• Mosquito spraying planned for parts of Staten Island to combat West Nile virus (silive.com) — Overnight mosquito spraying is scheduled for parts of Staten Island this Thursday night into early Friday to curb West Nile virus, with a backup date next Monday if weather interferes. Residents are urged to stay indoors if sensitive, adjust air conditioners if desired, use EPA-registered repellents, and eliminate standing water around their homes to reduce mosquito breeding.
• Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Across All Five Boroughs (thecitylife.org) — Staten Island residents can join Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations close to home, from George Lopez's October 9 show at St. George Theatre to the Corporate Commons Three building lighting on September 15. The citywide roundup also highlights dozens of concerts, museum programs, food specials, tours, and family activities across all five boroughs running through October and beyond.
• The Overnight Worker Who Keeps the 9/11 Memorial Pools Clean (vinnews.com) — A Staten Island resident who has quietly cleaned the 9/11 Memorial's reflecting pools overnight for more than a decade shares how the demanding, solitary work connects to his own memories of the attacks. His routine, emotional ties to the site, and nightly journey home to Staten Island highlight the often-unseen role local workers play in maintaining this national place of remembrance.
