Thousands Attend Back the Blue Rally in Hauppauge BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The H. Lee Dennison Building lawn in Hauppauge was a sea of flags Oct. 4 as participants showed support for law enforcement officers across the state. A few thousand people gathered around the war monuments in front of the Suffolk County building waving American, thin blue line and Trump 2020 flags at the “Back the Blue” rally organized by law enforcement associations and unions representing more than 80,000 law enforcement officers from the New York metropolitan region. Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association President Noel DiGerolamo, Nassau County Police Benevolent Association President James McDermott, New York City Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch, U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-NY2), family members of fallen officers and more were on hand to address the crowd during the two-hour rally. Genesis Familia Villella, of the Bronx, was one of the first speakers and was visibly emotional. Her mother, New York Police Department Detective Miosotis Familia, was killed July 5, 2017, by a gunman while she sat in her mobile police command post in the Bronx. The 12-year veteran was 48 years old. “Ever since that night, my life has been somewhat of a living nightmare,” the daughter said. “My mother was targeted for her blue uniform that she proudly wore for over a decade.” The daughter remembered the last time she saw her mother alive when she asked her for another hug before saying goodbye. She said after her mother’s murder she has helped raise her younger brother and sister. Officers like her mother at times sacrifice time with their families to protect all New Yorkers, she said, and she wanted to remind everyone that police officers are “human beings with families and loved ones

who need them to come home, just like I needed my mom to come home to me that night.” Kathy Vigiano, president of Survivors of the Shield, an advocate group for fallen police officers’ widows and children, had a plea for the press to report the “real numbers” regarding crime. Vigiano is a retired police officer and the widow of Joseph Vigiano, a police officer who died in the line of duty on 9/11. “How many times do police officers put their lives on the line to take illegal guns off the street?” she asked. “New York City police officers took 607 guns off the street in the month of September alone without incident.” She said officers put their lives in danger every time they stop someone. “He doesn’t know who he’s stopping,” Vigiano said. “He doesn’t know when he pulls you over for a broken light who you are, but we all know who he is. It’s his job to ensure our safety. It’s his job to come home to his family. To the criminals I say, ‘How dare you? How dare you put his life in danger resisting whether passively or violently.’” According to a press release from Suffolk PBA, crime is up in the state. It cites national numbers as of mid-July where the number of cops killed in the line of duty was 32, an increase of 28% compared to the previous year’s numbers. It also cites the murder rate in New York City which was up by 50% in August, according to NYPD data. “The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has surged 28% nationally, as anti-police rhetoric, protesting and riots continue across the nation,” the local PBA said in the release. During the rally, attendees would sporadically chant, “Back the blue,” and play sirens and blow horns, while drivers passing by on Veterans Highway could be heard honking and shouting words of encouragement. — Photos by Steven Zaitz.

Long Island Catering Halls Rally for 50% Capacity BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Brides, business owners and elected officials all stood together outside the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge Oct. 2 begging Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to increase the capacity of events like weddings, Sweet 16s and other catered parties. Right now, restaurants have been allowed to operate at a 50% capacity, while catering venues are still capped at just 50 people. Those at the rally said desperate families, who have waited their whole lives to celebrate their special day, are more likely to host events elsewhere, instead of safely inside their chosen venue. “These events haven’t stopped, these events moved,” said Gennaro Tallarico, manager of The Inn at Fox Hollow in Woodbury. “They moved into people’s homes, to their backyards. They moved into event spaces where they don’t have liquor licenses and who are not afraid to open up and break the rules. … By limiting us, it’s creating a more dangerous situation.” Kiran Wadhwa and Indu Kaur of Port Jefferson Station’s The Meadow Club also showed their support, especially since their venue has three separate ballrooms. After having to close due to a fire in 2018, the club has been under renovation for more than two years, and then had to delay its reopening because of the pandemic. “Not being able to open at 50% capacity

would be devasting to our family business,” Wadhwa said. “We need to be able to recover the loss of two years of income, and we won’t be able to break even with 50-person events.” Friday’s event was headed by Riverhead Town Councilwoman Jodi Giglio (R), who is also a candidate for New York State Assembly. She said the current 50-person limit these events are allowed is detrimental to not only anxious brides and grooms, but to the Long Island economy. “Facilities with the capacity for 300, 500 and 700 guests are being forced to operate as if they were all the same size,” Giglio said. “They are going bankrupt and need to feed their families. We need the governor to let them safely serve their customers, put their employees back to

work and pay their bills.” Caterers across the state have filed a classaction lawsuit against Cuomo saying their businesses can be just as safe, if not safer. They argue that with many venues being able to hold more than 300 people, a 50% cap would still allow social distancing, with guests still being able to celebrate. With the wedding industry on Long Island generating an estimated $6 million a year in sales tax, according to a representative from Scotto Brothers, as well as being one of the state’s largest employers, no one has made a profit this year thanks to COVID-19, and many businesses are on the brink of closure. “An industry that is supposed to be happy

is losing hope,” Giglio said. “It’s crushing the dreams of a fairytale wedding. … All of our local businesses have suffered. Our message to the governor is we can do this safely, we can adjust — and flexibility is a must.” Along with the maximum-person cap, mingling and dancing are also prohibited under the state’s executive order. Heather Cunningham, founder of the website and online-based bridal group Brides of Long Island, said she is just seeking fairness. “I’m not asking for a packed dance floor,” she said. “I’m asking for that moment where a father can dance with his little girl.” “We need to look at things differently,” Suffolk County Legislator Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst) said at the event. “They are responsible business owners. They know how to keep their customers safe.” John Salkowsky, owner of Lindenhurst-based Silverfox, said that “catering halls are the heart and soul of our community.” Businesses, like his photography and videography service, then follow. “I hope this shines a bright light,” he said. “I hope this makes a change.” The general feeling among owners is if things continue this way, many of them might have to close for good. “We hope Governor Cuomo has heard our industry’s plea because we are suffering and cannot go on like this for any longer,” Wadhwa said.

Suozzi, Theater, Restaurant Owners Urge Senate to Pass Heroes Act 2.0 BY JULIANNE MOSHER JULIANNE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY3) stood alongside owners and directors of some of Long Island’s live entertainment venues and restaurants, urging the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate to vote on and pass the Heroes Act 2.0. On Monday, Oct. 5, Suozzi visited The Paramount theater in Huntington begging the federal government to “Save Our Stages” with the new Heroes Act, which would provide billions in grants to save struggling industries hit hardest by the pandemic. The Heroes Act 2.0 would also provide essential state and local aid, SALT deduction, testing, unemployment insurance, $1,200 stimulus checks and other provisions to move the country forward, according to the congressman. It would provide direct relief to the live entertainment industry, as well as the restaurant and catering hall industries. “On March 22, nonessential businesses in New York shut down,” Suozzi said. “The reopening and recovery of businesses has

been uneven. Independently owned live entertainment venues, as well as musicians, actors, comedians, promoters, stagehands and the local restaurants that count on the business that these venues bring in, have been financially devastated by the pandemic.” The Democratic-controlled House has already passed the COVID-19 relief package, including two provisions that would provide direct relief to the hospitality industry. The first provision, the Save Our Stages Act, would provide $10 billion in assistance to live entertainment venues. The second provision, the Restaurants Act, would create a $120 billion grant program for the restaurant and service industry. “We are urging the Senate to act on this legislation now,” Suozzi said. “If not, many of our beloved venues might not survive. We can’t let the music die.” Kevin O’Neill, owner of the John W. Engeman Theater in Northport, said his venue, like many others, had to close in March. But unlike other industries who were able to make some revenue during the shutdown, live

entertainment venues were unable to make any profit since their doors had to shut. “Our industry has been decremented,” he said. “A theater can’t do takeout. We’re hoping the Senate comes to a compromise for the stimulus package to provide relief to live venues.” Everyone at Monday’s gathering agreed that theaters help bring money back into the community. “Remember every $1 spent on a ticket is worth $12 to other businesses in the local community,” said Adam Ellis, director of marketing at The Paramount. “Music and entertainment can act as a beacon of light and hope during these tough times. Hesitating is not an option — without the legislation an entire American industry that benefits millions is in imminent jeopardy.” The local hospitality and entertainment industry lost 82,000 jobs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a study released in July by Nassau and Suffolk counties on the economic impacts of the virus. This is more than any other industry on Long Island.

Wedding Industry Needs Vote for Facts Over Wishful Thinking Room to Recover

We weren’t surprised when business owners in the wedding industry held a press conference Oct. 2 to appeal to Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). For months, while restaurants have been able to operate at 50% capacity, reception locations can only allow 50 guests at an event. The 50-guest cap and arbitrary state guidelines have been concerns of several business owners in the wedding and party industry. These locals have shared their experiences with TBR News Media for articles in the last few months, and vendors weren’t quite sure what they could do or not do, as they have had little direct communication with the state. While we understand the need for Cuomo’s administration to keep gatherings down to a minimum, there needs to be more continuity and empathy in the guidelines. With the support of legislators, a class-action lawsuit is being filed by caterers. Business owners at the press conference said they feel they can provide a safer party than those being thrown in homes and backyards since they have more space to social distance and need to follow higher cleanliness standards. Owners said they realize following the guidelines is imperative for not only safety but to keep their licenses — something a homeowner doesn’t need to entertain. The business owners may have a chance. This summer a federal judge issued a temporary injunction to allow an upstate golf club to operate at 50% capacity for two weddings after the couples and co-owner of the club sued New York State. That owner said his restaurant had the capacity to seat 438 people, but while operating as a restaurant one night he could have more than 200 people, on a wedding night he could only have 50. This example may leave one wondering how a person visiting a restaurant could potentially be around more than 50 strangers, but cannot sit with more than 50 family members, friends and acquaintances at a party, especially since many wedding venues are committed to following current public health guidelines, including discouraging dancing. Like so many businesses, COVID-19 has had a tremendous negative financial effect on the wedding industry and many are hoping to get back on track or else they may have to close their doors forever. During the shutdowns, venues had no money coming in while still needing to pay rent and utility bills. This has had a trickle-down effect where photographers, videographers, DJs and bands are called for less work, and while bakeries may have made some wedding and other celebratory cakes, the orders are smaller in size than usual. If venues get their way, it’s imperative that owners and employees follow public-health guidelines such as 50% occupancy, social distancing, banning dancing and enforcing mask wearing when people are not seated. Seeing how restaurants in our coverage areas have been able to come up with creative ways to serve their patrons safely, including turning parking lots into outdoor dining areas, using tents — even small ones for individual parties — we believe wedding venue owners will do the same. Of course, keeping our local businesses open works both ways. It will take more than residents signing a petition to help these businesses stay afloat, it will also require people to follow public health guidelines. So, we implore individuals to be responsible as well. It’s up to all of us to stay 6 feet away from each other, wear a mask, wash our hands regularly and stay home when we are feeling ill. There’s a certain positive energy in the air when people come together to celebrate, and even if they can’t hug, kiss or show off their moves on the dance floor, we’re sure the majority will appreciate being there for their loved ones just as much as having dinner at their favorite restaurant.

We in Congressional District NY-1 have an important vote coming up, between incumbent Lee Zeldin [R] and Nancy Goroff [D]. Zeldin gets full points for his efforts on behalf of veterans and military families. On other subjects I find him disappointing and misleading. I waited in vain for Zeldin to join Republican colleagues in criticizing President Trump’s refusal to denounce white supremacy in the Sept. 29 debate. And while he has stated that the police officers responsible for the death of George Floyd acted wrongly, he shows no understanding that Black people die at the hands of law enforcement in heartbreaking, unconscionable numbers. Relatedly, Zeldin’s ads falsely link his opponent Nancy Goroff with violent protest (there is no record of her involvement in violent protest) and “defunding the police,” although Goroff

states on her website, “I do not support defunding the police.” A voiceover refers to her as a “radical scientist.” Is “scientist” here supposed to be scary? The accompanying photo shows her responsibly wearing personal protection equipment while presumably working with a hazardous substance. Fortunately, voters know not to get information on a candidate from the other side’s attack ads. Scientists work to understand our world. They develop ways to answer questions, double- and triple-check the answers, and submit their conclusions to peer review. Scientists are trained to look for the truth, even if they don’t like it. I fervently wish the president a quick and full recovery. At the same time, we need to face the fact that he has based policy and behavior on wishful thinking, not facts. In February he said COVID-19 would go away one day, “like a miracle.”

In March he said the virus would go away by Easter, and in September he told a rally the virus “affects virtually nobody.” Sadly, none of these statements were true. Meanwhile, Zeldin’s coronavirus information page makes no mention of the most basic scientific recommendations for all of us to avoid spreading COVID-19, masks and social distancing. You probably saw the photo of him flouting these guidelines, smiling in the packed maskless crowd in the VIP section of President Trump’s Tulsa rally — which Tulsa city officials link to a surge in infections. We need scientists to get out of this situation. President Trump, the First Lady, and his colleagues all depend on scientists to recover. We need leaders who listen to scientists. Who better than a scientist? Thankfully we can vote for Nancy Goroff. Teresa Dybvig Stony Brook

Finding an Accurate Reading of Voter Preference Vox Populi. Please leave your politics at the door. Enter with logic, math and honest opinions only. Thank you. The Constitution provides that the Senate shall have the power to accept or reject presidential appointees to the judicial branch. Former President Barack Obama [D], having 11 months remaining in office, was denied the process by the Republicans President Donald Trump [R], having a few weeks remaining in office, was approved by the Republicans to proceed with the process.

We have 100 senators, each with a six-year term. Unlike congresspeople, only one third of the senators are up for election in November. Majority Leader, Mitch McDonnell [R] explained, “Americans re-elected our majority in 2016 … because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary.” He went on to explain that the people voted and that their opinions must be honored. The fact is — if facts still matter — is

that the 30 Senators who are up for reelection were voted in six years ago, in 2014, two years before Trump’s election. So ask yourself this, if one truly wants to get the preferences of the voters, would one go back six years to see how the voters felt then, or go forward 30 days to see how the voters feel now? Which would be the most accurate and up to date reading of voter preference? Be honest. Bruce Stasiuk Setauket

History Books Will Not Be Kind to Us “Give me your tired, your poor” concluding with “your huddled masses yearning to breath free, / the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these

the homeless, tempest-tost to me, / I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” Do you think the 70,000 migrant children in U.S. detention centers will

appreciate what the Statue of Liberty stands for. History books will not be kind to us. Mary Stevenson Mount Sinai

Opinion Life On A Block With the Remodelers, the Revvers and the Adorables

e are one of the loudest families on the block, and there are only four of us when we’re all home. Well, ﬁve, if you count the dog, and you should deﬁnitely count the dog. Every so often, my dog gets on one of his benders where the entire neighborhood has to hear him. He races into the backyard and barks at shadows that my eyes, and the eyes of my son, who runs to the back door and turns on the D. None light, can’t see either. Every neighbor of the above presents his or her BY DANIEL DUNAIEF unique challenges to a block where we continue to spend a large percentage of our

time. There’s the guy who drives too fast. We all glare at him, but he doesn’t seem to notice. He probably can’t see us because he’s moving too quickly and exists in a different space-time continuum. Don’t you love a word like continuum that dares to have two “u’s” in a row? Then there’s the neighbor whose house is under constant construction. No matter what season, time of the month, or time of day, construction people are always there, digging, pulling, pushing, installing, removing, re-laying, resurfacing, ripping up, putting back down. Who needs all that continuous ﬁxing? I don’t even live in their house and I’m exhausted by the constant change. Sure, it’d be nice if that bulb above my wife’s head in our bedroom actually worked, but my arms are too short on the ladder and the bed is in the wrong place. I put my son on my shoulders and he reached up and turned, but the bulb and the ﬁxture kept spinning.

On the other side, we have a lovely neighbor who is so nice that even the people who frown at the bunnies and deer, which prance through our neighborhood as if they were responding to a cue from a Disney director, smile at her. Her smile and laughter seem like a starter’s gun, waiting for a small cue to explode to the surface. Anyway, the rest of her family is friendly enough, but doesn’t share her ebullience. They do, however, love their cars. The louder the sound, the more impressive the car, or so it seems. Their driveway hosts regular revving contests. Okay, how many columns have words with two consecutive “u’s” and two consecutive “v’s” in them? Revving continuum, anyone? Somehow, despite the constant cacophony from the driveway, their house attracts an abundance of magniﬁcent birds, even when they use the leaf blower to keep their immaculate backyard free of the few leaves with the temerity to fall on their property. Then there is the talker. She’s incredibly sweet, insightful and intelligent. The two

challenges are that the polite banter doesn’t seem to have a natural end, and she is so soft spoken that I ﬁnd myself nodding and raising my eyebrows, hoping I’m offering the proper response to questions I can’t hear. I can’t move closer to her because we react to people as if they were porcupines, with six foot quills. Then there are the adorables. These are the families that have young children who giggle, laugh and play, blissfully unfocused on the pandemic and thrilled that they are out on a bike or that they can identify a bird that passed overhead. They race each other on tiny bikes, ask me why I’m wearing the same sweatshirt again, and skip to the sound of music I can’t hear. They also see the nonstop trucks delivering materials to the construction house as a source of entertainment. One of our young neighbors was on her way to school on a recent morning. Her mother stopped her car and rolled down the window so she could tell me about Mrs. Cathy and Ms. Mary. Those happy adorables are the block winners.

blow from a policeman’s rubber truncheon when she was 16 and participating in a street demonstration in the 1920s as Nazis and Communists brawled. It was enough to cause her to sign up with the Communists, who were the only ones apparently willing to shed blood in fighting the Nazis. She was further seduced by their promise of a workers’ utopia. Her story, a “panoramic account of espionage from Weimar Germany through the Cold War is, above all, a woman’s story.” It is based on Sonya’s own journals, in which she captures “the stressful balancing act of spymaster, mother and lover of several men during the most dangerous decades of the 20th century. Like many supremely successful women, Sonya benefited from men underestimating her.” And by the way, the name, Sonya, means dormouse in Russian. Are you hooked yet? The scene shifts from Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists and Mao Zedong’s Communists to Japanese-occupied Manchuria, to the bucolic Cotswolds of England, where she lived during much of WWII as a housewife and mother. In

addition to caring for a husband (who was himself a lower level spy with no idea of his wife’s top level position) and two children, she managed spy drops and transmitted coded messages as an expert radio operator and in Morse code, all the while eluding the German, British and American secret services hunting for her. Without ever wearing a military uniform, she held the rank of colonel in the Soviet army. “Domesticity was the perfect cover,” according to reviewer Marton. Sonya was right up there at the top of intelligence gathering. She was the spymaster to pass along secrets about the atom bomb from brilliant German theoretical physicist Klaus Fuchs. Fuchs worked in Britain and Canada and ultimately at Los Alamos, and she was his handler, sending critical information to Stalin and the Soviet Union. Throughout the war, Fuchs played a seminal role in helping to develop the powerful new weapon. He ultimately confessed to the British to having spied for the Soviets and served a nine-year sentence there, then promptly emigrated to East Germany. The reviewer delights in descriptions of

the flat-footedness and sexism of the British secret services as revealed in the book. Only one member of British M15 “smelled a rat” regarding the Cotswolds “housewife,” another woman, Millicent Bagot. “But her less shrewd (male) colleagues prevented [Bagot] from bagging her prey.” Sonya was interrogated twice inconclusively in 1947 by British intelligence agents. Years later, she was dubbed by the media as “Stalin’s best spy.” Sonya too spent the Cold War years in East Germany, leaving England the day before Fuch’s trial began. He did eventually unmask her. And this is the part that tickles me the most. She became an author, assumed the pseudonym of Ruth Werner, and wrote knowingly about spy adventures. Her books became best sellers. She died in Berlin in 2000 at age 93. Almost all the spies she worked with were caught at some point, but she survived two intense decades, the 1940s and 50s. She led a fascinating life and was clearly exceptionally intelligent. The only pity is that she worked on the wrong side of history, believing in an ideology that was made up of lies.

Balancing a Life as Wife, Mother, Homemaker, Lover ... & Spy

or some reason, this book tickles me, maybe because of the ending. And maybe because I am always interested in how women manage to balance being a wife, mother, housekeeper and cook with a demanding job outside the home. I haven’t read the book yet, only the review, but that was enough to hook me. The book is, Agent Sonya, by Ben Macintyre, and yes, it is a spy story. The reviewer, Kati Marton, writing in the Book Review section of Between the Sunday New you and me York Times, calls BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF the author “John le Carre’s nonfiction counterpart.” The main character in the book, Sonya, is based on a real person, Ursula Kuczynski. Born in a prosperous, bourgeois German family, she suffered a
