September 11th Memorial Events Along the South Shore and Fire Island

Keith Snedecor was scheduled to give a lecture about the history of the South Side Sportsmen’s Club in late June. The Historical Society of Islip Hamlet was excited to host it, and I had planned to assign a correspondent to cover the talk. The subject was interesting, and the promotional materials displayed a picture of his warm, friendly face. The heart attack that took him on May 11, at the age of 62, shook the South Shore Long Island historical community.

Former corporate party planner and now an ardent conservationist, Ellen Federico has written, Butterfly Island and the Invincible Crew, a children’s book on the plight of Fire Island’s endangered monarch butterflies.

The Kismet Kids Snapper Derby was a big success on August 22, despite the wet weather brought by Hurricane Erin. The rain date was used, pushing everything back by only 24 hours. Fifty-eight children participated. While only two fish were caught on derby day, raffle sponsors, West Marine, the Boatel, Bar Aquatic, Nalu, and beach balls donated by the Agency made all the kids feel like winners. Congratulations to Adam for catching the first-place fish, and Nicholas for second place. The Kismet Inn provided the celebration lunch of hot dogs and fries, and the Kismet Market contributed ice pops.

The Ocean Beach Association (OBA) again sponsored this community cake decorating challenge, and this year’s theme was Dr. Seuss. Thirty teams were each given a basic sheet cake and tickets that could be exchanged for frosting and candy toppings. Additional tickets could be had through Seuss trivia knowledge.

Running from the western tip of Fire Island to the eastern tip and back again is 65 miles total. It's not for the casual jogger or the faint of heart. However, Adam Gibbs, Niki Gibbs, Dan Ziluca, and Tim O'Donoghue have been doing it for the past 10 summers.

Fire Island National Seashore is considered a go-to destination for so many Long Islanders, both seasonally and year-round, especially for its beaches, picnic spots, and parks. Though there are many different rules visitors keep in mind as prescribed by the Fire Island National Seashore (FINS), some exist quietly on the books. Still, the public is expected to adhere to them, regardless of whether they are visiting these National Park Service (NPS) territories at the height of summer or on a starkly beautiful winter’s day.
