Town to honor 9/11 responders
The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that it will be accepting applications to recognize all those with a connection to the Town who gave their lives and succumbed in their battle against 9/11 related cancers and illness. Over the next year, the Town of Oyster Bay will construct 9/11 Walls of Honor to the east of the current 9/11 monument, honoring those who continue to give their lives to the toxic legacy left behind by the September 11th, 2001 attacks on America. Each year, the Town will inscribe into these new
Walls of Honor the names of family members, friends and neighbors lost to this toxic legacy. Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino stated, “We remember and give thanks to those who ran into danger in order to help the victims of a cowardly act of terror. This includes first responders, downtown workers, residents, students and so many others with cancer certified to be 9/11-related. The events of 9/11 continue to take our heroes and survivors – and members of our community will continue to face
darker days ahead. We watch each week as more of these heroes pass, in an ever-increasing and unending number. Just as many of these rescue and recovery heroes raced to the Towers the first minute the plane hit, and stayed until the last brick was turned, their memorial will stand with and lead us to those we lost that tragic Tuesday morning.” Applications may be downloaded at www.oysterbaytown.com/ wallsofhonor.
The Town of Oyster Bay will host a Cyber Security Information and Opportunity Forum on October 22nd at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center, located at 510 Grumman Road West in Bethpage. The event will focus on cyber security awareness and serve as an opportunity to network with industry professionals for those looking for careers in the field, and is being held in partnership with the Workforce Development Board, LISTnet, and Hunter Business School. “October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, and I am proud that the Town is taking a leadership role in raising awareness for cyber security issues, as well as serving to help connect job seekers with employers in this field,” Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. “Taking control of your digital security is extremely important in this day and age, and this forum will help provide information, through keynote speakers and presentations, to help minimize cyber risks, as well as introduce job seekers to the growing amount of work opportunities related to cyber security.” The Cyber Security Information and Opportunity Forum will take place on Monday, October 22nd from 8:00AM to 12:00PM. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from leading voices in the field of cyber security. Presentations will seek to answer questions regarding what has made cyber security so important, what a person or business can do to protect themselves, what type of jobs are available in the field of cyber security, and how learning cyber security can help in your current job. Following these presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to meet with the speakers as well as network with industry professionals regarding careers available in the field.
