The Suffolk County Leg-islature is looking to put the brakes on its “pay now, or else” approach when it comes to fines levied to tick-eted drivers.

Lawmakers have tasked the county’s Traffic and Parking Violations Agency with developing a payment program for the fines it lev-ies to motorists within 90 days. If approved by the Leg-islature, the plan could allow nonmoving violators to pay their fines in installments, rather than the current sys-tem which requires one lump

sum, due immediately.It all started when Legisla-

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

“The revocation of a driv-er’s license should be reserved for violators who endanger public safety, not for someone unable to pay a fine on the day it is imposed,” she said.

The county currently has close to $2.3 million in out-standing tickets, lawmakers

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.’

Three Village schools move on Common Core mathBy AndreA Moore PAldy

As Three Village continues to align its curriculum with the Common Core, its secondary math chairs recently shared how the district’s courses will help stu-dents meet the new challenges.

Donald Ambrose, math chair at Ward Melville High School, pointed out that the objective of Common Core math is not sim-ply to get the answer. “It’s examining the nuances” and having a deeper understand-ing of the numbers and their relationships, he said at last week’s board meeting.

“It’s definitely a lot more that’s going to be expected of our students,” he said.

Across the board, there is a greater focus on fewer topics, along with greater under-standing and fluency, said Laura McNa-mara, math chair at P.J. Gelinas Junior High. McNamara laid out the curriculum in detail from seventh grade to algebra II.

While students will learn to link math principles across grades, it will not be at the expense of broader understanding. In the shift toward greater alignment to the Common Core, students are being asked to “make sense of problems and persevere in solving them,” Ambrose said.

During the presentation, Ambrose explained that additional expectations for Common Core math include the ap-plication of abstract and quantitative reasoning, building logical mathemati-

cal arguments and critiquing the logic of others. Ambrose added that students should be able to understand math-ematical operations well enough to ap-ply them to real-life situations and use appropriate tools to solve problems. The more rigorous approach calls for preci-sion, an understanding of structure and higher-level reasoning, he said.

To achieve these goals, the district’s two junior high schools offer a variety of classes for students at varying levels. They range from lab classes for seventh- and eighth-graders who need additional support, to standard math, honors and honors theory classes, along with Re-gents algebra I and geometry.

R.C. Murphy math chair Rocco Vetro spoke about the importance of verti-cal integration — that is, fluidity from elementary school to junior high. To achieve this goal the seventh grades are now piloting Go Math!, the curricu-lum recently adopted in the elementary schools. Vetro also discussed the dis-trict’s efforts to provide professional de-velopment to help teachers implement the more rigorous standards.

At Ward Melville, in addition to the three Regents courses — algebra I and II and geometry — the high school of-fers several Advanced Placement (AP) courses, including calculus, statistics and computer science. Multivariable cal-

culus, which qualifies for college credit from Stony Brook University, also is be-ing offered. For students who complete multivariable calculus before their se-nior year, the math department plans to develop a course on differential equa-tions for 2017, Ambrose said.

The district’s high school students have traditionally outperformed their coun-terparts in the state on all three math Regents exams, both in passing rates and,

most particularly, in mastery rates. As the Regents and AP exams become aligned to the new standards, Three Village educa-tors have set a goal of increasing the al-ready high levels of student mastery.

Moving forward, long-term goals in-clude adding more upper level courses, as well as continued vertical articulation between elementary, junior high and high school levels and further integra-tion of classroom technology.

Blessing of the animals returns for a third year

The Setauket Presbyterian Church will hold its third annual family-friendly Christmas Eve manger service, with car-ols and blessing of animals, at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 24.

On the first Christmas Eve, it was the animals that made room in their stable for Mary and Joseph, the church said, in explanation of the manger service. Ac-cording to the old carol, it was the don-key that carried a very pregnant Mary all the way to Bethlehem. It was the cow who gave the baby her manger, full of hay, for his bed; the sheep who gave wool to keep him warm; the doves who sang him to sleep. The world wasn’t that different then from the way it is now. On the after-noon of Christmas Eve, as the day gives way to night, this will be a time to gather

and give thanks for the hospitality of the friendly beasts, the first to welcome the unknown baby to the world, and for the friendly beasts who warm our homes and our hearts today. In our uncertain world, they teach us everything we need to know about steadfast hope, unflag-ging patience and unconditional love.

Children from the Setauket Presby-terian Children’s Choir will sing “The Friendly Beasts,” in costume. Children of all ages, as well as animals of (almost) all sizes, are invited to come with their adult humans to the Setauket Presbyte-rian Church, 5 Caroline Ave. on the Vil-lage Green in Setauket, Thursday, Dec. 24, at 4:30 p.m.

Poquott adopts private road despite resident concerns

By Giselle Barkley

Residents living on Maybeck Drive in Poquott are no strangers to floods.

The private road, which lacks a water drainage system, is prone to flooding during rainy weather as water travels from higher roads in the area down to Maybeck Drive. Over time the excess water eroded parts of the road and al-lowed potholes to form. While the previ-ous owners maintained the road for the last several years, last year they failed to do so, making the roadway impassable.

But on Nov. 17, the Village of Poquott voted to acquire the south end of May-beck Drive in hopes of fixing the area.

While some residents supported the village’s decision to take over the road, some residents questioned the village’s plan. Typically, roads must be maintained before they’re transferred to the village. However, the village attorney assured res-idents this isn’t the first time the village took over a roadway that wasn’t main-tained. Despite this, the status of the area left some residents saying maintaining the road will affect residents in the area.

“It’s in pretty bad shape,” Barbara Donovan said about the road. “For the village to take it over at this point, it’s going to cost a lot of money.”

Donovan is the former mayor of Po-quott. She first dealt with negotiations re-garding Maybeck Drive in 2006 when the village sought ownership of the street. Ac-cording to Donovan, the board of trustees at the time held several meetings with the

previous owners. Despite continuous ne-gotiations about transferring the parcel to the village, the owners didn’t agree to transfer ownership until this year.

Mayor Dee Parrish was unavailable to comment on the issue prior to publi-cation. Although Trustee Jeff Koppelson is unsure why the owners stopped main-taining the parcel, he said the village is in a financial position to fix the road during a phone interview. He added that it would cost the village less money than if the owners fixed the area themselves. Plan-ning Board Chairman Roger Flood said he didn’t oppose the transfer of owner-ship to the village but said he suggested that the previous owners should contrib-ute to funding the road repairs. Koppel-son said the owners intend to do so.

Currently the village needs to repave the roadway and address drainage con-cerns to prevent future flooding. Kop-pelson said he addressed the concerns of residents who opposed the village’s decision to take ownership of the south end of Maybeck Drive. He compared the situation to paying school related taxes. Residents argued that even after their kids graduate from school, taxpayers must continue paying those taxes. It is a similar case when it comes to maintain-ing roadways in the village.

“The reason is, is because it goes to-ward the community. It’s part of living in a community, especially a small vil-lage,” Koppelson said relating paying school taxes to using taxpayer dollars to fund road repairs.

Photos by Giselle Barkleyresidents say Maybeck Drive in the Village of Poquott is in need of road repairs after various issues related to flooding destroyed the street.

East Broadway brawlPolice arrested a 55-year-old wom-

an from Centereach for harassment around midnight on Dec. 12, minutes after she shoved someone and made harassing comments at Danfords Hotel & Marina on East Broadway in Port Jefferson.

Parking lot larcenyAn unidentified person entered

a parking lot on East Main Street in Port Jefferson and stole a purse, iPod and phone charger from a parked car. Police didn’t specify the car’s make and model or if it had been unlocked at the time of the Dec. 12 incident, but there was no sign of a break-in.

said. Hahn said that unpaid fines, fees and surcharges associated with park-ing tickets are often not collected or prove costly to collect and can result in lost revenue for the county govern-ment and taxpayers. A payment plan option, Hahn added, is a win-win, be-cause it helps struggling Suffolk Coun-ty citizens meet their obligations to both their families 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 deterrent to behavior that puts the public at risk, when unaf-fordable penalties are imposed and become due immediately, our resi-dents are forced to make decisions 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 Com-mittee, 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 ticketed mo-torists 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 put-ting 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 employ-ment. 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 installment plan which re-quires that a portion of the fee be paid at the time of conviction, 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 Bel-lone for final approval. Then, once the SCTPVA develops 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 resi-dents,” Hahn said. “I encourage the county executive to sign this bill as it advances the central tenant of fair-ness in justice.”

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.”

Behind junior Taylor Tripptree’s 18 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, the Ward Melville girls’ basketball team was able to edge ahead of nonleague competitor Islip Saturday and maintain its ad-vantage after the first quarter to earn a 55-49 victory.

“I think we honestly played a very, very good game,” Tripptree said. “They’re a very good team and we did what we had to do to do against two Divi-sion I and two Division II girls. We played as a team and I think that’s what won us the game.”

Islip got on the board first with two free throws, but a free throw by junior Julia Co-letti and a layup by Tripptree put the team out in front, 3-2. The two teams continued to trade scores, with junior guard Brooke Pikiell scoring a three-pointer and a layup and Tripptree adding another field goal, but at the end of the first, the teams were in a stalemate at 10-10.

“We really need to work on our second-shot opportunities and staying in [to] help

against a big girl,” Tripptree said.Ward Melville had trouble sinking its

shots, but during the second stanza, the Patriots began to find their rhythm. Islip scored first, again, and made another field goal to jump out in front, 14-10, but the lead didn’t last for long.

With 5:12 left in the half, Tripptree tacked on a three-pointer of her own to pull within one, 14-13, and senior Heidi Scarth scored two field goals, the first off an assist from Pikiell, to give the Patriots the lead for good.

Ward Melville rounded out the scoring for the first half with a three-pointer to bring the score to 22-18.

Junior Kiera Ramaliu opened the third with a long field goal, and Islip edged close after a field goal and two free-throw points, but the Pa-triots wouldn’t let the Bucca-neers stay close for long.

Tripptree began a six-point scoring run with a field goal, and Piki-ell scored twice in a row to put the Patriots up 30-22.

Tripptree assisted on her team’s next points, and followed it up with another la-yup, and at the end of three quarters, Ward Melville was ahead 40-29.

“You’ve gotta run and you’ve gotta pres-sure,” Ward Melville head coach Bruce Haller told his girls on the sidelines before the start of the final stanza.

And the girls raced across the court and

pressured the ball, converting turnovers and forcing steals to trip up Islip.

“We prepared for this a lot,” Pikiell said. “We made sure we knew their zone and we knew who their good kids were, and we just made sure we had a body on them at all times. I think we ran and tired them out a lot, and I think we re-ally worked together on defense, which helped against their bigger girls.”

The teams continued to trade points, but

Ward Melville managed to maintain its ad-vantage to pull away with the win.

Behind Tripptree was Pikiell with nine points, and Scarth with eight, but five other girls also scored.

“Everyone contributed to this,” Pikiell said. “We’ve come together very well. We only lost one player last year and a couple of players came up, but we were all already very close beforehand, so I think we’re play-ing great together.”

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.

OPINION

Holiday cheerTo The ediTor:

I wish to thank everyone from the St. James Roman Catholic Church, especially the Religious Education Depart-ment, who, once again, provid-ed a beautiful Christmas dinner for all the residents of Echo Arms on the grounds of their church on Dec. 13, 2015.

Providing their own trans-

portation to and from Echo Arms in Port Jefferson Station, the residents were treated to a sumptuous Christmas dinner and generous gifts — every one of them. This is a tradition that has been going on for as long as I can remember.

If ever there was an act in the true spirit of Christmas, it is this festive dinner. In the true tradition of St. James — and, of course, Jesus — this is a reflec-

tion of the church’s historic com-mitment to the poor, the elderly, the orphaned and widowed.

Wishing you all blessings for a merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

Harry KatzEcho Arms staff

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 hoverboards 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.
