Sea of Grass: Long Island’s Salt Marshes, Program October 8
On Tuesday, October 8, at 7:30 PM Author Betsy McCully will present Sea of Grass: Long Island’s Salt Marshes, a slide-illustrated talk on our once vast salt marshes. The presentation will be at the Freeport Memorial Library, 144 W. Merrick Road (at S. Ocean Avenue).
Her latest book, At the Glacier’s Edge: A Natural History of Long Island from the Narrows to Montauk Point, explores our natural world through her eyes as a longtime resident. She tells the story of how Long island was formed at the end of the last ice age, how the Island’s diverse habitats
evolved, and the efforts of environmental activists to restore what humans have degraded.
McCully is a retired professor at Kingsborough College of CUNY. Her first book, City at Water’s Edge: A natural History of New York, recounts a timeline that extends backward half a billion years, discussing the depths of Manhattan’s geological history.
This South Shore Audubon Society Meeting is open to the public.

Town Seeks Volunteers To Assist In Shell Recycling At Oyster Festival
Oyster Bay Town
Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Michele Johnson invite residents looking to help the environment and preserve our waterways to take part in the Town’s shell recycling initiative at the upcoming Oyster Festival, taking place Saturday and Sunday, October 19th and 20th in Oyster Bay.
“We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to be a vital part of our environmental mission to help protect our harbor and improve our waterways,” explained Supervisor Saladino. “As a Shell Collection Station Attendant, volunteers will contribute their time to help divert oyster and clam shells from landfills, which will instead be recycled and used for habitat restoration and growing new oysters.”
Volunteers at this year’s festival will be asked to
commit to working in three-hour shifts. Available time slots will be from 10am through 7pm on both Saturday, October 19th and Sunday, October 20th. Responsibilities will include identifying oyster and clam shells, overseeing a shell collection station with separate bins for general trash and for shells, guiding festival goers in correctly sorting their waste, and answering questions about the shell recycling program and educating attendees about its environmental benefits. Those interested in participating will be asked to participate in a zoom session to become familiar with the program and will receive giveaways including a t-shirt, as well as community service hours for their participation.
Town officials, including Receiver Jeff Pravato, Town Clerk Rich LaMarca, Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Vicki Walsh, Councilwoman Laura Maier and Councilwoman Michele Johnson, show a sampling of the more than three tons of oyster shells collected at last year’s Oyster Festival, which are recycled back into the waterways to improve water quality and help with growth of new shellfish.
“This wonderful initiative helps us restore the populations in our harbor while improving water quality,” said Councilwoman Johnson. “After the festival, the shells are transported by Town aqua-culturists to a curing facility, where they remain for several months prior to being strategically returned to the harbor to
assist in the growth of new shellfish. This great program not only helps ensure the shells don’t go to waste, they provide an excellent source of habitat for young shellfish to grow and mature, offering
protection from weather conditions and predators.”
Anyone interested in volunteering for the shellfish recycling program can contact the Department of Environmental Resources at (516) 677-5943 or by emailing Environmental @oysterbay-ny.gov. For more information about the program, visit www. oysterbaytown.com/ shellrecycling.
Town Unveils Historical Marker With Sons Of American Revolution
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Town Clerk Richard LaMarca and Town Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato joined with local history officials and Long Island Sons of the American Revolution members to
unveil a historical marker at the Baptist Church Cemetery in Oyster Bay, as well as commemorating the gravesites of five soldiers who fought in the American Revolution.
Supervisor Saladino
said, “Much of Oyster Bay’s historical notoriety comes from Robert Townsend, Culper Jr. of Washington’s Culper Spy Ring. In a television series on the topic, the actor portraying George Washington states
that our country owes its life to heroes whose names it will never know. Today, we ensure that our heroes are properly recognized and help forever memorialize them in a plaque dedicated by the Sons of the American Revolution.”
The Sons of the American Revolution have been honoring those who served in the American Revolution since 1889, by serving their local communities and educating future generations about the founding principles of our country. In advance of the 250th birthday of the United States, the Long Island Chapter visited Baptist Church Cemetery to recognize the five patriots buried there.

Energetic Author Promotes Positivity
The new year started with positive vibes at Birch Lane Elementary School, and a visit from a noted author will help keep that momentum going. Jon Gordon, who wrote “The Energy Bus for Kids,” motivated students at a pair of assemblies on Sept. 6 along with Janice Rathjen, a certified Energy Bus speaker and trainer.
Mr. Gordon and Ms. Rathjen shared the five rules of the energy bus –create a positive vision, fuel your ride with positive energy, no bullies allowed, love your passengers and enjoy the ride. After a thorough conversation about each rule, students
chanted “yes, yes, yes!”
The author shared his own journey to becoming more positive, which led to him writing “The Energy Bus” for adults and then a children’s version.
For Mr. Gordon, a Long Island native, it was his first time visiting the Massapequa School District to talk about his book. Birch Lane’s program was presented in partnership with the PTA’s Arts in Education committee.
His visit supports this year’s theme at Birch Lane, “Positive energy.” Each year, Principal Stephen Aspetti and Assistant Principal Joyce Larkin
introduce a new character education focus that builds upon lessons from previous years. Mr. Gordon’s presentation supports this year’s goal of encouraging students to infuse their lives with vision, hope, love and positivity.
All teachers read “The Energy Bus for Kids” within the first week of the school year and engaged their students in discussion about its messages. They were also encouraged to highlight this year’s theme to parents at back-to-school night to continue positive conversations at home.

Town Adds 6 Million Baby Clam & Oyster Seeds To Oyster Bay Harbor
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Lou Imbroto, Town Clerk
Richard LaMarca and Town Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato took to the waters on the Town’s north shore
to deposit the remaining half million of the roughly 6 million clam and oyster seedlings that the Town
planted into Oyster Bay throughout 2024. The Town grows out the seedlings at its Shellfish Hatchery until they mature enough to be transferred into FLUPSY locations and grow-out areas where they
can fully mature.
“Oyster Bay Harbor is one of the crown jewels of Oyster Bay, and we are proud to be doing more than ever before to improve its water quality,” said Supervisor Saladino.
“Programs like these help bolster the local economy while improving water quality. These efforts help preserve the natural beauty of our local waterways for generations to come.”

Natural Ways To Fight Fall Allergies
As the days become shorter and the weather cools down, a new crop of allergy symptoms can arise, turning the autumn season into one marked by sneezing, scratchy throats and itchy eyes. Medications can alleviate such symptoms, but allergy sufferers may want to investigate some natural ways to beat allergies. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, ragweed is one of the more common triggers of autumnal allergies. Ragweed contributes to “hay fever,” which is a term to describe allergic rhinitis that occurs as a symptom of ragweed pollen in the air. Ragweed releases pollen in midAugust, and it can continue to be problematic until a deep freeze arrives. Other sources of fall allergies include leaf mold and pollen that is present on fallen leaves. This gets circulated when people begin to rake or blow fallen leaves. Classroom pets and chalk dust in schools (although chalkboards are largely a thing of the past) are other autumn allergens.
The good news is that many natural remedies work just as effectively as over-the-counter medications in regard to combatting ragweed and pollen problems. Here’s how to beat the fall allergy blues.
• Stay Away From Pollen. Stay away from pollen and prevent it from being tracked indoors. Remove shoes when walking through the door. Take off clothes worn outside
and launder them promptly, showering to wash pollen off of the body. Use an air conditioner or keep windows closed when the pollen count is high.
• Increase Omega-3 Fatty Acids. It is well documented that fatty acids are good for brain health and cardiovascular well-being, but these acids also may help with allergies. A German study linked foods high in omega-3 fatty acids with the ability to fight inflammation, which is a hallmark of allergy suffering. Foods that are high in fatty acids include walnuts, flax, eggs, and coldwater fatty fish.
• Rinse Off Pollen. Use a mild cleanser to rinse the eyelids and eyelashes of pollen, as this is where it tends to congregate after being outdoors. Use saline spray to clear nasal passages of excess
• Take Natural Supplements. A study published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy found participants who used tablets of the herb butterbar showed significant allergy relief after only one week. Select herbs from reputable manufacturers who certify them.
• Use Eucalyptus Oil. This oil is great to have in the house to help clear up sinuses and provide nasal congestion relief. Mix a small amount with coconut oil and rub onto the chest. There also is some evidence that adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil to cleansing products can help kill dust mites around the house.
• Wear A Mask. When doing housework or yard work, wear a mask to reduce the inhalation of specific allergens.
