MUSIC ‘Switchfoot,’ ‘Relient K’ Packing High Energy SPOTLIGHT

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Members of Grammy-winning band Switchfoot and Grammy-nominated alternative rock band Relient K are primed to bring high-energy, unique performances to The Paramount on Oct. 15, when they’ll co-headline the “Looking For America Tour.”

Switchfoot released its 10th studio album, “Where The Light Shines Through,” in July. In the same month, Relient K released its eighth album, “Air For Free.”

Switchfoot drummer Chad Butler said that when the bands hit The Paramount later this month the setlists will incorporate songs from each of the band’s latest albums, along with hits from years past.

But audience input is also welcome.

“The songs are different each night depending on the crowd and I think the

audience has a big role in where the songs go and which songs we play,” Butler said. “Someone might shout out a title of an old song and that might inspire us to change the set list right there. Each night is unique.”

Of their previous nine albums, Switchfoot has sold 5.7 million copies worldwide. That includes the 2003 double-platinum breakthrough “The Beautiful Letdown,” which featured hits “Meant To Live,” and “Dare You To Move;” and Grammy Award-winning 2009 album “Hello Hurricane.”

Butler said the guitar rock sound that the band has always been known for returns with the new record.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to bring these new songs and to hear the crowd singing along with us to the ones that they know,” he said. It’s going to be an incredible evening.”

Along with Butler, Switchfoot band members include Jon Foreman on vocals and guitar; Jerome Fontamillas on keys and guitar; Tim Foreman on bass guitar; and Drew Shirley on guitar.

Butler said Switchfoot is knwn for asking big questions in its music, and

that’s especially true in “very interesting time in our country.”

“Through music, you can talk about things that might be uncomfortable in everyday conversation, but you can examine the state of the world around you and ask big questions Grammy Award-winning band Switchfoot and Grammyand I think that’s the nominated alternative rock band Relient K will be taking beauty of songs,” over the stage at The Paramount on Oct. 15.

Butler said.

When it comes to playing with Seven Years Ago,” which featured Relient K, who have been long-time songs like “Must Have Done friends, Butler said the band’s act on Something Right.”

For Switchfoot, the show will mark spontaneity.

“I think having a band like Relient K the first time the band has performed at out with us has really inspired us to The Paramount.

“I think it’s going to be more of an step up the energy of our live show,” he said. “We push each other I think as intimate occasion where we actually artists and collaborate as well. So it’s feed off the individuals in the room so I’m looking forward to that,” he said. been incredible so far.

The Best Time To Start Orthodontic Treatment?

By Dr. Inna Gellerman info@longislandergroup.com

We see children and teens of all ages (and adults too!) who have decided they want a spectacular smile, but there are general Dr. Inna guidelines about when Gellerman orthodontic treatment should start.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have an orthodontic checkup at age 7. We can spot problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth even while baby teeth are still present. In some cases, early treatment may prevent more serious problems from developing, and could make later treatment shorter and less complex.

This is known as two-phase treatment, a specialized process combining tooth straightening and physical, facial changes. The purpose of twophase treatment is to maximize the

opportunity to accomplish the ideal healthy, functional, and aesthetic result that will remain stable throughout the patient’s lifetime.

Some of our patients are teens who were slow to lose their baby teeth, and they usually begin treatment between ages 14-16. The goal is to start and complete treatment before they leave home to attend college. By adding Acceledent to their treatment, we can reduce their time in braces by up to 50 percent. Acceledent is an appliance used at home daily that has become part of treatment for patients with traditional braces as well as with Invisalign.

Our adult patients start treatment throughout the year, but we have noticed certain “seasons” for adult orthodontics. For brides and grooms who want to have a wonderful smile for their wedding photos, treatment usually starts shortly after they announce their engagement.

Adults who are preparing to undergo cosmetic dental procedures,

such as having teeth whitened, should first make sure that their teeth are straight. We can check for this during a free consultation. If teeth are whitened first, then straightened, discolored patches that had been hidden behind overlapping teeth will be revealed when orthodontic treatment is completed.

October is National Orthodontic Health Month, a national awareness campaign created to educate people about the importance of dental health and how orthodontics plays an important role in dental health and overall health for children and adults.

With that in mind, the end of October brings Halloween and Halloween candy. A reminder for braces wearers: avoid hard candy, sticky or crunchy candies and treats. It doesn’t mean you can’t have a treat, but make good choices: soft chocolates, peanut butter cups or other varieties of candy that are soft, not chewy sticky and will melt in your mouth. Be sure to brush after every sugary treat.

Happy Halloween!

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.

Dolan Center Now Breastfeeding Friendly

The Dolan Family Health Center is located at 284 Pulaski Road in Greenlawn.

The Dolan Family Health Center was recently recognized by the state Department of Health as the first breastfeeding friendly practice on Long Island, and in New York City.

Led by Debbie Hernandez, NP, the Dolan Family Health Center’s staff developed a procedure that ensures mothers and their babies treated at the health center get

vital information about the importance of breastfeeding including helpful tips and best practices.

The Dolan Family Health Center has OB/GYN and pediatric caregivers who are certified in breastfeeding education and can promote and support women and their babies throughout the breastfeeding process. Women can also receive care from a certified lactation consultant at the health center.

“It is well established that breast milk and breastfeeding offers infants the best nutrition; enhances their immunity and their intelligence; and creates a strong bonding experience between mother and child,” said William Gehrhardt, MD, medical director of the health center. “Becoming a breastfeeding friendly practice just seemed like the right thing to do.”

New Hire At Hospital Leonardo Huertas, MD, right, has been named chairman of emergency medicine at Huntington Hospital.

Huertas was previously the chairman of emergency medicine at Glen Cove Hospital. He is certified in emergency medicine by the American Board of Emergency Medicine and completed his medical education at SUNY Upstate Medical University and his residency at Christiana Care

Health System.

Huntington Hospital is slated to open its new, expanded emergency department on January 2, 2017. It will be more than double the size of the previous facility.

When the Huntington Camera Club was first started in 1966 by Nat Scherer, an educator and professional photographer for Grumman at the time, it consisted of 20 members.

Now, the club holds nearly 120 members and recently celebrated its 50th anniversary on Tuesday.

Nancy Garner, club president, said the celebration was “an outpouring of the fact that we are a family in the club. We really support each other and help each other.

“I just want to see everything that is great about the club continue,” Garner, of Coram said. “I’m really happy that we’re celebrating our history and looking in the future to keep growing.”

With members ranging from high

school students to adults in their 80’s, Garner said three quarters of the members live within the Huntington township. Others venture from as far as eastern Suffolk and Queens.

Every week, the club meets on Tuesdays at the Huntington Public Library, and covers different photography topics such as flowers, landscapes and more. Guest speakers also attend the meetings and discuss a variety of helpful tips such as composition, post-processing, and tricks for Photoshop.

Garner said that, when it comes to photography, it’s a passion and a way of sharing “your view of the world.

She added, “If you have a passion for something like photography, you tend to be more involved in things and you observe things better.”

Throughout the year, the club participates in several competitions,

Now, the club is planning to host its first art gallery show at the Huntington Public Library in 2017.

“The thing about the club is it’s really photography with friends and we’ve made so many friends in the club,” Garner said. “It’s just a great group of people and we want to leave a legacy for years to come.”

Garner said that meetings are open for anyone to attend. For those who want to be a member, annual prices vary between $20-$110. For more information on how to join, visit Hccny.org.

Huntington, A ‘Kaleidoscope’ Of Culture

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com The people of the Town of Huntington, which is known for its storied, colorful timeline, have been described as a “kaleidoscope.”

Local author Alfred V. Sforza provides that description in his book, Portrait of a Small Town II “In The Beginning.”

“A kaleidoscope of constantlychanging groups in our community has provided the building-blocks for the framework of our town. There is more information in our history that has shaped the backbone of our town than can be written in one book,” Sforza wrote.

The description of the Town of Huntington as a “kaleidoscope” is apt to describe a town of such a sto-

ried, colorful timeline. Huntington has evolved and grown from its humble beginnings when the land was purchased from the Matinecock tribe in 1653 for a sum of “six coats, six howes, six kettles, six hatchets, six shirts, ten knives, six fathoms of wampum, three muxes and thirty needles,” according to the town’s website.

Turning our attention to the modern era, many recognize the town as a unique centerpiece of Long Island, balancing North Shore charm, a bustling downtown, historic districts, and a diversified, rewarding lifestyle for all ages. One can experience antiquated relics and structures dating back to the 17th century, taste tapas at a Mediterranean eatery, appreciate artistry at one of the town’s numer(Continued on page B15)

“Huntington’s rich history, its award-winning schools, walkable downtown, wonderful parks, beautiful harbors and its thriving cultural arts community are some of the unique ingredients that make Huntington great,” stated Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson.

The town will soon welcome thousands to bask in the wonders of autumn at the Long Island Fall Festival.

Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone said “fall is a special time of year in Huntington, with many unique attractions for residents and visitors to enjoy, beginning with the Long Island Columbus Day Parade and the Fall Festival over Columbus Day weekend and including the

Holiday Parade and Festival over Thanksgiving weekend.”

He added, “For Halloween, I always look forward to the children’s parade from, the post office to Main Street, with all of the kids and their parents in costume. Fall is also the season to take in our trails and passive parks to enjoy the foliage as the leaves turn color and to go pumpkin picking at Schmitt’s Farm in Melville.”

As the leaves prepare for their earthly descent, resonating into the present are the words of Walt Whitman, a naturalist renowned the world over. Amid the shifting scenery and a panoply of warm colors that help us prepare for the incoming brisk weather, Whitman could not help but sing praises for the changing seasons, from a vantage point he called a “theatre of time.”

“O Earth, that hast no voice, con-

The Long Island Fall Festival draws thousands each year to Heckscher Park in the heart of Huntington village. This year’s festival kicks off Friday and runs through Monday. fide to me a voice! / O harvest of my lands! O boundless summer growths! / O lavish, brown, parturient earth! O infinite, teeming

womb! / O theatre of time, and day, and night!” Whitman wrote of the fall in his poem “A Carol for Harvest of 1867"

‘Trick-Or-Treat’ Through Huntington Village Ghouls, ghosts and all sorts of costume-cloaked kiddies are set to invade Huntington village this Halloween.

The Town of Huntington’s annual Children’s Halloween Costume Parade is set to kick off at 4:15 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 31, from the Huntington Post Office on Gerard Street.

Children of all ages, and their parents/guardians, are welcome to dress in costume and march through the village to collect candy

from village merchants. Those who wish to participate are asked to arrive at the post office by 4 p.m.

Merchants across town are participating in the Huntington Business Improvement District’s “Safe Trick-or-Treat” program, which will see them pass out candy to swarms of visiting trick-ortreaters.

SCHOOL Bellerose Avenue Elementary School students celebrated National Public Lands Day on Sept. 23 by taking a nature hike at the Town of Huntington’s Veterans Nature Study Area and Barbara Frost Trail in East Northport. National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer effort to enhance and improve public lands.

All grade levels participated in the hike and were provided with a guide from the Town of Huntington Department of Planning and Environment. Students learned about ecosystems and rocks along the way.

“The purpose of our hiking tour is to raise awareness of public land resources we have right in our own backyard,” said Lori Beekman, principal of the elementary school.

Students walked the trail for 30 minutes as a class and took notes about what they encountered.

“It was so fun,” said fourth-grader Matthew Munson. “My favorite part of the hike was seeing the big rock.”

Sandy O’s Delivers Natural, Beautiful Results

Sandy Oringer, owner of Cold Spring Harbor-based Sandy O’s Faces, has been a trendsetter in the industry of cosmetics by using natural ingredients in makeup products, and offering personalized services.

Spotlight On

Huntington Businesses

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Sandy Oringer, owner of Sandy O’s Faces, a Cold Spring Harborbased mail-order makeover service, has been a national, pioneering figure in the world of cosmetics for almost 50 years. With the help of a chemist, she formulated all-natural ingredients into makeup products.

Along with then business partner Lois Muller, Oringer cofounded “i” Natural Cosmetics, an all-natural ingredient make-up line, in 1970.

The business took off, Oringer said, after its national debut was featured in Glamour Magazine. The article and an advertisement highlighted a $2 kit that included a strawberry cleanser, a grapefruit skin freshener,

a lemon moisturizer and a vitamin E stick for lips.

“We had a little one room office in New York and the doorbell rang and there was a man standing with a big garbage bag,” Oringer said, adding that the man was a postman delivering a bag of letters spawned by the coverage. “There were hundreds of responses… and that put us in business.”

Oringer, of East Norwich, said that when they realized the letters were filled with $2 bills intended for purchasing the makeup kits. She and Muller threw the bills in the air in celebration of their product’s success.

Soon after, they were selling their products in 150 stores and then went public with the product and sold “i” Natural Cosmetics to Nutrisystem.

In 1975, Oringer went off on her own to start Sandy O’s Faces, part of which is the face by mail service, which involves the same all-natural makeup products as part of the stepby-step mail-order makeover service.

Women would mail a photo of themselves to Oringer, who would send

back a kit for their face, along with a makeup chart.

The mail-order service continues today as part of Oringer’s 500square-foot business at 181 Main St. in Cold Spring Harbor. While Sandy O’s Faces specializes in allnatural application, it also offers one-on-one makeup sessions and teaching services, sells Oringer’s products and hosts group parties for celebrations like birthdays, bridal parties and proms.

“Clients should come to me to learn how to put on something appropriate for their lifestyle,” Oringer said. “They should feel comfortable knowing that, when they leave me, they’ll know how to do it themselves. The only time they’ll need me again is new colors and new color combinations.”

While prices for parties at $25 per person, wedding parties range from $50-$100 per person. Makeup lessons are $10. Sandy O’s products, such as foundations, blushes, powers, pencils, glosses, lipsticks and more, are also available at the store, or online at Sandyo.com.

Recently, Oringer started “On the Go! Take Sandy O!,” a mini makeup manual showing clients of all ages how to apply makeup in a natural way. It includes a free vitamin E stick.

“The products are fine and healthy and my main goal is to show them how,” Oringer said. “I really concentrate on making women feel comfortable with makeup.”

She added that with the proper use of makeup, a woman can look like a better version of herself and not somebody else.

“Makeup makes you feel good. If your face is done well and you feel good about yourself, it’s an uplift to how you handle your life,” Oringer said. “You act better and have pleasant interactions with other people when you feel good about yourself.”
