Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) is partnering with Father Sean Gann, pastor of St. Joseph’s Church in Kings Park, to host a blood drive Aug. 23, from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. The drive will benefit the blood banks maintained by Long Island Blood Services, which provides blood to hospitals throughout Long Island. “Hospitals are always in need of blood supplies so it is important that if you can donate blood to do so because one pint of blood can help save three lives,” Trotta said. To be eligible to donate blood, a person must

be between the ages of 16 (with parental consent) and 75, weigh more than 110 pounds and not have had a tattoo in the last 12 months. All donors must have a valid photo ID. Individuals who have donated before are asked to bring their blood donor card. Each donor will receive a voucher for two free Mets tickets. For more information, call 631-854-3900. The drive will be held at Travis Hall – Lower Level, behind the church at 59 Church St., Kings Park.

Town of Smithtown officials gave their seal of approval to two developers to construct a total of 160 new apartments between two complexes. The town board voted unanimously Aug. 14 to approve site plans for two housing projects: a mixed-use development featuring 62 units at The Lofts at Maple & Main in Smithtown and a 92-unit complex by TDG Commack, LLC to be built on Jericho Turnpike. Smithtown Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) said he hopes the two projects will help provide much needed housing in the township. The Lofts at Maple & Main by East Hampton-based developer VEA 181st Realty Corp. will consist of four buildings on the site of the former Nassau Suffolk Lumber & Supply Company in Smithtown. A mixed-use, three-story building will be constructed facing Main Street consisting of approximately 9,400 square feet of retail space on the ground level divided into two storefronts. The second and third floors will each contain 13 residential units consisting of six one-bedroom apartments and seven two-bedroom apartments per floor. Set back behind the Main Street building, three additional three-story apartment buildings will have 12 apartments each, primarily two-bedroom units. “This will be the first opportunity for a young person, a young professional coming out of college that cannot afford to buy a single-family home on a half acre of property, to have an avenue to live in the business district,” Wehrheim said. “It puts them in walkable distance to restaurants, a railroad station and everything they really require.” The development will have six affordable workforce housing units constructed and rented out for below-market price, according to town planner Liam Trotta. The supervisor said he hopes the apartment complex will help push downtown revitalization. “It will have a positive effect on the local business community as well,” he said. “The people that go into those 62 units will frequent the businesses that are along Main Street.” The town board expressed it was “pleased” with the agreements struck with the developer during planning, such as agreeing to permit three-story buildings instead of the four stories initially requested. The developer, Salvatore DiCarlo, of VEA 181st could not be reached for comment by press time. Wehrheim said that DiCarlo still needs approval from Suffolk County’s Health Department for the on-site sewer treatment, which may take a few weeks, but construction will begin immediately afterward. The second garden apartment complex designed by TDG Commack was approved as a seven-building apartment complex along Jericho Turnpike, taking over the site of the Courtesy Inn. Each building will have two stories and, when completed, offer a mix of 48 one-bedroom and 44 two-bedroom units. There will be a community pool for residents. Similar to The Lofts at Maple & Main, the Commack housing development has proposed to build a sewer treatment plant into the site to handle all wastewater at the location. However, Trotta said as the developer did not exceed the maximum density for the site, it will not be required to designate units as affordable workplace housing.

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Town of Smithtown is bringing its municipal services into the mobile generation. Town officials launched an app Aug. 14 that allows residents to more easily access government functions such as town department websites and even emergency alerts from public safety. The app, designed by members of the Department of Public Safety, has been available for download since July through iPhone App Store for Apple devices or through Google Play Store on Android phones. “We’re in a mobile generation, everyone is on the go,” said John Gonzalez, 43, a communications technician in the Department of Public Safety who developed the app. “They can go to Facebook and look it up there, but to have it all at your fingertips is where everybody’s going now.” The Town of Smithtown Mobile App contains a menu of options that include a mobile-friendly version of the town’s website, links to all town departments in addition to the villages of Head of the Harbor, Village of the Branch and Nissequogue. Other tabs include social media posts from both the town itself and the Smithtown Animal Shelter relating to animal adoptions. It is designed to automatically update if any changes occur to town websites. The app also contains links to an up-to-date weather forecast in Smithtown, by-the-minute information on power outages from PSEG Long Island’s website and announcements regarding road closures and delays through the Notices tab. “This is a tremendous step in the transparency process and we’re so lucky to have the talent in house to develop an app that would normally be

a very costly process to design,” Supervisor Ed Wehrheim (R) said. “I am extremely grateful for our public safety communications department for taking the initiative and I am excited to hear from the residents after using this app.” Gonzalez said the original idea had been kicked around the public safety office, but department Chief John Valentine finally set him to the task of sitting down to work on it in March. Gonzalez thought it would take five to six months to develop, but he finished the project in only three. “I am so impressed with the finished product and I just hope the community feels the same way,” Valentine said. It did not cost the town money to release the app on Google Play Store. Town spokesperson Nicole Garguilo said that the town did not have to pay the usual fees for uploading an app because it was done as a government entity. Apple also made uploading an app free for government entities and nonprofits earlier this year. Gonzalez said he started coding at a young age and created his first program by age 9. After working at the video game company Acclaim Entertainment, which became defunct in 2004, he has kept up to date on current programming languages. He said that this type of app is great for residents who wish to stay updated while moving about the town. “If there are any emergency announcements, it is another tool for residents to use,” he said. “The more people that are on it the better. It has all this town information right at your fingertips.” Gonzalez said the public safety department has plans to continue updating the app. First on the list is allowing users to click on public safety notifications to bring them straight to the original location. Gonzalez expects to add more features in the future based on community feedback.

Kings Park’s business district

downtown Kings Park presented by Larisa Ortiz, urban planner and principal of Larisa Ortiz Associates, to the town board Jan. 25. “The municipal lots are inconvenient for restaurants,” reads the 62-page report. The Restaurant Row area, which includes several eateries such as Cafe Red and Relish, averages 4.7 parking spots per 1,000 square feet of retail space. This is less than the two other areas of Main Street — known as the “civic heart,” near the Kings Park library and Long Island Rail Road station, and “car-centric

retail,” which is centered around Tanzi Plaza and the Kings Park Plaza shopping center. Ortiz’s other suggestions for improving the current parking situation in the Kings Park downtown area included restriping several existing lots — such as Relish’s — to accommodate more spaces and increase their efficiency. In addition to Kings Park, Wehrheim said the town board has received a real estate appraisal of the Irish Viking pub in St. James and remains interested in purchasing it to create off-street parking for the Lake Avenue business district.

BY SARA-MEGAN WALSH SARA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A Smithtown auto body shop has been ordered to pay $185,000 in back wages to its employees plus damages for violating federal labor laws regarding overtime pay. The U.S. Department of Labor announced Aug. 14 that it obtained a judgment against Paul Joseph Dill and Paul Jeremy Dill, the two owners of Bi-County Auto Body, ordering them to pay $185,000 in back wages plus an equal amount in damages to 49 employees, plus $30,000 in civil penalties, for violating the Fair Labor Standards Act. “The employer engaged in an unlawful practice to deny employees the overtime wages they had legally earned and to conceal their failure to pay for those hours,” said Irv Miljoner, Long Island director of U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hours Division. “The resolution of this case demonstrates our commitment to those workers, and to leveling the playing field for employees who play by the rules.” From July 2014 to April 2016, the Smithtown employers violated labor laws by paying their employees in cash for any overtime beyond the 40-hour workweek and paying straight time, according to U.S. Department of Labor. Federal standards mandate that employees be paid one

and one-half times their normal rate of pay when working overtime. In addition, federal investigators said the employers also deducted one hour of pay from employees’ daily hours for a meal break, even though workers often were unable to take an uninterrupted break. Bi-County Auto Shop failed to keep track of time its employees worked beyond 40 per week in an attempt to conceal overtime, according to U.S. Department of Labor, resulting in record-keeping violations. “This case shows that the U.S. Department of Labor will take appropriate steps to ensure compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and to rectify wage violations, so employees are not denied their justly earned pay,” said Jeffrey Rogoff, the department’s regional solicitor of labor. Under the terms of the court judgment, Bi-County Auto and its owners are prohibited from accepting the return of back wages from its employees and discrimination for any employees who step forward to exercise their rights under federal labor law. A manager at Bi-County Auto Shop stated that the company has no comment. Any worker who believes that his or her employer may be violating minimum wage or overtime laws may report them through a U.S. Department of Labor program.

Perspectives

Democrats should embrace Tax cuts, regulation rollbacks new leadership for the future fueling resurgent economy BY PERRY GERSHON It’s time for transformation within the Democratic Party. Our party represents a big tent. We welcome Blue Dog conservatives and liberal progressives equally. The focus on issues that worked for Democrat Conor Lamb in Pennsylvania is not the same as what worked for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York City. Most of all, I’m focusing on getting Democrats in better touch with issues that matter to Long Islanders. It’s a fact that the wings of the Democratic Party coexist successfully and have for decades. We are a party committed to affordable health care for all Americans, without penalty for pre-existing conditions. We want to see reductions in prescription drug prices. We are committed to fighting income inequality, to protecting Social Security and Medicare. We want fair and comprehensive immigration reform with secure and enforceable borders. We want to see America strong and vibrant, with stable relationships with our allies. We are fully By Perry committed to growing the American middle class. We believe good-paying jobs and strong unions are the keys to a robust American economy. Equal pay for equal work must be cemented into law. But as Republicans have taken over elected governance in Washington — the presidency, the Senate and the House of Representatives — it is time for us Democrats to transition to new leadership as we prepare to retake partial control in 2018. Let’s not permit the other side to run against Democrats of the past; we are running for a better tomorrow. When we take back the House this November, there must be new party leadership at the helm. It is time for the next generation

of Democrats in leadership to stand up for all of us. The election is not about Democratic leaders of the past. It is time for us to move forward. Nationally, the 2018 elections are about a vision for a new future, and when the Democrats win we must offer a new face of party leadership. The election for a Democratic speaker of the House will come only after the Democrats have achieved victory in a sufficient number of individual House races in November. I entered the race for Congress because I believe in the American values shared by my fellow Long Islanders. In New York’s 1st Congressional District, we must reduce health care costs and create fairer taxation, while making sure Lee Zeldin cannot allow the import of concealed weapons into New York that would be illegal in our state. Zeldin voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, a calamitous act that would have driven up health care costs for our most needy. That’s what voters care about. I am running for a future with better-paying jobs, a stronGershon ger infrastructure that makes Long Island more competitive for employers, and a 21stcentury economy where our young people want to remain in Suffolk County because there are good opportunities for them. Zeldin opposes a woman’s right to make choices about her own body, while I understand the need to protect Roe v. Wade and to fight for equal pay for equal work. The next Democratic House speaker will represent all of these values, and the time to select that new leader will come in January. Perry Gershon is an East Hampton resident and the Democratic candidate running for Congress to represent New York’s 1st Congressional District.

BY LEE ZELDIN

Our economy is strong and growing stronger with an economic environment spurring considerable job growth and desperately needed opportunities for American workers. Millions of new jobs have now been created since the last presidential election. The resurgence of our nation’s economy has brought those who had previously given up on finding work off the benches and back into the workforce with Latino unemployment falling to a record low of 4.6 percent and labor-force participation at an all-time high for women, African-Americans and individuals without a college degree. Fewer Americans are relying on government programs and more are securing financial independence, finding the good-paying, high-quality jobs they need to support themselves and secure a brighter future for their family. With the reduction of unemployment and underemployment, the Department of Agriculture has reported that the number of SNAP nutriBy Lee tion assistance participants has decreased by two million people since 2016, a testament to more Americans achieving financial independence. Through the reduction of corporate taxes and the elimination of harmful, job-killing red tape and regulations, confidence and investment are soaring to new heights with companies that were previously fleeing the United States returning with good-paying manufacturing jobs that have boosted GDP to higher than expected numbers. As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, I have worked to strike down executive branch regulations that unnecessarily harm consumers, small banks and the economy through the utilization of the Congressional Review Act,

which allows Congress to vote down federal agency regulations that are causing damage both intentionally and unintentionally. Coupled with the executive branch’s executive orders, we are witnessing record low unemployment rates and businesses investing in their employees and our nation’s economy, bringing consumer confidence to hover near an 18-year high. In fact, our economy is doing so well that right now there are more available jobs than people available to fill the positions. Now, more than ever, we need workers who have the skills to succeed in a 21st-century economy. It is critical we ensure access to career and technical education so all Americans who wish to work can thrive in a high-skill marketplace. During my time in Congress, I secured passage of important legislation like the STEM Education Act, which provides federal funding toward STEM programs in our schools, and I remain committed to forwarding programs that better prepare students for the 21st-century workplace. No matter how much progress is ever made, there will alZeldin ways be important work still to do. One great area for further improvement is with America’s role in the global economy where opportunities to sell American goods are limitless and trade imbalances must be better addressed. Renegotiating NAFTA, pursuing advantageous bilateral trade deals and effectively pushing back on highly problematic Chinese policies are all critical with this effort. Increasing GDP, boosting trade surpluses and exporting American goods all while creating good-paying American jobs help to strengthen our economy and security. Lee Zeldin is a Shirley resident and the U.S. Representative for New York’s 1st Congressional District, seeking a third term in November.

County

Feral cat population in need of attention across Suffolk Along a right-of-way in Mount Sinai, the exact location volunteers preferred not to publicize, a number of cats stalk through the cover of tall grass on silent paws. Upon hearing human sounds, they scatter deeper into the weeds. “Babies, babies, momma’s here,” Miller Place resident Rita Miszuk called to the wild felines as she refilled water and food trays. She said she didn’t want to give away too many specifics of the location out of fear more cats will be dropped there and left in need of care. Miszuk is the president of Volunteers for Animal Welfare Inc., a nonprofit that aids feral cat colonies across Long Island. Her group tries to infiltrate cat communities, taking the animals to places where they can be vaccinated, spayed and neutered, often on the organization’s own dime. Miszuk said she sometimes spends thousands of dollars to humanely control the number of wild cats roaming free. “There were 50 here, but we’ve gotten them down to 11 — they’re all healthy and they’re all taken care of,” Miszuk said. “This is what typical rescuers do.” They’re not her cats, in fact they’re nobody’s cats. They’re considered “feral,” but that word belies the terrorized nature of these animals left in the wild. They’re shy, they’re alone, and there are more and more every year. Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Chief Roy Gross estimated, using the organization’s own metrics, approximately 322,000 cats live in Suffolk County, including both feral and domesticated cats. For every four people in the county, there is approximately one cat. The number of rescue groups, along with the amount of trap, neuter and release programs that attempt to capture these animals, care for them and sterilize them before releasing them back into their original environment, has gone up of late. Still, Gross said the problem only continues to grow as cats continue to breed and people leave unneutered cats in homes as they move away. “The population is out of control,” Gross said. “[Rescue groups] put a dent in them, but there are just so many cats out there.” One female cat can give birth to three litters in a year with an average litter of five. Multiply that by their offspring and one cat can become 225 in a year. Erica Kutzing, vice president of Sound Beach-based Strong Island Animal Rescue League, suggested the problem is exacerbated by the warming climate. Where cats used to become pregnant only in the summer months, she said she is now seeing pregnant cats give birth as early as March or February as they get pregnant later in the year. “A lot of people like to say, ‘It’s not my cat,’” Kutzing said. “It’s fine that it’s not your cat, it’s not

“There are people out there who are sadistic criminals who go out and find easy prey, generally the kittens,” Gross said. “We have had people in the past drive spikes through them, behead them, impale them, poison them — just horrible acts of animal cruelty. Some of those people are just sadistic, but in cases like poison some people just don’t like these cats roaming around on their property.” Beyond acts of violence, many residents either don’t know what to do or don’t feel it’s their concern. If people do not interact with these community cats by either taking them to a TNR program or by feeding them, then either the cats numbers grow exponentially or they will start to die. “Without these people who take care of the cat colonies, we would have cats starving to death,” Kutzing said. “There would just be cat bodies littered everywhere.” Many groups and shelters like Strong Island or Little Shelter offer local residents opportunities to use their cages to trap the animals so they can later be spayed and neutered. Kutzing said if the cost prohibits a resident from acting on a cat population, they should try and get their neighbors involved and make it a community fund. After all, the community cat problem is a community issue. “If everyone gets involved, this problem will be drastically cut,” she said. Miszuk said while her group does what it can, she needs local businesses, residents and especially local government to step in and help, otherwise the problem will only get worse. “This problem has been swept under the carpet,” Miszuk said. “We need support to say that we are legitimate first responders.”

County

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

When someone goes missing, it can be a terrifying experience for the person as well as family, friends and neighbors, especially when the individual has an impairment. The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department is reminding the public of its Project Lifesaver initiative after John Wile, a Stony Brook man with Alzheimer’s, was found dead Aug. 8 on the Research and Development Park property, also in Stony Brook, after leaving his home to jog two days earlier. The 10-year-old rapid-response program aids clients who may wander due to cognitive impairments or other afflictions, such as Alzheimer’s, dementia and autism. Deputy Sheriff Sgt. Brian Weinfeld said those enrolled in the sheriff’s program wear a wristband with a transmitter that can be used on the wrist, ankle or as a necklace. The radio frequency transmitter and wristband come with a case, tester and battery. The battery and wristband have to be changed or charged every 30 to 60 days depending on the type. He said caretakers are informed to call a special line with the Sheriff’s Department and 911 as soon as it’s discovered that someone with the transmitter is missing. The calls are received at the sheriff’s communication bureau and a text message is sent out to all Project Lifesaver responders, which is approximately 15 people within the department who are spread out from Montauk to Amityville. While all may not be working when an emergency occurs, Weinfeld said sometimes a responder will join the search on his or her day off.

Once the responders get a message that someone is missing they turn on their equipment and will receive a signal every one second transmitted from the person’s location device, Weinfeld said. The range of the signal depends on the terrain, and a responder’s antennae can pick up a signal approximately 3 miles on land and 5 in the air. The signal can be picked up by the antenna on a car or from a handheld antenna when searching on the ground. Using radio frequencies has its benefits. “It’s not susceptible to satellites going down, cloudy weather or being in a basement,” he said. “That signal is going to be strong no matter what. Whereas with a GPS-type of device, you’re going to be relying on satellites and a clear path to the sky and that type of stuff.” Weinfeld said responders start from where the person went missing and have an estimated range of how far the person could have wandered, which can be about 4 miles an hour. When a man in Brentwood went missing recently, a responder was near the Sagtikos State Parkway and the man was found within three minutes, according to the deputy sheriff sergeant. He said it’s critical when looking for someone who is lost that a caretaker calls the second he or she realizes, even before he or she searches for the person. “Thankfully most of our searches end before we even get there,” he said. “Which is great. I tell all the clients, ‘Please, don’t hesitate to call us because we’re working, we’re on the road, we’re there. If you think your person is missing, just call us. We can start by sending someone to your area. Five minutes later we’re just pulling in and you found them, no big deal, we’ll just go back to work.’ I don’t want people to think they’re burdening us.”

S.C. SHERIFF’S DEPT.

Sheriff’s department lends a helping hand to Alzheimer’s patients

Above, a transmitter and wristband that can be obtained at the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department.

Weinfeld said there are approximately 108 clients enrolled in the program, with roughly 50 percent being seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The other 50 percent are children and adults with autism. He said there has been a 100 percent success rate out of the 3,000 reported searches in North America. Those interested in the program can fill out a form with the Sheriff’s Department, and after a home visit and approval, can purchase the kit for approximately $300. Weinfeld said health insurance may cover the expense in some cases and others may be eligible to receive it for free. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, a voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research, one in three seniors die with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, and it’s the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. The association

states 5.7 million Americans are currently living with the disease, and it’s projected that number will rise to about 14 million by 2050. “The use of electronic tracking devices may be an appropriate part of a comprehensive safety plan which offers peace of mind for individuals with the disease and their caregivers,” said Douglas Davidson, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association, Long Island Chapter.”It should never be used as a replacement for needed supervision, and families should prepare for safety issues throughout the course of the disease.” For more information on Project Lifesaver, visit www.suffolkcountysheriffsoffice.com/projectlifesaver.

Smithtown High School East art teacher Dianne Shanian, worked along with High School West student Alexandria Santoro and High School East student Brianna Foster, to paint a vibrant design on the wall outside of St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center’s new rock garden. Inspired by the song lyrics from “Lean on Me,” the trio painted the wall before the garden was officially unveiled July 26. St. Catherine’s nursing staff painted positive messages on rocks that were donated to the hospital and placed in the bed of the garden. Pictured at right, from left, Shanian, Santoro and Foster in front of the mural.

Healthy summer goals

Academic goals and social-emotional learning in a small group setting are emphasized in Smithtown school district’s six-week Extended School Year Program. This summer, 95 students in grades 1 to 8 are enrolled in the program housed at Smithtown Elementary School for six weeks. The theme for this year’s program is Healthy Body, Healthy Mind, and students have been aengaged in academic activities that reinforce the theme. Students participated in a friendship picnic and friendship games for Field Day. Throughout

the program, students have physical education and computer lab periods in their weekly schedules. There’s also a musical presentation and a visit from librarians at the Smithtown Public Library. The district’s summer reading program is for students in kindergarten through eighth grade, which ran from July 9 to Aug. 2. With more than 100 students enrolled, the program focused on reading, writing and comprehension. The overall goal was to help students maintain their reading skills throughout the summer months.

Opinion

Editorial

Attacks on the free press must stop

Below is an editorial written by Judy Patrick, the New York Press Association’s vice president for editorial development. We’ve been complacent. We thought everybody knew how important a free press was to our world and that all this talk about us being the enemy of the people would be dismissed for the silliness that it is. But the reckless attacks have continued, instigated and encouraged by our president. When the leader of the free world works to erode the public’s trust in the media, the potential for damage is enormous, both here and abroad. We once set an example of free and open government for the world to follow. Now those who seek to suppress the free flow of information are doing so with impunity. The time has come for us to stand up to the bullying. The role journalism plays in our free society is too crucial to allow this degradation to continue. We aren’t the enemy of the people. We are the people. We aren’t fake news. We are your news and we struggle night and day to get the facts right. On bitter cold January nights, we’re the people’s eyes and ears at town, village and school board meetings. We tell the stories of our communities, from the fun of a county fair to the despair a family faces when a loved one is killed. We are always by your side. We shop the same stores, attend the same churches and hike the same trails. We struggle with day care and worry about paying for retirement. In our work as journalists, our first loyalty is to you. Our work is guided by a set of principles that demand objectivity, independence, open-mindedness and the pursuit of the truth. We make mistakes, we know. There’s nothing we hate more than errors but we acknowledge them, correct them and learn from them. Our work is a labor of love because we love our country and believe we are playing a vital role in our democracy. Self-governance demands that our citizens need to be well-informed and that’s what we’re here to do. We go beyond the government-issued press release or briefing and ask tough questions. We hold people in power accountable for their actions. Some think we’re rude to question and challenge. We know it’s our obligation. People have been criticizing the press for generations. We are not perfect. But we’re striving every day to be a better version of ourselves than we were the day before. That’s why we welcome criticism. But unwarranted attacks that undermine your trust in us cannot stand. The problem has become so serious that newspapers across the nation are speaking out against these attacks in one voice this week on their editorial pages. As women’s rights pioneer and investigative journalist Ida B. Wells wrote in 1892: “The people must know before they can act, and there is no educator to compare with the press.”

Letters to the editor

The power of a neatly folded handkerchief I am writing in response to Publisher Leah Dunaief’s “Between you and me” column in the Aug. 9 editions of TBR News Media newspapers. My father always carried a handkerchief, neatly folded, ironed by my mother. On more than one occasion he reminded me that a gentleman always carried one. While tissues or sleeves may indeed be the modern substitute, to this day I carry a handkerchief, neatly folded, ironed by my wife. I do so for sanitary reasons as well as to honor my

father’s memory. Your confession of unintentional “pilfering” the officer’s handkerchief brought to mind a family story that always elicited laughter. My father was employed by Newsday as its classified advertising department manager. Many, if not all, of his immediate co-workers were women operators whose job it was to take advertising copy over the telephone. From time to time my father had to call one of the women into his office to convey the bad news that she was being

fired. When that message elicited tears, dad offered the distraught ex-employee his neatly folded handkerchief, ironed by my mother. Inevitably, the fired operator left the building with dad’s handkerchief clutched in her hand or tucked in her handbag. If nothing else, the voluminous turnover of handkerchiefs always provided the family with ideas for holiday and birthday gifts. Thanks for the memory. Barry Warren Port Jefferson

Zeldin campaigns at taxpayers’ expense On Aug. 11, I received in the mail a campaign flyer from U.S. Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley). It would require more space than is available to debunk every one of the misleading claims it makes. But my attention was particularly drawn to the fine print on the reverse, “This mailing was prepared, published, and mailed at taxpayer expense.” Since I am neither a registered Republican nor on Zeldin’s contact list, I presume this campaign flyer was sent to the household of every registered voter in our district. So how many households is that: 100,000? Or 200,000? Or 300,000? And exactly how much of the taxpayers’ money is being used to mail this campaign ad out,

never mind in its preparation and printing? There’s one particularly absurd claim made by this campaign flyer: That Zeldin has held hundreds of meetings and public forums for constituents to ask questions. The truth is that he has refused to hold a single traditional town hall meeting during this session of Congress. The one supposed public town hall he did hold was tightly controlled. Questions had to be submitted in advance, they were screened, they were read out (sometimes in modified form) by a local GOP politician, not by the constituent asking the question, and no follow-up questions were allowed. The so-called telephone town halls, which Zeldin uses to replace real town halls, are

nothing more than tightly controlled conference calls in which he takes screened questions and again permits no follow-up or dialogue. Why is Zeldin so afraid to explain his record and his views to his constituents in an open, public, unscreened forum? Is he afraid they might force him to answer some tough questions about his record? Is that prospect so frightening? And why is he instead using his constituents’ tax money to print and mail campaign propaganda designed to mislead them about his record? David Friedman St. James

Something is wrong, we must speak up What do you do when everything within says the policies and statements coming from the White House are unjust, inhumane and ultimately un-American? You feel it in your bones: Something is wrong, morally wrong. Because when immigrant children are taken from their parents and placed in cages, that is immoral. When an entire people is stereotyped as “criminals and rapists,” that is immoral. When politicians beholden to the NRA protect guns over students, when the wealthy get big tax breaks while the poor face losing food stamps, when environmental regulations are stripped so greedy corporations can increase profits, all of that is immoral. And when the president makes enemies of our allies and allies of our enemies, siding with a brutal human rights-abusing dictator over U.S. intelligence communities, it is not only immoral but treasonous, even

if our economy is humming along, and it’s tempting to turn a deaf ear to the cries of people suffering the consequences of immoral decisions. Something is terribly wrong. That’s why I felt compelled to shout in protest, “Stop the hate talk!” and “We are all Americans!” during Congressman Lee Zeldin’s June 28 campaign rally after hearing speakers ridicule Americans with whom they disagreed. I’d do it again because I’m sick over the direction in which our country is moving and am convinced we must use every platform available to appeal to Trump die-hards like Zeldin to turn back this terrible tide. We need acts of nonviolent moral resistance, planned or unplanned, alone or with others. We need to exercise our God-given, Constitution-affirming inalienable right to protest because as a friend once said, the opposite of depression is expression and

expressing your outrage, even in a small way, is far better than staying depressed. I was thrown out of Zeldin’s campaign event along with two newspaper reporters with visible press credentials. Could it be that in Smithtown — pegged “Zeldin country” by the town supervisor during that same rally — the Trumpian refrain of the press is “the enemy of the people,” despite its ugly history, is frighteningly embraced? Something is terribly wrong, and it may take all of us — white, black, brown, left, right, Christian, Muslim, Jew, gay, straight, rich and poor — to come together and express ourselves before our democracy goes over the cliff that leaders like Trump and Zeldin have brought us to. Susan Perretti East Setauket (Editor’s note: This letter is in response to Jim Soviero’s Aug. 2 letter, “Lists, contradictions, credibility.”)

Opinion

A satirical page from a beleaguered attorney general’s diary

W

ith great power comes great criticism. The following is a hypothetical diary entry from beleaguered Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who faces routine presidential ire: I don’t know how much longer I can take this. It’s not fair. Yes, I know my boss is angry, defensive and frustrated, but D. None he’s always pickof the above ing on me, calling BY DANIEL DUNAIEF me names. I think he wants to get rid of me. The other day, he called me “scared stiff” and “missing in action.”

Gosh, that doesn’t sound nice, now, does it? What’s worse? He didn’t say it to my face: He wrote it on Twitter, where the whole world can see his feelings. I’ve been turning the other cheek all this time, but I’m running out of cheeks. What can I do? Maybe I’ll develop a new hobby. I’ll practice that “lock her up” chant that tickles me so. I won’t do it in public. When I’m alone in my soundproof shower, I can say it quietly. I can get a small doll and look down on it, terrifying it the way my boss tries to intimidate me. I was confirmed as attorney general by a 52-47 vote in the Senate. Now, I know it’s not quite as stunning and exciting as that electoral college win by the guy who keeps insulting me, but it’s still pretty cool and it was a close vote. You don’t hear me telling everyone about the 52 votes I got, the way my boss repeats, all these months later, that he got 304 electoral college votes.

I’m working hard, even though I recused myself from that Russia investigation. I’m just not sure how much more of these harsh insults I can take. I could resign. I could ride away from this situation into something much more fun and less stressful, like zip lining over an alligator pit. I’m just kidding, of course. There are no alligator pit zip lines but there are some people I’d like to see trying that. “Lock her up, lock her up!” Wait, I got distracted. I’m serving my country, but it just doesn’t seem rewarding. So, today, I did an internet search, “What to do if your boss is out to get you,” and I found an article in TopResume, a professional résumé service. It said I should evaluate the situation and see if I’m doing enough. Well, yeah, I am, so check on me, right? Or, maybe, check plus. Then, it said I should understand my boss’s issues and communication style, and it linked to another article that suggested ways to neutralize

a Machiavellian boss. It said I should present my ideas in a way that allows him to take credit. So far, I’m not sure I’ve done that. Then it says I should give him credit but, again, I don’t know what he wants credit for? My boss also seems like a seagull at times, diving in, depositing steaming piles of advice and then taking off, leaving the rest of us to clean up his mess. Now, I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but this sounds a bit like my boss. I’m also supposed to create a written record so I can go to human resources. I’m not sure what HR office I could approach these days. I’ll say one thing for Twitter: It sure does allow me to keep track of all the things he’s said about me. Oh, and it also suggested I see the situation as a learning opportunity, helping me be a better boss. I guess if I were ever in his shoes, I wouldn’t need to criticize people publicly. That’s it for now, diary. Until tomorrow, that is, when he attacks me again.

A reader responds with a tale of mercy from California Dear Leah, My wife and I enjoy your weekly opinion pieces, and we especially enjoyed your column about a police encounter (“Techniques for avoiding traffic tickets,” Aug. 9). It rekindled the memory of our encounter, 55 years ago, with the California Highway Patrol.

I

BY CHUCK DARLING n January 1963, while employed by the Gyrodyne helicopter company in St. James, I was “volunteered“ by the owner, Peter Papadakos, to lead a team of engineers and electronic technicians to assist the U.S. Navy fleet in Coronado, California, installing our drone helicopters on Navy ships. This assignment was to last six months, so Nancy and I packed up the four kids, (ages 5, 4, 3 and 1), and the dog, locked up the house and flew to San Diego. After we had settled in for a month, Nancy’s folks decided that they could use some time away from the brutal win-

ter weather in Illinois, so they drove to San Diego to warm up and to see their grandbabies. Whilst there they volunteered to stay with the rug rats for a long weekend, so we could have a respite from parenting. This was a godsend for Nance, for, other than the occasional movie, she hadn’t had a break from the kids for more than five years. She immediately contacted some friends that we knew from the University of Illinois who had settled in Southern California, and set up a long weekend in Las Vegas. Nancy’s folks had driven their 1958, fin-tailed Cadillac from Illinois, and since it had air conditioning, they thought it would be more comfortable for us to drive in it through the desert to Vegas than in the used Volkswagen Beetle which I had bought in San Diego. We gratefully accepted their offer. On a Friday morning in February, we kissed the kids goodbye, and headed east for Las Vegas. Driving the Caddy was like flying a plane — it was quiet, comfortable and fast. It was very

easy to let the speed creep up, as the road was flat and very few cars were evident, especially when compared with traffic on Long Island. As I noticed the speedometer at 80, I also noticed in the rear-view mirror, a California Highway Patrol car approaching with his bubble light flashing. Oh, no! I pulled over and the smartly dressed officer approached and said, “You were going a little fast there.” I told him that we were headed for Vegas for a long weekend, the first time for the two of us to be away from kids together, and we were giddy to get to the palaces of pleasure in Vegas. He asked to see my driver’s license, and I handed over my New York license. He said, “Why a New York license?” I told him I was on a temporary work assignment in San Diego, and hadn’t bothered to change it for a California permit. He said, “But you are driving a car with Illinois plates.” I said it was my father-inlaw’s car. He was visiting us from Illinois and the old folks were sitting with the kids back in Chula Vista while we were in Vegas. He asked to see the

He had this incredulous, bewildered look on his face and just stared at me for the longest time — it seemed like an hour. Finally, he said, “I’m going to have to let you go with a warning.” I almost wet my pants with joy. But, since the CHP wasn’t known for its benevolence, I asked him, “Why?” He said, “Because a judge would lock you up forever if I wrote you up. You’re driving 80 miles an hour on a California highway; you have a New York driver’s license; you’re driving a car with Illinois plates on it — and you don’t possess the car’s registration. You would never get out of jail. Somehow, someway, I believe everything you’ve told me, but I’m not sure a judge would. Just get out of here, just leave.” As I watched him walking back to his patrol car, he was quietly shaking his head as though he had seen everything now.
