By Gerard Frank SchaFhautle

Wild dogs, such as wolves, are carnivo-rous by nature, whereas domesticated dogs have adapted to more omnivorous diets. Therefore, there are plenty of plants that, in moderation, may be consumed by our canine comrades. Some examples include carrots, blue-berries, white rice and yes, peanuts. Whether butter in a jar or nuts in a bag, peanuts are generally a safe choice (in mod-eration) compared to many other plants that we call nuts.

Ironically, pea-nuts are not actually nuts, but rather le-gumes, like peas and beans. The true nuts are those from trees, such as walnuts, pecans, hickory, ha-zelnuts, macadamia, cashew, Brazilian nuts, Cocoa (Chocolate), and acorns. Be-fore venturing into the harmful effects of tree nuts, allow me to explain an oddity in the nut family that was not mentioned — almonds.

Almonds come in two varieties: sweet and bitter. Bitter almonds are more relat-ed to the fruit tree family of peaches and apricots. If you were to crack open the pit of an apricot or peach, you will see one or two seeds that look suspiciously like almonds. Bitter almonds and the center of a fruit pit all contain a cyanide-related chemical called benzaldehyde as well as other harmful chemicals, which are ca-pable of symptoms ranging from lethargy to fatality. So be careful of bitter almonds and pets, as well as letting them chew on a fruit pit.

Nuts from trees can be contaminated with a mold type fungus called Aspergil-lus. This type of mold fungus secretes a type of poison called aflatoxins. Afla-toxins can cause damage to the liver and potentially lead to cirrhosis (scarring), or carcinoma (cancer). Best not let your fluffy family members eat any fallen tree nuts.

Although chocolate tastes great, cocoa products contain theobromine, which is deadly to your pets in even small amounts. Theobromine is found in all forms of chocolate and cocoa butters, in increasing concentrations from white chocolate (the least) to dark chocolate (the

greatest). Theobromine is a stimulant that could lead to irregular heart rhythms and seizures. Both could be fatal.

Nuts of the arboreal nature may con-tain one other toxic substance harmful to your pets. Walnuts, American black and English, amongst other species, are formed under a thick leather skinned ex-

terior. The space be-tween the nut’s shell and this protective barrier is filled with a soft black resin full of tannins. Tannins are substances that act as astringents which bind proteins and amino acids in the body. The ef-fect is rapid onset vomiting and diar-rhea, followed by life threatening and sometimes fatal kid-

ney and liver damage. Peanuts. Finally we come around to

the safe “nut” — well , almost. Peanuts are high in fats, which can clog up the liver and pancreas, which can lead to pancreati-tis, inflammation of the pancreas and/or hepatitis, inflammation of the liver. These issues are easily treated by your veterinar-ian by switching your dog to a bland, low-fat diet and halting the “treating” of pea-nut butter in a hollow bone toy. Chemicals originating from tree nut consumption are much more difficult to treat, and may re-quire special attention by the animal poi-son control hotline or an emergency vet-erinary clinic or hospital.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Do not allow your dog access to any human-edible tree nuts. Keep your veterinarian’s office phone number, as well as the closest after-hours veterinary emergency clinic and animal poison control hotline, in a spot that is accessi-ble to all family members. Finally, if you feel the need to treat your pet with a few peanuts or some peanut butter, do so in careful moderation. Be safe, be wise, and be informed.

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

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

By EllEn BarcEl

Recently I received a photo of a Long Island oak tree covered in gypsy moth caterpillars from a reader who noted that chopped leaves were all over her yard and the caterpillar’s droppings covered her driveway. Moths seemed to be every-where. What was going on?

Well, periodically, when the condi-tions are right, infestations of certain pests seem to explode. In this case, her offenders were gypsy moth caterpillars. The adult female gypsy moth is whitish in color with a few small brown spots. The male is slightly smaller and is tan with darker brown coloring.

It’s not the moths themselves but the larvae which do a number on the leaves of so many hardwood trees. The moth is indigenous to Europe, but was introduced to the United States when someone thought they could be used to cross with silkworms to develop a silk in-dustry here. That never worked out, but the larvae have attacked trees, particu-larly in the Northeast, where they have continued to spread south and west.

The gypsy moth was soon recog-nized as a pest, defoliating trees. Ac-counts from the late 1800s talk about caterpillars covering roofs and sidewalks.

The female moth lays its eggs which over w i nter. In spring, the eggs hatch, and the lar-vae emerge and feed vo-raciously on leaves. Usually in early summer the larvae turn into pupa, a stage which lasts two or more weeks. Then the skin splits open and the moth emerges to start the cycle over again. This time line varies as I already saw a female gypsy moth.

Like butterflies, the moths can’t eat, but can consume moisture. So it’s not the moth that’s the problem — it’s the cater-pillar. Moths tend to be active at night, while butterflies are active during the day. The moths don’t have a long lifespan, just about a week, just long enough to mate and lay eggs.

The U.S. Department of Agricul-ture notes that the caterpillars emerge from the eggs at about the same time that trees begin to grow in early spring. While the larvae feed on many different species of trees, on Long Island they can be found on oak, pine, catalpa, dog-

wood, American holly, mountain laurel and arborvitae.

Encouraging birds to nest in your gar-den will help somewhat, as they will eat the caterpillars. But in a major infesta-tion, they just can’t keep up.

The Dept. of Agriculture notes that

most healthy trees can recover from infesta-

tions and grow a new set of leaves, but that trees

already weakened by dis-ease are more likely to die

as a result of severe infestation. Repeated infestations also weaken

trees, making them more prone to dis-ease. Weather can affect outbreaks. Se-verely cold winters can kill the eggs, for example.

By now, the worst is over. But, as a gardener, what can you do if you are concerned about a future infestation? Because the life cycle of gypsy moths is year-round, control must be also. Don’t assume that now that the caterpillars are gone, the problem is over. They’ll be back again next year. The Dept. of Agriculture recommends the following:

Now:* Diversify the type of trees you have

in your garden* Destroy egg masses if you see them

— they look like a tan colored mass on wood (even firewood and wood furni-ture), and under leaves.

* Feed, water and fertilize trees as needed to keep them healthy. That way they can recover more easily in a major infestation.

Next spring:*Use a band of burlap around the base

of your trees, particularly oaks, in spring. Lift it up periodically to see how bad the infestation is. Then remove and destroy caterpillars manually if you can.

* Use double sided tape around trees to prevent the caterpillars from climbing up the trunk to the leaves.

* If you’ve had a particularly bad infes-tation this year, consider having a profes-sional apply a pesticide next spring. This is a last resort, only to be used if your trees were badly damaged this year.

You Can Change, At Any Age!

“My pain has subsided consider-ably. But, I must tell you that I don’t think I would have made it this far without your help. I was a mess when I first saw you, but you gave me a new sense of strength, new knowledge about nutrition and just a better regard for myself.” ~ Nurse Practitioner/IBS and ulcerative colitis sufferer, age 62

“I feel awesome after eating the diet, especially in the morning. I can’t believe how much has improved with such small changes. My cholesterol is normal, and my triglycerides dropped dramatically - almost 200 points! My blood pressure medication was stopped, yet my blood pressure is the best it has ever been.” ~ E.M., age 44

“My cardiologist was so impressed with my results. By following Dr. Dunaief ’s advice, I’ve been able to stop all three of my blood pressure medications. My heart palpitations, which were limiting my activities, have dramatically reduced in frequency, my energy levels have increased and I have lost 15 pounds in two months.”

~ Nurse, age 62

“…just wanted to share the…great news – I passed my fitness test and achieved my highest score ever! Thank you for all your support and help. You know how important this was for me. I’m so pleased with the results.” ~ Military Surgeon, age 43

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

and Speaker

The results I have achieved working with Dr. Dunaief have been quite remarkable. My primary goal was to reduce average blood pressure to acceptable levels. This was accomplished in a little over 3 months. Coincidentally I was able to reduce my overall cholesterol from 250 to 177 with a much improved LDL/HDL ratio in 4 months. In addition I lost over 30 lbs and went from 24% body fat to 17.7%. I have some good days but mostly great days and I’m very happy with the results and look forward to even more improvement in the future.—D.L., age 64

Community Household Sharps CollectionThe Stony Brook University Medical Center has designated the Dental Care Center as its drop-off site for community household sharps collection. Long Island residents can place their used sharp objects (needles, syringes, lancets, etc.) in a hard plastic container with a tight cap or lid, such as a plastic laundry detergent or bleach container. Please do not use plastic soda bottles, glass bottles, boxes, metal or coffee cans, or lightweight plastic containers as they may crack or be punctured by the sharps. When the container is full, tightly cap the container and seal with heavy duty tape for added protection. Label the sharps containers with the word “BIOHAZARD” using a waterproof ink marker.

Residents may bring their appropriate sharps container to the Main Reception Desk at the Dental Care Center, located on the campus of Stony Brook University, South Drive, any workday Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. For further in-formation call (631) 444-6783.

Osteoporosis is a very tricky disease. What do osteoporosis, high blood pressure and high cholesterol have in common? They are all asymptomatic until the later stages. You can’t directly measure the progression or risk of osteoporosis fractures; you can only make an educated guess. The medi-cal community does this mainly by using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) score (1). FRAX estimates the 10-year risk of fracture in an untreated patient. You can find this tool at www.shef.ac.uk/FRAX.

There are a number of risks including genetics — family history, advanced age and demographics, with Asians being at highest risk — lifestyle, medications such as steroids and chronic diseases. A specific chronic disease that recently has come into focus is heart disease. We will discuss this in more detail. Also, it does not seem that diabetes, neither type 1 nor type 2, contributes to osteoporosis (2).

When we think of osteoporosis, we tend to associate it predominately with postmenopausal women; however, it does affect a significant number of men.

Treatments range from lifestyle modi-fications including diet, exercise and smoking cessation to supplements and medications. The medications that are considered first-line therapy are bisphos-phonates, such as Reclast or Zometa (zoledronic acid), Fosamax (alendronate), Actonel (risedronate), Boniva (ibandro-nate) and Didronel (etidronate).

While all of these drugs have reduced fractures, recently zoledronic acid showed disappointing results in reducing fracture risk in the elderly population.

The relatively new medication on the block is Prolia (denosumab), an injectable human monoclonal antibody, that works through a different mechanism of action, though the result is the same; it blocks the osteoclastic (breakdown) activity of the bone (3). It has been shown to increase bone mineral density, or thickening of the bone, and reduce fracture risk. Prolia was approved at the end of 2012, so it has not been out long. Like bisphosphonates, it does have side effects.

As far as supplements go, the most ex-citing news is that melatonin may help to increase bone mineral density. Let’s look at the research.

The forgotten sex: menRarely are men the forgotten sex

when it comes to medical research, but osteoporosis is an exception. Approxi-mately one-third of fractures occur in men, resulting in a 37 percent mortality rate. One in five men over the age of 50 will experience a fracture with osteopo-rosis as a contributing factor. The pre-dictions are that these rates will climb precipitously and that men need to be treated appropriately (4). Currently, less than 50 percent of men with osteoporo-sis are receiving treatment (5).

Is bariatric surgery useful?Though bariatric surgery has been

shown to have a number of benefits for many chronic diseases, osteoporosis is not one of them. In the Swedish Obesity Study, results show that women who underwent bariatric surgery were at 50 percent increased risk of fractures as well as long-term osteoporosis (6). The results in men were not statistically sig-nificant. The duration of the study was 25 years. The authors hypothesize that malnutrition may play a role in caus-ing this effect. Supplementation may be important to overcome this, as well as frequent follow-ups with blood tests to track micronutrient levels.

Heart disease, really?When we think of heart disease, we as-

sociate it with lots of complications, but osteoporosis is not typically one of them. Well, think again. In the Hertfordshire Cohort Study, results show that there was a significantly increased risk of wrist fracture of the radius in those with heart disease (7). These results were shown overall. However, when the sexes were analyzed separately, this effect held true for men but was not true for women, al-though the results in women did trend toward significance. This may be an ex-ample where men are at greater risk than women. Therefore, it may be important to think about osteoporosis when someone is diagnosed with heart disease, especially since it is not intuitive. Lifestyle factors could be a contributor to this association, as well as estrogen deficiency.

A bisphosphonate that disappointedBisphosphonates are the mainstay of

treatment for osteoporosis, increasing bone density and decreasing fracture risk. However, zoledronic acid had surprising-ly disappointing results in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) (8). Results showed that while zoledronic acid increased bone density over two years, it did not decrease the risk of fracture in elderly women in nursing homes. This does not neces-sarily have broad implications for other bisphosphonates. There were also weak-

Archaeological dig wraps upThis summer, Christopher Matthews is

completing the archaeological unearth-ing of the historical remains of the Jacob and Hannah Hart site on Lake Street in Setauket. The Setauket-based Higher Ground Inter-Cultural & Heritage Asso-ciation is hosting the project’s final stages. The A Long Time Coming project is a history research and documentation ven-ture utilizing unconventional archaeol-ogy and oral history devoted to rediscov-ery of history and heritage of interracially mixed Native and African people.

Jacob and Hannah Hart were prom-inent members of Setauket’s historical-

ly significant, mixed-heritage Native and African American communities. The Harts raised a family of 12 chil-dren on Lake Street from the latter part of the nineteenth century until the 1930s. Their home was removed in the 1940s, leaving behind a wide range of artifacts that will help reveal a more complete story of how that family sur-vived and interacted with relatives in local communities.

Matthews is a professor of anthro-pology at Montclair State University in Montclair, N.J. This summer is the second season of excavation at the site. Matthews can be reached at [email protected].

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

He has been to the Super Bowl, the Boston Marathon, a presidential inauguration, the Baltimore Grand Prix, the Rock-efeller Tree Lighting and the ball drop in Times Square on New Year’s Eve. Lee Michel is neither a politician nor an athlete: He is part of a national, � rst-response team, called the Radiological As-sistant Program.

� e program is a unit of the Department of Energy, which assists local, state and federal agencies to characterize the en-vironment, assess the impact to the local population and sup-port decision makers on steps to minimize the hazards of a radiological incident.

Michel is the training and outreach coordinator in Region 1 of the program. He works with partner agencies around the country to deal with everything from the discovery of radiologi-cal material that someone might have accidentally brought home from a work site to an intention-al detonation of a dirty bomb.

His job is a “full soup-to-nuts response to radiological material that shouldn’t be wherever it is,” Michel said. He trains people at facilities around the country to understand “how to detect [ra-diation], how to contain it, how to identify it and how to mitigate it,” Michel said.

Kathleen McIntyre, the con-tractor operations manager for RAP Region 1, said her group is the � rst on-scene emergency response team representing the Department of Energy. One of nine programs around the coun-try, the BNL team is responsible for a region that stretches from Maine to Maryland and to the Pennsylvania-Ohio border.

In addition to sports events and conventions, the team also assists with other high-pro� le events. In late September, the BNL RAP team will work with other agencies during Pope Fran-cis’s visit to the United States.

In his job, Michel o� en trav-els to ensure he’s appropriately trained so he can teach other � rst-responder agencies. In the last several months, he’s been

to Chicago, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Boston, Connecticut and New Jersey.

� ese trips are necessary to create e� ective collaborations with local partners, said Mc-Intyre. “Part of the thing that [Michel] does and does well is coordinate with our � rst-responder partners,” McIntyre said. � e training and outreach ensure “if we are ever in a situ-ation where we need to work together, this isn’t the � rst time we’ve met each other.”

While the mission hasn’t changed for the � ve years Michel has been in his role, the mecha-nisms have evolved.

“� e equipment we’re using is much more sophisticated than what we had,” Michel said. “� e so� ware that runs the system or is used in conjunction with the system is much more advanced.”

Indeed, McIntyre said Michel regularly has to remain updated on the latest so� ware and equip-ment, in the same way an owner of a laptop has to remain current on electronic updates.

Michel “has to be conversant with all these” systems, she said. “He has to hit the ground run-ning. We don’t own every piece of radiological equipment out there. He needs to understand whatever he’s going to teach.”

McIntyre gives Michel “great kudos” for “rolling up his sleeves” as he tries to stay abreast of the changing technology.

In addition to training, Mi-chel does exercises and drills

with response teams, keeping the groups prepared to react to a wide range of potential radio-logical problems or events.

While the Radiological As-sistance Program only has three full-time employees at BNL, the facility includes 26 volunteers.

Michel has been dealing with radiation for over 30 years, start-ing with eight years in the navy from 1981 to 1989 when he was a nuclear power operator.

Born and raised on Long Is-land, Michel is the third genera-tion in his family to work at the Upton facility. His grandfather, Isadore Rosen, was stationed at Camp Upton during World War I. His uncle, Morton Rosen, took pictures for BNL for over 35 years. Michel, who lives in

Holtsville, has two daughters, 26-year old Heather and 22-year old Michelle.

As for a fourth generation at BNL, Michel holds out some hope. “I would love to have one of them work here,” he said. He’s even entertained the idea of his seven-month old granddaughter Jemma one day contributing to BNL.

While the work involves trav-eling to high-pro� le events, it’s sometimes tough to soak in the atmosphere.

� e 2009 inauguration in-volved working 14-hour shi� s in single digits, McIntyre said. A� er their work, they come back for more assignments. � ese contractors and volunteers “who serve on the RAP teams are ded-icated professionals.”

The Facts: I am named executor in my brother’s will. He died recently and his assets include a bank account and a house. Someone told me that since I am the named executor, I can close the account and sell his house simply by presenting the will.

The Question: Is that true? The Answer: Absolutely not! Al-

though you are named in your brother’s will as the executor of his estate, the surrogate’s court in the county in which your brother resided at the time of his death must admit the will to probate and issue letters testamentary to you be-fore you can take any ac-tion with respect to your brother’s assets.

In other words, you must establish to the court’s satisfaction that the will is valid before you are able to act as ex-ecutor. You cannot as-sume the responsibilities of executor without the court’s explicit approval.

The complexity, cost and time in-volved in having a will admitted to probate will vary with the number of beneficiaries named in the will, as well as the number of heirs to the estate, the ease with which your attorney can locate the beneficiaries and heirs, how cooperative those people may be with the attorney in moving forward, the value of the estate and whether any-one contests the admission of the will to probate, among other factors.

While the probate process can be straightforward and relatively inex-pensive, there are numerous issues

that can arise in the probate process that are best handled by an experi-enced estate attorney. Some of the most common issues with probate are not being able to locate individuals who are entitled to notice and deal-ing with individuals who contest the validity of the will.

Fortunately, the percentage of cas-es where a will is contested and ul-timately not admitted to probate is

small but, if there are ob-jections filed to the pro-bate of a will, the process can drag on for quite some time, significantly increasing the expenses of the estate.

Assuming the probate process goes smoothly and your brother’s will is ultimately admitted to probate, you will be is-sued letters testamentary by the court. Only then will you be in a position to marshal your brother’s assets, pay any legiti-mate outstanding debts your brother may have

had, and make distributions in accor-dance with the wishes set forth in your brother’s will.

Once you have located and distrib-uted your brother’s assets, you will be required to file with the court an in-ventory of your brother’s assets and releases from the beneficiaries stating that they received the bequests to which they were entitled under the will.

Would you love to travel the world but lack the funds? ... the time? ... the energy? Well, you’re in luck! The 20th Annual Stony Brook Film Festival — which begins this evening at 8 p.m. — will bring the world to you. Travel far and wide in the comfort of a cushioned seat in the Staller Center’s air-conditioned Main Stage Theater on the Stony Brook University campus. Festival Director Alan Inkles says, “Over ten days, [you] will be transported to Germany, the Netherlands, Israel, Mexico, Greece, Egypt, France, Canada, Iran, Belgium, England, Morocco and Algeria.”

Should you prefer homegrown fare, Inkles said, “We have more American films than ever this year. Dramas, comedies and documentaries will be shown on our huge screen, and many of the producers, direc-tors, cast and crew members will attend the Q-&-As following the films.” In sum: There will be something for everyone.

You’ll travel through time during the 10-day festival as well. Be transported to the South in the aftermath of the Civil War (“The Keeping Room”). Find yourself in a Nazi-occupied Dutch village (“Secrets of War”). See how American propaganda films were created during World War II (“Projections of America”). Return to the 1960s in Quebec for a story with heart and music (“The Passion of Augustine”). Tune in to a television debate series in 1968 that created a whole new format for public dis-course (“Best of Enemies”).

Revisit the turn of this century and yet another banking scandal (“The Clear-stream Affair”). Spend time in the cur-rent decade examining women’s rights (“Nefertiti’s Daughters”). Or step out of time into some magical moments in the short films “Freeze,” “A Single Life,” “Wrapped” and “DOT.”

Inkles and his staff have screened more than 700 entries, looking for the best in-dependent features, documentaries and short films available worldwide. The schedule includes 34 films; 19 are feature length and 15 are shorts. Among them are a world premiere and eight films that will

have their first U.S. screenings. “Audiences will get to see many works

of true indie spirit, where the filmmakers wear a variety of hats,” commented Inkles. “On Opening Night we’ll have the U.S. premiere of ‘The Man from Oran,’ a drama from Algeria starring Lyes Salem, who also wrote and directed the film. It’s a story set largely in the years following Algeria’s in-dependence from France, that explores the themes of friendship, idealism, politics and betrayal.” Inkles is pleased that Salem will be present on Opening Night.

Perennial festival attendees will recog-nize the star of the Closing Night feature, “The Passion of Augustine,” a film from French Canada about a small convent school that had become a musical treasure. Céline Bonnier also starred in the 2012 fes-tival entry, “Mommy Is at the Hairdress-

er’s.” Léa Pool directed both films. Inkles is delighted that Bonnier will attend the screening.

An added feature to this year’s festival is a display of Vintage Film Posters in the Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery located on the first floor of the Staller Center. This exhibit of classic movie posters will be open each night of the festival from one hour prior to the first screening until the last screening of the night begins.

This year’s festival is being presented by its newest sponsor — Island Federal Credit Union — a financial institution that has been serving Long Islanders for 60 years. Island Federal has established a 10-year partnership with Stony Brook University that provides philanthropic funding for multiple university projects.

The SBFF runs for 10 nights. Most

nights screenings begin at 7 p.m. Starting times for the second film varies. Check the schedule. (In some cases, Q-&-As may delay the start of the second feature.) The Opening Night film begins at 8 p.m. The Closing Night film begins at 8:30 p.m. And there’s a bonus feature on Sunday evening that begins at 6 p.m.

A Festival Pass to see all the films is $85. A $225 Gold Pass includes seating in the section reserved for filmmakers and their guests, as well as tickets to the opening and closing receptions. Individual tickets ($10, $8 seniors, $5 students) will be sold sub-ject to availability. Tickets for the Opening Night and Closing Night receptions are $25 each, also subject to availability.

For more information, call the Staller Center Box Office at 631-632-ARTS or visit www.stonybrookfilmfestival.com.

By Charles J. Morgan

About an eon ago your scribe was watching a TV talk show on the fam-ily’s round screen box on which a par-ticipant referred to “West Side Story” as a “slice of New York life.” Another participant, the great Robert Morley, snorted, “Ectually, old boy, it’s Romeo and Juliet.” Morely was right, and the Playbill at the Smithtown Center for the Performing Art’s opening really was the Bard’s opus with full credit put to music, and not just music but Broadway music and dance.

With a team featuring Arthur Lau-rent’s book, Leonard Bernstein’s mu-sic, Stephen Sondheim’s lyrics and Je-rome Robbins’ choreography, success was all but secure. In SCPA’s effort it was secured in Smithtown.

Direction was by Jordan Hue who, facing the challenge of a massive cast, showed his craftsmanship in block-ing and interpretation. Each Jet and each Shark were real tangible creatures thanks to Hue’s disciplined creativity.

The show is practically all choreog-raphy, and thanks to the genius of the indefatigable Melissa Rapelje, excellently performed execution was the armature of the show. She faced the off-beat ac-cents, the dissonances and the diversity of rhythms undaunted. Her skills with interpretive, modern, Latin and even ballet were never more displayed.

Coalescing with the dancing and singing was the superb live music led by Melissa Coyle on keyboard with conductor Craig Coyle on piano. Jim Waddell was outstanding on drums. The number “Cool it!,” performed by the Jets, was accompanied by Waddell using only the sizzling hi-hats. Craig Lindsey and Bob Dalpiaz handled ex-

tremely competent reeds. Jill Boardman was on violin and Russ Brown’s bass anchored all the intricate changes of rhythm easily. Finally, Joe Boardman’s trumpet reached aesthetically ethereal heights … as usual.

The two “star-crossed lovers” were Eric Schell as Tony and Faith Ahmed as Ma-ria. Schell’s tenor and Ahmed’s soprano melded smoothly in both duet and solo. In the “balcony” (fire escape) scene their “Tonight” was a truly velvet love song while Schell’s rendition of “Maria” was lovingly rendered. Ahmed also exhibited obvious talent in “I Feel Pretty.”

In a choreographed dream sequence Courtney Braun sang a solo “Some-where There’s a Place” with both charm and power delightfully linked. Justin Albinder stood out as the doomed Ber-nardo. As “Action” Bobby Montaniz leads the Jets in a hilarious mockery of the sadistic Officer Krupke. Some of the lines are quite dated: (“…my mother pushes tea…), yet Montaniz is the key to the humor of it all.

In addition to choreographer, Rapelje also played the role of the second lead, Anita. Her drive, verve and singing while leading the girls all keyed to a spicy rendition of “Puerto Rico” like a dish of asopao jibaro.

jalapenos • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger • 1/2 cup rice vinegar • 2 teaspoons sugar • 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste) salt • 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise • 5 tablespoons Thai-style sweet red chili

sauce • 1 tablespoon finely minced onion • 6 bratwursts

Mix mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce and onion. Grill bratwurst according to directions. A few minutes before brats are done, slice baguettes lengthwise, but not all the way through.

Brush bottom half on cut side of bread lightly with remaining sweet chili sauce and place opened baguettes cut side down over grilling brats until bread is warmed and slightly toasted around edges.

spread mayonnaise mixture on bot-tom half of bread. cut each brat in half and tuck into sandwich, rounded side out. Using slotted spoon, top brats with marinated vegetables and cucumbers, mint and cilantro. cut between patty halves for individual sandwiches.

The options for international varia-tions of grilled grub are limitless. Here are a few other ideas:

Mexican: top your bratwursts with pico de gallo, guacamole or refried beans. enjoy on a lightly toasted tortilla with melted cheese instead of a bun.

Greek: Give the gyro a twist by sub-stituting brats for the lamb and serve in a pita with shredded lettuce, tomato and tzatziki.

Italian: enjoy sausage with roasted peppers or with marinara sauce instead of your favorite condiment. or serve up this flavorful sandwich, which in-corporates crunchy red and green bell peppers, with juicy mild Italian sausage links. It’s sure to be a hit around your backyard grill.

Boxes and boxes of brightly colored crocheted rounds were stashed in a room in the administration building of the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook in early July waiting for volunteers under the di-rection of artist Carol Hummel to be at-tached to two large trees and three smaller ones on museum grounds.

This was the final step in the yarn bomb-ing project, Hooked@LIM, which began last January at the museum when com-munity volunteers, more than 200 in all, began making the pieces. Yarn bombing, also called urban knitting, guerilla knit-ting and graffiti knitting, began as a way of bringing the community together by deco-rating public works including trees, statues and even railings with colorfully knit or crocheted pieces. The art form has spread to other countries with Hummel travel-ing to Europe on a number of occasions to work on a community project.

Hummel, who has a master’s degree in sculpture from Kent State University, be-gan yarn bombing in 2004 with a public art competition in Cleveland. She noted that she had the idea of decorating these trees at the Long Island Museum for sev-eral years. Two are large and visible from the road, Route 25A, so can even be seen by community members driving by.

So for the past approximately six months the volunteers have been crochet-ing. On July 6, Hummel and her volun-teers began affixing the crocheted pieces to the trees. The color palate and pattern were carefully worked out in advance, with the lowest pieces on the trees in deep blue

and purple and the colors lightening and brightening as they work their way up the tree in the high branches.

The nylon yarn does not harm the trees, she noted, as air easily passes through the crocheting as does rain. She’s even seen in-sects crawling around the crocheting and an occasional bird removing a loose string for its nest.

Hummel was assisted by daughters Molly Sedensky and Emily Ellyn. Seden-sky could be seen on a lift, high up in a tree, wrapping it with the rounds. Volunteers came each day of the installation to assist.

“I brought in everybody,” Hummel not-ed referring not only to her daughters but her grandchildren as well. “It’s a big job.” Ellyn, a chef who has been on the Food Network, drove up from her home base in Florida to assist.

The exhibit will be in place for two to three years depending on weather condi-tions. Already, “people have been coming by and looking . . . we’re spreading a little happiness — it makes everybody smile,” said Hummel, taking a brief break from the installation. In addition to the five trees at the Long Island Museum, one tree at Avalon Park and Preserve was also yarn bombed.

The official opening of Hooked@LIM and a dedication ceremony will be held on Sunday, July 19, at 2 p.m. with the artist and all the volunteers who worked to make the exhibit possible. The Stony Brook Chamber Ensemble will present an outdoor concert, featuring a brass quintet. Visitors are en-couraged to bring their own seating, chairs or blankets, for the concert. In the event of rain, indoor space will be available.

The Long Island Museum is located at 1200 Route 25A, Stony Brook. For further information, please call the museum at 631-751-0066.

During senior Stephanie McFadden’s experience taking part in the 2015 Europe-an Global Challenge, McFadden wrote her � rst installment on the sights and sounds of Croatia.

“Imagine walking down a cobble stone path, people from all of the world speak-ing di� erent languages as they negoti-ate di� erent prices at the local souvenir shop, the air has a nice cool feel about it, you look to your le� , right, even up and there are buildings digni� ed by the archi-tecture of the 9th and 10th centuries,” she writes. “Prague was real. Even though now looking back on it, it seems kind of like a dream. In the three days we were in Prague we were able to do, see, hear and carry all in the short amount of time.”

She said carry because while walking down the streets to old town Prague, there was a man holding a snake that McFadden asked if she could hold, and he let her.

“� e shock of holding a snake did not hit me until I looked in my hand I was holding the snake’s head,” she wrote. “I looked it straight in the eye and, well, just had to laugh at the fact I was holding a snake in Prague.”

McFadden said that to her surprise practice went well on the � rst day, despite the short adjustment period of the players getting to know each other.

“We started o� getting into the rhythm of things with a few competitive games, then we proceeded to work on � guring out

our sets and serve receive,” she wrote. “In the short amount of time we had together, I was sure we had a competitive group of girls who loved the game of volleyball.”

Later, the team had its � rst test.“While there were moments you could

tell we only played together a short amount of time, our competitive drive and talent took over,” she said. “We were able to play very well. It is an interesting experience to play with other girls from all over the country from di� erent colleges.”

McFadden also had the opportunity to stop by Vienna, Austria.

“It was beautiful,” she said. “� is

city was very interesting because unlike Prague, which did not have any damage in World War II, Austria did. When we � rst walked into the center of the city there was a small sight that preserved some of the wreckage. It was amazing to see how much damage there was, but at the same time see how beautifully they rebuilt everything.”

She said the � rst major sight was a big church that was detailed and intricate, and later on, had lunch with a couple of her teammates and decided to blend in with the locals and eat at a small restaurant that was located in a spot she said was perfect for people watching.

A� er the team got back on the bus, they made their way to Slovenia, for a friendly match against the Israeli team.

“We had a decent game,” she said. “It was de� nitely a good time to work out the little kinks before we play in the tourna-ment coming up shortly.”

So far, she said the experience has been unlike any other.

“We still have so many interesting buildings and scenes to see, so many dif-ferent foods to try, so many di� erent peo-ple to meet, and so much more volleyball to play,” she said. “It is a great experience to be able to learn and grow from each other’s di� erent experiences on and o� the court. It is an experience unlike any other to have the opportunity to become close with oth-er girls from di� erent volleyball programs. I look forward to what lies ahead.”

Seawolves overseas: Vogel’s � rst installment

McFadden experiences Croatia

Women’s volleyball player shares experiences playing in and traveling around Europe

File photo from SBU Nicole Vogel sets the ball in a previous Stony Brook competition.

Nicole Vogel, a senior member of the Stony Brook University volleyball team, will represent the United States of America over the next few weeks in Croatia for the 2015 European Global Challenge.

Seawolves’ head coach Coley Pawlikows-ki and associate head coach Dan Pawlikows-ki will coach the Bring It Promotions, LLC/USA Development Team with Vogel and fel-low senior Stephanie McFadden on the ros-ter, while sophomores Cydney Bowman and Courtney Scanlan will play for Team BIP.

During their journey, each student-ath-lete will be blogging about her experiences.

“Today was my fi rst full day in the Czech Republic,” Vogel writes. “We are staying in a hotel called the ‘Hotel Caesar.’ � e hotel is right in the middle of Prague, which in Czech is Praha, and has an awesome little co� ee shop right across the way that has the best maple iced latte.”

Vogel said her day began waking up at

6:50 a.m., which is 12:50 a.m. in New York. It was not too hard for her to adjust to the time change because she said she slept for two plane rides and a � ve-hour layover.

� e senior wrote that she and McFadden headed to the gym to have a two-hour prac-tice, lunch and then a Czech scrimmage.

“Practice was a great way to have a � rst look at how everyone plays and get a feel for the team we would play a match with in just a few hours,” she wrote.

A� er the gym, the Czech girls arrived and a� er a short warmup, the teams played � ve games, switching the lineup every game.

“� e other team was super scrappy and were digging some really tough balls hit by our team,” Vogel said. “� ey had a di� er-ent method of the game and played it well. A� erwards, they ran over and handed all of us the jerseys they had just worn. I received No. 14, the setter’s, jersey. I ran over and of-fered them the practice shirt that I had been

wearing and they were so excited — they did not even care that it was sweaty.”

� e Seawolves setter said that a� er arriv-ing back at the hotel, she and McFadden got ready to sightsee. � e girls caught the rail for about six stops to go to the castle at the top of the city.

“� e view was spectacular,” Vogel said. “Every which way I turned was another beautiful building or statue that has been around longer than our country was even the United States. Th e city had pieces of his-tory around every corner.”

She wrote that her favorite sight of the day was the bridge called Kings Cross, add-ing that the bridge has a unique story.

“� e team is amazing,” Vogel wrote. “Everyone has been really nice and every-one has some weird connection of how they know the same person, which is really fun to listen to. � ey all have such interest-ing stories and are very open and willing

to try new things. I think that this has been a topnotch trip so far, and it is only the fi rst day. Tomorrow we have a four-hour practice and then have the a� ernoon to go roam the city with each other. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store.”

nesses in this trial, the most serious being fracture risk was not a primary end point. Additionally, the study may have been too small. However, this still is a very intrigu-ing study.

Melatonin for osteoporosisWhat could melatonin possibly have

to do with osteoporosis? Am I just try-ing to put you to sleep? No. There are surprisingly positive results with mela-tonin. In a recent very small RCT, mel-atonin in combination with 800 mg/day of vitamin D3 and 800 mg/day of calcium increased bone density signif-

icantly in the spine and femoral neck over a one-year period, compared to the control, or placebo, arm contain-ing vitamin D3 and calcium of similar dosage (9).

Interestingly, with melatonin the amount of calcium excreted through the urine in a 24-hour measurement decreased by 12.2 percent. There was a dose-related curve, where melatonin 3 mg/day in combination with vitamin D3 and calcium showed greater results than 1 mg/day of melatonin, which showed significant results over the con-trol arm. This was a preliminary study involving 81 postmenopausal women divided into three groups. Fracture risk reduction was not an end point. Larger

studies with fracture risk as a primary end point are needed. Having said this, these results are exciting.

Though medications such as bisphosphonates and a monoclonal antibody may have an important place in the treatment of osteoporosis, not all medications may be equal. It is im-portant to treat with lifestyle modifi-cations including potentially supple-ments — melatonin, calcium and vitamin D3 — as well as diet, exercise and overall behavior modifications. Heart disease’s unexpected associa-tion with osteoporosis is a good reason to treat the whole patient, not just the disease. And don’t forget that men may have this disease too!

t h e a t e r

By Heidi Sutton

It’s important to be honest, right? That’s the message Theatre Three is spread-ing in its latest endeavor, “Jack and the Beanstalk” or “The Boy Who Cried Gi-ant.” With book and lyrics by Jeffrey San-zel, the musical production follows the original fairy tale closely with a sprinkle of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and makes for great entertainment.

Jack lives in a small village with his mother and his best friend, Filpail the cow. Blessed with a vivid imagination, Jack has “a habit of making the truth look like a pretzel.” He has told so many tall tales (“I can even wash a cat!”) that no one believes him anymore. When he finally tells the truth — that he climbed up a beanstalk to a giant’s castle — it falls on deaf ears and therein lies the moral of the story.

For an hour and a half, the talented cast of eight adult actors, directed by Sanzel, whisk the audience away to a magical faraway land filled with song, dance and much laughter. From the first musical number, the “Song of Boasting,”

accompanied on piano by Steve McCoy, you know you are in for a real treat. With music and lyrics by Kevin F. Story, and choreography by Sari Feldman, all the songs are terrific, with special mention of the “Ballad of the Empty Pail” and “Song of the Beans.”

Michael Giordano is perfectly cast as Jack and quickly draws the audience in

with his energetic personality. His one-handed cartwheels and leapfrogs over Filpail are impressive and keep the young audience on the edge of their seats. For many, these acrobatics are as magical as anything in the story.

Olivia Andrunik, new to Theatre Three’s stage, plays Jack’s mother with just the right amount of scolding and love. Tam-

ralynn Dorsa plays the Fairy Mary Good-wing who just can’t seem to say goodbye. Her rendition of “Song of Truth-Telling” was beautiful. James D. Schultz is hilari-ous as the giant’s wife, and he commands the stage with his solo, “Song of the Giant’s Wife.” Frank Gilleece plays the butcher in the first act and the giant in the second, and does a fine job as always.

Amanda Geraci and Andrew Gaspa-rini make a great team as Margot and Marco — the thieves who trick Jack into trading his cow for magic beans — and switch roles effortlessly in Act II as Hen-rietta the Hen and Harry the Harp.

But it is the indefatigable Kevin F. Sto-ry as Filpail the cow who steals the show with his “mooving” rendition of “Song of the Cow.”

Add special effects like a magical beanstalk, hilarious props such as a giant shoe and terrific costumes designed by Geraci, and the end result is an enjoyable afternoon of live theater that your kids and you will love. Meet the cast up close and personal in the lobby after the show.

Theatre Three, 412 Main St., Port Jeffer-son, will present “Jack and the Beanstalk” through Aug. 7. Tickets are $10. For more information, call 631-928-9100 or visit www.theatrethree.com.
