3. Tuesday is the Town of Brookhaven's special election for the post of highway superintendent; vote at your regular polling place. Republican Dan Losquadro is facing off against Kathy Walsh, an Independence party member running on the Democratic ticket, and a handful of write-in candidates are hopefuls for the post as well.

4. Are you searching for a new job? This seminar at Port Jefferson Free Library on Tuesday at 7 p.m., entitled "Job Search Secrets," might help.

5. On Wednesday, PJ Cinemas will screen a documentary: BURN: One Year on the Front Lines in the Battle to Save Detroit, which depicts the lives of the firefighters in Detroit's busiest fire company as they struggle through adversity to serve their city.
