Health & Wellness FEST-New Adventures
Caley the miniature certified therapy horse. He is often a visitor at the Water’s Edge at Port Jefferson for Rehabilitation & Nursing facility.
Wanting to create a more ‘festive’ atmosphere for Health & Wellness this year, our committee decided to have more engaging activities! Let’s start with our new vendor ‘Pet Partners’. Please make sure you see Caley the miniature certified therapy horse. He is often a visitor at the Water’s Edge at Port Jefferson for Rehabilitation & Nursing facility, visiting residents and staff. His unusual gentle manner brings joy to all and his sidekick is a Labradoodle named Daisy. Health and wellness has many aspects that the Fest will be featuring this year. There will be entertainment with a demonstration of ballroom dancing by Arthur Murray School of Dance. Port Jefferson High School music students will be performing and there will be a new demo area to learn about fitness exercises, yoga and essence of oil therapy. Two authors will be present sharing their knowledge of good healthy living practices and their book signings. Suffolk County Police will have a much stronger presence with officers from COPE, Marine Bureau, K9, and table displays about programs for crime prevention, identi-kit, medicine cabinet, and drug kits. If you are really feeling fit join in with the 2K fun race starting at 8:00 am and finishing up at the Fest by 9:00 am. All of these new additions will have attendees more engaged as they learn about healthy lifestyles. So come down and join in with all the fun!

HEALTH AND WELLNESS FEST 2016
New Theme, New Energy This year the Health & Wellness Fest has a new emphasis, ‘Eat Well, Live Well’. We can all agree that eating well helps us to live well. Proper nutrition and having a balanced diet adds to our quality of lifestyle. Keeping this in mind one of our sponsor partners, St. Charles Hospital is creating a miniature food court that will feature free healthy meals to the attendees. Participants will be able to make a ’shaker-salad’, make their own fruit smoothie or save their appetite for a low sugar fruit dessert. St. Charles Chef, dietitians, nutritionists and staff will be on hand to answer questions about healthy eating and diet. Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace will have a table marketing their
healthy food lines, and outside Fairway Market will have a display of organic fruits and vegetables available for sale. There will be healthy snacks offered by many of our vendors including Amazing Olive with organic oils and specialty vinegars. Phountain Health of Port Jefferson will have a table set-up in the lobby giving away the very best drinking water available today ... Alkaline, which is healthy, tasty, and hydrating. In our new demo area there will be 2 presentation times about the importance and preservation of heirloom seeds given by horticulturist Stephanie Costanzo. Learn about growing heirloom plants and how they benefit your healthy life style.

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

Why do we care about the word Inflammation?
c-reactive protein levels identify disease risk
By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.
Many of us have inflammation in our bodies, inflammation that is a potential underlying cause for a great number of diseases. Can we demonstrate the level of inflammation by measuring it? The answer is yes, otherwise I would not be writing this article. One of the most widely studied biomarkers for inflammation is high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), also referred to as CRP. High sensitivity means that we can measure levels as low as 0.3 mg/L more accurately. What is the significance of the different levels? In heart disease, individuals who have levels less than 1.0 mg/L are in the optimal range for low risk of inflammation. Levels of 1-3 mg/L is the average risk range and greater than 3.0 mg/L is the higher risk profile. Above 10.0 mg/L is less specific to heart disease, although still related, but more likely associated with other causes, such as infection and autoimmune diseases (1, 2). This biomarker is derived from the liver. CRP is not specific to heart disease, nor is it definitive for risk of the disease. However, the upside is that it may be helpful with risk stratification, which helps us understand where we sit on a heart disease risk spectrum and with progression in other diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, depression and autoimmune diseases. Let’s look at the evidence.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
AMD is the leading cause of blindness in patients over the age of 65 (3). Therefore, it is very important to help define risk stratification for this disease. In a prospective study, the results showed that hsCRP levels were inversely associated with the risk of developing AMD. The group with an hsCRP more than 3.0 mg/L had a 50 percent increased risk of developing over-
all AMD compared to the optimal group with less than 1.0 mg/L. But even more interestingly, the risk of developing neovascular, or wet, AMD increased to 89 percent in this high-risk group. The significance of wet AMD is that it is one type of advanced-stage AMD that results in blindness. This study involved five studies where the researchers thawed baseline blood samples from middle-aged participants who had hsCRP levels measured. There were more than 2,000 participants with a follow-up as long as 20 years. According to the study’s authors, annual eye exams and lifestyle modifications, including supplements, may be able to stem this risk by reducing hsCRP. These results reinforce those of a previous prospective study that showed that elevated hsCRP increased the risk of AMD threefold (4). This study utilized data from the Women’s Health Study, which involved over 27,000 participants. Like the study mentioned above, this one also defrosted blood samples from baseline and looked at follow-up incidence of developing AMD in initially healthy women. The highest group had hsCRP levels over 5.2 mg/L. Additionally, when analyzing similar cutoffs for high- and low-level hsCRP, as the above trial used, those with hsCRP over 3.0 had an 82 percent increased risk of AMD compared to those with an hsCRP of less than 1.0 mg/L.
Diabetic retinopathy — a complication of diabetes
We know that diabetes affects significantly more than 10 percent of the population and is continuing to rise at a rapid rate. One of the complications of diabetes affects the retina (back of the eye) and is called diabetic retinopathy. This is a leading cause of vision loss (5). One of the reasons for the vision loss is macular edema, or swelling, usually due to rupture of tiny blood vessels below the macula, a portion of the back of the eye responsible for central vision. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), a prospective study involving over 1,400 type-1 diabetes patients, showed an 83 percent increased risk of developing clinically significant macular edema in the group with the highest hsCRP levels compared to those with the lowest (6). Although these results were with type-1 diabetes, patients with type-2 diabetes are at equal risk of diabetic retinopathy if glucose levels, or sugars, are not well controlled.
Depression
Depression is a very difficult disease to control and is a tremendous cause of disability. If we can minimize the risk of complications and hospitalizations, this is probably the most effective approach. Well, it turns out that inflammation is associated with depression. Specifically, in a recent prospective observational trial, rising levels of CRP had a linear relationship with increased risk of hospitalization due to psychological distress and depression (7).

Do your body a favor and follow the DaSH diet.
In other words, compared to levels of less than 1 mg/L, those who were 1 to 3 mg/L, 3 to 10 mg/L and greater than 10 mg/L had increased risk from 30 percent to 84 percent to 127 percent, respectively. This study involved over 70,000 patients. What can be done to
reduce inflammation?
This is the key question, since we now know that hsCRP is associated with systemic inflammation. In the Nurses’ Health Study, a very large, prospective observational study, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet decreased the risk of both heart disease and stroke, which is impressive. The DASH diet also decreases the levels of hsCRP significantly, which was associated with a decrease in clinically meaningful endpoints of stroke and heart disease (8). The DASH diet is nutrient-dense with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains and deemphasis on processed foods, red meats, sodium and sweet beverages.
Conclusion
As the evidence shows with multiple diseases, hsCRP is a very valuable nonspecific biomarker for inflammation in the body.
To stem the effects of inflammation, reducing hsCRP through lifestyle modifications and drug therapy may be a productive way of reducing risk, slowing progression and even potentially reversing some disease processes. The DASH diet is a very powerful approach to achieving optimal levels of hsCRP without incurring potential side effects. This is a call to arms to have your levels measured, especially if you are at high risk or have chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, depression and autoimmune diseases. HsCRP is a simple blood test with easy-to-obtain results.

NARCAN, which some say is a miracle drug because it has brought people who have overdosed back to life, is now being used by heroin addicts who want to continue to party but have a safety net to keep them alive. So more and more people are getting trained on how to use this life-saving antidote; it’s no longer being administered by needle but now is a nasal spray. Some are legitimately concerned that this new resource, which is supposed to save lives, may be perversely used to continue reckless and dangerous behavior. Sadly, we are distracted from the serious health crisis because it is an election year that seems more fixated on hateful, demeaning attacks on individuals rather than offering us a comprehensive blueprint for reclaiming America — an America that once stood for respect for everyone’s human rights and was committed to social justice for all.

Needless to say, I pointed out countless examples where one vote and one voice changed the course of American history for the better. We need to lead by example and demand that those who are in power do something now about the senseless loss of life that is occurring every day in Suffolk County because of this national health crisis we call heroin.

OMELETTE
Le Petit Salon de Musique will present a concert titled Silken Rags with husband and wife duo, pianist Peter Winkler and violinist Dorothea Cook, on Sunday, April 10, at 2 p.m. Ed Mikell, of the salon, noted that Winkler, a Setauket resident, is “a well-known and respected music professor,” who recently retired from Stony Brook University. Although Setauket residents now, both Winkler and his wife come from the West Coast. “I grew up in California,” he noted having attended UC Berkley for undergraduate work, Princeton for graduate school and Harvard as a postgraduate. “Then I came to Stony Brook and have been here ever since,” having joined the faculty in 1971. “I taught at Stony Brook for 42 years. I was there when the music department was just getting going. Now it’s turned into a world class music department.” Winkler and Cook met while teaching at a music camp, continuing a longdistance romance before marrying in the 1980s. “Dorothea was a native of Seattle, when there was a big bloom in music. Her father taught in high school. One of his students was Quincy Jones . . . she grew up around these famous musicians.” Winkler and Cook’s musical collaboration began in 1987 and continues to this day. In demand as a professional violinist, Cook continues to teach violin — she maintains a private violin studio and conducts classes in Dalcroze Eurhythmics at Stony Brook. Winkler is not only a performer but a music composer, having written a symphony in 1979. It was performed that year at the university and “just this past year the Stony Brook Symphony performed it again. I feel so lucky. I wrote for faculty and students … it’s a lovely situation for a composer to be in.” Winkler also wrote an opera, “Fox Fables,” which was also performed at Stony Brook. The piece was the 2011 Contemporary Americana Festival competition winner. Winkler and Cook perform together as Silken Rags. Where does the name come from? “I was always interested in ragtime,” Winkler noted. “I was classically trained and in the ‘70s [when there was a resurgence in ragtime, especially with the film “The Sting”] started composing my own ragtime. We wanted a name that combined the earthiness of ragtime with the elegance of classical or salon music.” Winkler added, “This might be the last time we do a whole concert by ourselves,” noting the amount of work needed to put together such a performance. “We have performed at SBU a few times and (Cook) is active as a performer with the Stony Brook Baroque Ensemble. We’re members of the church [the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship] so we have also played for services there,” as well as special events such as the 1890s Fair.

Peter Winkler and Dorothea cook
The concert on Sunday will include “for the most part,” said Winkler, “my own compositions plus a few jazz standards.” How does Winkler describe his style? “Classical chamber music,” but, he added, “heavily influenced by folk and popular music. One reviewer called it ‘genre bending’ compositions.” Winker said, “Most of my music is inspired by my wife. In the jazz pieces [we perform] she does some improvisation, but the compositions are mostly mine.” Another reviewer noted, “the music, for violin and piano, features the pair in rhythmically complex, harmonically rich music with influences extending from gospel and Caribbean to samba and tango — all performed here with remarkable flair and dash” (Melinda Bargreen, Seattle Times). Special guest performer at the upcoming concert will be guitarist Steve Salerno. “Steve is an amazingly versatile performer. He’s active in New York City and here [on Long Island] … He’s a world class performer, one of the top jazz performers, an extraordinary human being,” said Winkler adding, “I met him when he was a graduate student at Stony Brook University … a fine jazz guitarist, [he plays] classical, bluegrass, avant-garde — you name it and Steve will play it.” Le Petit Salon de Musique, now in its sixth season bringing classical music to the community, is located at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 380 Nicolls Road, E. Setauket. The creator of Le Petit, Mikell, noted that “I enjoy bringing quality classical music to the area. People don’t have to travel to New York City.” Tickets for Sunday’s performance are available at www.lepetitsalon.org for $15, online (adults). Adult tickets at the door are $20. Seniors 65 and over are $10 online and $15 at the door; students $5. In addition, Winkler and Cook will have copies of their album, “Silken Rags,” at the performance for purchase.

Celebrating the lovely landscapes of Long Island Smithtown Township Arts Council hosts new invitational exhibit
By Rita J. Egan
Adorned with stunning landscapes, Long Island is home to countless artists who capture the area’s charm in their own beautiful, creative ways. To celebrate the splendor of our area and the immense talent of landscape artists, the Smithtown Township Arts Council will be hosting an invitational exhibit, Loving the Landscape We Call Home, at the Mills Pond Gallery opening April 9. On display at the exhibit will be landscape paintings of eight artists that live on Long Island, according to gallery director Allison Cruz. She said in the past the gallery’s exhibits, both invitational and juried, have included artists from all over the nation but she said occasionally she likes to concentrate on local artists. The director said it’s difficult narrowing down which artists to feature in such an art show, especially when each has his or her own individual style. “There are many, many, many Long Island artists who all paint their local landscapes. There are hundreds to choose from and one is better than the next,” she said. Cruz said the artwork includes oil paints, watercolors, pastels, acrylics and more and features various recognizable landscapes found on the island including winter, beach and forest scenes. The gallery director said that in addition to an assortment of styles, mediums and scenery at the exhibit, each artist will have at least five pieces of artwork on display. “They’ll be able to show a real difference even within their own work,” she said. One of the featured artists will be Stony Brook resident Franco Jona who said he was surprised and honored when he was

notified that his work was going to be included in the exhibit. The former professor, who taught physics to engineering students at Stony Brook University for more than four decades, has been painting for several years capturing the scenic sights around his home. “I was always attracted to the natural scenes in the vicinity, around Stony Brook and Setauket and so on,” the artist said. Jona hopes that visitors to the exhibit will enjoy how he sees the local landscapes that he creates with realism in watercolors and oil pastels. “I like to represent nature the way I see it,” he said. John Mansueto, who lives in Islip Hamlet, is also pleased his work will be on display at the gallery. Originally an illustrator who also worked for the Fire Island Tide Newspaper, the now full-time artist paints landscapes in acrylics and, in the past, also created work in watercolors, a medium he plans to return to in the future.
“Usually the subject speaks to me,” he said, explaining that he can tell whether a landscape would be better recreated in watercolors or acrylics. His paintings include various scenes from the South Shore, North Shore, as well as eastern Long Island. Mansueto said he appreciates when art lovers not only enjoy his paintings but also recognize the spots he has painted. He added exhibits like the one at the Mills Pond Gallery also provide him a chance to learn about other artists. “You see what techniques they are using and how they’re doing it, which is probably going to be different from the way I do it. You dissect it,” he said. The exhibit will also include works from artists Shain Bard (Huntington Station), Katherine Hiscox (Commack), Rob Roehrig (East Setauket), Mary Webb (E. Northport), Burton A. Woods (Mount Sinai) and Patty Yantz (Setauket).
Cruz said, with a good cross section of Long Island landscapes, she thinks visitors will gain a new perspective of the area as well as artistically capturing its beauty. “I think when they see this show all together they are going to get an appreciation that there are many different ways to see the creative parts of where you live and many different types of ways to paint it,” she said. The Smithtown Township Arts Council will present the Loving the Landscape We Call Home exhibit, funded in part by the Town of Smithtown, at the Mills Pond House Gallery, 660 Route 25A, St. James, from April 9 to May 4. Art lovers can meet the exhibiting artists at a reception held at the gallery on Saturday, April 9, from 2 to 4 p.m. The gallery is open Wednesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends from noon to 4 p.m. Admission to the exhibit is free.

Some early veggies for the garden By EllEn BarcEl
Yes, it’s been a comparatively mild winter (just that one blizzard in January) and much of February and March has been milder than usual. My periwinkle were blooming in early March; spring bulbs were blooming by midMarch and on Easter Sunday, March 27, I saw not only forsythia in full bloom but magnolia trees as well. Yes, it’s time to get out into the garden. But, remember to be careful with what you put outside. As generally mild as it has been, we have had a few really cold days, with a coating of snow just a few weeks or so ago. Watch the weather forecasts and use a cold frame if appropriate for your new little plants. If you can’t wait to have those fresh, homegrown veggies, there are a number that can take the cold and even prefer it. So, in early April, you can get out in the garden and get started with some of the following. As with most crops, it’s best to rotate your veggies every two or three years. This will help prevent the spread of disease and will help to fend off insects.
Peas
Lettuce
need sun, select a sunny location, and thin to about two inches apart once the seeds germinate. Radishes can be grown in pots since they are so small and can also be grown indoors year round, since you don’t want root crops to go to seed. Radishes are ideal for children just starting to garden, since they mature so quickly.
Cruciferous veggies
While lettuce prefers a cool climate it can be kept growing all season long. Plant a new crop every two weeks. For the plants that will mature in the heat of summer, plant in a lightly shaded area. Like peas, lettuce can tolerate a light frost. There are many different varieties including head lettuce, leaf lettuce and loose head lettuce; so plant whatever you prefer. I particularly like Romaine lettuce. Lettuce prefers a sandy but fertile soil, so add compost as needed. Using a mulch will keep down weeds and keep the soil moist and cool. For leaf lettuce, you can leave the plant growing, and just pick a few outside leaves as needed.
Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, caulif lower, kohlrabi) mature quickly. You can get two crops, if you plant one in spring and a second in midsummer to mature in fall. You’ll get broccoli in 55 to 60 days, caulif lower in 55 to 80 days and kohlrabi 55 to 70 days. Broccoli needs full sun, as most veggies do, and can be planted two to three weeks before the last spring frost date (mid-April). It likes fertile, moist soil. Since broccoli (and other cruciferous veggies) tend to get large, you need to space your plants 12 to 24 inches apart. While some varieties are heat tolerant, all need moist soil. Other cool weather crops include parsley and spinach (which matures in 45 to 60 days). Always read the seed package directions for maturity date, special growing instructions etc. as the above are generalities. Ellen Barcel is a freelance writer and master gardener.

Radishes
Radishes grow quickly, so you can have a number of crops, planting a new row every couple of weeks. Radishes mature in 25 to 40 days depending on variety. As with most root crops, it’s best to sow seeds directly into the soil. If you try to transplant them, you’ll get some strange looking produce. Since radishes

Traditionally peas are planted on St. Patrick’s Day or soon thereafter. So, now is ideal. Pea plants can even tolerate a light frost. Peas prefer a sandy soil. Select a location where the pea plants can climb, either a fence, trellis or other support. Don’t let the soil dry out. Make sure you add compost to the soil. Select a variety that is disease resistant and that’s about it. You’ll soon have a tasty crop that should be harvested before the heat of summer arrives. If you decide to have a second crop, you’ll have to nurse the baby plants through late summer’s heat. There are several general types of peas: garden peas (English peas), which need to be shelled to be eaten (put the shells in your compost pile); sugar snap peas (nice and plump, with an edible pod); and snow peas, which can be used in stir fry recipes, whole. Peas mature in 55 to 85 days depending on variety.

SCIENCE
SBU’s Trelewicz wins $500,000 NSF Early Career Award
BY DANIEL DUNAIEF
Jason Trelewicz has had a productive return to Stony Brook University. A graduate of Mount Sinai High School, Trelewicz received a bachelor’s degree in engineering from SBU in 2004. After that, he earned a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then worked at St. James-based MesoScribe Technologies. He became an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at Stony Brook in 2012.
’[Trelewicz] has a terrific career ahead of him.’ — FOTIS SOTIROPOULOS
Recently, Trelewicz won a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Award, which provides $500,000 over a five-year period. Trelewicz’s research focuses on transforming applications of high-strength metals. Trelewicz is “tremendously talented. He goes after bold initiatives,” said Fotis Sotiropoulos, the dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at SBU. “He is also actively involved in pushing forward some of the high-performance computing initiatives we have as a part of the Institute for Advanced Computational Science. He has a terrific career ahead of him.” Trelewicz’s scientific efforts center around amorphous metals. He uses computational modeling and conducts experiments on metals that have a disordered atomic structure that is similar to glass and, as a result, are called metallic glasses. The metals he works with are different from everyday metals because they do not have a regular atomic structure. The atoms that make up amorphous metals or metallic glasses are in a highly disordered state. The amorphous metals “require a lot more force or stress to initiate permanent deformation,” Trelewicz said, which makes them higher strength. Instead of
deforming like crystalline metals, they become brittle. The likelihood of these types of metals developing a brittle failure is one of two problems with amorphous metals, he said. The other is that it’s difficult to make these metals in large parts like a sheet. In his work, Trelewicz hopes to overcome these difficulties. He said amorphous metals have applications in industries ranging from automotive to aerospace to consumer electronics. As a part of this award, Trelewicz is expected to use these funds to further his teaching efforts. “I’m extremely passionate about introducing students to the vast field of materials science and engineering,” he explained. Jeff Brogan, the CEO of MesoScribe, hired Trelewicz and witnessed his work habits. In a recent email, he described Trelewicz as “very organized and an excellent project manager.” Brogan called Trelewicz a “valuable member of [the] proposal writing team” and suggested he “helped secure a number” of government contracts. While he was at MesoScribe, Trelewicz was involved in developing new sensors to measure temperature, strain and other properties of interest to MesoScribe’s customers, Brogan said. “His efforts on ice detection and ice mitigation led to a patent application which was approved and is soon to be issued,” Brogan said. Trelewicz initially became interested in amorphous metals through golf. An enthusiast of the sport, Trelewicz remembers reading about how the golf club industry used these types of metals on the face of golf clubs. Their elastic properties enabled more energy to be transferred to the ball rather than be absorbed as elastic strain energy. Trelewicz wants to develop new high-strength materials that resist permanent deformation and that are not brittle. He will use simulations that model atomic interactions in a material to build an understanding of deformation physics, which he plans to use to design a more

resilient alloy. He hopes to distribute defection initiation and propagation to inhibit crack formation. Trelewicz said he has been told by a number of people that he respects that it is going to be difficult to make these materials with the proposed manufacturing process. He is encouraged by his understanding of the deformation of metallic glasses and believes the process is capable of creating structural inhomogeneities that will help him achieve his goals.
’I feel like I’m part of something huge.’ — JASON TRELEWICZ
When he was looking to return to academia, Trelewicz set his sights on Stony Brook, where he was pleased with all the changes the university has gone through since he left in 2004. “It’s astounding how the campus has evolved,” Trelewicz said. He appreciates the investment the university has made in its faculty members and in students adding, “I feel like I’m part of something huge.” Trelewicz and his wife Lauren, who teaches global studies at Earl L. Vandermeulen High School in Port Jefferson, live in Miller Place and are expecting their second daughter in May. The couple, who went to the junior and senior prom when they were in high school, appreciate being close to both
sets of parents and to the Long Island coastline, where they enjoy summer power boat trips to Orient Point and across the Long Island Sound. “Our family is a very big part of our lives, as is boating in the summers,” Trelewicz said. As for his work, he relishes
interactions with his colleagues. “Passionate discussions are what make being a scientist so exciting. I particularly enjoy collaborating with colleagues across academic, national labs and industry as I think it adds new dimensions to the thought process and promotes innovative ideas.”

Senior attack Matt Schultz and junior midfielder Alex Corpolongo scored four goals apiece to lead the Stony Brook men’s lacrosse team to a 13-10 win over the University of Vermont Sunday at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium. Junior attack Ryan Bitzer finished with two goals and two assists. Senior midfielder Challen Rogers had a goal and three assists for Stony Brook (8-2, 2-1 America East), which defeated Vermont for the 17th straight time. Ian MacKay totaled three goals and three assists for the Catamounts (5-6, 1-1). “We’re excited to get a league win against Vermont, which was second in the league standings,” Stony Brook head coach Jim Nagle said. “Every league win is tremendous for us. Since I’ve been at Stony Brook, Vermont has improved so much. They’re a great ground-ball team and Ian MacKay is among the best players in the country.” Stony Brook built a 9-5 lead with 6:36 left in the quarter. Vermont scored three straight to move within 9-8 with 12:02 left in the fourth. A shot off hip by the Catamounts’ Cam Milligan was swept aside by sophomore goalkeeper Brandon Maciejewski with 9:21 left in regulation. Maciejewski made all five of his saves in the fourth quarter.
After a clear attempt, Bitzer scored his second of the day off an assist from Corpolongo. Sixteen seconds later, Schultz’s goal made it 11-8. “There’s so much parity in college lacrosse these days,” Schultz said. “Everyone is beating everyone so you can’t go into a game thinking a team is beatable just because of their record.” Senior goalkeeper Zach Oliveri made four saves in the first half and was credited with his seventh win of the season. Seniors Brody Eastwood, an attack, and Chris Hughes, a midfielder, each had a goal. Corpolongo is tied for second in the division with seven man-up goals. Junior midfielder Jay Lindsay was 12-for25 at the faceoff ‘X’ with five ground balls. Sophomore defender Ben Randall and freshman long stick midfielder Ryland Rees had six ground balls and two caused turnovers apiece. Stony brook caused nine turnovers total, the most since forcing 12 in its season opener against Sacred Heart University. Stony Brook took its first lead against Vermont with 1:55 left in the first half, and never trailed from there. The Seawolves didn’t trail in their previous two games. Rogers, with 82 goals and 106 assists, is 12 points away from 200 for his career.
He is now two assists away from passing Jason Cappadoro, a 2006 graduate, for second most in school history. Eastwood, with 165 goals, is 11 away from passing Jordan McBride, a 2011 graduate, for the most in school history. Corpolongo’s 27 goals and 31 points already sets new career-highs in a season. Stony Brook will head to New Jersey to take on Princeton University on Saturday, April 9.

Women rattle off 16 straight goals Ohlmiller has nine-point day in 19-8 win The Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team responded to an early four-goal deficit by rattling off 16 straight goals to cruise to a 19-8 victory over America East foe University of Vermont on Saturday afternoon at LaValle Stadium. With the win, the Seawolves improved to 7-3 and 1-0 in America East play, while the Catamounts fall to 4-7 and 0-2.
Sophomore attack Kylie Ohlmiller had six goals and three assists to help Stony Brook to its fifth straight win and fourth double-digit victory in that span. Junior attack Courtney Murphy added five goals and two assists. Junior midfielder Kristin Yevoli tallied seven draw controls as the Seawolves held a 21-7 advantage on the draw. Stony Brook trailed 6-2 with 13:53 remaining in the first half before outscoring Vermont 16-0 over a stretch of 33 minutes. Yevoli added two goals along with her seven draws, while freshman midfielder Keri McCarthy tallied five. Junior attack and midfielder Dorrien Van Dyke notched four goals and an assist. Saturday marked the 30th straight game Van Dyke has recorded a point and 11th straight with a goal. Freshmen midfielders Mackenzie Burns and Kasey Mitchell each added a goal. Senior defender Alyssa Fleming recorded two caused turnovers and two ground balls. She earned America East Defensive Player of the Week honors for the second straight week for her efforts, and leads the Seawolves with 22 caused turnovers and 19 ground balls. Ohlmiller earned her third Offensive Player of the Week honor in the last six weeks. She has 15 goals and seven assists over her last three games. For the year, Ohmiller has recorded 23 goals and 19 assists.

Stony Brook outshot Vermont 31-10 in the win, and improved to 22-2 in America East regular-season play under head coach Joe Spallina. The Seawolves are now 42-5 at home since 2012. The 19 goals matched a season-high set March 16 at San Diego State University. The Seawolves have won five games by 10 or more goals this season, and
Saturday was just the second time this season the Seawolves have allowed more than seven goals in a game. Stony Brook closed out a five-game home stand when the team faced off against the University of Maryland Baltimore County on Wednesday, but results were not available by press time.
SBU baseball sweeps doubleheader against Maine The Stony Brook baseball team got back on track Saturday afternoon by sweeping an America East Conference doubleheader against visiting University of Maine at Joe Nathan Field. The Seawolves (10-12, 3-1 AE) came away with an 11-0 victory in game one against the Black Bears (5-20, 0-5 AE) and then earned a 2-1 walk-off win in game two. Stony Brook belted out 10 hits in game one. Junior catcher David Real led the way with three hits, including a double and triple, while junior shortstop Jeremy Giles and junior right fielder Casey Baker each had a pair of hits. Senior right-handed pitcher Chad Lee earned his third win of the season in game one after he tossed six innings and allowed four hits. Sophomore left-handed pitcher Teddy Rodliff picked up a threeinning save. Freshman designated hitter Dylan Resk collected two of the Seawolves’ seven hits in game two. Sophomore right-handed pitcher Aaron Pinto picked up his first collegiate win by throwing one pitch to get out of the seventh inning. “It’s never easy to sweep a doubleheader and [Maine] competed, and their starting pitching was really tough,” Stony Brook head coach Matt Senk said. “We were able
to get to the first guy and then the second guy gave them a great outing as well. Our overall pitching really went toe-to-toe with them and kept them off the board. That allowed us to finally get the bats going in the first game and push one across in the bottom of the seventh in the second game.” It was the Stony Brook bats that seemed to be the advantage in game one, but the turning point of the game came when the Seawolves were in the field. After SBU plated three runs in bottom of the sixth inning, Maine opened the seventh with a lead-off walk and double off Lee, but Rodliff quickly extinguished the threat by setting the next three Black Bears down in order with a pair of strikeouts and a ground out. With the score tied 1-1 entering the bottom of the seventh inning, sophomore third baseman Bobby Honeyman led the inning off with a single to center field. Honeyman then advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by senior first baseman Johnny Caputo, reached third on a wild pitch, and then beat the throw home to score the winning run when Giles hit a chopper back up the middle. The Seawolves will host Iona College and Manhattan College in midweek tilts on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, but results were not available by press time.

Port Jefferson’s Island Christian Church celebrates 5th anniversary In 2009, Island Christian Church acquired the First Baptist Church of Port Jefferson at 315 East Main St. The elders, knowing the history of this work in the heart of Port Jefferson village, were looking for “new life in an old church,” as they put it, and approached ICC, who already had a robust congregation in East Northport. Indeed, in the last five years, not including the nine months that the church was closed for extensive renovations, ICC Port Jefferson has grown from just a handful of people to an average attendance of between 80 to100 each Sunday. Pete Jansson, campus pastor attributes the growth of the church to nothing short of the workings of the Lord. “It was clearly the hand of God that orchestrated our move into Port and the marvelous connections that were quickly developed with the Village, the chamber of commerce and so many others within this
vibrant community.” ICC will be celebrating the occasion on Sunday, April 17 at 10 a.m., with a special service that not only looks back, but more importantly envisions what is ahead for this church that overlooks this special village. “Local dignitaries are invited to participate, along with some of the former pastors of the old church, who will join some of our current pastors and deacons,” Pastor Pete says. The church service will be followed by a family fun event, with free food, fun and fellowship, open to the whole community. This will include great games and activities for children and live music. “The whole village is invited to help us celebrate this special day,” Pastor Pete concludes. Even though it is a free event, people are encouraged to register at islandchristian.com/PJ5. For more information, call 631-822-3000.

Kids rule the stage during the Engeman’s latest production Northport theater debuts Disney’s ‘the Little Mermaid Jr.’ By Rita J. Egan
The only thing better than hearing a beloved children’s story is having it performed by children themselves. This weekend the John W. Engeman Theater presented its first “by kids, for kids” production, Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Jr.,” to an excited young audience. The musical’s run in Northport will feature two separate casts, with a combined total of 37 children between the ages of 7 and 17, playing alternate performance dates of the production that was adapted from the Broadway musical written by Doug Wright. First introduced in the Hans Christian Andersen classic fairy tale, “The Little Mermaid,” Ariel is the youngest of King Triton’s seven daughters. Living under the sea, she dreams of one day shedding her fins so she can walk and dance on land just as humans do. With the help of an evil sea witch, Ursula, her fantasies come true much to the dismay of her chaperone Sebastian, the crab. Soon Ariel finds

herself meeting a handsome prince as she embarks on an onshore adventure with Sebastian as well as her colorful friends, a fish named Flounder and a seagull called Scuttle.
Over the last 10 years, you’ve helped your child with so many milestones: learning to read, making the transition through middle school (with your sanity intact, no less!), and now getting ready for college. We’d like to help.
At this past Sunday’s performance, the young cast performed as if they were seasoned actors. Mackenzie Germaine was a sweet and lovely Ariel, who sang the mermaid’s signature song
The SAT and ACT are scheduled for May and June, and that means now is the time to sign up for our SAT or ACT Prep classes.

“Part of Your World” beautifully. As for her Prince Eric, Ben Hefter was endearing as well as charming. Maeve Barth-Dwyer was poised and devilishly delightful as Ursula. She performed “Poor Unfortunate Souls” as if she was standing on a Broadway stage. In addition, Lizzie Dolce and Mia Goldstein, Ursula’s slippery spies Flotsam and Jetsam, flawlessly sang back-up on the show-stopping number. Despite being a teenager, Matthew Fama portrayed King Triton with just the right amount of authority and tenderness needed for the parental role. Justin Autz (Sebastian), Rachel Kowalsky (Scuttle) and Chris Pappas (Chef Louis) added the right amount of humor. Kowalsky had fun with the eccentric character and shined on “Human Stuff,” while the comedic abilities of Autz and Pappas were front and center during the number “Les Poissons,” which got huge laughs from the audience. Amanda Swickle as Flounder was adorable, and when she joined Ariel’s sisters during the song “She’s in Love,” she skillfully showed off her excellent singing abilities. Ella Benjamin, Margaux Blau, Katie Garthe, Keeley O’Malley, Katie Dolce and Alexandra Spelman shone as Ariel’s sisters ‘MERMAID’ continued on page B36

and harmonized beautifully during their numbers, “Daughters of Triton” and “She’s in Love.” Keith Gryski (Grimsby), Natalie Ryan (Carlotta) and James Tully (Pilot) rounded out the ensemble on Sunday, and just like their fellow castmates, have the potential for a bright future in acting. Musical director Ariana Valdes did an excellent job with the score, which features lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater and music by Alan Menken. As for the iconic numbers, “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girl,” the whole ensemble did a fabulous job. Director Alyson Clancy has skillfully directed a talented young cast that delivers a show that is professional and at the same time light and fun for the whole family. The John W.

First bike rodeo of 2016 zooms through Safety Town By Giselle Barkley
The Town of Brookhaven’s Highway Department in conjunction with the Suffolk County Sheriffs Office STOPPED program is bringing the rodeo to Safety Town on Saturday, April 9, the first of three bike rodeos to be held this year at the Holtsville Ecology Site. Children of all ages across the Island can bring their bikes and test their bike riding skills and safety knowledge in Safety Town’s kid-sized roadways and obstacles. Attendees can also participate in bike and helmet inspections and helmet fittings during the threehour event. According to the Town of Brookhaven’s website, the miniature village was modeled after Nassau County’s Safety Town at Eisenhower Park. “It’s really a great program where the kids can come and learn on real equipment, while not having to be on an actual roadway,” said Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R). “It’s a completely controlled environment with traffic signals, crosswalks, [and] a railway crossing. It really has everything that you would encounter in a [real] roadway.” According to Losquadro, the department doesn’t limit the number of kids who can participate in this event. While most families stay for a half hour or so, the department will separate the kids into groups if a large number of children attend. The groups will rotate between the Safety Town roadways and a course designed in front of the Safety Town building. According to Traffic Safety Director Jon Sullivan, the department held its first bike rodeo around 2007 in the Brookhaven Town Hall parking lot in Farmingville. The event was moved to Safety Town after

it was established in 2009. Since it was moved to its new venue, Sullivan and Losquadro noticed that kids have a better time remembering the safety rules they learned during the rodeo or through Safety Town’s many programs. The programs cover pedestrian safety, traffic safety and bike safety among other topics. Sullivan added that the mock town and rodeo really resonate with these students.
“Kids will go home [and] they’ll be explaining [the program] to their parents,” Sullivan said. “The parents would then be calling us up saying ‘when can we bring them back?’” Sullivan and Losquadro alike remembered their experience learning about road safety in their school gymnasium. At the time, some schools used small scooters and cones to help teach students. But Losquadro said

learning these same rules at Safety Town is more effective. “It’s just a very different handson experience and being in a physical environment like this, with … real traffic signals, real lane markings [and] not just things on a gymnasium floor … it’s much more impactful to the student,” the highway superintendent said. Parents can watch their kids
learn the rules of the road when it comes to riding bikes, on Saturday, April 9, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Safety Town at the Holtsville Ecology Site located at 249 Buckley Road in Holtsville. In the event of rain, the event will be rescheduled to Sunday, April 10. For more information about this year’s bicycle rodeo, call 631-363-3770.
