SURVEY SAYS: Dear Readers, Curious to find out how the North Shore community will be spending Memorial Day weekend, TBR News Media’s star reporter, Kevin Redding, took to the streets to interview local residents. Here are some of their responses: Ron Gerry, Stony Brook I’m taking my son to Germany to go and follow my father’s itinerary from 1944 to 1945 in World War II. He was with Patton and we’re going to follow from when they landed in Normandy until they wound up in Nuremberg. The last battle they fought was in the Nuremberg stadium, the old Nazi rally grounds and the podium that Hitler spoke from jutted out from the stands and my father painted Patton’s Third Army “A” on the side of that podium and had somebody take a picture of him like he’s going to jump off of it and I remember seeing that as a kid. I was stationed over in Germany in the ’60s and my wife came over in 1966 and we toured all over Europe and wound up in Nuremberg stadium and so I got up in the same position as my father, my wife took the picture of me and when we got home, we got it developed and showed it to my father. He said, “Gee I was wondering where that picture went.” And she said, “No that’s not you, that’s Ronnie.” And now I want to take my son there and introduce him to that piece of history.

Michael Walter, Coram I’m hoping one of my four kids will invite me over to the house for a free meal — one of them will. I’ll go visit family locally here in Suffolk. I used to march in Memorial Day parades when I was in the Naval Reserve ... I did a lot of marching. I was in the Naval Reserve a long time ago, in the ’60s, a merchant marine officer with a reserve commission. The line of work that you’re in would be abolished without the troops ... you wouldn’t have the right to say anything. You need the military to preserve the First Amendment.

Sarah Raynock, Mount Sinai My family has a big boat so we’re going to have a dock party for Memorial Day. Every year we do that. Everybody on the dock invites people over and we have food and drinks and it’s really fun. My dad’s a veteran, he was in the Coast Guard and Navy, so we put up the flags and he definitely thinks it’s important to go to the cemetery [every year] and visit his dad, who was a vet, so we definitely have some annual traditions. I think that Memorial Day is definitely special for the vets and they should be honored.

Leslie Ardolino, Port Jefferson My daughter’s in a dance class and will be marching in a Memorial Day parade in Setauket ... she marches every year. Then we’re going to have a pool party and family party at the house if it’s warm enough. Have a low-key day.

Ken Veale, Lake Grove Owner of Port Jefferson Motorcycle Store Every day we honor the vets, we thank them for their service and everyone who comes in here who identifies themselves as a vet, we shake their hand and thank them for their service. Of course, when they buy something, we honor them by offering a discount. We have stuff in the store for the Vietnam vets, stuff here for the guys who just got back from Afghanistan. I always go over to the wonderful memorial for the vets here in Port Jefferson in the park right across from the Village Hall. I make sure if I see someone there, I go over and talk to some of the guys I know. Yesterday I was over at the farmer’s’ market and happened to see a vet in a wheelchair and I went over and said, “Hey buddy, how ya doin’ today?” and the guy was doing great. He said, “I’m just enjoying the day, every day’s a gift,” and vets know that more than anyone else. The people walking around enjoying all the freedoms that we have, have to understand it’s because of these guys.

Audra Wright, Port Jefferson My friend, Lonnie Quinn from Port Jefferson, who served in the Army in Iraq for a couple tours, committed suicide last year on Memorial Day, so I’ll be honoring him quietly. I’m probably going to reach out to his family. The day is meant to honor the veterans — that’s the point of it. A lot of people think it’s just about barbecues and a three-day weekend. If anyone wants to make a donation in Lonnie’s memory, they can give it to Paws of War in Smithtown.

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

Keep your finger on the pulse

Resting heart rate is a predictor of disease Everyone has a heart rate, so everyone needs to pay attention. But what does that heart rate, or pulse, tell us beyond the obvious fact that we are alive? Our “normal” resting heart rate is between 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). We know that a resting heart rate (RHR) above 100 bpm is abnormal. It is referred to as tachycardia, or a racing heartbeat, and it has potentially serious consequences. However, even normal RHRs can be stratified to identify risks for diseases. What I mean is that, even in the normal range, as your resting heart rate increases, so do your potential risks. Actually, resting heart rate below approximately 70 bpm may be ideal. The importance of the resting heart rate should not be underestimated. In fact, it may play a role in longevity, heart disease — inBy David cluding heart failure, Dunaief, M.D. arrhythmias, heart attacks and sudden cardiac death — and even chronic kidney disease. The good news is that RHR is modifiable. Methods that may reduce your rate include medications for high blood pressure, such as beta blockers, and lifestyle modifications, including meditation, dietary changes and exercise.

Impact on life span We all want to live longer and healthier lives. Reducing the RHR may be an important component in achieving this goal. In the Copenhagen Male Study, a prospective (forward-looking) study that followed 2,798 participants for 16 years, results showed that those with higher resting heart rates had a greater risk of death (1). There was a linear relationship between the risk of death and increasing RHR. Those who had a resting heart rate above 90 bpm were at a threefold greater risk of death, compared to those who had a RHR at or below 50 bpm. RHR was inversely related to the amount of physical activity. Thus, the authors concluded that a “healthy” person with higher RHR may still have a shorter life span, with all other factors being equal, such as physical activity and blood pressure. In contrast with the previous study, the following one took a “glass is half-full” approach to longevity. The Jerusalem Longitudinal Cohort Study showed that elderly women and men who had a lower RHR lived the longest (2). There were more than 2,000 study participants, ranging from 70 to 90 years old.

Heart disease mortality In the Nord-Trondelag Health Study, a prospective observational study, those who had a higher RHR at the end of the study than they did at the beginning of the study 10 years prior were more likely to die from heart disease (3). In other words, as the RHR increased from less than 70 bpm to over 85 bpm, there was a 90 percent greater risk of

Yoga on the beach

A recent study showed that men who ate greater amounts of fish — more than one serving per week — had lower resting heart rates than those who ate fish rarely. heart disease, compared to those who maintained a RHR of less than 70 throughout the two measurements. This study involved 30,000 participants. However, unlike some other studies, many of us can relate to the population: They were at least 20 years old and were healthy volunteers.

Heart attacks It is more common for women to have heart attacks with atypical symptoms than men. Therefore, it is very important for women to reduce their heart attack risks. In the Women’s Health Initiative, results showed a 26 percent decrease in the risk of cardiovascular events in those postmenopausal women who had a RHR below 62 bpm, compared to those who had a RHR above 76 bpm (4). Interestingly, these results were even more substantial in the subgroup of women who were newly postmenopausal, ranging in age from 50 to 64.

Effect on kidney function I have written many times about chronic kidney disease. I thought an interesting follow-up might be resting heart rate and its impact on kidney function. In the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, results showed that the most severe form of chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease, was 98 percent more likely to occur in those with the highest RHR, compared to those with the lowest (5). There were approximately 13,000 participants in the study, with a 16year follow-up. The authors hypothesized that this negative effect on the kidney may be due to a loss of homeostasis in the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system, resulting in blood vessel dysfunction, such as increased inflammation and vasoconstriction (narrowing).

rates than those who ate fish rarely (6). There was also a direct relationship between the amount of fish consumed and the RHR: the more fish consumed per week, the greater the reduction in RHR. This was a prospective observational study involving about 5,000 men. Some beneficial side effects of eating fish included decreased triglycerides and diastolic (lower number) blood pressure, as well as increased HDL (“good cholesterol”). Even after controlling for these beneficial side effects, there still was a significant improvement in RHR with fish consumption. Is there a resting heart rate that is too low? Well, it depends on the context. If you are a marathoner or an athlete, then a RHR in the 40s may not be abnormal. For a healthy, physically active individual, it is not uncommon to have a resting heart rate in the 50s. However, if you are on medications that reduce your RHR and/or have a chronic disease, such as heart failure, it is probably not advisable to go much below 60 bpm. Always ask your doctor about the appropriate resting heart rate for your particular situation. Thus, resting heart rate is an easy and inexpensive biomarker to potentially determine risk stratification for disease manifestation and to increase longevity, even for those in the normal range. We can utilize RHR as a tool for primary prevention of disease. The fact that it is modifiable means it is something that we need to monitor, so that we can achieve the ideal RHR, rather than just the normal.

Time to plant impatiens again

Shade plant makes comeback after downy mildew blight BY ELLEN BARCEL Impatiens are beautiful plants for the shade garden. They are colorful and bloom virtually the entire growing season as the plants spread. And yes, impatiens are finally coming back to the nurseries after several years of doing battle with downy mildew. All variety of impatiens, with the exception of New Guinea, are susceptible, including plants that have impatiens in their lineage as well as wild impatiens. Although first reported in 2004, it was in 2011 when there were widespread outbreaks and impatiens disappeared from nurseries. Downy mildew is a fungal-type infection that causes the plants to basically shrivel up and die. Once the plants show signs of disease, they can’t be cured. But now, wholesale nursery growers know about the problem and use a fungicide before any signs of disease appear. Since the pathogen (spores) can remain active in the soil for many years, there are several things you as a gardener can do to make sure that your new impatiens remain healthy: ◆ Check out the new plants you are buying to make sure they appear to be disease-free (no yellow, wilting, brown curling leaves or fluffy white spots on the underside). ◆ Don’t plant your new impatiens in the same spot in the garden where you planted them in previous years. That way, if there are any spores left in the soil from previous years, you will have planted your new impatiens in a safer spot. ◆ If concerned, you could also plant your new impatiens in pots that have been thoroughly cleaned rather than in the ground. ◆ Use good-quality potting soil for containers. ◆ If you are still concerned that the new impatiens may be affected by downy mildew, plant New Guinea impatiens instead since they are highly resistant to the pathogen. ◆ To provide color in the shade, consider planting coleus, caladium or begonias instead of impatiens. ◆ To help avoid fungal diseases in general, water the ground, not the leaves of plants. For example, use a drip irrigation

Look for fluffy white spots on the underside of the impatiens leaf, a sure sign of downy mildew.

system that waters the soil/roots rather than the leaves. ◆ If you use a sprinkler system, have it set to come on early in the morning. That way, the water has time to soak into the soil and the daylight sun will quickly dry the plant’s leaves. ◆ If, despite all precautions, you find that your impatiens develop downy mildew, remove the entire plant (yes, that includes the roots and any fallen leaves and flowers), bag it and dispose of in the garbage. Do not compost it — or any plant showing signs of disease. If you compost it you are just saving the pathogen for next year. No current fungicide cures already infected plants.

Other common plant diseases Many of the above recommendations apply to all sorts of plants that are prone to fungal diseases, such as the tomato/potato blight. In that case, look for diseaseresistant plants. Damping off is a bacterial disease that can appear in seedlings in damp, cool soil. Always use fresh potting soil for seedlings. Blossom end rot of tomatoes seem to appear when tomato plants have not been grown in evenly moist soil. So, while you don’t want the soil soggy, you don’t want it to repeatedly dry out either. A calcium deficiency may also play a role. Black spot is common on roses, especially older varieties. Use an appropriate spray following manufacturer’s directions. To prevent the problem in new plantings, look for disease-resistant varieties. Ellen Barcel is a freelance writer and master gardener.

Here’s an offer you can’t refuse. In celebration of its 45th anniversary, “The Godfather” (1972) will be screened at over 700 select cinemas nationwide on Sunday, June 4, and Wednesday, June 7, courtesy of Fathom Events,Turner Classic Movies and Paramount Pictures, giving both longtime fans and a new generation a chance to see one of the most influential films ever made back on the big screen. In the 45 years since its first release, Francis Ford Coppola’s American epic has become part of the American mythology. Ranked second on the American Film Institute’s list of the greatest American films, it remains captivating … and almost shockingly relevant, a dark mirror held up to an American fascination with power, wealth and privilege. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian clan’s rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleones family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo’s best-selling novel and starring Marlon Brando as the patriarch of the Corleone family, along with Al Pacino, James Cann and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered 10 Academy Award nominations and won three, including Best Picture.

The two-day event will also feature an exclusive commentary from TCM Host Ben Mankiewicz who will give insight into this classic film. Participating movie theaters in our neck of the woods include AMC Loews Stony Brook 17, 2196 Nesconset Highway, Stony Brook (at 2 and 7 p.m. on both days), Farmingdale Multiplex Cinemas, 1001 Broadhollow Road, Farmingdale (on June 4 at 2 p.m., June 7 at 2 and 7 p.m.) and Island 16 Cinema de Lux, 185 Morris Ave., Holtsville (on June 4 at 2 p.m., June 7 at 2 and 7 p.m.).

Theatre Three catches ‘Saturday Night Fever’

By SuSan RiSoli There’s no reason why Theatre Three’s musical version of “Saturday Night Fever” can’t stand on its own, despite starting life as a famous film that defined an era. Audiences who grew up knowing John Travolta as Tony Manero should have open minds, right? Even when the opening night crowd includes one theater patron reenacting the “he hits my hair” scene … and a lady reminiscing about falling off her platform shoes … and a couple boogie-ing down the aisle to take their seats. Fortunately for all, those memories Melanie acampora didn’t get in the way nicole Bianco during the show’s Kyle Breitenbach opening perforMeg Bush mance last Saturday Jessica Contino night. The cast, crew Debbi D’amore and musicians of this Corryn David version of “Saturday Vincent Donnadio Night Fever” make it alex Esquivel their own. We realize Mike Fales Brian Frank there will be subtlety Emily Gates at work here when Rachel Greenblatt the performance beEric Hughes gins and we are told Steven incarnato it’s July 1977, a swelKatie lemmen tering summer when Kyle Petty even Con Ed can’t Jeff Pangburn take the heat. Then, Bobby Peterson when the cast takes Dylan Robert Poulos the stage, they manSteven uihlein age to look wilted Beth Whitford and pent-up at the Mike Zeccola same time. There is a sweetness in the characters as this cast brings them to life, and that’s a good thing. Nobody would dare say John Travolta, Donna Pescow and their colleagues weren’t great in the movie. But they looked older, wiser, already cynical and too tough to convey the fear behind their bravado. Under the direction of Jeffrey Sanzel, the Brooklyn residents

Cast

on Theatre Three’s stage convince us that these people are kids, still in adolescence or barely out of it. They don’t know which way to turn — they’re lost and mixed-up. When the cast sings, “Life going nowhere, somebody help me,” we want to. Bobby Peterson as Tony Manero delivers the physicality the role demands. This Tony can strut! But beyond Tony’s frustration, Peterson shows us his confusion, and that serves the story well. Maybe the neighborhood isn’t really the center of the universe? Maybe women can do things reserved for men, and vice versa? Peterson lets us hear the wheels turning in Tony’s head. When Tony meets his match in localgirl-made-good Stephanie Mangano, Rachel Greenblatt brings a different shading to the role. Stephanie’s upward mobility seems less grasping here, her ambition less brittle. She’s more like a real person, biting off more than she can chew and dealing with it. Greenblatt too brings the physicality her character needs, and with it a simplicity and economy of movement. With cool confidence, she ties a pretty scarf around her waist, and instantly her sweaty dance clothes become a chic ensemble. We understand why Tony chases her. And then there’s Annette, played by Beth Whitford. As with all the actors, the youthful innocence of her interpretation of Annette makes the character more compelling. If anyone is trapped by the labels society slaps on you, it’s Annette. Nice girl? Whore? Young woman who makes her own rules? She doesn’t even know that other people don’t have the right to define her. We don’t know if she’ll end up victim or victor, but Whitford has us debating it long after the curtain comes down. Surprisingly, this production is funny. Yes, the film had its comedic moments, but everything else was so heavy we didn’t laugh long. Here the comedy is part of the character’s daily lives. Tony and his friends are kids, after all, and sometimes kids act

goofy. Also displaying skillful comedic timing are Jeff Pangburn as Frank Sr., Debbie D’Amore as Tony’s mother, and Steven Incarnato as Father Frank Jr. And do you have to be Italian to appreciate the show’s amusing cultural references? No, but it’s a sly treat if you are. And oh, the dancing, the costumes and the sets! Somehow we believe that the stage is a cavernous disco. When the full cast dances, it’s great fun to watch them. Remember that couple who take on Tony and Stephanie in the big dance contest? Their Latin dance routine is performed by Nicole Bianco and Alex Esquivel. Wow, just wow—control, passion and flow—something to see. Kudos to choreographer Whitney Stone, costume and wig designer Ronald Green III and scenic designer Randall Parsons for a job well done. With musical direction by Jeffrey Hoffman, all of the songs are wonderful. Some are the classic 1970s tunes we already know from the Bee Gees — “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever,” “Jive Talking,” “You Should Be Dancing,” and “How Deep is Your Love” — sung here as part of the developing story. The actors do a good job of bringing fresh meaning to old friends. There are new songs too, and they work well. Sometimes the characters in Theatre Three’s “Saturday Night Fever” are content. Sometimes they explode. Sometimes they don’t know what comes next, and neither do we. But they are well worth hanging out with. Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson will present ‘Saturday Night Fever’ through June 24. Tickets are $35 adults, $28 seniors and students, $20 children ages 5 to 12. Children under 5 are not permitted. Contains adult subject matter and language. For more information, call 631-9289100 or visit www.theatrethree.com.

Harnassing the Technology of our Research Giants

SPOTLIGHTING DISCOVERIES AT (1) COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB (2) STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY & (3) BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB

for the fifth week of May GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Do not get caught up in gossip and hearsay, Gemini. That can compromise your credibility at work and among friends. Stay focused on your responsibilities.

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Fan Ye has a vision for the future filled with high service and efficiency that doesn’t involve butlers or personal attendants. The assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Stony Brook University is focused on creating smart environments in which window blinds open as people pull into their driveways, lights turn off in unoccupied rooms and the building guides a new student turn by turn through complex floors and hallways from entrance to the registrar’s office. “The physical environment would be like a caring mother,” said Ye. It would sense and figure out people’s needs and “take care of the occupants inside the building.” In Ye’s vision, which he estimates is about one year to decades away from a reality, objects that rely on people to turn them on or off, reposition them or alter their settings would have chips embedded in them, working together to create an environment that anticipates and learns in response to the need around it. “With sensors, [a smart environment] can sense both physical conditions and human activities and adjust the environment in manners that create/improve comfort, safety, convenience” and the productivity of the occupant, he explained in an email. Ye recently received a $450,000 award over the next five years from the National Science Foundation for earlycareer faculty for his study of smart environments. The prestigious award is the highest honor given by the government to scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers. Initially, Ye is developing and testing a security system with the Stony Brook University Police Department and the Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology that grants specific access to buildings or facilities de-

pending on the specifications of an administrator. Many of the buildings on campus have electric locks, which someone can open with a badge where there’s a badge reader. A badge, however “isn’t that flexible,” Ye said. If an administrator would like to grant someone one-time access to open a door that doesn’t provide ongoing access, that is difficult to do with a badge system. “What’s lacking in this closed proprietary system is flexible access control, which can determine who has what access based on context factors,” he said. Ye, his team, the police department and the CEWIT are building a system that can enable greater flexibility that allows someone to open an office door for five minutes during a specific hour. “If any of these context factors is not satisfied, they don’t have access,” he said. Ultimately, he would like to construct a system using modern mobile technology, like smartphones, instead of physical badges. The system would include embedded security that employs modern cryptography so a hacker or attacker can’t trick the system. By using software and hardware security, Ye is hoping to develop a system that prevents the most common attacks at a reasonable cost, which he hopes would prevent someone from gaining access. Ye is building real systems and testing them. The cost-benefit of these systems depends on the object. A motor to open and close a window would cost money to manufacture, install and operate. As with any technological innovation, he said, “the question comes down to, How do you invest versus how much do you get in return?” Looking at the historical trend for computation resources, Ye said computing and storage costs are falling at an exponential rate, while the price for radio and sensing is also falling rapidly, although not at the same pace.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

While you shouldn’t compare yourself to others too often, once in a while, Cancer, it can illustrate just how far you have come. Why not compare against the person you once were?

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, you know what needs to get done. Now it is just a matter of finding the time to accomplish everything. Simplify things by writing all of your tasks down.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

You may have to explain your point of view over and over again before others see your way of thinking, Virgo. Don’t let this discourage you this week.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Fan Ye “I believe this trend will continue, especially for a lot of these objects that need small embedded systems” that can be manufactured at a scale with low cost, he continued. The process of turning the environment into an efficient, high-service system isn’t an allor-nothing proposition. Consumers might decide to focus on the air-conditioning or heat use in their homes. Other researchers are developing ways to harness the vibrational energy of movement or sound, which, conceivably, could power some of these electronics without requiring the delivery and consumption of more energy. Ye recognizes that these parts can and will break down and require repair, just as dishwashers sometimes stop working and iPhones can lose a list of contacts. So many small electronic parts in a smart environment could seem like an invitation to malfunctions. He likens the repair process to cloud computing, which allows small to medium-sized companies to rent computing resources from larger companies. “A smart environment, especially for public buildings like a university or office, could potentially run in a similar model,” he said. Individuals

might rely on IT support from dedicated personnel who, like a superintendent in a building, could be responsible for a host of smart products. A native of Hubei Province in China, Ye, who now lives in Setauket, loves to hike in national parks. His favorite is Canyonlands in Utah. Ye had worked at IBM for about 10 years before joining Stony Brook almost three years ago. While he was there, Ye worked on numerous projects, including distributed stream processing, cloud-based queueing and wide-area dependable messaging. “I learned tremendously at IBM,” he said. Ye is “”well known and respected in the mobile and wireless computing research community,” Hui Lei, an IBM distinguished engineer, wrote in an email. “He conducted pioneering work on scalable message delivery, robust coverage and security in wireless sensor networks, which are well received and highly cited and closely related to the smart environment work he is doing now.” Lei suggested that Ye’s experience and accomplishments provide him with a solid track record and he is “confident that [Ye] will be able to come up with innovative solutions in this area.”

Libra, once you are knee-deep in a project, you may not need to take frequent breaks. You’re ready to plow through to the finish line and reap the rewards of hard work.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, no matter which words come out of your mouth, others are compelled to listen when you speak. Recognize the impact your words can have on others.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Explaining a proposal may require some creative thinking, Sagittarius. Make a list of all the talking points and then narrow down your options this week.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, you tend to hold yourself to a very high standard because you always want to do your best the first time out of the gate. Others appreciate your dedication.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, sometimes it seems as if you have a sixth sense, especially where finding good deals are concerned. You’re happy to be the shopper of the family.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, extreme focus on a subject can be a help or a hindrance. Remember to remain flexible in the next few days.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

Prove yourself with actions instead of words, Aries. Your productivity will not speak for itself, so you may need to do some self-promotion to get the word out.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, your words will carry a lot of weight when you speak about a topic that is dear to your heart. Others might be inspired by your message, and you can recruit helpers.

Popular Living History Tours return to the Vanderbilt The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport will turn back the clock once again when it offers Living History Tours beginning on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday and Sunday, on May 27 and 28. The Vanderbilt has been called a “museum of a museum” — the mansion, natural history and marine collections galleries are preserved exactly as they were when the Vanderbilts lived on the estate. For more than a decade, Living History Tours have delighted visitors to the elegant 24-room, Spanish-Revival waterfront mansion, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These special, time machine events feature the Vanderbilts and their servants, who are portrayed by museum tour guides. The stories told on the tours are based on the oral histories of people who worked for the Vanderbilts as teenagers and young adults. Some stories originated in William K. Vanderbilt’s books of his world travels and extensive sea journeys. This summer it will be 1936 again. “The movie ‘Captains Courageous’ with Spencer Tracy is playing in the theaters, and Agatha Christie’s new novel, ‘Dumb Witness,’ is in the bookstores,” said Stephanie Gress, director of curatorial affairs. “Legendary aviator Amelia Earhart is lost at sea in July, and European leaders are faced with threats of German expansion. And the U.S. Post Office issues a commemorative stamp in honor of the women’s voting rights activist and social reformer Susan B. Anthony on the 30th anniversary of her death in 1906.” Earlier in 1936, New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia — who supported women’s voting rights — had been the keynote speaker at a dinner at the city’s Biltmore Hotel to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Women’s City Club in New York. The Living History presentation is set against this background of national and international news. LaGuardia is invited to Eagle’s Nest to join a few of the Vanderbilt family members including William K. Vanderbilt’s brother, Harold; his sister, Consuelo, the Duchess of Marlborough; and her guests Elizabeth Arden, Anne Morgan, and her nephew, Henry Sturgis Morgan, Gress said. Vanderbilt’s sister, Consuelo, and her guests reminisce about their younger days at suffragette rallies. Beginning Memorial Day weekend, the museum will display items in two guest rooms that commemorate the centennial of women’s right to vote in New York State.

The Living History cast Included will be an enlargement of the Susan B. Anthony stamp, suffrage banners and sashes and an authentic outfit worn in that era by Consuelo, the Duchess of Marlborough. (Vanderbilt’s mother, Alva, also had been active in the movement.) The Living History cast includes Peter Reganato as Mayor LaGuardia, who will be reading the comics in the kitchen and practicing for his radio address later that day. Ellen Mason will play Elizabeth Arden, who created the American beauty industry. Yachtsman Harold Vanderbilt

Religious

— Willie’s brother, three-time winner of the America’s Cup, and expert on contract bridge — will be portrayed by Jim Ryan and Gerard Crosson. Anne Morgan will be played by Judy Pfeffer and Beverly Pokorny. The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum, 180 Little Neck Road, Centerport will present its Living History Tours at regular intervals on summer weekend afternoons through Sept. 3. Tickets are $8 per person, available only at the door. For more information, please call 631-854-5579.

Senior Dorrien Van Dyke notched two goals and finished her Seawolves career second in goals with 197 and third in points with 268. Stony Brook also received goals from senior Kristin Yevoli, junior Samantha DiSalvo, sophomore Keri McCarthy and freshman Ally Kennedy. Yevoli added three ground balls, two draw controls and two caused turnovers and finishes in the top 10 in program history in all three categories. Sophomore Anna Tesoriero made 13 saves.

They will be paired with Seiskaya Ballet principal dancers Jenna Lee, Diana Atoian and Brianna Jimenez and join first soloists Amber Donnelly, Jamie Bergold, Graciela Carrero-Sagona and Ava Aubé in a series of exciting pas de deux. Among the pas de deux are “Paquita,” “Talisman,” “Le Corsaire,” “Harlequinade” and “Diana and Acteon,” plus the “Swan Lake” pas de trois.

Lippman. Set to the vibrant music of Charles Gounod and drawn from the opera “Faust,” “Walpurgis Night” loosely depicts the celebration of Bacchus (the god of wine and revelry), the Bacchantes (his priestesses) and Satyrs (his demigod attendants), on the eve of May Day. Three rousing character ballets are intertwined in the program. Featuring the tantalizing Gypsy Dance led by Jenna Lee, the jaunty Gypsy Pas pairing Max Lippman and Seiskaya first soloist Lara Caraiani and the robust ethnic dance Siberian round out the program. Tickets are on sale now through the BESFI Box Office at 631-584-0192 or at the door with adults, $30, children and seniors, $24 and groups of 20 or more, $20.

MEET PURDY! This little lady is Purdy and she’s waiting for her furever home at Kent Animal Shelter. You would never know it by the way she acts, but this adorable terrier is 7 years young! She’s full of life and love and is just looking for someone to share it with. Could that be with you? Purdy would love all of your attention, so she would like to be your one and only pet. She comes spayed, microchipped, de-wormed and up to date on her vaccines. Kent Animal Shelter is located at 2259 River Road in Calverton. For more information on Purdy and other adoptable pets at Kent, please call 631-727-5731 or visit www.kentanimalshelter.com. Photo courtesy of Kent Animal Shelter

‘A Stormy Night’

By Antonio Campisi Age 10, Ronkonkoma Thunder hits the earth with a boom as loud as a lion’s roar, Rain ferociously hits the roof like golf balls hitting wood, The wind howls like a coyote howling in the cold dark night, Trees sway violently in the wind like they are doing a dance, Lightning slashes the earth with great force turning things upside down, The sky suddenly lights up as lightning bolts hit the ground, Storm clouds grow to the size of large cities, Trees get uprooted as the wind howls like a wolf, Rain beats down on my doorstep like my friend knocking loudly on my door, Thunder shoots shock waves through the earth sending a chill down my spine, Rain soaks my window as I lay in my bed frightened, All of a sudden everything stops and it is peaceful again, A bright new day is dawning.

GIVING BACK

Teens from The Chai Center’s CTeen chapter in Dix Hills (CTeen West Suffolk County) recently shopped for and purchased more than 50 new toys that were donated to families living in the United Veterans Beacon House facilities in Nassau and Suffolk counties. United Veterans Beacon House Inc. is a not-for-profit charitable organization with a mission to provide transitional and permanent housing to U.S. military veterans

and men, women and women with children. The teens also baked cookies to be delivered with the toys. With over 200 chapters globally and tens of thousands of members, CTeen, the fastest growing Jewish teen network in the world, inspires and facilitates teens who want to give back to their community and environment, with an emphasis on positive character development. The CTeen Dix Hills chapter has more than 40 members and is based at The Chai Center (501 Vanderbilt

Parkway) and run by Rabbi Dovid Weinbaum. “The Talmud says that each person is a whole world and therefore by helping one person you’re helping the whole world. We are immensely proud of the teens in our chapter who continually embrace this idea and have made it a priority to think beyond themselves and give back to their community and those in need,” said Rabbi Weinbaum.
