Spring is the season most often associated with lawn care, and for good reason. Grass starts growing in spring, making it a good time to fertilize many types of grass so lawns can look their best and withstand the hotter, drier weather of summer. While spring is when many homeowners begin tending to their lawns, it’s important to recognize the significance of fall lawn care as well. Homeowners should identify their type of grass so they can provide the care it needs before winter’s first frost. Coolseason grasses, such as perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass, are common in many regions, and the following strategies can help homeowners tend to their lawns this fall.
“What I discovered at Woodloch is what I want for my own family, and why we keep coming back, it’s that magic of together.” - Meagan’s My Woodloch Story Discover America’s #1 Family Resort for Yourself Family Resort • Destination Spa • PGA-Rated Golf Course
Stick to your recommended fertilization schedule: Homeowners who have been fertilizing since spring should continue doing so in fall at the recommended intervals. It’s easy to forget as temperatures cool and schedules become busier, but many fertilizer manufacturers recommend applying their products several times throughout the year, including in fall. Follow the intervals listed on the fertilizer packaging. Conduct a soil test: A soil test can determine if the soil is lacking nutrients needed for healthy grass growth. Amendments can help restore pH balance, if necessary, and promote stronger growth in spring.

Aerate, if necessary: Soil can become compacted over time, making it harder for water and fertilizer nutrients to reach grass roots. Compaction can weaken grass and make it more vulnerable to drought and other adverse weather. Aeration can promote stronger root development and may be best left to professionals, particularly for larger lawns. Remove excessive thatch: Thin layers of thatch can benefit lawns by providing nutrients from grass clippings and leaves. However, excessive thatch can block air, water and fertilizer from reaching the soil. Thatch often can be removed with a rake, while especially thick layers may require scarifying or professional dethatching. Continue to water the lawn: Coolseason grasses still require water into the fall. Though lawns generally need less frequent watering than they do in summer, professionals note that coolseason grasses still need roughly an inch of water each week. Remove leaves as they fall: Fallen leaves can block water and nutrients from reaching the soil, much like excessive thatch. Remove leaves regularly, particularly when they begin accumulating in large quantities. Fall is an opportune time to tend to a lawn and increase the chances that grass will grow back strong and healthy in spring.

Fall Home Improvement
The Benefits Of A Fall Roof Replacement A roof is a vital component of a home, protecting the structure from the elements and ensuring that sun, rain, wind, and snow do not compromise the integrity of interior spaces. Peak Performance Roofing says the average asphalt shingle roof found on many homes lasts between 15 and 30 years. Alternative roofing materials, such as metal or clay tiles, can last much longer. Homeowners who stay in a home for many years will likely need to replace the roof at some point. Choosing when to replace a roof may come down to selecting the right season. Experts typically consider fall a prime time to upgrade a roof for a variety of reasons. Moderate temperatures: Fall weather tends to be comfortable in many regions of the country. Magnolia Home Remodeling Group says fall temperatures are better suited for roofing and allow materials to perform at their best. When temperatures are too hot,
shingles can become soft and prone to scuffing, while cold temperatures can make materials brittle and difficult to seal. Comfort for workers: The same moderate conditions can make it easier for roofing contractors to get the work done. It can be extremely hot on a roof during summer, necessitating frequent breaks for workers. Winter weather conditions are not ideal for working on a roof, with snow and ice making surfaces slippery. Fall weather can help workers feel more comfortable. Avoid the rush: Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC says spring and early summer are peak seasons for roofing contractors due to post-winter repairs. Homeowners may experience shorter wait times, better pricing, and more flexible scheduling if they opt for a fall roof replacement. Prepare for winter: Replacing a roof in the fall means having a new, func-
tional barrier against winter storms, which can be particularly hard on aging roofs. It also means the roof will be ready for rainy spring weather. Fall is an ideal time to replace a roof
for many reasons. Homeowners can use the summer to research and vet roofing contractors and develop a plan that fits their schedules and budgets.
Free Rabies Vaccination Clinic September 19th
The ceremony will take place by the gazebo at Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park & Beach, located off Larrabee Avenue in Oyster Bay hamlet. Town personnel will be on hand to assist with parking. “We are so pleased to offer this wonderful event again in our beautiful hamlet and hope our residents come out and join us in affirming their commitment to one another,” added Town Clerk LaMarca. “This beautiful event has become
a heartwarming tradition in our Town, and we look forward to welcoming both new couples and those who have joined us in the past for this touching ceremony.” In the event of rain, the ceremony will be moved to Oyster Bay Town Hall. This event is offered free of charge to Town residents but reservations are required. Residents interested in renewing their wedding vows should RSVP by Friday, September 18th by contacting (516) 624-6380.
‘Oyster Bay: As It Was A Century Ago’ Brings History Alive In Oyster Bay Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and his colleagues on the Town Board invite you to experience ‘Oyster Bay: As It Was A Century Ago,’ a historical presentation and visual tour of Historic Oyster Bay on Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 1:00 p.m., at the Community Center located on Church Street in Oyster Bay. Hosted by Town Historian John Hammond, this slide show presentation will take viewers on a trip back in time through vintage photographs from his personal collection, many of which have never been viewed publicly, and include a discussion on the rich history of one of the oldest communities on Long Island. A Q&A is expected to follow the presentation.
Supervisor Saladino stated, “Take a visual stroll through Historic Oyster Bay, as we revisit some notable Roosevelt homes, the house of the infamous Typhoid Mary, the old mill, the firehouses, and the renowned Vanderbilt Cup races. See the Oyster Bay School as it was and the Oyster Bay Free Library as it began, and some historic old businesses that used to thrive in town. This visual
slide show promises to be a wonderful immersion into a snapshot in time – a select year in Oyster Bay’s past – full to the top with history, nostalgia, and so many great stories.” Registration is available online at www. oysterbaytown.com/ portal, admission is free. For more information, please visit www. oysterbaytown.com or call (516) 624-6380.
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilwoman Laura Maier announced that the Town Animal Shelter is hosting ‘free adoption month’ where all general adoption fees will be waived throughout the month of September. “I invite and encourage residents looking for their new best friend to look no further than the Town Animal Shetler, where all adoptions are free all through September,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Our shelter staff has a wonderful reputation for providing great care to the pets housed there and has a long history of uniting those looking for a fur-ever companion.” During the month of September, the shelter will waive the general adoption fees of $80 per dog and $84 per cat. All usual adoption services will be provided, including the spaying or neutering of the animal, vaccination and microchipping. Residents interested in viewing the animals available for adoption can call the shelter to make an appointment, visit the Town’s Facebook page, or Town website at www.oysterbaytown.com. “Most shelter pets wind up there through no fault of their own, often for a
reason their owners are faced with, and are already housetrained and familiar living in family settings,” said Councilwoman Maier. “As someone who welcomed a shelter pet into my home several years ago, I can speak firsthand about how much they appreciate a second chance and the unconditional love they provide.” In addition to free adoption month, the Town will be hosting a Free Rabies Vaccination Clinic at the Animal Shelter on Saturday, September 19th from 10 am
to 2 pm. No reservations are necessary. Microchip services will also be available for a $25 fee. The Town of Oyster Bay Animal Shelter is located at 150 Miller Place in Syosset. The shelter is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Residents interested in visiting the shelter can call to make an appointment. To view photos of some of the animals available for adoption, visit the Town of Oyster Bay Facebook page, Town website oysterbaytown.com, or call (516) 677-5784 for more information.

The doors to Massapequa’s nine schools opened up on Sept. 2, with nearly 6,000 students walking through. It was the first day of school for grades 1-12 following two months of summer vacation.
Just 24 hours later, the district’s youngest learners arrived, continuing a Massapequa School District tradition of having the first full day of kindergarten on the second day of school year. With 579 kindergartners
arriving at six elementary schools, it was all hands on deck. Administrators, teachers and support staff came together to make sure kindergartners found their way from the walker and busser entrances to their new classrooms.
Buildings were decorated with balloons, welcome back signs and fresh bulletin boards. The floors were shiny, desks were neatly arranged and bells toned right on time. Massapequa High School students got a glimpse of
the revamped gymnasium lobby that captures Chief pride through decaled walls, while a few dozen Birch Lane students settled into newly renovated classrooms. “A successful opening truly takes a team effort,
and Massapequa is the team of teams,” Superintendent Dr. William Brennan said. “As I visited our schools throughout the first two days, what stood out most were the smiles, positive energy and genuine passion throughout.”

Fall Home Improvement
Things To Know When Replacing Windows Windows are durable, but they do not last forever. According to This Old House, home windows can last 15 to 50 years, with many reaching the end of their useful life around 20 years. As windows age, seals can weaken or fail, making them more susceptible to drafts, moisture, and water seepage. Replacing windows can be a worthwhile investment. New windows can improve a home’s curb appeal and value while increasing energy efficiency and security. When considering replacement, homeowners should keep several factors in mind. • Know the window types. Doublehung windows feature operable upper and lower sashes, allowing warm air to escape through the top while cooler air enters below. Single-hung windows have only an operable lower sash. Sliding windows have panels that move horizontally, while picture windows are fixed and provide wide views and natural light.
• Determine whether to repair or replace. Some older windows may only need repairs, which can save homeowners thousands of dollars. A professional can determine whether components can be repaired. However, rotten framing, moisture problems, and significant drafts often indicate replacement is the better option. • Understand replacement and construction windows. Replacement, or pocket, windows are installed within an existing frame. Construction windows require removal of the entire old window, including the frame, sill, and trim, making them more expensive to install. • Consider frame materials. Vinyl windows are affordable and low-maintenance. Aluminum and aluminum-clad windows are economical, corrosion-resistant, and require little upkeep. Wood provides a traditional appearance, while fiberglass is durable and

Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh recently honored the participants of ‘We Care Blankets,’ a Massapequa based nonprofit organization, for their incredible dedication in knitting and crocheting over 100 blanks to be donated to children’s hospitals across the country.
“These soft and beautiful blankets were clearly made with love, and will help soothe and protect children with cancer and other pediatric ailments,” said Councilwoman Walsh. “These blankets will make a comforting gift for children who need it the most.” ‘We Care Blankets’ is a group of civic-minded and
caring women who meet weekly and enjoy friendship and camaraderie while knitting and crocheting. They host their gatherings at the North Massapequa Community Center. For more information on the ‘We Care Blankets’ organization, please call (516) 797-2250.

Town Joins Vinny’s Army To Proclaim September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Supervisor Saladino joins with members of Vinny’s Army, including Valerie, Tommy and Vinny Cusumano, in officially proclaiming the month of September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the Town of Oyster Bay. Shown with Vinny’s Army representatives are Supervisor Saladino, Councilman Lou Imbroto, Councilwoman Vicki Walsh, Receiver Jeff Pravato, Councilwoman Laura Maier, Town Clerk Rich LaMarca, Councilman Steve Labriola and Councilman Tom Hand.
Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and members of the Town Board joined with the Vinny’s Army organization to officially proclaim the month of September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in the Town of Oyster Bay. Vinny’s Army is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children diagnosed with cancer, as well as their families. The creation of Vinny’s Army was inspired by the courageous battle faced by the Cusumano family of Massapequa, when their son Vinny was shockingly diagnosed with cancer in October of 2022. Just 10 years old at the time, Vinny was living the life of a regular kid finishing up elementary school, playing sports and spending time with his friends and family. That’s when Vinny’s Army was
born, and ever since the organization has worked to ensure that no family faces the battle of fighting cancer alone. “Today we encourage all residents to join Vinny’s Army to help create smiles and spread love, hope, strength and resilience,” said Supervisor Saladino. “During the month of September, we will illuminate Town Hall in gold and display gold ribbons on the columns of our front entrance as a symbol of our unity in the fight against pediatric cancer.” For more information on the Vinny’s Army organization and how you can help with their mission – including information on their upcoming blood drive at the Brian Moore Athletic Center – visit their website at VinnysArmy. com.

Fall Home Improvement
Winterize Your Home Before Cold Weather Arrives It’s not uncommon to spend more time outside the house when the weather is warm. Outdoor living spaces make it easier to enjoy nature at home from late spring through midfall. But as fall gives way to winter and temperatures drop, it’s time to head back indoors. Before the cold weather arrives, homeowners can take several simple steps to winterize their homes. These preparations can make interior spaces more comfortable, improve energy efficiency, and help protect the home from the challenges of winter weather. Check your carbon monoxide detectors: Fall is a good time to check all carbon monoxide (CO) detectors throughout the home. The Minnesota Department of Health notes that CO is an odorless, colorless gas that cannot be detected by the senses. It can come from sources such as water heaters, gas stoves, fireplaces and clothes dryers. When
windows remain closed for long periods during winter, CO can build up indoors and become dangerous. Make sure every detector is working properly and replace any that are not. Check for drafts: Inspect windows and doors throughout the home for gaps that may allow cold air to enter. Drafts can be easier to detect in the evening, when outdoor temperatures are cooler. Apply weatherstripping around doors and windows where needed. If aging windows or doors are allowing significant drafts, consider replacing them to improve comfort and energy efficiency. Call a chimney sweeping service: Before using a fireplace for the first time this season, have the chimney inspected and cleaned by a qualified professional. Animals may have built nests inside the chimney, while creosote, a highly flammable substance created when wood burns, can accumulate over time. Removing
these hazards can reduce the risk of chimney fires and help ensure dangerous gases, including CO, can safely exit the home. Reverse your ceiling fans: Ceiling fans can be useful during the colder months as well. Set fans to rotate clockwise so they push warm air that naturally rises toward the ceiling back down into the living space. This simple adjustment can help rooms feel warmer without requiring homeowners to turn up the thermostat and increase energy costs. Replace your HVAC air filter: Replace the air filter in your HVAC system before winter arrives. A clean filter can help the system operate more efficiently, potentially reducing energy use and heating costs. It can also improve indoor air quality during winter, when windows are generally closed for extended periods. Winterizing a home does not have to
be a major undertaking. Taking care of these simple maintenance and safety tasks before winter arrives can help homeowners stay comfortable, improve efficiency, and prepare their homes for the colder months ahead.

Fun Ways To Close Out Summer After a few months of fun in the sun, it can be difficult to admit that summer will soon be over. Lazy, hazy days likely filled the calendar, with time spent poolside or at a beach. Just because summer is winding down doesn’t mean that all the relaxing fun must cease. Families can extend the fun a little longer with these ideas that can help everyone ride the last of the summertime wave. The fair is in town The end of summer tends to be fair season. Fairs and carnivals offer an assortment of entertainment all under one roof (or tent). In fact, many people live a short drive away from a fairgrounds, and residents can check the schedule posted on a municipal website. Fairs also are commonly advertised
in newspapers and on signage. Fairs have rides, carnival games, livestock shows and contests, food on a stick, and musical performances. They can be ideal ways for families to find something
fun everyone can enjoy.
want to maximize the end of summer with a vacation. July tends to be a peak month for summer vacations. While August also is popular, prices and crowds tend to drop by late August, meaning families may be able to score good deals the longer they wait. Local summer In many beach towns, the crowds thin considerably after the Labor Day holiday. And beach entry fees may be waived after Labor Day. Families needn’t say goodbye to seaside adventures just because the calendar flips from August to September. There are plenty of warm days still in store. In fact, waiting until the crowds dissipate can make local beach towns and amenities more enjoyable.

backyard or a nearby campsite can be an ideal way to close out summer. Everyone can listen to those late-summer crickets singing their tunes while fireflies light up the sky. While sitting around a campfire or firepit, everyone can take turns sharing what they loved
most about the summer and what they’re looking forward to doing in the weeks to come. Summer may be singing a swan song, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had in the waning weeks of this popular and fun season.
