NEWS

Deer & Tick Prevention
The Deer and Tick Committee has been working on educating residents about preventative methods for avoiding tick bites. We hope that you will share the following two-sided important document with your family and friends, created by the D & T  educational sub-committee. This document along with the Stony Brook University Southampton Hospital Tick Borne Disease Reference Handbook will be made available at various places on Shelter Island such as Town Hall, Farmer’s Market (summer), the former Shelter Island Pharmacy, the island's doctors' offices, and the North & South ferry ticket offices, to name a few. We will continue our educational outreach into Summer. Please click on the blue link above.

One Island - One Water
Please take a moment to read the Water Advisory Committee’s report on our island’s ground and surface water and the state of our aquifers.

SCHD Water Testing Application
Suffolk County Health Department offers private well water analysis for a $100 fee, which can be waived. SBA encourages residents to test their well water. Click link above for form.

SILVER BEACH RESIDENT HIGHLIGHT:
Margaret Koller

Many of you may wonder as you enter into Silver Beach: who does all those lovely decorations and plantings at the 4-way stop? Each holiday is clearly on display and flowers are lovingly tended to. We all have Margaret Koller to thank for making coming home so special and unique.
