MUSIC Voyage: Recreating Journey SPOTLIGHT

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

From the moment Hugo Valenti first heard Steve Perry’s voice, he was captivated by his range and belting voice, eventually coming to master the same vocal “calisthenics” the Journey frontman employed.

Valenti, of Islip, and the rest of the Voyage ensemble will play at The Paramount tomorrow. Bandmates include accomplished musicians like bassist Greg Smith, Robby Hoffman on guitar, drummer Charlie Zeleny and Al Spinelli on the keyboard.

He developed his own music career, “doing the whole ’80s thing” with the band Valentine, debuting with Warner Bros. Records.

They then became Open Skyz, where Valenti played with bands like Mr. Big and even KISS. But, Valenti found a greater calling in playing the role of Perry, sharing an uncanny likeness in looks and voice to the Journey frontman.

Valenti started the band in 2005 and since then they’ve grown to sell out shows throughout the country.

“I was always interested in how Steve Perry sang the way he did. Growing up with singers that were raspy and kicking it out, here was Steve Perry and he was just floating above the melody with this amazing voice,” Valenti said.

With formal training, he was able to bridge the gap between his chest voice and a falsetto to “bridge that gap.”

“You go from Mickey Mouse to Steve Perry,” Valenti said.

This will be Voyage’s fourth time at The Paramount, where they’ll play classics like “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Only TheYoung,” “Open Arms,” and “Faithfully.”

“We’re just excited to put on another great show, and we love it. It’s local, so a lot of folks that we know come down as well,” Valenti said.

Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show starting at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or at Paramountny.com. They range from $15$35.

Engeman’s ‘Grease’ Is Electrifying

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Audience members experienced high energy, fun choreography and lots of laughter during Thursday night’s show of the John W. Engeman Theater’s electrifying production of “Grease.”

The production, which kicks off the theater’s 11th season, is based off the 1971 musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, which inspired the classic 1978 film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

Audiences are brought back to the late 1950’s at Rydell High, where leather jackets, bobby socks and greasy slicked back hair were the latest fashion.

With Paul Stancato directing and Antoinette DiPietropolo managing choreography, the cast lit up the stage last Thursday with dance numbers that made audience members whistle and holler in satisfaction.

In “Greased Lightnin’,” actors delivered a colorful performance jumping and jiving and pumping their arms on stage. Kenickie (Chris Stevens) was on lead vocals for the number, and gave an effortless and powerful performance while both singing and dancing.

The show doesn’t fall short on laughs either. Gags like Patty Simcox’s (Kaitlin Nelson) comical way

of flirting, Sonny LaTierri’s (Casey Shane) failed attempt to make moves on the ladies, or Roger (Chris CollinsPisano) and Jan’s (Hannah Slabaugh) hysterical rendition in “Mooning,” keep the laughs coming.

With that, the production touches on the pressures and stressors of being a high school teen in “There Are Worse Things I Could Do,” performed

by Betty Rizzo (Madeleine Barker).

Rizzo delivers an intense performance and captivates audiences with powerful vocals as a teen faced with a difficult situation.

Audience member Laurel Breen, of Sea Cliff, said after the show that was her favorite scene of the night.

“When Rizzo sang her number, she really stood out,” Breen said. “She was really on pitch tonight and it was a turning point for her character, as it should have been.”

Sandy Dumbrowski (Liana Hunt) also stood out on stage as the innocent school girl turned bad, demanding Danny Zuko (Sam Wolf) to “shape up” in the bouncy number “You’re The One That I Want.”

“This character takes such a huge journey throughout the show and where she ends up is so different from where she began,” Hunt said after the show. “That’s kind of all you can ask for in a role and where she ends up happens to be in spandex and giant

heels. I’m having a great time.”

When preparing for the role as Danny, Wolf said it involved having his own interpretation of the character and getting down to the basics of the script.

“The main thing for Danny was the sincerity in him,” Wolf said. “He’s not just this player, he really is very genuine, very sincere, especially when he’s with Sandy.”

He added that he is having the time of his life playing the iconic role.

“As painful as high school can be, it’s kind of fun to go back and relive that experience and do that coming of age story again,” Wolf said. It’s so much fun.”

Productions of “Grease” at The John W. Engeman Theater (250 Main St., Northport) are Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturdays at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sundays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets ($73-$78) are available at the box office or Engemantheater.com.

arts Education To Exhibitions: Summer At The Heckscher

By Lauren Peller info@longislandergroup.com

Each day, Heckscher Museum provides visitors with interesting educational programming and varied exhibitions to explore. Keep reading below for an inside look at some of the offerings the museum will have this summer.

Education The education department at Heckscher has packed the summer schedule full of interesting and varied classes for community members to indulge in.

The “Drop In & Paint” program is open for kids, ages 5-10, each Wednesday, 10:30-11:30 a.m. The program, held outdoors in Heckscher Park, will showcase different painting skills, and offer individualized attention from museum educators. There will also be a “Drop In & Draw” program held throughout August.

Helen Torr’s Oyster Stakes (1929, Heckscher Museum of Art) is part of Ebb & Flow: Seascape and Shoreline Views, opening Aug. 5.

Joy Weiner, director of education at the museum, wants to encourage students to sign up for the “Drop In” art programs this summer.

“A great way to start your summer day is to experiment with art. The weekly ‘Drop In’ programs this summer allow young artists to be inspired by the artwork at the museum in addition to learning drawing and painting techniques.”

On July 18, the museum is hosting “Be a Friend, Bring a Friend,” a program allowing visitors to bring a friend to the museum for free.

The museum offers special docent tours Wednesday-Sunday, 2-5 p.m.

Additionally, each “Sunday Sketching” will be open to students each Sunday through Aug. 27.

“Students will pull up a chair in the museum and become inspired by the artwork,” Weiner said.

For the monthly Senior Second Wednesday program, through which visitors ages 62 and up are admitted for free 1:30-5 p.m., renowned musicians Michelle Laporte and Gerry Saulter will perform as Serenade Duo. The performance is set for 2 p.m. on Aug. 9. Admission will also be halfprice for the general public that day.

For the third summer, Heckscher has partnered with Dix Hills-based Park Shore Day Camp for the Extreme STEAM program, which offers classes that combine art projects with various topics in science.

Weiner said, “This program is awesome for students who are eager to learn. Students get hands on experience with art. They even have the opportunity to attend a field trip to the museum to see art exhibits in person.”

A8 • THE LONG-ISLANDER • JULY 20-26, 2017

Throughout the summer, Heckscher Museum is offering “Drop In” summer arts Wednesdays for kids.

The various educational programs are all run by trained museum educators.

“There’s no experience required.

Bring a desire to have fun and an open mind,” Weiner said.

Exhibitions Heckscher Museum’s current exhibits reflect water, nature, narratives and more.

The exhibit “Thaddeus Holownia Walden Revisited” will be on view in the museum until July 30. It pays homage to American writer Henry David Thoreau, whose experiment with simple living occurred at Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts.

“The monumental photographs that cover the walls of the museum detail nature and trees. These are enveloping images that make an impression on the viewer,” Jill Rowen, marketing director at Heckscher, said.

Another exhibit that focuses on the reflection of nature is “Earth Muse: Art and the Environment,” which will be in the museum until July 30. The exhibit highlights arial images of Long Island waters reflecting the beauty and diversity of nature.

A continuing exhibit that is currently in the museum is “The Art of

Narrative.”

Rowen added, “Everyone can relate to his exhibition which makes it so unique. Each artwork tells its own story.”

The exhibit is comprised of sculpture, photography, prints and paintings dating from the 16th- through 20thcenturies.

Joy Weiner said, “One artwork that kids in our education programs typically gravitate towards from “The Art of Narrative” collection is the Subway Series by Gary Erbe.” Through his paintings, Erbe creates the illusion that the objects in his paintings are real by painting each item life size, in addition to using shadow and texture techniques.

Heckscher Museum will be closed July 31-Aug. 4 due to exhibition changes.

“Ebb & Flow” will be the new exhibit to see in August and it is perfect for the summer season. Featuring over 55 paintings, prints and photographs, Ebb & Flow depicts images featuring the Long Island shores. This exhibit highlights many local Long Island artists and is the “first time the museum has dedicated an entire exhibit to seascapes from its permanent collection,” Weiner stated.

Reverend Honored For 30 Years Of Service

Rev. Jerry Artis, pastor and founder of Love Christ Fellowship Church in Huntington, will be commemorated for his 30 years of community service and 22 years of pastoral work at the Gloria Dei Evangelical Lutheran Church.

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

It was 1968, and the “rich, baritone voice” of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. came over the television set, catching the attention of 15-year-old Jerry Artis, as he was heading out of his childhood home in Chesapeake, Virginia to play basketball.

“He said, ‘Lord Jesus, we can’t go on living like this, it’s just not right,’ and he began to talk about how we’re all God’s children and God wants us to love each other,” said Artis, who is now a reverend himself. “When I heard him that day and I saw the sincerity in his face and listened to the intensity of his words, it brought tears to my eyes. You could tell he was speaking from deep down within his soul and that really caught my attention.”

Young Artis thought to himself, “I would like to be like him.”

Now 63, Artis is the pastor and founder of Love Christ Fellowship Church in Huntington and will be commemorated next week for his 30 years of community service and 22 years of pastoral work at the Gloria Dei Evangelical Lutheran Church in

Huntington Station.

The event at Gloria Dei Evangelical Lutheran Church (22 East 18th Street, Huntington Station) will be held July 29, 1 p.m., and open to the public.

Artis said it was Martin Luther King Jr. and his childhood mentor Rev. John Cherry, Sr., of Lee’s Chapel AME Church in Chesapeake, who inspired him to join the ministry.

Cherry taught him how to break down the Bible and make it teachable for people to fully understand it. Artis uses those methods today when conducting Bible study classes.

Growing up, Artis attended the Lee’s Chapel AME Church and said he read the entire Bible one summer when he was 11 years old.

“I loved church, especially Sunday school, and then I started reading the Bible one summer and I couldn’t put it down,” he said, “That’s where it started.”

Artis moved to Brooklyn in 1979 and attended the AME Bible Institute in Queens and was fully ordained as pastor in 1993.

He commuted to Huntington from Brooklyn when he began his work as a youth minister at Cummings AME

Church in Huntington in 1991. Before moving to Huntington in 1999, Artis became a pastor of Cummings AME in 1995, and remained there for 14 years.

In 2009, Artis went independent and founded Love Christ Fellowship Church, which he operates out of his Huntington home with his wife and co-pastor, Glorious.

The couple met at Bethel Tabernacle AME Church in Brooklyn, Glorious, 66, said. They married in May 1995 and have four children.

Glorious said what she admires about her husband is his patience.

“I’m still trying to attain that level of patience,” she said with a laugh. “He’ll voice his opinion but he doesn’t do it in a belligerent, boisterous or confrontational way. He has the ability to stay calm and be the voice of reason when everything seems to be crazy.”

Along with his pastoral work, which also includes drug counseling, marriage counseling, and grief counseling, Artis is part of several organizations. He is the secretary of the Huntington Ecumenical Ministerial Alliance and chaplain of the National Association for the Advancement of

Colored People.

Artis is also a facilitator for the Huntington Community Police Conversation, a monthly meeting that opens discussions between members of the community and members of the Suffolk County Police Department Second Precinct. With that, Artis was previously the unit leader of the boys and girls club at the Huntington Station Enrichment Center, which is now the Huntington Resource Opportunity Center.

On his free time, Artis plays chess on the computer, writes music, and often sings with the Deacon Ainsley Harris and the Sounds of Victory band in Brooklyn.

When he learned the community going to honor him, he said he was humbled and I felt honored.

“It didn’t really sink in until a few weeks later because I never had such an honor like that. I’m very grateful,” he said. “I’m the type of person to just do my work and just do my ministry. The greatest satisfaction is knowing that you helped someone get through something… Money can’t buy that kind of satisfaction and it makes it all worthwhile.”

With its new Louisiana-born and bred executive chef Bobby Bouyer, Storyville American Table continues on its foundation of Creole and Cajun cuisine, with its new lead seeking to further refine and develop a “roller coaster of flavor.”

Bouyer first moved to West Hempstead nine years ago, and took on head chef duties at Delta Grill in Hell’s Kitchen, one block away from Restaurant Row. “It was like a fish out of water coming from the country, to basically right in the heat of the opposite. It’s so magnified. It’s a different pace,” Bouyer said.

Six years later, he opened up Biscuits & Barbeque in Mineola. And, just months ago, he was appointed as head of Storyville in the “hidden gem” that is Huntington.

He looked back at Louisiana’s 100year cuisinal history under its belt, melding the tastes of Africans, Native American, Spanish and French.

“Not only did we coexist, but we blended. So, we took a little bit from each culture and then made dishes,” Bouyer said.

He splits his Pelican State roots with the predominantly Creole-tinged northwest city of Alexandria — where he grew up — with his father’s side in the southeast Houma, known for their Cajun flavor.

Wielding 20 years of culinary expertise, he blends the two, but errs on

Storyville’s New Chef Serves Up Creole, ‘Slow And Low’

The Fire and Rice Jambalaya is served with either chicken, shrimp, crawfish or duck, and blends rice with Cajun onion, green peppers and celery.

Louisiana-born and bred executive chef Bobby Bouyer aspires to bring diners authentic cuisine that’s more Creole than Cajun. the Creole side. With this in mind, Storyville’s dishes do bring some heat to the table, but it’s mild enough for all kinds of diners.

Strolling through Storyville’s “Garden District,” the Drunken Shrimp and Black Voodoo Rice Salad ($16.95) features large Gulf shrimp soaked in cucumber vodka and cooked on a flat top grill, served alongside black voodoo rice in a Thai sesame dressing with mixed greens. The grilled shrimp brings a bit of spiced heat that perfectly pairs with the fantastically textured and almost creamy rice drizzled with the sesame dressing.

The Southern standard dish of Gumbo ($5.95) pairs excellently with any meal. A hearty seasoned stew, it’s a medley of sultry flavors will tantalize your taste buds with an almost

silky smooth texture accented by the chunky bits of sausage and chicken.

For a little “Sumpin Sumpin,” the Chicken Fried Shrimp ($11.95) appetizer plates up fried jumbo Gulf shrimp pounded thin and coated with seasoned flour, spices and buttermilk with smoked sausage country gravy.

With a thick crunch, the shrimp is steeped in a rustic flavor that’s compounded by the chunky and meaty gravy that’s almost a dish on its own.

The Fire and Rice Jambalaya ($21.95 with chicken, $23.95 with shrimp or with crawfish, $25.95 with duck) is packed with the Cajun “holy trinity” of onion, green peppers and celery, and seasoned with “heat and love,” all mixed up with tomato, ham, smoked andouille sausage and rice.

Infused with a tempered spiciness, it’s a storm of spiced veggies and meats that tickles the palate with joy.

The Hurricane ($12 for a 16 oz.

“Category 2,” $16 for a 24 oz. “Category 4”) features dark rum and Pat O’Brien’s Hurricane Cocktail Mix, straight from the French Quarter. The Louisiana mainstay is a sweet, cooling burst of fruity flavor that complements the warmer tones of your meal.

The Beignets ($8), brought to Louisiana by the Acadians, are square pieces of dough that are fried and layered thick with powdered sugar. The slightly chewy, slightly flakey beignets are a treat to eat, with each chewy bite destined to be dipped with the paired caramel sauce and topped with a bit of whipped cream.

ATTENTION STUDENTS: Online publication Spoon University, an everyday source of food news, features and videos for the younger generation, is looking for students to join its new high school chapter. Spoon U, which isn’t just for college students, helps contributors improve writing, videography and photography skills. “This is a great way to get ahead before stepping foot on a college campus. Students can also build up an online portfolio of writing that the whole world can appreciate and share on various social media platforms,” Samantha Long Islander News Photo/Lauren Peller

PRIMI, SECONDI...: A former Foodie’s trip to the south shore brought back warm memories of noshing on Nutella pizza at former Huntington village dining spot Doppio Artisan Bistro. Frank Bono, who co-owned Doppio, has returned to his south shore roots and is now at the helm of Primi Italian Steakhouse (999 Montauk Highway, West Islip, 631-526-9779, Primiitalian.com), which he opened in early 2016. The decor is stunning, from the high ceilings of the bar and the intimacy of the

dining room to the outdoor patio with string lights. Clams oreganata ($12) are excellent, served in a skillet and made with whole clams and a lovely lemon caper sauce. The calamari ($16) is tops as well, with fried cherry peppers that add a nice touch, but our former Foodie was particularly impressed with the cavatelli pasta dish, made with lamb sausage, broccoli rabe and ricotta salata. And of course, in true Doppio style, specialty pizzas are on the menu.

business Cheers: Board Approves Village’s First Brewery

By Andrew Wroblewski awroblewski@longislandergroup.com

A local homebrewer’s plan to open Huntington village’s first craft brewery was approved last week, but with one exception.

Mark Heuwetter, 54, of Huntington, an investment consultant who has doubled as a homebrewer for nearly a decade, wants to turn his hobby into a business by opening Six Harbors Brewing Company at 243 New York Ave., the former site of Evergreen Cleaners, next to Burger King.

But his plan to include a tasting room alongside the brewery will have to wait, at least for now.

The Huntington Zoning Board of Appeals approved Six Harbors as a retail-only brewery, permitting it to soon sell canned beers and growler fills for off-site consumption.

Huntington-based attorney Michael McCarthy, who is representing Heuwetter, asked the board for approval to amend the proposal to only seek approval for the retail use, bringing the plan for Six Harbors in line with what newly-opened Harbor Head Brewing Company currently offers in Northport.

McCarthy said the plan is to reproach the board after further traffic studies are conducted to seek ap-

proval for a tasting room. “We want to come back with a more-comprehensive analysis,” he said.

McCarthy said the current approval will help Heuwetter move his plan along and eventually open for business.

Heuwetter said last week that he’s already secured both a federal microbrewery license and tentative approval from the state. With town approval, he’ll be able to move forward with renovations to both the

property and existing 2,533-square-foot building, and then get final approval from the state, he said.

Heuwetter said, “The timing is right for something like this. There are more people, apartments, in town and it’s becoming a walkable village.”

ZBA Chairman Chris Modelewski said that when Heuwetter re-approaches the board to seek approval for a tasting room that its members will have to determine the type of use the business will fall under.

If it’s that of a bar/tavern, Heuwetter will likely need approval of a parking variance.

Modelewski also called craft breweries a “magnet” for business.

“They seem to be very well received by the public,” he said. “We are cognizant of the fact that they are little economic engines, and… they do attract a very loyal and consistent following. That’s been the experience that many of us in the land-use community have noted, not just here in the township, but throughout Suffolk County and Long Island.”

Both of the Town of Huntington’s current breweries operate in the Village of Northport. Harbor Head Brewing Company, which opened last month, is located in the Britannia Yachting Center along Fort Salonga Road, and Sand City Brewing Co. has operated both a tasting room and brewery on Main Street since 2015.

Celebrity Stylist Brings High Fashion To Village

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Bridget Carlton, owner of Jessie & Sullivan, has a keen eye for picking the latest fashion trends, providing personal service and coordinating the perfect wardrobe for her clients.

A celebrity stylist for 14 years, Carlton opened the 1,000-squarefoot women’s clothing boutique in Huntington village after moving to town with her family in June 2016.

Jessie & Sullivan offers pants, tshirts, sweaters, jewelry, shoes and more from quality brands like Xirena, NSF, Frame, Chaser, and Bobi. It also carries local brands, such as Bonded By Beads in Babylon, Carlton said.

“The designers that I love and that I know celebrities crave and that really thrive in L.A. and N.Y. I couldn’t find here,” she said. “I wanted to bring all of the celebrity favorites and the great quality of products here.”

In 2003, Carlton graduated from Alfred University, where she worked in fashion shows, dressing models and coordinating their outfits. Well

A celebrity stylist for 14 years, Bridget Carlton, owner of Jessie & Sullivan, has previously worked with clients, such as Paris and Nicky Hilton, Renee Zellweger, Kate Hudson, and Katie Holmes.

after she graduated, Carlton said, she began working at Intermix in Manhattan, where she learned the ropes of being a personal stylist.

She has previously worked with clients such as Paris and Nicky Hilton, Renee Zellweger, Kate Hudson, and Katie Holmes. She said she loved the job, giving them wardrobes for seasons and events.

The boutique, located at 286 New York Ave., Huntington, opened in October 2016. Last week, there was a ribbon cutting ceremony Opening October 2016, Jessie & Sullivan focuses on with the Huntington the casual, selling pants, t-shirts, sweaters, jewelry, Chamber of Commerce, shoes and more. which Jessie & Sullivan

is a member of.

Prices range from $20-$1,000, depending on the item. When picking style of clothing to carry, Carlton said she wanted to emphasize on casual items.

“I love walking into a store and seeing all these beautiful things but a lot of the times it doesn’t relate to a woman’s real life,” she said. “A lot of women are super busy being a mom, being a student or busy with work so I made it a focus to have more everyday clothes that could transcend from work to throwing on a pair of heels or staying in and relaxing.”

What makes a good stylist is having the innate drive to care about clients and the field.

“You have to want to do a lot of research and you have to want to stay current with styles and events that are going on,” Carlton said. “You

have to have patients and you have to want to help people and care about fashion.”

What she loves about her job is connecting with women, while helping them focus on the great aspects of their physical appearance.

“Sometimes when women come in there, they tell me what they don’t like about themselves, but I show them all the other aspects of themselves that are amazing,” she said. “I love bonding with women and I love helping them realize that.”

Understanding How Federal Taxes Affect You

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

You work all year earning a living and then in April of the next year the government comes calling and asking you to contribute to their coffers.

You and or your certified public accountant are obliged to gather information and details of your income and outgo. It is wise for you to understand your tax bracket, your filing status and which income tax rate(s) apply to you. Depending on your filing status and how much taxable income you earned will determine how much tax you will owe (Irs.com/articles/whatis-tavable-income-2).

We will discuss marginal income tax brackets, federal filing statuses, and income tax rates. Hopefully this will help you prepare a tax strategy. You are obliged to pay taxes, however you are not obliged to pay the maximum tax if you work with a good CPA on ways to reduce your tax obligation legally.

Marginal tax brackets basically represent the highest tax rate that you must pay on your income. There are six marginal tax brackets currently which are 10-, 15-, 25-, 28-, 33- and 35-percent. This is a gradual tax schedule, which states that the more you earn the more tax you owe. The

amount you earn determines your tax return or file separate returns. There bracket and how much tax you are are a number of reasons couples may obliged to pay.

Exec. Director www.huntingtonchamber .com

A Message From The Chairman It has been almost two months since I had the honor of becoming chairman of our board of directors.

It has been wonderful working with the terrific chamber staff. I look forward to continuing the great synergy that our board of directors and staff have working together.

There are many exciting things happening at the chamber this summer.

The Young Professionals completed their Summer Scavenger Hunt last week. It was another smashing success.

We want to thank all our members who participated. We had about 40 young professionals flit about town to our local restaurants and retailers generating revenue and exposure for our member businesses. We also want to thank our board members who were stationed throughout the town providing clues

and in some instances comedy.

On Tuesday, July 18, we had our Summer Soiree “White Attire Party” at Sunken Meadow State Park’s Pavilion. It too was huge success. We had over 200 guests enjoy great food, beverages, including craft beer from Six Harbor Brewing Company, and incredible raffle prizes while dancing up a storm.

The Chamber Fall Festival Committee, co-chaired by Robert Bontempi and Brian Yudewitz, is in the thick of preparations for the Fall Festival. We have our entertainment lineup all set.

We have many returning vendors and some new exciting attractions. There are still sponsorships and vendor spaces available. Please contact our chamber staff if you want to reserve a spot. They are selling out fast.

I hope everyone enjoys the remainder of the summer. I look forward to seeing everyone as we support our members and I continue to encourage everyone to “Buy Local.”
