COVER STORY

Artistry: The Horse in Art opens at the Reboli Center

BY MELISSA ARNOLD Horses, whether ridden, raced, bred or simply beloved, have long been a part of Long Island’s culture. From the Belmont Stakes in Nassau to the Smithtown Hunt and the Old Field Farm in Suffolk, the majestic animals hold a special place in the hearts of many.

Among them was the late artist Joe Reboli, whose 30-year career was defined by bringing both famous places and ordinary views of the Three Village area to life with great care and realism.

The Reboli Center for Art and History in Stony Brook was founded in 2016 to celebrate Reboli’s life and honor the history of the place he called home. Since then, the center has created a number of exhibits blending Reboli’s work with local artists as well as artifacts from Long Island’s past.

On Tuesday, the center opened an exciting new exhibit, Artistry: The Horse in Art, which will focus on horses and their environment through a variety of mediums. Among the Reboli works in the exhibit is “The Stable Door,” an oil-oncanvas painting.

“Joe had a way of capturing this community that evoked such wonderful feelings from people,” said Reboli Center co-founder Colleen Hanson. “His painting of a stable door in our exhibit was done for [the late publisher] John McKinney. Joe’s ability to paint white was just astounding — there is more to the color white than many people realize; there are so many shades and hues in it and he captured them all.”

In addition to work from Reboli, the exhibit will highlight three other main artists.

Roberto Dutesco, a Romanian-born Canadian artist, is well known for his fashion photography. But in 1994, Dutesco began to explore nature photography with a trip to Sable Island, nearly 200 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia. There he photographed the island’s breathtaking wild horses. He has returned to the island six times since then with the goal of inspiring greater conservation efforts through his work.

Dino Rinaldi is a Port Jefferson native whose winding career has taken him from illustration to advertising and finally painting full time. As a teen, Rinaldi recalls opening up an issue of the local newspaper and seeing a painting of gasoline pumps by Reboli.

“I looked at it and thought, someday I want to be able to paint like that. It moved me,” said Rinaldi, who now lives in Setauket with his wife and daughter. “To be able to create art for a living is a dream come true.”

Keep an eye out for “Zidette,” Rinaldi’s graphite powder-and-pencil drawing.

Elena Hull Cournot, who originally hails from East Setauket, now provides creative arts therapy in the West Village and owns a studio in Brooklyn. Horses are a mainstay of Cournot’s work, who is known for her large commissioned paintings of horses

Images courtesy of Reboli Center

and soulful works created during her time as an artist in residence at the Burren College of Art in Ireland. Like storytellers who seek to capture the personal essence of their subjects, Cournot strives to spend time with each horse she paints. One of those horses was “Indie,” whose oil-on-canvas portrait is featured in the gallery.

The center’s history gallery will focus on events and places that include horses in a prominent role. The Smithtown Hunt is the only surviving foxhound hunt on Long Island. While it was originally a live hunt when it was first held in 1900, it is now exclusively a drag hunt. The Old Field Farm was built by Ward Melville in 1931 and continues to be a hot spot for the equestrian community.

Clockwise from top, Roberto Dutesco stands next to ‘Love’; ‘Zidette’ by Dino Rinaldi; Rinaldi; Elena Hull Cournot; and Cournot’s painting ‘Indie’ “Every year, we sit down and talk about what kind of exhibits we’d like to have. We look at different community events that are going on, and then work to determine the artists we might feature and a theme based around that,” Hanson explained.

“This is such an interesting and fun show — there are so many people who love horses and have owned or ridden them at some point. They are beautiful, intelligent creatures that have a wide appeal.”

Hanson also joked that her own history was a factor in the decision. In the decade she spent as the director of Gallery North in Setauket, not a single exhibit featured a horse. Thanks to this exhibit, she’s now hung more than 30 horse paintings, drawings and photos.

The center will hold several special free events during the exhibit’s run, each coinciding with Third Friday activities in the area. Dino Rinaldi and Roberto Dutesco will be at the center Aug. 17; Leighton Coleman, Sally Lynch and Edmunde Stewart will be welcomed on Sept. 21; and on

Oct. 19 there will be a screening of the documentary “Snowman,” which tells the story of a simple workhorse saved from the slaughterhouse by a Long Island man.

Snowman went on to become a national show jumping champion.

See Artistry: The Horse in Art through Oct. 28 at the Reboli Center for Art and History, 64 Main St., Stony Brook. Admission is free. For information, call 631-7517707 or visit www.rebolicenter.org.

The 23rd annual Stony Brook Film Festival wrapped up with a Closing Night Awards Reception on July 28. The evening recognized the outstanding new independent films screened at the festival, which was held at the Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University from July 19 to 28.

“The Etruscan Smile,” featuring acclaimed actor Brian Cox in the lead role, won the Grand Prize. The sold-out U.S. Premiere was screened on July 21 with Brian Cox, Thora Birch and Sandra Santiago attending and hosting a Q&A. Alan Inkles, founder and director of the Stony Brook Film Festival announced additional awards at the reception. “We received so many enthusiastic responses from our astute audience members over the ten days of the festival,” he said. “‘The Etruscan Smile’ was hailed as a favorite. I was fortunate to have Brian Cox reach out to us just as we were finishing our schedule. He had been to the Stony Brook Film Festival for his film ‘The Carer’ and was keen on having the U.S. Premiere of ‘The Etruscan Smile’ at Stony Brook.”

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.

Staying hydrated in the heat of summer

NEWS AROUND TOWN

Dehydration’s effects can range from headaches to heart attacks Dehydration is a topic that is often overlooked or is given only cursory thought, but it’s very important. Dehydration is simple to avoid, right? Not necessarily. We may be dehydrated prior to experiencing symptoms of thirst. With this summer’s hottest days right around the corner, this seems an appropriate topic.

Even air conditioning can have a dehydrating effect.

Complications and symptoms of dehydration can be

For more information call 631-751-0297.

Effect on headaches and migraines

Temperature is a potential trigger for headaches and migraine. As the temperature rises by intervals of 9 degrees, the risk for headache and migraines increases by 8 percent (1). This study involved 7,054 participants from one emergency room site. Warmer temperatures can potentially reduce blood volume in the body, causing dilation of the arteries, resulting in higher risk of headaches and migraines.

In another study, those who drank four cups more water had significantly fewer hours of migraine pain than those who drank less (2). Headache intensity decreased as well. Anecdotally, I had a patient who experienced a potentially dehydration-induced migraine after playing sports in the sweltering heat of Florida. He had the classic aura and was treated with hydration, Tylenol and caffeine, which helped avoid much of the suffering.

The impact on heart palpitations

Heart palpitations are very common and are broadly felt as a racing heart rate, skipped beat, pounding sensation or fluttering. Dehydration and exercise are contributing factors (3). They occur mainly when we don’t hydrate prior to exercise.

All we need to do is drink one glass of water prior to exercise and then drink during exercise to avoid palpitations. Though these are not usually life-threatening, they are anxiety producing for patients.

Heart attacks

The Adventist Health Study, an observational study, showed a dose-response curve for men (4). In other words, group 1, which drank more than five glasses of water daily, had the least risk of death from heart disease than group 2, which drank more than three glasses of water daily.

Those in group 3, which drank less than two glasses per day, saw the least amount of benefit, comparatively. For women, there was no difference between groups 1 and 2; both fared better than group 3.

The reason for this effect, according to the authors, may relate to blood or plasma viscosity (thickness) and fibrinogen (a substance that helps clots form).

DRINK UP As the mercury rises this summer, you’ll need to pay close attention to one important aspect of your health: your hydration.

Mood and energy levels

In a study, mild dehydration resulted in decreased concentration, subdued mood, fatigue and headaches in women (5). In this small study the mean age of participants was 23, and they were neither athletes nor highly sedentary.

Dehydration was caused by walking on a treadmill with or without taking a diuretic (water pill) prior to the exercise.

The authors concluded that adequate hydration was needed, especially during and after exercise.

I would also suggest, from my practice experience, hydration prior to exercise.

Different ways to remain hydrated Now we realize we need to stay hydrated, but how do we go about this? How much water we need to drink depends on circumstances, such as diet, activity levels, environment and other factors. It is not true necessarily that we all should be drinking eight glasses of water a day. In a review article, the authors analyzed the data, but did not find adequate studies to suggest that eight glasses is supported in the literature (6). It may actually be too much for some patients.

You may also get a significant amount of water from the foods in your diet. Nutrient-dense diets, like Mediterranean or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), have a plant-rich focus. A study mentions that diets with a focus on fruits and vegetables increases water consumption (7). As you may know, 95 percent of their weights are attributed to water. An added benefit is an increased satiety level without eating calorically dense foods.

The myth: Coffee is dehydrating

In a review, it was suggested that caffeinated coffee and tea don’t increase the risk of dehydration, even though caffeine is a mild diuretic (8). With moderate amounts of caffeine, the liquid has a more hydrating effect than its diuretic effect.

Thus, it is important to stay hydrated to avoid complications — some are serious, but all are uncomfortable. Diet is a great way to ensure that you get the triple effect of high amount of nutrients, increased hydration and sense of feeling satiated without calorie-dense foods. However, don’t go overboard with water consumption, especially if you have congestive heart failure or open-angle glaucoma (9).

Museum Collections & Exhibits Manager Elizabeth Marriott explores archival files for exhibit research. Photo from Whaling Museum In honor of the centennial of women’s suffrage in New York, The Whaling Museum of Cold Spring Harbor is opening a special exhibit, Heroines at the Helm, which explores the fascinating and little-known experiences of whaling wives who broke social bounds in a male-defined world.

Historically, whaling was one of Long Island’s most important commercial industries. The male-dominated whaling industry relied on family members to manage life ashore during men’s long absences.

Women who remained home suddenly found themselves as lone masters of their households. They maintained their families as single parents, took care of elderly parents, paid the bills, tended to farming and waited with wifely devotion. Some women became entrepreneurs by running inns, becoming teachers or serving as midwives.

As time went on, some women found themselves incapable of enduring the years of separation anymore. A number of captain’s wives broke boundaries by deciding to do what no woman had done before: join their husbands at sea, enduring harsh conditions for companionship.

One of these wives was Mary Brewster who sailed on the whaleship Tiger with her husband, William, from Connecticut in 1845. Her foster mother disowned her for sailing. Despite her constant seasickness, Mary never regretted her decision and inspired other whaling wives to sail. By the 1850s, one out of six whaleships carried the captain’s wife aboard.

‘The remarkable mental and physical endurance [whaling wives] showed ... offer inspiration to our lives today. Helping to arrange this exhibit was humbling.’

Visitors will be invited to cast their votes in response to choices women faced at sea, such as would they leave their children at home with relatives or travel as a family?

Visitors will also view Victorian-era and contemporary silhouettes and create their own silhouette craft to take home.

“Whaling wives became trailblazers by necessity,” explained Executive Director Nomi Dayan. “The remarkable mental and physical endurance that they showed in spite of the many circumstances they endured — illness, seasickness, storms, mutinies, dangerous whaling grounds, long stretches of boredom, not to mention cramped, filthy conditions — offer inspiration to our lives today. Helping to arrange this exhibit was humbling.”

The exhibit, which is supported by funds from Humanities New York, Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning and private contributions, will open on Sept. 22 and remain on view through Labor Day 2019.

In celebration of the new display, the public is invited to a family-friendly special event, SeaFaire, on Saturday, Sept. 29 from 11 to 2 p.m. Visitors will partake in creating seaworthy crafts, view demonstrations and hear live sea shanties. Other associated programming will take place throughout the 2018–19 season.

The Whaling Museum & Education Center is located at 301 Main St., Cold Spring Harbor. Summer hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information, call 631-3673418 or visit www.cshwhalingmuseum.org.

This special exhibit will illuminate these wives’ experiences by featuring women’s utilitarian, costume and decorative pieces, as well as photographs and portraits.

Through first-person accounts lifted from women’s letters and journals, visitors will explore what life was like for these women at sea, including where they gave birth, what they ate for dinner, how they looked after their children, how they celebrated holidays and how they passed the time.

Alongside these artifacts, contemporary artwork by two Long Island female artists who challenged traditional artistic boundaries will be featured, including Bastienne Schmidt and Esphyr Slobodkina (1908–2002), as well as Arizona-based artist Angela Ellsworth.

My, my, how could you resist seeing “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again”? After a 10-year hiatus, the original cast returns to the Greek island of Kalokairi for the grand opening of the Hotel Belladonna. The sequel again showcases the upbeat and fun-filled music of the 1970s pop group, ABBA. With similar themes to the first (love, family, adventure), this movie is sure to be a huge summer hit.

Written and directed by Ol Parker, the PG-13 movie, which is loosely based on a lesser-known 1968 Italian film, “Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell,” opens on Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) getting ready for the opening party for the Hotel Belladonna, named after her late mother Donna Sheridan (Meryl Streep), with help from her stepfather Sam (Pierce Brosnan) and hotel manager Fernando Cienfuegos (Andy Garcia). Sophie gave up her life of traveling to manage the hotel, in hopes of making her mother proud. Tanya (Christine Baranski) and Rosie (Julie Walters), childhood best friends of Donna, arrive to help Sophie with preparations and begin telling her stories of Donna’s wild past.

The flashbacks begin with a young Donna Sheridan (Lily James) walking in late to her college graduation, her floor-length graduation gown failing to hide her gold go-go boots. The headmistress of the college calls her up on stage to give her valedictorian speech, but instead, in true dynamo fashion, she breaks into song and invites her backup girls, young Tanya (Jessica Keenan Wynn) and young Rosie (Alexa Davies), to perform ABBA’s hit song “When I Kissed the Teacher.”

The film constantly flip flops between past and present, following Donna on the adventure of her lifetime and Sophie in the most stressful time in hers. In present time, a huge storm destroys the decorations and flowers, devastating Sophie and all those involved with the party. The storm also stops the ferries from running, keeping Sophie’s dads, Harry (Colin Firth) and Bill (Stellan Skarsgård), and her husband, Sky (Dominic Cooper), from being able to reach the island.

Going back in time, Donna is traveling the world to find herself, and along the way we see how she met Harry Bright (Hugh Skinner), Bill Anderson (Josh Dylan) and Sam Carmichael (Jeremy Irvine) along the way.

If you’ve seen the original “Mamma Mia!” then you know what comes next. Donna gets pregnant while in Kalokairi, is given the old farmhouse to live in and fix up, and decides

to stay on the island to raise her baby despite having no one. She doesn’t know who the father is, but doesn’t care. In parallel, Sophie finds out she is pregnant at the same age and in the same place as her mother was.

Sophie begins to lose hope of being able to open the hotel successfully but is saved by Sky, Bill and Harry, who convince a group of fishermen to bring their friends and family to Kalokairi. Three boats pull into the docks, full of people ready to enjoy the Hotel Belladonna’s opening night.

Toward the end of the movie there is a twist that no one sees coming, including Sophie’s grandmother (Cher) arriving in a private helicopter and crashing the party.

She announces she is ready to take on the role of being a grandmother, and now great-grandmother.

As the party ends, the film jumps ahead in time, following Sophie up the path leading to the church where her child will be baptized. At the same time, young Donna is doing the same walk on her way to baptize Sophie. When they both reach the front of the church, young Donna transforms into her older self and sings a haunting duet with her daughter. There wasn’t a dry eye in the theater as Sophie held her mother’s hands for the last time.

Throughout the film, the audience is drawn in by the dramatic themes laced with comedic moments and the romances blooming between the characters. There is passion and fun, as well as somber moments of heartbreak. Each character is well developed and well received, and the younger versions of the main characters shine with the same awkward, funny and sweet personalities of their older counterparts.

There are some scenes where Lily James mimics the mannerisms of Meryl Streep’s Donna so well you would think is was Streep in disguise. Young Tanya and Rosie capture the aspects of the friendship so well you would think they had known each other for decades.

Of course, it is the exciting musical numbers featuring many well-known ABBA hits from the original movie including “Waterloo,” “The Name of the Game” and “Dancing Queen” along with more obscure songs (“Kisses of Fire”) from the Swedish pop group that tie it all together for two hours of good fun.

With spot on casting, along with the great costumes and beautiful filming locations, “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” is a must see for this summer.

When I was a little kid, there were three elderly women, Harriet, Tess and Bea, friends of my grandmother, who shared a beach bungalow on some little island off the Connecticut coast. Each summer we would pack the car and make our annual pilgrimage to visit them.

It always seemed there was so much to do there. They would send us on scavenger hunts for prizes from the dime store or foraging for beach glass. We fished, dug clams, husked corn and ate cucumbers and tomatoes from their garden and helped them make jam from the wild berries along the road. We baked cakes and cookies and pies and played cards and checkers and Monopoly on the porch.

But best of all were the picnics, the highlights of our time there. Harriet insisted there was only one menu for any real picnic, and it could not be altered or amended. Her fried chicken took center stage while Tess’ potato salad sat in a Pyrex bowl right beside it along with Bea’s deviled eggs. Sliced tomatoes were obligatory as were iced tea and lemonade and, of course, watermelon. They would never share their recipes, but I think these are pretty good approximations.

BOOK REVIEW

‘A Long Island Story’

By Rick Gekoski

Novel Reviewed by Jeffrey Sanzel “Even when her morning started at a reasonable hour her first waking utterance was a groan, followed by a shuddering series of stretches and a string of torporous obscenities. The onset of day surprised her; she resented the imperative to consciousness, as if she had the right to sleep forever, like the dead.”

From these first lines of Rick Gekoski’s “A Long Island Story,” we enter an unsettled and unsettling America.

This artful and intriguing novel looks back to an earlier time but eschews the nostalgic for something far more meaningful. Set in the 1953 periphery of the Red Scare, it chronicles the lives of Ben and Addie Grossman, past and present, as well as those of their two young children, Addie’s parents, Addie’s brother and sister-in-law, as well as several of the people in the Grossmans orbit.

Ben, a somewhat conflicted communist (not sufficiently elevated to be brought before the Above photo by Martin Crook House Un-American Activities Above, author Rick Gekoski; right, the cover of Committee but still under surveil- Gekoski’s latest book lance), is leaving his Washington, D.C., job before his most likely There is nothing idyllic in this view of dismissal.

East Coast, buffeting. The end of sleep of The entire story is appropriately told in peace, and happiness.” the fug of endless cigarettes. The prevailing

humidity infects every corner of the saga.

It is a summer where “nothing looked or sounded right.” Images of pollution, a sense of dread and unrest, paralyzing anxiety in the age of Miltown, contribute to this unflinching deconstruction of the era. Beneath a superficial yet brittle exterior lies morally complicated chaos.

Gekoski delves richly and smoothly in and out of each character’s struggles and ambiguities. Calling their parents by their first names, Jacob and Rebecca have learned to manipulate their parents and grandparents, all by example, and yet there is great pain in these children as well; this is one of the more complex and detailed portrayals of children in fiction.

Addie’s father Maurice, the charming caretaker, is a fashion bootlegger with questionable financial connections. Even matriarch Perle, who should be the portrait of the doting Jewish grandmother, is steel beneath a placid surface, humorless and brutally judgmental.

Pastoral Long Island is presented harshly: “Now, within commuting distance to the city, it was sprawling suburbs, growing relentlessly as a wart, and as unsightly.” D.C. is “the glorious playground of hypocrites and bloated capitalists.”

But, amid all of the cynicism, there is a poignancy that continually comes through, particularly in a moment of clarity when Addie explains to the children that they

must leave Washington. It is a gentle scene — honest, frank and wholly real.

Perhaps this is the heart of the work: that it all rings true.

Gekoski writes with great skill (Philip Roth comes to mind) using language as a scalpel: “She didn’t drive, she was driven.

Crazy.” He transcends clever to a deeper truth that splits open the hypocrisy of a dangerous time. Ultimately, the Grossmans all must “move in, move on.”

“A Long Island Story” is an engrossing, emotionally challenging work, one that will stay with you long after you have closed its pages.

“A Long Island Story” (Canongate Publishers) is Rick Gekoski’s follow-up to his critically acclaimed novel, “Darke,” and is available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

A graduate of Huntington High School, Gekoski has lived in England since 1966. In a press release for his latest book he writes, “I have wanted to write about this period in my childhood for almost fifty years, but didn’t know how to do it, quite. I tried it as a memoir, but it felt lifeless. It was only when I realised that the best way to recover the truth of that time was in a work of fiction, that I could get the words to stick to the paper.”

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

SBU’s Peter Tonge studies how light changes proteins

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

The journey begins at one point and ends at another.

What’s unclear, however, is the process that led from beginning to end.

That’s where Peter Tonge, a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Radiology at Stony Brook University’s School of Medicine, recently discovered important details.

Working with a protein called dronpa, Tonge wanted to know how the protein changed configurations as it reacted to light.

There was more than one theory on how this process worked, Tonge said. “Our studies validated one of the previous hypotheses,” he said. Structural changes occur on different time scales. With a team of collaborators, Tonge was able to follow the photoreaction from absorption to the final activated form of the photoreceptor.

The technique Tonge used is called infrared spectroscopy.

Through this approach, he looks at the vibration in molecules.

People generally “have this picture of a molecule that isn’t moving,” he said. “In fact, atoms in the molecule are vibrating, like balls on a spring going backwards and forwards.”

Tonge uses the technique to look at vibrations before and after the absorption of light and subtracts the two.

“People knew what the structure of dronpa was at the beginning and they knew the final structure,” but they had only developed educated theories about the transition from one state to another, he explained.

The application of this work isn’t immediate.

“The knowledge we gained will be a foundation that will be combined with other knowledge,” Tonge said. Theoretically, scientists or drug companies can redesign the protein, fine-tuning its light-sensitive properties.

Tonge’s lab, which includes 11 graduate students, two postdoctoral researchers, two undergraduates and six high school students, explores several different scientific questions.

They are studying how proteins use the energy in a photon of light to perform different biological functions.

In optogenetics, scientists have developed ways to use light to turn processes on or off. Eventually, researchers would like to figure out ways to control gene transcription using this technique. According to Tonge, scientists are “interested in using these processes that have naturally evolved to tailor them to our own purposes.”

Weekly horoscopes LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, if you can stay on course, things will move along quite well for you.

There are plenty of distractions that may be in your way, but you must look beyond them.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Get outdoors and enjoy a walk through the park or a hike, Virgo. It’s what you need after being cooped up for too long.

Outdoor projects also may beckon you.

Harnessing the Technology of our Research Giants

Tonge’s other research focus involves understanding how drugs work. Most drugs fail when they reach clinical trials.

“Our ability to predict how drugs will work in humans needs to be improved,” Tonge said, adding that he focuses on something called the kinetics of drug target interactions to improve the process of drug discovery.

In kinetics, he explores how fast a drug binds to its target and how long it remains bound. Companies look to design drugs that remain bound to their desired target for longer, while separating from other areas more rapidly. This kind of kinetic selectivity ensures the effectiveness of the drug while limiting side effects.

By thinking about how long a drug binds to its target, researchers can “improve the prediction of drug activity in humans,” explained Tonge. “We need to consider both thermodynamics and kinetics in the prediction of drug activity.”

A study of kinetics can allow researchers to consider how drugs work. Understanding what causes them to break off from their intended target can help scientists make them more efficient, reducing their failure rate.

Borrowing from sports, Tonge suggested that kinetics measures how quickly an outfielder catches a ball and

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

throws it back to the infield, while thermodynamics indicates whether the outfielder will be able to make a catch.

He believes the most interesting work in terms of kinetics should occur in a partnership between academia and industry.

Tonge is the newly appointed director of the Center for Advanced Study of Drug Action at Stony Brook, where he plans to develop a fundamental understanding of how drugs work and the role kinetics play in drug action.

Joanna Fowler, a senior chemist emeritus at Brookhaven National Laboratory, worked with Tonge for several years starting in 2005. She said Tonge developed ways to label tuberculosis and other molecularly targeted molecules he had developed in his lab. They did this to image and follow it in the body using the imaging tools BNL had at the time.

In an email, she described Tonge as a “scholar” and a “deep thinker,” who investigates mechanisms that govern the interactions between chemical compounds including drugs and living systems, adding, “He uses his knowledge to address problems that affect human beings.”

Finally, Tonge is also pursuing research on positron emission tomography. He would like

to synthesize new radio tracers and use PET to see where they go and learn more about how drugs work. He would also like to enhance ways to locate bacteria in humans.

The professor is trying to detect infections in places where it is difficult to diagnose because of the challenge in getting clinical samples. Samples from throat cultures or mucus are relatively easy to obtain — the short-term agony from a swab in the back of the throat notwithstanding.

“It is more difficult to get samples from locations such as prosthetic joints,” which makes it more challenging to detect and diagnose, he said.

If an infection isn’t treated properly, doctors might have to remove the prosthesis. Similarly, bone infections are difficult to detect and, if left unchecked, can lead to amputations.

A resident of Setauket, Tonge lives with his wife, Nicole Sampson, who is a professor in the chemistry department at SBU and is the interim dean for the College of Arts and Sciences, and their two children, Sebastian, 18, and Oliver, 14.

Tonge, who was raised in the United Kingdom, said he enjoys running on Long Island.

Tonge and Sampson are codirectors of a graduate student training program in which they train students to improve their ability to communicate their science. One of the activities they undertook was to visit a high school and have grad students present their research to high school students.

As for his work, Tonge said he is “genuinely curious about the chemistry that occurs in biological systems.”

Libra, start planning a much-needed vacation right now. And don’t forget to look beyond your usual haunts, as there are many other options available as well.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, you may have a great deal of energy, but you need a plan regarding where to direct it. This may be a good week to spend with friends or family.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, try not to get swept away by bad habits. Try something new and obtain a fresh perspective, whether the task is large or small. Accept challenges as they come.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

There is no need to go to extremes to get your point across, Capricorn. Listen to other people’s opinions, recognizing that their insight may prove valuable.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, there is nothing wrong with questioning the actions of others. This can be a great way to understand others’ points of view and fine-tune your own.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

All it takes is a little spark and then your motivation will renew, Pisces. It won’t take very long to get back on track if you desire it.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, don’t hesitate to express the passion you are feeling for a loved one. If you do not share your feelings, others will not know what you are thinking and fail to respond.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

It’s time to trust your instincts, Taurus.

When something does not seem on the up and up, you owe it to yourself to speak up. Keep in mind that others may not believe you.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Your romantic life seems to be full of complicated patterns that could be perceived as obstacles, Gemini. Don’t let these things hinder your relationships.

Start making changes.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

Sitting back and not doing much this week will move you nowhere quickly, Cancer. You need to find motivation to be productive and get to the tasks at hand.

When Mika Rose saw an empty storefront in Westbury, she envisioned a place where the community could get the ethnic foods they couldn’t find nearby. When PSEG Long Island heard her plan, we were glad to help out by lowering her electric costs through our Main Street Revival Program— and turn an empty space into a thriving new community business. It’s one more way that PSEG Long Island is helping people like Mika make our communities even better.

When the computer-animated fairy tale “Shrek” hit the movie theaters in 2001, it was a huge commercial success. Critics loved it also, calling it “an adorable, infectious work of true sophistication” (NY Daily News). The DreamWorks film went on to win an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, sprouted several sequels (including one in 3-D) and eventually morphed into “Shrek The Musical.” With book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori, the show ran on Broadway from 2008 to 2010.

Loosely based on William Steig’s picture book by the same name, it tells the story of a green ogre named Shrek whose life is turned upside down when all of the fairy tale creatures in the kingdom are banished to his swamp by order of Lord Farquaad. Shrek strikes a deal with Farquaad to rescue Princess Fiona from a tower guarded by a fire breathing dragon in order to get his land back. Along with his sidekick, Donkey, he sets off on an adventure that will change his life forever.

Now everyone’s favorite ogre and his fairy tale friends have set up camp at the Engeman Theater in a children’s theater production of “Shrek The Musical.” The show, which runs through Sept. 2, is a condensed version of the Broadway musical yet manages to keep many of its wonderful songs and beloved scenes.

Directed by Kevin F. Story, the 14-member cast embraces the clever script and runs with it. Evan Schultz is terrific as the grumpy hermit turned hero, Shrek, who has little patience for his chatterbox companion, Donkey, perfectly executed

by Marlin D. Slack. Channeling his inner Eddie Murphy, Slack shines in “Make a Move” and steals the show.

Sari Feldman plays a sassy Princess Fiona who is waiting for true love’s first kiss in order to break a witch’s spell. Young audience members will love “I Think I Got You Beat,” which features a farting and burping contest between Shrek and

Fiona. “Better out than in I always say,” quips Shrek.

Daniel Schinina tackles the role of Lord Farquaad, the ruthless ruler of Duloc, on his knees and with ease, and Jenna Kavaler is wonderful as the ferocious dragon who keeps three knights alive in the castle to sing backup when she’s feeling blue.

The members of the ensemble — Katie Dolce, Amanda Geraci, Sam Kronenfeld, Samantha Masone, Meaghan McInnes, Robbie McGrath, Jojo Minasi, Daniel Schinina and Jeff Tierney — round out the talented cast and play multiple roles throughout the show.

Many of the beloved storybook characters from the film make an appearance, including Gingy, Big Bad Wolf, Peter Pan, Wicked Witch, the Three Blind Mice, Pinocchio (yes his nose grows!) and the Three Little Pigs. Several of the popular lines from the original script that made the movie so great have been recycled as well, from Shrek’s “Ogres are like onions.

We both have layers” and Donkey’s “In the morning I’m making waffles!” and of course, “Men of Lord Farquaad’s stature are of short supply.”

There’s a lot to enjoy about this show, whether you are amazed at Pinocchio’s nose, grinning at the creativity behind the Gingerbread Man or laughing at Lord Farquaad’s legs. In the end, the beautiful finale, “This Is Our Story,” teaches us that you shouldn’t judge someone before you know them and that what makes us special makes us strong. Take your kids or grandkids to see “Shrek The Musical” — they’ll love it and so will you!

Meet the cast in the lobby after the show for photos and autographs. An autograph page is conveniently located toward the back of the program. Booster seats are available.
