Huntington’s Town Board onTuesday was expected to give a de-veloper seeking to build a new hotelin Melville 90 more days to hash outdifferences with neighbors opposedto the plan before voting on a neces-sary zone change, officials said.
Attorney William Bonesso, rep-resenting applicant OTO Develop-ment, said his client has “madesome proposed modifications”aimed at easing the criticisms lev-eled by the owners of Rubie Corpo-rate Plaza, located next door at theintersection of Route 110 and theLong Island Expressway serviceroad, and others.
“We’re trying to work out anagreement with him, and the town
board is giving us time to do that,”Bonesso said Monday.
Plans call for a 160-room, four-story Hyatt Place hotel to be builton 3 acres at 500 BroadhollowRoad in Melville, located on thewestern side of Route 110 justsouth of the Rubie Corporate Plazaand the LIE. If a zone change fromI-1 Light Industrial to C-10Planned Motel District is awardedby the Huntington Town Board,OTO Development can proceed tothe zoning board of appeals forvariances.
Neighboring property ownershave objected, arguing the proposaloverdevelops the parcel and createsdangerous traffic conditions by of-fering only southbound ingress andegress onto Route 110.
After decades of wrestling withthe issue, the Town of Huntingtonis within weeks of seeking plansfrom private developers to build asmany as two parking structures indowntown Huntington village, atop figure on the town’s Hunting-ton village parking consortiumsaid.
The move could add up to 350spaces to the area.
The request for proposals wouldseek “private developers who wantto come in, build a garage, possibly

The Town of Huntington has beenawarded a $100,000 state grant toevaluate the possibility of adding amicrogrid system to provide electri-cal and thermal energy to town hall,Huntington Hospital, the Hunting-ton Wastewater Treatment Plant andother key buildings during emergen-cies.Town officials are expected to ex-
plore adding a microgrid that wouldutilize methane- and natural gas-fired generation, with waste heat re-covery, solar power and energy stor-age technologies. Microgrids are en-
ergy systems that, in the event of apower outage, can stand alone andoperate independently of the maingrid.In a New York State Energy Re-

What do you get someone… for a 95thbirthday? Lovely problem to have, isn’t it?Well, the Heckscher Museum of Art celebratedtheir big 9-5 this weekend withfree admission and cupcakes, acommunity Lego build and car-icatures on Sunday. Make sureto take advantage of this little gem in yourbackyard all summer long as they continue tocelebrate a significant milestone.

You go, girl… Who’s that raising a ruckus foretiquette? Hometown gal Patti LuPone, the greatBroadway diva, that’s who! You might haveheard that recently, she’s been making somewaves in the fight against rotten theater man-ners. The Northport native recently employed abit of sleight of hand to snag the cell phone of arude near-the-front patron who was texting allthe way through the first act of her current play,“Shows for Days.” To do it, she decided to turna portion of her performance, in which she inter-acts with the audience, into a bit of a “bountyhunting” mission. She shook the woman’s hand,and, as she tells it, used the other hand to un-loose the phone from the woman’s hand, walkedoff stage to end the act and handed the phone tothe stage manager. Good for Patti for very clev-erly enforcing theater decorum. As an aside, can
you imagine the conversation that must havebeen had to get that phoneback?
A gentle ringy-dingy… Ireally like these new trafficcontrol signals at the corner ofWall and Gerard streets by ouroffice in the village. Instead of
that harsh beep, it’s a gentle ring, like a scannerat a supermarket checkout. It’s nearly music tomy ears, and I’m sure it’s going to make for alittle bit quieter atmosphere in Huntington vil-lage. Now to get the walking man to tell thetruth a little more often and we’ll be golden.
Bully! I’m penciling in a trip to SagamoreHill, former president Theodore Roosevelt’s“summer White House” reopened for visitorsthis Sunday after a three-plus-year $10 millionrenovation.

Frustrated AndDisappointed
TO THE EDITOR:Following the conclusion of
the 2015 legislative session,my Assembly minority col-
leagues and I are returning toour districts with a heightenedsense of frustration and disap-pointment. Although therewere many meaningful andbeneficial reforms supportedand ultimately passed by the
minority conference, this ses-sion was tainted by controver-sy caused by the betrayal ofpublic trust from scandal-rid-den members of Assemblyleadership. These actions, un-fortunately, will cause the
people of New York to re-member the 2015 legislativesession for the wrongdoingsof a few, as opposed to the ac-complishments of theAssem-bly as a whole.The distractions mentioned
above, coupled with a perpet-ual one-party legislativeagenda, caused some verymeaningful legislation to beignored this year. While I amdissatisfied with much ofwhat was left out of this ses-sion, I am also hopeful thatnext year we can shed lighton these many neglected is-sues, such as:Passing Comprehensive
Ethics Reform. New YorkState must reform its ethicscode to regain the publictrust.Increasing Tuition Assis-
tance Programs. As the rank-ing member on theAssemblyCommittee on Higher Educa-tion and a college professor, I
know that college affordabil-ity is an extremely importantissue in our communities.Delaying, reforming and
releasing all Common Coretests.Voting in the Assembly on
mixed martial arts.Putting an end to unfunded
mandates.When we reconvene next
year, it is my hope that we ad-dress these important mat-ters. It is my responsibility torepresent my constituents,the thousands of local busi-nesses in the 10th AssemblyDistrict and the millions re-siding on Long Island whilein Albany. We must set ahigher standard for the peo-ple of NewYork State.

Opinion‘Not the types set up by the printer return their impression, the meaning, the main concern.’
Like any successful downtown, Hunt-ington village struggles with a parkingcrunch. With unparalleled dining and en-tertainment offerings, the village is a des-tination, drawing visitors from across theIsland. Providing places for those visitorsto park is becoming a bigger issue everyday.Over the past several decades, the town
and business organizationssuch as the village’s businessimprovement district andHuntington Township Chamber of Com-merce have made serious efforts that atbest have chipped away at the problem.The town added additional parkingthrough land acquisitions and imple-mented some of the recommendations ofa parking study that have improved day-time parking conditions, but a long-termsolution has remained elusive.Nearly 30 years ago, the business com-
munity saw the need for a parking struc-ture that would not just chip at the short-age, but create hundreds of new spaces –enough to sustain continued growth. Butpublic opposition was too strong and aproposed garage on the New Street park-ing lot never got past the design stage.More than 10 years later, a plan was ad-
vanced by the business improvement dis-trict to build parking decks into the hill-side at the top of the existing municipallots on Elm Street. That plan likewisenever got past the design phase, primari-ly because of the cost.Fast forward another decade and the
village is again in a situation where thelack of parking is having a negative im-
pact on the business community. TheParamount is drawing thousands of visi-tors a week, and a well-earned reputationas the dining capital of Long Islandmakes Huntington village a destination.The addition of numerous downtownapartment units – most tapping municipalparking lots to satisfy parking require-ments – is just adding to the crisis.
The good news is that thetown board this week was ex-pected to approve the $1.6-
million purchase of an existing, unusedparking lot adjacent to the former A.G.Edwards building next to the New Streetparking lot. That will add about 65 spacesto the inventory. But more are needed.Toward that end, the town is looking tosee what the private sector can do. A re-quest for proposals expected to go outwithin the next few weeks will ask devel-opers for ideas. Town officials say thestate’s 2 percent tax cap leaves no roomfor a publicly funded project, so a public-private partnership is being sought.The need for more parking is well es-
tablished, and with even more apartmentscoming on line, the continued prosperityof the downtown business district re-quires new spaces. Any proposals willhave to satisfy the needs of the businesscommunity as well as the public, whilegenerating profit for the developer.The town is opening the door for a pos-
sible solution and should be commended.At the same time we remind them thatpublic support is crucial. The processmust be transparent, and the public mustbe kept informed.

Having trouble wishing your fa-vorite neighborhood museum a happy95th birthday? One way to say “hap-py birthday” is to do it with Legos –lots and lots of Legos.Lego artist David Haliski did just
that, unveiling his miniatureHeckscher Museum built of the littletoy blocks this weekend.Work on the artistic tribute began
last year at a museum workshop lastyear with a number of children andadults,” said Haliski, of Laurel Hol-low.The end product includes about
5,000 Lego bricks, strategicallyplaced Lego people patrons and evenworking electricity for the lamppostsand some of the windows.A digital designer by trade with a
background in fine arts and graphicdesign, Haliski first became interest-ed in Legos as a youngster.“It kind of sparked everything. I
work with pixels on a daily basis, so,for me, it was a natural translation in-to Lego and the colors of Lego,” hesaid.Kristina Schaaf, associate director
of education and coordinator of digi-tal content for the Heckscher Muse-um of Art, said the Lego display was
part of a special weekend featuringfree admission; Baked by Melissacupcakes and a color-a-cupcake sta-tion for the museum’s 95th anniver-sary tower. Caricature artist MartyMacaluso drew on Sunday.The museum has its earlier roots in
America’s Gilded Age.German-American industrialist and
developer August Heckscher openedthe museum and park in 1920. Oper-ated by a private foundation, the mu-seum presented works by old masterssuch as Lucas Cranach, François Gi-rardon and Henry Raeburn, as well asimportant American painters like Ed-ward and Thomas Moran, Ralph Al-bert Blacklock and George Inness.For a decade, the museum enjoyed
a charmed existence. The situationchanged dramatically with the crashof the stock market in 1929 and theGreat Depression. The foundationgoverning the museum was no longerable to operate the museum, so thecollection remained static and was ac-cessible on a very limited basis.Efforts in the 1940s of concerned
citizens, including local art teachersand members of the HuntingtonTownship Art League (now the ArtLeague of Long Island), with someassistance from the Town of Hunting-ton, resulted in the reopening of themuseum to the public. In 1954, own-
ership of the institution passed to theTown of Huntington. Three years lat-er, the town delegated operations forthe museum to a newly formed, non-profit corporation.Today the Heckscher Museum con-
tinues to pursue four major areas –
education and public programs, col-lections, and exhibitions. With the95th year celebration winding down,another milestone is on the horizon.“We are gearing up for our 100th
anniversary in 2020,” Schaaf said.“It’s right around. It’s very exciting.”

Tim Hess is feeling summer’sgood vibrations at his ShipwreckDiner in Northport Village. BeingZagat rated for the first time will dothat for a guy, it seems.The irony that one of Northport’s
most famous greasy spoons is fea-tured in the 2015 edition of the din-ing world’s most prestigious publica-tion is not lost on Hess, who’s hadthe diner in his family for nearly 50years now. His father, Otto, ran theShipwreck out of the famous circa1924 boxcar diner for 25 years. Timhas run it for 24.The rating of “very good/excel-
lent” is based on what locals havecome to cherish about the cash-onlyShipwreck: old-fashioned comfortfood, fantastic breakfasts and per-sonable service.It’s a Northport institution, and in
recent months, Tim and the ganghave taken steps toward expandingthat legacy. Building upon the interi-or work that Ty Pennington and histeam performed last August for thepilot episode of the Food Network’s“American Diner Revival,” Hessrecently unveiled a fully enclosedoutdoor dining area, which heopened three weeks ago. With highceilings, big, wooden fans and brick
finishes, the space, augmented bycolorful foliage, is quintessentialNorthport. It feels like a hay loft anda breezy beachside cabana all atonce.“It’s done very well. It’s a struc-
ture that’s going to stay in the villageway after me,” he said. EverySunday morning around brunchtime, the patio becomes the site ofthe Breakfast Club, where NorthportDJ Tommy Bruno spins tunes, manywith a reggae lilt to them, as dinersnosh on lobster and crab three-cheese quiche ($14.95) and siphomemade sangria and mimosas($4.95) from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Don’t besurprised if the staff breaks out into adance party at any given time.It’s a perfect time to delve into
some of that comfort food in whichTim and the crew excel. Stuffedpotato skins with cheddar and bacon($8.95) are an outstanding surprise.Crisp like a well-done french fry onthe outside and loaded with thick-cutbacon, it’s like no other potato skinyou’ve ever had – and probably theonly one you’ve had with a wedge oforange on the side.The Diner Revival-engineered
“Wreckfast” burrito ($12.95) is a rib-sticking knockout, a fork-and-knifeburrito stuffed with perfect scram-bled eggs, bacon, sausage, cheeseand hash browns and smothered with
thick hollandaise. Go lighter with the“Wreck-less” burrito ($14.95),which includes salmon, egg whites,grilled tomato, avocado, arugula, andlemon aioli on a whole wheat tortilla.Lobster rolls ($19.95), a seaside
summertime staple, shine in theirsimplicity – fresh, sweet claw meat,a touch of mayo, celery and onion ina fluffy roll. French fries served onthe side are crispy on the outside, fullof potato flavor inside. Make sure ifyou’re in the mood for Marion’shomemade cheese blintzes ($13.95)to get there early to beat the rush,
because they go quickly.Then, of course, there are the clas-
sics: the sidecar breakfast platters,the breakfast specials, pancakes andFrench toast, grilled sandwiches,club sandwiches and everything elseyou’ve come to love over the years.And, for the first time, you’ll be
able to enjoy some of those favoritesafter hours on the weekend. Tim’s isnow open until 9 p.m. on Saturdaynights for lunch and dinner dishes.Asked about the state of affairs at
the Shipwreck, Tim is emphatic:“Perfect,” he said, lounging in a chairon the patio. “Couldn’t be better.”

Striking a delectable balance be-tween health and taste can be chal-lenging.The connotations that healthy foods
don’t always taste great and thatsweets are a health nut’s downfall aretwo obstacles that sisters Carolyn Ar-cario and Mary Mucci set out to over-come four years ago. Arcario, who isgluten intolerant and is sensitive toother food products, and her sister,who also has a gluten sensitivity,openedHuntington village’s only ded-icated gluten-free bakery in 2011.“I love doing new things. I love new
challenges,” Arcario said of openingWild Flours bake shop. “I wanted tostart a place where I would be able toeat. I knew there would be other peo-ple like me.”But Arcario stressed that Wild
Flours isn’t just a haven for those suf-fering from food allergies or lookingto eat healthy.“It’s not easy to bake gluten-free,
because you have to achieve both the
right texture and the right taste. It’shard to get both. But once you getthem down you have something that’sgoing to be appealing,” Arcario, ofHuntington, said. “In our case, a lot ofour customers just come here becausethey like the taste [of the food]. Theydon’t have an issue with gluten ordairy, they just really like their yummybaked goods.”And the appeal of not having a sug-
ar crash afterwards, she added. Mostof Wild Flours’ sweets are sugar freeand only a few marked items incorpo-rate organic unrefined cane sugar.Yet cookies, muffins, brownies,
cupcakes, pies, turnovers and otherdessert items are far from all WildFlours has to offer. The bakery’s menuoffers avenues for breakfast and lunch,to go along with dessert.“We’re not just a bakery selling
sweets. We have a lot of savory itemshere,” she said. For example, the bak-ery offers gluten-free pizza – one ofthe things gluten intolerant people feelmost deprived of,” she noted. WildFlours’ pizza is available Wednesday-Saturday and made to order.The bakery also offers panini, sand-
wiches, Applegate cold cuts, organicsalads, quiche and more. Most of thebakery’s offerings are made using or-ganic products. Wild Flours recentlyhas also seen increased demand forvegan products, with more new cus-tomers citing egg allergies.
Arcario, a first-time business ownerwho was previously a gemologist inManhattan, embraced her entrepre-neurial side and translated her bakinghobby into business after moving toHuntington about five years ago.To get things going, she teamed up
with Mucci, News 12 Long Island’shealth reporter, and the pair soon set-tled on their Huntington village loca-tion.“She’s health conscious and I’m the
baker, so it seemed like a good com-bination to produce healthy bakedgoods that everybody can enjoy,” Ar-cario said. “…And that really taste de-
licious,” she added.Wild Flours also ships to customers
across the country.To view a menu, visit wildflours-

Thirty-three artists set up shop inNorthport Village Park Saturday,bringing with them jewelry, furniture,photography, paintings and more forhundreds to peruse during the North-port Arts Coalition’s 13th annual ArtIn The Park festival.“We thought we’d stop at 30. Wedidn’t know if we’d have enoughroom, and they were pleading to showtheir art, so we found more space forthem,” former Northport Arts Coali-tion director and event organizer Lau-ren Paige said.Of those the 33 artists, 10 were first-timers, including Northport nativeSallyAnne Keller, who now lives inPort Jefferson. Keller said participat-ing in Art in the Park as a watercolorpainter marked a welcome return toher roots.“I’ve been inspired since I was a kidby Long Island scenes,” she said. “Ilike to share my atmospheric paint-ings. I like to share my talent withpeople and network.”Sculptor Ken Strier, of Commack,found the show through a Port Wash-ington art group’s email blast.“It’s a beautiful venue,” he said.“I’ve been looking for a place wheremore people could see my work, and Iwanted something local, so thisworked out really well.”Strier first began working withstone after he retired from his careeras a computer technician in 2001, thenbranched out into materials like steel,bronze and clay.“I love taking something inanimateand making it look fluid and alive,” hesaid.
Amidst the array of traditionalbusts, there is a steel sailboat and strik-ing bouquets of flowers crafted fromforks and spoons. The idea came as heand his wife were decorating theirAri-zona winter home.“We were decorating our house andmy wife said, ‘I’d really like you tomake something for the dining roomwall,’” Strier said. “Wewere at a showand I saw someone who made aflower out of spoons… that’s where Istarted with this, and I found I reallyliked it and thought it was a lot of funto work on.”Meanwhile, Cold Spring Harbor’sEllie McBroom decided that, ratherthan decorate her dining room, shewould bring the dining room to North-port Village. Her company, GarbaggeArt Furniture, focuses on recyclingold furniture and refurbishing it intochic, functional art.“I have a passion for old furniture,”she said. “It’s beautiful. It’s heavy. I goaround and try to save as many as Ican by turning them into an artpieces.”She finds her materials in thriftshops, at yard sales, and on curbsidesonce in a while.“It literally hurts me emotionally,”she said of seeing old furniture on thecurb, destined for the garbage heap.Village Park proved to be a perfectstaging area for her first-ever profes-sional showcase of her work, and forthe other 32 exhibitors to shine.Northport’s Amy Connor, herself aphotographer, said she and her familyhave been going to the festival everyyear since moving to the community11 years ago. “Anything that involvesthe arts is something we’re going totry to attend,” she said.

By day, Jim Clark makes his liv-ing as the owner of his own lawfirm and as outside counsel toHuntington Town Hall. On his offtime, he’s plotting a great escape ofhis own, bringing a brain-teasingconcept to life in the heart of North-port Village.Clark and his wife Kelly, along
with Jay Dowski, are the gamemas-ters of the CryptIQ room escape ex-perience, located at 256 Main St.,the same building as his law office.The concept is simple: a group of
up to 10 people are brought into aroom filled with logic games, puz-zles and riddles. Those clues leadparticipants on the path to findingthe key that opens up the door andgets them on their way. They have60 minutes to crack the code.“It’s a race against the clock,”
Clark said. “It’s just a lot of fun.”Clark said he first got the idea for
the Hollywood-themed CryptIQ af-ter trying the concept in the city. InNorthport, the game is set in the of-fice of eccentric movie director andproducer NicholasVan Orton, and, asthe story goes, he’s taken a breakfrom reviewing scripts and takingcasting calls for his latest big-screenblockbuster to search for new ap-prentices. Win the job by escapinghis office in 60 minutes or less.“After the last time we did it in
Manhattan, I said, ‘We can come up
with one of these,’ Clark said. “Sowe designed it ourselves and foundspace on Main Street.”Since opening their doors in
June, they’ve received “great feed-back,” Clark said. Designed for a 20percent success rate, Clark saidthey’re right on target. Of 20 groupsthat have gone through so far, fivehave successfully solved the puzzleand escaped.“Everyone who’s gone through –
even if they didn’t get out – theyhad a good time,” Clark said. “No-body has ever screamed, ‘let meout!’ But one person had to go tothe bathroom, so we let them out togo to the bathroom.”Individual slots are $25 per per-
son; add a small online registrationfee. Pre-registration is required.The studio is open from Tuesday-Sunday and by appointment. Formore information, call 631-651-2622, visit cryptiqinc.com, or [email protected].

The best way to accomplish an ac-curate budget and balance sheet is totake your check book and creditcard statements and start at the lastentry. Break out each purchase andenter it into its category. Do this go-ing back three months. Then multi-ply each category by four to get youryearly expenses. Then go through
your checkbook and credit cardstatements for the year to catch anyexceptional purchase/expenses,such as large tax bills and insurancecoverage which was not picked upin the first three months.This should give you a pretty ac-
curate showing of your income andoutgo. From here, we can examineand massage the numbers to see if
there is anything we can adjust orcut back on.Congratulations. You have started
on your way to a solid retirementplan. If you would like to expand onany of these areas please contact Askthe Expert and we will be glad to as-sist. In the coming weeks and monthswe will address the other areas of asolid financial plan.

easier to restore electricity morequickly to facilities that provide es-sential services when there are wide-spread power outages,” a press re-lease issued after the meeting bytown spokesman A.J. Carter read.Huntington is one of 14 munici-
palities on Long Island and 83 acrossNew York to receive grant monies,which were issued through Gov. An-drew Cuomo’s NY Prize microgridcompetition. The competition wasadministered by NYSERDA and isdescribed as a first-in-the-nation $40million movement to help communi-
ties reduce costs, promote clean en-ergy and build reliability and re-siliency into the electric grid.“New Yorkers have first-hand ex-
perience regarding the need for re-silient and efficient power systemsthat can withstand whatever MotherNature has in store for us,” Cuomo
said. “This funding will help com-munities across New York invest inthese new systems, which will en-sure critically important institutionssuch as police and fire stations, hos-pitals and schools can continue oper-ating during and in the aftermath ofan extreme weather event.”

Bonesso said that modified siteplans submitted last week “flipped”the Hyatt Place building so the“front of the building” faces Ru-bie’s, he said. The new plans wouldalso double the distance betweenthe proposed Hyatt Place and Rubieand increase the number of parkingspaces from 169 to 180.Previously, Alan Katz, a member
of Sherwood 510 LLC, owner ofproperty at 510 Broadhollow Road;Jan Burman, president of LBAMelville Associates, which ownsproperty neighboring the RubieCorporate Plaza on the South Serv-ice Road; and Marc P. Beige, amember of Broadhollow AssociatesLLC, owner of the Rubie CorporatePlaza, filed protest petitions. Thosepetitions were deemed valid by the
town’s planning department, mean-ing a four-vote supermajority willbe needed to ratify the zone change.With Councilman Mark Cuthbert-
son vocal in his opposition to theproposal, the remaining four votingmembers of the Town Board wouldhave to vote in favor of the zonechange. Councilwomen SusanBerland and Tracey Edwards havecome out in support of the plan; Su-
pervisor Frank Petrone has notweighed in either way, but said he is“encouraged” by the ongoing dis-cussions, town spokesman A.J.Carter said.“OTO and the neighbors are still
talking, and the supervisor notesthat the extension gives them theopportunity to continue talking toresolve their differences,” Cartersaid.

build some retail on the lower level tohelp offset some of the costs,” saidBob Scheiner, chairman of the Hunt-ington Township Chamber of Com-merce and a member of the Hunting-ton Village Parking Consortium.Scheiner said on Sunday that he ex-
pects the request for proposals to be is-sued within two to three weeks. Townspokesman A.J. Carter confirmed thatan RFP is under development, but saidit was too soon for the town to com-ment since it has not been finalized.Both the Elm Street and New Street
municipal lots are being eyed as possi-ble sites for structures, Scheiner said.“What the group did was to assess
what lots that the town owns that couldbe developed for additional parkingwith minimal impact to the surround-
ing community,” Scheiner said. “Thetown selected two. That doesn’t meanthe developer is going to select both.But they have the option to pick one orboth.”The end goal, Scheiner said, is 325
to 350 new spots at no cost to tax-payers. Turning exclusively to theprivate sector was necessitated by thestate’s 2 percent property tax levycap and the town’s desire not topierce it, Scheiner said.“The cost to float those bonds has
to be paid for by the town within itsbudget and the 2 percent tax cap. Thetown does not want to pierce thatamount and I respect them for that,”he said.The apparent move toward parking
structures in the village is the latest inseveral years’ worth of reforms to
parking in Huntington village, manyof them spearheaded by the Consor-tium, of which leadership from theHuntington Chamber, The Para-mount, the Huntington Village Busi-ness Improvement District, the townand Huntington’s Economic Devel-opment Corporation are members.Others changes included institut-
ing three-hour parking, temporaryvalet parking in the New Street lot,an increase in parking fees, a shift tomulti-meters in prime parking areas,and a change in enforcement hoursfrom 9 a.m.-6 p.m. to 10 a.m.-8 p.m.During that time, the Gerard Streetlot was also repaved and recon-structed.Meanwhile, the town was expected
take another step toward increasingthe stock of free municipal parking in
the village at Tuesday’s town boardmeeting by ratifying the $1.6 millionpurchase of a parking lot adjacent tothe formerA.G. Edwards building lo-cated at 24W. Carver Street, adjacentto the New Street lot. A vote to fundthe purchase was expected to be heldafter press time at Tuesday’s townboard meeting. Town planning offi-cials said that by re-striping the lot,the town could create as many as 65new parking spots, Carter said.Anna Louise Realty 2 LLC, the
current owner, will continue to ownand operate the 24 W. Carver Streetbuilding, Carter said, which also hasparking on site. Per the agreement,the new owners will give the townunrestricted access to parking spotsimmediately adjacent to the building.“It’s really a win-win,” Carter said.

a show, but we can make it up as wego along, too,” said O’Gara, who isthe youngest in the group at 26.The band will be bringing the act to
The Paramount on July 31. The show,starts at 8 p.m., giving O’Gara’s par-ents a reasonable hour to go see her.The last time she came to The Para-
mount, she said, her father attended,and he was dancing and singing.When she’s not singing with
Jessie’s Girl, O’Gara is auditioningfor voice-over roles. She’s done workfor Garnier and Mastercard.“I’m able to do that during the
week and be a rock star on the week-end and it works out really well,”
O’Gara said.Looking ahead, she might try out
for the final season of American Idol– because, hey, why not? – and she’sthinking about going back to schoolto earn a master’s degree in musicaltherapy.For now, she said “it’s hard to
imagine it getting better. For one, it’s
hard to find a band where everyonecan get along so well. And peoplelove the music and they know everyword. People just let loose. It’s verygood. I want to maintain doing thisband, because I think it’s a special,special band.”Tickets for the July 31 are $20-$45.

yard, was born.From July 6-10, volunteers went
into homes in the Huntington Stationarea.One of the projects included re-
building a badly worn-down bath-room in a multifamily home.“One house with many families
living in it had two bathrooms, one ofthem working. The one upstairslooked fine, but was unusable. Thepiping and plumbing was bad,” Man-nale said.Downstairs – the bathroom that
worked – the sink was sagging and“everything was rotten,” he said. Thehome, which had five children in di-apers, he added, had badly soiled car-peting.Using donated materials and vol-
unteer labor, they revamped the bad-ly damaged downstairs bathroom andreplaced the carpet, leaving behindcare packages and toys for the chil-dren as well.On Friday, they went east to the
Timothy Hill Children’s Ranch,where they cleared out trees andshrubs and did weeding at some of
the transitional housing, Mannalesaid.But some of the giving didn’t nec-
essarily involve heavy physical labor– in one case, it was as simple as put-ting smiles on kids’ faces on a hotsummer day.Mannale said that, for this year, the
Mission Huntington campaign was inlieu of an overseas philanthropic trip.In future years, it may be a comple-ment to an agenda of charity.“Once we have this kind of
smoothed out, it could be an addi-tion,” he said.
