It Only Takes Two To Rock For Local H SPOTLIGHT By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

When frontman Scott Lucas lost the bass and lead guitar players of his band, Local H, he had a hard time finding replacements in the small town of Zion, Illinois. “The only bass players that we knew had mullets and mustaches,” Lucas said. The local options didn’t exactly fit with Local H’s image as an alternative rock band in the early’90s, so Lucas decided to “find a way to do it without a bass player.” Lucas decided to continue Local H as a “two-piece,” and in the processes pioneered the two-man band format with drummer Joe Daniels. In 1996 Local H released their best-known certified gold album “As Good as Dead,” which reached the top five in the U.S. Alternative Billboard Chart. In 2013, Lucas brought on drummer Ryan Harding as Local H’s second member, and the duo is set to take the stage at The Paramount in Huntington next month as part of the Summerland tour featuring Everclear. Once Local H decided to transition to a two-piece band in 1993, Lucas, now 48, said he had to figure out how to write songs that fit the band’s new framework. “You learn how to write a song for two people and make it not boring, and that’s something I’m still figuring out,” Lucas said. Lucas added a bass pickup to his guitar and began performing the guitar and bass parts. “It’s a process of finding the right gear and finding the right pedal set up so that nobody out there goes, ‘Man, I wish this band had a bass player,’ or, ‘I wish this band had another guitar player,’” Lucas said. A Local H live show leaves fans feeling alive, Lucas said, with an edge that he described as “slightly dangerous.” “What I prefer are shows that

have a kind of spark, there’s an electricity to the atmosphere,” he said. “The idea that anything can happen.”

Scott Lucas, right, and Ryan Harding of Local H will take the stage on June 3 as part of the Summerland Tour at The Paramount in Huntington.

Film students will get the chance to show off their cinematic skills in front of a live audience during the ninth annual Huntington High School student film festival. The student film festival, which has been hosted at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington for the past seven years, is the culmination of a year’s worth of work by students in Huntington High School’s video program. Heather Swan, who has been teaching the video program at the high school for the last 12 years, said Huntington’s program is unique in that it offers yearlong classes for grades 9-12. “We wanted to figure out a good way to highlight the best projects the kids have been doing all year, and make it accessible to their families and the community,” Swan said.

EDUCATION

Hills Biz Student Is ‘Top 10 In The World’ Half Hollow Hills High School East sophomore William Banai competed against students from all over the world at the 2018 DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC) in Atlanta, and had a “Top 10 In The World” finish in his category of the Principles of Business Administration. More than 10,000 DECA members demonstrated their college and career knowledge and skills at the international event by participating in DECA’s Competitive Events Program. Banai won a medal in the Principles of Business Administration after completing a rigorous 100 question exam and two roleplay speeches that were focused on management and leadership decision, where he played the role of the manager. He was given only ten minutes to prepare each speech, and 10 minutes to present each of them. “No organization brings the healthy mix of business and competition to life better than DECA,” said Banai. “From marketing to sports management, students have a unique opportunity to explore the always relevant realm of business and prepare for their futures. It’s a great hands on experience, and I recommend starting as early as possible.” The DECA ICDC event brought together 18,000 high school students, advisors, businesspersons and alumni to help them network, share knowledge and develop skills for colleges and careers. In addition to the competitive events, ICDC offers their participants access to college and career exhibits, an emerging leader series on 21st Century skill-building, and professional development for advisors. “The hard work and dedication of our DECA students directly led to what they accomplished at the International Competition, and throughout the year,” said Joseph Cappiello, a teacher in the business department at Hills East and advisor for their DECA chapter. “Congratulations to William for finishing Top 10 in the world in his category. What an exciting accomplishment!” With a nearly 70-year history, DECA has impacted the lives of more than ten million students, educators, school administrators and business professionals since it was founded in 1946. Its 3,500 high school chapters prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.

Half Hollow Hills High School East was also represented at the ICDC by Banai’s fellow DECA members Sydni Berkenfeld, Brooke Blumberg, Samantha Hammer, Morgan Novikoff, and Alec Schmigelski.

THE FOODIES By Connor Beach cbeach@longislandergroup.com

A recent health food trend, the acai bowl, is becoming a powerhouse in Huntington. Several eateries have added to their menu the bowls, which include the acai berry, a “super fruit” native to northern and central South America that is rich in antioxidants. Real Food, Real People has been serving up acai bowls and other healthy menu options since September, and owner Lauren Lavoro said Huntington’s millennial crowd has flocked to the shop. Lavoro, 23, of Massapequa, said members of her generation, who are “more health conscious,” made up a majority of the eatery’s initial clientele. However, as word of the health benefits and delicious taste of the acai bowls have become more widely known, a more diverse clientele have been coming in to try what the shop has to offer. Lavoro said her shop’s signature acai bowl is one of those things that “you can’t see and taste without liking it.” Social media spurred the acai berry’s popularity as a health food, Lavoro said, and she decided to feature the fruit on her menu because the health benefits reflected her desire to live a positive lifestyle. “We wanted to take back control of our minds and our bodies,” she said. “We wanted to know exactly what we were putting into it, and that meant real food with real ingredients.” Lavoro had trouble finding anywhere to eat when she made the decision to become a vegan, which inspired her to open a place of her own. “I got fed up with all the processed food and all the additives,” Lavoro said. While almost all restaurants try to market the appearance of their food, Real Food, Real People is trying to change the way people think about health food and the way it should look. “We care about each customer, we care about each dish and we care about the way it looks

when it comes outs,” Lavoro said. By far the most popular and visually stunning dish on the menu is the Acai Smoothie Bowl, which is served in a pineapple ($13) and features organic acai blended with strawberries, blueberries and banana topped with strawberries, blueberries, banana, granola, coconut and honey. The cool, refreshing blend of fruit has a sweet berry taste, and the granola adds a much-needed

crunch to the dish that complements the texture of the smoothie. With warmer weather approaching, the acai bowl promises to be the perfect relief on a hot summer afternoon. Lavoro said she wants Real Food, Real People to become more than just a place to get a healthy bite. She said, “I want everyone to feel like this is somewhere where they can go away and get healthy food and have a healthy mind.”

SPORTS By Connor Beach

Springtime on the North Shore of Long Island brings warm weather and beautiful views of historic towns and pristine hills, and what better way to experience the sights, sounds and smells of Long Island than from the seat of a bicycle. Since 1982, the Huntington Bicycle Club has hosted organized bike rides every weekend. Originally founded by friends who wanted a structured group of cyclists to ride with, the club has grown to nearly 300 members with varying levels of ability. Although many of the members are Huntington residents, HBC Board Member and Easy Ride Captain Dan Panzerbeck said cycling enthusiasts from Queens to the east end of Long Island come to Huntington to ride. “There are plenty of beautiful places to ride,” Panzerbeck said. “Over the years we have developed routes that go through roads that are absolutely stunning.” The HBC is not only for experienced riders who want to ride at a race pace for long distances, club vice-president and ride chairman John Greene said. The club hosts multiple rides each weekend that range from A, or very advanced, to B, C and even EZ Riders. “A lot of our members are in the

lower levels,” Greene said. Panzerbeck said the EZ Riders, a program he initiated three years ago, is a great way for people to get started in the club who, like he was when he joined, might be a little out of shape. “I thought there must be a lot of people out there like me who might be a little intimidated about the fancy bicycles and clothing,” Panzerbeck said. “If you’ve got a pair of wheels,

a helmet and a spare tire, then you can ride with us.” The EZ Riders start out traveling about eight miles at eight miles per hour, a pace Panzerbeck said almost anyone can keep up with. After just a couple of weeks many riders are able to progress into a C group. “They can ride on anything they have whether it be a mountain bike or a hybrid bike. The EZ rides are very

non-judgmental,” Greene said. An experienced club member serves as the ride leader for every ride, and besides choosing the best routes down less traveled roads, they also offer tips and provide an important level of safety, especially for newer riders. C ride captain Susan Farren said bike riding is a great way to get fit without stress that activities like running can put on your joints, and, like anything else “you get out of it what you put in.” Farren said main ride season starts in April and usually wraps up around the end of November, and the HBC holds its major fundraiser the Gold Coast Tour on July 15 in the heart of the season. The majority of the club’s ride leave from the parking lot on Smith Street in Greenlawn, and you can find a ride there every Saturday, Sunday and holiday morning. Farren, Greene and Panzerbeck all agreed that, whatever your reason for joining the club, it’s the camaraderie that will keep you coming back week after week. Anyone interested in learning more about the club can attend the 7:30 p.m., May 23 information meeting at the Harborfields Library or visit their website at Hbcli.org.

For over 20 years, Wholistic Wellness Center on Wall Street in Huntington village has been offering relief to people experiencing pain and stress using a wide range of treatment techniques. Doctor Michael Posner, who operates the center with his wife, Lois, said the treatment approach at the center is “always wholistic” in order to address and treat the underlying causes of patients’ problems. Posner, of Huntington, earned his doctor of chiropractic from the New York Chiropractic College, and has 35 years of experience combining his skills as a chiropractor with massage therapy to get better results for his patients. “What makes us outstanding is that there’s a doctor on staff, and we can really evaluate the patient,” Posner said. “We have very seasoned therapists, and we maintain very high standards.” Posner called massage and chiropractic a “match made in heaven,” but said that the Wholistic Wellness Center could integrate additional treatment methods depending on the needs of the patient. “Expert massage therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, nutrition, weight loss, laser therapy, body contouring all work in conjunction with each other,” Posner said. As massage is one of the major treatments at Wholistic Wellness Center, Posner said they offer a number of different types of massage to coincide with a patient’s needs. He also said that more and more medical doctors are prescribing massage as an alternative to surgery. Another alternative treatment method to surgery that the center offers is laser therapy. “If you tear a tendon or a muscle the laser can repair it as long as it’s not completely torn,” Posner said. “It doesn’t just get rid of the pain and inflammation, it actually rehabilitates tissue and heals it.” The ability to offer a diverse scope of treatments allows Posner and the staff at the Wholistic Wellness Center to evaluate patients who are suffering from a number of different conditions. “Obviously we treat musculoskeletal conditions, but we also get people with neurological conditions, such as sciatica, nerve pain or numbness sensations,”

Doctor Provides A Wholistic Approach For Patients

Dr. Michael Posner has 35 years of experience combining his skills as a chiropractor with a variety of other treatment methods to bring relief to patients in Huntington.

Posner said. “We deal with everything from headaches and inflammation to spasms and sport injuries.” Posner stressed that the staff’s priority at the center is to “treat people, not conditions.” Treating people often requires a more in depth evaluation than simply finding out where a patient has pain. “When we look at people we look at their lifestyle; how they eat, how they think, what their emotions are, what their posture is like and their professions. We have to understand you as a person and the way you live,” Posner said. Posner said he prides himself on the personal level of care that each patient receives at the Wholistic Wellness Center, including the education about their condition that they might not receive elsewhere. He said, “We try to educate people about what health and wellness means, and teach them how to help themselves in their own life so they don’t just have to depend on us.”

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Paper Doll Curiosity Shoppes Dominique Maciejka, owner of Paper Doll Curiosity Shoppes and Paper Doll Vintage Boutique, has always embraced history, art and uniqueness. She’s the daughter of Polish immigrants; her father was a business owner and her mother loved antiques and took Maciejka to estate sales. This is when Maciejka began being drawn to vintage clothing, and by age 14 she began selling vintage on eBay. She did this throughout middle school and high school.

Maciejka then pursued an art degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. While living in Chicago, she consigned to several consignment shops, where she learned a bit of the brick and mortar end of selling clothing. Once she moved back to New York, Maciejka began collecting her own inventory and doing research on starting her own shop. In 2012, she partnered with Joseph Laspina to open Paper Doll Vintage Boutique in Sayville.

Since then, Paper Doll Vintage Boutique has won as Long Island’s Best Vintage Clothing store for six consecutive years! In addition, Maciejka and Laspina have opened Paper Doll Curiosity Shoppe in Patchogue and also in Huntington, newly located at 372 New York Avenue. The shops embrace vintage, uniqueness and individuality. They also host art shows, fashion shows, retro styling workshops and classes that support local artists. Maciejka looks forward to contin-

uing to create unique shops and experiences for customers, and to support the Long Island arts and creative community.

b u s in e s s Turning A Sale Of Your Business Into A Charitable Legacy By Peter J. Klein, CFA, CRPS, CAP pklein@hightoweradvisors.com

Trillions of dollars of wealth in private businesses created by the Baby Boomer generation will be changing hands over the next several years. Total donations from individuals increased 4 percent from the prior year and we believe this year over year percentage increase will continue to rise. Combining these two spheres can establish a legacy for the family for generations to come. This newly-found liquid wealth will most likely create new lifestyles and accomplish significant goals, including giving to charity in a magnitude that was always desired but previously limited. Those business owners with C-corps who are nearing retirement and desire a business exit can use their C-corp shares as a powerful tool in securing tax savings and turning previously locked wealth into a charitable good.

Unlocking the wealth of C-corp shares for charitable use – a plan:

• Owner donates shares of his or her business into a charitable vehicle, such as a donor advised fund (DAF) or Private Foundation, prior to the close of the business sale. • The value of the C-corp shares is deductible at the fair market value on the contribution date. The value would need to be determined by a qualified appraisal. • The appraisal must occur within 60 days before the date of the donation and not past the date of the donor’s tax return for the year that the gift is being made. • The shareholder agreements must be reviewed to determine the specifics concerning allowable transfers, timing, and required processes or restrictions concerning how the C-corp shares can be transferred to a charitable vehicle. By following this path the donor not only achieves tax savings but also initiates a charitable legacy: • The donor can receive an immediate tax deduction in the year that the contribution is made to the

DAF. The IRS does mandate some limitations, depending upon the adjusted gross income (AGI) of the donor and as such it is best to discuss this strategy with your CPA as well. • The donor will incur no capital gains tax on gifts of their C-corp shares provided that they held them longer than one year. • The investments in a DAF or PF can appreciate tax-free. Often, the donor’s financial advisor can still manage these charitable assets. So, let’s fast forward a couple of years: The family is sitting around the Thanksgiving table – three generations, possibly – and the patriarch and matriarch are filled with joy hearing from their kids and grandkids about the good work they are doing with this legacy. Volunteering at the family’s favorite charities, learning about different investment strategies and enhancing communication skills – all while doing good for society. The parents look at each other and smile – a life well lived and a legacy for the future. This enormous transfer of wealth – a portion eventually taking the form

of charitable donations – will involve processes that will require experienced, skilled and trusted advisors. Crafting a charitable giving strategy, with the consultation of a professional, will be the standard, not just an alternative. What can be accomplished in the years leading up to a sale and what can be done the moment the private business has turned its value into cash? How can an advisor help you optimize charitable giving with the proper vehicles, structure and sound advice? The bottom-line is: professional advice makes a big difference.
