The corner of Grandview Boulevard and Lower Rocky Point Road in Miller Place will now have a sign saying Pendergast Path in honor of the street’s former resident and founder of ALS Ride For Life. Local officials, friends and family joined together on Monday, June 21, next to the street sign to remember Pendergast’s legacy and honor his efforts in the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — a degenerative neurological disease that ultimately leads to a loss of muscle control throughout the body, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Monday was Global ALS Awareness Day. “What a beautiful day to have this event,” said Ray Manzoni, president of ALS Ride For Life. “We’ve got somebody up there keeping an eye on us.” Pendergast died on Oct. 14, 2020, after a 28year battle with the disease. His nonprofit has helped raise more than $10 million in research for ALS. During the annual Ride For Life, Pendergast was known to ride his motorized wheelchair hundreds of miles to raise funds and awareness of the disease. His longest ride was 350 miles in two weeks. “He defied the odds in so many ways, his endurance was remarkable,” Manzoni said. “He was extraordinary.” Pendergast, a former teacher in the Northport school district, was told he only would have a few years to live after his diagnosis. He beat the odds and spent over two decades educating people on the disease and devoting his life to helping others. His daughter, Melissa Scriven, told the crowd of people that the ALS Ride For Life board started in their house on Grandview Boulevard. Team meetings were held in the kitchen, and the dining room became an office. In 1991, the family moved to the street and two short years later he was diagnosed.

“Our lives were forever changed — dreams for this new house and our new life were shot,” she said. “But only briefly … his positive attitude and optimism shaped how we would handle this ALS diagnosis. We were a team and we’re going to live with this disease — and live we did.” Scriven said her father adored this house. “It’s quite fitting that he lived on Grandview Boulevard,” she said. “My dad would for sure say that he was blessed with a grand view of the goodness of humanity, of the loyalty of friends, of the generosity of strangers and the grandest view of all, the love of his family.” As part of a street renaming, the Town of Brookhaven requires an individual to have provided the town with an outstanding service. And that he did. Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point) presented the Pendergast family with a proclamation from the town shortly before the curtain unveiled Pendergast Path. Bonner said she had a special connection to the day’s event. “My grandfather died from ALS in the early 1980s, long before anybody really knew what ALS was,” she said. “I have learned so much about ALS because of Chris, because of this organization and because of the people with ALS that really don’t ever let you forget that this disease should not be forgotten, that we need a tremendous amount of research dollars.” She added there is a lot of time to make up due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “People need to be as generous as possible because there are many more people suffering and so we must find a cure,” she said. “And I can think of no person that deserves this honor more than Chris.” Pendergast’s wife, Christine, was honored to have her husband’s name across the green sign. “I think he would be grinning ear to ear,” she told TBR News Media. “He took his ALS bike to the streets, literally, and we now have a street named after him. I think it’s a very fitting way to honor him and his work.”

Rocky Point High School custodian saves student’s life

we are incredibly grateful for his heroism that day.” Principal Jonathan Hart identified this worker as being an “outstanding custodian in this district and an even better person. He takes pride in his job and always goes out of his way to help students and staff alike. His quick response and decisive actions surely saved this student from potentially losing consciousness or perhaps an even more grave fate.” Mirabile was proud of his exploits and saw that Cook “quickly took over and protected this student during a chaotic situation.” His main peer during the course of the day Castellucci recalled that this student was “already changing colors and acted in the right way. I am friend to be next to him on a regular basis.” The feelings of O’Brien, Hart and the custodial staff are also consistent amongst the staff members when looking at the wonderful attributes that are demonstrated by Cook. Many of the guidance counselors marveled at the quick thinking of their good friend. Michael Conlon observed that it “comes as no surprise that Mr. Cook acted in this way, as he never hesitates to help others on a daily basis. He is a man of true decency.” James Jordan saw the drive of Cook to help this student as being his “mantra to go above and beyond to help others in this building, regardless of the situation,” and guidance facilitator Matthew Poole feels that Cook is a “hard working

On Wednesday, June 16, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point) was joined by Sound Beach Civic Association president Bea Ruberto to honor longtime SBCA board member Kevin McKeown as he steps down from the board. Bonner presented McKeown with a proclamation to thank him for his many years of service to the civic.

McKeown has also been active with the Rocky Point VFW, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Tin Can Sailors Organization. He is also very committed to helping the less fortunate in the community as a volunteer at the St. Louis De Montfort Outreach and Hope House. He has been a member of the Civic for 11 years and board member for six.

“Kevin has participated in just about every project that the Sound Beach Civic Association has worked on and is always available when called upon,” Bonner said. “I thank him and his wife, Mary, for all they have done in service to the community and I’m sure that he will continue to serve in some capacity.” Photo and caption from Town of Brookhaven.

Dave Cook

“Dave Cook is the Salt of the Earth.” These are the recent words of Rocky Point High School guidance counselor Tammy McPherson to identify the true character of this long-time district employee. Cook has been a member of the high school custodial staff for 20 years. Always a figure that is seen with a smile on his face, he works well with Tracy Castellucci, and Chris Mirabille, Cook supports all of the custodial needs of the students and staff members of this high school. It is not difficult to spot Cook, as he is usually wearing his trademark Rocky Point baseball hat, or a Met or Giants cap, and talking sports with the teachers around him and always asking others about their families. Originally, this city boy was a product of Rockaway Beach, where he understood the importance of giving back to his community through the army sacrifices of his father, who was a combat veteran during the Vietnam War. Cook enjoyed playing stick ball, being on soft ball teams, and going to the local city beaches as a kid. In 2002, he was hired by this district as a custodian and he moved his family to Rocky Point. Right away he noticed the change from the bustling atmosphere of Queens to the slower pace of our local suburbs and country setting. This lifestyle was a change for him, as he now saw deer on his property and lives only steps away from the Long Island Sound. It is safe to say, that Cook’s presence in Rocky Point has been a good fit for both this town and his family. Cook represents the backbone of this strong North Shore hamlet of regular, hard-working, dedicated, blue collar, middle class residents that take pride in their homes, jobs and community. During the COVID-19 pandemic when the schools closed down last year, the sincerity of Cook was seen on a nightly basis. He hosted nighttime Facebook happy hours that brought together staff members through lively discussions, music and even culinary tips. Cook was the DJ that kept everyone smiling during these nightly events that brightened the morale of many people during a dark time period. On June 10, Cook was going about his daily routine of working in the cafeteria, where he is

responsible to maintain a safe and sanitary dining environment. After he learned from another teacher William V. Weinold that 15-year-old Avery Ward was choking on her food, he quickly ascertained the Heimlich Maneuver was needed to help this young lady. After five thrusts from behind Ward, a silent cafeteria of on-looking staff and students watched as Cook aided the health and well-being of this student. While he helped a student that he did not know, as a parent of his four children of Thomas, Jacob, Brady, and Lily, Cook thought of his own kids being in a similar desperate situation. Always a “team player,” Cook quietly goes about his business on a regular basis, but his job title quickly changed at a moment’s notice in treating this student. Jessica Ward was incredibly pleased over the presence of Cook to care for her daughter. She looked at the quick actions of Cook and said, “We are incredibly grateful that Cook was in the right place, at the right time. He never froze and we owe him everything towards the survival of our daughter.” Currently Avery is a varsity cheerleader that enjoyed being in Weinold’s 9th Grade Honors World History course, going to the beach and being around her family. She is also a motivated young lady that earns her own money through her previous job at McNaulty’s Ice Cream Parlor in Miller Place, and currently at Power Nursery and Greenhouse on the corner of Radio Avenue and Route 25A. And she has also established her own business of dressing up like the “Grinch” and taking holiday, birthday, and special occasion pictures with younger children and families. Like that of Cook, she is a busy member of this school that is a student-athlete, that was quickly treated by her newfound friend, where they will share a lifelong bond. As Cook supremely acted on this day, it was not a surprise to those people in this school that knows him best. He is a valued employee that deeply cares about the people and environment of this high school. Superintendent Scott O’Brien believed that “Our very own Rocky Point High School custodian, Mr. Dave Cook, is a true hero. It’s one thing to have the training to do this, but it takes a person with courage, confidence and compassion to jump into action like Dave did and

individual that would give you the shirt off his back. He deeply cares about this school and considers this building to be his second family.” Holly Rizzi assessed the strengths of Cook as being a “devoted father, that displays the true instincts of a parent to help this student in critical need,” and guidance secretary Kelly White has worked closely with Cook over the last several years. She described him as “one of the most genuine people that’s always smiling and willing to help you out at any time, whether he knows you or not. It didn’t surprise me at all to hear that he jumped into action with a second thought.” The selfless nature of this Rocky Point employee demonstrates that heroes don’t have to be rich, famous or well-known, but they come in the form of good people like that of Dave Cook. Moments after this accident, staff members from every position within the high school praised Cook to thank him for his quick thinking and attention to detail. While it was a perilous situation, many of the people that know Cook the best, were not surprised at his willingness to help other’s. This has always been his nature and Rocky Point is fortunate to have the loyalty of this employee to support others through all types of situations. Rich Acritelli is a social studies teacher at Rocky Point High School and an adjunct professor of American history at Suffolk County Community College.

tbrnewsmedia.com Goforto more sports photos Mustang Kellachan shuts down SWR for conference championship BY STEVEN ZAITZ DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Mount Sinai senior pitcher Dan Kellachan has a long memory. When head baseball coach Eric Reichenbach handed Kellachan the ball to pitch against archrival Shoreham Wading River for the Conference V title, the fireballing righty had a single thought — revenge. Back on May 14, the 6’1”, 200-pounder was uncharacteristically shelled by SWR for four runs in four innings, including two home runs, in his only loss of the season.

“Since then, that game has been the only thing on my mind, and I wouldn’t have wanted to face any other team to win the championship,” Kellachan said. “I knew I could have done better against them last time. I was happy I got the chance to prove myself.” He did exactly that, as the Mustangs defeated the Wildcats 4-1 on Friday afternoon and advanced to the Long Island Championship game against Nassau County’s Island Trees. Kellachan, mixing a fastball in the low 90s with a knuckle curve, struck out four in 5 2/3 innings, escaped some serious basepath traffic, and got big-time help from his defense and bullpen.

“With a championship on the line, there is nobody else I’d rather have out on that mound than Dan,” Reichenbach said. “His outing against these guys in May did not worry me at all. Dan has the mental make-up just for this type of situation — and he proved it tonight.” From very early on, Kellachan would call upon that mental make-up, as the Wildcats were prowling around the bases and looking to strike. “I got out of a couple of tough spots there and I had a lot of help from my defense,” the Ithaca-bound senior said. In the 2nd inning, the Wildcats put runners on second and third to start the frame. Kellachan struck out Jacob Bacenet and Joey Marchese and then got Kyle Engmann to ground out to end the threat. Kellachan pumped his fist with delight on his way back to the dugout. It would be one of many fist pumps on the afternoon. In the 5th, Mustang center fielder Joe Valenti made a fine shoestring grab and right fielder JT Caruso made a diving catch to end the inning with the bases loaded. In the 6th, with Mount Sinai nursing a three run lead, Matt Fauvell, who replaced Caruso in right, made a twisting catch of a wind-blown ball with two outs and the bases again loaded. If that ball gets past Fauvell, the game would have likely been tied. “We’ve been playing great defense all year,” Reichenbach said. “Our offense has come and gone at times during the season, but we’re all about pitching and defense, and those two parts of our team showed up today.” SWR starting pitcher Billy Steele wasn’t as fortunate. Two errors in the third inning led to three unearned runs for the Mustangs and

first basemen Matt Galli, who would relieve Kellachan and finish the game, knocked in L.J. Bohne and Matthew Carrera with a single to center. Mount Sinai would eventually take a 4-1 lead into the seventh. Galli pitched 1 1/3 innings for the save, giving up two walks and a hit. Despite the baserunners, not to mention his unorthodox style of having his baseball cap fly off his head after every pitch, he negotiated the final four outs, fittingly sent Kellachan off to college as a winning pitcher — and his team to a championship. Upon the final putout, there was a sea of white and red bedlam in the middle of the diamond — with Kellachan on the bottom of the pile. “There’s no better way to go out,” said Kellachan, who acknowledged the adoring home crowd with a tip of the cap when he was relieved in the sixth. “We have such a great team and we’ve had such a great season. I’m glad I could get this win. Now, we have one more win to get.” The Mustangs would indeed get that win, beating Island Trees to win the Conference V Long Island Championship on Father’s Day. They blew a three-run lead in the fifth inning as the Bulldogs tied the score at 5. But an RBI double by catcher Derek Mennechino gave Mount Sinai a 6-5 lead. He would score on a sacrifice fly later in the inning, but only after the umpires discussed the tag up rule for nearly 30 minutes. They would allow Mennechino’s run to stand. The final score was 8-6 and it gave Mount Sinai its first-ever Long Island baseball title. They finished the year with 19-2 record, which is the best in school history. Relief pitcher Chris Batuyious pitch the final three innings and was credited with the win. Photos by Steven Saitz

Panther’s pounce to win the Suﬀolk County Championship BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With the Suffolk County class A softball championship title up for grabs, Miller Place forced a game three with Bayport where both teams were tied at 1-1 after three innings. The Panthers turned the tide in the bottom of the 4th when Julia Lent with bases loaded, laid off a pitch for the walk to plate Sydney Stocken for the go ahead run. Madison Power’s bat spoke next with a base hit driving in two runs to make it a three-run lead. Jessica Iavarone the starting pitcher stepped into the batter’s box and ripped a shot to deep right for a base clearing standup RBI triple to put her team out front 7-1. Bayport managed a run in the top of the 5th but their bats went silent the rest of the way.

Mustang’s fall in county final BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Mount Sinai Mustangs No. 3 took a one goal lead into the halftime break in the girl’s class C lacrosse championship finals against Bayport No. 1 June 16, but the Phantom’s peppered the scoreboard with four un-answered goals to open the second half to lead by three. The Mustang’s arrested their scoring drought on a Kylie Budke penalty shot to trail by two with 9:47 left in regulation. Bayport was dominant at the draw position and dominated the time of possession clock the rest of the way to hold off Mount Sinai for a 7-5 victory to advance to the Long Island championship round. Mount Sinai junior Nicole Phillips scored twice as Kylie Budke, Lea Flobeck and Kayli Carannante each scored in the Mustang’s season finale. With the win Bayport remains perfect on the season at 16-0 entering the Long Island Championship final as the Mustang’s conclude their 2021 campaign at 10-5.

Staying safe

After sitting home for over a year, people are finally emerging from their living rooms. The world has opened back up, restaurants and venues allow 100% capacity again. Things are starting to look like they’re coming back to normal. Remember before COVID-19 how many murders, shootings and disputes there were — not only on Long Island but across the country? For almost a year, there was little news of a gunman entering places of business. Schools weren’t open, so there were no high school shootings — something that happened relatively often in 2019. It was nice, wasn’t it? But now, we’re seeing a lot of instances again where we need to remember to be safe. Last week, there was a stabbing in the early morning on the Greenway Trail in Port Jefferson Station. Barely two days later, a shooting occurred outside a bar in Port Jeff village. Now that life is seemingly regular, the people who have pent-up energy, anger or who are emotionally disturbed are back out in the public. It’s time to be aware of our surroundings again. People might have forgotten to look over their shoulders while walking in a parking lot in the dark. They might not realize it’s not safe to be alone during a walk at night. If a customer looks unstable at a business, it might be good to alert someone and stay away. Things are back to normal and, unfortunately, that means the bad stuff is back, too. Keep your phone handy, bring a friend to places infrequently visited so you’re not alone and maybe invest in a whistle for your keyring to deter someone coming at you. If someone is walking toward you, look them in the eyes, so they know you can identify them if needed. Also, it never hurts to let someone know where you are going, especially when it’s late at night or you are traveling in an unfamiliar area. Nowadays there are also apps for your phone that can help you stay safe, from ones that you can check before you venture out to see if any crimes have been reported in the area, to others that will send a message to your contacts you predetermine if you scream or don’t respond to a text message from the service by a certain time. It’s important to stay safe. Look out for yourself and look out for others. We’re all in this together.

Letters to the Editor Zeldin weaponizes issues for his quixotic campaign Congressman Lee Zeldin’s [R-NY1] “perspective” piece in the June 17 edition is filled with statements that necessitate fact checking. He blames remote learning and lockdowns for the escalation of mental health issues in children, seemingly not realizing that it is not remote learning or lockdowns that created these problems, but a global pandemic that has killed over 600,000 Americans. Blaming the preventative measures taken shows his deep lack of understanding of what factors contribute to mental health issues. His sudden concern for mental health issues is disingenuous at best, given the fact that he voted for Trump’s health care plan in 2017, which made mental health and addiction treatment preexisting conditions. Zeldin disregards the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics that all children who are not fully vaccinated wear a face mask to stop the spread of COVID-19. As there is no vaccine available

to children under 12 — which is the entire population of most elementary schools — his “unmask our kids” crusade goes against the recommendations of medical experts in the field. It endangers our youngest and most vulnerable, whose only protection against the virus is wearing a mask. Ignoring the medical experts is a testament to the sheer arrogance and ignorance that characterizes his political career. He also takes this opportunity to raise the latest right-wing talking point, that of critical race theory. It seems that Zeldin is unaware that CRT is a legal theory taught in law school. That’s disappointing, given that he is himself a lawyer. Was he not paying attention in class that day? What is and should be taught in our schools is an inclusive curriculum that highlights our diverse nation. It is not “dishonest” or “divisive,” as he states. It’s just facts and history as it happened. I suppose for right-wing extremists like him, that truth is

uncomfortable, as it exposes the bigotry of his own ideology. As Zeldin weaponizes these issues in his quixotic campaign for governor, it is important that media outlets call out the falsehoods, and not publish them as “perspective.” It is crucial that the media recognize this for what it is, a distraction from the real issues that we face. Question Zeldin on his troubling legislative record, which has disenfranchised marginalized communities and working families. Question him about his peddling of “the big lie,” and his vote against certifying the election of President Joe Biden [D]. Question how his rhetoric and actions contributed to the failed insurrection on Jan. 6. It is the media’s responsibility to hold our elected officials accountable and not merely provide them free space to peddle falsehoods. Shoshana Hershkowitz South Setauket

Zeldin’s article begins with a cheap shot at Gov. Cuomo [D] by focusing on some confusion about masks in schools but completely fails to mention Cuomo’s daily briefings on TV in the thick of the epidemic providing the latest scientific updates and guiding New Yorkers on how to avoid infection. The governor’s efforts led to one of the highest vaccination rates in the country and very low infection rates. He is one of the main reasons we can even open schools and businesses.

The congressman further errs when he chooses the rights of those refusing vaccinations over the health of those who have been vaccinated. I am 80 and contracting COVID-19 would be very serious, if not fatal. I have been vaccinated but there is still a small chance I could be infected. I don’t want to incur additional risk by being forced to sit at sports events or the movies next to people who refuse vaccination. Those who choose not to be vaccinated should sit separately. Let them

take responsibility for their decision and not endanger me. Finally, Zeldin claims not to want to indoctrinate school children but he refuses to allow even the discussion of systematic racism in America. That is, to indoctrinate them with the same old views. Does he really want to teach the “Gone with the Wind” view of happy slaves? I would hope not. Adam Fisher Port Jefferson Station

I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Fred Gumbus, proud member of the Port Jeff Fire Department, who died recently at the age of 97. Fred was a 73year veteran of Hook and Ladder Company 1, following his service as part of the crew of a B-26 bomber in Pacific during WWII. I first met Fred in 1967 when I joined Port Jeff Hook and Ladder following my

retirement as a firefighter in FDNY. Fred was friendly and incredibly supportive, not only to me, but to all our members. He served for many years as our chauffer and his devotion to our company was second to none. Following in Fred’s proud example, several of his children and grandchildren also joined the department and just like Fred, did an incredible job.

As a 54-year member of the Port Jeff Fire Department, I know I speak for all who served and respected Fred. “Pop,” we are sad for your passing. We miss you and will never forget what you did for the community and for our Department. God bless my friend. Desmond O’Sullivan Port Jefferson

This July 4th marks the 50th anniversary of the swearing in of the first woman mayor of Port Jefferson, my mother Sandra Swenk. She worked tirelessly from 1971-1977 to make this village, for the people and by the people who lived and worked here.

She was the only woman on the board until Marie Donaldson became the first woman trustee in 1975. My mother and my late father, both born and raised here, helped incorporate Port Jefferson with other dedicated residents in the early 1960ss, finally

coming to fruition in 1963. Many of her accomplishments and visions have been lost and forgotten along the way but let us not forget the first “Leading Lady.” Brenda Swenk Port Jefferson

Zeldin’s cheap shots gone with the wind

Thank you, Fred Gumbus

Opinion Ready to cheer for the magical return of Broadway

ith my fingers crossed, I am excited about the return of shows on Broadway, which is scheduled to reopen in September. Something magical happens when a curtain rises, taking an excited audience on a musical journey to other places and other times. Decades ago, I attended a production of “The King and I.” While the famous Yule Brenner played the title role, I found the experience utterly meaningless. D. None I remember asking of the above my mother what those BY DANIEL DUNAIEF small people were doing so far away from me, as we watched that production in the third balcony.

“Next time,” my mother said through gritted teeth to my father, “I’m getting the tickets.” Sure enough, my parents took my brothers and me to “A Chorus Line.” The experience was as different as standing across the street, looking through the fog at a candy store and sitting at the counter, reading through a menu and enjoying the smell of warm waffles and ice cream and the sight of tantalizing delicacies akin to what I imagined Turkish delights from the Narnia series would taste like. The live performance so completely captivated me that I left the auditorium humming some of the songs and hoping everything would work out for characters who came from broken homes and broken dreams. Each of the actors was taking his or her shot, hoping for approval, and a job, doing what he or she loved. I have found numerous shows that have been as moving and as thrilling, including more modern performances, like “Dear Evan Hansen.” The combination of sights and sounds, the

emotional range from humor to tragedy and the riveting live voices that cause seats to vibrate and artwork to come alive provide a completely immersive artistic experience. I don’t always love every moment in a show, and I don’t always understand what a director or actor is conveying, but that doesn’t stop me from trying or from appreciating the effort. When I was in high school, I joined the pit orchestra of the musicals “The Wizard of Oz” and “West Side Story.” I far preferred the latter, with its more complicated and intricate music, although participating in each performance provided artistic highlights for my high school career. On one of my first dates with my wife, we attended “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” starring Nathan Lane. The show, which I had seen once or twice before, was a familiar pleasure, while Lane’s periodic breaking of character and hamming up the role tickled the audience, sharing the equivalent of a modern-day wink with an appreciative crowd.

After the show, I was thrilled to find that my wife shared my love and appreciation for the Great White Way. We repeated lines that amused us, commented on the sets, and appreciated the spectacular stage presence of an acting legend who, somehow, show after show, seemed to be completely in the moment. As we continue to emerge from a pandemic in which we discussed books we’d read and Netflix shows we’d seen, I am eagerly looking forward to returning to the cushioned seats, the brightlycolored programs, the friendly ushers, and the hard-working cast members who inspire and elevate my life with their dedication, talent and hard work. Who knows? This year, I might even go back to dressing up for the occasion, tying a tie, finding matching dark socks, and wearing dress shoes as the lights return to live performances, the orchestra holds up its instruments, and the actors take deep breaths, preparing to serenade those lucky enough to score tickets to a transformative ride.

season. And while I was wearing a life vest, I had casually closed only the top couple of toggles, so the vest rode up to the level of my chin, pinning the edge of my broad-brimmed hat that had come askew in front of my eyes. While I knew I was in the water, I couldn’t see a thing. It took us several minutes to sort ourselves out, my son, daughter-law and myself. We worked to untangle ourselves as we cling to the side of one of the overturned pontoons. Then the boat became caught in a mooring into which the wind had blown us. We hoped one of the two motor boats that came along would stop to help. They passed us by, but one slowed down to take a video of us struggling in the water. It is hard to right a catamaran, and in the sudden heavy wind, it proved impossible. “Maybe we should call for help,” my daughterin-law suggested, and proceeded to do just that. Fortunately Evelyn and Greg Haegele, in their sailboat aptly named “Necessity” heard us

and slowly approached. My children were most concerned with getting me to safety and up the swim ladder that Greg had thrown over the side, my daughter-law helping me swim over to their boat. My son calling out my age with concern in his voice. It was not easy to climb the six steps in my sopping wet clothes, but as they say at NASA, failure was not an option. Then Greg passed his sunglasses to his wife and made a beautiful dive to swim over and help right the Hobie. Together they were successful despite the strong wind. As my children clambered back aboard and sailed off, a police boat, followed by a fire boat dashed after them, checking to see if all was well. It seems some alert person in a waterfront home in Belle Terre, witnessed the mishap and called 911. Meanwhile the Haegeles took me back to Port Jefferson via the launch service and then drove me home, a drenched dog.

A ‘Thank You’ note to my rescuers

three-year-old golden retriever, missing for two weeks, was pulled out of Barnegat Bay Wednesday by two blessed souls. I know how that golden feels. I was pulled out of Port Jefferson Harbor Sunday and was I ever grateful. I’ll tell you the whole story. My family is visiting, finally, as the pandemic fades. That includes three sons, three daughters-in-law, one granddaughter, two grandsons, (the third was working), one dog Between and two cats. Sunday you and me late afternoon we noted BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF the arrival of what sailors call “the cocktail breeze,” and to enjoy

it, three of us went out in the harbor on a 16-foot Hobie Cat. The catamaran is little more than two pontoons connected by a sturdy webbing on which passengers sit. There is a mainsail and a jib, and the light craft really flies across the water. But there is no motor, only an oar in case the wind dies down, and we have to row ourselves back to shore-hardly a desirable state of affairs, as you can imagine. So, there we were, happily zipping along, when the breeze turned into a sudden gust, caught us off guard, and lifted one pontoon out of the water. I was sitting above the other, and I saw the colorful mainsail rising up like a wall and coming toward me. The abrupt knot in the pit of my stomach confirmed that we were about to capsize. That had never before happened with this boat. I braced for a shock. To my pleasant surprise, the water temperature, while not warm, was more comfortable than I expected for so early in the
