publisher’s letter Happy (belated) Independence Day! It’s actually just about the start of the holiday weekend as I write this, and once we get this issue to the printer, we are all looking forward to a nice long weekend to recover from a crazy couple of months where we published our June & July issues as well as our annual Summer in the Village. Look for this special edition guide to everything going on around Huntington’s Villages this summer. There are copies all around town or you can download a digital edition from our website.

One of the things that makes Summer in the Village a keeper is the complete schedule of live entertainment that will take place all season long at Heckscher Park as part of the Huntington Arts Council’s 46th Annual Summer Arts Festival. The festival got off to an amazing start with Martha Wash on Saturday, June 25. Some of you may remember Martha from her “Weather Girls” days, when their hits “It’s Raining Men” and “Everybody Dance Now” were club staples. The orchestra pit at the Chapin Stage was filled with dancers from the first note, and the fans stayed on their feet as Martha entertained with a wide range of music, including the premier of her new single “I’ve Got You”, a beautiful and inspirational song that she dedicated to everyone who is “going through something”. It was a wonderful night that was enjoyed by all - from the kids hearing her music for the first time, to the “seasoned” adults that she dedicated some of her favorite Jazz tunes to. What a voice!

Here at Village Connection, things are moving fast as usual. Two things that we are especially excited about is our recent partnership with the Huntington Chamber of Commerce and our upcoming partnership with one of Long Island’s favorite radio stations, WALK 97.5. There will be a lot of events and exciting news to share as we develop these and other relationships. Listen for my radio spots in the coming weeks.

Now, I’ve got to finish deadline so I can get on with the weekend.

In the meantime, See you in the Village Jim

LIVE Long Island Village Entertainment

Premier Issue Coming This Fall

FROM THE DESK OF FRANK PETRONE

AvAlON bAy’S $100 MilliON iNvESTMENT Last month, the Town Board approved the rezoning that will allow Avalon Bay Communities to build 379 units of housing on a piece of property on Fifth Street in Huntington Station, not far from the Huntington train station. The next day, as word of the Town Board’s action spread, people began calling Town Hall asking how they could get on a list of possible tenants for the rental units that will make up the bulk of the apartments.

To me, those phone calls reaffirmed my strong belief that Huntington needs housing like this and that the proposal enjoys widespread support throughout the Town from two distinct groups. The first group includes those who are trying to keep their adult children, or themselves, from leaving Long Island because they cannot find housing options that meet their budgets or lifestyle needs. In the second group are those who know the proposal will produce significant long- and short-term benefits that will further Huntington Station’s revitalization and boost our local economy.

I welcome Avalon Bay’s $100 million investment in our community, just as I will welcome the residents of the 379 units - an influx of new customers for Huntington shops, restaurants and service businesses.

It’s probably too early to begin compiling lists of prospective tenants. Many details remain to be worked out between Avalon Bay and the Town before construction can begin. I look forward to working with Avalon Bay to resolve some of those details. But my message to those who are excited about the prospect of becoming a resident at Avalon Huntington Station is: Hang in there. By all accounts, it will be worth the wait. And by all accounts, all of us will be better by having Avalon Bay in Huntington Station.

Diet StrategieS With regard to diet, don’t blow it now. Sorry, you can’t go back to eating at the drive thru and expect to maintain your weight loss. Here are some simple things you can do to avoid sabotaging all that hard work: • Stock your fridge with healthy foods so that when you get the urge to munch, you are surrounded by foods that will help you, not hurt.

• Don’t wait more than 4 hours between meals and don’t skip meals-- this will only set you up for binges and consuming excess calories.

• Keep calories low. Gone are the days of eating mindlessly. Be aware of everything that goes into your mouth, whether by journaling or simply keeping a mental tally.

KeePiNg it OFF Congratulations! You have reached your goal. Now what? At maintenance, weight loss is no longer the major motivator to stay active. But it is critical to keep up your routine, because regular physical activity has been shown to be a contributing factor in the success of weight maintenance.

And let’s face it you worked hard to get here. Do you want to have to do it all over again?

If you’re serious about keeping the weight off, you need to be serious about your workouts. Keep your activity level high, both in and out of the gym. Your workouts should consist of both cardiovascular training and strength training. But how much exercise is necessary? Your cardiovascular exercise should still be done 3-5 times per week at moderate to high intensity. Your strength training should be done 3-4 times per week and you should do some stretching every day.

Don’t stay committed to any one program.

Vary your exercise programs and keep your muscles guessing. With so many programs out there you are bound to fall in love with something new.

• Avoid sugary foods, which will cause energy highs followed by crashes. These crashes signal your body to get more fuel quickly, and so you turn to more sugar for a quick “pickme-up”.

• Eat plenty of fruits, veggies and beans. The fiber will help to fill you up so that you feel satiated.

• Don’t deny yourself of your favorite foods. Allow yourself to have small pre-planned portions every now and then so that you don’t feel deprived and so that you don’t end up bingeing on that food that you are craving.

Track Yourself Your biggest fear is gaining back weight, but don’t be afraid of your scale. Weigh yourself at least once each week to monitor any gains. If the numbers begin to climb then reduce calories and increase your exercise.

accepT seTbacks No one is perfect-not even you! One skipped workout, one not-so-good meal, and one too many office cookies is not that big a deal. Keep in mind if you slip up do not beat yourself up over it. Simply get back to your healthy lifestyle rather than letting yourself backslide into your old habits.

The bad news is 90-95% of those who lose weight will be unsuccessful at keeping the weight off. Do not be a statistic. Nothing feels as good as losing weight and living in the body you’ve always dreamed of. I know! I am a weight loss survivor. I lost over 50 pounds and have kept it off for 25 years! You can too. Keep up the good work!

HEAR THIS

WHAT IS THE BEST HEARING AID FOR YOU? Identification of communication situations that cause you the most difficulty is a critical first step in solving your hearing loss problems.

If you can describe difficult listening conditions, your hearing care provider can address the problems and develop strategies to help you manage them. If you need more information, ask for it. Some people want highly technical information about hearing aid systems and hearing loss, while others just want a brief overview of hearing aids and their function. Most providers will be happy you asked, and will give you information such as consumer literature, data sheets, brochures, videotapes and other types of instructional materials.

Ask for clarification if you need it. Many complex concepts can be explained in an uncomplicated way.

Motivation in finding the best hearing aid Advanced hearing aid technology can now compensate for most hearing losses, but there are still millions of hearing aid candidates who are not ready to accept this fact. Is there a missing link? I think so. People with hearing loss are in different stages of readiness.

At one extreme the individual is in denial about the hearing loss.

If either a family member or a professional insists on hearing aids at this point, behavior is unlikely to change and most likely such a person would be dissatisfied if pursuing hearing aids.

Individuals highly motivated to improve their hearing have an infinitely better chance of success with hearing aids. Such motivated people recognize their hearing loss and are open to finding the best hearing aid for their needs. They tend to seek out relevant information related to their hearing loss and the technology needed to alleviate the hearing problem. The most highly motivated hearing aid candidates have a willingness to discuss their feelings about their hearing problem and explore some hearing options that might be available to them. When they are fitted with hearing aids, they eagerly explore their new technology, discuss problems during follow-up visits with their hearing healthcare professional, and patiently learn to adapt to their technology.

CLEANSING FOR HEALTH We are all becoming aware that our bodies are bombarded with toxins every day. Studies show that each one of us has dozens of environmental toxins- pesticides, heavy metals, solvents and byproducts from plastics- stored in our liver and fat cells. Not only do we accumulate toxins by inhaling and ingesting them, but our bodies also create toxins as a by-product of normal metabolic functioning.

The body is designed to eliminate or neutralize toxins via the gastrointestinal system (including the liver, gallbladder and colon), the lymphatic system, the respiratory system, the skin and the urinary system. But when the normal pathways of detoxification are overloaded, problems can arise.

Common conditions associated with toxin overload are allergies, asthma, digestive disturbances, skin problems and painful joints.

Some toxins have also been implicated in cancer, heart disease, depression and virtually every other degenerative disease.

When it’s time to cleanse, here’s how to get ready.

Many alternative health practitioners recommend cleansing at the start of every season. Three days to three weeks is an appropriate length of time for a cleansing program. Some cleansing principles, such as including additional fiber in the diet and using bitter herbs to improve digestion, can be incorporated into a daily healthy lifestyle.

A key tenet of cleansing: Provide support for all of the body’s organs of detoxification. This prevents any one organ system from becoming overburdened with toxins and encourages thorough detoxification. For example, if sufficient fiber is not included in a cleansing ritual, substances that have been processed by the liver and sent to the colon to be excreted can instead be reabsorbed into the bloodstream through the colon walls. People in good general health can do a cleanse on their own. Those suffering from a chronic or serious illness should consult with a health practitioner before undertaking a cleanse.

Basic cleansing ingredients: The following elements are essential for any cleansing program.

Many herbal and supplements manufacturers offer cleansing kits, which usually include a fiber supplement and herbal capsules that target elimination organs. Major tea companies also have pre-packaged herbal cleansing teas. Flush out toxins with fiber.

Fiber speeds the removal of wastes from the body and naturally cleanses the intestinal tract. Soluble fiber (chia seed, flaxseed, pectin and psyllium) also binds to toxins in the intestinal tract and keeps them from being reabsorbed. Supplements can help fill in the gaps if people don’t get sufficient fiber (25 grams for women and 38 grams for men) in their daily diet. Use herbs to support organs. The following cleansing herbs stimulate the elimination of toxins and support the body’s detoxification organs.

18 • villageconnectionmag.com • 631-455-3758

• Diaphoretic herbs, such as elderflower, ginger, peppermint and yarrow, help eliminate toxins through perspiration.

• Diuretic herbs increase urination, which flushes toxins from the kidneys and urinary tract. Cornsilk, dandelion leaf, nettle, parsley and marshmallow root are all gentle diuretics.

•Hepatic herbs stimulate liver detoxification. They often have a bitter flavor and improve liver function by triggering bile flow, which helps the body break down dietary fats. Examples include burdock root, dandelion root, gentian, turmeric root and yellow dock root. Cleansing formulas often include milk-thistle seed because it protects the liver from damaging toxins.

• Laxative herbs enhance bowel cleansing. The gentlest are natural fiber laxatives such as chia seed, flaxseed, pectin and psyllium. The bitter herbs used to improve liver function also have a mild laxative effect. Stronger laxative herbs, such as cascara sagrada and senna, stimulate contractions of the intestinal tract and should not be used long term because they can be habit forming.

• Lymphatic herbs improve cleansing of the network of lymph vessels and glands throughout the body. Cleavers, echinacea, prickly ash and red clover are all good choices for lymph purification.

Create a healthy internal environment. Taking probiotics- the friendly bacteria that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract- regularly supports the cleansing process during and after a detox. Probiotics not only keep intestinal function healthy, they also neutralize toxins in the digestive tract.

BOCO Feathers at Jewelry COlleCtiOn About: Boco Feathers is a hobby I came across while living in Boulder, Colorado. It’s real feather extensions for your hair! The name Boco originates from the words Boulder and Colorado.

Something the locals call the area. When I moved back to NY, I felt that these feathers were truly unique and that it was really awesome looking!

So here I am feathering up a storm! I want to share a bit of BOCO with you!

Where: Walk in’s on Fridays during the summer 12-6 at the Jewerly Collection on 75 Main Street in waterfront downtown Northport.

What: These feather extensions are real rooster feathers applied with a small micro link (clip) to the hair at the root. There is no glue. They last anywhere from 1-4 months depending on care. One locket consists of 4 feathers. Each locket is $20. I have over 30 colors to choose from. They can be washed , blow dried, curled, and styled as normal hair could be!

I do parties too!! Also new to Boco is feather earrings. ALL custom made, come in gold and silver! Please don’t forget to “Like” Boco Feathers on Facebook!

A SMASHING SUCCESS Risa Finkel, a fabulous well-known local singer wanted to perform a concert in honor of John Finley. Risa thought it would be a great idea to have it somewhere unique and asked their long time friend Kevin Coneys about having the concert in the boatyard. Initially, Kevin thought the idea was crazy…after all... it was a boatyard! Risa said that she wanted to donate the funds to a charity of Kevin’s choice, hence, The Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society was the recipient. The Boatyard Cabaret was born!!

In Risa’s words, “Knowing that the Lighthouse is now in peril from the elements eroding the Rip-Rap that holds the lighthouse in place, I thought this was a perfect opportunity for us all to get involved, have some fun and give back to a wonderful cause! As we take a ride in the beautiful waters of our Huntington Harbor, or pass her on a clear evening, we see the lighthouse beacon shining strong…showing us the way home”

Risa performed classics and treasures from the American songbook with world-class musicians on piano, bass, percussion, and cello. Risa added great local humor to sold-out crowds Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Guests attended in attire of “Boatyard Chic,” which included anything from cocktail dresses to plaid shorts and a nautical jacket!

All volunteers and workers were attired in bow ties and straw hats in honor John Finley’s signature bow tie and straw hat.

The Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society is hoping to raise the funds necessary to purchase and install 600 tons of Rip Rap (boulders that surround the lighthouse to keep the seawater from washing away the foundation of the building).

Upcoming events at the Lighthouse include the 5th Annual Huntington Lighthouse Musicfest! This exciting event will take place on Saturday, September 3 rd with a rain date of Sunday, September 4th, 2011.

The concert was inspired by the life of John Finley, well known to the community and owner of Finley’s of Greene Street.

A BUSY SUMMER PACKED WITH FUN This past week in mid-June has been a blast. The striped bass have been stacked up and coming over the rails. I did best with fresh bunker (thanks Mark, at Cow Harbor Bait and Tackle) on a fish finder rig about 100 yards south of buoy 13, letting it drift back to the rip, with an incoming tide. My favorite trip was watching the Banks Boys wrestle a couple of nice Bass in. Now I plan on spending some time looking for keeper fluke. Believe it or not, I’ll be close to the same areas. I like to anchor up near a tidal rip, you know those changes in the top of the water indicating something is different under the water like rocks or a ledge, and let a 1 ounce buck tail work its magic. I’ll cast towards the rip, and bounce that spearing tipped buck tail around for a while before moving to different sections.

Someone can also be fishing the bottom at the same time with heavier lead and a squid spearing combo. Then I will drift over the usual stomping grounds, catching porgies, fluke, sea bass and of course a fair share of sea robins.

I also just started a new gig! I’m putting in a few hours here and there teaching at the Oyster Bay Waterfront Center. What an awesome place. They needed some Environmental Education Instructors, so I jumped on board. I get to go seining, and teach what I love to kids on field trips. Once in a while some of the classes are on board the “Christeen”, an original sailing oyster sloop, or sometimes I’m giving kayak lessons to groups, stop down and sign up for a trip, (ahh, the things I must do for a living). My other endeavor with the Town of Huntington just wrapped up, and the kids had a great time learning the basics of local fresh and salt water fishing.

Since I got back into the fresh water fishing scene, I plan on hitting all three major rivers on Long Island. The Nissequogue is closest and will be first. I will keep you posted on what I find. I just booked a family trip rafting and camping at Kittatinny on the Delaware River, and I’m planning on an Indian aritifacts hunt later this summer. So keep picking up this magazine, and get outside and make your own adventures.

EXCELS AT CuSTOMER SERViCE Servicing our vehicle is not usually the number one thing on our “to-do” list. We know that it’s something that we should do, and we usually have good intentions, but the inconvenience is often behind the delay.

Studies show that nationally 50% of customers who purchase their car at a new car local dealer don’t have their car serviced at that dealer, and only 21% take advantage of the first time service.

At Huntington Toyota, they’ve found the formula to make their customers want to come in to get their vehicles serviced. With a truly unique menu of complimentary services available, they may even look forward to it.

“It’s all about customer service, and making sure the customer does not feel the pain of the process of getting their vehicle serviced.” said General Manager Lenny Cafarelli.

To start with, Huntington Toyota gives their customers options. Call ahead and schedule a service loaner, arrange for transportation home from a professional shuttle service, or, if you live within 10 miles of the dealership, they will even come pick up your car and return it to you when it’s done. If you make your appointment online, you will receive a discount on your service.

While many dealers may offer transportation, Huntington Toyota goes beyond. How does a complimentary chair massage with aromatherapy sound? Or maybe you prefer to drop your kids in the children’s room where they can watch the latest movies while you enjoy a continental breakfast and catch up on work using their wireless connection. Maybe you would prefer to receive a complimentary manicure while you wait.

“Time is the second most important thing to our customers, other than their children.” General Manager Lenny Cafarelli explains, “At Huntington Toyota we offer these services so that they can spend more time with their families by allowing them to get other tasks done while their car is being serviced.”

Always looking to take customer service to the extreme, their most recent announcement is completely unheard of in the automotive industry. As of June 1, all work done at Huntington Toyota, exclusive of regular maintenance, is now covered by a lifetime, 100% guarantee for parts and service. Yes, that’s all work for life. That means if you bring your car in to replace your battery, if your battery ever needs replacing again, it’s free; the parts and service. Forever.

These are just a few of the ways that Huntington Toyota has created its own brand of customer service. Visit their website, toyotaofhuntington.com, or stop in to visit to find out more about these services and the equally impressive list of courtesies extended by their sales department.

DESIGNER LOOK

WHAT IF THE MARINARA SPLASHES ON THE BACKSPLASH? A backsplash is the perfect place for self-expression in a room where much of what is selected seems to fall within fairly narrow parameters.

In our last columns we have reviewed how the opportunities for creativity can be manifested in ways that will give your kitchen a uniquely-yours feel without the dreaded “Oh dear--what have I done?” feeling in the pit of your stomach when buyer’s remorse rears its ugly head. As we have said, big-time regret in the form of kitchen design mistakes is regret that just doesn’t go away.

If you have followed our disaster-proof method for putting this most permanent of renovation projects together, you will happily find yourself ready to select a backsplash. Here is where aesthetics and functionality can join forces to give you a beautiful and stainresistant canvas to tie the room together.

Without even leaving our favorite town, you have the opportunity to see an extensive selection of beautiful and suitable materials for backsplashes. Over the years I have done nearly fifty different kitchens with as many wonderful backsplashes. They are actually fun to do if you keep a few criteria in mind.

First, how much messy cooking will be done? Tiles with crackled finishes are not ideal in such situations, and if used at all, should be sealed with the recommended sealer. If you decide to use tiles, you can use some form of natural stone, ceramic or glass.

Many beautiful backsplashes are done with interesting mosaics made of a combination of these materials pre-blended or custom blended.

36• villageconnectionmag.com • 631-455-3758

Be sure to have your cabinet samples with you when you shop.

This is no time for hit-or-miss guessing as to whether the overall cast of the beige mosaic is too pink or yellow to match the cabinets and the counter. Be sure not to select a material with a difficult to clean surface, such as rounded or split face stones.

Second, how busy is the counter material? Dramatic granites call for subtlety on the splash. A monochromatic solid-surface stone counter goes well with a low-key splash, but can be used very effectively with a bit of drama. A tile mural, when finely executed, is quite lovely. Use murals sparingly--perhaps behind the cooktop. Also, a less specific mural might have more lasting appeal. One of the most interesting splashes I designed had fossilized fish sparingly placed in a simple matching field tile.

Quite a conversation piece!

Third, backsplashes should combine or complement the colors in the kitchen, without being overly distracting. Understated but not banal is the direction popular now, and has longevity of appeal for a room in which you spend so much time. The grout should almost disappear.

Always get samples and try living with them. Waiting until the cabinets are installed is always a good idea before you select a backsplash. Do your homework, and your reward will be a beautiful, functional backsplash that seems quite at home in your lovely kitchen.

OUTDOOR LIVING

MAKING A GRAND ENTRANCE conventional pavements such as asphalt and poured concrete.

You will also discover that all pavers are not created the same.

Look at driveways and walkways that have been in the ground for a while and compare them with newer installations. A closer look will tell you how well the pavers have stood the test of time.

Shopping around is therefore very important. For example, all Cambridge Pavingstones possess a unique added value from ArmorTec® the rich, pure-pigmented colors will never fade.

Ask a professional contractor or any Authorized Cambridge Distributor for actual samples, an informative brochure and more details about the manufacturing process.

Next, observe the patterns and colors of the pavers you see on other properties. Interlocking concrete pavingstones afford you limitless creativity ranging from randomly placed pavers of varying sizes and surface textures to circle and fans that cat can be inlaid into your primary design. Contrasting borders and banding can be used to define paved areas or simply for visual effect. There are dozens of popular patterns to choose from for your final arrangement. Manufacturers such as Cambridge offer a variety of pre-packaged kits that ease-up the installation of many special patterns.

“Curb appeal” is a term long used to describe the amount of visual interest that a property can generate at first glance or when viewed from a distance. Residential real estate professionals, home improvement specialists and landscape designers brought new attention to the expression when they outlined the best preparation strategies to be employed while marketing a home for resale in countless discourses. However, it can also be said that increasing curb appeal will help you look at your home with a fresh eye and appreciate its value from a personal perspective whether the home is up for sale or not. Curb appeal makes more than an attractive statement; it can also bring forth a welcoming presence.

Building an addition, changing the color of siding and trim, updating windows, and refreshing garden areas are good ways to start but making a grand entrance from curbside to the front door with durable and maintenance-free hardscape materials such as pavers and wall systems can offer superb long term value and high impact, aesthetic results. Before starting the decisionmaking process, I suggest observing driveways and walkways in your neighborhood. I’m sure that you will find that homes with pavements of interlocking concrete pavingstones all have special characteristics and an up-scale quality that is absent in most 40 • villageconnectionmag.com • 631-455-3758

Consider one or more columns and/or a low landscape wall at the front of a driveway or entrance path. These columns can be custom-built or also made from pre-packaged kits. Mailbox inserts are a nice touch. Cambridge offers beautiful column mailboxes in kits with powder-coated, forged metal doors in an antique bronze finish. Columns can be capped in distinctive ways by selecting color coordinated wallstone caps or natural looking cast stone caps, which are ready to install and far more affordable than bluestone, granite and other natural stone materials.

Straight, curved or serpentine shaped retaining walls can provide attractive solutions for sloping grade conditions while adding curb appeal with their natural looking rock faces. Place one or more wallstone columns at predetermined intervals, wall termination points, corners, as well as at the sides of steps and staircase landings. Both wall and paver pattern designs can be accented by interspersing lighting from Cambridge and other quality manufacturers that is specially designed for hardscape materials.

One of the best reasons to choose pavers, wallstones and other outdoor living products as tools to increase curb appeal and beautify side yards and backyards as well is their ability to match and coordinate with the architectural color palette and textures on the outside of your house.

playing it safe

HOt tips fOR staying COOl As the summer of 2011 kicks off, it looks like it will be a scorcher.

The Farmer’s Almanac predicts hotter than normal temperatures this summer, and these high temperatures can be hazardous to your health. Despite being preventable, excessive heat exposure caused 10,015 deaths in the United States from 1979-2010. During this period, more people in this country died from extreme heat than from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined.

People suffer heat-related illness when their bodies can’t properly cool themselves. When this happens, a person’s body temperature can rise rapidly. It’s important to recognize the symptoms of heatrelated illnesses and understand how to prevent, control and respond to their effects.

Several factors make heat-related illnesses more likely. When the humidity is high, the body’s natural cooling mechanism, sweating, is not as efficient. Sweat will not evaporate as quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat quickly. The elderly, infants, pregnant women and individuals with chronic medical conditions are also more likely to suffer from heat-related illnesses.

Heat-related illnesses can range from a mild reaction, such as prickly heat, to a severe reaction, such as heat stroke. Knowing the signs and symptoms of these illnesses is the first step to prevention.

Heat Rash - Heat rash, or prickly heat, is the irritation caused by a blocked sweat gland. It looks like a red cluster of pimples or small blisters. The best treatment for heat rash is to wash and dry the affected area and to provide a cool, dry environment. The use of powder may be used to increase comfort.

Heat Cramps - Heat cramps usually affect people who sweat a lot during strenuous activity. Sweating causes the body to lose water and minerals, and these low salt levels in the muscles may be the cause of heat cramps. If heat cramps are experienced, stop all activity, drink water or a sports beverage and do not return to strenuous activity for a few hours after the cramps subside, because further exertion may lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. If the cramps do not go away within an hour, it is important to seek medical help.

Heat Exhaustion - Heat exhaustion is a moderate heat-related illness that can develop through exposure to high temperatures and is the body’s response to an excessive loss of the water and salt contained in sweat. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include heavy sweating, headache, nausea, lack of appetite, weakness, muscle cramps, dizziness, fainting, or vomiting. The skin is usually cool and moist. If left untreated, heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke. Medical help should be sought immediately if the symptoms are severe or if there are underlying medical conditions.

42 • villageconnectionmag.com • 631-455-3758

If heat exhaustion is suspected, steps should be taken to cool the victim off, including drinking cool, nonalcoholic beverages, resting, moving to a cool place and taking a cool shower or bath.

Heat Stroke - Heat stroke is an abnormally elevated body temperature, accompanied by physical and neurological symptoms. Under normal conditions, the body can maintain its temperature. However, in extreme heat, high humidity, with vigorous physical exertion under the sun or when someone is dehydrated, the body may not be able to handle the heat and the body temperature rises, sometimes up to 106 F or higher. This rise in body temperature can occur very quickly, sometimes within 15 minutes. Heat stroke is a true medical emergency that can be fatal if not properly and promptly treated. The symptoms of heat stroke include an extremely high body temperature, hot and dry skin, headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion and unconsciousness.

If any of the signs are seen, call 911 immediately and move the victim to a cool area and cool the victim as quickly as possible by any means available.

Respiratory Problems - During heat waves, ozone levels can reach higher than normal levels. Ozone, the major component of smog, is created by the reaction of sunlight on chemicals found in gasoline vapors, emissions from cars and industrial smoke stacks.

Hot summer weather can increase ozone levels. This poor air quality can cause breathing problems, especially among those with respiratory conditions, such as emphysema and asthma.

Symptoms of these respiratory problems can include chest pain, coughing, wheezing, difficulty and rapid breathing. Individuals with these symptoms should seek medical attention. People who exercise or work outdoors, and those with respiratory diseases, should limit strenuous outdoor activity particularly during the afternoon and early evening hours, when ozone levels are the highest.

FINANCE

THE INVESTMENT TAX - LANDSCAPE: COUNTDOWN TO 2013 PArT 2 Taxable vs. tax-free bonds Taxable bonds typically pay higher interest rates than municipal bonds. However, if you’re in a relatively high tax bracket or expect to be in one in the future, munis can potentially offer a better after-tax return. They may be worth a second look between now and 2013, when- separate from any potential increase in federal income tax rates--the unearned income of people making $200,000 a year ($250,000 for couples filing a joint return) is scheduled to be subject to a new 3.8% Medicare contribution tax.

Absent further legislative changes, that could make munis even more attractive for affluent investors.

However, as with any investment decision, there are many factors to consider. Local and state governments have come under severe financial constraints in recent years, and though the default rate on muni bonds has historically been low, default by individual governmental bodies is always possible. Also, the legislation that extended the tax cuts did not authorize continued issuance of Build America Bonds (BABs) beyond 2010. During the almost two years BABs were authorized, many local and state governments used them to tap the taxable bond market; that temporarily reduced the issuance of new tax-free munis. However, since BABs can no longer be issued without further authorization from Congress, the supply of new munis may increase, which could

affect prices. Finally, interest rates have been at historic lows since the end of 2008; since bond prices move in the opposite direction from their yields, rising interest rates would not be good news for bond prices.

2013 and beyond The nation’s financial pressures will almost certainly mean continued adjustments to the tax code as 2013 approaches. Though there are no guarantees about what will happen when the new provisions expire, investors generally have another chance to fine-tune their planning efforts while taxes remain historically low. If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, why not get expert help in taking advantage of the opportunities available now?

ABSOLUTE LOWEST CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES IN THE INDUSTRY.

senior’s soCiAL BALL If you’re like me, you once led a very busy life juggling work, family and more. In fact, at one point I had so many balls in the air that I actually treasured the “quiet” railroad time commuting to work in Manhattan. All that changed, as I got older. Little by little, one ball after another either shrunk or disappeared.

What are the balls we juggle? They are activities within our lives that can be identified by adding the word “life”, such as work life, family life, love life, spiritual life, social life and married life and having several requires artful juggling.

I recently realized that I like lots of folks around me. Since most life-activities involve interacting with other people, I had a sense of having an active social life through them.

In my youth my life-activities supplied many people and friends. From my family life and school life I had people galore.

In life’s next stage, there were people from my work life and in my married life I gained a loving spouse and children. However, nothing stays the same and when these lifeactivities began to wind down and I had fewer balls in the air, my wife and I welcomed the change with a sense of exhaustion but never thought much about the next stage - being retired with oodles of free time and a lot less people.

With being retired and our children/grandchildren leading hectic lives plus family and friends who moved, drifted away or died, we found ourselves with an anemic social life.

To escape boredom and the TV we began the task of inflating our social “ball”.

It’s not easy to build a social life as seniors but my wife and I are trying. We volunteer a few hours a week for good causes and started going to dances and other events at our local senior center. I joined a daytime senior bowling league.

While these steps provide much needed out-of-the-house social contact, we aren’t there yet. I guess the purpose of this story is to warn younger people that when the pace of their life slows they shouldn’t relax too long or shrug it off but think of it as a signal that their lives are shifting into the next more leisurely stage and start cultivating a social life.

As retired seniors, they’ll then be sure to have a social ball.

NORTHPORT HISTORY

Several years later, Thompson moved to Northport where he prospered in various enterprises. When James Cockcroft began to publish legal volumes, Thompson saw an opportunity to invest the capital he had amassed. The final result of this collaboration was the Thompson Law Book Company which for many years published one of the most authoritative legal publications in the country.

Thompson was also active in improving life in his community. In 1889, he helped form the Northport Fire Department. He was a force behind the incorporation of the Village in 1894. He firmly believed that government on a more local level was the key to improving public works and thereby the lives of the residents.

The Thompson Company became instrumental in building the infrastructure of the Village. Thompson himself was a prominent member of the Northport Electric Light Company, the Northport Trust Company, and the Northport Real Estate and Improvement Co. He also played a role in bringing the trolley service and offering steamboat transportation to New York City for freight and passengers. In addition, Thompson served two terms as President of the Village Board of Trustees during the second of which Main Street was finally paved.

At the time of his death in 1923 at the age of 79, Thompson had moved to Bay Shore where he was involved in a project to make Saltaire on Fire Island a summer resort. Although he had left Northport before his death, Edward Thompson’s legacy of developing Northport Village into a forward-looking community remains.

A WALK FOR INDEPENDENCE A Salute To July 4th I was walking the evening of - Saturday June 4, 2011 at Northport High Schools 3rd annual Relay for Life Charity.

After months of fundraising between various teams all working toward a common goal to find a cure for cancer. The fields were gathered with young people, their parents and friends the experience was sobering - moving- touching...

As I walked bear foot along the track with others united in this cause, I saw a folded paper laying there.

The note read as follows….

“My name is Emily- almost 5 years ago my mom was diagnosed with cancer. To hear someone who you love so much say, “I have cancer “is devastating! The same cancer took the life of my great aunt a few months earlier. It was the ultimate struggle, but today my mother walks the survivor route proudly cancer-free…

My mom is my hero and showed me how strong a person can be which is why today I walk proudly with her in our fight for a cure”.

We have to fight strong for what we believe in And believe in what we fight forFight for yourself, For Freedom- Independence & Love, Fight for the good of others Fight for a cure.

Fight for peace - With peace - In peace.

NORTHPORT HISTORY

The community’s hotel industry was not confined to Northport’s harbor area. Since the Long Island Railroad had moved the Northport station to East Northport, enterprising local businessmen recognized the opportunity to provide accommodations nearby.

The discussion of establishing a trolley from the station to the harbor in 1900 spurred them to action. Thomas Dixon and his wife opened a hotel on the northeast corner of Larkfield Road and the railroad tracks, and the Larkfield Inn appeared on the southeast corner. Through the years, the Dixon Hotel was sold to R.S. Leighton and the Larkfield Inn became Mortensen’s and then Powell’s Hotel. Today an historical marker across from the station notes that the area was known as “Hotel Row.”

Certainly, Northport’s reputation for these qualities was quite secure since it had become a popular summer vacation spot in the late 1800s and flourished long into the twentieth century. The Northport area provided many of the residents of New York City with a convenient place for a carefree summer vacation.

Once the Long Island Railroad provided access to the area in 1867, hotels began to spring up to accommodate the summer visitors.

In the following decades, hotels became numerous near the harbor. Among them were the Northport House at the corner of Main Street and Bayview, the Mitchell House on Woodbine Avenue, and the Commercial Hotel on Main Street which Village Connection For a period of 80 years, the hotels in the Northport area provided underwent a renovation and expansion in 1905 to accommodate Expires 8/31/11 many city dwellers convenient spot to rest, relax, and play in the more guests.

The community’s hotel industry was not confined to Northport’s harbor area. Since the Long Island Railroad had moved the Northport station to East Northport, enterprising local businessmen recognized the opportunity to provide accommodations nearby.

The discussion of establishing a trolley from the station to the harbor in 1900 spurred them to action. Thomas Dixon and his wife opened a hotel on the northeast corner of Larkfield Road and the railroad tracks, and the Larkfield Inn appeared on the southeast corner. Through the years, the Dixon Hotel was sold to R.S. Leighton and the Larkfield Inn became Mortensen’s and then Powell’s Hotel. Today an historical marker across from the station notes that the area was known as “Hotel Row.”

LOCAL EXPOSURE

A MOdERn ViEw On thE REd, whitE, And BLUE: JOhn J. dEROSA

For the last few years, graphic artist and media arts teacher John J. DeRosa has been creating 3D computer-generated still lifes that probe the fascinating interface between two-dimensional representation and the three-dimensional world. When Long Island’s foremost contemporary art showplace, the Islip Art Museum, put out a call for work exploring attitudes, beliefs and emotions evoked by the American flag, DeRosa was inspired to create the first in a series of patriotic pieces.

DeRosa, who’s also a 3D director at the Game Builders Academy, recently started pairing animation with music. While animating a flag as he listened to John Philip Sousa’s rousing “Stars and Stripes Forever,” DeRosa preserved a single image-- frame # 166-- and rendered it into high resolution. This image-aptly named “Stars and Stripes”-- gives this beloved symbol of American ideals a modern twist while highlighting the vibrancy of democracy, DeRosa indicated.

Islip Art Museum is located at 50 Irish Lane, East Islip. DeRosa’s “Stars and Stripes” will be displayed at the gift shop as part of the companion show to the museum’s Flag Day Show. DeRosa’s pieces can also be seen at the June Artwalk sponsored by the Northport Arts Coalition and at Costermonger, 130 Main Street,

Northport, through mid-July.

DeRosa also explores the parameters of reflection and illumination in other bodies of work at www.derosadesigns.com.

• Garde Dog Diere De Garde-A seasonal brew that will complement sweet, fruity and bread-like characteristics and will also mellow spice. Toasted malts with slight earthy and funky characteristics and a subtle, clean finish.
