Snowfall totals were in the double digits by the end of the weekend, but that did not stop Smithtown’s emergency responders from doing their jobs effectively. The Smithtown Fire Department was out in full force over the weekend to confront the heavy snow, high winds and slippery and closed roads to answer calls for medical assistance. Ambulance crews working in coordination with engine

and rescue companies and the Suffolk County Police Department were able to handle all emergency calls, give patients initial treatment and get them to the hospital in a safe and timely manner, according to Jeff Bressler, spokesman for the Smithtown Fire Department. Bressler said the snow was a little bit more challenging than in other storms over recent years. “The snow was more intense, the visibility poorer and the slickness of the roads more dif-

ficult to drive on than in last year’s storms,” he said. “The Town of Smithtown Highway Department did an excellent job of clearing and treating the major roads throughout the storm.” Some of the biggest challenges that Bressler said needed to be addressed in order to protect patient care were the quick digging out of walks leading up to patients’ homes, the transfer of patients into ambulances without any decent ground traction on stretcher wheels and digging out

ambulances trapped in snow. “As can be expected many of the local neighborhood roads were totally blocked by snow until the Highway Department was able to secure the main roads,” Bressler said. “This is where we found difficulty. Eventually, they were able to secure access to all roads throughout Smithtown.” Several medical calls were answered with a convoy of vehicles to assist: the ambulance, an engine or rescue truck and a fire district snow plow.

Smithtown responds to possible school closure By alex petroSki

With a possible deficit looming, the Smithtown Central School District board of education is moving closer to a decision on the fate of its eight elementary schools, following a public work session on Jan. 19 and a board meeting on Jan. 26. Discussions between the school board and the community were getting emotional this week. Superintendent James Grossane, with the help of Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Andrew Tobin, backed up his five rec-

ommendations to the school board from a November 2015 housing report with statistics at the work session on Jan. 19. “I can’t tell you that 2017-18 will be the deficit year, but it’s becoming more and more likely as we look out ahead that 201718, maybe 2018-19, if we don’t get those type of increases, we know our expenses are going to go up, we’re going to certainly be facing it at some point,” Tobin said during the work session. At the work session the board, along with Grossane, discussed the findings of the housing report that made five SCHOOLS continued on page a8

Smithtown High School East art students in Tim Needles’ drawing class collaborated with the science department and the National Art Honor Society to create a mural to enter into the annual Wyland Foundation’s National “Water is Life” Mural and Art Challenge. Their “Protecting Our Oceans” creation featured dolphins, marine animals, wildlife and a boat over an illuminated sky. This year’s contest was themed “Our

Coasts and Climate,” and the foundation and its partners provided 100 schools with educational materials and 50-square-foot canvas murals to look at the economic, cultural and aesthetic value of the world’s ocean resources. The contest encouraged students to work together while studying climate issues. The mural depicts the full eastern coast of the United States with local marine life and landmarks, such as Stony Brook University’s R/V Seawolf research vessel in Port Jefferson. Winners will be announced in late January.

In memory of three Smithtown Democrats Since the group’s last meeting in 2015, former Smithtown Democrats Andy Gasazza, Anthony LaVecchia and Edward McNulty have died, Smithtown Democratic Chairman Ed Maher said in a statement. Gasazza, a military veteran, ran for the New York State Assembly in 1976, coming close to winning at a time when the Assembly was controlled by the Republicans, Maher remembered. “Some consider Andy’s race as having blazed the trail that led to Democrat Pat Vecchio being elected Smithtown supervisor in the following year,” Maher said in a statement. LaVecchia was a longtime committee member who was also a World War II combat veteran and a recipient of both a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. McNulty, also a military veteran, was a committed Democrat who consistently volunteered to work on campaigns to elect our candidates. “The current Democratic Party stands on the shoulders of all the dedicated committee members that came before us to run for office and to work so hard on campaigns and committee business,” Maher said. “I offer my condolences to the members of the group who worked with Ed, Andy and Tony during all these past years.”

Smithtown board gives green light to fleet upgrade Town unanimously approves comptroller’s plan to breathe new life into aging vehicles through leasing By Phil Corso

Smithtown is going ahead with plans to upgrade its vehicle fleet. The Smithtown Town Board voted unanimously at its meeting last Thursday night, Jan. 21, to enter into an agreement with Enterprise Fleet Management and gradually upgrade its aging vehicle fleet. Over the next year, the town will begin phasing in 23 new high-mileage vehicles into its fleet with more to come, according to the agreement with Enterprise FM Trust. The proposal came from town Comptroller Donald Musgnug, who brought Enterprise representatives to the board before a work session earlier this month calling on the town to upgrade its 192-vehicle fleet. Most of those vehicles, Musgnug said, were approaching two decades in age and six-digit mileage numbers. “Clearly we have an aging fleet,” Musgnug said to the board at the work session. “Enterprise is one of the leaders in this industry. The proposal is on the table.” Musgnug said Smithtown had about

$986,000 set aside in its 2016 budget for the purchasing and maintenance of the town’s vehicle fleet used across various departments, and with Enterprise’s help, the town would be replacing about 173 of its vehicles over the next five years and save money while doing it. According to the deal, Enterprise would purchase the vehicles directly from various manufacturers and use government incentives while leasing them out to the town for prices Smithtown would not be able to acquire on its own, the Enterprise leasing representatives said. “We’ve been doing this with a lot of New York entities,” said Jacob Garth, government marketing manager at Enterprise at a work session earlier this month. “We do more than just managing and acquiring vehicles. When we look at the fleet, one of the key objectives we make is to lower the age of the fleet, and a significant portion of your fleet is more than 10 years old.” Garth said that municipalities like Smithtown typically purchase their vehicles via state contractors, which often limit purchases to only one manufacturer.

smithtown is entering a new agreement with Enterprise to upgrade its vehicle fleet.

Enterprise, however, has more than 1.6 million vehicles in its fleet from a range of manufacturers, which Garth argued would give Smithtown more opportunity for savings through open-ended leases.

Fleet consultant Jay Greene of Enterprise also said his group has already signed onto similar agreements with Brookhaven and Huntington towns and started discussing plans with Smithtown back in September.

Bagel burglar books it By Elana Glowatz

LISFA in Smithtown Photo from the Smithtown Central School District

Smithtown High School West hosted the 60th annual Long Island String Festival Association’s Suffolk Elementary Festival on Jan. 17. Approximately 300 students, 19 from Smithtown Central School District, performed with the elementary and middle school honor orchestras.

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.

Marine veteran tackles new fight From St. James to Okinawa, Japan, North Shore native kicks into gear By Alex Petroski

Some people watch mixed martial arts fights on television and think “that’s brutal,” or “that’s barbaric,” or “that’s too violent.” Some don’t know what it is at all. But North Shore native Devin Mollberg described the anything-goes, hand-to-hand combat style differently. “It’s really exhilarating…It’s just an adrenaline rush,” said Mollberg, a 28-year-old Ward Melville High School graduate and a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, about his favorite pastime. Mollberg grew up in Stony Brook, where he returned home from Afghanistan following his second tour of duty in late 2014. His first tour deployed him to Japan and South Korea. During his enlistment, he was stationed in Twentynine Palms, California “It’s kind of a tough transition,” Mollberg said in an interview last week about adjusting back to home life after four years in the military. “It’s kind of like, you leave home and then when you come back four years later everything’s a lot different. So it’s kind of tough getting back into the routine of things.” Mollberg, like countless other veterans, said he realized the importance of finding ways to regain a feeling of normalcy upon returning home. Mixed martial arts has provided him with that. “I started doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu when I was a teenager,” Mollberg said. “I’d always trained jiu-jitsu and boxing even throughout my entire enlistment. I would train at schools in California.” Mollberg has been involved in two jiu-jitsu tournaments in his life, one in Okinawa, Japan, and one in 2015 in St. James. He said he decided to use his boxing, jiu-jitsu and military training blend to pursue a mixed martial arts career. Generally speaking, the most successful MMA fighters tend to use a seamless blend of multiple disciplines to create their own style. He gave MMA a full endorsement as a way for veterans to channel some of their emotions upon returning home. “It’s definitely a great thing for veterans to get into,” Mollberg said. “It helps you stay calm.” “Devin’s a goal-setter and a go-getter,” Nick Galatro, a friend of Mollberg’s for about a decade, said in an interview. “When he puts his mind to something he won’t stop until he gets it and he’s probably the most humble guy I know. You will never hear how great he is from his mouth,” Galatro said. “It’s just an important skill set that I think is something that you should have,” Mollberg said about what initially drew him to fighting. “It’s definitely a passion of mine. I love fighting.” Some of his other passionate interests include rooting for the New York Jets and Knicks. He follows the Jets with the same intensity as a cage fighter. Though he hasn’t yet been in an MMA “cage fight,” his training and preparation are currently geared toward making that debut in 2016. Mollberg trained for the Brazilian jiu-jitsu tournament in 2015 at Red Dragon Jiu-Jitsu in Centereach. He is in the process of selecting a suitable gym for his foray into MMA. Long Island natives have experienced some success in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, mixed martial arts’ most popular governing organization. Chris Weidman, who fights out of Baldwin, spent time as the UFC middleweight division champion. Chris Wade of Islip won his 11th professional bout in a UFC match Sunday.

Smithtown family’s murder-suicide rocks village By Elana Glowatz

“Silent but smiling, Henry hit William again and again, leaving the young man lying senseless on the carpeted floor.” It’s a story that unfolds like a dark novel. A member of a prominent family in a quiet, seaside village snaps one day and beats his relatives to death at the home they shared, splattering blood everywhere, before hanging himself in the backyard barn. A child who narrowly escapes the massacre grows up to be a successful businessman but will remain forever haunted by his memories. The 1857 murder-suicide on Beach Street shocked the Port Jefferson community and would likely still shock residents today. It could have all started with the reportedly turbulent relationship between Henry Walters and his wife of three years, Elizabeth Darling-Walters. Or perhaps it was the feud between Walters and his wife’s son-in-law William Sturtevant that was boiling into legal action despite the two living under the same roof. According to a narrative written by former Port Jefferson historian Ken Brady and published in the Port Times Record 10 years ago, the gossip around the village was that Walters, 57, and Darling-Walters, 46, fought frequently, with things so bad that they did not share a bed. The husband, a carpenter and a farmer, felt ignored and was “worried that his wife would leave her substantial

estate to Martha Jane and Emmet,” her Walters was eating breakfast with the children from her first marriage to the young Sturtevant couple when Walters, late Matthew Darling, one of the founders finished feeding the horses, grabbed of the nearby Darling Shipyard on the an iron bar and rushed into the dining west side of the harbor. room. According to Brady, the son-in-law The Darling family was originally was bludgeoned to death first with blows from Smithtown but built their Port Jef- to the head, “splattering brain matter on ferson shipyard in 1832 and quickly be- the walls and furniture.” Then Walters came prolific, building 13 ships during went after his wife and 20-year-old stepthat decade alone. daughter, who both fled outside. If the chatter is true, Walters showed “Elizabeth tried to shield herself warning signs of a violent outburst. from the savage blows, but soon fell to Brady wrote, “In a the ground mortally creepy attempt to win ‘Her barn was haunted wounded, her skull back his wife’s affecfractured and dress tions, Henry bought a by the ghost of Henry soaked with blood.” shroud from local coffin Walters, whose terrifying Martha Jane Sturtemaker Ambrose King. screams supposedly vant was spared when Walters often wore the Matthew Darling’s white burial sheet about echoed over the harbor.’ younger brother, Beach the homestead, threatStreet resident John ening to commit suicide if Elizabeth did E.

been misspelled as “Emmett,” grew into a productive adult. According to former Cedar Hill Cemetery historian George Moraitis, Darling took over his family’s shipyard and married twice before his death almost 30 years after the murders. His elder sister moved on to a degree — in his written history “Forevermore on Cedar Hill,” Moraitis noted that Martha Jane later remarried, to Capt. Oliver Davis. But Brady said the woman lived in the same house where her mother and first husband were murdered until her own death in 1906, “despite claims from some villagers that her barn was haunted by the ghost of Henry Walters, whose terrifying screams supposedly echoed over the harbor.” No one else will live in the murder house, however — both the home and the shipyard property have been torn down and rebuilt. The Port Jefferson Village historical photo archive notes that the Port Jefferson Fire Department burned down the home during a drill 60 years ago, on Jan. 22, 1956, and a Suffolk County sewer facility took its place. The Darling shipyard, on the other hand, eventually became a power plant. Darling-Walters is buried at Cedar Hill with her first husband and daughter, and William Sturtevant at his own family’s grave site there. Emmet Darling rests at Oak Hill Cemetery in Stony Brook with his second wife, Julia A. Oakes. According to Moraitis, the killer’s burial place is unknown.

SCHOOLS Continued from page A1

recommendations, labeled Options 1 through 5, for money saving measures. Of the five recommendations, all suggested closing at least one of the district’s eight elementary schools. Grossane’s report said that closing one elementary school would save the district $725,000 annually. Four of the five options included closing Branch Brook Elementary, which caused an uprising among district parents and started a Save Branch Brook movement that included petitions, Facebook pages, presentations to the school board and matching blue T-shirts. Meredith Lombardi, a resident in the district, made a heartfelt plea to the board on Tuesday night. “I was in sixth grade and my school district was redistricted,” Lombardi said. “I was ripped from my school. I was told that I was going to be going to a new one.” Lombardi expressed a fear of putting her three children through the same experience that she had. “If you allow one of our schools to close, the children affected will never be the same,” Lombardi said. Lombardi was one of eight “Save Branch Brook” parents who stepped up to the podium to address the board Tuesday night. Katie Healy was another. “Branch Brook is our most efficient and

cost effective school,” Healy said. “Branch Brook is not the school to close. It is the wrong place and the wrong time. Closing Branch Brook will not solve our district’s problems, it will just add more,” Healy said. At the time that the recommendations were made, it was unclear what lead Grossane to suggest closing Branch Brook as a course of action. Parents from the Save Branch Brook contingent conducted their own housing-committee-style research and concluded that Branch Brook was the elementary school least deserving of closure based on building occupancy, square foot per student, students per usable classroom and utility cost. They also offered their own recommendation, Option 6, which suggested that based on their findings Smithtown Elementary was the school that should be closed. It is now clear what led Grossane to suggest Branch Brook for closure, records showed. The number of elementary school classrooms that feed students to the district’s two high schools must be close. Currently, the eight elementary schools send 116 classrooms worth of students to Smithtown West when they reach ninth grade and 114 to Smithtown East, according to Grossane. If Branch Brook were closed and district boundaries were not redrawn, 114 elementary classes would still be fed to East, while 96 would be sent to West. This is a discrepancy that Grossane

is comfortable with. Closing Smithtown Elementary, for example, which was put on the table by the community’s Option 6, would result in 114 elementary classrooms for East and 84 for West. Grossane said that there would be no choice but to redistrict if that was the option that the board selected. Additionally, the district needs to select a school for closure that does not leave their potential elementary school capacity vulnerable to growing enrollment. Grossane’s report said that even if the board chose Option 5, which would close Branch Brook and Dogwood Elementary schools, the district would be able to handle roughly 800 additional elementary students on top of the approximately 3,700 elementary school students enrolled for 2015-16 across the eight schools. Closing one or two elementary schools would obviously increase average class size, though Grossane called instances where any classes would reach a district implemented maximum of 28 students “outliers.” “Every school has a grade level that runs almost to maximum,” Grossane said at the work session. “If we close a building and we operate with seven, those outliers would smooth out. They’d shift. There would still be an outlier occasionally in every building. I’m not going to tell you there isn’t going to be a class in fifth grade that doesn’t have a 28 at some point within the next six years

after we close a building, because there definitely will be. But it’s usually one grade per building. Most times, the class averages even out across the district.” Members of the school board responded to Grossane’s findings as well as the overwhelming public comments from the previous meetings. “I have been doing a lot of housing committee work over my time on the board,” Theresa Knox, a trustee on the board of education said on the 19th. “I’ve been through this within my own neighborhood, as many of you know. My children were not affected by the closing of Nesconset, but all of the children on the end of my little dead-end block were. And I have to look at them everyday. And they’re doing great.” Knox responded to parents concerned about which elementary school their kids would be sent to if closures were carried out. “It had better be, that all of our elementary buildings are fine, educational, welcoming, nurturing, caring places.” Discussions about the sale and/or repurposing of the district’s administration headquarters on New York Avenue in Smithtown are ongoing as well. Public comments are not permitted during public work sessions. More debate and eventually a decision are inevitable in the coming weeks. A date has not yet been selected for a vote on the matter.

PEOPLE Four new Eagle Scouts from Troop 301

James Bindert, Jacob Chandler, Cole DeMarco and Robert Peters are the newest Eagle Scouts from Boy Scout Troop 301. To meet the requirements for their respective Eagle Scout awards, each candidate completed a community service project to assist a nonprofit organization, local school or town park. Bindert constructed an informational kiosk at the Smithtown Historical Society where visitors can view a map of the society’s grounds as well as see a list of upcoming events. Chandler renovated the entrance to the physical education center at Nesaquake Middle School in St. James. He painted a mural on the retaining wall, redesigned the flower bed and added a new welcome sign and benches. DeMarco reconstructed the bocce ball court at Hoyt Farm in Commack, built a kiosk with the rules and a scoreboard for each court and replaced the benches. Peters built two display homes for owls at Sweetbriar Nature Center in Smithtown so the birds can live in a safe environment. “It is always an honor to attend the Eagle Scout Court of Honor and I am always so impressed by what these young men have accomplished at such a young age,” said Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga). “Their commitment and dedication to the scouts speaks volumes about their character, leadership skills and service to the community. They have made their parents, family, scout leaders and fellow scouts, community and government officials very proud and I am sure they will continue to do so.”

Students from Smithtown High School West took part in the 20th annual Virtual Enterprises National Business Plan Competition at Farmingdale State College on Jan. 15. The students qualified for the finals and will now have the opportunity to participate in the international trade show at New York in April. Competing against teams from more than 45 Long Island schools, each school also participated in the annual trade show, where students created booths to sell their virtual products to more than 500 customers who came to the Virtual Enterprises marketplace. West’s students created a business called BluTunes Entertainment, a music/DJ equipment company providing Bluetooth, solar and rechargeable audio gear.

Smithtown pair wins national marketing challenge Smithtown High School East students and DECA members Ryan Micozzi and Jainee Gabrielsen were named the winners of the Herff Jones Marketing Results Challenge. The pair competed against two other national finalists at the Herff Jones International Sales Conference in Palm Desert, Calif., on Jan. 10-12. As the overall winning team, Micozzi and Gabrielsen will be awarded a travel prize by Herff Jones to help cover their expenses to DECA’s 2016 International Career Development Conference in Nashville, Tenn., in April, where they will be recognized. Participants in the challenge assisted Herff Jones in testing an array of promotional messages delivered to potential yearbook buyers through various channels. DECA members analyzed yearbook-buying patterns and attitudes, then created and implemented marketing campaigns to increase yearbook awareness and sales on campus. For the first round of competition, Micozzi and Gabrielsen created a 10-minute video explaining their market research. They competed in the finals by delivering a 30-minute presentation along with answering 15 minutes of questions.

The success of the starters is rubbing off on the Kings Park bench. In the girls’ basketball team’s monster 90-35 win over Eastport-South Manor Tuesday, every single one of the Kingsmen

Kings Park is also on an eight-game winning streak. “I tell the girls I don’t care who’s on the floor whether you’re our best player or a starter or the 12th girl at the bottom of the bench, when you get out there you play hard and these girls did it,” Kings Park head coach Tom Edmundson said. “We didn’t have any girls left off the scoring table. We had 11 3-pointers, two girls who never scored before hit 3-pointers tonight,

“It’s nice when you know you have support when you’re coming off the floor that someone else is going to step onto the court and step up and make shots,” Slicklein said. The bench remained on the court for the final eight minutes of the game, and put up 24 points while holding EastportSouth Manor to 12. “It’s a great time for us to show off our team skills,” Ahern said. “We’re hoping to win the league, so by making this another statement game it’s a great opportunity to show those teams — and those in the other leagues — that we’re a good team and a tough competitor.” With the girls playing a makeup game on Monday on account of the weather and with Tuesday’s game being the girls’ “coaches vs. cancer” game, there were a lot of distractions, and Edmundson liked that his team was able to remain focused. “To play the way they did is a testament to their ability,” he said. “We definitely have the talent, the heart and the dedication to make a county run — we just have to go out there and do it.” For players like Ahern, she used what the night represented as motivation to shine. “I played in memory of my uncle and a girl who passed away in our town a couple of years ago and a junior varsity coach,” she said. “I was playing for those who died and survived cancer, so it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to play for them.” Kings Park is three wins above Hauppauge and Half Hollow Hills West,

so if the team can continue its winning ways, the Kingsmen should remain in the top spot. But the girls’ goal is to remain undefeated. “We’re very confident but we don’t want to get too cocky, so we just want to play our best every day and bring our best to every game,” Slicklein said. “If we continue to do that, I think we’re going to like the outcome.”

TIMES BEACON RECORD CLASSIFIEDS • 331–1154 0R 751–7663 Residential Styles Learn about the home styles in your market and beyond. 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 Š

OPINION EdiTOriAL

Not all people must be governed 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.

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

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.”
