Current and former members of the Harbormen Chorus are warming up for a special luncheon scheduled on Aug. 13 at Lombardi’s on the Sound in Port Jeffer-son. The North Brookhaven chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, well known in the area for its four-part harmony cho-rus and quartet performances, is celebrat-ing its 50th anniversary and decades of musical memories.

Chapter president Fred Conway is look-ing forward to the celebration commemorat-ing decades of business in the community. “I don’t think there are a lot of organizations in Brookhaven, especially in North Brookhav-en, that have achieved that,” he said.

Conway said on hand for the anniver-sary luncheon will be Chris Moritz and Ray Gape, the chapter’s first musical director and president, respectively, who in 1965 took out an ad looking for men who were interesting in singing. Also, on hand will be Don Van der Kolk who was a member of the Three Village Four Quartet along with Moritz, Gape and the late Bill MacDevitt.

The organization, which officially became a chapter in 1966 of what was then known as the Society for the Preservation and En-couragement of Barbershop Quartet Sing-ing in America Inc., held its first meeting in 1965. That meeting drew a handful of poten-tial members, and by their first performance in the fall of 1966, there were approximately two dozen men performing. In early 1967, the group had its first annual show.

Since then the Harbormen’s barbershop quartets have performed at the Good Shep-herd Hospice Memorial Service, the Port Jef-ferson Village Dickens Festival, the annual

Brookhaven Town Fair, New York Mets and Long Island Ducks baseball games, as well as offered Singing Valentine quartets to ser-enade local sweethearts.

The chorus, which meets every Monday at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Stony Brook, is open to men of all ages, who are interested in singing a cappella versions of Doo Wop, show tunes, love songs and oth-er old favorites, even if they can’t read music.

Conway, who has been a member for 47 years, said his experience with the group is a perfect example of how one doesn’t need to read music. He was sitting on a crate in his new first house in Rocky Point while watching Super Bowl III when his neighbor knocked on his door and asked if he had seen the announcement in a newspaper. Conway said the ad asked: “Do you like to sing in the shower or in a bar?” “So the two of us went to the chapter meeting, and I stayed there ever since,” Conway said.

He said it took him three years before he could sing in a quartet due to not being a music reader. Since then he has been in nine registered quartets, including his cur-rent group Antiquity. Conway, who sings lead, uses a tape recorder to learn. “I form the quartet around myself being a weak link. Those other three guys they all play piano and organ and guitar and they read music, understand music,” he said.

On June 27 the chorus celebrated its first graduating class of “Ready, Set, Sing,” which included 14 men from college to retirement age interested in singing. Conway said the program is a “teaching mechanism.”

“The stipulation was that you have a love of music. You didn’t have to read music or really understand the science involved in it,” Conway said.

Chorus Director Rob Ozman said they don’t turn interested singers away as long as they can carry a tune and like to sing. “It’s nice if someone has a little bit of basic abil-ity, and you just teach them everything they need to know to be able to sing, to work in the chorus,” he said.

The chapter’s director, a music teacher at Mattituck-Cutchogue school district, Ozman started in the chorus in 1980 and in 1981 became music director. He stepped down as director in 1995 to raise his family and was replaced by Antiquity member Gary Wilson as director. He returned a year and a half ago to direct the singers once again.

With over 30 current members as well as former members on hand for the luncheon on Aug. 13, there will be plenty of stories to share. Among Ozman’s favorite memo-ries with the Harbormen is a visit to a local hospital to sing to patients during Christmas-time. “There was a young woman who was in a coma and we went into the room, and we were singing for her and she woke up in the middle of the singing. She had been out for quite a while, a number of weeks. And, I’m not saying that we brought her out of it either, we may have just happened to be there at the time, but it’s sure was kind of neat to think well maybe there was just something about it that registered in her brain and woke her up,” Ozman said.

Like Ozman, chapter secretary David Lance, a member for 10 years, has many favorite memories from his years with the chorus. One is a show the group performed in 2012, “Return of the Pirate Chorus.” The chapter secretary said the singers donned pi-rate costumes while singing parodies such as “Don’t Walk the Gang Plank” to the tune of “Under the Boardwalk.”

He said the Good Shepherd Hospice Memorial Services, where they perform “Irish Blessing” and “I Believe” twice a year, are also special to him. Over the last few years, the Harbormen Chorus has do-nated part of the proceeds, totaling over $16,000, from their annual show to the health care organization.

“The Good Shepherd Hospice Memorial is the most moving of all because when we sing for them it gives them such encourage-ment and comfort,” Lance said.

The singer added that anytime the audi-ence responses to the music that “appeals to an older crowd but is not only for them” is a good memory for him. He said they have had many great responses with people sing-ing along, especially at nursing homes. He has witnessed a patient in a wheelchair standing up to direct the chorus and one pa-tient that was practically catatonic perking up upon hearing a song.

Ozman said one of the interesting things about singing in a barbershop quartet for him has been meeting people from all differ-ent backgrounds. He said sharing an interest in the four-part harmony genre has brought so many people together.

“You can meet up with people you don’t know, you never sang with them before, but you can sing a song together,” Ozman said.

Among its milestone anniversary ac-tivities this year, the chorus will also hold its 50th anniversary annual show at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Stony Brook in Setauket on Oct. 15 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. For more informa-tion about the Harbormen Chorus and its 50th anniversary party at Lombardi’s on the Sound, call 631-476-6558 or visit www.harbormen.org.

AT PORT JEFFERSON July 7th – July 14th

By BoB Lipinski

“Drink because you are happy, but never because you are miserable.”

— G.K. Chesterton, Heretics

If you’re like me, you probably enjoy cocktails year-round and perhaps you may even have a favorite one or even two. When I entertain specialty, cocktails abound replete with fancy names, a multi-tude of ingredients and compliments.

I thought I’d share with you some of my homemade cocktails that will satisfy even the pickiest palate. However, in order for the cocktails to smell and taste authentic, the brands and measurements listed below must be followed.

Key Lime Pie Cocktail p

2 parts Cruzan Vanilla Rum1 part pineapple juice1/2 part Rose’s Lime JuiceSplash Sprite (not diet)

Mix or shake the first three ingredients with ice, add Sprite, quickly stir and enjoy.

Bourbon MargaritaUse the same ingredients as you would

for a margarita, except substitute bourbon for tequila and rim the glass with sugar in-stead of salt.

Tom Collins1 (6-ounce) can frozen lemonade1 (6-ounce) can of gin2 (12-ounce) cans of lemon sodaSeveral sprigs of mint

Blend the first two ingredients, then stir in the soda and garnish with a sprig of mint.

Piña Colada MartiniEqual parts of…Cruzan Pineapple RumCruzan Coconut Rum

Shake with ice and pour into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a wedge of fresh pineapple

Sours1 (6-ounce) can frozen lemonade1 (6-ounce) can water1 (6-ounce) can whiskey (any type)

Blend with plenty of ice and serve in a chilled glass. Top with a cherry.

Bob’s Blender MargaritaUse the same ingredients for your tra-

ditional margarita, except substitute fresh lemon juice for the lime juice and before cutting the lemon, zest the outer skin and add to the blender. The cocktail will be slightly tart with an incredible aroma and flavor of fresh lemon.

Limoncello1 dozen large lemons1-liter bottle 80-proof vodka2 cups white sugar3 cups cold water

Peel thin strips of lemon, avoiding the white pith. Macerate the peels in vodka for two weeks. Strain the liquid removing the peel. Make simple syrup by dissolving sugar in water over medium heat. Once the syrup is cooled, add it to the lemon-infused vodka. Mix and allow to settle for 24 hours, then chill and serve.

Cheesecake CocktailSmells and tastes exactly like cheesecake!

2 parts Cruzan Vanilla RumOne part each of pineapple juice and

cranberry juice

Blend or shake with ice and serve in a cocktail glass.

Vodka Punch12 ounces of 80 proof vodka2 (6-ounce) cans of frozen lemonade2 cans of orange juice (use empty lemonade cans)1 bottle seltzer (33 ounces)1 bottle ginger ale (33 ounces)1 can (16 ounces) pineapple chunks,

drained24 pitted maraschino cherries, drained

Mix the above ingredients with a wood-en spoon, add ice cubes, chill and serve.

By the way … I’ll be over later for a vod-ka martini, “shaken, not stirred!”

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

Diabetes: How to change courseConsuming fresh fruit can help control sugars

David Dunaief, M.D.

What causes type 2 diabetes? It would seem like an obvious answer: obesity, right?

Well, obesity is a contributing factor but not necessarily the only factor. This is important because the prevalence of dia-betes is at epidemic levels in the United States, and it continues to grow. The lat-est statistics show that about 13.3 percent of the U.S. population aged 20 or older has type 2 diabetes, and about 9.3 per-

cent when factoring all ages. For those 65 and older, the preva-lence is considerably higher, at 25.9 per-cent (1).

Not only may obe-sity play a role, but sugar by itself, sed-entary lifestyle and visceral (abdominal) fat may also contrib-ute to the pandemic. These factors may not be mutually ex-clusive, of course.

We need to differentiate among sugars, because form is important. Sugar and fruit are not the same with respect to their ef-fects on diabetes, as the research will help clarify. Sugar, processed foods and sugary drinks, such as fruit juices and soda, have a similar effect, but fresh fruit does not.

Sugar’s impactSugar may be sweet, but it also may be

a bitter pill to swallow when it comes to its effect on the prevalence of diabetes. In an epidemiological (population-based) study, the results show that sugar may increase the prevalence of type 2 diabetes by 1.1 percent worldwide (2). This seems like a small percentage, however, we are talk-ing about the overall prevalence, which is around 9.3 percent in the U.S., as noted in the introduction.

Also, the amount of sugar needed to create this result is surprisingly low. It takes about 150 calories, or one 12-ounce can of soda per day, to potentially cause this rise in diabetes. This is looking at sug-ar on its own merit, irrespective of obesity, lack of physical activity or overconsump-tion of calories. The longer people were consuming sugary foods, the higher the incidence of diabetes. So the relationship was a dose-dependent curve. Interestingly, the opposite was true as well: As sugar was less available in some countries, the risk of diabetes diminished to almost the same extent that it increased in countries where it was overconsumed.

In fact, the study highlights that cer-tain countries, such as France, Romania and the Philippines, are struggling with the diabetes pandemic, even though they

don’t have significant obesity issues. The study evaluated demographics from 175 countries, looking at 10 years’ worth of data. This may give more bite to municipal efforts to limit the availability of sugary drinks. Even steps like these may not be enough, though. Before we can draw de-finitive conclusion from the study, howev-er, there need to be prospective (forward-looking) studies.

The effect of fruitThe prevailing thought has been that

fruit should only be consumed in very modest amounts in patients with — or at risk for — type 2 diabetes. A new study challenges this theory. In a randomized controlled trial, newly diagnosed diabetes patients who were given either more than two pieces of fresh fruit or fewer than two pieces had the same improvement in glucose (sugar) levels (3). Yes, you read this correctly: There was a benefit, regard-less of whether the partici-pants ate more fruit or less fruit.

This was a small trial with 63 patients over a 12-week period. The average patient was 58 and obese, with a BMI of 32 (less than 25 is normal). The research-ers monitored hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), which pro-vides a three-month mean percentage of sugar levels.

It is very important to emphasize that fruit juice and dried fruit were avoid-ed. Both groups also lost a significant amount of weight while eating fruit. The authors, therefore, recommended that fresh fruit not be re-stricted in diabetes patients.

What about cinnamon?It turns out that cinnamon, a spice

many people love, may help to prevent, improve and reduce sugars in diabetes. In a review article, the authors discuss the importance of cinnamon as an insulin sen-sitizer (making the body more responsive to insulin) in animal models that have type 2 diabetes (4).

Cinnamon may work much the same way as some medications used to treat type 2 diabetes, such as GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists. The drugs that raise GLP-1 levels are also known as in-cretin mimetics and include injectable drugs such as Byetta (exenatide) and Vic-toza (liraglutide). In a study with healthy volunteers, cinnamon raised the level of GLP-1 (5). Also, in a randomized control

trial with 100 participants, 1 gram of cas-sia cinnamon reduced sugars significantly more than medication alone (6). The data is far too preliminary to make any com-parison with FDA-approved medications. However it would not hurt, and may even be beneficial, to consume cinnamon on a regular basis.

Sedentary lifestyleWhat impact does lying down or sit-

ting have on diabetes? Here, the risks of a sedentary lifestyle may outweigh the ben-efits of even vigorous exercise. In fact, in a recent study, the authors emphasize that the two are not mutually exclusive in that people, especially those at high risk for the disease, should be active throughout the day as well as exercise (7).

So in other words, the couch is “the worst deep-fried food,” as I once heard it said, but sitting at your desk all day and lying down also have negative effects. This coincides with articles I’ve written on exercise and weight loss, where I noted that people who moderate-ly exercise and also move around much of the day are likely to lose the greatest amount of weight.

Thus, diabetes is mostly likely a disease caused by a multitude of factors, includ-ing obesity, sedentary life-style and visceral fat. The good news is that many of these factors are modifiable. Cinnamon and fruit seem to be two factors that help decrease this risk, as does

exercise, of course.As a medical community, it is impera-

tive that we reduce the trend of increasing prevalence by educating the population, but the onus is also on the community at large to make at least some lifestyle modi-fications. So America, take an active role.

By Daniel Dunaief

Finding a proverbial needle in a haystack isn’t as hard as it once was. In fact, finding a needle with specific qualities has also be-come easier. Manufacturers and drug com-panies are constantly searching for a specific substance, whether it’s a drug that targets

one part of an invading fun-gus or bacteria or a molecule that binds to a particularly harmful gas.

Indeed, it is in this lat-ter category where John Parise, a dis-tinguished re-search profes-sor with joint appointments

in geosciences and chemistry at Stony Brook University, and a team from Stony Brook, Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Law-rence Berkeley National Laboratory and Pa-cific Northwest National Laboratory recently shared their use of a metal organic frame-work, called SBMOF-1, that selectively binds to xenon, a gaseous by-product of nuclear reactions. Their findings, which were pub-lished recently in the journal Nature Com-munications, may point to a more effective and environmentally friendly way to manage nuclear waste.

“This [substance] is 70 times more effec-tive than the current way scientists remove this dangerous gas,” said Parise, who has a joint appointment in photon sciences at BNL. “It allows krypton to pass through, but it re-tains xenon.” Parise said it acts like a sponge absorbing water until all the pores are filled, which can then be wrung out by passing a gas like nitrogen over it.

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, including Debasis Banerjee, who helped create this molecule when he was a graduate student at SBU, are continuing to work on this material.

The route SBMOF-1 took to becoming a potential xenon filter underscores the collab-orative nature of a process that blends basic science with engineering, manufacturing, theory and potential commercial application.

Banerjee won the President’s Award as a distinguished doctoral student at Stony Brook for his research, which involved creating this framework in 2012. When Banerjee designed this material, he didn’t have xenon or nuclear energy on his mind — he was focused on try-ing to extract carbon dioxide at room tem-peratures in a humid environment during in-dustrial processes. “We tested this material on numerous gases except xenon,” Parise said.

What they did that led to the next step, however, was critical to the search scientists at Berkeley were conducting to find their pro-verbial needle. The Berkeley researchers were looking for a better way to remove xenon from nuclear waste. The Stony Brook scien-tists put their compound in a searchable data-base online, which met the criteria the Berke-ley scientists had established in their search.

Instead of trying to create something new, however, the Berkeley scientists did the equivalent of digging through massive piles

of haystacks to search for something that already existed, perhaps for a different pur-pose, that might be a candidate for the job. Sure enough, they found SBMOF-1.

“While experimentally we need to sift through a fair amount of ‘hay’ — the com-puter, once programmed correctly (and this is nontrivial) works rapidly to locate the needle,” Parise said.

Indeed, when the theory met the re-ality, krypton passed through in 10 to 15 minutes, while xenon remained trapped for close to an hour. A nuclear facility can blow air back through the material and re-cover most of the xenon, Parise explained.

“It’s a beautiful compound and is so much better than anything else,” Parise said, although he cautioned that “it’s not to say something else can’t do better.”

In making the material, Bernjee started looking at sodium and calcium and phenyl ring compounds. He set out to create some-thing that was environmentally friendly.

Banerjee is continuing to work on nu-clear energy at PNNL. He reflected posi-tively on his experiences at Stony Brook University, where he conducted research from 2007 to 2012. “Stony Brook is a great place to work, particularly for research,” he explained in an email. “I still actively collaborate with [Parise’s] group.”

He described Parise as a “great men-tor” and said many of his current col-laborators share a similar background of working in Parise’s lab. Banerjee’s scientific teammates are either in differ-ent national laboratories or are at other universities.

Parise is a strong advocate of the process that led to this uniting of theory and prac-tice. This procedure will give the United States a research and development edge, because the theory makes the experiments more effective and the more effective ex-perimental results reinforce the theory.

Parise works together with people like Artem Oganov, a professor in the Depart-ment of Geosciences at Stony Brook. They are exploring new compounds to split water from sunlight. “Computational ma-terials discovery is an ongoing scientific revolution,” explained Oganov in an email. “Calculations are playing an increasingly critical role in materials science.”

Oganov said Parise is “known as a very cre-ative and most versatile synthetic chemist.” Ba-nerjee added that Parise “has major contribu-tions in the field of materials characterization using X-ray and neutron diffraction.”

A native of North Queensland, Austra-lia, Parise started working at SBU in 1989. He is married to Alyse Parise, who is a busi-ness coach and psychotherapist, who has a private practice in Setauket. Residents of Poquott, the Parises enjoy the beaches and kayaking on Long Island. At the end of July, they will join friends to raft down the Salmon River in Idaho.

As for his work, Parise said he is dedi-cated to determining how the structure of compounds are arranged. “We’re interest-ed in where the atoms are” in a wide range of materials, he said.

Frank Melville Memorial Park

By Katelyn Winter

Peaceful. The word most commonly used to describe Setauket’s Frank Melville Memo-rial Park captures the tranquil nature scene you find around every bend in the trail.

With turtles sunning themselves on logs in the daytime and deer rustling in the brush just before dusk, the park is a sanc-tuary for wildlife. According to the park’s newsletter, the Four Harbors Audubon So-ciety, which holds a bird walk at the park on the second Saturday of every month, recorded 76 bird species over the past year. One of the main reasons so many creatures can be seen is simply the atmosphere. On the sign at the entryway to the park, the informative bullet points end in a gentle reminder: Quiet please.

Frank Melville Memorial Park’s gates have been open to the public for 79 years. In 1937, the park was formally dedicated after years of work by Jennie MacConnell Mel-ville and local philanthropist Ward Melville, the wife and son of Frank Melville. The park was added to the National Register of His-toric Places on July 19, 2010.

The Melville family loved to spend their summers in the Stony Brook area and even had an estate, named Sunwood, built in Old

Field in 1919. It is fitting that the place they designed and built to memorialize a loving father and husband would turn into such a picturesque and beloved park by Three Vil-lage residents and visitors alike.

“I’ve been coming here for almost ten years. It’s only her second year, though,” said Kaleigh Gorman, motioning to her dog, Dakota, when they were out walking one warm Wednesday evening. “I love how peaceful and scenic the park is and all the memories that are made here.”

There is definitely a lot of room to make memories. With 24 stunning acres to ex-plore, the park is made up of a looping path around the pond and trails that wind through the bamboo forest and the mead-ows behind the Bates Barn, known lo-cally as “the red barn.” Constructed in the 1920s, the wood for the barn came from buildings at Camp Upton near Yaphank, which was torn down after WWI. A com-munity garden with its own apiary and the Bates House, which can be rented for private events, are just some of the park’s other charming features.

Visitors can go for a jog around the pond, stopping to stretch out on the stone bridge with a view of both the pond and the marshlands, or sit on one of several benches

that line the edge of the pond under large shade trees. Just to the side of that bridge is the Setauket Mill, a simulated mill with a working water wheel. Built in 1937, it was designed by architect Richard Haviland Smythe, who also designed the Stony Brook Village Center, to represent the long line of mills that had existed on the pond as early as 1660. The building now serves as the park’s headquarters.

You should feel free to bring in snacks for a picnic, but keep in mind to carry out what you carry in, and never feed the wildlife. And watch out! That wildlife also includes a snapping turtle who will snap at anything that moves too close to his algae-covered face. He’s been around for ages. When I was just five years old, I thought I was looking at an otter emerging from the pond, until my mother realized it was the snapping turtle reaching out his long neck for a snack. The snapping turtle is by no means dangerous, though: just one more fun local “resident” to encounter. In fact, local resident Janet Morseman says that one of the reasons she loves coming to the Setauket park is be-cause of how “safe and peaceful” it is.

Whether you are out for a brisk walk, a jog or a leisurely stroll, the ground beneath your feet is always clean, and the park,

Frank Melville Memorial ParkHours: Open all year round from dawn to duskAddress: 1 Old Field Road, SetauketPhone number: Park Office: 631-689-6146 Bates House: 631-689-7054Website: www.frankmelvillepark.orgRules: No professional photography without park pass Dogs allowed on leash

which is located next to the post office and just a short walk from Patriot’s Rock and Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, is small and well-enough trafficked to feel very safe.

The rules and regulations of Frank Melville Memorial Park, a “Private Park for Public En-joyment,” are fairly lax and rely on common courtesy. If you’d like to ride your bike there, for example, it’s requested you stay on the paved pathway. Fishing in the pond requires you to join the Mill Pond Fishing Club, with a catch-and-release only policy.

And as far as photography in the park goes, anything more than snapping a picture of your kids with a cell phone (say, having a friend take your family holiday card photo at the park) means signing up to become a Friend of the Park and getting a photography pass. It will cost you $100 annually to be able to shoot photos in the park.

Those aren’t the only ways to take ad-vantage of Frank Melville Memorial Park, though — it has so much to offer. Classes on Tuesday mornings at the Bates Barn — usu-ally at 11 a.m. — are free ways to learn new skills, such as watercolor painting or have fun with a craft or scavenger hunt. One new opportunity is Walk-Yoga-Meditate-Choco-late, which is exactly what it sounds like. At 7 p.m. on Tuesday evenings through August 30, pre-registered participants will meet up in the Bates House parking lot to take a walk, practice yoga, mediate, and indulge in some chocolate. The class, by suggested donation, benefits the Community Growth Center. To learn more or register you can visit www.CommunityGrowthCenter.org or call 631-240-3471.

For those who are looking for a different way to relax, check out Wind Down Sundays, the park’s summer concert series held at the Bates Barn on Sunday evenings at 5:15 p.m. through Aug. 28. A variety of musicians will play classical, rock, jazz, reggae, R&B, and pop, which means there’s at least one Sun-day you won’t want to miss, depending on your taste! These events are family-friendly ways to get outside and experience some-thing new in a beautiful location.

So pack up the kids, or the dog, or just a water bottle, and see what Frank Melville Memorial Park has in store for you. You may discover a favorite jogging trail, the perfect bench for reading, or the cutest baby turtle you’ve ever seen. There’s so much to do and see, no matter the time of day. And that’s why Frank Melville Memorial Park is a treasure among us.

The “Culper Spy Adventure,” a special presentation by TBR News Media, is an immersive digital attraction that will allow locals and tourists alike to be recruited into the ranks of General Washington’s secret Setauket spy ring. Accessed by scanning a special QR code on a panel of the Three Village map due out later this summer, you will begin an interactive 45-minute jour-ney that puts you into the starring role of your very own secret spy adventure!

Become a time traveler as you arrive in the year 1780, crossing paths with legends and heroes: Abraham Woodhull, Anna Smith Strong, Caleb Brewster, George Washington himself! Enjoy interactive games between each episode that are filled to the brim with intrigue, action and fun!

Created with the whole family in mind, the “Culper Spy Adventure” is great for all ages. We are also offering a special American Sign Language version as well as a handicap-accessible edition! Join the revolution later this summer! I recently had the opportunity to sit down with David Morrissey Jr. who who plays Benjamin Tallmadge in this inter-active journey.

Who was Benjamin Tallmadge? He’s the young mind who organized the

Culper Spy Ring for General Washington. He originally was from Setauket and grew up with Caleb Brewster and Abraham Woodhull and acted as Washington’s direct connection with the spies. For most of the war he led a dragoon (cavalry) unit, and participated in

a lot of major battles. He was brave and was the very definition of patriot.

What was the most challenging part about bringing Tallmadge to life?

I’d say it must have been acting like someone with the leadership skills to orga-nize the Culper Spy Ring but yet still be a believable 26-year-old. Yeah, people grew up earlier back then, but it’s still so young to have done so much.

What’s your favorite memory from filming the ‘Culper Spy Adventure’?

My favorite memory is working with the reenactment soldiers (from the Third NY Regiment and the Huntington Militia), those guys are great. They know everything about the subject matter, so if you have a question about dialect or terms or anything they would definitely know it. Also, trying to get the words “whale fodder” out was a tough one for some reason, everyone on set got a good laugh about that one!

What do you think Benjamin Tallmadge would think about this project?

He’d probably think it was pretty cool, I mean you’d have to explain to him the whole film medium thing and how it works, but I’d imagine after introducing him to the concept he’d love the idea. It’d probably be pretty neat for him to relive an interpreta-tion of things that really happened to him!

Your ‘Culper Spy Adventure’ awaits!Production still from Circadian Studios and TBR News Media

Coming back homeThe Three Village Historical Soci-

ety in Setauket hosted a meet and greet with author Darlene Sells Treadwell last Sunday afternoon. Originally from Setauket, Treadwell, who lives in Georgia, was in town to promote her new family memoir, “The Bittersweet Taste of the American Dream,” which tells the true story of how her grand-mother’s corn bread recipe was stolen by a major baking company.

The event was standing room only as family members read excerpts from the book and Treadwell held a book signing. A copy of her book was offi-cially donated to Emma S. Clark Me-morial Library and the Three Village Historical Society for their collections. As a special treat, Karen Martin, ar-chivist for the TVHS, baked corn muf-fins using Treadwell’s grandmother’s original recipe for all to try and they were delicious!

Copies of “The Bittersweet Taste of the American Dream” are available for purchase at the Three Village Histori-cal Society’s Gift Shop. For more in-formation, please call 631-751-3730.

Back in 1964-1965 some very excited New Yorkers (as well as visitors from all over the world) attended the World’s Fair held in Queens. The last time a world’s fair was held in New York was 1939!

The 1960s was a time of the Beatles. It was the time of John Denver and other folk musicians. It was a time when the Vietnam War was escalating, a time of protest and peace marches. “Make Love Not War” and “Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way” were just some of the slo-gans commonly heard. It was a time of the early growth of Stony Brook Univer-sity, founded in 1957 in Oyster Bay and moved to the Stony Brook campus in 1962 on land donated by local philanthropist Ward Melville.

It was also a time when Long Island was growing by leaps and bounds. Hous-ing developments were springing up ev-erywhere, taking over former farmland. While the housing boom of the 1950s was felt in Nassau County, Suffolk’s boom took place in the 1960s.

The Long Island Museum’s new exhibit, Long Island in the Sixties, explores this decade of growth through clothing, photo-graphs and other items of popular culture. A large time line goes throughout the ex-hibit noting the events of the decade.

Exhibit curator and Director of Collec-tions and Interpretation Joshua Ruff said, “There are five video installations, several of which play music, most notably a film of the famous Beatles concert…”

Said Julie Diamond, museum direc-tor of communications, “One thing that struck me [in the exhibit] was a video of the Beatles playing at Shea Stadium. I was imagining myself being there, with

all those girls screaming.” One section of the exhibit focuses on clothing: the mod style of the ‘60s “and another more ele-gant, dressy section. All of the clothing is from our collection,” Diamond said. Piec-es were donated to the museum over the years. “It gives us a chance to bring out clothing which we don’t often see.”

gardening

By EllEn BarcEl

Have you seen a big, beautiful crop of yel-low flowers in late spring to early summer that keeps blooming throughout the sum-mer? Are you in love with them? Do you wonder what you need to plant to keep them going this way?

In particular, there are two flowers that start blooming in late spring and continue throughout the summer: coreopsis and Stel-la D’Oro daylilies. True yellow lilies bloom once, usually in early summer.

Coreopsis, also known as tickseed, are in the aster family. The daisy-like flowers come in a variety of colors especially intense yel-low. A herbaceous perennial, coreopsis is native to North, Central and South America. It’s a draw for butterflies since it is used as food for butterfly caterpillars. Hardy from U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 5 to 9, it’s drought tolerant, especially useful for surviving Long Island’s occasional droughts. Leave the seed heads on the plant in autumn since birds particularly like to eat the seeds. Coreopsis bloom best in full sun. They toler-ate a wide variety of soil types and environ-ments — no surprise here since they are na-tive to so many areas of the Americas. Plant beds can be divided every few years if they become overcrowded.

Stella D’Oro (Hemerocallis ‘Stella de Oro’) daylilies are not true lilies. The bloom lasts for one day only, but they are so prolific that the plant is covered with yellow, cup-shaped blooms from essentially May through August. Each bloom is borne on a separate stem. They are hardy in zones 3 through 10, so once planted and properly cared for will come back year after year. Since they’re low maintenance, occasional water in times of drought and some fertilizer (or compost) periodically will keep them growing, spread-

ing and blooming. Like so many showy flow-ers, they attract butterflies. These daylilies benefit from deadheading, removing spent blossoms, so the energy of the plant goes into making more flowers. Be careful here as spent flowers can look a lot like buds, so don’t accidentally remove the new buds coming in. Observe your plants for a few days so you can tell the difference. Note that ‘Happy Returns’ is another yellow daylily that reblooms. Daylilies do best in full sun in slightly acidic soil.

Lilies (Lillium) are true lilies. The bloom lasts for many days, not just one and is borne on the same stem as the leaves. They come in a wide varieties of colors including yel-low. They, too are perennials. ‘Connecticut King’ and ‘Yellow Ribbons’ are both yellow cultivars of lilies. Like Stella D’Oro, they can spread, forming a clump of plants. Many va-rieties of lilies are rated for climates as cold as zone 3 or 4 (Long Island is zone 7). Lilies are beautiful but, for the most part, do not rebloom throughout the summer.

If you want to have yellow flowers throughout the entire growing season, start with witch hazel and forsythia (both woody shrubs that bloom late winter and early spring) and daffodils. Then have a yellow rhodie (‘Capistrano,’ for example, is gor-geous). Coreopsis, yellow lilies and daylilies then appear (late spring and early summer) along with yellow roses. Finally, make sure you have plenty of black-eyed Susans and yellow mums for fall. Note that all of the above are either shrubs or herbaceous pe-rennials, the plant-once-and-enjoy ever after school of gardening.

business newsChamber launches Young Professionals Group

At a time when young Americans are becoming serious about voting and con-cerned about who will be the next presi-dent of the United States, the Smithtown Chamber of Commerce has launched a new organization within its 325+ mem-bership, The Young Professionals Group.

“I would like to welcome the Smith-town Chamber of Commerce’s Young Professionals Group to Long Island,” said Congressman Lee Zeldin. “This newly launched group will provide young pro-fessionals with a platform to get involved and make a difference in our local com-munity and is a great addition to the Long Island.”

“We recognize there are many chal-lenges these new millennials face on Long Island; such as affordable housing, job op-portunities, student loan debt, health care costs and connecting with businesses,” states Executive Director Barbara Franco. “The Smithtown Chamber plans to of-fer valuable connections that may present them with opportunities that merit their qualified backgrounds and education. For the past 28 years, the Smithtown Chamber of Commerce has been connecting quality networking opportunities and events for the business community. We know that with our momentum and reputation, we can offer a solid launch to attract a younger audience,” she added.

The chamber will host an Inaugural Kick-off Night for young millenials at the Hilton Long Island, 598 Broadhollow Road, Melville, on Thursday, July 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. The evening will fea-ture cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, pool-side networking, free professional head shots for your LinkedIn account and a special live DJ performance. Attire is summer chic and admission is free.

To register, visit www.smithtown-chamber.com and click on invitation. For further information, call 631-979-8069.

Coffee and beyondThe Stony Brook Village Center recently welcomed its

newest shop, the Village Coffee Market. Located in the Harbor Crescent section of the center, the retail coffee mar-ket opened last month to rave reviews. Customers can mix and match over 180 flavors for their K-cups or single-cup brewers to create their own custom box of favorite flavors.

The market will also feature “Take the Cakes” classic Chi-cago pancake house recipe pancake mixes, a host of gluten-free products, beans, ground coffee, espresso, gourmet cookies, a variety of gift baskets, coffee brewers, coffee mugs, sugar and creamer sets and much more. The Village Coffee Market is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. They can be reached at 631-675-9525.

Ruff added that there are several vi-gnettes, including “a stylish modernist Hamptons living room, filled with great con-temporary furnishings and art … and a mid-dle-class suburban living room with a wildly patterned couch [and] a 1965 Zenith color television set (the dawn of color TV).” The teenage girl’s bedroom, “includes a lot of pop culture artifacts (the Monkees, Beatles, a big record album collection, and all the types of objects you’d see in such a room in the late ‘60s).” There’s a section on that World’s Fair, President John F. Kennedy’s campaign on the Island and information on Grumman’s role in the 1960s.

Ruff noted, “We decided to do the ‘60s exhibition as an outgrowth of the success of a very popular Long Island in the 1950s exhibition that we did in 2012. In the last few years, we have also had a good number of significant donations of 1960s era art and artifacts which we wanted to find a way of showcasing.”

Ruff added that the exhibit includes some really notable artifacts, “the phone that John F. Kennedy used to call Robert Moses to get him to begin building the New York World’s Fair; parts from a lunar modular (antenna mount, strut, micro-shield, copper cables); and terrific dresses from famous designers including Emilio Pucci, Rudy Gernreich and Gino Charles.”

Also at the museum is a second exhibit, Common Ground: The Music Festival Expe-rience curated by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The two exhibits relate, “I think beau-tifully! There is a lot of content (Woodstock, Altamont, Newport Jazz Festival) in Com-mon Ground that is based in the 1960s … It was important for us to think of these two exhibitions as tied from the very beginning, and we chose to schedule them in this way intentionally,” said Ruff. Common Ground runs through Sept. 5.

This wonderful trip down memory lane will be at the Long Island Museum through Dec. 31. The museum, a Smithsonian af-filiate, is located at 1200 Route 25A, Stony Brook.

When you visit West Meadow Beach in Setauket this summer, be sure to “check out” a book from the Little Free Library, built by Emma Clark Library in partnership with the Town of Brookhaven and Park Ranger Molly Hastings. There’s no need for a library card or to return a book — this is a “take a book, leave a book” concept hosted by Emma Clark as part of an out-reach service to the community.

Library staff and the public will be contributing books for the sole purpose of the Little Free Library (books are not owned by Emma Clark — please don’t return your library books here!). The Little Free Library will be maintained by teen vol-unteers for the months of July and August and will be located under the pavilion at the beach. There is no need to live in Three Village to share in this give and take project, as long as you are a visitor at West Meadow Beach. The Little Free Library will simply enhance the friendly and hos-pitable feel that already exists in Three Village.

The Little Free Library at West Meadow Beach is registered on www.littlefreeli-brary.org and can be found on the site’s official map of all Little Free Libraries across the United States and 70 countries worldwide. For more information, call 631-941-4080.

Stony Brook women’s soccer’s senior mid-fielder Amy Thompson is making waves this summer playing for the Luxembourg national team. Thompson, who has made 20 appear-ances for her country, has seen time in Euro-pean and World Cup qualifiers, scored four goals and added two assists in two games against the United Arab Emirates this week.

“Being able to represent my country is an amazing feeling,” said Thompson. “Know-ing that I am doing what I love, as well as representing my country, is indescribable. Every game is filled with emotions of pride, joy, respect and passion.”

Thompson scored a goal and added two assists in Luxembourg’s 6-0 win over Unit-ed Arab Emirates, and then topped that performance with a hat trick in a 5-2 win just days later.

“These international games are played at a high level, physically, mentally, tacti-cally and technically,” she said. “They will prepare me for the level of play and work-load that is awaiting me in the fall.”

Thompson transferred to Stony Brook last year, making her debut for the Seawolves in the spring with two goals in five games.

“We are thrilled for Amy that she contin-ues to have opportunities to represent her

country at the international level,” Stony Brook head coach Brendan Faherty said. “She has a great mind for the game and the technical ability to solve problems.”

Former men’s basketball assistant coach Dan Rickard has joined the women’s basketball staff as the associate head coach.

Rickard served on the Seawolves’ men’s basketball staff for 11 seasons, being an as-sistant coach under former head coach Steve Pikiell since 2007.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dan to our women’s basketball program at Stony Brook University,” Stony Brook women’s basketball head coach Caroline McCombs said. “I’ve been fortunate to build a relationship with Dan over the past two years and have seen firsthand that his love for Stony Brook and his passion for coaching student-athletes is sec-ond to none. Dan played an integral role over the past 11 years in the success of our men’s basketball program and he will play a vital role in all aspects of our women’s basketball program moving forward.”

Rickard was a member of the staff that helped guide the men’s team to great success in the America East Conference, including four regular season championships, five straight 20 plus win seasons, and six postseason appear-ances, including this year’s NCAA berth.

As the offensive coordinator and back court coach, he mentored three of the top scorers in program history in All-Conference guards Bryan Dougher, Dave Coley and Car-son Puriefoy. Known as a strong recruiter, he was responsible for recruiting Coley, as well as Conference Player of the Year and National

Defensive Player of the Year Tommy Brenton.“I am so excited to once again join the Sea-

wolves’ family,” said Rickard. “Stony Brook is a special place and I am thrilled for the oppor-tunity to work with Coach McCombs and her staff. Over the last two years, I have watched Caroline work tirelessly to position the wom-en’s basketball program for long term success and I look forward to helping her realize her great vision for the future.”

Rickard is a Stony Brook alumnus who earned his Bachelor of Science in math in 2004, while a member of the Stony Brook men’s basketball team. He went on to earn his Master of Arts in liberal studies in 2006.

Head women’s soccer coach Brendan Faherty has announced the addition of two transfers and a German midfielder for the 2016 fall season. University of Vermont transfer Jordyn Klapper, Fairleigh Dickin-son University transfer Nikki Keicher, and German Lea Kalmbach will join the four members of Faherty’s recruiting class that signed on National Signing Day. The other newcomers are Sophia Morell, Jada Stew-art, Francesca Lee and Marissa Kelberman.

“We are happy to add these three stu-dent-athletes to our program for this fall,” said Faherty. “Each one of them has the necessary traits to find success on and off the field at Stony Brook.”

Klapper played in 13 games for the Catamounts as a freshman, starting one and landing on the America East Academic Honor Roll. She scored 25 goals and add-ed 15 assists in three seasons at Wantagh High School, leading the Warriors to the county semifinals for the first time in pro-gram history as a senior, and garnering All-County accolades for her efforts. She played club ball for the East Meadow Hur-ricanes, twice qualifying for the Elite Club National League National Finals.

Keicher, another local product, transfers to Stony Brook after appearing in 13 games as a freshman for the Northeast Conference Champion Fairleigh Dickinson Knights. She started six matches for the team, including their last four, totaling three assists, two of which came in the Northeast Conference semifinal. She was an All-Conference and All-County selection at East Meadow High School, earning All-State honors as a senior. She also played club soccer for East Mead-ow’s ECNL, but for Explosion.

“Nikki and Jordyn are both originally from Long Island and have found success at the Division I level at FDU and Vermont,” Fa-herty said. “We believe they will each be able to draw on their past experience to make a smooth transition into our program.”

Kalmbach most recently played for FC Staad in Switzerland and has also spent time with SV Alberweiler and TSV Tettnang in Germany, receiving a spot on the represen-tative team of Wurttemburg from 2011-15.

“Lea has had an opportunity to play at a high level in Germany and Switzerland and we believe she will be able to add a calming influence into our midfield,” Faherty said.

The three newcomers round out the

seven-member class that will join the 19 returning players from the 2015 roster. The Seawolves open the season at home against Bryant University on Aug. 19.
