The developer proposing a 160-room, four-story Hyatt Place hotel inMelville is requesting that the Hunt-ington Town Board once again delaya decision to rezone the propertywhile it continues speaking withneighbors opposed to the hotel.
During its meeting Tuesday, thetown board was scheduled to vote todelay ruling on a proposed I-1 LightIndustrial to C-10 Planned MotelDistrict zone change, which wouldbe necessary for the plan to moveforward to the town’s zoning board.The board delayed ruling on the zonechange during the July 14 meetingdue to emerging opposition of theplan from neighbors of the propertyat 500 Broadhollow Road.
“We’re hoping that the board will
approve another extension,” attorneyWilliam Bonesso, representing ap-plicant OTO Development, saidMonday.
In the meantime, Bonesso said hisclient continues to talk with neigh-bors, including the owner of RubieCorporate Plaza, which is locatedimmediately north of the proposal’s3-acre plot. Bonesso said that hisclient hopes to “accommodate” Ru-bie Corporate Plaza’s owner, Broad-hollow Associates LLC, in hopes of“doing away with opposition.”
First, Bonesso said, his client hasproposed to flip the building so thatits main entrance would be facingRubie’s property. “We think it’s amore attractive appearance,” he said.

Rubie’s, Now In Retail, Readies For Halloween MELVILLE
Before Rubie’s Costume Co. be-came a multi-million-dollar costumeindustry juggernaut, with wholesaleoperations reaching 14 countries andemploying more than 3,000 workersworldwide, the brand had muchmore humble beginnings.The business gots its start as Ru-
bie's Candy Store in 1951 underTillie and Rubin Beige. The coupleventured into marketing and sellingnovelties, and with Halloween be-coming increasingly popular inAmerican culture, the brand explod-ed with the addition of Halloweencostumes to its inventory.In 1972, Rubin died, and with his
mother widowed, son Marc Beigetook over the family business forwhat he thought was going to be on-ly a short period of time.“The idea was to run it for a year
or so and then go back to teachingand I never did go back to teaching.Sometimes I wish I had, but it’s beena very interesting road to travel,”Beige said.With a flagship retail location in
Richmond, Queens, Beige hasbranched out, opening two addition-al Long Island stores in Westburyand Melville, both of whichlaunched within the past year.“It’s usually a good idea to have a
retail store, because this way you get
first-hand exposure from the cus-tomers, you get the feedback andcomments as far as what they like,and more importantly, what theydon’t like,” Beige said. “It allows usto design products that will be suc-cessful in the market, and we bring
those products to our retail stores.”At the Rubie’s Melville store, two
contractors worked on a welding jobon the roof of the building, readyingthe outside of the storefront for theHalloween rush.The inside of the store is filled
with costumes for infants, teens andadults. Colorful and creepy masksline the far wall by the store’s en-tranceway with life-size props ofStar Wars characters, along withMarvel and DC Comics superheroeslike, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Batmanand the Joker.Beside a true-to-scale replica of
Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman, fouroffice co-workers laugh at the sightof some of the props, before contin-uing to wade through the large vari-ety of superhero costumes litteredaround them. One of them, Darlene Gladstone,
36, is a first-time shopper at Rubie’s.She and her colleagues are searchingfor costumes to wear at their officethe Friday before Halloween.“We went through a couple of op-
tions and sent out an email with abunch of costume ideas,” Gladstone
A giant Hulk statue greets customers who enter the front door of Rubie’s Cos-tume Company in Melville at 540 Broadhollow Road.

Election Day approaches... I decided totake advantage of the free fares the Town ofHuntington offered this week on its HuntingtonArea Rapid Transit bus system and was hit withan important reminder in an adby the Suffolk County Leagueof Women’s Voters: Local elec-tions are coming up on Nov. 3.In fact, you’ll get a chance to get to know thecandidates running for office in Huntington at aHuntington League of Women’s Voters “Meetthe Candidates” night on Oct. 26 starting at 6:30p.m. at the Harborfields Library, 31 Broadwayin Greenlawn.

Istarting last week by blaring my air condition-ing throughout my home and went to shiveringmy tookus off, wearing my winter robe andfuzzy wool slippers. If it wasn’t for HurricaneJoaquin, the storm that happily skirted LongIsland, I’m sure the transition into fall weatherwould have been slower for us this year. Withthe tip of my nose as cold as ice from thisweekend, I got my heater out and my sweaterstucked neatly into my drawers, ready to em-brace the cold, only to find out that the fore-
cast for this week will be in the low 70s. Curseyou, Mother Nature!
Waiting til the end...Aswe wait for Waldbaum’s to fi-nally meet its demise before itmakes way for a Stop & Stopon Wall Street in Huntington,have you noticed that aisleskeep creepily compressing,
with fewer and fewer products available? Thesupermarket touts “up to 50 percent off” as ithopes to gets as much stuff off its hands as pos-sible. I’m not biting until the last minute, how-ever, because the sales are usually closer to 10percent than 50 percent. I can can get that kindof deal with the click of a little computer mouse.

Colleges Need To SyncStudent Skills WithEmployer Demands
DEAR EDITOR:Many of today’s college
students are stunningly ill-prepared for the professionalworld. What’s worse, theydon’t even realize it.A new survey from the As-
sociation of American Col-leges and Universities findsthat about 70 percent of col-lege students think they pos-sess the critical thinking skillsneeded to succeed in theworkplace. But less than athird of employers think re-cent college grads are readyfor the real world.
There’s good reason for thisdivide. Employers increasing-ly value skills that often aren’ttaught on the average collegecampus. And most studentsare completely unaware ofemployer demands becausethey don’t plan for life outsidethe academic bubble.Colleges need to repair
this disconnect. Faculty andadministrators must ensurestudents develop the apti-tudes that can actually securethem long-term, satisfyingemployment.Consider skills like team-
work and collaboration.While 60 percent of collegestudents think they excel here,just 40 percent of employersagree. When it comes to the
quality and speed of their de-cision-making, student confi-dence is double that of em-ployers’.At the same time, many
employers have stopped as-sessing academic achieve-ments alone. Indeed, only 2percent of employers considerGPA the most important fac-tor when evaluating job appli-cations, according to a surveyfrom the research firmMillen-nial Branding.These discrepancies are ex-
acerbated because many stu-dents don’t take advantage ofthe opportunities provided byschool administrators to ac-quire professional skills.Fortunately, there are
ways to improve student ca-
reer readiness.First, colleges can adjust
their curricula to better sim-ulate real-world workingconditions. Most jobs don’trequire the sort of sustained,independent work it takes tofinish a paper; collaborationis common. That’s why Pur-due University lends someof its business students outto local small businesses toact as consultants. Profes-sors in all academic pro-grams should look for simi-lar opportunities.Leadership matters, too.
Only micro-managers pro-vide employees with minute-by-minute orders. Often,workers are expected toidentify employer needs,adapt accordingly and guidecolleagues when appropri-ate. Given that, AmericanUniversity has launched apublic affairs leadership pro-gram, which challenges stu-dents to identify a social illand try to resolve it.Career-service programs al-
so have an important role inprepping students for life aftercollege. Administratorsshould focus on increasing thenumber of internships avail-able, expanding the variety ofparticipating employers, andallowing students to accruecredit from part-time profes-sional opportunities.Notably, Alma College in
Michigan has installed a ca-reers services program thatprovides students $2,500grants toward off-campusinternships, fellowships, or
research.Here at NewYork Institute
of Technology, we provideextensive professional devel-opment opportunities. Theskills our students acquiretranslate into real job oppor-tunities. Fully 87 percent ofour graduates are employedin their chosen field withinsix months of commence-ment. Nationally, only 55percent of college grads se-cure full-time jobs before thesix-month mark.Most recently, we started an
urban administration coursethat introduces students to theinner-workings of city gov-ernments and non-profitsthrough traditional classroominstruction – and then empow-ers them participate first-handwith a community serviceproject. This program isn’tsimply aimed at exposing stu-dents to these fields. It alsocultivates the problem-solvingskills employers demand.American institutions of
higher education must nar-row the gap between whatthe average student learnsand what the average em-ployer demands. If not, fu-ture generations of graduateswill find themselves lockedout of the job market and de-prived of the chance to findfulfilling work..

At the end of an emotional roller-coaster at the JohnW. Engeman The-ater in Northport on Thursday, theaudience rose to provide a standingovation for the performers of “WestSide Story.”The rendition of Arthur Laurents’
famous American musical was drip-ping with eloquence, as the youngcast commanded the stage, drawingout laughter and tears from the audi-ence.Directed by Igor Goldin, the ap-
pearance of “West Side Story,” host-ed at 250 Main St., was the theater’s50th production, said Season TicketManager Jackie Polden.Opening the show with a dance
number, Jeffry Denman’s choreogra-phy was captivating, as membersfrom the Jets and Sharks gangsjumped in the air at one another toportray their hatred for each other.When the leader of the Jets, Riff
(Sam Wolf) and the leader of theSharks, Bernardo (Nikko Kimzin),entered the stage and come face toface, the intensity thickens, as theirstrong demeanors and stern expres-sions clash at the sight of each other.The dramatic undertone that dic-
tated the energy of the show was leadby musical director, James Olm-stead, whose live orchestra remainedhidden underneath the stagethroughout play.Set in New York City in 1957,
“West Side Story” tells a story abouthate, love, crime, fear and violence.In the midst of the chaos between theSharks, a Puerto Rican gang, and theJets, a white gang, ignites a romancebetween Barnardo’s sister, Maria(Samantha Williams), and formerJet, Tony (Zach Trimmer).Their love begins during an ener-
getic dance scene, “Dance at theGym,” where the Jets and the Sharksface off in a dance competition, in-fused with ballet and salsa. Williamsand Trimmer lock eyes amongst thechaos and become a calming centerfor the audience.In their songs with one another,
including “Tonight,” “One HandOne Heart” and “Somewhere,”Williams, a Huntington resident,
and Trimmer, deliver a heartfelt per-formance and, while Williams re-leases an operetta form of voice andTrimmer produces a soft vibrato,their voices remain in sync.Other memorable performances
were by Karli Dinardo, Anita,whose bold presence shined wildlyon stage, during the “America”number and the emotional duo withWilliams, “A Boy Like That/I Havea Love.”
The show also gave the audience agood laugh in the “Gee, OfficerKrupke performance,“ sung by thewide-eyed, hothead of the Jets, Ac-tion (Scott Shedenhelm).Parallel to William Shakespeare’s
Romeo and Juliet, the final scenebrought watchers to tears, as Mariadelivers a heartbreaking perform-ance as the girl who loved and lost.When asked about playing the
lead, Williams, said that it was
thrilling.“This show could never get old for
the people performing it,” saidWilliams, 25. “It’s just a timelesspiece that everyone loves.”John W. Engeman Theater will be
hosting West Side Story until Nov.8. Shows are between Thursdaysand Sundays and tickets range from$69-$74.For more information visit

Blending pop, folk and worldmusic together while adhering tothe Celtic form of syncopation andinstrumentation, Canadian nativeLoreena McKennitt has toured theworld bringing her unique sound toconcertgoers looking for a touch ofsomething different.With 14 million albums sold
worldwide, McKennitt’s recordingshave achieved gold, platinum andmulti-platinum status in 15 coun-tries spread over four continents.Since beginning her career three
decades ago, the 58-year-old singer-songwriter has since been nominat-ed for a Grammy Award, and haswon two Junos and a Billboard In-ternational Achievement Award.While she’s received notable
recognition and industry nods forher large body of work, McKennittsays that she doesn’t let notorietyimpede on continuing to do what sheloves doing most: making music.“I studied piano from the age of 5
and I was part of a children’s choirfrom that age. So I always was en-gaged in music,” McKennitt said. “I
knew I would wonder how far Iwould go in music as I got older.”While attending the University of
Manitoba in Canada, she put herplans of studying agriculture onhold to explore and pursue the arts,with music and live performing tak-ing center stage.“When I think back now on how
slender these opportunities wereand to abandon one’s formal educa-tion in pursuit of them is reallyquite remarkable,” McKennitt said.She added, “As long as the quali-
ty of my work continued to moveand improve and I felt that therewas promise that I would actuallybe able to sustain myself, I wouldcontinue on pursuing music.”McKennitt’s performances during
her U.S. and Canadian tour this fallare a departure from the multi-in-strumental and instead focus on thecollaborative spirit of just three mu-sicians, including McKennitt herself.Joining her onstage are Brian
Hughes and Caroline Lavelle, whowill help to create an atmosphericshow featuring music and tales in-spired by McKinnitt’s travels inpursuit of the history of the Celts.If you want to experience an inti-
mate night of Celtic folk, come seeLoreena McKennitt live. Tickets canbe purchased at the box office orfrom paramountny.com starting at$49.50. Doors open at 7 p.m. Oct. 18.

In past articles Iwrote about vesselswhose names are as-sociated with nauti-cal lore that has be-come rooted in our
collective maritime memory. Mostof these events relate to wartimemoments, famous disasters, glori-ous racing victories, or great ex-plorations. Some vessels have be-come famous for their design char-acteristics, which have expandedthe possibilities for commercialand pleasure-boating activities.Unfortunately, the very qualities
that gave fame to their successhave, in recent decades, beensought for more nefarious activi-ties. The work of the U.S. Coast
Guard often involves probing intoillegal activities by individuals whoutilize boats that previously wereowned by well known and admiredpersons, especially popular highperformance speed boats. Thesewere used by drug deal-ers to bring co-caine and otherillegal sub-stances intothe UnitedStates ande l s e w h e r e ,casting a shadowon the names of highperformance classes of boats.I recently read an interesting re-
port about the forfeiture of a smallracing sailboat that was used fordrug trafficking, which, in its pri-or life had happily won races for
two young dedicated sailors.In fall 2005, federal agents
seized this sailboat, stating that thecurrent owner had purchased thevessel with proceeds derived fromillegal sale of marijuana. The own-
er was living in Floridaand was involved
in large scaledrug distri-bution ac-t i v i t i e salong the
East Coast.The boat, a
22-foot Star classsloop named “Flash II,” was
built in 1930 and was originallypurchased by John Kennedy and hisbrother, Joseph, in 1934. The orig-inal name of the boat was “Jubilee”but was changed by the Kennedy
brothers to “Flash II” because itwas their second Star class sailboat.In addition to competing in the
Atlantic Coast ChampionshipRace, John sailed the sloop to vic-tory two years later in the HarvardMcMillan Cup Race held at An-napolis, Maryland. John Kennedysold the boat in 1942 just beforehe shipped out to the Pacific dur-ing World War II.How sad that a championship
class racing sailboat formerlyowned and raced to victory by oneof our beloved presidents had be-come enslaved as a carrier of ille-gal drugs. More power to theCoast Guard for its constant vigi-lance. May “Flash II” some dayregain its fame as a source of joyand challenge to a new generationof young, inspired athletes.

Coming on the heels of star NewYork Giants wide receiver OdellBeckham Jr. joining Huntington-based Roar Beverages as a nationalcompany spokesperson, the compa-ny released last week its first prod-uct in a planned series of sportsdrinks through the partnership.Roar says OBJXIII is an all-nat-
ural coconut water-based sportsdrink that melds strawberry andwatermelon flavoring with a mix ofB-Vitamins and electrolytes. Thebeverage was made available forpurchase on Roar’s website(drinkroar.com) Sept. 22.“This has truly been an unbeliev-
able experience and I am blessed tohave had the opportunity to workwith the people at ROAR Bever-ages,” Beckham Jr. said in a pressrelease. “To see your vision cometo life and know that the product isgoing to benefit the next generation

16 NFL season, Beckham Jr. leadsthe Giants (2-2) in receiving yards(307) and is tied with fellow re-ceiver Rueben Randle for totaltouchdowns (2).But, as productive as Beckham
Jr. has been on the field, Roar CEORoly Nesi said OBJXIII encom-passes more than just the receiver’sathletic prowess.“We have worked with Odell to

Since the Brigati family started farming on LongIsland in 1886, they moved twice before settled at250 Old Country Road in Melville in 1932.The farm was commonly known as the Brigati
farm, but as business grew, they gave it an officialname -- identifying it with the white fences thatstood at the front entrance: White Post.Owning the 30-acre farm with his twin brother
Rich and older brother Ron, 49, RobBrigati, 44, saidthe fourth-generation farmers were brought up intothe agricultural life and worked very hard, alongwith their sister, Kim, 47.Although Rich and Ron first started on different
career paths before returning to the farm, RobBrigati went straight into the family business at 17years old. Now, Brigati, who resides in Melville,runs its market and garden center.The farm began selling plants and flowers in
1965, then added pies and breads in 1981.Brigati expanded the market from one aisle of
fruits and vegetables to now include catering, asushi chef, homemade soups, cookies, preservatives,fresh-baked breads, pies and more.Offering more than 30 varieties of breads, White
Post began selling its pastries online.“Traditional flavors seem to never fade,” Brigati
said, referring to popular pie flavors such as pump-kin, coconut and blueberry cream. In April, WhitePost took first place for both best apple crumb pie
and best pecan pie in the American Pie Council’sNational Pie Championship.However, the market isn’t the only slice of White
Post’s business “pizza pie” that keeps customerscoming back.Starting with the introduction of Billy the Goat in
1989, White Post began to develop an animal farm.It hosted its first farm festival in 1991 and then start-ed with kids birthday parties in 1993.
These attractions, what Brigati calls agritourism,is what has kept the farm in business for decades.“We are the pioneers,” Brigati said, about being
the first farm on the Island to have a fall festival. Al-though some farmers had hayrides and a selection ofpumpkins that customers payed for, White Post be-gan charging for entertainment.Other services that White Post offers includes
hosting field trips. “The educational field trips arehuge here,” Brigati said, adding that children’s sens-es come to life when they are surrounded by the at-mosphere of the animal farm.Brigati said this is only the beginning for the farm,
and he wants to continue expanding.“We’re going to put a big kitchen in, and I envi-
sion us being a manufacturing farm stand, wherewe’re making everything here,” he said. “That’s thenext level, that is the future of farming [and] we’reonly scratching the surface with what we can do.”

Diversification doesnot mean having fivelarge cap value stocks
or 10 small cap stocks in your port-folio. Diversification is spreadingyour investments over many assetclasses. Diversification alwaysmakes sense. Markets go up and mar-kets go down. That is what they do.Spreading money over several kindsof investments may help you achievegrowth throughout market cycles andmitigate the effects of market swingsshort term and long term.No asset class is the top performer
all the time. The best performing as-set classes change dramatically fromyear to year. In 2006, real estate in-vestment trusts, or REITs, were thetop performer and in 2007 they wereat the bottom. In 2007, foreign stocksperformed best, and in 2008, theywere at the bottom in performance.In 2008, investment-grade bonds
were the best performers, followedby high-yield bonds the next year andsmall-growth stocks in 2010 and in-vestment-grade bonds again in 2011.The point is, broad diversification
gives you a better chance of achiev-ing your long-term goals.When markets are especially
strong or weak, diversification some-how doesn’t seem quite as important.Until it changes, and hindsight re-minds us it wouldbe smart to diversi-fy.Failing to diver-
sify properly canmean not only los-ing money when asegment deterio-rates, but also los-ing out when it im-proves.The concept of diversification is
that investors can improve their risk-return profile by investing in multi-ple investments verse concentrationthe balance in a single investment.
During the last bull market, many in-vestors assumed that diversificationwould sacrifice performance. Now,amid economic uncertainty and avolatile market, many investors areafraid to take cash off the sidelines.Simply put, investors act on emo-
tion. This can cause them to abandontheir long-term financial plans–shortselling, chasing returns and makinglump-sum transactions.
The simplest rea-son for diversifyingyour portfolio is thatno one can success-fully predict marketcycles. If they saythey can, they are ly-ing. Occasionally,they are right shortterm, like a broker
clock is right twice a day!Over the past 20 years, the top per-
forming asset classes have movedbetween U.S. bonds, U.S. Stocks,REITs and foreign stocks. It is pos-

This Weekend: 22nd AnnualLong Island Fall Festival
By Peter Klein
Inter-generationalplanning for familiesis an important func-tion of the proactivefinancial advisor—
insuring that the next generation (andthe one after that) is efficiently set upand has a wealth management plan tohelp them navigate volatile markets.This is true fiduciary-minded wealthmanagement—acting as the family’strusted advisor, stewarding the fami-ly’s assets over a long period.But how does an advisor get to that
position? How do they bring it up?Well, one way is to discuss, with
the family, the things that make themtick. There may be a daughter who isenvironmentally focused and, assuch, is looking for investments thatscreen well under a socially con-scious lens. Stocks which do not addto the carbon footprint but assist inits mitigation could certainly be in-teresting. Perhaps a son is in themedical field and is interested in thecutting-edge technologies in geneticsor healthcare management in gener-
al. An advisor needs to understandthe children and help them plan ac-cordingly. It’s good for them, goodfor the parents, and of course goodfor the advisor-client relationship.One of the best ways that I have
found to open discussions with thechildren (and grandchildren) of myclients is though their philanthropicareas of interest. This speaks to theheart of being a “Legacy Agent”—focusing on helping clients devel-oped legacies that they can be proudof for generations to come. So in thisinstance we can discuss with the en-tire family—parents, kids and grand-kids—how they see their legacy.What is their family’s philanthropicmission going forward?Now this is sure to open a flood of
responses—some very unexpectedand so its important that this kind ofdiscussion is done in a “non-busi-ness” atmosphere (maybe a familyvacation home or a family retreat)where true feelings can be heard.Consider all the good that comesfrom this—children making a differ-ence with family wealth, parents be-

A photograph of my fatheron a boardwalk, beach and ocean to his right.He wears slacks and a white shirt.Wind whips his dark hair.He is smiling, butnot quite at the camera.
I remember the moment,him standing there, waiting for my motheralways slow with the clickto snap the photo.I remember his gaze shiftingto me, five years old, at my mother’s side.I remember the smile,not for the camera, not at all for the camera.I remember smiling back at him.
The photograph is timeless,nothing there to date it.No cars, no women’s fashions.Just sea and sand, a boardwalk and a mansmiling at mefor eternity.

Steamboat Taken Out By Storm(Oct. 13, 1843)A torrential downpour persisted for two days and managed to put a steamboatbound for Stonington, Connecticut, out of commission. The steam pipes on theMassachusetts burst during the storm, leaving it stuck Huntington. Passengersinstead took the Narragansett to Stonington.
A Good Haul(Oct. 11, 1850)Charles C. Tappan and two other men of Huntington village caught over 160blackfish, some weighing nearly 4 pounds, at Webb’s Reef off Eaton’s Neck. It’s“rather unusual fishing for these waters,” a Long-Islander report said.
Poisoning The Well(Oct. 11, 1850)Townsend B. Pettit Esq. and his family were the near victims of a clumsy poi-soning scheme. Upon drawing water, Pettit discovered a large quantity of whitepowder scattered in the well. Tests revealed the powder to be arsenic.

ing an estimated 69 feet between thebuilding and Rubie’s property.Bonesso said his client has also of-
fered to eliminate plans of a vehicu-lar pass-through from the proposedhotel to the Rubie’s property. Thiswould help ensure guests of the ho-tel do not use Rubie’s parkingspaces.OTO has also proposed to shift the
curb cut into the property so thattraffic may flow more efficiently and
to create more parking spaces,Bonesso said.“We’re waiting to hear back from
them on some of the concessionswe’ve agreed to make,” Bonessoadded.Marc P. Beige, a member of
Broadhollow Associates, said he isstill “concerned” about the size ofthe proposal, which he said couldsap parking from Rubie CorporatePlaza.“Where we have adequate parking
at 400 Broadhollow Road, we don’thave an overabundance of parkingthat can be used by the hotel,” Beigesaid.Further opposition has emerged
from other neighbors, but Bonessosaid those parties do not have “spe-cific objects.” Instead, they feel theproposal is “not appropriate” for thearea – a stance that CouncilmanMark Cuthbertson has taken in thepast. Councilwomen Susan Berlandand Tracey Edwards have voiced
their support for the project.Protest petitions were filed by
Alan Katz, a member of Sherwood510 LLC, owner of property at 510Broadhollow Road and Jan Burman,president of LBA Melville Associ-ates, which owns property neighbor-ing the Rubie Corporate Plaza on theSouth Service RoadSince the petitions we validated by
the town’s planning department, afour-vote supermajority would be re-quired to approve a zone change.

History shows that if you adhereto time-tested basics like diversi-fication, you may be poised to en-joy returns throughout market cy-cles. Here are some other basicsyou should keep in mind. Don’tget caught chasing returns, take along-term approach, and benefitfrom dollar-cost averaging.
Do you have the desire, inclina-tion and skills to create a well-di-versified portfolio on your own?You may want to consult a Certi-fied Financial Planner withproven money management expe-rience to help you understandyour investment objectives andplan a strategy to reach them.
The importance of diversification
said. “At first we were going to gowith mimes, but then we saw thesesuperhero suits, and I think we’vechanged our minds.”Asked about her impression of the
store, Gladstone said, “It’s reallycool. There’s a lot of stuff here and itseems perfect if you’re shopping forHalloween.”While Halloween is a profitable
time for Rubie’s, it’s the holidays ob-served outside the country that are abig boon to business, Beige said.
“It’s interesting that inEurope, depending on what countryyou’re talking about, the bigger hol-iday is usually Carnival and not Hal-loween,” Beige said. “That usuallycomes in February or March. Hal-loween is growing there, but still inmost of those countries the biggerholiday would be the Carnival.”Beige admits that he and his broth-
er Howard were surprised at just howmuch their company has grown sincethey were kids in the ‘60s watchingmom and dad at work in the tiny
store that started it all.Now the company’s future looks
brighter still with Marc, Howard,and their sister, passing the torch onto their children.“I think we’re going to continue
growing in the wholesale and designend,” Beige said. “The retail storeshave a very good place because itgives you direct knowledge from theconsumer, and you understand whatthey want and why they want it. Thisis an important relationship and onethat makes a company a success.”
