Greenlawn groups work to refurbish veteran memorial By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com For anyone planning to attend the Greenlawn Memorial Day ceremony May 29, this year’s event promises to be a unique one. After a joint effort between the Greenlawn American Legion Post 1244, the Greenlawn Fire Department and Huntington Town, the Greenlawn monument located across from Greenlawn Park was refurbished. According to the legion post, the monument was originally dedicated as a memorial to Greenlawn residents who fought in World War I. It was then rededicated in 1960 as a monument to “all those who made the supreme sacrifice.” The landmark has been in its current location since 1996 at the corner of Pulaski Road and Broadway in Greenlawn. The original World War I plaque and the 1960 dedication plaque have been refinished to their original conditions, and four smaller plaques have been added to the sides of the monument, commemorat-

ing those who served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the current Global War on Terror. A new eagle will also replace the monument’s existing eagle, which is a smaller one donated by the fire department after the original bronze eagle was stolen. The monument has also been moved several feet forward so it’s easier for residents to see the plaques on the back of the monument. Bob Santo, public relations chairman for the Greenlawn post, said the work for this project started a year ago, and it was completed thanks to a team effort. “It was important to our group because that’s the location we celebrate — Bill Irving Veterans Day and Memorial Day,” Santo said in a phone interview. “But it’s also a focal point of the community, and we wanted to bring it up to date and make it look great again.” Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) said he was approached with the idea from the post and the fire department after the previous year’s Veterans Day ceremony.

‘This is my way of saying thank you to our veterans for all they have done.’

Historic Northport bar gutted after engulfed by fire By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Gunther’s Tap Room was gutted after a fire consumed the walls of the bar Tuesday morning, May 23. The fire at Gunther’s, a mainstay in the Northport Village community and once patronized by famed beat writer Jack Kerouac, required the response of more than 60 firefighters to the scene after Northport fireman Jake Milliken passed the bar in the morning while driving on Main Street and noticed the smoke, according to Steve Silverman, a member of the Huntington Fire Chiefs Council. The department said the fire started at about 7 a.m. and was brought under control within an hour, however it took another two to do a complete overhaul of the establishment. “It was very labor intensive because of the construction of the property,” Northport Fire Department Chief Brad Wine said in a phone interview. “The body of the fire wasn’t tremendous but it was in the walls and ceiling, so we pretty much had to gut it.” Wine said the firefighters had to remove the tin ceiling and open up all of the walls to ensure there was no chance of an additional fire starting. Three firefighters, two from Northport and one from Kings Park, suffered minor injuries including smoke inhalation plus back and ankle injuries from slipping, and were transported to Huntington and St. Catherine of Siena hospitals. Wine said all three are on the mend and at home recovering.

the inside of Gunther’s after firefighters worked to stop the fire and inspect the establishment. Wine said it was difficult responding to the call, knowing the importance of Gunther’s for the community. “Pete Gunther was a former chief with

us in the department,” Wine said. “I knew him my whole life, and I graduated high school with Eddie [McGrath] so it was tough to see something like this happen to

a local business.” McGrath, a former bartender at Gunther’s became a co-owner of the bar after Gunther died last year. “Everyone knows Gunther’s, it’s a landmark in Northport,” Wine said. Northport Police Chief Bill Ricca said the department received an alarm from Milliken, as well as a few other residents. The police assisted the fire department with evacuating five people from apartments on the second and third floor of the building. “The fire department did a really good job of containing the fire,” Ricca said. “These old buildings are tinder boxes, and we were pretty fortunate that it was contained to the first floor, with minor damage on the other two floors.” Ricca agreed it was sad to see this happen to the historic bar. “We’re hopeful they get the spot up and running again,” he said. “It’s a staple to the Northport community, and we hope they can successfully recover it.” The Centerport, East Northport, Kings Park, Greenlawn and Eaton’s Neck fire departments responded to the scene to help. The fire is currently under investigation by the Suffolk Police Arson Squad and Northport fire marshal, and no determination has been made for the cause of the fire. Suffolk fire-rescue coordinators, emergency management and the American Red Cross were on the scene to provide assistance with relocating displaced residents. Ricca said neighboring businesses Clipper Ship Tea Company and 7T8 European Fusion restaurant also suffered some fire and water damage as a result of the incident.

Schumer: We must choke off the source of fentanyl By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com One U.S. senator is hoping to cut off the flow of fentanyl to the many New York residents struggling with drug addiction. U.S. Sen. and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) announced support for a plan that would stop supplies of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times stronger than heroin and is not commonly reversed by Narcan, a lifesaving overdose drug, because of how quickly it enters the brain. The drug has come from China, Mexico and other countries into New York City and across the United States. Schumer also publicly decried a just-revealed White House plan to gut the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s budget by 95 percent. “President Trump’s nonsensical proposal is the most destructive contribution he’s made yet to the fight against the opioid and heroin epidemic, and another clear sign he has no intention of keeping the promises he’s made to the American people,” Schumer said in a statement. “While candidate Trump pledged to ‘take care’ of Americans struggling with addiction and spend the money to succeed, his proposal to eliminate funding for programs, such as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and Drug-Free Communities — which are instrumental in aiding local enforcement drug trafficking in many communities in New York, at the southern border and elsewhere — would effectively kick Americans seeking treatment to the curb and make our communities less safe.” In 2017, the office received $388 million, and under the Trump (R) administration’s proposal, the office would receive $24 million in 2018. The Office of National Drug Control Policy, which was authorized in 1988 with bipartisan support, currently directs the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, the Drug Free Communities Program, anti-doping activities and the World Anti-Doping Agency. The proposed budget plan would also completely zero out the Drug-Free Communities and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas programs, which provide substantial support to treatment, prevention and enforcement efforts on the ground.

‘These deadly substances are being delivered to our homes, being sold on our streets and destroying our families. We know how they get here and where they come from, now we need to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the resources to stop this flood and help save lives.’ — Chuck Schumer

U.s. sen. and senate Minority Leader Chuck schumer, above, supports legislation that will help stop the supply of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid much stronger than heroin, below right, from entering the United states. Fentanyl overdoses are not commonly reversed by narcan, seen administered on a dummy during a training session, below left, because fentanyl is extremely potent and short-acting. “Senate Democrats will never vote to defund these vital programs, and I know there are many colleagues across the aisle who feel likewise,” he said. “I urge the President and Republicans in Congress to reject this proposal immediately.” With fentanyl continuing its sprint onto the streets of New York City and Long Island, Schumer also launched a major push for the International Narcotics Trafficking Emergency Response by Detecting Incoming Contraband with Technology Act. The senator noted the bill is even more important now, with the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s funding on the chopping block. “Fentanyl-laced heroin is devastating our communities and law enforcement needs to utilize every tool and technology to stop the flow of this deadly poison,” Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a statement. “The act will help law enforcement prevent fentanyl and other synthetic opioids from entering the country and will be a great asset in our efforts to dismantle the networks of traffickers and dealers who

are fueling lethal heroin addictions.” The Schumer-backed bill, introduced by U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts), would give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the hi-tech tools and resources needed to improve detection capabilities and increase the seizure of illicit fentanyl shipped to the U.S. from abroad through mail and express consignment carriers. Schumer said he would work with his colleagues to take action on this issue that is destroying families in New York and the rest of the country, and do everything in his power to prevent Trump’s proposal to cut funds. “These deadly substances are being delivered to our homes, being sold on our streets and destroying our families,” Schumer said. “We know how they get here and where they come from, now we need to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the resources to stop this flood and help save lives.” Although pharmaceutical fentanyl can be misused, most of the fentanyl being sold on the street is illicitly manufactured. While distributors in China are the principal source of the precursor chemicals used to manufacture the drug, as well as a source for finished-product illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, Mexico is the primary source for illicit fentanyl smuggled into the United States. Fentanyl suppliers then use methods to mislabel shipments or conceal them inside legitimate goods in order to avoid Customs and Border Protection detection. In 2016, nearly 200 pounds of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids were seized, primarily from along the southwest border. This is a 25-fold increase of seizures in 2015. In 2015, 753 people died of an opioid overdose and, as of April, that number was projected to hit 1,075 for 2016. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene says fentanyl is driving overdose death increases in New York City and is increasingly present in deaths from drug overdoses. There were 303 opioid-related deaths

in Suffolk County in 2016, including 171 related to fentanyl. In Nassau County, there were 190 opioid-related deaths in 2016, including 62 related to fentanyl. “Fentanyl is now killing more Long Islanders than even heroin is, and we know it’s only a matter of time before the next deadly synthetic opioid hits the streets,” said Jeffrey Reynolds, president and chief executive officer of the Family and Children’s Association, a not-for-profit agency that helps protect and strengthen vulnerable children, seniors, families and communities on Long Island. “As substance abuse prevention specialists and addiction treatment professionals work to reduce the demand for drugs, the act will help reduce the supply of synthetic opioids flooding across our borders, into our homes, schools and communities. This legislation is critical as we continue to battle an unrelenting opioid and heroin crisis.”

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.

Fighting hunger

In an effort to promote service learning, Oldfield Middle School students recently collected 1,700 food items to donate to the Harborfields Alliance for Community Outreach (HACO) Food Pantry. The two classes that collected the most items had the opportunity to witness a Pay-It-Forward domino run in the school’s library. Each domino represented an item that was donated throughout the month of April. Due to the hard work of the school’s library staff, a elaborate marble rollercoaster was set up throughout the library. At the launch, the marble was released and the students watched as it traveled through different obstacles, knocking down the dominos and making its way to the finish line.

Principal Joanne Giordano and Assistant Principal Joseph Castoro also attended the event, where the three students who collected the most food cut the ribbon before the launch took place. Sixth-graders Ashton Sylvia, Nahrahel Louis and Ashley Vander Noot did the honors. Librarian Judy Boshnack thanked all the students for their outstanding work and for making the large donation a reality. “If it wasn’t for your big hearts then this would not be possible,” she said. “You are making a real difference in the lives of those in your community.” At the conclusion of the launch, the students used the library’s Makerspace and tried out the new items that were added recently.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) has announced the launch of a new dedicated website – ReclaimOurWater. info – that will provide residents extensive information about the recently adopted Reclaim Our Water Septic Improvement Program. The program is the first of its kind in the county and is designed to help homeowners fund advanced nitrogen removal septic systems at an affordable rate. By installing advanced wastewater treatment systems, homeowners would in turn play a significant role in the county’s plan to reduce nitrogen pollution and protect Long Island waters. “ReclaimOurWater.info will be a onestop shop for our residents who want to learn more about the program, how they can sign up and how we can collectively turn the tide to finally reclaim our water,” Bellone said. “We have taken significant

strides in Suffolk County to formulate a comprehensive and realistic plan that reduces the high levels nitrogen in our waters, while making it affordable for homeowners to replace their outdated septic systems and cesspools with some of the most technologically advanced wastewater treatment systems.” ReclaimOurWater.info provides homeowners with financial, regulatory, technical and infrastructure aspects of the program. The website also provides wastewater industry leaders with information pertaining to septic industry training that are in accordance to county law and the county’s recently updated sanitary code. Residents are also encouraged to contact septicdemo@suffolkcountyny.gov with questions pertaining to the program and their current septic or cesspool situation. —DeSirée Keegan

County executive signs law to protect our parks By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com

146751

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) signed legislation aimed at deterring illegal dumping at county parks — that includes tougher penalties for illegal dumping of hazardous materials, waste and debris. The new law allows for imprisonment of up to one year for each offense as well as increased fines of up to $10,000 for individuals and $15,000 for corporations convicted of illegal dumping. “Illegal dumping is a crime and we will hold those accountable to the fullest extent of the law for engaging in activities that undermine our parks,” Bellone said. “This legislation sends a clear message that we will use every means at our disposal to deter this egregious behavior and do what is necessary to protect our most precious natural resources.” He was joined by local legislators and Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy Sini at West Hills County Park in Melville, which was the scene of an illegal dumping incident in August 2016. “If you dump in Suffolk County, we will find you,” Sini said. “We will come for you and we will hold you accountable.” The newly signed law creates a separate penalty structure for dumping and makes it punishable as an unclassified misdemeanor. In addition, it increases corporate fines from $5,000 to $15,000 for dumping construction

or demolition debris, hazardous materials or hazardous waste. “Illegal dumping in our parks affects our environment, our quality of life and our safety,” said Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), who sponsored the legislation. “Illegal dumping may contain toxic chemicals that can seep into our groundwater and negatively affect our health. It is important that we do everything in our power to prevent these activities from occurring and implementing this legislation is a step in the right direction.” The bill signing highlights the county’s ongoing initiative to protect its 48,000 acres in preserved parkland throughout Suffolk County and takes place in the aftermath of debris being located in various Long Island public parks.

HUNTINGTON UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT UNIVERSAL PRE-KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM 2017-2018 The Huntington Union Free School District is pleased to offer a Universal Pre-kindergarten (UPK) program for the 2017-2018 school year.

PROGRAM DETAILS:

affordable housing Continued from page A5 apartment in Huntington village is approximately $3,000 per month for residents with high incomes, a one-bedroom affordable unit, under HUD’s fair market rent, is $1,533, plus an additional 20 percent off under the resolution. The resolution, Edwards said, requires those benefiting from affordable housing to file a statement clarifying the unit is their main residency and won’t be modified or rented out. Under Resolution 255, read by Berland, town codes will be amended to “make for parking for the affordable units or a provision for off-site parking independent of municipal parking lots.” The resolution addresses complaints that the unaffordable units in the village have strained municipal parking lots that make it difficult for customers of village

MeMorial Continued from page A3 veiling, a Purple Heart will be sealed into the base of the monument in honor of all those who were killed or wounded in all of America’s conflicts. In addition, a National Defense Ribbon will be included in honor of all who have worn a United States service uniform. “I’m very happy with how everything came together,” former post commander Dennis Madden said in a phone interview. “It was important to get this done because

businesses to find parking. Berland said the ultimate goal is to eventually provide a parking structure in the village. On the passing of 255, she said, “My colleagues on the board made a good decision ... everybody recognizes the need for affordable units and parking for those units. We’re helping young people be able to live in an part of the town that’s zone C-6.” The unanimous approval by the board was met with applause from residents in the room. Richard Koubek, vice president of the Huntington Township Housing Coalition, took to the podium to personally thank Edwards and Berland for pushing the legislation forward. “This is a step in the right direction,” Koubek said. “This is probably going to be primarily single-bedroom and studio units in the downtown and that’s where our young people want to live but they can’t afford it. We thank all of you for voting for it.”

• The UPK program will follow the 2017-2018 Huntington school calendar. • It is a half-day program (2½ hours per day) that will meet five days per week. • A total of 108 seats will be available, split between AM and PM sessions, at Jefferson Primary, Southdown Primary, and Jack Abrams STEM Magnet Schools. There will also be 16 seats available at the Developmental Disabilities Institute (DDI). • Students will be selected via random lottery (required by New York State) and only one application will be accepted per child. The lottery will be held on Friday, June 2, 11:30 AM, in the Jack Abrams STEM Magnet School auditorium. Notifications will be sent by mail after the lottery is held. • While you may indicate preferences for AM/PM and/or school location on the application, there are a limited number of seats in each building therefore it may not be possible to honor all requests. • Registration will occur following lottery and notifications. Residency documentation will be required during the registration process. • Transportation will be available to the in-district sites.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: this is a monument to all of the people who have fought for this country.” Bill Irving said this project came together thanks to the teamwork and unity of the post and the fire department. “This was a true partnership. We did this together for the right reasons,” he said in a phone interview. “It’s important to us to support our veterans in any way we can. This is my way of saying thank you to our veterans for all they have done.” Residents can come see the unveiling after the Memorial Day parade Monday morning, which starts at 9 a.m., just prior to the annual Memorial Day ceremony.

Harborfields heads to semis for first time in four years By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com For the first time in four years, the Tornadoes are touching down on semifinal turf. With a 14-7 win over Comsewogue May 23, the No. 4 Harborfields girls’ lacrosse team advances to take on No. 1 Eastport-South Manor May 25 at 4 p.m.

Harborfields 14 Comsewogue 7

“The whole season we’ve had a team first mentality,” senior Falyn Dwyer said. “We win as a team, we lose as a team. We knew it was a do or die situation, so we really picked up the intensity.” That passion showed. In the first 10 minutes, Harborfields was already up 4-0. At the 13:41 mark, Dwyer scored her hat trick goal. Senior Katherine Alnwick followed her up with back-to-back goals less than a minute apart, and soon the Tornadoes were ahead 7-0. “Last time we faced them we had a lot of trouble scoring, so we worked on a lot of offenses to capitalize on finding the open girl,” Dwyer said. “A lot of the time [my teammates] clear out for me if I have the ball and they know I have a lane. They do a good job of letting me use my speed. We moved the ball a lot better than we have in the past and we put our plays in well.” Comsewogue junior Hannah Dorney found the back of the net with 9:13 left in the first half to put the Warriors on the board, freshman Olivia Fantigrossi set up eighth-grader Ava Fernandes off a free position and Dorney scored again off an assist from senior Julia Tuohy to cut the lead to 8-3 at the end of the first half. The successive goal scoring seemed to work well for the Tornadoes, and sophomore Hallie Simkins kept it going with back-to-back goals to open the second half. “Coming off the draw strong really

Harborfields head coach Kerri McGinty also thought her team was resilient from start to finish. “We had a mind-set when we stepped out on the field today and it carried through,”

Girls’ lax Continued from page A12 she said. “We took smart shots, we finished, we had some huge defensive stops that led to goals — so it was that culmination of everything happening together. All of the girls

were playing for each other. That’s the best thing you can ask for a team.” Senior Grace Zagaja’s turnover led to her second goal of the game, and junior goalkeeper Erin Tucker made half of her eight saves in the game’s final minutes to halt the Warriors’ threat. Zagaja and senior Kailey Broderick were also key to grabbing ground balls that gave the Tornadoes extra

possessions, which led to even more goals in the final minutes. Dwyer finished with four goals, Broderick had two goals and two assists and Alnwick added two goals and an assist. “There was a lot of hustle and a lot of heart,” Dwyer said. “Now we have one day to prepare, so we have to put in a lot of work tomorrow.”

Simkins said if the team plays like it did against Comsewogue, they’ll be successful in the next round. “It was a good team win — we put all the pieces together,” she said. “It’s nice when everyone shows up, and I’m confident in the way we play when that happens. Getting this first-round win is a major barrier we finally climbed over.”

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 well-being, 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, screen-

ings 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 1015 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,” please take the time to talk with your medical provider about what preventive care steps you can take now to protect you and your family.

Clipper Ship Tea Company needs community help As many of you know there was a fire in Gunther’s Tap Room, Northport on Tuesday, May 23, at 7 a.m. [see story page A5]. The entire building is condemned due to smoke, water damage, electrical damage and unsafe structural conditions. We are currently not able to operate our business at the Clipper Ship Tea Company location. We have lost all our contents, equipment and product. It is unclear if we will ever be able to reopen in the same location. The journey to reopening or relocating will be a long and hard one. After a decade long career sailing around the world in the Merchant Marines I decided that I wanted to move back home to Northport and open a tea shop to sell teas from around the world. In 2010 I poured my entire life savings, approximately $125,000, into opening the Clipper Ship Tea Company. I opened the doors of the tea company in the historic building at

80 Main St., Northport. This business has been my passion and my entire life for the past seven years. Along the way I have been so lucky to be joined by employees Jackie, Mackenzie, Paul and Becca. We have been blessed to have met and grown relationships with customers from down the street, across Long Island and across the country. So many of you have grown to be part of our business and you are the reason that we are still here. You are the reason that we have grown and thrived for seven years. My 1st grade teacher from Norwood Avenue Elementary School is one of my customers. Friends of mine from Northport High School that I graduated with in 1994 are our biggest fans. Without all of you, we would never have been a success. Since our building is condemned, we have learned that it may take six months or more to reopen and get the building restored

and to code. We would love to temporarily open in another location in Northport as soon as possible. Although we do have insurance we quickly learned this morning that it is not enough to cover all of our losses. We are looking to replace our inventory of 250 teas, replace electronics, replace product and be able to pay our staff so that they do not have to go elsewhere for new jobs. It is so crucial for us to retain our loyal and hardworking employees who have been with us for more than five years. Thank you for the hundreds of people that have reached out to us. We appreciate any and all help. There is nothing we love more than growing and operating a small business in our hometown Northport. We hope through your help we can get back on our feet and reopen with our staff.

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 to top. By Daniel Dunaief hard There was 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 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 impossibly 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 con-

vinces 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.

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 that I miss you every day. As I think back on your By Leah S. Dunaief life with us, there are so 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

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.

D. None of the above
