Oyster Bay Town Board enacts law codifying odd-year elections Issue likely to be subject of future litigation

By Mike Polansky The Oyster Bay Town Board has enacted an amendment to the town’s election law to codify the “custom and practice of the Town to hold elections for Town officers in odd-numbered years.” That “custom and practice” has been in effect since 1899.

The board’s action was in direct response to a new state law, signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul in December, that mandates that the election of town officials be held in even-numbered years in conjunction with the election of state and national officials.

The new Section 26-5 of Oyster Bay Election Code specifies that a biennial election for Town Supervisor, Town Council members, Town Clerk and Town Receiver of Taxes be held “on the Tuesday next succeeding the first Monday in November of every odd-numbered year.” The Town Board unanimously voted to adopt the new Section 26-5 at its May 21 meeting, following a hearing on the issue.

The state action, known as the Even Year Election Law, has triggered a plethora of litigation in opposition, including lawsuits brought by Onondaga County, Oneida County, Jefferson County, Nassau County, and one planned by Orange County. Suffolk County and the Town of Hempstead are among those who have joined as plaintiffs in the Jefferson County lawsuit.

Town officials declined to discuss the measure further saying it is their practice not to speak about nor comment on pending litigation. A spokesperson noted, however, that the town had not yet decided whether to pursue litigation on its own or to join with an already

existing lawsuit.

Other lawmakers did speak to the issue, however.

Assemblyman Michael Durso, a Republican, had strong words for the state’s actions: “The governor and state legislature moving local elections to even numbered years, alongside federal elections, is a gross overreach of power,” he said. “I voted against it because national issues will now overshadow local matters and that will have a negative impact on our quality of life.”

On the other hand, Charles Lavine, a Democrat who serves as chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the State Assembly, totally disagreed with the town’s new law and the legislators who support it. “The Town of Oyster Bay’s response is entirely symbolic,” he said.

“This is a matter of state, not local, law.”

In other business at its meeting, the Town Board: •authorized agreements with performers at the town’s 2024 Music Under the Stars concert series, including the Country Fest concert to be held at John J. Burns Town Park in Massapequa on August 10 •authorized enhancements to the Senior Summer Programs by presenting “National Hot Dog Day” on July 17 and “National Spumoni Day” on August 21, both at the North Massapequa Community Center.

The next Town Board meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 11, at 10 a.m. at Town Hall, 54 Audrey Avenue in Oyster Bay.

Keeping his pace steady, he watched a tall Italian-looking lady, driving a black Range Rover, stop three quarters around the vehicle pathway, step out, pick up four pebbles, and put them on the left side of the bench in front of the vehicle.”

United States Military Academy Cadet Navroop Singh of Massapequa was welcomed by Assemblyman Durso to the Capitol for the 72nd Annual West Point Day in Albany recently.

Durso was accompanied by his colleagues in the New York State Legislature to host this celebration of cadets and leadership of the U.S. Military Academy.

“I was proud to honor CDT Navroop Singh of Massapequa and present him with a citation in recognition of his commitment and dedication to the ideals of

duty, honor and country,” said Assemblyman Durso. I want to thank CDT Singh and his fellow cadets for putting service above all.”

CDT Singh was inspired to serve and attend West Point due to his family’s history of serving our nation. His great-grandfather and great-uncle both served in World War II. Upon graduating from West Point, CDT Singh plans to branch Infantry and to be assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vicenza, Italy. He eventually wants to pursue a path in Special Operations.

Dominican Sister finds an expression for her faith through art

POLICE BLOTTER

ing nature, the water, sky, tree, birds and flowers.”

She explained that in Asian art, people are painted very small because it is believed that we are a part of the cosmos, not the 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 many different paths from teaching elementary school, directing pastoral care and 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 “re-engaging,” as an artist and musician, as 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 we connect on a deep, spiritual level with others, those bonds are never broken.

For more information on Sister Mary Anna’s art, go to contemplativearts.vpweb.com or email her at maryanna.euring@gmail.com.

The store employee confronted the male subject who then displayed a knife. The subject fled scene in an unknown direction. No injuries were reported. The investigation is ongoing.

The subject is described as a male black, 5’5” tall, with a thin build wearing a black shirt and black pants.

Detectives request anyone with information regarding the above listed crime to contact Nassau County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.

•A representative of CVS pharmacy at 20 Broadway reported that an unidentified male entered the store at approximately 9 p.m., May 29 and left with three containers of ice cream without paying for the items.

Carly Madden, a senior at Massapequa High School and a prospective Eagle Scout was recently recognized

by Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and his colleagues for her Eagle Scout project. Carly, a member of Boy Scouts Troop 186, partnered with the town’s Department of Environmental Resources to construct protective nest cage structures for northern diamondback terrapin turtles at Centre Island Beach.

“With March being Women’s History Month, it is important to note that Carly is a trailblazer who will soon earn the prestigious rank of

Eagle Scout,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Efforts like Carly’s have helped save this species of terrapin turtles, which neared extinction in the early 1990’s.”

Carly also collaborated with Friends of the Bay and the Seatuck Environmental Association to complete her project, successfully fundraising for necessary supplies and creating educational signage for the entrance to the turtle conservation area at Centre Island.

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 our main purpose in life no matter what we choose to pursue.

Most recently, Sister Mary Anna raised money with 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. 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 Sister Mary Anna Euring at work in her studio. she had always held one in her hand in part due to the one percent Asian “That the brush often takes on a life of its own that she discovered in her background. and what may start out as her painting the Great “Growing up I always wanted to try Asian Brush South Bay will suddenly transform into a waterpainting,” she said. “It now makes me feel one fall,” she. said. “It’s like an enchantment when you with my ancestors.” feel the spirit of God moving through you, and She first considered pursuing this mode of art when it happens you know that the work being through an advertisement she saw for a class ofcreated is beyond you.”. \ fered by the Islip Art Museum, and said that when Sister Mary Anna gravitates toward painting nashe picked up the brush the first time it was as if ture.

EDITORIAL

DRAWING CONCLUSIONS: By Kevin Eastwood

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.

In 1943, the foundation instituted the Dickin Medal, an award James Baty recalled: “Glenn was trained to jump out…to stand still as soon as he hit the ground. Of course, he loved jumping, to acknowledge animals’ “conspicu-ous gallantry or devotion to but when it came over to…Normandy, all the flack coming up… duty while serving in war.” Since then, the bronze medallion, has only been given to the most deserving animal ‘soldiers.’ Awarding he must have had a premonition be-cause he wouldn’t jump.”

Both landed safely but were tragically killed by friendly fire the Dickin Medal ended after World War II but resumed after from an RAF Typhoon fighter bomber on D-Day. Glenn was Sept. 11, 2001. *For Adoption at Babylon Animal Shelter (631-643-9270) 80 buried with his handler Emile Corteil in the Commonwealth New Highway, N. Amityville: Chicago #4-226 is an adorable feWar Graves Ceme-tery in Ranville, Normandy. *Bing: An Alsatian and Collie mix, Bing (originally named male tabby kitten, three months old, while Gunner #24-192 is a “Brian”) was given to the British Army in 1944 when his own- handsome, one-year-old fellow with somewhat of a Lab/Weimaers, the Fetch family in Leicestershire, were no longer able to raner look. 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 be-cause of his veterinary background.

Gunner Ranee, another Alsatian, was the only female of the four ca#24-192 - male with nine recruits. Ranee did well in the practice jumps. Bailey said: Lab/Weimaraner “I called out and she immediately turned in my direction and look, 1 year old 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 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 bravChicago ery in World War II. This bronze medal was for his “conspicuous gallantry.” #4-226- female tabBing died of natural causes in 1955 when he was 13.

Massapequa Takes Action (MTAC) with Save the Great South Bay cleans Massapequa Preserve

11

MASSAPEQUA POST — June 5, 2024

Massapequa Takes Action (MTAC), in conjunction with the Save the Great South Bay’s Creek Defender program held a clean-up event throughout the Massapequa Preserve.

Headed by Donald Nedbalsky Massapequa’s new Creek Defender, volunteers worked to collect and dispose of 52 bags of debris from the area.

Each community has a Creek Defender who works with Save the Great South Bay organization to cleaning, caring for and protecting the 50 creeks. That bring freshwater into the Bay. “Sadly, these streams also bring the garbage that people throw into them into the Bay,” said Nedbalsky.

“That is why we clean them.”

For information on the Creek Defender program and how you can help, go to savethegreatsouthbay.org or email them at: info@savethegreatsouthbay.org.
