MEET BETTY BOOP! This week’s shelter pet is an eightyear-old female pit bull terrier mix named Betty Boop, currently waiting at the Smithtown Animal Shelter for a family to adopt her. Named after the iconic cartoon diva (who was originally designed as a dog), Miss Boop can’t get enough of people, and volunteers at the shelter can’t get enough of her! This ball of love was brought in to the shelter by a good samaritan who found her looking lost at a nearby train station. It was quickly discovered how attached she gets to everyone when she cried watching the good samaritan leave. She doesn’t like to see any of her new friends go!

Matthew Wagner MD

Betty Boop is the perfect combination of calm, affectionate, and sweet all rolled into a 70 pound ball of love. Her eyes say it all; she oozes love and adoration for every new person she meets. While she’s great with children, she would prefer to be the only pet in her home. *Due to the health risk presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be limited public access to the shelter. If you are interested in meeting Betty Boop please fill out an adoption application online at www. townofsmithtownanimalshelter.com. The Smithtown Animal & Adoption Shelter is located at 410 Middle Country Road, Smithtown. For more information, call 631-360-7575.

Reversing, Preventing & Treating Chronic Disease and Managing Weight by Connecting Conventional Medicine with Lifestyle Modifications Our Philosophy is simple. We believe wellness is derived through nutritional medicine and lifestyle interventions that prevent and treat chronic diseases. Medications have their place - and in some cases can be lifesaving. However, there’s no medication without side effects. The goal should be to limit the need for medications - or minimize the number of medications you take on a regular basis. You are not limited by your genes. Fortunately, most diseases are based primarily on epigenetics, which are environmental influences, and not on genetics. Epigenetics literally means above or around the gene. In epigenetics, lifestyle choices impact gene expression. Just because your first degree relatives may have had a disease, you are not predestined to follow suit. We are specialists who will partner with your primary care physician. A standard medical education does not integrate enough nutritional medicine and other lifestyle interventions. We bridge that gap.

We use evidence-based medicine to guide our decision-making. The amount of research related to nutrition and other lifestyle issues continues to grow rapidly, with many studies showing significant beneficial effects on health.

Preventing and Reversing Chronic Conditions and Diseases Including:

Is disease reversal possible? Absolutely! Study evidence has found this to be true, and many of our patients have experienced reversal of diabetes, autoimmune disorders, migraines, and cardiovascular disease, just to mention a few. In many cases, because of their exceptional results, our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their medications.

COVID-19 and obesity: the implications Excess body fat is more significant than weight

Obesity is an ongoing struggle for many in the United States. The latest statistics suggest that 40 percent of the population is obese. Obesity is a disease unto itself and is defined by a BMI (body mass index) of >30 kg/m2, but obesity can also be defined by excess body fat, which is more important than BMI. Obesity has been associated with COVID-19, especially in the U.S. In a study involving 5700 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the NYC area, the most common comorbidities were obesity, high blood By David pressure and diabetes Dunaief, M.D. (1). Of those who were hospitalized, 41.7 percent were obese. In a study in China, results showed that those who were overweight were 86 percent more likely to have severe COVID-19 pneumonia, and that percentage increased to 142 percent when obesity is reached (2). The study has yet to be peer-reviewed, but it complements other studies. Another study from France indicates that those with a BMI >35 (severely obese), were more likely to be put on ventilators (3). In fact, one study’s authors suggested quarantining should be longer in obese patients because of the potential for prolonged viral shedding compared to those in the normal range for weight (4). And though age is a risk factor for COVID-19, among those younger than 60 and obese, there is a two-times increased risk of being admitted to the hospital, according to a 3,615-patient study at NYU Langone Health (5).

Why are you at higher risk for severe COVID-19 with obesity?

According to the prevailing theory, obesity may interfere with mechanical aspects of breathing, thus increasing airway resistance and make gas in exchange more difficult in the lung. It may also impede on lung volume by exerting pressure on the lungs and may involve weaker muscles necessary for respiration (6).

Why is excess fat more important than BMI?

First, some who have elevated BMI may not have a significant amount of fat; they may actually have more innate muscle. More than 25 percent of my patient population is “solidly built,” which means they have greater muscle mass as well as too much excess fat. (I have a body analysis scale that detects muscle mass

In my practice, I have seen a number of patients lose a substantial amount of weight, but also excess body fat, over a short period. For instance, a 70-year-old male lost 19 lbs. of weight and 12 lbs. of excess body fat over a six-week period. His inflammation, which was very high to start, dropped substantially to the border of optimal levels, using hsCRP as the inflammation measurement. This patient and many others have seen tandem reductions in both weight and inflammation. To boot, this was a cardiac patient whose cardiologist had considered a stent, but later said he did not need it after reducing his inflammation.

Exercise to reduce binge eating

To reduce binge eating, take the dog for a walk while social distancing. METRO photo

and fat through two different currents of ohms.) Visceral fat is the most important, since it’s the fat that lines the organs, including the lungs. For another, fat cells have adipokines, specific cell communicators found in fat cells that communicate with other fat cells but also other systems such as the brain, immune system, muscles, and liver. Adipokines can be mediators of both inflammation and insulin resistance, according to an en-docrinology study (7). In a study of over 4,000 patients with COVID-19, the author suggests that inflammation among obese patients may be an exacerbating factor for hospitalizations and severe illness (8). If we defined obesity as being outside the normal fat range – normal ranges are roughly 11-22 per-cent for men and 22-34 percent for women – then close to 70 percent of Americans are “obese.”

Inflammation reduction and weight-loss combined

In a randomized controlled trial with 75 participants comparing a plant-based diet to a control diet, there was a greater than 14

lbs. weight reduction and roughly 10 lbs. fat reduction over a 14-week period (9). Of the weight lost, about 70 percent was excess fat. Remember, excess body fat, through adipokines, may be inflammatory and increase the risk of severe COVID-19. The weight reduction with a plantbased approach may involve the increase in fiber, reduction in dietary fat and increased burning of calories after the meal, according to Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) (10). You also want a diet that has been shown to reduce inflammation. We are currently submitting a small study for publication involving 16 patients from my clinical practice. It shows that those who ate a whole food plant-based LIFE (low inflammatory foods every-day) diet over a seven-day period had a significant decrease in inflammation measured by hsCRP (high sensitivity c-reactive protein). This occurred in those who completely changed their diets to the LIFE diet, but also occurred in those who simply added a greens and fruit-based smoothie daily to their existing diet.

While sheltering in place with fewer physical activities available, it is very tempting to binge eat or use food as a leisure activity. But there is a way around this. In patients who are overweight and obese, those who exercised compared to those who were sedentary, showed a significant reduction in binge eating over a 12-week intervention (11). The participants at baseline had a mean BMI of 30.6 kg/m2 and a mean age of 43 years. Of the 46 participants, almost two-thirds were women. Exercise can be as easy as walking or running outside while social distancing; doing exercises with your own body weight, such as calisthenics; taking online exercise classes (of which there are plenty); or using exercise equipment you have at home, might help allay binge eating. If COVID-19 does not convince you that losing excess body fat is important, then consider that obesity contributes to, or is associated with, many other chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, which also contribute to severe COVID-19. Thus, there is an imperative to lose excess body fat. Now, while we’re sheltering in place, is the time to work on it.

NATURE MATTERS

Climate change has many faces

BY JOHN L. TURNER

or many years there has been a broad public perception that the primary effect of dumping excessive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, from the burning of fossil fuels (and the release of other gases such as methane from landfills, gas and oil wells, and other sources), was the warming of the atmosphere — a phenomenon that was first called “global warming” or the “greenhouse effect.” Higher average daily and annual temperatures in the atmosphere have, indeed, occurred, so that label is partially correct — 2019 was the second hottest year ever measured, only slightly behind 2016, and according to records of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the past five years are the warmest years on record in the 140-year span the federal government has been measuring atmospheric temperatures; today’s earth is more than two degrees (Fahrenheit) warmer than it was in 1950. But while the term “global warming” has become shorthand to describe the effect increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2 have on climate, a wide number of scientists recognize that warming temperatures are but one of many adverse environmental effects caused by too much atmospheric CO2 and, in fact, in some places excess CO2 has caused cooling. Thus, the term “global warming” both is inaccurate and too restrictive to capture the full range of ecological/environmental impacts and resultantly has fallen into disfavor, replaced by the more accurate label of “climate change” or “climate disruption”. But even these more accurate, expansive labels don’t completely portray the full suite of environmental effects occurring around the world, effects that go far beyond climate, as concerning as that alone would make the climate crisis.

Below is a description of but a few of the many commonly recognized “faces” of climate change that have emerged over the past decade: More extreme and destructive weather — A warmer atmosphere has more energy and holds more water vapor. This has resulted, in the past decade, of more intense weather events such as increased rainfall and associated flooding, hurricanes, and in some places just the opposite: droughts, often resulting in catastrophic wildfires. Poor Texas: in 2011 the state experienced day time temperatures of over 100 degrees for more than 100 straight days! and experienced a “500-year” storm (a storm of such intensity it is expected to occur once every 500 years) for three straight years (2015-2017). Sea level rise — As temperatures rise so does the level of the ocean due to thermal expansion and the large volumes of meltwater running off of glaciers and ice caps; it is 2.6 inches higher than 1993 and is rising about one-eighth of an inch per year, a rate that some fear will increase and perhaps increase quickly. The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation has published sea level rise projections for Long Island; for the 2050s the low projection is an eight inch rise, the medium range projection is 16 inches

Spreading of disease — A number of disease-causing pathogens are likely to get worse as the climate becomes warmer and wetter. Malaria is but one example and it is not a small example. According to the World Health Organization 405,000 people died from contracting malaria last year with 228 million contracting the disease. Closer to home, scientists think both West Nile Virus and Lyme disease will become more prevalent as the planet warms. A popular slogan seen at climate change rallies is “There is no Planet B.” We can continue to sleepwalk through the issue by electing leaders who “deny” climate change, and pretend there’s a Planet B awaiting us once we finish befouling Planet A. Collectively, we have a fundamental choice to make — we can recognize the madness of this idea, or recognize there is, of course, only one A 2019 report from the hospitable planet — Planet A — and as National Audubon Society occupants of it, we are finds that two-thirds of North in a great position to do something about it.

At long last, SBU scientists reveal Madagascar’s ‘crazy beast’ Harnessing the Technology of our Research Giants

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

Stony Brook University/John Griffin

Clockwise from above, David Krause with skeleton of Adalatherium hui; James Rossie studies CT scan of the Adalatherium cranium; a life-like reconstruction of ‘crazy beast’ with field study area where skeleton was discovered in background; co-author Lydia Rahantarisoa seated at excavation site; and David Krause helps carry plaster jacket containing skeleton of Adalatherium hui from excavation site to road.

It’s not exactly a Rembrandt hidden in the basement until someone discovers it in a garage sale, but it’s pretty close. More than two decades ago, a Malagasy graduate student named Augustin Rabarison spotted crocodile bones in northwestern Madagascar, so he and a colleague encased them in a plaster jacket for further study. David Krause, who was then a Professor at Stony Brook University and is now the Senior Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, didn’t think the crocodile was particularly significant, so he didn’t open the jacket until three years later, in 2002. When he unwrapped it, however, he immediately recognized a mammalian elbow joint further down in the encased block of

rock. That elbow bone, as it turned out, was connected to a new species that is a singular evolutionary masterpiece that has taken close to 18 years to explore. Recently, Krause, James Rossie (an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Stony Brook University) and 11 other scientists published the results of their extensive analysis in the journal Nature. The creature, which they have named Adalatherium hui, has numerous distinctive features, including an inexplicable and unique hole on the top of its snout, and an unusually large body for a mammal of its era. The fossil is the most complete for any Mesozoic mammal discovered in the southern hemisphere. “The fossil record from the northern continents, called Laurasia, is about an order of magnitude better than that from Gondwana,” which is an ancient supercontinent in the south

The closest living relatives of gondwanatherians were a group that is well known from the northern hemisphere, called multituberculates, Krause explained. The body of Adalatherium resembled a badger, although its trunk was likely longer, suggested Krause, who is a Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at Stony Brook. Krause called its teeth “bizarre,” as the molars are constructed differently from any other known mammal, living or extinct. The front teeth were likely used for gnawing, while the back teeth likely sliced up vegetation, which made probably made this unique species a herbivore. The fossil, which probably died before it became an adult, had powerful hind limbs and a short, stubby tail, which meant it was probably a digger and might have made burrows. Rossie, who is an expert in studying the inside of the face of fossils with the help of CT scans, explored this unusually large hole in the snout. “We didn’t know what to make of it,” he said. “We can’t find any living mammal that has one.” Indeed, the interpretation of fossils involves the search for structural and functional analogs that might suggest more about how it functions in a living system. The challenge with this hole, however, is that no living mammal has it. Gathering together with other cranial fossil experts, Rossie said they agreed that the presence of the hole doesn’t necessarily indicate that there was an opening between the inside of the nose and the outside world.

It was likely plugged up by cartilage or other soft tissue or skin. “If we had to guess conservatively, it would probably be an enlarged Mounted cast skeleton hole that allowed the of Adalatherium hui passage of a cluster Courtesy of Triebold Paleontology of nerves and blood “All cars vessels,” Rossie said.

MOVIE REVIEW

New Nat Geo documentary on Jane Goodall gives the world hope

Horoscopes of the week

'Hope is contingent upon our taking action together soon. All of us, every single one of us, we've all got to do our bit.' — JANE GOODALL

BY JEFFREY SANZEL It could not be more appropriate that the new documentary Jane Goodall: The Hope premiered globally on Earth Day, April 22, in 172 countries and 43 languages on National Geographic, Nat Geo WILD and Nat Geo MUNDO channels. At the heart of Goodall’s work is more than just the wonder of nature but the need to respect and honor our coexistence with other species of the planet. Her passionate yet gentle character is iconically associated with this message. The two-hour film continues where Jane (2017) left off. Jane Goodall: The Hope is an exploration of the work she has done since 1986, when she transitioned from scientist to scientist-advocate. It is a beautiful film, powerful and simple, with no narration. Instead, it is told through interviews juxtaposed with recent and archival footage spanning over six decades. There are a few nods to her earlier life. One of the first scenes, Goodall shows her childhood copy of The Story of Doctor Dolittle, the book that first opened her eyes to a world of possibilities. There are occasional glimpses into her person life — some time spent with her grandchildren or having a glass of whiskey with friends. But the heart of the film is Jane Goodall as conservationist and messenger. At 86, Goodall still maintains a grueling schedule of three hundred days on the road, traveling and speaking across the entire globe. In one sequence, she is shown shuttling from airport to hotel room (where she makes toast on an iron) to traveling again. It would be a difficult schedule for someone a third her age, but Goodall sees it as both quest and responsibility. When told she should slow down, her response is that she must speed up as time is running out. Between tours she lives in the English home that her family has had since 1940, sharing with her younger sister, Judy. We are treated to just a few rare moments of rest, accentuating her constant and unflagging work. Goodall never sought fame but has reluctantly accepted it to further her cause. She readily admits that she would have preferred to stay in the forests of Gombe, living with and studying chimpanzees, but realized she was in a position to speak out where people would listen.

From scientist to activist: Dr. Jane Goodall addresses an audience in a scene from the film. Whether addressing a crowd of several thousand or interacting with a handful of elementary students, her unique spirit comes through. Her goal is to always reach people through their hearts. She is a guide and a messenger, not a preacher. One boy describes her as “Mother Theresa for the environment.” Her outreach has included the Jane Goodall Institute as well as the Zanzibar-based Roots and Shoots program. The latter engages young people on issues of conservation and gets them directly involved. She is particularly inspiring to young girls, several of whom give impassioned paeans to Goodall as a role model. In fact, the latter third of the documentary concentrates on her legacy and the myriad results of the seeds she has planted. The film highlights her ability to connect with people and not divide them. James Baker, former White House Chief of Staff, was an avid hunter. Yet, she was able to find common ground in a belief in clean water. He readily gave her introductions to countries across the world. She developed a long-time relationship with Rodney Macalister, manager for Conoco. Throughout, he is interviewed and marvels at how she managed to get a huge oil company to build a chimpanzee sanctuary. He states simply, “She commands respect in the softest of ways.” Goodall went into labs that used primates for experimentation so that she could report firsthand. Often questioned by more radical activists, she makes clear that she would rather work with people “to do it better” then to be constantly adversarial. Ultimately, with years of considerable yet considerate pressure, she got the National Institute of Health to reduce its use of animals for the testing of drugs and other experiments. She has the ability to bridge the gap between the most unlikely individuals.

The latter third of the documentary concentrates on [Goodall's] legacy and the myriad results of the seeds she has planted. It should be noted that there is disturbing footage of the torture and mistreatment of chimpanzees. The filmmakers have wisely not overused these important images but they are as devastating as they are essential in their depiction of cruelty and neglect. The documentary clearly shows Goodall's inner focus: “I believe only that when head and heart can work in harmony we can achieve our true potential.” Her message is shared with everyone from the youngest children to the most educated of academics, from politicians to Prince Harry. And her affect on them is clear. She is hope attached to action. She understands that to make conservation work you have to engage with the local people and make their lives better. Conservation must help through community, remembering that there are basic needs that will come first (e.g., health, water, education). Ultimately, it is Jane Goodall's optimism that shines through. Her belief that the young people can and will make the world a better place. One of the final moments of the film is her speaking to a sold-out crowd. She raises her hand and says: “Together we can — together we will save the world.” And because she believes, it makes us believe it too. Jane Goodall: The Hope is an important film in the truest of ways. It is not just to be seen; it is to be shared. Jane Goodall: The Hope is now streaming free on demand.

Gin is a neutral spirit like vodka, which has been flavored with a range of botanicals, then redistilled. Botanicals are parts of plants and include roots, stems, barks, leaves, flowers, berries, fruit, beans, seeds, pits, stems, ‘I exercise extreme skins, and so on. self-control. I never drink There are well over anything stronger than 100 botanicals that gin before breakfast.’ — W.C. Fields, 1880-1946, distillers worldwide American comic and actor use, and most are a proprietary mixture of a few or many. There are a few botanicals, however, that most gin distillers use (juniper the most prevalent) and have for decades. They are lemon, orange, coriander, cassia bark, cardamom, angelica, cinnamon, orris root, and licorice. Technically, gin which is made from a base of alcohol and flavored with botanicals could be called a liqueur if it were sweetened. Most gin is not aged, and U.S. federal regulations do not permit age claims, distillation date, or vintage date. Gin is stored in containers of stainless steel, porcelain, concrete, glass, paraffin, or any other neutral material, although some distillers are barrel aging gin for varying amounts of time. Gin is made in many countries especially England, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Scotland, and the United States.

Some popular types of gin are: London Dry Gin. A generic name for gin lacking sweetness. Although originally produced only in or near London in the early 1830s, are now produced all over the world with the term having little meaning. London Dry Gin is also known as British Gin, English Gin, and Dry Gin. Plymouth Gin. A gin produced by the Coates firm of Plymouth, England, which was founded in 1793. Plymouth gin was originally associated with the British Royal Navy, who invented this gin as a tolerable way of drinking bitters (quinine), which helped control intestinal disorders. They often mixed it with lime juice; hence the nickname limey, which is frequently applied to the British. Genever. A gin produced primarily in Holland from a low-proof, distilled malt spirit, which is redistilled with juniper and other botanicals resulting in a heavier body than the dry gins produced in the United States and England. Sloe Gin. It is not a gin, but a red liqueur made from sloe (little blackberries berries) that grow in bluish-black bunches on blackthorn trees, which gives it a rather tart plum flavor. Some brands of gin to try are Aviation, Beefeater, Bols, Bombay, Bull Dog, Citadelle, Gordon’s, Hendrick’s, Junipero, Plymouth, Tanqueray, The Botanist, and Vincent Van Gogh. Bob Lipinski is the author of 10 books, including “101: Everything You Need To Know About Whiskey” and “Italian Wine & Cheese Made Simple” (available on Amazon. com). He conducts training seminars on Wine, Spirits, and Food and is available for speaking engagements. He can be reached at www. boblipinski.com OR bkjm@hotmail.com.

COOKING COVE

Memories and recipes from a kitchen chair traveler

BY BARBARA BELTRAMI

When I think of visiting a place it’s as much about the food as the sights. It’s the sweet anticipation of squid ink pasta in Venice or a real barbecue in Wyoming or pastry in Vienna or gumbo in New Orleans. It’s walking in the alleyways of little towns and smelling dinner cooking, going to an open air market and picking out just caught fish, just picked veggies, just baked crusty bread. It’s dining in a waterfront restaurant and slurping oysters with a chilled Sancerre or having an espresso at an outdoor café and people watching or picnicking in a field of lavender in Provence. It’s hearing distant music and laughter and the clinking of glasses, watching native people carry dinner home on bicycles, in baskets on their heads or in string bags along cobbled streets. It’s sipping cocktails high up in a sky-scraper and watching the city light up. And it’s passing sidewalks where people squat on their haunches, drink tea and eat bowls of rice. But not this year nor any time soon. Leafing through cookbooks, remembering and fantasizing must suffice. And so I become not quite an armchair traveler but a kitchen chair traveler as I sit at the table, poring through and longingly ogling the photos and reminiscing

their provenance. Sooner or later I zero in on a recipe, then try to approximate it and time travel back to its memory and taste. Here are a few I was reasonably successful with.

Quiche from a Picnic in Provence

YIELD: Makes 6 to 8 servings INGREDIENTS: • Nonstick cooking spray • Pie crust for 8-inch spring form tart pan • 3 tablespoons olive oil • 3 onions, diced • 1 garlic clove, minced • 2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves • 1 bunch asparagus, washed, trimmed and cut into one-inch pieces • 2 tomatoes, diced • 2 large eggs • 1 cup cream • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste • Dash nutmeg DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray tart pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with pastry crust and trim. Set on baking sheet. In a medium skillet warm oil over medium heat; add onions, garlic, parsley, thyme, asparagus, and tomatoes. Sauté,

stirring frequently, until onions are opaque, asparagus is tender, and tomatoes are mushy, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to pie crust. In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, cream, salt and pepper and nutmeg. Pour over sautéed veggies. Bake until knife inserted in center of quiche comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature with a delicate green salad.

Lobster Roll from a Maine Lobster Shack

YIELD: Makes 2 to 4 servings INGREDIENTS: • 1 pound fresh lobster meat, cut into bitesize pieces • 1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice • 2 inner celery stalks with leaves, finely chopped • 1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted • 2 to 4 top-split hot dog rolls, lightly toasted DIRECTIONS:

In medium bowl, thoroughly combine lobster, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, parsley and salt and pepper. Brush insides of rolls with melted butter; heap with lobster mixture. Serve immediately with iced tea and potato chips.

Kindness garden pops up in Port Jefferson Photos by Sue Orifici

BY DAVID LUCES

For Susan Orifici, head of graphic, archival and special projects at the Village Center in Port Jefferson, a walk along the water at Harborfront Park inspired a plan to spread positivity in the community during these uncertain times. “I saw the rocks on the shore and I thought of the idea of doing something creative with them; something that would be perfect for families and children who come to the park,” she said. The idea culminated into what she calls the “Be Kind Movement,” where individuals can come up to a table in front of the Village Center, pick out a rock, take it home and paint a message of hope, kindness or a fun design. Once they are done painting his of her rock, Orifici said they can place their rock in the designated “Kindness Garden” located behind the Long Island Explorium at the Children’s Park off East Broadway. Orifici also suggested that individuals use permanent markers or acrylic paint when designing their rock as these will last longer out in the elements. The graphic artist said the table and sign in front of the building is there 24/7. “We try to have it up everyday,” she said. “If it's too windy or if it's raining we take it down for the time being.” In a short time, community members have embraced the movement, with almost two dozen decorated rocks placed in the kindness garden so far. “I couldn’t be happier with the feedback we’ve been getting; everybody loves the idea,” Orifici

said. “I wanted to connect with others during these times and provide a ray of hope.” Orifici, who is currently working with five other employees inside the Village Center, said it can be lonely sometimes as there's only so much they can do at the moment but seeing the progress of the kindness garden has been uplifting. “It feels great seeing people stop by the table and taking a rock home with them,” she said. While the Village Center remains closed to the public, Orifici said she hopes once restrictions are lessened by the state they will be given the go-ahead to conduct a soft-opening of the center followed by an official reopening. With the ongoing success of the kindness garden, Orifici said she hasn’t thought about expansion yet but mentioned that participants could start placing rocks in the flower beds around Harborfront Park. She is thankful for the support so far. “Port Jeff is a tight community. We understand how they feel during this time, we miss them here [at the Village Center],” she said. “We hope they continue to be strong and keep being creative.”

SBU SPORTSWEEK STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

MAY 14 TO MAY 20, 2020

America East cancels all competitions and practices through end of academic year

Effective immediately, all competition and practices for all teams and individual student‐athletes at America East Conference institutions have been canceled for the rest of this academic year, including any spring sport events that occur beyond the academic year. The decision was made in light of the recent developments, including the cancellation of all NCAA winter and spring championships, regarding the spread of the COVID‐19 virus. This is a proactive decision to protect the health, safety and well‐being of everyone.

Women’s lacrosse’s Rebecca Kinsley creates t-shirt to benefit essential workers, local restaurants

Serving others has always been a calling for Rebecca Kinsley of the Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team. This still rings true in the middle of a pandemic. To help support healthcare and essential workers on the front line, Kinsley started a T-shirt campaign called “Together as One.” After a couple weeks at home following the closure of Stony Brook’s campus, Kinsley conceptualized the idea of designing and selling a T-shirt for which 100 percent of the proceeds would go toward meals for healthcare and other essential workers. “I didn’t want to sit home all this time and see what’s going on and feel like I couldn’t do anything about it, even if it was just something little,” Kinsley said. The Manhasset native teamed with a friend from home to design the T-shirt’s logo. She

then located a website that would print them on an as-needed basis. The campaign not only supports those working on the front lines, but also local restaurants affected by COVID-19. “I wanted to think of an easy way for people to get involved and be supportive of the people who are on the front lines. This is a great way for people to get on board and show their support for not just healthcare and essential workers, but also the restaurants that are in our local communities,” the junior attacker said. “I thought this would be a cool idea to get everyone involved and show everyone’s support.” One of the recipients of a meal happened to be the father of Jesse Arline, a teammate of Kinsley’s on the women’s lacrosse team. Arline’s father, the Director of Operations at Jamaica Hospital, has been working tirelessly

for the past couple months. “My dad has been at work every day since March, and he often gets home so late that he has to heat up his dinner or it’s too late to eat at all,” Arline said. “It was so nice for him to come home to one of his favorite meals. It meant so much to him and my family.” Since beginning her campaign in mid-April, Kinsley estimates roughly $500 has been raised through T-shirt sales and donations to provide the meals. Anyone interested in purchasing a T-shirt to support the campaign can do so here. Donations for meals are also being collected through Venmo at @Together-as-One. If you know an essential worker who you would like to receive a meal from a local restaurant, please send an email to togetherasoneworld@gmail.com.

Jameel Warney Named Korean Basketball League Foreign MVP

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — Stony Brook’s best basketball product has added some silverware to his trophy case. Three-time America East Player of the Year Jameel Warney was named the Korean Basketball League’s Foreign MVP and to the league’s “Best 5,” after a stellar 2019-20 campaign with the Seoul SK Knights. Warney finished his first year in South Korea averaging a double-double for the Knights, carrying 20.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game on his resume as his squad clinched a tie for first at the end of the KBL’s regular season. The league announced them as co-champions after the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the postseason. It was the Knights second, first-place finish in the last three seasons. Warney engineered a big turnaround from a 20-34 campaign a season ago, improving the squad by 13 games to win 28 of its 44 games in 2019-20. The Plainfield, N.J., native added an impressive basketball resume that includes his America East Player of the Year trophies, a pair of Defensive Player of the Year trophies from the league, FIBA AmeriCup MVP and USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year.
