Ward Melville grad takes lessons from front lines into the ring

PAgE A5

A wintery nor’easter barreled through the northeast over the weekend, and the Three Village community was hardly spared. Snow accumulation totals were in the double-digits with the Setauket and Stony Brook area received more than 20

inches of snow by the time the storm subsided. But the horrific weather conditions did little to deter the North Shore community, officials who worked on the front lines said. Dr. James A. Vosswinkel, Stony Brook University Hospital’s chief of trauma surgery, said the community has gotten better

at facing dangerous weather over recent years, and it showed over the weekend. “We set up for it, but fortunately, I think after all the bad weather we’ve had . . . people have really started to listen to news advisories,” he said. “We haven’t had as much bad stuff.” Stony Brook University Hospi-

Student employment spikes at Stony Brook University By Phil Corso

Stony Brook University is putting its students to work both inside and outside the classroom. The university announced this week that it was turning up the heat at its oncampus dining services, where student payroll wages went up 32 percent thanks to an employment increase of 22 percent over the past year. The school has made on-campus hiring a greater priority over the past year, a spokeswoman said, because of research studies stating that it not only helped them raise money, but become better students as well. Research from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed that part-time campus jobs not only raise cash, but also can help raise students’ grade-point averages. Campus dining services student employees collectively earned $663,912 — earning a competitive average wage of $9.40 per hour — and maintained an average 3.27 GPA during the fall 2015 semester, Stony Brook University said in a statement. “We applaud campus dining for taking this approach as these student employees will develop transferable skills that can apply in a variety of work environments and position students for career-relevant internships and full time jobs,” said Marianna Savoca, director of the career center at Stony Brook. “The

career center works with hundreds of employers from every industry sector — they want candidates with workplace skills and experience — and that’s what our student employment program aspires to create.” More than 220 students were on campus last week for on-site training for various positions they will occupy over the coming year — and they’re still hiring, the university said. The university’s campus dining services employed more than 450 students in the fall of 2015, a spokeswoman for the university said. Over the past year, Stony Brook students worked an average of 22 hours each week across various positions that go beyond just the kitchens and dining spots, the spokeswoman said. “They work in marketing, social media, event planning and Web, and often interact directly with managers, chefs, university personnel and the public,” the spokeswoman said in a statement. “Working for campus dining has allowed me to improve my communication skills with customers, staff, and teammates, all while giving me the freedom to use my creativity and experience to work towards a common goal,” said David Golden, a CDS marketing intern and business marketing major who plans to graduate in May 2017. Campus dining services student em-

Campus Dining student employees gather for spring 2016 training.

ployees receive thorough training in customer service, time management, food safety, communication, special food needs training and social media, the university said. A total of seven student employees have received AllerTrain food allergy training, and nearly 90 student employees have earned a Suffolk County Food Handler’s Certificate. Kareema Charles is an example that a student position at Stony Brook can lead to a full-time job. After graduating from Stony Brook University with a degree in journalism, Charles was hired to serve as a management trainee helping to produce The Seawolves Food Show, an online video series developed by the uni-

Photo from Stony Brook University

versity’s Faculty Student Association in collaboration with journalism students to help the campus community learn more about campus dining programs. Prior to graduation, Charles worked as a student producer for The Seawolves Food Show. “I never imagined that my student job would turn into a full time position after graduation,” said Charles. “Stony Brook’s School of Journalism gave me all the skills I needed for my current position, while the university’s Faculty Student Association gave me the opportunity to use those skills in a real-world setting. Stony Brook made the transition from college life into every day work life really easy.”

Marine veteran tackles new fight Ward Melville High School graduate steps into mixed martial arts arena 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.

Jefferson’s Ferry resident and chair of the exhibit committee, Barbara Strongin, commented on the positive effect the photography contest has on the residents and staff. “Thirteen years of photos have not only added beauty to our facility, but have also told the story of our residents’ lives. The photos are both our history and our legacy.”

DEBATE Continued from page A1

for the NSJC, coordinated the event, though it was student-run. Welkes has been teaching at the Synagogue for three years. “I really wanted it to be student-led because I feel like if the students choose how to guide the curriculum they’re going to take ownership of that and it’s going to be that much more meaningful for them,” Welkes said in an interview after the event. Each student had an opportunity to introduce their hero and provide an opening statement to make their case. Then they had to answer questions

from the moderator — Welkes — to strengthen their arguments. The students were given some suggestions as to what format they wanted for their presentation. In an election year, the decision was easy. “Since the students are aware of the presidential debates going on, they are the ones who decided that they would like to present their fi ndings in a debate format,” Welkes said. The heroes that were chosen came from a wide variety of fields and walks of life. Director Steven Spielberg, Major League Baseball players Sandy Koufax and Hank Greenberg, Adam Sandler, Holocaust survivor Jack Gruener, Anne

Frank, Albert Einstein, Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon and the Boston-based band Safam were the debated heroes. A similarity among their cases for the most influential modern Jewish hero was their pride in being Jewish. “See, like Ilan Ramon, my generation, no one knows about him,” a student who participated in the debate said. “People like Adam Sandler, some people don’t know that he’s Jewish. They just know he’s ‘that guy, he’s funny.’ Now that people know he’s Jewish, it’s better. It’s important to recognize Jewish people,” Sandler was his hero. Two of the participants said they had

fun speaking in front of the crowd about something they were proud of. One student fought through some nerves and delivered an informative case for her hero, Anne Frank. “I don’t like a lot of people listening,” she said after the event. The debate was too close to call. Welkes declared it an eight-way tie, though a parent could be heard upon the conclusion saying there were more suitable presidential candidates on this stage than in the real debates. “The kids were really engaged and we wanted to do something innovative and exciting and I think we accomplished that,” Welkes said.

The Ward Melville cheerleading team is heading back to nationals next month. After placing in the top three at three state competitions this season, the Patriots also finished first for the third year in a row at the Empire Regionals at Hofstra University in December, where the girls earned an automatic bid to attend the national competition in Walt Disney World on Feb. 6 and 7. “We worked really hard to perform the way we did that day,” senior co-captain Kellyann Egan said of the team’s performance that earned them the right to perform on the big stage for the fourth year in a row. “There was more pressure there because we wanted to do really well at home, and we ended up placing first and taking the automatic bid home and a banner for our gym.” This was the first season when cheerleading was recognized as a sport by Section XI, and although the state scoring is different than that of the Universal Cheerleaders Association guidelines that the teams are used to, Ward Melville head coach Loren Quitoni said she’s just glad her girls are getting the recognition she feels they should. “Being declared a sport has been a great way to give all cheerleaders the long overdue respect that they earned and deserve,” she said. “As there is more and more exposure to the sport each year, there is more and more respect and support given. Cheerleaders practice all but two months. It is extremely demanding on the body and requires an endless amount of time spent on proper safety skills, body technique and correct execution, not to mention that they perform during football and basketball season, on top of their own competition season.” Cheerleading being declared a sport has

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;

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.

Keep Melville To The ediTor: The following letter was written in response to “Three Village BOE responds to comptroller audit,” an article that ran in the Jan. 21 edition of The Village Times Herald. in response to Jeff Kerman’s “issue” with the name of Ward Melville high school, where do i start? i’ll make two uneducated assumption as Mr. Kerman has done: First, he did not live in the Three Villages in the 1930s and, second, he is Jewish. Based on those two assumptions, i can fully understand his issue. As a member of our school board i would expect him to make some effort to learn the facts and not rely totally on Lee Koppelman’s

comment in a recent Newsday story. i agree that, “it is not acceptable in today’s age,” however, we are talking about the 1930s and ’40s when i couldn’t get a job with the New York Telephone Company because of my italian heritage after serving in the U.S. Navy during World War ii as an aviation electrician — skills and qualifications didn’t count. That being said, i can attest to the fact that Mr. Melville was not an anti-Semite — the first tenant in the new village center was a Jewish optician — and he helped the synagogue in Setauket. he gave mortgages to residents, including African-Americans and then forgave the mortgages in his will. There is so much to learn about the Melvilles. My wife and i were

blessed to have Mrs. Melville as a friend and mentor for more than 10 years. She never uttered one word to indicate anti-Semitism or racism during our many conversations. Mr. and Mrs. Melville created our beautiful community; Mr. Melville created the Three Village school district and built the buildings at his expense as he did with the original shopping center. Change the name? No. i would suggest a course in local history for the school board and students and then change the lettering on the building top to gold. Mr. Kerman, call my wife to get your facts straight before the district does anything stupid. richard rocchio Stony Brook

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.”
