In addition to working with you to develop a personalized plan to make healthy lifestyle changes, we perform an in-depth workup, including a detailed assessment of cholesterol particles, inﬂammatory markers and imaging to allow a thorough understanding of your cardiovascular risk. We provide genetic testing to clarify your diagnosis and tailor your treatment to target the underlying problem. We also screen for metabolic disorders such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, obesity and obstructive sleep apnea since they are closely associated with heart disease and high cholesterol. After evaluating your overall risk, cholesterol levels and tolerance to medication, we will adjust your regimen and, when necessary, introduce new medication and cuttingedge treatments to overcome adverse effects and reach your cholesterol goals. And, at Stony Brook, we are at the forefront of new research that may have the potential to improve the care of patients with heart disease and high cholesterol.

How can the Center for Advanced Lipid (Cholesterol) Management help?

Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is largely produced naturally by your body. A smaller amount is absorbed by the foods we eat. Cholesterol is necessary for your body to function properly; however, it can also be harmful. The liver is the main processing center for cholesterol and dietary fat. The liver transports the fat, together with cholesterol in the form of lipoproteins, into our bloodstream. When the cholesterol measured in your blood reaches certain levels, it can build up as artery-clogging fatty-deposits (plaque) — a major risk factor for coronary artery (heart) disease, heart attack and stroke.

What is a lipidologist?

You have a known cholesterol imbalance with very high cholesterol levels.

You have multiple cardiovascular risk factors, and your doctor is concerned that you are at high risk for heart disease.

You have heart disease and have not been able to achieve optimal cholesterol levels.

A lipidologist is an expert in the identiﬁcation and management of lipid (cholesterol) disorders, and in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. A lipidologist provides advanced diagnosis and treatment to help you take control of your cholesterol and reduce risk factors. Some of the more common reasons to see a lipidologist include:

People with high cholesterol — that’s more than 70 million Americans — have about twice the risk of developing heart disease as people with lower levels. While heart disease remains the leading cause of mortality in the U.S. and cholesterol levels are among the most important risk factors, many do not have their levels under control. The good news is that high cholesterol is a manageable risk factor. Here, On Chen, MD, interventional cardiologist and Director, Center for Advanced Lipid (Cholesterol) Management, explains.

Taking Control of Your Cholesterol

You’ve experienced intolerance or adverse effects from cholesterol-lowering medication.

We are dedicated to meeting your optimal health goals. An effective lipid-lowering treatment plan can be lifesaving. While there are risk factors that are not within our control — such as age or family history — there are many crucial factors that we can inﬂuence to reduce risk and improve quality of life for our patients. At the Lipid Center, you will meet with a cardiologist with specialized training and certiﬁcation through the American Board of Clinical Lipidology, and be treated by a team that is well equipped to help solve even the most complex lipid (cholesterol) disorders. Our goal is to provide earlier diagnosis so that our patients can be proactive and prevent premature cardiovascular disease. I’d much rather see patients early to be aggressive with prevention. That said, even if you already have heart disease, it is not too late to lower your risk.

If we look beyond the usual risk factors mentioned above, oxidative stress may play an important role as a contributor to HF. In a population-based, prospective study, the Swedish Mammography Cohort, results show that a diet rich in antioxidants reduces the risk of developing HF (1). In the group that consumed the most nutrient-dense foods, there was a signi cant 42 percent reduction in the development of HF, compared to the group that consumed the least. According to the authors, the antioxidants were derived mainly from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, co ee and chocolate. Fruits and vegetables were responsible for the majority of the e ect.

What makes this study so impressive is that it is the rst of its kind to investigate antioxidants from the diet and their impacts on heart failure prevention. is was a large study, involving 33,713 women, with good duration — follow-up was 11.3 years. ere are limitations to this study, because it is observational and the population involved only women. Still, the results are very exciting, and it is unlikely there is a downside to applying this approach to the population at large.

Increasing antioxidants in the diet

Mather Hospital in Port Je erson has announced a new free training program for Certi ed Nurse Assistants (CNA) that will pay students during their training and guarantee them a position at the hospital upon successful completion of the course and New York State certi cation exam.

Free Narcan Training Seminar

John R. Balcuk, MSN, RN, NPD-BC, Assistant Director of Nursing Talent, Nursing Recruitment and Retention, said the program will follow the American Red Cross training program, but instead of being an online course, students will learn in-person at the hospital. e trainees will be paid as Safety Care Associates — a new position at the hospital — and will meet their required 30 hours of clinical experience with patients in the hospital’s Transitional Care Unit. e program, named the Mather Assistant Nurse Institute, will utilize supplemental curriculum designed by the American Red Cross that is used nationwide to train CNA's. Trainees will learn from Mather Hospital’s clinical nurse educators who are trained American Red Cross CNA program instructors. e program is scheduled to begin in November. Anyone interested should call 631-473-1320, ext. 5636, or email JBalcuk1@ Northwell.edu.

Antioxidant diet may improve outcomes

Heart failure (HF) occurs when the heart’s pumping is not able to keep up with the body’s demands for blood and oxygen and attack,Unlikedecompensate.mayaheartwhichisacute, heart failure develops slowly and may take years to become symptomatic.ereare two types of heart failure, systolic and diastolic. e basic di erence is that the ejection fraction, the output of blood with each contraction of the le ventricle of the heart, is more or less preserved in diastolic HF, while it can be signi cantly reduced in systolic HF. We have more medical research on systolic heart failure. Fortunately, both types can be diagnosed with the help of an echocardiogram, an ultrasound of the heart. e signs and symptoms of both include shortness of breath on exertion or when lying down, edema or swelling, reduced exercise tolerance, weakness and fatigue. Major lifestyle risk factors for heart failure include obesity; smoking; poor diet, including consuming too much sodium; being sedentary; and drinking alcohol excessively. Conditions that increase your risk include diabetes, coronary artery disease and high blood pressure.

Addressing iron deﬁciencies

An observational study that followed 753 heart failure patients for almost two years showed that iron de ciency without anemia increased the risk of mortality in heart failure patients by In this study, iron de ciency was de ned ferritin level less than 100 μg/L (the storage of iron) or, alternately, transferrin saturation less than 20 percent (the transport of iron) with a ferritin level in the range 100–299 μg/L. e authors conclude that iron de ciency is potentially more predictive of clinical outcomes than anemia, contributes to the severity of HF and is common in these patients.

Dr. David Dunaief is a speaker, author and local lifestyle medicine physician focusing on the integration of medicine, nutrition, tness and stress management. For further information, visit www.medicalcompassmd.com.

Typically, heart failure is treated with blood pressure medications, such as beta blockers, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers. We are going to look at how diet and iron levels can a ect heart failure outcomes.

Harnessing the Technology of our Research Giants

In previous years, Mincer has taught about statistics in general and its use in ATLAS. This year, he focused on statistics and its application to pandemic questions.

KNOWLEDGESEEKERS

BNL summer program worked with area teachers on stats and the pandemic

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

As a part of the team involved in the ATLAS physics program at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, Mincer uses statistics to design, test and implement the tools to pick and choose from numerous reactions and then to study the data collected. “We actually keep about a billion events out of the 100 trillion or so interactions the LHC produces in a year,” Mincer explained.

— ALEIDA PEREZ Above, Aleida Perez; on left, Scott Bronson during their virtual teaching sessions this summer.

Bronson added that students will have a chance to explore the kinds of questions pharmaceutical companies are addressing, such as “What would you want the next vaccine to do” and “What would you do to make the vaccine better at preventing infection.” The organizers put together teams of three to four high school and middle school teachers who created statistics lessons plans for the“Thegroup.way we worked it out, we put teachers in groups,” said Aleida Perez, supervisor of student research and citizen science programs for Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Office of Educational Programs. “We wanted to have different teachers with different courses and different perspectives on how to do things.”

As for the work with the high school teachers, Mincer said it was “great what they have been able to do” in preparing lessons for their students and sharing information aboutMincerstatistics.has received some additional funds from the NSF to support two more such educational outreach programs, one of which will tentatively cover climate change.“Statistics can be used to quantify the likelihood of events in the absence of climate change,” he explained.Statistics provide a tool to document subtle but potentially significant changes in climate. While Bronson wouldn’t commit to a discussion of climate change for the next group of teachers, he said he “wouldn’t be surprised if we look at climate change” and that “there’s a lot of interesting areas to explore in this field.”

The teachers explored the probability of side effects like myocarditis and whether the “benefit outweighs the risk of taking the vaccine,” Perez said.

One of the overarching goals was to help students understand such lessons as what it means to have a negative result on a virus test or what it meant when scientists and pharmaceutical companies described a vaccine’s efficacy.

For well over two years, herd immunity, vaccination status, social distancing, masking and airborne particles became regular topics of understandingaconversation.Peoplehaverangeof of these terms and how to apply them to understanding the fluid conditions that are an evolving part of the Thispandemic.summer, with funding from the National Science Foundation, a group of scientists and doctors from Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University, New York University and MoMath, the National Museum of Mathematics, worked together with middle school and high school teachers around Long Island to prepare lesson plans on how to use and understand the application of statistics to the pandemic.

ATLAS project

As he and his collaborators were discussing possible educational outreach topics, they focused on the disruptive disease that changed the world over the last few years. “This year, we were talking about it and, instead of doing random applications of statistics, we figured, why not do something that’s very practical in everyone’s mind,” Mincer said. The projects and discussions, which were all conducted virtually, centered on numerous misconceptions people have about the pandemic. Teachers focused on questions including: what is the “efficiency” of a vaccine and how is it determined, what does a positive virus test result mean, if I am vaccinated, why do I care if others are, why take a vaccine when there are side effects, and I have to go to school and mix with people, so why shouldn’t I also let down my guard in other ways, among others.

The teachers provided a “nice overview to look at the education of public students,” said Perez.

Several years ago, Mincer taught a freshman seminar called “Great science, fabulous science and voodoo science,” in which he described what students could learn from statistics, how the media covers science, science and government policy and how lawyers use science in the “Aftercourtroom.explaining statistics [and sharing] why we can only say we have evidence down to this level, I had a student tell me he’s dropping out of science as a major because he wanted certainty and I disillusioned him,” Mincer said.

The scientific team also hasn’t determined yet how to measure the long term impact or effectiveness of these lessons.

‘We wanted to have di erent teachers with di erent courses and di erent perspectives on how to do things.’

It was “an amazing experience” and the teachers “were the best part,” said Dr. Nachman. Allen Mincer, Professor of Physics at New York University, has been working on and off with BNL for over two decades on various educational programs. He has been more actively engaged in the last four years.

“It was a wildly successful summer,” said Dr. Sharon Nachman, Chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. “We spent hours and hours of time” working with teachers who developed lessons that addressed a host of issues related to COVID-19.

“The challenges that this virus brings concerning topics like herd immunity was very interesting,” said Scott Bronson, manager of outreach to K-12 teachers and student for BNL’s Office of Educational Programs. For teachers and their students, the realities of the pandemic were the backdrop against which these teachers were seeking to provide guidance. “It was happening live,” said Bronson. “What is herd immunity? That’s where the work of [Dr. Nachman and Mincer] came together beautifully.”

The group hopes to make these lessons available for other teachers, although they haven’t determined where or how to post them.

For many of the teachers, the discussion expanded beyond COVID to an analysis of any infectious agent. Indeed, one of the groups of teachers described a zombie apocalypse.

A stock I have owned, Nvidia, has been a casualty of a slowdown in hardware purchases. Recently, on the company’s last earnings call, it was stated that the stock has suffered from a slowdown in gaming and other core areas. It was also stated it could not predict how reduced crypto mining might hit demand for its products. All of this new technology is growing way too fast for me. I am still having trouble learning all of the features on my iPhone. With school classes resuming and the holidays fast approaching, here are thoughts on some retailing stocks. Target (tgt) looks to be a cheaper stock based on its P/E ratio than Walmart (wmt). There is a potential for 20% upside from its Friday close of $164. It trades at less than 16X earnings, while Walmart trades at 22X earnings — a 33% discount.

What we do know is that often, history repeats itself. We tell our children that they need to learn from their whereownseemHowever,mistakes.wenevertofollowouradvice.Soarewe?Tryingtogetahandle on how to manage our investments is proving to be difficult at best. The stock market is following every comment by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, hoping for a guiding light. This past Friday, stocks dropped after a strong opening despite a solid August payroll report. The report showed solid job growth, increasing labor force participation and slowing hourly wage increases. Perhaps this shows that inflation may have peaked. The report was positive enough to unlikely change monetary policy. In spite of this the S & P 500 Index still fell 1.1% with the Nasdaq Composite down 1.3%. This capped an awful August in which the S&P 500 fell more than 4%. That followed July’s 9% gain, the market’s most solid month in more than two years.

On the interest rate front, it looks like Chairman Powell will be calling for two more rate increases of 50 to 75 basis points each. Banks will be charging more for car, personal, business and mortgage loans, while paying little if any interest on your savings accounts. Hmm, not fair!!

TBR News Media does not endorse any specific investment advice and urges investors to consult with their financial advisor.

I have not spoken about Crypto in a few weeks, so here are some thoughts. If Bitcoin is crypto’s answer to gold, Ethereum is the closest thing it has to its own internet. For example, any person who wants to mint a new token or spend $150,000 on a Bored Ape non-fungible token, or NFT, probably uses the Ethereum network.

As the school year begins, what can we hope to learn?

Let’s talk about a sector of the market that is extremely perplexing. Social media is probably the most influential innovation of the 21st century. Think about this. In 2022, if an event does not appear on a social feed, it never really happened! Most of Wall Street has been blind-sided by social media’s troubles. With every passing year, digital advertising is near a point where the market is saturated.Casein point: Facebook. This stock, under its new name Meta, traded at $175 during 2017. This past Friday, it closed at $160. Over the past five years it traded as high as $380. As we have learned this past year, market realities eventually trump technology. (Note: trump with a small ‘t’).

Okay folks, the lesson for today is which month to believe. Is this the start of a new bull market or is it a bear market rally?

Benner’s Farm is located at 56 Gnarled Hollow Road in East Setauket. Advance tickets are $18 for adults, $15 seniors, and $10 for children at www.fiddleandfolk.com; $20 adults, $18 seniors and $10 for children at the door. Please bring seating. For more information, call 631-689-8172.

Featuring the best in traditional and contemporary folk music, the annual Fiddle & Folk Festival returns to Benner’s Farm in East Setauket this Sunday, Sept. 11 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The musical event will feature local fan favorites from previous years along with some fresh newTenfaces.years ago, the event was formed as a reincarnation of a previous festival in the area. "It was a revitalization of The Fiddle and Folk Fest that had been run for years through the Long Island Museum and the Long Island Traditional Music Association," said Benner's Farm's co-owner Bob Benner. Returning acts include Buddy Merriam and Taylor Ackley, Fiddle & Folk Fest veterans who have teamed up to perform their signature mandolin duo pieces, featuring their museumquality Monteleone mandolins; and Brooklynbased The New Students will be bringing their three-part vocal harmonies and skilled acoustic instrumentation.

What is Jazz? Tour takes visitors to seven jazz stops in museum

The New Students return to the Main Stage this year.

The Jazz Loft in Stony Brook will be presenting two opportunities to take a walk through jazz history with its What is JAZZ? interactive tour on Sept. 10 (starting at 6 p.m.) and Oct. 21 (starting at 7 p.m.) with guests arriving in 10-minute intervals. The unique tour is comprised of seven stops within the Jazz Loft’s museum and performance space. Each stop in Jazz history is about four minutes, during which patrons will be treated to a brief performance and historical reflection. The entire live music, interactive experience will take about 30 minutes. Guests begin in the main lobby and are welcomed to America by a lone pianist who introduces them to the BLUES. Each stop is limited to a brief historical reflection and a singular tune leaving guests hungry for more. As they continue to the Seaman Gallery, inspired by Jazz photography, guests meet a singer who introduces them to the influence of GOSPEL music in Jazz and they hear a melody reminiscent of a tent revival meeting in the deep south.

Other activities include a fiddle workshop, an open mic on the back of a 1924 Model TT Ford, vendors and a Kids Korner with crafts, stories and music. Visitors are also encouraged to stroll around the 15-acre working organic farm, meet the resident farm animals, and feel like a kid again on the Big Swing. For Bob Benner, it is an event he looks forward to every fall. "Every year I look out on the great lawn and see hundreds of people settled in and entranced with the musicians, the ambiance of the farm and the slower pace that seems to envelope the crowd. I’m glad our groups can bring that experience to our Long Island community," he said.

Presented by Homestead Arts, the Greater Port Jefferson-Northern Brookhaven Arts Council, Benner's Farm, TBR News Media and WUSB Radio, the music festival will be held rain or shine.

FEATURESTORY

New acts this year include The Serpent and The Fiddle featuring Dee Harris on mandola and Lora Kendall on fiddle who will be kicking off the festivities on the Main Stage with their intriguing interpretations of historic and traditional instrumentals; the String Sisters — Annie Mark on guitar and Maria Fairchild on banjo, playing a mix of classic country blues, old time, and original song; CJ and the Say Hey Bluez Crew, a new feel-good group comprised of musicians who share a love of upbeat jazzy blues, fronted by Claudia Jacobs, whose brassy and bold presence gets the audience on their feet; and headliners The Haymakers, a highenergy trio of veterans of the Long Island roots music scene who bring a new punch to retro favorites with the classic rockabilly instrumentation of twangy guitar, upright slap bass, and drums. Also new to the festival this year is the Pick of the Crop performer contest. According to Amy Tuttle, program director at the Greater Port Jefferson-North Brookhaven Arts Council who’s also on the festival committee, four Long Island singer-songwriters — Josie Bello, Steve Robinson, Hank Stone and Linda Sussman — “will be strutting their stuff in hopes of being selected for a spot on the Main Stage at next year’s F&FF. All four are talented in their own right, and have their own signature styles," she said. There will be a panel of music professionals judging the contest, and the audience will be given ballots to vote for their choice. The lucky winner will be announced at the end of the festival.

The Jazz Loft to host live interactive tours through jazz history

BY HEIDI SUTTON

Benner's Farm's Fiddle & Folk Festival hits 10-year milestone

The Jazz Loft is located at 25 Christian Ave., Stony Brook. Tickets to the tour are $30, $25 seniors, $20 students, $15 children. To order, call 631-751-1895 or visit www.thejazzloft.org.

The tour continues in the Milt Hinton Music Room as visitors are ushered into the birthplace of Jazz, New Orleans as they hear the sounds of EARLY JAZZ presented by a banjo/bass duo. Each time warp landing leaves no time for lingering and as the map leads from stop-to-stop, patrons head upstairs to the Teddy Charles Room. Transported to the windy city of Chicago and the heyday of the BIG BAND/SWING ERA this stop is fueled by the syncopated vibrations of a clarinet/vibraphone trio reminiscent of Benny Goodman’s unit (the vibraphone, a 1939 Deagan model actually performed with Goodman and is flanked by photos to prove it!). Six steps up the elevation climbs further to the wow-room and the journey continues as patrons are in the main performance space of the Jazz Loft, an intimate supper club environment complete with a three-tier bandstand reconstructed from the Roseland Ballroom dance floor and the towering 1927 Irving Plaza Ballroom chandelier, fully restored. Bandstand aglow in the history and story of the city that never slept, New York is alive with the energy, pep, vim and verve of BEBOP heralded by a quintet who’s never ceasing and endless energy abounds. Is there more? YES! Because the story of Jazz is still evolving as told by the singular Avant-guard trombonist in the Loft’s library who shouts and wails the sound of THINGS TO COME and of beyond the now. The tour may seem complete, but this journey of fourminute stops, scheduled so that every group of guests has their own private walk through of The Jazz Loft will certainly leave much to be Guestsdiscussed.can then proceed to the Basie Garden to enjoy some lingering sounds of LATIN JAZZ to debrief their experience. Patrons can choose from a select list of wines, craft beers, snacks and drinks available for purchase.

Pasta Norma

•

DIRECTIONS: In bowl of electric food processor combine basil, pignoli nuts, salt, pepper and garlic until mixture achieves a coarse grainy texture; with motor running add oil in a slow steady stream, then add cheese and process just enough to mix thoroughly. Cook pasta according to manufacturer’s directions; drain and reserve about half a cup — one cup of the cooking water; transfer pasta to serving bowl, add pesto, then add reserved water, a little at a time, until sauce is a thick liquid but not runny, toss to thoroughly coat, then add potatoes and beans and toss again before serving.

Now is the time to capitalize on summer’s bounty of veggies and herbs, and what better way to do that than to use them in pasta sauces. This is the time of year for a Pasta Norma with tomatoes, eggplant and ricotta salata, a pasta with pesto, potatoes and green beans or pasta with grilled veggies. Any of these can be a first course served in smallish portions, a light summer entree or accompaniment to whatever is on the barbecue. Don’t skimp on the veggies and don’t hesitate to change up any of these recipes to accommodate the day’s harvest from your or your neighbor’s garden or the farm stand.

Who doesn’t like a good vampire movie?

Quickly, Evie senses that all is not right in this Downton Abbey from Heck. Her idyll adventure becomes sort of an “Eat-SlayLove” scenario as she becomes involved with Walter, the handsome young lord of the manor. She encounters a range of characterless family members — “patriarch with an eye patch,” “butler who mumbles to himself as he dispatches the hired help,” “worried ladies’ maid,” and other stock figures who are an insult to clichés.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

REVIEWMOVIE Vampire movie The Invitation offers eternal life, but that may be too long for viewers Nathalie Emmanuel in a scene from 'The Invitation' Photo courtesy of SONY Pictures

The perfectionist in you may be unhappy with the work of a loved one or colleague, Aquarius. Try not to critique the job they do harshly. Let constructive criticism prevail.

The screenplay, by Blair Butler, seems to be absent of original thought and does nothing to help Jessica M. Thompson’s thrill-less, leaden direction. The Invitation might be the least erotic vampire movie of all time. The scene containing the most tension features a manicure and the obligatory cutting of the finger so that someone can suck the blood. Lines such as “I feel like I’m going crazy” are only equaled by the equally trite “I want to live life fully. Throw caution to the wind …” When Walter attempts to open up to Evie, the dialogue gives new meaning to cringeworthy: “I’m tired of the façade. Of keeping up appearances … It’s isolating. I want someone to see me for who I truly am. Someone who accepts me.” Poor, lonely vampire. There are some explanations of rituals involving the dark lord’s need for three wives (i.e., the Brides of Dracula). The concept of mortals who enable the family is a novel idea. The idea that these surrounding sycophants are collaborators in the evil is intriguing. But, once introduced, the idea drops, and back we go to the tedium. The pedestrian “climax” fails to deliver on a nearly clever twist. The very brief and supposedly amusing epilogue does nothing to solve this dead end. As far as the presence of gore, The Invitation is a bit bloody … bloody awful, bloody boring, a bloody waste of time. Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones) offers a strong, resourceful Evie and holds the focus. But the material limits her ability to show a great deal of range. Thomas Doherty offers a charmless Walter, more annoying than alluring. Hugh Skinner’s Cousin Oliver seems like a refugee from an earlier time; one expects him to come bounding in with a “tennis anyone?” Stephanie Corneliussen is the mean girl, and Alana Boden is the nice girl; the less said, the better. At one point, Evie cries, “I want to go home.” (So did I). Shortly after, she asks, “Why are you doing this to me?” (A question I asked aloud to the empty theatre.) Eternal life may feel long, but not as long as this movie. Regarding this Invitation, I suggest RSVP “will NOT attend.” Rated PG-13, the film is now playing in local theaters.

REVIEWED BY JEFFREY SANZEL

Gemini, this will be a week to focus on nancial gain, but don’t put too much swagger into your business negotiations; otherwise, your plans may back re.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Move at your own pace this week, Sagittarius. There is no reason to rush around. Take leisurely breakfasts and enjoy strolls around the neighborhood.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may be feeling more emotional than usual and that may lead to some unfamiliar situations. Give yourself some space to process your emotions.

There is no shortage of moving shadows, darting hands, and creepy whispers on the grounds. The house sports barred windows with sharp points, a mysterious library, candles that go out, and gramophones that turn themselves on.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, confusion or an argument may cause a lack of passion between you and your romantic partner this week. It’s only a temporary situation and can be resolved.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

You may feel that others are not giving you the respect you deserve, Scorpio. If this pertains to your career, start polishing your resume and putting out feelers.

You may be tempted to live the week in a fantasy world, Taurus. However, there are too many pressing issues that need your attention for you to tune out.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

It may seem challenging to manage your professional responsibilities with your home life this week, Cancer. Take a day o and give yourself time to exhale.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Leo, your love life is a big roller coaster this week, and you may not know if you are on or o with this special someone. It may be time to sit down and have a serious discussion.

Clearly, the creators of The Invitation. “Creators” might be inaccurate. “Responsible parties” is probably more apt. But, in what may be the only horror movie inspired by a DNA kit, the disastrous 104-minute mess manages to be witless, tiresome, and pointless.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

The film opens with a severe case of “we’re going to tell you stuff.” Evelyn “Evie” Jackson struggles as a cater-server with past due bills and aspirations of being an artist. (Her medium is ceramics, not pottery, as she later corrects her host.) Now orphaned after the passing of her mother a few months before, she floats and frets and treads water (not unlike the film). Through a genetic test, Evie connects with the English part of her family. Revealed is a history of a footman’s affair with an aristocrat, an escape, and a few other bits revealed throughout the exposition. Cousin Oliver just happens to be in New York City on business. He invites Evie to a family wedding in Yorkshire. She bids goodbye to her wisecracking, sassy best friend, packs up, and off she goes, arriving at the estate of the DeVilles. Yes. The DeVilles. Sadly, this is not even the least subtle element of the film. That ignominious award goes to the “sly” Dracula references, including the location being New Carfax, in Whitby, as well as a couple in the village named Harker. And so, it goes.

It is possible that you have outgrown certain people in your social circle, Virgo. Don’t feel bad about removing those who t this description. There are new friends to be made.

Aries, think about waking up very early or staying up late to enjoy some quiet time. You can improve upon this sense of peace by enjoying the respite outdoors.

The grant funded project runs from Sept. 1, 2022 through Dec. 31, 2023. Ranging from artistic and technological masterworks, to documentary imagery and everyday artifacts, PLI’s collections represent the social, cultural, political, and economic history of Long Island over four centuries.

The Joseph Lloyd Manor property will serve as a pilot site for the grant project. The house was the center of the Manor of Queens Village, a 3,000-acre provisioning plantation established in the late 17th century on the ancestral lands of the Matinecock Nation. Jupiter Hammon (1711–before 1806), one of the first published African American writers, was one of the many people of African descent enslaved at the site.

The collections inventory project will help bring to light new stories that can be told with the existing collections at PLI’s historic sites. In addition, with the information gathered through this project, PLI will be able to seek new acquisitions that help make PLI’s collection—and the public programs, exhibitions, interpretations, and digital content the collection supports— more relevant to more people while also enhancing public knowledge of unrepresented stories.

The museum grounds are also home to the Three Village Farmer’s Market on Fridays currently from 3 to 7 p.m. and in October from 2 to 7 p.m. Stop by to pick up some groceries and handmade gifts and enjoy the museum’s pay-what-you-can open house and access to all the exhibits.

Despite the fact that its residents practiced different religions and customs and spoke in many languages, Chicken Hill was a cohesive community. The museum has preserved its legacy by showcasing the stories of former residents in the “I Remember” portion of the exhibit, and what life was like then through its informative displays and artifacts.

The bygone village still has lessons to teach us all about neighborliness and unity. Over the course of its existence from the Industrial Revolution to the mid-20th century, the area was a melting pot for several minorities including Eastern European Jews, African Americans, and Indigenous Americans.

“PLI holds its collection in trust for the public. The IMLS grant represents a strategic investment in the management of its permanent collection,” said Alexandra Wolfe, Preservation Long Island Executive Director. “Organizationally, the project will enhance how PLI preserves and cares for its important artifacts of Long Island’s history,” said Lauren Brincat, Curator, Preservation Long Island. “Nationally, this project will promote access to and interest in Long Island’s history and cultural heritage.”

I recently had the honor of interviewing Mari Irizarry, appointed earlier this year as the Director of the TVHS, who has brought a wealth of expertise and passion to the Three Village community. According to Irizarry, the organization was founded by volunteers in 1964 to preserve the stories and artifacts of the community. “Sixty years later, that mission is at the backbone of the Society. We are stronger than ever, and it is because of community members and volunteers who dedicate their time and expertise to preserving and sharing stories with the public," she said. Did you know Setauket and its ancestral residents played a pivotal role in the American Revolution? In fact, General George Washington employed the help of several Long Island spies to gather intelligence on the British army’s operations in what is known as the Culper Spy Ring. The TVHS’s exhibit, “SPIES!” features a large, interactive space where you can follow the daring stories of members of the Ring and learn how they conveyed coded and hidden messages without being discovered by the British troops occupying Long Island.

In addition, celebrate Revolutionary War heroes by attending the TVHS’s 8th annual Culper Spy Day at the museum grounds on Sept. 10. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy an immersive colonial-era experience and participate in interactive activities such as crafts and games.

Visit the museum located at 93 North Country Road in Setauket on Thursdays from 1 to 5 p.m., Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children, and is free for TVHS members. For more information about the TVHS’s events, including tours of the exhibits, visit their website at www.tvhs.org or call 631-751-3730.

The Three Village Historical Society seeks to strengthen those ties through its work in preservation and education. Their museum at the Bayles-Swezey House in Setauket evokes the passion for history of its curators in an environment that emphasizes the important roles the Three Village area has played throughout the years.

Irizarry was eager to share some more highly-anticipated events: “Next up, after Culper Spy Day, we’re excited to bring back the Spirits Tour on October 22 where guests will join guides through the Setauket Presbyterian and Caroline Church graveyards to listen to stories from costumed actors who will portray the unknown spies during the American Revolution. We’ll cap off the year with the time-honored tradition of the Candlelight House Tour that will take place in the historic neighborhood of Old Field on Dec. 2 and 3. Five homes will be expertly decorated for the holiday season and guests will tour each home learning about the historical architecture and design.”

Grandparents Day, Sunday September 11th, celebrates and honors the important role grandparents play across generations. National Grandparents Day was designated with the purpose to show love for their children’s children, and to help children become aware of the strength, information, and guidance older people can o er. Not only is Grandparents Day a wonderful day to reach out to your grandparents, but also someone of another generation who may feel lonely. The past few years have been tough on seniors as we’ve been forced to isolate from one another. You may nd yourself wondering how to help yourself or your children create those magical moments with their grandparents. Strengthening their bond with a beloved grandparent may be easier than you think. Take a trip back in time. Asking your grandparents about the good ol’ days may seem cliche, but it’s a wonderful way to discover new reasons to appreciate your elders as unique individuals with intriguing perspectives. Encourage your kids to ask their grandparents what life was like during their youth or how they imagined life in the 2020s would be. They can compare

The hosts quickly doubled the advantage, as Selcuk Kahveci and Kameron Blaise combined for a 1-2 move that Blaise slotted home under the Hofstra keeper to give Stony Brook the cushion it would need to walk away with all threeHofstrapoints.got one back late off a far-post header but it was the only blemish on an otherwise strong day in net for Curtis Copenhaver, who recorded four saves including a pair of fingertip stops that kept the Pride from getting on the board until the 89th minute.

The Stony Brook football team kicked off the 2022 season on Sept. 1 at LaValle Stadium in front of 7,100 fans. The Seawolves and Rams played an even first half, but a second half surge by Rhode Island pushed them to a 35-14 win over StonyGraduateBrook. defensive back Carthell Flowers-Lloyd opened up the scoring for the Seawolves as he shed a block on a blitz to record a strip sack of Rhode Island quarterback Kasim Hill. FlowersLloyd scooped the ball up and ran it into the end zone for a touchdown to put the first points of the year on the board for Stony Brook with 10:14 to play in the first quarter. A back-and-forth first half saw the Rams score back-to-back touchdowns to go up 14-7 at the 10:50 mark in second quarter. With 50 seconds to play in the first half, the Seawolves punched back when redshirt senior running back Ty Son Lawton found the end zone with a two-yard touchdown run to tie the game up at Rhode14-14.Island went on to score three touchdowns in the second half which propelled it to the 35-14 advantage that it held on to win by.

"The goal was to take away the offense from a talented Providence team and I thought we did that well outside of a couple individual mistakes that they capitalized on. We're still a young team so we are going to get better game-by-game and play a very offensive game when we have the chance," said head coach Tobias Bischof. "I saw some good things from us today, which we can build on, but obviously when you look at the scoreboard, the result isn't what we wanted."

The Stony Brook women's soccer team was able to cut a 3-0 deficit down to 3-2 but were not able to find a tying goal in the final half hour as Providence defeated the Seawolves 4-2 on Sept. 4 at LaValle Stadium.

After 72 minutes of scoreless play in both team's conference openers on Sept. 3 at LaValle Stadium, the Stony Brook men's soccer team quickly secured the three points up for grabs, scoring twice in a 3:55 span to defeat Hofstra 2-1 in the first Battle of Long Island since the Seawolves joined the CAA this summer.

"We talked about conference play and how the goal each time out is to pick up points and I'm really happy we were able to do that today. The way we started the game, I thought we played really well. Our goal was to get in behind them. We know they are a physical team and they play a physical style. I thought we started to get a little fatigued as the half went on and we allowed them to get into the game but overall I thought we defended well," said head coach Ryan Anatol. "We scored two good goals and were able to put them under pressure. I would've liked to have gotten the clean sheet with us up 2-0 late. Overall, I'm happy with the performance. We had some guys come off the bench and give good performances so it was a good team win," he said.

The Memorial Parade of Boats begins at 11 a.m. at the Port Jefferson Village dock. All sailboats participating in the Regatta will pass by the park dressed in banners and nautical flags on their way out to the Long Island Sound for the race which begins at 1 p.m. Actor, director and local resident Ralph Macchio will once again serve as Village Cup Regatta Celebrity Ambassador for the event. Macchio has helped to publicize the important work of the two programs funded by the Regatta for the last ten years. Macchio’s wife, Phyllis, is a nurse practitioner in Mather’s Palliative Medicine Program. Following the Regatta, a celebratory Skipper’s Reception and presentation of the Village Cup will take place at 3:30 p.m. in a restored 1917 shipyard building that today serves as the Port Jefferson Village Center.
