by Bradley Harris, smithtown Historian

Especially for our Town,I have been writing aboutpeople who made st. Jamestheir home not so long ago.this article contains andyWolke’s memories of theheart of the little countrytown of st. James that andyknew as a boy in the1950’s.

Andrew and Marian Wolkeand their three children – Andy,Lynn, and Gary – moved to st.James in the summer of 1949,just in time for Andy to beginfourth grade in the st. James Ele-mentary school on Lake Avenue.on school days, Andy wouldwalk or ride his bicycle from hishouse at 6 sherwood Drive toschool. When it rained orsnowed, Andy would walk to thebus stop on the northeast cornerof Lake Avenue and WoodlawnAvenue. There he would wait for

the school bus that Joe Mileskidrove for George Jackson’s BusCompany. Andy remembers thatthe school bus was a very mod-ern, sleek looking bus that was

painted green and cream colorsand had high backed seats thatwere upholstered in leather. Heeven remembered that the bus

Lake Avenue, circa 1922, looking south from the railroad tracks. The first buildingon the left is the building that housed Varga’s TV Store in the 1950’s. The large build-ing to the south is Albert Wolfe’s building that in the 50’s was Wanza’s Antique Store.On the right is a garage that stood to the south of Larry Smith’s Stationery and IceCream Store (not in the photograph), and south of the garage, is the roofline of ahouse that was owned by Dicky Smith in the 1950’s. Further south is Ryan’s GroceryStore which burned down in 1922.

continued from page 32had a Mack truck body becausethe little silver bulldog rodeproudly on the hood. The buswas always there, no matter theweather, to take him to school.There were no snow days andvery few holidays. When the buscame Andy would hop on thebus, and ride north on Lake Av-enue through the heart of the lit-tle village of st. James to theschool. In the afternoon, whenschool let out, Andy would ridethe bus back down Lake Avenueto its intersection with Wood-lawn Avenue where he wouldget off the bus and walk home.Twice a day, Andy would eitherwalk through or ride through thecommercial heart of town, andhe did this for the six years thathe attended st. James Elementaryschool, so Andy has a vivid rec-ollection of the heart of the town

in the 1950’s.When Andy started school in

1949, the business district on theeast side of Lake Avenue beganwith the Tropical Inn that was inthe block between 4th and 5thstreets. North of 4th street wasthe house that Daryl Wakefieldowned and was flanked by empty wooded lots on eitherside. Further north was shelton’selectrical store with its big plateglass windows. Mr. shelton wasan electrician and lived with hisfamily in the back of the store.There was another wooded lotbeyond shelton’s and then a va-cant lot. Andy remembered thatan old foundation from a pre-ex-isting building was to be foundin this lot. What he was seeingwas the foundation of the st.James Park Hotel that once stoodon this corner before HarryDwyer built a gas station here in

the late 50’s. (The abandoned gasstation on this site was recentlyconverted into a medical officebuilding.)Across 3rd street was another

vacant lot that was adjacent torosie’s dry goods store. rosieYochmowitz was Hymieschechter’s daughter who mar-ried Phil Yochmowitz and shehad inherited the dry goods storefrom her father. she sold cloth bythe bolt, elastic, sewing cotton,buttons, needles, thread – mer-chandise that her father had sold.A shoe maker’s shop is locatedthere now. There was another va-cant lot beyond her store andthat was adjacent to Wanza’s An-tique store located in AlbertWolfe’s building – the buildingthat looks like a barn with itsgable end to the street. Wanza’ssold some real junk that he

continued from page 34passed off as antiques but he al-ways said: “Have I got a deal foryou!” The vacant lot on thenorth side of his store was lit-tered with old sinks, bath tubs,commodes, and items thatshould have made it to the towndump. Inside his store and thebarn behind it was used furni-ture, cabinets, and treasured re-licts that were jumbledeverywhere. It was a real bargainhunter’s paradise and his cus-tomers always left happy feelingthey had gotten a good deal.Andy recalled that Wanza’seventually went out of businessand a lunch counter/coffee shopwent into the south side of thebuilding and a home goods storeselling candles, mirrors, lamps,clocks, decorating accessoriesopened in the north side of thebuilding.North of Wanza’s was a large

empty lot that was given over totwo big billboards that were an-gled together so that youcouldn’t miss advertisements forthe latest model cars or the latestinnovation that you just couldn’tlive without. The billboards gotyou coming and going on LakeAvenue. Beyond the billboardswas a row of stores. The firststore was spage’s Pharmacy andthen the st. James Post office. (Itoriginally occupied the Laundro-mat.) Next there were severalsmall stores that nestled together.

Andy remembered that one ofthe stores was a jewelry store,but none of the stores seem tohave survived long. At the north-ern end of the strip of stores wasan infamous barber shop oper-ated by a bald, short, heavy Ital-ian named Frank. Frank thebarber was infamous because hedrank, and the scuttlebutt wasthat if you went to Frank for ahaircut late in the day, you mightget your throat cut. Andy got hishaircut at Harry’s – a safer bet.The last store on the corner of2nd street was Varga’s TV store.Andy recalled that this store hada porch on the front of the build-ing and that it had a pyramidalroofline. (This building is gone

today having been replaced bythe building housing the barknown as Comiskey Park.)Around the corner and a block

east on 2nd street was theCalderone Movie Theater thatAndy went to whenever themovie changed and the latestHollywood film came to town.The theater had an elevated stageand hosted movies and theatricalproductions throughout the1950’s. Andy recalled that onespecial treat he enjoyed was atChristmas time when the st.James Elementary school rentedthe theater for a day and all thekids in st. James spent the day inthe theater watching cartoons.

continued on facing page


Gould’s Hotel was located across from the St. James Firehouse on North CountryRoad (Rt. 25a). This hotel, known as the St. James Hotel, occupied the triangle thatis today created by the intersection of Lake Avenue, Moriches Road and North Coun-try Road. When this photograph was taken, Lake Avenue did not intersect with NorthCountry Road, but merged with Moriches Road, which ran behind the hotel andthen crossed North Country Road.

continuedAcross 2nd Avenue, Andy re-

membered that the buildingwhich originally housed Phil’sMarket was empty. PhilYochmowitz had given up hisgrocery store business that foryears was in head to head com-petition with his brother samYochmowitz whose store was onthe east side of Lake Avenue al-most directly across the street.Andy recalls that Phil’s store re-mained vacant throughout the1950’s. Beyond this empty storewas the third barber shop intown. Andy recalled that the bar-ber, also named Frank, was a tall,distinguished looking, gray-haired gentleman. Andy nevervisited the man’s barber shopwhich today would be theDaniel Gale sotheby real estateoffice.The last building that stood

just before the railroad crossingwas the Nissequogue Hotel. Thisbig hotel on the corner of LakeAvenue and railroad Avenuewas built in 1905 and was wherecity folks stayed when they cameout to st. James for a visit. Whenit was built, the hotel had the lat-est conveniences – gas lightingand indoor plumbing. But by the1950’s the hotel had been neg-lected and had become quiteseedy. Andy remembered that ithadn’t been painted in sometime, the paint was peeling, andonly the bar drew a clientele thatincluded a good many winos.The Nissequogue Hotel surviveduntil 1952 when it burned downin a roaring fire on ChristmasEve.on the north side of the gated

railroad tracks was Noftsinger’sHardware store. “Pop”Noftsinger was badly afflictedwith arthritis and it caused himto be hunchbacked and doubledover in pain. But his store wasthe one place in town where youcould find any hardware itemyou needed. The store was al-ways jammed with merchandise

continued from page 37the 1950’s but thought it musthave opened in the late 50’s. Justbeyond the entrance drive to thelumber yard was another shopthat housed an ice cream store.Eventually this became a ma-chine shop. Further north, therewere no other shops except for aflorist who was in the buildingnow occupied by scientific PestControl and an automobile re-pair garage on the corner of LakeAvenue and Moriches road. Theonly thing that Andy remem-bered about the garage was thatit was a large two story buildingthat once was a Jaguar dealer-ship, quite a status symbol for aone horse town. Now it’s a TDBank.The last building standing at

the north end of Lake Avenuewas Gould’s Hotel. Many peoplein st. James will remember this

building as the Gold Coast Two.It burned down sometime in theearly 1970’s. It was the firsthotel built in st. James thatcatered to tourists. At the turn ofthe 20th century, when st. Jamesbecame a mecca for many actorsand actresses, the hotel thenknown as the st. James Hotelwas a favorite place for visitors tostay. It was here that you couldfind members of the actorscolony slacking their thirst at thebar after a strenuous game ofbaseball. The st. James Hotel wasalso host to a number of famousand infamous guests, one namedGentleman Jim Corbet who actu-ally got into a fist fight whiledrinking at the bar. But by the1950’s, the hotel had becomeseedy and run down and the barbecame a discotheque whereeveryone was disco dancing,dancing, dancing.

These are the stores and busi-nesses that were along the eastside of the st. James BusinessDistrict in the 1950’s. It is appar-ent that st. James was just a littlecountry town with not a wholelot happening. There were morestores and businesses on thewest side of Lake Avenue, butthat story will have to wait untilnext month before you will havea complete picture of st. Jamesin the 1950’s.

that’s why I love what I do- evenif I do it to me – MoVING that isit. Yep – we’re moving out of theold vaudeville theatre that hasbeen our home since Bernie andI bought it in 1985. We’re travel-ling a scant 150’ around the cor-ner onto Lake Avenue in st.James, the new home of our de-sign firm and resource center.The excitement is palpable inour office as each and every oneof us, piled with clients’ work, isplanning, packing and preparingfor their ideal space in our newdigs.so what’s to become of my

most beloved old vaudeville the-ater? When we first bought it,Bernie had fallen ill and was

hospitalized.We didn’tknow whatwas wrongwith him andas he sat inbed in the longdemolishedsmithtownGeneral Hos-pital, hequipped, “If Idie, turn thedamn thingback into atheatre!” ThankGod, it wasonly sleepapnea, a rela-tively un-known disorder then, butmanageable, and life went on.We started our first companies inthe spring of 1985, carving ourinitials into the cement at thefront door (ala-chinese), wheremy awning was meant to simu-late theatre marques (you can tellwe always were a bit theatrical).Bernie is gone now, a plaque

in his memory along with a

sturdy spruce planted by mystaff, the gals he loved so much,sits to the right of our “theatre”doors, and I can’t help wonder-ing if Bernie’s words were meantfor me now instead of then.We’ve still got the original tinceiling, the stage, and the olddressing rooms.

SPRING IS THE TIMETO GROW GREAT LAWNS!

Spring is finally here! This is the time to get some fresh air. it isalso a time to take care of your lawn to prepare it for the spring andsummer months. Prevent spring weeds or crabgrass from attackingyour lawn. a beautiful lawn takes a little bit of effort, but is well worththe time and money spent.

crabgrass is a weed that grows as the weather warms, but thetime to control it is now. its invasive growing habits are very dam-aging to desirable turf. crabgrass basically smothers the goodgrasses that surround it and forms a crabgrass scar as it dies in thefall. These scars fill in again with crabgrass next year and the cyclecontinues. if not prevented or controlled, crabgrass can literally takeover your entire lawn.

The best weed control is healthy lawn! This would require improv-ing the soil so the grass will thrive. How do you do this? Start witha soil test and get an early start. You will get better results by seed-ing, liming, fertilizing and watering early in the spring before crab-grass begins to germinate. be sure to get a quality seed blend rightfor your growing conditions. Keep in mind, it’s not magic. if you cangrow weeds there you can grow grass. if you are having a difficulttime growing weeds or just have dirt or moss, this is a sign of soilor shade problems that will need to be addressed. go to our websiteto see Helpful Tips-Shade lawns for more useful info.

Some people choose to use herbicides to control the outbreak ofcrabgrass. This should be applied two weeks prior to the germinationof crabgrass. The timing for this coincides with bloom drop of for-sythia bushes. if you are not sure when this would be, contact a pro-fessional horticulturist for advice.

Spend time in the yard and garden this year. a little work goes along way and it’s great exercise too! You and your family will enjoythe benefits and rewards of a beautiful lawn and landscape all yearlong. if you feel that you do not have the time to take care of yourlawn and landscape always feel free to contact emerald magic for aFree evaluation and estimate.

While crabgrass is a nasty weed that can take over your lawn,there are other spring weeds that can overrun your flower beds. Hereare some tips to help prevent and eliminate weeds from growing.

• Turn the soil with a trowel or hoe. This will help to uproot youngweeds and expose their roots.

• if pulling those weeds by hand, make sure to pull the roots too.• Plant your vegetables and flowers closely together. This will help

shade-out weed seedlings.look on our website under Helpful Tips to learn about weed re-

sistant shrubs, perennials and flowers.

outside. Grab a rake and cleanup those garden beds. Be carefulof emerging bulbs or earlysprouting perennials. removeold foliage and add it to yourcompost pile. Trim any branchesdamaged by winter snow andwind. Cut any left over perennialstems and cut back ornamentalgrasses. Prune hollies and box-woods and fertilize. Wait untilApril to cut back your butterflybush. The birds will be ready tostart families, so clean out thebirdhouses. It is a good time toput one up if you don’t have any.When forsythia bloom it is a

signal that certain chores can bedone. You can trim your hybridtea roses and floribundas. startweeding now, all those left over

seeds will start sprouting now.Those yellow blooms also tellyou that you can sow your coolseason crops out in the vegetablegarden, and when those forsythiaflowers fall, you can plant thosepotatoes. Nature is so cool.As you plan your garden, let

the kids help start a kitchen gar-den, a small garden close to thehouse where you can step rightout and snip some herbs or har-vest some salad greens – a win-dow box or two or a woodenbarrel planter. Most herbs andvegetables will need at lease 6

hours of sunlight. Plant one boxwith your favorite herbs and theother with various salad addi-tions like radishes, scallions, edi-ble flowers and such. The tubtype container would be goodfor lettuces and salad greens;even a cherry tomato plantand/or pepper plant. The con-tainer must have drainage holes,be sure to use fresh potting soiland add a time release fertilizer.You may also want to add a poly-mer. This will absorb water alsoreducing the amount of waterneeded. Plant your transplants orsow the seeds according to pack-age directions. Water gently butthoroughly. Check the soil dailyand water only when necessary.Another kid-friendly garden is

of Nissequogue, led the commit-tee organizing this event. she or-ganized and promoted theschool-wide event with the helpof two of her leadership class-mates, Clay sontag and AngelicaBevinetto, under the guidance oftheir teacher Morgan Woods.students, faculty, administra-

tors and staff were encouraged tocome to school wearing purple,the designated color for suicideawareness. on the afternoon be-fore the event, Amanda, alongwith her fellow leadership stu-dents, distributed over 300 pur-ple color post-it notesthroughout the school containingpositive messages such as “Neverlose faith,” “You’re needed in thisworld” and “Make somethinggood out of something bad.” Additionally, students,

throughout the entire school,were provided with the opportu-nity to write their own noteswhen students from the leader-ship program set up a table withmarkers and blank post-it notes.“We wanted to try to incorporatenot only the leadership class butthe rest of the high school, andwhoever was passionate aboutthe same causes and messageswe were trying to spread,”Amanda said.smithtown High school East

Principal, Ed Thompson, as wellas various teachers, filmed avideo offering inspiring messagesand motivational quotes, whichwas shown by teachers through-out the school during theirclasses. Additionally, the com-pleted video was posted on You

by Brianne-Zinser-cahillHistorically, a secondary edu-

cation has never been more im-portant than it is today. Themajority of career paths require aBachelor’s degree to even beconsidered for an entry-level po-sition. For this reason, collegeadmissions have never beenmore competitive. Both private and state colleges

are inundated with an unprece-dented number of applications.one of the most important fac-tors in selecting which studentsmake the cut are standardizedtest scores – specifically the sATand sometimes the ACT.

The sAT or ACT are consid-ered an equalizing opportunityfor potential college studentsacross the nation – as gradepoint averages (GPA) and extra-curricular activities can varygreatly depending on the re-sources of the school districtsand the personal background ofthe students – but the sAT is thesame test no matter where it istaken. Therefore, sAT-prepshould be a top priority for allhigh school students who areplanning to attend college.unfortunately, most schools,

both public and private, offer lit-tle strategic help in preparing forthe sAT because it is supposed to

test the writing and math skills astudent already possesses. How-ever, there are plenty of prepara-tory resources out there to assisthigh schoolers with helpful waysto approach the test. A long-term approach is the

most effective one; learning

vocabulary, reinforcing readingcomprehension and criticalthinking skills, and strengtheningalgebra and geometry profi-ciency are essential for each stu-dent to score to the best of his orher ability.

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

byrichardmasino

Turnon a fi-nancialtelevisionchanneland youarebound to

hear a number of absurd notionscoming your way daily. My bestadvice, turn off the noise. Mostof the talking heads trotted on tothe public airwaves were disas-trously wrong during the tech-wreck a decade ago and thenagain during the financial crisis.Amazingly enough these folksstill seem to attract an audienceso let me try to repair some ofthe misinformation they spew. Today, we’ll look at three pop-

ular investment myths that arequite capable of leading in-vestors down the wrong path andtowards potentially expensivelessons.

1. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth is correlated tostock prices.Quarter after quarter we see a

number of commentators get ex-ercised when there is any sign ofimprovement in the GDP num-bers. Then they give investors thefalse sense that the stock markettrain will be leaving the stationwithout them. History however tells a very

different story. From 1929 to1953 the economy grew at acompound annual rate of 5.5%while the Dow Jones registered adecline of nearly 23%. From 1966 to 1980, the Dow

was virtually flat while the sizeeconomy more than tripled. And today the s&P 500 is basi-

cally in the same place it was inthe year 2000, while the size ofthe economy has increased byroughly 60%.

2. Money goes into or out of themarket.Another common mispercep-

tion is that there are times whenmoney rotates from bonds to

stocks. And vice versa.Now for a dose of reality – the

stock and bond markets are sec-ondary markets. Thus once a se-curity has been issued, it tradesuntil it is retired.

For every stock and bond salethere is an investor on the otherside of the trade who holds a dif-ferent view. Accordingly, if youwant to increase your exposureto stocks, then do your researchand make an informed decisionbut please be skeptical of thecheerleaders on TV talking aboutthe “Great rotation.”

3. Bond mutual funds will perform worse than individualbonds if interest rates increase.

A mutual fund is a structure tohold investment securities. In thiscase, we’ll say bonds. And if in-terest rates are rising aggres-sively, regardless of the form inwhich you hold bonds, short tointermediate term losses arelikely. Bonds of the highest qual-ity and longest maturity will bethe most sensitive to rates.

contnuedBut I would argue that if there

were ever a time to hold bondfunds over individual bonds nowis the time. Let me explain. Ifone holds an individual bond tomaturity, and if the issuer doesn’tdefault, the owner will receivecoupon payments along the waywith a return of principal at theend. The problem with this elegant

sounding scenario is that in sucha compressed yield environment,most bonds of decent qualitywill provide guaranteed lossesafter inflation.However a mutual fund struc-

ture can be a very efficient vehi-cle for a skilled manager to takeadvantage of volatility and beopportunistic. such flexibilitymay allow for a more diverse setof return streams. In addition tocurrent yield, total return can beincreased through bond appreci-ation, hedging and currencytranslations.Therefore, the question as to

bonds vs. bond funds is irrele-vant. The better question is “whatstrategy will be employed andhow successful has the managerbeen at implementing it.”

by scott posner, cfp, crpc, a.a.m.s.spring is in the air – or, at the

very least, it’s on the calendarthis week. And if you’re likemany people, you may be look-ing forward to doing some springcleaning around your house andyard. But this year, why not gobeyond your physical environ-ment and do some “sprucing up”of your financial situation?

Here are a few possibilities to consider:• Clean your portfolio of

“clutter.” When you gothrough your house, you mayfind some clutter in closets,storage areas, on top of desks,under beds or just about anyother place. Your investmentportfolio also may contain clut-

ter, in the form of investmentsthat no longer meet yourneeds. Consequently, it’s agood idea to “de-clutter” yourportfolio periodically by sellingthose extraneous investmentsand using the proceeds to helppurchase others that may bemore effective in helping youmake progress toward your fi-nancial goals.

• Consolidate your investmentsin one place. As you cleanyour house, you may find that

you have many common items,such as brooms, hammers,duct tape and so on, scatteredamong various rooms. It mightbe more efficient to keep allsuch objects in one central lo-cation; this can help preventyou from needlessly replacingor duplicating them. As an in-vestor, you may have an IrAwith one financial servicesprovider, an old 401(k) with adifferent one, and some otherinvestments with yet anotherinstitution. If you consolidatedall these investment vehicleswith one provider, you mightbe able to save some fees andexpenses. Perhaps even moreimportantly, by uniting all yourinvestments in one place, youmay find it easier to follow a

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.

one of the most common stresses to our bodythat leads to injury is maintaining prolonged peri-ods in the same position. Sitting at a computer,watching tv or driving a car for any length of timeis what the majority of us are faced with daily. todo these activities with poor posture only compli-cates the situation. to maintain these sustainedstationary positions requires our bodies to contractcertain muscles, which reduces the blood flow andoxygen getting to them and causes them to fa-tigue. the human body is meant to be moving;therefore stopping every 30 minutes for 30 sec-onds with a microbreak can help to combat fatigueand the cumulative effects of repetitive stress.

Microbreaks offer our bodies the ability to resetand alleviate any built up tension and stress. all itrequires are short moments throughout the daywhere you stretch or flex the muscles that are tootight or too loose.

a good microbreak to consider when sittingwould be squeezing your shoulder blades to-gether, raising your shoulders up then depressingthem, pelvic tilts, lateral pelvic tilts and cervicalstretches and range of motion exercises. Whilestanding you can perform a back extensionstretch, hamstring stretch, a chest stretch while

reaching backin a door jambor try reachingboth armsabove yourhead and thenpretend likeyou are climb-ing a ladder.

the idea is tochange yourpositions fre-quently and activate the in-hibited musclesand stretch thecontractedones. Creatingthe habit is thechallenge but be proactive and don’t wait untilsymptoms start.

Microbreaks will decrease fatigue and have apositive effect on your well being. rememberevery so often the lumberjack needs to stop andsharpen his axe. keep your “axe” sharp and takea microbreak!

continued from page 86central, unified investment strategy.

• Check for “gaps” in your financial strategy. Every spring,it’s a good idea to check yourgutters for leaks, your side-walks for cracks and your paintfor chips. By doing so, you’llhelp protect your home andsurroundings. To help protectyour family’s future, it’s impor-tant to have adequate life anddisability insurance.

• Plant seeds for growth. Whenspring arrives, it’s time to plantthe seeds for your flowers andvegetables. As an investor, youalso have to be concernedabout growth. specifically,you’ll want to consider invest-ments that have the potential togrow enough to help provide

the financial resources to meetyour long-term goals, such as acomfortable retirement. Conse-quently, you should reviewyour portfolio to determine if itcontains an appropriateamount of growth-oriented ve-hicles for your individual ob-jectives, time horizon and risktolerance.

• Seek professional assistance.When you’re tidying up forspring, you may find some jobsthat you can’t do alone, suchas cleaning a heavily stainedcarpet, unclogging a blockeddrain or trimming the highestbranches on a tree. For thesetasks, you might need to call intrained professionals. It’s thesame with investing: You cando some things on your own,but for complex tasks such ascreating and maintaining an

appropriate investment strat-egy, you may need to workwith a financial professional.

Consider putting these spring-cleaning tips to work soon. Theymay just help put some sparkleand shine into your financial“house.”

All about Personal InjuryThe area of law pertaining to

personal injury covers a broadspectrum of pos-sibilities. Per-sonal injury canresult from an au-tomobile acci-dent, an accidenton someone else’sproperty, or from a“slip and fall.” Theinjury can also becaused by a ma-chine, or a product.It can include acase where yousustain damageas a result ofmalpractice.The responsi-ble party may

be an individual, a business oreven a governmental municipal-ity. The advice and assistance ofa competent and caring lawyer isinvaluable in any case involvingpersonal injury. This is truewhether you or a loved one isthe injured party or the party re-sponsible for the injury.

Auto Accidents: from Fender Benders to FatalitiesNew York state uses a “No-

Fault” system under which youcan collect from your own insur-ance carrier for medical andeconomic damages (not to ex-ceed $50,000.00 for basic no

fault coverage) resulting from in-juries sustained in a car acci-dent, regardless of who is atfault. However, the No-Fault lawalso limits the instances wherean accident victim can sue thenegligent operator and/or ownerof an insured vehicle for per-sonal injuries. The “No-Fault”Law permits a lawsuit to recoverdamages for such things as:

– Medical and economic losseswhen they exceed the sum of$50,000.00;

– “Pain and suffering” if the injury is a “serious injury” asdefined by the No-Fault Law;or

– Injury resulting in death.

continuedintricate timetables and require-ments unique to different areasof personal injury law. For exam-ple, in cases involving wrongdo-ing by a governmental agency ormunicipality, a document calleda “Notice of Claim” must be served upon the appropriate en-tity within 90 days. If this is not done, the injured party cannotmaintain a lawsuit for damages.A competent attorney will alsoprovide the professional assis-tance you need to help you col-lect the benefits you are entitledto from your “No-Fault” carrier.

NOTE: Have you and yourloved ones purchased underin-sured and uninsured motoristcoverage to protect you in theevent you are injured in an auto-mobile accident with someonewho has low or minimum cover-

age, or is uninsured altogether?Minimum coverage in New Yorkis only $25,000.00.If you have been injured at

your workplace and are receiv-ing Workers Compensation Ben-efits, your attorney may still beable to successfully recovermoney damages from a thirdparty that may have caused orcontributed to your injury. Forexample, an employee may notbe limited to Workers Compen-sation benefits if the injury re-sulted from equipment that wasnot properly serviced, main-tained or repaired by someoneother than the employer. Did youknow that you may be entitled torecovery of money damages forthe injuries resulting from a fallfrom a ladder? In fact, injuries re-sulting from ladders, scaffoldingor other apparatus used at the

workplace have their ownunique rules permitting recoveryunder a wide range of circum-stances. This theory is referred toas “strict liability.”In future articles we will dis-

cuss different areas of interest in-cluding the process of buyingand selling a home in today’s tu-multuous market, matrimoniallaw and wills and estate plan-ning.

L E G A L - E A S E

by Joseph a. Bollhofer, Esq. Do you want to leave some-

thing to your loved ones afteryou die, but think there shouldbe ‘strings attached’?Are you concerned that a dis-

abled family member might losegovernment benefits if he or sheinherits money?Are you disabled?Do you want to plan for your

long term care?Do you want to avoid probate?Do you want to reduce or

eliminate taxes that your estatemight pay after your death?For any of these reasons, a

trust could be the answer.A trust is simply an arrange-

ment where someone (a“trustee”) manages property ofany kind for the benefit of an-other (a “beneficiary”). There aremany different types of trusts.They can be complex or rathersimple. They can be in Wills orstand on their own. They can berevocable or irrevocable. There are many reasons to cre-

ate trusts, in addition to protect-ing beneficiaries from their ownfoolishness, spendthrift ways,creditors or estranged spouses.Trusts are often created for taxreasons, financial reasons, chari-table reasons and to maintaincontrol. Eligibility to receive orcontinue receiving Medicaid andother governmental benefits arealso primary reasons to create atrust.

Part of the beauty of a trust isthat you can set it up virtuallyhowever you want to, as long asit is legal. The specific desires ofa trust creator, and the needs ofthe creator and proposed benefi-ciaries, must be taken into con-sideration. often, property put into a trust

creates income, and that incomeis used for the benefit of certainpersons during their lifetimes.After their deaths, the remainder(principal and unspent income)either is paid to the “remainderbeneficiaries” or continues to beheld in trust until they reach acertain age or some other eventoccurs, as stated in the trust. The trustee’s authority and dis-

cretion are sometimes carefullylimited and sometimes not so.The creator of a trust can give atrustee authority to pay all or partof the property of a trust to bene-ficiaries equally or otherwise.sometimes a trustee is not per-mitted to pay anything but in-come to a beneficiary.sometimes a trustee has author-ity to end the trust before itwould otherwise end. The reason or reasons for cre-

ating a trust will determine thetype of trust and the language tobe included. A trust structure thatworks for one person may haveadverse unforeseen conse-quences for another. For exam-ple, transferring property into aMedicaid asset protection trust

might be a good idea for a per-son or married couple who arerelatively healthy, but not forsomeone, single or married, whoit appears will need care in askilled nursing facility in the nearfuture. Then again, such a trustmight be just the right option forthat person.Persons in second marriages

and unmarried persons in longterm relationships have circum-stances that call for many ques-tions to be asked and scenariosto be explored. The length oftheir relationship, their relativefinancial situations, whether theykeep their assets separate, howthey feel about their children andwhether they have a prenuptialagreement are just some of thefactors to be considered in deter-mining how to proceed. A trustof some sort is usually wise, evenif it is a simple trust contained ina Will.Whether a trust should be rev-

ocable or irrevocable dependson several factors. The most im-portant of these is the issue ofwhether the creator needs orlikely will need part or all of theasset(s) to be transferred into thetrust. If the answer is ‘no’, an ir-revocable trust could be appro-priate and useful. In this type oftrust, typically the creator only isentitled to the income created bythe trust assets. However, insome types of irrevocable trusts,

H E A L T H N O T E S

by William Kent, Bc-HIsAmericans love their electron-

ics, smart phones, tablet comput-ers, digital cameras, HDTV’s,e-book readers, MP3 players,and hearing aids (oops, thosewords ‘hearing aids’ are old, let’sre-name them). That’s right –new, sleek, state-of-the-art, life-altering hearing instruments(that’s better). As contoured andfuturistic as the most highlystyled electronic device – or sodiscreet that they are virtually in-visible – today’s hearing instru-ments are the high-tech“anti-aging” tool that can helpkeep life-long Gen-xers andbaby boomers socially, cogni-tively and physically active. At itsbest, technology offers solutions,enriches life and makes us moreefficient. Today’s modern hearinginstruments do all three.For more than 34 million

Americans hearing loss is part oflife. Most frequently, it resultsfrom repeated exposure to loudnoises – at concerts, nightclubs,sporting events, crowded restau-rants, loud workplaces and soon. In many ways, hearing loss isthe unintended by-product of lifefully lived – that is, before weknew better about how to protectour hearing in such noisy envi-ronments. But when ignored andleft unaddressed, hearing lossrobs from life. It isolates, it debil-itates and it diminishes quality oflife and it even takes a toll on fi-

nancial well being, by cuttinginto earnings potential. Perhaps,most notable, unaddressed hear-ing loss creates barriers and un-necessarily strains even the bestof relationships.

But listen up now! It doesn’thave to, and it shouldn’t. Theoverwhelming majority of peoplewith hearing loss can benefitfrom hearing instruments. Eightout of ten hearing instrumentusers say they are satisfied withthe changes that have occurredin their lives, specifically, due totheir hearing instruments – fromhow they feel about themselvesto the positive effects hearing in-struments have on their socialand work lives.

High-performance technologyand style have merged withdurability and ease-of-use whenit comes to today’s hearing in-struments. The options are so var-ied, in fact, that there is anattractive solution for just aboutanyone; today’s high-tech hear-ing aids can be discreet or as vis-ible as you like. Top designer’soffer styles that appeal to thefashion conscious, the trendset-ter, party-goer, the intellectual orsports enthusiast. Now designerstyles and colors can make theaverage guy who is tired of argu-ing with his wife and kids aboutthe volume on the TV feel morecomfortable and confident wear-ing hearing instruments. simply put, today’s hearing in-

struments transcend the old-world notion about hiding a con-dition as common as hearingloss. Whether they sit discreetlyunnoticeable inside your earcanal, or wrap aestheticallyaround the contour of your outerear like the latest fashion acces-sory, today’s high-performancehearing instruments selectivelyamplify life. They do un-abashedly send the message:“I’m too young and full of life tostop doing the things I love best.”If you think you or someone youcare about is struggling with un-addressed hearing loss ask your-self, or them, these questions:

• Do you seem to have troublehearing on the telephone?

• Is it more difficult for you tofollow conversations when twoor more people are talking atthe same time?

• Do you keep turning up the TVor radio?

• Do you sometimes miss a tele-phone ring or doorbell?

• Do you seem more irritated ortired at big family or socialgatherings?

If the answer to some or all ofthese questions is yes, it’s time totake that first step toward regain-ing the reins on life. Make an ap-pointment with a hearing healthprofessional, take a hearing test,

What is a Pelvic Fracture (Hip Fracture)?

A pelvic fracture is a crack orbreak in one or more of thepelvic bones, which are locatedat the base of the spine. Thepelvis is often referred to as partof the hip. (When you “put yourhands on your hips,” your handsare actually resting on yourpelvic bones.) A pelvic fracturecan result from a low-impact orhigh-impact event.

Low-impact pelvic fracturesmost commonly occur in twoage groups: adolescents and theelderly. Adolescents typically ex-perience fractures of the tips ofone of the pelvic bones, resultingfrom an athletic injury (football,hockey, skiing) or an activitysuch as jogging. Pelvic fracturesalso can occur after minor fallsin people with osteoporosis oreven occur spontaneously whenbones are weak. The elderly fre-quently suffer fractures of thethicker part of the pelvic bones.These “pelvic ring fractures” re-sult from falling onto the side ofthe hip. These falls can becaused by balance problems, vi-sion problems, medication sideeffects, general frailty, or unin-tended obstacles such as pets un-derfoot, slippery floors, orrumpled rugs. Low-impact pelvicfractures often are mild fractures,and they may heal with severalweeks of rest. Physical therapy isvery helpful in restoring strengthand balance in these cases.

High-impact pelvic fracturesmost commonly result frommajor incidents such as a motorvehicle accidents, a pedestrianbeing struck by a vehicle, or afall from a high place. Thesepelvic fractures can be life-threatening, require emergencyroom care, surgery, and exten-sive physical therapy rehabilita-tion.

How Can a Physical TherapyHelp?Pelvic fracture recovery often

involves surgery or long periodsof bed rest. In the case of ath-letes, avoidance of sport activi-ties is recommended until painhas resolved. During these peri-ods of rest, which are usuallyweeks to months, a person oftenloses strength, flexibility, en-durance, and balance abilities.Physical therapy can help you

recover from a pelvic fracture byimproving your:• Pain level• Hip, spine, and leg motion• strength• Flexibility• speed of healing• speed of return to activityand sport

Your physical therapist will de-sign a specific treatment programto speed your recovery, includingexercises and treatments youshould do at home. This programwill help you return to your nor-mal life and activities and reachyour recovery goals.

Reduce PainTherapists can use different

types of treatments and technolo-gies to control and reduce yourpain, including ice, heat, ultra-sound, electrical stimulation,taping, exercises, and specialhands-on techniques called man-ual therapy that gently moveyour muscles and joints.

Improve Motion Your PT will choose specific

activities and treatments to helprestore normal movement in theleg and hip. These might startwith passive motions that he orshe applies to your leg and hipjoint, and progress to active exer-cises and stretches that you per-form yourself. Treatment caninvolve hands-on manual ther-apy techniques called “triggerpoint release” and “soft tissuemobilization,” as well as specificstretches to muscles that might

be abnormally tight.

Improve StrengthCertain exercises will benefit

your healing at each stage of re-covery, and your physical thera-pist will choose and teach youan individualized exercise pro-gram that will restore yourstrength, power, and agility.These exercises may be per-formed using free weights,stretch bands, weight-liftingequipment, and cardio exercisemachines such as treadmills andstationary bicycles. For pelvicfractures, muscles of the hip andcore are often targeted by thestrength exercises.

Return to ActivitiesYour therapist will collaborate

with you to decide on your re-covery goals, including return towork and sport. Your treatmentprogram will be designed to helpyou reach these goals in thesafest, fastest and most effectiveway possible. Your physical ther-apist will use hands-on therapyand teach you exercises andwork re-training activities. Ath-letes will be taught sport-specifictechniques and drills to helpachieve sports-specific goals.

Can this Injury or Condition be Prevented?Pelvic fracture can be pre-

vented by:• Warming up before startingany sport or heavy physical ac-tivity. Your warm-up should in-clude stretches taught to youby your physical therapist, in-cluding stretches for the mus-cles on the front, side, andback of the hip.

• Increasing the intensity of anactivity or sport gradually, notsuddenly. Avoid pushing your-self too hard, too fast, toosoon.

• Following a reasonable andsafe nutritional plan. Nutri-tional factors can contribute to

by dr. Linda m. BocchichioWinter with its slippery roads

and walkways, could put you atrisk for a whiplash injury.That’sright, most of us think ofwhiplash as a neck injury follow-ing a rear-end collison. Whilethis may be the most commonknown cause of whiplash injury,many patients who have ‘slipand fall’ accidents actually turnout to have serious whiplash in-juries.Any sudden action that thrusts

the head back and forth or to theside beyond its normal range cancause serious injury to the neck.Whether through a sports mishapor a slip off the sidewalk curb, aninjury of this type can cause themuscles and ligaments support-ing the head and neck to beoverstretched or torn. This canlead to severe irritation of the

nerves in the spine.

Why you need chiropractic careWhiplash injuries are prima-

rily structural in nature. That’swhy a structural type of treat-ment is required if normal func-tion is to be restored. Nomedication can realign the spineand correct the source ofwhiplash pain.That’s were chiropractors can

help. Through chiropractic carewe help mobilize the joints, re-move nerve irritation and pain,

and restore neck function gettingyou back to normal and feelingyourself again.

How chiropractic helps to heal whiplash

• Increases range of motion

• Helps lubricate joints

• stimulates production of en-dorphins to reduce pain

• Improves circulation

• speeds the healing process

• Breaks down scar tissue.

by ron Villano, m.s., LmHc, asac, ccHDo you find yourself wander-

ing into the kitchen, looking inthe fridge or cupboard, whenyou are really looking for some-thing to do? or are you just tiredof hearing the kids complain that“they can’t find anything to do!”Whether you are searching forfun for yourself, or for your fam-ily, it’s time to get a game plan –and get a cupboard jar! All youneed is some paper, a pen and ajar and start writing.Make a list of the things you

enjoy doing and things that youhave always wanted to do. Hob-bies, activities, places to visit,people to reconnect with. Espe-cially those things that you al-ways wanted to do “when youwere not busy.” Now is exactlythe time you’ve been looking for.Make a thoughtful and creative

list. remember – there’s nothingright or wrong to put down. Eventhings that you aren’t sure how todo, but just want to try. Grabonto the excitement of doingsomething new. Just throw it inthe jar.Think about all those things

And what better idea thanto reconnect as a family whilegetting this cupboard job filledwith plenty of slips of paper tokeep things going. Ask them fortheir own ideas. Take the time toconsider all options.Having some trouble getting a

good list going? Check the news-paper, search on line, and askaround. Many of local storeshave free events. Ask a friendwhat types of things they dowhen they are bored. And of

course, right here at home, wehave many activities just waitingto be discovered.Now take each of these and

ideas going, feel free to keepadding and adding to the jarwhen an idea pops into yourmind. The good news is that youcan always add or take away ac-tivities. If you tried one and justdidn’t enjoy it, take it out of thejar. If you liked it, put it back.And, even better, you can alwaysadd to the jar anytime you comeacross something that catches

once again it’s that time of the yearWhen we celebrate st. patrick’s day!With parades and social gatheringsBut for the Irish, it’s spring’s “first day!”

this tradition goes a long way backWhich stirs up memories of all in the clanof how their forebears left the “ole’ sod”to come to the american Land.

What prompted this was the “potato famine”causing Ireland a great loss of life!and drove many souls from that landto seek a place with much less strife!

History books record all of the detailsand although these facts may make some frown,most of the depicted “troubles”Have been charged to the “English crown.”

Just the other night, while in a pubI heard some people singing Irish tunes!upon stopping that, they recited poems,that seemed as old as ancient moons!

one young fellow there said that his father,Who was a member of the l.r.a.!Would have loved to be at this partyand would surely have something to say!

He recently commented while at another party,Which was nearby and close to central park,“the reason that the sun never sets on English soil,Is because god doesn’t trust them “after dark!”

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

When I look into a mirrorthe reflection that I seeIs not quite the youthful image,my mind sees of me

the face I see before meHas a head that’s nearly bareWhile the head that’s in my mindIs covered with wavy hair

and what of all those musclesthat were bulging here and therethey too, it seem disappearedJust like my wavy hair

now when you look in a mirrordo you see the same as I,Is that image there before yousome unbelievable lie

so, what happened to the youththe one with the wavy hairthe guy with all those musclesmy mind saw standing there

the answer is very simpleIt’s very plain to seethe reflection in the mirrorIs the picture of maturity.

Buying locally is a great way forconsumers to find the products andservices they're looking for and helptheir local economy along the way.the small businesses in your com-munity may be owned by your nextdoor neighbor, who relies on his orher fellow townspeople to keep thebusiness going strong.

Buying locally is not only benefi-cial for local business owners, butbuying locally benefits consumersand members of the community in anumber of ways.

• Buying locally creates jobs. thenumber of unemployed men andwomen has gradually declined inrecent years, but those figures arestill high in many communities.Buying locally creates jobs in yourcommunity, potentially creating ajob for you or a friend or familymember.

• Buying locally helps the environ-ment. Buying within your commu-nity reduces the amount of fuelyou're likely to use for a weekendshopping trip while also reducingpollution. in addition, many localstore owners use local materialsand ingredients, reducing theamount of fuel consumed to getproducts into the store.

• Buying locally creates a moreclosely knit community. Juggling a

career and a family can make ithard for men and women to get toknow their neighbors and othermembers of their community. Buy-ing locally is an opportunity tostrengthen that bond with yourneighbors, creating a close knitcommunity in which residents mayfeel safer and more comfortable.

• Buying locally is more conven-ient. Convenience is paramount tomany consumers, and buying lo-cally saves both time and money.driving to a faraway mall or shop-ping center or paying costly onlineshipping fees is not nearly asquick or convenient as shoppingwithin your community, where youcan purchase and take homeitems on the same day withoutusing a full tank of gas or payingfor shipping.

• Buying locally benefits your localeconomy. in 2004, the consul-

tancy Civic economics was com-missioned by Chicago's anderson-ville Chamber of Commerce toexamine the economic impact of10 local businesses against that ofchain businesses. the studyfound that of every $100 spent atlocal businesses, $68 remained inthe local economy, while only $43of every $100 spent at chainstores remained in the local econ-omy. that's a significant boost toyour local economy, and all it re-quires is shopping at local retail-ers.

• Buying locally can increase yourproperty value. Homeownersmight be able to increase thevalue of their homes by buying lo-cally. a joint study from Independ-ent We Stand and CivicEconomics found that cities with astrong centralized small businessdistrict had a 54 percent greaterincrease in property values thancommunities that did not havesuch a district. a more thrivinglocal community, including a thriv-ing shopping district, is no doubtattractive to prospective homebuyers.

the reasons for shopping locallyare many. in addition to helpinglocal business owners, consumerswho shop locally are also helpingthemselves.

When a Trust Can Be Usefulcontinued from page 92the creator also gives up the rightto income.Commonly, the creator’s resi-

dence is transferred into an irrev-ocable trust, with the creatorkeeping the right to live in thehouse under the same circum-stances as before the transfer oc-curred, including continuedeligibility for property tax ex-emptions. The creator usually hasthe right to tell the trustee to sellthe residence, and to buy a sub-stitute residence if desired. Anyincome created by trust assetstypically belongs to the creator,with the assets being distributedamong remainder beneficiariesafter the creator’s death. If thetrust is written correctly, assetscan be protected against Medi-caid reimbursement claims andreceive a ‘step-up’ in tax basisafter the creator’s death, which

reduces capital gains tax liability. The goals and circumstances

of those considering trusts varygreatly. It is important when cre-ating your plan to get good ad-vice so that you know what youare doing is right for you, both inthe short term and in the longterm.
