Neighbors Respond To Cry For Help Local uses donations from residents to purchase tents for victims of Haiti earthquake By Alessandra Malito amalito@longislandernews.com

By going door to door and sending letters to neighbors, a Dix Hills man was able to raise enough money to buy 60 tents for those affected by the earthquake in Haiti. Frank Altenord, 53, who was born and raised in Haiti, raised $1,500 to support families abroad after visiting the country destroyed by the natural disaster. “My wife and I went to Haiti to give the little amount of help that we could right after the earthquake in January. We returned to New York with heavy hearts knowing the catastrophe that we left behind. It was indescribable,” he wrote in a letter to his neighbors in February. After leaving Haiti, he began raising money that would support those who lost their homes. “It was very difficult to handle when I went the first time,” Altenord said. “I wish I could do more but I was limited in terms of resources.” For one week in March, he returned to

Haiti to supply people and their families with tents. Because of the terrible weather conditions Haiti faces, including a

hurricane season ahead, Altenord felt that tents would protect families from inclement weather.

Before receiving the tents, Haitian families’ only shelter came from towels and sheets hanging from wood, makeshift protection that does not fare well in storms. Not only did he provide families with the tents, but he helped build them as well. To have tents that can functionally save families from poor weather conditions was something of a blessing for them. After one woman’s tent was built, Altenord recalls turning back to look at her while he was walking away and seeing her pray. She had her arms open wide and was praising God for the shelter. Altenord’s good will doesn’t end with the tents. He plans on going for a third time in August to start another project, which will also protect against terrible weather. “I have a plan to plant trees in Haiti,” he said, concerned about the hurricane season. “Especially with the hurricane season and the fact that there’s no trees to sustain the lands, it’s easy to have a disaster again.” (Continued on page A18)

Disputed Highway Workers Paid Seven men dividing more than $20K for work performed By Danny Schrafel dschrafel@longislandernews.com

The Annual Guide To Huntington Business 2010

Months after being caught in a messy feud over whether the Huntington highway superintendent has the right to hire staff without town board approval, the town allocated more than $20,000 to pay seven men for the work they did earlier this year while they thought they were on staff. The town confirmed the accuracy of a U.S Department of Labor form quantifying the services provided by the seven men at $20,359.54, and checks were cut prior to the June 15 town board meeting, Highway Superintendent William Naughton said. “Did [the town] really save money? I don’t know, but I’m happy the people will get the money they were owed in the last six months,” Local 342 Long Island Public Service Employees President Bill Hennessey said. The union represents blue-collar workers employed by the Town of Huntington. The men worked as nonpermanent employees last summer as well, but after the highway department moved to make them full-time staff at the end of 2009, the town board sued Naughton on Feb. 3, arguing he ignored a townwide hiring freeze. The town moved to withdraw its suit on March 3, but Naughton sued five days later, demanding a judgment that

his actions to hire the men involved in the case were lawful and within his rights as an elected highway superintendent. Each of the eight men Naughton allegedly tried to hire were notified by letter from Jan. 15 to Jan. 19 and again from Jan. 26 to 27 that they were not employed by the town, were not placed on the payroll because there were no vacancies and that they were performing services at their own risk. Local 342 filed a complaint with the federal Department of Labor, beginning the process leading up to the June 15 resolution. “When you put people to work for you and you don’t pay them, you have protections. That’s what they have the Department of Labor for,” Councilman Mark Cuthbertson said. “We’re not happy about the fact that this happened in the first place, but we have to pay people who work.” Five of the seven men now work as part-time nonpermanent workers and can have those positions for six months at most, Naughton said. Their pay is coming out of a separate account for seasonal workers, Huntington spokesman A.J. Carter said. Naughton’s suit against the town is still pending, as the courts decide whether his case can proceed, attorney A. Thomas Levin, of Garden City-based Meyer Suozzi, English & Klein P.C., said. Councilman Mark Mayoka introduced the resolution to (Continued on page A18)

Vowing To Keep Vic’s Vision Alive Hundreds show to pay their final respects to Cinema Arts Centre co-founder Half Hollow Hills photos/Sara-Megan Walsh

Hundreds gathered at Huntington’s Cinema Arts Centre to pay their respect to arts visionary Vic Skolnick and give testimony to his lasting legacy. The memorial tribute brought together filmmakers, actors, arts leaders, politicians and local residents on Saturday in memory of the Cinema Arts Centre (CAC)’s co-founder and co-director who died June 10. He was 81. “The first thing I thought when I walked into the theater is, it would have made Vic so happy to see a packed house,” said CAC co-founder Charlotte Sky, his partner of nearly 60 years. As she recounted his life and his quest to share knowledge and the history of the cinema in the eulogy, her words were simultaneously broadcast live across the CAC’s three theaters, the Sky Room and outside, where the overflow stood. “Vic didn’t realize how loved he was. One night I said to him, ‘Vic, do you really think we’re making a difference in people’s lives with all these films they’ve seen?’” Sky said, met by a thunderous round of applause. “There were so many people whose lives were made better because of Vic,” said Vic and Sky’s son, Dylan Skolnick, later explaining, “I think everything he did was an attempt to give others the experience he had of breaking free of the world, to expand their world view, to break free from tunnel vision.” Many recounted the CAC’s early days in a Huntington dance studio with films shown on bedsheets with a rented projector, and then a Huntington gymnasium before moving to its current location in 1977. “In the official history, there is much made of the original story of projecting films on a bed sheet.

It depends on a community effort, which is exactly the way Vic wanted it to be.” In lieu of flowers or gifts, the CAC has asked for contributions to the Vic Skolnick Memorial Fund, which will be used to help support future operations.

MELVILLE

Suit: Doc Lied In Bankruptcy Claim Patients paid thousands before orthodontist Balaban failed to list them as creditors By Mike Koehler mkoehler@longislandernews.com

A band of patients filed a lawsuit earlier this month claiming their former Melville orthodontist illegally hid them as creditors. Dr. Stuart Balaban has been the target of scathing attacks on various Internet blogs and websites since late March for allegedly accepting lump sums of payment for work never performed. Attorney Michael Siegel, of Manhattan-based Siegel & Siegel, filed a lawsuit on behalf of 12 families on June 7. “He didn’t list any of his patients. You’re required to list them as a debt or list them as a contract that still has performance on them,” Siegel said. David Slavin, one of the 12, said he paid Balaban $6,600 for orthodontic work on his son and daughter. In exchange for the large payments, the dentist promised the Merrick man lifetime treatment for his children at no additional charge. Slavin said he works longer hours as a

chiropractor trying to come up with more money for his new orthodontist. The family has also made several cuts, including taking a car off the road. “My kids are undergoing treatment. I am paying monthly and that bothers me because I already paid for my kids’ orthodontics,” Slavin said. “At this point, we’re just sitting and waiting because they’re doing the law stuff.” He is just one of hundreds defrauded by Balaban, Siegel said. Just a dozen families are listed, with about 20 child patients affected, the attorney added, but more victims may join the suit. “People call us all the time,” Siegel said. “There’ll come a time when the client group has to be closed, but we haven’t reached that point yet.” According to the lawsuit, Balaban personally filed for bankruptcy relief on Dec. 11, 2009 through Melville-based attorney Peter Corey. The orthodontist listed 20 creditors and admitted to owing more than $412,000. He listed fewer than $50,000 in assets, including a 2004

BMW X3 and Citibank checking account containing $2,500, both exempt. His private corporation was also listed, but with no value. At the time, Corey said his client intended to care for patients on an ongoing basis before his relationship with another orthodontist fell through. “It’s unfortunate, because Dr. Balaban had a plan in place to treat all these patients. After the bankruptcy he was unable to treat the patients,” Corey said. Siegel said Balaban closed his Melville office and moved into Dr. Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling’s Woodbury office in November 2009. Through the winter, the attorney said, he continued to solicit new patients, claiming he had just lost his lease. It wasn’t until March 23 when his bankruptcy discharge was granted that he told them he was bankrupt, Siegel added. Balaban, of Dix Hills, did not return messages for comment. After news of the orthodontist’s bankruptcy came out, Fulop-Goodling issued a statement through a spokeswoman,

claiming she was also duped, never received a dime from Balaban, and would have to charge his patients again for continued treatment. A number of former patients speculated online that both orthodontists were involved, even alleging it was a scam concocted between them. Siegel said he would begin investigating both once he had Balaban’s bankruptcy discharge reversed. “I’m going to follow the money. If Dr. Jacquie got the money and has the obligation to treat the people, then she has the responsibility to give it back,” he said. Fulop-Goodling’s spokeswoman did not return requests for comment. According to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the adversary proceeding is waiting for Balaban to respond before it proceeds under Judge Dorothy Eisenberg in Central Islip. “Either he’s going to default because he doesn’t have the money or he’ll fight it,” Siegel said. “I served it two weeks ago; he has a month to respond.”

HUNTINGTON STATION

Board Holds AvalonBay Vote Until July Following changes in plans, residents protesting development request vote in September Half Hollow Hills photos/Danny Schrafel

By Danny Schrafel dschrafel@longislandernews.com

The Huntington Town Board moved a vote on the 490-unit AvalonBay Huntington Station housing development until July 6 before residents protested and criticized the proposal at town hall last Tuesday. The vote, initially planned for the evening of June 15, was pushed to July 6 after confusion ensued over when the vote would – and legally, could – be held after a 90day extension for deliberation was enacted May 17. Again citing concerns over density, traffic, school impacts and sewer capacity, several dozen residents, including members of the Conservative Society for Action (CSA) picketed outside Town Hall Tuesday, accusing the board of trying to sneak through a vote in June on a proposal they thought would be settled in September. “This Avalon project and changing the zoning laws will affect tens of thousands of people… you guys are sly, though,” Huntington resident Chris O’Donnell said. “Jam it down our throats like the day laborer site… if any of you board members had a conscience or a care at all about Huntington, please vote no on the Avalon project… don’t let us down, disgust us and sell us out like you have over and over again.” In a June 15 letter to Huntington residents, four board members – although Councilman Mark Mayoka did not sign his name, he stressed he agreed with its message – rebutted a Newsday article that stated the vote would be held in September. “There was a feeling that perhaps we should not proceed tonight to give people the benefit of the doubt,” said Supervisor Frank Petrone, who pulled the vote during the June 15 town board workshop. “The resolution was to extend to September the 90-day period, not to have it voted on in September. I think we explained that, and people understood that.”

Whistle-blowing, Centerport resident John Fox pickets outside Town Hall on June 15 to protest AvalonBay’s proposed Huntington Station development with about three-dozen residents. Since the initial March hearing, the proposal has been trimmed from 530 units to 490, reducing the density to 18.5 units per acre. Revised plans call for one less building, fewer parking spaces and more open space in the development. Three-quarters of the units will be sold at market value, while the 122 income-restricted units will be broken down into affordable, workforce and moderate-income units. Affordable rental units are being set aside for appli-

cants with 50 percent of the median income, while workforce is 80 percent of median income and moderate is 110 percent. Estimated monthly rents for a one-bedroom unit would be $1,018 for an affordable apartment, $1,629 for workforce one-bedroom and $1,961 for moderate, according to a town fact sheet.

Avalon has agreed to spend up to $25,000 for a bus stop/enclosure at the AvalonBay development if the HART bus system administrators request it; $75,000 for the Friends of the Huntington Train Station; $25,000 for the Family Service League; and $50,000 in donations to community organizations.

Elder Law Attorney To Lead Bar Sheryl Randazzo elected to serve as 102nd president of Suffolk County Bar Association By Danny Schrafel dschrafel@longislandernews.com

What began as an eye-opening co-op at Boston City Hall drew Northport resident Sheryl Randazzo to elder law, and her passion has taken her to the top of Suffolk County’s professional law association. Randazzo, 43, was installed as the 102nd president of the 3,800-member Suffolk County Bar Association at Holbrook’s Villa Lombardi restaurant on June 3. Her journey leading to that day began at Northeastern University in the late 1980s, where she studied history and political science. A co-op position at Boston City Hall dealing with tenant’s rights drew many elderly Bostonians, an experience that “opened her eyes” to what would become known as elder law. “I was always drawn to law,” Randazzo said. “It wasn’t until I came upon a position at Boston City Hall that it really felt like it connected for me… I wanted to work with seniors, help them plan, anticipate crisis and deal with crisis.” A 1992 graduate of the Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law, Randazzo began her legal career in 1993 as an associate/law clerk for Melville-based Garcia & Stallone before becoming an associate with Ronald Fatoullah in 1995. She hung her own shingle in 1996 and partnered with her brother, Ralph, in 2000, forming Randazzo &

Their practice focuses on elder law and estate planning and administration – drafting wills and trusts, long-term care planning, guardianship, Medicaid/Medicare matters and the needs and rights of the elderly and disabled. Now as the leader of the Suffolk Bar, Randazzo said she’s able to give back more to the organization that was so

helpful to her when she opened a private practice in 1996. “I have the most respectful colleagues who are willing to share their knowledge, experience and perspective,” she said. “Any experience I find myself interacting with attorneys has been so enriching.” For 2010, the Suffolk Bar has adopted the theme “In Celebration of Membership,” with a focus on helping members and Suffolk County during the recession through practice management and wellness awareness events, by maintaining the Suffolk County Academy of Law’s programming, bolstering service availability and improving networking. “My goal is to enhance the sense of community that’s there, just bring more people into that circle of leaders and broaden people’s participation in things we’re often doing quite well,” Randazzo said. A member of the Suffolk Bar since 1993, Randazzo has participated in numerous philanthropic efforts, and chaired and co-chaired numerous committees. She also belongs to many legal associations in Suffolk County and New York and has been a trustee on the Suffolk County Academy of Law since 2003, where she was associate dean from 20012003. In addition to extensive involvement in both public service and legal associations, Randazzo is a frequent lecturer who speaks to her colleagues and the public about elder law, estate planning

She said being a mother to her daughter, Ruby, is “her proudest role yet.” “I’m hoping to demonstrate to other young professionals that you can’t wait for your life to get in order to accomplish other things. You have to have a global view,” she said. “A lot of women put off having children until much later… I don’t think you have to do that to do it all.” Ruby, who will celebrate her third birthday on July 10, has even benefited the professional organization mom now leads, Randazzo said. “She loves the Bar Association; she knows her way around,” Sheryl said of Ruby. “She’s a real asset… she makes people smile.”

Town Trims Nearly $1M In Midyear Audit Naughton blasts highway cuts as $921K in townwide savings moves into reserve budgets By Danny Schrafel dschrafel@longislandernews.com

For the second consecutive year, the town’s annual budget review has yielded significant savings which were transferred into contingency budgets. Led by Huntington Comptroller Tracy Yogman, the town board agreed to move more than $921,000 into reserves. Yogman’s office sat down with department heads and takes a line-by-line look at what can be trimmed from their budgets. “It’s an ongoing review of spending for the year,” Councilman Mark Cuthbertson said. “We have to take a conservative look at our budget numbers – budgets are living documents. We have to enact them as a plan for a year, but then you have to monitor them.” A result of the review, Yogman said, is that savings are moved to contingency accounts. The only way to spend that money is with town board approval. “We have spent less than we budgeted and this resolution prevents us from spending it somewhere else,” Huntington spokesman A.J. Carter said. Yogman attributed budget savings in fuel lines to conservative estimates holding positions open throughout town government has also led to reductions in health insurance costs. Councilman Mark Mayoka, whose resolution to enact a 5-percent, across-theboard cut to the general fund for 2010 and enforce a 5-percent budget-to-budget reduction for 2011 failed to receive a second at several town board meetings,

praised the 1-percent reduction as a first step. However, he criticized $29,560 in increases for Town Attorney John Leo’s office as an example of excess spending. “The most glaring example is in the legal department, which has exceeded its budget by $30,000, Mayoka said on June 15. “Do we really need to spend more money on lawyers?” Yogman said the expenses are parity increases and do not reflect an increase in staff levels. Mayoka said he hopes to work with the comptroller to further cut spending in “about 10 different areas” by, for example, instituting worker productivity-enhancing measures, creating programs to boost energy efficiency and possibly offering a buyout program for some department heads. The councilman has promised to hold a budget symposium in the coming months. A reduction of more than $400,000 from the town highway department’s budget drew criticism from Highway Superintendent William Naughton. He accused the town of pulling the money to plug other financial holes while depriving him of staff and funding needed to do his job. “I think that [Supervisor] Frank [Petrone] is so deep in debt or whatever potential of debt… keep this money to keep their bond rating from being reduced,” Naughton said. “The whole thing… a bunch of kids wouldn’t do something that stupid.” Councilwoman Susan Berland offered a far less nefarious explanation – the highway department savings are attributable to high-salaried individuals retiring and

Charity Keeps Son’s Memory Alive Melville family’s nonprofit raises funds, sponsors family fun days for sick children By Alessandra Malito amalito@longislandernews.com

Even years after their son died of brain cancer, the Gaynes family from Melville has made it their mission to help other children in need through their nonprofit organization, Chillin’ With Adam. The group started in 2005, a year after Adam Gaynes, 11, died, and looks to make “the kids’ experiences a little easier in the hospital,” said David Gaynes, father and co-founder of the nonprofit. “Our son Adam was very strong and we fought for 11 years because he wanted to live. We felt the best way to honor him would be to start a nonprofit and make their lives a bit easier,” David said. “It’s a devastating thing for the whole family. Not a lot of money goes to research, so it’s still challenging families.”

— DAVID GAYNES The Gaynes family raises between $200,000 and $250,000 per year, and gives the money to those who need it.

“We want to continue to honor his memory. It doesn’t take a lot. Every dollar counts. Adam had a really infectious personality and he continues to make a difference one difference at a time.”

David and his wife, Arlene, raise money and use the funds to do family fun days and work with hospitals. They recently took children from Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx to Rye Playland, an annual event that happens in June. The family also works with Brookdale Hospital and NYU Hospital. The Gaynes family raises the money through two major events – a soiree scheduled for Aug. 4 at the Swan Club in Glen Landing, N.Y. and a bar night in the city planned for the fall. The soiree, which will be celebrating its fifth year, makes between $150,000 and $200,000 per year, and they hope to continue making the same amount. “The rest [of the donations] are throughout the year,” David said. “We’ve had schools do car washes for us.” All the money raised goes to charity. Since the beginning, the family has raised around $950,000. “Every dollar raised goes to charity, but we also have a fund that disperses money,” David said. “We’ve done all types of things. If it’s reasonable, we do it.” All this, they do this in honor of Adam, through the nonprofit organization and the fund in his name. “We want to continue to honor his memory. It doesn’t take a lot. Every dollar counts,” David said. “Adam had a really infectious personality and he continues to make a difference one difference at a time.” For more information, visit www.chillinwithadam.org.

This BMW sedan rolled over several times while traveling eastbound on the South Service Road of the LIE. By Kaellen Hessel info@longislandernews.com

A BMW sedan rolled over multiple times, injuring the male driver June 19. After several rolls, the car landed right-side-up on the eastbound South Service Road of the Long Island Expressway, west of Half Hollow Road, according to fire officials.

The driver was put into a neck brace and carried away from the scene on a stretcher. He was taken to Huntington Hospital by the Melville Rescue Squad. Melville Fire Chief Robert Warren said he speculated the driver lost control of his car, but he was unsure of the details of how the accident occurred. Warren said the accident was not weather related.

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

Vietnam Wall To Stop In Town

Is your Pool Ready for Summer?

By Alessandra Malito amalito@longislandernews.com

Community members will soon get the chance to experience a Washington D.C. memorial without even leaving Huntington this fall. The Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall, a three-quarter-scaled replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. that has been touring the nation since 1984, will be coming to Huntington in October. “It’s in very high demand,” said Councilman Mark Cuthbertson, who has been working to secure the wall’s trip to Huntington for two years now. The 240-foot wall, which has 58,000 names written on it, is known to have a large audience turn out to view it. “In other towns, it’s gotten up to 35,000 visitors in a three-day weekend,” Cuthbertson said. “We’re optimistic that it will be as well-received here as the most popular places before.” The councilman feels the wall memorial will be a great experience for community members in the town. “We have a very large veterans population and I think the wall would be very much appreciated by them and the Huntington community at large,” he said. “It’s important to Vietnam vets in particular, who returned from service and were the subject of scorn. It’s really important to recognize their service and give them their dues.” The wall, which will stand at Peter Nelson Park in South Huntington, is expected to arrive from Staten Island

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Real Issues Or Just Stunts? DEAR EDITOR: I would like to offer my perspective with regards to AvalonBay’s proposed development in Huntington Station and the current debate happening within our community about it, both online on two Facebook sites (Say No to Avalon Bay and Parents of Huntington), as well as what is printed in the newspapers and what is said at town board meetings. When I learned that a rally was being planned to march at Town Hall recently, I got on Facebook to find out why and was told that “corruption” was taking place in Town Hall with regards to the day the vote would occur on AvalonBay. Myself and another poster pointed out that the resolution was for “up to 90 days” and besides, how could one assume that the vote was going to take place on Sept. 5 when it was a Sunday? They chose to ignore these facts and proceeded with the march anyway. So I had to ask myself why and came to the conclusion that politics must have been the true motive! (Read: an antidemocratic political tactic.) As I continued to post on Facebook, I got attacked (read: political tactics on a community activist) whenever I offered facts about the AvalonBay project and other information, like that the MTA had identified the

piece of land for use as a rail yard. These facts can be found at www.mta.info/mta/planning/portj/index.html (click Huntington to Greenlawn) as well as under the East Side Access documents at www.mta.info/capconstr/esas/ (see pages S7 and S15 of the FEIS project document). I live in Huntington Station in Highview, an affordable housing complex, that is located right across the street from the Huntington train station. So I am a YIMBY for Avalon as I prefer that project to be built on that piece of land rather than taking a chance that a rail yard could end up there. In addition, I see many benefits to the Avalon project that will move the community forward with revitalization, but I won’t focus on those here. I have been actively involved with the revitalization efforts of Huntington Station since 2003 when I joined with the folks from Huntington Country Farms to fight the proposed rail yard when it was first presented to the community. Since then, my involvement in Huntington Station issues has included serving as a chartered member of a civic group called Friends of Huntington Train Station. We worked with the LIRR to renovate the interior of the station for its Centennial which occurred in 2009. We have also been the catalyst to get the town to address the improvements needed at the two parking garages (signs are post-

ed there now showing that Federal Stimulus dollars were applied for to make this happen). Our group’s mission is to continue to improve the station. So I would just like to clear up one other piece of inaccurate piece of information going around, and that is that we accepted a $75,000 bribe to change our minds about Avalon. AvalonBay shares our mission to improve the aesthetics of the station, since the residents of its housing complex will be living near the station and using it as commuters. So Friends of Huntington Train Station has never opposed Avalon and I was not involved in any negotiations of what occurred between the Town of Huntington and Avalon to channel funds for the landscaping improvements that our group is still pushing for. The town leases the land from the MTA and that is why it falls to the town to fund these improvements and not the MTA. Another initiative that I am a charted member of is the formation of the Lost Neighborhood Committee. We recently served on the panel for the Historical Society’s opening reception for “From House Calls to Hospitals” which featured Dr. Samuel Teich’s office located in Huntington Station at 1090 New York Ave. At that event, we announced the launch of our website, www.portraitofalostneighborhood.org/index.html, and the fact that we are now working with the history teachers of

School District #3 to bring “local history” projects to the students to learn more about the Huntington Station community where their schools are located. So just to be clear, my present role in this Avalon debate is to ensure that facts and the merits of the project are being put forth for Town of Huntington residents to make up their own minds about where they stand on the issue, and to keep the politics out of it.

Sinful Self-Promotion DEAR EDITOR: In my mailbox [yesterday] I received a four-page, four-color glossy mailer from Congressman Steve Israel entitled “Having troubles making ends meet.” It was “prepared published and mailed at taxpayer expense.” This was a blatant political mailer with no substance and no benefit to the taxpayer. It was a self-promotion of an incumbent who wants to get re-elected

Correction The June 3 article, “Huntington Gets Its Close-Up,” incorrectly identified Bunny Hoest as the creator of “The Lockhorns” comic strip. Her late husband, Bill Hoest, is the creator, and she inherited rights to the strip when he died in November 1988. She continues to produce the strip in her Lloyd Neck home with artist John Reiner.

at the taxpayers’ expense. Isn’t it the current Congress that is wasting our tax dollars and isn’t that why the middle class is having trouble making ends meet? Congressman Israel in this mailer is not “working to help Long Island families” with this expensive mailer. He is only introducing us to his Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts, at taxpayer expense. Why doesn’t he use his enormous campaign account for this type of self-promotion? I am again convinced that we need to rid ourselves of career politicians like Mr. Israel, who have no problem using our hardearned money while we are “having trouble making ends meet” to promote themselves and their self-serving future financial security at taxpayer expense. In the mailer it states that “Congressman Steve Israel is working to help Long Island families” but what this mailer is really doing is working to help Steve Israel get re-elected.

‘7 Keys To Love’ For Changing The World Arts administrator to honor community members, promote book on healthy relationships By Alessandra Malito amalitol@longislandernews.com

Ever wonder about the multiple forms of love? Question yourself and others and the relationships you share with each of them? Sandy Hinden, executive director of the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center at Five Towns College, has written a book that describes seven types of love, from physical love to spiritual love and everything in between, to answer the questions you may have – just like he did. He is promoting his “7 Keys to Love” at Book Revue tonight. For over 30 years Hinden, also the president of the Long Island Men’s Center, has been writing and rewriting this book to make it what it is now. “I first started writing the book about 30 years ago,” he said. “I wanted to understand more about love myself and I was really trying to understand the many facets of love. I was very confused about love so I wanted to understand all the aspects of it.” He proceeded to look through hundreds of books and came up with 800 pages of quotes about love from different aspects. At that time, he had to use construction paper and ended up grouping them together in different sections – self love, emotional love, physical love, family love, platonic/altruistic/community love, creative love (or love for arts and creativity) and universal/spiritual love. “We all want love and all need love, and we need to first begin to love ourselves and develop our self love and self esteem and develop communication so we can have rela-

That sort of love helps to create family love, which then helps sustain communities, and as he said, “can help the whole world, like nature, and help the world become more sustainable.”

“That requires us to be more kindhearted and generous,” he added. Along with his book, Hinden also wants to create a program called the “Beloved Community,” based on a quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. The program would host an event to honor people who have shown love in their community. This year, multiple people including Long Island Men’s Center Vice President and Pastor Thomas Humphrey and concert pianist Judith Alstadter will be honored. In the future, he would like to hold similar events around the country. “A dream would be to do this type of event in other places around the country and help them create their own beloved community so they can do wonderful things with their local area,” he said. Aside from the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center and the Long Island Men’s Center, Hinden has worked with the United Nations, where he worked on children’s gardens and peace museums. “By doing that, I saw the power of doing love,” he said. “People should believe they have more power to bring more love to their life and their friends and family and community, and to love the arts and nature and to love humanity and the whole world. If they can believe they have the power to do that, it’d make a difference. They should learn the skills and knowledge to bring more love to their lives and to others and the whole world.” The Beloved Community ceremony and a book-signing party will begin at 7 p.m. on June 24 at Book Revue, located at 313 New York Ave. in Huntington.

NORTHPORT

Festival To Feature Live Painting Renowned musicians and artists present works at Plein Air Music Festival as neighbors By Kaellen Hessel info@longislandernews.com

Music and art are bountiful in New York City, but there’s no need to spend $20 on a train ticket when you can find world-class artists just down the street ready to share their work for free. That’s what organizers of the Plein Air Classical Music Festival, sponsored by the Northport Arts Coalition, hope to show residents. “We want to foster the long and rich art history Northport has,” said Christine Darch, music festival coordinator. That history includes beatnik writer Jack Kerouac, who drank at a Northport bar, and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who finished writing “The Little Prince” in Northport. The Plein Air Painting Event begins Friday, with painters spread out along the village green by Northport Harbor and Main Street from 10 a.m. to dusk. Painters will finish their works the following day by 5 p.m. The festival concludes Sunday with a reception from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and silent auction for the paintings at La Mantia Gallery, located at 127 Main Street in Northport. One painting will be awarded “Best in Show” by gallery owners. Painters will work rain or shine, huddling under umbrellas or awnings if need be. Artists are usually known to be recluses hiding out in their studios, said Anthony Davis, Plein Air coordinator. Many only get to see these artists’ finished works and not the emotional process of painting. With this event, they can see Long Island artists create masterpieces while making mistakes along the way, he said.

“They’re putting their hearts on the line here,” he said. All of the painters are willing to expose attendees to this personal process, talking with onlookers while they create. “It’s easy to be a studio painter where you can fix mistakes,” Davis said. “Plein air painters don’t have that liberty.” During the second day of the Plein Air Festival on Saturday, the Classical Music Festival begins by allowing people looking over painters’ shoulders to listen to worldclass music in the background. Attendees are encouraged by the Northport Arts Coalition to bring blankets, chairs and picnic baskets, and spread out by the Northport Village Park Gazebo. The music festival runs from 12:30-4 p.m., weather permitting, with Ron and Julie Meixsell singing opera at 12:30 p.m., Rey Burns’ Crossroad fusing classical music and jazz at 1 p.m., the Matthew Pierce Ensemble performing New American classical music at 2 p.m. and Bassam Saba and The New York Arabic Orchestra performing classical Arabic music. “They’re world-class musicians and they’re your neighbors,” Darch said. You might see them at the grocery store one day and the next week they’re playing at Carnegie Hall, she added. These highly trained professionals are giving their time to share their talent with their neighbors, said Matthew Pierce, music director and event performer. Pierce, who helped pick the musicians, said it would be easy to put together a music festival, pulling in musicians from the city, but there’s no need. “You can just step outside your door and find out there’s a great violinist next door,” he said. “There’s more than

Long Island painters will continue memorializing Northport and its harbor at the Plein Air Classical Music Festival, just as artist Matt Mahurin did at a previous festival.

Triangle Equities has been committed to excellence and integrity in the real estate sector for close to 30 years. The company continually develops and expertly manages a diverse portfolio that bene its its tenants and, most importantly, the communities in which its developments are located. Here in Huntington, Triangle is committed to providing residents with much-needed housing alternatives with Kensington Estates. Kensington is a proposed 80-unit, 55 and-over, luxury townhouse community featuring tennis courts, a pool, a club house and other amenities. This proposed development will give empty nesters the chance to downsize, stay in their home community and remain close to their families. At a recent public hearing, Kensington received overwhelming support from the Huntington community. Over 450 letters of support from local Huntington residents, a petition of support from the neighbors adjacent to the site, several hundred names of support from a social networking site and numerous speakers, all verifying the need for such a community and demonstrating the positive response to Kensington. This hearing demonstrated one of Triangle Equities key trademarks in that they endeavor to collaborate closely with community leaders and their neighbors. The company is skilled at identifying needs in emerging and underserved markets and ful illing those key community needs with both public and private amenities.

Putting Collectors Over The Moon Collectors shop offers something for everyone with sports memorabilia, gifts, chocolates Half Hollow Hills photos/Sara-Megan Walsh

Spotlight On

Huntington Businesses By Sara-Megan Walsh swalsh@longislandernews.com

Window shoppers can find a variety of stores to peruse in Huntington village, but few offer the eclectic mix of Cow Over the Moon. Owner Joe Dennett opened shop on Main Street offering a unique mix of sports memorabilia, gifts, decorative accessories, timeworks clocks, fine chocolates and gift baskets approximately six years ago. “My idea is, I wanted a store that was interesting to men, women and children. I wanted a family to walk in and everyone have something to be interested in,” he said. Dennett used his retirement from the refrigeration industry as an opportunity to combine his three passions – collecting sports memorabilia and antiques, and his sweet tooth – to form Cow Over The Moon. The storefront’s name is a tribute to his wife’s love for collecting cow keepsakes in various forms, giving birth to the store’s wide selection for collectors of all kinds, particularly sports memorabilia. “A lot of people call the store a little bit of Cooperstown here in Huntington, because they have seen our collection

Baseball fans can find almost any trading card in existence, from retired hall of famers to the hottest rookies, framed jerseys, autographed black-and-white photos of the classics and a display case of signed baseballs. Each item sold undergoes a strict authenticity verification process, the owner said. Don’t worry, if reliving diamond days isn’t for you – football, basketball, hockey, tennis and golf are also part of the store’s mix. “Sports is a big part of our social net-

work in this country,” Dennett said. “Even if you’re not a sports fan, I see people who would never buy a sports item go back [in the store] because there’s history back there.” Dennett said one of his favorite things about running Cow Over the Moon is talking with customers about their own sports experiences and memories when he does custom sports framing, or sharing stories of the greats while looking over the store’s collection. “When a kid comes into the store, it’s a learning experience. It’s a chance for them to learn how to keep a sports card,

Owner Joel Dennett took his love for sports memorabilia and combined it in retirement with other collectible gift items to open Cow Over The Moon. how to touch and handle a sports card, and learn about old-time hall of famers,” the retiree said, as his collection started with his two sons forming a lifelong bond between them. For those not interested in sports, Cow Over the Moon carries a few antiques and now offers gift items for all occasions, including Timeworks clocks, Bearington bears, artisan wine glasses, coffee mugs, snowglobes, candles and more. The selection is ever changing. Yet, if you just need a sweet treat, fine chocolates and candies beckon from the display case and from glass jars in a 1860s drugstore cabinet – the perfect fix to put anyone over the moon.

HISTORY

Whitman’s Meteor Finally Discovered Texas State University astronomers uncover poet’s references in Leaves of Grass By Kristen Catania info@longislandernews.com

The mysterious meteor Walt Whitman described 150 years ago in Leaves of Grass has finally been solved, thanks to a team of astronomers at Texas State University. The team – comprised of Texas State physics professors Donald Olson and Russell Doescher, English professor Marilynn S. Olson, and honors student Ava G. Pope – suspected that what Whitman described as a “strange huge meteor procession” was something more than just a single comet or meteor. For years, astronomers have attributed what Whitman saw to Leonid meteor showers in 1833, 1858 or to a fireball that occurred in 1859. However, the time frame Whitman references in his poem “Year of the Meteors (1859-1860)” does not match up with any of these events. Olson and his team were determined to find the event Whitman witnessed. “This phenomenon, the meteor procession described by Whitman, is something that I have been working on for more than a decade,” Olson said. “Back in 1994, I started teaching an honors course called ‘Astronomy in Art, History and Literature.’ While putting together material for those class meetings, it became clear that Walt Whitman was a very rich source for descriptions of the sky that were not just beautifully written but were also unusual-

This Frederic Church painting that records the meteor procession that Whitman references in Leaves of Grass. ly specific and detailed.” Whitman’s attention to detail led Olson and his team to attempt to find what specifically the poet had witnessed. The breakthrough occurred, according to Olson, when he discovered a reproduction of a Frederic Church painting on the back of a catalogue. At that time, it became clear to Olson that both Church and Whitman along with thousands of other eyewitnesses throughout the northeastern U.S., had witnessed the same phenomenon – occurring on July 20, 1860.

“This is the 150th anniversary of the event that inspired both Whitman and Church,” Olson said. “It was an Earthgrazing meteor procession.” A meteor procession, according to the team’s report of findings in Sky and Telescope magazine, occurs when “an Earth-grazing meteor fragments early in its encounter with the atmosphere, creating multiple meteors traveling in nearly identical paths.” This occurrence is fairly rare, and has occurred just three times other than the event Whitman and

Many thought the Leonid meteor shower of 1833 was the event Whitman described. However, the Texas State team discovered that this was not what Whitman was referencing in “Year of the Meteors.” Church witnessed. Whitman also referenced the Great Comet of 1860, providing further evidence that the event witnessed was the 1860 meteor procession.

Down Under Visitors Come Up To LI New Zealanders travel across Suffolk, Nassau seeing the sights and making new friends

Members of the Long Island Friendship Force Club and the New Zealand club listen to a tour guide tell them about the history of Oheka Castle in Huntington. By Kaellen Hessel info@longislandernews.com

New Zealanders spent the past week island hopping all over metropolitan New York – including across Huntington. The group of 26 traveled to Long Island as part of a Friendship Force International home-stay exchange program.

Barry Bridges, of Marlborough, New Zealand, shows off his fun-loving nature as he dances with a friend in the Oheka ballroom.

Friendship Force is an organization made up of 346 clubs in 59 countries that tries to encourage peace by promoting cultural understanding and global friendships. The visitors from Marlborough, New Zealand were hosted and entertained by 40 members of the Long Island Friendship Force club, many of whom live in Huntington. They visited Oheka Castle in Cold Spring Harbor, New York City landmarks, the Nassau County Art Museum in Roslyn, the West Hamptons, Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay and Baycrest Beach in Huntington. As they toured the house and grounds of Oheka Castle, one of the New Zealanders was awed by how much history there was on Long Island. New Zealand, which has only been a country for less than 200 years, doesn’t have nearly as much, she said. Barry Bridges, the New Zealand exchange director, said the best part of traveling with Friendship Force was meeting and living with local people. “That’s something we as tourists would never see,” he said. Eli Bluestone, Bridges’ host from Huntington, echoed his sentiments. “It’s faces, not places,” Bluestone said. Bonne Gettinger, of Huntington Bay, has only been a club member for two years and hasn’t traveled abroad with the Long Island club, but enjoys spending time with their international visitors. “I think it’s always interesting to ex-

Twenty-six New Zealanders visited Huntington from June 10-17 and learned all about its history as part of the Gold Coast during the Roaring ‘20s. change ideas and learn about other cultures,” Gettinger said. The Long Islanders were entertained by the phrases their visitors used, like “shrimp on the Barbie,” while one of the things that surprised Bridges about Long Island was its high population density and traffic. New Zealand doesn’t have traffic like this, he said. “We haven’t even taken them out during rush hour,” exclaimed host Emma Bluestone. Mike Harris, a former “panelbreaker,” or automotive mechanic, noticed a big part of his life was the same in America

as his own country. Harris, who owned an automotive shop, visited one on Long Island and said the equipment used there was the same as he used. The Long Island club is always welcoming newcomers, and the trips are quite reasonably priced, Emma said. Members have to pay a couple hundred dollars to the international organization and the host club and then pay for their airfare. Members don’t have to travel; they can just host guests and attend other cultural events with the group, she said. Anyone interested in joining can call Emma at 516-367-4208.

Tips For Going Green Add a little green to your kitchen and spice to your cooking by growing an indoor herb garden. All that’s needed are herb plants, pots, soil-less potting mix, fertilizer that can be used for edible plants and a windowsill for the plants to sit on. A south window that gets at least five hours of sunlight a day is ideal. The Sierra Club, a national environ-

mental organization, recommends beginner gardeners grow basil, sage, thyme, parsley and oregano. Using your herbs often is best, never trimming more than a third of the foliage. In addition, snipping plants often causes them to grow fuller, according to about.com’s gardening guide. — HESSEL

45th Summer Arts Fest Kicks Off June 26 A summer of music, arts and more set to begin with the music of blues-rock artist G.E. Smith By Kristen Catania info@longislandernews.com

The Huntington Summer Arts Festival is back for its 45th year, bringing 44 evenings of free performances to the Chapin Rainbow Stage in Heckscher Park. The festival runs from June 26-Aug. 15, with an event occurring almost every night of the week. It seems to have something for everyone, with a variety of performers making their way to the Heckscher stage at 8:30 p.m. throughout the week. John Chicherio took the helm as the new performing arts director for the Huntington Arts Council and is optimistic about this year’s festival. “This year, our lineup includes a wide range of performances, from puppets to world-class dance to silent film,” he said. “For our 45th anniversary, we are especially pleased to present some of the greats; from the blues/jazz world: the legendary Heath Brothers Quartet, featuring two National Endowment for the Arts jazz masters, along with our final act, the James Cotton ‘Superharp’ Band, and Guy Davis and the High Flying Rockets.” The festival will kick off this Saturday with a performance by G.E. Smith, a blues/rock guitarist known best for his stint fronting the Saturday Night Live band. His performance is the perfect way to jump-start the festival, giving everybody a fun and exciting taste of what is to come this summer. On Sunday, The Revelations, featuring Tré Williams, will take the stage at Heckscher, bringing the “concrete jungle grit of the streets” and the “midnight

On Tuesday nights, Bethpage Federal Credit Union brings “It’s Showtime” family performances to the park, providing an evening of fun for all ages. These special shows begin at 7:30 p.m. On June 29, Plaza theatrical presents “Sleeping Beauty” as the first family performance of the summer. This classic tale about a beautiful princess and true love is guaranteed to delight viewers of all ages. People are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets to sit on while enjoying the performances. On Wednesday, the Huntington

Community Band opens their 65th season with “American Masters.” This performance is a compilation of music by Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Barber and more. The band, which strives to “continue bringing the highest quality of concert band music to its community,” is sure to wow audience members of all ages, and of all musical backgrounds. “We have something for every taste, and we are very pleased to welcome as our presenting sponsor the Bethpage Federal Credit Union,” Chicherio said. “It is a real benefit to both the culture and economy of the area to be able to offer 44 evenings of free performances of world-

These performances take place at 8:30 p.m. on Thursdays in July.

SMALL BUSINESS MARKETING

Simple Basics Build A Strong Foundation Small Business Marketing With Mike DeLuise They call it marketing. For our purposes, let’s consider it the magic formula that instills energy and productivity in your business. It goes far beyond the fancy logo design you hang over your door and place on your business cards. Your website, the advertisements you place in the media, and even the fancy experiments with social media are not as important as the simple basics of marketing needed to build a strong foundation for your business. Why are some companies more successful than those they compete with? And why do the owners of so many businesses refuse to learn from their own mistakes? The rules of marketing success are simple, but that doesn't mean they are always easily followed. In business and in life, we are often drawn to the promise of instant, easy success. Wise business owners cannot allow the “hot topic” of the season to distract them

toward ineffective programs that do not deliver positive results. Twitter and Facebook are not the answers for everyone. Each business has its own unique strengths, weaknesses and needs. The secret to any magician’s act is that there is really no such thing as magic. My friend and former client David Copperfield may be the most popular magician of our time. As extravagant as his “tricks” appear to be, this master performer has focused his success on the basics. Yes, he works very hard – but by focusing on the basics. He maintains a simple formula that has resulted in a monumental career by delivering the product his audience appreciates and buys. So how does this relate to your business? Whatever business you’re in, chances are you feel you know your business well. You may own a restaurant and have hired a terrific chef, built a state-of-theart kitchen and put together a fine menu. You have purchased excellent produce at a good price. When you started your business, you were filled with excitement and confidence. You were hopeful that customers would flock to you because you uniquely would serve what they crave in a meal. Before opening the doors to your new restaurant, chances are you spent countless hours dreaming about the name, designing the

logo in your head and planning the menu your heart told you will draw frequent and loyal customers. This is the way most businesses begin. Whether we are talking about a restaurant, a regional bank or a global telecommunications company, every business starts with a dream created by one or more entrepreneurs. It's just like the creation of a universe. A spark of energy ignites something special that hopefully will turn into a profitable business. Those companies that understand how to utilize the “magic” found in the formula for basic marketing are businesses that will live long into the future. If you're looking to build a solid business, you cannot allow yourself to be tricked by the illusion of easy marketing solutions. The successful companies I have worked with over the years understand that good marketing is built into and nurtured throughout the culture of the organization. A smart restaurateur does not open an establishment just because there is a building available. He explores the interests of the community. He researches the success and challenges of his competition. He plans for parking, accessibility and any local codes that may help or hinder his business. A successful business owner dedicates more energy toward recruiting and training a strong team of colleagues rather than wasting time

deciding what color the menu will be. The secret to marketing success is simple. A company dedicating countless dollars to an extravagant advertising campaign has wasted it all if, when a customer calls, the person answering the phone is not responsive. No business is perfect. We all make mistakes. Sometimes we misjudge our market. At times, we lose track of our business plan. We experiment in technologies that move us too quickly into new areas we do not fully understand. Those companies with a corporate culture that encourages them to learn from mistakes, quickly accept the challenge of new opportunities, and focus on filling the needs of their customers understand the true magic of strong marketing. The key to success may not be easy, but it can be simple. Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to help you succeed. You can always e-mail me at mdeluise@aol.com.

Editor’s note: Michael DeLuise has spent four decades managing the marketing, advertising and communications for some of the most interesting clients in entertainment, education, media and nonprofit. He currently serves as president of the board of directors of the Melville-East Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce.

Avalon vote moved (Continued from page A4)

take for Huntington,” was one of several residents who pushed the town to hold the vote until September so residents could get a handle on it. “The facts continue to change. It’s called a transportation district… but it’s a half-mile walk to the railroad station at its closest point,” he said. “On July 6, most of us will be on vacation… it’ll be tough for them to get here,” he said. “I recommend we move it back to September so we can all be here and discuss it and come up with a reasonable solution.” Ilene Fucci said she has laid low in advocating against Avalon because she said she wanted to be fully informed before she spoke out and hoped the community could build a consensus on Avalon. “There are a lot of incensed citizens in Huntington Station. We want to have the time to vet this properly; we want to start doing things differently in Huntington Station,” she said. “If I’m confused [on when the vote is], it’s because I sincerely believe you tried to confuse me… there are hundreds and hundreds of Huntington Station resi-

dents who are confused as well.” Petrone argued the public has had ample time to conduct research since March – and also ample time to voice their concerns. “I don’t think it takes that much time to get the facts. You had a public hearing where you had 54 people turn out [to speak],” he said last Wednesday. “I think people have had their opportunity; they had it [June 15] and they’ll have it again. Whether it’s three weeks or two months, I don’t think it really makes a difference.” Members of the Long Island Progressive Coalition’s pro-AvalonBay YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) program AvalonBay project were planning to attend Tuesday’s meeting, but decided to hold back when they learned the vote had been pulled from the agenda. They will be back for July 6, though. “We made our comment on the project in March,” Long Island Progressive Coalition community organizer Maritza Silva-Farrell said. “One-hundred-fifty people came out, said yes in my backyard and spoke out in favor of the project… the reality is, many people are in favor of this project.”

Before Frank Altenord, of Dix Hills, brought tents to families in Haiti, they were seeking shelter from makeshift tents of towels and sheets like the one above. (Continued from page A1)

His goal is to plant 5,000 trees, and hopes the community can help as much as they did last time. “While we know that you may not be able to go to Haiti with us, you can still be part of this project. By sending your gift

of one tent to distribute to one homeless family, our hands and feet will be an extension of your hands and feet in Haiti,” he wrote in his letter. For more information, call Altenord at 347-385-7938.

Town finally pays some temporary workers (Continued from page A1)

approve payment for the men and used the floor to accuse the town of wasting money through legal wrangling. “This resolution is a settlement mandated by the courts,” Mayoka said. “I would prefer that cases are settled out of court as to save the residents money for paying legal fees. I would have liked to see

this negotiated in-house with the vast number of in-house attorneys that are available.” Mandated, sure, but not by the courts, said Cuthbertson, who audibly scoffed as Mayoka made his statement prior to the vote. The Department of Labor ordered the town to make the payment. “It was absurd,” Cuthbertson said. “My

colleague is kind of making things up as he goes along up there.” Mayoka later argued that the order came from the Department of Labor and conceded he may have misspoken on the dais, but defended his statement’s validity. “In generalities, it’s a type of a determining body, so you can still call it ‘court,’” he said.

Naughton and Hennessey are pleased about the men receiving back pay, but a union grievance against the town is still active. As nonpermanent employees, the workers do not qualify for benefits afforded to full-time staff, Naughton said. “I hope the resolution is they’ll be able to get a full-time position,” Hennessey said.
