On Saturday, Oct. 22 from 9:45 a.m. to 3 p.m., The Long Island Museum, 1200 Route 25A, Stony Brook will celebrate its blockbuster summer exhibition Long Island in the Sixties with a full-day symposium of the same name. By the close of the 1960s, although the Long Island region had become more economically prosperous than 27 states, it was experiencing a wide array of social, political and cultural changes that went beyond demographic shifts and industrial development. Five guest speakers will explore some of the most trenchant developments that occurred across the region during the 1960s. Join us to examine and more deeply understand the lasting impact that suburban and economic trends, the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair, the local Civil Rights Movement, regional architecture and Long Island’s popular music made on this local area and in the United States at large. Presenters will include Stephen Patnode, associate professor of history and acting chair of Farmingdale State College’s Department of Science, Technology and Sociology; Christopher Verga, professor of history at Suffolk County Community College and author of “Civil Rights on Long Island,” Arcadia Publishing Inc.; Caroline Rob Zaleski, preservationist and architectural historian and author of “Long Island Modernism, 1930-1980,” SPLIA and W.W. Norton; Lawrence R. Samuel, independent scholar and American cultural historian and author of “The End of the Innocence: The 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair,” Syracuse University Press; and John Broven, music historian and custodian

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

Should we embrace a low-carb diet?
It’s a persistent question: Should we minimize our carbohydrate consumption? Unfortunately, it depends on a number of factors including the type of carbohydrate and your family and personal history of chronic disease such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, high triglycerides and hypertension. If this seems complicated and confusing to you, you are not alone. We have been bamboozled, railroaded or whatever term you like about carbohydrates for decades. The body is like a chemistry set in that it turns many different types of carbohydrates into sugar. In other words, most of the sugar we consume is not what we add to food, but rather the food that our bodies turn into sugar. This is what’s so dangerous because it raises our blood sugar level. The FDA has reBy David cently tried to quanDunaief, M.D. tify the amount of sugar we should consume on a daily basis (1). The agency recommends that we get no more than 50 grams of ADDED sugar a day. This seems like an easy task, for who would add 14.5 teaspoons of sugar to their food or drink in a day? Ah, but there is a catch: It includes processed foods such as refined carbohydrates and beverages. In fact, one can of soda may be enough to reach the upper limits of this recommendation. We have been told for years that fats, especially saturated fats, were the enemy. Remember the food pyramid? The USDA had grains as its foundation for the longest time. Why would this be? Well, as it turns out, this is not a conspiracy theory but an actual scheme by the sugar industry to influence what we ate. They blamed fats as the cause for chronic diseases. However, they were very tricky in their approach, influencing scientists in the 1960s and 1970s with a small amount money, as was recently disclosed in a medical journal. We will discuss this in more detail.
Not all carbs are created equal Carbohydrates come in many different forms. It depends on how much fiber they contain and whether they’re in liquid or solid form (2). Don’t focus on whether the carbohydrates are soluble or insoluble, complex or simple. What is important is that some carbs don’t raise our blood sugar levels, while others have a much higher propensity to raise them. The carbs that don’t, or are less likely to, include fruits, nonstarchy vegetables, beans, legumes, pasta made from beans and tofu. With these, for the most part, you can eat a plentiful amount and may help prevent and even reverse chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity. However, carbs that raise our blood sugar are grains, especially refined grains, starchy vegetables like potatoes, fruit juice, sweets, bread, grain pasta, dried fruit, alcohol, soda, condiments and sauces. Let’s look at the evidence.
Sugar industry manipulation
You wouldn’t think we could be fooled by the sugar industry or distracted into thinking that saturated fats are what’s detrimental, not carbohydrates, and in their simplest form, sugars. This is just what the sugar industry did. A recent article in JAMA flushes this out (3). The Sugar Research Foundation, the predecessor to the Sugar Association, paid three Harvard scientists to focus on fat and cholesterol as contributing factors to the rise in heart disease, not sugar. The resulting low-fat diet craze led to products loaded with sugar, like Snackwell cookies. How much did they pay the researchers? A paltry $50,000 total in current monetary value. One of the scientists involved became the director of nutrition at the USDA. While the sugar industry and Harvard scientists in the 1960s may have conspired to downplay the dangers of sugar, strong evidence has now come to light that sugar, especially refined sugar, plays a role in heart disease and many other chronic diseases. However, this does not exonerate foods with high levels of saturated fat such as animal products. We could never fall for this again, right? Well, that is what Coca-Cola was hoping to repeat recently by paying scientists millions of dollars to blame exercise, not diet, for the increase in heart disease, diabetes and obesity (4). This was recently revealed in a New York Times article entitled, “Coca-Cola Funds Scientists Who Shift Blame for Obesity Away From Bad Diets.” The Global Energy Balance Network, a nonprofit advocacy group, was influenced by the funding from Coke. In fact, a 2013 peer-reviewed journal article argued similar ridiculous assertions (5). It was subsequently amended to note the funding by Coca-Cola. The difference is that scientists now have to disclose any paid industry associations when published in a peer-reviewed journal, unlike in the 1960s and 1970s.
Here is the corker: It did not matter what type of potato they were eating! Although I could not find data that delineated the different types of potato, this may imply sweet potato.
Whole fruit vs. nonstarchy veggies vs. starchy veggies Many people who want to lose weight find the task to be downright daunting. The following may provide motivation. In a study, results showed that eating whole fruit helped people lose weight. Nonstarchy vegetables also had similar results; however, starchy vegetables caused people to put on the pounds (7). The fruits included berries, pears and apples. The vegetables with the most positive weight-loss impact were cauliflower and soy/tofu. Starchy vegetables included corn and potatoes. This was a meta-analysis involving three studies and over 130,000 men and women.
Clinical example — what a surprise! In my practice, I had been encouraging patients to eat starchy vegetables that were high in a class of nutrients known as carotenoids. These starchy vegetables include sweet potato, acorn squash, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, pumpkin and corn. Well, it turns out that a number of my patients indeed had higher nutrient levels in their blood, but unfortunately had no decrease in the inflammatory marker, C-reactive protein (CRP), that usually accompanies this effect. Even worse, their triglycerides, insulin levels and HbA1C, a measure of three-month sugars, were actually elevated and they could not lose weight. The moral of the story is that we don’t have to be on a low-carb diet. Instead, we should focus on consuming carbohydrates that may prevent and reverse disease, such as fruits, nonstarchy vegetables and beans, while trying to minimize those that would potentially have the opposite effect, including starchy vegetables, disappointingly. The response to carbohydrates tends to depend on individuality when it comes to whole grains and starchy vegetables, though those with diabetes, heart disease, obesity and hyperinsulinemia would be advised to minimize their intake. Of course, all of us should minimize our intake of refined grains, sugars and processed foods.
Not all carbs are created equal.
Starchy vegetables — be leery! It is not only refined grains that are a problem. Another is starchy vegetables, in this case potatoes. In a recent study, results showed that potatoes increased the risk of diabetes, while replacing them with whole grains may decrease this risk (6). Those who ate less than two to four servings of starchy vegetables per week had a 7 percent increased diabetes risk, and those who ate at least seven servings per week had a 33 percent increased risk. Those who consumed french fries had even higher risks for diabetes. This was a meta-analysis including data from three prestigious sources, the Health Professional Follow-up Study and The Nurses’ Health Study I and II, involving almost 200,000 men and women across the three studies with a minimum duration of 20 years.

A labor of love
Community garden grows in Port Jefferson By EllEn BarcEl

Top, volunteers plant seeds for the community garden at the Teen library center; above, the seeds are moved to a window to grow; left, a butterfly bush blooms at the edge of the garden.
Tucked among the quaint shops on East Main Street in Port Jefferson is an urban oasis. A community garden came to Port Jefferson this past growing season. The new garden is located in front of the 1812 Captain Thomas Bayles House, right next to the Port Jefferson Free Library on East Main Street. The former home of the Scented Cottage Garden gift shop, the historic building was sold to the library last year. Erin Schaarschmidt, head of teen services for the library, said “there are no plans just yet” for the future of the building, and “public input is needed” with suggestions for its future use, but the front lawn of the property was quickly put to use. The idea for the community garden came from Anthony Bliss, youth services librarian. Bliss, who works with children and teens, wanted something that the younger children could do. “And teen volunteers are always clamoring for community service,” said Schaarschmidt. “The teens started the seeds in the teen center in spring [which is across the street from the main building]. Then the children came with their families to plant [the seedlings]… the teens have been weeding it to keep up with it.” Even when school started, teens have been coming in the afternoons after school. Commenting on the dedication of the teen volunteers, Schaarschmidt noted, “The teen volunteers even came when it was 90 degrees or more and in the rain. It really was a labor of love.” The garden featured several types of tomatoes and peppers in raised beds. Welcome Inn, a soup kitchen in Port Jefferson, was the recipient of the bounty. But vegetables were not the only plants raised in the community garden. Lots of annuals including sunflowers, impatiens, zinnia and salvia, many in colorful planters decorated by a local Girl Scout group, filled the garden, as well as herbs such as basil and mint. There was even an aquatic gar-
den with water hyacinths and a fountain. Painted rocks placed carefully along the beds completed the picture. The brightly colored birdhouses that adorn some of the larger perennials in the garden, such as the beautiful hydrangeas, are embossed with the letters PJFL. But what is more unique about them is that they were made using a three-dimensional printer that the library owns. A 3D printer makes objects from a digital file. So instead of printing out a photo of a birdhouse, the 3D printer produces the birdhouse itself. Using PLA, a type of biodegradable plastic, the teens created the colorful additions. The library owns the printer, but currently it is used only for special programs. “It takes one to two hours to print each thing,” said Schaarschmidt, so the process is time consuming, but “in the future [the public] will be able to use it.” She noted that the library is working out details, including the cost. Now that autumn is just about here, plans include putting in a fall display of mums and corn stalks. Noted Schaarschmidt, “The Friends of the Library will be having a small sale of pumpkins to raise money for the library on Oct. 22.” She added, kids will be able to have their photos taken. “It will be a family event.” Check the library’s website, www.portjefflibrary.org, for specifics, or call 631-473-0022 closer to the date. Community gardens have so many benefits: produce for those who can’t afford it, service for local volunteers and, of course, the beauty of the plants themselves. They increase local property values and they cut down on the distance food must travel, helping to control pollution, to name just a few. For further information on community gardens, especially if you are interested in starting, or taking part in one, can be found at the American Community Gardening Association website: www.communitygarden.org. Ellen Barcel is a freelance writer and master gardener. To reach Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County and its Master Gardener program, call 631-727-7850.

Apple Pie YIELD: Makes one 9-inch pie, serves 6 to 8 INGREDIENTS: Crust: • • • •
2½ cups all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons sugar ¼ teaspoon salt 1½ cups (3 sticks) cold, unsalted butter, cubed • ½ cup ice water Filling:
Boar’s Head Londonport
Preheat oven to 375 F. In a food processor, using a metal blade, pulse your flour, sugar and salt together. Add in cold, cubed butter and pulse. Slowly drizzle in ice water, one tablespoon at a time. You should have a course, crumbly mixture. (If you don’t have a food processor, combine ingredients in a large bowl using a pastry blender or fork.) Before the dough has formed a ball, remove the blade and take dough out, bringing it together by hand. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. It is very important to work with cold dough. In a large bowl, toss apples in lemon juice, flour, sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. Once dough is cold, take dough out of plastic wrap and divide in half. Return one half, in plastic wrap, to the fridge. On a lightly floured surface, roll your ½ of dough out into a circle, 12 to 14 inches round and about ¼ inch thick. Gently take the corners, lift the dough and transfer it to pie pan. Lightly press sides against the bottom and sides of pan. Trim overhanging dough so that you’re left with ½ inch and fold excess under the edge of the pan. Pour apple mixture into pie pan and cover the top of the apples with pats of butter. Take second half of dough from fridge and repeat process of rolling it out to a 12 to 14 inch circle, ¼ inch thick. Cover the entire pie with remaining rolled-out dough. Pierce holes in the top of dough to allow heat to escape (so there isn’t a steam buildup inside the pie.) Seal the edges of the pie by fluting the dough (stamping the dough with a fork) around the edge of the pie pan. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk and add a splash of water. Brush the egg mixture all over the top of the crust and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 50 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Some people celebrate Halloween only during October. For these people Wicks Garden on Route 25A in St. James has plenty of pumpkins and creepy crawly kitsch and other Halloween decorations. However, for diehards who like a bit of Halloween fright all year long, Wicks Garden also has Winnie, the resident witch. She is enormous and along with her humongous spider hovers over the building. Constructed out of metal, canvas and scrap wood, Winnie looms over the greenhouses and garden shop and has been making passersby do a double take since 1976.

‘DDT Wars’
By Charles F. Wurster
Environment Reviewed by Melissa Arnold In 1972, the pesticide DDT was banned across the United States following proven harmful effects on wildlife. The positive impact of the ban cannot be understated. According to a recent study by the Connecticut Audubon Society, the population of ospreys is 31 times greater than it was in 1970. The bald eagle population is 25 times greater nationwide. But before the ban, former Stony Brook University professor Charles Wurster found himself at the forefront of the battle to stop DDT. His book, “DDT Wars: Rescuing Our National Bird, Preventing Cancer, and Creating the Environmental Defense Fund” (Oxford University Press, 2015), recounts the story from Wurster’s perspective in vivid detail, from his childhood to the establishment of the Environmental Defense Fund and beyond. I recently had the opportunity to interview the 86-year-old professor emeritus, now living in Maryland, by phone.
Were you always an animal lover? Yes, I think so. My parents weren’t much into wildlife, but they always showed excitement when they saw animals, so those were little encouragements for me. But from age 11 to 20, I spent every summer at a camp in the mountains of Pennsylvania — that put me in a natural environment and I learned bits and pieces about wildlife, especially birds, turtles and snakes. Later on, a high school teacher took a car full of students to Florida in the summer to learn about birds, which sparked my interest in a big way.
Do you remember when DDT was first used? I was teaching at Dartmouth in 1962 and went to a cocktail party for a birding friend, who said they were spraying Dutch elm trees with DDT [to eradicate Dutch elm disease]. She told me it was killing birds and she had dead birds in her yard. I signed a petition at the party to stop the use of DDT in the town, but the town fathers ignored it, saying they were being very careful.
What made you realize that DDT was harmful? When the town refused to stop using DDT, some of us decided to perform a study to see what happened. We compared bird populations before and after they sprayed the trees, and at first there were no dead birds. But within a few weeks, we began to find birds that were convulsing and then dying. At the time we had no knowledge of the [scientific] literature that was already published about DDT. Gradually, we began to catch up with it, and eventually we published a study in Science Magazine, which gave credibility to our work.
Above, Charles F. Wurster; right, the cover jacket of the author’s latest book.
Did you ever see yourself getting involved with the effort to ban DDT? I never dreamed I would get involved with such a thing. It was very incremental. I wanted to stop the use of DDT in Hanover [Massachusetts], and the effort succeeded by the next year. Eventually, I moved to Long Island, where I got involved in efforts there to stop the use of DDT. [In New York], they were focusing on its effects on ospreys, which were not reproducing properly and eating their own broken eggs. A group of us filed a lawsuit and were able to get an injunction in two weeks. That news was electrifying. It got us to start thinking bigger. In the fall of 1967, we incorporated the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), with the goal of bringing science into the courtroom. We hadn’t the remotest idea of what it would be at that time — we were just a group of 10 people with an idea.
What was it like to fight against the use of DDT? Did people listen or did they disregard you? At that time, much of the general public was becoming environmentally aware and involved, so they were generally favorable to us. Wherever we went, there were droves of birders and environmentalists rushing out to help, which was an excellent support. But the (pesticide) industry also began pushing back, even though they didn’t have the science to support their case. Several federal agencies tried to throw us out of court, but they failed.
What were you feeling? It was scary in a way, because we knew we could get shut down and the industry
was saying nasty things about us. But we believed it was the right thing to do. It’s like watching a football game — you’re cheering for the team, and you’re likely to lose, but you stay in the stands anyway because anything could happen. The EDF got to a point where we knew we were the ones that could [ban DDT], and we really wanted to win this thing, so we pushed forward.
What is the greatest lesson you learned from your experience?
Did your life change in any way afterward?
Why do you think your book is relevant today?
After the ban of DDT, I really started to focus on the development of EDF and various other environmental issues. I still sit on the board of trustees today.
One reason is because it’s just interesting — I intended it to read like a novel, even though it’s completely true. But it also gives a great case history for how a small group of people can make a difference. So much (in society) has changed, but that idea is still true. So many people have this hopeless feeling that they don’t matter and there’s nothing they can do, but this book sends the opposite message — if there’s something you feel strongly about, get out there and do something about it!
What made you want to write a book about this issue decades later? Within the past ten years, I started to realize that our story was being forgotten. Most people didn’t know how DDT was banned, and there was a lot of false information given in the media saying that Congress had banned it. That was so annoying to me — we purposely avoided Congress! And that same junk science presented about DDT was being used to influence the climate change issue. I started to get after several people I knew who I thought could write a book, but in the end, almost everyone who was actually there for the ban had died. I thought, “Gosh, I’d better do this.” But it was never a plan of mine.
I think it’s that one person can begin to make a difference, but you can’t always be a one-man band. The critical work and studies on DDT were done by so many different people, and we weren’t all present at every hearing. It was important for us to work together.
What can we do to aid in wildlife conservation efforts on Long Island? Find a group of people that share a common purpose that matters to you. Working as part of a team, you can escalate those issues and help to create big changes. “DDT Wars” is available online at www. barnesandnoble.com and www.Amazon.com.

HEALTH NEWS
Local committee launches innovative memory care program By Heidi Sutton Last Thursday evening was a night to remember, literally, as The Ward Melville Heritage Organization in Stony Brook hosted a fundraising dinner at its Cultural & Educational Center to introduce a new program for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients on Long Island and their caregivers, aptly titled Young at Heart. The dinner, which was catered by The Three Village Inn, attracted many health care professionals in the community who were eager to learn more about this exciting new initiative. Live music was provided by Rich Iacaona on piano, Keenan Zach on bass and Tom Manuel on trumpet. The 26-week-long series, set to begin in November, is a collaborative effort between The WMHO, Stony Brook Medicine, the Long Island State Veterans Home and The Jazz Loft along with sponsors Bristal Assisted Living and Aging Flower. The memory care enrichment program will feature music and memory, art, poetry and comedy. Programs will be held alternatively at The Jazz Loft and the Cultural & Educational Center. A facilitator who specializes in geriatrics and a certified nurse will be present at each program. Senator Kemp Hannon, chair of the Senate Health Committee, regarded nationally as an expert in the health care industry, helped kicked off the program and was honored for spearheading both the reauthorization of the Health Care Reform Act and the development of New York’s Assisted Living Program. “In our society there are causes that are popular and attract a great deal of support. [However] there are critical issues that are overlooked,” said Gloria Rocchio, president of The WMHO. “One of them is the reason we are here tonight — a disease affecting people of all ages — dementia and Alzheimer’s — which is not getting the support it should with the exception of Senator Kemp Hannon whose [Care Act] legislation brings positive steps in the right direction.” “You are doing something very special tonight,” said Hannon. “You’re focusing on a need and you’re doing it as a community. You’re forming a consciousness that I have not heard ever before for this big, big topic.” The senator received a recognition award from The WMHO for his compassionate leadership. Tom Manuel, founder and president of The Jazz Loft, said the initial vision for The Jazz Loft always included programs for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s and children with special needs. “I have seen firsthand how magical [music therapy can be].” Laura Landor Stiegelmaier, director of Education and Community Outreach at The Jazz Loft agreed, adding, “This is so important to us. We truly believe that we are setting an example for our community and our community at large for all that we can do for those who are suffering with dementia and Alzheimer’s.” Barbara Heaphy, recreation director at The Bristal Assisted Living in East Northport summed it up perfectly, saying “There’s such a need for this multifaceted program and the enrichment that it will offer people all over Long Island.”

Huntington If Stony Brook University has its way, the university will stand out not only for the quality of the research its graduate students produce but also for the way those budding scientists present, explain and interpret their results to the public and to policy makers. Pulling together faculty from numerous departments across the campus, Robert Harrison, the director of the Institute for Advanced Computational Science, created a program that will teach graduate students how to use big data sets to inform difficult decisions. The institute recently received a $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship for this effort, called Science Training & Research to Inform DEcisions, or STRIDE. The grant will be used for students in the departments of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Biomedical Informatics, Computer Science, Ecology and Evolution and the schools of Journalism and Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. “This is unique,” said Arie Kaufman, a distinguished professor and chair of the Department Computer Science at Stony Brook. “It’s a new kind of approach to training and adding value to Ph.D. students.” Indeed, the students who complete the STRIDE training will earn their doctorates and will also receive a certificate for their participation in this program. Students in the participating departments will need to apply for one of the 10 positions available in the program next year. The partners involved in this program expect it to expand to 30 students within five years. Kaufman said what enabled this collaboration was the range of skill sets across Stony Brook, including the Alan
Alda Center for Communicating Science, which is a growing program that already offers the type of training more typical for an actor studying improvisation techniques than for a scientist studying neurotransmitters or DNA. The Alda Center is “creating a new course,” said Christine O’Connell, an associate director at the center and assistant professor in the School of Journalism. She is currently working on developing the course description, which will include communicating to decision makers. O’Connell, who has a doctorate in marine and atmospheric sciences, sees her work with the Alda Center and with STRIDE as the “perfect combination in bringing the decision making piece to work with scientists to help them talk about their research.” Scientists who take courses at the Alda Center with STRIDE learn how to understand their audience through various role-playing scenarios. They will also develop their abilities to present their goals or messages in a visual way and not just talk about their work. Heather Lynch, an associate professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution who is also a co-principal investigator on the STRIDE grant, will help design the program, mentor students and develop courses. She’s been involved with this proposal since its inception, over three years ago. “In many ways,” she explained in an email, “my interest stems from my own difficulties communicating effectively with policy makers, and finding tools and visualizations that are compelling to a non-scientist.” Lynch recounted her frustration with presenting science to help a policy making body, such as a committee,

Front row, from left, Liliana Dávalos, Heather Lynch and Christine O’Connell; back row, from left, Robert Harrison, IACS director and STRIDE PI, Arie Kaufman, and Janet Nye with the kind of analysis she believed they were seeking. After she did her best to answer the question, the committee sometimes dismissed her work as not being what they wanted. “That’s frustrating because that means I failed at the outset to define the science question and that’s what I hope we can teach students to do better,” Lynch explained. Lynch said she wishes she had the training these students will be getting. For scientists, computers are an invaluable tool that can help delve into greater breadth and depth in analyzing, interpreting and collecting information. The STRIDE effort includes a greater awareness of the way computers can inform political or social science. Researchers generate “tremendous amounts of data that can be used to analyze trends or detect diseases,” Kaufman said. “The data science is tremendous in every discipline.” The faculty who are a part of this program said they have already benefited from the interactions they’ve had with each other as they’ve developed the curriculum. “I know a few people in Ecology and Evolution and I know more people in Marine Sciences, but these particular individuals were new to me,” said Kaufman. “We have already been communicating about ideas for how to use the Reality Deck for other projects.”
Completed in late 2012, the Reality Deck is a $2 million rectangular room in the Center of Excellence in Information Technology building. The room has hundreds of monitors that cover the wall from floor to ceiling and provides a way for researchers to study images in exquisite detail. Other scientists in the program include Liliano Dávalos, an associate professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution, Janet Nye, an assistant professor in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Joel Saltz, the founding chair of the Depatment of Biomedical Informatics, Erez Zadok, a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Mighua Zhang, a professor in the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. Lynch said the program will bring in people who are working on real-world problems, including those in government, industry and nongovernmental organizations who are “in a position to take science and use it for practical purposes.” As a part of the program, the scientists will monitor the progress of the STRIDE candidates, O’Connell said. The evaluations will check to see if “they become better communicators and better at interpreting their data for different audiences,” O’Connell said. “The evaluation piece built in will help us assess the program.”

Behind two goals from senior Amy Thompson, a goal and an assist from senior forward Raven Edwards and two assists from junior midfielder Christen Cahill, the Stony Brook women’s soccer team (4-7-2, 1-1 AE) defeated the Binghamton Bearcats (4-7-2, 0-1) 3-0 Oct. 2, to improve to 1-1 in league play. Thompson, making her first start of the season at center forward, gave the Seawolves a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute when she got her head on a cross from senior defender and midfielder Priscilla Wiggins. Edwards also recorded an assist on the play. Edwards made it 2-0 in the 26th minute. Junior defender Sydney Vaughn found her with a great diagonal pass, and Edwards used her pace to get in on goal and finish to the far post for her team-best fourth goal of the season. Cahill also notched an assist on the play. “We came out in the first half and were able to recognize where the space was,” Stony Brook head coach Brendan Faherty said. “We did a good job of getting into the
channels and getting behind their defense and we were able to finish our chances.” Thompson found the net for the match’s final goal in the 58th minute thanks to some unselfish play from sophomore forward Julie Johnstonbaugh. Cahill started the play with a wide pass to Johnstonbaugh. She walked in on goal before slotting to Thompson for the easy finish. Sophomore goalkeeper Cara Gallagher preserved the shutout with two big saves in the 73rd minute. The first save was made on the line and the second was from close range on a rebound attempt. With the win, she notched her fourth shutout in just seven starts. With her two assists, Cahill moved into a tie for the conference lead with five. Stony Brook dominated first half play, outshooting the Bearcats 13-5 at intermission. The Seawolves have outscored their opponents 6-0 in its last two home matches. Stony Brook stays at home with a pivotal conference match against the University of Vermont Oct. 6, at 7 p.m.
Stony Brook men’s soccer team falls to Vermont in OT The Stony Brook men’s soccer team (5-32, 0-1 AE) took a 1-0 lead into the final minute of regulation in its conference opener before giving up a 90th minute penalty kick and losing in overtime at the University at Vermont (9-2-1, 1-0), 2-1 Oct. 1. “Our performance today was outstanding,” Stony Brook head coach Ryan Anatol said. “We defended well, were dangerous in the attack, scored a great goal and managed the game really well after taking the lead.” Junior forward Vince Erdei struck for his fifth goal of the season to give the Seawolves a 1-0 lead in the 74th minute. Junior defender Danny Espinoza set up the goal with an accurate cross for his first assist of the season. The Stony Brook defense held strong until the final moments of the match. The referee awarded the Catamounts a penalty kick with 47 seconds remaining and Loftur Eriksson buried it to tie the match at 1-1. Vermont’s Brian Wright ended the match in the second overtime period when he redirected a cross into the Stony Brook goal for his seventh goal of the season. “Unfortunately, a penalty kick with 45 seconds left in the game changed the match and denied us three points,” Anatol said. “I am disappointed for the players that they didn’t get the reward today, but they are a resilient group and will be ready for our next opportunity.” Vermont held a 13-3 edge in shots over the final 60 minutes of action, finishing the
match with a 24-8 disparity in shots. Erdei, who has tallied four goals in his last three matches, paced Stony Brook with three shots and two shots on goal. Junior goalkeeper Tom McMahon made seven saves in defeat. Stony Brook held the top two scorers in the conference in Bernard Yeboah and Wright scoreless until Wright’s goal in the 106th minute. The Seawolves welcome the University of New Hampshire to LaValle Stadium Oct. 8, at 7 p.m.

Cover story
Follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Engeman
The month of October means that the classic tale of the “Wizard of Oz” is back on the Engeman’s stage in Northport. Presented every year at this time with the support of the Bethpage Federal Credit Union, the beloved children’s theater musical only gets better with age. Suzanne Mason, who played the Wicked Witch of the West in last year’s production, sits in the director’s chair this time and leads an adult cast of eight through an hour and half of pure “joy and rapture.” Based on the children’s books by L. Frank Baum, “The Wizard of Oz” tells the story of young Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, who are swept out of Kansas by a tornado and transported over the rainbow to a magical land of munchkins, witches and ruby slippers. Engeman’s “Wizard” gives us an abridged version of the classic tale (no poppies here) but tackles it with such enthusiasm that will make audiences fall in love with Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, Tin Man and Scarecrow all over again. Kate Keating reprises her role as Dorothy Gale and treats the audience to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in the very beginning of the show. Keating’s enthusiastic performance is truly wonderful and at times she sounds just like a young Judy Garland. Jackie Hughes tackles the role of Scarecrow with ease, wobbly legs and all, giving us a sweet rendition of “If I Only Had

the cast of ‘the Wizard of oz’ at the John W. engeman theater invites you over the rainbow. a Brain,” and Danny Meglio is a terrific Tin Man on a quest to get a heart. Samm Carroll plays the dual role of meanies Ms. Gulch and the Wicked Witch of the West with just the right amount of grouchiness. However, it is Andrew McCluskey as Cowardly Lion who steals the show. In pure comedic form, he delivers a performance that would make Bert Lahr proud. Stephanie Krasner in the role of Nico the Monkey Bat, Joshua Cahn as the Wiz-
ard and Courtney Fekete as Glinda round out the supporting cast and do a fine job. A nice touch is the constant interaction between the actors and the audience. During the frequent set changes, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man walk through the aisles asking the children which way they should go to see the Wizard. Even the Wicked Witch suddenly appears from around the corner, causing many young audience members to jump out of their seats.
Designed by Jess Costagliola, the costumes are exactly what one would expect, from Dorothy’s iconic blue gingham dress to Glinda’s beautiful pink gown. That is until the munchkins come out and mix things up a bit. With giant hats and big googly eyes, their rendition of “Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead!” is hilarious. Wings flap on Nico the Monkey Bat and wait until you see the Wizard! With familiar music, lots of humor and not-too-scary special effects, this “Wizard of Oz” is the perfect show with which to introduce a young child to live theater. So turn off the televisions, iPads and cell phones and start your journey down the Yellow Brick Road as soon as you can — this production is not to be missed. Meet the cast in the lobby after the show for photos and autographs. (An autograph page is conveniently located at the back of the program.) Running time is 90 minutes with one 15-minute intermission. The John W. Engeman Theater, 250 Main St., Northport will present “The Wizard of Oz” through Nov. 6 followed by a holiday favorite, “Frosty,” from Nov. 26 to Dec. 31. All tickets are $15. To order, call 631-261-2900 or visit www. engemantheater.com.

Just in time for Halloween, Theatre Three brings us “Pumpkin Patch Magic” or “If at First You Don’t Succeed,” a spooktacular musical for young children that is as sweet as a Kit Kat bar. Written over 20 years ago, the play has emerged from the shadows with a complete makeover and returned to the stage last Saturday. With fresh new lyrics and music by Jules Cohen, wonderful direction by Jeffrey Sanzel, a brilliant script chock full of rhyme, and a cast that is top notch, this show is sure to become an annual tradition. It’s October in the Land of Halloween and everyone has certain chores in order for pumpkins to end up in pumpkin patches all over the world. The gnomes, known for their homegrown gnome poems, have to grow the pumpkins, the witches have to fly the pumpkins to the patch, the ghosts have to place the pumpkins in the patch without being seen and the rulers of the land have to make sure everything runs smoothly. Fairy Loquacious Chattelot, played by Jessica Contino, serves as narrator and introduces the audience to four citizens of the Land of Halloween who are trying to help but can’t. Norman Gnome (Steven Uihlein) has trouble growing a pumpkin — during one attempt he ends up growing a head of lettuce! “I’m all thumbs and none of them are green,” he laments. His fellow gnomes, Nemo (Kyle Breitenbach) and Nathan (Dylan Poulos) feel Norman is useless and in the way. Ermengarde Broomwellsweepalot (Emily Gates), the witch, doesn’t know how to fly so is tasked by her fellow witch Ethel Broomwellsweepalot (Zoe Dunmire) with taking care of all the other chores including painting broom handles.
Graham Ghost (Jason Furnari) can’t seem to turn himself invisible — his conversations with Harvey the invisible ghost are hilarious! — and Princess Pumpkin (Melanie Acampora) is a nervous mess who has trouble making decisions and therefore can’t rule the Queendom, much to the dismay of her mother Queen Honoria (Ginger Dalton). Tensions run high. Will the Fairy Loquacious Chattelot help them with some good advice? Or will her advice backfire? Will the children find pumpkins in the pumpkin patch to decorate or will Halloween be ruined? The musical numbers, with their jazzy undertones, are the heart of the show. From the opening number, “It’s Halloween!” by the whole company, to the clever “I’m All Thumbs,” sung by the gnomes, to Graham Ghost’s solo, “I’m Gettin’ Out [Moving to a Ghost Town],” each song, accompanied on piano by Steve McCoy, is better than the next. Costumes by Teresa Matteson are another highlight of the production with noticeable effort and attention to detail. Choreography by Sari Feldman is fun and hip, especially during “Not Easy Being Me.” Children are encouraged to come to the show in their Halloween costumes. Meet the cast in the lobby after the show for photo-ops. Running time is 90 minutes with one 15-minute intermission. Theatre Three, 412 Man St., Port Jefferson will present “Pumpkin Patch Magic” through Oct. 29. A special sensory-sensitive performance is scheduled for Oct. 9 where the house lights will remain on throughout the performance and children may move around the theater. Next up is the 13th anniversary of “Barnaby Saves Christmas” from Nov. 25 to Dec. 30 (sensory-sensitive performance on Nov. 27.) All tickets are $10.

one on one
with MIKE MEOLA What’s your all-time favorite room at Darkside?
By Kevin Redding For Mike Meola, owner of Darkside Productions’ Haunted House in Wading River, summer begins and ends in June. After that, he’s in full Halloween mode. While others are at the beach in July and August, Meola surrounds himself with hanging scarecrows and skeletons, working tirelessly every year since 1998 to build the props, animatronics and elaborate, horror movie-quality sets that turn a vacant potato barn and a quiet stretch of fields on Route 25A into one of the most popular and visited haunted attractions in the country throughout October. The North Shore native and full-time carpenter lives and breathes the spooky season, and his passion for scaring — and entertaining — people of all ages has brought a lot of attention to Darkside, which was recently featured on Buzzfeed’s list of “25 Haunted Houses Across America That Will Scare the Crap Out of You.” What started out as a mere love of Halloween and horror as a kid has escalated to a booming family business that has now entered its 19th season.
One of the greatest things we’ve ever had was called “the falling wall.” We had this giant wall that came down right at you. It was just so unexpected, ya know? You walk in, and expect an actor or something, you never expect this 12-foot wall to come crashing down at you. That was a really cool effect and one of those things people still talk about. The fire marshall the other day was like “You have to bring that back! That was such a killer room!”
How many people do you hire every year? During the season, we have about 40 [scare] actors. A lot of our actors come back every year, but we do interviews and auditions. We teach them how to be professional actors. They can work in any haunted house anywhere in the United States after working here. We teach them everything they need to know about timing, reading people, quick improvisation ... we really try to personalize the show for each group that comes through. If we catch your name or something that you said, we’ll have a response. The actors have to be quick, have to pay attention, and it’s hard work. It’s physical activity, you jump and you move and you run. A lot of people don’t expect that.
What got you interested in haunts? I’ve been doing this since I was a kid. I used to build these haunted walk-throughs in my basement. I love Halloween, I always have. And back when I was growing up, there was no Spirit Halloween or anything so you had to make your costume and scour all different places to find what you wanted to use to build your costume. You would think way in advance, because you couldn’t just walk in the store and get it. After Halloween, I was already starting to think “what do I wanna be next year?” and went to clearance sales and any place where you can find a mask or something, and then run around for the rest. So it just really came from a love of Halloween.
What were your favorite horror movies growing up? I liked all the killer movies — “Halloween,” “Friday the 13th,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” I thought Freddy was great for his interactions; most of the other ones didn’t speak or anything, but Freddy had really cool wise-ass phrases to say to everybody. The movie that scared me though when I was a kid was “The Exorcist.” That movie was terrifying. A killer getting shot a hundred times, getting up, getting burned, getting blown up, coming back isn’t scary to me. But the supernatural, that is scary.
What sets Darkside apart from other haunted attractions? We’re a stand-alone haunt. We’re not a building that becomes a haunted house just for October. So when you get here, the moment you get out of the car, you’re in your own horror film. We’re in this deserted place in Wading River, so as soon as you exit the safety of your car, you get that sense of “Oh my God, I am in for a completely different experience!” because everything around
Mike Meola

you is haunted and in that foreboding atmosphere. We don’t curse at you, we don’t grab you, we don’t touch you, we don’t do any of these “extreme” type things ... because we don’t have to do that to scare you. We’re really good at setting up our scares, we’re really good at setting the scene and decorating, and our actors are phenomenal. Everything looks real! Once you enter the gates, you are in our world. The outside world completely ceases. And you won’t find a lot of off-the-shelf stuff here, because we build almost everything. It’s atmosphere. You have to have a great set, great lighting, great sound to build that tension. And the biggest challenge is creating this completely terrifying environment in the most safe environment [people] are in. They’re completely safe and yet they feel like they’re in imminent danger at all times.
Why do you think people love to be scared?
How much work goes into Darkside each year?
Has the haunt more or less stayed the same over the years?
People don’t realize the tremendous amount of work that goes into building an event like this. They think that it’s here, and little elves come and set it all up for me and I just come and open the door. Haunting is hard, hard work. We have to do repairs and maintenance, and come up with new room designs, build them. You’re doing that until the moment you open. On Friday at 6:59 p.m., there’s something I’m fixing or setting up before those doors open at 7. You’re never done.
No, we change it every year. We’ve change the house completely in the last five years. We constantly change, add things, move things around, because we want to keep you guessing. If you came last year, we want to show you something different this year. Every year we say “how are we gonna top this show? There’s no way we’re gonna top this” and then every year we come up with something and add to that show, and it just makes it so much better.
It’s exactly the same as riding a roller coaster. You know you’re safe, you know you’re strapped in and yet when you start going up and down and all over, you feel like you shouldn’t be there. It’s the same with a haunted house. It’s that adrenaline rush. It takes about 25 minutes to go through this place. Roller coaster rides are like two minutes long, but they feel like they’re five seconds. It’s the same thing here. People are screaming “I wanna get out! Is this over yet?!” and then they get out, and they’re so disappointed that it’s over. Even though they just want to get out, they don’t want it to end. I call it “vacation let down” the minute the door opens and they’re outside and safe.
How involved is your family? We’re as grass roots as you can get. All my kids, my fiance, my mom, and my sister work here. My brother used to work here before he moved. It’s been a family business ever since we started. My son is an actor here but he also helps me build and set up, my daughter was an actor here but now she’s running our concession, my mom does tickets, my sister does the daytime show tickets, my other daughter is an actor here. Kathy, my fiance, is a manager. It’s great, it brings us all together. I’m surrounded by family and if they weren’t working here, I’d never see them in October!
What age group seems to enjoy Darkside the most? I’d say our biggest fan base is older. We do get a lot of teenagers, but we have a lot of older people who love Halloween and love haunted houses. They know that this is a great show and if they’re coming to one, they’re coming here. You would think that it would be all teenage girls, but it’s not. It’s really a lot of 25 to 35, 35 to 40-year-olds. It’s an older crowd, which is cool because we’re scaring them! To me, a kid is an easy scare. I want to scare adults! Darkside Haunted House, 5184 Route 25A, Wading River is open through Oct. 31. Tickets are available at the door or online at www.darksideproductions.com or at www.ScreamLI.com.
