Massacre of Munich ‘72 Olympics: A Survivor’s Story By Karen Jillian

On Sept. 5, 1972, at the Munich, Germany, Summer Olympics, 11 Israeli athletes were massacred by the Palestinian group Black September. Only five Israeli athletes survived. One of them was champion fencer Dan Alon, who will make a special appearance at the Charles B. Wang Center at Stony Brook University on March 19. Alon will expound upon his story and also sign copies of his book, “Munich Memoirs,” which details his firsthand account of the Munich massacre and how this horrific experience affected his life. Alon will also discuss why it took years for him to face the traumatic experience and why it took him 40 years to put his story to pen and paper.

Alon broke his silent struggle regarding the mass murder following the release of Steven Spielberg’s movie, “Munich” in 2005. Since then he has traveled the country recounting his story and giving lectures regarding the bravery of the athletes, how some fought back, how some saved the lives of others and how they were all shocked out of their sleep into a perpetual and tragic nightmare. It is quite fitting that Alon will be lecturing at the Wang Center as the center has its own vision of linking, architecturally and educationally, scholars and researchers from all over the world, much like the Olympics are intent on doing. Charles B. Wang, founder of the Wang Center, a proficient athlete himself said, “… thanks to technology, the world is shrinking every day, and that’s Photos from Facebook

a very good thing for us. As we all get to know one another, as we get to interact with different cultures and different countries, the walls that divide us begin to crumble.” Powerful words from the founder of the place where Alon will give his lecture. Years later, all types of ideas and theories abound and are still being discussed. Alon questions why the Germans left the area so utterly unprotected and how he was able to miraculously escape after one of the PLO members, gun in hand, saw him jump out of his residence, look him straight in the eye for three seconds and not shoot or warn the others. These theories and questions make for provocative discussion one will have after listening to this spellbinding true story that tears at one’s heart. After all, Dan Alon just wanted to participate in the Olympics — [supposedly] peaceful sports games between countries who may politically be at odds but could share friendly, unifying competition. Because of politics, because of hatred, this he could not do. Instead, he said untimely goodbyes to many of his friends and fellow athletes. On Thursday, March 19, from 7 to 9 p.m., come listen to Alon detail his story, including the arrival of the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Village, watching “Fiddler on the Roof” the night before, the hostage taking, international reaction, negotiations, the attempted and failed rescue, the massacre and the outcome. Tickets may be purchased in advance for $20 general admission, $18 seniors before March 17. VIP tickets are available for $90 and include priority seating and a private reception with the speaker. Tickets will be sold at the door for $30. For more information about Alon’s upcoming lecture at the Wang Center or to purchase tickets, please call 631-463-2912 or visit www.ChabadSB.com/Munich72.

Irish Soda Bread

Soda bread gets its name from the fact that you use baking soda (or “bread soda” as it is known in Ireland) as the leavening agent instead of yeast to make the bread rise. The use of baking soda also eliminates time spent kneading the dough. The use of baking soda in baked goods did not exist in Ireland until 1846, when two New York bakers, Arm and Hammer, came to

SHARING THE BEST IDEAS IN MEDICINE WITH YOU

What Is Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) and What Can You Do About It More than 80 million Americans suffer from varicose veins or spider veins. Left untreated, these diseased or abnormal leg veins can get progressively worse and cause other complications. But as Dr. Gasparis explains, treatment options are available.

• Age (over 50)

What is Chronic Venous Disease?

• Prolonged periods of standing or sitting

Chronic venous disease (CVD) occurs when the veins in your legs are not working effectively and it becomes increasingly difficult for blood to pass through the vein walls or valves to flow back to your heart. There are six stages of the disease, from spider veins in the earliest stage to open sores in the most advanced stage.

What Are the Symptoms? In its mildest stage, CVD appears as spider veins, which may look like small red or blue tree branches or spider webs close to the skin surface. Spider veins may then develop into varicose veins, which are enlarged, rope-like blood vessels that are swollen and raised above the surface of the skin. In CVD’s more advanced stages, symptoms such as leg swelling with varicose veins may be present. You may also begin to see skin changes in your legs (usually a darkening of the skin or a rash due to pooling of blood and increased pressure in the veins). Or you may see a sore with a scab, usually on one or both of your inner ankles. In CVD’s most advanced stage, an open ulcer (sore) with oozing fluid may be present. Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is another name for the more advanced stages of CVD.

Are There Risk Factors? While the progression of chronic venous disease does not appear to be affected by one’s gender, or favor one leg over the other, there are several risk factors:

• Family history of varicose veins • History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) • Obesity • Smoking • Pregnancy • Damaged or diseased valves

When Should I Seek Medical Help? Self-help measures such as exercise, elevating the legs or wearing compression stockings may ease the symptoms of varicose veins but usually do not prevent the progression of the disease. If the way your legs look and feel becomes a concern, consider a consultation with a boardcertified vascular surgeon. The sooner you receive a thorough evaluation and are properly diagnosed, the better.

What Treatment Options are Available? Some patients with advanced vein disease may have a combination of superficial and deep vein disease. And only a few vein centers can adequately diagnose and offer comprehensive treatment for the full spectrum of vein disease using the most advanced, least invasive surgical and nonsurgical techniques, including: Endovenous Ablation Therapies. Using laser or radio frequency to treat superficial (saphenous) leg veins, these therapies have replaced traditional vein stripping surgery for the vast majority of patients with severe vein disease in the leg. Varithena®. This non-surgical procedure is even less invasive than endovenous therapies. It requires only an injection of a medication under ultrasound guidance. No anesthesia or sedation is necessary.

OUR EXPERT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS

Antonios P. Gasparis, MD Director, Stony Brook Vein Center

Mini-Phlebectomy. This surgical technique removes varicose veins under local anesthesia using tiny 1 to 2 mm incisions and no stitches. Sclerotherapy. This treatment is for smaller veins (spider veins) that can’t be removed but are treated by injections.

Comsewogue High School students are gearing up for the 28th annual ‘A Night For Jason.’

comsewogue High school presents 28th annual ‘A night for Jason’ to benefit friends of Karen Comsewogue High School, 565 Bicycle Path, Port Jefferson Station, will present its 28th annual “A Night for Jason,” on Friday, March 20, 2015, at 7 p.m. A diverse mix of talents — from pop songs, dance acts, martial arts displays and some good old-fashioned rock-n-roll guitar playing — have graced the stage in the past and this year is no exception.

“A Night for Jason” is a student-run variety show produced in honor of Jason Mariano, a child in the school district who succumbed to leukemia in 1987. The money raised from the event benefits Friends of Karen, a tristate children’s charity with an office in Port Jefferson, that offers emotional, financial and advocacy support for children with life-threatening illnesses and their

families in order to keep them stable, functioning and able to cope. “This is always such a great way to keep our students involved in caring for our community,” said Dana Urbinati, a teacher at the high school and coordinator of the event. “Along with the talents and energy of everyone involved, we want people to know that the funds raised are going to

help some very special families in our communities.” Reserved seating tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the Comsewogue High School Main Office. $10 general admission tickets will be sold at the door on March 20. For more information about Friends of Karen, call 631-473-1768 or visit www.friendsofkaren.org.

IF YOU THInk IT’S TOO LaTe TO CHanGe, reaD THe COmmenTS FrOm mY prOUD paTIenTS beLOW: 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

“My pain has subsided considerably. 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

“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 “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

“…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

Adult eczema — the forgotton disease it’s just not skin deep

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

Eczema is such a common problem in both children and adults that you would think there would be a plethora of research, right? Well, that’s only partly true. While there is a significant amount of research in primarily neonates and some on pediatric patients, there is not a lot of research on adults with eczema. But in my practice, I see a good number of patients who present with, among other disorders, eczema. The prevalence of this disease rivals the prevalence of diabetes. In the United States, more than 10 percent of the adult population is afflicted (1). Twice as many females as males are affected, according to one study (2). Thus, we need more research. Eczema is also more broadly referred to as atopic dermatitis. The cause is unknown, but it is thought that nature and nurture are both at play (3). Eczema is a chronic inflammatory process that involves symptoms of pruritus (itching) pain, rashes and erythema (redness) (4). There are three different severities: mild, moderate and severe. Adults tend to have eczema closer to the moderate-to-severe range. Factors that can trigger eczema flareups include emotional stress, excessive bathing, dry skin, dry environment and detergent exposure (5). Treatments for eczema run the gamut from over-thecounter creams and lotions to prescription steroid creams to systemic (oral) steroids. Some use phototherapy for severe cases, but the research on phototherapy is scant. Antihistamines are sometimes used to treat the itchiness. Also, lifestyle modifications may play an important role, specifically diet. Two separate studies have shown an association between eczema and fracture, which we will investigate further. Let’s look at the evidence. ECZEMA DOESN’T JUST SCRATCH THE SURFACE Eczema causes cracked and irritated skin, but it may also be related to broken bones. In a newly published observational study, results showed that those with eczema had a 44 percent increased risk of injury causing limitation and an even more impressive 67 percent risk of bone fracture and bone or joint injury for those 30

years and older (6). And if you have both fatigue or insomnia and eczema, you are at higher risk for bone or joint injury than having one or the other alone. Antihistamines may cause more fatigue. One reason for increased fracture risk, the researchers postulate, is the use of corticosteroids in treatment. A side effect of steroids is that they may weaken bone, ligaments and tendons and may cause osteoporosis by decreasing bone mineral density. Chronic inflammation may also contribute to the risk of bone loss. There were 34,500 patients involved in the study ranging in age from 18 to 85. Another study corroborates these results that eczema increases the risk for sustained injury (7). There was a 48 percent increased risk of fracture at any location in the body and an even greater 87 percent increased risk of fracture in the hip and spine when compared to those who did not have eczema. Interestingly, researchers’ hypotheses for the causes of increased fracture risk were similar to those of the above study: systemic steroid use and chronic inflammation of the disease. The researchers analyzed the database from NHANES 2005-2006, with almost 5,000 patients involved in this study. When oral steroid was given for at least a month, there was a 44 percent increased risk of osteoporosis. For those who have eczema and have been treated with steroids, it may be wise to have a DEXA scan. ARE SUPPLEMENTS THE ANSWER? The thought of supplements somehow seems more appealing for some than medicine. There are two well-known supplements for helping to reduce inflammation, evening primrose oil and borage oil. Are these supplements a good replacement for medications or at least a beneficial addition? The research is really mixed, leaning toward ineffective. In a recent meta-analysis (involving seven randomized controlled trials, the gold standard of studies), evening primrose oil was no better than placebo in treating eczema (8). The researchers also looked at eight studies of borage oil and found there was no difference from placebo in terms of symptom relief. One positive is that these supplements only had minor side effects. But don’t look to supplements for help. WHERE ARE WE ON THE DRUG FRONT? The FDA has given fast track processing to a biologic monoclonal antibody known as dupilumab (9). In trials, the drug has shown promise for treating moderate to severe eczema when topical steroids are not effective. We will have to wait to see what the verdict is on this drug in development. DO PROBIOTICS HAVE A PLACE? When we think of probiotics, we think of taking a pill. However, there are also

potentially topical probiotics with atopic dermatitis. In preliminary in-vitro (in a test tube) studies, the results look intriguing and show that topical probiotics from the human microbiome (gut) could potentially work as well as steroids (10). This may be part of the road to treatments of the future. However, this is in very early stage of development. WHAT ABOUT LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS? Wouldn’t it be nice if what we ate could make a difference in eczema? Well, in a study involving pregnant women and their offspring, results showed that when these women ate either a diet high in green and yellow vegetables, beta carotene or citrus fruit there was a significant reduction in the risk of the child having eczema of 59 percent, 48 percent and 47 percent, respectively, when comparing highest to lowest consumption quartiles (11). This was a Japanese study involving over 700 motherchild pairings. Elimination diets may also play a role. One study’s results showed when eggs were removed from the diet in those who were allergic, according to IgE testing, eczema improved significantly (12). From an anecdotal perspective, I have seen very good results when treating patients who have eczema with dietary changes. My patient population includes about 15-20 percent of patients who suffer some level of eczema. Recently, a young adult had eczema mostly on the extremities. When I first met the patient, these were angry, excoriated, erythematous and scratched lesions. However, after several months of a vegetable-rich diet, the patient’s skin had all but cleared. I also have a personal interest in eczema.

I suffered from hand eczema, where my hands would become painful and blotchy and then crack and bleed. This all stopped for me when I altered my diet over eight years ago. Eczema exists on a spectrum from annoying to significantly affecting a patient’s quality of life (13). Supplements may not be the solution, at least not borage oil or evening primrose oil. However, there may be promising topical probiotics ahead and medications for the hard to treat. It might be best to avoid long-term systemic steroid use; it could not only impact the skin but also may impact the bone. But don’t wait to treat the disease. Lifestyle modifications appear to be very effective, at least at the anecdotal level. REFERENCES: (1) J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2013;132(5):1132-8. (2) BMC Dermatol. 2013;13(14).

CSHL’s Krainer tackles spinal muscular atrophy Testing childhood disease could become a family affair

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

Emily Krainer can hear the excitement in her father’s voice when she calls. After she gets off the phone, she tells her classmates about his work, which, one day, could influence their lives. Like Emily, they attend Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and, once they graduate, may use his work to help their patients. The younger Krainer has “high hopes” for a promising new treatment her father developed for a potentially fatal disease. Adrian Krainer, a professor and program chair of Cancer and Molecular Biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, has developed a drug for a pediatric neurological condition called spinal muscular atrophy, which is the leading genetic case of death among infants and affects about 1 in 6,000 newborns. The drug, called an antisense oligonucleotide, is in phase III trials, which is the final stage before the Food and Drug Administration considers approving it. SMA is a genetic disorder caused by a defective SMN1 gene. Patients with SMA rely on the SMN2 gene, which can produce normal survival of motor neuron protein but in low quantities because alternative splicing results in a shorter, unstable form of the protein. Splicing is the process where important genetic information, exons, are joined together, while less important genetic parts, introns, are removed. The process starts with an RNA that is a copy of the gene, Krainer explained. For the SMN2 RNA, splicing leaves out the next to last exon. Krainer has found a way to encourage the splicing machinery to in-

clude exon 7 more efficiently. These phase III trials involve two separate groups of patients. The fi rst includes infants with type 1 SMA, which is the most severe version and has an average life expectancy of two years. Working with Isis Pharmaceuticals in California, doctors in these clinical trials will determine if the drug increases survival and reduces the need for ventilation. In the second group, patients who are from two years of age up to 14 with type 2 SMA, which is an intermediate form of the disease, will receive the drug. Doctors will monitor improvements in neuromuscular function, Krainer said. His Ph.D. advisor at Harvard, Tom Maniatis, praised his former student. “This is beautiful and highly original work, which has already shown great promise for SMA therapy,” explained Maniatis, who is now chairman of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at Columbia University Medical Center. While Krainer is awaiting results of these trials, he is making new discoveries that may also affect future treatments. In mouse models of SMA, Krainer has found that injecting the drug under the skin was even more effective than inserting it directly into the spinal chord. Additionally, neutralizing the drug in the central nervous system didn’t prevent its effectiveness. The drug enabled spinal chord motor neurons to continue to function, even when it wasn’t active in that area. “Surprisingly, the effect of the drug given that way is still dramatic,” he said. Krainer cautioned that re-

sults in mice may not display a similar pattern in humans. Still, the mouse data suggest treatment with this drug might be more effective if administered beneath the skin. If this drug becomes an accepted treatment for SMA, the approach of creating a synthetic antisense oligonucleotide could also become an effective weapon against other diseases, such as familial dysautonomi, in which a mutation causes a reduction in the expression of a protein. “It is estimated that 10 to 15 percent of all human disease causing mutations affect RNA splicing, so the tool [Krainer] has developed should have wide applications,” Maniatis suggested. Maniatis has seen fi rsthand how Krainer has “a deep passion for science and a strong work ethic. More importantly, in my view, he has an incisive critical mind, which leads to the development of novel approaches and rigorous science.” In addition to Emily, Krainer has two sons: Andrew, 22, who is in his last semester at CUNY-Baruch College, and Brian, 20, who is a junior at Carnegie-Mellon. When she was young, Emily Krainer said she met children with SMA at conferences. These interactions “shaped my

interest.” Emily said her father is a role model and “hopes whatever I do in the future, I enjoy as much as he enjoys his work.” As for the drug trials, the

younger Krainer said her fellow future doctors want to know how this treatment works. She said her classmates hope he is “going to change the lives of so many patients.”

The parade will continue east along Route 25A ending at the corner of Broadway and Prince Road in Rocky Point. Route 25A will be closed to traffic at noon to prepare for the event. The Friends of St. Patrick recently announced that long-time Sound Beach resident Michael Tatilian of East Wind Caterers has been chosen as the 2015 Grand Marshal and will lead the parade. “Being selected to be Grand Marshal of this parade is nothing short of an incredibly great honor,” said Tatilian. “After all my years in bringing enjoyable and memorable experiences to literally thousands of people during hundreds of diverse events over the years in the hospitality industry, it is going to be quite the day to see tens of thousands of local residents come out, celebrate and shine in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. I am very humbled yet elated in my selection, as it’s a day that I won’t soon forget and really look forward to.” The title of parade queen has been bestowed upon Jaclyn Grennan of Miller Place. She will be accompanied by her ladies-in-waiting, Jaclyn Pearson of Port Jefferson Station and Tara Sanders of Wading River. Get to your viewing spot early along Route 25A as there will be an anticipated crowd of more than 50,000 who will assemble and participate in the largest and second oldest St. Patrick’s Day parade on Long Island.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” which opened at the SCPA in Smithtown last Saturday, is the third of the Sherlock Holmes detective stories. Written in 1902, it is also Doyle’s best known mystery novel and tells the tale of a ghostly mad dog that has haunted a family for hundreds of years. When Sherlock Holmes starts to investigate the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, a series of strange events begin to take place. It was not type casting, yet Mark T. Cahill as Sherlock Holmes gave us a masterful creation of Doyle’s best known supersleuth. Startlingly, Cahill actually bore an uncanny resemblance to William H. Gillette, America’s best characterization of Holmes. Cahill’s imperial, ascetic face (with even a hint of Basil Rathbone) was his best contribution to the role visually. Coupled with his somewhat neutral accent made him the quintessential picture of the most famous resident of 221B Baker Street. But what is Holmes without Dr. Watson? As Holmes puts it, “The sharpness of the proud blade is indebted to the humble whetstone.” The retired MD and companion is played exceedingly accurately by Frank Russo. In your scribe’s opinion Nigel Bruce created the role, but Russo omits Bruce’s harrumphing and comes up with a convincing portrait of Holmes’ “matrix.” In fact, watching the two of them in stichomythic interplay was the essence of the whole show. Another key character, Sir Henry Baskerville, played by Joseph J. Cavagnet, was done with precision, including an American accent. He even tries the friendly Yankee, “Call me Hank.” Nobody takes him up on it. “Ectually,” the English language was uniformly Oxonian throughout. Cavagnet is also the tragic love interest of Tracylynn Conner who plays Beryl, linked mysteriously with Jack Stapleton — the latter handled adeptly by the ubiquitous Jordan Hue. His smooth and understated role deepens the mystery. Is he an eccentric chasing butterflies or is he a schemer intent on acquiring Baskerville Hall? Hue is a highly talented actor capable of great range from A to Z. The retainers, the Barrymores, are done

with reserve inherent in their “clahss” by Leonard G. Delorenzo and Staci RosenbergSimons. Simons also doubled as Holmes’ housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson. In this role she exhibited some habits of observation derived from her long association with Holmes, such as when announcing a visitor to 221B she includes his race, gender, height, weight and clothing. She is a character actress with a promising future at the SCPA. Another doubling was by Michael Newman as Sir Charles Baskerville and Mr. Frankland. The two are opposed heatedly, making the role challenging. Newman handled it swimmingly. Dr. James Mortimer was played by Eugene Dailey. His was a Greek chorus sort of role that carried the audience throughout the Byzantine contortions of the Baskerville clan. Dailey was well suited for the role. It required a lofty, above-it-all approach, and Dailey effected it with impressive skill. Direction was by William B. Kahn. His blocking skills were eminent even in a scene involving that ever-present fog that enveloped the English moors. Interpretation must have been an equal challenge given the clever, smooth Oxonianisms that were a sort of glue to the dialogue, but Kahn unraveled it neatly, bringing forth believable, distinct and individuated characters — especially Holmes. Set design by Timothy Golebiewski was a clever balance between total non-naturalistic and a Merchant-Ivory panorama of details — very effective. Many rollbacks of scenery in blackout were carried out with nanosecond skill. There was just enough of everything to give the impression of Baskerville as well as the moor. Arthur Crocket-Harris in “The Browning Version” makes the remark, “Ars est celare artem” (It is true art to conceal art). Taking the totality of the performance, that little epigram provides the intense audience catharsis in the events at Baskerville Hall. The “Hound”? A little bit more Latin would do it … quod vide!

A drunk, a duck and a trapeze artist — Welcome to the Annual Festival of One-Act Plays at Theatre Three By Stacy Santini

As artistic creative director of Theatre Three, Jeff Sanzel has been known to stretch boundaries, fuse art with vision and elevate Theatre Three to Broadway status. With productions such as “Les Misérables,” “Treasure Island,” “M Butterfly” and “A Christmas Carol,” his direction is noble, seemingly effortless and inspired. Unbeknownst to many, for the past 18 years lurking beneath the grandeur of the Main Stage, there is a second stage downstairs where Sanzel brings to life what has become known as the Festival of One-Act Plays. Each year, under Sanzel’s supervision, six plays are selected from hundreds of submissions to premier on the Ronald F. Peierls Theatre on the Second Stage; situated in the cozy hollows of Griswald’s Café located downstairs in Theatre Three. As founder, Sanzel has created a sanctuary for lesser known talented playwrights to have their work performed. Only unproduced works are accepted, and the submission guidelines are rather unique, providing only 35 minutes for the length of the play in its entirety, but the voice that Sanzel infuses into the pieces is dynamic and makes each individual play more than worthy of stage time regardless of duration. This year the six eclectic plays boldly vacillate between comedy, drama and even tragedy, holding tightly to contemporary and relevant themes. The playwrights along with Sanzel brazenly address issues that are universally problematic but often taboo in daily conversation. Delicately and sometimes not so delicately, the concerns are raised as definitive questions that at some point will certainly desire answers. There is such a richness to the themes presented that only by witnessing the intensity by which the actors spill them out before the audience can one truly appreciate their fundamental value. Themes such as alcoholism, illegal aliens and immigration, sacrificial love, sex vs. intimacy, integrity, the forced betrayal of consciousness, dependency in relationships and even the dangers of performing in a circus are all given equal credence.

“Civilized Affairs” by Carl Williams takes the cliché of married older man dating much younger woman who happens to be his student to a higher platform. “Accident” by George J. Bryjak depicts the moral dilemma an alcoholic and his enabling wife must face while weaving immigration issues into the abysmal plot. In the metaphorical play “Quack” by Patrick Gabridge the audience will undoubtedly engage in empathy when witnessing the forlorn results of the dependent relationship between a duck and its owner. “The Present Illusion” by David Vazdaukas and “Clean Routine” by John C. Davenport and Jaryl Draper offer comedic relief, with the former focusing on famous graphic artist M.C. Escher with an Abbott and Costello flair and the latter holding a meeting of “The Sacred Order of Cleaning Solutions.” Lastly, “Bird” by Sarah Pitard, preciously holds the spot of the 100th play presented at the festival over the 18 years. The complexity of this play is beautifully done, braiding numerous scenes into one another until understanding reveals itself. The ensemble is stellar with all actors hypnotic in their own right. Notable mention are Brian Smith with 29 one-act plays now included in his repertoire and Ellen Michelmore, long-term Theatre Three musical director. Michelmore returns to the stage with a powerful performance as Abigail in “Quack.” The plays also include Steve Ayle, Steve Corbellini, Amanda Geraci, Linda May, MaryEllen Molfetta, James D. Schultz, Joan St. Onge, Regina Schneider and Steve Wagner, all of whom are superb. There is a knowing spirit in Sanzel, a knowing about what works and what doesn’t, what draws an audience in, what kind of theater matters and what will entertain in the profoundest of ways. It is in this realm that this year’s Festival of OneAct Plays breathes, for sure. Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson, will present The Eighteenth Annual Festival of One-Act Plays through April 4. Adult content and language. Parental discretion is advised. All tickets are $18. For more information, call 631-928-9100 or visit www.theatrethree.com.

covEr Story

‘Historic Firehouses — Form and Function’ opens at PJVC Exhibit captures elegance and beauty of Manhattan’s old firehouses

By Ed Blair

In 1731, the colony of New York founded its first fire brigade. It consisted of Engine Company 1 and Engine Company 2, each of which were equipped with hand-drawn pumpers sent across the Atlantic from London. It was eventually decided that the pumpers needed to be officially garaged, and, in 1736, the city’s first firehouse was constructed on Broad Street in front of City Hall. The firehouse was to be manned full time by a select group of “able, discreet and sober men who shall be known as Firemen of the City of New York, to be ready for service by night and by day and be diligent, industrious and vigilant.” Thirty men constituted what ultimately became the FDNY. Today, over 11,000 uniformed fire officers and firefighters are quartered in more than 200 department facilities housing its engine, ladder, rescue, marine and other units throughout the city. Although all are up to date technologically, a number of the firehouses, especially in Manhattan, are contained in buildings originally constructed in the 1800s and early 1900s. “Several Manhattan firehouses are recognized as historical sites and bear plaques indicating that,” said Stony Brook resident Stephen Healy, a former FDNY lieutenant, now retired. Combining an interest in historical firehouses with his avocation as a photographer, Healy explained that he made a decision to “capture the architectural beauty of Manhattan’s finest old firehouses in order to reflect upon a bygone era that exemplified a superior level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.” To this end, Healy has paid homage to the historic buildings, photographing firehouses throughout Manhattan and pre-

senting his photographs in various mediums, including canvas, glass and aluminum. A collection of his work, entitled “Historic Firehouses — Form and Function,” previously on display for eight months at the New York City Fire Museum in SoHo, is currently on exhibit at the Port Jefferson Gallery at the Village Center in Port Jefferson. Sponsored by the Incorporated Village of Port Jefferson, the Recreation Department and the Conservancy, it will be on view through April 5. “There was an ebb and flow as to when the city was willing to spend on building firehouses, and this is reflected in the different architectural styles of the various eras,” Healy explained. While these municipal buildings had to function as working firehouses, Healy pointed out that, architecturally, they were comparable to some of the finest private dwellings in the city. Still, 19th- and early 20thcentury buildings, no matter how fashionable, had to evolve with the firefighting equipment. “You have to remember,” Healy noted, “that many of these firehouses have celebrated their centennials. They were originally designed for horseand-buggy apparatus. They even had hay lofts. They cer-

tainly weren’t made for today’s 75- to 100-foot tower ladders.” Healy likes to focus his lens on some of the unique features of the firehouses. “The cornices, the doors, the individual embellishment by skilled tradesmen that went into the design is fascinating,” he said. “You just don’t see such craftsmanship in municipal buildings today.” While he bemoans the fact that a number of the older firehouses have been replaced, Healy does not consider himself a strict preservationist. “Yes, they are slowly being eliminated and are disappearing, but I enjoy the synergy between the old and the new,” he said. Data accompanying the photographs provides information about each firehouse. Also included are photographs of the Port Jefferson Fire Department, past and present. All photos are for sale, and proceeds are shared with the Conservancy, which supports the Village Center. The public is invited to a reception on Friday, March 13, from 7 to 10 p.m. The Port Jefferson Gallery at the Village Center, 101A East Broadway, Port Jefferson, is open to the public from 9 a.m to 9 p.m. daily. Admission is free. For more information, call 631-802-2160 or visit www.portjeff.com.

Flowering trees By EllEn BarcEl

of these tiny tree flowers because they release pollen, which causes some sneezing, wheezing and red, teary eyes. Pollen season on Long Island starts in spring when the tree flowers are blooming, but if you are very allergic, you may feel the effects before you see flowers on trees because pollen from southern trees can be blown up here if the wind is right.

elax ... We Care For Your Property So You Can Relax and Enjoy!

Trees known for their irritating pollen include elm, oak, birch, hickory, willow and poplar. According to WebMD, the very showy flowered trees are less likely to cause allergic symptoms because their pollen is larger and stickier and therefore less likely to blow in the wind. Now, once the trees have finished blooming, the flowers give way to seeds. One of the worse seed-bearers is the very invasive Norway maple. Yes, it is now on Suffolk County’s banned list, so it shouldn’t be propagated or sold, but that doesn’t change the fact that this fast growing tree, which propagates so easily, is all over Long Island already. Maple seeds are encased in what are known as polynoses (helicopters, whirly birds, etc.). They fall from the tree and are blown by the wind. They germinate easily, very easily. I’ve seen them sprout in lawns, window boxes and even under damp leaves. So, if you have one or more of these prolific trees, gather up all the seeds quickly or your garden will soon be overrun by them. Although the green variety of Norway maple was banned effective Jan. 1, 2013, for the red “Crimson King” and “Royal Red” the ban goes into effect Jan. 1, 2016.

Oak trees, which are native to Long Island, propagate by acorns (oak nuts), the seeds that appear after the flower. While they do germinate, they don’t seem to germinate quite as easily as the maple seeds. Maybe that’s because the local squirrels gobble up so many of them. Maybe it’s because of the tough, leathery outer covering. Different varieties of oak have different size and shape acorns, from tiny to about the size of walnuts. Acorns are edible but, and this is very important, they need to be processed correctly to remove certain chemicals they contain. Some say that acorns have a nutty, slightly sweet taste, but I ate an acorn cookie once and found it dry and not really enjoyable. Maybe it was the recipe the baker used. A great resource on trees is the “National Audubon Society’s Field Guide to North American Trees, Eastern Region.” It’s filled with facts as well as lots of color photos.

Spring will soon be here — thank goodness — and with it the wonderful array of showy flowering trees: dogwood, flowering cherry, ornamental pear and peach trees to name just a few. Later on, the catalpa will be filled with flowers that resemble tiny white and purple orchids giving way to seed pods some call “string beans,” for their resemblance to the edible bean. When gardeners refer to flowering trees, they are talking about the really showy ones above. Interestingly, sometimes these showy flowering trees are sterile, that is, produce no viable seeds, as a result of hybridization so must be propagated vegitatively by grafting. But, all the deciduous trees gardeners routinely plant are flowering plants, that is, botanically they produce seeds as opposed to spores (which ferns produce). You may not easily see the flowers on some trees, like maple and oak, because their flowers are very tiny and frequently green (or red if the leaves are red), so they blend in with the leaves. Unless you really look for them, you may only become aware

‘All I told our guys was to play defense and we’ll get back in this. ... We overcame some obstacles and beat a quality basketball team.’ — STEVE PIKIELL

SBU holds off Vermont, 79-77 Seawolves will face University at Albany for an automatic bid to NCAA Tournament

The Stony Brook men’s basketball team rallied from a 16-point first-half deficit and held off the University of Vermont, 79-77, to advance to the America East Championship game against the University at Albany this Saturday. The Seawolves will play in their second straight America East Championship game and third in the last four years. Stony Brook (23-10), which is on an eight-game winning streak, had four players score in double figures, led by junior forward Jameel Warney, who led all players with 24 points and 14 rebounds. Freshman guard Deshaun Thrower scored a career-high 18 points, shooting 5-for-10 from the field, 3-for-4 from three and 5-for-5 from the line. Thrower had 16 of his 18 in the second half. Junior guard Carson Puriefoy tallied 17 points, including 15 in the second half. Junior forward Rayshaun McGrew

added 12 points. Hector Harold totaled 17 points for Vermont (18-13). Ethan O’Day added 14 points. “Vermont made some great shots in the first half,” Stony Brook head coach Steve Pikiell said. “All I told our guys was to play defense and we’ll get back in this. We’ve been down against Columbia and Washington. We made adjustments on [Hector] Harold in the second half. We overcame some obstacles and beat a quality basketball team.” Stony Brook trailed by double digits for the majority of the first half. A pair of free throws gave Vermont its second 16-point lead of the first half. Two layups from McGrew cut the deficit to 41-29 at halftime. The Catamounts upped their lead to 45-34 with 18:21 left, but Stony Brook made its run, scoring on 12 of the next 13 possessions over a nine-minute stretch, turning the deficit into a 64-53 lead after Thrower’s three with 9:09 to play. “I’m so proud of Deshaun Thrower,” Pikiell said. “In games like these, you need another guy to step up. He was so good for us today. We made the stops we needed to.” Vermont, which never regained the lead, tied the game at 71 on a 3-pointer, but Warney’s jump hook made it 73-71, and McGrew’s tip of Warney’s miss gave Stony Brook a 75-71 lead with 1:26 to play. Stony Brook led 79-77 with three seconds left, and a fall-away jumper was tipped by Warney as the Seawolves held

on for the win. Warney went 11-for-17 from the field. It was his eighth career game with at least 10 field goals, sixth this season and third out of the last four. He also added five blocks and three assists. Warney accounted for his nationleading 22nd double-double of the season. His 541 points this season are a Division I program single-season high. The eight-game winning streak is Stony Brook’s second longest since joining Division I in 1999.

Comeback falls just short in quarterfinal loss The No. 3 Stony Brook women’s basketball team erased a double-digit second-half deficit and evened the score at 45-45 on a putback by sophomore Kori Bayne-Walker with 12 seconds left, but a Taylor McCarley jump shot with four seconds on the clock sent No. 6 University of Maryland, Baltimore County, to a 49-47 win Saturday night in the America East Quarterfinals. Bayne-Walker, a guard, led all scorers with 21 points, including 17 in the second half, for Stony Brook (17-13). Sophomore guard Christa Scognamiglio added 11 points, and senior guard Jessica Ogunnorin tallied 10 points and 10 boards. UMBC play the No. 2 University at Albany in Sunday’s semifinal. “UMBC played a great game,” Stony Brook head coach Caroline McCombs said. “They had a great game plan. They deserved to win tonight.” Playing without two-time first-team all-conference selection Sabre Proctor, who went down with a knee injury with three seconds left in the first half, the Seawolves found themselves in a 45-35 hole after a jumper at 5:45 of the second half. Stony Brook chipped away, scoring seven unanswered points and pulling to within 45-42 on a Bayne-Walker jump shot

with 2:49 left, but followed with a foul on Liz McNaughton as she attempted a triple, and McNaughton went 2-for-3 from the stripe to put UMBC in front by five, 47-42, at the 2:02 mark. However, Scognamiglio answered with a 3-pointer on the other end to cut the deficit to two, 47-45. With the score the same and 12 seconds on the clock, Bayne-Walker cleaned up her own miss and evened the score at 45-45, but McCarley sank a jumper with four seconds left and Bayne-Walker’s heave at the buzzer was off the mark. Each team grabbed 35 rebounds. Scognamiglio and Bayne-Walker recorded six rebounds apiece. Ogunnorin’s double-double was her second of the season. She reached double-figure rebounds for the team-high seventh game. “It was tough to see Sabre go down,” McCombs said of her senior forward. “Jess plays so hard at all times she’s on the court. I’m proud of their efforts throughout the entire season and their leadership on the court.” Bayne-Walker led the Seawolves in scoring for the seventh time this season and in assists for the 25th time. She posted her 19th double-digit scoring effort.

Ohlmiller has seven-point day in 13-6 win Freshman from West Islip, NY, named America East Rookie of the Week after tying freshman record with five assists Powered by two goals and five assists by freshman attack Kylie Ohlmiller, the Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team topped Villanova University, 13-6, Saturday afternoon at LaValle Stadium. Ohlmiller’s five assists tied Alyssa Cardillo for a school freshman single-game record. Cardillo dished five assists Feb. 16, 2011, versus Manhattan College. Senior midfielder Michelle Rubino and sophomore attack Courtney Murphy each netted hat tricks as Stony Brook improved to 3-0 on the season heading into Tuesday night’s showdown with the University of Notre Dame at LaValle Stadium. Sophomore attack and midfielder Dorrien Van Dyke tallied three caused turnovers, five ground balls, two draw controls, one goal and one assist. Senior midfielder and defender Marina Mestres led the game with four caused turnovers. “We took 31 shots, which is a pretty good number,” Stony Brook head coach Joe Spallina said. “I think we need to shoot better. I still don’t think we played what I would expect to be a high-quality 60 minutes, but there are positives to take from this game.” Ohlmiller contributed to four of Stony Brook’s six first-half goals, scoring one and assisting three, to propel the Seawolves to a 6-2 halftime advantage. “Kylie [Ohlmiller] is an elite player,” Spallina said. “There’s nothing to hide there. You can just see it. She can score the ball. ... She makes the others around her better, which is the mark of a true superstar. I think

she got more comfortable as the game went on. She was dodging to feed.” Villanova struck first in the second half on a Hannah Goforth tally at 27:26, but Rubino converted a free position shot with 24:35 on the clock to put the cushion back at four, 7-3. With under 22 minutes on the clock, freshmen midfielder Samantha DiSalvo avoided a Villanova defender and found sophomore attack Alyssa Guido, who dished to Ohlmiller for her second goal of

the day and an 8-3 Stony Brook advantage. Jackie Froccaro got the Wildcats within four with a tally at 19:21, but Rubino controlled the ensuing draw and Van Dyke found a cutting Kristin Yevoli, a sophomore midfielder, on the doorstep for a score at 18:44. Goals by Murphy and senior midfielder Amber Kupres again pushed the lead to eight, 12-4, with 9:29 to play. Eight different Seawolves recorded a point in the game. Kupres scored two

goals, and moved into a tie with Janine Hillier (2012-13) for seventh in program history with 96 career goals. Guido and junior attack Taylor Ranftle each tallied two assists. Senior midfielder Kelly Kuerner stashed away her first goal of the season. The Seawolves outshot Villanova, 31-12. Sophomore midfielder Kaitlyn Leahy stopped five shots and scooped up five ground balls. Stony Brook’s defenders held an 11-10 edge in draw controls. Sophomore Jessica Volpe, junior Alyssa Fleming and DiSalvo shared the team lead of two, with Van Dyke. The Seawolves led in ground balls, 21-13. Ohlmiller recorded three ground balls, and junior defender Maegan Meritz and Kupres finished with two ground balls apiece. Stony Brook was 13-for-14 on clear attempts. Villanova finished 14-for-17. “Our next three games are against three teams that were in the NCAA Tournament last year,” Spallina said after the win. “It’s an opportunity for us to make our mark and improve our RPI. We talk about a lot of things as a program, and I think we have one of those signature games coming up on Tuesday night. We enjoyed this one from the field to the locker room. Our focus now shifts to Notre Dame Tuesday under the lights in our own barn. It’s a huge game on Long Island. It’s exciting.” Results for Tuesday’s battle of nationally ranked teams were not available by press time.

A view from the inside of the Bayles Boat Shop

Boat building tradition still alive in Port Jefferson For more than 100 years Port Jefferson was known for building commercial ships as well as private yachts. The village’s restoration of the harbor front, turning one of the Bayles Shipyard buildings into the Village Center, led to the building of Long Island Seaport and Eco Center’s (LISEC) Bayles Boat Shop at 101A E. Broadway in 2011 with the mission of continuing the boat building tradition of Port Jefferson. While the shop does not build large ships, as a nonprofit enterprise its 30plus volunteers have built or restored 17 small wood boats of varying designs. The funds from these builds provide more

than half the money needed to keep the shop functioning each year. If you have given thought to building a small boat, 16 feet or less, but are lacking knowledge or space to do so, contact LISEC. The Bayles Boat Shop could help you make your boat dream come true. Work that has been accomplished can be seen on LISEC’s Facebook page or its website, lisec.org. Come visit the shop Wednesday and Saturday mornings between 9 a.m. and noon or email lisec101a@gmail.com with a description of your desired boat. Experienced boat builders can help you decide what you want to build and how to go about it.

Artist Spotlight: Leah Harless

Fourteen-year-old Leah Harless is a ninth-grade student at Sachem East High School in Farmingville. She has been drawing since the first grade but has pursued art more seriously since the fourth grade. “I draw in my spare time, usually in the middle of the night,” said Leah. “My drawings don’t have titles but they are all portraits of celebrities I like. I use graphite pencils and prismacolor colored pencils,” she added. Leah would love to pursue some type of career in the art field in the future.

All Aboard the St. James Model Railroad Club Express! By Sue Wahlert

All Aboard!! Time to put on your engineer hats and make your way to the Mills Pond House in St. James for the St. James Model Railroad Club’s open house on Sunday, March 15, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This show is for all ages and is guaranteed to keep visitors mesmerized as they search through miniature scenes while seven O-gauge model trains weave around the tracks. The club members are proud to share their elaborate layout, which represents the progression of railroading from the “age of steam” to present day. Founded in 1983, the St. James Model Railroad Club’s spirit reminds us of a lesson learned from the 1930’s children’s story, “The Little Engine That Could” — that optimism and hard work pay off! Housed in the basement of the Smithtown Arts Council’s Mills Pond House, this small but mighty club has all the enthusiasm it needs to continue the legacy of train hobbyists. Member Tom Lamb says, “Model railroader guys love to brag about what they do!” The display has over nine scenes to view, including Main Street USA, tunneled mountains with a hidden Sasquatch and Levittown. Each scene is proudly designed and maintained by the members.

Peter Dudek, who joined the club two years ago said, “I have a love for trains and have been collecting them since I was a little kid.” As a smoking engine pulling six passenger cars goes by, Dudek exclaims, “Look inside the cars! All of the people on there were individually hand painted!” Details such as that make it worth spending some time viewing each scene and appreciating the hard work that goes into creating each scene. John Tranchese, the “scenery expert,” has designed and built the tunneled mountains with landscaped trees and animals hiding among the hills. There are lights, sounds and steam that resonate throughout the basement of the Mills Pond House as the trains chug around the tracks and through the tunnels. Lamb says, “there’s a lot going on in these scenes. The more you look, the more you see.” Visitors can also expect to see a miniature carnival complete with moving rides, a circus tent full of animals, a spooky town, a crime scene and subways that are below the upper tracks and can be seen through Plexiglas cutouts. Behind all of the movement, steam and noise is a complex wiring system. “There are thousands of wires,” which make the scenes come to life, said

Lamb. He credits Patrick Knetter, a member since 1986 saying, “He is our electronics wiz!” Tranchese is grateful that they are able to use the basement space of the Mills Pond House. “It’s an old house so it adds to the experience when you see it,” he said. “This wouldn’t be possible without the support of the Smithtown Arts Council. Without them we wouldn’t be here,” added Lamb. As an added bonus, the Arts Council will be holding its Granny’s Attic Fun-

draiser and book sale the same day and time as the St. James Model Railroad’s open house. So browse the sale upstairs and then head down to the basement to experience the electrifying St. James Model Railroad Club’s open house. Additionally, a Lionel train will be raffled off. Admission is $2 adults, $.50 children. The Mills Pond House is located at 660 Route 25A in St. James. Parking is in the rear at 199 Mills Pond Road. For more information, please call 631-8626575 or visit www.stacarts.org.
