Amityville School Board votes to fill Heller’s seat before July 1

Decision made in split vote by the board and raises some controversy

By Carolyn James

The Amityville School Board voted to move forward on appointing a replacement to fill the seat left vacant by Trustee Dave Heller, who stepped down last month. The vote was taken at a school board meeting on May 30 with newly sworn in trustee Wendy Canestro voting in opposition.

Under the law, the school board has four options to fill a trustee seat: call a special election, leave the seat open until the next election, make an appointment or let the director of BOCES make the appointment.

Board members unanimously agreed that they did not want to hold a special election, citing the costs involved, and they didn’t want BOCES to appoint a trustee. The division came when the board’s

majority, consisting of President Lisa Johnson and trustees Jeannette Santos, Carol Seehof and Leslie Kretz (Trustee Juan Leon was absent), voted to move forward and make the appointment before July 1, which is when newly elected trustees Caroline Fanning and Megan Messman will be sworn in. The two women roundly defeated longtime trustees Santos and Leon.

“Why the rush now to fill this seat when you left the seat of Dr. Terry Fulton open for months?” asked Canestro, who won Fulton’s seat, on May 21 and was sworn in immediately since the seat was vacant. “This community made it clear that it wanted change and the new board members they put into office should be part of the decision on who the next trustee will be.”

IN THE NEWS

Copiague Middle School eighth grade student Elijah Blanco was recently recognized for his creative writing. Blanco, a student in Mr. Jovic's writing class, submitted his work to a creative writing contest. He was selected as a finalist and was also chosen as the most creative piece of writing.

With the help of Mr. Jovic, Blanco further submitted his work to be featured in the Young Writers Association’s yearly publication. He is pictured with Copiague Middle School English Chairperson Christopher Gaudioso (left) and English teacher Lucijan Jovic.

The question of filling the seat was not on the agenda, but the board opened discussion and voted on it at the end of the meeting, which it is legally permitted to do. However, one resident repeatedly asked to speak before the vote was taken and was turned down by Johnson, who noted that the portion of the meeting reserved for speaking on non-agenda items had closed.

“What is the rush to appoint someone when it wasn’t even on the agenda,” asked the resident, Crystal Rodriguez. “People should have the opportunity to speak when the issue is not on the agenda. I should have been able to speak about it.”

“This is a clear bid to maintain power and erode the voting public’s decision for a new board and fresh ideas,” said

Canestro, noting that the meeting was sparsely attended.

Johnson said the board moved on the issue after several residents raised the question at the May 30 meeting of whether the seat would be filled at the meeting. Johnson added that the board would be asking community residents for suggestion on candidates and would then consider and interview them.

Anyone interested in being considered for the seat must be a esident of the Amityville School District and should send a letter of interest and resume to the District Clerk, Melissa Durnin at mdurnin@ amityvilleufsd.org. The deadline is June 12. The letter of interest must be no longer than two pages.

During the executive session of a special meeting to be held on a date yet to be determined in June, all letters will be reviewed by the board and it will select candidates for interviewing. A public announcement will be made of those candidates selected for an interview and the board will hold a special meeting at a later date announce the candidate selected to fill the seat. That meeting will take place no later than June 21.

In other business, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gina Talbot put a statement on the district’s website explaining that another item on the agenda had caused some confusion in the community. The item noted that an attendance teacher, three elementary school teachers, five physical education teachers and four teaching assistants were being let go effective June 30. Many residents thought these were additional cuts in staff positions, but Talbot said they are part of the announced $2.8 million cuts to personnel, programs, and services.

“The purpose (of the agenda item) is to take formal action on these eliminations,” Talbot said, noting that the cuts were necessary because the district didn’t want to exceed the 2024-2025 budget tax cap. “We want to assure our community that no new cuts have been made beyond what was already included in the budget voters approved on May 21,” Talbot added. “The changes being discussed are part of the plan to ensure fiscal responsibility while striving to maintain the quality of education for our students.”

The next regular board of education meeting is Wed., June 12, 7:30 p.m.

Dominican Sister finds expression for her faith through art

By Christie Leigh Babirad

When Sister Mary Anna Euring paints, she does so through love and a desire to bring joy to others, which she believes is the main purpose in life no matter what path you choose.

Most recently, Sister Mary Anna raised money through the sale of over 100 of her original Asian Brush paintings. All proceeds went to help immigrants on Long Island through Visitation Ministry, run by Sister Flor de Maria Buruca. The event was held in the historic Rosary Hall at Queen of the Rosary Motherhouse in Amityville, where Sister Mary Anna has been a member of the Order for 65 years.

Sister Mary Anna first took up the art of Asian Brush painting as she was healing and in remission from cancer, though she has been interested in Asian culture for as long as she can remember, she said. She also discovered later that her pull toward Asian culture and art was in part due to the 1 percent Asian that she discovered in her background.

Sister Mary Anna Euring at work in her studio. will suddenly transform into a waterfall,” she said. “It’s like an enchantment when you feel the spirit of God moving through you, and when it happens you know that the work being created is beyond you.”

“Growing up I always wanted to try Asian Brush painting,” she said. “It now makes me feel one with my ancestors.”

She first considered pursuing this mode of art through an advertisement she saw for a class offered by the Islip Art Museum. When she picked up the brush the first time, she said, it was as if she had always held one in her hand.

“The brush often takes on a life of its own and what may start out as painting the Great South Bay

Amityville Village sets hearing on new parking requirements and artificial turb lawns

By Carolyn James

The Village of Amityville will hold a public hearing on Tues., June 10 to consider a law to establish an administrative processing fee for certain licenses and permits issued by the Village and to amend the off-street parking requirements in the transit oriented and planned residential zoning districts.

Under the proposed measure, which is an increase in the parking requirements, studio apartments will be required to have 1.25 spaces per unit; one-bedrooms, 1.75 spaces and more than onebedroom apartments, one space per bedroom.

In addition, the board is considering drafting legislation to limit and/or prohibit the placement of turf grass on residential properties. Several homeowners have put turf on their front lawns and the issue has raised some concern among residents and officials.

When the issue came to the attention of the board, Mayor Dennis Siry said he reached out to the New York Conference of Mayors (NYCOM) for information on if and how other villages have handled the issue.

“They did have information about similar legislation enacted in other communities, which we reviewed,” said Siry.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m., Village Hall, 21 Ireland Pl., second floor courtroom.

For more information, call the Village at 631264-6000.

Sister Mary Anna gravitates toward painting nature.

“I see God’s presence through my art in painting nature, the water, sky, tree, birds and flowers,” she said.

She explained that in Asian art, people are painted very small because it is believed that humans a part of the cosmos, not tits center.

As far as her process, she begins by meditating first in front of her singing bowl to center, feel her breath and become aware of God’s presence. She will then listen to her favorite Asian musicians for inspiration while she paints.

Sister Mary Anna’s ministry has taken her on many different paths from teaching elementary school and directing pastoral care to working with the terminally ill, including AIDS patients during the 1980s and 90s health crisis in New York City. But now she refers to this new chapter as “reengaging,” as an artist and musician, because she has also played the flute since she was 9 years old.

“Art and my ministry teaching has brought me great joy, and if God gives me the strength, I plan to have another art show next year to help those in need,” said Sister Mary Anna, adding that she believes art and reaching out to those in need is an avenue to connection, and when you connect on a deep, spiritual level with others, those bonds are never broken.

The Amityville Fire Department, assisted by five neighboring departments, responded to a report of a fire around West Oak and John Streets shortly after 3 p.m., May 26. Chief of Department Stephen Juliano was notified by a captain and ex-captain who were at the scene and quickly transmitted a working structure fire at 3 John Street.

Amityville engine 1-1-3 was the first due engine responding a couple minutes later and stretched hand lines into the building. A large amount of commercial equipment and contents within the building made conditions difficult for companies to locate the fire, said Juliano, but with the assistance of truck companies 1-1-5, 1-3-4, and 636 the fire was located. Firefighters were able to contain

the fire to one room and extinguish it. The fire was under control in about a half hour.

Assisting at the scene were members of the Copiague North Amityville, Massapequa, Farmingdale, and South Farmingdale with East Farmingdale and Lindenhurst departments responding as standby companies.

Juliano noted that the department has a strict mutual aid plan for working fire response due to the manpower issues all departments are facing. “Our philosophy is that it is better to be prepared, to pre plan and be ready than to have a deficit at the scene of a fire,” he said. “It’s better to have many hands at the ready.” -C.

Honoring the fallen: Remembering the sacrifices of D-Day, 80 years later

This week marks the 80th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy on Tuesday, 6 June 1944. Known as Operation Neptune, but more commonly referred to today as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history and laid the foundation for the Allied victory on the Western Front.

The invasion exacted a tremendous toll in terms of human life and suffering. German casualties on D-Day are estimated to have been between 4,000 and 9,000 men. Allied casualties were documented at a minimum of 10,000, with 4,414 confirmed dead.

According to various sources, the invasion began shortly after midnight on June 6th with extensive aerial and naval bombardment, as well as an airborne assault involving the landing of 24,000 American, British, and Canadian airborne troops. The early morning aerial assault was soon followed by Allied amphibious landings on the coast of France at approximately 6:30 a.m. The target 50-mile stretch of the Normandy coast was divided into five sectors: Utah,

Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Strong winds blew the landing craft east of their intended positions, particularly at Utah and Omaha.

The men landed under heavy fire, and the shore was mined and covered with obstacles such as wooden stakes, metal tripods, and barbed wire, making the work of the beach-clearing teams difficult and dangerous. Casualties were heaviest at Omaha, with its high cliffs. At Gold, Juno, and Sword, several fortified towns were cleared in house-to-house fighting, and two major gun emplacements at Gold were disabled using specialized tanks.

By the end of August 1944, all of northern France was liberated, and the invading forces reorganized for the drive into Germany, where they would eventually meet with Soviet forces advancing from the east to bring an end to the Nazi Reich.

Though eight decades have passed since that event, every American would do well to take some time this week to remember the lives lost that day.

PUBLIC COMMENTARY - By Glenn Molette

Hope for living can be found in the wisdom of Jeremiah

There is much you and I can’t do anything about. If you live, you can’t stop aging. The only way to stop aging is to die. We can’t make ourselves younger. The eighteenyear-old may wish to be a few years older for various reasons. Once you turn nineteen you can’t go back to eighteen. You can look young for a long time but looking young and being young are two different things. There are many illnesses you can’t do much about. You can see the finest doctors in the country and obtain the latest medications and procedures, but they aren’t always a silver bullet for health. Cancers have a way of invading and growing despite the

best treatments. Multiple sclerosis has a way of being relentless in attacking the body. Dementia has a way of robbing a person slowly of his or her health. Hope keeps us going. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “I know the plans I have for you declares The Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” The passage was written to thousands of Jewish people exiled to Babylon under the siege of Nebuchadnezzar in 587 B.C... The writer of the words was giving the people a word of encouragement, help and hope to not give up but to keep living life and to go forward with their lives despite their circumstances.

Things would eventually change, and they would return to their homeland, but it would be seventy years before it would occur. It's not easy to go forward despite circumstances but when we lose hope, we give up while the smallest ray of hope keeps us going.

Many years ago, the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah had a word for God’s people. The message was a coming prosperity, hope, and a future.

May this be true for us all.

Furry Paratroopers: The Brave Pets Who Took the Plunge and Changed WWII

by Joanne Anderson

Look at the date above. As a paw-note to the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and the battle for Norman-dy, British airborne forces used parachuting dogs, nicknamed “paradogs,” during the invasion. These canines were trained to sniff out landmines, booby traps and explosives, and to search for friend and foe. The dogs wore their own parachutes and were trained to jump out of planes.

Certain eyewitnesses felt that the paradogs were not distressed by the experience since after sev-eral practice jumps, they would often exit the aircraft without coaxing. However, this thought re-mains highly debated. The dogs were trained to jump by not feeding them prior to an operation. Their handler would then lure them with a bone or piece of meat as they jumped through the door of the aircraft. The dogs would receive a treat once reaching the ground.

the landing, rolled over once, scrambled to her feet, and stood looking round.”

Meanwhile, because of all the anti-aircraft being fired at his plane on D-Day, Bing had to be ‘helped’ out of the plane with a piece of meat before landing in a tree and waiting several hours to be res-cued. Later, Bing was wounded by mortar fire and treated at the Vet Kennels near Stockport in Eng-land. Bing served in France as a sniffer and sentry dog until September 1945. On March 24, 1945, Bing dropped out of a plane behind enemy lines over the Rhine with another paradog, Monty, and his new handler Corporal Jack Walton. Bing took part in Operation Varsity and the advance into Ger-many. After the war ended, Bing spent time on duty in occupied Germany. He made a total of seven parachute jumps.

After the war, Bing was eventually returned to the Fetch family. In March 1947, Bing received the Dickin Medal (the military animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross) for his service and bravery in World War II. This bronze medal was for his “conspicuous gallantry.”

*Glenn: Despite usually performing willingly in practice, the noise of invasion frightened the dogs. In the 9th Parachute Battalion, dogs were taught to jump before their handlers. Glenn, an Alsatian (German Shepherd) attached to the battalion, was known to enjoy parachuting. Yet on D-Day, Glenn refused to jump due to the heavy anti-aircraft fire over Normandy and had to be pushed from the aircraft by his handler Private Emile Corteil. In an interview with the Imperial War Museum, paratrooper James Baty recalled: “Glenn was trained to jump out…to stand still as soon as he hit the ground. Of course, he loved jumping, but when it came over to…Normandy, all the flack coming up…he must have had a premonition because he wouldn’t jump.”

Both landed safely but were tragically killed by friendly fire from an RAF Typhoon fighter bomber on D-Day. Glenn was buried with his handler Emile Corteil in the Commonwealth War Graves Ceme-tery in Ranville, Normandy.

*Bing: An Alsatian and Collie mix, Bing (originally named “Brian”) was given to the British Army in 1944 when his owners, the Fetch family in Leicestershire, were no longer able to feed him due to rationing. He was one of four dogs trained at the Army War Dog Training School in Hertfordshire. During his training, he learned to identify minefields. The dogs were to be the soldier’s “eyes and ears” on the battlefield, as well as mascots and they provided emotional support for the men.

Bing first saw action with his trainer and handler Lance Corporal Ken Bailey with the 13th Para-chute Battalion over Normandy on D-Day June 6, 1944. Bailey was chosen as the dog trainer because of his veterinary background.

Ranee, another Alsatian, was the only female of the four canine recruits. Ranee did well in the practice jumps. Bailey said: “I called out and she immediately turned in my direction and wagged her tail vigorously before jumping. The dog touched down 80 feet before I landed. She was com-pletely relaxed, making no attempt to anticipate or resist

Bing died of natural causes in 1955 when he was 13. A model of Bing is on display in Britain’s Impe-rial War Museum. A children’s book “The Amazing Adventures of Bing the Parachuting Dog” by Gil Boyd was published in 2012.

*More about the Dickin Medal: ln the early 1900s, the medal’s namesake, Maria Dickin, a social reformer in London, noticed too many of the city’s animals were living in appalling conditions. One night, while nursing her own sick puppy, she had an epiphany: It was her destiny to provide animals with free health care.

Dickin’s plan to provide care for the “sick and injured animals of the poor” was initially scoffed at by veterinarians. But in 1917, with a small group of supporters, she opened her first clinic in a cellar and began to train her own veterinarians. By the 1940s, her institution, People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA), had become one of Britain’s largest animal care facilities.

Around this time, Dickin also devised a plan to recognize the efforts of animals (pigeons, horses, and dogs) being used in war— partly out of love for the creatures, but also as a publicity stunt to raise awareness of the PDSA. In the medal’s first six years (1943- 1949), 32 of 54 medals were awarded to pigeons. This is not surprising since during both World Wars, nearly 800,000 pigeons were used to transmit messages—sometimes flying up to 600 miles to complete the task.

In 1943, the foundation instituted the Dickin Medal, an award to acknowledge animals’ “conspicu-ous gallantry or devotion to duty while serving in war.” Since then, the bronze medallion, has only been given to the most deserving animal ‘soldiers.’ Awarding the Dickin Medal ended after World War II but resumed after Sept. 11, 2001.

*For Adoption at Babylon Animal Shelter (631643-9270) 80 New Highway, N. Amityville: Chicago #4-226 is an adorable female tabby kitten, three months old, while Gunner #24-192 is a handsome, one-year-old fellow with somewhat of a Lab/Weimaraner look.

Pets, Pets, Pets...

During both World Wars, the British preferred to refer to German Shepherds as “Alsatians” because of their enemy.
