Dealing with animal treat toxicosis

BY MATTHEW KEARNS, DVM

As the holiday season approaches we start to put together lists of gifts for family members. Of course, these lists are extended to the furry members of family as well and what makes a better gift than a tasty treat. These treats may be tasty but beware — they may contain toxins.

A study released in 2015 discovered a link between dog treats and a kidney condition called Fanconi Like Syndrome, or FLS for short. In the study over 5000 dogs were affected with this syndrome. Fanconi Syndrome is a defect, or malfunctioning of a portion of the kidney called the proximal renal tubule.

The kidney is actually made up of millions of microscopically small filters called nephrons and the nephron is broken into specific parts. One of these specific parts is called the proximal tubule. The proximal tubule’s job is to allow toxins and some fluid to pass while reabsorbing needed nutrients like glucose (sugar), amino acids, bicarbonate. FLS leads to loss of these nutrients and, if untreated, eventually irreversible kidney failure.

The symptoms of FLS are lethargy, inappetence, increased drinking and increased urination. Bloodwork shows elevated kidney enzymes, acid-base and electrolyte imbalances, and glucose in the

urine despite having a normal to below normal blood glucose. Your dog may need to be admitted for supportive care (IV fluids, injectable medications, etc) to initially treat the disease. Your veterinarian may wish to run other tests for other causes of Fanconi Syndrome such as genetic predisposition, infections, and medications.

The good news is that stopping these treats usually resolves the situation before permanent damage is done. The treat flavors implicated were chicken, duck, and sweet potato. Initially, only treats from China were implicated; however, later treats produced in the United States were also implicated.

Manufacturers are not required to disclose their suppliers of raw materials.

Another problem was of chicken and turkey treats made with neck meat (there are treats that are literally freeze-dried chicken, duck, and turkey necks. The thyroid gland is on the neck and these treats had abnormally high levels of thyroid tissue. Ingestion of thyroid tissue can lead to hyperthyroid, or overactive thyroid symptoms, possibly even thyroid cancer.

The good news is almost all of the cases in these studies, the symptoms resolved when the treats were discontinued the symptoms resolved. So, don’t forget to stuff their stockings with all sorts of treats but just be aware of the ingredients.

PORT JEFFERSON DERMATOLOGY

Let us light the way

BY RABBI AARON BENSON

Peter A. Klein, MD Adam J. Korzenko, MD Brett M. Dolgin, DO * Wil D. Tutrone, MD Vanita Srivastava, DO * Renee Fruchter, MD

Nights And Weekends Available We provide outstanding dermatologic care to patients with diseases of the skin, hair, and nails. All care is provided by a physician who is board-certified in Dermatology * Dr. Dolgin and Dr. Srivastava are pleased to offer Botox and fillers. Please call for more information.

Hanukkah candles need to burn for at least thirty minutes. The Jewish holiday, Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, involves lighting a candle for each of the holidays eight nights.

Of course the candles can burn longer than that, but the ancient sages determined such a length of time would be enough to make the lighting significant and yet not overly costly at a time when candles would have been more expensive and essential than today.

The lights remind us of a miracle performed for the ancient Jews. Having thrown off the yoke of foreign rule, they came to rededicate the despoiled Temple in Jerusalem. There they found only enough oil to light the Temple menorah for a day, but the oil miraculously last eight days. During that time the Jews were able to prepare more oil.

Yet we light for only thirty minutes. We illuminate the long winter night for the briefest of intervals. It seems inadequate but we not only do it once, but over and over for more than a week. And this is enough to celebrate a holiday about miracles.

Rabbi Aaron Benson

Sometimes in life we may only be able to “light up the dark” temporarily to help that friend or family member or ourselves just a little. Should we refrain from doing so just because we can’t fix it all? Certainly not!

Over and over we must keep doing what we can, even if it might be just a little, to bring some good, to cause a miracle to take place.

During the thirty minutes the Hanukkah candles burn each night, and during all this winter season, let us do our part, whether large or small, to aid those lost in the night and light the way for them.

Reversing, Preventing &Treating Chronic Disease and Managing Weight by Connecting Conventional Medicine with Lifestyle Modifications

David Dunaief, M.D.

Clinician, Researcher, Author and Speaker

Our Philosophy is simple.

We believe wellness is derived through nutritional medicine and lifestyle interventions that prevent and treat chronic diseases.

Medications have their place - and in some cases can be lifesaving.

However, there’s no medication without side effects. The goal should be to limit the need for medications - or minimize the number of medications you take on a regular basis.

You are not limited by your genes.

Fortunately, most diseases are based primarily on epigenetics, which are environmental influences, and not on genetics. Epigenetics literally means above or around the gene. In epigenetics, lifestyle choices impact gene expression. Just because your first degree relatives may have had a disease, you are not predestined to follow suit.

We are specialists who will partner with your primary care physician.

A standard medical education does not integrate enough nutritional medicine and other lifestyle interventions. We bridge that gap.

We use evidence-based medicine to guide our decision-making.

The amount of research related to nutrition and other lifestyle issues continues to grow rapidly, with many studies showing significant beneficial effects on health.

We treat each patient as an individual.

We will work with you to develop a plan that allows you to take a proactive role in managing your own health. The health outcomes are worth the effort.

Is disease reversal possible?

Absolutely! Study evidence has found this to be true, and many of our patients have experienced reversal of diabetes, autoimmune disorders, migraines, and cardiovascular disease, just to mention a few. In many cases, because of their exceptional results, our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their medications.

Dr. Dunaief was also recently published in The New York Times and appeared on NBC, News 12 Long Island and News 12 Brooklyn.

Benefits of Our Approach: Treat/reverse the causes of disease, not just symptoms Minimize or eliminate dependence on medications Reduce pain and inflammation Improve weight management, and more

Hydration during the 'heat's on' months

Mild dehydration can lead to decreased concentration, subdued mood, fatigue and headaches

Dehydration typically gets attention during the summer months, when we spend more time outside in the heat. However, during the cooler winter months, it can also be troublesome.

Dry heat quickly evaporates moisture in the air, making it hard to stay hydrated.

Complications and symptoms of dehydration can be mild to severe, ranging from constipation, mood BY DAVID DUNAIEF, MD changes, headaches and heart palpitations to heat stroke, migraines and heart attacks.

In addition, the dry air can make our throats and sinuses dry, making us uncomfortable and more susceptible to irritations and viruses.

Dehydration is simple to avoid, right?

Not necessarily. We may be dehydrated before we’re thirsty. Let’s look at some of the consequences of dehydration and suggestions for avoiding it.

Tension-type migraines

In a review of studies published in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology, those who drank four cups more water had significantly fewer hours of migraine pain than those who drank less (1). Headache intensity decreased as well.

Heart palpitations

Heart palpitations are very common and are broadly felt as a racing heart rate, skipped beat, pounding sensation or fluttering. Dehydration and exercise are contributing factors (2). They occur mainly when we don’t hydrate prior to exercise. All we need to do is drink one glass of water prior to exercise and then drink during exercise to avoid palpitations. Though these symptoms are not usually life-threatening, they are anxiety producing for patients.

Heart attacks

The Adventist Health Study, an observational study, showed a dose-response curve for men (3). In other words, group one, which drank more than five glasses of water daily, had the least risk of death from heart disease than group two, which drank more

have a plant-rich focus. A study notes that diets with a focus on fruits and vegetables increases water consumption (6). As you may know, 95 percent of the weights of many fruits and vegetables are attributed to water.

An added benefit is an increased satiety level without eating calorically dense foods.

Remember that salty foods can be dehydrating, including breads and pastries, so try to avoid these.

Are caffeinated drinks dehydrating?

than three glasses of water daily. Those in group three, which drank fewer than two glasses per day, saw the least amount of benefit, comparatively. For women, there was no difference between groups one and two; both fared better than group three.

The reason for this effect, according to the authors, may relate to blood or plasma viscosity (thickness) and fibrinogen, a substance that helps clots form.

Decreased concentration

In a study, mild dehydration resulted in decreased concentration, subdued mood, fatigue and headaches in women (4). In this small study the mean age of participants was 23, and they were neither athletes nor highly sedentary. Dehydration was caused by walking on a treadmill with or without taking a diuretic (water pill) prior to the exercise. The authors concluded that adequate hydration was needed, especially during and after exercise.

I would also suggest, from my practice experience, hydration prior to exercise.

Staying hydrated

Now we realize we need to stay hydrated, but how do we go about this? How much water we need to drink depends on circumstances, such as diet, activity levels, environment and other factors. It is not true necessarily that we all should be drinking eight glasses of water a day.

In a review article, the authors analyzed the data, but did not find adequate studies to suggest that eight glasses is supported in the literature (5). It may actually be too much for some patients.

You may also get a significant amount of water from the foods in your diet. Nutrientdense diets, like Mediterranean or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH),

In a review, it was suggested that caffeinated coffee and tea don’t increase the risk of dehydration, even though caffeine is a mild diuretic (7). With moderate amounts of caffeinated beverages, the liquid has a more hydrating effect than its diuretic effect.

Keeping some humidity in the air

To reduce sinus inflammation and dry skin that you can experience with heated air, measure the humidity level in your home with a hygrometer and target keeping it between 30 and 50 percent (8). When the temperature outside drops below 10 degrees F, lower this to 25 percent.

Strategies for adding moisture to the air include using cool mist humidifiers, keeping the bathroom door open after you bathe or shower, and placing bowls of water strategically around your home, including on your stovetop when you cook. If you use a humidifier, take care to follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and clean it regularly.

It is important to stay hydrated to avoid complications — some are serious, but all are uncomfortable. Diet is a great way to ensure that you get the triple effect of high nutrients, increased hydration and sense of feeling satiated without calorie-dense foods. However, don’t go overboard with water consumption, especially if you have congestive heart failure or open-angle glaucoma (9).

CSHL celebrates science, Mr. October at Natural History gala Harnessing the Technology of our Research Giants

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

This November, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory celebrated baseball’s Mr. October.

The research facility that specializes in studying cancer, neuroscience, quantitative and plant biology hosted its 16th annual Double Helix Medals dinner at the Museum of Natural History on Nov. 17.

The evening, which was emceed by television journalist Lesley Stahl, honored Hall-of-Famer Reggie Jackson, as well as Leonard Schleifer and George Yancopoulos, the founders of Regeneron, the pharmaceutical company that has provided a life-saving antibody treatment for COVID-19.

The evening, which featured a dinner beneath the blue whale at the museum, raised a record $5 million for research.

“When we were standing in the hall of dinosaurs at the museum, it was fantastic,” said CSHL President and CEO Bruce Stillman.

“It was one of the first events where people went out like the old days” prior to the pandemic.

Stillman said guests had to have received their COVID vaccinations to attend the celebration.

In addition to establishing a career as a clutch hitter in the playoffs, Reggie Jackson has dedicated considerable energy through his Mr. October Foundation to improve education around the country.

“His Mr. October foundation complements and parallels the DNA Learning Center programs, particularly now that we’ve opened a large DNA Learning Center in downtown Brooklyn that is serving underserved students in lab-based science,” said Stillman.

SPOTLIGHTING DISCOVERIES AT (1) COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB (2) STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY & (3) BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB

In his acceptance speech, Jackson said he found it “significant” that he received an honor for his educational efforts off the baseball field.

Yancopoulos, meanwhile, described his roots as the son of first generation immigrant parents from Greece. Yancopoulos highlighted the need for more funding in research and suggested that science helped pull the world through the pandemic. Yancopoulos said the National Institutes of Health should increase its budget 10-fold to meet the research and clinical needs of the population.

“Biotechnology offers the promise of really solving some of the most difficult problems that we face if we want our citizens to live not only longer, but healthier lives,” Schleifer said in a statement.

Mayor-elect Eric Adams, meanwhile, gave a speech about his vision for the future of the city which included, after some prompting from Stillman, increasing science in the education system.

The Double Helix gala, which started in 2006 when the lab honored the late boxer Muhammed Ali, raises money that goes into CSHL’s operating budget to support research and education.

This year, the donations included a generous gift from Astros owner Jim Crane, who introduced his friend Jackson.

Stillman helps direct the funds raised through the dinner to support scientists who are making what he termed “breakthrough discoveries.”

Many of the most significant discoveries come through philanthropic support, Stillman said, which makes it possible for researchers to design high-risk, high-reward experiments.

Yancopoulos. Photos by Constance Brukin

CSHL Chair of the Board of Trustees Dr. Marilyn Simons, a previous winner, attended the festive evening.

Senior leadership at the lab chooses the honorees. Stillman said CSHL already has two honorees for the event next year.

Previous honorees include actor Michael J. Fox, basketball

legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, actor and science educator Alan Alda, and newscasters including Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric.

“It is a really spectacular list,” Stillman said. The winners, who receive a medal, have all contributed in some significant way to science or to science education.

The dinner provides an opportunity for supporters of the mission of CSHL, which has had eight Nobel Prize winners work at the lab during their careers, to invite others to hear about research at the lab.

“It was a very inspiring evening,” Stillman said.

GIVING BACK

To celebrate the spirit of giving this holiday season, the students of St. James’ Harbor Country Day School’s Student Council conducted their annual food drive to benefit the Smithtown Emergency Food Pantry. Over the course of two weeks, more than 500 pieces of nonperishable food items were collected. On Nov. 15, those donated items were then delivered to the Food Pantry by Student Council officers.

"The pantry relies solely on donations and Harbor Country Day School greatly helps us to fulfill our mission of providing assistance to all who come to us," said Pat Westlake, Director of the Smithtown Emergency Pantry. Photo from Harbor Country Day School

This holiday season prepare your house to sell Want to sell your home? Now is as good of a time as any to get started.

Why now?

Recently, National Association of Realtors Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said at a conference and expo that the residential

BY MICHAEL ARDOLINO real estate market continues to be promising.

"All markets are seeing strong conditions and home sales are the best they have been in 15 years,” Yun said. "The housing sector's success will continue, but I don't expect next year's performance to exceed this year's."

First steps

Before a for sale sign goes up, there’s some prepping to be done.

A real estate professional will provide some tips on preparing your house to make it more attractive to potential buyers. I've mentioned some of that advice in past columns.

Sellers usually know to put away anything they don't need right now and donate what they no longer want. This tip applies during the holiday season, too. A festive seasonal look can be inviting, just not too much. This means if you’re ready to sell before 2021 ends, keep this in mind to show off your space to its fullest potential.

The most important step is to sit down with a professional. They'll go over with you how much similar houses near you sold at and help you decide the best marketing strategy and pricing for your home.

Timing is important

For the last few months, we’ve been keeping an eye on real estate news and trends together. As many recent Long Island sellers know, prices have been high and houses have sold quickly. While winter historically tends to be slower in the real estate, experts predict things will be different this season. “[This] winter is likely to be a better time to sell than winter typically is,” says Kelly Mangold, principal at RCLCO Real Estate Consulting. “Many sellers should not feel the need to wait until spring, especially in highdemand areas.”

This is no surprise. Interest rates are still historically low. For buyers, it’s still wise to get a mortgage now as some experts see interest rates inching up in 2022. A few experts, including forecasters at the Mortgage Bankers Association, predict that by the end of 2022 30-year fixed mortgage rates will average 4%. Fannie Mae economists are more conservative, thinking the rates will average more around 3.4% during the fourth quarter of next year.

Sellers can still get more money now than they would have just two winters ago.

Inventory is still not meeting demand, with more buyers than sellers. Add to the equation that many buyers have met stiff competition finding their dream home. Many are still looking or starting their search again after taking a short break.

Takeaway

Real estate trends depend on what’s going on economy-wise and can be confusing sometimes. A real estate professional would be more than happy to help you with the steps and timing. So ... let’s talk..

MOVIE REVIEW Storm Lake documentary shows why community newspapers matter

Horoscopes of the week

REVIEWED BY JEFFREY SANZEL

“Readers decide our future. Not any branch of government.”

Sixty-five million Americans live in news deserts—counties with only one local newspaper or none at all. In the past fifteen years, one in four newspapers has shuttered in the U.S. Storm Lake, the fascinating documentary by Jerry Risius and Beth Levison, follows The Storm Lake Times, a family-run paper located in Buena Vista County, Iowa. Operating at break-even, The Times, a twice-weekly paper, is one of the last of its kind.

Located in the northwest corner of the state, Storm Lake is home to about 11,000 residents. Originally an almost exclusively Caucasian community, it now contains a large Latino population. Tyson Foods employs over 2,200 workers at its hog slaughterhouse, meatpacking plant, and turkey processing plant.

In ninety well-crafted minutes, Storm Lake offers a portrait of the small-town newspaper industry and a family whose goal is to keep it alive. Founded in 1990 by John Cullen, The Storm Lake Times' face and voice is Art Cullen, John’s brother.

Art, a benign curmudgeon and county’s Democratic voice, presents somewhat like a hippie Mark Twain. At age 59, he received the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing. He “ask[s] the big questions, speak[s] truth to power, and share[s] the struggles and successes of his unique community.” The paper is a liberal bastion in the predominantly conservative area.

The Times has ten employees, including Art’s son, Tom, who is the main reporter.

Founder John explains that he donates his salary because he is on Social Security. Art’s wife, Mary, can be seen taking pictures and writing features. Art’s sister-in-law provides the recipe column. The family dog, Peach, lolls on the office floor or rides along with drop-offs.

The film smartly divides its focus between the big and small pictures. As a result, the day-to-day life of the paper

From left, reporter Tom Cullen, editor Art Cullen and publisher John Cullen of the Storm Lake Times.

contrasts with larger events. Advertising is the lifeblood of any paper, and The Storm Lake Times grapples with filling its quota.

Most of the revenue derives from momand-pop stores, but large corporations have driven many out of business.

There are many happy stories: births, local celebrities, “Miss Pigtails,” educational advancements, and county fairs. Local government is given the same weight as national politics. For their readers, garbage pickup is more important than a presidential hopeful’s visit. “Local journalism is the heart of telling the local story.” The report on Ice Out Day, when the ice melts, encompasses a reference to climate change. The Times follows a local Tyson plant worker who is moving forward on a Spanish language talent show.

The paper never shies away from addressing issues of prejudice, extremely important in its growing immigrant community. The story of eight-year-old Julio Barroso, who was deported along with his family, is highlighted; the staff tracked him down in Mexico twenty-two years later.

In addition, a partnership is developed with the Spanish paper La Prensa to share content and ads.

The staff listens to its community and responds to their thoughts and criticism.

“There are consequences for everything we do, and we feel that feedback immediately,” says John.

Broader politics included the coverage of The Heartland Presidential Forum, with major Democratic candidates speaking: Art Cullen was the draw. He interviewed Elizabeth Warren, Julio Castro, and Amy Klobuchar, among others. The Iowa Caucus occupies much of the middle and latter half of the film. But even here, there is a discussion about the cutting down of the paper’s TV listings from eighty channels to thirty-one to save space and money. Risius and Levison never lose sight of the myriad challenges.

The end of the film deals with the COVID crisis, and specifically, the Tyson plants. The Storm Lake Times reported on the disproportionate number of immigrants endangered by their work in unsafe conditions. Art states that this is “subtle racism—but racism all the same.”

The Tyson operation became the hottest spot in the country for COVID cases.

The denouement shifts briefly to the paper’s labors to survive the pandemic when “ads fell off a cliff,” and Art and John thought of closing the paper. Fortunately, with a go-fund-me and other support, The Storm Lake Times survived. With its new website, it reaches 1.2 million readers per month.

Storm Lake contains the expected filler of printing and binding papers, along with stacks dropped off in stores and machines.

Occasionally, there is something meta about the documentarians shooting the television on which Art appears on a talk show. But there are wonderful extended quotes from many of Art’s insightful and passionate editorials. In addition, the documentarians know when to let the film breathe: a talk about feeding the dog, a discussion of a new shirt, or briefly watching Art pick the cashews out of a can of mixed nuts all add to the humanity.

In a world where people want their news for free, Storm Lake is a powerful and important reminder about local journalism’s responsibility, value, and contribution.

The film ends on the hopeful note that good journalism elevates a community by reporting on what is good.

“You can change the world through journalism. The reporter is the cornerstone in a functioning democracy. And without strong local journalism, the fabric of the place becomes frayed.”

COOKING COVE For Hanukkah ... roast chicken recipes from around the world

Richard Beymer and Natalie Wood in a scene from the film.

'West Side Story' returns to the big screen

In celebration of its 60th anniversary, West Side Story will return to select cinemas nationwide on Sunday, Nov. 28 and Wednesday, Dec. 1, courtesy of Turner Classic Movies, MGM and Fathom Events.

This electrifying musical, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics from Stephen Sondheim, sets the ageless tragedy of Romeo and Juliet in the slums of 1950's New York.

West Side Story explores the rivalry between two teenage street gangs — the Jets and the Sharks. When a member of the Jets falls in love with the sister of the Sharks' leader, things look hopeful at first, but rapidly go downhill. Illustrating the events are many memorable song and dance numbers such as “America,” “Somewhere" and “I Feel Pretty.”

Starring Natalie Wood, Rita Moreno, Russ Tamblyn, Richard Beymer and George Chakiris, the film went on to win 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, ans was the highest-grossing movie of the year on its original release in 1961.

This special anniversary event will feature exclusive insights from Turner Classic Movies. Locally, the film will be screened at AMC Stony Brook 17, 2196 Nesconset Highway, Stony Brook on Nov. 28 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. and Island 16 Cinema De Lux, 185 Morris Ave., Holtsville on Nov. 28 at 3 p.m. and Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. To order tickets in advance, visit www.fathomevents.com.

---------------------------------------------------

The screening is the perfect precursor to Steven Spielberg's much anticipated adaptation of the beloved film which is expected to hit theatres on Dec. 10.

Featuring Ansel Elgort and Rachel Zegler as leading love-interests Tony and Maria, the star-studded cast not only includes Dance Moms alum Maddie Ziegler and Hamilton’s Ariana DeBose, but also features a special appearance by Rita Moreno who played Anita in the original film.

BY BARBARA BELTRAMI

You know, for a long time now, Jewish cuisine around here has been mostly from descendants of Central European and Russian immigrants; consequently, when we think of Hanukkah, the eight-day Festival of Lights, we think of traditional holiday fare passed down from ancestors who came from those countries.

But there are Jewish populations all over the world, and some of them have immigrated here in recent years and brought their own holiday fare with them. So this year, I’m going to integrate their traditions into my Hanukkah menus, and I hope you will too.

I’m thinking that the ubiquitous roast chicken is the perfect way to highlight the special flavors of various other Jewish cuisines. A favorite version of that would be one with dried fruit and almonds from Morocco or a lemony Mediterranean one. But I’d also love to try a recipe for Chinese roast chicken that I am told goes back to the Jewish colony in Shanghai many years ago. Can I make roast chicken three out of the eight nights of Hanukkah? The flavors are all so different, why not?

Moroccan Roast Chicken

YIELD: Makes 4 servings INGREDIENTS: • 1/4 cup olive oil • 1 1/2 pounds onions, thinly sliced • 1 cup dried apricots • 1 cup pitted prunes • 3/4 cup dried dates • 2 tablespoons sugar • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon • One 4 to 5 pound whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry

Mediterranean Roast Chicken

YIELD: Makes 4 servings INGREDIENTS: • 1/4 cup olive oil • Juice from one freshly squeezed lemon • Grated zest from one lemon • 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste • One 3 1/2 to 4 pound roasting chicken, washed and patted dry • 4 garlic cloves • 1 onion, quartered DIRECTIONS:

• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste • 3/4 to 1 cup water • 1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds DIRECTIONS:

In large cast iron skillet heat half the oil over medium-high heat; add onions and, stirring occasionally, cook until deep golden brown, about half an hour.

Transfer to large bowl, add dried fruit, sugar and cinnamon. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spread fruit mixture over bottom of large roasting pan. Rub chicken with remaining oil, turmeric, and salt and pepper; pour water around chicken and roast for one hour.

Rotate pan and add more water, a little at a time, if fruit mixture is starting to dry out; roast another 45 minutes, until chicken is browned and juices run clear when thigh joint is pierced. Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Transfer with any juices to warmed platter, sprinkle with almonds, arrange fruit around edges and serve with Israeli couscous.

Preheat oven to 425 F. In a small bowl combine the oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, salt and pepper; rub mixture inside chicken cavity and all over outside of chicken. Stuff cavity with remains of lemon, garlic and onion, sprinkle outside with more salt and pepper and place breast side up on rack in roasting pan. Roast 50 to 60 minutes, until skin is dark golden and juices run clear when thigh joint is pierced with a fork. Serve with roasted potatoes.

Shanghai Roast Chicken

YIELD: Makes 4 to 6 servings INGREDIENTS: • 1/2 cup soy sauce • 1/4 cup lemon juice • 2 tablespoons honey • 2 tablespoons sesame oil • 1 teaspoon dried mustard • 1 teaspoon ground ginger • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes • 1 whole 4 to 5 pound roasting chicken, rinsed and patted dry DIRECTIONS:

In small bowl, whisk together all ingredients except the chicken. Transfer to large resealable bag; add chicken and turn to evenly coat with spice mixture.

Rotating every few hours, refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Preheat oven to 350 F. Reserving marinade, place chicken on wire rack in roasting pan and roast 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours until dark golden brown and thigh juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

In medium saucepan, heat marinade to boiling and occasionally baste chicken with it. Remove from oven, let sit 10 minutes, then carve and serve with rice and grilled scallions.

THEATER REVIEW

Head to the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts for a magical Frozen Jr.

BY HEIDI SUTTON

W

hen Hans Christian Andersen penned "The Snow Queen" in 1844 he surely had no idea that his beautiful fairy tale would live on and serve as the inspiration for Walt Disney Animation Studio's Frozen over 150 years later. The second highest-grossing animated movie of all time, (Frozen II is the highest) it has morphed into a Broadway musical, short films, Disney on Ice and everything in between.

Now the timeless tale heads to the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts Center for 29 performances in the form of Frozen Jr. With music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez and book by Jennifer Lee, the show features all of the beloved songs from the animated film along with a few fun new ones.

The story follows two sisters who are princesses in the kingdom of Arendelle. The eldest, Elsa, was born with magical powers that allow her to create ice and snow. As a young child, Elsa doesn’t know how to control her powers and while building a snowman she accidentally harms her sister Anna. Although Anna is healed by the mysterious Hidden Folk, their parents decide it would be best to protect Anna by keeping the two apart.

Anna, who has no memory of the accident, can’t understand why her sister avoids her. When the parents are lost at sea, Elsa stays in her room, keeping her secret hidden from her sister and the outside world.

Ten years have passed and it is time for Elsa to become Queen, but on coronation day her magic unintentionally brings an eternal winter to the kingdom. Accused of sorcery, she flees into the mountains to hide. Anna enlists the help of Kristoff the icemaker to help her find her sister and free Arendelle from the spell. Will she succeed?

Directed and choreographed by Courtney Braun with musical direction by Melissa Coyle, the production is polished from start to finish. Ranging in age from 8 to 17, the 24-member cast is extremely talented and clearly love what they are doing. Special mention must be made of Leah Kelly and Lorelai Mucciolo for standout performances in the role of Elsa and Anna.

Clockwise from top, Leah Kelly and Lorelai Mucciolo star as Elsa and Anna; Derek Hough as Sven and Brody Hampson as Kristoff sing 'Reindeer(s) are Better Than People'; Jillian Cerrato and Elena Grassi as Young Elsa and Young Anna sing 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?'; and Ryan Romanelli belts out 'In Summer.'

Photos by Courtney Braun

Lorelai's bubbly personality shines in "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?," "For the First Time In Forever" and in her fun duet, "Love is An Open Door," with Luke Hampson who plays the role of Hans. In contrast, Leah's character is more reserved, fearful of the powers inside her, and carries herself like royalty. Her vocals are incredible and she literally brings the house down with her powerful number "Let It Go." Both are perfectly cast.

Elena Grassi and Jillian Cerrato as Young Anna and Young Elsa and Riley Ferraro and Gabby Blum as Middle Anna and Middle Elsa set up the relationship between the two sisters perfectly. Much to the delight of the younger children in the audience, Olaf the Snowman (played by Ryan Romanelli) and Sven the reindeer (played by Derek Hough) make an appearance as well.

The cast: Leah Kelly, Lorelai Mucciolo, Brody Hampson, Ryan Romanelli, Derek Hough, Luke Hampson, Ari Spiegel, Michael Gualtieri, Ryan Van Nostrand, Gabrielle Arroyo, Justin Walsh Weiner, Zachary Podair, Alia Romanelli, Elena Grassi, Jillian Cerrato, Gabby Blum, Dori Alghrim, Riley Ferraro, Adrienne Porti, Mairead Camas, Savannah Shaw, Sophia Weiner, Jonathan Setzer and Gianna Oppedisano.

Costumes, designed by Chakira Doherty, are stunningly beautiful and her attention to detail is impeccable. Of special note is when Elsa changes costumes mid-song during “Let It Go” and turns into an ice queen with a beautiful blue shimmering dress, drawing gasps from the audience.

A nice addition is the animated projections on a screen depicting different locations in the Kingdom of Arendelle including the inside and outside of the castle, the snowy mountains and Elsa’s ice castle.

Large panels on either side of the stage turn with the scenes and the lighting pulls it all together for a magical experience.

The Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts has gone all out in this production and it shows. The team has succeeded in bringing the the mystical world of Arendelle to life on the stage. If your child loves Frozen, they will love this show. And what's better than live theater? Costumes are encouraged and booster seats are available. Meet Elsa and Anna in the lobby for a photo and pick up a Frozen souvenir on your way out.

The Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts, 2 E. Main St., Smithtown presents Frozen Jr. through Jan. 17 with a special sensory sensitive performance on Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. All seats are $25. To order, call 631-724-3700 or visit www. smithtownpac.org.

Photos from Smithtown Animal Shelter

This week's shelter pets are Samson and Delilah, up for adoption at the Smithtown Animal Shelter. Samson is an 8-year-old, neutered male, boxer pit mix.

THEATER REVIEW

'Barnaby Saves Christmas' has a special holiday message for all

BY HEIDI SUTTON

T

he holidays have officially arrived with the return of Barnaby Saves Christmas at Theatre Three. Celebrating its 17th anniversary, the endearing musical, written

by Douglas Quattrock and Jeffrey Sanzel, tells the tale of a little elf named Barnaby and his reindeer friend Franklynne’s quest to save Christmas.

It’s Christmas Eve and Santa’s workshop is a flurry of activity as elves Sam, Crystal and Blizzard make last minute preparations before they join Santa and his reindeer in delivering presents. The newest elf, Barnaby, is busy finishing a special request from Santa — a little stuffed bear with dark blue pants, buckles on his shoes and a bright yellow vest.

When everyone else leaves on Santa’s sleigh, Barnaby soon realizes that the stuffed bear has been left behind and convinces Franklynne the littlest reindeer to help him track down Santa and give him the present.

Along the way they meet Sarah and her nephew Andrew and learn about Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, and try to foil villain S.B. Dombulbury and his partner in crime Irma's plan to steal Christmas by stuffing up all the chimneys with coal.

While the script, score and lighting are pure perfection, director Jeffrey Sanzel has added other elements to the show to keep it fresh and exciting. This year the gorgeous new costumes

by Jason Allyn take center stage with revamped choreography by Sari Feldman and the final scene is streamed live on Facebook.

This year’s stellar cast of nine adult actors put on a great show. Eric J. Hughes is back as Barnaby, a little elf “whose dreams are twice his size.” Sari Feldman returns as a feisty

Franklynne, a role that was originally written for her back in 2004. Jason Furnari (the original Barnaby) is hilarious in the role of head elf Sam while newcomers Josie McSwane (Blizzard the Elf) and counterpart Katie Lemmen (Crystal the Elf) spend most of their time being hypnotized by S.B. (Spoiled Brat) Dombulbury (an incredible Steven Uihlein). Still yearning for a song-writing career, audience favorite Dana Bush is back as Irma for the 17th year in a row.

Rounding out the cast, a phenomenal Phyllis March reprises her dual role as the forgetful Mrs. Claus and Sarah and newcomer Finn MacDevitt tackles the role of Andrew and Santa Claus with ease.

The most wonderful parts of the show are the musical numbers by Douglas Quattrock with special mention to Hughes’ solo “Still With a Ribbon on Top,” “Miracles” by March (accompanied on guitar by MacDevitt) and the rousing finale, “Wouldn’t You Like to Be Like Barnaby?”

With the special message that Christmas lies within our hearts, the show spreads holiday cheer for children and adults alike. Add this one to your wish list.

Souvenir elves and reindeer are available for purchase before the show and during intermission and the entire cast will be in the lobby after the show for photos.

Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jefferson presents Barnaby Saves Christmas through Dec. 26. Children’s theater continues with Puss-InBoots from Jan. 15 to Feb. 5, 2022 and a brand new production of Dorothy’s Adventures in Oz from Feb. 23 to March 26, 2022. All seats are $10. To order, call 631-928-9100 or visit www. theatrethree.com.

SBU SPORTSWEEK TOMORROW IS FRIDAY – WEAR RED ON CAMPUS!

NOV. 25 TO DEC. 1, 2021

STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

Women's hoops extends winning streak to five

The Stony Brook women's basketball team continued its red-hot start to the Ashley Langford era, holding off Iona on the road to earn a 53-46 win at the Hynes Athletics Center on Nov. 20.

Leighah-Amori Wool and Earlette Scott led the way, with the two combining for 31 points and six of Stony Brook's seven triples on the afternoon.

India Pagan finished one point short of a double-double, hauling in a game-high 11 rebounds to go along with nine points.

The Seawolves' lead was cut to one with 1:56 to go, but they were able to hold Iona off the board the rest of the way, scoring the game's final six points to make sure the fifth-straight victory was secured.

Head Coach Ashley Langford has now taken the Seawolves to 5-0 in her first five games at the helm. She improves her record as the first head coach in Stony Brook women's basketball history to begin her career at 5-0, and has the team tying their best start to a season since 2017-18 when the team also began 5-0.

The Seawolves have held their last two opponents to under 50 points scored.

Wool led the way with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including going 3-of-4 from deep including a three-pointer with 14 seconds left to hold off Iona's comeback.

She also pulled down five boards.

Pagan finished just shy of a doubledouble with nine points and 11 rebounds, and moved into 13th-place on the alltime scoring list with 1,148 points scored, passing Janet Travis (1,144). Pagan is also now 12 rebounds away from tying Brittany Snow for ninth-place in career rebounds.

Scott finished second on the team with 15 points on 4-of-10 shooting, going 3-of5 from beyond the arc, and 4-of-6 from the free-throw line. She pulled down five rebounds, dished out two assists, and added three blocks.

Senior guard Annie Warren helped facilitate the offense, scoring seven points, put up a team-high three assists, while also grabbing five rebounds in a teamhigh 37 minutes on the court. Warren is eight made three-pointers away from tying Theresa LoParrino for eighth all-time.

work down low, grabbing eight rebounds in 20 minutes of play.

"We had a good test today. Iona was physical, resilient, and executed their game plan well. I am proud of our team's defensive effort - it won us the game. I'm also very pleased with our ability to remain poised during the fourth quarter to get a road win," said head coach Ashley Langford.

"I thought Leighah and E-Scotty made huge offensive plays in the fourth quarter when we needed it. India and Kelis were active on the glass and we needed every extra possession we could get. Annie and Gigi struggled shooting today, but both continued to be solid defensively and Gigi made great decisions during the last two minutes of the game. Again, I am proud that we had a collective effort from everyone and players are stepping up when necessary," she said.

The team played one more game before the Thanksgiving holiday, taking on Columbia at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 24 afternoon in New York City. Results were not available as of press time.

The Stony Brook University men's cross-country team registered a fourthplace finish at the ECAC Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Nov. 20.

Colin Ross (pictured above) led the way placing second with Carlos Santos following closely behind in third place.

Ross and Santos were joined in the top 50 by teammates Nick Cipolla, Timothy Weber, Ryan Dearie, and Eric Shu, aiding the Seawolves to a top five men's finish.

Ross took second as he crossed the finish line in 25:23. He ran at an average 1K pace of 3:11. Santos placed third as he crossed the finish line closely behind Ross in 25:24 and ran the same average 1K pace of 3:11. Cipolla secured a top 25 finish by placing 20th as he clocked a time of 26:05.

Weber, Dearie, and Shu all finished the race in the top 50. Weber finished in 36th with a time of 26:34. Dearie took 40th with his time of 26:41 and Shu crossed the line in 26:53 to take 49th place.

"Today for the most part was a worthwhile exercise as we nearly came with away with 2 individual titles. Fiona and Colin fell just short of the win. The team's performances were solid. We mainly competed on the men's side to give the guys that didn't compete at the conference and regional meets plus the freshmen one more run over the 8k distance go gain experience for next fall," said head coach Andrew Ronan.
