MUSIC An Evening With Ambrosia & Friends SPOTLIGHT

By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

Ambrosia and Friends is bringing an evening of hits from the ’70s and early ’80s to The Paramount later this month.

The show, dubbed “An Evening in Time,” will feature soft rock group Ambrosia, known for “Biggest Part of Me” and “How Much I Feel”, as well as artists Bill Champlin, Robbie Dupree, John Ford Coley and Peter Beckett, best known for the 1977 hit “Baby Come Back.”

Beckett, 69, said each of the artists will perform individually, but will all appear together on stage at the end of the show to perform a song that everyone can sing along to.

“It’s a great night because people know all the songs,” Beckett said.

The former voice of the band Player, Beckett grew up in Liverpool but currently lives outside of Los Angeles. He said the idea of collaborating with other artists from the ’70s and ’80s began through the Yacht Rock movement on the west coast, and that different variations of the collaborative concert have been performing all year.

“It’s actually a lot of fun, and we are really grateful that people still want to come out and see us,” Beckett said.

Ambrosia’s drummer Burleigh Drummond, 66, said the band has played with Beckett many times, and that Bill Champlin was one of their first major influences.

“This is the inaugural time that these guys will be joining us,” Drummond said. “We are fans of the other artists, and fortunately over the years we have had the opportunity to play with a lot of great musicians.”

Ambrosia, which Drummond said plays 60-80 shows a year, will open The Paramount show before fans hear a variety of other styles.

“Peter Beckett has a rock star side that is a perfect fit for the show; the fans are going to hear a hits package from a variety of artists,” Drummond said.

Drummond, like Beckett, lives in the hills outside of Los Angeles, but visits Long Island for a couple of shows each year.

“The east coast was always the bigger fans of our progressive stuff, and it’s always a refreshing change to play there,” he said.

“If you’re thinking of coming to the show at The Paramount, just come,” Beckett said. “Bring everybody, it’s going to be a family affair.”

Doors will open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show. Tickets are $29.50-$89.50 and available at the box office or Paramountny.com.

Students across Long Island and the Town of Huntington put the dark and strange in Halloween, using their creative talents to craft spooky artwork for the Huntington Arts Council’s 6th Annual Nightmare on Main Street exhibit.

“We are excited to once again present Nightmare on Main Street Student Art Exhibit,” Marc Courtade, executive director of the Huntington Arts Council, said, adding that the exhibit is as popular as ever. “The scope of talent is remarkable.”

The Huntington Arts Council asked students to submit work that was inspired by the storytelling narrative of Halloween. This included work inspired by horror films, legends and comics that surround the Halloween holiday.

The exhibit went on display at the 213 Main St. gallery in Huntington last Friday, Oct. 13, and features 33 pieces of artwork from 27 students from towns across Long Island.

WALT’S CORNER AFTER HERACLITUS (FRAG. I)

Art Walk To Feature Musicians, New Spots

Several colorful flags will be spread throughout Huntington village on Sunday to act as landmarks for village-goers, as local art organizations and artists will host its fourth Huntington Village Art Walk.

The self-guided tour is filled with a variety of artworks at seven different locations, where walkers can meet some of the artists, enjoy food and refreshments, and try their luck to win raffle prizes. For the first time there will be a raffle prize at each location.

Wendy Curtis, co-owner of the Huntington Arts Center, spearheaded the event in May 2016 as a way to help raise awareness and support the local galleries, museums and artists in Huntington.

Hosting the Art Walk twice a year, once in May and again in October, Curtis said she’s continued with the event to build “community spirit for the arts and to educate people on the funky art scene that we have in Huntington village.”

The Huntington Arts Center will feature work from artists such as Marie Sheehy Walker and Holly Gordon. In addition, the location will have performances by local Huntington musicians, Toby Tobias, Richie Guerrero and Cosmo Mallardi, from 12 noon-4 p.m.

Participating locations include fotofoto gallery and the Moon Rose (14 West Carver St.), b.j. spoke gallery (299 Main St.), The Huntington Art Center (11 Wall St.), Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Building (228 Main St.), Huntington Arts Council (213 Main St.), Heckscher Museum of Art (2 Prime Ave), and for the first time this year Clayvista at Conklin Barn (2 High St.).

The Art Walk kicks off at the Conklin Barn and will feature the artwork of Robin Horn, owner of Clayvista Studio.

Specializing in handcrafted ceramic tiles and accessories, Horn, of Centerport, said she wanted to participate this October to expose her work to the community.

“I was really happy that Wendy had gone through the trouble to encourage the art scene in Huntington,” Horn

Horn will feature custom tile murals and wall décor trivets during the event, and will offer refreshments and a raffle for a gift basket.

“I hope to meet some new people that are interested in art and make some connections,” Horn said, adding that her expectation is for people to enjoy the day. “Even if they don’t buy anything, I’d love it if they come and enjoy looking around.”

With “The Lockhorns Meet Howard Huge: Cartoons by Bill & Bunny Hoest” exhibition on display at the Heckscher Park Museum of Art, the museum will have a book signing by writer Bunny Hoest during the Art Walk, from 1-3 p.m.

e r u t a r e t li Author Talks Ghastly Crimes In Latest Book

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Author and Huntington resident Kerriann Flanagan Brosky is known for her bone-chilling books based on real life events across Long Island. Just in time for Halloween, Brosky will be touring Long Island to market her new book, “Historic Crimes of Long Island: Misdeeds from the 1600s to the 1950s.”

This is Brosky’s eighth book, following her books on paranormal events on Long Island, such as “Historic Haunts Of Long Island: Ghosts and Legends from the Gold Coast to Montauk Point,” which the eight-time award winner released in 2015.

“Historic Crimes of Long Island” features a collection of 20 ghastly and captivating historical crimes that took

place on Long Island, between the 1600s-1950s.

The book starts with the unsolved 1872 murder of Charles Kelsey, a wealthy Huntington farmer, who was tarred and feathered before disappearing. Half of Kelsey’s body was found floating in Oyster Bay months later and the upper portion of his body was never found.

The book discusses a series of other crimes that took place on Long Island, including several around the Huntington area, such as the 1842 Alexander Smith murder in Greenlawn; the story of Dr. James W. Simpson, who survived from a gunshot by his mother-inlaw in 1908 in Northport; the horrific acts led by Colonel Benjamin Thompson, also known as Count Rumford, at Old Burial Ground in Huntington dur-

Kerriann Flanagan Brosky unveils ghastly and fascinating historical crimes committed on Long Island and within the Town of Huntington, including the infamous unsolved murder of Huntington farmer Charles Kelsey in 1872. ing the American Revolutionary War; the murder of broker Henry Hemming and suicide of gardener Frank Eberhardt that took place on Duck Island in Asharoken in 1921.

Brosky said it took around a year of research to put the book together. She loved it.

“Writing a book like this was like solving a puzzle at times because some of it was real ‘who done it?’ stories, where there was no answer and no solution to some of the stories,” Brosky

said. “I really liked putting the pieces together and seeing it come together as a coherent story.”

She admits that she was more frightened writing this book than the “Ghost of Long Island” books since these stories involved crimes, some unsolved.

“What I learned from it is that the same thing is true today,” she said.

“There are good people, there are bad people and people commit crimes and it’s always for the same reason.”

MUSIC Record Number, 12, Selected To All-State Festival

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Twelve Northport high schoolers have been selected to the NYSSMA All-State festival, breaking a school record.

In addition, a total of 23 students, including the 12 selected for All-State, have been selected for the 2017 NYSCAME All-County music festival.

“We’re very proud of our kids that are participating both at county level and the state level,” Izzet Mergen, director of fine and performing arts, said. “They’re both absolutely wonderful accomplishments and we’re real proud of the kids.”

In order to be selected for the NYSCAME, 11th and 12th graders must score among the top NYSCAME musicians across the county. After students are selected, they go on to participate in three intensive rehearsal sessions to prepare for a concert, which will be held Nov. 17 at Hauppauge

Students selected for NYSCAME include Ashleigh Basel, Lee Ann Chu, John Cooney, Bobby Cozzette, Lucas Cusati, Ryan Dee, Anna Denfeld, Jennie Dworkin, Kyle Flanagan, Justin Fligstein, Pegeen Friese, Julia Hahn, Jennifer Halpern, Nicholas Holfester, Amelia Libbey, Nicole Millmann, Luke Petronella, Gabriel Sherman, Katie Sierra, Benjamin Strait, Daniel Rodriguez, Madison Tamayo, and Natalie Van Wickler.

“Our participation in All-County honors ensembles has consistently grown over the past five years, which is great and that’s something to be proud of,” Mergen said. “A larger percentage of students are taking advantage of those opportuni-

ties. “Despite the number of school age children diminishing, we have even more students participating, which is wonderful.”

Students who will also be attending the NYSSMA All-State festival and compete on a statewide level are Basel, Cusati, Dee, Denfeld, Dworkin, Fligstein, Hahn, Holfester, Millmann, Petronella, Sherman, and Sierra.

These students scored among the top musicians in New York State and will travel to Rochester to perform at the Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre from Nov. 30-Dec. 3.

Mergen added, “We’re very proud of our students and their teachers and we look forward to hearing other great things as they move forward in

She added that the book demonstrates recurring motives like jealousy, love, money and revenge.

“People are fascinated with these crimes, let alone ones that are historic in nature, because it gives us an insight as to what goes on behind closed doors.

They want to know what happens,” said Brosky, who was vice president of the Huntington Historical Society from 1997-2003 and has served on the Greenlawn-Centerport Historical Asso-

ciation board.

She added, “I think this book is going to be just as popular because people are obsessed with crimes and why people do things, and the stories are really fascinating.”

The book was officially published Sept. 4 and Brosky kicked off the tour with a book launch at Book Revue in Huntington on Friday.

At her book launch event, Brosky announced that she’s signed a contract to have her debut novel “The Medal,” which was published in 2012, turned into a film. Although the project is in its infancy, Brosky said she’s excited for the process to beginning.

Brosky is set to host lectures and book signings for “Historic Crimes” at several other locations across Huntington leading up to Huntington. The next one is going to be today, 12 noon-2:30 p.m. at Black & Blue Seafood Chophouse for a Huntington Historical Society Lecture and Luncheon, and she’ll also make an appearance at Cold Spring Harbor Library tonight, 7 -8:30 p.m. Information on further appearances is available at Kerriannflanaganbrosky.com.

Fall decorations accentuated Fado’s Restaurant Week offerings of Portuguese treats.

A newcomer to both the Huntington village scene and Restaurant Week, Babalu announced on its Facebook page Monday that it’s continuing to offer its prix-fixe menu through Oct. 22.

By Connor Beach

Randy Warren, the manager of Hush said that the restaurant would “absolutely” consider participating in the promotion the next time it comes around.

“Restaurant Week has been driving traffic for sure, we are definitely taking on some more guests,” Warren said, adding that just under half of the bistro’s patrons decided to order from the prix fixe menu.

Although Jonathan’s at 15 Wall St. in Huntington has participated in Restaurant Week before, this year owner Roberto Ornato and manager Alex Vergara decided to take advantage of the choice and offer diners a $40 menu.

“It really worked out; it’s really great,” Ornato said.

cbeach@longislandergroup.com

The ninth annual Fall Dine Huntington Restaurant Week ended Sunday, and many of the restaurants that chose to offer a prix fixe menu during the weeklong promotion are happy they did.

This year’s restaurant week featured an interesting option for restaurants; the option to offer their prix fixe menu at $20, $30, $40 or multiple menus.

Hush Bistro, a newcomer to the Huntington village restaurant scene, decided to offer customers who visited during their first Restaurant Week a $30 menu that included southern fried chicken, crispy salmon and apple pie.

Ornato said he felt that this year’s format of three price choices was a good idea because each restaurant can adjust the dishes they offer to fit the price and quality.

“It is tougher to put together a $27.99 menu, because at the higher price point you can offer more quality dishes on the menu,” Vergara said.

Jonathan’s $40 prix fixe menu offered dishes, like Long Island duck breast, that Ornato said they were previously unable to include.

“Next year we would suggest that everyone chose the $40 option,” Ornato said.

Dine Huntington Restaurant Week will return this spring. Updates will be posted to DineHuntington.com

b u s in e s s Impenetrable Themes

By Peter J. Klein, CFA, CRPS, CAP pklein@hightoweradvisors.com

The world is a volatile place these days – though you wouldn’t know that from the market action – an absence of fear and concern. The VIX or “fear” index has been plumbing 30-year lows, which is very unusual this late in the cycle.

I have been reflecting on certain themes in the economy and markets that have “legs,” as they say, despite the craziness described above. I have come to call these “Impenetrable Themes” for I believe these types of investment pathways will survive and thrive in any economic or market climate. Much of this thinking is rooted in the elements of secular, rather than cyclical, strategies, whereby the economics, pricing and growth prospects are likely to exist for many years to come. Consider such themes of the recent past, the emerging markets 20 some odd years ago, the internet (e-

commerce, technology interface) 15 or so years ago and communication over the last 20 years or so – major themes with long glide paths.

So what are themes for the next 20 or so years? I have identified five: genomics, water and infrastructure, cyber security, the Internet of Things (IoT) and solar energy. Here’s a briefing on two of those themes: • Genomics: It has been more than 15 years since the sequencing of the human genome was orchestrated and from that monumental body of work has come hundreds of opportunities in medical research. From CRISPR technology, where genes can be edited to remove problematic, diseasecausing genes, to cancer screening to avoid unnecessary chemotherapy and develop the best pathways for drug discovery, the study of genomics holds huge potential. Of course with the advent of this “personalized medicine” there are several ethical issues that are sure to flummox our society for years to come. The good news cannot be ignored: lives are being saved. And this

help couldn’t come soon enough. The population in the U.S. with a chronic disease is projected to increase 36 percent to 170 million in 2030 from 125 million in 2000, according to The National Institute of Health. This increasing life expectancy trend squarely places the healthcare sector at ground zero for future risks. The genomics sector is helping to stem that tide a bit. There have been new drugs and therapies that have come from translating genomics into products, such as blood thinner sensitivity medicines and possible treatments for thrombosis. Today’s doctors are much more aligned with the study of genetics and genetic testing and, as such, are more likely to adopt screening in their practice. Expect continued substantial growth going forward.

• Water and Infrastructure: We have ignored our infrastructure in this country for way too long. Now is the time to re-invest. The water sector, where the interconnected channels of pipes, pumps and valves bring water to treatment plants and eventually to our homes and offices, is under stress.

A new paradigm is needed to secure the safe delivery of water. The economics of the water sector itself are quite compelling – the scarcity of clean, potable water supplies and the increased demand from urbanization, population growth and global warm-

ing/draughts. There are no substitutes for water, it is a basic staple of life and commerce. The companies that focus on water, its delivery, treatment and sourcing, are likely to have opportunities going forward.

While there are no silver bullets, secret sauces or magic panaceas for all investment ills – the fact remains that good old fashioned homework will always win the day. These themes are likely to be major opportunities in the future and investors need to understand what is involved in each of these in order to make informed investment decisions.

Spotlight On

Huntington Businesses

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Leah Casabona, owner of Morolay Children’s Boutique in Huntington, moved to the United States from the Philippines in 1992 with a passion to one day open her own clothing store.

“It had to be somewhere where I could also raise my kids,” Casabona, 48, of Huntington, said. “Huntington is a fantastic town, it’s very quaint and is a place where you can raise your children.

After passing by the stores current 302 New York Ave. location, Casabona said she fell in love with the building and the village, and accomplished her dream of opening up Morolay’s in 1999.

Casabona had a knack for children, having been an elementary teacher in the Philippines and raising two daughters, Monica and Cassidy.

She said she always enjoyed dressing up her daughters and developed an eye for beautiful classic clothing for children. This inspired her to focus her store on children’s clothing.

The 1,200-square-foot location, offers special occasion clothing and accessories for boys and girls, from infants to 12 years old, and also offers plus sizes. Special occasions include weddings, holidays, christenings and communions.

Morolay’s also offers gift sets, toys, shoes and role play dress up outfits, which include several different Disney princess dresses.

Along with the fall season and holidays, Casabona said this is the busiest time of the year, as she prepares for the communion season, between November and May. Preparation includes rearranging the store, taking dress and suit orders from customers, and arranging dress and suit alterations. For the dresses, Casabona said receives nearly 100 for the communion season.

Morolay offers both affordable and high quality for its communion dresses and suits, ranging from $79$1,000. While many customers can purchase dresses off the rack, Casabona suggests that customers interested in purchasing high-end items place an order. The stores high-end collection includes brands like Christie Helene, Joan Calabrese, Mon Cheri, and Sweetie Pie Collections.

Morolay’s will be kicking off its communion season with sales on Oct. 30, the same day the store opened 18 years ago.

Casabona focuses on offering a wonderful experience for customers, added that she receives most of her customers through word-of-mouth.

“I pick what I love and I select items that look different, with a style that will last forever,” Casabona said.

“Customers say that they enjoy coming here because I have very different dresses than what you can find at other boutiques and department stores, and my prices are affordable.”

The store is also organized and stays a step ahead, with all fall and winter dresses, particularly for holiday occasions, already in stock.

“I love shopping for new stuff and finding all the fun in fashionable dresses and outfits,” Casabona said. “I love arranging them, displaying them and making children smile when they wear them. There’s nothing better than having a job that you love.”

business Networking Day Brings Women, Nonprofits Together

By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

The Town of Huntington and Island Better Hearing will once again sponsor the annual Women’s Networking Day in East Northport to encourage nonprofits and women business owners from around Huntingtin to interact with the public and each other.

Chairwomen of the Women’s Advisory Council Rhonda Shepardson, a Huntington resident, said the event was originally created to benefit the council’s nonprofit members.

“Sixteen years ago the nonprofit groups asked if we could organize an event to help them increase public awareness of their work with residents in the town,” Shepardson said.

Over the course of 16 years Shepardson said the event has evolved to also offer an environment where members of different nonprofit groups can network with each other and share ideas. The event is expected to include representatives from around 30 nonprofits that focus on issues primarily affecting women, such as the Family Service League, the Dolan Family Health Center and the Huntington Breast Cancer Coalition.

The event will also feature an award ceremony during which the town board will honor five Huntington women for their exceptional work in the community, according to Shepardson.

“We have access to the entire Larkfield, and we are expecting to have around 450 people at the networking day,” Shepardson said.

In addition to the nonprofits, Shepardson said there would also be booths that display products from women business owners.

Women’s Networking Day is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 26 at the Larkfield (507 Larkfield Road, East Northport). Tickets cost $12 ($10 for seniors). The networking portion of the event will run from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. after which lunch will be served.

The awards ceremony will begin at 1:30 p.m.

Members of the dance group The Red Hot Mamas perform at last year’s Women’s Networking Day at the Larkfield.

Huntington High School Robotics Team 5016 is entering the preseason of its fifth year in uncharted territory; this year’s team will not include any of the founding members of the program.

However, vice-captain senior Matt Wildermuth pointed out that the team is used to facing and overcoming new challenges.

“We started out in a small classroom with a very limited membership, and now we have an entire woodshop and we are 65 kids,” Wildermuth said. “In that time span we have gone to world championships three times, and we went in our rookie year as well.”

The build season begins in early January when FIRST Steamworks releases the perimeters for the games, but team captain senior Timothy Low said preparation for the season has already started.

“A week or two after school starts we start recruiting members, and from that point on until January we are teaching the incoming team members all the tasks that they need to know, like how to build the robot or how to make a sponsorship pitch,” Wildermuth said.

Wildermuth said the six-week build season mimics a real life scenario, with a real life crunch, that leads into the competition season in March.

“Every year FIRST releases a new challenge, and in this challenge they have different components that are part of the game,” Low said. “For example, last year we had to go over

different terrain defenses and shoot a ball into a tower.”

The competition takes business skills as well as technological knowhow, according to Wildermuth.

Chief Technology Officer senior John Riley said that programming plays a large part in the competition and how the robot functions.

“We’re using Java. We have an electronics based control system that pretty much cyphers language from the computer and tells the robot what to do,” Riley said.

Low said the team has an overall budget of $50,000, about $20,000 of which is provided by Huntington High School. The Head of Business Operations senior Lindsay Saginaw said that the remaining $30,000 is raised through pitching to corporate sponsors, writing grants, and hosting fundraisers.

“Throughout our preseason, build season and even post season, our marketing and our business team is out in the community making connections with people and corporations, and that is where a large part of our funds come from,” Saginaw said. She added that the team does not charge dues and is completely free to join.

The Huntington Robotics Parents Association will hold a fundraiser for the team on Nov. 1, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Launchpad of Huntington (315 Main St.), according to the association’s President Mike McGinniss. Anyone interested in learning more about the event, the team or anyone looking to donate can visit Team5016.com for more information.
