Artist of the month

'Grateful’ by Lana Ballot

Lana Ballot — Pastel Artist

By Irene ruddock Lana Ballot, a signature member of the Pastel Society of America is known for her stunning seascapes and coastal scenes, one of which just won first place (‘Grateful’) in The Art Guild of Port Washington Juried Exhibition America. Here, she shares her views on her art with us.

What is your heritage and how has it affected your art?

I was born in Siberia, Russia, but most of my childhood was spent in Kyrgyzstan, in the south of the former Soviet Union. We lived near a resort area with a large beautiful lake (the second largest mountain lake in the world), beaches and distant mountain views. I remember watching how the lake changes colors depending on the weather, or how the setting sun colors the mountain peaks golden and pink. There I started paying close attention to colors in nature and I’m sure that’s why now, as an artist, I’m so attracted to landscape and seascape as my main subjects.

Where did you study?

It was clear since I was a child that I had some artistic ability, but there were no art schools where we lived. After I came to the United States, I felt that I was given a chance to start over and do what I really love. I enrolled as a studio arts major at Stony Brook and spent years immersed in drawing, painting and learning art history.

146500

Why do you prefer to work with pastels?

Pastels are a perfect medium that fits so well in a contemporary lifestyle — it does not require much space or use of any toxic solvents and it’s very portable, which makes it perfect for painting outdoors.

Pastels are made of pure powdered pigment that is held together with very little binder, so they have the highest color concentration than any other artist’ medium. The colors in paintings made with pastels will stay brilliant and fresh for centuries!

’Light can reveal something special in any place, and I wish to express that through color in my paintings.’

— Lana BaLLot

Where do you teach?

I was fortunate to have been invited to join the group of talented artists teaching at The Atelier at Flowerfield in St. James. Currently, I offer two classes — a studio Pastel Painting class on Tuesday evenings and a Plein Air with Pastels class on Friday mornings. In addition to these ongoing classes, I teach workshops that are usually focused on a specific subject, like Painting Seascapes with Pastels from Aug. 18 to 20. This June, I’m teaching a week-long Plein Air workshop in Tuscany, Italy — a dream destination for a landscape painter!

Tell me about your Tuscany workshop. Can people still sign up for it?

Yes, there’s still time to sign up. This is a painting vacation from June 17 to 24.

The group will be staying in a villa in Tuscany, near the beautiful town of Cortona, the filming location for the movie “Under the Tuscan Sun.” Learning in a relaxed atmosphere in a gorgeous setting, while enjoying Italian food and wine will be a wonderful experience.

Do you have a favorite place to paint on Long Island?

Why do you like painting en plein air?

There’s no substitute for learning about color for a landscape artist than to paint outside en plein air. Besides, it’s just great to be immersed in my subject, with all senses engaged.

[John Singer] Sargent is one of the biggest influences on my work for his sense of color and expressive brushwork.

If you had to choose one word to describe your art, what would that be?

Color! That is what most people would mention when they speak about my work. It’s also the brilliant color that is found in, and is so special about, my preferred painting medium — pastels.

Where can we see your work and learn more about your teaching and the workshops?

Feel Concerned You’re Locked Into Your Genes?

IF YOU THInk IT’S TOO LaTe TO CHanGe, reaD THe COmmenTS FrOm mY prOUD paTIenTS beLOW: The results I have achieved working with Dr. Dunaief have been quite remarkable. My primary goal was to reduce average blood pressure to acceptable levels.

This was accomplished in a little over 3 months.

Coincidentally I was able to reduce my overall cholesterol from 250 to 177 with a much improved LDL/HDL ratio in 4 months.

In addition I lost over 30 lbs and went from 24% body fat to 17.7%. I have some good days but mostly great days and I’m very happy with the results and look forward to even more improvement in the future.

—D.L., age 64

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

“My cardiologist was so impressed with my results. By following Dr. Dunaief’s advice, I’ve been able to stop all three of my blood pressure medications. My heart palpitations, which were limiting my activities, have dramatically reduced in frequency, my energy levels have increased and I have lost 15 pounds in two months.” ~ Nurse, age 62 “I feel awesome after eating the diet, especially in the morning. I can’t believe how much has improved with such small changes. My cholesterol is normal, and my triglycerides dropped dramatically - almost 200 points! My blood pressure medication was stopped, yet my blood pressure is the best it has ever been.” ~ E.M., age 44

“…just wanted to share the…great news – I passed my fitness test and achieved my highest score ever! Thank you for all your support and help. You know how important this was for me.

I’m so pleased with the results.” ~ Military Surgeon, age 43

High blood pressure’s nighttime effects Complications are highest during sleeping hours

Hypertension (high blood pressure) deserves a substantial amount of attention.

There are currently about 76 million people with high blood pressure in the U.S. Put another way, one in three adults have this disorder (1). If that isn’t scary enough, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the number of people dying from complications of hypertension increased by 23 percent from 2000 to 2013 (2).

And talk about scary, it turns out that fear of the boogie man should take a back seat to high blood pressure during nighttime sleeping hours. This is when the probability of complications, such as cardiovascular events and mortality, may have their highest

By David incidence.

Dunaief, M.D. Unfortunately, as adults, it does not matter what age or what sex you are; we are all at increased risk of complications from high blood pressure, even isolated systolic (top number) blood pressure, which means without having the diastolic (bottom number) elevated as well.

Fortunately, hypertension is highly modifiable in terms of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality (3).

At least some of the risk factors are probably familiar to you. These include being significantly overweight and obese (BMI >27.5 kg/m²), smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, family history, age, increased sodium, depression, low vitamin D, diabetes and too much alcohol (4).

Of course, antihypertensive (blood pressure) medications treat this disorder.

In addition, there are nonpharmacological approaches that have benefits. These include lifestyle modifications with diet, exercise and potentially supplements. An item on the game show “Jeopardy” read: “You can treat it with diet and lifestyle changes as well as drugs: HBP.” The corresponding answer was, “What is high blood pressure?” We made the big time!

Risk factors matter, but not equally In a study, results showed that those with poor diets had 2.19 times increased risk of developing high blood pressure.

This was the greatest contributor to developing this disorder (5). Another risk factor with a significant impact was being at least modestly overweight (BMI >27.5 kg/ m²) at 1.87 times increased risk. This surprisingly, albeit slightly, trumped cigarette smoking at 1.83 times increased risk. Interestingly, weekly binge drinking at 1.87 times increased risk was equivalent to being overweight. This study was observational and involved 2,763 participants.

The moral is that a freewheeling lifestyle can have a detrimental impact on blood pressure and cause at least stage 1 hypertension (systolic between 140 and 159 mmHg and/or diastolic between 90 and 99 mmHg).

High blood pressure doesn’t discriminate One of the most feared complications of hypertension is cardiovascular disease, because it can result in death. In a study, isolated systolic hypertension was shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and death in both young and middle-aged men and women between 18 and 49 years old, compared to those who had optimal blood pressure (6). The effect was greatest in women, with a 55 percent increased risk in cardiovascular disease and 112 percent increased risk in heart disease death.

High blood pressure has complications associated with it, regardless of onset age. Though this study was observational, which is not the best, it was very large and had a 31-year duration.

in cardiovascular event risk. Now we can potentially see why. These were patients who had chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Generally, 85 to 95 percent of those with CKD have hypertension.

Dietary tidbits

Diet plays a role in controlling high blood pressure. In a study, blueberry powder (22 grams) in a daily equivalent to one cup of fresh blueberries reduced systolic blood pressure by a respectable 7 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 5 mmHg over 2 months (10). This is not bad, especially since the patients were prehypertensive, not hypertensive, at baseline, with a mean systolic blood pressure of 138 mmHg. This is a modest amount of fruit with a significant impact, demonstrating exciting results in a small, preliminary, doubleblind, placebo-controlled randomized trial.

Your turn

Remembering Long Island ladies who took to sea

By Nomi DayaN “It is no place for a woman,” wrote Captain James Haviland on the Baltic in 1856, “on board of a whaleship.”

The long saga of hunting whales, one of Long Island’s most historically prominent industries, was unquestionably viewed as a man’s world. Whalers were exclusively male, and their lives were fraught with dangers and hardships, cramped and filthy living conditions, rowdy company, monotonous life and risky circumstances. No wonder Irish traveler John Ross Browne wrote in 1846, “There is no class of men in the world who are so unfairly dealt with, so oppressed, so degraded, as the seamen who man the vessels engaged in the American whale fishery.”

The life of a whaling wife was undoubtedly a lonely one, almost like that of a widow. She would ache for the day her husband would retire. But as time went on, some women found themselves incapable of enduring the separation anymore, and a number of captain’s wives broke boundaries by deciding to do what no woman had done before: join their husbands at sea.

One can understand their impetus when looking at Azubah Cash of Nantucket. She had been with her husband for half a year out of an 11-year marriage, spurring her to sail with him on his next voyage.

More often than not, these wives were not renegades and rebels. They simply preferred the discomforts of life at sea to years of separation at home, defying convention that placed the woman’s role in the home, and became trailblazers by necessity. In the early 19th century, whaling wives were rare, as such behavior was unladylike. But as the industry boomed in numbers — and voyages grew in length of years — an increasing number of women made the decision to endure long and difficult years at sea, either with or without their children, showing remarkable endurance and courage. By the 1850s, one out of six whaleships carried the captain’s wife aboard. These vessels were nicknamed “hen frigates.”

The life of a whaling wife was undoubtedly a lonely one, almost like that of a widow.

A whaling wife on board would still spend her time waiting — not for her husband’s return, but instead for the ship to fill up with oil. She would not take part in the whaling process, other than casually spotting a whale; instead she would fill her days educating her children, reading, washing clothes, sewing, writing in her diary and cross-stitching while confined in cramped quarters to pass the long hours.

While a separate cook was hired to oversee meals for the crew, she may have prepared special treats.

Some wives learned how to navigate, including Maria Cartwright Baldwin of Shelter Island, who learned to take the helm. Others made efforts to bring religion to the crew.

Eliza Edwards of Sag Harbor joined her husband, Captain Eli H. Edwards, at sea in 1857.

Crew members were commonly pleased to have a woman aboard. Wives often served as nurses, a valuable role in a place where sickness and injury, some severe, were common. Women also had a calming effect on the seagoing male society; their presence made it more likely holidays would be observed, and if the captain punished a crew member, he might do so less harshly.

Children could also be a welcome distraction from the flat monotony of life at sea. However, there were instances where crew members did show frustration and resentment when family life inevitably disturbed what financially mattered — catching as many whales as possible in the shortest amount of time possible.

Whaling wives’ diaries are powerful testaments to the hardships they endured, including illness, boredom, violent seasickness, powerful storms, dangerous whaling grounds, frightening mutinies and death.

Conditions at sea left much to be desired, with rampant fleas, roaches and rodents.

Sarah Eliza Jennings of Sag Harbor was aboard the Mary Gardiner that was chased by a Confederate raider, a frightening ordeal; and Elizabeth White of Cold Spring Harbor was aboard the Courser when it was rammed by a steamship and sunk off the coast of Chile in 1873. Several Long Island whaleships were caught in an early Arctic freeze in 1871, and wives and their

children escaped onto the ice with the crew (all were rescued).

Whaling wives’ diaries also reflect the excitement of the rare chance to socialize with women who happened to be passing by on other whaleships, an experience called gamming. The opportunity was a chance to catch up on news and fill the tremendous void of social contact. Even with their husbands at sea, seagoing wives — known for their propriety -— faced social isolation as the only woman on board.

When seagoing wife Eliza William’s brother-in-law was asked what her success at sea could be attributed to, he replied “always minding her own business.”

When wives found themselves “in circumstance,” they were often conveniently deposited in Hawaii for several months while the crew continued on. Interestingly, a society of whaling wives grew there, forming a social network and domestic circle. They helped each other with births, circulated crochet patterns and shared each other’s company.

Martha S. Brewer Brown (1821-1911) of Oysterponds spent time in Hawaii. After the agonizing choice to leave her 2-yearold daughter with relatives, she sailed with her husband, Edwin Peter Brown, who was one of Long Island’s most successful whaling captains of all time: On one voyage, he filled his ship with 1,500 barrels of oil in 363

days, circling the globe without dropping anchor and setting a world record. Martha was unhappy and resentful at being left in Hawaii to give birth. “My husband left me in one of the most unpleasant situation a Lady can be left in, without her husband, among strangers, with the request that I would do my [clothes] washing myself — a thing which no other American Lady does, not even the mission Ladies,” she wrote in her diary. She forbade her husband to leave her for whaling again, but he did.

Eliza Edwards of Sag Harbor was another brave soul to join her husband, Captain Eli H. Edwards, at sea in 1857. She too lived in Hawaii for a time, becoming close friends with other women there, while the crew continued on to the Okhotsk Sea. Her letters expound on Hawaiian life at the time and are in Mystic Seaport Museum’s collection.

Some mothers raised their children at sea for prolonged periods of time. Caroline Rose (the “Belle of Southampton”) sailed with her husband, Captain Jetur Rose, for 15 years. One cabin boy called the couple “the finest people he had ever met.” Caroline gave birth to her only child, Emma, in Honolulu in 1856, who was raised at sea.

Emma logged thousands of miles before her 13th birthday. When a missionary came on board to try to educate Emma, claiming “no one on a whaler knew anything,” Emma stated, “I know the Ten Commandments and multiplication table, and that is enough for any little girl to know.”

Mothers certainly had to deal with the ordeal of children falling sick at sea. Elizabeth Jones of Setauket on the Tri-Mountain cared for five children who came down with measles at sea, all at the same time (all the children recovered).

Aside from whaling wives, other “sister sailors” joined their husbands at sea on coastal traders, such as Mary Satterly of Setauket, who spent her 24-year marriage at sea with her husband, Captain Henry Rowland, starting in 1852.

Compared to other regions, whaling wives from Long Island were relatively infrequent because the wife-traveling trend was not synced with the area’s earlier decrease of local whaling companies. But even when women were not physically present on whaleships, their presence remained ubiquitous in another way. To fill idle hours at sea, whalers carefully carved scrimshaw, painstakingly etching images on whale teeth and bones.

One of the most widespread themes is a fancy, beautifully dressed woman. Some pieces depict sweethearts or female relatives; others were copied out of advertisements; others were dreamy, classy, highsociety fantasies conjured by men who had not seen a woman in months (as well as not having bathed in months).

It is a treat today to be able to gaze at these women, who stare back at us from the surface of a tooth. Frozen in their cold medium of bone, they challenge us to rethink our own assumptions today: Is there a ship we would rather be on?

TheaTer review

SCPA’s ‘Wonderettes’ is simply wonderful

By Rita J. Egan The Wonderettes are back in town and they are as marvelous as they were during their high school days in the ’50s. The musical comedy “The Marvelous Wonderettes: Dream On” opened at the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts last Saturday, just in time for some warm weather fun.

Ronald Green III has done a terrific job in directing the four actors in the production, which is one of the sequels to the longrunning off-Broadway hit “The Marvelous Wonderettes.” Written and created by Roger Bean, the story begins in 1969, as Cindy Lou, Betty Jean, Missy and Suzy reunite to perform at the retirement party of their former teacher at Springfield High, Miss McPherson.

The first act provides a handful of hits from the ’60s, and as the party ends, Cindy Lou announces she has dreams of making it big in the music business. In the second act, at their 20-year high school reunion in 1978, the Wonderettes are as sensational as ever when they perform iconic hits from the ’70s.

Katie Ferretti (Cindy Lou), Jessica AderFerretti (Betty Jane), Marielle Greguski (Missy) and Jacqueline Hughes (Suzy) all deliver dream-worthy performances in this four-women show. Their vocals and harmonization are excellent, and they nail the corny girl-band dance moves of the past.

Ferretti has the right amount of sass and confidence to play Cindy Lou and is convincing as the girl who always gets the guy,

From left, Marielle greguski, Jessica ader-Ferretti, Jacqueline Hughes and Katie Ferretti star in ‘the Marvelous Wonderettes: Dream On’ Photo courtesy of SCPA and yet at times plays the role with enough tenderness that one can’t help but feel sorry for her when things don’t go quite her way.

Ader-Ferretti is witty as Betty Jane who always has a quick comeback for any situation, and despite that wit, the audience can also sense the singer’s big heart, especially for her on-again, off-again love, Johnny.

Greguski is a sweet, quirky Missy who keeps everything together. When things look like they may go south with her husband Mr. Lee, she’s so lovable, theatergoers can’t help but feel sorry for her.

Hughes is a giddy and ditzy Suzy, and while an actor on stage may not portray her high-school-sweetheart-now-husband,

Richie, whether she looks out into the audience with affection or longing, one would be convinced that he is actually sitting in one of the seats.

When it comes to the story line, some of the highlights of the show are when the Wonderettes interact with the audience members. The improvised scenes with ticket holders lead to some of the funniest moments in the musical.

The list of songs that complement the story line is a baby boomer’s dream, and like the Wonderettes, the four women know how to belt out a tune from the first song “Gimme Some Lovin’” to the closing number that blends “We Are Family” with

the reprise of “Gimme Some Lovin’.” The actresses harmonize beautifully, and they each have their time to shine in the spotlight multiple times during the musical with well-executed solos.

Ferretti delivers beautiful renditions of songs such as “You’re No Good,” “Band of Gold” and “Groupie (Superlove)” while Ader-Ferretti is soulful and strong during her numbers, especially with “I Keep Forgettin’,” “When Will I Be Loved” and “I Will Survive.”

Greguski also is strong and soulful on songs such as “For Once in My Life” and “Don’t Leave Me This Way,” and Hughes delivers heartfelt versions of “More Than Yesterday” and “Lonely Night (Angelface).”

The numbers are perfect examples of how theatergoers will believe Richie is sitting right in the audience with them.

The theater’s band, with conductor and keyboardist Melissa Coyle, Craig Coyle on keyboard, Ray Sabatello on guitar, Chad Goodstein on bass and Jim Waddell on drums, were just as wonderful as the stars of the show. SCPA’s “The Marvelous Wonderettes: Dream On” is a delightful, highenergy production that will have you leaving the theater humming and feeling better than when you entered.

The Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts, 2 E. Main Street, Smithtown, presents “The Marvelous Wonderettes: Dream On” until June 17. All seats are $35. For show schedule and more information, call 631724-3700 or visit www.smithtownpac.org.

How about a swig of Midnight Rum?

Latest LIM exhibit reveals Long Isand’s wild role in Prohibition era

By SuSan RiSoli Prohibition made the 1920s roar. Long Island was the center of all the glamour and danger of that whirlwind time, as we now know from Midnight Rum, a new exhibit on display through Sept. 4 at The Long Island Museum in Stony Brook.

“Being on a coast and having so many inlets, Long Island was a natural” for running illegal alcohol, said LIM Executive Director Neil Watson. Proximity to New York City was

another factor. The exhibit, which Watson described as “unusually stimulating and rich,” reveals the daring and ingenuity of people making the most of an era that lasted from 1920 to 1933. “When alcohol was banned, it flourished,” he said, “but it flourished in a different way.”

A massive car built for adventure greets the visitor to the gallery. Was this 1927 Ford Model T touring car one of the vehicles involved in illegal activity? We don’t know for sure. But memories and newspaper accounts reveal that similar Model Ts were the car of choice for smuggling booze. The one in the LIM show is a black chariot with a black leather interior.

The running board alone could hold a small gang, and the button-tufted back seat looks made for shenanigans.

Assistant curator Jonathan Olly said he originally wanted to find a rum runner boat to display. He found someone willing to loan one for the exhibit.

But the motorboat was just a foot too wide to fit into the gallery. “It was a disappointment,” he recalled.

After contacting multiple car collecting clubs and individuals, “some of whom are very elderly,” Olly turned up the Model T in the exhibit. The owner was willing to drive it out to Stony Brook from Bayside, Queens — no easy journey, given the distance and the car’s top speed of 40ish miles per hour. “We lucked out,” Olly said.

Olly said although Long Island played a Olly and his colleagues found the perfect accompaniment to the car: vintage wooden key role in what he called “a very extreme mocrates just like those that would have been ment in American culture, when alcohol sudused to store liquor, “from a guy who sells denly became illegal,” there were challenges reconditioned Jeep parts out in Riverhead.” in putting the exhibit together. “Everyone has The idea came from a 1924 newspaper ar- some sort of anecdote about Prohibition,” he ticle that described a Model T, found in a said, but often anecdotes are … well … only shed by authorities, with 13 cases of liquor anecdotal. Finding all the objects needed to tell the story properly was a complex task, he hidden in it.

Midnight Rum is a feast of details. Some said, and consequently “a lot of the objects are are luxurious, some are practical, but no less borrowed. It’s not a story we could tell withfascinating. A vignette of objects portraying a out a number of lenders.”

Setauket Presbyterian to host two Community Forums Over the centuries, beginning with involvement in the Culper Spy Ring during the Revolutionary War, Setauket Presbyterian Church members have reached out beyond their walls to work with community leaders, listen to their constituencies, and help them meet their needs and express their perspectives of hope for the future.

In that spirit, the Setauket church has organized two Community Engagement Forums that will take place on Thursday, May 18 and Tuesday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. in its sanctuary.

Panelists invited to offer presentations and answer questions from the audience include Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station), Superintendent of the Three Village Schools Cheryl Pedisich, former CEO of the Community Development Corporation Marianne Garvin, pastor of Bethel AME Church and leader of Building Bridges in Brookhaven Rev. Gregory Leonard, Director of Hope House Ministries Fr. Frank Pizzarelli and Director of the LI Immigrant Alliance Luis Valenzuela.

Topics will range from the opioid epidemic to deportation fears; affordable housing to racial, cultural and interfaith concerns; updates in education to local community development; and increasing poverty and hunger to inequality before the law.

All are welcome to join in a discernment process of priorities in our community and how our constituencies can work together to act now and affect changes for the future.

ake it from me, a longtime mom — of all the Mother’s Day celebrations and gifts I’ve received over the years, breakfast in bed was the best. While fancy restaurant brunches were a treat, they were prepared by a stranger.

But the ones cooked at home by the people I love were endearingly special.

Awakened by the clatter of dishes, pots and pans and quarreling voices, I would lie in bed obsessing over what kind of a mess I’d find in the kitchen. Then, when I heard the tentative knock and loud whispers outside my door, I feigned sleep, then a yawny surprise as the miniature chefs ever so carefully placed a tray on my lap. I had raised them right. Alongside pancakes, muffins or waffles there was always a flower in a bud vase, a pretty cloth napkin and a garnish on each plate.

Here are three recipes that range from super easy for little hands to a bit more complicated with help from bigger hands for a Mother’s Day breakfast in bed. Whether you use them all or just one or two, if you don’t forget to add a steaming mug of her favorite coffee or tea, I can guarantee you Mom will be delighted.

And ... be sure to clean up afterward!

Frittata with Goat Cheese, Tomato and Chives For little hands to prepare and big hands to cook.

YIELD: Makes one serving INGREDIENTS: • • • • •

long island gardening

Snowball hydrangeas benefit from a pruning in early spring.

Photo by Ellen Barcel

By EllEn BarcEl Well, spring is here and one of the chores necessary for the gardener is to do some spring pruning. Pruning is not one of my favorite gardening jobs but can be needed. In general, put the right type of plant in the right place to start with as you plan new plantings. That way you won’t spend an inordinate amount of time keeping plants small that really want to be large.

Minimizing pruning • If you know that the shrub is going to reach 10 feet tall at maturity, don’t plant it in front of a window — unless, of course, you don’t want to see out of the window. Plant slow-growing, dwarf plants in that situation.

• Don’t plant evergreen trees right up against the house, or any trees for that matter. They’ll grow up against the house, making for an unsightly shaped tree, and you’ll spend a lot of time pruning them to keep them from taking over. Also, they’ll allow critters of all sorts to climb up them and damage your roof (yes, I know from experience). They’ll shade the house so much that the roof won’t dry out properly after a rainstorm. Large trees should be planted at the back of your property and smaller specimen trees toward the front for the best appearance.

• If you hate pruning — what gardener doesn’t — select plants that need minimal pruning such as conifers. Usually the gardener just needs to remove any dead branches (rare), really weirdly growing branches or multiple leaders in pyramidalshaped trees.

• Always research the specific plant you want to add to your garden so you know exactly what will happen with that plant in the future.

Rules of thumb • Prune out any dead branches as soon as possible, especially ones that are creating a hazardous situation.

• To control the height of flowering plants, prune them back immediately after they have bloomed. In this way you won’t interrupt the flowering cycle for next year. That means don’t prune forsythia until right after its put out its yellow flowers in April. Prune rose of Sharon later in the summer after it has bloomed.

Don’t prune Hydrangea macrophylla (blue and pink flowering shrubs) until after it has bloomed since it blooms on old (last year’s) wood. Hydrangea arborescens (snowballs), however, benefit from cutting back in early spring since they bloom on new wood.

• Never take off more than one-third of the growing area of a shrub (or blades of grass). Taking more can seriously compromise the health of the plant, even killing it. While some shrubs, like euonymous, or trees like catalpa, will grow from the roots, many others will not if cut back too far.

• Always keep an eye to the overall shape of a plant. For example, if a plant has a pyramidal shape you want to maintain that. If there are stray branches that stick out beyond the pyramidal shape or double leaders, trim them, remembering conifers generally do not resprout the way broadleaf plants do.

• Always research the specific plants you’re pruning to make sure you do it correctly. Sometimes a plant just doesn’t conform to the norm.

Nobel laureate Carol Greider gives keynote at CSHL graduation

On Sunday, May 7, distinguished scientists joined proud friends and family at the 14th commencement ceremony of the Watson School of Biological Sciences (WSBS) at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). Eight outstanding young scientists were awarded the degree of doctor of philosophy and an honorary degree was bestowed upon Nobel laureate Carol Greider, Ph.D., who spent nearly a decade at CSHL early in her career.

Jamie C. Nicholls, chairman of the laboratory’s board of trustees, addressed the graduating class, saying, “The Watson School graduation is a favorite event for all of us.

At its core, it celebrates scientific talent and the unique culture of Cold Spring Harbor. I know I am not alone in saying how uplifting it is to see some of the best and the brightest from multiple countries come together to focus on science.”

Attendees who gathered in CSHL’s Grace Auditorium were welcomed by Bruce Stillman, CSHL president and CEO, and by Alexander Gann, dean of the Watson School.

“These students are proud products of our unique program,” said Gann. “We enable students to complete their Ph.D. degrees two years quicker than the national average, and this is achieved not by lowering standards; rather, it is the result of dedicated faculty ensuring these exceptional students pursue science in a highly focused way.”

Greider, honored at Sunday’s WSBS graduation, working with Elizabeth Blackburn, in 1984 discovered telomerase, an enzyme that maintains telomeres, the “caps” at the end of chromosomes. In her convocation address, Greider spoke of her career, including her award of the 2009 Nobel Prize (shared with Blackburn and Jack Szostak), in characteristically self-effacing terms. She advised the graduates to expect both ups and downs in the research careers that lay before them — but never to become discouraged.

The Watson School is named for James D. Watson, now CSHL chancellor emeritus. Along with the late Francis

In 1962, the two were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery, along with Maurice Wilkins.

For a record third time, Associate Professor Gurinder “Mickey” Atwal, a quantitative biologist, was honored with the Winship Herr Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Named for the founding dean of the Watson School, the

award is annually given to a teacher singled out by the school’s first-year students.

This year, Herr, now a professor at the Université de Lausanne in Switzerland, was present at the commencement convocation. He said the new graduates’ talents and early successes was a mark of the school’s success in attaining its lofty founding objectives.

Clockwise from above, the Stony Brook women’ s lacrosse team is all smiles after winning its fifth straight America East championship; Kylie Ohlmiller pulls back to pass the ball downfield; and Taryn Ohlmiller, Kylie’s sister, moves the ball up the field.

Five fingers for five straight championships Junior Kylie Ohlmiller scored the first three goals of the game, as the No. 4 Stony Brook women’s lacrosse team jumped out to a 6-0 lead and held off the University at Albany to clinch its fifth consecutive America East championship with a 14-12 victory May 7. With the win — Stony Brook’s 13th-straight win — the Seawolves improve to 18-1.

“There is a lot of familiarity between two teams who play each other twice for six years,” Stony Brook head coach Joe Spallina said. “They knew a lot of our tendencies, we knew a lot of theirs. Nothing is going to come easy when you’re trying to win a championship game. I’m proud of them.”

Ohlmiller finished the game with six goals and one assist to give her a nationleading 145 points on the season. She has 70 goals and 75 assists through May 12 and will enter the NCAA Tournament three points back of Jen Adams’ Division I singleseason record of 148 set in 2001. Her 75 assists on the season passed Denver’s Jill Remenapp for second in a single season in NCAA history. She is eight assists shy of the Division I single-season record of 83 set by the Northwestern University’s Hannah Nielsen in 2009 and is the first player in Division I history with 70 goals and 70 assists in a single season.

Sophomore Keri McCarthy tallied 10 draw controls, her highest total since she corralled a career-high 12 against Marist College Feb. 21.

Freshman Taryn Ohlmiller, Kylie’s younger sister, scored three goals to cement her fourth consecutive hat trick and now has 16 goals over her last four games. Senior Dorrien Van Dyke recorded two goals, two ground balls and five draw controls.

The Ohlmiller sister, senior Ashley

Gomes and junior Carolyn Carrera were named to the All-Championship Team, with Kylie Ohlmiller taking home Most Outstanding Player honors with a tournament-record 15 points.

Stony Brook has now defeated Albany five straight times in the conference title game and has won 10 straight overall against the Great Danes.

won 26 straight games against America East competition.

Stony Brook also improves to 57-5 (.919) at LaValle Stadium under Spallina.

The Seawolves clinched the automatic berth to the NCAA tournament by winning Sunday, and, as the No. 8 national seed, will host Bryant University May 12 at 4:30 p.m. The winner will play either Albany or Northwestern May 14 at noon at LaValle Stadium.

Mission Statement: Beloved daughters and sons of the Catholic parish of St. James, formed as the Body of Christ through the waters of Baptism, are a pilgrim community on Camiño-toward the fullness of the Kingdom of God, guided by the Holy Spirit. Our response to Jesus’ invitation to be faithful and fruitful disciples requires us to be nurtured by the Eucharist and formed by the Gospel’s call to be a Good Samaritan to neighbor and enemy. That in Jesus’ name we may be a welcoming community respectful of life in all its diversities and beauty; stewards of and for God’s creation; and witnesses to Faith, Hope and Charity.

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

SBU Undergrad engineers see opportunities to learn and help in Kenya Harnassing the Technology of our Research Giants

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF In a region known for the study of fossils left behind millions of years ago, a team of students from Stony Brook University’s College of Engineering and Applied Sciences is planning to travel to Kenya this summer to learn about and try to solve the challenges of today.

The university will send eight undergraduates to the Turkana Basin Institute for the engineering department’s first program in Kenya, which will run for over four weeks. In addition to classroom study, the students will seek opportunities to offer solutions to problems ranging from refrigeration, to energy production, to water purification.

The students learned about the opportunity in the spring, only a few months before they would travel to a country where the climate and standard of living for Kenyans present new challenges.

“We were skeptical about how many students we would be able to get,” said Fotis Sotiropoulos, the dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, who “didn’t start marketing this” until after he took a trip to Kenya and the Turkana Basin Institute, which Stony Brook created at the direction of world-renowned anthropologist Richard Leakey.

Giancarlos Llanos Romero, who is interested in robotics and nanotechnology and is finishing his junior year, had originally planned to spend the summer seeking an internship in the Netherlands or Germany.

When he learned about this opportunity, he immediately changed his focus. “I need to do this,” Romero said.

“This is much more important than anything I could do in an internship.”

On first blush, the trip is anything but ideal for Romero, whose skin is sensitive to extreme heat, which he can expect to encounter in the subSaharan African country.

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

He didn’t want that, however, to stop him and is planning to travel with seven other people he met for the first time last week.

Romero said his immediate family, which is originally from Colombia, supported the trip.

Sotiropoulos, who is in his first year as dean, embraced the notion of connecting the engineering department with the Turkana Basin Institute.

“Before I came here” said Sotiropoulos, “I felt very passionately about making sure that engineering students became familiar with the rest of the world” and that they understood global challenges, including issues like poverty and water scarcity.

Sotiropoulos met with TBI Director Lawrence Martin during one of his interviews prior to his arrival at SBU. Martin invited Sotiropoulos to visit with Richard Leakey, the founder of TBI whose family has been making scientific discoveries in Kenya for three generations.

This program quickly came together after those meetings.

The two courses will teach students about design thinking, said Robert Kukta, the associate dean for undergraduate programs in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Stony Brook would like to help students develop “the ability to think broadly about solutions and boil it down to the essence of the problem,” Kukta said. This, he said, will all occur in the context of a different culture and local resources.

Students will start their summer experience in Nairobi and then they will travel to Princeton University’s Mpala Research Centre, Martin said.

“The journey through Kenyan towns opens visitors’ eyes tremendously to how different peoples’ lives are in different parts of the world,” Martin explained by email. “The goal is not so much to contribute immediately but to understand the challenges that people face, the resources available locally and then to improve their ability to think through possible solutions.”

Horoscopes for the third week of May TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Nagging doubts about an investment may be trying to tell you something, Taurus. Hold off on any bold moves until you feel more confident with parting ways with cash.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, if you have already committed to something, see it through. The end result may be something unexpected. Others are anxious to see what you can accomplish.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

Take the emotional plunge, Cancer.

Someone special needs to hear about it pronto. This is not a week to clam up, but rather one to share your feelings and let others in.

Student Giancarlos Llanos Romero will be joining the SBU team on a trip to Kenya this summer.

’I need to do this. This is much more important than anything I could do in an internship.’

— GIANCARLOS LLANOS ROMERO Once students arrive at TBI, they will have an opportunity to see fossils from many time periods, including those from late Cretaceous dinosaurs.

“Every visitor I have ever taken to TBI is amazed and in awe of the abundance of fossil evidence for past life on Earth,” Martin said.

A distinguished professor in the Department of Chemistry at SBU, Benjamin Hsiao, who traveled with Sotiropoulos to Kenya in the spring, is a co-founding director of Innovative Global Energy Solutions Center. Hsiao has been developing water filtration systems through IGESC, which brings together TBI with universities, industry, international governments and foundations. He is well acquainted with the challenges the first set of students will face.

“Once we bring technologies over to Kenya, [sometimes] they do not work for reasons we have not thought of,” which include dust or a broken part for which it’s difficult to find a replacement, he said. “Those failed experiments give us tremendous insight about how to design the next-generation systems which will be much more robust and sustainable and easier to operate by local people.”

Acacia Leakey, who grew up in Kenya and is Richard Leakey’s grandniece, recently completed her senior design project as an undergraduate at Stony

Brook. Her work is intended to help farmers extend the life of their tomato plants when they bring them to market.

About 32 percent of the tomatoes go to waste from the extreme heat. Acacia and her team developed a vegetable cooler that employs solar panels to reduce the temperature from 32 degrees Celsius to 15 degrees Celsius, which should extend the life of the tomatoes.

Her classmates were “surprisingly supportive” of her work, she said, as some of them hadn’t considered applying their skills in a developing country.

Leakey, who will train for her master’s degree at Stony Brook this fall, will continue to provide insights into Madagascar, another developing African nation where the university has an internationally acclaimed research center.

This summer, she will produce a video that will record information from villages near Centre ValBio in Madagascar, which she will bring back to Stony Brook in the hopes of encouraging others to use that information to create their own design projects next year.

As for Romero, who is raising money for the trip through a GoFundMe page, he is prepared to discover opportunities amid the challenges of his upcoming trip and is eager “to be able to actually help a community and say I left a mark.”

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Going back to school might be the best path for you at this time, Leo. Although this might stretch your schedule to its limits, you’ll find the time if it’s important to you.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Volunteering can bring more meaning to your life, Virgo, especially if you feel yourself struggling right now. Giving back can sometimes make your problems seem small.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, trips may seem like they have to be large undertakings, but that’s not always the case. Try for a short jaunt somewhere and enjoy the scenery.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

The time has come to spend less time thinking and more time doing, Scorpio.

Turn a page in your life and you’ll likely be satisfied with the results.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

There are a few friends who have stuck by your side through thick and thin, Sagittarius. When one comes knocking at your door for help, give this person the support he or she needs.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, you can find a solution to a problem even if the answer eludes you for the time being. Don’t overthink what has to be done. This is a time to act.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, you always have time to do something for yourself, but you might need to put that on hold right now and focus on others. Forge ahead even if you are met with resistance.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, do not think about anything but having fun for the next few days. Others will begin to live vicariously through you.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, finding what you desire when you haven’t made your own mind up about what you want can be challenging. Some soul-searching can probably come up with something promising.
