The Town of Brookhaven’s Division of Economic Development and the Brookhaven Business Advisory Council (BBAC) will hold the sixth annual Job Fair on Tuesday, June 6 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm in the second floor auditorium of Brookhaven Town Hall, located at One Independence Hill in Farmingville.

The Brookhaven Job Fair gives job hunters the chance to meet face-to-face with representatives from companies in and around Brookhaven who are looking to hire qualified candidates for a wide range of positions. Last year, the event was attended by more than 600 people and representatives from over 100 companies.

There are already more than 50 businesses registered to participate in industries ranging from banking to child care to engineering to sales. Attendees are encouraged to bring their resumes and be ready to talk with prospective employers. To view the list of participating companies, reserve your company recruitment table, watch a video from Job Fair 2016 or to learn more about the 2017 Job Fair, go to www.brookhavenbac.org/Events/Calendar-ofEvents/Job-Fair or call Brookhaven Town’s Office of Economic Development at 631-451-6563 for more information.

Burner.

Serving families since 1995, Burner and her staff, which has grown to 34 and includes her daughters Robin and Britt, are guided by a powerful vision: “We encourage each of our employees to be at their best, both professionally and personally, and this in turn empowers them to provide the highest level of service to our clients,” Burner said.

“We have a unique culture made up of professionals who enjoy their work and are growing and prospering together,” said Michele Biggart, office manager. “This allows us to devote our full energies to our clients.”

The firm provides three month’s maternity leave to staff so they can come back to work with a clear head. “We are mothers, daughters, sisters and wives,” Michele says.

Burner is an advocate of Long Term Care insurance to cover nursing home expenses or care in the home, provided the clients can afford it and qualify medically. “With advances in medicine and technology, people are living longer and are requiring care as they age,” she said. “Having long term care coverage is just one of many tools in the tool box. Planning for the future requires alternatives and back up plans. A good estate plan accomplishes that goal.”

From a basement office in 1995 with only one assistant, Burner has grown her practice into a premier elder care firm in the New York Metropolitan area.

Her main office is in Setauket, with offices in Westhampton Beach where Robin, her daughter lives and in New York City where daughter Britt lives. The Manhattan office also serves clients who have second homes on Long Island.

“Britt is very active in New York City as we are in the Three Village Area and Westhampton,” Burner pointed out. “We don’t just service the communities in which we live, we are a part of them as we participate in community events and support the many various activities that make people’s lives so rich and worthwhile. It is through the relationships we have formed over the years that we grow and find our best selves.”

• Estate Planning: Proper planning not only puts you in charge of your finances, it can also spare your loved ones the expense, delay and frustration associated with managing your affairs when you pass away or become disabled.

• Medicaid Planning: Handling the issues surrounding Medicaid eligibility—the application process and planning—are essential to avoid the financial ruin often associated with the high cost of long-term care.

• Special Needs Planning: Special Needs Trusts are a critical component of estate planning if you have disabled beneficiaries whom you want to take care of.

• Guardianships: For some members of our society, legal protection may be necessary even after they have entered adulthood.

• Probate and Estate Administration: If your loved one owned their assets through a well drafted and properly funded living trust, it is likely that no court managed administration is necessary.

• Veteran’s Benefits: Many veterans and their families are unaware that they could be eligible for a wide range of benefits through Veterans Affairs even if they did not directly retire from the military or suffer injuries in the line of duty.

“Teen obesity has risen to epidemic proportions. If WRP can continue to introduce kids to health and fitness in a fun way, then we feel that we can contribute to giving teens a shot at lives unblemished by such health issues as diabetes and heart disease,” says Bruce Bentley, Manager of WRP.

“By inviting teens to work out for free, we can help them engage in a healthy lifestyle and establish a lifelong routine that includes fitness,” says Bentley. “Self esteem in overweight teens can be quickly recaptured when they start exercising and feeling good about their appearances again.”

Recently, Supervisor Ed Romaine (center, left) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (center) joined the Rocky Point Lions Club at the Wading River Elementary School (pictured) and the Laddie A. Decker Sound Beach School to speak with students about Arbor Day and to hand out tree seedlings. The Lions Club sponsored the event to renew interest in Arbor Day while enhancing our local environment. More than 900 fourth grade students from five north shore schools are joining students across the nation by taking home a free Norway spruce tree seedling to plant at their homes as part of the “Fourth Grade Foresters USA” program, which was created to provide a simple and inexpensive way for any individual, business or organization to send the fourth grade students home with a tree of their own to plant and care for.

In 2016, the Town was designated as a “Tree City USA” by the National Arbor Day Foundation and in his 2015 State of the Town Address, Supervisor Romaine announced his “Greening Brookhaven” initiative to plant 10,000 trees by 2020.

Crocetti.

William Floyd High School senior Isabella Liu has been selected to receive the St. Joseph’s College Presidential Grant, a full tuition grant for all four years of college.

Isabella is one of only 11 students in Suffolk County to be selected for the grant this year. She will major in psychology beginning in the fall of 2017.

Isabella will graduate among the top 10 percent in the class of 2017 and has been a member of the Key Club since her sophomore year. She currently serves in the position of editor. During her time in the Key Club, she has worked on various projects including “The Elimination Project” which is an effort to eliminate neonatal and maternal tetanus, as well as volunteering with the Children’s Literacy program

at the Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Community Library.

“What is amazing about Isabella is not only all that she has accomplished, but all that she will accomplish as a student at St. Joseph’s,” said Suzanne Crocetti, Isabella’s guidance counselor. “She is a student who makes us proud as educators and as a community. I cannot think of a more compassionate, intelligent or outgoing young woman who is more deserving of this grant.”

St. Joseph’s College Presidential Grant recipients are well-rounded and high-achieving students who participate in various extracurricular activities and community service initiatives. Congratulations, Isabella!

On Thursday, May 4 Supervisor Ed Romaine joined the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Brown’s Jeep Chrysler Dodge in Patchogue. Brown’s, located on Route 112, opened in 1917 as a repair shop on Main Street in Bellport. The business started selling Dodge and Plymouth products in 1935, and in 1991 after 74 years in Bellport, the dealership was moved to its Patchogue location. Pictured with Supervisor Romaine (center) are Brown’s Jeep Chrysler Dodge President Gary Brown and Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce Executive Director David Kennedy.

Community Viewpoint Federal Hypocrisy

Dear Editor:

Mr. Toranzo’s letter last week placing the blame for outer beach closures on Suffolk County was unbelievable. Local governments are mandated by federal agencies to protect the birds. Failure to do so can lead to heavy fines and even jail time for local officials.

Even more unbelievable were statements that piping plovers can be moved to new locations.

This is in direct violation of the federal laws!!

Clearly Mr. Toranzo is misinformed. No such game plan can exist. Plans that work around the nests are allowed. After researching plans in other parts of the country that Fish and Wildlife Services has approved, I do not see how it can be successful at Smith Point. There are only two programs in the whole country, Massachusetts and Oregon, and the geography of those parks do not compare to Smith Point.

Smith Point is unique due to the park having only one access road. When alternative management plans were implemented in other parts of the country, there were a host of options to manage recreational access concurrently with plover protection that do not exist at Smith Point.

To be successful, Burma Road must be separated from the plover habitat by large, densely vegetated dunes. At Smith Point, the federal government is making that impossible.

In the absence of physical barriers (contiguous dunes), plovers are still at serious risk. Federal agencies are reducing dunes and preventing Suffolk County from separating Burma Road.

This is hypocrisy at its best. If federal officials want to work with local residents to improve access, then they need to allow Suffolk County to build our dunes up and strengthen the only road we have. Mandating conditions that create more nests in the only areas we can access the beach from is absolute stupidity. We need Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, and Congressman Zeldin to stop Fish and Wildlife Services from destroying our dunes. Then maybe a management plan can succeed and be worth the cost.

Graffiti Removal Program

Dear Editor:

Continuing past efforts, Colonials Community Volunteer Corps, sponsored by Colonial Youth and Family Services, has begun its Graffiti Removal Campaign for 2017.

Volunteers will be working hard on this project every Friday through the fall. Spurred on by

many years of successful efforts and buoyed by tremendous amount of community support volunteers look forward to this project each year.

The goal of this project is to remove graffiti vandalism from municipal property in our neighborhoods. To date, volunteers have removed 5,533 pieces of graffiti vandalism.

Our volunteers strive to maintain these sites while continuing to expand the scope of this project.

If you are a student in the William Floyd School District in grades six through twelve and would like to be volunteer call 631-2814461 and ask for Ray or Sam about registration information.

If you would like to make a monetary contribution to this project all donations are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Ray Hopp Colonial Youth & Family Services

Say No To Sound Beach Crossing

Dear Editor:

Bayville Mayor Paul Rupp and village trustees recently reminded the taxpayers on Long Island of Governor Cuomo’s multi-million dollar study on the Cross-Sound Bridge. This project has been continuously blocked year after year for decades, with opposition from elected officials, Long Island families, small businesses, and environmental groups.

This is another example of petty partisan politics the governor is using to advance his run for the White House, and the taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill. The governor is catering to special interests, rather than our families on Long Island.

The most recent study, conducted in 2007, estimated that the construction alone would cost taxpayers over one hundred million dollars.

This does not include the ecological damage that would disrupt and cripple the ecosystem and wetlands, our pristine shoreline, and the historic North Shore of Long Island.

Countless properties would be bought up by eminent domain, driving property taxes up even more. Our property taxes are too high as it is without adding this undertaking.

This is not a sound project and I simply will not support it. I’ve been in Albany fighting to end these pointless studies which never bear fruit. All of the Cross-Sound Bridge studies over the last decade say the same thing, it’s bad for the environment, bad for business, and bad for the taxpayer, yet here we are digging into it again. This is a waste of time and money.

Sincerely, Assemblyman Michael Montesano 15th Assembly District

In the wake of Mr. Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order, 16 boat went round and round â&#x20AC;&#x153;We treat every !+1/D DDDDDDDD /,:=+:AD D DCD

U.S. senators put forth the Clean Ocean and Safe Tourism (COAST) AntiDrilling Act which would ban oil and gas drilling in the Atlantic. They include: Kirsten Gillibrand of New York; Bob Menendez and Cory Booker of New Jersey; Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts; Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut; Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland; Bill Nelson of Florida; Dianne Feinstein of California; and Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

From the House of Representatives, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen from Miami declared: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tourism is the driving force behind our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and offshore drilling threatens the very resources that these visitors come to Florida to enjoy.â&#x20AC;?

Congressman Charlie Christ, a former Florida governor, asked Mr. Trump to reverse course and put â&#x20AC;&#x153;the well-being of our coastal communities above oil industry proďŹ ts.â&#x20AC;?

In South Carolina, Frank Knapp, president of the Business Alliance for Protecting the Atlantic, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;President Trump referred to offshore drilling creating good jobs and showed no concern for those who will lose their jobs due to oil spills and leaks.â&#x20AC;?

A coalition of environmental groups has ďŹ led a lawsuit challenging the order.

These include the League of Conservation Votersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;its ďŹ rst lawsuit in its 50 years, Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Greenpeace, Center for Biological Diversity, Wilderness Society and Defenders of Wildlife. Defenders of Wildlife President Jamie Rappaport Clark said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do not need and cannot use the oil that may lie under these waters if we ever hope to meet our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to addressing climate change.â&#x20AC;?

In fact, the order comes despite the glut of petroleum in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;why the price of gasoline at the pump here in Suffolk these days has dropped to $2.45 a gallon and less.

Why spend many millions for exploration and test-drilling for unneeded oil instead of advancing the further implementation of solar and wind energy? These clean, green, renewable sources are the fastest-growing energy sources worldwide.

The only part of the Atlantic off North America where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been drilling has been off Nova Scotia, the site of my visit to a rig decades ago. A report from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation earlier this year was headed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nova Scotia offshore oil and gas â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; after Shell seals two wells.â&#x20AC;? It began: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to seal two exploration wells off Nova Scotia has set back the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream of offshore riches.â&#x20AC;?

Turns out the dream of a barrel of oil â&#x20AC;&#x153;goldâ&#x20AC;? in the Atlantic could be an illusion.

oaths and resignations of officers of the board. She is the custodian of town records in a Records Management Office that spans over 20,000 square feet.

“I have a responsibility as Town Clerk and I don’t take it lightly,” Lent says of her work ethic. “I’m at work every day being very involved in the Town Clerk’s Office and I am hands-on.” But the scope and magnitude of the Town Clerk’s Office is far-reaching and multi-faceted, and Lent is quick to acknowledge and credit her staff of 33 full-time and part-time employees as an integral and significant component of the efficient day-to-day operations of the office.

“These are wonderful, highly-skilled and dedicated employees who take pride in what they do,” Lent said. “The number of full-time people in this office has been reduced since I first arrived, so not only are we doing more with less, but,” Lent said, “we’re also more efficient.” That “efficiency” includes having departmentalized the office into a Licensing Section, Registrar Section and Administrative Section that includes issuing Land Use Applications. “My staff is really great and everyone is cross-trained,” Lent explained. “Morale is very important.”

In streamlining the Town Clerk’s Office, Lent established a Central Scanning Repository when the town purchased its own scanner 18 months ago. Implementation of the $6.5 million scanning project involved scanning the town’s records, close to 20 million of them, of which Lent became project manager. For instance, in the Building Department, if 500 building permits are ordered, the process

which was previously done manually and would take up to three days is now accomplished through an electronic filing system where permits are scanned within 20 seconds.

“We maintain a Vacant Homes Registry and as well as a Marina Wait List,” Lent said, It is the once-controversial 12 to 14-year Marina Wait List that has been trimmed from thousands to a few hundred at Brookhaven Town’s various marinas. According to statistics reported by Lent, the Marina Wait List at press time has been trimmed as follows: Port Jefferson went from a wait list of 1,200 to 546; Mt. Sinai went from a wait list of 1,200 to 578, Corey Beach went from a wait list from 500 to 10. “The Marina Wait List is now published on-line, and it’s all about transparency and with no exceptions,” Lent said. “I asked Brookhaven Town for a tightened code change so that the rules are enforced and they are fair to everyone,” Lent said.

In yet another intricate series of procedures, Lent oversaw the election process for Mastic Beach to become an incorporated village in August 2010. “I had to oversee the transfer of all records, and now, (with the dissolution of the village reverting it back to town governance), I have to take them back,” Lent explained, Lent, who is seeking re-election in November, says she serves Brookhaven’s 574,000 residents “with great pride” in a township that is geographically the largest in the state and second largest by population, and the 82nd largest city in the United States.

Question:

My mom is currently approved for Community Medicaid. I received a notification that her benefits need to be recertified. Is this something I should go back to my attorney to handle or can I fill it out myself?

Answer:

Once someone has been approved for Community Medicaid (home care benefits) or Chronic Medicaid (nursing home benefits) they will need to recertify with the local Department of Social Services each year. The recertification notice comes with an application that must be completed and sent in prior to the due date. The application should be sent in with supporting documentation showing income and asset verification for the Medicaid recipient and spouse. This is the way the Department of Social Service ensures that the Medicaid recipient is still entitled to the benefit.

Retaining an attorney to prepare and submit the recertification is typically advisable. If the application is not filled out correctly or documentation is missing the recertification could be denied for failure to provide information. This would result in a loss of benefit for the Medicaid recipient and the possibility of a gap in coverage if a new application is not timely filed and approved.

Another reason to have the attorney prepare the recertification documents is that this will be another opportunity for the attorney to review the entire file and make sure that all of the estate planning is also in order. For example, in the case of a Community Medicaid

application, the homestead (primary residence) is an exempted asset for the purpose of eligibility. Even though the property will be exempted from the calculation during the life of the applicant, under New York State law, costs of services provided under Medicaid to an individual over the age of 55 are subject to estate recovery at the time of the Medicaid recipient’s death, this would include the house.

In order to prevent estate recovery, the Medicaid recipient should engage in proper estate planning during his or her life in order to make sure that no assets will be subjected to recovery after the Medicaid recipient’s death. Another reason for a thorough review is to make sure that the proper calculation is being used for any retirement accounts in pay-out status.

Where the Medicaid recipient has a retirement account that is set up for a systematic monthly distribution, that distribution is based on the value of the account and the life expectancy of the Medicaid recipient. The value of the account can change over time and as the Medicaid recipient gets older, the monthly distribution may need to be changed. If the attorney prepares the recertification, the monthly distribution can be recalculated and adjusted if necessary.

For most Medicaid recipients the benefits received under the Medicaid program are invaluable. Engaging your attorney to handle the recertification can ensure that the recertification application is prepared correctly and review all aspect of the recipient’s file to ensure no adjustments are necessary.

Becoming A Notary Public In Suffolk Suffolk County Clerk Judith Pascale is encouraging anyone who has considered becoming a Notary Public to visit www.SuffolkCountyNY. gov/clerk to learn more about the process.

A Notary Public is a state-appointed official who administers oaths and serves as an impartial witness when important documents are signed.

A Notary Public most commonly administers oaths and affirmations but can also certify acknowledgements on documents such as deeds, mortgages or powers of attorneys. A Notary Public is commissioned to serve for four years.

“If you are eighteen years old, a citizen of the United States and either live or have an office in New York State, you are eligible to serve as a Notary Public,” stated Suffolk County Clerk Judith A. Pascale. “Because you will need to pass an examination in order to serve, you should visit our office so that we can provide you with a copy of the Notary Public License Law study guide,” continued Pascale.

The Notary Public Exam is a walk-in exam given regularly throughout New York State. In Suffolk County, the exam is administered by New York State Department of State in Hauppauge at the New York State Office Building located on Veteran’s Highway. An appointment is not necessary; examinations are conducted on a “walkin” basis. The Notary Public License Law can also be obtained from the New York Secretary of State’s website at www.dos.ny.gov/licensing/notary/notary.html.

The fee to take the exam is $15.00, due on the date of the exam, payable by check or money order to the “Department of State”. Cash is not accepted.

The Office of the Suffolk County Clerk maintains records of all notaries public commissioned in Suffolk County and provides authentications of Notary Public signatures. In addition, Notary Public renewals are administered by our notary department. The public can visit the notary department located at 310 Center Drive in Riverhead between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

Summer Fun with Popsicles

With the warm weather approaching, why not turn it into a healthy summer time snack by making your own frozen treats.

Ingredients 3 cups watermelon puree (seedless if possible) 1/2 cup fresh blueberries 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced 1 peach or nectarine, diced small 1 handful fresh cherries, pitted and chopped

Directions Cut the watermelon into chunks and then puree it in a blender until smooth. Set aside.

Set out about 1 dozen popsicle molds (amount needed will vary depending on size of molds).

Fill each one with the chopped fresh fruit. Then pour in the watermelon puree until each mold is full to the top.

Place a popsicle stick into each one. Place into your freezer and freeze for about 6 to 8 hours.

When ready to serve, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds and then pull each one out of the mold.
