A GfK report found that in 2016, 25 percent of U.S. households went without cable nor satellite service. It makes one wonder, what will these media behemoths do as that figure gets higher? As our younger people are setting up shop and moving out and starting to own their own homes, they are increasingly avoiding getting such landline services to begin with. The future of entertainment is already here, and it’s intriguing to watch how the media giants adapt — or don’t — to the frenetic change before us.

Catch 22… It seems that residents are routinely divided on the issue of overdevelopment.

On the one hand, of course we want to preserve the picturesque nature of Huntington’s seaside charm, its wide patches of open space and the Long Island tranquility that have brings many of us here to begin with. However, we face another issue: many of our young people have left the town in favor of the admittedly more exciting city life just a few miles west. This so-called “brain drain” is sapping our best and brightest, leaving us with the million-dollar question of how to keep them here to continue to make Huntington great.

One proposed solution has been the propagation of affordable housing. Everyone knows that rent isn’t cheap here. And, our millennials can only live in their parents’ basements for so long. In

Protect your skin…Yesterday marked the first official day of summer, and I don’t know about any of you, but it seems like the weather has been slow to adapt. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like roasting in the heat, but I prefer sunny skies over rainy weather any day. Nevertheless, Aunt Rosie is here to remind you that when you’re outside, it’s best to protect your skin at all times.

Whether or not you agree, the sun is strong and just a few minutes outside could give you sunburn.

If you anticipate spending your day in the sun, apply sunscreen before leaving your home, especially on your face. As a care-free young girl back in my day, I never applied sunscreen on my face and now I’m left with a few sunspots. Trust me ladies and gentlemen it’s not worth risking something permanent on your body for a tan that will only last a few months. Be smart and apply the sunscreen!

Suffolk police arrested a group of people June 13, 10 p.m. at the corner of Deer Park Avenue and Deer Park Road in Dix Hills for allegedly having heroin they said was packaged in a manner for sale. A 21-year-old Deer Park man was arrested for loitering unlawfully to use a controlled substance, and charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. A 21-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man also from Deer Park, and a 27-year-old Wheatley Heights man were each also charged with unlawful loitering. The group was riding in a black 2015 Honda, and they were also found with a large sum of money, according to police.

On The Run On The LIE A 22-year-old Centereach man was arrested in Huntington for allegedly attempting to flee police after he was excessively speeding in a 2012 Mercedes Benz, as well as driving on the right and left shoulders of the Long Island Expressway around exit 53 in Huntington at around 9:57 a.m. on June 9, Suffolk police said. The man, who had active warrants, drove westbound on the highway around exit 53, according to police. When stopped, he also used a false name and presented fake identification, police said. He was charged with third-degree fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle, as well as second-degree criminal impersonation.

MUSIC Climbing To The Status Of ‘The American Led Zeppelin’ SPOTLIGHT

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

Recapturing the essence of the cornerstone of rock ‘n’ roll, Get The Led Out has been dubbed the “The American Led Zeppelin” for their pristine performances of the time-honored institution. And, in a few weeks, they’re bringing that flare to Huntington for two nights.

As some fans know, Led Zeppelin sometimes overdubbed their tracks to include all their musical components in their albums. GTLO reproduces that sound, on-stage, while focusing on the early years of the epic band. And they do it all without wigs or false English accents.

The Philadelphia-based group consists of six veteran, multi-instrumental musicians, including vocalist Paul Sinclair, also playing the harmonica; Paul Hammond wielding electric and acoustic guitar, as well as the mandolin; Jimmy Marchiano also

Dubbed “The American Led Zeppelin,” Get The Led Out recreates the early years of the legendary band, including through performances with the overdubs featured in Led Zeppelin’s extensive discography. taking vocals as well as electric and acoustic guitar; Phil D’Agostino on the bass and vocals; Adam Ferraioli beating on the drums and assorted percussion; and Andrew Lipke on keyboards, electric and acoustic guitars, vocals, as well as percussion.

“Led Zeppelin are sort of the classical composers of the rock era,” Sinclair stated. “I believe 100 years from now they will be looked at as the Bach or Beethoven of our time. As cliche as it sounds, their music is timeless.”

The band also includes a special acoustic set in its

act, playing favorites like “Tangerine” and “Battle of Evermore” with guest singer Diana DeSantis.

Among GTLO’s national touring repertoire are venues like Penn’s Peak, Electric Factory, Best Buy Theater, the House of Blues in Boston, the Fillmore Charlotte and Ram’s Head Live in Baltimore.

The two-night run of shows at The Paramount spans June 30 and July 1, with both shows set to start at 8 p.m., and the doors opening at 7 p.m.

Tickets ($24.50-$50) can be purchased at the box office or from Paramountny.com.

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Richard Castellano’s 38-year run as head coach of the Northport High School girls basketball team has led to a total of 10 county championships, including six straight from 1989-1994 and three straight from 2004-2006 – the other came in 1986.

Looking back at his run, which is ongoing, what stands out is not what he’s done, but what his players have done, Castellano said.

“I’ve gotten too much credit for stuff we’ve done. It really comes down to the kids, who’ve done it all,” Castellano, of Selden, said. “I’ve got girls who are really dedicated to winning and dedicated to getting better, but the coach gets too much credit I think.”

Castellano recently got some more credit as he was informed he’ll be inducted into the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame next month, with the ceremony

As the co-owner of the time-tested Tutto Pazzo, Luigi Petrone says the hardest part about being successful is to stay successful.

Petrone and his brother, Joseph, established Tutto Pazzo on Sept. 8, 1992, which means the restaurant’s 25th anniversary is just around the corner.

Since they’ve opened their doors, their creativity and dedication to uniquely hand-crafted stuffed pastas, fresh seafood and artisan desserts make up the culinary aspect that has elevated the establishment to continued success.

On the other end, the brothers have ensured that their “key components” making up their essential staff are committed and disciplined, with some members there since they opened their doors.

That, Luigi said, is a cornerstone of their rock-solid presence in Huntington.

“That’s how you build the institution,” Petrone said.

And those who have looked them up online know that Petrone is widely acclaimed for his exuberant, and sometimes hilarious, Facebook videos. They’ve been instrumental in the restaurant’s success, not only keeping up with technological advancement, but also in letting prospective customers get a first-hand perspective into the inner workings of Tutto Pazzo, he said.

“Food has become such a revolution on social media,” Petrone said. “What I do right now, they’re going to know about in five minutes. Then, they’ll be here later on to try it.”

Looking back, Petrone recalled his background beginning working in his

Tutto Pazzo: Building An Institution Joseph, left, and Luigi Petrone built the institution of Tutto Pazzo from its humble beginnings in 1992. Its 25th anniversary is this September.

Luigi Petrone, co-owner of Tutto Pazzo, shows off some of the day’s fresh lobster ahead of the Friday dinner service. family’s restaurant in Hicksville, called Villa Parma, where he started as a busboy. Then, he moved to California with some of his uncles and dived deeper into the culinary arts, learning the trade from his Roman mentor, Chef Angelo.

He came back to the East Coast in 1988 and opened a restaurant called Spuntino in Mineola, then moving on to open Tutto Bono in Port Washington the next year. And finally, in 1992, he and Joseph established Tutto Pazzo, with Luigi working the back and his brother in the front, working in tandem with the chef-general manager dynamic.

Now at the Huntington restaurant steps away from Huntington Harbor he whips up dishes like the special Avocado Volcano ($17.95), a natural bounty of sliced, creamy avocados

with fresh chewy mozzarella, fresh crushed pistachios, topped with peach balsamic vinegar from The Crushed Olive down the block in Huntington village and Spanish olive oil. It’s further enhanced by slightly tart Peruvian teardrop peppers, and it’s all topped with dehydrated tomato flakes for an added natural savoriness.

Serving up a sampling of the restaurant’s renowned stuffed pastas, the carmela twister pasta was served in a pool of zesty pomodoro sauce, with a tortellini Cappella di Papa with a pesto sauce, and Trianguli Pyramida steeped in a sultry butter parmigiana sauce. The carmela was especially chewy, with a deeply robust sauce. The tortellini bursts with creamy goodness, underscored by the naturally savory pesto.

As for dessert, the Chocolate Apple Pie ($11.95) brings together fluffy apple mousse glazed with chocolate, topped with a dehydrated apple, and there’s a disc of Godiva chocolate pudding tucked inside. Gold leaf stars fleck the outer glaze, and it’s sprinkled with walnuts and with a spread of caramel glaze on the side, making this dish not only a slice of chocolate heaven, but also aesthetically out of this world.

Last but not least, the Deconstructed Carrot Cake Gelato ($11.95) features a moist carrot cake base, gelato including boiled carrots, cinnamon, whipped cream and pumpkin syrup. The gelato is just slightly sweet, and is so smooth, it’s barely there. The cake absorbs its components excellently, and by mixing up each spoonful, diners can “construct” the deconstruction..

A former Huntington resident, and current bishop with the Christian Charities Deliverance Church, Norris Porter was recently recognized for his over 50 year effort to serve both the church and the Huntington community.

Porter received a proclamations from Huntington councilwomen Susan Berland and Tracy Edwards, and Suffolk Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport), and also a citation from state Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci (R-Huntington Station) during a ceremony held June 10.

“It’s an honor that they thought that much of the service that I’ve done for over 50 years,” Porter, 79, of Islip, said. “But it’s not about me, it’s about the church.”

In the 1940s, Porter moved to Huntington from Florida. He went on to graduate from Walt Whitman High School in 1959, and continued his education at Suffolk County Community College.

Porter said he received a calling from the Lord when he was 24 years old.

As New York State narcotics officer at the time, Porter decided to fully commit to serving God and the com-

In 1968, Porter and his wife, Evangelist Peggy Porter, started having a prayer service in their Islip home. It grew in success and led to the birth in 1974 of Christian Charities Deliverance Church, which is based out of Huntington.

Ordained as bishop in October 1993, Porter’s goal in the community is to work with law enforcement and politicians to bring justice, help increase opportunities for the youth and bring more diversity to the Town of Huntington. With that, Porter is the presi-

dent of the Huntington Ecumenical Ministerial Alliance and president of the Huntington Clergy Organization.

“He’s always been very encouraging to the youth and on personal note, Bishop Porter would give you the shirt off his back,” said Rev. Jerry Artis, pastor at Love of Christ Fellowship Church in Huntington. “He’s helped many in the community who had needs and they had no one else to help them but he would help them. He’s known like that in any community.”

Porter’s spiritual guidance reached new levels as a radio show host for

Studio Takes Yoga To Next Level

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

Yoga in a calm, tranquil atmosphere can purify the soul and help still the mind, said Adam Levy, co-owner of SOUND Body & Mind. The studio, which overlooks the water of Huntington Harbor, is taking that philosophy to the next level with rooftop classes allowing yoga lovers to greet the sun as it rises.

“There’s a good breeze that comes right off the sound. It’s a pretty serene setting that we have,” Levy said. “Obviously, in the summer, a lot of people like to take their workouts outdoors.

Deliverance Sounds of Joy and Praise, which he established over 40 years ago and continues today on WGBB 1240 AM. On his program, he caters to the elderly and homebound audience that can’t attend a church service.

He plays traditional gospel music and offers prayer for healing and deliverance, with a goal is to own a Christian radio station in the future.

Throughout the years, Porter’s successful ministry stretched beyond New York, establishing two churches in Virginia, and others in Arizona, Florida, Mississippi, Nevada, Puerto Rico, and Texas. He’s also earned many accolades, including an appreciation award in July 2016 from the New York Veteran Police Association for his work and dedication to the members of the New York City Police Department and the Law Enforcement Community.

“Over 50 years, he’s experienced a lot of pride, he saw great prosperity in the community, he saw devastation in the community both economically and culturally but through it all, as we fast forward to today, the same man sees that there’s hope,” Artis, 63, of Huntington, said. “He can see that we can rebuild and we can make a difference for the next generation.”

People just want to spend more time outside and get more sun. A lot of people are actually pretty deficient when it comes to Vitamin D.” The classes, which started last weekend, will be offered each Saturday, 8:30-9:30 a.m. through early July. Costs range $20 for a single class, to $35 for the studio’s new, two-week unlimited pass that includes the outdoor sessions.

Levy owns the 125 West Shore Road studio with his wife, Jill. The couple, which also teaches classes themselves, opened SOUND last September to provide an accessible community of yoga practitioners catering

to all shapes, sizes and ages.

They also have a team of eight other instructors who teach the gamut of courses, including aerial yoga, a strength circuit, candlelight meditation and restorative yoga.

Levy said the outdoor sessions will go over vinyasa flow, a style of yoga that employs energetic movements between postures to keep up a faster pace than normal. But, he added, the classes are suitable for a range of levels.

And, Levy said, the outdoor warmth makes for a natural style of “hot” yoga that can more deeply stimulate muscles and promote relaxation.

y t i n u m com Taking Pride In Cleaning Up

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

On his way back home from a routine trip to Home Depot in September 2014, Edward Mikell noticed Crooked Hill Road bus stop was in shambles, with garbage thrown on the ground.

“I go riding past this particular spot and there was about 10 people waiting for a bus and there was all kinds of stuff there, tires, cups, hubcaps,” Mikell, 75, of Commack, said. “I said, ‘This is ridiculous. This is part of Commack, let me go clean this up.’”

Grabbing some supplies from his home, Mikell went back to the area and used a grocery cart that he found amongst the garbage to fill it with trash. He said he filled the kart four times, dumping each load in a dump-

ster across the street.

This initiated a passion in Mikell to do more for his Commack community and decided to form the 7 Cents Club of Commack in an effort to keep the community clean and promote pride. The name was dubbed by the seven cents he found on the ground while cleaning the bus stop on Crooked Hill Road.

“If something doesn’t look right, you want to make it better,” Mikell said. “Abraham Lincoln said, ‘I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives,’ and that really makes sense.

That’s what this is all about.”

After retiring from a position at Henry Schein in 2006, Mikell said he has more time to help with his community.

The club partnered with the Com-

For each clean up, the group is armed with 60-gallon durable garbage bags and tools to pick up the trash.

Mikell said the club meets three times a month to clean whichever area is in need. The club meets two weekdays out of the month, for the subgroup they call Senior Pickers, and one Saturday morning. Each clean up runs from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. and sees 515 volunteers.

Now, Mikell is seeking out more volunteers to help clean these areas.

“Having more and more people would be helpful I cleaning up the roads,” he said. “I’ve noticed that once you clean up one of the roads, the next road is not as messy as it was before and if we can continue to do that and get enough people to do that, you can have the whole town as clean as a whistle.

That’s the concept.”

With their most recent clean up held June 10 on Crooked Hill Road, the group’s next meetings are scheduled for June 22 and June 29. For more info, or to join the club, email 7centsclubcom@optimum.net.

“We’re not your small boutique and we’re not your big box gym, we kind of fall right in the middle,” Vincent Scaduto, general manager of Energy Fitness at Huntington, said. “What that allows us to do is create that boutique experience, or that personalized

nature with each member, while still providing all of the services that you would get at a big gym. We’re like your perfect hybrid.”

Trevor Tucci, a co-owner of the location with Mike Tucci and Mike Fox, said Energy Fitness has been a family owned and operated business for 15 years.

The original location opened in St. James in 2003. Finding success, the founders expanded the business by with locations in Fort Salonga and Miller Place.

“Because we’re family owned and operated, we like to be in communities where there’s families that are looking for that interaction and connection,” Tucci said. “The Huntington community is perfect for that personal, attentive and intimate setting that we offer.”

Energy Fitness originally got its foot in the door with a presale center at 357 New York Ave. That was temporary, though, and it’s now moving down the street to its permanent loca-

tion at 226 New York Avenue.

Working on some finishing touches, Scaduto said, the 6,000-square-foot space is set to open “within a few weeks,” and will start with 10 trainers on staff.

There are plans to offer several programs focused on shedding fat and building lean muscle. Two main programs are the Energy Elite Program, which offers intense one-on-one training, and the Energy Strong Program, which offers 45 minutes of effective team training.

The goal is to makes Energy Fitness stand out and provide an experience that gets results for members, Scaduto said.

He added, “Whatever goal they want to set for themselves, we really strive and make it a point to connect with them on a personal level and make sure they stay focused and get to where they want to be.”

Prices are based on how often clients participate in certain programs.

Some perks of a membership in-

clude full gym access, the Energy Flex Program, towel service and free daycare, along with access to other Energy Fitness locations.

Scaduto, who has been with the company for five years, said his favorite part of it is the people behind it.

“The owners themselves are awesome guys, very down to earth, very caring, very genuine, which transcends into their company values,” Scaduto said. “That’s the experience we try to provide for everybody — that true caring and sincere nature of really trying to get people to reach the goals that they set for themselves in the gym.”

s s e n i s u b Comprehensive Financial Planning

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

I will try to provide valuable information to help guide you with your travels to a comfortable retirement. Today, I believe it is more important than ever to start the planning process as early as possible. We are living longer and therefore our retirement moneys need to support us a lot longer. I realize an article can only provide so much. I would urge you to talk with a qualified financial planner to help with your journey to achieving financial independence.

As Americans, we constantly face changes in the economy that create some confusion in our financial lives.

Once upon a time there were good pensions and a strong Social Security system to help secure retirement. Today, however, we face more uncertainty – no promises, no guarantees. Inflation, constantly changing tax laws, increasing

volatility of investments, job changes and many other factors beyond our control can cause havoc with our short and long term plans and budgets.

Ask yourself: How am I going to pay for my children’s upbringing and college educations? Will I have enough money to retire and assure my financial security? Where will I get money to achieve all my goals and cover future medical needs?

This is one of the reasons prompting more and more people to seek the help of a financial planning professional. Financial planner is just a term – you have to look a little deeper and do some research into what the background of their education, their credentials (CFP) and ‘time in service’a planner has. Calling one’s self a financial planner means nothing. Everyone reading this piece can say they are a financial planner but how will that help your needs? A true financial planner can assist you in many financial areas.

Basically a true financial planner will help you assess your current position – collecting and assessing all relevant per-

sonal and financial data – lists of assets and liabilities, tax returns, records of securities transactions, insurance policies, wills, trusts, pension plans, etc.

Then, discuss where you want to be by identifying both financial and personal goals – this can include providing for your children’s college educations, supporting aging parents, or relieving immediate financial pressures that help your current lifestyle and provide for retirement. This will help you determine the best financial strategy for you.

Identify financial problems that create barriers to your financial independence.

Areas of review could be too little or too much insurance, or a high tax burden, inadequate cash flows, or current investments that are losing the battle with inflation. We need to identify problem areas before we can address them.

Other factors to look at are, is the planner providing a written financial plan. This can be simple or complex depending on your specific situation. Implementing the agreed upon recommendations, and periodically reviewing and periodic revisions.

As always we stand ready to give you the advice you request – we are only an email or phone call away. Our very best to you accomplishing your goals. We hope you had a happy and memorable Father’s Day Huntington’s Jon L.
