Lucas hasgreat friends at Sts.Phillip and James. Oneof his special friends isTyler Farrell. They havebeen very close sincethey met in Pre-K andare true buddies. Tylerlost his mother at a young age.She was a student at SSPJ andloved children dearly. TheChurch and School are raisingmoney for a memorial play-ground in her memory.When dreaming up the idea of

hosting a lemonade stand as kidsdo, Lucas started to think aboutsomething much bigger. He de-cided he wanted to raise moneyfor the memorial playground tohonor Tyler’s mother. We startedto brainstorm locations, andreached out to the Elk’s ClubLodge on Edgewood Avenue.

President Ken Donato was fan-tastic in allowing Lucas to hostthe stand on their property andsupplied the ice as well as mak-ing a generous donation. In addi-tion, members Betty and GeorgeBoyd helped to arrange the eventand sent out a call to their mem-bers to ask for support. They toowere very generous. The re-sponse was overwhelming! ManyElk’s Club members came to sup-port Lucas’s cause and were in-credibly generous. Special thanks to Sal Coppola

from Villa Sorrento, in St. James,

for lending ten galloncoolers for the eventand Smithtown Min-uteman Press for do-nating promotionalsigns. Lucas raised$483. It is a day wewill never forget.Lucas, son of Justineand Klaus Hoffmann,was thrilled. Thank youto all who came outand supported him!If you would like to

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

with this article, I am focusingon the history of the “Great Es-tates of st. James.” from its in-ception, st. James always had anumber of large estates withinits boundaries. that is still truetoday, especially when you re-member that the incorporatedvillages of head of the harborand nissequogue are withinthe postal district of st.James.the first of these large estateswere located along northCountry road, and for that rea-son, I have chosen to writeabout Deepwells, a smith fam-ily home that was built in 1845.this article first appeared in thelong Island historical Journal,Vol. 19, nos.1-2, fall of2006/spring of 2007.

In 1992, the house todayknown as Deepwells and thir-teen acres of open land sur-rounding it, were purchased bySuffolk County and added to theSuffolk County parks system.Back in 1987, when the pur-chase of the property was a hotlycontested issue in the SuffolkCounty Legislature, LegislatorSteven Englebright suggested thatthe estate would become “acrown jewel” of Suffolk County’sparks. Deepwells has alwaysbeen a gem because of itssparkling classic beauty and ar-chitectural style. It is a “crownjewel” because of its rich historyand the fascinating story of thelives of the people who madeDeepwells their home.Built between 1845 and 1847,

the house is a classic example ofGreek Revival architecture. Thehouse was built for Joel LouisGriffing Smith, a sixth generationdescendant of Richard Smythe,the founder of Smithtown. In1845, Joel L.G. Smith commis-sioned the artisan George Curtisto build a house for him. Curtis

“came to Smithtown from NewJersey before 1810, the year hemarried Elizabeth, a daughter ofCharles Smith.” He lived onThree Sisters Road in St. James.By the time Smith commissionedhim, Curtis had become a mas-ter-builder having built the Pres-byterian Church (1823-1825)and the Presbyterian Manse(1835) in Smithtown Branch. Ac-cording to local tradition, Smithasked that Curtis build “a fancier,more elegant home than hiscousin, William Wickham Mills,”built in 1838 at Mills Pond in St.James. That house was designedby a New York City architectnamed Calvin Pollard and wasbuilt on a Georgian, five bay,center hall plan, with Greek re-vival detailing. At the time it wasbuilt in 1838, the Mills PondHouse was the grandest house inSmithtown. It was this house thatSmith wanted Curtis to emulate.(Barbara Van Liew, “Deepwells,”Preservation Notes, Fall/Winter,1979, p. 9.)Construction of the Smith

house that we know as Deep-wells began in 1845 on ten acres

of land that Smith purchasedfrom Gamaliel Taylor, anotherdescendant of Richard Smythe.The house was built on the northside of North Country Road onthe crest of a small hill thatmakes the house even more im-posing. The home that Curtisbuilt for Smith is fancier andmore elegant than the Mills PondHouse, a fact that is easily seenwhen the two houses are com-pared.The differences between the

two houses can be found in thefinishing touches. The Smithhouse has a one story verandathat runs completely across theface of the house. The verandaroof is supported by six flutedcolumns with “carved capitals”that rest on a “granite foundationwith flagstone flooring,” whilethe Mills Pond House has only aportico. The Smith house has aservice wing that is set at rightangles to the main house whilethe Mills house has the wing extending parallel to the mainblock of the house. The place-ment of the service wing

Deepwells: A Crown Jewel in St. James

continued from page 28accentuates the classical Greeklines of the Smith house. TheSmith house has “fully enclosedpediments on the end gables,”while the Mills house “has only‘returns’ suggesting pediments.”The Smith house has a cupolawhich “crowns the roof” whilethe Mills house has none. TheSmith house has beautifullycarved trim or molding through-out. The molded plasterworkthroughout the house gives abeauty and elegance not foundin the Mills house. “The finishedhouse thus exceeded the grand-est house in Smithtown” and JoelL.G. Smith could rightfully claimhe had the finest house in Smith-town. (Final Environmental Im-pact Statement for Deepwells,June 1988, sections on “Designand Construction” and “Histori-cal and Architectural Impor-

tance,” prepared by NicholasLanghart, architectural historian,pp. 97-102. On file in the L.I.Room of the Smithtown Library.)What sets Deepwells apart

from most other historical sitesand makes it a “crown jewel” isits rich history. The people wholived here and the events thattranspired in their lives give thishouse a fascinating and uniquehistory.Joel Louis Griffing Smith

(1819-1876) was the son ofNathaniel and Sarah (Floyd)Smith, the foster brother and sister who grew up together atSherrewogue in St. James, fell inlove and got married. (CharlotteGanz, ed., Colonel Rockwell’sScrapbook, Smithtown, NewYork: Smithtown Historical Society, 1968, p. 167.) They inherited the family home at



a fully enclosed pediment on a cor-ner of Deepwells showing the intri-cate hand carved detailing on theCorinthian columns and the over-hang trim.

continued from page 30Sherrewogue and it was here thatJoel was born and spent hischildhood. As a young man hestudied medicine in New YorkCity while living with an uncle.After his uncle’s death, Smith re-turned to Smithtown to managehis 600 acre estate which in-cluded fruit and other farm prod-ucts. This must have beensometime after 1840 when Joel’sfather Nathaniel died and lefthim a sizeable inheritance. Itwas then that Joel began to courtAnna Willis Lawrence. (Final En-vironmental Impact Statementfor Deepwells, op. cit., p. 101.)The Lawrences lived on the

west bank of the NissequogueRiver and Joel’s home was on theeast bank. Joel was constantlycrossing the river at the “goingover” to be with her. (The ‘goingover’ is a shallow spot in the Nis-sequogue that was used as a fordat low tide and is located whereMoriches Road once ended atthe riverbank.) The ebb and flowof the tides must have put acrimp in his wooing but Joel suc-ceeded in convincing Anna to behis bride.Joel and Anna were married

shortly after Anna’s 20th birth-day, in a ceremony that tookplace in Smithtown on August 5,1845. It was at this time that Joelcommissioned Curtis to build hiselegant home. When the housewas finished in 1847, Joel andhis beloved Anna moved in, withtheir new baby girl, AnnaLawrence, born July 12, 1846.But on October 8, 1849, Annasickened and died suddenly, atthe young age of 24. Grief-stricken, Joel turned to membersof his family and the Lawrencefamily for comfort and help inraising his infant daughter. Heseems to have found an under-standing and sympathetic soul inAnna’s younger sister, SarahAmelia. Joel married Sarah onMay 9, 1850, just six monthsafter his wife had passed away.

Joel brought Sarah to live in theelegant home in St. James, and ayear later, on May 25, 1851, theyoung couple were blessed withthe birth of a son, Louis JoelSmith. Joel and Sarah lived hap-pily with their two children inthe finest house in Smithtownuntil tragedy struck again. OnJanuary 24, 1857, after sevenyears of marriage, Sarah sud-denly died. She was just 29.(Frederick Kinsman Smith, TheFamily of Richard Smith ofSmithtown, L.I., Smithtown, N.Y.:Smithtown Historical Society,1967, p. 259.)Joel had lived in his dream

house a total of ten years. Hehad lost two wives and wasagain a widower with two smallchildren, Anna (10) and Louis(5). Following Sarah’s death, Joeldecided to sell his house. Mapsmade in 1858 indicate that hesold the house and property to aman named W.M. Pullis. Mr.Pullis owned the house until Mil-ton Haven Smith purchased itsometime before 1873. Notmuch is known about MiltonSmith (1850-1915), but local his-torian Colonel Rockwell noted inhis Scrapbook that Milton H.Smith was “of New York,” which

presumably means New YorkCity. (Charlotte Ganz, ed., op.cit., p. 167.) How long Milton H.Smith owned the house, andwhether he and his family livedin it is not known. But it isknown that Clinton H. Smith ac-quired the property from MiltonH. Smith, and that by 1897, Clin-ton H. Smith was living in thehouse. (Frederick KinsmanSmith, op. cit., pp. 535-536.)Clinton H. Smith does not

seem to be a member of theRichard Smythe clan, at leastthere is no mention of him inKinsman Smith’s The Family ofRichard Smith. But he may havebeen a distant cousin of theSmithtown Smiths. In any event,he becomes a tragic hero in locallore and his story is much too in-volved to cover in this issue ofour town, so Clinton Smith’sstory will have to wait until nextmonth.editor’s note: Brad harris is the town of smithtown’sofficial historian. Brad was a high schoolsocial studies teacher who spent 30years teaching in Commack. as historianhe has written many newspaper articleson the history of our town, he has pub-lished pamphlets and written histories ofCommack, nesconset, st. James, KingsPark, hauppauge and smithtown Branch.he resides in st. James.

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.

gENTLE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF:• Back/Leg pain (Sciatica, disc problems) • Neck/Arm pain (Numbness, Tingling)

• Whiplash injuries • Sports injuries • pinched Nerves • TmJ disorders • Scoliosis • headaches

WE ACCEPT• Worker’s Compensation • No fault (auto) • Union Plans • Major Medical • etc...

Member:• american Chiropractic association • american Chiropractic association Sports Council• International Chiropractic association • NYS Chiropractic association• Council on Diagnostic Imaging • american Medical athletic association

Many of us go through each day typing on a com-puter, bending or lifting items, gardening, taking care ofour children and playing sports. If not done properly,these activities can cause pain or injury which may become chronic if left untreated. Back pain is pervasivein our society. Eighty percent of us will suffer from it atsome point in our lives, and fifty percent of us will sufferfrom back pain this year alone. Low-back pain is themost common work complaint experienced by ameri-cans today.

Because of the importance of taking care of the backand spine, the american Chiropractic association (aCa)recognizes the month of october as a national observa-tion for Spinal Health.

It is important to recognize maintenance of the spine,as the central nervous system originates in the brainand channels down through the spinal column, extend-ing to every part of the body. a misalignment of the vertebrae of the spine may result in nerve interference,resulting in headaches, low-back and neck pain, amongother problems.

Listen to your body. Use preventive measures at workand at home. the following tips can help reduce the riskof spinal injury.

• While at the office, remember to take frequentstretch breaks while working on your computer.

• While working on your computer, sit with your knees

at approximately a 90- to 120-degree angle. Usingan angled footrest to support your feet may help yousit more comfortably.

• Make sure your chair fits correctly. allow for twoinches between the front edge of the seat and theback of your knees. the chair should tilt back soyou can rest while your reading what is on your com-puter screen.

• avoid twisting and turning motions. always bendfrom the knees, not your waist, when lifting anythingheavier than 10 percent of your body weight, suchas a child or a heavy box.

• Warm up and stretch before any physical activity, in-cluding all sports, raking, gardening and shovelingsnow. Be aware of your body form and technique;stand as erect as possible and let your legs andarms do the work, not your back. allow your bodyand muscles time to cool down after such an activity.

• It is important to get a good night’s rest. Choose acomfortable supportive mattress as well as a pillowthat supports the weight of your head, reducing therisk of back or neck pain.

the key to spinal health is prevention; listen to yourbody’s warning signals and adjust your lifestyle. If you do experience pain for more than one or two days despite using these preventive measures, consult a professional.

Fall is thetime of theyear when weare turningour thoughtsto home –getting ready

for guests for the holidays, doinga renovating or decorating proj-ect, and getting back to the post-summer routine. Our homedeserves our attention because itis our safe haven – the place thatnurtures us, protects us, and istruly an extension of ourselves.Perhaps we are unaware of the

hazards and conditions that canmake our home unsafe. So, aswe think about decorating, let’salso think about health andsafety.

the Centers for Disease Control(CDC) has stated:• One in 16 homes have highradon levels (a “hidden” dan-ger that you can’t see or smelland is believed to be the lead-ing cause of lung cancer innon-smokers).

• One in ten have water leaks• One in six have structuralproblems

• One in four have lead-basedpaint

• One in four do not have aworking smoke alarm

What you should be doing:• Get a radon test kit at one ofthe home improvement stores.

• Install smoke alarms on everyfloor, especially near bed-rooms, tested monthly, withbatteries changed every year.

• Carbon monoxide detectorsshould be installed near bed-rooms, as well.

• Smoking is always hazardous,but never allow anyone tosmoke in your home.

• Clean up clutter everywhere so

insects and rodents don’t havea place to burrow, includingattics, basements, and garages

• Keep electrical cords safelyagainst walls to avoid trippinghazards

If your home was built before1978, test for lead paint and re-pair or replace in a safe mannerto avoid spreading lead dust. Al-ways use safe cleaning and pestcontrol products, locking themup and disposing of them prop-erly.To stop cockroaches, ants, or

rodents, make sure openings in-side and outside are sealed, putaway food, clean up and covertrash and garbage and never usebug bombs or foggers.Make sure all medications

have child proof caps and arelocked up in medicine cabinetsaway from children. Clean upmoisture and mold safely andsee that there are exhaust fans inbathrooms and in the kitchen. Ifany one in the family has mobil-ity problems or are aging, installgrab bars on walls next to thetoilet and in shower or tub areas.Safety proof your basement,

utility and laundry rooms, aswell, by setting the water heaterat 120°F to prevent burns,change the furnace/ac filters reg-ularly, vent clothes dryers out-side, test for radon and lock upproducts that could be healthhazards.Stairways and hallways should

be kept free of clutter. Use stairgates at top and bottom of stairsfor young children, fix loosesteps, and make sure there is ahand rail and the carpet is firmlyattached.Furthermore, for young chil-

dren – cushion corners and fire-place hearths. Window stopsshould be installed to preventtoddlers from falling out of sec-ond story windows and I alwaysrecommend cordless windowtreatments to protect against

strangulation.Keep a fire extinguisher handy

(one for every 600 square feet ofliving space) to use – rememberthe word PASS – Pull the pin,Aim at the base of the fire,Squeeze or press the handle, andSweep from side to side at thebase of the fire until it is extin-guished.The health and safety of your

family can be ensured by manycommon-sense practices. Aware-ness is the key. Many accidentscan be avoided by good safetypractices. So, include your fam-ily in your safety projects.Have a safe and healthy fall!

by scott PosnerIf you spend a lot of time on

the internet, you’re not just shop-ping or being entertained, or fol-lowing the news or participatingin an online community. You’reprobably also dealing with ac-counts and information thateventually can become part ofyour digital “estate.” And if thisestate isn’t properly looked after,it can lead to confusion and con-flict among your survivors, aswell as an opportunity for hack-ers to try to get at whatever re-sources they can touch. If you haven’t stopped to think

about it, you might be surprisedat the number of assets thatcould become part of your digi-tal estate. You may have financialaccounts (banking, brokerageand bill-paying); virtual propertyaccounts (air miles, “points” forhotel bookings); business ac-

counts (eBay, Amazon, Etsy); e-mail accounts (Gmail, Outlook,Yahoo); social networking ac-counts (Facebook, Twitter, Insta-gram); online storage accounts(Google Drive, iCloud, Drop-box); and application accounts(Netflix, Kindle, Apple). Given all these areas, how can

you protect and preserve yourdigital estate? Here are a fewsuggestions:

Create a detailed inventory ofdigital assets. Following the cate-gories listed above, draw up alist of all your digital assets.

Document your wishes forhow you want your digital assetsmanaged. If you don’t specifyhow you want your digital assetsmanaged upon your death or in-capacitation, you might be open-ing the door to lengthy legal

battles over access to these as-sets. In a worst-case scenario,your heirs and beneficiariesmight never get the assets youhad intended for them.

name a digital executor inyour last will and testament. Adigital executor can accomplisha variety of tasks related to yourdigital estate, such as transferringonline assets to your heirs; clos-ing accounts you don’t wanttransferred; managing personalmaterials by archiving or deletingfiles, photographs, videos andother content you have created;and, finally, informing onlinecommunities of your passing.When choosing a digital ex-

ecutor, you’ll want someone youcan trust, of course, but you’llalso want to make sure that per-son is skilled enough in technol-

“the reason birds can fly andwe can’t is simply because theyhave perfect faith, for to havefaith is to have wings.” J.M. BARRIE

It is almost November and thisis a good time to get the birdfeeders out. As the days growshorter, colder and the plantsstart to die off so does the animaland bird food supply. Place thefeeders so that you can see themfrom your favorite window,maybe one in the kitchen or thechildren’s bedroom. Once youcommit to feeding the birds youshould stick with it throughoutthe winter and early spring. Theywill come to depend on yourgenerosity. Make sure you have afresh water source for them too.Food left in the feeders overnightmay encourage unwanted visi-tors.It is fun to learn to identify the

different birds and to study theirhabits. Study up on the types thatvisit our area to find out whatkinds of food they prefer. Youmay want to add certain plantsto your garden that will attractother types of birds.The children will probably like

to make those pine cones thatare covered with peanut butterand bird seed. Make a few be-cause the squirrels will mostlikely like them as well. You canalso string those donut-shapedcereal pieces to hang from a

branch.While you are out there col-

lecting your pine cones look forother items to use for your holi-day decorations. A basket of pinecones and the red seed heads ofsumac along with pine branchesmakes a pretty holiday look. Addsome drops of pine, cinnamon orother essential oil to scent theitems. At the end of the season,toss those nice scented itemsinto the fireplace.When doing the last of your

cleanup and pruning, make sureto leave some plants with inter-esting or showy seed heads.Sedum, Cone Flowers, Black-eyed Susan and Crepe Myrtle forexample look lovely with a cov-ering of snow. Something prettyto look at in an otherwise barren,winter landscape.If you, or perhaps your neigh-

bors, have those hay bales for falldecorations, you can repurposethem. Instead of putting them atthe curb, you can quickly makea small compost bin, just putthem end to end in a U shape(you will need at least 3). Thiscan become an extra compostarea for the time being, the baleswill last quite a while, eventuallybreaking down. But use it allwinter long and come springyou’ll have a good start on somegreat nutrients for your garden.If you have plants in contain-

ers that are not cold-hardy youwill need to move them to a pro-

tected place such as your garageor house. The cold hardy plantswill require extra care though.The freezing and thawing candamage the roots. When the soilfreezes, place chicken wirearound the pot, leaving 4-6inches of space between the potand the wire. Then pack itloosely with dry leaves or straw.Since some pot materials such asceramic and terra-cotta mightcrack in the freezing tempera-tures, it may be better to transferthe plant into a temporary plasticpot.You can try and save all those

chrysanthemums you purchasedthis fall. If they are in pots, plantthem in the ground, away fromdry north winds. Water well anddo not prune them, wait untilspring. Mulch with 4-6 inches ofpine needles, straw or othermulching material in late fall.Remove the mulch in spring andcut back the stems.Hope you can enjoy the quiet

solitude of a crisp, late autumnday, there are many busy daysahead of us.

by sally wellingerWhy do we love pumpkins so

much? Whether you like to eatthem or prefer to decorate them,pumpkins are a big part of ourfall festivities. Here is why theyare so important to us. Pumpkins are part of the fam-

ily Cucurbitaceae. Plants that fallin this family usually grow asvines. Other plants that fall inthe family of Cucurbitaceae arecucumbers, watermelons, loofah,zucchini, cantaloupe, gourds,and other squash. Several ofthese plants in this family areknown as the oldest grown do-mesticated plants. Basically, thatmeans that people started grow-ing them for food, which starteda transition from a hunting andgathering society to an agricul-tural society.The bottle gourd which is

thought to have originated inAfrica is the oldest known do-mesticated plant. Scientists be-lieve the plant was domesticatedover 10,000 years ago in Asiaand Central America. Using ra-diocarbon dating, scientists fig-ured out that bottle gourds inNorth and Central America aredescended from the ones thatwere domesticated in Asia. Theythink that Paleo-Indians between10,000-14,000 years agobrought them to North America.Whether pumpkins originated

in North America or are de-scended from some other typesof Cucurbitaceae, like bottlegourds, is still unknown. Regard-less of how they evolved, scien-tists know that pumpkins havebeen around for at least 9,500years in Central America. Peoplein Pre-Columbian America havebeen growing domesticatedpumpkins for over 7,000 years.Even though bottle gourds possi-bly came from Asia, pumpkins,scientifically known as Curcubitapepo, were first found in Centraland North America. That makesthem a native plant in NorthAmerica.

Originally the first pumpkinswere only found in the Americas,but once early explorers, likeColumbus, learned about theamazing squash, the pumpkinsoon found itself on six differentcontinents. Pumpkins quickly re-placed the bottle gourd as themost popular species in the Cu-curbitaceae family.The name “pumpkin” evolved

as the large “melon like” squashtravelled around the world. TheGreek word for large melon ispepon. The French changed it topompon, which the English thenchanged to pumpion. The Ameri-can colonists then changed pum-pion to pumpkin. It is humorousthat pumpkins, which the NativeAmericans often called, isquoter-squash, originated in NorthAmerica, but the name travelledaround the world.Native Americans used pump-

kins in a variety of ways. For me-dicinal purposes, the seeds arethought to be a diuretic, removeworms, reduce fevers, and curebronchitis. The sap and pulp canbe applied to burns. The fruit canbe eaten for fatigue and to purifythe blood or applied to the skinfor cooling and cleansing. Eventhe leaves can be used as a painkiller and to treat nausea. The fruit could be roasted to

eat or dried and cut into strips tomake mats. The hollowed outpumpkin can be used as a cook-ing pot or as a serving bowl. In

fact the pre-cursor to pumpkinpie is thought to be when thecolonists and Native Americanswould hollow out a pumpkin, fillit with milk, spices, and honey.Lastly, roast it in hot ashes until itwas thoroughly cooked. NativeAmericans also consider pump-kins one of the “three sisters”along with corn and beans, andoften planted the three together. Pumpkins need cross fertiliza-

tion for reproducing new plants.Pollinators, like bees, are veryimportant animals that helppumpkins survive as a species.Pumpkins are a good source ofcarotenoids, which provide Vita-min A and many anti-oxidantbenefits, like fighting some can-cers, boosting the immune sys-tem, and helping to preventcardiovascular diseases. Pump-kin seeds are also a good sourceof healthy lipids and proteinsand a fabulous source of fiber. The origins of Jack O’Lanterns

started in Ireland and Scotland. Itcame from a myth about a mannamed “Stingy Jack” that trickedthe devil. He was then forced toroam the night for the rest oftime. During Samhain, theGaelic version of Halloween,lanterns would be lit along path-ways. Children would carve avegetable into a face lantern andcall it “Jack the Lantern.” Theywould place this carved lanternby their door to frighten “StingyJack” away. In Ireland and Scot-land, there were no pumpkinsduring the time of this tradition,so children would carve turnipsand potatoes. When the immi-grants to America brought thetradition with them, they startedusing pumpkins to carve theirJack O‘Lanterns.

SMITHTOWN SWIMMERS SUPPORT CANCER RESEARCH...

‘Egg’-cellentLearning OpportunitiesStudents at St. James Elementary School

are engaged in an outdoor, hands-on learn-ing experience thanks to a new chicken coopand three chickens purchased by the school’sParent Teacher Association. The coop ishoused in an enclosed courtyard area thathas floor to ceiling glass walls, so the chick-ens can be observed at all times.The outdoor learning space will be used

for the study and care of the chickens. Stu-dents in kindergarten through 5th grade willparticipate in observing, learning about andcaring for the chickens. They will also collecteggs daily, which parents can pick up andbring home. “We hope this outdoor learning experi-

ence will help serve as a concrete exampleof the life cycle, a closer connection to ourfood (eggs) and the important role studentswill have in caring for animals,” said St.James Elementary Principal MaryGraceLynch. The chickens have been named for the

three character traits the school will highlightthroughout the year – Aretha (for respect),Teresa (after Mother Teresa for compassion)and Mickey (after John McCain for courage).

H E A L T H N O T E S

by abby Dante, D.C. attrue sport CareWith fall officially in full

swing, things we have been quitebusy. We’ve been working withour local athletes at SmithtownEast and West, helping themhave healthy and pain-free sea-sons. We have also been down atThe Knox School, helping theircollege prep basketball teammanage and prevent injuries during their crucial recruitmentyears. Lastly, the office is bustlingwith many patients preparing forthe NYC Marathon, recoveringfrom their recent Ironman, or justpopping in for their routinemaintenance care. It is a funtime of year and we are alwayshonored to play a role in keepingour community healthy. This fall is also a tad bitter-

sweet for me, as it marks my 10-year anniversary of limping off ofthe soccer field and into the ORwith a knee injury that ended myhigh school athletic career. Thatinjury also happens to be thereason why I do what I do (andwhy my high school patients allhave to endure my long rantsabout ACL injury prevention). Sothis month, I’m here to sharesome ACL knowledge with youall, too. Here’s what we knowabout the dreading ACL injury.

What we know #1:The most common mechanism

for an ACL tear is rapid changein direction, jumping or deceler-ation.

What we know #2:Our athletes are getting

stronger and faster. Off-seasons

are getting shorter and seasonplay is getting more intense. Kidsare specializing in a single sportfrom an earlier age, leading todevelopment of specific motorpatterns. The culture of sport ischanging and our bodies are try-ing to work harder and recoverquicker to keep up with increas-ing demands.

What we know #3:An imbalance between the

quadriceps and hamstring mus-cles is a predictable risk factorfor the ACL tear. It is for this reason that any athletes I see inthe office, especially those inhigh school, all receive a ham-string assessment. Having strongand functional hamstrings areconsidered protective to the ACL,so at the very least, this is some-thing that all coaches and athletes can implement as a formof injury prevention.

What we know #4:Female athletes ages 13-17

have seen a spike in ACL injury59% over the last 13 years. Whysuch a rapid increase? Full dis-closure, part of this spike is attributed simply to more females participating in sportsover recent years. However, wealso have learned that femalesare simply at higher risk for ligament injury. Higher estrogenlevels lead to more ligament laxity, explaining why womenare 4-8 times more likely to suffer an ACL tear during mid-ovulation. Additionally, womenanatomically have wider hips,leading to decreased stability ofknee, hip and ankle joints. It is

for this reason that all athletes I see in office, especially female,receive analysis of hip and anklestabilization.

What we know #5:It is impossible for me to

promise an athlete that they willnever tear an ACL. Similar tohow a dentist cannot promiseyou’ll never get a cavity, but ensures that brushing twice dailydecreases your chances. Weknow that having strong glutesand hamstrings can help preventACL tears. We know that havingstrong and stable hips and an-kles, having a strong core, usingproper recovery techniques andlistening to our bodies aches andpains, can all help prevent in-jury. We also know that just afew minutes of personalized exercises per day can help prevent injury. We must learn towork smarter, not harder, when it comes to taking care of ourbodies.

As always, the team at TrueSport Care is right down the roadto help with all of your needs.Whether you’re battling an ongoing injury or just looking toprevent your next one, we en-courage you to reach out and seewhat we can do to help.

by richard Greco, Pt, atC,CsCsHealthy bones can help you

stay strong 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 im-portant to maintain a physicallyactive lifestyle and eat a bal-anced diet with plenty of cal-cium, vitamin D, and perhapsother supplements as needed. Osteoporosis is a common

bone disease that affects bothmen and women as they age. Itis associated 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 proper

exercise 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

• Inactive lifestyle

• Smoking and Alcohol abuse

Physical therapists can helpprevent osteoporosis and treat its

effects by designing individual-ized exercise 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 fitness Inactivity is a major risk factor

for osteoporosis. The right exer-cises and good habits can keepbones 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 done

continuedregularly. 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, donot begin an exercise programwithout first consulting yourphysician and a physical therapist.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 balance Preserving 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,Tai Chi, and other exercisesgeared toward conditioning, bal-ance and coordination.

bone health begins with Good PostureGood posture and safe move-

ments protect bones from frac-ture during daily activities. Usingproper posture and safe bodymechanics during all activitiesprotects the spine against injury.Here are some tips:

• Keep your back, stomach andleg muscles strong and flexi-ble.

• Do not slouch.

• Use good body positioning atwork, home or during leisureactivities.

• Ask for help when lifting heavyobjects.

• Maintain a regular physical fit-ness regimen. Staying activecan help to prevent injuries.

by william KentLong Island Hearing and the

Better Hearing Institute are rais-ing awareness of the link be-tween unaddressed hearing lossand depression. Adults of allages are urged to get their hear-ing tested to help protect theirmental health. Studies haveshown how people with hearingloss, who use hearing aids, often,have fewer depressive symptoms,greater social engagement, andimproved quality of life. Hearing loss affects people of

all ages, and so do the associ-ated emotional and mentalhealth issues that can come withleaving hearing loss unad-dressed. In fact, a 2014 study in-dicated that hearing loss isassociated with an increased riskof depression in adults of allages, but is most pronounced in18 to 69 year olds.Another study, conducted in

Italy, looked at working adults,35 to 55 years of age with un-treated mild to moderate age-re-lated hearing loss and found thatthey were more prone to depres-sion, anxiety, and interpersonalsensitivity than those with nohearing problems.The good news is that for the

vast majority of people withhearing loss, hearing instrumentscan be most beneficial; researchshowed that the use of hearinginstruments can help reduce de-

pressive symptoms, and eight outof 10 hearing aid users saythey’re satisfied with the changesthat have occurred in their livesdue to their instruments beingused.

5 Mental Health-Minded rea-sons to get your Hearing testedThere’s a lot more to hearing

loss than just sound. Getting ahearing test and using profes-sionally-fitted hearing instru-ments, when recommended by ahearing healthcare professional,is an important way for peoplewith hearing loss to safeguardtheir mental health and qualityof life. Here's why:

• Ignoring hearing loss hurtsquality of life.

• Addressing hearing loss boostsmood.

• Using hearing instruments canhelp bolster self-confidence.

Today’s hearing instrumentsare better than ever and virtually

invisible. Dramatic new techno-logical advances have revolu-tionized hearing aids in recentyears. Many are virtually invisi-ble, sitting discreetly and com-fortably inside the ear canal;some are even waterproof orrechargeable, but best of all,they’re wireless. That meansthey’re able to stream soundfrom Smartphones, iPhones,iPods, iPads, home entertainmentsystems, and other electronicsdirectly into your hearing instru-ment(s) at volumes just right foryou. The new iNow iQ hearinginstruments can even be located,if lost or misplaced with GPS.Simply put, today’s hearing in-struments help people of all agesmaintain active, healthylifestyles, some of them with funtechnology included. Call your hearing healthcare

provider, schedule your hearingtest now, rather than ‘maybe’ inthe future. Most health insur-ances cover annual hearing tests.Truly the worst thing you can doabout hearing loss, is nothing.That should be considered, un-acceptable.editor’s note:william Kent is the Director of long Island hearing, an audiology and hear-ing Instrument Dispensing Practice established in 1985. they have offices innassau and suffolk County and can bereached at 1-800-698-5200 for more information.

On the listof concernsthat peoplewith multiplesclerosis (MS)face, choos-ing the rightoutfit may not

always rank near the top. Afterall, fashion may seem frivolouswhen you’re dealing with symp-toms like fatigue and impairedbalance. For many people withMS, what to wear simply isn’t atopic of thought or discussion.But thoughtful clothing

choices can make your life easierwhen you have MS. For somepeople, this means focusingmostly on comfort and clothingthat doesn’t hinder your mobility.For others, it also means taking

your outward appearance intoaccount, since how you look canhave an impact on how youfeel – especially if you’re goingto work or attending events inyour community – but some-times even if you’re just doing errands.Here are some tips from peo-

ple with MS about choosingclothing that fits your lifestyle,body and personality.

1. You will stay cooler if youwear white clothing when outin the sun. White reflects thesun’s rays, whereas dark colorsabsorb them.

2.If light-colored clothing alonedoes not keep you coolenough, a variety of coolingvests, hats, neck bands, chaircushions, and products areavailable to help keep youcool. Some are filled with

polymer beads that absorbwater and cool you throughevaporation, others utilize icepacks and cooling tubes.

3. Clothing made of 100% cot-ton will shrink and need iron-ing to look fresh and crisp.Cotton blends with less than50% cotton, on the otherhand, need little or no ironing.Garments made of permanentpress fabric require no ironingor special treatment.

4. Knit fabrics are easier to geton and off than woven fabrics.In addition, knit fabrics aremore comfortable to sit in anddo not wrinkle as much aswoven fabrics. Double-knitsweatpants with an elasticizedwaistband are particularlyeasy to wear and maintain.Purchase wool sweaters or

continued4. jackets lined with a satiny fab-ric. If you have unlined slacks,purchase nylon pant liners towear underneath. Some fab-rics are actually heavy, mean-ing they have weight. Clothingmade of this type of fabricmay tire you out just putting iton.

5. If you sit a great deal, pur-chase garments one size largerthan you normally wear. Theclothing will be more comfort-able to sit in and easier to puton and remove. Clothing thatis too tight may make you feeltired.

6. If you’re in a wheelchair, youmay have trouble finding jeansthat fit comfortably. There arejeans available that are com-fortable and attractive. Thefront looks like traditional

jeans, while the back is elasticwith added fabric in the seatfor comfort. Leg pockets witheasy seated access are op-tional.

7. If getting dressed in the morn-ing sometimes feels over-whelming, try limiting yourwardrobe to see if havingfewer choices makes theprocess easier.

8. Long sleeves must be on theshorter side of normal, be-cause if you use a cane orwalker, it’s hard to grab itwhen your sleeves are gettingin the way. The tighter cuffs onbutton-down shirts usuallykeep shirtsleeves out of theway, but the looser sleeves onitems like fleece jackets andsuit jackets can be problem-atic.

To help determine whether agarment will fit without trying iton, do one of the following:

1. When you go shopping, takealong a garment that fits youwell. Match the side seamsand length by laying one itemon top of another.

2. Take your measurements athome and record them on apiece of paper that you takewith you to the store.

3. Ask the clerk to measure thegarment you have selected tosee if it will work with yourmeasurements.

4. Another alternative is to shopwhere maternity clothes aresold. The garments are gener-ously sized and fashionable.

pain. It is not easy to get creative with disciplinewhen you are exhausted and discouraged. Unfortu-nately, this is something that you need to try totackle during a time of peace rather than in theheat of the moment. The next time you and yourson find yourselves in a calm state, sit down to-gether and make a 4-column chart. Your first col-umn will be a list of “appropriate ways to expressanger” and your second column will be a list of thepositive outcomes that will result from that choice.Your third column will be a list of “inappropriateways to express anger” and your fourth columnwill be a list of the negative outcomes that will result from that choice. For example, column onemight say “writing mommy a letter telling her why I am angry” and column two might say “mommywill read your letter, sit down and discuss yourfeelings with you.” On the other hand, columnthree might say “scream at the top of my lungs”and column four might say “favorite video gametaken away.” Come up with these lists together andtake the time to explain to your son the importanceof choos-ing a be-haviorfrom col-umn oneversuscolumnthree.Whenyour sonis actingout, re-directhim backto thechart. It is moremeaning-ful to teach your child what they should do insteadof repeatedly pointing out what they shouldn’t do.

“I forgot!”One of the

most com-mon obsta-cles toachieving ahealth goal

(or any goal for that matter) is thelack of consistency! And one ofthe most commonly cited rea-sons for this lack of consistencyare these two simple words: IFORGOT!Have you ever said that about

taking your supplements or usingyour essential oils? Creating healthy experiences

or achieving a health goal isoften the combination of simpledaily actions consistently per-formed! Selecting a specific goaland setting up a simple dailyroutine to achieve it are the firstthings I do when I coach some-one. When people forget (to follow

that simple daily routine), thiscan sabotage their efforts,

increase frustration, and causeless than optimal results. Andwhen people don’t get the resultsthey want; when they don’t haveat least some quick wins, theygive up and return to old habits,bringing back more of those lessthan desirable health experi-ences they wanted to change inthe first place!That’s why it is important to es-

tablish simple techniques to bemore consistent, especially inthe first few weeks of a new rou-tine!Here are some terrific tips to

become more consistent in yourdaily routines:

1. associate the new activitywith something else that you dofaithfully! For example, you gen-erally don’t forget to brush yourteeth, right? So, make it a routineto inhale a drop of Peppermintessential oil before/after youbrush your teeth every morning.

2. Location, location, location.Leave that bottle of Peppermintessential oil on the bathroom

sink so it’s right there at your fin-gertips to help clear out themorning brain fog, open your air-ways, and start your day with anenergy boost*.Keep your bottle of Ylang

Ylang essential oil in the kitchennear where you prepare break-fast; this will be a visible re-minder to use it daily to promotehealthy circulation*. Keep your immune supporting

spray mist in the outside pocketof your handbag or in yourpocket so it is easy to grabquickly when you are running er-rands and need a little extra pro-tection!

3. Set reminders. People com-monly mention that they forgetto take the second dose of theirvitamin supplements in the latterpart of the day! Set a daily re-minder/ alarm on your phone toremind you to take them.Need a boost of your cognitive

ability and/or memory function?Some of my favorite essential oilsto boost these functions areBasil, Lemon, Rosemary, andMelissa essential oils.* You canapply them topically, add a fewdrops to your diffuser, and eventake them internally.

4. Make it Simple. I store cap-sules from all my supplements ina craft bead organizer in mykitchen island drawer. Thismakes it super easy to grab whatI need without opening individ-ual bottles. [Get the adjustableone so you can customize thesize of each compartment.] 5. Shift your mindset. No oneneeds a reminder about an eventor goal of significant importance.When we are really excitedabout something or when it hasgreat meaning for us, we doNOT forget! To be more consis-tent, reflect on WHY that dailyaction is important to you.Are you really committed to

by Dr. linda M. BocchichioInitial Intensive CareIf an ache, pain or other obvi-

ous symptom has prompted youto begin chiropractic care thefirst thing you want is to feel bet-ter. Office visits will be frequentand your adjustments may becombined with other proceduresto help offer relief. Dependingupon your age, condition andlifestyle, repeated visits overweeks or months may be neededto reduce or eliminate yoursymptoms.

Corrective CareMuscle and other soft tissue

damage often remain after youroriginal symptoms improve. Cor-rective care stabilizes your spineand promotes more completehealing. Visit frequency is re-duced and you may be encour-aged to supplement your care

with exercises or other self careprocedures.With our aches orpains gone – more completehealing can occur. Stopping carenow may risk a relapse. Likewith orthodontic care, what willhappen if the braces come off

too soon!

elective or Wellness CareWhen maximum improvement

is reached periodic chiropracticcheckups are recommended.These wellness visits can detectand help correct new problemsbefore they become serious.Health conscious adults choosethis type of care for themselvesand their children. Like other preventive measures

elective or wellness care cansave time and money by helpingyou stay well.Remember, it is easier to stay

well than get well.
