Dear Long Islander,
Independence Day has come and gone, but thankfully, the same can't be said for summer - things are just starting to heat up on Long Island. As summer sizzles on, there's a ton of ways to beat the heat, or enjoy the sunshine - whichever you prefer. Whether you're into classic car shows, concerts, or museums, or you're just looking to get outside and enjoy the great weather, this weekend is packed with fun-filled things for families, couples, kids, and anyone just looking to have a good time. Weekends on Long Island are always packed with fun, especially for those who are up for adventure, and trying something new. Independence Day may be over, but that doesn't mean that we can't celebrate the rest of the summer - so get out there, and enjoy the season, Long Island!

Lonesome George's Lesson in Biodiversity
 What We Can Learn From This Historic Extinction Event
Last week the world reeled from the loss of the last living giant Galapagos Tortoise of Pinta Island, Chelonoidis nigra, aptly named Lonesome George. George became a symbol of preservation around the world and especially for the ecologically unique string of pacific islands since the 1970’s. His presence on Pinta Island surprised biologists, who had thought his sub-species had already entered extinction. But alas, George was the last.George lived out the remainder of his life at the Galapagos National Park in Ecuador. His caretaker, Fausto Llerena, found his lifeless body in his enclosure last week. The park’s director Edwin Nuala simply said, “His life cycle came to an end.” An autopsy revealed that George died of old age. He was about 100-years-old.
