Put a Little Topiary in Your Life, Hot Topics and Free Fitness Seminar

Good morning, Sayville-Bayport-Blue Point. As the work week comes to a close Patch offers up insight on news, events and things to know about in your community.

First up is a local library program that can get those brown thumbs turning green:

Topiary Workshop
Bayport-Blue Point Library
7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Phyllis Chan Carr will guide you in making a basic, yet elegant topiary using ivy, a clay pot and a wire frame. Please bring the following to class: lightweight wire cutters, garden shears and a pair of gardening gloves. Fee: $10 payable by check only.

Have you been following the buzz at Patch and on our Facebook page about our fox sightings map. It'll be posting today with an interview with a red fox expert and some insight on how to help live amicably with this species of wildlife. 

Did you catch the report yesterday about how Fire Island lost more than half it's dunes thanks to super storm Sandy. Check out the article on the first official coastal assessment regarding Fire Island post-Sandy.

For those who want to kick-off a fitness regime a great first step may be a free walk-run fitness seminar happening this weekend and sponsored by Walk To Run Fitness. Just check this link for how to register: www.walktorunfitness.com.

Coming up on Patch before the week ends:  How local schools are getting ready to welcome back students and staff.
