Achoo…That’s right, folks. It’s time to takeextra doses of vitamins and stock up onDayquil and Nightquil, because with the coldweather comes the sniffles. Just the other day, Iwent grocery shopping, and asI passed a bearded man, hesneezed right into the open air.That reminds me that peopleneed to start taking lessons on covering theirmouth to avoid spreading a cold. After the ob-noxious sneeze attack, I pushed my cart rightdown the medicine aisle to stock up on Aleve,nasal spray and vitamin C. Maybe I overreactedto the situation, but it’s better to be safe thansorry!

Earlier every year… Does anybody else feellike the holiday cheer is coming earlier and ear-lier each year? I remember the days when theholidays were the holidays and Thanksgivingwas Thanksgiving. There was a clear, figurative,line drawn between them. Nowadays, I don’teven get to finish flipping my calendar from Oc-tober to November before I hear “It's the MostWonderful Time of the Year” somewhere aroundtown. Don’t get me wrong -- love the holidaysand all. But they need to breathe a bit. Give mesome turkey and and mashed potatoes to snackon before the ham and egg nog, if you will.

Speaking of early… I’m getting word fromour editorial team that I need to spread the wordabout early deadlines. That’s right, folks, if youhave information, pictures, calendar listings, po-

ems or anything else that you’d like to have con-sidered for publication, pleasesend them to [email protected] as soon aspossible. This will be especial-ly necessary in the comingweeks when our productionschedule is bumped up to ac-commodate changes in the postoffice’s schedule. We’d love to

publish your photographs from the various holi-day events around town this season, but we can’tdo it if you send them in once 2015 is over.

Silence is golden… Just a quick public serv-ice announcement for all those who might haveforgotten. Whenever you’re at a public meetingor event, please be courteous to those aroundyou. The reason I bring this up is because I wasat a ceremony last week where a cell phone rangaloud five times. Cell phone ringers, out of turnconversation or off-to-the side chatter, can bevery distracting to those around you. I’m nottrying to shame anybody, but just wanted to givea quick reminder that a little bit of courtesy cango a long way when you’re out in public.

The Huntington Town Board isconsidering a code change thatwould allow some small food-ser-vice business owners to potentiallymore than double the number ofseats in their establishments and ap-ply for alcohol licenses.If approved, the legislation offered

by Huntington CouncilwomanTracey Edwards would create a“bistro” designation within towncode for food-service businesses witha floor plan no greater than 2,500square feet. These smaller business-es operate the same way largerrestaurants currently do, but wouldnot need to meet the current 2,500-square-foot floor plan requirement.“All we have now for classifica-

tions are bars, food shops and restau-rants…. [My goal] is to establish aclassification for smaller restaurantsthat do not have the square footageas the larger ones, but are not foodshops,” Edwards said Monday. “Thisallows those small business ownersthat are mostly in strip malls tryingto survive to be more competitive

like pizza owners, etc.”Under the current code, food shops

cannot seat more than 15 people orserve alcohol. Those businessescould be considered bistros under theproposal, and would be permitted tohave one seat for every 65 square feetof total gross floor area, which wouldbe a maximum of 38 seats in a 2,500square foot bistro. A bistro owner

would also be eligible to apply for alicense to serve alcohol for on-siteconsumption.Bistros would also be required, in

part, to always offer kitchen serviceswhile open. They would also need toprovide seating for 90 percent of themaximum number of people allowedin the establishment by occupancyregulations, excluding bar and

counter service.A bistro, which cannot have drive-

through access, would require oneparking space for every 200 squarefeet of its total floor area, but could begranted parking relief if they are with-in 300 feet of a municipal lot. Theywould be permitted within C-4, C-5,C-6, C-7 and I-1 zoning districts, all ofwhich currently permit restaurantsand/or food shops.Edwards said she modeled the

bistro element of the legislation aftersimilar code designations in townsacross Long Island, such as the Townof Islip, which calls that type of estab-lishment a “minor restaurant.”As is typical when code changes

are proposed, Edwards said, theHuntington Town attorney proposedanother change meant to make towncode clearer.The change would pull the

“bar/tavern” designation out from thecurrent “restaurant” definition, whereit’s currently found. The require-ments for a “bar/tavern” would re-main unchanged.A public hearing on the proposal is

scheduled for 7 p.m. Dec. 8 at Hunt-ington Town Hall.

More than 5,700 lighting fixturesand lamps at the Melville Marriotthave been retrofitted with energy-saving LED lighting, an effort thatwill save the hotel $96,000, accord-ing to PSEG Long Island.The improvements, made by the

hotel, owned by Columbia Sussex,will help cut its electric demand by160 kilowatts and reduce its electricconsumption by 536,253 kilowatthours per year. The improvementscost $134,022.“Leading hotel brands across the

country are carefully assessing theirenergy usage and adopting energy-ef-ficient upgrades that result in reducedenergy bills, the ability to attractguests who value sustainability and

an overall improvement in theirguests’ satisfaction,” said MichaelVoltz, director of energy efficiencyand renewables at PSEG Long Island.With yearly savings and receiving

a rebate of $86,770 for participatingin PSEG’s Commercial EfficiencyProgram, the hotel is expected to re-alize a payback on the remainingproject costs in less than a year.“The next generation travelers, the

The Huntington Zoning Board of Appeals hasput off two proposals that would add a total of 32new apartments just north of Main Street inHuntington village.In the larger proposal, property owner Hook-

shank LLC is looking to convert and expand anindoor sports complex behind Albert’s Man-darin Gourmet on New York Avenue into amixed-use building that would include 20 apart-ments and retail.The plan, which would expand the retail area

by 3,670 square feet, seeks a special-use permitto park in a municipal lot and permission to con-vert the current Ultimate Sports Complex for re-tail use. It also needs a variance to park within 5feet of a property line.The apartments would be placed on the second

and third floors, above the combined retail space,and would not go over the restaurant, said BobReikert, the town’s deputy director of planning.A second proposal calls for a three-story

building with 12 apartments at 30 Stewart Ave.,the northeast corner of Stewart Avenue and Ger-ard Street. The first floor would have retail andoffice space, while the second and third floorswould consist of apartments with rooftop access.The lot is currently largely empty.Applicant Jeff and Stevens Holding Corp. is

seeking a special-use permit to use a municipalparking lot.Reikert said before the Nov. 5 town zoning

board meeting that site plan currently has 23parking spaces, but the property owner is in talksto purchase land owned by the town that it cur-rently uses, which could be used for the requirednumber of parking spaces.There was some discussion about the overall

development in the downtown area.Chairman Christopher Modelewski questioned

whether parking needs for the new proposalcould be properly satisfied considering thatapartments are currently being erected just northof the proposed development at a former icehouse on Stewart Avenue. He also brought upcomplaints by some that the zoning board could

be “destroying” downtown Huntington by grant-ing variances.John Breslin, a real estate attorney, testified

that he felt the zoning board’s actions to bring amixture of development to the area has beenpositive.Both proposals were tabled without further

comment.

A county initiative that cleans up blight-ed, abandoned properties to create housingfor veterans could be gaining traction na-tionwide.The county’s Housing Our Homeless He-

roes Act, authored by Legislator SteveStern (D-Dix Hills) and adopted earlier thisyear, allows Suffolk County to turn overtax-defaulted properties to veterans organi-zations to be rehabilitated forhousing. The program couldgo nationwide under a bill pro-posed in Congress by U.S. Rep. Steve Is-rael (D-Huntington).The federal bill would create a pilot pro-

gram based on the Suffolk model and pro-vide funding for qualified service organiza-tions to purchase and rehabilitate aban-doned properties for veterans. It provides a

solution to two problems: the nearly 50,000veterans nationwide (700 in Suffolk) whoare homeless, and the blight of so-called“zombie houses.” There are more than2,000 abandoned homes in SuffolkAbandoned properties that fall into disre-

pair bring down property values in neigh-borhoods. In some communities particular-ly hard-hit by foreclosures, dealing with the

zombies could revitalize the lo-cal housing market, the con-gressman said.

The bill went to committee earlier thismonth. If approved there it would be passedto Congress for consideration.It’s a classic case of taking lemons and

making them into lemonade, and we’repleased to see Suffolk innovation againleading the way. It deserves consideration.

The Nassau County Industrial De-velopment Agency’s last week ap-proved an economic developmentcompact for a proposed $77 milliontransit-oriented apartment project indowntown Mineola.Nassau County Executive Edward

P. Mangano said the project, “in theheart of Mineola, brings additionalhousing opportunities while gener-ating millions in economic benefitsfor downtown shops and restaurantsin Mineola and Garden City andcentral Nassau’s concentration ofemployers, retail and cultural ven-ues.”Over the past the five years, the

Nassau IDA has assisted in the con-struction of 1,350 new residentialunits, including 325 workforce andaffordable units. This compact, approved by the

IDA board at its Nov. 9 meeting, al-lows Mineola Metro—an affiliate ofLake Success-based LalezarianProperties—to construct a 266-unitapartment building at 199 2nd St.The project includes 27 affordableapartments, underground parking,ground-floor retail space and a vil-

lage green—all in close proximityto the Mineola Long Island RailRoad Station and the NICE Bus hub.A Citibank branch and parking lotwill be razed to allow for construc-tion of the 311,500-square-foothorseshoe-shaped project. The re-placement structure is estimated togenerate nearly $32 million in eco-nomic benefits for the county, $5.8million in new taxes, over 20 years.Construction of the apartment

complex, expected to start in Febru-ary 2016 and take 21 months, willresult in the creation of 160 full-time equivalent construction jobsand, ultimately, result in the creationof 18 permanent full-time equiva-lent jobs. The project has been ap-proved by the Village of Mineola,which also supports the economicdevelopment compact.Joseph Kearney, executive direc-

tor of the IDA, said, “This projectwill help meet the substantial unmetdemand for affordable housing aswell as market-rate rentals in Nas-sau County. Moreover, it will fur-ther the Village of Mineola’s down-town revitalization efforts.”

who rose to prominence after ap-pearing on “The Ellen DegeneresShow” two years ago, has sinceplayed with the likes of the AllmanBrothers, George Clinton, Dr. Johnand the Neville Brothers.Now he’s starring as Zack in the

musical “School of Rock,” which isin previews until Dec. 5 and opens onDec. 6 at the Winter Garden Theatre.

“This is amazing,” Brandon said.“Playing to [hundreds] of peopleevery night is so much fun.”And tonight, he’ll be returning to

national TV as backup player on “TheLate Show with Stephen Colbert.”Brandon’s father, Gary, said they

had just found out Monday.“It’s a real honor,” he said.“School of Rock” is Brandon’s

professional acting debut, and he beatout thousands of kids for the part.Brandon found out that he landed

the part in August while playing bas-ketball with friends.“I was about to shoot a three when

my father came out and said, ‘Youmade it in the ‘School of Rock,’”Brandon said.

The West Hollow Middle Schoolseventh-grader had previously gonethrough the audition process and waschosen for a workshop in the spring.But that process wouldn’t have

happened without the help of JoeIconis, a musical theater writer andperformer whose credits include theTV show “Smash.”Iconis, at the invitation of his

brother, West Hollow teacher PhilipIconis, the director of last year’sschool production of “Little Shop ofHorrors,” agreed to be the show’smusical director.Brandon was in the cast, and it was

Joe Iconis’ job to teach the studentsthe songs.“It was pretty evident from the get-

go that he was an extraordinarily tal-ented human being. The same way Iwould speak to him is the same way Iwould speak to the professional actorsand musicians I deal with every day.”So when Iconis learned that

“School of Rock” was looking fortalented kids to be in the show, heshot off an email to casting directorand friend Merri Sugarman to sug-gest she take a look at Brandon, call-ing him “a child prodigy on guitarand absolutely incredible.” He added,“His hair is also great.”Iconis sent along contact infor-

mation and a video of Brandon per-forming.Gary Niederauer soon got a call for

Brandon to audition.“I’m so thrilled for him,” Iconis

said. “It’s such an amazing thing. Be-ing in the theater world, it’s so hard.So much of it has to do it with luck.It’s so nice that someone makes it ontheir merits, even if it’s a little kid.I’m totally happy for him … I wasthe smallest, tiniest part of something

that’s very large.”Brandon calls the guitar his “zen.”“I don’t get tired when I’m playing

the guitar. I don’t get stressed. Youcan play the guitar any time. The gui-tar is my best friend.”Since rehearsals began in Septem-

ber, Brandon has been getting tutoredthree hours a days and has maintaineda 98 average, said his father, who picks

up his schoolwork each Monday.Come January, he’ll return to West

Hollow, except onWednesdays, whenthere are matinee performances.Brandon now splits time between DixHills and an apartment in Manhattan,where he’ll stay four nights a week toaccommodate the show’s schedule.For Brandon, the show is particu-

larly meaningful because it was the

movie version that inspired him tostart playing guitar.In fact, “the character that I’m play-

ing now is the one that got me startedin real life. It make me emotional.”To his friends and family who

have helped and supported him,Brandon said: “I miss you guys. Ihope to see you soon. And I hopeyou come to the show.”

In a past article, Iwrote about the loreand traditions of poet-ry and music describ-ing the power and

beauty of the seas. The sounds ofmusic, like the sounds of the sea,are varied and unique, and theyadd a special dimension whenheard on the water.The sound of music on our wa-

ters has been an enticing part ofthe boating experience in our areaof Huntington and the NorthShore.Did you know that the famous

scientist, Albert Einstein, was anavid boater and violinist as well as

being the father of the Theory ofRelativity. He loved to sail his 21-foot sloop on the waters of theEast Coast as well as on LakeSaranac in upstate New York. Healso owned a 15 foot-boat, which,in the 1930s, was a familiar sighton Huntington Harbor.According to stories related by

local boaters, Einstein would beseen in his little boat, a fishing linein the water, leisurely playing love-ly music on his violin.Another person bringing music

to our shores was the great Russianpianist and composer, Sergei Rach-maninoff, who lived in a house onCenterport Bay from 1939 to 1941.He delighted boaters when he prac-ticed on his piano as the music

would float on the water throughopen windows.In the 1960s and 1970s, mem-

bers of Huntington Yacht Club or-ganized a jazz ensemble called theTGIF Band.On Friday evenings, they would

get together and perform popularand jazz pieces that could be heardon summer evenings by localboaters on Huntington Harbor.In those same decades, a local

resident decided to have an organinstalled in his custom-built sail-boat. It was said that in the sum-mertime, the sounds of Bach’s mu-sic would sometimes be heard inthe middle of the night on the wa-ters of Lloyd Harbor, adding to thedreamlike atmosphere of moored

boats reflected in the moonlight.Yes, this lore was fact. In those

years, when we had purchased ourBristol sailboat and enjoyed spend-ing weekends moored at LloydHarbor, we were awakened at 2a.m. by the almost-surreal soundsof an organ coming from a largesailboat moored nearby!Nowadays, our boating public

has many options to listen to musicwhile enjoying a day at sea.Whether it be by listening torecorded music on our boats whilecruising, or listening to talentedmusicians performing on LaborDay at the Huntington LighthouseFestival of Music, music is in theair and on the water as part of ournautical enjoyment.

Wilderness Politics Tour, a co-headline 20-stop North Americantour with Andrew McMahon in theWilderness. Australian indie bandThe Griswolds and singer/song-writer, LOLO will both perform asspecial guests.“Vikings,” which dropped in Au-

gust, is the third full-length albumand first for DCD2 Records/WarnerBros. Records for the members ofNew Politics. It’s a nod to the his-tory of band’s two other membersDavid Boyd (lead vocals, guitar)and Søren Hansen (bass, guitar,keys, programming), who both hailfrom Denmark. Vecchio joined theband about five years ago. He’s stilljokingly considered the new guy.They all live in Brooklyn now.“Vikings” is a follow up to the

band’s “A Bad Girl in Harlem,”which spawned the commercialknockout, “Harlem,” which landedon multiple trailers for the film“Frozen.”Vecchio said the band has a lot of

influences.“We all are different listeners of

music. We try to keep our thingsflowing and have a good time. Wedon’t really write with any wallsup. We don’t say it’s got to be arock song or a ballad. That’s one ofthe highlights of New Politics. It’sthat we don’t keep ourselves insidea box.”Vecchio promises that attendees

of the show will get to experience alot of high energy, smiles and sweat.

“If you’re looking to have a goodtime, you should come to a NewPolitics show,” adding that thewhole tour is like a family. The di-versity really draws a big crowd.Vecchio will follow up the per-

formance (the show starts at 6:45p.m; tickets are $35-$65) withThanksgiving the following day inFarmingdale with family.“I’m looking forward to a home-

cooked meal.”

The history of Andrea’s 25 beginswith Andrew Sorrentino, who starteda pizzeria in Lake George 20 yearsago, then ventured to owning otherrestaurants, including Matteo’s onJericho Turnpike in HuntingtonStation.When Andrew died in 2009, sons

Salvatore and Matthew, along withtheir cousin, Peter Campisi, foundedAndrea’s 25 in 2010 in honor ofAndrew, which is Andrea in Italian.Twenty-five was his favorite number.Inside, you are greeted by the

modern, yet elegant decor and awarm welcome by managers andstaff. Serving classic Italian cuisinewith a modern flair that’s also thefocus their second location inWoodbury, which opened in 2012,diners are sure to have a meal thatwill satisfy their love of Italian food.To start, orders of antipasti such as

avocado salad ($14.95/small,$20.95/large); broccoli rabe andsausage egg rolls ($14.95/small,$20.95/large) are great to whet yourappetite. The avocado salad withromaine lettuce, red onions, grapetomatoes finished with extra virginolive oil vinaigrette is light but quitefilling. The broccoli rabe andsausage egg rolls are hand-rolled and

sautéed, but not oily. If you’re notusually a fan of broccoli rabe, thespicy Italian chimichurri cutsthrough the bitterness and leaves youwith a medley of spices and a slightkick.For entrees, the ones to try are

Sal’s Mac & Cheese ($20.95), vealchop Voldostana ($44.95), shrimpLuciano ($24.95) and seafood risotto($24.95). The macaroni and cheese ismade with mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino cheeses, andcombined with pancetta, making it ahearty meal. The veal chop is panfried, topped with mozzarella andprosciutto and finished with a mush-room marsala sauce that enhancesthe flavor of the very tender veal.The veal chop is more than enough

to share with another diner.The shrimp Luciano is sautéed in

Andrea’s 25 own special Lucianosauce (white wine, lemon, butter anda touch of marinara sauce) andserved atop a bed of spinach. Theshrimp is perfectly cooked and thecombination of ingredients used inthe Luciano sauce result in a light,slightly lemony dish. The seafoodrisotto is filled with different flavorsand textures from the PEI mussels,calamari, shrimps and little-neckclams. While risottos itself can beheavy, this risotto accentuates thevarious types of seafood and itsfreshness.If you’re still up for dessert after

having a sumptuous meal, theNapoleon and Italian cheesecake,both $12, are great.The large portions for entrees

extend to their desserts and theNapoleon is quite large enough formore than one person to taste. The

Napoleon is very creamy and not toosweet, so it’s perfect for those whoare concerned about their sugarintake.Tradition and family are important

to the Sorrentino family and that sen-timent extends to their diners.Said Manager Tyson Loverro, “We

want our diners to feel like they’rehome; to come in as friends andleave as family.”

It was a dreary Thursday morning,but Carillon Nursing and Rehabilita-tion Center in Huntington could nothave been more alive. With brightlylit hallways, vibrant artwork of land-scapes on the walls, welcomingsmiles from staff members and thescent of peach crisp pie in the air, res-idents are meant to feel right at home.“People are pleasantly surprised

when they come in [because] it’s notthe nursing home they expected tosee,” said Joseph Carillo, owner, di-rector and CEO of Carillon. “Theywalk around and they say they’reshocked on how bright and cheerful itis. They’re shocked that people aresmiling and laughing and music pro-grams are going on.”The family-owned and operated

nursing home has been around for 46years.“I think most people think they’re

going to go to nursing homes, sitaround and die,” said Carillo, 55, ofCenterport. But that’s a misconcep-

tion, he quickly adds. “People don’tsit around…we have excellent serv-ices and activates.”Those services include rehabilita-

tion for physical, occupational andspeech therapy, adult day health serv-ices, an on-site renal dialysis center,therapeutic recreation and more.The 110,000-square-foot nursing

home, which sits on 12.5 acres, hous-es 315 residents between who rangein age from their 50s to over 105, and60 people for adult day care.

“We have all of those services hereand the residents are thrilled,” saidGeraldine (Gerry) Albers, 54, ofAmityville and administrator at Car-illon Nursing.Along with this, Carillon organizes

several activities, from car shows, awinter ball, religious services, musicprograms, educational programs,happy hour, the opportunity to taketrips into the community and more.With 400 employees and 35-40

volunteers,Albers said the staff is de-

voted to the residents and enhancetheir lives, whether it’s arrangingtheir outfits, buying supplies orbringing in animals as visitors.“Our mission is to give the highest

Once again, this isyour hard-earnedmoney for your re-tirement. You want tomake sure these

monies are properly moved fromyour retirement account (401(k),403(b), 457, etc.) to your IndividualRetirement Account. Here are a fewthings to be aware of:Making Spousal Rollover Errors.

Look at all the options available toyou before deciding what to do. Youare allowed to treat your deceasedspouse’s IRA as your own, or rollover your spouse’s assets into yourown IRA. If you don’t need themoney or have a large estate anddon’t want the IRA assets to be tax-es as part of the estate when you die,it may be more tax-efficient to dis-claim the assets and allow them topass to your spouse’s contingentbeneficiary(s).Not Naming a Beneficiary. As an

IRA owner, you are not required toname a beneficiary (though mostIRA trustees insist on you namingone. Normally an IRA asks you toname a primary beneficiary – the

person(s) you want your IRA assetsto go to when you pass. They alsoask you to name a contingent bene-ficiary(s) which is mean to be acti-vated if your primary beneficiary isno longer alive. It may seem hard tobelieve, but something as simple asnaming a beneficiary on a properbeneficiary form could cause the un-necessary loss of thousands, andeven millions from your estate. Fail-ure to name beneficiaries directly ef-fects who will receive your IRA as-sets and the long-term value of theIRA payout afteryour death. In ad-dition, not naminga beneficiary couldresult in an accel-erated paymentschedule uponyour death, potentially increasingthe tax burden on the distribution re-cipients. Don’t you want the maxi-mum amount going to your heirsrather than the U.S. government?If your IRA does not have a

named beneficiary when you die; itwill typically have to pass throughto your estate. The estate may haveto go through probate, which can be

expensive and time consuming.Even worse, the entire account bal-ance may have to be distributed tothe estate by the end of the fifth yearafter your death. This rapid payoutmay cause a large tax bill, plus theplus the loss of future tax-deferredgrowth for your beneficiaries. Com-pleting beneficiary forms incorrect-ly can have a significant impact onyour estate..Not Updating Beneficiary Desig-

nations. I see this far too manytimes. Anotherchild is born andnot added to thebeneficiary desig-nation. The same iswhen a divorce oc-curs and the ‘ex’ isnot removed. Therewas a famous case

in New York years ago when theowner of the IRA, who was not mar-ried when she opened the account,never thought to change her benefi-ciaries from her uncle and sister toher husband after she married. Yearslater, when she died, her uncle haddied, but her sister was still around,and even when the husband went to

A fire engulfs an apartment complex at 250 Lowndes Ave. in Huntington StationFriday afternoon.

Fire, smoke and water damage at 250 Lowndes Ave. in Huntington Station dis-placed 10-15 residents of the apartment building, fire officials said.



Gurwin Jewish Geriatric Foundation is seeking azone change for 10.5 acres of property next to itshealth care campus in Commack to build a 237-unit senior independent living community.Gurwin, a nonprofit that operates a 67-acre sen-

ior health care campus on Hauppauge Road west ofCommack Road, wants to expand to 10.27-acreand a .2-acre unoccupied parcels it owns immedi-ately east of its current facility, which houses anursing and rehabilitation center, residences, healthcenter and home-care services.Gurwin requires a zone changes from R-40 and

R-20 residence districts to R-HS residential healthservices district to construct what would be thefourth continuing-care retirement community onLong Island, said Gurwin consultant Frank Mandy.As outlined by the state Department of Health,

CCRCs are residential alternatives for seniors ages62 and up that offer, under one contract, an inde-pendent living unit, residential facilities and accessto long-term care services, as residents’ needs

change over time.Mandy said, on average, residents of CCRCs are

in their mid- to late-70s and typically reside in thecommunities for 11 years. The residential unitscould range from $300,000 to $700,000, Mandysaid.“It’s a continuum. You move in healthy and, as

your health needs change with age, you have theability to move into the higher levels of care,”Mandy said. “The units use an entrance-fee mod-el, so someone would typically sell their homeand use the equity from their home to pay the en-trance fee. The entrance fee has a level of refund-ability associated with it, which can vary depend-ing on the choice the senior makes related to thesize of the unit.”If residents of CCRCs die while living in the

communities, that refund is then applied to the per-sons’ estate.If approved by the town board, and later by the

town planning board, Gurwin plans to staggerconstruction across two phases, although con-struction wouldn’t be expected to begin before2017. The first phase would include four residen-

tial buildings consisting of 176 units and onecommunity center. A second phase, which Mandysaid may or may not be built depending on thesuccess of the first phase, would have 61 moreunits in two additional buildings.Mandy said Gurwin would bid the construction

work locally to Long Island-based firms. Headded that Gurwin has met with civic groups,such as the Greater Huntington Civic Group, andhad “positive conversations” regarding the pro-posal. A representative from the Greater Hunting-ton Civic Group did not immediately respond be-fore deadline Tuesday.Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson,

who seconded with Councilman Eugene Cook theresolution scheduling a Dec. 8 public hearing onthe matter at a town board meeting Nov. 5, saidTuesday that the proposal is “certainly worth con-sideration.”“It fits in with the existing uses in the area,” he

said, citing Gurwin’s current operations and TheHamlet Golf & Country Club, which is immedi-ately south of Hauppauge Road. “But we’ll haveto wait and hear at the public hearing.”

HearingSet For 237-Unit Senior LivingComplexTOWN OF HUNTINGTON

A rendering depicts one of several structures proposed as part of a 237-unit senior independent living community planned by the Gurwin Jewish Geriatric Foundation.

a three-year pilot program.The legislation expands upon the

Housing Our Homeless Heroes Actin Suffolk that was authored by Leg-islator Steve Stern (D-Dix Hills).That law allows tax-defaulted prop-erties to be distributed by the coun-ty to veterans service organizationsthat renovate the homes for veteransand their families.According to a 2014 Department

of Housing and Urban Developmentreport to Congress, national veteranhomelessness has declined by 33percent since 2010.However, there are still an esti-

mated 49,933 homeless veterans onthe street on any given night in theUnited States, including 700 onLong Island, according to figuresprovided by HUD last year.Israel added that the legislation

would “not only put a roof over ourheroes’ heads, it will also transform

unsightly zombie homes into reno-vated properties that will revitalizehousing markets in many of ourLong Island communities.”A 2014 Newsday report showed

that there were 4,044 “zombiehomes” on Long Island, with 2,084in Suffolk.If approved, the pilot program

would be operated by U.S. Secretaryof Veterans Affairs Robert McDon-ald. A starting appropriation of $25million would fuel a “VeteransHomelessness Grant Fund,” whichMcDonald would pull from in orderto award grants not exceeding $1million to veterans’ service organi-zations, homeless organizationand/or non-governmental organiza-tions. Those organizations wouldthen use the grant to purchase aban-doned and/or foreclosed homes andconvert them into housing for home-less veterans.No more than $300,000 of an

awarded grant would be permittedto be used to purchase a single prop-erty. Veterans who live in the hous-ing would make payments, no lessthan 85 percent of the home’s fairmarket rent, to the grantee. Thegrantee would determine whetherthe payments would be consideredrent or a mortgage for the home.No less than 80 percent of the

payments made to the grantee wouldbe given back to the Department ofVeterans Affairs and placed into thegrant fund.In a statement, Stern thanked Is-

rael for introducing the federal bill.He called it an “important initiativeto not only assist our veterans, butalso to improve the quality of lifefor all of our neighbors.”A neighbor of a zombie home in

Dix Hills, Gina Raio Bitsimis, alsothanked Israel “for working to trans-form these costly eyesores intobeautiful homes for our country’s

veterans.“My family and I will welcome

these brave men and women into ourneighborhood with open arms andlook forward to the increase of bothour quality of life and the value ofour property.”Huntington Councilwoman Tracey

Edwards called zombie homes an“epidemic” that Huntington resi-dents have faced “for far too long.”“Congressman Israel’s legislation

will help improve the quality of lifefor our veterans and Huntington res-idents whose home values have beennegatively impacted by these eye-sores. I look forward to workingwith him to ensure our residents aretaken care of.”The bill was assigned a congres-

sional committee Nov. 5, which willconsider it before potentially pass-ing it on to the House of Represen-tatives or U.S. Senate for furtherconsideration.


Congressman’s bill expands on veterans’ housing law

part, to always offer kitchen servic-es while open. They would also needto provide seating for 90 percent ofthe maximum number of people al-lowed in the establishment by occu-pancy regulations, excluding barand counter service.A bistro, which cannot have drive-

through access, would require oneparking space for every 200 squarefeet of its total floor area, but could be

granted parking relief if they arewithin 300 feet of a municipal lot.They would be permitted within C-4,C-5, C-6, C-7 and I-1 zoning districts,all of which currently permit restau-rants and/or food shops.Edwards said she modeled the

bistro element of the legislation aftersimilar code designations in townsacross Long Island, such as the Townof Islip, which calls that type of es-tablishment a “minor restaurant.”

As is typical when code changesare proposed, Edwards said, theHuntington Town attorney proposedanother change meant to make towncode clearer.The change would pull the

“bar/tavern” designation out from

the current “restaurant” definition,where it’s currently found. The re-quirements for a “bar/tavern” wouldremain unchanged.A public hearing on the proposal is

scheduled for 7 p.m. Dec. 8 at Hunt-ington Town Hall.


feel like this is their home,” Carillosaid, adding that one of their mottosis, “Let our family of professionalstake care of your family.”Carillo’s father, Ferdinand, uncle,

Joseph Jr. and grandfather, Joseph Sr.,began the nursing home back in 1969.The family was homebuilders and,when they were trying to make the lotinto a shopping center, the land wasonly zoned for a church, a library or anursing home.

“They got into nursing home by de-fault…but they just thought that itwas good business for the communi-ty [and that] there was a need for it atthe time,” Carillo said.However, the single-floor estab-

lishment has since grown, startingwith a skilled nursing facility andthen a second health-related facilityin 1975.“The best way to convince a fami-

ly to come in to a nursing home istake them on a tour and, [as] they

walk around, they see the place isclean, they see that the residents arecared for,” Carillo said.Through the years, Carillon has

continually renovated.Now, it has private enclosed court-

yards with gazebos, outdoor sittingand a miniature golf course.“Nursing homes are not what they

were thought of 30 years ago. They’rerehab centers. They’re communitycenters. They’re people coming inand people go home,” Carillo said.

“The people are happy to be here andmost importantly their family mem-bers are happy that they’re here, com-fortable and confidant.”

Cadets of Temperance(Nov. 24, 1848)Huntington took steps to organize a youth group for kids ages 12-18 called theCadets of Temperance. The Cadets were an auxiliary faction to the Sons ofTemperance. The purpose for the organization was to guard young people from“immoral tendencies.”

Proposal to Extended Syosset Branch to Huntington(Nov. 23, 1860)A story notes that a “strong effort” was to be made to extend the Long Island RailRoad Syosset branch to Huntington village in the nearby vicinity. Residents of ColdSpring Harbor interested in the extension expressed support for the railroad, whichwould run from Woodbury Hill to Harrison’s Hill. That route was considered a faircompromise for nearby villages. A story reads that the route was the best compro-mise asnd the best route for the further extension to Port Jefferson.

Sisters Die In Lamp Fire(Nov. 23, 1860)Two sisters were burned to death after the liquid from a lamp engulfed them inflames. The event occurred at the house of William L. Titus, of Centerport. The sis-ters, Mrs. Titus, and Mrs. Durat, were sewing when Titus’ daughter, who was 6 or 7years old, was playing with the lamp. The fluid got outside the lamp and ignited, andthe girl pushed the lamp away -- directly onto Durat’s lap. She became saturated inthe liquid, as did her sister, who tried to help her by putting out the fire with her ownclothing. A married daughter of Titus who happened to be in the house at the timetried to put the fire out, but wound up burning her hands.

With her brown hair tied back in-to a low bun, 14-year-old CamilleRoberts smiles widely to hercoach before approaching the div-ing board. Once she reaches theboard, where she’s spent most ofthe last five years of her life per-fecting her craft, her smile turns toa look of determination.The slim-figured athlete is fo-

first female Cold Spring HarborHigh School student to win a NassauCounty diving championship. As afreshman.On Nov. 20, she’ll add another

“first” to her Seahawks résuméwhen she competes in her first NewYork state diving championships atIthaca College. She’ll be one of twoNassau County representatives.“I still remember the moment,”

said Deborah Roberts, Camille’smother, recalling when her daughterfirst discovered a love for diving.Roberts, 46, said it came after aswimming lesson six years ago.“She was 8 years old and, in the

swimming lessons, they taught youhow to dive, just dive off to startyour strokes, and that sameday…she spent the whole afternoondiving.”Roberts thought to herself,

“‘Well, maybe she would like to dodiving as a sport.”Camille took that idea to heart.“I learned how to dive off the

block and I got really excited andwanted to start diving,” saidCamille, who lives in Laurel Hol-low.Back in Lausanne, Switzerland,

Camille began diving for a localclub before her family moved toOhio in 2009. Camille continued de-veloping her skills there. In August,the family moved to Laurel Hollow.Her mother, father Matthew, twin

brother Noah and 9-year-old brotherGabriel have supported Camillethroughout her diving career, shesaid.“I started off with just lessons,

simple dives and eventually I gotless scared,” Camille said, addingthat her coaches soon moved her upto tougher dives.Camille’s current coach is George

Taylor III, who has worked with hersince she joined Cold Spring Har-bor High School. The pair has fo-cused on Camille’s board presenceand spatial orientation, while ensur-ing she is “riding the board” in or-der to get better jumps into herdives.“I knew that proper mechanics,

good board work [and] her mentalstate of mind would all play a partin this,” Taylor said. And so doesher love for the sport, he added.“In practice, with each dive, she

smiles.”Coming into the 2015-2016 sea-

son, Taylor said he and Camille fo-cused on her “mechanics, bodyalignment, and techniques thatwould get her to adjust to highschool competition.”But, as her skills quickly devel-

oped throughout the season, Taylorsaid the goal changed from that of

perfecting fundamentals to compet-ing for a state championship.Aware of how difficult that would

be, the duo had to work fast but takeit one step at a time, Taylor said.Camille made every practice andtrained very hard.“He’s actually given her a lot of

personal attention,” Camille’smother said. “[She’s] perfectedsome dives she didn’t have just afew months ago, so he’s really, in ashort amount of time, made a bigdifference.”At the state competition next Fri-

day, Camille will dive a total of 11times. There are five categories ofdives, including inwards, backs, re-verses, fronts and twisters, and ath-letes have to complete two dives forfour of the categories and triple up

on one, Camille said.Judges base scores on the jump,

rip and form of the dive and, when adive is executed, less splash is better.Camille will go to reached the

state competition after claiming aNassau championship Nov. 4 atNassau County Aquatic Center inEast Meadow. There, Camille broketwo school records with a score of289.70 on her sixth dive and 449.85on her 11th dive. Camille ended upwinning the county title by 14points.“To have an athlete compete at

such a high level, with such poiseand confidence is wonderful to be apart of,” said Michael Bongino,Cold Spring Harbor’s athletic direc-tor. “Camille is one of those athleteswith unlimited potential.”

Few quarterbacks have the liber-ty of just throwing the football asfar as they can downfield and hav-ing the outcome be positive. HalfHollow Hills West’s AnthonyLucarelli is one of those quarter-backs, especially when he’s throw-ing to 6-foot-5 wide receiverCameron Jordan.In Hills West’s 21-7 win over

West Islip during Saturday’sSuffolk Division II semifinal,Lucarelli connected with Jordan fortwo scores.The first was a 78-yard touch-

down where Lucarelli said “we toldhim to go deep and I just threw it asfar as I could.”“It’s just so much fun throwing to

him. The connection between us hasbeen sick. We’ve worked so hard toget to this point,” the senior quarter-back said after the game. “He getseverything, he’s unbelievable.”The touchdown sparked second-

seeded Hills West’s dormantoffense late in the second quarterafter Hills West defensive backDeyvon Wright picked off a WestIslip pass from quarterback JakeGuercio at the Colts 22-yard-line.On the very next play, with 1:49remaining in the half, Jordan ran ago route and Lucarelli hit him stridefor a 78-yard touchdown, Jordan’slongest score of the season.“That was a game-changer,”

Lucarelli said.Jordan added, “Making big plays

is what we’re about.”The touchdown broke a score-

less tie, but third-seeded West Islip(7-3) immediately answered toscore a touchdown of its ownbefore halftime.“We knew there was going to be

adversity, especially against a goodteam like West Islip,” KyleMadden, Hills West’s head coach,said. “But the boys responded inthe second half.”On their first offensive posses-

sion of the second half, the Colts(9-1) drove down to West Islip’s 7-yard-line. There, Hills West linedup in a pistol formation, leavingJordan in one-on-one coverage onthe left side of the field. Lucarellitook the snap and immediately loft-ed a pass toward Jordan, who ran afade route and beat his defender forhis second score of the game.“Me and him have a really good

connection. He knows where I’mgoing to be,” said Jordan, who fin-ished the day with three catches for117 yards.Lucarelli added another score in

the closing seconds of the thirdquarter, this time on a 19-yardtouchdown run where he rolled outto his left, but opted to tuck and runfor the end zone, mostly untouched.Lucarelli finished the day with 133passing yards and 76 rushing yards.West Islip’s offense – which lost

starting quarterback Conor Smith

early to an apparent shoulder injury– could not bounce back from thedeficit. But the Lions did test HillsWest’s defense in the fourth quarterwith two separate first-and-goal

opportunities.The first one came with

just under five minutesremaining, but Colts line-backer Dan Nam Kung putan end to the drive when hewrapped up West Islip’squarterback for a sack onfourth and goal from theColts’ six-yard line.Another opportunity for

West Islip came with lessthan three minutes remain-ing. Once again, the Coltsforced West Islip into afourth-and-goal try, thistime from the seven-yardline. A West Islip pass fellincomplete and the Coltstook over on downs.

With the win, Hills West advancesto its second-straight SuffolkDivision II championship game.Last year, the Colts fell in the cham-pionship game 27-14 to East Islip.On Friday, the Colts will meet

top-seeded Newfield in the champi-onship game, which will be playedat Stony Brook University. Kickoffis slated for 7 p.m. There will be a$6 admission fee.When the Colts played Newfield

(10-0) in the regular season Sept.19, the Wolverines won 41-13.“Newfield is a great team. They

have great athletes all over the fieldand they play with a lot of passion,”coach Madden said. “But I talk aboutbringing out a telescope to look atyour long-term goals and a micro-scope to work on the small details.“This week we have to work on

the small details that hurt us lastgame. This time we have to be astep better.”
