Walk This Way To See Pump SPOTLIGHT

In 2012 veteran musician Frank Tassielli felt he had the opportunity to satisfy a longtime passion and fill a void in the New York music market. Tassielli, a bass player from Port Jefferson, formed the Aerosmith tribute band, Pump. Tassielli is joined on stage by band mates Bobby Mann, who plays the role of Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler, drummer Steve McCluskey, guitarist Johnny Flagg, and Marcello Diablo on lead guitar. “The genesis of the idea was to do an Aerosmith tribute band, and I felt like no one else was doing an Aerosmith tribute band around Long Island or the tristate area,” Tassielli said. Pump, which takes its name from the title of one of Aerosmith’s best-selling albums, plays songs from the entire catalog of Aerosmith hits. Tassielli said the band enjoys mixing in a few of the lesser known songs like “Adam’s Apple” that “diehards like our-
selves will appreciate,” but that they can’t leave a gig without playing the classics like “Dream On,” “Sweet Emotion,” “Walk This Way,” “What It Takes” and “Love in an Elevator.” “The people who come to hear us play really love Aerosmith’s music, and that is a really great motivational tool for us,” Tassielli said. Tassielli said the “longevity” of Aerosmith means that the fans that come to see them represent a wide range of age groups. “Its one of those bands that goes on from generation to generation because parents pass it on to their kids,” he said. A good tribute band’s legitimacy starts with their musical ability, but Tassielli said Pump also works in the different style of looks that Steve Tyler had over the course of his career. “It’s got to be the music first because if the music doesn’t sound right then it doesn’t matter what you wear on stage or how much you move around,” Tassielli said. “But the stage presence is equally important.” Pump is set to play a 40-minute set at The Paramount as the opener for Guns N’ Roses tribute band Appetite For Destruction, and Tassielli said the band is “very excited” for the Paramount show. “It’s a great place to have on our resume,” he said.
Aerosmith tribute band Pump will perform on June 1 for a 40-minute session of classic rock at The Paramount in Huntington.
“After six years of doing this it’s definitely an accomplishment.” Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show on Friday, June 1. Tickets range from $10-$35 and can be purchased at the box office or online at Paramountny.com.

Camera Club Fights Cancer With Photos
By Connor Beach
cbeach@longislandergroup.com
After Harry Schuessler’s daughter was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma five years ago, Schuessler was determined to do something to fight back. “We both decided to turn our energies towards creating a positive experience,” Schuessler said. Schuessler, a member of the Huntington Camera Club, turned to his fellow photography enthusiasts for help. Schuessler approached the clubs board of directors with an idea to auction off any old photographs that the membership might have gathering dust in basements or garages as a way to raise money for cancer research. “The Huntington Camera Club enthusiastically got behind the idea,” Schuessler said. In 2015 the first Photography Fights Cancer Auction was held at John Glenn High School in Elwood, and, although his daughter is now a cancer survivor, support for the auction has grown every year. Last week the Huntington Camera Club hosted the fourth annual auction at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington, and Marc F. Alter, the event’s director of publicity, said between 75 and 100 pictures where supplied by the camera club for the auction. “It has just grown and grown,” Alter said. “We are getting much bet-
ter images, more people are becoming aware of it and the Cinema Arts Centre has been a fantastic host.” Schuessler said the event has raised over $25,000 for cancer research. This year the money will be donated to Memorial Slone Kettering Cancer Center. Both Schuessler and Alter said the membership of the Huntington Camera Club has been extremely supportive of the event. “Everyone in the club has been either personally or has had a family member who was touched by cancer. It’s one of those diseases where everybody knows somebody who was affected,” Schuessler said. A committee of members from the camera club meets each year around January to start planning ways to make the event more popular and raise more funds. This year Alter said an online auction site was set up where people could also purchase photographs to benefit cancer research. Schuessler said the auction’s success is a result of the hard work and generosity of the Huntington Camera Club’s members. He said, “They are very generous and are always looking to get involved in outreach and community activities.” Plans are already underway for next year’s auction, and Schuessler said he is hoping it will be the most successful yet.

SCIENCE
Lab Professor Named To Cancer Research Group’s Board Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory professor Dr. David Tuveson has spent his career studying pancreatic cancer, a disease that takes the lives of over 40,000 Americans a year. His work identifying new diagnostic and treatment strategies for this highly-lethal cancer was recently honored by the American Association of Cancer Research, which has named him to its board of directors. “It is a great honor to join distinguished colleagues on the association’s board of directors,” Tuveson said. “I look forward to opportunities to help the association pursue its mission of advancing the understanding of cancer etiology, prevention, diag-
nosis, and treatment.” Along with four other worldrenowned cancer researchers, Tuveson began his term at the AACR’s annual meeting in Chicago, which was held April 14-18. While there, Tuveson presented his research in a talk titled “The Tumor Microenvironment Promotes and Sustains Pancreatic Cancer.” Tuveson was also recently appointed chief scientist of the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research. He’s also the director of CSHL’s National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center, and the Roy J. Zuckerberg Professor of Cancer Research at the laboratory.

THE FOODIES By Connor Beach
cbeach@longislandergroup.com
In a town where restaurants often come and go, Jonathan’s Ristorante has remained a constant in Huntington village for over two decades. Jonathan’s has been turning out delicious Northern Italian fare while constantly maintaining a delicate balance of traditional classic dishes and innovative new flavors. This culinary balancing act happens under the watchful eye of owner Roberto Oronato, who opened Jonathan’s 24 years ago. The native Roman travels back to Italy every year for inspiration and as a way to stay in touch with his classic influences. The food at Jonathan’s has been served out of executive chef Tito Onofre’s kitchen for the last 21 years, and manager Alex Vergara has overseen everything from menu preparation to the details of service for 10 years. The experienced trio constantly bounce ideas off one another and strive to be the best. Oronato brings the classic Italian roots, while Vergara is always looking to build a new clientele. “It’s a blending of the minds, and we find a happy medium,” Vergara said. “We are always trying to reinvent ourselves while still keeping the classics on the menu.” Oronato prides himself on building a great wine list, and the restaurant’s monthly wine dinners are a perfect opportunity to try new wines paired with off-menu dishes from the kitchen. “It’s a chance to try wines you don’t regularly drink with foods you don’t usually find on the menu,” Vergara said. With spring and summer quickly approaching, Jonathan’s is revamping its menu to include new dishes, wines and cocktails that reflect the warmer weather. Onofre ensures that the kitchen always turns out refined, well thought out dishes that are made with the best ingredients, and the same approach is applied to some innovative new cocktails. Jonathan’s happy hour, Sunday to Friday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., features some new specials that are made with the same care as the restaurants most expensive dishes. The Arancini ($4 during happy hour and $10 on the menu) are mushroom risotto fried rice balls served with a truffle aioli. The decadent morsels are the perfect bar snack with a addicting crunch on the outside that gives way to a rich, creamy risotto that melts in your mouth. Also available on Jonathan’s bar

Spring Additions Go With The Classics At Jonathan’s
Salmon ($28) is served with a heirloom potato and string bean salad and a dill vinaigrette.
Executive chef Tito Onofre and manager Alex Vergara are making changes to the Jonathan’s menu in time for the warmer spring and summer weather.
Rich, creamy Burrata ($15) with peach, heirloom tomato and crispy kale.
menu is the Polenta Cake ($9) with sautéed mushrooms and truffle oil and the Mozzarella Caprese ($10) served with tomato and basil. The polenta cake is a perfect combination of texture from the mushrooms and the polenta, while the caprese is a classic dish that looks simple yet still provides a complex, light and fresh bite for spring. New spring additions to Jonathan’s appetizer menu include Insalata di Cocomero ($12), a watermelon salad with mint, onions, cucumber and ricotta salata and the Burrata ($15) served with heirloom tomato, peach and crispy kale. The unique ingredients and flavors in both dishes highlight Onofre’s experience and creativity in the kitchen. Under pasta, the Linguine Nere ($14 app, $26 main course) is a throwback that is back on the menu. The dish features squid ink linguini, shrimp, and a spicy San Marzano tomato sauce. The beautiful dish has just the right amount

of spice so as not to overpower the flavor of the pasta and the shrimp. Salmon ($28), the first of three new main courses on Jonathan’s menu, is served with a heirloom potato and string bean salad and a dill vinaigrette that adds bright spring color and flavor to the dish. Branzino ($31) is served in a new style fried whole with a frisee, fennel and apple salad. This classic Mediterranean dish screams summer. The crispy skin from the fish compliments the light, fresh salad. Lastly, Anatra alle More ($28) features Long Island duck breast served with farro, Brussels sprouts and blackberry sauce. The duck is perfectly cooked, and the sprouts are good enough to warrant a dish of their own. A trip to Jonathan’s is always an opportunity to try delicious food and learn about Italian flavors from a staff whose goal has been pleasing customers for over 20 years.

Go For A Float At Lift
cbeach@longislandergroup.com
It’s not often in today’s world that we get a chance to disconnect from technology or take a break from the constant access to stimuli from cell phones and computers, yet one of Huntington village’s newest businesses is looking to provide a place where customers can come to get away from the stresses of the outside world. Lift Floats, a floatation therapy center, opened its doors on Gerard Street in Huntington in March. Lift/Next Level Floats co-owner Gina Antioco opened the first Lift location in Brooklyn in May 2015. She said John C. Lilly pioneered the idea of sensory deprivation floatation in the 1950’s, and the practice became popular during the 1980’s. A session at Lift entails entering a small chamber to float for an hour in about one foot of water that is mixed with Epsom salts, all while being deprived of light and sound.
The Ocean Float Room is equipped with a shower, for before and after your float, and the float chamber where the water contains 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt, so floating is effortless.
Antioco, a “passionate floater” herself, said that she decided to open Lift Brooklyn because “we realized that stressed New Yorkers needed access to this amazing modality.” “The opening of Lift Brooklyn was part of a resurgence in the commer-

cial float industry which has been growing exponentially over the past few years,” Antioco said. The success of the Brooklyn location prompted the company to consider expanding onto Long Island, Antioco said, and Huntington seemed like the perfect candidate for Lift. “Huntington was an easy choice for a second location given the residents’ passion for healthy living and appreciation for wellness - not to mention their love of water,” Antioco said. “Our welcome to the village has been extremely warm so we are very excited to be here.” Lift’s 1,400-square-foot Huntington location contains a lounge and four private Ocean Float Rooms where customers can spend an hour floating in complete silence and darkness. Each room is equipped with a shower, for before and after your float, and the float chamber. The water contains 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt, so floating is effortless. After entering the water, which is kept at skin temperature, the lights and soothing music slowly fade away leaving the floater in a state of sensory deprivation. After the hour-long float, the lights and music slowly reemerge to alert the customer that their time is up. Customers can then
take a second shower to clean the salt off before heading back to their daily routine or taking some time to relax in the lounge. Antioco said the benefits of floating are different for each person, but include “fewer aches and pains, a better night’s sleep, lower stress, or simply an opportunity to disconnect from our sensory overloaded lives.” Antioco said the community interest in Huntington is growing as more people try floating at Lift, and that the company’s goal is to continue to make floatation therapy more widely available. “When we first opened in Brooklyn in 2015, we put out a street sign asking, ‘aren’t you curious?’ That sign encouraged more foot traffic than I could have ever imagined,” Antioco said. “With the overwhelming interest we have received since we opened here in Huntington it seems that three years later the answer is still a unanimous ‘yes I am.’”

It’s Time To Improve On Business Etiquette By Mindy Wolfle
info@longislandergroup.com
Once again I feel compelled to broach the topic of “business etiquette.” Enter those two words in your browser and you’ll find any number of seminars, courses, things you need to know, tips and guides. Personally, I don’t think we need instructions for behaving appropriately in a business setting. Apparently I am wrong, based on situations I and others have encountered. So, here goes: • A business person attends a seminar. Speakers on a panel are experts on their respective topic. Yet, an attendee finds it necessary to weigh in several times with lengthy comments, some personal and some professional. The information shared is neither of interest to the rest of the attendees nor necessarily correct. A panelist or moderator can do just so much to control this kind of behavior, even asking attendees to hold their questions or comments to the end of the program. The point is: If it’s not your program, listen more and comment less. • You’re at a gathering of business people. There is a set program, wellplanned and geared to the amount of time booked at the venue. Two attendees converse between themselves and pay greater attention to their smartphone keyboards than the rest of the group, regardless of what else is going on. One of the attendees – not the same person in the above example – goes into a rambling story, out of context with the rest of the program. The point is: Make plans to meet outside of a group event for personal conversations; step aside from the group, if you must attend to texts, emails or calls. • What has happened to the simple expressions “thank you” and “you’re welcome?” Have you heard “no problem” enough to let out a scream? Somehow, expressions of gratitude are barely making it into emails anymore. The thank you note in an envelope with a stamp affixed? For those in the know, it’s not a thing of the past. But for the majority of business people, it’s overlooked and undervalued. It’s no surprise that when one receives a “proper” thank you, it is remembered. The point is: Apprecia-
tion sets impressive contacts and colleagues apart from the rest of the bunch. In the words of Judith Martin, better known as “Miss Manners,” “Etiquette is all human social behavior. If you’re a hermit on a mountain, you don’t have to worry about etiquette; if somebody comes up the
mountain, then you’ve got a problem. It matters because we want to live in reasonably harmonious communities.” Mindy Wolfle is the president of Neptune Marketing LLC and chief marketing officer of Vishnick McGovern Milizio LLP. She is a board
member of the Social Media Association and a member of Women Economic Developers of Long Island and Public Relations Professionals of Long Island. Her LinkedIn profile describes her as a marketing/public relations/social media executive, writer, editor, educator, connection maker, semiotician and do-gooder.

A Word About Our Merger And A Note On Corporate Tax Law By Jon L. Ten Haagen, CFP ® asktheexpert@longislandergroup.com
I hope you are all having a good May and it looks like we finally gotten a real spring. I have been looking for a long time for the right person(s) to merge my company with. The wait is over and I would like to introduce you now – shortly we will have a more complete article specifically about our new venture. I am in the process of bringing in two young men as part of my ‘business succession plan’. Rick Betancourt and Andrew Hollingsworth are both CFPs and CPA enrolled agents. I have no interest in retiring, however; it makes sense for me to bring in younger people now so that my clients, friends and potential future clients can get to know them and feel comfortable with their knowledge and experience for the day when I may not be here for you. As an introduction, I have asked Andrew to put together an article on the new Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction which will affect many smaller businesses going forward. Please read the Article and if it pertains to you speak with your CPA or call Andrew and/or Rick to discuss the details of this and other new tax laws – as follows: "With the April 15 tax filing deadline (or in this year's case, April 17) now come and gone, it may seem like an inopportune time to discuss taxes, since many people tend to only think about this rather unpleasant topic when their W-2s and 1099s start rolling in
every January. However, tax planning can and should be a year-round practice, and this is especially true with the passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 last December, which enacted the most comprehensive tax legislation overhaul since the mid-1980's. While much of the press over this new law had been on individual income taxes, the focus of this article will be on the business side of things, as there is one new deduction available to many small business that could have a major impact on their tax burden, namely, the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction. This new deduction allows businesses (other than C-corporations) to take a deduction of up to 20% of the "qualified business income" of the business on the owner's personal tax return. In essence, after the business has calculated its net income as it normally would, the QBI deduction allows the business to take an additional deduction of up to 20% of that number before arriving at taxable income. The deduction is available to sole proprietors who file Schedule C, S-corporations, and partnerships and LLCs who file as partnerships on federal form 1065. A free 20% deduction on top of the all the normal business deductions sure sounds great - and make no mistake, it is - but like all tax legislation, it's not quite that simple, and several key aspects are still awaiting IRS guidance on how the new law will be applied. There are also a host of rules and potential income phase outs that apply, and this is where the tax planning aspect comes in. If you are a small business owner, you must be aware of the QBI deduction and how to take ad-
vantage of it, as it could potentially save you a significant amount in federal taxes. The first limitation of the QBI deduction is the W-2 wage limitation. The deduction is limited to 50% of the total wages paid by the business. However, this limitation does not apply if the total taxable income of the business owner is less than $315,000 for married filing joint return (MFJ) or $157,500 for all others; if income exceeds these levels, the limitation phases-in until it applies in full at $415,000 (MFJ) and $207,500 (all others). The second limitation of the QBI deduction is the qualified property limitation. The deduction can also be limited by the sum of 25% of the W-2 wages, plus 2.5% of the basis of all qualified property (generally, depreciable property), but this limitation is complex and beyond the scope of this article. What is more pertinent to many readers is a rather large exclusion of certain types of businesses: "specified service businesses" are specifically excluded from taking the QBI deduction, and include those involving the performance of services in the fields of law, accounting, financial services, and other fields where the reputation or skill of the owner or employee(s) is the principal business asset. However, to those attorneys and CPAs reading this article, all hope is not lost! If your taxable income falls under the thresholds mentioned above ($315,000 MFJ and $157,500 (all others), the specified service business exclusion does not apply, and you are free to take full advantage of the QBI deduction, subject to the other limitations discussed above. The QBI de-
duction is then phased out at the same levels as the W-2 limitation phases in, and is reduced to zero at $415,000 (MFJ) and $207,500 (all others). There are several other important aspects of this deduction, but for planning purposes, it is important to understand what businesses qualify to take advantage of the deduction, and at what income levels phase-outs or limitations start to kick in. If you are a small business owner who may qualify for this deduction, I recommend you consult with your accountant well before the end of the year. There may be certain steps to take ahead of tax time in order to qualify for the QBI deduction, and proper planning could mean the difference between next year's filing season being bearable - or a lot more unpleasant than usual."
