DIX HILLS

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

Residents are squaring off with a pair of business owners who want to build a senior center with 166 apartments on Deer Park Avenue in Dix Hills, a proposal that requires zone changes some residents have said could be “precedent setting.” Anthony Natale and Mark Palumbo, owners of Island Design and Garden Country Nursery, defended against residents’ claims, saying they believe the proposal could improve the community and reduce commercial activity in the area. “We’re not adding to the school districts because seniors don’t go to grammar schools,”

said Natale, adding that the proposal could bring in an estimated $700,000 in property taxes, with 60 percent going to the school district. “You have to remember that this is a residential use, this is not a commercial use.” Natale and Palumbo jointly own the lot at 482 Deer Park Ave., which is currently zoned residential, and which is currently occupied by Island Design, Garden Country Nursery and a tenant, Bella Casa Floral Design. Natale said the businessmen would lease their property to Brightview Senior Living, which operate senior centers across the east coast.

Uncle Giuseppe’s Coming To Melville By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

A deal has been struck to bring an Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace to the former Waldbaum's location in the Melville Mall, which has remained without a tenant since the former supermarket closed last year. “The community really has been so supportive and excited to see us come there. I know that they were looking for something to come in this spot,” said Johanna Zucaro, marketing manager for Uncle Giuseppe’s. She explained that the location at 834 Walt Whitman Road is (Continued on page A19)

The former Waldbaum’s in Melville Mall, which has been vacant since the store closed last year, is expected to become the sixth Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace location on Long Island, with a summer 2017 opening targeted.

MELVILLE

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

Dozens of small business owners converged at the Canon U.S.A. corporate headquarters in Melville last Thursday to glean some business tips from experts with the SCORE Foundation, a business mentoring organization. Among the attendees was Judy Wieber, founder and chief executive officer of Greenlawn-based Science Mobility, a mobile technology application publisher. Wieber often works out of the Huntington Launchpad on Main Street in the village. The company has recently created an app called Communicavi, which automatically sends text messages in response to certain triggers, which include the date and GPS location. “The original goal was to try to curtail texting while driving,” she said. “I noticed that that’s a very bad problem, and there seems to be no way to turn people’s texting off like there is to do with an auto response with email.” Wieber has also worked previously at the Cold Spring Laboratory as a science librarian and grant writer. “Somehow texting is much more addictive and people aren't able to turn it off,” she said. “This is an attempt at a solution to that.” Wieber was one of the business owners who attended the event at Canon, and who were able to receive on-the-spot mentoring sessions with SCORE mentors.

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

Former Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi won last week’s Democratic primary, edging out four other candidates hoping to replace Rep. Steve Israel in the 3rd Congressional District, which includes most of the Huntington township. Suozzi will face State Senator Jack Martins (R-Mineola) in November. In a statement emailed June 29, Suozzi said he looks forward to meeting with voters to “come up with solid solutions” to issues facing constituents in the district, which cuts along the north shore of Long Island from northeast Queens through North Hempstead and Oyster Bay, and east to Huntington and Smithtown. "I am so grateful and appreciative to the voters of the 3rd Congressional District for supporting me in the Democratic primary,” Suozzi said. “It is clear the people in the district are looking for someone who has the ability to cut through the blamegame, finger-pointing and yelling that's coming out of Washington these days.” Suozzi emerged from a field that consisted of candidates including Suffolk Legislator Steve Stern (DDix Hills). After the polls closed, Stern supporters converged at IMC restaurant in Huntington village to watch the results come in. It was coming up on 11 p.m. when Stern entered the restaurant. Impeccably tailored and flashing his broad trademark smile, he delivered the talk supporters had been hoping they wouldn’t have to hear. “It was a tough race, a tight race with a lot of candidates who had their areas of strength, as we did,” Stern said, referencing his strong showing among Suffolk voters. Unofficial board of elections results show Stern with a near-1,000 point lead over Suozzi in Suffolk nearly 55 percent of the county total. Stern’s 2,540 votes and Suozzi’s 1,044 accounted for more than three quarters of the Suffolk ballots cast. But the Suffolk margin wasn’t enough to carry Stern past Suozzi’s plurality in Nassau where unofficial board of elections results show the former county executive took 3,977 votes to Stern’s 1,206. In Queens, Suozzi had the edge with 1,511 votes, to Stern’s 323, ac-

Stern thanked a long list of supporters and campaign workers, also acknowledging the help his campaign received from Steve Israel, whose announcement earlier this year that he would not seek a ninth term, sparked the crowded primary. And he pledged his own support to the winner. “I feel very strongly this seat needs to remain a Democratic seat,” he said. Earlier in the afternoon on June 28, 56-year-old Rocco Aloe, of Huntington village, cast his vote at Huntington Town Hall. He didn’t disclose his vote, but said he supports the candidate who will make mental health issues and drug abuse problems their top issues. “What do I look for in a candidate? Someone who’s credible… someone who’s going to be able to fight for the rights of the people,” said Aloe, a delivery driver for a small company. Laurie Everitt, 65, also of Huntington village, said she found herself to be the lone voter in the polling room when she cast her say. She said there was an especially-low turnout that day. “When I pulled up, I couldn’t tell it was Election Day,” she said. “I almost didn’t come, but I said to myself... I may end up being mad.” Peter Sloggatt contributed to this report.

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

2016 Hurricane Handbook Now Available Online By Fanchette Grunblatt info@longislandergroup.com

The Town of Huntington’s 2016 edition of the Hurricane Preparedness Handbook is now available in both print and electronic forms. The handbook, which comes with the start of hurricane season, June 1Nov. 30, is part of an initiative to encourage residents to be proactive, according to Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone. Petrone stated, “We want you – whether you are a resident or a business, an individual or a large family – to be ready for any weather emergency. Take the time now to read this booklet, follow its advice and make the preparations so that you, your family, your neighbors and your pets have the best chance of weathering the next storm.” Long Island is considered to be most at risk towards the later months, September or October. “Just because Long Island has been hurricane free since being dev-

astated by Super Storm Sandy four years ago, it does not mean this year will be, too,” Petrone states in his introductory message. “That is why, even as Sandy fades a little further into our memory, we still need to be prepared for the possibility that a similar storm could hit this year.” The town’s handbook is 16 pages in length. It details what should be included in a family’s hurricane response plan, an emergency supply checklist and suggested contents of a “Go Kit” in case of an evacuation and tips on pet safety. It also includes tips for business owners to be ensure they’re prepare in the event of a Hurricane. There are also online, telephone and electronic media links for obtaining additional information. The handbook can be accessed at Huntington Town Hall (100 Main St.), and at the town’s Senior Center (423 Park Ave.), or through the town fire marshal’s office. It can also be accessed via the town’s website, Huntingtonny.gov.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A False Choice Cutting down forests for solar is plain and simply wrong. It’s pitting the environment against the environment for no reason. The people of Long Island have approved at referendum more than $2 billion to protect open space and farmland. These are not appropriate sites for solar arrays. Solar belongs on rooftops, in parking lots and on previously cleared land. Destroying forests for solar is a false choice. Trees do

more than clean our air. They provide essential habitat for birds and animals. They provide recreational opportunities and a peaceful haven from suburban sprawl. They increase property values and improve the quality of our lives. Finally, public commitment to alternative energy is at risk, if solar arrays are sited in residential communities, on land that produces food or at the expense of Long Island’s diminishing woodlands.

NEWS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS IDA Keeps 500 Jobs Nassau’s Industrial Development Agency approved economic development compacts on June 28 that assist two local manufacturers to expand operations and retain 500 jobs in Nassau. Port Washington-based LIF Industries, a fire door manufacturer, will expand its operations and keep more than 300 jobs in Nassau that might have been moved out-of-state. Family-owned Slant/Fin Corp., America’s largest manufacturer of baseboard heating equipment and one of the top manufacturers of gas and water boilers, will spend $3 million to modernize its building and retain its unionized workforce of 229 in Greenvale. The company had considered relocating to Connecticut. Since 2010 under Nassau Executive Edward Mangano, more than 7,000 local jobs have been retained.

“Nassau County continues to lead the region with the lowest unemployment rate due to my economic development teams’ success in retaining local employers and attracting new companies and their jobs to our communities. The retention and growth of these two companies and their 500 jobs ensures residents continue to have local job opportunities and helps maintain the tax base for schools and other municipalities,” Mangano said. Nassau’s IDA consists of a team of professionals whose mission is to promote the economic welfare and prosperity of Nassau. It is a resource for businesses in Nassau, and those considering relocation. The IDA provides assistance to businesses interested in relocating, expanding and financing new investments.

Life&Style HISTORICAL SOCIETY

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

By Fanchette Grunblatt info@longislandergroup.com

A crowd of over 250 people gathered June 26 to remember Charles Oddo, an East Northport native and police officer who was killed while on duty 20 years ago, by renaming Verleye Park in his honor. Oddo, an officer with the New York Police Department, was killed on Feb. 17, 1996 after he was fatally struck by an SUV while re-routing traffic at an accident scene in Brooklyn. He was 33. As a child, Oddo lived within walking distance of, and often played at, the park on Verleye Avenue, which has been renamed to Charles A. Oddo Verleye Park by the Huntington Town Board following unanimous approval of a resolution sponsored by Councilman Eugene Cook. “Now, when a child walks into Verleye Park and asks, ‘Who is Charles Oddo?’ we can tell them the story of a brave, generous man who gave so much to his community and was taken from us far too young,” Cook said. Family, friends, neighbors, and former colleagues on the police force and at the fire department were present for the ceremony, including Oddo’s sister, Maria Oddo Forger. “Today, we gather together once more in the town he and I grew up in,

Park Dedicated To Cop Killed On Duty

In 1981, Oddo graduated from Elwood-John Glenn High School, and the next year he joined up with the Commack Fire Department, serving as a firefighter, paramedic and mechanic. Oddo became an officer in the footsteps of his father, who was a highway cop in Suffolk. In 1990, he joined the NYPD. He became a highway cop in 1995 when he was transferred to Brooklyn’s Highway Unit #2. Those who knew Oddo called him “chuckles” for his good nature and

perpetual smile. John Bicocchi, president of the Commack Fire Department, and fellow firefighters pushed for the park to be renamed in line with the 20-year anniversary of Oddo’s death. Bicocchi, who is also a retired NYPD sergeant, said Oddo has long been an example of what the Commack Fire Department hopes its members can be. In an interview, he said his breath was taken away when he heard the news of Oddo’s death. He said members of the Commack Fire Department were shocked and devastated by the loss. “He lived by a code of conduct, a work ethic instilled by his parents. He was a dedicated public servant, both at work and at home,” Bicocchi said. “We will be will be especially proud to pass this park and continue his legacy as best we can, bringing public safety and service to the community we serve.” Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone called Oddo a hero, a person of inspiration and a “person everyone liked.” “When he was lost, people came by.

Eric Stonestreet, one of television’s brightest comedy stars, is set to visit The Paramount in Huntington village on July 17 for an intimate and interactive evening. Most known for playing the role of Cameron Tucker on Emmy-winning series “Modern Family,” Stonestreet was also recently in the HBO Film “Confirmation,” and is currently in theaters as the voice of “Duke” in animated film “The Secret Life of Pets.” Stonestreet got his start in acting while studying to be a prison administrator at Kansas State University. His friend dared him to audition for “Prelude to a Kiss,” and he

did. Though he was cast as the smallest role in the play, he was “bitten by the bug.” After finishing his undergraduate studies, Stonestreet moved to Chicago to study and perform theatre and improv. Two years later the comedian headed to Los Angeles, continuing his career with roles in commercials, and on TV shows including “Dharma & Greg,” “Malcolm in the Middle” and “American Dad.” Stonestreet is most proud of the people he has met and the friends he’s made during his career, according to his website. The show at The Paramount, part of the venue’s comedy series, will include both stand-up and an “anything goes” Q&A incorporating showgoers. Doors are set to open at 7 p.m., and the show is slated for 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at Paramountny.com, or at the box office, for $29.50-$74.50.

FUNDRAISING

Save The Children Benefit Brings In $250K Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty recently helped the Long Island Council of Save the Children mount a tremendously successful fundraiser, which brought in close to $250,000. Daniel Gale Sotheby’s Deborah Hauser and Abby Sheeline, board members of Save the Children LI Council, co-chaired its spring benefit with the assistance of a Daniel Gale Sotheby’s sponsorship, and a team of volunteers, both from Daniel Gale Sotheby’s and the larger community. More than 300 supporters of the Save the Children Long Island Council came together at The Paramount in Huntington for “A Night at the Speakeasy,” raising funds through live and silent auction items. Guests were entertained throughout the evening by local bands Sands

Point and Run 4 Covers. “The Daniel Gale Sotheby’s organization rallied around the efforts of Abby and Deb, wholeheartedly lending their support and resources,” said Patricia J. Petersen, president and CEO of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s. “From hands-on volunteerism and generous donations of money and raffle prizes, it was a fabulous team effort.” Save the Children Long Island Council is a volunteer group committed to supporting the work of the national organization, whose mission is to give children in the United States and around the world a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.

Hospital-Sponsored Relay For Life Events Raise $321K By Lizzie Wilcox info@longislandergroup.com

Huntington Hospital joined forces with the community to raise awareness, and funds, for cancer research by sponsoring Relay for Life events at both Huntington Northport high schools, which raised a total of around $321,000. This was the first time the hospital sponsored the Northport event, which was hosted on June 4 and raised $178,000, but the third time it sponsored Huntington’s event, which was hosted June 11 and raised over $143,000. The hospital’s involvement in Huntington’s event stems from a partnership between the high school and the hospital established when the Gail Probst, the hospital’s director of cancer services, decided that she wanted to take its annual cancer survivorship dinner out into the community instead of being on the hospital grounds. Gerard Brogan Jr., M.D., executive director of Huntington Hospital, attended the Huntington High School Relay for Life. “In addition to taking care of patients when they’re sick battling cancer, we wanted to also participate more out in the community where they live, actually helping to celebrate those that battled this disease and are now survivors,” Brogan said. “That’s really what this is, a survivorship celebration, while also a

Huntington Hospital recently sponsored Relay for Life events at both Huntington High School and Northport High School. remembrance of those who have died from cancer.” At the event, Brogan spoke about the comprehensive cancer care that Huntington Hospital offers. Brogan described the cancer treatment process as “fractured” because many patients go into the city for

chemotherapy and to local hospitals for the side effects or other medical problems. With the new offices on Pulaski Road that have cancer surgeons, medical oncologists and other types of procedures, patients can get “world class cancer care” without being “pulled away from their

community hospitals, their doctors and their support network.” The two buildings opened just over a year ago and continue to expand. The addition on the second floor of one of the buildings is expected to be complete by the end of the calendar year, according to Brogan.

Health &Wellness Keep Your Smile Cool This Summer! By Dr. Inna Gellerman info@longislandergroup.com

Summertime is all about fun, and that includes freedom from school year routines and schedules. While you are busy having fun, don’t forget to take care of your smile. Sports: Athletes of all ages should remember to wear a mouth guard when playing sports. A custom-fit

mouth guard will protect your teeth, jaw any orthodontic appliance you may be wearing, and can lessen the impact of a blow to the head or neck. Don’t have one? Stop by our office and we’ll make one for you at no charge. Retainers: Summer is peak “lost retainer” season. It’s so much easier to forget a retainer when your schedule is topsy-turvy, when meals are on the run or on the road. Use your retainer case during meals, and never, ever put your retainer in a napkin or a tissue. If you lost your

The Migraine Minefield By David Dunaief, M.D info@longislandergroup.com

Migraines are debilitating. Symptoms typically include nausea, photophobia and phonophobia – sensitivity to light and sound, respectively. The corresponding headache usually is unilateral and has a throbbing or pulsating feeling. Migraines typically last from four to 72 hours. Then, there is a postdrome recovery period, when fatigue symptoms can dog a patient for 24 hours after original symptoms subside. Migraine is among the top reasons patients see a neurologist. According to the American Migraine Foundation, there are approximately 36 million migraine sufferers. Women are three times more likely to be affected than men, and the most common age range for migraine attacks is 30-50. What causes a migraine? The theory was once simple: Migraine was caused by vasodilation (blood vessel enlargement). However, this may only be a symptom. There are now other theories, such as inflammation of the meninges (brain and spinal cord membrane coverings). As one author commented, migraine is “massively common […], yet the recipient of relatively little attention for research, education, and clinical resources.” Potential triggers for migraines include stress, hormones, alcohol, diet, exercise, weather, odor, etc. What is done to treat migraines? For those who want to avoid traditional medicines, a feverfew-ginger

combination pill, an oil-based herbal supplement, showed promising results for those suffering from mild migraine prior to moderate to severe migraine onset. A sublingual preparation was the most beneficial. In this well-designed small, double-blind, placebocontrolled study, patients were ages 13-60 and suffered migraines from two to six times a month. Sixty-four percent of patients in the treatment group rated their symptoms as mild to no pain, compared to 39 percent of those in the placebo group. The side-effect profile was similar to placebo. The challenge is, if it doesn’t work, you may have lost your window to take traditional medications. Women who are pregnant should not take feverfew. Mild treatments for migraines include aspirin, Tylenol (acetaminophen) and NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), 1000 mg of acetaminophen reduced symptom intensity in episodic (occasional) and moderate migraine sufferers significantly more than placebo at the two-hour and six-hour marks. It also reduced nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and functional disability. However, this may not be effective for more intense migraines. In a Cochrane Database review (a meta-analysis of RCTs), ibuprofen 400 mg provided at least partial relief to migraine patients, though complete relief to relatively few. One of the most powerful and common treatments is triptans, which include Imitrex (sumatriptan), Zomig (zolmitriptan) and Relpax (eletriptan). These drugs stimulate a serotonin metabolite to vasoconstrict (nar(Continued on page A21)

retainer case, stop by the office for a spare. Brushing and flossing: Even if you are camping in the middle of a national park, don’t forget to brush, floss and rinse. Vacation packing should include toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash and if anyone in the family wears braces, dental wax. Children may need to be reminded a little more often about good brushing habits while on vacation. Stop by the office to get a travel size toothbrush, toothpaste and floss. Sweet treats: We all enjoy ices and ice cream and cold sweet drinks during summertime, but those sugary treats can cause cavity and white-spots causing bacteria in the mouth to flourish. Remember to brush after enjoying sweet desserts, and if you can’t brush, at least rinse your mouth with water. Keep hydrated: Warmer temperatures mean it’s extra important to make sure to drink enough water.

Six to eight glasses a day are usually recommended, but if you or your kids are active, add a few more glasses. And if you drink sports drinks, make sure to rinse your mouth afterwards. Most of them contain a good deal of sugars, which are not friendly to your dental enamel. Change it up: Changing your toothbrush every three months or at the change of every season is a good habit to get into at any time of year. No matter how clean you are, your toothbrush does accumulate germs over time, so it’s best to start fresh a few times during the year. If you’re passing by, stop by our office and pick up a replacement toothbrush. Dr. Inna Gellerman is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. She founded Gellerman Orthodontics, in Huntington, in 2003, and is actively involved with many community organizations.

The Foodies at Long Islander News aren’t necessarily the biggest breakfast connoisseurs. Our palettes, and our waking hours, typically veer us toward meals no earlier than lunch. But our tastes aren’t exactly the universal standard. So, we got ourselves up and out to take on some of the town’s more popular breakfast spots. For starters, in Huntington village there’s Toast and Munday’s, while Northport has Sweet Mama and newcomer, Cause Café. Each puts its own spin on the first meal of the day. Once a new kid on the block, Huntington’s Toast & Co. has transitioned into a seasoned breakfast Long Islander News photo/Andrew Wroblewski

veteran. Opening its doors at 62. Stewart Ave. back in 2007, Toast is the creation of the team at Reststar, the restaurant group founded by Fabio Machado, whose venues include Bistro Cassis, Café Buenos Aires and Bin 56, which is right next door. A chic space in earthy browns, orange and green, Toast has a retro diner feel. The menu, which sports plenty of comfort food, goes far beyond the blue plate specials of the classic American diner. Take the green eggs and ham ($10.95), for example. Two eggs, any style, are prepared alongside Canadian bacon, avocado mousse and chive oil. Then there are the ricotta lemon pancakes ($10.95), which are drizzled with warm chocolate ganache and hazelnuts. Toast also puts its own touch on its pancakes and waffles toast offerings. Try the bananas foster pancakes ($10.95) with a drizzle of banana walnut syrup, or the chocolate stuffed cannoli cream waffle ($10.95) with fresh strawberries and topped with whipped cream.

The Huntington institution has become a traditional stop for many village patrons with its range of morning wake-up calls, from the traditional eggs, toast and bacon, omelets, pancakes and French toast, to more adventurous takes on those traditions, like fruit pancakes. Heading out to Northport, pancakes, milkshakes and a sort oldfashioned, soothing, family-friendly vibe are the order of the day at Sweet Mama’s Good Kitchen (9 Alsace Place). Opened in 2005, Sweet Mama’s is known for great prices on breakfast staples like French toast, waffles, pancakes, eggs and more. If you’re not sure what to get, platters like the Big Daddy let Foodies try it all. Two eggs, two pancakes,

two slices of thin French toast, bacon, sausage and home fries are all included for $15.49. And don’t forget the magical bottomless coffee pot ($2.99), either. Cause Café (1014 Fort Salonga Road) is fresh on the breakfast scene. Opening in May, Cause Café provides job opportunities and training for young adults with autism and other cognitive or developmental disabilities. The café also has a full breakfast menu, including staples like the short stack of pancakes ($7.99) or pain perdu thick cut French toast ($9.99), along with a bakery sporting croissants, cookies, muffins, cupcakes and more. And, of course, there’s plenty of coffee, espresso, latte, tea, mocha, macchiato, hot chocolate and juices to wet the whistle.

FAMOUS TOASTERY: Two Long Island Carolina in 2005, and, since then, the

natives Robert Maynard and Brian Burchill are bringing their Famous Toastery breakfast restaurant franchise to Commack. Slated to open at the end of this year at the Mayfair Shopping Center on Jericho Turnpike, Burchill said heading back to Long Island means a lot to the pair from Centereach. After Burchill moved down to North Carolina, he wanted to open up a better breakfast concept and asked Maynard to help with the real estate. “We know that what we have is something that people haven’t seen from an execution perspective and from a fresh food perspective,” Maynard said, adding that the restaurant delivers quality ingredients made fresh. With prices ranging $8-$14, the café offers breakfast items like the avocado omelet and stuffed French toast, and lunch items like the New England lobster roll and the left coast BLT. The first location opened in North

duo opened up more locations across the East Coast. They franchised the restaurant in 2013. Burchill said they’re in the works opening up approximately 30 locations across the country, including Commack. “We expect a pretty large crowd,” Burchill said. “Most of our success is due to our very loyal clientele. They’re part of our growth.” The around 3,750-square-foot Commack location is expected to seat 125, Maynard said. The plan is to be open 7 a.m.-3 p.m., seven days a week, and closing for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. “We’re very confident. Being locals we’re sure that we’re going to be able to bring something to Long Island that really hasn’t been done before,” Maynard said. “When we open, we have to be as good as we say and that’s what our job is. We want to earn people’s love and respect.” For more information, visit famoustoastery.com.

BUSINESS Spotlight On

Huntington Businesses By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

With a clear sunny sky and cool summer breeze, some would rather be outside, either taking a walk, grabbing a bite to eat or shopping for the latest summer trends. At Ooh La La Boutique in Huntington village, the term “opposites attract” is employed, creating oneof-a-kind looks, with vintage and modern, casual and dressy, sexy and feminine, and edgy and classic. “We try to cover styles for city streets to sandy beaches,” Jenny Montiglio, of Babylon, said. Located at 306 Main St., the shop sells shirts, pants, dresses, shoes, bags, jewelry and more. Prices

range from $20-$150, and Montiglio said the store targets customers ages 18-60. “We want to see mothers and daughters or even grandmothers all shopping together in a really fun vibe,” Montiglio, 38, said. “It’s an eclectic mix in a sense of customers that we are targeting.” In terms of picking out the right styles, Montiglio said she and some store managers attend fashion shows and also do online research. “I think, over the past six years especially, our job has been easier with different blogs and seeing what our customers love and want,” she said. “We try not to be too trendy but we try to stay with what’s going on in terms of colors, fabrics, and textiles. We’re very picky buyers to bring in the best merchandise.” With its flagship store opening in Long Beach in 2005, the boutique opened a second location in Babylon Village.

BUSINESS Brexit And Beyond By Peter Klein pklein@hightoweradvisers.com

The nature of the market’s recent volatility has compelled me to find a quiet, shady spot and reflect on the current environment for investments. The first thing that comes to mind is something akin to, “We have been waiting for this,” the notion that we have been under weighing risk, somewhat substantially, due less to expectations of global disruptions like Brexit and more so to the current nature

of valuations and what we have been calling the “unbalanced risk/reward probabilities in risk assets.” A few weeks back, I codified these concerns into seven distinct factors, each of which gave us, and still does in large measure, reasons for caution. It should be noted that, back in January and February, we were buying risk and positioning capital for growth as markets sold off considerably, however the 15-percent rally since mid-February struck us as premature and whippy, which we sold into and reaped profits. This modus operandi of our new (read: post crisis) playbook focused more on tactical capital deployment

(not market timing, but rather “value mindfulness”) rather than the typical, somewhat robotic, “Set-itand-forget-it,” which has served our clients well, allowing careful, practical and opportunistic deployment of capital at important junctures. As we have said time and again, no longer are we in an environment where we need to be “all-in,” but instead one where we need to work the peripheries of portfolio management. To tack and position when the market provides openings, to find the undervalued and forgotten assets and to do the heavy lifting of security analysis to uncover risk adjusted returns. Sure, it takes time and commitment and hard work, but that’s what a good fiduciary minded financial advisor is to do. So what of Br-exit? What does it

mean? Connotations for the future economic glide path? From my lens this has more to do with a surge in populism and xenophobia than it does with economic reasoning. Of course any rational economist – Are there irrational economists? – would see the effects of increased costs on trade in the U.K., increased regulations, reduced markets to which to trade and reduced employment opportunities as a scenario to avoid. Clearly, given Br-exit, there are other factors at work here. Factors that are frankly disconcerting and worrisome. What if the winds of Brexit carry to other EU countries? Changes in the current political landscape? A further wave of populism and nationalism coming to our shores? An untested, unconvention(Continued on page A21)

Charting A Course For The Business Community Building bridges between the business community and government, Suffolk County presented “Charting the Course,” a free seminar for small business owners on June 24 at Suffolk Community College in Selden. More than 120 attendees made business connections and were given an opportunity to speak directly with the people in government who can help their businesses grow and prosper. “One of the goals of the seminar was to help small business owners see local government not as an impediment, but as a partner in growth,” said Suffolk County Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory, who hosted the event. “We want to work more closely with businesses to maximize private and public sector cooperation, ease some of the regulatory hurdles that new and existing businesses face, support strategic outreach and networking opportunities, and develop programs for worker training. This is how we will help give the next generation the ability to call Long Island home.” The day began with a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Martin Cantor about how small businesses can benefit from key economic drivers like infrastructure, manufacturing and tourism, and what resources the government offers to help business owners drive their companies forward. “The most important aspect of the event was the need to bring awareness to our small businesses of the many opportunities which are available to assist them in being successful in Suffolk County,” said panelist Mitch Pally, CEO of the Long Island Builders Institute and member of the MTA board. “Many government agencies, including the MTA/LIRR, have specific programs to provide procurement options for the goods and services which many small businesses provide. It is essential that our small businesses take advantage of these programs so that they can succeed and create new jobs in our community.” “I received a tremendous amount of feedback … that emphasized the genuine desire and commitment that Long Islanders want to be part of a posi-

Suffolk County Legislators Al Krupski and Kara Hahn and New York State Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean-Pierre joined them.

THE HALF HOLLOW HILLS NEWSPAPER • JULY 7, 2016 • A19

Uncle Giuseppe’s coming to Melville Mall (Continued from page A1)

slated to open summer 2017. As proposed, it would span 52,833 square feet, and would be the sixth location on Long Island for the chain, which was first established in 1998. “We’re hoping to include all of the departments we include in our largest stores -- mozzarella and pasta rooms, the pizzeria and

cafe,” she added. “In October 2015, the landlord, Federal Realty Investment Trust, bid on and won back the lease from Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., after their bankruptcy prompted a swath of closings, including several stores in the Town of Huntington.” Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson worked with the

landlord, Federal Realty, to coordinate a new tenant for the space. “We had worked with them successfully on the Waldbaum’s in Greenlawn, and they were receptive to our efforts to help put them in touch with people and to make sure that whoever the operator is got as quick an assessment as possible from the town about moving into a space like that,” he said.

Cuthbertson wrote a letter to Jeffrey Mooallem, senior vice president of Federal Realty, which was also published in The Long-Islander on June 16. He appealed to Mooallem to “locate a suitable tenant to re-establish a supermarket use.” Federal Realty did respond to a request for comment before deadline Tuesday.

Public hearing scheduled on proposed senior center (Continued from page A1)

The proposed 174,557-squarefoot, three-story senior center would also be built on two adjacent lots, both of which are currently occupied by Bissett Nursery. Ellen DeRiggi, an attorney for Bissett Nursery, said the company plans to continue business and expand its Holtsville location, but has no plans to transfer “operations” from Dix Hills. According to Natale, Brightview has plans to buy Bissett’s lots, which are located directly north of Natale’s and Palumbo’s property. In order to move forward, Natale

and Palumbo need the Huntington Town Board to approve zone changes for all three lots to residential health services, which permits assisted living facilities, nursing homes and life-care communities. The board is expected to host a public hearing on the proposal at 2 p.m., July 12, at Huntington Town Hall. “We’re in our 60s now, we always knew that sooner or later, something would be developed on this property,” Natale said. “This company is actually doing the right thing by purchasing two pieces instead of cramming it on one piece.”

Nearby residents disagree, however. A Change.org petition opposed to the proposal has emerged and garnered 382 signatures out of a targeted 500, as of deadline Friday. Gail Jospa, who lives on Tiana Place just south of the site, is one of the residents who organized the petition. She said that, except for a handful of residents, “nobody wants” the proposal to move forward. Jospa, a 47-year resident, said that any tax benefit potential raked in by the project would be offset be-

cause property values would decline if the zoning district was changed. Even if tax benefits were accrued, she said, she would still oppose it based on protecting the residential character of the neighborhood. “We voted the town officials in to protect us, not to find some rules to bring in more money into the town,” Jospa said. Further, Jospa called the potential zone changes “precedent-setting,” believing they could cause a domino effect leading to other rezonings in the neighborhood.

Peter Klein: Brexit and beyond (Continued from page A15)

al candidate for President of the United States gaining further traction this summer? These prospects offer an element of uncertainty, and markets abhor uncertainty. They can only price it with increased volatility and hence lower present values, it’s just math! So it seems likely that we are entering a phase of increased volatility, but that’s not always a bad thing. In fact, it can be just what we have been waiting for. Over the last several weeks we have culled a list of opportunities, individual securities, funds and indices that look attractive, checked and re-checked our thesis on each and developed an allocated portfolio to which capital can be committed. But we weren’t interested in chasing this market – patience is a virtue – and, as such, we are happy to wait and wade in slowly, but we have the resolve to act boldly and opportunistically should an unusual opportunity arise. Again, this is what being tactical and mindful is all about. What should an individual investor do? Your “homework” is to fully embrace this notion on contrarianism, buying when things are scary and cheap, and selling when things are frothy and complacent. Also, investors need to stay calm and comfortable in the knowledge that your advisory team is focused on your stated objectives and providing a comprehen-

sive wealth management plan focused on your goals.

row) the blood vessels. These are more specific than NSAIDs and acetaminophen. Sumatriptan, which is generic, was more effective in a 6 mg subcutaneous injection than as a 100 mg oral formulation in an RCT. According to two randomized

clinical trials, sumatriptan in combination with naproxen sodium was more effective than either drug alone in treating acute migraine attacks at the two-hour and 24-hour marks. These studies involved approximately 3,000 patients. While these results are inspiring, suma-

triptan-naproxen sodium at its best showed a complete nausea reduction in 71 percent of patients, but only 25 percent of patients were pain-free overall. Be cautious. Drug overuse can cause rebound headaches and thus increase migraine frequency.

Hills West’s Cam Jordan Commits To Syracuse By John Grimaldi info@longislandergroup.com

Cameron Jordan, a two-sport athlete for Half Hollow Hills High School West, has committed to play football for Syracuse University. “My family and friends always supported me,” said Jordan, who is set to enter senior year at Hills West. “They all want me to succeed, it didn’t matter where I went.” Jordan, who is listed at 6-foot-4, 185 pounds, has played both football and basketball for the Colts through his high school career. He’s a three-year varsity football player, and has been starting for the Hills West basketball team since he was a freshman. Even though he is committed to playing football for Syracuse, Jordan has no intention of stopping basketball. “Basketball is a must, I want to finish up with this great group of guys,” Jordan said. Jordan’s basketball coach Bill Mitaritonna said the commitment to Syracuse is “a great decision.” He added that Jordan may be the best two-sport athlete on Long Island: “I think the skies the limit for him.” But it’s not just Jordan’s ability as an athlete that commands respect. “The most important thing he gives is leadership,” Mitaritonna said. “They respect his ability, but respect him as a person more.” He said he told Jordan “I’m the guy who will be critical, but you have to be the one to pick them up.” “I think Syracuse is getting a really good kid and

Colts wide receiver plans to play football for the Orange

Hills West’s Cameron Jordan, a two-sport athlete who plays both football and basketball for the Colts, has committed to play football for Syracuse University in 2017. Jordan is set to enter his senior year at Hills West this September. a potential NFL player,” Mitaritonna added. Jordan was highly recruited for his football talents, garnering offers from the University of Maryland, University of Wisconsin, Boston College, University of Connecticut, University of Pittsburgh, Rutgers University and Stony Brook University. Jordan said he settled on Syracuse for several reasons.

“I think, for me, it was the best offensive style, the coaching staff is outstanding and we built a good relationship,” he said. “It just felt right.” Before he gets there, though, Jordan has another season of Colts football ahead of him this fall. “We want to win,” he said. “We lost in the Suffolk championship game last year. Falling short won’t be an option. We know what it takes.”

Local Mets Fans Test Their Knowledge By John Grimaldi info@longislandergroup.com

A pair of local New York Mets fans recently got to test their knowledge against Mets baseball announcers Gary Cohen and Howie Rose in “Beat the Booth,” a trivia game show that airs on SNY. James Hawkins, 26, from East Northport, and Adam Yanover, 49, of Melville, were two of the four contestants to challenge Cohen and Rose for their crown. “We had some introductory conversations, wishing each other luck,” Yanover said of the Mets baseball announcers. Added Hawkins, “They were pretty impressed on how we did and

that we were one of the best they ever had.” The show consists of four segments: “Terrific Trivia,” a rapid fire round of far-ranging questions; “Flushing Feud,” where teams must guess the top six answers to a specific Mets trivia question; “Around the Bases,” an SNY original game that gives teams a chance to “hit” for a single, double, triple or home run as each base corresponds to an increasingly difficult trivia question; and “Ya Gotta Believe,” a contest reminiscent of the “Pyramid” game show where one teammate provides clues to his partner who works to identify the correct answers. The episode featuring Hawkins and Yanover aired on June 28.

Hawkins said he and his teammate, Andrew Padaetz, 50, of Brooklyn, were winning after the first two rounds, but, after that, the questions got very specific and Cohen and Rose started to come back. As for Yanover, he said he and his teammate, Anthony Furia, 43, of Brooklyn, “would have liked to have been more competitive. All the questions were pretty hard.” He added, “It certainly was a challenge.” As fan of the Mets, Yanover said his current favorite player is hardthrowing right hander Noah Syndergaard, but cited Daryl Strawberry as his favorite Met ever. For Hawkins, he said Long Island-native Steven Matz is his fa-

vorite right now, but Mets captain David Wright is his all-time favorite. The franchise had endured several disappointing seasons dating back to 2007, but last October the Mets reached the World Series, and this season the team appears to be contenders once again. “It’s great,” Hawkins said. “It’s easy to stick in good times – and when they’re good, they’re so good. It makes the bad times less awful knowing there is hope.” Although Yanover was at one of the World Series games that the Mets lost, he said to be there “was a dream come true.” For more info on “Beat the Booth,” visit Sny.tv.
