After two recently undefeated seasons, Lou Hanner, varsity boys soccer coach for Elwood-John Glenn High School, has been named Coach of The Year by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association for the 2016-2017 school year. Now, he’s in the running for the Region 1 title of the National Federation High School Coach of the Year Award. But, his honors don’t end there. Just this past fall, he said, he also received the same distinction from the National Soccer Coaches Association for his storied career. The start of this coming fall season, Hanner will enter his 20th season at Glenn. “Being named the coach of the year for boys soccer statewide by the athletic directors is a humbling and huge honor.
Obviously it wouldn’t be possible without my family’s support of letting me keep doing what I’ve been doing.” He started his journey playing Division I soccer in 1990 at midstate SUNY Oneonta for his first three years. Then, in 1993, he transferred west to SUNY Cortland and finished his senior year playing Division III. The very next year, Hanner began sharing his skills, serving as a staff junior varsity coach, as he completed his bachelor of science in physical education. With a degree in hand, he then started to coaching at White Plains High School, from 1995-1997, finally moving to his current home at John Glenn in 1998. For the past two years, Glenn has stood undefeated in regular league play in League VI, but unfortunately came up short in the county semifinals both times. Still, the coach expressed a strong sense of pride in his
team. “I don’t know what to say, it’s kind of overwhelming,” Hanner said. “I’m very happy for our program. It’s a testament to the kids that have come through that have played. A lot of wins come with a lot of years.” Luke Karen, a newly minted Glenn grad, served as one of the team’s three co-captains. “I think it’s a great honor for him. He’s a good guy, definitely one of the better coaches I’ve had in my soccer career,” Karen, 18, said. “He definitely knows what he’s doing, knows how to coach high school soccer.” Karen, of Elwood, is headed to midstate Ithaca College this autumn where he’ll be playing varsity. He’ll be in the business school, but hasn’t yet settled on a major. Karen added, “He demands respect from the players. He just wants you to work hard, and if you do that, then he’ll be happy.”

music Coltrane Day Music Fest To Bring Community Together
Jazz saxophonists Charles Neville, left, and Kenny Garrett, right, are two of the headliners for this year’s Coltrane Day Music Festival. John Coltrane, center, is pictured in a graphic displayed at last year’s festival. By Lauren Peller info@longislandergroup.com
The Coltrane Day Music Festival is set to take over Heckscher Park for the third year in a row. Slated for Saturday, July 22, 210:30 p.m., the festival is the work of Dix Hills-based The Friends of the Coltrane Home, in conjunction with the Huntington Arts Council and Huntington Summer Arts Festival. As always, this year’s festival promises to be family-friendly and packed full of talented musicians and music workshops. The festival celebrates the legacies of revered jazz icons John and Alice Coltrane and is hoped to bring together the community through music, said Ron Stein, president of board of directors of The Friends of the Coltrane Home. “Nothing brings people together better than music,” Stein said. “The festival will be a terrific event for a great cause. We are looking to bring people of all backgrounds together to bond over music which is what late Alice Coltrane desired.” There is a deep lineup of talented musicians for this year’s festival, including jazz sax icon Kenny Garrett, up and coming jazz harpist, Long Islander Brandee Younger and more. The daytime headliners for this year are Charles Neville, of The Neville
Brothers, with jamband Circus Mind, and iconic jazz bassist Matt Garrison, in collaboration with ShapeShifter Lab. As for the evening, headliners will be jazz sax player Kenny Garrett and jazz harpist, and Long Islander, Brandee Younger. Stein added, “These talented musicians come from various backgrounds. We have female and male musicians to ensure a balance at the festival. The best part of the day is when the youth get on stage to perform with the renowned musicians.” As for the workshops, they will be held throughout the morning for both children and adults. There will also be other live music performances, including music ranging from jazz to hip-hop to gospel, and food and refreshments will be served. “As the third year running this festival, The Coltrane Home needs to raise more awareness and funds,” he said. Stein added that Friends of the Coltrane Home also plans to announce a fundraising campaign during the festival. The nonprofit is seeking $40,000 to aid mold issues in the home, which is located at 247 Candlewood Path in Dix Hills. Children younger than 18 will be admitted to the festival for free. There’s a $10 suggested donation for adults.

Fifteen talented and prideful members of Norwood Avenue Elementary School’s poetry club had their work published in their book titled, Apprentice Poets: Norwood Avenue School, Northport Edition. The book consists of 35 poems from the 15 club members, and artwork by third-grader and club member Paolo Greco, featured on the cover. The club consists of students in third through fifth grade. Club members completed three eight-week
School librarian Linda Trott Dickman and publisher James P. Wagner with Norwood Avenue Elementary School students and their first published book “Apprentice Poets: Norwood Avenue School, Northport Edition.” sessions where they shared their newest work, and where they learned what it takes to get their work published, along with the many parts of a book. The poetry club was under the guidance of school librarian, Linda Trott Dickman and publisher, James P. Wagner from Local Gems Press. Students read their poems aloud for all to hear at the launch. “They all read like pros,” Dickman said. “The kids did such an amazing job, there weren’t just ‘cute’ poems, but heartfelt and intriguing things, too.
The energy in the room was so high and wonderful that day, everyone was so supportive and full of pride.” The book received an overwhelming amount of support from the community, over 70 members that attended the poet’s book launch, two of which were Suffolk County Poet Laureate Robert Savino and board member Donna McNaughton. The books were sold at $15 each at the launch, where profits were directed towards the school district’s Bards Poetry Scholarship.
SCHOOL Ladybugs In The Garden Sue Lamorte’s Countrywood kindergarten class recently planted a ‘kinder-garden’ of their own. Children planted a variety of healthy herbs and vegetables in the Countrywood courtyard, such as tomatoes, lettuce, beans, peppers, zucchini, eggplant, basil, dill, thyme and parsley. The students are getting an educational and enjoyable experience as they tend to their garden and watch the crops grow. They’re also learning about ladybugs’ life cycle, and how they can benefit the vegetable garden. A few hundred ladybugs were released in the garden, and the students watched with interest as the insects explored. They learned that ladybugs can help the garden stay healthy, as they help rid the garden of harmful aphids that can damage plants and vegetables. Teamwork skills were also developed as children worked cooperatively to create and maintain the garden.
Students observe the hundreds of ladybugs they released in the garden to help it stay healthy.

To celebrate, The Bosstones are gearing up for a tour up and down the northeast that’s set to stop off in Huntington later this month. Dicky Barrett, lead vocalist and a member of the band since it formed out of the Boston hardcore scene in the early ’80s, said “Let’s Face It” marks a “pivotal time in our lives and in the Bosstones’ history. “It’s a special collection of songs to me, which probably goes without saying.

With a homey centrally located bar, nets and paddles, the restaurant serves up seafood so fresh, you’ll swear you’re miles off the Long Island Sound, eating the fresh catch of the day. From 1838, the location was once home to the Northport stables. The stone wall foundation still existing today hints at its earlier equine origins. The stables not only boarded horses, but was a market for local farmers to purchase feed and grain. The stables then burned down in 1888, with the location soon becoming a Northport Chrysler, but again, suffered a fire in 1938. After that, the

Taste Of Italy Comes To Huntington
info@longislandergroup.com
Transport yourself to a quaint Italian village, while not straying outside of Huntington, by entering the newlyopened Martoni Gourmet Emporium on Gerard Street. Co-owners Mark Healy and Tony Bosco have brought exclusive and authentic Italian tastes and flavors to the village with their offerings of imported lines of oils, vinegars, mushrooms and more. “This is not just another oil store,” Healy said. “We are trying to articulate to the community that we are an exclusive producer from Italian artisans.You can’t find our products anywhere else, which is what makes us so unique.” Healy previously worked in the finance world, however, he always had a passion for Italian cuisine. Bosco, an engineer and ex-restaurant owner, hails from Italy. He frequently visits Italy to unearth exceptional products to sell locally. The two found a common interest and thought that Long Island was missing premium products imported directly from Italy. Martoni, a combination of their first names, also sells directly to customers through Martonigifts.com, and at A & S Italian Pork Store in Massapequa.
Martoni owners Mark Healy and Tony Bosco show off their exclusive imported products. The business partners sell the imports and items they get through their close contacts in Italy. “We wanted to focus on the Huntington area because there is such a focus on quality. People like the quality and are searching for unique things. This is a great test kitchen for receiving feedback from everyone coming in to try and buy our products,” Healy said. At Martoni, which opened June 24, the shelves are lined with enticing extravirgin olive oils, aged balsamics, porcini mushrooms, pastas, breadsticks, tomato pulp, wood roasted coffee and more. Martoni’s balsamic vinegars are produced from Modena, the mecca for balsamic vinegars. Two popular balsamics are the first-level, aged bal-

samic and the white balsamic, which both sell for $19.99. From a 250 mL bottle of traditional balsamic ($9.99), to a 100 mL bottle of 25-year aged balsamic ($175), there are options for all customers. The extra-virgin olive oil is picked, pressed and packaged right from the top of a beautiful mountain in Calabria from the Ferraro family. The taste is buttery, rich and savory which is ideal for freshly prepared cuisine. Martoni’s olive oils range in sizes from .25-liter bottles ($12) to 1-liter bottles ($29.50) to 5-liter tins ($80). Healy added, “For good quality and unique products - these prices are reasonable. Everyone in the community can participate in our offering which is
exciting.” In order for the customers to appreciate their imported products, Bosco and Healy are happy to provide tastings and educate anyone who walks in the door.

the bond market also sending a message about growth? The mother’s milk for stocks is real economic growth and the action in the bond market suggests that we will not get much more than the paltry 2 percent that we have been getting for years, despite trillions of central bank accommodation. • Valuations: when the Cyclically Adjusted PE ratio is above 25 times, cash has outperformed in the subsequent 5year period 77 percent of the time. The CAPE is today north of 29 times. Global valuations are a bit better than the U.S. at current levels, but the median global stock still trades at levels higher than their two prior market peaks. Emerging markets trade closer to their median valuation, despite having better demographics and stronger growth economies. • The Fed announced a concrete plan to start reducing the size of its bloated balance sheet. Once implemented, the Fed will reduce its balance sheet by $10 billion per month.An escalation will continue until the Fed is cutting its balance sheet by $50 billion per month. So, here is the question: if the Fed’s actions since the crisis buoyed the stock market, then isn’t it safe to say that a reversal of that extraordinary action would likely be a headwind going forward for stocks, especially given current valuations? • David Winters, of Wintergreen Funds, recently mentioned that 10 stocks (FAANG plus) accounted for more than 70 percent of the returns in the S&P over the last seven years. ETFs and momentum-based strategies are all the
Whistling & Complacency pklein@hightoweradvisors.com
I looked it up: the phrase “whistling past a graveyard,” and its less morbid prohibition against whistling in a news room, both stem from the same kind of notion – that complacency is bliss, and no matter how safe things seem right now, never take the unexpected for granted. Well, there has certainly been a whole lot of whistling on Wall Street these last few weeks, and a complete lack of volatility. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index’s realized volatility is at the lowest level since 1966, according to Goldman Sachs. The index’s three- and six-month implied volatility readings, which measure what might happen in the future, are about 10 and 11.9, respectively, compared with average implied volatility of 17.6 and 18.3 during the past 15 years. What, me, worry? What’s there to worry about?
Well for those of us who are charged with the responsibility to worry for their clients, to “watch their backs,” these last few months have been the fodder of many a head scratch. Here are some observations for your consideration: • Bank lending and credit have contracted (down to 50-percent of where it was a year ago). Commercial and industrial loans are barely growing, and residential lending has also been in a downtrend. • There is a feedback loop of corporations leveraging their balance sheets to buy back their own stock, and shares of other companies, which in turn increases their share prices, but does little for the potential growth of the U.S. economy. It at least makes everyone, at least investors, feel as if it does. • What is the oil market telling us? How about bond investors – who are typically more spot on with macroeconomics than their noisy, stock market brethren – with the 10 year plumbing to new 2017 lows? Of course, there are foreign investors buying U.S. government bonds and depressing our yield. But is

rage, which presents unintended consequences and also opportunities for the keen-eyed, patient, contrarian investor – just as the Nifty ’50s were in the ’70s, or the “1-Decision” stocks were or the dotcoms. Whenever you see narrow leadership in the stock market it is time to become cautious. The takeaway message here is that investors should not be comforted by the lack of volatility, especially in face of some pretty substantive issues on the financial horizons – again, not even mentioning the geo-political landscape. It is this lack of volatility that should indeed have investors concerned. They should review their policy statements, their financial plans and overall portfolios.
Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce welcomed a new business to the village with a ribbon-cutting last Thursday. Energy Fitness, a boutique fitness club, is gearing up to open at 226 New York Ave. The family-owned business is expected to open later this month.
