Superstorm Jonas has left piles of snow as far as the eye can see. In the aftermath of last weekend’s storm, Councilwoman Susan Berland (D) has asked all residents to keep fire hydrants in the front of their mind. “Any snow or ice that prevents first responders from being able to access the hydrants can create a danger to each and every homeowner,” Berland said in an email statement. Her Adopt-A-Hydrant program urges residents to assist fire fighters by adopting hydrants close to their homes and keep

the area surrounding their hydrant clear of obstructions. According to a statement, this program began at the request of emergency responders in Huntington. “As Long Island prepares for yet another chilly and snowy winter, I strongly encourage residents to adopt a hydrant and keep the areas around it clear so that emergency responders can access it easily,” Berland said. “For those of you who have cleared your hydrants, I thank you on behalf of the Town of Huntington.” To adopt a hydrant, visit the town website at www.huntingtonny.gov.

Northport school greeters get health insurance Some question why district’s proposed plan covers less By Alex Petroski

After a lengthy battle, NorthportEast Northport school district’s security greeters have been offered health care benefits. But the fight may not be over. Although the district has presented health insurance plans to the nine fulltime greeters, some say the plans are expensive and don’t treat them the same as other district employees. The duties of a greeter, also known as a security monitor, include monitoring

who is coming and going from a school building, assisting in late arrivals and early releases and helping parents get forgotten items to the students, among other day-to-day tasks that may arise. The position was established about 10 years ago, according to the district supervisor of security, and the district employs one full-time greeter for each of their six elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school. Under the plans, the district would pay 60 percent of the greeters’ health coverage, according to Diane Smith, the greeter who has led the charge for benefits. Contracts on the district’s website indicate that it pays 75 percent of superintendent Robert Banzer’s coverage, 82 percent for administrators, 79 percent for teachers and 86 percent for security guards. Smith said she is grateful the district granted greeters health care coverage —“I’m happy to get that, it’s fabulous to have any kind of a break,” Smith said in an email — but she wants treatment equal to fellow employees, specifically security guards. When asked about the difference between greeters and security guards, the district said in a statement, “Security

guards and security monitors are civil service appointments. Both positions require security certifications and the ongoing completion of security training.” As is, the employee contribution for the greeters’ proposed insurance on a family plan “will cost us exactly every other entire paycheck,” she said. “How did they come up with that [number]?” Smith’s salary is $20,000.

According to Smith, the greeters were offered more affordable plans, one of which would have covered 75 percent of health care costs, but they wouldn’t have provided coverage for families. She said in addition to working as a greeter full time, she has been working a second job part time to pay for private health insurance for herself and her two kids. GREETERS continued on page A8

Northport High School Academy of Finance students put their interview skills to the test this month at a mock interview event where they received feedback from local executives. About 35 administrators from Long Island companies, including Ameriprise Financial Services Inc., KPMG accounting firm, Douglas Elliman and MetLife Premier Client Group, gave students advice on communication in interviews, how to act professionally and how to dress, according to a press release. “Our students took all the necessary preparations for this interviewing event,” Allison Schwabish, coordinator of the school’s Academy of Finance, said in a statement. “We impressed on them that in order to get the internships that they will be applying for as a part of our program they will need to polish their interviewing skills.” Schwabish said the 80 students who participated in the event on Jan. 14 went through a series of “speed interviews” where they worked on not only interview skills but networking skills as well. “This mock interview event was the perfect taste of precisely what we will face

when conducting interviews in the business world, which is something that will definitely aid us in our future endeavors,” senior Emilie Reynolds said in an email. Jake Sackstein, a fellow senior, echoed Reynolds’ sentiments. “A year ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed about comfortably partaking in an interview, but now personal business interactions like this come as second nature,” he said. “It showed me how valuable the program is to me and I will continue to draw strength from it in the future.” Northport High Schools’ Academy of Finance is a part of NAF, formerly known as the National Academy Foundation, a network of career-themed academies for high school students that includes multiple industries such as hospitality and tourism, engineering and the health science industry. Student John Charles Unser said he appreciated the opportunity to work with so many prominent businesses. “I was able to interview with Fortune 500 companies such as KPMG and Ameriprise Financial Services,” he said in an email. Unser said he was asked many difficult questions but was “able to provide appropriate examples and answer with professionalism.”

Community praises 2nd Precinct Photo by Dana E. Richter

Huntington Matters says relations have greatly improved with SCPD By ViCtoria ESPinoza

To one group in Huntington Station, it seems that relations between the 2nd Precinct and residents have greatly improved in 2015. Huntington Matters Neighborhood Watch, an organization that aims to unite citizens and law enforcement to deter crime, awarded several members of the 2nd Precinct this week for their work bettering the relationship between them and community members in Huntington. Huntington Matters was first formed in response to multiple homicides that took place in Huntington Station over the past two years, including one incident involving Maggie Rosales, an 18-year-old girl who was stabbed to death on Lynch Street. “A murder here and there became the norm,” said Rob Rockelein, a member of Huntington Matters. “We’re trying to bridge the gap between the average homeowner and town government, and keep a finger on the pulse of what people are worried about.” Rockelein said the precinct has stepped up as of late and opened up the dialogue within the community since the horrific homicides that started his group. “They have made a lot of progress,” Rockelein said. “We feel these officers went above and beyond their duties. There is a very transparent relationship now, which is the way it should be. There is no such thing as a bad question from the public.” Rockelein also said he appreciates the way multiple departments respond to incidents in Huntington Station and come to the 2nd Precinct meetings as much as possible. Matt Harris, another member of Huntington Matters, said he agreed with Rockelein. Harris said he was particularly proud of the Suffolk County Police Department 2nd Precinct Explorer Post 201, which was awarded in recognition of their first assisted arrest. “They’ve been really making an effort to accommodate our requests,” Harris said in a phone interview. Harris said the explorer group prevented someone from driving while intoxicated during a spring clean up in town last April. Huntington Matters honored members Harris Wilner, Michael Sullivan and Angel Villitoro. Inspector Chris Hatton was one of the recipients, receiving an award for community accessibility, and POLICE AWARDS continued on page A8

Bagel burglar books it by elana Glowatz

A man arrested Monday allegedly burglarized a bagel store and then biked away from the scene of the crime. The Suffolk County Police Department said the man burgled Mayfair Bagels on Jericho Turnpike in Commack at about 4:45 a.m. on Monday before fleeing from the scene on a bicycle. Officers from the 4th Precinct responded to an alarm at the bagel business and found their suspect in the area shortly afterward. Police arrested a Lake Ronkonkoma resident, Mathew McCauley, in connection with the incident. The 51-year-old was charged with third-degree burglary, as well as a parole violation. Attorney information for McCauley was not immediately available before press time. According to the police department, detectives are investigating whether the suspect could have been involved in other recent burglaries in Commack.

Huntington talks upcoming education changes By aLEx pEtroski

New federal and state education rules are trickling down to the local level, and Huntington school district is figuring out how to adapt. In a presentation to the school board Monday night, Superintendent Jim Polansky led a discussion about the state’s changes to the Common Core curriculum and the new federal Every Student Succeeds Act and what they mean for the district going forward. President Barack Obama (D) signed the act in December 2015, to succeed Republican President George W. Bush’s controversial No Child Left Behind Act of 2002. The new act emphasizes college- and career-readiness and shifts more responsibility on testing from the federal level to the states. “Board members asked me what implications this holds for New York,” Polansky said. “I’m not sure. New York is right now in a position where things have to be addressed in a manner that this act dictates, and we’ll be watching very carefully as to exactly what happens here.” Although No Child Left Behind and

more recently Common Core have been controversial with educators and parents, board trustee Emily Rogan said she doesn’t want the original spirit of the 2002 act to be forgotten. “One of the things that was really positive about No Child Left Behind was that it drew the spotlight onto where there were true achievement gaps, in terms of parity in education,” Rogan said during the presentation. “I think it’s important that we recognize that. I think there were kids that were being completely ignored. I’m not saying here at Huntington — I’m saying across the nation. There were kids that were just falling through the cracks, literally.” On the lower level, as some of the kinks in the curriculum get worked out, Common Core will be an option for states to use as a “challenging academic standard,” but not a requirement, Polansky said. A task force assembled by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D) back in December recently released a report that called for, among other things, a moratorium on using standardized test scores as a means to evaluate students, teachers and administrators.

Huntington superintendent Jim polansky speaks on how new rule changes will affect the district at the meeting on tuesday.

Polansky expressed concerns, however, about the state simply casting Common Core aside.

“I will tell you that whether you agree or disagree with the Common Core standards in their basic form, the district has spent quite a bit of time, effort, money and professional development in making this transition,” Polansky said. “I think there will be a lot of argument in terms of just throwing them in the garbage, because of all of the work that has been done.” School board vice president Jennifer Hebert voiced a similar sentiment. “It’s such a stark contrast to what’s been going on over the last seven years,” Hebert said. “After all of the money that’s been spent on Common Core [and] they’re going to just up and abandon it?” A major criticism of Common Core was an apparent lack of involvement from educators in establishing testing standards, Polansky said. That does not appear to be a problem with Obama’s federal act. No Child Left Behind policies will remain in place at least until July 1. According to the U.S. Department of Education’s website, the department will work with states and school districts to begin implementing the new law over the next few weeks.

Tips for kids to enjoy a safe and snowy day By Victoria Espinoza

Winter Storm Jonas hit every part of the North Shore last weekend, but for many kids, it was more of a treat than a trial. With young children running toward the snow at their chance to build a snowman, there are some safety tips all parents should keep in mind, including the right clothing, possible injuries and sledding safety. When playing in the snow, the right gear for your children is water resistant. “Being wet is bad!” pediatrician Deborah Messina from Huntington Hospital said in an email. “Always have them wear waterproof boots, mittens (better than gloves) and a hat. Our moms were right, we lose a lot of heat through our heads.” Messina said if children aren’t dressed properly for snowy weather, frostbite and hypothermia are possible scenarios. Hypothermia happens when your body temperature is less than 95 degrees, and it can have serious affects on the body. “Hypothermia occurs quicker in children,” Messina said. “The signs of hypothermia could be any or all of these: severe shivering, slurred speech, shallow breathing, confusion, exhaustion, drowsiness and irregular heartbeat.” Messina said if a child is suffering from hypothermia, a parent should immediately call 911, remove any wet clothes and wrap their child in blankets. Frostbite, when body tissues become frozen, is another condition a child can get from being in the snow for too long. “Extremities — fingers, toes, ears or

nose — are at greatest risk of frostbite,” Messina said. “They will appear gray, pale and can even blister. They will feel numb or have a burning sensation.” According to Messina, frostbite treatment includes putting the affected body

part in warm water and drying without rubbing the extremity. Messina’s sledding guidelines include staying away from motor vehicles, keeping smaller children in a separate sled, wearing a helmet and sledding feet first.

Students explore MetLife Stadium During a field trip to the iconic MetLife Stadium, members of the Distributive Education Club of America at Harborfields High School attended the New York Jets Sports Business Day. During the event, students participated in a walking tour and visited different stations around the arena to take part in question and answer sessions. While

on the tour, students viewed the locker room, company suites, the stadium and even saw the new uniforms the team was to wear for the upcoming game. At the culmination of the tour, students spent time outside exploring the field. The students that attended the trip were invited back to the stadium to attend a New York Jets game in the future.

“Each year the district examines its policies in an effort to further benefit our valued employees,” Banzer said in a statement through the district’s public relations firm, Syntax. “Through prudent budgeting and research with our providers, we are pleased to offer multiple health care coverage options to our greeters. Although the district has not provided this coverage in the past, as it is not required, we felt it was

TBR

an important step to make this available to them.” Despite her criticism, Smith expressed gratitude. “It’s still really good,” she said in a phone interview Monday. “I would not turn it down. It would help my income for sure.” Smith had a meeting with a district insurance specialist on Wednesday to get some more questions answered and ultimately decide on a plan. According to her, the greeters must sign up by Feb. 1 to begin getting coverage.

police awards Continued from page A5 Rockelein said he has been “ultra responsive and very accessible” since he took over from Inspector Edward Brady in July. Brady was also awarded for community response. “It’s nice to be recognized,” Hatton said in a phone interview. “We’re really happy to have this partnership and

media

we feel like we’ve been very responsive to their needs.” Rockelein said everything is moving in the right direction in regard to the communication and that everyone involved is rising to the occasion and working together. “Crime is definitely down in Huntington and the 2nd Precinct area in general,” Hatton said. “We now have the opportunity to focus on quality of life issues going forward.”

students in the audience raised their hands and wiggled their fingers to silently applaud contestants after each word he or she spelled correctly. Down to the final two competitors, Stratton claimed the first-place title after correctly spelling the word “mawkish,” while fifth-grade student Kamden Johansen was the runner-up. Stratton will move on to represent his school in the Scripps National Spelling Program Regional Contest at Hofstra University on March 13.

Math-tastic contest winners After participating in the American Mathematics Competitions 8, seven Oldfield Middle School students were awarded a gold, silver or bronze certificate for their outstanding academic performance in the contest. Back in November, students enrolled in the Common Core Algebra course were invited to stay an hour after school to participate in the AMC 8 contest. The AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple-choice examination in middle school mathematics designed to promote the development and enhancement of problem-solving skills. Partici-

pation in the AMC 8 contest can lead to other more selective math contests, such as the International Mathematical Olympiad, which is the premier international high school level mathematical problem-solving contest. Congratulations to the following students for their exceptional scores on the exam: Aidan Cordero, first-place winner; Christian Harker, second-place winner; and third-place winners James Anderson, Caitlin Collins, Luciano Foranoce, Victoria Lanner and Michael Panariello.

Northport high schoolers honored for artistic excellence Congratulations to Northport High School students Jeanette Wells, 11thgrade, and Kayla Dotero, 12th-grade, and their teacher Margaret Minardi, as Wells took first place and Dotero finished in third at the Suffolk County High School Art Competition. The competition took place on Dec. 21 at the Michael J. Grant campus of Suffolk County Community College. Dotero’s piece is titled “Stretch” while Wells’ piece is titled “Anguish.” Photo from Northport-East Northport Schools

Blue Devils pull away with ninth straight win Girls’ BasketBall

Huntington . . . . .62 Smithtown . . . . .56 Trailing by double digits after watching one of their best players helped off the court, the Huntington girls’ basketball players had to look deep within themselves. Instead of folding, the Blue Devils staged a remarkable rally to overcome host Smithtown West, 62-56, Tuesday. Sophomore Alexandra Heuwetter scored 22 points and had six rebounds and five blocks, and senior Katie Reilly had 15 points and six assists to lead Huntington’s comeback. Anna Gulizio came off the bench and picked up 11 points and four rebounds. Brooke Baade had 10 points, including a pair of three-pointers, and Abby Maichin had four points and three rebounds. Befuddled by Smithtown West’s press, Huntington (11-2

overall; 9-1 in league play) had trouble bringing the ball up the court early in the game, repeatedly committing turnovers. Coupled with the loss of senior Taylor Moreno, who hit the court hard just two minutes into the game and was unable to return to play, the Blue Devils

struggled during the opening six minutes before closing hard to cut their deficit to 19-15 by the end of the first quarter. “We settled the game down a bit after a lot of frantic play,” Reilly said. “It was definitely a scary sight to see one of our best players go down. I think it motivated us to win even more.” Huntington went on an 18-9 second-quarter run to grab a 33-28 halftime lead, but Smithtown West (7-6 overall; 6-4 in the conference) wasn’t quite finished. The Bulls staged a rally of their own to retake the lead, and the teams battled toe-to-toe throughout the third quarter, with the advantage seesawing back and forth. The Blue Devils led 46-43 entering the final frame before sharp shooting and stifling defense allowed Huntington to go ahead 58-47 as the clock ticked down. But, once again, Smithtown West rallied to close to within three points with little time remaining. Huntington hit several cru-

cial free throws in the final minute to put the game on ice. Unlike most game days that see the junior varsity team play first, Huntington and Smithtown West took the court at 4:15 p.m. after many players on both teams had sat through midterm exams earlier in the day.

“We just had a slow start since we played first and were away, but after we got into our groove and started communicating and playing our game,” Baade said. “We were able to come back.” Huntington will host Centereach on Friday at 6:15 p.m.

Salvation Army in Northport hosts 3-on-3 youth league

File photo by Kevin Freiheit

The Salvation Army youth league begins Feb. 3 and will take place every Wednesday.

Northport has announced year-round basketball divisions for boys and girls for third-grade to eighth-grade. Final divisions will depend on enrollment, but each season will be 10 weeks, beginning Feb. 3. Enrollment is $140 per player, and games will be every Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Salvation Army Gym at 319 Clay Pitts Road in East Northport. Teams of three to four players will play three 10-minute games every week, and every player gets a reversible jersey with enrollment. There are no coaches, but official and certified referees will be at every game. The 3-on-3 games will heighten the awareness of applying skills in game-like settings where players will have an increased repetition set on both the offensive and defensive side of play. Through each game, players will be able to address skills that are often overlooked in a 5-on-5 setting. Since there are no coaches, young players are forced to rely on their own instinct and abilities which facilitates quick growth and development. It is difficult to hide in 3-on-3, so everyone participates. There is

an emphasis on fundamental skill sets and an increased competitive advantage. Some topics addressed in 3-on-3 basketball include movement with and without the ball, screening action, individual and team defense, offensive spacing patterns, and the ability to read and react to players. The program is geared toward providing all players an opportunity to enhance player development in a supervised, small, controlled setting while actively engaged in a safe and healthy environment and is directed by Long Island standout Ralph Rossetti. Rossetti has been the recreational director and trainer for the Salvation Army since 2013, and has been training basketball players at the Army since 2008. At the Salvation Army, Rossetti has worked with dozens of boys and girls from the youth level through high school as well as a number of NCAA and professional players. Registration can be done as a team or individually. Space is limited, but athletes can register online at www.northportyouthbasketballclub.com/p/3-on-3-basketballregistration.html.

Our Residential Styles guide includes illustrations, photographs, and detailed descriptions about popular styles. Plus, use our Home Features guide to learn about architectural elements such as dormers, roofs, and arches that make a property distinct.

Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Neoclassical Neoclassical homes exist in incarnations from onestory cottages to multilevel manses. Bungalow A forerunner of the craftsman style, you'll find rustic exteriors and sheltered-feeling interiors. Prairie Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, this style can be house boxy or lowslung. Cape Cod A true classic, Cape Cod homes have gabled roofs and unornamented fronts. Pueblo Flat roofs, straightedge window frames, and earth-colored walls typify Pueblos. Colonial An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, it features a rectangular design and secondfloor bedrooms.

Queen Anne Emerging in the Victorian era, the style features inventive floor plans and decorative chimneys. Contemporary Unmistakably modern, this style has odd-sized windows and little ornamentation. Ranch Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, and picture windows. Craftsman Full- or partial-width porches are framed by tapered columns and overhanging eaves. Regency The style borrows the Georgian's classic lines, yet eschews ornamentation. Creole A front wall recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony. Saltbox Its sharply sloping gable roof resembles old-time boxes used for storing salt. Dutch Colonial German settlers originated this style, which features a broad, barn-like roof. Second Empire This Victorian style features mansard roofs with dormer windows. Federal This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek and

Roman culture. Shed A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with sloping roofs. French Provincial Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which has a steep hip roof. Shingle An American style that echoes Queen Anne, it has unadorned doors and large porches. Georgian With paired chimneys and a decorative crown, this style was named after English royalty. Shotgun Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door. Gothic Revival English romanticism influenced this style, marked by Gothic windows and vaulted roofs. Spanish Eclectic This style has details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Greek Revival Entryway columns and a front door surrounded by rectangular windows are characteristic. Split Level A Modern style, Split levels sequester living activities, such as sleeping and socializing.

International The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts. Stick Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards are typical of this Victorian style. Italianate This style has symmetrical bay windows in front, small chimneys, and tall windows. Tudor Tudors have half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and steep cross gables. Monterey The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an Adobe brick exterior. Victorian Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture incorporated decorative details such as patterned shingles. National Rooted in Native American dwellings, the National style is rectangular with sidegabled roofs. 7KH DERYH LQIRUPDWLRQ LV SURYLGHG E\ 7KH 1DWLRQDO $VVRFLDWLRQ RI 5HDOWRUV Â&#x160;

New York’s Joint Commission on Public Ethics wants to restrict communication between public relation firms and media outlets, which could affect a newspaper’s content.

Write us!

In an attempt to promote transparency, the New York State Joint Commission on Public Ethics recently proposed requiring public relations consultants to register as lobbyists if they are trying to influence editorial writers. That would mean any public relations professionals who contacts a reporter or editorial board in an attempt to get the media to advance their client’s message would be considered to be delivering a lobbying message. Several New York public relations firms and New York Press Association members immediately spoke out against this proposal, and we side with them and share their concerns. To force anyone to report to the government before they speak to a reporter seems dangerous, and almost medieval. It treads on freedom of speech if the government is effectively regulating newspaper content, and interfering with a newsroom staff’s ability to independently and objectively judge its sources on its own. On top of that, it is an example of government butting its nose into what are largely

privately owned companies — a place it has no business giving orders. On the surface, it seems as though JCOPE is paying the press a compliment, saying the news media are so valuable that it wants to help preserve the public watchdog’s objectivity. But, in an ironic twist, within the same stroke it would be compromising the independence of the Fourth Estate by controlling its sources. Freedom of the press is one of the rights America was built upon and relies upon to this day, and this move would tramp on the media’s liberty to print the issues and concerns of the public without needing permission from the government. One of the main jobs of a reporter is to evaluate whether a source is credible and whether a story is newsworthy. Let’s keep this task out of the hands of the government and in the hands of the people who make these decisions every day. As a newspaper that takes pride in serving the community before anyone else, we stand against this proposal to restrict our communication and we hope you will too.

This blows TO ThE EDITOR: What’s the big deal about gas leaf blowers? We used to ask that about smoking. There weren’t warnings on cigarette packs and effects of secondhand smoke weren’t known. Well, the gas leaf blower (GLB) is analogous to smoking and inhaling second-hand smoke. The GLB’s 2-stroke engine is extremely polluting, spewing up to 30 percent of its gasoline into the air. Those gas fumes contain benzene and 1-3-butadiene, which are on the World health Organization’s list of top carcinogens. GLBs also produce ground level ozone, a big contributor to asthma and other respiratory diseases. The undeveloped nations of India and Indonesia are banning 2-stroke engines because of the health/pollution factor. Yet we invite GLBs on a daily basis, into our “developed” suburban neighborhoods where our children play, just to push some grass clippings and dust around in summer months. A GLB operating for one hour puts out more emissions than a car traveling 4,000

miles or 40 cars idling for one hour. Lawn mowers today are all 4-stroke engines, which are far less polluting, so for those of you that might ask what next, take away our mowers, not to worry. As for enforcement, people asked

how will we enforce no smoking in restaurants, bars and public places? Today it’s not a consideration. Landscapers will abide by the rules, and we should not let the occasional exception preclude good policy.

Sixteen towns in Westchester as well as Great Neck Estates have restricted GLBs for years without any hardship on business. Properties look tidy, prices have not increased but quality of life has. The constant whine of GLBs is absent. It’s actually the landscape workers who benefit the most by not using GLBs. harmful exposure to toxins and deafening noise for hours and days on end are eliminated. Shouldn’t we feel a responsibility to those that we hire and to our neighbors to make sure safe and responsible practices are employed? I don’t believe people need time to get used to the idea of cleaner air, quieter neighborhoods and safer working conditions. It’s a no-brainer. Government’s duty is to protect residents and uphold the tenant of law that we are entitled to the peaceful use and enjoyment of our homes. If landscapers feel they must blow, today’s generation of quiet, zero-emission lithium battery blowers do the job as well, minus the toxins and noise. Bonnie Sager huntington

Alda “was the inspiration and Kandel explained that Alda and a talented Norwegian journalist remains the inspirational figure

in this effort,” Schneider said. The seed money led to the founding in 2009 of the Center for Communicating Science, offering students an opportunity to learn how to connect with a range of audiences through various types of training, including improvisational acting, which is the only training Alda received. Improv requires people to listen to what other people are saying and build off of that, forging connections through shared common ground, Schneider said. “One rule of improv is that you say, ‘Yes and,’” said Elizabeth Bass, a founding director at the center. “You have to take what [the other person] gives you and add to it.” Valeri Lantz-Gefroh, the improvisation director at the center, came from the world of theater to the center. She said Alda helped her learn more about a “skill I’ve been working on for 30 years by teaching it in a different way. That gift has come from Alda.” Indeed, scientists who have taken these courses suggested that they have been invaluable in helping them deliver their message and connect with their audience. Colin West, a research assistant at the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook, took six courses at the center. Before he attended the classes, he said he was introverted. “It’s not enough to eschew the jargon from my own vocabulary,” West said. “I should be trying to understand the jargon and phraseology that’s typical in their patterns of thought and incorporate them into my language.” Alda has also helped a wide range of scientists. He has “made many of us look from the outside at what we do and ask how we can do better in telling our stories and be more engaging about our fields,” said Louise Leakey, a research professor in the department of anthropology at Stony Brook who works on human evolution in Africa. Alda asked Leakey to sit on the advisory board at the center because she was working to make the fossil collection accessible online and set up a citizen science project in paleontology. The notion of sharing science with non-scientists has only recently become more acceptable and more popular, in part

because scientists are struggling to get funding for projects ranging from basic science exploring physical properties at an incredibly small scale to discoveries that might help treat diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s disease or schizophrenia, researchers said. Alda has continued to be a driving force at the center, which, in 2013, was renamed the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science. In what friends suggest was typical self-deprecating fashion, Alda said he was flattered that the school was named after him and suggested that, to that point, only a horse had shared his name. Committed to the center and passionate about science, Alda continues to keep a schedule that would exhaust someone half his age. Years ago, he shot his final episode of The Blacklist, in which his character, Alan Fitch, dies. That night, Alda flew to Chicago to give a talk as the keynote speaker of the American Association of Medical Colleges to an audience of more than 1,200. Alda didn’t get his wake up call and got up 20 minutes before his 8 a.m. speech, when he inspired leaders about the need to share science with the public. That night, Alda flew back to New York, where he opened on Broadway in a matinee of “Love Letters.” Bass said Alda’s work ethic has inspired others at the center. “We want to help” these efforts become “an important part of his legacy,” Bass said. It’s a legacy that continues because of a lifesaving surgery Alda had when he was meeting with a LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Kathryn Mandracchia

scientist in Chile in 2003. When a local surgeon made a diagnosis and told him the procedure, Alda said he’d need an end-to-end anastomosis. The surprised surgeon asked him how he knew that, and Alda said he used to pretend to perform that in the show “M*A*S*H.” Friends, colleagues, and scientists appreciate the active intellectual life Alda and Arlene Alda, who have been married close to 59 years, share. Arlene Alda, a photographer and children’s book author, and her husband have numerous books in their house, Strogatz said. They use these books to continue to feed their curiosity. Alda has also asked Strogatz to give him geometry problems to solve. “He works on them with great effort for weeks or months at a time,” Strogatz said. For Alda, the final product, however, is less important than the process. And that process continues as Alda heads into another decade. These days, the people who imagine his distinctive voice aren’t picturing Hawkeye Pierce in a red robe running to a helicopter so much as they are looking for inspiration in their efforts to share the wonder and beauty of science. “Sometimes when I have to explain a complicated topic to a nonscientist, I imagine Alan sitting next to me and asking me questions like I’m a guest on Scientific American Frontiers,” West said. “Trying to envision what questions he would ask often helps me figure out what answers to give.”
