SHARING THE BEST IDEAS IN MEDICINE

The Benefits of Cancer Immunotherapy Clinical Trials At Stony Brook University Cancer Center, part of our mission is to discover more effective, easierto-tolerate therapies for patients.

One way we do that is with clinical trials that investigate new cancer treatments. Alison Stopeck, MD, medical oncologist, and Associate Director for Clinical and Translational Research at Stony Brook Cancer Center, and Michael Pearl, MD, gynecologic oncologist, and Medical Director, Clinical Trials Operations, Stony Brook Cancer Center, answer questions about clinical trials that explore breakthrough cancer immunotherapy treatments that can change the future of cancer medicine.

What is immunotherapy for cancer?

Immunotherapy is many different types of treatments. The objective of immunotherapies is to activate the body’s immune system — specifically the white blood cells called T cells — to effectively identify and destroy cancer cells.

• Some forms of immunotherapy use drugs called “immune checkpoint inhibitors,” which help improve T cell function and prevent them from being inactivated by cancer cells.

• Another immunotherapy approach, called “personalized cell therapy,” adapts the genetic make-up of immune cells so they can find and attack specific cancers.

• Researchers are also creating vaccines designed to teach the immune system how to recognize and destroy cancer before it can take hold or come back.

What happens in a cancer immunotherapy clinical trial?

Depending on the goals and process of a particular trial, it may be designed to: • make a person’s immune system better able to recognize and fight cancer • improve results by combining immunotherapy approaches or supplementing chemotherapy and radiation with immunotherapy • train the immune system to recognize and destroy cancers that come back after the first cancer has gone.

What is Stony Brook’s approach to cancer immunotherapy clinical trials?

We’re asking important questions and thinking outside the box to create better, safer therapies that can have the most impact on our patients on Long Island. We’re investigating breakthrough ideas ... novel approaches that will make a real difference.

What types of cancer immunotherapy clinical trials does Stony Brook have?

We have a very active clinical trials program that is testing several different immunotherapies. Here are a few of our current or soon to be initiated cancer immunotherapy clinical trials: • For patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread, trials are testing drugs that activate T cells and natural

killer (NK) cells and trigger the entire immune system to produce an anti-cancer response.

• Additional trials try to increase the immune response by directly killing tumor cells to make them release antigens, which the immune system will use to fight the cancer.

• Another trial is looking at the effectiveness and feasibility of changing the cellular environment of certain organs to make them less appealing to cancer.

Are there specific benefits for Suffolk and Nassau county residents?

Definitely. At the Cancer Center, part of our mission is to focus on the medical needs specific to Long Islanders. So, it’s only natural that we would conduct immunotherapy trials that are designed to help us discover better ways to diagnose, prevent and treat the cancers that people in our community are getting.

How can a patient learn about a trial that might be right?

The patient’s doctor will discuss any appropriate cancer immunotherapy trials with the patient. We always have a wide range of clinical trials that qualified patients may join, and patients and their families are always welcome to ask about any trials that might be available. Of course, there’s never any obligation to join a trial.

It’s electrifying!

‘Grease’ returns to local theaters In celebration of its 40th anniversary, “Grease” will return to select movie theaters nationwide on April 8, 11 and 14, courtesy of Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies.

Based on the 1971 Broadway musical, the movie, starring John Travolta as greaser Danny Zuko and Olivia Newton-John as his sweet and innocent girlfriend Sandy Olsson who dance their way through their senior year at Rydell High, was a smash hit when it was released in 1978, becoming the highest grossing film of the year and it is still the second-highest grossing movie musical of all time.

The cast also included Stockard Channing (Rizzo), Didi Conn (Frenchie), Jeff Conaway (Kenickie), Eve Arden (Principal McGee), Sid Caesar (Coach Calhoun) and Annette Charles (Cha Cha DiGregorio) with a special appearance by Frankie Avalon.

The movie’s unforgettable soundtrack, which includes such hits as “Summer Nights,” “Hopelessly Devoted to You,” “You Are the One That I Want” and “Sandy,” was the second best–selling album of 1978, behind “Saturday Night Fever,” which also starred Travolta.

“Whether you’ve seen it dozens of times and know the words to every song, or you’re in for the rare treat of seeing it for the first time, watching ‘Grease’ on the big screen with an audience is an unforgettable experience that we’re delighted to offer movie lovers,” said Tom Lucas, VP of Studio Relations at Fathom Events.

The screening will include an exclusive commentary from TCM Host Ben Mankiewicz who will give insight into this classic film that has become a pop culture phenomenon.

Participating movie theaters in our neck of the woods include AMC Loews Stony Brook 17, 2196 Nesconset Highway, Stony Brook at 2 and 7 p.m. on April 8 and 11 and at 2 p.m. on April 14; Farmingdale Multiplex Cinemas, 1001 Broadhollow Road, Farmingdale on April 8 at 2 p.m. and April 11 at 7 p.m.; and Island 16 Cinema de Lux, 185 Morris Ave., Holtsville on April 8 at 2 p.m. and April 11 at 7 p.m. To purchase your ticket in advance, visit www.fathomevents.com.

CSHL’s Doreen Ware explores rice, sorghum genes Harnessing the Technology of our Research Giants

SPOTLIGHTING DISCOVERIES AT (1) COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB (2) STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY & (3) BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB

Weekly horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF In a two-month span, members of Doreen Ware’s lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have published three articles that address fundamental properties of plants.

Printed in the journal Nature Genetics, researchers in her lab studied the genes involved in conferring disease resistance across a range of species of rice. Another study, featured in Nature Communications, found the genes and the molecular pathway that determines the number of fertile flowers in the cereal crop sorghum.

In Frontiers in Plant Science, her productive team identified the causal genes that enable sorghum to develop a waxy outer layer that allows it to resist drought by containing water vapor.

“I am pleased with the recent publications from the laboratory,” Ware, who is also a computational biologist for the U. S. Department of Agriculture, explained in an email. “This is a sign of productivity, as well as the impact [technological] advances and drop in sequencing [costs] that is supporting these science advancements.”

‘I want to understand mechanistically how the outputs in a genome interact with one another to produce a product.’

— Doreen Ware Her lab is interested in the link between the genes in a plant and the way it develops.

“I want to understand mechanistically how the outputs in a genome interact with one another to produce a product,” Ware said. This will allow the lab to inform breeding models.

“We would like to use the biological mechanism to support predictive modeling.”

In the rice article, Ware, informatics manager Joshua Stein at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and University of Arizona plant scientist Rod Wing searched for the specific genetic sequences

different species of rice around the world use to develop resistance to infections by fungi, bacteria and other pathogens.

They used wild varieties of rice that had not been domesticated and looked for signals in the DNA. These were selected by their collaborators based on phenotypes that may be of value to introduce into domesticated varieties.

Stein looked at rice in areas including Asia, Africa, South America and Australia.

Through this analysis, he was able to focus on specific genetic sequences that helped these species survive local threats.

As a first step, Stein explained, they have identified all of the genes in these species, but do not yet know which are important for local adaption. This article could provide information on the region of the genome that had disease genes that have been successful over time against threats in the environment.

One potential route to reducing dependency on pesticides is to introduce natural resistance or tolerance. By providing multiple ways of defending itself, a plant can reduce the chance that a pathogen can overcome all of these defenses.

“This is a similar strategy that is used to address both viral diseases and cancer treatment,” Ware explained.

Boosting the defenses of some of these crops with genes that have worked in the past is one strategy toward sustainability, although the scientists would need to work on the specifics to see how they were deployed.

Stein explained that his role in this specific study was to annotate the genes by using computer programs to look at DNA sequences. Stein used a process called comparative genomics, in which he studied the genes of numerous species of rice and compared them to look for similarities and differences.

“Because these different species grow in different climates and geographical ranges, they will be locally adapted to those regions,” Stein said.

“Those genes might be important to improve cultivated rice.”

A solid week is ahead for you, Aries.

However, some surprises can pop up on a day when you need a little extra sunshine in the routine. Embrace the unexpected.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, your relations with authority figures are very good right now. Do your best to maintain this both in the short and long term. You will benefit from having done so.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, a surprise invitation may come your way this week. You aren’t sure if you have the time or the gumption to accept at this point. But give ample thought to accepting.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Doreen Ware As climates change and people and materials such as seed crops move around the world, rice may need to develop a resistance to a bacteria or fungi it hasn’t encountered much through its history. Indeed, even those species of rice that haven’t moved to new areas may face threats from new challenges, such as insects, fungi, bacteria and viruses, that have moved into the area.

By understanding successful adaptive strategies, researchers like Ware and Stein can look for ways to transfer these defenses to other rice varieties.

Stein likens the process to an arms race that pits pathogens against food crops. “There are real examples of where a resistance gene has been transferred from a wild species to a cultivated species using traditional approaches,” he said. This includes knocking out specific genes in wheat that provide powdery mildew resistance.

Ware’s lab also produced an article in which they explored the genetic pathway that tripled the grain number of sorghum.

The grain is produced on the panicle, which has many branches. In a normal plant, more than half of the flowers are not fertile, producing fewer grains.

“We have recently published a paper on a variety of sorghum where nearly all of the flowers are fertile, increasing the grain number on each head,” said Ware.

The work was led by Yinping Jiao and Young Koung

Lee, postdoctoral researchers in Ware’s lab. Jiao focused on the computational analysis while Lee explored the development.

The researchers reduced the level of a hormone, which generated more flowers and more seeds. Other researchers could take a similar approach to boost yield in other grain crops.

Employing a commonly used technique to introduce new variation to support trait development, Department of Agriculture plant biologist Zhanguo Xin created a new variant that resulted in a change in a protein. This plant had a lower level of the hormone jasmonic acid in the developing flower.

The researchers believe a reduction in the activity of a transcription factor that controls gene regulation caused this.

“We are currently exploring if this is associated with a direct or indirect interaction with biosynthetic genes required to make the plant hormone,” Ware said.

Early in January, Ware’s lab also produced a study in which they used mutations in sorghum to reveal the genetic mechanism that enables the plant to produce a wax that helps with its drought resistance.

Ware suggested these studies are linked to an underlying goal. “In human health, genomics and mechanism support the development of management of disease and in some cases cures,” she explained. “In agriculture, it leads to improved germplasm development and sustained agriculture.”

Cancer, even though you may want to spend time at home — and maybe make a cocoon under the covers — there are some things you need to face if you are going to move forward.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, you are full of clever ideas that you are eager to share with co-workers and people at home. Pace yourself so you don’t overwhelm others with information.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, an opportunity to earn more money will catch your eye this week.

Even if it seems a little risky, it could be well worth pursuing.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

This can be a fun-loving week for you, Libra, if you embrace the opportunities for letting loose. You may feel impulsive, and that’s okay in moderation.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, home repairs and renovations are on the brain. You are ready to pour your energy into changing your home spaces for the better. Start making an idea board.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a very fast-paced week is ahead. The good news is that any related unpleasantness will move by quickly, and you can focus on enjoying the fun parts.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, work relationships can be unpredictable, which means you may need to reevaluate your approach. A change in tone or direction may be all that’s needed.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, travel plans can change on a dime, but you are adaptable. It’s not the destination, but the journey. Take someone along for the ride.

HELPING YOU NAVIGATE TO OPTIMAL HEALTH

David Dunaief, M.D. Integrative Medicine

• A Whole Body Approach • Reversing, Preventing & Treating Chronic Disease and Managing Weight

by Connecting Conventional Medicine with Lifestyle Modifications Our Philosophy is simple.

We believe wellness is derived through nutritional medicine and lifestyle interventions that prevent and treat chronic diseases.

Medications have their place - and in some cases can be lifesaving.

However, there’s no medication without side effects. The goal should be to limit the need for medications - or minimize the number of medications you take on a regular basis.

You are not limited by your genes.

Fortunately, most diseases are based primarily on epigenetics, which are environmental influences, and not on genetics. Epigenetics literally means above or around the gene. In epigenetics, lifestyle choices impact gene expression. Just because your first degree relatives may have had a disease, you are not predestined to follow suit.

We are specialists who will partner with your primary care physician.

A standard medical education does not integrate enough nutritional medicine and other lifestyle interventions. We bridge that gap.

We use evidence-based medicine to guide our decision-making.

The amount of research related to nutrition and other lifestyle issues continues to grow rapidly, with many studies showing significant beneficial effects on health.

We treat each patient as an individual.

We will work with you to develop a plan that allows you to take a proactive role in managing your own health. The health outcomes are worth the effort.

Is disease reversal possible?

Absolutely! Study evidence has found this to be true, and many of our patients have experienced reversal of diabetes, autoimmune disorders, migraines, and cardiovascular disease, just to mention a few. In many cases, because of their exceptional results, our patients have been able to reduce or eliminate their medications.

Reducing osteoarthritis effects

NEWS AROUND TOWN

Diet and exercise changes may slow progression

Not surprisingly, osteoarthritis is widespread. The more common joints affected are the knees, hips and hands. There are three types of treatment for this disease: surgery, involving joint replacements of the hips or knees; medications; and nonpharmacologic approaches.

The most commonly used first-line medications are acetaminophen and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs,

By David such as ibuprofen.

Dunaief, M.D. Unfortunately, medications mostly treat the symptoms of pain and inflammation.

However, the primary objectives in treating osteoarthritis should also include improving quality of life, slowing progression of the disease process and reducing its disabling effects (1).

Dairy and milk

When we think of dairy, specifically milk, there are two distinct camps: One believes in the benefits, and the other thinks it may contribute to the disease.

In this case they both may be at least partly correct. In the Osteoarthritis Initiative study, an observational study of over 2,100 patients, results showed that low-fat (1 percent) and nonfat milk may slow the progression of osteoarthritis (2). The researchers looked specifically at joint space narrowing that occurs in those with affected knee joints. Radiographic imaging changes were used at baseline and then to follow the patients for up to 12 to 48 months for changes. Compared to those who did not drink milk, patients who did saw significantly less narrowing of knee joint space.

Was it a dose-dependent response? Not necessarily. Specifically, those who drank less than three glasses/week and those who drank four to six glasses/week both saw slower progression of joint space narrowing of 0.09 mm. Seven to 10 glasses/ week resulted in a 0.12 mm preservation.

However, those who drank more than 10 glasses/week saw less beneficial effect, 0.06 mm preservation compared to those who did not drink milk. Interestingly, there was no benefit seen in men or with the consumption of cheese or yogurt.

However, there are significant flaws with this study. First, the patients were only asked about their dietary intake of milk at baseline; therefore their consumption could have changed during the study. Second, there was a recall bias; patients were asked to recall their weekly milk consumption for the previous 12 months before the study began. I don’t know about you, but I can’t recall my intake of specific foods for the last week, let alone for the past year. Third, there could have been confounding factors, such as orange consumption.

Oddly, this was not a dose-response curve, since the most milk consumption had less beneficial effect than lower amounts. Also, why were these effects only

seen in women? Finally, researchers could not explain why low-fat or nonfat milk had this potential benefit, but cheese was detrimental and yogurt did not show benefit.

We are left with more questions than answers.

Would I recommend consuming lowfat or nonfat milk? Not necessarily, but I may not dissuade osteoarthritis patients from drinking it. There are very few approaches that slow the progression of joint space narrowing.

Vitamin D

Over the last five years or so, the medical community has gone from believing that vitamin D was potentially the solution to many diseases to wondering whether, in some cases, low levels were indicative of disease, but repletion was not a changemaker. Well, in a randomized controlled trial (RCT), the gold standard of studies, vitamin D had no beneficial symptom relief nor any disease-modifying effects (3).

This two-year study of almost 150 men and women raised blood levels of vitamin D on average to 36 ng/ml, which is considered respectable. Researchers used MRI and Xrays to track their results.

Glucosamine

There is raging debate about whether glucosamine is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis. In the latest installment, there was an RCT, the results of which showed that glucosamine hydrochloride was not effective in treating osteoarthritis (4). In the trial, 201 patients with either mild or moderate knee pain drank diet lemonade with or without 1,500 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride.

There was no difference in cartilage changes in the knee nor in pain relief in those in the placebo or treatment groups over a six-month duration. Bone marrow lesions also did not improve with the glucosamine group. The researchers used 3T MRI scans (an advanced radiologic imaging technique) to follow the patients’ disease progression. This does not mean that glucosamine does not work for some patients.

Different formulations, such as glucosamine sulfate, were not used in this study.

This could not be an article on osteoarthritis if I did not talk about weight. Do you remember analogies from the SATs? Well here is one for you: Weight loss, weight loss, weight loss is to osteoarthritis as location, location, location is to real estate. In a study involving 112 obese patients, there was not only a reduction of knee symptoms in those who lost weight, but there was also disease modification, with reduction in the loss of cartilage volume around the medial tibia (5).

On the other hand, those who gained weight saw the inverse effect. A reduction of tibial cartilage is potentially associated with the need for knee replacement. The relationship was almost one to one; for every 1 percent of weight lost, there was a 1.2 mm³ preservation of medial tibial cartilage volume, while the exact opposite was true with weight gain.

Exercise and diet

In a study, diet and exercise trumped the effects of diet or exercise alone (6). Patients with osteoarthritis of the knee who lost at least 10 percent of their body weight experienced significant improvements in function and a 50 percent reduction in pain, as well as reduction in inflammation, compared to those who lost 5 to 10 percent and those who lost less than 5 percent.

This study was a well-designed, randomized controlled single-blinded study with a duration of 18 months.

Researchers used a biomarker — IL6 — to measure inflammation. The diet and exercise group and the diet-only group lost significantly more weight than the exercise-only group, 23.3 and 19.6 pounds versus 4 pounds. The diet portion consisted of a meal replacement shake for breakfast and lunch and then a vegetable-rich, low-fat dinner. Lowcalorie meals replaced the shakes after six months. The exercise regimen included one hour of a combination of weight training and walking with alacrity three times per week.

Therefore, concentrate on lifestyle modifications if you want to see potentially disease-modifying effects. These include both exercise and diet. In terms of low-fat or nonfat milk, while the study had numerous flaws, if you drink milk, you might continue for the sake of osteoarthritis, but stay on the low end of consumption. And remember, the best potential effects shown are with weight loss and with a vegetablerich diet.

THE GARDENER’S DELIGHT

A young tree hydrangea, after late-winter pruning, collects some April snow.

Photo by Kyrnan Harvey

It’s time to get back to work in the garden

BY KYRNAN HARVEY Naturalized snowdrops (deerproof) have been a delightful sight for weeks, and my favorite crocus (not deerproof), the rampant self-seeding Crocus tommasinianus, has been braving the snows for a long time already.

But, really, signs of spring have been scant.

The beginning of the baseball season always corresponds neatly with the beginning of the gardening season. I am seeing forsythiayellow here and there, albeit only in sunny, sheltered locations, and I just got a text that the first Little League practice is Wednesday.

So I think it is fair to assume that baseball season is under way, which means there’s an awful lot of gardening work to do.

The snow has melted away and the ground is not frozen, but the low standard for “a nice day” through this past March has been 40 degrees but at least with sun and no wind. Thanks for nothing. Only last week did we begin to see the landscape trucks and trailers lumbering around, but we had started a week earlier with cutback of perennials, especially the many grasses we grow.

I do prefer to leave nature’s mulch, the leaves, un-removed through winter. But there are places were they do accumulate too much and, wet and matted, they will smother to death germinated seedlings of desirable perennials. So we do remove leaves occasionally.

But the best thing a gardener could do, where feasible, is to spread a thin layer of compost over the leaf litter. Any organic mulch will do, bagged or delivered by the yard. You get the tidy, uniform look of freshly mulched beds — but without disturbing the soil ecology provided by nature’s mulch.

If you have a garden of many naturalized perennials, like I do, then mulching in April is not recommended. Biennials like forgetme-not, foxglove, black-eyed Susans, sweet rocket (Hesperis) and love-in-a-mist will have germinated the previous summer, and thus have attained enough stature to push through light leaf litter. But naturalizing perennials like columbines, hellebores and

coneflowers will be smothered equally by heavy, wet accumulations of leafage — and by landscapers’ mulch.

The easiest way to a romantically wild, not overly manicured, garden is to let desirable perennials self-seed. Let your Echinacea and Salvia and Verbena bonariensis go to seed, and then be sure not to crush and smother them in the spring and you will have that cottage garden you admire in books.

There is a lot of late-winter/early-spring pruning of woody shrubs and subshrubs to do. It confuses novice gardeners but it needn’t. Spring-flowering shrubs (lilacs, viburnums, Spiraea thunbergii and Spiraea × vanhouttei, brooms, Japanese quince, forsythia) bloom on last year’s growth and should be pruned, if necessary, after flowering. Any and all summer-flowering plants get pruned hard, now, before new growth starts. Buddleia, Caryopteris, peegee hydrangeas (H. paniculata ‘Grandiflora’), Spiraea japonica varieties, rose of Sharon and, last but not least, roses. These flower on the current season’s wood and must be pruned in March or April to avoid legginess.

There are some woodys that are grown for the color of their leaves or stems. Willows, like the blue arctic willow (Salix purpurea) and Salix integra ‘Hakuro Nishiki’ (ubiquitous in garden centers in the last few years) and shrubby red-stem or yellow-stem dogwoods get cut hard at the end of winter.

The marginally hardy Mediterranean subshrubs (rosemary, lavender, culinary sage, Santolina) did take a beating this winter — remember the two or three near-zero nights in December? — but wait a week or two before cutting down to live wood.

In the meantime, if your perennial cutback is complete and end-of-winter pruning too, there are plenty of cool-season weeds to pull, like the hairy bittercress, henbit, chickweed, shepherd’s purse and dandelion. Get ‘em before they go to seed.

The flying meatloaf of Avalon

BY JOHN TURNER

easily probe in the ground and, acting like forceps, pull worms out of the ground.

Evolution has been at work here too, with natural selection, acting over eons of time responding to its feeding strategy, which involves spending much time facing downward with a bill thrust into the soil. How so you might ask? By moving its eye position from the front of its face toward the top and back of its head, and by so doing allowing the bird to have a complete 360-degree field of view of its surroundings (in contrast humans have an approximate 210-degree field of view) including, remarkably, a 20-degree binocular-vision field of view behind its head — a good thing since this is where a woodcock is most vulnerable to attack from a predatory fox or hawk.

This movement in eye position has caused other anatomical changes.

If, in the next couple of weeks, you visit the fields of the wonderful Avalon Preserve off of Shep Jones Lane in Stony Brook at sunset and cup your ears, you might hear twittering and squeaking in the sky and moments later a more emphatic “peenting” call coming from a patch of ground in front of you.

Cast your eyes skyward into the evening gloaming and you might catch a chunkyshaped bird zooming up from the ground rapidly and circling several times — “sky dancing” as the great conservationist Aldo Leopold once described it — before plunging earthward, typically close to an interested female. His up-and-down spiral flights at twilight are all part of a display he employs in the hope of attracting a mate.

What is the source of this crepuscular magic? It’s the annual spring mating flight Ph o to b y L u ke Orm of the American woodcock, a bird that an d one birder has described as a “flying meatloaf,” due to its chunky nature and rich brown coloration. The woodcock has other names too, some rich in folklore, including the timberdoodle, Labrador twister, bogborer, bogsucker, night peck, whistling snipe, mud bat and night partridge.

And two names shrouded in mystery — the hookum pake and Cachecache rouge.

COVER STORY

Music and art come together in perfect harmony at new Mount exhibit at The LIM

BY HEIDI SUTTON

N

ow through Sept. 3, The Long Island Museum in Stony Brook presents a delightful treat: a special exhibit titled Perfect Harmony: The Musical Life and Art of William Sidney Mount.

William Sidney Mount (1807-1868) was a renowned artist best known for his genre paintings, although he also painted landscapes and portraits. Born in Setauket, Mount lived in Stony Brook and painted many local scenes. A man of many talents, Mount was also a musician (he played the fiddle and fife), composer and inventor, designing a hollow-back violin that he named the Cradle of Harmony.

So many of Mount’s paintings incorporate music into the scene, whether it is dancing or playing a musical instrument so it was only natural to “connect his two major passions in life,” according to the exhibit’s curator, Joshua Ruff, director of collections and interpretations and chief curator at The LIM. Currently on view in the Victoria V. Costigan Gallery in the Art Museum on the hill, the fascinating exhibit links Mount’s music and art with more than 20 oil paintings, pencil drawings, musical instruments, original compositions and more.

Of course, it is the incredible oil paintings, drawn from the museum’s unsurpassed collection, that take center stage.

“Catching the Tune,” “Dancing on the Barn Floor,” “Just in Tune” and the famous “Dance of the Haymakers,” among others, are displayed in all their glory.

The portraits, some of which are over 160 years old, are as colorful and vibrant as ever. “Both William and his brother, Shepard Alonzo Mount, were really great at painting eyes and giving one the feeling like they are sitting in a room across from you,” commented Ruff, who has a fondness for “The Banjo Player.”

Situated toward the center of the room is a unique music stand that Mount illustrated with sheet music of early American folk tunes including “Dearest Ellen” and a patriotic Fourth of July song. “These musical pieces were popular in the 19th century,” explained Ruff during a recent tour.

The stand was designed to accommodate four musicians at a time and Ruff said that Mount most likely used it. “I would be surprised if he didn’t,” said the curator.

Also on display are some of Mount’s compositions including “In the Cars on the Long Island Railroad” and “The Musings of an Old Bachelor,” as well as musical instruments —

A piano owned by Mount’s uncle Micah Hawkins sits in the corner. A General Store owner at Catherine’s Market in lower Manhattan, Hawkins composed music and to some extent was an influence to Mount “but his whole family was passionate about music,” said Ruff.

Along with Mount’s personal violin and initialed case, three prototypes of Mount’s Cradle of Harmony are also on view. “It’s nice that we were able to have all three examples of the violin that he designed and we have the 1852 patent design drawing for the first one,” the curator said.

In the background, a video plays several of Mount’s compositions, initially recorded by violinist Gilbert Ross for the Smithsonian in 1976 on its own Cradle of Harmony, tying the exhibit together perfectly.

Mount tribute concert

On Saturday, April 14, The LIM will host a concert by the Manhattan-based Red Skies Music Ensemble at 2 p.m. The group will bring Mount’s music and art to life through visual imagery and theatrical interpretation of songs from the artist’s own collection.

One of the musicians will play Mount’s Cradle of

Until you have all [these items] gathered in a gallery you don’t necessarily appreciate just how much he was setting a violin down and picking up a paintbrush,” reflected Ruff. “Where one started and one finished is not always clear ... nor should it be. It was just this continuing, constant influence and important part of his life.”

Gallery North, 90 North Country Road, Setauket will present its 14th annual Gallery North Joseph Reboli Wet Paint Festival on April 6, 7 and 8.

As a tribute to Reboli and a celebration of plein air painting, artists will paint the local areas that were so loved by the artist. This year, observers will be able to watch 20 artists paint at the historic train stations in St. James and Stony Brook.

According to Judith Levy, executive director at Gallery North, “the biggest painting day is Saturday” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Also on April 7, join Barbara Russell, Brookhaven Town historian, at the Stony Brook station at 11 a.m., and Bradley Harris, Smithtown historian, at the St. James station at 2 p.m., as they present a free lecture on the history of both train stations.

The St. James station is a historic station on the Port Jefferson branch of the Long Island Rail Road. Located on Lake and Railroad avenues it was built in 1873 by Calvin L’Hommedieu. According to information provided by the LIRR, it remains the second oldest existing station house of the railroad.

The Stony Brook station, another historic station on the Port Jefferson branch of the LIRR, is located on the southeast side of Route 25A. Across from the intersection of Route 25A and Cedar Street, on the opposite side of the tracks, is the State University of New York at Stony Brook where the train station was built in 1873 by the Smithtown and Port Jefferson Railroad. (Some sources claim it was built in 1888 and rebuilt in 1927.)

Despite the impact of the arrival of Stony Brook University in 1957, the depot has remained a small onestory building.

Works created by the artists during the festival will be on view at Gallery North beginning Thursday, April 12 thru Saturday, April 21.

An opening reception is scheduled for Thursday, April 12 at 5 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

Mushroom and Brie Crostini

The magic of mushrooms

BY BARBARA BELTRAMI Some years ago, my husband bought a book on mycology and decided that we were going to pick our own wild mushrooms in the woods. My mind fast forwarded to our virtual obituaries stating that the cause of death had been eating poisonous toadstools (sauteed in butter, white wine and shallots, of course).

Preferring the fairy tale image of mushrooms in an enchanted forest populated by cute little gnomes and rejecting the legacy of my prehistoric female predecessors and early ancestral gatherers, I vehemently nixed the idea. Instead I frequented the produce aisles of high-end supermarkets to seek out wild mushrooms harvested by responsible and knowledgeable organic farmers.

Eventually, the book and the idea were shelved, but not before we had eaten many varieties of mushrooms prepared in an even bigger variety of ways. While button and Portobello are the most commonly available, shitake, cremini, oyster, morel, enoki and others are the most tasty, delicate (and expensive!) but well worth their price.

TOMORROW IS FRIDAY – WEAR RED ON CAMPUS!

STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

Stony Brook remains undefeated No. 1 Stony Brook women’s lacrosse won its ninth-straight contest to remain unbeaten on Friday night at LaValle Stadium, defeating University of Vermont 20-2.

Kylie Ohlmiller led the way with eight points on four goals and four assists, becoming just the second player in NCAA Division I history to reach 400 career points. She was named America East Offensive Player of the Week for her efforts. Hauppauge’s Keri McCarthy, named the conference’s Defensive Player of the Week, recorded 16 draw controls, a new single-game program record.

“I’m really proud of our performance tonight, this group was extremely focused all week,” head coach Joe Spallina said.

“It’s a sign of maturity, the way we came out and dominated.”

Courtney Murphy added four goals and two assists and Ally Kennedy tied her season high with four goals. Taryn Ohlmiller chipped in with two goals and a helper for three points of her own.

Brooke Gubitosi, of East Northport, tallied a team-best five ground balls, forcing two turnovers in the win, and also scored her first career goal with 20:30 left in the second half.

Siobhan Rafferty, Emma Schait, Courtney Troyan and Mount Sinai’s Rayna Sabella each added a goal. Samantha DiSalvo, Rebecca Kinsley and Bridget Considine all recorded assists.

Anna Tesoriero, of Huntington, and Jessica Goralski combined for four saves.

“The best days are ahead for this group,” Spallina said. “It was great for the second-straight contest to play our entire team, and for some younger players to get

The Stony Brook women’s tennis team topped New York Institute of Technology 6-1 in the Seawolves’ home opener March 31.

“We did a good job of managing our mistakes today,” head coach Gary Glassman said. “I also thought that overall we handled the elements quite well for our first outdoor match.”

The Seawolves started off strong by winning the doubles point and were able to keep their momentum into singles play.

Elizabeth Tsvetkov and Anne-Kathrin Kierl won their doubles match 6-4 and Nolwenn Cardoso and Amanda Foo swept their opponents 6-0 as Stony Brook took two of the three doubles wins.

Tsvetkov also won her singles match 6-2, 6-3; as did Cardoso, 6-3, 6-1; and Foo, 6-0,6-0.

Despite dropping their doubles match 6-2, Maria Pinto Ribeiro and Ana Rodriguez brought home singles victories 4-6, 6-1 and 10-7, and 6-0, 6-0, respectively.

Seawolves claim series win with doubleheader split Junior left fielder Dylan Resk’s tworun, two-out double down the left field line in the bottom of the eighth inning gave Stony Brook’s baseball team the lead in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader that led to a 9-8 victory and series win against University of Massachusetts Lowell.

“This was an incredibly hard-fought series,” head coach Matt Senk said. “I have to give a ton of credit to UMass Lowell. We just kept trading punches and I couldn’t be more proud of our guys to be able to come out and win this dogfight of a series.”

The Seawolves (15-10 overall, 4-2 America East) dropped game one of the double-header 6-5 March 31.

Senior left-handed pitcher Cole Creighton earned the victory in game 3 of the series with two hitless innings of work in relief.

Sophomore shortstop Nick Grande, of Smithtown, collected a total of four hits in the two games on Saturday with two hits in each game. He extended his multihit game streak to seven, and is now hitting a team-high .388 for the season.

Tucillo’s home run, a three-run blast, was the first home run of his career.

Heckscher Museum announces winners of Long Island’s Best student art exhibit The Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington recently announced the top awards for Long Island’s Best: Young Artists at The Heckscher Museum. The prestigious competition received 385 entries from a record-breaking 62 high schools across Suffolk and Nassau counties. The juried selection narrowed the field down to 80 works currently featured in the museum gallery through April 15.

“Every year, the caliber of artwork is more impressive and the artists’ statements increasingly more creative and thoughtful. It is a challenge to choose the best of the best from hundreds of entries,” noted Joy Weiner, director of education.

The competition’s four top honorees were Paulina Trzonkowska, a senior at West Babylon High School who received the Celebrate Achievement Best in Show Award for her colored pencil work titled “Too Close”; Isabelle Lin, a junior at Manhasset High School, who received Second Place, the Judith Sposato Memorial Prize, for her painting, “Two Flags”; Estefanie Arrue, a senior at Hicksville High School, received Third Place, the Hadley Prize, for “Female Reconstruction,” a mixed media work; and Rico Ford, a senior at Valley Stream Central High School, received Fourth Place for the colored pencil work “Pair of Kings.”

Now in its 22nd year, Long Island’s Best provides students the opportunity to exhibit their artwork in a prominent museum and to be featured in a full-color catalog while museum visitors are treated to exceptional artwork by talented emerging artists.

Jurors for the exhibition were Lisa Chalif, curator, The Heckscher Museum of Art, and
