Italy is one vast vineyard, stretching from Piedmont in the north to Sicily in the south. It is divided into 20 grape-growing regions and over 8,100 villages. There are over 2,000 varieties of Italian wines and more than 1,000 different grape varieties.

At a recent private luncheon and tasting, I sampled over a dozen Italian wines while speaking with the winemakers and representatives.

The KIN Winery from Piedmont makes only one wine: 2015 Erbaluce di Caluso. Flavor of green apple, pear, citrus, figs, almonds and wildflowers. Stellar!

Wines from Tenuta Cavalier Pepe Winery of Irpinia, Campania were: 2018 Vela Veneto Vulcano Rosato. 100% Aglianico grapes. Floral and off-dry with strawberry and red cherry flavor.

2016 “Grancare” Greco di Tufo. Green apple, toasted almond, citrus and melon; young and vibrant.

2017 Falanghina. Drier than most with a fruity aroma of apple, banana and peach.

Lingering aftertaste of citrus and minerals.

Wines from Cerulli Spinozzi Winery of Abruzzo were: 2018 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo Superiore.

Blush-colored, made from Montepulciano grapes. Flavors of watermelon, strawberry and bitter orange.

2018 Pecorino Colli Aprutini. Green olive and brine, brioche and green figs with a bitter almond aftertaste.

2010 Torre Migliori Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Deeply colored and full-bodied with flavors of dark chocolate, black plums and spices. Wow! What a wine.

Wines from Corte Quiaira Winery of Veneto were: 2018 Corte Pinot Grigio Ramato. “Ramato” means copper-colored because of skincontact which provides considerable flavor of tangerine, nectarine, citrus and hazelnuts.

2016 “Campo al Salice” Garganega.

Flavors of almonds, apples, honeydew and pears. Long, lingering aftertaste.

2013 Monte delle Saette Goldtraminer.

Goldtraminer is a white grape variety made from a cross of Gewürztraminer and Trebbiano Toscano. Clean and crisp with hints of honey, jasmine and marzipan. It has the illusion of sweetness, but it is dry.

2016 Pinot Noir. Huge red and blackberried bouquet with spices, oak and a touch of vanilla.

Wines from Giusti Winery of Veneto were: 2018 Chardonnay delle Venezie. Clean and crisp, reminds me a very good premier cru Chablis.

NV (nonvintage) Rosalia Prosecco. Extradry. 100 percent Glera grapes. Fruity and easy to drink.

NV (nonvintage) Spumante Rosé. Blend of chardonnay, pinot noir and Recantina grapes. Bouquet of peaches, strawberry and pomegranate. Dry and very refreshing.

2016 Valpolicella Ripasso. Bouquet and flavor of black cherries, figs, raisins and spices with a bitter aftertaste. In a word … delicious!

2014 Amarone della Valpolicella. Lush, spicy bouquet, almost portlike. Complex flavor of dried fruit, chestnuts and cherry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and quite dry. A rustic Amarone at its best!

KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS

CSHL’s Hammell finds link between altered protein and subset of ALS patients Harnessing the Technology of our Research Giants

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF It’s a big leap from an encouraging start to a human, especially when it comes to deadly diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Associate Professor Molly Hammell knows that all too well.

Hammell has been studying a linkage between a mutated form of a protein called TDP-43 and ALS for eight years. About a year and a half ago, she worked with 178 human samples from the New York Genome Center’s ALS Consortium and found a connection between a subset of people with the disease and the presence of abnormal aggregate forms of the protein.

“It’s really rewarding to see evidence in clinical samples from the processes that we predicted from cell culture and animal models,” she explained in an email.

About 30 percent of the people with ALS Hammell examined had pathology of this protein in the upper motor neurons of the upper cortex. In this area, the mutated form of TDP allowed more so-called jumping genes to transcribe themselves. A normal TDP protein silences these jumping genes, keeping order amid potential gene chaos. The change in the protein, however, can reduce the ability of the protein to serve this important molecular biology maintenance function.

By using complementary studies of cell culture, the associate professor tried to determine whether knocking out or reducing the concentration of normal TDP caused an increase in these retrotransposons.

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

‘It’s really exciting to see that your research might have an impact.’

— Molly Hammell When she knocked out the TDP, she found a de-silencing of these jumping genes “was rapid,” she said. “We could see that in the samples we collected.”

Before she got the larger sample, Hammell worked with a smaller pilot data set of 20 patients. She found that three of the patients had this abnormal protein and an active set of these jumping genes.

“It’s hard to make an argument for something you’d only seen in three patients,” she said. “Getting that second, independent much larger cohort convinced us this is real and it’s repeatable, no matter whose patient cohort we’re looking at.”

Several diseases show similar TDP pathology, including Alzheimer’s and fronto-temporal dementia. She started with ALS because she believed “if we’re ever going to see” the link between the mutated protein and a disorder, she would “see it here” because a larger fraction of patients with ALS have TDP-43 pathology than any other disease.

The findings with ALS are a compelling start and offer a potential explanation for the role of the defective protein in these other conditions.

“We think it’s possible in a subset of patients with other neurodegenerative diseases that there might be overlapping” causes, Hammell said “We’re trying to get more data to branch out and better understand overlapping alterations.”

With these other diseases, she and her colleagues would like to explore whether TDP pathology is a necessary precondition in conjunction with some other molecular biological problems or whether these conditions can proceed without the disrupted protein.

The reaction among researchers working on ALS to Hammell’s finding has been encouraging.

Hemali Phatnani, the director of the Center for Genomics of Neurodegenerative Disease at the New York Genome Center, suggested Hammell’s work “opens up really interesting lines of investigation” into a potential disease mechanism for ALS. The research suggests a “testable hypothesis.”

Phatnani, who has been in her role for about five years, said she and Hammell speak frequently and that they serve as sounding boards for each other, adding that Hammell is “definitely a well-regarded member of the community.”

Hammell has also been working through the Neurodegeneration Challenge Network in the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, or CZI. This work brings together scientists who study Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS and Huntington’s diseases. The group works to develop new approaches to

the treatment and prevention of these diseases. These scientists, which includes researchers from Harvard University, Stanford University, Vanderbilt and Mount Sinai, among others, have webinars once a month and attend a conference each year.

Hammell was one of 17 researchers awarded the Ben Barres Early Career Acceleration Award from the CZI in 2018, which helped fund the research.

She thinks the scientists from the CZI are excited about the general possibility that there’s overlapping disease mechanisms, which her work or research from other scientists in the effort might reveal. The CZI is “trying to get researchers working on different diseases to share their results to see if that’s the case,” she explained in an email.

She recognizes that numerous molecular and cellular changes also occur during the course of a disease.“There are always skeptics,” Hammell concedes. In her experiments, she sees what has happened in patient samples, but not what caused it to happen. She also has evidence that the retrotransposon silencing happens because of TDP-43 pathology.

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.

Understanding systemic inflammation C-reactive protein can be measured to identify disease risk

One of the most widely studied biomarkers for inflammation in our bodies is high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), also referred to as CRP. High sensitivity means that we can measure levels as low as 0.3 mg/L more accurately.

What is the significance of the different levels? Individuals who have levels lower than 1.0 mg/L are in the optimal range for low risk

By David for a host of diseases Dunaief, M.D. that are indicated by high inflammation.

For example, with heart disease, levels of 1 to 3 mg/L represent the average risk range, and greater than 3.0 mg/L is a higher risk profile. Above 10.0 mg/L is more likely associated with other causes, such as infection and autoimmune diseases (1, 2). This biomarker is derived from the liver.

CRP is not specific to heart disease, nor is it definitive for risk of the disease. However, the upside is that it may be helpful with risk stratification, which helps us understand where we sit on a heart disease risk spectrum and with progression in other diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, depression and autoimmune diseases.

Let’s look at the evidence.

Age-related macular degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in patients over the age of 65 (3). Therefore, it is very important to help define risk stratification for this disease. In a prospective study, results showed that hsCRP levels were inversely associated with the risk of developing AMD. The group with an hsCRP greater than 3.0 mg/L had a 50 percent increased risk of developing overall AMD compared to the optimal group with hsCRP lower than 1.0 mg/L. But even more interestingly, the risk of developing neovascular, or wet, AMD increased to 89 percent in this high-risk group.

The significance of wet AMD is that it is one type of advanced-stage AMD that results in blindness. This study involved five studies where the researchers thawed baseline blood samples from middle-aged participants who had hsCRP levels measured. There were more than 2,000 participants with a follow-up as long as 20 years. According to the study’s authors, annual eye exams and lifestyle modifications, including supplements, may be able to stem this risk by reducing hsCRP. These results reinforce those of a previous prospective study that showed that elevated hsCRP increased the risk of AMD threefold

Depression

Depression is a very difficult disease to control and is a tremendous cause of disability.

Well, it turns out that inflammation is associated with depression. Specifically, in a prospective observational trial, rising levels of CRP had a linear relationship with increased risk of hospitalization due to psychological distress and depression (7). In other words, compared to levels of less than 1 mg/L, those who were 1 to 3 mg/L, 3 to 10 mg/L and greater than 10 mg/L had increased risk from 30 to 84 to 127 percent, respectively. This study involved over 70,000 patients.

How can you reduce inflammation?

(4). This study utilized data from the Women’s Health Study, which involved over 27,000 participants. Like the study mentioned above, this one also defrosted blood samples from baseline and looked at follow-up incidence of developing AMD in initially healthy women.

The highest group had hsCRP levels over 5.2 mg/L. Additionally, when analyzing similar cutoffs for high- and low-level hsCRP, as the above trial used, those with hsCRP over 3.0 had an 82 percent increased risk of AMD compared to those with an hsCRP of lower than 1.0 mg/L.

Diabetic retinopathy

We know that diabetes affects just under 10 percent of the U.S. population and is continuing to rise. One of the complications of diabetes is diabetic retinopathy, which affects the retina (back of the eye) and is a leading cause of vision loss (5). One of the reasons for the vision loss is macular edema, or swelling, usually due to rupture of tiny blood vessels below the macula, a portion of the back of the eye responsible for central vision.

The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), a prospective study involving over 1,400 Type 1 diabetes patients, showed an 83 percent increased risk of developing clinically significant macular edema in the group with the highest hsCRP levels compared to those with the lowest (6). Although these results were with Type 1 diabetes, patients with Type 2 diabetes are at equal risk of diabetic retinopathy if glucose levels, or sugars, are not well controlled.

This is the key question, since we now know that hsCRP is associated with systemic inflammation. In the Nurses’ Health Study, a very large, prospective observational study, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet decreased the risk of both heart disease and stroke, which is impressive. The DASH diet also decreases the levels of hsCRP significantly, which was associated with a decrease in clinically meaningful end points of stroke and heart disease (8). The DASH diet is nutrient dense with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains and a de-emphasis on processed foods, red meats, sodium and sweet beverages.

Conclusion

As the evidence shows with multiple diseases, hsCRP is a very valuable nonspecific biomarker for inflammation in the body. To stem the effects of inflammation, reducing hsCRP through lifestyle modifications and drug therapy may be a productive way of reducing risk, slowing progression and even potentially reversing some disease processes.

The DASH diet is a very powerful approach to achieving optimal levels of hsCRP without incurring potential side effects. This is a call to arms to have your levels measured, especially if you are at high risk or have chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, depression and autoimmune diseases. HsCRP is a simple blood test with easy-to-obtain results.

COMINGS AND GOINGS

Texas Roadhouse heads to Selden Yee-haw! A new Texas Roadhouse is scheduled to open in Selden Plaza by spring of 2020 on the former Ruby Tuesday site at 289 Middle Country Road next to Chipotle. Founded by W. Kent Taylor, Texas Roadhouse opened its first restaurant in Clarksville, Indiana in 1993. Today, the company operates 555 Texas Roadhouses around the world, described as a familyfriendly restaurant “famous for hand-cut steaks, made-from-scratch sides, freshbaked bread, and a lively atmosphere.”

Sweetwaters opens in Smithtown

Ribbon cutting held for New Village Plaza in Centereach

Local officials, members of the Centereach Civic Association, Middle Country Chamber of Commerce, family and friends were on hand to celebrate the grand opening ribbon cutting of MVC Properties’ latest venture − New Village Plaza in Centereach − on Nov. 2.

Located at 1707-1759 Middle Country Road across from McDonald’s, the shopping center will have over 75,000 square feet of space when the project is completed over two phases. Tenants include an Arby’s, Wingstop, an AT&T store, Swolehouse, Brownstones Coffee and Pacfe Nail & Spa. Cabo Fresh, Voodoo Crab and ProHealth are soon to follow.

Gus Catechis of MVC Properties thanked the community, Councilman Kevin LaValle, Legislator Tom Muratore and Diane Caudullo of the Centereach Civic Association before cutting the ribbon. “I just want you to know how grateful I am for all the support you gave me from the very beginning and to everyone who made this a reality,” he said.

“This special project has been a long time coming.

We took something that was a blight in our area and Gus put the time in, put the money in, really giving back to the community to build this great shopping center that we have here with great brand names. It’s really going to be something we are proud of here in Centereach,” said Councilman LaValle, adding “This grand opening shows once again that Brookhaven is open for business.”

“I am always happy to support new businesses in our community, and an entire shopping center is a home run for the local economy,” said Leg. Muratore.

“Congratulations to the owners, MVC Properties. We are happy to welcome them to our business community.”

Above, Gus Catechis, center, accepts Certificates of Congratulations from Councilman LaValle on behalf of the Town of Brookhaven and Legislature Muratore on behalf of Suffolk County.

Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea officially opened its first location on Long Island with a grand opening at 200 W. Main St., Smithtown on Nov. 9. The 1,400-squarefoot cafe with a drive-thru offers a globally inspired menu featuring coffees, teas, pastries and more.

“We are excited to bring Sweetwaters to our local community,” said Jeffery Wong, owner and director of operations, in a press release. “The cafe will offer indoor and outdoor seating and a drive-thru for customer convenience. Located on West Main Street, Sweetwaters is a perfect fit for Long Island.” Hours are Mondays to Thursdays from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sundays from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, call 631360-0276.

Another Kmart to close

And another store bites the dust.

Transformco, parent company to Kmart, announced plans to close 96 Sears and Kmart stores including the Kmart at 5151 Sunrise Highway in Bohemia by February 2020. The statement was made on Nov. 7.

“Since purchasing substantially all the assets of Sears Holdings Corporation in February 2019, Transformco has faced a difficult retail environment and other challenges,” the company wrote in a press release. “We have been working hard to position Transformco for success by focusing on our competitive strengths and pruning operations that have struggled due to increased competition and other factors. To support these initiatives, our owners (along with a third-party investor) have recently provided the company approximately $250 million in new capital.” As a result, the company made the “difficult but necessary” decision to close the businesses. Going out of business sales at the stores are expected to begin on Dec. 2.

Once Kmart closes in Bohemia, the only remaining Kmart on Long Island will be in Bridgehampton at 2044 Montauk Highway. The Farmingville Kmart closed this fall. The Sears location at Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove is not among the locations announced for closure.

POWER OF 3

Continued from page B5 “What we still need to confirm is whether or not the retrotransposons are themsleves contributing to killing the neurons,” she said.

If Hammell confirms a mechanistic link, other studies may lead to a treatment akin to the approach researchers have taken with viruses that alter the genetic code.

Future therapies for a subset of patients could include antiviral treatments that select specific genes.

Over time, she said her lab has cautiously added more resources to this work. As she has gotten

increasingly encouraging results, she has hired more scientists who dedicate their work to this effort, which now includes two postdoctoral fellows, two graduate students and three staff scientists.

Some scientists in her lab still explore technology development and are devoted to fixing the experimental methods and data analysis strategies she uses to look for transposon activity.

Hammell is inspired by the recent results and recalled how she found what she expected in human samples about 18 months ago. She said she was “giddy” and she ran into someone else’s lab to “make sure I hadn’t done it incorrectly. It’s really exciting to see that your research might have an impact.”

Town of Brookhaven holds first Brookhaven’s Got Talent student art show

On Oct. 29, 70 residents attended the Town of Brookhaven Youth Board’s first Brookhaven’s Got Talent student art show.

Students enrolled in seventh through 12th grade were asked to submit summer-themed photos, paintings and/or drawings through the town’s website, and entries were accepted

“The goal behind this initiative was to recognize and encourage young, talented artists in Brookhaven Town. We ended up having an intergenerational event where students were engaging with their peers, adults and seniors, sharing details about their art. It is gratifying to see so many residents coming out on a cold, rainy October night to view the students’ exceptional work and encourage their artistic talents,” said Supervisor Ed Romaine.

Councilman Michael Loguercio, Town Board liaison to the Brookhaven Youth Bureau

from late June through Sept. 27.

In total, 19 submissions were received from 15 students. The event took place in the second-floor lobby at Town Hall, 1 Independence Hill, Farmingville where prints of the students’ artwork are currently displayed for residents to view.

agreed. “The Youth Board did a great job of bringing the Brookhaven community together to celebrate the students’ artwork. It is encouraging to see students from school districts throughout Brookhaven Town participate. The large turnout and positive feedback we received will certainly encourage these students to continue to pursue their artistic goals,” he said.

Background: In the 1930s the current family purchased a working dairy farm called Buttercup Dairy. Four generations later, through cows, glass bottles and home delivery milkmen, the farm has evolved into its current format with its emphasis on freshness and value. A typical surburban story...from cow barn to processing plant to home delivery, to small drive through dairy store in 1971. In 1975 the cow barn was converted into the current store and housed a few basic essentials. As the neighborhood grew so did the store’s inventory and selection into the everyday market it is today.

COOKING COVE

Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Orange-Balsamic Vinaigrette

NEWS AROUND TOWN

Decorative Sign Class

Autumn salads are crunchy and colorful

BY BARBARA BELTRAMI Autumn brings with it a plethora of veggies that we too often think we have to cook to death in soups, stews and casseroles. But greens like kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower make a nice base for a salad. Root veggies like beets and carrots add color while nuts and seeds give a whole new dimension to salad dressings. Add autumn fruits with or without your favorite lettuces and you’ve got a great main or side dish.

Add some protein like chicken, beans, salmon, shrimp or cheese and you’ve got a healthful one-dish meal, if you want. And there’s no reason you can’t try them with the dressing of your choice instead of the ones here.

Roasted Beet Salad with Goat Cheese and Orange-Balsamic Vinaigrette

YIELD: Makes 6 servings INGREDIENTS: • Nonstick cooking spray • 3 to 4 medium beets, washed, trimmed, peeled and cut into quarters • 12 garlic cloves, peeled • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar • 1 tablespoon orange juice • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest • 1 tablespoon minced red onion • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste • 4 cups baby arugula • 2/3 cup crumbled goat cheese • ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; add beets, garlic, thyme and 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil; toss to coat thoroughly, then roast,

turning once or twice, until beets are tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven.

When beets reach room temperature, dice them. In medium bowl, whisk together remaining oil, vinegar, orange juice, zest, onion, mustard, and salt and pepper; add beet mixture; toss to thoroughly coat. Line salad plates with arugula; heap beet mixture evenly on top; sprinkle with goat cheese and walnuts.

Serve immediately at room temperature with meat, poultry or a hearty soup.

Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Baby Spinach and Apple Cider Dressing

YIELD: Makes 8 servings INGREDIENTS: • 3 pounds butternut squash, peeled and diced • ¼ cup olive oil • 2 tablespoons brown sugar • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper • 1½ cups apple cider • ¼ cup cider vinegar • ¼ cup minced shallot • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil • ½ pound baby spinach, washed and patted dry • 3 sweet-tart apples, peeled, cored, diced and tossed with freshly squeezed lemon juice • 1 cup sliced almonds, toasted • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional) DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 F. In a very large bowl toss the squash cubes with the quarter cup of olive oil, brown sugar and salt and pepper. Spread evenly on baking sheet and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until squash is tender.

Meanwhile in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat combine the cider, vinegar,

shallot, and salt and pepper and bring to a boil; cook for about 6 minutes until liquid is reduced by half. Let cool a little, then add mustard and cup of olive oil. Let cool completely. Line a platter or large bowl with spinach; add squash; drain apples and place on top of squash; sprinkle with almonds and cheese, if using. Serve at room temperature with a meat, poultry, soup or pasta.

Get ready for the holiday season with a decorative sign class at the Smithtown Historical Society’s Frank Brush Barn, 211 E. Main St., Smithtown on Friday, Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m. Mastropolo Arts will guide participants through a fun night of sign making on a reversible 20-inch wood board. You will take home a Thanksgiving Turkey and a Winter Snowman all in one. $45 per person. Registration is required by calling 631-265-6768.

Brussels Sprout, Pear and Kale Salad with Mustard-Honey Vinaigrette

YIELD: Makes 8 to 10 servings INGREDIENTS: • 3 firm Anjou pears, peeled, cored and sliced into half-inch wedges • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice • 2 large bunches lacinato kale, center stem removed and leaves cut into thin strips • 12 ounces fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced • 2 cups dried cranberries • 1 garlic clove • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard • 1 tablespoon honey • ¼ cup white wine vinegar • Salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl toss the pear slices with the lemon juice; remove pears and reserve lemon juice for another use, if desired. In a large bowl toss together the pears, kale, Brussels sprouts and cranberries. Cover with plastic wrap and chill to up to 4 hours until ready to serve, then remove from fridge and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile in small bowl whisk together the garlic, oil, mustard, honey, vinegar and salt and pepper; let sit at least an hour, then remove garlic and toss dressing with salad. Serve at room temperature with poultry, meat or casserole.

The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum, following a year of rigorous self-study that led to a comprehensive report and a two-day site visit by a team of peer reviewers, has been reaccredited by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). Accreditation signifies excellence to the museum community, to governments, funders, outside agencies and to the museum-going public.

Among the first museums to receive this distinction, the Vanderbilt was first accredited in 1972, with subsequent reaccreditations in 1982, 1996 and 2005. Of the estimated 33,000 museums in the United States, only 3.25 percent are currently accredited. The Vanderbilt’s next reaccreditation cycle will be in 2027-28.

AAM accreditation is the highest national recognition awarded to a museum and demonstrates its commitment to excellence, accountability, high professional standards and continued institutional improvement. The program strengthens the museum profession by promoting practices that enable leaders to make informed decisions, allocate resources wisely and remain financially and ethically accountable, with the goal of providing the best possible service to the public.

Lance Reinheimer, executive director of the Vanderbilt Museum, said, “We are pleased that the AAM has once again reaccredited the Museum. This designation is a tribute to the enthusiasm, dedication, and hard work of the trustees and staff. We think the Vanderbilt family would approve of our progress as stewards of their legacy, a remarkable piece of American history.”

Amy Bartow-Melia, chair of the AAM Accreditation Commission and MacMillan associate director for audience engagement at the National Museum of American History, said, “The Vanderbilt continues to meet National Standards and Best Practices for U.S. Museums and remains a member of the community of institutions that have chosen to hold themselves

publicly accountable to excellence. Through a rigorous process of self-assessment and review by its peers, the museum has shown itself to be a good steward of its resources held in the public trust and committed to a philosophy of continual institutional growth.”

The AAM site-visit report noted that, “The museum has an excellent executive director … a great team that complements his skills and a very engaged and experienced Board. The Board and administration work well together and include staff as appropriate for managing the property and organization.

“There is very strong and transparent communication between the Board and the staff, especially as it relates to the strategic plan and strategic initiatives. The staff morale is high, and the management team is effective, despite many positions left unfilled due to budget constraints.

Our interactions confirmed a positive and equitable work environment … Education is a highlight of the museum, is poised for growth continued success, and provides an accessible and inclusive experience.”

Ronald A. Beattie, president of the Vanderbilt board of trustees, said, “This honor is a testament to the great teamwork between our outstanding, dedicated staff and the Board. Creating an institutional plan that details our strategic vision was key to the re-accreditation process. Now we begin the hard work of implementing that plan and turning it into an operational guide.

“Meanwhile, the museum is proud to be one of the few in the U.S. to have earned this distinction from its peers. We look forward to continuing our commitment to the community as a destination for school children, Long Islanders, and international travelers.”

The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum is located at 180 Little Neck Road in Centerport.

The museum, mansion and grounds are open Sundays, Tuesdays and Saturdays from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 631854-5579 or visit www.vanderbiltmuseum.org.

YOUR TURN

Three Village Garden Club celebrates 90th anniversary A roaring good time was had by all

BY MARTINA MATKOVIC

Entering the door of the Bates House in Setauket on Oct. 20th was like stepping back in time to the year 1929 and the era affectionately referred to as “The Roaring Twenties.” Before you could pass through the door, however, you had to say the secret password, a nod to the prohibition laws and “speakeasys” that marked the time. “Iris sent me” was chosen for its reference to the club’s official flower.

The occasion celebrated the 90th birthday of The Three Village Garden Club whose first meeting was documented by member Arlene Oliver as she assiduously combed through a treasure trove of archival material of the past 90 years.

An “ahah” moment came with the discovery of the minutes of the very first meeting!

An octet of string musicians from Ward Melville High School offered a selection of lovely classical repertoire as guests “whet their whistles” with a signature cocktail called “Buck’s Fizz” and enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres as they made their way to a display of historic memorabilia and a printed timeline of the club’s 90 year history, complimented by events taking place simultaneously in the world.

Large, potted palms, reminiscent of the times, decorated the area and guests were able to pose for a photo in front of a large, wall-sized, authentic 1920’s mural of couples socializing outside of a speakeasy.

A veritable fashion parade of various styles of dress of the period was on display as women guests appeared in low-waisted dresses, Cloche style hats, feathered headpieces, strappy shoes, elbow-length gloves and pearls, pearls and more pearls.

As guests took their seats at beautifully set tables, each with a color-coordinated centerpiece of flowers designed by Pat Bany, and Elegant Eating catering a variety of light fare.

Remarks were delivered by Kathy Walczak, chairperson of the event; current president, Karin Ryon, highlighting important events in the club’s history; and newly elected president of Federated Garden Clubs of New York State, our own Vikki Bellias.

While dessert of “Al Capone” cake was being served, guests enjoyed musical entertainment by The Algorhythms, a barbershop quartet who sang popular tunes of the day, followed by a demonstration of signature dances by Arthur Murray Dance Centers.

The celebration was a fine tribute to the members of a venerable organization who have served the community well in a variety of ways for ninety years. Carry on 3VGC!!

Martina Matkovic is a member of The Three Village Garden Club which welcomes new members. For more information, call 631-689-8484.

TOMORROW IS FRIDAY – WEAR RED ON CAMPUS!

STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

Women’s soccer draws Penn State for NCAA first round bout INDIANAPOLIS – For the second time in the last three seasons, the Stony Brook women’s soccer program is going to the NCAA Tournament. For the second time in the last three seasons, the Seawolves are sent to Penn State for the First Round.

“We are really excited to be playing soccer now,” head coach Tobias Bischof said afterward.

“Winning a championship yesterday was awesome. We are looking forward to it. It will be a tough game.

Penn State is one of the powerhouse teams in the nation.”

The Seawolves are earning their third trip to the NCAA Tournament in the Division I era, joining the 2012 and 2017 squads. This will also be the third consecutive Big Ten foe that they will face as the team played Maryland in 2012 and the Nittany Lions in 2017.

Mouhamadou Gueye (5) finished with 12 points on six shots during Monday’s game.

Women’s basketball slides past Manhattan in home opener The Stony Brook women’s basketball team earned an exciting win at home in front of its fans at the Island Federal Arena on Nov. 9, topping Manhattan College by a score of 59-54.

Down by two with 6:26 left in the contest, the Seawolves went on a 10-point run to put the game out of reach for the Jaspers and to improve to 2-0 on the season.

“I thought our team was really tested tonight, playing a tough and hungry Manhattan team.

We fought through a lot of adversity and responded. I’m proud of our team for staying together and getting a hard fought win,” said head coach Caroline McCombs who is now just 11 wins away from her 100th at SBU. Don’t miss your chance to see the Seawolves take on Iona at the Island Federal Arena on Nov. 21.

All of the action is set to begin at 6:30 p.m.

The run that lifted the team to victory was sparked by five straight points from Anastasia Warren (4)

The Stony Brook men’s basketball team earned its first win of the 201920 campaign in dominant fashion, defeating Farmingdale State 91-44 in front of 2,049 fans at Island Federal Arena on Nov. 11.

Five Seawolves scored in double figures, led by junior Elijah Olaniyi (Newark, N.J.) who had 21 on the night. Freshman Tavin Pierre Philippe’s (Freeport) first collegiate points came on a three just over five minutes in and he ended up with 11. The others were sophomore Miles Latimer (Fairfax, Va.), junior Mouhamadou Gueye (Staten Island) and junior Andrew Garcia (Harlem).

“When we play our non-Division I, we like to play the local team because it gives their players, most of which are Long Island kids, a chance to come to Stony Brook and their families can come. I was excited that we had 20 assists. We shared the ball. We moved the ball. It wasn’t a night where we shot unbelievable but to get to 20 assists means that guys are really trying to share it and that was really encouraging,” said head coach Geno Ford.

Up next, the team heads to Corpus Christi, Texas for a trio of games in the Islander Invitational. They will play Texas A&M Corpus Christi, TexasRio Grande Valley and North Dakota State in successive days this weekend.

Stony Brook returns home on Dec. 2 to take on Manhattan College at 7 p.m. at Island Federal Arena.

Come on down to the shelter and meet them! They come spayed, microchipped and up to date on their vaccines and do not have to be adopted together.

COVER STORY

Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts celebrates the holiday season with ‘Annie’

BY HEIDI SUTTON

J

ust in time for the holidays, the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts kicks off its 18th season with a production of the classic family musical “Annie” through Jan. 20. Last seen on the Smithtown stage back in 2010, the show returns with fervor with a whole new cast, albeit a lovable favorite, and brims with hope, optimism and dreams.

With book by Thomas Meehan, music by Charles Strouse and lyrics by Martin Charnin, “Annie” the musical premiered on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon Theatre) in 1977. Since then, the awardwinning show has toured around the world and serving as inspiration for many stage, film and television adaptations.

Loosely based on the adventures of Little Orphan Annie, a comic strip created by Harold Gray in the 1920s, “Annie” tells the story of a spunky 11-year-old who has been living at the New York Municipal Orphanage for Girls since her parents dropped her off there when she was an infant with half a locket and a note promising to come back for her. As the years pass Annie grows restless waiting for their return and runs away a lot, testing the patience of the ill-tempered and downright cruel Miss Hannigan who runs the orphanage.

“That was 1922 and this is 1933 – they must’ve got stuck in traffic!” Miss Hannigan says sarcastically.

As the holidays roll around, billionaire Oliver Warbucks sends his personal secretary Grace Farrell to the orphanage to choose one lucky orphan to spend Christmas at his mansion. The secretary chooses the rambunctious curly-haired redhead, who quickly steals the hearts of Farrell, Warbucks and the entire household staff. When the billionaire hears Annie’s story, he offers a $50,000 reward to help find her parents, attracting every swindler out there including Miss Hannigan’s shady brother Rooster and his girlfriend Lily. Will their scheme be foiled? Will Annie find her real parents?

Directed by Tommy Ranieri, the ubertalented cast embraces the ever-optimistic script and runs with it. The role of the orphans are double cast, with a Red and Green Cast.

Last Saturday afternoon’s performance, performed by the Green Cast, featured a wonderful Paige Mathers as Annie (a role shared with Gabby Blum), perfectly capturing her character’s pluckiness, toughness and

determination. Mathers’ versions of “Maybe” and “Tomorrow” are delivered perfectly.

Annie’s fellow orphans, played by Cassidy Gill, Catalina A. Kreitzman, Adrienne Porti, Alexa Oliveto, Alexandra Mitnick and Jenna Hammelman, are terrific as well, most evident in the big number, “It’s a Hard-Knock Life.”

Joe Morris is perfectly cast as Oliver Warbucks and shines in “NYC” and “I Don’t Need Anything But You.” The bond he shares with Annie is charming and sweet.

While the ensemble serves as the supporting cast for the show, they have plenty of time to shine on their own — especially Jeremy Hudson who changes roles quicker than changing clothes. It was nice to see him back on SPAC’s stage.

Erica Giglio Pac steals the spotlight as the cantankerous and boozy Miss Hannigan. Her vocals on “Little Girls” are pitch perfect and her wishful thinking rendition of “Easy Street” with Ryan Cavanagh as Rooster Hannigan and Alyson Gannon as Lily St. Regis leaves the audience wanting more.

and, amazingly, Shamus, the sweet cocker spaniel who played Sandy in the theater’s 2010 production, reprises his role as Annie’s lovable sidekick.

Choreography by Ryan Cavanagh is excellent, especially in the big numbers like “NYC” and “It’s a Hard-Knock Life” which uses wet mops as props.

Designed by Tim Golebiewski, the set is most impressive as it rolls and turns on wheels. The orphanage, with its many bunk beds, is transformed into a back alley, the entryway of Oliver Warbuck’s mansion and the Oval Office of the White House. Long creme-colored silk curtains are draped to hide the different props and give the scenes an expensive and festive feel.

The full orchestra brings a wonderful richness to the classic songs, under the direction of Melissa Coyle, while the beautiful period costumes by Ronald Green III, complete with Annie’s iconic red dress, tie the whole production together in a big holiday bow.

The Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts, 2 E. Main St., Smithtown presents “Annie” through Jan. 20. Running time is approximately 2½ hours with one intermission. Tickets are $40 adults, $36 seniors, $25 students. For more information or to order, call 631-7243700 or visit www.smithtownpac.org.
