Lung Cancer Screening Program ANNUAL LOW-DOSE RADIATION CT SCAN FOR INDIVIDUALS AT HIGH-RISK

Pascal

photo from little shelter

Pascal needs a forever home Pascal is a wonderful, senior Pointer mix who was rescued last year at a local town shelter and is currently living at Little Shelter in Huntington.

Pascal is 12 years old, neutered and up to date on all his shots. He prefers to be the only animal in the house as he wants his new family all to himself.

So, what makes Pascal so special?

That’s easy. Have you ever met someone who is always up, always positive, always seemingly thrilled to see you? Someone with whom, when you haven’t seen him in a long time, it’s as if no time had passed? That’s Pascal.

Our program is consistent with recent recommendations by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

Pascal’s tail is always wagging. He greets everyone who stops by his kennel, and Pascal likes nothing better than to lean in for a snuggle or take a walk with a friend. And when he’s in his kennel, you will always find him with a favorite squeaky toy.

So, if you are thinking about adopting a senior dog, come meet Pascal at Little Shelter, 33 Warner Rd., Huntington from noon to 5 p.m. on weekends and 1 to 7 p.m. on weekdays or call 631-368-8770, ext. 21. Make your home his forever home — you won’t be disappointed!

A persian pesach The North Shore Jewish Center Sisterhood, 385 Old Town Rd., Port Jefferson Station, will present “Hit Me with a Scallion” — a Persian Pesach, tonight, Thursday, March 19, at 7 p.m. Guest speakers will be Roya Mizrahi and Madeline Yousefzadeh. Featuring Persian Passover foods, Persian music, a Judaica art exhibit, raffles, free recipe booklet and wine tasting. The Judaica shop at the center will also be open. $12 adults, $10 members, $8 children under 13. For more information, call 631-928-3737.

Signed, sealed, delivered: Northport Historical Society hosts new exhibit

By Rita J. Egan

Sometimes an item as simple as a letter or autograph can leave a bit of history behind. The Northport Historical Society is demonstrating just that in its newest exhibit titled Signature, Northport.

Terry Reid, consultant to the collections and member of the exhibits committee, said she has encountered many treasures culling through the historical society’s collection throughout the decades. Many of these items have been letters, autographs and signed photographs donated by Northport residents or sent directly to the society in the past. She said for a while now she was trying to figure out how to display them. “Our mission is to share and educate, and I felt like these were things that were never shown before, or haven’t been in years and years,” Reid said.

One letter in the society’s possession that the consultant said she was extremely interested in displaying was a letter from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Northport resident and businessman Charles T. Sammis. In the typed letter signed by Roosevelt, the future president asked the Long Islander to support New York Governor Alfred E. Smith in the 1928 presidential election and asked Sammis to write him with his decision.

Among the letters of historical significance included in the exhibit is also a correspondence between World War II Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Aldrich Sammis of Northport. The Long Island resident was reminding Stimson that the Knutson Shipyard in Huntington would be available during the war. Eventually, several sub chasers were built in the shipyard, according to the consultant.

Heather Johnson, historical society director, said she believes visitors will find the stories behind each piece interesting. Johnson said all of the objects on display show a

the new exhibit features many famous autographs with a connection to northport.

connection to Northport in some way. One of her favorite pieces is a letter from author Herman Wouk to former historical society director Marguerite (Peggy) Mudge for an exhibit in the 1980s. In the letter, Wouk, who wrote a number of books including “The Caine Mutiny” and lived in Northport for a period, shared his recollections of the village. The director said the writer’s memories of the village “personalize the letter, and it makes the connection to Northport very strong.”

Reid and Johnson said the exhibit includes a book that belonged to former Northport resident Edna Olmstead who traveled around the world with Franklin Roosevelt’s second cousin Leila Roosevelt. In the early 1930s, the two set out to travel the globe by motor car, taking it along on ships when traveling the seas. Olmstead documented her trip in a book that includes a diary, logs and autographs from heads of state, Eleanor Roosevelt and many actors including Boris Karloff, well known for his role in horror films. It also includes an original cartoon drawing by James Thurber, a noted cartoonist whose work appeared in “The New Yorker.”

Reid said the historical society also has a number of autographs from entertainers in its collection. Many of the signatures were obtained when the Red Barn Theater was open in Northport in the 1960s, including a playbill autographed by Dody Goodman who played school secretary Blanche in the movie “Grease.” In addition, there are a few signed items from Peggy Wood, the actress who played Mother Abbess in “The Sound of Music.” Reid said Wood, who grew up in Northport, made her first stage appearance at the First Presbyterian Church on Main Street.

The historical society director said visitors should set aside some time when visiting the current exhibit, as it’s a bit more academic than visual ones in the past. “There’s something to be said about every single one. It’s the kind of thing you really need to come in and read and take your time with,” Johnson said.

The Signature, Northport exhibit is on display at the historical society museum located at 215 Main Street, Northport, until the end of May. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 1 to 4:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.northporthistorical.org or call 631-757-9859.

THIS Year DO YOU Want To reverse Disease? Want To Lose Weight?

Feel Concerned You’re Locked Into Your Genes?

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

CKD: A tricky disease Who should be screened?

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

Chronic kidney disease is much more common than you think. Those at highest risk for CKD include patients with diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) and those with first degree relatives who have advanced disease. But those are only the ones at highest risk. This brings me to my first question.

Why is CKD a tricky disease?

Unfortunately, similar to high blood pressure and dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), the disease tends to be asymptomatic, at least initially. Only in the advanced stages do symptoms become distinct, though there can be vague symptoms such as fatigue, malaise and loss of appetite in moderate stages.

What are the stages?

CKD is classified into five stages based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a way to determine kidney function. Stages 1 and 2 are the early stages, while stages 3a and 3b are the moderate stages, and finally stages 4 and 5 are the advanced stages. This demarcation is based on an eGFR of >60 ml/min for early, 30-59 ml/min for moderate and <30 ml/min for advanced. Stage 5 is end-stage kidney disease or failure.

Why is CKD important?

The prevalence of the disease is predicted to grow by leaps and bounds in the next 15 years. Presently, approximately 13 percent of those over age 30 in the U.S. population are affected by CKD. In a new simulation model, it is expected to reach 16.7 percent prevalence in the year 2030.

Currently, those who are ages 30 to 49 have a 54 percent chance of having CKD in their lifetimes; those 50 to 64 years of age, a slightly lower risk of 52 percent; and those 65 years and older, a 42 percent risk (1). Thus, a broad spectrum of people are affected. Another study’s results corroborate these numbers, suggesting almost a 60 percent lifetime risk of at least moderate stage 3a to advanced stage 5 CKD (2).

If these numbers are correct, they are impressive, and the disease needs to be addressed. We need to take precautions to prevent the disease and its progression.

Who should be screened?

According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, screening for CKD may not be warranted in the asymptomatic “healthy” population (3). This means people without chronic diseases. The studies are inconclusive in terms of benefits and harms. In order to qualify as CKD, there has to be a minimum of three months of decreased kidney function. This appears to be a paradox: remember, CKD is asymptomatic generally until the advanced stages. However, there are a number of caveats in the report.

Those who are at highest risk should be screened, including, as I mentioned above, patients with diabetes or hypertension. In an interview on www.Medscape.com entitled “Proteinuria: A Cheaper and Better Cholesterol?” two high-ranking nephrologists suggest that first-degree relatives to advanced CKD patients should also be screened and that those with vague symptoms of fatigue, malaise and/or decreased appetite may also be potential candidates (4). This broadens the asymptomatic population that may benefit from screening.

The fix!

Fortunately, there are several options available, ranging from preventing CKD with specific exercise to slowing the progression with lifestyle changes and medications.

Why exercise?

Here we go again, preaching the benefits of exercise. But what if you don’t really like exercise? It turns out that the results of a study show that walking reduces the risk of death and the need for dialysis by 33 percent and 21 percent respectively (5).

And although some don’t like formal exercise programs, most people agree that walking is enticing.

The most prevalent form of exercise in this study was walking. The results are even more intriguing; they are based on a dose-response curve. In other words, those who walk more often see greater results. So, the participants who walked one-to-two times per week had a significant 17 percent reduction in death and a 19 percent reduction in kidney replacement therapy, whereas those who walked at least seven times per week experienced a more impressive 59 percent reduction in death and a 44 percent reduction in the risk of dialysis. Those who were in between saw a graded response. There were 6,363 participants for an average duration of 1.3 years.

Protein is important! Right?

Yes, protein is important for tissue and muscle health. But when it comes to CKD, more is not necessarily better, and may even be harmful. In a meta-analysis (a group of 10 randomized controlled trials, the gold standard of studies), results showed that the risk of death or treatment with dialysis or kidney transplant was reduced by 32 percent in those who consumed less protein

for patients with chronic kidney disease, walking one-to-two times a week can significantly reduce the risk of death and the need for dialysis.

compared to unrestricted protein (6). This meta-analysis used the Cochrane database to search for studies.

According to the authors, as few as two patients would need to be treated for a year in order to prevent one from either dying or reaching the need for dialysis or transplant. Unfortunately, the specific quantity of protein consumption that is ideal in CKD patients could not be ascertained since the study was a meta-analysis.

Sodium: How much?

The debate roils on: how much do we need to reduce sodium in order to see an effect? Well, the good news is that in a recent study, results showed that a modest sodium reduction in our diet may be sufficient to help prevent proteinuria (protein in the urine) (7). Different guidelines recommend sodium intake ranging from fewer than 1500 mg to 2300 mg daily.

This particular study says that less than 2000 mg is beneficial, something all of us can achieve.

Of course medications have a place

We routinely give certain medications, ACE inhibitors or ARBs, to patients who have diabetes to protect their kidneys.

What about patients who do not have diabetes? ACEs and ARBs are two classes of anti-hypertensives — high blood pressure medications — that work on the RAAS system of the kidneys, responsible for blood pressure and water balance (8). Results of a recent study show that these medications reduced the risk of death significantly in patients with moderate CKD. Most of the patients were considered hypertensive.

However, there was a high discontinuation rate among those taking the medication. If you include the discontinuations and regard them as failures, then all who participated showed a 19 percent reduction in risk of death, which was significant.

However, if you exclude discontinuations,

the results are much more robust with a 63 percent reduction. To get a more realistic picture, the intention-to-treat result (those that include both participants and drop outs) is probably the response that will occur in clinical practice unless the physician is a really good motivator or has very highly motivated patients.

While these two classes of medications, ACE inhibitors and ARBs, are good potential options for protecting the kidneys, they are not the only options. You don’t necessarily have to rely on drug therapies, and there is no downside to lifestyle modifications. Lowering sodium modestly, walking frequently, and lowering your protein consumption may all be viable options, with or without medication, since medication compliance was woeful. Screening for asymptomatic, moderate CKD may lack conclusive studies, but screening should occur in high-risk patients and possibly be on the radar for those with vague symptoms of lethargy as well as aches and pains.

Of course, this is a discussion to have with your physician.

Marty H. Mandelbaum, a certified practitioner of orthotics and prosthetics at M.H. Mandelbaum Orthotic and Prosthetic Services, Inc., 116 Oakland Ave., Port Jefferson, was recently inducted into the 2015 class of Fellows by the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists (the Academy) during the organization’s 41st annual meeting and Scientific Symposium in February.

Mandelbaum is one of just seven people in the nation to receive the distinction this year.

A 26-year member of the Academy, Mandelbaum has served for nearly 10 years as treasurer and webmaster for the Academy’s New York chapter. He lectures during in-service days for physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors, whose work may overlap with O&P practice. He is also active in various support groups and committees. For more information, call 631-473-8668.

Hospital given 5 star rating Guide Dog group top rate The Transitional Care Unit at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital, 75 N. Country Rd., Port Jefferson was ranked among the nation’s best nursing homes

by U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best Nursing Homes rankings.

“I congratulate our TCU staff for the high quality of care that has once again earned them this prestigious distinction,” said Mather Hospital President Kenneth Roberts.

The 16-bed TCU at Mather Hospital is a short-term health care facility where Mather patients receive the focused care they require before being discharged home or to another facility for those requiring extended therapies.

Mather’s TCU, which fosters independence among patients, was one of the first such units in New York state. For more information, call 631-473-1320 or visit www.matherhospital.org.

The Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind, 371 E. Jericho Turnpike, Smithtown has been rated as a “Top-Rated Charity” with an A grade, by the national watchdog CharityWatch (formerly known as American Institute of Philanthropy). Since 1946, the Guide Dog Foundation has provided highly trained guide and service dogs, free of charge, to qualified people who seek the increased freedom, mobility and companionship an assistance dog provides.

“The Guide Dog Foundation is truly honored to be recognized as a ‘Top-Rated Charity’ by CharityWatch,” says Wells Jones, CEO of the Guide Dog Foundation.

“We take very seriously our fiscal responsibility to our donors, supporters and the people we serve, and the Foundation is proud of its positive reputation as a charitable organization.” To learn more, visit www.GuideDog.org or call 631-930-9091.

Planning to hit the road in retirement?

One of the great benefits of retirement is having the time and freedom to pursue interests that didn’t fit into your schedule when you worked 40 or more hours a week. If extensive travel is on your bucket list, you’ll want to account for the cost of it as you’re planning for retirement. Here are five tips to help you prepare to hit the road when you’re ready to retire.

Include travel as a line item in your retirement plan

Determine your travel priorities

Where do you want to go in retirement? If you are married, are you and your spouse interested in the same destinations? Do you hope to join up with tour groups or do you prefer traveling on your own? Start making a list of where you want to go and try to determine what the budget may be to help you make an accurate financial estimate.

Be organized and ready

If you are planning to spend time overseas, make sure you have a current passport ready to go well in advance. If countries you are visiting require a visa for entry, make sure you know what needs to be done to make that happen. If you plan to

Without the funds to pursue travel, you likely won’t get too far. As you plan for your living expenses in retirement, you need to account for the impact that travel costs will have on your budget. Depending on the extent of your travel plans, it could add up to a significant sum. Take a hard look at what you might be spending on an annual basis, and, if necessary, explore some less expensive options to get the most out of travel in retirement.

KNOWLEDGE

Stony Brook’s pathology team lures talent to battle cancer

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

When local teams bring in superstars, the typical sports fan salivates at the prospect of winning a national championship. At the player level, success often breeds success, as other stars and talented players are eager to join teams where they believe in the philosophy of management and the talent of their teammates.

With considerably less fanfare to the typical Suffolk County resident, Stony Brook University has lured some promising researchers from around the country to its growing pathology department. What’s more, the newest members of the team not only have big plans for themselves and their department — they want to help Long Islanders who are battling cancer.

Their research aims to give doctors tools to make a more informed cancer diagnosis, create jobs by developing start-up companies and contribute to the Cancer Center’s goal of receiving a National Cancer Institute designation, which would allow Stony Brook to bid on multimillion dollar grants.

“We are looking for new ways to advance the practice of pathology that will improve the quality of health care nationwide and worldwide,” said Ken Shroyer, the head of the pathology department.

When Shroyer arrived in 2007, he said his first goal was to bring together the talent that was already working at the university. Like siblings who grow apart after they leave home, the clinical research and basic research efforts were working in parallel, rather than together.

After finding common ground for those groups, Shroyer added staff on the clinical side. His next priority, he said, was to boost the research department, which had only one externally funded investigator. That number now stands at 12, with four of the new staff

coming in the last 18 months.

The newest researchers joined the pathology department and became leaders in the Cancer Center. “Each of these four individuals has a national reputation and special expertise in a particular area of cancer research,” Shroyer explained, saying he combed the research landscape to find the right experts in their field.

For their part, the new staff share an enthusiasm for the department and a vision for where it’s heading. An expert in finding biomarkers that help identify patients at risk of cancer recurrence, Patricia Thompson plans to encourage basic scientists to make discoveries that affect patient care.

Geoffrey Girnun, meanwhile, continues to study how cancer’s metabolism works, hoping to find differences between cancer cells and normal cells that can become targets for intervention and therapy.

After two decades searching for therapeutic targets for cancer, Scott Powers shifted gears and is now looking for ways to detect cancer earlier.

John Haley is concentrating on exploring how cancer cells escape detection from the immune system and become metastatic.

The director of the Cancer Center, Yusuf Hannun said the partnership with the pathology department is “key to bridging basic research discoveries to cancer specific research and then to human applications,” which could include biomarker discoveries, new therapeutics and individualized and personalized genomic cancer research.

Hannun believes the Cancer Center will continue to push the envelope in diagnosis, treatment and prevention. “We want to bring more special and unique abilities in the war against cancer,” Hannun said. “The inroads in cancer are happening.”

Stony Brook could become involved in prevention, where doctors and scientists work with patients before they develop any

signs of the disease. “That domain is clearly within the scope of the Cancer Center,” Hannun said. “We are working on novel biomarkers that could detect very early cancer.”

Hannun described Shroyer as his “alter ego” in the Cancer Center. “He is a very capable leader and does very exciting cutting edge research with a steeped history in early diagnostics.”

Shroyer focuses his work on the discovery of biomarkers that can be used to improve diagnostic accuracy, provide prognostic information and identify more effective treatments for cancer, he said.

Five years from now, the success of the effort will be reflected by the extent to which the group can enhance the national standing of Stony Brook Medicine and the Cancer Center as leading institutions in basic and translational cancer research, Shroyer said.

Over the next four weeks, the Times Beacon Record Newspapers will profile each of these four scientists who joined the Department of Pathology and the Cancer Center.

eral key Vanderbilt education programs that serve Long Island schools.”

The Vanderbilt marine collection of 13,190 specimens is housed in the Marine Museum, Habitat and Memorial Wing. Of these, she said, 919 are invertebrates in fluid (displayed in “lots” — from two to many in a single display container); 719 dry fish specimens; 1,746 wet fish specimens in lots and 9,806 dry marine invertebrates (shells and corals). Dry specimens are exhibited on the first floor of the Marine Museum, wet specimens on the second floor.

The two largest marine specimens are a 32-foot whale shark — caught in 1935 and restored in 2008 with a federal Save America’s Treasures grant — and an imposing manta ray, caught in 1916 and restored many years ago, with a 16.5-foot wingspan. William K. Vanderbilt II called it the “Sea Devil.”

Gress said cartilaginous fish, such as sharks and rays, which have spines of cartilage instead of bone, are the most difficult to preserve. Another problem is the age of the collection — many of Vanderbilt’s earliest specimens are nearly 100 years old.

When preservation fluid (ethanol and distilled water) in specimen containers degrades the wax seals, comes in contact with air and evaporates, specimens can decompose, she said.

The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum is located at 180 Little Neck Rd., Centerport.

The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum has received a grant of $135,000 from The Robert D. L. Gardiner Foundation to support the restoration of the museum’s extensive marine collection, the largest privately assembled collection of sea specimens from the pre-atomic era.

William Vanderbilt (1878-1944) created his Marine Museum, which he called The Hall of Fishes, in 1922. He stocked it with marine specimens collected during voyages to the Galapagos Islands and opened it to the public for a few hours a week. He added to the collection after his circumnavigations of the globe in 1928-29 and 1930-31.

Jennifer Attonito, executive director of the foundation, said, “The Vanderbilt Museum is a Long Island gem and a major anchor of local history. We are proud to help preserve this valuable collection to benefit museum visitors and to help raise awareness of Long Island’s heritage.”

The Gardiner Foundation, established in 1987 in Hampton Bays, supports the study of Long Island history, with an emphasis on Suffolk County. The foundation was inspired by Robert David Lion Gardiner’s personal passion for New York history.

Stephanie Gress, the Vanderbilt’s director of curatorial affairs, said, “The Gardiner Foundation grant will help us to restore and preserve many rare specimens in our Marine Museum that have long needed critical attention. Our marine collection is the foundation for sev-

Puppy-proofing your garden

By EllEn BarcEl

My last dog, a golden retriever, loved tomatoes. She’d walk past the plants day after day, week after week, ignoring the green tomatoes, until the tomatoes were nice and red and ripe. I’d be ready to pick one or more for lunch or supper when she’d sidle past, nipping the ripe fruit off the vine and downing it before I could get there. Yes, I needed to find a better way of fencing off the tomato plants.

Having just acquired a puppy, a feisty little one at that, it reminded me that there are many plants in the garden that can be a danger to your pets. He headed right for my rhodies the first time I took him out in the backyard and started to munch. So, always supervise your dog carefully unless you are 110 percent positive he or she won’t start eating your plants, and even then, supervise. Especially for a puppy, fence off a safe area for him or her. To be on the safe side, discourage your puppy from chewing on any plants in the garden. They should only eat what you give them.

While many plants are not lethal, they can cause a nasty stomach upset. Plants that should be avoided in an area where your dog, especially puppy, can get them include: • Azaleas and rhododendron. While these are both exquisite plants with their

wonderful, brilliant spring color, save them for the front of your house or any other area where your dog can’t chew on them.

• English ivy is another to-be-avoided

plant. Yes, it’s toxic, but it’s also highly invasive. Don’t plant it, and rip it out wherever you find it for both of these reasons.

• Flowers such as cyclamen, begonias, carnations and mums should also be avoided as well as bulbs such as daffodils and gladiola.

• While most people know that chocolate is a no-no for dogs, other edibles that you may have in your garden are also bad for dogs. Since you might be growing some of these for your use, take care. They include grapes (and therefore raisins), onions, chives and garlic.

• Be careful with any fungi that pops up in your garden as well. This is important for pets as well as young children. Unless you’re an expert, it’s very hard to tell the safe from the poisonous ones.

• Castor bean is a really unique-looking large plant, but it is toxic to both people and animals. Yes, I have seen it growing in local gardens, but my opinion is to avoid this one totally.

So, what do you do if you absolutely must grow certain plants and you know they are toxic to your puppy? ➢ Fence off a safe section of the yard for the pup until it learns not to eat plants. ➢ Try spraying bitter apple or bitter lime on desirable plants. ➢ Grow toxic plants in areas of the yard where the puppy can’t get to them. ➢ Grow toxic plants in hanging baskets where the pup can’t reach them.

Yes, it can be challenging puppy-proofing your yard, but if you’ve taken on the responsibility of another life, keep it safe.

THE QUOTE

‘We played with good effort and energy today.’

— MEGAN BRYANT

SPORTSWEEK STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

Tomorrow is Friday — wear red on campus!

Albany edges out SBU, 51-50 Juniors Carson Puriefoy and Jameel Warney combined for 43 points, but Peter Hooley’s 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds left lifted the University at Albany men’s basketball team to a 51-50 win over Stony Brook in the America East Championship game.

Warney accounted for his nationleading 23rd double-double and Puriefoy finished with at least 20 points for the seventh time this season.

Junior forward Scott King had four points and sophomore guard Kameron Mitchell added three to round out the scoring for Stony Brook (23-11).

Albany’s Sam Rowley had 14 points, but shot only 6-for-21 from the floor.

Evan Singletary totaled 11. Hooley’s three late in the second half was Albany’s (24-8) only one from behind the arc.

Stony Brook led by as many as eight, 41-33, with six minutes to go in regulation. The Seawolves led 50-48 with under 10 seconds left. Ray Sanders missed a short jumper and the rebound came to Hooley, who made the shot to give Albany its first lead since 16-15.

Warney, a forward, missed his first three shots, but made eight of his final 10. Puriefoy, a guard, made four of Stony Brook’s six 3-pointers.

Although the team squandered its chance for an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament, Stony Brook has reached the America East Championship game four times. This was its second straight appearance in the title game.

“To their credit, Albany made one more play than we did today,” Stony Brook head coach Steve Pikiell said. “I wouldn’t trade this team whatsoever. They’ve been resilient. It’s hard to get back to this game.

A lot of teams in America would love to be in the championship every year. We’ll get together and start preparing for next season Monday.”

Despite the loss, the Seawolves will not be preparing for next season, as the team has accepted an invitation to participate in the College Basketball Invitational, and faced Mercer University Wednesday night in Georgia. Results for the contest were not available by press time.

Powered by six goals and an assist by sophomore attack Courtney Murphy, the Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team beat Jacksonville University, 13-4, Sunday afternoon in its first road game of the season. The win was the second straight over a 2014 NCAA Tournament qualifier for the Seawolves, who took down Notre Dame University, 9-5, Tuesday night.

Senior midfielder Michelle Rubino recorded five points on two goals and three helpers for Stony Brook (5-0).

She has 157 points for her career, moving her into sixth in program history. She is also tied for seventh in program history in career assists with 47.

Sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlyn Leahy stopped five shots and was named America East Defensive Player of the Week by the America East.

Seawolves boost win streak to three games Green went 7-for-8 with two home runs and four RBIs Senior outfielders Bria Green and Shayla Giosia had monster evenings at the plate and senior pitcher Allison Cukrov ran her record to 3-0 in the circle with a pair of wins as Stony Brook (7-8) downed Morgan State University, 15-0, and Mount St. Mary’s University, 3-2, in a pair of neutral site games at Manhattan College.

“We played with good effort and energy today,” Stony Brook head coach Megan Bryant said. “The first game came a bit easier for us, but I liked our fight in the second win. Our defense stayed tough, Jane and Allie threw well, and Bria had a great all-around day for us.”

The game against the Bears (1-10) was all Seawolves from the get-go. Stony Brook pounded out 16 hits, including a season-high four home runs, to roll to

victory. Green went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three runs scored and four RBIs, while Giosia went 3-for-3 with a home run, triple and six RBIs. Senior outfielder Lauren Kamachi added two hits, one of which was a three-run homer, and Cukrov held Morgan State to just one hit and no runs over five innings.

All nine players in the Seawolves lineup had at least one hit.

The nightcap versus Mount St. Mary’s (1-12) was a much closer affair.

The Seawolves took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning on a solo shot from sophomore infielder Lexie Shue.

Mount St. Mary’s grabbed the lead with two runs in the bottom of the inning before Stony Brook tied it in the fifth on an RBI-single from Kamachi.

Mount St. Mary’s had a chance to win it in the bottom of the seventh inning when they put runners on first and second with no outs, but Cukrov replaced starting junior pitcher Jane Sallen and sat the next three hitters down in order.

Freshman infielder Chelsea Evans walked to lead off the first extra inning, moved to second on a sac bunt from Shue, and scored on an error on junior catcher Alexandra Pisciotta’s fly ball to give Stony Brook the lead once more.

Freshman midfielder Samantha DiSalvo scooped up a team-high three ground balls.

Stony Brook has kept 24 of its last 26 opponents to single-digit goals, including all five so far this year. The Seawolves also held the Dolphins to their lowest goal total of the season.

This is the second time in program history the Seawolves have started 5-0. They went 5-0 in 2012, Spallina’s first season.

Kupres has scored a goal in Stony Brook’s first five games and has 98 career goals, making her two shy of becoming the seventh Stony Brook player to score 100 goals.

Ohlmiller has tallied at least two points in each of her first five collegiate games, and was named America East Rookie of the Week as a result. She and Leahy led the Seawolves to a 2-0 week with wins over 2014 NCAA Tournament qualifiers Notre Dame and Jacksonville.

Stony Brook took on the highly-ranked University of Florida Tuesday, but results were not available by press time.

The trio of Green, Giosia and Kamachi went a combined 16-for-22, with four home runs and 14 RBIs. Ten Seawolves recorded hits and Stony Brook hit .422 as a team in the doubleheader. Morgan State and Mount St. Mary’s hit a combined .156.

Stony Brook played a doubleheader at Seton Hall University on Tuesday, but results were not available by press time.

Stepping lively at the library In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, the Doherty Petri School of Irish Dancing, with locations in E. Northport and Franklin Square, gave a free Irish step dancing performance at the Cold Spring Harbor Library last Thursday. Lisa Petri, co-director of the school, introduced the different types of dances including céilí (group), reel (folk), the light and slip jig, contemporary and set pieces (for the advanced student) and shared the history and traditions of Irish step dancing. Tunes included “St. Patrick’s Day,” “Downfall of Paris” and “King of the Fairies.”

The audience was then invited to come on stage for a crash course on how to dance a light jig. A wonderful time was had by all. The talented group is now headed to Montreal, Canada, at the end of the month to participate in the 2015 World Irish Dancing Championships. Let us all wish them “Ár ádh mór ort” (good luck)!

Hop into Theatre Three for a spring treat

A perennial favorite returns

By Heidi Sutton

I always know that spring is right around the corner when Theatre Three presents its adorable annual musical production of “The Adventures of Peter Rabbit.” Written by Jeffrey E. Sanzel and the late Brent Erlanson, suggested by the characters created by Beatrix Potter, this show is a personal favorite of mine and seems to get better every year. Directed

by Tazukie Fearon for the second year in a row and accompanied flawlessly on piano by Steve McCoy, it follows the adventures of Peter Rabbit (played by James D. Schultz) and his cousin Benjamin Bunny (played by Fearon) as they sneak into Mr. McGregor’s garden to steal his vegetables.

Like two peas in a pod, Schultz and Fearon work very well together. They know their target audience well and draw the most laughs. Amanda Geraci plays Mrs. Rabbit and charms the audience with her beautiful rendition of “Morning.” Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-Tail, played by Marquéz Catherine Stewart, Jenna Kavaler and Caitlin Nofi (who has a fondness for Trix cereal), respectively, are a terrific supporting cast.

Dan Brenner and Sue Anne Dennehy return as Mr. and Mrs. McGregor and shine in their duet, “A Friend.”

Of special note is the constant interaction with the audience — asking them what to do next or answering a child when she asks a question. While being chased by Mr. McGregor, the cast runs up and down the aisles, sitting in chairs to hide, much to the delight of the young theatergoers. A nice touch.

The set is minimal, with just a few props including a scarecrow and a basket of vegetables, allowing your imagination to run wild. Listening to the dialogue, one can envision a garden full of carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, string beans and parsley and understand how two little rabbits could find this forbidden bounty irresistible. Utilizing a trap door on the stage as a rabbit hole is very effective.

Masterfully choreographed by Stewart, the musical numbers, arranged by Kevin F. Story, are all showstoppers, especially “One More Time Around” and “Peter’s Socks,” and the audience is treated to an encore performance of all the songs in a finale mega mix.

Sophie Jeong, 4, of Coram, came prepared for the show by wearing a pretty pink shirt with a bunny sewn on it and by bringing her favorite stuffed rabbit along. She sang along to all the songs,

Above, the entire cast of ‘the Adventures of Peter Rabbit’ at theatre three.

and, when asked who her favorite character was, she replied without hesitation — “Peter Rabbit.” Her favorite scene?

“When the bunnies were eating their lunch [of blackberries, milk and toast].”

Don’t forget to take a picture with the cast in the lobby after the show.

Bunny stuffed animals will be sold before the show and during intermission, and booster seats are available. Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson, will present “The Adventures of Peter Rabbit” through April 11, perfect for spring break. Up next is “The Littlest Pirate” followed by “Puss-in-Boots” and “Jack and the Beanstalk.” Tickets are only $10 each. For more information, call 631-928-9100 or visit www. theatrethree.com.

By Timothy, 4th grade Edna Louise Spear Elementary School, Port Jefferson Say hello to the winter blizzard caused by the Winter Wizard Icicles are growing into big sharp swords Bicycles are not to be seen anywhere around A blanket of snow covers the land The wind howls like a marching band If you go outside you are sure to get a frostbitten hand The scent of hot cocoa fills the land Winter here not there Here is the great winter blizzard Thank you Winter Wizard.

Icy Scenes

By Morgan, 4th grade Edna Louise Spear Elementary School, Port Jefferson The icy tree tops glisten like sparkling diamonds the wind is calm but a light snow glides down A simple scene with trees of white a blanket of snow had drifted onto the soft earth The cold icicles dipped from rooftops like claws on a lion as a cold breeze starts taking over When it stops, it reveals the same icy scene

Once Upon a Winter Night

By Ruby, 4th grade Edna Louise Spear Elementary School, Port Jefferson

One cold glistening winter night A stampede of snow was knocking at my door.

When I opened the door Big globs of snow fell right in my house.

I opened my door again But this time I see Columbus back from his adventures.

He says, “Hi, I am Columbus.”

“Who ?” I say.

I am in complete shock!

I was frozen like a Popsicle I had enough for one night.

And that is the riddle I will Tell you today.
