MUSIC SPOTLIGHT

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

Rock guitarist Rich Robinson, co-founder of The Black Crowes, may have a new band, but it’s rooted in the classic blues and hard rock sounds he’s known for.

“It’s old and new,” Robinson said of the 10-piece band, The Magpie Salute, which is set to play The Paramount on Aug. 13.

He added, “There are people from our pasts, who I’ve known for decades, and then there are some new people who bring new energy to the whole thing. We just have a strong reverence for playing together, and playing this music, and seeing where this thing is going to go.”

The band is made up of several members of The Black Crowes, including Robinson, guitarist Marc Ford, and bassist Sven Pipien.

Along for the ride are Nico Bereciartua on guitar

and Joe Magistro on the drums, and a talented selection of vocalists, including lead singer John Hogg, of Hookah Brown and Moke; former Crowes singer Charity White; and background singers, Adrien Reju and Katrine Ottosen. Also touring with the band is keyboard player Michael Bellar.

Together, the group produces blues rock, hard rock, and southern rock. Setlists, which vary showto-show. Feature songs from The Black Crowes, Robinson’s solo records and Ford’s new record.

Formed in 2016 out of Woodstock, New York, The Magpie Salute’s debut performance came this past January, when it sold out Gramercy Theatre.

The band’s name is a reference to a British superstition about the need for one to salute a magpie — a type of crow — any time it’s seen, in order to ward off negativity, or to have a good day.

The band’s formation marks the reunion of the Robinson and Ford guitar team, which ended in 1997 when Ford left The Black Crowes.

Robinson said the main difference between The Black Crowes and The Magpie Salute is there’s more positive energy.

“We’re all really focused on being positive and maintaining that positivity,” he said. “As far as musicianship, we’re all a little bit older, we’re a little bit wiser and I think there’s a lot of dynamic to this

Looking ahead to the show date at The Paramount, Robinson said, “It’s really a show where people come, bring their positivity, their best energy and they have fun, and we have fun.”

“It becomes a celebration and ultimately that’s the best that can happen.”

Tickets range $30-$65 and can be purchased at the box office or at Paramountny.com. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the jams are set to kick off at 8 p.m.

Pictured on the right side in the back are Vita Scaturro, in red, and Debbie Rimler, regional director at Tri-CYA.

Summer is the toughest time for children who depend on school meals for food. In the absence of school programs, many local chil-

dren attend Tri-CYA, where they receive meals during the week. The center is open six days a week and on Saturday children are given a bag with food for Saturday and Sunday.

When the Townwide Fund of Huntington learned that 50-60 children who attend Tri-CYA were at risk of having nothing to eat during weekends until school starts, it stepped in to help.

An emergency grant of $2,000 was presented to Debbie Rimler, regional director at Tri-CYA, last Wednesday afternoon to make sure that the children do not go hungry.

“We invite the community to join us in making sure that the Tri-CYA children have food this summer,” said Vita Scaturro, board member of the Townwide Fund. “You can drop off food at the center at 809 New York Ave., or you can send a check.

Any size donation is needed.”

Thanks to successful fundraising and crowdfunding campaigns, the Cava family recently ventured to Nicaragua, where they built houses and worked on an orphanage in the Christo Rey district of the country.

For 44-year-old David Cava, of Huntington, volunteering has always been part of his life.

He’s been on multiple short-term mission trips in his life, including trips to the Ukraine and Belarus in 1994, as well as a trip to Nicaragua in 2014.

A part of him “starts to die if I am not actively, experientially helping other people for an extended period of time,” he said. “As Christians we believe that God cares, and we should try to emulate that.”

Family Crowdfunds Mission Trip To Nicaragua

The new houses being built by the mission workers, left, compared to the old houses built by residents, right. brought along his daughter, Marianna, and his son, Jonny.

This particular trip was organized

by New Life Nicaragua, a group that established a ministry and re-nutrition center in Christo Rey, and which is now looking to establish an orphanage.

Interviewed before he left for the trip, Cava said he expected to be doing much of the same work he was doing three years ago, when he helped build more structurally-sound and elemen-

tally-resistant homes. The homes, he said, are little more than shacks, but they keep the rain and animals out, and are much sturdier than the typical ramshackle homes of the area.

The current conditions in Christo Rey are reportedly some of the worst in the world. Some residents scavenge for scrap metals like copper, aluminum and bronze, or scraps of glass. Kids sometimes work with their parents in a dump instead of going to school, and

commonly eat food scraps from the garbage piles.

“As Americans, we tend to think that we can change everything,” Cava said.

He does, however, believe he, and others like him, are making a difference. But, he added, the long-term workers, those who live and work in Nicaragua year round, are the ones who truly make a difference.

In order to raise money for their trip, the Cavas employed a variety of different fundraising methods, including hosting car washes and mailing out letters. However, the family came up short of its fundraising goal due to unexpected vaccination expenses not covered by insurance.

In light of that, Marianna created a GoFundMe page, which generated $2,040 from 21 donors, many of them friends of the Cava family.

When asked how their efforts, Marianna said she continues to worry for the children in Nicaragua, even after returning home.

s e i d o o f the Nina’s Restaurant Evolving With Time The popular Nina’s Pizzeria in Northport has rebranded as Nina’s Restaurant Wine Bar & Tap Beers, and it’s also expanded its menu in the process.

Previously a New York City Police officer, owner Artie Berke was a 9/11 first responder and lost a friend that day. Having two daughters, Berke decided to make a career change and opened up Nina’s Pizzeria in 2002.

In opening the pizzeria, Berke brought with him years of experience as he previously worked at age 15 at what was then Junior’s Pizza in Huntington village.

“I like the art form and the rush of making pizzas on a busy night,” he said. “We were able to throw up pizzas in the air and create new things.”

Now, Berke is creating a new Nina’s.

Rebranded as Nina’s Restaurant, the restaurant offers high-end items, Berke, of Northport, said.

The menu took four years to craft, and has expanded, now featuring more Italian seafood dishes and others he’s created through the years. The new menu officially debuted last Friday.

For an appetizer, the Pazzo Mussels ($10) do not fall short in offering the best quality meat in each shell.

With a spicy kick and salty bite, the dish offers a mix of mouthwatering flavors, complete with bacon, cherry hot pepper, red pepper flakes, onion and delectable cream sauce.

As for the main course, the Eggplant Paesano ($16) features sautéed eggplant, filetto sauce, onion, fresh mozzarella and homemade rigatoni.

The light sauce is filled with flavor, making the perfect pairing with the soft texture of the eggplant.

For those craving a refreshing summer bite, the Grilled Salmon Salad ($20) is the perfect choice. Served with mesclun salad, sliced granny apples, panko crusted goat cheese, candied walnuts, grape tomatoes, dried

Eggplant Paesano ($16) comes with sautéed eggplant, filetto sauce, onion, fresh mozzarella and homemade rigatoni.

The sfingi doughnuts are a must try for dessert. The Italian potato zeppole are moist, with the cinnamon sugar coating delivering a sweet flavor in every bite.

East Northport Fire Department hosted its annual parade Aug. 2, kicking off four days of fun at the annual firemen’s fair.

Twenty-six fire departments and a pair of volunteer ambulance corps marched down Larkfield Road last Wednesday night and were accompanied by fire trucks, flashing lights, and marching bands.

“The fair is community outreach; we’re here to support the community,” East Northport Fire Chief Dan Heffernan said.

Families spent time entering raffles, winning prizes, going on rides, eating burgers and ice cream, playing games and more.

When asked why she keeps coming back to the fair year after year, East Northport resident Christina McCarthy said, “For the fun, the games, the food, but mainly to support the fire department.”

Also included in last Wednesday’s events was a ceremony during which trophies were awarded to departments based on their parade performances. The panel of judges, consisting of senior members of the host fire department, chose which department best exemplified categories such as Furthest Travelled, Most Members in Line, Best Appearing Band and Best Appearing Department. King’s Park Fire Department won five categories, the most of any department, including the Best Overall Department award.

Doing Well, Doing Good: Part 2

By Peter J. Klein, CFA, CRPS, CAP pklein@hightoweradvisors.com

When we last discussed this topic on these pages we focused on the advent and momentum of Socially Responsible Investing – the what, why and how to. The SRI movement is more than just being mindful of one’s portfolio and its impact on society. It has nearly morphed into an asset class onto itself. There are now a multitude of funds and ETFs and other investment vehicles focused on SRI. There are conferences and professionals focused on the impact of one’s portfolio on their stated mission (in the case of an endowment or foundation). There was even an announcement made by The Ford Foundation that stated their intention of allocating a portion of their corpus ($1 billion over 10 years) to mission related projects and investments – a true sea-change in the sense that they are using balance sheet assets not just the income that those assets may generate.

Reflecting on this movement towards Social Responsible Investing I was thinking about how individual investors can “Do Well and Do Good” at the same time. One vehicle that certain families deploy to cement their philanthropic legacies is to start a family foundation, one in which family members can take an active role. Many families that we counsel set specific times, usually over holidays, to gather the family around the dining room table and discuss how to use their families’ legacy – that is, the foundation’s assets – to do good. These foundations typically have a defined mission area, although many are fairly open to suggestions in their giving ideas,

and seek to work alongside nonprofit organizations to maximize impact for their specific cause or constituency. The bottom line is that these families are doing “good,” for society on the whole and certain sectors or interests. However, a private foundation is a serious administrative responsibility. It takes a good deal of time to manage and organize; not only the grants it makes and the site visits to organizations but also effective portfolio management of the corpus of the foundation’s giving.

What other vehicles can a legacyminded, philanthropically-centric family utilize to make gifts to worthy nonprofits? The Donor Advised Fund is a wonderfully simply way for philanthropic families to make donations to their favorite charities.

With a DAF you make a contribution, be it cash, appreciated securities or even somewhat arcane assets like land or real estate interests, to a DAF, the value of which is 100 percent tax deductible, up to the AGI limits, in the year you make the contribution. For more on the tax implications it is important to consult your tax advisor. Now that the DAF is funded you are able to request donations from it to any nonprofit organization. But, unlike with a private foundation, you are not burdened with the administrative work needed to manage such philanthropic giving. This is doing “good.” How about doing “well?” In other words how can this individual investor magnify his philanthropic intentions at the same time as he maximizes his wealth management plan? Besides the tax implications, which are typically positive for most investors, how else can this philanthropicallyminded individual investor increase his personal wealth – the doing “well” – while he does “good” for

society or a cause?

That is exactly what I was pondering when I reflected on this topic.

An epiphany popped into my head.

Perhaps the individual investor has an IRA, and this IRA has assets that have never been taxed. Well perhaps the investor could consider converting a portion of that IRA into a Roth IRA, which is after tax dollars but grows tax free for life. That conversion would yield a tax liability but, depending on certain assumptions, the investor may very likely be better off with long term tax-free growth than tax-deferred growth (that is required to be slowly recognized upon the age of 70.5. The tax liability in a sense could be partially offset by the tax savings from the donation to the DAF. Presto: doing well and doing good.

business Helga’s: A Cozy, Fun Consignment Store Spotlight On

Huntington Businesses

By Janee Law jlaw@longislandergroup.com

There is a comforting and exciting atmosphere at Helga’s Choice Consignment in Northport Village. Inside the nearly 1,000-square-foot shop, there’s a sign that states, “Life’s Too Short To Wear Boring Clothes.” Written in pink lettering, the blue sign is small but speaks volumes to the eclectic vibe the store offers.

“It really is cozy and fun, and we really try to keep it entertaining,” owner Helga Bagatais, 55, of Northport, said.

“It’s easier to walk in here and have a nice time.”

Helga’s Choice Consignment sells gently-used, designer clothes, shoes, accessories, artwork, books, and unique home goods for women and men.

The store offers several types of pre-owned items that are vintage, new and modern, Bagatais said, calling the pieces eclectic and one of a kind.

Bagatais said she receives items for her store from anyone, with people coming from Bay Shore, the Hamptons and Queens. She said she has around 2,100 people who regularly drop off their items.

The busiest time of the year for intake are the months of September and May, when the season changes, Bagatais said. She added that she expects a busy September, typically receiving between 50-100 pieces a day.

“It’s crunch time because everyone goes through their clothes at the same time and then they all come running because they all want it out of their house,” Bagatais said.

Offering sizes from X-small to XXlarge, Helga’s sells many brands including Free People, Coldwater Creek, and Vineyard Vines. Bagatais said clothing prices range from $10-$120.

If items don’t sell in two months,

Bagatais said they donate the pieces to Career Couture and the Northport VA Hospital.

“It’s just a positive thing all around,” she said. “We get to sell nice brands at reasonable prices, the owner of the article gets some money and we get enough money to stay open and whatever doesn’t sell gets donated. It’s a win-win all around.”

The store opened its 139 Main St. location in Northport Village in July 2014.

Bagatais’ focus on selling pre-owned items came from her enjoyment of the hunt to find new treasures.

“Everybody has so much, especially in an affluent area like this, and it’s a shame not to reuse something and throw it away,” Bagatais said. “I always get excited when cool things come in.”

The store also helps out other local businesses, having recently sought out beer signs from customers at the request of the owner of Brew Cheese.

“He came in and asked if we have beer signs and I said, ‘No, but I can get you some.’ So, I made a little sign and asked people if they had beer signs and they just came pouring in,” Bagatais said. “Now, in his shop, he has all of this decor of beer signs.

That’s what makes it fun and that’s what makes it a community effort.”

Bagatais said she loves the interactions she has with the patrons of Northport Village.

“I feel connected with my community, I know people’s names, they know me and I know their kids,” she said. “It’s nice to be part of a small town community.”
