COLBERT & GREBAS, P.C. Moosic, PA (570) 299-7909 Member since 2013 When it comes to serving the legal needs of our area’s senior citizens, Brenda D. Colbert and Kevin R. Grebas of Moosic- based Colbert & Grebas, P.C. have their best interests at heart and it shows. The duo has each been individually recognized as Certified Elder Law Attorneys (CELA) by the National Elder Law Foundation as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court — that means they have set themselves apart as experts in their field and they are located right in our own back yard.
earned the distinction of Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA) by meeting the rigorous requirements as set forth by the National Elder Law Foundation as authorized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. By earning this distinction, we are two of fewer than 60 CELAs in Pennsylvania.
We had the chance to speak to both attorneys about their work and how it can benefit the area’s older population.
KRG: We have actively participated in social gatherings and various presentations hosted by the Chamber. The Chamber provides an opportunity for us to network with diverse businesses in our area. It also provides a platform for us to let others know more about our firm and the unique services we provide.
Can you tell us more about the law you specialize in?
Kevin R. Grebas (KRG): We are an elder law firm, which means that we have dedicated our practice to serving the legal needs of our seniors. Our services include long-term care and nursing home planning, which is geared towards helping people who need long-term care at home, in an assisted living facility or nursing home to qualify for public benefits such as medical assistance and veterans’ benefits while preserving resources to protect the spouse at home and to leave a legacy to children and loved ones. We also specialize in estate planning, including preparing financial powers of attorney, healthcare powers of attorney and living wills. We also assist with last wills and testaments, trusts and other such legal documents that may be necessary to meet clients’ estate planning goals. In terms of estate administration, we assist families with the probate process and the preparation of inheritance tax returns. Another service we offer is special needs planning, where we assist with creating plans to protect supplemental funds while preserving public benefits eligibility for people with physical, developmental and/or intellectual disabilities. What distinguishes you from other firms specializing in Elder Law?
Brenda D. Colbert (BDC): Kevin and I have 4 • The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce
How has the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce been able to help your business?
What type of experience can potential customers expect when they conduct business with your firm?
BDC: When clients meet with us, they are often nervous about needing an attorney and they are certainly worried about and upset for their loved one in the nursing home. We strive to give our clients peace of mind. We focus on each individual client’s particular needs, rather than providing cookie-cutter advice. What made you decide to open a law practice in Northeastern Pennsylvania?
KRG: We are both originally from northeastern Pennsylvania. Just like our clients, our roots are in this area. We are committed to helping our community; we have chosen to remain here to serve our neighbors. Because we are from here, we understand the unique needs of this community. What do you enjoy most about specializing in Elder Law?
BDC: We both love working with seniors and making their lives easier, if we can. My background is in social work. Because of the area of law in which I practice, I believe that I am a social worker with a legal degree.
What made you decide to specialize in Elder Law?
KRG: I began practicing elder law because I truly enjoy working with seniors and I wanted to be in a field that would allow me to make a positive impact on their lives. It is tremendously rewarding for me to be able to help my clients through some of the most difficult challenges they have ever faced. Clients often believe that they are going to lose all of their assets because of a nursing home placement. Once I explain the planning options, clients are able to feel a sense of relief and gain peace of mind. What is the most important advice you could pass along to individuals about elder law?
BDC: Advance planning to protect assets from devastating nursing home costs is best, but it is truly never too late. With the help of a Certified Elder Law Attorney, a single or widowed individual should be able to protect 50 to 60 percent of his or her estate from the cost of nursing home care, even after admission to a skilled nursing facility. A married applicant can protect considerably more assets. In many instances, all marital assets can be protected for the benefit of the healthy spouse.

FIVE TIPS
TO LOOK GOOD IN YOUR
PHOTOS
222 Mulberry Street P.O. Box 431 Scranton, PA 18501
• 255,964 SF
ASHLEY GRIES, CEO and Founder Simply Lush Portrait Boutique (570) 877-4042 simplylushphoto@gmail.com
• Attached Parking Garage • Availble for Lease or Sale • KIZ Approved
With the holiday season upon us, photo opportunities will abound! Ashley Gries of Simply Lush Portrait Boutique is sharing some tricks of her trade with Momentum readers so everyone is ready for his or her Kodak moment!
• Downtown Scranton
119 Wyoming Avenue
MetroTech Center, Scranton, PA
1. LIGHTING:
Avoid standing directly under a light source. It will cast shadows where you do not want them — for example, it could give you under-eye circles and make your hair color appear flat.
• 36,400 SF office space available
2. PUSH YOUR FACE FORWARD:
• Downtown Scranton
• On-site parking
• Business Incubator Suites available
Elongate your neck and push your face forward ever so slightly. It may feel a little ridiculous, but it makes your face look thinner and disguises any sign of a double chin. Tipping your chin down just a bit also defines your jawline and gives your face a more angular look.
• KIZ approved
3. WORK YOUR ANGLES:
Unless you have supermodel features, facing the camera straight-on is rarely flattering. Turn your head slightly to show off your better side. A three-quarter position gives your features more depth. Remember, a photo shot from above is far more flattering than one shot from below. If you’re taller than the person holding the camera, grab a seat.

Scranton Enterprise Center, Scranton, PA
• 45,249 SF • Parking for 220+
4. DON’T HIDE BEHIND YOUR HAIR:
• Incubator suites
Tucking your hair behind your ears makes your cheekbones look more lifted. At least do one ear to open up your face. Besides, what good is a metallic smoky eye if it’s hidden behind a curtain of hair?
• 30,000 SF Anchor Tenant space • Tax free through 12/31/2020
5. SAY “MONEY” WHEN YOU SMILE:
Try saying “money” instead of “cheese.” The hard “e” sound lifts the corners of your mouth up without looking forced. You can also try gently pressing your tongue against the back of your teeth when you smile. If you have a tendency to smile a little too hard, this little trick prevents your smile from turning into a goofy grin.

SMALL BUSINESS MEANS BIG CELEBRATION
Area Businesses Gearing Up for Small Business Saturday
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2015 Five years ago, American Express created a yearly shopping event as a way to counter the consumer craziness of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small and local and the idea caught on both nationally and locally.
“It is always so amazing to see people have the same passion for their small businesses as I do,” she said. “This year, we are trying to go even bigger. We invited more than 30 local artisans as outside vendors and will have more than 10 corner businesses and restaurants. We’re even going to have a children’s corner with free activities, as well as a visit from Santa Claus and some caroling.
As an American Express Neighborhood Champion, the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce is offering Small Business Saturday kits to its members on a first-come, first-served basis. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, Nov. 28. The Chamber’s commitment to small business isn’t exclusive to the holiday season, president Bob Durkin noted.
Small Business Saturday celebrations are also taking place in Eynon from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., as merchants and service providers along the Business Route 6 corridor and Betty Street have joined together as a community for the third year to give their own kind of Christmas present to the area’s children.
Businesses in the Petersburg section of Scranton will celebrate the day on the 1400 block of Ash Street, with the Petersburg Small Business Saturday Block Party, now in its second year. The block party will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and, as Nibbles and Bits owner Maggie Calpin Hemak said, the businesses hope to “knock it out of the park.”
“With ‘Small Business Saturday Santa’s Way,’ local children through age 12 will receive a map and then travel from participating location to location,” said Linda Parlanti of Greenfield Power Equipment, Clothing and Footwear. “They will collect a treat or gift and can meet with Santa in his horse-drawn carriage from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Romar Plaza. At some locations, the
“We encourage everyone to visit our regional small businesses— not just during the holiday shopping season, but any time you need goods and services,” -Bob Durkin, President, The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce
children can participate in a craft or attend a book reading. There will also be a coloring contest with prizes. The intent is for the area’s merchants to have fun and be with the children.” For more information or to reserve a Small Business Saturday kit, call the Chamber at (570) 342-7711.

SCRANTON ONE OF AMERICA’S BEST COMMUNITIES
As the outreach to various segments of our community for the America’s Best Communities competition has continued over the past four weeks, many exciting ideas have emerged.

A final plan will be submitted to the competition during the first week of November. Results will be announced in January 2016. There will only be eight communities selected in the next round and all will receive $100,000. Three finalist communities will then be awarded between $1 and $3 million to implement their plan.
