A Warning About English Ivy

Ivy

We want to make you aware that English ivy has been found in the Village. Its vines can cause trees to die and damage residents’ properties. The invasive plant’s vines kill the trees by climbing up the tree trunks, making their way along the branches and twigs and preventing the trees from receiving sunlight. The dead trees, weighed down by the vines, can fall onto vehicles, homes or people.

To kill the vines, pull them up by hand when the soil is moist. You can also pull them out using a rake, or cut them from the bottom with pruning shears, a hand ax or other cutting tools. Work around the tree until all the vines are clipped. For the remaining vines that are on the ground, use a herbicide.

If you need assistance removing English ivy from your residence, call Village Hall at (631) 348-1133.

Mayor Dorman joined Village Board Members on May 23 to announce the demolition of a dilapidated five-family structure located at 59 South Bedford Avenue, as the Village launched its Neighborhood Redevelopment Program.

The Village is currently looking to address and redevelop up to five more properties throughout the Village.

As part of the program, the Village seeks to improve available housing and local quality of life throughout the Village. The Village will take action to enforce the Village Code, prevent or remove squatters and find solutions to improve these properties.

During the Village Board meeting on February 6, Allan M. Dorman, Mayor, Village of Islandia, honored two Central Islip firefighters for their heroism in responding to a call last summer.

On June 22, 2023, at approximately 3 p.m., the Central Islip Fire Department was dispatched to a residence at Sagebrush Lane. Vincent Plotino and James McMullen arrived at the scene, where an occupant was apparently choking. After first responders tried the Heimlich maneuver, Plotino placed the occupant on the floor while McMullen performed rescue breathing, to no avail. McMullen then retrieved a portable resuscitator from his vehicle and placed it over the occupant. Soon, the object became dislodged and they were able to breathe on their own.

Mayor Dorman praised Plotino and McMullen for their quick thinking and noted how their training and initiative helped save this person’s life.
