ERIKA KARP Mount Sinai BOE member Michael Riggio, second from the left, is stepping down ahead of the 2018 school year.
BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Mount Sinai’s school board is a member short following a surprise resignation. Three-year member of the Mount Sinai School District board of education Michael Riggio vacated his seat before the start of the new school year saying he had a sudden “golden opportunity” to work in Florida. “I did not want to leave the Mount Sinai board of education, but it was a very good career opportunity that took my family and I down to Florida,” Riggio said. A 12-year resident of Mount Sinai, Riggio ran for his second term unopposed and had just been re-elected to another three-year term on the board in May. The retired officer from the New York City Police Department’s counterterrorism unit served as vice president on the board during the 2017-18 school year and was a big proponent of the district’s eventual move to hire armed security guards in the district. Riggio communicated to the district July 27 he would be resigning from his position effective Aug. 5, according to district clerk Maureen Poerio. While he said he didn’t wish to disappoint the school, the opportunity came suddenly. The job is in the law enforcement field, but he declined to reveal exact specifics about the position. “It’s not fair to the board or the community for me to fly in once a month for a meeting,” Riggio said. “I might not be able to make it if

Mount Sinai Board of Education c/o Maureen Poerio, District Clerk 118 North Country Road, Mount Sinai, New York 11766 or email to mpoerio@mtsinai.k12.ny.us work is too crazy, so I couldn’t take the spot.” The school board will consider persons for appointment to the vacated seat, and the district is seeking letters of interest for anyone in the community who wishes to apply. The board will decide on the candidate at its Sept. 14 board meeting, and that person will serve until May 2019 when he or she will run for election for the right to finish out the rest of the term vacated by Riggio. Candidates need to be a qualified voter of the district, a resident of the district for at least one year and may not be a current employee of the district. Mount Sinai is looking for candidates to show their prior community service or volunteer work in the district as well as their ability to attend one to three meetings a month and be available at all times to communicate. The board currently has six members, one short of its usual seven filled seats. Interested candidates can send letters of inteerest to the Mount Sinai board of education. See contact information above. Submissions will be accepted through Sept. 14 at 3 p.m.

Centuries of scientific experimentation and exploration will be preserved in Shoreham. Concluding months of nail-biting anticipation, the Wardenclyffe property in Shoreham, made famous as the last standing laboratory of famous 19th- and 20th-century scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla, finally made it onto the U.S. National Register of Historic Places July 27. The designation is the culmination of hard work by the nonprofit Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe to get the site listed on local, state and national lists of historic places. Marc Alessi, the science center’s executive director, said the site landing on these historic registers helps to guarantee that the property will survive through future generations. “Listing on the National Historic Register not only helps preserve Nikola Tesla’s last remaining laboratory, but it allows us to move forward with renovations and plans to develop Wardenclyffe into a world class science and innovation center,” Alessi said. “[The] listing also opens doors for funding, as many grants require official historic status.” Members of Tesla Science Center spent close to a year gathering data on the historic nature of the site located along Route 25A in Shoreham. They hired a historic architecture consultant to document which parts of the 16-acre property were historical and which were not. The property was considered for historical site status by the New York State Historic Preservation Office June 7 after receiving 9,500 letters of support from people all over the world. The property passed that decision with a unanimous vote of approval, and it was then sent to the National Park Service for a decision to place the property on the national register. “We hope that this will remind people of the importance of Tesla and his work at Wardenclyffe,” Tesla center President Jane Alcorn said. The Shoreham property was home to one of Tesla’s last and most ambitious projects of his career. His plan was to build a tower that could, in theory, project electricity through the ground as a way of offering free energy to everyone in the area. Creditors seized upon his property after it was learned there would be limited ways of monetizing the project. Tesla spent his remaining years for the most part in solitude and obscurity until his death in 1943. Recent decades have shown a resurgence of interest in Tesla for his groundbreaking technologies such as the Tesla coil, a 19th-century invention used to produce high-voltage alternating-current electricity, and alternating current, which is used in most electronics today. In 2012 the science center worked with The Oatmeal comic website to launch a successful Indiegogo campaign that raised $1.37 million to purchase the land. Since then the nonprofit has renovated the property with plans to turn the site into a museum and incubator for technology-based business startups.

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.”

Girl Scout archives historical society photos for Gold Award A piece of history has been organized and preserved thanks to the hard work of a Mount Sinai teen. Girl Scouts looking to achieve their Gold Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn, are tasked with identifying an issue in their community, conducting research, pitching a project and shepherding it to completion in a leadership role in the hopes of achieving some greater good for the community. Rebecca Muroff, a Mount Sinai High School student heading into her senior year, stood at the William Miller House, the headquarters of the Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society on North Country Road in Miller Place, Aug. 11 and shared the byproduct of months of hard work as the culmination of her Gold Award project. Muroff and her family have long enjoyed events held by the historical society, from the annual Country Fair to the local Christmas tradition of passing letters to Santa off to Postman Pete, so exploring a project to help an organization close to her heart was a no-brainer, she said. The Gold Award recipient, beginning in October 2017, sifted through the historical society’s vast collection of old photos amassed since its inception in 1974 to create a pictorial archive, labeling the photos with numbers and a corresponding destination in a spreadsheet, including categories like location, date, names of the people in the photo and any other pertinent comments. The result is a detailed catalog available to visitors who can now quickly and easily find photos of specific people or events dating back decades. Muroff said plans are even in the works to digitize the archive in some manner.
“It shows people as we matured over the years and there are a lot of people — members — that, because we were founded in ’74, have passed or moved away,” said Edna Giffen, the society’s recording secretary and archivist, who Muroff said played a crucial role in working on the project. “I realized there are people in the pictures that I don’t even know. Members will be glad to see this.” Muroff said she always liked going to events at the society as a kid and reflected on the idea that she’d created something that will enrich visits by future generations. “It’s just nice I think to have tangible memories of the historical society,” she said. “Now people can look through the pictures and people can see themselves or their family members. It’s a nice feeling to know that I’m preserving history so other people can enjoy it.” Tara Broome and Gretchen Lynch, Muroff’s leaders in Girl Scout Troop 1090, attended the Aug. 11 event set up to unveil the new photo archive. “It’s really beautiful because we started with the whole troop when they were in second grade and now they’re seniors in high school,” Broome said. Lynch added the troop had about 20 members when the girls were young, and Muroff was one of only five to earn the Gold Award. “We’re almost like second mothers to them really,” she said. “They really persevered and did everything that was asked of them, and they’re like a family now.” Muroff’s actual parents, Christine and Greg, also beamed with pride over their daughter’s accomplishment. “It really hit me yesterday when we went to the Girl Scouts store to complete her sash,” her mom said. “I’m so happy she stuck with it.”

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 By Perry fully 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 stronger Gershon infrastructure that makes Long Island more competitive for employers, and a 21st-century 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 nutrition assistance participants has deBy Lee creased 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 towards 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 Zeldin always 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.

Racers build then row their way around PJ Harbor BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Not even a downpour could stop the participants of the eighth annual Sikaflex Quick & Dirty Boat Build Competition Aug. 12 from testing both their ingenuity and skill in racing a craft they built. Six teams were given five hours Saturday, Aug. 11, to construct their own small craft out of plywood and caulk, even including their own oars. Those boats were painted early Sunday before they were taken out into Port Jefferson Harbor alongside Harborfront Park to be raced against each other. Though for many who participated, a large part of the competition was to see if their boat could actually float. “We didn’t even float in last year’s competi-
tion, so this year was a redemption,” said Queens resident Kelsey Pagan, who along with her partner Dominic Ware, won third place with their boat the Crooked Angler. Winners of the previous year’s competition, Matthew Debeau and Ken Callirgos, from Port Jefferson, got second place with their spaceship-themed boat named Apollo 1379. Brooklyn residents Keanne Petrie and Jocelyn Cabral won this year in their boat School of Fish. Petrie is a five-year contestant, and this was the first time she won. It was a day of victories for Petrie, as she also was picked in a raffle drawing for a brand-new Sassafras 16 Chesapeake Light Craft Canoe. “This is really amazing,” Petrie said. She thought about it, and laughed. “Now I just need to figure out how to bring this back to Brooklyn.”
Top, Keanne Petrie and Jocelyn Cabral cross the finish line first at the 2018 Quick & Dirty Boat Build in Port Jefferson Aug. 12. All other photos, participants compete in the annual event.

School News
Old faces in new places
This coming school year will bring new responsibilities for two longtime Rocky Point school district professionals, as Rocky Point Middle School Principal Scott O’Brien, pictured above on the right, has been appointed the new interim assistant superintendent, and current Assistant Principal James Moeller, pictured above on the left, has been named the new interim principal at the middle school. Both began work in their new positions July 1. O’Brien has worked in the district for nearly two decades, having started as an elementary teacher in the Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School, before being appointed as assistant principal and then principal at FJC. In 2009, O’Brien assumed his current role, as principal of the Rocky Point Middle School. Under his
guidance, the middle school has earned several distinguished honors and students’ academic performance has risen to an all-time high, according to the district. The appointment will fill the vacancy left by Deborah De Luca, who retired effective June 30. Moeller is a long-standing district professional, having begun his career as a teacher at the Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School. He has worked at the middle school since 2007. As a consummate professional, Moeller has helped to create an open line of communication for parents and students at the building as well as aided in the implementation of numerous new initiatives, according to the district. The district congratulates both O’Brien and Moeller on their appointments and wishes them well in these new roles.

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
Trump’s trade policies are hurting America On Tuesday, July 24, President Donald Trump announced plans to provide $12 billion in emergency aid to farmers harmed by his trade policies. Just so we all are clear, this means that the president started a trade war which hurt farmers because of retaliatory tariffs on soybeans and pork, and in response the president offers the farmers welfare which is paid for with money he’s borrowing from the countries (e.g., China) he started the trade war with. So instead of profiting from the sale of American food to China, Trump’s trade policy has the U.S. paying money (interest) to China while U.S. farmers become dependent on our government. The criticism of the president’s trade policy is not only coming from the political
left. Members of his own party have said on the record: • “If tariffs punish farmers, the answer is not welfare for farmers — the answer is remove the tariffs,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.); • “This trade war is cutting the legs out from under farmers and White House’s ‘plan’ is to spend $12 billion on gold crutches. America’s farmers don’t want to be paid to lose — they want to win by feeding the world,” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.). Trump responded to these critiques by saying “be a little patient.” It would be easier to be patient if the president’s Republican policies of tax cuts for the wealthy and increased spending were working to greatly expand the
economy and pay down the debt. In 2017 Trump pledged to eliminate the national debt over a period of eight years. But here we are a year and a half into his presidency, and the national debt surpassed $21 trillion for the first-time ever. So far, a year and a half in, Republicans have managed to increase our debt and our deficit, with no gains in real wages for working Americans. Color me unimpressed by Trump, Zeldin and the Republican leadership in Congress. So forgive me, Mr. President, if I have trouble being patient when you spend $12 billion on welfare to farmers who are harmed by your policies, and continue to raise the national debt. Jaymie Meliker 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

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.

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

car’s registration, and I told him that I had forgotten to get it from Nancy’s dad before we left. 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.
