Despite cold weather and heavy winds, thousands of locals residents packed Main Street in Center Moriches last Sunday to take part in the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. The parade is organized and sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce of the Moriches. The parade was kicked off by the 2017 Grand Marshal, Joe Maag. Mr. Maag is a longtime business owner and active member of dozens of community, religious and youth organizations. Dozens of bands, community and youth groups took part in the parade as well. On Friday, March 10, 2017 over two hundred people packed Rock Hill Country Club in Manorville to pay tribute to Mr. Maag and enjoy Irish food, music and dancing. Following the presentations to Mr. Maag, chamber ofﬁcials announced the 2017 St. Patrick’s parade Irish Princess, Kristen Renzetti. Ms. Renzetti is a 17 year old senior at Center Moriches High School and was selected from dozens of contestants. In addition to her title and crown, she will also receive a $750.00 scholarship from the chamber.

Dear Editor: Mr. Anderson, Mr. Ricciardi and Ms. Soldano were the main architects of the “Save The Village” campaign. In their campaign to “Save the Village” they sought to vilify the Town of Brookhaven, Supervisor Ed Romaine and Councilman Dan Panico. They claimed these leaders would use “eminent domain” and “steal” all the properties below Neighborhood road. A campaign of lies and slander that thankfully did not blind the residents to the truth. Mastic Beach voters came out in full force to vote overwhelmingly to return to the Town of Brookhaven. Supervisor Romaine and Councilman Panico have spoken repeatedly at both the Mastic Beach Property Owners Association and the Pattersquash Creek Civic

Association of their commitment to coming into the village with “shock and awe” to “clean up the mess”. Now, we are told by the “Save the Village/ Residents Unite Party” that they are going to be the team to lead the transition to go back to the town?! The Party who called the town, their employees and leaders, thieves and liars? This is preposterous, ridiculous and stupid. They are the last people who should be negotiating with the town. The three amigos of Chris, Chris and Diana need to slink away and let the responsible adults ﬁnish the job. It is so important that the residents go out and VOTE for the mature adults - Bob Miller, Fred Krage and Vic Viola on Tuesday March 21st from 12-9pm at MASTIC BEACH VILLAGE HALL 369 Neighborhood Rd. Let’s ﬁnish the job and get back to the Town as soon as possible. Sincerely, Jean San Martin Resident Village Mastic Beach

County Clerk’s Office Provides 24 Hour Service County Clerk Judith Pascale and the Suffolk County Clerk’s Office have expanded its on-line land record retrieval system and Land Record & Court Hotline to provide access 24-hours a day. The information online is available in index form only, and does not contain images of the actual records. However, access to this information is an incredibly useful tool for the residents, and businesses that service the residents, of Suffolk County. After locating a record, copies can be purchased from the County Clerk’s Office. Currently, indexes to deed, mortgage, judgment, lien, UCC, business certificate and corporation records are available via the website. Additionally, the automated telephone service is available 24/7 and allows attorneys, title professionals, banks, as well as the general public, to enter their tax map property identification number and/or Supreme Court Index number into an automated system that will provide recent activity, i.e. deed transfers, mortgage satisfactions and/or court filings. “As County Clerk it has always been my goal to provide the best services to the residents of Suffolk County. By increasing the range of available land record data back to 1987, we have provided a safe and efficient means for the residents of Suffolk County to check their property information on-line and avoiding the need to visit our office in Riverhead. Furthermore, by limiting the information available to data only, we have ensured that the privacy concerns of residents remain paramount,” commented Suffolk County Clerk Judith A. Pascale. Property information is only retrievable by utilizing your distinct property tax map number which appears on your tax bill or with the case index number for Supreme Court lawsuits. “The Suffolk County Clerk’s Office is pleased to provide the latest in safe efficient retrieval of land record information, while protecting the records from anyone who may use them for illegitimate reasons,” concluded Suffolk County Clerk Judith A. Pascale. Residents are encouraged to visit the Suffolk County Clerk’s website at SuffolkCountyNY.gov/Clerk for more information. The automated telephone service is available by dialing 631-852-2000 ext. 650.

problem.” In 1978, only Nevada and New Jersey had commercial casinos. Today, they are in 24 states—and also, gambling on the Internet has been growing. Atlantic City was for a time the gambling mecca of the Northeast. But now nearly every state in the region has casinos. As for Atlantic City, which had a dozen huge casinos, now that’s down to seven with the latest one closing last year, Trump Taj Mahal. Jake’s 58, meanwhile, is not exactly a traditional casino. It is limited to video slot machines—265 of them now and an expected 1,000 by this summer. They are electronic versions of traditional casino games. Suffolk OTB plans to ask for the state’s OK to add an additional 1,000. But this set-up might be ﬁne for Long Islanders seeking to avoid a drive to Atlantic City or Connecticut to bet in their casinos, or a trip upstate. How Suffolk County got a casino is an odd story. In 2014, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sought to “reform” the Long Island Power Authority and bring in a New Jersey-based company, PSEG, to be the main utility on the island. But this was opposed by the island’s state legislators from both parties. According to sources in Albany, Mr. Cuomo pushed a deal, taken to legislators by his then top aide, former Deputy Suffolk County Executive Larry Schwartz. Under it, to aid

Nassau and Suffolk’s financially-strapped county governments, they would get the governor’s go-ahead to set up facilities for video slot machines—in return for the lawmakers supporting his “reform” scheme. More than half then went for it. Originally, Mr. Cuomo had sought to locate new casinos only in economically depressed areas upstate. In the end, intense public opposition in Nassau County stopped the proposed casino there, but an arrangement was made under which Nassau would receive revenue from a video slot operation in Queens. Suffolk OTB, in sharp decline, earlier had closed 10 of its 14 gambling locations and sold its Hauppauge headquarters. It faced strong resistance when it sought to site the video slot casino in Medford. Then the Islandia Marriott came on the market. Suffolk OTB officials say this was a top choice all along considering its central location and, unlike Medford, the construction of a new facility wasn’t needed. The hotel could be modified to become a casino. The small village of Islandia, created in 1985, has been promised $47 million over 20 years by Delaware North, enough to cut village property taxes by about half for its 3,335 residents, says the village’s mayor, a big booster of the casino. But there is a lawsuit pending brought

by some area residents seeking to close the Islandia operation. It alleges the village’s approval was fraught with illegalities. They further complain the casino will lead to crime, increased trafﬁc and lower property values. Opponents of state-sponsored gambling have also long charged that it hits low-wage earners the hardest, causing debt, broken families and other personal tragedies— that gambling is often addictive and government shouldn’t encourage it. Years ago I researched and wrote an article on the Gamblers Anonymous group. Members spoke of the thrill of gambling—as opposed to betting—the difference being, they explained, they couldn’t afford to lose the money when gambling and this danger caused a certain “high.” They spoke of losing jobs and relationships and becoming hooked on what became a compulsion. Gamblers Anonymous remains active on Long Island and with a new casino here can be expected to be yet more active. A recent article in The Atlantic magazine related: “A signiﬁcant portion of casino revenue now comes from a small percentage of customers, most of them likely addicts, playing machines that are designed explicitly to lull them into a trancelike state that the industry refers to as ‘continuous gaming productivity.’”

Long Island Social Media 2017

The Long Island Social Media Group held its ﬁrst meeting of 2017 at the upscale Ristegio’s Restaurant on Route 112 in North Patchogue. As usual, the meeting draws a crowd of interesting and eclectic mix of people. Frank MacKay, the always ubiquitous host, had just returned from a 3 day African safari; one never knows where Frank is going to turn up next. Frank, among the many projects he undertakes, hosts a daily radio talk show on 103.9 from 2PM to 3PM. Also, as the group’s guest speaker at its last meeting was Tom Schiliro, who hosts ‘Your Island’ a mid-day talk show airing before Frank’s from 12 Noon-2PM. The group meets the last Monday of every month at Ristegio’s Restaurant & Lounge, it’s free; providing great networking and a lite supper.

A rather new technique in trust /4E?+'89E:5E)53+ CE)54)2;*+*E!'9)'2+ planning is leaving assets to your beneďŹ ciaries in trust rather than outright. The beneďŹ ts to these descendantsâ€™ trusts or inheritorsâ€™ trusts are that they give the beneďŹ ciary creditor protection, protection against divorcing spouses and ensure that the assets pass tax free to the next generation. All this and the beneďŹ ciary can be their own Trustee. If you have not already incorporated inheritorsâ€™ trusts into your estate plan, you may want to consider adding them in.

3.) Do your beneďŹ ciary designations coincide with your estate planning documents? Another common oversight is not coordinating your beneďŹ ciary designations with your estate planning documents. Not all assets pass through a Last Will and Testament or a trust. As we mentioned above, assets will only pass through a trust if the trust is designated as the owner and/or beneďŹ ciary. The only assets that will pass through a Will are those that are in the decedentâ€™s estate; that is, in the decedentâ€™s sole name when they pass away with no beneďŹ ciary designation. Assets which are jointly owned with another person or which designate a beneďŹ ciary will not pass through a Will, but rather will pass by operation of law. However, if you have invested the time and money to put together an estate plan you will want to ensure that you are utilizing your documents to their fullest potential. For instance, if you have incorporated inheritorsâ€™ trusts or trusts for the beneďŹ t of disabled or minor beneďŹ ciaries, you will want to designate those trusts as the beneďŹ ciaries of your assets, rather than the beneďŹ ciary outright. A word of caution with retirement accounts; not all trusts may be able to accept retirement accounts without a negative tax consequence. Be sure to discuss your beneďŹ ciary designations as part of a comprehensive review of your estate plan. 4.) Are you over-planning for estate taxes? Since the estate tax exemptions have become so large, $5.49 million for Federal Estate Tax and $5.25 million for New York Estate Tax (effective April 1, 2017), your older estate planning documents may have tax planning which is no longer applicable to your estate. Moreover, some estate tax planning may actually hurt your beneďŹ ciaries if estate taxes are not an issue in your estate. For instance, some trusts that remove assets from your estate for estate tax purposes will force your beneďŹ ciaries to lose a â€œstep-upâ€? in cost basis which would save capital gains tax. Make sure your documents are saving your estate the right taxes! 5.) Have you updated your Power of Attorney? Everyone always focuses on their Wills and Trusts but Powers of Attorney and other advance directives are just as signiďŹ cant. It is important to remember that not all Powers of Attorney are created equal! Powers of Attorney which allow you to designate someone to make ďŹ nancial decisions for you are only as good as the powers enumerated within them. There was a signiďŹ cant change in the Power of Attorney law in 2010 which changed the statutory form in New York State to include a gift rider which allows the agent to move money out of the principalâ€™s name; a very important power if Medicaid planning is needed in the future. Be sure not to overlook your Power of Attorney and update same if necessary.
