cover story

It’s not easy being green, but ‘Shrek’ succeeds! Good reviews are like onions; they have layers . . .

By Michael Tessler Putting on “Shrek The Musical” is no easy feat. There are countless characters, huge set requirements, fantastical costumes and puppets both small and ... dragon-sized. Theatre Three’s bold production of “Shrek” takes these challenges in stride, resulting in a masterful production befitting the scope and size of its Broadway counterpart. Jeffrey Sanzel, the show’s director, is deserving of great praise as he takes on the task with his usual grace and theatrical virtuosity. His versatility as a director is to be commended, such range and vision is an unusually rare thing. As a frequent spectator of his work, I’m beyond grateful that he makes every show a thrilling new experience, and his interpretation of “Shrek” is certainly no exception to that rule. The production is filled with show-stopping numbers (21 of them!) and every song outdoes the previous. From the leads to the ensemble, each cast member delivers a spectacular performance worthy of the show’s Tonynominated score. One of my directors growing up would often remind me that a successful show lets people “leave their brains at the door” — it’s an escape from reality, and even the slightest mistake can upend that magical facade. This is why this production of “Shrek” was so uniquely satisfying. There was not a moment when I wasn’t fully swept up by the show’s phenomenal cast and harmonies. Our title character Shrek, played by Theatre Three newcom-

er Danny Stalter, was an absolute treat. Stalter plays upon the Mike Myers’ legacy but forges his own unique style that is both endearing and hugely rewarding. This dynamic character undergoes development in nearly every scene. This progression is captured beautifully by Stalter whose well-conceived performance only enhances the emotional moments. Shrek, while grotesque and green on the outside, has a beautiful voice that will send chills down your spine more than once. His partner-in-crime is a jackass, and by that I mean Donkey. Played with sass and master comedic timing by Bobby Montaniz, this hard not to love character steals the show and often! Admittedly his performance of “Make a Move” has been stuck in my head for hours, and I’m not complaining because it’s still making me laugh. In theater they say “there are no small roles, just small people,” which bring us to Lord Farquaad, the Lord of Duloc, played to perfection by Matt Senese. This miniature-sized dictator had me laughing so hard, I’m surprised they didn’t kick me out of the theater. Senese makes perfect use of his tiny costume legs, dancing, jumping and kick-lining fearlessly. As if being funny weren’t enough, he also has a voice that is sure to wow! Jenna Kavaler, a Theatre Three veteran, plays Princess Fiona flawlessly. Having just watched her performance in “Beau Jest,” I was amazed at her range as an actress. She is funny and wildly entertaining, especially during one particularly gassy sequence with Shrek. Her voice is beautiful but shines

best during her three-part harmony with her younger Fiona counterparts played by Leah Bloom and Ella Watts. Their performance of “I Know It’s Today” was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in local theater. Steve McCoy choreographs the show to perfection, while Jeffrey Hoffman masterfully manages musical direction. Robert W. Henderson Jr. lights up the show with expert design and Patrick Grossman brings to life some fantastic fairy tale costumes. All in all, this family-friendly production is the perfect way to spend a weekend! If you don’t believe me, see below for a few notes from my little cousins who joined me for this special review! Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson will present “Shrek the Musical” through June 25. Evening shows begin at a familyfriendly time of 7 p.m. Tickets range from $15 to $30. All are invited to a Director’s Dinner on the Second Stage on June 5 at 5:45 p.m. with Jeffrey Sanzel for a fascinating behind the scenes look of the making of “Shrek” following the 3 p.m. show. Tickets, which include dinner and a show, are $53 adults, $48 seniors and students, $45 children ages 6 to 12. For more information or to order tickets, call 631-928-9100 or visit www.theatrethree.com. Photo by Brian Hoerger, Theatre Three Productions Inc.

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

Stony Brook’s Johanna Jarcho peers into the minds of anxious adolescents

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Ever stare at the head of an anxious adolescent — wait, is that a redundant phrase? — and wonder, “What’s going on inside that head?” While Johanna Jarcho can’t read their minds, she can see areas of the brain that are active during different simulated social situations using a functional-MRI brain scan. Through her work, she found some areas of the brain are more active, or light up, with children who are isolated or feel socially withdrawn, compared with the same areas of children who are more socially comfortable. “The goal is to identify what is it about certain kids that are at risk that makes them resilient and what it is about those that develop the symptoms” of anxiety disorders, said Jarcho, who is an assistant professor of psychology at Stony Brook University, with joint appointments in the clinical area as well as the social and health areas. “If we can identify those kids who might be at risk, we can specifically target treatments for them,” she said. Jarcho, who Spotlighting discoveries at was part of a (1) Cold Spring Harbor Lab study that fol(2) Stony Brook University lowed the same (3) Brookhaven National Lab group of children from the time they were 2 until they were 11, published her research in the journal Psychological Science. She participated in this ongoing effort for the last four years. “One of the amazing thing about having this long-term data is that we’re still following these kids,” she said. “They are being evaluated now.” The children participating in the study are now 14. Understanding any signature activity in the brain could help with diagnosis, treatment or prevention of anxiety disorders, Jarcho said. Adolescence is rife with the kind of stresses that can create long-term anxieties. “Social anxiety disorder in particular has a very specific developmental trajectory,” Jarcho said. “If you don’t develop it by the time you’re in your early 20s, your probability of developing it is low.” She said 80 to 90 percent of those who experience social anxiety disorder develop it when they’re adolescents. Typical clinical measures, including selfreports from adolescents, aren’t good predictors for the development of anxiety disorders said Jarcho, who along with a host of scientists are using other biological measures, like MRI scans, in connection with clinical observations. Collaborators applauded Jarcho’s efforts and see clinical potential down the road from this type of study. “These findings definitely contribute to our understanding of the etiology of anxiety disorders,” Amanda Guyer, an associate professor in the Department of Human Ecology at the University of California, Davis, explained in an email. “This type of longitudinal work is critical to moving the field forward in understanding

Gathering information about anxiety and social interactions while children are in MRI machines required some creativity. The children are on their backs, laying perfectly still in a dark, metal tube, which aren’t conditions conducive to social interactions. Tapping into the next generation’s comfort with modern technology, Jarcho and her colleagues asked the children to create their own avatar, a cartoon version of themselves. While they are in the machine that monitors their minds, their avatars go through a range of social interactions. “This is one of the first studies where we were able to utilize a lot of different social nuances that we experience,” Jarcho said. “Using this, we are able to bring a good slice of the social world into this constrained environment.” These kinds of studies are in the early stages of development, said Jarcho, who made an avatar of herself. Researchers are using the latest technology to gather new insights about what patterns might lead to a range of longer-term emotional outcomes. Numerous factors contribute to the mental health of developing children, Jarcho said, which could make the interpretation or predictive value of any biological information difficult.“You have to collect a huge amount of data to identify complex patterns to make these meaningful clinical classifications,” she said, including the type of parenting a child receives. In the bigger picture, Jarcho is interested in understanding the mechanisms associated with having positive social interactions. She said she would like to know how neurobiology of normal social competence develops and what contributes to deficits in social competence. Jarcho, who joined Stony Brook last August, is also interested in pursuing other research goals, including determining what other people are picking up from someone who has a clinical disorder. She

wants to find the subtle signals that people use to interpret someone else’s behavior. She has tracked the eye movements of people observing others with clinical diagnoses to determine if there was something the socially anxious person was doing that signals an anxiety. Jarcho has added a few undergraduates to her lab and plans to start working with her first graduate student in August. Guyer, who has known Jarcho for five years and collaborated with her on writing research papers and grants, highlighted Jarcho’s dedication. “She cares deeply about conducting rigorous research that can have a positive impact on youth,” Guyer said. Jarcho and her husband Charles Best live in Port Jefferson with their rescue dog Tosh. A mathematician and software developer who was a researcher at Apple, Best is working with Jarcho on a startup effort called RSRCHR, which will provide neuroimaging researchers with a cloud-based platform to help maintain an infrastructure for fMRI data storage, management and analysis. They have a prototype Jarcho uses and are seeking funding to support their work. Starting in September, Jarcho plans to collaborate with Stony Brook Psychology Professor Greg Hajcak to look for a neural signature on how children react to their own errors. These signatures may suggest an increased risk for anxiety. Jarcho said she feels comfortable at Stony Brook. “The longer I’m at Stony Brook, the more I realize what a truly unique place it is,” she said. “The faculty in the Psychology Department has a tremendous interest and willingness to collaborate.”

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

The frustration of irritable bowel syndrome

It seems like I have more and more patients who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS can be a very frustrating disease for both the patient and the physician. IBS is very common, affecting about 20 percent of the population, according to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC), a division of the National Institutes of Health. For inflammatory bowel disease patients, there’s an even higher prevalence, with 30 to 35 percent of this population affected (1). The perception is that the symptoms are somewhat vague. They include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhea, according to the NDDIC. David Some patients have Dunaief, M.D. more of one type of bowel movement, diarrhea or constipation, than the other. Physicians use the Rome III criteria, an international effort to create scientific data to help in the diagnosis and treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders, plus a careful history and physical exam for diagnosis. However, there is not a specific medicine for this disease, though some have shown benefits. I think what epitomizes IBS is the colonoscopy study, where IBS patients who underwent colonoscopy had diagnostic findings that were nil. This tended to frustrate patients even more, not reduce their worrying, as the study authors had hoped (2). Rather, it plays into that idea that patients don’t have diagnostic signs, yet their morbidity (sickness) has a profound effect on their quality of life. Socially, it is difficult and embarrassing to admit having IBS. Plus, with a potential psychosomatic component, it leaves patients wondering if it’s “all in their heads.” IBS is also a considerable financial burden on the health care system (3). So, what can be done to improve IBS? There are a number of possibilities to consider.

The brain-gut connection The “brain-gut” connection, which is also known as mindfulness-based stress reduction, was used in a study with IBS. Those in the mindfulness group (treatment group) showed statistically significant results right after training and three months posttherapy in decreased severity of symptoms compared to the control group. Those in the treatment group were instructed to do meditation, gentle yoga and “body scanning” — focusing on one area of the body for muscle tension detection. The control group attended an IBS support group once a week. This was a small but randomized clinical trial, the gold standard of studies, which was eight weeks in duration (4). Recently, a preliminary study suggested there may be an association between IBS, migraine and tension-type headaches. The study of 320 participants — 107 with migraine, 107 with IBS, 53 with episodic tension-type headaches (ETTH) and 53 healthy individuals — identified significant occurrence crossover among those with migraine,

IBS and ETTH. Researchers also found that these three groups had gene mutations related to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Their hope is that this information will lead to more robust studies that could result in new treatment options (5). This may be another example of the importance of the brain-gut connection. In my practice, I have had patients who have complained of both abdominal pain and migraines together.

Gluten effect In a small randomized clinical trial, patients who were given gluten were more likely to complain of uncontrolled symptoms than those who were given a placebo (68 percent vs. 40 percent, respectively). These results were highly statistically significant (6). The authors concluded that nonceliac gluten intolerance may exist. Gluten sensitivity may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of a portion of IBS patients (7). I suggest to my patients that they might want to start out by avoiding gluten and then add it back into their diets to see the results. Foods containing gluten include anything made with wheat, rye and barley.

What about fructose? Some IBS patients may suffer from fructose intolerance. In a prospective (forward-looking) study, IBS patients were tested for this with a breath test. The results showed a dose-dependent response. When patients were given a 10 percent fructose solution, only 39 percent tested positive for fructose intolerance, but when they were given a 33 percent solution, 88 percent of patients tested positive. The symptoms of fructose intolerance included flatus, abdominal pain, bloating, belching and alternating bowel habits. The authors concluded that avoidance of fructose may reduce symptoms in IBS patients (8). According to another study, about onethird of IBS patients are fructose intolerant. When on a fructose-restricted diet, symptoms appeared to improve (9). This is a small change in lifestyle compared to the large beneficial impact it may have on IBS symptoms. Foods with high levels of fructose include certain fruits, like apples and pears, but not bananas.

excellent. Visits to the outpatient clinics were reduced by 75 percent. When appropriate, a lactose-restrictive diet is cost effective and a time savings according to the authors. This demonstrates that it is most probably worthwhile to test patients for lactose intolerance who have IBS.

Medications may be relevant There may be small intestine bacteria overgrowth in IBS patients. In a trial using an upper gastrointestinal scope, 37.4 percent of IBS patients had small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) (11). Interestingly, SIBO was found in 60 percent of IBS patients with predominantly diarrhea symptoms compared to only 27.3 percent without diarrhea symptoms. This was a statistically significant difference. The organisms found most commonly in SIBO were E. coli, Enterococcus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The authors suggest that this study reinforces clinical trials demonstrating a therapeutic role of nonabsorbable antibiotics in the treatment of IBS patients with small intestinal overgrowth.

What about probiotics? Treatment with probiotics from a study that reviewed 42 trials shows that there may be a benefit to probiotics, but the end points were different in each trial. The good news is that most of the trials reached one of their end points (12). Unfortunately, there were variations in magnitude of effect and choice of outcome. Probiotics do show promise, including the two most common strains, Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria, which were covered in this review. All of the above gives IBS patients a sense of hope that there are options for treatments that involve modest lifestyle changes and that may or may not include medications. I believe there needs to be a strong patient-doctor connection in order to choose the appropriate options that result in the greatest reduction in symptoms.

In many cases, simple changes in your diet and lifestyle can provide relief from irritable bowel syndrome.

Does lactose play a role? In another small study, about one-quarter of patients with IBS also turn out to have lactose intolerance. Two things are at play here. One, it is very difficult to differentiate the symptoms of lactose intolerance and IBS. The other is, if you couldn’t already surmise, most of the trials in IBS are small and there is a need for larger trials. Of the IBS patients that were also lactose intolerant, there was a marked improvement in symptomatology at both six weeks and five years when placed on a lactose-restrictive diet (10). Though the trial is small, the results were statistically significant, which is impressive. Both the durability and the compliance were

memorial day

Parade of Flags lifts spirits and promotes pride By Alex Petroski An idea that started as a seed about 15 years ago has sprouted into a full-blown tri-yearly tradition at North Shore Heritage Park in Mount Sinai. The Parade of Flags, which is the brainchild of Mount Sinai resident Fred Drewes, takes place three times a year on Memorial Day in May, Independence Day on July 4 and Veterans Day in November. The first Parade of Flags was on July 4, 2010. The retired biology and environmental science professor created the event to promote national pride, teach kids about history, recognize those who have served our nation and help to express a “sense of country.”

Parades The following Memorial Day parades and services will be held in remembrance and to honor our nation’s fallen war heroes:

Calverton

Calverton National Cemetery, 210 Princeton Blvd., Calverton will hold a Memorial Day service on May 30 at 1 p.m. For further information, call 631-727-5410.

’Seeing the flags on a sunny day with a little breeze — it’s just beautiful.’ — Paul DoDorico The parade occurs on the Avenue of America, which is a few hundred feet of the nearly one-mile perimeter of the park. The avenue features approximately 100 flags on parade days, which includes flags from all 50 states arranged in the order of when they ratified the Constitution, flags for United States territories, previous versions of the American flag, flags of U.S. armed forces and many more. Signs that provide information about when the state joined the Union, state mottos and pictures of state coins and symbols accompany the flags. The avenue is also lined by each state’s official tree. The flags are assembled in the morning on parade days by volunteers just before 9 a.m., and then retired at 4 p.m. “When people walk through the flags they just revel in the feeling and it also lifts spirits,” Drewes said in a phone interview last week. Drewes has created something truly special, though he often attributes credit to the Heritage Trust, a nonprofit organization responsible for overseeing the park, and other volunteers like the Boy Scouts and community members who make the event possible three times a year. “This is all something that Fred created — he never really gives himself much credit,” said Paul Dodorico, a Mount Sinai resident who volunteers with his wife Carol to help assemble and retire the flags, in a recent interview. “Seeing the flags on a sunny day with a little breeze —it’s just beautiful.” Dodorico added that it’s important for kids and adults alike to learn and remember why holidays like Memorial Day, Independence Day and Veterans Day are celebrated and indicated that Drewes has established an enjoyable and visually memorable way for community members to do just that. A guided tour of the avenue begins at 11 a.m. on Memorial Day. The park features some other patriotic imagery like the Court of America, which is a sitting area with benches, plaques with quotes from presidents and other famous citizens and a rock garden in the shape of the continental United States. The rock garden is full of symbolic rocks, plants and flowers that are native to the region in America where they lay in the corresponding region

of the garden. Blocks featuring the names of all 44 U.S. presidents and the years they held office border the garden. A scavenger hunt will be available to help visitors interpret the representations found in the landscape and Parade of Flags. The landscape, flags, plaques, plants, flowers and everything else that makes the avenue and park as a whole special were donated and arranged by volunteers.

Bob Koch of Koch Tree Services in Mount Sinai, who has had a hand in many features of the park including donating the state trees lining the avenue, also praised Drewes for his vision and hard work. “It really pays tribute to our country,” said Koch in an interview Monday. “It makes me appreciate being here.” Drewes has kept a visitor’s book containing testimonials from people who attended the Parade of Flags over the years. Accolades including “A wonderful experience to share with my kids!,” “Thanks for the history,” “Well done. A beautiful tribute to our country,” and “A remarkable display, schools should visit,” jump from the pages. Drewes said those thinking about attending the parade on May 30 should “expect to spend time and learn about the growth of our country and learn about the symbols and representations of states and territories of the United States.”

The 7th annual Memorial Day Parade of Flags will be held at Heritage Park, 633 Mount Sinai-Coram Road, Mount Sinai, on May 30 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free. Inclement weather cancels. For further information, call 631-509-0882 or visit www.msheritagetrust.org.

Identifying mystery floral trees By EllEn BarcEl Each spring we see trees covered with beautiful white and pink flowers. Many times we decide we want one or more in our own gardens. But, first we need to identify the specific tree. Recognizing

which is which can be relatively easy. For example, the Kwanzan cherry tree has beautiful double pink flowers. The small to medium sized trees, at maturity, tend to be wider than tall and for all practical purposes are sterile. You won’t get a crop of cherries from these but they are stunning.

Another common flowering tree is the dogwood. There are a number of varieties but the flowers — single, white or pink — have four petals on each flower. The ends of the petals usually have a notch at the end. Technically, they’re not petals but bracts, a variety of leaf. The flower is the very central part and is followed later in the season by berries. Sometimes you can identify a tree by ruling out what it isn’t. Pear tree flowers are white, so if you have pink flowers, it’s probably not a pear tree. Most apple trees have pink buds but the buds open to white flowers. Frequently each spring we see a number of pink flowers that are not so easy to identify. If you’ve fallen in love with the tree, you need to identify it in order to acquire one or more of your own. Many years ago a pink-flowering tree seeded itself in my backyard. For many years it bore beautiful flowers but never any fruit. I never did identify it, assuming that it was some sort of fruit tree. It lived out its life there until one spring its flowers and leaves never sprouted. It went as quietly as it had come. I was really disappointed when I had to cut it down. More recently two flowering trees sprung up in my front yard. Each spring they are covered in beautiful pink flowers. They bear fruit, so I know the answer — they are peach trees. Unfortunately, the peaches are small, green and bitter, but the trees are beautiful so I keep them for their flowers and shade. But, what if you see a pink-flowering tree with no fruit — it could be harder to figure out what it is. There are a number of ways to attack this problem. Start by taking one or more pictures of the flowers, leaves and bark. The flowers disappear quickly and are frequently one of the easiest ways of identifying the plant. With pictures you have a reference. If the gardener is around, ask him or her or ask an arborist or an extension educator. To identify the tree by yourself:

◆ Look at the flowers — their general description, shape and how many petals they have. ◆ Check out the leaves. Their color (green or burgundy) will be a clue as well as their shape and size. Many crab apples, for example, have burgundy leaves as do some plums. ◆ The bark of various trees can be quite different so don’t forget to check it out. ◆ If possible, go back to the tree after the flowers have fallen and the fruit appears. ◆ When does the tree bloom? The garden variety of dogwood, Cornus florida, even the pink-flowering ones, tend to bloom a good month earlier than the Kousa dogwood. ◆ How big is the overall mature height of the tree and what is its shape? Now, with your photos in hand, check out the various characteristics against descriptions and pictures either online or in a guide to trees. I use the “National Audubon Society Field Guide to Trees, Eastern Region.” It is a great source to identify trees in general, since it has full color photos of flowers, leaves, fruit/nuts, bark, etc. If going online, enter as much information you have into the search engine as possible. You’ll notice that fruit trees (apple, crabapple, peach, etc.) tend to have flowers with five petals while dogwood has only four. Check the center of the flower. What color is it? The shape of the petal is helpful. Are they long and thin or more rounded? Cherry blossoms tend to have a small split at the end of each petal while plum petals do not. The leaves of cherry trees tend to be flat while those of plums are curled lengthwise. The bark is a great indicator also. Cherry trees tend to have bark that has horizontal markings while plum trees do not. Good luck in identifying your mystery plant!

TBR CELEBRATES 40 YEARS WITH SUNSET CRUISE P.T. Barnum Ferry May 19, 2016

Anniversary Forty years ago during America’s bicentennial, our publisher and founder Leah Dunaief set out with a simple goal: to make a publication that would deliver excellence each and every week. What started as The Village Times has grown into a newspaper and multimedia group spanning communities from Wading River to Huntington and Cold Spring Harbor. To celebrate our 40th anniversary and our many accomplishments through the decades, we embarked on a beautiful sunset cruise aboard the P.T. Barnum Ferry, sailing across the North Shore along with some 300 guests and members of the Times Beacon Record staff. This sunset cruise was a real party, complete with an honorary cruise di-

rector (Michael Tessler), delicious catering by Elegant Eating, the vocal talents of the Stony Brook University High C’s all-male A Cappella group, music and dancing from Dynamike Entertainment, as well as an exclusive sneak peek of our upcoming digital attraction the “Culper Spy Adventure” (with special thanks to Circadian Studios). Much to the surprise of the audience was also an exciting live-action sequence featuring local hero and swashbuckling whaleboat captain turned patriot lieutenant, Caleb Brewster, as well as members of the Third NY regiment and cast of our soon to be released film. Many dignitaries joined the celebration including Assemblyman Steve Englebright, Suffolk Comptroller John M. Kennedy, Jr. and Legislator Leslie Kennedy. They presented publisher Leah Dunaief with a proclamation, and Englebright spoke of the importance of local news and of our valuable impact in the community over the years. “I’ve lived in Suffolk County all my life, ladies and gentlemen, two months short of sixty years. I love this county and I know it would be far less of a

Get to know a Long Island winery

Palmer Vineyards 5120 Sound Ave. Riverhead

Palmer Vineyards is located on scenic sound Avenue in riverhead. Palmer Vineyards is rebranding. Fans of the vineyard, which opened its doors in 1983, should expect the same approachable feel to both the wines and the atmosphere at Palmer. The vineyard is maintaining many of the features that make it one of the best on Long Island, like being certified sustainable, but some upgrades and new features are on the way and should be completed in time for Memorial Day weekend, according to Director of Operations Ken Cereola. “People feel really, really welcome when they come here,” Cereola said in an interview on Palmer’s grounds last week, stressing their rebranding plan won’t compromise their comfortable feel. “We’re not standoffish, we’re not too pretentious.” Palmer’s rebranding efforts include new labels on the bottles, some expanded out-

door seating areas outside of the tasting room, a brick oven on site for fresh made pizzas, a food truck and events geared toward education for inquiring wine minds. Chef Anna Aracri from Oceans 5 Seafood Market and Eatery in Shoreham handles food at the winery. One such event, called the Plant. Pick. Pour. Wine Series 2016 is a three-part series in an intimate, interactive setting where participants can learn about the entire wine-making process over the course of three landmark dates that a vineyard incurs in a given year. On June 11 the focus will be on Palmer’s unique grape varietals, why they work so well in Long Island’s climate and what makes its vineyard so versatile. On Sept. 10, it will be time to start preparing for the 2017 vintage’s harvest. Finally, on Dec.

3 guests will have the opportunity to taste the unreleased 2017 wines before they go on sale. All three events will feature wine tasting, food pairing and information from Palmer’s knowledgeable and well-traveled winemaker Miguel Martin. Tasting room manager Evan Ducz is particularly excited for the series and said the response has been great in anticipation of the first event on June 11. Despite the educational feel, he reiterated Cereola’s assessment that the goal is to be informative without intimidating wine enthusiasts of varying experience. “From the staff to the management, I think we make people feel really comfortable,” he said. “Comfortable about wine, which can be intimidating at times, and I think we also give off a really relaxed vibe, a very inviting atmosphere.”

Some other events at Palmer include Yoga in the Vines every Sunday, which is followed by brunch featuring breakfast pizza from their brick oven; a yearly kick-off to a fall harvest festival featuring live music, food and of course—wine; extended hours to 9 p.m. on Friday nights to start the weekend; and by-appointment winemaker tours. Martin will have been at Palmer as its winemaker for a decade in the fall. Martin is from Spain and as Cereola puts it, has made wines all over the world. His diverse and substantial experience and knowledge gives Palmer a unique element not widely found on Long Island. He blends with grapes more commonly associated with other regions and also bottles an Albariño, a dry yet fruity white that usually comes from Spain. “He’s a hell of a winemaker, but he’s an even better person,” Cereola said of Martin. “He’s a great guy to be around. He definitely doesn’t just make his wine and then go home. He’s a part of every aspect here.” Ducz echoed Cereola’s comments about Martin. “As far as just being a tasting room manager the thing that I most appreciate about him is that you can go to him with any question,” Ducz said. For those who can’t make it out to Riverhead to visit Palmer, some of the wines worth trying from a local wine store include its Rosé of Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Old Roots Merlot, according to Cereola and Ducz. I also recommend the Chardonnay. The combination of Palmer’s team, products, atmosphere and events should place the vineyard toward the top of any list of must-visit North Shore destinations for Long Island residents.

It was planned as a “living Williamsburg” recognizing the historic importance of the village “where culture would blend with natural beauty as a part of everyday life — the first planned business center in the U.S.” Interestingly, the selection of Stony Brook as the site for this center came about by accident. The Melville family was on its way to the South Fork when, taking the wrong train, they found themselves in Stony Brook. “[Frank and Jenny] fell in love with the area,” noted Stephanie Ruales, special events coordinator at the WMHO. They vacationed in the area and finally, son Ward Melville planned the Stony Brook Village Center. The WMHO has mounted a special exhibit, “It Takes A Team To Build A Village,” which will run now through Sept. 7, to display the memorabilia associated with the history of the center. “We started to look for a couple of pictures and found so much,” said Gloria Rocchio, president of the WMHO and exhibit curator. “What’s very interesting to me, what I didn’t know, was that Jenny Melville [Ward Melville’s mother] was Canadian and that she bought up property here in the early 1930s, the Depression. When she died, Ward Melville picked up the gauntlet. She was the one who started the garden club — the tea house (later becoming the Three Village Inn) at the old homestead,” said Rocchio. Co-curated by Ruales and Rocchio with help from Karen Kennedy, the exhibit consists of dozens of enlargements of historic photos, showing the village before, during and after the construction as well as the original blueprints for the village center and letters documenting the purchase of the land.

dition, there’s the original model of the proposed village center used by Melville to present the proposal to the village back in 1940. The exhibit also includes some items from the 1940s, representative of the time. Just a year later, July of 1941, the new village center was completed. Over the years, various businesses have come and gone, including a four-lane bowling alley in the basement of one of the buildings. In the early 1940s, the automatic pin setting machine didn’t exist, so pinsetters, usually young men, stayed down by the pins, ready to reset them after each bowler’s turn. When searching out the historic photos and documents, Ruales noted that they found an eight-millimeter film of the grand opening of the center, “something we didn’t know that we had. We had it converted” to a DVD and it is running on a loop at the exhibit.

Kittens as young as 4 months and puppies as young as 5 months can get pregnant and have their first littler just two months later. The Kent Animal Shelter, 2259 River Road, Calverton is offering affordable spay/neuter services for the month of June for only $20 as part of its Precious, Not Parents campaign sponsored by PetSmart Charities. Puppy or kitten must be under 6 months of age. Visit www.KentAnimalShelter.com or call 631-7275731, ext. 2, for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Bereavement support group One of the unique features of the village center is the mechanical eagle on top of the Stony Brook Post Office, which flaps its wings every hour on the hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Noted Marie Gilberti, communications manager at WMHO, Ward Melville himself, “planned and instituted,” the eagle.

Junior Christine eisenberg qualified to compete in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in the nCaa First round.

Stony Brook track and field junior Christine Eisenberg has qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships First Round in the women’s 3000-meter steeplechase. Eisenberg will run in the event on Friday, May 27, in Jacksonville, Florida. “This is a fantastic achievement for Christine,” said Stony Brook head coach Andy Ronan. “Last Friday night at Princeton University she put together her best performance as a Seawolf. We have been waiting for this type of performance from her and she had shown to us that she was capable of it in training and at other races. Christine is another example of a studentathlete that came into this program unheralded, but bought into what we are about, worked hard, and now is on her way to the first round of the NCAAs. It’s exciting.” Eisenberg will run the night of May 27 at the East regional hosted by North Florida. The top 48 athletes in the region qualified to go to Jacksonville. Ronan said the team nearly had a second qualifier in Kaylyn Gordon.

‘Christine is another example of a studentathlete that came into this program unheralded, but bought into what we are about, worked hard, and now is on her way to the first round of the NCAAs.’ — Andy Ronan “The ECAC Champion just missed out by three spots and was No. 51 on the declared list,” he said of the jumper and sprinter. “Kaylyn is a sophomore with a lot of talent so I have no doubt she will be making this trip in the not-too-distant future.” The top 12 finishers on May 27 will advance to the semifinal and final rounds at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, to be hosted by the University of Oregon June 8-11.

SBU splits doubleheader on senior day Seawolves drop game one, 1-0, and earn 4-0 victory in game two After the Stony Brook baseball team honored its five four-year members of the 2016 senior class, the Seawolves split a doubleheader with visiting University at Albany at Joe Nathan Field Saturday. The Seawolves (24-25, 13-9 AE) were edged out by the Great Danes (21-28, 9-14 AE), 1-0, in the first game, and bounced back for a 4-0 victory in the second, but took the series, 2-1, with a 7-1 win in game one. The senior class of Johnny Caputo, Tyler Honahan, Tim Knesnik, Chad Lee and Jack Parenty were honored prior to the start of the doubleheader. Lee, who guided the Seawolves to the 7-2 victory in the series opener against the Great Danes, was named the America East Conference Pitcher of the Week for the third time. He tossed five innings, allowed no runs on just two hits and struck out eight batters in game one of the series. With the score tied at zero in the fifth inning in game two, Albany took advantage

of a first and third situation and pulled off a double steal. Kyle Sacks took off for second and after a throw to second, Kevin Donati headed for home and beat the throw for what ended up being the game-winning run. Caputo capped his regular season career as a Seawolf with three hits in the second game to go along with two runs scored. Honahan picked up his 20th career win and fifth of the season after he tossed four shutout innings in game two. Freshman left-handed pitcher Joe Baran, junior right-handed pitcher Connor Doyle and sophomore left-handed pitcher Cole Creighton joined Honahan in the shutout. The trio combined to hold Albany to just three hits over the final five innings. “Another excellent job by our pitching staff,” Stony Brook head coach Matt Senk said. “It was an extremely hard luck loss by us in the first game, but I’m proud of the way the guys came back in the second game. Now we turn our full attention to the tournament.”

Stony Brook broke its scoring drought in the second inning of the third game of the series. After leading the bases, junior center fielder Toby Handley walked with the count 3-2, which forced Caputo in from the third. The run proved to be all the Seawolves needed. Junior right fielder Casey Baker collected at least one hit in each game on Saturday and has now reached base safely in 20 straight games. Sophomore third baseman Bobby Honeyman had at least one hit in each game on Saturday and has now reached base safely in 13 straight games. The Seawolves will be the No. 3 seed in the America East Conference championship, held in Lowell, Massachusetts. Stony Brook faced No. 6 University of Maine on Wednesday afternoon, but results were not available by press time. File photo from SBU

Top, a photo captures construction underway at the Stony Brook Village Center in 1940; above, a model of the Village Center that Ward Melville showed to community members will be on view at the exhibit. Future events connected with the 75th anniversary include a ceremony on July 9 recreating the 25th anniversary celebration. “We’re going to have antique cars from each decade in the village,” said Rocchio. A talk by her is also planned for the future. “There are so many things I’ve been taught by Mrs. Melville [Dorothy Melville,

Religious

Ward’s wife] that no one knows. I worked for her for 10 years. She was the president” of the WMHO. “I was the Administrator at that time.” Rocchio added that putting together the exhibit and various events connected with it “has been a labor of love.” The exhibit is currently on display at WMHO’s Educational and Cultural Center,

97P Main Street, Stony Brook through June 19 (Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and June 20 through Sept. 7 (daily, 10 a.m. through 5 p.m.) — closed Memorial Day and July 4.

But, the eagle was installed for a few years, with its wings flapping up and down, when Melville decided he didn’t like the way it looked. The eagle was taken down and reconfigured, so that the wings flap back and forth now. Melville also had the Dogwood Hollow Amphitheater constructed opposite the bank in Stony Brook. Concerts were held there through the 1950s and 60s. “Big name” entertainers performed at the concert, noted Rocchio. They included Liberace, Ferrante and Teicher, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Louis Armstrong, Pete Seeger, Victor Borge, the Clancy Brothers and Lionel Hampton. “Mr. Melville paid for it himself,” Gilberti added. But, unfortunately, the concerts outgrew the venue and were stopped in 1970. Today, live concerts are still held, but in front of the post office, sponsored by the WMHO. “We’re going to have a concert from each decade this summer,” said Rocchio. She noted that a history of Dogwood Hollow will be on display at the Jazz Loft, 275 Christian Ave., in a building (originally the fire house) owned by the WMHO. The Jazz Loft will be a center for music education. It is open through Saturday, May 28, from noon to 5 p.m. Beginning June 2, it will be open Thursday through Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. For details, events and performers, go to www.thejazzloft.org. Beginning in September, Swing Dance Long Island is schedule to hold its dances there. According to Ruales, the whole idea for the exhibit came from Rocchio. “She was in charge of the exhibit.” It was her idea “to celebrate [the anniversary] and … for people to come and see the history,” of the area. The name for the exhibit, “It Takes A Team To Build A Village,” came about because “we are honoring a lot of people who were involved in constructing the center. It’s a huge village center,” added Gilberti.
