“Montrachet should be drunk kneeling, with one’s head bared.”

— Alexander Dumas, 1802–1870, French novelist and playwright

The Leflaive family has been rooted in Puligny-Montrachet in eastern France since 1717, when Claude Leflaive first planted grapevines. In 1984, Olivier Leflaive launched his own company Ol-ivier Leflaive Frères with the help of his uncle Vincent and his brother Patrick. He quickly established his own reputation among Burgundy’s finest.

The majority of the wines are white, from the three presti-gious Côte de Beaune villages of Puligny-Montrachet, Chassa-gne-Montrachet and Meursault, as well as from Chablis and the Côte Chalonnaise.

At a recent press event, I had the opportunity to taste and evaluate the 2014 vintage wines; here are my tasting notes and food pairings.

Overall comments on the 2014 Bur-gundy vintage were very good to excel-lent and certainly better than the pre-vious vintages. Red wines are light to medium-bodied and meant for relatively early drinking, generally with less acid-ity than 2013. Colors are lighter, tannins lower, but they are showing marvelously now in their youth. The whites are quite fruity and well-balanced, with consider-able perfume and aromas at this early stage of development.

Bourgogne Blanc “Les Sétilles”: Bou-quet and flavor of citrus, plenty of apples, minerals and hints of vanilla with a clean aftertaste. Serve with some lightly fried squid and plenty of lemons.

Rully “Les Cloux” 1er Cru: Perfumed aroma of peaches and lime; concentrated fruit-acid flavors along with lime. Lean with good structure and great finish. Poached salmon with a dill beurre blanc sauce would work well.

Meursault: For a young wine it has a developed bouquet of oranges and spic-es; some oak and vanilla present; lovely fruit-acid balance. I would pair this wondrous flavored wine with some cold, smoked fish.

Meursault “Poruzots” 1er: Elegant bottling with good acidity, concen-tration of fruit, especially tangerine;

lively finish and long fruity aftertaste. Serve with grilled chicken loaded with fresh tarragon.

Chassagne-Mon-trachet: Lively bou-quet of apples and cit-rus; some earthiness and minerals in the mouth; plenty of fruit and a pleasing slightly tart aftertaste. Make it simple; grilled veg-etables.

Chassagne-Mon-trachet “Clos Saint Marc” 1er: Bouquet of ripe melons, oranges, and lime; lemon hints; medium-body with a

strong flavored aftertaste of citrus and Granny Smith apples. Take some pork chops, pile them high with slices of ap-ples and cinnamon and bake.

Puligny-Montrachet: Delightful aro-mas of white peaches and apples; citrus also abounds; powerful in the mouth with vanilla and hints of oak; keep for a few years. Softshell crab anyone!

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru: Everything you want from a spec-tacular, full-bodied wine; marmalade, vanilla, nuts, toast, oranges, apricot nectar; smoke, and vanilla; a spicy cit-rusy aftertaste just lingers. Just serve this wine by itself — that’s it!

Bob Lipinski, a local author, has writ-ten 10 books, including “101: Everything You Need to Know About Vodka, Gin, Rum & Tequila” (available on Amazon.com). He conducts training seminars on wine, spirits and food and is avail-able for speaking engagements. He can be reached at www.boblipinski.com OR [email protected].

with DEBRA of America. She has always felt a lot of compas-sion for those afflicted with my skin disease, having watched me and her Uncle Bob deal with its many challenges through the years. Her first year as a Young Ambassador for DEBRA, Kelly hosted a small fundraiser at the Rocky Point High School where she raised almost $500,” said McCauley in a recent email. “So, giving credit where credit is due, her dad Michael and I could not be prouder of what a kind, giving and compassion-ate young lady she has become,” she added. Last year’s event raised almost $5,000.

As they have in the past, members of Donna McCauley’s Girl Scout troop, of which Kelly is a member, will volunteer their time as servers for the break-fast. So come and “enjoy a short stack for a tall cause.”

Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for children 10 and under, and include pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs and a beverage (coffee, tea, juice or soda). There will also be a Buy-a-Chance auction with some fantastic prizes. Tick-ets can be purchased online at www.debra.org/butterfly-breakfast2016 or by calling Donna at 631-821-1573.

If you missed last year’s Butter-fly Breakfast for a Cure fundraiser in Miller Place, you’ll have another chance to attend next week. And, no, this is not a fundraiser to help butterflies. It is a fundraiser to support research of the worst dis-ease you have never heard of.

The event, to be held on Satur-day, April 23 at Applebee’s Res-taurant at 355 Route 25A with seatings from 8 to 9 a.m., will be held in support of DEBRA of America, an organization that provides assistance and educa-tion to families with children born with the genetic condition of epidermolysis bullosa.

Young people who suffer from this disease are called “butterfly children” because their skin is so fragile it blisters or tears from friction or trauma. Currently, there is no treatment or cure for this disease.

Although this event if often associated with Rocky Point resi-dent Donna McCauley, she wants to make it clear that her daughter Kelly is the driving force behind the fundraiser.

He grew up in Greece and has explored how water moves around everything from fish to river beds to the supporting columns of bridges.

The dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Sci-ences at Stony Brook Univer-sity, Fotis Sotiropoulos has found plenty of opportunities to discuss topics that interest him in the six months since he arrived from the University of Minnesota.

Sotiropoulos recently had a storm surge meeting in New York City with a number of consultants and stakehold-ers to share ideas about how to prepare the area for every-thing from water f low storms like Hurricane Sandy to the potential effects of global warming on low-lying areas in the city and on Long Island.

“We have developed high-fidelity computational models and can recreate virtual f lood-ing events,” Sotiropoulos said. “We can simulate what a f lood will do and what its impact will be on the infrastructure.”

By using computers, he can predict the forces on build-ings if a Category 5 hurricane strikes. He can help assess the risks and suggest measures to take to reduce the impact of a damaging storm on the area.

In addition to providing insights into potential storms and acting as dean of a pro-gram that includes 3,800 un-dergraduates and more than 1,530 graduate students, Sotiropoulos is developing a computational laboratory in collaboration with the Stony Brook Institute for Advanced Computational Science.

Recently, Sotiropoulos pub-lished a paper with University of Minnesota Ph.D. student Aaron Boomsma about a topic in dispute among scientists: Do the denticles on sharks enable them to move more quickly through the water or do they slow them down?

In the journal Physics of

Fluids, Boomsma and Soti-ropoulos explored how these denticles, which are made of the same material as teeth, affected the f low of water around them.

“A lot of experiments gave conflicting results” about these denticles, said Soti-ropoulos. Using a computa-tional model and denticles from a mako shark that were collected by George Lauder, a professor of organismic and evolutionary biology at Har-vard University, Boomsma and Sotiropoulos applied nu-merical simulations to study the details of turbulent water f low around sheets of these denticles.

“We were able to show pretty conclusively that for a specific arrangement of shark denticles in these conditions that it has a detrimental ef-fect,” Sotiropoulos said. That comes as something of a sur-prise because these denticles are the natural structures that companies have copied to de-sign riblets on ship hulls and swimsuits for Olympic com-petitors that enable them to move more rapidly through the water.

“What was cool is that [peo-ple] have tried to imitate and get inspired by nature, even though nature may not have evolved to do what we thought it was do-ing,” Sotiropoulos said.

To be sure, while this study demonstrates that these denti-cles increase drag, they didn’t conclusively end the discus-sion The testing didn’t include real-life shark situations, Soti-ropoulos said, such as high-speed swimming and body re-positioning through the water.

Other scientists shared their appreciation for Sotiropoulos’ research. “He has produced seminal research results in a range of fields from civil en-gineering hydraulics to hu-man and fish biology,” Robert Street, the Campbell Profes-sor (emeritus) in the School of Engineering at Stanford Uni-versity and who served with

Sotiropoulos as a member of the external review board for the Saint Anthony Falls Labo-ratory explained in an email. Sotiropoulos “and his team have demonstrated before that if you do the calculations properly, you learn new things about the physics. For exam-ple, they have recently eluci-dated the complete details of the physics of the generation of sand dunes.”

Street expects Sotiropoulos to attract more talent to Stony Brook because he is “a natural magnet” who “exudes excite-ment.” Stony Brook staff have appreciated the energy, insight and determination he brings to the university.

Christine Cesaria, who is assisting Sotiropoulos with broader communication ini-tiatives through the College of Engineering and Applied Sci-ences, said she was exchanging emails with him while he was driving with his wife Chrisa Arcan and her mother from Minnesota. “He wanted to make sure his dean’s message was right,” she said. “He was going back and forth about his

mission” while in transit.As the new dean on the

block, Sotiropoulos said his goal is to facilitate major re-search initiatives. He applauds the university for hiring “ter-rific faculty. The people I found here are just as good or even better than at the Univer-sity of Minnesota.”

Sotiropoulos is looking to strengthen the collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory, particularly in the area of energy sustainabil-ity. He cited cyber security, ecosystem management and the future of transportation as some of the many areas in which society is undergoing changes and for which Stony Brook can play an important role. Engineering-driven med-icine with an emphasis on can-cer is another “major thrust in which we are uniquely posi-tioned to lead.”

As a child, Sotiropoulos was fascinated by surface boils in which water bubbled up for no apparent reason, even when no bridge peers were nearby. Only recently did he under-stand that sediment moves on

river beds created this bub-bling. “I remember looking at things like that and becoming fascinated,” he said. “It’s really quite rewarding now to be able to replicate that.”

Sotiropoulos is living in temporary housing in Old Field with Arcan, who is an assistant professor in the Nu-trition Division of the Fam-ily, Population and Preventive Medicine at the Stony Brook University School of Medi-cine. Arcan focuses her work on combating childhood obe-sity and health disparities.

Sotiropoulos, whose son Alexander is a freshman at Purdue in Lafayette, Indiana, studying electrical and com-puter engineering, said he feels comfortable living near the water. “It’s in my genes,” he said.

As for his work, Sotiropou-los, who plans to add a few graduate students in his lab, feels energized in his new job and said he has “unique opportunities to do some ground-breaking, cutting-edge research that addresses major societal challenges.”

In 1907 a graduate student at Colum-bia University, Fernandus Payne, did a project supervised by his mentor, T.H. Morgan. He spent two years growing fruit flies in the dark. That’s 69 genera-tions of fruit flies (or about 1,500 years if it were done on humans). Payne tested samples every 10 generations and found there was no change in eye color, a robust red, and there was no change in the flies’ attraction to light. They moved toward light.

In 1954 at Kyoto University, Syuti Mori placed some fruit flies in darkened containers and they have been bred and raised in the dark ever since. That’s about 1,500 generations (in humans it would be about 40,000 years in the dark).

Mori wondered what changes would take place in the dark that would differ from the original control flies from which they were separated. He and his colleagues found that there were changes. The flies devel-oped larger bristles (which can detect contact with objects and sense what they are) and they developed a greater sensi-tivity to hormones that are released as sex attractants.

Mori is now retired, but his colleagues continue to follow the new generations raised in the dark. They found 84 dif-ferences in their genes and they have already detected those affecting the bristles and those affecting sex hormone production and detection. Each gene dif-ference is being isolated and its function is being worked out. They hope eventu-ally to identify those genes that are ran-dom events that have no role in the ad-aptation to living in the dark and those that do have a role to play in living in the dark. They also hope, when the project

is completed, to copy the appropriate mutations and insert them into control flies not raised in the dark, to see if these altered flies are as efficient as the 1,500th generation flies living in the dark.

This would be a nice contribution to the analysis of an evolutionary process because it would show the molecular basis for the differences between the two adaptive strains (one by selection

and the other by genetic engineering) and how they differ from flies not grown in the dark.

Long-term experi-ments are relatively rare in science, especially those that are continued after the retirement or death of the original investigator. Both Payne’s experiment, more than a century ago, and Mori’s, which is ongo-ing, show how science is limited by what it knows and by what tools are available to advance our understanding.

In 1907 Morgan and his students had not yet worked out X-linked inheritance, mapping genes or determined mutation frequency. That genes were composed of DNA was not demonstrated until 1944. That DNA provided a mechanism for how muta-tions arise was not worked out until the late 1950s. Working out complete ge-nomes of multicelled organisms did not occur until the 1990s. Inserting genes to specific places in the chromosomes was not possible until this decade. The experiments that can be done today were impossible even to imagine 100 years ago.

You Can Change, At Any Age!

“My pain has subsided consider-ably. 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

“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

“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

“…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

David M. Dunaief, M.D.Clinician, Author

and Speaker

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

Scrutinizing the cholesterol profilem e d i c a l c o m p a s s

The lipid or cholesterol profile is one of the most common batteries of blood tests. Why? Abnormal cholesterol levels may have an integral role in exacerbating a number of chronic diseases. These diseases are some of the most common, including atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) and vascular dementia. It’s even thought to be a component of age-related macular degeneration, the number one cause of vision loss in those who are at least age 60 in industrialized countries (1).

Let’s delve into the components that make up the cholesterol profile. The lip-id panel is made up of several different components. These include total choles-terol, HDL or “good cholesterol,” LDL or “bad cholesterol” and triglycerides. Many people focus more on total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL and less on triglycerides. We worry about whether the levels are high enough for HDL and are low enough for total cholesterol and LDL. Is this the proper focus? With total cholesterol and LDL, this seems to be appropriate.

But with HDL it is becoming more complicated; it is less about how high the levels are and more about the func-tionality of HDL. There are drugs that increase HDL levels, such as niacin and the fibrates, without significantly reduc-ing cardiovascular events. This was dem-onstrated in the AIM-HIGH trial (2). In this trial, niacin added to a statin drug increased HDL levels and decreased tri-glyceride levels without a change in the primary end point of cardiovascular out-comes. Thus, they were deemed less than satisfactory and the trial was abruptly ended. However, triglycerides get the short end of the stick. Just look lack of coverage in the mainstream media.

We will look at the different compo-nents of the lipid panel and the supposed roles they play in our health.

Let’s look at the research.

HDL — the good cholesterol that may not be so good

For years, when patients have been told their total cholesterol and LDL are high, they have asked if their HDL lev-els compensate for this. Of course, we in the medical community are partially to blame for fueling this thinking. More and more studies point to the importance of HDL functionality rather than the level.

In a recent study investigating a spe-cific gene variant or mutation, those who had very high levels of HDL, a mean of 106 mg/dL, and two copies of a P376L mutation, had an increased risk of heart disease (3). In a population of 300 partic-ipants with this very high level of HDL, only one had this mutation.

When the investigators broadened the number to 1,282 participants, the results were the same. Results were consistent when they looked at a meta-analysis of 300,000 participants with high HDL. Carriers of the gene mutation, meaning they had one copy instead of two, were at a 79 percent increased risk of heart disease. Those who had this gene muta-tion were mostly Ashkenazi Jews of Eu-ropean descent. The good news is that this gene mutation is rare. However, it does show that in certain circumstances, HDL is not always good.

Lest you become too relaxed about this study, since the occurrence was un-common, another study’s results showed that there is a U-shaped curve when it comes to HDL levels (4). In other words, those on the lowest and the highest ends of HDL levels had higher risk of death from both cardiovascular and noncar-diovascular death. There were associa-tions among HDL and other factors, like vegetable and fruit consumption, high blood pressure, diabetes, age and sex. Thus, HDL may not by itself be an indi-cator of heart disease death risk as sug-gested by the investigators in the trial. This was a large population-based study with over 600,000 participants.

In a third study, results showed that functionality is more important than HDL level (5). What is called the cho-lesterol-efflux capacity may be central to HDL functionality. This technique calibrates the reverse transport of choles-terol. Cholesterol is removed from a type of white blood cell in the wall of the ar-tery, put back into the bloodstream and removed by the liver. The importance of the functionality is that a higher choles-terol-efflux capacity results in a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. In other words, you may not be able to rely on HDL levels to determine cardioprotective effects.

Triglycerides should get their due

Triglycerides need their 15 minutes of fame, just like the rest of the choles-terol profile; triglycerides may be an in-dependent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In a recent study, results showed

that triglycerides are an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in those with heart disease (6). But even more in-teresting is that those with high normal levels, those between 100 and 150 mg/dL, have a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular death. In other words, those who are still within normal limits, but at the upper end, should consider re-ducing their levels.

The results also showed a dose-depen-dent curve; the higher the levels of triglyc-erides, the higher the risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Measurements used included borderline high of 150-199 mg/dL, moderately high of 200-499 mg/dL and very high of >500 mg/dL. This was a secondary prevention trial, meaning the patients already had heart disease. Unfor-tunately, a disproportionate number of patients were men, 81 percent. However, this study had a strong duration of 22 years with data based on 15,000 patients. The weakness of this trial was its inability to control for confounders such as sick-ness, treatments and cause of death. Still, this signifies that triglycerides have an important role in our health.

Triglycerides are affected by diet. The elements in the diet that raise levels in-clude sugars, grains — for some even whole grains — and starchy vegetables.

What about whole eggs? Good, bad or neutral?

Today, the debates in the medical community over eggs’ merits, detri-ments or neutrality continue. In a recent observational trial from Finland, results show that one egg a day did not increase the risk of heart disease (7). Whew, now we can put that debate behind us and eat eggs, right? NOT SO FAST! While the strength of the trial was its very impres-sive duration of 21 years, the weaknesses of the trial were huge. First, participants were asked for a four-day dietary history

at the start of the trial and then never again. It was assumed that they were eat-ing the same foods over this long time period. Second, there were no blood tests taken specifically for the study. In other words, there are no cholesterol levels for the trial. So we don’t know if one egg a day — and remember we’re making a gi-gantic assumption that they did eat one egg a day — had any negative impact on cholesterol levels. Third, this study pop-ulation did not include women. There were 1,032 men involved. Having said all this, you could try an egg a day. How-ever, I would highly recommend a physi-cian’s supervision.

In my practice, I had several patients eat two eggs a day, and their total choles-terol levels went up by approximately 100 mg/dL in one month. But this is anec-dotal data from my clinical experience.

In conclusion, don’t think you’re safe if you have a high HDL level. It is best to lower your triglycerides to below 100 mg/dL, and an effective way to do this is by reducing sugars, grains and starchy vege-tables in your diet. However, there is sub-set data suggesting that the fibrate class of drugs may have benefit in those who have triglycerides of at least 500 mg/dL (6).

Ever leave a theater feeling lighter than air? Theatre Three’s production of “Beau Jest” left me with this happy sensation I haven’t yet been able to shake.

Mary Powers masterfully directs an all-star cast in a perfectly paced stage comedy. Originally written by James Sherman, this show can best be described as a love child between “Fiddler on the Roof” and “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” And let me tell you, it makes for a beautiful combination.

Sarah Goldman, the show’s protagonist (and arguably antagonist) is the kind of girl my grandmother would have loved for me to date. Pretty, smart, successful, and most importantly ... Jewish. Like so many children she’s torn between pleasing her parents while being true to herself. Played by the hard-not-to-love Jenna Kavaler, you can’t help but sympathize with this love-struck young woman whose biggest fear is hurting the ones she loves most.

Sarah is romantically involved with a man opposite of the “nice Jewish boy” ste-reotype. Chris Kringle is a marketing ex-ecutive and Sarah’s secret boyfriend whom she hides from her overly traditional and protective family. Played with immense tal-ent by Steven Uihlein, Chris just can’t seem to catch a break. As if being named after the North Pole’s most popular resident wasn’t bad enough, he finds himself in love with

someone who cannot love him back — openly that is.

To make matters worse, Sarah finds herself hounded by her parents to the point where she invents a fake boyfriend. What started as a tiny lie quickly snowballs into an impossible to contain catastrophe. Her pretend boyfriend isn’t just Jewish, but he’s also a doctor, and a surgeon at that! Desperate to maintain the facade, Sarah hires Bob, a struggling actor turned male escort who is given the impossible task of

pretending to be Sarah’s Jewish surgeon boyfriend. Brett Chizever is brilliant in his portrayal of Bob. Chizever can best be de-scribed as a master of comedic timing and expressions. He’ll have you in stitches be-fore the show’s end.

Sarah’s mother, Miriam Goldman, is played to perfection by the hysterical and enormously talented Ginger Dalton, who was for me the highlight of the show. To say she is dramatic would be an understate-ment and a disservice to the beautifully

accurate portrayal of an overly concerned Jewish mother. Who knew a person could sigh with such fervor? Dalton offers a mag-nificent performance and is complimented perfectly by her equally talented partner Bob Kaplan who portrays her husband Abe, a Tevye-like patriarch stuck in the wrong century but nonetheless endearing.

Last, but certainly not least, is Sarah’s brother Joel, a divorced psychiatrist played by Scott Joseph Butler whose dry humor blends perfectly with this already well-rounded show. Butler’s subtle comedy is so effective and peaks in the second act dur-ing one particularly hysterical tirade.

“Beau Jest” succeeds beautifully as it es-tablishes itself as a living sitcom, complete with a live studio audience, some great inside jokes, and a cast you can’t help but fall in love with. Each knock on the door welcomes a new whirlwind of comedy, drama and beautifully scripted madness; the perfect way to spend an evening with someone you love.

Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jef-ferson, will present “Beau Jest” through May 7. Tickets range from $15 to $30. For more information, call 631-928-9100 or visit www.theatrethree.com.

Dream It... Design It... Create It...

Dream It... Design It... Create It...

By EllEn BarcEl

Spring is the time when plants in full bloom become popular gifts — there’s Easter and Mother’s Day in particular. I remember my father always bringing a plant to his mother on Mother’s Day. Sometimes events, such as showers, use potted, blooming plants as table deco-rations. But, the question becomes, how does one care for these gift plants, especially after the f lowers have faded?

◆ First, keep the plant indoors, espe-cially if it’s still cold, as long as it has flow-ers. Keep it out of drafts and in a bright location. If specific instructions come with the plant, then do follow them.

◆ While some plants can eventually be moved to your garden as the weath-er warms, not all will be cold hardy. Again, read the instructions that come with the plant.

◆ It is important to keep the leaves growing on forced bulbs, so don’t cut them down when the flowers have faded. Those leaves are producing food for the bulbs for next year.

◆ Water the gift plant as needed. Many times stores don’t always water them enough, either to keep them light weight for sale or because they just don’t think to do it. I recently received a gorgeous hyacinth plant but the soil was bone dry. The first thing I did was water it when I got it home.

◆ Select an appropriate location in your garden and, when it’s warm enough, trans-plant the gift into the soil, if appropriate.

TulipsForced tulips make great gift plants.

When they have finished blooming, move them out to the garden, but re-member the squirrels just love tulip bulbs. A friend of mine noted that she stopped trying to plant tulips in her gar-den, saying, “I might as well just hand the bulbs to the squirrels.” If you have found a way around this problem, move them into the soil so next year you’ll have a lovely display. Once the leaves have died down, usually mid-summer, they can be removed, but not before.

DaffodilsDaffodils are also very popular as

forced gift plants. They have the advan-tage of being distasteful to squirrels. I have a small clump of miniature daffo-dils that were given to me in a pot many years ago by a friend for my birthday. I planted them outside and year after year

they come back, earlier than any other daffodils, beautiful and sunny. One way of trying to keep squirrels away from your tulips is to ring the tulips with daf-fodils, sort of hiding the tulips from the hungry rodents.

HyacinthsHyacinths are known for being among

the earliest to bloom in spring and with having a beautiful, sweet scent. As with daffodils, keep the leaves growing and, once the flowers have died back, move the plant to a sunny place in the garden.

HydrangeasHydrangeas are another popular gift

plant. Check the tag that comes with the plant carefully, as not all hydrangeas are cold hardy in our area. I saw an absolute-ly gorgeous intense, blue-flowered one a number of years ago, and almost bought it, only to notice that it was cold hardy in zones 8 and above. It would not have survived our winters. However, if it’s not cold hardy, it can be used as an annual. Hydrangeas, in general, don’t like an ex-tremely sunny location, or drought, so when you move them outside, take this into consideration.

Easter liliesEaster lilies are generally cold hardy

in zones 7 and up (i.e., warmer climates), so you can try to move your Easter lilies outside into the garden. But, while this

is in theory, in practice, I’ve never had them overwinter outside, so I generally treat them as annuals.

AzaleasAzaleas are beautiful gift plants with

some added benefits. In general, they are cold hardy on Long Island, so this is a re-ally great gift for the avid gardener. If year

after year you give Mom another azalea, in just a few years, her garden will be filled with beautiful, spring-flowering shrubs. Another advantage of azaleas is that some varieties are evergreens so that they make nice foundation plantings, growing larger and filled with more flowers each year.

GardeniasThe sweet scent of a gardenia plant

draws many to it as a gift plant. Most gardenias are hardy in zones 8 to 11 (Long Island is zone 7), meaning that you can grow them outside only in the mild weather. Come autumn you must bring the plant indoors and grow it as a houseplant. This means you need to keep it potted, rather than planted in the soil. There are some varieties, ‘Kleim’s Hardy,’ for example, that claim to be hardy into zone 7, but as with Easter lilies, you’re taking a chance that they will survive our winters. I’d rather keep a beautiful gardenia as a houseplant.

So, enjoy those gift plants, but follow through appropriately.

The Smithtown Performing Arts Cen-ter took its audience on an emotional roller coaster ride Saturday night during its grip-ping opening performance of “Cabaret.”

Ronald R. Green III serves as both director and costume designer for the show, which is set in early 1930s Germa-ny, just prior to World War II. Written by Joe Masteroff, “Cabaret” is based on a play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher Isherwood, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Frank Ebb. It is among the most enduring musicals on Broadway, with its first show in No-vember 1966 leading to multiple revivals here and abroad.

“Cabaret” follows wandering nov-elist Cliff Bradshaw as he travels to Berlin in search of his next great idea. And boy, does he find it! He is quickly drawn into the raunchy, circus-like Kit Kat Klub and becomes entangled with its regulars, particularly the seductive performer Sally Bowles.

Sally Bowles is a woman who knows how to get what she wants, and she quickly wriggles her way into Cliff’s life, first by moving in with him and then by slowly winning his heart. And they’re not the only ones falling in love. Cliff’s landlady, Fräulein Schneider, is charmed by the perfect gentleman, wid-ower Herr Schultz.

Unfortunately, what begins as a shockingly funny love story grows dark as Adolf Hitler and the Nazis gain mo-mentum in Germany. The characters eventually find themselves torn apart by politics, and the show’s ending is so gut-wrenching that you can almost feel the air leave the theater.

Sally and Cliff are played by Katie Fer-retti and Brian Gill, who are both new-comers to the SCPA stage. Ferretti’s por-trayal of Sally is full of moxie, and Gill’s effort is totally believable as Cliff falls helplessly in love.

The audience is directly addressed throughout the show by a f lamboy-ant and hypnotizing emcee played by Robbie Torres. If “Cabaret” is a circus,

then Torres is its wild ringleader. As crude as his character can be, he’ll cap-ture your heart and hold on long after the show ends. Be warned, the emcee quickly transitions between several languages, and his thick accent may be hard to understand for some.

Worth particular mention in the talented supporting cast are Fräulein Schneider and Herr Schultz, who are portrayed with great tenderness by Phyl-lis March and Edward Breese. The duets featuring the couple, “Married” and “It Couldn’t Please Me More,” are the sweetest of them all.

Choreographer Danielle Coutieri en-sured that the many dance numbers in “Cabaret” were full of all the shock value and sex appeal audiences would expect from a questionable nightclub. The kick-line at the beginning of the second act was particularly fun to watch.

The orchestra is located on the set’s upper level for this show, where they are regularly visible to the audience and even become a part of the story as the Kit Kat Klub’s house band. Led by mu-sic director Melissa Coyle, the music is more than just a sound track — they are a driving force for the club and show as a whole. They play powerfully, at times almost overwhelmingly so.

While this is not a show for children, adults are bound to be thoroughly en-tertained and delighted by “Cabaret.” Just be prepared to leave the theater in stunned silence. This classic will strike you in the heart.

Smithtown Performing Arts Center, 2 East Main St., Smithtown, will pres-ent “Cabaret” through May 22. Show includes strong language, intense sex-uality and brief violence, alcohol and drug use. Running time is approxi-mately 2.5 hours with one 15-minute intermission.

The season continues with “Hairspray the Broadway Musical” from July 9 to Aug. 28, “Rent” from Sept. 10 to Oct. 2 and “Urinetown the Musical” from Oct. 15 to Nov. 6. All tickets are $35 and may be purchased by calling 631-724-3700 or visiting www.smithtownpac.org.

After a long, cold winter that has spilled into April, it’s finally time to go outside. The Ward Melville Heritage Or-ganization will host its annual Spring Appreciation Day on Saturday, April 16, at the Stony Brook Village Center for anyone who wants to get some sun and stretch his or her legs to shake off the hi-bernation of winter.

“There’s a lot going on,” Marie Gil-berti, communications manager for the Ward Melville Heritage Organization said in an interview last week. “We look forward once again to hosting this great day out in our beautiful village.”

The festivities, which begin at noon, will feature live music from the band Burke and Brenda (blues, country and Ameri-cana), a petting zoo from Rocking Horse Farm, animals up for adoption from ARF (Animal Rescue Fund) of the Hamptons, balloon artist Thoroughly Modern Lilly and radio station WALK-FM featuring Walkie Bear. There will also be a student art show titled Spring Into Art!, featuring artwork from students in the Three Village school district, in the Educational & Cul-tural Center and a kids craft area run by the WMHO Youth Corps.

The Stony Brook Village Center also features seven restaurants and over 30 stores including a cheese shop, wine store and gift and clothing boutiques that will be offering sales and specials during the event. Gilberti said that the organization is expecting “hundreds” to attend the events.

In addition, The Jazz Loft, which is located across from the Village Cen-ter at 275 Christian Ave., will be offer-ing a sneak preview from 2 to 5 p.m. ahead of its official grand opening,

Springtime and jazz to be celebrated in Stony Brook Village WMHO to host Spring

Appreciation Day

which is slated for some time in May. The 6,000-square-foot, two-floor space will feature live music on both floors, as well as countless pieces of jazz memora-bilia, instruments used by jazz legends, autographed pictures, original sheet music and much more. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

“We just want the people to enjoy the subject of jazz,” Gloria Rocchio, the Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s president said in a recent interview. “It is America’s art form. It was fading but with folks like [Jazz Loft president and founder] Tom Manuel there’s a reviv-al in the interest. We’re excited to see people’s faces.”

Reached by phone, Manuel, who will be hosting the event, said that he hopes The Jazz Loft can fill a void on Long Is-land. He said if there are any jazz clubs

or museums dedicated to preserving jazz memorabilia left on Long Island he’s not aware of them. His plan is to accomplish both of those goals. During his years as a jazz historian, music educator and trum-pet player, Manuel has amassed about 10,000 pieces of jazz-related history.

Rocchio estimated that about 50 percent will be on display at a given time, though the pieces will be rotated.

According to the WMHO’s website, donations to the collections continue to pour in and include a gold-plated trum-pet belonging to Ernie Royal, an original script sent to Royal from Louis Arm-strong for a planned Broadway show and Milt Hinton’s complete music studio.

“It is extraordinary in there,” Roc-chio said about the building, which was constructed in 1909 as a firehouse and was expanded in the 1940s by Ward Melville. Rocchio said the floors are 75 years old yet look brand new. “It is a ‘wow,’” Rocchio said about walking into the Jazz Loft.

Manuel said that he envisions the new venue as being a haven for jazz lovers, and even surviving family members of early jazz musicians looking to recon-nect with the art of their loved ones. Manuel said the last few posts on Face-book about the event garnered around 1,500 responses.

“This has been my dream for such a long time,” Manuel said. “The place will definitely be alive with the sound of jazz.”

Admission to the sneak peak at The Jazz Loft is $7 per person, children un-der 12 free; all other Spring Appreciation Day events are free of charge. For more information, call 631-751-2244 or visit www.wmho.org.

SBU SPORTSWEEKStony Brook UniverSity Tomorrow is Friday — wear red on campus!April 14-April 20, 2016

Rogers, Hughes lift SBU over PrincetonSenior Challen Rogers scored a season-

high four goals as the Stony Brook men’s lacrosse team held off Princeton University, 13-10, Saturday at Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium.

Senior Chris Hughes set a career-high with four assists.

Juniors Alex Corpolongo and Ryan Bitz-er and senior Brody Eastwood added two goals apiece. Senior Matt Schultz tallied a goal and two assists.

The Seawolves (9-2) have won nine of their first 11 games for a second straight year.

Gavin McBride had three goals and an assist for Princeton (2-7).

“We’re having a good season and we’ve

got a good crew in there,” Stony Brook head coach Jim Nagle said. “They scored some goals in bunches today, but I thought the big difference was Challen’s extra-man goal that gave us some breathing room. It’s a big win for this program and it was an honor to come down and play a program with a lot of history and tradition.”

Stony Brook built leads of 7-2 and 11-7, but Princeton rallied to get within a goal twice. After Zach Currier got the Tigers to within 11-10, the Seawolves won the draw. A Princeton caused turnover was negated by having too many men on the field and gave Stony Brook its fourth extra-man op-portunity of the game. Rogers, from the top right side of the box, scored to make it 12-10.

“Princeton came hard at us and played with a lot of pride,” Rogers said. “They’ve had a difficult week, so we knew they were going to play with a lot of freedom. We expected a great game and got one. When we have opportunities on the man up, we want to score.”

Stony Brook was 2-for-4 on extra-man opportunities. Senior Zach Oliveri and sophomore Brandon Maciejewski com-bined to make 10 saves.

“Zach and the defense always do a great job of setting the tone in the first half,” Ma-ciejewski said. “I thought our defense did a great job of forcing them into some tough shots, which made my job a lot easier.”

Oliveri recorded six saves in the first half.“I thought it was a great team effort to-

day,” he said. “The guys battled through

Women’s lax downs UMass Lowell Baseball splits double-header, takes series

The Stony Brook baseball team split a doubleheader at the University of Hartford on Saturday afternoon to win the America East Conference series at Fiondella Field.

The Seawolves (14-13, 5-2 AE) fell to the Hawks (20-8, 5-4 AE) 9-5 in game one and earned a 2-0 victory in game two.

Stony Brook received a solid pitching performance in game two behind the arms of freshman right-handed pitcher Bret Clarke and sophomore left-handed pitcher Teddy Rodliff. Clarke started and went 4.1 innings, scattering five hits to re-cord the win, while Rodliff retired all sev-en batters he faced and picked up the save.

Offensively, senior second baseman

Jack Parenty posted five hits on the after-noon with a 4-for-5 performance in game one and went 1-for-3 in the second game. Senior first baseman Johnny Caputo and freshman catcher Sean Buckhout each had a pair of hits in game two.

“The guys did a great job of bouncing back after the game one setback to take the series over a very good Hartford club,” Stony Brook head coach Matt Senk said.

Hartford, who was shut out in game one of the series on Friday, struck early and posted five runs in the bottom of the first inning to take control of the game. Hawks’ senior Chris DelDebbio led the charge with a three-run home run.

Junior Courtney Murphy tied a pro-gram single-game record with nine goals as the Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team defeated the University of Massachusetts Lowell, 23-2, Saturday afternoon at Wick-ed Blue Field. With the win, the Seawolves earned their seventh straight victory. Stony Brook improves to 9-3 and 3-0 in America East, while UMass Lowell falls to 1-12 and 0-4 in conference play.

Murphy tied Demmianne Cook’s mark from 2013 with a nine-goal afternoon. Eight of Murphy’s nine tallies came in the first half. Murphy leads the nation with 4.67 goals per game and has 56 total goals for the year.

Sophomore Kylie Ohlmiller added three goals and five assists along with three ground balls. Junior Kristin Yevoli, sophomore Emily Marlow, and fresh-

men Kasey Mitchell and Keri McCarthy scored two goals apiece. Juniors Dorrien Van Dyke and Sam Jaffe, and sophomore Samantha DiSalvo each added a tally. The goal by Jaffe was the first of her career.

McCarthy tallied 11 draw controls, which is tied for second-most in a single game in program history. Freshman Anna Tesoriero recorded four saves in a scoreless first half. Senior Maegan Meritz tallied the first two points of her career with a pair of assists.

The 23 goals are a single-game program record, surpassing a total of 22 set on three occasions.

Stony Brook has outscored its oppo-nents, 92-28, over its last five games.

The Seawolves will host the University of New Hampshire on Saturday, April 16, at 2 p.m.

some adversity, but we stuck together.”The Seawolves finished with 13 goals on

27 shots. Stony Brook scored seven goals on 12 shots in the first half.

Freshman Ryland Rees recorded two ground balls and three caused turnovers. Rogers tallied his 10th career hat trick. Hughes had recorded three assists in two of

the last three games. Eastwood recorded his first multigoal game since March 26. Junior Jay Lindsay scored his third career goal. Eastwood is nine goals away from breaking Jordan McBride’s school record of 175.

Stony Brook hosted Marist College in a midweek contest Tuesday, but results were not available by press time.

On Sunday, April 17, The Whaling Mu-seum & Education Center in Cold Spring Harbor will try to do its part in spreading knowledge and awareness about humani-ty’s impact on the Long Island Sound. The museum is hosting SOUNDoff, a brand new event that will feature activities for marine enthusiasts of all ages including science experiments, water monitoring, art exhibits and a touch tank featuring oysters, sea stars, horseshoe crabs and hermit crabs.

Nomi Dayan, the executive director of the Whaling Museum, said that the goal of the event is to be fun and interactive for kids, while also being informative.

“SOUNDoff is [being held] basically [because] we want visitors to understand how to protect the waters around us,” Dayan said in a phone interview. “These are our neighbors that inhabit the waters.”

A press release from the museum high-lighted the importance of appreciation and preservation for the large body of wa-ter that neighbors the North Shore.

“The Long Island Sound is an amazing natural resource providing economic and recreational benefits to millions of people while also providing habitat for more than 1,200 invertebrates, 170 species of fish and dozens of species of migratory birds,” the release said.

Representatives from the Cornell Co-operative Extension, Seatuck Environ-mental Association and The Waterfront

Center will all be on hand at the event to host workshops, conduct experiments and educate visitors about the importance of keeping that water clean. They will lead mock water sample tests with kids, give a presentation on marine debris and anoth-er on storm water management presenta-tion to name a few of the various activities in store for attendees.

“There are a lot of pressures and threats against the Sound today, so it’s really up to us to keep it clean,” Dayan said. “It is a growing problem every year, especially on Long Island. Whatever we put in the water really will come back to haunt us.”

Dayan mentioned the types of fertiliz-ers used on lawns, avoiding facial moistur-izers containing micro beads and picking up after pets as some of the every day ad-justments that Long Islanders can make to improve the overall health of the Sound.

According to the release, the event was partially funded by a grant from Long Is-land Sound Futures Fund, which pools funds from the U.S. Environmental Pro-tection Agency, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and The U.S. Fish and Wild-life Service.

“This event is poised to have an impact through the rest of the summer months as Long Islanders get ready to hit the beach-es, spend time on boats and fertilize their lawns,” Dayan said in the release about the lasting impact she hopes the event will have on those who attend.

Admission to the event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., is free. The Whal-ing Museum is located at 301 Main Street in Cold Spring Harbor. For more informa-tion, call 631-367-3418.

Save the date!The Port Jefferson Village Center, 101A E. Broadway, Port Jefferson, will

host a Sunday afternoon puppet show, “The 3 Little Pigs” on Sunday, May 1, at 1 p.m. Best suited for ages 2 to 8. Meet the puppets after the show! Presented by Little Foot Productions. Tickets are $5 per person. For additional informa-tion, call 631-473-4778.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Start now.

By Giselle Barkley

In 1996, the Lewis Oliver Farm’s Friends of the Farm in Northport held its first barn dance. Twenty years later, the not-for profit is still letting Long Is-landers move to the beat for its annual barn dance fundraiser to be held on Saturday, April 16, at the St. Philip Neri Parish Center in the village.

For members of Friends of the Farm, the dance isn’t simply a tradition but also provides funds for its approximately 60 animals. According to the organization, the dance was specifically created to help care for the farm animals.

While the 100-year-old farm used to produce butter and eggs in its prime, the organization now provides sanc-tuary-like care for Annabelle the cow, Tiny the pig, sheep Bitsie and Pepper, alpacas Ezra and Onyx, chickens, goats, rabbits, turkeys and more. The funds also help preserve the farm, which has been an area attraction for Northport community members.

“You see little boys and they’re play-ing ball and they’re independent and they want to get an ice cream,” said Wendy Er-landson, president of Friends of the Farm. “When I was growing up in Brooklyn I could do that … there were plenty of plac-es to go but here there aren’t.”

According to Erlandson and another Friends of the Farm member, Judy, the dance is the not-for-profit’s main fund-raising event to help the farm. The duo said the farm was in jeopardy of closing 15 to 20 years ago. Now, with fundrais-ing events like the barn dance, the farm can continue to thrive and be one way for kids to learn about some of the ani-mals they see in their books.

“I think it is important to teach chil-

dren ... that [animals] don’t just appear. You just don’t push a button and there’s your animal like it is on Google,” Judy said. “You’ve got to feed it, you’ve got to wash it, you’ve got to take care of its health, oversee it … and [children] can be part of it.”

Judy added that community support is important especially since one ticket alone could pay for items like a bag of chicken feed. Erlandson said they’ve

sold around 180 tickets thus far but there’s still room for more community members.

Erlandson added that ticketholders can take a chance on raffle prizes, with baskets valued at upward of $100 each, and enjoy samples from local restau-rants including Maroni’s, Aunt Chila-da’s, Three Amigo’s, Deli 51 and Batata Cafe. Beer, wine and coffee along with dessert from Copenhagen’s Bakery will also be served during the dance.

Live music will be provided by the band Just Cause (country, rock).

This year, the Friends of the Farm has partnered with a fellow not-for-profit, Rock Can Roll Inc., which provides nonperishable items for food pantries on the Island. Residents are asked to bring a healthy nonperishable item to the event for people or pets to support the cause.

Residents who wish to attend this year’s barn dance can purchase tickets in advance for $50 or at the door for $60 per person. The Barn Dance will be held at the St. Philip Neri Parish Center at 15 Prospect St., Northport Village, from 7 to 11 p.m.

For more information or to pur-chase tickets, call Lynn at 631-757-9626 or leave a message at the farm at 631-261-6320.

unassisted.

Tiny snowflakes dance down to the ground coating the land with an endless blanket of white on a dark winter’s eve,

Joyful children with little rosy red noses and cheeks sip hot cocoa from mugs, savoring the flavor while warming up after playing out in the snow, destroying the smooth blanket that was once there,

People sled rapidly down tall, steep hills gaining momentum as they go along,

Children of all ages skate on the once lively but now frozen lake, twirling, leaping and gliding about,

Barren trees are coated with a layer of fluffy white snow making them shiver from the bitter coldness, anticipating the arrival of warm weather,

A gloom is set over the land and everything you see is colorless and asleep in the deep trance of winter,

Goodbye winter, hello spring,

As the snow melts, the warmth of the sun embraces with the ground waking up the slumbering world,

Bees buzz about while tiny, fragile flowers start budding adding some needed life and color to the scenery,

Little flowers sprout on barren trees, shed-ding fragile thin petals to the ground to make way for the rapidly approaching arrival of green leaves,

Frozen lakes unfreeze turning into water where people will soon be swimming about,

Butterflies spread apart their wings and take off like planes rushing from flower to flower, gathering sweet nectar,

The world awakens to a new light that it sheds down upon everyone.
