school Students Meet With Esteemed Scientists Nine Cold Spring Harbor high schoolers recently got the chance to meet esteemed scientists, including some Nobel Prize winners.

The students, part of the school’s Science Research Program spent Oct. 24 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory where they took part in the “Forty Years of mRNA Splicing: From Discovery to Therapeutics” meeting.

Research teacher Jaak Raudsepp accompanied the students to the meeting, which began with lectures by several prominent scientists describing their current research as it relates to diseases caused by errors in mRNA splicing. After a short break, the meeting reconvened with a panel discussion.

Scientists, including Nobel Prize winners Thomas Cech, Richard Roberts and Phillip Sharp, gave short presentations on their work, as well as their visions on what direction their current research may go.

The students also enjoyed a private lunch with Roberts, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1993, and Professor Joan Steitz, a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator at Yale University. There were lively discussions and ideas exchanged.

“It’s amazing to me that we had more than one hair cut event, and the fact that 15 years later it’s still going strong makes me so proud. I know these kids believe in it with all their heart. We’re going to keep on doing it until we can’t do it anymore.”

comedy A Night Of Laughs With Paula Poundstone SPOTLIGHT

By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

Anyone looking for a night full of laughs will get just that when comedian Paula Poundstone stops by The Paramount next Friday.

Poundstone, 57, grew up just outside of Boston, and always wanted to be a comedian for as long as she can remember.

“The first sentence of the summary letter written by my kindergarten teacher in May of 1965 said ‘I have enjoyed many of Paula’s humorous comments about our activities,’” Poundstone said.

In 1979 Poundstone started her career as a comic in Boston while busing tables to make ends meet.

“I was lucky enough to live in Boston when a couple of guys started producing stand-up comedy shows,” Poundstone said. “Comics have to come from somewhere, and

you have to be really bad for a long time before you get good. They started having open mike nights, so I was able to be bad while the others were being bad.”

Poundstone said that, as her career began to progress in Boston, she decided to travel around the country on a Greyhound bus in order to experience what clubs were like in other parts of the country. After stopping in a number of cities, Poundstone ended up in San Francisco where she found crowds who were looking to see unpolished comics.

The comic has since appeared in HBO comedy specials, and she holds the distinction of being the first woman to host the White House Correspondents Dinner in 1992. Poundstone said the experience was exciting and memorable, but it wasn’t one of her favorite performances.

“The Correspondents Dinner was really hard to do because the group of correspondents have a sort of been there done that attitude, and so they’re kind of hard to entertain honestly,” Poundstone said.

Poundstone’s two-hour show at The Paramount will be split between her

Paula Poundstone experiences raising a house full of three kids and pets and her favorite part of any show, taking to the audience.

“The truth is I don’t always know exactly what I’m going to talk about,” she said. “I have 38 years of material rattling around somewhere in my head; sometimes I grab some

of it, and on a good night, and I like to think some are, about a third of the night is unique to that crowd.”

Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show on Friday, Dec. 1. Tickets are $24.50-$54.50 and can be purchased at the box office or online at Paramountny.com.

theater Engeman’s ‘Annie’ Entertains, Melt Hearts

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

It both was and wasn’t a hard-knock life for the crowd at Thursday night’s showing of “Annie” at John W. Engeman Theater in Northport Village.

Following the performance, which included a brilliant rendition of the show’s most iconic tune, “It’s the Hard-Knock Life,” the audience erupted in a standing ovation for the talented cast.

Engeman’s production, which is directed and choreographed by Antoinette Dipietropolo, simultaneously tugs at heartstrings and keeps laughs and fun coming with its ensemble cast of talented young girls and adults, and a pair of canine companions.

Based on a popular comic strip, “Annie” was adopted into a musical and won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Engeman’s take on the classic production features unforgettable numbers like “It’s the Hard-Knock Life,” “Easy Street,” “New Deal for Christmas” and “Tomorrow.”

But the show begins with a New York City setting in December 1933.

From there, the audience follows the rags-to-riches story of Annie (portrayed by Presley Ryan), a warmhearted and fearless orphan girl who finds a father figure in Oliver War-

Cordelia Comando (as Tessie), Sophia Lily Tamburo (as Molly), Meaghan McInnes (as Duffy), Emma Sordi (as Kate) and Cassandra LaRocco (as July) making up the entertaining and sassy cast of orphaned girls in “Annie.” bucks (portrayed by George Dvorsky).

The relationship between Annie and Oliver Warbucks is captivating, charming and melts hearts.

Annie and her orphan companions keep the energy high through their performances of “It’s the Hard-Knock Life” and “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile,” during which they mix in-sync choreography with adorable sass.

Humor is found throughout the show, especially when Miss Hannigan (portrayed by Lynn Andrews)

Her comedic delivery is especially on point in “Little Girls,” and in the hysterically-dramatic dancing of “Easy Street.”

Audience members Wendy and Jef-

frey Balzer, both of Huntington, called the character one of their favorites.

“Miss Hannigan was fabulous,” Wendy said. “Her whole personality, her expression, the way she danced, and her energy. Everything about her was fabulous.”

Jeffrey added that, along with the (Continued on page 7)

dog Sandy (portrayed by Moon), the relationship between Annie and Oliver Warbucks was his favorite part of the show.

“I was very-well entertained,” Jeffrey said. “It was a great production.”

Ryan, the curly-haired redhead star of the show, said she loves the role.

“She is such a fun character to play.

She’s really spunky but then she’s also got that sweet side to her and she’s really vulnerable at times too.”

Ryan, 13, continued, “She’s one of the only main roles that a kid could play in a show like this so it’s really great that I get to do this because I’ve always wanted to play Annie.”

Discovering the different sides of Annie’s character was especially enjoyable for Ryan as she prepared for the role, she said.

“The changes throughout this show are so fun to do and finding all the different sides of her,” she said. “I love the songs and the show, and singing is so fun for me.”

Her favorite number is “Tomorrow,” during which she performs alongside Sandy, a stray dog.

The pairing keeps Ryan on her toes.

“You never know what’s going to happen… you never know if it’s going to go off the stage, so you have to be fully focused,” Ryan said, adding that

The relationship between George Dvorsky (as Oliver Warbucks) and Presley Ryan (as Annie) is captivating.. “it’s also such a fun song.”

“I love singing ‘Tomorrow’ and belting my face off,” she added.

Showings of “Annie” at Engeman Theater run through Dec. 31. Thursday and Friday showings are at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sundays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. There are some 8 p.m., Wednesday showings available, too.

Tickets ($73-$78) are available at the 250 Main St. box office or at Engemantheater.com.

Seven Quarts Tavern may have the word “tavern” on its sign out front, but the food inside the restaurant is far from traditional tavern fare.

Owner and manager Brian Adams, a Smithtown native, opened Seven Quarts Tavern on Fort Salonga Road in Northport just over two yearsago to fill what he said was lacking in the Northport restaurant scene.

But he also threw his hat into the ring Northport’s bustling bar scene.

“You can come here for craft beer, a nice glass of wine and good quality food made from scratch, and something a little different,” Adams said.

Adams described the food as “modern American with a gastro pub flare” that also features American style tapas on the menu. The tapas style dishes allow foodies to try many of the unique flavors from the tavern’s menu, and a large selection of regular appetizers and entrees allow for a more traditional dining experience.

The restaurant seats around 100, with a second floor space that can be used for private parties of up to 40, according to Adams.

More a restaurant than a bar, Seven Quarts’ exposed brick and fireplace give its space a cozy, homey atmosphere. The bar features 10 rotating seasonal craft beers, including those from Northport-based Sand City Brewing.

Seven Quarts Tavern is also rolling out a new seasonal menu, which The Foodies tasted last Thursday.

From the raw bar, the Peconic Bay Scallop Crudo ($16) is served with pomegranate, pistachios, yuzu, white soy and mint. This refreshingly light dish is the perfect start to a meal, with a complexity of texture and flavor that keeps the seafood in the forefront of the dish.

For salad lovers, the Baby Kale Caesar ($14) is an elevated version of the salad everyone knows so well.

Baby kale serves as a tastier basis for the salad in place of the usual romaine, and marinated white anchovies might seem like a strange twist, but the flavor from the Caesar dressing and Parmigiano-Reggiano compliment the marinade on the anchovies to form cohesion that vibes well.

For an entrée, the Classic Linguine and Clam ($22) features manila clams served with guanciale, garlic, white wine, parsley and rustic bread served over linguine. The guanciale, or pork cheek, completes the classic combination of pork and clams. This fresh take on classic flavors keeps you coming back for one more bite, and even when the pasta and clams are gone, the toasted bread is perfect to soak up the garlic and white wine sauce that is waiting in the bottom of the bowl.

From the selection of American tapas, the Berkshire Pork Belly ($15) is served with a cabbage and apple slaw and a maple bacon bourbon vinaigrette. The outside layer of crispy skin gives way to an incredibly tender piece of pork with a surprising depth of flavor. When combined with the citrus notes in the fresh slaw, one could almost call it the perfect bite. The maple and bour-

Quality Food, Craft Beer Paired At Seven Quarts

Seven Quarts Tavern owner Brian Adams described the restaurant’s food as “modern American with a gastro pub flare.” bon flavors linger, and are not lost in the dish.

There are dishes on the new menu to satisfy every taste bud, including shrimp and grits, and Adams said the restaurant is excited to offer special menu items for Thanksgiving Eve, Chanukah, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Adams praised the small town feel in Northport.

“There’s a nice camaraderie in this town, everybody knows each other,” Adams said, adding that the tavern has also attracted customers from beyond the town’s borders. “I think the people are the best part; they’re not ostentatious and they’re friendly.”

community ‘Locks Of Love’ Collects 63 Inches For Donation

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Ponytails swayed last week as Cold Spring Harbor students and staff marched through the doors of Leslie’s Hair Salon to join in on the 15th Annual Locks Of Love haircut fundraiser.

The Locks of Love Club, based out of Cold Spring Harbor High School, which currently has 30 members, is an adaptation of the organization Locks of Love, a nonprofit that helps children suffering from long-term hair loss due to alopecia areata or cancer. Hair between 10-15 inches can be donated to the organization.

The Nov. 14 event, hosted at Leslie’s Salon in Huntington, collected 63 inches of hair from five volunteers. Each strand will be donated to the organization.

Kathleen Fristensky, the club advisor and a Spanish teacher at the school, donated a total of 12 inches, making it the seventh time she has cut her hair for the cause.

Four students also cut their locks, with sophomore Elizabeth Erichson cutting 13 inches, senior Chloe Seccaficco cutting 14 inches, senior Davey Shammah cutting 14 inches, and sophomore Katie Marasciullo

cutting 10 inches.

“I’m always in awe that kids this age are willing to make a sacrifice and it’s so beautiful because they always get emotional,” Fristensky, of Northport, said. “I’m thrilled at all the support. It’s incredible.”

Again this year, Francesco Matrinelli, of East Northport-based Island Silkscreen, designed and donated t-shirts to those who attended the event.

The club is also continuing to raise financial funds for the headpiece, which go towards funding to have the headpieces made, which range $6,000-$7,000 each, Fristensky said.

She added, “Our greatest hope is to defray the cost of one headpiece.”

Fristensky started the school club 15 years ago and has since had 400 people donate their hair, with nearly $100,000 raised for funding headpieces.

Fristensky said the event is so inspiring that she already has girls and boys signed up to donate their hair for next year.

“It’s amazing to me that we had more than one hair cut event, and the fact that 15 years later it’s still going strong makes me so proud,” Fristensky said. “I know these kids believe in it with all their heart.

We’re going to keep on doing it until we can’t do it anymore.”

students first.”

Konop excels in knowing what her students need, and provides an incredible amount of support to help them get to where they need to be, according to a news release that cited many different staff members and students.

It’s time to start shopping for the holidays, and what better way to kick off the season than with Small Business Saturday. The annual tradition, sponsored by American Express, will be alive and well across the Town of Huntington this holiday season, including in Huntington village. Here’s a breakdown of what some of the village merchants will be offering.

BlueBird NY Boutique 324 Main St., Huntington 631-424-2053 Shopbluebirdny.com At BlueBird NY Boutique, owner Joanna Koelmel said she’ll be offering promotions both in store and online.

For every $100 or more spent in stores, customers will receive 20 percent off. For online shoppers, the boutique will be offering free shipping, plus 10 percent off the first order. This promotion will be for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and continue on Sunday. Koelmel said that Small Business Saturday spotlights the smaller stores around town. “People really make an effort to shop small, as opposed to going to the mall or big box stores,” she said. “They’re really trying to support the cause, which is nice.” Koelmel said her goal for the day is to exceed sales from last year’s Small Business Saturday event.

Christina Weber, manager of Scentsational, said she expects the store to have a good turnout for Small Business Saturday.

Ooh La La 306 Main St., Huntington 631-923-0851 Oohlalaboutiques.com To keep village-goers warm during Small Business Saturday, Ooh La La boutique will set up a table outside of its storefront to offer hot chocolate, sweets and a photo booth, Kathy McKee, manager of the Huntington location, said. The table will also feature Ooh La La winter items, such as gloves, scarves and hats. For the day, the boutique will be offering a gift for customers who make a purchase using American Express cards. McKee said the store constantly promotes the importance of shopping small. “If people don’t shop local, we’ll be gone and the town will be bars and restaurants,” she said. “We encourage people all the time to come in and shop small and we go out of our way to make sure people leave happy with their purchases.” McKee expects a huge turnout for the day to help kick off the holiday season.

Lot 356 Fashion Boutique 356 New York Ave., Huntington 631-385-0100 Lot356.com Lot 356 Fashion Boutique will have various sales throughout the store for the weekend of Small Business Saturday, owner Laurie Burlison said.

Sales will be on all store items, which include jewelry, accessories, dresses, and sweaters. In addition, the boutique is also offering a sale where customers can get $10 off each $100 spent, $20 off $200, or $30 off $300.

Burlison said it’s significant for local businesses to participate in Small Business Saturday to compete with big stores. “You need to encourage people to shop local,” she said. “It’s important to give good discounts to promote people to shop and utilize the small stores.”

Scentsational 259 Main St., Huntington 631-549-2090 Escentsational.com For those interested in shopping stunning fragrances, Scentsational will also be participating in Small Business Saturday, offering 20 per-

Along with its handmade fragrances, the store offers a variety of gift items, such as skin care, jewelry, and accessories. Weber added that the promotion will be offered for both Saturday and Sunday this weekend.

of business.” She added that they hope to have a busy day with sales. “We hope the town is booming on Saturday,” she added. “It’s good for the town and it’s good for all the businesses in the town.”

The women’s clothing store will also have a selection of sale merchandise for the day, and offer a variety of gift items under $25. Russo said that Small Business Saturday is a great day for the town, bringing in a lot of foot traffic to local stores. This year, the store will be offering new items, such as plus sizes, boots and booties.

She added, “I think we’re going to do even better this year than previous years because we have a lot more inventory.”

people Northport resident Anne Canadeo was recently honored by state Assemblyman Andrew Raia (R-East Northport) as a “Woman of Distinction” for her dedication to combatting hunger and promoting literacy through her volunteer work.

Canadeo is on the leadership team of the Huntington Interfaith Homeless Initiative, which feeds and shelters the homeless during the winter months, and manages Peace & Plenty, a program that meets each week at The Congregational Church of Huntington to make and distribute food.

She also coordinates “Books-RAwesome,” a free book fair and literacy event where thousands of books have been given out over the past 10 years.

Canadeo, who has a bachelor’s in literature from SUNY Stony Brook and a master’s in literature from Columbia University, is the bestselling author of over 30 books, including the “Black Sheep & Company” mysteries.

boating November Nautical Rituals

By Henrietta Schavran info@longislandergroup

The other day, under dreary gray skies, barely brightened by a pale sun, I brought my sailboat to its winter home. Although a short distance, the feeling of being on the water was both enjoyable and sad.

It is a feeling that comes when we realize the boating season is over and our ritual of winter storage begins.

Boats are delivered to marinas, boating clubs and even backyards.

Engines are winterized. Water systems are drained, personal items are taken home, lists are made, noting

repairs and improvements to be done the following spring. Our vessels are shrink-wrapped or covered with tarps, and we turn to other November rituals to be enjoyed.

We vote on Election Day, celebrate Veterans Day and enjoy the cherished ritual of Thanksgiving Day. In Huntington, we enjoy an extra special ritual on the day after Thanksgiving, watching the beautiful Parade of Lights. Huntington Harbor becomes ablaze with lights as 40-50 boats, all of them decorated with lights, sail past us. Some boats are decorated as Viking ships, others as dragons or whales, some with palm trees, others become Christmas fantasies even with Santa aboard.

In quiet moments at home, we re-

live the exhilarating and enjoyable days of summer boating and read boating books and magazines that recount the nautical adventures of others. We also read of the perils and dangers experienced by mariners in November’s past.

We marvel at the courage of the pilgrims who suffered arduous hardships on life threatening seas and high winds who landed at Plymouth Rock.

We read about less fortunate mariners who were shipwrecked in late autumn and during winter storms on Long Island Sound and especially near Eatons Neck. On Nov. 17, 1891, a severe gale with strong winds and dangerous seas hit Long Island Sound. The two-masted schooner, “Emma Jane,” with a crew

In 2005 she founded her own real estate company, successfully marketing and selling many homes on the water and further inland around the greater Long Island community.

Prior to working in real estate, Zimmermann had a successful career as a court reporter.

A resident of the waterfront Village of Asharoken for more than 26 years, Zimmermann is a sworn-in beach captain for the village and active in its Coastal Cleanup and Littoral Society, for which she organizes 300 community volunteers who as a group collect close to 5,000 lbs. of trash annually.

Zimmermann and her daughter are humbled to be Gold Star family members through the loss of Zimmermann’s husband, who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Notes

Nautical of two, was caught in the storm and capsized. One of the mariners, when thrown overboard, managed to hold on to a section of the floating ship.

The other, who could not swim, was swept away. Members of the lifesaving crew at the station launched a surf boat and were able to save one of the mariners, but the second was lost at sea.

We are fortunate that nautical Novembers are filled with joyful memories and are thankful to the Coast Guard and to other lifesaving maritime persons who protect those at sea. Their rituals add to the safety and wellbeing of all seafarers.

Enjoy your November nautical and land projects, and have a healthy Thanksgiving.

Huntington-based shelter has saved countless lives through decades Spotlight On

Huntington Businesses

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

In the 1920s, a one-armed dogcatcher with the Town of Huntington would round up all the strays in the area and keep them in a shed in his backyard until owners came to claim them.

Or not.

Unclaimed dogs would be ‘euthanized,’ which during that time period was done with a gunshot.

The process didn’t sit well with Anna Hunninghouse, who decided to make a change in 1927. After a fundraising campaign, she founded Little Shelter Animal Rescue & Adoption Center, the first shelter to open up in Suffolk.

Still operating out of its original location at 33 Warner Road in Huntington, the nonprofit, no-kill shelter spans 6 acres.

The property was originally purchased for $100 per acre, David Ceely, the shelter’s executive director, said.

“She got it running for quite a few years, but then in the ’50s and the ’80s it was kind of dormant,” Ceely, 48, of Lake Ronkonkoma, said. “It was open for maybe twice a week for an hour or so, and there weren’t many adoptions.

It was saving lives, but it wasn’t the machine that it is now.”

The shelter was in danger of closing before Maryanne Chernovsky stepped in to assist the shelter in 1990, he added.

Now, 27 years later and with Chernovsky serving as volunteer president, the shelter is open seven days a week and adopts out around 500-600 pets each year between both its dog and cat programs.

“What she’s done is really made the shelter focus on local, municipal shel-

David Ceely, executive director of Little Shelter Animal Rescue & Adoption Center, adopted his dog Mustardseed, a 1.5-year-old Dachshund with hydrocephalus, after he was rescued from a Hauppauge home with nearly 30 Dachshunds in July 2016.

Little Shelter Animal Rescue & Adoption Center in Huntington is the first shelter to open in Suffolk County, with its doors opening in April 1927. ter rescue and she’s really put it on the map since she came here,” Ceely said, adding that one of the things Chernovsky did for the shelter was creating programs. “We survive only on donations so we really have a responsibility to give back to our donors and our community and we do that through our programs.”

Several programs run throughout the year, including a reading program through which elementary school children develop their reading and social skills by reading to shelter dogs.

There’s also the animal soup kitchen program, through which volunteers provide food and medical treatment for impoverished, disabled and elderly pet parents who lack the resources to care for their pet.

In addition, the rescue shelter also operates as a sanctuary. The Little Shelter Animal Sanctuary opened on a 110-acre property north of upstate Binghamton in 2001. The sanctuary, which currently has 17 dogs, is a place for those who have been overlooked for adoption due to behavioral or medical issues.

Back in Huntington, the rescue shelter typically has between 50-70 dogs and 300 cats. It takes in animals of all ages and types of breed.

Ceely said shelter numbers in-

The shelter took in 60 dogs from hurricane-ravaged areas, including 29 dogs from Texas earlier this month, and 18 dogs from Puerto Rico this past Saturday.

At the shelter, each animal is spayed, neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and given medical treatment, when needed. They also have plenty of opportunities to socialize.

With 200 volunteers and a staff of 55 workers, Little Shelter is run like a well-organized ship, with volunteers being taught safety and techniques to read animal body language, Ceely said.

The shelter also has adoption counselors who make sure potential owners are paired with a pet that best suits them.

Ceely, who started out as a volun-

teer in 2002, has served as executive director since 2010. He loves being able to save lives on a daily basis, along with witnessing everyday miracles, such as seeing an animal’s life change from rags to riches, he said.

Ceely added that, as the shelter continues to operate in the original buildings that Hunninghouse opened 90 years ago, plans for the future include renovations to the kennel buildings.

s s e n i s u b More About Healthcare Directives

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

Last issue we discussed the healthcare directives and why they are not just for older people. Now we will give you the details of what the HIPAA authorization, medical power of attorney and a durable power of attorney are: HIPAA Authorization: The privacy rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability act – is a permission slip. This gives permission for healthcare providers to give your healthcare information to people you specify in writing. If an underage person signs this document in advance, it would be sufficient for parents to get information from the hospital about the situation with their injured child.

The HIPAA form does not have to disclose all medical information – a youngster can leave out sensitive information, such as that pertaining to sex, drugs, mental health or other details they want to keep out. This form, if not combined with other legal doc-

Law, Global Consulting Firms Relocate To Melville A pair of firms, one a law firm, the other a consulting and recruiting firm, have inked agreements to relocate to Melville.

T. Weiss Realty Corp., a familyowned developer, landlord and real estate manager, which owns the buildings the firms will relocate to, made the announcement last week.

T. Weiss signed a lease with Carlinsky, Dunn & Pasquariello, PLLC, a general practice law firm that currently operates out of Hicksville, for 2,910 square feet of space in its Broadhollow Corporate Center at 532 Broadhollow Road in Melville.

The real estate company also inked a deal with Manhattan-based privately-held consulting and recruiting firm Eclaro for 2,400 square feet in its 105 Maxess Road office space in Melville Corporate Center I. Eclaro has operations in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. The firm previously sublet space at 2 Huntington Quad-

rangle.

Both firms are expected to take occupancy on Dec. 1.

Craig Weiss, president of T. Weiss, said both leases “reflect the drive in our local market for pre-built, turnkey spaces with immediate occupancy.”

He continued, “The suite that Carlinsky, Dunn & Pasquariello will occupy features new carpet, paint, and an ideal layout for their industry’s type of use. Similarly, Eclaro will occupy a suite that was pre-built and pre-wired with complete telecommunications.

“As tenants demand quick turnaround times for new spaces, and display a desire to reduce expenses associated with lengthy build outs, we have responded by building on speculation in a number of our available spaces. This auspicious response has given us the flexibility to attract and secure quality tenants such as these.”
