“The amount of work Jeffrey puts in is completely unmatched. Watching him work up close is amazing – he’ll agonize over something as small as the placement of a book or the lighting being a certain way. He has a vision of how everything fits together, not just as a director but an actor,” said Andy Markowitz, president of Theatre Three’s board of directors.

f you’ve been to Theatre Three in Port Jefferson at any point in the last 30 years, you have Jeffrey Sanzel to thank. Of course, he doesn’t see it that way, but as Executive Artistic Director, he’s responsible for overseeing everything from the upcoming season’s lineup to hiring actors and managing day-to-day operations.
So when it came time to choose an honoree for Theatre Three's 50th anniversary celebration and fundraiser, the decision was a simple one.
Beyond that, he’s also written countless shows of his own and taken his turn onstage. Each December, he reprises the iconic role of Ebenezer Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol,” and most recently starred in “Every Brilliant Thing,” an intimate one-man production about mental health.
The dinner/dance celebration was originally slated for 2020, the theater’s anniversary year, but was shelved during the"Afterpandemic.theoriginal plans were canceled, there was a suggestion to have a 55th celebration instead, but ultimately this is about recognizing Jeffrey for all he does. He deserves it, and this is his time. There's no need to wait," said Theatre Three's Managing Director Vivian Koutrakos who met Sanzel when he first joined the Theatre
Three staff in 1989. Since then, he's earned a reputation for being a meticulous and serious director, but he's got a humorous side,"It'stoo.true that his humor is dry and he runs a very tight ship. But he's honestly the funniest person I've ever met, and he makes us laugh every day," Koutrakos said. "He's absolutely brilliant."
Now in its 52nd season, proceeds from the evening will be used to expand Theatre Three’s programming, particularly for children.“Themoney raised is going towards new educational programs, specifically one called ‘How Does It Make You Feel?,’ an original musical aimed at elementary schools. The play will address many socialemotional learning topics,” said Sanzel. “In addition, there is a long-term project in the works for educational touring that I'm working on with Oya Bangura from Project Move.”

In addition to the traveling shows, the theater puts on a full mainstage season, children’s theater productions, comedy nights and special events. They also offer acting classes for all ages and skill levels.
“I think all of us at the theater saw our 50th year as a real turning point. Times are always hard in the arts, but with Jeffrey’s leadership we've been able to keep going and maintain the integrity and quality of our work. This team respects Jeffrey and the mark he's made on this institution so much,” he said. "Personally, he’s given me so many incredible opportunities, brought my stories to life, and become

The scientists rotated and moved the crystal through the x-ray, distributing the beam over the length of the crystal to minimize radiation damage.
Andi said the Pfizer treatment Paxlovid binds to the active site of this enzyme, inactivating it.
The technology for the beamline enables Andi and other scientists to collect data quickly and even remotely. Speed helps because the longer x-rays hit a protein, the more likely they are to cause the kind of damage that makes determining the structure difficult, particularly at higher temperatures.
Of the 195,000 structures listed in the Protein Data Bank, or PDB, only five had been determined at body temperature. That includes two from the group of collaborators who participated in this study.
“I am interested [in continuing] the research in this field,” he explained. “That on time, resources and current or future

Recently, the researchers revealed the structure at five temperatures of an enzyme called Mpro, for main protease. This enzyme, which separates proteins the virus makes, is critical for the maturation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus particles. They published their work in the Journal of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCrJ).
“I’m happy this happened,” he said. “I find that I’m actually more interested in molecular biology than in Outsideastronomy.”of work, Andi enjoys do-it-yourself projects. Astronomy also continues to appeal to him, as he is fascinated with astrophotography and reads astronomy articles.
Keedy hopes to try to make a monomeric form of the enzyme through a mutation. He could then find drug-like small molecules that target the exposed interface between the two copies.
priorities.”
The small size of the x-ray beam made it possible to keep the beam focused on the smallest dimension of the structure. The researchers studied the crystal at five different temperatures, starting at cryogenic all the way up to physiological.
The researchers did not include other factors that might affect the conformation of the protein, such as pH, pressure, the number of ions or salts in the environment, among others. For the Mpro protease to work, it has to bond to another similar protein, forming a dimer.

For close to two and a half years, the world has had a microbial enemy. The SARS-CoV2 virus, which causes Covid19, has resulted in close to 6.5 million deaths, caused lockdowns, restricted travel, closed businesses, and sickened millions. The key to fighting such a dangerous enemy lies in learning more about it and defeating its battleWorkingplan.

During his childhood, Andi was initially interested in astronomy.
“The different conformations we saw may inspire a new twist on antiviral drug development that targets a different place in the protein, but with a similar or better effect,” Keedy explained.
When he enrolled at a university outside the United States, he took an entrance exam.
As for the work with a Covid enzyme, Andi hopes he has other opportunities to contribute.
Andi collected three or four data sets at each temperature.

How they solved the structure
“Based on your score, it tells you which discipline of science you can go into,” he said. His score directed him to the field of cell and molecular biology.
Using the Frontier Macromolecular Crystallography (FMX) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II at BNL, Andi collected data on the structure of the enzyme at temperatures ranging from 100 degrees Kelvin, which is about negative 280 degrees Fahrenheit, all the way up to 310 degrees Kelvin, which is normal body temperature. “Nobody had done that, specifically for this protein,” said Andi.
“great collaboration.” The gradual change in the conformation of the enzyme helped the scientists learn how it may move or shape-shift in general, he explained.
After he completed his PhD and post doctoral work at the University of Oklahoma, Andi started his career at BNL 11 years ago as a post doctoral researcher.
“When Covid hit, we had a sense that this is our duty, this is our job to contribute to this field, to make sure that every scientist who works on Covid-19 had easy access to our beamlines, facilities and all the tools [necessary] to make new drugs,” said Andi.
Keedy had worked with BNL in the past and pursued research at the FMX beamline because the scientists at BNL had “been working with Mpro on site, and were very approachable and open to the Findingidea.”the specific structure of important proteins like Mpro can help researchers, pharmaceutical companies and doctors search for inhibitors or small molecules that could be specific to these proteins and that might interfere with their function.Andi and other scientists at this beamline worked through the pandemic shutdown because of the potential practical application of what they were doing.
The first step in this research was in producing this protein, which Andi’s collaborators at BNL in the biology department provided. The biology department also helped withAndicrystallization.preparedthe beamline and aligned the x-ray beam, which are necessary to collect data.
While coming into the lab in those early months raised concerns about their own health, Andi and his colleagues, who developed safety protocols, felt an urgency to conduct this research.
The drugs he is looking for are similar, although he is also searching for other places on the enzyme besides its active site.
with principal investigator Daniel Keedy, Assistant Professor at the City University of New York and Diamond Light Source in the United Kingdom, Babak Andi, who is a beamline scientist from the structural biology group at Brookhaven National Laboratory, spent over two years studying a key viral enzyme.
“We almost had all the infrastructures in place to allow other scientists to connect and operate the beamlines remotely, enabling them to collect data on Covid-19 virus proteins,” said Andi. “In my opinion, being able to support all the academic and industrial scientists to collect data for Covid-19 research was our greatest achievement during the worst period of the pandemic.”

A study presented this past August at the European Society of Cardiology Congress looked at the role of simple physical activity in the elderly (6). It found that those 85 and older reduced the risk of all-cause mortality 40 percent by walking just 60 minutes a week. is is physical activity that does not actually qualify as exercise.
Modest lifestyle changes can add quality years
Health Study 2 trial reinforced this data. It looked at Seventhday Adventists, a group that emphasizes a plant-based diet, and found that those who ate animal protein once a week or less had a signi cantly reduced risk of dying over the next six years compared to those who were more frequent meat eaters (8). is was an observational trial with over 73,000 participants and a median age of 57 years old.
We are told repeatedly to exercise. Here’s one reason. Results of one study showed that 5 to 10 minutes of daily running, regardless of the pace, can have a signi cant impact on life span by decreasing cardiovascular and all-cause mortality (4).

interleukin-6. e study showed that higher levels did not bode well for participants’ longevity (9). In fact, if participants had elevated IL-6 (>2.0 ng/L) at both baseline and at the end of the 10-year follow-up period, their probability of healthy aging decreased by almost half.
Get at least modest exercise
e good news is that in ammation can be improved signi cantly with lifestyle changes.etakeaway from this study is that IL-6 is a relatively common biomarker for in ammation. It can be measured with a simple blood test o ered by most major laboratories. is study involved 3,044 participants over the age of 35 who did not have a stroke, heart attack or cancer at the beginning of the study.

A long-standing paradigm has been that we need to eat su cient animal protein. However, cracks have developed in this theory, especially as it relates to longevity.
is past Monday, Canada honored the life of Queen Elizabeth II. Among other tributes, there was a 96-shot salute, with one shot for each year of her life. As you might imagine, it took a Whilewhile.living to 96 was once unusual, it’s becoming more common. According to the National Institutes of Health, those in the U.S. who were more than 90 years old increased by 2.5 times over a 30-year period from 1980 to 2010 (1). is group is among what researchers refer to as the “oldest-old,” which includes those aged 85 and older.
Amazingly, even if participants ran fewer than six miles per week at a pace slower than 10-minute miles, and even if they ran only one to two days a week, there was still a decrease in mortality compared to nonrunners. ose who ran for this very short amount of time potentially added three years to their life span. ere were 55,137 participants ranging in age from 18 to 100 years old.
However, this did not hold true if the protein source was plants. In fact, a highprotein plant diet may reduce the risks, not increase them. e reason, according to the authors, is that animal protein may increase insulin growth factor-1 and growth hormones that have detrimental e ects on the body.eAdventists
Reduce systemic inflammation
BY DAVID DUNAIEF, MD
Eat less animal protein
e bottom line is that, although genetics are important for longevity, so too are lifestyle choices. A small amount of exercise and replacing animal protein with plant protein can contribute to a substantial increase in healthy life span. IL-6 may be a useful marker for in ammation, which could help predict healthy or unhealthy outcomes. erefore, why not have a discussion with your doctor about testing to see if you have an elevated IL-6? Lifestyle modi cations may be able to reduce these levels.

The program will provide a holistic support system for up to 50 new STEM students each year, including scholarships, housing, research stipends, mentoring, internships, and academic and career advising.“Iam extremely honored to be named the inaugural executive director of the Stony Brook Simons STEM Scholars Program and excited to embark on this new journey with the Stony Brook University community and the Simons Foundation,” says Cabrera. “I am guided by the quote ‘to whom much is given, much is required,’ and stand by that motto as a foundation to my passion for ushering in a new generation of STEM leaders. As mentors throughout my career helped nurture my curiosity and love of math and science, I am driven by the ability to do the same for the Simons scholars.”

After the breeding season, the American Goldfinch experiences a full body molt replacing the colorful breeding plumage with a duller but still attractive feather coat of subdued colors. This is the goldfinch that visits your yard feeders during the colder months. With the arrival of Spring the male molts again, this time a partial molt involving only its body feather (but not its wings and tail) and the “canary yellow” plumage has returned.

Goldfinch are common on Long Island both in wild places and as a regular visitor to backyard thistle feeders. They are routinely found in open habitats with trees — picture a meadow dotted with widely spaced trees — and are a common nesting bird here. Given their attraction to open habitats they are a species that has probably benefited from clearing and the removal of forests and are likely much more common today than when the country was founded. Underscoring their abundance, they were possible, probable, or confirmed breeders in 94% of the designated blocks in the 2005 statewide Breeding Bird Atlas; the only
While the “potato chip” sequence may be the bird’s most familiar vocalization, they have other songs and calls. Their typical song is a delight — varied notes of different intensity and tone, given rapidly, imparting a happy quality to the song. They also have a call that has a distinctive “wheezy” quality, quite similar in sound to other finches.

nest. This material helps the bird to make a tightly constructed nest, so well constructed it can hold water. The abandoned nests are sometimes used as wintering and food storage sites for mice and chipmunks, making snug homes and pantries.

Something along the lines of: “While there’s always the outside possibility of seeing a canary that’s escaped from its cage, it's much more likely you’ve just seen an American Goldfinch, one of the more colorful native songbirds native to Long Island, brilliantly wrapped in its garb of lemon yellow marked with black wings, tail, and a cap.”
Once in a while I get a phone call, text or email message along the following lines: “John, could I have seen a canary? Moments ago I saw a bright yellow bird at my bird feeder.”. My response?

Long Island's canary
Two other goldfinch species — Lesser and Lawrence’s — occur in North America. These are both western species and rarely if ever turn up here. So if you vacation in the West be on the lookout for these cousins of the American Goldfinch, and of course you might see American Goldfinch too, as their breeding distribution encompasses all of the lower 48 states. And if you see the American Goldfinch in Washington you will have seen its official state bird (it is also the state bird of Iowa and New Jersey).
I hope you also see goldfinch during your late summer rambles or later in the year at your bird feeders — and are imbued too with good fortune, not the least of which is just the opportunity to watch these most colorful and cheery of birds.
The most telltale sign of breeding is the male goldfinch’s nuptial flight. With the female watching from below, the male flies in a wide circle a hundred or feet above the ground in a classic undulating or roller coaster-like pattern, all the while singing which contains a phrase that has been likened to “potato chip, potato chip”! We heard a male goldfinch “potato chipping” regularly over our backyard patio while eating dinner outside on several late August nights, suggesting our yard was within breeding territory. I looked for a nest among the yard’s shrubbery but, alas, turned up empty. Henry David Thoreau observed the goldfinch's nuptial display and characterized the bounding flight as if the bird was "skimming over unseen billows.” I, too, came up empty in feeling any buoyant billows but enjoyed the repeated phrases of "potato chip" as I ate potato salad.
And, as mentioned above, they are a welcome and regular visitor to backyard feeding stations, favoring cylindrical thistle feeders where they often compete with each other to gain a perch upon which to snatch thin black thistle seeds. In the winter they are often joined by their finch cousins: Pine Siskins and Common Redpolls, all of which relish thistle seeds. Watching these three colorful species jostling to secure thistle seeds provides one of the birding delights of this Speakingseason. of thistle, the goldfinch has an intimate relationship with the wildflower and it affects their breeding biology. Goldfinch, unlike almost all other songbirds, eat and feed its young very little animal protein such as caterpillars, moths, or beetles. Rather, they eat and feed their nestlings seeds, of which thistle makes up the bulk (but also seeds from other composites). Given this, unlike other songbirds that breed in spring, they have to wait until middle to late summer to breed, until thistle has bloomed and set seed. At a time when other birds have either finished breeding or are well into raising their second brood, goldfinch are just beginning their family-raising chores — it’s not at all unusual to see breeding in late July through August, even into early September.
The black coloration and the white wing bars and undertail coverts complete the colorful and distinctive plumage of this native songbird species, distinguishing its appearance from any exotic canary that has escaped from captivity.
Much folklore and indigenous American stories surround the goldfinch. Writing about indigenous people stories, one animal folklorist notes: “In one Iroquois legend, goldfinches were originally a drab black or grey color. Dissatisfied with their plumage, these finches only earned their gold coloration through an act of selfless kindness. As the story goes, a fox took a nap beneath a pine tree. As he did this, the sap dropped into his eyes and sealed them shut. He begged for help and the drab grey finches agreed to help him. They worked in shifts pecking at the sap until the fox could open his eyes again. The fox offered them a reward of their choice for their help. When they asked him for brighter colors, the fox pressed yellow flowers into paint and painted the finches with his tail as a brush. The finches were so pleased with their new plumage that they began to flutter, dance, and sing. This is the reason that finches still flutter while they fly and sing such cheerful songs!”
Given their bright and sunny colors, bubbly songs, and gregarious nature, goldfinches have long been symbols of good luck and to see one, or better yet, to watch a flock, was a good omen meaning good fortune. I think my spouse, Georgia, I and our three dogs Esmy, Henry, and Daisy are in line for much good fortune because during a recent walk we had a flock of twenty-four goldfinches perched in a copse of shrubs at Forsythe Meadow County Park in Stony Brook. For Georgia and me, though, the good fortune was watching and listening to this cheery flock of lemonyellow sprites of sunshine, singing away for minutes on end. For the dogs, their fortune came when they each received a barbecueflavored dog cookie at the end of the walk.
place they were routinely missed was in the heavily forested areas of the Adirondack Mountains, making them one of the top ten most widespread breeders in the state.
Thistle also plays an important role in nest building as goldfinch routinely use thistle down for lining the inner cup of their

Guys and Dolls premiered on Broadway in 1950 winning the Tony Award for Best Musical. It was adapted for the movies in 1955 with a star-studded cast including Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra, Jean Simmons and Vivian Blaine. Since then, this fan favorite has enjoyed numerous Broadway and London revivals before venturing into Port Jefferson.

double mess. He doesn’t have the money for the garage and now he owes Sky $1,000 for losing their bet.
Theatre Three’s Guys and Dolls is a jubilant celebration of Broadway’s Golden Age. Don't miss this one.
Inspiration for this 1950’s musical came from early 20th Century short stories penned by Damon Runyan most notably “The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown,” “Blood Pressure" and "Pick the Winner." Runyan’s penchant toward gambling, especially craps and horse racing, played out in his short stories and in this musical. Likewise, Runyan’s connection to the underworld and best friend, mobster accountant, Otto Berman, is reflected in his works with Berman given the alias “Regret the horse player.” Runyan and his humorous works about gamblers, hustlers, and gangsters from Brooklyn or Midtown Manhattan with unusual names such as “Nathan Detroit,” “Big Julie” and “Harry the Horse” proved a perfect springboard for creating this delightfully entertaining musical.
"Luck Be a Lady" "If I Were a Bell"
There are essentially four leads in this show. Rachel Greenblatt is engaging as puritanical missionary Sarah Brown, dedicated to saving sinners and surprised by her own vulnerability at falling for smooth talking gambler, Sky Masterson (Kevin Shaw). Greenblatt hits the stratosphere with her trilling soprano in such songs as "I’ll Know, If I Were a Bell" and "I’ve Never Been in Love Before." Shaw’s Sky Masterson is suave, charismatic and oh so cool as a big-time gambler, but becomes equally surprised to realize he has fallen for this prudish do-gooder. There are two showstoppers in this musical and Shaw owns one of them with his rousing "Luck Be a Lady."
Frank Loesser’s stunning music combined with his compelling lyrics accompanied by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows’ whimsical book resulted in a one-of-a-kind show that truly represents Broadway’s Golden Age.

with gambling and not his fiancée, Adelaide (Sari Feldman), with whom he has been engaged for the past 14 years. Uihlein and Feldman are adorable together and their duet in "Sue Me" is humorous as Nathan tries to deflect Adelaide’s insistence that they marry. Feldman equally shines when belting out "Adelaide’s Lament" bemoaning that her one continuous cold is due to waiting so long for that band of gold. Feldman luxuriates in Adelaide’s affectations including her highpitched New York City accent, rhythmic gait and innocence mixed with determination to finally marry that man.
The adroit Company in this show takes on Ryan Nolin’s impressive choreography with gusto. In the Latin flavored Havana interlude the dancers — Rob Ferzola, Melissa Norman, Cassidy Rose O’Brien and Alex Yagud-Wolek — exude sensuality as they ease into Nolin’s gorgeous tableaus. Nolin keeps the party going with Adelaide’s animated Hot Box chorus girls and their effervescent dance routines.Thesecond showstopper belongs to Finn MacDevitt’s animated Nicely-Nicely Johnson whose bouncy aerobic routines in "Sit Down, You’re Rockin the Boat," received rousing applause on opening night.

Yet another story takes place on July 4, 1942, in Juárez, Mexico, where Francisco “Pancho” Morales, a bartender in Tommy’s Place, a favorite hangout for GIs from Fort Bliss, concocted the cocktail. According to Pancho, a woman entered the premises and ordered a cocktail called a Magnolia. He didn’t know the ingredients, so he whipped together his own version of a Magnolia and called it a Margarita, Spanish for daisy.

There are many stories as to the origin of the Margarita cocktail. One story states that Danny Negrete, the manager at the Garci Crespo Hotel in Puebla, Mexico, created it for his girlfriend in 1936. Others believe it was created in 1938 in Rosarito Beach, Tijuana and named after showgirl Marjorie King, who was allergic to many distilled spirits except tequila. Danny (Carlos) Herrera, the bartender, kept inventing new and exciting ways to serve tequila so Marjorie would not be bored.

One message contained in the High Holy Day liturgy is that at this time of year, our destinies are determined. On Rosh Hashana it is written, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed, who will live and who will die, and what will become of us in the year ahead.
Thursday 29
Whether or not we are participating in the Jewish holy days, let us all. as human beings, realize the awesome nature of our ability to affect our own lives and the lives of those around us. This can happen in many ways, and is different for each of us. Yet one privilege we all share is exercising our freedom to vote.

Continued from page B19
To be honest, this is not a statement that many of us believe literally. We may not think that our destiny is pre-determined. But the message still is significant. We realize that there are times in our lives that do determine what happens to us. Even the liturgy we read states that our actions can help alter the outcome of what is to be.

Stony Brook had a chance to equalize 10 minutes earlier than it did, as a cross fell to Reilly Rich but her shot from just inside the 6-yard box was cleared off the line by the Manhattan defense.
"We played really hard and competed the whole game for four quarters, which was good to see. We had some uncharacteristic procedure penalties which we have not had all preseason and it hurt us in a couple of crucial situations. Our defense gave up 13 points when it was all said and done – when you look at it from that perspective I thought it was a good day for that group (the defense)," said head coach Chuck Priore.

Both small in stature, Holly (in the cat house) was just a baby herself when she had Mistletoe so they have grown up together. They found themselves at the shelter when their human mom became ill. Holly is loving and outgoing and Misteltoe is sweet and cuddly once she gets to know you. If you would like to meet these sweethearts, please call ahead to schedule an hour to properly interact with them in a domestic setting.

The risk factors. Most at-risk are those with an underlying heart condition, family history, high blood pressure, obesity or chronic condition such as thyroid disease, sleep apnea or diabetes. Add to the mix, also, being over 60 years old.

Eat heart healthy. When making out your grocery list, opt for a diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, skinless poultry and fish, nuts and legumes. Limit the usual suspects … saturated and trans fats, sodium, red meats, and sugary foods and beverages. If you are obese, a weight loss of just 10 percent can decrease symptoms of AFib.
Listen to your body. Know your “Big 3” numbers — cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. Getting more active, losing weight and making smart food choices can help get your numbers into a healthy range. Tell your doctor about any new symptoms or if your treatment isn’t working for you.
OUR EXPERT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS
Get enough zzzzs. More than half of those with AFib don’t sleep well due to sleep apnea — multiple miniawakenings caused by irregular breathing. If you aren’t getting six to eight hours a night, let your doctor know.

Be smart about caffeine, alcohol and smoking. Cut back on or avoid alcohol, which is a very strong trigger for AFib. Researchers have not
