by Bradley Harris, Smithtown Historian

I have been writing of thelarge estates that once existedin the St. James area and ofthe people who owned them.This article is a continuationof last month’s article aboutCharles Stewart Butler, thelawyer and gentleman farmerwho owned the 400-acreBranglebrink Farm offMoriches Road in St. James.Charles Butler was electedSmithtown Supervisor in1923 and served one term inoffice from 1924 to 1925. Thisarticle deals with the story ofhis life after the voters retiredhim from the office of Super-visor in 1925.

Charles Butler’s defeat in hisre-election campaign for Smith-town Supervisor in 1925 musthave soured him on politics. Asfar as I know, he did not run forelective office again. He returned

to his practice as an attorney inNew York City and commuteddaily from St. James to his officein Manhattan. He spent a lot oftime in the city at work and atplay, frequenting concerts,Broadway musicals, and plays.He was a member of a numberof clubs in New York City includ-ing the Harvard Club, the DownTown Association, the UniversityClub, and the Church Club. Hejoined the Colonial Lords of theManor and the Union Society ofthe Civil War. Professionally, Mr.Butler was a member of the BarAssociations of New York Cityand of New York State, and was amember of the Phi Delta Phichapter of the New York LawSchool. All of the activities con-ducted by these organizationskept Charles Butler active and in-volved in the social life of thecity. His position as Treasurerand Director of the Garden CityCorporation kept him actively in-volved in the development ofGarden City on Long Island, and

his 400 acre dairy farm in St.James ensured that he continuedto play an active part in hishometown community of St.James.In St. James, Charles Butler

lived at Branglebrink Farm in ahouse that his brother Lawrencehad designed for him. The farm-house occupied “the top of a hillrise” on the farm and com-manded “an extensive view ofLong Island Sound.” Here he su-pervised the operation of hisdairy farm where his herd of fiftymilch cows supplied milk to“three routes of about five hun-dred quarts each,” routes that de-livered milk to householdsthroughout St. James, Smithtown,Stony Brook, and Kings Park.Branglebrink Farm milk was insuch demand that “additionallocal milk had to be obtained forresale” and other nearby dairiesbenefitted as a result.

continued from page 20“Butler” files of the Long IslandRoom, Smithtown Library.)Charles Butler was a big man

with a big heart. Like his mother,Cornelia Stewart Butler, and hisolder brother Lawrence Butler,he had a philanthropic streak inhis heart. It was Charles Butlerwho was “a chief organizer ofthe St. James Fire Department in1922.” He was the one who per-suaded his brother to design thefirehouse; then in 1925, he do-nated land where the firehousewas erected, and finally it washis money that paid for the mate-rials to build the firehouse. Be-cause of his generosity, the menof the St. James Fire Departmentmade Charles Butler an honorarychief and he held that distinctionuntil the end of his life. Membersof the St. James EpiscopalChurch were also beneficiaries

of Mr. Butler’s philanthropy. In1929, he “made a gift of theparish hall” that was built to theeast of the Episcopal Church.(“Charles Butler Rites Are Set;Widely Known,” Smithtown Star,October 27, 1954, pg. 1.)Pete Micciche remembers how

Charles Butler helped his grand-father, Joseph Micciche, duringthe Depression. Pete’s grandfa-ther could not find work duringthe depression and to try andfind work, he would report toTown Hall to see if he could se-cure one of the town jobs thatthe town occasionally madeavailable. He always made surethat he would report early in themorning and get his name firston the sign-up sheet before any-one else. But when men were as-signed jobs, his name wasalways ignored. In the 1930’s,there was a lot of prejudice di-

rected at Italians and his grandfa-ther would go home every day,frustrated and bitterly disap-pointed. When Charles Butlerheard about his plight, he offeredPete’s grandfather a job as gar-dener at Branglebrink Farm, andhe went to work maintaining thegrounds and gardens for $25 amonth. He worked for CharlesButler for almost thirty yearsmaintaining a beautiful flowerand vegetable garden that wasjust behind the farmhouse. Mr. Butler was a friendly, gre-

garious man who mixed easilywith people. He was generous tohis employees and their familiesat Christmas time. Peggy Micci-che and Cissy Micciche Mortu-rano recalled that Mr. Butler wasa tall, big man, who always hadan annual Christmas party in hishome, and since their grand-

Peggy and Cissy re-called that the party was held ina “big dark room” (the parlor)where everyone gathered, andthen Mr. Butler would personallyhand out the Christmas presentshe had purchased for the chil-dren.Mr. Butler was also a proud

man, proud of the fact that hewas a descendant of the bullrider, Richard Smythe. In fact, in1936, during Smithtown’s annualHorse Show, he demonstratedhis prowess at bull riding by actually riding one of the bullsfrom his farm. Two employeesfrom his farm had the bull care-fully in check, one with a halteraround the bull’s neck and theother with a pole attached to thering in the bull’s nose. Charles

Butler was also a very flamboy-ant dresser and an actor and

continuedplay better than that of RichardSmythe. For a costume ball, hehad a special red velvet suit witha matching pilgrim’s hat createdso he could play and look thepart of his famous ancestor. Hiscostume is now a part of theSmithtown Historical Society’sgarment collection.Charles Butler was also a very

funny man. Perhaps the funniestline he ever delivered was at atown board meeting that is saidto have happened in the early1950’s when Paul Given was Su-pervisor of Smithtown. It seemsthat it wasn’t too long after thestatue of the bull was unveiledthat the young women in theSchool of Nursing at the KingsPark State Hospital decided tomake an annual pilgrimage tothe statue to paint the bull’s testi-cles red. The girls thought it wasa hilarious stunt, but the men ofthe town parks department whowere assigned to clean up thebull were a little put off by thetask. To make matters worse,other pranksters in town beganto do the same thing. The wholematter of what to do about cur-tailing the decorating of thebull’s privates was discussed at atown board work session and no-body could come up with a solu-tion until one board membersuggested in jest that the thing todo was to castrate the bull. Atthat point, Charles Butler, whojust happened to be in atten-dance that day, jumped up anddemanded to be recognized. Hetook a long and serious look ateach and every board memberand then said to the members ofthe board, “I object! I object! Youcan’t castrate the bull becausethere are no descendants ofRichard Smythe presently on theTown Board. And there shall beno castration without representa-tion!” That ended any further dis-cussion of castration.When Charles Butler passed

away October 26, 1954, six

months after his brotherLawrence, he was laid out at hisown request in the parlor of hishome at Branglebrink Farm. Theparlor was a long narrow roomthat had a ceiling that wasshaped like the interior of a cof-fin and Mr. Butler had the ceiling

and walls painted with a copperycolored paint. The overall effectwas that you felt as if you werein a large coffin whenever youentered the room. What pos-sessed the man to create thisroom, and to entertain and live

continued from page 25in the room long before his ac-tual death, is something that isonly known to Charles Butler.But it was in this room whereCharles Butler was actuallyplaced in his coffin, and peoplecame to pay their last respectsbefore his body was taken to theSt. James Episcopal Church forhis funeral service and intern-ment.Since Charles Butler never

married, everyone wonderedwhat would happen to his estate.When his heirs petitioned theSurrogate Court for probate, thevalue of Charles Butler’s estatewas estimated to be “over$50,000” in personal propertyand “over $100,000 in realty.”When the will was probated, itwas revealed that Mr. Butler hadmade a number of bequests. Hegave the St. James EpiscopalChurch $20,000; the trustees ofSt. Mark’s School in Southbor-ough, Mass., $2,000; the Episco-pal Cathedral of the Incarnationin Garden City, $3,000; and theNew York Association for theBlind in Manhattan, $5,000. He

bequeathed $5,000 to his cousinCornelia S. Osborne; $1,000 tohis cousin and godson James L.Osborne; $1,000 to his godsonTudor H. Owen; and $1,000 tohis goddaughter Mary C. Hiller.He left $5,000 to Walter H.Grimm of Rancho Sante Fe, Cali-fornia; $40,000 to his secretary,Reginald C. Massonneau; $5,000to Mrs. Elizabeth Shaw of Amar-illo, Texas; and to Mrs. Mar-guerite Swann Musgrave ofPittsfield, Mass. And to the chil-dren of her marriage to PeterMusgrave Jr., he bequeathed theproperty known as “Linwood” atStockbridge, Mass. There were anumber of other small bequestsincluding personal effects that hegave to friends and family mem-bers, a gift of $1,000 to his attor-ney James Stanislaw of LakeAvenue, St. James, and a $500gift to the St. James Fire Com-pany. The rest of his estate was“devised to Susan L. Hunting-ton,” his sister, and Jack Stanis-law, his “friend and attorney,”was appointed “executor.”(“Church at St. James to get$20,000 in Supervisor’s Will,”

unattributed newspaper clippingfound in the “Butler” file in theLong Island Room of the Smith-town Library.)Charles Butler left a remark-

able legacy to his sister, SusanButler Huntington, when she be-came the beneficiary of the 400acres of property that made upBranglebrink Farm. What she didwith that property and the im-print she left on the history of St.James is a story that will have towait until next month’s edition ofOur Town.

On July 23 at 6:30 p.m., Studio 455, on Lake Avenue inSt. James opens its Gallery withan exhibit featuring the works ofsix exceptional local artists, withan open invitation to all.Guests will view the work of

Martha Applegate, a Californiaartist, who recently relocated toLong Island. Her beautifullypainted fantasy works draw theviewer into her canvases andcompel you to wander aroundthem. Donna Rollins’ beach scenes

of Long Island are painted onwood panels capturing the sky,sand, ocean and the joys of LongIsland beaches. Among her otherworks are local and New Yorkstreet scenes in her contempo-rary yet figurative style.Richard Merkel’s love and cu-

riosity of animals is captured inhis exciting acrylic paintings.From the charming, furry felinewith its piercing green eyes tothe grand tigers, leopards, stal-lions and canines, to the exoticblack panther, his paintings aredynamic.St. James artist Maryann Vetter

paints her impressions of LongIsland scenes as well as from hermany travels. “Gazebo at OldWestbury Gardens,” a pastel, isamong her work on exhibit. Herpastel drawings of children, thatshe has been commissioned for,are so charming. Ms. Vetter con-tinues to be inspired by theworld around her and her im-pressions of that world are on exhibit.Arline Goldstein, a St. James

resident, is primarily an oilpainter. Recently she has addedwatercolor to her portfolio. Herstyle and color are reminiscentof Henri Matisse, (so say critics),and that precipitated the series,“Matisse Unleashed,” a collec-tion of work “after Matisse” inwatercolor. She has embellishedhis paintings with her own

“twist” and creates new work. In contrast to her colorful work,using one continuous line sheexhibits line drawings in blackand white. Jack Ader is a photoartist. His

eye is the camera. With the cre-ative instinct of an artist, thecamera is his brush. His photo-graphs, printed on canvas is theculmination of his experiencestraveling the world and capturingthe scenic beauty of Long Island.From the cityscapes of New YorkCity to the butterflies out hiswindow, his photographs arepaintings. His magnificent photoof the rumpled, tattered Ameri-can Flag, found in the rubble ofthe 911 attack, hangs in the Trib-ute Center in Downtown NewYork City. Images of “Our FlagWas Still There” are on exhibit atStudio 455.Please come, celebrate, and

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.

Water is critical for our survival. In fact, afteroxygen, it is the second most necessary life-sus-taining factor.

Under normal circumstances, people can live forweeks without food, but only for a few days with-out water.

Water helps form the fluid in our joints, themucus in our lungs, and many other bodily fluids.We need water when we exercise or are exposedto high temperatures.

We lose water through breathing, sweating, uri-nation and bowel movements. When we lose ex-cessive amounts of water, or water andelectrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, weget dehydrated.

Thirst, weakness, nausea, irritability, dizziness,confusion, headache, abnormal heart rhythms,and fluid accumulation in the abdomen and/or thelungs may be signs of dehydration.

Dehydration can happen much quicker when aperson is physically exerted. For example, an ath-lete can get dehydrated after an hour or less of ex-ercise.

Fluid requirements vary. For example, infantsneed more liquids than adults because their bod-

ies maintain ahigher water content and theirsystems do notprovide water balance that’s asgood as what’sfound in adults’bodies.

Daily water requirements foradults are approximately 0.5oz. of water forevery pound ofweight.

A generalguide for replacing water losses is 1 liter (34ounces) of fluid for every kilogram (2.2 pounds)lost, or 2 cups (16 ounces) for every pound lost.

Fruit juices, carbohydrate gels, sodas, alcoholand high-sugar sports drinks speed up dehydra-tion by stimulating excessive urine productionand/or decreasing the overall beneficial fluid intake.

That is the musicfestival experience. Music festi-vals didn’t start with Coachella,or Woodstock, or even Newport.People have been coming to-gether for music festivals sinceancient Greece. Festivals draw usout into the open air, and inspireus to believe that we can breakthrough barriers of age, geogra-phy, race and class – that we can

continuedcreate common ground. In thisexhibition, visitors will connectwith the intangible elements in-herent in the festival experience– identifying with a community,participating in a social eventand being part of the creativeprocess.

Long Island in the SixtiesThrough December 31The early-to-mid 1960s was anera of optimism on Long Island:the age of Camelot, the Beatles,and rock and roll. Amidst all ofthis positive energy, more con-tentious change was underfoot,and the island was a microcosmof the same powerful forcesshaking up the rest of the nation.The Civil Rights Movement im-pacted school district and hous-ing integration throughout theregion. Long Island residents,

like Americans everywhere,questioned the status quo in for-eign policy, gender relations, andthe meaning of “traditional” inAmerican life. This exhibitionwill take visitors on a tour of thedecade when Long Island stoodat the precipice of transforma-tions that still hold legacies forour present.

Drawn from Life: Objects and Stories from William SidneyMount’s PaintingsAugust 12 – December 31, 2016William Sidney Mount’s depic-tions of people at work, play,rest, or posed in their finestclothing provide a vivid windowon rural life in and around mid-19th century Stony Brook. Butmost of what Mount captured oncanvas with his brushes andpaints is gone; only a handful ofthe exact objects that he used for

reference survive. Today, audi-ences of Mount’s work only seehis interpretation of the people,places, and things that once sur-rounded him. Pairing Mountpaintings with objects from LIM’scollections and contemporaryphotographs of buildings andlandscapes that the artistpainted, the exhibition will allowthe visitor to see how Mount in-terpreted the world around him,and how such sites havechanged over time.

H O M E & G A R D E N

by NatalieWeinstein, Allied ASID

I’ll neverforget my firstcollege dormexperience asmy son Davidembarked onhis freshman

year at Carnegie Mellon. I hadread the brochure. I was smart. Iwas organized. I was ready totake my first-born to the nether-land of higher learning in style.Was I ever clueless! Today, I lookback and chuckle at the remem-brance of my husband and me“walking” a newly purchased oc-casional chair through the streetsof St. Louis to the WashingtonUniversity freshman dorm for myyounger son, Jason, only to findthat it couldn’t fit in his roomwhen we got there (Me – the de-signer and great space planner!).You’d have thought we’d learnedsomething by then. But no one,absolutely no one, designer in-cluded, can imagine how small adorm room shared by two stu-dents, two beds, two desks, oneinfinitesimal closet, a refrigerator,a microwave (if allowed),mounds of books, luggage, com-puter equipment and sundryother clothing and necessitiescan be – and the dorm roomsseem to have shrunk! Maybe youcan when you realize how unbe-lievably small they are withnothing in them!

So here are some tips (fromsomeone who’s been theretwice) to help the “getting readyand setting up a viable dormroom” stage of life for you andyour college bound student.

• If you can, try to get the size ofthe assigned room in advance.If, by some good fortune, youcan get information on the sizeof the bed or other providedfurniture, as well as closetspace, you’re ahead of thegame. Lay out the room ongraph paper and think verti-cally. A clever arrangement wedevised for David and later,Jason was to raise the bed (ormattress) above the dresserdrawers and storage area tomaximize floor space.

• Next, find inexpensive butworkable organizers to utilizeevery area of closet space, in-cluding the back of the door(Command hooks are great butnot for heavy stuff). Chooseclothes carefully and makesure your college student getsa lesson in doing laundry aswell as judiciously organizingdrawer and hanging space.

•Desk and study areas are mostimportant especially if yournewbie collegiate can’t dealwith studying in the library. Ifsharing a room, back to back

desks may provide more spacefor both students to work andallow for wall shelving for text-books, computer and other ma-terials, while being a naturalroom divider.

• Before buying bed linens, re-member to ask if the dormmattress is “extra-long.” Youwill need to buy sheets to fit.Consider buying a “husband” –not the kind you marry, but thekind you lean back against onthe floor or in bed for readingor studying.

• When you arrive in town, lo-cate the nearest hardware storefor incidentals. You may needto hang a fixture, buy a win-dow treatment, or make repairsin a hurry. Then kiss yourgrown-up college kids good-bye and wait for the dirty laun-dry to come home at firstbreak. Here’s the good news.You won’t have to see whattheir dorm room became 24hours after you headed hometo clean up the room they leftbehind!

“Arranging a bowl of flowersin the morning can give a senseof quiet in a crowded day – likewriting a poem or saying aprayer.”

–ANNE MORROW LINDBERGH

That is a nice way to start aquiet, sultry summer morning. Itis best to take a bucket of waterwith you to plunk the flowers inas they are cut. It is lovely tohave even a small bouquet inevery room. Don’t pass overgrasses, leaves and weeds either,they are pretty on their own or asfillers. A bouquet of herbs looksand smells good too, especiallyon the dinner table. There aremany pretty flowers to find alongthe road sides. This time of yearthe white Queen Anne’s Lace

and lovely blue chicory lookgreat together. Train your eye topick out these beauties as you goby, the price is right too.With the heat and humidity of

August, the moisture in our soil,even our ponds and pools, evap-orates at a greater rate, so wewill be needing to water morefrequently. Some of our con-tainer plantings may need watertwice a day. We can not be

wasteful with water though, it isprecious. One simple way is tocollect water on those rainy daysto use to water your plants. Makesure you use this collected waterwithin a day or so, or cover it, toprevent mosquitos from using itas a nursery. Another idea is tocollect gray water which is leftover from your everyday activi-ties. For instance, save the waterwhen you wash produce, boileggs, steam vegetables or boilunseasoned noodles. Just let thewater cool and then pour it inthe garden. Use the water fromthe children’s kiddie pool too.Collect the water in a bucketwhile you wait for the dish andbath/shower water to heat up.When you water your hanging

containers, put another plant or

continued from page 57pail underneath to collect therun off. Soaker hoses are an effi-cient way to water, all the watergoes directly into the ground andnot off into the air. Mulchingwell also conserves the wateraround your plants. A long soak-ing a couple times a week foryour lawn and garden is muchbetter than those short, everymorning waterings. Also turn offthose automatic sprinklers whenit is raining or going to rain.When planning a garden or

adding to it, try and choose na-tive plants which are happy withnature’s watering schedule.Doing the light/easy watering is agreat job for the children to do. Itis a simple and enjoyable choreand they will quickly see the re-sults if they’re not doing their jobon time. Let them plant a smallgarden of their own to water and

take care of. Some herbs or gera-niums for instance can be grownin pots and then brought in to begrown by a sunny window forthe winter, a great project and re-sponsibility for a little one.Your garden will need all this

water now, faithful watering isimportant and doing it by handmay be your best bet. Someareas and types of plants dry outfaster than others and also havedifferent needs.You should apply a 2-3 inch

layer of organic mulch and/or re-fresh existing mulch. This willhelp the soil to retain moistureand keep the nutrient-suckingweeds at bay.During this growing season

keep fertilizing your plants. Theperennials will be fine with justthe spring feeding, but if youhave cut back a plant it can usea dose of fertilizer when water-

ing, this will help it to recover.Make sure to deadhead yourflowers whenever you are in thegarden, it encourages new andbushier growth. Keep harvestingyour produce, this too encour-ages new growth. Trim off deadleaves and branches, and checkfor pests. Things can get prettywild this time of year, so find acool, shady spot and enjoy theselast months of summer.

R E A L T Y W I S E

by AlexandraRich

Buying ahome can beas stressful asselling yourhouse. Buyersface uncer-tainty aboutcost, timing,

value and needs. Starting yoursearch brings questions you ei-ther have not thought about inyears, or have never had to con-sider at all. Being prepared andhaving a plan can take much ofthe uncertainty out of theprocess.

• What is the first step? Getting a pre-approval for

your mortgage. This not the sameas chatting with a mortgage bro-ker over the phone and based onwhat you “told” him or her youhave a ball park figure for howmuch you may borrow. Beingpre-approved means that youhave submitted your tax returns,pay stubs, outstanding debt (suchas credit cards), liquid assets fordown payment and so forth. Thefinancial representative is thenprepared to give a solid numberfor the dollar amount you arequalified to borrow from a bank.There is no point in looking athomes you ultimately cannot af-ford to purchase. It only leads todisappointment or dissatisfac-tion.

• What is a “wish list” versus a“must have’ list?It pays to sit down and draw

up two lists. The must have mayinclude a two-car garage, a fullbasement and an extra bath-room. A wish list might be cen-tral air conditioning, a backyarddeck, a large walk-in closet inthe master bedroom. The first areessential to your quality of lifeand constitute the reasons whyyou are moving to begin with.

You need more room, more stor-age, and four people sharing thesame bath is no longer tenable.CAC you could install later onwhen you have the ready fundsto do it. The deck can be addedat a later time, and the closetmay be resolved with added stor-age elsewhere.

• Where do I start when I wantto make an offer and don’twant to pay the full askingprice? Again it is about being pre-

pared. You have seen a numberof houses in your price range,taken notes on the pros and consof each, and have finally settledon the home which best suitsyour needs. Is it perfect? Proba-bly not. Will you have to makesome improvements along theway? Inevitably. But you havemade a commitment in yourmind that this house mostclosely fits the bill. But whowants to pay full price? Nobodyif they don’t have to. Look atwhat comparable homes havesold for in the area. Is the askingprice within this range? You wantto make an opening offer (antici-pating a counter offer from theseller) based on the features,condition, and location. And youdo not want to insult the sellerwith a low ball offer “testing” theseller’s motivation. If you do youmay not have a chance to openthe “conversation” that could re-sult in the sale. Be informed, besmart, and be reasonable aboutvalue.

• What is a contingency? The need for the buyer to ob-

tain a mortgage in order to pur-chase is a contingency. The needfor a buyer to sell his or her cur-rent house in order to put theproceeds from that sale into thenew purchase is a contingency.Alternatively an all-cash salewith proof of available liquid as-sets is non-contingent. Typically

contingencies are worked outbetween the seller’s attorney andthe buyer’s and are incorporatedinto the contract of sale. In sim-ple terms: the fewer the contin-gencies the better. If you are incontract on your current homeand have a fully “able” (quali-fied) buyer, this can remove onehurdle. If you are currently rent-ing, this contingency is removed.

• What if I change my mind andwant to back out? This is typically “buyer’s re-

morse.” Sometimes it resultsfrom time pressures – you have aclosing date on the house youare selling and feel you have nomore time to keeping looking.Other times you may have beencaught up in emotion and nowfeel you are paying too much foryour new home. Or the engi-neer’s inspection turned up somecostly issues you were not antici-pating. It is OK to change yourmind, but do it with respect forthe seller and all other parties tothe sale. Don’t drag your feet, behonest about your concerns, anddo it quickly. Once you are infull contract changing your mindcan have significant financialconsequences.

by Scott Posner, CFP, CRPC, A.A.M.S.If you’re a small-business

owner, you think a lot abouttoday. Is your cash flow suffi-cient… today? Are your productsand services competitive…today? Are you confident in yourmarketing and advertising ef-forts… today? And because youare so focused on today, youmay be neglecting a key aspectof tomorrow – your retirement.Specifically, do you have a goodretirement plan for yourself? Given that your personal fi-

nances are so tied up with yourbusiness, your plans for the busi-ness will obviously greatly affect

your financial situation whenyou retire. Whether you want totransfer the business to anotherfamily member, sell it outright tosomeone else, or possibly justwind it down, you’ll need toplan ahead and consult withyour legal and tax advisors.However, you can take steps

now to help ensure you canenjoy a comfortable retirement.You have access to a variety ofretirement plans appropriate forsmall-business owners, includingthese:

• Owner-only 401(k) – Thisplan, also known as an indi-vidual or a “solo” 401(k), is

available to self-employed in-dividuals and business ownerswith no full-time employeesother than themselves or aspouse. As the owner, you cancontribute to your plan as bothan employer and an employee;your total contribution limit for2016 is $53,000, or $59,000 ifyou are 50 or older.

• SEP IRA – If you have just afew employees or are self-em-ployed with no employees,you might consider a SEP IRA.You’ll fund the plan with tax-deductible contributions, andyou must cover all eligible

continued• employees. (Employees them-selves cannot contribute.) Youcan contribute up to 25% ofcompensation, up to $53,000annually. (Contributions for aself-employed individual arelimited to 25% of compensa-tion minus one-half of self-em-ployment taxes.) And you canfund your SEP IRA with manydifferent types of investments.Plus, you can establish a SEPIRA for 2016 until April 17,2017.

• Defined benefit plan – Pensionplans, also known as definedbenefit plans, have becomeless prevalent in recent years –but you can still set one up foryourself if you are self-em-ployed or own your own busi-ness. This plan has highcontribution limits, which are

determined by an actuarial cal-culation, and as is the casewith other retirement plans,your contributions are typicallytax-deductible.

• SIMPLE IRA – As its name sug-gests, a SIMPLE IRA is easy toset up and maintain, and canbe a good plan if your businesshas fewer than 10 employees.Still, while a SIMPLE IRA maybe advantageous for your em-ployees, it’s less generous toyou, as far as allowable contri-butions, than an owner-only401(k), a SEP IRA or a definedbenefit plan. For 2016, yourannual contributions are gener-ally limited to $12,500, or$15,500 if you’re 50 or olderby the end of the year. You canalso make a matching contri-bution of up to 3% of yourcompensation.

You need to establish a SIM-PLE IRA between January 1 andOctober 1 of any year. In fact, ifyou’d like to set up any of the re-tirement plans we’ve looked at,don’t delay. The sooner you openyour plan, the more years youwill have to contribute – and, asyou know, time is often an in-vestor’s best friend.

S H O R T S T O R Y

by June Capossela Kempf There it was: perched on a

chair in a St. James yard sale. Assoon as I saw it, I recognized it.It used to be mine. It was thesame clock I threw out threeyears ago in Northport – actuallyput it out on the curb – in adown-sizing panic attack – andregretted doing so ever since.It is not a rare phenomenon

that items of value often wind uptossed to the curb, only to berescued in the early hours of thenext morning by a guy in a pick-up truck. In this case, the guywas a local resident named Sam,who regularly combs the streetsof North Shore communitiesseeking trash to turn into treas-ure. Sam belongs to a set of in-trepid entrepreneurs who arisebefore dawn to search for dis-carded items – long before thesanitation department has trucksready to roll. Sam is constantlyamazed at the good stuff peoplejust throw away. He and his ilktake pride in restoring what theyfind in the gutters, and love tobring back life and value to thesedecrepit pieces of junk, provingthe adage: One man’s junk is an-

other’s treasure. I never gavemuch thought to what happensafter that transformation occurs. Iassumed that they sell theseitems to some of the antiquedealers that dot historic Route25A and hope to turn a well de-served profit for their hard workand restoration skills. I wouldnever expect to find my clockbeing sold in a garage sale.My clock was merely a replica

of an old Register school housewall clock – battery operated –in itself, no treasure. There mustbe a million of them scattered inantique shops and estate sales allover the country. This clock wasencased by a solid oak frame.The top part surrounding theclock’s face was octagonal. The lower sectionwhich resembled an arrow, ex-tended to enclose a brass pendu-lum. In addition, there was a tiny music box attached to the backof the casing that you could pro-gram to play eight differenttunes. I had chosen the classicWestminster Chimes to an-nounce the hours in my oldhouse. That melody brought asense of peace and order that I

found comforting – especiallyduring some restless nighttimehours.I had it prominently displayed

in my hallway, where it served asa conversation piece. It neverfailed to stimulate interest, espe-cially when I revealed that itonce hung in a Santa Fe train sta-tion. It had the logo of the SantaFe RR etched in the concaveglass that covered its face. Moreremarkable: It once belonged toJohn Denver who gifted it to afriend – who in-turn regifted tous. That’s what made it special tome, but without any proof,American Pickers would chal-lenge that claim and drive downthe value in a heartbeat. Whocares? I know.For 20 years it remained in its

place, molly-bolted to the wall. Itheld steady through two hurri-canes, a reconstruct and a mini-earthquake. It never oncebudged until we signed the con-tract on the sale of our house.Then, on that very day, it mysteri-ously detached itself from thewall and fell to the floor with abooming crash.“There is no way,” my hus-

band, Ron said, “That this clockcould just fall off the wall… Ican’t figure it out. You didn’t tryto take it down did you?” hedared to ask. He remounted itagain and the clock behaveduntil the new buyers came totake measurements. “Are you taking the clock with

you?” they asked.“Let me think about it.” While we debated, the deci-

sion was made for us. Suddenly,in the middle of the night, an-other loud crash woke us fromanother deep sleep. This time theclock self destructed. The glasscovering its face shattered. Thependulum dislodged and thecasing split into three pieces.While the hook on the back ofthe clock remained intact, the lit-tle music box shot across the

continuedhall, disappearing into a heatingduct – leaving a small squarepinkish scar on the back of thecasing. The clock was done as faras I could see – totally unsal-vageable. Since we were movingvery soon, we had no time todeal with it, so the antique ‘regu-lator clock’ got kicked to thecurb. Just how did it get to thislocation and how did I happenupon it, in its restored state?I questioned Sam intensely. I

had to know how he came topossess this particular piece. Iwondered why he would be of-fering it for sale in this venue. Heexplained that he got it for noth-ing, He enjoyed restoring it andlike the Geico commercial goes,he added, “That’s what I do.” Heexplained that his workshop wascrowded and cluttered. Hewanted to clear the area and he

thought this was the quickestway to unload the clock andmaybe make a few dollars on it.There was a hint of urgency inhis voice.“Unload it. Did you say?”“You can have it for $50,” he

said.“Are you sure that’s the same

clock?” Ron said. I picked it upand turned it over to examine itvery carefully. It took me about asecond to spot the little pink scarfrom the music box on the backof the clock.This was my clock.I said nothing, mulling over

the situation, thinking that if wehad kept it and attempted tohave it restored ourselves, itwould easily cost that much.Hubby was thinking, $50 bucksto buy back our own clock? “There must be a reason that

we are here,” I said. “There is

somekind ofunex-plainedforcethatbroughtus to thisproperty atthis momentbefore it gotsnatched upby someoneelse… Itseems to becalling out, Ibelong toyou,” I saidto a facewith rollingeyes.“You didn’t

want it remember,”he said.

continued from page 67“Only because it was broken,”

I replied.Sam could stand no more of

this. He may have thought ourbickering was staged to drive theprice down or that he was deal-ing with a nut job that he wantedoff his property ASAP!“Obviously,” he nervously

laughed. “Your clock is pos-sessed by a very powerful spirit –one that has…” He paused, tooka deep breath, and then pickedthe clock up in his arms eagerlypushing it at me. “Forty bucks,”he said. “And it’s yours.” He raninto his garage to fetch a softblanket. “You can wrap this blan-ket around your clock. Here,take it!”We lovingly wrapped it in the

blanket, placed it in the trunkand brought it to our new hometo hang it in our new hall.

“Make sure you mount it se-curely,“ I told Ron when we gotit home – again, the eyes rolled.Ron hung it in an empty spot

that had been begging for theright wall hanging which wouldmake the correct decorativestatement. We stood back mar-veling at how perfectly it fit inand how incredibly weird theentire transaction went down.“You know,” Ron said “I think

that Sam would have given it tous if you didn’t accept his finaloffer.”“Yeah, he seemed so anxious

to ‘unload’ it.”“Maybe he had a hard time

restoring it.”Maybe the clock gave him a

hard time, I thought.As the evening wore on, the

clock ticked away like a purringengine. It continued to runsmoothly and quietly right to the

midnight hour when suddenlywe were once again awakened.This time we were struck by astrange unexpected resonance.“Did you hear that?”We both recognized that old

familiar sound – that hauntingmelody of Westminster Chimesgently echoing through thehouse, heralding its joyful mes-sage:“I’mmm back…”

He will help you to Embrace thePower of Change in your personal and professional life.

Ask Ron VillanoDear Ron,

One of my coworkers is a bitof a story-teller. He is always ex-aggerating details about his lifeand experiences, yet he cannever seem to provide any proofof these extravagant encounters.He claims to have celebrityfriends and other means of in-come, yet continues to work atour company making minimumwage and spending his weekendsbehind a computer screen. Myother co-workers and I have di-rectly caught him in a lie onmore than one occasion, but healways seems to have an excuseor a reason why his story hasholes. Overall, he is a nice guyand I truly feel sad that he thinkshe needs to create this over-the-top persona in order to be liked.My other co-workers and I con-stantly debate whether or not weshould continue to entertain hisstories or call him out on it. Whatdo you think we should do?

– What to Do

Dear What to Do,Hmm... This is a very difficult

predicament. If your co-worker isin fact exaggerating his stories toimpress you and the others thenit is possible that he is simply try-ing to feel accepted and liked byyou. Instead of putting him onthe spot and trying to catch himin a lie, why not invite him out todo an activity with you and some

of your co-workers one week-end? Maybe he is simply lonelyand isolated. By including him ina social activity he may feel morecomfortable being his true selfaround you and the rest of thegroup. If the stories continue,you have the option to ask himabout them directly or simply ac-cept that this is a part of his per-sonality. Remember, he may nottake it very well if you call himout and so you run the risk ofhurting his feelings and damag-ing the relationship. Ultimatelyyou must decide how big of animpact his story-telling choiceshave on your ability to do yourjob... If the answer is “not muchof an impact” then it’s most likelybest to leave it alone.

by William KentAs the summer vacation season

progresses, adults and childrenare urged to protect their hearing,reminding them that noise-in-duced hearing loss cannot be re-versed.Summer brings a chorus of

sweet sounds, but it also bringsnoise that can be harmful to ourears. Prolonged exposure to theroar of lawn mowers, powertools, motorized recreational ve-hicles, target shooting, concerts,loud sporting events, and fire-works can wreak havoc on ourhearing. In fact, the single bang ofa firecracker at close range canpermanently damage hearing inan instant, making it forever moredifficult to hear the subtler soundsof summer.While many noisy recreational

activities are part of summer’s de-light, it is extremely important totake precautions to ensure thatthese activities do not damageour hearing.Here are some simple tips to

follow:

• Use earplugs: When you knowyou will be exposed to loudsounds, use earplugs. Dispos-able earplugs, made of foam orsilicone, are typically availableat local pharmacies. They arepractical because you still canhear music and the conversa-tion of those around you whenyou have them in your ears. Butwhen they fit snuggly, they are

effective in adequately blockingout dangerously loud sounds.Custom ear protection craftedto fit each unique ear also isavailable from your local hear-ing healthcare professional.Custom protection ensures aproper fitting mold each time,further reducing the risk of un-wanted noise exposure.

• Leave the fireworks to the pro-fessionals: Make sure your fam-ily and friends fully enjoy thesummer and all its fireworksfestivities by celebrating smart.While watching the show, staya safe distance away – whereyou can enjoy the colors andlights, but not expose yourselfand your family to loud noises.To protect your hearing, makesure you are wearing earplugsand that they are securely inplace before the show begins.And be sure to keep them in forthe entire show.

• Keep the volume down: Whilelistening to smartphones andMP3 players, keep them at alow volume. Importantly, limityour use of headphones andear buds.

• Limit your time in noisy envi-ronments: And when you doparticipate in noisy activities,alternate them with periods ofquiet.

• Take measures to protectagainst swimmer’s ear: Be sureto dry your ears completelyafter swimming. And do your

best to drain any residual waterfrom your ear canal by tiltingyour head to the side. Also,monitor the bacterial countwhen swimming at the beach.Many beaches post signs. Stayout of the water on the daysthat the bacterial counts arehigh.

• Visit your local hearing health-care professional: A hearinghealthcare professional canprovide a hearing test to deter-mine your baseline hearinglevel and determine if you haveany hearing loss that should beaddressed.Like many things in life, we

take things for granted. Hearingloss that is not addressed early oncan have a negative effect on usin business, socially and familyrelationships.Protect your hearing and see a

hearing professional at least everytwo years for a hearing test, orsooner if you suspect a problem.Hearing testing is important; simi-lar to eye exams and blood pres-sure testing, your hearing testshould be done as part of yourannual medical check up. Mostinsurance carriers cover annualhearing tests, therefore there’s noreason not to have it done.

by Terri Pace and Mary McManamanAre you aware of the power andendless possibilities of essentialoils? There are many uses… provid-

ing safe, effective, therapeutic,and non-toxic benefits, whichare available from the essentialoils you already have in yourhome! We love using essentialoils and have found many cre-ative ways to use them every day.What have we found? Daily usehas created a foundation for ourphysical vitality, but more impor-tantly, they have enhanced ourlives in so many other ways!Previous articles in this series

focused on natural ways to

reduce our exposure to toxins byusing natural products for clean-ing, pest-free outdoor activities,and to support our skin, our bod-ies’ largest organ. This month, weturn our attention to how emo-tions affect our perspectives andhow to use essential oils to sup-port positive emotional experi-ences.Creative Ways Using EssentialOils to Make Soothe Emotions!We are grateful to Natalie

Goddard, Holistic Health Coachand Marriage & Family Life Edu-cator, for sharing her knowledgeand experiences on the topic onEssential Emotions. According toNatalie, you are created to func-tion as a whole. The spirit, mindand body are inseparably con-nected, communicating at a cel-lular level. Your body is made ofintelligent cells, wired to restorehealth. This means your body isbrilliant in design and naturallywants to be balanced and whole.To learn the language of your

body, you need to know whatemotions are and what they arecommunicating.

Emotions are information-car-rying molecules that bind to andreact with cell receptors; theyare chemical molecules whichimpact function and behavior.This new information (the infor-mation-carrying molecule, theemotion) is received inside thecell, impacting your energylevel, your behavior, and yourmood. It’s FASCINATING to dis-cover how emotions affect ourhealth! Because emotions are chemi-

cals, they are not limited to themind. Emotions flow and areprocessed throughout the body.Science reveals there are com-plex neural-processing functionsin the mind, heart and gut. These“3 brains” are neural networkswith independent memory andintelligence. This means you canactually process feelings in eachof these brains. The mind is like a conductor,

directing the body to feel emo-tionally and behave physically.The heart discerns the messagesour brain receives. The gut re-sponds accordingly, distributinghealth or illness to the rest of ourbody.Dr. Caroline Leaf explains,

“The three brains communicatewith each other. [They] feedbackto, and therefore influence themind.” Your 3 brains instinctivelyprocess your life experiences.Our thoughts create emotional

messages based on a belief sys-tem gained through many of ourlife experiences. The phone ringsand it is the principal of yourchild’s school… you immediatelythink: “This can’t be good.” Abiochemical reaction then oc-curs. You may notice an unset-tled stomach. These negativereactions are the consequence ofthe emotional message whichdisrupts our internal balance. Al-though the purpose of the callwas praiseworthy (your child isgetting an award), our initial

continuedthought created an unpleasantphysical and emotional experi-ence.How might a new thought or

emotion have created a differentoutcome? In the book Emotions& Essential Oils, “Essential oilsraise the vibration of the physicalbody (Stewart, 2003).” This is thegift essential oils can bring to ourlife experiences. Essential oilsare also chemically-based, apowerful reaction occurs as theymake contact in the body. Theyare chemically complex andmolecularly dense, which is whyessential oils have so many usesand applications, and rapidly im-pact the cells of the body.Here are some of our favorite

essential oils to help you culti-vate rich and rewarding emo-tional wellness:• Wild Orange essential oil is a

crowd pleaser and one of ourfavorites! It addresses a widevariety of emotional issues. Itinspires abundance, fosterscreativity, restores physical en-ergy, and is a mood uplifter!

• Cardamom essential oil can beused to support mental clarityand feelings of openness, twotraits necessary for beginningnew perspectives and clearingout emotional junk.

• Lavender essential oil is greatto ease feelings of tension andis widely used for its calmingand relaxing qualities.

• Myrrh essential oil promotesemotional balance and well-being. Like the warmth of amother’s love for her child,Myrrh essential oil assists indi-viduals in feeling safe and se-cure.

• Roman Chamomile essentialoil has a calming effect on the

skin, mind, and body.* It helpssoothe anger and irritability.Diffuse these essential oils and

apply to wrists and neck forpeaceful emotional experiences!Essential oils are safe, effective

and very affordable. However,not all essential oils are createdequal! Be an educated con-sumer and use only certifiedpure, therapeutic grade essentialoils for your family! Want to learn more? Join us

The Month of Juneby David F. McKell

Well here we are in June againMy favorite month of the year!It features so many wonderful things,Let me list some of them here!

To start with, there is the 14th of June,Or “Flag Day” as it is known to all of us.An annual reminder of all our blessings,We enjoy as citizens of the wonderful U.S.!

Oh and don’t forget dear old’ “Father’s Day”(Right after the one for his wife....!)How appropriate is this celebration,To commemorate their partnership in life.

We also have quite a few graduations,Where boys and girls all appear.And perhaps will then celebrate at the beaches,That all open up at this time of the year.

It’s a beautiful time on Long IslandWith longer days of sunshine and more.Which allows us all to go boating or swimming,On both the South and North Shores!

Or perhaps make a trip to the East EndWith that beautiful countrified scene.Where farm stands and lovely wineriesAre the most elegant you’ve ever seen!

So take advantage of this great opportunityTo find Mother Nature at her best.As you enjoy this wonderful summer,With all your family, friends and the rest!

HAPPY DAYS!

The 4th of Julyby John Taratunio, Fairfield Condos

The 4th of JulyMeans rockets in the sky

And everyone with a flag to waveIt means people cheeringThe whole world hearing

Freedom in the land of the braveIt’s folks watching a parade

Hot dogs and lemonadeBarbecues and corn on the cob

It’s families on picnicsEating watermelon and drumsticks

Celebrating with a day off from the jobIt means Liberty and Freedom

Which our Constitution provides forTwo words that Americans

Have fought, bled and died forFor over two hundred years

Amid joy and cheersAmericans have celebrated this way

Because our forefathers knewThe right thing to do

By signing the “Declaration Of Independence” On this day.
