A bird’s-eye view of last year’s event.

Welcome to Green Fest 2015!

The Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce and Times Beacon Record Newspapers will sponsor the annual PJ Green Fest on June 13 from 1 to 5 p.m.

The event will be held at the Port Jefferson Village Center and the neighboring Harborfront Park at 101A E. Broadway, Port Jefferson. Admission is free.

This festival will draw in hundreds from all over Long Island who want to become more environmentally conscious. Now in its seventh year, the purpose of Green Fest is to educate, inform, entertain and enlighten people on how to make choices for a “greener”

world and to promote sustainable ways of living.

The Fest will include selective vendors (see list on page B5) featuring ecofriendly arts, crafts, services and products along with live demonstrations, music, entertainment, children’s activities and a mini-farmers market. Won’t you join forces with us to help turn the village, the island and ultimately the world into an eco-friendly, green home for all to benefit for many years to come? It starts with one small step (or fest) at a time.

For more information, call 631-4731414 or visit www.pjgreenfest.com.

OVER 35 SHOPS & RESTAURANTS! ALWAYS FREE PARKING!

From left, Suzanne Velazquez, Jolie Powell, Sen. Ken lavalle (R-Port Jefferson) and Barbara Ransome at last year’s Green Fest.

It is my privilege and honor to chair our 7th Annual Green Fest at the beautiful harborfront Village Center on behalf of the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce.

Since real estate is my passion, I want to emphasize the power of green and the power of a smart home, as I see the future of housing with a greater focus on energy efficiency as well as home automation.

More and more of my clients are seeing the benefits of natural gas, radiant heat, low emission windows and mobile technology for the home. It’s all about saving our environment and our pockets!

I strongly believe energy efficiency is a great selling point in today’s housing market. If a house can sell at a 10 to 20 percent premium against neighboring properties due to energy efficiency treatments, that seems like a great argument for going green.

Going Smart. The buzz words! Therefore, I have put together the top eco-friendly gadgets just in time for summer, when sun power is plentiful.

EcoReco: This innovative scooter is 100 percent battery powered and lets you go up to 500 miles on just $1. It’s a look sleeker than the Segway, completely green compared to other types of scooters (besides those powered by your legs, of course, which are equally as green), and has no pollutants or emissions at all.

Sunny: It’s always sunny in mobile-readiness land. This is the first totally solar-powered case, currently designed for the iPhone 6 but with rumors of more makes and models coming soon. You can still contribute to this crowd-sourcing campaign and be one of the first to get it. iBamboo: Bamboo is already one of the most sustainable materials around, and now it’s been turned into the ultimate foundation for your iPod or iPhone’s portable speakers. There’s no electricity needed and it’s compatible with the iPhone models 4 and up.

Goal Zero’s Nomad 13: You’re going into the wild, but you still need to power up. Ideal for long camping or hiking trips, this portable solar panel can charge anything that needs 13 or fewer watts. There are other panels, but they have fewer options. The size of an iPad, it comes with an internal battery, but you can buy more for longer adventures.

Freeloader solar charger: Who knew a freeloader could be a great thing? This portable charger can power up any handheld device. Facing a longer trip? Mobile phones can be charged up to 44 hours and iPods for 18. It’s the size of a small portable hard drive to slide into any bag or purse with ease.

The OfficePOD: It’s one of the biggest green gadgets on the market, and this UK offering is just what it sounds like. It’s fully customizable, about the size of a regular cubicle, and is made completely from recycled materials. Easily set up in a day, OfficePOD is the affordable alternative to costly office spaces.

Vexia Econav 300 Series: A GPS with a green angle and the only satellite navigation device with Econav technology. It’s designed for power efficiency and promises over 19 percent more efficiency when navigating, ultimately saving you gas, energy consumption and reducing your carbon footprint.

Gota Dishwasher: Save an incredible amount of water that’s often wasted during traditional dishwashing processes. It steams during pre-wash, then gathers the vapors for washing. Not only is it a green alternative, but the steam process also results in cleaner plates and flatware.

UltraSilencer Green: Available on Amazon, this in-home cleaner is created with 55 percent plastic and a motor that minimizes consumption up to 33 percent.

It’s also quieter than traditional vacuums and has a specialized wheel to keep floors protected.

Philips Econova TV: This is completely made from recycled materials. When the Econova TV is turned off, it auto-adjusts to zero wattage mode. Plus, the remote is solar powered — simply keep it on the windowsill and you’ll never be shaking the remote to make it work again.

Green gadgets are often more affordable than you think and can save you a bundle in energy consumption down the road. Also, they’re great for karma points. Green up your home by slowly replacing one gadget at a time until you’re the poster child for sustainability meets geek chic.

A great big thanks and appreciation to all vendors, sponsors, volunteers, our hometown Times Beacon Record Newspapers, our tireless Director of Operations Barbara Ransome and our great village, without whom Green Fest 2015 could not have been possible!

Go Green on November 7 Port Jefferson Village Go Green returns for its eighth year on Saturday, Nov. 7, from noon to 4 p.m. at the Port Jefferson Village Center. The Go Green committee is proud to salute the youth in our schools who, since the Go Green Information Fair began, have led the way in projects that have made us all more aware of actions we can take to make this village greener.

From a major recycling project with both papers and plastics, to sensible environmental use of our gardens and lawns, to energy conservation, to increased awareness of waterfront preservation and cleaner water, to stopping use of pesticides and countless other projects, teachers, students and administrators in our three schools have put forth great energy and made us all more aware of a safer environment.

The formation of Go Green came about through the efforts of E. Ann Kaplan, then director of the Humanities Institute at Stony Brook, and John Lutterbie, chair of theater arts also at Stony Brook. He partnered with Naomi Solo of Port Jefferson Village and together with over 30 local dedicated residents have expanded Go Green to include our village government, our schools, the

To Take The Green Pledge!

Port Jefferson Free Library, LISEC, LINPI, the Maritime Explorium, the Village Center and many other groups.

We have just gained official approval from the mayor for a local village garden area with only indigenous plants, in cooperation with our village gardners Caran Markson, Sue Avery, Lauren Hubbard and Brian Smith.

In celebrating these fine achievements, the mayor and board of trustees will be issuing a proclamation to our three schools for all their efforts. On display that day will be examples of these fine accomplishments.

Finally, what has now become a tradition for this day, the Green Elephant table will return. Save your gently used gift items (no clothes or electronics please) and call us to donate. That day, visit the tables and just take what you would like. It’s another way to recycle in such a fun way.

Go Green is pleased to have the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce and Barbara Ransome and Jolie Powell, whose efforts to bring more people together beautifully support these events.

“We are very pleased to announce this appointment,” said Gary Strong, president of the board of trustees for the HHS. “Claudia will bring leadership and creativity to the Society by utilizing her expertise in programming and member relations. In addition, her knowledge of Huntington’s rich history and her deep connections to the community will enrich the offerings of the society, as it embarks on a new chapter of its history with the opening of the Buffett Family Archives facility later this year.”

“I am thrilled to return to the Huntington Historical Society and am honored to serve the members and the community in the role of executive director. I have always felt lucky to live in a town with such deep history and well preserved historic character,” remarked the Huntington native.

festival

Ringmaster Fred Hall to lead the 2015 Barnum Festival across the Sound Q. Are you essentially the kickoff for every event?

A. Pretty much. I think I have 16 appearances in the month of June alone. One of the events that is not widely know, we actually go to nursing homes and convalescent homes and we put on small shows for the residents. I know we go to more than 10 homes and we do the show and stop in. For some of these folks it’s the highlight of their year. All the past ringmasters told me that is the most rewarding of all the events.

Q. Can you give me a bit of a preview of the show?

A. No, because rehearsal hasn’t even started yet!

Q. Oh, I see. So when does rehearsal start?

A. We need to find out who the winners of the Barnum’s Got Talent Competition on June 13 are. Right after that we go into rehearsals for the small road shows, with myself, the performers and the royal family.

Q. What exactly is the royal family?

A. The royal family is made up of six members: a king, queen, prince, princess, Tom Thumb and Lavinia. To find the king, queen, prince and princess, we ask for two high school juniors in the top 15 percent of their class, one male and one female, from every school we can get in Connecticut. They go through a two-part process; the first is a panel of judges who asks varying questions to each contestant. The two years I served as a judge, my question was “Who was P.T. Barnum?” Not everyone knows about Barnum, the philanthropist or the inventor. So we have to get the word out! After the panel we hold a social event for them, and we are looking for the

kids that are getting other kids dancing and socializing.

At the end of that event the judges select a king, queen, prince and princess, and they all get scholarships.

Q. Who are Tom Thumb and Lavinia?

A. They were little people that Barnum employed in his circus, and they were also married. So we have a competition with seven- or eight-year-olds. Interviews happen, they get a tour of the museum, and at the end of the event we chose a Tom Thumb and Lavinia, and they comprise the last two members of the royal family.

Q. Can you tell me a little about some specific events, like the Ringmaster’s Ball?

A. It’s a great social event. Last year there were 500 people. There are cocktails, dinner, dancing; and a lot of people from the area show up. We get numerous politicians; last year Governor Malloy attended. It’s a great event. The tickets are $175, and the money helps support the scholarships we give out every year, as well as the various activities during the festival.

Q. What are you most looking forward to this year?

A. Meeting new people, getting to know the entire royal family. There really are some amazing people involved in this festival, and frankly I am in awe of them. The volunteers as well are terrific people. I can’t emphasize enough how much this festival is about the people.

Q. What was the best piece of advice former ringmasters gave you?

A. Just to relax and enjoy it as much as possible.

The previous ringmasters and Elaine Ficarra, executive director of the festival, built a tremendous organization here.

Q &A With

Fred Hall 67th Ringmaster of the Barnum Festival

Photo from fred Hall

ringmaster Fred Hall

By Victoria Espinoza

Fred Hall, vice president and general manager of the Bridgeport and Port Jefferson Steamboat Company, has been selected as the 67th Ringmaster of the Barnum Festival. The Barnum Festival, founded in 1948, is meant to build community spirit, as well as honor Phineas Taylor Barnum, a successful businessman, community leader and world-renowned showman, who was a resident of Bridgeport.

The festival will run from June 12 to 28, and every year a ringmaster is chosen to lead the festivities. The event, which will be held in various locations throughout the greater Bridgeport area, includes the Wing Ding Parade for Kids, the Ringmaster’s Ball, the Barnum Pub Fest, and the Greater Bridgeport Symphony Pops Concert and Skyblast Fireworks.

Hall first joined the Bridgeport and Port Jefferson Steamboat Company in 1976 and became vice president in 1985. He served as a judge on the royal family panel for two years. I recently chatted with Fred Hall about his newly appointed position.

Q. What are the duties and responsibilities of the ringmaster?

A. You are basically the master of all the ceremonies.

You’re at almost every event and are the face of the festival. Some specific duties I’ll do is throwing the first pitch at the Long Island Ducks and Bridgeport Bluefish baseball game and putting together a friendly wager between Mayor Bill Finch of Bridgeport and Mayor Margot Garant of Port Jefferson during the game.

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

Melanoma risks and prevention incidence of melanoma has increased significantly

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

Longer days are here again, and you can feel the jubilance of people coming out of hibernation after a long, hard winter. Summer weather will be here before you know it, and millions will be heading to the beaches. What could possibly be wrong with this picture? With all these benefits, you need to be cognizant of cutaneous (skin) melanoma. It is small in frequency, compared to basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, responsible for only about 5 percent of skin cancers; however, it is much more deadly.

STATISTICS

Unfortunately, melanoma is on the rise. Over the last 40 years from 1970 to 2009, its incidence has increased by 800 percent in young women and by 400 percent in young men (1). These were patients diagnosed for the first time between 18 and 39 years old. Overall, the risk is greater in men, with 1 in 37 afflicted by this disease in his lifetime. The rate among women is 1 in 56. It is predicted that in 2014, there will have been over 76,000 cases, with over 12 percent resulting in death (2).

Melanoma risk involves genetic and environmental factors. These include sun exposure that is intense but intermittent, tanning beds, UVA radiation used for the treatment of psoriasis, the number of nevi (moles), Parkinson’s disease, prostate cancer, family history and personal history. Many of these risk factors are modifiable (3).

PRESENTATION

Fortunately, melanoma is mostly preventable. What should you look for to detect melanoma at its earliest stages?

In medicine, we use the mnemonic “ABCDE” to recall key factors to look for when examining moles. This stands for asymmetric borders (change in shape); border irregularities; color change; diameter increase (size change); and evolution or enlargement of diameter, color or symptoms, such as inflammation,

bleeding and crustiness (4). Asymmetry, color and diameter are most important, according to guidelines developed in England (5).

It is important to look over your skin completely, not just partially, and have a dermatologist screen for potential melanoma. Screening skin for melanomas has shown a six-times greater chance of detecting them. Skin areas exposed to the sun have the highest probability of developing the disease. Men are more likely to have melanoma tumors on the back, while women are more likely to have melanoma on the lower legs, but they can develop anywhere (6).

In addition, most important to the physician, especially the dermatologist, is the thickness of melanoma. This may determine its probability to metastasize. In a recent retrospective (backward-looking) study, the results suggest that melanoma of >0.75 mm needs to not only be excised, or removed, but also have the sentinel lymph node (the closest node) biopsied to determine risk of metastases (7). A positive sentinel node biopsy occurred in 6.23 percent of those with thickness >0.75 mm, which was significantly greater than in those with thinner melanomas. When the sentinel node biopsy is positive, there is a greater than twofold increase in the risk of metastases. On the plus side, having a negative sentinel node helps relieve the stress and anxiety that the melanoma tumor has spread.

PREVENTION

The two most valuable types of prevention are clothing and sunscreen. Let’s look at these in more detail.

Clothing Clothing can play a key role in reducing melanoma risk. The rating system for clothing protection is the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF). The Skin Cancer Foundation provides a list of which laundry additives, clothing and cosmetics protect against the sun (8). Clothing that has a UPF rating between 15 and 24 is considered good, 25 and 39 is very good, and 40 and 50 is excellent. The ratings assess tightness of weave, color (the darker the better), type of yarn, finishing, response to moisture, stretch and condition. The most important of these is the weave tightness (9).

Interestingly, the New York Times wrote about how major companies are producing sun protective clothing lines that are fashionable and lighter in weight.

The article is entitled “Fashionable Options Reshape Sun-Protective Clothing,” published on July 17, 2013 (10).

Sunscreen We have always known that sunscreen is valuable. But just how effective is it?

In an Australian prospective (forwardlooking) study, those who were instructed to use sun protective factor (SPF) 16 sunscreen lotion on a daily basis had sig-

it is important to reapply sunscreen throughout the day at the beach.

nificantly fewer incidences of melanoma compared to the control group members, who used their own sunscreen and were allowed to apply it at their discretion (11). The number of melanomas in the treatment group was half that of the control group’s over a 10-year period. But even more significant was a 73 percent reduction in the risk of advanced-stage melanoma in the treatment group. Daily application of sunscreen was critical.

The recommendation after this study and others like it is that an SPF of 15 should be used daily by those who are consistently exposed to the sun and/or are at high risk for melanoma according to the American Academy of Dermatology (12). The amount used per application should be about one ounce.

However, since people don’t use as much sunscreen as they should, the academy recommends an SPF of 30 or higher.

Note that SPF 30 is not double the protection of SPF 15. The UVB protection of SPFs 15, 30 and 50 are 93, 97 and 98 percent, respectively.

The problem is that SPF is a number that registers mostly the blocking of UVB but not so much the blocking of UVA1 or UVA2 rays. However, 95 percent of the sun’s rays that reach sea level are UVA. So what to do?

Sunscreens come in a variety of UV filters, which are either organic filters (chemical sunscreens) or inorganic filters (physical sunscreens). The FDA now requires broad-spectrum sunscreens pass a test showing they block both UVB and UVA radiation. Broad-spectrum sunscreens must be at least SPF 15 to decrease the risk of skin cancer and prevent premature skin aging caused by the sun. Anything over the level of SPF 50 should be referred to as 50+ (3).

The FDA also has done away with the term “waterproof.” Instead, sunscreens

can be either water resistant or very water resistant, if they provide 40 and 80 minutes of protection, respectively. This means you should reapply sunscreen if you are out in the sun for more than 80 minutes, even with the most protective sunscreen (3). Look for sunscreens that have zinc oxide, avobenezene or titanium oxide; these are the only ones that provide UVA1 protection, in addition to UVA2 and UVB protection.

In conclusion, to reduce the risk of melanoma, proper clothing with tight weaving and/or sunscreen should be used. The best sunscreens are broad spectrum, as defined by the FDA, and should contain zinc oxide, avobenezene or titanium oxide to make sure the formulation not only blocks UVA2 but also UVA1 rays. It is best to reapply sunscreen every 40 to 80 minutes, depending on its rating. We can reduce the risk of melanoma occurrence significantly with these very simple steps.

Spy-themed menu sets the tone as Culper Spy Day draws near

By Alex Petroski

Culper Spy Day is approaching quickly and the buzz is starting to build. The Three Village area will be celebrating its storied connection to the Revolutionary War and the Culper Spy Ring on Saturday, June 20.

The Country House Restaurant on North Country Road in Stony Brook will be participating in the festivities, offering a spy-themed menu for the occasion. The restaurant’s owner and Stony Brook resident Bob Willemstyn said he is excited to be a part of the historic day.

“It’s really nice to see the cohesiveness of the community coming together,” Willemstyn said. He has owned the restaurant since 2005. Before that, Willemstyn worked at the restaurant for 27 years.

Built in 1710, the house has served many purposes over those 300-plus years. Willemstyn said that every character from the popular television show TURN on AMC, which depicts the actions and inner workings of the Culper Spy Ring in Setauket, physically set foot in the Country House Restaurant around the time of the Revolutionary War. Everyone except for George Washington, Willemstyn admits.

The menu for June 20 features dishes with Culper Spy Day-related names.

Yankee Doodle Chicken Fingers & French Fries, Secret Spy Ring Cheese Ravioli and George Washington’s Flatbread Cheese Pizza will surely be favorites on the kid’s menu. Members of the Culper Spy Ring are paid homage on the adult menu with items like the Anna & Selah Strong Twin Maryland

Crab Cakes, Mary Woodhull Chilled Poached Salmon Fillet over Greens and the Caleb Brewster Cavatelli Pasta & Braised Beef Short Rib Ragu.

There will be some extra-added fun with the kid’s menu, Willemstyn said.

There is a secret code within the menu that if cracked will earn the sharp, young revolutionary a free dessert.

“We hope to draw some people into the village with this menu,” Willemstyn said. The Country House Restau-

rant is not quite within walking distance from some of the other Culper Spy Day festivities, but it is the only place that will boast a spy-themed menu and more than 300 years of history and tradition.

Willemstyn said he plans to decorate the restaurant with an American flag bunting to draw in other revolutionaries enjoying the special day. He also recommended that anyone interested in dining at the Country House Restau-

The Stony Brook Grist Mill, circa 1751, will be open for tours on Culper Spy Day.

The Culper Spy Ring has gained much attention over the last 10 years from the publishing of two books and AMC airing the television series TURN. On June 20, the Three Villages will be sharing its famous story with a day-long event, Culper Spy Day — Our Revolutionary Story.

“Culper Spy Day is the result of a wonderful collaboration of entities who came together to create an event that highlights the amazing history behind George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring. The Three Village area is full of hidden intrigue and stories of how America’s first spy ring came together secretly to get George Washington the information needed to turn the tide of the American Revolution,” said Kristen Matejka, director of marketing and communications, Long Island Convention and Visitors Bureau and Sports Commission.

Many historic locations dating as far back as 1655 will open their doors to the public, and a local restaurant will offer a spythemed lunch menu. 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. 631751-2244.

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.

5. Setauket Village Green, Main Street, Setauket. A replica of a Dutch 1768 singlesail 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.

6. Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, 120 Main St., Setauket. Circa 1892. The library will present a demo of its interactive Spy Ring Tour, and materials and databases related to the Culper Spy Ring will be on the library lawn. Military paraphernalia will be on display in the Library lobby.

Stop by and meet Anna Smith Strong and her “magic clothesline.” 631-941-4080.

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.

Songs in the Key of earth Vanderbilt Planetarium to host family concert Patricia Shih, an award-winning singer-songwriter, and her rollicking sidekick, Stephen Fricker, return to the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum’s Charles and Helen Reichert Planetarium, 180 Little Neck Road, Centerport, on Sunday, June 14, for another multimedia, audience participation family concert at 4:30 p.m. Their show, Songs in the Key of Earth, with images and video projected onto the planetarium dome, is an hour-long family concert for all ages.

The duo will use the wonder and magic of the planetarium to take the audience on a rocket ship ride through space and back to Earth. Along the way, the audience will appreciate the planet’s beauty and fragility, get to make wishes upon the first star, snuggle up with a lullaby, help to make a thunderstorm, and dance under a huge rainbow. Music, projected images and video all create an enchanting journey under the planetarium’s starry dome. Shih said the evening will celebrate the Earth and “the greatest idea in the universe — love — found only on this planet.”

Shih and Fricker are renowned for including the audience as guest stars, inspiring them to sing and clap along, help write a song, dance and move, and learn sign language. Concertgoers will use the

power of their imaginations — with help from the planetarium — to go on a universal adventure.

Shih wrote her first song at age 12 and hasn’t stopped since. Her professional career began when she was 15 and signed a recording and management contract with Unicorn Records of Washington, D.C., as half of a duo. She released a 45-rpm record a year later, and numerous television, radio, concert and club performances followed. Those included an international radio broadcast on the Voice of America and appearances at the legendary Cellar Door. Several years later, she began her solo career in California, notably on her own PBS special “Patty Shih — Music from the Gallery.” Soon after, she returned to the East Coast and settled in Huntington.

Shih has recorded three albums for adults and five for families and children.

Her albums have brought her honors including the Gold Award from the National Association of Parenting Publications, two Parents’ Choice Awards and Creative Child Magazine’s Seal of Excellence.

Admission is $8 per person. Seating is limited, and advance purchase is strongly recommended. Tickets can be purchased at www.vanderbiltmuseum. org. For more information, call 631854-5579.

Sue Ellen Schlesier Sardzinski was the lucky winner of the Setauket Neighborhood House’s annual Taste of the Neighborhood benefit on May 15, winning a photo of the Neighborhood House and a basket full of games. In a letter to the coordinator of the event, Irene Ruddock, Sardzinski said, “I love the photo of the Neighborhood House. I have lived here since 1961, and my mother was a member of the Three Village Historical Society before I was old enough to be. She used to play bridge there and had her photo in the Three Village Herald years ago in the Neighborhood House. Mom passed two years ago at the age of 98. She lived on Three Village Lane, so this is a very special winning with so many memories. She was always civic minded and protecting our community. The grandchildren will enjoy the game basket too. Thank you for a wonderful evening.” Proceeds from the event will go toward replacing the house’s ballroom floor.

Dogwood is native to long Island and is adapted to our climate.

native plants and water control

Long Island’s Premier Landscape & Design Company

In last week’s gardening column, we looked at the frequently erratic amounts of water that Mother Nature provides to Long Island gardeners. This has been a dry spring, for example, with moderate drought conditions being reported for April and most of May. How do we deal with this?

One of the answers is by planting trees, shrubs, etc. that are native to Long Island.

This way, they are plants that are already adapted to the almost pendulum-like swings between torrential rain and near drought conditions.

Native plants have other benefits, besides the amount of water they need. They are adapted in other ways, too. For example, they survive the winter cold and summer heat better than some introduced plants.

Native plants need little or no fertilization.

They are noninvasive (not like the English ivy, which if given an inch will take a mile).

Native trees have generally reached a balance with insect pests native to the area. You’ll notice that the insects that have caused recent problems in local trees (Asian longhorn beetle and southern pine beetle) are not from our area.

Trees that do particularly well on Long Island, and are actually native to the area, include pine and oak. Oak has a taproot, which goes deeply into the soil. This is a benefit in times of little or no rain because it’s the top layer of soil that dries out. Deep down, there’s water in the soil and the taproots reach deeply into those wet layers.

The USDA Forest Service notes that pine has a vestige of a taproot and three to five other major roots that go outward and then deep into the soil. Native dogwood is another one that does well here.

Shrubs

Shrubs native to the area include northern bayberry (Morella pensylvanica), bear

oak (Quercus ilicifolia) and blueberry.

Blueberry in particular does well on Long Island because it prefers a soil with an acidity somewhere in the neighborhood of 4.0 to 5.0, very acidic. And, fortunately, Long Island soil can be as acidic as that. Blueberries come in a variety of heights and bloom times so they make a beautiful living hedge and can provide fruit for over a six-week period.

Note that wineberries, which grow so easily here, are not native but have been introduced and are very invasive. They are on Suffolk County’s Do Not Sell list because of their invasive nature. Another introduced, and invasive, shrub is the multifora rose.

Again, banned and definitely invasive.

Flowers

Annual, biennial and perennial plants that are native to Long Island include aster (purple flowers in autumn), butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa, with its vibrant orange flowers in summer), clover and Eastern prickly pear cactus (bright yellow flowers with orange centers, also in summer).

So, yes, you can have a beautiful flower garden with just native plants.

While native plants are ideal, there are also some nonnative plants that have similar characteristics. Look for plants that are drought tolerant, noninvasive and do well in USDA hardiness zone 7 or above (my preference is for 6 or above, just in case we have abnormally cold winters).

For detailed information on native plants, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden publishes “A Native Plants Reader” and “Great Natives for Tough Places.” “Native Alternatives to Invasive Plants” by C. Colston Burrewll, handbook 185, may be available as used copies. Go to www.bbg.org for details. See also the website of the Long Island Native Plant Initiative at www.linpi.org.

Setauket’s Gallery North Gala celebrates 50 years

By Sue Wahlert

Gallery North’s “50 & Forward” Gala was held last Friday at The Simons Center for Geometry and Physics on the campus of Stony Brook University. It was an opportunity to “honor the past and look to the future,” said Gallery North Director Judith Levy. Honoree Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) reflected, “Gallery North anchors part of our history and heritage,” speaking of the 1875 boarding house which is the current Gallery North. He continued by saying that this celebration is, “an important milestone for the North Country Road Historic community.”

Guests entered the sunlit atrium while pianist Conal Fowkes, Woody Allen’s collaborator at the Café Carlyle, set the tone for a lovely evening of socializing, fundraising and honoring those vital to the past, present and future of Gallery North.

Silent auction items lined the edges of the room, some of which were donated paintings by artists Bruce Lieberman, Nancy Bueti-Randall, Terence Netter, elegant necklaces by Pearl Ehrlich and Jan LaRoche; and many more fine choices. A delicious buffet prepared by Chef Paolo Fontana and his staff of the SCGP Café was served on the second floor where guests also enjoyed the patio and outdoor gardens.

The celebration comes at an exciting time for Gallery North, as they are in the final stages of completing the Community Art Center, which will enable the

Gallery to better serve the community’s art needs. “We are really excited about the Community Art Center,” said Nancy Goroff, president of Gallery North. The state-of -the-art, handicapped-accessible building will house a collaborative printmaking studio for artists and students, offer a mentoring program and allow for the expansion of the existing programs such as Studio Art Workshops, ArtVentures for Kids, ArTalks, ArtWorks and ArtAbilities.

The evening was an opportunity for artists, patrons of the arts and community members to join together for a celebration. Levy reflected on the evening, “Members of the community were there to support us and help us raise money.

As a non-profit institution, that is very important to our survival.” A highlight of the evening for Levy was, “listening to the honorees speak about what Gallery North has meant to them as members of the community, art lovers, and appreciators, as well as public officials.”

Following dinner, guests gathered for the honoree ceremony and live auction.

The evening’s honorees: Englebright, Virginia “Vinnie” Fish and Philip Palmedo, were introduced by Gallery North’s Secretary/Treasurer Doug Dahlgard.

Englebright was acknowledged by Dahlgard for having “an unwavering commitment to the growth of not-forprofits and honored him for his wholehearted support.” Englebright spoke of the value the Gallery brings to the community and was proud to announce that he secured a $60,000 challenge grant

from New York State, which would be used toward keeping Gallery North strong and vital for many years to come.

Gallery North must now raise $60,000 within one year, to match the State grant of the same amount. Englebright reflected on the new Community Art Center, saying that it, “will embrace our children.”

The second honoree, Palmedo, was a Gallery North trustee from 1978 to 2008 and is a Trustee Emeritus. Palmedo spoke of how he and his wife moved from Paris to Long Island many years ago and were delighted that they had found a gallery that was showing contemporary art. His belief is that, “art is indeed important” and that the Gallery is, “as vigorous as it was 50 years ago.”

His gratitude is shown through his continuous support of Gallery North.

Although the final honoree, artist and Trustee Emeritus Virginia “Vinnie” Fish, was unable to attend the ceremony, she sent along a short film talking about the early beginnings of the Gallery and the role her mother, Virginia Fuller, one of the gallery’s founders, played in “giving to others and making life better for others.”

She reflected that, “before Gallery North there were only horse shows” and that “it changed the community.” Fish worked as Gallery North’s president from 1989 to 1997. She created its 30th anniversary show, which “generated acclaim and attention from the greater art world.”

During her term as president, the Gallery received it’s full 501(c)(3) tax status.

Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (DPort Jefferson Station) was on hand to present certificates of appreciation to each of the honorees, as well as one to Gallery North, proclaiming “We are honored to have Gallery North in our community.”

Following the ceremony, a lively auction took place, where generous bids were made for a trip to an Austrian chalet, a weeklong vacation in Deer Valley, Utah, and a weekend stay in a Manhattan apartment. The bidding continued, as people donated money to match an anonymous donation of $15,000. Certified Christie’s Auctioneer, Alison Delaney, successfully guided the audience in a lighthearted but important part of the evening.

The Gallery is well on their way to matching the $60,000 challenge grant.

Goroff said of the evening, “It was wonderful to see how many people stepped up at the Gala to help meet the challenge. We still have more to raise, but with such a strong start, we are confident we can do it!”

The event, which wound down with music, dancing, drinks and dessert, marked the beginning of the next 50 years with shows to be curated, a Community Art Center to open and the ongoing support of artists, art lovers and community members.

Gallery North is located at 90 North Country Road in Setauket. If you would like to join the gallery in reaching its potential and beyond, please log onto their website at www.gallerynorth.org or call 631-751-2676.

SB’s Boon seeks ways to break up bacterial party the power of 1

3 2

By Daniel Dunaief

When bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, they enter a category that spurs scientists and doctors to search for alternative remedies.

Bacteria can live singly, in what’s called the planktonic state, in groups or colonies, in which case they form a biofilm, or in numerous possibilities in between. In the biofilm state, they become more resistant to antibiotics, which increases the urgency to find a way to break up the bacterial party.

Elizabeth Boon, an associate professor of chemistry at Stony Brook University, has worked with a gas that, in some species of bacteria, appears to affect biofilm formation. While the details vary from one species to another, scientists have found that low concentrations of nitric oxide most often cause bacteria to leave biofilms.

Boon has discovered nitric oxide-sensing proteins in several strains of bacteria, which might help shed light on how this gas acts as a trigger for bacteria.

Boon’s discoveries are “innovative because they provide a previously important missing link between how bacteria behave in the human body and how the human system fails to counteract

3 bacterial infection and the inflammation it causes,” explained Nicole Sampson, professor and chair in the Department of Chemistry. Sampson, who called Boon a “rising star in chemical biology,” said her colleague’s work is “providing a much needed molecular explanation for the communication that occurs between bacteria and animals.”

Biofilms have implications for human health, Boon said.

While they can be positive, generally speaking, she suggested, they are negative.

“A lot of diseases are caused by biofilms,” while biofilms may play a role with others as well, Boon said. “Open wounds that won’t heal are thought to be the result of biofilm injections around the wound, while people with cystic fibrosis get infections around their lungs.”

Biofilms also may play a part in hospital-borne infections.

In a biofilm, bacteria are up to 1,000 times more resistant to antibiotics, Boon said. The exact concentration at which the bacteria switches between a signal from the gas to a group defense varies from one species of bacteria to another.

Similar to hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen in red blood cells and carries it around the body, this protein attaches to

nitric oxide. The sensor protein usually causes a change that alters the concentration of cyclic di-GMP, a common bacterialsignaling molecule.

“The iron-containing protein we discovered has a sensitivity to nitric oxide” in low concentration, she said. In terms of a possible treatment of conditions that might improve with a reduction in biofilms, Boon explained that simply blocking the receptor for nitric oxide would cause considerably more harm than good because “anything we could think of to bind would interfere with our own nitric oxide or oxygenbinding protein,” she said.

Still, after the gas binds to the bacteria, there are reactions later on that are exclusive to bacteria.

Boon has also discovered a

She did her postdoctoral research in a lab that was characterizing iron proteins. The lab was studying nitric oxide in mammals.

Boon’s lab is down the hall from her husband’s, Isaac Carrico, who is in the same department. The chemists met in graduate school at the California Institute of Technology.

The couple lives in Stony Brook with their 5-year-old son, Cannon, and their 16-month-old daughter, Sheridan.

As for her work, Boon is eager to continue to find answers to so many unanswered questions.

“We’re constantly learning, which is subtly shifting the direction of our research,” she said.

“That will continue for a long time [because] there’s a whole lot we don’t understand.”

second protein that binds to nitric oxide, which is called NosP, for nitric oxide-sending protein. This protein has a different architecture from the original HNOx protein and may help explain how those same bacteria without HNOx still respond to the same gas.

Boon recognizes the potential opportunity to use any information for biofilm infections.

Boon, who is working with scientists at Stony Brook, Columbia and at Justus-LeibigUniversität Giessen in Germany, is proposing to work with computational biologists to screen the library of virtual molecules against bacterial proteins.

Boon was nearing the end of her Ph.D. research when she started working with proteins.

SBU’s Eric Speakman named America East Man of the Year Eric Speakman from Stony Brook cross country and track and field teams was tabbed the 2014-15 America East Man of the Year at the conference’s annual awards dinner on Mount Washington in Bretton Woods, N.H. The honor recognizes the conference’s senior male student-athlete who has best distinguished himself throughout his collegiate career in the areas of academic achievement, athletic excellence, service and leadership.

Speakman wrapped up his outstanding athletic career at the NCAA East Regional, advancing to the event’s second round. It was the second time he qualified for the NCAA Regionals in his career.

The multi-time All-Conference selection in track and field and four-time America East Scholar-Athlete award winner was the Most Outstanding Rookie at the 2012 America East Indoor Championship.

As impressive as he was on the track, Speakman was even more heralded as a cross country runner.

In the fall, he became just the fift h male to win the America East individual cross country title for a second time, also winning the race in 2012.

A double major in business and economics, Speakman graduated in May with a 3.90 cumulative GPA. He was a member of the Dean’s List every semester of his career and was a Stony Brook Presiden-

tial Scholar for having a perfect 4.0 semester GPA six times.

Also contributing to his recognition as the Man of the Year was his dedication to Stony Brook University and the community. He served as a three-year captain for the Seawolves’ cross country and track and field programs, volunteered as a PACK mentor, Red Watch Band member, Cerebral Palsy Quality Friend, and also served as the treasurer for the Stony Brook chapter of The Supply.

Also honored were 18 student-athletes from America East institutions for their dedication to bettering their community through service.

The men’s honoree from Stony Brook was Gabe Vazquez, who competed on the cross country and track and field teams, and the women’s honoree was Shannon Grogan, from the women’s soccer and track and field teams.

Vazquez is the president of The Supply Chapter at Stony Brook. The organization’s mission is to activate the urban slum youth to transform their communities through service learning. Additionally, he served as a Stony Brook University summer orientation leader, a SAAC representative and a PACK peer mentor.

Grogan is also a SAAC representative and PACK peer mentor. She was one of two student-athletes to serve in the Stony Brook University Student Ambassador Program, representing the university at

Additionally, Grogan volunteers once a week at the Stony Brook University’s Pediatric Oncology Unit through the Play it Forward program. During her visits, she spends time with patients and their families while they wait for treatment.

Innovation is the key at the Long Island Makers Festival

Calling all artisans, DIYers, amateur scientists, inventors, innovators and everyone in between: The first largescale Makers Festival is set to debut on Long Island this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Port Jefferson Village Center and Harborfront Park.

Presented and co-sponsored by the Maritime Explorium in Port Jefferson, the Long Island Makers Festival 2015 will feature a broad range of interactive exhibits including 3D printing, robotics, green screen technology, performance art, African drummers, roller skating, organic gardening and even geologists setting off volcanoes. The Explorium will also be open; there will be a “meet the scientist” booth and a horseshoe crab walk is scheduled. According to festival event coordinator Cindy Morris, the aim of the festival is to encourage the people who are already actively “making” as well as to show the community that innovation can happen anywhere.

“The common thread of the Maker Movement is accessible innovation,” Morris said. “The reality is that people have great ideas. We want to empower the ones who are creating.

We found some amazing people.”

Morris said that financial backers and high-tech equipment is no longer necessary for anyone looking to invent

and create. “This is something anyone can do. You don’t need a $5,000 piece of equipment. People are doing these things in their living rooms and garages.”

The Maker Movement is a mash up of lovers of art, science, technology, engineering, entrepreneurship and innovation who quite literally make things based on that love.

“These are people who are inventors, artists and scientists who are doing incredible things. We believe it was time to showcase what is going on here on Long Island.” Morris said the festival will include a group of men who make holograms and students who created their own 3D printer.

“We are taking concepts that feel big and powerful and making them accessible.”

Morris said that the festival motto is “Try it.” “The event is going to be very hands-on. No one could run an exhibit without it being interactive,” Morris said. “We are not just showing what was made, but we are focusing on what you can be doing.”

According to Lauren Hubbard, executive director of the Explorium, the festival will be an extension of what the Explorium does every day. A hands-on museum that features what Hubbard calls “open-ended exhibits,” the Explorium encourages visitors to build and create whatever they want.

“You can do the same activity and get a different outcome every time,” Hubbard said. “There are just a million things

that can be built.”

She said that the Makers Festival will offer visitors the same experience. “It’s all going to be hands-on and open ended,” Hubbard said. “We wanted to provide a venue for all Maker people to come together for a family friendly day.

There’s going to be something for everyone.”

Melora Loffreto is the founder of the festival co-sponsor KidOYO, a program geared toward children ages 7 to 17 that teaches computer programming and coding. She said that Makers festivals and fairs have been popping up in small-scale locations such as schools and libraries across Long Island, but the Port Jefferson festival is the largest so far. “They take place in larger cities and there is a big one in Queens, but this is really the first to come out this way,” Loffreto said.

She described the Makers Movement as particularly important to Long Island. “Our youth is funneling off the Island. The festival is going to say that we have lots of Makers here, we have the skill set and we want to inspire people to keep the talent local.” She said the Makers Movement and the upcoming festival will help to keep skills in the United States. “We want to spur on inventors and to inspire local youth to go down a path of inventing and engineering.”

Leaving a greener imprint on our planet

Annual Three Village Soccer Club Day Camp

Dates: August 17–21 • Time: 9am–12pm Grades: Kindergarten thru High School field location: Three Village Soccer Complex (For more detailed information go to www.stonybrooksoccer.com)

Have you ever thought about how much you could change things just by not throwing out your plastic bottle caps? By recycling plastic caps, you can actually raise money to buy wheelchairs for disabled children. A nonprofit organization known as Caps of Love does just that. This also has an environmental benefit. Caps thrown away are put in our landfills or burned, which harms the Earth if not recycled. Caps of Love recy-

cles two different grades of plastic caps, which are valuable in bulk.

Students at Scraggy Hill Elementary School in Port Jefferson have collected thousands and thousands of caps to date.

The elementary school Green Team and the Port Jefferson Free Library Green Teens will have a booth at Green Fest at the Port Jefferson Village Center on June 13. Together we can help others and leave a greener imprint on our planet.

My mom is the best

By Sophie Reed Age 8, South Setauket

My mom loves me so much. My mom makes me happy because I love her and no matter what she looks like she looks perfect to me.

My mom helps me all the time, but sometimes she says wait because she is busy and she comes back to

help me. Mom takes care of me a lot because I am the youngest. I love baking with my mom. We make chocolate chip brownies that are delicious. On Halloween my mom goes trick or treating with me. We collect lots of candy and eat it all up. I spend time with her but I do not care if it’s for fun or not. I still enjoy it no matter what. My mom is caring and fantastic. She is the best!

kids times ‘My mom is the best’

By Colin Spatz Age 8, South Setauket

My mom is the best because ... she helps me do my homework. She helps me do my math and spelling. She helped me with my country report. She also helped me with my state report. She also plays video games with me if we all want to. Sometimes we play Mario Bros and sometimes Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. Last year, for Christmas, my mom got me my very own tablet with Minecraft on it.

Minecraft is my favorite game. My mom lets me get anything I want. She lets my little sister do that too. There is no better mom than my mom.

‘My mother’

by Eric DiPalma Age 8, South Setauket Photo by elyse sutton

Kaylee Castrogiovanni, age 2, of Rocky Point and her mom Elizabeth pose with the cast of ‘Puss in Boots’ after the show last Saturday morning.

Wanted: Kids’ poetry and artwork Kids, send your poetry, artwork, jokes or photographs to Kids Times, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733, or email it to leisure@tbrnewspapers.com, and we’ll publish it as soon as we can. Please include your name, age and hometown.

My mother takes me to hockey and plays it with me. She drives to hockey almost every Friday and Saturday for my practices and sometimes just for fun. She bought me a new hockey stick for Christmas. She gets me video games and plays video games with me. My mom reads me books like “Liar, Liar” and “Scaredy Mouse.” She works hard as a teacher for my family to get money. She takes me to parties like ones at the Sports Arena. She takes me to play dates with my friends. That is why my mom is the best mom in the universe!
