Dear Neighbors:
The 4th of July was a day to remember with nice weather followed by the Village's traditional fireworks and bonfires. I thank and commend everyone for your cooperation in making fires that complied with the Village code. Your understanding made for another safe and fun holiday. Great job!
If you have a fire hydrant on your property, please ensure that any vegetation surrounding it is cleared to ensure that the fire department can find and access it quickly.
The Village plans to restripe Asharoken Avenue from Village Hall to 285 Asharoken Avenue in the next few weeks. The work is expected to be done at night so there should be minimal impact on traffic. Once a final date is set, I will let you know.
The next few days are expected to be very hot and humid. Village Hall is available as a cooling station if needed. If you have elderly neighbors it is a great idea to check in with them and see if they are ok. Stay cool and hydrated! A swim in the sound or the bay isn't a bad idea either.
As of yesterday, I have seen chicks in three out of four Osprey nests. The chicks usually start flying around the third week in July. It is easy to identify the juveniles from the adults once they leave the nest. The adults have black wings while the juveniles have speckled wings.
Have a great day!
Mayor Dr. Gregory Letica

Dear Neighbors:
Well summer has arrived right on cue and the 4th of July is less than two weeks away. The annual Fireworks by Grucci display is scheduled to begin at 9:15 PM. The rain date is Friday July 5th. If you live on the Long Island Sound side of Asharoken Avenue please consider inviting your bayside neighbors over to watch the display.
The Village tradition of bonfires can only continue if everyone uses extreme caution and common sense.
Everyone is required to comply with the Village Code Chapter 70-4 on fire protection when they construct fires on the beach:
Out of an abundance of caution the Village will permit only beach fires (not bonfires) between 100-200 Asharoken Avenue.
Lastly, personal fireworks are not allowed.
I thank everyone in advance for their understanding and cooperation.
Wishing you a great weekend!
Mayor Greg Letica
