First, today's weather:

Sunshine; breezy in the p.m. High: 88 low: 72.

Here are the top 3 stories in Huntington today:

1. Northport hawk strikes again, attacks two more. The red-tailed hawk attacked two people by the Weekday Nursery School on Wednesday. The principal of the school told News 12 that "the school has been held hostage by the bird for months." There have been multiple attacks reported over the past few months. (Patch)
2. Car show held at St. Anthony's to honor fallen NYPD officers. The car show was held Sunday to honor fallen officers Wilbert Mora and Jason Rivera. Check out photos from the event in the link. (Patch)
3. Northport teacher David LaMagna awarded a $2,000 Agriculture in the Classroom 2022 grant. The money will go towards the school's on-site greenhouse and education for students on where their food comes from. "Students will visit and engage in phenomena-based experiences and apply scientific reasoning to study Long Island native species that are of both ecological and agricultural value." (Patch)

Are you a Huntington resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can’t afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2 percent when inflation is >3 percent
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164 percent (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Huntington Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
