Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Glen Cove volunteers collect 171 pounds of litter during annual beach cleanup (liherald.com) — Glen Cove volunteers recently hauled 171 pounds of trash off Pryibil Beach during the city's annual International Coastal Cleanup, highlighting concerns about cigarette litter in smoke‑free parks and beaches. The Beautification Commission is rolling out new cigarette recycling receptacles citywide, and divers plan to return Oct. 4 to clean under the pier, building on decades of shoreline improvement work.
2. Power outages, downed trees on the North Shore (liherald.com) — Glen Cove residents on Chadwick Street are facing a PSEG‑Long Island power outage expected to last until Sunday afternoon, as the nor'easter brings flooding, high winds, and citywide beach closures. City officials urge neighbors to sign up for emergency notifications at GlenCoveNY.gov, while county leaders warn of dangerous surf, potential road flooding, and scattered outages across Nassau and Suffolk.
3. Veterans group set to honor five from North Shore (liherald.com) — A North Shore veterans nonprofit that first helped rebuild Glen Cove's fire‑damaged VFW post is honoring several local residents, including Glen Cove's own Vincent Martinez Jr. with its 2027 Impact Award. The group also highlights volunteer efforts tied to Glen Cove Senior Center, City Hall's knitting club, and Loggia Glen Cove, with awards to be presented at a February gala in Bayville.
4. Holocaust Center leaders condemn posts on community page as antisemitic (newsday.com) — Leaders of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove are speaking out after antisemitic posts appeared in a private Facebook group for North Shore neighbors, including Glen Cove residents. They argue the comments go beyond criticism of Israel into hateful stereotypes about Jewish control, and say the incident shows how modern antisemitism can quietly spread in small local communities.
