A  fun family event that celebrates a forgotten part of the history of the Three Villages

Tickets are now on sale for the Three Village Community Trust’s 9th annual Chicken Hill BBQ, a genuine old-fashioned country picnic to be held on the lawn of the Bruce House and the Rubber Factory Worker Houses, 148 Main St., Setauket on Saturday, Aug. 17 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Titled Celebrating a Special Time and Place in Our Past, the event will feature delicious food, live music by the Rum Dogs, house tours, raffle baskets, auction items and more with special guests Hub and Nellie Edwards.

This year’s barbecue has an expanded menu with pulled pork, BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, hot dogs, hamburgers, sausage and peppers, watermelon and more!  

At one time, the area surrounding the Three Village Community Trust’s Headquarters, and the Factory Houses, at 148 Main Street was known as Chicken Hill. Extending a half mile in each direction, Chicken Hill was a diverse, multi-cultural neighborhood that became an important foundation for today’s Three Village community! Many of the people living in Chicken Hill in the 1800’s and early 1900’s were southern and Eastern European immigrants, Irish immigrants, Native Americans and African Americans – all who worked at the local Setauket Rubber Factory. The ‘Immigrant Factory Houses’ at 148 Main Street are a visible reminder of a bygone era.

Tickets are $30 adults in advance ($40 at the door); children ages 5 to 12 $10; children under the age of 5 are free. Rain date is Aug. 18. Proceeds benefit the Trust’s ongoing restoration projects. To order tickets, visit threevillagecommunitytrust.org. 631-689-0225

All proceeds from the event will go to the ongoing restoration of the Factory Worker Houses, and the other historical properties of the Trust, as well as the upkeep of the Setauket to Port Jefferson Station Greenway. 

Date: Saturday, August 17th, 2024

Site: 148 Main Street, Setauket 

Time: Grounds open at 4pm with live music by the Rum Dogs

Tickets: $30 per person, $40 at the door, Kids 5-12 $10, Under 5 free

Background: 

The three Factory Worker Houses at 148 Main Street in Setauket were built in the late 1800’s and represent an important part of the American immigrant experience.

Near this site, the Setauket Rubber Factory operated as Long Island’s leading producer of domestic goods. Hundreds of workers helped manufacture such items as shoes, boots, belts, tires and rain gear.

Immigrants arriving in New York City from Eastern Europe and Russia were promised steady work and inexpensive housing. These new Americans came to this area in the hopes of a better life, although the work was difficult, conditions poor and the pay low.

Housing was provided by the factory owners in the form of small “factory houses” located throughout the community. Each of the “company houses” has essentially two rooms – one room on the first floor and one on the second floor. Several families would crowd into the houses to afford the monthly rent payments. The area surrounding the three factory houses at 148 Main Street (a half mile in each direction) – was known as “Chicken Hill.” The factory houses at this site still maintain their original interior and exterior – allowing visitors a look ‘back in time.’

Despite the poor working and living conditions, the immigrants helped build a vibrant community. By 1881, there were enough Irish-Catholics in Setauket to hold a St. Patrick’s Day Parade and build the community’s first Catholic Church on Main Street. The Jewish population, recruited from Ellis Island, was large enough to support a synagogue – the first on Long Island outside of Brooklyn and Queens – called Agudas Achim or “Good Fellowship.

Saved from demolition due to the efforts of former NYS Assemblyman Steven Englebright, the Three Village Community Trust and dedicated community volunteers, the “Immigrant Worker Factory Houses” were moved to the Trust’s headquarters for the purpose of preservation, restoration, and education.

Today, these small, rustic houses are a visual reminder of the hopes, dreams and struggles of so many of our nation’s immigrants.  And, every year, the Chicken Hill Country Picnic keeps the memory of ‘a community lost in time’ alive!

The circus is back in town but this time the adults will have all the fun.

Paranormal Cirque III arrives at the Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove from August 1 to 4 featuring a brand new show for mature audiences.

The circus will once again be under the big tent in the mall’s parking lot.

According to the press release, the show is not for the faint of heart, featuring “Acrobats of the Air, Illusionists, freaks, mysterious creatures and all the elements that make one think of a “normal” Circus but that of normal has very little,” all under a black and red Clown Castle tent.

A combination of theater, circus and cabaret with a European flare and spine-tingling soundtrack, the new show has “breathtaking implications always poised between fun and the most uninhibited fear that will transport you to a dark world inhabited by creatures with incredible circus art abilities. A crazy yet fun fusion between Circus, theatre, and cabaret in perfect harmony with the evolution of a show that brings you back to when we dream … and when we had nightmares and fantasies. Scare, encompass, amuse and surprise are the ingredients for a mixture of emotions impossible to forget. This is truly a Paranormal experience like no other,” read the release.

The innovative horror story features different shades of sexy and an incomparable storyline, the press release explains. Audiences can fall into a parallel world and end up surrounded by monstrous creatures with hidden talents with the circus arts. A few of the circus arts on display in this new production include the Wheel of Death, mystifying MAGIC, and more.

Tickets range from $20 to $60 depending on availability. No one under age 13 will be admitted to the show. Guests aged 13 – 17 must be accompanied by an adult. This show has adult language and material.

The box office opens on-site on Tuesday the week of the show. Box office hours on non-show days is 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and on show days, 10 a.m.-10 p.m.

Shows are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Saturday, and 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Sunday. To order, click here or visit www.paranormalcirque.com.

Big Lots

Big Lots has announced plans to close up to 40 stores by the end of this year and two Long Island locations are on the chopping block.The Centereach location at 231 Centereach Mall and the Carle Place location at 260 Voice Road are slated for closure and currently have sales of up to 20% off.

The announcement, made in a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, said the discount retailer would be shuttering 35 to 40 stores as its financials worsen in a tough consumer market. The company currently operates over 1,400 stores nationwide. The other five locations on Long Island — Bay Shore, West Babylon, Hicksville, Copiague and the newly opened store in Holbrook — appear to be safe for now.

“In 2024, the U.S. economy has continued to face macroeconomic challenges including elevated inflation, which has adversely impacted the buying power of our customers,” the filing from Big Lots said. According to the financial disclosure, sales dropped 10.2% between the first quarters of 2023 and 2024, equating to a loss of about $114.5 million.

The music for 'A Cottage for Sale.' Photo courtesy of The Jazz Loft

The Jazz Loft, 275 Christian Ave., Stony Brook, recently acquired a vast collection of memorabilia from composer Larry Conley (November 29, 1895 – February 29, 1960), best known for his composition “A Cottage for Sale,” which has been recorded by more that 50 artists, including Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett and others. Conley wrote the lyrics to the song and the music was composed by Willard Robison.

The acquisition, which was donated by Conley’s son-in-law and Jazz Loft patron Bob Lang, includes master acetates from original songs dating back to the 1920’s, original concert programs, letters, songwriting contracts, and a wealth of research material compiled over many decades by Bob. The acquisition also included funding for the care and maintenance of the collection.

“We are elated to get this collection and to honor Bob Lang in the process,” said The Jazz Loft Founder Tom Manuel. “Bob was a loyal patron and supporter of The Jazz Loft. He was one of those extra special people with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the music. Talking to Bob was like hanging with a star musician who had been around for it all. I’m especially honored that he so appreciated The Jazz Loft and especially honored to have had the opportunity to be his friend.”

A former resident of Port Jefferson, Bob Lang died in 2022.

The story of Bob’s fascination for all things Larry Conley has its roots in a sweet love story. Bob’s wife, Hope Conley, was Larry’s daughter. She was orphaned at the young age of 16. While Hope was left with royalties from her father’s work, she did not know much about his illustrious career as a songwriter and musician. But Bob changed all of that. After the couple was married in 1966, he launched his “detective career,” looking into “all things Larry Conley.”

“Bob helped Hope to uncover resources and family members that she did not know she had,” said Virginia Tanner, who knew Bob for many years prior to his death in 2022. “Bob helped her to retrace her father’s life. They visited the town where he was born, followed research trials throughout the mid-west and eventually to St. Louis. It was there that they discovered the venues where he played, from the steamboats to the night clubs, to the theaters, to the homes of his musical collaborators. They even struck up friendships with the remaining families, exchanging Christmas cards until Bob’s last days.”

In St. Louis, Bob and Hope visited the offices of the musician’s union and found Conley’s application for his union card. Conley had a nightclub that underwent many changes from the late 20’s to the 1990’s and beyond, according to Virginia. The couple joined the New York City Sheet Music Society where Hope got to meet contemporaries of her father.

“Singers and songwriters who had known and played with Conley told them story after story, lead after lead to chase down sheet music, old records, test pressings and more,” said Virginia. “Bob was an impeccable researcher who followed every lead until he could prove it or discard it.”

Hope passed away in 2001, but Bob never stopped working on Larry’s story. The Conley music rights are now in the hands of Hope’s half-sister, Joy’s family and Larry Conley’s great grandson, Ryan.

Throughout the years, Bob and Hope amassed a tremendous collection of Larry Conley memorabilia. After Bob’s death in 2022, the collection was given to The Jazz Loft, where he had spent many enjoyable evenings listening to music. The hit song “A Cottage for Sale” remains a favorite of musicians. Willie Nelson recorded it in 2021 for his Frank Sinatra tribute album “That’s Life.”

The Larry Conley collection will be on display in the Fall of 2024 at The Jazz Loft. For more information, visit www.thejazzloft.org.

Dr. Jennifer Scott Miceli conducts the Belle Voci Intergenerational Choral Society.

Two Decades of Hope and Healing Through Music

Belle Voci Intergenerational Choral Society, a Long Island-based organization dedicated to supporting wellness, cancer prevention, and cure through choral performances, is celebrating 20 years of Sisterhood in Song with the “You Do Not Walk Alone” series. Their Rose Remembrance concert will be held on August 4 at Christ Church in Oyster Bay, and the Candlelight Remembrance concert will take place on August 9 at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Huntington.

The concerts will feature works by Carnelia, Evsenvalds, Hagenberg, Brahms, and Runestad, performed by professional and amateur singers, accompanied by pianist Alex Pryrodny, and also featuring strings, flute, brass, percussion, and harp.

Belle Voci was founded in 2004 by Dr. Jennifer Scott Miceli, Director of Long Island Sound Vocal Jazz (LISVJ) at LIU Post in Brookville, NY after losing her mother, Bonnie Scott, to cancer. Since its establishment, Belle Voci has provided a healing space for others through song. The ensemble has grown into a recognized philanthropic treble choir, offering a forum for prayer, reflection, grieving, meditation, inspiration, and celebration for both singers and audiences.

“We are thrilled to mark this milestone with performances that celebrate our musical achievements and honor those affected by cancer,” said Dr. Miceli. “Our Remembrance concerts are particularly moving, recognizing those who have passed, those living with cancer, and survivors. This year, we look forward to bringing our community together for these moments of deliverance and connection.”

In 2023, Belle Voci was named a finalist for the American Prize in Choral Performance – Community Division. The ensemble also extended its mission of cancer prevention and cure to the United Kingdom, where they performed several concerts in celebration of their 20th season promoting wellness.

Over the years, the organization has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to support wellness and cancer prevention through donations to the American Cancer Society, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and Northwell Hospice Care Network. 

“Our mission has always been to use the power of music to foster healing and hope,” Dr. Miceli added. “The continued support from our community has been invaluable in helping us reach more people and make a greater impact.”

Christ Church is located at 61 East Main Street in Oyster Bay.  St. John’s Episcopal Church is located at 12 Prospect St. in Huntington.

Tickets are available for $30, with a discounted rate of $20 for seniors and students with ID. They can be purchased through the Belle Voci website.

PODS Enterprises, LLC recently released its fourth annual Moving Trends Report identifying the top 20 cities Americans are flocking to, and fleeing from, in 2024. The report analyzes consumer movements throughout the past fifteen months, identifying the environmental and economic factors that inspired these trends. 

Carolinas and Appalachians become new hotspots as pandemic cities cool off

For the second consecutive year, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina landed the top spot on the list of cities people are moving to. Raleigh, North Carolina jumped 14 places compared to last year, coming in sixth in 2024. However, it’s not just these coastal gems that are seeing an influx of new residents. The entire Southern Appalachian region is booming, with droves of people seeking the “quiet life” in states like Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. 

 More Americans are calling the Southeast home with the promise of lower costs of living, an exceptional quality of life, an incredible food scene, easy access to nature, and vibrant metro areas. This migration highlights the region’s broad appeal to those craving a more balanced lifestyle at a reasonable price point without sacrificing modern amenities and rich cultural experiences.

Top 20 cities with the highest number of move-ins: 

 1. Myrtle Beach, SC/ Wilmington, NC 

 2.  Ocala, FL 

 3.  Houston, TX 

 4.  Greenville-Spartanburg, SC 

 5.  Charlotte, NC 

 6.  Raleigh, NC 

 7.  Phoenix, AZ 

 8.  Knoxville, TN 

 9.  Jacksonville, FL 

10. Asheville, NC 

11. Boise, ID 

12. Portland, ME

13. Nashville, TN

14. Atlanta, GA

15. Johnson City, TN

16. Huntsville, AL

17. Dover, DE

18. Orlando, FL

19. Savannah, GA

20. Greensboro, NC

“Last year, we noted the Carolinas were worth watching, and this year, they’ve not only taken the trophy as the number one spot for new moves but also broken a record,” said Rich Schwartz, SVP of Corporate Operations at PODS. 

“On the flip side, we’re continuing to see a throughline where expensive metro areas are prompting Americans to flock to cities and states where the cost of living is lower, and the lifestyle is more balanced,” he added.

California dreaming turns to natural living: housing costs push Americans out of cities

Los Angeles, Northern California, South Florida’s Miami metro, and Long Island, New York continue to see the largest population exoduses. While the draw to natural surroundings is a driving force, skyrocketing costs of living have proven equally influential in this lifestyle pivot. Exorbitant housing costs, overcrowding, and hefty tax burdens have become, for some, insurmountable challenges in these urban centers. As a result, many residents find themselves priced out and seeking reprieve from major cities. This mass relocation underscores the growing appeal among Americans in prioritizing access to nature and a more sustainable quality of life over the pace of city living. 

Top 20 cities with the highest number of move-outs: 

 1. Los Angeles, CA 

 2. Northern CA (San Francisco area) 

 3. South Florida (Miami area) 

 4. Long Island, NY 

 5. Austin, TX 

 6. Central Jersey, NJ 

 7. Chicago, IL 

 8. San Diego, CA 

 9. Stockton-Modesto, CA 

10. Hudson Valley, NY 

11. Santa Barbara, CA

12. Denver, CO

13. Boston, MA

14. Baltimore, MD

15. Hartford, CT

16. Portland, OR

17. Fresno, CA

18. Bakersfield, CA

19. Northern New Jersey

20. Minneapolis, MN

By Sabrina Artusa

The Town of Huntington Planning Board rescinded preliminary approval for a development proposal in Halesite located at 78 Bay Ave. and 211 Vineyard Road. The developer, Vineyard Bay Estates LLC, proposed an eight-home subdivision to be built in on a 4-acre plot.

The board approved the application in February and has received ardent community pushback since its passing. The development sits on 10 acres of wooded, hilly land — an area the community says has immense environmental and cultural significance. The developers plan to preserve the remaining land.

Nathan Hale Nature Preserve filed a lawsuit against the Town of Huntington Planning Board and Vineyard Bay Estates in March, claiming that the Planning Board’s SEQRA declaration of significance is erroneous and lacking “a rational basis.” 

Paul Thomson, member of the Nathan Hale Nature Preserve, said that the Planning Board, instead of filing a pre populated environmental assessment form (EAF), the developer printed their own form which gave an “incomplete” analysis of the property and the impacts of development.

“We want this process restarted in good faith and we want to be able to publicly comment on this process going forward,” Thomson said. “And that they take a hard look under SEQRA to see if environmental impact statements are necessary.”

The formal EAF states that the area is sensitive for archaeological sites, but the developer’s form submitted that it was not a sensitive area.

At a June meeting the developer’s lawyer, Michael McCarthy, argued against an environmental review. The community, including Thomson, presented their concerns to the board, which included the fact that the area could hold significance to Native Americans. 

“​​If I need to supplement the EAF [Part 1], I’ll supplement the EAF,” McCarthy said at the meeting. “If I need to, you know, correct something that was a box that was checked wrong, we’ll will check the box correctly.” He went on to note that he does not believe a full environmental impact study is necessary.

In February, the Planning Board accepted the environmental review and the application simultaneously without allowing time for a public hearing. 

Lisa Perillo, attorney for Nathan Hale Nature Preserve, wrote in a letter to the board that the full effects of construction on such a steep slope have not been properly examined. 

“We don’t understand why the priority is to develop as opposed to protect, and we think the Town of Huntington has made it very clear in its voting process that we want environmental space and these sleeping slopes protected,” Thomson said.

He added, “Let the chips fall where they fall, we just want it done according to the law and according to the procedures.”

Thomson and the rest of the nonprofit’s members are also concerned the endangered northern long-eared bats would be put in danger by development. 

Last October, Thomson said he brought the issue to the attention of the town’s Environmental Open Space & Park Fund Advisory Committee, which advises the Town Board on buying and preserving open space. The committee reportedly agreed that the property should be preserved. 

According to Newsday, McCarthy and Planning Board attorney Ed Gathman have entered into a stipulation agreement to reset the approval process.

By Evan McAteer

DestinationKP is a relatively newly proposed development that is aiming to establish three things: a sports center for Long Island-based youth, an expansive medical center and commercial retail opportunities.

Kelly Murphy, executive director and CEO of the Suffolk County IDA. Photo courtesy Suffolk County IDA

The two groups spearheading the project are Prospect Sports Partners of New York and Agape Community Sports Services of San Antonio, Texas.

According to a Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency press release dated July 8, the IDA has agreed to support the ongoing development and that DestinationKP will be the “largest privately-owned, mixed-use sports and medical complex in the tri-state region.”

Located at 350 Old Northport Road, Kings Park, approximately 44.5 acres of land will be transformed into a “state-of-the-art regional tourist destination for sporting events, camps and tournaments.”

In a general overview of the project, DestinationKP is expected to cost upward of $92 million, and create more than 100 full-time employment opportunities. As a hub for visitors and tourists alike, the project would create steady tax revenue, as well.

In specific terms, DestinationKP will consist of six, multipurpose outdoor playing fields, and one practice field. For indoor sports, a 63,900-square-foot facility will be built, with 10 regulation basketball courts, three indoor multipurpose fields and a concessions complex. 

While Agape Community Sports Services will be handling the development of the sports-oriented facilities, Prospect Sports Partners is set to lead the commercial/medical center’s construction. This medical office building will stand on 50,000 square-feet.

According to the press release, the IDA plans on supporting the medical center’s construction: “The more-than $22.5 million investment will be leased to a tenant specializing in providing medical care, rehabilitation services and other sports-related uses to become a sports medical hub and regional tourism destination. Moreover, the complex also received a significant amount of support from the Suffolk County Economic Development Corporation through $52 million in nontaxable bonds and $17.5 million in taxable bonds.”

The economics are sound and offer traveling families a “regional sports and tourism destination,” according to Kenny Henderson, a co-owner of Prospect Sports Partners.

DestinationKP has three objectives, the first of which is offering Long Island youth a place to safely gather and engage in organized recreational sports. 

Kelly Murphy, executive director and CEO of Suffolk County IDA, said, “This groundbreaking project aims to provide our local youth, especially those encountering socio-economic obstacles, with access to organized sports opportunities that were once unavailable to them.” 

The second objective is creating an economically stimulating project for local Long Island workers.

Murphy added, “The Suffolk IDA is proud to support this project that fulfills a significant need for our children and families, while providing high-quality job opportunities as well as substantial revenue generation for local businesses and taxing jurisdictions.”

The third goal of DestinationKP is the encouragement for tourism within Long Island broadly, and near the community itself.

“Any Long Island family who has children in competitive sports will tell you about the challenges and expenses associated with traveling to out-of-state tournaments,” Murphy said. “Having this asset in our region will be an enormous draw and become a sought-after destination that will keep the economic benefits of the complex’s numerous activities and offerings right here in Suffolk County.”

Highlighting Suffolk County IDA’s Long Island First policy,” which prioritizes in-community spending and supports local businesses, DestinationKP stands as an important supporter. The project itself does not have an expected completion date, but construction and funding are well underway. More information about DestinationKP and its developers can be found at the website: www.destinationkp.com.
