M U S IC Midge: From Odd Musical Upbringing To Storied Career SPOTLIGHT

By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

Growing up in the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland, a young Jim Ure was constantly listening to the variety of music on the few stations that his family’s radio picked up.

“I don’t think we had a television until I was in my early teens, so the radio was always on,” Ure said.

He was subject to everything from classical symphonies, to Frank Sinatra and early pop music.

The somewhat odd musical upbringing molded Ure into a musician who would go on to produce multiple hits with the bands Silk, Thin Lizzy, Rich Kids, Visage and British rock band Ultravox, for which he most famously served as front man.

“Music was in my soul before I ever decided that I was going to go down that road,” Ure said.

Ure, 64, is commonly known by his nickname “Midge,” a nickname he said was thrust upon him as a young musician in the Glasgow music scene. There was already a Jim in the first band he joined, so Ure had to find a new name.

The conversation, he said, went something like this: “Well, we can’t have two Jims, so you’re now Midge,” which is the phonetic sound of Jim spelled backwards.

As Ure’s career grew throughout

the ’70s and early ’80s, he found his greatest success when he joined Ultravox. The band’s hit song “Vienna” was released in 1980, and, much to Ure’s surprise, has recently featured on several popular television series, including “13 Reasons Why” and “The Assassination of Gianni Versace.”

“It’s strange that in the last year or so music that I made 45 years ago has started to appear in American television series,” Ure said with a laugh. “It’s so bizarre — people find your music in the most unusual ways.”

Looking back on his extensive music career, Ure said his time with Ultravox stands out because the band found success “against all odds.”

“It was an incredibly creative, exciting period… mixing the electronic synthesizers and drum machines with traditional rock instruments,” Ure said.

Ure is also widely known for writing the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” for Band Aid, the musical supergroup he co-founded with Bob Geldof to raise money for the 1983-1985 famine in Ethiopia.

Band Aid, which consisted of 36 of the biggest British and Irish musicians at the time, sold over a million copies of the Christmas song within the first week of its release.

“We knew if we could make a Christmas song with all of our friends helping us and get it to number one it would sell twice as much as a number one any other time of the year,” Ure said.

One of those friends is fellow Band Aid musician Paul Young, who

is co-headlining with Ure the upcoming show at The Paramount.

The show will feature a cross section of Ultravox hits and some of Ure’s solo work, with the possibility of Ure and Young performing on stage

together for the first time.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show on Thursday, June 7.

Tickets are $19.99-$49.50 and can be purchased at the box office or online at Paramountny.com.

Northport Equestrian Team Fosters Friendship Photos courtesy of Laura Kluberdanz

Good News.

We Got it!

The Stonyhill Equestrian Center Interscholastic Equestrian Association riding team is hosting Saturday an open house fundraiser at their riding facility on 929 Fort Salonga Road in Northport.

By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

A local equestrian center is hosting an open house this weekend to help raise funds to support its competitive horseback riding team.

The Stonyhill Equestrian Center on Fort Salonga Road in Northport started an Interscholastic Equestrian Association riding team last year for middle and high school students from local high schools.

The Stonyhill team consists of 17 girls and one boy and competes against other teams in IEA zone two, which includes teams across New York State.

Laura Kluberdanz, whose 11-yearold daughter Emily competes on the Stonyhill team, said the open house serves dual purposes.

“It lets people know that Stonyhill is here if you are interested in riding,

and will raise funds to offset the cost of the upcoming show season,” Kluberdanz said.

Kluberdanz said money raised from the open house will go towards covering entry fees for the team, the cost incurred from co-hosting an IEA event, the cost of uniforms and other expenses.

Although Emily only started riding competitively last year with the Stonyhill IEA team, Kluberdanz said her daughter and the rest of the team are learning valuable life skills.

“It’s being disciplined in what you’re doing, staying poised and working as a team,” Kluberdanz said.

“There are a lot of other sports out there, and I don’t think a lot of people really know what the sport of horsemanship is all about.”

The riders compete in a number of different events, but each requires that the rider control a horse that he or she has never ridden before while maintaining perfect posture and executing precise movements.

“You can see the riders transform once they get in the ring; it’s really nice to watch,” Kluberdanz said.

Although there is an individual aspect to the sport, Kluberdanz said, the Stonyhill team has a level of camaraderie that you don’t often see.

“The kids are there to learn, to enjoy it and to cheer each other on,” Kluberdanz said. “You see the older girls helping the younger girls and cheering them on.

The Stonyhill IEA team open house is scheduled for Saturday, June 2 from 1-5 p.m., rain or shine, at the stables (929 Fort Salonga Road, Northport).

THE FOODIES

By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

East Northport’s newest coffee shop has much more to offer than a tasty cup of Joe. Brownstones Coffee, a Long Islandbased breakfast chain that opened its third location earlier this month on Larkfield Road, has received an “overwhelmingly positive” response from the East Northport community, said founder Manny Kourounis.

Kourounis, who grew up in a brownstone in Brooklyn, launched the business in 2002 in Amityville as a coffee shop. Eight years later, Kourounis, who runs Brownstones with help from son Christopher and business partners John Mangino and Christina Walberg, entered the restaurant scene when he debuted a small menu with food items.

That laid “the foundation,” he said, and “then we began to expand and elevate the flavors.”

In 2015, a fire at the Amityville location spurred Brownstones’ expansion into East Northport and West Islip. (The Amityville location has since re-opened.)

Brownstones’ menu has also expanded to feature a full array of breakfast and lunch items that Kourounis has researched to help keep the restaurant “trendy.”

Walberg said Brownstones enjoys a very loyal customer base, something she is sure will develop at

the East Northport location as well.

The comfortable and casual décor inside the restaurant puts diners at ease, something Kourounis said is very important at Brownstones.

“We want the restaurant to be a place where people can escape from life,” Kourounis said. “We want people to forget about the world and just enjoy themselves.”

The quick and friendly service at Brownstones is the result of an experienced staff, and a kitchen and menu designed for efficiency.

Foodies looking for a sweet start to their day can try one of Brownstones popular espresso drinks, like the Peanut Butter Cup Latte. This delicious drink is perfect for diners who want to change up their morning routine and forgo the usual cup of coffee.

From the breakfast menu, the French Toast Bites ($9.99) is one of Brownstones most popular and playful dishes.

The French toast squares are topped with fresh berries, bananas, strawberries and powdered sugar.

The bites are cooked to a perfect golden brown, and have a sweetness that pairs well with the fresh fruit. A healthy dose of syrup is the perfect addition to tie this dish together.

Moving on, the Avocado BLT Benedict ($12.99) features eggs, hickory smoked bacon, grilled tomatoes, hollandaise sauce, lemon dressed baby arugula and sliced

avocado over toasted ciabatta bread.

The ciabatta is the perfect base for the rich, creamy hollandaise sauce the envelopes the bacon, tomato and scrambled eggs, while the avocado and arugula cut through the richness of the dish to provide a nice balance.

The dish bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch.

On the lunch menu, the Everything Seed Bacon Sriracha Avocado Toast ($12.99) includes fresh avocado spread, bacon, sliced hard boiled eggs, everything bagel

seeds mix and Sriracha on multigrain toast.

The textures of the avocado spread and the hardboiled eggs are a perfect complement to the crispy bacon and the crunchy toast. The seasoning from the everything bagel seeds add a second layer of flavor to the dish that ties all of the ingredients together.

Despite the hard work that goes into running the three Brownstones locations, Kourounis said “seeing the customers smile” makes his job worthwhile.

‘Singin’ In The Rain’ Makes A Big Splash At

By Janee Law

info@longislandergroup.com

Engeman Theater’s latest production is making a big splash with audiences.

The May 19 showing of the Northport Village theater’s “Singin’ in the Rain” production, with its high-energy tap-dancing numbers and comedic performances, was met with a standing ovation.

Audience member Lisa Malaszczyk, of Garden City, called it “pure fun” and praised its spectacular dance numbers.

Engeman’s production is directed and choreographed by Drew Humphrey, with musical direction by Jonathan Brenner.

The production is an adaptation of the hit 1952 musical film of the same name, a romantic comedy that starred Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor and Jean Hagen.

Mirroring that of the film, the ensemble for

Engeman’s production is talented and agile, producing lively tap dancing sequences that had audience members beaming with delight from start to finish.

Danny Gardner portrays the charismatic Don Lockwood and is unforgettable and alluring in the role, embodying a young Gene Kelly, who played the character in the film.

Gardner’s solo performance of title number “Singin’ in the Rain” dazzles as he passionately taps across the stage, making a splash in the process, while showing off his huge grin.

The number went over swimmingly with audience member Skip Laisure, of Garden City, who called it his favorite number of the night.

“There was real rain on the stage.

You don’t see that all the time,” he said.

Along with “Singin’ in the Rain,” tap dancing numbers “Fit as a Fiddle,” “Moses Supposes” and “Good Mornin’” kept audience members’ eyes glued to the stage.

Along with Gardner’s, mesmerizing performances are dealt out

by Tessa Grady, who plays the charming and feisty Kathy Selden; and Brian Shepard, who depicts the energetic and comical Cosmo Brown.

Danny Gardner, left, dazzles audience members portraying the lovestruck Don Lockwood in the iconic scene from “Singin’ in the Rain.” Co-star Tessa Grady, above right, charms as the love interest, Kathy Selden, in the John W. Engeman Theater’s production of the classic musical through July 1.

Laughter intensified whenever Emily Stockdale walked on stage, as her high-pitched voice and spoton portrayal of Lina Lamont had the audience howling throughout the show.

The fun-filled dance number “Good Mornin’” sees Gardner, Grady and Shepard take the stage together, and the trio’s chemistry is alluring.

The number is Shepard’s favorite, he said after the show, praising his fellow cast members.

For Shepard, performing in the show is a personal accomplishment, he said, as it was the 1952 film that first inspired him to join the entertainment industry.

“I saw ‘Singin in the Rain’ when I was 12 years old and it ultimately was the reason why I went and took a dance class,” Shepard said. “I was obsessed with Gene Kelly and Donald O’Conner, I wanted to be those guys.”

SPECIAL TO

something special about Northport Village TWithhere’s its harbor, village, beaches and parks,

Northport oozes a charm that’s boosted by the hustle and bustle of a downtown overflowing with boutiques and restaurants.

The result is a lively locale on Long Island’s fabled Gold Coast.

And Northport’s charm dates back hundreds of years.

Main Street and the downtown area retain a 19th-century flavor with well-preserved architecture, including numerous restored homesteads. An iconic sight, the trolley track haven’t been used since the early 1900s, but still run down the center of Main Street.

Follow the tracks and find the beautiful waterfront park that is a beloved gathering place for concerts, festivals and celebrations, not to mention countless wedding photos. And it makes a great place for warm summer day picnics, too.

As for the many unique boutiques, gift and antique shops, they’re full of life amid the historical setting.

What is today Northport Village was first discovered by European settlers in the 1600s. But the name Northport wasn’t bestowed until the early 19th century, when the village took its place as one of the North Shore’s finest. It was formally incorporated in 1894.

Northport today has evolved as shipbuilding declined. The village bought up the land along the harbor and created the waterfront park that’s so popular today. The downtown shops, many topped with apartments, are a model downtown by modern standards. It’s walkable with access to shops and services, and boasts a lively cultural scene and recreational attractions.

Engeman Theater song-and-dance routine “Make ’Em Laugh,” a high-energy and hysterically-exhausting performance in which he performs several stunts and gags to incite laughs from the crowd.

On the role as a whole, he said, “It’s interesting finding the right balance of clowning, zaniness and being truthful.

That’s what’s fun for me and maybe a little bit challenging, trying to stay real and stay really heightened, while

emulating Donald O’Connor.”

Performances of “Singin in the Rain” continue at the 250 Main St. theater in Northport Village each Thursday and Friday, 8 p.m.; Saturday, 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, 2 p.m.; through July 1. There are also select Wednesday, 8 p.m. and Sunday, 7 p.m. shows.

business Spotlight On

Huntington Business

By Andrew Wroblewski awroblewski@longislandergroup.com

The first microbrewery to open in Huntington village is also the perfect first step for those seeking to dip their toes into Long Island’s every-growing craft beer scene.

“We wanted to make something different, we wanted to bring the operational experience to the forefront,” said Mark Heuwetter, who along with his wife Karen, opened Six Harbors Brewing Company at 243 New York Ave. earlier this month.

Stepping inside the cozy space, whether it be through the front doors or one of two flanking garage doors, patrons are greeted by a mix of nautical- and industrial-themed décor, from sea walls, woodwork and barrels that double as tables, to stainless steel of brewing equipment and tap system.

Most of that steel is perched behind the bar, where four fermenters typically serve as a conversation starter for those curious about how the beer is made.

“People want to hear the story, how you got started, what’s going on with the equipment,” said Heuwetter, who first starting brewing in college. “My roommates and I couldn’t afford to go out to bars so we bought a beer kit to make beer in our dorm room, and fermented it in the closet. We had a lot of fun with it.”

That fun has since turned to passion as Heuwetter joined circles of local brewers to discuss recipes, learn new techniques and try some of the suds being produced in the Long Island area. “You pick up a lot of knowledge that way.”

He’s finding his clientele at Six Harbors is just as eager to learn about the process. “They come to learn more about beer so they have that knowledge for the next bar or brewery they go to.”

The conversation regarding Six Harbors’ beer begins with New Zealand and ends with Huntington.

Heuwetter collaborates on recipes with Brian Watson, who is based across the pond and develops a wort (the first step of the brewing process) that is then shipped to Huntington. The brewing process continues at Six Harbors as spices, yeast and more are added to the mix as it ferments under pressure in the tanks behind the bar.

In around two weeks, the beer is ready to flow.

There are currently six brews on tap – Heuwetter said he plans to have more moving forward, along with ciders, flavored seltzers and non-alcoholic sodas.

For now, the tap list begins with the Bay Hills Blues, a “summer-sipping” wheat beer with a subtle blueberry flavor. A contrast to the subtle blueberry beer is the Captain Blood Orange, which has an inyour-face fruity flavor that packs a punch, but is limited in availability.

Moving on, the Lloyd Harbor LiteHouse Lager is light and easy-drinking; and the Centerport Pilsner is brewed in a Czech-style that produces bold flavor up front, and the bitterness of hops on the backend.

Speaking of hops, there are three, “smooth” India pale ales (IPAs) to try.

Find Your Harbor At Village’s First Brewery

Above: Mark Heuwetter serves up a pint at the newly-opened Six Harbors Brewing Company in Huntington village.

Inset: Two of the brewery’s offerings, the Young Professionals Ale and Huntington Harbor Hoppy.

The first is the Walt Whitman White XPA, a suitable introduction to the IPA scene, Heuwetter said, as it’s not too bitter.

The next step up is a New England-style hazy IPA, the Young Professionals Ale – which was brewed in collaboration with the Huntington Chamber’s Young Professionals.

Then there’s the Huntington Harbor Hoppy DIPA (H3), which is packed with flavor up front, but not as bitter as one might suspect on the back end.

Certain beers – those that are named after one of Huntington six harbors; not all are available just yet – are part of Six Harbors’ charity series. A portion of proceeds from sales of each of those beers are donated to a charitable cause in town. For example, H3 is linked to St. Hugh of Lincoln in Huntington Station.

Beer is served in the tasting room in two forms: pints ($7) and flights ($10).

There’s also plenty to explore in that tasting room, which has plenty of seating, an electronic fireplace, board games, a television, Wi-Fi and more.

Packaged chips and pretzels are available for purchase, and Heuwetter said he also plans to partner with local restaurants to offer other food options.

The brewery is also frequented by Huntington village’s newest celebrity, Buddy the brew dog, the Heuwetters’ one-year-old, smiley retriever who loves to greet patrons.

When it’s time to say goodbye, beer can be taken to-go in cans ($4 per 16 oz. can) or growlers ($8 for 32 oz.; $16 for 64 oz.). (Patrons can bring their own growler to fill for a reduced price.)

There are also plans to introduce a “Huntington Hops Beer Club” down the line that will offer special benefits for members.

In the meantime, Heuwetter wants to make Six Harbors one of the village’s “destination locations.”

He said, “For me, putting this together, it was Huntington or bust. I live in the town and thought it was something the town could use.”
