Reputation For Excellence. Commitment To Value.

County plans forum to discuss legalized marijuana BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County is seeking community input as New York state inches closer to potentially becoming the 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana use. The county Legislature, with both the Health and Public Safety committees, will hold a public hearing Monday, Feb. 25, at 6:30 p.m., where members of the community are invited to share their thoughts on the potential impact of legalized cannabis. “[There are] so many considerations that surround legalizing recreational marijuana,” Legislature Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) said in a press release. “This is a new industry that will impact society at every level.” Though acknowledging that legalization could potentially bring revenue to the county, Gregory is more concerned of how legislation of marijuana could empower the black market. He said he is in favor of the continued decriminalization of marijuana, pointing to studies that show minorities are more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than others. Chair of the Health Committee Dr. William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) said he agrees with Gregory on decriminalization of marijuana and said it is important to inform the public on this issue. “We have to do our due diligence,” Spencer said. “There are a lot of logistical issues and

concerns we have to address.” Gregory said the legislators are entering uncharted territory and want to make sure they hear all sides of the issue and explore all angles. They also want to be prepared should this matter come before the county Legislature. “It is important for the sake of regional consistency that, if possible, local governments have a unified approach, and in that spirit I look forward to hearing from our residents and local leaders,” the presiding officer said. “For decades it was drilled into [people’s] heads that this is bad.” Spencer said he is personally against the legalization of recreational marijuana, reasoning there should be a significant amount of time given over preparedness for something like this. He added despite the significant impact legalization would have on the county, it could also have unforeseen consequences, especially concerning both hard and soft drug use. “We are in the middle of an opioid addiction crisis and we have seen a rise in vaping in young people,” he said. Spencer is also concerned about people driving under the influence of marijuana. “This is new territory, it will have an impact on many people’s lives,” Spencer said. “It’s important that we as a community understand this and are prepared.” The hearing will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the county Legislature’s William H. Rogers Building, located at 725 Veterans Memorial Highway in Smithtown.

Henry L. “Hank” Olsen died Jan. 9 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Olsen was born in New York City Feb. 6, 1928, and lived in Norway in his early childhood years. He returned to New York and served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. After being honorably discharged he married the love of his life, Florence, to whom he was wed for 70 years. Florence preceded Olsen’s death in 2017. Olsen loved the outdoors and enjoyed many trips with family by camping, boating, hunting and fishing. He served as a Boy Scout troop leader for Troop 201 in the 1960s, and for most his career worked in the insurance industry before retiring as a marine surveyor in 2006. Olsen was a guitarist, musician and entertainer. He loved an audience playing at family gatherings as well as those who listened when he played professionally on weekends. He was a devoted husband and father who always provided for his family. Olsen is survived by his children Steven H. Olsen (Leigh), Christopher Olsen (Lorraine), Dianne Greco (Richard); and his three grandchildren Isla Olsen, Jonathan Greco and Eric Olsen. The memorial is to be held at Moloney Funeral Home located at 523 Route 112, Port Jefferson Station Feb. 16 from 2 to 4 p.m.

The burial will be held at Calverton National Cemetery Feb. 18. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be given to Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org.

Wading River

Potential solar battery contests with local farm Energy developer promises to maintain rural facade facing road, but local civic is wary of project

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

residents who were concerned homes might increase the burden on the Shoreham-Wading River school district. Originally Bail had invited TradeWind to give talks to the civic at its meeting in April, though after listening to more feedback from the community, he said he would withdraw from that meeting and tell the developer to focus on other properties such as the unused site that was once the Shoreham nuclear power plant. “I’m just getting it’s the wrong location in reaction from other people,” Bail said. “I’ve also had some second thoughts about this.” For years, New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has set lofty goals for New York’s renewable energy production, particularly to have 50 percent of the state’s energy consumed to be renewable energy by 2030. In January, during his State of the State address, the governor announced the adoption of a Green New Deal to promote projects and jobs in the renewable energy economy. The area has been a focal point for renewable energy under this state initiation. Two solar farms are already soaking up the sun’s rays in neighboring Shoreham: one, a 9.5-megawatt array on a former sod farm along Route 25A, and another 24.9-megawatt array on the former Tallgrass golf course. While solar panels have existed for years, renewable energy storage facilities are much less prolific. The closest existing structure currently operates in East Hampton, though that property only has a 5-megawatt capacity whose facility takes up less than one acre. The Wading River facility would have a much larger capacity and

need a larger footprint, according to Bail. Brookhaven town Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) said the prospective location is close to the area’s power lines and the LIPA electrical substation, which is why the prospective developers are looking closely at the Wading River property. Because the technology is so new, Bonner said TradeWind and the property owner will likely have to work closely with the town, and it might require a zoning change

ATTENTION Miller Place, Rocky Point & Shoreham-Wading River School District Residents

Pursuant to New York State Education Law, requests for non-public school transportation for the 2019–20 school year must be submitted or postmarked to your home school district by no later than April 1, 2019. A new request must be submitted each year for each child. It is strongly recommended that anyone even considering sending their child to a nonpublic school in September 2019 file an application for transportation with their home school district by April 1st. Failure to do so will result in the denial of your late request. For additional information and to obtain an application please call: • Miller Place School District: 631–474–2700 ext. 730 8:30 am–3:30 pm • Rocky Point School District: 631–849–7162 8 am–4 pm

• Shoreham-Wading River School District: 631–821–8127 8 am–4 pm

On 11 acres of farmland in Wading River, the cross section between green living and green energy is coming to a head as developers are looking to install a solar energy storage facility. “There are going to be days when the sun doesn’t shine, and the wind doesn’t blow,” said Rocky Point-based attorney Steve Losquadro, who is representing the developer TradeWind Energy and property owners Manzi Homes East construction company in Rocky Point. “If you’re truly committed to renewable energy you have to have storage. Otherwise, the whole thing doesn’t work.” The 11-acre Bakewicz Farms property, located along Route 25A in Wading River down the road from Shoreham-Wading River High School, is run by the Bakewicz family. Justin Bakewicz, who helps run the farm along with his mother, Marianne, said he built the farm up for two years, from selling hanging baskets to now growing crops and raising livestock. It was his dream to live that rural lifestyle since he was a kid spending time on his grandfather’s farm in Southampton. “I put my blood, sweat and tears into this farm,” Bakewicz said. The land is already zoned for residential, and Losquadro said it already has preliminary approval from the Town of Brookhaven for a subdivision of 14 single-family homes. The attorney stressed new homes could lead to more traffic along the often-traveled corridor, along with concerns over nitrogen pollution from cesspools and a tax impact from the potential new students residences bring. This development would also mean the complete elimination of any farm property. Losquadro said, due to feedback from locals, they are planning to draft up plans of the property that would shield the station from view with trees and accommodate a section of farmland in the front of the property to maintain that rural feel. “This is the only path they could use to keep the farm,” Losquadro said. Sid Bail, the president of the Wading River Civic Association, said he has heard from

similar to what was done with the solar farms in Shoreham, which maintained residential zoning but received 20-year zone overlays allowing for the arrays. She has heard from residents on both sides of the issue. Some locals raised concerns about the loss of farmland and potential noise from converters at the facility, while others are all for the idea, especially in the promise of reducing traffic on the often-congested state road. “People don’t want houses because they don’t want traffic, some say they will miss the farm, but I have gotten complaints about traffic from the farm,” Bonner said. “You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” At a Wading River civic meeting Jan. 24, Bakewicz was asked what his thoughts on the potential facility were. “I wish we had another year to stay here,” he said, adding the family is trying to work out a deal to create a farm on some property in Center Moriches, and he would need time to set up that deal. “I threw my hands up and said, ‘I have handcuffs on because my hands are tied.’”

Miller Place Panthers takes down rival Rocky Point in league tournament in his match against Sayville which he won 6-5. With this victory, Miller Place is qualified to send 15 wrestlers to the Suffolk D1 Championships at Suffolk Community College Brentwood Feb. 9-10. Kaszubski said those young men on the team are already at peak performance, and all they have to do now is mentally prepare. “There’s not much training left to do — their cardio is great, and they are just a strong, technical team,” the wrestling coach said. “If everybody wrestles to their best, we could have some top wrestlers in the county.”

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Miller Place Panthers wrestling team were at it again, cinching a League VI dual meet tournament Feb. 2 at Sayville High School for their third league win in four years. “We knew going into the league tournament the kids had a strong game,” head coach Matt Kaszubski said. “Even though our team was very young, we had been working for 12 months, and everyone put in effort.” During the 2018-19 wrestling season Miller Place has gone 5-1 in league, only being beat by Rocky Point in a Dec. 12 matchup. The Eagles are currently at six wins and no losses in their league standings. Going into the tournament, the Miller Place wrestling coach knew Rocky Point would be a tough nut to crack. The Panthers got their revenge over the weekend as they scored a total of 253.5 points by the end of the tournament, barely edging out the Eagles at 241. Both teams scored 70 points or more than Islip, which placed third at a total of 171 points. “It was amazing to watch, as Rocky Point is one of the best in the county,” Kaszubski said. Miller Place suffered a few injuries on their

road to the league tournament, including senior James Rado, who had knee surgery in December and was only cleared to wrestle a week before the tournament. The tournament brought forward eight Miller Place finalists and two champions. Juniors Alex

Constantis and Kyle Klein Jr. both took home the league champion title. Klein, in particular, celebrated his 100th career victory in January. The junior also showed his skill during the league tournament when he scored a reversal in the final seconds

Mount Sinai star athlete leaps to top in nation BY KARINA GERRY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

For the second time this season, Mount Sinai senior Kenneth Wei knows what it’s like to be No. 1 in the country for the long jump. The Mount Sinai senior jumped 25 feet, the current record in the nation for this year, Feb. 3, at the Section XI Small School County Championship at the Suffolk County Community College campus in Brentwood. Earlier in the season, Wei held the long jump record with 24 feet when he competed at the Molloy Stanner Games at the Armory Track & Field Center in New York City. “It was really adrenaline pumping,” Wei said about the experience of competing at such a level. “Your heart’s racing, it’s really exciting.” Eric Giorlando, the Mustangs head track & field coach, proudly pointed out Wei’s other accomplishments at the recent meet, including beating the No. 2 athlete in the country during the 55-meter hurdles head to head and was named Male Athlete of the Meet. “It’s an experience that you hope to obtain sometime in your career,” Giorlando said. “It was a pretty big day overall, not just achieving the No. 1 spot in the long jump but to have

that meet, in general, it was a pretty powerful moment.” Giorlando, who has been coaching at Mount Sinai since 2002, has been working side by side with Wei since the beginning. “Kenny has always done everything that we’ve asked him to do,” Giorlando said. “He probably runs more than the traditional long jumper or triple jumper — he’s kind of been easy to coach and understanding of my philosophy of how to get him to that point.”

Wei has been competing at the varsity level since eighth grade when an assistant coach saw him jump for a basketball in gym class. The long jumper got serious about winning titles last year where he started hitting the weight room. Last season Wei began to see the effects of his hard work with his multiple titles, but despite all the success this year, Giorlando doesn’t think the soon-to-graduate senior has come close to reaching his potential. “I think he has a lot of room to go,” Giorlando

said. “It’s about being patient and understanding that it’s a long road ahead of us — we’re not looking for county titles or state titles at this point, we’re looking for a national title.” Wei’s goal is to place at Nationals in March where he hopes to compete in two events: the 55-meter hurdles and long jump. Despite the pressure of being a nationally recognized athlete, the nerves don’t really get to him anymore. “Especially since last year I feel like the nerves have kind of calmed down a little bit, and I just really try to enjoy the run, enjoy the meet and enjoy the atmosphere,” Wei said. His coach can’t think of a time that he has ever seen Wei frazzled, even under the most immense pressure. “Always laser focused,” Giorlando said. “Always knows what needs to be done, and I’d say about 99 percent of the time he is able to achieve those things.” Wei, who is headed to MIT in the fall, plans on competing for their track & field team because of his passion for the sport. “My big thing is to encourage people to pursue their passions,” the star athlete said. “And this is one of mine. It’s a big part of my life now, and running with the team competing is a lot of fun, and I hope to keep doing it.”

Really getting to know a neighborhood requires a little extra time and attention. TEST DRIVE YOUR COMMUTE Before deciding on a new home, take a test drive of your potential commute. How far are you willing to drive back and forth to work each day? It can be easy to assume an answer to this question, but it is en-

tirely different to actually live it. The “perfect” place may not seem so perfect if you don’t feel like you spend much time there. TAKE A WALK AFTER SCHOOL Walking your new potential neighborhood is a great way to get a feel for it. Take your stroll soon after schools get out and see how many children are walking around, how

traffic picks up (or doesn’t), and just generally how active your neighbors are during the day. Are there restaurants, cafes or shops near by? A lot of through traffic? All these things will help you gauge the atmosphere in the neighborhood. COUNT ‘FOR SALE’ SIGNS Drive through the streets of a neighborhood and count the number of “for sale” and “foreclosure”

signs. Are there multiple signs down a single street? While this could just be a coincidence in terms of changes of life circumstances for a group of neighbors, this also could be a sign of a potential issue. You want to be sure you are investing in a stable neighborhood – not one that is about to turn a corner. Greenshoot Media

Opinion

Editorial

Having the pot talk

Over time, parents have learned to have conversations with their kids about drug use — whether they should not use at all or to use responsibly. With New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) stating his hope to pass legislation to legalize recreational marijuana during his recent 2019 State of the State address — something that has been in the works for years — we think the time is right to discuss marijuana use in the same way we do with cigarettes or alcohol. While laws will likely prevent minors from buying the drug, legalizing means, in general, it will be easier to find, and parents may need to remind teenagers that just because something is for sale, just as with other drugs, it doesn’t mean they can or should purchase it. Of course, what’s available at parties always comes into play. Many times, parents may have the talk about alcohol with their children, stressing that their judgment can easily be impaired after only a drink or two, but do they include that smoking a joint can do the same? Just like with alcohol, it’s not safe to drive a car or operate machinery after using marijuana, as it can impair judgment, motor coordination and reaction time. The sage advice from parents that they would rather have their children wake them in the middle of the night with a phone call asking to be picked up at a party than having them get behind the wheel after drinking — or in a car with someone who has been — would apply to marijuana use as well. Besides waking up mom or dad, there are always the options of sleeping in the house where the party is taking place, getting a ride from a designated driver, or getting a cab or Uber. That’s a golden rule that even adults need to abide by as driving while impaired by a drug in New York state can lead to a $500 to $1,000 fine, a license suspension for at least six months and a possible oneyear jail term. If marijuana is legalized, being over the age limit will mean smoking or eating edible cannabis will become a choice, rather than a secretive, unlawful vice. And if recreational use of pot becomes legal, due to the danger of impairment, despite the new law, many employers may still have random drug testing — something for people to consider as they seek employment. If state officials legalize the recreational use of marijuana, there will be something else in common with cigarettes. While many may think smoking a joint doesn’t cause the same health problems as cigarettes, according to the American Lung Association, smoking marijuana can still pose a risk to lung health. To help with discussions about pot use, residents can find out what’s on the minds of others Feb. 25 when the Suffolk County Legislature invites people to share their thoughts about legalizing recreational marijuana at a public hearing at the William H. Rogers Building in Smithtown. We at TBR News Media will be there. With the possibility of New York becoming the 11th state to legalize recreational use of marijuana, it’s time for parents to get ahead of any problems by discussing drug use with their children.

Letters to the editor

U.S. Senate minority leader should negotiate Most states that have a U.S. Senate minority leader benefit from their senator reaching this position of power. Now, this position is not as powerful as the Senate majority leader, but nevertheless still controls senate’s execution of law by holding the key to having 60 votes, which allows most laws to pass. Having our Sen. Chuck Schumer leading his party’s Democratic caucus, its sole mission is to resist all actions by President Donald Trump (R).

That is fine when your focus is to stop all laws passing, but what it does is to give up his strong position at the negotiating table to make concessions for things the administration wants. Schumer is more interested in winning accolades from his big Democratic donors rather than achieving benefits for his New York citizens. I see that our New York senator has signed on to a group to lobby for, or eliminate, the caps on the state and local tax deductions of $10,000.

Well, Mr. Minority Leader, what happens when you pick up the phone and dial the president and say you would be open to a $5.7 billion request for his barrier/wall in a trade for Trump’s help in reinstating the SALT deduction? So, when you are filing your income taxes by April, thank Trump and the ever-shrinking minority leader. Philip Nicholas Port Jefferson

Views relating to the border situation I would like to respond to the TBR News Media editorial from Jan. 10 titled “Bridges, not walls.” It is interesting that the editorial states that the president was “fact checked,” yet failed to mention some important facts relating to the border situation. Consider the fact that depending on the source you believe there are estimates of between 11 to 22 million people in this country illegally. Just for some perspective, that is somewhere between almost double the entire population of Long Island — more than 7.8 million in 2017 — and compares with the 2018 population of the entire state of New York, which was almost 20 million, according to Wikipedia. Clearly, the border security measures proposed by both parties over the years have not been effective. I know visa overstays have contributed to this problem as

well. However, that does not mean a physical border barrier of some type is not a necessary component of any comprehensive border security plan. Just as our schools have secured their entrances with physical barriers — locks and vestibules — first, in addition to technology and staff, it is reasonable to do the same at our border. Another fact not mentioned is the MS-13 gang problem that has devastated Long Island, where more than two dozen murders have occurred since 2010 of mostly young minority victims. That is not a “manufactured crisis” as some other letter writers have called it. It is real people dying like the four young men slaughtered in a park approximately 12 miles from the Three Village area. Is that overlooked because it doesn’t fit a certain ideology to acknowledge? God forbid that happened in Avalon Park or

West Meadow Beach, would some of my more liberal friends feel the same about border security? Would it be a “manufactured crisis” then? The MS-13 problem isn’t only on Long Island. It is happening in other parts of our country as well. Throughout this debate, all sides agree that legal immigration is a good thing for our country. Can’t we also agree that breaking our laws is never a good thing? We have been promised that our borders would be secured for decades and it never happened. This president is taking action. Whether you love him or hate him, maybe, just maybe, he can achieve what others didn’t. Let’s try to be reasonable and not use “bumper sticker” slogans like, “Bridges, not walls,” shall we? Charles Cozzolino Setauket

We wish to thank George Altemose for bringing the subject of global warming to these pages, as it is one of the most important issues facing our planet today. Although he and almost everyone else has moved on from denying that the Earth is warming, the crucial question now is what is the cause? To understand the cause of anything, it is important to gather all kinds of observations and measurements, and see if different hypotheses can explain what has been observed. Climate scientists have been doing this for the past century, and now a very large majority have concluded that the cause of the warming is increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere — the highest in 800,000 years — from the vastly increased burning of fossil fuels since the beginning of the industrial era. The

mechanism for this warming by CO2 has been understood since 1896, and detailed models of the process have improved greatly in the past years. In 2001, the models correctly predicted the warming that we have seen since then, and improved models can now give us an idea of where we will be in 30 years — and it is not good. The leaders of almost all of the nations in the world have heeded the advice of the climate scientists and agreed to try to put us on a path of decreasing the CO2 that we put into the atmosphere. One of the most important things that can be done is to temporarily use natural gas as fuel, since for the same amount of energy, it releases only half as much CO2 as does burning coal or oil. Weaning the economy from oil is much harder. More efficient vehicles will help but the real solution is to switch

to electric vehicles that will ultimately get their energy from renewable, clean sources to make electricity. These transitions will not be easy, and there will be costs, but there are also tremendous opportunities for businesses to open up new markets for new products. Any plan must also include ways to help those whose livelihood is displaced by changing sources of energy. But one thing is absolutely clear: For the good of the world and for the future of our grandchildren, we must do it, no matter that our president and others substitute their gut feelings for facts and rationality. Gene Sprouse and Peter Bond Editor’s note: The authors are both retired physicists who teach an Osher Lifelong Learning Institute workshop at Stony Brook University that includes energy and climate change issues.

Not exactly a fairy tale evening

h, Cinderella. The glass slipper. The handsome prince. A story that even frustrated, annoyed, irritable teenagers can love, right? That’s what we thought when we bought the tickets. My wife and I enjoy good music, lyrical singing and creative costumes. So we ﬁgured we’d share some of that with our teenage children before we pack them up and ship them off to D. None the next chapter of their lives. of the above The outing BY DANIEL DUNAIEF started out with such promise. I drove my teenagers to meet my wife. We connected with her outside a garage, where she used her parking pass to get us into a building several

blocks from the show. As soon as she got in the car, she could tell the mood was dark and foreboding. “What’s the matter?” she asked. “Nothing,” Angry 1 and Angry 2 muttered in unison. “Do you not want to see the show?” No answer. “Well? Would you rather go home? Dad can take you back.” No answer. “Can I please have my ticket?” my wife asked, sticking out her hand. “I will go alone.” “No,” I replied. “I want to go, too.” Walking through a city we didn’t know well, we raced to get to the theater before 7 p.m. It wasn’t easy, but we got in by 6:58 and racewalked to the door. “You can’t come in,” the usher said. We slumped our shoulders. “But it’s not 7 p.m.,” my wife observed. “Yes, but the show doesn’t start until 7:30. We’ll open the doors in a few minutes.” Funny, right? Well, no, not in the moment.

“Wait, this starts at 7:30 p.m.?” my son asked. “How long is it?” The usher informed us it was three 45-minute acts, with two 15-minute intermissions. That meant we’d get home around 11 p.m. “I have so much homework,” he lamented. We decided I would retrace our steps back to our car so he could get his backpack, order an Uber and send him on his way. I took a ticket and ran with him to the car. Fortunately, the Uber transfer went well. As I trotted back to the theater, I realized I was missing something. I called my wife. “What’s the matter?” she asked, sensing the continuing unraveling of the evening. “I can’t ﬁnd the ticket. It must have fallen out of my pocket.” “Oh no, how are you going to get in?” We talked for a moment and then I realized we could show my wife’s two tickets to the usher with whom I spoke to on the way out. Our daughter could hover near the seats. Fortunately, the usher let me return. Once the show began with frenzied music

and considerable dancing, we waited. And waited. And waited. No one spoke. No one sang. It was, to the surprise of all three of us, a ballet. Now, I know many ﬁne people who love the ballet. Just as I know many wonderful, albeit misguided, people who love the Patriots. For the three of us, however, a ballet was not only unexpected, it was also unwelcome. By the time intermission began, we were laughing. “Should we stay for the second act?” my wife asked. We stayed for another 45 minutes and left the theater. “You know, it could have been worse,” our daughter said, as we were driving back home. “Oh yeah, how?” my wife and I wondered, incredulous. “All four of us could have seen it,” she said. We chuckled as we hit every red light on the way home from the shattered glass slipper of an evening.

my sister and brother. My two nephews are at SUNY, so we are a fan club. Q: You undoubtedly travel a lot. What do you do to keep yourself healthy and protect your voice during plane trips? A: I try to stay hydrated, get enough rest. I live moderately and believe in mind over matter. And I do the same as others, trying to avoid those who are coughing on the plane. Q: I believe you grew up in a musical family, your parents both being high school music teachers. Did you always want to sing? A: It was the furthest thing from my mind! I loved horses, thought I might be a vet, or maybe the ﬁrst lady president — which has yet to happen. I had ambition, was a very good student. I always wrote music growing up. But I never heard of a woman composer so that wasn’t an option. I majored in music ed, my parents thought that was a good idea, went on to the Eastman School and Julliard. Then I fell in love with jazz. Q: Do you get nervous when you are to perform? A: I was not a gregarious person, that wasn’t my personality. I was shy. So that was one of the skills I had to learn. Q: Do you have a favorite role or composer? A: I’m not so much into favorites. Verdi,

Strauss ... Q: Do you speak other languages? A: Yes, I speak French, German, some Italian. Q: Do you need to know those languages to sing in them? A: No, there have been great singers who have not known the language they were singing in. You do not need to know the language but it is helpful. Q: You have two daughters. How did you manage the work/life balance? A: It’s hard for a working mother. You never feel you are doing anything well. You have to manage everything. It’s challenging. Fortunately I have a tremendous amount of energy and a great work ethic. Q: Did you get that from your parents? A: (Pauses.) Yes, probably. Q: Do you ever have nightmares that you had forgotten your lines? A: Yes, those kinds of nightmares like everyone else. Q: Did that ever happen? A: No. Q: Are your dreams set to music? A: Hmm, I don’t really know. Q: What else about music? A: I’m working with the National Institutes of Health. When children are exposed to music

early, their oral comprehension is increased. Studies have shown that. A major passion of the opera superstar is the intersection of music, health and neuroscience. She is artistic adviser at the Kennedy Center and has launched a collaboration with NIH — the ﬁrst of its kind between a performing arts center and the largest supporter of biomedical research in the world. She gives presentations on her concert tours with scientists, music therapists and medical professionals. She recently co-authored an article with Dr. Francis Collins, NIH director, for the Journal of the American Medical Association. Be sure to come out for the fundraising Stony Brook University Gala Saturday night, March 2, at the Staller Center. You will not only hear fabulous music. You will see one of the 21st century’s most remarkable women.

Conversing with Renée Fleming, opera superstar

s beﬁts a woman born on St. Valentine’s Day, Renée Fleming grew up to become the sweetheart of the opera world. Possessing a powerful yet silky voice, great beauty and impressive acting skills, Fleming has moved from a single dimension to any number of new musical venues, with a major role in Broadway’s “Carousel,” singing the national anthem at the 2014 Super Bowl, and innumerable appearances on television, in movies and in concerts. The opera diva will be the star attraction at Stony Brook UniBetween versity’s Gala, the you and me major fundraiser at the Staller Center BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF March 2. I’ve long known about her spectacular professional career but thought I would like to know more about the person that she is, so I had a brief, 10-minute chat with her on the phone at a hotel in Barcelona, Spain. We were time-limited to protect her voice, which is as immediately recognizable when she speaks as when she ﬁlls the Metropolitan Opera House with glorious music. Q: You are coming to Stony Brook to perform. Do you have some special connection with SUNY? A: Yes, I went to SUNY Potsdam, and so did
