the times of smithtown - december 17, 2015

intendent instructed an em-ployee of Smithtown to alter road construction reports to hide his approval of Med-ford contractor Suffolk As-phalt Corp. paving as many as eight Smithtown streets in below-freezing temperatures throughout November 2014.

“This disposition compels the defendant to resign from his elected position and his

admission of guilt before the court confirms the facts un-covered during the investiga-tion,” Robert Clifford, spokes-man for the DA’s office, said in a statement earlier this year. “As the superintendent of highways, Mr. Jorgensen knowingly had false infor-mation about the paving of town roads filed as an official town record, and he know-

ingly directed that inaccurate information be filed to make it appear as though the road-work met state mandatory specifications.”

Jorgensen resigned from his position Oct. 16.

“It is a sad occurrence and I will have no comment other than I have sympathy for Mr. Jorgensen and his family,”

Kings Park parents approve project bondCommunity comes out in numbers,

throwing support behind renovationPage a5

By phil corSo

The girl hit by a car on Main Street last week has died of her injuries, according to the Suf-folk County Police Department.

Kings Park’s 11-year-old Holly Gallo died on Dec. 10, police said, five days after a van struck her as she crossed the road in her hometown. The van had been traveling east and had just passed Thompson Street at the time of the crash, roughly 11 a.m. that Saturday.

Holly initially survived the crash but had been in critical condition at Stony Brook Uni-versity Hospital before her death.

The van’s driver, a 52-year-

old Freeport man, was not hurt.After the crash, police said

they had impounded the van for a safety check and detec-tives from the 4th Squad were investigating.

A Gofundme.com website was launched in the days fol-lowing Gallo’s death in which family members and friends raised more than $48,000 to help the family. Sabrina Kl-emballa, who identified her-self as a close member of the family, said the family has felt support from the North Shore and beyond since the 11-year-old’s death.

Jorgensen sentenced

By phil corSo

Smithtown’s former High-way Superintendent Glenn Jor-gensen was sentenced to 560 hours of community service and three years’ probation in state Supreme Court on Friday after pleading guilty to charges accusing him of falsifying pub-lic documents, records showed.

Back in October, Jorgensen, 64, pleaded guilty to the fel-ony charge of offering a false instrument for filing and the misdemeanor charge of offi-cial misconduct relating back to a construction project he headed in November 2014, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said. He ap-peared in front of Supreme Court Justice Mark Cohen in Riverhead on Friday, where he avoided four months of jail time and received a plea deal that included his community service sentencing as well as a surcharge of $375 to be paid over the next 90 days.

Anthony La Pinta, Jor-gensen’s Hauppauge-based criminal defense attorney, could not be reached from comment.

According to the criminal complaint against Jorgensen, the former highway super-

Certain hoverboard batteries pose hazards: IsraelBy Victoria Espinoza

One of this year’s hot holiday items might be a little too hot.

Hoverboards have been flying off the shelves this holiday season but recent safety issues, including multiple cases of boards catching fire or exploding, have given some shoppers pause.

That’s why Rep. Steve Israel (D-Hun-tington) gathered with members of the Commack Fire Department Tuesday and urged consumers against buying hover-boards specifically made in China, be-cause he said the type of batteries used in them may ignite.

“Hoverboards may be the hot holiday gift, but they are literally catching on fire and igniting questions about their safety and the safety of lithium-ion batteries,” Israel said. “New Yorkers should remain hesitant before purchasing these hover-boards and stay vigilant while using and charging them.”

Hoverboards are self-balancing, elec-tronic two-wheeled devices on which people can travel from place to place. When riding one, a person may appear to be levitating, or hovering, similarly to those on the hoverboards featured in the film “Back to the Future Part II.”

Israel stood beside a photo display of several fires that the Commack depart-ment had already responded to where

hoverboards caused combustion inside someone’s home, destroying property and, sometimes, entire rooms.

Hoverboards shipped from overseas use lithium-ion batteries, which can combust if heated or overcharged due to their limited voltage range. Israel called for more research from the U.S. Depart-ment of Energy on the safety of using these batteries in hoverboards.

The congressman also noted that air-ports already task their security person-nel to remove all lithium-ion batteries from checked bags for the same reason.

“Well if we know that those lithium-ion batteries could be a hazard to the plane, and we know a hoverboard with a lithium-ion battery could be hazardous to our homes, that says we need to do a little bit more research,” Israel said.

Commack Fire Marshal Joe Digiose flanked the congressman on Tuesday and said he urged residents to be care-ful when buying hoverboards until more research is completed. He said there is no research that shows the American-made products are not working well, but the ones from overseas pose more of a dan-ger and are being shipped at a very high rate to the United States.

“We recommend you don’t buy them — but if you do, buy an American-made one,” he said.

Don Talka, senior vice president and

chief engineer at Underwriters Laborato-ries, has been involved in research on lith-ium-ion batteries for years, starting back when they were involved with similar is-sues in laptops. He said the major problem is the mating of the battery with the rest of the electronics used in the hoverboards.

“What we’ve learned through our re-search … is that the combination and how these pieces interact cause the is-sues,” Talka said. “And how the batteries are charged and discharged are all items which need further investigation.”

At the press conference, Israel inspected the box that a hoverboard came in, and said that despite all the instructions and caution labels about the product, there is no information about the battery.

“That has been established as one of the single greatest threats to property and potentially lives when they’re com-ing from China,” Israel said. “That’s why we want to comply with the energy chair to fully research this and make sure that people aren’t being exposed to greater risk and threat by lithium-ion batteries.”

Commack kids createTeaching her students the true mean-

ing of giving to others was third-grade teacher Diane D’Allesandro’s goal this holiday season. In lieu of a class party, her students at Burr Intermediate School in Commack, with the help of their par-ents and grandparents, created hand-made needlepoint bookmarks to donate to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital just

in time for the holidays.The students wrapped new books

along with their bookmarks and sent special messages to bring joy and the gift of reading to many children, delivered in a beautiful basket of 24 individually wrapped books to cheer their peers who are ill or recovering at Stony Brook.

Kings Park community approves project bondBY PHil Corso

Kings Park schools are getting a face-lift.On Tuesday, Dec. 8, community resi-

dents approved a capital project bond ref-erendum totaling $41,422,515. The final vote was 1,331 yes, 499 no.

The board of education and Super-intendent of Schools Timothy Eagen extended their appreciation to all those who participated in this vote.

“This bond is exactly what our facili-ties and grounds need to rebuild a foun-dation of pride in Kings Park,” Eagen said in a statement. “I am very thankful that the community has been so support-ive of this project. Our infrastructure is in desperate need of updating.”

The results of the vote demonstrate that community residents value the qual-ity education Kings Park provides to its students and the importance of main-taining and renovating district facilities for the benefit of students, staff and the community.

With the approved project, all six buildings within the district would see building improvements, including roof replacements, bathroom renovations and door and hardware replacements, as well as asphalt and pavement upgrades as necessary.

Plans also call for auditorium up-grades, gymnasium renovations and the creation of a multipurpose athletic field

and accompanying concession stand/comfort station at Kings Park High School. Additional high school renova-tions include upgrading the library to provide for 21st century student research and learning needs and resurfacing and upgrading the high school track.

The full listing of projects can be found on the district’s website, www.kpcsd.k12.ny.us.

“On behalf of the BOE, I thank ev-eryone who voted,” said board Presi-dent Pam DeFord. “I would also like to thank the entire Facilities Committee and Dr. Eagen for the effort and time they dedicated to this project. From the beginning, taking on this bond project was a community effort. Many commu-nity members worked collaboratively to assess the needs of our district, keep-ing in mind the needs of our students as well as watching the cost factor for all residents. It was wonderful to have the community support the work of the committee. As we start ‘rebuilding our Kings Park pride,’ we should all be reminded of this great community. As you may have heard before, ‘it takes a village to raise a child,’ and together, that is exactly what we are doing in our community. ”

The district said that it looks forward to the community’s future involvement as the plans and projects proposed in the approved bond become a reality.

File photoThe Kings Park community can now expect more than $41 million in capital projects to give facilities within their school district a much needed upgrade.

campaign event in May. right, durko promotes the revitalized annual

Walk for Beauty event with help from her classmates.

By Phil corSo

She has Three Village roots,

but her reach has spanned

across the entire North Shore.

And she hasn’t even graduated

high school yet.Kyra Durko, a Ward Mel-

ville senior and member of

the dominant girls fencing

team, has become an up-

and-coming community star,

spearheading one of the area’s

largest annual events while

still excelling in her studies

and extracurricular activities.

Her impact on our society at

such a young age is among the

reasons she is selected as one

of the Village Times Herald’s

People of the Year.Durko, 17, used her role as

president of the high school’s

Key Club to completely revi-

talize the community’s an-

nual Walk for Beauty event.

She led what other organizers

called an unprecedented level

of involvement from students

at her school as well as those

from neighboring districts.

Durko helped recruit sev-

eral high school music groups

to perform alongside other

Long Island bands at the

event and teamed up with

groups like the Ward Melville

National Art Honor Society

to paint signs and beautify

the path of the walk, which is

sponsored by The Ward Mel-

ville Heritage Organization.

“We wanted to get the high

school more involved than ever

before,” Durko said in an in-

terview earlier this year. “A lot

of people are getting excited

about it now.”Durko helped add new fea-

tures to the event, including

a special Color Splash walk,

on which participants are

dusted with a rainbow of col-

ored powders as they make

their way to the finish line.

She also launched a subgroup,

the Walk for Beauty Ambas-

sadors, to push the event’s

ambitions even further, creat-

ing a network of students from

local high schools, including

Port Jefferson, Smithtown,

Shoreham-Wading River, Half

Hollow Hills, Walt Whitman,

Harborfields, Centereach,

Comsewogue and more.“Kyra was a true breath of

fresh air for all of us,” said

Gloria Rocchio, president of

WMHO. “She came onto our

committee and worked so hard

to pull together so many dif-

ferent parts of the community.

She’s an extraordinary young

lady and she will go very far.”

Rocchio met Durko after

Suffolk County Legislator

Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), a

member of the WMHO com-

mittee, sought out the girl

while paying a visit to Ward

Melville High School, looking

to bring her in on planning the

Walk for Beauty.Hahn first met Durko

through her role with the Key

Club and said she saw an im-

mediate opportunity. The two

worked together on new ideas

for the annual walk, and Hahn

said she saw Durko’s ambition

and creativity right away.“We put the Key Club in

charge of some things, and she

was just extraordinary,” Hahn

Young student makes strong impression on North Shore community

DURKO continued on page A22

‘She went above

and beyond to

spearhead so many

things related to this.

Her organizational

skills are phenomenal.

The list goes on and on.

The things she

has taken on to help

with this event are

really amazing.’

County cops make canine rescue in North Shore fireCommack woman drops dog out bedroom window, jumps from burning house as firefighters battle blazeBy Elana Glowatz

A Commack woman and her dogs Marlo and Bo were saved from their burning home Friday morning, with the help of two firefighters and a police officer.

The Suffolk County Police Depart-ment said 45-year-old Elyssa Roth dropped Marlo out of her bedroom window into the responders’ arms, then jumped out herself. Bo was later saved from inside the house.

It all started shortly before 9:30 a.m., when someone called 911 to report the fire on Suttonwood Drive, police said. Officer David Mascarella from the 4th Precinct and Commack Fire Depart-ment volunteers Bernie Simoes and Paul Carnevale responded to find heavy smoke and limited visibility at the

burning home. The heavy flames and intense heat prevented Mascarella and Simoes from going inside, police said.

The responders convinced Roth to drop Marlo the dog from her second-floor bedroom window, then she fol-lowed, and the men caught her. Bo was found inside the house and treated at an animal hospital.

That second dog was not the only one who needed medical attention. Police said Roth and Mascarella were treated for smoke inhalation at Stony Brook University Hospital and at Smithtown’s St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center, respectively. The pair of firefighters were treated for respiratory distress at the scene of the blaze.

According to police, arson detectives have determined the fire had a non-criminal cause.

Legislature looks at payment plans for ticketed driversBy Phil Corso

The Suffolk County Legislature is looking to put the brakes on its “pay now, or else” approach when it comes to fines levied to ticketed drivers.

Lawmakers have tasked the county’s Traffic and Parking Violations Agency with developing a payment program for the fines it levies to motorists within 90 days. If approved by the Legislature, the plan could allow nonmoving violators to pay their fines in installments, rather than the current system which requires one lump sum, due immediately.

It all started when Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) said she was approached by one of her constituents who claimed to be threatened with a driver’s license suspen-sion if he did not pay his nonmoving ticket fine in one full installment.

“The revocation of a driver’s license should be reserved for violators who en-danger public safety, not for someone unable to pay a fine on the day it is im-posed,” she said.

The county currently has close to $2.3 million in outstanding tickets, lawmak-ers said. Hahn said that unpaid fines, fees and surcharges associated with parking tickets are often not collected or prove costly to collect and can result in lost revenue for the county government and taxpayers. A payment plan option,

Hahn added, is a win-win, because it helps struggling Suffolk County citizens meet their obligations to both their fam-ilies and to the county.

“A deterrent should never become a detriment, nor should the sting of a ticket ever become the hunger pains of a child,” Hahn said. “While these fines are supposed to serve as a financial de-terrent to behavior that puts the public at risk, when unaffordable penalties are imposed and become due immediately, our residents are forced to make deci-sions that are counter to our values and to the public interest.”

County Legislator Kate Browning (WF-Shirley), who serves as chair of the Legislature’s Public Safety Committee, said punitive measures are intended to be teaching moments, rather than a road to economic ruin. She applauded the steps the county was taking in allowing tick-eted motorists more time to pay fines.

“I congratulate Legislator Hahn for bringing this issue forward,” Browning said. “As a co-sponsor of the bill, I agree that no one should have to make a choice between putting food on the table for their family or paying a fine. Failure to pay causes a person to have a suspended license and potentially lose their em-ployment. A payment plan for middle and low income residents will benefit the resident and the agency.“

Violators cited in New York City have the option of paying fines through an in-stallment plan which requires that a por-tion of the fee be paid at the time of con-viction, followed by monthly payments, with a 9 percent interest charge until the debt is paid in full. Suffolk’s eventual plan may take a similar form as the SCTPVA develops its own program, Hahn said.

The directive to the SCTPVA now goes

to County Executive Steve Bellone for fi-nal approval. Then, once the SCTPVA de-velops its plan, the Legislature will have an opportunity to evaluate the proposal and decide whether to implement it.

“Punishment without mercy does not serve this county or its residents,” Hahn said. “I encourage the county executive to sign this bill as it advances the central tenant of fairness in justice.”

Smithtown gets state grant fundsGovernment efficiency program yields results with six-figure grantsBy Phil Corso

The Town of Smithtown has been awarded two effi-ciency grants, courtesy of the state, Supervisor Pat Vec-chio (R) said in a statement.

New York State has awarded Smithtown a total of $902,363 to help the town continue its regional fuel facility consolidation project and another $288,750 to help its regional storm water management initiatives, Vecchio said. The grants came as part of the state’s lo-cal government efficiency program, which encourages projects that will achieve savings and improve munici-pal efficiency through shared services and consolida-tions.

The regional fuel facility consolidation project was created to expand and update fueling stations in order to consolidate fueling operations among municipalities within the township, Vecchio said. In addition to cost savings, the project should improve the town’s fueling needs in the event of large-scale disasters like a hurri-cane, the supervisor said.

Smithtown’s fueling station is located at the town’s highway department. The new facility, Vecchio said, will have a larger capacity for fuel reserves, use backup generators and have a computerized monitoring system to protect the environment and control fuel inventory. Smithtown municipal partners, including the Village of Nissequogue, the Village of the Branch and the Village of Head of the Harbor should be using this upgraded facility along with Smithtown, St. James, Kings Park, Nesconset, Hauppauge and the Commack fire districts.

In August, Vecchio was authorized to submit a grant application for funding the Regional Stormwater Man-agement Initiative through the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation water improvement pro-gram. He said funding from that grant allows the town to implement its stormwater management program in partnership with the villages of Nissequogue, Head of the Harbor and Village of the Branch.

“These two grants move us in the right direction,” Vecchio said in a statement. “It is projects like these that give the town, the villages and the fire districts an opportunity to modernize facilities, share and improve services while reducing the tax burden.”

The project included the maintenance of storm wa-ter catch basins throughout the town and the villages and the purchase of a vacuum truck that will be shared by all four municipalities. Proper maintenance of the basins should reduce the amount of contaminated sedi-ment entering the ground waters, Stony Brook Harbor and Millers Pond, Vecchio said.

St. James student interns with ZeldinKyle Persaud, a 10th-grader attending The Knox School located in St. James, is

avidly pursing his dreams of working for the United Nations. Persaud understands the importance of learning about his government as well as governments of other nations. This month he was just appointed as a junior intern in the office of U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley). Zeldin, representative for New York’s 1st Congressional District, met Persaud in late November. Persaud attended the drug awareness confer-ence, listening closely on drug awareness for his foundation called KB Operation Hope, an international organization with causes for providing educational and medi-cal necessities to international children from all walks of life.

Because of his admiration for politics, Persaud sent his resume to Zeldin’s second in command. Having an outstanding resume for his age, as a leader and founder of three clubs on The Knox School campus and having community service hours allot-ted toward his most admiral causes, Persaud went to the district office in Patchogue, local to his home in Miller Place. This meeting was full of all the great knowledge that Persaud is pursuing for his future, and his constant care and consideration for others.

Persaud is also ahead of the curve by being invited to a global student UN. He was hand-selected as the only student from New York — all others are from New Jersey. Persaud was voted by Student Global Ambassador Project to join this conference, which this year has a focus on the new Sustainable Development Goals, working for helping end extreme poverty in the world by 2030.

Students will research, discuss and analyze cross culturally to decide on the most attainable and solutions to their specific global issues. Students leaders will meet online to draft a Plan of Action that will culminate at the United Nations in the early 2016 to discuss which solutions are manageable and which solutions are not realistic. With this in mind, the world should keep on its toes for when Persaud graduates from The Knox School, for he is on the path to eternal kindness toward the community.

Marines visit Harbor Country Day SchoolOn Wednesday, Dec. 16, United States Marines from the Sixth Commu-

nications Battalion, Alpha Company, in Farmingdale visited Harbor Coun-try Day School in St. James to collect thousands of toys donated to the Suf-folk County Toys for Tots program.

Harbor Country Day has contributed to the Toys for Tots drive for more than 25 years. In 2014, the Marines collected more than 4,000 toys from Harbor Country Day. In addition to collecting toys from its own students, Harbor Country Day serves as a drop-off location for members of the sur-rounding community.

JORGENSENContinued from page A1

Smithtown Supervisor Pat Vecchio (R) said in an October statement.

In April, Jorgensen was charged with tampering with public records, falsifying business records, filing false records, official misconduct and grand larceny, Suffolk County District Attor-ney Tom Spota said. Initially, Jorgensen pleaded not guilty to the charges.

At the time, Jorgensen, of St. James, was accused of altering road construc-tion reports and stealing a public work order for an improper repaving. He tried to conceal his approval of pav-ing at least eight Smithtown streets in freezing temperatures last November

and then directed a highway foreman to alter the record of the weather con-ditions done during the repaving work.

Jorgensen had also been accused of sexual harassment involving his for-mer secretary. The town was issued a notice of claim alleging he sexually harassed her in December. The claim also alleged he had taken her out to job sites, out to eat and eventually fired her after finding out she was dating an em-ployee of the highway department.

District attorney detectives found work orders for the improper repaving jobs hidden under Jorgensen’s bed at his Hope Place residence in St. James.

Jorgensen worked for the Smithtown Highway Department for 37 years, and won election for highway superintendent in 2009 and 2013.

Defense won the Bulls this basketball game.

The Smithtown West boys’ basketball team came out block-ing shot after shot against a tall West Islip team, outscoring the competition 55-28 in its League III opener.

“I loved the defensive inten-sity. The defense is our backbone this year,” Smithtown West head coach Mike Agostino said. “We like to hold a team under 30

points. We have to defend, we have to help each other and play pressure defense, and that’s what gives us extra possessions and gets us extra shots.”

Although the Bulls won by a wide margin, the game wasn’t al-ways that way.

After more than three minutes of play, both teams were scoreless. It wasn’t until the 4:36 mark that senior Matt English nailed the tail end of his free-throw attempts to get the first point on the board.

A minute went by until the team scored again, with senior Doug Levy coming up with a big block before sophomore Chris Crespo intercepted an inbound pass and converted it for two points. After another Levy block,

West Islip called a timeout.“The first half, we didn’t get

shots to fall, but we were play-ing really good defense,” Cre-spo said. “Shots blocked, a lot of steals, points on turnovers and a lot of good stuff like that, so I think the defense really helped us win this game.”

At the 1:11 mark, English scored on a putback to extend the Bulls’ lead to 5-0, but a West Islip field goal and three-pointer sand-wiching junior Kyle LaGuardia’s free throw and field goal off a re-bound on his own free-throw miss brought the score to 8-5 at the end of the first quarter.

Crespo started off the second stanza with a three-pointer, and after a West Islip field goal, Levy added a putback and junior Gor-don Shouler followed with a three-pointer of his own to extend the team’s lead to 16-7.

“Going into the second and es-pecially in the third quarter, we were really getting our shots to fall,” Crespo said. “And still, the defense continued to remain strong.”

By the halftime break, Smith-town West had doubled West Is-lip’s score, 24-12.

“We don’t shoot as much as other teams have, but we do have plenty of guys that can shoot and get hot quick,” Agostino said. “We just have to find our rhythm, but this is only our second game.”

English and senior guard

Nick Grande powered the Bulls through the third. First, English began the scoring with a putback, and after four West Islip points, Grande started off his scoring for the evening with a field goal.

English swished two free-throw points, and West Islip scored a field goal of its own, but Grande answered back when he converted a putback for two.

West Islip grabbed another re-bound, but Grande nailed a three-pointer to extend the Bulls’ lead to 37-18. The two teams traded field goals again and West Islip tacked on a two free throws to bring the score to 39-22.

“Everything starts on defense and I think we played four full quarters of defense, so that’s al-ways going to keep you in the game,” Grande said.

What helped the team besides its defense was having a myriad of players that can score. Eight differ-ent players contributed to the team’s total score, which isn’t common.

“When other teams are getting fatigued, we’re still rotating new guys in,” Grande said. “It definite-ly puts a lot of pressure on them to keep up with us.”

Five different players scored in the fourth quarter, and by midway through the final eight minutes, Agostino was able to swap in his bench players to get playing time.

Grande and Shouler finished with 11 points each, Crespo added

eight with six assists and three re-bounds, and English scored seven points and had seven rebounds.

“Even those guys that are com-ing in late in the game, they’re doing the same thing,” the head coach said. “They’re defending, they’re being aggressive, they’re rebounding and it’s those constant waves of aggression that are com-ing at teams that I think can really help us down the line.”

Agostino would like to see some improvements in the team’s offensive game, but so far, he likes what he’s seeing.

“Once that happens,” he said of the progression throughout the season, “I think we’ll be really tough to beat.”

Smithtown West travels to Newfield today, with tipoff scheduled for 5:45 p.m.

Kiko-Nov. 5, 2015 was my 3 year anniversary at the shelter. Not many people want a black & white, 75 lb. dog, even if I am full of love. I love to play with other dogs at the park when someone takes me, but most days I just sit in my kennel. Come visit all our dogs and cats at the Smithtown Animal Shelter.

Fitz fitsTo The ediTor:

I am pleased to announce that New York Farm Bureau has named Assemblyman Michael Fitzpatrick (R-St. James) to our annual Circle of Friends list.

This legislative award is based upon his record of legislative support for New York agriculture and Farm Bureau’s public policies. New York Farm Bureau is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse elected officials or

political candidates.Assemblyman Fitzpatrick joins

legislators from both sides of the aisle in the Senate and Assembly who have a superior voting record on issues of concern to New York farmers during the 2015 state legislative session.

New York Farm Bureau, the state’s largest general farm advo-cacy organization, works closely with the legislature to strengthen agriculture in New York and build on its economic importance in every region of the state. Over the past year, we have worked to

reduce regulatory fees for farms, improve law enforcement train-ing for animal cruelty laws and increase funding for education, conservation and agricultural research. These and many other accomplishments this year would not have been possible without the support from lawmakers like Assemblyman Fitzpatrick.

EDITORIAL

Parents: it’s safe to hover with this one

Most kids see hoverboards as the next hot toy, but they don’t know how literal that is.

U.S. Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) spoke this week about the dangers of hoverboards shipped from overseas, with batteries that have sometimes burst into flames. He said the type of battery being used in foreign-made hover-boards is unstable if not stored and charged properly.

While this problem certainly seems like the most dangerous reason not to buy a hover-board this holiday season, there are certainly more concerns shoppers should consider before pulling out their credit cards or reaching into their wallets. These boards are not only a fun way to pass the time, but also a serious piece of machinery.

There are hundreds of videos of kids display-ing their skills and tricks on hoverboards, as well as many videos of kids wiping out as they try to learn how to maneuver. Everyone who operates a hoverboard should exercise caution with these new devices, for themselves and for those around them, as they make their way into the mainstream.

These machines gain speed quickly, and have a delicate temperament, so a slight shift in weight can quickly turn into a crash. Parents should consider requiring their kids to wear helmets while riding hoverboards, and should talk to them about how to operate one safely, such as by keeping a certain distance away from pedestrians and staying within certain speeds.

When someone starts the ignition of a car, that person is expected to drive safely, think-ing about other drivers and pedestrians on the road. The same should go for anyone on hover-boards, or any other motorized ride.

Finding excuses for musical procrastination

My children are excel-lent musicians. OK, so I’m a little biased

because I love music, I’m kind of fond of them, too, and I have worked with them on their de-veloping skills.

What they’re even better at than playing music, however, is finding ways not to play it. Well, I mean, ways not to play their instruments. They’re perfectly

D. None of the aboveby DaNiel DuNaief

content to play all kinds of mu-sic including, to my surprise, country music. Many of my daughter’s adolescent friends are also fond of this genre which, on the Eastern Sea-board, seems about as typical as a 65-degree, mid-December day. Is global warming moving country music north?

Anyway, my children have developed ways to put off prac-ticing. There’s the hunger ex-cuse: “No, no, seriously, Dad, if you could feel inside my stom-ach, you’d know I’m starving.”

When the food arrives, they are far too busy laughing out loud to notice.

“I am hungry, it’s just that I had to send this text message now. It’s urgent.”

When I take the phones away, they insist someone will be stranded in the metaphori-cal frozen bus station in Alaska, with polar bears closing in and their friend’s only defense is a text message that will send a tone that terrifies bears.

Back to music, or not. So, now that we’re five years into their music education, their procrastination playbook in-cludes headaches, cold sores and tired eyes that can’t possibly read such small notes. Crying “wolf” too many times, when I’ve seen them bouncing around the house after their headaches rendered them unable to prac-tice, has made me less inclined to believe them.

But, then, last week, my son picked up his instrument and, within seconds, had developed a serious case of the hiccups. One of the many genetic gifts from my father are these hiccups that cause fish to change direc-tions in nearby tanks, birds to fly from their trees and heads to swivel in the direction of that sudden violent, two-toned sound. Even when they were in my wife’s uterus, our children caused her stomach to jump, as if they were miniature maracas.

Before he could play a note, my son increased the tempo of

his hiccups, generating a violent and explosive noise. While I was annoyed that he wasn’t playing when he promised to practice, I admit that I was impressed that I was outmaneuvered by an ad-olescent, hiccuping diaphragm.

A friend has this technique where she drinks from the op-posite side of a glass while hold-ing her nose. I’ve seen it work before, but I’m not sure I’d want to try it with my son without an EMT present. I had him try my method, which involves holding his breath for as long as he can, taking a small breath and then repeating the process. I figure it’s a way of starving the dia-phragm of air until it goes back to its usual job. He gamely tried, but it didn’t work. I even scared him by telling him about all the standardized tests coming in the next several years. That was similarly ineffective.

When I gave up, I saw a small Mona Lisa-type grin on the corners of his mouth which formed as he pulled his un-

used instrument apart and put it back in its case. I wondered how, if he had so much control over his diaphragm, he might use that power constructively? Then I remembered the Ameri-can military blasts unpalatable music to force drug dealers and foreign leaders out of their homes. Maybe instead of pop music making these dictators wilt, the military could blast the sound of violent hiccups. “OK, guys nothing’s working, let’s bring in the diaphragm.”

The disappearing middle class

Many of the college students have now finished their finals

and ended their fall semester. It seems that as college costs increase, classroom time de-creases, but maybe that’s just my faulty memory. In any event, who are these students that have now been released into what we used to call “intersession” and will eventually go on to graduate with their bachelor’s degrees? Statistics tell us that 77 percent of them come from

families in the top 25 percent of household incomes but only 9 percent are from families in the bottom 25 percent of incomes.

What does that mean? If you believe that education is the ladder to a financially success-ful life, that startling disparity among college graduates is tell-ing us that social mobility has drastically declined in America. Put another way, America is no longer the land of opportunity it once was, attracting the am-bitious from all over the world with the promise of the Ameri-can Dream. It means that what you become in life depends more on who your parents and grandparents are than what skills you possess.

This conclusion is further reinforced by the information researchers have found about economic mobility here. A child born in the bottom quin-tile has only a 4 percent chance of rising to the top quintile, according to a Pew research study. Contrast that with Brit-ain, where the number is about 12 percent and Canada with

class advancement twice as likely as for the United States.

So we come back to the sub-ject of the growing gap between the haves and the have-nots in our country. This has been a vis-ible concern for at least the last 25 years. When my family and I were invited to the Bill Clin-ton White House in the early 1990s as part of an out-of-town press conference, we happened to meet David Gergen, the po-litical commentator and former presidential adviser, in the hall-way. As we chatted, my middle son asked Gergen what he thought was the major problem for the nation then, and he im-mediately referred to the grow-ing gap between rich and poor.

Who filled that gap in past decades? The answer is, the middle class, the engine for advancement in America and everywhere. Pretty much everyone then, and perhaps even now, described oneself as being in the middle class. But today the middle class is disappearing.

Why should we care?

Because the middle class is composed of the people who buy the goods and services that sustain the upper class, and without the former there can-not be an economically viable society. Inevitably if this situ-ation persists there will be ex-treme social unrest among the lower class, and to underwrite the country’s expenses the up-per class will be asked to shoul-der unbearable taxes. Further-more, intelligent and ambitious immigrants will pass us by as their ultimate destination, and will strike out for other shores where their prospects seem more promising. In fact that has already been happening on the graduate school level, as many of the most talented students choose countries like Germany in which to pursue their careers rather than the United States. If enough of the best and brightest go elsewhere, it could affect not just our economy but also the very security of our country.

The idea that our success de-pends on how our lives started rather than on our own hard

work and native abilities goes against the grain of the Ameri-can self-image. The columnist and author, Nicholas Kristof, wrote recently about this dis-tressing trend and asked why none of the candidates for presi-dent was speaking about how to change this direction.

As we approach the end of the year we, as a nation, are in-tensely caught up in the fright-ening problem of terrorists and how we can protect ourselves and our way of life from their horrible violence. But as we look ahead to the new year and the coming presidential election, not all threats to our country are so overt. Some, like this trou-bling income gap and its conse-quences, are more insidious and could prove more threatening and difficult to solve.

America is no longer the land

of opportunity it once was.

I was outmaneuvered

by an adolescent, hiccuping

diaphragm.
