festival

Boater’s Maritime Festival arrives in Port Jefferson To celebrate its rich maritime heritage, the Village of Port Jefferson, in partnership with the New York Marine Trade Association, will present the 4th annual Port Jefferson Boater’s Maritime Festival on June 6 and 7 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The two-day festival will take place throughout the village and showcase Port Jefferson Harbor, one of the most popular deep-water harbors on Long Island. The event will host the Port Jeff Boat Show with over 50 boats on display and dozens of fishing vendors. Sailing demonstrations will take place on the harbor as well as a regatta on Sunday at 2 p.m. Maritime-related attractions, museums and organizations will take part along with free open demos of kayaks, inflatable boats and paddleboards. Fly-

board Long Island will present extreme water sport demonstrations throughout the day. Hop aboard the Seastreak — the new high-speed ferry that runs from Manhattan to Port Jefferson — at 2 p.m. at the Harborfront Park and tour this state-of-the-art 149-passenger vessel.

New this year is the Paddle Battle Long Island Port Jefferson Race on June 6 at 1 p.m. at the Harborfront Park. The 2.5-mile recreational race will include kayak and stand-up paddleboards, each in separate categories.

This fun-filled day of races will help raise money for notfor-profit organizations such as the United Way of Long Island VetsBuild Program, the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation and the East End Tourism Alliance. Sign up at paddlebattleli.com.

A Coastal Steward beach cleanup, sailing demos and a Port Jefferson Chamber clam-eating contest at 2 p.m. at the Harborfront Park are among the other exciting and interactive events taking place throughout the village and throughout the day. There will also be live 15-minute animal presentations and arts and crafts at the park.

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

Thyroid nodules: What do they really mean? by 200 percent. The study authors call for a need for more detailed guidelines, which are lacking for thyroid nodules.

Though the number of cancers diagnosed has increased, the mortality rate has remained relatively stable over several decades at about 1,500 patients per year (7). Thyroid nodules in this study were least likely to be cancerous when the initial diagnosis was by incidental radiologic exam.

DIFFERENTIATING WHEN FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION RESULTS ARE INDETERMINATE

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

It is very interesting that the amount of coverage by the lay press concerning thyroid nodules does not reflect the number of people who actually have them. In other words, more than 50 percent of people have thyroid nodules detectable by high resolution ultrasound (1); however, when I searched the New York Times website, the last time it wrote about them was in 2010.

Regardless, you can understand how coverage should be more in the forefront. Fortunately, most nodules are benign. A small percent, 4 to 6.5 percent, are malignant, and the number varies depending on the study (2).

Thyroid nodules are being diagnosed more often incidentally on radiologic exams, such as CT scans of the chest, MRI scans, PET scans and ultrasounds of the carotid arteries in the neck (3).

There is a conundrum of what to do with a thyroid nodule, especially when it is found incidentally. It depends on the size. If it is over one centimeter, usually it is biopsied by fine needle aspiration (FNA) (4). This is the cutoff point for asymptomatic nodules found with a radiologic exam. Most are asymptomatic. However, if there are symptoms, these might include difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, pain in the lower portion of the neck and a goiter (5).

FNA biopsy is becoming more common. In a recent study evaluating several databases, there was a greater than 100 percent increase in thyroid FNAs performed over a five-year period from 2006 to 2011 (6). This resulted in a 31 percent increase in thyroidectomies, surgeries to remove the thyroid partially or completely. However, the number of thyroid cancers diagnosed with the surgery did not rise in this same period. To make matters even more confusing, from 2001 to 2013, the number of thyroid cancers increased

As much as 25 percent of FNA biopsies are indeterminate. We are going to look at two modalities to differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid nodules when FNA results are equivocal: a PET scan and a molecular genetics test. A meta-analysis (a group of six studies) of PET scan results showed that it was least effective in resolving an unclear FNA biopsy. The PET scan was able to rule out patients who did not have malignancies significantly but did not do a good job of identifying those who did have cancer (8).

On the other hand, a recent molecular-based test was able to potentially determine whether an indeterminate thyroid nodule by FNA was malignant or benign (9). This test was a combination of microRNA gene expression classifier with the genetic mutation panel. I know the test combination sounds confusing, but the important takeaway is that it was more effective than previous molecular tests in clarifying whether a patient had a benign or cancerous nodule.

Unlike in the PET scan study above, the researchers were able to not only rule out the majority of malignancies but also to rule them in. It was not perfect, but the percent of negative predictive value (ruled out) was 94 percent, and the positive predictive value (ruled in) was 74 percent. The combination test improved the predictive results of previous molecular tests by 65 to 69 percent. This is important to help decide whether or not the patient needs surgery to remove at least part of the thyroid. The trial used hospital-based patients, but follow-up studies need to include community-based practices.

IS A NEGATIVE FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION DEFINITIVE?

We know that FNA is the gold standard for determining whether patients have malignant or benign thyroid nodules. However, a negative result on FNA is not always definitive for a benign thyroid nodule. When this occurs, it is referred to as a false negative result.

In a recent retrospective (looking back at events) study, from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database in Taiwan, 62 percent of thyroid nodules that were cancerous were diagnosed with one bi-

opsy and 82 percent were found within the year after that biopsy (10). However, about 17 percent of patients needed more than two FNA biopsies, and 19 percent were diagnosed after one year with cancerous thyroid nodules.

THE POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANCE OF CALCIFICATION ON ULTRASOUND

Microcalcifications in the nodule can be detected on ultrasound. The significance of this may be that patients with microcalcifications are more likely to have malignant thyroid nodules than those without them, according to a small prospective study involving 170 patients (11). This does not mean necessarily that a patient has malignancy with calcifications, but there is a higher risk. The results demonstrated that more than half of the malignant thyroid nodules, 61 percent, had microcalcifications.

THE GOOD NEWS

As I mentioned above, most thyroid nodules are benign. The results of a recent study go even further, showing that most asymptomatic benign nodules do not progress in size significantly after five years (12). This was a prospective (forward-looking) study involving 992 patients with between one and four benign thyroid nodules diagnosed cytologically (by looking at the cells) or by ultrasound. The factors that did contribute to growth of about 11 percent of the nodules were age (<45 years old had more growth than >60 years old), multiple nodules, greater nodule volume at baseline and being male.

The authors’ suggestion is that the current paradigm might be altered and that after the follow-up scan, the next ultrasound scan might be five years later instead of three years. However,

they did discover thyroid cancer in 0.3 percent after five years.

In considering risk factors, it’s important to note that those who had a normal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were less likely to have a malignant thyroid nodule than those who had a high TSH, implying hypothyroidism. There was an almost 30 percent prevalence of cancer in the nodule if the TSH was greater than >5.5 mU/L (13).

The bottom line is that there is an urgent need for new guidelines regarding thyroid nodules. Fortunately, most nodules are benign and asymptomatic, but the number of cancerous nodules found is growing. We are getting better at diagnosing nodules. Why the death rate remains the same year over year for decades may have to do with the slow rate at which most thyroid cancers progress, especially two of the most common forms, follicular and papillary.

rainfall and Long island gardening

By EllEn BarcEl

The last two years have been interesting weatherwise on Long Island. The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which predicted a cold and snowy winter for 2013-14, and yes it was, also predicted a hot and rainy summer. As far as the hot part is concerned, it was one of the coolest summers in many years. So much for the hot part!

The wet part, well that’s a different story, kind of. Through early August we were below average. The average rain at Brookhaven National Lab in Upton for June, July, August and September hovered around four inches each of those months — a little above, a little below. June’s actual rainfall was just a little over two inches and July’s was about two and a half — definitely below average. Last fall and early winter, however, gave us plenty of rain. Last winter (2014-15) was incredibly cold and snowy.

While the meteorologists didn’t talk “polar vortex” as they had the winter before, the almanac did predict a very cold winter, and yes, it was. But spring, so far has been relatively cool and dry.

Because rainfall on Long Island can vary so much from not only year to year but week to week, gardeners needed to keep an eye on it so that their gardens thrive. On average, it rains once every three or four days, but we can go for weeks in the summer with little or no rain or have it rain every day for a solid week or more.

Not only does rainfall vary timewise but geographically as well. August 13’s, 2014, record 13 plus inches of rain in south-

Flowering quince, once established, is somewhat drought tolerant and has lovely red flowers in the spring. By planting drought-tolerant plants, you’re less likely to have to spend your time irrigating your garden.

western Suffolk County (the Islip area in particular) flooded roads that tied up traffic, but the North and South forks got less than an inch of rain from that storm. So eastern Suffolk gardeners were watering their plants while western and central Suffolk gardeners were pumping out flooded basements.

So, place a rain gauge in your garden where it can accurately measure how much rain your garden has received.

Make sure that the gauge is not under bushes, for example, which can cover the gauge’s opening. Check your gauge periodically. You can then adjust your added

watering accordingly.

Most of us have very sandy soil. We need to be particularly concerned with weeks and weeks of no or little rain during the summer. We need to supplement what Mother Nature provides, particularly with plants such as tomatoes or hydrangeas, both of which need a steady supply of water. Tomato plants that dry out can result in blossom end rot. Grass should receive about

an inch a week. Remember that since most of us have very sandy soil, even torrential rain, say two or more inches at once, drains quickly into the soil, and a few days later you may need to water. Also, containers dry out more quickly than plants in the ground.

Some of us have clay soil or live in an area where the water table is very high. For those gardeners, it’s not a question of getting enough rain; it can be controlling too much water or finding plants that do well in very wet soil.

If you have an area where lots of water drains into the soil, say from your roof top, you might want to consider a rain garden.

This basically consists of a depressed area, frequently with a berm around it, which acts like a recharge basis (a sump) for the island’s water table. If you have an area where water virtually never drains, you might consider a bog garden. Plants that enjoy “wet feet” do well here.

Using native plants is an option and will make it easier for the gardener. Native plants are adapted to Long Island’s periods of rain and drought and need little tending.

More on native plants, rain gardens and bog gardens in future weeks.

Place a rain gauge strategically in your garden so you can see how much rain you’re getting each week and adjust your irrigation schedule accordingly. above, the gauge shows that approximately four inches of rain/irrigation were received at that spot in the garden in just a few days.

Meringue Cookies

Meringue cookies are so airy, sweet and crisp that they seem to melt in your mouth.

Nicknamed “forgotton kisses,” they could also be called “leave me alone” cookies.

Made from sweetened egg whites that have been whipped until white and shiny, the secret is baking them very slowly at a low temperature for over 3 hours until the cookies are dry and crisp but not browned.

Serve with ice cream, fresh fruit, whipped cream or pudding.

Garden tour in Mt. Sinai

The Garden Conservancy will hold an Open Days Program on Long Island on June 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In our neck of the woods, Ann and Walter Becker of 42 Jesse Way, Mt. Sinai have agreed to open their beautiful garden to the public for self-guided tours.

The Becker garden resembles a painting — each year a new canvas begins. The many paths within the gardens create an opportunity to view seasonal changes up close or from a distance. Shade and fullsun flower beds, with plants packed closely together to enhance their color and tex-

ture, add to the ambiance and enjoyment for visitors.

A variety of seating areas are available and water features, hundreds of shrubs, trees and perennials, as well as container plantings and landscape art further enhance the ever-changing experience and add to the seasonal enjoyment of this garden.

No reservations required. Held rain or shine. $7 per person, children 12 and under free. Proceeds will benefit the Garden Conservancy. For more information, visit www.opendaysprogram.org.

The musical “The Producers” opened at the John W. Engeman Theater in Northport last week and did not disappoint. Adapted by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan from Brooks’ 1968 film of the same name, it tells the story of a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer, Max Bialystock.

Once nicknamed the “King of Broadway,” Bialystock has recently produced a series of turkeys (“…the critics left at intermission”); so he must produce a hit or go broke. His easily swayed, near psychotic auditor Leopold Bloom shows him how to make millions by producing a flop! Both rummage through a pile of manuscripts until they find one entitled “Springtime for Hitler,” extolling the virtues of the Nazi party. Putting this one on had to be a failure! Off they go in search of the author and to find an “angel.”

Stuart Zagnit and Joel Newsome played the hilarious plotters as Max and Leo, respectively. They were so contrasted as the Machiavellian hard-as-nails fixer to the trembling, quivering weaker partner who still carries a piece of his infant security blanket. Both have lively tenor voices — Zagnit the mighty organ, Newsome the exquisite violin.

Gina Milo, as Ulla the voluptuary, had all the right (and left) moves, topping this panoply of pleasure with a powerful soprano. Her “If You Got It, Flaunt It” number expressed it all.

The two plotters find their author in Franz Liebkind played by John Plumpis — a wacko Nazi in Luftwaffe steel helmet, imitation jackboots and a stick — he is all over the boards intoning a somewhat mangled German accent but coming on quite strong in Act II’s “Der Guten Tag Hop-Clop” and in Act II’s “Haben Sie GehÖrt Das Deutsche Band?”

The gay community is well represented with Roger DeBris, handled smooth-

ly by Ian Knauer, and Carmen Ghia, played languidly by Christopher Sloan.

Knauer is well over the two-yard mark, leading one to believe that height was a requisite. Why? Because the height of the lissome female ensemble only added to their beauty, referring to Emily Blake Anderson, Molly Jean Blodgett, Mary Callahan and Laura Otremba. A marvelous performance, especially those kicks.

Choreography was by the ubiquitous and deeply talented Antoniette DiPietropolo with direction by Igor Goldin.

DiPietropolo had a massive job on her hands. The cast was large and the ensemble equally so. Yet, as usual, she brought out a clear terpsichorean reality, including one done in walkers. Goldin was similarly charged with clear individualization and interpretation of characters.

He succeeded handily.

At this juncture your scribe must reveal his impressions of the show’s music.

James Olmstead leads a six-piece outfit featuring the incomparable Joe Boardman on trumpet, the trombones of Brent Chiarello and Frank Hall, Russ Brown on bass, Mark Katz on reeds and Josh Endlich on percussion driving it along.

Boardman has a tone redolent of Charlie Shavers with a whiff of Dizzy Gillespie. The sound of gunshots in Act II was actually rimshots by Endlich. Talk about accurate cuing. In fact, after final curtain this group did a little jamming.

Your scribe was loath to leave his seat so much was he enjoying a trip down 52nd Street in the late forties.

This was a beautifully mounted production — something the Engeman is quite good at.

The John W. Engeman Theater will present “The Producers” through July 12.

Tickets are $69. For more information, please call the box office at 631-261-2900 or visit www.engemantheater.com.

Culper Spy Day — Our Revolutionary Story comes to the Three Villages on June 20

By BarBara russell

“By the 29th inst I expect to hear further from C_; his Dispatches shall be duly forwarded I would take the liberty to observe that a safe conveyance may be had, by the bearer, for the ink which your Excellency proposed sending to C_” The writer was Setauket native Col. Benjamin Tallmadge, and the letter was sent to General George Washington July 25, 1779. Tallmadge is assuring the general that he is expecting information soon from C_, alias Samuel Culper, alias Abraham Woodhull, and is referring to an invisible ink provided by Washington to be used by members of the Culper Spy Ring.

Born in Setauket in 1754, Benjamin Tallmadge left Setauket as a teenager to enter Yale College, became a school teacher after graduation, and subsequently joined the Patriot forces. He served as the chief intelligence officer for General George Washington and relied on his childhood friends from Setauket for the intelligence reports so vital to Washington’s success.

The Culper Spy Ring is not a tale but a real and factual account of spying during the American Revolution. Its epicenter was nestled right here in Setauket.

Benjamin Tallmadge, Abraham Woodhull, Austin Roe and Caleb Brewster all lived here and knew each other growing up. Tallmadge leaned on his trusted friends to create the web that brought information from New York City out to Long Island and across the Long Island Sound to him in Connecticut. From there, it was transmitted to General Washington.

Spying is very risky, and every person involved knew it. All but Caleb Brewster

Considered to be the oldest home in the Town of Brookhaven, the Joseph Brewster House in Setauket, circa 1655, will be one of the stops during Culper Spy Day. used fictitious names; invisible ink was provided; a dictionary of code words invented; and success depended on trusting that each person was committed to the fullest. The Culper Spy Ring operated from 1778 through 1783, with additional agents beyond the Setauket friends. One known agent was Robert Townsend of Oyster Bay, who had a business in New York City, allowing him to pick up information on British troop strengths and movements and then pass it on to either Austin Roe, an innkeeper, or Abraham Woodhull, a farmer and business operator. Both traveled to New York City in the course of their businesses.

The residents of Brookhaven attempted to carry on with their lives, while British soldiers were assigned to the Setauket area, following the disastrous Battle of

Long Island in August 1776. Town board minutes of the time do not refer to the war but to the general running of a municipality with tax collecting, electing officials, land ownership, and responsibility for the indigent. Newspapers of the time did report unpleasant raids and indignities imposed on the residents. In December 1776, William Tryon, provincial governor of New York, traveled to Setauket to secure the support of Brookhaven residents for his majesty’s government.

801 men pledged their support for the British Crown on the Setauket Village Green, then Brookhaven’s central meeting place. Among the signers was Abraham Woodhull, perhaps a move that would reduce suspicion for his intelligence work. Some residents, who feared for their safety, did flee to Connecticut,

A GIORDANO FAMILY TRADITION ...

and remained for the duration of the war.

Those who stayed were subjected to British occupation, often having soldiers billeted in their homes, and their livestock and crops seized for use by the British.

Woodhull and Roe continued to live in Setauket throughout the war years, settling into their occupations and carrying on their intelligence work, probably not without fear of being discovered.

Brewster, a determined and fearless man, made many trips across Long Island Sound to support the Patriot cause but never returned to Setauket to live.

Tallmadge owed the success of his intelligence work to his friends and likely to others whose names are still unknown or unconfirmed.

Although the information about the Culpers was publicized over 80 years ago by former Suffolk County historian, Morton Pennypacker, it has received national attention in the last 10 years.

Its rightful place among the history of the American Revolution was aided by the publication of “Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring”

by Alexander Rose in 2006, “George Washington’s Secret Six: The Spy Ring That Saved the American Revolution” by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger in 2013 and the AMC series “TURN,” now in its second season. And it all happened here.

Lucky is the child who listens to a story from an elder and cherishes it for years. Margo Arceri first heard the Culper Spy Ring story from her Strong’s Neck neighbor and local historian, Kate W. Strong in the 1970s.

“Kate W. Strong, Anna Smith Strong’s great-great-grandaughter, originally told me this story as a child when I used to visit her with my neighbor and Strong CULPER SPY DAY continued on page B20

descendant Raymond Brewster Strong lll,” said Arceri. “She wrote for The Long Island Forum ‘The True Tales of the Early Days on Long Island.’ One of her stories was about Nancy [Anna Smith Strong’s nickname} and her magic clothesline.

That’s where I first heard about the Spy Ring and my love grew from there.”

Today Arceri runs Tri-Spy Tours to share her knowledge of George Washington’s Long Island intelligence during the American Revolution. Her perseverance has inspired the upcoming Culper Spy Day — Our Revolutionary Story, on Saturday, June 20.

Sponsored by Tri-Spy Tours, the Three Village Historical Society, the Long Island Museum, and the Ward Melville Heritage Organization, the event will coincide with the Long Island Convention and Visitors Bureau Path Through History Weekend. The Three Village area will be sharing its famous story throughout the day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Ticket holders will be entitled to admission to the following locations: 1. Three Village Historical Society, 93 N. Country Road, Setauket. Located in the c. 1800’s Ebenezer Bayles/Stephen Swezey house, the Three Village Historical Society is home to the interactive Culper SPIES! exhibit and the Chicken Hill: A Community Lost to Time exhibit. Stop by and meet a visiting friend from Oyster Bay, Robert Townsend, aka Samuel Culper Jr. The gift shop will also be open.

- A one-hour Tri-Spy Walking Tour will be held at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Walk your way through the history of the Revolutionary War’s Culper Spy Ring. Visit Woodhull’s Farm, the Setauket Village Green, Grist Mill, Patriot’s Rock and historic grave sites. Meet at the entrance of Frank Melville Memorial Park.

- A historic district walking tour as it pertains to the Revolutionary War will depart from the entrance of Frank Melville Memorial Park at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. Visit Patriot’s Rock, the cemetery where the leader of the Setauket Spy Ring is buried and the homes of early residents. 631-751-3730.

2. Thompson House Medicinal Garden, 91 N. Country Road, Setauket. Self-guided tour. Doctor Samuel Thompson was a colonial era doctor and farmer. According to his diaries, members of the Culper Spy Ring, including Abraham Woodhull and Austin Roe, were among his patients. 631-751-2244.

3. Caroline Church of Brookhaven, 1 Dyke Road, Setauket. Docents will lead a tour of this church and its adjoining cemetery. Built in 1729, it is the oldest continuously operating Episcopal Church in the United States. The cemetery holds the graves of early settlers of the town, Revolutionary War heroes, ship captains and industry leaders. 631-941-4245.

4. Setauket Presbyterian Church, 5 Caroline Ave., Setauket. Docents will lead a tour of the historic church, circa 1812, and its adjoining cemetery, which dates

back to the 1600s. Abraham Woodhull of George Washington’s Spy Ring, genre artist William Sidney Mount and early settler Richard Floyd, grandfather of William Floyd, are buried here. 631-941-4271.

5. Setauket Village Green, Main Street, Setauket. A replica of a Dutch 1768 single-sail boat will be on display here. During the Revolutionary War, the Village Green was the location of the Battle of Setauket, a skirmish between Tory and Patriot troops that took place on Aug. 22, 1777. Prior to the battle, it was called Meeting House Green where meetings were held during the early settlement period of the mid to late 1600s.

7. Joseph Brewster House, Route 25A, Setauket. Circa 1655, it is considered to be the oldest home in the Town of Brookhaven. During the Revolutionary War, the house was owned by Joseph Brewster, first cousin of Culper Spy Caleb Brewster and neighbor of the ring’s founder, Benjamin Tallmadge. In order to preserve his home and property from confiscation, Joseph Brewster operated a tavern out of the home, hosting the occupying British forces. A colonial cooking demonstration will take place on the grounds. 631-751-2244.

Dinosaur bones leave warm-blooded clues

By Daniel Dunaief

They didn’t mark the wall in crayon or pencil, with a date, to monitor how they grew, the way parents do in suburban homes with their children. Millions of years ago, however, dinosaurs left clues in their bones about their annual growth.

Dinosaur bones have concentric rings, which are analogous to the ones trees have in their trunks.

Michael D’Emic, a paleontologist and research instructor in the Department of Anatomical Sciences at Stony Brook, studied these bones and the size of these rings and concluded that dinosaurs were warm-blooded.

In a paper published online on May 29 in the journal Science, D’Emic demonstrates how the growth rates of these bones indicate dinosaurs were much more like birds than reptiles in their metabolism.

“This supports the idea that dinosaurs were warm-blooded,” said Holly Woodward Ballard, an assistant professor of Anatomy in the Center for Health Sciences at Oklahoma State University.

D’Emic re-analyzed data that appeared in a 2014 Science article, in which other scientists had suggested dinosaurs were mesothermic, which is somewhere in between cold-blooded organisms, like reptiles, and warm-blooded creatures, like birds, three-toed sloths, and humans.

D’Emic was on a dinosaur dig in Wyoming when the paper came out last June. When he returned to Stony Brook in July, he took a closer look at the results. “When I read the paper, I thought they hadn’t accounted for a couple of factors that would bias the results,” he said. “I was curious how changing some of those factors” would affect the conclusions.

D’Emic studies the smallest parts of bones. Indeed, for creatures that lived millions of years ago and weighed as much as 40 tons, he looks closely at cells that were a fraction of the width of a human hair.

In his approach to the data, D’Emic adjusted for seasonal growth patterns. Typically, dinosaurs grew only half the year.

In the other half, when food was scarce or the temperature dropped enough, the dinosaurs would have needed that energy to survive. When he accounted for this, he said the rate of growth doubled.

Comparing his estimated growth rate for dinosaurs with the rate for mammals and reptiles of similar size suggested the dinosaurs “fell right in line with mammals,” he said.

A dinosaur’s metabolism could affect life histories, including how the dinosaurs raised their young, as well as elements to their physiology, he said.

“Such a fundamental aspect of an organism has implications for

the kind of animals we expect them to be,” he said.

D’Emic recognizes that some paleontologists will question his conclusions about dinosaur metabolism. When looking at a broad group of paleontologists, he “still finds a pretty big spec-

trum of ideas” about metabolism and the “debate is probably still open.” After this recent work, D’Emic reached out to partners from around the world to explore bone growth in other groups of dinosaurs.

Ballard, who studies the growth and development of Maiasaura (duck-billed dinosaurs), from hatchling to adults, primarily in Montana, supports D’Emic’s conclusions. She said his analysis will reinforce some of the hypotheses she had about dinosaur metabolism. Ballard said D’Emic was “well thought of” and has“definitely made an impact in the histological field.”

When he was in high school, D’Emic had the opportunity to join a dinosaur dig in New York, where he found a mastodon tusk.

He was living in Manhattan at

the time and went to Hyde Park with a summer class. After two weeks at the site with the class, he asked if he could return, and wound up returning regularly until school started.

“I didn’t want to go back to high school when September rolled around,” D’Emic recalled.

D’Emic, who recently left a dig in Utah and was on his way to join other Stony Brook researchers in Madagascar, said he still feels inspired by the opportunity to learn about dinosaurs. When he came to the University of Michigan in 2006 to start his Ph.D. program, he planned to focus on Titanosaurs. By the time he left, the number of species of Titanosaurs scientists had discovered and categorized had doubled.

“It’s a cool time to be a paleontologist,” he said.

The Stony Brook baseball team’s successful 2015 campaign, which saw the squad claim America East Conference regular season and tournament titles, came to an end on Sunday afternoon with an 8-3 loss to top-seeded and No. 7 national seed Texas Christian University in the elimination game of the NCAA Fort Worth Regional at Lupton Stadium.

The Horned Frogs (45-12) advanced to face No. 2 seed North Carolina State in Sunday evenings’ regional championship game.

The Seawolves (35-16-1) managed just four hits, two each by sophomore centerfielder Toby Handley and freshman designated hitter Malcolm Nachmanoff. Handley drove in two of Stony Brook’s runs.

“I am exceedingly proud of my team for coming down here and competing this weekend the way we did,” Stony Brook head coach Matt Senk said. “I don’t know if any coach could ask for more. They should be very proud of themselves. They made their families proud, this coaching staff, this program, our department and our university exceedingly proud.”

Stony Brook had cut the TCU lead in half with a run in the third inning, but the Horned Frogs broke the game open in the top of the fifth inning with a two-out, threerun home run by freshman catcher Evan Skoug that landed in the Seawolves’ bullpen, over the left field wall.

Stony Brook is now 8-11 all-time in the Division I NCAA Tournament.

Senior catcher Cole Peragine finished his Stony Brook career having played in all 225 games. His 225 games ranks him second in the career record book at Stony Brook. Peragine also closed his career as the all-time leader in walks at Stony Brook with 125.

Honahan and Jack Parenty, also members of the Stony Brook baseball team, each earned America East weekly honors for their performances this past week on the diamond.

Tyler Honahan was named the Pitcher of the Week after allowing just one run on four hits, while striking out a careerhigh 13 batters in 6.1 innings of work in Friday’s 10-1 victory over visiting University of Massachusetts Lowell. His 13 strikeouts are the most by any pitcher in the conference this season, and the honwas his second this season.

Parenty, a senior outfielder, earned CoPlayer of the Week honors for his efforts during the week. He led the conference with a .500 batting average (6-for-12) last week

and helped the Seawolves to a 3-1 record.

Parenty also led the league with a .647 on-base percentage, recorded a .917 slugging percentage and had a hit in each of Stony Brook’s four games, with three of his six hits going for extra bases.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Cameron Stone saw his scoreless innings streak come to an end at an impressive 24.2 innings. He surrendered one run with two outs in the eighth inning on Sunday.

“I want to congratulate TCU,” Senk said.

“They are an outstanding team that played an excellent game. They were a very tough opponent today. I’m disappointed in the result, but not in the effort. They competed their butts off today and all weekend and that is exactly what they were about all year.”

“We are excited about this schedule,” Stony Brook head coach Sue Ryan said. “It is a balanced schedule with a lot of institutions that are similar to us. We feel this schedule will challenge us so that we are ready for our conference season.”

Seven of Stony Brook’s 10 nonconference opponents finished 2014 with winning records. The out-of-conference schedule consists of four teams from the Northeast Conference, including the conference champion Central Connecticut State University; two from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, including

regular-season champion Fairfield University; two from the Colonial Athletic Association, including in-state rival Hofstra University, which won 13 games in 2014; and Yale University from the Ivy League, which finished 2014 with an 8-4-4 record.

Theatre Three’s ‘Puss in Boots’ is the cat’s meow

By Heidi Sutton

the entire company of ‘Puss in Boots’ at theatre three.

are a great supporting cast.

Choreographed by the super talented Marquéz and accompanied on piano

by Steve McCoy, the musical numbers are a real treat, from the sweet duet “Take a Moment for Yourself,” sung

by Geraci and Comanda, to the catchy tune of “Song of the Marquis of Carabas.” At last Sunday’s performance, many children were observed rocking back and forth in their seats to the music, taking it all in.

The set is simple but effective, utilizing props from the set of the theater’s evening performances of “Oliver!”

Imagination is called for, especially when Puss takes the royal family on a tour of her master’s lands. The costumes, designed by Aimee Rabbitt are spot on, with sharp contrast between the rich and the poor.

Overall, Theatre Three’s “Puss in Boots” is funny, entertaining and a perfect introduction to the magic of

For too short a time, Theatre Three’s Children’s Theatre is presenting a delightful adaptation of “Puss in Boots” on the Mainstage. Written by Steve McCoy and Jeffrey Sanzel, the story is loosely based on the 17th century fairy-tale by Charles Perrault, sans the ogre and with a surprise ending.

In Theatre Three’s version, ‘Boots’ chronicles the journey of a poor boy named Christopher. Kicked out of his home by his two older brothers and their wives, with no possessions but his father’s cat, Puss, Christopher sets off to the palace of King Vexmus to seek his fortune. He soon discovers that the cat can talk and wants to help him. A plan is hatched to pose as the rich Marquis of Carabas to win the heart of Princess Anafaizia and the adventure begins.

Jeffrey Sanzel directs a cast of 10 adult actors who deliver a first-rate performance. Hans Paul Hendrickson shines in the leading role of Christopher and also serves as storyteller. His kind and sweet personality quickly gains the sympathy of the audience.

Amanda Geraci is wonderful as Puss.

Your ‘basic cat of all trades,’ she sings and dances in practically every scene with boundless energy.

Jenna Kavaler is the beautiful Princess Anafaizia, who quickly reveals that her beauty is only skin deep.

Bobby Montaniz and Andrew Gasparini are a terrific team as Christopher’s mean brothers, Amos and Shank.

Their antics up and down the aisles to try to catch Christopher with a large net are priceless. James D. Schultz is in top form as the bumbling King Vexmus. Hilarious as usual, he clearly enjoys being onstage, making children and adults laugh. Schultz is perfectly matched with newcomer Tiffany Bux as Queen Ire. Bickering like an old married couple, they are very entertaining. Dana Bush as Ida, Marquéz as Missy and Gabrielle Comanda as Julia

I hear the ice-cream truck come around the corner, I look outside my window to see a line full of many children excited to get a big cone,

Lemonade is standing on my windowsill, I slurp some up in my straw, I savor the taste all day long until my mouth tells my tongue to slurp up the remainder,

My mom makes amazing breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts. She makes amazing pancakes for breakfast! She makes amazing cheese sandwiches for lunch! She makes me amazing Mac n’ Cheese for dinner! Her scones, brownies, cookies and donuts are all so yummy. Mom is a very good helper. She helps me on measurements for homework. She helps me a lot with reading. So I get better at reading and she brings me to extra help for math. She also helped me on the store project for school. When I did a country report on Turkey she helped me with writing and my poster. She even sent in hummus and pita bread for my class. She makes me happy when she brings me to birthday parties. She also comes to school for our class parties. Sometimes she’ll let me go to sleepovers. They are fun. She also buys me books.

My mom bought me two books when I was sick. She bought me a “Magic Tree House” [book] and one with drawings of Picasso’s pictures. She helps me play “Guess Who?” She helps me with art sometimes. She even thinks one of my pictures looks like a Picasso!

She thinks I’m really amazing and cool and because of that I also think that. She is so special to my heart.

My mom’s the best!

SHARING THE BEST IDEAS IN MEDICINE WITH YOU

What You Should Know About Healthy Pregnancy and Prematurity Drs. Shanthy Sridhar and James Bernasko discuss why every week of development before birth is important — and Stony Brook’s services for high-risk moms and premature babies.

What’s the danger in being born early?

A full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks long, and every week makes a difference in the growth of a baby’s brain, lungs, liver and other organs. The brain, for example, grows four- to five-fold in size between 35 and 40 weeks. While it’s well known that babies born before 34 weeks of pregnancy are at a higher risk for death or disabilities, we have learned more recently that “late preterm babies” — those born between 34 and 37 weeks of pregnancy — also need special attention. They may have feeding problems, hypothermia, jaundice, developmental issues and a higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

What can women do to prevent premature births?

Seeking early and ongoing prenatal care is the most important thing a pregnant woman can do to ensure her health and the health of her baby.

For example, ultrasounds can tell us the due date and check development. At 12 weeks, we can draw blood to check the risk for conditions like Down’s syndrome and other abnormalities. If a heart problem is suspected, echocardiography performed between 18 and 24 weeks can detect most major heart defects, helping the delivery team to prepare appropriately. And as the pregnancy progresses, we look for conditions that might trigger early labor. Many issues can be addressed through interventions such as monitored bed rest, cerclage (stitching the cervix if it is too weak to support the baby) and medications for women who have had a previous preterm delivery.

What if labor begins prematurely despite these efforts?

We can help. Stony Brook offers Suffolk County’s only state-designated, regional perinatal center — which means we have the highest level of facilities, technology and expertise to care for high-risk women and critically ill newborns. Each year, more than 200 high-risk pregnant women are transferred to us from other hospitals. And we treat more than 1,000 sick newborns each year (which includes about 100 babies who are transferred to us) in our 46-bed, single-patientroom neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Another thing that makes us unique in Suffolk is that we’re a teaching hospital. We train the perinatologists (who care for high-risk mothers and their unborn babies) and the neonatologists (who care for newborns) of tomorrow.

When it’s time to go home, how does Stony Brook Children’s help premature babies and moms prepare?

Our high-risk obstetric inpatient unit is staffed with perinatologists and nurses trained to help high-risk mothers and their families to get the best start possible. We also have many programs that focus on breastfeeding, safe sleeping (to avoid SIDS), preparing moms and families to care for their baby at home and helping them navigate the early months of parenthood once they are discharged: • A quarter of our nurses are certified lactation specialists who work with mothers to succeed in breastfeeding and pumping milk.

• We’re adopting cue-based feeding, which means we look for signs that the baby is ready to accept feeding. This leads to earlier success with full, oral-based feeding.

• We teach families about the safest sleeping positions for infants, and encourage babies

discharged from the NICU and newborn nursery to use a sleep sack, which is a wearable blanket and safer alternative to crib blankets. We practice safe sleep in all of our pediatric areas.

• A suite is available within the NICU that provides parents who are bringing home a baby who’s technology-dependent — for example, on a pulse oximeter, apnea monitor or other device — to stay overnight and practice providing care with support from our nursing staff.

• We are the only institution in New York State with a March of Dimes®-funded NICU Family Support Program which supports parents while their infant is in the NICU and provides education to parents and their family members about how to care for their baby after discharge.

• Our Keeping Families Healthy Program makes home visits post-discharge to ensure moms and babies are doing well.

What else distinguishes Stony Brook’s approach to neonatal and perinatal care?

Stony Brook Medicine is Suffolk County’s only state-designated, regional perinatal center caring for critically ill newborns. Annually, more than 100 infants and 200 high-risk pregnant women are transferred to Stony Brook from other hospitals in the region, and we treat more than 1,000 sick newborns each year in our 46-bed, single patient room NICU. As a teaching hospital, we also train the neonatologists of tomorrow.

We are the only center in Suffolk County transitioning to whole body cooling therapy to term and near-term infants born with encephalopathy to help prevent severe cerebral palsy and long-term developmental problems.
