Nothing defines a Long Island sum-mer more than lazy days at the beach. And even though autumn is settling in now, it’s still easy to imagine the sun on your face and the water lapping at your feet.

Huntington artist Bob DeSantis has made a career of capturing beloved memories on canvas. Now, art enthusi-asts of all kinds can imagine themselves in those scenes with an exhibit entitled Being There, currently on view at the Main Art Gallery at the Huntington Public Library.

“Most of my scenic pieces are fairly large, so when you hang them up in your home it’s like looking out your window and seeing, say, Shelter Island. That’s why people buy my paintings — they want to bring those feelings into their homes,” explains DeSantis, 69, who was born in Brooklyn but has spent most of his life on Long Island.

When you see DeSantis’ art for the first time, you might have to do a double take. Many of his paintings are photore-alistic — painted in a way that resembles actual photographs.

Art has been a part of DeSantis’ life for almost as long as he can remember — he even listed becoming a professional art-ist as his future goal in his high school yearbook. He went on to receive an as-sociate’s degree in commercial art from Farmingdale University (now Farming-dale State College) and a bachelor’s de-gree in fine art from Hofstra University in Hempstead.

That varied education enables De-Santis to combine the best practices of both fine art and modern technology, as he works with a combination of oil and acrylic paints as well as an airbrush for a smooth, almost flawless texture.

His lengthy career has included graphic design, commercial and fine art that’s been featured all over the coun-try. His paintings have been displayed in galleries and even on products like phone book covers and light boxes. He

also plays several musical instruments and was once a member of the band The Silvertones.

For the past 25 years, he’s worked as an art restorer, helping to correct and repair artwork that’s been damaged through aging or disasters. He has also worked closely with well-known land-scape painter Diane Romanello and Civil War artist Mort Kunstler.

While restoration takes up much of his time, DeSantis is always looking for inspiration for his own art.

“I’ll take a ride out to the Hamptons with my camera and if I see something that inspires me, I’ll take photos of it. Then, I might take a photo of a barrel with flowers in it and incorporate that into the scene,” DeSantis explains.

Using the image editing program Photoshop, DeSantis will experiment with combining scenic photos with fur-niture, people and decorations. Once he’s satisfied with a concept, he’ll paint it on canvas. “I can duplicate anything

I see and focus on replicating each little detail exactly, which is what makes it re-semble a photograph” he said. “It’s a skill that has served me well, both in restora-tion and my own artwork.”

While some of DeSantis’ most popu-lar art features Long Island hot spots, he’s also known for his portraits of fa-mous people, particularly athletes.

“Years ago I was working for a compa-ny doing sports prints of small children wearing the jersey of a prominent ath-lete,” he explains, adding that the prints were meant to represent those athletes in their early years. He has done similar work featuring child athletes looking up into the sky at their adult selves.

DeSantis is a loyal Yankees fan, and some of his favorite athletes to paint are the greats from that team, includ-ing Derek Jeter, Don Mattingly and Joe DiMaggio, among others.

The exhibit at the library will fea-ture more than 20 of DeSantis’ favorite paintings with a variety of subjects, says

Laurene Tesoriero, coordinator of the library’s art gallery.

Tesoriero says that the library hosts a number of art exhibits throughout the year. She’s particularly impressed with how realistic DeSantis’ work is.

“[The scenic art] almost looks like [it’s drawn with] pastels. Everything he does is very interesting and draws people in right away. You feel as though you’re a part of the scene,” she says. “And typical-ly you don’t see a lot of sports art around. It’s so crisp and vivid and I think that has a wide appeal.”

Being There will be on display at the Main Art Gallery at the Huntington Pub-lic Library, 338 Main Street, Huntington, through Nov. 22. The exhibit may be seen during regular library hours. Admission is free. For more information, contact Laurene Tesoriero at 631-427-5165, ext. 258, or visit www.myhpl.org.

In late September of this year an aging Italian immigrant from Argentina, who is the leader of one of the largest reli-gious denomination in the world, landed at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, just outside our nation’s capital.

This man addressed a joint session of Congress, the United Nations, led an interfaith prayer service at the 9/11 Memorial, spoke to a standing room only crowd at St. Pat-rick’s Cathedral in New York City and addressed a packed house at Madison Square Garden.

Over 100,000 peo-ple waited for as long as 10 hours to get a glimpse of this holy man in Central Park. He concluded his his-toric visit to the Unit-ed States with a final stop in Philadelphia where more than one million people came out to greet him.

Catholics call this holy man the Vicar of Christ on Earth. The rest of the world knows him as Pope Francis. In his brief stay among us he challenged our lead-ers, both politically and religiously, to do more for the poor, for the undocu-mented, for the discarded and for the marginalized in our midst.

He embraced the homeless, visited immigrant schoolchildren in East Har-lem and prison inmates at the largest prison in Philadelphia. Pope Francis gave 26 public addresses in his short time with us.

Everywhere he went people came out in record numbers to merely catch a glimpse of this prophetic voice, this humble pil-grim who is changing the landscape of the world. I was privileged to be the reli-gious consultant for WCBS radio in New York, so I had access to all of his written speeches before he gave them.

Everywhere he spoke he challenged us to do more for the discarded and the marginalized. He spoke about being more inclusive, not being judgmental, not hiding behind rules and regulations

but rather sharing and living the faith. He said to the cardinals, bishops and priests like myself that “we have to build bridges and not walls for that is what Christ did!”

New York City was on fire with Francis Fever. Everywhere I walked on that Thurs-day and Friday he was among us, and peo-ple from every walk of life and perspective commented on his simplicity, his humil-

ity and his persuasive choice of words.

What amazed me about this holy man is that he leads by ex-ample; he practices what he preaches. At the joint session of Congress he spoke about his four Ameri-can heroes — Abra-ham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Doro-thy Day (co-found-er of the Catholic Worker Movement,) and Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk — probably among the most prolific spiritual writer of our time.

Each person was painfully human but also profoundly prophetic in calling us to respect the human dignity and human rights of all people who share our “common home.”

Probably the most powerful image that will stay with me forever about this pope was the picture of him in the pope-mobile driving from Philadelphia In-ternational Airport and all of a sudden, once again off script, telling the driver to stop. He opened the door and stepped out of his little Fiat.

The emotion of the crowd was be-yond words. He walked up to a young teenager who was laying on a stretcher with his mother standing next to him, knelt down, hugged the boy and kissed him on the forehead. He took hold of his head and blessed him. He then stood up, hugged the teenager’s mother, walked back to his little Fiat and continued the motorcade to the city of brotherly love!

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

Prevention is the key with breast cancerm e d i c a l c o m p a s s

NFL players are wearing pink shoes and other sportswear this month, mak-ing a fashion statement to highlight Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This awareness is critical since annual breast cancer inci-dence in the United States is 230,000 cases, with approximately 40,000 patients, or 17 percent, dying from this disease each year (1). The good news is that from 1997 to 2008 there was a trend toward decreased incidence by 1.8 percent (2).

We can all agree that screening has merit. The commercials during NFL games tout that women in their 30s and early 40s have discovered breast cancer with a mammogram, usually after a lump was detected. Does this mean we should be screening earlier?

Screening guidelines are based on the general population that is considered “healthy,” meaning no lumps were found, nor is there a personal or family history of breast cancer. All guidelines hinge on the belief that mammograms are important, but at what age? Here is where divergence occurs; experts can’t agree on age and frequency. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends mammograms starting at 50 years old, after which time they should be done every other year (3). The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends mammo-grams start at 40 years old and be done an-nually (4). Your decision should be based on a discussion with your physician.

The best way to treat breast cancer — and just as important as screening — is prevention, whether it is primary, prevent-ing the disease from occurring, or second-ary, preventing recurrence. We are always looking for ways to minimize risk. What are some potential ways of doing this? These may include lifestyle modifications, such as diet, exercise, obesity treatment and normalizing cholesterol levels. Ad-ditionally, although results are mixed, it seems that bisphosphonates do not reduce the risk of breast cancer nor its recurrence.

Let’s look at the evidence.

BisphosphonatesBisphosphonates include Fosamax

(alendronate), Zometa (zoledronic acid) and Boniva (ibandronate) used to treat osteoporosis. Do they have a role in breast cancer prevention? It depends on the pop-ulation, and it depends on study quality.

In a meta-analysis involving two ran-domized controlled trials, results showed there was no benefit from the use of bisphosphonates in reducing breast can-cer risk (5). The population used in this study involved postmenopausal women who had osteoporosis but who did not have a personal history of breast cancer. In other words, the bisphosphonates were being used for primary prevention. The study was prompted by previous studies that have shown antitumor effects with this class of drugs. This analysis involved over 14,000 women ranging in age from 55 to 89. The two trials were FIT and HO-RIZON-PFT, with durations of 3.8 and 2.8 years, respectively. The FIT study involved alendronate and the HORIZON-PFT study involved zoledronic acid, with these drugs compared to placebo. The research-ers concluded that the data were not evi-dent for the use of bisphosphonates in pri-mary prevention of invasive breast cancer.

In a previous meta-analysis of two ob-servational studies from the Women’s Health Initiative, results showed that bisphosphonates did indeed reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer in patients by as much as 32 percent (6). These results were statistically significant. However, there was an increase in risk of ductal carcinoma in situ (precancer cases) that was not explain-able. These studies included over 150,000 patients with no breast cancer history. The patient type was similar to that used in the more current trial mentioned above. Ac-cording to the authors, this suggested that bisphosphonates may have an antitumor effect. But not so fast!

The disparity in the above two bisphosphonate studies has to do with trial type. Randomized controlled trials are better designed than observational trials. Therefore, it is more likely that bisphosphonates do not work in reduc-ing breast cancer risk in patients without a history of breast cancer or, in other words, in primary prevention.

In a third study, a meta-analysis (group of 36 post-hoc analyses — after trials were previously concluded) using bisphospho-nates, results showed that zoledronic acid significantly reduced mortality risk, by as much as 17 percent, in those patients with early breast cancer (7). This benefit was seen in postmenopausal women but not in premenopausal women. The difference between this study and the previous study was the population. This was a trial for secondary prevention, where patients had a personal history of cancer.

However, in a RCT, the results showed that those with early breast cancer did not benefit overall from zoledronic acid in con-junction with standard treatments for this disease (8). The moral of the story: RCTs

are needed to confirm results, and they don’t always coincide with other studies.

ExerciseWe know exercise is important in diseas-

es, and breast cancer is no exception. In a recent observational trial, exercise reduced breast cancer risk in postmenopausal wom-en significantly (9). These women exercised moderately; they walked four hours a week. The researchers stressed that it is never too late to exercise, since the effect was seen over four years. If they exercised previously, but not recently, for instance, five to nine years ago, no benefit was seen.

To make matters worse, only about one-third of women get the recommended level of exercise every week: 30 minutes for five days a week. Once diagnosed with breast cancer, women tend to exercise less, not more. The NFL, which does an admirable job of highlighting Breast Cancer Aware-ness Month, should go a step further and focus on the importance of exercise to pre-vent breast cancer or its recurrence, much as it has done to help motivate kids to exer-cise with its “Play 60” campaign.

Soy intakeContrary to popular belief, soy may be

beneficial in reducing breast cancer risk. In a recent meta-analysis (a group of eight ob-servational studies), those who consumed more soy saw a significant reduction in breast cancer compared to those who con-sumed less (10). There was a dose-response curve among three groups: high intake of >20 mg per day, moderate intake of 10 mg and low intake of <5 mg. Those in the high-est group had a 29 percent reduced risk, and those in the moderate group had a 12 percent reduced risk, when compared to those who consumed the least. Why have we not seen this in U.S. trials? The level of soy used in U.S. trials is a fraction of what is used in Asian trials. The benefit from soy

is thought to come from isoflavones, plant-rich nutrients.

Western versus Mediterranean diets

In an observational study, results showed that, while the Western diet in-creases breast cancer risk by 46 percent, the Spanish Mediterranean diet has the in-verse effect, decreasing risk by 44 percent (11). The effect of the Mediterranean diet was even more powerful in triple-negative tumors, which tend to be difficult to treat. The authors concluded that diets rich in fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and oily fish were potentially beneficial.

Hooray for Breast Cancer Awareness Month stressing the importance of mam-mographies and breast self-exams. How-ever, we need to give significantly more at-tention to prevention of breast cancer and its recurrence. Through potentially more soy intake, as well as a Mediterranean diet and modest exercise, we may be able to accelerate the trend toward a lower breast cancer incidence.

By Charles J. Morgan

Deep, dark, dank and dusty were the living quarters of the cartoon-famous Ad-dams Family immortalized by Charles Addams and carried forward by the long-running TV series. Just in time for Hallow-een, Oakdale’s CM Performing Arts Cen-ter’s Noel S. Ruiz Theatre has produced it in all its necropolitic splendor and funereal solemnity. And by the way … it’s a musical.

Given CMPAC’s penchant for grand and opulent staging, it was phenomenally successful. The ubiquitous and talented Patrick Grossman designed the set with its precise and swift and sure mobility. With keenly executed lighting plot by Carl Tese, the show’s dark and dreary set was suf-fused with appropriate ominous light in-cluding graveyard mist.

Grossman also directed and his skills with blocking and interpretation were pal-pably patent. CMPAC’s massive venue pos-es a problem for the making and breaking of character compositions in a coherent, logical (real?) manner. Theatrically, Gross-man succeeded mightily in this. When it came to interpretation he did a credible job inculcating “spookiness.”

Jon Rivera, in the role of Gomez, has the dominant role. His voice, somewhere between a tenor robusto and dramatico, carried him emotionally through all his numbers such as “Wednesday’s Grow-

ing Up” and “Gomez’s What If” in Act I. He focuses emotion and sturdiness with masterful acumen.

Denise Antonelle, as his wife Mor-ticia, has a firm soprano coupled with a voluptuous stage presence and a projec-tion ability commingled with exceptional clarity. Their daughter Wednesday was played by Gina Morgigno. Morgigno was ingénue-like in her movements and that plangent voice in Act I’s “Pulled” and

“Crazier Than You” in Act II ranked her as a first rate actress-singer. Fifth-grader Daniel Belyansky, who plays Pugsley, is wonderful in his solo number in Act I, a take-off on Gomez’s number “What If.” He has a strong developing voice, and this showcase number may mark him for much to come.

With a massive blonde wig, Terry Brennan plays Grandma, launching her scratchy, boisterious voice in earthy apho-

risms, brooking no opposition from any-one. Marc Slomowitz as Uncle Fester had a sort of a parallel role. He had mobility, especially facial, and was hilarious in “Fes-ter’s Manifesto” in Act I and “The Moon and Me” in Act II.

Then there was Lurch the butler. It was a silent role except for his gurgling and growling, the timing of which evoked some loud laughter, especially from your scribe. Steve Cottonaro handled this role with mimetic menace.

As usual, Matthew W. Surico led a live pit band with his expected genius. There was somewhat of a preponderance of Latin rhythms ranging from tango to 6/8 time Bossa Nova, even a waltz. The musical tal-ents of this 12-piece outfit rose to resplen-dent heights. Choreography was in the hands of the skilled M.E. Junge who also played a small part as one of the Ancestors while costumes were neatly handled by Ronald Green III.

If the audience’s whooping and howl-ing are any indication of the success of this production, it must be a smash hit. Your scribe more tacitly agrees.

The CM Performing Arts Center, 931 Montauk Highway, Oakdale will pres-ent “The Addams Family” through Nov. 8. Tickets range from $20 to $29. For more in-formation, call 631-218-2810 or visit www.cmpac.com.

Like many sons, Jay Gammill has fol-lowed in his father’s footsteps, a U.S. Navy photographer during World War II. “My father had a tremendous amount of pho-tographic experience. We even set up our own darkroom for processing pictures in our basement. Dad was always the guy with the camera,” said Gammill.

Born and raised in Long Island City, Queens, Gammill spent his entire life on Long Island, with the exception of his four years in the U.S. Air Force, 1968-1972. He met his wife Janet after return-ing home from the service. They married in 1976 and moved into their first home in Levittown. In 1999, they moved to their current home in East Setauket.

Gammill received his first camera, a Brownie Starflash, as a young boy. “Boy, was I happy! No one could turn around without a flashbulb going off in their face,” he said. And so began a lifelong passion.

When Gammill entered high school at Rice High School in upper Manhat-tan, he was in the yearbook photography club, and his parents bought him his first 35mm camera. “That camera was glued to me; if there was any kind of school ac-tivity, you could be sure I was taking pic-tures. It was very gratifying to have many of my pictures published in my senior yearbook,” he said.

Gammill purchased his second 35mm camera while in the Air Force and used it for many years after returning home. “Friends always whined when I was tak-

ing pictures at parties and social events but those pictures are now filled with golden memories that can really make people smile.”

Retiring as the director of the mainte-nance training department of New York City Transit in 2009 gave him more time to pursue this unique hobby.

Sitting outside on the deck of his home, Gammill started taking pictures of birds. He found it wasn’t easy. “Then it became a challenge, and I knew I could do better,” he said. “I have an advanced digital camera now {a Nikon D610}, and birds have become my favorite subjects. My wife, who spent summers in Sound Beach growing up, and I go to parks, ponds, nature areas — anywhere birds

may be feeding or nesting.” Gammill has some advice for any-

one interested in photography. “Taking photographs will expand your horizons. It is a very enjoyable hobby, getting you out of the house into the fresh air, not to mention some exercise, which I recom-mend to anyone.” For himself, he has lots of plans. “Now I want to increase my ef-forts into landscapes, sunsets, night pho-tography and other areas,” he said.

Mimi Hodges, a resident of Sound Beach and long-time friend of Janet Gam-mill and her family, credits Jay Gammill with revitalizing her own enthusiasm for photography. At a family get-together last year, Gammill invited Hodges to join a closed Facebook photography group.

“The result is that, for the past year, my interest in photography has been revived and I am truly enjoying this re-newed passion. I owe it all to Jay,” said Hodges.

Gammill has posted some of his own photographs on Facebook and was surprised that so many people enjoyed them. When asked by friends how he finds these birds, Gammill answers, “They are all around; you just have to look.” And when Gammill looks through his camera, what he sees is spectacular!

Savor the flavors of fallSpiced Apple Cake with Orange Glaze

When the crisp air and festive colors of fall arrive, it’s time to get out and en-joy the best the season has to offer. From catching a hayride to diving into a pile of crunchy leaves, there are plenty of fam-ily activities that can build up a healthy appetite.

Some of the tastiest dishes to serve the family at the end of a perfect day fea-ture the warmth and comfort of fall fla-vors. Few ingredients say fall like apples, and apple butter is an ideal ingredient for incorporating the rich, traditional flavor of apples and cinnamon into your favorite foods.

Spiced Apple Cake with Orange Glaze

IngredIentS:

• 2 cups flour • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves • 3/4 cup sugar • 1/2 cup softened butter • 2 eggs • 1/2 cup buttermilk • 1 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter • 1 cup powdered sugar • 2 tablespoons orange juice • 1 teaspoon orange peel

dIrectIonS:

Heat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, nut-meg, cinnamon and cloves.

In a large bowl cream sugar and soft-ened butter, then add eggs and beat thor-oughly. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk. Stir in apple butter.

Pour batter into a greased 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 65 min-utes or until cake tests done. cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Make an orange glaze by combining powdered sugar, orange juice and orange peel. Spoon glaze over warm cake.

Apple Butter Roast Chicken

IngredIentS:

• 1/2 cup Musselman’s Apple Butter • 1 teaspoon chili powder • 1 teaspoon cumin • 1 teaspoon paprika • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes • 1 whole chicken (3-5 pounds) • 4 sprigs fresh thyme • 3 cloves garlic, peeled • 1-2 teaspoons kosher salt

dIrectIonS:

Heat oven to 375 F. Line roasting pan with foil for easy cleanup. In a small bowl, mix together apple butter, chili powder, cumin, paprika and red pepper. (Adjust spice level to personal preference.)

gently pull skin away from flesh of bird. Scoop a little apple butter mixture in your hand and push it between skin and flesh. Lay skin back down and gen-tly rub so apple butter mixture is coating as much of meat under skin as possible. repeat with legs, thighs and breasts, try-ing not to tear skin.

Place chicken breast-side down in prepared pan. Stuff 1 thyme sprig under each wing and remaining thyme and garlic cloves inside bird. Sprinkle outer skin with kosher salt.

Bake for 20 minutes per pound. tent with foil after 40 minutes to prevent skin from getting too dark. Let chicken cool/rest for about 5 to 10 minutes be-fore slicing and serving.

By EllEn BarcEl

There are many gardening chores to accomplish in the fall. One that I’m currently working on is bringing in some herb plants to try and keep them growing over winter. Mainly, I want to keep some of my mints grow-ing, but the parsley plant is lush and gorgeous, so I’m going to make a stab at keeping that growing on a bay win-dow. When I went to take a look at the plant, I saw an absolutely beautiful cat-erpillar on one of the stalks. I knew it wasn’t a monarch, because they go for milkweed (several dined on my butter-f ly weed, Aesclepias tuberosa, a native variety of milkweed), and besides they have orange strips while my new guest was basically green and black.

Parsley worm caterpillarA bit of research told me that it was a

parsley worm caterpillar, which would eventually change into an American swallowtail butterfly, black with blue markings. How was I going to deal with this critter since I really wanted to see it turn into a butterfly, but I also wanted to bring the parsley into the house so I’d have fresh parsley all winter.

Again, research told me that they overwinter in the garden as a chrysalis (that is, a pupa) and emerge from the cocoon in spring (April to May usu-ally) as the beautiful butterf ly. So, if you are bringing any plants into the house, check them for hitchhikers. Break off some of the parsley and set it with the caterpillar in a safe place out-side to overwinter. I’ve read that it’s a nasty tasting caterpillar so birds tend to leave it alone.

Some people object to the parsley worm (which is attracted to other plants in the carrot family, such as dill, carrots and Queen Anne’s lace). They can be hand picked off the plants if you want. Personally, I don’t mind sharing a bit of my parsley with them knowing that they will turn into beautiful butterflies.

Green tomato hornwormAnother caterpillar you may find on

your garden plants is the large green tomato hornworm. I remember as a kid my father finding them on some toma-to plants he was growing. One was cov-ered with white insect eggs, parasitized by braconid wasps. My father removed the caterpillar with the eggs, but I later learned that the wasps perform a valu-

able service to the home gardener, that of devouring other insect pests.

Like the parsley worm caterpillar, they can be easily removed from the plant by hand picking. While the pars-ley worm will eventually yield a beau-tiful butterf ly, the tomato hornworm can quickly defoliate tomato plants (and other nightshade plants like po-tatoes, peppers and eggplants) causing serious damage to the garden.

After going through the pupa stage, a large moth will emerge. No, I’m not willing to share my tomato plants with these critters. But, if you find one cov-ered in white eggs, leave it alone since the wasps that will emerge from the eggs will kill the caterpillar and con-trol other insect pests.

So, monarch butterf ly caterpillars are good, parsley worm caterpillars are also very good and tomato worm cater-pillars are bad, unless they’re covered in wasp eggs.

There are many other varieties of caterpillars that are sometimes ben-eficial and sometimes not. Remember the gypsy moth caterpillar can be very bad. (See my column of last July 16 for details on this one.)

Check out any caterpillars you find by typing the description into your computer’s search engine to find simi-lar photos to help identify it. Only when you know what you have, should you decide what to do about the critter or critters in your garden.

Huntington Historical Society's Apple Festival this weekendWhat better way to enjoy Long Is-

land's beautiful autumn weather than at a festival? The Huntington Histori-cal Society's annual Apple Festival re-turns this Sunday, Oct. 18, at the Dr. Daniel Kissam House Museum, 434 Park Ave., Huntington, from noon to 4 p.m.

For over 20 years the society has sponsored this wonderful family

event, which will feature a haunted hayride, pumpkin painting, old-fash-ioned games and live music by the Huntingtones. Enjoy traditional dem-onstrations such as butter churning and candle dipping as costumed inter-preters "prepare for the winter."

Children can also create their own seasonal crafts and make a life-sized scarecrow. The Kissam House will be

open for tours and an antique sale will be held in the barn.

In addition, volunteers from the North Shore Animal League will be on hand with adoptable pets.

Food vendors will offer sweet apple treats including caramel and candied apples and apple pies. Apples by the pound will also be on sale along with pickles, pretzels, pot pies and jams.

“The [historical] society board, mem-bers, staff and dedicated volunteers are proud to continue this fall tradition for the community. It’s our way of giving back to the neighborhood and friends that support us all year long,” said Maria DeLeo, office coordinator for the society. Admission is free. For more informa-tion, call 631-427-7045, ext. 401, or visit www.huntingtonhistoricalsociety.org.

By Daniel Dunaief

The battle is like a game of chess, with each side making moves and countermoves to gain the upper hand. The difference between this contest and a game two players can walk away from is that the stakes are considerably higher, often marking the differ-ence between life and death.

Predicting the responses of enemies like drug-resistant in-fections and cancers are criti-cal to winning the high stakes battle.

Gábor Balázsi, a Henry Laufer associate professor of physical and quantitative biology at Stony Brook University, has created a synthetic biological model to understand how systems react to stresses such as antibiotic treat-ments, or, to extend the meta-phor, different moves on the chess board.

He inserted genetic codes into yeast. Some start-up companies have tried to employ these tech-niques to increase the efficiency of the production of energy or medications.

Companies “engineer bacteria to do something good, but will they be stable? Will they stay the way you engineered them? It’s important to know how long it’ll last, when it’ll break and when you should start a new culture,” Balázsi said.

Indeed, Balázsi used com-puter simulations and math-ematical models to predict the evolutionary fate of these synthetic gene circuits and

then tested these predictions through experiments.

In these experiments, Ba-lázsi introduced drugs that would test the yeast’s ability to tap into the inserted genes and make the kind of changes nec-essary to survive. In some of the experiments, he introduced another chemical that could turn on the synthetic genes. He published this work recently in the scientific journal, Molecu-lar Systems Biology.

In one of the experiments, Balázsi did not enable the yeast to activate the drug resistance gene, and yet, the yeast figured out how to use that gene on its own. These mutations happened in the synthetic gene circuit and in the yeast genome. The muta-tions gave the yeast the ability to turn on its inserted genetic code.

“The yeast figures out how to start activating those genes without us enabling it to do so,” he said.

This is akin to putting a trom-bone next to a saxophone player, without teaching the sax player how to make music on the brass instrument. Without any need to play the trombone, the musician might stick with the instrument familiar to her. With enough motivation, such as playing in a high-paying wedding, the sax player is likely to retrain herself on the new instrument. Balázsi is seeking to understand how yeast make similar kinds of ge-netic changes to survive during drug treatment.

A physicist by training, Ba-

lázsi feels driven by the desire to make models that can make pre-dictions. He hopes these kinds of experiments can find an applica-tion in the ongoing battle with drug resistance and diseases.

“His physics background pro-vides him with a larger scale sys-tems view of what’s happening,” said James Collins, a professor in the Department of Biological Engineering at the Massachu-setts Institute of Technology. “He’s one of the pioneers at in-troducing network approaches into biology.”

Collins and Balázsi worked together when Balázsi was a postdoctoral researcher. The two researchers recently discussed beginning a collaboration using network biology on tuberculosis.

Working with yeast makes it possible to make the kinds of evo-lutionary predictions and con-duct experiments that would be considerably more difficult with animals. With yeast, he can ob-serve as many as 80 generations within 10 days because yeast di-vide eight to 10 times in the lab. Observing genetic changes in re-sponse to environmental condi-tions over a few weeks with yeast would be like traveling through centuries with animals or millen-nia with humans.

Last year, Balázsi completed a five-year grant from the Nation-al Institutes of Health through the Director’s Program.

While Balázsi is continuing to work with yeast cells, he is now also pursuing research on can-cer. He has been working to in-troduce multiple synthetic gene circuits into cancer, similar to what he did with yeast, aiming to control cancer cells and un-derstand their biology.

A native of Transylvania, a region that is now part of Ro-mania, Balázsi grew up speaking Hungarian and studied Roma-nian in school. He came to the United States in 1997. He and his wife Erika live in East Setauket

with their daughter Julianna. The Balázsi family moved to Long Island last summer.

Balázsi enjoys traveling to New York City and New Jersey, where he and his wife enjoy tak-ing part in traditional Hungar-ian folk dancing.

The kind of experiments Ba-lázsi has done and would like to continue to do may one day give scientists the ability to anticipate how a cancer or drug-resistant strain of a disease might react to a new treatment.

“If we are clever enough and we design a gene circuit that lures the cells into an evolu-tionary trap, where they evolve in a certain way that later on becomes disadvantageous, we could possibly help cure” these diseases, he said. This kind of approach and solution, howev-er, is “far away” from the basic knowledge researchers now have because scientists don’t yet un-derstand enough about the evo-lution of cancer cell populations in humans.

‘I couldn’t be more proud of our team to respond to their charge and � nd a way to win the game.’

— SUE RYAN

SBU SPORTSWEEKSTONY BROOK UNIVERSITY Tomorrow is Friday — wear red on campus!Oct. 15-Oct. 21, 2015

0nline• Women’s tennis dominant at Navy Blue & Gold Invitational• Men’s soccer edged out by the University of New Hampshire, 3-2

Content provided by SBU and printed as a service

to our advertiser.

Edwards scores twice in SBU’s wild win over New Hampshire

Redshirt junior forward Raven Ed-wards continued her torrid scoring stretch with two more goals to lead the Stony Brook women’s soccer team (5-7- 2 overall, 2-2-0 in America East) past the fi rst-place University of New Hampshire Wildcats (6-6-3, 4-1-0 AE), 3-2, on Sunday night.

“Th e fans got their money’s worth,” Stony Brook head coach Sue Ryan said. “It was a tale of two halves. We came out and scored two quick goals and dominated the possession, but you have to give credit to New Hampshire. Th ey came out in the second half with a lot of strong pressure to tie the game.”

Senior midfi elder Tessa Devereaux put the Wildcats immediately behind the eight-ball with her second goal of the season just 2:09 into the match. Se-nior forward and midfi elder Emily Mur-rer spotted Devereaux’s run and played a perfectly weighted seam pass into her stride, allowing her to take a touch and fi nish to the far post.

Edwards increased the lead to 2-0 in the 10th minute, pouncing on a poor fi rst touch from the New Hampshire keeper and slipping the ball into a vacant New Hampshire net.

Stony Brook held the two-goal lead until the 71st minute when Gaby Dorsey headed home a Brooke Murphy free kick.

Murphy tied the game in the 86th minute, hitting a scorching shot from 25 yards out into the upper 90.

Edwards drew a penalty kick a minute later, spinning by New Hampshire’s Kirsten O’Neil, causing her to bring her down in the penalty area. O’Neil was shown her second yellow card of the match for the foul, eject-ing her from the contest. Edwards cooly went to the spot and fi nished to the keeper’s right to lead the Seawolves to a 3-2 win.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our team,” Ryan said, “to respond to their charge and fi nd a way to win the game.”

Edwards’ eight goals are a career-high, moving her into second place in the con-ference. With her winning goal against the Wildcats, she moved into the school’s top 10 in career goals, with 17.

Edwards is a perfect 4-for-4 on penalty kicks this season.

Halfway through conference play, the Seawolves sit in fi ft h place in the stand-ings with six points, trailing the Univer-sity of Maine by a point.

New Hampshire outshot the Sea-wolves 19-14 in the match. Edwards led Stony Brook with six shots and three shots on goal.

Th e fi ve goals scored this week are the most Stony Brook has scored in back-to-back games since the 2013 season.

Th e Seawolves will look for a road victory at Binghamton University today, Oct. 15. Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m.

Volleyball outlasted by Albany in five setsTh e Stony Brook volleyball team forced

a fi ft h set aft er an 0-2 defi cit, but was unable to fi nish off America East foe University at Albany in a fi ve-set loss (23-25, 23-25, 25-14, 27-25, 15-9) Sunday aft ernoon.

With the defeat, the Seawolves fall to 7-13 and 3-1 in America East, while Albany improves to 9-8 and 4-1 in conference play.

Th e Seawolves rebounded from an 0-2 defi cit in the match with a 25-14 win in the third and 27-25 victory in the fourth. Th e fourth set featured a wild rally at 24-24, eventually won by the Seawolves aft er multiple pivotal digs, including an acrobatic play by senior libero Lo Hathaway.

Senior outside hitter Kathy Fletcher had a career day in the defeat, tallying a career-high 28 kills on a .357 hitting percentage along with 16 digs.

Hathaway had a season-high 26 digs.Senior setter Nicole Vogel had a season-

high 55 assists and 12 digs.Senior middle blocker Stephanie Mc-

Fadden tallied 15 kills and a season-high six blocks.

Th e loss was the fi rst for the Seawolves in 22 days, as Stony Brook had won four straight since a loss to Army West Point on Sept. 19.

Hathaway was honored in a pre-match ceremony for breaking the Seawolves’ all-time digs record in September.

Stony Brook is back in action Friday at 6 p.m. at the University of Hartford.

Book time with a dogAlexander, age 10, of Stony Brook, and his brother, Jonah, age 8, took turns

reading to Jessie, a beautiful golden retriever and certified therapy dog, at the Emma S. Clark Library in Setauket last Thursday evening, as part of the li-brary’s BARK — Books Are Read to K-9s — program. In cooperation with Patchogue Rotary Animal Assisted Therapy, the program is designed to help children improve their reading skills. During his 20 minute session, Alexander read excerpts from “Big Nate Out Loud,” by Lincoln Peirce, and then Jonah read from “Lunch Lady and the Video Game Villain,” by Jarrett J. Krosoczka, while Jessie, along with handler Rich Musetti, listened intently.
