KNOWLEDGE

BNL’s Camino teams up to reveal fine structures

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

An ant’s hair might one day cool you off. The Saharan silver ant, which searches for food in such extreme heat that a predator, the desert lizard, often can’t pursue it, may hold the key for builders, designers and manufacturers looking to make the summer heat more bearable. An international team led by Columbia University’s Nanfang Yu and Norman Nan Shi discovered how these ants, which are 3/8 of an inch in length, cope in temperatures that reach as high as 158 degrees Fahrenheit. To keep their body temperatures below their critical thermal maximum of 128 degrees, the ants use silver hairs to reflect visible and near-infrared light. In the mid-infrared range, they also help the ant’s body give up heat to the sky. To help understand how these hairs might help, the Columbia researchers submitted a proposal to the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Fernando Camino helped reveal their cross-sectional structure while Matthew Sfeir measured the reflectivity of the hairs. Camino worked with Nan Shi to get a closer look at hairs that are on the top and sides of the ant’s body. Using ion beam milling, Camino and Nan Shi found that the hair has a triangular cross section that is reflective under visible and near-infrared light, which includes the spectrum that has maximum solar radiation. The hair also serves as an anti-reflection layer in the mid-infrared region. Without this hair, the ants would be 5 to 10 degrees hotter. The scientists reported their results in Science Express online in June. “The results of this [research] could lead to applications that could benefit society,” said Camino. Camino said the ion beam is like the equivalent of sun blasting with a hose of water, except on a much finer level. “Once you direct the water on the dirt,

it starts making a hole,” he said. “That’s what the [focused ion beam] does on a nanoscale.” For uses in the field of electronics, the ion beam blasts through dense structures like silicon to see individual layers. With the Saharan silver ant hair, however, the beam required adjustments to avoid melting the hair. “That was my contribution — to fi nd the best parameters to achieve this purpose of exposing the structure without damaging it,” he said. Chuck Black, the group leader in Materials Synthesis and Characterization at BNL, said the work Camino and Sfeir contributed underscores the importance of the facility. “This project is a great example of the value of Department of Energy user facilities such as the Center for Functional Nanomaterials,” said Black, who is Camino’s boss. Black said researchers “appreciate [Camino’s] technical abilities and his interest in tackling difficult measurements.” Camino mixes his time between helping other scientists achieve their goals and pursuing his own research. Camino’s own research includes working on how to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells. By putting a thin layer of metal on the surface of a solar cell, researchers can create an intense electric field that has the potential to enhance the collection of solar energy. The focused ion beam enables Camino and his colleagues to pattern this metal layer, using small holes that can focus the energy. Th is is an ongoing project with challenges including reducing the reflectivity of the metal. Camino’s specialty is in plasmonics, where he is trying to find other energy applications. A resident of Port Jefferson Station, Camino lives with his wife Patricia, their 16-year-old daughter Amelia and their 7-year-old daughter Fernanda. Camino and his wife were born in Peru and

came to Long Island, sight unseen, in 1996, when Camino pursued his Ph.D in physics at Stony Brook University. Camino’s father Josue, who was a doctor, told his son not to pursue a career in medicine because of the long professional journey. Camino started working in electrical engineering,

where he developed an interest in the basic principles behind the formulas he memorized. Ironically, his physics path proved longer than it would have been in medicine. When he told his parents he was pursuing his interest in physics, they asked what he could do when he finished

studying. The answer lay in the United States. “I’m very grateful for this country for the path it gave me,” he said. “Th is is a great opportunity.” As for Camino’s work, Black offered positive reviews. “[Camino] works extremely hard and tries to give time for everyone.”

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

If you or a family member ever worked at a power plant, you could have been exposed to asbestos. To keep your right to compensation if you become ill in the future (or have asbestos-related illness today), you must submit a claim by December 14, 2015, at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time. Energy Future Holdings Corp., Ebasco Services, Inc., EECI, Inc. and certain subsidiaries (“EFH”) owned, operated, maintained, or built certain power plants across the United States and in other countries where asbestos was present. Workers at these power plants (and family members and others who came into contact with these workers) may have been exposed to asbestos. Anyone who has a claim today against EFH for asbestos-related illness or who may develop an asbestos-related illness in the future, must submit a claim by December 14, 2015, at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time to be eligible for compensation now or in the future.

What is asbestos? Asbestos is a fiber which was used as insulation in walls, wires, pipes, boilers, generators, steam traps, pumps, valves, electrical boards, gaskets, packing material, turbines, compressors, cement and cement pipes. Workers responsible for building and maintaining power plants and equipment also wore insulated clothing or gear that may have contained asbestos. Virtually all power plants built before 1980 used or contained asbestos-containing products. Asbestos-related illnesses can be very serious or fatal and include diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, stomach cancer and asbestosis. Even if your exposure to asbestos was many years ago and you are not sick today, this notice could affect you. Asbestos-related illness can occur decades and even 50 years after the exposure to asbestos that caused the illness.

Which power plants are included? You or a family member could have been exposed at any of the power plants related to EFH. These power plants were located across the United States and some in foreign countries. For a list of the included power plants, visit the website below or call 1-877-276-7311.

How could this affect me? You could have been exposed to asbestos if you or a family member worked at any of the included power plants as an employee, a contractor, or in any other role. You also could have been exposed by coming in contact with another person who worked at a power plant (for example, if asbestos was brought home on your spouse or parent’s clothing). You may also file a claim on behalf of a deceased family member.

What do I do now? If you believe that you or a family member may have been exposed to asbestos at an included plant, submit a claim by December 14, 2015, at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time. Go to www.EFHAsbestosClaims.com to submit your claim online. To get a paper claim form, visit the website or call 1-877-276-7311. Submitting a claim preserves your right to ask for money if you develop asbestosrelated illness in the future. You can submit a claim yourself or you can ask a lawyer to help you. If you are not ill today, completing a claim takes about five minutes.

What if I do nothing? If you do not submit a claim and later develop asbestos-related disease, you will not be eligible for compensation from EFH. Even if you have not been diagnosed with disease or experienced symptoms, you must make a claim to preserve your right to compensation if you develop an asbestos-related illness in the future.

File a Claim Now Go to www.EFHAsbestosClaims.com to file a claim online or call 1-877-276-7311 to request a claim form be sent to you.

Caveat emptor with herbal supplements Reviewing claims on medicinal herbs

Coumadin; some are incorrectly labeled regarding contents or doses; some include unlabeled medications in the bottles; and some cause side-effects. Just because they are said to be natural, doesn’t mean they’re safe. Let’s look at the evidence.

Content of herbal supplements

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

Millions of Americans take herbal supplements. In fact, a survey from 2007 showed that 18 percent of Americans used herbal supplements in the previous year (1). Many take them on a daily basis, hoping they will prevent disease, keep them healthy, or even help treat disease, with or without conventional drugs. Many think that herbal supplements, unlike most medications, are natural substances, and therefore are likely to be safe. Herbs have been used for thousands of years. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, recognized that there may be potential benefits of taking St. John’s wort for the treatment of mood disturbances. Another substance, saw palmetto, was used by the Egyptians for urinary tract problems in the 15th century B.C. (2). However, even with a long tradition, are they really safe and effective? Even more, are we getting what the label says is in the bottle? Earlier this year, the NYS Attorney General performed DNA tests on 78 bottles of herbal supplements at Target, GNC, Walmart and Walgreens. Eighty percent did not contain the labeled ingredients, and some contained high levels of mercury, arsenic and lead (3). They also contained some substances that patients may be allergic to when the label on the bottle claimed otherwise. The problem lies with the fact that herbal supplements are self-regulated. Manufacturers must label them with a disclaimer, saying that the content and health claims have not been reviewed by the FDA and that they are not meant to treat or prevent disease. Would you be comfortable buying drugs that were selfregulated? Probably not! Many think the worst thing that could happen is they don’t help. Unfortunately, this may not be the worst effect. They may or may not work – the research on most is not very compelling. They also may be harmful on several levels: some cause interactions with drugs, such as

We want to be certain that the contents in the bottle match what is on the label. Unfortunately, the recent investigation isn’t the first time the issue has been raised. An earlier study found that not all herbal supplements contain what is claimed, and some contain potentially harmful contaminants or inaccurate concentrations. Canadian researchers tested 44 herbal supplements from a dozen companies in the U.S. and Canada (4). They found that only 48 percent contained the herb that was on the label. In addition, about one-third of these supplements also contained fillers or contaminants. For example, a bottle labeled St. John’s wort actually contained a laxative from a plant called Alexandrian senna, and no St. John’s wort. With two other popular herbs, ginkgo biloba, used for memory, and echinacea, used to treat or prevent colds, there were fillers and potentially harmful contaminants in the bottles. These were identified using a sensitive DNA testing technique called DNA barcoding.

Black Cohosh

Black cohosh is used by women to help treat vasomotor symptoms, specifically, hot flashes associated with menopause. In a local study done at Stony Brook University Medical Center, as many as 25 percent of the bottles tested did not contain black cohosh (5). They tested 36 bottles acquired from brick-and-mortar chain stores and online. David Baker, M.D., an Obstetrics/Gynecology professor, also utilized the DNA barcoding technique mentioned above.

Ginkgo Biloba

Does ginkgo biloba live up to its claim of helping improve memory or prevent dementia? Unfortunately, in the first, large, double-blinded, randomized controlled trials (RCT), the gold standard of trials, results were disappointing (6). Ginkgo biloba was no better in preventing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease than a placebo. There were more than 3,000 participants in the trial; most did not have cognitive issues, but 14 percent had mild cognitive impairment. The treatment group took 120 mg of ginkgo biloba. This is only one, albeit large, well-designed, study. But at least this supplement is safe, right? Well, in a toxicology study using lab animals, results demonstrated an increased risk of developing cancer, especially thyroid and liver cancers, as well as nasal tumors (7). Researchers point out

that, while this is an interesting finding, it does not mean necessarily that the results are transferable to humans. Also, the doses used in this toxicology study were much higher, when compared to those taken by humans.

Red yeast rice and Phytosterols

Lest you think that herbs are not effective, red yeast rice is an herbal supplement that may be valuable for treating patients with elevated levels of cholesterol. In a study in patients with high cholesterol who refused or had painful muscle side effects from statin treatment, results showed that red yeast rice and lifestyle changes were effective in lowering LDL “bad cholesterol” levels (8). Patients making lifestyle changes alone were able to lose weight and maintain lower LDL levels over one year. The patients taking red yeast rice maintained LDL reductions over the year, as well. When phytosterols were added for patients taking red yeast rice, there was no further improvement in cholesterol levels. Again, some herbs may be effective, while others may not.

Resources

By no means are all herbs suspect, but you need to perform some due diligence. What can be done to make sure that doctors and their patients are more confident that the herbal supplements contain what we think? Well the best would be if an agency like the FDA would oversee these products. However, since that has not happened yet, there are resources available. These include Consumer Labs (www.Consumerlabs.com), Center for Science in the Public Interest

(www.CSPInet.org), and NIH National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine Herb Fact Sheets (www. nccam.nih.gov/health/herbsataglance. htm), and Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database (www.naturaldatabase.com).

Conclusion

When taking herbal supplements, it is very important that patients share this information, including the brand names and doses, with their doctors and pharmacists. Herbal supplements may interact with medications, but they also may not contain labeled ingredients, and could have detrimental effects. If you have symptoms that are not going away, it could be due to these supplements. The best natural approach is always lifestyle modification. Herbal supplements are sorely lacking proper regulation. So caveat emptor — buyer beware when it comes to taking herbal supplements.

A patrol wagon, c. 1905, used by the 145th Precint in Brooklyn

photo from lIM

long Island Museum’s latest acquisition The Long Island Museum in Stony Brook recently welcomed a terrific new addition to its carriage collection: a police wagon used by the 145th Police Precint to patrol the waterfront areas of Gowanus, Brooklyn, in the early 1900s. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, urban police departments used a variety of different types of vehicles: Black Marias and Paddy Wagons were used to transport prisoners, and had an enclosed space in the back, with padded interior walls. The New York City Police Department purchased its first such wagon in 1886 for $500. This patrol wagon, c. 1905, was a little more versatile and facilitated the rapid movement of police officers to scenes of disorder or disaster. The wagon has two benches for patrolmen to sit in back and rides lower and faster for pursuit and quick response. Such wagons were used right into the early automobile era. The wagon is a gift from the Museum of the City of New York, on view on MCNY’s first floor for many years, but has been off display for more than

a decade. A transfer of ownership was made to the Long Island Museum due to storage space limitations. It will now be featured in the Long Island Museum’s Streets of New York gallery in the carriage museum, a great complement to the museum’s firefighting vehicles and other urban public-use vehicles in that space. Located at 1200 Route 25A in Stony Brook, the Long Island Museum is a Smithsonian affiliate, dedicated to American history and art with a Long Island connection. Along with the 40,000-square-foot carriage museum, the museum also features an art museum, Blacksmith Shop, Nassakeag Schoolhouse, c. 1877, PlochWilliamson Barn, c. 1794, a decoy gallery in the Visitors Center and an herb garden. The museum is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Regular admission is $10 per person, $7 for seniors and $5 for students ages 6 to 17. Children under 6 and museum members are free. For more information call 631-751-0066 or visit www.longislandmuseum.org.

Authentic mouth-watering foods such as gyros, moussaka, tiropita, souvlaki and spanakopita will be served up, along with sweet desserts such as melomakarona, galaktoboureko, kourabiedes, koulourakia, baklava and loukoumades, a fried dough pastry favorite. Guided tours of the church will be available throughout the day, and vendors will be offering Greek art, jewelry, souvenirs, icons and much more.

One of the main attractions at the festival is the over-the-top sweepstakes that the church holds. This year 315 prizes will be awarded. Prizes range from cars — a 2016 Mercedes Benz GLK 4Matic is first prize — to a 13-foot Boston Whaler 130 SS 40 HP, cash prizes, TVs, iPods, tablets, Mets tickets, gift cards and more.

Port Jefferson Village to travel back in time Historic Hill climb to be highlight of the weekend By Rita J. Egan

Port Jefferson Village will host its first annual Heritage Weekend Saturday, Aug. 22, and Sunday, Aug. 23. The event will give residents the opportunity to visit over 15 locations in the village, as well as Belle Terre, to learn about the stories behind the participating venues as well as the history of the village. Jill Russell, public relations and marketing consultant for the village, said each location involved in the weekend has planned a variety of activities that celebrate the local culture, traditions, history and achievements. “You’ll be invited to come in and learn a little bit of history about Port Jefferson. It’s really a phenomenal thing for families to come and do,” Russell said. The consultant said one of the featured events will be the Port Jefferson Fire Department, 115 Maple Place, opening its museum to the public. She said most people don’t even realize the museum exists unless their children have visited the firehouse on a school field trip. Charlie Russo, assistant chief of the Port Jefferson Fire Department said, “The fire department has great history with the village.” The assistant chief explained that many of the members have followed in the footsteps of relatives and can trace their family’s involvement in the department for decades. Russo said the museum will be open Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday 3 to 5 p.m. Among the items on display, visitors will find uniforms, helmets, tools and more equipment used by firefighters since Hook and Ladder Co. 1 was established in 1887. One of the featured items is a hand fire pump that once needed two firefighters to operate it. Those heading over to the Port Jefferson Free Library, 100 Thompson Street, on Saturday will feel as if they are actually going back in time. Nikki Greenhalgh, who’s in charge of the library’s marketing and communications, said visitors will be able to enter the building through the original front doors, which are normally closed off. The former entrance leads into the front room, now known as the quiet room, which was the first library at the current location when it was built in 1925. Here library patrons will find no electronic devices and a historical reference desk. “We just want to take everyone back in time and reiterate the history and how we still use that building as a quiet area,” Greenhalgh said. The library is offering period-themed activities for kids such as paper dolls and hopscotch. While the children play, longtime employees, including Earlene O’Hare, who recently retired after 30 years, will be on hand to answer visitors’ questions about the history of the building.

The library will also be exhibiting the work of Leon Foster Jones, a local artist of the early 1900s, in the front room. Greenhalgh said the library had acquired the artist’s sketchbook, and in addition to his original paintings scanned drawings of his will also be on display. Nan Guzzetta, owner of Antique Costume & Prop Rental by Nan, 709 Main Street, encourages history buffs to stop by her store, which normally is open to potential customers by appointment only, and learn about the structure’s unique history. The store owner, who has been in business on Main Street for 20 years and 40 years in total, said the patio, garden and porch will be open and visitors can view the parlor. She said customers will get a peek at the historical Civil War era structure constructed by Captain Henry Hallock, who built many ships in Port Jefferson. The house known by many as the Chambers Mansion has not only sheltered those of local historical significance but

also of musical importance. In the ‘70s the band Foghat took up residence there, and Guzzetta said the rock group transformed a stage that once existed in the home into an echo chamber. Not only did the band produce 12 gold records here, but they also would rent out rooms to other artists who would stay at the house and record. Musical greats such as Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen have been known to create albums at the mansion, and during Foghat’s heyday, the home was one of the foremost recording studios in the Northeast and became known as the Boogie Hotel in the area, according to Guzzetta. The Drowned Meadow House, on the corner of West Broadway and Barnum Avenue, will also provide a look at interesting aspects of the village’s history. Port Jefferson Mayor Margot Garant said a letter will be on display of historical importance at the Revolutionary War era “post and beam” constructed home, which once housed spy ring members.

“The significance of discovering the revolutionary letter directly ties other Roe family members, and Drowned Meadow then and present day Port Jefferson, to George Washington’s Spy Ring. In particular the letter was sent to Loyalist Oliver Delancey and states Nathaniel Roe and Phillips Roe supplied intelligence to Caleb Brewster, and the Roe family harbored supplies in our very own Drowned Meadow,” Garant said. Russell said the culmination of the weekend will be the Port Jefferson Hill Climb, which will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday. Spectators lined up on East Broadway can view 60 antique cars as they ascend a 2,000foot climb to Belle Terre Road. After the climb, the automobiles will be part of a parade from Myrtle and Belle Terre Road down to Main Street, then to East Main and back to the Village Center. This will be the sixth re-creation of the historic Hill Climb, which originally took place in 1910 and in the recent past has been recreated every five years on E. Broadway, according to the consultant. Russell said during the weekend, car and history buffs can stop by the Village Center, 101A East Broadway, where reproductions, as well as actual photographs of the original Hill Climb, on loan from the Detroit Public Library, are on display. During Port Jefferson Heritage Weekend, residents will be able to utilize the Port Jefferson Jitney to travel from venue to venue if they wish. Most locations will be participating from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. For a complete list of participating venues and more information, visit www.portjeff.com. On the cover:

Planting a fall veggie crop for a second harvest By EllEn BarcEl

Just because we’re so far into summer, you don’t have to make the assumption that the season is over for growing vegetables. There are many you can plant by mid-August that will mature by Long Island’s earliest frost date — early November — unless you have a microclimate in your area that is much colder than the rest of the island. There are even veggies that you can start growing as late as mid-September. The rule of thumb for fall planting is to look up the maturity date of the plants you wish to grow — 30 days, for example, for radishes. Then count backward. The last date you can plant radishes then would be the end of September or the very beginning of October. To be on the safe side, figure the middle of September, instead. Always check the package maturity date because different varieties can vary tremendously. Early varieties of beets can mature by 50 days while later varieties can take up to 80 days; early carrots 60 days while later ones up to 85. Veggies that you can plant in midAugust include bush beans (early varieties mature in 45 days, late varieties in 65 days), early cabbage (60 days),

left, radishes only take 30 days to mature so you can easily plant them for at least another month; right, some varieties of beans will mature in just 45 days.

cucumbers (60 days), mustard greens (40 days), peas (60 days), spinach (40 days) and turnips (40 days). Early car-

rots (50 days), kohlrabi (45 to 60 days) and leaf lettuce (40 to 50 days). Remember that all of the above are

averages. An unusually hot September may affect your veggies negatively. An unusually early frost may do the same thing. But, this is what farmers from way back have had to contend with. You plant based on the averages but Mother Nature may have other plans. The Year Without a Summer, 1816, was called that because there was frost in every one of the 12 months of the year. The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia, spewing ash into the atmosphere and blocking the sun the year before, is credited with this phenomenon. But, we don’t need a drastic event to affect our garden. We gardeners know the damage to our plants caused by the cold and snow of the last two winters. On the other hand, frost could be late. I remember a few years ago, putting out my Christmas wreath next to the geraniums, which were not only alive but still blooming. So, go ahead and plant a late season vegetable garden and cross your fingers that Mother Nature cooperates to give you a bountiful fall harvest.

SPORTSWEEK STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

Tomorrow is Friday — wear red on campus!

Women eager to begin 2015 season In 2011, the Stony Brook women’s soccer team snapped its four-year streak of making the America East Conference Tournament with a 4-12-1 record. The following year, it won its first ever America East title. The 2015 Seawolves are hoping for a similar result after the team, which returns 17 members, missed the America East Playoﬀs last fall for the first time since 2011. Stony Brook head coach Sue Ryan said the first week of preseason has gone well, and she’s excited to see what this season will bring. “It’s been competitive, and there has been a lot of passion in our play, so we are very optimistic,” Ryan said. “We have a lot

of new faces joining us this fall. We have two new coaches on staﬀ in Alex Mendolia and Danny Grimes, 10 new freshmen and a transfer student in goal.” Senior midfielder Danielle Fuller says the talented freshmen class is already fitting in nicely with the team. “We are really trying to bring that family bond back,” she said. “The freshmen already know each other well and are doing a great job of getting to know the upperclassmen. It’s a nice dynamic and the team chemistry is good right now.” In the forward position, Stony Brook returns two top goal scorers from 2014, in redshirt junior Raven Edwards and sophomore Maddie Good. Edwards led the team with four goals, including a two-goal game against Siena College and a game-winning goal against Fordham University. In two seasons, she has netted nine career goals, making her Stony Brook’s active career leader. Good comes oﬀ a freshman campaign that saw her finish second on the team in goals, with three, and points, with nine. She scored the game-winning goal against Delaware State University to earn America East Rookie of the Week. The midfield unit will be led by senior and America East first team All-Conference selection Tessa Devereaux. Her seven assists in 2014 tied for the conference lead and her 16 career assists rank sixth in school history. She will need six assists in 2015 to break Noreen Heiligenstadt’s school record of 21. On defense, senior Priscilla Wiggins’ re-

turn from injury will present a huge boost to the Stony Brook defense. Wiggins missed all of the 2014 season as a result of the injury, but with 35 career games under her belt, should stabilize a back line that conceded 28 goals in 2014. Junior Hannah Groth converted from left back to center back in Wiggins’ absence, which proved to be a good move. She started all 17 games in central defense, scoring her first career goal against the University of Vermont. With three-year starter and 2013 America East Goalkeeper of the Year Ashley Castanio gone, the starting goalkeeping position is up for grabs heading into fall camp. The coaching staﬀ is high on freshman Cara Gallagher, who led Massapequa High School to state titles in 2014 and 2015. Castanio’s replacement could also come from the former starter’s hometown of Oceanside, with junior Emily Doherty, who enters her first year in the Stony Brook program after transferring from Temple University, where she saw action in two games. Seven of Stony Brook’s 10 non-conference opponents finished 2014 with winning records. The out-of-conference schedule consists of four teams from the Northeast Conference, including the conference champion Central Connecticut State University; two from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, including regularseason champion Fairfield University; and two from the Colonial Athletic Association, including in-state rival Hofstra University, who won 13 games in 2014.

Megan Timpf, the starting third baseman for the gold medal-winning Canadian Senior Women’s National Team at the Pan Am Games this July, has joined the Stony Brook softball team as an assistant coach. Timpf has served as the Canadian Women’s National Team’s captain since 2013. She was a member of the fourth place team at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. “We are thrilled to welcome Megan to our Seawolves’ family,” Stony Brook softball head coach Megan Bryant said. “She brings invaluable experience as both a coach and a player. Success has followed Megan wherever she has gone and we fully expect that trend to continue at Stony Brook.” Timpf, who played at Campbell University before transferring to California University of Pennsylvania, has made three prior coaching stops at the collegiate level. She

began her coaching career at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, leading the Crimson Hawks to its first Division II College World Series appearance in school history in 2011. She was a part of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Coaching Staﬀ of the Year that same season. After IUP, she coached at Barry University from 2014-15 before spending last season at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “It is an honor to join coach Bryant and her staﬀ at Stony Brook University, which is known for its excellence in both academics and athletics,” Timpf said. “I am very excited to share my experiences and knowledge of the game with the Seawolves’ softball program, and to contribute to the winning culture that coach Bryant has built.” The Seawolves won the America East regular season in 2015, reaching the 30-win plateau for the fourth consecutive season.

of activities. You do not need to be running to different programs for different activities. Our program will elate you, not exhaust you. Harried parents make harried children. That is not our goal. Our class begins with playtime in our large playroom. Our craft room is where we do calendar activities and snack while listening to an age appropriate story. Our crafts will engage even the most active toddler! Upon finishing craft time music time begins. We start on the floor using different props and instruments and move on to parachute activities. Just as we begin our class with opening songs and activities we end class with closing activities. Mommy and Me 2 will add another dimension to the relationship between you and your child, your child’s perspective on friendship and play, and you will watch their language skills soar, being that our brains remember language better when set to music!

‘Caught’

by Lilly Chai Age 10, St. James Caught like a torn piece of newspaper entangled in a forest of grass, buried under greens, Caught like a pinecone in the Earth’s grasp, slowly decaying underground, Caught like a leaf running away from a tree, hiding in the soft layers of the Earth, never coming out, Caught like a box of matches, digging its way slowly through pebbles, looking for a place to stay, Caught like a rose petal parachuting to the ground, hiding under a sheet of dirt, Caught like a small red berry, lost in the woods, found by a wild hare’s small furry paws, Caught like a twig, encrusted in ice, waiting for the sun to thaw the frost,

Cottontails Childrens Shop, 113A Main St., Stony Brook Village will host an afternoon with thirdgeneration silhouette artist, Erik Johnson, on Friday, Aug. 21 from 2 to 5 p.m. Johnson, who learned the craft from his father, hand cuts each silhouette within minutes by

just looking at the subject’s profile. When he’s done, you’ll have an amazing keepsake of you, your child, significant other etc. The cost is $30 per silhouette, $15 per duplicate, with framing available. For more information or to reserve a time slot, call 631-689-9147.

Caught like a spiderweb punctured by a tree’s hand, losing the fight and giving in to the branches grasp, Caught like a vine cautiously crawling between the vine netting of a fence, trying to escape, Caught like a forest that burns down, from a small piece of newspaper that caught fire from a box of matches, losing a pinecone, a leaf, a petal, a twig, a web, and a vine, Caught like the ashes that come from a deadly forest fire, cupped in a reporter’s hands, Caught like a newspaper with a large picture of a burnt forest in a child’s fingers, tightly clutching the papers, Caught like a page of newspaper sent by a child to the wind, blowing the newspaper with a large breath of air, . . . back to the woods.
