Have fun but avoid the spring break nightmare American College of Emergency Physicians’ do’s and don’ts for an enjoyable vacation The American College of Emergency Physicians wants every college student to remember spring break positively — fun in the sun, warm beaches and crystal clear water following months of hard work and dedication. They do not want anyone’s spring break adventure to be remembered as a terrible medical emergency nightmare. As vacationers prepare for spring break, keep in mind, not everything is a tropical paradise, especially when it comes to your health. “Emergency physicians see so many serious injuries or illnesses during spring break vacations,” said Dr. Nick Jouriles, president of ACEP. “A lot of those are a direct result of bad personal choices that could have easily been avoided.” A few extra things you throw in your suitcase can make the difference between a vacation to remember versus one you try to forget.

Do’s • DO wear sunscreen, at least SPF 15 or higher. Apply it generously throughout the day. • DO wear a hat outdoors and a good pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes. • DO wear a life vest when boating. • DO swim with a buddy and try to stay close with people you trust at all times. • DO drink plenty of water, especially when in the sun or if you are sweating heavily. • DO know your surroundings, who you can call for emergencies and where exactly local emergency departments are located. • DO get enough sleep. Don’t overdo the activities. Sleep deprivation equals bad decision making. • DO protect yourself against sexually transmitted

diseases such as herpes or HIV, as well as unintended pregnancies. The best advice is abstinence. But if you do have sex, use a condom. • DO use your own judgment. If you’re with a group involved in questionable activities resist the urge to join in. • DO take any medications and proof of insurance along with you. • DO get proper training from experts before taking part in athletic or skilled activities like surfing, water-skiing and scuba diving. • DO carry a cell phone with you at all times in case of emergencies. • DO trust your instincts. You know what’s right, you know what’s wrong.

Don’ts • DON’T consume illegal drugs. • DON’T drink alcohol if you plan to drive, boat or swim. • DON’T drink alcohol if you’re underage. • DON’T binge drink. Alcohol poisoning will almost certainly land you in the emergency department, or even worse. • DON’T assume everything is okay if you feel like you’re getting ill. If you feel ill, it’s your body’s way of saying slow down. Listen to it. • DON’T go to an isolated place with a stranger or someone you do not fully trust. • DON’T just think about the impulse, think about the consequences. “We want everyone to have the time of their lives, but not at the cost of their health and safety,” said Dr. Jouriles. “We do not want to have to treat you inside an emergency department when you should be out having fun.”

Follow the recommendations of the American College of Emergency Physicians to have a fun-filled and safe spring break.

For more information about heat stroke, sunburns, alcohol poisoning and other related topics, go to the ACEP’s website at www.emergencycareforyou.org. ACEP is a national medical specialty society representing emergency medicine with nearly 27,000 members. ACEP is committed to advancing emergency care through continuing education, research and public education. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, ACEP has 53 chapters representing each state, as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. A Government Services Chapter represents emergency physicians employed by military branches and other government agencies.

Relief from

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Lori Gersbeck, RN, has been an emergency department nurse for most of her 18 years at Mather Hospital. “I’m at my best when the pace is fast,” Lori explains. Although there are always challenges, she says, “The reward is turning critical patients around and knowing that they’re going to be all right.” Lori adds that providing care doesn’t end with the patients. “Helping to make family members feel at ease by reassuring them that we’re giving their loved one our best possible care is an important part of our job too.”

Be healthy ... Be wise

Gain heart-healthy wisdom at Mather Hospital’s Cardiowise Café 2009

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women. The most common type of heart disease is coronary heart disease, which frequently appears as a heart attack. Risk factors for heart disease among adults include: hypertension, high blood cholesterol, physiciandiagnosed diabetes, obesity, current cigarette smokers and lack of physical activity. Fortunately, the chance of developing heart disease can be significantly reduced by changes in habits and lifestyle. The chances of surviving a heart attack can be increased by knowing the signs and symptoms and taking immediate action. On Thursday, March 26, Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson is presenting its 14th annual Cardiowise Café. Several of Mather’s top physicians and staff will speak on a variety of cardio-care: Statin Drugs — The Good and the Bad (Dr. Owen Yen), Sudden Cardiac Arrest (Dr. George Carayannopoulos), Neurology - Time is Brain (Dr. Michael Sauter) and Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (Randy Ackerman, RD, CDN). Chief of Cardiology Dr. Peter Bruno will present an overview and be the evening’s emcee. “Even small changes can make a big difference,” said Ackerman. “A

healthy diet doesn’t mean giving up everything you love to eat — most of us could do without a second helping. “Changes in habits and lifestyle are powerful, effective and life saving,” states Ackerman. The ultimate keys to surviving or preventing a heart attack and stroke are education and awareness, and that’s what the Cardiowise Café is all about. Heart-healthy food samplings will be provided by: Applebee’s, Blond, Café Spiga, Carnival Restaurant, C.P. Lamanno’s, Curry Club, Eastern Coffee Products, Ferraro’s Deli & Gourmet Coffee House, Fratelli’s Marketplace, Gallo Tropical, Gio’s, Great Wall Restaurant, Hartlin Inn, J.T.’s Corner Café, La Bonne Boulangerie Bakery, LaCasa Restaurant, Lombardi’s on the Sound, Rolling Pin Bakery, Sicily Ristorante, Three Village Inn, Towne & Country Market, Truffles and Z-Pita. Sponsors of the Cardiowise Café are Jefferson’s Ferry, Medtronic USA, Inc., Siemens, Boston Scientific, AstraZeneca and Sanofi-Aventis. The event is co-sponsored by Times Beacon Record Newspapers. The event is free to the public, but space is limited. So, register now for the 14th annual Cardiowise Café at Mather Hospital. Call 476-2888, or visit www. matherhospital.org/cardiowise.

Your heart and all your blood vessels make up your cardiovascular system. Some types of cardiovascular disease are congenital — we are born with them. Others we acquire from a lifetime of poor habits and lifestyle choices, like smoking, which damages your arteries and causes atherosclerosis. Below are some specific forms of cardiovascular disease.

Guess who hasn’t been to The Varicose Vein Center?

Stroke A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted (ischemic stroke) or when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures (hemorrhagic stroke). Both can cause the death of brain cells in the affected areas. Stroke is also considered a neurological disorder because of the many complications it causes. Other forms of cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure, increase your risk of stroke.

Coronary artery disease The most common form of cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of heart attacks is coronary artery disease. It occurs when the coronary arteries become obstructed, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle, which can lead to other heart problems, such as chest pain (angina) and heart attack (myocardial infarction).

Non-Surgical Treatment for Varicose Veins and Spider Veins

Injection-Compression Sclerotherapy

While some congenital defects are apparent at birth, others may not be detected until later in life.

Aneurysm An aneurysm is a weakness or bulge in an artery or vein wall, which usually gets bigger over time and has the potential to rupture, causing life-threatening bleeding. They most commonly occur in the abdominal aorta and the arteries at the base of the brain.

Valvular heart diseases Valvular heart disease refers to diseases of the heart valves. Four valves in your heart keep blood flowing correctly. Valves can be damaged by a number of conditions resulting in narrowing (stenosis), leaking (regurgitation or insufficiency) or improper closing (prolapse). This disease can be congenital, or the result of damage by such conditions as rheumatic fever, infections, connective tissue disorders, radiation treatments for cancer and certain medications.

Pericardial diseases Pericardial diseases are diseases of the sac that encases the heart. These include inflammation and fluid accumulation. These problems can occur alone or together. Causes vary.

Heart attack

Heart failure

A heart attack is an injury to the heart muscle caused by a loss of blood supply. Interrupted blood flow to your heart can damage or destroy a part of the heart muscle. Cardiomyopathy simply means diseases of the heart muscle. Some types are genetic, others are less well understood. One of the most common types of cardiomyopathy is idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy — an enlarged heart without a known cause.

Heart failure is a condition in which your heart can’t pump enough blood to meet the needs of your organs and tissues — causing such symptoms as shortness of breath, fluid retention and fatigue. The term “congestive” heart failure refers to situations in which heart failure has led to fluid buildup in the body. Heart failure can develop suddenly or over a period of many years. It can be the result of other cardiovascular conditions that have damaged or weakened the heart.

Congenital heart disease

Arrhythmias

Congenital heart disease refers to a form of heart disease that develops before birth, and includes a wide range of diseases and conditions that can affect the formation of the heart muscle or its chambers or valves.

Arrhythmias are heart rhythm problems that occur when the electrical impulses in your heart, which coordinate heartbeats, function improperly resulting in your heart beating too fast, too slow or irregularly.

How Money Affects the Brain These days, so many are sharing the same financial boat. All of us are struggling to do the job while beset by ever-shrinking budgets. In education, cutbacks are affecting universities from coast to coast. Just when other nations are turning out more brainpower, the United States is in danger of falling behind. Only yesterday, the world was clamoring to get into American universities. We are still the gold standard, but international competition for that distinction is growing fast. The world is catching up and, in some cases, passing us by. At Stony Brook University, we feel the pinch that everyone else is feeling, maybe even more so. Because to us, there is no larger issue than education. What else but education can turn out the brains that create new science and technology, then use the discoveries to develop more and better jobs? For each generation’s future, for the nation’s future, nothing comes close to the benefits of enhanced brainpower. But can we help shape those brains for the long haul if we shortchange our universities today?

‘Through the Looking Glass’ on display at HPL Huntington artist Ewa K. Adamczyk Alvarez draws inspiration from nature BY ELLEN BARCEL leisure@tbrnewspapers.com

“Through the Looking Glass,” an exhibit of paintings by, not Lewis Carroll, but Ewa K. Adamczyk Alvarez, has recently opened at the Huntington Public Library. Actually, “Alice in Wonderland” is a favorite story of Adamczyk Alvarez. “My mother used to read it to me and my sister … When I paint, I go into another reality.” Many of her paintings are based on images seen through a lens. While Adamczyk Alvarez doesn’t have a microscope herself, she has researched and studied sights as seen through microscopes, through the Hubble telescope and through a camera lens. “Some [of my paintings] are based on microscope images. A lot are impressions I get and things form in my mind. I’m influenced by [what I see]. They get translated — an image, new on its own emerges. I’m inspired.” Some pictures — she paints in oils and watercolors primarily — resemble gorgeous, hand-dyed fabric designs such as “Cnidarians” and “Blue Plankton.” “I love fabric. I’ve never designed it, but I collect it. I quilt, too.” Alvarez, who has shown her work locally and in Washington, D.C. where she previously lived, notes that “I don’t put the business of art high. It’s not a priority. It’s all about making the paintings … I’m a lifetime artist. I do work part-time in the library, but painting and photography — that’s my job.” Most of the subjects of her paintings are from nature. Protecting the environment is very important to her. “I’m committed to portraying the beauty of nature. That’s been one of the driving forces” in her art. She looks at “how patterns repeat … how things are interconnected … We’re just part of a huge picture. All liv-

ing beings in the world are important.” Many of her paintings, such as “Blood and Cells,” “Volvox I,” “Volvox II and “Chlorella” look like they came from another world, which in a way they do, the world of the miniscule. One painting looks like a plant from another planet. Actually, noted Adamczyk Alvarez, “I used to work at the Smithsonian. I took pictures of the plants in the garden.” Those pictures inspired the green and yellow, oil on canvas, “Anemone xhybrida.” Other paintings resemble microorganisms swimming in pond water, but as Alvarez notes, she is inspired and the work is transformed, as is obvious with the strong, intense colors — reds, oranges, blues and greens — she uses in her work. She notes, “One of the forms I use in my work is the mandala. This geometric pattern is of Hindu origin and represents the cosmos metaphysically from the human perspective.” The paintings in her Mandalas series are reminiscent, however, of looking through an everchanging and colorful kaleidoscope, but in her hands, become an instant captured on paper forever. Some of her works are reminiscent of fractals such as “Please Do Not Climb This Rare Tree” and “Volvox Mandala II.” Adamczyk Alvarez herself noted that she was fascinated with “how patterns repeat — capillaries look like tree branches.” Adamczyk Alvarez studied fine art and art history at Boston University. Her interest in art comes to her naturally. Not only is her mother an artist, “she’s the person I get the gene from” (her father is a scientist), but there was also another artist in the family as well, her mother had mentioned. “Recently I’ve been working in water colors because I have small children and oils are messy. Now [that they are getting older] I’m getting back into the oils.”

Alvarez was born in Poland and immigrated here with her parents in 1986, “right before the big changes. It was harder to leave when we left. It’s like a different world there now.” Alvarez and her husband have two sons and live in Huntington. “Through the Looking Glass” may be seen during regular library hours through May 18. Adamczyk Alvarez’s website site is www.ewakaa.com.

Local Remodeling Project Wins Award for Contractor The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) named Barry Goggin Construction Corp. of Ronkonkoma, 2008 Contractor of the Year (CotY) in its annual awards competition in the category of Whole House Renovations. The home is located in St. James. The young homeowners praised the contractor and said “After presenting our ideas to him, he was able to offer his ideas as well and came up with a renovation plan that was both realistic and exciting for us.” Barry Goggin Construction has been doing Home Remodeling on Long Island for the past thirty-one years and has received eleven awards from the local chapter of NARI and eight awards on the Regional level and one National award. The company focuses on house additions and dormers as well as kitchen and bath remodeling. Contractors from seven regions around the country vie for CotY Awards on an annual basis. Most projects submitted for judging were an improvement or an addition to an existing structure. Otherwise, new construction projects were not eligible. Judging for regional awards took place at the Association’s national headquarters in Des Plaines, Illinois, in early January. An impartial panel of judges who are experts within the industry and associated fields, selected winners based on each entrant’s “before and after” photography and project description. Judging was based on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty and entry presentation.

Trophies this year will be awarded at the 2009 Evening of ExcellenceSM in Atlanta, Georgia on March 28, 2009, where National CotY Winners and Achievement Award Winners will also be announced and awarded. The Evening of ExcellenceSM is widely considered to be the premier event of the year in the remodeling industry. The event will be attended by more than 400 of the industry’s elite To be considered for a CotY Award, a company must be a NARI member in good standing. NARI members represent an elite group from the approximately 800,000 companies and individuals in the U.S identifying themselves as remodelers. Barry Goggin is a member and Vice President of the NYC/LI Chapter of NARI, the only trade association dedicated solely to the remodeling industry. With more than 7,000 member companies nationwide, the Association -- based in Des Plaines, Illinois, -- is “The Voice of the Remodeling Industry” TM. Barry Goggin was designated a Certified Remodeler from NARI in 1995 after completing an extensive education process and an eight hour exam.

Reel stories focus on real stories at film series Arts council documentary series continues in Port Jefferson and SBU Wang Center BY ED BLAIR leisure@tbrnewspapers.com

This is the second part of an article which ran on Feb. 19. The Greater Port Jefferson-Northern Brookhaven Arts Council is once again providing audiences with the opportunity to enjoy reel realities by presenting critically acclaimed documentary films. The arts council is the only organization on Long Island that sponsors a film series exclusively devoted to documentaries, and six outstanding selections have been scheduled for screening on Monday evenings during March and April. As in the past, presentations will be interactive, with guest speakers associated with the films on hand to discuss the documentaries and answer questions from the audience.

‘Please Vote for Me’ “Please Vote for Me,” a 2007 documentary, follows an election in China as three 8-year-olds, each aided by two “campaign assistants,” attempt to prove their worthiness to fellow classmates. To garner votes, the students sing or play instruments, engage in debates in which they point out their personal qualifications, as well as the shortcomings of

their opponents, and summarize their candidacies in culminating speeches delivered in front of the class. The candidates’ parents coach them through the process, and pressure mounts in the battle to win votes. The campaign takes its toll, especially on the losing candidates and their assistants. Is democracy a universal value that suits human nature? The film, which will be shown on Monday, March 23 at the SBU Wang Center, offers insight into the question. Marsha Laufer, chairwoman of the Brookhaven Democratic Committee, will be on hand for audience discussion following the showing.

BUSINESS DIRECTIONS

The Facts: I recently purchased a house. In my contract of sale it stated that the house was being sold “AS IS.” However, in the contract the seller represented that the roof was free of leaks. When I took possession of the house, I found that the roof leaked.

Join Us As Business Speaks on Trends And Opportunities with News And Views by Industry and Professions Leaders from Huntington to Wading River

The Question: Can I sue the seller to recover the money I paid to fi x the roof? The Answer: Despite the “AS IS” language in the contract, you can sue to recover the cost of repairing the roof. Although you cannot sue the seller for breach of contract, you can sue for fraud if you can show that the seller knew about the problem before the closing. Generally when you purchase property, it is your responsibility to inspect the property and determine if there are problems that need to be addressed. The seller is not obligated to tell you about a leaky roof unless you specifically ask about the roof. If a seller knows about a problem but denies its existence when questioned, he takes the chance that he may be sued for fraud.

UPCOMING PROFILES

March 26 REAL ESTATE &

April 30 BANKING

In your case, despite the fact that the contract provided that the house was being sold “AS IS,” the seller made a specific representation about the condition of the roof. If the seller had not represented that the roof was leak-free, you would not have a claim against him. However, by making the representation, the seller negated the “AS IS” language with respect to the roof only. It is important to note that if you sue to recover the cost of fi xing another problem with the house, your case will be dismissed since the seller did not make any representations about other aspects of the house.

Our Feature Section will run the last week of each month in all seven Times Beacon Record weekly newspapers:

The lesson to be learned is that honesty is the best policy. As a seller, if you are asked a question, you should answer as truthfully as possible and avoid making any representations in the contract that are not accurate.

Seniors

Our seniors who have been hit hard by the drop in their 401(k)s and other pension plans may still be a bit leery about investing in any one dividend stock. I suggest that they might try an exchange traded fund (ETF), which operates similarly to a common stock but holds many high-dividend payers. The fact that the fund holds many dividend-paying securities in its portfolio minimizes your risk if any one company lowers its dividend in this volatile market. Even some of the most desirable dividendpaying corporations have had to cut their dividends recently to preserve cash in order to further grow their business. General Electric, Pfizer and U.S. Bancorp are but three of many who’ve done so. ETFs that I recommend are: • Standard & Poor’s 500 ETF (NYSE: SPY). Its price of $76.09 per share on March 13 was about half its 52-week high.

• Dow Jones Select Dividend ETF (NYSE: DVY) invests in the 100 highestyielding U.S. securities that have a fiveyear history or longer. • Among mutual funds, Vanguard Dividend Growth (VDIGX) carries a miniscule expense ratio, a 2.79 percent yield, and a five-star rating, the highest, from Morningstar. That would be my choice for this year.

Savvy investors

Our savvy investors should do their homework and watch Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), showing an 8.8 percent yield, selling at over 12 times earnings. It rose $1.81, closing at $14.54 on March 13. The world’s biggest drug maker surged 9.6 percent after it said a late-stage study showed its cancer drug, Sutent, delayed progression of a rare form of pancreatic cancer. Pfizer halted its study of Sutent to enable all patients in the trial to take the drug after it became apparent that the medication successfully treated the disease. Sutent is currently approved for treating advanced kidney cancer as well as gastrointestinal tract tumors. Your chances of making a rather quick short-term profit with Pfizer are better than picking the winner of the Kentucky Derby. That’s if for now. Stay healthy and optimistic and enjoy lots of luck with your investments. Ted Kaplan, a former stockbroker, is a longtime investor.

Delivering Fuel is Their Business... Delivering Financial Services is Ours. A lot has changed since Chet and Charlotte Sinclair started their fuel oil business 55 years ago. Yet, they still run the family-owned company on the same principals which it began… dependability, good service and knowledgeable employees. So when Quogue Sinclair Fuel, Inc. looked for a financial partner to help “fuel” their growth, they wanted a bank that runs its business in the same style as the Sinclairs run theirs… They chose Suffolk County National Bank (SCNB). Quogue Sinclair found a stable, strong, financial partner that “delivers”– not only for them with flexible banking and lending options – but for their employees as well with a comprehensive, cost-effective medical plan.* Seated, Quogue Sinclair Fuel Proprietors Chet and Charlotte B.

Sharing the Best Ideas in Medicine with You As a leading academic medical center, Stony Brook University Medical Center believes in sharing knowledge not only with the next generation of doctors, but also with our community.

OUR EXPERT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS Michael Egnor, MD Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Stony Brook University Medical Center

What Can Be Done to Help Prevent Brain Injury in Children?

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, so we spoke to Michael Egnor, MD, Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Stony Brook, on steps parents can take to help prevent brain injury in their children.

What are the best ways to help prevent brain injury in children? The number one thing a parent can do to help protect children from injury is to make sure that their child wears a helmet every time he or she rides a bicycle, scooter, or skateboard. Prior to New York State’s bicycle helmet law, we saw a number of children with severe, sometimes fatal head injuries from bike falls or from being hit by a car while riding. After the law, we saw a dramatic drop in both head injuries and the fatalities from them. The even better news is that these lowered numbers have been sustained. One note about bike helmets: It is important that they fit properly. If it doesn’t stay on the head during a fall, it is of no use. Another key way to prevent pediatric head injuries is to use car seats, booster seats, and appropriate child restraints when driving with children. Organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) (www.nhtsa.gov) offer specific guidelines, but the rule of thumb

is to place children in the back seat. This is a safer position, and helps keep children away from the front seat airbag, which may cause serious head and neck injury, possibly even death, when deployed. In general, babies should be in rear-facing car seats, small children should be secured in front-facing car seats, and larger children should use a booster seat or a shoulder strap device. This is recommended because in many children the shoulder strap rides up, hitting them at neck level and can cause serous cervical spine injuries if the vehicle gets into an accident. The booster seat or adaptive shoulder strap in effect realigns the shoulder strap in a safer position across the shoulder and torso. Stony Brook has a Safe Kids Program that coordinates NHTSA safety courses, including inspection of car safety seats and instruction on proper installation and use. Safe Kids also teaches helmet safety at seminars held in schools and local organizations, and hosts safety days and bike rodeos.

What are some tactics to use when a child refuses to wear a helmet or to buckle up? One trick is to show them what the professionals do. Lance Armstrong, the most famous cyclist in the world, would never get on a bike without his helmet.

Or look at skateboarding champion Tony Hawk, who always wears his helmet. Reinforce safety measures from day one to help build good habits. Make sure that children know to never get on a bike without a helmet or into a car without fastening the seatbelt.

What other potential causes of brain injury should parents be aware of? We have seen injuries related to trampolines, including children who have landed on their head or neck. In older children and teens, parents should be aware of the potential for diving accidents. In about 50 percent of cases of catastrophic injuries, alcohol is involved. It is important to ensure that responsible adults supervise pool parties and other events where swimming and diving are involved.

What distinguishes Stony Brook in treating brain injuries? Having the only Level I Trauma Center in Suffolk County allows us to deal with serious injury immediately, which is key when minutes count. In general, the higher the level of trauma care available for head injuries, the better. The full extent of the injuries may not appear immediately, so it is important for a patient to be at a place like Stony Brook, where a neurosurgeon can be available quickly, and an operating room that is fully equipped for Level I trauma is accessible. Our team has six board-certified neurosurgeons, each of whom are at the top of their field. We have one of only 150 boardcertified pediatric neurosurgeons in the country, and another who

Are sports injuries a concern?

performs highly specialized

The few serious injuries we treat from organized sports are almost always unusual accidents that probably couldn’t have been prevented. We see mild concussions—mild because most organized sports require helmets. We are seeing the most head injuries right now in skateboarding, especially in young teens, who might think it’s just not cool to wear a helmet.

When you’re looking for convenient and affordable ways to eat healthy, take a good look at potatoes. The humble spud can boast of having nearly half of the Recommended Daily Value for vitamin C and of being one of the best sources of potassium and fiber in the whole produce section. Pound for pound, potatoes are one of the least expensive items in the produce department. And these versatile veggies can be a savory side dish or part of a hearty entree — in 20 minutes or less. All materials are courtesy of Colorado Potato Administrative Committee. For more recipes and ideas for making potatoes part of your healthy diet, visit www. coloradopotato.org. Grilled potato skewers Yield: 4 servings 2 medium Colorado Russet, white or yellow-flesh potatoes or 6 small red potatoes 2 medium zucchini 1/2 of a smoked sausage rope 1/2 cup Italian dressing 4 12-inch skewers Preheat grill. Cut medium potatoes into 6 equal pieces, or cut red potatoes in half. Cut each zucchini into 6 slices. Cut sausage into 12 slices. Place 3 pieces potato, zucchini and sausage on each skewer, alternating them. Place skewers in shallow baking dish and pour Italian dressing over them. Marinate for 5 minutes. Place skewers on grill and cook 5 minutes on each side or until potatoes are done. Use oven mitts to remove skewers from grill. Chicken and potato pot pie Yield: 2 servings 2 medium Colorado Russet, white or yellow-flesh potatoes or 3 to 4 small red potatoes 1 chicken breast (6 to 8 ounces) 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) cream of chicken soup 1 cup frozen vegetable blend 1 package refrigerated pie dough 1 egg, beaten Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.

Test your soil before you get started gardening Knowing the soil’s current condition will guide you in selecting the appropriate fertilizers BY ELLEN BARCEL leisure@tbrnewspapers.com

There’s an old saying that “knowledge is power.” One of the least expensive, yet one of the most useful things you can do for your garden, is to become knowledgeable about your soil, that is, test it. Depending on either the kit you purchase or where you take your soil to be tested, you will get results in four areas: soil pH (a condition of the soil) and the three major nutrients required for plant growth (plant food). The question that gardeners frequently ask is “What does it all mean?” Before we start, remember that organic gardening refers to growing plants using natural fertilizers (and pest control) as opposed to chemical fertilizers (and pest control). Some people swear that organic fertilizers are better. Others say the nutrients in chemical fertilizers do the same things that the nutrients in organic fertilizers do. Below is a discussion of the pH and nutrients, not how they are introduced into the soil (that is using organic supplements or chemical ones).

Soil pH Soil pH refers to how acid or alkaline your particular soil is. It is a condition of the soil. Most gardeners on Long Island will find that their soil is more on the acidic side, that is, below a pH of 7 which is neutral. Many plants people routinely see thriving on Long Island, including rhododendron, azaleas, various pines, mountain laurel and blueberries do very well in acid soil. So, too, do oak trees, also commonly seen doing well in our area. Chances are if you live on Long Island, you are not going to have to make your soil more acidic, but, if you do, there are several fertilizers (Miracid, Hollytone, etc.) on the market which have the effect of lowering the pH while providing nutrients at the same time. But, many grasses and some veggies do better in a more neutral soil. If your soil is quite acid and you are

growing a lawn or have a vegetable garden you may need to add lime to make the soil sweeter (less acid). Lime can take up to three years to break down and have a major effect of the soil and therefore on your plants. So, follow manufacturer’s directions but be patient. If you add lime and then don’t bother in future years, the soil will gradually become more acidic again.

Major nutrients Sometimes plants don’t thrive or don’t produce flowers or fruit and you may wonder why. I once had a gardener be very surprised when I told her that one reason her hydrangeas may not be blooming well is that they haven’t been fed. Yes, just like you need food, so do your plants. The three biggies for growing plants successfully are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (potash). Unless your soil has a certain amount of these three nutrients, your plants won’t flourish as you want them to. • Nitrogen (N) is essential for leaf growth. Plants which are grown primarily for their leaves benefit from nitrogen (for example, lawns). If you find that your plants are putting out lots of leaves, but not setting fruit, you may have too much nitrogen in the soil or you may be using a fertilizer which has a high nitrogen content (the first number of the three on plant food packages). • Phosphorous (P) helps general plant growth and health and fruit and seed development. • Potassium (K) is needed for general plant growth and health. Once you have tested your soil and have the results, follow the directions in the test kit for supplementing the soil to create optimal conditions for plant growth.

Fertilizing in general Since most home gardeners are not chemists and don’t want to spend hours learning about fertilizers, learn from

the experts. They’ve done the hard work for you. When you go shopping for commercially made fertilizer, read the label. If you’re growing roses, select a fertilizer which specifically indicates that it is designed to optimize rose growth and blooms. The same is true for lawns, and fruits and veggies. So, yes, you may need to get several different types of fertilizers depending on which plants you are feeding. There will be more on soil testing next week.

Kay’s journey began as a registered nurse living in quaint Sayville village raising four small children. Although she was busy as a mom, wife and nurse she found time to pursue her passion for jewelry. She started selling from home and work, and as her popularity grew, added an addition to her home for larger parties as well taking on a bigger selling force to address the growing demand. Her customers were delighted with the gorgeous unique pieces she brought them, but even more so with her professional warm approach. One Sunday morning (25 year ago), she saw a rental advertisement for a wonderful old building located on Main Street in Sayville. She knew this was the opportunity she was waiting for and wasted no time making that location hers. Here we are twenty-five years later and this mom, wife and nurse has become one of the most respected and admired businesswomen on Long Island. She finds time to give back so much and is often recognized for her many contributions. Here are but a few of the accolades she receives consistently: Friends of Education Award, Centennial Service Award for professional excellence, Past President of the Greater Sayville Chamber of Commerce, serves on the board The American Lung Association and so much more. Kay has a strong commitment to our community and most of all she cares. Her jewelry store is always filled with smiling faces both in front and behind the counters.

This year we have some financial challenges so for the first time we have gone to the artists and asked them to come to our aid. I’ve always been reluctant to ask artists to donate work because for many of them they have their own economic problems but we need their help this year. I have been amazed, overwhelmed, and totally grateful at the response. The extraordinary items donated will be on exhibit at Gallery North from March 18 through March 26 and then auctioned on the evening of March 27 at the Three Village Inn. I am hoping that the community will respond as generously and overwhelmingly as the artists. The proceeds will be used for Gallery North exhibits and educational programs. I hope that people will come and make generous bids. It should be a win-win situation. For Gallery North the proceeds from the auction mean that exhibits and programs can continue and for the community bidders their generosity means taking home a fabulous keepsake and keeping a cultural institution vibrant.Gallery North is located at 90 North Country Road, Setauket.

Possessing A Passion For Her Profession

Kathleen Quinn and daughter Kayla Quinn

After graduating with a BS from NYU, Kathleen Quinn spent the next 25 years in the healthcare profession. She decided to combine her work experiences and heritage to open an Irish Gift Shop. On August 2, 2002, in the lovely village of Sayville, Kathleen, along with her sister Lauren, opened Irish Crossroads Ltd. After 5+ years in Sayville, the shop has now moved to East Main Street in Patchogue where business has been thriving. “Having a shop that you are totally responsible for in terms of successes and failures has more than compensated for the larger supply and demand situations that occur in the healthcare environment. Getting to know customers, some on a fi rst name basis, is humbling. Helping a customer select the gift that is just right for any occasion is not only gratifying but knowing I made the recipient happy is wonderful. Many times I am just there to listen to the joys and sorrows that the customers bring through the door with them” says Kathleen. The manufacturers and suppliers of the store merchandise are also adding to the enjoyment of Kathleen’s retail experience. She has had jewelers take ideas that customers have thought about and made them reality. Some sales reps have asked her opinion and forwarded her suggestions on to manufacturers. Many of Kathleen’s vendors, located in Ireland, have shared history and customs with her that she passes on to her customers. Having successfully made the transition from “the new shop in town” to the “customer friendly shop” has also allowed Kathleen to expand and diversify some product lines. “We now have a custom embroidery section that does work with not only an Irish theme but most designs that bring a personalized touch to a product.” Lauren has since relocated, and now Kathleen’s daugter, Kayla, has taken over her aunt’s position in the company. “Knowing that in my absence Kayla can handle any situation is very reassuring. She is a great asset when evaluating new trends and product lines to offer at the shop”, remarks Kathleen. In these rough economic times, Kathleen’s store offers many products for numerous occasions, in all price ranges.She is very proud of the fact that many of her new customers are seeking the shop out because of customer referrals. To visit “Irish Crossroads” is to experience a bit of Ireland through Kathleen & Kayla ... oh “the Luck of the Irish.”

For the past 2 and one half years, Sweetleaf has brought to the area innovative styles of the hottest new urban designers, filling the store with comfortable, contemporary looks for women of all ages. Two sisters, Kelli and Randi, who grew up in the Three Villages, have taken great pride in selecting brands that are simple and comfortable, all with a fashionable twist. The girls are always on the lookout for new brands unique to the area, allowing you to experience little known designers and the gems they have to offer. They feel these designers make versatile, timeless, yet trendy clothing that will make you look and feel your best. Additionally, many of the brands carried at Sweetleaf donate a percentage of the proceeds to various charities and causes. Sweetleaf is dedicated to making a difference through fashion. It was a proud sponsor and participant in the Little Miracles Fashion Show, a fundraiser for childhood cancer survivors. It also participated in Shop for a Cause to raise money for Long Island Response. In May, Sweetleaf will be participating in a fashion show to raise money for a local soup kitchen. Sweetleaf is grateful for the support of the community and plans to continue its fundraising activities.

Certified Professional Organizer Eileen Koff of To The Next Level has been transforming disorganization into order since 1998. So how does this nationally recognized Golden Circle member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) improve her client’s quality of life? “Eileen not only helped me physically organize my materials for my homebased office, reported Sharon Block, “ but she also got to the root of why I was living with such chaos. She trained me how to manage my life and prioritize, ensuring that I’ll never find myself in the same dire circumstances”. “Transitions in lifestyle are a major reason clutter becomes insurmountable,” says Eileen.

The same can apply to divorce, the onset of a terminal illness or a death in the family – these can bring us to a breaking point where we simply need to ask for help. Eileen is available as a motivating and engaging speaker for your next event. Let her exceed your expectations of what getting organized can mean to your life. She invites you – To the Next Level.

FIL M Continued from page B17 life presents. The film, which will be shown at Theatre Three on Monday, April 6, is sponsored by Autism Speaks, a New York City based advocacy organization. There will be no charge for admission. After the film, Carol and Eric Solomon and Michele and Ralph Iallonardi, parents of children affected by autism, will speak with the audience.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Four Seasons Lodgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our revenge on Hitler. To live this long, this well, is a victory.â&#x20AC;? These are the words of Fran Lask, a survivor of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in World War II. Each summer, Lask joins fellow holocaust survivors at the Four Seasons Lodge in the Catskills, where they come together to celebrate their lives. Director and New York Times journalist Albert Maysles captures the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for living in his 2008 documentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four Seasons Lodge,â&#x20AC;? showing at Theatre Three on Monday, April 13. In contrast to their harrowing wartime experiences, the tightly bonded group dis-

plays a spirit, energy and wit that belies the haunting memories of times past. Their positive outlook is punctuated by their raucous poker games, intoxicating laughter and dancing that goes on until dawn. Moving and entertaining, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four Seasons Lodgeâ&#x20AC;? offers a last glimpse at a vanishing fraternity of individuals before they recede into history. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s producer, Matthew Lavine, will be available for questions and discussion following the screening. The Greater Port Jefferson-Northern Brookhaven Arts Council, supported by a number of local sponsors, seeks to present award-winning documentary films and interactive experiences to interested and involved audiences. Admission to the documentary presentations, except where noted, is $5; $4 for students, seniors and arts council members; Stony Brook students admitted free to the Wang Center. All screenings begin at 7 pm. Theatre Three is located at 412 Main St., Port Jefferson. For more information, call the arts council at 473-5220 or visit the website at www.gpjac.org.

‘Little Women’ opens at the Engeman Theater The heart-warming musical, based on the Alcott novel, strikes a magical chord in Northport BY ELISE PEARLMAN leisure@tbrnewspapers.com

“Little Women the Broadway Musical,” based on the book by Allan Knee and featuring music by Jason Howland and lyrics by Mindi Dickstein, opened at Northport’s John W. Engeman Theater last Thursday. The show is a lively, light-hearted romp through the pages of Louisa May Alcott’s semi-autobiographical coming-of-age saga of the March sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy, set during the Civil War. Born into an era when women’s roles were narrowly prescribed, Alcott, like her literary alter-ego, Jo, dreamed of breaking free from society’s constraints and turned out fiery tales of seduction and violence under a pen name. However, it was not until she wrote about homespun family values, sisterly bonds and the triumphs and tribulations of a shared New England childhood that Alcott achieved the success that previously eluded her. Little Women, the first in a series of books about the March family and its descendents, was published in 1868. As the musical opens, Jo March is reading from one of her sensational “blood and guts” novels to Professor Bhaer, a fellow lodger in a Manhattan boarding house who does not find this type of writing much to his liking. As Jo reminisces about better days, the scene changes and we are magically transported back in time to a particularly difficult Christmas at the March family homestead in Concord, Massachusetts. Despite the fact that the girls and mother Marmee desperately miss Mr. March, who is away at war, and there is no money for gifts or a tree, they make the best of what little they have. The steadfast idealist Jo, who has been assisting Aunt March in an effort to support the family, reiterates her dream that she will put an end to the family’s financial woes by becoming a famous writer. The women, bolstered by their love for each other, pledge to remain a foursome forever.

But eventually changes do come, in terms of friendships that blossom into romance, life-altering experiences, and even death. Sara Sheperd, who has a beautiful singing voice and appeared on Broadway in “Cry Baby,” reaches deep within to give Jo the range of emotion that this role demands. Her gift for comedy and that of the cast are showcased in a scene in Act II where Jo reads from her newly improved “Operatic Tragedy,” and the cast does remarkable double duty as characters which include a damsel in distress, a swashbuckling villain and a laughable troll. Anne Tolpegin, whose recent Broadway and national tour credits include “A Tale of Two Cities,” “Ragtime,” “Mamma Mia” and “Les Misérables,” excels as Marmee, the family’s steadfast and comforting anchor. Her rendition of the song, “Days of Plenty,” is one of the show’s highlights. The strength of the show rests on the ability of Kim Carson (Meg), Amber Ward (Beth) and Kally Duling (Amy) to project unique personae, and each rises to the challenge admirably. Carson is perfect as the hesitant beauty who blossoms as she discovers true love. Ward conveys the goodness and fragility of sweet-natured Beth and Duling will delight and surprise the audience with her stunning transformation from the petulant youngest sister to a woman of the world. The diverse trio of suitors Josh Adam Davis (John Brooke) who has many television roles to his credit, Artie Sievers (Laurie), who recently appeared in “The Full Monty,” and Gary Lindemann (Professor Bhaer), who has played in the Broadway production of “Phantom of the Opera,” create great interest with their earnest but awkward missteps towards love. Barbara Tirrell, whose Broadway and national tour credits include “Wicked,” brings a genuine comic flourish to her role as Aunt March, the etiquette-obsessed matron who rules with an iron tongue. John Little is also perfectly cast as Mr. Laurence, the forbidding neighbor who evolves into

a family friend. The set designed by Paul Weimer, known for his work as associate set designer for “Shrek, The Musical,” and “Spamalot,” is a minimalist one which resonates with simplicity and elegance. A single piece is often used to summon up a much larger context, as when a blossom-laden bough suggests the outdoors, or large wooden cross beams, an attic. Weimer succeeds in enlisting the audience’s imagination, and in showcasing the cast’s talent without distracting from it with a heavy, overly sentimental set. One of Weimer’s biggest challenges was accommodating the many location changes, which are accomplished seamlessly with the use of sliding platforms, panels and drapes. There are 18 original songs, several of which are revisited in reprises. Meg learns the proper etiquette for handling suitors at her first ball during the lilting refrains of Continued on page B40

Continued from page B39 “Delighted.” In the course of a duet “Off to Massachusetts,” stern Mr. Laurence reveals his softer side to Beth. Feelings of love, hope and grief are ignited by “Some Things are Meant to Be,” a heart-rending duet between Beth and Jo, and in Marmee’s deeply moving “Days of Plenty.” Producing Artistic Director Richard Dolce said that it was the music that first attracted him to the show, adding that its surprising contemporary flair is very effective in drawing the period piece into the 21st century. As always, conductor Donny Jones and his orchestra do a superlative job. Major kudos go to Martin Vreeland, whose use of lighting to convey depth and mood, as well as to delineate transitions between scenes, goes beyond masterful. Many

Have you given thought to your teen’s senior prom? Supervision is needed for not only the prom but other related activities Parents are helping students to rent hotel rooms and beach houses. Adult supervision, at best, is poor or nonexistent. If there is supervision, the supervisors often turn a blind eye to drinking. Too often, the alcohol consumption, as well as drug use, is out of control. Students will deny hard-core drug use, but do not see a problem with recreational pot smoking or the use of prescription drugs among friends. In an ideal world, high school seniors should be able to go away for a weekend with minimal supervision, have a great time and make all the right social decisions. Unfortunately, we don’t live in an ideal world, but rather a very narcissistic world, where social decision-making is oftentimes impaired. Too many good kids can be victimized by the destructive decisions of others.

How many more teenagers need to die senselessly because of the reckless decision-making of others, before we, as parents, step up and parent? Reverend Pizzarelli is the director of Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson.

THE

Last week, I had some comments on the expense of the modern high school prom. Today, we need to take a look at another, more serious problem. The drinking issue in recent times is out of control. A growing number of pre-prom parties serve alcohol. Many parents will take the position that alcohol is not permitted at their gatherings. So, prom goers will drink before they get to the party or drink in their cars. Then, there are those parents who see nothing wrong with a beer or two, or a cocktail before the prom. They take the position that the prom is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, that it’s supervised and that the participants are not driving, but being driven. Their postscript is that they’re going to do it anyway, so let’s keep them safe. There are a numBY THE REVEREND ber of problems with FRANCIS PIZZARELLI, S.M.M. that kind of thinking. First, it’s reckless and irresponsible. Secondly, if the young people in question are under 21, it’s illegal. As parents, we have to ask the question: what kind of message are we giving our seniors by not holding them accountable? This senior experience has become more stressful for high school administrators because of supervision. For too long, many high schools were lax in enforcing the school’s code of conduct at the prom. If any student was found with alcohol, it was confiscated. He/she was allowed to continue to participate in the evening’s activities. If a student was found drunk at the prom, the student’s parents were called and the student was sent home. In a former time, these social circumstances were minimal. Unfortunately, today they are escalating to a dangerous level. Schools have hired security personnel to screen limousines as they arrive to make sure there’s no alcohol stashed in the vehicle. Students are then screened before entering the prom. During the evening, security personnel discreetly mix and mingle, and check the bathrooms throughout the evening. Normally, students are not allowed to leave the prom and then return. If they leave before the event is finished, they are not welcome back. More and more school principals are having senior assemblies before the prom, outlining very clearly what is expected and what social behavior will not be tolerated. They are also very clear about the consequences, if someone is found in noncompliance. This outline of expectations and consequences is signed by both senior prom goers and their parents. The major consequence for noncompliance is not being permitted to walk with your class at graduation. Students who have broken these rules will be given their diploma by mail after graduation. That is a pretty tough consequence. One would think that no senior would risk participation in commencement for the sake of an evening of drinking. However, there are always students who think they are invincible and that they can put one over on the system, especially if their parents cover for them. A number of high school communities have tried to enforce this consequence. Unfortunately, many have caved in to the pressures of parents and other voices, who thought the consequence was too stiff. One principal did have the courage to stick to the signed agreement. A senior boy, who was a scholar athlete and very popular, got drunk at the prom. He was not permitted to walk with his class. There was a tremendous outcry when word got out. The principal felt for the student, but also felt compelled to enforce the consequence. She said just because he’s a good student and well-liked by many is not justification to excuse him from being accountable for his poor decision-making. The new challenge for high school administrators is what to say and do about post prom activities. More and more senior classes are sponsoring weekends in the Hamptons.

SBU wins OT thriller McBride scores three, including game winner to beat Delaware Sophomore Jordan McBride scored a goal — his third of the game — with 2:57 remaining in double overtime to lift the Stony Brook Seawolves to a 10-9 win against Delaware on March 14 at LaValle Stadium. The win was Stony Brook’s third of the season, giving them a record of 3-2 so far. Sophomore Timmy Trenkle scored a hat trick for the Seawolves. McBride’s and Trenkle’s respective three goals led the Seawolves, with Trenkle’s output a career high. Junior Tom Compitello had three assists for Stony Brook,

also a career best. Junior Charlie Paar fi nished with 17 saves in goal. Curtis Dickson led all players with his four goals for Delaware (2-5). “That was a heck of a game,” said Stony Brook head coach Rick Sowell. “I am really proud of my guys for the way that they battled today. Our defense got us some big stops late in the game, particularly in overtime. Delaware threw a bit of a curve at us the way they defended us, but we overcame that with a couple of man-up goals. Overall, it was a great effort for us.”

The game was tight throughout, and in the fi rst overtime period both teams had a number of opportunities to score and fi nish the game. In the fi rst two minutes of the fi rst overtime, Stony Brook got off three shots after sophomore Adam Rand won the opening faceoff, but Delaware goalie Noah Fossner was solid in net. The Blue Hens regained control and took five shots in about a minute but none were on goal, forcing a second overtime. After Rand won the faceoff again, Continued on page A46

Massachusetts snaps two-game SBU Lax winning streak with 14-9 victory Haley Smith helped Massachusetts (34) break a Stony Brook two-game winning streak by scoring a career-high six goals on March 14 at McGuirk Stadium, leading her team to a 14-9 nonconference win. Seniors Amy Hallion and Kim Wodiska and sophomore Samantha Djaha each had two goals for the Seawolves (3-5). Wodiska also finished with two assists and a team-high four shots on the goal. Junior Mickey Cahill, who was solid in goal, finished with 15 saves for Stony Brook. Massachusetts was up 4-0 before Stony Brook scored its first goal when Hallion fed Wodiska for her sixth goal of the season at 19:16. Cahill kept the score close for her team, making six saves in the first 20 minutes. Stony Brook cut the deficit to two at 4-2 when Wodiska picked up a ground ball on a shot from Djaha, tallying her second goal of the game. The Minutewomen took a 7-2 lead before senior Jenna Celano’s free-position goal with 11 seconds left got the Seawolves within four, 7-3, going into halftime. Stony Brook and Massachusetts trad-

ed goals to start the second before the Seawolves scored three straight. Djaha, sophomore Courtney Bertolone and Hallion each had tallies to get the Seawolves within one, 8-7. Cahill continued her solid play, stopping a free-position shot and forcing another one wide. At 21:07, Holly Drown’s first goal of the game made it 9-7, but sophomore Melissa Cook would score on a free-position goal at 14:06 to get Stony Brook within a goal again at 9-8. Jackie Lyons’ tally at 12:15 made it 10-8, but Djaha’s goal on an assist from freshman Abby Ford was the Seawolves’ final of the game. Smith had two of the Minutewomen’s four more goals as they won 14-9. The Seawolves competed against Denver on March 18, but results were unavailable by press time.

cut Stony Brook’s lead in half at 2-1 after scoring at 3:51, which gave Delaware huge momentum. The Blue Hens went on a 3-0 run in the second quarter with two goals by Curtis Dickson and one by Kevin Kaminski. Trenkle then scored his fi rst goal of the game for the Seawolves to make it 4-3 Delaware. Stony Brook then capitalized on a man-up opportunity, as McBride and Compitello worked together to tie the game 4-4 with 2:01 left in the second. The Seawolves took the

With 2:03 on the clock, Compitello was able to send a pass to the front of the Delaware goal to McBride who put it away for a Seawolves win.

lead at 5-4 after junior Mike Palmer passed off to Kevin Crowley who found the back of the net. Delaware regained the lead with two goals in the third. The Blue Hens were looking to add to their lead when junior Steven Waldeck forced a turnover and scooped up the ground ball. Taking advantage of the transition opportunity, he took it the length of the field and fired a shot past Fossner to tie the game at 6-6. Freshman Kyle Belton then scored with 3:54 left in the third, putting the Seawolves

back on top, 7-6. Delaware tied it up on a Dickson goal late in the third, but Stony Brook didn’t let up and stuck twice in a minute span in the fourth to take a 9-7 lead. But the Blue Hens were able to tie the game once more with Dickson and Mark Steverson goals. Stony Brook competed against Lafayette on Tuesday, but results were unavailable by press time. The team will hit the road once more on March 21 to compete against Denver. Their next home game will be on March 28 against UMBC.
