t n e m in a t r e t n e A Night Of Excitement With Chippendales SPOTLIGHT

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Leave your troubles behind and peel your eyes, ladies and gentlemen, as eight chiseled performers of the famed Chippendales are set to bring a night of excitement to The Paramount next week as part of the “Best. Night. Ever.

2017 Tour.”

“The audience is in for an amazing night,” said Bryan Cheatham, creative director, host and performer when the show is in Las Vegas. The audience is “going to have a fun night, they’re going to be turned on, they’re going to see eight guys on stage half naked shaking their stuff and they’re going to have a night that they’re not going to forget.”

Cheatham, a Chippendale for the past 14 years, is also a singer, dancer, actor and model. Although he won’t be making an appearance at The Paramount, he promised the audience will be in the good hands of Justin Rhodes, tour singer; Tory George; Jeffrey Garrovillo; Shiva Paul; Cody Canyon; Cameron Brown; Joey Pena; and Mozart.

For 37 years, all-male dance troupe Chippendales has been gyrating its way into the hearts and laps of fans everywhere. In March 2015, for the fourth consecutive year, Chippendales was named the “Best Male Strip Show” as part of the Las Vegas Review Journal’s prestigious “Best of Las Vegas Awards.”

With a fraternity of 24 members, the show’s flagship company is based in Las Vegas at the Rio Al-Suite Hotel & Casino. Starting March 30, supermodel Tyson Beckford will begin his summer residency as the celebrity guest host.

While the popular film “Magic Mike” is based off the original Chippendales, which includes stuffing money in performers G-strings, Cheatham said the show has since changed.

“We’ve evolved and left that in the past,” he added. “Our show is a full scale production show. The guys come

The Paramount will be roaring with excitement next week as eight Chippendales performers will take over the stage for the “Chippendales: Best.

Night. Ever. 2017 Tour.” out and interact with the girls and we do bring the girls up on stage and they get to be part of the experience.”

Since it’s inception, Cheatham said, becoming a Chippendale isn’t has easy as it looks.

“A misconception that the guys have is that you just have to have a good body to be a Chippendale but that’s just one of the elements,” Cheatham said. “It’s so much more than that.”

He added that performers have to be able to dance and have a personality that reaches beyond the stage to connect with audience members.

“There are so many guys that want to do our job, so we’re selective with who we choose,” Cheatham said.

“Only a select number of guys are able to rock our custom collars.”

In addition, Cheatham said preparation for shows, especially the tour show, requires months of training, dance classes, coming up with new moves and new routines, while also working out on a daily basis.

“Every year for our tour show, we try to bring the girls something new, fresh and exciting,” he said. “It’s more than just a strip show because we’re actually effecting girls’ lives. They come, they leave their problems behind and they have a night that they will never forget.”

The performance is slated for Feb. 9 at The Paramount, with doors set to open at 8 p.m. for the 9 p.m. show.

Tickets are $34-$65 and can be purchased at the box office or at Paramountny.com.

As Dr. Mark Capodanno instructs his students in the finer points of the human anatomy at the college-level course at St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, he uses an image of a cross section of a brain.

He will show them the cerebrum, which enables high-level, complex cognition in humans. He can also show the rear of the brain that houses the cerebellum, which governs motor functions and balance.

He can also pinch to zoom in, as if he were using a smartphone, to more closely observe the arbor vitae, the fern-like part of the cerebellum that relays sensory and motor information to and from that region of the brain.

This innovation comes from the school’s recent addition to its educational arsenal: the Anatomage medical table. It lets students and faculty alike

EDUCATION Elevating Anatomy Into 3 Dimensions

St. Anthony’s High School anatomy teacher Dr. Mark Capodanno and senior Anthony Rios examine the spinal cord of a virtual cadaver with the Anatomage table. observe, dissect and move around a virtual cadaver, all in three dimen-

O p en H ouse E v e r y We d n e s d a y From 9AM-11Am

sions.

The touchscreen table allows the user to move a virtual cadaver in any direction with intuitive gestures, much like using a smartphone or tablet.

There are tools that also allow one to cut the cadaver in any orientation, enabling a cross section view.

St. Anthony’s Principal Bro. Gary Cregan recalled a visit to the school by Dr. Sean Levchuck, director of pediatrics at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn. Cregan was fascinated to see how Levchuck explained how heart surgery was performed 20 years ago, all while using the modern-day Anatomage as a reference tool.

He believes the table will inspire students to explore new ground, experiencing things like the “awesomeness of a human heart.” They can make mistakes and learn in a virtual surgery where life and death isn’t a factor, he said.

“Here is a table that will enable a kid… to play. That’s where play helps inspire, and play lets you become comfortable with something that later as adults can then become a passion,” Cregan said.

The Anatomage medical table is priced at $75,000, but an anonymous donor to the school covered the cost.

As Capodanno used the table with a student in his anatomy class, St. Anthony’s senior Anthony Rios, they reviewed the different connections and systems within the body.

Using one of Rios’ favorite tools, they scrolled through the transection

of the body and changed view settings to go from seeing the entire cross-section, stripping back the organ layer to show just the circulatory system, then added back in the nervous system.

The composite images are created in part with MRIs and CT scans of real human subjects who donated their bodies to science, similar to traditional medical cadavers. The table also features virtual models of conditions including gunshots, tumors and heart defects. Additionally, it also features models of animals like dogs and rats.

Rios aspires to enter the medical field somewhere in the realm of surgery.

“If you make a cut on an actual cadaver, there’s no going back,” Rios said. “With the Anatomage, you can cut, and you can undo your cut and bring it back, move it around and isolate certain parts of the body.”

Teaching anatomy for seven years, Capodanno said the new technology allows him to compress the textbook knowledge into a form he says is not only educational, but also inspirational.

Looking ahead, the school is in the process of creating a medical educational center that will also function as an amphitheater to host doctors from the affiliated St. Francis Hospital to come in and teach, with the Anatomage table as the centerpiece.

“To me as a teacher, it gives me a tool to teach in three dimensions,” Capodanno said. “So, what I hope as a teacher, is to be able to not just educate him… but also inspire him.”

MUSIC Elwood-John Glenn High School juniors Jason Mueller and Sean Wilkinson have a talent that shines while performing in the percussion section of the high school band. With this skillset, the duo has recently been selected as members of the Suffolk County Music Educators’ Association 2017 All-County High School Percussion Ensemble.

Mueller, on the timpani, and Wilkinson, playing the marimba, auditioned with many students across Suffolk and were selected as two of the top 15 students to join the prestigious group of musicians.

“Their percussion skills have skyrocketed over the past three years and I am so very proud to be a part of their music education,” Vickie Henson, Elwood-John H. Glenn High School band director, said.

“These are incredible young men

who in addition to their musical contributions to our department, make service to others a priority in their daily lives. They are shining examples of the Elwood Community.”

For the next week, Mueller and Wilkinson will continue to rehearse with the ensemble to prepare for next week’s performance on Feb. 10 at Mount Sinai High School, located at 110 North Country Road.

With this, Mueller and Wilkinson are also currently preparing for New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) solos. They are members of the John Glenn Symphonic Band, Honors Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble and Marching Band. In addition, Mueller is also a member of Concert Choir and Acapelwood, the high school’s acapella group.

Huntington High School students are pictured last year with the donations collected through the school’s annual Stuff The Bus campaign. This year’s campaign is currently gearing up.

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

Huntington High School’s annual Stuff The Bus community service campaign is in high gear as students are beginning their collection of nonperishable items for the less fortunate.

The campaign will accept donations through March 24. Collection boxes are being placed across all eight school district buildings. The bus will then be loaded with the goods on March 25 and will make its way around town to local food pantries, where they will be unloaded and stocked.

Fred Bisogno, a faculty advisor for the program, said that residents can expect to see students standing outside supermarkets to ask them to donate goods for the cause.

“We have already started to collect items in room 213 at the high school,” Bisogno, who teaches in the room where the items are being stored, stated. “We are looking for-

ward to working with many other clubs at the high school, including Interact, Key Club and the Young Leaders organization.”

Students will be on hand collecting donations this Saturday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., at King Kullen on 50 New York Ave. and on Feb. 11 at the Huntington village Stop and Shop, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

“Our local supermarkets are the backbone to making this food drive as successful as it has been,” Bisogno stated. “The students did an unbelievable job collecting over 40 grocery carts worth of food.”

The initiative is being spearheaded by the school’s student government, with representatives in each grade level.

Those seeking to donate can drop off items at the reception desk inside the high school’s main entrance. Contact Bisogno at fbisogno@hufsd.edu or Anthony Troffa at atroffa@hufsd.edu for additional information or to get involved.

Not far from the shores of Huntington Harbor, The Shamrock Restaurant and Bar carries over a decades old tradition adapted for the ever frenetic pace of pub culture.

Stepping inside, one of the first things patrons may notice are the bar paraphernalia decorations that span time. Tap handles and bottles serve as reminders of every drink they’ve ever carried, and one may wonder if they’ll eventually run out of space going forward.

Portraits of local dignitaries of all sorts, including then-Congressional candidate Thomas Suozzi, are a testament to Shamrock’s status as a local community center. Offering up pool, arcade games, lotto and even OffTrack Betting, it’s no wonder that some regulars have frequented the pub for over three decades.

Co-owner Kevin Morrison recounted the bar’s opening on May 7, 1979.

Shortly after opening, the bar started

The Shamrock boasts a plethora of taco tastes, including the The Korean Steak or Fish Tacos or Baja Fish Tacos which wrap fresh ingredients around an authentic corn tortilla

serving food, a small lunch menu at first.

He remembered when Huntington was “packed with bars,” and the Shamrock has stood the test of time with what Morrison describes as a “light atmosphere” and an ability to adapt to changing trends, while keeping its core values.

“You got to change your colors every once in a while,” Morrison said.

“Just come in, relax and get away from the world.”

Co-owner and Morrison’s son-inlaw Joe Russo was born the same year, and he would eventually come aboard as the bar’s chef. Starting in high school, Russo came by the Shamrock to learn cuisinal basics from Morrison, which would eventually blossom to form its now broad menu.

“He showed me how to cook, showed me the kitchen. From then, I was addicted to cooking,” Russo said.

For starters, the Fried Pork Dragon Wings ($16) are sauteed in a sweet and tangy dragon sauce that packs immense flavor. Pairing perfectly with the pub’s Shamrock draft beer, the wings are just slightly crunchy, giving way to a supple, meaty interior.

The Steamed Clams ($15) serve up Little Neck clams in a garlic broth with a mix of herbs. Paired with garlic bread toast, the dish puts forth garlic as its mainstay, but avoids overpowering, leaving a powerful finish for the chewy clams. Occasional pops of lemon accent provide an underlying hint of zest.

No pub would be complete without Chicken Wings ($15), and Shamrock’s are not only sizable, but packed full of flavor. The medium hot sauce brings a steady heat that lingers, producing a warm kick with each bite.

The Johnathon’s Pan Fried Chicken

The All American Burger served with seasoned fries is a heaven of traditional savory tastes, all between a light and fluffy bun that let’s its contents take the spotlight.

After 37 Years, The Shamrock Keeps Growing

The Shamrock’s Steamed Clams will satisfy seafood lovers and garlic gastronomers, as the plate serves up Little Neck clams in a garlic broth with a mix of herbs, paired with garlic bread toast. and Mac ($12) brings together four cheeses, truffle oil, topped with lightly breaded, panko crusted fried chicken.

The blend of monterey jack, cheddar, mozzarella and pecorino prove to be a winning combination of savory and creamy cheeses that are made even richer with the truffle infusion. The chicken itself is generously cut and adds crispness with each spoonful.

The Shrimp and Clams Chop Chop ($21) brings together whole Little Neck clams, sauteed with garlic, plum tomatoes, escarole, tossed with linguini and pecorino cheese. Fitting for this seaside establishment, this dish takes a turn from normal pub offerings for a lighter, yet deeply satisfying seafood plate. The shrimp and clams are cooked to perfection, yielding a texture that absorbs the swirl of flavors from their companions.

Going back to basics, the All American Burger ($10) comes with fries, onion rings, coleslaw or potato salad. Served medium, the beef is remarkably flavorful, delicately tender and juicy. The fries were also richly seasoned, making this classic barside treat that much more robust.

Among their variety of tacos, are the Korean Steak or Fish Tacos ($16) which include marinated steak or fish, topped with pickled Asian slaw on grilled corn tortillas with a choice of side. Also served, are the Baja Fish Tacos ($16), also served on a corn tortilla with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole and sour cream for a traditionally tasty taco. The tortillas taste

How Do Direct Rollover, Indirect Rollover Differ?

By Jon L. Ten Haagen, CFP ® asktheexpert@longislandergroup.com

This is a very serious issue and if you get it wrong it will cost you big time.

Please pay attention because every one of us with a qualified plan with our employer will have this possible situation down the road.

If you’re eligible to receive a taxable distribution from an employersponsored retirement plan (like a 401k, 403b and 457), you can avoid current taxation by instructing your employer to roll the distribution directly over to another employer plan or IRA. With a direct rollover, you never actually receive the funds, meaning you do not touch the funds.

You can also avoid current taxation by actually receiving the distribution from the plan and then rolling it over to another employer plan or IRA within 60 days following the receipt. This is called a ‘60 day’ or ‘indirect’ rollover.

But if you choose to receive the funds rather than making a direct rollover, your plan is required to with-

hold 20 percent of the taxable portion day, rollover from any IRA you own of your distribution. You’ll get credit (traditional or ROTH) to any other for the amount withheld when you file IRA you own in any 12-month period. your federal tax return.

Students Fight Hunger

Principal Michael Genovese and students Kevin Carroll, left; James Murray, center; and Oliver Gutleber, right; with Norwood Avenue Elementary School’s annual winter food drive donations.

Norwood Avenue Elementary School students and their families participated in the school’s annual winter food drive earlier this month.

Sponsored by the Norwood Avenue PTA, the school community donated 130 pounds of food to the Ecumenical Food Pantry at the First Presbyterian Church in Northport.

Led by Norwood PTA Food Drive Chairperson Annette Garcia, students

were invited to take part in the drive from Jan. 9-13 by donating nonperishable food items to those in need throughout the week and place them on a table in the school’s main hallway. The PTA has held the annual winter food drive for more than 10 years in an effort to empower students to lend a hand to those less fortunate.

A similar food drive will take place in the spring.

WALT’S CORNER

Field Six In February Overhead, ravenous irruptions of seagulls squabble over remains of a baggie, as they pilfer beak from beak, wing tips almost entangling in evasive tactical maneuvers of a fierce mid-air flyby.

Sustenance on frost crusted shores escalates into non-stop tug of war as metal trash containers are toppled for a single Styrofoam cup, a crumpled donut wrapper.

Just past the Jones inlet, a few keener, wiser eyes scan and troll the horizon for trawlers tossing leftover chum and viscera into prevailing winter winds.

There is no celebratory chorus in the plaintive litany of hunger; only the seagulls’ soulful dirge of survival.

Walt Whitman

Joan Vullo Obergh Seaford Walt’s Corner is edited by George Wallace, former Suffolk County poet laureate, and honors founder Walt Whitman. Submissions of original poetry, short stories, photographs and drawings are welcomed. Send items to Long-Islander Newspapers, 14 Wall Street, Huntington, NY, 11743. Submissions cannot be returned.
