comedy Silly Fads Beware: Chris D’Elia Is Coming SPOTLIGHT

By Jano Tantongco jtantongco@longislandergroup.com

Comedian Chris D’Elia will share laughs with audience members, poke fun at the latest trends and create a new slew of inside jokes at The Paramount on June 17.

“I’m there to make people laugh. I’m there to laugh with them,” D’Elia said. “I hope they walk away knowing a little bit more about me.”

Audiences can expect to see some of D’Elia’s new material, since he’s on the heels of a new special he’ll be releasing in about a month; it’s called “Man on Fire.”

He’s also recently started the “Congratulations” podcast since he finds enough material in daily life.

With the podcast, he comments on latest trends like flocking to the Coachella music festival, men start-

ing to rock rompers and the fidget spinners that everyone can’t seem to get enough of.

“It’s just nothing. It’s not a thing. People are making money selling that nothing. I don’t even know who to get mad at, that’s the problem, whether to get mad at the person making it or get mad at the people for buying it.”

Recently starring in NBC series “Undateable,” D’Elia played a role in upcoming Netflix original movie “Little Evil,” as well as upcoming drama “Life in a Year.”

Looking back, D’Elia was always into comedy from a young age and was encouraged by his father, television screenwriter, director and producer Bill D’Elia, who showed Chris the works of greats like Eddie Murphy and Jim Carrey.

“My whole family is very silly. No matter kind of comedy I do, there’s an element of being silly.

That’s just what makes me laugh the hardest,” D’Elia said.

D’Elia has two shows slated, with doors opening at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show, and then at 10 p.m. for the 10:30 p.m. show. Tickets range from $25-$50 and can be purchased at the box office or at Paramountny.com

Comedian and actor Chris D’Elia will leave you in stitches, sharing inside jokes all the way home after his upcoming double feature at The Paramount on June 17.

FILM ‘Movies On The Lawn’ Returns This Month

This year’s Movies on the Lawn lineup features “Star Wars: Rogue One,” “Moana,” “Secret Life of Pets,” and “SING.”

By David Weber info@longislandergroup.com

Ready those beach towels and lawn chairs because the 14th annual Movies on the Lawn program debuts later this month, and the lineup is packed full of modern family favorites.

Four 2016 films will be shown for free on a massive screen as part of the nostalgia-driven, drive-in-style experience that’s like no other. They are “Star Wars: Rogue One,” “The Secret Life of Pets,” “Moana” and “Sing.”

To make sure the 14th season goes off without a hitch, Councilman Mark Cuthbertson has asked all those planning to attend to check for weather-related updates on the town website, Huntingtonny.gov, prior to each showing.

Cuthbertson added, “With every passing year, the crowd of movie-goers multiplies so it’s wise to arrive at each venue a little early. We plan to have some fun things to see and do before each show.”

Overflow parking will be available, with a bus service shuttling patrons and their belongings to and from each site. Movie showings begin at dark (around 8:30-9 p.m.). In case of rain, showings will be moved to Elwood Middle School’s auditorium at 478 Elwood Road, and will begin at 7:30 p.m.

“Star Wars: Rogue One” (rated PG13) leads the charge on Monday, June 26 in Huntington’s Heckscher Park.

Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film follows the epic journey of the Rebel Alliance as they attempt to steal secret plans for the Empire’s Death Star.

There’s a July 17 rain date set.

Next up, “The Secret Life of Pets” (rated PG) will be shown at Crab Meadow Beach in Northport on

Thursday, July 6. A giant screen will be set up in the parking lot for a drivein style movie experience. The animated comedy follows Max, a spoiled Jack Russell who lives with his owner in Manhattan. After Duke, a crazed canine, is adopted, both of their lives flip upside down when alley cats get them sent straight to the pound. The rain date is July 13.

Another drive-in is set for July 20 at Crab Meadow, where Disney’s “Moana” (rated PG) will hit the screen.

The film tells the story of Moana as she sets sail to save her people on a daring journey across the ocean. A rain date of July 27 has been set.

Before the movie, a basketball shootout will be held 6-7 p.m. on the Crab Meadow basketball courts. Two winners will receive a two-week camp session courtesy of Greenlawn-based Mercurio Basketball Camp.

Also that day, the town’s sixth annual Sand Castle Contest will be held on the beach. Kids and teenagers will be challenged to build the most creative sand structure. Two winners will get a gift certificate to Northport’s La Casa Café. The gates to the beach will open to participants at 4 p.m. for set up (also available through the town’s website).

The fourth film, “Sing” (rated PG), will be shown Monday, Aug. 14 at Peter Nelson Park on Oakwood Road in Huntington Station. The film takes place in a world filled with humanoid animals, where a theater owner tries to save his location with a singing contest.

This year’s events are sponsored by Huntington Honda, Jonathan’s Ristorante, La Casa Café and Mercurio Basketball Camp, along with Cuthbertson’s fellow board members, Susan Berland, Eugene Cook, Tracey Edwards and Supervisor Frank P. Petrone.

y r t n a e g pa Native Crowned ‘Ms. World Elite’

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

As the sash was wrapped around her shoulder and hip and she was handed a bouquet of red roses, Lidia Szczepanowski’s grin quickly widened as she knelt down to be crowned Ms. World Elite 2017.

The Ms. World Pageant, held May 26-28 at in Everett, Washington, featured 21 contestants, including Szczepanowski, of Dix Hills, the daughter of Polish immigrants who was crowned Ms. Poland in March. Both Ms. World title and Ms. World Elite were crowned. Szczepanowski said the elite designation is awarded to the highest scoring contestant who is over 40 years old.

“It’s empowering for me because age is only a number,” Szczepanowski, 52, said. “It doesn’t matter how old you are and the judges saw that beauty is not about being the youngest it’s just who you are as a person. It’s the total package.”

Szczepanowski was elated when she heard her name called.

“I didn’t think I was going to win. There were so many beautiful, intelligent, well spoken, and experienced women,” she said. “The fact that I won the top prize in my category, I couldn’t be happier.”

The pageant consisted of an interview before six judges, an opening gown portion, a fitness wear, evening gown and onstage question and answer session.

Along with her crown, Szczepanowski earned a cruise to the Bahamas, luggage, jewelry and a couple of other gifts.

“I believe Ms. World Elite is this smart, stylish, stiletto clad woman who exemplifies success, independence and glamour,” Szczepanowski said. “What I’m going to do is incorporate the title into my current lifestyle, which I’m so proud of.”

Szczepanowski, a veteran of pageantry, has promoted a message of women empowerment through her career. But she said that earning the Ms. World Elite title marks an end to her pageantry days.

The Melville-based litigation attorney will continue both her professional and charity work, however. She’s also the founder of both Everything Lidia, a multi-platform lifestyle enterprise, and the National Organization for Women’s Safety Awareness, a nonprofit that helps prevent crime and violence against women of all ages.

Throughout her experience in pageantry, Szczepanowski said, she’s learned that being authentic and genuine is one of the most beautiful and

She added, “Everyone has their own beautiful way about them and if more people were true to themselves I think we’d all be better from it.”

Franchise owner Howie Zeller aims to provide the best of both worlds with excellent value coupled with outrageous flavor. Above all, Wayback brings to the table “fresh burgers, old fashioned service, made how it used to be made.”

The East Northport establishment has been open for seven years, while the franchise was started in 1991 by founder John Carter in Delaware. Wayback has expanded to comprise of 133 locations worldwide, including locations in Argentina and Saudi Arabia.

The “Cheeeesy” burger ($7.39) features a grilled buttered bun with loads of American cheese with two sumptuous beef patties. The bun itself stays slightly crispy, leading to a supremely tasty burger that’s big on cheesy, meltin-your-mouth flavor.

The new Crispy Chicken BLT ($6.99) is made with chicken hand breaded at Wayback with a spread of mayonnaise. The chicken is tremendously juicy on the inside and perfectly crunchy on the outside, creating to a texture sensation.

Complementing a meal, or enjoyed as dessert, Wayback’s milkshakes are truly one-of-a-kind. Zeller said they were “hand-dipped,” meaning that they’re made one at a time — rather than being served from a dispenser — with fresh scoops of ice cream and fresh ingredients mixed together.

The Oreo Mud Pie ($4.99) shake mixes together delicious bits of oreos and ice cream for a hurricane of frosty, chocolatey flavor. And, the new Root Beer Float ($4.99) is created with premium vanilla bean ice cream alongside Stubborn Soda Classic Root Beer, bringing together a fizzy earthiness and creamy sweetness in one drink.

Stopping by Wayback, Foodies can also create their own burger, whether it be a single, double or triple patty, with a cornucopia of toppings like jalapenos and mushrooms, with unique sauces like their signature Wayback Gold, as well as chipotle mayo.

Orders can also be placed online for pickup.

When Jonathan Winters was forming the foundation of a painting of a lighthouse with his aid, Erich Preis, his brother Barry remembered his own fishing trips and thought of the Huntington Lighthouse.

And so, Jonathan, 53, of Commack, a painter born with cerebral palsy, turned his painting into a rendition of the famed North Shore landmark.

Barry, a member of the Huntington Anglers Club, heard Pam Setchell, president of the Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society, speak about the repairs needed for the structure and was moved to contribute.

For each of the next five years, Barry plans to make a recurring $2,000 donation. And, as he saw his brother working on the lighthouse painting with Preis every Saturday, they came up with the idea to steer the

“Well, I almost fell over. Not only is he donating that money, but his brother had done this amazing painting, and he wants to donate it to the lighthouse. Needless to say, we’re a

little bit speechless,” Setchell said.

Jonathan is a charter member of the Brushstrokes program with the Suffolk branch of United Cerebral Palsy of Long Island. The initiative began about 20 years ago, giving a new passion for those with cerebral palsy, who would paint

with a brush attached to a head strap.

Now, Jonathan paints hand-overhand with Preis, the founder and emeritus board member of nonprofit The Spirit of Huntington Art Center, using masking tape to isolate parts of the canvas to paint.

The organization works with those with special needs and veterans to allow their creativity to shine. Jonathan currently lives at the UCP’s group residence in Commack.

“I don’t really do that much. I’ll steady his hand, but he does the painting,” Preis said. “It takes a lot of patience and a lot of time.”

The painting draws from a photograph taken of the lighthouse before restoration construction began. Setchell added that the painting will eventually be put on display inside the lighthouse once the restoration process is complete.

Barry said, “In that, Jonathan found his passion. He really enjoyed painting.

He got a thrill out of it.”

Welcome To

Cold Spring Harbor

Welcome to Cold Spring Harbor. This view can be found from across the harbor to the west. Observe the harbor, originally known by indigenous inhabitants as Wawepex, or “the good little water place.”

Later, in the 17th century, European settlers named the area after its endless freshwater springs. However, the word harbor was added later on to avoid confusion with a town of the same name on the Hudson River.

For those looking to stretch their legs even more, the 40-acre Cold Spring Harbor State Park is a mixed hardwood forest that serves as the northern tip of the Nassau Suffolk Greenbelt Trail, which extends to the south shore. The entrance to the roughly 1.14-mile trail is just north of the library.

Coming down Main Street, be sure to stop at Billy Joel Park next to the boat ramp. The park offers some stunning views of the harbor and can serve as a perfect spot for a summer picnic.

Sheila Bergman and her canine companion, Bouvier, decided to take a different route last Tuesday for their daily walk through the quaint village of Cold Spring Harbor.

Bouvier brightened up a very cloudy day down on Main Street in Cold Spring Harbor with his wagging tail and friendly face.

“He’s so loud outside, but he’s fabulous at home,” Bergman, of Mill Neck, said.

“I usually bring him to Locust Valley for his walk, but we had to stop by one of the shops here,” she added. Cold Spring Harbor “is such a quaint town, it’s so charming.

Bergman couldn’t keep Bouvier to herself as many fellow shoppers stopped by to say hello.

“I love this town,” Bergman said, adding how Cold Spring Harbor is just the right place for both locals and tourists. There are so many restaurants and shops to discover,

she added.

On the other side of the village, mother and daughter Gisele Jomelli and Micheline Sorrentino were soaking up the newly-shining sun down by the water.

Sorrentino said the pair makes the trip from Queens out to the village once or twice a week. They’ve been doing it for over 30 years, she’s said.

Jomelli, originally from Paris, articulates to her daughter how much she adores the village in French.

“It’s just beautiful,” Sorrentino said. “We love it here.”

The pair both said the shopping in Cold Spring Harbor is great, and that there’s always a new place to see.

Down the street, Carroll and Mike Cohen were on their way back to their car after an afternoon of ice cream eating and shopping. The Lloyd Neck couple often visits the peaceful village during the week.

“It’s a cute little place, it used to be an old whaling town,” Mike said. “It’s such a nice place to spend the day.”

The glorious Cold Spring Harbor Library is found at 95 Harbor Road, across the street from Billy Joel Park. The mansion-like institution spans a 5-acre plot that sits high on a hills, overlooking the harbor. The library building, which was funded by the community, is open 9:30 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday-Thursday; 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Friday-Saturday; and 1-5 p.m., Sunday.

The Cold Spring Harbor Firehouse Museum, found in the 84 Main St. building that held the village’s original fire house, opened in 2007 after the community rallied to save the building from demolition.

These days it’s open Saturdays and Sundays, 12 noon-5 p.m. and admission is free for children ($2 for adults). Farther south, find the modern day building that the fire department uses at 2 Main St.

The quaint, quiet Cold Spring Harbor village is a perfect spot to spend day strolling, shopping and eating. There are plenty of shops and services offered throughout the village.

The Whaling Museum & Education Center at 279 Main St. is open 12 noon-4 p.m., Tuesday-Friday, and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on weekends.

It’s a great place for children and adults alike to learn the ins and outs of whaling, a storied tradition in once whaling port Cold Spring Harbor. Stop by Tuesday, June 15, 6-8 p.m., for the second annual Whales, Ales & Salty Tales program to learn more about that history, while also taking swigs of local craft beers.

theater Academy Celebrating 10 Years Of Success Photo provided by Gene Forman

16 • JUNE 8-14, 2017

Huntington-based performance art academy From Stage to Screen is celebrating its 10th annual summer season this year.

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

From Stage to Screen, a Huntington-based performance art academy owned by Gene Forman and wife Jenn, has been growing nonstop since its inception nearly a decade ago. During that time, it’s helped students grow as actors and discover who they are.

Now, the academy is looking forward to kicking off its 10th annual summer season this month.

Forman said everything changed for him in June 2006, when his brother, Wayne, died in a car accident.

With the support of Jenn, who was just a friend at the time, Forman decided to pursue his passion for acting and dream to open a school for it by founding From Stage to Screen. The inaugural July 2008 season had eight students.

“Out of this tragedy, I opened up a studio, got married and had three children,” Forman, of Greenlawn, said. “I try to honor him each day, and be a better person. That’s why I think we’ve been successful, because we do it for the right reasons.”

With experienced instructors from all over the country, the academy now has over 400 students starting at age 6.

Each class has around 250 students.

The 589 West Jericho Turnpike academy offers classes for dance, vocals, musical theater, and television and film, with summer camp programs and musical theater class for adults.

“Kids travel from all over Long Is-

land to come to our studio, I can’t even tell you how proud and honored that makes us feel,” Forman said. “It’s wonderful and I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.”

The academy, which has been nominated for a Tony Award in theater education, has hosted productions across Long Island, including at Five Towns College, and beyond, such as at Manhattan’s Lincoln Center for Performing Arts and Disney World.

“It’s a competitive environment.

These kids are going to the best colleges in the country, and we work on their audition tapes,” Forman said.

“Even if they don’t pursue acting, we help them with their interviewing skills for their college interviews, or for job interviews once they’ve graduated. It is an all-encompassing environment.”

Gearing up for the 10th annual season, Forman said he is honored and grateful to have had a significant impact the lives of others.

“It’s an amazing feeling to know that you could play a role in somebody’s life in a positive way, even if it’s a little bit,” he said. “We’re making contributions to the kids that come to our studio and they’re leaving a little bit better than when they came in, and not just as performers, but as people.”

The academy’s annual Variety Show, hosted June 10 at Candlewood Middle School, will honor the 10th annual season. Upcoming academy performances include “The Wedding Singer” on July 21 at Five Towns College.

Stand Up, Paddle For Summer Views

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

The building that houses Huntington Stand Up Paddle is just 15-by-15 feet, but it only serves as an outlet for paddlers and kayakers to get to 3miles’ worth of scenic views across Huntington Harbor.

Owner Katie Buttine started the business out of her Jeep in 2011, and a year later moved to the 300 West Shore Road location in Huntington.

She added that she opened the business because of a lack of kayak and paddle board services around town.

“When we first started the sport was so new and people didn’t know what it was,” Buttine, of Huntington, said.

“We wanted to share it with everyone and grow in the community.”

Now, patrons can hop on a board to explore Huntington Bay, potentially checking out the Huntington Lighthouse or the thin beach of Sand City.

The business offers stand up paddle lessons, rentals, tours, corporate outings and parties, tandem kayak rentals, monthly memberships and storage.

It has sold goods in the past, but Buttine, of Huntington, said she’s de-

“There’s a huge market for this right now and I’m sure the retail stores are doing well with it, but it’s harder to educate so much when you’re trying to sell a product,” Buttine said. “We really just want to get people comfortable, get them to try all the differPhoto/Facebook/Huntington Stand Up Paddle

ent things and figure out what part of paddle boarding they like.”

Beginners can try their hand at introduction lessons, while experienced paddlers can partake in group classes.

Classes are limited to six paddlers per instructor and include Intro to Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Group Tour, PaddleFit and SUP Yoga.

Jackie Adamcewicz, a PaddleFit and SUP Yoga instructor, said when it comes to both fitness and yoga classes, it’s about making sure members of the group are safe and comfortable.

“We have lots of nice secluded coves around here so we’ll paddle out to one of those coves where it’s quiet, there’s no boat traffic and then we’ll anchor up and start a class,” Adamcewicz, of Northport, said. “It’s a little bit limited because there are certain things that are more difficult to do on a board but we try and make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed.”

As summer inches closer, Buttine said, she expects a busy season.

Prices for stand up paddles, single kayak, and tandem kayak rentals vary depending on adults and children and

run for 60 minutes.

Buttine said monthly memberships include two hours a day of paddle boarding or kayaking at $125 for teens and $150 for adults, and summer memberships are $250 for teens and $300 for adults.

Buttine, who grew up in Lloyd Harbor, added that she loves her job because it’s constantly taking her out on the water, and she likes to share that with others.

“If your parents aren’t boaters or you don’t belong to a yacht club, it’s hard for people to get out on the water,” she said. “We’re very community-based, we like introducing people to the sport and getting them out on the water.”
