Incumbents coming back North Shore electeds keep seats, but town councilwoman is now all alone in minority By elana glowatz

PAGe A4

The incumbents won big on Suffolk County’s North Shore this Election Day, with only a couple real upsets at the county and town levels. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) handily won a second term at the helm against his Republican challenger, lawyer Jim O’Connor, with 57 percent of the vote. Bellone thanked many people for his victory and also thanked his opponent for a “good race.” “Tonight the people of Suffolk County delivered a mandate — to advance the issues we talked about in this campaign,” he said, at the Democratic Election Night headquarters in Hauppauge. “To continue the reform government so that we can protect taxpayers, make government more efficient and effective. To reverse the decades of decline that we have seen in water quality so that we can protect this precious natural

resource for ourselves and future generations.” He vowed that he would work hard for the voters. “To the people of Suffolk County: I want to thank you for the confidence you placed in me and this incredible team of legislators. I can guarantee you we will repay that confidence by working hard every single day to make progress on the issues that matter to you and to your families. We may celebrate a little bit tonight but that work begins tomorrow.” Though Bellone was the clear winner early on, O’Connor said he was proud of his campaign. “I think we talked about the issues that need to be talked about here on Long Island,” he said. Despite the results, the challenger enjoyed himself: “I love this. … In America we run for office, we put our ideas forward and we let the people decide.” In the Suffolk County Legislature, incumbents from eLeCTION continued on page A12

Brookhaven takes on study to improve water quality By Giselle Barkley

Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said it’s time to wake up when it comes to Long Island’s water. Up until 10 years ago, Brookhaven residents could gather clams and oysters from bodies of water like the Setauket Harbor. But that’s not the case now, according to the Supervisor, who remarked on the closing of Mount Sinai Harbor for shell fishing. “If that isn’t a wake up call, I don’t know what is,” Romaine said. In light of Brookhaven’s declining water quality, on Tuesday, Oct. 27, the supervisor announced that the Town of Brookhaven would take on a study that will help officials pinpoint the sources of water contamination, starting with the Setauket Harbor. Romaine said the harbor was small enough for the town to examine and clean once they receive the results next year. Romaine said the town planned on looking at the pipes leading to the harbor, road runoff, and all drains that run to the harbor. In response to this, the town hired Cornell Cooperative Extension to conduct this study and to use DNA testing to help identify the sources of water pollution. While high levels of nitrogen were identified in the water, Brookhaven

Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R) said nitrogen could come from various sources, including leaching from underground septic systems, wild and domesticated animal feces and fertilizers, among other sources. Last year, Losquadro said his department finished reconstructing the sea wall along Shore Road in Setauket by removing the concrete slabs that were used in the past to construct the wall. He added that the concrete released chemicals into the water, which further affected the water quality. Town officials said they intended to continue the study across multiple seasons, especially in the winter months, when people use fewer fertilizers and when less wild and domestic animals are out and about. Setauket Harbor and Mount Sinai Harbor, which includes Cedar Beach, are two of several impacted waterways on the Island. According to Romaine, Moriches Bay and the Great South Bay are also impacted. “I’m greatly concerned because each year the waterways surrounding Brookhaven Town and Long Island have been declining,” Romaine said. “Many of our harbors and parts of out tributaries are considered impaired.” Neither the town nor the highway department will know how much cleaning

The Town of Brookhaven and Highway Department are examining the sources of setauket Harbor’s poor water quality through an extensive study by Cornell Cooperative extension.

Setauket Harbor’s waters will cost until after Cornell Cooperative Extension conducts its study, Romaine said. The hope is that they will identify the sources of contamination before the town’s 2017 budget is approved. The town isn’t only working with Losquadro, but also with members of the Setauket Harbor Task force led by George Hoffman, Moriches Bay Project and Friends of Bellport Bay.

Romaine also added that those who settled on the Island would not be impressed with Long Island’s declining water quality. “The town was founded in 1655 [and] it was Setauket Harbor that the settlers ... came to start the first European settlement in Brookhaven Town,” Romaine said. “I’m sure if they were here today, they would weep at the fact that the waters are so impaired — you can’t eat any of the shellfish from the water.”

Stony Brook landscaper convicted for wage theft

stony Brook landscape business owner richard orvieto, below, is convicted of wage theft. By Phil Corso

144772

The owner of a Stony Brook landscaping company was convicted and sentenced for failing to pay full wages to workers and gaming the state unemployment insurance system, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said. Richard Orvieto, owner of Double “O” Landscaping Inc., previously pleaded guilty to failing to pay his employees overtime, refusing to pay them owed wages after firing them and defrauding the state unemployment insurance system by paying workers in cash and not reporting their wages on quarterly tax filings, Schneiderman said. He was sentenced last week to pay restitution of $13,032 to three former employees and an additional $19,856.64 to the state Department of Labor. He must also pay a mandatory fine under state labor law, will be on probation for three years and must complete 50 hours of community service, Schneiderman said. “It doesn’t matter if you own a restaurant or a landscaping company — you must pay your workers the money they are owed and pay them on the books,” Schneiderman said in a statement. “My office will continue to crack down on wage theft and return earnings that rightfully belong to workers.”

Orvieto’s defense attorney, Paul Kalker of Hauppauge, was unavailable for comment. Based in Stony Brook, Double “O” Landscaping has provided landscaping and light construction services across Long Island. Between Aug. 24, 2011, and Jan. 31, 2014, Orvieto hired workers to perform those services, but did not pay them overtime for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week, the attorney general said. He also paid his workers in cash off the books, and did not report or pay unemployment insurance contributions for these wages to the state, Schneiderman added. The attorney general said that in 2013 Orvieto fired three workers and never paid them for their last week of work. The business owner pleaded guilty to failure to pay wages under the state labor law, a misdemeanor; and Double “O” Landscaping pleaded guilty to falsifying business records in the first degree, a class E felony. State law requires that employers pay wages no later than seven days after the end of the week when the wages were earned. Employers must also pay one and a half times the workers’ regular rate of pay for any hours worked beyond 40 per workweek. A first offense failure to pay wages is a misdemeanor, while a second offense within five years is a felony.

Three Village congregation celebrates 50 years By Giselle Barkley

In 1965, a small group of families placed a notice in The Village Times Herald to encourage interested residents to join the new Reform Jewish Congregation. Two years later, the congregation transitioned from working out of the Setauket Neighborhood House to working at its new building, Temple Isaiah in Stony Brook. Fifty years later, the building, its workers and congregants celebrated the Temple’s 50th from Friday Oct. 23 to Sunday Oct. 25. The festivities started with a potluck dinner at sundown as well as a special service. Alan Goodis served as the entertainment during the celebration. The weekend also included a dessert reception and a Golden Gala. But the celebration isn’t only about celebrating another year older but also about celebrating the Temple’s founders, taking a stroll down memory lane and acknowledging the Temple beyond the celebration for the Temple’s 50th year. “It’s really about what we do all year long and how we behave,” Rabbi Sharon Sobel said about the Temple. In the past 50 years, the Temple established a food pantry had food and blood drives and helped give back to the community with events like Mitzvah Day, which former Board of Trustees President Iris Schiff described as a day where members

of the Temple do a good deed for members of the community. In the past, congregates and individuals who work at the Temple helped build a kitchen on the Shinnecock Reservation according to Schiff. Schiff also said the Temple held a special Mitzvah Day for the adults with disabilities who visit the Temple once or twice a week to help organize the food pantry, file documents, polish areas of the Temple’s sanctuary. According to Schiff these individuals are called “interns” at the Temple. Sobel, who has served as the Temple’s rabbi since last year, made the suggestion to hold a Mitzvah Day in honor of their “interns.” Not only do they help the Temple, but also some of these interns gained enough experience helping the institution that they have acquired stable jobs themselves. According to Schiff, who joined the Temple in 1975, the day was a special moment for the parents of these “interns.” “Their parents were crying because... it was the first time ever...their children were honored for being terrific and for helping,” Schiff said. “They had never been acknowledged before because they are people with disabilities.” The “interns” and the individuals at the Shinnecock Reservation aren’t the only people the Temple helped or intend to help on the Island. Mitzvah day is an

annual event for the Temple. This year, the Temple held its 15th Mitzvah Day on Sunday, May 17. Next year, the Temple is holding the event on May 16. Schiff also added that people in the community who are not necessarily part of the Temple are also recognizing the Temple as an important part of the community. Several business donated money to the Temple in celebration of its 50th year — the money,

as well as other donations and money acquired from the membership fee, helps the Temple stay afloat. Schiff mentioned there’s been a drop in church attendance regardless of the religion. Sobel added that currently the Temple has 330 units — families, couples and singles — who are members of the Temple. She added that former members TEMPLE continued on page A12

It was hard to learn, but we worked hard.” Their hard work paid off when the PJ Dragons won the race by nine-tenths of a second — a photo finish.

Citing recent bacteriological surveys, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced emergency regulations to change the designation of underwater shellfish lands in Suffolk county. Shellfish harvesting will be closed or limited to particular months in approximately 1,844 acres of bays and harbors in Brookhaven, Huntington, Islip, Smithtown, Riverhead, Southampton, Southold, East Hampton and Oyster Bay, to comply with state and national standards to protect public health. Through the National Shellfish Sanitation Program, states are required to conduct routine water quality sampling in shellfish harvesting areas. Failure by a state to comply with these national water quality-monitoring protocols could lead to a prohibition of the sale of shellfish products in interstate commerce. The DEC’s analyses of water quality in these areas showed increased levels of fecal coliform bacteria. The increased bacteria indicates that shellfish harvested from these areas have the potential to cause human illness if consumed. Bacteria can enter the waters from a variety of human, animal, cesspool and storm water sources. The DEC is working with local governments in Suffolk County on major projects to improve water quality in the region, an effort that will reduce discharges of bacteria and nitrogen. The DEC will work with partners to track down the bacteria sources and oversee mandated local efforts to address illicit discharges of sewage into storm sewer systems, while also continuing to evaluate sources of bacteria in an effort to resolve the issue. The DEC’s emergency regulations will change the designation of the affected shellfish areas to “uncertified,” or closed, for the harvest of clams, mussels, oysters and scal-

lops, either year-round or seasonally. In Mount Sinai Harbor in Brookhaven Town, approximately 200 acres will be reclassified as closed for the harvest of shellfish during the period May 1 to Oct. 31. In Stony Brook Harbor, approximately 300 acres shall be reclassified as closed from May 15 through Oct. 31, to closed instead from May 1 through Dec. 31, for the harvest of shellfish. In Cold Spring Harbor, approximately 99 acres shall be designated as closed during from May 1 through Oct. 15, for the harvest of shellfish. For more information about shellfish safety and New York’s role in the National Shellfish Sanitation Program, visit the DEC’s website. The emergency regulations adopting the changes are effective immediately. Additional information may also be obtained by contacting the DEC’s Shellfisheries office at (631) 444-0492.

Three Village gets financial news, moves on social studies BY AndreA Moore PAldY

An independent auditor has given Three Village School District a clean financial bill of health. The pronouncement at a recent meeting came from Dave Spara, of Toski & Co., who said the district’s financial position is “sound” as a result of “prudent and judicious budgeting.” In his report, Spara said that at the close of the last fiscal year, the district held $20 million in its fund balance — an amount he called “adequate” for a school district. About $10 million of the fund balance is in reserves, which Spara said is “good, not overboard and not low.” He added that it complies with state regulations for the amount of money a district can hold in its fund balance — no more than 4 percent of the next year’s budget. The district’s reserves are basically enough to get the district, which spends approximately $1 million a day, through a week, he said. “That’s something that we’ve tried to do over the years,” said Jeff Carlson, assistant superintendent for business services. “Keep a modest amount that will cover us in the event of some emergency, but not too much.” Last year, the district drew down $600,000 from its balance, not a large sum for a budget of a little more than

TBR

$180 million, Spara said. In other financial matters, Carlson clarified that $17,554 — stated in a previous district report as the amount spent per student —was a number generated by the state to express “instructional spending per pupil.” The figure does not include expenses in other areas, such as busing, construction or other projects, he said. It would be more accurate, Carlson said, to divide the district’s total spending per year by its enrollment. Based on the current enrollment, the average spending per pupil would be closer to $29,000, he said. Taking numbers from the 2014-15 school year for Long Island school districts, Carlson said the average spending per student was $26,402. Sixty of the 124 districts on the Island fall within 10 percent — either above or below — of the average. Forty-three districts are above the 10 percent average and 24 are below, he said.

Social Studies

In other news, Three Village also announced plans to forge ahead with an updated social studies curriculum in all grades. Despite the attention on “testing subjects” — English language arts (ELA) and math — social studies is getting attention in Three Village, district officials said. “This, right now, is the time for social

At the elementary level, the third grade will now be exposed to the culture, religions and politics of China. “We want to give students the same opportunities here that other students are getting around the world,” Gold said. Fifth grade students will focus on the Western Hemisphere, Latin American studies and North America, while doing comparative analysis. At the junior high level, Gold said, so-

cial studies teachers will work toward more differentiation between the Regents level and honors level social studies classes, so that honors courses are “more rigorous.” The current eight graders will be the first to take the new global history and geography Regents exams in 10th and 11th grades. AP U.S. and World History curricula and exams will also be undergoing change. “We are way ahead of the curve statewide for getting kids and teachers so prepared for what’s to come,” Gold said.

ELECTION Continued from page A1

Brookhaven, Smithtown and Huntington towns won re-election, one of them by a razor-thin margin: Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), who represents the 6th District, was leading her challenger by just one vote after the polls closed. It was not immediately clear if absentee ballots would tilt the scales in the favor of Republican candidate Steve Tricarico, a Brookhaven Town deputy highway superintendent. But Anker said Tuesday night that she felt “cautiously optimistic.” Tricarico felt more positive. “I’m feeling very confident,” he said before results were in. “This shows … that people are looking for a change. That’s what I’ve been offering.” According to Tricarico, Republican absentee ballots outnumbered those of the Democrats, which he said boosts his confidence. But Suffolk County Democratic Party Chairman Rich Schaffer was calling it in the other direction: “Sarah Anker — mark my words — in about two weeks will be a newly reelected legislator.” Anker said her election demonstrates that each vote counts. Asked what could have led to such a close race, the legislator said she’s got the political cards stacked against her as a Democrat representing a largely Republican district. “Most political strategists have never understood how I won it the past three times, much less this fourth time,” she said. “But I feel it’s because the people appreciate what I do. They’re looking for leadership.” From there, it was smooth sailing. Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), the 5th District legislator, beat Republican challenger Donna Cumella, of Port Jefferson Station, with 63 percent of the vote. In the 13th, Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) beat Kings Park Democrat Rich Macellaro with more than 70 percent of the total. Despite her loss, Cumella stayed positive and said she wouldn’t let this year’s election deter her from running for the same position in the future. She said she is now “a little bit more educated with the political arena.” About her victory over that Republican, Hahn said, “I’m really gratified

come back for special events like the Temple’s anniversaries among other events. Despite this, members of the Temple remain excited and pleased about their accomplishments. “We’re excited [for the 50th anniversary celebration] because we feel proud of what the Temple has done all through the years and what it represents in the com-

by the confidence the community has shown in me and I very much appreciate it and I plan to work just as hard as I’ve worked in the last four years.” Brookhaven Town saw its supervisor, Ed Romaine (R), and its highway superintendent, Dan Losquadro (R), re-elected easily — Romaine won 72 percent of the votes against Democratic challenger Douglas Dittko and Losquadro beat out his own Democratic opponent, Jason Kontzamanys, with 69 percent of the voters’ support. Romaine called his landslide victory “encouraging” and Losquadro said, “I really feel that this is a validation of the work that we’ve been doing in the town.” “It’s such a big department and, really, for the fundamental services that people expect from their tax dollars are that their roads are safe, cleared of snow and debris, and I’m very excited to be given the opportunity to continue to do that work.” The three incumbents running for re-election to the Brookhaven Town Board on the North Shore were returned to their seats. Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) beat Republican challenger Ed Garboski, the president of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association. She had 56 percent of the vote to his 44 percent. “I worked really hard,” she said Tuesday night. “The community came together.” She has no small task ahead of her. If all of the election results stand, she will be the only Democrat on the Town Board next year, after her effectively unopposed North Shore colleagues Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) and Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden) won re-election, as did South Shore Republican Councilmen Dan Panico and Neil Foley. But Cartright’s lone Democratic colleague, Councilwoman Connie Kepert (D-Middle Island), was ousted by Republican challenger Michael Loguercio Jr. “I’m kind of speechless, which isn’t normally the case for me,” Bonner said about winning by a large margin. “I’m super, super excited to get started, move forward. I can’t wait to get to work tomorrow.” Rohma Abbas, Giselle Barkley, Phil Corso, Victoria Espinoza, Desirée Keegan, Kevin Redding and Eric Santiago contributed reporting. munity,” Sobel said. Regardless of attendance and the changes in rabbis in the past 50 years, Schiff added that the Temple has remained the same. “What hasn’t changed is this organization. We have congregants who are genuine. They come here with really good caring hearts,” Schiff said. “To me that is what religion should really be about — doing unto others. If everybody lived by that golden rule, this [world] would be a wonderful place.”

NYS Assembly Speaker is ‘Distinguished’ Stony Brook University’s Homecoming was not just about football this year. Though 11,000 people turned out to watch the game, at halftime they learned the identities of the university’s newest distinguished alumni: New York State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory General Counsel Charles S. Ryan, J.D., Ph.D., both from the class of 1990. Elected to office in 2000, Heastie became New York’s first African American Assembly speaker in February. As a representative of the 83rd District in the Bronx, Heastie was the prime sponsor of the Wage Theft Prevention Act, which enacted harsher penalties for employers who steal wages from employees. Most recently, he served as the chairman of the Assembly Labor Committee. Prior to joining the state Assembly, Heastie was a budget analyst in the New York City Comptroller’s office, using skills he honed while earning his bachelor’s in applied mathematics and statistics from Stony Brook and his master’s in finance from Baruch College. “It is an honor and a privilege to receive the Distinguished Alumni Award,” Heastie said. “The lessons I learned at Stony Brook have carried me through

the halls of the New York State Assembly. I am grateful to the university and its alumni for being a constant source of support. I made lifelong friends here and I am so proud to be a Seawolf.” Many at Stony Brook remember him fondly and remain proud of his accomplishments. “He is an example that most things are possible when a person of color receives a good education, walks through doors that are barely open and insists on sitting at the head of the table,” said Frances Brisbane, Ph.D., a vice president in the Office of Faculty, Staff and Student Diversity.

OPINION

EdiTOriAL

There are lessons on Election Day 2015

Our government was designed to have some give-and-take. We have a mostly two-party system and two houses of Congress because the parties and the houses ideally check each other. The house ensures proportional representation based upon population while the Senate, with each state getting two votes, makes sure the little guy can be heard even in a room of big guys. And the republicans and the democrats, in a wellbalanced Congress, keep each other on their toes. That’s why the spread between republicans and democrats in our North Shore legislative bodies makes us uncomfortable. in Suffolk County, we have a large majority of democrats in the Legislature, and the same imbalance exists on the huntington Town Board. in Brookhaven and Smithtown towns, the republicans have the overwhelming majority. That disproportion will be worse come January, when Councilwoman Valerie Cartright will be the only democrat on the seven-member Brookhaven Town Board. her lone colleague on the left, Councilwoman Connie Kepert, was ousted by a republican on Election day. One of the reasons our newspaper endorsed Cartright was our desire to preserve the democratic minority on the board. This wasn’t because we particularly dislike any of the republican board members or think they are irresponsible, but our government was designed to have shared control, to bring multiple viewpoints. differing opinions foster compromise and prevent leaders from having absolute power to enact whatever laws they wish. A minority party is a watchdog. Similarly, we endorsed Councilman Gene Cook for re-election in huntington in part because he is the only non-democratic member, and in that role he keeps the others in check. he will remain in such a position next year. We hope our majority party leaders, from the Suffolk County Legislature to the town boards, keep in mind that even though they may not agree with minority colleagues, those people serve an important purpose — and we hope they will do their best to reach across the aisle, even though they don’t really have to.

It’s not just lip service

We hear it all the time: Every vote counts. And if you want proof, look at the North Shore. With just one vote in the lead, Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (d-Mount Sinai) stood beside a triumphant group of democrats on Election day and timidly celebrated. Suffolk County democratic Chairman rich Schaffer joked she won by a “landslide.” Anker fought a tough battle against republican Steve Tricarico, a Brookhaven Town deputy highway superintendent, and the fight isn’t over — it could be a while before absentee ballot counts are finalized and an official winner is declared. The vote was 5,859 to 5,858 — it could have been Anker’s own vote for herself that kept her head just barely above water. Our paper has editorialized about voter turnout in the past, usually after Election day. But it’s virtually unheard of to have two candidates separated by just one vote. So once again, we implore you, go out and vote at election time. Every vote does count.

The now-empty King Kullen store in East Setauket.

Outside the box TO ThE EdiTOr: What shall we do with the space formerly occupied by King Kullen and previously Swezey’s department Store in East Setauket? Clearly, we do not need any more of what we already have. in our beautiful, historic Three Village community, we have enough retail stores, office space and conventional dining choices. Let’s think outside the box. We have a community of creative, artistic, intelligent, socially and environmentally conscious individuals. recently i travelled to Asheville, N.C., and Burlington, Vt., both places which have arts districts. These cities have individual studios that cooperatively occupy larger spaces; artists work on their crafts and offer instruction to outsiders. Let’s look into the maker phenomenon occurring: People are taking

pride in their creations, whether at an Etsy shop on Pinterest or at our new local farmers market. i wonder if we can think more about the community, including the older and younger folk? Can we create a place where people can come together and exchange ideas? Can we have language exchange hours or tech learning hours? Setauket and Port Jefferson libraries are wonderful. Can we create a space that can additionally offer something to those who would benefit from more interaction with others? if our teens are gathering with other teens for a purpose, can we keep them out of the current ill trends plaguing them? Can we find a way to include animals in this equation? We hear about Pug Meetup groups and cat cafés. You may have read about the Lowline underground solar-powered green space in Manhattan’s

Lower East Side, projected to be available for public enjoyment in 2020. The Three Village community and our surrounding communities enjoy spending time in our current choices of open spaces, whether it is Port Jeff harbor, Avalon Park & Preserve, Frank Melville Park, Trustees road at West Meadow Beach and more. Would we as a community benefit from another green space, perhaps something interactive or innovative? i pose these questions and look for ideas that may be generated as a result. i don’t have answers; i just have a feeling that there are opportunities for something special. What shall we do with the space located at 1375 route 25A in the Three Village Shopping Center in East Setauket? Stephanie Templeton East Setauket

From Red Planet suspense to Cold War chill

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

ovember movies are a reminder of what the medium of film can be. My wife and I recently saw “The Martian” and “Bridge of Spies.” These two new films offer viewers a chance to think, instead of just reacting to exploding robots or people with sudden super powers.

“The Martian,” starring Matt Damon, is about how astronaut Mark Watney, who is stuck on Mars, tries to communicate with people worlds away and to survive until a rescue mission can return for him. Oh, come on, people if you’ve seen even one preview, you know that much. Anyway, Damon doesn’t spend the entire movie flexing his muscles, shooting guns and running away from would-be assassins — he reserves those actions for the series of Bourne films. He figures out how to use the limited resources on Mars to survive. While it’s difficult to blend the possibilities of real science with an explanation of what he’s doing to an audience that might not follow everything, the film does an excellent job keeping up the suspense while giving us a Martian MacGyver. Damon’s portrayal, and the reaction of his body to an extended stay alone on Mars, is compelling. At one point, he describes how he

has to ration his food, going from eating three meals a day to eating one meal every three days. By flipping back and forth from Earth to an Ares capsule to Mars, the movie keeps the action, suspense and drama going without turning the movie into a one-man show. The scenes with the staff at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were especially satisfying, offering a look at some of the ways the hardworking analysts, engineers and scientists on Earth make it possible for humans — and satellites — to perform extraordinary tasks. The scene shifts from the work Watney is doing on Mars to the tireless efforts of the JPL staff make it clear how much science like this is a team effort. As an aside, several scientists on Long Island have worked at a range of NASA facilities, developing technology for use on Mars rovers or working to understand the effects of extended exposure to radiation on the human body.

Meanwhile back in the late 1950s in “Bridge of Spies,” Brooklyn lawyer Jim Donovan, played by Tom Hanks, is assigned the unenviable task of defending Russian spy Rudolf Abel. The film captures the clash of duty to our country that surged through the ranks of attorneys, police officers and judges, with a duty to our Constitution which had — and often still has — a much more challenging set of rules to follow. Donovan takes risks by defending Abel. The movie doesn’t address what secrets Abel might have been revealing, and it doesn’t need to. What it does offer, however, is a compassionate look at a soldier in a war for information during a period of heightened tension between two countries capable of destroying the world. Portraying Abel, Mark Rylance, a stage actor who was won three Tony Awards, steals the movie. His subtle and nuanced

Two new films offer viewers a chance to think. portrayal of Abel as a prisoner of war is captivating. The audience can see how Donovan might have made the transition from doing his duty and ensuring a legal defense for this spy to feeling a greater responsibility for a man who was a devoted soldier, albeit in a war against his own country. The characters, performances and situations in “The Martian” and “Bridge of Spies” stay with the viewers well after walking out of the theaters. Too bad Oscar voting season doesn’t come more often in a year. Daniel Dunaief’s recent book, “The Other Parent,” may be purchased online from www.tbrnewsmedia.com/ebooks.

Horror has its continued fascination

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

here is a fascination with stories about the Holocaust. Maybe it has to do with trying to understand pure evil. Maybe it is an exploration of the depths of man’s inhumanity toward man. Maybe it’s a terror that could happen again, to anyone who is somehow chosen to be a victim, and that could be any one of us. And just when one thinks, “Enough, I don’t have to read or see any more of these stories,” another one comes along, bringing its own compelling detail — and

the fascination continues. Elsewhere in this newspaper, in the Arts & Lifestyles section, there is an article about a film, recently shown at Suffolk County Community College, telling the story of a different Holocaust survivor. I’m writing today about Thomas Blatt, who died this past Tuesday at the age of 88, and who was one of those escapees from the Sobibor extermination camp after a massive revolt by the prisoners. I had never heard of this particular death camp, nor of an uprising there, and so I read his obit with interest. Blatt was 15 and his brother just 10 when they were taken from their largely Jewish village in the Lublin district of Poland, along with their parents and neighbors, and put into a ghetto by the Nazis in 1942. From there, they were deported to Sobibor, where Blatt’s family was gassed immediately after arrival. For some reason, Thomas, who was fair and blue-eyed, was pulled out of line by one of the guards and given odd jobs to do, thus being spared his fam-

ily’s fate. His jobs included fixing fences, burning documents, cutting the hair of women before they were herded into the gas chambers and sorting the victims’ belongings. “I recognized my mother’s clothes and I realized my parents were no longer alive,” Blatt said. Six months after he arrived, there was an uprising and mass escape from the camp, with some 300 prisoners running for their lives. Only some 60 managed to survive the war, including Blatt; the other escapees were hunted down and executed by the Nazis. There had been about 150 Ukrainian guards and 15 German SS officers at the camp, and many of them were killed in the escape. The site was knocked down and bulldozed by the Germans, who were trying to hide the death camp and the event. Blatt hid for almost a year until the advancing Russian troops pushed back the German army from Poland, despite having been shot in the jaw by a Polish farmer during the escape. Blatt eventually emigrated to Israel in 1958 and the United States a year later, ultimately

settling in Santa Barbara, Calif., where he lived with his family and owned three electronics stores. Years after he had arrived in America, he was asked to testify at the trial of alleged camp guard, John Demjanjuk, a retired autoworker who had been living in Ohio. Blatt wasn’t able to identify the accused, but he became a prominent witness for the prosecution with his many details about the brutality unleashed on the prisoners by all the Ukrainian guards. Demjanjuk was found guilty but died before his appeal could be heard. “I never escaped from Sobibor,” Blatt said. “I’m still there — in my dreams and in everything. My point of reference is always Sobibor.” Described as “quiet and modest,” by a longtime friend, “Blatt suffered from recurrent nightmares and depression, and said, “Witnessing genocide is overwhelming; writing about it is soul shattering.” But according to his friend, he never harbored malice toward the Germans, the Ukrainians or those Poles LEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz

who were anti-Semitic in his lifetime. He urged others to do the same. He worked tirelessly, traveling back and forth to Poland, to preserve the site of one of the few uprisings by Jewish inmates against Nazi guards during World War II. Blatt was haunted by regret all his life for the last words he said to his mother just before they were separated at the death camp. “And you didn’t let me drink all the milk yesterday. You wanted to save some for today.” He fervently wished he could have instead hugged her and told her how much he loved her. Blatt, who wrote two books on the horrors of Sobibor, is survived by his three children, six grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren.
