HISTORY
It’s 1936 Again At The Vanderbilt Vanderbilt Mansion in Centerport has been transported back to 1936, when Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan was enjoying a reunion of her friends in the women’s suffrage movement. As part of Vanderbilt’s popular, annual Living History tours, guides dressed as members of the Vanderbilt family and household staff tell stories about the mansion’s famous residents and their worldrenowned visitors. For more than a decade, Living History tours have been given through the elegant, 24-room, Spanish-Revival waterfront mansion, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Stories told on the tours are based on the oral histories of people who worked for the Vanderbilts as teenagers and young adults. Some stories originated in Mr. Vanderbilt’s books of his world travels and extensive sea journeys. This summer of 1936 was eventful. “The movie Captains Courageous with Spencer Tracy is playing in the theaters, and Agatha Christie’s new novel, Dumb Witness, is in the bookstores,” said Stephanie Gress, director of curatorial affairs. “Legendary aviator Amelia Earhart is lost at sea in July, and European leaders are faced with threats of German expansion. The U.S. Post Office has just issued a commemorative stamp in honor of the women’s voting rights activist and social reformer Susan B. Anthony on the 30th anniversary of her death in 1906.” Living History tours are given Saturdays and Sundays at 12:30 p.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets are $8 per person and available at the door only. The museum is also now displaying items in two guest rooms that commemorate the centennial of women’s right to vote in New York State. For more info, visit Vanderbiltmuseum.org.

Council Celebrates 55th Anniversary, Honors Trio The Huntington Arts Council recently celebrated its 55th anniversary by a trio of locals artists. Lisa Hock Mack, director of
Huntington Fine Arts; Stan Brodsky, an artist; and Robert Carter, an artist and educator; were honored at the May 17 celebration hosted at Huntington Fine
Lisa Hock Mack comes from a strong creative heritage. Forty years ago, she founded Lisa Hock, Inc, creating commissioned artwork for corporations and private entities across the country. Another division of her company focuses on portfolio preparation and college counseling for art students. Her quest in life is to help as many children that she can creatively, and without exclusivity. Painting is her passion, and inspiring young people to pursue their dreams is her mission. She became the director of Huntington Fine Arts 27 years ago, when she met her late husband, Joseph Mack, a master sculptor, who founded the studio in 1971. His philosophy of artistic individuality was deeply rooted into the core of HFA. The organization works closely with their students to compile portfolios that mirror their inner being. This preparation allows them to apply to the best colleges in the country and achieve the scholarships they deserve. These students are the next generation, and knowing that creativity is a freedom and a power, they will positively impact our society through their artistic pursuits.
Stan Brodsky spent his childhood in Brooklyn, Greenwich Village and New York City after serving as a soldier in World War II. He was fortunate to study in Missouri and Iowa, receiving his bachelor’s degree in photo journalism and a master’s in painting; and later his doctorate in art education from Columbia. Brodsky has been an exhibiting artist for more than 50 years. His passion for
painting is as strong now as ever. He has traveled extensively absorbing the colors and textures of new landscapes. His career has been recognized with an extensive list of awards and exhibitions in a vast number of galleries such as June Kelly Gallery, Lerner-Heller Gallery, Mortimer Brandt Gallery, Heckscher Museum of Art, Nassau County Museum of Art, Parrish Art Museum, Butler Institute of American Art, Municipal Gallery, Regensburg. He has also held several academic positions: professor of art, director of studio programs at LIU, CW Post; professor emeritus of art at LIU, Brookville; and assistant professor at University of Delaware.
Dix Hills resident Robert Carter is a native of Louisville, Kentucky, where at an early age he was receptive to line, color and form, having an intuitive feeling for design. His sensitivity to detail became the legacy and abiding thread that connects the continuum of his art and distinguishes his art of today. The dignity of the human spirit reigns within the people of his compositions, uplifted by the virtuosity of his hand and understanding of human nature. Carter earned his master of fine arts degree at Pratt Institute of Fine Arts in New York. As an artist/illustrator his work is in the permanent collections of museums and private collectors throughout the U.S., numerous art books, as well as his work as a contract illustrator for major New York publishers. Carter is a professor of art at SUNY Nassau Community College, where he teaches drawing, painting and design. He is a sought-after lecturer and demonstrator in numerous public schools, universities and private art organizations.
member Tonito Valderrama donated his time to install a unique environmental art display reflecting his relationship and appreciation of nature. The event also focused on the programs the Huntington Arts Council provide, such as promoting student artwork. “The Huntington Arts Council is grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the arts community in the Huntington Fine Arts, such an inspiring space. Thank you to the honorees, HAC staff, members of the board, event committee, sponsors, donors and the community. The 55th Anniversary Celebration was a success in so many ways. It truly was a unique, inspiring event,” said Executive Director Marc Courtade.

DECORATIVE ARTS
‘Age Of Tiffany’ At The Heckscher By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com
The Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington has a new exhibition that features works of art by a worldrenowned glassmaker from the turn of the 20th century with several Long Island connections. Works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, who revolutionized the art of stained glass, are the centerpiece of the “The Age of Tiffany: Between Nouveau and Deco” exhibition at the Heckscher Museum. The exhibition, which opened in April, includes art from the museum’s own collection of Tiffany and other artist, as well as a stained glass window that was loaned to the museum by The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in Queens. Lindsay Parrot, executive director and curator of The Neustadt, said the loan is particularly meaningful because August Heckscher, founder of the Heckscher Museum, was a notable client of Tiffany’s. Lisa Chalif, curator of The Heckscher Museum of Art, said many of the objects came through a donation from the
Baker/Pisano Collection, while many of the Tiffany material was acquired from a donation by Theresa A. Cwierzyk and Sidney Gordon. “The Tiffany works are the earliest decorative arts in our collection, and we started there because of Tiffany’s association with Long Island,” Chalif said. Tiffany, who was born in 1848 and died in 1933, lived and worked during a period of intense interest with interior decoration and decorative arts, and he produced a broad range of stained glass windows, lamps and vases using innovative new techniques that Chalif said were inspired by an exposure of American artists to international influences. The artist founded Tiffany Studios in 1902 and manufactured many of his works in glass furnaces in Corona, Queens.
“The exhibit is a really stunning presentation,” Chalif said. “The gallery looks very rich and full, and the Tiffany objects are really beautiful.” In 1905, Tiffany designed and decorated his own home, Laurelton Hall, in the village of Laurel Hollow. “The fact that Tiffany lived on
Long Island so close to The Heckscher Museum is definitely a reason that we want to show Tiffany work,” Chalif said. The “Age of Tiffany” exhibition will be on display at The Heckscher Museum of Art until July 22, and for more information visit Heckscher.org.

COMEDY
SPOTLIGHT By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com
Jim Breuer has had his mind made up about becoming a professional comedian since he was a 16-year-old at Valley Stream Central High School, and now the native Long Islander has the chance to perform in front of his hometown fans every month. Breuer, 50, is already four months into his gig as a resident comic at The Paramount in Huntington, and his popularity doesn’t seem to be wearing thin. Breuer sold out his first three shows, and it appears that the trend will continue when he takes the stage Saturday night for his one-man show that features stories, improve, music and special guests. Governor’s Comedy Club in Levittown was the site of Breuer’s first ever stand-up comedy performance after he graduated from high school, and it eventually led Breuer to make a move down to Florida in 1989 to continue his career. Breuer joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live” from 1995-1998, and in 1998 he starred in the movie “Half Baked.” Breuer also featured in the Kevin James comedy T.V. series “Kevin Can Wait” on CBS, which was canceled by the network last month. Growing up in Nassau County, Breuer was always an avid fan of the New York Mets, and he has continued to uses his fame to support his childhood team. Breuer’s career has brought him back to Long Island on countless

Military Vet Set Up With New Wheels Thanks To Northport VA Hospital In honor of Military Appreciation Month, an Operation Enduring Freedom Army Veteran was gifted a 2013 Toyota Prius. Connor Kirk served in Afghanistan until 2016, but endured struggles when coming back to the states. Eager to move forward, Kirk got in contact with the Northport VA Medical Center, and officials helped him get back on his feet. He also recently received a new car as part of the Recycled Rides program run by the National Auto Body Council, a nonprofit dedicated to developing, implementing and promoting community-based initiatives. The Northport VA nominated Kirk for the program. “This is just a blessing, I can’t take the smile off my face,” Kirk said at the Recycled Rides event, which was held at Village of Patchogue Fire Department. Kirk, who currently works two jobs, plans to attend college and start a new career within the next few years. Along with The Collison Centers, Driving 4 Changed hosted the Recycled Rides event. Also, Allstate insurance donated the vehicle; The Collision Centers of Patchogue repaired the Toyota Prius; Collision Diagnostic, Apple Honda, Pro Tech Locksmith and Kemperle Paint donated parts and services; and Enterprise Rent-A-Car donated refreshments. “It is always amazing to me that so many people and organizations come together to do good,” said Madison Larson, HR Manager at The Collision Centers. “It makes NABC’s Recycled Rides program such a great thing to be a part of. Watching the smile on the recipient’s face makes it all worth it.” Also in attendance were Patchogue Councilman Neil Foley; State Assemblyman Dean Murray; and Suffolk Legislator Robert Calarco; Beth Hanlon, of Riverhead Allstate; and Kourtney Bevis, of PMYCS.

Animal Hospital To Host Client Appreciation Party By Joseph Marasciullo
info@longislandergroup.com
Dr. Jeff Kramer and the Huntington Animal Hospital will host a party celebrating the 66th anniversary of the practice this weekend. The client appreciation party, to be held Saturday, is also open to the public and will be held at the 113 Walt Whitman Road hospital in Huntington Station. The Huntington Animal Hospital is a family-owned practice that mainly cares for dogs and cats. The practice provides a wide range of veterinary services; including surgical services, diagnostic appointments, dentistry services, pharmaceutical services, xray and radiology services; and boarding services. This is the second time that Huntington Animal Hospital has held a client appreciation party. It was held once before back in 2012 for the 60th
anniversary of the practice. Kramer said the idea for the event came from his staff members, who wanted to celebrate the practice’s new clients and the 60th anniversary of the practice. The event will include free food, raffles and other giveaways. Various medical professionals from Huntington Animal Hospital will also be in attendance. Pets are welcome, of course, and all proceeds will be donated to Pet Peeves. The self-proclaimed “voice of Long Island Pets,” Pet Peeves is a Long Island-based nonprofit that raises funds and awareness for animal shelters of all kinds across the island. “Whatever we collect is going to do a lot of good for a lot of animals,” Kramer said. The fun kicks off at 1 p.m., Saturday and will run through 4 p.m. For more information, visit Huntingtonanimalhospital.com, or call 631423-7020.

THE FOODIES
American Classics Done Right At Brews Bros. Award-winning wings, quality ingredients and a welcoming, pubstyle atmosphere are a recipe for success at the recently-opened Brews Brothers Grille in Huntington village. Owners Brian Clermont and Mike Weinberg opened the original Brews Brothers location in Franklin Square in 2009, and just last month expanded the brand to its new Wall Street location. The two-story restaurant features a full bar and seating area on both levels. The second floor has a beer hall style feel with long wooden tables and benches, while the first floor has a more traditional seating area accented by exposed brick and wood. Clermont, of Huntington, said he is trying to bring back the kind of restaurant “that’s been missing” from Huntington. “I think we are trying to capture that old school Huntington atmosphere,” Clermont said. “We figured if you can do it in Huntington, you can do it anywhere on Long Island.” Clermont’s experience in the kitchen and Weinberg’s knowledge of beer has helped to distinguish Brews Brothers as what Clermont described as an “American style pub.” The 40 beers on tap, including a selection of Long Island brews, and walls lined with televisions on both floors make Brews Brothers the perfect place to watch a game. Clermont said the menu, which is executed by chef Chris Fusaro, exemplifies his adherence to the KISS-Keep It Simple Stupidphilosophy in the kitchen.

Owner Brian Clermont and chef Chris Fusaro have designed an American pub-style menu at Brews Brothers that features their burgers and award winning wings.
“Everything is fresh, everything is cooked to order and we try to use ingredients in multiple ways to create well-rounded food,” Clermont said. Brews Brothers has the credentials to back up the claim that they have some of the best wings around. Clermont’s Cajun style dry rub and medium Buffalo sauce took first and second place, respectively, at the U.S. Wing Championship in Buffalo. The Wings ($8 for six) are seasoned and cooked in the oven at high heat before being fried to order, Clermont said, a process that keeps the wings juicy and moist on the inside while retaining a crispy skin. The Cajun rub infuses into the meat of the wing that adds a depth of flavor to the dish. The wings are plump and have plenty of meat on the bone that provides a good contrast to the skin.
The medium Buffalo sauce has a moderate level of spice that creeps up on you without overpowering the taste of the well-seasoned chicken. The heat from the sauce has a great taste as opposed to just burning the lips and tongue. From the sauce to the meat, these wings are truly delicious. In addition to the wings, the Brews Brothers menu features Asian Steak Tacos ($9) with shredded cabbage, bell peppers, fried onions, teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds. The steak is sliced thin and gets a great Asian flavor from the teriyaki sauce and sesame. The crispy onions and cabbage provide a nice crunch that adds a sense of texture to the dish. The burgers are another highlight of the Brews Brothers menu. The Classic Burger ($15) is topped with American cheese, bacon, lettuce,

tomato, onion and pickles. The burger’s simple seasoning allows the taste of the well-cooked beef to shine. The toasted bun and the crunch from the vegetables and bacon round out this classic, yet tasty burger. Clermont said interacting with customers and seeing them have a good time in his restaurants is what he enjoys most about his job. He said, “The look on their face when they bite into one of our burgers is what makes it all worth it.”

REST IN PEACE: Anthony Bourdain, an American celebrity chef considered by many as one of the most influential chefs in the world, died Friday. He was 61. Getting his start in New York City, running various restaurant kitchens in the late ’70s and early ’80s, Bourdain went on to pen New York Times bestseller “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly” that gave a behind-the-scenes look at restaurant kitchens and ultimately led to a deal with the Food Network. Along with “A Cook’s Tour” on Food Network, Bourdain also hosted several other food-centric shows, including “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations,” “The Layover” and “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.” CNN, on which Bourdain hosted “Parts Unknown,” said in a statement, “His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time.” Bourdain is survived by partner Asia Argento; daughter Ariane; and mother Gladys.
FOOD WASTE RESCUED: A local nonprofit that collects food and clothing to distribute to those in need recently announced that it rescued over 600,000 pounds of food waste across Long Island last month. The food was then shared with over 5,100 families, vets and seniors across Community Solidarity’s five Food Share locations; in addition to a large network of soup kitchens, food pantries and community organizations it supports. The value of this food rescued from the trash was around $1.56 million. “Community Solidarity is the only hunger relief organization on Long Island that rescues food 24/7, 365 days a week. We don’t take off for holidays and we operate around the clock. In the worst of weather, we’ll be there because hunger is always there,” Jerrylene John, volunteer operations manager, said. Every Tuesday Community Solidarity shares tens of thousands of pounds of fresh organic vegetarian and vegan groceries with hundreds of our fellow community members in Huntington Station. The Food Share is held at the intersection of Fairground Avenue and East 6th Street, beginning at 7 p.m., with the distribution of groceries at 8 pm. All in need are welcome.

“Dragon’s Breath,” that could cause frostbite, tissue damage and asphyxiation. Suffolk Health Commissioner Dr. James Tomarken said the food novelty is made by freezing cereal puffs in liquid nitrogen. The frozen cereal is then served in a cup and eaten using a skewer or similar utensil. When the frozen cereal is chewed, the cold condenses moisture in the consumer’s exhaled breath and give the appearance of breathing smoke. “If an item infused with liquid nitrogen is prepared or consumed incorrectly, it could have harmful health consequences,” Tomarken said. ”Liquid nitrogen can cause damage to a person’s skin and internal organs and, if inhaled, it can cause asphyxiation (lack of oxygen).” The state’s department of health is advising that precautions be taken when preparing or eating liquid nitrogen puffs as preparing the puffs in a manner that removes residual liquid nitrogen prior to serving effectively reduces the potential for injury. Food Service providers who intend to serve products using liquid nitrogen may contact the Suffolk health bureau at 631-852-5999 for guidance on handling and serving this product.

Market And Economic Conditions: ‘The Ledger’ By Peter J. Klein, CFA, CRPS, CAP pklein@hightoweradvisors.com
As the summer season begins, I am left pondering the current state of all things financial. One way I typically do that is by using a side-by-side, prosand-cons set-up. I call it, “the ledger.” On the pro side of things: • Index funds, or the passive school of investment management: So far in 2018, we have seen an off-the-charts $573 billion net inflow into these index-based equity strategies, while the active school (despite having strong outperformance YTD) only gleaned $30 billion. Again, it is the simple fact that these passive inflows move markets higher, in large part because index funds must be fully invested. In a passive strategy, there is no room for thought or questioning the market. It’s a one-decision function – follow whatever the market is doing.
So, while I have this on the positive side of the ledger, I hope my sarcasm is not lost on you. (Can passive strategies be seen as a self-fulfilling prophesy where more inflows beget higher prices which cause more inflows?). • There had been some chatter that the Fed may indeed be inclined not to overreact with hikes – maybe the 10year Treasury bond’s new 3 percent level will be a ceiling? Even Fed Governor Bullard sounded somewhat dovish on this account. • Trump’s approval rating inched higher as the Korean Summit moved closer in view. • Earnings reporting season came in very strong – without any major setbacks or hiccups. In fact, 62 percent of companies have beaten top line and bottom line estimates – a truly impressive showing. • Tax cuts seem to be flowing into corporate buybacks rather than CapEx spending. A Goldman Sachs report stated that S&P 500 companies are poised to buy back $650 billion of their shares in 2018 – the highest ever and topping the prior highest level in, wait
Regrets, I Have A Few By Mindy Wolfle info@longislandergroup.com
Although my monthly column is centered on all things business, I’m diverging a bit into the personal this June. In 1990, I changed jobs after 18 years with the Nassau County Department of Social Services. It was a scary leap, and one that came with a substantial pay cut. But I wanted to find out what was “out there” for me. I’d reached my wits end as a government employee and just knew that there was more I could do with my yet-to-be-discovered talents, so into the private sector I leaped. Fast forward to 2018. By now, I’ve been a career changer several times over and ventured into the world of entrepreneurism. What I’ve found out is that we all have the entrepreneurial spirit, if we just let ourselves tap into it. I’ve attended hundreds of meetings (more likely the thousands). I’ve been on
committees, chaired galas, served on boards of directors and been both a mentor and mentee. I’ve ventured into teaching and turning people onto new ideas and broadening their minds. I’ve expressed my point of view, quite often outside some standard expectation. I’ve made friends and trusted colleagues. It’s no surprise to those who know me that I’ve gotten myself in hot water and danced the dance of mea culpa. I’ve learned, too, to listen carefully and speak less when less can be more. Regrets, I have a few. Those memorable words, written by Paul Anka and sung for posterity by Frank Sinatra, have been cluttering my mind these past few days. My Android smartphone, which I purchased following Hurricane Sandy, is long overdue for replacement. The icon named “visible voicemail” read “no voicemails.” Growing suspicious late last week, I clicked on “call voicemail.” To my astonishment, I had 17 messages waiting to be retrieved. Most were of little or no
for it, 2007 (market top) at $589 billion (sarcasm here is intended as corporate buybacks have a poor timing track record – nevertheless a possible short term positive). Now for the other side of the ledger: • Valuations are still extended – on any metric one might want to choose, from Price-to-Sales, PE, Market Cap to GDP, debt levels – many are saying that there needs to be more downside to quell some of the excesses (in the “Everything Bull Market’s” run). • Market has tested support levels (moving averages) three times so far this year – volatility might be quiet recently but it is far from dead. • Quarterly earnings revisions for the second half of 2018 are a good deal less than the 18 percent for the first half. Can anyone say that the tax cuts are “baked in?” • Mortgage rates have jumped as have lumber prices which speak to signs of accelerating cost pressures. Remember, inflation is quite insidious. It may be lurking for a bit, then – watch out! • Bitcoin has fallen off a cliff, taking speculation with it, which hurts growth
consequence. One of devastating. Going back to 1990, where this article began, I needed a new haircutter. At my first job in the private sector, I supervised a young woman who recommended her friend Ginny to me. Ginny worked at a salon about one-half hour from my home. It turned out that we were down-the-block neighbors. I followed her to the next salon and then the next. We became each other’s cat sitters. We socialized a little, but mostly chatted while I was getting my hair clipped and colored. Hairdressers and their clients share an abundance of personal information in the safety of our mutual confidence. More recently, we texted a lot. In looking back at those texts, I see Ginny first mentioned not feeling well in April 2016. Long doctor visits and procedures began that August. More details emerged in 2017 and early 2018. An unwinnable cancer battle. I had to find a new hairdresser. I sent Ginny cards and gave her little gifts to make us both feel better. That devastating voicemail was from her husband, telling me of
stocks to some degree. • Profit margins are historically a mean reverting statistic in finance and when you add cost inflation pressures to the mix, you typically get a move to the downside. Current profit margins on the S&P are 12 percent, more than the 9 percent they were before the crisis 10 years ago. So, there you have it folks: “The Ledger.” I hope this empowers you to make your own ledger on how you see things in the markets and the economy.

Ginny’s passing. The regret and guilt I am feeling is palpable. If only I had heard that message when it came. If only she and I had stayed in contact throughout the past few months. We ran into each other at a fish market on Valentine’s Day. Things were looking optimistic with the introduction of immunotherapy. We never did make that lunch date that we spoke and texted about. Often, I have written about connecting with business people on a personal level. My professional and personal relationship with Ginny lasted almost 28 years. Yes, regrets, I have a few.

Working Towards Change With Baine Dawson
cbeach@longislandergroup.com
Nobody’s life is perfect, and for those looking to make an improvement or solve a problem in their marriage or family life, there is help available. Marriage and family therapist Baine Dawson offers a place where clients can work on problems, or just find someone to talk to, on Main Street in Huntington. “The goal of therapy is to make your client have a safe, supportive environment where they feel that they can open up,” Dawson said. “Many times people don’t have that safe place, so the first and most important step is to create that environment.” Dawson, who earned her master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from Hofstra University, said that when working with clients, especially children, it is important to address how the family “is contributing or working around” individual issues like anxiety, depression or behavior problems. In addition to working with children and families, Dawson said she also specializes in dealing with marital issues or couples in distress. “Anything from infidelity, thinking about a divorce, tragedy in the marriage, excessive fighting and alcohol or substance abuse,” Dawson said. Dawson originally opened her own practice on Walt Whitman Road in Huntington Station, but moved to her current office on Main Street in Huntington in 2015. Although she sometimes faces resistance to the changes that she recommends for families and couples,
Baine Dawson Marriage and Family Therapy Services 181 Main St., Suite 104, Huntington 516-342-7741
Marriage and family therapist Baine Dawson’s office on 181 Main Street in Huntington offers a supportive environment for families and couples to grow.
Dawson said it is rewarding to eventually see people work through their difficulties and grow. “I love meeting people, hearing their stories and seeing them change and grow,” Dawson said. Dawson said she has seen the negative stigma around therapy begin to decline in Huntington and more people are willing to seek help in overcoming obstacles in their marriage or family. “It is a good thing to want to go and get help, or if your family is struggling why not get some guidance,” Dawson said. People can seek the guidance of a family therapist for issues ranging from difficulties disciplining children to more drastic issues of arguing or fighting within the family, according to Dawson. “The major goal of therapy for couples is communication and understanding because sometimes you are coming from two completely different points of view, and can’t understand that their partner is seeing things a completely different
way,” she said. For families, Dawson said it is important for parents to maintain a position at the top of the structured family hierarchy. In children, she said it is important to teach coping mechanisms “to help manage their feelings and cope with them in a healthy way” as opposed to using drugs, alcohol or self-harm as a
form of coping. Whatever issue a client is trying to address, Dawson said there is always hope if they are willing to put in the effort. She said, “You can always make things better… the key is putting the work in. I believe that if you put the work in you will absolutely see some changes.”
