M U S IC Fitz And The Tantrums To Bring Music To Life SPOTLIGHT By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com Audiences can expect a vibrant and rocking show at The Paramount on Nov. 16, when Fitz and the Tantrums takes to the stage. The six-piece band is set to perform songs from its latest, self-titled album, along with “oldies, but goodies,” from its back catalog, said saxophonist and flute player James King. He’s hoping the performance will peel the “paint off the walls.” “We’re expecting to bring this album to life for people who haven’t seen us perform live before,” King said. Fitz and the Tantrums was founded in 2008. Along with King, there’s Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, co-vocalist; Noelle Scaggs, co-vocalist; Jeremy Ruzumna, keyboards; Joseph Karnes, bass; and John Wicks, drums and percussion.
Fitz and the Tantrums is set to bring a vibrant, rocking show to The Paramount on Nov. 16. The group hit stardom in 2010, with the release of its debut album, “Pickin’ Up The Pieces,” which incorporated a soulful, R&B-revival sound. Three years later, the group shifted gears by introducing a new wave-influenced dance-pop sound, which was showcased on its sophomore album, “More Than Just A Dream.” Singles off the album include “Out of My League,” which lit U.S. music charts, and “The Walker,” another hit. The shift in musical genres is something that Fitz and the Tantrums did intentionally, King said.
“With our sound changing so much from record to record it can be a challenge to a lot of listeners who expect one thing from us over and over again,” King said. He added that many fans of the band “just come with us for the ride. It’s been really cool having people stick with us.” King said that when it comes to writing songs, the group gets inspiration from “anything and everything.” “On the last record, we kind of started out with a lot of heartbreak in those songs and a lot of angst,” he said. “Now, we’re kind of touching on themes of
desire again with this album and at the same time just doing it with a light hearted approach to uplift people in a strange and dark time in our history.” “That’s where I feel at home and that’s where I kind of get fueled for everything else that I do in life and having the audience there to share it with me is just crucial,” King said. “I’m really happy to be doing it with these guys and we’re looking forward to a lot more new fans. We’re just excited to be out doing it.” For those just starting to get acquainted with the band, King said, Fitz and the Tantrums is excited meld together one cohesive show with a great live atmosphere that isn’t just a regurgitation of their recording sound. “People come away feeling great after our show,” he said. “We’re excited.” Doors open at 7 p.m. on Nov. 16. The show is slated to begin at 8 p.m. Also performing will be special guest Barnes Courtney, a solo artist from England. Tickets for the show range $25-$113 and are available at the box office or at Paramountny.com.

H is t o r y ‘Sea Of History’ Exhibit Explores Maritime Heritage Long Islander News photos/Janee Law

The display is part of an annual tradition that brings to the forefront a different piece of the town’s history through its historic archives. This year’s exhibit, titled “A Sea of History-Our Maritime Heritage,” features artifacts and documents from 1676-1902. “We boarder so much water and a lot of people are not aware of the history of Huntington as it relates to the waterfront,” Jo-Ann Raia, Huntington town clerk, said. “I hope that, because it’s so diverse, it brings to light all of these hidden treasures that we’ve had.” Town archivist Antonia Mattheou said assembling the actual display took one month, but the process of researching and gathering the archives took six months. The display, which was officially put up in May, explores topics such as pottery, brickyards, whaling, shell fishing, shipbuilding, transportation, marinas and yacht clubs. “Everyone talks about Sag Harbor whaling, but we had that here in Cold Spring Harbor,” Raia said. “It’s a big boating community, with so many yacht clubs and boating clubs, so we wanted to highlight

business Spotlight On
Huntington Businesses By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com A rustic atmosphere is on display to all who walk into The Crusted Olive, found at 278 Main St. in Huntington village. They can feast their eyes on a variety of different, ultra-premium and infused olive oils, dark and white balsamic vinegars and gourmet oils. “For such a long time people thought that olive oil was bad for you and it was going to make you fat,” said Mona Rossero, who coowns the business with her husband, Bob. “We started reading up on how good it was for you and that it’s a good fat to have in your diet. All the health benefits, you can get with olive oils.” Originally from Huntington, the
couple moved to North Carolina, where they opened up their first location in Hickory in 2010. The Hickory store turned out to be a success and so they decided to open up another in Huntington in 2011. “It sort of snowballed up here in New York,” Rossero said. “We decided to sell the one in North Carolina and move back up here.” After the Main Street location opened, Rossero opened up another location that same year in Stony Brook, then in Sayville in 2012, Babylon in 2013, Port Jefferson in 2015 and Wading River last month. “We enjoy it because we feel like we’ve taught people about good eating,” Rossero, who currently lives in Port Jefferson, said. “It’s worked and people are getting educated.” Along with olive oils and balsamic vinegars, the 2,000-square-foot location also offers jams, jellies, salts, pastas and more. The store gets its products from Veronica Foods distributor in California. The distributor brings in products from around the world, including Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, California, Chile,

business Potential 401k Rollover Pitfalls By Jon L. Ten Haagen, CFP ® asktheexpert@longislandergroup.com You are about to receive a distribution from your 401(k) plan, and you’re considering a rollover to a traditional IRA. While these transactions are normally straightforward and trouble free, there are some pitfalls you’ll want to avoid and with good guidance you can. First consider the pros and cons of a rollover. The first mistake some make is failing to consider the pros and cons of a rollover to an IRA in the first place. You can leave your money in the 401(k) plan if your balance is over $5,000. And if you are changing jobs, you may also be able to roll your distribution over to your new employer’s 401(k) plan. Though IRAs typically offer significantly more investment opportunities and withdrawal flexibility, your 401(k) plan may offer investments that can’t be replicated in an IRA (or can’t be replicated at an equivalent cost). 401(k) plans offer virtually unlimited protection from your creditors under federal law (assuming the plan is covered by ERISA; solo 401(k)s are not), whereas federal law protects your IRAs from creditors only if you declare bankruptcy. Any IRA creditor protection outside of bankruptcy depends on your particular state’s law. 401(k) plans may allow employee loans. Usually up to 50 percent of the value and must be paid back within five years. And most 401(k) plans don’t provide an annuity payout option, while some IRAs do. Not every distribution can be rollover over to an IRA. For example, Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) can’t be rolled over. Neither can hardship withdrawals or certain periodic payments. Do so and you may have an excess contribution to deal with. Use direct rollovers and avoid 60day rollovers. It may be tempting to give yourself a free 60-day loan, it’s generally a mistake to use 60-day rollovers rather than a direct (trustee to trustee) rollovers. If the plan sends you the monies, it is required by law to withhold 20 percent of the
taxable amount. If you later want to five-year holding period, be aware roll the entire amount of the original that when you roll those dollars indistribution over to an IRA, you’ll to your ROTH IRA, they’ll now be need to use other sources to make up subject to the ROTH IRA five year the 20 percent the plan withheld.

So if you think you may need to use funds before age 59.5, a rollover to an IRA could be a costly mistake. Learn about Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA). If your 401(k) plan distribution includes employer stock that’s appreciated over the years, rolling that stock over to an IRA could be a serious mistake. Normally, distributions from 401(k) plans is subject to ordinary income taxes. But a special rule applies when you receive a distribution of employer stock from your plan: You pay ordinary income tax only on the cost of the stock at the time it was purchased for you by the plan. Any appreciation in the stock generally receives more favorable long-term capital gains treatment, regardless of how long you’ve owned the stock. (Any additional appreciation after the stock is distributed to you is either longterm or short-term capital gains, depending on your holding period.) These special NUA rules don’t apply if you roll the stock over to an IRA. This would be a very serious and costly mistake. IF YOU ARE ROLLING OVER ROTH 401(k) dollars to a ROTH IRA: If your ROTH 401(k) distribution isn’t qualified (tax-free) because you haven’t yet satisfied the

The cinema now offers assistive devices for impaired movie theater-goers. The move, Dylan Skolnick, codirector of the cinema, said was made to further CAC’s ability to offer a welcoming environment for all patrons. “The cinema has always tried to be welcoming to all from the beginning and one of the things that’s come up over the years is not being able to have opportunities for people who are profoundly blind, deaf or hard-ofhearing,” Dylan Skolnick, co-director of the cinema, said. “Now, with the new technology, we’re really delighted to be open to all.” New equipment at the 423 Park Ave. cinema includes an ultra phonic infrared hearing and closed caption system for each of its three theaters and 20 headsets. The headsets provide high quality sound ensures maximum intelligibility for the hearing and visually impaired, where users hear the sound track and description of the screen action. Other improvements include eight “closed caption glasses.” Wearers of the glasses will be able to see closed captions for whatever film is being screened. Only those wearing the glasses can see the captions. “For example, people who are deaf, who couldn’t enjoy a movie previously, now they can come use the glasses,” Skolnick said. “They’ll be able to
have captions so they can call it a movie and enjoy it just like everyone else.” Skolnick added that the additions were made possible due to a gift from the Pless Family Fund at the Long Island Community Foundation. CAC received a $15,000 grant to purchase the devices. Marie Smith, director of donor relations and communications at the Long Island Community Foundation, said the foundation and Muriel Pless, of the Pless Family Fund, are excited to have the support from the cinema to help “enrich the lives of Long Islanders that may now be able to enjoy the wonderful programing here regardless of any disabilities they may have.” She continued, “We’re very proud to hear and see all this happen.” Elected officials from across Huntington township also attended the press conference to show their support, including state Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci. “I’ve been coming here since I was very young and it’s always been very welcoming and very inclusive,” Lupinacci said. “It’s good to see that the vision and the hearing impaired now will get the full support that they need to get the full benefit of this great location here.” Also at the press conference, Skolnick and Charlotte Sky, co-director at the Cinema, presented Pless and Smith with certificates of appreciation. Sky added, “We are really grateful for all the support we have received, especially the support we have from Muriel Pless and the Long Island Community Foundation.”

THE HEART OF THE MATTER Let's explore the concept of "heart" for its use in our speech is really an art Big hearted, heartfelt, heart and soul all are terms whose ideas we extol Heart of gold, heart warming, heart to heart sound romantic right from the start Soft hearted, light-hearted, heart's desire of such words we never do tire And as we know, with many wild buck, the way to his heart is through his stomach
Walt Whitman
As we follow the concept of "heart" on its travels less romantic meanings begin to unravel Stone hearted, cold hearted, heartburn too oft teach us lessons we'd rather not learn Sinking hearts, heavy hearts, broken hearts describe fate's disastrous, poison-tipped darts Faint hearted, heartless, and bleeding heart are words that don't sound good from the start And recall the terror when lovers do part it's called dying of a broken heart A rose may be a rose to the eye and the nose yet the diverse meanings of "heart" set it apart Yes, "heart" is the center of much of our chatter and it really does get to the heart of the matter Elaine Anne Pasquali Dix Hills Walt’s Corner is edited by George Wallace, former Suffolk County poet laureate, and honors founder Walt Whitman.
