“The first duty of wine is to be red. The second is to be a Burgundy.”

— Alec Waugh, 1898–1981, British novelist, “In Praise of Wine,” 1959

Burgundy, a historic wine-producing region of France, is located in the central eastern part of the country just southeast of Paris. Burgundy is one of France’s six major wine-produc-ing regions, making red and white dry wines, along with dry sparkling wines. Most red wines are produced from pinot noir grapes and most white wines are pro-duced from chardon-nay grapes. Approxi-mately 80 percent of wine produced there is red.

Burgundy has a lengthy wine-mak-ing history that dates back nearly 2000 years. Some of the world’s most famous wine villages and vineyards are located in Burgundy, and many can trace their origins back to the Christian monks of the Middle Ages. One district of great importance is the Côte d’Or or the “gold-en slope” of Burgundy. It is divided into two sectors: the Côte de Nuits (north) and the Côte de Beaune (south).

I recently had the opportunity to taste the wines of Domaine Faiveley located in the Côte de Nuits, which was founded in 1825 by Pierre Faiveley. The winery owns approximately 330 acres of vineyards and produces nearly 50, dry red and white wines. My tasting notes follow:

2013 Bourgogne Blanc: Clean, crisp bouquet of pineapple and citrus. Over-tones of almonds and green apple in the mouth.

2013 Gevrey-Chambertin: Deep cherry-colored with a full, rich bouquet and flavor of black cherry, black currant and spices; powerful and structured with a firm tannic backbone and ever-present earthy notes.

2013 Mercurey Blanc: Light yellow in color with a bouquet and taste of citrus, apples and butter. A sort of minerally flavor is present with a great finish and lingering aftertaste.

2013 Meursault “1er Cru Blagny”: Light lemon color with a fresh bouquet

of grass, almonds, lemons and green ap-ples. Light-bodied with a pleasing flavor of pineapple, lime and pear.

2013 Nuits-Saint-Georges “1er Cru Aux Chaignots”: Ruby-colored with a bou-quet of blackberry, blueberry, violets and cedar. Dry, medium-bodied with plenty of fruit, hints of black pepper and oak.

Burgundy also produces some fine cheeses, most of which are consid-ered farmhouse with strong, rustic aromas and flavors. Recom-mendations are:

Aisy Cendré: A thin disk-shaped cow’s milk cheese with a creamy white interior and soft tex-ture. It is very strong smelling with a tangy flavor. The cheese is cured with marc and then stored in grape-vine ashes (or cendré) until it matures.

Bleu de Bresse: A cow’s milk cheese

with a dusty, white exterior, sometimes foil wrapped. Small wheels or cylinders with a velvety and creamy texture. In 1950, Bleu de Bresse was developed to compete with the Italian gorgonzola.

Bouton-de-Culotte: A goat’s milk cheese from the Mâcon area. It is made into shapes resembling “trouser but-tons,” which is soft when young but be-comes dry and crumbly with age. It has a grayish-brown exterior with blue specks and a pale yellow interior, with a strong peppery and nutty flavor.

Époisses de Bourgogne: A cow’s milk cheese with an orange-brown, edible rind (which is washed in white wine or marc); pale yellow interior; disk-shaped. It has a strong, spicy, pungent, tangy fla-vor, sometimes flavored with black pep-per, cloves or fennel. When aged, hints of ammonia arise. The cheese has been made in the small town of Époisses since the late 1700s.

Bob Lipinski, a local author, has writ-ten nine books, including “101: Everything You Need To Know About Whiskey” and “Italian Wine & Cheese Made Simple” (available on Amazon.com). He conducts training seminars on wine & cheese; sales, time management and leadership. He can be reached at boblipinski.com or [email protected].

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

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


A paradigm shift in breast cancer preventionm e d i c a l c o m p a s s

Let’s start with a quiz.

We talk a good story about prevention, but most of the time, we in the medical community are guilty of confusing prima-ry prevention with early detection. Breast cancer is no exception. The answer to the above question is (c).

If you’re a woman and thought that there was not enough intrigue during a doctor’s appointment, the new recommendations from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the results from the recent ductal carci-noma in situ (DCIS) study should help spice up the conversation with your physician.

For the first time since 2003, the ACS has changed its recommendations for the use of mammography in the early detec-tion of cancer. The guidelines have become less aggressive. We will review this in greater detail.

What about DCIS? This is where atypi-cal cells that look like potential cancer cells that may metastasize can be picked up on mammography. DCIS is known as stage 0 cancer. DCIS is found specifically in the mammary glands (milk ducts). The in situ portion of the phrase means “in place.” The current treatment regimen almost certainly involves surgery — a lumpecto-my, mastectomy (complete removal of the breast), or even double mastectomy. DCIS has the potential to progress to invasive cancer, or it may be cancer in its own right.

However, it may not. This is where the quandary begins. It may just be another potential risk factor for those with average

risk. We are not talking about those with high risk, either personal or family history. This is a different category.

DCIS used to make up 3 percent of breast cancer diagnoses. But now, it has increased to approximately a quarter of breast cancer diagnoses in the United States (1), in large part due to the use of mammography. The expected number of women diagnosed with DCIS in 2015 is 60,000 (2).

And then there is diet, which may help with the primary, or “true,” breast cancer prevention. Let’s look at the research.

How have the ACS guidelines changed for mammography?

Ironically, during breast cancer aware-ness month, the ACS, a well-respected organization, loosened the guidelines for average-risk patients (3). Changes include the age and frequency of mammography, based on data from randomized controlled trials, observational trials and modeling studies done since 2003. ACS increased the recommended mammography age from 40 to 45 years old. Then recommending patients be screened by mammography annually until age 54. After 54, the exam should be biennial (every other year), as long as the predicted reasonably healthy life span is at least 10 years.

However, women may use their own prerogative to obtain mammograms an-nually between 40 and 44 years old and after 54. The ACS no longer recommends clinical (in-office) breast exams in average-risk women. It may not seem like a large difference, but after having talked to some gynecologists, they are more comfortable with starting patient screening at age 45.

The reasons for these changes include the recognition that mammography is less than perfect and may result in recall, especially in younger women, and a po-tential for false positives, which can lead to invasive biopsies. Also, the clinical breast exams data is very low quality (4).

Unfortunately, there is no uniformity among the recommendations. The ACS recommendations are not as radical as the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), though they are getting closer. In 2009, USPSTF recommended women undergo mammography starting at age 50 and every other year until 75 (5). Like ACS, USPSTF doesn’t recommend clinical breast exams.

Stage 0 breast cancer — DCISWe used to think there was a linear re-

lationship in cancer, where early-stage cells would eventually become malignant. How-ever, this may not always be the case. In fact, we may be overtreating DCIS, this early form of breast cancer. In the SEER study, results showed that, at the 20-year mark, mortality rate was similar, 3.3 percent, re-gardless of surgical treatment with either lumpectomy with or without radiation or a mastectomy (6). This percent is similar to ACS’s estimated average risk of women in general dying from breast cancer.

However, the rate of mortality was greater in those who were under 35 years old, compared to older women and for those who were black, with a 2.5-fold in-creased risk for both groups. Many times, those under ages 35 to 40 with DCIS are symptomatic, presenting with a significant mass and blood discharge from the nipple. Certain characteristics increase risk of DCIS mortality, such as estrogen receptor status, the size of the mass, as well as grade of DCIS. If the DCIS developed into inva-sive breast cancer, then the risk of death went up 13 to 18 times.

The problem is, it is not clear who will develop DCIS that will result in mortality in its own right or develop invasive breast cancer. Recurrence of DCIS did not have an increase in mortality. There were ap-proximately 100,000 women in this large observational study. We need randomized controlled trials as follow-up to this data before more definitive statements can be made. Interestingly, this is eerily similar to early-stage prostate cancer, where the younger male population and blacks have higher risks of advanced disease and death.

The incidence of breast cancer mor-talities should have declined as more and more DCIS cases were identified. Unfor-tunately, there has been no significant change in mortality from breast cancer (7). Aggressive treatments with radiation after lumpectomy did not result in any more favorable results than without radiation. Some gynecologists have suggested that, if you receive a DCIS diagnosis, a second pa-thology consult might be in order to con-firm that it’s DCIS.

Lifestyle to the rescueIn the PREDIMED trial, results show

that with the Mediterranean-type diet that includes supplemental olive oil, the risk of malignant breast cancer was reduced by a significant 68 percent, compared to the

control arm (8). The control arm was based on a low-fat diet. The strengths of this trial were that it was the first randomized con-trolled trial with diet and breast cancer, as well as having 4,152 participants and a solid duration of 4.8 years.

Unfortunately, there were weaknesses; breast cancer was a secondary end point, so not everyone received a screening mam-mography at baseline, and there was a low overall incidence of breast cancer. Still, this is an exciting trial that needs to be repeated. The diet may have been advantageous be-cause of its antioxidant properties. There were no adverse reactions to the Mediter-ranean diet; in fact, this trial was stopped early because of positive cardiovascular re-sults, the primary end point.

It could be summed this way: If you want simple, true prevention, then think diet! If you have DCIS, you will likely have a stimu-lating conversation with your doctor about options. There is even a breast surgeon at UCSF, Laura J. Esserman, M.D., who is will-ing to put average-risk DCIS patients on ac-tive surveillance instead of surgery, though she is in the minority. And for all of you who hate the pain of having your breasts crushed during mammography, you can thank the ACS for the guideline changes.References:

The Minstrel Players of Northport, now “under new management,” opened last Saturday, Oct. 24, with its 4th annual original play festival, “Back to the Zone.”

A panorama of seven short, one-act plays in the style of Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone,” it showed the sure hand of Evan Donnellon, the Minstrel’s new executive producer.

In “Death Here” by Steven Gianturco, the figure of Death, played by John Leone, black hood and plastic scythe, gets a phone call announcing the arrival of another de-ceased, Gil Joe Lesko, who arrives “early.” A madcap dialog ensues between the two. Three parts of standard eschatology’s four divisions rapidly envelopes their trigger-tongued discourse: Heaven, Hell, Death … missing was Punishment. In fact Lesko manages to in the “argument” about the afterlife. Total resolution … to be seen.

Leone is overpowering in his role; the overworked office worker, constantly pushed to get more paperwork done, handle files and phone calls. His projection was ex-cellent. Lesko discharged his part with in-tegrity. He is possessed of a truly theatrical face, reminiscent of the elder Paul Guilfoyle with a touch of Harry Langdon.

“Isabelle” by Ceara Lee Taylor is a two-character effort featuring Tricia Ieronimo

in the title role and Brian Hartwig as boyfriend Michael. The two are on a park bench reminiscing about old times like old lovers until it is realized that one of them is long dead. This is a vignette literarily influ-enced by James Joyce’s “The Dead.” Ieroni-mo is competent and Hartwig is consistent in characterization.

“Baby Monitor” by Ray Palen is a three-character play with Mark Swinson and Stephanie Leinoff as husband and wife Rick and Amy. They have purchased an electronic “baby monitor,” presumably to “baby sit” their newborn. Later Amy is convinced extra-terrestrials are being in-troduced through the monitor. They call

in a psychic. Here enters Roseanne Bal-danza as Thaniel. Baldanza is outstanding with deadpan pseudo-mystical gestures, a haunting voice and extra precise timing … a serio-comic role played to the hilt.

“Reset” by Jerry Eitel features Paul Graf as Man, Christine Sullivan as Woman and

115446Michael and Olivia Puglisi as Boy and Girl. John Wolf crashes on as Gangster. The the-sis of the play is that Man and Woman have no idea of their identity; they do not know even their names or whereabouts. Only later the two children provide a rationale for their existence. Graf projects well and is almost Hamlet-like in his groping for re-ality. Sullivan is all charm, but neither of them can break the closeted psyches until the children come on stage. They help the two become real. The kids’ delivery was a tad recitative, but they were obviously at home on the bards. Wolf, in a loud pin-striped suit and armed is the oppressive, arrogant hood demanding to know his identity. He too is “realized” by the kids.

A late-hours, closing time barroom is the setting for “Deathless” by Evan Don-nellan, the heaviest of the seven. A char-acter billed only as Stranger enters looking for just one more drink. The actor is Carl Nehring, and his tour de force about being deathless, unable to die, is a monument to skilled acting, articulate in form and con-sistent in delivery. The tired, bored bar-tender is Lou Lentino. He is the perfect foil for Nehring’s diatribe. Lentino understates the role with precision. The interfacing of the two is the armature of the show, and it is no less than riveting. Even the one word “God!” spoken during the blackout unrav-els the thesis penetratingly. It was a truly captivating theatrical experience.

“The Waiting Room” by Dave Bus-cema features two characters here in neat business suits — Paul Graf as Mr. Lanes and Bob Oliver as Man but who acts as Lanes’ conscience. Lanes is waiting to be called into the boss’s office to hear of his much sought after promotion up the cor-

porate ladder. Oliver delivers a scathing, but soft rundown of Lanes’ past peccadil-loes as well as his cheating and hubris. Graf does the rendition drill quite well. He dis-plays disbelief, insult, anger and eventually self-righteousness with plasticity. Oliver handles the role of unerring conscience with icy persistence. Lanes is called in as his wife Amy, played by Christine Sullivan, enters. In his arms they both face a pros-perous future as Oliver simply glowers.

In “The Cook Book or the Cupcake Recipe” by Jordan Hue, four characters ar-rive at an unexplainably messy old house intent on a weekend of fun. They are Jes Almeida as Carly, Emily Dowdell as Dev-on, Christina Corsaro as Hope and Brian Hartwig as Walter. Later Carl Nehring will appear as Bill. As they are unpacking, Dev-on finds what looks like an ancient cook-book but is really a grimoire, a textbook of magic. Its effect on all of them is to repack and get out of there. A blackout is used here to express passage of time. With lights up, one of them is close to newly arrived Bill as they pore over the dusty grimoire. All acting in this performance was first rate. Special kudos go to Emily Dowdell who developed Devon as real, individuated and dominant with a controlled approach that made her outstanding.

Undoubtedly, the persistent theme of death was notably seen in practically all of the seven. One asks was this a reflection of the secular humanist culture in which we find ourselves, or was it just the deliberate objective of the new, young playwrights?

The Minstrel Players will present “Back to the Zone” at Trinity Episcopal Church’s Houghton Hall, 130 Main St., Northport, on Nov. 1 at 3 p.m., Nov. 7 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 8 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $20 adults, $15 seniors and children under 12.

The year 2015 marked Smithtown’s 350th anniversary and the return of mov-ies to the town. In addition to commemo-rative events, locals were able to stop by the Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts and take in a feature film to enhance their trip down memory lane.

The movie theater that once operated in the building where SCPA stands today opened in 1933 and offered motion pic-tures until November of 2001. Toward the end of November 2014, the building, which has not been significantly altered aesthetically in over 80 years, once again became home to beloved movies to com-

memorate the town’s milestone. While the original lineup of films planned for the theater will wrap up on Oct. 30 with “The Sixth Sense” and “The Exorcist,” management has planned to offer more movies in the upcoming months. Tickets for this double feature are $10.00.

Ian Washington, house manager, hosted numerous movie nights at the theater this year. Washington said while attendance varied, overall the movie nights were well received by local resi-dents. During the year he heard com-ments such as “we’re so happy you’re doing this again” and “please keep do-ing it.”

Washington said in addition to the-atergoers being pleased to see the films, they also requested that the performing arts center show others. “It was a great experience and a great test run of what we know we can do,” he said.

The house manager said among the over 60 films that the theater offered in 2015, he was excited to see movies such as “Rain Man,” the original “Batman,” “Spaceballs” and “Blazing Saddles.” He said the more popular movies with au-diences were “Casablanca,” “Gone with the Wind,” “King Kong” and the most attended of all of them, “A Christmas Story.” Washington said “Jaws” and the “Back to the Future” trilogy also did well.

Like last season, the motion pictures will alternate with the performing arts center’s live stage presentations. After the double feature of thrillers on Oct. 30, the theater has a dozen movies sched-uled until the end of June with the pos-sibility of more being added for the last few months of 2016.

“People love that we’re doing it again,” said Washington.

The new lineup of movies will kick off with “The Wizard of Oz” on Friday, Nov. 27, at 7 p.m., and once again, back by popular demand, there will be a holiday showing of “A Christmas Story” on Fri-day, Dec. 4.

Last year management chose many of the movies based on local residents’ memories of their visits to the the-ater throughout the decades. This time around, films were selected based on whether they are hitting a milestone an-niversary in 2016. Due to this selection process, theatergoers can once again en-joy classics such as “Rocky,” “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “Carrie,” “Dirty Harry” and “Thelma & Louise” on the big screen in the upcoming year.

The Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts is located at 2 E. Main Street in Smith-town. For more information, call 631-724-3700 or visit www.smithtownpac.org.

The gardening season is winding down. You’ve probably enjoyed your tomatoes and have started thinking about your herbs and how to preserve them for winter use (you can, of course, bring container grown herbs into the house in a sunny location).

So, it’s hard to think of spring flowers when we’re facing autumn’s mums and winter’s chill. However, it you want a gor-geous, early spring garden, there are cer-tain things you must do now.

◆ Plant your spring flowering bulbs (tu-lips, daffodils, etc.). They can actually be planted as long as the ground is not frozen.

◆ Plant your spring flowering trees. These include dogwood, magnolia, flowering cherry, flowering crab apple and redbud.

◆ Plant shrubs that bloom in early spring. If you already have some in the ground, do not, I repeat, do not, prune them in late autumn. You will be removing next spring’s flower buds. Rule of thumb, prune flowering shrubs immediately after they have bloomed so as not to interfere with their bloom cycle.

Probably the earliest shrub to bloom in spring is witch hazel, with its delicate yel-low flowers. In a mild winter it may even bloom in February, but March is more likely. Since it is blooming so early, the flowers come out long before the leaves. And, yes, this is the plant from which the astringent witch hazel is made.

Forsythia also blooms before the leaves appear with a mass of yellow flowers. You can even force the flowers in late winter if you see flower buds starting to form. Cut some branches, bring them indoors and put them in a vase with room temperature water. Soon, the vase will be filled with the cheery flowers. Forsythia plants make a great, easy to grow hedge. A fast grower, they can be cut back to make them the height you want.

Flowering quince produces gorgeous red, pink or orange flowers, again, be-fore the leaves appear. The plant can eas-ily reach up to six feet tall, but there are shorter cultivars. A native of China, it is

usually grown here for its flowers, not its fruit. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Some varieties have thorns while oth-ers are thornless. Check the tag or research the cultivar if you either want (as a barrier) or don’t want (around kids) thorns.

The P.J.M. Rhododendron blooms in early spring, usually April, ahead of most rhodies, which tend to come out in May. The pinkish-purple blossoms are born on a relatively slow growing plant that reaches three to six feet in height. An evergreen, it does well in partial shade in hardiness zones 4 to 8. A row of them makes a lovely, relatively low hedge.

Pieris (andromeda) comes out quietly in spring. Most plants available have ei-ther white or pink flowers, but ‘Valentine’ has absolutely beautiful burgundy flowers. ‘Valentine’ blooms ahead of the other va-rieties, frequently before I’ve tidied up the garden in spring.

Fothergilla blooms with lovely white flowers. The slow-growing, deciduous shrub blooms in April to May after the leaves ap-pear. The plant does well in zones 5 to 8.

� e striking tandem of senior mid� elder Martin Giordano and sophomore forward Vince Erdei teamed up again for the Stony Brook men’s soccer team (5-6-3, 2-2-1 AE), connecting for the game-winning goal with 4:06 to play in regulation to li� the Sea-wolves over the University of Hartford (4-6-5, 0-3-2 AE) 1-0 on Saturday night.

“I am very happy with the perfor-mance,” Stony Brook head coach Ryan Anatol said. “It is good to get three points and a shutout. It was one of our better performances of the year.”

� e Seawolves controlled the pace of play in the early-going, recording six of the match’s � rst eight shots. Giordano

had the best Stony Brook chance in the half, cutting in and ripping a shot at Hart-ford goalkeeper David MacKinnon.

Stony Brook senior goalkeeper Jason Or-ban made the biggest of his seven saves early in the second half, springing to his right to get a paw on a point-blank Hawks header.

� e Seawolves survived a mad scram-ble in front of their own goal midway through the second stanza, dodging a bullet when Brian Richards � red wide of an open goal.

Giordano sealed the win in the 86th minute, capitalizing on a great feed from Erdei. Freshman mid� elder Serge Gam-wanya ignited the attack with a through ball to Erdei. � e forward raced on to the ball, beat his defender, then cut the ball to an open Giordano, who � nished into the empty net.

Hartford outshot Stony Brook 22-13 for the match and 15-6 in the second half, but Giordano led all players with six shots and three shots on goal.

Giordano’s goal was the 15th of his ca-reer and his 40th career point.

Orban made seven saves to record his third shutout of the season and fourth of his career.

It was the � rst Stony Brook clean sheet in 12 matches, and the Seawolves are 5-0-3 when allowing less than two goals.

Seawolves season comes to a close with 1-0 loss � e Stony Brook women’s soccer

team’s (6-9-3, 3-4-1 AE) season came to an end on Sunday, in a 1-0 loss to the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Seniors Tessa Devereaux, Raven Edwards, Danielle Fuller, Emily Murrer and Priscilla Wiggins were honored be-fore the game for playing in their � nal game at LaValle Stadium.

“It’s heartbreaking for the seniors,” Stony Brook head coach Sue Ryan said. “Soccer is a strange game. Give UMBC credit for coming out and doing what they had to do. We have to be a little bet-ter in these pressure situations.”

Stony Brook was the more dangerous team in the � rst half, outshooting the Retrievers 9-4. � e best chance of the half came from sophomore forward and mid� elder Christen Cahill, who curled a shot to the far post that was tipped o� the crossbar by UMBC keeper Jen Nance.

� e Retrievers struck � ve minutes into the second half to take a 1-0 lead. Amira Walcott was the goalscorer, � n-ishing a cross from Gabby Boehmer.

Stony Brook had a great chance to tie in the 60th minute, when the referee awarded a hand ball in the box. Edwards, a forward who was 4-4 on the season in penalty kicks, shot to the goalkeeper’s right, but it was saved by a diving Nance.

Freshman defender Julie Johnston-baugh almost tied the match moments lat-er, but her header, destined for the far cor-ner, was kept out by another diving save.

Stony Brook outshot UMBC 21-9 for the match and 12-5 in the second half.

Edwards led the Seawolves with � ve shots and three shots on goal. Murrer and Cahill added four shots.

� e Seawolves � nished seventh in the America East conference, missing out on the playo� s by a single point.

� e Seawolves moved into a tie for fourth place in the conference standings and are only three points behind � rst-place Binghamton University.

Stony Brook takes a break from Amer-

ica East play and traveled to No. 24 Hof-stra University on Tuesday for a 7 p.m. matchup. Its next conference game is at home against Binghamton on Oct. 30, also slated for 7 p.m.

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF

It’s an issue that attracts de-bate because there are large enough overlapping or gray ar-eas that make it challenging to o� er a de� nitive answer across a range of circumstances.

“I had a professor in gradu-ate school who put it this way: If you have the genetic variant for Huntington’s disease, you will get Huntington’s disease,” said W. Richard McCombie, a professor and director of the Stanley Institute for Cognitive Genomics at Cold Spring Har-bor Laboratory. “If you walk in front of a truck that’s going 70 miles per hour on an interstate, your genes are irrelevant. Ev-erything else is in between.”

Indeed, McCombie and his lab have become something of expert genetic speed readers, looking at enormous multiples of genes that were almost un-thinkable just a decade or so ago.

“Next-generation sequencing has dramatically changed the � eld of genomics, allowing re-searchers to access an unprece-dented amount of data,” he said. “� e challenge lies in the analy-sis of these large data sets.”

� e sequences he describes are the combination of the four base pairs, adenine, guanine, cytosine and tyrosine, strung together in a double-helix ladder design.

� e implications of these new genetic sequences and libraries range from generating personal-ized medicine and understand-

ing the prognosis for di� erent diseases and likelihoods of e� ec-tive therapy to seeking ways to enhance the production of food and energy crops.

� e basic question he’s ask-ing is “what’s the correlation be-tween the structure and function of a living organism, in terms of the genome?”

From a practical standpoint, working in di� erent systems helps when McCombie is apply-ing for funding, he suggested.

� e technology and expertise he develops also have applica-tions across systems. When he gets funding to explore the se-quence of large plant genomes, he can then use what he learns from that to work on studying cancer.

McCombie’s contributions have spanned several areas, in-cluding developing next-gener-ation sequencing, contributing to plant genome sequencing and studying the genetic basis of cog-nitive disorders, said Greg Han-non, the Royal Society Wolfson Research Professor at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Insti-tute at the University of Cam-bridge, who has co-authored 17 papers with McCombie.

“He has made tremendous impacts across multiple � elds,” Hannon said,

McCombie is “a real hero of the lab,” and Hannon said he “can’t think of anyone else who has had the diversity of impact he has.”

Sequencing in general has involved instruments that look

at small bits of data at a time, around 100 base fragments. Us-ing something called long-read technology, researchers can now examine pieces that are around 10,000 base pairs.

� is technology is “really coming along” and has implica-tions for cancer, where tumors are o� en due to rearrangements, insertions or deletions, while it also might impact plant genom-ics, where the long-read technol-ogy can be 100 to 1,000 times as e� ective as the short-read tech-nology, McCombie said.

Sequencing pieces of genes is like taking a picture of, say, the Grand Canyon and turning that into a jigsaw puzzle. In the short-read technology, the pieces are smaller and, in some cases, show some of the same features. In the long-read technology, the pieces are much larger, turning the pic-ture into something closer to a small child’s puzzle.

� e long reads have a lower raw accuracy, he said, but with enough coverage, scientists can achieve a high consensus ac-

curacy because the errors are mostly random.

� e long-read technology is like having a puzzle with four pieces, instead of 1,000, he said.

� e process of comparing genes or looking for a smoking gun causative set of genes in-volved in disease can be and is di� cult, especially when com-paring the genes of an individual with a representative healthy set of genes.

“Searching for causative genes can be very challenging particu-larly in complex diseases where more than one gene (and o� en many genes) contributes to the disease,” McCombie explained. “Trying to pinpoint causative variants is complicated by the normal background variation.”

Indeed, it’s more productive and instructive to look at larger sample sizes of people or to ex-amine trios — the genes of par-ents una� ected by a genetic dis-ease and their a� ected child.

Using these trios, McCombie and other scientists have found some overlap in potentially caus-

ative genes across disorders from schizophrenia and bipolar dis-order to autism and intellectual impairment. McCombie is cur-rently exploring multiple sets of genes in cases of depression.

McCombie and his wife Jan-ice, a computer technician who works in Manhattan, live in Port Washington, which, he says, is convenient to the many operas they enjoy.

Given the � ood of informa-tion available through all the ge-netic data that comes out daily, McCombie said scientists enter-ing this � eld have to have some skill and understanding of bio-informatics, which makes sense of vast amounts of data.

“I give a short talk to the � rst-year grad students on their research every year,” he said. “One of them asked me if I thought bioinformatics was important in biology research. To be realistic, people in [the next generation] have no future if [they’re] not adept at working on computers and don’t under-stand bioinformatics.”

Just in time for Halloween, the Hun-tington Arts Council’s annual Night-mare on Main Street — Student Art Exhibit is currently on view at the Main Street Gallery in Huntington through Saturday, Oct. 31.

Now in its 4th year, “the inspiration for Nightmare on Main Street came from the dramatic holiday Windows at Macy’s in New York City. We wanted to take advan-tage of the beautiful windows that frame the gallery at the Hun-tington Arts Council and turn the actual windows into a work of dramatic art,” said Andrea Maire, imme-diate past president of the Huntington Arts Council.

“Once inside the gallery, visitors would find that even the gallery floors and walls had been treated with similar flair. We chose Halloween because the many possible interpretations of the sea-son would give our young participating artists the most choices in creating their works,” she said.

Thirty-four student artists in grades K through 12 were selected as finalists including Sarah Ansman, Eleana Ca-nas, Kianna Criscuola, Andrew Davis, Katie Elkowitz, Katie Eng, Jessica Gar-

cia, Allie Giordano, Claire Hannon, Jackie Hawkins, Ashley Herkommer, Julie Jankowski, Aisha Khan, Tateana Khokhar, Sarah Kimmel, Tyler Kiser, Lauren Landolfi, Cameron Matassa, Jean Miller, Ruth Mistretta, Eli Mollineaux, Theresa Moreno, Erin O’Kelly, Martin Perez, Kenya Pinos, Maheen Rahman, Claudia Reese, Nicole Ruiz, Jack Ruth-

kowski, Jordan Shaked, Dipti Sharma, Michelle Shin, Aidan Spencer and Jeanette Wells.

The exhibit was ju-ried by Michelle Car-ollo, an installation artist, administrator, teacher and commu-nity organizer whose work has been shown

across the United States. The recipient of many awards, she was recently a select finalist for the NYC Public Art in Public Schools.

On exhibit is artwork that has been inspired by Halloween whether it be ghoulish, gross or somewhat gruesome. “The works in this show capture the true spirit of Halloween, whether it be play-ful, psychological or physical, the specta-tor soon realizes the power of the imagi-nation is the scariest of all,” said Carollo in describing the students work.

Two winners were ultimately chosen

for Best in Show in the Junior Division (Grades K to 8) and Senior Division (Grades 9 to 12) category. Congratula-tions to 9-year-old Jack Ruthkowski of Huntington for Best in Show in the Ju-nior Division for “VooDoo Doll” and Jeanette Wells, an 11th-grader from Northport for Best in Show in the Senior Division for “Metamorphosis.” Both artists will receive a check for $50.

“The Nightmare on Main Street ex-hibit continues to draw talented student artists. It is wonderful to see how young people interpret the Halloween theme. The creativity, skill, technique and en-thusiasm for the show are all part of what makes this program so rewarding for us,” said Marc Courtade, executive director of the Huntington Arts Coun-cil. “It is our pleasure to provide this op-portunity to student artists throughout the community,” he added.

A costume party will be held at the gallery on Oct. 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. where the two winners will be presented with awards. All are welcome to attend this free event and costumes are encouraged. Refreshments will be served.

The Main Street Gallery, 213 Main St., Huntington, is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, call 631-271-8423 or visit www.huntingtonarts.org.
