Suffolk County Legislator Lynne C. Nowick, of St.James, encourages residents to clean out their medi-cine cabinets. Most residents possess prescription orover the counter medications to treat illnesses orhealth issues; and expired or unused products canharm the environment and contaminate publicdrinking water supplies when flushed down the toi-let or disposed of improperly. In addition to environ-mental concerns, abuse of prescription drugs israpidly increasing. By disposing of unnecessarymedications in a family’s medicine cabinet, the riskof someone else taking these pills can be avoided.In 2008, Suffolk County established the Suffolk

County Pharmaceutical Disposal Program, known asoperation Medicine Cabinet, which allows residentsto deposit unused or expired medications, includingcontrolled substances, in a secure receptacle locatedin the lobby of Suffolk County Police Precincts. TheFourth Police Precinct, which is closest for Smith-town residents, is equipped to collect and properlydispose of unwanted medications and is open 24hours a day/seven days a week. It is located at 727Veterans Memorial Highway in Hauppauge. Med-ications should be placed in a plastic bag.Last year Suffolk Leg. Lynne C. Nowick worked

with the Town of Smithtown to implement a medica-

tion take back program for the residents of Smith-town at the Smithtown Public Safety Office onMaple Avenue. Residents may dispose of their un-wanted medications during regular business hours atthe Public Safety Office.

Pictured with Suffolk County Legislator Lynne C.Nowick at the Operation Medicine Cabinet recepta-cle at the Fourth Police Precinct is Captain JohnPalumbo.

On March 15, 2013 Kyle A.Bollhofer was awarded BoyScouting’s highest rank of eagleScout at a ceremony with Troop7 of St. James. Less than 4% ofall Scouts achieve the eagle rank.In addition to earning at least

21 merit badges, performingmany hours of community serv-ice and showing leadership overhis scouting career, Kyle was re-quired to plan, lead and com-plete a community serviceproject and raise the money forit. At the request of the Smith-town Historical Society, he choseto replace the picket fence alongMiddle Country Road in front ofthe Society’s Franklin ArthurFarm.With the help of fellow scouts,

family and friends, Kyle raised al-most $1,000 by redeeming andrecycling almost 20,000 bottlesand cans. He then oversaw theremoval of the 190-foot long oldfence and the painting, construc-tion and installation of the newfence and gate. The fence picketswere custom made in an assem-bly line fashion involving 15scouts and adults in one day.A recent tally has determined

that more than 100 million hoursof service have been spent per-forming all of the eagle Scoutservice projects in the U.S. dur-ing the past 100 years, likelymaking these projects the singlegreatest youth service initiativein history, and one that has

touched every commu-nity in America in an im-portant way. Kyleproudly joins his brotherJoe and father in therank of eagle Scout. Kyle will be graduat-

ing from Ward MelvilleHigh School in June andattending Lehigh Univer-sity. He lives in Head ofthe Harbor with his sis-ter Aly, brother Joe andparents, Kelly and Joe.

H I S T O R I C A L L Y S P E A K I N G

by Bradley Harris, Smithtown Historian

recently I was asked by thefolks living in the fairfield con-dominium complex if I wouldwrite about the people thatused to live along Morichesroad where the condomini-ums are now to be found.that led me back to the in-credible story of Snowman, anold pennsylvania plow horsethat a man named Harry deleyer transformed into a na-tional jumping champion. thisis a story I wrote for theSmithtown News back in Julyof 2008 and I am reprinting itin Our Town because it is sucha great story that it deserves tobe retold. It is also a story thatbegins in a farmhouse on thewest side of Moriches roadvery near the fairfield condo-miniums. the information con-tained in this article comesfrom books and articles pub-lished about Snowman, andfrom a personal interview Ihad with Johanna de leyer,

who I am sad to say passedaway last year.

The story of Snowman beginslong ago in 1956, the year Harryde Leyer was just beginning toestablish his own stable forhorses in St. James. In 1955,Harry and his pretty young wifeJohanna purchased a “chickenfarm” on Moriches Road in St.James. The de Leyers bought afarmhouse, along with a chickenhouse that stood behind it, onone and a half acres of land.(The farmhouse is still standingon the west side of MorichesRoad opposite the building thathouses Sports Authority and Sta-ples. The chicken house thatused to stand behind the farm-house burned down some yearsago.) Harry needed a house forhis rapidly growing family, andhe needed a barn where hecould stable a string of horsesthat he had been using to teachriding to the girls at Knox School.The de Leyers purchased thehouse, moved in, and with the

conitnuedhelp of some friends, convertedthe chicken house into a stablewith 13 “straight stalls” forhorses. Although the acre and ahalf of property did not givethem enough room for a pasture,they did find space for one smallriding paddock. Since the deLeyers were recent Dutch immi-grants, having come to Americain 1950, they decided to calltheir stable Hollandia Farms. “One wintry Monday in Febru-

ary 1956, 28-year-old” Harry deLeyer “set out from his small rid-ing stable in St. James, Long Is-land, for the weekly horseauction in New Holland, Pa.” Itwas Harry’s intent to see if hecould purchase horses “to add tohis stable” of horses that he usedto teach riding at Knox School.Unfortunately, snow squalls anda flat tire caused him to arrivelate for the auction and he ar-rived just as the last of the“‘killers’ – worn-out work horsesthat nobody wanted,” were beingloaded into a truck headed forMilton Potter’s slaughterhouse inNorthport, L.I. “Suddenly Harryspotted a big gray gelding plod-ding up the ramp” and his atten-tion was drawn to the horse.“The horse was chunky, butlighter than the others, and therewas a spirited pitch to his ears, abrightness in his eyes” and Harryswore to Johanna that the horseactually winked at him. Thisprompted Harry to ask that thehorse be brought back off thetruck so that he might see him.Harry looked the big gray geld-ing over, noting the “the animal’sribs showed, his coat was mattedwith dirt and manure,” and“there were sores on his legs.”(Philip B. Kunhardt, “The FarmHorse That Became a Cham-pion,” Reader’s Digest, July1960, pp. 92-96.) But Harryliked the size of the big plowhorse, and its gentle disposition,and decided that he would be agood horse for novice riders and

some of the heavier girls at theschool. So Harry offered to buythe horse from the meat dealerwho had paid $60 for the horseat the auction. Harry said: “I’llgive you eighty dollars” for thehorse, “ten for profit and ten fordelivering him to my Hollandia

Farm near St. James.” The dealwas struck, and Hollandia Farmsacquired a new horse for its sta-ble. (Rutherford Montgomery,Snowman, Duell, Sloan andPearce, Affiliate of MeredithPress, New York, 1962, p. 11.)

continued from page 39When the horse was delivered

to Hollandia Farms the next day,it was snowing. Johanna and thethree kids, Joseph, Harriet andMartin, watched as their newhorse was unloaded from thetruck. The big gray horse was sohappy to be off the truck that hestood quietly as the rapidlyfalling snow covered him with awhite blanket. When he “raisedhis head” and cocked his earsforward, the kids said he lookedlike a snowman and that becamethe horse’s name – Snowman.(Rutherford Montgomery, op.cit., pp. 14-15.)The de Leyer kids helped their

father groom their new horse.“They washed Snowman asmany times as was necessary toget the dirt and slime out of hiscoat and off his skin. Theyclipped him slightly and combed

and brushed him. Harry called inhis horseshoer and had himshod.” The older kids, Joseph andHarriet, did all the “currying andcombing. They worked at it until

all of the loose, dead hair wasgone and his coat began toshine. The sores on his legs weredoctored carefully.” With the

continued from page 40care and attention that was lav-ished on the horse, Snowmanbegan to perk up and enjoy life.It was clear that he would be agentle horse for children to rideand Harry de Leyer now had toteach the big workhorse how tobecome a sure-footed ridinghorse. That presented a bit of aproblem that Harry solved bysetting out a series of poles onthe ground and having the horselearn how to step over the poleswithout disrupting them. “Thetrick, in walking over the poleswas to get the horse to lift hisfeet high and space his stepsright.” After many practice ses-sions, Snowman learned how todo this and stepped over thepoles, then he was taught how totrot over the poles, and finally helearned how to cantor over thepoles without hitting them. At

the same time, Harry got thehorse used to having a saddleand rider on his back. So in a rel-atively short span of time, Snow-man was ready to join the otherhorses at Knox School and he re-mained at the school throughoutthe spring and quickly became afavorite horse for many of thegirls. (Rutherford Montgomery,op. cit., pp. 16-19.) In the summer, when the

school year came to an end,Knox School closed down andHarry had to bring his horsesback to his stable in St. James.Snowman was back in his stall tothe delight of the de Leyer kids.But he didn’t stay long since aneighbor who was a local chiro-practor, Dr. Robert Rugen, wasinterested in buying a horse forhis young son to ride. When hevisited the stable and saw Snow-man, he offered to buy him for

$160 – double the price thatHarry had paid for the horse.With so many horses in his sta-ble, and little money coming inover the summer, Harry soldSnowman with the understand-ing that if the horse wasn’t suit-able, then Dr. Rugen wouldreturn the horse to Harry and gethis $160 back. The de Leyer kidswere heartbroken but were con-soled by the fact that Snowmanwas only moving to a barn onStony Brook Road, across someopen potato fields, and that theywould still be able to see andvisit with the horse.It turned out that Snowman

wasn’t gone for long. Dr. Rugentook the horse home, put him inhis corral, and the next morningSnowman turned up in the corralat Hollandia Farm. Snowmanpersisted in “jumping the doc-

Irate citizens calledpolice.” The doctor broughtSnowman back to HollandiaFarm and got his money back.(Philip B. Kunhardt, op. cit., p.94.)Harry didn’t believe that

Snowman was a jumper, butwhen he saw the big horse glee-fully jumping obstacles in owncorral, he quickly became a be-liever. Since the horse seemed toactually enjoy jumping, Harrydecided to give Snowman spe-cial training to become a jumper.As a nine-year-old horse that hadspent much of its life hitched to aplow, “Snowman had a lot tolearn and a lot to unlearn” aboutopen jumping in a horse show.

“In open jumping the perform-ance of a horse is all that counts.The rules call for a loss of pointscalled a ‘fault’ if the horsetouches a pole or knocks onedown with fore- or hind feet, re-fuses to take a barrier, or unsad-dles his rider, or leaves thecourse.” Snowman had to learnhow to take jumps over obstacleswithout causing faults and Harrypatiently introduced the horse“to the obstacles that he wouldface at a show: the coop, whichlooks like an A-roofed chickenhouse; the rail, which is a railsuspended between two posts;the gate, which is just that, a gatewith bars; natural rails, whichare two posts with rails betweenthem; brush and fence, which isa fence with brush piled on eachside. An aiken is a fenced-inhedge with the brush at the topof the rails. The hog’s back is a

set of three rails with the centerrail higher than the others.” All ofthese jumps and others that re-sembled “obstacles a horsemight meet in a cross-countryrun,” Snowman had to learn tojump and clear. (RutherfordMontgomery, op. cit., pp. 49-50.) “Probably no one but Harry de

Leyer would have had the per-sistence and patience to spendhours and days and weeks teach-ing an easy going plow horse toface such a formidable task asmastering all of the obstacles ina championship show. Harrytook the time, and he broughtSnowman along slowly, buildingup his power and endurance,teaching him that every jumphad to be his best.” Throughout1957 and into the spring of1958, Harry worked with Snow-man getting him ready for com-

continued from page 44petitive jumping. The jumps “became higher and the obsta-cles wider” until Harry felt thatSnowman was confident andready to participate in a profes-sional horse show. (RutherfordMontgomery, op. cit., pp. 49-53.) Finally in April of 1958, Harry

“decided to put the big gray tohis first real test – at the SandsPoint Horse Show on Long Is-land, where he would competewith some of the top openjumpers in the land.” Harry andhis family went to the show atSands Point with four horses thatwere entered into competitionand Harry was determined toride them all. “Harry’s first ridewas on Wayward Wind in thefirst year green hunter contest”and when the competition wasover, Wayward Wind was thewinner. In the “second-yeargreen-hunter stake,” Harry rode an experi-enced horse named Cicero andhe won first place honors again.And then he won “the green-jumper stake and the green-jumper championship” on ahorse named Night Arrest. Thecrowd watched anxiously to seethe horse that Harry de Leyerwas going to ride in the topevent of the day – the openjumping competition. WhenHarry brought Snowman into thefield, a hush fell over the crowdas they stared at “a broad-beamed farm horse as he ambledthrough the gate” and joined theassembled thoroughbreds wait-ing to begin the competition. Thebig gray horse looked so out ofplace because of his size andshape that some adults in the au-dience began to “laugh outloud.” The laughter grew as peo-ple got a good look at the plowhorse that dared to challenge thethoroughbred jumpers who wereentered in the competition. Asfar as the crowd was concerned,Snowman didn’t stand a chance.(Rutherford Montgomery, op.

cit., pp. 59-61.) The laughter slowly died out

as Snowman made his run overthe obstacle course and “jumpedeffortlessly and without anyfuss.” By the end of the secondday of competition, the laughterstopped when it was discoveredthat the big gray gelding namedSnowman was tied for first placewith a champion jumper namedAndante. everyone looked for-ward to the final day of competi-tion. But what the spectatorsdidn’t realize was that Snowmanhad cut his foreleg on the verylast jump. One of his hind legshad scraped the skin off the backof a foreleg and the leg wasbleeding badly. It looked likeSnowman was out of the compe-tition. But Harry cleaned andbound the wound, and packedthe leg in ice. Throughout thenight, Harry replenished the icewhenever it melted down andprayed that Snowman’s legwould not be swollen and stiff inthe morning. An exhausted Harry

de Leyer slumped against the sta-ble wall later that night and fellasleep. When he awakened thenext morning in broad daylight,“Snowman was watching himeagerly” and seemed to be “rest-ing his weight on both fore-limbs.” When Harry removed theempty ice pack from around hisleg, there was no sign ofswelling. So Harry and Johanna immediately took Snowman toan exercise paddock to see if themovement of his leg would berestricted. Harry released thehorse and “he galloped away.” AtHarry’s urging, Snowman ran to-ward a barrier “and sailed overit.” He appeared to be all rightand Harry decided to keepSnowman in the competition forthe third and final day. (Ruther-ford Montgomery, op. cit., pp.64-68.)When Snowman made his

final run through the obstaclecourse, he turned in a flawlessperformance “sailing over the



Harry de Leyer taking Snowman over a jump known as a coop on the ob-stacle course at Knox School. Since Snowman’s mane is braided, Harry iswearing “pinks,” and appears to have a number plaque on his back, it issafe to assume that a jumping competition was in progress. Snowman wasobviously clearing this jump with room to spare.

Well – wedid it-we’reofficially“townies.”Our recentmove to LakeAvenue took

us light years from 2nd Streetand our sequestered old vaude-ville theatre and into the spot-light, even though it is onlyaround the corner. Our currentdigs, the home of our design firmand a new endeavor, a retailstore (uniquely natalie) featur-ing a variety of “designer picks”from our wonderful sources,seems to have already attractedvisitors even though we are notyet officially open. Our staff isadjusting, unpacking and keep-ing our clients happy, and I am“playing house” with Lillian, our“designer/shopkeeper” whoseexperience in store ownership isas invaluable as her energy andexpertise.So why did we come out of

the closet, or the theatre, if youwill? Perhaps I wanted to recon-nect with the folks in St. Jameson another level and share thegoodies we are privileged towork with every day – or –maybe, after 40 years, it’s in myblood – or – I’m just plain out ofmy mind. But It seemed like anatural segue. Since I began my

Home Decorating Club in 2001,this vehicle has taken me into somany homes and allowed me theprivilege of sharing my ideas andcommitment with both clientand homeowner alike. So here we are, a part of the

St. James business communitysince 1985, and homeownersince 1976, opening our doorsas the new guys on the block. St.James – are you ready for us –the seminars, the sources, the de-signer goods we will have in ourstore? We are getting ready foryou.Let us know how we can help

with your fabrics, window treat-ments, wallpaper, furniture, ac-cessories and more, and pick-upa copy of “design pro on the go

- do-It-yourself Work-book,” get some answersto your design questions,and see what we are allabout.Over the wonderful

years I have written thiscolumn, I have come toknow many of youthrough facebook andyour emails. Now, let’s fi-nally meet, and say “hi”face-to-face. We’re readyfor the logical next step to

help you create the home of yourdreams, (no matter what thebudget), because we know howlife changes for the better whenyou realize its nurturing and em-powering effects. Now, take thatimportant first step. Spring is fi-nally here and so are we – socome on down, St. James.

by June a. liardiThe month of June is such a

pretty month and a pretty busyone too. It is PeReNNIAL GARDeN-ING MONTH, the beginning ofsummer, end of the school yearfor most, and we honor our fa-thers on the 16th.If you are planting some deco-

rative planters, think biggerrather than smaller. A large con-tainer with larger specimens willmake more of a visual impact.Choose larger plants of roughlythe same size, this way they cangrow up together. The larger con-tainer will hold the moisturelonger, very important duringthose hot, dry summer months. Ifyour plants are not stressed theywill grow better and thus looklusher.When choosing plants, do not

overlook foliage plants. Besidesthe garden foliage plants, checkout the houseplant section. Thereyou will find so many colors,textures and different shapedplants. Another benefit is that atthe end of the season you candig it up and enjoy it inside as ahouseplant.A starting point for your plant

selection should be a bold,somewhat larger main plant. Thetrend in the past has been aspike-shaped plant or ornamen-tal grass. Pick one that catchesyour eye and work around thatplant. Complementary colors,upright and cascading plants cancomplete the look.Your container will have to be

monitored carefully for moisture.As water and nutrients leech outevery time you water, you willneed to fertilize often. Your flow-ering plants probably will need afeeding of water-soluble fertilizerevery two weeks. As things heatup, your plants may need morefrequent feedings, keep an eyeout.The beginning of the month is

time to finish planting yourperennial garden. This will give

the plants time to get establishedbefore the real heat of the sum-mer. As the weather does warmup, add a few inches of mulch toall the beds.Stake plants before they get

top heavy, leggy and flop over.There are all types of stakesavailable or just use somebranches you have pruned fromshrubs and trees. Consider plant-ing so that some taller, weakerplants will lean on some sturdier,bushy types.Take time to deadhead your

flowering plants, it encouragesthe plant to keep blooming.Have the children come out tohelp. It is a nice, quiet time tospend together. You will also have to keep

weeding. Those unwanted plantswill use up the water and nutri-ents in the soil. Take anotherlook at some of those weedsthough, they could have anotherlife in your salad bowl. We allknow of the dandelion. This bit-ter green is a healthy addition toyour salad. Ounce per ounce the

leaves are higher in vitamin Athan broccoli, carrots or spinach.It also contains vitamin C and e,potassium, iron, calcium andzinc. You can buy them in mostsupermarkets or just go to yourlawn and pick some. The best arethe young leaves gathered duringthe cooler months as they start togrow. After the plant blooms, theleaves get really bitter.Another abundant, wild green

is lambs quarters, and here too,the most desirable leaves are thesmall, young ones. These greensare interchangeable in recipescalling for spinach.Two other easily found weeds

are chickweed and the succulentstems and leaves of purslane.Both are rich in vitamins, withpurslane stems containing thegreatest source of Omega-3 fattyacids in the garden world.Kids are fascinated by the fact

they can eat weeds, but pleasebe cautious and teach them notto pick and eat anything bythemselves. Make sure you haveproperly identified the plant andbe certain that it has not beensprayed with any fertilizers orpesticides. There are many refer-ence books available, these arejust a few good ones: the Ency-clopedia of Edible plants ofnorth america, by Francois Cou-plan and James A. Duke; alsoIdentifying and Harvesting Edibleand Medicinal plants in Wild(and not So Wild places), bySteve Brill; and Stalking the Wildasparagus, by euell Gibbons.HAPPY HARVeSTING.

“What is a weed? a plantwhose virtues have not yet beendiscovered.”–RALPH WALDO eMeR-SON

editor’s note: June liardi, a St. James resident for over30 years, is a wife and mother of threesons. June will be writing articles on gardening, nature related craft projectsand family activities.

F I N A N C I A L S A V V Y

Investors are trapped! Thosewho chase yield by going furtherout on the curve (longer maturi-ties, see chart below) will face adangerous amount of “duration”risk. Duration is a statistical meas-

urement of interest rate sensitiv-ity. So for example, let’s say the30 year Treasury has a durationof 20. That would mean if inter-est rates were to suddenly spikeby just 1%, the resulting depreci-ation of that bond would be20%. Investors may mitigate dura-

tion risk by keeping maturitiesshorter, but then they will face adifferent peril – inflation risk.If inflation is running 2% an-

nually (wishful thinking), a 3year Treasury with a yield of0.30% will generate a guaran-teed loss of purchasing power of1.70% (2% - 0.30%) each year.Daily Treasury Yield Curve as

of May 1st.

MATURITY RATE1 year 0.11%3 years 0.30%5 years 0.65%10 years 1.66%20 years 2.44%30 years 2.83%

Since it’s fairly typical for in-vestors to have a significant allo-cation of their wealth directedtowards fixed income orientedinvestments, you can see the co-nundrum. How does one reduceduration risk without succumb-

ing to inflation risk?From my perch, the days of

holding a simple laddered port-folio of staggered maturities andclipping coupons are gone. Amore active approach to fixed in-come is required in this age ofultra-low rates. Here’s a fewideas as to what I look for to helpsidestep this trap:

1. Fixed income investmentswhere returns are not reliantupon interest rates – MarketLinked Notes are a great ex-ample. I’ve recently purchasedNotes that provide an un-capped upside return on theS&P 500. However, if the S&Pdeclines, there is a principalguarantee against any losses.Like any debt instrument, theguarantee is only as good asthe credit of the issuing firm soone has to be selective. Butthe over-riding point is thatthere are fixed income vehi-cles out there where the returnprofile is not dependent uponthe direction of interest rates.

2. Non-traditional strategies –There’s a small group of man-agers that I trust to expand theset of tools with which theyply their trade. One will buyhigh yield muni bonds to gen-erate tax-free income whileshorting Treasuries to reduceduration risk. Another munibond manager I like will seekto hedge inflation risk throughthe use of inflation indexedderivatives. Yet another gener-ated a 23% gain last year bybeing an active trader andclosed the year with a portfo-lio having a duration belowzero.

3. Opportunistic global strate-gies – Yields are low aroundthe world but by introducingglobal bonds into the portfolioone can gain exposure to an-other return stream – foreign

currencies. In addition, thereare potential gains to be hadby opportunistically tradingthe volatility of foreign mar-kets.

NO SLIDES, JUST INSIGHTFUL DISCUSSION AND Q&A For those who are interested,

by Scott posner, Cfp, CrpC, a.a.M.S.It probably doesn’t show up

on your calendar, but May is Dis-ability Insurance AwarenessMonth. And you might agree thatsuch a month is useful, whenyou consider the following:

• Three in 10 workers enteringthe workforce today will be-come disabled before retiring,according to the Social Secu-rity Administration.

• At age 42, you are four timesmore likely to become seri-ously disabled than to die dur-ing your working years,according to National Under-writer Life & Health.

• Disability causes nearly 50%

of all mortgage foreclosures,according to Health Affairs, ahealth policy research journal.

Given these statistics, it’s notsurprising that the Life andHealth Insurance Foundation foreducation (LIFe) sponsors Dis-ability Insurance AwarenessMonth to encourage Americansto address their disability incomeneeds. Here’s the bottom line:You can be really good at budg-eting your money and you canbe a disciplined long-term in-vestor – but unless you’ve pro-tected at least a reasonablepercentage of your income, yourwhole financial strategy is in-complete. And all your goals,such as a comfortable retirement,could be jeopardized.Of course, you may not be to-

tally unfamiliar with disability in-come insurance; if you work fora large employer, a group dis-ability policy may be part of youremployee benefits package. If so,you should certainly accept thecoverage, which may be offeredto you free, or at minimal cost.However, this coverage might beinadequate to replace the in-come needed to allow your fam-ily to maintain its lifestylewithout dipping into your invest-ments.Consequently, you might need

to think about purchasing an in-dividual disability insurance pol-icy. Here are some tips:Look for a policy that is “non-

cancellable” until you reach age65. When you purchase a non-cancellable policy, your policy

continued from page 78premiums can’t be changed, pro-vided you pay them on time.Pick the right waiting period.

Typically, disability insurancepolicies don’t start paying bene-fits immediately; there’s usually awaiting (or “elimination”) periodranging from 30 days to twoyears. Obviously, a shorter wait-ing period is more desirable, butit’s probably also going to bemore expensive. You may beable to give yourself the flexibil-ity of choosing the longer wait-ing period if you have created anemergency fund containing six to12 months’ worth of living ex-penses, kept in a liquid accountthat offers significant preserva-tion of principal.Avoid overly restrictive poli-

cies. You may want to avoid an“accident-only” policy or one

with a limited benefit term (fiveand 10 years are common).These policies may be cheaper,but they don’t cover either a dis-abling illness or the entirety ofyour working life.Consider adding appropriate

“riders.” It will likely add to thecost of your policy, but a cost-of-living rider will help protect yourfuture benefits from the effects ofinflation. You also might want toadd a future income options(FIO) rider, which provides youwith the ability to purchase addi-tional coverage in the future withno further medical underwriting.These suggestions are general

in nature. Your financial advisorcan help you determine if youneed a private disability insur-ance policy – and, if so, whattype of policy is best suited foryour needs.

But don’t wait too long to takeaction in this area. You can’t pre-dict the future, but you shouldstill prepare for the unexpected.

“When a festive occasion our spirit unbendsWe should never forget the profession’s best friends.So we’ll pass round the wineand a light bumper fillto the jolly testator who makes his own will.”

– ANONYMOUSJACOB M. BRANDe, lifetimeSpeaker's Encyclopedia, 1962

No caring person desires tocause problems for his heirs.However, sometimes problemsoccur.Records from Suffolk County’s

Surrogate’s Court show that eachyear dozens of challenges to pro-bate proceedings are filed in Suf-

folk County. Probate is theprocess of having a will ap-proved by the Surrogate’s Courtand appointing an executor, aschosen by the testator (the willmaker) in his will, to pay the es-tate’s taxes and debts and distrib-ute the estate’s property inaccordance with the will.A contested probate proceed-

ing occurs when someone whoclaims he is in some way legallyentitled to some benefit from theestate objects to the validity ofthe will or its interpretation, or tothe way in which the executor isdoing his job.Those who have read a will

usually are struck by what ap-pears to be unnecessarily formaland stuffy language. However,wills are written as they are forone very good reason: they

work (if done correctly).Lawyers, being the generallycautious group that we are,rarely deviate from the tried andtrue – “If it ain’t broke, don’t fixit.” Many of the phrases in willsare hundreds of years old, part ofthe rich legal history inherited byus from the english system. How-ever, blindly following formswithout knowing the reasons forwhat is stated is dangerous.each will must be tailored so thatit (1) accurately reflects the testa-tor’s intent and (2) carries outthat intent in a legally permissi-ble manner.Speaking of intent, since the

testator no longer is around atthe time of probate, he cannotexplain any ambiguities in thewill. It is therefore of extreme

continuedimportance that the will clearlyexpress the testator’s intent.Those laypersons who make theirown will, like the jolly testator,run the risk of having their willsinterpreted in some mannerother than as they intended or,equally unpleasant, of having thewill declared invalid because itwas not made in accordancewith strict legal formality re-quirements. even if the Surro-gate’s Court ultimately interpretsan ambiguous provision in a willas the testator had intended,everyone involved has sufferedunnecessarily (except thelawyers). Who finds joy in thetime, anxiety and expense of atrial?Under such circumstances, the

parties involved might have beenbetter off if the testator had diedintestate (i.e., without a will). Atleast then the property of the es-tate would be distributed to thenext of kin in a clearly-definedorder under the law. Of course,this distribution might not be asthe testator intended. For exam-ple, if a man dies intestate leav-ing a wife and two children, hisestate (except property ownedjointly with his wife, which allbecomes solely hers) is dividedas follows: $50,000 plus one-halfof the remainder to the wife;

one-half of the remainder to thechildren, equally. If the childrenare under 18, that one-half mustbe held and used for their benefitby a trustee until they become18. Note: the wife is not auto-matically appointed the trustee.Nor, for that matter, is she auto-

matically appointed the adminis-tratrix, the person who does thesame job as the executor, ex-plained earlier. What loving husband would knowingly leavehis wife with the burden of administering a trust for her own

LET THIS BE THE YEAR YOUR LAWNGETS OFF TO A GREAT START!

Depending on the age of your lawn, your soil, and how muchshade you have, there’s a good chance you need more than justfertilizer and weed control to have any chance to Grow a GreatLawn! It’s not rocket science but it is horticultural science!

Spring is a great time to improve your lawn. All lawns should getlime on a regular basis. Just like in a vegetable garden, to get thebest tomatoes and cucumbers you must improve the soil... thesame goes for your lawn. Lime increases the soil ph by sweeteningthe soil. This improves the soil structure and increases grass vigorand health. Core aeration is also beneficial to lawn health. Punchingyour lawn full of holes is one of the very best ways to improve yourlawn. Regular aeration delivers multiple benefits, including: 1) re-lieving soil compaction, improving air, water and fertilizer penetra-tion; 2) encouraging root growth for deeper and healthier roots; 3)breaking up and speeding up the decay of choking thatch. It’s goodto schedule core aerationonce a year – especially if your lawn has a heavy thatch layer (overone-half inch) or if your soil is heavy or compacted. You will see adramatic improvement in thickness, heat and drought tolerance,and in the color of your lawn. Slice seeding or feed the birds! Whenyour lawn really needs to be reseeded, slice seeding is usually theanswer. These machines actually slice through the thatch layer get-ting “Good Seed to Soil” contact. Rather than spreading seed overthe thatch layer, where it may not even sprout, or exposed to theelements or “hungry critters”, slice seeding provides superior ger-mination rates and quicker lawn establishment. The timing of thisservice is very important. If you would like to see “Before andAfter”pictures or need more information, please go to our websiteor call us anytime!

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.

This is a common question brought up by patients and by all means an important one.Understanding the purpose of each along withtheir benefits makes this an easier question toanswer.

After an initial injury such as pulling a muscle,spraining your lower back or twisting your anklethe inflammatory stage of healing begins andlasts from 24-72 hours. It is during this initialstage that ice is preferred to reduce inflamma-tion. Typically ice is applied in 10-20 minute intervals and removed for 10-20 minutes. Thiscycle is repeated as often as necessary. A common acronym used to remember what todo after an injury is P.R.I.C.E. (Protect, Rest,Ice, Compress and Elevate the injury).

Once the inflammatory stage is over, gener-ally after 72 hours, heat is used to increase circulation and flexibility. Moist heat is preferredover dry heat (i.e. heating pad), because mus-cles have a high water content and the dry heattends to dehydrate it, causing them to be lessflexible and predisposing them to further injury.Heat is typically applied in the same manner asice, in that it is applied for 20-30 minutes and removed for 20-30 minutes, also being repeated

as often as necessary. Remember, when applying heat or ice always

put a thin towel down first to avoid direct skin contact.

Physical therapists are expertsin improving and restoring mo-bility and play an important rolein ensuring optimal bone health.Healthy bones can help you staystrong and active throughoutyour life. If good bone health isachieved during childhood andmaintained, it can help to avoidbone loss and fracture later inlife. For healthy bones, it is impor-

tant to maintain a physically ac-tive lifestyle and eat a balanceddiet with plenty of calcium, vita-min D, and perhaps other sup-plements as needed. Physicaltherapists can design a uniqueprogram for you to help keepyour bones healthy.Osteoporosis is a common

bone disease that affects bothmen and women (mostlywomen), usually as they age. It isassociated with low bone massand thinning of the bone struc-ture, making bones fragile andmore likely to break.Some people are more at risk

for osteoporosis than others. Notall risk factors can be changed,but healthy habits and a properexercise routine designed by aphysical therapist can keepbones healthy and reduce risk.Risk factors* include:

• Age: More common in olderindividuals

• Sex: More common in women

• Family History: Heredity

• Race and ethnicity: Affects allraces. In the US, increased riskfor Caucasian, Asian or Latino

• Weight: Low body weight

(small and thin)

• Diet, especially one low in cal-cium and vitamin D

• History of broken bones

• Menopause

• Inactive lifestyle

• Smoking

• Alcohol abuse

• Certain medications, diseases,and other medical conditions

Physical therapy can help pre-vent osteoporosis and treat its ef-fects by designing individualizedexercise programs to benefitbone health, improve posture,and enhance core stability andbalance. Most of these exercisesare simple and can be done athome with no special equip-ment.

Fight Fracture with FitnessInactivity is a major risk factor

for osteoporosis. The right exer-cises and good habits can keep bones strong and prevent or re-verse the effects of osteoporosis.Weight-bearing exercise, such aswalking, is an important way tobuild and maintain healthybones. Muscle strengthening ex-ercises have been found to stim-ulate bone growth and can helpprevent and treat osteoporosis.These types of exercises are bestif started early in life and doneregularly. However, it is impor-tant to remember that you canbegin exercising at any age andstill reap great benefits.

If you have osteoporosis, are athigh risk for a fall or fracture, orhave a medical condition, affect-ing your ability to exercise, do

not begin an exercise programwithout first consulting yourphysician.Avoid exercises and daily ac-

tivities, which round the spine,such as sit-ups, crunches, bend-ing down to tie your shoes, exer-cise machines that involveforward bending of the trunk,and movements and sports thatround and twist the spine.

Benefits of Good BalancePreserving balance and stabil-

ity with exercises can help re-duce falls and resulting fractures.exercises that improve posture,core stability, balance and coor-dination, can also protect thespine against compression frac-tures. An individualized programmay include a walking regimen,yoga and other exercises gearedtoward conditioning, balanceand coordination.

Bone Health Begins With Good PosturePhysical therapists recommend

good posture and safe move-ments to protect bones from frac-ture during daily activities. Usingproper posture and safe bodymechanics during all activitiesprotects the spine against injury.

by pamela Browne Keane, r.ph.every day seems to bring new

evidence of the role of the Microbiota in our health andwell being. Recent articles in thenew york times and the WallStreet Journal have both reportedon research concerning theamino acid carnitine. This sub-stance is most often found in redmeat. While saturated fat andcholesterol have been blamedfor the increased heart attack riskassociated with red meat it ap-pears that the culprit is carnitine.Not carnitine directly, but achemical called TMAO which ismade from carnitine by somespecies of bacteria found in ourdigestive tract. The researchers followed up

on this observation by trying toidentify if we all had this prob-lematic bacteria or if it was

somehow limited. What theyfound was that our diet playedan important role in the compo-sition of our personal micro-

biota. Vegetarians who had nomeat for one year prior to the testdid not have a corresponding in-crease in TMAO in the blood.They ate the same amount ofsteak and had the same increaseof carnitine in the gut yet they re-acted differently by not havingthe increase in TMAO. The nextstep was to test this theory in amouse model to see if the resultscould be duplicated. A group ofmice were given broad spectrumantibiotics to kill all of the bacte-ria in their digestive tract andthen were fed steak, lucky mice.When blood tests were donethese mice had no increase inTMAO, thus proving the role ofthe certain bacteria in creatingthe high level of TMAO in ourblood after a red meat meal.Cholesterol still plays a role in

continuedheart disease but it would nowseem that the increased TMAOlevels are what cause cholesterolto create plaques on the sides ofarterial walls in the first place.Ulcers are caused by the H.py-lori bacteria and the treatment isto eradicate this bad bacteria.Why can’t we treat the “steak”bacteria the same way? Maybe ifthe specific bacteria can be iden-tified, along with identifying aneffective antibiotic to kill it. Ofcourse there is always a risk ofbacterial resistance. Perhaps weshould be thinking of diet alter-

ation by increasing vegetables toreduce this bacteria or an appro-priate probiotic or maybe both. Our Microbiota is a fascinat-

ing collection of our own uniqueneighbors. I am sure there willbe more news soon.

dear Ron,I am concerned that my teenagedaughter may be dating boysagainst my permission. I am asingle mother and it is just meand my 15 year old daughter liv-ing together. It has been hard forme to have time to see what goeson when I am not home, since Iwork full time. We talked aboutsome important ground rules,such as no friends allowed overafter school until her grand-mother comes over or I comehome. last week I found out thatshe had a few friends over on athursday night when I was look-ing through some facebook con-

versations. I believe there mayhave been a few boys over, andfrom reading some posts be-tween her friends, she may be in-terested in one boy in particular.How can I talk to her about whatmay be going on behind myback?

– Concerned

Dear Concerned,It seems like you and your

daughter are having troublecommunicating – on one end,you wish to have more insight towhat goes on in her life; on theother, your daughter has justbegun to experience her teenage

years and probably feels theneed for some privacy in her life.This privacy helps her feel moregrown up and in control as shebegins to become her own per-son. Although she is young andstill needs some guidance andsupervision, a little privacy is nota bad thing. The question here ishow can you both keep a goodline of communication goingwhile keeping each other’swishes in mind? Try sitting downwith your daughter and outliningwhat is most important to eachother when it comes to commu-nication. Take a look at each

Make sure that the com-promises are reasonable (age ap-propriate and congruent to thematurity of the teen) and thateach person feels like they arebeing heard. When both peoplefeel like they are being under-stood, they are more likely tohonor each other’s wishes aswell. Also, try to set some timeaside, perhaps on the weekendswhen you are not as busy.Spending some more one-on-one time with your daughter canalways help you get a better in-sight to what is going on in herlife.

dear Ron,last month my mother came tolive with my husband and I. asshe ages, she needs help with

daily tasks and has been feelinglonely living on her own. Myhusband and I are concernedthat we may have to begin look-ing into other options – we didnot realize the responsibility wewould be taking on when we de-cided she would move in withus. Just her medication list aloneis enough to confuse a team ofdoctors. on top of that, my hus-band and I never seem to haveany time alone anymore. I feelcompletely guilty consideringother living arrangements for her,but I do not know what I can doanymore at this point.

Dear Stressed,It seems like you are starting to

feel guilty for wanting to be lessstressed – which seems like youare being quite unfair to yourself,don’t you think? You have been a

very accommodating daughter,trying your best to take care ofan aging mother. It is nevereasy – when we need to playnurse, therapist and doctor to aloved one – we might not alwayshave all the answers. What canyou do when your ability to helphas been maxed out? Well first isto be a little easier on yourself.You did a great job on your ownand it is time to let some profes-sionals help guide your motherfrom here. You can try smallsteps first, such as consideringthe financial weight of hiring thehelp of a day nurse or perhaps inmore complicated situations, alive-in. You can attempt to inte-grate help from a good team ofdoctors as well. even a therapistwho specializes in the elderlymight bring your mother some

The temporomandibular joint(TMJ) is located just in front ofthe ear on both sides of yourhead. This joint moves each timeyou bite down on something andwhenever you talk or swallow.As a result pain in this joint canbe quite frustrating and couldlast years if left untreated.The pain associated with the

TMJ is often a result of displace-ment of the cartilage disc thatcauses pressure and stretching ofthe associated sensory nerves.The popping or clicking occursas the disk snaps into placewhenever the jaw moves. In ad-dition, the chewing muscles mayspasm causing pain and tender-ness.Chiropractic may be one of

the best ways to treat TMJ pain. Itmay take several visits but the re-

sults are worth it.In conjunctionwith the care youreceive fromyour chiroprac-tor, you maywant to try theseself-remedies:

• Avoid clench-ing or tensingyour jaw. Donot chew gum.

• Rest the mus-cles and jointsby eating softfoods.

• Relax muscleswith moist heat (1/2 hour atleast twice daily).

• Talk to your dentist to deter-mine whether a bite guard isindicated.

What is it about lifethat makes living so rare

We cherish each breath we takeand treat our bodies with care

Why must we be carefulIn everything we do

We never know the limitsour bodies can go through

there is a special reasonWhy life is a special treat

once it’s gone, it will never come again

that’s what makes life so sweet.

It’s been a long wait, but a wonderful sightas we enjoy this beautiful day!those april showers weren’t for naught,they brought us our flowers in May!

How lovely it is to see all the bloomsthat brings beauty and fragrance too!as each day stays bright longer,to make it all happier for me and you!

So let’s all make a promise each daythat we will try to maintain the sublimeBy doing what we can to keep it going,and move it along, “one day at a time!”

I’m talking about chores, like “cutting the grass”perhaps even planting some flowers.you’ll be surprised at the results that you get,Just by putting in a few hours.

of course during these days it may get quite warm,But if that’s the case, just apply a really old rule“When this happens, just think of february,Which will really make you feel cool!”

So once again let’s all try our best,to welcome and appreciate the spring!While we hope for a wonderful summerand all that it surely will bring!
