New ways to protect pets from ticks

The weather warms and the ticks are hungry. There are many new options available for tick control: topical preventative, newer and more effective collars, and, most recently, oral tick preventatives. Also, many of the older products that used to only be available by prescription are now over the counter.

Which is most effective for our pets?

Although there are tick-borne diseases (infections and diseases specifically passed through the bite of a tick) in cats, we do not see them in this part of the country. This article will focus on tickborne diseases in dogs.

Ticks feed during each stage of their life cycles, and it is during feeding that the tick will ingest a variety of bacteria that cause tick-borne diseases.

The bacteria is then able to stay in the tick’s gut, the mouthparts or both until it feeds again. Each time a tick feeds, the tick attaches its mouthparts to the host and injects saliva directly into the skin. In the saliva is a sort of topical anesthetic to alter the host’s immune and inflammatory response during feeding.

During feeding, the tick not only ingests blood (its main source of nutrition) but also takes large amounts of fluid. In order not to explode while feeding, the tick is forced to intermittently regurgitate fluid. It is during the injection of saliva and intermittent regurgitation that the tick will transmit bacteria that cause disease.

The big question is how long does a tick need to feed to transmit disease? This very much depends on the tick itself.

Ixodes scapularis, the deer tick, which can carry Borrelia burgdorferi (the bacteria that causes Lyme disease) and Anaplasmosis spp (the bacteria that causes anaplasmosis), will definitely transmit within

72 hours but could be as short as 24 hours.

Dermacentor variabilis, the American dog tick, and Amblyomma americanum, the Lone Star tick, which can carry Rickettsia rickettsii (the bacteria that causes Rocky Mountain spotted fever), will definitely transmit within 48 hours but could be less than 24 hours.

Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, which can carry Ehrlichia spp (the bacteria that causes Ehrlichiosis), and Babesia spp (the bacteria that causes babesiosis) can be transmitted within 24 hours or less.

First and foremost for almost all of the pet owners that walk through my doors their main concern is not only how effective each product is but also how safe is it to themselves, their family members and other pets in the household. Questions I recommend when choosing a preventative to your dog are: • Is the tick preventative a repellent or does the tick have to attach and feed to be killed? If so, how long does the tick have to feed before it dies?

• How long does the product work before I need to administer again?

• Do I need to isolate my dog from other pets and members of my family? If so, how long?

• Is this product safe if I have cats in my household?

• Is this product safe if my dog has special health needs such as seizures?

It is nice to have more options, but this also can raise more questions. Consult with your veterinarian at your dog’s annual exam as to which tick preventative is best for them.

• Compassionate and loving care for all your pets’ needs.

On April 16 the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber sponsored its 7th annual Health & Wellness Fest with the new emphasis on “Eat Well, Live Well.”

One of their major sponsors, St. Charles Hospital, created a food court promoting healthy eating, including fruit smoothies, yogurt parfaits, shaker salads, and quesadillas made from black beans and quinoa!

Their initiative and support really drove the attendance up, and it is estimated that there were 400 to 450 attendees that joined the day’s festivities. Having their Chef Bill Dougherty, dietitians, nutritionists and staff on hand to answer questions about healthy eating and diet was very helpful to the participants. With more engaging activities eventgoers were able to

participate in the new demonstration corner learning about yoga, balance, essential oils and heirloom seeds. A ballroom dancing performance entertained everyone and Caley the miniature therapy horse graced all who he came into contact with.

“This free event helps foster the Chamber’s mission of giving back to the community, by providing information and services for the residents at large and our business partners,” said Barbara Ransome, Director of Operations at the Chamber, adding “Many thanks to all our sponsors, particularly our major hospitals — St. Charles, John T. Mather Memorial, and Stony Brook Medicine, which was featured. Their support is critical for this annual event to be successful.”

When a scientist absolutely, positively has to have a colleague’s research right now, there’s bioRxiv

By Daniel Dunaief In 1933, a gathering of scientists took place at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

The symposium, which started a tradition that continues today, resulted in the publication of a book.

With that book, CSHL started a publishing arm that now includes eight journals and over 200 books. One of the newer efforts is open to a scientific and worldwide audience for free. Created in 2013, bioRxiv (pronounced “bio-archive”) is a preprint service designed to share cutting edge and unedited biological and scientific information by posting manuscripts on its website.

The service, which has been growing rapidly and is supported by the Lourie Foundation and CSHL, had approximately 400,000 page views and 185,000 downloads in March.

“BioRxiv offers scientists the chance to share their work with colleagues who can make their own, often expert assessment of the work that’s been done without waiting for the often lengthy Spotlighting discoveries at process of peer (1) Cold Spring Harbor Lab review,” said John Inglis, ex(2) Stony Brook University (3) Brookhaven National Lab ecutive director and publisher at CSHL Press and one of the co-founders of bioRxiv, along with Richard Sever, who is the assistant director at CSHL Press.

Indeed, in September 2015, two prominent cardiologists made a public argument, through the New York Times Op-Ed pages, that information in clinical trials, particularly those that may alter the course of treatment for patients, should be made available as soon as possible.

The traditional publication process, which involves preparing data, presenting graphics and sending information to journals for peer review, can take months or more. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at the Scripps Clinic and Harlan Krumholz, a cardiologist at Yale-New Haven Hospital, suggested that this data should be on a National Institute of Health website or published on a preprint platform, such as bioRxiv.

“A very large number of clinical trials are open and then closed for various reasons,” said Inglis. “They thought it was a good idea and we now have that category.”

BioRxiv, which provides a preprint service for scientists in categories ranging from animal behavior and cognition to biochemistry, biophysics, neuroscience and zoology, also recently developed a section for epidemiology. That, Inglis said, is as far as the CSHL preprint service is prepared to go into clinical medicine at this point.

Modeled after a similar preprinting effort called arXiv that is hosted by Cornell University for physics, math, computer sci-

In Gholson Lyon’s case, the preprint service, which is housed in the same building where he works, helped him find doctors around the world.

An assistant professor, Lyon had worked with two boys with intellectual disability and who had unusual facial characteristics. After screening their genes, he searched for others who might have the same undiagnosed condition.

Preprinting on bioRxiv helped him find doctors in Colombia, Mexico, France, Germany and the United Kingdom who had patients with similar symptoms. BioRxiv expedited the pace of scientific discovery, Lyon said.

Steven Shea, an associate professor at CSHL, used bioRxiv because of the slow pace of the review process.

“We wanted [the work] to see the light of day,” Shea said. Shea believes more scientists can and should share their results on the website.

While bioRxiv offers a preprinting service, it doesn’t aim to replace peer-reviewed journals, Inglis said. Rather, it is a quicker step between the bench and the scientific community.

BioRxiv has been growing rapidly, particularly in the last few months. According to Inglis, between May and December of 2015, the rate of submissions doubled. The pace of submissions picked up even before a high profile Accelerating Science and Publication in Biology (ASAPbio) meeting in February.

To be sure, the site still posts a small percentage of the scientific information published in its fields.

Early on, Inglis said some journals resisted preprints. Not only has that number dwindled, but eight scientific publications have become a part of a pilot process that allows scientists to submit manuscripts directly through bioRxiv. He expects that number to climb to 20 by the end of April.

Unlike with peer-reviewed journals like Lancet, where Inglis started his scientific publishing career, bioRxiv does not provide editing or content review services.

Each post includes a mention at the top that it is a preprint and has not been peerreviewed.

CSHL makes sure the posts aren’t spam.

Before they share the manuscripts with the public, they put them in a queue, where a group of 40 scientists make sure they really are science.

BioRxiv declines submissions that are out of the scope of its publishing interests or that are term papers, theses or unsub-

stantiated hypotheses, which is fewer than 5 percent of the submissions, Inglis said.

Authors can revise their manuscripts on the site, which has occurred about 30 percent of the time, Inglis said.

A native of Aberdeen, Scotland, Inglis met with CSHL’s former CEO James Watson, who approached him about joining the institution. A few months before Inglis arrived, CSHL had launched its first journal.

When Inglis arrived in 1987, he and his wife Lesley, who has been teaching English as a second language at CSHL for nine years, said they expected to have “an adventure for a few years” and then return to the United Kingdom with their sons, who were in middle school. Adam now lives in Arlington, Massachusetts, with his wife Lizzie and their two sons and Tony and his wife Louise live in Brooklyn.

As for bioRxiv, Inglis sees the preprint offering as an approach consistent with the current cultural environment.

The research community includes numerous “young people who have grown up with the internet and all its possibilities,” Inglis said. “They are very comfortable with sharing in general but also with the embrace of technologies that create community across the boundaries of geography, culture, age and status.”

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

Cardiovascular disease prevention drug disappoints Niacin’s effects may not improve outcomes

Niacin has become a highly contested drug. It has powerful effects to treat elevated triglycerides, but the clinical benefit of this effect is questionable.

What is niacin? It is a B vitamin, specifically B3. It is one of the few supplements regulated by the FDA in higher doses as a medication. It is also known as nicotinic acid and is a coenzyme involved in oxidationreduction, where electrons are exchanged. These reactions provide a source of energy for organisms (1).

Just like with triglycerides, niacin seems to have David a powerful effect Dunaief, M.D. on HDL “good” cholesterol, by raising HDL levels as much 30-35 percent (2). While this is an impressive number, once again, it has become debatable whether this raising of HDL is clinically beneficial.

In several trials, niacin showed unexpectedly disappointing results in reducing the potential for cardiovascular disease and events. It also demonstrated significant side effects. In other words, this is not a harmless drug.

Interestingly, as the benefit of niacin for cardiovascular disease has been debated, the number of scripts has increased almost threefold, or 200 percent, in the seven years from 2002 to 2009, according to IMS data for both the U.S. and Canada (3). The majority of the scripts were for extendedrelease niacin (Niaspan). The rest were mainly for Simcor (simvastatin-niacin combination) and Advicor (lovastatin-niacin combination). Let’s look at the evidence.

Is raising HDL beneficial or not?

The paradigm has always been that higher HDL is better, but this may not be the case. It is not the first time that HDL’s protectiveness has been debated.

An observational study showed that those who have genetically high levels of HDL may not benefit any more than those with normal levels (4).

In a randomized controlled trial, the HPS2-THRIVE study, the results showed an increase of 6 mg/dL in HDL levels and a decrease of 10 mg/dL in LDL, “bad” cholesterol when extended-release niacin plus laropiprant was added to statin therapy (5).

This is considered by some to be a relatively small change. Also, there was no reduction in vascular events seen with the combination, even though there was improvement in both HDL and LDL when compared to the placebo.

Laropiprant is a drug used to help reduce the flushing with niacin. The dose used was 2 g of extended-release niacin and 40 mg of laropiprant. The demographics in-

cluded a patient population that had vascular disease, and therefore was at greater risk of vascular events, such as nonfatal heart attacks, strokes, arterial revascularization and mortality from cardiovascular disease.

There were over 25,000 patients involved in the study, and its duration was 3.9 years.

LDL was already low in the participants at the start of the trial.

To make matters worse, the serious side effects were greater with the extended-release niacin compared to the placebo. There was a greater propensity toward diabetes — 32 percent relative increase — as well as exacerbation of diabetes — 55 percent increase in impaired sugar or glucose control — in patients who already had the disease.

There were also increases in ulcers and diarrhea by 28 percent, muscle damage and gout by 26 percent, rashes and ulcerations by 67 percent, gastrointestinal bleeding or other bleeds by 38 percent and infection rates by 22 percent. Using niacin to raise HDL may be ineffective, at least in vascular patients, those with atherosclerosis, who already have low LDL. It does not foretell what happens in patients with high LDL at the start.

Other studies have shown questionable efficacy and increased adverse events with niacin use in raising HDL levels to limit cardiovascular events. In the AIM-HIGH study, similarly disappointing results were seen. When extended-release niacin was added for patients with stable coronary artery disease, high triglycerides and low HDL who were already on statins, there was no clinical change in cardiovascular events (6).

Also, there were more serious adverse effects seen in the niacin group compared to the placebo group in a post-hoc analysis (7). These side effects included gastrointestinal disorders, infection, and infestations. However, there was no difference in bleed or hemorrhage, though the absolute number was small.

In yet another study, this a meta-analysis of 39 studies, including HPS2-THRIVE and AIM-HIGH, comparing the benefits of niacin, cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitors and fibrates, results showed that even though these drugs may raise HDL levels, there was no improvement in terms of cardiovascular end points when they were added to statin therapy (8). There were about 117,000 patients involved in the meta-analysis. The drugs and drug classes, niacin, CETP and fibrates, did not demonstrate any reduction in all-cause mortality or coronary heart disease mortality, nor did they reduce

heart attacks or stroke risk. These drugs were added to statins as adjunct therapy.

Possible HDL explanation Investigating a theory as to why raising HDL may not be effective when using niacin, a small study looked at cholesterol efflux capacity — the ability of HDL to garner cholesterol from macrophages, a type of white blood cells, compared to the HDL inflammatory index (9). The results showed that cholesterol efflux capacity may be a better indicator for vascular disease than HDL levels. There was an increase in HDL-C, where C stands for cholesterol, but no change in HDL inflammatory index, nor cholesterol efflux capacity, when niacin was used.

In conclusion, if you are on niacin to raise HDL levels and are already on a statin, you may want to talk to your physician about the evidence that refutes the clinical benefits in reducing cardiovascular events.

The European Union has recently banned the use of niacin-laropiprant combination (10). Niacin alone does not seem to be harmless either. Whether HDL is as important as we thought is now in debate. Know that a change in a biomarker, such as HDL levels, is not synonymous with better clinical outcomes. This disappointing clinical result also holds true for niacin’s effects on triglycerides.

This article is only addressing niacin in regard to HDL and the cholesterol profile in general, not other roles for the drug. Of course, never discontinue your medication without first discussing it with your doctor.

In several trials, niacin showed disappointing results in reducing the potential for cardiovascular disease and events.

The North Shore community came together last Saturday to have breakfast with family and friends and help raise funds for research on the worst disease you never heard of: epidermolysis bullosa.

Young people who suffer from this genetic disease are known as “butterfly children” because their skin is so fragile it blisters or tears from friction or trauma. Currently, there is no treatment or cure for this disease.

More than 120 people attended the Second Butterfly Breakfast for a Cure at Applebee’s in Miller Place and helped raise $3,200 to fight EB. Kelly McCauley, a Rocky Point High School student, spearheaded the fundraiser. Very ac-

tive with debra of America, the organization that provides assistance and education to families dealing with EB, Kelly knows how much this disease can impact one’s life. Both her mother Donna and her Uncle Bob deal with the condition every day.

In a recent email, Kelly said, “I want to thank everyone for coming; it was a great success. It feels so wonderful to raise so much money for a great organization and awareness for a rare skin disease.

Special thanks to my family and friends; without their help I could never have accomplished this. I hope to see everyone next year.”

Coldwell Banker offices across Long Island, like the office in Setauket, are helping veterans residing at the United Veterans Beacon House.

Real estate agency helps veterans with linen drive

By Giselle Barkley The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage typically help residents find a place to call home. But now, the company is on a mission to help veterans in need, with its Hometown Heroes Linen Drive.

Associate Broker Lorraine Marotta of the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Setauket said the company started the drive earlier this year in January. Coldwell Banker offices across Long Island are participating in this initiative. Their goal is to collect 3,700 sets of linens including twin sheet sets and standard pillowcases, new pillows, new bath towels and new comforters. They hope to collect 700 of each by July 4 of this year.

The linens will go toward the veterans living in homes provided by the United Veterans Beacon House in Bay Shore. Many of these veterans can’t live on their own, Marotta said. Hall-Lane Moving and Storage, which provided each office with large collection boxes, is responsible for picking up and delivering the supplies to Beacon House the associate broker added.

The Beacon House mission is to provide temporary and permanent housing for homeless veterans as well as “emergency, transitional and permanent residence for families” and single individuals. The organization

strives for privacy when it comes to its veterans. Some of these veterans are housed discreetly throughout Long Island communities.

Of the organization’s more than 20 housing locations, around nine homes are designated for veterans. One of these homes is dedicated to female veterans while another is for the frail and elderly, according to the organization’s site.

This isn’t the first time Coldwell Banker has worked with Beacon House and assisted veterans utilizing Beacon House services. In the past they’ve scheduled appointments to visit and provide new flags and a Thanksgiving meal among other items, to these veterans.

On April 14 the organization met with the Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage of Long Island and Queens in Huntington to collect the first donations for the drive.

For Marotta caring for veterans hits close to home as her husband is a veteran as well. But her passion for the drive also stems from the fact that it’s a great cause.

“It’s nice to be able to recognize veterans,” Marotta said. “I feel like they’ve just been forgotten. Not only are they lonely they’re so appreciative.”

The community can drop off new linens at their local Coldwell Banker. For more information about the Hometown Heroes Linen Drive call 516-864-8104.

Historical Society honors Northport couple who shared a creative life

By Rita J. Egan

of all his friends who attended the event.

“This is really rewarding to see so many people turn out here today. Dolly passed away four years ago, and she would have truly loved it,” he said.

The artist was especially pleased to see Bill O’Brien, a former director of the Northport Historical Society, and Dick Simpson, also a former director as well as the museum’s founder. Ward said he not only worked with the two during his days on the board at the society but also with Dick in Manhattan early in their careers, and the two along with Dolly were curators together for many of the early exhibits at the society’s museum.

Ward Hooper and his wife Dolly, who passed away in 2012, were a rare couple because both were exceptionally talented and accomplished. To celebrate decades of the couple’s creative contributions to the Village of Northport as well as their involvement in the community, the Northport Historical Society is currently running the exhibit, Sharing a Creative Life: Dolly and Ward Hooper.

Terry Reid, collection consultant and member of the exhibit committee at the historical society, said, “It’s sort of a retrospective celebration of Dolly and Ward’s creative life. It’s a thank you from Northport for all of their years of creativity and community service.”

The exhibit is what Reid calls a “fullcircle moment” for her. When she started out at the historical society, she was fortunate to work with both Dolly and Ward, who were board members and curators for 35 years. She was happy once again to work with Ward on this show. “I learned from Ward and Dolly when I started 10 or 12 years ago. They taught me what I know now,” she said.

The exhibit displays the couple’s individual as well as joint achievements and demonstrates how they integrated their creativity into Northport, according to the consultant. On one side, the cabinets feature Ward’s achievements, which include graphic designs for many well-known brands, and features on the other side are Dolly’s dress designs and dolls she created.

In the middle, the displays show what the couple accomplished together, including their work at the society.

Ward’s watercolors The pieces on display come from the Hoopers’ personal collection, and the exhibit includes 24 of Ward’s watercolor paintings, too. In addition to being a former graphic designer, Ward is a watercolor painter who taught at the Art League of Long Island for 12 years. He is currently collaborating with photographer Holly Gordon on a new artistic venture called the Brush/Lens Project.

Also featured in the exhibit is the society’s dollhouse, which is a permanent fixture at the museum due to Dolly’s involvement in decorating the house with furnishings and miniature dolls.

Reid said Dolly, who began her career dressing store windows along Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, loved designing and collecting dolls, even though growing up during the Depression she never had one of her own. Among her creations on display are ones she made out of Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup bottles. The figures inspired the company to create a calendar featuring the dolls, which turned out to be one of their most successful advertising campaigns, according to the consultant.

Ward and Dolly were avid antique collectors, and the designer in the ‘70s opened the Trolley Tracks Antique Shop

in Northport, according to Reid. She also created many one-of-a-kind bridal gowns and especially loved Victorian dresses.

“She could really bring a dress to life,” the consultant said.

Reid said Ward and Dolly not only contributed culturally to the village but also were actively involved in the community.

In addition to working with the historical society as curators from 1974 to 2009, they

were also involved with the Northport Architectural Review Board as well as the village’s chamber of commerce. Ward even designed the chamber’s logo. In addition, Dolly helped make wreaths that were displayed along Main Street during the Christmas season and started the Miss Northport Pageant in the ‘80s.

Ward, who attended the exhibit’s opening reception on April 3, was appreciative

The artist said when Simpson told the couple “to come out to the North Shore” to visit him, they liked what they saw and in 1969 moved from the city and bought a converted barn in Northport. The couple, who had met in the early ‘50s at Willoughby’s Camera Store, was married since 1953.

Simpson, who traveled from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to attend the opening reception, said he hopes that everyone who visits the museum will see “the creative power these two people had.

“If you are creative, you can go in all different directions. That’s what so wonderful about the creative person and these two were very creative,” Simpson said.

O’Brien remembered visiting the Hoopers at their home and said Dolly was always working on a project. “She was a very creative woman and she was always on the go,” he said.

The former director was pleased with how the exhibit turned out. “I think the exhibit was aptly named because even though they were married, they each pursued their own creative abilities on their own stage, and then they always supported each other,” O’Brien said.

Ward and Dolly’s daughter Laura Jean Wilson was also on hand for the reception and loved that both her mother’s designs and father’s artwork were on display together. “To see everything here is beautiful. It’s well done; a lot of good memories,” Wilson said.

When it comes to what she hopes exhibit goers will discover during a visit to the museum, Wilson said, “Just how creative they were, the talent, how they worked so well together, had a lot of similar interests, and how they loved Northport. Just to see the different collaborations between the two … they loved what they did.”

Sharing a Creative Life: Dolly and Ward Hooper will be on exhibit at the Northport Historical Society, 215 Main Street, Northport, through Aug. 31. 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.

Theatre Three’s Festival of One-Act plays is the place to be

By Heidi Sutton Fighting co-workers, a murder mystery and the future rituals of dating — Theatre Three’s shining jewel, the annual Festival of One-Act Plays, delved into all that and more as it opened last Saturday afternoon for a nine-performance run.

Now in its 19th year, the festival, under the direction of founder Jeffrey Sanzel, showcases six wonderful, original works selected from nearly 400 submissions. The actors take the audience on a marathon, performing the plays back to back.

The new plays go “from page to stage; from blank slate to fully realized production,” Sanzel explained. “These are premieres; they are ‘firsts.’” Raw themes such as depression, murder, love and work relationships are all explored on an equal playing field in the intimate setting of The Ronald F. Peierls Theatre on the Second Stage.

The festival kicks off with John Kane’s “Ben and Rachel Go to the Movies,” starring veteran actors TracyLynn Conner and Brian Smith, whose relationship is revealed to the audience only by visits to the cinema over a span of more than 40 years. From their first date watching “Dr. Zhivago” (1965) to “Titanic” in the 1990s and beyond, we watch them grow old together.

Alex Dremann’s comedy “A Clean Dislike” introduces the audience to Annie (Linda May) and Marjorie (Joan St. Onge), co-workers who try, with hilarious sarcastic banter, to figure out why they don’t like each other, an issue that many can relate to. May and St. Onge tackle their roles with zeal and stay in character long after the play.

The most emotionally draining play is presented right before intermission with Jules Tasca’s “Flying Low,” which was inspired by the crash of A320 Airbus Flight 4U 9525 last March. The plane, which was traveling from Barcelona to Dusseldorf, plunged into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board. It was later discovered that the Germanwings co-pilot had deliberately crashed the plane. Dondi Rollins Jr. gives a powerful performance as the story dissects the sequence of events leading up to the tragic event, from the co-pilot breaking up with his girlfriend to suffering acute depression and not taking his medicine, to locking the pilot out of the cockpit and, finally, making his deadly decision. At the end of Saturday’s performance, there was not a dry eye in the room and the silence was deafening.

The festival continues after intermission with Robb Willoughby’s delicious dark thriller, “Bro.” After seeing his mother put white powder in his father’s coffee and then finding him dead shortly after, Mitchell, played by Brian Smith, is convinced that his mother is a murderer. The incident has left him so shaken that he has lost his job and has become paranoid about everything. His mother (Sheila Sheffield) insists the powder was just sweetener and that her husband died of a heart attack. She summons Mitchell’s brother Morgan (Brett Chizever) to help stage an intervention and get Mitchell psychological help.

Is his mother a murderer or isn’t she? And what’s this about a life insurance policy? The plot thickens.

Steve McCoy shines in his solo performance of “Why This Monologue Isn’t Memorized: A True Story” by Kurt Sass, which offers the audience a glimpse into one man’s struggle with memory loss after receiving shock treatments for his depression. In coming to terms with his fate, he concludes, “I will not remember your faces after today but I hope some of you will remember mine.”

The show closes with Tom Moran’s “OK Computer” to explore marriage and mating rituals in a futuristic dystopian world, a world in which a computer named Big Data plays matchmaker, choosing life partners for willing and unwilling bachelors. “No more guesses means no more messes” is the system’s motto. Hans Paul Hendrickson plays hapless victim Colin 3912, whose fate seems to be sealed as he is matched up with the mirror image of himself, Jillian 1293, played by Amanda Geraci.

The entire cast is superb, with notable mentions to the veteran one-act performer Smith, who has appeared in nearly three dozen plays, and newcomer Rollins who we simply must see more of.

Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson will present The 19th Annual Festival of One-Act Plays through May 14. Features adult content and language. Parental discretion is advised. Running time is two hours with one 15-minute intermission. Tickets are $18. For more information, call the box office at 631928-9100 or visit www.theatrethree.com.

Chicken with matzoh dumplings.

Jewish food can be tasty and healthy Trying new things is what food lovers are all about. The excitement of trying a new dish or experimenting with an old favorite is an experience unlike any other.

In addition to tantalizing your taste buds, trying new foods can also open your eyes to different cultures, and not just their cuisine. Eating foods of different cultures often teaches people about those cultures, including their history and any customs and traditions they might have when it comes to breaking bread.

Those who want to experience Jewish cuisine will soon learn it is both varied and delicious. In addition, Jewish food can be very nutritional, including the following recipe for Chicken with Matzo Dumplings from Michael van Straten’s “The Healthy Jewish Cookbook” (Frog, Ltd.).

Chicken with Matzo Dumplings Yield: Serves 4 to 6 Ingredients:

Fill in the blank squares in the grid, making sure that every row, column and 3-by-3 box includes all digits 1 through 9

Answers to last week’s SUDOKU puzzle: Answers to this week’s puzzle will appear in next week’s newspaper.

For the broth: 1 leftover chicken carcass, all skin and fat removed 2 Spanish onions, 1 whole and unpeeled, the other peeled and chopped 1 leek, coarsely chopped 3 celery stalks, with leaves if possible, coarsely chopped 4 bay leaves 1 large spring of rosemary 2 large sprigs of thyme 1 large sprig of sage 4 large sprigs of parsley 12 white peppercorns Note: You can use good-quality, lowsalt kosher chicken stock cubes or bouillon powder, but the recipe above for homemade broth is recommended.

For the dumplings: 7 ounces medium matzo meal (about 8 matzo sheets, ground up) 3 eggs 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley 3 grindings of black pepper 2 pinches of salt Directions: First, make the broth. Put the carcass in a large pot and cover with about 2½ quarts of water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the vegetables, herbs and peppercorns, return to a boil, cover and simmer for 1 hour. Strain, reserving the broth.

Make the dumplings by mixing all the dumpling ingredients together, then knead until you have a smooth dough, adding a little water if necessary. Cover and let rest for at least 3 hours.

Using your hands, form the mixture into balls the size of apricots. To put it all together, bring the chicken broth up to simmering point. Drop in the dumplings and continue simmering, covered, for 30 minutes. If you don’t have a chicken carcass, boil a whole chicken for the soup and use the meat in other dishes. Traditionally, a boiling fowl from a kosher butcher would be used.

Health note: This is the famous “Jewish penicillin” beloved of every mother and grandmother. It’s not an old wives’ tale; there’s good scientific evidence that it contains vitamins, minerals and other natural chemicals that are antibacterial and immune-boosting. In addition, nutrients and valuable plant chemicals are extracted from the vegetables and herbs during the cooking process, most of which end up as active ingredients in the finished soup.

Vines and climbing plants — Part 1

By Ellen Barcel If you have an ugly fence, a plain wall like the side of a garage or any other flat surface that you want to spruce up, consider vining or climbing plants since they grow up, rather than out. They are also great in hanging baskets, for those with limited space. There are several ways of looking at vines or climbers: annual vs. perennial is one. Another is decorative vs. productive. A third is invasive vs. noninvasive, that is, “the good guys.”

Another consideration is how the plant attaches itself (or doesn’t) to the wall or structure. For example, climbing roses don’t really climb up but grow very tall.

You need plant ties to attach the canes to a trellis or other structure. We’ll take a look at a variety of vines, how they grow and what you can do with them.

Annual vines Annual vines grow up and can be trained up a fence or wall but can also be used in hanging baskets or trailing down a retaining wall depending on the plant.

One of the most popular of annual vines is Ipomoea, a genus filled with over 500 different species and countless varieties. The most popular include the old-fashioned, traditional morning glory which twine around a support. The morning glory flowers (usually blue but there are pink, burgundy and white ones) open up in the morning and close at night while the moonflower (white) opens at night and closes by morning. These are nice mixed together. In that way you have flowers round the clock. Morning glories can reseed themselves for the next season. As a result, they are on Suffolk County’s Management list, meaning they are mildly invasive and it is recommended that they not be planted by county agencies or by homeowners near natural habitats.

Another Ipomoea is the cardinal vine (I. sloteri) which is filled with delicate, red flowers. I. butatas is the sweet potato vine, filled with green or burgundy (depending on variety) leaves. The sweet potato vine is grown primarily for its leaves, but you

can occasionally find nonedible sweet potatoes in the soil in the fall. I say nonedible because you don’t know how these plants were treated (what chemicals used, etc.) before you acquired them so the potatoes should not be eaten.

Nasturtium is in the cabbage family and has edible flowers that range in color from pale yellow to bright orange. Nasturtium look beautiful trailing out of a basket, window box or over a retaining wall.

Scarlet runner beans have beautiful red flowers and provide edible beans in fall.

One of the cool things you can do with these beans is to create a living tepee for children to play in. The tepee also provides shade in the hot summer for them. Take a set of light-weight poles and tie one end together and stake them in the ground in the form of a tepee. Plant the beans around the outside, leaving a space for an entrance.

The beans grow quickly, filling first with the flowers and then the bean pods form.

Hanging geraniums (Pelargonium, not hardy geraniums) are beautiful in a basket.

Flower colors range from white to pink and burgundy. Geraniums generally tend to be heat and drought tolerant. This doesn’t mean you can ignore them completely, but they do better in the heat of summer than others. Technically, geraniums are not annuals but are tender perennials, meaning they will die back in our area in the cold but continue to grow in greenhouses or down south, year round. Hanging geraniums will not climb up, like Ipomoea will, since they do not wrap themselves around other plants or have tendrils that wrap around other plants or supports.

Yes, the terminology here is confusing.

Hardy geraniums (the genus Geranium) overwinter in our area and spread, while annual geraniums, Pelargonium, are tender perennials, growing year around in warmer climates. It is Pelargonium that are commonly sold as annuals, geraniums or zonal geraniums in our area.

Next week: perennial vines, productive vines and vines to avoid.

Eastwood sets school record for goals

Brody Eastwood celebrates scoring a goal.

File photo from SBU

Senior Brody Eastwood broke Jordan McBride’s school lacrosse record for career goals to highlight a number of achievements in Stony Brook’s 16-11 win at Binghamton University Saturday.

The attack, who entered the game tied with McBride in goals, scored his 176th career tally with 4:23 left in the first quarter.

Senior midfielder Challen Rogers, who led all players with six points, tallied his 200th career point in the first half.

Senior attack Matt Schultz scored a careerhigh five goals and finished with six points.

Stony Brook is 11-3 overall and moved to 4-1 in conference play to clinch a berth in the America East Championship. “[Eastwood and Rogers] had an amazing run at Stony Brook,” Stony Brook head coach Jim Nagle said. “The key for both of those guys is that they came from British Columbia to a different lacrosse culture and adjusted, improved and became true leaders for us. I’m so proud of them.”

Stony Brook scored the first seven goals of the game, holding Binghamton scoreless for the first 20:01 of the game. The Bearcats got within four goals three times, but the Seawolves answered with goals each sequence.

“Our offense did a great job today,” Nagle said. “When we had possession we were really tough to stop. Binghamton did a great job

in the third quarter of gaining possession and limiting our touches.”

Rogers, who had three goals and three assists, recorded five of his six points in the first half. He’s recorded at least 50 points in three straight seasons and totaled at least four points in eight games this season.

“It’s a nice feeling to get to 200 points,” Rogers said. “I guess you could say it’s a big accomplishment that only four other guys have done it in 34 seasons. Without the alltime leading goal scorer next to me, I’m not sure I could have done it.”

Eastwood also finished with three goals, and an assist. He scored his 178 goals in 64 games. McBride scored his in 60, from 2008-11.

“For me, I couldn’t have accomplished anything without the help of my teammates,” Eastwood said, echoing his teammate’s sentiment. “It’s really a testament to them, not me.

Challen is unreal. Just a consistent player.”

Stony Brook scored five man-up goals and committed a season-low seven turnovers.

Schultz set a career-high for points in a season with 54. Junior midfielder Jay Lindsay was 16-for-26 at the face-off X with nine ground balls. Senior Zach Oliveri made nine saves to record his tenth win of the season.

Stony Brook will wrap up the regular season at home against the University of. Hartford on April 30 for Senior Day.

Nobody can jump higher than Dana Husband Junior Dana Husband broke a 27-year-old outdoor program record in the women’s high jump as the Stony Brook track and field teams swept the Wolfie Invitational Saturday.

Husband cleared 5-8/1.73 meters to surpass the mark of 5-8/1.68 set by Sara Lechner in 1989. Her jump also achieved the ECAC standard in the event. Husband broke the indoor record earlier in 2016 at 5-8/1.70.

Sophomore Kaylyn Gordon also recorded an ECAC standard, as she won the women’s triple jump at 39-10.5/12.15. Gordon also finished second in the long jump with a mark of 17-11.0/5.46.

The Seawolves took the women’s team title with 226 points, 86 points ahead of second-place Quinnipiac University. The men’s squad finished first with 199 points, 62 clear of second-place Sacred Heart University.

“We asked everyone to come with a competitive attitude to this meet, and for the most part that is what we got,” Stony Brook head coach Andy Ronan said. “Overall, on a decent weather day, we got a lot done individually and team wise.”

Senior Kate Pouder won the women’s 1,500 in 4 minutes, 34.97 seconds, and sophomore Jane Clark captured the women’s 800 in 2:13.69.

“Dana’s and Kaylyn’s performances were backed up by good runs from Kate

the men’s 5,000, respectively. Kun won the event in 15:05.84, with Galford behind at 15:19.58. Freshman Wayne Williams won the 400 in 49.25. Sophomore Darian Sorouri took the 3,000 steeplechase in 9:52.96.

The Seawolves captured the top three spots in the men’s triple jump, with freshman Izzy Matthew at 43-3.0/13.18, freshman Bradley Pierre at 42-11.75/13.10 and freshman Brendon Alerte at 41-11.50/12.79.

Freshman Yanik Martin won the men’s long jump with a leap of 21-11.75/6.70, while Pierre took third with 21-1.50/6.44.

The Seawolves travel to Philadelphia Thursday through Saturday for the Penn Relays at the University of Pennsylvania.

Senior Gabe Vazquez won the men’s 1,500 in 4:00.12, and sophomore Michael Watts took the men’s 3,000 in 8:38.97.

The quartet of Gordon and freshmen Sarah Militano, Chinque Thompson and Nikki Fogarty won the women’s 4x100 relay in 47.36 seconds.

Thompson (25.15) and freshman Nailah Jones (25.19) grabbed the top two spots in the women’s 200.

Tulip Festival set to bloom In Huntington it’s a spring tradition

Photo Contest

By Heidi Sutton What better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than with a Tulip Festival? The natural beauty of the historic Heckscher Park will once again serve as the backdrop for the Town of Huntington’s highly anticipated signature spring tradition this Sunday, May 1, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Now in its 16th year, the event was the brainchild of Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D).

“From its inception, the Huntington Tulip Festival has been a free, family-oriented, floral celebration held in Heckscher Park.

There is live entertainment for all ages on the Chapin Rainbow Stage, dozens of booths with fun activities for the kids and thousands of bright tulips planted in beds throughout the park,” said Cuthbertson in a recent email, adding “So come out, bring your camera, and enjoy the day!”

In addition to the more than 20,000 tulips to admire throughout the park, cut tulips will be offered for sale by The Flower Petaler with proceeds benefiting the Junior Welfare League of Huntington and there will be a student art exhibit on display near the Chapin Rainbow Stage.

Volunteers are needed to distribute festival programs to visitors. Any person or community group is welcome to volunteer by calling 631- 351-3099.

Since its inception, Huntington’s Tulip Festival has included an annual photo contest. Entries by amateur and professional photographers will be juried to select the images most evocative of the beauty and family orientation of the festival and must be postmarked or received

by July 31, 2016. Prizewinning images will be used in festival publicity.

For details, visit http:// www.huntingtonny.gov/ TulipFestival PhotoContest.

Lions clubbers bring green gifts with a message to Wading River School The Rocky Point Lions Club arrived at the Wading River School last Friday bearing gifts. Each fourth-grader received a Norway spruce sapling to plant in honor of Arbor Day and Lion Bill Johnson spoke to the children on how to take care of them. “You and your organization stand as examples for our students to follow. It is my hope that both the kindness you planted and the

saplings you donated will grow to bring joy to our children and community for years to come,” said Principal Louis P. Parrinello. Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) also spoke to the children about the history of Arbor Day and presented the classes with a proclamation.

Above, fourth graders pose with the proclamation along with, top left, Principal Louis Parrinello and, top right, Jane Bonner, along with teachers and Lions Club members.

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.

Kids, send your poetry, artwork, jokes or photographs to Kids Times, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733 or email it to leisure@tbrnewspapers.com, and we’ll publish it as soon as we can. Please include your name, age and hometown.

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. Through our proven mix of small-group instruction, independent learning and practice tests, you’ll love seeing your teen’s confidence and scores soar... and another milestone come within reach.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Start now. ©140344
