Living History Despite the threat of rain, the Farmingville Historical Society hosted a Civil War Encampment at the site of the 1823 Terry House and 1850 Bald Hill School House on Horseblock Road in Farmingville on Saturday. The community was able to travel back in time to the 1860s to experience the daily lives of Civil War soldiers with members of the 88th New York State Volunteers and The 9th Virginia Infantry Company C. The Union and Confederate soldiers conducted military drills, fired muskets, demonstrated how soldier’s meals were prepared on an open fire and conducted a mock battle at Farmingville Hills County Park. In addition, the one-room school house was in session, led by schoolmarm Susan Gill, who regaled the children with stories from the days of Laura Ingalls and life in the 1800s and answered questions.

Wine and cheese

Mozzarella ... It’s not just for pizza

Long Island Symphonic Choral Association Thomas Schmidt, Director

By BoB Lipinski “Wine and cheese are ageless companions, like aspirin and aches, or June and moon, or good people and noble ventures.” — M.F.K. Fisher, introduction, “Vin et Fromage”

Frank Ohman New York Dance Theatre Present LIEBESLIEDER WALTZES, JOHANNES BRAHMS The caprese salad is simplicity at its best.

AMERICAN LIEBESLIEDER, GREGG SMITH

The name “mozzarella” is derived from the word “mozzare,” which means “to top off or cut,” referring to the hand method of production. When freshly made, the cheese drips profusely with whey. A smoked version, called “mozzarella affumicata,” is also produced. Mozzarella is rindless with a creamy white exterior and interior. Various shapes and sizes including round, rectangular and salami-shaped are available. When twisted or braided it’s called “treccia.” Mozzarella is soft, moist, and quite pliable, sometimes almost elastic, hence the popularity of “string cheese” sticks. It has a mild, delicate and slightly tart-sour flavor. Regarding food, I like to use mozzarella in the classic salad of Capri, Italy, known as caprese. Purchase some freshly made mozzarella (there is some mail-order buffalo milk mozzarella available, but it needs to be eaten within two or three days). Now, a simple overlapping of similar sized, thinly sliced tomatoes and mozzarella sandwiched between pieces of fresh basil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, then lightly drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and perhaps a delicate touch of a high-quality balsamic vinegar. The simplicity of the cheese makes all the difference in this dish. When pairing mozzarella, look for young red or white light-bodied, fruity wines that don’t overpower the cheese. Some of the red wines I happen to like from Italy include Barbera, Bardolino, brachetto, dolcetto, sangiovese, and Valpolicella. White wines from Italy would be Frascati, Gavi, pinot bianco, pinot grigio, soave and verdicchio.

Before we start on our mozzarella journey, it’s important to note its correct pronunciation (mohtz-ahREHL-lah). Now, this stringy, elastic, slightly salty cheese that often smothers pizza is not indicative of true mozzarella. In fact, this mozzarella is usually specially made for pizzerias. In 1899, Giuseppe Pollio came When pairing to the United States mozzarella, bringing with him look for young a recipe for success . . . his family’s old red or white world tradition of light-bodied, making mozzarella. The company is fruity wines Polly-O, which also that don’t makes a “string overpower the cheese” mozzarella. Now, the mozcheese. zarella I’m going to discuss and pair with wine and fruit is the freshly made cheese, often found still warm, in the Italian neighborhood latticini (store that makes dairy products). The making of mozzarella dates back to the 1400s in southern Italy, but it wasn’t until the 16th century that the white buffalo, descendants of the Indian water buffalo, were brought to Campania. The buffaloes are bred in Campania, Italy, and their low-yield milk is utilized in making mozzarella, although cow’s milk is used in most other countries. In addition to Campania, the cheese is also made in other Italian regions such as Apulia, Latium and Molise, and in 1996 it was awarded its own PDO by the Italian government and called Mozzarella di Bufala Campana.

SBU’s Molly Frame follows blood flow from head, to shoulders, knees and toes

By Daniel Dunaief It’s the ultimate supply truck. It starts out full of products necessary through the system, travels to the equivalent of cities, towns and villages, and returns for another round trip. Unlike the trucks on the Long Island Expressway, however, these delivery vehicles are considerably smaller. In fact, they are in each of us, traveling through the heart and lungs and visiting everything in our bodies. A key part of the cardiovascular system, red blood cells pass through a maze of arteries, arterioles, veins and capillaries. When they carry oxygen to their destination and ferry away carbon dioxide, their journey keeps the human body healthy. When something obstructs blood flow or alters the variSpotlighting discoveries at ous pathways, (1) Cold Spring Harbor Lab inf lammation, (2) Stony Brook University diseases and (3) Brookhaven National Lab localized stress can build up. Molly Frame, a SUNY distinguished service professor in biomedical engineering at Stony Brook University has been intrigued by how the blood flows through her body ever since she read her mother’s nursing anatomy and physiology textbooks in seventh grade. In her research, which she has conducted at Stony Brook since 2002, Frame is seeking to understand the localized signals that can open or close an arteriole. “How does a red blood cell get from the lung, where it’s filled with oxygen, to the toes, where it empties oxygen, and what route does it take?” Frame asked, describing the route the red blood cells take through the body. “The flow path is altered in identical ways for any inflammatory processes” studied to date. Frame said the ideal flow of blood through the system is homogeneous, without any misdirection or interruption. When people get sick, the flow appears to be more irregular and heterogeneous and can be more like areas of desert next to areas of flood. The correct amount of blood flow is nearby but is not uniformly spread out, she suggested. Frame would like to know how blood vessels respond amid competing signals and what strength or concentration of a signal is necessary for a particular type of reaction. Clinton Rubin, the chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stony Brook, applauded Frame for her work in her lab on behalf of the school. Frame does “cutting edge research that helps us understand how red blood cells move through the microenvironment, which is critical for understanding everything from diabetes to wound repair, and

Molly frame she makes major contributions to the educational mission of the university.” In addition to her research, Frame is the undergraduate program director in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. “She didn’t inherit something and add icing on the cake to it,” Rubin said. “She built it out.” Rubin said Frame goes “above and beyond the call of duty” and suggested she was a “visionary” and an “implementor.” Frame has recently dedicated time and effort to understanding how nanoparticles that can enter the body through the skin, lungs or food can affect blood flow. “We have figured out that some particles look like they’re getting through the skin,” she said. Regulations haven’t caught up with technology, Frame suggests. “This is part of the system” and not the fault of the Food and Drug Administration. To be sure, Frame isn’t suggesting the immediate cessation of activities involving nanofabrication. Indeed, production using these tiny particles takes place in secure areas where water and air is filtered and waste is contained, as workers are covered from head to toe, she described. The hazard from nanoparticles is generally presumed to be identical to micronsized equivalents, which are considerably larger and have less surface area. That, however, may not be the case. Collaborating with scientists at SUNY Polytechnic Institute and George Washington University School of Medicine, Frame helped develop a way to find nanoparticles in tissues. The Stony Brook biomedical engineering lab developed a low-volume Franz chamber for exposure to oxides. Franz chambers require large volumes of the material. The biomedical engineering design team, which included undergraduates at Stony Brook, developed a smaller, more

economical version of the chamber. “The biomedical team created something amazing,” Frame said “They took an idea we had on paper and made it into something smaller” and more practical. Nanoparticles can be in everything from shiny sports drinks, which doesn’t include Gatorade, to toothpaste whiteners. Frame referred readers interested in learning more about nanoparticles to the following website: www.nanotechproject. org/cpi. Toxic elements are not included in these materials because the FDA has prohibited them. This, however, is a case where the size of the particle might affect their local chemistry in the body. Frame is married to John McMahon III, a retired police officer. The couple lives in Sag Harbor. They have what she describes as a blenderized family, with 14 children. Many of them have served or are serving in the military, with several also acting as volunteer firefighters or police officers. Their children also include an engineer, a restaurant manager and a manager with a global agency. The daughter of a mechanical engineer and a nurse, Frame said she and her siblings were encouraged to excel. She said she recalls holding a flashlight for her father, Wilbert Schultejans, while he was working on something. Schultejans, who died in 1998, would call out numbers of dimensions that he used to calculate how many more nails or screws were needed. Her mother, Nancy Schultejans, demonstrated to her children how to figure out in their heads how much of something was needed, from dosages for her patients, to yardage for fabric, to flour for bigger batches of cookies. As for her work, Frame said she will continue to focus on nanoparticles. “More studies are needed to keep up with the technology,” she said.

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

Macular degeneration: significant steps forward Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the number one cause of severe central vision loss and blindness in patients over age 65 (1). There are several different stages of AMD. The early stage is referred to as dry. Then, there is the intermediate stage and the late stage, which is made up of two forms: wet (neovascular) and geographic atrophy, an advanced form of the dry. This is not a lesson in macular degeneration’s pathology, but it is important to understand its rudimentary signs and symptoms. In the early stage, vision is not David usually affected. So, Dunaief, M.D. how do we know when someone has the disease? Because of drusen, substances composed of cholesterol and proteins. Drusen are described as white-yellowish blobs below the retina, which is found in the back of the eye and can be seen with an indirect ophthalmoscope in a dilated eye exam.

Potentially reversing early-stage disease

For the longest time, we did not know if it were possible to reverse the disease, even in its early stages. However, a recent study’s results suggest we can. The reason is that there may be a relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and AMD. Let me explain. The most common cause of CVD is atherosclerosis, or plaque buildup, made up of cholesterol deposits in the inner lining of the blood vessels. Cholesterol also builds in a layer just below the retina, called Bruch’s membrane. Both diseases also have underlying inflammation. In this small, prospective (forward-looking) pilot study, treatment with high-dose atorvastatin 80 mg appears to have possibly dissolved the drusen, resulting in reversal of early-stage disease (2). Of the patients treated, approximately 40 percent were deemed responders to the drug. A responder was defined as a greater than 50 percent reduction in drusen volume. And of those, eight of the 10 had a near-complete response after one year. However, it is not clear that reducing drusen volume actually prevents progression. Interestingly both responders and nonresponders had similar blood cholesterol levels. This was a small trial with only one group and only 23 patients. However, the results are encouraging. Hence, this is the first step toward treating early AMD. Atorvastatin is from the statin family of drugs. It reduces both cholesterol levels and inflammation. However, there are weaknesses with this study such as its small size, lack of placebo group and atorvastatin’s side effects. The study used the highest dose, and more than 20 percent of patients suffered side effects, such as gastrointestinal upset and myalgias, muscle pain. The FDA does not want physicians to start patients on such a high statin dose because of its side effects. This could possibly be offset by taking a supplement, CoQ10 200 mg, since statins deplete CoQ10 levels.

Therefore, the next step is obviously a much larger study to confirm the results, one that may also be a dose-ranging study, to identify the lowest possible dose of atorvastatin or other statins that could achieve the same efficacious results. Interestingly, a vegetable-rich, plant-based diet has similar effects to statins, at least systemically. So, a study could use both diet and statins.

The intermediate stage?

In this stage, drusen have either grown in size and/or there are pigment changes in the retina itself (3). In two randomized controlled trials, the AREDS and AREDS2 studies, results showed that supplements may be able to reduce the risk of disease progression to the late stages, not reverse it (4, 5). In these studies, specific formulations were used. It turns out that zinc and vitamins C and E may be the most important micronutrients in these supplements. Zinc by itself showed a reduction. The micronutrient doses were vitamin C 452 mg, vitamin E 400 IU, zinc 69.6 mg and copper 2 mg. In the AREDS2 study, the researchers added lutein and zeaxanthin, which reduced the risk of progression further, from 25 to 30 percent, but only in those who did not get significant amounts from their diets. Fish oil in the form of DHA 350 mg and EPA 650 mg did not have any effect in reducing the risk of disease progression. On an interesting note, zinc also showed that it could reduce the risk of dying from all causes by 27 percent in the AREDS analysis (6). Caveat emptor when it comes to supplements for AMD. A study examined 11 supplements from five different companies (7). Only four actually contained what was in the AREDS studies. Another important thing to note about the supplements that do contain proper micronutrient amounts is that these supplements do not prevent AMD, nor should they be used in early AMD; they were meant for intermediate AMD. In the medical community, we sometimes make that mistake.

The good news is that eye injections originally had to be done every four weeks. However, trials have shown that the injections can be used as needed or on a treatand-extend basis (8). In other words, injection frequency can be individualized.

Is prevention possible?

When it comes to AMD, prevention is possible with lifestyle modifications. Study after study shows this. The basis for this effect is a high-nutrient diet that includes vegetables, fruits and fish. Exercise also plays an equally important role. Here are two studies to reinforce this. In the Rotterdam Study I, a prospective (forward-looking) observational study, results showed an almost 50 percent reduction in risk of developing either early AMD or late-stage AMD (9). The components of the diet included at least seven ounces of vegetables per day, at least two servings of fruit per day and two servings of fatty fish per week. Sadly, only 3.5 percent were able to consume this very modest combination of servings. Two servings of fatty fish, by itself, reduced risk 26 percent. The study had 4,797 participants who were at least 55 years old, and it had a mean duration of nine years. In the CAREDS study, results showed that both exercise and a plant-based diet, separately or on their own, had similarly impressive potential protective effects, reducing risk by approximately 50 percent (10). Diet, plus exercise and not smoking, decreased risk even more, by a whopping 71 percent. Again, congruous with the diet above, these results were based on a Mediterranean-type diet. There were 1,313 female participants, ages 55 to 74 at the study’s start, and a sixyear study duration. The bottom line is that the use of statin medications may be a new approach to preventing progression and possibly reversing early-stage macular degeneration. But the tried and true method of prevention is lifestyle modifications including a high-nutrient, plant-based diet, with the addition of fish, as well as exercise.

People at high risk for AMD, may benefit from increased zinc intake.

How about the late stage? As mentioned above, late-stage AMD is made up of two different forms. Fortunately, 85 to 90 percent of AMD is earlier stages of the disease and progression does not always occur. In both forms of advanced AMD, central vision is significantly compromised. However, in the wet (neovascular) type, there are several different intravitreal (into the eye) injection medications that significantly improve vision. The most commonly used medications include ranibizumab (Lucentis), bevacizumab (Avastin) and aflibercept (Eylea). They prevent the growth of new blood vessels in the eye that may leak and cause significant central vision disruption.

LONG ISLAND’S GOLD COAST BANK REPORTS NET INCOME INCREASE OF 63% IN FIRST QUARTER OF 2016 (Islandia, NY) April 18, 2016 – Gold Coast Bank, known as “Long Island’s Community Bank”sm, today reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of $418,000 compared with net income of $257,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a 63 PERCENT INCREASE. On a per share basis, Gold Coast Bank earned $0.14 per share compared with $0.09 per share in the prior year. Return on average assets and return on average equity was 0.46 percent and 5.66 percent, respectively in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 0.31 percent and 3.64 percent, respectively, in the 2015 first quarter. Total assets at March 31, 2016 were $372 million, an increase of $23 million, and an increase of 7 percent from $349 million at December 31, 2015. Deposits at March 31, 2016 totaled $326 million, an increase of $19 million, or 6 percent, compared with $307 million, at December 31, 2015. Non-interest bearing demand deposits were 31 percent of the total deposit portfolio at March 31, 2016 compared to 34 percent at December 31, 2015. The bank had borrowings of $10 million at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Total loans outstanding at March 31, 2016 were $289 million, an increase of $13 million, or 5 percent from $276 million at December 31, 2015. Loan originations and draws were $23 million in the most recent quarter compared with $12 million in the comparable period in 2015, a 95 percent increase. Asset quality continues to remain strong: The Bank’s nonperforming loans were 0.02 percent of gross loans at March 31, 2016. Allowance for loan losses was 1.05 percent of total loans at March 31, 2016 The net interest margin increased to 3.26 percent in the most recent quarter compared with 2.77 percent in the same period last year. This net interest margin expansion was largely due to a $28 million, or 9 percent increase in average interest earning assets, a result of deposits that were initially invested in lower yielding money market investments in the first quarter of 2015. Later in 2015, these funds were redeployed into higher yielding investment securities and loans. The Bank remained well -capitalized: - Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 8.8 percent. - Common Equity Tier 1 Capital and Tier 1 Capital Ratios of 11.6 percent - Total Capital Ratio of 12.6 percent At December 31, 2015, book value was $9.93 per share, increasing to $10.18 per share at March 31, 2016. To support its expanded lending activities throughout the New York City metropolitan area, Gold Coast Bank commenced an offering of up to 949,330 shares of its common stock at a price of $10 per share on February 19, 2016. To date, the bank has received subscriptions for and issued 211,862 shares of its common stock and has raised $2.1 million of new capital, net of $ 16,000 of offering expenses. Total shares outstanding totaled 3,194,166 at March 31, 2016. The larger capital base allows the bank to make larger loans to high quality borrowers and to better penetrate our market area. John C. Tsunis, Chairman and CEO stated, “We thank and are encouraged by our original investors who continue to support our community bank as well as new investors who have come aboard in response to our bank’s growth, profitability and stellar asset quality. We intend to use the proceeds of our current offering to satisfy the lending demand in our markets and to increase our lending capacity to our excellent customer base and new target markets, and to expand our branch footprint. The additional capital will ensure we meet all regulatory capital requirements as well as increase our legal lending limit to attract and expand relationships. We look forward to our next closing for additional investors who have indicated that they wish to subscribe”.

Pastor Pete Jansson along with his wife Doreen received a proclamation from Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the Island Christian Church in Port Jefferson on Sunday, April 17. Looking on is Island Christian Church’s pastor emeritus Lester Ayars and Barbara Ransome from the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce. Island Christian began its ministry in 2010, taking over the old First Baptist Church of Port Jefferson, built in 1855 as a congregational church, but named First Baptist in 1861. The church has had an illustrious history, paralleling that of the village, but fell on hard times with diminishing congregants and resources over the last 20 years or so. When Island Christian acquired it in late 2009, the building was totally updated with modern amenities while preserving its historical integrity. It opened, fittingly, on Palm Sunday, 2010, and has grown into a vibrant “beacon” to the community and region.

They say you should dress for the job you want, not the job you have. For those who are unemployed, that can be a difficult proposition. Like anything else, business wear is not getting any less expensive. In Suffolk County, residents have a valuable resource at their disposal if they’re seeking a job but don’t have the means to buy a suit, dress or other professional attire. Two years ago, led by County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and the Department of Labor, the Career Couture Boutique was born. Located in the One-Stop Employment Center at the William J. Lindsay County Complex in Hauppauge, the boutique is full of donated, lightly worn business attire for both men and women.

A fairy godmother at the helm June Kirby, a 20-year county employee, was hand picked to run the boutique two years ago. She said it was just an empty room back then, but after building shelves and stocking the donated items, the boutique now resembles an upscale shopping experience. Kirby estimated she has fitted somewhere in the neighborhood of 900 people in the boutique’s two-year existence, and though there isn’t an official notification process when customers of the boutique find jobs, she said about 50 percent have gotten back to her with news they’ve been hired. “It’s very rewarding,” Kirby said in a phone interview last Tuesday. “You see the difference of a person’s self-esteem. They finally are getting the interviews. This is basically the last step before they go on to the interviews.”

From the kindness of others The boutique gets customers based on referrals from veterans shelters, family service organizations, other nonprofits and walk-ins. Everything is donated to the boutique, and, when job-seekers are fitted, they are given the clothing, free of charge and without the need to return it. Sport Clips, Long Island Beauty School and other local salons donate coupons for haircuts and manicures to complete the job interview preparation process. Most of the items come from dry cleaners and private donors. “I receive a lot of donations,” Kirby said. “It’s in the thousands. Whatever I do not utilize, I donate.”

Garden Conservancy to host Open Days Program

Photo from Garden conservancy

Mitsuko En’s garden in Stony Brook

The Garden Conservancy will hold its Open Days Program on Sunday, May 15. The program was created in 1995 as a means of introducing the public to gardening. In our neck of the woods, four private gardens will be open to the public at various times for self-guided tours: Tranquility, 42 Jesse Way, Mount Sinai (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) — This garden can be described as an explosion of color, fragrance, sound and texture, with hundreds of plants combined with water features, lawn art and footpaths that allow the visitor to enter the owner’s vision of an impressionistic painting.

Two Grey Achers, 88 Old Field Road, Old Field (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) — An extensively planted landscape with views of Conscience Bay, featuring conifers large and small, rhododendrons, azaleas, Japanese maples and more, created for four-season interest. Sue Bottigheimer’s Garden, 61 Cedar St., Stony Brook (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) — This one-half acre includes raised beds, shrubs and evergreens that divide the garden into distinct spaces. In May, beds are filled with exuberantly blooming azaleas, columbines and other rare companion plants. Mitsuko En, 68 Aspen Lane, Stony Brook (2 to 6 p.m.) — Flowering and evergreen trees and shrubs are arranged and shaped to give the impression that this is a bit of Japan. A stream that cascades beneath a stone slab, through a cluster of boulders, and under an arched wooden bridge to reach a lily pond, a tea house, a roofed cedar and bamboo fence with a high covered gate and a wisteria arbor help to complete the theme. Admission to each garden is $7, children 12 and under are free. Held rain or shine. No reservations required. For more information, visit www.opendaysprogram.org.

Soon to emerge: the 17-year cicada

By EllEn BarcEl

Recently on the television I heard a newscaster announce that the 17-year cicadas are due to emerge. Sounds ominous, doesn’t it? What effect will this have? Will they damage your plants? Well, not really. First of all, there are 15 different broods of the 17-year periodic cicadas. They live in the ground for 17 years, each brood emerging during a different year. Brood V is due out this year, Brood VI in 2017, Brood VII in 2018, etc. That means that there is a brood emerging almost every year, but not in the same place. This year’s brood, Brood V, is emerging mainly in Ohio and West Virginia with a small pocket of them on eastern Long Island, around the Wildwood State Park area. Interestingly, the only place that these 17-year locusts (as they are sometimes known) are found is in the eastern United Sates, nowhere else in the world. Cicadas live most of their lives, 17 years generally, underground feeding on the roots of plants. Then come spring, usually May, they dig their way to the surface, shed their skin and look for a mate. The males have a high-pitched whine that attracts the females. About a week to 10 days later the females lay lots of eggs. About six to seven weeks later the eggs hatch, the nymphs fall to the ground where they burrow into the soil and feed on plant roots, waiting for 17 years before emerging briefly to mate. In general, the emerged cicadas don’t do a lot of damage to plants, so there really isn’t a problem, just a lot of noise and a bunch of dead insects when they die off. Mature cicadas are about an inch and a half long, so between the noise and the size you really notice them, that and the strange life cycle. Most of Long Island is home to Brood 10 which is due to emerge in 2021.

A really cool website, Cicada Mania (www.cicadamania.com) has detailed information about not only the 17-year locusts but the 13-year ones as well. Penn State Extension (http://extension.psu. edu) also has detailed scientific information, noting that the 17-year cicadas can do damage to fruit trees, causing slits in the bark when the female lays eggs and taking nutrients away from the fruit trees when the nymphs feed on the roots. If you have weak trees, they could suffer some damage. But, cicadas do not chew on leaves the way other insects do. Personally, I would be more concerned about aphids on roses and slugs attacking my hostas. Tent caterpillars are sometimes in the area, but, while unsightly, unless the same tree is attacked year after year, the tree usually survives quite nicely. Remember, keep your plants healthy and that keeping the balance in nature is very effective in controlling most pests. Birds in the garden, for example, eat a lot of insects. Praying mantises, while large and scary looking, eat lots of insects as well. The rule of thumb is that unless more than 10 percent of a plant is affected, you can probably leave the pest alone. Don’t freak out if your hosta leaves have a few small holes in them, but do keep checking to make sure the situation doesn’t get out of control. If it does, use the least offensive way of controlling it. Only if the milder controls don’t work, then use the heavy-duty ones, chemicals. This is known as integrated pest management. For slugs, I find that just hand picking them off the plants at night works quite nicely.

Let’s eat

Transform traditional meals with seafood 2 teaspoons fresh thyme 4 wild Alaska cod (4 to 6 ounces each) 2 cups mashed potatoes, warmed 4 fresh thyme sprigs

Now more than ever, food choices matter. People want healthy, environmentally friendly foods without sacrificing flavor. Substituting the traditional protein in your favorite dishes with seafood is one deliciously smart way to satisfy these demands.

DIRECTIONS: In hot sauté pan, cook olive oil, onions and garlic for 1 minute. Add both peppers and salt and pepper, and saute 2 minutes. Add flour and stir until flour turns light brown. Add chicken stock and stir until liquid smooths and starts to thicken. Add tomato and thyme. Season fish with salt and pepper, to taste, and place into simmering sauce and cover. Cook 3-4 minutes, carefully turn, cover and continue to cook until done, 3 to 4 minutes. To serve, place 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes on 4 serving plates. Carefully remove each piece of fish and place on top of mashed potatoes. Evenly divide sauce over each piece of fish. Garnish each plate with 1 sprig of fresh thyme.

Salmon Marsala INGREDIENTS: 4 Alaska salmon fillets (4 to 6 ounces each) salt and pepper, to taste 2 cups flour 1/2 cup olive oil 1 cup Marsala wine 2 cups mushrooms, sliced 2 cups chicken stock 2 teaspoons fresh thyme 2 tablespoons cold butter 4 fresh thyme sprigs, for garnish

Salmon Marsala Remove fillets from pan; hold aside. Off heat, add wine to pan, scraping bits off the bottom. Return pan to heat and add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook for 1 minute. Add stock and thyme, and let liquid reduce by half. Return salmon fillets to pan. Cook, while basting fish, until fillets are heated through. Remove fish fillets to four serving plates. Return pan to heat, add cold butter and swirl until incorporated and sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat and divide sauce evenly over salmon fillets. Garnish each plate with 1 thyme sprig, if desired.

cover story

Gallery North’s Still Life captures fleeting beauty By EllEn BarcEl Gallery North in Setauket will open Still Life on May 13, an exhibit by nearly two dozen artists both local and farther afield, many from New York City. While some feel that still lifes are static, they’re really not. There’s always the question, “What’s going to happen next?” said Judith Levy, executive director of Gallery North, with “the implied action to follow.” Artist Bruce Lieberman, a member of the Artists Advisory Council of the gallery, said the idea for the show came about when he met Lennart Anderson, an old mentor and friend at an opening. “He is a great painter and I thought it would be wonderful to show him and the circle of artists, ex-students and friends, those associated with him,” said Lieberman. “Sadly, Lennart passed away and his work became unavailable to us, but the idea remained, morphed and drifted away from Lennart as the driving force. But not really. He still lingers and lingered in the back ‘Local artists are of my mind throughout happy to be in the process.” Added the exhibit . . . Lieberman, people from the “The director’s vision city are happy is to return to be showing in to the idea of exhibitnew areas. It’s an ing the best, exchange.’ most inter— Judith levy esting work she can … Judith had a major role in curating the show but the painters I picked are artists I know or whose work I have known and/ or been impressed by.” Some of Lieberman’s works will be shown, including “Blue Eggs and Ham,” “Green Pineapple Shell and Blueberry” and “Cat on an Ocean Table.” He said, “My work is … based on perception but in no way is meant as a mere depiction of reality … I’m interested in how paint lays down and how paintings are constructed — the abstraction inside the work. They usually begin with or contain some symbolism, a story, an idea. Embedded into the still life, this personal symbolism, or narrative falls away as I work.” Pieces in the show range in size from tiny to quite large. Liz Kolligs of Old Field, known especially for her paintings of horses, has some tiny still lifes just “six to seven inches. They’re of desserts — you want to eat every one of them,” said Levy. Looking at contemporary artist Robert Franca’s “Bananas,” one a half-eaten banana and a skin, the other a whole piece of fruit, asks the question: ‘Who’s going to eat the second one?’ But there are interesting backstories as well. Franca, who also has two other paintings in the show, “Cantaloupe” and “Apples,” said, “I began the series of fruits/vegetables/food simply enough around 10 years ago. Looking down at the breakfast table one morning, I was

suddenly struck by the way the half eaten banana was left on the plate, and the quality of the light, and the fact that I couldn’t have ‘arranged’ it better. When I brought it up to the studio to paint, it looked even better.” Franca noted the challenge of time imposed by a “perishable subject emphasized the need for economy and expediency in my approach.” He added that at the time of year he was painting, the days were long. “I found I could start painting by 8 a.m. and finish a painting by 5 or 6 p.m. ‘Perception’ is my touchstone. The visual pleasure, the experience of seeing beauty and why it is often fleeting is a mystery worth exploring to me.” Local artist Eleanor Meier will have two of her watercolors in the show, “Dutch Plate and Tulips” and “Hydrangeas from the Garden.” They have an interesting backstory as well. “The two watercolors that Judith selected,” Meier said, “are of a blue glass water pitcher — a gift from my grandson. They are both about reflections and family memories, because of the objects included.” Meier noted, “they are painted from life, using layers of glazes to deepen the color and yet to emphasize the transparency of the paint. My style revolves around doing the underlying drawing (my passion) carefully and accurately. Then the painting is sheer fun.” Abstract expressionist Robert De Niro Sr. (1922-1993) will be represented in the show as well. The father of actor Robert De Niro, he married artist Virginia Admiral and moved to a loft in New York’s Greenwich Village, a mecca for artists and writers of the time. In addition to solo exhibits, De Niro’s work is in a number of museums and private collections. Other artists in the exhibit include Amy Weiskopf, Angela Stratton, Christian White, Don Perlis, Fred Badalamenti, Jacqueline Lima, Joseph Podlesnik, Laura Westlake, Lois Dodd, Mel Pekarsky, Nancy Bueti Randall, Oscar Santiago, Paul Resiki, Randall Rosenthal, Robert Jessel, Robert Kogge, Stephen Brown and Susan Jane Walp. “Local artists are happy to be in the exhibit … people from the city are happy to be showing in new areas. It’s an exchange. The whole idea is a group of artists from various places … new artists, new techniques,” said Levy, adding that in addition to paintings there will be work from a photographer as well as a threedimensional sculptor. This is a sharing of “new ideas and new techniques.” Still Life will run from May 13 through June 19. The opening reception, to which all are invited, will be held on Friday, May 13, from 5 to 7 p.m. An ArTalk will be held on Sunday, May 15, from 3 to 5 p.m. during which some of the artists will be on hand to discuss their work. Both events are free and open to the public, but donations are always welcome. Gallery North is located at 90 North Country Road in Setauket. For further information, please call 631-751-2676 or go to www.gallerynorth.org.

Paintings will be for sale

File photo

A Taste of the neighborhood will feature signature dishes from 15 local restaurants. for several weeks after the event, which will give people time to view the exhibit. (Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., but call 631-751-6208 for details and gallery hours.) All proceeds from the raffle baskets and sale of paintings will go directly to the Setauket Neighborhood House. The Setauket Neighborhood House originally was built in the early 1700s. In

1820, it was moved from its Conscience Bay site in Setauket to its present location by Dr. John Elderkin. When passed on to his son John in 1836, the rooms, now known as the Victorian Parlors and the Board Room, were added. The house then became known as Ye Old Elderkin Inn. Besides being an inn, the house also had a general store, post office, bank and

library in the building. John Ederkin’s wife, Renelcha, was a woman of great refinement and energy. She oversaw the inn, which was noted for its hospitality and fine food with many famous people stopping there. During the 1860s, the inn serviced a stagecoach line from Setauket and the Lakeland Railroad Deport near Ronkonkoma. 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 her husband, Captain Beverly S. Tyler. The Tylers named their inn The Lakeside House and it operated until 1917. The Old Field industrialist, Eversley Childs and his wife Minnie, purchased the property in May of 1917 and together with an endowment presented it to the community. The Childs also provided funds for the addition of the present-day Ballroom. The Setauket Neighborhood Association was formed to maintain and preserve the house, and it has since served as a community meeting place. Tickets for this event may be purchased for $30 online at www.setauketnh.org or at the door for $35. Checks may be sent to P.O. Box 2192, Setauket, NY 11733. Please join them at this wonderful community event to raise money for the maintenance and preservation of one of our most beloved community treasures — The Setauket Neighborhood House!

Kasey at the buzzer: Seawolves win fourth-straight America East title Freshman Kasey Mitchell scored a freeposition goal as time expired to lift the Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team to a 10-9 victory over the University at Albany and its fourth-consecutive America East championship Sunday afternoon at LaValle Stadium. With the win — the 14th-straight for Stony Brook — the Seawolves improve to 16-3, while the Great Danes drop to 11-6. Courtney Murphy scored four goals on the afternoon to give her 95 on the year, three back of the Division I singleseason record set in 1984. Junior Dorrien Van Dyke added four goals and an assist, while sophomore Kylie Ohlmiller chipped in a goal and three assists. Murphy was named championship Most Outstanding Player and was joined by Mitchell, Van Dyke and sophomore Samantha DiSalvo on the all-championship team. The Seawolves trailed 9-8 with 90 seconds remaining before junior Courtney Murphy tied the game with 1:23 to play. Senior Alyssa Fleming caused an Albany turnover with 39 seconds to go, and following a Stony Brook timeout, Mitchell won it at the buzzer. Junior Kristin Yevoli tallied five draw

controls and freshman Keri McCarthy added four. Freshman Anna Tesoriero made five saves between the pipes. Fleming had two caused turnovers, including the crucial one in the final minute, along with a ground ball. Stony Brook improves to 4-1 all-time in America East Championship finals. The Seawolves allowed more than seven goals in a game for just the third time this season. However, Stony Brook is 2-1 in those games. Stony Brook improves to 48-5 at LaValle Stadium since 2012. Associate head coach Caitlin Defliese captured her eighth career America East title Sunday. Defliese has won the last four conference championships as part of the Stony Brook staff and won four straight as a player at Boston University from 2007-10. Murphy broke the America East record for goals in a single season with her first tally of the day, passing the mark of 91 set by Defliese’s Boston University teammate, Sarah Dalton. The women’s team will open the NCAA Championship in Massachusetts, with a game at Boston College on May 13 at a time to be announced.

Alexandra Juliano

by rita j. egan Before she flies off to the University of Delaware in a few months, Alexandra Juliano is taking on one of her dream roles — Peter Pan. The Commack High School senior and other young actors, who are all 18 years old or younger, will be hitting the stage at the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts in “Disney’s Peter Pan Jr.,” which opens on May 14. The Commack native is no strange to the stage. She has performed in various productions at the Dream Makers Performing Arts School in East Northport as well as her high school, most recently playing Mrs. Lovett in “Sweeney Todd.” Over the last few years, she has appeared at the Smithtown Theater in the junior versions of “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Les Miserables,” as well as the Mainstage production of “The Little Mermaid” as Aquata, one of Ariel’s sisters. Recently, Juliano took time out from rehearsals to talk about her portrayal of the iconic character and growing up.

I guess I have to say my favorite song is the first time the Darlings fly with me. The “You Can Fly” sequence, where the famous line is, “Neverland is second star to the right, straight on till morning.” I’ve always loved that line. I can’t wait for that magic with the audience, the little kids thinking that we’re flying.

I was ecstatic; I was over the moon! I love doing shows here, especially the junior shows. I’ve done a Mainstage show and it was amazing, but the junior shows are really nice because I love working with the little kids and all my friends and everything. Peter Pan actually has always been my favorite Disney movie, ever, and Peter Pan himself has always been one of my dream roles. I love “Peter Pan” and everything that it’s about. So, not only did I know it was going to be a great experience because of that, but it’s a part I always wanted to play. I was so proud, so happy, so humbled to get the chance to play it.

The energy in the audience is always so high. We do autographs after, and obviously performing onstage is amazing, but that’s one of my favorite parts, is the autographs after. For “The Little Mermaid Jr.” I was Sebastian, and the kids, just the things that they would say to you, they really believe

that you’re the character. They thought I was this little red crab. I think that’s the best part. These kids come, and they’re so young some of them, and even the ones who are older, and they know that it’s not real, they still get sucked into it. They still have that Disney Magic. Like I said, even though I love performing, obviously, I love the autographs, and the energy that the kids show, the enthusiasm they show.

Do you think some of the kids in the autograph line will realize you’re a girl? I’ve actually thought about that. I don’t know exactly what response I’m going to give yet if anyone says that to me. I’m thinking I’m going to have a short enough wig and if they say anything to me, I’ll just have to stay in character and say, “No, I’m Peter.” And I hope, even if they do realize I’m a girl, I hope that when I’m onstage, they’ll forget the fact that it’s a girl playing a boy, and just enjoy it for what it is.

Peter Pan and his friends are resistant to growing up. How do you feel about growing up? It’s scary. I just paid my deposit for college actually this past weekend, and it’s really scary. My brother, my whole life I’ve grown up with me and him being very, very close … my older brother … When I was younger I was always like, “No, I want to be an adult. I want to wear the high heels and the lipstick,” but he was always like, “I just want to stay young forever.” And now that I’m actually wearing the high heels and the lipstick, I love looking back at the memories of being a kid. There are perks of being an adult but then there’s definitely reasons why I see that Peter didn’t want to grow up. It’s definitely a lot more fun being a kid.

Do you plan on acting at college?

The Summer Theatre Arts Program has been working with young actors since 2001. It is an opportunity to learn theatre arts through the rehearsal process of a musical. First time actors and seasoned actors are all welcome. The directors of PIPPIN and THE WIZARD OF OZ are David Kramer (Miller Place School District-(retired)-Mt. Sinai High School) and Jean P. Sorbera, known affectionately as “Miss Jean” (formerly Theatre Three’s resident choreographer and director/choreographer for multiple Suffolk County school districts). Ari Kramer (Sayville High School) and Alizah Kramer (North Shore Hebrew Academy High School) have worked with our youngest actors for many years. Tuition includes 4 tickets for each participant to their own show plus free admission to the other 2 performances and a program t-shirt. Feel free to contact us at 631-331-7236 or email davidkramer9@hotmail.com for further information or to request an application.

Yes, I plan on minoring in theater. Which is good, since I’m doing the minor, I’ll be able to audition for their shows and everything. And, I know already Ken [Washington] said next year for the summer show I’ll be able to audition for it when I get home from college. So, it’s good. Even though I’m not majoring in it, it will always be a part of my life.

Do you see yourself acting professionally?

Looking for a new experience for your child this summer? Sign up now for our fun and exciting Summer Program at Studio B. Each day we will be creating fantastic art projects and cool science experiments, either in our art studio or (especially for our super messy stuff!) outside. Contact us now to reserve a spot!

I would love to be able to pursue it professionally. It’s such a risky and tough business. My parents have told me you’re more than allowed to audition, and they’ve even told me if you get a part while in school, you’re allowed to take time off to pursue a part on Broadway or off Broadway if you get that opportunity, because they know how important it is to me. I have my backup plan, I have the backup job, but I definitely would love to audition and put myself out there for it.

Just keep trying out. You’re not always going to get the part you want. You’re not always going to get the lead role your first try or your second try. But, it’s all about making the best of the role you get, in theater so many people don’t see that, but there’s no bad role. Even ensemble in shows, they’re so much more than ensemble. I’m one of those people I’ll watch a show, and during the big dance numbers, I love seeing the facial expressions of the ensemble, and I love seeing the energy. And, the ensemble really makes or breaks a show. So ensemble is sometimes the best role. Just keep trying. Just keep going. Don’t get down on yourself. Because eventually you’ll get there, you’ll get the role you want. So far, the experience with “Disney’s Peter Pan Jr.” has left the soon-to-be 18-yearold with wonderful memories. She said not only does she enjoy working with the whole cast but the musical gives her a chance to perform with one of her best friends Cass Fawcett, who plays Tinker Bell. Juliano also said the young actors playing the Darlings — Moira Swinford (Wendy), Cole Napolitano (John) and Erika Rothman (Michael) — with whom she appears in many scenes, are exceptionally talented. Catch Juliano and her fellow young actors at the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts until June 19. The theater is located at 2 E. Main St., Smithtown, and tickets are $15 per person.
