Community Events and Happenings “Workers Without Wheels” Event is a Success in Mastic Beach This past July, 18 year old Jonah Santos, a senior at William Floyd High School, and his father David Santos, launched a new bike shop business called "Fixed Gears Bike Shop" in Mastic Beach. Their mission is more than just selling and repairing bikes. They want to give back to the community and help improve the lives of their fellow residents. They share their vision with Pastor Patrick “PJ” Balzer, who formed Kings Kids Christian Outreach in Mastic Beach to help residents and families in need. The two partnered this past Saturday, August 20 to offer adult bicycles, as well as some kids bikes, to people without cars or easy access to mass transportation. The event resulted in 45 bicycles being given out to local residents that rely on bikes every day. Legislator Kate Browning (WF-Shirley) and Legislator Kate Browning, PJ Balzer and his wife Catherine Gutierrez, David her Chief of Staff Josh Slaughter attended the event to and Jonah Santos, and Chief of Staff Josh Slaughter in front of Fixed Gear Bike present organizations with certificates of appreciation Shop in Mastic Beach. for their efforts. Throughout the morning a steady stream of families attended the bike giveaway event. The event featured "good condition and repairable bikes" offered on a "first come, while supply lasts" basis to anyone that needed transportation to work, school or care programs. The day was made possible by donations of bikes, bike parts and/or funding for the purchase of parts that were needed. They offered the bikes under the banner of "Workers Without Wheels". “Workers Without Wheels” is a program founded in 2011 by Pastor Dwight Wolter of the Congregational church in Patchogue. To date, the program has given away well over 200 bicycles. “We take for granted every day the privilege of owning a car to get to and from work,” said Legislator Browning. “Unfortunately, there are fellow neighbors that have fallen on hard times who don’t have the luxury of owning a vehicle or being able to purchase a bike. I applaud Fixed Gear Bike Shop and Kings Kids Christian Outreach for filling this need for our residents who must rely on bikes to survive. They are doing great work and I was happy to recognize them for their efforts.”

Editorial...
All About Diabetes Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles. There are 23.6 million children and adults in the United States, or 7.8% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 17.9 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 5.7 million people (or nearly one quarter) are unaware that they have the disease. In order to determine whether or not a patient has pre-diabetes or diabetes, health care providers conduct a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test (FPG) or an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Either test can be used to diagnose pre-diabetes or diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends the FPG because it is easier, faster, and less expensive to perform. With the FPG test, a fasting blood glucose level between 100 and 125 mg/dl signals prediabetes. A person with a fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dl or higher has diabetes. In the OGTT test, a person's blood glucose level is measured after a fast and two hours after drinking a glucose-rich beverage. If the two-hour blood glucose level is between 140 and 199 mg/dl, the person tested has pre-diabetes. If the two-hour blood glucose level is at 200 mg/dl or higher, the person tested has diabetes. Major Types of Diabetes Type 1 diabetes Results from the body's failure to produce insulin, the hormone that "unlocks" the cells of the body, allowing glucose to enter and fuel them. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes Results from insulin resistance (a condition in which the body fails to properly use insulin), combined with relative insulin deficiency. Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes Immediately after pregnancy, 5% to 10% of women with gestational diabetes are found to have diabetes, usually, type 2. Pre-diabetes Pre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There are 57 million Americans who have pre-diabetes, in addition to the 23.6 million with diabetes. No matter what kind of diabetes you have, it affects many parts of your life. You can get help from health professionals trained to focus on different areas, from head to toe. A health care team helps you use the health care system to its fullest.

Community Viewpoint... Supporting Trump Dear Editor: Hillary Clinton has forgotten what it means to be a public servant, if she ever understood public service at all. E-mails show that while Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation accepted large payments from overseas corporations and wealthy foreigners. Then, those same donors, who had significant business before the State Department, received favorable treatment from Crooked Hillary in her role as Secretary of State. In response, Donald Trump has called for an independent Special Prosecutor to investigate this corruption because, as it turns out, the Department of Justice has also acted unethically. In particular, Attorney General Loretta Lynch's lengthy meeting with Former President Bill Clinton on a private plane just prior to the DOJ's decision not to prosecute his wife for her crimes was a "courtesy" that never would have been extended to the average citizen. This blatant favoritism showed the American public that justice is not blind! Fox News: Is a special prosecutor needed to investigate Clinton Foundation? An honest and forthright Special Prosecutor will conclude the following: • Crooked Hillary's actions corrupted and disgraced one of the most important Departments of government, indeed one of only four established by the United States Constitution itself. • The Clintons made the State Department into the same kind of Pay-to-Play operations as the Arkansas Government was: pay the Clinton Foundation huge sums of money and throw in some big speaking fees for Bill Clinton and you got to play with the State Department. • The amounts involved, the favors done and the significant numbers of times it was done require an expedited investigation by a Special Prosecutor. After the Obama Administration's Department of Justice whitewashed of the Clinton email crimes, they certainly cannot be trusted to quickly or impartially investigate Hillary Clinton's crimes. The Justice Department must appoint an independent Special Prosecutor because it has proven itself to be a political arm of the White House! Here is one example of Clinton Corruption: As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton signed off on a deal allowing Russians to take an increased stake in a company called Uranium One, giving up control of about 20 percent of America's uranium supply to the Russians. Clinton's approval of the deal netted the owners of the uranium company millions of dollars. In exchange for signing off on the deal, some of the former owners of Uranium One gave the Clinton Foundation millions of dollars in donations. In addition, Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a speech to a Kremlin-backed investment firm that was a beneficiary of the deal. A Trump Administration will end the government corruption. No one will be above the law and we will have one set of rules for everyone. In 77 days, only the American voters can help make that happen. I hope you are ready! Sincerely, John Jay LaValle Chairman, Suffolk County Republican Committee To the People of Mastic Beach Dear Editor: This is a letter to all the people put up signs and to the people who say yes to the Village of Mastic Beach. I have lived here for 86 years and am very sorry to see what has happened to our once wonderful town since village took over. The businesses are closing one after the other because of the village high taxes they charged the business along with the other restrictions they have put upon them. Also look at the way the village has wrecked our town and waterfront they took over 6 1/2 miles of waterfront and mariners from the MBPOA and neglected to take full charge after they sued the M B P O A and forced them out of waterfront land and mariners. Thank God the M B O P A still got the section 1 marina and it still looks good. Look at section 5 marina and the rest of the waterfront it is a
junk heap. The people with the signs that say yes to the village should look back at what a mess the village has created. Many more houses are now abandoned and boarded up streets are dirtier now than ever from lack of them cleaning them. All they can do is to collect and also do as little as they can. I could go on forever about how the villege is doing less for us but the South Shore Press has little space for me to go on and on. Just think what you are doing with your signs just to please a few people that are in charge of the village. A GOOD DEAL RIGHT NOW IS TO DISOLVE THE VILLAGE and go back to the good way we had it before the village came to being. Let’s get rid of the village and all the money grabbers that ruin the once was a good town. STOP AND THINK. Sincerely, Jerry Riebe Mastic Beach Mastic Beach Village Dear Editor: Five and a half years ago, a group of concerned citizens came together because of a fervent belief that local control is vitally important to the future of Mastic Beach and that faith in controlling our own destiny will lead to a brighter future. This is what drove us to want to break away from the TOB, a place the size of the state of Rhode Island. Mastic Beach, this jewel by the bay, should not be allowed to be used as a dumping ground by uncaring absentee landlords, content on collecting their rent without much concern for their neighbors or the overall community. Negligent landlords should be held accountable because the blight they cause affects everyone's property values and their daily quality of life. The Village has been successful in this fight, evidenced by the more than $120,000 in fines and fees collected this past year. The ability to have a say in how government spending should be used, indeed that we have gotten any of it at all, is because we are a village. Those in favor of seeking dissolution are suggesting that we return to the indifference we endured for so many years and Brookhaven knows better about what is good for us than we know ourselves. I am glad to be the squeaky wheel who has the ear of government officials in my role as a civic leader and citizen. Our association's members care deeply about quality of life issues, the future of waterfront and land use policy affecting our community, replenishing the dunes, having a say in storm resiliency plans and fighting for our fair share of government funding from NYS' NY Rising and federal plans for the Montauk to Fire Island Inlet storm resiliency project are just a few of the government agendas that we are involved in and committed to. Additionally, nearly 2,000 feral cats have been spayed or neutered by our O Cat committee members and volunteers in collaboration with ARF and Brookhaven's Animal Shelter. I am very proud of the volunteers who worked very hard to produce this year's Ninth Annual Harvest Festival to be held on Saturday, Sept. 17 on Neighborhood Road. The most vocal person in favor of the dissolution of the Village lives in a private, gated community, not in the real world where I and others fight for a better life for family and friends and the future potential of our village.This mayor's past administration and control of the votes on the board brought excessive legal fees, audits, investigations, excesses in salaries and malfeasance with a $400,000 budget mistake which led to a deficit. Mayor Spery wanted to fix it by increasing taxes 125% and keeping her people employed. Not one dollar for QOL issues such as the demolition of seriously blighted houses. I and many of my neighbors would be glad to pay more taxes to improve our QOL! Don't allow the Town of Brookhaven to decide our future. Get the facts before you allow that to happen. Our coming together as a village is our only chance of achieving our potential. Sincerely, Frank Fugarino Pattersquash Creek Civic Association Civic Leader and Resident

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 "walk-in" 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.

CENTER MORICHES UPDATE
n OP-ED by KELLY PLATT
I was alerted about this by a friend. Criminals are becoming more creative in finding a way to rob you. BE ALERT while you are driving your vehicle if someone throws an egg at your windshield. DO NOT use your wipers and do not use the wiper cleaner, it will make the egg milky, therefore, making you to have to pull over which makes you be a prime target for criminal’s misdeeds! Be aware of your surroundings and drive safely. Summer vacation sure went by fast. In the blink of an eye, school starts Tuesday, September 6th, which is the first day back to school for most kids. Some parents will be teary-eyed while sending their little ones off to school after summer break or it may be their very first day of school entering kindergarten or first grade. A message to those motorists who have to drive through a school zone: Please obey the posted school zone speed limit. The Suffolk County Legislature held a hearing last year on speed light cameras and then, passed a resolution to seek approval from the state to install these devices outside local schools. The same legislation was approved in the Nassau County Legislature unanimously requesting state permission to install up to 56 of these cameras in school zones. Granted, this will bring in revenue to both counties, but what really is needed, is more police patrol within the school zones to curb drivers speeding in school zones with posted speed limits. The Suffolk County Police Department will be placing out speed monitoring systems in the coming weeks in strategic areas to catch speeders. If you are pulled over for speeding in a school zone, I believe that is not only a fine you will have to pay, but it will be points on your driver’s license. Please also be alert when a school bus displays their flashing lights, this is to alert a motorist to stop in both directions and wait for the discharge of children. For a first conviction in passing a school bus with its flashers on, be punished by a fine of not less than two hundred fifty dollars nor more than four hundred dollars or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days or by both such fine and imprisonment; for a conviction of a second violation, both of which were committed within a period of three years, such person shall be punished by a fine of not less than six hundred dollars nor more than seven hundred fifty dollars or by imprisonment for not more than one hundred eighty days or by both such fine and imprisonment; upon a conviction of a third or subsequent violation, all of which were committed within a period of three years, such person shall be punished by a fine of not less than seven hundred fifty dollars nor more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment for not more than one hundred eighty days or by both such fine and imprisonment. Be alert and drive carefully !!!

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS - LGBTQ RIGHTS IN SCHOOLS – As summer comes to an end and children are heading back to school, the New York State Civil Liberty Union (NYSCLU) is working hard to inform parents and kids of their rights in school as they pertain to gender issues. The following is a reprint of student’s in New York – AT SCHOOL, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO….. 1. Be safe and free from harassment and bullying. 2. Be treated equally and not be discriminated against because of your sexual orientation or gender identity. 3. Be “out” about your sexual orientation and gender identity. 4. Dress and act in a way that does not conform to stereotypes associated with your gender. 5. Wear clothes that fit the gender you identify with. 6. Start a gay-straight alliance. 7. Wear LGBTQ-positive or political t-shirts, stickers, or bracelets. 8. Speak out about LGBTQ issues. 9. Access pro-LGBTQ websites or information about LGBTQ issues on your school’s computers. 10. Bring your same-sex girlfriend or boyfriend to prom. 11. Use a gender neutral restroom, or a restroom that corresponds with your gender identity, if you are transgender. YOUR SCHOOL HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO ….. 1. Not discriminate against you. 2. Protect you from harassment because of your sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. 3. Create an environment free from sex and gender stereotypes in which you are allowed to be yourself. 4. Respect your privacy. The NYSCLU believes, and some courts have agreed, that your school cannot reveal your sexual orientation or transgender identity to other people (like your parents) without your permission, even if you are out at school. 5. Respect your gender identity by calling you by your preferred name and gender pronoun (“he” or “she”) and treat you equally with peers of your asserted gender. REPORT BEING HARASSED OR DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IMMEDIATEY… 1. Don’t be silent! Report the problem immediately. 2. Write down a who/what/where/when/why description of every incident. 3. Write down the dates you reported every incident, who you reported them to, and what action that person said he or she would take. 4. If your school is not fixing the problem, contact the NYSCLU at – www.nysclu.org/LGBTQyouthrights South Shore Counseling & Mediation Center is a full service mental health agency, offering family counseling, therapeutic counseling for individuals (adults, adolescents & teens), couples, a variety of behavioral and psycho-educational programs, and child custody and divorce mediation.

A TRUE MARINE by BARBARA GUARINO KRUK It takes a special person to become a member of the Marine Corps. A driving personality, unwavering courage and unshakeable patriotism, seem to be the hallmark traits of a US Marine. If only one word were required to define a Marine, it would be “dedicated”. Dedicated to the pursuit of freedom, the protection of liberty and unfailing honor. These are the men and women who are first on the ground in any conflict. Their specialized training makes them stronger, tougher and more disciplined than other groups. Ronald John Jones, 1934 ~ 2016, was a true United States Marine. He lived by the Marine code of conduct. He was a man of integrity, with great devotion to God, family and country. A family man who cherished his wife Barbara for the past forty-four years. He was the proud and loving father to his two adoring girls, Stephanie and Cynthia. Ronnie and Barbara suffered a devastating blow when their beloved Stephanie died, but they held strong to their belief in the Lord and their love for each other. A hard worker, Ronnie retired for the King Kullen Supermarket chain after many years. He was a simple man who enjoyed the gifts of the sea and nature. An avid fisherman, Ronnie, loved going to Smith’s Point and being at the beach. Men like Ronnie Jones want and need to help others. He decided early on that he wanted to give back to his community. He promptly joined the Mastic Beach Fire Department and has been an active and steadfast member, having achieved the honorable status of life time member. It was there, with his brother firemen, that Ronnie found his second home. Ronnie and his family have been devoted members of St. Jude’s Parish. He joined the Shrine Knights of Columbus and was always willing to help with the cause. If there was one word to define Ronald John Jones it would be “Dedicated”. A true Marine to the end. His family is asking that donations in his memory be made to the St. Jude’s Shrine Capital Campaign.

PLAZA MAC “DOWN ON THE FARM”
The Plaza Cinema & Media Arts Center held its first, very successful, outdoor screening of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin silent films at the sprawling farm of Isabella Rossellini. The beautiful Ms. Rossellini graciously took guests for a walk around and presentation of her farm’s varied programs which included sheep herding and the farms’ rare breeds of chickens. Afterwards everyone settled in to watch the outdoor presentation of the silent films. The splendidly restored classic silent movies were accompanied by pianist Donald Sosin and performer Joanna Seaton, who lead everyone in a sing-a-long. Both Sosin and Seaton are among a select few who create and perform live music for classic silent films.
Hurricane Prep, Part II – The Boat by VINCENT T. PICA, II COMMODORE FIRST DISTRICT, SOUTHERN REGION (D1SR) - UNITED STATES COAST GUARD AUXILIARY We’ve written a few times about what you should do to prepare for hurricanes, “hurry-canes” (as I call these squalls that blow through at 40-60mph and are gone in a ‘hurry’) and just good stiff blows… They were largely about what you and your family should do (like never stay on the boat nor drive through running water.) What about the boat? Tis the season of heavy weather. This column is about that. Let Me Say It Again… Never stay on the boat. I know. There are old timers that swear by it. “I’ve saved my boat every time when others were lost.” With absolute certainty, it is simply because the winds – and seas – never exceeded the operational capacity of the engines. But when they do, you will be lost with the boat. The boat is just money. You are someone. If you care about the people who care about you, read on – and leave the boat behind while you take your loved ones to high ground. The Spider Web of Lines If you can’t get the boat out of the water and on to “the hard”, then you are compelled to protect her in her natural element – the water. But the sea presents forces magnified beyond the speed of the wind – it is the momentum of the wind-driven seas and the tidal surge. The storm tide is added to the astronomical tides. And when those waves hit something solid, they generate force
dozens of times more powerful than wind of the same speed. Sandy generated a storm surge of 14 feet. Andrew generated a storm tide of 17 feet. Camille in 1969? 24 feet. While nothing will save the boat from that, the vast majority of storm-driven tidal surges are significant but really fractions of that. So, with a “spider web of lines”, you can create a fighting chance that your beauty will ride out the storm.
What is common to all these configurations is lots of lines and long expanses of them. In three of them, you can also see that multiple anchors are used as well. The longer lines are there to address the tidal surge. The additional lines are there for back-up. Losing one line to stress doesn’t completely undo everything you’ve done. Chafe Guards Without doubt, you will need chafe guards of some kind since the storm will put extreme stresses on the lines where
they are wrapped around the cleats and chocks. Your ground tackle too will need additional chafe protection. Think of the storm as putting a summer’s worth of stress on your lines – for every hour of ‘blow.’ If you go through a set of lines every two summers, they will never withstand a half-day of a serious ‘blow.’ And that is assuming that they are new. What to use? The universal winnertake-all is old garden hose. Lay the line through a length of hose and lay that through the chock or along the toe rail where your line crosses the gunwale on its way to a cleat on the dock. In a pinch, duct tape (a TON of it) works really well. And it is more pliable than garden hose. For the aficionados, they will hate it because it looks like hell – but it works. BTW, while you can (now!), be sure that the cleats on the boat and on the dock are through-bolted with a backing plate. If not, they will become high-speed guided missiles as they fly out of their bedding under strain. And the boat will be free… No garden hose? Improvise. Leather straps. Rags. Anything helps, just some things help more than others. Cut Your Windage Do whatever you can to lower the boat’s profile to the wind. Take down the bimini cover and lash it. If you can’t, open the windows. Take down the antennas. Even that little bit of additional windage can tip the balance. A sailboat?
I know I don’t need to say that you must stow all the sails, even the furled ones, below or ashore. If the boat has dorades or cowls, seal them. Wind – or wind-driven water – getting below at high speed can’t be good. Duct tape… And take in all the electronics and seal the boat’s electrical leads with tape. Fenders and Fender Boards Yes. As many as possible, put them out. I always suggest that they be secured to the boat, rather than the dock. If the boat does break free, at least she is taking some of her protection with her. In Summary Make a check list – now. If you need one, email me below and I will send you one. Do you want a copy of the BoatUS guide for boat and marina owners? Email me below and I’ll send that too. And remember these words: “The time for taking all measures for a ship’s safety is while still able to do so. Nothing is more dangerous than for a seaman to be grudging in taking precautions lest they turn out to have been unnecessary. Safety at sea fora thousand years has depended on exactly the opposite philosophy.” —Admiral Chester W. Nimitz BTW, if you are interested in being part of USCG Forces, email me at JoinUSCGAux@aol.com or go direct to the D1SR Human Resources department, who are in charge of new members matters, at DSO-HR and we will help you “get in this thing…”

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP
Andrea Kalkstein Lieberman was driving east on the Long Island Expressway, approaching Manorville on Sunday, August 21, in the left-hand lane, when “three cars cut in front of me, zoomed around me so fast—and sped off weaving around cars. ” She gauged their speed at 90 miles per hour. She said the three cars seemed to be playing “cat and mouse together.” “A few minutes later,” Ms. Lieberman related, “traffic slowed down and I saw a huge cloud of dust ahead.” Then she passed the scene of the horrific event in which one of the eastbound cars had flown into the LIE’s westbound lane. Six persons died. “They could have killed me,” said Ms. Lieberman, a businesswoman from Water Mill, and a friend. She called the Suffolk Police Department three times to provide an account of what she had witnessed. The crash was a terrible tragedy. Among those killed were Scott Martella, communications director for the Suffolk County executive and previously a staffer for Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Isadore and Helen Adelson of Westhampton, who were on their way to a wedding. Also killed was Carmelo Pinales of Hicksville, driver of what police say was a speeding car that went out of control, careened across a grass median and went airborne and struck the autos that Mr. Martella and the Adelsons were in. Dead, too: Mr. Pinales’s son and a sister. Others were injured. What Suffolk Police say was the cause—a speeding driver—is reflected in what I see regularly on the LIE. I drive 50 miles each way on the LIE, in Suffolk and Nassau Counties, heading to and returning from SUNY College at Old Westbury, where I teach. I’ve been driving a Toyota Prius in recent years and thus can make use of the HOV lane that covers most of the stretch—and like the lane not only for its lighter volume but because it provides somewhat of a separation from the scene in the regular lanes.
On the average, every other day I see one, two or three maniacal drivers racing at 80 miles an hour and more, weaving through traffic in those lanes. To them it seems, the LIE is a racetrack despite it often being congested. And they endanger the lives of so many people as they zoom in and out, cutting in front of cars and trucks and rocketing ahead in wild zig-zags. It’s reckless driving at its worst. Some of these drivers are caught. But in my experience, it isn’t so often that I see one of these dangerous road-racers having been pulled off to the side of the LIE by police. Among recent articles on these characters—at least those who have been caught—was one in July about an 18-year-old Deer Park woman charged with speeding on the LIE at over 110 miles per hour and making “multiple unsafe lane changes without signaling,” according to the police report. In June, a 23-year-old Bronx man was arrested for racing his car at more than 100 miles per hour on the LIE. He was caught because a video was posted on YouTube and Facebook by another one of the drivers
The ‘TOAST’ of Patchogue
• Story amd photos by BABARA LAMONICA
Toast Coffeehouse sits nestled in the heart of the Village of Patchogue at 46 East Main Street, and is as casual, comfortable and eclectic as its name suggests. First established in the Village of Port Jefferson in 2002, Toast opened its second location in Patchogue this past January and has quickly become the ‘go-to’ place for a light or hearty breakfast, brunch or lunch. The friendly, cordial wait staff caters to customers to ensure total satisfaction as Manager James Skidmore keeps a keen eye on operations and makes guests feel welcome during their visit. First and foremost, it cannot be overstated that the food is fresh, and the restaurant is clean. Attention to detail is paid right down to the fresh-cut lemon wedges that accompany any of the crispy fresh homemade Chicken in the Garden or Lemon Chicken salads. Lunch options are varied from Toast’s Lite Bite soup and salad combos, to a new Spicy Shrimp and Mango salad, to a wide array of Wraps, to Café Burgers to Toast Specialties, including the notto-be missed Rocky Mountain Steak - all made to order at guests’ requests. But it is Toast’s breakfast menu that may well have put this popular restaurant on the map. Of the six French toast varieties on the menu, the Graham Cracker French Toast dish is a breakfast of choice. This French toast recipe includes peanut butter and sliced ba-
nana enveloped in bread encrusted with mashed graham crackers which adds just the right amount of crunch, then topped with drizzled with caramel sauce. For the Pancake lover, the menu boasts ten choices that make this breakfast decision difficult. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is highly recommended. You can choose between a regular order, or the short stack consisting of two huge pancakes that cover the entire plate. Any of Toast’s pancake dishes is worth paying two dollars additional for 100% real maple syrup. It should be noted that all dishes are very moderately priced and the portions are beyond generous. In fact, many of the guests appear content as they leave toting boxed leftovers. Skidmore is proud of his establishment as he scans the restaurant packed with happy patrons. He notes that Toast will be open some evenings beginning in October where tapas, fondues, beer, wine, and cheese plates will be featured. Live music will complement the ambiance designed to attract a 35 and over crowd. Open seven days a week, Toast serves patrons Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m., and 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekends. Take-out is an option and gift cards make thoughtful gifts. For more information log on to Toast.com or call (631) 654-7091.
doing high-speed cat-and-mouse with him on the LIE. “Police said they believe at least three drivers were racing as they headed to a car show,” stated the story on the WCBS/2-TV website. The video proudly presented the cars weaving through LIE traffic at high speed. Startling was the paragraph in the article in which Nassau County Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter (a SUNY Old Westbury graduate) said only misdemeanor charges could be brought “because state lawmakers have been unable to agree on measures upgrading reckless speeding as a felony.” After the Manorville tragedy, I used Google to explore whether New York State—with its governmental dysfunction—was alone in not coming down hard on this madness. It is not. Reckless driving is just a misdemeanor in states throughout the U.S. The penalty can be up to a year in jail—the maximum for misdemeanors nationally—but in many states it is far less: as little as five days, 30 days, 90 days, and so on. In New York State it is 30 days for the first offense. There are also fines and driver’s license suspension or revocation. But for these characters on our highways, the penalties should be much, much tougher. In their hands, motor vehicles constitute instruments of murder. Moreover, policing must be much stronger on the LIE. Governments have budget constraints. But, surely, a major push to apprehend those who make the LIE so dangerous to drive on—especially by providing unmarked police cars regarded by those in law enforcement as so important to catch reckless speeders—is a top priority. As one person commented on the News 12 Long Island website about the June videotaped road race on the LIE: “The insensitivity and ignorance of these drivers is criminal. The death toll on our Long Island highways has reached epidemic proportions.”

How To Choose The Right Dance Shoes You have taken a few ballroom dance lessons and are starting to get more serious about dancing. It's time to look into purchasing some dance shoes! A pair of quality dance shoes, with its special construction and materials, will help you learn better and dance longer. Below are 5 important things to consider when choosing the right dance shoes. 1. MAKE SURE IT FITS LIKE A GLOVE When you first try on a pair of dance shoes, make sure they fit snugly without excessive pressure. This will give you the most control of your shoes even after they are broken in. I usually go a half or full size down for my dance shoes. 2. OPEN TOE VS. CLOSED TOE Generally, open toe shoes are designed for Latin and rhythm dances, such as Salsa, Rumba and swing, which require more pointing of the toes and articulation of the feet. The opening in the shoes allows you to point your toes easier and execute footwork more precisely. Closed toe shoes are designed for smooth/standard dances, such as Foxtrot and Waltz, as these dances require a more traditional classic look. Unless you are focusing on a particular dance style, beginning dancers can pretty much choose any style you'd like. Though, when you first learn to dance, it's almost inevitable to get stepped on once in a while, so you may consider getting closed toe shoes as they provide some protection for your pedicured toes :) 3. HEEL HEIGHTS The heel height for Latin and ballroom dance shoes ranges from 1.5" to 3". For
beginning dancers, you should choose a heel height that gives you the most comfort. If you are not accustomed to wearing heels, you may want to start with shoes that have a lower heel to start with. Also, there are different shapes of heel, such as slim and flared. A flared heel is a popular choice as it gives you more stability. For men's dance shoes, a 1" heel is designed for ballroom dance styles while a 1.5" Cuban heel is designed for Latin dance styles. Unless you are participating in dance competitions, a 1" heel is generally sufficient for both ballroom and Latin dancing. 4. SUEDE SOLE SHOES It is recommended to have a suede sole for your dance shoes. The suede sole gives you the right amount of slip and traction so that you can feel more balanced and have more control when turning and moving around the dance floor. Every once in a while, you need to brush the suede sole with a wire dance shoe brush to maintain its roughness. 5. BUYING DANCE SHOES ONLINE VS. IN STORE Whether you order shoes online or purchase them in a store, I suggest you first go to a dance supply store to try on some shoes. Since sizing can vary from brand to brand, it is best to try and compare various brands, sizes and models to ensure you find the right fit. I hope this is helpful to anyone who is buying their first pair of ballroom dance shoes! Please leave me a comment if you have any questions about choosing dance shoes. I'd love to help!

We also have a Regional and National Award Winning Competition Team that takes great pride in everything they accomplish through their hard work and determination.

Our award winning staff, Katie Smith, Donald Aversa, Kayla Tauby, Ashley Czarnecki, Amanda Delvecchio and Samantha Favia all grew up in this community and have spent most of their lives dancing at Elite Dancers as well as now teaching there. Our hard working and dedicated staff is devoted to bringing the best dance education possible to your dancer but more importantly they strive to teach your child strength, confidence and pride in themselves and what they’ve accomplished. In this very
uncertain world every child needs an environment where they can be themselves, learn, have fun and feel safe both physically and emotionally. Elite Dancers prides itself on accomplishing just that. Your child and their happiness is our first priority. The unsung heroes of Elite Dancers include the office staff. Donna Smith, the office manager, Teresa Echeverria and Mary Ann Roach work diligently to make sure families feel welcome. They take pride in answering questions, addressing any parent concerns and being very knowledgeable. The office staff work together with the teaching staff on student placement to make sure all dancers are comfortable in their classes. It is a privilege to teach our dancers not only dance technique but also to instill some life lessons
along the way. In class our dancers learn dance technique, but we also try to teach how to share, communicate, be patient and problem solve if needed. Above all we make this a fun and rewarding experience for each child. Come meet us and tour our facility in Monarch Center at 225 Montauk Highway, Moriches, NY. We will be open every Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30pm – 7:30pm until classes start on Monday, September 12th at which time we will be open Monday-Thursday starting at 4:30pm and Saturday starting at 9:00am.

We hope to see you in the 2016-2017 dance season!

Studio East Dance Center Studio East officially opened its doors in 2012 and has had overwhelming success since its first curtain rise. Known as a dance studio that truly feels like home, the studio welcomes dancers ages 1 ½ through Adults, and offers all students professional and diverse instruction from accomplished teachers. Whatever the goal, Studio East has a program to suit any dancer’s dreams. Whether it’s the recital program (culminating in a performance in June) or competition level classes (for those who really want to dedicate their life to dance) that catch your eye, or even a recreational program (for those who want to just enjoy dancing), Studio East has a class to satisfy your needs. Regardless of the program, all teachers dedicate themselves to the development of the dancer, and each dance instructor brings their unique background, experiences and personality to the studio. If competing is your thing, the competition team brings their best foot forward at Nationals every summer. This highly regarded annual competition travels all over the nation and has been held in places like Hershey Park, Mohegan Sun, and Las Vegas. This past year at Nationals nearly every group dance competed and scored a perfect 5 Stars, making it into the top ten overall highest scored dances in their respective categories. These dance competitions not only highlight the dedication and hard work of all students, but showcase how the teams work together to motivate and support each other, walking away with pride no matter which trophy is in hand. The Studio East experience extends outside the studio and into the community. Dancers participate in local parades such as the Riverhead Holiday Parade and Westhampton St. Patty’s Day parade, where they rely on teamwork to build award-winning floats (1st place in 2015)! They’ve had the honor of performing at the grand opening of a car dealership in Riverhead, and the owner, Erin Judd, is always seeking out community events to which dancers can bring their spirit. Students also indulge in the art of
dance by visiting the city via field trips at least twice a year where they take workshops by professional choreographers and see Broadway shows that inspire and entertain. These events all serve to broaden the dance experience, developing not only one’s technical skills as a ballerina or tapdancer but serving to develop social skills, tapping into culture and community-service, and building confidence - ultimately cultivating a well-rounded personality that carries on into adulthood. Not only are the teachers top notch, the dance programs’ rigorous yet fun, but the studio space itself is designed to bring out the best in each student. The fully operational dance studio is 1200 square feet - the size of an actual stage so that each dancer has enough space to express themselves. The sprung dance and marley floor is the ultimate performance surface ensuring safety and is ideal for any and all dance styles! So if you are looking for a space to express yourself, learn from the best, make an impact in the world around you, and have some fun, then sashay your way into Studio East to get started on making your dance dreams come true!

East End Trophy and Awards, Long Island’s Recognition Experts In today’s world where consumerism is incredibly fast-paced and dominated by big corporations, it’s nice to see family operated businesses continuing on. East End Trophy and Awards owner, John Sumwalt, is continuing on the business his father started in 1980. “My mom and dad had a family run business called J M Engraving,” said Sumwalt. “I grew up watching my dad in this business and I would often help. I saw that he developed a reputation for high quality products and that’s something I wanted to continue. In 2012 when he decided to retire, I decided to continue the business as East End Trophy and Awards.” Sumwalt said there are advancements he’s made to help the business grow, while at the same time, he keeps many of the family values with the business. “When I opened my business, we moved to more advanced laser engravers,” said Sumwalt. “Personal service is something my dad and mom did for years and giving personal attention to each product is important.” Sumwalt said he often makes home visits for the initial consultation for the client’s convenience. East End Trophy and Awards offers plaques, trophies, awards, engraved crystal and glasses as well as custom products such as law enforcement shadow boxes. As a law enforcement officer himself, Sumwalt enjoys producing these custom products. “Having worn the badge, I believe I know what kind of award people would like to receive and what it means to them,” said Sumwalt. “One thing that’s great about this job is people always like to receive awards. That smile that is brought to a persons face when they receive that recognition, I have some small part of that.” “We really strive to provide the best product at the lowest cost,” said Sumwalt.

Phone: 631-941-3434 • email: burnerlaw12@gmail.com Question: My friend just created a Revocable Living Trust and I am not sure if I should be considering creating one as well. I am in my sixties and have an estate worth approximately $800,000.00. My current Last Will and Testament disinherits my estranged son. Is a Revocable Trust something I should consider? Answer: A Revocable Living Trust is a trust that you create during your lifetime and is great tool for those who wish to avoid the probate process. A Revocable Trust is designed to give you, as the grantor (creator) great flexibility. With a Revocable Trust, you may act as your own trustee. This allows you to maintain complete control over your assets during your lifetime. With a Revocable trust, assets can be freely transferred in and out of the trust. You can also change or revoke the trust at any time and make all decisions regarding the Trust. Assets commonly transferred into these trusts include residences and investments such as bank accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks and bonds. In the event of your incapacity, a Revocable Trust can provide for a seamless transition for the management of your affairs. The person(s) you have selected as successor or co-trustee would simply take over the management of those assets titled in the name of the trust, possibly avoiding the need for a Property Management Guardian. Even though the initial cost to create a Revocable Trust may be more than the cost of executing a Last Will and Testament, spending the money to do a trust now may save your family money in the long run since trusts avoid the probate process. Probate is the process wherein a Last Will and Testament is admitted to Surrogate’s Court. Like any court process, it costs money and can delay the process if an heir is being disinherited. Should probate be required in order to administer your estate, even though you have chosen to disinherit him, your son will be given notice of the proceeding and an opportunity to challenge your will. Although your wishes may still be upheld, navigating through the process can be costly and time consuming, resulting in a smaller inheritance and delay for your intended beneficiaries. With a trust, unlike a probate proceeding, there is no notification required when a trust is administered. Your trustee can simply distribute the assets as you have set forth in the trust agreement. When considering your estate planning, it is important to note that, a Revocable Living Trust does not protect your assets for purposes of Medicaid eligibility. How to best structure your individual estate plan is an important and personal decision, which you should discuss with your estate planning attorney before making any final decisions.
