SHARING THE BEST IDEAS IN MEDICINE WITH YOU

What You Should Know About Epilepsy and Seizures Epilepsy and seizures affect more than three million Americans, with about 200,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Rebecca Spiegel, MD, a neurologist and Director, along with David A. Chesler, MD, PhD, a neurological surgeon, both at the Epilepsy Center, explain how when properly diagnosed and treated, most people with epilepsy can expect to get their seizures under control.

What is the difference between a seizure and epilepsy? Dr. Chesler: Seizures happen when your nerve cells fire more rapidly and with less control than usual, affecting how a person feels or acts. These range from a brief lapse of conscious activity to a full loss of consciousness with the potential for falling, shaking and difficulty breathing. Epilepsy refers to a brain disorder resulting in multiple seizures.

Does having a seizure mean you have epilepsy? Dr. Spiegel: No, seizures are not always related to epilepsy. They can be a symptom of a disruption of brain function, such as from a high fever, a head injury or lack of oxygen. Ten percent of Americans will experience a seizure at least once in their lifetime, with the highest incidence occurring under the age of two and over the age of 65.

What causes epilepsy? Dr. Spiegel: Epilepsy may be related to genetic factors, structural abnormalities of the brain or brain metabolism, and can begin in infancy and childhood. It can also occur during the course of one’s life due to infection of the brain, trauma, tumors or stroke. Sometimes, no clear cause is found on initial testing, and the neurologist has to look further.

How is epilepsy treated? Dr. Spiegel: For most patients, antiepilepsy drugs are helpful in controlling the seizures while minimizing medication side effects. There are three new antiepileptic drugs available: PotigaTM (ezogabine), EycompaTM (perampanel) and AptiomTM (eslicarbazepine). Diet can also be a treatment for some, specifically the ketogenic diet or a modified Atkins diet. The diets should be prescribed by a physician and carefully monitored by a dietitian. Dr. Chesler: When anti-epilepsy medications and dietary modifications fail, surgery may be recommended for patients whose seizures are associated with structural brain abnormalities, such as brain tumors, malformations of blood vessels and damage related to strokes. There are basically three types of seizure surgery — the surgical removal (resection) of the lesion that is causing the seizure, ablation (using heat or ultrasound energy to burn out the lesion), and electronic modulation that delivers current to the brain before a seizure happens to control or reduce the seizure’s effect.

What is the success rate for controlling epilepsy? Dr. Spiegel: Most people with epilepsy do very well when properly diagnosed and treated. Nationally, two out of three people with epilepsy can be expected to enter remission; that is, five or more years free of seizures while using medication.

services and technology that our Epilepsy Center offers. This includes access to positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI), which is sometimes used to detect brain lesions that may not have been detected previously. Seizures and epilepsy can involve and affect multiple body systems, and having a team of specialists that is readily available helps achieve more effective treatment plans. Our team includes renowned epileptologists, pediatric neurologists, neuropsychologists, radiologists, and of course neurosurgeons like Dr. Chesler, who are experts in the latest surgical techniques for epilepsy. Dr. Chesler: All of the surgeries I mentioned earlier — resection, ablation and electronic modulation — can be performed at Stony Brook. We generally recommend these options only when other types of treatment have failed. Dr. Spiegel: Our center also features a six-bed dedicated video-EEG epilepsy monitoring unit with 24/7 observation staff and a portable video-EEG epilepsy monitoring system. The portable system can be set up anywhere in the hospital for patients who may be experiencing possible seizures. As part of an academic medical center, we also have access to research, including clinical trials of new treatments. And our patients and their families benefit from our support and education services, which include a nurse practitioner and a support group that is co-run by one of our physicians and a social worker from the Epilepsy Foundation.

What distinguishes Stony Brook’s approach? Dr. Spiegel: Patients who have persistent, recurrent seizures or those with an unconfirmed seizure diagnosis can benefit from the advanced

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

Closing in on the fountain of youth 50 percent of the aging process can be attributed to environment

What is an aging accelerator?

Sedentary activity, an oxymoronic term, can lead to weight gain and chronic diseases, so it’s no surprise that this can also lead to a shorter life span. In a recent study, those who spent more sedentary leisure time on screen-based activities were more likely to have reduced telomere length (2). Telomeres are repetitive sequences of DNA found at the ends of our DNA. They are similar to caps on the ends of shoelaces; they prevent our DNA from fraying. When telomere length is reduced, it can result in premature aging. In this study, for every sedentary hour, there was a 7 percent chance of significant reduction in leukocyte (white blood cell) telomere length. According to the authors, shortened telomere length has been associated with increase morbidity (disease) and mortality.

What is a consequence of premature biological aging?

By DaviD Dunaief, M.D.

Let’s start with a quiz. How often do you need to lift weights to benefit your brain? a) 5 times per week b) 3 times per week c) 2 times per week d) 1 time per week When we think about aging, chronological age comes to mind first. For many, the perceived ideal age is around 25. My wife refers to her birthday every year as the “X anniversary of her 25th birthday.” After 40, we are on the downslide, right? Not so fast. Age may be more than the ticking of the clock; it is less about time and more about telomere length, brain volume and heart age, or what we call “biological age.” We may be too obsessed with chronological age, when we should be focused on biological age and how we can alter it for the better. By the way, the answer to the quiz is (c). According to a recent study, we need to lift weights twice a week to see a potential beneficial effect on the brain. I will discuss this further. In another study, results demonstrate that aging may be based primarily on environment and secondarily on your genes, 50 percent and 25 percent, respectively (1). This study used identical twins and fraternal twins in Scandinavian countries. Frankly, I did not realize just how much of an impact environment has on aging. Gene influence does increase after the age of 60, though. Since much of aging is based on environment, it means that there are risk factors that can accelerate the aging process and other factors that may slow it down.

One of the most feared diseases as we age is dementia, specifically Alzheimer’s dementia. In a study, a shortened telomere length was associated with a greater than one-third increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (3). This study suggests that shortened telomere length is not just a biomarker; it may be involved in the actual cause of Alzheimer’s. The authors warn that there is no clear method to measure telomere length and to be wary of any company that offers this service.

What is the significance of heart age?

According to a CDC study, heart age may actually matter more than chronological age (4). Heart age is defined here as the cardiovascular risk profile that determines one’s vascular (arteries and veins) health. Researchers used the Framingham Risk Score calculator to evaluate biological age based on heart health. The score predicts the 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease. A higher score results in increased risk and accelerated biological age, while a lower score results in a lower risk and lower biological age than actual age. This scoring calculator uses age, BMI, systolic (top number) blood pressure, sex and whether you are treated with drugs for high blood pressure and diabetes. The calculator is here: http://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/cardiovasculardisease/heartage.html. Systolic blood pressure seems to have the most effect, with a systolic blood pressure of 125 mmHg resulting in a neutral effect. Only about 30 percent of patients have a heart age equal or below their actual age, with the mean biological age 7.8 years above actual age for men and 5.4 years above for women. Unfortunately, this calculator does not take into account lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise.

So what are the effects of diet and exercise?

tain of youth. We may have found a modified fountain in the form of cardiovascular exercise, weight lifting and the Mediterranean-type diet. These are factors that may make your biological age significantly lower than your actual age.

Don’t resist resistance training

We are not talking about lifting heavy weights, but rather the frequency of light weight lifting. In a recent study, lifting weights two times a week had a significantly better effect on the number of white matter lesions in the brain and on gait speed than lifting one time a week or less (5). White matter helps the brain make connections, carrying information from one part of the brain to another. Lesions may impede this process. This was a well-designed, though small, one-year, randomized controlled trial, the gold standard of studies, with 155 female participants. Patients were divided into three groups: light upper and lower body weight lifting twice a week, the same regimen once a week, or a stretching and balance regimen.

How can exercise elongate cell life?

In another study, exercise appeared to prevent or reduce the risk of shortened telomeres. Telomeres are important for protecting the DNA and, ultimately, the cell (6). There were four different categories of exercises surveyed. If respondents said yes to each category, there was an exponentially greater chance that they would not have very short telomeres. The categories included walking, running, walking/ riding a bike to work or school, and weight lifting. If a participant was involved in one category in the previous month, there was a 3 percent reduced risk of shorter telomeres, whereas participants who were involved in all four categories had a 59 percent reduced risk of having very short telomeres. This greatest impact was seen in adults between ages 40 and 65.

How about diet?

In the WHICAP study, better compliance with a Mediterranean-type diet slowed the process of brain atrophy (7). According to the researchers, this was equivalent to a five-year reduction in biological age. There were nine components to the diet. The most interesting part was that increased fish and decreased meat consumption was most beneficial. What does increased fish intake mean? It is less than you would think — three to five ounces a week total. The components in fish that may contribute to this positive effect are omega 3 fatty acids, B vitamins, vitamin C and astaxanthin, a carotenoid. This study involved 674 elderly adults who lived in New York City. The researchers measured brain volume by MRI. Though it was not studied, the authors note that brain atrophy is associated with cognitive decline. So avoiding or slowing brain atrophy should be an imperative. The moral of the story for aging: Try not to obsess over something that you can’t change, your chronological age. Instead, focus your energies on biological age, which is more pliable and may respond to lifestyle modifications.

film

The unique story of an Irish Jewish Holocaust survivor SCCC hosts long island documentary premiere By Donna newman

The documentary “Close to Evil” is the result of a collaboration between Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental and filmmaker Gerry Gregg. It was screened at Suffolk County Community College’s Ammerman Campus on Oct. 29 for an audience of more than 400, including Honors College students as well as interested Long Islanders. The film was viewed in rapt silence and followed by a penetrating Q-and-A. Steven Klipstein, assistant director of the Suffolk Center on the Holocaust, Diversity and Human Understanding, introduced the program, making reference to the Holocaust Museum on the top floor of the campus library that documents the ultimate sadism of that historic event. “It’s a miracle that any of these people survived,” he said. “I hope you get something out of seeing [this film].” By coincidence, the screening was 71 years to the day after 9-year-old Tomi found himself, along with family members, on a transport heading from his village to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. They had spent two years in hiding in their native Bratislava (now the capital of Slovakia) avoiding capture. Tomi survived long enough to be liberated in April 1945. After the war he attempted to return “home” only to find all traces of his former life in Bratislava gone. Initially he immigrated to Israel before heading to Ireland, where he has lived ever since. In Ireland he started a business, fell in love, married and raised three sons. “I never spoke of it [his wartime experiences] for 55 years,” said Reichental, “I couldn’t.” He never even told his wife. In 2003 he realized he had a responsibility to those who perished — including 35 members of his family — as one of the last living survivors, to speak out. He now speaks to student groups across Ireland to relate his experience and his eyewitness testimony about the inhumanity of Hitler’s Final Solution. In 2012 he participated in a radio broadcast that brought his story to the attention of a neighbor of former BergenBelsen prison guard Hilde Lisiewitz Michnia in Hanover, Germany. The neighbor contacted Reichental to tell him about the 93-year-old widow. As originally scripted, the documentary was meant to focus on a possible meeting between Reichental and Michnia. “I have an opportunity to meet this woman,” said Reichental to Gregg. “It would make history [for us] to go together.” He expected, in his naiveté, that Michnia was a victim of her time. Obviously, she must have been brainwashed;

indoctrinated with Nazi propaganda. He thought she would show some remorse. And reconciliation was all he wanted. As shooting progressed, the story took on a life of its own. “There were twists and turns,” said Gregg, “things

we didn’t see coming. There’s even a Hollywood ending. We didn’t know any of that would happen.” The surprises include: the awarding of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, its highest honor, to Tomi

Reichental, and an unexpected alliance between Reichental and Alexandra Senfft, a granddaughter of Hanns Ludin, Hitler’s ambassador to the Slovak Republic — the man responsible for the deportation (leading to extermination) of more than 60,000 Slovakian Jews. Gregg said they hope to find a distributor for this unique film, so it can be seen throughout the United States. The two men have made two tours of America so far to present the film to select audiences. Thursday’s showing was co-sponsored by the SCCC Honors College, the Suffolk Center on the Holocaust, Diversity and Human Understanding and the Ammerman Campus office of Campus Activities and Student Leadership Development. The Suffolk Center on the Holocaust, Diversity and Human Understanding, located on the second floor of the Huntington Library on the campus of Suffolk County Community College, 533 College Road, Selden, maintains significant collections of original materials that document the Holocaust and chronicle slavery in America. CHDHU’s mission is to educate the community on historical events and to promote cultural understanding and respect for human dignity. The center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and by appointment. For further information, please call 631451-4700 or visit www.chdhu.org.

Port Jefferson Village’s Go Green event returns for its eighth year on Saturday, Nov. 7, from noon to 4 p.m. at the Port Jefferson Village Center overlooking the harbor. Awareness of the urgency for environmental action inspired the development of this free event eight years ago through the Humanities Institute at Stony Brook University, then directed by Dr. E. Ann Kaplan. John Lutterbie worked with co-chair Naomi Solo to get things started. With 100 percent cooperation of the Port Jefferson Village government, Go Green has now become an annual event. It is with great pride that we salute the youth of our local schools at the event this year, who have led the way in green projects. Students at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School, led by Kari Costanza and Tom Meehan, have initiated a Repurpose and Recycle fashion show, have initiated a school cafeteria waste audit leading to district-wide recycling, have raised earthworms for the school garden and have established a lovely native plant garden to attract birds. The students have had many “Green Team” meetings with exciting guest speakers including Sue Avery from the Long Island Native Plant Initiative (LINPI). Currently, they are working on a bottle cap drive titled Caps for Love to raise funds for more projects. The students at Port Jefferson Middle School, led by Peter Burawa, have participated in the Siemen’s “We can change the world” 2012 challenge, which addressed many environmental issues in the community. They have promoted using safe fertilizers and campaigned to stop people from dumping in the storm water drains of our Village. Titled The Grate Project, the winning slogan was “Only rain down the drain.” They continue to participate in beach cleanups, choosing the slogan “This beach is not your ashtray” after collecting and categorizing debris and work for proper disposal of food wrappers with signs posted at our local eateries. Visit their bake sale table at the event.

Earl L. Vandermeulen High School, working with The Long Island Seaport and Eco Center (LISEC), provide crucial support for the Environmental Club led by teachers Dawn Moody and Jon Muletta. They have instituted conservation projects by constructing birdhouses, selling Clean Canteens and doing away with plastic water bottles in the school. In addition they are fostering many recycling projects and beach cleanups. The students are undertaking research on harbor cleanliness and health of our local sea life, have fostered organic landscaping and native plant gardens and have made “Onya’s reusable shopping bags.” In May of this year they sponsored the Green & Clean fair. Many additional recycling and eco-friendly projects are underway, with fundraising to support the environment. Drop off small handheld electronics at their booth during the event for recycling. On the morning of Nov. 7, before the fair, you can witness a new initiative involving our schools when Village Gardener Caran Markson joins with Lauren Hubbard of the Maritime Explorium, the Long Island Native Plant Initiative and many school volunteers to spread mulch for a new garden project at the triangle plot near the middle school building. This work is preparation for a spring planting of indigenous flowers. These are inspiring examples of a community working together. In celebration of these remarkable achievements, Mayor Margot Garant along with village trustees will issue proclamations to each school at 2 p.m. during the Go Green fair. This will be followed by performances by the elementary school’s Select Choir led by music teacher Jessica Pastor. In addition to the schools, LISEC, LINPI, the Maritime Explorium and other groups will be present. Our Port Jefferson Free Library will have special fun projects for the children to create. Last but not least, do not forget the now famous “Green Elephant” table organized by Barbara Haegele. Bring your gently used items (no clothes, books or electronics please) and donate them to the table where you may take any items for free in yet another example of recycling. The Port Jefferson Village Center is located at 101A E. Broadway, Port Jefferson. For further information, call 631-473-3549 or 631-802-2160.

Local library to host American roots artist Marc Berger By Stacy Santini

Mocha buttes rising upward from the soil, vistas framing breathtaking views of distant snow-capped mountains, Indian-traveled sandstone underfoot, rock formations resembling Donatello sculptures, rushing rivers and sienna sunsets; visually, there is no place comparable to the American West. It is hard to imagine that beauty such as this can be as relevant cinematically in song and just song alone, but lyric-ace Marc Berger has managed to capture this imagery with his album RIDE and will be sharing it with the community at a free concert at North Shore Public Library in Shoreham on Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. Berger’s relationship with the West began while studying law at Rutgers University. When he was 21, he embarked on a cross country journey that would alter his life and career path for ever. Berger describes this catharsis, “Probably because I grew up in the Northeast, I had a strong desire to go out West when I travelled, and the effect it had on me was staggering. I explored the Mojave Desert, Yosemite, all of it, and I Marc Berger came home transformed.

Havens recorded Berger’s song “The Last One” in 1982 and it received much attention. It was not long before Berger realized that if he wanted to truly make a contribution to the culture he was living in, he needed to sing. “After Richie did my song, I got to thinking about how singing my own lyrics would be the only true expression of myself, and so I willed myself to sing and perfect my voice,” says Berger. Berger’s roots run deep within the music industry. He has opened for Bob Dylan and other equally impressive bands and musicians. Collaborating with him on his next album, starting in December, will be world class instrumentalists such as Tony Garnier, bass player for Bob Dylan and Paul Simon; Joe Flood, mandolin and fiddler for Levon Helm; and Eric Ambel, guitarist for Joan Jett. Garnier can also be heard on several tracks on RIDE.

you to actually see the great American West, be there present in it,” he said. With songs such as “Montana,” “Nobody Gonna Ride on the Railroad” and

“Heavenly Ancients,” Berger accomplishes just that. Accompanying Marc next weekend on bass is Rich DePaolo, an extraordinary talent himself. “It is Marc’s vision for sure. I have been working with him for over fifteen years. He is very focused as an artist and clear as to how he wants his vision realized. It is a jot to be a part of this,” he said in describing the collaboration. North Shore Public Library is a venue that never disappoints when it comes to its concert series. “I am a fan of the American West. Marc’s song, ‘Heavenly Ancients’ on RIDE brought me back to being on the desert floor and glaring up at the sky. His music really captured the awe of the landscape,” said librarian Lorena Doherty. “I have been doing adult programs here for some time now, bringing in multicultural programs and classical music. Having Marc Berger come here is unique and different. It is very exciting as I am finding that independent musicians have great appeal. We had an amazing turnout for ‘Miles to Dayton’ and I expect the same for Marc,” she added. North Shore Public Library is located at 250 Route 25A in Shoreham.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-Nan ‘Good heavens, child! you can’t go in that!’ By EllEn BarcEl

Coming off the Spirit Tour in Setauket and Halloween, Nancy Altman “Nan” Guzzetta is preparing for the Dickens Festival in Port Jefferson — preparing costumes that is. As owner of Antique Costumes and Props By Nan in Port Jefferson, she provides high-end costumes for a wide variety of events including entire shows, themed weddings, historic anniversary celebrations and a whole lot more. Upcoming events for which Guzzetta will provide costumes include “The Music Man” in East Northport and the Santa Parade and Santa’s Workshop in Port Jefferson to name just a few. Guzzetta’s attention is to detail, historical accuracy being her strong suit. “We don’t do Disney or Star Wars,” but Henry the VIII, that’s another story, or Gatsby, Titanic or Downton Abbey inspired pieces. “I work with museums a lot, for their galas.” When the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook opened its recent Gilded Coast exhibit, “I costumed people for the gala.” And, she added, “Oheka Castle has a big garden party every year. I costume for that.” The Dickens Festival honoree was “costumed yesterday,” she added. And “we did the 350th anniversary of Smithtown ... we did a descendent of Bull Smith.” Richard “Bull” Smith is said to have drawn up the boundaries of Smithtown in the 1600s when he rode a bull around a tract of land.

Other costumes available include classic movie stars, ancient Egyptian and Roman outfits and even Marie Antoinette. She also provides all sorts of accessories such as fencing foils for the Musketeers, art deco jewelry to go with early 20th century ball gowns and fancy hats to complete an ensemble. She even provides hat pins to hold the elegant head pieces in place. Antique Costumes is located in a historic Civil War era house, the Captain Henry Hallock house. Hallock was a Port Jefferson sea captain and shipbuilder. The house is sometimes referred to as the Chambers Mansion as it was later owned by Dr. Martin Luther Chambers. The mansion was also the home at one time of the Moose Lodge and the Slavic Cultural Center. The mansion has a fascinating history all its own. In the 1970s the English band Foghat recorded a number of its gold records there. Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen also produced recordings at the mansion. Guzzetta added that it was one of the foremost recording studios in the Northeast at the time. The building also has a stage where live productions were once held. Costumes in the mansion are arranged by theme: the children’s room, the Downton Abbey rooms, the wedding room, the red carpet room, the Renaissance room, etc. Tucked between costumes is a door leading to Guzzetta’s personal research library. And through the passage way is the theater.

Filled with energy and a fount of knowledge, Guzzetta said, “Isn’t this fun?” as she showed one room after another filled with costumes. Many of the events she costumes for will hold prizes for the best costume, Guzzetta said. “I can boast that we have more prize winners than any other.” She added that a man recently rented a Christopher Columbus costume. He was asked to lead, not only one or two, but six different Columbus Day parades. “He’s sending us pictures.” But, she also added that “We’re the best kept secret,” around. Why? Because many people don’t like to share their secret. They want people to think that they make their own elegant and historically accurate outfits. When asked how things have changed over these 40 years that she’s been in business, she noted that “It’s changed dramatically.” There are fewer themed weddings, for example, but there are many more historic celebrations, like a 100th anniversary celebration in Cold Spring Harbor last year. She recently designed a costume for a book on Nikola Tesla, the 19th century Serbian-American inventor whose Shoreham, Wardenclyffe, laboratory is currently under restoration. Guzzetta added that with the Internet, her business now is not only local but national and even international. People sometimes rent here and bring the costumes to “Venice for Carnival or New Orleans for Mardi Gras.” She accommodates magazine and greeting card shoots, as well as commercials. She even rents vintage furniture. When asked when is her biggest season, Guzzetta observed that the need for her high-end costumes is really spread throughout the year. In planning large events people contact her “well in advance,” but “Halloween is frequently last minute.” But Halloween is not just for kids. More and more adults are attend-

ing masquerade balls and parties where costumes are a must. Not only does Guzzetta have costumes, ready to be rented, but “we built them,” as well. “Over the years we’ve collected many vintage items ... we rarely rent out the vintage ones,” now, but use them as models for new pieces. “I collect the best of every period and rent it.” How does she deal with all the different sizes and shapes of her clientele? In some cases, she has several different sizes of a particular costume. In others she will alter them to fit. “All alterations are done here at no extra charge.” In other cases, she does what many theater productions do: There’s a slit in the back and the costume is laced up to fit the wearer. And, if she’s “building” a new costume, she has the renter’s measurements. Usual rental for individuals (it varies for theater productions) is three days, one to pick up the costume, one for its use and one to return it. “We do teas and tours here,” too. The tea service can include a tour of the restored mansion or a tour and lecture, the group’s choice. How did Guzzetta, who was a registered nurse, develop such a unique business? A lover of art and history, she opened an antique shop in Port Jefferson acquiring some costumes. But, “when I couldn’t get any more vintage costumes, I began renting (rather than selling) them and then making copies.” But for her, it’s not really work at all. “It’s a joy to come in every day.” Antiques Costumes and Props by Nan is located at 709 Main Street, Port Jefferson (parking off Jones Avenue). Call 631-331-2261 or go to www. antiquescostumes.com. The business is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays by appointment only and weekends in special circumstances.

Weeping willow trees are beautiful, graceful deciduous trees.

Why does the willow tree weep?

By EllEn BarcEl

Many years ago, I had two absolutely beautiful weeping willow (Salix babylonica) trees. They easily topped my two story house, and then some. I really enjoyed walking underneath the branches, looking out at the world, sort of like looking out through a light green curtain. And they provided beautiful shade. Then, a really nasty hurricane came along. Down went the first and then the second tree. This happened when other trees — maple, oak and pine — all survived. What happened? The answer is that weeping willow trees (natives of Asia) are very shallow rooted. When the wind really picked up, the roots couldn’t hold the trees in the wet soil, so down they went. And mine weren’t the only ones I saw down. Does that mean that you shouldn’t plant weeping willow trees? Not necessarily. If you have an area sheltered from the wind, like a hollow, this might be the ideal location. There’s another problem with the weeping willow tree. It craves water, so if you really want to plant this fast growing, graceful tree, make sure it’s not near a cesspool, well or in-ground swimming pool, as the roots can head in that direction, doing damage to the concrete. The weeping willow tree grows well in U.S. Dept. of Agriculture hardiness zones 6 to 8 (Long Island is right in the middle at zone 7). It particularly likes to grow near water, but while the hardiness zones are limited, it does tolerate a wide range of soil pH levels. It’s a great shade tree quickly reaching 30 to 40 feet tall, growing as wide as is tall. Give this one plenty of room. Another willow, pussy willow, (S. discolor) is native to North America. The deciduous shrub first produces furry catkins (or cat’s feet) in early spring. Many people like to cut branches from this stage of the plant and use them in dried arrangements or to make wreaths. If you do cut branches, do not put them

in water or they will progress to the next stage, flowers. After flowering, this easy to grow plant then produces green leaves. It is definitely grown for the early catkins. Pussy willow grows well in zones 4 through 8 or 9 (depending on variety). Although most pussy willow plants produce gray catkins, there’s a rare variety (‘Mt. Asama’) that has a burgundy ones. A weeping pussy willow (S. caprea ‘Pendula’) can be grown as a small ornamental tree reaching 6 to 8 feet tall. As most weeping plants, the latter is really nice in winter when snow and ice covers the weeping branches. Another popular willow that does well on Long Island is the dappled willow (S. integra). Like many other willows, the shrub is fast growing and can easily reach 15 to 20 feet tall and wide. However, if you really like this shrub, it can be pruned to keep it much smaller. In fact, it’s the new branches in spring that have mottled leaves that make it really stand out in the garden. The dappled willow does well in hardiness zones 4 to 9. It is a native of eastern Asia, including China, Japan and Korea. Like other willows, the flowers are catkins (a cylindrical flower with no obvious petals). The cultivar ‘Hakuro Nishiki’ comes out very pale pink in spring. Are willows deer resistant? Good question. Some sources say yes and some no, so you’ll have to see what the deer in your area like. However, rabbits do like willows, so you should take whatever precautions you normally take to keep your plants safe from them. While willows, in general, like moist soil, some varieties are somewhat drought tolerant once established. In general they like sun but tolerate light shade, and do well in a wide variety of soil conditions. Ellen Barcel is a freelance writer and master gardener.

SPORTSWEEK STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

Tomorrow is Friday — wear red on campus!

THE QUOTE

‘We feel very comfortable in overtime games because of our fitness, and we were able to pull out another win tonight.’ — RYAN ANATOL

Erdei earns berth with OT goal Sophomore forward Vince Erdei’s overtime goal lifted the Stony Brook men’s soccer team (7-6-3, 3-2-1 AE) to a 2-1 victory over Binghamton University on Friday night, securing a spot in the America East playoﬀs. With the win, the Seawolves join a three-way tie with Binghamton and the University of New Hampshire for first place in the conference. “It was a diﬃcult game,” Stony Brook head coach Ryan Anatol said. “Binghamton is a very organized team that presents many challenges. Serge scored a great goal to send the game into overtime. We feel very comfortable in overtime games because of our fitness, and we were able to pull out another win tonight.”

Neither team generated many scoring chances in the first 35 minutes, until Binghamton’s Pascal Trappe opened the scoring with a cracking goal from 25 yards out. The Bearcats were successful holding the Seawolves oﬀ the scoresheet until freshman midfielder Serge Gamwanya broke through with just 3:13 remaining in the match. He intercepted a pass in midfield, dribbled toward goal and fired a shot inside the post before a stepping defender could close him down to send the game into overtime. Gamwanya was at the center of the action in overtime as well, setting up Erdei for the game-winning goal. He sent a pass behind the back four to Erdei, who

lunged at the ball and poked it past the charging keeper, sending the Seawolves into a frenzy. The Seawolves have now qualified for the playoﬀs in six of the last seven seasons. Stony Brook celebrated its three seniors, Jason Orban, a goalkeeper; and midfielders Alejandro Fritz and Martin Giordano. Giordano, Fritz and Gamwanya led the Seawolves with four shots. Gamwanya put a team-high three shots on goal. The Seawolves improved to 7-0-3 when allowing one or less goals, and Stony Brook is now 3-0 in overtime games. Erdei moved into a tie with the University at Albany’s Afonso Pinheiro for the conference lead in goals with his eighth of the season. Gamwanya leads all freshmen in the conference with 11 points on three goals and five assists. Stony Brook swept the conference awards after a 2-0 week. Erdei was named the Co-America East Player of the Week, scoring a combined three goals in Stony Brook’s two wins over Hofstra and Binghamton. Gamwanya garnered America East Rookie of the Week, with a goal and two assists. The Seawolves are currently riding a three-game winning streak and four game unbeaten streak. It’s their longest streak since they won four in a row and went unbeaten in six straight in 2012. Stony Brook eyed a regular-season title when it traveled to the University of Maryland Baltimore County on Wednesday, for its regular-season finale, but results were not available by press time.

Melian wins America East individual title

Photos from SBU

Christina Melian, above, and Bryce Hedman, right, with their America East trophies.

Stony Brook women’s cross country junior Christina Melian won the women’s individual title Saturday at the 2015 America East Cross Country Championships. Freshman Bryce Hedman won Rookie of the Meet honors for his top time by a firstyear runner. The Seawolf men finished second while the women placed third. “It was exciting to host the America East Championships today,” Stony Brook head coach Andy Ronan said. “To challenge for conference titles on your home course does not happen that often, so this was a little more special. Christina was outstanding once again. I think this will turn out to be the hardest race she has run or will have to run this season. At any time, it takes a lot to win a conference title, and when you add in the pressure of having to do it at home, that adds to the expectation, but she handled all that like the mature student-athlete she has developed into.” Melian completed the women’s 5K in 17 minutes, 53.24 seconds, to win the race by more than 16 seconds. “We talked about letting the race take shape early and then hitting the front and applying the pressure to the field, and that’s

basically how it played out,” Ronan said. Junior Christine Eisenberg was the second Seawolf across in the women’s race, finishing 12th in 19:06.21. Junior Olivia Ritchie placed 15th in 19:12.59. Sophomore Talia Guevara was 24th in 19:33.77, while senior Tara Peck was 25th in 19:36.21. “Team-wise, we went in with the mindset of pushing New Hampshire for the title, but we got bit by a little Halloween witchcraft,” Ronan said. “During the early part of the race, another athlete stood on the back of Liz Caldwell’s shoe and it came off. I feel that cost us a second-place finish, but it is all part of the sport.” Senior Mitchell Kun was the top finisher on the men’s side, with a sixth-place finish in 25:21.66 over 8K. Hedman finished 12th overall in 25:39.11. Senior Joseph Clark finished 15th in 25:49.41. Sophomore Michael Watts was 17th in 25:53.12, and sophomore Daniel Connelly was 24th in 26:06.26. “The men ran great,” Ronan said. “They fought their way around the course… none of them felt particularly good, but they stuck to the task and took second. Sometimes a second place finish can be considered a win… I feel this was one of

those times. Mitch Kun played his part as a senior leader and Bryce Hedman was fantastic; he produced the run of the day, and that is why he was Rookie of the Meet. We went in hoping to finish fourth, at worst, because we had not been racing well, but today is a better reflection of what this team is capable of.” The Seawolves will travel to Boston for the NCAA Northeast Regionals at Franklin Park on Friday, Nov. 13.

Stony Brook comes up short against Elon Sophomore running back Donald Liotine scored his second career touchdown for Stony Brook and the Seawolves’ defense held visiting Elon University to just 71 rushing yards, but the Phoenix escaped LaValle Stadium with a 21-7 victory in a Colonial Athletic Association football game on Saturday afternoon. The Stony Brook (2-5, 1-5 CAA Football) defense held Elon (3-5, 2-3 CAA Football) to negative 11 rushing yards over the first three quarters of the game before the Phoenix gained positive yards on the ground in the final 15 minutes. Liotine finished the day with 33 yards on 12 carries, while sophomore wide

receiver Ray Bolden pulled down nine catches for 64 yards and redshirt freshman quarterback Joe Carbone threw for 142 yards in his first career start. Defensively, senior defensive end Victor Ochi, junior defensive back Jaheem Woods and redshirt freshman linebacker Shayne Lawless each recorded five tackles and a sack. Elon scored the first points of the game with 2:36 left in the first quarter, when Demetrius Oliver pulled down a 50-yard pass from Connor Christiansen. The point-after attempt by John Gallagher was good. The drive was two-plays for 46 yards. Stony Brook tied the score on the opening drive of the second half when Liotine rushed left into the end zone from one yard out. His run capped an 18-play, 75-yard drive that took 8:04 off the clock. Junior kicker Przemyslaw Popek kicked the point-after attempt. Elon retook the lead in the fourth quarter when Jon Thomas made an acrobatic catch in the end zone on a pass from Daniel Thompson from 24 yards away. The extra-point by Gallagher was good. The drive was four plays for 36 yards. The Phoenix extended their lead with a 43-yard rushing score by Malcolm Summers that capped a short two-play, 53-yard drive. The extra-point attempt by Gallagher was good. “Elon came out and didn’t make enough mistakes to help up,” Stony

Brook head coach Chuck Priore said. “They got some big plays at opportunistic times and they cashed in on some of our mistakes. We are disappointed in the loss. Anytime we are not winning, it falls directly on my shoulders and it will be on my shoulders to be able to fix it. We will get back to work and figure out the things we need to be successful.” Ochi’s sack in the game against Elon moved his career total to 26, moving the senior into second on the Stony Brook career sacks list. Ochi is three away from tying the all-time Stony Brook record of 29 held by David Bamiro (2001-04).

Ochi’s one tackle for a loss against Elon moved his career total to 41, and vaulted him into second place. He is now three away from the Seawolves’ all-time record of 44 held by John Kostkowicz (1995-99). “One thing I will always say is when you win, you win as a team,” Priore said. “No one person did it. And when you lose, you lose as a team.” Stony Brook will host Howard University in the final non-conference game of the season on Nov. 7 at LaValle Stadium for a 1 p.m. kickoff.

SB’s Lawler, Mamalis form dynamic duo with a purpose the power of 1

3 2

By Daniel Dunaief

The one who grew up in Greece specializes in working on computers, where he plugs numbers into a model, runs simulated tests and generates information. His collaborator, who was raised near Boston, works with physical models, testing, tinkering and changing objects in real life. Together, these two mechanical engineers who work at Stony Brook, recently won a $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop and test a patented design they hope improves the efficiency and reduces the emissions of car engines. “The heart of what we do,” said Benjamin Lawler, an assistant professor in mechanical engineering, speaking broadly about his research interests, “is to look at the way our society works, look for inefficiencies and look for ways we can improve upon them.” With a proposal to work with an onboard fuel reformer, Lawler, who is originally from Swampscott, Massachusetts, and Sotirios Mamalis, who was raised in Athens, Greece, won one of eight DOE grants awarded to research teams around the country that are exploring similar ways to improve vehicle technology. The two engineers met when they were Ph.D. students at the University of Michigan. They had the same advisor, Dennis Assanis, who is now the provost

3 at Stony Brook and a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Assanis said these engineers faced stiff competition against people with similar backgrounds from around the world. “They prevailed over a pool of talented applicants,” Assanis said, adding that he has “tremendous confidence in their abilities.” Stony Brook has been building its mechanical engineering department, among others at the campus, and hopes to nearly double the number of faculty within the next five years, Assanis said. He would like mechanical engineering to be “one of our strong pillars” for academic research. Lawler and Mamalis are looking at improving the practical application of an existing technology called Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition. These type of engines require two different types of fuel, which limits their use. “Concepts that use two fuels haven’t worked out well,” Assanis said. Lawler and Mamalis are hoping to improve on the use of an onboard fuel reform system that will change the chemical composition of one type of gas into two, enabling more consumer vehicles to benefit from the RCCI technology. An onboard fuel reformer will “take a fuel and partially react it, changing its chemical composition into a different

mixture,” Lawler said. Using funds from the grant for the next three years, Lawler and Mamalis will test conventional gas, diesel and natural gas to see if their approach to the fuel reformer can expand the application of this technology. Mamalis said he expects, based on the literature and the properties of the parent fuels, that conventional gas will be the best candidate for the process. Lawler and Mamalis said they face a number of hurdles to make their approach viable. “One of the personal concerns I have is whether there’s enough difference between the parent fuel and what it gets reformed into,” Lawler said. Assanis, who is a co-principal investigator on the grant, said there’s “very good potential” for this fuel reformer, although he, too, recognized the difficulties along the way. “We can’t have a reformer that takes too much space and we need to keep the weight low,” Assanis said. Still, this kind of research could lead to advances in the technology. “We need to walk before we drive,” said Assanis. If the work on this project shows some promise, and Lawler and Mamalis generate improved efficiency and lower emissions, they would likely submit more grants and, down the road, look to attract a commercial partner. Stony Brook “wants to give back to the community” with its innovations, Assanis said. If this proves effective, the researchers could license it to others or they might form a start-up company with university investors. In addition to the internal combustion engine work, the duo is working on a study funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy that relates to stationary electrical power generation.

Assanis said this is one of four ARPA-E awards Stony Brook faculty have received recently, that total a combined $6.5 million. “It’s hard to get these grants,” Assanis said. “We’ve gotten four awards at the same time in different areas. This shows you where we want to go.” Lawler and Mamalis said they are working to learn each other’s domains, as Mamalis has improved Lawler’s knowledge of computer modeling and Mamalis is spending more time working with the machine parts in the lab.

How sweet it is!

Emma S. Clark Library in Setauket held its 3rd annual Life-Size Candy Land on Oct. 23. Approximately 120 community members came out for the free event, which was entirely run by teen volunteers who decorated the children’s department, transforming it into the popular board game. In a practice-run before Halloween, children traveled through the game’s winding trail, meeting some of the game’s characters, who gave out treats. A scrumptious time was had by all.
