Green Riders are ready to leave New York City on May 29th from Central Park.

Travelling 3,700 miles from New York City to Seattle is easy, right? Most people would take the six-hour plane ride with their only struggles being airport security and jet lag. Not Northport native Cheryl Davies. Since May 29, she has been travelling across the country with nothing but her bicycle, a few personal possessions, and a pack of as many as 48 others from across the globe who are doing the same.

Davies and her boyfriend Rob Greenfield, a man known for his extravagant projects to help Mother Earth, had the idea for Green Riders, a group of bikers that would travel across the country doing good deeds as they went and leaving as little waste behind as possible.

There were around 11 planned projects set across the country where the Green Riders would come and plant fruit trees or a community garden.

They also do other good deeds such as picking up trash or donating items they found on the road.

“Each place that we pass through will be left a slightly better place than we found it,” says the group’s Facebook page.

Davies said that the goal of Green Riders is “basically beautifying the land.” While on the road she and the other riders live simply by camping, using her own dishes and utensils, using reusable containers when buying food in bulk, and at some points dumpster diving for food. “We “rescue” good food that is going to waste for our own consumption and for others in need,” she said. “This also keeps our food budget low.”

The group faces an obviously difficult task. The riders have to deal with bike problems, flat tires, road rash, hard falls, wind, heat, and other extreme weather conditions. But they persevere.

“I’m doing this journey to challenge myself. To see how far I could go by bicycle and to prove how much I don’t need a car to get around,” Davies said.

“By doing something so challenging, it makes small positive environmental changes seem easier.”

Davies’ favorite day of biking was in early Aug. at Glacier National Park in Montana. She biked along Going to the Sun road and viewed countless waterfalls and the gorgeous scenery.

After the trip is completed, the en-

Greenfield has experience with such things as he lived in a 50 square foot tiny house in San Diego where he collected rainwater, grew his food or bought in bulk so there was little waste, and utilized composting techniques. The plan is to build the house on their own, including a compost toilet and sustainable rainwater harvesting system in its design.

Mac’s Steakhouse in Huntington village offer quality dishes and a scenic view at its spin-off restaurant, Mac’s at the Meadow, located at the Crab Meadow Golf Course in Northport.

“The idea was to bring unique dining to the golf course,” Mark Gelish, owner of Mac’s, said. “Right now the restaurant was exclusively used as a caterer or as a golf course snack bar.”

Now, it’s open to all as a part-time restaurant, offering a variety of menus for different days of the week.

“The fun thing here is you can go in different directions,” Gelish, 60, of Huntington, said. “I’m really enjoying it and the challenge is how to make it better every day.”

The grill menu is served seven days from 11 a.m.-6 p.m., and offers breakfast items, salads, soups and freshly made club sandwiches that differ on a daily basis.

With ham on Thursdays, roast beef on Fridays, turkey breast on Saturdays and barbeque pork on Sundays, Mac’s at the Meadow ensures quality and freshness by preparing the meat the day it’s served.

The Lobster Night menu is served

Thursdays from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. and offers a three-course meal, with items made from scratch.

For Friday’s, the restaurant serves up a Tapas menu from 5 p.m.-10 p.m., featuring appetizers, salads, comfort food, and hearty entrees.

“At Mac’s on the Meadow, you’re coming one night for a three-course meal, you’re coming another night for music and light food, and Sunday is a totally different experience,” Gelish said.

“You wouldn’t see the same menu over and over again.”

The Mac’s Steakhouse owner brought his expertise to the restaurant’s grill.

The fresh ham club sandwich ($10), offered every Thursday on the grill menu, is served on a Kaiser roll.

The short rib quesadilla ($10), served with chipotle mayo, offers a crunchy outside and a soft texture on the inside, with a lite cheesy bite.

Crispy Jamaican Jerk Wings ($9) are juicy and packed with flavor.

Steak Focaccia ($14) is served with balsamic marinated sliced steak, portabella mushrooms, sliced brie on focaccia bread, with chips. chipotle mayo. The dish provides a crunchy outside and a soft texture on the inside, with a warm and light cheesy bite.

Also from the grill menu, Southwest pulled pork tacos ($9) topped with chipotle ranch dressing and Napa cabbage make a perfect summer meal.

The savory pulled pork fills the soft taco shell, delivering a delectable sweet and spicy combination.

On the tapas menu, crispy dry-rub Jamaican wings ($9), served with a cucumber crème, are juicy and packed with flavor.

Top it off with a unique dessert.

Brownie wontons ($8) – a must try for chocolate lovers – is served on tapas night. A crunchy wonton is stuffed with a chocolate brownie and served with vanilla ice cream. The wonton adds a twist to the classic pairing of warm fudge brownie and cool vanilla ice cream.

Starting in mid-September, the restaurant will offer its Sunday Brunch Menu.

“We’re going to call it a farmers brunch, similar to Mac’s and basically every table gets a starter platter of muffins, bagels, danishes, fresh fruit, and roasted vegetables,” Gelish said.

Entrees would include a variety of breakfast and lunch items.

Gelish, who has owned Mac’s Steakhouse for 10 years, said like Mac’s Steakhouse, everything at Mac’s at the Meadow is made from scratch and served fresh. What makes them different is the atmosphere.

The 8,000-square-foot restaurant offers a beautiful view of the golf course and harbor, and offers 150 seats. Mac’s took over the restaurant portion of the golf course in May. “This is a much more casual affair,” he said. “It’s a place that you could go to three nights in a row and have a totally different experience.”

A Taste NY Marketplace that opened in 2016 promotes farm and food products produced exclusively in New York.

Schaudel, a serial restaurateur whose eateries include Jewel in Melville, and a devotee of locally sourced ingredients, conducted a 90-minute cooking demonstration on Aug. 8 to explore creative recipes using local products.

The event was a sold-out success, and if we know Tom, produced delicious results. For more event info, check out ligreenmarket.org.

l o o h c s back to Students’ Extraordinary Summer Vacation

By Julia Limmer info@longislandergroup.com

Commack Trio Presents At NASA Forum July brought to two life-changing days to three Commack rising juniors. Karen Abruzzo, Delina Levine, and Pragati Muthukumar were invited to participate in the NASA Exploration Science Forum in California after they were the first place national winners in the Exploration of the Moon and Asteroids by Secondary Students (ExMASS) Competition.

During the school year, the girls researched aspects of lunar and asteroid science before honing in on the topic of “Mapping Possible Locations for Lunar Ice Mining Using Topographic, Economic, and Elemental Data” for their winning poster presentation.

The girls spent their two days at the

forum meeting former astronauts, touring the Ames Research Facility, and speaking to scientists about their research. They won an honorable mention award in the forum’s poster contest.

The only high school students in attendance at this NASA event, they also gave a lightning-round presentation on their research.

“The best part of the experience was being able to interact with professional scientists and being treated like equals, said Delina and Pragati. “Getting out of the high school environment to see what type of research is actually happening in the field was uniquely rewarding.”

Michael Hermanns, the 2017 valedictorian and an incoming freshman at Boston University, studied at Sant’Anna InstituteSorrento Lingua during July, and incoming junior Iván Andrade, attended a program called A Door to Italy for two weeks in July and August. Both were chosen from a drawing which included first place winners at different levels of Italian.

“My trip to Italy this year was honestly an amazing experience and it’ll be one that I will never forget,” Andrade said. “It was amazing to finally see the small things that I learned in the classroom come to life before my eyes.”

Each teacher of a first-place-

winning student was entered into a drawing as well, and two were selected to go to Italy. Elena Ferriolo, Hermanns’ old teacher, attended classes at Accademia Italiana Salerno to improve her teaching skills by observing how the program taught foreigners.

“I am looking forward to immersing my students in target language activities that will allow them to work with vocabulary and grammar in a new and unique way,” Ferriolo said. “I have learned great strategies for grammar teaching and have gathered great learning materials which I will use in my classroom to enhance fluency, conversation and vocabulary use in my classroom.”

Incoming sixth grader and math wiz Samantha McGloin has been invited to SUNY College at Old Westbury for the Creative Problem-Solving for Gifted and Talented Students program.

A student at Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School, McGloin will take 20 two-hour classes on Saturday mornings to broaden her background in mathematics and sharpen her thinking skills.

“Congratulations to this young lady who has distinguished herself, [her] family and our school district in achieving this prestigious honor,” Mrs. Maryann Daly, the former Huntington Public School District’s SEARCH (Scholastic Enrichment and Resource for the Children in Huntington) teacher-chairperson and Math Olympiad coach said on the Huntington School District’s website.

Each of the 14 students nominated

by Daly had to take a rigorous twohour exam. In all, 800 students from across the island competed for 75 spots. The program is split into age groups, so only 25 from each age range were accepted.

The senior academic awards ceremony for Huntington High School graduates awarded many students scholarships based on different aspects of their high school career. Both James Shea and Lawrence Leake were awarded the October Dawn Scholarship, even though it is usually only given to one student per year.

The October Dawn Scholarship is awarded in honor of Kathryn A. DeGelleke, a special education teacher who, after a 2-year battle, passed away from cancer in 2009. Her husband presented the two boys with scholarships of $2000 each. Traditionally, one student per year won the scholarship, however, according to Mr. DeGelleke, it was impossible to choose one over the other.

A one-page essay is needed from every applicant that chronicles their struggles in high school, their plans for the future, and why they believe they should win the scholarship.

“Winning this scholarship means a lot to myself and to my mother,” said Mr. Shea on the Huntington School District’s website. “It will help me financially and I am nothing but grateful to have received it.”

The last day of camp is never a dull affair at Harborfields High School. Almost every Thursday, campers attending Harborfields Community Educational Foundation (HACEF) arts camps display their projects and artwork for their parents, siblings, and peers.

A record 690-plus kids from all grade levels attended the nine-week camps this summer, choosing such options as fashion design, woodcrafting, drawing, and painting, among others.

“I am so proud of our students and faculty for the impressive work they have done,” Superintendent of Schools Francesco Ianni said. “Seeing so much talent, passion and dedication was truly the highlight of my summer.”

Parents are asked to come 15 minutes early on the last day of camp so they can view everyone’s art displayed in the

hallways of the high school’s art wing.

Eileen Rottkamp has been teaching a course, “Drawing Painting Sculpture,” at the camps since the beginning in 2011. She always had an art show to display her campers’ works. Other teachers shortly followed suit.

“The art shows mean so much to the kids and their parents,” Rottkamp said.

“It gives the campers the opportunity to proudly display their work and their parents get to experience the joy their children feel from being creative.

Every summer presents a new opportunity through these camps for the teachers and campers to have a rewarding experience.”

Along with programs that stick to different types of arts and crafts, other course options included robotics, coding, and cooking.

“Perhaps one of these camps could spark their enthusiasm for a lifelong hobby or even fuel an interest in their chosen career path,” Karin Fey, one of the camp’s directors said. “It is an honor to help bring those opportunities for creativity, for innovation, and learning to our kids.”

Scott Stapp, the lead vocalist of Creed, performing live during the 2017 Make America Rock Again tour.

SPOTLIGHT

By Connor Beach info@longislandergroup.com

The second annual Make America Rock Again tour will stop at The Paramount on Aug. 31 this year with a lineup featuring Scott Stapp, vocalist and founding member of Creed, as the headliner. This year the tour also includes Sick Puppies, Drowning Pool, Trapt and Adelitas Way. Stapp, who won a Grammy Award for the Creed song “With Arms Wide Open,” will be performing Creed hits with his band. “I’m just going out there and giving the fans the most dynamic Creed set,” said Stapp, who stressed that the Creed songs he is most famous for, including “My Own Prison” and “Higher,” will dominate his performance.

Stapp offered some personal experience on addiction, something that he battled while performing with Creed and a problem that has attracted increased attention on Long Island.

“There are a lot of people who are suffering in silence,” Stapp said.

“Don’t be afraid to ask for help.” He pointed out that there is a heightened

awareness of substance abuse in the rock and roll community, a community that includes the bands in the Make American Rock Again tour.

The tour features bands that all play a variety of rock and roll music; Stapp has personally performed with several of the other bands on previous gigs. Downing Pool, label mates of the Creed singer, and Adelitas Way bring a familiar feel to the tour that has created a sense of camaraderie among the groups.

“At its core its rock and roll music,” Stapp said. “Some heavier than others.” Stapp went on to say that all of the bands play a cohesive style of music that any fan of Creed will enjoy.

Stapp believes that the high energy Creed based show will attract plenty of fans on Long Island.

The Make America Rock Again show will not be Stapp’s first time on stage at the Paramount. Stapp appeared at the Paramount in Nov. 2016, and he had nothing but praise for the Huntington venue.

“I love the Paramount, they always have great shows,” Stapp said. “The fans have great energy.”

While the former Creed singer looks forward to his return to the Paramount, tickets for the Make America Rock Again tour are $36-$135 at the box office, or go to paramountny.com for.

business How Do I Build Up My Credit Rating?

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

To build a credit rating, you have to have at least one credit card account for at least six months and have your activity reporting to the credit bureaus. If you are just starting out you may need to get a secured credit card.

This is a card backed up by a cash deposit you put up. The deposited amount is usually the credit limit. Use the card to make purchases, and make sure you pay off the charges before the due date. Credit card rates are almost always extremely high (upwards of 20 percent).

Another option is to get a co-signer who has established credit. The co-signer is responsible for all debts incurred so make sure you are responsible.

This helping hand from a friend or relative will help you get a good credit rating when you start.

If you are renting an apartment or house, companies like Rental Kharma and RentTrack will put your rent bill on your credit report which will help build your credit score.

Building a good credit score takes time. Get

good habits like paying on time and not running up your card to the max. Do not open too many credit cards at once in your name, but if you do have a number of credit cards, do not close an account..

Leaving it open will show the length of time you have the card and your history of paying.

One thing I have observed over the years is that when you close out a credit card, it will reduce you total credit score. Instead, find a card with the same limit and switch to it when you close the original card. With the credit card companies coming up with more benefits, be careful which one you go for.

Today there are many cards which do not have an annual fee, and many cards offer 1-, 2- and even 3-percent cash back. Review the card choices which come your way, and make sure you make a wise choice.

A good credit score will affect your ability to get low-interest rates on a car purchase, a new home, and new credit cards. They may also be checked as part of job applications or securing rental housing.

There are three major credit scoring companies – Experian, Equifax and Transunion. Each one will give you a free score every 12 months so stagger the time of year you ask for each one. Perhaps ask each company for a score every four months

(January, May and September) so there will not be an overlap. You can also go to AnnualCreditReport.com.

Be careful when using a credit card – It is easy to buy something when there is not an immediate need. At the end of each month you want to be able to pay your bills, especially when you are starting out. You want to prove to the world that you can handle a card and the debt which builds up with it.

s s e n i s u b JMK With Clients Every Step Of The Way Spotlight On

Huntington Businesses

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Clients won’t feel stressed with JMK Financial Group, Inc., by their side.

The boutique mortgage company works one-to-one with clients to the very end, from the initial research and loan application to closing and beyond.

“We’re in this together,” Jamey Kaufman, founder and president of the company, said. “I make sure that me and my customer are on the same page with what their objective is and we discuss any potential hurdles or obstacles in order to make the process as smooth as possible, and also to have nothing unexpected happen.

They’re never in the dark.”

As a mortgage brokerage, Kaufman said his company works on the wholesale side of the mortgage industry.

“That allows me to cherry pick the lending partners that I want to be in business with and by doing so I’m able to serve my customer base really well, both with extremely competitive terms but also great customers service,” Kaufman, 47, of Huntington, said.

With a handful of parties that come together to get a loan closed, Kaufman said, along with handling the mortgage financing, he coordinates with the banks attorney office, the real estate agents, and the title company.

Starting the business in 2004, Kaufman said he was inspired to after experiencing the process of buying a home in New York himself in early 2000.

“It was just a nightmare and I just figured that it could be done better,” he said. “When buying a home in New York, there’s so many parties involved and such a mix of complex guidelines that having someone that knows the business really well like I do would’ve

been a huge help. It would’ve been that one other thing I didn’t have to stress out about as a perspective buyer so now I serve that purpose.”

The company originally opened in Plainview and then moved to Jericho before landing its current 23 Green Street location in Huntington village five years ago.

Kaufman said when he became a Huntington resident 13 years ago he and his family “grew to love all that this amazing town offers. It made perfect sense to move my office to the village and be even more connected to this wonderful community.”

After graduating from University of Maryland, Kaufman said he fell into a mortgage company position and connected with the field.

The best part about the job, Kaufman said is the relationships he has developed with his customer base.

“I don’t think there’s one person that I’ve closed a loan with that I don’t remember them or the type of loan that they did,” he said. “I don’t take for granted the trust and confidence they

Jamey Kaufman, founder and president of JMK Financial Group, Inc., works one-to-one with clients to the very end, from the initial research and loan application to closing and beyond. have in sharing with me their situation.

It’s not just about giving me proof of income and trying to figure out if they qualify, there’s emotion that goes along with that. From the very beginning I make sure they understand that I know the position they’re in and that I’m here to help.”

Kaufman is licensed as a loan originator in New York and Florida, and is looking to branch out and become licensed in New Jersey, Maryland and Connecticut.

Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty has promoted two of its designers to management posts in its marketing and technology department. Tara Poli has been named Senior Graphic Designer and Manager, New Development Marketing, and Allison Conte has Allison Conte been named Design Manager, James P. Retz, SVP of Marketing and Technology announced.

“We are fortunate to have had the talents of Tara and Allison during a period of significant growth,” Retz said. “The Marketing and Technology department has developed tremendously in both the scope and Tara Poli sophistication of the work we produce, and Tara and Allison have been instrumental in contributing to our success.”

In her new position, Poli has taken the lead role in all marketing for Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty’s New Development clients. Responsibilities include managing the relationship between the real estate developer and Daniel Gale’s marketing department, and the design, branding and production for all print advertising, collateral materials, signage, custom campaigns and web-based marketing.

Poli joined the real estate firm in 2008. She previ-

ously worked for a boutique advertising agency in NewYork City developing creative concepts and overseeing the design and production of all collateral material for new condominium development clients in the city. A lifelong Huntington resident, she graduated University of Connecticut before earning a master’s degree in communication design from Pratt Institute.

In her role, Conte oversees design and production of sales and marketing materials for DGSIR offices and sales associates across Long Island. As a graphic designer she worked on numerous award-winning campaigns. Prior to joining Gale she gained experience at several Fortune 500 companies including Procter & Gamble and The Estee Lauder Companies, where she designed retail environments, mobile apps and packaging for global luxury brands.

A Rochester Institute of Technology graduate, she resides in Huntington.

Melville-based financial attorney Leslie H. Tayne has been elected to the boards of directors of Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs. She will serve a three-year term on each board.

As board member of the Guide Dog Foundation and America’s VetDogs Boards of Directors, she will play an integral role in reviewing key issues relating to both organizations while making important recommendations and decisions.

Tayne, of Melville-based Tayne Law Group, P.C.,

Leslie Tayne with puppies from the Guide Dog Foundation that she’s been raising began work with both organizations in 2010. She’s been a dedicated volunteer puppy raiser who has raised puppies to become guide or service dogs for people with disabilities.

“I love everything about this cause,” Tayne said. “It is so gratifying to be able to love and take care of the puppies and then see that love transferred to the person who they will eventually help when they become service dogs. The entire pay-it-forward process you get from it is so rewarding on so many levels.”
