OUR TOWN • JULY 2010 –4– M E R C H A N T S P O T L I G H T 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. –5– Toddler – Teen Yoga Classes For more info and class schedule call: 516-313-3323 or visit our website: weewarriorsyogaplaytime.com [email protected] check us out on facebook and twitter 2 convenient Smithtown/St. James locations of St. James 779-B Middle Country Rd.

OUR TOWN • JULY 2010 –6– A R O U N D T O W N 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.

OUR TOWN • JULY 2010 – 10 – A R O U N D T O W N 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 full spectrum of food and business supplies to the restaurant industry continued on page 86 – 11 – A Long & Health Relationship “Four years ago, I decided I wanted to join a gym that would give both my husband and myself personal attention and training.

OUR TOWN • JULY 2010 – 22 – A R O U N D T O W N 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. R.J.K. GARDENS, INC.

The Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please have your pets spayed / neutered and vaccinated 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.

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. C A N H E L P Please have your pets spayed / neutered and vaccinated. Visit the Smithtown Animal Shelter’s website to see all their dogs and cats at www.smithtowninfo.com and click the link on left side “ADOPT A PET,”or call them at 360-7575.

The exhibition features the work of 29 artists from across Long Island. Each artist has tried to communicate the particular narrative of a favorite Long Island place. A variety of different media is represented including oil, watercolor, acrylic, and pastel. For more information or directions, call 631-862-6575, or visit www.stacarts.org.

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. continued on page 64 – 63 – Learn How to Decorate ... with a little help from Natalie Schedule a 2-hour in home consultation with Natalie – Call 631.862.6198 AN INSIDER’S SOURCE IN ST.

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?

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 continued on page 68 Professional landscape design & Construction HARDWARE STORE Property Maintenance & Restoration FULL SERVICE LUMBER YARD • Yearly Grounds Maintenance • Perennial & Annual Gardens • Seasonal Property Cleanups • Sod/Seed Lawns • Weekly Maintenance • Pruning & Hedging Services • Plantings & Removals • Ponds & Waterfalls ReASoNABLe RATeS Featuring...

If you do not have a vegetable garden, take advantage of all the farm stands and farmer’s markets in the area. Consider, though, growing your own fruits and vegetables next year.

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.

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.

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: Money Matters is a monthly feature written by Scott Posner, CFP, a.a.M.S., an investment representative with Edward Jones Investments.

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. editor’s note: John L.

The Panthers started the spring season off with being chosen the winning recipients of two LIJSL Sportsmanship Awards for the fall season. Despite hardships and injuries from school ball and league games, these boys were able to fill in the voids and continued to successfully deliver a winning spring season. They became 1st Place Champions with 25 out of 27 points for the year. Then came the sought-after Waldbaum’s Cup, sponsored by the supermarket chain, which is played progressively throughout the whole season along with the league games. Panthers were set to play against the Garden City Warriors at the Stony Brook fields. With great defensive plays, the Panthers’ offense was able to charge forward with a winning 31 score.

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 MEMBER: • AMERICAN CHIRoPRACTIC ASSoCIATIoN • INTERNATIoNAL CHIRoPRACTIC ASSoCIATIoN • CoUNCIL oN DIAGNoSTIC IMAGING 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. • AMERICAN CHIRoPRACTIC ASSoCIATIoN SPoRTS CoUNCIL • N.y.S.

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. ingrid beats the heat by cooling off in the pool.

Many activities that take your attention away from traffic can lead to accidents. Examples of distracted driving include: • Adjusting a navigation system • Eating • 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.

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. continued on facing page Dr. Salim A.

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.

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.

OUR TOWN • JULY 2010 – 97 – OUR TOWN • JULY 2010 – 98 – P O E T ’ S C O R N E R 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.
