June is the month to celebrate so many wonderful connections. We cele-brate the beginning of summer, various graduations and the gift of our fathers.

For many of us, our fathers were our first role models for hard work, com-passion and unconditional love. For many, our dads taught us how to love and forgive by the power of their words and ex-ample.

As the summer un-folds, many of us shift gears to better appreciate this season. We are pro-foundly reminded of the many achievements of our young people. Kin-dergarten graduations, moving-up ceremonies, junior high and high school graduations — each are life moments that mark significant achievements in the lives of our young people.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart,” said Helen Keller. This year, our schools have been in crisis because of the conflict around the common core, teacher evaluations and empowering students to learn not just academic les-sons but also life lessons.

An extraordinary group of young men and women have graduated from our high schools. Our communities are better and brighter because these young men and women have spent time in our schools. They are our future leaders and hopefully they will continue their educational journey with passion and energy, believing that they can make a difference in our world.

Seniors, as you graduate from high school, always look to discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace; be willing to work for peace grounded in justice. May a kind word, a reassuring touch and a warm smile be yours, every day of your life. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those who only know hate and let the love embrace you as you continue your journey in the world.

Think positive and make positive choices. Choice, not chance determines one’s destiny. You may make a living by what you get, but make a life by what you give. Give generously of your heart, your time, your talents and your trea-sure. The autograph you leave will make a tremendous difference in our world.

Don’t judge a book by its’ cover, or stop at the introduction! Read it through; see the meaning and message it offers for life. Everyone’s life is sa-cred, even those who are different from you or you do not like are important.

Be more inclusive than exclusive. Don’t be blinded by those who tend to

use shame, blame, guilt and religion to shackle and divide people. Set people free with your respect and your non-judgmental way.

May you never become too con-cerned with material things, but in-stead place an immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart and in the

hearts of others. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize you have limitless opportuni-ties and possibilities.

May you have enough inner strength to deter-mine your own worth and not be dependent on an-other’s judgment of your accomplishments. Get up every day and be grate-ful for what you have. See every life experience and human encounter as a learning experience, as an opportunity to grow

and become more than you are now.So, graduates, as you take leave

and begin a new chapter in your lives, what is your purpose? What is your mission? Your life will be what you create today. No one can take that life from you. There is no blackboard in the sky that has your life outlined for you. You get to fill the blackboard of your life with whatever you feel is important. If you have filled it with junk in the past, wipe it clean. Erase all the hurt and pain that has blocked you from living and loving; be grate-ful that you are now in a place where you have meaning and the opportu-nity for new beginnings.

May you build bridges, not walls. Live a balanced life. Learn a little, think a little, dance, play and have a great sense of humor. But most of all, be aware of wonder.

We live in a world that is very de-ceptive. Don’t let the corrupt political rhetoric of our time blind your seeing, impair your hearing or shackle your dreaming. As you graduate, the social landscape you must navigate is treach-erous. Be prepared to sail stormy wa-ters, but don’t lose heart; draw on the goodness that lives within and on the goodness of others to stay the course.

May your moral compass be ground-ed in respect for all human beings, no matter what their color, race, creed or sexual orientation. May this compass guide you on a path that is committed to working for peace and social justice. As Gandhi once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Congratulations graduates of 2015. Thanks for making the world a little richer, a little brighter and a better place to be!

Fr. Pizzarelli is the director of Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson.

You Can Change, At Any Age!

“My pain has subsided consider-ably. 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

“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

“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

“…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

David M. Dunaief, M.D.Clinician, Author

and Speaker

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

When asked what was more impor-tant, longevity or healthy aging (quality of life), more people choose the latter. Why would you want to live a long life, but be miserable? Well, it turns out the two components are not mutually ex-clusive. I would like you to ponder the possibility of a third choice, “all of the above.” Would you change your answer and, instead of making a difficult choice between the first two, choose the third?

I frequently use the example of Jack LaLanne, a man best known for popularizing fitness. He followed and preached a healthy lifestyle, which in-cluded diet and exercise. He was quite a motivator for many and ahead of his time. He died at the ripe old age of 96.

This brings me to my next point, which is that the number of 90-year-olds is growing by leaps and bounds. According to the National Institutes of Health, those who were more than 90 years old increased by 2.5 times over a 30-year period from 1980 to 2010 (1). This group is among what researchers refer to as the “oldest-old,” which in-cludes those age 85 and older.

What do these patients have in com-mon? According to one study, they tend to have fewer chronic morbidities or diseases. Thus, they tend to have a bet-ter quality of life with a greater physical functioning and mental acuity (2).

In a recent study of centenarians, genetics played a significant role. Char-acteristics of this group were that they tended to be healthy and then die rap-idly, without prolonged suffering (3).

Another benchmark is the amount of health care dollars spent in their last few years. Statistics show that the amount spent for those who were in their 60s and 70s was significantly higher, three times as much, as for centenarians in their last two years (4).

Factors that predict one’s ability to reach this exclusive club may involve both genetics and lifestyle choices. One

Maximizing your odds of healthy longevity

gests an easier target that may still pro-vide significant benefits.

DIETA long-standing paradigm is that we

need to eat sufficient animal protein. However, there have been cracks devel-oping in this façade of late, especially as it relates to longevity. In a recent ob-servational study using NHANES III data, results show that those who ate a high-protein diet (greater 20 percent from protein) had a twofold increased risk of all-cause mortality, a four times increased risk of cancer mortality and a four times increased risk of dying from diabetes (7). This was over a considerable duration of 18 years and involved almost 7,000 participants ranging in age at the start of the study from 50 to 65.

However, this did not hold true if the protein source was from plants. In fact, a high-protein plant diet may reduce the risks, not increase them. The reason for this effect, according to the authors, is that animal protein may increase in-sulin growth factor-1 and growth hor-mones that have detrimental effects on the body.

Interestingly, those who are over the age of 65 may benefit from more animal protein in reducing the risk of cancer. However, there was a significantly in-creased risk of diabetes mortality across all age groups eating a high animal pro-tein diet. The researchers therefore con-cluded that lower animal protein may be wise at least during middle age.

The Adventists Health Study 2 trial

reinforced this data. It looked at Sev-enth-day Adventists, a group whose emphasis is on a plant-based diet, and found that those who ate animal pro-tein up to once a week had a significant-ly reduced risk of dying over the next six years compared to those who were more frequent meat eaters (8). This was an observational trial with over 73,000 participants and a median age of 57 years old.

INFLAMMATIONYou may have heard the phrase that

inflammation is the basis for more than 80 percent of chronic disease. But how can we quantify this into something tangible? In the Whitehall II study, a specific marker for inflammation was measured, interleukin-6. The study showed that higher levels did not bode well for participants’ longevity (9). In fact, if participants had elevated IL-6 (>2.0 ng/L) at both baseline and at the end of the 10-year follow-up period, their probability of healthy aging de-creased by almost half.

The takeaway from this study is that IL-6 is a relatively common biomarker for inflammation that can be measured with a simple blood test offered by most major laboratories. This study involved 3,044 participants over the age of 35 who did not have a stroke, heart attack or cancer at the beginning of the study.

The bottom line is that, although ge-netics is important for longevity, so too are lifestyle choices. A small amount of exercise, specifically running, can lead to a substantial increase in healthy lifespan. While calories are not equal, protein from plants may trump protein from animal sources in reducing the risk of mortality from all-cause, diabe-tes and heart disease.

This does not necessarily mean that one needs to be a vegetarian to see the benefits. IL-6 may be a useful marker for inflammation, which could help predict healthy or unhealthy outcomes. Thus, why not have a discussion with your doctor about testing to see if you have an elevated IL-6? Lifestyle modifications may be able to reduce these levels.

group of people in the U.S. who lives longer lives on average than most is Seventh-day Adventists. We will explore why this might be the case and what life-style factors could increase our potential to maximize our healthy longevity. Ex-ercise and diet may be key components of this answer. Now that we have set the tone, let’s look at the research.

EXERCISEFor all those who don’t have time

to exercise or don’t want to spend the time, this next study is for you. We are told time and time again to exercise. But how much do we need, and how can we get the best quality? In a recent study, the results showed that 5 to 10 minutes of daily running, regardless of the pace, can have a significant impact on lifes-pan by decreasing cardiovascular mor-tality and all-cause mortality (5).

Amazingly, even if participants ran less than six miles per week at a pace slower than 10-minute miles, and even if they ran only one to two days a week, there was still a decrease in mortality compared to nonrunners. Here is the kicker: those who ran for this very short of amount of time potentially added three years to their lifespan. There were 55,137 participants ranging in age from 18 to 100 years old.

An accompanying editorial to this study noted that more than 50 percent of people in the United States do not meet the current recommendation of at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day (6). Thus, this recent study sug-

The versatility as well as the talent of artist Christian White can be seen in his paintings and works on paper at Gallery North’s current solo exhibit. White comes by his talent naturally and, through training, hard work and self-discipline, has created a body of work over the past 50 years.

His paternal great-grandfather, Stanford White, de-signed the triumphal arch at Washington Square in Man-hattan, among many notable architectural achievements. His paternal grandfather, Lawrence White, was a promi-nent architect and president of the National Academy of Design. His maternal grandfather, the Dutch artist Joep Nicolas, fostered White’s talent during his early years in Holland, where the young artist studied welding, stained glass and mosaics. He learned the sculptor’s skills while assisting his father, noted sculptor Robert White. His mother, the poet Claire Nicolas White, encouraged his ability to see beauty in the ordinary.

The title of the current exhibit at Gallery North, “Chris-tian White: Fifty Years of Art,” may be misleading to those expecting to see a retrospective of works produced during the artist’s long and productive career. This is not a retro-spective exhibit. Rather, White terms it as “introspective” in that it includes personal pieces — portraits of himself and his family and landscapes of places close to him. It includes paintings, drawings and prints, many of them figurative. In the words of the artist, “Many of the clientele at Gallery North identify me as a landscape painter, not a figure painter, but I’ve been a figurative artist throughout my entire career.”

The works are not hung chronologically, this not being a retrospective exhibition. With but a few exceptions, they were created during the past 15 years. A master of trompe

l’oeil (fool the eye) painting, White’s “Alcove,” still life (2001), tempts one to reach out and touch the three-dimensional-appearing brightly painted objects inside the frame of painted pine. In White’s compelling “Self-Portrait” (2003), we meet his rather questioning direct gaze.

But as interesting and attention demanding as these two works are, what we may recall most clearly are paint-ings that reveal White’s great talent for capturing light and atmosphere — specifically, bright sunlight beating down on a hot summer day. We feel the summer midday heat in the bright blue sky that dominates more than half the canvas above the stretch of sand in “Ocean Beach” (2008). It is devoid of people and, therefore, of shadows, as low whitecaps meet the shore.

“Road/River #9” (2011) is uninhabited, too, and no wonder; the brilliant light, caused by a blazing sun beat-ing down on the unforgiving macadam road, hints at a temperature above 90 degrees. The blues of sky and wa-ter and the yellow sand in “Short Beach Lifeguard Sta-tion” (2012) take second place to the sun-drenched bright white lifeguard chair, with its occupant painted loosely in attention-getting red as she watches a man — a mere dab of white paint — in a motor boat in the distance. Loosely painted small figures of a couple crowd the shade under a bright red and white umbrella, taking cover from the blaz-ing sun.

In “Clematis #2” (2015) White provides closeups of brilliant white and vivid pink flowers as they cast shad-ows on a bright green lawn sparkling in the noonday sun. Light is a vital element in each of these landscapes.

Christian White: Fifty Years of Art will be on view at Gallery North, 90 North Country Road, Setauket, through July 10. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Don’t miss it. If you go this Sunday afternoon, June 28, you can also catch an ArTalk by the artist, with Franklin Perrell, an art expert and former curator at the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn. Registration is required for the ArTalk by calling 631-751-2676. For more information, visit www.gallerynorth.org.

Every now and then, gardeners can’t find the exact information they need to successfully grow those little (or big) green things they want. When exactly, for example, should you prune your flowering shrubs? Here are a few gener-alities that may help in those cases. But, remember, there are always exceptions to the rules.

• If an ad for a plant says “quick-growing” or “super quick-growing,” be very wary. Frequently, quick-growing plants take over in the garden. Multiflora roses were sold as quick-growing many years ago. We know now just how inva-sive these pretty plants can be. In fact they are on the list of plants which can’t be sold/propagated in Suffolk County.

• If a plant is filled with needles, chances are it’s an evergreen; it will hold its needles over the winter. A few examples are pines, hemlocks and spruce. There are exceptions, rarely, but exceptions nonetheless, like the dawn redwood (Metasequoia). It’s sometimes called a living fossil because it is essen-tially the same as it was 65 million years ago. This conifer is deciduous; it loses its needles come cold weather. New needles appear in spring.

• If you need to prune a plant because it is just too big, the best time is immedi-ately after it has flowered. That way, you will not disrupt the flowering cycle for next year. For example, if your forsythia are too big, prune them in spring after they bloom. If you prune them in very early spring before they bloom, or late in fall, while they are setting buds, you will

have no flowers next season.• “Plant it high, it won’t die. Plant it

low, it won’t grow.” This rule of thumb is pretty much hard and fast. When trans-planting trees, do not let them sink down below the soil level. For a whole variety of reasons, trees planted below the soil level do not do well.

• Rule of thumb says that evergreen trees, like conifers, evolved in an area with a short growing season. This way, with greenery still on the tree in spring, it will have a head start. How does this translate into your garden? Chances are most of the evergreen trees you’re inter-ested in will grow well in areas with cold climates (i.e., short growing seasons).

• Evergreen trees tend to grow in acidic soil. If there are a lot of native ev-ergreens around, chances are the soil is very acidic. Test the soil, however, just to be sure.

• Deciduous trees tend to grow in more neutral soils. Remember there are exceptions. For example, oak trees are

deciduous, yet do well in very acidic soil. As a result, Long Island, with its very acidic soil, is home to native pines and oaks.

• Plants with tap roots survive drought very well. Don’t water your lawn and you get poor grass, but ex-cellent dandelions. Everyone who has tried to get dandelions out of their lawn knows very well that with their tap-roots, even pulling them out, unless you get the entire taproot, they will keep growing back.

• Veggies with tap roots, like beets, kohlrabi, carrots and others, are difficult to transplant. Start them where you plan to grow them. If you must start them early, do it in a peat pot which can be planted whole in the garden when ready.

• Native plants need less care than introduced ones.

Remember, these are just rules of thumb, generalities. There are always exceptions. A gardening friend of mine transplanted a shrub with a tap root successfully without getting the entire root out, but many people who try don’t succeed.

Garden generalities and rule of thumb

Photos form ellen BarcelPlants advertised as fast-growing, like the multiflora rose bush above, while pretty, are extremely invasive; forsythia should be pruned just after the blooms fade to control height — pruning later in the season can disrupt the plant’s blooming cycle.

Revivals in the theatah are of two kinds: the supercolossal musical smash and the ones that high school groups can do handily. The latter is exemplified by “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” the for-mer by “Mary Poppins,” which opened in the Noel S. Ruiz Theatre at the CM Per-forming Arts Center’s massive venue in Oakdale on Saturday.

This performance was actually a paean to Pat Grossman, that factotum of the theater who directed it and did set de-sign. His interpretive skills were as usual quite evident, but his ability at managing a highly mobile Victorian interior was noteworthy. Grossman’s minutely trained crew gave us a living room, kitchen, Man-sard roof and upstairs bedroom all with the flavor of London in the era of the queen who gave her name to the age.

Choreography was by the indefatigable M.E. Junge. Her work in the tap number “A Step in Time” in Act II was outstanding; and in Act I’s “Supercalifragilisticexpiali-docious” was the signature hit in the en-tire show. One minuscule comment: Your scribe cannot understand why she contin-ues to execute highly complex dance num-bers in semi-darkness. Music was handled by Matthew W. Surico with his exemplary

accuracy with electronic feed music.Katie Ferretti held the title role. Her

far-ranging soprano and excitingly beau-tiful stage presence were truly riveting, especially in “Supercali…” and “A Spoon-ful of Sugar.” Bert the Chimney Sweep was played by Kevin Burns. His mid-range tenor was put to great use as was his obvious acting ability. He had an engag-ing stage personality that coalesced neatly with Ferretti.

The cook was played by Linda Pentz. Her ability with tough, no-nonsense fe-males was a touch of reality in this magi-cal realism production. Speaking of real-ity, there was the infrastructure roles of the Banks family. Carl Tese was George, the paterfamilias, perfectly authorita-tively Victorian, demanding Order and Precision. Aloof from any “sentimental-ity,” he came across most flexibly in a de-manding role involving emotional chang-

es. Amy Dowdell was his wife Winifred. Her Mrs. Banks was a plaintive, highly melodic revelation of her role as a Victo-rian wife. The children, Jane and Michael, were played by Katherine LaFountain and Austin Levine. These two kids were on the boards for long stretches without ex-its. Their ability to concentrate as well as to sing and dance was demonstrably pro-fessional. A double role as Ms. Andrew who replaces Mary Poppins briefly as the Nanny and Mrs. Corrie, a street vendor, was handled by Pamela Parker. The power of her voice in “Brimstone and Treacle” revealed an operatic soprano that caused the light bars to waver.

This production was a true example of how the concatenation of scene changes, done with palpable dexterity, the exac-titude of Junge, the eye of Grossman for interpretation prescinding from his skill as set designer, the interfacing of all of the above with that aesthetic dimension of acting, dancing and singing created a ringing smash hit — a tribute to what the CMPAC is capable of — an exciting eve-ning of musical theater.

The CM Performing Arts Center, 931 Montauk Highway, Oakdale, will present “Mary Poppins” through July 19. Tickets range from $20 to $29. For more informa-tion, call 218-2810 or visit www.cmpac.com.

During the evening of the first night of the week, while many are wrapping up their weekends, the Sunday Nite Folk Dancers are kicking up their heels at the Smithtown Historical Society’s Frank Brush Barn. The welcoming group continues the teachings of leading 20th century folk dance teachers Mary Ann and Michael Herman as well as celebrates a tradition that has brought com-munities together for centuries.

Long-time member Lou Goold, who has been dancing with the group since 1985, said the members follow the folk dance program that the Hermans debuted at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. The couple started Folk Dance House in Manhattan, and in the 1970s, after the group changed locations a couple of times in the city, they moved to North Babylon. The Hermans began leading their folk dance classes in Bay Shore and West Islip. After the passing of the couple in the mid-90s, and several years of the dancers meeting in Bay Shore, the group brought their love for folk danc-ing to Smithtown.

Goold said there are approximately a dozen or more members on any Sunday night who are more than happy to help newcomers learn the 15 or 20 dances a night. He said dance leader Ching-Hui Wu teaches twice a month. On other nights, called co-ops, the members take turns showing their fellow dancers their favorite numbers. “That’s a lot of fun, be-cause we have cooperation. If one person forgets a dance or something like that, somebody else will help them out. So, it’s a very friendly group,” Goold said.

Margaret Foster, a member since the 90s, said she has enjoyed the variety of teachers throughout the years who have shared their specialties. Besides dances from America, there are also pieces from Scotland, Scandinavia, Israel, Bulgaria and other countries. “We enjoy learning some-thing about the dances and the culture of the different places,” Foster said.

Goold said that helping people under-stand other ethnic groups through dance was a mission of the Hermans. Their mot-to was: “You can’t hate people when you’re doing their dances.”

Juanita Wetherell, who joined the group about 20 years ago, said she took a few years off to take care of family members. When she returned to the group, she was looking forward to dancing again but was doubtful she could remember the steps.

“When I first came back, I was think-ing, ‘I haven’t danced in so long. I’m not going to remember any of the steps. I’m going to be the newbie all over again.’ Yet, I remembered somebody saying, ‘you listen to the music and your feet are go-ing to know what to do’. And, you know, that’s pretty much what happened. The music tells you,” Wetherell said.

Her return reminded the dancer of her early days, when she was confused about rhythms and patterns. Wetherell said Goold’s wife Kathy, a former dance leader, would sit her down next to her and just show her the footwork. The dancer said learning the steps first while sitting made it easier once she joined other dancers on the floor.

Foster said the leaders go over the se-quences, so those who have never folk danced before can easily learn. “You can come and learn as you go, and you’ll en-joy doing what you can and then you’ll learn more. You’ll start getting used to it next time. It’s the sort of thing that grows on you,” the group member said.

Ziggie Wielunski, a former dance lead-er, and his wife Alice have been dancing since 1947 and have been members of the Sunday Nite Folk Dancers since the group started meeting on the South Shore. Zig-gie explained that folk dances are not that intricate, so anyone interested should come to the barn and try out the dances. Alice added, “The important thing is not to give up after the first time, but to come for a number of times, and you’ll find each time it’s easier and easier.”

The Sunday Nite Folk Dancers meet every Sunday from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., except the third Sunday of July and the month of August, at the Smithtown His-torical Society Frank Brush Barn located at 211 Main Street in Smithtown. The fee is $8 and no partner is needed. All ages and dance levels are welcomed. For more information, call 516-781-3552 or 631-589-4203.

“Strength is what appeals mostly to me in art. The work can be any medi-um, style, subject or size; however, in the end, the work must have power.” These words were spoken by David H. Reuss, an experienced illustrator, fine artist, comic artist, and writer — all oc-cupations which have made him more than qualified to serve as juror for the Smithtown Township Arts Council’s upcoming 37th Annual Juried Fine Art Exhibition at the Mills Pond House in St. James, appropriately entitled “Power and Strength in Art.”

Reuss’s emphasis on powerful art may be connected to his admiration for the late comic book artist, John Buscema, well known not only for depicting physi-cally strong Marvel comic book charac-ters like Thor and Conan the Barbarian, but for his punchy, bold, and romanti-cized visual style. Regarding what he learned from taking art classes taught by Buscema at the Mills Pond House, Reuss said, “the infusion of power and strength in my work is the most consistent lesson I was taught by [Buscema] and it was what I was seeking in the works that I juried for this show.”

Reuss did not have to look far to find powerful artwork, as among the 40 art-ists whose work will be featured in the show, 28 are from Long Island and 5 are from New York City. However, this particular show does shine a wider light on American art, as six of the featured artists hail from places throughout the country as wide-ranging as Florida (Linda Trope) and California (Tonya Amyrin Rice). According to Executive

Director of STAC, Allison Cruz, this national sphere allows local artists to “get their work under different eyes” and gives national artists the opportu-nity to exhibit in a desirable place. “The epitome of being in the contemporary art world is to exhibit in New York,” Cruz said.

As variable as the homes of the art-ists are the mediums which they use — acrylic, watercolor, oil, pencil, pastel, and ink are just some of the mediums highlighted in this show. Cruz said, “[Reuss] has selected a very wide variety of art. There’s no central theme except for strength of the piece, that it could just draw the viewer in. Whether you loved it or you hated it, you looked at it.” Though different mediums and styles make each artist’s work unique, each

piece exhibited does have an essence of strength. How this strength is achieved and depicted, however, varies.

Some artwork, like David Herman’s acrylic painting, “Revolt, Seyithem-ba” and Eleanor Himel’s oil painting, “Morning Walk,” showcase vibrant con-trasting colors contained by bold, solid shapes, while other pieces, like Cesar Delos Santos’ oil painting, “Lovers in 5th Avenue,” and Emilie Lee’s oil paint-ing, “Fortitude,” dramatically display subjects with emotion-wrought facial expressions. Still other pieces carry a subtler power. Eric Chimon’s watercolor landscape, “Chesapeake Bay Boat,” uses a color scheme of muted blues and grays and elicits a quiet sense of dread, evoca-tive of the calm before a storm.

Regarding the artists, Cruz said, “We

have a lot of new artists in this show who I’m not familiar with, and to me, that’s the best thing. It’s always nice for local artists to be able to associate with artists who have never been here before. I think it’s good for Suffolk County, good for Long Island, and good for the artists. It’s a win-win-win.”

“Power and Strength in Art” will be on view at the Mills Pond House Gal-lery, 660 Route 25A, St. James, from June 27 to July 22. The gallery is open Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. (closed on July 4 and 5). The public is invited to an opening reception on Saturday, June 27, from 2 to 4 p.m. to meet the artists. For more information, call 631-862-6575 or visit www.stacarts.org.

Volleyball announces tough 2015 scheduleTh e Stony Brook volleyball team re-

leased its 2015 schedule, which includes a match against defending national champi-on, Penn State University at the Penn State Classic, and a trip to California to compete in the LBSU/LMU Mizuno Invitational.

“We are really excited about the up-coming 2015 season,” Stony Brook head coach Coley Pawlikowski said. “In our third season here, my staff and I have put together an incredibly challenging and aggressive schedule. We are excited to open up our season at the home of the defending national champions, Penn State, where we will also play SUNY ri-val, University of Buff alo, and Villanova. We are also taking two of our seniors back to their home state of California to play in front of their friends and families at Long Beach State University.

Th e Seawolves went 17-15 last season, losing in the conference tournament to

eventual America East champion Uni-versity of New Hampshire. Stony Brook will host 12 home matches, including three in the annual Seawolves Invite from Sept. 18-19. Th e fi rst chance to see the Seawolves in Pritchard Arena will be on Sept. 8 when they host in-state rival Hofstra University at 7 p.m.

“As we continue to defi ne our identity and culture here at Stony Brook, being a sustainably high-level program is our goal,” Pawlikowski said. “Th ere is no bet-ter way to get better than to play the best, and we are excited for our athletes to have the experiences that our schedule will provide. Th is year’s schedule will chal-lenge us on a new level and prepare us to open up America East play this fall.”

Highlighting the schedule is a match against defending national champion Penn State University on Aug. 29

Stony Brook adds Gleason to staff

Stony Brook volleyball head coach Col-ey Pawlikowski has announced the addi-tion of Donald Gleason to her staff as an assistant coach.

Gleason joins the Seawolves aft er spend-ing the 2014-15 year as an assistant coach at the University of Buff alo. He also spent two years as an assistant at Yale University and a spring as the volunteer assistant at the University of Southern California.

“We are excited to welcome Don to the Seawolves family,” Pawlikowski said. “Don has been a part of successful programs and brings a skill set that compliments our staff well. His passion about bettering his ath-

letes and those around him is contagious and exciting. He has an extensive tech-nological background and we are looking forward to further incorporating those strengths into our program.”

In addition to his previous seasons as a collegiate coach, Gleason has served as a club coach with Club Troy, Niagara Frontier Vol-leyball Club and Paradigm Volleyball Club. He also has had roles at the international level. He was the technical coordinator for Jamaican National team last May and has worked at three diff erent Team USA High Performance camps around the country.

“I am incredibly proud to be a member of the Seawolf family,” Gleason said. “Th e vision that Coley and [assistant coach] Dan [Pawlikowski] have for this program is am-bitious and exciting, and you can see the progress they’ve made in just two seasons. Th e players have embraced a team-fi rst cul-ture, so I know great things lie ahead for the Stony Brook volleyball program and I am excited to positively contribute as we continue to build.”

Gleason earned his bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in industrial engineer-ing from the Rochester Institute of Technol-ogy. He graduated with his master’s degree in 2011 and was the coach and captain of the school’s men’s club volleyball team.

By Daniel Dunaief

Mind control may not be unique to scriptwriters, hyp-notists or even, as it turns out, humans. A parasitic wasp may have teamed up with a virus to turn an unsuspecting ladybug into a meal ticket and a sentry for its developing larva.

Wasps inject their larva into a ladybug where they turn the in-sect’s body fat into food for their young. When the larva extracts itself from the abdomen of the ladybug and spins a cocoon in which it pupates into an adult wasp, the ladybug remains in place on top of the cocoon, de-terring predators by twitching.

These parasitized ladybugs often recover from the inva-sion, repairing the external and neurological damage.

Nolwenn M. Dheilly, who spe-cializes in studying host-parasite interactions and is interested in the role of associated microor-ganisms, discovered the pres-ence of the virus in this convo-luted story of parasite and host.

Dheilly showed that the virus is transmitted to the ladybug during parasitism and the vi-rus copies itself in the nervous system of the ladybug, whose

immune system is suppressed during the invasion.

Dheilly, who will join Stony Brook University as an assis-tant professor in August from her native France, is part of a six-person multidepartment hire in genomics led by Bas-sem Allam, a professor at Stony Brook in the School of Atmo-spheric and Oceanic Sciences (SoMAS) and Jackie Collier, an associate professor at SoMAS.

“The search committee and my colleagues at SoMAS were impressed by the quality of [Dheilly’s] work and the forward thinking of her ideas,” explained Allam. She “brings state-of-the-art research tools to answer questions pertaining to the evo-lution of symbiotic associations.”

Lessons in middle school and high school biology classes often include a discussion of symbiot-ic relationships, which come in three different types: parasitism, like the wasp and the ladybug, mutualism, where both organ-isms benefit, and commensal-ism, where one benefits and the other neither benefits nor is harmed. Dheilly said the clas-sification of symbiosis does not account for the inherent com-plexity in nature, where there is

much more of a continuum from mutualism to parasitism.

Dheilly’s work suggests that other organisms, like the virus for the parasitic wasp, may af-fect the output of the infection.

“Many other parasites may use other microorganisms, in-cluding viruses, as partners,” Dheilly said. Many protozoan parasites, including human pathogens such as Plasmodium, are associated with viruses, she said. When a parasite infects its host, it can become co-infected with the virus.

“It remains to be demonstrat-ed if these viruses are used as bi-ological weapons,” Dheilly said.

To be sure, in the case of the wasp, the ladybug and the virus, Dheilly cautioned that other studies are necessary be-fore completing a relationship diagram that specifies the way the virus and wasp might work together during parasitism.

“Many complementary stud-ies are now necessary to dem-onstrate who between the wasp and the virus” is responsible for the particular effect on the lady-bug,” she said. “We believe that the virus alone would be elimi-nated by the [ladybug’s] immune system and wouldn’t be able to induce the paralysis. We have no idea if the parasitoid wasp would be able to infect the [ladybug] without its associated virus.”

When Dheilly arrives on Aug. 12, she and Allam plan to work together to study disease susceptibility in oysters. They would like to study the role of mucosal secretions in early host-symbiont interactions.

Dheilly attributes some of her

interest in marine science to her upbringing in Brest, Brittany, in northwestern France, which, she said, is much like Long Island. When she was young, Dheilly competed in windsurfing com-petitions and, later, worked for several summers as a windsurf-ing instructor. In her windsurf-ing days, Dheilly was the only girl at most competitions. Her windsurfing experience “made sure I had the right personality to be involved in an environ-ment surrounded by men and

not feeling as if I didn’t fit in.”Dheilly explained that un-

derstanding viruses and micro-organisms extends beyond the world of invertebrates.

“The co-evolution of host and parasites with microorganisms is applicable to any biological system, including humans,” she said. Even though she will focus most of her work at Stony Brook on marine organisms, she said she “would be happy to collabo-rate with researchers in other fields to verify my hypotheses.”

The Ballet Education and Scholarship Fund, Inc. (BESFI) has announced the top winners of its annual scholarship competition held May 31 in conjunction with the BESFI Intensive Summer Workshop. The competition was judged by a panel of seven distinguished adjudicators who awarded $5,000 in total prizes.

In the Senior Division, Jenna Lee of Kings Park was the first-place winner and was awarded $600. Second-place winner Grace Jeffrey of New Suffolk received a $400 award and third-place winner Sarah Santarsiero of Kings Park garnered $250. The Junior Division was led by Diana Atoian of Holbrook with an $800 award, followed by Graciella Carrero-Sag-ona of Huntington and Ava Aubé of Hampton Bays with nearly identical scores and each winning $600 scholarships. Madison Mursch of Smithtown, Eva Pyrros of Port Jefferson and Brianna Jimenez of East Setauket each captured $450 awards.

According to BESFI President Dimitri Papadakos, “The geographic diversity of the BESFI scholarship winners is a testament to the wide-spread appeal of the BESFI Summer Program.”

Celebrating its 36th anniversary, the BESFI Intensive Summer Workshop in St. James is a six-week ballet program held annually during the last two weeks of July and four weeks in August.

‘Dear Mother Cloud’By Alanna WuGrade 3, The Laurel Hill School, St. JamesDear mother cloud, must I evaporate?I fear I might never fall with the other droplets again.And yet I dream; exploring the oceans and waterfalls of the world.Swimming like a fish in the deep blue lake.Flowing with the gushing water of the river. And in the vast ocean, I shall fly with the crashing waves.And then under the stifling sunI disappear into an oblivion that no one knows.I’ll be back soon raining down drip drop drip dropAs I fall once again.A lonely drop of water.*This poem earned Alanna the title of Grand Champion for Category A - Individual Poem Grades 3 & 4 in the Walt Whitman Birthplace Young Poet Contest 2015 “Voice of the Elements.”
