Celebrating Coltrane’s Legacy

By Danny Schrafel dschrafel@longislandergroup.com

Art advocates will celebrate the golden anniversary of John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” with a series of performances at Heckscher Park this Friday as eclectic as the landmark record itself.

Composed in his Dix Hills home in 1965 and regarded by music historians as one of the crowning achievements of jazz music, “A Love Supreme” is known for its global appeal and as “a culmination of his creative energies,” according to Ron Stein, president of the board of directors at the Friends of the Coltrane Home. The notfor-profit agency is dedicated to the preservation of the home in which (Continued on page A16)

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

Museums Partner For Townwide Scavenger Hunt

This one is hiding at Conklin House.

By Carina Livoti clivoti@longislandergroup.com

It’s hunting season at six Huntington museums.

The Whaling Museum in Cold Spring Harbor, the Heckscher Museum of Art, Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery, Huntington Historical Society’s Conklin Barn, Walt Whitman Birthplace and the Huntington Lighthouse Preservation Society have teamed up to host the first “Hunt Around Huntington,” a scavenger hunt for anyone who wants to dig into the community’s rich history.

“I just thought it would be such a great thing to connect all the museums and show people how much Huntington has to offer,” said Cindy Grimm, director of education at the whaling museum.

Participating museums took pictures of two special items in their collections for hunters to find. Participants must visit all six museums and find all 12 items between July 1 and Aug. 31. Participants who find an item receive a stamp from museum staff.

“A lot of times if people go to a museum they might just glance around, but this gives you something particular to really look closely and find that object,” Grimm said.

Hunters who find all 12 items are entered into a raffle. Prizes include baskets and other donated items, with the grand prize a family membership to all six participating museums.

“It’s like the keys to the city,” Grimm said.

Hunters can print out a list on any of the museums’ websites or visit a

Grimm added that the Whaling Museum was planning a more traditional, single-day scavenger hunt in Huntington Bay. “I think at the end of July, we’re do-

ing a Harbor Hunt, which is more of a traditional scavenger hunt where you get points for things. People will have to post selfies to Instagram and you’ll have two hours to find whatever you can find,” she said.

Family Hosts Underprivileged Boy

By Andrew Wroblewski awroblewski@longislandergroup.com

Summertime can get hectic. Just ask Vicky Hochhauser, of Dix Hills.Years ago, a busy summer schedule prevented Vicky and her family from embracing the opportunity to make a difference in the life of an underprivileged child. The chance came through the through the Volunteer Host Family Program of the Fresh Air Fund, a nonprofit agency that has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New

York City children from low-income neighborhoods since 1877.

In July 2014, the Hochhauser family welcomed Tayvon, a boy from Brooklyn, for a week of summer fun.

Hochhauser assured Tayvon that, during his stay, he would be able to cross off most of the activities on a list of things he wanted to do. They included swimming, biking, fishing and going to the beach.

“It’s a great feeling to be able to provide a child the opportunity to be outside in the summer, Hochhauser said in a press release.

Tayvon and the family had so much fun, in fact, that the boy joined the Hochhausers once again over the winter for a week that included ringing in the New Year. And Tayvon will be making the journey to Dix Hills, once again, later this month for another week with the Hochhauser family.

This time, Tayvon will be taking swimming lessons at Dix Hills Park Pool and will attend a New York Mets game with the family’s sons, Evan and Andrew.

“I’m going to have him make another bucket list of what he wants to

do and we’ll do those things too,” Hochhauser said. “People shouldn’t hesitate to host… There’s nothing to be afraid of. You get to spend time with great kids.”

Just like Tayvon, each summer through the Fresh Air Fund’s program, nearly 4,000 inner-city children visit suburban, rural, and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada.

To learn more on how to host one of those children, call Jacqueline Shapiro at 516-702-1203, or visit freshair.org.

MELVILLE

By Danny Schrafel dschrafel@longislandergroup.com

Financial adviser David Gustin has big shoes to fill as the new president of the Melville-East Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce.

But the founding president of the chamber, Michael DeLuise, who is leaving Friday for retirement in Eugene, Oregon, said he’s confident Gustin has what it takes to lead the 350-member organization as its second top dog.

“He’s going to do a great job,” DeLuise said. “He’s really cares about Huntington especially and Long Island.”

It’s a ringing endorsement from DeLuise, who distinguished himself in the worlds of Broadway promotions, public relations and higher education before helping to launch the Melville Chamber in, where he has served as a spokesman and promoter of a business community that included corporate headquarters of banks, technology and communications

Gustin, a financial adviser with Wells Fargo, has been “very involved, very generous, community-

minded guy” and a “major force” in coordinating the Melville Chamber’s annual Business Expo, DeLuise said.

“What I admire most about him is that his priority is giving back to the

community.”

At the Townwide Fund of Huntington, Gustin serves as a first vice president and joined the board in 2011.

“He actively serves on several committees including the golf outing, Thanksgiving run and grantwriting committee. Dave is a huge asset to the Townwide Fund and we are lucky to have him,” said Trish Rongo, executive director of the Townwide Fund.

Gustin is also active in the Foundation for Sight and Sound, for which he has been a board member for the past five years. Foundation Chief Executive Officer Mitch Shapiro said Gustin has organized the foundation’s annual golf outing for the last three years and been a key supporter of the foundation’s signature appeal – the Help America Hear program – which aims to connect needy people with hearing aids.

“He’s been very passionate about helping us raise money and awareness for what we do,” Shapiro said.

TOWN OF HUNTINGTON

5 MPH For July 4

By Andrew Wroblewski awroblewski@longislandergroup.com

Town of Huntington officials announced on Monday that a speed limit will, once again, be enforced in town waters during July 4 fireworks celebrations.

As it has since 2013, a 5 mph speed limit will be in effect from 8:30 p.m.-11 p.m. on July 4, when several fireworks displays are expected to fill Huntington’s skies with colorful chaos.

The speed limit will cover both Northport and Huntington bays, south from the line extending from Target Rock to Buoy One in Coast Guard Cove; it will also be enforced in the Long Island Sound from the easternmost section of the Northport

Power Plant to the westernmost end of the causeway on Asharoken Avenue.

To enforce the speed limit and ensure the safety of boaters, Huntington officials will team up with the Suffolk County Police Department, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Village of Northport harbormaster and police department, the Asharoken police department and the Huntington, Northport, Centerport and Cold Spring Harbor fire departments.

Additionally, while some town facilities will remain open past sunset at 5 p.m. – such as Crab Meadow, West Neck/Quentin Sammis and Hobart beaches and the Soundview Boat Ramp – entry will be limited to town residents on a space-avail-

“On both land and sea, we ask all residents to be respectful of others and to follow the rules for everybody's safety,” Huntington Supervi-

sor Frank Petrone said in press release. “We hope that everyone will enjoy July 4 in a way that is safe for themselves, their families and their guests.”

‘Sheila’s Avengers’ Work To Help Fight Cancer

By Andrew Wroblewski awroblewski@longislandergroup.com

Sheila and Howard Blechner have been married for nearly 32 years.

The Dix Hills couple has enjoyed a great life, Howard said. But in October 2010, that life took a major change. With no warning signs, Sheila she was diagnosed with an incurable case of small lymphocytic lymphoma.

“They say, when you’re diagnosed, the whole family catches cancer at that moment,” Howard said.

“You never forget where you were when you found out.” His wife was soon thrust into chemotherapy to ward off the chronic condition.

That moment changed their lives, but the family wouldn’t allow it paralyze them.

“Incurable doesn’t mean insurmountable,” Sheila explained.

In April 2011, as her cancer went into remission, Sheila and her family began their journey against the diagnosis and, soon, began to help others through their own battles.

Since 2013, the family has helped

raise awareness of blood cancers – such as SLL, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma – through their work with the nonprofit Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Under their fundraising team, “Sheila’s Avengers,” they’ve raised more than $26,000. “[LLS] gave Sheila and our family a place where we could really feel comfortable – where we felt like we were really doing something,” Howard, also a father of two, said.

“At times, we’ve felt powerless going up against this disease, but volunteering for LLS makes us feel like we’re really contributing to find a cure.”

The latest fundraising and awareness event was hosted by the Perennial Gardner in Dix Hills.

On Saturday, patrons of the fullservice garden – which celebrated its grand opening – had a percentage of their purchases collected as a fundraiser for LLS. Despite the rain, Howard called the day a success: $500 was raised, Suffolk Legislator Steve Stern (D-Huntington) paid a visit.

“I thank the Blechner family, and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Keep History in Mind I am very pleased the developer of the southeast corner of Main St. and Park Ave., Dominick Mavellia, has voluntarily changed his application for a zone change from C-4 to C-1. However, some concerns remain. In my opinion the developer’s current design, size and placement of the proposed

building does not conform to the architectural nature of the Old Huntington Green historic district which is primarily residential with a few C-1 parcels that conform to the historic district.

Recent articles quote Mr. Mavellia as saying, “I look forward to working amicably with all those concerned” and “These [the residents] are my neighbors so I don’t

want them to be upset”. Mr. Mavellia claims he is looking forward to working with the Historic Society and architects familiar with historic design in the re-design of his building. It is imperative that the Huntington Planning Board oversee this. As many stated at the hearing, this parcel of land is an important part of the Old Huntington Green historic district. It is

the civic duty of our Town Board to preserve and protect it. Not only is this property an important cornerstone in our history, but to our future in smart development, not overdevelopment.

I attended the meeting the Historic Society held at the Conklin barn on May 14 to inform residents of the potential development of this property.

Mr. Kissam showed the residents in the crowded barn the Historic Society architect’s idea for the development of the property.

The design proposed by the Historic Society would not only be appropriate for the historic district, it would be an asset to the historic district, local community and Township of Huntington.

Their proposed design would fit into the district as if it were always there, as does the real estate building on the northeast corner. Although I support the request for a zone change to C-1, the approval for the development of the property needs to be a cooperative effort and closely monitored since it is in the Old Huntington Green historic district. Finally, I still oppose the proposed use of the building as an urgent care facility and medical offices.

I would like to again point out that two urgent care facilities have opened within the past six months within one and a half miles from this property. Additional medical offices are simply not what is

needed at this site.

CYNTHIA A. SCUDIERI Huntington

Watch Your Language DEAR EDITOR: Contrary to Mindy's SHOUTED statement that "Impact is not a verb", the word impact is indeed both a verb and a noun. How embarrassing that the writer of a business column should be ignorant of such a basic definition. Where were the editors that supposedly check these articles? As both a former English teacher and business manager, I am (and always have been) a stickler for absolute correctness when it comes to English grammar and syntax. In recent years I've found it appalling to see the apparently easy acceptance of errors in spelling and grammar (supposedly "advances" in technology mean one need not bother with these troublesome details). It's bad enough that our current educational system is failing us so miserably, but those of us from previous generations certainly should know better, and should not be complicit in allowing a lowering of standards. I love and appreciate the English language, and just could not let this one go!

Life&Style DIX HILLS

Deana To Sing Dino at Dix Hills Center

By Carina Livoti clivoti@longislandergroup.com

She says it’s part of who she is.

“It’s in my DNA. I love it. I love to perform. When I’m up there, it’s so much fun,” said Deana Martin, daughter of the legendary Rat Pack singer, comedian and all-around showman Dean Martin, who is coming to the Five Towns College Performing Arts Center on July 11.

Martin will perform music made famous by her father and “uncle” Frank Sinatra, but also some of her original tunes and personal anecdotes, giving the audience glimpses of life around some of entertainment’s greatest legends.

“Though my life, I have been in such incredible situations—growing up with Dean Martin as my dad, going to school with the Sinatras, doing the twist with my brother, Dino, for Marilyn Monroe, sitting next to Rosemary Clooney. I got to meet these people and learn from them, and the stories were incredible,” Martin said.

In her show, “Deana Sings DinoMemories Are Made of This,” Martin said audiences can expect a blend of the Great American Songbook music, original pop tunes with a classic flair, video footage of her performing with her father and comedic anecdotes and jokes about everything from her first singing lessons with Sinatra to what it was like to sit in a cold metal chair outside of Capital Records’ Studio A. “It is honoring my dad. I really can’t go do a show without singing ‘Ain’t That a Kick in the Head’ and ‘That’s Amore’,” she said.

The singer landed her first recording contract at age 16. Her 2006 album, “Memories Are Made of This,” remained in the top 10 for 40 consecutive weeks, and her album, “Volare,” debuted at number seven on the Billboard charts in 2009.

Martin’s 2004 memoir, “Memories Are Made of This: Dean Martin Through His Daughter’s Eyes,” was a New York Times bestseller. The book is slated to become a movie starring Jennifer Love Hewitt as

Martin.

Martin said her success has come with practice, commitment, and hard work—her visit to Dix Hills comes in the midst of 280 days of touring this year.

“I had no idea it was going to be this hard—my dad always made it look so easy,” she said with a laugh.

She added that the show has interactive components. She calls up back-up singers from the audience for “Memories Are Made of This.”

While Martin admitted that she had a lot to live up to at times, she said her father’s heavy legacy was mitigated by his overwhelming positive influence, from teaching her and her six siblings the values of individuality and of earning what you get to the littler, everyday lessons children learn from their fathers.

“He was a stickler for time. He wanted to treat people nicely the way he wanted to be treated. So that’s how I’ve lived my life and it has served me well. I’m proud to be Dean Martin’s daughter,” she said.

Martin’s July 11 performance

Deana Martin, daughter of the legendary Rat Pack member Dean Martin, is coming to the Dix Hills Performing Arts Center on July 11. starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $40 to $60. For more information, or to reserve a seat, call 631656-2148, or visit dhpac.org.

Early Women Guardians Of Our Coasts

By Henrietta Schavran info@longislandergroup.com

Women have long been involved in maritime activities and the protection of our coasts. As far back as the Revolutionary War, women performed duties as light keepers when their husbands went to fight for our independence. Early records indicate that the first woman light keeper was Hannah Thomas who, in 1776, took over duties at the Gurnet Point Lighthouse in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Over the centuries, women continued to perform as light keepers when the need arose. Indeed, we are reminded that the last keeper of

the old Huntington Lighthouse at the northern tip of the entrance to Lloyd Harbor was Augusta “Gussie” Harrington, who took care of the old Lighthouse when Robert McGlone became the first keeper of the new Lloyd Harbor Lighthouse in 1912.

During World War I, the U.S. Coast Guard became a part of the U.S. Navy. A Nurses’ Corps was created for women, but due to the enormous amount of paperwork being generated, women were encouraged to join the military to per-

form office duties. Enlisted women in the Navy and Coast Guard were designated as yeomen.

In 1942, during World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a law creating the Womens Reserve of the U.S. Coast Guard.

These women were called SPARS. Even then their duties were limited, and they could not serve outside the United States.

With the formation of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, some women volunteered their time and efforts to assisting the Coast Guard in

coastal duties.

In our area, volunteers donated their boats and thousands of hours of their time weekly to patrol the waters of Long Island Sound to detect possible German submarine activity.

In 1976, the U.S. Coast Guard was the first of the military services to recruit women into its academy. By the late 1980s, enrollment of women had exceeded 30 percent.

Today, women serve in the Navy, the Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Auxiliary with equal standing, and they continue to contribute to the goals of our nation’s maritime activities.

HILLS EAST

By Danny Schrafel dschrafel@longislandergroup.com

It just might have been the most important selfie of Aysha Malik’s life. It almost certainly included the most people.

Malik, the senior class president of Half Hollow Hills High School East’s 58th graduating class, had just concluded her Sunday morning speech, in which she touched on memories of her first days at High School East, encouraged her classmates to chase their dreams and announced the class gift – opening the Hills East courtyard for incoming students.

“Some of us will continue to stay in touch for many years to come, and others will drift apart. But one thing is for sure – we will all look back and reminisce on the same four years of high school that we once shared,” she said. “So, my friends, it’s our responsibility to take hold of the moments and be proactive… all while capturing life’s… memories and moments.”

“So, with that said, let me take a selfie.”

Malik, who is headed to Boston University in the fall, whipped out her phone, snapped a picture, then hooked her phone onto a selfie stick and took some more with her 472 graduating classmates.

Malik’s farewell flourish captured the essence of the mood Sunday

morning at Hills East: fun, loose and celebratory. A capacity crowd blew air horns, screamed for their loved ones and even shot off confetti from the balcony.

Salutatorian Nicholas Petosa packed his address with jokes, and thanked Hills East principal Jeffrey Woodberry for signing off on it.

“I can honestly say that not only are we fortunate to have the greatest school on Long Island, we also have a principal with the best sense of humor,” Petosa said.

Amidst the fun and festivities was a seriously talented class of 2015 in the spotlight. Of the students, 76 percent earned a Regents diploma with an advanced designation; of those, 54 percent did so with honors, Woodberry said.

Thirty percent of the students were members of the National Honor Society, he continued, and 93 percent plan to go to college starting this fall.

Superintendent Kelly Fallon urged graduates to “be the start of something big.”

United In Differences, Hills West Graduates 405 Colts

Kelly Fallon, Half Hollow Hills’ superintendent, gives her best wishes to High School West’s Class of 2015.

By Andrew Wroblewski awroblewski@longislandergroup.com

As Daniel Rudin, High School West’s 2015 salutatorian, took to the podium during Sunday’s commencement ceremony, he asserted that each of the school’s 405 graduates is unique. Different class schedules, interests, likes and dislikes have separated the graduates throughout their learning careers at Half Hollow Hills – and yet, he explained, they can still be linked using a seemingly simple, elementary concept.

“The common denominator allows us to take to fractions, that don’t look alike… and find something that makes them similar,” he said. “Using our intuition, we can take two things that are not similar and make them similar… There’s an infinitude of things that make us similar and all you have to do is look at things differently to see it.”

Just as those two dissimilar fractions can come together using the common denominator, he said, members of the Class of 2015 can find similarities.

“Although we should honor and understand what makes us dissimilar, we should always remember our similarities because when you add two fractions you get a bigger number,” Rudin said. “As a class, as a community, as a nation, as a world, we can do bigger things – makes things greater.”

One of Rudin’s fellow common denominators is his classmate, Rose Bender – with whom he will be attending Yale University in the fall.

Bender is High School West’s 2015 valedictorian. She achieved a perfect score on her ACT and a near-

perfect score on the SAT. The graduate accomplished all of this despite joining the Class of 2015 prior to her sophomore year – she was a transfer from Long Island School for the Gifted – and while tending to a serious medical condition, hemophilia.

But, as Rudin said, though these differences in accomplishments and paths taken can separate Bender from him and her classmates, the valedictorian assured that she’s come to fit right in at High School West.

“To be completely honest, when I first came to Hills West, I did not expect that in three years I would look back on high school with such fondness… Even though I may have come here a few years after most, I am just as proud, if not even prouder, to be a part of the Hills West community,” Bender said as she reminisced the friends and memories she made.

That community also said goodbye to board of education trustees Frank Grimaldi and James Ptucha.

They served since 2009 and 2006, respectively, but opted to not run for reelection. Ptucha’s daughter, Tessa, graduated on Sunday.

“Many of us have become dear friends,” Ptucha said to fellow parents at the commencement. “After throwing the balls on the fields of Half Hollow Hills for over a dozen years, this is it – for many of us. We are done. Our last baby is graduating. Although we may not see much of each other in the future, we had fun and we will cherish many great memories – all united in support of our sons and daughters.”

Just like different fractions coming together through a common denominator.

Anaconda’s Timeless, Worldly Appeal

By The Foodies foodies@longislandergroup.com

Anaconda Latin Fusion Bistro is, in some ways, a crystallization of Huntington Station’s past, present and future all at once.

Anaconda is located in the former home of the legendary J&J’s Southside Restaurant, a Huntington Station institution for family-friendly Italian dining. Manager Jose Reyes Jr. proudly points to a circa 1939 blackand-white photo at the famous J&J’s bar, which remains in place as it was all those years ago. Pictured in that historic photograph are the Rosado family, who came back recently and “loved the place,” Jose Jr. said, nostalgia washing over them. That’s a clear connection to the past.

Anaconda serves an array of Latinfusion cuisine inspired by all corners of Central and South America. The Reyes family understands that Huntington Station is at a crossroads and aims to be a positive part of its future revitalization.

“We want to show all communities, all countries the different types of food, infusing all these tastes together,” Reyes Jr. said.

During a recent visit, we got a first-

Guacamole ($10), served in a carved stone bowl shaped like a pig, is made for shoveling in by the chip full, and those are conveniently already stuffed into the smooth avocado blend, accented with onions and tomatoes.

Salvadoran pupusas ($7.50), prepared with precision, highlight a classic.

Bountiful chicken chimichangas ($12) wrapped and topped in chesses, are rib-sticking good, and the kitchen takes particular pride in sizzling fajita platters ($14 chicken; $16 steak; $17 shrimp, $18 mix).

Among the staples, seafood ceviche ($15) is a standout – tender shrimp and calamari, full of citrus flavor, but not harsh. One customer said it’s the best she’s had since she came from Belize, Reyes Jr. said. Flan ($4) shares a similarly fanatical devotion, he added. Then, there’s the Peruvian chicken ($10 for a quarter chicken; $15 for half, $30 for full) – fall-offthe-bone tender and exploding with flavor thanks to a lengthy marinade and an hour and a half on the charcoal-fired rotisserie. The delightful aroma wafts up to your nose from a few feet away; little wonder why peo-

ple will line up for the stuff.

Favorable feedback like that “gives us hope,” Reyes Jr. said.

“It gives us hope. It’s been a struggle, starting from the bottom basically from scratch, trying to build our way up, trying to compete with restaurants in the village,” he explained. “We want to get that kind of level.”

BUSINESS An Entrepreneur’s ‘Suite’ Next Step Photo/Suite Pieces

By Danny Schrafel dschrafel@longislandergroup.com

Huntington Station resident and do-it-yourself guru Amanda Peppard is at it again. On June 24, she branched out with a third vintage furniture and decorative paint boutique shop – where crafty minds can learn the tricks of the trade.

The Massapequa store, at 569 Broadway, joins her shops in Brooklyn and at 1038 New York Ave. in Huntington Station.

Peppard launched Suite Pieces in 2012, when she started renting space in Artists in the Attic, located in the third floor of the Yankee Peddler Antiques shop. She opened her first stand-alone store in 2013 in Brooklyn and signed a 10-year lease in March 2014 to operate the Yankee Peddler, which became home base for her business. The antique shop was incorporated and rebranded as The Shops at Suite Pieces.

In February, she relaunched Suite Pieces’ website as a fully-function e-commerce hub.

Even Peppard, who said she has always been an entrepreneur with dreams of inventing, is surprised by Suite Pieces’ rapid success.

“I had no idea that this is what it was going to be,” she said. “I’ve always had really big dreams for the business; I still have big dreams. I had no idea that it would grow this quickly.”

Suite Pieces founder Amanda Peppard, pictured at her most recent grand opening June 24, said her do-it-yourself business has enjoyed rapid growth in the last three years.

Suite Pieces features do-it-yourself workshops, regular installments of the popular Pinterest Live!

Series, which offers crafters refreshments while they replicate a trending craft; as well as an array of Chalk Paints by Annie Sloan and Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint; do-it-yourself supplies and vintage furniture.

Already, she’s using her new store to do good deeds.

Peppard on June 27 hosted “Designing For

Des,” a daylong fundraiser during which she led the overhaul of a bedroom furniture set for a 33year-old Patchogue mother Desiree Vermeulen, who is recovering from a debilitating stroke. In true Suite Pieces fashion, volunteers and donors joined in, helping to paint the set and create something one-of-a-kind.

She credits a sluggish economy for piquing the public’s interest in do-it-yourself crafts.

“People were forced to become a little bit creative with how they spent their money. People became really keen on repurposing,” she said.

As her business grows, Peppard is preparing to make her television debut. She’ll be featured in a July 26 episode of HGTV’s “Flea Market Flip,” which features two teams in a battle for a $5,000 prize in which they buy from a flea market, transform their purchase and sell it. The biggest profit wins the prize. Peppard teamed up with Homeroad.com owner Susan Stevenson, also a dealer at Suite Pieces.

Peppard is hoping Suite Pieces will be a model for others in Huntington Station as business and town leaders pursue long-awaited revitalization efforts.

“I envisioned that the Huntington Station would be the anchor store for this revitalization and I’m really proud that we have something that’s been successful,” she said.

Tips On How On How Long You Should Keep Documents

By Jon L. Ten Haagen, CFP asktheexpert@longislandergroup.com

Last time, I reviewed a list of documents that you should shred sooner you might think – freeing up your closets for whatever you’d like. That list included pay stubs, credit card statements, monthly bills investment documents, personal credit receipts, banks statements and ATM receipts.

Here, let me review with you what to keep and for how long.

• Medical bills, prescriptions, insurance statements and hospital bills: Maintain for five years from the date the services were performed. I would shred these because of personal information.

• Utility bills: If you are writing them off for business keep for a year.

Otherwise keep for three months.

• Satisfied loans: Hold onto for seven years.

• Permanent documentation: Birth certificates, education records, pro-

fessional license records, death certificates, adoption paperwork, divorce decrees, military records.

These are documents you NEVER discard.

• Charitable contributions: Donation receipts and acknowledgement letters should be held until you do your yearly tax fillings.

• Home repairs: Keep a log or journal as long as you own the property so you can show the cost of improvements upon sale. Keep warranty paperwork until one year after the warranty ends.

• 401k (403b, 457) statements: Review statements when they come in against the last statement received (i.e. your June statement vs. the May one) and then hold on to the year-end statement for tax purposed. Keep the annual statements until the account is closed out.

• Non-deductible IRA contributions: Maintain until the account

funds are totally withdrawn.

• Insurance: Keep all insurance records until the asset is sold and a minimum of five years. For auto, house, umbrella, business continuation, etc.

• Auto records: For as long as you own the vehicle.

• Tax returns and associated documents: Generally for seven years.

The IRS has three years to audit a tax return. However, underreported income greater than 25 percent has a six-year statute of limitation and fraud has no limitations.

•Home purchase: Keep the documentation for the purchase cost of the house and any capital improvements – repairs and upgrades – until the house is sold.

Records of a new roof, painting, additions, etc.

• Mortgage: Hold as long as the mortgage is not fully paid. When

BUSINESS Young Professionals Storm Huntington Village

Members of the Young Professionals Committee of the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce scoured the village looking for clues in a scavenger hunt that brought them to several downtown restaurants.

If you were in Huntington Village on June 23, you may have seen 40 young professionals running around downtown despite the downpours. That night, the Young Professionals Committee of the Huntington Chamber held its annual Scavenger Hunt and participants came out for the ‘rain or shine’ event.

The Scavenger Hunt encourages teambuilding and networking and supports local businesses. Even amid the hail and severe storm warnings, young professionals formed teams – matching uniforms were encouraged – and ventured all over Huntington village. The teams were required to complete tasks at each location in order to receive a clue leading them to the next site.

These clues and activities tested not only their knowledge of the area, but also their pop culture and general knowledge. To earn extra points, team members brought canned goods to donate to Long Island Cares, the Harry Chapin Food Bank.

After the groups completed their tasks and arrived at their final stop, Honu Kitchen and Cocktails, prizes were distributed and all of the participants were able to eat and mingle. Special thanks go to the participating restaurants: Mac’s Steakhouse, Honu Kitchen and

Celebrating Coltrane’s crowning achievement (Continued from page A1)

Coltrane and his family lived for four years until his sudden death in 1967.

Like “most everything” Coltrane recorded, “A Love Supreme” was cut at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., and performed by the famous quartet of Coltrane, Jimmy Garrison on double-bass, Elvin Jones on drums and McCoy Tyner on piano.

“It cuts across so many different genres and cultures in terms of its acceptance as an iconic piece of work,” Stein said. “There was some-

thing that was so deeply spiritual about the music that it attracted interest from all kinds and backgrounds of the people.”

Coltrane’s son Ravi Coltrane, who leads a jazz quartet of his own, will close out the bill at 8:30 p.m., following a discussion of “A Love Supreme” at 7:30 p.m.

The all-day event, which includes drum/percussion jam sessions, and jazz/funk jams, along with sessions dedicated to music and percussion improv sessions, rap/hip-hop and beats and more, also serves as the

paid off still hold records for seven years, then have a mortgage burning party and celebrate.

I want to thank my many financial associates (CPAs, attorneys, insurance experts) who helped me come up with this lists.

I hope this has helped you to organize and thin out those bills and

documents taking up valuable closet space. Happy shopping to fill up those voids.

unveiling of a music education program by the Friends of the Coltrane Home that John’s widow, Alice Coltrane, is “very keen on.”

Meanwhile, preserving one of the major vessels for which Coltrane advocates hope to preserve his legacy – restoring his 247 Candlewood Path home in Dix Hills, which was named the 11th most endangered historic place by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2011 – remains “slow and challenging work,” Stein said.

“The progress on the home is slow – I wouldn’t say steady – but it’s happening,” Stein said.

Since October 2006, they’ve raised about $100,000, plus an unspecified amount of pro-bono work from contractors, Stein said. He estimates it will cost another $100,000 – $150,000 to complete planning steps and “important basic restoration” such as masonry repairs.

Overall, he said the overhaul will cost anywhere from $2 million to $2.5 million to create the “state-ofthe-art learning center” and “a beau-

tiful environment around the home.”

Until then, Friends of the Coltrane House are hoping to spread the gospel of music through a music education program they’re putting the final touches on.

“We’re hoping to have a full-time program director who can help move and begin to move these programs into the schools even as the home is beginning to be restored,” Stein said.

In a June 23, 2011 Long Islander News report, Ravi Coltrane, who lived in the house until he was 6 years old, said the home provided his father “peacefulness, solitude” rather than Queens and Philadelphia, where he Coltrane used to live.

“You always want to drive by and be on the street where you grew up,” he said in 2011. “I assumed it’d be like that forever. The idea that it’d be torn down motivated the pursuit to transform it into something bigger as a tribute to John and Alice together.”

cancer patients to have access to lifesaving medications, the Patients' Access to Treatments Act. “I don’t want anyone to go through this alone; I don’t want anybody to go through this period,” Sheila said of her motivation to help others in their battles against cancer.

Today, Sheila, who works at the Dix Hills branch of the Half Hollow Hills Library, remains constantly at war with SLL. According to the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program, SLL is a virtually identical cancer to that of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which is caused by the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells. As of press time on Monday, SEER estimated that there have been 14,620 new CLL cases in 2015 and that 4,650 people have succumbed to it.

But Sheila, alongside her family, keeps fighting. She keeps telling her story and she keeps giving back.

“When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade – or limoncello,” she said jokingly. “But it’s as simple as I don’t want to die; I’m not ready to die. I have a family that I love, a husband I adore and I intend to be around for them.”

On July 16, Sheila’s Avengers will sponsor an event at Chili's Grill & Bar in East Northport. Patrons who

Also, for the second year through Sheila’s Avengers, Huntington Station’s Habberstad BMW has agreed to raffle off a high-performance bicycle and donate the proceeds to LLS.
