A terrifying, hooded figure sits in Mr. Vanderbilt’s bathtub. A skeleton stands behind an armchair in one of the elegant bedrooms. An eerie woman in a black robe with pasty-white skin and a frightful stare sits on a divan in Mrs. Vanderbilt’s bedroom. Near the fireplace in the grand, paneled library stands a tall mummy.

These are just a few of the ghostly, life-size props that will welcome you to Halloween at the Vanderbilt Mansion.

Saturdays and Sundays, Oct. 24 and 25 and Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, are Haunted Weekends at the Suffolk County Vander-bilt Museum, 180 Little Neck Road, Cen-terport. Festivities will include hourly Un-Living History Tours of the mansion beginning at noon, with the last tour starting at 4 p.m.

Tours are interwoven with Vander-bilt family history and include ghost stories told by mansion guides dressed for the occasion. Visitors may meet De-lia O’Rourke, the Irish cook, dressed in

her bloody apron and carrying a meat cleaver, or one of the Vanderbilt fam-ily guests, aviator-industrialist Howard Hughes, dressed in the dirty, bloody clothing from his plane crash. Visitors also might run into the Phantom of the Opera or the occasional witch.

The Vanderbilt Mansion has a few ghost stories of its own — experienced by staff members from years ago. Those tales include hearing the laughter of young girls in the nursery wing of the mansion, in the evening after hours, and the nighttime sighting of the ghostly fig-ure of a young boy in knickers and a cap running across the mansion lawn.

Recommended for children ages 8 and up. Tickets, sold at the gate, are $7 adults, $6 students and seniors, and $3 children ages 12 and under general ad-mission plus $5 per person for a guided mansion tour. For more information, call 631-854-5579 or visit www.vander-biltmuseum.org. For more Halloween Happenings, see page B28.

By STAcy SANTiNi

Wednesday evening, Oct. 14, the Cin-ema Arts Centre had the privilege of host-ing in person, the infamous, impossibly handsome 1950s icon, Tab Hunter and his partner of 33 years, Allan Glaser at an ex-clusive Long Island screening of Glaser’s riveting documentary based on Tab Hunt-er’s memoir and life titled “Tab Hunter Confidential.”

Curated by Jud Newborn, the center not only screened the movie to a packed house, standing room only, but honored the vet-eran screen legend with a roster of engaging events. After the viewing, there was a dia-logue with Hunter and Glaser conducted by famed author and film critic Foster Hirsch followed by a Q-and-A session.

A reception in the center’s Sky Room followed with droves of people lined up to meet the humble, engaging Hunter,

who at 84 is as stunning as ever. Audi-ence members were treated to jazz music by Mike Soloway, a buffet of cheese, fruit and crudité as well as three cakes special-ly made to remind us of some of his ca-reer highlights: one a baseball glove sur-rounded by the four bases in honor of his most popular movie, “Damn Yankees,” the second a tribute to his chart topping song, “Young Love” and the last, a joyful rainbow confection welcoming him.

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 meets the risk reducersm e d i c a l c o m p a s s

The answer relates to the risks and ben-efits of diabetes. The correct answer is (b). Soda has the most sugar, with 39 grams per 12-ounce can. Not surprising, soda is associated with increased risk of diabe-tes. However, the drink with the lowest amount of sugar is wine, red or white. Even more surprising, it may have benefits in re-ducing complications associated with dia-betes. Wine has about 1.2 grams of sugar in five ounces. I know what you’re think-ing: these different drinks are based on dif-ferent quantities; however, per ounce, soda has the most and wine has the least. Read on for more information about the poten-tial benefits of wine.

Why is this important? Well, it wouldn’t be if diabetes were going the way of the dodo bird. Instead, the prevalence of dia-betes has continued to climb over three decades in the United States at an alarm-ingly rapid rate to its current level of 12 to 14 percent (1). The even scarier news is that more than one-third don’t know they have diabetes. The number of patients with prediabetes (HbA1C of 5.7-6.4 percent) is greater than one in three in this country.

So where do we stand? Unfortunately, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) can’t agree on screening guidelines. The USPSTF re-cently recommended that asymptomatic patients not be screened for diabetes since the evidence is inconclusive and screening may not improve mortality. ADA guide-

lines suggest testing those who are over-weight and who have one or more risk fac-tors for diabetes and all of those who are over 45 (2, 3).

It turns out that cardiovascular risk and severity may not be equal between the sex-es. In two recent trials, women had greater risk than men. In one study, women with diabetes were hospitalized due to heart at-tacks at a more significant rate than men, though both had substantial increases in risk, 162 percent and 96 percent, respec-tively (4). This was a retrospective (back-ward-looking) study. The same result was found in a second study (5). In this meta-analysis (a group of 19 studies), there was a 38 percent greater increased risk of car-diovascular events in women than men. However, these studies were presented as posters, not yet fully published data.

What may reduce risks of disease and/or complications?

Fortunately, we are not without options. Several factors may help. These include tim-ing of blood pressure medications, lifestyle modifications (diet and exercise) and wine.

Diet trumps popular drug for prevention

All too often in the medical community, we are guilty of reaching for drugs and ei-ther overlooking lifestyle modifications or expecting that patients will fail with them. This is not only disappointing, but it is a disservice; lifestyle changes may be more effective in preventing this disease. In a recent head-to-head comparison study (Diabetes Prevention Program), diet plus exercise bests metformin for diabetes pre-vention (7). This study was performed over 15 years of duration in 2,776 participants who were at high risk for diabetes because they were overweight or obese and had el-evated sugars.

There were three groups in the study: those receiving a low-fat, low-calorie diet with 15 minutes of moderate cardiovascu-lar exercise; those taking metformin 875 mg twice a day; and a placebo group. Diet and exercise reduced the risk of diabetes by 27 percent, while metformin reduced it by 18 percent over the placebo, both reach-ing statistical significance. While these are impressive results that speak to the use of lifestyle modification and to metformin, this is not the optimal diabetes diet.

Wine is beneficial, really?Alcohol in general has mixed results.

Wine is no exception. However, the CAS-CADE trial, a recent randomized con-trolled trial, considered the gold standard of studies, shows wine may have heart ben-efits in well-controlled patients with type 2 diabetes by altering the lipid (cholesterol) profile (6). Patients were randomized into three groups, all receiving a drink with dinner nightly; one group received five ounces of red wine, another five ounces of white wine, and the control group drank five ounces of water. Those who drank the

red wine saw a significant increase in their “good cholesterol” HDL levels, an increase in apolipoprotein A1 (the primary compo-nent in HDL) and a decrease in the ratio of total cholesterol-to-HDL levels compared to the water drinking control arm. In oth-er words, there were significant beneficial cardiometabolic changes.

White wine also had beneficial cardio-metabolic effects, but not as great as red wine. However, white wine did improve glycemic (sugar) control significantly compared to water, whereas red wine did not. Also, slow metabolizers of alcohol in a combined red and white wine group analysis had better glycemic control than those who drank water. This study had a two-year duration and involved 224 pa-tients. All participants were instructed on how to follow a Mediterranean-type diet. Does this mean diabetes patients should start drinking wine? Not necessarily, be-cause this is a small, though well-designed, study. Wine does have calories, and these were also well-controlled type 2 diabetes patients who generally were nondrinkers.

Drugs — not diabetes drugs — show good results

I wrote that taking blood pressure med-ications at night may control blood pres-sure better than only taking these medi-cations in the morning. Well, it turns out this recent study also shows that taking blood pressure medications has another benefit, lowering the risk of diabetes (8). There was a 57 percent reduction in the risk of developing diabetes in those who took blood pressure medications at night rather than in the morning. It seems that controlling sleep-time blood pressure is more predictive of risk for diabetes than morning or 48-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. This study had a long duration of almost six years with about 2,000 participants. The blood pressure

medications used in the trial were ACE in-hibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers and beta blockers. The first two medications have their effect on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) of the kidneys. According to the researchers, the drugs that blocked RAAS in the kidneys had the most powerful effect on preventing diabe-tes. Furthermore, when sleep systolic (top number) blood pressure was elevated one standard deviation above the mean, there was a 30 percent increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Interestingly, the RAAS blocking drugs are the same drugs that protect kid-ney function when patients have diabetes.

We need to reverse the trend toward higher diabetes prevalence. Diet and exer-cise are the first line for prevention. Even a nonideal diet in comparison to medication had better results, though medication such as metformin could be used in high-risk patients that were having trouble follow-ing the diet. A modest amount of wine, especially red, may have effects that reduce cardiovascular risk. Blood pressure medi-cations taken at night, especially those that block RAAS in the kidneys, may help sig-nificantly to prevent diabetes.

Grand opening An official ribbon cutting for the first Chick-fil-A on

Long Island was held on Oct. 7. As part of the grand open-ing celebration, the restaurant gave away a free year’s supply of Chick-fil-A to the first 100 local residents in line at 6 a.m.

The restaurant, located at 5184 Nesconset Highway in

Port Jefferson Station, is independently owned and oper-ated by local resident Stan Abrahamsen.

“Personalized customer service and freshly prepared food have been the hallmarks of Chick-fil-A since the day founder Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant,” said Abrahamsen. “My team members and I are committed to those same ideals, as we welcome our guests to our new

Port Jefferson Station restaurant and provide them with a remarkable experience.”

The popular Southern fast-food chain restaurant will bring approximately 80 new full-and part-time jobs to the community and is open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday. For more information, call 631-476-8100.

What does “look-back” mean? What is spousal refusal? Will Medicaid take my house if my husband has to go into a nurs-ing home? All too often these are the ques-tions we hear from our clients who are faced with navigating the Medicaid landscape once a crisis occurs.

In New York State, the Medicaid pro-gram can provide a source of payment for those who are financially eligible and require care, either in a nursing facility or in their own home. In order to be eli-gible for Chronic Care Medicaid (payment for nursing home care), an individual must meet certain income and as-set requirements.

To start, the appli-cant may have no more than $14,850 in liquid nonqualified (nonre-tirement) assets in their name. They may have qualified (retirement) assets in an unlimited amount provided they are taking a monthly distribution.

When applying, the Department of So-cial Services will require a full financial accounting from both the applicant and his spouse for the five years immediately prior. This is what is often referred to as the look-back. The purpose of this investigation is to determine among other things whether any transfers were made during this time period that would affect eligibility. The rule is that for every $12,390 that was transferred, a one-month penalty will be imposed.

For example, if in the financial review it is discovered that the applicant gifted $40,000 to his children during the look-back period, a determination will be made that imposes a penalty for roughly three months. This means that Medicaid will not pay for the first three months of nursing care, and the family will be responsible to pay privately. The aggregate result of this type of penalty is roughly a dollar-for-dollar penalty, mean-ing that for each dollar that you transfer you will have to pay a like amount in nursing home care should the need arise. This rule applies unless the transfer is considered an exempt transfer. Transfers that are exempt do not create a penalty and therefore do not affect Medicaid eligibility. In New York State, transfers to spouses are exempt under the provisions of spousal refusal.

We use the term “spousal refusal” when the community spouse (the spouse who is not institutionalized) chooses not to contribute to the cost of care for an insti-tutionalized spouse. This means that the institutionalized spouse cannot be denied Medicaid because the community spouse refuses to contribute. Moreover, the above penalties cannot be assessed due to the fact that the signing of a spousal refusal makes it such that the transfer is an exempt transfer. The refusing spouse must still provide any

and all financial information and cooper-ate fully with the Medicaid application. It is important to note that once Medicaid is approved, the county does have the right to seek recovery against the community spouse. Other exempt transfers include transfers to disabled children, transfers of the primary residence to a caretaker child and finally transfers of a primary residence to a sibling with an equity interest.

With respect to income, an applicant for Chronic Care Medicaid may only keep

$50.00 of his income monthly. His spouse may retain the greater of (1) all of his or her own income or (2) all of his or her income and enough of the institutionalized spouse’s income to bring them to $2,980.50.

Community Medic-aid is the program that covers care at home. This program will cover the cost of a personal care aide to assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, cook-ing, dressing, etc. The

program may also cover day programs, transpor-

tation to medical appointments, assisted living programs and some durable medi-cal equipment and supplies. For 2015, an individual applying for Community Medicaid can have no more than $14,850, not including their home, in nonqualified (nonretirement) liquid assets. They may have qualified (retirement) assets in an un-limited amount, provided they are taking a monthly distribution.

It is important to realize that the home is an exempt resource while the Community Medicaid recipient is alive; however, addi-tional estate planning should be considered to avoid a Medicaid lien after the recipient’s death. While these limitations may seem daunting, the good news is that there is no look-back period. That means someone looking to get care at home can transfer as-sets in one month and be eligible for Com-munity Medicaid the following month with no penalty assessed for the transfer of assets.

With respect to income, an applicant for Community Medicaid may have no more than $845 per month. An individual with an income over the $845 can opt to use a Pooled Income Trust. The excess income would be paid to a pooled trust company, and the trustees of the trust would pay ex-penses for the benefit of the applicant.

As you can see from this brief overview of Medicaid, there are many options available for care when the need arises. Make sure you are seeking advice from those knowl-edgeable in the area to make sure that you are getting the care that you require without sacrificing all that you have worked for.

After three years of planning and a groundbreaking ceremony last Octo-ber, Gallery North officially opened its Community Art Center to the public last Sunday afternoon with a launch party followed by a ribbon cutting.

Baldassano Architecture of Patchogue designed the 1,500-square-foot, state-of-the-art building, which features LED lighting, radiant floor heating and an insulating glass wall. Construction com-pany LoDuca Associates of Holbrook paid tribute to the site’s history as a 1935 Mobil filling station, keeping the origi-nal front door and garage door.

The new center, located adjacent to the gallery, will offer innovative fine arts education and outreach activi-ties for children and adults, advanced workshop opportunities for profession-al practicing artists, inspiring ArTalks — combined visual and educational ex-periences — and arts- and film-related discussion series. Its open layout has been designed to cater to art-making processes, including printmaking, sculpture, drawing and painting.

Hundreds of community members, along with local artists and elected of-ficials, came out to help celebrate and show their support. The event featured a tour of the facility, art activities for children such as monotype printing and working with clay, live music by the Ro-berta Fabiano Trio, refreshments and a champagne toast.

The highlight of the afternoon was the unique art demonstrations, featur-ing Asian brush painting by Sungsook Setton, batik-making by Fernanda Var-gas — which models the Japanese art of cloth-dyeing — and several different types of printmaking techniques by Lo-rena Salcedo-Watson and Larissa Grass.

“The future community art center at Gallery North is here [and] it’s really exciting,” said Gallery North’s Direc-tor Judith Levy who went on to thank sponsors, donors, the teaching staff and the board for all their continued support.

“We want to be a resource for the community, not only here in this room … where classes are offered for chil-dren, teens, adults, professional artists and adults with disabilities and early stage dementia,” said Nancy Goroff, president of the board. “We are trying to offer programs for the whole com-munity and we are really gratified by the response we’ve gotten.”

Elected officials also spoke at the event.“[The gallery has had] a long 50-year legacy of bring-

ing art and culture and education to adults and kids alike and building this, creating this just will expand that legacy,” Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) said. “I know there were struggles along the way, but thank you for your perseverance, for sticking with it, because you are going to do so many great things and so many children, teenagers, adults will have an outlet for their creativity, and who knows what can happen because of that?”

Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) added, “This is such an ideal year to have a community art center on the 50th anniversary of Gallery North. It was a vision and now it is a reality … It’s so important that we stick together as a community, and this is a perfect example of that.”

Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) com-mented on how wonderful it was to see everyone sup-porting the growth of arts in the community “and Gallery North’s contribution to that over a third of a century now has come to a crescendo with this spec-tacular re-construction of a pre-existing building.”

“Congratulations to the trustees for your vision and determination in taking an old garage that was filled with broken auto parts and grease and trans-forming it into this,” he added. “Hats off to all who’ve been involved … and now our children and our fam-ilies and all the creative energies of our community have a new focus.”

If you would like to find out about upcoming events and studio art classes at the new Community Art Cen-ter, located at 84 N. Country Road in Setauket, please call 631-751-2676 or visit www.gallerynorth.org.

A perennial favorite on the North Shore, the Setauket Artists’ Exhibition returns to the Setauket Neighborhood House, from Oct. 25 to Nov. 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Now in its 35th year, the art show will feature the works of 43 local artists in a variety of media.

“I am surprised and very pleased with the longevity and the success of the show,” said artist Flo Kemp, who organized the group of local artists that became known as the Setauket Artists back in 1980. Ten years ago, she turned the helm over to Irene Ruddock, an ex-hibiting artist who has continued to up-hold all the traditions of the beginning exhibit as well as adding new traditions of her own.

When asked about her ten year ten-ure, Ruddock said, “It has been an excit-ing and rewarding experience for me, because I have had the privilege of work-ing with these exceptional artists who have become my friends. I’m also on the board of the Setauket Neighborhood House, whose members are sincerely dedicated to the preservation and wel-fare of this historic house.” The Setauket Artists will contribute a portion of their profits to the preservation effort.

“When I began, I set goals that I wanted to achieve for the show. The most important was to always seek out the highest quality of art work; paint-ings that people want to hang in their homes, giving them pleasure each day. ‘Art for a Lifetime’ — that is the Se-tauket Artists’ motto. We never take our collectors for granted, because we sincerely are grateful when we find the perfect match for a piece of art,” said Ruddock, adding that the group is privileged to have a Joseph Reboli giclee print available for purchase this year, titled “Pumpkin Light.”

One of the exhibiting artists, Mary Jane van Zeijts, who will be opening her own teaching studio and gallery at 268 Main Street in Port Jefferson in Novem-ber, said “I love this group of artists, not only for their work, but as human be-ings. The Setauket Artists are a beauti-ful art community.”

The exhibit will be sponsored by Fred Bryant, of Bryant Funeral Home in East Setauket, who has believed in and sup-ported the artists for ten years.

This year’s honored judge, Steve For-ster, director of Long Island Academy of Fine Art in Glen Cove, will choose winners from the categories of Best in Show, Award of Excellence, Award of Merit, Award of Distinction and Hon-orable Mention.

Jim Molloy will be the Setauket Art-ists’ Honored Artist this year, chosen by the artists themselves for his stun-ning artwork and his contributions to the organization. “[The Setauket Art-ists’ Exhibition] is the perfect venue for displaying my work and seeing the creative process of the other artists,” he said.

Stop by any time during the ex-hibit to take a chance on this year’s raffle paintings. Molloy will contrib-ute a giclee of one of his most popular pieces, titled “Vestiges,” along with a soft-ground etching by Flo Kemp titled “Beach Cottages.”

All artwork will be for sale at af-fordable prices, so consider doing your holiday shopping with the Se-tauket Artists. The exhibit will open with an artist reception at the Se-tauket Neighborhood House, 95 Main St., Setauket, on Sunday, Oct. 25, from 1 to 4 p.m. For more informa-tion, call 631-751-6208 or visit www.setauketneighborhoodhouse.com.

Dream It... Design It... Create It...

Dream It... Design It... Create It...

By EllEn BarcEl

Squash, the genus Cucurbita, are grown today extensively throughout the world as a food source. They are one of the Three Sisters (corn, beans and squash), which were developed in the Americas and then taken by European explorers back home.

One of them, zucchini is so closely as-sociated with Italian cooking that most people don’t realize that it is a native of the Americas, not Italy.

Squash are generally grouped in two categories, summer squash and winter squash. Most are vines and, although some are perennials, they are grown in temperate regions as annuals. The plants easily self-seed. I’ve even seen them growing along sidewalks from seeds that overwintered from decorative pumpkins left outside.

Incidentally, although gourds look similar to squash, they are not native to the Americas, but rather Africa. The same is true of melons. Gourds and mel-ons, however, are related to squash (fam-ily Cucurbitaceae, but a different genus).

Squash, botanically are fruit, in the same way that tomatoes are. They are the ripened seed pod of the plant. Summer squash are harvested in summer, before the skin hardens. Summer squash in-clude zucchini, yellow summer squash, scallop squash and yellow crookneck squash.

Winter squash are harvested in fall, after the skin has hardened. Therefore, these squash need to be peeled before use. Varieties of winter squash include hubbard squash, turban squash, pump-kin, butternut squash, acorn squash and spaghetti squash. We tend to think of winter squash as traditionally served at Thanksgiving (pumpkin pie and butter-nut squash in particular); however, spa-ghetti squash is available in supermar-

kets year round and is frequently roasted and served with tomato sauce, in place of spaghetti made from wheat to cut down on carbs.

Squash are known for their high vita-min content (particularly A) and trace minerals, making them an excellent ad-dition to the diet.

My favorite butternut squash recipe takes butternut squash cubes cooked with sausage, thyme, salt and pep-per in a skillet in chicken or beef broth with some onions until the sausage and squash are done.

Squash blossoms are edible as well. The ones generally seen in markets are zucchini blossoms. They are usually fried, but they can be baked, stuffed with cheese and spices, served with spaghetti or in soups. There are plenty of recipes online to satisfy all.

Since zucchini plants are so prolific, you’ll still get plenty of squash if you eat some of the flowers.

Squash grows in a wide variety of soil types but does need fertilizer (for exam-ple, composted manure). They produce the most fruits in sun. They grow in a soil pH of 5.5 to 7.5 (very acidic to mildly alkaline, with 7 being neutral). They can be grown in large containers, so if you have a small yard, you can put the con-tainer on a deck or patio.

According to the seed company Bur-pee, cucurbits don’t like to have their roots disturbed, so either plant them directly outside, start them in peat pots, which can be planted whole in the gar-den, or buy seedlings from a nursery, being careful not to disturb the roots. They also suggest adding fertilizer when the plants begin to blossom and set fruit since squash are heavy feeds (like tomatoes).

Like tomatoes, these are tender plants. They like warm soil (so don’t put them out too early in a cool spring) and need

a steady supply of water, so be aware of weeks of little or no rain.

Winter squash can also be used as outdoor decorations in the fall. Some squash develop into really weird shapes naturally while others are accidental crosses between two varieties producing

things like green pumpkins. Ellen Barcel is a freelance writer and

By Heidi Sutton

The chilly 45-degree weather did not deter close to 300 brave souls who came out for a special walk through local his-tory last Saturday night as the Three Vil-lage Historical Society held its 21st an-nual Spirits Tour, “The Culper Spy Ring: From Secrecy to Victory.”

“The Culper Spy Ring has really been making news lately,” Carolyn Benson, one of the tour guides, said. This tour shows “how many people from this area were involved.”

The host of the tour, Emma S. Clark, whose name graces the library in Setauket and was portrayed by Karin Lynch, set the scene for what was to come.

“The Culper Spy Ring was a group of men known as the Secret Six who helped George Washington win the war. … Their identity was so secretive that Gen. Washington never knew their true iden-tity. Their messages were written in code and their letters were in invisible ink,” she

said. “Tonight you will meet with these patriots and some loyalists who will share their stories with you about what it was like during and after the war.”

The 1.5-hour tours ran throughout the evening, beginning with the Young Historian tours. Each group, carrying flashlights and lanterns, was led through the cemeteries of the Setauket Presbyte-rian Church [established in the late 17th century] and the Caroline Church of Brookhaven [established in 1729].

All the key players were present, from Abraham Woodhull, the leader of the Culper Spy Ring, Major Benjamin Tall-madge, Caleb Brewster, Austin Roe, Anna Smith Strong, James Rivington and Robert Townsend to Gen. George Washington and Gen. Benedict Arnold,

the infamous traitor. Woodhull, por-trayed by Dennis O’Connor, appeared at the foot of his own grave in the Presbyte-rian cemetery during the tour.

Lesser-known community spirits made appearances as well, including Bette Harmon, born into slavery to the Strong family; Maj. John Andre, a Brit-ish spy whose capture exposed Bene-dict Arnold as a traitor; loyalist Col. Benjamin Floyd; patriot Rev. Zachariah Greene; and a special appearance by Se-talcott Nation members Helen “Morning Star” Sells and Nellie Edwards. In total, 20 spirits were conjured to provide an insight into their lives during the Revo-lutionary War.

The period costumes, provided by Nan Guzzetta, gave the entire event an

eerily authentic feel.At each stop, the spirits gave out secret

codes that, when compiled and decoded, formed a secret letter for Gen. Washing-ton, who was the last stop of the night.

Nine-year-old Alex Perrone, of Stony Brook, was experiencing the tour for the first time with his mother, Lauren, but came well prepared.

“My mom and I read a book called ‘Redcoats and Petticoats,’” he said.

Alex enjoyed the tour, especially meet-ing Gen. George Washington and learn-ing about the Setalcott tribe and their longhouses, and said he would definitely do it again. His mom agreed, adding, “I just thought it was really informative and I thought the actors were wonderful and I think it was a great way to learn about local history and this special place.”

In all, the 21st annual Spirits Tour was a rare historical treat. For more informa-tion, visit the historical society’s website at www.tvhs.org.

Towson spoils Stony Brook’s HomecomingDespite a two-touchdown perfor-

mance from sophomore wide receiver Ray Bolden, the Stony Brook Univer-sity football team fell to visiting Towson University, 21-14, on Saturday night in front of a record crowd of 12,177 fans at LaValle Stadium.

“At the end of the day, Towson de-served to win the game,” Stony Brook head coach Chuck Priore said. “Th ey made more plays when it counted. We need to play better on off ense. We need

to play better in certain situations on de-fense. It is always a team loss.”

Towson (3-3, 2-2 Colonial Athletic Association Football) spoiled the Sea-wolves’ (2-3, 1-3 CAA) homecoming by scoring the game-winning touchdown with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter.

Stony Brook struck early, with a touch-down pass less than fi ve minutes into the game. Senior quarterback Conor Bed-narski hit Bolden in the back corner of the right side of the end zone from 25 yards away that capped a four-play, 32-yard drive. Senior kicker Przemyslaw Popek’s point-aft er attempt was good.Bolden struck again, fi ve minutes later, when redshirt freshman quarterback Joe Carbone found him in the end zone with a 13-yard pass that capped a nine-play, 61-yard drive. Popek’s extra point was again good. Towson clawed back into the game with a 65-yard scoop and score fumble return by Donnell Lewis, with 11:31 left in the second quarter. Sam Hurwitz’s point-aft er attempt was good. Th e Tigers evened the score with a three-yard run by running back Darius Victor, with 5:23 left in the third quarter. Tow-son completed the comeback when Victor

crossed the goal line aft er a six-yard run with 50 seconds remaining in the game.

“Th e story for us all year has been ei-ther we come out slow and pick it up in the second half or, as we showed today, we come out fast and slow down, and can’t

fi nish,” Bolden said. “We have everything we need. We just have to fi nish games.”

Stony Brook will travel to the University of Maine to face the Black Bears next Sat-urday at 12:30 p.m., before returning home to host Elon University on Halloween.

Johnstonbaugh’s first career goal lifts Seawolves over UMass Lowell

Th e Stony Brook women’s soccer team (6-7-3, 3-2-1 AE) extended its home unbeaten streak to eight games on Sun-day night with a 1-0 victory over the University of Massachusetts Lowell (5-11-0, 2-4-0 AE). Freshman defender Ju-lie Johnstonbaugh proved to be the hero, heading a Tessa Devereaux cross into the net for her fi rst career goal.

“It was a great conference matchup,” Stony Brook head coach Sue Ryan said. “It was a little bit of a dogfi ght, but scor-ing an early goal helped. Credit UMass Lowell for coming out fi ring in the sec-ond half, but we did a good job of hold-ing the lead and securing the victory.”

Johnstonbaugh’s goal came 11 min-utes into the match. Devereaux, a senior midfi elder, controlled a throw-in and put the ball into the mix, where it was met by the charging Johnstonbaugh. She fi n-ished low and to the right side of the goal to put the Seawolves up 1-0.

Redshirt junior forward Raven Ed-

wards got around the right side of the River Hawks defense and squared the ball to freshman forward Steffi Page, but her shot was kept out by a kick save.

Edwards almost scored moments later, but her left -footed shot curled just wide of goal.

Freshman defender Kaitlin Loughren, who tied Edwards with a team-high three shots, hit the crossbar early in the second half with a powerful strike from the top of the box.

Devereaux’s assist moved her into solo fourth place on the school’s all-time as-sist list. She trails the all-time record by three and the Division I record by one.

Junior Emily Doherty posted her sec-ond shutout of the season, with three saves. For the week, she stopped 20 of the 21 shots she faced, and earned America East Player of the Week honors.

Th e Seawolves are tied with the Uni-versity of Maine and the University of Vermont for third place in the confer-

Stony Brook is 6-0-2 in its last eight home matches

ence, but they possess a game-in-hand on the Catamounts. Th ey are two points behind the University of Hartford and the University of New Hampshire, with a game-in-hand on the Wildcats.

Stony Brook heads to the University of Maine today, for a key matchup with the Black Bears at 7 p.m.

K N O W L E D G E

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

Ferdinand Magellan didn’t have the luxury of sending a ma-chine into the unknown around the world before he took to the seas. Modern humans, how-ever, dispatch satellites, rovers and orbiters into the farthest reaches of the universe. Several months a� er the New Horizons spacecra� beamed back the � rst close-up images of Pluto from over three billion miles away, NASA con� rmed the presence of water on Mars.

� e Mars discovery continues the excitement over the possibil-ity of sending astronauts to the Red Planet as early as the 2030s.

Before astronauts can take a journey between planets that average 140 million miles apart, scientists need to � gure out the health e� ects of prolonged expo-sure to damaging radiation.

Each year, liaison biologist Peter Guida at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) at Brookhaven National Laboratory coordinates the visits of over 400 scientists to a facility designed to determine, among other things, what radiation does to the human body and to � nd possible preven-tion or treatment for any damage.

Guida is working to “improve our understanding of the e� ects that space radiation from cosmic rays have on humans,” explained Michael Sivertz, a physicist at the same facility. “He would like to make sure that voyages to Mars do not have to be one-way trips.”

Guida said radiation induces

un-repaired and mis-repaired DNA damage. Enough accumu-lated mutations can cause cancer. Radiation also induces reactive oxygen species and produces sec-ondary damage that is like aging.

� e results from these experi-ments could provide insights that lead to a better understand-ing of diseases in general and may reveal potential targets for treatment.

� is type of research could help those who battle cancer, neurological defects or other health challenges, Guida said.

By observing the molecular changes tissues and cells grown in the lab undergo in model systems as they transition from healthy to cancerous, researchers can look to protect or restore ge-netic systems that might be espe-cially vulnerable.

If the work done at the NSRL uncovers some of those genetic steps, it could also provide re-searchers and, down the road, doctors with a way of using those genes as predictors of cancer or can o� er guidance in tailoring individualized medical treatment based on the molecular signature of a developing cancer, Guida suggested.

Guida conducts research on neural progenitor cells, which can create other types of cells in the nervous system, such as astrocytes. He also triggers dif-ferentiation in these cells and works with mature neurons. He has collaborated with Roger M. Loria, a professor in microbiol-ogy and immunology at Virginia

Commonwealth University, on a compound that reverses the dam-age from radiation on the hema-tological, or blood, system.

� e compound can increase red blood cells, hemoglobin and platelet counts even a� er expo-sure to some radiation. It also increases monocytes and the number of bone marrow cells. A treatment like this might be like having the equivalent of a � re extinguisher nearby, not only for astronauts but also for those who might be exposed to radiation through accidents like Fukushi-ma or Chernobyl or in the event of a deliberate act.

Loria is conducting tests for Food and Drug Administration approval, Guida said.

If this compound helps astro-nauts, it might also have applica-tions for other health challenges, although any other uses would require careful testing.

While Guida conducts and col-laborates on research, he spends the majority of his time ensuring that the NSRL is meeting NASA’s scienti� c goals and objectives by supporting the research of inves-tigators who conduct their stud-ies at the site. He and a team of support personnel at NSRL set up the labs and equipment for these visiting scientists. He also sched-ules time on the beam line that generates ionizing particles.

Guida is “very well respected within the space radiation com-munity, which is why he was chosen to have such responsibil-ity,” said Sivertz, who has known Guida for a decade.

Guida and his wife Susan, a therapist who is in private prac-tice, live in Searingtown.

While Guida recalls making a drawing in crayon a� er watch-ing Neil Armstrong land on the moon, he didn’t seek out an op-

portunity at BNL because of a long-standing interest in space. Rather, his scienti� c interest stemmed from a desire to con-tribute to cancer research.

When he was 15, his mother Jennie, who was a seamstress, died a� er a two-year battle with cancer. Guida started out his ca-reer at Cold Spring Harbor Labo-ratory, where he hoped to make at least the “tiniest contribution” to cancer research.

He pursued postdoctoral re-search at BNL to study the link between mutations, radiation and cancer.

Guida feels as if he’s contribut-ed to cancer research and likes to think his mother is proud of him. “Like a good scientist,” though, he said he’s “never satis� ed. Good science creates the need to do more good science. When you � nd something out, that natural-ly leads to more questions.”

BNL’s Guida wants to ensure mission to Mars isn’t “one-way trip”

Local haunts brew up eerie Halloween entertainment

h a l l o w e e n h a p p e n i n g s

By Rita Egan

Scaring up some Halloween fun isn’t tricky when you live on or near the North Shore of Suffolk County. However, beware; some activities are not for scaredy cats.

Those taking a hayride at Benner’s Farm, 56 Gnarled Hollow Road, E. Se-tauket, will find that things will get a little spookier on Oct. 30 and 31. While visitors will find an array of static figures, including ogres, witches and ghosts, in the fields on any given day this month, the creatures will come alive on Hallow-een eve and day from 6 to 9 p.m. when the farm offers Haunted Hayrides.

Owner Bob Benner said the event is open to all ages, but he warns that the later the ride is, the scarier it gets. “We have had some people who have been re-ally scared and other people who simply just enjoyed the ride a lot,” he said.

Mr. Benner said the farm staff, along with volunteers, play the creatures that can come out of nowhere and jump toward the hayride or unexpectedly scream. In addition, there are different tableaus, including the farm’s spooky cemetery, where visitors may witness a ghoulish figure up to something evil.

Mr. Benner said the creativity of those in the field always amazes him. “I never quite know what they are going to come up with in terms of scaring folks.” Rides, which cost $6 per person, leave every 20 minutes. Visit with the animals and have a Halloween treat while you wait. For more information, visit www.bennersfarm.com or call 631-689-8172.

Over at F&W Schmitt’s Family Farm in

Melville, 26 Pinelawn Road, a mad doctor who encountered a book of ancient texts has taken over. Visitors to The Haunted Mansion of Melville will encounter other-worldly creatures as well as various oddi-ties during their spine-chilling visit.

Outside, those who dare can ex-plore The Haunted Corn Maze where the physician dumps his patients who may or may not be dead. There’s also a high-intensity live stage show, “The Ex-periment,” that gives spectators the opportunity to witness some of the doctor’s ex-periments on his patients.

The show, which is enhanced with special effects, isn’t recommended for those with heart conditions or those who cannot handle intense situations.

For more hair-raising Halloween mo-ments, head over to The Darkside Haunt-ed House at 5184 Rt. 25A, Wading River.

The indoor and outdoor attraction, which spans over 14,000 square feet, features movie-quality sets and bone-chilling spe-cial effects. While The Darkside Haunted House is not recommended for children under 12 years old, an early matinee from

1 to 5 p.m. on weekend days, with the lights on and no live actors, is

available for the little ones as well as the weak of

heart. The Darkside Haunted House is

open weekdays and weekends until Nov. 1. Tickets start at $18. For more information and hours, visit www.darksideproduc-

tions.com or call 631-369-SCARE.

For a tamer treat, join the animals at

Sweetbriar Nature Cen-ter, 62 Eckernkamp Dr.,

Smithtown, during their annual Halloween Spook-tacular. Children are encouraged to wear costumes as they spend the day walking through the ghostly garden, and participating in the scavenger hunt, story time, crafts and sensory activities. New this year, visitors can travel the Jack O’ Lantern trail deco-rated with hand-carved and glowing pumpkins. The Spook-tacular is sched-uled for Friday, Oct. 23, and Saturday, Oct. 24, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. and costs $7 per person. The center will also offer a Not-So-Spooky Spook-tacular on Oct. 24 from

3:30 to 5 p.m. For more information, or to contribute a carved or uncarved pumpkin, call Eric at 631-979-6344, ext. 302.

Spooky stories will fill the halls of the museum of the Hallock Homestead Farm, 6038 Sound Ave., Riverhead, dur-ing its Haunted Museum Tours on Fri-day, Oct. 30, at 4:30 p.m. More than 250 years of Hallockville Homestead dark secrets will be exposed, including the death of the Phantom British Officer.

During the tour, one may hear the hair-raising sobs of the broken-heart-ed Spectral Bride searching for her lost love, and guests may even encounter the ghost of the dishonest Regretful Rumrunner, doomed by his own poi-soned drink. Based on historical fact, local folklore and urban legend, the tour was created by professional ac-tress, costume designer and museum educator Colette Gilbert.

Beth Motschenbacher, assistant di-rector, said this is the first year the museum is offering the tour. “I hope people enjoy seeing the historic home-stead in a different light and learning a little bit more about the darker side of folklore,” she said.

Tours, which depart from the Hudson-Sydlowski house, last 50 to 60 minutes and run every 15 minutes until 7:45 p.m. Advance reservations are recommended. Geared for all ages, admission is $7 for adults and children age 10 and under are free. For more information, call 631-298-5292 or visit www.hallockville.com.
