My ankles thank you... As someone who spends a lot of time in Huntington village, sometimes the smallest changes can really stand out. Recently a portion of Gerard Street in the village was repaved, and I personally notice the difference almost every day. The stretch of road, especially between Wall Street and New York Avenue, is heavily traveled and has a lot of parking. It is nice to see the town recognized that it was time to make an improvement on the road. Whether walking across or driving down the street, it is always just a little bit easier to have flat, even blacktop under your feet as opposed to a cracked porous surface.

With New Album, Gin Blossoms Come Full Circle SPOTLIGHT By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com
The ’90’s alternative rock band Gin Blossoms will take the stage in Huntington this weekend to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its first major album, “New Miserable Experience.” Lead singer Robin Wilson said it was a “slow build” for the band from Tempe, Arizona to first get the music from the first album, including hits “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About You,” onto mainstream radio. “Our label told us that at some point we were going to have a song on the radio,” Wilson, who now lives in Valley Stream, said. “When ‘Jealousy’ took off, it was kind of a relief and exciting.” The success of “New Miserable Experience” brought Wilson, who

will be joined on stage by bandmates guitarist Scott Johnson, bassist Bill Leen and guitarist Jesse Valenzuela, to the forefront of popular music.
“I always wanted to be in a band and be like my heroes, and suddenly there you are on MTV…It’s kind of surreal, and it feels like it’s happening
to somebody else,” Wilson said. The Gin Blossoms are also celebrating the release of their newest album, “Mixed Reality,” which was produced by Don Dixon and recorded by Mitch Easter. Wilson said that, with the album, the band has come “full circle.” “As a songwriter I feel like it taps into something really elemental,” he said. “We wrote songs that we would have wanted to record in 1990. In a lot of ways, ‘Mixed Reality’ feels like a companion record to ‘New Miserable Experience.’” In addition to creating a musical connection with the audience during their show at The Paramount this weekend, Wilson said the Gin Blossoms would also be supporting the music based cancer charity Love Hope Strength with a booth at the show. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show this Sunday. Tickets are $29.50-$49.50 and can be purchased at the box office or online at Paramountny.com.

Inpreet Rattu used her position as Miss Liberty to inspire students at Birchwood Intermediate School in Huntington Station to write letters thanking military service members and first responders for their service.
Pageant Winner Inspires Students To Thank Those Who Serve
By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com
A young woman from Huntington who was recently crowned in the regional Miss Liberty pageant took a break last week from preparing for her next pageantry venture in order to help elementary school students thank soldiers and first responders for their service. Inpreet Rattu, 20, of Huntington Station, returned to Birchwood Intermediate School in Huntington Station last Wednesday and Thursday to give presentations at her former school. She also led a letter writing campaign that saw students thank soldiers stationed overseas, along with firefighters and police officers. Rattu graduated from Birchwood in 2009; she said it was an amazing experience to return to the school and meet the students. “Everyone was so welcoming, and everyone was so dedicated to making a difference in the lives of these service members,” Rattu said. “Just seeing their expressions and hearing what they had to say truly inspired me because I know that the service members are going to appreciate the letters that these children wrote.” Rattu won the regional Miss Liberty pageant in March which qualifies here to compete in the Miss New York pageant on June 28-30 in Buffalo.
As part of the competition, Rattu decided to make “No Service Member Left Behind” her personal platform. “That entails giving thanks to veterans, current service members in our military as well as the police officers, firefighters and first responders who serve our communities on a day to day basis,” Rattu said. Rattu said she visited Birchwood because she wanted to find a unique way to thank service members that would get young people involved. “I feel like often times we are so immersed in our own lives that we forget about those who give us the opportunity to wake up every morning and do the things we do,” Rattu said. Rattu, now a student at Farmingdale State College who is enrolled in the ROTC program, said she is in the process of compiling letters from the Birchwood students and will be mailing them out later this month. The Miss New York pageant will be the first time that Rattu has competed at the state level, and, despite what she said will be a field of very talented and accomplished young women, Rattu is determined to show the judges her true self. She said, “I want to stay true to who I am, and I want the judges to see the real me. I won the title of Miss Liberty for a reason, and that’s because I went out on stage and I showed exactly who I am.”

Halfway Mark: Our Favorites Of 2018 So Far
By The Foodies
With the year nearly halfway over, our Foodies wanted to take the opportunity to reflect on some of our favorite dishes, so far, of 2018. From light, airy salads to tender hunks of meat, we have had the chance to sample some of the best fare from the
finest restaurants around town, so it was hard to narrow down the list (and even more of our favorites just missed the cut). That said, below are our nine of our favorite dishes of 2018. And if these dishes are a preview of what’s to come in the second half of the year, then we can’t wait to get out and try more of what Huntington’s finest restaurants have to offer.
Ara Greek Kitchen and Bar 2 Henry St., Commack 631-360-8336 Fattusco’s 1019 Fort Salonga Rd, Northport 631-651-9777 Finley’s Seafood 43 Green St., Huntington 631-351-3440
The visually-stunning Beet Salad ($12) at Ara Greek Kitchen in Commack was one of the most creative dish that our Foodies tried. It featured pickled red and yellow beets tossed with baby arugula, red onion, ladolemono and yogurt
At the newly-opened Hatch in Huntington, our Foodies had an early morning breakfast that included The Classic ($10.75), which came with overeasy eggs, well-seasoned sausage links, a side of hash browns and white toast.
The Mamma Mia Pizza ($13.95) from the pizza oven at The Refuge, a hip, fun hangout in Melville, is topped with chicken cutlet, broccoli rabe, tomato, a creamy blend of mozzarella and Parmesan and a balsamic drizzle that’s both tasty and outside the box.
At Fattusco’s in Northport our Foodies were treated to some classic Italian food, including the slow simmered Le Polpette (3 for $8), or handcrafted beef and pork meatballs hand-rolled with fresh herbs and simmered in a Sunday style sauce, that conjured images of grandma’s kitchen.
The Anatra alle More ($28) from Jonathan’s Ristorante features crispy-skinned breast of Long Island duck perfectly complemented by farro, and Brussels sprouts that are good enough to have their own dish. It’s plated with a splash of blackberry sauce to bring some sweet to the savory.
The flavorful Paella Valenciana ($28) from Sur Argentinian Steakhouse in Huntington took our Foodies on a mouthwatering trip to South America. The Spanish saffron rice gave the dish a tasty flare that complemented the shrimp, clams, mussels, chicken and chorizo.
Our Foodies think Finley’s Seafood in Huntington hit the jackpot with the Lobster Roll ($22) on their new seafood menu that’s served on a briochestyle roll with lemon mayo, celery and addictive old bay potato chips.
Our carnivore inclined Foodies were anxious to try the 16-ounce Bone in Ribeye ($46) at Mac’s Steakhouse, and they were not disappointed. The tender, juicy steak is cooked to order and simply seasoned to avoid muddling the beef flavor.
At TOA in Huntington, our Foodies had their first Poke Bowl ($12.95) that featured fresh salmon, tuna, shrimp and scallops, refreshing seaweed salad, mango, onion crisps, edamame, avocado and a spicy sriracha aioli.

‘Little Free Library’ Opens At Sweet Hollow Councilwoman Joan Cergol is pictured with members of Brownie Troop 3650 at the new little free library in Sweet Hollow Park in Melville that the troop helped create and will now manage.
Huntington Councilwoman Joan Cergol joined with the members of Brownie Troop 3650 May 31 in dedicating the Little Free Library at Sweet Hollow Park that the troop obtained, decorated, donated to the Town and will manage. Cergol, who helped facilitate the donation of the library and worked with other town officials in determining its placement, spoke briefly with the girls before unveiling the library, a refurbished former newspaper vending box. The councilwoman then joined with the troop and its leaders, Adele Tongish and Katie Ehrlich, in placing the first books into the library. “The girls did an amazing job decorating the library,” Cergol said. “As the girls told me, they hope the library will be a welcome addition to the park, encouraging children to read and providing reading material for parents who bring their children to the playground. Thank you to the troop leaders and to all the girls for their hard work and for making the Town part of their project.” This is the third Little Free Library on town property. The first, in the lobby of town hall, was installed in January 2017 and is maintained by the Huntington Public Library. The second, at Gateway Community Garden in Huntington Station, was installed last summer and is maintained by the notfor-profit literacy group Book Fairies. The goal of the Little Free Library movement is to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and to build a sense of community by sharing skills, creativity and wisdom across generations. It was started in 2009, when Hudson, Wisconsin resident Todd H. Bol built the first Little Free Library and placed it in his yard to honor his mother. The idea for the handmade book exchanges with the motto, “Take a book, return a book” took hold quickly, and the number of registered book exchanges has grown to more than 65,000 around the world, in all 50 states and 80 countries. The program is administered by the notfor-profit Little Free Library Ltd., which encourages the volunteer stewards who manage the book exchanges to register so their libraries can be found on the organization’s map.

shops, eateries and cultural institutions that can make for a fun-filled day of discovery. Cold Spring Harbor got its name for the freshwater springs that still flow in the area. The bucolic picture of serenity conjured by the name couldn’t be farther from the truth, at least during the village’s heyday in the early years of the 19th century. In the early- to mid-1800s, Cold Spring Harbor was a bustling port and center of the then lucrative whaling trade. It’s easy to imagine how the comings and goings of great whaling ships brought life to the village with cargo and supplies moving through its streets, and sea-worn sailors making the most of their time on land before the next months-long stint at sea. The whaling trade brought great wealth to the community and many of the great homes built by sea captains and merchants still stand today. Whaling money built St. John’s Episcopal Church, a postcard-worthy structure overlooking the salt pond at what is today the Nassau-Suffolk border. With the decline of the whaling industry in the later years of the 19th century, the tourist trade took hold. The harbor front was kept busy in summers with vessels ferrying in visitors from Manhattan and other areas to take advantage of seaside

STROLL THROUGH COLD SPRING HARBOR
JUNE 7, 2018 - S4
Look Who’s Walkin’ This Quaint Little Town
Even on a humid, downcast afternoon last Friday, the streets and shops of Cold Spring Harbor village managed to stay busy. It’s not much of a surprise as no matter the weather, the quaint waterfront downtown seems always able to draw in a crowd. Dan Marino, who lives just around the corner from Main Street, was strolling that afternoon. He had come into town to look for a job at Sandbar, one of the restaurants that calls Main Street in Cold Spring Harbor its home. To Marino, the appeal of Cold Spring Harbor is the small town atmosphere; it’s not big and sprawling, but rather a long street prime for strolling, he said. Marino also mentioned Cold Spring Harbor’s history, as demonstrated by the many historical signs dotted across the village, and the two museums along Harbor Road. Another resident, Kate Cronin, was also out on the town. Cronin works at the Daniel Gale office on Harbor Road, so she’s in the village often. She also noted Cold Spring Harbor’s historic nature that, she said, is a great draw. Cronin also talking about the proximity of the village to the Long Island Sound, and, of course, the harbor. A bit further up the street, Sam and Vicky Derosa were shopping along Main Street. The Derosas, of Kings

Park, both said they visit Cold Spring Harbor often, usually to check out the restaurant scene. Sam said he’s a big fan of the town, citing how different it was from the endless, congested streets of New York City, where he used to work. Similarly, Vicky said she enjoys the smaller size and relaxed nature of Cold Spring Harbor village. She also praised the quaint town’s shops for being “unique.” I can “find things here that she couldn’t find anywhere else,” Derosa said.

resorts and hotels. The boisterous days when whale ships berthed and more congenial resort town days have left their mark on the picturesque downtown that is Cold Spring Harbor today. It’s still a center of commerce. Unique boutiques and gift shops make Cold Spring Harbor a browse and buy mecca. It’s easy to spend half a day wandering in and out of one-of-a-kind shops. Cold Spring Harbor is likewise home to a number of cultural and learning institutions. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful campus of internationally respected Cold Spring Laboratory; learn about the early days of firefighting at Cold Spring Harbor Firehouse Museum; take in a historical exhibit at Preservation Long Island; immerse oneself in the whaling

days at the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum; or learn about modern genetics at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s DNA Learning Center. Or one can just enjoy the scenery. Take in the view from the porch at Cold Spring Harbor Library; hit the Greenbelt Trail at Cold Spring Harbor State Park; or watch the boats bob on
the harbor from Billy Joel Park. And there’s no better place from which to watch a sunset than the village green opposite the firehouse.

Market Volatility And How To Address It By Jon L. Ten Haagen, CFP ® asktheexpert@longislandergroup.com
It is inevitable: If you invest in the markets for any period of time, you will experience one, a volatile market. Volatility is a statistical measure of the tendency of a market or security to rise or fall sharply within a short period of time. It is typically measured by the standard deviation of the return of an investment. Standard deviation is a statistical concept that denotes the amount of variation or deviation that might be expected. Example: It would be possible to see the S&P500 have a standard deviation of about 15 percent, while a more stable investment, such as a Certificate of Deposit, will typically have a standard deviation of zero because the return never varies. Volatile markets are usually characterized by wide price fluctuations and heavy trading. They often result from an imbalance in orders in one direction (all buys and not sells, etc.). Others blame volatility on day traders, short sellers and institutional investors. One measure of relative volatility is a particular stock’s BETA. If a stock has
a BETA of one, then it is in line with the markets. If the BETA is lower than one, the stock moves in price less than the market (as a percentage). If the BETA is above one, the stock is considered volatile. We experience BULL and BEAR markets on a regular basis. Not all Bear Markets are created equal. They vary in intensity, duration and strength. But one thing does always occur after a Bull Market (to date so far): The markets revert to the mean, back to the ‘normal ebb and flow.’ A market correction is defined as a 15-percent or greater decline in the market (be it the DOW or S&P500, etc.). With volatility near historic lows and the last market pullback a distant memory (we are in the second longest bull market today). Investors may not be prepared or thinking of a downturn today, however, declines are a normal part of the ebb and flow of the markets. Investors who have stayed the course and stayed in the markets during downturns over the long run have typically been rewarded. What is the common denominator of the years 1929, 1939, 1949, 1959, 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999, 2009: There was a 20-percent or more pull back in the market; there were a few more in other years. Bear markets (pullbacks) are a

normal function of the markets and they are healthy in the long run. It gives investors time to pause and take time to reflect on their investments and to adjust portfolios if needed. We have had a steady up trending market for almost a decade, and in January, we had a volatile pause. Time to reflect and redefine our objectives. Since 1949, there have been nine periods of 20-percent or greater declines in the S&P500. The average declines of 33 percent were definitely painful, missing out on the 268-percent return could be worse. Timing the markets is a fool’s job when you take into account the duration of these bear markets (14 months, on average). Investors should be in touch with their advisors on a regular basis to make sure their investment strategy is still properly balanced. If in 2009 you had a balanced portfolio of 60 percent equity and 40 percent fixed income, and you did no adjustments since then, you are most likely way out of balance. Equities have basically gone up and fixed income faltered a bit. You should review and make sure your positions
Local officials and ocean farming experts recently met to discuss new ocean farming initiatives that could be implemented in Northport Harbor, Oyster Bay and Hempstead Harbor. Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci was among those who attended the event that was hosted by Rep. Tom Suozzi at The WaterFront Center in Oyster Bay on May 31. 3D Ocean Farming is a polyculture vertical farming system that grows a mix of seaweeds and shellfish that
require zero input – creating a sustainable form of food production, sequestering carbon, rebuilding reef ecosystems, creating jobs and improving fishing economy. “In the tradition of Huntington’s proud maritime heritage, ocean farming would be a boon to the Northport community and Huntington as a whole, benefitting our local economy, creating jobs, and protecting our environment,” Lupinacci said.

b u s in e s s Spotlight On
Huntington Businesses By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com
A Huntington resident is combining her love for teaching and passion for health and fitness with her newest business venture. Lauren Helm opened at the end of April a Huntington location of The Bar Method, a chain of boutique fitness studios that begin in California and has since spread across the country. At the 50 Stewart Ave. space, Helm and her staff create a unique exercise routine that combines classes that utilize the ballet barre and body weight exercises. The Bar Method was founded out of San Francisco in 2001; the chain has since grown to more than 118 locations nationwide.
Helm discovered The Bar Method in 2010 while living in Los Angeles. When she moved to Long Island, there was no convenient location for her to continue training. With the closet studio nearly an hour away from her home, Helm said she decided to use the knowledge she gained through her background as a biology teacher to open Suffolk’s first Bar Method studio. Helm said she was drawn to The Bar Method because of the emphasis on safety and the basis in physical therapy. “I had a lot of injuries in the other sports I had done other the years, so I found the stretching and proper alignment to really be restorative for me,” Helm said. The Huntington village studio offers mixed level classes for men and women of all ages and ability levels. Classes begin at 6 a.m. and are offered throughout the day until 8 p.m. Every Bar Method class starts with a warm-up session in the middle of the bright, spacious studio before progressing to the barre for a sequence of leg and seat exercises and core work.
The Bar Method’s highly trained instructors teach classes in bright, spacious studio, above, that includes a dance barre. The Huntington village location of the boutique fitness studio chain, right, is now open at 50 Stewart Ave.

Welcoming Atmosphere At The Bar Method
Huntington resident Lauren Helm decided to combine her love of teaching with her fitness when she opened The Bar Method Huntington village.
The Bar Method stands out from other exercise studios in the area, Helm said, because their instructors have specific training that creates “a higher level of connecting and that personal touch.” “The Bar Method instructors train for six months so they have a really
good understanding of anatomy and how all the different exercises align the body,” Helm said. “The instructors are also trained to modify the exercises on any given day for every client based on their fitness level, injuries, strengths or flexibility.” Helm said that part of The Bar Method’s appeal is that the exercises are sustainable for people of any age and are designed to prevent injuries. “We get a real variety of clients… We have clients in their teens all the way through their seventies,” She said. The studio is located in the newlyrenovated Ice House building on Stewart Avenue. It features a large workout room, full ladies locker room and will, in the near future, have a childcare center so that moms can find the time to stay healthy and fit. The diverse appeal of The Bar Method creates a very welcoming and inclusive atmosphere in the classes; something Helm said creates a real spirit of camaraderie among her clients. “We welcome everyone in, and you feel really good when you leave,” Helm said. “We want to create some confidence and wellness in everyone to keep people healthy and feeling good about themselves.”

When the Cinema Arts Centre was founded in 1973, it was called the New Community Cinema.

Longtime residents love to reminisce about how they were there back when Vic and Char would hang a sheet on the wall of a friend’s dance studio and project films with a borrowed projector. Attendees would bring their own chairs and have tea and chat about the film while the reels were being changed. They call it the “sheeton-the-wall” days. Membership began as a request for a contribution from each filmgoer to help pay for the following week’s film. Since this beginning, they have grown to become a state-of-the-art cinema, with digital and 35mm projection capability, three main auditoriums, and a big screen in their multipurpose space, the Sky Room Café.
