Seaville Realty celebrates 25 years in Sayville

One of the biggest financial and most stressful decisions anyone can make is to buy or sell a house. Seaville Realty in Sayville has been helping many local residents do this with caring and confidence for the past 25 years.

Seaville Realty was founded in 1985 by Marilyn Triolo. Marilyn was working for a corporate real estate company and felt something was missing. She saw her client's needs being neglected and she wanted to put them first. Marilyn translated the hometown feel that makes this part of Long Island's south shore so special into her business.

Starting with just three other agents and a secretary, Marilyn opened Seaville Realty in Stop & Shop shopping center, where they still are today. Seaville gets it's name from the town where they are located in - Sayville. When the town was founded it was called Seaville, but a typo accidentally changed it to Sayville.

Seaville Realty is a family run business. Four year after opening Marilyn's son Todd became an agent. In 2007, Todd took the reins from his mom becoming the broker owner of Seaville Realty along with his wife Cathy Triolo and his sister Lynn Triolo Vita, both licensed real estate sales agents. Marilyn has stepped back as owner, but as a real estate agent she is still helping local residents with buying and selling their homes.

From those three agents the business has grown to 28 real estate sales people. One of their agents - Deborah Giglio was just named top agent at Seaville Realty for 2009. That makes a tremendous accomplishment of 11 years straight for Deborah.

For the future, Todd wants Seaville Realty to stay as an independent real estate business. "Being independent allows our agents to give our clients the best service - buying or selling".

Seaville Realty is celebrating their 25th anniversary during the month of April. On April 9th they will be having an open house at their office. Stop by then or anytime to have some goodies, say hi or talk to any of Seaville's caring agents about a house.

Beware of your Jell-o pudding Long Island

Jell-o brand pudding on Long Island has been tampered with this past week. So far, in four different supermarkets 10 boxes of Jell-o pudding had something other then pudding mix inside. Three of the grocery stores are in Suffolk County and one in Nassau County.

Someone apparently buys the pudding and replaces it with something similar to pudding mix. The pudding is returned to the store for a cash refund. The tampering goes unnoticed when the product is returned, but once the box is open something is not right. The replaced pudding mix has been tested and is not harmful, but authorities cannot identify what it is. If your box of Jell-o pudding looks suspicious after opening - do not eat it and call police.

The supermarkets with the tampered pudding were in the towns of Brookhaven, Huntington, Smithtown and Woodbury. These supermarkets have removed all Jell-o products from their shelves and are working with police.

Donate food and lose weight with Curves in Sayville

Spring is peeking it's head around the corner, so it is time to get your winter body in shape and feeling good for the warmer weather. The month of March is the best time to join Curves in Sayville. If you donate a bag of groceries, this is the only time they do not charge an enrollment fee. That's a great deal! Curves is the 30 minute circuit training gym, that mixes aerobic exercise and weights.

The 12th Annual Curves Food Drive has started and the Sayville Curves is collecting for Sayville Food Pantry and Blue Point Outreach Program. Last year they collected 965 pounds of food and they hope to surpass this. The food pantries are in need of non-perishable food like - spaghetti sauce, canned fruit, healthy kid snacks, cereal, canned vegetables, laundry detergent and grocery gift cards.

Curves in Sayville is a very kid friendly place, so there are no excuses for not working out. In the back of the gym, there is a play area for your children and you do not have to pay extra for it, like at other gyms. Often the cost of childcare at other gyms ends up being the same as your membership. They have a TV with a DVD player, toys, table, chairs and markers to keep your little ones busy. While working out, you see your kids the whole time and it is very safe.

Besides the exercise, Curves also helps you with eating. They have The Curves Fitness & Weight Management Plan. The book is $10 and the classes are free when you are a member. The plan is very easy to follow with three phases. You just open the book to what phase you are on. Look for what meal you need and there are tons of options, even for busy ladies with kids always on the go.

Grilled cheese and crab at Shandon Court

In everyone's family life you need some big people time. Meeting old friends last night, we went to Shandon Court on Main Street in East Islip. What a truly nice place!

Hanging out in the large bar area was very comfortable with plenty of room to stand. There are also a bunch of small tables and chairs, to sit and chat or have a bite to eat in a relaxed atmosphere. The bar is huge - again with lots of places to sit. Last night they had live music.

Besides the great drinks and friends - you have to try Shandon Court's food. It is delicious. We only stayed in the bar area, but the bar menu is what would be on the dinner menu at most restaurants. The one thing that I dreamed about last night was Shandon Court's grilled cheese and crab meat sandwich. It definitely was different, but you must try it. It is done with bakery fresh bread, tons of real crab meat and Munster cheese. Just scrumptious! The other food on their menu was great too and priced affordable.

All of the staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant part is away from the bar for diners that want a full meal. There are also two other totally separate catering rooms - fit for everything from a birthday party to a small wedding. Shandon Court is an all round great place to stop and have a drink or throw a party. And the best part is the grilled cheese and crab meat sandwich - yum!
