Brilliant, an 85-year-old schooner visits Port Jefferson Harbor May 22.

Sailing ship used during WWII docks in Port Jefferson BY ALEX PETROSKI ALEX@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM

Boating enthusiasts in Port Jefferson were treated to a piece of history May 22. Brilliant, an 85-year-old, 61-foot schooner docked in Port Jefferson Harbor Monday afternoon, just weeks after the anniversary of its launch in 1932. “It is known as one of the finest and best-maintained wooden vessels in America,” John Lane, former commodore of the Port Jefferson Yacht Club and a 47-year resident of Poquott said in a phone interview. He added that the vessel is “spotless,” and lauded its

ahead-of-its time design. For 65 years, the ship has sailed under the flag of Mystic Seaport, a Connecticut-based boating museum, and has been used as a training vessel for children and adults interested in honing sailing skills and experiencing full immersion into shipboard life. “After a busy spring and a lot of work by a vast army of crew, volunteers, painters, yard workers, specialists and vendors, Brilliant is in top shape,” Brilliant’s Captain Nicholas Alley said in a message posted on the museum’s website ahead of the 2017 boating season. He has been at the helm of the ship for six years. “Now

we get to enjoy that labor and take this floating jewelry box out sailing.” Brilliant was initially built for businessman Walter Barnum, who used it as a racing boat in the 1930s. During World War II, it was used as a patrol vessel for the United States Coast Guard. In 1953 it was donated to Mystic Seaport. The ship sailed to Oyster Bay last week for three weekends of racing against other classic yachts, and it made a stop in Port Jefferson along the way. The ship is considered one of the 100 most beautiful classic boats in America by WoodenBoat magazine. It is estimated to have transported more than 10,000 people in its history.

Suffolk County residents will play an important role in improving the health of their fellow Americans in 2017. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention selected Suffolk as one of 15 counties nationwide to participate in its annual National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a data collection study that is used to draw conclusions about the health and diets of people in the United States. The CDC is the nation’s health protection agency, conducting research in the hopes of preventing the spread of diseases and tracking their prevalence. The NHANES is a 55-year-old program that tracks health and diet trends in the U.S. by selecting counties based on demographics with the goal of accumulating a set of data representative of the entire population of the country. This is the second time Suffolk was observed as part of the survey since the turn of the century, according to study manager Jacque DeMatteis. The CDC arrived April 29 at Stony Brook University’s Research and Development Park in three mobile trailers outfitted with dozens of pieces of medical equipment, researchers and physicians to begin assessments on the approximately 600 Suffolk residents selected. “It’s important because right now we’ve got all of these miracles happening with cancer research and things like that, without information that people help us to provide — a lot of it comes from here — [researchers] don’t have anything to draw on,” DeMatteis said of the purpose of the yearly survey during a tour of the CDC mobile facility May 19. Charles Rothwell, director of the National Center for Health Statistics, reiterated the importance of accumulating the data in a statement. “The survey is a unique resource for health information, and without it we would lack important knowledge about major health conditions,” he said. “The comprehensive data collected by NHANES has a far-reaching and significant impact on everything from the quality of the air we breathe, to the vaccinations you get from your doctor, to the emergence of low-fat and ‘light’ foods on the shelves of your grocery store.” The process for selecting participants within a county begins with about 1,500 addresses, and interviewers scour the area in the hopes of securing about 600 willing participants who also provide a representative sample of age ranges, genders, races and ethnicities and degrees of health. The selected participants who are willing to be examined then visit the mobile facility to be subjected to a variety of tests of blood pressure, diet, dental/oral health, vision and hearing, bone density, liver function and much more using high-tech scans not often available through traditional physicians. DeMatteis made the case for selected participants making the trip to be studied despite some minor possible inconveniences. “For the people who participate, they get their results back,” she said. “If anything abnormal comes up they’re contacted immediately. Our national health officer will contact them and we’ve had a couple of situations where it was kind of life-threatening situations and they were totally unaware of it.” Participating adults also receive $125, reimbursement for travel expenses and the opportunity to receive credit for five hours of community service. Newborns and up are required for data collection, though specific scans and tests are not done uniformly across age groups. “A lot of people do it for the exams, and in the past even more people had no means to get access to health care, so they came here because they’re going to get a whole lot of data about their health that they otherwise can’t afford to get,” DeMatteis said. No medical procedures are offered at the site, though on occasion physicians are forced to recommend immediate treatment if anything concerning appears as a result of a test. Patients are also allowed to pick and choose which tests they’d like to participate in of the ones they qualify for. The CDC urges anyone selected to participate in the survey.

suffolk County sheriff Vincent DeMarco cuts the ribbon at the program kickoff ceremony.

Yaphank jail unveils new addict treatment wing Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco joined with members of the county’s drug treatment community, program volunteers and county officials to officially kick off the Sheriff’s Addiction Treatment Program wing housed in a newly renovated section of the Suffolk County Correctional Facility in Yaphank. The new wing recently replaced the jail’s former DWI initiative, and according to DeMarco, offers a timely and effective treatment course for inmates whose crimi-

nal behavior correlates with an addiction to drugs or alcohol. “The drug epidemic is affecting every community on Long Island and across the nation,” he said. “It impacts individuals, small business, our schools and quality of life. Almost every robbery in recent years can be linked to an opioid addiction, and the Suffolk County Correctional Facility should do all it can to help address this public crisis.” DeMarco has spearheaded other initiatives throughout his tenure. Last year, he launched a Veterans Re-entry POD, and in 2011 he created the Youth Tier Initiative for incarcerated youth.

history Veteran and POW from Wading River remembered ahead of Memorial Day By Rich AcRitelli “In the room, I am putting up some Christmas ornaments and decorations. We have no trees, but do the best we can with cardboard. Still going to Mass, hoping the war is over soon. Your son, Mike.” These were the words of World War II prisoner of war Michael O’Shea to his family during Christmas 1944. The veteran and longtime Wading River resident died in 2009. O’Shea was born in Manhattan in 1924 and his family moved to the Bronx during the Great Depression when he was a child. He attended Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan and was an avid New York Yankees fan. As the United States reeled from the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, right away O’Shea expressed his desire to leave high school to enlist in the Army Air Force. During his earliest days in the service, O’Shea had to wait several weeks for uniforms, he trained with broom handles as weapons, and at his first duty station in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the government commandeered motels and made them into barracks. He was trained by instructors who had little to no experience in warfare. O’Shea was determined to gain his wings, earn more money through hazard pay, and was intrigued by the promotional films of noted actor Jimmy Stewart, who was later a brigadier general. With the stories of the German blitzkrieg that had conquered almost every part of Europe, North Africa and into the Soviet Union, O’Shea and his fellow airmen were driven to overcome the air superiority of the Luftwaffe. The Bronx native was later sent to Syracuse and onto Texas where he gained his primary instruction as a navigator. Before leaving the States, his crew was sent to Nebraska, where they picked up their B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. They flew across the country to Manchester, New Hampshire, and across the Atlantic Ocean to England. It was not until July 7, 1944, that his crew was ordered to conduct their first daytime bombing run over Germany, near Berlin. While American bombers took heavy losses during the day, it was believed by U.S. High Command that these attacks hurt the German military and war machine. O’Shea vividly recalled the enemy Messerschmitt’s fighter planes and 88 millimeter guns that targeted American aircraft over the skies of Nazi Germany. For all flyers, the threat of being shot down was always a realistic concern. Up until the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, there were more airmen than infantry held as prisoners of war by the Germans. It was often the case that O’Shea flew deep into enemy territory to attack the industrial might of Germany and its VI and VII rocket plants in Peenemünde and the Ploesti oil fields in Romania. On Aug. 9, 1944, during his 14th mission, O’Shea’s plane was severely damaged by antiaircraft guns. While the pilot was able to guide his plane toward Great Britain, he ordered his crew to parachute over the North Sea. While all of the men left the burning aircraft, O’Shea was left alone in the water for several hours until American P-51 fighter planes saw him. They radioed British naval vessels who rescued O’Shea from the earliest stages of hyperthermia. While he was sent to a rest camp to recover from the trauma of this mission, it did

He spent time in a location that was established for men who were being sent home after they completed all of their missions. It was hard for O’Shea to hear these men speak about their desire to see loved ones, attend a ball game and have a drink. O’Shea celebrated his twentieth birthday as a prisoner of war who was now directly under German control. He had the unique experience of observing the massive wartime bombing of both London and Berlin. The German Luftwaffe sent O’Shea to a transit facility that had English-speaking German officers who interrogated all airmen before they went to the prisoner of war camps. O’Shea vividly recalled that the enemy knew more about his chain of command and the missions than he did. While this officer tried to offer O’Shea a cigarette and chocolate, he refused to accept them, as it was a ploy to get information out of him. From the solitary confinement and the poor food, he lost 10 pounds at this Dulag Luft. He was then sent to Stalag Luft III, the same camp that was made famous through the film “The Great Escape.” He often said the film was a little too much Hollywood as the actors looked too healthy to be prisoners and that the escape plans were not as publicized as in this film. According to his son Terry, his father was not a big fan of “Hogan’s Heroes,” which made light of the prisoner of war experience. When O’Shea was in the camp, escapes were discouraged from the commanding officers, as they believed the Germans were losing the war and they would soon be liberated. During one of the severest winters on record, the prisoners of Stalag Luft III were forced to march from the eastern part of Germany toward the interior of the country. The German government did not want to have Al-

lied fliers fall into the hands of the advancing Soviets. The prisoners had very little food and clothing to protect them from the cold. For several days, they were forced by the guards to march on the open road, where they received little rest. O’Shea’s daughter Misty recalled her father did not say much about the war, but he mentioned the hardships of this march. Misty stated that at one time her father explained how younger boys were guarding these prisoners, as most of the older Germans were at the eastern and western fronts. The men finally made it to the German town of Spremberg, where the prisoners were placed in railroad cars and transported to Mooseburg POW camp located outside of Munich. The facility housed prisoners from Australia, South Africa, France, New Zealand, Sikhs from India and the Soviet Union. At one time, Mooseburg was only supposed to house 10,000 people, but by the end of the war, it held 80,000 soldiers. By the spring of 1945, the Third Army under the leadership of General George Patton destroyed the camp’s main gate and liberated all of the men. O’Shea felt the jubilation of freedom and wanted to travel home as quickly as possible. On the troop ship that entered New York Harbor, O’Shea was pleased to be home, but the doctor treating the prisoners of war told him he would was not well enough to last a city block. When he was imprisoned at Stalag Luft III, he contracted tuberculosis from another prisoner. Although he was elated to be home, O’Shea was later sent to Fitzsimmons Veterans Hospital in Colorado to be treated for his serious condition. There was no cure for the sickness and O’Shea spent five years at the hospital, where he was quarantined away from the general patients. His family believed their

father suffered from PTSD. In 1951, O’Shea was discharged from the hospital. He completed all of his high school requirements and took advantage of the GI Bill to earn his college degree in California. With the war and hospital years behind him, at 29 years old, O’Shea was a college graduate with an engineering degree. He traveled back East and was hired by Brookhaven National Lab, where he was an engineer for 10 years. It was at this job that he met his future wife Rosa and they were married in 1959. By 1960, he built a home in Wading River, and they started their family. The couple had three sons — Mike, Terry and Tommy — and a daughter — Misty — along with a tribe of grandchildren. After many years as an engineer, O’Shea did not like sitting behind a desk, and he changed his occupation to become a steamfitter, a job he held as a young man before the war. The position offered him the chance to travel and to earn more money. For two years, he worked in Canada, where his family joined him in the summer. O’Shea was beloved by residents he saw at the North Shore Public Library, the Wading River Fire Department, Calverton National Cemetery and through the Suffolk and Nassau County Chapter of Prisoners of War. He had spoken several times for the films and history class at Rocky Point High School about the actual conditions that were depicted in the movie “The Great Escape.” In 2006, he was made an honorary graduate of Rocky Point High School during the senior dinner, when O’Shea stated that he still owed homework to his teachers at Stuyvesant High School in the city. Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor of American history at Suffolk County Community College.

Clockwise from above, rachel Masullo, sophie alois, Jamie Ortega and amanda Masullo have led the way for Middle Country this season.

Middle Country makes it to semis for fourth straight year By Desirée Keegan Desireee@tbrnewspapers.com For the fourth straight year, the Middle Country girls’ lacrosse team will be making it to the semifinals of the Class A playoffs. But this time, West Islip won’t be standing in their way. No. 3-seeded Middle Country outscored No. 6 Sachem North 9-5 May 22. Because of the seeding, No. 9 West Islip was on the opposite side of the bracket, and No. 1 Ward Melville took care of the dirty work for the Mad Dogs.

“With Ward Melville eliminating West Islip, I think it has taken some pressure off of the team, because we finally have West Islip out of our hair,” senior Rachel Masullo said. “But no matter who we verse, we can’t take our foot off the gas. We have to keep giving it our all.” West Islip eliminated Middle Country the last three years — twice in the semifinals, and in the 2015 finals. Sophomore Sophie Alois said that with the team continuing to improve year after year though, the Mad Dogs weren’t as frightened of the Lions as they had been in the past. “Although West Islip has been our kryptonite the last few years, they don’t intimidate us anymore,” she said. “We know we can play with them, and beat them, and we’ve shown that.” The sophomore was referring to the team’s 13-9 win over West Islip April 20. For now, she’s glad the team can continue its season. “I know none of us are ready for it to end,” Alois said following the win over Sachem North. “Today was just another notch in the belt, and now we’re focused on Wednesday.” Alois led the team with four goals. Masullo had the most points, with five on two goals and three assists. “Coming into this matchup we knew we had to limit our turnovers in the midfield and have a really strong defense, which we did,” Masullo said. “Our composure also played a big part in this win.” The senior added that coming into the matchup, she replayed the loss to Sachem North, an 11-8 defeat May 2, over and over in her mind, and knew the Mad Dogs

couldn’t let it happen again. “It definitely wasn’t a feeling I wanted to go through again,” she said. “The loss really fired us up.” Because a handful of the girls have been playing together for three or four seasons, the team has a strong connection. Having a few sister pairings, and the No. 1 women’s lacrosse draftee in the nation in Jamie Ortega, doesn’t hurt either. The University of North Carolina-commit finished with a goal and an assist. Senior Ava Barry added a goal and three assists, and Masullo’s twin sister Amanda rounded out the scoring with a goal of her own. Alois said that head coach Lindsay Dolson tells the team “your attitude is conta-

gious, and all it takes is one person to get everyone going.” The sophomore said now more than ever, the team is heeding those words. “I know none of us are ready for this season to end,” she said. “We don’t want to feel how we have the last few seasons, having our runs cut short. We are sick of losing, we want to win. The energy from my teammates is motivating, and we’re all contributing to the exciting atmosphere.” Middle Country faced No. 2 Smithtown East May 24, but results were not available by press time. “It’s going to be hard to stop us,” Alois said. “We’re full steam ahead right now, and we won’t stop until we’ve won.”

Police commissioner testifies before Senate committee on gang violence By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini took his crusade against the MS-13 gang to Capitol Hill this morning, calling on the federal government to further join in the fight. Sini testified May 24 before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs in Washington D.C. regarding the impact of MS-13 gang activity on local communities, in a hearing entitled “Border Insecurity: The Rise of MS-13 and Other Transnational Criminal Organizations.” Despite historic reductions in crimes in Suffolk County since last year, Sini said, there’s been an increase in gang violence connected to MS-13. According to U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), chairman of the committee, the mission of the hearing was “to highlight these problems within our government agency, within our government laws and procedures, to make the public aware [and] lay out a reality so we can actually enact public policy to combat it and keep this homeland safe.” Suffolk County has gained national attention after highprofile murder investigations connected to the gang and a visit from U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama) to speak on the topic earlier in May. Sini, speaking alongside Det. Scott Conley of the Chelsea Police Gang Unit in Massachusetts and Chief J. Thomas Manger of Montgomery County Police in Maryland, outlined ways in which the federal government could assist local governments and better stamp out the escalation of gang activity. Some of Sini’s notable quotes from the testimony are below: •More federal prosecutors should be provided to arraign RICO cases, designed to combat organized crime in the United States, against MS-13 gang members. “If the Suffolk County Police Department could launch a pilot program in collaboration with the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s office whereby every MS-13 arrest could be screened for possible federal prosecution ... taking dangerous individuals off our streets, and generate incentives for defendants who cooperate with law enforcement.” •Intelligence sharing among law enforcement agencies throughout the country should be improved. “A singular database with information relating to identified MS-13 gang members would encourage multijurisdictional operations and allow departments to be more proactive in targeting MS-13 gang members in our communities.” •Additional funding for community-based gang prevention and intervention programs tied directly to the number of unaccompanied children from other countries, who are most susceptible to gang recruitment, in local communities. •Improvements should be made to the unaccompanied children program, including increased screening and monitoring of sponsors and post-placement services. Since January 2016, Sini explained to committee members Johnson and U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri), out of the 45 homicides in Suffolk County, 17 of those are believed to be linked to MS-13 gangs and approximately 400 identified MS-13 gang members are active in the county. The commissioner has rolled out aggressive gang eradication strategies within the police department since becoming commissioner in 2016, to target particular communities where the gang is most active, like Brentwood, and to stamp out the activities of its members. The strategy has led to 200 MS-13 arrests, Sini said. In March, in collaboration with the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force, the department arrested four gang members tied to the killings of Nisa Mickens, 15, and Kayla Cuevas, 16, Brentwood High School students beaten to death for “disrespecting the gang.” But, Sini said, it’s not enough. “We recognize that our targeted enforcement and enhanced patrols will not alone lead to the eradication of gangs from our neighborhoods — MS-13 preys on our most vulnerable and if we do not provide the structure for these young people, MS-13 will,” Sini said. The commissioner said the gang members in Suffolk County are predominantly male, between the ages 16 and 29, many of whom hold wage-paying jobs, differentiating themselves from other gangs.

Prevention is one of the most important aspects of living a healthy and long life. However, recent studies indicate that millions of children, adolescents and adults in the United States do not receive crucial services such as routine screenings and annual checkups. Recognizing that preventive care is the key to good health and wellbeing, my colleagues and I have declared May “Preventive Healthcare Month” in Suffolk County. In passing this bill, we hope to encourage residents to prioritize themselves and resolve to make healthy choices to guard against preventable chronic diseases that account for seven out of 10 deaths among Americans each year. Small changes can make a huge difference in the long run. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” — and that starts with you. Preventive care can help patients avoid serious problems and is vital in helping to detect illness or disease at an early stage when treatment is likely to work best.

The combination of an annual checkup, screenings and patient counseling allows health care providers to establish a baseline for an individual’s general health, and directs them as they work with their patients to determine personal wellness goals to manage overall health. Preventive services include immunizations, physical evaluations, lab work and other medically appropriate screenings determined by factors such age, gender, overall health status, personal and family health history, and current symptoms. Risk of chronic disease can be reduced through lifestyle choices which play a critical role. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating nutritiously, getting active, managing stress, avoiding tobacco and limiting alcohol use are some of the most simple, yet effective defense options. For example, a sustained weight loss of 10-15 pounds reduces the risk of diabetes by 58 percent; a 12-13 point reduction in systolic blood pressure can reduce cardiovascular disease deaths

by 25 percent; and a 10 percent decrease in total cholesterol levels reduces the risk for coronary heart disease by 30 percent (according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Suffolk County offers a variety of services and classes to help residents manage their health, including the Diabetes Prevention Program, Smoking Cessation Classes, the Immunization Action Program and the Falls Prevention Program. In addition, the Health Department through the Bureau of Public Health Nursing offers resources to help vulnerable populations with prenatal/ postpartum care, chronic disease prevention and management, wound care, and also provides child abuse and neglect referrals. Visit www.suffolkcountyny.gov/ health for more details. In the spirit of “Preventive Healthcare Month,” take the time to talk with your medical provider.

A warning about a new craze among youths Our Port Jefferson school district support staff has informed me of a dangerous online “game” that has appeared on social media very recently of which all parents should be made aware. “The Blue Whale challenge” asks students to participate in a series of risky and potentially harmful behaviors leading to the ultimate challenge of taking one’s life. Although the game may start innocently (for example, the player has to wake up at 4:20 a.m.), it gradually builds to acts of selfinflicted harm, such as carving the image of a whale into their skin.

The game preys on students who may be vulnerable or unaware of its inherent danger. It has been reported that once downloaded to their phone, students may be made to feel that they have to complete the tasks assigned by their online “mentor” because of threats that their personal information will be released online or that harm would come to their family and friends. Please be advised that this game may also be known by other names such as “A Sea of Whales,” “A Silent House,” and “Wake Me Up at 4:20 a.m.” It is our understanding that

this potentially dangerous game may have already been introduced to some Port Jefferson students. Please speak with your child about the dangers of downloading any game that requires them to participate in risky or harmful behaviors. Thank you for your attention to this very important topic. If you have any further questions or concerns, or would like more information or support, please contact a member of our administrative or support team.

A poem from a Women’s Army Corps veteran Bravery. She stood there silently, hoping her tears wouldn’t show. Her firstborn son had been drafted And off to a new life he will go. That last hug, the kiss on the cheek. The words carefully chosen as she wished him well. Her smile to encourage almost frozen.

OpiniOn A tribute on the passing of my favorite James Bond

e survived all manner of close calls when he saved the world seven times but my favorite James Bond, Sir Roger Moore, succumbed to cancer earlier this week at the age of 89. Many of my friends and contemporaries thought Sean Connery’s suave and debonair flair for the super spy with all the right moves and the smooth delivery of his “vodka martini, shaken not stirred” line was hard to top. There was By Daniel Dunaief something, however, about my age when I saw the Bond films with Moore that put him at the top of my list in the 1970s and ’80s. The endless combination of gadgets and arched

D. None of the above

eyebrows made him a welcome distraction in the midst of the Cold War. I didn’t have any particular need to delve into his psychological profile or his family history, topics the more modern films have tackled. Moore’s Bond was a man of action, staving off disaster from wealthy, eccentric and egotistical villains who often had colorful, mercenary sidekicks. Watching Moore battle with Richard Kiel, who played the impossibly strong, metal-toothed Jaws in “The Spy Who Loved Me” and “Moonraker” was pure entertainment for me as an adolescent. The Bond movies, which started in 1962 with “Dr. No” and are still going strong 25 films later, have had many memorable opening scenes. Told to “pull out” of his mission in Austria, Bond skis away from Russians determined to kill him, but not before shooting several of them, including the lover of someone who would later become his partner in the movie. He escapes by skiing off a cliff, where he seems to fall for an impos-

sibly long time, kicking off his skis and flying through the air with a red backpack that seemed irrelevant until he pulls a string and a parachute with the British flag emerges, accompanied by the blaring Bond music. Moore tugs on the strings of his parachute, as he floats toward the screen. That’s when Carly Simon’s music takes over. I suspect we’ll hear “Nobody Does it Better” in the next week or so. Growing up surrounded by water on Long Island, I reveled in Moore’s journey into an undersea world in a car that turned into a submarine. Moore and Barbara Bach (who played Major Anya Amasova, aka Agent XXX) battled against Karl Stromberg (acted by Curd Jürgens), whose plan involved encouraging war between the United States and Soviet Union so life could begin again in the oceans after humans destroyed themselves. Enemies in “The Spy Who Loved Me” and for much of “Moonraker,” Moore and Kiel team up at the end of “Moonraker” after Bond convinces

Jaws that the villain Hugo Drax has no need for Jaws or his bespectacled girlfriend, Dolly, in his new colony of flawless humans. When Kiel speaks at the end of the movie, saying only, “Well, here’s to us” to Dolly (played by Blanche Ravalec), his voice is almost impossibly normal and tender, adding to the ongoing tongue-in-cheek nature of these high-action films. After Kiel died in 2014, Moore said how “totally distraught” he was at the death of “my dear friend.” While most of us never met Moore, many fans of the franchise felt a sense of loss to hear of Moore’s death. Through his seven Bond films, Moore delivered memorable lines, often with a self-confident smirk, such as when he pushed Drax out into space, encouraging him to “take a giant step for mankind.” While all of the seven films that starred Roger Moore weren’t equally good, there were times — especially in “The Spy Who Loved Me” — where nobody did it better.

A farewell letter to a beautiful Golden Retriever Dear Teddy, First I want to tell you how heartsick I am to have put you down. I know that is the final act of love for a responsible pet owner when a beloved animal is suffering and no longer functioning. Nonetheless I ask your forgiveness for this ultimate act that ended our 12-year relationship. Little consolation but just know I miss you every day. As I think back on your life with us, there are so By Leah S. Dunaief many vignettes that come to mind. We selected you from a litter of 11 fuzzy golden puppies because you suddenly stretched your neck and quickly licked the tip of my son’s chin with your tiny tongue. It was the winning gesture. You started life in our home in the kitchen, where we had a tile floor and a crate for you. In what seemed like

Between you and me

record time, you were housebroken and we decided that you were smart. On the advice of a neighboring dog owner, we hired a dog trainer for a short while, and he confirmed our judgment. “This is one of the smartest dogs I have ever trained,” he said to our delight, although it did cross my mind that he was probably telling us what we wanted to hear. As time went by, however, you showed yourself quick at understanding what was expected of you. Or was it you who trained us to do what you needed when you needed it done? Anyway, we have a lot to thank you for. Thank you for teething on the windowsills, the moldings, the bottoms of the kitchen cabinets and anything else you could fit your little mouth around. Thank you for grabbing the hem of a favorite cashmere sweater in your tiny teeth and giving it a good rip. Thank you for finding a sheepskin glove carelessly left on the chair and digesting the index finger. And throughout that first year and the years thereafter, you always delighted us with your puppylike curiosity. You were growing at a prodigious rate, and by the following year, you made clear your preference for the

beach. Because you were a retriever, we would throw a tennis ball along the sand and wait expectantly for you to fetch and bring it back. Proving that you were not simply one of the pack but to be appreciated for your individuality, you looked after the ball with a bored expression. “Give me a real challenge,” we read in your eyes. So we picked up a stone about the size of a squash ball and threw it half a block. You were after it like a shot, went directly to it among the thousands of rocks on the beach and carried it back to us. But you didn’t give it up. Instead you preferred to chew it, which eventually ground down your front teeth. That was not so smart, I will concede, but it seemed never to hamper you in any way. You also loved to chew sticks and went clamming for rocks with attached seaweed. These you pulled out and brought to the high-water line then tore off the seaweed. You had a mind of your own, we realized early on, as you ran into the water and would not come out when we wanted to return home. You would turn to face us, water up to your knees, and dare us to come in after you. That was acceptable in summer, but not so much

in the midst of winter. And you certainly had a mischievous streak, being selectively deaf when you disagreed with a command. So much for the trainer. You were interested in people, even more than you were in other dogs. And you were absolutely democratic, going up to each person in a room or on the road, skipping no one, and greeting him or her. Some were uncertain, since you were rather a large dog. “He just wants to say, ‘Hello!’” I would try to be reassuring, and you would wait patiently until each gave you at least a perfunctory pat. Satisfied, you would move on. You were like the neighborhood mayor. Our family members, friends and neighbors miss you. At least some of our neighbors do. The rest can probably manage just as well without your tearing across their lawns, looking for a “sweet” spot. Most especially, we miss you in the evenings, when you would wiggle and wag with pleasure at our homecoming. And you would flatten yourself across our knees seeking and giving affection, as we relaxed in the living room after dinner. Goodbye, my sweet dog. Thank you for filling our home and our lives with your love. The memory will not die.
