One On One

By Katelyn Winter

Theatre Three in Port Jefferson has been a treasured fixture in the community for 47 years. Each year, the theater pres-ents a Mainstage season of musicals, plays and “A Christmas Carol” while the Sec-ond Stage serves as an intimate venue for its annual Festival of One-Act Plays and Friday Night Face Off. The theater’s Chil-dren’s Theatre presents original musicals and acting classes are offered throughout the year.

This summer, exciting events like the Sizzling Summer Concert Series and the Director’s Dinners, where you can dine with directors and designers pre-show, of-fer new ways to appreciate theater arts.

The upcoming Mainstage season has an especially personal meaning for Jeffrey Sanzel, who has been the artistic director there since 1993. I recently had the plea-sure of interviewing Sanzel in his office at Theatre Three.

What can you tell us about the upcoming Mainstage season? Are any of the shows a personal favorite, or do you have a connec-tion to them in any way?

Well, that’s an interesting question, because “A Christmas Carol” obviously I’ve made a life out of. I’ve been doing “A Christmas Carol” since 1988 so that has a very personal connection.

However, this season we’re actually doing an original play that I wrote called “Where There’s a Will.” I first wrote it 30 years ago, and a youth theater in Cleveland did it last fall. I hadn’t looked at it in 28, 29 years. The director of that company and I knew each other from the original produc-tion, so we had talked about it — I pulled it out, I did some rewrites, and they did it.

I went and saw it, and then I passed it around our staff, and people read it and said, you know, this is really worth looking at. So I’ve been in the process of rewriting it, and we’re doing that next April. So that has an incredibly personal connection for me. It kind of spans, when you look at the beginning of my career to where I am now, all of that.

Do you have any other hobbies, beyond playwriting?

No, I don’t really have any … wait, that’s not true. I started playing the uku-lele two years ago! I started taking les-sons two years ago, but that’s the first time I’ve ever had anything that is not directly related to theater.

In theater, actors wear costumes. But what’s your favorite article of clothing in your own closet?

I’m very partial to ties. I love ties, and there’s actually a story behind that. Our associate artistic director, Brent Erlanson, who actually was here before me, was an actor, a costumer, a musician, a composer and a designer — just a jack of all trades. We worked together for over 20 years. He

passed away eight years ago, but he always used to give me shirts and ties for birth-days and Christmases, because he felt my wardrobe was really drab. And he’d give me these vibrant ties, and as I mentioned he passed away.

Now we have an actor who’s worked for us, off and on over the last few years, Brett Chizever. I told him that story, so he has started to, at every opening, bring me a dif-ferent tie. So I have this whole collection that spans from Brent Erlanson to Brett Chizever, so it kind of ties the arc of my time here together.

Wow, that must be a lot of ties!It is. I mean, he started doing this a few

years ago, and originally Brett was just giv-ing me ties for the shows he was in. Then it was the shows I was directing. Now ev-ery time he comes to an opening, there’s a tie. One time he hadn’t seen me before the show, and I did the pre-show speech, and I walked off the stage and up the aisle and out stretched a hand with the tie in it.

So, in your opinion, what makes doing theater here in Port Jef-ferson so special, as opposed to someplace else?

Well, we’re part of a community. And we’re part of a tradition that was started by Jerry Friedman, and then passed onto Bradley Bing, and then to me. We have this rich history, and we’re coming up on our forty-seventh season. We’ve had thousands of people come through our doors, as per-formers, craftspeople, musicians and de-signers, as well as patrons. There’s some-thing about being in the same place, in this very cultural community, and watching things evolve over the years. This has been almost my entire adult life. I came here when I was 22, and I’m going to be 50. I’ve spent more of my life here than I haven’t.

Outside of Theatre Three, what is the best show you’ve seen recently?

I saw “Fun Home” last week, which I thought was a beautiful production. I think it’s one of the best directed, designed and acted productions I’ve seen in years. It’s ex-traordinary — what they’ve done to tell the story. The artistry is jaw-dropping, and I thought that was impressive. I try to see a lot of shows, but it can be difficult because I’m here all the time. In the last year, I saw and loved “Something Rotten,” which was pure fun. I thought it was just terrific. It was smart, and funny, and spoke volumes to the-ater people. Also “Matilda” I thought that was a glorious mess. It’s kind of all over the place, but it’s so much fun. I’ve been theater-going my whole life, but as of right now, those are the things that jump out at me.

Do you have a go-to order at any restaurant in Port Jefferson for those late hours at work?

Yes, at The Pie, the lunch special. It’s the chicken teriyaki sandwich, which is definitely my go-to.

That sounds delicious. Looking toward the future, are there any shows you’d like to direct or see on the Theatre Three stage?

Well, I’ve gotten to a lot of shows on my bucket list. I’ve gotten to do “Next to Nor-mal,” I got to do “Les Miserables” and “The Laramie Project.” As far as classics go, I love “Hello, Dolly!” We did that years ago when I was first here, and I didn’t get to direct it but that show just has a special place in my heart. There’s also a playwright Simon Grey, and I just love all his plays. He wrote one called “The Common Pursuit,” which is about academia, and I just think it’s a brilliant, beautiful play. I don’t know if it’s something we’d ever do, but as far as bucket lists go, it’s on there. And “The Madwoman of Chaillot,” by Jean Giraudoux, which I just love. I think it’s a beautiful, fantastical, dra-matic show. It’s one of those things where on the page it’s okay, but if you saw it would be so vivid, so exciting!

What do you like the most about your work at Theatre Three?

Working with actors. I think what I’ve enjoyed the most, out of anything I do, is that interaction. The dynamic of working with actors on scripts, on developing roles, on character. As a director, the real heart of the work I get to do here is that.

Theatre Three’s 47th season opens with “Legally Blonde the Musical” on September 17. In the meantime, head over to one of its Sizzling Summer Concerts, the first of which is The Ghost of Jim Morrison: The Doors Tribute Band on Friday, July 8, at 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.theatrethree.com.

By Matthew Kearns, DVM

May and June always kick off the an-nual checkup season and with all our exams, we discuss vaccines. When I talk about vaccines like distemper, rabies, ken-nel cough and Lyme, I always see a nod of understanding. However, when I bring up the leptospirosis vaccine, the quizzical look on people’s faces always reveals a lack of knowledge on this disease.

I think the reason is that as little as 10 years ago, leptospiro-sis was limited to very rural areas primarily where dogs had more of a risk of coming in contact with wildlife. The more “suburban sprawl” we see brings us (and our pets) in closer contact with the natural reservoirs of this disease.

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection caused by various strains of the Leptospi-ra bacteria. This bacte-ria is carried by many wild animals. Naturally occurring hosts are rac-coons, opossums, fox-es, skunks and various rodents. Raccoons and skunks are scavengers as much as hunters, so they will commonly venture into our yards to knock over garbage pails etc., in search of food.

It has also been estimated that approxi-mately 90 percent of rats in major cities carry leptospirosis, so it has become more of an urban threat than previously real-ized. These hosts shed, or pass, the bacte-ria in their urine, contaminating both the environment and water sources. Not only can these hosts carry the bacteria without showing symptoms of disease, they also can shed the bacteria for extended periods of time.

Once in the soil or water, the Lepto-spira bacteria is very hearty and can sur-vive for weeks to months waiting for an-other host. The bacteria can gain access to a new host through the membranes of the mouth (drinking contaminated water)

or through abrasions and cuts on the skin (from the soil). Once in the bloodstream the bacteria travels to the kidneys and starts to divide. When the bacterial num-bers are high enough, the new host will start shedding bacteria via the urine.

No specific breed of dog appears to be more susceptible or resistant to the infection. However, middle-aged dogs (as compared to young or old) and male dogs (compared to female) appear to be at higher risk. It is theorized that mid-

dle-aged male dogs are more likely to wander and get into more trouble (so far as coming in contact with a natural host).

The most common organ system affected is the kidneys, but the Leptospira bacteria can also affect the liver, lungs and cen-tral nervous system. Once the bacteria reaches the kidneys replication, as well as inflammation, dam-ages kidney cells.

The symptoms of leptospirosis can be quite general in the beginning. Anything from a drop in appe-tite and an increase in thirst to vomiting, severe lethargy and in some cases death.

The good news is that leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can be treated with antibiotics and other supportive care (IV fluids, IV medications etc.). The bad news is many times the initial infection is cleared but there is permanent damage to the kidneys.

An effective vaccine is now available to prevent this disease. So, check with your veterinarian if your dog is at risk (dogs that get out of the yard, are in con-tact with many other dogs, have wildlife nearby and standing water) and should be vaccinated. Let’s keep our dogs safe this summer.

Dr. Kearns practices veterinary medicine from his Port Jefferson office and is pictured with his son Matthew and his dog Jasmine.

On June 29, the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Muse-um in Centerport will observe the 45th anniversary of the opening of its planetarium, now known as the Charles and Helen Reichert Planetarium.

The anniversary coincides with the final stage of the planetarium’s technological update — the installation of a cutting-edge SkyLase laser light show system with entertainment programs, from Audio Visual Imagineer-ing Inc. (AVI). The planetarium’s advanced GeminiStar III system — which includes a Konica Minolta Infinium-L star projector, full-dome video and surround-sound — offers audiences a spectacular, immersive experience.

Suffolk County built the $1 million planetarium in 1971 as a way to increase visitorship and to pro-

duce operating income to supplement the museum’s original $2 million trust fund. The planetarium en-hanced the museum’s ability to carry out the science education aspect of its mission and honored William K. Vanderbilt II’s love of science and astronomy — and his use of celestial navigation when he traveled the world’s oceans in the early twentieth century.

In 1987, after welcoming more than 2.2 million visitors, the Vanderbilt refurbished the planetarium, acoustically redesigned its newly renamed Sky The-atre, and equipped it with the latest audio equipment. The planetarium classroom received a makeover, too, with the addition of a then-advanced VCR (video cas-sette recorder) and video laser-disk equipment

Then in 2013, following an extensive $4 million makeover and technological update, the Vanderbilt Planetarium became one of the finest and most ad-vanced in the United States and the largest astronomi-cal facility on Long Island. Suffolk County provided $3.9 million of the financing for the planetarium reno-vation. Private donations totaling $160,000 financed building enhancements: new theater seating; an im-proved heating, ventilation and air-conditioning sys-tem; a lobby face-lift and a new gift shop. Following the reopening, the planetarium received the most gen-erous gift in the museum’s history. Charles and Helen Reichert pledged $1.7 million over 20 years to support the planetarium, its programs and its future. In their honor, the facility was named The Charles and Helen Reichert Planetarium.

Lance Reinheimer, executive director, said, “We are especially grateful to the Reichert family, Suffolk County and private donors for their extraordinary sup-port of the Museum, its education programs, and its enduring value to Long Island.”

The Charles and Helen Reichert Planetarium, lo-cated on the grounds of the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum, 180 Little Neck Road, Centerport, offers day-time shows on Tuesday at 2 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at noon, 1, 2, 3 and 4 p.m. Evening shows are held on Fridays and Saturdays at 8, 9 and 10 p.m. Year-round viewing of the night sky (weather permit-ting), is held on Friday evenings from 9 to 10 p.m. (free with show ticket; $3 without show ticket). For more information, call 631-854-5579 or visit www.vanderbiltmuseum.org.

“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

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

Dehydration’s ripple effectsEven mild dehydration can affect cardiovascular health

David Dunaief, M.D.

Summer is officially here, accompanied by reports of above-average temperatures from around the country. Dehydration is of particular concern at this time of year. Complications can be mild to severe, rang-

ing from mood chang-es and headaches to heart palpitations, heat stroke, migraines and heart attacks.

We may be dehy-drated prior to expe-riencing symptoms of thirst. Signals and symptoms of dehydra-tion include tiredness, constipation, dry skin, dizziness or light-headedness, reduced tears and decreased or dark urine (1).

Dehydration can also be caused by medi-cations. Diuretics, which are used by many for high blood pressure, heart failure, swell-ing and other chronic disorders, are pri-mary culprits, especially in elderly patients.

There are inexpensive blood tests to help confirm mild dehydration. Simple blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine level tests are part of a basic metabolic panel. If each level on its own is high, this indicates there may be dehydration (2). If the ratio of BUN to creatinine is above 20, this is anoth-er signal that a patient may be dehydrated.

In addition, elevated sodium, potassium, urea and glucose are good indicators (3). Another way to confirm dehydration is to look at urine sodium concentrations. If they are low, it’s another red flag (2).

Headaches and migrainesTemperature is a potential trigger for

headaches and migraine. As the tempera-ture rises by intervals of 9 degrees, the risk for headache and migraines increases by 8 percent (4). This study involved 7,054 participants from one emergency room site. Warmer temperatures can potentially reduce blood volume in the body, causing dilation of the arteries, resulting in higher risk of headaches and migraines.

In another study, those who drank four cups more water had significantly fewer hours of migraine pain than those who drank less (5). Headache intensity decreased as well. Anecdotally, I had a patient who experienced a potentially de-hydration-induced migraine after playing sports in the sweltering heat of Florida. He had the classic aura and was treated with hydration, Tylenol and caffeine, which helped avoid much of the suffering.

Heart palpitationsHeart palpations are very common

and are broadly felt as a racing heart rate, skipped beat, pounding sensation or flut-tering. Dehydration and exercise are con-tributing factors (6). They occur mainly when we don’t hydrate prior to exercise. All we need to do is drink one glass of wa-ter prior to exercise and then drink dur-ing exercise to avoid palpitations. Though

these are not usually life threatening, they are anxiety producing for patients.

Cardiovascular issuesThe Adventist Health Study, an observa-

tional study, showed a dose-response curve for men (7). In other words, group one, which drank more than five glasses of water daily, had the least risk of death from heart disease than group two, which drank more than three glasses of water daily. Those in group three, which drank less than two glasses per day, saw the least amount of benefit, comparatively. For women, there was no difference between groups one and two; both fared better than group three.

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

In a recently published small study, researchers studied the effects of mild dehydration on healthy males in their 20s (8). The study used intermittent, low-intensity walking to in-duce a 2 percent hydration deficit among study partici-pants. Then, they provided a low water content diet for the remainder of the day.

Participants showed significantly impaired en-dothelial function. The endothelium is the inner lining of the blood vessels. Endothelial dysfunction can impair the balance between dilation and constriction of the blood vessels. Why is this important? This dys-function can contribute to cardiovascular events such as heart attacks. While this study involved only 10 participants, it sug-gests that even mild dehydration can have a dramatic impact on cardiovascular health.

Ways to remain hydratedHow much water we need to drink de-

pends on circumstances, such as diet, activ-ity levels, environment and other factors. It is not true necessarily that we all should be drinking eight glasses of water a day. In a review article, the authors analyzed the data but did not find adequate studies to suggest that eight glasses is supported in the literature (10). It may actually be too much for some patients.

You may also get a significant amount of water from the foods in your diet. Nutri-ent-dense diets, like the Mediterranean or DASH diets, have a plant-rich focus. A study mentions that diets with a focus on fruits and vegetables increases water consump-tion (11). As you may know, 95 percent of their weights is attributed to water. An added benefit is an increased satiety level without eating calorically dense foods.

Mood and energy levelsIn another recent study, mild dehydra-

tion resulted in decreased concentration, subdued mood, fatigue and headaches in women (9). In this small study, the mean age of participants was 23; they were neither athletes nor highly sedentary. Dehydration was caused by walking on a treadmill with or without taking a diuret-ic (water pill) prior to the exercise. The authors concluded that adequate hydra-tion was needed, especially during and after exercise.

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

The myth: Coffee is dehydrating

In a review, it was sug-gested that caffeinated cof-fee and tea don’t increase the risk of dehydration, even though caffeine is a mild diuretic (12). With moderate amounts of caf-feine, the liquid has a more hydrating effect than the diuretic effect.

Thus, it is important to stay hydrated to avoid com-plications — some are seri-ous, but all are uncomfort-able. Diet is a great way to ensure that you get the tri-ple effect of high amount of nutrients, increased hydra-tion and sense of feeling sa-tiated without calorie-dense foods. However, don’t go overboard with water con-sumption, especially if you have congestive heart fail-ure or open-angle glaucoma (13). If you overhydrate with water, you can experi-

ence similar symptoms to dehydration. It is a good idea to review your medications with your doctor for possible dehydrating side effects.

book review

‘Rhythm and Blues in New Orleans’

By Rita Egan

For those who meet John Broven, if they ask the proof-reader at the Times Beacon Record Newspapers questions about his past, the mild-man-nered Englishman may treat them to stories about the old-time record industry. For those who don’t have the opportu-nity to meet the music histo-rian, there are his three books: “Rhythm and Blues in New Or-leans,” “South to Louisiana: The Music of the Cajun Bayous” and “Record Makers and Breakers.”

Recently Broven had the opportunity to greatly revise and republish his first book “Rhythm and Blues in New Or-leans,” which was originally published in the United States in 1978 and under the title “Walking to New Orleans: The Story of R&B New Orleans” in Great Britain in 1974.

Selling more than 20,000 copies initially and inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, the book is a comprehensive history of the local rhythm and blues industry filled with information about the careers of icons such as Fats Domino, Lloyd Price, Allen Tous-saint, Dr. John and many more. A great deal of the material is derived from interviews that the author conducted himself.

Broven said it was about three years ago when the publisher, Pelican Books, ap-proached him about updating the book. While he kept the paperback to the basic rhythm and blues period of the 1940s to the 1960s, it gave him a chance to update the basic information as well as incorporate several post-1974 interviews. This edi-tion is significantly different from the original publication.

“The book is still very well respected, and I’m very pleased it’s given me the chance to say: Well, this is as up to date and as good as I can get it,” he said.

Rhythm and blues has filled the author’s life since his early years growing up in England. Broven said he started collecting records as a teenager and was fortunate to go to school with Mike Leadbitter, who launched the publication Blues Unlim-ited in 1963 along with another schoolmate Simon Napier.

He described Leadbitter as a great visionary, and when he and Napier formed the magazine, he asked Broven if he would like to write for them. The writer said he had no experience at the time and Leadbitter said to him: “You have all these records, write about them.”

It was the first international blues magazine, and Broven said he was in the right place at the right time. When the writer trav-eled to the United States with Leadbitter in 1970, they discovered numerous American artists who they felt were being forgotten.

Leadbitter said to him: “Why don’t you write a book?” The author said the original edition centered more around Fats Dom-ino, who Broven described as “a great American success story.”

Broven said he is happy he had the opportunity to write about the genre. “In general I find that Americans just don’t realize what an impact their music has had overseas and in-ternationally. Rock ’n’ roll and rhythm and blues spread from here [to] literally all over the world,” the author said.

The writer explained that, “When I wrote the book in the early 1970s, New Orleans rhythm and blues was consid-ered to be part of popular rock ’n’ roll and very few people saw the link between its jazz heri-tage, and people saw them as al-most two distinct forms. I think one of the things was to show

that there was a natural pro-gression from the jazz era into rhythm and blues and soul mu-sic. In other words, rhythm and blues is as much a part of the New Orleans heritage as jazz is,” he said.

The author said he was work-ing in banking when he wrote the original edition of the book, and after 31 years in the banking industry, he became a consultant with Ace Records of London, England.

With the record label, he traveled to locations such as New Orleans, Nashville and Los Angeles. It was during this time that he gained a deeper knowl-edge of the music business and met and interviewed more re-nowned recording artists, in-cluding B.B. King, together with many pioneering record men and women for the critically acclaimed “Record Makers and Breakers” (2009).

For the New Orleans book, Broven said he feels the inter-views have stood the test of time, and the subjects, the majority born and raised in the city, are marvelous storytellers. “I couldn’t have done it without all those great personalities and their sto-ries,” he said. Many are no longer alive, which makes the interviews even more precious, he added.

Broven has many favorite interviewees including Cosimo Matassa, the owner of three re-cording studios during his life-time. Broven credits Matassa for

giving New Orleans rhythm and blues its sound, particularly the “street” drum sound.

The author said Matassa’s studios provided a relaxed at-mosphere for artists, and, in the 1940s and 1950s, “there was not the overdubbing and multi-track recording that you’ve got now. It was almost a live perfor-mance. If someone hit a wrong note, that was the end of that take and you had to do it all over again,” he said.

Broven’s musical journey eventually brought him to the United States permanently. While working with Ace Records he met his late wife, Shelley, who he said was very supportive of his record research work. She had inherited the independent label Golden Crest Records, of Huntington Station, from her father, Clark Galehouse.

Broven said he arranged a meeting with Shelley in 1993 to discuss a licensing deal for the Wailers’ “Tall Cool One,” a Top 40 instrumental hit on her father’s label for Ace’s best-selling series, “The Golden Age of American Rock ’n’ Roll.” They were both single and soon began dating. He joked, “I always say we signed

two contracts. One was for the record and the other one was for marriage.”

When he married Shelley in 1995, he moved to the United States. The couple originally lived in Cold Spring Harbor but moved to East Setauket after two years.

For the new edition of his book, Broven will be travel-ing from Long Island to New Orleans for signings and book talks. He hopes that readers, es-pecially the younger generation, will take an interest and learn about this era of American mu-sic. He believes the music is just as good today and said, “That’s the definition of classical mu-sic.”

“As I said in the book, in the introduction, my one wish is to make people aware not only of this great music, but also to make them rush to their record collections to play all those re-cords — and if they haven’t got the records, to try and seek them out,” Broven said.

The Facts: I have always believed that trusts were for people with money and that I would not need to create a trust in my will, since my net worth is modest.

The Question: Are there circumstanc-es when someone with modest means should consider a trust?

The Answer: Absolutely! It is unfortunate that there are so many people like you who believe that trusts are only for the wealthy. As a result, steps that could be taken to ensure that assets pass only to benefi ciaries who are ma-ture, responsible and compe-tent or pass in a manner that protects the interests of ben-efi ciaries who may not meet that standard are oftentimes overlooked.

For example, if a benefi -ciary under a will suffers from alcohol abuse or is addicted to gambling and the will di-rects the executor to make an outright distribution to that individual, there is a chance that the bequest will be squan-dered or used in a manner that is detrimental to the benefi ciary.

However, if the will includes language creating a testamentary trust and dic-tates that the bequest go into that trust for the benefi t of the benefi ciary, the trustee can ensure that the trust funds are used in a manner that truly benefi ts the benefi ciary. The trustee can use trust funds to cover the cost of the benefi -ciary’s housing, food, school or medical treatment and can be given discretion to make outright distributions to the ben-efi ciary if the trustee feels doing so is in the benefi ciary’s best interest.

Clearly, by having funds go into a trust rather than being distributed out-right to a beneficiary who may have is-sues, the assets in the trust are protected and are more likely to be used in a re-sponsible manner.

In addition to creating a testamentary trust for a benefi ciary who suffers from substance abuse or an addition, testamen-tary trusts are useful when benefi ciaries are too young to handle an inheritance, when they have credit problems and/or judgments fi led against them, when they are in the midst of a divorce or when they have a habit of making poor choices when

it comes to money. Even when a benefi ciary is mature and re-sponsible, some people create testamentary trusts for such benefi ciaries to ensure that the funds passing to the benefi cia-ry will be available throughout the benefi ciary’s lifetime.

By including trusts in a will, a person can dictate ex-actly how the funds in the trust are distributed, what the trust fund can be used for and when the benefi ciary may en-joy the benefi ts of the trust. Distributions can be made annually, or when the benefi -ciary attains a certain age, or may be left entirely to the dis-cretion of the trustee.

As long as the distribution of the trust fund is not contin-gent upon events that are con-trary to public policy such as illegal activity, the person cre-

ating the trust has a great deal of latitude in dictating the terms of the trust. Since the costs associated with testamentary trusts similar to the ones described above are minimal, these trusts are appropriate even when the share of an estate passing into the trust is modest.

Trusts can take many forms and can be created to address any number of circum-stances. To ensure that you understand your options and the benefi ts of trusts, even when the value of the assets going into the trust is modest, you should consult an estate planning attorney with expertise in this area.

It seems in today’s world that any venue meant for social gathering has two hard and fast rules in common with all of the others — no outside food is allowed in, and what’s offered on hand will cost an arm and a leg. It is a truism for concerts, beaches, baseball games and even most vineyards. Pindar Vineyards is a delightful exception to the rule.

Known for its extensive variety of wines, both types and styles, the 37-year-old family-owned vineyard allows visitors to bring in outside food to accompany a day of wine tasting and sightseeing on Pindar’s 500-acre property. It might not seem like a defining feature, but it is a characteristic that paints a broader pic-ture of warmth, accommodation and overall customer service that has been a staple of the vineyard since Dan Damia-nos founded Pindar in 1979.

“We’re kind of known as that friendly vineyard,” Melissa Martin, who handles public relations for the vineyard, said in an interview in Pindar’s tasting room in Peconic last week.

“Wine is fun. We take it seriously as well,” Martin said. “We take the winemak-ing seriously. However, we understand people coming out here to visit, we want them to be more relaxed and enjoy it. I like to educate people on the notes that are in the wine. No one should feel uptight about it or afraid to ask questions.”

Damianos passed away in 2014, though his children remain a major part of the vineyard’s day-to-day operations and con-tinue to foster a welcoming atmosphere.

“Dr. Damianos, that was his thing,” Mar-tin said of his friendly demeanor and life-long dedication to making customers feel like part of the family. “He was always here and talking to everyone and very person-able, so we really want to carry that on.”

Pindar’s wines are also known for their approachability. The vineyard offers more than 20 selections currently, with an emphasis on appealing to wine drink-ers of varied experience levels. Edward Lovaas is preparing for his sixth harvest as Pindar’s winemaker.

“We have everything from wines on the sweeter side, wines on the dryer side, sparkling, red wines, dessert wines — so I think it’s pretty easy to say someone com-ing here for the first time, we make it easy for them to select the tasting they want and find a favorite,” Martin said.

The sheer size of Pindar’s tasting room and outdoor seating areas add to its ability to accommodate groups large and small. Martin said they are welcoming to bridal parties making a stop in a limo to a couple walking in just hoping to try something

new, and everything in between.Martin described what she envisions as

a perfect day at Pindar.“The perfect day at Pindar is doing a

tasting, finding your favorite wine, get-ting bottles and then finding a spot on the deck or on the pavilion or on the grass,” and that’s where allowing outside food, picnic style, sets Pindar apart, she said.

For Martin the wine of choice on said perfect day would be either Pindar Sau-vignon Blanc or Viognier for a white or Syrah in a red. Martin added she has a personal passion for finding the perfect pairing of food to go with each wine Pindar has to offer.

The vineyard frequently hosts events from live music, to visits from food trucks if picnicking isn’t appealing, to an upcom-ing event that will feature a raw bar and seafood for wine club members. In its wine shop location on Main Street in Port Jefferson, Martin has spearheaded a cup-cake and wine-pairing event. Tours are also offered on select dates of the vine-yards grounds and bottling facility for those interested in the science of wine.

The end of July is the best time to visit Pindar, according to Martin. Every year its sunflower fields bloom around that time, and this year a professional photo booth will be on hand to snap and print keepsakes for the popular annual attraction.

North Shore residents looking for a relaxing, accommodating wine and food experience should keep Pindar Vineyards in mind, for the sights, tastes and feeling.

By Talia amorosano

On the sunny afternoon of Saturday, June 18, in conjunction with the beginning of summer, the jur-ied art exhibition, Of a Botanical Nature, organized by the Smithtown Township Arts Council, opened at the Mills Pond House in St. James. For the first time this year, the general public was afforded the opportunity to immerse themselves in a gallery full of art representative of the intricacies of local and nonlocal flora.

The exhibit, which will run through July 20, fea-tures 60 works of art from 49 artists, 22 of whom hail from various nonlocal areas of the country including Pennsylvania, Colorado, Texas and Cali-fornia. The remaining 27 represent the Long Island and New York City area.

The works that appear in the show were chosen by Juror Wendy Hollender, a botanical artist, illus-trator and author who currently instructs botanical drawing classes at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. An accomplished illustrator, her work has been published in The New York Times and Good Housekeeping magazine and exhibited at the Royal Botanical Gardens in the UK and the Smith-sonian National Museum of Natural History.

Regarding Hollender’s selection process, the ex-ecutive director of STAC, Allison Cruz, said, “She really picked a broad range of artwork based in reality. She was looking more for realism, but she did take a couple of pieces that are more abstract.” Accordingly, Hollender awarded first and second place to artists whose works exemplify a command of a photorealistic style of portraying traditionally botanical subjects: respectively, Colorado-based art-ist Patricia Greenberg for her pencil drawing, “The Flower Loves the Rain,” and New York City-based artist Ingrid Finnan for her color illustration, “Blue Hubbard Squash.” These two artists will go on to participate in a winner’s show next year, which will also be held at the Mills Pond House.

Honorable mentions were awarded to Margaret Farr for various botanical illustrations, Gary Mulnix for a larger-than-life wooden sculptural representa-tion of “Lupine” and Lois Perlman for a richly satu-rated color illustration of a “Parrot Tulip.”

According to Cruz, this exhibit features a par-ticularly wide range of artistic mediums. In addition to two-dimensional works in watercolor, acrylic, oil, wash on paper and colored pencil, the show includes six three-dimensional sculptural works made of bronze, black walnut wood, glass mosaic, steel and clay, among other materials.

Subject matter depicted ranges from close-up, scientific-looking views of individual flowers or plants with monochromatic backgrounds (Kelly McLeod’s “Wilted Alstroemeria,” Kathleen Hollan’s “Autumn Leaves”), to still life images of staged in-door plants (Katherine Hiscox’s “From the Garden,” Granville C. Fairchild’s “Reaching to Heaven”), to garden landscapes (Pat Proniewski’s “Morning Aza-leas,” Carol Ceraso’s “Spring Affair”), to abstract representations of natural subjects (Lisa Conway’s “Grey Swan,” Arthur Bernstein’s “Sprout”).

However, all of the pieces in some way reflect the organic spontaneity of life in the natural world within the ordered structures of scientific classifica-tion, together forming a show that fosters an ap-preciation for the small examples of natural beauty that often go unnoticed in our day-to-day lives.

Cruz said, “There are a lot of watercolors by the nature of most of the flower illustrations, but it really is a broad range … I have everything in this show except photography and digital art. It’s a beautiful mix of media.”

Bridges exhibit opens at Gallery North

Gallery North, 90 North Country Road, Setauket, will present Bridges, an exhibition of paintings, drawings, prints and photographs of impressive and simple structures created by designers and engineers from June 23 to July 8.

A bridge as a support system provides passage over physical obstacles both in reality and in concept. Bridges are created for the public, and because of that, the design of a bridge, cre-ated to serve the public inter-est, must be efficient, economi-cal, and as elegant as possible. In addition to efficiency of the structure, a bridge must be well designed and often reflects the personal expression of the de-signer. Works presented in this exhibition reinforce the idea that bridges have a strong impact on our history and environment.

Each of the 39 local and re-gional artists included in this exhibition has created a person-al interpretation and point of view. Artists include Saul Addi-son, Brady Ambro, Ellie Berger, Renee Blank, May Brandt, Ana Castro, Stephanie Costanzo, Tad Day, Scott Farrell, Anna Fredericks, Essie Freilach, Ray Germann, Ruth Gitto, Richard Green, Jim Kelson, Jacques LeB-lanc, Kathleen E. Lee, Albert Lorenz, Antonio Masi, Kathleen McArdle, Mike McLaughlin, Richard Meek, Paula Pelletier, Joseph Rotella, Jim Sabiston, Oscar Santiago, Nick Savides, Neil Scholl, Chris Semergeff, Tony Serio, James Slezak, Ju-dith Stone, Robert Stone, An-gela Stratton, Natsuko Takami, Jeff Urkhart, Mary Waka, Deb-bie Wells and Laura Westlake.

An artist reception, gener-ously sponsored by Stephanie Gress, will be held on Thurs-day, June 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. For further information, call 631-751-2676 or visit www.gallerynorth.org.

ON OR OFF PREMISES

It is well-known that the best way to start the morning is with a balanced break-fast — it’s not called “the most important meal of the day” for nothing, after all.

Breakfast is also linked to many health benefits, including weight control and im-proved performance. Studies show that eat-ing a healthy breakfast can help you enjoy a more nutritionally complete diet that is higher in nutrients, vitamins and minerals, improved concentration and performance at the office or in the classroom, more strength and endurance and lower cholesterol levels.

The following recipes, from registered dietitian Shanna Stewart, of Wellness for the Win, can help you put your best foot forward to tackle everything the day ahead throws at you.

LEGALLY SPEAKING.

gardening

By EllEn BarcEl

One of the things that a gardener needs to do is to identify fungi on plants and take appropriate steps to control the fungi (if possible) if it is detrimental to the plant. But not all fungi will kill plants. Some just make the plant look bad. And some actu-ally are beneficial.

In the past, I’ve had several trees which didn’t survive because of fungus. My beau-tiful mimosa trees died due to a fungus (mimosa wilt) which could not be stopped at the time. Leaves turned yellow in mid-summer and dropped. The tree never sprouted the following growing season. The trees literally died within a few weeks.

A rust killed a mountain ash I had. I was really disappointed, and missed the beauti-ful orange berries the tree bore and which persisted on the tree well into winter. Mountain ash is a native of North America and has white flowers in spring.

Cedar apple rust can also be found on trees on Long Island. It particularly at-tacks cedar, apple and crabapple trees. The fruiting body develops as a brownish growth on the tree. Then orange tentacles emerge from the growth. The rust is not fatal to the tree but definitely unsightly, al-most looking like something out of a sci-fi movie. Remove the growth making sure to sterilize gardening tools afterwards, so as not to spread the pathogen to other trees.

Now for some generalities on fungal diseases and their prevention:

■ First of all, weak plants are more prone to getting a fungal disease than strong ones. So, make sure you feed and water your plants appropriately.

■ Plants that are crowded with no air circulation are also more prone to fungal diseases.

■ It’s better to water plants at ground level, especially in the evening, so leaves don’t stay wet overnight. A drip irrigation system works well sending water to the roots and not the leaves.

■ Look for fungus-resistant plants such as rust resistant apple and crabapple trees, tomatoes which are resistant to tomato

blight, roses resistant to black spot, etc. The tomato blight, for example, will pre-vent you from getting a decent crop of to-matoes. So this one definitely falls in the bad category.

■ Know that some trees are prone to the fungal disease anthracnose, but gener-ally it is more unsightly, than dangerous. Maples and catalpas in particular develop it in humid weather. The leaves look like they are covered with a white power. Un-less the tree is very old and weak it will usually survive with no treatment at all. So, this is a case of ugly, but not really dangerous. When anthracnose develops on the native dogwood (Cornus florida), how-ever, it is much more serious. This is why some recommend planting other varieties of dogwood.

■ Replace plants that are prone to fun-gal diseases with those with similar at-tributes but which don’t contract certain diseases. For example, impatiens in recent years have been attacked by a fungus. They are annuals that do well and bring color to shady areas. Instead, plant coleus which are also annuals that do well and bring color to shady areas but are not prone to fungal diseases.

■ If you see a fungus growing on a live tree, check out that tree carefully. Usually large fungi only grow on dead or dying trees. I missed this important sign a num-ber of years ago. An enormous section of one of my maple trees broke off the tree and landed across the street. An arborist gave me the bad news that my tree was dying and needed to be removed. I now check periodically to see if any large fungi are growing on my trees.

Now for the good: Some edible fungi, such as chicken fungi (Chicken of the Woods, Laetiporus sulphureus), grow on dead or dying trees or tree stumps. Be very careful here, as most fungi are not safe to eat. Make sure you check this out with an expert. Also, fungi with large, visible fruit-ing bodies help to break down dead wood, i.e., the cycle of nature, returning nutrients to the soil. Toad stools growing in the grass help to break down organic matter as well.

By Daniel Dunaief

We create buildings that climb into a sky crowded with airplanes and supersonic jets. We harness the energy of the atom, design intricate artwork, compose and perform inspirational music, travel miles below the surface of the ocean and send satellites deep into space. Sometimes, we tap into unlikely sources to learn new ways to improve our lives, even in the fight to understand and attack cancer.

Bacteria have been battling against virus-es for so long that they have evolved to dis-arm these intruders. The bacterial immune system uses a gene-editing system called CRISPR. Researchers have taken some of the CRISPR machinery from bacteria and are us-ing it in human cells. CRISPR was named the American Association for the Advancement

of Science’s Breakthrough of the Year for 2015.

Using a bacterial en-zyme called Cas9, which isn’t found naturally in humans but can be used in our genetic code, scien-tists can edit out DNA that

contributes to the proliferation of cancer.Christopher Vakoc, an associate professor

at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, has used his expertise with CRISPR to study cancer.

Starting in the fall of 2014, he and Charles Keller, the scientific director at Children’s Cancer Therapy Development In-stitute in Oregon, collaborated to study the disease rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of deadly pediatric cancer of the connective tissue that typically involves muscle cells at-tached to bones. Vakoc’s lab is using CRIS-PR to discover new vulnerabilities in RMS.

At this point, Keller has found a poten-tial treatment in animal models that shows positive results, while Vakoc has deter-mined how that specific drug is working. They have submitted their work for publi-cation in a scientific journal and are await-ing word back from reviewers.

Starting this fall, Vakoc will add Ph.D. scientist Bryan Lanning, who will try and identify new targets in RMS using CRISPR.

“It’s great to contribute more resources to this effort,” Vakoc said.

In an email, Keller detailed how “we have more insight into how the drug for rhabdo-myosarcoma works.” He credits Eric Wang from Vakoc’s lab for contributing “instru-mental” results to the early findings. Keller is “grateful for the support of [Vakoc’s] lab and the collaboration it empowers.”

At the same time, Vakoc’s lab continues to work in an area where they have made some breakthroughs with CRISPR, on a site called BRD4. Collaborating with sev-eral other labs, Vakoc showed that chemical inhibition of BRD4 provides a therapeutic

benefit in mouse models of leukemia, which has led to clinical trials in humans. Using a drug called JQ1, scientists have generated positive results with humans in Phase I of the Food and Drug Administration’s process for therapeutic approval.

“Some of the patients at tolerated doses have had complete remission,” he said. He called those early findings “encouraging.”

A major area of focus, Vakoc explained, involves continuing to try to understand on a molecular level how these drugs are working and why BRD4 is a drug target. “It was not clear in the beginning, but we are slowly revealing the special properties of BRD4,” he said.

As the tests move into the next stage, called Phase 2, an important question in order for this therapy to work, Vakoc said, is to anticipate “how we are going to over-come these resistant states.”

While he doesn’t have an answer yet, he said, he hopes a combination of agents can be more active than any one treatment individually. “A lot of what we’ve been do-ing, while we are waiting for clinical trials to get under way, is to study resistance and therapies in animal and culture models,” Vakoc said.

Vakoc and Johannes Zuber, a group leader at the Research Institute of Molecu-lar Pathology in Vienna, Austria, recently published a paper in which they outlined how some cells become resistant through nongenetic changes. As they described, the cells are rewiring gene expression without introducing new DNA. A cell can evolve to this new state, Vakoc said. In the battle to defeat the disease, this requires a readiness to defeat what he expects will be some level of resistance to this new treatment.

The inhibitors Vakoc and Zuber have worked on have “very broad and desired activity,” but to find a cure “we have to find effective combination therapies,” ex-plained Zuber, who collaborated on BRD4 projects at Cold Spring Harbor when he

was a postdoctoral researcher in Scott Lowe’s lab as early as 2008.

“Assuming that cancer drugs can be well-tolerated enough to be combined and administered as chronic therapy, I hold out hope that we can combine numerous agents and apply them upfront, based on information in the lab and real-life infor-mation from patients,” Vakoc said. This could mean a cocktail of three, four or five well-tolerated drugs that he hopes won’t increase chemotherapy toxicity.

In an email, Zuber wrote that Vakoc’s CRISPR system will allow systematic CRIS-PR screens that point toward domains and identify structures for drug development.

Vakoc lives on campus at CSHL with his wife Camila Dos Santos, who studies epi-genetic changes that occur after pregnancy. The couple is collaborating in their research. “CRISPR technology is useful for all biolo-gists and my wife is no exception,” he said.

As for his own work, Vakoc expressed an appreciation for the scientific tools bac-teria are providing.“Biologists have always been learning from naturally occurring mechanisms used by various organisms” and using them to approach a range of challenges, Vakoc explained.

LEISURE

It was an eye-opening experience for several residents at Atria Assisted Living in Huntington and students/alumni from Smithtown East and West High Schools as they shared personal stories about growing up more than 50 years ago ver-sus today.

In honor of National Older Americans Month in May, Genser Dubow Genser & Cona (GDGC), an elder law firm based in Melville, believed that bringing the groups together to exchange their stories would foster better understanding be-tween these generations ranging in age from 20 to 91. And they were right.

Moderated by Melissa Negrin-Wiener, Esq., GDGC partner, each group was asked the same questions pertaining to dating experiences, employment, fashion, school, entertainment and more.

What was most amazing to the seniors and the students was how much they ac-tually had in common with each other. Katie Umana, a student at Suffolk County Community College and graduate of Smithtown High School, explained that she thought there would be more differ-ences between them, but it turns out, they enjoy a lot of the same things like movies, dancing, dining out and more.

Both groups expressed how much they enjoyed the experience and the ease in disclosing personal stories with each other. “It was so easy to speak to the young people,” said Barbara McLough-lin, 91. “Even though we are consider-ably older, they trusted us enough to share their experiences.”

“It was cool to engage with an older generation,” said Sonia Melendez, a stu-dent at Adelphi University and graduate

of Smithtown High School. “Not only was it interesting to hear

about what they did as teenagers, but knowing how the assisted living helps them connect with what’s happening to-day, such as seeing current movies like “American Sniper,” is great,” she said.

In spite of similarities, there are dif-ferences in how they grew up. A couple of women in their 90s weren’t allowed to date as we know it today. Helen Sprance, 91, went out with one man who she later married. Lynn Tonne, 88, couldn’t date until she was 18.

Dinner and movies are common dates for the young people as they were in the past. One change with today’s teens is the girls getting an official “prom-posal,” a creative invite from the young man. An-other interesting change in the digital age is the girls posting a picture of their dress

on Facebook, which usually costs upward of $500, so no one else at their prom will wear the same one.

Education is different in many ways. Today, it is customary for girls and boys go to college. High school senior Alexis Papadopoulos is planning to be an anes-thesiologist. Another senior, Rob Grasso, wants to join the military and then study physics. Most women didn’t go beyond high school in the 1920s and ’30s. Instead, many women spent time doing chores in the house, such as dishwashing and cook-ing. It wasn’t unusual for them to make their own clothes.

If women did work outside the home, most held clerical and secretarial jobs. Atria resident Lynn, 88, did tabulating at the former Williamsburg Savings Bank in Brooklyn. Some babysat for 50 cents an hour.

According to Melendez, it is important for both generations to be familiar with the past and present. And the Story Swap is a great way to do that. She also com-mented that the program reminds you of people you have in your life that you should speak to more often. “I’m plan-ning to call my grandparents after this.”

“Although the students gained a valuable amount of knowledge by speaking with our residents, the older generation also learned a great deal about the youngsters, and gained a greater understanding of their concerns, hopes and dreams for the future and appre-ciation for making this world a better place to live,” said Sandy Brennan, community sales director, Atria Huntington.

Since both groups got so much from the Story Swap experience, GDGC is planning to sponsor another one at another assisted living community in the fall.

Assemblyman Steve Eng-lebright (D-Setauket) visited the Brewster House in Setauket last Saturday afternoon to see a production by the Ward Melville Heritage Organiza-tion Youth Corps Theatrical Troupe’s “To Spy or Not to Spy: That Is the Question!” The group gave two sold-out per-formances inside the historic Brewster House (c. 1655).

During the American Revo-lution, the house was owned by Joseph Brewster, who ran a tavern and entertained the British troops. Caleb Brewster (Joseph Brewster’s cousin) was one of George Washington’s spies.

“Performing in an authen-tic setting adds more meaning to the experience,” remarked Englebright.

To commemorate Eng-lebright’s visit, the Youth Corps presented him with an exact replica of the house. The mod-el was carved by woodworker Matt Trump, and the shingles and painting were completed by Youth Corps member, Ethan Winter. Engelbright was also presented with a photograph

of the house signed by Youth Corps members involved in the project. This was their way of thanking the assemblyman for securing a grant to provide a fire sprinkler system and new roof for the house. The Youth Corps members thanked him for protecting the building for future generations to enjoy.

Gloria D. Rocchio, president of The Ward Melville Heritage Organization, said, “it was a long journey in accomplishing these tasks but the results are worth it.” She also thanked Deborah Boudreau, director of the Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Education De-partment, for directing and or-chestrating the play and day’s events. The performances were well received by the audiences.

The Brewster House was purchased by Ward Melville in 1947 and restored in 1967. Mel-ville then deeded the property and structure to the Ward Mel-ville Heritage Organization, which owns and maintains the property. The house is open to school and adult group tours. For further information, please call 631-751-2244.

The Ballet Education and Scholarship Fund Inc. (BESFI) in St. James recently announced the top winners of its annual scholarship competition that was held June 5 in conjunction with the BESFI Intensive Summer Workshop. The com-petition was judged by a panel of five dis-tinguished adjudicators who awarded 12 scholarships totaling $6,000.

Senior Division winners were by rank: First-place winner Diana Atoian of Hol-brook was awarded $1,100, second-place Sophia Cipriano of Port Jefferson gar-nered $700, Eva Pyrros also of Port Jeffer-son and Jenna Lee of Kings Park claimed third and fourth places, respectively, and received $375 each. Junior Division winners were led by Brianna Jimenez of East Setauket (first place) who corralled

$1,100, Graciella Carrero-Sagona of Hun-tington (second place) earned a $700 scholarship and Madison Valenta of Port Jefferson (third place) raked in $400. According to BESFI President Dimitri Pa-padakos, “the competition this year was especially spirited. Both divisions were well-represented resulting in an even split of the $6,000 scholarship purse.”

Celebrating its 37th anniversary, the BESFI Intensive Summer Workshop is a nationally recognized six-week ballet program held annually during the last two weeks of July and four weeks in August. Limited workshop space is still available. For full information and appli-cations go to www.besfi.com. To make an appointment for an audition or to speak to a representative, call 631-584-0192.

As I walk across the golden beach my feet drag under the sand swiftly drifting my toes through the warm earth,

Sighting the amazing water that drifts in the ocean waves as boards slowly float with fishes creating splashes in the crystal water,

Watching the swimmers poking their heads out of the water swiftly leaving a trail of splashes behind them, swim-ming as fast as they can,

Sailboats are prancing through the aqua water leaving a mirror reflection using the wind to quickly speed past the other boats trying to take its wind,

Ocean water tugs on the boats rocking them back and forth creating a momen-tum that causes people to spill their glasses and accidentally break them,

Fish are jumping out of the sea, peo-ple’s faces are fascinated, the children are tugging on their parents to ask if they can go run into the ocean and catch one,

As people are laying on the beach on towels, sand rushes through their

hands, kids are burying their parents in the sand, and they are trying to get up and escape the sand,

Couples are walking along the beach along with many other people who are walking dogs with them as kids are car-rying shovels and buckets,

Kids making sand castles and having contests to see which kid will have the biggest sand castle, they all use the sand and buckets, and they seem to be shipped by nothing,

All different colors on blankets cover the beach like a paint brush covering the beach with a new color and each person is unique with their own color-ful color,

The families run into the water up to their ankles and spring around in the wonderful water, together they feel united and together as a family,

Laying in the sand as the sun glazes upon your skin, giving you the tan you wish and the sun reflects upon the water.

The beach is an amazing place!

Clark, Pouder named to AE All-Academic teamStony Brook track and field student-

athletes Joe Clark and Kate Pouder were named to the America East All-Academic teams for outdoor track and field.

Clark, who entered the spring with a 3.73 GPA as an Applied Math & Statistics/Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences double major, earned his third conference All-Academic honor of 2015-16 after being named to the cross country list in Novem-ber and the indoor track & field team in March. The senior distance runner put up multiple strong showings as part of the 4x800-meter relay team in 2016, including a sixth-place finish out of 21 teams at the College of William & Mary’s Colonial Re-lays on April 2.

Pouder, a 4.0 Master of Arts, Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care & Bio-ethics major, earned a spot on the outdoor track list after also doing so during the indoor season. Pouder won two events at

the Stony Brook Quad Meet on March 24 and placed sixth in the 1,500 with a time of 4 minutes, 41.55 seconds at the America East Championships. The graduate student distance runner was also honored with the Dave Alexander Courage Award at the 2016 Wolfie Awards, given to a member of Stony Brook Athletics who has demonstrated un-common bravery in the face of adversity.

To be eligible for the All-Academic team, student-athletes must have sopho-more athletic eligibility, attain a minimum GPA of 3.30 and be a contributor on their team. The squad is voted on by a commit-tee made up of America East student-ath-lete support and athletic communications administrators, as well as faculty athletic representatives.

Priore adds Jackson to football roster

Stony Brook head football coach Chuck Priore has announced the addition of wide receiver Harrison Jackson to the roster for the 2016 season as a graduate student.

Jackson spent his undergraduate ca-reer at Boston College, where he played in 21 games for the Eagles and caught eight passes for 102 yards, including one touchdown.

“I am excited about the addition of Harrison to our program,” Priore said. “He brings with him quality playing ex-perience and the ability to create big plays in our pass game.”

Jackson, a native of Round Hill, Vir-ginia who graduated from Louden Val-ley High School, earned second team All-District honors as a senior after

pulling in 38 passes from 735 yards and five touchdowns.

Join Stony Brook in the Seawolves United Race to 500 and the Dubin Challenge

Stony Brook Athletics is looking to the Seawolves community to be a part of two integral initiatives — the Seawolves United “Race to 500” and the Dubin Challenge.

The June call for support follows a suc-cessful 2015-16 year on the court, track and field for the Seawolves. Two Stony Brook teams, the men’s basketball squad and women’s lacrosse team, won America East championships, the latter tallying a win in the NCAA tournament, and two student-athletes on the women’s track and field team qualified for NCAA competition in a total of three events.

The Seawolves also recorded four vic-

tories over “Power 5” programs, with wins over Boston College, the University of Maryland, Rutgers University and Stanford University, and seven wins over ranked op-ponents. The women’s lacrosse program was ranked as high as No. 6 this season, while the men’s team was No. 8 during its 2016 campaign. The Stony Brook men’s basketball team qualified for its first NCAA tournament appearance to square off with perennial contender University of Ken-tucky on the national stage.

Seawolves United is closing in on 500 members— 484 currently — with the goal of surpassing the mark by June 30. A gift

to Seawolves United will help to positively transform the life of each student-athlete and their pursuit of academic, athletic and personal success. The 500th member to join Seawolves United will receive a com-memorative Seawolves United jersey.

Unrestricted gifts made to Stony Brook Athletics during the fiscal year (deadline of June 30) accumulate to provide a donor level for the upcoming athletics season, which begins July 1. For more information on the donor levels of Seawolves United and their accompanying benefits, visit http://seawolvesunited.com/benefits/sea-wolves-united-benefits/, and to help the

school reach 500 members, click “Donate” in the upper right-hand corner.

June is also an opportunity to help build the Indoor Training Center as part of the Dubin Challenge. Stony Brook alumnus Glenn Dubin and his wife Eva announced a $5 million pledge in the form of a one-to-one matching challenge grant for dona-tions made by June 30.

The Indoor Training Center is an essen-tial upgrade in facilities for Stony Brook Athletics and one of the initiatives of To-gether We Transform, the five-year plan for Stony Brook Athletics. To donate, visit https://alumniandfriends.stonybrook.edu/main-site/external/giving-to-stony-brook-dubin-challenge.
