KNOWLEDGE

CSHL’s Churchland shows how we think about numbers

When she’s having trouble understanding something she’s reading, Anne Churchland will sometimes read the text out loud. Seeing and hearing the words often helps.

An associate professor at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Churchland recently published research in the Journal of Neurophysiology in which she explored how people use different senses when thinking about numbers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This study might have implications

for disorders in which people have unusual sensory processing. “By understanding the underlying neural circuitry” doctors can “hopefully develop more effective treatments,” Churchland said.

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

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

The group studied a lighthearted example, viewing the relationship between chocolate consumption and the number of Nobel Prizes in various countries, with Switzerland coming out on top of both categories. “In the chocolate case, correlation does imply causation because I like to eat chocolate and was looking for excuses,” she joked.

Christopher Fetsch, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Neuroscience at Columbia University, worked with Churchland for several months in 2010. In addition to teaching him how to do electrical microstimulation and serving as a “terrific role model,” Fetsch described Churchland as “an innovator with a high degree of technical skill and boundless energy.”

Fetsch, who attended the same conference last month, lauded Churchland’s ability to bring together experts with a range of strengths.

Churchland created a website, www.

Anneslist.net, which is a compilation of women in neuroscience. She said it began for her own purposes, as part of an effort to fi nd speakers for a computational and systems neuroscience meeting. The majority of professors in computational neuroscience are men, she said. “It is important to have a field that is open to all,” she said. “That way, the best scientists [can] come in and do the best work.” The list has since gone viral and people from all over the world send her emails.

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

Despite living on Main Street in Setauket for 28 years, I only had a nodding acquaintance with the Setauket Neighborhood House. Then for several weeks last summer I watched as a new porch went up on the house. I thought, “Wow, that construction is a big deal.

Keeping up this old house must cost a fortune.” For the first time I wondered who owned the Neighborhood House, and how the resources to maintain the building were generated. Well, this is what I discovered.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tickets are $30 online at www.setauketnh.org or $35 at the door. For more information, call 631-751-6208.

Come join us while we celebrate this beautiful building and raise money for a new ballroom!

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

High blood pressure trumps the boogie man

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) deserves a substantial amount of attention.

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

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

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

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

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

RISK FACTORS MATTER, BUT NOT EQUALLY:

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

pressure. This was the greatest contributor to developing this disorder (5). Another risk factor with a significant impact was being at least modestly overweight (BMI >27.5 kg/m2) at 1.87 times increased risk. This surprisingly, albeit slightly, trumped cigarette smoking at 1.83 times increased risk.

Interestingly, weekly binge drinking at 1.87 times increased risk was equivalent to being overweight. This study was observational and involved 2,763 participants. The moral is that a freewheeling lifestyle can have a detrimental impact on blood pressure and cause at least stage 1 hypertension (systolic between 140 and 159 mmHg and/or diastolic between 90 and 99 mmHg).

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DOESN’T DISCRIMINATE:

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

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

DIETARY TIDBITS:

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

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

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

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

NIGHTMARES THAT MAY BE REAL:

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

There is something referred to as masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) that may increase the risk of cardiovascular events in the nighttime. MUCH occurs in those who are well-controlled during clinic readings for blood pressure; however, their nocturnal blood pressure is uncontrolled.

In the Spanish Society of Hypertension ABPM Registry, MUCH was most commonly seen during nocturnal hours (8).

Thus, the authors suggest that ABPM may be a better way to monitor those who have higher risk factors for MUCH, such as those whose pressure is borderline in the clinic and those who are smokers, obese or have diabetes.

Previously, a study suggested that tak-

Remembering the Lusitania 100 years later

By Daniel Dunaief

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

Among the 1,198 killed that afternoon were 128 Americans, which included 39-year-old pianist Charles Harwood Knight and his 42-year-old sister Elaine.

The Knights were Dorney’s great-greatuncle and aunt and, for a time, were also her grandmother Millicent Lawrence’s guardians. After the sinking, which took 18 minutes, the Knights, who were traveling in first class, were never found.

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

The sinking of the Lusitania, like the loss of the Titanic three years earlier, raised questions about what actions could have prevented the death of so many at sea. It also triggered active discussion about what role the United States could or should play in World War I. The German government had warned of an aggressive campaign to sink ships around the British Isles that they believed were carrying munitions and reinforcements for the war. Some thought the Lusitania, which, at 24 knots, was the fastest cruise ship active at the time, could avoid becoming a target. The ship, however, had shut down one of its boilers to keep down costs, bringing its top speed to 21 knots, said Michael Poirier, co-author of the book “Into the Danger Zone: Sea Crossings of the First World War.” In the waters where the Germans had been patrolling, the ship was only going 18 knots, said Poirier.

The Lusitania “was handicapped by not speeding through the danger zone,” Poirier said. There are so many “what ifs,” he added.

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

Bryan thought the sinking didn’t

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

Even if America didn’t enter the war, Bryan didn’t want the sinking to become “a line in the sand,” where, if the Germans cross that line in the future, America “paints itself into a corner and has no option but to go to war,” Barnhart continued.

Teddy Roosevelt personified the other side of this argument, urging the United States to come to the aid of the British. Roosevelt viewed the sinking of the Lusitania “as an example of barbarism,” Barnhart said. Political cartoonists at the time described the Germans in terms similar to the way people view ISIS now, Barnhart said.

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

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

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

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

In celebration of the 90th anniversary of the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s literary novel, “The Great Gatsby,” the Friends of the Port Jefferson Free Library held a Gatsby Tea Party fundraiser on Wednesday, April 29 in the Meeting Room of the PJFL. Guests enjoyed a wonderful lunch and dessert and sipped tea from their favorite teacups. Shirley Weiner presented a lecture on F. Scott Fitzgerald and his literary works that was followed by a raffle drawing. The Port Jefferson Historical Society loaned a period costume exhibit, featuring a flapper dress, a man’s tuxedo and a bridal trousseau, for the occasion. Proceeds from the event will be used to fund projects at the library such as its Living Heritage programs, Dickens Festival events, music programs, Baby Book Welcome Bags, the Vets Memorial Project, family carnival and more.

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

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

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

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

“I don’t entirely approve of some of the things I have done, or am, or have been.

But I’m me. God knows, I’m me.” Iconic actress Elizabeth Taylor’s self-appraisal references a life that ranged from the sensation of stardom to the sensationalism of tabloids. She was one of the last superstars of the Hollywood studio tradition, and her life and career, both on and off screen, were a source of entertainment for decades.

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

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

At times her personal life overshadowed her screen accomplishments, but in the end, after eight marriages and numerous life-threatening illnesses, Elizabeth Taylor was a survivor.”

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

Cover your garden with a blanket of phlox

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

Phlox is an interesting genus of plants.

Some are very small and are matlike.

Others are tall. Some bloom in spring, some in summer and some in fall. Different varieties will grow in almost any environment — a very ubiquitous plant.

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

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

Another is the color of the flowers: white,

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

Most phlox used in gardens are perennials. They can be divided in spring or fall if the bed becomes overcrowded.

There are basically two types available for the home gardener: the spring

blooming creeping phlox, which are stunning in rock gardens and cascading down walls, and the summer flowering tall phlox. Generally, phlox prefer full sun, but creeping phlox does well in some shade.

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

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

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

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

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

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

SBU women win 3rd straight America East Championship Seawolves top Albany, 11-8

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

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

Kupres scored four of her game-high five goals in the first half and five of the first eight for the Seawolves, who have won seven straight after suffering their only loss of the season on April 7.

Ranftle, who finished with five points on two goals and three assists, tallied a goal and three assists in the first 25:27. Ohlmiller played the role of facilitator, finishing with a game-high five assists, including two in the first half.

Sophomore attack Courtney Murphy recorded a hat trick.

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

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

make it 5-1 with 12:38 left in the first half.

The Seawolves forced seven turnovers in the first half.

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

Sophomore attack and midfielder Dorrien Van Dyke led all players with three draw controls.

Ohlmiller tied an America East Championship game record with five assists. She set a tournament record with nine assists in two games.

Stony Brook won three straight draw controls in the first half.

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

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

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

Stony Brook is the third team in America East history to win three straight titles.

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

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

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

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

Clockwise from top left, Amber Kupres races up the field with the ball; Taylor Ranftle maintains possession with a defender at her hip; and Kylie Ohlmiller looks to make a play.

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

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

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

Stony Brook, the No. 6 seed, has earned a first-round bye and will host the winner of the Fairfield University and Princeton University game on Sunday, May 10 at noon.

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

Giosia celebrates senior day with eight RBIs SBU wins regular-season finale over UMBC, 10–2

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Freshman Chelsea Evans

joined Giosia on the weekly podium, earning the first Rookie of the Week title of her career.

Evans reached base in five of the six games, finishing the week with a .636 on-base percentage. Much of Giosia’s success was predicated on Evans’ ability to get on base. She finished the week 6-for-14, with eight runs scored.

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

Senior pitcher Allison Cukrov moved to 12-4 on the season with the complete game victory over UMBC. For the week, she went 3-0 with three complete games and a 1.35 ERA. With 10 runs, the 2015 Seawolves broke the school record for runs in a season (251), set by the 2009 team.

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

Seniors Giosia, Cukrov, Bria Green and Lauren Kamachi

were honored before the game.

The Seawolves are 144-75-1 since they arrived in 2012.

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

‘My Mom Is The Best’

By Amal Sani My mom is the best mom in the universe because she cooks, cleans, helps me and takes care of me. It must be so, so, so, so, so, so, so hard to do all those things.

I can’t imagine how many things my mom has to do to take care of me, my sister and my baby brother. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t even be here. When I am sad my mom gives me big hugs. Sometimes she gives me hugs for no reason. When I am sick my mom gives me medicine. My mom is the world’s best cook. My mom used to teach cooking. She can make anything taste good. Her coffee cake is the best. It doesn’t even include coffee. I would be crying and sobbing if my mom were not in my life anymore. My mom plays with me when I have nothing to do and that makes me happy. My mom pays so much money for school, field trips and supplies for school. My mom helps me with so many things. Once I did a state report on Hawaii and she helped me with the poster. It was so beautiful!

My mom likes to garden so we started a garden. I can’t image what I would do without her. She is the best mom ever!

KIDS TIMES ‘My Mommy’

By Aimee Yang, age 7, East Setauket

You are so special to me And I love you You are as bright as a warm summer’s day You are as wise as a smart old owl You are as energetic as a cheetah sprinting across the plains You are the one who corrects me when I make a BIG mistake You are the one who reads a story to me before bed You are the one who gives me hugs and kisses before sleeping You are the one who makes me happy the rest of my life I love you with all my heart
