SBU student wins Gertrude Scharff-Goldhaber Prize

Photo from Brookhaven national Laboratory

2015 Goldhaber Prize Winner Fen Guan is presented with a certificate and $1,000 check from Associate Lab Director for Nuclear and Particle Physics Berndt Mueller.

Fen Guan, a Stony Brook University graduate student, has been awarded the 2015 Gertrude Scharff-Goldhaber Prize, consisting of $1,000 and a certificate. Funded by Brookhaven Science Associates, the company that manages Brookhaven National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy, the award was established in 1992 by Brookhaven Women in Science (BWIS), a nonprofit organization that supports and encourages the advancement of women in science. The award recognizes substantial promise and accomplishment by female graduate students in physics who are performing their thesis research at Brookhaven Lab, or who are enrolled at SBU. It commemorates the outstanding contributions of the late nuclear physicist Gertrude Scharff-Goldhaber. In 1950, Goldhaber became the first female Ph.D. physicist appointed to the Brookhaven Lab staff. She also was a founding member of BWIS. Guan’s Ph.D. thesis work focuses on strain engineering of graphene and the challenging task of mechanically manipulating graphene while attempting to monitor its transport properties. Graphene, single layers of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice (like chicken wire), is considered by some to

be a “wonder” material as it is stronger and stiffer than a diamond, but can be stretched like rubber. Its surface area is the largest known for its weight. After several attempts using various strain tuning methods, Guan successfully produced flexible graphene nanoelectromechanical resonators — a step toward understanding the fundamental and technical implications of the properties of graphene under strain that may lead to discoveries enabling a new class of nanomechanical devices, including faster computer chips. A portion of Guan’s research was conducted at Brookhaven Lab’s Center for Functional Nanomaterials. “I hope my research leads to significant and important discoveries in the field of nanotechnology that will have positive impacts to our society,” said Guan. “I am grateful to Brookhaven Women in Science who selected me as the recipient of the 2015 Goldhaber Award, and for the opportunity to be mentored by extraordinary scientists at Stony Brook University.” Fen Guan earned her B.S. in physics from Zhejiang University. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in physics at Stony Brook University and plans to graduate next year.

KNOWLEDGE

Barbara Chapman, a pioneer in computer science, joins Stony Brook

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

If the smartest people in the world gathered in a room, they might struggle to collaborate. An Australian astrophysicist might have a different way of solving problems from the Spanish sociologist. That doesn’t even address language barriers. Similar principles hold true for the world’s best super computers. While each may have an ability to perform numerous calculations, gather information, and extrapolate from patterns too complicated to discover with a pencil and paper, they can be limited in their ability to work together efficiently. That’s where a leader in the field of parallel computing comes in. Barbara Chapman, who has been at the University of Houston since 1999, has taught rising stars in the field, written textbooks and enabled the combination of supercomputers to become more than the proverbial sum of their parts. And, this week, she is bringing her talents to Long Island, where she’s starting the next step in her career as a professor of Applied Math and Statistics, and Computer Science at Stony Brook, as part of the Institute for Advanced Computational Science and as an affiliate at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Calling Chapman a “pioneer in the world of parallel computing,” Sunita Chandrasekaran, who was a graduate student in Chapman’s lab, predicted Chapman would “attract top graduate students from across the globe. Many students would love to do research under Chapman’s supervision.” Lei Huang, an assistant professor in the computer science department at Prairie View A&M University in Texas, considers Chapman his “mentor,” and said she is “always patient with students,” making her a “valuable asset” to Stony Brook. Huang, who did his Ph.D. and worked as

a post doc in Chapman’s lab, added that she proposed and implemented innovative language features to improve performance and productivity of programming on supercomputers. Chapman, who grew up in New Zealand, said she left the more temperate region of Houston driven, in part, by the intelligence and personality of Robert J. Harrison, Stony Brook’s director for the Institute for Advanced Computational Science. Additionally, Chapman sees opportunities to work with local collaborators. Chapman works to make it easier for scientists and other users to get computers to solve their problems and gain insights from massive amounts of data. She strives to get high-powered computers to work together efficiently. Scientists need to give computers a way of telling the cores how to interact and collaborate. Dividing up the work and ensuring that these computers share data are among the challenges of her role. The new Stony Brook scientist helped develop OpenMP, which can be used to program multicores and is an industry standard used in cell phones, among other things. President Obama unveiled plans to build an exascale computer, which might be capable of performing a billion billion operations per second. Building this computer will have numerous challenges, including hardware, power, memory, data movement, resilience and programming. Chandrasekaran, who recently joined the University of Delaware as an assistant professor, said soft ware programming needs to be more intuitive, portable across platforms and adaptable without any compromise in performance. Chapman, she said, is a leader in these fields, bringing together national laboratories, vendors and academia. As a part of a group of re-

searchers asked to identify opportunities for collaborations between the United States and Egypt, Chapman also journeyed to Egypt. While it was a “wonderful experience,” Chapman said the efforts were put on hold indefinitely after the revolution. Applications that exploit supercomputers range from astrophysics to the automotive industry to analyzing old texts, to determine if the works of classical scholars were written or translated by the same person, Chapman said. Chapman and her colleagues work to design features to support the next generation of computers. In the next few years, Chapman expects computers to have more complex memory, while the cores will be more heterogeneous.

At the same time, hardware manufacturers are focused on green computing, enabling the same computing power while using less energy. Chapman enjoys working in an academic setting, where she can inspire the next generation of computer scientists. She will start teaching at Stony Brook in 2016. While Chapman’s work centers around helping computers get the most from their collaborations, she also believes the workforce would benefit from attracting, training and supporting people from a broader range of backgrounds, including African-Americans, Hispanics, and women. “If we had a much more diverse group of people, how would our use of computers change?” she asks. “Would we find other uses of computers?”

Chapman is encouraged that her concern about diversity is a matter numerous people in Washington are discussing. “I chaired a small study on this last year for the Department of Energy,” she said. “There’s a lot of buy-in to the notion that it’s important to change that.” Chapman said an early experience working with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ignited her interest in computer science. She worked with people who were exploring what happens when a spacecraft re-enters Earth’s atmosphere. They were designing materials that are better able to withstand the heat and speed of returning to Earth. “People can use machines for finding out what’s going on in the universe in the big picture,” she said. “That got me hooked.”

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

What are the real benefits of exercise? it’s less about weight loss than disease prevention

Don’t give up on exercise just yet, though. There is very good news: the answer to question two is that exercise has beneficial effects on all the choices plus many others, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, fatigue, insomnia, and depression. Let’s look at the evidence.

Weight loss attenuated

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

I’ve noticed quite a few runners and bikers in the neighborhood this summer. I’ve also noticed an increase in the number of folks lined up at the local ice cream shop and wondered at the intersection of these two groups — the exercisers and the summer eaters. Conventional wisdom tells us that if we’re going to eat calorically dense foods, we need to be prepared to work off the potential extra pounds. Before I go on, let’s take a little quiz. A little knowledge goes a long way in feeling good about your plans to exercise.

Question 1: I can offset potential weight gain from a calorically dense meal by doing which of the following? a) Exercising intensely for a short duration b) Exercising moderately for a long duration c) Exercising lightly for a long duration d) Exercise is unlikely to offset a calorically dense meal Question 2: Exercise is beneficial for which of the following? Choose all that apply. a) Chronic kidney disease b) Rheumatoid arthritis c) Cognitive decline d) Risk of falls Unfortunately, the answer to question one is “d.” Exercise without dietary changes may not actually help many people to lose weight, no matter what the intensity or the duration (1). If it does help, it may only moderately reduce fat mass and weight for the majority of people. However, it may be helpful with weight maintenance. Therefore, it may be more important to think about what you are eating rather than succumb to the rationalization that you can eat with abandon and work it off later.

The well-known weight-loss paradigm in medicine is that when more calories are burned than consumed, we will tip the scale in favor of weight loss. The greater the negative balance with exercise, the greater the loss. However, the results of one study say otherwise. They show that in premenopausal women, there was neither weight nor fat loss from exercise (2). This was a preliminary study that involved 81 women over a short duration, twelve weeks. All the women were overweight to obese, although there was great variability in weight. However, more than two-thirds of the women gained a mean of 1 kilogram, or 2.2 pounds, of fat mass by the end of the study. There were a few who gained 10 pounds of, predominantly, fat. There was significant variability seen among the participants, ranging from significant weight loss to substantial weight gain. These women were told to exercise at the American College of Sports Medicine’s optimal level of intensity (3). This is to walk 30 minutes on a treadmill three times a week at 70 percent VO2max —maximum oxygen consumption during exercise — or, in other words, a moderately intense pace. The good news is that the women were in better aerobic shape by the end of the study and that women who lost weight at the four-week mark were more likely to continue to do so by the end of the study. Though this is an interesting finding about variable effects on weight with exercise, this was also a preliminary study, so there needs to be a larger and longer duration study to confirm these results. Other studies have shown modest weight loss. For instance, in a meta-analysis of 14 randomized controlled trials — the gold standard of studies — results showed that there was a disappointing amount of weight loss with exercise alone (4). In six months, patients lost a mean of 1.6 kilograms, or 3.5 pounds, and at 12 months, participants lost 1.7 kilograms, or about 3.75 pounds.

Weight maintenance

However, exercise may be valuable in weight maintenance, according to observational studies. Premenopausal women who exercised at least 30 minutes a day were significantly less likely to regain lost weight (5). When exercise was added to diet, women were able to maintain 30 percent more weight loss than with diet alone after a year in a prospective study (6).

Chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease affects about 1 in 10 people in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (7). The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has indicated that there is insufficient evidence to treat asymptomatic CKD. In fact, the American College of Physicians has said that asymptomatic CKD, which includes stages 3a and 3b, or moderate disease levels, should not be screened for, since the risks outweigh the benefits and lead to false positive tests and unnecessary treatments (8). However, in a recent trial, the results show that walking regularly could reduce the risk of kidney replacement therapy and death in patients who have moderate to severe CKD, stages 3-5 (9). Yes, this includes stage 3, which most likely is asymptomatic. There was a 21 percent reduction in the risk of kidney replacement therapy and a 33 percent reduction in the risk of death when walkers were compared to non-walkers. Walking had such an impressive impact, results were based on a dose-response curve. In other words, the more frequently patients walked in the week, the better the probability of preventing complications. Those who walked between one and two times per week had 17 and 19 percent reductions in death and kidney replacement therapy, respectively, while those who walked at least seven times per week saw 44 and 59 percent reductions in death and kidney replacement. These are substantial results. The authors concluded that the effectiveness of walking on CKD was independent of kidney function, age or other diseases.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Unfortunately, more than three quarters of patients with rheumatoid arthritis

are affected with varying degrees of hand dysfunction. Well, it turns out that a randomized controlled trial that included supervised (physiotherapist or occupational therapist) exercise for six sessions, and exercise at home showed more than twice the improvement in hand function than those in the usual care group, over a 12-month period (10). There were no changes in drug therapies or pain. Therefore, while it is important to enjoy the remaining weeks of summer, which officially ends September 21st, it is food choices that will have the greatest impact on our weight and body composition. Exercise will not be the solution for most of us to overcome weight gain. However, exercise is extremely beneficial for preventing progression of chronic disorders, such as CKD. Improved functioning of the hand with exercise in rheumatoid arthritis patients reduces disability. So, by all means, exercise, but also focus on more nutrient-dense foods. At the least, strike a balance, rather than eating purely calorically dense foods. They are unlikely to be rationalized with exercise.

‘Young Island’ opens at the Long Island Museum Latest William Sidney Mount exhibit features 19th-century children at work and play

By EllEn BarcEl

Today, youngsters all seem to be tied to websites, texting, apps and more. They’ve got their headphones on and download the latest music. Until recently, children had to make do without electricity. They played games (nonelectronic), enjoyed music (which people had to make themselves) and danced. School didn’t feature “smart” classrooms. While children today have chores, in the agrarian past children’s jobs were very different: They gathered eggs from their chickens, went fishing and trapping and helped hang the laundry out on the clothesline. Gender conventions were stronger then. Girls played with dolls and boys with trains. To provide a glimpse into early 19thcentury children’s lives on Long Island, the Long Island Museum of American Art, History and Carriages in Stony Brook has opened a new exhibit, “Young Island,” showing a collection of William Sidney Mount’s paintings that depict children’s lives in the years before, during and just after the Civil War. Mount was a 19th-century Setauket artist who is known for his paintings of everyday life. In an age before the camera, he also did portraits, many of children. “Catherine Adele Smith,” “Maria Winthrop Seabury,” “Young Girl” and “Tutie [Ruth Hawkins Mount]” are all examples of those many portraits, all part of the current exhibit. Children teased and played around — yes, they were naughty then too, shown in “Mischievous Drop” and “Boys Wrangling,” and they had work to do. “Returning from the Orchard” shows a young girl who has gathered fruit, “Catching Rabbits” shows boys emptying a trap, and “Boy Hoeing Corn” shows a child working in the field. The idea for the exhibit was Joshua Ruff’s, director of collections and interpretation. “The idea came from the fact that we often have a Mount exhibit, especially during the school year ... We’ve never done an exhibit with children before so it seemed like a good fit,” said Julie Diamond, director of communications at the museum. “It’s an easy theme to recognize for Mount … when you look through the several thousand drawings we own as well as the more than one hundred oil paintings, children play a significant role in both his genre and portraiture. Mount himself was surrounded by children in daily life, living under the same roof as both of his brothers’ large families. He had many nieces and nephews,” said Ruff. “Children are featured in his work in a myriad of ways — representing innocence, a young nation’s optimism, political points etc. Since this was also a time that children worked extensively on the American/Long Island farm, there’s that element

too. Mount is like a fair number of other American artists of the 19th century — Winslow Homer, Eastman Johnson and others — who are using children in both allegorical and realistic ways in their work. So it’s a great theme to explore, even in a fairly small exhibit such as this,” he added. Selecting the works to be included in the exhibit was a challenge. “Choice of the work was not easy,” said Ruff. “There are literally dozens of excellent drawings and paintings that could have been included, but this is our smaller gallery, so space only allows 18 works,” especially since many of Mount’s paintings are large. Ruff continued, “I wanted to choose a range of both drawings and paintings, so we have five of the former, 13 of the latter. In some cases, these are works that we have not had out in a while — ‘Boys Snowballing,’ ‘Walking Out,’ and a few more have not been on view for some time. In other cases, such as ‘Girl Sleeping’ and ‘Turning the Leaf’ — these are some of Mount’s best-known works, but are usually not interpreted this way. ‘Turning the Leaf’ is also supported in this exhibit by a lovely small preliminary study Mount did for that painting.” One of the best known of Mount’s works is “Dance of the Haymakers,” which shows workers in a barn dancing to a fiddler’s music. Outside, a small boy beats time to the music on the side of the barn with sticks. A dog lays on the ground and farm tools are propped up against the side of the barn. “We wanted to show ‘Dance,’ not only because it relates to the theme, but also because it is going out on national loan to the Detroit Institute of Arts next year. One of the most important aspects of this exhibit for us is that we will be able to use it very well with our educational programming,” said Ruff. Diamond added that the LIM has programs for school groups, one geared for kindergarten through second grade and another for fourth through sixth grade. “Both use the Mount exhibit as the basis for learning,” about American history. “Also, it is a very good little family show. In addition to the regular labels/text, there are also labels for families. We hope that it will give people a chance to think about a side of Mount that they may not have considered much before,” said Ruff. While at the LIM, visit some of its other exhibits, including Hooked@LIM, an outdoor exhibit of yarn bombing, the herb garden, “Gilding the Coasts: the Art and Design of Long Island’s Great Estates” and “Beth Levine: The First Lady of Shoes.” “Young Island” is scheduled to run through the end of the year. The LIM, a Smithsonian affiliate, is located in Stony Brook at 1200 Route 25A. It is open Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. For further information, call 631-751-0066 or visit www.longislandmuseum.org.

All Clean! Friends of the Greenway host local litter patrol

By Karen Jillian

“It’s not a surprise that many people are calling the Three Villages ‘Long Island’s Bicycling Capital!’” So writes Herb Mones regarding the Setauket to Port Jefferson Greenway Trail. Mones, a member of the Friends of the Greenway, says “the Greenway Trail [protected open space constructed for conservation and recreational purposes] is a great community resource. Its second phase finished, it has now become “the longest paved greenway in Suffolk County — 3 ½ miles long.” The Greenway Trail runs between Limroy Lane in East Setauket and the New York State Department of Transportation parking lot in Port Jefferson Station, near Route 112 at Hallock Avenue. Due to the overwhelming amount of positive results associated with the path, Mones has decided to “engage the community in a program to enhance and beautify the Greenway through monthly cleanups and having the public adopt and maintain portions of the trail.” A cleanup was held this past Saturday morning. The 28 volunteers were ably assisted by Brookhaven Town Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) who believes that “the development of the Greenway has been nothing but a positive asset and resource.” “When I speak to people in my district about the trail, they mention they enjoy that it connects communities. At the beginning, when a new idea like this is introduced, there is always a level of fear from some in the community until people see what an asset it can be, especially once people use it,” said Cartright. Local resident and volunteer, Norm Samuels, echoed her sentiments. “People are generally very happy with the trail and use it in many different ways: walking, running, biking and dog walking. During the right weather I go cross-country skiing! Only complaint some have: no port-o-potty.” Another hardworking elected official at Saturday’s cleanup was Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket).An obvious environmental enthusiast, she said, “I was always excited about this idea

of a trail. From social community, health and environmental perspectives, we are all better for it. The good use of the trail drives out any bad use.” The volunteers report that “bad use” consists of the occasional strewn trash, which is a light amount. As for people being worried about kids hanging out, non-usage of the trail or any negatives, the trail, has, instead, brought many positive attributes. Usage of the trail is very high. Most people have cleaned up after themselves and their dogs and traffic on Upper Sheep Pasture has slowed down dramatically because of the enhanced safety crossings and alerting of drivers to crosswalks. But the best may be yet to come. This trail, which began as an acquired stretch of property in the 1960s and had originally been pitched as a bypass to 25A, had, in the 1990s become part of an alternative plan to become a Greenbelt Trail. Today the Friends of the Greenway are working with North Shore Rails to Trails “in an effort to extend the path from Port Jefferson Station to Wading River, which would create a 15-mile ribbon of bike paths,” according to Mones. Not bad for something that started out over 50 years ago as a paper road for a vehicular bypass! The trail, though, needs the community for it to survive and be maintained. The next clean up is scheduled for Sept. 26 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. If you would like more information on being a part of this growing community that uses the trail or would like to volunteer, you can call the Three Village Community Trust’s Friends of the Greenway at 631-689-0225.

The sounds of bluegrass, blues, acoustic and folk music are coming to East Setauket as the fourth annual Fiddle & Folk Festival returns to Benner’s Farm on Sept. 13. According to Amy Tuttle, program director of the Greater Port JeffersonNorth Brookhaven Arts Council, a festival sponsor, the festival is a celebration of acoustic music. “The formula we have found to be successful is to bring in a national act, a well-known blues based act and a Long Island band,” Tuttle said. Headline acts this year include The Kennedy’s, Brooks Williams and Buddy Merriam with his band, Back Roads. During the festival, Merriam will be given the Long Island Sound Award honoring him for bringing bluegrass music to Long Island for 35 years, presented by the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. The festival will feature a main stage where the headliners will perform, as well as a smaller stage that will include workshops and question-and-answer segments with the musicians. Another stage will host a jam session where not only will headliners play together to conclude the concert, but festivalgoers can play their own instruments. A kid’s corner will be set up offering story time and music, and the night will conclude with a contra dance, complete with a live band and caller. The farm will also be open where guests can check out organic gardens, barns and farm animals. “This is an all-ages, family friendly event that people can either sit back to watch or participate in,” Tuttle said. Charlie Backfish, who hosts the acoustic music show Sunday Street on WUSB 90.1, the radio station on the campus of SUNY Stony Brook, another festival sponsor, said Benner’s Farm is a good location for the event.

“This is the kind of music you probably could’ve heard at a farm at some point in history,” he said. “It really makes sense to have it there.” Backfish will host the question-and-answer session of the festival. Bob Benner, who lives and works on the 15-acre farm, said the festival is a celebration of not only music but farm life. Benner referred to a painting at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook by famed local artist William Sydney Mount of a fiddler playing at a barn dance on a farm. “What we are trying to do at the festival is to show what people would do way back when,” he said. “Everyone lived on a farm here on Long Island up until the 1900s.” The festival is also sponsored by Homestead Arts, the nonprofit educational arm of Benner’s Farm that works toward keeping what Benner called “old time arts and processes” from fading into history. “Homestead arts are all the different things that people had to know how to do away from our modern sensibilities — things like meat processing and vegetable canning,” he said. Music is a big part of that. “Way back when there were no phonographs, no forms of playing music. The festival has the kind of music you would hear when neighbors got together for haying or working in the fields,” Benner said. “This really is the perfect place for the festival.” The fourth annual Fiddle & Folk Festival will be held on Sept. 13 at Benner’s Farm, 56 Gnarled Hollow Road, Setauket, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 adults, $11 children and seniors. The event will be held rain or shine. Bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating. Food and drink will be available for purchase.

cover story

‘Paintings by Christopher’ opens in Shoreham By Melissa arnold

Some people say they see the world through rose-colored glasses. Contemporary artist Christopher Reisman sees the world in technicolor. His acrylic and mixed-media paintings mostly showcase people and animals with a whimsical, kaleidoscopelike color palette. Some of his paintings are abstract, but for the Rocky Point resident, it’s all about experimentation and play. A selection of his abstracts and animal portraits will be on display throughout the month of September in an exhibit titled “Paintings by Christopher: All Things Sacred” at the North Shore Public Library in Shoreham. The art show will feature paintings, some as large as 48 inches wide by 60 inches high, and several prints. This is Reisman’s second appearance at the library, says art coordinator Hildegard Kroeger. He had an exhibit there six years ago. “He’s doing a lot more freestyle work now,” Kroeger says. “He’s very colorful and people really pay attention to his work when they stop by.” Reisman’s talents — which also include sculpture, music and sewing — are more than just hobbies. They have been his lifeblood since he was a toddler. “I drew on the walls as a child and was always getting big pads of drawing paper from my parents, who were very encouraging,” says Reisman. His creative streak would lead to an art-intensive high school education and some study at what is now Temple University’s Tyler School of Art, but Reisman’s mostly self-taught. He spent more than 40 years as an art educator in a variety of settings before an illness led him to retire in 2000. Since then, Reisman has been able to focus fully on enjoying and sharing his gifts, which have healed him inside and out. “Even in the darkest times in my life — and I’ve been through plenty, trust me — I was drawing and playing the piano,” Reisman explains. “[Through my illness and later recovery] I’ve learned that we need to learn to let go — whether that’s of a bad habit or an old way of thinking — and if we can do that, we can come to a place of healing. I hope to reach as many people as possible with that.” Today, Reisman enjoys long hours painting at his home, which he calls the “sanctuary.” The property, which he shares with his partner Robert McDonald and their two cats, Dolly and Joey, is also home to hundreds of birds, fish and other animals. The artwork he creates is for more than display. Anywhere from 10 percent to the full value of each sold painting supports charitable interests close to his heart. Reisman and McDonald have worked together to support a number of animal shelters on Long Island, including

SAVES, Inc. (Spay Alter Vaccinate Every Stray) of Riverhead, Little Shelter Animal Rescue & Adoption Center in Huntington and Save-A-Pet Animal Rescue & Adoption in Port Jefferson Station, among others. They are also big supporters of the global Wildlife Conservation Society, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, and many cancer benefits that cross their path. McDonald, who does not have an art background, loves to sit back and watch Reisman’s creative process, which usually begins with several days of research, drafting and prayer.

“It’s like miracle work to me, that [Christopher] can start with a blank canvas and in the course of a few hours or a day have it completely drawn out and ready to be painted,” says McDonald, who has been with Reisman for 16 years. “He’ll say to me, ‘Today I’m going to paint a tiger,’ and the next day it appears. I would never be able to do something like what he does.” Some paintings have specific stories — like his chimpanzees,“The Visit,” inspired by the work of famed primatologist Jane Goodall, or his self-portrait, “The Joy Keeper,” painted at home in his hall of mirrors over an old abstract painting ‘to

show the joy we can all feel if we allow it’ — but others are just subjects Reisman or his family members enjoy. For abstract pieces, Reisman says that he likes “staying spontaneous and moving color around that excites me, without judging.” The couple believes that sharing their gifts, both physical and emotional, is just the first step toward a healthier, more peaceful world. They are currently searching for a publisher to get the art to a wider audience. Reisman has gained many fans through the years and has received rave reviews from his past art exhibits. Newsday art critic Jeanne Paris wrote that his artwork projects “unspoken eloquence in visual imagery that is not to be forgotten,” and “I Had It All the Time” author Alan Cohen stated “Christopher Reisman creates with passion, power and purpose. His heart is in his art. If you look deeply you will see much.” Even “Good Day New York’s” Rosanna Scotto has purchased one of his paintings. “When people see my work, they’ll see lots of bright, happy colors and find they feel a joy and peacefulness that’s very powerful,” Reisman explains. “I believe that power comes from within each of us. It’s been my mission to turn as many people as possible onto their own innate creativity. I find that it’s very healing.” Explore some of Christopher Reisman’s artwork from Sept. 1 through Sept. 29 at the North Shore Public Library, 250 Route 25A, Shoreham. An artist reception, hosted by the Friends of the Library, featuring a larger selection of Reisman’s art, will be held on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. at the library. All are welcome. For more information about the exhibit, call 631-929-4488. To learn more about Reisman or to purchase his art, visit www.artbychristopher.org. Image from christopher reisman

The sweet mimosa tree By EllEn BarcEl

Last week's article focused on a late summer flowering tree, Styphnolobium japonica, the Japanese pagoda, which is a member of the pea family. Another tree that blooms in mid-August is the mimosa (Albizia julibrissin), which has fragrant pink (some varieties are orange) fluffy flowers. Mimosas are also in the pea family, but the flowers are very different from the Japanese pagoda tree. The problem with this tree is that it is very prone to a fungal disease. Somewhere in the 1960s or '70s many gardeners planted the quick growing and beautiful tree. Then the disease struck, killing thousands of trees on Long Island. The mimosa, also known as the silk tree, is prone to the fusarium wilt. It is spread by contaminated soil, the pathogen being taken up by the tree roots, which means that if you have a mimosa that died as a result of this disease, don’t plant another one in the

same area. I lost three massive mimosas to this disease way back when. This is a reseeder, so many new little trees would sprout, but then in a few years die. So I began pulling out the seedlings before they became established. Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories notes that once a tree is infected there is no cure. When removing a dead mimosa, do not chip the wood and use it as a mulch because you would then be spreading the disease. There are several disease-resistant (not immune) cultivars, ‘Charlotte’ and ‘Tryon.’ In addition to the sweetly scented flowers, the tree produces a light shade, even as a mature specimen, so it is a great tree to add to your garden. Just remember to get one of the disease-resistant cultivars. Ellen Barcel is a freelance writer and master gardener. Send your gardening questions to leisure@tbrnewspapers.com.

Seawolves split pair of Saturday matches

Stony Brook picks up first win of 2015 with victory over Buffalo The Stony Brook volleyball team split a pair of matches Saturday at the Penn State Classic, falling 3-0 to No. 1 Penn State University (13-25, 13-25, 20-25) and defeating the University at Buﬀalo 3-1 (25-16, 18-25, 25-22, 25-15) to close out the first weekend of the 2015 season. The Seawolves stand at 1-2 on the year following Saturday’s action. Sophomore outside hitter and defensive specialist Melann Amory recorded a career-high 15 kills in the win over Buﬀalo. Freshman middle hitter and outside hitter McKyla Brooks tallied a

career-best of her own with 14 kills against the Bulls. She hit .571 in the Buffalo match, with 14k-2e-21ta. Freshman setter Morgan Kath notched 40 assists, six digs, and two aces in the win over Buffalo. Four players were in double-figures in kills against Buffalo, as senior outside hitter and right middle blocker Kathy Fletcher and freshman middle blocker and outside hitter Taylor Wilson each had 10 kills to go along with Amory and Brooks’ totals. Kath had 28 assists in the threeset match against the No. 1 Nittany Lions.

Fletcher led the Seawolves with 13 kills in the Penn State match. Stony Brook tallied the first seven points of the fourth set in the win over Buﬀalo. Fletcher had the Seawolves’ first double-double of 2015, with 10 kills and 10 digs. The Seawolves traveled to Riverdale for a match at Manhattan College Tuesday, but results were not available by press time. File photo

Seawolves edged by Drexel, 2-1 SBU sophomore Christen Cahill nets first career goal Sophomore forward and midfielder Christen Cahill scored her first career goal on Sunday but it wasn’t enough, as the Stony Brook women’s soccer team (0-4-0) was edged by Drexel University 2-1 in its final game at the Fairfield Invitational. “We played a good team today and fought hard,” head coach Sue Ryan said. “I liked our eﬀort but am disappointed in the result. We have to trust the process and continue to move forward.” Shaelyn McCarty opened the scoring in

the 38th minute, pouncing on a loose ball in the box and beating junior goalkeeper Emily Doherty. The Dragons received a critical goal with just over a minute left in the first half to take a 2-0 lead. Imani Walker was the goal scorer, dribbling down the left and finishing for her first goal of the year. Cahill cut the lead to 2-1 with her first career goal in the 66th minute. Junior forward Raven Edwards set up the goal with her first assist of the season.

The Seawolves nearly doubled up the Dragons on shots, finishing the game with a 21-11 advantage. They outshot Drexel 13-5 in the second half. Despite the heavy pressure, Stony Brook had diﬃculties testing the goalkeeper. Only five of its 21 shots hit the frame. Senior midfielder Tessa Devereaux led the Seawolves with five shots. Edwards contributed four, with a team-high two shots on goal. Doherty made her first career start in goal for SBU, finishing with two saves. Stony Brook returns home to take on Wagner College on Friday at 7 p.m.

kids times ‘Outside My Window’ The early sun rises above the majestic mountains as leprechauns dance to the tune of birds chirping,

Emerald-colored leaves slowly turn into colorful yellow, red, orange, and brown leaves, which slowly harden and fall to the ground,

After rain showers, bright and colorful rainbows dance with their friends in the glittering blue sky,

Leaves raked into huge piles get destroyed by children that are looking for a day of fun,

Dew drops enjoy the sunshine on bright green leaves until playful children run through them,

The wild geese flying way up in the sky fly in their unique “V” position as squawking noises are heard,

The squirrels scamper playfully up the tall oak tree racing to get to the acorns,

A thin layer of fluffy snow coats the delicate grass with a blanket,

By Robin Xion Age 10, St. James

At noon, children ride their bikes along the street as busy cars honk their horns,

The building of snowmen fills the scene with joy and happiness as the colorful carrots brighten the snowmen and children laugh,

Kids swimming in the warm pools is a sight, especially the ice cream sundae at the end,

Outside my window is where all of the beauty and wonders of nature are discovered!
