I recently authored a two-part series en-titled “A Long (and Fat) Winter’s Night,” with ideas on the management of the obese patient. However, if your pet is not obese but the long winter has affected them, what do we do? Stiff, creaky joints may make it difficult for him or her to rise. Just doesn’t seem to be able to finish those long walks (or even have the willingness to take them). These are difficult to see in our aging babies but are also some-thing that can be addressed. Physical therapy along with low-impact exercise can be helpful in not only improving our pet’s mobility and stamina but also has a positive effect on their sense of well-being.

Before I discuss physical therapy and low-impact exercise specifically, I would recommend that all pet owners visit their veterinarian’s office to rule out possible un-derlying or concurrent disease. This may be something that you already do dur-ing an annual wellness exam. However, if you’ve missed a few years, please do make an appointment to have your four-legged family member examined and consider some basic diagnostics (if warranted) such as blood work, X-rays, etc. If all is well, then let’s get started.

The one good thing about physical therapy (unlike missing a dose of medi-cation) is every little bit helps. If you can perform certain exercises and therapies only once daily instead or more often, re-member every little bit helps.

Heat Therapy and Massage: It has been shown that heat therapy causes vasodila-tion and improves circulation to tissues. This increases tissue oxygenation and transportation of metabolites. It has been proven that five to 10 minutes of heat before physical therapy and exercise can reduce joint stiffness and increase range of mo-tion. Make sure to use a blanket or towel as an insulating layer between your pet’s skin to prevent burns. After heat therapy, gentle massage therapy manipulates muscles and tissues around joints to reduce pain, stiff-ness, muscle knots/spasms, increase blood flow and promote relaxation.

Range of Motion and Stretching Exer-cises: This type of exercise helps improve joint motion and flexibility in patients.

Simple flexion and extension exercises are excellent. Find a part of the house where your pet will feel most relaxed and least likely to try to get up and move around. Manipulate each affected joint only as far as your pet will tolerate initially but hold for 15 to 30 seconds at full flexion and again at full extension. Repeat the process for three to five repetitions.

Low-Impact Exercise: The most ac-cessible (and most commonly used) low-impact exercise is controlled leash wa l k s .C ont rol led leash walks (slowly at first) will help to achieve the most normal gait possible. Slow walks increase flexibility, strength and weight bear-ing. After slow walks have been mastered, then we can increase the pace, incorporate gentle inclines or dif-

ferent surfaces (e.g., sand) to further de-velop endurance, strength, balance and coordination.

Swimming: Swimming is somewhat controversial in veterinary medicine. Some believe swimming (because of the non-weight-bearing component) is the ideal at-home exercise for older patients. Others believe the movements are too “herky-jerkey” and could lead to hyper-extension of already arthritic joints. First, access to a pool that has stairs that the pet can walk in and out of is important (this eliminates swimming in the ocean or above-ground pools). Make sure active swimming only continues for five min-utes before taking a break. It would also be a good idea to purchase a pet-specific life jacket to ensure that if your pet does tire there is no risk of drowning.

There are other physical therapy mo-dalities such as therapeutic ultrasound, therapeutic laser, transcutaneous electri-cal nerve stimulation (TENS), underwa-ter treadmills, etc. Unfortunately, these modalities are neither readily available nor inexpensive so I thought I would concentrate on therapies one could do at home. If interested in more advanced therapies, make an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss them.

Brew Cheese, a unique retail store of-fering gourmet cheeses from around the world and high-end pre-bottled 12- to 32-ounce microbrewed craft beers, has opened in the Harbor Crescent section of historic Stony Brook Village.

Owners Callie and Tim Martino, who already run Crazy Beans Restaurant in the Village, are very enthusiastic about their newest venture. Customers can en-joy an old world interior design, free tast-ings and a wide variety of cheese samples before purchase. The history of the Stony

Brook area is not lost on Tim, who made a special trip to Philadelphia to stock up on “George Washington’s Tavern Por-ter” — a dark beer brewed with molasses that Washington originally created to sat-isfy the thirsts of his officers. Related mer-chandise, including cheese boards, knives, dried meats, catering platters, gift baskets, breads and even Bavarian-style cuckoo clocks, is available for purchase as well.

Brew Cheese is located at 127 Main Street, Stony Brook. For more informa-tion and hours, call 631-675-6060.

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

He’s waited six years. He le� his home country of Germany, bringing his wife and children to Long Island. Now, months a� er � rst light and just weeks before the � rst experiments, Juergen � ieme is on the threshold of see-ing those long-awaited returns.

A physicist at Brookhaven Na-tional Laboratory and adjunct professor at Stony Brook, � ieme is responsible for one of the seven beamlines that are transition-ing into operation at the newly minted National Synchrotron Light Source II. � e facility al-lows researchers to study mat-ter at incredibly � ne resolution through X-ray imaging and high-resolution energy analysis.

“We have invested so much time and so much energy into getting this thing going,” � ieme said. “When you open the shut-ter and light is coming to the place where it’s supposed to be, that is fantastic.”

� e beamline is already over-booked, � ieme said. Scientists have three proposal submission deadlines throughout the year. � e most recent one, which end-ed on June 1, generated over 20 submissions, which � ieme and the beamline team read through to check their feasibility and then send out for a peer review.

� e proposals include stud-ies in biology, energy, chemistry, geosciences, condensed matter and materials science.

One of the drivers for the construction of the $912 million facility was developing a greater understanding of how batteries work and how to store energy.

“Although batteries are work-ing very well already, there is room for improvement,” � ieme said. � e importance of energy storage suggests that “even a small improvement can have a huge impact.”

Indeed, when he returns to Germany and drives through the countryside, he sees thou-sands of windmills creating en-ergy. Wind speed and energy demands are not correlated, he

said. “� ere is a need for an in-termediate storage of energy.”

� e NSLS-II also has the po-tential to improve commercial industries. Mining rare earth elements, which have a range of application including in cell phones, is a potentially environ-mentally hazardous process. By using the NSLS-II, scientists can see how bacteria might change oxidation states to make the ma-terials insoluble, making them easier to obtain.

For years, � ieme was on the other side of this process, send-ing proposals to beamlines to use his training in X-ray phys-ics and X-ray optics to conduct environmental science projects, including analyzing soils.

Six years ago, Qun Shen, the Experimental Facilities Division director for the NSLS-II, asked � ieme if he would consider joining BNL. � e two had met when � ieme brought students to the Argonne National Labora-tory in Chicago, where Shen was the head of the X-Ray Micros-copy and Imaging Group.

� ieme said he presented the opportunity to his family. His three children voted with a clear yes, while his wife Kirsten was hesitant. Eventually, they decided to go.

Following that o� er, � ieme looked at the future site of the facility and saw a green lawn. “I was asking myself, ‘What do I do for the next six years?’” he recalled. “I can tell you I was ex-tremely busy.”

He said he worked on design, planning and evaluations, which included numerous calculations

to decide on what to build. “One of the big aspects of construct-ing a facility at NSLS-II is to reach out to the broader com-munity and try to solicit input from them and try to develop the scienti� c capabilities to meet their needs,” said Shen. “He has certainly done very well.”

� ieme’s beamline will ac-

celerate the process of collect-ing information for scientists, Shen said. For some projects, the existing technology would take a few days to produce an image. � e beamline � ieme oversees will shorten that pe-riod enough that researchers can “test out and revise their hypothesis during the process,” Shen added.

Thieme is eager not only to help other scientists unlock secrets of matter but is also hungry to return to his envi-ronmental science interests.

� ieme and Kirsten live in Sound Beach with their 16-year-old son Nils, who is in high school. � eir daugh-ters, 23-year-old Svenja, who is studying English and history, and 21-year-old Annika, who is studying to become a journal-ist, have returned to Germany.

Thieme is inspired by the NSLS-II. “We are building a state of the art experimental station” he said. “To be com-petitive with other upcoming facilities, we have always to think about how to improve the beamline that we have right now.”

After 6 years, BNL’s Thieme sees ‘fantastic light’

Whether or not you’ve already heard of the Deliv-ery System Reform Incentive Payment Program, one thing is for certain: it’s about to change health care in our state.

In April 2014, New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that New York had finalized terms with the federal government for a groundbreaking waiver enabling the state to reinvest $6.2 billion in fed-eral savings generated by Medicaid Redesign Team re-

forms. Known as DSRIP, the program promotes com-munity-level collaborations, with a focus on improving health care for patients covered by Medicaid and those who are uninsured.

The main goal of the program is to reduce avoidable emergency room visits and avoidable hospital admis-sions among Medicaid and uninsured populations by 25 percent over a five-year period. The plan is to ac-complish this through enhanced collaboration among providers, improved electronic and direct communica-tions, and ready access to primary care and behavioral

health services. For example, offering after-hours appointments can

help patients who work full-time; translation services can assist those for whom English is a second language; and transportation to appointments can help patients who don’t have access to a vehicle or public transportation.

The DSRIP initiative for Suffolk County and its network of providers is called the Suffolk Care Col-laborative. The Office of Population Health at Stony Brook Medicine is administering the SCC and is re-sponsible for coordinating more than 500 countywide organizations, including hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, long-term home health care providers, be-havioral health professionals, community-based or-ganizations, certified home health agencies, physician practices and many other integral health care delivery system partners.

Some of the 11 focus areas of the SCC are diabetes care, pediatric asthma home-based self-management, cardio-vascular care, behavioral health access and substance abuse prevention programs. Central to all programs is a coordination-of-care effort using care mangers embedded in the community to support health care providers and patients to achieve individual health goals. Connecting with patients at the point of care, identifying needs and providing appropriate support in the community will help prevent unnecessary emergency room visits and hos-pitalizations, and support a healthier population.

Suffolk County has approximately 150,000 unin-sured residents and 240,000 Medicaid enrollees who can benefit from the program’s initiatives. And, be-cause improvements made will affect the overall health care delivery system, they have the potential to benefit everyone — enhancing the patient experience and out-comes. When providers collaborate on patient care, in-formation can be shared, test duplication can be avoid-ed and preventive measures can be put in place to help all patients stay healthier.

Stephanie Gress knows more about the history of William K. Vanderbilt II than most people. As director of curatorial af-fairs for the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum for eight years she is the stew-ard of Mr. Vanderbilt’s legacy, his estate, mansion and museum collections.

Using that extensive knowledge and a trove of rare photographs from the Vanderbilt archives, Gress created a richly illustrated book, Eagle’s Nest: The William K. Vanderbilt II Estate. Its cov-er photo, from the Vanderbilt Museum archives, is by the noted New York City photographer Drix Duryea. The picture shows the bell tower and one wing of the mansion in the late 1920s, before the Me-morial Wing enclosed the courtyard.

The book was published June 1, by Arcadia Publishing in South Carolina, the leading local-history publisher in the United States. The Vanderbilt will celebrate the book’s official launch at its annual Members Reception on Sunday, June 28.

Gress noted that the release of the book is well-timed, as the development of the Eagle’s Nest estate is in its cen-tennial decade: “This book tells read-ers about the Vanderbilt family, why Mr. Vanderbilt came here and built the estate, how the place changed over the years based on changes in his life, and how we use it today.”

Vanderbilt, known as Willie K., purchased the first parcel of what would become 43 acres for his North-port Bay waterfront estate in 1910, and hired the eminent New York City ar-chitectural firm of Warren & Wetmore to design and build it. The firm had designed Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan for Cornelius Vanderbilt’s New York Central Railroad. Cornelius was William’s great-grandfather.

Eagle’s Nest is the easternmost Gold Coast mansion on Long Island’s afflu-ent North Shore. From 1910 to 1944, the palatial, 24-room, Spanish-Revival mansion was Willie K.’s summer hide-away. There he hosted intimate gather-ings of Vanderbilt family members and close friends — including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, legendary golfer Sam Snead, and the Tiffanys.

“Mr. Vanderbilt embarked on many of his legendary world voyages from Eagle’s Nest,” Gress said, “along with a

50-person crew and a few, fortunate in-vited passengers.” During his travels, she said, he collected natural-history and marine specimens and ethnographic ar-tifacts from around the globe.

With the help of scientists and ex-perts from the America Museum of Natural History, he created exhibits in the galleries at the estate to showcase his collections. Mr. Vanderbilt died in 1944. His wife Rosamund continued to live in the mansion until her death in 1947. Vanderbilt’s will bequeathed his estate and museum to Suffolk County. In 1950, it was opened to the public as the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Muse-um. The estate is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

“Much to the credit of Willie K., Ea-gle’s Nest continues to fulfill his intended mission,” Gress wrote in the conclusion of the book. “Visitors from all over the world come to see one of the few remain-ing Long Island Gold Coast estates with its original furnishings. His collections remain on display and they continue to fascinate and entertain.”

Eagle’s Nest is available for purchase on the Arcadia Publishing, Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites, in the Vander-bilt Museum Gift Shop and in local bookstores.

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.”

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

With warmer weather upon us, we now have long, sunny days, bet-ter moods and, of course, the beach. However, longer sun exposure does in-crease the risk of skin cancer. Melano-ma is the most serious skin cancer, but fortunately it is not the most common. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cuta-neous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are more prevalent, in that order. Here, we will focus on these two types.

The incidences of these skin cancers are very difficult to pin down because they are not reported as readily. How-ever, most of us either know some-one who has had these types of skin cancers or have had them ourselves. There were roughly 3.5 million non-melanoma skin cancer treatments in the U.S. in 2006, with the number of treatments increasing 77 percent from 1992 to 2006 (1). SCC and BCC out-comes diverge, with the former having a higher risk of metastases compared to the latter, which tends to grow much slower (2).

These skin cancers may present in different ways. BCC may have a bump that is pearly, waxy, light-colored or pink or f lesh-colored or brown. It may bleed, ooze and crust, but may not heal, and can be sunken in the middle (3). SCC has the appearance of a growing nodule. It may also be scaly or crusty and may have f lat reddish patches. It may be a sore that also may not heal. It is found on sun-exposed areas, more commonly the forehead, hands, lower lip and nose (3). Interestingly, SCC de-velops over years of gradual UV sun exposure, while BCC develops more like melanoma through intense mul-tiple sporadic burns (4).

The more well-known risks for these types of skin cancer include sun expo-sure (UV radiation), light skin, age, ethnicity and tanning beds (2). But there are other risk factors, such as manicures.

avoid tanning beds — and manicures?

Skin cancer — it’s not only skin-deep

VITAMIN B3 TO THE RESCUEMany vitamins tend to disappoint

when it comes to prevention. Well, hold on to your hat. This may not be the case for vitamin B3. In the recent Australian ONTRAC study, the results show that vitamin B3 reduced the risk of developing NMSC by 23 percent, compared to those who took a placebo (9). Even better was the fact that SCC was reduced by 30 percent.

The most interesting part about this study is that these results were in high-risk individuals who had a personal history of NMSC. The par-ticipants were given B3 (nicotinamide 500 mg) twice daily for one year. Af-ter the patients discontinued taking B3, the benefits dissipated within six months. The study was on the small side, including 386 patients with two or more skin cancer lesions in the last five years, with a mean of eight lesions. The side effects were minimal and did not include the f lushing (usually neck and facial redness) or headaches seen with higher levels of niacin, another derivative. The caveat is that this study was done in Australia, which has more intense sunlight. We need to repeat the study in the U.S. Nicotinamide is not expensive, and it has few side effects.

NSAIDs AS BENEFICIAL?Results have been mixed previously

in terms of NSAIDs and skin cancer prevention. However, a recent meta-analysis (nine studies of varying qual-ity, with six studies considered higher quality) showed that especially non-aspirin NSAIDs reduced the risk of SCC by 15 percent compared to those who did not use them (10).

DIET — THE GOOD AND THE BADIn terms of diet studies, there have

been mixed positive and neutral re-

sults, especially when it comes to low-fat diets. These are notoriously diffi-cult to run because the low-fat group rarely remains low fat.

However, in a prospective dietary study, results showed that effects on skin cancer varied depending on the foods. For those who were in the highest tertile of meat and fat consumption, compared to those in the lowest tertile, there was a threefold increased risk of a squamous cell cancer in those who had a personal history of SCC (11). But what is even more interesting is that those who were in the highest tertile of vegetable con-sumption, especially green leafy vegeta-bles, experienced a 54 percent reduction in skin cancer, compared to those in the lowest consumption tertile.

Thus, know that there are modifi-able risk factors that reduce the risk of non-melanoma skin cancer and don’t negatively impact your enjoyment of summer. There may be easy solutions to help prevent recurrent skin cancer, as well, that involve both medication and lifestyle modifications.

There are also ways to reduce risk with sunscreen reapplied every two hours, de-pending on what you are doing, but also NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflamma-tories) and even vitamin B3.

Let’s look at the research.

BEYOND SKIN CANCERThough nonmelanoma skin cancers

(NMSCs) have far less potential to be deadly, compared to melanoma, there are other risks associated with them. In the CLUE II cohort study of over 19,000 participants, results show something very disturbing: A personal history of NMSC can lead to other types of cancer throughout the body (5). The increased risk of another type of cancer beyond NMSC is 103 percent in those with BCC and 97 percent in those with SCC, both compared to those who did not have a personal history of NMSC.

TANNING BEDS — NO SURPRISEWe know that tanning beds may be

a cause for concern. Now the FDA has changed the classification of tanning beds from low to moderate risk and re-quires a warning that they should not be used by those under age 18 (6). The catch is that this does not have teeth; if tanning salons ignore the new rules, there is no punishment.

However, in a newly published pro-spective (forward-looking) study, re-sults show that people’s responses to warnings depended on how the warn-ings were framed (7). Compared to the text-only FDA warning requirement, graphic warnings that emphasized the risks of skin cancer were more likely to help people stop using tanning beds, whereas graphic warnings that demon-strated the positive benefits of not us-ing these devices had no effects. So you may have to scare the daylights out of those in their teens and early twenties.

MANICURE RISK, REALLY?I am told women love manicures.

Manicures cannot possibly be dan-gerous, right? Not so fast. It is not the actual manicure itself, but rather the drying process that poses a risk. In a recent prospective study, results show that drying lamps used after a mani-cure may increase the risk of DNA damage to the skin, which could lead to skin cancer, though the risk is small per visit (8). There were a lot of vari-ables. The shortest number of visits to increase the risk of skin cancer was eight, but the intensity of the UVA ir-radiance varied considerably in 17 dif-ferent salons. The median number of months it took to have carcinogenic potential with exposure was around 35, or roughly three years. The authors recommend either gloves or suntan lotion when using these devices, al-though both seem to be somewhat im-practical with wet nails. It’s best to let your nails dry naturally.

The Facts: My daughter told me that I should have a health care proxy.

The Question: What is a health care proxy and should I have one?

The Answer: A

health care proxy is a legal document rec-ognized in New York State by which com-petent adults appoint a person to make medi-cal decisions for them in the event they are unable to make those decisions themselves.

Unlike a power of attorney that may be effective immediately upon signing, a health care proxy does not become effective un-less and until you are no longer able to make health care decisions. Although only one person can act as your health care agent at a time, in your health care proxy you should name an alternate agent in case the first person you name is unavailable.

In a health care proxy you may give your agent unlimited authority or you may list the circumstances under which your agent can act. However, if you want your agent to be able to make decisions concerning artificial nutrition and hy-dration, you must specifically state in your health care proxy that your agent has the authority to make decisions about these life-prolonging treatments. You must also mention the Health Care Insurance Portability and Accountabil-ity Act, or HIPAA, in your proxy. Most health care proxies prepared prior to 2003 are no longer valid because they lack the required HIPPA language.

Most people assume that health care proxies are only used in cases where an elderly patient is unable to make end-of-life medical decisions. However, health

care agents may also play an important role when a younger patient is tempo-rarily unconscious. Since people of all ages may lose consciousness or even slip

into a coma as a result of a serious illness or injury, I recommend that every adult sign a health care proxy to avoid conflict between family members and to ensure that their wish-es are honored.

It is important to discuss your wishes with the agents you name in your health care proxy so that they know what types of treatments and proce-dures you find accept-able and which ones you may not want to receive.

Although New York State passed a statute

in 2010 called the Family Health Care Decisions Act (the FHCA), which gives people the authority to make health care decisions for loved ones who did not sign a health care proxy, having a health care proxy is preferable because it gives you control over who will be making decisions on your behalf.

If your health care provider relies upon the FHCA to identify the per-son who will decide whether or not to provide life-sustaining treatments, the statutory decision maker may not know your wishes and may not be able to make the hard choices that are often faced by health care agents. In contrast, if you named a health care agent in a health care proxy and discussed with that agent your wishes, it will be easier for the agent to take the necessary steps to honor those wishes.

By Stacy Santini

It is hard to imagine that William K. Vanderbilt II envisioned people dancing ensconced in tie dye, Frisbees being tossed into the wind, and Grateful Dead melodies connecting with the air when he donated his 43-acre Eagle’s Nest estate in Center-port to the county in 1944, but if he were at what is now known as the Vanderbilt Museum on June 7, it is pretty certain that he would marvel at the sight. Exceptional weather with crystalline blue overhead, grassy knolls kissing azure water and or-nate gothic buildings served as a brilliant host to a Woodstock Revival.

The amazing world of event promoter, Rich Rivkin is a wonderland of Birken-stocks, hula hoops, live music, visual art-ists, bubbles, and face painters. Rivkin, who started Rich Rivkin Presents more than a decade ago, is a live art and music promo-tional entity. He has become a sort of pied piper for a community of people who love music, the energy and movement of festi-vals and fellowship. Rivkin tells us, “Look at the people around you at these events. You know that years ago they were there at those shows that the Grateful Dead and similar artists became known for — themed fes-tivals where the audience feels a tangible sense of community as they sing the same songs in unison. I wanted to recreate that.”

Rivkin is a humble and kind soul who has made a profession out of all things al-truistic. He is an environmental consultant specializing in the removal of contami-nated soil and has become a national ex-pert advisor in the field. With clients such as UPS, Rivkin’s company has more than 4,000 projects to its credit, recycling soil and bettering communities around the United States.

He is also a talented hand percussionist. Fifteen years ago he began to form drum circles so that passionate musicians like himself could collaborate with one an-other and share their work. Within a short period of time, popular local bands like Reckoning were eager to participate and one of Long Island’s first music festivals, called Elwoodstock, was born, overseen by Rivkin. Held at a public park in Elwood in 2001, musicians joined Rivkin for a day of music and togetherness. There were no

permits in place, no insurance obtained and next to zero marketing performed, but people turned out and have been turn-ing out ever since.

Rivkin recalls the moment he knew that these events were indeed something he not only wanted to pursue, but felt com-pelled to do. “It was as if we created a living room under the stars, Persian rugs and all. In the afterglow of everyone’s departure, I could still feel the vibe, the energy of the music, the sense of community. It was so personal, it actually made me cry. I had no idea in that moment how it would expand, but the seed was planted and there was no turning back.”

Known for its pristine shorelines and beaches, Long Island certainly has much to offer, but there is a movement occurring that is rapidly injecting culture into our neck of the woods and Rivkin can certain-ly be attributed for facilitating this local renaissance. Fusing world class musicians with local visual artists, his events have be-come an enclave for creators and observers

alike and Rich Rivkin Presents is synony-mous with both art forms. He has joined these communities together and created a fellowship much like the days of the 1960s when the Grateful Dead lyric, “Strang-ers stopping strangers just to shake their hands,” was the mantra. It is really quite beautiful and very much needed in such a secular society.

On Sunday, June 7, more than 50 years after the Woodstock Music Festival in upstate New York stunned a nation, the grounds of the Vanderbilt Museum were literally transformed to sustain a re-vival of that historical moment. Droves of hippy-clad professionals, music afi-cionados and art lovers alike freckled the lawns and set up camp amongst the historical landmark structures to enjoy a day of peace, love and joy. Dancing amid colorful tents, coolers and strewn blankets, attendees were treated to some of the best local music around and were able to witness the alluring process of artisans painting their canvases.

Out of the gate, the first of four bands, Jellyband, gave crowd–pleasing renditions of Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Joe Cocker favorites. Lead singer Annie Mac delivered a goose bump-inducing version of Janis Joplin’s “Piece of My Heart,” elevating the energy of the crowd to eagle-soaring heights.

Germinating the vibe, Milagro took the stage next, singing and emulating Santana as only Milagro can do, bringing us favor-ites such as “Black Magic Woman.” A wel-come addition to the familiar setlists came from the third band, Wonderous Stories, as they impeccably treated the crowd to the entire “Who’s Next” album by the incom-parable beloved rock ensemble, The Who. Essentially, one voice emanated from the crowd as “Behind Blue Eyes” settled upon the audience.

Half Step, a group that has a strong fol-lowing with the Long Island Deadhead community, was astounding and closed the day with an execution of “Morning Dew” that even Jerry Garcia would have loved. The vocals of Tom San Filippo and Cindy Lopez recreate the magic of the Grateful Dead in a manner very few can do. As well-known music photographers, such as Joel Werner and Artie Ralisch, and fan photographer Jason Cousins captured the crowd’s moments of rapture, it was apparent that there was no place on earth any of these people would have rather been. Festivalgoer Tom Schilling sums it up, “Breathtaking views, soul nurturing tunes, with my great friends, it is my favor-ite start to the season. Rivkin’s Deadfest here in September will just cap it all off.”

Rich Rivkin Presents will be indulging his friends numerous times throughout the summer with events such as Box of Rain, Long Island Sound & Art Festival and Grateful Fest. During the winter, Rivkin keeps the momentum going with indoor experiences as well. Next year, he hopes to mirror larger national festivals with a two-day camping event on a pri-vate 40-acre property on eastern Long Island. Rich Rivkin’s recipe for entertain-ing folks and bringing people together is marvelous, and one can only hope that he keeps playing his magical flute for years to come.

Culper Spy Day is upon us

Photo from Art BillodelloA replica of a Dutch 1768 single-sail boat, built at the East Hampton Boathouse from the original plans, will be on display at the Setauket Village Green during Culper Spy Day.

By BArBArA ruSSEll

Lucky is the child who listens to a story from an elder and cherishes it for years. Margo Arceri first heard the Culper Spy Ring story from her Strong’s Neck neighbor and local historian Miss Kate W. Strong in the 1970s. Today Arceri runs Tri-Spy Tours to share her knowledge of George Wash-ington’s Long Island intelligence during the American Revolution. Her perseverance has inspired the upcoming Culper Spy Day on Saturday, June 20.

Sponsored by Tri-Spy Tours, The Three Village Historical Society, The Long Island Museum, and the Ward Melville Heritage Organization, the Three Village area will be sharing its famous story with all partici-pants. Although the information about the Culpers was publicized over 80 years ago by former Suffolk County historian Mor-ton Pennypacker, it has received national attention in the last 10 years. Its rightful place among the history of the American Revolution was helped by the publication of “Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring” by Alexander Rose in 2006, “George Washington’s Secret Six: The Spy Ring That Saved the American Revolution” by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger in 2013 and the AMC Series, “TURN,” now in its second season. It happened here, and on June 20, you can learn all about it.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Ticket holders will be entitled to admission to the following locations:

1. Three Village Historical Society, 93 N. Country Road, Setauket. Located in the c. 1800’s Ebenezer Bayles/Stephen Swezey house, the Three Village Historical Society is home to the interactive Culper SPIES! exhibit and the Chicken Hill: A Commu-nity Lost to Time exhibit. Stop by and meet a visiting friend from Oyster Bay, Robert Townsend, aka Samuel Culper Jr. The gift shop will also be open.

- A one-hour Tri-Spy Walking Tour will be held at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Walk your way through the history of the Rev-olutionary War’s Culper Spy Ring. Visit Woodhull’s Farm, the Setauket Village Green, Grist Mill, Patriot’s Rock and his-toric grave sites. Meet at the entrance of Frank Melville Memorial Park.

- A historic district walking tour as it pertains to the Revolutionary War will

depart from the entrance of Frank Mel-ville Memorial Park at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m. Visit Patriot’s Rock, the cemetery where the leader of the Setauket Spy Ring is buried and the homes of early residents. 631-751-3730.

2. Thompson House Medicinal Garden, 91 N. Country Road, Setauket. Self-guided tour. Doctor Samuel Thompson was a colo-nial era doctor and farmer. According to his diaries, members of the Culper Spy Ring, including Abraham Woodhull and Austin Roe, were among his patients. 631-751-2244.

3. Caroline Church of Brookhaven, 1 Dyke Road, Setauket. Docents will lead a tour of this church and its adjoining cemetery.

4. Setauket Presbyterian Church, 5 Car-oline Ave., Setauket. Docents will lead a tour of the historic church, circa 1812, and its adjoining cemetery, which dates back to the 1600s. Abraham Woodhull of George Washington’s Spy Ring, genre art-ist William Sidney Mount and early settler Richard Floyd, grandfather of William Floyd, are buried here. 631-941-4271.

5. Setauket Village Green, Main Street, Setauket. A replica of a Dutch 1768 single-sail boat will be on display here. During the Revolutionary War, the Village Green was the location of the Battle of Setauket, a skir-mish between Tory and Patriot troops that took place on Aug. 22, 1777. Prior to the battle, it was called Meeting House Green where meetings were held during the early settlement period of the mid to late 1600s.

6. Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, 120 Main St., Setauket. Circa 1892. The library will present a demo of its interactive Spy Ring Tour, and materials and databases related to the Culper Spy Ring will be on the library lawn. Military paraphernalia will be on display in the Library lobby. Stop by and meet Anna Smith Strong and her “magic clothesline.” 631-941-4080.

7. Joseph Brewster House, Route 25A, Setauket. Circa 1655, it is considered to be the oldest home in the Town of Brookhav-en. During the Revolutionary War, the house was owned by Joseph Brewster, first cousin of Culper Spy Caleb Brewster and

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

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

By EllEn BarcEl

Recently, a reader came across a beautiful tree on the campus of Suffolk County Community College in Selden in late May with absolutely gorgeous yellow flowers. What could it be, she wondered?

After a bit of quick research I was able to identify it as a golden chain tree (Laburnum). A native of the moun-tains of southern Europe and Asia Mi-nor, it is in the pea family. That, how-ever, does not make it edible as all parts of the plant are poisonous, including the seed pods that follow the flowers in summer. If you decide to go with this plant, put it in an area where young children and pets can’t snack on it.

The pea family is a big one. Most are legumes, that is, are nitrogen-fixing plants. They contain a symbiotic bac-teria in their roots that takes nitrogen from the atmosphere for the plant’s use. Other plants in the pea family in-clude the sweet pea, soybeans, edible peas, peanuts, carobs, the black locust tree and kudzu.

The golden chain tree (Laburnum x watereri “Vossii”) blooms in late May and early June for about three weeks with racemes that are about 10 to 20 inches long filled with gold to yellow

flowers. Do not confuse the golden chain tree with the golden rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata), a native of China and India. See my column of April 9 of this year for further infor-mation on the golden rain tree.

Some call this small (15 to 20 feet at mature height and about as wide),

quick growing, deciduous tree a “Gold-ilocks plant” since it is very specific in its needs. It does best in hardiness zones 5 to 7. Since it evolved in a moun-tainous area, it’s logical that it doesn’t like extreme heat. It does best in a soil pH that is near neutral to alkaline. As so much of Long Island has very acidic

soil, test your soil first and add lime to the soil if it is substantially below 6.6.

For optimum flowers, plant in a sunny or only slightly shady location. Since you will probably have to add lime to your soil for this one, and it likes sun, growing it as a small speci-men tree in a lawn will provide both of these requirements — you probably lime your lawn periodically anyway. It prefers moist but well-drained soil.

The larvae of some Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) use it as food, a plus for those gardeners wishing to help wildlife. Wear long sleeves and gardening gloves when planting or pruning as some people are allergic to the tree.

Monrovia, one of the suppliers of the golden chain tree, notes that it can be espaliered. This means that it can be pruned into a flat shape to grow against a fence, wall or pergola. If you decide to espalier your tree(s), you might con-sider interspersing it with vines that bloom later in the season to prolong the bloom time as the flowers last just a few weeks under optimal conditions.

Green was named to the fi rst team, while Giosia earned a spot on the second team.

Th e Seawolves led the America East with two selections, and the only other representative from the conference was Vicky McFarland from the University at Albany. Senior Allison Cukrov was se-

lected to the second team in 2014. Green set Stony Brook single-season

records with 19 home runs and 52 RBIs, leading the America East in both catego-ries, while hitting a career-best .435. She was a National Fastpitch Coaches Asso-ciation All-Region selection.

Giosia, the Stony Brook career RBI leader, hit .382 with 12 home runs and 46 RBIs. She was a fi rst team All-Confer-ence selection.

By EllEn Brady

Most of the important occasions of my life, many of them happy, occurred in the month of June.

Achievement in school was always very important to me, and all my graduation ceremonies, including from college and graduate school, were in long ago Junes. My first time flying, an international flight to Belgium to spend the summer with my cousins the summer after sixth grade; my road test and prom; my first job; my engagement, wedding and the birth of my first child; the purchase of my first home — all these milestones took place in June. And yet, every year, around Memo-rial Day, when someone says, “Can you believe it’s go-ing to be June in a few days?” my first thought is always of Father’s Day.

Father’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. To me, it seems less commercial than Christmas, Easter, even Mother’s Day. For me, those holidays are fraught with stress. Decorating, the pressure of buying the right gifts, hidden (and possibly imagined in my mind) ex-pectations and trying, or being too overwhelmed to try, to make everything “right” kill any pleasure I could possibly experience on those occasions.

But Father’s Day is easy for me. I know I feel this way because of my dad, Dave Brady, affectionately and with tongue-in-cheek referred to by friends and family as Mr. Fun. He was a quiet, humble, unassuming man who seemed to have no expectations. Thus celebrating his presence in my life was always easy. A simple gift of Old Spice anything, or a beanbag ashtray or some new handkerchiefs purchased from the clothing store on Main Street in my hometown, which had long al-lowed my family to purchase “on account,” was exactly what he needed, or so he let me believe. My sister and I would bake a cake for dessert, and that was about all

the attention and doting he could handle.My father wasn’t an active parent; he left most of the

child-rearing responsibilities to my mother, who there-fore couldn’t be easygoing and gentle, the very qualities I loved about my father. He didn’t ask about my friends, or if I needed help with my homework or if everything

was going okay at school. But that didn’t matter to me. We spent much of our time together comfortably sit-ting in silence. In the warm weather, we would sit on the front porch of our family home, reading or work-ing The New York Times crossword puzzle, listening to the breeze rustle the leaves and the birds singing — we would watch the world go by.

My father died suddenly on Jan. 12, 1999, from a burst abdominal aortic aneurysm. It was two weeks before my 30th birthday, and I was moving to Florida with my husband in a week. I had barely ever left home, let alone lived outside the metro New York area. I was 19 weeks pregnant with my first child. Instead of a baby shower/going away party at my job and the 30th birth-day/going away party my mom was planning, we had a wake and a funeral. I was devastated, and in a moment of desperate grief, I cried to my husband, “Who’s going to take care of me now?”

It wasn’t until many years later, after the birth of my daughters, when I was reflecting on what being a mother means to me and what I want to give to my chil-dren, that I realized what my father had given me. I was bowled over with the power of the realization — my father gave me the greatest gift a person can give — un-conditional love. He had no expectations of me giving him the perfect gift, or showing my love by spending enough money. He didn’t care if I was the smartest or was the most athletic or the most musical. He didn’t care if I kept my room clean. All he needed to be happy and at peace was to know that his beloved wife, his chil-dren and their spouses and his grandchildren were safe and happy. I aspire to give my husband and children the same gift of unconditional love.

By the way, yesterday my husband and I closed on the purchase of my — and my father’s — childhood home … another milestone recorded in the book of Junes.
