OSPREY'S NEST

Katya Wolosoff, age 10, who last week gave a gift of 11 inches of her hair to Locks of Love. John Sieni of JBS Salon at the Candlelite Inn did the deed on Friday. Katya has been growing her hair for two and a half years, her mother, Margaret Barrett, said. Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to disadvantaged kids under the age of 18 who have suffered from long-term hair loss as a result of a medical diagnosis. 


Ima likes the stylish cut and even more the spirit that prompted it.


Katya is the daughter of Margaret and Bruce Wolosoff.

The Island has a winner…


Emily Strauss, a fourth grader, won a MuVo T200 MP3 player in a Suffolk Wave drawing last month. Any library card holder in the county who downloads books (no charge) is eligible for the daily drawing, and when Emily downloaded Joseph Bruchac’s book, “The Story of Bird Woman and the Lewis & Clark Expedition,” she was the Island’s first winner.
