Town seeds waters with baby clam seedlings
Crime “very low” in Jericho says NCPD precinct speaker BY GEORGE HABER
Receiver Jeff Pravato, Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilman Lou Imbroto and Councilwoman Michele Johnson prepare to seed 2 million baby clam seedlings in the Great South Bay to help replenish the waterway and improve water quality. Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Councilwoman Michele Johnson, Councilman Lou Imbroto and Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato took to the waters off TOBAY Marina on the Town’s south shore to help replenish the shellfish supply by adding 2 million baby clam seedlings to the Great South Bay.
“We are pleased to officially bring our highly successful seeding program to south shore waters, as we disperse these seeds that were grown right in our own Shellfish Hatchery. Programs like this not only enhance water quality, they help bolster the local economy and improve the resiliency of our coastal communities,” said
Supervisor Saladino. The Supervisor explained that the seedlings are just 2 millimeters in size when they first start out in the Town’s Shellfish Hatchery. From there, they move from those specialized tanks into a FLUPSY – a Floating Upweller System –which protects the young See page 10

“Jericho is a very safe neighborhood. Crime for the most part is very low in Jericho,” Officer Chris Lovelace of the Second Precinct told an audience of more than 80 residents of East Birchwood at a community meeting at the Jackson Elementary School October 11th. Organized by the Birchwood Civic Association, the meeting featured a briefing by four members of the Second Precinct’s “POP” team who discussed what the precinct was doing to prevent crime in the neighborhood and what homeowners could do to protect their homes and cars. The POP team is a “problem oriented policing" unit that focuses on crime prevention and joint police and community ori-
ented solutions. “You are our greatest asset,” Lovelace told the residents. He urged people to report any suspicious activity in and around their home to a 911 operator. He defined suspicious activity as any individual loitering around a home or sitting for a prolonged time in a car in front of a home, for example. The officers reminded residents to illuminate their premises and to show signs of someone being home by keeping lights on, a TV running, or a dog barking when the residence is approached. Burglars, they said, typically do not want to encounter a resident, and will avoid homes that are inhabited. Some members of the comSee page 10
