Textbooks are dense things. Heavy, ex-pensive and fi lled to the brim with names, dates and locations most people don’t care to commit to memory. For some though, those pages are more than just ink on pa-per. They are our gateway to the stories of the untold billions that came before us. Each textbook holds a glimpse into their lives, a testament to their struggles, sacri-fi ces, triumphs, dreams and defeats.

About three months ago I was given the extraordinary privilege of bringing to life a unique chapter in our local and national history: fi rst through research, followed by writing and now through a labor-intensive yet nonetheless fun fi lm production. This project will create something that helps history escape the binds of textbooks, tran-scending into an unforgettable experience.

Though I am not quite ready to share all the details, I am excited to announce that beginning this summer families can enjoy an interactive digital attraction known as the Culper Spy Adventure. This education-al and entertaining experience will bring to life General Washington’s secret Setauket spy ring and will recruit you and your fam-ily into the starring roles of your very own Culper spy mission — and let me say, the only thing more fun than experiencing it, is producing it.

So how do you go about fi lming some-thing that takes place in the 18th century? How does one even start that process? Be-fore you can move forward, you must al-

ways look to the past. Where was that mo-ment that captured my imagination? When did I know I was hooked on history?

My time-traveling journey began long be-fore I became the unlikely producer of this wonderful and unique project. From a young age I remember others describing my family as “Disney people.” Mickey Mouse had an al-most oppressive presence in our household. He was on our plates, silverware, cups and would annually adorn a Santa costume while

plopped down beside our menorah and Dis-ney-themed Christmas tree (complete with a Tinkerbell tree topper and Lion King orna-ments). It was somewhere around that time that my dad was fi rst diagnosed with a rare but operable brain tumor.

My parents were understandably un-certain of how to explain such a serious subject to an emotionally fragile kinder-gartner. So naturally, my parents broke the news to my brother and I in a place

that would ensure distraction and com-fort, our home away from home — Disney World. You didn’t have to be very old to understand that something was wrong. You could feel the sadness in their tone as they explained to me what may hap-pen and the risks of the surgery ahead. We tried to make the best of it, and made a genuine effort to have fun. During that trip we made our regular stop in Epcot, my favorite of the four parks.

Inside the giant white sphere that over-sees that park is Spaceship Earth. This slow-moving tram ride transports you through the ages, complete with animatronics play-ing out vital scenes from throughout human civilization.

You see the Phoenicians inventing the alphabet, the Greeks experimenting with theater, the sacking of Rome (which smells oddly like bacon), the Dark Ages, the Re-naissance, all the way to the modern era and beyond.

In celebration of the ASPCA’s Na-tional Help-A-Horse Day, the Brookhav-en Highway Department and the Kaeli Kramer Foundation hosted the 3rd annu-al 5K Walk/Run at the Holtsville Ecology Site last Saturday.

Despite April showers, more than 100 attendees helped raise $2,500 to benefit the Brookhaven Wildlife Center and the Kaeli Kramer Foundation, which pro-vides sanctuary to unwanted horses and conducts humane education classes at the center each summer.

The event, which raised awareness of the inhumane treatment of horses and other animals, also featured family-

friendly activities including a humane-themed puppet show, face painting, arts and crafts, a scavenger hunt through the animal preserve and a national horse-manship demonstration. The Holtsville Ecology Site is home to two of the Kaeli Kramer Foundation’s rescued mustangs, Callie and Valor.

“I want to thank all the residents who participated in the Kaeli Kramer Founda-tion 5K Walk for the Horses at the Holts-ville Ecology Site this past Saturday,” said Superintendent of Highways Daniel Losquadro. “The money raised will help the foundation in its mission of caring for as many rescue horses as possible.”

From the eyes of a kindergartner it was so much more than a slow-moving tram ride, it was my very own DeLo-rean time machine. Suddenly this six- or seven-year-old had become a master of time and space. What an extraor-dinary gift to be given, a chance to see history come to life. So here we are many years later. My dad has since recovered and my boyhood days are long over. Yet I’m given the awesome responsibility of building something that will give other children that same bewildering sense of excitement and magic.

Keep an eye out for Part Two as I discuss bringing to life local heroes like Abraham Woodhull, Caleb Brewster and Alexander Hamilton. Working alongside the incred-ible folks in the 3rd NY Regiment living history group, the Huntington Militia, as well our some of our great local historians and organizations.

We are true time travelers and are beyond excited to share our adventures with you. Until next time, happy time travels! Looking forward to writing more. Share your thoughts with me at [email protected].

By Fr. Francis Pizzarelli

A few months ago a lead story on the front page of a number of daily newspa-pers in our larger community supported the headline “I forgive you!” It was the words expressed by the son of a highly respected woman who was killed by a highly respected doctor on the North Shore who drove home under the influence.

The son addressed the judge, the court and the doc-tor on behalf of his family. He said, “you are still a good man and you are still a good doc-tor.” He went on to express that the physician needed to move forward with his life and continue to do good for oth-ers. “That is what our mother would want.”

The doctor expressed pro-found regret and remorse. Allegedly all who were in the court that day were power-fully moved. The judge was so moved by the victim’s family’s compassion and forgiveness that he sentenced the doctor to a much lighter sentence than he had initially intended.

This family’s compassion and call for forgiveness is a powerful challenge to all of us. When we are victimized, our ini-tial reaction is to be vindictive and/or get even; forgiveness rarely makes it to center stage.

So many drug- and alcohol-related tragedies are not calculated but are caused by reckless decision-making. Reckless decision-making does not always equal a bad person. A growing number of extraordinary young people are making poor choices that are very costly. They must be held accountable. However, long jail sentences are not the answer. They do not rehabilitate the person; too often they merely reinforce negative behavior.

Long-term incarceration for nonviolent drug and alcohol offenses are not cost-ef-fective or helpful. We spend thousands of dollars to warehouse human beings that need treatment and rehabilitation so they might grow from this tragic circumstance and not become recidivists but rather be-come productive contributing members of our community.

Recently I presided at the funeral of a young man from a fine family from Nas-sau County who overdosed on heroin. He

was 28. I worked with him in treatment a number of years ago.

TJ had battled addiction since he was 15 years old. He started using at the end of high school. In his early 20’s, his drug use

was out of control. With great reluctance, he finally agreed to long-term treatment, after countless short-term programs did not work.

As a broken young man, he found his way to a long-term, nontraditional residential treatment program. He fin-ished his formal treatment in 18 months and elected to stay for an additional two years. His friends and family said those three years were the best years of his life.

After he left that commu-nity, his journey was fraught with chronic relapses. His last relapse took his young life. While he was in long-term treatment, he was diagnosed with a depressive and anxi-ety disorder. He reluctantly agreed to take medication, which helped greatly, but he hated the stigma that came with that decision. When he left treatment, he stopped all

his medications and hid behind his smile, his compassionate heart and his generous spirit.

It has been my experience that a grow-ing number of hard-core heroin addicts suffer from the additional affliction of a variety of mental health disorders that unfortunately go undiagnosed and un-treated.

The heroin epidemic is a national health crisis. Our traditional approach to treatment is failing miserably. Too many insurance companies are sentencing our young adults to death because outpatient treatment for most opiate addicts does not work — they fail because they die!

Our political leaders at every level of government express so-called concern about the severity of this national health crisis. However, they continue to hide behind their rhetoric that provides great photo ops but no additional money or beds for long-term treatment.

Let’s demand that they deliver on their empty promises!

For many patients who come to the hospital, their medical team — physi-cians, nurses and other health care professionals — serves as a lifeline. Skilled and compas-sionate, these dedicated care-givers help to ensure patients receive the care they need both physically and emotion-ally.

So it is with great pleasure that we celebrate and salute our nurses, physicians and all our health care professionals during National Nurses Week (May 6 to 12) and National Hospital Week (May 8 to 14). While we are grateful all year long for the jobs they do, these special weeks remind us to let these dedicated individuals know how much they are re-spected and appreciated.

Because Stony Brook Medi-cine is an academic medical center and the region’s only tertiary care center, unique medical issues confront our caregivers on a regular basis. Each day a new patient or situation challenges us to take the best ideas in medicine and turn them into practical solutions for our pa-

tients. With our nurses frequently on the front line of care, it is often up to them to lead those efforts.

But a hospital runs on more than care. From those who work to keep our hospital clean, to those who prepare nourishing food, from the experts who main-tain our technology, to the landscapers who maintain our grounds, from first-year nurses to the most seasoned medical specialists, every single person at Stony Brook makes a mean-ingful contribution.

We are proud of all of the individuals who contribute to Stony Brook — proud of the expertise they offer and the compassionate care they deliv-er. They are the people behind our mission to always strive for excellence as a world-class institution, recognized for out-standing patient care, research and health care education.

Please join me in extending thanks to all of those who con-tribute to the exceptional care to our community and beyond.

L. Reuven Pasternak, M.D., is CEO, Stony Brook University Hospital and Vice President for Health Systems, Stony Brook Medicine

Each day ... challenges us to take the best ideas in medicine and turn them into practical solutions.

You Can Change, At Any Age!

“My pain has subsided consider-ably. But, I must tell you that I don’t think I would have made it this far without your help. I was a mess when I first saw you, but you gave me a new sense of strength, new knowledge about nutrition and just a better regard for myself.” ~ Nurse Practitioner/IBS and ulcerative colitis sufferer, age 62

“I feel awesome after eating the diet, especially in the morning. I can’t believe how much has improved with such small changes. My cholesterol is normal, and my triglycerides dropped dramatically - almost 200 points! My blood pressure medication was stopped, yet my blood pressure is the best it has ever been.” ~ E.M., age 44

“My cardiologist was so impressed with my results. By following Dr. Dunaief ’s advice, I’ve been able to stop all three of my blood pressure medications. My heart palpitations, which were limiting my activities, have dramatically reduced in frequency, my energy levels have increased and I have lost 15 pounds in two months.”

~ Nurse, age 62

“…just wanted to share the…great news – I passed my fitness test and achieved my highest score ever! Thank you for all your support and help. You know how important this was for me. I’m so pleased with the results.” ~ Military Surgeon, age 43

David M. Dunaief, M.D.Clinician, Author

and Speaker

The results I have achieved working with Dr. Dunaief have been quite remarkable. My primary goal was to reduce average blood pressure to acceptable levels. This was accomplished in a little over 3 months. Coincidentally I was able to reduce my overall cholesterol from 250 to 177 with a much improved LDL/HDL ratio in 4 months. In addition I lost over 30 lbs and went from 24% body fat to 17.7%. I have some good days but mostly great days and I’m very happy with the results and look forward to even more improvement in the future.—D.L., age 64

The treatment and prevention of atrial fibrillation

David Dunaief, M.D.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most com-mon arrhythmia, an abnormal or irregular heartbeat, found in the U.S. Unfortunately, it can be very complicated to treat. Though there are several options, including medica-tions and invasive procedures, it mostly boils down to symptomatic treatment, rather than treating or reversing underlying causes.

What is AFib? It is an electrical mal-function that affects the atria, the two upper chambers of the heart, causing them to beat “ir-regularly irregular.” This means there is no set pattern, which affects the rhythm and poten-tially causes a rapid heart rate. The result of this may be insufficient blood

supply throughout the body.Complications that may occur can be

severely debilitating, such as stroke or even death. AFib’s prevalence is expected to more than double by 2030 (1). Risk factors in-clude age (the older we get, the higher the probability), obesity, high blood pressure, premature atrial contractions and diabetes.

AFib is not always symptomatic; how-ever, when it is, symptoms include shortness of breath, chest discomfort, light-headed-ness, fatigue and confusion. This arrhythmia can be diagnosed by electrocardiogram, but more likely with a 24-hour Holter monitor. The difficulty in diagnosing AFib sometimes is that it can be intermittent.

There may be a better way to diagnose AFib. In a recent study, the Zio Patch, worn for 14 days, was more likely to show arrhythmia than a 24-hour Holter monitor (2). The Zio Patch is a waterproof adhesive patch on the chest, worn like a Band-Aid, with one ECG lead. While 50 percent of patients found the Holter monitor to be unobtrusive, almost all patients found the Zio Patch comfortable.

There are two main types of AFib, parox-ysmal and persistent. Paroxysmal is acute, or sudden, and lasts for less than seven days, usually less than 24 hours. It tends to occur with greater frequency over time, but comes and goes. Persistent AFib is when it continues past seven days (3). AFib is a pro-gressive disease, meaning it only gets worse, especially without treatment.

Medications are meant to treat either the rate or rhythm or prevent strokes from occur-ring. Medications that treat rate include beta blockers, like metoprolol, and calcium chan-nel blockers, such as diltiazem (Cardizem). Examples of medications that treat rhythm are amiodarone and sotalol. Then there are anticoagulants that are meant to prevent stroke, such as warfarin and some newer medications, dabigatran (Pradaxa), rivaroxa-ban (Xarelto) and apixaban (Eliquis). The newer anticoagulants are easier to administer but may have higher bleeding risks, in some circumstances with no antidote.

There is also ablation, an invasive pro-cedure that requires threading a catheter

through an artery, usually the femoral ar-tery located in the groin, to reach the heart. In one type of ablation, the inappropriate nodes firing in the walls of the atria are ablated, or destroyed, using radiofrequency. This procedure causes scarring of atrial tissue. When successful, patients may no longer need medication.

Premature atrial contractionsPremature atrial contractions (PACs), ab-

normal extra beats that occur in the atrium, may be a predictor of atrial fibrillation. In a recent study, PACs alone, when compared to the Framingham AF risk algorithm (a conglomeration of risk factors that excludes PACs) resulted in higher risk of AFib (4). When there were more than 32 abnormal beats/hour, there was a significantly greater risk of AFib after 15 years of PACs. When taken together, PACs and the Framingham model were able to predict AFib risk better at 10 years out as well. Also, when the number of PACs doubled overall in pa-tients, there was a 17 percent increased risk of AFib.

The role of obesityThere is good news and

bad news with obesity in regards to AFib. Let’s first talk about the bad news. In stud-ies, those who are obese are at significantly increased risk. In the Framingham Heart Study, the risk of developing AFib was 52 percent greater in men who were obese and 46 percent greater in women who were obese when compared to those of normal weight (5). Obesity is defined as a BMI >30 kg/m2, and normal weight as a BMI <25 kg/m2. There were over 5,000 participants in this study with a follow-up of 13 years. The Danish Diet, Cancer and Health Study reinforces these results by showing that obese men were at a greater than twofold increased risk of developing AFib, and obese women were at a twofold increased risk (6).

Now the good news: Weight loss may help reduce the frequency of AFib episodes. That’s right; weight loss could be a simple treatment for this very dangerous arrhyth-mia. In a recent randomized controlled trial, the gold standard of studies, those in the intervention group lost significantly more weight, 14 kg (32 pounds) versus 3.6 kg (eight pounds), and saw a significant reduction in atrial fibrillation severity score (AFSS) compared to those in the control group (7). There were 150 patients involved in the study.

AFSS includes duration, severity and fre-quency of atrial fibrillation. All three com-ponents in the AFSS were reduced in the intervention group compared to the control group. There was a 692-minute decrease in the time spent in AFib over 12 months in

the intervention arm, whereas there was a 419-minute increase in the time in AFib in the control group. These results are poten-tially very powerful; this is the first study to demonstrate that managing risk factors may actually help manage the disease.

CaffeineAccording to a recent meta-analysis (a

group of six population-based studies) done in China, caffeine does not increase, and may even decrease, the risk of AFib (8). The study did not reach statistical significance. The authors surmised that drinking coffee on a regular basis may be beneficial because caf-

feine has antifibrosis proper-ties. Fibrosis is the occurrence of excess fibrous tissue, in this case, in the atria, which most likely will have deleterious effects. Atrial fibrosis could be a preliminary contributing step to AFib. Since these were population-based studies, only an association can be made with this discovery, rather than a hard and fast link. Still, this is a surprising result.

However, in those who already have AFib, it seems that caffeine may exacerbate the frequency of symp-tomatic occurrences, at least anecdotally. With my patients, when we reduce or discontinue substances that have caffeine, such as coffee, tea and chocolate, the number of episodes of AFib seems to decline. I have also heard similar stories from my colleagues and their patients. So, think twice before run-ning out and getting a cup of quantified coffee if you have AFib. What we really need are randomized controlled

studies done in patients with AFib, compar-ing people who consume caffeine regularly to those who have decreased or discontin-ued the substance.

The bottom line is this: If there were ever a reason needed for obese patients to lose weight, treating atrial fibrillation should be on the top of the list, especially since it is such a dangerous disease with potentially severe complications.

sudoku Puzzle

For the last 25 years, Patricia Wright has traveled back and forth from Stony Brook to Madagascar, studying the island nation’s lemurs. Along the way, she has worn numerous hats.

Within a day of returning recently to Mad-agascar, a country that honored her with three Legion of Honor medals, Wright received a letter from a mayor who made an unusual re-quest. He wrote to her explaining that “You’ve been talking about trash for a long time,” re-lated Wright, who is a distinguished service professor in the Department of Anthropology

at Stony Brook University and the director of the Institute for the Conservation of Tropical Envi-ronments.

He promised to help arrange for its pick up and removal “if you buy us three wheelbarrows.” She wrote back indicating that

she’d purchase two wheelbarrows if he bought the last one.

Living and conducting research in Mada-gascar, other countries around the world or in the United States requires a vast array of skill sets, including negotiation, Wright said.

Indeed, Wright spoke with a scientif-ic colleague she’s known from her work with spiders in Madagascar, Sarah Kariko, recently about a one-day training session Wright’s graduate students could attend at Harvard, so they could learn to work with people with different agendas.

“Having to learn the negotiation fields on your feet is very difficult,” Wright said via Skype from Madagascar. “If you have a skill set you can draw on, you could deal with many of these situations so much easier.”

Kariko, who is a research director at Gossamer Labs and an associate in the De-partment of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, and Gillien Todd, a lecturer on law at Harvard helped lead the training.

The goal of the seminar, Kariko ex-plained, was to teach negotiation skills through role playing, games, lectures, dis-cussion and case studies that participants, which included undergraduates and grad-uate students from Harvard, among oth-ers, could apply to their own life and work.

Wright’s graduate students appreciated the opportunity to hear and consider differ-ent scenarios that might require negotiation.

Katherine Kling recently started her Ph.D. in Wright’s lab. She studies lemurs that live in nontraditional environments in-cluding rice paddies and farms. “Crossover disciplinary training is important,” Kling said. “We’re not just doing science. We need

to consider negotiating techniques.”Kling is developing a conservation ra-

dio program in Madagascar. Every episode will focus on one of the lemur species in the country. To build interest in the stories, she hopes to involve music and musicians and stories from children and researchers.

“Who doesn’t want to listen to the radio?” Kling asked. “We’re hoping to make pro-grams about lemurs, conservation and the environment that are interesting and fun.”

Kling “hopes to inspire people to care and know they can” achieve conservation goals on their own, she suggested.

In her research, Kling hopes to gain a better understanding of why lemurs are moving into these so-called matrix environ-ments. She would like to see how humans altering a landscape affect lemur behavior.

Kling graduated from college in 2013 and took two years off before starting her Ph.D. The anthropologist developed and honed several important skills outside the realm of scientific research, as she worked at Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park in Florida.

Kling described the experience as “awe-some” and explained that she “wanted to learn how people respond to conservation.” She appreciated the chance to work with

children and help them forge a connection with animals at the theme park and car-ried over the skills and approach she used at work into everyday parts of her life.

“We were trained to talk to anyone we saw in the park,” she recalled. She’d go to the grocery store and would “talk to every-one there. You can’t turn yourself off.”

Gena Sbeglia, another Ph.D. student in Wright’s lab who is studying how social be-havioral patterns affect disease transmis-sion, suggested that people often feel ne-gotiation starts with conflicts, which isn’t always the case.“There can be a mutual movement towards a good,” Sbeglia said.

Negotiations are a part of the research and life experience for scientists that ex-tend well beyond the realm of their scien-tific mission.

Sbeglia said she was preparing to do field work in the Tsaranoro Valley and wanted to put identifying colors on ring-tailed lemurs. Any research needs the ap-proval of the local kings. She had already received approval for her work in the for-est, but no researcher had put collars on the lemurs before.

She understood that it would be diffi-cult to get permission because the animals are considered sacred. With her guide as

an intermediary, she explained how she would bring an experienced darting team that included a vet and that she intended to study these lemurs for a year. Other sci-entists would also be able to conduct their own field work if they could track and monitor individual animals.

Sbeglia received permission, although she didn’t put collars on the lemurs be-cause the logistics of the site were inap-propriate for her research.

Wright suggested that discussions in the conservation world can lead to creative solutions. When she was working to estab-lish Ranomafana National Park, Wright hired Professor Beth Middleton, an expert on cattle damage in rainforests, to deter-mine the effect of the cows on the park. Her work showed that for the population of cattle in the park at the time, the nega-tive impact on the forest was minimal. The village elders had kept the cattle there to protect them from cattle rustlers.

“The elders agreed not to put more cat-tle in the park,” which was a satisfying so-lution for the scientists, Wright recounted. “By allowing the cattle to stay inside the forest, it showed that negotiation works both ways, so that both sides can win.”

The Question: My mom has been a recipient of Com-

munity Medicaid. As her con-dition is deteriorating, it is apparent that she will require long-term care in a nursing facility. I have heard that her Community Medicaid will pay for the nursing facility. Is that correct?

The Answer: No, Community Medicaid

will not pay for long-term care in a nursing home. Community Medicaid is the program that covers care at home; such has a personal care aide. Chronic Medicaid is the program that covers nursing home care. The requirements and application process for Community Medic-aid and Chronic Medicaid are very different. An individual is unable to receive both Commu-nity and Chronic Medicaid si-multaneously, so it is important to know the differences and make sure you have the correct Medicaid in effect.

For 2016, an individual applying for Community Medicaid can have no more than $14,850, not including their home, in resources and no more than $845 per month in income. Qualified funds such as IRAs or 401(K)s are exempt, but the ap-plicant is required to take periodic distri-butions that are counted as income each month.

While these limitations may seem daunting, the good news about Commu-nity Medicaid is that there is no look-back period and the individual can opt to use a pooled trust to preserve any excess income

above the $845. That means someone looking to get care at home can transfer as-sets and set up a pooled trust in one month and be eligible for Community Medicaid in the following month.

This is much different than Chronic Medicaid. For 2016, an individual applying for Chronic Medicaid can have no more than $14,850 in resources, in-cluding a home, and no more than $50 per month in income. There is no pooled trust option to protect the excess income.

Like Community Medicaid, qualified funds such as IRAs or 401(K)s are exempt, but the applicant is required to take periodic distributions that are counted as income each month.

Chronic Medicaid has a five-year look-back. The look-back refers to the period of time that the Department of Social Services will review your as-sets and any transfers that you have made. To the extent that the applicant has made trans-fers or has too many assets in their name to qualify, they will

be ineligible for Medicaid. However, there are some exempt trans-

fers that the applicant can make that will not render them ineligible. If transfers were done in order to qualify the individual for Community Medicaid, those same transfers may pose an issue for a Chronic Medicaid application.

Due to the differences in Community and Chronic Medicaid requirements and regulations, it is imperative to consult with an expert.

A new exhibit has opened at the Long Island Museum based on the idea that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” The exhibit, The Brush Is My Pen: Art That Tells Stories, explores the themes of work, satire, drama and hope. Paintings, prints and photographs are represented.

The exhibit spans much of Ameri-can history beginning with a number of paintings from Setauket’s own 19th cen-tury genre artist William Sydney Mount. “The exhibition is pulled primarily from the museum’s collection and helps to show the breadth of art the museum owns,” noted Julie Diamond, director of communications for the museum, adding “Each piece demonstrates how the artist sought to tell a story with a picture, just as a writer would with words.”

“We consider it to be a fine range of figurative and genre works from our collection over the past two centuries,” said Joshua Ruff, director of collections. “People often know our collection for its strengths in landscape painting, but this gives a window into some of our other holdings, with works from William Sid-ney Mount, Frank Myers Boggs, Win-slow Homer, and contemporary artists such as Margery Caggiano, Leo Revi and Joseph Reboli.”

Chronologically, Mount’s paintings are the first. Five are on view includ-ing “School Boys Quarrel.” This paint-ing also raises questions as well as tells a story. Why were the boys fighting? for example. Other Mount paintings include “California News, 1850,” the reaction to the news of gold being discovered, and “Loss and Gain, 1847.”

Edward Lamson Henry was born in South Carolina, moved to New York City and studied painting in Paris, re-turning to the U.S. during the American Civil War. His “Home Again,” painted in 1908, expresses longing for an America that was rapidly fading. Interestingly, this theme could easily express feel-ings in America after World War II or

even now, with the rapid development of technology.

Twentieth century painter Joseph Re-boli’s work is represented by “Fall Pool, 1998.” Reboli was born in Port Jefferson and worked much of his life in Stony Brook. A local artist, he is known for his interpretation of everyday scenes, much in the way that Mount did.

Margery Caggiano, who passed away this past December, noted in her artist’s statement that “I’ve sometimes regretted the lack of a formal art education … But, I like to think that I’ve been primarily influenced by paintings I’ve seen in gal-leries, museums and books rather than a teacher and other students.” Caggiano, with over 300 works in private and pub-lic collections, is represented in the LIM’s exhibit with “Michael as Don Manuel Os-orio de Zuniga,” a 1978 work.

As technology has changed in the world overall, so has it changed in the art world, with photographs playing a larger and larger role in art. Photographer N. Jay Jaffee’s “Coney Island Polar Bears, 1951” is part of the current exhibit.

Other artists on display include, Mort Künstler, Robert Gwathmey, Craig Rob-ins, Luigi Lucioni, Samuel Rothbort and William Moore Davis.

Huntington’s fotofoto gallery’s latest exhibit blossoms with floral beauty

By Rita J. Egan

Spring is here and flowers are bloom-ing all over the island. Yet, whether found in a garden or a vase, the beauty of a flower is fleeting, unless a photographer captures the image of a bloom. Then, not only can its beauty live eternally, but also every nuance can be seen, and the image may even inspire one to see the flower in a new way.

To celebrate the fine art of floral pho-tography, fotofoto gallery in Huntington will present photographer Holly Gordon’s exhibit, FLORAbundance, through May 28. To complement her solo show, Floral Bou-quet, with works from individual gallery artists, will be on display as well.

Gordon said that fotofoto gallery, which was founded almost 15 years ago by a group of Long Island-based photographers, is the oldest fine art photography collective gallery in the area that provides a space for professional contemporary photographers to display their work. Each month a group member has a chance to feature his or her art, and Gordon chose the month of May.

The photographer, who explained her work starts out as photographs but grows into something different in the digital “darkroom,” said May is the perfect time of year for her to display her floral imag-es. Gordon said while a young mother she would plant vegetables and flowers and then take photos of her garden. “A lot of my evolution as an artist has evolved from the garden, and I thought May would be a perfect time to let my gallery space explode with the color and profusion of these wonderful blooms after a cold, gray season,” she said.

Gordon said she uses a 35mm Canon EOS 5D camera with a Tamron 28-300 zoom lens or a Sony RX1 with a fixed lens, and she varies her techniques when photographing subjects. She sometimes shoots with a shallow depth of field so the background blends in, and other times sets her camera out of focus so she can capture a more impressionistic view of what is in front of her. She said every-thing is manual because she feels, “it’s not the camera, it’s the person who is us-ing the camera. I do not want a little box making decisions for me.”

At times, Gordon will take one shot in focus, and then, without moving or chang-ing the focus or depth of field, she’ll keep taking photos. Once she has the photos on her computer, she uses Photoshop to lay-er them over each other and changes the opacity to make it look almost like cello-phane to create an image that is recogniz-able yet at the same time represents her vision. Many times her photographs have been compared to a painting, which is no surprise since Gordon has a background in that art form, too.

“I’m always looking for creating my own vision, because you can set up a zil-lion cameras, and let the camera make all the decisions, and all you do is snap the picture, but I want to have a more personal response and reaction to what it is that I am looking at,” she said.

The photographer said she calls the paired exhibits at fotofoto The Focus Is Flowers, and the name of hers, FLOR-Abundance, is a play on the words floral and abundance. Gordon has 10 of her prints on display, and in Floral Bouquet 10 gallery artists are participating: Pa-tricia Beary, Sandra Carrion, Lawrence Chatterton, Patricia Colombraro, Susan

Dooley, Rosalie Frost, Andrea M. Gordon, Kristin Holcomb, Seth Kalmowitz and Lois Youmans.

Gordon said photographers will each have one piece on display in the group exhibit, and their signature styles inspired the title Floral Bouquet. “Because each artist in the gallery has his and her own unique vision, that’s why it has become a

floral bouquet. That’s what’s so fascinat-ing, and it’s absolutely wonderful, because it just shows so many different approaches to photographing flowers,” she said.

The photographer hopes that visitors to the gallery will look at flowers differently after viewing the exhibit and that serious photographers may even be inspired to share their work with art lovers at fotofoto gallery. “I hope that it expands the way they see. That they look at the world much more sensitively and as a natural work of art, and that it might inspire them to see differently when they use their camera . . . not just to rely on the technology of the camera to snap something, but to be a more active player in choosing what to take and to realize that being an artist is a rare and special gift,” she said.

Gordon said she once read something that Monet said to the effect of “look be-yond the bloom.” “What I took that to mean, and maybe that’s something that I would like people to take away from seeing my work, what he was saying, ‘look beyond the bloom,’ see it for more than the fact that it’s a tulip, or a rhododendron, or a rose or a daisy,” she said. “See it as colors and shapes and patterns, and how those colors and shapes and patterns and textures play with all the other colors and patterns and textures around it. And, that’s how I view the world; I see it as art elements.”

The exhibit is the first of a number of events for Gordon in the next few months. The photographer is scheduled to display her FLORAbundance pieces at the Bay Shore-Brightwaters Library from June 1 through 30 and will also present a slide show based on the artwork at the library on June 13. Another slide show with Gor-don, presented by the Long Island Horti-culture Society, is scheduled for Sunday, June 28, at Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay.

In addition to her solo work, the pho-tographer is currently working with wa-tercolor painter Ward Hooper on the ar-tistic endeavor, The Brush/Lens Project, which compares Long Island landscapes in both a photograph and painting to show how the brush and lens relate. The Long Island MacArthur Airport Gallery will host an exhibit by The Brush/Lens Project with Gordon’s photographs as well as Hooper’s paintings from July 1 through August 12.

Gordon said an artist reception at foto-foto will be held on Saturday, May 7, from 5 to 7 p.m., and the gallery will also be part of Huntington Village’s first Art Walk taking place on Saturday, May 14. “I cer-tainly hope that people will tiptoe through the streets of Huntington and come back to fotofoto gallery because I’m going to be there, too,” she said.

FLORAbundance by Holly Gordon and Floral Bouquet by fotofoto gallery artists will run through May 28. The gallery is located at 14 W. Carver St. in Huntington and admission is free.

Noted Diamond, “The exhibition was chosen as a companion exhibit for the Mort Künstler show. In fact, there is a Künstler piece in the exhibit.” The Kün-stler show, which runs through May 30, features approximately 100 paintings and ephemera of the Oyster Bay artist.

Ruff noted, “We decided to put this exhibition together to pair with the Mort Künstler exhibition, which is largely an illustrative narrative art exhibition. The thought was that an exhibit which looked at story-telling in art from our collection would provide the perfect complement to the larger exhibition.”

The Brush Is My Pen, was curated by Joshua Ruff and Lauren Cesiro (as-sistant director of education) and will be on display through July 30. Two special events related to the exhibit are scheduled.

On May 10 from 10 a.m. to noon the museum will hold its Senior Tuesday program. Seniors 62 and older are in-vited for a free, self-guided tour of The Brush Is My Pen. No reservations are required and groups are welcome. On May 15 from 2 to 3:30 pm, Cesiro will lead a guided tour of the exhibit. The program is free with regular museum admission.

In addition, mothers and grand-mothers are invited to tour the mu-seum for free on Mother’s Day, May 8. Other exhibits on display include, Mort

A Mother’s Day poem by Ernestine Franco

‘A flower and its shadow a life remembered’We each get only one mother.

We each get our own memories of her.

Some are good; some are frustrating.

Some we choose not to remember; some we will never forget.

Some make us cry; some make us laugh.

All together these memories make up the only mother we will ever have.

For those of us who no longer have our mothers.

From left, enjoy clematis, trumpet vines and passionflower vines in your garden but avoid the Oriental varieties of wisteria that, although beautiful, can become invasive.

Vines and climbing plants — Part 2

gardening

By EllEn BarcEl

Last week, we took a look at climbing plants in general and specifically annual vines. This week we’ll examine perennial vines, productive vines and vines to avoid.

Perennial vinesI love perennial plants since they’re a

plant once and enjoy for many years there-after plant. Perennial climbing or vining plants include:

Trumpet vines produce lots of orange colored, trumpet-shaped flowers. It needs little care but can get out of control, so be careful. It’s a vine that does well in some shade. The trumpet shape is a tip-off that it can attract hummingbirds.

Clematis is another vine that does well with some shade. There are several basic varieties, those that bloom in the spring and those that bloom later in the season. Know which one you have since this deter-mines when you are able to prune it back if needed. The rule of thumb to control a plant’s size is to cut it back immediately af-ter a flowering plant blooms, so as not to interfere with next year’s blooming cycle. Clematis are known for their beautiful flowers, making them ideal as decorative plants on a trellis.

Climbing hydrangeas are beautiful plants but can get very large since they grow up as well as sideways. Be prepared to prune it to the desired size and shape. It can take some shade, but the flowers ap-pear where the sun reaches the plant. As a result, you will see lots of greenery closer to the ground and lovely white flowers up near the top. This is an ideal plant for a chimney, for example.

Native wisteria (Wisteria frutescens) is native to the eastern part of the United States. It is much less aggressive and there-fore easier to control than Asian wisterias. It’s a perennial, woody plant in the pea family. Like the Asian variety, it has clus-ters of purple flowers and grows in hardi-ness zones 5 to 9. In addition to being less aggressive, its flower clusters are smaller and the overall size of the plant is smaller.

Productive vines:If you have limited space and want your

vines to do double duty, consider vines that are productive.

Cucumbers are easy to grow and gener-ally very productive. Plant them where their tendrils can grasp onto something, like a chain-link fence, a trellis or wire support of some sort. They do need plenty of water, so don’t let the plants dry out during times of summer drought. Cucumbers are annuals, so you need to replant them each year.

Another productive, and perennial, vine is the grape vine. See my column of March 10 for more detailed information on growing grapes. Make sure you know how you plan to use the grape so you can select the appropri-ate type (table grapes, jellies, wine, etc.)

Indeterminate tomato vines keep grow-ing throughout the growing season. They keep setting fruit as long as the weather is mild enough and can get to be very large plants. Tomatoes need plenty of sun and are heavy feeders, so make sure you fertilize pe-riodically.

Honeyberry is a vine that produces edible fruit as does the passionflower. I particularly like the unusual purple flowers of the pas-sionflower and would grow the plant for its flowers alone.

Vines to avoidThere are a number of climbers that are

not the best to include in your garden. Eng-lish ivy is one. It takes over. Many years ago I planted a few tiny plants. I’m still pulling out this terribly invasive plant. It seems to have a mind of its own. While a “vine-covered cot-tage” may seem charming, you will probably regret planting this one. As a result of its na-ture, English ivy is on the Management List.

Another is the Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus). It volunteered in my garden and, before I realized it, had grown through my stockade fence, breaking it. Once I thought I had removed it, for years later, I found tiny plants springing up where the seeds had dropped. While very pretty, with its red berries that break open to reveal yel-low seed pods, it’s a real pain to control. It climbs by wrapping itself around things, like

your good trees, strangling them. As a result of its extreme invasive nature it’s on Suffolk County’s Do Not Sell list.

A third vine that is difficult to control is the Oriental (Chinese and Japanese) varieties of wisteria. This one is filled with beautiful pur-ple racimes of flowers, so is very impressive, but, it too, takes over the garden. If you insist on planting it, make sure you are ready with the pruning shears, so you can keep it under control. It’s a quick grower, which needs little care and seems to have no natural enemies

(insects or disease wise). It sends out runners along the ground so can go out as well as up. I’ve seen abandoned houses with gardens gone to weed, but the wisteria is still grow-ing beautifully, even attaching itself to power lines. As a result, it too is on Suffolk County’s Management List — technically legal but do you really want to plant it?

Welcome INN volunteers honoredNew exhibit opens at PJ Village Center on third floor

By Melissa Arnold

For more than 25 years, the volun-teers of Welcome INN have gathered week after week to prepare meals for lo-cal people in need.

They’ve never sought out the spot-light for their work — all of them are unassuming folks who just want to lend a helping hand, says the organization’s president Marge Tumilowicz.

But this week, the Port Jefferson Vil-lage Center will unveil a photo exhibit to showcase and honor their commitment to service in the community.

Soup kitchens have been a constant presence in the Port Jefferson area since the 1970s, when members of local re-ligious groups saw countless families struggle during a recession. Over time, these independent groups determined they could do the most good under the umbrella of a larger organization.

In 1989, four area soup kitchens joined the Interfaith Nutrition Network (INN), which feeds and houses people throughout Long Island. Today, Welcome INN serves up to 100 people per meal, five nights a week.

It takes a villageTumilowicz says it truly takes a vil-

lage to pull off a meal that large on a weekly basis, but volunteers are never hard to come by. Over 200 people play a part at the INN’s kitchens, helping with setup, cooking, cleaning and anything in between. They are a well-oiled machine.

“Early in the morning, cars will go to the local supermarket for pickups, then bring them back to the [kitchen] for sorting. Whatever supplemental food is needed gets picked up by the coordina-tor. Then, in the afternoon, the cooks and setup people arrive. By 5:30 [p.m.], our servers are in place and the doors are opened,” Tumilowicz explains.

Guests are given appetizers immedi-ately when they arrive, says Susan Davis, coordinator of Friday night dinners at First Presbyterian Church in Port Jeffer-son. “We want to make sure our guests have something to eat right away be-cause some of them come to us as their only meal for the day and they’re very hungry.”

Then comes a from-scratch soup, fresh salad, a main course with a protein, starch and veggie and dessert. Guests are also sent home with a sandwich or left-overs.

Coordinator Terri Arrigon oversees Monday night meals at Christ Church Episcopal in Port Jefferson. She noted that many of the guests that frequent Wel-come INN are not homeless. Some are un-employed or underemployed, and others are simply looking for camaraderie.

“We want to respect their privacy so we don’t really ask personal questions, but sometimes guests will open up about their situation,” says Arrigon, a volun-

teer for the past three years. “Working with the INN has really opened my eyes to the diversity of communities here on Long Island.”

The value of volunteersAs for the photo exhibit, Tumilowicz

jokes that there’s an unusual backstory: Last fall, Welcome INN was given the Humanitarian of the Year Award by Jef-ferson’s Ferry, a retirement community in South Setauket. With the INN’s vol-unteers scattered all over Long Island, Tumilowicz approached the Port Jeffer-son Village Center about displaying the award there for all to see.

They offered her something even bet-ter — why not display an entire collec-tion of photos from over the years?

Tumilowicz reached out to Welcome INN’s graphic designer Karen Loomis, and the result compiles shots of all four soup kitchens in action along with inspi-rational quotes.

“It’s demanding work — we’re on the go the whole time and many of us do not have young bodies — but we’re there be-cause we want to be there and we love it,” Arrigon says. “I’m delighted that we’re getting this opportunity to recog-nize the value of our volunteers, to show them how much we appreciate them. And it’s a great way to let the community know that we’re out there.”

The Welcome INN exhibit is on dis-play for the rest of this month on the third floor of the Village Center, 101 East Broadway, Port Jefferson.

Despite the team hitting the pipes, senior Matt Schultz tied a career-high for the second straight game with five goals and senior Bro-dy Eastwood added three as the Stony Brook men’s lacrosse team downed the University of Hartford, 16-8, Saturday.

The Seawolves’ senior class, which was honored prior to the game, accounted for 17 of the 25 points.

Senior Challen Rogers, a Tewaaraton Award nominee, tallied three assists.

Stony Brook (12-3, 5-1 America East) locked up the two seed in next week’s Amer-ica East Championship at the University at Albany.

Alec Brown had four goals for Hartford (9-6, 3-3).

“I can’t recall a game where we hit so many pipes,” Stony Brook head coach Jim Nagle said. “I told the guys if we continue our fundamentals and share the ball, we’ll be OK. Just a great all-around effort in the second half.”

Justin Higgins scored off the draw for Hartford to begin the second half, but that was the last goal the Hawks scored for the

next 27-plus minutes. Schultz scored three goals in a nine-goal spurt as the Seawolves went from trailing by one to up by eight with less than five minutes to go in regulation.

Stony Brook was 3-for-4 on man-up op-portunities, and outshot Hartford, 51-21.

Nine different players scored a goal for the Seawolves, including freshman Nick Roros,

The Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team clinched its fourth consecutive America East regular-season championship with a 13-4 vic-tory at the previously undefeated University at Albany Saturday afternoon. With the win — the 12th straight victory for Stony Brook — the Seawolves improve to 14-3 and 6-0 in America East play, while the Great Danes drop to 10-5 and 5-1.

Juniors Courtney Murphy and Dorrien Van Dyke each tallied four goals for Stony Brook. The 12 consecutive wins ties the lon-gest mark in program history, also achieved in 2013 and 2015.

The Seawolves jumped out to a 7-1 lead 12 minutes into the contest and continued to light up the scoreboard with a 6-0 run span-ning both halves, to extend the lead to 13-2 in the final minutes.

Murphy added an assist, to give her 85 goals and 97 points for the season. She now stands five goals shy of Demmianne Cook’s sin-gle-season record of 90, while 13 back of the NCAA record set in 1984. She has scored an average of five goals a game this season, and

her 38 goals in America East games is eight more than any player in conference history.

Junior Alyssa Guido tallied a goal and three assists, while sophomore Samantha DiSalvo notched a pair of goals and an assist. Sopho-more Kylie Ohlmiller had one goal and two assists, and junior Kristin Yevoli added a goal, an assist, five ground balls, two draw controls and two caused turnovers. Freshman Keri Mc-Carthy tallied five draw controls and earned Rookie of the Week honors as a result of her performance. Freshman Anna Tesoriero made five saves, and was named Defensive Player of the Week for the sixth time in 10 weeks.

The Seawolves outshot the Great Danes 23-10 and edged them 10-7 on draw controls.

The team has gone undefeated in America East play for the third time in conference histo-ry (2013, 2015, 2016), and is now 27-2 in the America East under head coach Joe Spallina.

Stony Brook has held 15 of 17 opponents to seven goals or less, and looks to do it again when the team hosts the University of New Hampshire at LaValle Stadium in the America East semifinals May 6 at 5 p.m.

tempts. Junior Jay Lindsay was 13-for-22 at the faceoff ‘X’ with a game-high seven ground balls. He also scored his season-high fourth goal of the season.

“I gave Jay Lindsay the game ball because he was so good today,” Nagle said.

Senior Zach Oliveri recorded his 11th win

of the season in goal.Stony Brook has scored 47 goals in its last

three games combined. The Seawolves enter the postseason as winners of three straight and seven of their last eight games. The team went 5-1 in conference play for a second straight season.

community news

Business of the month: At the April 21 Brookhaven Town Board meet-

ing, Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) present-ed a Certificate of Congratulations to Joe Strazzeri, owner of Middle Country Automotive of Selden and Centereach, in recognition of being named Busi-ness of the Month for April in Council District 3.

The award is given to a business that deserves special recognition for the positive impact that it has on the community.

In 2015, Middle Country Automotive of Selden and Centereach donated three vehicles to St. Margaret’s Church to provide for the less fortunate, and the gen-erosity has continued this year with the donation of an-

other car in 2016. The business also serves as a food point drop off for St. Margaret’s, collecting food and sending it off to the food pantry twice a month. Discounts are extended to veterans as well as members of the church.

“I thank Joe Strazzeri and the staff at Middle Country Automotive for their very generous con-tributions and for lending a helpful hand whenever needed. When it comes to community service, no one deserves credit more that Joe. He’s always there to serve our residents and I am happy to name his company the April Business of the Month,” said Councilman LaValle.

Outside my window I see a golden sun waiting for me to come outside and play.

Outside my window I see a stunning Ferraris and Lambo-rghini racing down the road picking up speed.

Outside my window a humon-gous gummy bear stands wait-ing to be eaten by a young child.

Outside my window I see a fi-ery bright shooting star, which made me want to make a wish.

Outside my window I see a fe-rocious lion waiting to pounce on its prey and eat it.

Outside my window I see Leb-ron James beating Stephen Curry in the basketball game of the century.

Outside my window I see a gi-gantic mansion made of crystal clear diamonds,

Outside my window I see a co-lossal beanstalk waiting to be climbed by a young child,

Outside my window I see miles and miles of pink from the blos-soms of the Japanese cherry blossom trees,

Outside my window I see the “Aurora,” it is the most wonder-ous sight on Earth,

Outside my window I see God’s presence in everything from the stillness of the trees to the busy bumble bees!
