On Monday, March 9 the Ne-saquake Middle School PTA inconjunction with Long IslandBlood Services will host their An-nual Blood Drive at the MiddleSchool, located on EdgewoodAvenue in St. James. The BloodDrive will take place in the cafe-teria from 4-8:30 p.m. Please tryto get out and donate this year,as blood supplies are low due tothe snow.In the past years, the very gen-

erous people of St. James havebeen willing to donate theirblood, as well as their time – butmuch to their surprise, somewere turned away due to lowiron. So let’s “March Forward”not only wearing green thismonth, but eating it too. Hereare some ‘green’ foods that canfuel your system and enrich yourblood with Iron: broccoli,spinach, asparagus, turnips, pars-ley, watercress, brussel sprouts,cabbage and green peppers.Other foods rich in iron: liver,

beef, lamb, veal, pork; cod, sar-dines, tuna, clams, oysters,shrimp; chicken, eggs; soy-beans, dried beans, hazelnuts,

almonds, lentils, peanuts; dates,prunes, lemons, grapefruits, tan-gerines; whole grain breads andcereals, farina, cream of wheat,shredded wheat; wild rice, cornmeal, oats, wheat bran, rye, pop-corn, barley and wheat germ.Remember one pint of blood

saves five lives. We need yourhelp to keep our community safeand healthy. There is a tremen-dous shortage of blood on LongIsland and this is a great oppor-tunity to help people who des-perately need your donation oflife to survive.There is no substitute for

human blood. One in three peo-ple will need blood sometime

during their lives. Blood lastsonly 42 days. Your donation nowis critically important.It takes a special person who

understands that making a blooddonation is an important life-sav-ing deed. Blood donors must beat least 16 years old (16 yearolds must present a signedparental permission form), weighat least 110 pounds, and nothave donated blood within thelast 56 days. People age 76 andolder can donate blood if theymeet all criteria and present aphysician’s letter.

make an appointment. Bring aneighbor, bring a friend, WALK-INS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.There will be babysitting servicesavailable.The staff of nurses from the

Harrison Donahue constructed awood framed kiosk at ShortBeach in Nissequogue, whichcontains information on wild lifesafety, especially for HorseshoeCrabs. He hopes this project willcreate a greater respect for theecosystem and help to protectvarious endangered species.Joshua Gavorsky’s Eagle Scout

project was done at the Smith-town Historical Society where hebuilt a picket fence around theSociety’s vegetable garden. He

painted the fence white and en-listed the public’s help to deco-rate the fence during an event atthe Historical Society.The Saint James Fire Depart-

ment 9-11 Memorial was the sitefor Gregory Becker’s Eagle Scoutproject. He landscaped the areasaround the 9-11 Memorial withperennials and purchased granitebenches to provide a sitting areafor visitors. He also donated hisunused funds for the project tothe fire department’s 9-11 Memorial Fund.Thomas Beirne and Christo-

pher Beirne did their respectiveEagle Scout projects to benefitthe animals at the SmithtownHistorical Society. Thomas ex-tended and increased the size ofa paddock around a barn at theHistorical Society. His projectprovided more space for the ani-

mals to move from the barn stallsto the paddock. Christopher’sproject extended the chickencoop to include an enclosed“free range” area where theycould roam freely and be pro-tected from predators. He in-cluded a gate so that handlerscould enter without the chickensescaping.Suffolk County Legislator

Trotta said, “This is a very proudmoment for these young menand their families, as well astheir troop leaders and fellowscouts. I extend my congratula-tions to all of them for being out-standing scouts, students,athletes and role models for theirpeers and hope that they will re-main active in their respectivecommunities.”

A R O U N D T O W N

by Jack AderI met Natalie some 30 odd

years ago at Temple Beth Shalomin Smithtown where her volun-teerism spanned choir and showdirecting, fund raising, and a va-riety of community projects. Onsome of this, I happily collabo-rated, because if you know Na-talie, you can’t be around hertoo long before you become in-volved in some worthy endeavor.I became her photographer andlater marketing director andwatched her transform people’slives in her work and by thestrength of her drive and energy.Over the years, I saw her ride ona little red trolley and relate thehistory of St. James at a 4th ofJuly festival, watched her work toget a gazebo built in our town,saw her start an Art & Antiquesassociation, provide art showsfor local artists and show silentmovies in her old vaudeville the-atre. She has raised funds forMake-A-Wish, Have A Heart andContractors for Kids – all organi-zations that help families withseriously ill children.Now, with a handful of willing

St. James businesses and home-owners, she is spearheading “St.James Has Heart,” a newlyformed committee to help bringvisitors to our town as well as at-tract new business. The goal is tofocus on individual business

owners’ philanthropic endeav-ors, as well as their business ex-pertise, and create the image ofSt. James as a “go-to” destinationfor goods and services, finerestaurants, and unique history.The committee is planning fund-raisers and activities throughoutthe year to produce an historicrecreation and raise awarenessthrough the media of the value ofsmall-town communities onLong Island. Natalie believes in outreach.

Her circle of talented resourcesnever ceases to amaze me be-cause they know she is the realdeal – and always looking for

ways to help others. Most peopleknow of her reputation as a tal-ented designer, writer, and mediaperson, but not many know ofthe countless projects she hasworked on for the “average Joe”because she truly believes every-one is entitled to a beautifulhome. When her husband Bernie

died a few years ago, she de-cided to turn their old theatre on2nd Street into a quality furnitureconsignment store and help peo-ple buy good things affordably. Ithas already gained recognitionand made her new friends in thecommunity. Knowing and work-ing with Natalie is interesting,exciting, and challenging – butalways a privilege.

piano, produced in 1979 andpatented in 1981 by Wil Deckerof St. James, (Piano Nova Co.),contained the first full touch sen-sitive keyboard and workingpedals. The electronic piano wasa keyboard instrument designedto simulate the timbre of a pianousing analog circuitry.Electronic pianos became less

popular when the digital pianoand polyphonic synthesizer be-came available and affordableenough for both professional and

home use as an inexpensive,smaller and lighter alternative toan acoustic piano. As Christifori’s Piano-Forte, in

Harbor Country Day School,located at 17 Three Sisters Roadin St. James, has announced thatits Camp Harbor will be launch-ing an extensive, hands-on Sci-ence, Technology, Engineering &Math (STEM) program this sum-mer. The STEM program, whichwill focus on the real-world ap-plication of the STEM disci-plines, will be offered to childrenin first grade through eighthgrade during intensive STEMworkshops. In addition, the pro-gram will be interwoventhroughout other camp activitiesfor campers of all ages, includingpreschoolers and kindergartners. “Beginning as early as pre-

school, the science, technology,engineering and math disciplinesare integral elements of curriculaat Harbor Country Day, so thisSTEM program is an exciting de-velopment for Camp Harbor,”said John Cissel, Harbor CountryDay’s Head of School. “Duringthe school year, Harbor’s stu-dents have many unique oppor-tunities to discover and explorethe STEM world. Similarly, thisnew program at Camp Harborwill delve deeply into science,technology, engineering andmath using experiential, hands-on methods within a fun and dis-covery-based curriculum.Campers will enjoy exploringhow these disciplines work to-gether to solve real-world prob-lems.”At Camp Harbor, campers in

grades four through eight will ex-amine the fundamentals of archi-tecture and urban planning todesign their own city. They willlearn about the science and tech-nology behind “green energy” inorder to develop an environmen-tally sound energy plan for theircity. Using what they’ve learnedabout environmental science,campers will assess the impact oftheir city on the surrounding en-vironment. In addition, camperswill have the opportunity tolearn the basics of coding and

computer programming to buildtheir own video game, and uti-lize Lego WeDo Robotics tolearn how to build, manipulateand operate simple machines.Campers in first through third

grades will learn the basics inchemistry, physics and astron-

omy in age-appropriate activi-ties. They will study the lifeprocesses of animals and plants,and the ways in which these lifeforms interact with and adapt totheir environment, in order tobuild a model ecosystem.

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

I have been writing about aJustice of New york State’sSupreme Court William JayGaynor, the man who pur-chased a summer house in St.James in 1905, and convertedit into the estate that we knowtoday as Deepwells. In 1909,St. James residents wereshocked to discover that theman they knew so well hadbeen elected the 94th Mayorof New york City. they wereeven more shocked when onAugust 9, 1910, MayorGaynor was shot in the neckat point blank range by a dis-gruntled NyC Parks Depart-ment employee. this articletraces what happened to theMayor and his beloved Deep-wells following his death.

Although Mayor William JayGaynor seemed to have rapidlyregained his strength followingthe attempt on his life on August9, 1910, and he looked physi-cally fit and seemed energetic,he was still very weak when hereturned to work on Monday,October 3, 1910. “The assassin’sbullet remained lodged in theback of his throat and brought onspasms of coughing that left himlimp.” His tongue was difficult to

control because some of themuscle fiber had been damagedby the bullet making it difficultfor him to speak. His voice hadbeen reduced to a “rasping whis-per, inaudible a few feet away.”For these reasons and to “con-serve his strength,” MayorGaynor “ceased to go out in theevening and declined all invita-tions to speak.” The injury he had

sustained made it extremely diffi-cult for him to function as Mayorof New York City. Yet MayorGaynor threw himself back intohis work and was soon runningthe city again. (Lately, Thomas,The Mayor who Mastered NewYork, New York: William Morrowand Company, 1969, p.309 andp.315.)In 1911, Gaynor continued to

vigorously use the power of hisoffice to end corruption and in-justice and to bring good govern-ment to the city. Confronted bythe threat of a garbage strike inthe fall of 1911, Mayor Gaynorwarned that any striking workerwould be fired. When the dump-cart drivers and garbage collec-tors struck, Gaynor fired them alland the city hired an entire newwork force. The violence thaterupted was quickly quelled andwithin six days the strike wasover. The strikers were never re-instated. As far as Gaynor wasconcerned, “such conduct hasthe character, of a mutiny.” Thiswas the kind of decisive, forth-right action that New Yorkers hadcome to expect of their Mayor.(Lately Thomas, The Mayor WhoMastered New York New York:William Morrow and Company,1969, p.382.)The year 1912 proved to be a

year of trial for Mayor Gaynor. Incontinued on page 36

the spring, the New Jersey sur-geon who had attended MayorGaynor at St. Mary’s Hospitalwhen he was shot, sent in anoutrageous bill for services ren-dered that totaled $9,500. MayorGaynor felt that this was a“ridiculous” sum and pointedout that the New York City doc-tors who had attended him hadnever billed the city, and “saythey never will.” These doctorspromptly submitted their billsand Mayor Gaynor had to watchin embarrassed silence as thebills were paid on court order.(Lately Thomas, The Mayor WhoMastered New York New York:William Morrow and Company,1969), p.395-396.) In July, amajor scandal developed in thepolice department. It began withthe shooting of a gambler in the

entrance to the Hotel Metropole.Four gunmen in an automobilemowed down the man in a hailof bullets, all within view of sev-eral policemen who did nothing

to stop it or catch the culprits. In-stead of acting decisively andcalling for an investigation ofwrongdoing, Gaynor left the

continuedmatter in the hands of his policecommissioner. This infuriated thepress because it appeared thatGaynor was attempting to glossover the murder. The scandalwidened when the District Attor-ney’s office revealed police com-plicity in the murder. It seemsthat the gambler knew too muchabout police corruption and wasready to talk to the D.A. when hewas silenced. In the end, a fullinquiry was made into the shoot-ing. Police graft was uncoveredand several men were charged,tried, found guilty and sentencedto death. Mayor Gaynor was ex-onerated but his judgment wasimpugned and his popularityslipped. (Lately Thomas, TheMayor Who Mastered New YorkNew York: William Morrow andCompany, 1969, p.410-453.)As 1913 began, everyone

watched to see if Mayor Gaynorwould run for a second term. “Inthree and a half years Gaynorhad managed to alienate practi-cally every vestige of organizedpolitical support.” As a result theMayor found that no politicalparty was willing to nominatehim for a second term andGaynor refused to run as an in-dependent, despite havingenough signatures. As the sum-mer wore on, Gaynor remainedcloistered in Deepwells in St.James. Part of the reason he hadretired to his country home wasto rest and recuperate from “a vi-olent recurrence of the oldcoughing and retching” that heexperienced because of the bul-let lodged in his throat. One par-ticular spasm of coughing andretching lasted for 12 hours andleft him entirely drained andweakened. In spite of his weak-ened condition, Mayor Gaynorfinally resolved to run again forMayor as an independent. (LatelyThomas, The Mayor Who Mas-tered New York New York:William Morrow and Company,1969), p.476-484.)

On September 3rd, MayorGaynor returned to City Hallwhere he made the formal an-nouncement of his candidacy toa crowd of 5,000 cheering sup-porters. Soon thereafter, Gaynorand his son Rufus sailed for Eu-rope aboard the White Star liner

continued from page 37dead in his deck chair. (LatelyThomas, The Mayor Who Mas-tered New York New York:William Morrow and Company,1969, p.489-491.)Mrs. Gaynor was at Deepwells

with four of her children whenshe received notification of herhusband’s death. The townsfolkof St. James were stunned by thenews and throughout the town“flags were at half staff and thepost office was draped in mourn-ing.” (“Widow Prostrated by Sud-den Shock,” New york times,Sept. 12, 1913, p.2.) MayorGaynor’s body was returned toNew York City on September19th and his coffin was broughtto City Hall. Thousands of NewYorkers filed past the Mayor’scasket to pay their last respects.(Lately Thomas, The Mayor WhoMastered New York New York:

William Morrow and Company,1969, p.482.)Following Mayor Gaynor’s

death in 1913, the Gaynor familycontinued to spend time in St.James. According to MayorGaynor’s will, Deepwells and itscontents became a part of thetrust fund that Gaynor estab-lished for his surviving children.The house and its surroundingacreage were valued at $39,000when the Mayor passed away. InNovember, the executors of theGaynor estate, the Kings CountyTrust Company, auctioned off thelivestock and equipment of theDeepwells farm. By 1914, allfarm operations came to an endon the property, but the familycontinued to use the house. InSeptember of 1914, MayorGaynor’s daughter Helen Gaynorwas married to Frederick H. Bed-ford in the St. James Episcopal

Church and a large wedding re-ception was held at Deepwells.Eventually the executors of theGaynor estate moved to sell thehouse and property so theycould dissolve the trust fund andgive the Gaynor children their in-heritance. In 1920, WilliamWinthrop Taylor rented Deep-wells from the Gaynor estate. Heexercised an option to buy thehouse in 1924 and paid approxi-mately $50,000 for the houseand acreage. He was to be thelast occupant of Deepwells.

After a brief winter hiatus, theLong Island Museum will reopenits doors on Friday, February 27,2015 with exciting exhibitions tocelebrate spring.

Ansel Adams: Early Works willfeature 41 photographic printstaken early in Adams’ career.Most museumgoers are only fa-miliar with the heroic, high-gloss, high-contrast prints thatAdams manufactured to order inthe 1970s-80s, coinciding withthe emergence of the first retailgalleries devoted to photography.Much less familiar are the inti-mate prints, rich in the middletones that Adams crafted earlierin his career. This exhibition fo-cuses on the masterful small-scale prints he created from the1920s into the 1950s.Coinciding with the Ansel

Adams exhibition, the museumpresents American horizons,East to West: Landscape Paintingand Photography. Drawn bothfrom the LIM’s permanent collec-tion and from notable privateand museum loans, this exhibi-tion focuses on the enduringlandscape tradition in Americanart. From 19th century artiststhat include Frederic EdwinChurch, William Sidney Mount,Winslow Homer, and ThomasMoran, to 20th and 21st centurypainters and photographers in-cluding Ansel Adams, Jay Jaffee,

Jane Wilson and Robert Dash,this exhibition suggests the sup-posedly timeless nature of afixed American landscape is illu-sory. Both exhibitions will be ondisplay in the art museumthrough August 2, 2015.The Visitors Center will reopen

with their annual student art ex-hibition colors of Long Island,featuring original artwork byLong Island students in grades K through 12. Colors of Long Island will be on display through

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.

strong muscles keep your bodyupright and allow you to move.Good muscle strength and bal-ance are critical to maintainproper posture and minimizemuscle tension. Your musclesfunction much like the wires thathold up a tall radio or televisionantenna. If the wires are equallystrong on all sides, the antennawill stand up straight. If one of thewires becomes weak or breaks,the antenna will either lean to theside or collapse. The same is truewith your body. If the muscles onall sides of your spine are bal-anced and strong, your body willstand up straight and strong. un-fortunately, most people don’thave balanced and strong mus-cles – due, once again, to lack ofexercise and to misalignments ofthe spine.

muscles are very efficient atgetting stronger or weaker in re-sponse to the demands placed onthem. since most of us sit at a

desk, drive a car, and sit on thesofa at home, many of our mus-cles are not challenged. conse-quently, they become weak. at thesame time, the muscles that arerepetitively used throughout theday become strong. This imbal-ance of muscle strength con-tributes to poor posture andchronic muscle tension. Leftunchecked, muscle imbalancestend to get worse, not better, be-cause of a phenomenon called“reciprocal inhibition.”

reciprocal inhibition literallymeans “shutting down the oppo-site.” for all of the muscles thatmove your body in one direction,there are opposing muscles thatmove the body in the opposite di-rection. In order to keep thesemuscles from working againsteach other, when the body con-tracts one muscle group, it forcesthe opposing group to relax – itshuts down the opposite muscles.When only one set of muscles are

consistently being used, the op-posing group, from being continu-ously shut-down, is liable toatrophy.

This phenomenon is especiallyimportant to people who work at adesk, because all day long thesame muscles in the upper backand chest area of the body areused. This means that all day longthe body is essentially shuttingdown the opposite muscles in themiddle back. Over time, the mus-cles in the middle back becomevery weak because they are notbeing worked like the muscles inthe front. This contributes to poorposture and chronic musclespasms and pain. The easiestway to correct this imbalance is todo specific exercises which will in-crease the strength of the backmuscles, along with manual ther-apy and chiropractic care. Oncethe muscles in your middle backare strong, the tightness and poorposture simply disappear.

H O M E & G A R D E N

by NatalieWeinstein,ASID

In the earlypart of Janu-ary, we allprepared for ablizzard andwere told tostay home

while it occurred. If you werefortunate enough to have some-one shovel or plow you out, youhad time to marvel at how thepace of our life changed as wewatched the snow transform thelandscape. We had a chance toenjoy our home’s warm and cozyspots, our kitchen and the com-fort food it produced, our denwhere we could cuddle up andrelax, our bedroom where wecould take a very long awaitedafternoon nap, our bathroomwhere a warm soak in the tubbeckoned. Ah – so nice to be home – a

blessed event, although it had tobe thrust upon us. That was then,and since then, the snows of Jan-uary and February have kept ushome more than we expected orwanted. Maybe this time, westart to look around – really lookaround. We open a closet (somecall it the dark hole) and can’tfind what we’re looking for. Wecheck in the pantry (if we actu-ally have one) and realize thathalf the soups have long past ex-pirations dates. We now realizewe’re down to two “safe” chairsto sit on in the kitchen, and theden sofa is looking sadder thanwe are. How did this all happenwhen we weren’t there? Our powers of observation

have not failed us, my dear read-ers. We know that time, dollarsand our priority list of other im-portant daily life events just gotin the way. So forgive yourself forletting things go this far – but nottoo much. If this scenario doesn’tapply to you because you’ve

been on top of things, believe inorder and maintenance, makeyour bed and put the dishes inthe dishwasher every morning,arrange your clothes by colorand season, and alphabetizeyour soups in the pantry becauseyou actually have one, pleaseraise your hand. I don’t see anyhands, so all of you really shouldkeep reading. Here’s a new scenario. On the

next snow day, day off, or anyday you decide, why not thinkabout remedying some of yourhome to-dos that only requiretime and a new mindset? What ifthe comfort food, nap and bub-ble bath were rewards? Rewards,you query? Yep – rewards for ajob well done. Job, you ask? Butof course, you know the answer.If you profess to not know – I’lltell you, as you knew I would. START WITH ONE – one

drawer, one shelf, one pile of pa-pers on your desk. I know that ifyou’re determined, that activitywill lead to another ONE. Onceyou decide on the worst offend-ers (or least offenders) that canbe quickly accomplished, setaside a time when nothing elsewill interfere (that means shut offthe cell phone). You will not onlyfeel a sense of immediate ac-

complishment, but it will spuryou on to do more. Every largetask, even yours, can be accom-plished by breaking it down into“chewable bites.” This mindset isthe road to success.So what are some realistic

tasks you can accomplish? 1. Do that pantry! (if you have

one)2. Clean out the refrigerator.3. Paint a room (not a two-story

hallway).4. Clean out the front hall

closet.5. Clean off the dining room

table.6. Clean off your desk or work

area (When you do, create a“wish” list and a “needs” listand check your bank accountto see what can be accom-plished this spring).

7. Clean out that “dark hole”and donate!

8. Clean out the bathroom van-ity and discard what’s ex-pired – safely.

9. Do your night stand.10. Get rid of those old maga-

zines and expired coupons.11. Venture into the basement,

garage, mud room, or atticwith a notepad and make alist of priorities.

by June A. LiardiThe first day of spring, the ver-

nal equinox, is March 20th, andwith this the beginning of thegardening season. So to startfrom the bottom is the way to go.Your garden soil needs peri-

odic improvement to add plantloving nutrients. One of the besttimes to do this is in the springso that new growth gets the beststart. Make sure the soil is nottoo wet. Ball up a handful ofsoil, if it keeps its ball shapewhen dropped, it is still too wet,wait a couple of days and tryagain. The soil ball should breakapart when dropped.Here are a few natural, or-

ganic conditioners you can use;compost, peat moss, compostedmanure, limestone, ground woodor sawdust and leaf mold. Use a

garden fork to break up and turnover the soil about 3” deep,breaking up large clumps. Dis-tribute the conditioners on thesoil and blend in. Then use ametal rake to level the soil andwater throughly. Ready, set,plant!

There are a few things you canget in the ground now. Peasaround St.Patrick’s Day, spinachseeds, potatoes and rhubarb too.For indoor planting, sow seeds ofbrussels sprouts, cabbage, cauli-flower and kohlrabi, inside. Startasters, cosmos, calendulas,marigolds and zinnias too. If youhave lettuce seedlings started,pick warm sunny days and startto ‘harden’ them off gradually.Then transplant a few everyweek to the garden. If you expecthard freezes, cover with rowcovers. You can enjoy an earlycrop of fresh lettuce.Before everything gets growing

it is time to cut down thoseperennials and ornamentalgrasses that you left up for winterinterest. Be careful not to step on

continuedor cut any new growth that mayhave started to grow.This is the perfect time of year

to start that compost pile youhave always dreamed about(right?). It really is one of the bestthings you can do for yourplants. Just keep a bowl or plas-tic grocery bag by the sink andas you prepare your fruits andvegetables, toss the peels andscraps inside, coffee and teagrounds also. You really do nothave to get fancy, just pick anout-of-the-way, relatively sunnyspot and dump your scraps. Putsome garden soil or preparedcompost on top of the scraps, toget things started, and waterwell. It can be that easy. Keepadding ingredients such as deadleaves, wood chips, plant debris,

paper and cardboard, wood ash,straw, hair trimmings, dust fromthe vacuum cleaner, shreddedcotton or woolen cloth, and‘green’ materials such as grassclippings (minus chemicals anychemicals and in thin layers)pond sludge and manure. Do notadd diseased or pesticide treatedplants, weeds and seed heads,meat, bones or dairy products,human or pet waste. Turn thepile from time to time and waterif necessary. That is about it.If you like the aged, mossy

look that old terra-cotta pots get,you can get that look on yournew pots in just weeks. Combinemoss (from your garden) or sheetmoss with buttermilk. Tear mossinto small pieces, removing anydebris such as sticks or dirt. Pourbuttermilk into a bowl and add

the moss and combine. Thenpaint the mixture on the pot. Setin a shaded place. Just wait untilit has the look you desire. Youcan do the same thing with justplain yogurt. Paint it on the potdry or soak the pot in water firstfor a more subtle look. Anothermethod to try is to simply sub-merge a pot in a large tub ofwater. Make sure the tub is in asunny spot. Eventually algae willgrow on the surface of the pot.Replenish the water as it evapo-rates until the desired effect isachieved.Happy Spring.

M O N E Y M A T T E R S

by Scott Posner, CfP, CrPC, A.A.M.S.If you’re an investor, you prob-

ably had a pretty good year in2014. But what’s in store for2015? It’s essentially impossible to

make precise predictions aboutthe performance of the financialmarkets – but it is possible toidentify those economic condi-tions and market forces that mayhelp shape outcomes in the in-vestment world for 2015. Bypaying close attention to theseconditions and forces, you cangain some valuable insights as towhat investment moves mightmake sense for you. Here are afew of these moves:

• Consider adding stocks. With stock prices having

climbed higher and higher formore than five years, you mightbe wondering if it’s time to scaleback on your ownership of equi-ties. After all, no “bull” marketlasts forever. Still, some factorspoint to continued strength forstocks over the long term. First,we are seeing signs of improvingeconomic growth; employmentgains and low oil prices are giv-ing consumers more confidence,leading to a boost in spending.Second, corporate earnings – akey driver of stock prices – werequite strong in the second half of2014, and companies appearpoised to show more good re-

sults in 2015. Third, stocks – atleast large-company stocks – arestill reasonably valued, as meas-ured by their price-to-earningsratios (P/E). Given these factors,you might want to think aboutadding quality stocks to yourholdings – assuming, of course,these stocks can help meet yourneeds for a balanced portfolio.And be aware that even the mostfavorable conditions can’t assurea continued run-up in stockprices, which can and will fluc-tuate.

• Prepare for rising interest rates.For several years, interest rates

have been at, or near, historicallows. Given the strengtheningeconomy, and the decreasedneed for stimulus, the FederalReserve may well raise short-term interest rates in 2015, per-haps as early as this summer. Butlong-term rates may start risingeven before then, so you may

want to take a close look at yourbonds and other fixed-rate in-vestments. As you probablyknow, when interest rates rise,the value of existing bonds typi-cally falls because investorswon’t pay full price for yourbonds when they can get newlyissued ones that pay higher rates.One way to combat the effects ofrising rates is to build a “ladder”consisting of short-, intermedi-ate- and long-term bonds. Withsuch a ladder, you’ll be able toredeem your maturing short-termbonds and reinvest them in thenew, higher-paying bonds.

• Look for investment opportunities abroad. Although economic growth

has been slow in parts of theworld, especially China, manycountries have now initiatedpolicies to spur economicgrowth. These actions can createopportunities for internationalequity investments. Keep inmind, though, that internationalinvesting involves particularrisks, such as currency fluctua-tions and political and economicinstability. So if you are consider-ing foreign investments, you maywant to consult with a financialprofessional.There are no guarantees, but

by following the above sugges-tions, you may be able to takeadvantage of what looks to be a

H E A L T H N O T E S

by Mercy Kenny,Why is staying hydrated so

crucial for everyone, especiallyfor the elderly? The human bodydepends a great deal on waterfor survival. Your brain is com-posed of 95% water, your blood82% and your lungs close to90%. lt makes up more than halfyour body weight! In order forevery cell, tissue and organ tofunction efficiently you need asufficient amount of good oldH2O. Water is the most impor-tant nutrient in the body. lt is es-sentially needed for properhealth, growth and development.Not only do human beings needwater to live, every single livingorganism needs a certain amountof it to survive. lt is important to remember

water helps maintain balancethroughout the body. Just theslightest drop in body water cancause catastrophic complicationsthroughout the body. lt can alsoeffect your concentration, reducestrength, endurance and causesome painful cramping. There isan estimated 75% of people thatare at least mildly dehydrated.The most common symptom ofthis is chronic fatigue.Generally people worry more

about dehydration during thesummer time. So then why is itimportant to keep it in mind dur-ing the winter time too? Thinkabout your skin in the wintertime. lt often becomes dry and

cracked from the cold and aridwinter air. This should make youwonder about what’s going oninside of our bodies during thisseason. One of the reasons whypeople become dehydrated inthe winter is because they feelthey are not sweating enough.The truth is we sweat the samedepending on the intensity of theactivity we are engaged in. Thedifference is that the cold air canmake the sweat dry quicker; thusleaving us to believe we have notsweat as much. Everyone has ex-perienced getting cold handsand feet in the winter. Do youknow why this is? lt’s becausethe body is conserving heat andenergy by drawing the blood toyour core. In result the body’s re-sponse to thirst is decreased.When we aren’t alerted we arefeeling hydrated, and tend todrink less. However, the body isin fact dehydrated. How do you

know when you’re dehydrated? Afew warning signs are dry mouth,flushed skin, fatigue, headacheand dizziness. Of course youdon’t want to wait for thesesymptoms to occur.Now that you know how im-

portant staying hydrated is, evenin the winter, make sure thoseyou love are staying hydrated aswell. If you are caring for some-one, try adding some water intotheir daily routine. You can dothis by adding tea, milk or juicewith meals. Have a full glass ofwater with medications. Makesure water is always around ei-ther at their bedside or evenwhile watching television. Trysnacks with high water contentsuch as jello and melons. Also,broth-based soup is always goodon any cold winter day. So re-member to stay hydrated yearround and your body will thankyou.

with earlier findings of Dr. DavidFriedland, MD, PhD, Professorand Vice-Chair of Otolaryngol-ogy and Communication Sci-ences at the Medical College ofWisconsin in Milwaukee whoexplains this link: “the inner earis so sensitive to blood flow thatit is possible that abnormalitiesin the cardiovascular systemcould be noted here earlier thanin less sensitive parts of thebody.”In Friedland’s own 2009 pub-

lished study, he and fellow re-searches found that audiogrampatterns correlate strongly withcerebrovascular and peripheraland arterial disease and may rep-resent the need for a screeningtest to identify those at risk. Theyeven concluded that patients

with low frequency hearing lossshould be regarded as a risk forcardiovascular events, and ap-propriate referrals should be con-sidered. Further, research notonly shows that hearing loss isaffiliated with cardiovascular dis-ease, it is also linked to otherchronic illness as well includingdiabetes, Alzheimers, moderatechronic kidney disease and de-pression. Left untreated, hearing loss ad-

versely affects quality of life,earnings and physical/emotionalwell-being. Luckily, the over-whelming majority of peoplewith hearing loss can be helpedand receive significant benefitfrom hearing instruments. The in-struments of today are nothinglike mom and dad or your grand-parents wore. Today’s technologyis so advanced and good, that injust a short period of time wear-

ing them, you feel so comfort-able that you forget they arethere; they become part of you inno time. If size is an issue, thereare instruments that are invisible.Really you cannot see them inyour ear; as hard as you try tospot them, you can’t.For more information about

hearing loss, and for your betteroverall health, get a Hearing Testannually. Most health insuranceplans cover annual testing withlittle to no out-of-pocket ex-pense. You never know, it maychange your life.

Ron Villano, M.S.,LMHC, aSaC, CCH isthe leading expert inworking throughchange. as a father wholost his 17-year old sonin an auto accident, healways speaks from theheart. as a licensedmental health coun-selor, he guides otherson how to workthrough difficult times.as a national speakerand author of The Zing,Ron has appeared on TVand radio throughoutthe world. He will helpyou to embrace thePower of Change inyour personal and pro-fessional life.

Ask Ron VillanoDear ron,

I am a single mother raising a tod-dler on my own. It’s hard enough try-ing to decide the best way to handletantrums and challenges... But it’seven harder to manage with mymother CoNStANtLy stepping in.how can I get my mom to “back-off”and let me handle things while main-taining a civil relationship with her?

–frustrated

Dear Frustrated,Single parenting is a tough job and

many in this situation look to otherfamily members to help with things.But when someone steps into yourparenting, and in this case it’s yourmom, this can leave you with the feel-ing that your role as parent isn’t beingacknowledged. On her side, she maybe responding with her own parentalinstincts to take care of the issue be-cause, in all fairness, she’s been inthat business longer than you. In otherwords, both of you are looking to feelthat your thoughts are OK or vali-dated. Let mom know she needs to“back-off” without upsetting her byvalidating her. Take a private, kind andrealistic moment and have a talk bysaying something like, “Mom, I no-ticed that you frequently step in when

(your child) starts acting up. Howcome?” And then listen. Perhaps mommay be doing it to try and take someof the heat off of you. Or she may noteven be aware of her actions. Beopen-minded, listen to her answers,and this will allow you to take thenext step. Let mom know that you cannow understand her point of view, buttell her that you would like thechance, next time, to solve the issueyourself. In order to make sure thatyou both follow in the moment, youcould set up a certain phrase to saylike, ‘Thanks mom. I’ll take it fromhere.’ And this way she knows thatyou are ready to take the helm, andshe can give you that chance.

by Dr. Linda M. BocchichioThe spine is one link in a

biomechanical kinetic chainwhere movement at one jointinfluences movement at otherjoints in the chain. This chainextends from the feet, ankles,knees, hips, pelvis and spine.The musculoskeletal system

is a mechanism of integratedand interrelated components.In many patients their backpain is caused by postural fa-tigue and spinal strain. Thisstress can often be traced toaltered biomechanics of otherstructures, example the hip,knee, ankle, tibia, foot, etc.The complexities of bioki-

netic interaction are vividlydemonstrated during locomo-tion, which requires a normalrhythmic sequence of flexionand extension, balanced be-tween ligament support and

active motor muscle power.When imbalance or struc-

tural problems are underly-ing – destructive torque,bending and shaving stressescan effect and damage the ki-netic chain. This can lead tonumerous back problems orincrease and accentuate pre-existing ones.Your Doctor of Chiropractic

is well educated in the field ofbiokinetic interaction and isable to find and work towardscorrecting the cause of yourspinal trouble.

P O E T ’ S C O R N E R

A friend of mine has a snowy white cat

Who believe it or not he calls “Blackie”

Now if I told you that this cat can count

I know you’d call me wacky

one day my friend was talking to Blackie

And told him he had nine lives

Now Blackie flipped and finally slipped

Because he thought he heard nine wives

At the time Blackie was sitting

on a very high gate

And when he slipped

he lowered his total lives to eight.

Lives seven and six

Were lost pretty quick

When Blackie was chased twice

By a mongrel name Slick

then lives five, four and three

Blackie gave away free

When he fell from the top

of a California red tree\

Now that left Blackie

With lives two and one

And from then on

he didn’t have too much fun

Today Blackie is much, older and wiserAnd doesn’t leave much to chance

Now he just eats, sleeps and feels secureWith maybe an occasional romance.

But unlike Blackie I don’t have nine livesAnd I cherish the one I was given

But like Blackie I got older and wiserAnd want to relax and go right on livin!

Blackie The Catby John Taratunio, Fairfield Condos
