Education is seen as a key to deal with deer and tick problems on the Island and, under the leadership of Julia Weisenberg, it’s been a major focus this year.
Ms. Weisenberg started offering Zoom sessions on cooking venison that proved popular. She’s now engaged staffers from Shelter Island School and Mashomack Preserve volunteers and staff in a new program teaching students and parents how to protect themselves from tick bites that can result in Lyme and other diseases.

On a mild afternoon early last week, I spotted the first reliable sign of winter. I saw it on the windshield of our neighbor’s car, and it wasn’t precipitation.
“Wipers up!” I cried.
The next day, business was brisk at the Shelter Island Hardware Store. I was there for battery-operated Santa lights (they are adorable) but Dave Gurney was tending to a steady stream of customers, several of them in need of a tarp or devices for securing the tarp to their woodpile, kayak, etc. against the storm.
A man approached the cashier ready to purchase a blue snow shovel as tall as he was, with an ergonomic handle that evoked the undulations of an octopus. He also bought a bag of caramel candy, which he explained would give him the stamina to do what might have to be done if we really did get a foot of snow.
