Canestro election to Amityville School board voided in legal snafu; board reinstates her as appointee and also swears in Christopher Nehring to vacant seat

By Carolyn James Wendy Canestro, who was elected by a wide margin May 19 to fill an open seat on the Amityville School Board and was sworn in that day, had to be sworn in again last week after it was discovered she never signed the register as required by law.

School officials said she had been advised to do so—a claim that Canestro denies—and because she didn’t, her election was nullified by state law.

When the district became fully aware of the is-

sue, officials determined that they should appoint Canestro to the seat, left vacant by the resignation of Dr. Terry Fulton last year, in keeping with the voice of the public who voted her into office The result, however, is that Canestro, who won a seat that expired June 30, 2025, is now an appointed trustee instead of an elected official and her term runs until the next school board election on May 20, 2025, five weeks short of her original term of office.

She expressed her thanks to her mother Eugenie and her husband Emsley. The couple have four children, Malcolm, Micheal, Marcus and Misheley.

By Christie Leigh Babirad Babylon Town officials have announced a reduction in dog license fees from July 1 to September 30 to encourage licensing and help ensure your pet’s safety.

Town Clerk Gerry Compitello emphasized the importance of licensing.

“We, as dog owners, are their advocates, and if your pup should decide to go on a solo adventure away from your house or backyard, and it ends up in a town shelter, the license is proof of ownership,” she said.

Currently, only about 25 percent of dog owners in the Town of Babylon have licensed their pets, a requirement under town law. Compitello said there were 480 new dog licenses and 416 renewed licenses in 2023. In 2024, year-to-date, there are 282 new licenses and 261 renewed dog licenses.

State Senator Monica Martinez shared her experience of losing her dog for several days, to highlight the im-

portance of licensing your dog.

“This gives pet owners some peace of mind because it is more likely that they will be able to have their pet returned if it gets lost. This will allow animal control and shelters to get in contact with you more quickly if your dog does get out,” she said.

The complicated relationship between Thomas Jefferson and his dogs Besides a fireworks reminder to keep your pets safely inside, Fourth of July also brings an annual appreciation for the Founding Fathers, articularly Pets, Pets, Pets... pThomas Jefferson

by Joanne Anderson who happened to have a fascination with the natural world.

Jefferson owned several unusual pets including his constant companion mockingbird and several grizzly bear cubs, gifts from Lewis and Clark.

Our third President also had a love/hate relationship with his dogs, specifically his sheepdogs. They were part of his desire to “colonize” the county with certain Old-World species. His species wish list included the nightingale and Angora hare. The chien de berger or “shepherd’s dog” intrigued him because the Comte de Buffon (1707-1788) a prominent naturalist and Darwin predecessor, considered this breed closest to wolves, the origin of all dogs. Buffon felt shepherd’s dogs were the only dogs born fully trained.

However, Jefferson disagreed with another of Buffon’s controversial theories—that the climate in the New World degenerated dogs, making them smaller and eventually unable to bark. Jefferson and our great thinkers Franklin and Hamilton took umbrage when others applied Buffon’s natural history notion to politics and their newly formed

government. popping up in several states.

During a trip to In 1811, Peter Minor, a fellow France in 1789, Virginia landowner requested Jefferson paid the Jefferson’s help for a scheme equivalent of six to reduce the dog population. dollars for a pregnant Minor hoped for legislative shepherd’s dog.

(Continued from Cover) The license fees have been lowered to $1/year and $3/ three years for spayed/neutered dogs, and to $6/year and $18/three years for non-spayed/neutered dogs.

“This is a fantastic initiative emphasizing the importance of licensing your dog,” added Councilman Anthony Manetta.

Because dogs are likely to be out and about much more when the weather is warm, Babylon Animal Hospital's Dr. Jason Kirshbaum offered some summer safety tips.

First, he stressed the importance of keeping dogs cool.

“If the asphalt is too hot for you, it is too hot for them,” he said, cautioning that leaving pets unattended outside can trigger heatstroke, which can develop in just 2-3 minutes.

As families head out to barbecues and other summer food fairs, often with their pets, Kirshbaum also advised against letting dogs eat corn cobs and fatty foods. And he recommended using white noise or a fan to calm those dogs scared by fireworks.

Because dogs and cats can also get sunburned and skin cancer, Kirshbaum suggested limited sun exposure and the use of vet-approved suntan lotions.

Legal snafu in Canestro election; Nehring named to vacant seat

(Continued from Cover) was to address the issue,” said Johnson. “What was most important was that she was elected to the seat and to get her back into that seat as soon as possible. I did not focus on how it happened, why it happened or who was at fault; to me she was elected by the public and I consider her still an elected official.”

At the meeting, the board also appointed a new trustee to fill the seat left vacant after David Heller stepped down in May. By a vote of 5-1, they approved the appointment of Christopher Nehring, former business manager for Dick’s Sporting Goods and now a logistics supervisor at Quest Diagnostics.

Opposing the appointment was Canestro, who supported another candidate, Wayne Thompson, a business owner with a background in finance.

The board’s decision drew fire from some residents who objected to the appointment being made two days before newly elected trustees Megan Messman and Caroline Fanning, who won seats in May, are sworn in. They replace longtime trustees Jeannette Santos and Juan Leon, who voted for Nehring.

“This is equivalent of asking a person who has been fired from their job to recommend who is going to replace them,” said Debbie McQuillan, a resident who was one of several residents who submitted a letter and resume to the board asking to be considered for the position. “I find this process ludicrous.”

In accepting the position, Nehring, a third generation Amityville High School graduate, said that throughout his career he has hired and trained employees and assisted the human resources department with investigating and handling issues “while maintaining strong interpersonal communication with my employees, other departments, upper management, customers and vendors.”

“I hope to improve the communication between the school district and residents …. to foster a more collaborative effort to improve the schools for the students and grow trust with the community,” he added. “I will approach issues with an open mind while striving for fiscally responsible ways to meet the district’s needs and help the students thrive.”

Miss Sprague was a member of the Village of Amityville Senior Center for many years.

Director Myra Lee said she and Miss Sprague would have coffee together every day.

“I became so close to her, she was a very special person,” said Lee. Lee recalled how Miss Sprague became particularly fond of a dog, Jasmine, whose owner would visit the center with her. “She would always comment how much she loved the dog and would give the pup biscuits every time she saw her,” said Lee, adding that she is going to miss the companionship and friendship she shared with Miss Sprague. “She was someone who if she saw anything wrong, like a traffic light out, she would report it to the police and make sure it was resolved,” said Lee. “She was such a kind and loving person.”

Anne Crocitto of Amityville knew Miss Sprague for about 35 years and remembers her visits to the thrift store Crocitto volunteered in over those years.

“She was very happy and would always say hello to anyone she knew, and always had a smile,” said Crocitto who added that she considered Miss Sprague a friend and can still hear her voice, calling out her name.

Rosemarie Sprague reposed at Powell Funeral Home, 67 Broadway in Amityville. She was privately cremated.

She is predeceased by her mother and father, Florence and Leon Sprague.

Rosemarie Sprague In addition to the many friends she had in Amityville, Miss Sprague is survived by her brothers Michael, Paul, Thomas, Joseph and Kenneth, and her sisters Michelle and Regina.

The Village of Amityville Senior Center invites all who knew Rosemarie Sprague to join them in an informal memorial at their annual barbecue. The event will take place on Wed., July 24 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Amityville Beach Pavilion, Peter J. Pappas Pappas Pavilion, South Bayview Avenue in Amityville.

TOBAY Councilman Hand administers Oath of Office to Civic Assoc. members

July 3, 2024 — AMITYVILLE RECORD

12

Oyster Bay Town Councilman Tom Hand recently administered the oath of office to officers of the Nassau Shores Civic Association. Officers include President John Guerriero, Vice President Michael Dell’Anno, Recording Secretary Dan Riveira and Corresponding Secretary Roxana Riveira. Treasurer Nadia Cooblall was unable to attend.

“Civic Associations are an important component of our community as they bring people together to talk about important issues in our neighborhoods,” said Councilman Hand. “As your representative in Town government, I can certainly assure our civic associations

that Town officials appreciate working with you to make our community an even greater place to live, work and raise a family. These Nassau Shores Civic Association officers should be proud in knowing that on a daily basis, throughout their terms, they make a positive difference in the lives of others.”

The civic association’s mission is to keep the residents of Nassau Shores informed on issues that affect the community as a whole. It hosts events and provide a voice for the residents of the community. For more information on the association go to nassaushorescivic.org or email them at info@nassaushorescivic.org.

Beach Parking Stickers Available Oyster Bay Town announced that seasonal beach parking sticker sales and the free distribution of stickers to senior citizens and the disabled is underdway. The Oyster Bay Town Board has restricted beach access to residents only and enhanced safety measures by installing signage and pedestrian barriers. A major sand replenishment project will be complete by Memorial Day weekend.

Beach parking stickers are on at John J. Burns Town Park in Massapequa, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay and at TOBAY Beach.

To purchase a beach parking sticker for your vehicle, residents must present a valid NYS driver’s license with residency in the Town of Oyster Bay, their vehicle registration, and bring the vehicle they plan to drive to the beach.

Parking stickers are placed on the vehicle at the time of purchase. Only residents may purchase beach parking stickers for Town of Oyster Bay beaches. Beach parking stickers are $60, which pay for themselves following three visits.

FREE PASSES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS: Town of Oyster Bay residents over the age of 60 can obtain a free parking sticker by presenting their driver’s license with town residency and

their vehicle registration. After receiving the sticker, senior residents must be present in the vehicle for entry on each visit. If visiting the beach in another vehicle, seniors can show their driver’s license and get a free day pass.

FREE PASSES FOR DISABLED/ SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS: Residents who are disabled or receive social security can acquire a free beach parking pass by showing their Town of Oyster Bay Disability ID card (which can be obtained at the Town Clerk’s Office for a one-time fee of $32) or Notice of Award Letter, alongside their driver’s license showing residency in the town and their vehicle registration. A parking sticker will then be adhered to the vehicle.

DISCOUNTS FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS, VETERANS & CLEAN PASS VEHICLE OWNERS: Town of Oyster Bay volunteer firefighters, members of the Armed Forces, veterans and Clean Pas eligible vehicle owners qualify for beach parking passes at reduced rates.

Only cashless payments are accepted, including credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. For more information, please call the Town of Oyster Bay Parks Department, Beaches Division, at (516) 797-4111.
