DA Drops Unlawful Surveillance ChargeThe Suffolk County District

Attorneys office dropped thecharge against a Dix Hills manaccused of taking cellphonephotos of an 8-year-old boyusing the bathroom in a NorthBabylon restaurant in May.The Suffolk district attorneys

office said in a press release thata forensic examination of defen-dant Luis Flores Jr.s cellphoneby the Suffolk County PoliceDepartments Computer CrimesUnit did not yield any imagesfrom the restaurant bathroomwhere the crime allegedlyoccurred, nor was there anyother probative evidence foundon Floress phone.

An examination of the factsfound the version of eventsarticulated by the victim and hisfather contained fundamentalinconsistencies with the eventsrecorded by the restaurants in-house video security system.During an Oct. 14 court

appearance, Assistant DistrictAttorney John Cortes, in dis-missing the charge, explainedthat a review of the HibachiGrill surveillance video did notsupport accounts of the boy orhis father of the alleged crime,including the number of men inthe restroom when the allegedcrime occurred, and specificallythe fathers claim disproven

by the security video that noone else was in the bathroomwith his son when he left him. The restaurant video showed

when the boys father exited thebathroom, there were at leastfour other males present, includ-ing Flores.One man exited the restroom

about 10 seconds after the fatherleft, and Flores left about 15seconds later. Two other uniden-tified males left the restroomless than a minute after Floresexit. Before the alleged victims

A 28-foot female humpback whalecarcass found off Lloyd Harbor thisweekend shows signs of blunt forcetrauma, a representative from theRiverhead Foundation for MarineResearch and Preservation saidMonday.On Saturday, a Lloyd Harbor resi-

dent spotted a whale in distress ap-proximately 150 yards off shore,near Woodland Drive, and made acall to the Town of Huntingtonaround 10:30 a.m. The town harbor-masters office responded to the calland determined the whale was dead,A.J. Carter, Town of Huntingtonspokesman, said.That same day, the whale was

towed by Huntington Bay consta-bles, and taken to the United StatesCoast Guards Eatons Neck station.Towing the female humpback beganaround 1 p.m. and ended at theUSCG boat ramp.After the Riverhead Foundation

was notified of the incident, biolo-

gists, interns and volunteers con-ducted a necropsy Sunday afternoon.The team completed an external andinternal exam to document thewhale, and to determine the cause ofdeath, Rachel Bosworth, spokes-woman for the Riverhead founda-tion, said in an email.Since the whale was not sexually

mature, the whale was a juvenile andless than five years of age, she added.The evidence of blunt force trau-

ma was on the right side of thewhales body, Bosworth said, whichcould have resulted from the whalebeing struck by a large vessel or acargo ship.Human causes, such as a vessel

strike, are always a concern for thesemarine animals, Bosworth said,adding that this is an unfortunate andcommon cause of death for whales.Part of the foundation's mission isto educate the public and urge themto be cautious and mindful that theseanimals are present.However, the investigation is still

ongoing and could take several weeksto determine an exact cause of death.

Theyre going to be working withHuntington town, Lloyd Harbor andthe coast guard to see if there hadbeen any large vessels in the area re-cently that could have hit thiswhale, Bosworth said.This is the seventh time a whale

washed ashore in NewYork this year.Five of those whales were hump-backs. The foundation asks that any-one with photos/videos of recentwhale activity email them to [email protected] analyzing documentation of

the humpback whales recently spot-ted swimming in western Long Is-land waters, the foundation willidentify if this deceased whale isamong the ones that had been sight-ed recently, Bosworth said.There have been several whale

sightings in the Town of Huntington,including one that was reported byLong Islander News in late Septem-ber. According to the report, passen-gers on the James Joseph Fishingcharter boat witnessed three whalesfeeding in the Long Island Sound offHuntington Harbor.

Although there have beenseveral whale sightings recent-ly in the Huntington area, onlytwo reports have been made ofwhales washing ashore in thelast nearly seven decades.The most recent of which is

described to the right, but asimilar incident also took placenearly 69 years ago to the date.According to an Oct. 24,

1946 report in the The Long-Is-lander, a 63-foot finback whalewashed up on the shores ofHalesite Park on Oct. 21 of thatyear. The incident caused chaoson Harbor Road, as membersof the community rushed to thescene to get a glimpse of themassive mammal.Huntington schools were

closed by order of Dr. Lyle L.Morris and students from as faraway as Oyster Bay werebrought Halesite in school bus-es, The Long Islander reported.Like the humpback whale

this past Sunday, the 1946 fin-back whale was fatally injuredwhen it was washed ashore.

He wascharged with multiple offenses including,two counts of criminal possession of mari-juana, and reckless driving. According topolice, the incident occurred Oct. 13 atabout 10 p.m. Police said the other driverwas treated at Huntington Hospital forinjuries sustained during the crash.

Pill Possession

Fraudulent Charges

Police received a report Oct. 14 from aDix Hills resident stating that fraudulentcharges were made to her credit card by anunknown person.

Boots BootsBoot season has finally ar-rived! Last week was the first time I whippedout my ozark trail winter boots. And Im notthe only one. Almost every person at the LongIsland Fall Festival a couple ofweeks ago was wearing boots.Even at work, one of our writ-ers has been clicking andclacking away, walking up and down the office,wearing some type of knee-high boots. I neverunderstood knee-high boots. It would be anevent in it of itself for me to pull the fabric up ofwhats left of my short legs. Im not an experton boots, but anything thats easy to slip onwithout the risk of pulling out my back is per-fect for me.

Snow already?... I tell ya, this snow keepscoming earlier and earlier every year. I waspicking out some pumpkins down in Melville onSunday and I couldnt believe my eyes when asnowflakes starting falling out of nowhere. Thecrowd there audibly gasped! What I want toknow is, if were getting snow already here inthe middle of October, what are January andFebruary going to bring?

Too soonAs with the snow, can you be-lieve that some stores have already started withthe Christmas displays? I havent even acceptedthe fact that summer is over yet, let alone startpreparing for the winter holidays. Halloweenhasnt even come yet! Ill take my holidays oneat a time, please. I like to savor them.

A whale of a problem Did you hear aboutthe poor deceased whale that was found inLloyd Harbor on Sunday? My heart sank when Iheard the news and for those who haventheard, flip to our news section for an update on

the situation. Anyway, the whole incident gotour staff talking about an eeri-ly similar situation that unfold-ed nearly to the date 69 yearsago. It was on October 20,1946 when a 63-foot whalebeached itself on the shores ofHuntington Harbor, up byKnutsons Marina. When wordgot out, the crowds began

flocking to the harbor. It caused so much of aruckus that the town declared a holiday and stu-dents from as far as Oyster Bay made the tripout to the harbor and observed the whale. Thethousands of gawkers watched as the poor beastwas still gasping its last, and some of the moreheartless ones actually carved out pieces of itsflesh as souvenirs.

Elections incoming Election Day is al-most upon us, folks. We know this not becausewe are so civic minded, but because those littlelawn signs are popping up like mushrooms aftera summer rain. I understand the theory behindthem is to show grassroots support while creat-ing name recognition, but the effect in my mindis just a lot of visual litter. But what really getsmy goat is when they spring up in road medians,along parkways and in public parks. One year Ivowed I would not vote for anyone whose signswere illegally placed in public land. I never gotin and out of a voting booth so fast.

OpinionNot the types set up by the printer return their impression, the meaning, the main concern.

TownCouncil:Keith BarrettFive candidates are run-

ning for two open towncouncil seats that each carryfour-year terms.Incumbent Susan Berland

(D,WF, I, WE) is going for afifth term. If elected again,she will have served on theboard for 18 years. And, un-like her opponents, she does-nt believe in term limits,sticking with the mantra thatelections are the best termlimits.Berland has pros, such as

her forceful support of issuesclose to her, her straight-for-ward nature and institutionalknowledge. But she is also apolitically divisive figurewho is at times overly con-cerned about negative com-ments made about her.The other incumbent, Eu-

gene Cook (R, C, I, Reform),has pledged that this wouldbe his last term as a townboard member, but hewouldnt rule out a futurerun for town supervisor, arace he narrowly lost to Su-pervisor Frank Petrone twoyears ago.During his term, Cook has

advocated for greater trans-parency at Town Hall andcan take credit for promptingthe state comptroller to auditthe towns books. But he haslargely stayed on the legisla-tive sidelines with the rea-soning that since he is in theminority, he doesnt have a

second to his proposals, sowhy try?Jennifer Thompson (R,

Reform) has served on theNorthport-East Northportschool board since 2010 andbelieves in a strict two-termlimit on the town board. Sheis articulate and intelligent.However, the excessive tax-ing by the school board asoutlined in a state comptrol-lers report leaves a hugequestion mark about her fi-nancial leadership skills.We reached out to Michael

Helfer (C), but didnt havethe opportunity to meet withhim. And since he is runningon one line, it doesnt looklike hell be a major vote-getter.The final candidatde is

Keith Barrett (D,WF,WE), aMelville resident whohelped start the HuntingtonStation Business Improve-ment District more than adecade ago and has been itspresident ever since. Barrettowns an auto repair shop inHuntington Station and is al-so currently the deputy di-rector of the towns generalservices department, wherehes help to cut costs by in-stituting common-sensebusiness principles, frombringing auto body work inhouse, to having the depart-ment do its own state inspec-tions. He believes limiting apersons tour on the townboard -- including as super-visor -- to eight years, and is

not in favor of a three-storyor larger public-private park-ing garage in Huntington vil-lage.We need more cooperation

between board members toget things done and addressthe issues that pretty muchall the candidates we inter-viewed agreed on, with pub-lic safety, economic develop-ment and housing beingchief among them. Whatsthe best way to keep our res-idents from fleeing to lessexpensive locales whilekeeping Huntington fromstraying too far from its sub-urban roots?All candidates have good

qualities, but the EditorialBoard is compelled to en-dorse only one candidate,even though there are twoopen slots. Based on hisbusiness savvy, independentthinking and the fresh, posi-tive atmosphere we feel hewould bring to the table,Long Islander News endors-es Keith Barrett.

Receiver ofTaxes: Ester

BivonaHuntingtons receiver of

taxes since 1992, EsterBivona projects the town willfor the first time break the $1billion mark in tax collec-tions this year. Among herbiggest priorities, she said, isassuring that those who cometo pay their taxes in person

dont have to spend their timestanding in line.One could argue that as

the person who is personallyliable for that $1 billion, shecould have higher priorities.But Bivona who firstjoined the department asdeputy tax receiver in 1982 said her most important pri-ority is always the taxpay-ers. She aims to make theprocess efficient and aspainless as possible forthem. She has worked tosave money by automatingmailings and using limitedstaff efficiently.Bivona has run unop-

posed in past elections. Thisyear she is being challengedby Monique Pardes, a for-mer paralegal currentlyworking as a teachers aid.Pardes said her main issue isthat no one should be in thejob too long. She broughtfew ideas on how she woulddo it better.Bivona deserves re-elec-

tion.

Town Clerk:Jo-Ann Raia

Jo-Ann Raia is unop-posed in her bid for aneighth term. That didntstop her from earnestly andenthusiastically sittingwith the Editorial Board to

make a case for why shedeserves to be re-elected.Any opportunity to enlight-en and explain the myriadduties and responsibilitiesof her office is welcome.Those duties include

serving as secretary to thetown board, issuing variouslicenses and permits, andkeeping of the towns vitalstatistics. Additionally, heroffice is responsible formaintaining the townsrecords center andarchives.Raias office in Town

Hall receives the most traf-fic from residents seekinglicenses, records and cer-tificates, or information ontown board activities. Inthat way, Raia is the faceof the town. She aims todeliver the services her of-fice is responsible for effi-ciently.After recently losing

staff members who took re-tirement incentives, she hasworked to ensure that herstaff can cover their dutieswithout skipping a beat.As the towns records of-

ficer, Raia put in place arecords management pro-gram before it became lawand has obtained grants tohelp maintain its archives.She deserves another

term.

From the Publishers DeskSince Im the publisher, some might expect that Long

Islander News endorses the people I want, and that I drivethe process. Neither is the case. The process is driven byour editor, and I am one vote of four on our EditorialBoard. I am the only non-editor on the board and carryonly one vote.The others on our board are the people you all read. They

are the people who report on the town, its people and itsnews.In deliberations, Keith Barrett was the first choice for

town board. We all believed that he would best serve thetown going forward. That one was easy.The other four have good qualities, but the board felt, asa team, we could not clearly pick one for that second slot.We wish all of the candidates well and await for the voterschoices on Nov. 3.See you at the voting booths! -JAMES V.

A man was hospitalized early Monday morning aftertwo trucks collided on the Long Island Expressway nearMelvilles western border, fire officials said.A box truck traveling westbound on the LIE near exit48 (Round Swamp Road) struck the right rear corner of atractor trailer, forcing the box truck to veer left on the ex-pressway around 4:50 a.m. The box truck then struck theexpressways center divider and partially pinned its driv-er under the steering wheel, Chris Nolan, Melville FireDepartment assistant fire chief, said Monday.Nolan said both Nassau and Suffolk police departmentsresponded to the accident, which occurred at the borderseparating the two counties. Suffolk police ultimatelyhandled the call.The Melville Fire Department responded with a heavyrescue truck, two rescue engines and three ambulances. Afirst responder unit comprised of roughly 25 firefightersand EMS personnel was also at the scene.There was a major intrusion into the box truck, so wehad to cut the windshield out and then raise the dashboardaway from the driver, Nolan said.Using extrication tools, the Melville Fire Departmentmanaged to free the trapped driver, who was then trans-ported by the Melville Rescue Squad to North ShorePlainview Hospital where he was treated for minor in-juries.No other injuries were reported.

In response to political abuseHuntington Councilman EugeneCook said he faces from a town-initi-ated lawsuit, the councilman assem-bled a seminar focusing on land-useand investment regulations last week,which drew more than 50 people.This is because of 792 Larkfield

Road and the abuse that the town hasput me through, which, obviously, I

believe is a political abuse, Cooksaid of his motivation to recruit at-torneys Tom Horn and LawrenceKelly to speak at VFW Post 1469 inHuntington Station.Sag Harbor-based attorney Horn,

and Kelly, of counsel with Hornslaw office, spoke about New YorksUniform Fire Prevention and Build-ing Code, which they said restrictslocal municipalities ability to en-force standards that are more re-strictive than the uniform code.

Kelly said that municipalitieschoose to ignore certain aspects ofthe uniform code, such as informingpeople that they have the right to ap-peal summonses directly to the NewYork Department of State.If he didnt have an election com-

ing up, thats what we were tellingGene Cook to do. Go to the depart-ment of state, Kelly said.Currently, Cook, and his business

partners at TGJ 2014 LLC await trialfor town-issued summonses that re-

sulted from an investigation centeringon a piece of property TGJ purchasedlast year at 792 Larkfield Road in EastNorthport. The home has drawn con-cern from the town due to its longtimeuse as a five-family rental home on asingle-family zoned property.Huntington alleges the home is in

violation of code partly due towork that was done to a staircase atthe front of the home without a per-mit or certificate of occupancy andtherefore a letter in lieu protectingthe five-family use is no longer valid.Cook has said the staircase existedwhen TGJ comprised of Cook,Commack-based attorney Josh Priceand Huntington real estate brokerTim Cavanaugh purchased thehome in October 2014 and that onlyimprovements were made, not vio-lating code.Town-appointed investigator Ed-

ward Guardaro of Westchester-basedlaw firm Kaufman, Borgeest & Ryancould not immediately be reached foran update on the case proceedings.TGJs attorney, Northport-based Ed-wardYule, also couldnt be reached.Cook said he believes the case

wont advance until after ElectionDay. In an interview Wednesday,Cook added that Suffolk Sixth Dis-trict Court Judge Linda Kevins re-jected TGJs request to have the casedismissed. He said TGJ and the townwould meet Oct. 29 to schedule acourt date.Cooks seminar ended in a flurry

of comments and concerns from au-dience members, many of whomidentified themselves as real estateprofessionals, in response to housingregulations Huntington has passedover the last five months.Some criticized Huntington for re-

quiring single-family rental housesto be registered with the town, a lawthe town board adopted in May.The law is designed to ensure

people rent houses that are habit-able, A.J. Carter, Huntington townspokesman, said last week.Others criticized a law passed Oct.

6 that requires a special-use permitfor homeowners to create owner-oc-cupied two family homes in R-5 Res-idence Districts. The laws sponsor,Councilwoman Tracey Edwards saidafter the Oct. 6 town board meetingthat change is meant to give a con-sistent approach to how we treathousing since, previously, thosewho constructed two-family homesin R-5 districts did not need to givepublic notice in the same way thoseseeking an accessory apartment do.I think thats inconsistent, she

said.


Cook: Political Abuse Prompts LawSeminarTOWNOFHUNTINGTON


Huntingtons first retro videogame event was hosted Oct. 17 at theUnitarian Universalist Fellowship.Gamers, collectors and vendors werewelcomed for a day of gaming funand fundraising, with proceeds goingto the fellowship.The event, dubbed Keep Pluggin,

is the brainchild of Ben Farrell, 22,formerly of Huntington, an avidgamer and video game collector withchildhood ties to the fellowship.In the months leading to the event,

Farrell said that he was focused onacquiring video games and establish-ing relationships with dealers who hewelcomed to attend the event for afee of $50 per table.The challenging aspect was just

learning everything because I didntknow anything about doing this kindof thing, Farrell said. There are alot of awesome volunteers at the fel-lowship here, and I probably could-nt have done it without them.He added that his video game ex-

pertise proved to be a valuable re-source for event planners who wouldhave had a difficult time running theevent without him.Thats where the mix really

comes in well, Farrell said, describ-ing his working relationship withmembers and planners of the fellow-ships religious community.Farrells father, Ken, is the owner

of Just Kids Nostalgia, a companyfounded 35 years ago as a brick andmortar on Main Street in Hunting-ton. The business physical store-front became a staple in the commu-nity, selling games and pop col-lectibles before transitioning to anonline-only retailer.Im kind of aware of what the

market has been in my generation,which is Howdy Doody and thelike, Ken, 65, said. My son Benhas moved into the modern era,which is 80s and 90s video games,which is the up-and-coming marketand makes Howdy Doody look likeits over.Ken has seen his son and his own

business moving into video gamingas a larger and more viable market,one that resonates more with todays

younger people, but admits that thestore had an effect on his children,including Farrell.I think it was a blessing because I

was exposed to a lot growing up interms of pop culture, Farrell said.And just the social aspects of lifeand dealing with people and owninga business, it was all just around me.Farrell said that he was about 10

years old when his father launchedJust Kids Nostalgia, and that his ex-perience helping his dad and brotheras a child at the shop really shapedhis interests, and later led him to usehis knowledge to help benefit hiscommunity.It was a good thing to be exposed

to and I appreciate it a lot on the ba-sis of being exposed to pop culturebecause I like knowing things off-hand. Ive always been aroundrecords and posters, movies andmemorabilia so I kind of know a lot

of stuff about that, Farrell said.Saturdays event saw roughly 20

dealers and private collectors sellingand trading a wide selection of thou-sands of retro video games fromCentipede to Pac-Man along withclassic gaming consoles like, Nin-tendo, Sega Genesis and Playstation.Keep Pluggin also encouraged

free arcade play and had an assort-ment of old gaming consoles hookedto about 25 televisions locatedthroughout the facility where bothchildren and adults had the option ofplaying casually or competing forprizes.Sitting with his father, 9-year-old

gamer Luigi Scolieri was one ofthose who attended the event. Luigistared intently at a 34-inch TVscreen while playing Donkey Kongon an old Nintendo EntertainmentSystem and attempted to blastthrough the games levels to win the

Donkey Kong competition.I think what they do here is real-

ly cool, Scolieri said. I usuallyplay old games like Donkey Kong,which Im good at, but I play Haloand Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, too.I hope that I win this contest.Liza Burby, a former president of

the fellowships board, said thatshes been a member for 28 years,and after seeing the risk of the orga-nizations annual renaissance fairfundraiser, which she says is veryweather-dependent and sparsely at-tended, she was willing to help facil-itate Farrells gaming event project.This is an old building and it

takes a lot just to keep the lights on,Burby said. Demographics arechanging with churches and I thinkevery single church has membershipissues and so were just trying to beas creative as possible with what wedo to fundraise.

Its near to midnightTime to give up the fightNot a moment too soonJust in time for the moon

Moonbeams shine through my white lacedrapesClose enough for me to embraceHalf closed eyes watching the moonbeamsQuietly drifting into my dreamsThe day was long and something had made me cryI laid my head on the pillow and gazed at the skyI caught the moon staring back at meAnd the beautiful moonbeams seemed to be sleeping with meAnd I realized nothing is as bad as it seems

White strands of moonbeams dancing through the windowThe stars shining bright keeping up with the moons glow

The moon gave way to the morning sunA new day has begunAnd no matter how things may seemNear to midnight Ill be watching the moonbeams

ArchivesSteam Boat Auction(Oct. 23, 1868)The steamboat D.R. Martin was to be sold at public auction Dec. 1, 1868. The decisionwas made by the Northport, Huntington and Oyster Bay Steamboat Co. during a meetingin Huntington at Euterpean Hall on Oct. 21, 1868.(Oct. 23, 1868 Steamboat D.R. Martin)

Math Problem(Oct. 25, 1850)The Long-Islander published an allegedly solvable mathematical problem that had beencirculating throughout Huntington. Apparently everyone, including academics, whotried to solve the problem were baffled. As it appeared the problem reads as follows: A parallelogram or parallelograms, a rectangle or rectangles, one part greater inlength than in width. From a certain point P ; A as a corner of any particular one of thefigures is three parts, and B as its opposite corner is four parts, and from B along itsadjacent lesser side to the next corner C. thence to the point P is eight parts. It isrequired to determine all the geometrical figures and the situation of point P. The reward for solving this problem in 1850 was $20. A winner was not announced inthe following week's issue.(Oct. 25, 1850 math problem)

False Political Retribution(Oct. 27, 1848)Newspapers in New York reported that the Postmaster of Huntington had been relievedof duty upon purely political grounds. A report in The Long-Islander says they had notreceived that information in any official capacity, and were unsure how such a reporthad begun circulating.(Oct. 27, 1848, Postmaster)

A Congressional bill introducedin June that could provide $65 mil-lion in funding towards restoringand protecting the Long IslandSound has been met with heavy sup-port from the Huntington townboard.Sponsored by Democratic sena-

tors Charles Schumer and KristenGillibrand, along with representa-tives Steve Israel (D-Dix Hills) andLee Zeldin (R-Shirley), the bill isdesigned to address pollution in theSound, which affects an expansiveecosystem home to close to 200species of fish and other wildlife.Aside from serving as a natural

habitat, the Sound also generates asubstantial amount of revenue intourism and recreational activities,including commercial fishing andboating to the tune of over $8 billiona year, according a press release is-sued by the Town of Huntington.This is an important piece of leg-

islation, affecting a major recreationsource for Huntington residents aswell as a major contributor to our

economy, Huntington Council-woman Edwards said in the release.I commend our local representa-tives for introducing the bill andurge Congress to approve it.Dubbed the Long Island Sound

Restoration and Stewardship Act,the proposed legislation combinestwo complementary water qualityand shore restoration program au-thorizations at their previous levelsof $40 million and $25 million peryear, respectively, with funding toextend through 2020.At its September meeting, the

Huntington Town Board passed aresolution sponsored by Edwardsthat urged Congress to pass the bill.As we have learned locally from

the efforts of our Northport HarborWater Quality Protection Commit-tee, cooperation among differentlevels of government and obtainingfunding for programs are keys toimproving water quality, saidHuntington Supervisor FrankPetrone said in the release. Thisbill will help advance the work thathas been done over the past fewyears and ensure that progress con-tinues to be made.

By Tes [email protected] youre in the mood for a

Mexican fiesta, head for Besito onNewYork Avenue in Huntington vil-lage. Besito has been in Huntingtonsince 2006 and its lively atmosphereeasily attracts diners to come in andbe a part of it.Start the fiesta with the guacamole

($11.95) made tableside in a tradi-tional stone Molcajete. It can can beordered mild, medium or spicy and isserved with tortillas and a livelytomato and jalapeno salsa.For appetizers, the queso fundido

($8.95) and tacos de camarones(crispy shrimp, pico de gallo, chipotlecream salsa, cilantro, queso frescowith organic greens, $8.95) and thetamale de elote y camarones (shrimp,corn tamale, chipotle chile cream,onions, cilantro, queso fresco,$10.95) are a great preview to theentrees. The queso fundido is bakedwith chorizo, cilantro, white onionand rojas (poblano peppers), makingit hearty as well as creamy with akick. The tacos de camarones iscrispy but not heavily battered. Thecombination of the pico de gallo,cream salsa and queso fresco mayseem rich but surprisingly not, espe-cially when eaten with organicgreens. In the tamale de elote ycamarones, one can taste the fresh-ness of the corn tamale and theshrimps are cooked perfectly. In addi-tion, combining the cilantro, onions,chipotle chile cream and queso frescowith the tamale heightens its flavors.For entrees, the enchiladas de

mole poblano (shredded chickenbaked in mole poblano, queso fresco,cilantro and onions, $17.95) and thecamarones ajillo (jumbo shrimp, cri-mini and button mushrooms, pico degallo and mashed potato, $24.95) arethe ones to order. The chicken enchi-lada is very tender and on its ownmay not be special, but with thequeso fresco and mole poblano saucethats been cooking for 6-8 hours, theend result is a rich and slightly spicychicken dish. If shrimp is more to

your liking, the camarones ajillo isthe dish to have. The shrimp iscooked with cremini and buttonmushrooms which gives them afuller flavor. While the mushroomsadd flavor, the mashed potato adds ahearty and creamy consistency. Thepico de gallo (chopped tomatoes,onions, cilantro, serranos and limejuice) cuts through the richness ofthe mashed potato, while the onions,cilantro and lime juice enhance theflavor of the shrimp.If you want to add a side dish to

any of the entrees, the elotes de lacalle (roasted corn, queso fresco,chile molido, $4.95) is the one to get.The roasted corn is very fresh andthe chile molido (chile powder) addssome zest to the corn while the quesofresco lessens the spiciness to bringout the corns flavors.If you would like a beverage that

would complement the meal, the oneto get is the Besito Patron ($11),which is their signature margarita.Made with Patron reposado tequila,cointreux, pomegranate and tanger-ine juices and lime, its the perfectdrink for a meal that has complexflavors. The tequila has a clean tastewith a hint of oak flavor, but com-bining the pomegranate and tanger-ine juices with lime creates a flavor-ful and light drink.If you still have room for dessert,

the tres leches (vanilla sponge cake,strawberries, berries and whippedcream, $7) and flan de calabaza(pumpkin flan, whipped cream andcandied pumpkin seeds, $7) are onesto have. The vanilla sponge cake isquite creamy as a result of beingsoaked in three kinds of milk: evapo-rated, condensed and heavy cream.While the cake may seem heavybecause of the marinade, it is actual-ly quite light and airy, and addingstrawberries and berries creates arefreshing dessert. The pumpkin flan(custard) is creamy but not dense likeother custards. Candied pumpkinseeds on top give it a hint of sweet-nessto make this choice a standout.And if thats not enough, every dinergoes home with a little take away

bag of churros, traditional sugardredged cinnamon sticks.In addition to lunch and dinner,

Besito now offers Sunday brunchfrom 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. where onecan have two-for-one margaritas anddine with choices such as quesadillade huevo (flour tortilla with scram-bled eggs, potatoes, ground chorizo,Oaxaca cheese, $9.95), huevosrancheros (two fried eggs with bluecorn tostadas with salsa ranchero,queso fresco, $9.95), enchiladashuevos y chorizo (enchilada withscrambled eggs, chorizo, Oaxacacheese, cilantro, black bean salsa,$10.95), chilaquiles roja (crispy tor-tilla and shredded chicken in guajillochile salsa, crema, queso fresco,cilantro, green onions, $8.95),among others.The amount of food served at

Besito is only second to the qualityand freshness of the ingredients usedfor every dish. In addition to its culi-

nary excellence, the lively music andfiesta-like atmosphere will bring outthe party-going personality in you.One person who can attest to this ismanager, Jose Reyes, who has beenwith Besito since its inception in2006. According to Reyes, we wantour diners to feel like theyre onvacation and experience authenticMexican cuisine. With anotherlocation in Roslyn and an upcominglocation on the south shore, theresno doubt that Besito will continue toattract diners to be part of theirMexican fiesta.

With the fall season comes coolerweather, red and orange leaves onthe trees and the regrowth of thatpesky sweet tooth, which ReinwaldsBakery in Huntington has becomeknown to satisfy.You mention Reinwalds Bakery

around town and people say, Oh,they got the best jelly donuts, saidRichard Reinwald, 63, of Hunting-ton, owner of the 27-year-old bakery.The best donuts are made with asecret, which Reinwald divulged.The process of making the donuts

is just as important as the ingredients.Like wine, improving with age,

dough, bread or any fermented prod-uct develops a pleasing set of flavorswhen it's aged and fermented cor-rectly, Reinwald said.Reinwalds itself has aged like a

fine wine, providing Huntingtonwith luxurious goodies like cook-ies, cakes, pastries, breads and con-fections.Reinwald, a third generation bak-

er, said that his roots for creating

sweetness started with his grandfa-ther, who owned several bakeries inthe mid-1900s.My mother said she was never

going to marry a baker and she did,Reinwald said. My father learnedthe trade over in Germany and hehad a bakery in the Bronx, then inValley Stream and then finally inBellerose, Queens.In 1978, Reinwald bought the

Bellerose business from his father,but decided to look for another loca-tion on Long Island. In 1988, Rein-

wald officially opened the 6,600-square-foot Huntington bakery at495 NewYork Ave.There, now with a staff of 30,

Reinwald offers homemade treatsat a range of prices (from $1.50 fora brownie to $1,000+ for sculptedcakes).The latest addition to these assort-

ments is the green apple moussecake, which Reinwald said has agreen apple cream ballet in the cen-ter and is baked on a graham crackercrust. Reinwald also folds sour

cream into the mousse to take theedge off the sweetness.With recipes like the green apple

mousse cake, Reinwald said his bak-ery produces 500 cakes per week forcelebrations like birthdays, wed-dings, showers and graduations.A particularly important celebra-

tion for Reinwalds approaches inDecember. Typically, during thewinter holidays, Reinwald said thebakery sells 4,000-6,000 trays ofbutter cookies, which weigh in be-tween 2-3 pounds each.Another staple is Reinwalds gin-

gerbread formula, which is 140 yearsold, but matches up to todays stan-dards. The formula and consists ofhoney, molasses, fruit and nuts, butdoesnt contain any sugar or fats,Reinwald said: A 140 year oldrecipe [that] still fits the bill.That recipe, along with the bakery

itself, is something that Reinwaldsaid hes hoping to pass down to fu-ture generations of his family, as itwas passed down to him.While Reinwald is the sole owner

of the bakery, he also works with twoof his brothers, Joseph, 41, and An-drew, 66, who retired from the busi-ness a year ago. Reinwalds wife Ca-role, 59, also works at the bakery,along with the couples son Christo-pher, 34, a fourth generation baker.In the future, Reinwald will pass

down the bakery to his son and hopesto create a successful transition forthe next generation.

Residents in the Town of Hunting-ton are weighed down by heavy costsof living that make it difficult to savemoney and improve their lives, ac-cording to a new report that analyzedcommunities acrossLong Island.

The report, con-ducted by ReclaimNew York, a Man-hattan-based think tank, highlightedHuntington village as an area in whichit is difficult for people to get by. Afamily of four earning the local medi-an income of $118,222 per year is leftwith 4 percent, or about $4,500, of itsincome after taxes and basic expensessuch as food, transportation and utilitycosts, the report said.

Its a reflection of how difficult it isto make it on Long Island today, saidReclaim New York spokesman DougKellogg. You have to go up to thevery high income level, and even thenyoure keeping a very low portion ofyour income.

In Northport, families with the me-dian $120,309 annual income are leftwith about 2 percent left, or $2,205, topay for things like vacations and debt,the report said.

In South Huntington, families earn-ing the median $97,796 are left with 3percent, or $2,477. In Centerport, me-

dian-income fami-lies earning $94,929are actually left inthe red 1 percent, or$657. In Commack,

median-income families are left with 1percent of their incomes to spare, or$1,200. And in the Half Hollow Hillsarea, the median-income family has$1,471, or 2 percent of their incomeleft at the end of the year, the reportsaid.

The report said single renters atlower income levels are at risk of sink-ing into savings or digging into debt,which is why they are often left to re-turn home after college rather than goout on their own.

In the end, Kellogg said the reportshows the tax system is not workingfor anyone.
