A longlasting blizzard that blew through the Port Jefferson area over the weekend dumped about two feet of snow on top of streets, cars and roofs, making a slippery mess for everyone to wade through.

Clockwise from above, snow starts to cover Main Street in lower Port as a code enforcement vehicle keeps watch over the area; two men trudge toward Port Jefferson Station, going uphill on Route 25A; and snow decorates leaves.

Coverage continues on pages A12 and A13.

Learn to use Narcan

Concerned that a loved one will overdose on drugs? Suffolk County is hosting training classes over the next few months to teach residents how to identify overdoses of opioid drugs — such as heroin, Vicodin and Percocet — and use the anti-overdose medication Narcan to rescue victims. The county’s parting gift for people who show up to the program is an emergency resuscitation kit that contains Narcan as well as a certificate of completion.

Classes in February are a bit of a hike for Port Jefferson and Comsewogue area residents. The first, on Feb. 4, will be held at the Mattituck firehouse on Pike Street from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

(RSVP to ihateheroin631@gmail.com).

There will be another in Greenlawn on Feb. 12, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Harborfields library on Broadway (RSVP to Sheila Sullivan at 631-2718025 or sullivans@nysa.us). A third will take place on Feb. 18 in Wyandanch, at the Wyandanch Community Resource Center on Straight Path from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (RSVP to 631-643-1960 or mthomas@townofbabylon.com).

Driven by drugs: Cops share local crime stats

By Elana Glowatz

Overall crime is dropping in the 6th Precinct — but one wouldn’t know that by looking at the number of drug arrests.

Fewer crimes are being reported across the board while heroin arrests have doubled in the last five years, according to Suffolk County Police Department statistics shared at a joint meeting Tuesday night of the Port Jefferson Station/ Terryville Civic Association and Comsewogue Community Crime Awareness Committee. Inspector Bill Murphy, the head of the precinct, said those arrests numbered 148 in 2011 but ballooned to 298 last year.

“And that’s just our arrests,” he said, noting that it doesn’t account for all heroin use. “Those are times that we come across it.”

Comsewogue area residents and visitors from neighboring civic associations vented their frustrations about local drug-related crimes and activity at the meeting in the Comsewogue Public Library on Terryville Road as they received the most recent data about police action on the issue. Despite the overall drop in crime, Murphy said drug addicts are still behind many of the reported incidents in the 6th Precinct.

“Unfortunately, a lot of the serious

crimes we have are driven by drug abuse: The people addicted to heroin and they’re so addicted to it, they have to get money to go and buy these drugs,” he said. “They’re doing stickups, they’re doing burglaries.”

The police are cracking down on the drug trade, however. Murphy noted that officers had executed search warrants on three “drug houses” in the past week

alone. One of them was in Centereach, where he said cops busted a repeat offender and caught him with 4 ounces of cocaine and 2 ounces of heroin.

“He’s going away for a long time,” Murphy said.

But the police activity is not limited to arrests. Officers also attack local drug addiction when they save people from

opioid overdoses using Narcan, a medication they carry that stops overdoses of drugs like heroin, Vicodin, OxyContin, Demerol and Percocet.

Officer Will Gibaldi said at the meeting that in the past four weeks alone, they responded to three overdoses in Port Jefferson and one in Port Jefferson Station.

“We do handle a decent amount of them,” the officer said.

Police have been relying on Narcan so much in the few years since they first got access to medication that the department has stopped keeping track of how many lives officers have saved with the overdose antidote.

“We actually stopped giving statistics on it,” Murphy said. “After we broke the ‘500’ mark, there were just so many of them, it was senseless to even bother keeping numbers.”

For residents who are concerned about drug activity in their neighborhoods or want to report it to the police, Gibaldi emphasized that communication with the public is a department priority, saying, “Our door is always open.”

Likewise, Murphy invited people to reach out to him.

“If you contact me with a problem, you will get a response. You will not be ignored.”

North Shore Jewish Center hosts debate

By Alex Petroski

Modern Jewish heroes were recognized at an event at the North Shore Jewish Center in Port Jefferson Station last Wednesday.

A group of eight sixth- and seventhgraders held a debate to decide who is the most influential modern Jewish hero, in front of their families and other Hebrew school classes.

The event was called “Hagiborim Shelanu,” which is Hebrew for “Our Heroes.”

Heather Welkes, who is in her first year working as the coordinator for experiential learning 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,” she 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.

In an election year, deciding the event format was easy.

“Since the students are aware of the presidential debates going on, they are the ones who decided that they would like to

North shore Jewish Center presented a debate about Jewish Heroes with Heather Welkes as moderator.

present their findings in a debate format,” Welkes said.

The chosen heroes came from a variety of fields and walks of life. Director Steven Spielberg, baseball players Sandy Koufax and Hank Greenberg, comedian Adam Sandler, Holocaust survivor Jack Gruener and symbol Anne Frank, scientist 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,

“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.

Harborside 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.

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.

Students at Eastern Suffolk BOCES’ Jefferson Academic Center met every day for one month in the Technology Center to design and construct a basketball game board that included a mechanism to catapult a ball into a hoop.

The construction of the backboard and hoop was standard; every team received the same materials — plywood, dowels, white pine and wire. The mechanism had to consist of adapted technology, such as a spoon, a spring, rubber bands, clothes pegs or anything creative.

“This project involved problem-solving activities,” technology teacher Ramesh Nathai said. “The students had to research, brainstorm, design, construct, test and evaluate, share their solutions and select the best and most efficient prototypes. The students also learned to use hand tools to build their designs.”

There was collaboration with the science, math and language arts teachers so the special education students could fully understand concepts such as force, energy, tension, compression, potential energy, kinetic energy, measurement, graphing and speed.

Rowan H., a student on the Mad Scientists team, and Luke C., a student on the Assassins team, went head-to-head in the final round. Luke won the Champion of Champions of the Basketball Board Game Competition. He attributes his win

Just beet it: Juicy mix works in heavy snow

By ElAnA GlowAtz

Suffolk County got tucked into a stark white blanket over the weekend as a blizzard barreled through the Northeast.

The storm did more than sprinkle flakes over the streets like residents saw with the dusting a week earlier — it dumped inches upon inches of snow onto the area, burying roads, roofs and vehicles, along with any ideas about making it through the winter with only mild weather.

Tallies from the National Weather Service showed about 2 feet of snow in many places on Long Island following the storm, which has been commonly referred to as Winter Storm Jonas, with counts going even higher in other places around New York.

The accumulation over the course of the roughly 24-hour snowstorm brought back memories of the February 2013 storm dubbed Nemo and the January 2015 one called Juno that both walloped the area and sentenced residents to hours of shoveling in order to dig themselves and their cars out of the mess.

In preparation for the storm, the Brookhaven Town Highway Department had stocked up on beet juice — not to hydrate workers during cleanup efforts, but to enhance the effectiveness of the salt it spread on roadways. According to a statement from the department, mixing the

juice with the salt keeps the salt working at lower temperatures: “Traditional salt melts ice on roadways down to about 15 degrees; once temperatures drop lower, the salt stops working. Adding beet juice to the mix improves salt’s performance, enabling it to continue melting ice at temperatures as low as 15 to 20 degrees below zero.”

Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) said that his crew used about 600 gallons of beet juice on one of their trucks.

“I was very pleased with the results,” he said. “Treating the salt with the beet juice … allowed us to use nearly one-half less salt by boosting its melting power and helping it stick to the roads.”

The department is still deciding whether to make the beet juice a permanent addition.

“Anytime we can apply less material, save taxpayers money and still have the same, if not better, results, it’s a winwin,” Losquadro said.

The beet juice cocktail came just days after news that the highway department had finished building two new salt storage spaces in southern Brookhaven Town to help crews treat roads during poor weather. The facilities are located in Holtsville and Manorville and together hold about 2,000 tons of salt, according to the town.

An officer cruises through as snow starts to bury cars during the blizzard over the weekend.

Brookhaven had previously constructed a new salt storage unit in Mount Sinai, in 2014.

During last winter, when Long Island was hit with much more frequent snowstorms, salt supplies dwindled and left municipalities scrambling for more.

“These two new facilities have increased the town’s available road salt material by 10 percent,” Losquadro

said. “Increasing our salt capacity on the ground will make Brookhaven more self-sufficient and rely less on our supplier’s availability to deliver this critical winter resource.”

Three more salt sheds are planned for the next 18 months, according to Brookhaven Town. Those additional three sites will bring the town’s salt capacity to 25,000 tons.

Double-double trouble: Lewis leads Royals Girls’ BasketBall

Port Jefferson . . . . . 55 Southold/Greenport . . 31

By Desirée Keegan

Behind Courtney Lewis’ stellar performance Monday night, the Port Jefferson girls’ basketball team kept the ball rolling with a 55-31 victory over Southold/Greenport to extend the Royals’ winning streak to six games.

Lewis recorded a double-double with 32 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.

“They’re starting to come together,” Port Jefferson head coach Ed Duddy said. “We started off slow in the beginning … [but] now I think everyone knows their role.”

Port Jefferson had trouble getting shots to fall until Lewis’ field goal at the 5:17 mark, which started the junior forward and guard’s 10-point tear in the first quarter.

“She’s a great captain,” junior point guard Jillian Colucci said of Lewis. “She boosts us all up and she’s so talented.

Her scoring gets us all going and gets us working hard.”

Southold remained in the game by scoring seven points to Lewis’ 10, but Port Jefferson sophomore guard Annabelle Soucy nailed a three-pointer with 30.6 seconds left to extend the Royals’ lead to 13-7.

Lewis tacked on a 3-point play to start the second stanza and then added four more points while Colucci tacked on a 3-pointer to put Port Jefferson up 23-20 at halftime.

But the Royals were just getting warmed up.

“Our coach’s halftime speech motivated us to come out stronger in the second half,” Lewis said. “I think our teamwork and team chemistry was great. We had a lot of assists and connected our passes a lot, and our fast breaks were great today.”

Those fast breaks and assists helped the Royals jump out to a 43-25 lead by the end of the third, with Lewis scoring 11 of the team’s 20 points and Colucci adding six.

In the final quarter, the Royals limited Southold to just two points by the 2:22 mark, while scoring eight more of their own. Southold added a field goal and two free throws in the final minutes, but Lewis added two free throws of her own GIRLS’ BASKETBALL continued on page A15 Photos by Desirée Keegan

to finish 9-for-10 from the charity stripe on the evening, and Soucy completed the scoring with a layup.

Colucci finished with 11 points and eight rebounds to help Port Jefferson to a 6-1 record in League VII. Southold now stands at 2-9.

“It’s Courtney, it’s Jillian, it’s a little bit of everybody,” Duddy said. “Jillian had a terrific game today. She did everything a point guard has to do with great passes and great defense and assists, but Annabelle and Jackie Brown have been playing very well, too. They’re all part of the team, but I think they all feed off of Courtney, and when she gets double- or triple-teamed she can kick it out to her

teammates and they get easy layups.”

As the team moves forward with only one loss in its conference, Colucci said the Royals have their sights on the top spot in the league, where Mattituck currently sits at 10-1.

But the point guard said she’s confident in her team’s ability after the Royals edged out Mattituck, 53-52, back on Jan. 11.

“That was a really good booster for us,” Colucci said. “But since we’re a core group of juniors that have been playing together for so long, the teamwork that we’ve developed helps us most.”

Lewis said the team had a rough first half the season, starting it off with losses to Comsewogue, Mount Sinai and Pierson/ Bridgehampton, but has come together to propel the Royals to their winning streak.

“This is my favorite sport and my favorite team,” Lewis said. “They’re

‘It’s a little bit of everybody. ... They’re all part of the team, but I think they all feed off of Courtney.’

— Ed duddy

all so great and we all help each other do better. We had a rough first half of the season but we picked it up and we took off. We don’t want to lose another game. We want to finish the season on a streak.”

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.

OPINION Ferry fare anger

EDITORIAL

Not all 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.

TO ThE EDITOR: I am not a commuter on the Port Jeff ferry, but I do have to use it from time to time, especially in the winter. It’s shocking to me that, with oil currently under $30 a barrel, the fare remains the same as when oil cost more than $100 a barrel.

Am I the only one outraged by this?

“I got a call from out of the “What had been emphasized by blue, which was really shocking,” the family was his acting career,” said Strogatz, a math professor at Cornell University. “He said, ‘this Kandel said. He described two is Alan Alda. I don’t know if you important features about Alda.

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.

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 SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ASSOCIATE EDITOR Ellen Recker 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.”
