day,
The rhymers will always perdure.
With their iambic beat and phrases so sweet....
They are welcomed by all to be sure!

The Fourth of July, 2010
by John Taratunio
Fairfield Condos
by Ed Gaskell
reflect a moment
on the phrase “Land of the Free”
and what it cost, so that could be.
of the lives that were lost in the battles we fought
To preserve the ideals that our forefathers sought.
and whenever a tyrant or dictator tried
To take away this freedom he surely died.
So no matter where, in this world I may be,
I am proud to stand up and say,
I’m from the land of the free.
What did you do on the Fourth of July?
did you watch a parade?
did you wave your flag high?
did you remind yourself why
We live in the land of the Free?
Say a prayer for our soldiers
Who fight for you and me.
and send them a package
or a card or a letter,
and tell them we appreciate every day better
The freedoms they guard for us, every day.
Send the package and letter, Today.
