Suffolk County quits playing games when it comes to children’s products

Pushing for a safe boating season By alex PetroSki
Town and county officials aren’t taking boating safety lightly, and are urging residents to take precautions while out on the water this summer. The issue was the topic of discussion at a press conference held at the Sandspit Marina in Patchogue on June 4, following a hit-and-run incident on May 24. Mark Tricarico, 31, of Selden, was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of a boating accident involving injury, according to a Suffolk County Police Department press release. Tricarico allegedly crashed a 23-foot boat into the west jetty at the entrance of the Patchogue River on the night of the 24th. One passenger was treated for minor inju-
ries. Tricarico could not be reached for comment. “If everyone follows safe boating procedures, most accidents can be prevented,” Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said on June 4, just yards away from the site of the incident. June and July are typically the busiest boating months of the year on Long Island, and Romaine, along with Suffolk County Police Marine Bureau Deputy Inspector Ed Photo by alex Petroski Vitale, urged boaters to be From left, assistant deputy county executive tim Sini; Police Marine aware of boating laws in the Bureau deputy inspector ed Vitale; Brookhaven Supervisor ed rohope of avoiding a repeat of maine; and Brookhaven councilman neil Foley at a press conference. the events of May 24.

Suffolk County tackles toxic toy legislation By Phil Corso
Suffolk County is not playing games when it comes to toxic toys. Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) saw one of her latest proposals receive unanimous approval last week when the Suffolk County Legislature approved measures that would ban the sale of any toys containing potentially dangerous toxins. The Toxin Free Toys Act zeroes in on six toxins most commonly found in toys marketed to children and will forever ban them once the legislation gets County Executive Steve Bellone’s signature. Hahn said the initiative came as a response to a recent report issued by the New York League of Conservation Voters and Clean and Healthy New York that found several children’s products containing carcinogenic components on the shelves of Long Island stores. Most specifically, the legislation targeted dangerous materials that are linked to cancer, cognitive impairments, hyperactivity and genetic disorders in children, Hahn said. “As a mother, I am outraged that children’s toys contain these toxic chemicals that can cause cancer, learning and developmental disabilities and respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal disorders,” Hahn said. “By passing this law today, we are acting proactively to protect our children’s health.”
Under the proposal, new children’s products sold in Suffolk County would need to contain less than specified limits in parts per million of the six following components: antimony, arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, lead and mercury. The legislation pegged the county’s Department of Health Services to head up the operation by notifying retailers by the beginning of 2016 that inspectors would be conducting random checks for toys and other children’s products containing toxic content using an x-ray fluorescence analyzer. Clean and Healthy New York released the “Toxic Toys on Long Island” report back in December, which surveyed various retail spots like Target, Party City, Walmart, The Children’s Place, Macy’s, Ocean State Job Lot and Dollar Tree to find that some products contained potentially harmful materials. The report found more than 4,600 children’s products and toys contained at least one of 49 hazardous chemicals. Kathleen A. Curtis, executive director of Clean and Healthy New York, was one of several health and safety advocates to applaud the proposal as an appropriate response to December’s report. “In the absence of a strong state or federal law to regulate toxic chemicals in children’s products, it is both laudable and appropriate for Suffolk County to take action to protect its most pre-

cious and vulnerable residents,” she said. “Hopefully, this action will create a tipping point for New York State to follow suit. Otherwise, more localities will step up and follow Suffolk’s lead.” Marcia Bystryn, president of the New York League of Conservation Voters, has also been at the forefront of the statewide push to limit the kinds of toxins children could be exposed to through their toys. While the state still waits for its own
comprehensive response to toxic toy legislation, Bystryn applauded Suffolk for taking the lead. “Toxic chemicals have no place in children’s toys, and they should not be on store shelves for sale,” Bystryn said. “I applaud bill sponsor Kara Hahn and the Suffolk County Legislature for sending a clear message to parents that they deserve the right to know what dangers are lurking in the products they bring home.”

Three Village schools tackle tech-savvy agenda By AndreA Moore PAldy
Even though it may seem counterintuitive, administrators in Three Village are encouraging Ward Melville High School students to bring their smartphones, tablets and other digital devices to class. It is part of the Bring Your Own Device initiative designed to enhance students’ academic experience by allowing them to log into the district’s Wi-Fi network for educational resources. In a comprehensive report to the Three Village school board last week, Kerrin Welch-Pollera, the district’s executive director of instructional technology, spoke of those and other technological initiatives now in play or soon to be introduced at the elementary and secondary levels. She also gave an update on the district’s use of technology to improve security at the school campuses. Speaking specifically of the BYOD program, Welch-Pollera said there are 3,336 devices currently connected to the district’s Wi-Fi network. They are all running Google Apps for Education. She explained that this special version of Google lets students do searches in an environment that “is pretty much closed off to the public” and has no advertising. Also, she said, teachers can share documents with their students through Google Classroom. For students who don’t bring their own devices, there are 23 Chromebooks available to be checked out from the high school library at the beginning of each day. There is usually a line for them, Welch-Pollera said. Additional resources include access to Microsoft Office 365, which staff, students and parents can download to their home devices. BYOD will be piloted at the
junior high schools this fall. Welch-Pollera also spoke about instructional technology helping to standardize curriculum across grades and managing the Destiny online library system. As an example, Destiny has e-books that can be read by an entire grade at the same time. This tool has made the districtwide fifth-grade Bull Run project possible and is facilitating a voluntary seventh-grade summer reading assignment about cyber bullying. Other instructional support has come with the purchase of seven smart tables, which work like smartboards. WelchPollera told the board that two smart tables will be used in the new preschool program. Five are already being used in special education classrooms, she said. The district also has 150 iPads and 3-D printers in the secondary schools and will receive an additional 123 Chromebooks from BOCES through Race to the Top funding, Welch-Pollera said. This school year saw a major upgrade of the district’s security technology with the addition of access cards, entryway cameras and driver’s license scanners. Welch-Pollera also noted upgrades to Infinite Campus, the district’s parent portal, and software training workshops for teachers. In July, the district will roll out a new website; and a new, customizable district app will be introduced in the fall. Additions to the curriculum will include the Hour of Code initiative to be led by the new elementary STEM teachers. The new program will introduce programming language to elementary school students. A computer science class will be offered at the high school in January and a technology class at each junior high. Welch-Pollera will work with administrators and teachers to determine how to

spend the district’s $3.39 million allocation of Smart Schools Bond Act money, state funds earmarked for prekindergarten facilities, security technology, Internet connectivity and technology for learning. The district will develop a three-tofive-year plan that outlines goals for instruction and how technology can support it, she said. There is no time limit for the district to spend the money, but
it cannot use the funds for professional development, technical support, software or subscription services. Being considered are network and wireless infrastructure upgrades to make sure there are access points in every classroom, additional security cameras, upgraded phone systems and additional classroom projectors and displays, Welch-Pollera said.

Standing up to bullying through song By Erika karp
A Mount Sinai Middle School student will share his original anti-bullying song with hundreds of people at Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker’s concert series. Jameson Wessels, a Mount Sinai eighth-grader, was named the winner of Anker’s (D-Mount Sinai) bullying awareness music video contest last Monday. Jameson and his friend Katie Gudzik created the anti-bullying video featuring the song — called “Why?” — that will be posted on the Suffolk Stop Bullying website. The site, which launched last year at www.suffolkstopbullying.org, provides information and resources about bullying and anti-bullying efforts. Jameson also received a $500 prize from the North Shore Youth Council. The video showcases music written and performed by Jameson and stars Katie as a victim of cyberbullying. Savannah Moore, another student, wrote the song’s lyrics. Jameson said he hopes the music video will show others how sad bullying can make someone feel. “I’ve been bullied in my life and I think that it’s wrong,” he said. “It happens more often than you think.” Fellow Mount Sinai student Isabela Neves won second place for her original song, while teachers Sommer and Margie Marchand, of Marchand’s School of Dance in Miller Place, won third place for their dancers’ performance of Colbie Caillat’s “Try.” Mike DelGuidice, lead singer of Big Shot, a Billy Joel tribute band; Anthony Mingoia, drummer of pop punk band Patent Pending; and Danny “Enjetic” Rivera, of the Asking Myself Association, an anti-bullying organization, judged the entries. “There are so many ways to get a message across and I think one of the most important ways is through creative music, and that is why we chose this type of forum,” Anker said. DelGuidice, a Miller Place native, said bullying affected his life and now, as a father, he sees how bullying still affects kids. “[I] just thought we could all gather together as a community and actually put a stop to it and do our best to keep our eyes on it,” DelGuidice said. Jameson, who has been bullied, said bullying is in every community and parents and administrators can’t push the issue aside. He added that other students must take a stand and not be just a bystander when they witness bullying, which can be a hard thing to do. “I think I’ve gotten better at it as I’ve gotten older, but it is still something many people struggle with, including me,” he said.

Two historically important books came to life for students in the Three Village Central School District as they participated in interactive, literacybased workshops this May. The Elementary Living Book Project brought together more than 100 of the district’s fifth-grade students for an interactive program surrounding the book Bull Run, by Paul Fleishchman. Teachers, staff members and outside presenters dressed in clothes of the Civil War time period and guided the students through a memorable experience.

The message of Ellie Wiesel’s Holocaust book “Night” resounded off the walls at Ward Melville High School as approximately 80 students participated in a workshop called “All Night in a Day.” The students, who were from Tammy Catalfamo’s and Ira Sterne’s history classes and Andrew Pelosi’s Holocaust elective course, spent the day listening to a reading and participating in various interdisciplinary workshops and activities. These included reading nonfiction pieces, viewing artwork, listening to a musical selection and discussing the role today’s society plays in preventing this type of event from reoccurring.

board in 1975-76. Kristin said that his desire to be on the school board was in large part to fight for the budgets of the music, sports and arts programs that are seemingly always the first to go when money gets thin. Olness loved baseball, tennis and basketball, and often spent hours on the phone discussing the Detroit Tigers baseball team with his father, who lived in Michigan. He also played football in high school and college, Margaret said. Olness was a supportive father and husband, according to Margaret. Their children have gone on to enjoy rewarding careers in wide-ranging walks of life, thanks in no small part to that parental support.
Frederick is a professor and physics department chair at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas; Robert is a major in the Army Reserve, awaiting his next deployment; Kristin has just finished a year on Broadway in “Cabaret,” and was also a member of the cast in the show’s 1998 revival; Richard is an actuary for the Department of Defense; and Christopher is a professional trombonist on Broadway currently playing in “On the Town,” the hit musical comedy. “Dad put emphasis on education, and he and Mom supported us in exploring the arts and recreational sports,” Richard said in an email. “And in the later years, he encouraged us each to find a career we would enjoy.” A memorial service will be held for John Olness on Thursday, July 2 at Setauket Presbyterian Church.

HISTORY CLOSE AT HAND
Historic Wanderer has East Setauket roots by beverly C. Tyler
Joseph Rowland’s home and shipyard is in East Setauket at the intersection of Shore Road and Bayview Avenue. Rowland built the schooner-yacht Wanderer in 1857 for Colonel John D. Johnson who was a member of the New York Yacht Club, a wealthy sugar planter from New Orleans and had a home in the Islips. The Wanderer was designed by Captain Thomas B. Hawkins, who supervised construction. The sails for the Wanderer were made in Port Jefferson in the Wilson Sail Loft. Wilson also made the first suit of sails for the schooner-yacht America, which captured the cup that still bears the name of that first winner. That summer of 1857, the Wanderer sailed Long Island Sound with Captain Hawkins as its sailing master. The ship’s owner, Johnson, sailed it with the New York Yacht Club Squadron. It was said to have been the fastest schooner ever built, too big and too fast so the yacht club wouldn’t let it compete. That fall, Wanderer voyaged to Havana, via Charleston and Savannah, and it was very widely acclaimed. However, Johnson sold the Wanderer in 1858 to William C. Corey and soon after it reappeared in Port Jefferson. It was fitted out for the slave trade, probably at the yard of J.J. Harris. Numerous large water tanks were installed. All
the people looked the other way, except S.S. Norton, surveyor of the port. He became suspicious and notified federal officials in New York. The revenue cutter Harriet Lane intercepted the Wanderer off Old Field Point and took it in tow to New York over Corey’s loud protests. Corey glibly talked himself free and the Wanderer was allowed to leave for Charleston, where the real owner Charles Augustus Lafayette Lamar surfaced. Actually he probably crawled out from under a rock. Lamar, staying in the background because of his previous connection with slavers, obtained customs clearance for it. They completed fitting out for the slave trade and sailed for Africa. Its captain was John E. Farnum, a mean looking cuss. Slavers were rigged to outrun the slave squadrons of Great Britain and America, both of which were trying to stop the now illegal slave trade. Wanderer took aboard some 600 “negroes” and sailed for America. The slaves were laid down side-by-side alternating head and feet and chained, wrist to ankle. They were kept lying there for days and there was no sanitation. Even worse, if a ship was overtaken by one of the slave squadrons, it was not uncommon to bend an anchor to the last man on the chain and let it go overboard, taking the whole cargo of slaves and destroying the evidence. On the evening of Nov. 28, 1858, the ship

landed 465 Africans on Jekyll Island, Georgia. The rest died during the voyage and were unceremoniously tossed over the side. The ship was seized by federal authorities; however, the Africans, now on Georgia soil, a slave state, were sold at auction. There was outrage in the U.S. Congress; but little, if anything, was done, less than two years before the start of the Civil War. Wanderer was sold at auction and Lamar bought it. In the spring of 1861 it was seized by the federal government and used as a gunboat in the Civil War. It was credited with capturing four prizes. After the war, the U.S. Navy sold it to private owners who ran it aground on Cape Maisi, east out of Cuba, on Jan. 21, 1871, and she was a total loss. The mess kettle that was used to feed

the slaves on Jekyll Island still existed in the 1970s but has since disappeared. There was even a sign beside it that explained the history of the kettle and said that the Wanderer was built at East Setauket. In 2008, the Jekyll Island History Museum opened an exhibit on The Last Slaver. A walking tour of the maritime and wooden shipbuilding area along Shore Road in East Setauket will be conducted this Saturday, June 13, beginning at 2 p.m. Meet at the Brookhaven Town Dock for a tour of the homes and shipyards that built ships that sailed around the world. The tour includes the home of the Wanderer shipbuilder and his story. Beverly Tyler is the Three Village Historical Society historian.

interview. “It happens, and they could hit another boat just as easily.” Assistant Deputy County Executive Tim Sini attended the press conference on behalf of Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D). “We want to make one thing clear—boating while intoxicated will not be tolerated in Suffolk County,” Sini said. Sini added that there would be checkpoints and patrols to monitor the waterways and ensure that everyone remains safe this summer. Some additional safety precau-
tions suggested by Romaine and Vitale included a boating course approved by the U.S. Coast Guard as well as a swimming and first-aid course, operating at safe speeds, and designating an assistant skipper in case you are injured or otherwise unable to assume command of the vessel. “The water can be a very hostile environment,” Vitale said. “It’s a beautiful looking place and it is truly, but it can be very hostile to people. You have to pay attention. You have to be aware of the weather. You have to be aware of the currents. This is something that, every now and then, people get out on the water and they just don’t get it.”

OPINION editoriAL
Slower takeoff for drone laws
As a community newspaper, we find ourselves tossing around the phrase “NiMBY” — standing for “not in my backyard” — from time to time. But it’s usually more of an expression, and a negative one, than a literal translation of residents resisting something from going into their actual backyards. But in the case of drones, NiMBY could not be taken more literally. Call them drones, call them unmanned aircraft systems — either way, the public perception of these flying devices is still developing as they buzz around the skies. huntington town attempted this week to ground concerns over these drones when it introduced a resolution that would regulate their use for the betterment of public health, privacy and safety “so that operation of same is respectful of community standards [and] the concerns of residents, as well as protect property and privacy rights,” the resolution said. huntington wasn’t alone in its efforts to come out a step ahead of drone regulation, either. U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and several other elected leaders have been banging the drone drum for months now, calling on the Federal Aviation Administration to require drones to fly below 500 feet and limit where they can fly. While we understand the legislative urge to keep an eye on the sky for the sake of public privacy and safety, we hope our public leaders don’t turn the drone debate into a droning drain on resources. There are several things to consider when it comes to drawing the legislative line for drones. At what point would new laws encroach upon our personal freedoms? Whose job is it to regulate them? does the regulator depend on how high the drone flies or what jurisdiction is underneath it? Should regulations vary based upon the type of drone? Moving forward, our local municipalities should not jump the gun. officials should properly investigate all the nuts and bolts of the drone industry and be careful when determining where governments should step in. Flying a drone is not like flying a kite, and we, like many of our neighbors, are concerned about personal privacy and public safety. All we ask is that our elected officials consider the whole subject carefully before inking laws.

One letter writer responds to a previous letter to the editor regarding Memorial Day Parade attendance.
Memorial response to the editor: i was surprised by Bob Mandel’s letter citing small turnout for the Memorial day parade in the June 4 edition. i too am a long time resident for 35 years. i too served in the Army for two years.
A community coming together to the editor: i would like to thank my wonderful customers and members of the community who helped us collect summer toys, sports equipment and beach supplies for children and their mothers living at domestic violence shelters. We host fundraisers each year at The Groomery in Stony Brook, like the easter basket collection in April, our school supply collection in August, and winter clothing drive in November. This particular one we start right before summer to make the donation by Memorial day, and it was our best collection yet! We have had wonderful success thanks to the many people donating
i share Mr. Mandel’s view of the importance of the parade, and i attend happily each year. My surprise comes from his statement that “the crowds along the parade route just weren’t there.” From my usual viewing spot at the corner of Gnarled hollow road, it seemed to me that there
was the usual robust and enthusiastic turnout. i was particularly pleased by the large number of young families with children. i write this letter because Mr. Mandel asked for responses to his letter.
items or simply sharing the information on social media. The three shelters we work with are Brighter tomorrows, The retreat, and Suffolk County Coalition Against domestic Violence, now L.i. Against domestic Violence The families living at the shelters leave behind almost everything when they leave their abusers, some of them coming in with nothing at all. We started working with the shelters a few years back when we started one Love, one Life, one Fight, an organization that boards pets, offers veterinary care and food free of charge to pets of the families entering the shelters, so they do not have to leave their beloved pets behind with their abusers, as pet abuse and domestic abuse often occur in tandem. We also offer them the

option to be reunited with their pets after they leave the shelters. So, offering some summer toys, coats, school supplies, easter candy or luxuries they cannot provide for themselves or their children helps to bring some normalcy and joy back into their lives and gives them one less burden to worry about while letting them focus on healing. Thank you to everybody who donated or raised awareness for our fundraiser!

The perennial trauma of public speaking
D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
W
e talk constantly. We speak to our spouses when we wake up, to our children when we try to get them up, to our friends on the way to work, to the person preparing our morning bagel, and on and on. Most of that speech is automatic. “Hey, how are you doing?” “Great, you?”
“Can’t complain. I mean, I could complain but who’d listen?” When we’re not talking, we often hear an internal dialogue. “Why didn’t you demand a raise?” “Next time, next time.” “You’re always saying that. This is next time.” “Hey, stop yelling at me!” Words are as natural most of the time as the steps we take on the way to or from the car, down the block, or up the stairs. We don’t think, “Left, right, left, right.” Wait, no, isn’t it, “Right, left, left, right, right?” And yet, something happens to the natural flow of words when we have to give a speech. It’s not the same for everyone. I suspect many politicians are so comfortable giving speeches that they just need to know where the camera is to share their eloquence. That’s not exactly the word I’d use to describe the times I’ve had to speak in front of large, or
even medium-sized groups. I’ve spoken out in meetings many times about stories, offering my opinion or awareness of the history of an evolving story to a group of editors. I’m fine in those situations. It’s when I get up in front of a group of people, many of whom I don’t know, to share some words on a subject that the discomfort begins. I lick my lips regularly before I begin, as the saliva that pours forth from my mouth so readily at other times has decided that this moment is the ideal time to take a vacation. My breathing becomes shallow and quick. “I, uh, would, uh, like to, uh, say a few words.” Speeches are like walking on the bottom of the ocean, wearing heavy boots and breathing through a small tube. Suddenly, the words become like unknown and unseen obstacles, blocking the path to communicating something charming,
witty, insightful and cohesive. “Uh, hi, I’m, uh, uh, Dan, right, Dan.” Why do those public words become so unfamiliar and uncomfortable? Is it because we can’t correct them? Do we feel as if we need to perform the words instead of just sharing what’s percolating in our minds at the time? In the middle of a speech, we can’t say, “Where was I? Oh, yes, that’s it. I could really use a tuna sandwich right now.” I recently gave a short speech in front of a group celebrating my brother’s birthday. I didn’t know many of the people in the room and even though it was a receptive audience, I started to feel the typical nerves building up in those last few moments. The speech went fine, or so people have assured me. But then, of course, the voices in my head shared their customary public-speech criticism. I became like all those pundits
I started to feel the typical nerves building up.
who second guess every word and decision after an election or after the big game. “You know,” I thought to myself, “you should have started with this joke. That would have been funnier.” “Oh yeah?” I wanted to bark back at that self-critical voice. “Where were you 10 minutes ago?” “I was here, you just couldn’t hear me because too many other voices were up here, shouting into your ear not to mess up.” Yet it always seems to turn out all right. Until the next time.

Happy Birthday to my smart best friend

T
eddy will be 10 years old this week. Who is Teddy? That’s an interesting question that we have frequently debated over the years. Ostensibly Teddy is a dog, a gorgeous golden retriever, on the large and hairy side. But we who live with him know differently. While he masquerades as a dog, trotting around the house drinking and eating from his dog bowls and otherwise sleeping and greeting, we know he is much too wise to be a dog. I’ve not been a believer
in reincarnation particularly, but if there is such a process, Teddy is the real deal. We’ve speculated on which of our ancestors he might be, and we’ve not come up with a certain identity. But there is no question regarding his intelligence. For example, when we are sitting in the living room and talking, he will curl up in the center of the room and join the conversation. Really. To the extent that he is able, he communicates with throaty and moaning sounds up and down the human scale. When he wants to go out, he will come over to where I am reading and try to look me in the eye. If I refuse to meet his gaze, he will plop his head across the newspaper or book I am holding, forcing me to acknowledge his presence. When I do, he will jerk his head in the direction of the front door repeatedly until I get up to get the leash. Then he will bound toward the door while uttering a series of falsetto sounds clearly expressing his joy.
OK, so that’s not so brilliant. Every dog knows how to communicate its biological needs to its walker. But consider this. It’s raining, dark and late. I’m standing in front of him, leash in hand, asking encouragingly, “Want to go out?” No response. “Want to go out?” I ask again. Unmoving, he will shake his head from side to side. He has mastered the body language for “no.” He can also spell. If the time is right for his next outing and I interrupt the conversation with my family by asking if anyone wants to take him o-u-t, he will jump up and rush toward the door with the ritual histrionics. Goldens do have the most expressive brown eyes. Sometimes, when I have something on my mind and no one else is around to overhear my monologue, I will talk to Teddy and he will fix his limpid eyes on me all the while. Now he may just be thinking, “What on earth is she carrying on about?” hoping that, if he stays still long enough, in the end I will give him a dog cookie. But that’s the wonderful

thing about dogs: They never seem to have pejorative thought about the people who care for them. One of their greatest attributes is that they can’t repeat what you tell them. They can only listen sympathetically. We should all be so smart. Teddy loves broccoli and kale, especially when prepared with some garlic. He also eats yellow and red peppers, spinach, mushrooms and onions, all with gusto. He does not eat tomatoes nor bananas. Teddy bears his age with grace. In human years, he is in his 70s, and his hips give testimony. He has some distinguished white hairs among the gold around his muzzle, and he definitely likes to sleep a little later in the mornings. He has developed an impressive snore. Our daily walks are a stately event. No longer do I have to keep him on the leash for fear he will dash off to the nearby beach or visit his friends in the adjoining yards. He is content to walk at a moderate pace beside me LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz
Teddy, the golden retriever, bears his age with grace. — most of the time. When a rabbit crosses our path, he will look at it almost quizzically, as if wondering why he used to get all steamed up chasing a bunny. A cat? Not so much. He will still go off in pursuit of one — for at least 50 feet — and then return to my side looking mildly embarrassed. He needn’t be because one of his endearing traits is his playfulness. I never scold him for being a dog, even a dog in disguise. And I appreciate that, even if he is past retirement age, he still works at his job. He knows that his job is to guard the house, and if anyone should drive up in a car he doesn’t recognize, he will let loose with a series of ferocious baritone barks. That is, if he hasn’t slipped downstairs for a civilized afternoon nap. Happy Birthday, Teddy.
