MADE IN AMERICA Spending here makes a difference for friends and neighbors Walk or jog down a sidewalk early in the morning anywhere in our communities and the world of birds, chipmunks and squirrels darting from one yard to another in front of you feels fresh, new and full of potential. As you meander around the neighborhood, your mind might wander from the small thoughts that bounce around every day — do I have enough milk, when should I pick up the dry cleaning, how will I get my four kids to 12 activities this weekend?

Given the imminent celebration of Independence Day, you might reflect on the brave people who lived in or near your home who became a part of the Setauket spy ring.

Thoughts of how hard freedom is to win and how important it is to maintain might fill you with that early-morning pride that comes from believing you and those people rousing themselves out of bed in the morning can accomplish anything when you believe in something, even something as fundamental to our country’s identity as the rights Thomas Jefferson specified

in the Declaration of Independence: the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

As you pass stores whose lights flicker on, you might think about how proud Benjamin Franklin would be of the cuttingedge energy innovations at Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

You might think of the people who come to their jobs each morning, day after day for years, as teammates in our communities, selling goods made or, in some cases, grown in America.

These people enrich our towns by keeping their stores stocked with desirable goods — earrings for a recent high school graduate who will wear them when she stars in her first college play, flowers that help forge a connection with a romantic interest, or running shoes that helped a friend from the ground up as he changed his lifestyle and life for the better.

Their success, like those of the people we celebrate each Independence Day, is, directly and indirectly, our success. The

the same places where our walk or jog began. As we prepare to celebrate a history our country never takes for granted, we have a chance to contribute to the success of our friends, neighbors and countrymen who enrich our communities and our lives.

We encourage our readers to raise the flag high this July 4th, and every day. The choices we make when we decide how to spend our hard-earned money can and will enable our towns to march forward, as the Fourth of July fireworks remind us of the distant but not forgotten echoes of Patriots marching to the tune of flutes and snare drums. — Daniel Dunaief

businesses, services and offerings in our midst coexist and occupy places that allow each business to thrive, hiring our brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers, and offering our sons and daughters internships and opportunities that may become a springboard to their future achievements.

As the sun climbs into the sky and we get ready to lift our heads and our spirits amid fireworks, we have a chance to support our neighbors and our communities with the money we spend.

We may find earrings or a necklace that might one day become a family heirloom at Ecolin Jewelers, purchase flowers and plants made and grown at Pantaleon’s Farms, buy a sign that we plant on our front lawn that says “Welcome Friends” from Lasting Treasures, or find a meaningful artisanal craft that reminds us of our college roommate’s summer home on a quiet lake from The Gallery Shop at Gallery North.

The “Love” minidress, c. 1968; polyester; designed by Joel Schumacher for Paraphernalia, New York; on display with other dresses from that era in the Long Island Museum’s Long Island in the Sixties exhibition. The exhibit runs through Dec. 31.

The Long Island Sixties Fashion Scene “Long Live the Mini!” exclaimed a Newsday headline from June 6, 1969, with anecdotal evidence offered that Long Island women would never go back to plunging hemlines. I wear mine (hemlines) four to five inches above the knee, sometimes higher,” said Patchogue resident Mona Johannessen. “As far as I am concerned, well, I’m not wearing longer skirts. They’re not comfortable.” A coworker, Donna Kijowski, agreed. “Personally, I wear what is comfortable,” she said.

“Longer lengths are not only uncomfortable, they’re not good for morale.”

Another Newsday article from the same year indicated that “the beard and the miniskirt, two symbols of youth and rebellion ... finally have gained grudging acceptance on Long Island.”

The decade’s extremes hit the fashion world, from the runway to department store racks. And fashion customers had a growing variety of shopping choices.

Following the flow of population east-

ward, Long Island’s shopping possibilities expanded into Suffolk County, with the opening of Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington (1962), the South Shore Mall in Bay Shore (1963) and the Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove (1969).

There was also a wide and growing variety of beloved department stores expanding into every major community, either satellites to flagship New York City emporiums or emerging locally owned operations: Martins of Garden City, Arnold Constable and Abraham & Strauss of Hempstead, Lord & Taylor of Manhasset and Bloomingdale’s in Fresh Meadows.

As Lois Sabatella of Plainview relates, “I remember going to Gimbels with my mother so she could shop for a dress for Saturday night because people went out on Saturday night. As a teenager, someone was always having a party in their basement, so we’d buy a new top or a piece of fake jewelry or new makeup. You always had a purpose for coming to the mall.”

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

Cataracts’ effects extend far beyond the eye Prevention and treatment improve outcome Cataracts are incredibly common; about 50 percent of Americans will have a cataract or have had cataract surgery by age 80 (1). Cataracts, the nuclear type, reduce visual acuity in an insidious process. Cataract surgery can resolve this, reducing the risk of falls and hip fracture. At the same time, it can reduce pressure in the eye.

Interestingly, research suggests that a diet rich in carotenoids may prevent the occurrence of cataracts. However, statins may have the David reverse effect by inDunaief, M.D. creasing risk.

Let’s look at the evidence.

Hg. This is close to the low end of glaucoma treatments’ pressure reduction goals, which are 20 to 40 percent. Therefore, cataract surgery may be synergistic with traditional glaucoma treatment.

Cataract surgery and hip fracture

Cataract prevention with dietary carotenoids

In one study, elderly cataract patients who underwent surgery were significantly less likely to experience a hip fracture during a year of follow-up than those who did not have surgery (2). This was a retrospective (backward-looking) observational study, and its size was considerable, with over one million patients ages 65 and older. The results showed a 16 percent reduction in the risk of hip fractures overall.

Those who were older, between ages 80 and 84, had the most to gain, with a 28 percent reduction in hip fracture risk.

The increased fall risk and subsequent hip fracture risk among those with cataracts result from decreases in visual acuity and depth perception and a reduction in visual field that accompany cataracts (3).

Hip fractures have a tremendous impact on the ability of elderly patients to remain independent. Many of these patients do not regain their prior mobility. Thus, avoiding hip fractures is the best strategy.

Cataract surgery and intraocular pressure Yet another benefit of cataract surgery is the potential reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP). Why is intraocular pressure (pressure within the eye) important?

High IOP has been associated with an increased risk of glaucoma.

A comparative case series (looking at those with and without cataract surgery) utilizing data from the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study showed that those cataract patients with ocular hypertension (higher than normal pressure in the eye) who underwent cataract surgery saw an immediate reduction in IOP (4). This effect lasted at least three years. The removal of the cataract lowered the IOP by 16.5 percent from 23.9 mm Hg to 19.8 mm

Cataract surgery and macular degeneration risk There has been conflicting information in recent years about whether cataract surgery increases the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) progression.

A 2009 study suggested that, rather than increasing AMD risk, cataract surgery may uncover underlying AMD pathology that is hidden because the cataract obfuscates the view of the retina (back of the eye) (5).

The study’s strengths were the use color retinal photographs and fluorescein angiography (dye in blood vessels of eye), both very thorough approaches.

Diet may play a significant role in prevention of cataracts. In the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study, carotenoids, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin, seem to decrease cataract risk by 23 percent in women with high blood levels of carotenoids, compared to those with low blood levels (6). In fact, those in the highest quintile (the top 20 percent) had an even more dramatic 32 percent risk reduction when compared to those in the bottom quintile (the lowest 20 percent).

As the authors commented, it may not have been just lutein and zeaxanthin. There are more than 600 carotenoids, but these were the ones measured in the study. Some of the foods that are high in carotenoids include carrots, spinach, kale, apricots and mango, according to the USDA. Interestingly, half a cup of one of the first three on a daily basis will far exceed the recommended daily allowance. Thus, it takes a modest consistency in dietary carotenoids to see a reduction in risk.

to maintain supplementation for a 10-year period.

Those who took vitamin C for fewer than 10 years saw no effect in prevention of cataracts. In the well-designed Age-Related Eye Disease Study, a randomized controlled trial, the gold standard of studies, those who received 500 mg of vitamin C supplements along with other supplements did not show any cataract risk reduction, compared to those who did not receive these supplements (1). There were 4,629 patients involved in the cataract study with a duration of 6.3 years of daily supplement consumption. Therefore, I would not rush to take vitamin C as a cataract preventative.

Statin use Statins have both positive and negative effects, and the effect on the eyes according to one sizable study is negative. In the Waterloo Eye Study with over 6,000 participants, those patients taking statins were at a 57 percent increased risk of cataracts (8). Diabetes patients saw an increased risk of cataracts as well. And in diabetes patients, statins seem to increase the rate at which cataracts occurred.

The authors surmise that this is because higher levels of cholesterol may be needed for the development of epithelial (outer layer) cells and transparency of the lens. This process may be blocked with the use of statins. Before considering discontinuing statins, it is important to weigh the risks with the benefits.

Thus, if you have diminished vision, it may be due to cataracts. It is important to consult an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and, perhaps, cataract surgery, which can reduce your risks of falls, hip fractures and intraocular pressure.

For those who do not have cataracts, a diet rich in carotenoids may significantly reduce their risk of occurrence.

Cataracts are a natural result of aging.

Vitamin C effect The impact of vitamin C on cataract risk may depend on the duration of daily consumption. In other words, 10 years seems to be the critical duration needed to see an effect. According to one study, those participants who took 500 mg of vitamin C supplements for 10 or more years saw a 77 percent reduction in risk (7). However, only very few women achieved this goal in the study, demonstrating how difficult it is

HISTORY

Culper Spy Day 2015 exhibit opens

Setauket Library hosts photographic display by Mimi Hodges

’The past is never dead.

It’s not even past.’

— William Faulkner

Photo by Florence McArdle

Mimi Hodges

By ErnEstinE Franco History happens all around us every day, especially when no one is looking. Of course, it’s not history until someone remembers it, studies it and celebrates it.

In case you missed last year’s Culper Spy Day event, Emma S. Clark Memorial Library in Setauket will debut a photographic exhibit depicting the locations of that historic period in American history in July. Titled My Journey Through History, the display will showcase photographs of Culper Spy Day 2015 by local amateur photographer Mimi Hodges of Sound Beach and highlights Setauket’s role in the Revolutionary War.

‘I hope [this exhibit] allows others to see what I am seeing and to understand the intentions and moods of my photos.’

— mimi Hodges It was a love of history that attracted Hodges to the Culper Spy Day event organized by the Three Village Historical Society last June. But she did not go alone — she brought her camera and her “eye.” Like everyone else, she recognizes the names of George Washington, Benedict Arnold and Valley Forge when thinking of Revolutionary America. But how many people recognize the names of Abraham Woodhull, Caleb Brewster, Anna Smith Strong, Samuel Culper and Setauket?

Hodges considers herself an amateur photographer mostly because she has been rigorous in practicing her photography for a relatively short time. She was born in Manhattan and her family

had roots in Florida and on Long Island. Growing up, during trips to visit family, her father let her take pictures and then she received a Pentax as a college graduation gift. She spent a few years taking pictures and learning to develop her own prints.

Then life intervened and for a few decades she lost touch with photography. She started taking her Pentax camera on frequent trips to England; then in the 1990s she borrowed her brother’s digital camera — she swore she would get her own digital camera. It was not until Hodges retired after some 30 years as an academic adviser and an assistant dean at Pace University in New York City that she came back to photography.

“I did [get my own digital camera] a few years later but didn’t get into the digital production of photos until recently, when I started taking classes in photography at the OLLI [Osher Lifelong Learning Institute] program at Stony Brook,” she said. Her friend Jay Gammill encouraged her to join a photo group on Facebook that has a photo-a-day requirement.

Hodges was happy to discuss the kind of cameras she has had since the Pentax in a recent interview. “I have two cameras.

My first digital camera, a Nikon ‘point and shoot’ that I loved, died on New Year’s Day 2014. I [then] bought an Olympus OM-D (DSLR) because it is light in the hand and has image stabilization.” This winter she had problems with it and had to send it off for repairs. “I couldn’t bear to be without a camera, so I bought a Nikon D5300, relatively inexpensively. I use the Olympus most and I hope to get a macro lens for it, but because the Nikon has a better sensor, I hope to get a midrange lens for it. No new camera on the horizon!”

Photos by Mimi Hodges

clockwise from top left, ‘the church Docents’; ‘the spy Ferry’; ‘Welcome’; and ‘the sitting room’ will be on display at the Emma clark Library throughout July.

Hodges credits her 10th-grade history teacher, Louis Brody, from the Garden School in Jackson Heights, with instilling in her a love of history. When asked what made her attend the event last year she said, “There was an article in the Times Beacon that mentioned the event, and I thought it would be fun to go.” When explaining why she took the photos she did, she said, “I take photos when something catches my eye. I am trying to learn why something catches my eye, and I am beginning to understand that better than I did.” The photographers at OLLI “have gone a long way in helping me see what I am seeing.”

The exhibit includes approximately 13 photographs that depict many of the locations that were part of the activities of the Culper Spy Ring. When asked what she hopes people will take away from the exhibit, Hodges

said, “I hope they see the history that is in their backyards. I hope they see how hard it was for the folks living in this amazing part of the world in the 1700s, and I hope they see that it was also exciting and stimulating.”

Photography is now a large part of Hodges’ life. When asked where she would like to be with her photography in the future, she was very expansive. “I enjoy the visual emotions that photos generate. I hope [this exhibit] allows others to see what I am seeing and to understand the intentions and moods of my photos.

Going forward, I hope to get a balance of intuitive and informed photography (for myself). I do know I want to continue to enjoy it for as long as I can.”

This is Hodges’ first exhibit and she admits she was somewhat surprised when Nancy McCaffrey of the Emma Clark

Library got in touch with her and invited her to be part of the Culper Spy Day. Hodges credits Times Beacon Record Newspapers for printing a photo essay of some of her photos of the Brewster House (Dec. 17, 2015), which led to the invitation.

In any case, she manages to combine a love of history with a passion for photography. When asked which photo in the exhibit is her favorite, Hodges chose “The Sitting Room,” because it has the same nuances as a painting by her favorite artist, the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.

My Journey Through History will be on display at Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, 120 Main St., Setauket, through the month of July and will be a part of the Culper Spy Day celebration on Saturday, July 23, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information call 631-941-4080.

considering the consequences. First, it may not be possible to name beneficiaries on all your accounts. What if your beneficiaries are minor’s or disabled? If that is the case, the minor or disabled beneficiary would have to have a guardian appointed to collect the bequest. This is also timely.

For minor’s, the guardian would have to put the money in a bank account, earn little or no interest and turn the money over to the beneficiary when he or she turned 18. If the account was a retirement account, the result is even harsher. The IRA or other retirement account would have to be liquidated, all income taxes paid and then put into a custodial account at a bank, earn little interest and then be paid to the beneficiary at age 18.

Most clients, when given the choice, would rather protect their heirs from divorcing spouses, Medicaid liens, creditors and taxes than avoid probate. We can protect beneficiaries by having their assets paid to trusts. This can be done in a will (and pro-

bate) or by avoiding probate altogether by using a revocable trust.

The important point here is that it is a mistake to make the avoidance of probate the overriding consideration when embarking upon an estate plan. Not everyone needs a revocable trust, but some people will be well served by using a trust, if the circumstances make probate impractical.

One size does not fit all. A successful estate plan takes all factors into consideration.

In a world where people are computer savvy and everything is available on the internet, it is easy to believe that you can just do it yourself. The fact is attorneys are called counselors at law for a reason. The documents are only part of the problem and solution. The fact is, there is no substitute for competent legal advice.

He was his own man. He wouldn’t wear a uniform while serving his country and would fire at the British whenever he could. Being a trained whale boat captain, he could pilot his boat out of reach of the British guns quickly and safely. Though they wanted to capture him, the British never could.

What is your favorite memory from filming the “Culper Spy Adventure”?

Working with this wonderful cast and crew has been a joy that I will always remember! We all helped each other. Whether with

character development or with something technical. The whole filming process has been a treat! Every scene I was involved in, every cast member I worked with, every direction given, everything just seemed to come together perfectly. Like it was meant to be. I hope we’ll be filming more in the near future!

What was it like bringing a character back to life two centuries after his death?

This was an honor for me! Growing up, I never even heard of a Long Island spy ring during the Revolutionary War. When I was approached by Michael Tessler about filming the “Culper Spy Adventure,” I knew I had to find out who Caleb Brewster was. I had gotten three books about the spy ring to read,watched the first season of “Turn” and attended a lecture on the subject. While I still only feel like I’ve just scratched the surface, I was able to start to “feel” Caleb.

I will be looking for information on him for as long as I play him.

What do you think Caleb Brewster would think of this project?

I truly think Caleb would be proud of the efforts made. I’m sure he’d take me aside to discuss how he did what he did.

Wouldn’t THAT be a great class to sit in on! When the Revolutionary War ended, the Culper Spy Ring just kind of dissolved. Everybody went their own way.

Nobody really discussed what they did and the parts they played to help win the war. There were no parades or big honors given. If Caleb Brewster and the rest of the group could be here and see their history, their lives being exalted today, I believe they would be pleased. They would be modest and maybe a little embarrassed. After all, they were serving a Great Cause! And they all had the hearts to do what they did!

Art exhibit

The Natural Beauty of Plum Island to open at the PJVC

By EllEn BarcEl The Port Jefferson Village Center will present a very special exhibit, The Natural Beauty of Plum Island, from July 2 through Aug. 30. Two artists, photographer Robert Lorenz and painter John H. Sargent, will be showcasing approximately 70 of their works.

Shown previously in Connecticut and the East End of Long Island (including Plum Island itself), this is the first time that the show will be presented so far west. Lorenz, who lives in Connecticut but works in New York City, said, “I’m looking forward to having the show getting closer to New York City.” He added that the PJVC is such a great venue for showing the work because of its large size.

Sue Orifici (head of Graphic, Archival & Special Projects at the PJVC) noted that while the exhibit touches on the fact that the animal disease research at Plum Island is being moved, and the island scheduled to be sold, “mostly [the exhibit] is about the art.” She added, “The artists wanted people to understand how much life there is on the island.”

“The bulk of the island is undeveloped — about 85 percent — in its natural state,” said Lorenz.

Plum Island (technically part of Southold Township) is particularly important to the Long Island area, now, since the work on animal diseases research, carried out by the federal government, is scheduled to be moved to Kansas. Plans to sell the island for development have been met with much controversy. The Preserve Plum Island Coalition is working to keep the island undeveloped.

The island is currently under the control of the Department of Homeland Security.

In 2009 Congress passed legislation that stipulated that if the animal disease center was moved off the island, the government could sell the island subject to government interests, to the highest bidder.

“The animal research facility on Plum Island is still very active,” said Lorenz. “It has a long list of wonderful accomplishments. It’s the premier lab of its type in the world.” He noted that one of the major research accomplishments of the lab has been the control of hoof and mouth disease. “There has not been an outbreak in this country since the 1920s.” But it is found in other countries that rely on the lab for assistance. Because of its research projects, access to the island has been very limited. But, said Lorenz, “the years of secrecy did them no good,” as far as public relations is concerned.

The island consists of 830 acres of both wildlife habitat and historically significant sites such as the Plum Gut lighthouse built in 1870 and the 1897 Fort Terry army barracks and weapons batteries. The island was originally home to Native Americans who sold the island to a colonist in the 1600s. It is also home to threatened and endangered species of plants and animals.

Noted Sargent, “It is the largest seal haul out in southern New England.” Anywhere from 180 to 200 seals at a time can be seen on the rocky southern side of the island, he said.

Photos by Robert Lorenz; paintings by John H. Sargent

clockwise from top left, ‘Plum Island northeast View’; ‘northeaster on South Side of Plum’; ‘Middle of Plum at Sunrise’; ‘The neck — Plum Island’ How did this unique exhibit come about? Lorenz and Sargent met on a tour of Plum Island organized by Save the Sound, a bi-state project of the nonprofit, Connecticut Fund for the Environment.

“I was the only person allowed to photograph the island,” said Lorenz, who had applied beforehand and gone through a vetting process.

While Lorenz was photographing the natural beautify of the island, Sargent was sketching. Said Sargent, “Because we had to be escorted it didn’t allow me time to paint [on the scene] … I did most of my work in the studio,” based on his sketches and photographs as well as some of Lorenz’ photos.

A representative from Save the Sound suggested producing a traveling exhibit together. “Because access to Plum Island was limited, I saw it as a challenge,” said Lorenz who was always interested in environmental issues. “We went out 12 to 14 more times over a two-year period,” to photograph and sketch the island.

“We were told when we could go out,” so the time of day and weather varied with each visit.

“In our shows we have some images that are similar,” a photo and a painting of the same scene said Sargent. These will be shown side by side. But many of their other works are very different and grouped by themes: night scenes, bluffs, winter scenes, etc. There are also scenes of the historic lighthouse.

Sargent was an art teacher for many years. Retired now, he is a professional, freelance artist who works in acrylics and pastels. “I have lived along the Connecticut shore most of my life, along the waters of Long Island Sound. I have an appreciation of the beauty and a concern for the health of the Sound,” he noted.

Chris Cryder of the Preserve Plum Island Coalition will be making a presentation at the opening reception. According to Laura McMillan, of the Connecticut Fund for the Environment, the coalition consists of 60 to 70 organizations and individuals working to prevent the development of the island. “Plum Island is not just a local, but a regional and even global area of concern,” she said.

Cryder noted that half of his presentation will be a virtual tour of the island.

There will also be a panel discussion with several legislators [as of this writing, NYS Assemblyman Steven Englebright (D-Setauket) and NYS Senator Kenneth LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) are scheduled to attend] discussing the current status of legislation pending in Congress. Cryder added that the Town of Southold created a conservation zone on the island.

If the legislation requiring the sale of the island is repealed, Cryder added that there are a number of possible uses for the island, “another research center? A renewable energy research lab? A marine research lab?” Possibly the island could be transferred to the National Parks Service.

Long-term goals include saving the jobs of many of the people who work on Plum Island, saving the endangered species and opening up the island to public access — ecotourism.

The Natural Beauty of Plum Island, featuring work by Robert Lorenz and John Sargent, will be on view at the Port Jefferson Village Center, 101A East Broadway from July 2 through Aug. 30.

An opening reception, to which all are invited, will be held on Thursday, July 7, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Both artists will be in attendance.

For further information, call 631802-2160 or visit www.portjeff.com/facilities/village-center. The center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (10 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday).

Volunteers in the garden: Welcome or unwelcome?

By EllEn BarcEl

Many times a plant appears in the garden that the gardener didn’t plant. A weed? Perhaps, but it really helps to know what seedlings and young plants look like so that you can see if a “volunteer” is a prize or a pain.

Among the not-really-wanted plants that easily volunteer in the garden include dandelions, onion grass, garlic mustard, wineberries, multiflora roses and oriental bittersweet. While onion grass is a mild nuisance, just mow over it, garlic mustard easily grows to a foot or more in height and is really unsightly.

Wineberries are an invasive plant, related to raspberries, that can be spread by birds. The berries are definitely edible, but not nearly as tasty as raspberries. If you want raspberries, then plant them and pull out the wineberries — carefully because they have thorns.

Multiflora roses are attractive, with many (hence the term multiflora) blooms in early June borne on arching canes.

Years ago, they were planted by many Long Island gardeners because of their rapid growth and dense habit. They were even sold as a living fence for cattle. But, and here’s the big but, they are extremely invasive. Like wineberries, be careful pulling them out because of the thorns.

Another volunteer that is extremely invasive is oriental bittersweet. It’s very pretty with its red berries that break open to reveal yellow seeds, but it’s definitely invasive. Lesser celandine has pretty yellow flowers in the spring but, again, is very invasive.

Note that wineberries, multiflora roses and oriental bittersweet as well as lesser celandine are all on Suffolk County’s Do Not Sell List. However, there are so many here already and they are so easily spread, especially by birds, that it’s still a battle getting rid of these invasives.

On the other hand, there are a number of volunteers that are welcome in the garden. Reseeding plants that you’ve put in the garden are wonderful. They may not be perennials but they’re almost as good.

In this category includes the money plant (Lunaria) with its purple flowers and silvery seed pods.

Many years ago, a small tree planted itself in my back yard. Curious as to what it was, I left it alone and it matured into a gorgeous tree covered in pink flowers in the spring. I never did figure out what it was — there were a number of possibilities. It could have been some variety of cherry, but it never bore fruit, so I never did find out. It was a welcome volunteer and sadly missed when one spring, it became obvious that it didn’t make it through the previous harsh winter.

Another volunteer that is most welcome in my garden was also filled with pink flowers. Again, I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was until it started to produce peaches. Unfortunately, the variety were small and bitter, so I don’t use them instead allowing the local critters to dine.

But, I don’t take the trees out either, be-

cause they produce nice shade and those beautiful flowers.

I’ve had rose of Sharon and holly also seed themselves in the garden, both welcome plants. On the other hand, the thistle that seeded itself by my front door, while interesting, was a danger. Tiny maple trees (Norway maple, Acer platanoides) try to take over my garden — they’re everywhere. Simply cutting them off at ground level with a pruning shears usually works, and small ones can be easily pulled out especially after a rain.

Another beneficial volunteer is clover in the lawn. It’s a nitrogen fixing plant that takes nitrogen from the air and stores it in its roots. It attracts pollinators and is low maintenance. However, many broadspectrum weed killers will kill it, so read the label carefully of any products you consider using.

When you find any of these volunteers, remove the nasty ones, but allow some of the questionable ones to grow a while and mature so that you can figure out whether you have a bonus in the garden or not.

They may provide you with a beautiful tomorrow in your garden.

An excellent book to help you identify some unknown plants and decide whether or not they’re keepers is “Weeds of the North East,” by Richard H. Uva, Joseph C.

book review

‘The Bittersweet Taste of the American Dream’

By Darlene Sells Treadwell

Family Memoir Reviewed by Colm Ashe

The bittersweet tale of Setauket’s unsung hero In terms of social prevalence, bigotry and sexism have decreased dramatically over the last century. However, many still remember a world where minorities and women were considered second-class citizens. Darlene Sells Treadwell is one of those people.

In her new book, “The Bittersweet Taste of the American Dream,” the 74-year Setauket native tells the true story of her grandmother — a Native American with African roots and a special knack for cooking who fell prey to a cutthroat corporate money game.

Treadwell, who currently resides in Georgia, will be traveling to Long Island this weekend to present copies of her book to the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library and the Three Village Historical Society.

She will hold a book signing event where she will share her family story with the attendees. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Treadwell by phone.

she would be on all these new cooking shows! Instead, she died heartbroken and disillusioned from her trust in the big buys and the industry… that they would do the right thing.

How did the cooking industry take advantage of Grandma Em? They stole her recipe. They began the process slowly, never blatantly, but persistently eased knowledge of the recipe away. I have a letter from The National Biscuit Company asking her to bring in four bags and to identify the ingredients.

She even tried to reach out to her hero, Jackie Robinson, to intervene when she realized she’d been had. This transgression prevented her from accumulating her rightful place in history. I have all of the proof in the book: letters between attorneys and employees at the National Biscuit Company, names and signatures, her recipes.

What can you tell me about your grandmother?

When did she realize her recipe had

Her name was Ms. Emma Francis Calvin Sells of Old Field, Long Island, New York, and she was apart of the Setauket Indian Tribe. She was also of African American descent. She was the daughter of Clifford and Abby, and married Charles Augustus Sells of Setauket on Jan. 11, 1917, at the age of 18. She was my heroine in the kitchen. I always imagined her as a Black Native American Julia Child. If she was around today

been stolen?

1949. She was at the supermarket when she saw the first ever Ready-toUse Corn Bread Mix on the shelf — with her recipe on the back of the box.

She dropped to her knees crying in the middle of the aisle, realizing the last 12 years of working with the National Biscuit Company to make her dream a reality were nothing but a scam.

How was the story passed on to you?

When Grandma Em died at the age of 74, we slowly went through her list of belongings. We came across a blue hat box.

And this was handed to me, that’s how I wrote the book. Upon opening, I unfolded years of sentimental holdings to her heritage, her recipes and her lost dreams. It was given to me to decipher what went wrong and slowly, piece by piece, I carefully, and tearfully, read her notes and recipes. And I could feel her frustration and pain and suffering as she waited patiently for news from patent attorneys and inventors. I read and wept as they lead her on and on, sent her to their New York offices in vain, to sit and wait and wait. From 1937 to 1949.

Why did you want to write this book?

I want to make peace with this injustice and I want to see if they want to right a wrong. No civil attorney can help me because the companies can change one ingredient and it’s no longer litigable. Plus, it’s too late. That corporation (now called Nabisco) benefited from the free labor and ideas of my little old grandma. I wanted to give Grandma Em the power and the humanity that was denied to her that time in history.

I just wanted to … publicly honor her ingenuity and entrepreneurial achievements.

above, the cover of darlene sells treadwell’s new book

I’m the last surviving member of the family. I’m 74. When I’m gone, that blue hat box is gone. I wanted to write the book so she could receive her accolades. I did not want to die with her story untold. I don’t want to publicize myself. I really just want to give honor to my Grandma.

Will you be holding any book signings in our area?

I’m doing a book signing at the Three Village Historical Society. They have an exhibit on the Setauket Indians now — the tribe my grandmother was apart of.

I’ll be there on Sunday, July 3, from 2 to 4 p.m., but the reading starts at 3.

You can join the Times Beacon Record at Darlene’s book signing as she recounts this tragic, yet hopeful story of a local Setauket legend who deserves her place in history. The Three Village Historical Society is located at 93 North Country Road in Setauket. For more information, please call 631-751-3730.

May the teachings of those you admire become a part of you so that you may call upon them. It is the content and quality of who you are that is important, not merely the actions you take.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, or stop at the introduction. Read it through, seek the meaning and messages it offers for life, for everyone’s life is sacred, and even those who are different from you or whom you do not like.

Be more inclusive than exclusive. Don’t be blinded by those who tend to use shame, blame and guilt to shackle people down and divide them. Set people free with your respect and nonjudgmental way.

Fr. Pizzarelli, SMM, LCSW-R, ACSW, DCSW, is the director of Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson.

May your moral compass be grounded in respect for all human beings, no matter what their color, their race, their creed or their sexual orientation. May this compass guide you on a path that is committed to working for peace and social justice. As Gandhi once said, “Be the change you hope for in the world.”

SBU’s Moll finds gene for airway cleaners

By Daniel Dunaief Some day, people may be able to breathe easier because of a cancer researcher.

No, Ute Moll doesn’t work on respiration; and, no, she doesn’t study the lungs.

What Moll, research scientist Alice Nemajerova and several other collaborators did recently, however, was explain the role of an important gene, called p73, in the formation of multiciliated cells that remove pollutants like dust from the lungs.

Initially, scientists had studied a knockout mouse, which lacked the p73 gene, to see if the loss of this gene would cause mice to develop cancers, the way they did for p73’s well-studied cousin p53.

Researc her s Spotlighting discoveries at were sur(1) Cold Spring Harbor Lab prised that (2) Stony Brook University those mice (3) Brookhaven National Lab without p73 didn’t get cancer, but found other problems in the development of their brains, which included abnormalities in the hippocampus.

While each of these mice had a respiratory problem, researchers originally suspected the breathing difficulties came from an immune response, said Moll, the vice chair for experimental pathology and professor of pathology at Stony Brook University.

A board-certified anatomical and clinical pathologist who does autopsies and trains residents at Stony Brook, Moll took a closer look and saw an important difference between these mice and the so-called wild type, which has an intact p73 gene.

“Microscopic examinations of many types clearly showed that the multiciliated cells in the airways were severely defective,” she explained. “Instead of a lawn of dense long broom-like motile cilia on their cell surface which created a strong directional fluid flow across the windpipe surface, the [knockout] cells had far fewer cilia, and the few cilia present were mostly short stumps that lost 100 percent of their clearance function.”

This finding, which was published in the journal Genes & Development, could have implications for lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, which affects more than 330 million people around the world and is the third leading cause of death.

The discovery provides “the long-awaited explanation for the diverse phenotypes of the p73 knockout mice,” wrote Elsa Flores, a professor of molecular oncology at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, in a commentary of the work.

In an email, Flores said Moll is a “wonderful collaborator and colleague” whose “meticulous” work is “held in high regard.”

Carol Prives, Da Costa professor in biological sciences at Columbia University, suggested this was a “very significant finding.”

Moll and her scientific team went beyond showing that the loss of the p73 gene

They took stem cells from the trachea, which can grow on a culture dish into a range of other cells. With the proper nutrients and signals, these stem cells can grow back into a fully differentiated respiratory epithelium.

The organotypic culture had the same defects as the knockout mice. The scientists then used a lentivirus to insert a copy of the functioning p73 gene. The cells in the culture developed a complete set of long, motile cilia.

“It’s a complete rescue experiment,” Moll said. “This closes the circle of proof that” p73 is responsible for the development of these structures that clean the lungs.

In addition to the lungs, mammals also develop these cilia in two other areas, in the brain and in the fallopian tubes.

There could be a range of p73 deficiencies and some of these could be indicative of vulnerability or susceptibility to lungrelated problems that are connected to incomplete cilia. This could be particularly valuable to know in more polluted environments, where the concentration of dust or pollutants is high.

Moll plans to “find tissue banks from COPD patients” in which she might identify candidate alleles, or genes, that have a partial loss of function that would contribute to the reduction in the cilia cells.

While Moll will continue to work on respiration and p73 in mice, she described her broader research goals as “gene-centric,” in which she studies the entire p53 family, which includes p53, p63 and p73.

Colleagues suggested that she has made important and unexpected discoveries with p53.

“She was among the first to show that in some pathological states, p53 is sequestered in the cytoplasm rather than in the nucleus,” Prives, who has known Moll for 25 years, explained in an email. “This led to her original and very unexpected discovery that p53 associates with mitochondria and plays a direct role in mitochondrial cell

’If humankind doesn’t wake up soon, we are going to saw off the branch we’re sitting on.’

— Ute Moll death. She was very courageous in that regard since the common view was that p53 works only in the nucleus.”

Moll was raised in Germany and earned her undergraduate and medical degrees in Ulm, the same town where Albert Einstein grew up. She lives in Setauket with her husband, Martin Rocek, a professor of theoretical physics at SBU. The couple has two sons, 26-year-old Thomas, who is involved in reforestation in Peru, and 29-year-old Julian, a documentary filmmaker focusing on environmental themes.

Moll is also focused on the environment.“If humankind doesn’t wake up soon, we are going to saw off the branch we’re sitting on,” she warns. One of Moll’s pet peeves is car idling. She walks up to the windows of people sitting in idling cars and asks if they could turn off the engine.

As for her work with p73, she feels as if she is “just at the beginning. This is a rich field.”

Jameel Warney will be suiting up for the Dallas Mavericks in the 2016 Southwest Airlines Orlando Pro Summer League from July 2-8.

The 25-game, seven-day event will feature two teams from the Orlando Magic, along with the Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Mavericks open their schedule next Saturday against the Thunder. All games will be played at Amway Center, Orlando’s practice facility.

Warney wrapped up his illustrious career as Stony Brook’s all-time leader in points with 2,132, rebounds with 1,275, blocks with 276 and games played with 135.

The three-time America East Player of the Year averaged a career-best 19.8 points per game in 33 games last season, finishing with a school-record 655 points.

The 6-foot, 8-inch, 260-pound forward averaged 30.3 points and 15.3 during the playoffs and scored a career-high 43 points in the championship game against the University of Vermont, as the Seawolves advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time as a Division I program.

Six Seawolves named to US Women’s National Team tryout pool

Six members of the 2016 Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team were named to the 105-player tryout pool for the 2017 U.S. Women’s National Team, with tryouts to be held from Aug. 5-7 at the national team training center at US Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Maryland.

Senior Alyssa Fleming, juniors Jessica Volpe and Kristin Yevoli, sophomores Samantha DiSalvo and Kylie Ohlmiller, and freshman Anna Tesoriero will represent

the Seawolves during the three-day tryout camp for the National Team.

Following the tryout, approximately 36 players will be selected for the US team, which will train in the lead-up to the 2017 Federation of International Lacrosse Women’s World Cup in Guildford, England. Ultimately, 18 players will represent the U.S. as the team goes for a third consecutive and eighth overall world title.
