On November 7, 2015 theCalderone Theater Gallery ofFine Art celebrated its first Anniversary with an Artists’ Reception. The overwhelming attendance and festive atmos-phere transformed the receptioninto a Gala event. The exuberantresponse from the communityhelped celebrate the first yearanniversary of the Gallery.Jack Ader, Martha Applegate,

Arline Goldstein, RichardMerkel, donna Rollins and MaryAnn Vetter, the exhibiting artists,were thrilled to see that art doesbring a community together, andwith a fabulous response of do-nations to the Smithtown FoodPantry, it was a win-win for St.James.The Gallery, situated on the

second floor of the uniquely Natalie Building located on thecorner of First Avenue and

Second Street, was built in 1910.The building has had many lives,first as a Vaudeville Theater, thenin 1950 a movie theater, andagain in 1985 when Bernie andNatalie Weinstein redesigned itto function as a design studio onthe second floor. At one time onthe main floor there was a TeaRoom and an Antique Empo-rium. The creative instincts of Na-

talie Weinstein has reinventedthe Calderone Theater into ashopper’s paradise. It is now ahaven for furniture consignees,savvy shoppers looking for spe-cial pieces and accessories atbargain prices. The Art Gallery,on the second level, is a perfectcompliment to the furniture atuniquely Natalie.Arline Goldstein, director of

by Bradley Harris, Smithtown Historian

I have been writing about thelarge estates that once existedthroughout St. James. Lastmonth’s article was about theThornton Estate in Head-of-the-Harbor. This article takes afurther look at this incredibleproperty and what ultimatelyhappened to Louise Thornton’ssummer home in St. James.The information contained inthis article came almost exclu-sively from Geoffrey Fleming’saccount of “The Thornton Es-tate” which can be found inChapter 4 of Barbara VanLiew’s book Head-of-the-Har-bor: A Journey Through Time.

The huge Mansion that be-came known as the Thornton Es-tate in Head-of-the-Harbor wasbuilt for Louise Clementine

Thornton, the wealthy widow ofJohn C.C. Thornton, a lawyerfrom Butte, Montana, who wiselyinvested in gold, silver and cop-per mines in the west and made

a fortune from his investments.Known as the “Villa Memo,”(Memo was the nickname givento Louise Thornton by her grand-

CHIROPRACTIC HEALTHCARE OF 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.

“T’was the day before Christmas, but there was no cheer.

No jingle bells jingled, no sound of reindeer.

The word had got out that Santa was sick.

There’d be no friendly visit from jolly St. Nick.

The people were sad; no gaiety sounded,

For Christmas had come, but Santa was grounded.

He walked down the street, and what should he see?

The lights were still on at the local D.C.

Now Santa was not one to like a new tactic,

But all else had failed, so he’d try Chiropractic.

He entered the office, and saw with a glance

In a place such as this, illness hasn’t a chance.

The people were smiling, the music was snappy,

With all the patients contented and happy.

In a very short time, to judge by the clock,

He was in the adjustment room talking to Doc.

“Oh Doc, take a look at the size of this pack!

Have you any idea what it does to my back?”

Poor Santa was miserable; just barely able,

With the help of the Doctor, to get on the table.

The Doctor was gentle. Without fuss or tussle,

He examined the vertebrae and relaxed every muscle.

He spotted the trouble and then with a click,

He started aligning the ailing St. Nick.

And Santa felt aches and pains slipping away.

In no time at all he began to feel gay.

The air was a-tingle with new fallen snow,

And healthy Kris Kringle was rarin’ to go.

So may I, at this time, echo his cheer?

Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year.”

continued from page 28children), grandmother’s house –the hotel-sized mansion with 74rooms built in 1909 for LouiseThornton, took five years to com-plete. The three story neo-classi-cal style house with 30,000square feet of living space was atruly impressive building thatlooked more like a palace than asummer home. Located on 42acres of land north of Three Sis-ters Road, the house was ap-proached via Gate Road thatstretched from the intersection ofHitherbrook Road and Three Sis-ters Road back through “gardensand grassland” until the housewas seen perched on a slight risethat gave Mrs. Thornton somemagnificent views of the sur-rounding landscaped gardens.Sadly, Louise Thornton didn’t getto enjoy her summer house forvery long, since she sold the es-tate in Head-of-the-Harbor to herson William d. Thornton in1914. Two years later, LouiseThornton passed away at herhome at “150 East 59th Street inNew york City.” (Barbara F. VanLiew, Head-of-the-Harbor:

A Journey Through Time, MainRoad Books, Inc., Laurel N.y.,2005, p. 108.“William doniphan Thornton

(1870-1953) grew up in Mon-tana, studied engineering andmining at Columbia university,and then returned to Montana tomake his own fortune. duringhis life he owned and operatedthe Thornton Hotel (1902-1932)in Butte, and sat on numerousmining and utility companyboards. He also served as presi-dent of the Greene CaneanaCopper Company, a subsidiary ofthe Anaconda Copper MiningCompany. He owned the Thorn-ton mansion from 1914-1918,but had nothing to do with hav-ing it built.” (In fact, the designerand builder of the Thornton man-sion is not known, no architec-tural drawings of the housesurvive, and we know very littleabout the interior layout and de-sign of the 74 rooms.) “It hasbeen suggested that the architec-tural firm of Peabody, Wilson andBrown might have designed thehouse” since this firm designedseveral of the support buildings

that were added to the estate byWilliam Thornton. (Barbara VanLiew, Head-of-the-Harbor: AJourney Through Time, op. cit.,pp. 108-110.) during the four years he

owned the estate, William Thorn-ton had other buildings con-structed on the property. A guesthouse and superintendent’s cot-tage were built; greenhouses, agarage and a stable were added,along with a laundry and gar-dener’s cottage. Thornton alsopurchased additional property


The Thornton Estate

Adelaide (Thornton) Corbett, thelast owner of the Thornton man-sion. adelaide Corbett and hersister, Lucile Thornton, purchasedthe Thornton mansion from theirbrother William D. Thornton in1918 for one dollar. adelaide andLucile shared ownership of themansion until 1949, when Lucilepassed away, and adelaide be-came the sole owner until shesold it 1955. she was a widow forover 60 years.

continued from page 30buying up surrounding acreagethat is reflected in the town as-sessment records for 1918 andshow he owned “over 107 acresof land in St. James.” Then inex-plicably, in december of 1918,William Thornton sold the man-sion and “the majority of hisland holdings to his two sisters,Lucile T. Thornton and AdelaideThornton Corbett (1872-1963)for the sum of one dollar.” Thesetwo sisters now became theowners of the Thornton Estateand they added to the estateproperty. (Barbara Van Liew,Head-of-the-Harbor: A JourneyThrough Time, op. cit., pp. 112-113, p. 115.)One of the first pieces of prop-

erty added to the Thornton Estatewas a two acre parcel off ThreeSister’s Road that Lucille had pur-chased in 1915. This parcel hada building on it labeled in assess-ment records as a “Hall” or“Clubhouse.” Geoffrey Flemingbelieves that this may have beenWillie Collier’s Liberty Hall thatwas used as a clubhouse bymembers of the Actor’s Colony.Lucile’s interest in the staging ofmusicales might explain why shepurchased the property in 1915.She added this parcel to theproperty her brother had given toher in 1918. (Barbara Van Liew,Head-of-the-Harbor: A JourneyThrough Time, op. cit., p. 115.)

In July of 1921, Lucile and

Adelaide purchased the “Over-look” house from their older sis-ter Caroline Thornton Oxnard.Caroline lost her husband JamesG. Oxnard in April of 1919when he died “while travelling in

California.” In the spring of1921, Caroline married a retiredmining engineer named ArthurClaypoole Carson (1860-1939)who was living in California. Ap-parently having a summer homein St. James, New york, lost itsappeal and the Carsons sold theOverlook house to Lucile andAdelaide for $52,500. Theyadded this acreage to the Thorn-ton Estate property. The two sis-ters also “purchased landbelonging to Tony Farrell on Har-bor Hill Road” and “by the endof 1921, the sisters owned over156 acres” of property in Head-of-the-Harbor. (Barbara VanLiew, Head-of-the-Harbor: AJourney Through Time, op. cit., p.116.) “In 1923,” the two sisters

“constructed a dairy barn” ontheir property, and probablyadded “chicken runs and otherfarm related buildings.” It was ru-mored that “servants from St.James” would “gather eggs andmilk daily,” then ride “the earlytrain into New york City” to en-sure that the sisters had “freshmilk and eggs for breakfast eachmorning in the family penthouseat 420 Park Avenue.” Althoughthe truth of these rumors mightbe questioned, the “farm build-ings undoubtedly provided milkand produce for the estate in St.James.” The two Thornton sistersseemed to enjoy life in St. James

Lucile Theodosia Thornton (1874-1949). Lucile never married andshared ownership of the Thorntonmansion with her sister adelaideCorbett from 1918 to 1949. shewas an accomplished stager ofmusicales in New york and wasalso involved in the world ofopera. it is hard to believe thatshe had such a tiny waist.

continuedand apparently spent much oftheir time on their estate. They“were members of most localclubs, like the Smithtown Huntand the Smithtown Horse Show.They took their holdings in thecommunity very seriously. Ade-laide serving briefly as a trusteeof the newly incorporated Villageof Head-of-the-Harbor.” (BarbaraVan Liew, Head-of-the-Harbor: AJourney Through Time, op. cit., p.116-117.)

The stock market crash of1929 and the Great depressionwhich followed didn’t seem toimpact their fortunes and way oflife. “By 1932, they had acquiredover 181 acres” of land in Head-of-the-Harbor “having added atract owned by the Emmet familyto their estate.” The sisters ownedthe “most valuable property inSt. James at the time and possiblythe most valuable in the town-ship.” yet their annual tax bill onthe mansion, five other houses, agreenhouse, and the sixty-nineacres of land amounted to$4,200 and the sisters seemed tohave been able to pay that easily.“The estate itself remained fairlyunchanged over the next decade.Family and friends visited regu-larly during the season, whichusually ran from mid-Maythrough the end of September.Large numbers of New york andEuropean society made their wayto St. James to visit with theThorntons. At that time much ofthe estate was gardens and grass-land, not the woods we knowtoday. Just think about drivingdown Gate Road with dairycows grazing on both sides.”(Barbara Van Liew, Head-of-the-Harbor: A Journey Through Time,op. cit., p. 117.)“Beginning in the 1940s,” the

property Adelaide and Lucileowned “began to shrink. In 1944Mrs. Grace Olyphant purchasedthe Playhouse, and in 1945George W. Bacon purchasedsome land as well. Between

1946 and 1948 more smallparcels were sold off. By the timeof the 1948 assessment, onlythree major parcels remained inthe sisters’ hands: the Oxnardmansion on sixty-two acres; theThornton mansion on sixty-nine;and nineteen undeveloped acres.

The reduction was probablybegun for financial reasons aswell as personal ones. Taxeswere rising steadily and since thesisters had no surviving children,the estate was a great deal tohandle on their own. They were

continued from page 33becoming elderly and could notbe expected to travel to St. Jamesas often as they once had.” In1949, Lucile died, “leaving allher personal and real property toher sister, Adelaide T. Corbett.” Itwasn’t long before Adelaide Cor-bett decided to sell the last of herholdings in Head-of-the-Harbor.(Barbara Van Liew, Head-of-the-Harbor: A Journey Through Time,op. cit., p. 117.) “In 1955, Adelaide sold the re-

mainder of her holdings to theCenter Island Corporation, a realestate development firm.” TheCenter Island Corporation thenmoved to demolish the Thorntonand Oxnard mansions. But be-fore demolishing the Thorntonmansion, the Corporation “of-fered” the “Thornton mansionand several surrounding acres to

the Board of Education of thethen separate St. James Schooldistrict. The mansion wasopened for a visit by members ofthe Board of Education and localresidents for their inspection.After careful review and consid-eration, the Board unanimouslyconcluded that the house wouldbe far too expensive for the dis-trict to renovate and use forschool purposes. Accordingly,the Board of Education declinedthe offer of the owners.” And theThornton mansion was torndown, but not easily. “The ma-sonry building was so substantialthat demolition took far longerthan originally estimated” and it“was rumored that the demoli-tion company went bankrupt asa result.” (Barbara Van Liew,Head-of-the-Harbor: A JourneyThrough Time, op. cit., p. 118-

119.)Although the Thornton man-

sion was demolished in 1955 “tomake way for the Harbour Closesubdivision, there are “severalparts of the Thornton estate” that“still exist today.” The “drainagesystems along many of thedrives, portions of the 1917chain link fence that marked theperimeter of the grounds, andthe many rhododendron plant-ings located throughout thearea,” are all reminders of theThornton estate that once existedin Head-of the-Harbor. “Severalout-buildings, including thegarage, have been refitted as pri-vate homes.” And “the two setsof gateposts” that mark the en-trances to Farm Road and GateRoad are still standing today. Butthere is little else to remind us of

Agora Gallery, locatedat 530 West 25th Street,Chelsea, NyC, will fea-ture the original work ofSt. James artist James Fal-ciano, along with 15other talented artists inThe Manifestation of Mi-lieu. The exhibition willrun until december 22,2015. drawing on the energy

of New york City, JamesFalciano fills his oil-painted scenes with ex-pertly-rendered light.Much of his time is spent explor-ing the city on foot, which hashad a tremendous influence onhis work. These walks mirror hischildhood searches for the over-looked: for those lone flowersliving among a world of weeds.Today, Falciano searches for de-tails hidden in plain sight, bring-

ing them to the forefront of hiswork and cascading them withlight and color. Each painting isan attempt to locate the “mysteri-ous luminescence that transformsthe mundane into the magical.”Falciano, who grew up in St.

James and currently lives in Newyork City, treasures such mo-

ments of solitude andreflection: to be walk-ing down a desertedstreet, lost in thoughtor captivated by thebuildings and parkshe passes, is blissfulto him. These mo-ments, imbued with aspecial form of en-ergy, are those thatdrive Falciano topaint. “There’s an inti-macy experiencedthrough quiet streetsflooded with light,”

he says. “These quiet momentsI’ve spent around the city aremeaningful, and I feel compelledto share them with others.”Agora Gallery Hours: Tuesday

by Nancy TenureThe great Sean Landeta, two

time Super Bowl champion andone of the NFL’s premier puntersof all time, recently stopped bythe Cleary School for the deaf tomeet with the children. He cameto share his experiences, knowl-edge, encouragement and advicewith every student and perhapsinspire them to reach for theirdreams.Sean himself grew up in Balti-

more and did not have a lot;football at Towson universitygave him self-confidence alongwith an opportunity to work hardfor his dreams. Setting prioritiesand working hard afforded Seanthe chance to sign on with theBaltimore Stars in the old uSFLand later the New york Giants inthe NFL for nine seasons includ-ing being part of the Team of thedecade for the 1980s and1990s. As a successful profes-sional athlete, Sean played forover 22 seasons with top notchteams in Philadelphia, New york,Tampa Bay, Los Angeles, GreenBay and St. Louis. He played in

evision commentary but hisgreatest undertaking is all thecharitable work he is engaged in

such as meeting with children toencourage and to motivate them.This important charitable workincludes many fine foundations,such as the Cleary Foundation,that focuses on youth. Sean willbe the 2016 honoree at the nextCleary Golf Classic on June 6,2016.Cleary School’s Executive di-

to have good role models athome, in school and in sports.Sean himself is a great rolemodel. His charitable work isimportant and he does it for op-portunities to encourage and toinfluence children for a morepositive future for everyone.That’s something you might ex-pect from someone who is in thePennsylvania and MarylandSports Hall of Fame, the 2013Pro Football Hall of Fame classand still holds NFL records forpunting.“Sean gave an encouraging

H O M E & G A R D E N

by NatalieWeinstein, Allied ASID

Each time Ihelp a clientrelocate,whether it’supsizing ordownsizing,it represents

another chapter ending. This pastThanksgiving, a chapter endedfor me with the sale of my fam-ily’s home in Florida. Spendingthe holidays there with my chil-dren and grandchildren was trulybittersweet. The house was barewith boxes galore and the mem-ories of past celebrations and de-parted loved ones surrounded usas we gathered for the last timein a place which meant so muchto all of us – each in a differentway. As young marrieds, Bernieand I enjoyed the best times (andthe best food) with our wonder-ful family. Little did we knowthen that Bernie would spend hisfinal years there treated by anamazing doctor. Our sons spenttheir childhood and adulthoodreturning to this happy placefrom wherever life took them,and later the grandchildren grewup knowing and visiting greatgrandparents there. So manymemories – happy and sad.I am the last of my generation

and like it or not, the caretaker

of the past – and as most matri-archs, want to give my kids andtheirs “things” – as well as mem-ories. They, like most “kids” oftheir generation, want nothing.Sound familiar? I know how fa-miliar, because uniquely Na-talie, our consignment shop isfilled with beautiful and treas-ured possessions from parentsand grandparents that familiesdon’t need or want.Now it’s my turn to decide.

While I understand that what hasmeaning and value to me, maynot have for them, now, I chooseto be a hold-out and hope thatsomeday they may change theirminds. So – with the things goingback to New york (obviouslynone to California or Singapore),there will not only be boxes ofimportant family papers andphotos, but my mom’s antiquetable clock, Aunt Sylvia’s grand-father clock and the first tableBernie made in his factory. I willfind a special place for these inmy home and hope that whenmy time comes and they have tomake the same decisions, theywill understand. To my dear readers, please do

not think this is a license to keepall of everyone’s stuff, but rathermy “throw out, give away andtreasure the few” philosophy.Other reminders are more impor-tant than any one item. They arethe memories in our photos, our

stories and in our hearts. So forall of the holiday season, makeyour home a happy one for fam-ily and loved ones, and makeyour memories the lasting kindfor your future generations toshare.

N A T U R A L L Y S P E A K I N G

by June A. LiardiMake 2016 a year of explor-

ing, understanding, sharing andappreciating all of the naturalworld around you, even if it isonly just outside your back door.It is cold and the ground isfrozen solid so it must be time tostart your garden! Well, to startplanning it anyway. The gardencatalogs are starting to roll innow and the garden centers willbe stocking supplies soon.As you look out at your barren

yard it is a good time to plan andsketch out a garden plan. Look-ing through the catalogs, thinkabout planting new varieties orvarieties you have never tried be-fore. If you have never planted avegetable garden maybe this yearis the time. It is very satisfying toput something on your dinnertable that you grew yourself froma tiny seed. It is not as difficult ortime consuming as you may be-lieve. you do not need a lot ofspace either, a small square outin a sunny spot or a group ofpots on a sunny deck can yieldquite a lot of food. Get the chil-dren involved, they really love toget their hands dirty and towatch that little seed turn intosomething to eat. For the real lit-tle ones, use larger seeds likebeans or peas. It is a great sci-ence lesson too. To really startfrom the beginning, start a com-post pile and show them justhow soil is made.

When you do order seeds, gettogether with a friend or neigh-bor. Each seed packet usuallycontains so many seeds. Toomany for most home gardens.Most seeds do last for a fewyears, but fresh ones are alwaysthe best.Think about mixing it up a bit

too. Plant some good lookingvegetable plants in the front gar-den. Colorful swiss chard, beau-tiful purple eggplant or brightgreen bell peppers are very at-tractive.If you just must plant some-

thing now you can plant a minia-ture ‘scenic’ garden. This is agreat project to do with the chil-dren. Choose a container that isshallow, for instance one that isused for bonsai. Choose smallplants that resemble either trees,shrubs and grasses. Arrange themto look like a miniature land-scape. use stones, gravel andsmall sticks to make paths andfences. use dollhouse items orsmall toys to decorate your gar-den, such as benches, table andchairs, tools or animals. The chil-dren will really enjoy this part.Another indoor project for the

children, that won’t cost youmore than some potting soil, isto grow houseplants from veg-etable and fruit seeds. Citrusseeds will sprout in no time andthey make beautiful plants. donot expect to pick fruit any timesoon though. Apple seeds will

sprout also. you can cut off thetop of a radish, carrot or turnip (it should have a bit of a stemthere) and plant it in moist soiland it will start to send upleaves. An avocado pit is fun togrow. Clean off the pit and stick3 to 4 tooth picks around themiddle of the pit. These will helpsuspend the bottom half (flatend) into a glass of water. Keepthe water level along the bottomhalf of the pit and in a few weeksthe bottom will start to splitsending out a root and the topwill also start to split and a greenstem will emerge. Once a fewleaves appear, you can removethe picks and carefully pot it upin soil leaving the very top of thepit above the soil. If the stemgrows too tall, you can cut itdown a little. This will help it tofill out. It can be a plant to enjoyfor many years to come.

Happy Holidays to All! Enjoyyour gardening down time andenjoy this coming year.

R E A L T Y W I S E

by Alexandra Rich

With all thehoopla of theholiday seasonswirling in

your mind, taking a few mo-ments to plan ahead for the Newyear can bring a sense of peaceand control. Instead of sinkinginto the post-Christmas blues youcan have an action plan whichgives you a sense of forward mo-mentum and achievement. Afterall there will be snow days whenthe kids are home with “nothingto do” and simply cold anddreary days when you lack theenergy to go somewhere, yet sit-ting around again with no cleargoal before you has little allure.The simplest solution is to

draw up a multistep plan of proj-ects which bring order and satis-faction, to disarray anddiscontent. These should be proj-ects which are doable withoutripping the house apart or spend-ing weeks on end on the sameseemingly insurmountable task.

1. Garage Cleanup. Before the wind chill hits zero

and the snows blow, take a lookat the garage and see first whatcan be sent to the land fill to freeup space. Then reorganize thetools. Rakes and bags and blow-ers can be set in the back sincetheir usefulness has expired.Shovels, ice melt and snowthrowers should be moved to thefront and easily accessible. Gar-den ornaments, BBQs, deckchairs and cushions also go theback until spring. If you need touse some air space to makeroom, get some heavy dutyhooks for hanging light weightitems like cushions, pool acces-sories or garden hoses.

2. Basement Overhaul. do you need more shelving

for books and games and Cds?does your unfinished work areaneed peg boards for hangingtools you can never find whenyou need them because they areall piled into buckets? Wouldbuilding or purchasing a worktable make do-it-yourself proj-ects more doable and enjoyable?Is the carpet in your finishedspace in need of an overhaul tomake the space more invitingand provide a better draw for thechildren when you want them toretreat and get out of your hair?do you need a closet space forall those seasonal decorations, tokeep them out of sight and out ofthe dust when they are not inuse?

3. Closet reorganization. When you bought your home

there seemed to be enough clos-ets for a family of 10. Now theyare bursting at the seams. Is itjust too much stuff you neverwear or use, or is it simply an or-ganizational/access problem?Closet organizers are availableeverywhere and at every pricepoint. Take some measurements,prioritize your greatest needs,then go online and do some re-search. And only tackle onecloset at a time. A messy linencloset demands one solution, alarge walk-in closet in the masterbedroom requires more detailedplanning.

4. Bathroom Facelift. Bathrooms are used by every-

one in the family, unlike astudy/office or laundry room.Functionality is crucial, wearand tear is constant. Check onwear and tear first. does thegrouting in the shower needwork? Are the faucets dripping?Is the exhaust fan up to the mois-ture content from three teenagersshowering “all the time?” Are thefixtures dated? Could you use adouble basin vanity (if there isroom) or a glass door shower

rather than a shower curtain? Isthe color you painted the walls10 years ago something youwould never choose today? Andthe guest bathroom is just that.you want it to be inviting andimmaculate.

5. Flooring upgrade. you are not going to want to

refinish wood floors in the winterwhen you cannot get away fromthe fumes and the dust. If you re-ally want to expose those lovelywood floors and use scatter rugs,then wait until summer. But if anew carpet would unite the liv-ing room and dining room, andhelp traffic flow when you areentertaining, or brighten a nor-mally dark north facing room,and make it more welcoming,start pricing carpeting and askfriends and neighbors for recom-mendations of companies to use.

If you are staying put in yourcurrent home, winter projects in-crease your enjoyment of yoursurroundings and help thisdreary time of year pass in a pro-ductive and positive way. If youare thinking of selling yourhouse, addressing your concernsand needs now will make themost of your home’s assets andcircumvent objections fromprospective buyers in the future.And you will have the satisfac-tion of knowing that the wintermonths are not just a time forhunkering down, they are also atime of innovation and problemsolving. Not a bad way toachieve those New year’s resolu-tions!

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

by Scott Posner, CFP, CRPC, A.A.M.S.Who knows where the time

goes? Although 2015 is almost inthe books, you can still makesome year-end investment and fi-nancial moves that may help youget off to a good start in 2016.Here are a few suggestions:

• Boost your 401(k) contributions. Ask your employer if you still

have time to add more to your401(k) before the year ends. Ifnot, at least increase your contri-butions in 2016, especially ifyour salary goes up.

• Consider “tax-loss” selling. We experienced considerable

turbulence in the financial mar-kets this past year, so you mayown some investments that havelost value. Generally speaking,it’s a good idea to hold these in-vestments if they still meet yourneeds, but if you do decide tosell them, you can use the loss tooffset capital gains taxes on in-vestments you’ve sold that haveappreciated. If the loss from thesale was greater than your com-bined long- and short-term capi-tal gains, you can deduct up to$3,000 against other income.And if your losses exceed yourcapital gains by more than$3,000, you can carry the re-maining losses forward to futuretax years.

• review your asset allocation.Make sure your asset alloca-

tion – that is, your investmentmix – is still appropriate for yourtime horizon and goals. youmight consider being a bit moreaggressive if you’re not meetingyour financial targets, or moreconservative if you’re gettingcloser to retirement. If you wantgreater diversification, you mightthink about adding an asset classthat tends to react to market con-ditions differently from your ex-isting investments. diversifyingyour portfolio may help reducethe impact of volatility; however,diversification, by itself, can’tguarantee a profit or protectagainst loss. If you do need toadjust, or “rebalance,” you cando so fairly easily in tax-deferredaccounts, such as your IRA or401(k) – but for those invest-ments held in a taxable account,you should talk to your tax advi-sor on how to manage the taxconsequences of rebalancing.

• Evaluate your insurance situation. This past year, did you un-

dergo any changes in your per-sonal life, such as marriage,

divorce or the addition of a newchild? If so, review your life anddisability insurance to make surethey are sufficient for your needs,and list the proper beneficiarieson all insurance policies.

• start an emergency fund. If you don’t already have one,

start an emergency fund beforethe year is out. Ideally, you’d liketo have between six and 12months’ worth of living expensesin such a fund; without it, youmight be forced to dip into yourlong-term investments to pay forunexpected costs, such as a newfurnace, a major car repair or abig medical bill. For this fund,you’re less interested in returnthan in preservation of principal,so put your money in a low-risk,liquid account.

Making these moves can helpyou close out 2015 on a positivenote – and ring in the new yearwith greater confidence in yourfinancial future.

A H O L I D A Y S T O R Y

by June Capossela KempfI don’t know if she lives in

St. James or was just passingthrough. All that matters is shewas here shining a ray of sun-shine at a time when we all needto find something to smile about.I encountered her at the check-out counter of King Kullen, en-gaged in an incredible act ofkindness that cannot be ignoredand must be shared with all thetownsfolk.Being relatively new to the

community, we are adjusting tothe change and overjoyed to beclose to our grandchildren andfamily. But sometimes with allthe excitement we become a bitdisoriented. Just before Thanks-giving, we were having a partic-ularly hectic day. I had spent the whole morning

shopping for ingredients to pre-pare some Thanksgiving disheswhen I realized I forgot to geteggs. No problem. I would pickthem up right after my husband,Ron and I attended our grand-son’s kindergarten Pow Wow atthe Mills Pond School. I couldput off the baking for the timebeing. As soon as the play was over,

we dashed to the store to pick upthe eggs. As usual, we boughtmore than we planned. Onlyafter the cashier checked us out,did it dawn on me that we goteverything but the eggs.I looked back and saw several

people waiting on the line. Notwanting to hold anyone up, I told the cashier to ring up theorder and we’d go back andmake a separate purchase, butthe lady standing behind mesmiled and said she was in nohurry. Since the rest of the linedisappeared to another check-out, Ron sprinted all the way tothe back of the store, yelling foreveryone to hear, “do you wanta whole dozen or a half?”

Oh, this is getting too much at-tention, I thought.While he was gone, which

seemed like an eternity, I turnedapologetically to the smiling ladystill waiting behind me andthanked her for being so patient.She had a serene and peacefulexpression on her face that radiated a calming ‘all is well’message. I told her that if theroles were reversed, I would benot so nice. “It’s okay,’ she said;so I dug into my wallet to retrieve my debit card. It wasn’tthere. Don’t panic, I thought.Ron has his. As he approached the counter

with the eggs in hand, I asked forhis card and cringed as he announced he didn’t have his either. Bet it’s not okay –now.OMG! I could just die.Afraid to look back, sure that

by now the woman was regret-ting her kindness and that sweetsmile had been replaced byrolling eyes or at least reduced toa glaring stare aimed squarely atthe back of my head. Surely bynow, she must be convinced thatshe had come across the ‘ding-bat of St. James.’ I couldn’t evenlook at her as I continued torummage through my pocket-book, wallet and pockets, mum-bling to the cashier, “Can I putsome items back... I haveenough cash for the eggs.”“I already rang you up,“ the

clerk said.Startled, I couldn’t think of

anything else or anything worsethat could happen. A hot flash ofembarrassment washed over mewhile Ron grumbled in the back-ground.“I gave yOu my card yester-

day.”Just at that moment I heard the

woman’s voice ring out.”Howmuch is her order?” I lookedback as she was reaching tohand me cash.” Let me pay forit…” she said.Now I seriously contemplated

leaving all my stuff behind andbolting out the door. I took onemore stab in my wallet andfound an old credit card that

I never use. Why didn’t we justgo to Dairy Barn,’ I moaned.“Let me try this”, I desperately

whispered. It worked and I hastily and happily declinedher offer. Then I took off, husband at my heels both of usfeeling the stare of the noggin’shaking customers without see-ing them. We exited King Kullenlike it was on fire – without stop-ping, without looking back, vowing never to step foot in thatstore again.Ron and I didn’t speak a word

to each other until we got home.“Go find my debit card,” Ronpleaded. So I went right to hisdresser. It wasn’t there. Isearched through His jeans andcame out with nothing. Then I went out to His jeep – same results. Next, I decided to lookfor my card. I looked through myother pocketbook, my pocketsand the desk drawer. No card(s).“I guess I have to report them

missing,” I announced. “Again?” he said. “Look

through your pocketbook care-fully.”“Are you kidding, I went

through every inch of it in thestore.” “Search calmly this time.“

I grabbed the bag, opened it, unzipped the side pockets; thenturned the bag upside down andshook it. Out popped Ron’s cardalong with two wallets of mine. I keep my driver’s license andother Id separate. I never putcredit cards in that one. Well almost never. Need I say more?

I come from a large family andholidays are a HUGE deal. Aunts,uncles and cousins from otherstates come to visit and it is a bigevent! My husband and I justmoved into our first house andmy mom and dad sort of “volun-teered” us to host Christmas Daydinner. No one in the familyknows that my husband recentlylost some work that was vital toour financial security and now Ireally cannot afford decorations,food and liquor for this event. Iam too embarrassed to tell any-one what is going on but I knowthat I do not have the money tocover the costs. What do youthink?

–Financially Strapped

dear Financially Strapped,you can approach this from

several avenues. you could con-fide in one to two very closefamily members and expressyour concerns and see if theyoffer to help in any way. Oddsare, you’re concerns are proba-bly not that different from otherfamily members who take on thetask of hosting a major holiday attheir home. Or you could simplychange things up and host apotluck holiday dinner. Create aFacebook group or a group emailor text message and delegatesome of the side dishes and alco-hol costs.

by Dr. Linda M. BocchichioToday patients can go on the

Internet to read about their con-ditions so they can ask intelligentquestions of their health careproviders. doctors of all kindsare surprised at the depth of theirpatients’ knowledge and under-standing.Patients are discovering that

they should always be offeredthe choice of conservative carefor conditions that respond wellto manual manipulation. If thatoption is not given, patientsshould ask why. A second opin-ion may be in order. Learn allyou can about any condition youmay have. Be willing to keepasking questions until you aresatisfied with the answers you re-ceive. you and your body will betogether for the rest of your life.That’s reason enough to seek outconservative care first.

The safety of the proceduresthat patients allow their healthcare providers to carry out ontheir bodies is of primary impor-tance. Because chiropractic careis non-invasive, it’s a good placeto start. Chiropractic care, as one

of the major nonpharmacologi-cal therapies is considered effec-tive for acute and chroniclow-back pain.A 2012 study found that spinal

manipulation for neck and backpain was cost-effective used ei-ther alone or combined withother therapies.1 Another recentstudy based on Washington stateworkers found that only 1.5% ofthose who visited a doctor ofchiropractic first for work relatedback pain later had surgery,compared to 42.7% of thosewho saw a surgeon first.2

Conservative care offers waysto reduce pain and musclespasms. And it can frequentlyease the sleep issues and depres-sion that are common with backpain. Surgery and drugs remainas options if chiropractic treat-ments do not relieve back pain

by William A. Kent, BC-HISAddressing hearing

loss isn’t just about whatyou hear – it’s abouthow you feel and func-tion, which is encourag-ing people of all ages toget their hearing testedthis holiday season.Studies show that whenpeople address hearingloss, it can have a posi-tive effect on their homelife, self-confidence, re-lationships, mood, overallhealth, job performance, andeven income. It safeguards qual-ity of life by helping peoplemaintain an active, healthylifestyle and stay socially andcognitively engaged. Learning the status of our hear-

ing health and addressing hear-ing loss are important to qualityof life at every age. Gen Xers andyouthful-minded baby boomers,in fact, are developing hearingloss in greater numbers, and asolder Americans are putting offretirement and staying in theworkforce longer, the ability tohear your best is becoming allthe more important. Luckily, the vast majority of

people with hearing loss canbenefit from hearing instruments,and today’s state-of-the art instru-ments are better than ever. Thelatest technologies make it easierto hear people and sounds fromall directions and are designed tofilter out noise, like at crowdedrestaurants. Various styles sit dis-creetly and comfortably insidethe ear canal and out of sight,making them virtually invisible,some are even waterproof orrechargeable. Perhaps best of all,they’re wireless, helping peopleof all ages stay connected totheir smart phones, home enter-tainment systems, and otherprized electronics – but most im-portantly, to life.

So go ahead, ring in this holi-day season with a hearing test.Whether it’s conversation andlaughter around the dinner tableyou enjoy most, or watching amovie or football game togetheron the television, let the latesthearing instrument technologieshelp you hear your best and stayconnected with family andfriends in the New year.Addressing hearing loss really

can add to quality of life duringthe holidays and year round.Here’s what getting a hearing testand using a professionally-fittedhearing instrument, if recom-mended by a hearing care pro-fessional, may do for you:

1. Strengthen ties with familyand friends. Healthy relation-ships rest largely on goodcommunication.

2. Raise your spirits. People withuntreated hearing loss oftenfeel angry, frustrated, anxious,isolated and depressed. But re-search shows that when theyuse hearing instruments, manybecome more socially en-gaged, feel a greater sense ofsafety and independence, andsee a general improvement intheir overall quality of life.

3. Lead you to feel better aboutyourself. An important perk ofusing hearing instruments can

be enhanced emotionalwell-being. Researchshows that when peoplewith hearing loss usehearing instruments,many feel more in con-trol of their lives and lessself-critical.

4. Keep the mind sharp.Studies out of JohnsHopkins linked hear-ing loss with acceler-ated cognitive declinein older adults and

4. found that seniors with hear-ing loss are significantly morelikely to develop dementiaover time. Better Hearing Insti-tute studies found that manypeople with hearing loss re-port improvements in theircognitive skills with the use ofhearing instruments.

5. unleash you earning poten-tial. Hearing your best at workhelps you do your best. Onestudy found that using hearingaids reduced the risk of in-come loss by 90% -100% forthose with milder hearing loss,and from 65%-77% for thosewith severe to moderate hear-ing loss. And people withhearing loss who use hearinginstruments are more likely tobe employed than their peerswho don’t.

We have so much on our mindespecially during such a hecticseason, however give some timeto yourself, get a hearing evalua-tion. Remember, the worst thingyou can do is… nothing.

by Terri Pace and Mary McManamanThe Oxford Dictionary defines

the word VITAL as “absolutelynecessary or important; essential;full of energy; lively.”does this describe how you

feel every day? does it describehow you would like to feel everyday?We believe everyone wants to

feel this way! Imagine having theenergy of your childhood…Imagine what you could accom-plish with that kind of energy!

What’s the secret to restoring vitality?Our health is dynamic. We

move towards it… or away fromit… one cell at a time!As the basic structure of all

living things, cells perform threeprimary functions: They makecopies of themselves, they

perform a specialized function,and they self-destruct when theyare not performing their first twofunctions correctly.Inside the human body, cells

make up tissues; tissues make uporgans; and organs make up thesystems of the body. How wellthese systems function dependson the health of the cell itself.Our outward experience of vi-

tality (how we feel every day) ismerely an expression of our in-ternal experience on a cellularlevel. If your outward experienceis one that lacks energy and vi-tality, it is likely that your cellsare lacking in something that is“absolutely necessary or impor-tant” to provide that energy.What does your body need to

have cellular vitality? Here aresome simple ways to be kind toyour cells!

Nourish your cells with the rightamount of VITAL nutrients!We are a cell factory. We cre-

ate cells using the nutrients pro-vided (i.e., oxygen, vitamins,minerals, enzymes, water, etc.).Nutrients must be delivered to

the cell factory daily to make thecells needed to sustain life. Spe-cific nutrients must be deliveredto support the ability for cells tospecialize and perform differentfunctions in the body. Cellularfunction can be compromised bypoor nutrition or lack of propersupplementation.“A vitamin is an essential nu-

trient the body cannot produceenough of on its own, so it has toget it (tiny amounts) from food.”(Medical News Today, November3, 2015) “There are 13 vitaminswhich are essential for a range ofmetabolic processes, from diges-tion to proper nerve function.”(ABCs of vitamins, HealthiNation2015) These “vital minerals” are ei-

ther fat-soluble, which can bestored in the body; or water-solu-ble, which do not get stored inthe body for long. This is onereason why you need a constantsupply of vitamin C and all the Bvitamins in your diet.Mae West is quoted as saying:

“If a little is great, and a lot isbetter, then way too much is justabout right!” Be more likeGoldilocks! Supplement yourdiet with just the right amount,in a form the body can use, andwhich is properly balanced. Tak-ing too much (mega-dosing) canbe harmful; taking too little cancreate a deficiency.And remember, loss of cellular

function follows the deficiency!For example, vitamin d helps thebody absorb calcium and pro-motes bone growth; too little vi-tamin d results in soft bones (inchildren) and fragile, misshapenbones (in adults).

Protect your cells from the twoevil twins of aging: Inflamma-tion and Oxidative Stress!“Inflammation is the body’s at-

tempt to heal and fight invasion.But when there is too muchdamage or relentless toxic expo-sure, inflammation goes out of

continuedcontrol.” (Inflammation and Oxidation - disease doubleWhammy, dr. Bruce Eichel-berger, May 11, 2011 ArticleSource:http://EzineArticles.com/6259987) This protective process maystimulate nerves and cause pain.Red meat, refined carbohydratesand foods high in polyunsatu-rated vegetable oils have a pro-inflammatory effect on the body.Stress can also contribute tochronic uncontrolled inflamma-tion.Oxidation helps create energy

in the body. Like the browning ofan apple after it is sliced open,oxidation is a normal chemicalreaction that occurs within thecells. dr. Eichelberger continues:“At the same time, if it gets out ofbalance, oxidation causes dam-age. This happens when free rad-

icals form. As they circulate, theycreate oxidative stress. In thisnegative state, many toxic effectshappen.”“Antioxidants are molecules

present in cells that prevent thesereactions by donating an elec-tron to the free radicals withoutbecoming destabilized them-selves. An imbalance betweenoxidants and antioxidants is theunderlying basis of oxidativestress.” (dr. Ananya Mandal, Md,News Medical Life Sciences &Medicine) Oxidation and inflam-mation go hand in hand; bothcreate free radicals which dam-age your cells.

The secret of your success isfound in your daily routine.Infuse your body with anti-in-

flammatory, antioxidant influ-ences through a fresh,unprocessed, natural diet and

healthy lifestyle choices! Com-bine these daily diet and lifestylechoices with essential oils tosupport the proper function ofthe body:• Clove, Ginger and Oregano es-sential oils deliver antioxidantprotection.*

• Take one or two drops ofFrankincense in a veggie cap-sule to support health cellularfunction.*

• A combination of Frankin-cense, Wild Orange, Lemon-grass, Thyme, Summer savory,Clove and Niaouli every dayhelps to support cellular in-tegrity.*

• Take one to two drops of BlackPepper essential oil for antioxi-dant support.*

• Add Lime essential oil to yourdrinking water for enhancedflavor and antioxidant support.

I woke up at 3 a.m. thenext morning – thinkingabout our encounter.OMG I didn’t even thankher… I don’t even knowwho she is. I got up andcranked up the computer,put it on Facebook wheresomeone dubbed her ‘The Mystery Woman ofSt. James. But as I satthere, I felt I didn’t doenough. I had to publi-cally thank her and sharethe news with the entirecommunity that she washere in St. James and thatshe is not just a mysterywoman, she is so muchmore.

Her gesture was not justan impulsive ‘for the mo-ment’ incident. It went somuch further: This wasn’tsuch a bad day after all.We were coming from mygrandson’s kindergartenplay. Who wouldn’t bewound up about that –when you consider howmany grandparents missmoments like this.

The voyage was long andrough, but allowed Harry tovisit and explore all aspects ofthis beautiful ship. His family settled in Brook-

lyn. Harry’s father owned afoundry in Norway, wherebyteaching his son to use his

mind and his hands to create and accomplish greatthings. Harry’s mother, whom he dearly loved, was anaccomplished cook and even attended cookingschool in Norway. She passed down her love of cook-ing to her son, as he always prepared traditional Nor-wegian delicacies during the Christmas season. His love for the water and exploration eventually

led him to serve his country during WWII in the Navy.Machinist’s Mate First Class serving aboard ship uSSSolomons, Kjell H. Gabrielsen received these medalsfor serving his country: Navy Good Conduct Medal,American Campaign Medal with Bronze Star, Euro-pean African Middle Eastern Campaign Medals withBronze Star, World War II Victory Medal.
