Adult coloring contest drAws them in

Dear Readers, We recently held our second annual adult coloring contest. Readers age 21 and older were asked to color in the cover of Arts & Lifestyles.

The response was overwhelming, and we received many colorful entries from readers all along the North Shore who used many different types of medium, including colored pencils, markers and crayons to create their masterpieces.

Mary Ellen Giel of Mount Sinai commented, “This was very relaxing and therapeutic to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon!” and, along with her entry, Marie Marchese of Port Jefferson Station enclosed a wonderful letter describing how entering this coloring contest brought back a beautiful memory of when she used to color as a child. She writes, “My mother entered me in a Roy Rogers Coloring Contest and I won a complete outfit — pants, jacket and cowboy hat.”

Michelle Roach of Stony Brook touched our hearts the most by enclosing a letter thanking us for having the contest. Currently battling health issues, she writes, “There are days I can barely walk [and] to pick up my paints and colored pencils brings me happiness.”

Although it was extremely difficult to choose a winner as every entry was unique in its own way, Mary Wueste of Stony Brook edged out the competition with her entry using gel pens on her butterflies that seemed to jump off the page! Mary receives a threeyear subscription to any one of our six papers, courtesy of Times Beacon Record Newspapers. And surprise, all other entries will receive a one-year subscription for entering our contest. Congratulations to all!

‘Some Like It Hot’ heats up local screens

The film that holds the top spot on the American Film Institute’s list of the funniest American movies of all time will return to select cinemas nationwide for two days only on Sunday, June 11, and Wednesday, June 14, at 2 p.m. and again at 7 p.m.

Turner Classic Movies and Fathom Events will present the screenings of “Some Like It Hot” (1959) along with specially produced commentary from TCM host Tiffany Vazquez before and after the film.

Billy Wilder’s beloved comedy is about two jazz musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) who find themselves on the run

after they inadvertently witness a gangland murder. With no money and nowhere to hide, the two masquerade as members of an all-girl band, leading to a number of romantic complications when one falls for the band’s lead singer played by Marilyn Monroe in one of her most iconic roles.

Participating theaters in our neck of the woods include AMC Loews Stony Brook 17, Farmingdale Multiplex Cinemas and Island 16 Cinema de Lux in Holtsville. For more information or to purchase your tickets in advance, visit www.fathomevents.com.

On Thursday, June 22, beginning at 8:30 a.m., the American Kidney Fund (AKF) will bring together local businesses and residents who care about kidney disease for a networking event for a cause.

The second annual AKF NetWalk begins and ends in the parking lot at Greenway Plaza on Pinelawn Road in Melville and raises money to support AKF’s mission of helping people fight kidney disease and live healthier lives.

Registration for the NetWalk is free, and the event is open to all. All funds raised will support AKF’s programs and services.

AKF spends 97 cents of every donated dollar on patients and programs, a record of financial stewardship that consistently earns the highest ratings from the nation’s charity watchdog groups.

THIS Year DO YOU Want To reverse Disease? Want To Lose Weight?

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

Treating nail fungus

Treatment options vary wildly

With summer almost here and — believe it or not — beach weather around the corner, millions of Americans will expose their toes. Some will be more self-conscious about it than others because of a disease called onychomycosis, better known as nail fungus.

Nail fungus usually affects toenails but can also affect fingernails. It turns the nails yellow, makes them potentially brittle, creates growth underneath the nail (thickening of the nails) and may cause pain.

Many patients are bothered by this disorder. Most patients consider getting treatment for cosmetic reasons, but there are also medical reasons to treat, including the chronic or acute pain caused by nail cutting or pressure from bedsheets and footwear. There is an increased potential risk for infections, such as cellulitis, in those with compromised immune systems (1). Onychomycosis is not easy to treat and can be quite uncomfortable.

Onychomycosis affects approximately 8 percent of the population (2). The risk factors are unclear but may be relate to family history, tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), older age, swimming, diabetes,

By David psoriasis, suppresDunaief, M.D. sion of the immune system and/or living with someone affected by it (3).

There are many organisms that can affect the nail. The most common class is dermatophytes, but others are yeast (Candida) and nondermatophytes. A test commonly used to differentiate the organisms is a KOH (potassium hydroxide) preparation, which is a simple microscopic exam of skin and nail shavings. This is important since some medications work better on one type than another. Also, yellow nails alone may not be caused by onychomycosis; they can be a sign of the autoimmune disease psoriasis.

There are a plethora of therapies available for treatment. These range from overthe-counter alternative therapies to prescription topical medications to systemic, or oral, prescription therapies to laser therapies and, finally, surgery. I am regularly asked which treatment works best.

With all of these options, how is one to choose? Well, there are several important criteria, including effectiveness, length of treatment and potential adverse effects. The bad news is that none of the treatments are foolproof, and the highest “cure” rate is around two-thirds. Oral medications tend to be the most efficacious, but they also have the most side effects. The treatments can take from around three months to one year. So there is no overnight success. Unfortunately, the recurrence rate of fungal infection is thought to be approximately 20 to 50 percent with patients who have experienced “cure” (4).

Fortunately, most cases of nail fungus are benign, with only a fraction leading to infections. Infection is most common in those with diabetic neuropathy, where the patient loses feeling in their feet.

Let’s look at the evidence.

Oral antifungals

be expensive. Another research paper that reviewed the current literature concluded that laser therapies are lacking in randomized clinical trials (10).The advantage of laser treatment is the mild side effects. The disadvantages are the questionable efficacy and the cost. We need more research to determine if they are effective.

There are several options for oral antifungals, including terbinafine (Lamisil), fluconazole (Diflucan) and itraconazole.

These medications tend to have the greatest success rate, but the disadvantages are their side effects.

In a small but randomized controlled trial (RCT), Alternative therapy terbinafine was shown to Vicks VapoRub may have work better in a head-toa place in the treatment of head trial than fluconazole onychomycosis.

Artist of the month

VENDORS WANTED From left, ‘Variations on a Theme 4: New Moon’ and ‘Exodus’; below, the artist with ‘Sunrise at Low Tide’

Terence Netter — A community treasure Terence Netter, who divides his time between Setauket and Saint-Georges-surCher, France, has had an illustrious career that includes teaching, painting and wideranging administrative work in the arts.

Locally, he is known for his achievements as the first director of the Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University, and, of course, for the visionary power of his paintings. Honored recently for these contributions by Gallery North, Netter is referred to as a “community treasure.”

As Staller Center director for 19 years, what was your vision for the center?

My goal was to make the center a major showcase for the arts. I am delighted to see how it has grown under the present leadership continuing to ever expand this goal.

What inspired you to evolve into painting landscapes in a minimalist style?

I changed my style of paintings to do works which evoke a sense of peace. When I moved to France, I became a practitioner and devotee of Zen Mediation which is an ancient technique of emptying one’s mind of distractions to enter a zone of peace. It calms your spirit so that you feel at one with the universe. My present painting process is a form of this meditation, and my newer paintings are an indication of this change. I call them “Zenscapes.”

As a Christian, how do you reconcile Christianity and Zen Meditation?

The tradition of Christianity includes meditation. I was imbued with this through my study with the Jesuits. I find that both are traditions of finding peace in this ever more contentious and noisy world. Prayer and meditation are both ways of searching for the great mysteries of life and both have led me to paint in a peaceful manner.

How are art and religion entwined?

They are very much alike. The great philosopher Hegel said that art is the sensuous expression of the visual, and religion is the imaginative. Art and religion are two different forms of expressing the fact that the human spirit continues to evolve toward the infinite.

You often speak of achieving peace in your paintings. How do you define peace?

St. Thomas Aquinas says that “Peace is the tranquility of order.”

It’s the circle of life. The sun represents male power as exemplified by the god Apollo while the moon is represented by the goddess Venus. If you really want the answer to that, you will have to speak with my psychiatrist!

▶ Preferred Promotions, Ltd. is seeking merchandise vendors for its annual Summer Art & Craft Festival at Deepwells Farm, 497 Route 25A in St. James on July 22 and 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 631-563-8551 for details.

You also describe yourself as a teacher.

What is your goal as a teacher?

I feel more complete as a person in the act of teaching. It is, for me, a way of growing. I teach in order to learn. I want to show students that life is an adventure in an unknown country — it is a “vision quest.” My goal as a teacher is to inspire young minds to open up, remove prejudices, and to set people on the path to finding truth. I encourage the study of the great thinkers who have influenced me such Hegel, Rahner, Kant and Chardin, to inspire the reflection necessary for growth.

To grow, you have to be plugged into the spirit of the times — the Zeitgeist!

’I have recently begun painting to evoke a sense of peace. My paintings are an invitation to the viewer for contemplation.’

In your lectures, you talk about the search for the meaning of art through the centuries. What is your definition of the meaning of art?

Where can we see your art?

Why did you choose the Loire Valley for your second home?

I went there when I was young and decided to take my wife Therese to visit on our 30th anniversary. We bought a little farmhouse and that is where I now do

▶ The Farmingville Residents Association will host flea markets on June 25, Aug. 27 and Sept. 24 on the lawn of Pat’s Tattoos, 22 Granny Road, Farmingville from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Rain dates are the following Sundays.)

I’ve noticed that you often have the sun or moon in your paintings. What is the significance?

I believe that art is nature reborn through the free consciousness of the human spirit. Artists create a new world for people to enter. Art is the visual expression of that infinitely evolving human spirit which is why each generation has to create their own vision of art.

▶ St. Thomas of Canterbury Episcopal Church, 90 Edgewater Ave., Smithtown is seeking craft, merchandise and yard sale vendors for its annual Strawberry Festival & Craft Fair on June 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

— Terence neTTer most of my painting. There I was inspired to paint the French Perspectives series and others that express “emotions recollected in tranquility.” My paintings have been described as capturing that special light and perfumed air of the Loire Valley.

In Setauket, I am exhibiting my selected works at Gallery North (90 North Country Road, Setauket) until June 17 and in New York City I am represented by the Woodward Gallery. I am especially honored to be in many museums and private collections in the States and in Europe.

What do you want the viewer to feel or see when they view your paintings?

I want the viewer’s mind and eye to take a walk beyond the here and now.

I hope that they experience that there is more beyond the horizon — the possibility of existence beyond the reach of our senses, even though we can’t see it. Most of all, I wish that they sense the deep peace that I am trying to evoke in my paintings.

rhubarb Pie

Rhubarb ... the unsung hero of the spring garden Rhubarb. You either like it or you don’t.

Or you never liked it when you were a kid, but now you do. Or maybe you’ve never even had it. But here it is growing and appearing in gardens or produce departments as another harbinger of spring into summer. It can be eaten raw or cooked, in a dessert, sauce, salsa or chutney; but it does require sugar as on its own it is very sour. And just remember: It’s the stalks you eat, not the leaves. They’re poisonous.

Most people think of rhubarb as strawberry’s other half. That’s probably because strawberries and rhubarb ripen pretty much simultaneously and do complement each other. There are lots of strawberry festivals going on and next week I will write about them. But for now, let’s just talk about rhubarb, for which there are no festivals that I know of. What a shame.

Rhubarb Pie YIELD: Makes 8 servings INGREDIENTS: • Two 9-inch or larger pie crusts, preferably homemade • 5 cups washed, trimmed and sliced rhubarb • 1¼ cups sugar • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour • Dash of nutmeg • Dash of cinnamon • Pinch of salt • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter DIRECTIONS:

Rhubarb Crumble

By BarBara Beltrami

Preheat oven to 450 F. Roll out one pie crust to a few inches larger than the bottom of the pie plate and drape the excess over the rim. In a large bowl, make the filling by mixing the rhubarb, sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Spread filling evenly over crust, dot with butter. Roll out the top crust the same way and place evenly over filling.

Wet your fingers with ice water, then fold and press edges together on top of rim, and with a small pointed knife, make a few slits in the crust. Bake 15 minutes at 450 F, then another 20 to 25 minutes at 350 F. Pie is ready when crust is golden and some juice bubbles through slits. Serve with vanilla ice cream, sweetened whipped cream or crème fraiche.

YIELD: Makes 4 to 6 servings INGREDIENTS: For the topping: • • • • • •

1 cup flour 1/3 cup oats (not quick cooking) ¾ cup sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt 2/3 stick of unsalted butter, melted 1/2 cup chopped almonds For the rhubarb mixture:

• Butter for greasing baking dish • 2½–3 pounds rhubarb, washed, trimmed and cut into one-inch pieces (you should end up with about 2 pounds or 8 cups,) • 1/3 cup sugar • ¼ cup flour • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • ¼ teaspoon salt DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 375 F. Generously grease an 8-inch by 8-inch ceramic or glass baking dish. For the topping, in a medium bowl combine the flour, oats, sugar, salt, melted butter and almonds. Refrigerate one hour or until ready to use.

For the rhubarb mixture, in a large bowl thoroughly combine the rhubarb, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour into baking dish. Sprinkle topping evenly over mixture and bake about 45 minutes or until top is golden and slightly crispy and filling is bubbly. Serve warm with vanilla or strawberry ice cream or whipped cream.

Rhubarb Sauce YIELD: Makes 2 to 4 servings INGREDIENTS: • 1 pound rhubarb, washed, trimmed and cut into one-inch pieces • 1/3–1/2 cup sugar or to taste DIRECTIONS: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cook rhubarb and sugar together, stirring occasionally, until they reach a mushy but thick consistency, about 20 to 30 minutes.

(Rhubarb will release a lot of water, but you can add about ¼ cup of water to start, if you wish.) That’s it! Serve on vanilla ice cream.

Growing true lilies in the garden

Under ideal conditions, asiatic lilies can grow to about six feet tall.

Easter lilies are hardy in zones 7 to 9.

As a result, you may find that your holiday plant will not survive in your garden if there is an unusually cold winter or if you have not heavily mulched the bed where they are growing over winter. Be careful with Easter lilies as they are toxic to cats.

• Tiger lily (L. lancefolium also known as L. tigrinum) is one of several lilies known collectively as tiger lilies and are natives of Asia, known for their showy orange flowers. Bulblets can form along the stem at the leaf axis and can be used to propagate these plants.

• Asiatic lilies (L. asiatica) tend to bloom earlier than Oriental lilies. They come in many colors and sizes ranging from just about a foot tall to about six feet tall.

• Oriental lilies (L. oriental) bloom in mid to late summer and can grow quite tall, some almost eight feet tall. Flowers tend to be white, pink, red or bicolored.

• Dwarf Oriental lilies are as their name implies quite small, some that can easily be grown in containers. They are hardy in zones 5 through 9, so yes, you can comfortably grow them on Long Island.

Next week we’ll take a look at daylilies.

This is the second article in a three-part series.

Last week we looked at a number of plants that have the word “lily” in their names but aren’t true lilies. Now, let’s take a look at true lilies.

What botanically is a lily? According to the North American Lily Society (www.lilies.org), “The bulb is the most distinguishing characteristic. It is composed of fleshy scales without a protective outer coating.

A true lily is never dormant … it must be considered and treated as a living perennial plant. … Lily flowers, though completely varied in size, shape and color, always have six tepals and six anthers.” The society also comments on the fact that lilies are very fragrant flowers and have leaves on the same stem as the flowers.

There are over 100 species in the genius Lilium. Check the variety you are considering because the cultural requirements are not necessarily the same across the board. In general, lily bulbs are planted in fall since they need a cold winter to thrive.

Like daffodils, if they are planted in the deep south, they need to be refrigerated first before planting.

Lilies need a fair amount of sunshine to thrive and do best in a moist but welldrained soil. They do well in an acidic soil, down as low as a pH of 5.5 but do tolerate a higher pH. Remove spent flowers but take no more than one-third of the stem since it’s filled with the leaves, which are helping the plant grow.

Always check the package tag, but in general, lilies need to be planted deeply as they grow very tall. Since once planted, lilies will return year after year, you need to periodically apply fertilizer. I prefer natural fertilizers like compost, compost tea or fish emulsion, but the choice is yours. With Long Island’s generally sandy soil, make sure you add compost when planting them.

• Easter lily (Lilium longiflorum) is a scented native of the Ryukyu Islands. The white Easter lily is sold throughout the United States, usually for the holiday.

COVER STORY

S

Port Jefferson gears up for Green Fest 2017

triving to be more environmentally conscious, the Greater Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce invites the community to join them on Saturday, June 17, for its 9th annual Green Fest.

This festival will draw in hundreds from all over Long Island who want to become more environmentally conscious.

Held at the Port Jefferson Village Center at 101A East Broadway and the neighboring Mayor Jeanne Garant Harborfront Park’s Great Lawn from 1 to 5 p.m., this thematic event reflects a world that gives you the ability to make “green” choices in your daily lives. The festival concentrates on educating, informing, entertaining and enlightening people on how to live a “greener” lifestyle.

This year come check out the “water buffalo” sponsored by the Suffolk County Water Authority. This portable water truck will be filled with hundreds of gallons of water for all attendees to fill up their own water bottles with fresh clean water. This helps the environment by reducing plastic bottles going into our landfills. So bring your containers and have a drink on us!

Entertainment will again be engaging and fun this year. The Ripple Effect Spiritual Therapy Drum Circle will be bringing 13 drums with shakers and rattles to compliment the other percussions. These hand drums are placed in a circle and volunteers are asked to “perform” in an improvisational manner as a gathered group. Drop-ins are welcomed, so come and play with us.

At 1 p.m. the local and very popular singer/songwriters, the Como Brothers, will be performing their heartfelt lyrics and harmonies on the Great Lawn. Their style of songwriting draws from pop, rock and blues originating from a love for acts such as the Beatles.

If you are not feeling musical, join It Takes a Village Wellness yoga instructor and owner Diane McDonald at 2 and 2:40 p.m. for some green yoga right on the front lawn of the PJ Village Center; mats will be provided.

Chachis

Aren’t they precious? One is more adorable than the next. It’s hard to believe that all of these precious fur babies were scheduled to be euthanized at a high-kill animal shelter in Texas just a week ago. They all seem to have the same thing in common — sad eyes. Now that Kent Animal Shelter has stepped in to save them, they’ve been given a second chance to grow old with a family that will love them. Will that be you? All dogs comes neutered, microchipped and up to date on all their vaccines.

Kent Animal Shelter is located at 2259 River Road in Calverton. For more information on this group and other adoptable pets at Kent, please call 631-727-5731 or visit www.kentanimalshelter.com. And remember, adopt, don’t shop!

SBU’s National Cancer Survivors Day celebrates life

Indoor Labyrinth Walk

Top left, Dr. Yusuf Hannun opens the event (photo by Heidi Sutton); top right, Dr. Jennifer Arnold leads the Parade of Survivors (photo

BY HEIDI SUTTON On Sunday, June 4, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in various locations across the country for National Cancer Survivors Day, a celebration of life for anyone who has been touched by cancer. Locally, the Stony Brook Cancer Center hosted its 13th annual event, made possible by sponsorship from the Stony Brook School of Medicine and Stony Brook University.

The weather cooperated as attendees participated in a variety of outdoor activities, such as the popular dunk-a-doc, bedpan golf, chemo bag toss and face painting, as well as musical entertainment. The day culminated with the Parade of Survivors to the tune of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”

“There is really no activity that I look forward to more every year than what we are doing here today, to celebrate you and

to celebrate survivorship,” said Dr. Yusuf Hannun, director of the Stony Brook Cancer Center, to a crowd of survivors, doctors, nurses, family members and friends.

“Looking around ... I am really humbled to see how this event has been growing exponentially, from very modest beginnings of a handful of dedicated volunteers and determined survivors, to today with over 1,300 [attendees], 300 of them survivors,” he said.

Hannun also took the opportunity to speak about the new 245,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art Medical and Research Translation (MART) building, which served as the backdrop to the event and is scheduled to open by the end of this year. The director stated the new facility “will allow us to serve twice as many patients and their families … and allow us to continue to push back against cancer at all times. We are very excited to move into that building.”

The keynote speaker of the day was Dr. Jennifer Arnold, who is featured on TLC’s docudrama, “The Little Couple” along with her husband, Bill, who is originally from Port Jefferson Station, and their beautiful children, Will and Zoey.

The show has served as an invaluable way to break down barriers and educate the public about people with disabilities.

Standing at just 3 feet and 2 inches, Arnold was born with a rare type of dwarfism called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, Strudwick type and has undergone over 30 surgeries in her lifetime. In 2013 she was diagnosed with stage 3 choriocarcinoma, a rare cancer that developed after a nonviable pregnancy. She graciously chose to share her fight with viewers of her show.

Now a three-year cancer survivor, Arnold shared her journey and personal lessons learned at Sunday’s event with a dynamic, motivational and inspirational presentation titled Surviving with Grace and received several standing ovations.

“Although I had a lot of life lessons [growing up], nothing taught me more than going through cancer,” said Arnold. “Sometimes life throws a wrench into the middle of your world and you have to be ready for that because life is short, no pun intended.”

“Going through chemotherapy changes you a lot, physically, emotionally, mentally…,” she said. After chemo, “I didn’t go back to normal, but I did go back to life.

Truly it takes a village to go through your treatment and survivorship. It’s okay to accept that help.”

Arnold continued, “This is a wonderful life that we have and I am so blessed to be alive and to be able to share my story and I know that many of you in the audience feel the same way. ... Whether it’s the fact that you’ve undergone treatment for cancer or whether you’ve had other obstacles in life, I hope that you too can overcome those obstacles and that you can survive with grace.”

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 380 Nicolls Road, E. Setauket will host an indoor labyrinth walk on Tuesday, June 13 at 8 p.m. Accompanying the walk with soft music will be harpist Caroline Popielaski. A labyrinth walk is like a walking meditation during which people set an intention. Your intention could be to de-stress, pray, problem solve, spur creativity or express gratitude. Your intention is your own. Certified labyrinth facilitator, Linda Mikell, will lead the walk and explain the best way to experience it. An outdoor labyrinth will be available as well if the weather permits. Free will donation. For more information, call 631-543-0337.

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

CSHL’s Joshua-Tor receives double honors from academies

Horoscopes for the second week of June GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Things that have been on your mind come right out without a thought, Gemini. Your honesty is commendable, but you may need to self-censor some things.

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF Like many of the other talented and driven professionals at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Leemor Joshua-Tor often works far from the kind of spotlight that follows well-known actors or authors.

That changed in April and early May. First, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences elected her a member on April 11. Other members joining the academy this year include Carol Burnett, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, actor Ian McKellen, who played Gandalf in the Hobbit films and Magneto in the X-Men movies, and Israeli writer David Grossman.

Then, on May 2, the National Science Foundation elected the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory professor and Howard Hughes medical investigator to join its ranks.

“I got a huge amount of congratulatory emails from many friends, some of which I haven’t been in touch with for a while,” Joshua-Tor said. “It’s humbling.”

Joshua-Tor’s research covers a range of areas in structural and molecular biology. She works with RNA interference, where she focuses on how small molecules regulate gene expression or translation. She has also worked with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory President Bruce Stillman on the early stages of DNA replication.

Early this year, Joshua-Tor and Stillman published a paper in eLife Sciences in which they offered more details about the human origin recognition complex.

Stillman suggested that Joshua-Tor was the “main driver” for the research, studying the structure of a protein he had isolated years ago. “I am not a structural biologist, but she is an outstanding one and together, we came up with a very satisfying result.”

The origin recognition complex begins the process of replication, recruiting a helicase, which unwinds DNA. It also brings in regulatory factors that ensure smooth timing and then other factors such as polymerase and a clamp that keeps the pro-

cess flowing and ensures accurate copying of the genetic code.

“We don’t know how ORC’s motor activity is used,” JoshuaTor explained. “We don’t really know what it is on the DNA that the ORC likes to bind to.”

In the recent work, the scientists explored the ORC’s structure and tinkered with it biochemically to understand it.

The ORC binds and hydrolyzes the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, in the same way a motor would, although it probably isn’t continuous. “It might use ATP hydrolysis to perform one sort of movement, perhaps a detachment,” Joshua-Tor suggested.

In the early stages of replication, ATP is necessary for the integrity of the ORC complex, as well as the helicase that gets recruited.

“We knew from biochemistry that ORC bounds multiple ATP molecules, but we did not know precisely how,” Stillman explained in an email. “The structure told us. ORC does not open the DNA by itself, but loads a protein complex onto the DNA that, when activated, can open the DNA.” Stillman is working on that process now.

The next step for the CSHL collaborators is to get a structure of human ORC bound to DNA. In their recent work, the researchers characterized how mutations involved in ATP hydrolysis affect a condition called Meier-Gorlin syndrome.

Of the mutations they characterized, one affects the ability to hydrolyze ATP. Patients with this syndrome have one copy of the gene with typical function and the other that doesn’t. This likely leaves the patient with half of the molecules to do the required job.

The misregulation of replication is often associated with cancer and is something Joshua-Tor and others consider when they conduct these studies.

ATP, meanwhile, is associated with all kinds of activities, including cell adhesion and taking down misfolded proteins. Many processes in the

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, a casual comment by a friend sets off a powder keg of ideas in your mind. This is the inspiration you have been waiting for, and now you can’t wait to get busy.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, others can’t read your mind, so if something is bugging you, then let them know. Doing so will help you collectively develop a solution that much faster.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, keep your mind open to all the possibilities this week. You may be surprised at what you can accomplish if you maintain a willingness to try new things.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, you don’t need any extra encouragement to go after what you want. You are quite motivated at the moment, putting a lot of possibilities within reach.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

If you want a particular relationship to thrive, then you have to work together with a partner, Scorpio. No one is out for herself or himself in this situation.

Leemor Joshua-Tor cell connect to these types of molecular machines.

In her research with RNA interference, she is studying how a microRNA called Let7 is produced. Let7 is involved in development. Before cells differentiate when they are stem cells, they make Let7 continuously and then destroy it. She is studying the pathway for this process.

Let7 is absent from stem cells and in some cancers.

Interested in science and theater when she was young, Joshua-Tor grew up in Israel, where she participated in activities at the Weizmann Institute of Science. The institute has biology, biochemistry, chemistry, math, computer science and physics, as well as an archeology unit that didn’t exist when she was there.

Later, when she was a graduate student, Joshua-Tor returned to the institute and became an instructor.

An important moment in her scientific development occurred when she was in seventh grade.

She was learning about elements and she put each one on a card.

She brought these cards to class to study them.

Her mother gave her a container that had housed her perfumes, which created a positive association for chemistry every time she studied the elements.

Joshua-Tor was also interested in theater, where she was initially in shows and then became an assistant director.

The researcher lives with her daughter Avery, who is 8 and attends the Jack Abrams Magnet School. The tandem have a Schnauzer named Charles Darwin. Her daughter is proud of her mother and tells “anyone that would listen” about the awards her mother recently won, Joshua-Tor said.

Joshua-Tor, whose lab now has 11 people, said she is excited for the opportunity to meet some of her fellow honorees this fall.

Stillman expressed pride in “all our scientists and especially when they make major discoveries and they receive such peer recognition,” he wrote in an email. Joshua-Tor is “one of our best, but we have many scientists who will go on to gain substantial peer recognition.

This is her turn, at least for these two awards!”

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Your social life is about to heat up, Sagittarius. You might find your calendar going from empty to chock full in just a few days. Pace yourself to avoid burnout.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, while it is important to take care of others, you shouldn’t do so at the expense of your own health and happiness. Give yourself a break this week.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Don’t be afraid to take the next big step in your love life, Aquarius. Your partner may be feeling the same way. Communication is key in this situation.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, your emotions may have been all over the place the last few days, but you will be able to reel them in soon. Enjoy the respite.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, when your mischievous side comes out to play, others better watch out. You certainly can be a force … a very fun force. Just don’t let things get out of control.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Other people around you seem to be the epitome of positivity, but you just may not be able to muster the same level of giddiness, Taurus. That’s okay, as this is just a phase.
