Suffolk police have identified thetwo people killed in a wrong-wayon the Northern State Parkway inDix Hills last week.Police said a Third Precinct offi-

cer, suspecting a DWI andstolen vehicle, attempted to stopBrittany Vella, 25, of Middle Island,who was driving a Dodge Durangoin a 7-Eleven parking lot in CentralIslip at 1074 Motor Parkway ataround 2:40 a.m. Oct. 20. Accord-ing to police, the vehicle’s affixedlicense plates did not match the reg-istered vehicle.While the officer was trying to

determine if Vella was under the in-fluence, she fled the traffic stop, po-lice said. Vella then traveled west-bound on Motor Parkway andreached Commack Road where sheentered the eastbound lanes of the

Northern State while traveling west-bound.Between exits 41 and 42 on the

parkway, Vella crashed into a 2011Honda Accord driven by SarwanNN, 60, of Smithtown.Police said the Vella’s vehicle

burst into flames and both driverswere pronounced dead at the scene.Police said the officer attempted toextinguish the flames that engulfedVella’s vehicle, but was unsuccess-ful.There were no other occupants in

the vehicles and no other police ve-hicles were involved in the pursuit.Fire officials said the Dix Hills

Fire Department responded to thecrash with two rescue engines to ex-tinguish the flames.Both vehicles were impounded.After being closed in both direc-

tions, the Northern State reopened alittle after 10 a.m.NewYork State police, which pa-

trols the parkway, was notified bySuffolk police at the onset of the in-cident, but are not involved in theinvestigation, which is ongoing.

Police IdentifyDrivers InDeadlyCrashDIX HILLS

Dix Hills Firefighters extinguish a SUV that was involved in a wrong-way crashthat killed two people on the Northern State Parkway in Dix Hills on Oct. 20.


Town of Huntington officials want to suspend cer-tificates of occupancy for two Huntington Stationrental properties they say are controlled by CatcoAs-sociates LP, a company owned by landlord DonaldPius.Huntington’s action is prompted by a complaint

regarding one of Catco’s properties and town inspec-tions at several of them, according to a town-issuedrelease.Huntington Town Attorney Cindy Elan-Mangano

sent a notice dated Oct. 14 to Northport-based Catcothat states “unless the unsafe, unsanitary or danger-ous conditions” found at 76-A E. 3rd St. in Hunting-ton Station and 11 Allison Court in Huntington Sta-tion were addressed by Oct. 23, then the town wouldmove at an Oct. 27 hearing to suspend the addresses’certificates of occupancy and revoke rental permits.At 76-A E. 3rd St., town inspectors found multi-

ple code violations, including no certificate of occu-pancy for a living space in the basement, accordingto Elan-Mangano’s notice. Dressers, clothes, chairsand a couch were discovered in the basement, ac-cording to the town.At 11 Allison Court, inspectors found a “fur-

nished basement” with no certificate of occupancy,along with electrical hazards, litter and debris, ac-cording to the notice. Bedrooms and a bathroomwere also found in the basement, which were notshown on a third-party inspection report that wasused to obtain the property’s rental permit, accord-ing to the town.Under a resolution sponsored by Huntington

Councilwoman Tracey Edwards and adopted by the

town board in May, single-family rental houseswithin the town are required to be registered and un-dergo yearly inspections.”This action serves notice that the Town intends

to enforce all the provisions of the new code to en-sure tenant safety,” Edwards said in a release.In order to bring the properties into compliance,

the release said, Catco must “correct all violationsand obtain a certificate of occupancy for the base-ments at both addresses or restore them to an un-finished state.”Pius, who Huntington officials said controls 72

rental properties in town, said Oct. 21 his propertiesare in “full compliance with all of the state andTownof Huntington codes.” He added that he has “com-plied with all of those allegations that are in thosenotices. I have rental permits on every one of myproperties.”Town spokesman A.J. Carter said Oct. 20 that

Pius contacted the town to inform officials that thecode violations had been addressed and to schedulea town inspection for Oct. 22. However, Pius couldnot confirm that appointment, saying his officehandles appointments.

Talk about a treat... Remember whenyou’d give blood and you’d end up goinghome with a cookie and cup of juice? If youwere lucky, that is. Well, I sawsomething this week that blewmy mind. Apparently membersof the Huntington Fire Depart-ment were giving away steak dinners -- yes,real steak -- at the department’s blood drive onMonday. Can you believe that? An entire steakfor donating blood. Why couldn’t they havecome up with those kinds of incentives wayback when? “Yes, of course, I’ll donate bloodfor some caviar and a lobster. Thank you, sir.”That would have been grand.

Summer in October… Can you believehow warm it was last week? I went from oneweek telling you about how the sky opening upand the snow falling to this week telling youabout how I almost went to the beach! Serious-ly, this weather is bi-polar. Get it? Cheesy jokeaside, can we just pick a season already? I’mnot sure whether I’m supposed to break out thesandals or the snow boots. For the sake of mycloset, Mother Nature, make up your mind!

Amazin’… The amazin’ Mets are back in theWorld Series. Can you believe a New Yorkteam is in the World Series and it’s not the Yan-kees? I remember way back in 1986 when theMets were kings of the baseball world. Thingshave changed a bit since then, including ticket

prices. Can you believe people were paying, onaverage, $1,667.82 for tomor-row’s game inQueens? That’s according to

the Daily News. Regardless,enjoy the series, everyone,wherever you decide to watchit. Let’s play ball!

Wrong Way…On my way home from worklast Thursday, my eyes were wide with horroras I watched this mad person turn down thewrong street where Deer Park Road splits, andhead towards oncoming traffic. Stopped at ared light in front of the Dix Hills Fire Depart-ment, my hands clasped over my mouth andmy sight was fixated on the car. As other driv-ers looked on in shock, I was expecting anothervehicle to turn down the right curve of DeforestRoad North and slam right into this mad per-son. To all drivers, keep your wits about youwhen you’re on the road! Pay attention and donot turn down a street that curves onto oncom-ing traffic. You could give people a heart at-tack!

A new weapon against SuffolkCounty’s “brain drain” met for thefirst time Monday afternoon and it’scalled the Suffolk CountyAlliance ofChambers.Members of the group, a consor-

tium of chambers and business or-ganizations across Suffolk, aim tobring their collective power togetherto help businesses overcome hurdlesand, in turn, retain Suffolk’s youngprofessionals.“If we can provide jobs and hous-

ing for our youth, they’ll stay,” saidRobert Fonti, SCAC co-chair. “Buildit and they will stay -- not ‘they willcome.’”To do that, Fonti, who is also Suf-

folk chairman of the bi-county LongIsland Business Council, addedSCAC hopes to focus on steadyingSuffolk’s business climate, in part bylobbying for business-friendly legis-lation.One example Fonti cited is a state

bill that would allow businesses tomake contributions into a small busi-ness tax-deferred savings account foruse during economic hardship, orwhen the governor deems a naturaldisaster, for the purpose of job reten-tion or creation. The bill passed inthe state Senate in June and is nowunder review by the Assembly.SCAS will also work with officials

on the county level.“Growth will be driven in this re-

gion by our small businesses,” saidCounty Executive Steve Bellone,

who attended Monday’s meeting.“This group, I think, potentially isone of the best developments that wehave seen in our county in a longtime.”Bellone added that SCAS could

collectively address issues affectingall of Suffolk. “The foundational is-sues of housing, transportation, jobopportunities and infrastructure in-vestments that will power the econ-omy to bring young people back toour region,” he said.This is something that individual

chambers and organizations maystruggle with, “But we have strengthin numbers,” said SCAS co-ChairGina Coletti.“If there are legislative issues that

need to be risen above, individually,sometimes, it’s hard to overcomethem. You can’t always get some-thing done when you’re on a smallerscale,” said Coletti, who is an asso-ciate broker with Hauppauge-basedSmith & DeGroat Real Estate.Representatives from the 60

chambers and organizations enrolledin SCAC – including 11 from theTown of Huntington – plan to meetquarterly each year. While it’s beenattempted in the past, Coletti said,this is the first time a collective ofchambers and organization in Suf-folk has made major strides. “We’redetermined to get this done,” shesaid.Fonti said SCAS also plans to

work with its western counterpart,the Nassau Council of Chambers ofCommerce, to boost their influenceacross Long Island.

SuffolkCounty

Executive:Steve BelloneIncumbent Democrat

Steve Bellone is seeking asecond term in office partlyin hopes of having the coun-ty better serve as a unitingregional force, as opposedto something akin to an 11thtown. That’s done by work-ing with local municipali-ties to build housing and in-frastructure necessary to re-tain and attract talent, whilealso not burdening taxpay-ers with wasteful spending.Bellone points toPatchogue’s revitalization,plans for the RonkonkomaHub and the WyandanchRising project as positiveexamples.Bellone has also been a

strong proponent of sewerexpansion – a third rail ofpolitics for decades.Bellone’s challenger, Re-

publican James O’Connor, alawyer and former NorthHempstead Town Boardmember, says Bellone hasput the county at the brinkof fiscal collapse thanks inlarge part to three costly po-lice contracts and lax fiscalconstraints. But that, in ad-dition to cutting taxes, isabout the extent of his argu-ment for running for office.

Bellone, by the way,counters that he got the bestpossible deal in the face ofmandatory arbitration whilemaking newer police offi-cers more affordable. Addi-tionally, he followedthrough on his predecessorSteve Levy’s plan to cut1,100 county jobs, closedthe Foley nursing home andsaved $300 million byavoiding mandated jail con-struction in Yaphank.There’s more to be done,

Bellone admits. We believehe can continue to pushthrough improvements.Long Islander News endors-es Steve Bellone.

SuffolkLegislative

16th District:Steve SternDix Hills attorney Steve

Stern, the incumbent Demo-crat, is running for his finalterm in office. Known forhis support of local veter-ans, this term he passed theHousing Our Homeless He-roes Act, which will converthomes seized for unpaidtaxes for use by veterans.His other main concerns arepublic safety, housing andsewer infrastructure. Stern,46, doesn’t rule out runningfor higher elective office infuture, but has no plans for

that as of now.Thomas McNally, 51, a

Republican from Dix Hills,identified the state of thecounty’s finances as his topconcern. To help fix the Suf-folk’s troubles, he would callfor a 2.5 percent across-the-board cut of all agencies, ex-cept for the police depart-ment, for which he wouldseek a 1 percent cut. He be-lieves the county’s ability toprovide services wouldn’t beaffected. Nonetheless, hisplan would not likely to gainmuch steam.He correctly notes that

Suffolk needs to attractmore businesses that are ap-pealing to a younger gener-ation and that we need tobuild a housing base thatsupports both younger andolder demographics. SteveStern has been working to-ward those goals for thepast 10 years. He deservesanother two.

Suffolk 17thLegislativeDistrict: Lou

D’AmaroDemocrat Lou D’Amaro,

first elected in 2005, is alsorunning for what would behis last two years in officedue to term limits. As chairof the Legislature’s budgetand finance committee, he is

well versed in its challengesand has sought ways tostreamline services, such asbacking the merger of thecounty comptroller andtreasurer offices and mergingthe park police into the coun-ty police. He says there’smore room for consolidation,such as with informationtechnology. He also supportsthe development of down-towns as economic engines,expanding sewers to improvethe environment, and tack-ling the region’s drug prob-lem as a health issue.Janet Heller-Smitelli, an

attorney with a long recordof community involvement,brought to the table her en-thusiasm and drive, and apromise to “dig deeper” and“do better.” While the Re-publican identified thecounty budget and borrow-ing, infrastructure andhousing as areas that needto be addressed, she lackedknowledge and offered littlein the way of solutions.Long Islander News endors-es Lou D’Amaro.

Suffolk 18thLegislativeDistrict:WilliamSpencer

When William R. “Doc”Spencer, a physician in pri-vate practice, won electionto the legislature four yearsago, the region faced strong

fiscal challenges. While hesees tax-cutting as a priori-ty, he prefers a surgical ap-proach to across the boardspending cuts. Though hehas worked to reduce thecounty’s long-term debt, hesaid he’s all for the countyinvesting in infrastructure tohelp grow the economy.One such investment helpedNorthport Village makeneeded improvements to itssewer plant; the result wasalmost immediate improve-ments to water quality. Infact, one of his proudestmoments as a legislator waswhen the town re-opened aCenterport beach after aneight-year banning onswimming.He can also take credit for

getting the life-saving hero-in antidote, Narcon, into thehands of first responders,and banning dangerouspowdered caffeine fromsale in the county.Grant Lally, an attorney

who lives in Lloyd Neck,promotes cutting taxes andexpenses and doing awaywith programs the countycan’t afford in times of dis-tress. He cites County Exec-utive Steve Bellone’s planfor a north-south bus route.Lally would also like to seean increase in communitypolicing.Spencer has accom-

plished much in his twoterms in the legislature.He’s earned another tripback.

A downloadable interactive maphighlighting Huntington downtownbusinesses will be launched in timefor Small Business Saturday. De-signed to highlight area shops andbusinesses, the map will provideusers location and contact informa-tion along with a brief summary ofthe shop, its offering, and specialdeals being offered.The map was developed on a rec-

ommendation from the Holiday Pa-rade Committee to link Small Busi-ness Saturday promotions during theday with the town’s Lighted HolidayParade that night. Coming the Satur-day after Thanksgiving, and a dayafter retail’s Black Friday, SmallBusiness Saturday is a nationalAmerican Express promotion thatencourages shoppers to patronize lo-cal businesses.That same Saturday is the night of

Huntington’s Lighted Holiday Pa-rade and street festival. Though theparade draws close to 10,000 specta-tors to town, many merchants have

complained that preparations for theevent disrupt an important shoppingday at the start of the holiday season.A beta version of the map was in-

troduced at a village merchants meet-ing organized by the town and theHuntington Township Chamber ofCommerce on Sept. 28 at The Para-mount. Participating merchants willbe marked with an icon on a map ofthe village. Clicking on that icon willbring up that merchant’s location in-

formation, a description of the store,and any special promotions for theday. It can be linked to the store’swebsite or downloadable coupons.“It’s an awesome way to highlight

Small Business Saturday and getpeople downtown earlier, before theparade starts,” said Ellen O’Brien,executive director of HuntingtonTownship Chamber of Commerce.“This will get shoppers in the door tosee what the shops are offering. With

other events planned to be heldthroughout the day, parade-goers willbe encouraged to come to town earlyand take advantage of whatever sales,promotions or giveaways merchantsare offering to start the holiday shop-ping season.”Those events include a gingerbread

house contest for local bakeries, artsand crafts stations at locationsthroughout the village, and live en-tertainment throughout the day.“We are very excited by the newest

additions to this year’s holiday pa-rade and fair that promise to make itthe best one ever by increasing thelink between the event and SmallBusiness Saturday,” Huntington Su-pervisor Frank P. Petrone said. “Wehope that residents and visitors willuse the interactive map to learn whatHuntington village merchants are do-ing to make the whole day special.”There is no cost for merchants to

get on the app, but they must fill outa short application form available byemailing [email protected]. Applications must beemailed with the store’s logo by Oct.30.

The Town of Huntington has itsshare of suspected sightings ofghostly apparitions and tales ofphysical manifestations of the de-ceased.Huntington resident and author

Kerriann Flanagan Brosky has writ-ten seven books on the subject ofLong Island’s haunted places, whichalso bring to light the rich and some-times overlooked history of Long Is-land.“It’s not about the blood and gore

and these stories like Sweet HollowRoad and [the Amityville Horror];it’s more of the legend part of ourculture of what we talk about onLong Island.”Her latest book, “Historic Haunts

of Long Island,” finds Brosky turn-ing her attention to the subject ofghosts and legends from the GoldCoast to Montauk Point. A sizeablechunk of her book focuses on theNorth Shore, where towns like Hunt-ington, Melville, and Cold SpringHarbor are featured.Here are a few tales to share with

others this Halloween weekend.

David Conklin House2 High St., Huntington

The David Conklin House, owned

by the Huntington Historical Society,was originally constructed in 1750 byThomas Conklin and is said to con-tain the spirits of Conklin’s kin.During the Revolutionary War, in

1777, the landmark’s name bearer,David Conklin, was captured by theBritish and held captive for assistingthe rebels.It’s not clear if Conklin died in the

home, but the house sawmany deathsand births throughout the years.

Since then, the home’s occupantshave described feeling something orsomebody touching them, while alsohearing noises and footsteps thatseemed out of the ordinary.Volunteers at the Conklin House,

which has since been converted intoa museum, have expressed uneasi-ness and feeling as though therewere a presence behind them, ac-cording to local author KerriannFlanagan Brosky, who has writtenmany books on the subject of LongIsland hauntings.“One of the previous homeowners

had a feeling that she was beingwatched and followed,” said Brosky,who interviewed the homeownerback in 2005. “Back in those dayspeople were born and they died inthe same house, it [supernatural oc-currences] could just be a result of alot of leftover energy.”

Mount Misery & SweetHollow Road

West Hills

From sightings of a phantom copmissing a portion of his skull, to aglowing, ghostly apparition knownas the Lady in White, this winding

stretch of road through the woods inWest Hills is home to several mythsand legends bordering on the freight-ing and macabre.One legend claims that during the

18th or 19th century, a hospital in thearea was burned to the ground, withsome patients and hospital staff un-able to escape the blazing infernoalive.Today, their burning spirits are

said to be seen fleeing from thegrounds, with loud shrieking accom-panying them.No matter the myth or legend,

Mount Misery and Sweet HollowRoad is still a spooky road, especial-ly at night, and continues to be apopular destination for thrill seekersand those hoping to experience thesupernatural.

Fiorello Dolce Bakery57 Wall St., Huntington

While serving Huntington villagealmond croissants, French dough-nuts and freshly prepared tiramisufor the past nine years, Fiorello Bak-ery is also known for dishing outlarge helpings of the supernatural.In the 1900s, the surrounding area

was home to row houses that provid-ed housing for the community’s poorpopulation.Through the help of a medium,

owner owner Gerard Fioravanti saidhe discovered that a spirit belongingto a man identified only as “Eddie”roams the shop, along with 12 otherentities.“Eddie was just a high-school kid

caught in a drug deal gone wrong,”Fioravanti said. “The medium could-n’t quite make out what he was say-ing, because of all the gurgling fromhis stab wounds.”Fioravanti has checked and double

checked overnight footage from theshop’s security cameras and showeda recording on his cellphone contain-ing footage of “orbs” or spirits hov-ering in the frame. “There are oldsouls stuck here,” he said.But that’s not all. Over the years

Fioravanti says that oven doors have

have never experienced this before,”said Fioravanti. “It’s definitely aweird feeling, but it’s both comfort-ing and odd.”

The Shops at SuitePieces

1038 New York Ave.,Huntington Station

As early as 1867, trains began ar-riving at Huntington Station, and ho-tels soon began sprouting up to ac-commodate travelers.During this time, it was rumored

that chauffeurs would drink in thebasement of the Venice Hotel, thesite of what is now what is now SuitePieces, antique store.The old walls of the basement con-

tain disturbing murals, believed tohave been painted between 1914 andthe 1920s by the chauffeurs them-selves, once they’d fill up on whiskey.One mural contains a depiction of

cation later incorporated a restaurantand bar before converting to an an-tique shop in the late 1970s. Itchanged ownership before landingwith current owner,Amanda Peppard.“I’ve heard a lot of stories, and it

kind of freaked me out at first,” said

Peppard. “I’m a scaredy-cat, but I’venever been scared in this building.”Not everyone thinks so.One employee claims that he was

closing the store one day and heardsome shuffling down the staircase,but that when he went to investigatethe noises, no one was there.Others have reported hearing foot-

steps, too. Along with the faint smellof women’s perfume, but Peppardmaintains that Suite Pieces is a safeshop.“We’re a shop people come to to

customize their homes with col-lectibles, antiques and fine art,” saidPeppard. “And I think the spiritswere happy with this transforma-tion.”

The Gourmet Whaler111 Main St., Cold Spring Harbor

Before it was dubbedthe Gourmet Whaler, thisMain Street eatery wasonce owned by a studentof Cordon Bleu culinaryschool named LillianFeldman.Feldman left the

French culinary instituteand settled in Cold SpringHarbor during the late1940s or early 1950s andopened the gourmet foodstore in 1953.Everything Feldman

prepared was made fromscratch and baked usingher prized stove, whichthe chef left behind, alongwith some of her otherbelongings, after sellingthe business sometime in

the 1960s.Throughout the years, owners of

the business claim that Feldman’sghost still resides in the store. Re-ports of the oven clanging, and doorsslamming are troubling accountshanded down from owner to ownerat the eatery.One of its current owners, Denise

Chin, who moved into the locationwith her business partner ShawnLeonard in April, says there weretimes when she had goose bumpsand the hairs on her neck would

stand up.Nowadays, that initial fear she had

when hearing strange noises shortlyafter purchasing the business hassubsided.“I don’t feel the way now that I

used to,” said Chin. “In the first cou-ple of months I was worried, and itwas like I felt a presence.”Now, Chin and her partner make

sure that their guests are well-fed,and that Feldman’s belongings arealways kept clean. Just for goodmeasure.

Walt Whitman



By Chris [email protected]

As part of National Teen DriverSafety Week, Walt Whitman HighSchool last week hosted its 3rd annu-al “It Can Wait” event to demonstratethe dangers of distracted driving withthe aid of oral and video presentationsand a virtual reality 3-D simulator.The high school, together with itspartnerAT&T andNewYork StateAs-semblyman Chad Lupinacci (R-SouthHuntington), welcomed Walt Whit-man high school seniors into theschool auditorium, where they werejoined by their teachers and local lawenforcement members.After viewing a short documentarycalled “The Last Text,” which focusedon the dangers of textingwhile drivingand featured testimonials of survivorsand family members whose lovedones died while texting on the road,Brandon Ray, AT&T Regional Direc-tor of External Affairs for all of LongIsland, spoke to students and faculty.Following the video presentation,Ray asked students how they felt afterseeing the video and how they would

best describe the experience.One high school senior in the audi-ence said that he knew of a personwho died as a result of texting whiledriving and that texting while on theroad “really can wait.”Ray claimed that nine people dieand countless are injured per day as aresult of texting while driving and that

a person is “much more likely to be-come involved in a traffic accident dueto texting and driving.”Ray then asked the 450 high schoolseniors if they have every texted orhave seen someone they know textingwhile driving. Almost immediately,almost all of the hands went up.“When 50 percent of high school-

ers do text, you are 23 times morelikely to get into a serious accident,so I think that really drove home tothem today,” Lupinacci said. “Theyalso got to try out the simulator sothey could see the hazards of textingwhile driving.”At the end of the event, some stu-dents signed a pledge to not text whiledriving on a large placard by the audi-torium stage, while others lined up forthe opportunity to experience the 3-Dsimulator, which employed a headsetand strong audio to recreate a realisticcrash experience for the headset wear-er who texts while driving during thesimulation.Walt Whitman high school seniorDaniel Moreira admits to textingwhile driving and said that the day’spresentation was “very moving” andthat he “never thought about texting inthat way” before.“The car accidents and the storiesthat people told on the screenwas verymoving and very upsetting,” Moreirasaid. “I’m glad I got to experience itall, because if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t feelthis terrified about texting and driving.I’ll never do it again.”

Huntington village has no shortageof Japanese restaurants. But driveabout five minutes past the villageand you’re in for a worthwhile expe-rience at Kura Barn.Kura Barn was originally a gift

shop owned by Noriko and NoriMorimoto when it first came on thescene in 1975. By 1977, it becamegrocery story where one could buyAsian food products recommendedby Nori, or listen to Noriko’s tales ofJapan.In 1980, the Morimotos decided to

expand the business and establishKura Barn as the first Japaneserestaurant in Suffolk County. Theirvision was to introduce the cuisinethey loved to those unfamiliar withit. Throughout its evolution, the busi-ness has stayed in the family. Whenthe Morimotos retired in 2007, theirniece, Ayano, and her husband, ChefMakoto Yamada, took the reins.An example of bridging the tradi-

tional with the new is the minimalistdecor that one sees as soon you enterKura Barn. The tables, chairs andbooths are quite simple, but comfort-able. The atmosphere is casual, yetwarm, as evidenced by the greetingyou receive from Ayano or the staff.That warmth and comfort extends

to the cuisine prepared by Yamada.Appetizers like fireworks salad($14), tako yaki (octopus balls withhoisin sauce, $6.50), Tokyo tortilla(salmon, shrimp, avocado, scallionwith wasabi jalapeno sauce on tor-tilla chip, $8.50) and hamachijalapeno (yellowtail sashimi withcucumber and jalapeno with Yuzusauce, $12) are great starters.The fireworks salad, with shrimp,

avocado on top of mixed field greensserved with sesame-jalapeno sauce isgreat for the health-conscious diner.The Tokyo tortilla is quite filling. Ifyou want something unusual butgood, the octopus balls with hoisinsauce is quite delicious. The hamachijalapeno with cucumber, jalapenoand Yuzu sauce has a clean taste, but

the mix of jalapeno and Yuzu sauceraises it another level.If you want an entree that is beau-

tifully presented and filling, theOmakase sushi platter ($35) is theone to have. This entree is one ofYamada’s special dishes that show-cases his creativity. Comprised ofbluefin tuna, maguro (tuna), hamachi(yellowtail), botan ebi (red shrimp),ika (squid), katsuo (bonito sashimi in

a boat), salmon with ikura (salmonroe), eel with avocado wrapped insoy paper and scallop, mango andmasago (roe) with wasabi sauce, thisentree could satisfy any sushi lover.If you want to expand your culi-

nary taste with dessert, the one tochoose is the dora yaki (Japanesepancakes with red bean mochi andgreen tea ice cream, $7.50). The

Kuran Barn was the first Japanese restaurant in Suffolk County when it morphed from a grocerystore in 1981.

The fireworks salad, with shrimp, avocado on top of mixedfield greens served with sesame-jalapeno sauce, is great forthe health-conscious diner.


Japanese pancakes are fluffy andcombined with the red bean fillingcreates a delicate pastry. Addinggreen tea ice cream on top of thepancakes creates a rich, creamydessert.TheYamada’s commitment to pro-

vide their diners with excellent cui-sine and service is part of the reasonthey have lasted for more thandecades.Ayano Yamada’s vision is simple:

“I want my diners to feel like they’redining at their aunt’s or grandmoth-er’s house. I want their experience toremind them of home.”With that in mind, there’s no rea-

son why Kura Barn shouldn’t be

around to wow diners with a“homey” experience for anotherdecade.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Let’s Talk! A Dialogue BetweenThe Generations

By Mindy Wolfle

When it comes toworkplace business meet-ings, the usual reaction is

a combination of dread, annoyanceand a big yawn. Howmany of us haveattended umpteen meetings, only tocome awaywith no greater knowledgeor direction than when we sat down tothe droning of the group leader?An earlier position I held in a na-

tional firm was famous for meetingswhere we had to fly to one of its cen-tral locations, attend a two hour meet-ing and fly back home. Forget aboutthe travel time that was at least fourtimes greater than the meeting itself.In the name of “team building,” theleaders of my group refused to use thevideo conferencing system, where wecould have convened in our own of-fices and then returned to our desks toget some real work done.John Massaro, a CPA and manager

at Incorvaia &Associates, has had hisfill of workplace meetings. When

asked to share an anecdote about theworst meeting he’s ever attended,John’s worst of the worst was a week-ly occurrence. He states, “Every Fri-day morning at 8 a.m. for an hour ormore [a former employer] held a‘scheduling meeting’ to let the officemanager know staffing needs and forthe typing department to knowwhat toexpect in the coming week. Everymanager, supervisor and partner wasexpected to attend, about 30 people inall. They would go around the room,one by one and ask staffing needs,then go around again and ask what fi-nancial statements would be ready fortyping. All this could have been han-dled by a weekly email. What itamounted towas about 30 people eachweek with average billing rates of$225 per hour totaling $351,000 ofwasted time per year. Each person'sparticipation was two to three min-utes, but each person was expected toattend the entire meeting. Every Mon-day a similar meeting for firmmarket-ing was mandatory, another $351,000

wasted.”Leave it to an accountant to assess

the financial damage of these meet-ings.In the words of Adam Wolf, direc-

tor of marketing and business devel-opment forWilkAuslander, a law firmin New York, "Poorly planned meet-ings are a double whammy. They taketime away from doing actual work andyou typically wind up with morework. All too often they are not pro-ductive, because no one is effectivelyleading them, talk goes around in cir-cles and decisions are often not ar-rived at or action items not captured."Adam’s suggested solutions should

be common sense, but sadly, this is notoften the case. “A meeting should al-ways have an agenda, which is sharedwith folks at least a few days in ad-vance. Someone should lead the meet-ing. Folks should show up on time.The time frame for themeeting shouldbe clearly defined in advance; half anhour is ideal; maybe, one hour if thereis a big agenda or major decision has

to be made. A brief recap of the meet-ing with major decisions and actionitems is mandatory: otherwise, whatwas the point of the meeting?”I also checked in with Andrew Ra-

binowitz, sales director at AmericanChristmas Inc. “We have a weeklysales meeting. At these meetings Ithinkwe should domore sales trainingwith some role playing or sharing pos-itive and negative experiences,” Rabi-nowitz said.So there you have it. The perspec-

tives of a financial professional, amar-keting professional and a sales profes-sional. Is anyone listening? Pleaseconsider bringing these comments toyour next workplace meeting ... if youdare.

that showed the district overestimat-ed spending by a total $33.9 millionover a five-year period that endedSept. 30, 2013. In an interview earli-er this month, Thompson said thedistrict’s questioned budgeting prac-tices were in place before she joinedthe board and that she’s since raisedher concerns while working to re-verse effects of the overestimating.On Monday, Thomson said she’d

like to take what she’s learned as aschool board member and use thatknowledge to modernize and reducethe scope of the town’s governmentto make it more effective andstreamlined.Barrett said he believes he could

implement cost-saving measuressimilar to those he’s made as thetown’s deputy director of generalservices, which he said has saved thedepartment over $50,000 per year.Following closely behind taxes

was the topic of affordable housing.“What can the town do, if any-

thing, to create more housing forworking young people… who maketoo much for Section 8 housing, butnot enough for market-rate apart-ments?” asked moderator Lisa Scott,LWV of Suffolk County president.Barrett suggested the town could

look into its foreclosed houses andpartner with private investors to cre-ate legal, two-family homes. Cookagreed with that idea, but reiteratedhe believes taxes must be lowered.Thompson backed a “balanced ap-

proach” that would take into consid-eration factors like traffic, densityand open space before moving for-ward with housing developments.Thompson also said she believeslower taxes would cause rents to“naturally come fall into line with thelower tax rate so that it’s not so diffi-cult for our returning college seniorsto come back to our area and livewithin their means.”

Berland said communities must“accept” housing opportunities forboth young people and seniors, citingMelville’s Ruland Road 117-unithousing development as an example.That development was originallyplanned for affordable one-bedroomunits, but will now be a limited-equi-ty cooperative community followinga housing-discrimination lawsuit set-tlement in February.“A lot of times everybody says that

they want it [workforce housing], butwhen we go in to try and put it into aneighborhood, that’s when people goto eject,” Berland said.On a countywide scale, means to

keep taxpayers in business – whilekeeping them in Suffolk – were alsodiscussed.“Do you have any ideas to lure

small businesses and jobs back to thecounty?” moderator Scott asked.Candidate for Suffolk’s 18th Leg-

islative District, Republican GrantLally, said he believes the conversa-tion begins with lowering taxes.“We are massively overtaxed here

on Long Island and those high rates

of taxation filter through, meaning…businesses need to pass those costs oftaxes on to the consumer [and] every-thing, groceries, restaurant bills,hardware stores, everything is moreexpensive,” he said.Democratic incumbent William

Spencer, Lally’s opponent, said, “Wehave to create an environment forsmall businesses to thrive in.”Spencer added that he believes thecounty has already made efforts tocreate that environment through thecounty’s industrial developmentagency’s Jumpstart program, whichlooks to provide tax breaks and realestate locations for small businesses.In the race for Suffolk’s 17th Leg-

islative District, Democratic incum-bent Louis D’Amaro said a focusneeds to be placed on infrastructure,particularly sewers, in order to handlean influx of new small businesses.Republican Janet Heller-Smitelli,

D’Amaro’s opponent, said she be-lieves the county should further de-velop internship and mentoring pro-grams. “Gone are the days where wego someplace and work nine-to-five.

We have to think outside thoseperimeters,” she said.Along with keeping taxpayers

housed and in business, candidatesalso focused on how the county cankeep them safe.The pair running for Suffolk’s 16th

Legislative District seat, RepublicanThomasMcNally and Democratic in-cumbent Steve Stern, agreed that in-forming and working with youngpeople is where public safety begins.McNally suggested a resurgence of

Suffolk County Police Department’sDrug Abuse Resistance Educationprogram, which was disbanded in2007 due to a lack of effectiveness.“Get into the middle schools and givethem [students] a good example tolive by,” he said.Stern said he’d like to continue

supporting youth-minded programsto “give our children a safe alterna-tive after school,” but added that hewants the county to be aggressivewith treatment and prevention meas-ures in addressing Suffolk’s drugproblem.Election Day is Nov. 3.


Candidates focus on taxes, housing in debate

Pinchuck previously worked in the DiamondExchange in Manhattan for J&H Fryer and thenworked for her brother’s jewelry collection inFlorida.After moving back to NewYork in 2005,Pinchuck decided to open up her own store.Originally from Queens, Pinchuck said she

moved to Northport because she loved the vil-lage’s quaint atmosphere.“It’s like a little gem,” she said. “It really is

spectacular and there’s no place like it. I’m veryfortunate to live and work here.”Pinchuck said that 90 percent of her customers

are local and have been loyal supporters through-out the years.

“I love my customers,” she said. “In a smallbusiness you really have to go above and be-yond.”With a good rapport and a successful Face-

book and Instagram page for the shop, Pinchuckhas shipped merchandise to customers and, attimes, kept the store open for those late-nightshoppers.If the shop is having struggles, Pinchuck said

she’s a fighter and will never give up on the busi-ness.“I love what I do and when people walk in,

they sense it,” she said. “I always say once I getburnt or I’m spent is when it’s over but I don’tthink that’s coming soon.”

A second-floor residence was setablaze at Lincoln Farms Apartmentson 1st Avenue and East 9th Street inHuntington Station on Oct. 19 , withthe Huntington Manor Fire Depart-ment and members of Suffolk PoliceArson Unit responding to an emer-gency call.At 10:22 a.m., Huntington Manor

firefighters arrived at the apartmentcomplex and helped evacuate resi-dents, including a number of seniorcitizens and two handicapped ten-ants.Firefighters inspected all 30 apart-

ments in the three-story building foroccupants.Using six trucks, roughly 35 fire-

fighters were able to control theflames and confine the fire to theroom it originated in before it couldspread to the rest of the building.“We contained the fire to the sec-

ond floor bedroom, which sustainedheavy smoke and water damage tothe interior,” said Huntington ManorFire Chief Frank McQuade .McQuade added that the cause of

the fire was accidental and was start-ed by an elderly tenant who fellasleep with a lit cigarette in hermouth.“She shouldn’t be living by her-

self,” said Lincoln Farms residentNoel Acosta, who also lives on thesecond floor. “She’s an old lady andhas problems with her health. Sheneeds other people to take care ofher.”Acosta said that once he and the

other tenants were evacuated, theyhad to spend close to seven hours inthe street before they could reenterthe building, and that he credits thebuilding’s landlord David Janz formaking everyone as comfortable aspossible during the ordeal.“He went above and beyond to

makes us all feel comfortable,”Acosta said. “He brought us donutsand coffee. He was excellent.”A total of 22 residents were dis-

placed, McQuade said, with thenearby St. Hugh's Church offeringtemporary shelter while residentswaited to return home to their be-longings.The Lincoln Farms landlord said

that he gives a lot of credit to the Red

Cross, who kept his tenants calm andsupplied them with blankets andfood, and had even offered familieswith infants a two-day stay at theMarriott while the building under-goes repairs.Repairs, Janz said, that are all but

completed.“Two families are staying at the

Marriott, and everyone is getting set-tled back in,” said Janz, who addedthat due to the emergency, power tothe building had to be cut, but hassince been restored.

A suspected “ringleader” and two accompliceslinked to altering the schedules and grades of stu-dents at Commack High School earlier this yearwere arrested Oct. 20, Suffolk police said.The three 17 year olds, all Commack High

School seniors, were identified by police as DanielSoares and Erick Vaysman, both of Commack, andAlex Mosquera, of East Northport.Detective Sgt. John Best, commanding officer

of the SCPD’s Computer Crimes Section, saidOct. 20 that Soares was “the ringleader” in theunauthorized breaches to the district’s network,which were first discovered by district officials inJuly. Around 300 students’ schedules werechanged and the grades of two students – Soaresand Vaysman – were altered.District officials said the altered schedules were

fixed before they were distributed to students.After the district learned of the breach, Best said,

the Computer Crimes Section launched an investi-gation that resulted in the Sept. 2 execution of asearch warrant on Soares’ home. Police confirmedthat the warrant was executed the same day thatSoares was reported missing by his family, result-ing in a nearly weeklong search for the teen beforehe returned home Sept. 8.Police uncovered several items, including hard-

ware called a keylogger, which Best said looks like

a flash drive and allowed Soares to “record everystroke of a keyboard while installed on a computer.”Best said that, at least twice, once in May and

again in June, Soares installed the keylogger onCommack school district computers after hours inorder to steal employees’ logins and passwords.Soares was then able to access the district’s networkfrom remote locations and make changes, such asthose made to schedules and grades.Soares was charged with two counts of third-de-

gree burglary, three counts of third-degree comput-er tampering, three counts of second-degree identi-ty theft, one count of computer trespass and onecount of eavesdropping. Best said Soares’ twofelony burglary charges carry a maximum of sevenyears in prison.“A number of students” had knowledge of

Soares’ activity, Best said, including Vaysman andMosquera.Best saidVaysman asked Soares to change one of

his grades, which he did, resulting in Vaysman be-ing charged with one count of third-degree comput-er tampering and one count of fourth-degree crimi-nal solicitation.Mosquera requested, for “an unclear reason,” that

Soares access another Commack student’s schedule,which Best said he did, and resulted in Masquera’scharges of one count of computer trespass and onecount of fourth-degree criminal solicitation.Best said Vaysman and Mosquera each face a

maximum of four years in prison.Soares, Vaysman and Mosquera were processed

at the Fourth Precinct and scheduled to be arraignedat First District Court in Central Islip on Oct. 20.At-torney information for the three teenagers was notimmediately available.“The investigation is continuing,” Best said.

“Right now, we’ve only charged the students whoseactions we felt gave rise to criminal activity.”Anyone with information about this incident is

asked to call Computer Crime Section detectives at631-852-6279 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.A statement posted Tuesday to Commack’s web-

site said, “We will continue to actively seek thosewho breach the District Code of Conduct, and thosewho break the law to ensure the integrity of our da-ta system and to protect those who follow the rules.”The district is also “doing everything possible to

prevent something like this from ever happeningagain.”

For the 13th straight season, theHalf HollowHills High SchoolWest’sboys soccer team has reached Suf-folk’s playoffs.Tuesday, after deadline, a road

matchup with the New York Statechampion Commack Cougars awaitedthe Colts.A season after claiming a share of

the League I title, Commack hadshown signs of vulnerability in 2015as the Cougars were defeated threetimes on their way to second place inthe league and the sixth overall seed inthe Class AA playoffs.As for Hills West (9-3-2), the Colts

narrowlymissed a share of the LeagueIV title this season. They were edgedout by Hauppauge (9-2-3). For theirefforts, Hills West was awarded theNo. 11 seed.To reach the playoffs, the Colts

were led by sophomore forward Dy-lan Chan, who scored eight goals thisseason. Chan led the Colts in scoring

and nearly tripled the output of hisfreshman campaign, when he scoredthree goals.Elsewhere on offense, JohnBehr, a

senior midfielder, provided the mostbalanced effort for the Colts, scoringsix goals and recording six assists thisseason. Behr, with 12 points, edgedChan, with 11 points, as Hills West’spoints leader through the regular sea-son.In net, goalkeeper Hunter Gold-

berg contributed to five shutouts forthe Colts this season.Hills West’s head coach is Doug

Gannon. He could not be reached be-fore deadline.In the matchup against Commack

on Tuesday, the Colts likely wanted tobounce back from a costly 1-1 drawwithWest Babylon on Oct. 21. The re-sult ultimately cost Hills West theLeague IV title. In the two games pri-or, however, Hills West grinded outtwo wins, one against Deer Park andanother against Bellport, to bounceback from a mid-season skid in whichthe team lost three straight league

games.If Hills West defeated Commack

Tuesday, the Colts will be in actiononce again on Friday in the quarterfi-nals. That game would be against thewinner of No. 3 SmithtownWest (12-

1-1) andNo. 14 East Islip (9-5), whichwas also played on Tuesday. Thegame Friday would be played atwhichever school is the higher seed.To follow along with the bracket,
