SHARING THE BEST IDEAS IN MEDICINE

What You Need to Know About Stroke Dr. Michael Guido specializes in the assessment and management of acute stroke patients using diagnostic and physiological monitoring. He works with a multidisciplinary team to manage and prevent common early and late stroke complications and care for stroke patients. Dr. David Fiorella is an expert in minimally invasive treatment of brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid stenosis and acute stroke.

What is stroke?

Dr. Guido: There are two kinds of strokes: ischemic, in which a blockage prevents blood flow to the brain, and hemorrhagic, in which there is bleeding in or around the brain. Ischemic strokes are the most common, occurring in about 80 percent of cases in Suffolk County.

You may have also heard of the term TIA (transient ischemic attack), which is also known as a “mini stroke.” TIAs are caused by a temporary clot, which usually resolves within minutes to hours. They are often a precursor to a major stroke, so it’s important to take them seriously and see a doctor if you suspect you have had one.

Why is stroke awareness so important?

Dr. Fiorella: Stroke can affect people of all ages and backgrounds. It is a leading cause of disability and is now the fifth-leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States — behind heart disease, chronic lung disease, cancer and unintentional injuries.

This is the second time since 2011 that stroke has dropped a spot in the mortality rankings.

The decline in stroke deaths may be due in part to increased awareness of the signs and improvements in treatment. Speed of treatment is crucial and people are seeking treatment faster.

What are the signs of stroke?

Dr. Guido: Signs of stroke include an uneven smile or facial droop, arm or leg numbness or weakness — especially on one side of the body, and slurred speech or difficulty speaking. Other warning signs include sudden confusion, sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes, sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, and a sudden severe headache with no known cause, often described as the worst headache of your life.

If you suspect you’re having a stroke, what should you do?

Dr. Fiorella: Get immediate help. Call 911. Alert the operator that you are having symptoms of a stroke. Since speed of treatment is crucial, getting to the right place fast is key. Ask to be taken to a stroke center where advanced treatments are available. Our experienced, highly trained medical team at Stony Brook Cerebrovascular and Stroke Center performs all the latest procedures, 24/7.

Our expertise includes every FDA-approved, minimally invasive stroke intervention technique. We also use the latest diagnostic tools and offer access to major ongoing clinical trials. Our center is certified by The Joint Commission and designated by the New York State Department of Health as a stroke center, meeting all the criteria and more. And Stony Brook provides advanced endovascular treatments to retrieve clots in the brain that are unable to be dissolved by medication alone.

You’ve survived a stroke. Now what?

Dr. Guido: For the thousands of Long Islanders who do survive a stroke, it’s a struggle to recover from its debilitating impact. Stony Brook’s Stroke Support Group can help. You’ll receive encouragement and feedback from others who can relate to your situation; gain more knowledge from expert speakers; and learn about many programs and resources that can help.

While we hope that you or someone you love never have to experience a stroke, it’s important to know that Suffolk County’s only academic medical center is leading the way in stroke care for thousands of patients in our community and across the country.

FEATURE STORY

I-Spy with my little eye ... a dragoon coat!

TVHS to host ‘TURN’ Auction fundraiser

BY MICHAEL TESSLER The Three Villages is home to a remarkable Revolutionary history that for over a century remained elusive to the American people ... all except in Setauket where local lore and legend preserved a tale of spies, lies, petticoats and the exceptional bravery of everyday citizens who risked everything to liberate their homes and loved ones from tyranny.

General George Washington established the Culper Spy Ring in 1778 by recruiting Benjamin Tallmadge, a would-be lieutenant colonel and future congressman who called the quaint village of Setauket home. He recruited friends and schoolmates to establish a secret network, eluding the mighty British Empire that had been occupying Long Island since August 1776. Their efforts turned the tides of war in favor of the Continental Army and forever altered the course of history.

It wasn’t until 1939, when amateur historian Morton Pennypacker began to decipher secret aliases and uncover the true identities of the Culper spies. In 2014, the legend of the Culper Spy Ring finally entered the public zeitgeist with the premiere of AMC’s television drama series “TURN: Washington’s Spies,” a historical fiction piece that chronicled the Culper Spy Ring.

“If it weren’t for Setauket, we would have lost the war,” declared Three Village Historical Society President Steve Healy. “If Washington had been caught, he would have been

hanged. They stopped that, they saved the [American] Revolution.” And just as the Culper spies saved the fledgling United States, the Three Village Historical Society has made it its mission to keep the Culper Spy Ring and the local history of this community alive.

When “TURN” ended last August, the Three Village Historical Society reached out to the show and received a very special donation: props, costumes and other memorabilia actually featured on the show during the series’ four-season run. On Saturday, May 19, the public will have the opportunity to own these pieces of history during a silent auction fundraiser on the society’s front lawn starting at noon. Bidding closes at 4:15 p.m.

According to TVHS board members Cathy White and Janet McCauley, the most sought after item of the day will be a dragoon (18th century cavalry) coat worn by the actor who played Benjamin Tallmadge, Seth Numrich. “It’ll be fun to see where it ends up,” said McCauley. “Either way, it is a wonderful tool to educate our community about the area that they live in.”

Other items in the auction include a reproduction of a 1730 Dublin Castle Long Land (1st Model) Brown Bess musket; autographed sheet music; a portrait of King George II, c. 1730, reproduction on canvas; as well as maps, letters and artifacts such as an astrolab, horn bowls, British army drumsticks, pewter pitchers, posters, an uncut sheet of Continental currency and more.

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.

Preventing dementia

NEWS AROUND TOWN

Managing biological age through diet can reduce risk

Dementia may be diagnosed when someone experiences loss of memory plus loss of another faculty, such as executive functioning (decision-making) or language abilities (speaking, writing or reading).

The latter is known as aphasia. Alzheimer’s disease is responsible for approximately 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases (1).

Unfortunately, there are no definitive studies that show reversal or a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. This is why prevention is central to Alzheimer’s — and dementia in general.

In terms of dementia, there is good news and some disappointing

By David news.

Dunaief, M.D. We will start with the good news. Though chronological age is a risk factor that cannot be changed, biological age may be adjustable. There are studies that suggest we may be able to prevent dementia through the use of both lifestyle modifications and medications.

Telomeres’ length and biological age Biological age may be different from chronological age, depending on a host of environmental factors that include diet, exercise and smoking. There are substances called telomeres that are found at the ends of our chromosomes. They provide stability to this genetic material. As our telomeres get shorter and shorter, our cellular aging and, ultimately, biological aging, increases.

In a preliminary case-control study, dementia patients were shown to have significantly shorter telomere length than healthy patients (2). Interestingly, according to the authors, men have shorter telomere length and may be biologically older by four years than women of the same chronological age. The researchers caution that this is a preliminary finding and may not have clinical implications.

What I find most intriguing is that intensive lifestyle modifications increased telomere length in a small three-month study with patients who had low-risk prostate cancer (3). By adjusting their lifestyles, study participants were potentially able to decrease their biological ages.

Diet’s effect Lifestyle modifications play a role in many chronic diseases and disorders. Dementia is no exception. In a prospective observational study, involving 3,790 participants, those who had the greatest compliance with a Mediterranean-type diet demonstrated a significant reduction in the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, compared to the least compliant (4). Participants were over the age of 65, demographics included substantial numbers of both black and white participants, and there was a mean follow-up of 7.6 years. Impressively, those who adhered more strictly to the diet performed cognitively as if they were three years younger, according to the authors.

respectively, when used in combination with other blood pressure medications.

Interestingly, when ARBs were used alone, there was still a 47 percent reduction in risk; however, ACE inhibitors lost their prevention advantage. High blood pressure is a likely risk factor for dementia and can also be treated with lifestyle modifications (7). Otherwise, ARBs or ACE inhibitors may be the best choices for reducing dementia risk.

Ginkgo biloba disappoints Lifestyle modifications play a role in reducing the risk of developing dementia.

Beta-carotene and vitamin C effect In a small, preliminary case-control study (disease vs. healthy patients), higher blood levels of vitamin C and beta-carotene significantly reduced the risk of dementia, by 71 and 87 percent, respectively (5). The blood levels were dramatically different in those with the highest and lowest blood levels of vitamin C (74.4 vs. 28.9 µmol/L) and betacarotene (0.8 vs. 0.2 µmol/L).

The reason for this effect may be that these nutrients help reduce oxidative stress and thus have neuroprotective effects, preventing the breakdown of neurons. This study was done in the elderly, average 78.9 years old, which is a plus, since as we age we’re more likely to be afflicted by dementia.

It is critically important to delineate the sources of vitamin C and beta-carotene in this study. These numbers came from food, not supplements. Why is this important?

First, beta-carotene is part of a family of nutrients called carotenoids. There are at least 600 carotenoids in food, all of which may have benefits that are not achieved when taking beta-carotene supplements.

Second of all, beta-carotene in supplement form may increase the risk of small-cell lung cancer in smokers (6).

Foods that contain beta-carotene include fruits and vegetables such as berries; green leafy vegetables; and orange, red or yellow vegetables like peppers, carrots and sweet potato. It may surprise you, but fish also contains carotenoids. In my practice, I test for beta-carotene and vitamin C as a way to measure nutrient levels and track patients’ progress when they are eating a nutrient-dense diet. Interestingly, many patients achieve more than three times higher than the highest beta-carotene blood levels seen in this small study.

Impact of high blood pressure medications For those patients who have high blood pressure, it is important to know that not all blood pressure medications are created equal. When comparing blood pressure medications in an observational study, two classes of these medications stood out. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (known as ARBs) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (known as ACE inhibitors) reduce the risk of dementia by 53 and 24 percent

Ginkgo biloba, a common herbal supplement taken to help prevent dementia, may have no benefit. In the GuidAge study, ginkgo biloba was shown to be no more effective than placebo in preventing patients from progressing to Alzheimer’s disease (8). This randomized controlled trial, considered the gold standard of study designs, was done in elderly patients over a five-year period with almost 3,000 participants. There was no difference seen between the treatment and placebo groups.

This reinforces the results of an earlier study, Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory trial (9). Longer studies may be warranted. The authors stressed the importance of preventive measures with dementia.

Fish oil: not the last word Many of us take fish oil supplements in the hope of preventing dementia. However, in a meta-analysis (a group of three randomized controlled trials), the results did not show a difference between treatment groups and placebo in older patients taking fish oil with omega-3 fatty acids (10). The authors stress that this is not the final word since studies have been mixed.

The longest of the three studies was 40 months, yet may not have been long enough to see a beneficial effect. Also participants in the meta-analysis did not necessarily have low omega-3 levels at the beginning of the studies. This doesn’t necessarily mean fish oil doesn’t work for dementia prevention, it is just discouraging, as the authors emphasize. Fish consumption, however, has shown an inverse association with Alzheimer’s and dementia overall (11).

There may be ways to prevent dementia from occurring, whether through lifestyle modifications or through the selection of medications, if they are necessary.

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

SBU’s Romeil Sandhu earns Air Force, NSF awards

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 TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Romeil Sandhu has had a busy year.

Last fall, the U.S. Air Force awarded him a $450,000 three-year grant, called the Young Investigator Research Program. At the beginning of this year, Sandhu won a $500,000 National Science Foundation Career Award.

The assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Stony Brook University is working in several directions on basic research that could help with everything from network security to autonomous cars.

The awards are a “tremendous accomplishment,” Allen Tannenbaum, a distinguished professor of computer science and applied mathematics/statistics at SBU, explained in an email. Sandhu won the career award on his “first try, which is very unusual. The Air Force award is a very high honor for a young researcher.”

Tannenbaum was Sandhu’s doctoral thesis adviser at Georgia Tech. Tannenbaum recruited Sandhu to join Stony Brook University and described Sandhu’s work as going in a “very promising direction.”

‘Whether it is targeted therapy and cancer research, social computing and/or interactive computing, we are just beginning to understand very complex issues.’

— Romeil Sandhu

The Air Force funding is a new direction in which Sandhu is developing a theory around how to incorporate user input in three-dimensional autonomous systems that rely on two-dimensional imaging information.

An example of this, Sandhu explained, is where a soldier might make judgments maneuvering a vehicle around potentially deadly situations. His work involves translating threedimensional interactive feedback controls based on twodimensional imaging systems.

“When you take a video of a car, it’s in two dimensions,” he explained. The computer link between the collected images and the reality relies on geometric properties.

With most autonomous computer systems, a human is involved in the process, to prepare for what is called the “unknown unknown.” That is a term used to describe situations in which there is no way to predict all possible events.

Through his Air Force work, Sandhu ideally would like to seek greater autonomy for some of these self-directed systems.

Removing human input entirely, however, generates a risk that may be too great. That is the case in cancer treatment as well as the systems used to protect soldiers. The work he is doing with the Air Force explores how to fuse human and computerassisted decision making.

The NSF award, meanwhile, will use the confluence of geometry and control to explore vulnerability in time-varying networks. Sandhu is tackling problems in social systems, communication systems and cancer biology and biomedical informatics.

“We can devise this idea of a network, which is the same way with cancer and proteins,” he said. One protein sends a signal to another, causing a cascade of reactions that often promote cancer.

Sandhu is interested in how microfluctuations can pave the way to larger disruptions. In the social setting, such information may infect individuals or groups and such dynamics may allow it to influence macroscopic audiences.

“The prevailing idea is that there exist several changes that pave the way to a larger catastrophic failure,” he explained in an email.

The grant is designed to exploit everything that can be modeled as a part of a network, to understand their vulnerability. Viral information and trending stories, Sandhu said, might have one dynamic, while conspiracy theories might have another. He would like to see how such information gains traction and spreads.

Relationships are at the forefront of your mind, Taurus. You may have specific criteria you use to assess potential friends or romantic interests, but it could pay to widen your scope.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, your charm might be on overdrive, but you are looking for more than just trivial companionship. Explore activities that will match you with those with the same interests.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

Co-workers are expecting much from you, Cancer. Although you want to promise them everything, you have doubts you can deliver. See what you can handle and farm out the rest.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Romeil Sandhu with his dog June The way people interact occurs through multiple networks.

Sandhu is studying how models can exploit real-world behavior.

Geometry, he suggests, can begin to assist on more complex modeling problems that are time varying and multilayered.

When he describes how he studies systems such as cancer, he likens the process to a waterbed. A drug or therapy may knock out a specific gene, which could limit cancer’s growth.

When that gene changes, however, it creates a wave along the bed, enabling another potential genetic process to occur. While it has a more precise definition in control, it is akin to sitting on a waterbed in suppressing one sequence only to give rise to another.

Sandhu, who arrived at Stony Brook University in 2016, grew up in Huntsville, Alabama, and then spent over a decade going to school in Georgia, where he earned his doctorate at Georgia Tech.

In some ways, Sandhu’s Huntsville background, which includes lettering in high school soccer for four years as a center midfielder, is similar to one of the challenges in perception he studies through his work.

“Think of me as one person in a network,” he said. “In a lot of the research we look at, we want to know how microfluctuations such as myself give way to a larger perception.”

Sandhu explained that the general perception of Huntsville

and Alabama is different from his experience.

Most people are surprised that Huntsville has the second largest research park in the nation, at Cummings Research Park. Huntsville also has numerous aerospace companies.

The city generally ranks highly as one of the more educated in the country, he said.

This is due in large part to the tech community that supports the government. The town is largely influenced by NASA and the surrounding military aerospace community, which Sandhu believes impacted his worldview, career path and research initiatives.

Indeed, one of the goals Sandhu has for his NSF grant is to help educate the high school students of people serving in the military. He said he appreciated the military families who were such an integral part of his upbringing.

Sandhu has two doctoral students and two master’s students in his lab. He also plans to participate in the Simons Summer Research Program at SBU where he will add a high school student. He is excited about the next phase of his research.

“The best part is the challenges that lie ahead,” he explained in an email. “Whether it is targeted therapy and cancer research, social computing and/or interactive computing, we are just beginning to understand very complex issues. Our hope is that we can make a contribution.”

You have plenty of options in your love life, Leo. Take a step back and carefully assess where you want existing relationships to go. Such a breather will only benefit you

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

It takes more than just a positive attitude to be successful this week. Virgo — although positivity is a good start. Set goals and aim for doing your fair share of hard work.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, your intuition lets you know when to keep quiet and when to make a stir.

Let events unfold around you this week, keeping your thoughts close to the vest.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, in the midst of difficult times, you may find that opportunities abound.

Do not let any moment pass you by; embrace the situations and opportunities coming your way.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

An invitation to a special event may be on the horizon, Sagittarius. Be patient and prepare for some excitement. Invite others to join in the festivities.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, you may be on the cusp of revealing your plans to others. But a change of heart might be coming, so wait a little bit longer until you’re certain.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

You might not be in the mood for small talk this week, Aquarius. But avoid being rude as you try to speak about serious matters. Allow others to express themselves.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

There seems to be no limit to your career possibilities, Pisces. Rather than staying put in your current position, branch out.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

You will have plenty of time to devote to your favorite projects, Aries. But right now you need to spend some time with close friends and family.

A wisteria or lilac for mom

BY KYRNAN HARVEY

Wisterias and lilacs are reliably in flower around the second Sunday in May on Long Island and, being 100 percent deerproof, make wonderful gifts for a mom who loves her garden.

They are long-lived and durable, which is certainly an understatement regarding wisteria. When I bought my house in East Setauket there was 20 or 30 years of unchecked growth between my house and a neighbor’s that was serving as a de facto privacy barrier: Oriental bittersweet, English ivy, Russian olive and natives poison ivy and greenbrier that were choking to near death a pair of American dogwoods and a few native spicebushes (Lindera benzoin). There was wisteria too, clambering all over the dead limbs of a fallen spruce.

My neighbor bemoaned the invasiveness of the wisteria, which was running along the ground, rooting in and climbing her Chinese dogwoods, an old beautybush (Kolkwitzia) and her giant old weeping cherry tree. I agreed that it is awfully invasive but that I would not remove it, valuing as I do the beauty and delightful scent of its flowers. I cut any vines that were not supported by the dead fallen spruce and initiated a war on the other nonnative invasives, preserving the dogwoods and clearing the way for my wife’s cut-flower/ kitchen garden, and, yes, diminishing the privacy between our houses.

Yes, wisteria is horribly invasive, but sometimes it is worth leaving to climb into weed trees or over a chain-link fence, in which case you will want to be vigilant with the secateurs and folding pruning saw. If you have a pergola, the posts and beams of which are tall enough and strong enough, and you want a vine to grow over it, then wisteria is certainly at the top of the list of options. Consider well though the commitment of maintenance, which is to climb a ladder and cut-cut-cut the

endless yards of rampant new growth all summer after flowering in May. I have been planting wisterias since I started gardening 30 years ago. One of the first mistakes I made was buying a young (two- or three-year-old), unnamed, Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis). I trained it to grow as a standard (tree form), but it was years before it flowered and, when it did, the flowers appeared simultaneously with the leaves, which partially obscured the flowers.

After 15 years of cut-cut-cut atop a stepladder summer after summer, I asked Joe, my assistant, to cut it down. I couldn’t do it myself but I was ready with a superior replacement: a grafted tree form, Wisteria floribunda, ‘Shiro-noda’ (Snow Showers), in a 15-gallon container. For the next 10 years this was an absolute highlight of the gardening year, the very long fragrant white racemes appearing before the “tree” leafed out and with forget-me-nots and tulips below and a tree peony nearby.

If you want to buy a wisteria, seek a named cultivar of the Chinese (W. sinensis) or Japanese (W. floribunda) variety.

Unless you want to grow it up a pergola, see if you can find one trained on a single trunk. It will always need support, as the physiology of the trunk is that of a vine, needing support to climb, and not that of a self-supporting tree. Grow it as a tree and curtail its growth. If you plant a grafted wisteria, you won’t have to wait years for it to start flowering. And I very much prefer varieties that flower before leafing out.

If wisteria sounds like too much of an undertaking and commitment, there is the option of a lilac (Syringa) for mother.

These are nearly carefree, of equally delightful scent and the topic of my next gardening column.

COOKING COVE

Tapping into tapas

• 2 garlic cloves, minced • Salt and freshly ground pepper • ¼ cup olive oil • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter • 6 slices crusty bread DIRECTIONS: In a small bowl beat the eggs and water; add garlic, salt and pepper and beat again.

Transfer egg mixture to a large shallow baking dish, add bread slices; soak for 30 seconds, then turn and let sit until all the egg mixture has been absorbed. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet until hot. Fry bread, turning when bottom is golden., about 1 minute. When other side is golden, remove immediately or garlic will burn. Serve hot or warm with a red or white sangria.

BY BARBARA BELTRAMI

Call them what you will … hors d’oeuvres, appetizers or tapas. In Spain and Portugal, tapas abound in many bars, and at least one legend has it that long ago an innkeeper put a slice of cured ham on top of a glass of wine to keep the flies away, as a makeshift lid. To cover in Spanish is “tapar,” so a lid is a “tapa” — hence the name.

Depending on how many or how few you pop or scoop into your mouth as you’re sipping your wine or beer, they will either whet or whip your desire to proceed to the main attraction, the meal that is sometimes meant to follow. In fact, in Spain and Portugal, it is part of the culture to stop by a bar to sit and relax and share a few little plates of tapas, often twice a day. While they can be anything as simple as a well-cured olive on a toothpick, they can also be as complex as an artichoke stew or empanada.

Eaten as a snack, a first course or a prelude to a meal, tapas are rapidly becoming standard fare in American cuisine as well.

So think of anything savory, serve it in small portions and you’ve got tapas. And doesn’t that sound so much better than munchies, finger food or snacks?

SBU SPORTSWEEK MAY 3 – MAY 9, 2018

TOMORROW IS FRIDAY – WEAR RED ON CAMPUS!

STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

SBU

No. 1 Seawolves lax finishes its first undefeated season No. 1 Stony Brook women’s lacrosse finished off its unbeaten 2018 regular season Saturday at John Fallon Field, cruising past University at Albany, 21-8.

With the victory, the Seawolves (17-0, 7-0 AE) will be the No. 1 seed in the 2018 America East Championship, earning the right to host the postseason conference tournament at LaValle Stadium May 4 and 6.

Stony Brook’s win caps off a recordbreaking campaign, as the program becomes the first team in Seawolves’ history to post an unbeaten regular-season record and to achieve a No. 1 national ranking.

“It’s great for us to secure another regularseason conference title, but the biggest thing is securing home field advantage for the America East Tournament,” head coach Joe Spallina said. “I thought we played well — some patches of greatness and some patches of mediocrity.

We’ll continue to strive for consistency as we head into the postseason. Being 17-0 and finishing our regular season undefeated is incredible, but our real season starts on Friday.”

Kylie Ohlmiller had six goals and four assists to lead the way for Stony Brook. The senior finishes the 2018 regular season with 128 total points in 17 contests. She was named America East Offensive Player of the week for the seventh time this year.

Courtney Murphy tallied six goals and two assists to finish the season with a team-best 77 goals. Taryn Ohlmiller, Kylie’s younger sister, added three goals and four assists.

Ally Kennedy scored twice, and Port Jefferson Station’s Kasey Mitchell, Hauppauge’s Keri McCarthy, Samantha DiSalvo and

Stony Brook men’s lax shares piece of regular season title SBU

The Stony Brook men’s lacrosse team was named America East co-regular season champions Saturday afternoon, sharing the title with University at Albany following the Seawolves’ final regular season game.

This is the fifth America East regular season title for Stony Brook, which has earned the No. 2 seed in the championship tournament.

With the Great Danes winning the head-tohead tiebreak with the Seawolves, they have earned the top spot and will host the threegame tournament at Casey Family Stadium.

The Seawolves, which ended the regular season with a 15-9 win over Binghamton University April 27, will face No. 3 University of Vermont in the semifinals May 3 at 4:30 p.m. Sophomore Tom Haun earned America East Offensive Player of the Week honors after scoring a hat trick and adding two assists in the Friday win over the Bearcats.

Albany will take on University of Massachusetts Lowell in the night game. The winners advance to the championship game May 5 at noon. The first-rounders will air on ESPN+ and the title game will be on ESPNU.

Chris Pickel Jr. Stony Brook finished 5-1 in conference play for the third time in four years, earning its first regular season championship since 2012.

It took two extra periods to decide the regularseason meeting between the Seawolves and Catamounts, but sophomore Chris Pickel Jr. was the hero early in the second overtime to help Stony Brook pick up its first win over a ranked opponent this season, 8-7 April 14.

Kyle Ohlmiller, above, and Courtney Murphy, on left, had record-breaking seasons.

Siobhan Rafferty all added a goal in the win.

McCarthy led the way with six draw controls, DiSalvo recorded four draw wins and Kennedy tallied three.

Anna Tesoriero, of Huntington, made nine saves on 17 shots on goal, earning her 17th win of the season and finishing the 2018 regular season ranked No. 1 nationally in goals-against average.

The Seawolves opened on a 4-0 run, with Kennedy, DiSalvo, Murphy and Kylie Ohlmiller

each tallying a goal in the first four minutes.

The Seawolves assisted on 10 goals, and have now registered double-digit assist totals in 12 contests this year.

Stony Brook has won five straight America East championships under Spallina — looking to become the first program in America East conference history to win six straight postseason conference titles.

Stony Brook will host No. 4 University of New Hampshire at 4:30 p.m. May 4.

Five Seawolves get chance to play for NFL teams The NFL Draft has still eluded the Stony Brook football program, but following Sunday’s final day of the draft, former Seawolves Timon Parris and Chris Cooper signed Football Association contracts with NFL teams, and Tyrice Beverette, Ray Bolden and Stacey Bedell were each invited to an NFL Camp.

Parris, an All-American left tackle signed a contract to join the Washington Redskins, while Cooper, a defensive, signed a contract with the Indianapolis Colts.

Beverette was invited to the New York Jets camp, while Bolden will head down to Philadelphia for the Eagles camp, and Bedell travels west to take part in the San Francisco 49ers camp.

Parris started the first eight games of 2017 before he suffered a season-ending leg injury. The American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press and STATS FCS All-American helped Stony Brook average 29.2 points and 351.2 yards per game.

Cooper earned second team All-Colonial

Athletic Association honors in 2017 following a season that saw him collect 88 total tackles. For his three-year Stony Brook career, Cooper recorded 147 tackles and 12 tackles for loss.

Beverette, a two-time second-team All-CAA honoree, led the Seawolves with 96 total tackles in 2017 and collected 262 career stops including 27.5 tackles for loss.

Bolden, a two-time first-team All-CAA selection, pulled down 66 receptions for 780 yards and nine touchdowns in 2017 to lead the Seawolves’ receiving corps. The wide receiver completed his three seasons at Stony Brook with 171 catches for 2,081 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Bedell, a 2017 first-team All-CAA selection, gained 835 yards on 159 carries with eight touchdowns this past season for the Seawolves. He tallied 2,954 yards and 31 touchdowns during his career at Stony Brook.

The NFL teams can elect to hold one three-day postdraft rookie minicamp on May 4-7 or May 11-14.

Gurwin bunny has new name

COMMACK: The votes are in and tallied for the Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center’s bunny naming contest. As a result of a social media contest, Gurwin residents revealed today the new name of their adopted pet therapy bunny, now known as Nelly Furwin.

In the few short weeks he’s been at Gurwin, Nelly has endeared himself to both staff and residents alike.

“Spending time snuggling and stroking his soft fur provides a source of comfort and happiness and induces a sense of nurturing,” said Dawn Lettau, director of therapeutic recreation at Gurwin. “A daily dose of Nelly is the ideal prescription to improve overall mood. Thank you to all who participated in our contest to help give our furry friend the perfect name!”

NEWS AROUND TOWN

Harbor Country Day School celebrates 60th anniversary

On March 23, Harbor Country Day School celebrated its 60th anniversary with a Diamond Jubilee event at Flowerfield in St. James.

Nearly 250 guests gathered at the catering venue to celebrate the independent school’s 60 years of “embracing the extraordinary in every child.”

Guests included current and former faculty and staff, members of the board of trustees, parents of current and former students and alumni from nearly every decade the St. James school has been in operation.

In addition to honoring the school’s milestone year, guests feted the Malcolm Smith Jr. family, one of Harbor Country Day School’s inaugural families and descendants of Richard Smith, who settled the town of Smithtown in 1665. Attendees also celebrated Natalie Scheyer, who served as Harbor Country Day’s first grade teacher for 29 years — the longest tenure of any teacher since the school was founded in 1958.

“Eighteen families joined forces in 1958 to create an educational opportunity for their children that was different from anything available in their community at the time,” said Head of School John Cissel. “When Harbor Country Day School opened its doors for the first time on Sept.

12 of that year, I wonder if those families knew they were building

something so special, so extraordinary, that we would be here celebrating its existence 60 years later.”

Cissel continued, “I suspect they must have known, because although much has changed since 1958, the mission — to cherish childhood, cultivate wonder and inspire confident learners and leaders — has remained the same so many years later, with children at the center of everything Harbor does.”
