Y. - An elementary school principle was charged Thursday with possessing methamphetamine and Ecstasy tablets. Frank Cannata, 40, of Buffalo was immediately suspended from his job at the Grand Island Central Schools' Charlotte Sidway Elementary School, where he had been principal since 1998. Investigators, carrying out a federal search warrant, seized five grams of crystal methamphetamine and 14 Ecstasy pills at Cannata's Buffalo home, according to a criminal complaint. Cannata's arrest shocked his colleagues in the suburban district north of Buffalo, where Cannata himself had been a student, said assistant superintendent Karen Karmazin. He is also musical director of the Niagara Regional Theatre Guild. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
