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.
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.
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).
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. For more info on the program or to contact South Shore Audubon Society, go to www. SSAudubon.org.
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.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Lou
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.”

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.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board are excited to announce a special Halloween-themed movie night, Saturday, October 5th, at Syosset-Woodbury Community Park, which will feature PG-13 rated film Five Nights at Freddy’s. The event features fun pre-movie activities, including a scary haunted walk, family-friendly games, inflatables, photo opportunities and more. Residents and families are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets for their viewing comfort.
“What better way for families to kick off the fall season than enjoying a fun Halloween-themed movie night at their local Town park,” said Supervisor Saladino. “We hope all residents and their families join us at these not so spooky and fun movie nights.”
Five Nights at Freddy’s begins at sundown with pre-movie activities beginning at 4:30 p.m. Movie selections are subject to change and will be held weather permitting. Parents are cautioned of the PG-13 rating, which may not be suitable for young children. Call (516) 797-7925 for more information.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino invite residents to stand in solidarity with Israel while remembering the 1,200 people murdered by Hamas, including over 40 Americans, and hundreds kidnapped on October 7, 2023. Together with religious leaders, we will pray for the safe return of over 100 hostages still held in captivity (including 7 Americans), reaffirm our support for the State of Israel, and denounce the heinous acts of terror committed against men, women, and children.
County Executive
Blakeman stated, “We’re proud to stand united in solidarity with Israel and will host this remembrance ceremony in memory of the October 7th terror victims while remembering the lives lost and those still held captive. This ceremony offers residents a collective space for mourning, ensuring that the memory of those lost is preserved and the impact of their loss is acknowledged by the wider community.”
“This remembrance ceremony fosters unity and resilience, allowing people to come together in solidarity against acts of terror, while
promoting healing and a shared commitment to peace and security in the face of tragedy. In these troubled times, it is critical to remember that what divides us, pales in comparison to that what unites us,” added Supervisor Saladino. This October 7th Remembrance Ceremony will take place on Monday, October 7, 2024 at 6pm at Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, New York. State, Town and County officials will be joined by local religious leaders, families, community leaders and thousands of residents.

a ticket lottery to ensure all residents have an equal opportunity to attend one of our performances. And, as always, this outstanding holiday entertainment is provided free of charge for our residents.”

Assemblyman Michael Durso (R-Massapequa Park), in coordination with the Massapequa American Legion Post 1066, recently held his 3rd Annual Veterans’ Appreciation Pancake Breakfast and Resource Fair honoring our nation’s heroes for
their service and sacrifice.
This free event brought together veterans from across the 9th Assembly District along with numerous government agencies and local organizations that offer support services to the veteran community.
Participating vendors included the NYS Department of Veterans’ Affairs, NYS Department of Public Service, Town of Oyster Bay Tax Office, Beyond The Badge NY, EOC Suffolk, Catholic Health Services, Friends For Life Home
Care, Paws of War, Long Island Cares, Nassau County Veterans Service Agency, Long Island State Veterans Home, Suffolk County Veterans Service Agency, Canine Companions, Island Harvest and so many more.
“I was honored to welcome veterans and local veterans’ organizations to our 3rd annual appreciation breakfast and resource fair,” said New
York State Assemblyman Michael Durso. “We can never thank our veterans enough for all that they have sacrificed for our freedoms and their continued contributions to our communities. It was truly an honor to serve them breakfast while providing them with valuable information.
I want to thank the Massapequa American Legion Post 1066 for
hosting the event and the vendors for helping make it a huge success. A special thank you to Broadway Gourmet Bagel Café and TLC Companion Home Care for donating bagels and pastries.” If you were unable to attend this year’s event and would like information on available veteran resources, please call Assemblyman Durso’s district office at 516-541-4598.
