Quench Comedy Thirst With Rob Schneider
The Emmy-award winning actor and Saturday Night Live veteran, Rob Schneider will leave you in stitches by the end of his standup act on March 11 at The Paramount.
SPOTLIGHT By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com
You might just find your belly aching from uncontrollable laughter after Hollywood actor and comedian Rob Schneider lights up The Paramount for a raucous night on March 11. The Emmy-award winning actor and Saturday Night Live veteran has sparked laughter from millions worldwide with comedy movie hits including “The Waterboy,” “Grandma’s Boy,” “Big Daddy,” and “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.” Schneider’s films have grossed over $2.6 billion in North America alone. He has also recently created and starred in a new television Netflix series, “Real Rob.” The self-financed, eight-episode, independently produced series was directed, co-written and stars Schneider with his real life wife, Mexican television producer
Patricia Azarcoya. Previously, his show “Rob” premiered in 2012 with an audience of 13.5 million viewers and averaged 11 million viewers over the run of its 8 episodes. When CBS cancelled the show, Scheider chose to take things into his own hands. “Eleven million viewers is not enough for them, it’s enough for me. I’ll do it myself,” Schneider previously stated. Schneider is the first actor to have written, produced, starred, directed and self-financed an entire season of a television show. “Real Rob” was renewed by Netflix in July 2016. Because of a previous conflict with Schneider’s television production commitments, the show was scheduled from the original Oct. 14, 2016 date. Current ticket holders do not need to exchange their tickets for the rescheduled date. If unable to attend, the tickets may be refunded. For additional questions or concerns, call 631-673-7300 or visit Paramountny.com. To purchase tickets ($30-$95) visit the website or the box office on New York Avenue. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show set to start at 8 p.m.

y t i n u m m co By Carrie Parker info@longislandergroup.com The Commack High School gymnasium was brimming with student volunteers, community members and the newly bald on Friday for the Commack School District’s annual St. Baldrick’s head-shaving fundraiser. The top team this year – and for its third year in a row – was Burr Intermediate School, which raised nearly $17,000 by the end of the night, although donations continue to be accepted online. Donations go to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, which supports childhood cancer research and treatment through head-shaving fundraisers, the idea for which was originally founded in Northport. The co-captains of the Burr Team, sisters Alessandra, a third grader, and Elysena, a fifth grader, recruited about 30 boys and even convinced Burr’s principal to have his head shaved.
“She’s a good negotiator,” said their mom, Ivelisse DeStefano, of Commack. Elysena added, “We want to help find a cure for cancer.” Her motto is: “A cancer-free world.” Principal Paul Schmelter said that there have been Burr students who have had cancer. “We have a big movement to support these kids,” he added. “They’ve done a great job.” Students cheered as the razor buzzed off a patch of Schmelter’s hair. “This is better than T.V.,” Elysena said. “You can try for the moustache next year,” Schmelter tossed back. “It’ll cost you more.” This year, math teacher and one of the founders of the Commack event, Lee Tunick, said Commack has surpassed the $550,000 mark in total funds raised since Commack High School began hosting the charity event in 2010.

The shaving station set up in the Commack High School gymnasium. St. Baldrick’s head-shaving events raise money for and show solidarity with childhood cancer patients. This year, the district has raised over $46,000 toward the cause, according to the online donation page at Stbaldricks.org. “Kids who have cancer only know what it’s like to be sick, and kids just don’t like to feel different,” Tunick said. “Shaving heads is a show of sol-
idarity.” Some attendees also chose to donate 8 inches of their hair to be turned into a wig through the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program. Thomas Provenzano, 59, of Commack, who came with son Alex, (Continued On Page 23)

y t i n u m m co 83rd Annual St. Patty’s Parade Is Sunday By Janee law jlaw@longislandergroup.com
The streets of Huntington will have a lot of green marching up and down them this weekend, when the longest running St. Patrick’s Day parade on Long Island hits the streets for the 83rd year. Slated for Sunday, March 12, the parade kicks off at 2 p.m. north of the Huntington Train Station and will then continue down New York Avenue. Parade-goers will then turn west onto Main Street to complete the march at Saint Patrick’s Church in Huntington village. The parade is hosted by Huntington’s Ancient Order of Hibernians. Andrew Brady is the parade journal chairman and said that parade-goers can expect appearances by the Walt Whitman and the Huntington high school marching bands, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1496 of Huntington Station,
American Legion Huntington Post 360, American Legion Greenlawn Post 1244, the Marine Corps League Detachment 792 in Huntington, local volunteer fire departments and more. An annual tradition for the past 83 years, Brady said, it’s going to be “a good Irish parade” and “lots of fun,” featuring 14 bagpipe bands. He added that continuing the annual celebration is significant in keeping the Irish heritage alive in the Township of Huntington. Following the parade, Brady said that many enjoy the rest of the day in the village, venturing to different bars and restaurants. Huntington Councilman Eugene Cook will be the grand marshal of this year’s parade, and added that to be selected is a “tremendous honor.” “As a Hibernian, I have enjoyed marching annually in the parade, and have been fortunate to serve as the Parade Emcee,” he said, adding that his role the last few years has been to

Brittany Schiavone was diagnosed with Down syndrome just minutes after she was born on March 19, 1989. Her parents, Sue and Rocky were hopeful for their new child, but the climate around them didn’t exactly share their enthusiasm. The reactions the Huntington Station family received, Sue said, were a mix of “congratulations” and “I’m sorry.” “We have friends who have pediatricians and obstetricians still telling them you don’t have to bring the baby home. Even 28 years ago, this was kind of the norm,” Sue said. Nearly 28 years later, the family is working to give new families with babies with Down syndrome a head start and high aspirations. “We’re trying to help the parents to celebrate the baby and to take that outlook to the world. What my husband and I have found is that the face that you put to the world is the fact that the world accepts,” Sue said. Now parents are “so much more hopeful and so much more optimistic and ready for this challenge.” In 2014, Brittany started Brittany’s Baskets of Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to putting new parents on the right track, giving them baskets full of essentials like blankets, lotions, hand-knit sweaters and

Since they began, the team has been laying the groundwork for the nonprofit, which took off last year. “I like to see my family supporting me all the way through,” Brittany said. Since October 2016, 319 baskets have been sent to families in 46 states all over the country, Rocky said. Ashley Asti, the nonprofit’s secretary and board
member, first teamed up with Brittany in 2014. She had heard about Brittany’s nonprofit and invited her to speak at a natural health seminar she was hosting, and they just “clicked.” Eventually, she joined Brittany’s SelfDetermination care team as part of a state initiative with the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities that allows those with developmental disabilities to outline their own level and goals for care. Soon, Asti became an integral part of not only Brittany’s support team, but also her new nonprofit venture by spearheading public relations and social media. She also adds in baby creams into the baskets from her own natural cosmetics company. By Friday, Brittany and the team had prepared a basket to be hand-delivered to 7-month old baby girl with Down syndrome the next day in Oceanside. It was their first hand delivery to a Long Island family. When Brittany isn’t busy crafting customized baskets at packing parties, since she considers herself a “party girl,” she can be found studying the arts at Hofstra University, as part of an educational program for those with developmental disabilities. She also volunteers at the food pantry at St. Hugh’s of Lincoln church in Huntington Station and sings in the chorus for the church’s theater company’s rendition of “Annie,” among other productions.

It took Kim Soper over a year to fashion “Lincoln,” a 46-by-60 inch long quilt that features an image of Abraham Lincoln pieced together by colored pieces of thread over a red backdrop. The quilt recently won first place in the improvisation category and won the people’s choice award for the entire show at the 2017 Quilt Con, which was hosted last month in Savannah, Georgia and presented by The Modern Quilt Guild. “I was thrilled,” Soper, 39, of Huntington, said, adding that she was accepted into the show after submitting her work in November. “Just to have my work received by the judges and to have them respond to something that I made and feel that it was worthy of a ribbon in such a prestigious show was just such a huge honor.” The quilt was a recreation of an image by an Indonesian artist, Ihsan Ekaputra, who makes style up pop art that’s called Wedha’s Pop Art Portraits (WPAP), Soper said. For the improvisation category, Soper crafted the quilt without using any templates, appliques, raw edges, or decorative threading. In fact, Soper used the photo as a reference and then used a rotary cutter to cut the fabric before sewing the pieces together. “If you look really closely at the quilt, you’ll see that the picture isn’t exact, it’s not perfect but it was my recreation using this method,” she said. Soper’s passion for quilting ignited six years ago before the birth of her second son, Rowan. “I decided to stay home and my mom gave me a sewing machine for Valentine’s Day and the first thing I did was make a quilt for my unborn son,” she said. “I’ve been quilting ever since.” Since then, Soper said she has fashioned approximately 10 quilts and gets her inspiration from existing art, other quilters, and sometimes colors. “The quilt that I’m working on right now, is really inspired by the interplay of color and how colors can change based on the colors that are next to them, and what your eye perceives,” Soper said.

Some of our most recent buyers moved from the following locations to Dix Hills & Melville. Kim Soper, of Huntington, is all smiles at the Quilt Con, where her quilt won first place in the improvisation category and won the people’s choice award for the entire show. She added, that time spent on fashioning a quilt depends on how intricate the design is. “I’ve made some quilts that took as short as a weekend and other ones that are more elaborate can take months,” Soper said. “‘Lincoln’ was a unique situation, because he was so intricate.” While she’s quilting, Soper said that she feels “connected to the tradition of women that have been making quilts for hundreds of years.” She added that for her, quilting is “a functional form of art because you can use a quilt for warmth but it’s also a way to express myself artistically.” Approximately 300 quilts were in the show, which ran Feb. 23-26. For her win in the improvisation category, Soper won a $500 prize and another $1,000 for the people’s choice award. Her quilt will be traveling across the United States and will venture to Australia and Europe as part of the best of Quilt Con traveling show. She will not being getting her quilt back until March 2018, she added. “The show was an amazing experience,” Soper said. “I finally had the opportunity to meet so many of the artists that I’ve been admiring for so many years and had the chance to connect with so many people that had the same interest as me. That was really amazing and the show itself was super inspiring. The whole thing was incredible.”

Two Half Hollow Hills High School West seniors hosted last week a basketball tournament that served as a fundraiser for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation. It raised $700. The two students, Ethan Barnowitz and Zach Stein, were participating in a Senior Experience class that gave them time to plan a community service-based project. Initially they planned a field day, but settled on the tournament, which they felt was more practical. Diane Arabian, teacher of the class, was impressed by the work of her students. By simply by giving students the gift of time to do these kinds of things they can come up with “absolutely incredible work,” she said. Barnowitz was inspired to fund the Manhattan-based Cerebral Palsy Foundation by his girlfriend’s sister, who was born with the disorder.

Hills West seniors Zach Stein and Ethan Barnowitz hosted a basketball tournament last week that served as a fundraiser for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation. They raised $700.
“this was one of the first things that popped into my head,” Barnowitz said. He added, “She was born with Cerebral Palsy and I know all the bad stuff she had to go through when she was an infant. She had to have eight surgeries.” Cerebral Palsy is a disorder that affects movement that usually occurs before birth as the brain begins to develop. The Cerebral Palsy Foundation seeks to bring those with the ability to help together and find solutions to help those who suffer from Cerebral Palsy. Initially, Barnowitz said, he had doubts, but in the end the students’ hard work payed off as the fundraiser raised $700 for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation. With a large turnout, students were eager to donate and participate to help out a worthy cause. The tournament split 66 students into 16 teams. Each student was asked to donate $10 to enter the tournament and students who were not participating were also given the ability to donate, which many took advantage of.

school A Look Back In Time By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com
Marsha Neville, principal of Washington Primary School in Huntington, discovered a portal to the past, after recently receiving a package in her mailbox. Inside, there was a handwritten letter from first grade teacher JoAnn Hansen and various class photos in their original sleeves from the late 1950s and early 1960s. “To ‘Whoever,’” the letter reads. “I was a first grade teacher at Washington from 2/58 until 3/62 under Les Read’s tenure. In going through my ‘stuff,’ I came across these pictures. They only have meaning to me and when I pass on, my children will surely toss them! Perhaps you have an archives section and these could be added to it. If not, a toss out on your part would be fine. My years there gave me many fond memories I will cherish forever. So glad the school is still educating kids today.”
Hansen earned her Bachelor of Science degree in education from Hofstra University in January 1958. The following month, she was assigned to teach first grade at what was then Washington Elementary School, working under the school’s founding principal, Leslie Read. Read studied at Brockport Normal School outside of Rochester, which today is known as SUNY Brockport. Also, at the time, J. Taylor Finley was Huntington’s superintendent of schools, the eventual namesake of Huntington’s middle school. Although the former teacher said she worked at Washington until March 1962, district records indicate she taught there until March 1963. Her first year salary was $4,300, records show. Shortly after Hansen arrived, construction began on a new wing at Washington Elementary School. At a Jan. 7, 1958 meeting the Huntington School Board approved the addition of a new wing to Washington,

Washington’s new wing housed classes for the first time on Nov. 24, 1958. Today, that new wing includes third and fourth grade and special education classrooms, speech, psychological and reading services, the library/computer room and the art room. Students signed their names inside the cover of the photo sleeve, opposite the class picture. One of the students is Salvatore Lupinacci, whose son, Chad is currently serving in the state Assembly, representing Huntington Station. The elder Lupinacci went on to graduate with Huntington High School’s Class of 1969.

Getting Clients Across The Finish Line
jlaw@longislandergroup.com
Barry Lites, owner and principal attorney of the Law Offices of Barry D. Lites, LLP, attributes his journey as a successful attorney to his 30 years of experience, and the fact that he is a “people person.” The thing he’s come to enjoy the most along that journey is “getting people across the finish line.” “I really do care that we’re successful. I put in a lot of time and a lot of thought into making that happen, and making that success a reality for my clients,” Lites, 55, of Lloyd Harbor, said. Graduating from University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School, Lites’ practice opened in 2010 at 23 Green St. in Huntington. There, he has around 600 square feet of office space, and specializes in areas like commercial law, finance and real estate. From 1998-2000, Lites was the senior counsel for GE Capital Real Estate and then GE Capital FGIC, before working for TradeCard, Inc. for seven years. Lites served as general counsel and vice president of trade finance for the company and then later served as CEO of TradeCard Middle East, based in Bahrain.
Barry Lites, owner and principal attorney of the Law Offices of Barry D. Lites, LLP, attributes his success to his 30 years of experience and the fact that he is a “people person.” For the job, Lites would spend three weeks in Bahrain and then a week home with his family. When asked to live in Bahrain permanently for the job, Lites decided that it was time for the company to find a replacement. With the boom of the mortgage crisis in 2008, Lites started volunteering at the Suffolk County Bar Association and was one of the founding members of the Suffolk County Bar Association Foreclosure Project. With that project, attorneys volunteered their time to counsel families in the county facing foreclosure. The experience of working pro bono with clients fighting foreclosure, Lites said, soon grew into his own law practice. “People who were not quite in
foreclosure or trying to explore their options would want to hire me to advise them and help them get out of that situation,” he added. Lites has now grown the real estate and commercial law practice, representing “buyers and sellers of real estate, real estate investors, and the Town of Huntington for all their real estate matters.” Lites has also been working with the town on Huntington Station master developer Renaissance Downtowns’ revitalization plan. “You never want to say that you’ve seen it all, but I’ve seen a lot,” Lites said. “What that enables me to do is to be really creative.” Lites has also worked from time to time out of a small office in midtown Manhattan since 2013.
Experiencing the ups and downs of business, real estate in particular, in many different environments and different economic environments, Lites said the journey has enabled him “to say that there really is no problem that cannot be solved. “It’s just a matter of thought, creativity and hard work.” In addition to his practice, Lites also founded and is the managing director of MENA Distribution Partners, LLC, a company founded in 2008 that identifies cutting edge technologies and products in the United States and markets them in the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region. Lites is also an adjunct professor of law at Hofstra Law School. He teaches international business transactions in the fall. In Huntington, he’s a board member of Huntington Chamber of Commerce; the Leadership Huntington Foundation; Moonjumpers Charitable Foundation, Inc.; and the Townwide Fund of Huntington. He’s also commissioner of the Huntington Housing Authority.
