“Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together.” — Pearl S. Buck

When we think of Mother’s Day, images of multi-colored flowers, greeting cards with heartfelt words and per-haps breakfast in bed come to mind. Platters of cheese, dried fruit and chilled glasses of wine usually are not thought of in the same breath.

Oh by the way, it wasn’t until May 9, 1914, that President Wood-row Wilson is-sued a proclama-tion declaring the first national Mother’s Day.

Now, my idea of a Mother’s Day celebration starts sev-eral days before, shopping for the many delicacies mom will certainly love. On the shopping list should be balsamic vinegar, dried apricots and cherries (or cranberries), unsalted walnuts, green and black seedless grapes, strawberries dipped in chocolate and wines … rosé and Champagne. We also need a bou-quet of multicolored flowers or perhaps several different colored rose bushes for later planting to keep Mother’s Day all summer long.

There is an old saying, “You eat and drink with your eyes” and that’s pre-cisely where we are headed. Regarding cheese, purchase a wedge of an orange-colored New York State cheddar, a wedge of your favorite blue cheese, a wedge of brie (bree) from France and a hunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano from Italy.

Regarding rosé and sparkling wines, here are my recommendations:

2014 Jaboulet Parallèle “45,” Rhône Valley, France. Blend of Grenache, Cin-saut and Syrah grapes; perfumed aroma of a fruit salad, wild berries and candy ap-ples. Light-bodied with a zesty aftertaste.

2014 Hecht & Bannier; Côtes de Provence, France. Blend of Grenache, Cinsaut and Syrah grapes. Fruity bou-quet of cherries, pomegranate and herbs. Clean, crisp tasting and well balanced, with hints of watermelon.

Lovely finish and aftertaste.

Pol Roger Brut Rosé 2006, Cham-pagne, France. Blend of pinot noir and chardonnay. Salm-on colored with a bouquet bursting of raspberries, pome-granate and oranges. Full in the mouth with citrus, wild cherry and spices. The wine is dry, yet a fruity flavor persists to the end.

N.V. Chandon “Brut”; Napa, Cali-fornia. An abun-dance of tiny bub-bles as well as an aroma and flavor of

ripe wheat, toasted bread and a lemon-fresh aftertaste makes this a very enjoy-able wine.

Now, let’s assemble the delicacies: On a large, f lat satin-white platter, carefully plate the cheese so the vari-ous colors and shapes stand out but do not touch. Around the cheeses, ar-range some green and black grapes, walnuts and dried apricots or cherries. Carefully, place two chocolate-dipped strawberries in front of each piece of cheese. Ever so lightly, drizzle about 1/4 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar over the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Before we invite mom to partake, be sure there are napkins, perhaps some espresso and a camera. That’s it … and say hello to mom for me!

Bob Lipinski, a local author, has writ-ten nine books, including “Italian Wine Notes” and “Italian Wine & Cheese Made Simple” (available on Amazon.com). He conducts training seminars on wine & cheese, sales, time management and lead-ership. He can be reached at boblipinski.com or at [email protected].

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

When she’s having trouble under-standing something she’s reading, Anne Churchland will sometimes read the text out loud. Seeing and hearing the words o� en helps.

An associate professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Churchland recent-ly published research in the Journal of Neurophysiology in which she explored how people use di� erent senses when thinking about numbers.

She asked nine participants in her study to determine whether something they saw had a larger or smaller number of � ashes of light, sequences of sounds or both compared to another number.

To see whether her subjects were us-ing just the visual or auditory stimuli, she varied the clarity of the signal, making it harder to decide whether a � ash of light or a sound counted.

The people in her study used a com-bination of the two signals to deter-mine a number compared to a fixed value, rather than relying only on one type of signal. The subjects didn’t just calculate the average of sight and sound clues but took the reliability of that number into account. That sug-gests they thought of the numbers with each stimuli within a range of num-bers, which could be higher or lower depending on other evidence.

Churchland describes this process as the probabilistic method. It would be the equivalent of � nding two sources of information online about Gertrude Ed-erle, the � rst woman to swim across the English Channel. In the � rst one, some-one might have posted a brief entry on his personal Web page, o� ering some potentially interesting information. In the second, a prize-winning biographer might have shared an extensive view of her long life. In a probabilistic strategy, people would weigh the second source more heavily.

Funded by an educational branch of the National Science Foundation, Churchland said this is the kind of study that might help teachers better understand how people’s brains repre-sent numbers.

Young children and people with no formal math training have some ability to estimate numbers, she said. � is kind of study might help educators under-stand how people go from an “innate to the more formalized math.”

This study might have implications

for disorders in which people have unusual sensory processing. “By un-derstanding the underlying neural cir-cuitry” doctors can “hopefully develop more effective treatments,” Church-land said.

Churchland is generally interested in neural circuits and in putting together a combination of reliable and unreliable signals. Working with rodents, she is hoping to see a signature of those sig-nals in neural responses.

Churchland runs a blog in which she shares developments at her lab. Last month, she attended a conference in which she and other neuroscientists had a panel discussion of correlation ver-sus causation in experiments. She cau-tioned that a correlation — the Knicks lose every time a dog tracks mud in the house — doesn’t imply causation.

� e group studied a lighthearted example, viewing the relationship be-tween chocolate consumption and the number of Nobel Prizes in various countries, with Switzerland coming out on top of both categories. “In the choco-late case, correlation does imply causa-tion because I like to eat chocolate and was looking for excuses,” she joked.

Christopher Fetsch, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Neuroscience at Columbia University, worked with Churchland for several months in 2010. In addition to teaching him how to do electrical microstimu-lation and serving as a “terrific role model,” Fetsch described Churchland as “an innovator with a high degree of technical skill and boundless energy.” Fetsch, who attended the same confer-ence last month, lauded Churchland’s ability to bring together experts with a range of strengths.

Churchland created a website, www.Anneslist.net, which is a compilation of women in neuroscience. She said it began for her own purposes, as part of an e� ort to � nd speakers for a computa-tional and systems neuroscience meet-ing. � e majority of professors in com-putational neuroscience are men, she said. “It is important to have a � eld that is open to all,” she said. “� at way, the best scientists [can] come in and do the best work.” � e list has since gone viral and people from all over the world send her emails.

A resident of the housing at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Church-land lives with her husband, Michael Brodesky, and their two children.

losophers. Her mother has appeared on “� e Colbert Report.” She said her family members can all be contentious when discussing matters of the mind.

“� e dinner table is lively,” she said.

Despite living on Main Street in Se-tauket for 28 years, I only had a nod-ding acquaintance with the Setauket Neighborhood House. Then for several weeks last summer I watched as a new porch went up on the house. I thought, “Wow, that construction is a big deal. Keeping up this old house must cost a fortune.” For the first time I wondered who owned the Neighborhood House, and how the resources to maintain the building were generated. Well, this is what I discovered.

Construction of the Setauket Neigh-borhood House began prior to 1720 and the building was located on Setauket Bay. In 1820 Dr. John Elderkin purchased the house and had it moved to its present lo-cation. He added on to both ends of the original house, and it became Ye Old El-derkin Inn. In the 1860s the well-regard-ed inn serviced a stagecoach line.

When Dr. Elderkin died in 1885, the house was passed on to his niece, Julia, and then on to Julia’s niece, Augusta El-derkin and Augusta’s husband, Captain Beverly S. Tyler. The Tylers named their inn The Lakeside House and it operated until 1917.

Eversley Childs purchased the inn in May of 1917, and in the fall of that year the Neighborhood House was dedicated to the community. The Setauket Neigh-

borhood Association was formed to maintain the house and the grounds. In 1979 the association formed a commit-tee to restore and preserve the house.

Membership in the association is one way you can help to maintain this won-derful site. There are four membership categories ranging from $25 to $100.

Another way to support the house is to attend the annual Taste of the Neigh-borhood event on Friday, May 15, from 7 to 10 p.m. Last year’s successful event was able to raise funds to build a new front porch. This year’s benefit is to build a new ballroom floor.

The gala event will feature signature dishes from local restaurants that will be accompanied by beer and wine. Blythe Merrifield will be singing with Bob Boutcher on piano, and her daughter Liz Merrifield will be singing with Pat Mo-relli on guitar. There will be raffle bas-kets and prizes, and Robert Roehrig and Patricia Yantz, both members of the Se-tauket Artists, will be donating a paint-ing for the raffle where all proceeds go to the SNH. Both artists will have many of their paintings for sale during the event and for a week afterward.

Tickets are $30 online at www.se-tauketnh.org or $35 at the door. For more information, call 631-751-6208. Come join us while we celebrate this beautiful building and raise money for a new ballroom!

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

Hypertension (high blood pressure) de-serves a substantial amount of attention. There are currently about 76 million people with high blood pressure in the U.S. Put another way, one in three adults have this disorder (1). If that isn’t scary enough, the newest statistic from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is that the number of people dying from complications of hy-pertension increased by 23 percent from 2000 to 2013 (2). Until these abysmal statis-tics change for the better, pay attention!

And talk about scary, it turns out that fear of the boogie man should take a back seat to high blood pressure during night-time sleeping hours. This is when the prob-ability of complications, such as cardiovas-cular events and mortality, may have their highest incidence.

Unfortunately, as adults, it does not mat-ter what age or what sex you are; we are all at increased risk of complications from high blood pressure, even isolated systolic (top number) blood pressure, which means without having the diastolic (bottom num-ber) elevated as well.

Fortunately, hypertension is highly modifiable in terms of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality (3). At least some of the risk factors are probably familiar to you. These include being signifi-cantly overweight and obese (BMI >27.5 kg/m2), smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, family history, age, increased sodium, de-pression, low vitamin D, diabetes and too much alcohol (4).

Of course, antihypertensive (blood pres-sure) medications treat this disorder. In addition, there are nonpharmacological ap-proaches that have benefits. These include lifestyle modifications with diet, exercise and potentially supplements. There was a question on the game show “Jeopardy” that read: “You can treat it with diet and lifestyle changes as well as drugs: HBP.” The answer was, “What is high blood pressure?” We made the big time!

RISK FACTORS MATTER, BUT NOT EQUALLY:

In a recent study, the results showed that those with poor diets had 2.19 times increased risk of developing high blood

Nocturnal blood pressure can determine cardiovascular risk

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

High blood pressure trumps the boogie maning at least one antihypertensive medica-tion at night may be more effective than taking them all in the morning (9). Those who took one or more blood pressure medications at night saw a two-thirds re-duction in cardiovascular event risk. Now we can potentially see why. These were patients who had chronic kidney disease (CKD). Generally, 85 to 95 percent of those with CKD have hypertension.

DIETARY TIDBITS: Diet plays a role in controlling high

blood pressure. In a recent study, blue-berry powder (22 grams) daily equivalent to one cup of fresh blueberries reduced systolic blood pressure by a respectable 7 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 5 mmHg over 2 months (10). This is not bad, especially since the patients were prehy-pertensive, not hypertensive, at baseline, with a mean systolic blood pressure of 138 mmHg. This is a modest amount of fruit with a significant impact, demonstrating exciting results in a small, preliminary, double-blind, placebo-controlled random-ized trial. Blueberries increase a substance called nitric oxide, which helps blood ves-sels relax, reducing blood pressure.

The results of another study showed that girls who consumed higher levels of potassium-rich foods had a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (11). The highest group

consumed at least 2,400 mg of potassium daily, whereas the lowest group consumed less than 1,800 mg. The girls were 9 and 10 years old and were followed for a 10-year duration. Though the absolute change was not large, the baseline blood pressure was already optimal for both groups, so it is impressive to see a significant change.

In conclusion, nighttime can be scary for high blood pressure and its cardiovascular complications, but lifestyle modifications, such as taking antihypertensive medica-tions at night and making dietary changes, can have a big impact in altering these seri-ous risks.

pressure. This was the greatest contributor to developing this disorder (5). Another risk factor with a significant impact was being at least modestly overweight (BMI >27.5 kg/m2) at 1.87 times increased risk. This surprisingly, albeit slightly, trumped ciga-rette smoking at 1.83 times increased risk. Interestingly, weekly binge drinking at 1.87 times increased risk was equivalent to being overweight. This study was observational and involved 2,763 participants. The moral is that a freewheeling lifestyle can have a detrimental impact on blood pressure and cause at least stage 1 hypertension (systolic between 140 and 159 mmHg and/or dia-stolic between 90 and 99 mmHg).

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DOESN’T DISCRIMINATE:

One of the most feared complications of hypertension is cardiovascular disease because it can result in death. In a recent study, isolated systolic hypertension was shown to increase the risk of cardiovascu-lar disease and death in both young and middle-aged men and women between 18 and 49 years old, compared to those who had optimal blood pressure (6). The effect was greatest in women, with a 55 percent increased risk in cardiovascular disease and 112 percent increased risk in heart dis-ease death. High blood pressure has com-plications associated with it, regardless of onset age. Though this study was obser-vational, which is not the best, it was very large and had a 31-year duration.

NIGHTMARES THAT MAY BE REAL: Measuring blood pressure in the clinic

can be useful. However, in a recent meta-analysis (involving nine studies from Eu-rope, South America and Asia), the results showed that high blood pressure measured at nighttime was potentially a better pre-dictor of myocardial infarctions (heart at-tacks) and strokes, compared to daytime and clinic readings. (7). For every 10 mmHg rise in nighttime systolic blood pressure, there was a corresponding 25 percent in-crease in cardiovascular events. This was a large meta-analysis that utilized studies that were at least one year in duration. Does this mean that nighttime readings are superior in predicting risk? Not necessarily, but the results are interesting. The nighttime read-ings were made using 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements (ABPM).

There is something referred to as masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) that may increase the risk of cardiovascular events in the nighttime. MUCH occurs in those who are well-controlled during clinic readings for blood pressure; however, their nocturnal blood pressure is uncontrolled. In the Spanish Society of Hypertension ABPM Registry, MUCH was most com-monly seen during nocturnal hours (8). Thus, the authors suggest that ABPM may be a better way to monitor those who have higher risk factors for MUCH, such as those whose pressure is borderline in the clinic and those who are smokers, obese or have diabetes.

Treat Mom to Legendary Beauty

Retirement can be an exciting new chapter in someone’s life, but it can also be stressful. The change of lifestyle and in-come source can lead to anxiety for many individuals reaching retirement. There may be a fear that there is not sufficient income to meet monthly needs or suffi-cient resources to last the remainder of his or her life.

The reality is that peo-ple are living longer and require stable income to meet their daily expenses. A person can maximize benefits and income while preserving assets for the next generation provided that the proper planning has been put into place.

One key strategy in planning for retirement in-come is maximizing your benefit under the Social Security system. Social Security income will play a major role in monthly income for many retired seniors and should not be overlooked or ignored. Knowing the appropriate time to start tak-ing the benefit will impact the amount of income a person will receive. “Full retire-ment age” will depend on when the indi-vidual was born. For those born in 1954 or before, the full retirement age is 66 years old. For those born after 1954 but prior to 1960, the full retirement age gradually rises a few months at a time. For example, someone born in 1957 has a full retirement age of 66 years and 6 months. Anyone born in 1960 and later has a full retirement age of 67 years old.

Taking Social Security prior to the “full retirement age” can result in reduction penalties that could potentially cost the individual almost half of what might have been earned if the individual had waited. Once a person reaches “full retirement age,” it may be advantageous to wait a few years longer until 70 years old to begin col-lecting Social Security. Unfortunately, the only way to determine if waiting until age 70 is beneficial would be to know how long you are going to live.

Social Security Administration deter-mines your benefit based on the average

life expectancy. If the person outlives the average life expectancy, then it was a better choice to wait until 70 to begin the benefit. Nevertheless, no one knows how long they will live, but the reality is that people are living longer and it is essential to make sure you have sufficient income to support

your daily needs regard-less of how long you live.

It may be much easier said than done to wait to take Social Security. In a perfect world, everyone could wait until the perfect age to start taking Social Security in order to maxi-mize their benefit. The re-ality may be that income is needed sooner than the ideal age. In this circum-stance, there are several tactics that can be used in order to get income, but preserve your Social Secu-

rity income and allow it to grow until you reach 70 years old.

It is essential to understand that a per-son may be entitled to Social Security benefits based on a spouse, ex-spouse, de-ceased spouse or deceased ex-spouse’s earning record. Once a person reaches “full retirement age,” but has not reached age 70, it may be advantageous to use a restricted application and apply only to claim a spousal (or ex-spousal) benefit and wait until 70 to collect your own benefit. This would enable you to start getting So-cial Security income, but preserve your benefit to allow for the possibility of a higher income. It is important to consult a professional in your area regarding dif-ferent tactics that can be used to maximize your retirement benefits.

Retirement should be the time in your life where you can relax. The stress of not having enough income to meet necessary daily expenses can be avoided with hav-ing the proper plan in place to meet your income needs and give you peace of mind.

Nancy Dorney will spend several hours at Pier A in New York City on May 7 honoring relatives she never met. A retired shop owner from Stony Brook, Dorney will join officials from Great Britain, Ireland, Germany and other countries to pay tribute to those who took a journey that ended abruptly and in many cases tragically exactly 100 years earlier when a German submarine torpedoed and sank the British ship Lu-sitania off the coast of Ireland as it was heading for Liverpool.

Among the 1,198 killed that afternoon were 128 Americans, which included 39-year-old pianist Charles Harwood Knight and his 42-year-old sister Elaine. The Knights were Dorney’s great-great-uncle and aunt and, for a time, were also her grandmother Millicent Lawrence’s guardians. After the sinking, which took 18 minutes, the Knights, who were trav-eling in first class, were never found.

The Knights “disappeared off the face of the Earth because they decided to take the ship that day,” Dorney said.

The sinking of the Lusitania, like the loss of the Titanic three years ear-lier, raised questions about what actions could have prevented the death of so many at sea. It also triggered active dis-cussion about what role the United States could or should play in World War I.

The German government had warned of an aggressive campaign to sink ships around the British Isles that they be-lieved were carrying munitions and re-inforcements for the war. Some thought the Lusitania, which, at 24 knots, was the fastest cruise ship active at the time, could avoid becoming a target. The ship, however, had shut down one of its boil-ers to keep down costs, bringing its top speed to 21 knots, said Michael Poirier, co-author of the book “Into the Danger Zone: Sea Crossings of the First World War.” In the waters where the Germans had been patrolling, the ship was only going 18 knots, said Poirier.

The Lusita-nia “was handi-capped by not speeding through the danger zone,” Poirier said. There are so many “what ifs,” he added.

In the aftermath of the sink-ing, opinions in the United States were sharply divided over the proper course of action. Secretary of State William Jen-nings Bryan, who had run for president three times and was an outspoken mem-ber of the Democratic Party, urged the country to steer clear of involvement.

Bryan thought the sinking didn’t

immediately require farm boys from the middle of the country to risk being “killed for the rights of wealthy Ameri-cans to travel through war zones,” said Michael Barnhart, a distinguished teaching professor in the History De-partment at Stony Brook.

Even if America didn’t enter the war, Bryan didn’t want the

sinking to become “a line in the sand,” where, if

the Germans cross that line in the future, America “paints itself into a corner and has no option but to go to war,” Barn-hart continued.

Teddy Roos-evelt personified the

other side of this argu-ment, urging the United

States to come to the aid of the British. Roosevelt viewed the

sinking of the Lusitania “as an example of barbarism,” Barnhart said. Political cartoonists at the time described the Ger-mans in terms similar to the way people view ISIS now, Barnhart said.

Sensing that the country wasn’t eager to become involved in war, President Woodrow Wilson demanded that “Ger-

mans give the citizens of neutral nations a chance to get away in lifeboats before the ship on which they had been sail-ing was sunk by a German submarine,” explained Richard Striner, a professor of history at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. The Germans told Wilson the British had deck guns on their passenger ships that the Brit-ish could use if the submarines surfaced. Wilson, Striner continued, suggested the British get rid of these guns but, not surprising-ly, the British refused.

Ultimately, however, Wilson did what Bryan feared, indicating that future attacks would bring the country closer to war. In protest of the president’s posturing, Bryan resigned. In 1917, the Germans “realized that turning the U-boats loose would bring the U.S. into the war,” Barn-hart said, but, they resumed their attacks anyway amid a shift in political winds in Germany. The United States joined the war on April 6, 1917.

As for Dorney, she has delved deeper into the lives of distant relatives who were important for her grandmother. Charles Knight, who people called by his middle name Harwood, was an accomplished

pianist and, as Dorney described, a bit of a character. He forgot the organ mu-sic he was supposed to bring to a family funeral and played a somber version of a ragtime song from 1896, called “There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.”

The last anyone heard from the Knights was when they sent a note to Dorney’s grandmother that contained a list of first-class passengers aboard the Lusitania, with names including Alfred

Vanderbilt and Charles Frohman. A theater pro-ducer, Frohman helped develop such stars as Ethel Barrymore and John Drew, relatives of current actress Drew Barrymore.

As the former owner of Pride’s Crossing, a

housewares and furniture store in Stony Brook, Dorney said she has an appre-ciation for what she’s learned about the Lusitania. The woodwork on board was “beautifully made and included interior design and artwork that were magnifi-cently done.”

Dorney and those attending the wreath-laying ceremony in New York will heed the words Poirier said are so often connected with the sinking of the Lusitania: “Lest we forget.”

Fishing fleet adds new boatCaptain Desmond O’Sullivan, the owner of Celtic

Quest Fishing, recently announced the company’s new-est acquisition, the Celtic Grace. After purchasing his first vessel, Celtic Quest I, in 2002, which could only hold 25 people and sailed from Mount Sinai Harbor, O’Sullivan was able to move his business to Port Jefferson where he has gradually replaced smaller vessels with larger Celtic Quest boats, five in all. His largest and most beautiful boat, licensed for 120 passengers, arrives in Port Jefferson this week after months of work in the shipyard.

O’Sullivan and his crew spent the entire winter com-pletely refurbishing the Grace and hope that all the fami-lies and kids who come aboard will truly enjoy the com-fort, cleanliness and sea worthiness of this new boat. The captain says he chose the name “Celtic Grace” because he and his crew have been blessed by the bounty of our local waters, the wonderful support of countless people and the loyalty of their many customers. “Grace is truly the right name given all the great fortune we have been blessed with on this journey,” he said.

To celebrate, an open house party will be held on Sat-urday, May 9, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Port Jefferson Ma-rina. The public is invited to stop by to enjoy a drink, take a tour at the dock of the new boat, and to share a few laughs with the crew. For more information, visit www.celticquestfishing.com.

Docents wantedThe Society for the Preservation of Long Island An-

tiquities (SPLIA) is seeking docents for the Sherwood-Jayne House, circa 1730, located at 55 Old Post Road, E. Setauket. Tour guides are especially needed for the upcoming Sheep Shearing Festival on May 31 and the Long Island Apple Festival on Sept. 20. Other days may be needed as well. No experience is necessary — just en-thusiasm, flexibility and an interest in local history. All the information and training that you would need will be provided. For more information, please call 631-929-3187 or email [email protected].

“I don’t entirely approve of some of the things I have done, or am, or have been. But I’m me. God knows, I’m me.” Iconic actress Elizabeth Taylor’s self-appraisal references a life that ranged from the sen-sation of stardom to the sensationalism of tabloids. She was one of the last superstars of the Hollywood studio tradition, and her life and career, both on and off screen, were a source of entertainment for decades.

Audiences can listen to the legendary actress’s tale as the Ward Melville Heri-tage Organization presents “The Eliza-beth Taylor Story” May 9 through June 17 at its Educational & Cultural Center, 97P Main St., Stony Brook. The popular musical theater and high-tea luncheon series returns to the center with a tribute to the enduring screen idol. The 1963 set-ting for the St. George Productions finds singer Eydie Gorme (played by Rosie Flo-re) headlining a musical comedy spring spectacular, with Taylor (portrayed by Lisa Mondy) as the her guest. Along with her faithful domestic, Rosie (played by Kim Dufrenoy), Gorme will talk with her glamorous visitor and delve into the roller coaster ride that marked both a distin-guished acting career and an often turbu-lent personal life. A light lunch of finger sandwiches will follow the show.

The cast members weighed in with their thoughts about the star of the show. “I think people will walk away with a differ-ent perception of Elizabeth Taylor. As she tells her story, you realize that she herself never took her stardom seriously. She felt fabricated by the movie studios, which staged her look as well as with whom she was seen. She never really wanted all the hoopla and drama that went with being a celebrity,” said Dufrenoy. Added Rosie Flore, “Celebrities and icons are people too. They live, love, laugh and hurt just the way we all do.” Portraying the former movie idol, Monde said, “Elizabeth Tay-lor represented glamour. She represented style; she represented Hollywood stardom. At times her personal life overshadowed her screen accomplishments, but in the end, after eight marriages and numerous life-threatening illnesses, Elizabeth Taylor was a survivor.”

Born in London in 1932 to Ameri-can parents who took their St. Louis art dealership abroad, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor returned with them to the United States at age 7, as the family fled the im-pending war in Europe. The Taylors reset-tled in Los Angeles, where a family friend suggested that the arrestingly attractive Elizabeth be given a screen test at a movie studio. Her radiant good looks and cha-risma captivated the camera lens, and, by the time she was 10, the fledgling actress was appearing in films at Universal, MGM

and 20th Century Fox. After playing sev-eral small parts, she rocketed to stardom, playing opposite Mickey Rooney, in the 1944 hit “National Velvet.” Now a child star with a contract with MGM, young Elizabeth scored another big success for her role in “Little Women” in 1949.

Blossoming into a voluptuous-figured, violet-eyed beauty as she entered her twen-ties, Taylor soon found herself playing op-posite some of Hollywood’s top leading men. She received Academy Award nomi-nations for her roles in “A Place in the Sun” (1951), “Raintree County” (1957), “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” (1958), “Suddenly Last Summer” (1959) and “The Taming of the Shrew” (1967). She garnered two Oscars for her role as a call girl in “BUtterfield 8” (1960) and for her definitive roll as Mar-tha in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” in 1966. She also appeared famously in “Giant” with James Dean (1956) and with Richard Burton in “Cleopatra” in 1963 for which she was paid the then-stunning sum of one million dollars. Taylor became an international star and appeared solo on the cover of People Magazine 14 times.

Taylor was a significant voice in the bat-tle against AIDS, helping to raise funds for research and playing a major role in focus-ing public opinion on the epidemic. For her tireless efforts, she was awarded the Presi-dential Citizens Medal in 2001. “It is bad enough that people are dying of AIDS,” she said, “but no one should die of ignorance.”

Performances of “The Elizabeth Taylor Story” will run from May 9 through July 17 and take place on Wednesdays, Thurs-days, Saturdays and select Fridays at 11:30 a.m. and on Sundays at 12:30 p.m. Advance reservations are required. Tickets are $48 general admission, $45 seniors. For more information or to make a reservation, call 631-689-5888 or visit www.wmho.org.

GIFT BASKETS

By EllEn BarcEl

Most people know that roses need a lot of sun to really thrive and put out lots of gorgeous flowers. Grasses, too, need enough sun to do their best. Hydrangeas need a lot of water — after all the name, hydrangea, literally means “water ves-sel.” On the other hand, cacti need very little water. One of the easiest ways of killing a cactus is by overwatering. Some plants, like blueberries, rhododendron and azaleas need a very acidic soil. But, are there plants that seem to do well ev-erywhere? Actually, yes.

Phlox is an interesting genus of plants. Some are very small and are matlike. Others are tall. Some bloom in spring, some in summer and some in fall. Dif-ferent varieties will grow in almost any environment — a very ubiquitous plant.

Phlox have been popular with home gardeners for over 100 years. The vast majority of phlox are native to North America. Of the over 60 species there are more than 100 varieties. Wow! While some grow in an alpine region others thrive in a prairielike environment.

There are some commonalities. For example, virtually all have flowers with five petals, sort of star shaped, that is. Another is the color of the flowers: white,

pink, blue and purple predominate. They are fragrant, do well in hardiness zones 4 to 8 (although there are some that do well in a colder climate) and prefer a well-drained soil.

Most phlox used in gardens are pe-rennials. They can be divided in spring or fall if the bed becomes overcrowded. There are basically two types avail-able for the home gardener: the spring

blooming creeping phlox, which are stunning in rock gardens and cascad-ing down walls, and the summer flow-ering tall phlox. Generally, phlox prefer full sun, but creeping phlox does well in some shade.

In many of my columns, I’ve noted where plants prefer an acidic, neutral or alkaline soil, but, phlox seem to be one of those plants that do well in almost any

soil pH, as the Old Farmer’s Almanac says (6.0 to 8.0). And yes, they will do well even in soil with a lower pH, particularly the creeping phlox, which can tolerate levels as low as 5.7. This is particularly useful for the home gardener, who can plant phlox in with or near other plants that have very specific requirements.

But there are things to consider when planting them. Phlox can be prone to powdery mildew. Look for varieties that are noted as disease-resistant and plant where there is good air circulation.

I’ve seen contradictory information on whether phlox are deer-resistant. Some sources say yes, some say no. So, you’ll have to see for yourself and consider a deer repellent of some sort if the deer in your area decide yours are very tasty.

Because there are so many different va-rieties of phlox that are adapted to so many different environments, it is particularly important with phlox to read and follow the information provided either in the gardening catalog or on the tag that comes with the plants you select. This way, you’ll be able to get the effect you desire.

THE QUOTE

‘You learn to play well in big games by playing in big games. Our kids are very comfortable

playing on the big stage.’— JOE SPALLINA

SBU women win 3rd straight America East Championship

Th e trio of senior midfi elder Amber Kupres, junior attack Taylor Ranft le and freshman attack Kylie Ohlmiller provided the spark early and oft en as the Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament with an 11-8 win over the University at Albany in the America East Championship game Sunday.

It’s the third straight NCAA Tourna-ment bid for the Seawolves (17-1), who will look to earn a national seed for the fi rst time.

Kupres scored four of her game-high fi ve goals in the fi rst half and fi ve of the fi rst eight for the Seawolves, who have won seven straight aft er suff ering their only loss of the season on April 7.

Ranft le, who fi nished with fi ve points on two goals and three assists, tallied a goal and three assists in the fi rst 25:27. Ohlmiller played the role of facilitator, fi nishing with a game-high fi ve assists, including two in the fi rst half.

Sophomore attack Courtney Murphy re-corded a hat trick.

Dakotah Savitcheff and Sarah Martin had two goals apiece for Albany (14-4).

“You learn to play well in big games by playing in big games,” Stony Brook head coach Joe Spallina said. “Our kids are very comfortable playing on the big stage. We had a great crowd today. It’s a great sign when we can have diff erent players con-tribute in diff erent ways. But this is just the start of things.” Stony Brook dominated time of possession aft er tying the game at 1-1. Kupres scored three straight goals and Ohlmiller added her 41st of the season to

make it 5-1 with 12:38 left in the fi rst half. Th e Seawolves forced seven turnovers in the fi rst half.

Kupres’ fi ft h goal of the aft ernoon made it 8-2 just 1:34 into the second half. Mur-phy’s goal off an assist from Ohlmiller gave Stony Brook a 9-2 lead, its biggest of the game, with 23:56 left in regulation.

Sophomore attack and midfi elder Dor-rien Van Dyke led all players with three draw controls.

Ohlmiller tied an America East Cham-pionship game record with fi ve assists. She set a tournament record with nine assists in two games.

Stony Brook won three straight draw controls in the fi rst half.

Th e Seawolves have won six straight against Albany, including three wins over the Great Danes in the last three America East Championship games.

Stony Brook outshot Albany, 11-2, in the fi rst half.

Murphy has scored at least three goals in seven straight games and 15 contests this season.

Stony Brook is the third team in Amer-ica East history to win three straight titles.

Ranft le, Kupres, Ohlmiller and redshirt junior defender Maegan Meritz were named to the All-Championship Team. Ohlmiller was chosen as the Most Outstanding Player.

Albany’s Maureen Keggins, the America East Off ensive Player of the Year, was held to a goal and two assists.

Murphy and current assistant coach Demmianne Cook ‘13 are the only players in school history to score 70 goals in a season.

Ohlmiller’s 44 assists in a season ranks third all-time in school history. Claire

Peterson ‘13 owns the record with 59 assists in 2012.

Th e 18 wins are the most in school history, besting the 17 wins apiece in 2013 and 2014.

Stony Brook has held its opponents un-der 10 goals in 17 of 18 games this season and 35 of the last 38.

Stony Brook, the No. 6 seed, has earned a fi rst-round bye and will host the winner of the Fairfi eld University and Princeton University game on Sun-day, May 10 at noon.

“Th e only thing guaranteed is our next game in the tournament,” Spallina said. “We’re going to have to earn what we really want.”

Seawolves top Albany, 11-8

Seawolves shine in final day of AE championshipSenior Eric Speakman and freshman

Courtney Warden highlighted the final day of action for the Stony Brook track and field team with a pair of second-place finishes in the America East Outdoor Championships.

Speakman was runner-up in the 1500-meter run, crossing the finish line in 3 minutes, 48.15 seconds to earn the Seawolves eight points. Warden set a new career-best time in the 100 hurdles, finishing in second place with an Eastern College Athletic Conference qualify-ing time of 14.19.

“Overall it was a decent weekend for both teams,” Stony Brook head coach Andy Ronan said. “Saturday’s performances by Chris Hand, Mitchell Kun, Christine Eisenberg and Kaylyn Gordon got us off to a good start. We got most of what we hoped for in the finals on Sunday. Eric, Courtney and Dan Denis gave tremendous efforts in

their respected events to try and snag a title, but all three fell just short.”

In addition to Speakman and Warden, senior Daniel Denis also turned in a stand-out performance in the 5,000 finals. He clocked a time of 14:50.35 to finish in third place and pocket six points for the team.

Senior Matt Granata finished in fourth place in the 800 finals with a time of 1:52.23, senior Lamar Hayes placed fifth in the 200 dash in 22.19 and junior Tyler Frigge turned in a sixth-place performance in the 5,000 in 14:57.93.

The 4 x 800 relay team of Bradley Amazan, Granata, Alex Lopresti and Speakman grabbed second place in an Intercollegiate Association of Ama-teur Athletes of America-qualifying time of 7:41.64.

Sophomore Elizabeth Caldwell earned a fourth-place finish in the 5,000 run in 17:29.13.

Giosia celebrates senior day with eight RBIs

Senior Shayla Giosia saved the most productive day of her collegiate career for senior day, driving in a career-high eight RBIs in the Seawolves 10-2 win over the University of Mary-

land, Baltimore County. Stony Brook finished conference play with a 14-2 record and will host the America East Tournament from May 7-9.

I’m really proud of our team for their effort all season long,” Stony Brook head coach Megan Bryant said. “It was really im-portant that we finished strong today to get the sweep and take momentum into next week’s conference tournament.”

For the second game in a row, Giosia put Stony Brook in front with a first inning home run. Her three-run shot was her 12th of the season, ranking second in the conference. She added a two-run single in the next inning to give Stony Brook a 6-0 lead.

Giosia moved within one RBI of the school’s career RBI record of 161, held by Hayley Durham.

In six games this week, Gio-sia went 13-for-23, with two

home runs and 14 RBI. She was named the America East Player of the Week as a result.

Freshman Chelsea Evans

joined Giosia on the weekly po-dium, earning the first Rookie of the Week title of her career.

Evans reached base in five of the six games, finishing the week with a .636 on-base per-centage. Much of Giosia’s suc-cess was predicated on Evans’ ability to get on base. She fin-ished the week 6-for-14, with eight runs scored.

Stony Brook’s offense belted 11 home runs in the six games this week.

Senior pitcher Allison Cukrov moved to 12-4 on the season with the complete game victory over UMBC. For the week, she went 3-0 with three complete games and a 1.35 ERA.

With 10 runs, the 2015 Sea-wolves broke the school record for runs in a season (251), set by the 2009 team.

The Seawolves are 29-4 com-bined in America East regular season action over the last two seasons.

Seniors Giosia, Cukrov, Bria Green and Lauren Kamachi

were honored before the game. The Seawolves are 144-75-1 since they arrived in 2012.

The Seawolves clinched the America East regular-season championship and will host the conference tournament from May 7-9. They open play today, Thurs-day, at 1 p.m. with a game against the University of Maine.

SBU wins regular-season finale over UMBC, 10–2

‘My Mom Is The Best’ By Amal Sani

My mom is the best mom in the universe because she cooks, cleans, helps me

and takes care of me. It must be so, so, so, so, so, so, so hard to do all those things. I can’t imagine how many things my mom has to do to take care of me, my sister and my baby brother. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t even be here. When I am sad my mom gives me big hugs. Sometimes she gives me hugs for no reason. When I am sick my mom gives me medicine. My mom is the world’s best cook. My mom used to teach cooking. She can make anything taste good. Her coffee cake is the best. It doesn’t even include coffee. I would be crying and sobbing if my mom were not in my life anymore. My mom plays with me when I have nothing to do and that makes me happy. My mom pays so much money for school, field trips and supplies for school. My mom helps me with so many things. Once I did a state report on Hawaii and she helped me with the poster. It was so beautiful! My mom likes to garden so we started a garden. I can’t image what I would do without her. She is the best mom ever!

K I D S T I M E S‘My Mommy’

By Aimee Yang, age 7, East Setauket

You are so special to meAnd I love you

You are as brightas a warm summer’s day

You are as wiseas a smart old owl

You are as energeticas a cheetah sprinting across the plains

You are the one whocorrects me when I make a BIG mistake

You are the one who reads a story to me before bed

You are the one whogives me hugs and kisses before sleeping

You are the one who makes me happy the rest of my life

I love you with all my heart
