Save a pet and gain a friend at Save-A-Pet shelterBy Giselle Barkley

Recently, the Save-A-Pet shelter, located at 608 Rt. 112, Poet Jeffer-son Station, experienced an increase in cats with the arrival of around 20 kittens ranging in ages from 10 to 12 weeks old.

While some have already been ad-opted, the shelter still houses a variety of kittens that are looking for their for-ever homes.

According to Save-A-Pet member Susan Manolakis, kittens need to be at least two and a half pounds to be in the shelter. Until then, they spend time with foster families until they are old enough to be adopted out.

Each kitten is up-to-date with vacci-nations and has been tested and found to be negative for the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and feline HIV/AIDS (FIV). They are also spayed or neu-tered before being adopted.

The adoption fee for kittens is $120, while for healthy adult cats it is around $100. Manolakis said for senior cats it is around $50, while cats found positive for FIV or FeLV do not have an adoption fee.

The shelter requires prospective kit-ten, cat or dog owners to provide two references from people who are not related to them. Pet owners who have cats or dogs must also provide the con-tact information for their veterinarian.

The shelter will not adopt out a cat

or kitten that will be declawed or al-lowed to roam the outdoors. Since cer-tain forms of human transportation, wildlife and feral cats pose a danger to these animals, the shelter does not recommend that people let the cats or kittens go outside.

For more information on adopting any of the kittens above, please con-tact the shelter at 631-473-6333 or visit www.saveapetli.net.

Kittens, kittens everywhere!!

The Sunday Street Acoustic Series (sponsored by WUSB-FM) and The Greater Port Jefferson Arts Council will present singer/songwriter Jimmy LaFave and his band in concert on Sun-day, Aug. 2, at 7 p.m. at the Port Jeffer-son Village Center, 101A E. Broadway, Port Jefferson.

LaFave is touring in support of his great new album, The Night Tribe, tak-ing its title from the name of the band he formed in his early years in Oklahoma.

Music critic Dave Marsh says of La-Fave, “One of America’s greatest voices … he sings like one of those clear chan-nel radio stations, cutting across the night. It’s a unique instrument, with

startling range and its own peculiar sense of gravity, liable to swoop in and wreck your expectations at any instant.”

In addition to his original songs, La-Fave is an outstanding interpreter of Bob Dylan’s songs and has recorded a host of them. The Dylan songs also find their way into LaFave’s performances along with brilliant covers of songs by Townes Van Zandt, Jackson Browne and others, resulting in a seamless mix of music.

Tickets are $27 at the door, $22 in advance through July 31 at www.uni-versitycafe.org or at www.gpjac.org. For more information, call 631-632-1093 or visit www.universitycafe.org.

Every time a young person dies be-cause of a heroin overdose, I take pause and I ask myself, “What is it going to take to end this horrific epidemic? When are people going to take their heads out of the sand? When will peo-ple realize that their voices need to be raised to challenge a government that is broken and misguided and a health care system that is more fixated on fi-nance than on treatment?”

In recent months, every media out-let has done an exposé on the heroin epidemic on Long Island. Each piece has underscored that the epidemic is not getting better — but rather, is get-ting worse.

The working class person and the poor have few to no options when it comes to residential treatment for ad-dictions; the two treatment options that are free have waiting lists in the double-digit numbers.

The classic insurance company line: “fail at outpatient treatment first and then we’ll pay for a 30-day in-patient treatment program.” Parents who have insurance for outpatient treatment or can afford to pay out-of-pocket are doing this.

A record numbers of heroin and opiate addicts are failing — they are dying! These are senseless deaths that need not happen.

It is unconscio-nable that insurance companies are al-lowed to get away with murder!

Parents need to be more vigilant for their children who are trapped in the dysfunction and dis-order of addiction and other destructive behaviors. Enabling them is counterpro-ductive and basically harmful, if one is se-rious about recovery.

Every month, at least two or three families come to see me about their chil-dren who are out of control because of drug use. We talk about their son or daughter’s drug history and drug of choice. They ask me what they should do. They ask for

recommendations.When I outline what I think they

need to consider, I see panic in their eyes and realize their lack of understanding as to the seriousness of heroin addiction. From my experience as an addictions spe-cialist, most young people between the ages of 18 and 35 need long-term residential treatment, 12 to 18 months, if they have any hope of recover-ing.

What amazes me is their initial response. I have worked with young people battling heroin addiction for more than 25 years; my training and ex-perience tell me that the average heroin

addict needs long-term care if they hope to reclaim their life. After I say that, a growing number of parents be-gin to make excuses, and minimize the

seriousness of their son or daughter’s addiction.

Honestly, these parents are in de-nial. I further remind them that while their children are in treatment there are no cell phones, no computers and no access to social media. They must be focused on recovery and that is hard work.

Life on a good day is hard work; re-covery is even harder when trying to reclaim one’s life. It is a demanding process. It is one day at a time and some days it’s one minute at a time. Howev-er, I know change and transformation are possible. I see it firsthand every day, as I witness broken and wounded young men embrace the challenge and the hard work of reclaiming their lives.

As a community, we need to work harder at educating people about ad-diction and its many faces, and cre-ate a stronger community of support, compassion and concern. I am encour-aged and inspired every day by our community. It gives me hope that this epidemic one day will end!

Stony Brook University’s Seawolves may sport the color red, but our campus is getting “greener” every day.

The University is devoted to creating a more environmen-tally friendly campus by learning and imple-menting new sustain-able practices, a mis-sion sparked in 2007, when Stony Brook signed the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment. Since then, they’ve made ma-jor strides by improv-ing transportation, planting and energy-usage efforts.

These efforts put Stony Brook Univer-sity on The Princeton Review’s Green Honor Roll, a recognition given to only 24 schools. The Princeton Review also ranked Stony Brook No. 4 in its “Top 50 Green Colleges of 2015,” making this the sixth consecutive year The Princ-eton Review recognized the University.

In April 2013, the University un-veiled its state-of-the-art SBU Wolf Ride Bike Share system to provide a zero-emission commuting option on campus. Originally consisting of four solar-powered stations and 48 bicycles, the program has grown to eight stations and 63 bikes, and students have enjoyed more than 14,000 rides.

To encourage the use of alternatively

fueled vehicles, the University installed 10 electric vehicle charging stations on cam-pus. To date, more than 700 cars have been charged with a total output of 2.596 MW.

The National Arbor Day Foundation named Stony Brook Univer-sity a Tree Campus USA recipient in 2013 and 2014, recognizing our dedication to campus forestry management and environmental stewardship. The Uni-versity boasts a robust planting program, de-signed to beautify the campus and engage stu-dents, faculty and staff in learning sustainable planting techniques during the Office of Sustainability’s hands-on Growing Red Days.

The University is committed to re-ducing its energy usage by undergoing a large, interior-lighting retrofit, encom-passing more than 35 academic build-ings. The project as a whole will replace more than 55,000 interior light fixtures with new energy-efficient lamps.

With the help of students, faculty and staff, Stony Brook University will continue to develop a more eco-friendly environment, serving an ongoing goal of securing a sustainable future for the university campus, the community and the world.

Greg Monaco is the Sustainability Co-ordinator at Stony Brook University.

“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

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


Cancer, a word that for decades was whispered as taboo, has become front and center in the medical communi-ty. Cancer is the number one killer of Americans, at least those <85 years old, even ahead of cardiovascular disease (1). We have thought that diet may be an im-portant component in preventing can-cer. Is diet a plausible approach?

An article published in the New York Times, entitled “An Apple a Day and Other Myths,” questions the validity of diet in the prevention of cancer. This ar-ticle covers cancer in general, which is a huge and daunting topic. The article’s author references a comment by Walter Willet, M.D., a professor and chair of the Harvard School of Public Health’s Epi-demiology and Nutrition Department as indicating that the research is incon-sistent when it comes to fruits and veg-etables. The article goes on to state that even fiber and fats may not play signifi-cant roles in cancer.

I don’t necessarily disagree with their assessment. However, I would like to em-phasize that Dr. Willet also commented that there are no large, well-controlled diet studies. This leaves the door open for the possibility that diet does have an impact on cancer prevention. I would like to respond.

As Dr. Willet hinted, the problem with answering this question may lie with the studies themselves. The prob-lem with diet studies in cancer, in par-ticular, is that they rely mainly on either retrospective (backward-looking) or prospective (forward-looking) observa-tional studies.

Observational studies have many weaknesses. Among them is recall bias, or the ability of subjects to remember what they did. Durability is also a prob-lem; the studies are not long enough, especially with cancer, which may take decades to develop. Confounding factors and patient adherence are other chal-lenges, as are the designs and end points of the studies (2). Plus, randomized con-

trolled trials are very difficult and ex-pensive to do since it’s difficult and much less effective to reduce the thousands of compounds in food into a focus on one nutrient. Let’s look at the evidence.

The EPIC trialConsidered the largest of the nutri-

tion studies is the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). It is part of what the author is us-ing to demonstrate his point that fruits and vegetables may not be effective, at least in breast cancer. This portion of the study involved almost 300,000 women from eight different European nations (3). Results showed that there was no sig-nificant difference in breast cancer oc-currence between the highest quintile of fruit and vegetable consumption group compared to the lowest. The median du-ration was 5.4 years.

Does this study place doubt in the diet approach to cancer? Possibly, but read on. The most significant strength was its size. However, there were also many weak-nesses. The researchers were trying to minimize confounding factors, but there were eight countries involved, with many different cultures, making it almost im-possible to control. It is not clear if partic-ipants were asked what they were eating more often than at the study’s start. Risk stratification was also not clear; which women, for example, might have had a family history of the disease.

Beneficial studies with fruits and vegetables

Also using the same EPIC study, re-sults showed that fruit may have a statis-tically significant impact on lung cancer (4). Results showed that there was a 40 percent decrease in the risk of develop-ing lung cancer in those that were in the highest quintile of fruit consumption, compared to those in the lowest quintile. However, vegetables did not have an im-pact. The results were most pronounced in the northern European region. I did say the answer was complex.

Ironically, it seems that some other studies, mostly smaller studies, show potentially beneficial effects from fruits and vegetables. This may be because it is very difficult to run an intensive, well-controlled, large study.

Prostate cancerDean Ornish, M.D., a professor of

medicine at UC San Francisco Medical School, has done several well-designed pilot studies with prostate cancer. His research has a focus on how lifestyle af-fects genes. In one of the studies, results of lifestyle modifications showed a sig-nificant increase in telomere length over a five-year period (5).

Telomeres are found on the end of our chromosomes; they help prevent the cell from aging, becoming unstable and dy-ing. Shorter telomeres may have an as-sociation with diseases, such as cancer,

aging and morbidity (sickness). Interest-ingly, the better patients adhered to the lifestyle modifications, the more telo-mere growth they experienced. How-ever, in the control group, telomeres de-creased in size over time. There were 10 patients in the lifestyle (treatment) group and 25 patients in the control group — those who followed an active surveil-lance-only approach.

In an earlier study with 30 patients, there were over 500 changes in gene ex-pression in the treatment group. Of these, 453 genes were down-regulated, or turned off, and 48 genes were up-regulated, or turned on (6). The most interesting part is that these changes in gene transcription occurred over just a three-month period with lifestyle modifications.

In both studies, the patients had pros-tate cancer that was deemed at low risk of progressing into advanced or malig-nant prostate cancer. These patients had refused immediate conventional therapy including hormones, radiation and sur-gery. In both studies, the results were determined by prostate biopsy. These studies involved intensive lifestyle mod-ifications that included a low-fat, plant-based, vegetable-rich diet. But as the researchers pointed out, there is a need for larger randomized controlled trials to confirm these results.

Cruciferous vegetablesA meta-analysis involving a group of

24 case-control studies and 11 observa-tional studies, both types of observation-al trials, showed a significant reduction in colorectal cancer (7). This meta-anal-ysis looked at the effects of cruciferous vegetables, also sometimes referred to as dark-green, leafy vegetables.

In another study that involved a case-control observational design, cru-ciferous vegetables were shown to sig-nificantly decrease the risk of developing multiple cancers, including esophageal,

oral cavity/pharynx, breast, kidney and colorectal cancer (8). There was also a trend that did not reach statistical sig-nificance for preventing endometrial, prostate, liver, ovarian and pancreatic cancers. The most interesting part is that the comparison was modest, contrasting consumption of at least one cruciferous vegetable a week with none or less than one a month. However, we need large, randomized trials using cruciferous veg-etables to confirm these results.

In conclusion, it would appear that the data are mixed in terms of the effective-ness of fruit and vegetables in preventing cancer or its progression. The large stud-ies have flaws, and pilot studies require larger studies to validate them. However, imperfect as they are, there are results that indicate that diet modification may be effective in preventing cancer. I don’t think we should throw out the baby with the bath water.

There is no reason not to consume sig-nificant amounts of fruits and vegetables in the hopes that it will have positive ef-fects on preventing cancer and its pro-gression. There is no downside, especial-ly if the small studies are correct.

Olives might be salty fruits, but there is one olive that is sweet enough to steal someone’s heart. Olive is a three- to five- year-old female cat with a midnight black colored coat and amber eyes, and she is one of several cats living at the Save-A-Pet shelter in Port Jefferson Station.

This small, domestic, short hair has re-sided in the shelter for two years. On Dec. 27, 2013, her owners, whose identities were not disclosed, brought Olive into the shelter and inquired about euthanization. At the time, she was emaciated and full of ringworm. Now, two years later, the only thing stopping Olive from finding her forever home is that she has tested posi-

tive for FIV and Felv, otherwise known as feline HIV/AIDS and leukemia.

Despite her immune disorders, Olive is a healthy and friendly cat that must be kept indoors to stay healthy. Keeping her indoors means that she is less susceptible to catching a cold. Aside from providing them with a specific diet, the only draw-backs to stable cats like Olive is that a cold affects her more than a cat who is nega-tive for FIV and Felv. She is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations and is just wait-ing for you. For more information, con-tact the shelter at 631-473-6333 or visit its website at www.saveapetli.net.

Gallery North will unveil its latest ex-hibit, American Icons: Printmaking, this Friday. Co-curated by printmaker Carole Turbin and Gallery North director, Judith Levy, the exhibition celebrates the “art of the multiple” and seeks to showcase the artwork of local printmakers who utilize a variety of printmaking techniques.

American Icons: Printmaking repre-sents the range and depth of American culture, from monuments symbolizing cherished ideals and playful, popular images to the darker, even violent side of life. Printmaking is an ideal means of conveying this rich variety. In the past, printmakers used traditional tech-niques, including etching, lithography, silkscreen and woodblock printing to produce inexpensive reproductions of images or original artwork, which were designed to reach a mass audience.

In the early twentieth century, ad-vertising firms used color lithography to create idealized images of products, which reached a vast audience in new mass circulation magazines. In the twen-ty-first century, the definition of what is a print has widened enormously.

Many contemporary printmakers cre-ate one-of-a-kind images by adding hand-work to each print. Others combine tradi-tional approaches with new technologies, including photocopying, digital photog-

raphy and laser and inkjet printing. They have found exciting ways of extending their drawing techniques, playing with the mutability of images and incorporat-ing a variety of media. Contemporary printmaking has allowed artists to create more spontaneously, thereby opening the way for greater innovation in art.

“The artists showing are a diverse group, spanning different ages and interests. Work presented showcases contemporary ideas and processes in printmaking, while referencing classical printmaking techniques. The result is a rich and varied exhibition,” said Levy.

Artists featured will include Kelynn Alder, Beth Atkinson, Brenda Berkman, Ellen Coleman Izzo, Urs Koehli, Jan La-Roche, Ja Young Lee, Elizabeth Melnyc-zuk, Diane Miller, Susan Tango, Carole Turbin, Caroline Waloski and Dewayne C. Wrencher.

The exhibit will run from July 24 to Aug. 21. An art reception will be held on July 24 from 5 to 7 p.m. In addition, an ArTalk with Franklin Perrell of the Art-ful Circle and Carole Turbin will be held on Sunday, July 26, from 3 to 5 p.m.

Gallery North, 90 N. Country Road, Se-tauket, is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call 631-751-2676 or visit www.gallerynorth.com.

The famous and incisive theater critic Walter Kerr once remarked that every theatrical era has a vision. From the time of the medieval miracle plays to the so-cial significance efforts of Clifford Odets and Sidney Kingsley, there was a vision of reality, of life, of faith, of love. The secular humanist culture in which we now live has its vision: a concentration on the total, inviolable, self-importance of the individual to determine all things for him or herself.

O’Neill struggled with this in his tragedies, while in his short sea plays his characters were more “normally” human and real. His “Morning Becomes Elec-tra” was actually the Agamemnon tril-ogy of Aeschylus, “The Iceman Cometh” analysis of the human condition.

Our secular humanist culture has giv-en rise to plays like “Reasons to Be Pretty” by Neil LaBute, now in production at the Bare Bones Theater Company in North-port. The script revolves around one sin-gle f-word repeated around 5,346 times. The characters spout it interminably.

But what do the four characters “spout” about? A deep life-affecting mat-ter? An inherently flawed relationship? Life itself? No: an innocently passed re-mark by one of the four about the cor-poreal pulchritude of a female expressed politely, but causing a relationship to dis-solve volcanically.

The entire scene reminded your scribe (a former teacher) of a clutch of pubes-cent junior high school students cack-ling in front of their lockers before al-gebra class. That’s how shallow was the script. The Anglo-Saxon participle was used as comma, colon, verb and etc. in order to keep the flow of anodyne “dia-logue” moving among the four actors. Without that word the script would have disintegrated into cementlike boredom.

Adam Thompson is Greg and Gabri-elle Georgescu is his girlfriend Steph. She

is walking out on him for practically all of Act I. Neither one get to finish a sen-tence before the other tears in loudly. This banter does add a measure of realism, but when the whole thing is seen to be about a chance remark he made at a par-ty about the good looks of a friend’s girl that causes her to explode and walk out, Thompson’s method of acting as the hurt injured party confused by it all is very ef-fective. He could rant, cry, scream, pout to give individuality to the role.

The beautifully executed fist fight scene with his friend Kent, played to the hilt by JLawrence Kenny, is the most re-alistic your scribe as seen in years.

Georgescu is perfect in the role of Steph. Her screeds and interventions are masterful. She is a highly talented actress.

In the role of a security guard, Emily Ryan Reed is exceptionally outstanding. She is the only one of the four to express a range of emotions, and she does it with an intensity that was more than impressive.

Lynn Antunovich directed with a sure hand at blocking and a very skillful abil-ity to achieve realism and believability in the actors. It was arguably she who executed the intricate and intense line cutting that, despite what your scribe said about the script, gave the show the impact it needed.

The three, or was it four, flight climb to the theater was made quite worth it due to the welcome hospitality of House Manager Maureen (“Mo”) Spirn.

The Bare Bones Company is well un-der way to being the ground for new playwrights. LaBute’s effort with this one, although ankle-deep in the waters of theatrical conflict, still provides mate-rial for young, aspiring actors.

Bare Bones Theater Company, 57 Main St., Northport, will present “Reasons to Be Pretty” through Aug. 1. Warning: adult lan-guage. Tickets are $25. For more informa-tion, call 631-606-0026 or visit www.bare-bonestheater.com.

Long Island

By Rita J. Egan

Vocalist Amber Ferrari has been busy preparing a brand new show that she will debut at Port Jefferson’s Theatre Three on Aug. 1. Well known on Long Island for her brilliant “Joplin’s Pearl” production, dedicated to 60s icon Janis Joplin, this time around Ferrari has decided to take on a liv-ing legend — Madonna.

The show, titled “Material Girl Fea-turing Amber Ferrari,” will open with the singer performing songs from Adele, Heart, Alanis Morissette, Aretha Franklin and more, including a couple of her own songs. Ferrari said the second half will consist entirely of Madonna’s hits from the 80s, as well as “Vogue,” which hit the charts in 1990.

Unlike “Joplin’s Pearl,” where Ferrari wears a wig and is dressed head-to-toe like Joplin, in this show the singer will wear costumes inspired by Madonna’s famous wardrobe, but she won’t pretend to be her.

“It’s going to be more about enjoying Madonna’s fun music,” Ferrari said.

The singer said she and her husband Chris started discussing the idea of a Ma-donna show a few years ago and kept it in mind until they had some free time. The couple is excited about the fact that po-tentially they will have two productions to perform for their audiences. Ferrari is also thrilled to sing more pop songs, as op-posed to the rock songs she is known for performing.

“I wanted to pick another icon in a dif-ferent genre other than rock, because my first set is usually the majority rock ‘n roll,” the singer said.

Douglas Quattrock, director of devel-opment, and group sales and marketing coordinator at Theatre Three, has known Ferrari since they performed together in

“Woodstockmania: Woodstock in Con-cert” at the theater a decade ago. He said the audience is in for a fun night, and he knows the singer’s unique and versatile voice can handle any artist’s songs.

“It’s going to be something new, but with the same energy. She throws 120 per-cent into everything she does. She’s just amazing,” Quattrock said.

Ferrari said she grew up listening to Ma-donna and lists “Material Girl,” “Into the Groove,” “Holiday,” “Dress You Up,” “La Isla Bonita,” “Like a Virgin,” and “Express Yourself” among her favorites. She said she always thought they were dynamite songs, and she’s including all of them in the Aug. 1 production.

The singer has been busy rehearsing the last few weeks with her fellow band mem-bers, which include her husband Chris on guitar, Eddie “Yaz” Yeznach on bass and Jim Carroll on drums. At the Aug. 1 show, Ferrari and band will also be joined by Frank Centrone on keyboard, Billy Aberle on background vocals, and the singer’s fa-ther, Bob Hansen, on percussions.

In addition to rehearsals, Ferrari has been working on the costumes for the show, including an 80s-style wedding dress and outfits inspired by Madonna’s “Material Girl” gown and “Lucky Star” outfit. She invites the audience members to join in on the ‘80s fun by asking them to wear their favorite outfit from the de-cade. “I think it’s going to be a blast, and I think everyone is going to be surprised. It will take them back to the ‘80s,” Fer-rari said.

Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jef-ferson, will present “Material Girl Featur-ing Amber Ferrari” on Aug. 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $35 and may be purchased by calling 631-928-9100 or by visiting www.theatrethree.com.

By now, most gardeners know two re-straints on Suffolk gardens. Fertilizer can-not be used on lawns before April 1. It must be stopped by Nov. 1. This is to prevent excess fertilizer, which can’t be taken up by plants in the cold weather, from being washed into and polluting the water table and surrounding bodies of water.

The second rule has to do with what plants can no longer be propagated and sold in the county. This is to prevent invasive species from taking over and forcing out native plants. The Do Not Sell list details these plants.

But, in addition, there is a Management list — a list that fewer gardeners are familiar with. What exactly does Suffolk County’s Management list mean and include? The Management list refers to plants which are invasive, but not as invasive as the ones on the Do Not Sell list. Those on the Manage-ment list can be legally sold and propagat-ed in the county, but due to their invasive nature, it is recommended that they not be planted on Long Island, “especially by county agencies or for homes near natural habitats.”

Here are some that you may be familiar with or considering planting. Remember, these plants are not illegal to plant and grow, but do you really want to? They’re on the Management list for a reason.

English ivy (Hedera helix) is one that really takes over. Many years ago, when I didn’t know any better, I planted a few small plants. To this day, I’m still pulling out ivy plants. They spread like crazy, love Long Island’s climate and soil, and really take over. If I knew then what I know now, I’d never have planted them.

Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japoni-cum) is a native of Japan and China. It’s grown as an ornamental tree here. A gar-dening friend of mine planted several and was told that the tree was relatively slow growing. She was very surprised at how

quickly they grew and how large they got. It’s hardy in zones four to nine. It does well in acidic soil. The leaves turn a beautiful red color in autumn, but its aggressive na-ture makes it a problem.

Asian wisteria (Chinese and Japanese) is absolutely gorgeous, but does take over. Personally, I think it should be on the Do Not Sell list, but that’s just my opinion. Un-less you are prepared to control it by prun-ing and pulling up any volunteers, avoid this one. It does extremely well in Long Island’s climate and soil, needing little in the way of fertilizers. The vines reach for the sun, so you will sometimes see them blooming at the top of trees to which they’ve become entwined. If you must grow these wisteria, train them around a pergola or gazebo and keep the pruning shears handy.

Periwinkle (Vinca minor) has blue flow-ers and is sold as a ground cover because it spreads so easily. Consider this when de-ciding to plant — it does spread easily.

Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana or Brad-ford Pear) is a beautiful tree, which is why it has become so popular, with beautiful white flowers and intense burgundy leaves in fall. It’s relatively quick growing and is the one of the last trees to lose its leaves in fall. In addition, it is disease resistant. All in all a great tree? Well, yes and no. It’s known as a tree whose wood splits easily and it's not structurally sound — definitely not a good quality. Some produce viable seeds, so they can spread quickly.

Other common plants on the Manage-ment list include Common or European barberry, Russian olive, Morning glory, California privet, European privet, White mulberry and Kentucky bluegrass. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk’s website has a complete list of plants on the Man-agement list; visit www.ccesuffolk.org.

Seawolves earn All-Star spots in summer leaguesNicholas DiEva earned a spot in Cal Ripken game, while Teddy Rodli� competed in New England league game

Stony Brook baseball student-athletes Teddy Rodli� and Nicholas DiEva were selected to play in their respective sum-mer league’s all-star games.

Rodli� , who was a freshman this past season for the Seawolves, is on the North Division roster of the New England Col-legiate Baseball League (NECBL), while DiEva, also a freshman this past season for the Seawolves, is on the South All-Star roster of the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League.

Rodli� represented the Vermont Mountaineers in the 22nd annual NECBL All-Star game on July 19th in Sanford, Maine. Rodli� appeared in sev-en games, all in relief, with 18.2 innings pitched and 18 strikeouts, and owned a 0.96 ERA prior to the game.

DiEva represented the Alexandria Aces in the game Wednesday night in Bethesda, Maryland. DiEva had started three games for the Aces prior to that contest, and owns a 1-1 record with a 1.89 ERA in 19.9 innings of work.

SBU adds three to staffChuck Priore welcomes Edwards, Hatch and Brennan

Stony Brook head football coach Chuck Priore announced the additions of Marcus Edwards, Patrick Hatch and Kevin Brennan to his sta� .

Edwards joins Stony Brook as an as-sistant coach and will handle the wide receiver corps. He comes to Stony Brook a� er spending the 2014 season at his sec-ond stint as an assistant coach at Wag-ner College. Edwards also coached the Seahawks from 2009 to 2011 and in be-tween he served two seasons on the sta� at Bowling Green.

A 2007 graduate of the University of South Florida, Edwards collected 73 re-ceptions for 928 yards and three touch-downs during his four-year career and was a two-time Big East Academic All-Star team member. He then received his master’s degree from Wagner in 2011.

Hatch returns to the Seawolves sta�

as the assistant athletic director for play-er personnel a� er spending the past two years as the assistant coach for tight ends at Yale University. In his previous stint at Stony Brook, Hatch helped guide the Seawolves to four straight Big South con-ference titles as the defensive line coach for two of those seasons, before moving over to instruct the running backs. As the running backs coach, Hatch tutored 2012 Walter Payton Award runner-up Miguel Maysonet and fellow All-Amer-ican Brock Jackolski.

A 2006 graduate of Union College, Hatch was a four-year starter on the of-fensive line and a three-time All-Liberty League selection.

Brennan joins the Stony Brook sta� as the defensive assistant a� er spending time at both Fordham University and Bu� alo State College as a student assistant coach. He also served as a summer intern at the University of Virginia football camps.

Brennan received a history degree from Fordham in May of 2014.

K N O W L E D G E

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

When Alan Calder was young, his father used to share the world of the planets and stars with him through telescopes in their backyard. Peter Tarr, meanwhile, drew pictures in his teenage note-books of Saturn and Jupiter and saved enough money to travel to Africa aboard a ship with Neil Armstrong to view a solar eclipse.

� is past week, Calder, Tarr, and many others who have craned their necks skyward re-ceived the � rst set of clear im-ages from Pluto, a dwarf planet located more than three billion miles from Earth.

� e New Horizons space probe, which the National Aeronautics and Space Admin-istration blasted o� from Earth in 2006, beamed back the � rst pictures of a dwarf planet that had, up until recently, been considered something of a gray, icy blob.

Traveling at the speed of light, the images took four and a half hours to reach the eager eyes of astronomers and scientists around the world. Long Islanders shared the ex-citement surrounding these first close-up views of a planet named, by then 11-year old Venetia Burney, more than eight decades ago.

“Our imaginations tend to fail us” when anticipating what’s around the corner or, more precisely, billions of miles away, said Frederick Walter, a professor of astronomy who specializes in stars and teaches a solar system course at Stony Brook. Pluto “doesn’t look like any of the worlds we know.”

Astronomers have zeroed in on the 11,000 foot high ice mountains, which, NASA sci-entists said, are likely made of a combination of ice and frozen methane and nitrogen.

� e show stopper in these early images, however, was the lack of something many of them were sure would be there:

impact craters. � ese craters are like the ones that riddle the sur-face of Earth’s moon and that have also a� ected the geology of our planet.

“Some process has been resurfacing this planet, to smooth it out and get rid of whatever craters it should have,” said Deanne Rogers, an assistant professor in the De-partment of Geosciences at Stony Brook. “� at was a real surprise for me.”

At this point, any explana-tion of the process that might melt and smooth out the surface of a planet that takes 248 years to orbit the sun is speculation, Rogers added.

One such possibility is the presence of radioactive ele-ments, researchers said.

Calder, who is an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Stony Brook, said he, too, is “intrigued by what seems to be the smooth surface of the planet. � at im-plies an active geology.”

Calder’s research is in the field of star explosions. He said the images and infor-mation from Pluto wouldn’t impact his work too directly, unless scientists were able to show an interesting ratio of unexpected isotopes.

Calder said he’s looking for-ward to watching the textbooks change and seeing an alteration in the curriculum of classes on the solar system in light of the new images from the New Hori-zons satellite that are returning at such a slow pace that it will take 16 months for NASA to collect them all.

� e active geology of this distant dwarf planet suggests that “even a small cold body that far out has activity on it,” Calder said.

For Tarr, a senior science writer at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, his interest in the planets date back to his teens. Traveling aboard a boat to-ward Africa to observe a solar eclipse, Tarr rubbed elbows with author Isaac Asimov, as-

tronaut Armstrong, thousands of others interested in astron-omy and fellow teenager Neil deGrasse Tyson, who would become an astrophysicist, au-thor and director of the Hayden Planetarium.

For Tarr, some of the heroes of the Pluto images are the sci-entists who � gured out, more

than a decade ago, how to plot a course from Earth that would take the New Horizons space-cra� within 7,800 miles of Pluto.

“� e calculation that goes into the launch is an incredible achievement,” Tarr said.

For Walter, part of the ex-citement of seeing these images comes from interpreting and

understanding the unexpected parts of the picture.

“If you anticipated every-thing, you’d be doing the wrong thing,” Walter said. “Now that they’ve got these images” some of the old ideas will get “tossed out, and they’ll bring in some-thing new” to explain the lack of craters, he added.

Long Islanders celebrate Pluto’s � rst pictures

Courtesy of NASA/APL/SwRIThis view, from 478,000 miles, shows that Pluto is home to huge, 11,000-foot tall mountains, most likely com-posed of ice and frozen methane and nitrogen. The lack of impact craters suggests that Pluto’s surface is young, probably less than 100 million years old.

Courtesy of NASA/APL/SwRINew Horizons captured this stunning image, on July 13, of one of Pluto’s most dominant features, the “heart.” It’s estimated to be 1,000 miles across at its widest point and rests just above the equator. The heart’s diameter is about the same distance as from Denver to Chicago.

After being crowned Miss Teen New York International in October, Dix Hills resident Rachel Goldsmith is ready to rep-resent her state and share the stage with teens from around the globe. The New York competition was the first time the 14-year-old entered a pageant, and she is thrilled about competing at the Miss Teen International Pageant in Jacksonville, Florida on July 30 and August 1.

When she won the crown at the New York pageant, Rachel said everything was a blur to her. “It was nothing like I ever ex-perienced before,” she said.

However, the recent graduate from West Hollow Middle School is no stranger to the pageant circuit. Growing up she, along with her father Steven and broth-ers Daniel and Jonathan, would watch her mother, Lidia Szczepanowski-Goldsmith, participate in pageants and win titles such as Mrs. New York America and Mrs. New York International.

Rachel said she remembers her mother looking so beautiful on stage and think-ing to herself that she wanted to be in pag-eants, too. She also remembers how much fun the family would have traveling and attending the events.

“The whole thing was just a really posi-tive family experience. It was positive for my mom; it was positive for the future. It was amazing overall,” Rachel said.

The pageant participant said she is look-ing forward to meeting contestants from all over the United States, as well as the world, at the Miss Teen International event in Florida. She is also eager to present her platform, which is to raise awareness when it comes to teen suicide.

Rachel said she went through a rough time in middle school at first. However, she quickly learned to reach out to her parents and others. Her experience led Goldsmith to research teen depression and create the

website U Will B Ok, where teens can visit for information and to share their stories.

“Middle school is that one time where if you ask any parent or older teen, they’ll all say that, ‘Yeah, middle school is awful.’ And, it’s that time when kids don’t really know who they are — they’re still discov-ering themselves, and they are in groups and they’re trying to figure out how to treat people. There are a lot of cliques. They don’t know who they are as a person, so they need to click off of other people to feel like they belong somewhere, and sometimes around that time it’s really hard for the kids that aren’t in the cliques,” Rachel said.

Her mom understands the demands on teenagers nowadays, with their stud-ies, testing and extracurricular activi-ties. While Rachel does extremely well in school academically and is a high honor roll student, her mother said, like many young teens, she had a hard time fitting in at first. “It was very difficult at that transi-

tion time, where everyone is trying to find themselves, because she didn’t fit in any-where,” Szczepanowski-Goldsmith said.

Over the last few years, Rachel has be-come more comfortable in her own skin and said she has adapted a punk fashion sense. Her mother said when you meet her, her daughter is the epitome of what you wouldn’t expect from a beauty queen. How-ever, while her everyday style may not say pageant winner, her volunteer work does.

In addition to her website, for several years Rachel has been the teen ambassa-dor and a volunteer for the National Or-ganization for Women’s Safety Awareness Inc., where she has participated in fashion shows and sold merchandise to raise mon-ey. The pageant winner also visits veterans and organizes parties with the organiza-tion Yes We Care Inc.

Rachel, who in her spare time enjoys archery, scuba diving and watching “The Walking Dead,” dreams of one day be-

coming a special effects makeup artist for movies, where prosthetics and makeup are needed to create monsters and zom-bies. She said if that doesn’t work out, she would love to do something in a creative field such as graphic design, illustrating, marketing or journalism.

For now, Rachel directs her energy to-ward preparing for the upcoming pageant, and she said she and her mother are hav-ing a lot of fun doing so. Szczepanowski-Goldsmith says her daughter’s decision to participate in this competition has provid-ed them with more mother-daughter time. The two not only shop together to find the perfect outfits, but her mother also helps her prepare for the interview segment, sometimes even asking her questions in the car.

Rachel said she isn’t nervous about whether or not she’ll be Miss Teen Inter-national when she starts Half Hollow Hills High School East this September. She said she has learned from her mother to enjoy the overall experience of participating in pageants, including the preparation.

“You can’t just focus on the moment. You have to look at what it took to get to that point,” her mother said.

Szczepanowski-Goldsmith has also taught her daughter to go into a pageant with no expectations, and most important of all, to just be herself. “I just want her to have a positive experience. I know how wonderful and how much fun it was for me, and I think that it’s really all about the jour-ney, and I think she’s going to have a great time,” Szczepanowski-Goldsmith said.

Middle S chool Grades 6-8 • E lementar y K-5 Preschool , Toddler, Infant

By Rachel SifoRd

The circus is coming to town or to Suffolk County that is. The Cole Bros. Circus TO THE MAX show will be making several stops in our area in the next few weeks. First stop will be next to the Center Moriches High School, 313 Fro-wein Road, on July 30 and 31 with shows at 5 and 8 p.m. The troupe will then move on to Farmingville’s Pennysaver Ampitheater at Bald Hill on Aug. 1 and 2 with performanc-es at 2, 5 and 8 p.m. The final stop will be in Middle Island at 1251 Middle Country Road, on Aug. 8 and 9 with shows again at 2, 5 and 8 p.m. The Middle Island and Farmingville shows are hosted by Fire Marshal’s Benevolent Association of Brookhaven Inc. while the Center Moriches show is host-ed by the South Bay Home Association.

The shows will feature a variety of acts including the Aguilar family on the high wire, the magic of Lana & Co. complete with grand-scale illusions, feats of equilibrium, aerial ballet with Cloud Swing and, of course, clowns. Led by Max the Clown, Cole’s Clown Alley will play a hilarious Game of Throwns.

Along with elephants, Nerger’s Tigers will be show-casing Bengal and Siberian tigers, and Clever Canines will also be performing. ThunderDrome will entertain the crowd with motorcycle tricks, and the circus will fin-ish off each show with a bang, literally, with the Human Cannonball shooting out of the World’s Largest Cannon at 5g velocity.

Before every show, there is a tent raising where Cole Bros. Circus sets up 40 tons of equipment and 2,000 seats for each location. Forklifts are needed to set up colorful vinyl that rise to the top of the five-story-high king poles to create the canopy. Patrons are welcome to come to the tent raising and also to view the exotic animals before the show and to see the performers practice.

Tickets are available at www.gotothecircus.com or by calling 1-888-332-5200. General admission is $21 for adults ($16 in advance), children (ages 2-12) tickets are also $16. Free tickets for children are available on the website. General admission may be upgraded to reserved seats.
