City’s attorney advises tax cap in no longer validLACONIA — City attorney Judith

Whitelaw yesterday confi rmed that the New Hampshire Supreme Court deci-sion that the property tax cap adopted by voters of Manchester last year is contrary to state law also renders the Laconia tax cap unlawful.

The justices ruled that the tax cap violates state law by requiring a super-majority of

two-thirds of the board of mayor and alder-men to override the limit the cap imposes on the increase in the annual city budget. The justices found that the statutes gov-erning the municipal budget process (RSA 49-C:23) and the conduct of meetings (RSA 49-C:12, I) stipulate that boards of alder-men and city councils conduct business by simple majority votes. They noted that when the Legislature intended to require two-thirds majorities, such as for supple-

mental appropriations and bond issues, it enacted specifi c statutes prescribing them.

The new Republican super-majorities in both the N.H. House and Senate are expected to deal with the court’s decision in 2011 by enacting legislation that would expressly authorize municipalities to enact property tax caps by majority votes.

Like the Manchester ordinance, Laconia’s tax cap requires a super-majority of two-

LACONIA — Over the course of this year, a symbiotic relationship has developed between owners of downtown Laconia buildings and busi-nesses and a group of local artists looking for a place to market their work.

The partnership began in May, when four local artists – Marcy Yerkes, Marcia Haughey, Jeri Bothamley and Mary Lou John – moved into a storefront at 54 Canal Street. The storefront, like several others in downtown, was vacant at the time, and building owner Robert Sawyer offered

The smell of something cooking, downtownthem a deal they couldn’t pass up. He allowed them to use the space as a studio and gallery for free, they’d only have to pay for their heat and electric-ity. In exchange, the artists gave the space a fresh coat of paint and a new look.

The work was noticed, and Sawyer was pleased to report that the space was nice enough to attract a paying tenant, an interior designer, who will move in after the fi rst of the year. Sawyer liked the arrangement so much he asked the artists, doing business as the Paintbox Studio and Gallery, for another round, this time in the storefront at 50

LACONIA — After listening to a presen-tation by administra-tors, the School Board last night said it will have it’s revised policy on bullying ready for a fi rst reading by Dec. 21.

Redrafted to be consistent with New Hampshire’s new law on bullying in schools, Board Chair Bob Das-satti said he expects to hold public input and information sessions before then.

Policy Committee Chair Chris Guilmett said the subcommit-tee is working with a sample bullying policy put out by the New Hampshire School Board Association and has tweaked it to be Laconia-specifi c.

The new law also redefi nes bullying as any single or multiple acts directed against another student said Middle School Assis-tant Principal Chris Ennis.

He said if it causes emotional distress, if it interferes with edu-cation, if it creates a hostile environment or if it causes a sub-

LACONIA — The city’ Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Commit-tee last night placed the reconstruction of the Main Street bridge, where Beacon Street East and Beacon Street West join Main Street at the Win-nipesaukee River, as its highest priority for the 2011-2012 budget.

Moynihan said that Dubois & King, Inc. consult-ing engineers, inspected and evaluated the bridge and reported in June. They found that the main abut-ments and much of the substructure, apart from one pier at the center, are sound. Director of Public Works Paul Moynihan said the entire superstructure of the bridge — the deck, rails and sidewalks — must be replaced and a pier at the center of the bridge removed. He estimated the cost of the project at $2.5-million, of which the state bridge aid program will pay 80-percent.

A royal wedding next year

SAYWHAT...My children are not royal; they just happen to have the Queen for their aunt.”

—Princess Margaret

LONDON (AP) — Thirty years after the fairy-tale nuptials with the unhappy ending, Britain will finally have another big royal wed-ding: Its dashing helicopter-pilot prince — second in line to the throne — will marry the lovely commoner who may someday become queen.

Prince William and Kate Middleton bubbled with joy Tuesday evening in their first public appear-ance since the palace announced their engage-ment after more than eight years of dating. Their wed-ding will be next spring or summer.

In a poignant symbol for William, his betrothed wore the sapphire and diamond engagement ring that belonged to his late mother, Diana.

“I thought it was quite nice because obviously she’s not going to be around to share any of the fun and excitement of it all. This was my way of keep-ing her close to it all,” Wil-liam said.

While the romance of the two 28-year-olds is the stuff that dreams are made of, it is no exaggeration to say that the future of the Windsor dynasty depends to no small degree on the success of their union.

“We’re hugely excited. We’re looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together,” William said in the televised inter-view.

MARKET

WINDY

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell for a fourth day Tuesday as concerns over a slowdown in China and talks about a bail-out for Irish banks combined to push the Dow Jones industrial average to its largest one-day loss since August.

Asian markets started a global sell-off after South Korea’s central bank raised interest rates to curb inflation. Shares also fell in Shanghai and Hong Kong as specu-lation spread that China will take more steps to control the pace of its rapidly-growing economy, which would dampen global demand for industrial goods.

“The fact that China is taking actions to tighten things up over there is having a big ripple effect here,” said Bruce Simon, the chief investment officer at Ballentine Partners.

In Brussels, European finance ministers

Stocks sink on worries about inflation in Asia & banks in Irelandended a meeting without an agreement to bail out Ireland. However officials there said they’re moving ahead with preparations to support the country’s troubled banks.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 178.47, or 1.6 percent, to 11,023.50. It dipped below 11,000 during the day for the first time since Oct. 20. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Home Depot Inc. were the only two companies to rise among the 30 stocks that make up the Dow.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 19.41, or 1.6 percent, to 1,178.34. The Nasdaq composite index fell 43.98, or 1.8 percent, to 2,469.84.

All 10 industry groups in the Standard and Poor’s 500, the index followed by most professional money managers, fell. Com-panies in the materials and energy indus-tries lost the most ground. Both groups fell

more than 2 percent.Commodities prices also fell sharply as

investors shed riskier assets and antici-pated weaker demand for basic materials from China. The dollar jumped 0.9 percent against an index of six other currencies as investors sought safety.

Stock indexes have risen sharply since October following strong corporate earnings reports and the introduction of a $600 bil-lion stimulus plan by the Federal Reserve. Some investors may have taken the global economic concerns as an opportunity to sell.

As Asian countries dealt with excessive economic growth and inflation, European finance ministers discussed a bailout for Ireland’s banks in hopes of preventing another crisis of confidence in Europe’s financial system. The country has so far refused any outside financial assistance.

DETROIT (AP) — Investor demand for General Motors stock has been so strong that the company will expand its initial public offering by 31 percent, to 478 mil-lion common shares, a person briefed on the sale said Tuesday.

The move, coupled with an expected stock price of $33 per share, brings the U.S. government closer to getting back the $50 billion it spent bailing out GM last year.

If the government sells its 412 million shares on Thursday for $33 each, it will get $13.6 billion. It will still have about 500 million shares, or about 33 percent of GM. It would have to sell them for about $53 a

Expected demand for new GM stock pushes initial offering up 31%share, or $26.4 billion, for taxpayers to get their $50 billion back.

The increased number of shares could make GM’s IPO the largest in history for a U.S.-based company. If GM’s sale of preferred shares is included, the offering could have a total value of over $22 bil-lion, topping Visa Inc.’s $19.7 billion IPO in 2008, according to the IPO tracking firm Dealogic. It could even grow to become the world’s largest IPO.

GM is expected to announce the final price of the IPO on Wednesday and shares will start trading the following day, accord-ing to the person, who asked not to be iden-

tified because he is not authorized to speak publicly about the sale.

Most of the additional shares will be sold by the U.S. government, said the person. A union health care trust would sell a small part of the added shares, the person said.

In addition, bankers handling the GM sale will take an option to sell another 72 million shares. That would bring the total value of the 550 common shares for sale in the IPO to $18.1 billion.

GM will sell preferred shares worth $4 billion, bringing the total value of the deal to just over $22 billion.

CONCORD (AP) — Gov. John Lynch announced Tuesday he will nominate Supreme Court Justice Linda Dalianis to be the court’s first-ever female chief justice.

The governor also said he will nominate Superior Court Chief Justice Robert Lynn to fill the vacancy on the high court created by Chief Justice John Broderick’s retirement at the end of the month.

Lynch will present the names to the Executive Council on Wednesday. The council must hold hear-ings and approve the nominations.

Lynch, a Democrat, is moving ahead with the nominations before a new, all-Republican Executive Council is sworn in in January. The council’s current makeup is three Democrats and two Republicans. The old council’s last scheduled meeting is Dec. 8.

Dalianis was the first woman named to the Supreme Court. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, then governor and the state’s first female governor, ele-vated Dalianis from the superior court in 2000 after she had served 20 years as a superior court judge.

“She has a strong reputation as a thoughtful jurist, with a sharp intellect and a deep commit-ment to justice,” Lynch said in a news release. “I am confident Justice Dalianis will lead the court system effectively into the future, ensuring fairness and jus-tice for our people.”

Dalianis can serve on the court until 2018 when she turns 70 and by law must retire.

Dalianis, who lives in Nashua, graduated from Northeastern University in 1970 and received her law degree from Suffolk University School of Law in 1974. She was in private practice until her appoint-ment to the superior court bench in 1980.

Lynn, of Windham, has served as chief justice of the superior court since 2004. He has been a supe-rior court judge since 1992.

“Judge Lynn has proven himself an outstand-ing and highly regarded judge with the ability to thoughtfully handle the most complex and challeng-ing cases. That is why I believe he will be a strong addition to our state’s highest court,” Lynch said.

Lynn graduated from the University of New Haven in 1971 and received his law degree from the University of Connecticut School of Law in 1975. He served as a federal prosecutor before being named to the court.

CONCORD (AP) — The company that owns the Mount Washington Hotel and Resort in New Hamp-shire has clarified the language used in its applica-tion to trademark the name.

Florida-based CNL Lifestyle Properties said Tues-day it has revised its application for the trademark to say it’s just for lodging services, such as a hotel or inn.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal safety officials want states to require all motorcycle riders to wear helmets, citing a surge in deaths since the late 1990s.

The National Transportation Safety Board says motorcycle deaths have increased over the last decade even as other traffic fatalities have declined.

The board said there were 4,400 motorcycle deaths

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s unemploy-ment rate is continuing to go down.

The state office of Employment Security says New Hampshire’s unemployment rate dropped one tenth of a percent in October to 5.4 percent from Septem-ber’s 5.5 percent.

The figures show the number of New Hampshire residents with jobs increased by almost 3,000 over September and it’s up more than 14,000 over Octo-

ton” would cover other businesses that use the name.CNL says it is focusing on three lodging busi-

nesses in northern New Hampshire that use “Mount Washington” in their names to get them to reach an agreement that would allow the Mount Washington Hotel to protect its name.

CNL bought the Bretton Woods hotel in 2006. The company they want to ensure the historic brand and name of the resort is protected.

Feds want states to required motorcycle helmets in the U.S. last year, more than in all aviation, rail, marine and pipeline accidents combined. Head injuries are the leading cause of death in motorcycle crashes.

The board said 20 states require all motorcycle riders to wear helmets. Most states have limited helmet requirements, and three states — Iowa, Illi-nois and New Hampshire — have no requirement.

Unemployment rate in New Hampshire dips slightly, to 5.4%ber 2009.

The state says about 705,000 New Hampshire residents are now working.

Gov. John Lynch says the statistics show New Hampshire is on the right track to economic recovery.

Lynch says the state must continue to get people back to work, which includes investing in job train-ing to ensure New Hampshire has the skilled work force needed to fill the jobs that are being created.

CONCORD — The executive branch will renew its effort to gain control of the New Hampshire Medi-cal Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association (JUA) tomorrow by seeking to persuade a legisla-tive committee to set aside the decision of the New Hampshire Supreme Court upholding the claim of policyholders to the surplus in the fund.

On the recommendation of Governor John Lynch,

Lynch administration making another bid for JUA ‘surplus’the Legislature included the $110-million of the surplus in his 2010-2011 budget.

Pat Buchanan

If it is the first responsibility of the Federal Reserve to protect the dollars that Americans earn and save, is it not dereliction of duty for the Fed to pursue a policy to bleed value from those dollars? For that is what Chairman Ben Bernanke is up to with his QE2, or “quantitative easing.”

Translation: The Fed is commit-ted to buy $600-billion in bonds from banks and pay for them by printing money that will then be deposited in those banks. The more dollars that flood into the economy, the less every one of them is worth.

Bernanke is not just risking infla-tion. He is inducing inflation.

He is reducing the value of the dollar to make U.S. exports more competitive and imports more expensive, so that we will consume fewer imports. He is trying to elimi-nate the U.S. trade deficit by treat-ing the once universally respected dollar like the peso of a banana republic.

Sarah Palin has nailed cold what Bernanke is about: “We shouldn’t be playing around with inflation. It’s not for nothing Reagan called it ‘as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.’ The Fed’s pump-priming addiction has got our small businesses running scared and our allies worried. The German finance minister called the Fed’s proposals ‘clueless.’ When Germany, a coun-try that knows a thing or two about the dangers of inflation, warns us to think again, maybe it’s time for Chairman Bernanke to cease and desist. We don’t want temporary, artificial economic growth bought at the expense of permanently higher inflation which will erode the value of our incomes and our savings.”

Egging Ben on is the Nobel-prize winning New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. Fed policy is too timid, says Krugman.

When Bernanke said we are not “going to try to raise inflation to a super-normal level,” he blew it, says Krugman, and “there goes the best chance the Fed’s plan might actu-ally work.” What the Fed should do, he says, is change expectations “by leading people to believe that we will have somewhat above-normal inflation ... which would reduce the incentive to sit on cash.”

But “sit on cash” is a definition of saving. Is saving bad? Once, Americans were taught that saving was a good thing. Not to Krugman. He wants to panic the public into believing the money they have put into savings accounts and CDs will be rapidly eaten up by Fed-created inflation, so they will run out and spend that money now to get the economy moving again.

Whatever the economics of this,

the morality of it is appalling.Imagine a husband and wife with

a bright child who are saving to send the boy to the best prep school, then Princeton, then, hopefully, Harvard or Yale Law, so the boy can realize his dream of being a great lawyer and perhaps one day sitting on the Supreme Court. Krugman is rec-ommending that the Fed goose the money supply to cause a general fear of inflation, so that couple will run and get their money out of the bank and start spending it, because, if they don’t, their own government will start destroying the value of their savings.

This is Weimar economics.As for inflation, are not the prices of

gold, silver, oil and other commodities flashing signals that it is on the way?

In denouncing Bernanke, even the Chinese are not all wrong. They have followed the monetary policy we created at Bretton Woods in 1944, where we tied the dollar to gold at $35 an ounce, while other nations tied their currencies to the dollar at fixed rates of exchange. China is being denounced for manipulating its currency when Beijing is adhering to a strict dollar-renminbi exchange rate, while our Fed is manipulating the dollar price to seek competitive advantage.

The other Chinese complaint is that they lent us trillions to buy Chi-nese goods and now we are robbing them by depreciating the dollar-denominated Treasury bonds they accepted in return for their goods. Pay back your banker in Monopoly money, and you will find you are soon unable to borrow from anyone anywhere.

In four years, the American people have delivered three straight votes of no confidence in the U.S. govern-ment. The Fed, however, retains a confidence that it does not deserve, when one considers that, when it was created in 1913, a $20 bill could be exchanged for a $20 gold piece.

Today, it takes seventy $20 bills to buy a $20 gold piece, which means the dollar can buy in 2010 what you could get for 2 pennies in 1910. Quite a record for a central bank set up to protect the dollar.

If Bernanke’s inflation does not generate growth, confidence in the Fed will also vanish. Then a crisis of capitalism will be at hand.

Historians will not deal kindly with the men who traded the horse of U.S. economic nationalism for the rabbit of the Global Economy.

LETTERSCommunity Band budget was $1,000 for 28 years; $1,500 for 4To the editor,

A previous letter sent in by a con-tributor about the reaction of the Gil-ford Community Band in these hard economic times shows how presenting the statement, “the band’s budget was not the only budget item that was cut”, as fact without listing actual facts (do we call this rhetoric?) will lead us to believe that the members and sup-porters of the band are a bunch of money-hungry citizens who refuse to give up their huge pork barrel fund-ing. So let’s look at some of the actual numbers and publications.

First is the fact that those indi-viduals hired to be responsible for the Gilford Recreation Department may be of the type who do not fully understand or care about the band in general. I would have to admit this is a deducted fact based on evidence where the band, though listed as a recreation activity in the town report, is not listed on the Parks and Recre-ation Department’s list of activities on their web page.

Fact 2: There are 48 programs listed in the town report for the Recreation Department. Thirty-three of those, or 69-percent, are sports or athletic-related programs. Three of those, or 6-percent, are arts related programs.

Fact 3: The entire 2009 Recreational Department budget was $205,447. The bands allotment of this budget is a whopping .7-percent (7 tenths of a percent).

Fact 4: The Town Plan shows the total benefactors or attendance of each program for the program year. The band is listed as 100+. This is a grossly understated number when you consider that there are typically around 75 musicians and the Wednes-day night concerts are attended by 100 to 200 people. This does not include the parade and concert for Old Home Day and the Christmas concert. This would bring the real number some-where above the 2000 mark.

Fact 5: I found it difficult to find the stipends paid to the coaches, instruc-tors and trip coordinators for the other rec programs, therefore I cannot make a statement on any of their cuts nor their education, certifications or qualification for their positions. I can, however compare a position that is listed. A lifeguard for the Parks and

Recreation Department earns roughly $13 per hour, starting salary. The requirements for this position require a certification that takes roughly 24 hours. The band director’s and assis-tant band director’s stipend comes out of the $1,500 band fund, after other expenses such as new music, program printing and more. When totaling up the hours compared to pay, this put the band director’s hourly rate at about $5 per hour before the 50-percent cut to the band funding. Old math would make that about…oh $2.50 an hour after the cut. The qualifications that the band director brings to this posi-tion are; BS Degree Music Education, MS Music Education (Master Degree), years of experience as a professional musician, conductor and more.

Fact 6: The Band budget was cut by 50-percent. What other recreational programs, coaches stipends etc. where cut by that amount?

Fact 7; The band has been a successful Recreation Department program start-ing in 1978, with a shoe string budget of $1,000. About four years ago this was increased to $1,500. If you take the original $1000 and calculate inflation differences the equal funding for this year alone would be equal to $3,538.

Fact 8; The Town of Gilford pays other community bands a lump sum for participating in the Old Home Day Parade.

What can now be deducted from the facts: For 32 years The Gilford Com-munity Band has been providing a high quality venue for local junior high and senior high school musicians in the Lakes Region as well as one of the highest levels of community band concert series for Gilford. These stu-dents get the opportunity to practice, learn and perform with adult musi-cians that include many professionals. The GCB has accomplished this on a meager $1,000 budget for 28 of those years and a $1,500 budget for the last four. In essence, the GCB has taken a continuous budget cut throughout its inception by not requesting an annual inflation differential. As stated by the current director, the band has looked into other means of financing and each has challenges that make them nonvi-able. Cutting the meager $1,500 GCB budget by any amount will more than

LETTERSBelieve it or not, there are some truly evil people in this worldTo the editor,

When I picked up the paper this morning I could have sworn it said “The Laconia Daily Sun” at the top. Unfortunately this paper has become The Leo R. Sandy Daily Sun, or better yet The Leo R. Sandy Manifesto on Liberalism. The more letters and col-umns I read from Mr. Sandy the more I realize his view of liberalism is in fact a mental disorder.

Mr. Sandy’s latest letter regarding the Cates murder conviction and the death penalty make no sense what so ever. Mr. Sandy states, “what these murder-ers did was immoral and killing them would be likewise immoral and teach the wrong lesson”. In a civilized soci-ety there are rules in which we live by and obey. If we break these rules there are consequences one has to face. The ultimate rule in society is murder, thus breaking this rule one should face the ultimate consequence. When a murder is committed in such a brutal sadistic manner a price has to be paid by the perpetrator. Its not about vengeance, bravery, or Mr. Sandy’s moral view. Its about maintaining order in a civilized society, maintaining the rules in which

most members of our society live by. Sadistic murderous behavior has a con-sequence and that consequence should be loss of the the one precious thing Kimberly Cates lost, life.

This is not a teachable lesson Mr. Sandy. It is a horrible act of brutality on two innocent human beings. An act against society that requires a drastic consequence. Unfortunately, in today’s society, a few individuals think they can break the rules and face no con-sequences for their actions. The con-sequence must be in direct proportion to the rule that was broken. Believe it or not Mr. Sandy, there are a few truly evil people in our society. Evil in the sense that regardless of how much you try to “prevent their emergence”, they will emerge, and they will wreck havoc on the innocent. The innocent, exactly like Kimberly Cates and her daughter. When evil strikes it always strikes against the innocent. It cannot be prevented and it certainly can never be excused, regardless of ones ideology, it just has to be dealt with. As severely as the act itself.

Portrayal of Meredith community & senior centers was way off baseTo the editor,

I would like to know the facts on which Anna DeRose based her com-ment that the “so-called Senior Center in MEREDITH” is “a dead building and ... a wasted space.” I don’t know if she is referring to the actual Senior Center or the Community Center in which it is located but I can tell her that in either case she is completely wrong. I can tell her this from a number of perspectives as a taxpayer, a senior and an employee working at the Community Center.

The Senior Center is a vibrant and well-attended program that provides meals and prepares meals-on-wheels from a state-of-the-art kitchen. It also provides social and exercise activi-ties to seniors within the Community Center. As for the Community Center, it is a hub in our community that is in constant use by people of all ages. It provides a space for non-profi t and

other groups to hold meetings and for various activities. It provides after-school and summer programs which are a boon to so many families with two working parents. It provides a safe place for children and adults for drop-in sports and recreational activi-ties. I have to add that the people in the Parks & Recreation Department and the Senior Center who work to provide these services are among the most professional and caring people I have known personally and profes-sionally. People regularly tell me how grateful they are to have the Commu-nity Center and so many from other towns have said how much they would like to have a facility such as ours.

I do agree with Ms. DeRose on one thing: putting MEREDITH in upper case letters. For me it represents the pride we have in our town and its people.

LETTERSFor the last 64 years, the U.S. has been the world’s police forceTo the editor,

Leo Sandy has maintained his spot as the best reason for good letter writers! Is that good? No way, all it shows is that Leo is consistent, in column and letters, in always being wrong, anti America, and anti logic or good sense, despite oth-erwise being a very nice guy!

His column of Nov. 12 is a classic. He raves on and on with mostly false or misleading claims. Then he coun-ters all of that with his only correct statement: What we need is a strong international police force that will make any country think twice about killing their own people or invading their neighbor.

We have that: the USA has for the last 64 years been that force! Where has Leo been for the last 64 years? Hey, wake-up Leo and observe the real world. Since the USA has taken on the nasty JOB of trying to protect the world, we have succeeded in minimiz-ing major confl icts everywhere. Never before have wars been less destruc-tive. Sadly, Leo ignores the gross evils in Africa by ignorant people who, like in old times, prefer to kill off their own people for no real gains. Obama should live there for a year or more.

Talking to Leo I conclude he is a nice guy, But then comes his off the wall anti-everything and everybody rant. Okay, due to his constant revolt against real working people, and sup-port for those like him living off the dole from working people, he invites

negative responses. What else did he expect? He has a wide audience of people who know a few good teach-ers, and suffered under many bad ones, (much like him), most grossly overpaid like him, and he actually expects us to believe his crap about the “value” of “tenure”? Tenure, like unions, is only desired by the gross failures who couldn’t keep a job with-out such destructive “protection”.

I see Leo and those like him as totally intolerant of real thinking and produc-tive people. He and those like him con-stantly insult others, like me, who have far more education, far more productive experience, far more real intelligence, and more important, much better understanding of everything! Sorry Leo, much as I like you as a friendly person, you must get friendlier to all: as I see it, ALL the letter writers who dis-agree with you are only trying to inform you and all the readers of the better way to be helpful. Yes, it comes across as negative, because they only see the wrong in your writings. But correcting a wrong, or any error, is the positive way to improvement. Learn from that. You must admire those few who are con-cerned enough about you that they take the time to write such helpful letters.

Leo, you have proved that you can write well on your own, so stop quot-ing from bad books, and stick to what you understand and know!

Income tax breaks for the top 2% have to be allowed to expireTo the editor,

Whether you’re a tea partier, a pro-gressive, or just anyone concerned about the issues facing the U.S., the mumble-mouthed talk coming out of Washington the last few weeks about taxes is cause for alarm. Over the last two decades, our democracy has been turning into a plutocracy, character-ized by government of the money, by the money and for the money, with policy for sale to the highest bidders. The 98-percent of us who aren’t the uber-rich too often see our pockets picked, and our country turned into a feedbag for Wall Street and the “to big to fail” banks.

If this trend is going to be reversed, and our economy revived on a stable foundation, a stand has to be made now, starting with the soon-to-expire Bush tax cuts. In order to make Amer-ica work again, the tax breaks for the top 2-percent have to be allowed to expire: no ifs, ands or buts. There are other tax shams that should also be wiped off the books, including:

— Those that go to corporations for shipping jobs overseas;

— Tax breaks for companies that keep their profi ts overseas and use gimmicks to credit American profi ts to overseas subsidiaries in order to avoid taxes;

— Tax breaks for companies that set up phony corporate headquarters at mailbox addresses in offshore tax havens;

— Tax deductions for corporate executive pay;

— The loophole that allows hedge fund managers to declare their income as capital gains, and thus pay half the tax rate that they should;

These tax scams do not stimulate the economy, grow new businesses or create jobs. They are giveaways that provide unearned pork for the heftiest of the porkers.

It would be heartening to see the president grow a pair, take a stand for something and draw a line in the sand. The administration should submit legislation to Congress that contains only the middle class por-tions of the Bush tax cuts. Then let Republicans and Blue Dogs, if they dare, obstruct, delay and hold aver-age Americans hostage to the greed of the richest of the rich. That would expose their phony populism, as well as expose the hypocrisy of their con-cern about budget defi cits.

Is this likely to happen? Don’t bet on it. The odds are that we’ll see a “compromise” or a “temporary exten-sion” that will once again sell out the 98-percent of Americans that do the work and make this country run. Sometimes it’s hard not to think about the T-shirt slogan that says “Politi-cians should dress like NASCAR driv-ers — at least then we’d know who their corporate sponsors are.”

LETTERSWe need to eat things are good for us; sugar is not one of themTo the editor,

It seems Obama is in our lives on everything. How about all the sugar, corn syrups, and other hidden sugars in all the foods we and our children eat and drink.? How come he does noth-ing about the SODAS, fruit drinks that are loaded with SUGARS and CORN SYRUPS? There are hidden SUGARS in everything. The SODAS and JUICES we give our CHILDREN have to be the worse of it. Read the labels and see just how much SUGAR is in everything, including the condi-ments that we use everyday. Then they wonder why OBESITY is killing everyone.

There’s too much SATURATED FATS and SALT are in all PROCESS FOODS. So if we are in control, then we should STOP or let the people know how bad all those things are. The SUGAR is the

worse part of it. Those soft drinks get BIGGER all the time.

If health care is to go down then we all have to watch what we put in our mouths. Take notice of what is happening to our children. We all thought the juice we gave our chil-dren was good and the right thing to do. Well take a look and just see how much SUGAR, CORN SYRUPS ,and other hidden sugars are in all those so called good juices. Just READ the LABELS and see for yourself. We need to get this generation on things to eat, drink, that are good for them. SUGAR is not one of them. Our schools need to be given our children healthy choices, not SUGAR and TRANS FATS! What ever happened to cooking from scratch and squeezing our own juice?

Mr. Stamps thinks Social Security program is in great shape?To the editor,

I read the letter of David Stamps in Saturday’s Daily Sun. His petulant prose was penned to let all those who didn’t vote for him know that they weren’t smart enough to recognize the genius and goodness of the Democrats . . . him in particular. Alas, he stated that we will all “look back in sorrow” at the “. . . plot by Republicans to destroy the American economy . . .”

Clearly, Mr. Stamps is not one to be confused by facts. He prefers to cite bankrupt programs as “gifts” of Demo-crat politicians to we the people. He prefers to ignore “little” things such as Medicare having $36-trillion in unfounded liabilities and the current

administration’s plan to cut $500-bil-lion in benefits. I gather that Mr. Stamps believes that the Social Secu-rity program is just hunky dory. Ooops! Also bankrupt and getting worse. “Cuts” in education? Sorry pal, but the next “cut” will be the first cut. “Kinder-garten” another Democrat gift? Really? Is that where we raised the age when kids could start first grade from 5 to 6 years old and then decided we needed another grade for 5 year olds? Could it be a way to swell teacher union rolls by 8+ percent. And so it goes.

Will someone please give Mr. Stamps a lollipop and a hug.

Thanks to “safe” boaters, full throttle through Barber’s Pole is OKTo the editor,

The New Hampshire Department of Safety has reversed its earlier deci-sion that had established a No Wake Zone in the narrow and often busy Barber’s Pole channel of Lake Winni-pesaukee, at the request of a group of boaters headed by a member of a per-formance boating club calling itself the “Active Thunder Cult”.

The Department of Safety makes this reversal based on a technicality raised by this boating group, despite having earlier found that without the no-wake designation, present law “does not provide adequate safety” and that “No Wake speed along this route within Lake Winnipesaukee will improve public safety; maintenance of

residential, recreational, and scenic values; variety of uses; and, environ-ment and water quality.”

Using the moniker “Safe Boaters of New Hampshire”, the boating group, whose founder has stated a primary mission of having Lake Winnipesau-kee’s boating speed limit repealed, has arranged so that most boaters may again travel full throttle through the narrow 2-way channel, even after the Department of Safety had determined that “There is not sufficient availabil-ity and practicality of enforcement” to ensure safety in the channel absent no-wake speed limitations.

McDonald’s grand reopening promotion nets $3,103 for Elm St. School

WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Rep. Charles Rangel, a longtime power in the U.S. House, violated its rules with financial misconduct, brought it dis-credit and will be punished, fellow lawmakers sit-ting as jurors ruled on Tuesday.

Protesting the enduring stain on his four-decade congressional career, the 80-year-old Democrat said he was treated unfairly for “good faith mistakes.” His statement reflected the bitterness of an eight-month career slide, starting with an unrelated ethics ruling that forced him from his coveted chairmanship of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.

The conduct often cited by critics was his failure to report income to the IRS from a unit he owned in a Dominican Republic resort — showing the chairman in charge of tax legislation shortchanged the IRS.

Rangel, a founder of the Congressional Black Caucus, remains a political kingpin in New York’s

House ethics panel finds Rangel guilty of misconductfamed Harlem neighborhood and is unlikely to resign. He won re-election earlier this month.

Convicted on 11 of 13 charges of rules violations, his ordeal isn’t finished.

The eight-member ethics panel that convicted him — four Democrats and four Republicans — now will write what is likely to be a stinging report to amplify its findings. Then, the full House ethics committee will conduct a hearing Thursday on the appropriate pun-ishment for Rangel, the silver-haired, gravelly voiced and sartorially flashy veteran of 20 terms in Congress.

Rangel can waive his right to the hearing and ask the committee to go straight to deliberations on possible sanc-tions. Possible sanctions include a House vote deploring his conduct, a fine and denial of certain privileges.

Rangel’s downfall, in part, came in the way he solicited money for a New York college center

mittee on Administrative Rules (JLCAR) rejected in September. On Thursday, Sevigny will return to JLCAR with amendments to the original designed to overcome the objections raised by the committee.

Under the rules the independent board of directors of the JUA would be scrapped and all authority over its management and operations transferred to the Insurance Commissioner. The rules would replace the current contracts, which provide that the policy-holders make up the defi cits and share in the earn-ings of the JUA, and explicitly forbid transferring any share of either earnings or assets to private par-ties. The rules further grant the commissioner with exclusive authority to terminate JUA and transfer its assets to either another plan or “the general fund of the state.”

In September, after a daylong hearing, JLCAR found that the rules confl icted with statutes that prohibit the Insurance Commissioner and members of his department from managing an insurer and forbid an insurer owned or controlled by a govern-ment or government agency from writing insurance in the state. The committee also held that autho-rizing the Insurance Commissioner to dissolve the

JUA without legislative review and approval was contrary to the intent of the Legislature and interest of the public. And fi nally the committee concluded that the proposed rules failed to accommodate the decision of the Supreme Court, which recognized the “vested rights” of policyholders in the surplus.

Despite the efforts of the Insurance Department to address the committee’s objections, attorneys for both the policyholders and the committee contend that the amended rules suffer the same fl aws as the originals. The department, they claim, has again vested the commissioner with authority in excess of that granted by statute and failed to recognize the property rights of the policyholders, which were affi rmed by the supreme court.

As Democrats still enjoy a majority on JLCAR, this could be the last opportunity for the administration to lay claim to the money. When the Legislature convenes in January, the Republicans will enjoy command-ing majorities in the Legislature and the committee. Throughout the election campaign Republican candi-dates chastised Lynch and the Democrats for trying to take the funds to balance their budget, charging that they were brazenly trampling the private property rights of the policyholders.

JUA from page 3

MOULTONBOROUGH — At its November 4th meeting, the Selectboard approved the reduction of 20 some streetlights, anticipated to yield a 15-per-cent savings in the town’s annual lighting budget. The list was prepared by the Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments with an eye toward savings that would not reduce public safety.

The locations are identifi ed below and also have an orange placard on them. This placard will remain in place until the end of the day on Monday, November 22: 144 Bean Rd., 12 Lakeshore Dr., 76 Lakeshore Dr., 22 Holland St., 158 Bean Rd., 14 Lakeshore Dr., 95 Lakeshore Dr., 52 Holland St., Bean Rd. at Leighton Rd., 32 Lakeshore Dr., 122 Lakeshore Dr., 123 Holland St., Harbor Square - Center Harbor, 46 Lakeshore Dr., 164 Lakeshore Dr., Old Route 109S, Opposite MVSB - Center Harbor, 70 Lakeshore Dr., and 13 Holland St., Lees Mill at Orchard Dr.

While it is anticipated the lights will be removed by January 1, 2011 some may never be removed at all. As part of their action the board directed the

M’borough turning off street lights to save moneytown administrator to contact the Town of Center Harbor, with which the town shares Bean Road to see if it wished to take over the lights on that road. They also directed the town administrator to send a letter to each of the property owners in the immedi-ate area of a light slated for elimination to see if they wanted to “adopt” the light. Should a property owner want to do this it would cost them approximately $150 per year.

Finally, the Town will post a notice on its web site letting people know they may “nominate” a light for elimination if they believe it is not needed for public safety or to service a town property. Those nomina-tions should be emailed to the Town Administrator at cterenzini@moultonbroughnh.gov or sent by mail to the Offi ces of the Selectboard, PO Box 139, Moulton-borough, NH, 03254. Should someone do this it is help-ful to have not only a street address but the identifying pole number in aluminum letters nailed to each pole.

Persons with questions are urged to contact the Town Administrator Carter Terenzini, at 476-2347.

designed as a monument to himself. There also was his decade of misleading annual disclosures of his income and assets and his use of a subsidized New York apartment — designated for residential use — as a campaign offi ce.

The panel deliberated over two days before its chair-man, Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren, made a bare-bones statement announcing the fi ndings — leaving a full

explanation for the upcoming written report.The conviction was a fresh setback for Democrats

who lost control of the House to the GOP in the mid-term elections, support for Republican candidates’ assertions of bad conduct.

At his one-day trial on Monday, Rangel was reduced to pleading for a postponement — arguing that his lawyers abandoned him after he paid them some $2 million but could afford no more.

stantial disruption then it is bullying.He said bullying reflects a “imbalance of power

whether it’s actual or perceived.”The new policy is being written to bring city

schools in line with newly passed New Hampshire legislation. Not only does the new law make schools responsible for what happens in school and the trip to and from school, it holds it responsible for all stu-dent-to-student.

High School Assistant Principal David Levesque said the overall climate and culture of a school con-tributes greatly to how bully-free a school can be.

“It’s about how kids feel,” he said, noting it’s a sense of belonging that starts at the top and goes all the way down to the students.

He said positive school climates involve preven-tion and daily reaffirmation of a safe and bully-free environment and a complete buy-in from teachers. He said it also means consistency within one school building.

To date, all teachers and personnel have been made aware of the new law, administrators have participated in forums and about 60 teachers have attended workshops.

In a similar vein, the policy subcommittee will draft a proposed policy for putting cameras on Laco-

nia’s school buses. Dassatti said because that is a privacy issue, it needs to be done separately and will be subject to a formal public hearing before the full board contemplates it.

Dassatti said he expects a draft policy for cameras just after the new year.

Superintendent Bob Champlin said it would cost about $6,000 to outfit all eight of the First Student-owned buses designated for Laconia.

He said the buses are already outfitted with boxes for the camera and the district need to pay for the camera itself, an off-site hard drive, and the soft-ware.

“Virtually all of our neighbors use cameras,” said Dassatti.

A school bus ride is a “book end to a day,” said Woodland Heights Elementary School Principal Dennis Dobe.

He said a bad ride to school can effect the way that student will perform for the rest of the day and a bad ride home will negatively effect the way the child perceives his or her just-finished school day.

In Laconia schools, the bus driver is the only adult. Champlin said administrators ride the buses during the beginning of the school year and are available to serve as bus monitors when there is a particular problem on any particular bus.

BULLYING from page 1

thirds, or four of the six city councilors, to override the limit it places on the total amount that can be raised by property taxes each fiscal year. Whitelaw said for intents and purposes the court’s decision applies to the Laconia ordinance, which is no longer binding or enforceable.

City Manager Eileen Cabanel said that she intends to begin the process of preparing the 2011-2012 city budget by explaining the factors bearing on the budget to the council. These include estimated revenues from sources other than property taxes and projected increases and decreases in obligatory expenditures like debt service and employee com-pensation, health insurance and retirement contri-butions. She said that the councilors have already indicated they will seek to forestall any increase in

the property tax burden. However, she added that she will tailor her budget to the tax cap if the council chooses to take that course.

The Laconia tax cap limits the annual increase in the amount raised by property taxes to the rate of inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and the value of new construction, calculated by applying the current property tax rate to the value of value of building permits less the value of demolition permits as of March 31.

Because Laconia’s council has six members the two-thirds vote requirement takes a possible tie-breaking vote by the mayor out of play. Votes from four of the six councilors are needed to form a super-majority.

If a simple majority is all that is required to over-ride a tax cap, the mayor could join three councilors in forming that majority.

Canal Street, which will soon be vacant after Sus-tain Ability ceased its retail operation.

“In my case, it offered a great deal,” said Sawyer, who gave the Paintbox crew’s work credit for attract-ing a paying tenant. “It’s like walking into a house and smelling something cooking, it feels more like a home,” he said.

“Artists do make a difference,” asserted Yerkes, who said the arrangement with Sawyer gave her the opportunity to paint elsewhere from her basement, while also offering visibility in the downtown area. She and two others of Paintbox crew have joined with a few other like-minded community members to form a group called the Laconia Design Collab-orative, a group which previously was a subcommit-tee of the original Laconia Main Street organization.

The design collaborative’s big idea is to extrapo-late the lesson learned from the Paintbox experi-ment and apply it to the other vacant store windows

in downtown. Instead of dark windows looking in on empty, dark spaces, the design collaborative will fill the windows with original artwork. In addition to the vacant stores, the artists, especially Bothamley, will also offer her expertise to businesses that aren’t utilizing the opportunity to use their ground-level windows to create an attractive seasonal design. The goal is to fill the downtown with windows that will greet shoppers rather than deter them.

So far, the design collaborative has filled the win-dows of the now-closed Sundial Shop, much to the pleasure of owner Warren Clement. They plan to expand their offerings to other windows downtown soon, and ask that any building owners interested in a partnership contact either Yerkes at 520-6570 or Bothamley at 524-1505.

“When I first moved here, downtown Laconia was really vibrant,” said Haughey, who came in the city in 1975. “There were great stores downtown, the Colo-

nial (theater) was up and running, it was just wonderful.” Although the city’s center is no longer as vibrant, she said there’s still plenty of promis-ing aspects to the region, such as nat-ural features, historic mill buildings, train depot and the Laconia library.

“There’s nothing wrong with this area, there’s everything right with it,” Haughey said. “If we can get more artists to fi lter into downtown, that

would be great,” she added, with the hope that the presence of art and cre-ativity would draw other business-people as well. “We’re trying, so far it’s kind of working.”

Haughey can count Sawyer, who also operates Sawyers Jewelry down-town, as one person who subscribes to her way of thinking. Sawyer said, “Activity promotes activity, that’s good for the core community.”

City Manager Eileen Cabanel said that the repairs to the Main Street bridge may offer an opportunity to reconfi gure the downtown traffi c pat-tern. She recalled that in 2006, when a team from the Environmental Protec-tion Agency (EPA) offered suggestions of how the city could develop, redirect-ing the fl ow of traffi c downtown was an important element of their vision.

The team proposed a scheme that would reverse the impact of urban renewal by drawing people into the center of the city instead of divert-ing them around it. Under the plan, Canal Street alone would remain one-way. Main Street, Beacon Street East and Pleasant Street would all become two-way streets. Water Street would be extended to join Main Street at its intersection with Pleasant, breaking Beacon Street West, which would also carry two-way traffi c, in two.

Moynihan said that as the bridge, which is actually three bridges, is currently confi gured it is unable to accommodate two-way traffi c on either Beacon Street East or Beacon Street West, let alone both. However, he also said that Bob Durfee of Dubois

& King ventured that in repairing the bridge, it could be reconfi gured in such a way as not to preclude two-way traffi c within the projected budget of $2.5-million. He stressed that more study will be required and said he added $200,000 to the estimate to fund it.

Alternatively, Moynihan said that the bridge could be redesigned and reconstructed to handle a changed traffi c pattern, which he estimated would cost in the neighborhood of $6.5-million, of which only $2.5-mil-lion would qualify for for the 80-per-cent match from the state.

Street repairs at $1,350,000 led the remaining nine of the CIP Commit-tee’s 10 highest priorities for fi scal year 2011-12. Apart from vehicles for the Department of Public Works at $265,000, which placed tenth on the list, all the other items carried price tags of $60,000 or less. The list included a generator of the Weirs Beach Fire Station for $60,000, play-ground improvements for $25,000, fencing and guardrails for $40,000, sidewalk repairs for $50,000, drain-age at Black Brook for $45,000, tele-phones for the fi nance department at

$25,000 and a pump for $20,000.Reconstruction and expansion of

the central fi re station at an esti-mated cost of $3.9-million placed 30th and repairs to park houses for $150,000 was last on the list of 31

projects suggested by department heads, excluding those recommended by the Laconia Water Works, which are funded by the department’s rev-enues, and vehicle purchases fi nanced by the internal service fund.

really wanted the Beatles, they know somewhere else to get it already.”

Forty years after the Beatles broke up, Apple is selling 13 remastered studio albums, the two-volume “Past Masters” set and the “Red” and “Blue” greatest-hits collections. People can buy individual songs for $1.29 apiece or download entire albums, at $12.99 for a single album and $19.99 for a double.

Apple is also selling a special digital boxed set that includes all the albums and a download of the 41-minute movie of the Beatles’ fi rst U.S. concert, “Live at the Washington Coliseum, 1964.”

Apple struck the agreement after on-and-off negotiations with the Bea-tles’ recording label, EMI Group, and their management company, Apple Corps.

Apple Corps had resisted sell-ing Beatles music on iTunes in part because of a long-running trademark dispute with Apple. The feud was

resolved in 2007 when the companies agreed on joint use of the apple logo and name. Many people saw that as paving the way for an agreement for online access to Beatles songs.

EMI Group CEO Roger Faxon would not say whether the Beatles had gotten a special deal from Apple, which usually keeps 30 percent and gives the rest to the label and the artists.

Even without digital sales, the band was making money. The Beatles have sold 600 million albums worldwide since the 1960s, and last year’s remas-tered versions sold 18 million. Cirque du Soleil used Beatles music for the soundtrack to its “Love” show. And “The Beatles: Rock Band” video game came out last year.

Lance Grode, a lawyer who worked for the fi rm that represented Beatle George Harrison in the late 1970s, said there was fear that once the Beatles embraced iTunes, the music would be so easily available that it would be harder to promote such spe-cial releases.

Belmont High School Drama Club performs “Collective Dating” on Friday and Saturday evenings

BELMONT — "Collective Dating", a wacky collec-tion of short, romantic comedies that explore various dating scenarios, will be presented by the Belmont High School Drama club on Friday and Saturday nights, Nov. 19 and 20. Both performances will be in the school cafeteria and will start at 7 p.m. Tickets,

Tommy Turkey convinces Inter-Lakes freshmen to “take the plunge” at Weirs Beach on Saturday

Members of the Inter-Lakes High School freshman class are ready to participate in Saturday’s annual Turkey Plunge into the cold waters of Lake Winnipesaukee to raise funds for the Salvation Army. (Courtesy photo)

MEREDITH — Tommy Turkey will be taking Inter-Lakes High School Class of 2014 under his wing as the Lakers get more than their feet wet at the 6th Annual Sal-vation Army Turkey Plunge at noon on Sat-urday, November 20.

Tommy’s recent visit to the school was orga-nized by freshman class member Spencer Perreault and teacher Sarah Harbrook. He was accompanied by Salvation Army Cap-tain Stephen Warren and Turkey Plunge Committee Member Don Morrissey.

Warren told the stu-dents about the tremen-dous need in the Lakes Region for Salvation Army services includ-ing the Senior Meals Program, the Food Pantry, and the homeless shelter — the Salvation Army Carey House. All funds generated by the Plungers help pay for these local programs.

After the Plunge, spectators are invited to join the Plungers at the Weirs Beach Lobster Pound Res-taurant where a chili/chowder/soup luncheon will be served. Area restaurants donating food for the luncheon include Kitchen Cravings, Patrick’s Pub & Eatery, O Steak & Seafood/Canoe, T-Bones, Lago,

Hart’s and Fratello’s. Beverages will be provided by Coca-Cola of Northern New England while desserts and wait staff will come from the Culinary Arts Pro-gram of Lakes Region Community College.

The luncheon is open to the public for a $5 per person donation while Plungers eat for free. Door prizes will be awarded to lucky attendees. Any individual or team interested in plunging may obtain registration forms from any branch of the Meredith Village Savings Bank or by calling the Salvation Army at 524-1834.

Trio of upcoming Wellness Seminars designed to help folks gear up for winter to be held at Wesley Woods

GILFORD — Three Wellness Seminars designed to help folks gear up for winter will be held at Wesley Woods at 11:30 a.m. with the first set for Tuesday, November 23.

“Put Your Best Foot Forward” will kick off the series. Madeline Dauphinais, RNC, former assistant director of Nursing at St. Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, will talk about the importance of foot care — especially during the winter months — common foot ailments, proper nail care, and Diabetic foot care.

On Wednesday, December 1, Bill York from Live Free Home Health Car, will present “Stress Free Holidays.” Said York, “Holidays should be times

for relaxation and joy, but sometimes they become overly stressful, creating tension and unhappy times, rather than the anticipated enjoyment. But with a little thought and pre-planning, these stress factors can melt away for a more enjoyable time for all.”

“Exercise For Arthritis/Fibromyalgia” will be the topic on Tuesday, December 14 with Megan Hunt-oon, a physical therapist at LRGHealthcare, explain-ing the importance of exercising and how it keeps the symptoms of arthritis and fibromyalgia at bay.

A light lunch will be served at all of the seminars. All ages are welcome. R.S.V.P. Stace at 528-2555.

GILMANTON — “The Straight Story,” a film based on the true story of a 73-year-old man’s six-week odyssey on a lawnmower, will be screened at the Year-Round Library at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, November 22.

In 1994, Alvin Straight traveled 240 miles to rec-

oncile with his ill estranged brother, making the entire trip on a lawnmower. Straight’s rate of speed was five miles per hour.

The Monday Movie Matinee for retirees and seniors will be presented at no charge. Refresh-ments will be available.

“The Straight Story,” about 73-year-old’s lawnmower trip, to be shown at Gilmanton Year-Round Library

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Start thinking about why you deserve to be successful, well respected and well paid. When you have the answers to these questions on the tip of your tongue, things start to align to move you up in the professional world. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be in the mood to propose something new. Before you do, make sure the ones who will hear this proposal are in an open and generous mood. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll add value to your offerings and raise your worth in the eyes of those who pay you. Keep working along these lines, and you will also achieve a big win for your team. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You want certain results from your loved ones, but at the same time, you real-ize you can’t control them. Keep those high hopes alive, and temper them with a few realistic expectations. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have time before you will need to make a big decision. The others on your team will suggest alternatives you hadn’t thought of. Be open to learning, but don’t make promises. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). For long, lovely stretches of time, your mind will be relaxed and unconcerned about what has already happened or might happen. This is the happiness and peace you deserve to have always. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can’t expect that every time you are tested you’ll come off with fl ying colors. And when you don’t, the test is still worth-while. It teaches you what to learn, strengthen or grow. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll

display your courage through socializ-ing. You’ll get into a mix that is strange to you, let down your guard and let yourself be affected by the new people and experiences to be had around you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s more motivating to think about what you’ll do right in the future than to focus on paying penance for what you did wrong in the past. Stay positive, and you will more than make up for any mistakes you made along the way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relationships take work. Home in on one particular partnership. A tune-up is in order. Think about what you could do to increase the respect in the relation-ship and how you might make working together easier. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your open mind is a rare and beautiful gift. Of course you have your own opinions, but you don’t let them color everything you hear. You will drop your defenses and listen with compassion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You feel a protective instinct toward your loved ones, and you need to apply the same ferocity to your own interests. If you don’t look after you, you won’t be able to look after them. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 17). You see the best in others, and they will do the same for you this year, helping you grow your talents to their full poten-tial. In December, you will reconcile your differences with someone or get closure on an issue. There’s a lifestyle upgrade in January. March brings work that excites you and new friends, too. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 10, 22, 24 and 1.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: I have been with “Ted” for a year. He is a won-derful man, and I love every moment we spend together. But he talks to his ex-wife on a regular basis. She left him after a 13-year relationship, and they had no children together. Yet, he still tells her he loves her and talks to her exactly the same way he talks to me. Ted says I have nothing to worry about, but it frustrates me. He tells me he doesn’t want to lose her friendship and will always love her because she’s been in his life “for so long.” But what about me? -- Confused Girlfriend Dear Confused: The question is not the friendship. It’s whether or not he’d go back to his ex if she asked. Ted should examine his own feelings and decide whether he is fully com-mitted to you or not. You don’t need a man who is pining for a lost love. If he insists you are the only woman in his life, ask him to please cut back on the frequency of his calls to the ex for the sake of your relationship. Dear Annie: A woman down the hall from my apartment has two dogs. When she takes them out, one of them actually screams as it passes by my door. This happens at 3 a.m. I contacted the building manager, and he assured me that he talked to her about using a different exit door, but she is still using the same one. It seems she waits until that poor little animal screams its discomfort. Is there anything I can do? I’m tempted to contact the Humane Society. -- Tired of the Screaming Dog Dear Tired: You can call the Humane Society, but what sounds like screaming isn’t necessarily the same for dogs as it is for humans. And the woman is probably not “waiting” until the dog gets upset. At 3:00 in the morning, it takes a few minutes for her to wake up. Still, she should not be walking by your apartment if there

is another exit for her to use. This is your neighbor. Knock on her door, politely, and invite her over for a cup of coffee. Be friendly. Then ask if she could use the second exit when she walks the dog at night because it disturbs your sleep. If that doesn’t help, go back to your manager or call the owner of the building. Dear Annie: I think you were off base with your response to “Confused,” whose fi ancee wants to hyphenate her name. If she won’t take his name, why bother getting married? Men have so few prerogatives in this modern world of di-versity, why is this tradition falling? And her name is prob-ably her father’s name anyway. My wife said if she were to marry me today, she would hyphenate her name. I said that would be a total of 15 letters, plus a hyphen. Next time, instead of speaking woman-to-woman in your answers, you might want to solicit some male input. -- My Two Cents’ Worth Dear Two Cents: Women used to take their husband’s sur-name because they were considered their husband’s property. Many women continue to do so because they respect tradi-tion, prefer the husband’s name, don’t want to confuse the children, like to give the impression that they are subservient to their husbands, whatever. Women who keep their maiden names, hyphenated or not, often do so because they already have established professional careers, the husband’s surname is diffi cult to pronounce or spell, they wish to retain an inde-pendent identity, and so on. A recent trend is to combine both surnames and create a new one, an idea that has merit, although it undoubtedly gives genealogists fi ts. When men are expected to take their wife’s surname upon marriage, we’ll be happy to ask for their input.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nearly 50 years after the Beatles took television by storm, the Fab Four’s songs became available on iTunes on Tuesday, set-ting the stage for a possible new outbreak of Beatle-mania — this one online.

After many a hard day’s night of negotiations, Apple announced a deal Tuesday to immediately begin selling the Beatles’ music by the song or the album. Until now, the biggest-selling, most influen-tial group in rock history has been glaringly absent from iTunes and other legal online music services.

Big day for Apple: Beatle’s songs finally made available on iTunespun intended,” said Craig Marks, editor of Billboard magazine. “There are kids and there are baby boom-ers and people in between who, for whatever reason, never did download those Beatles songs because they weren’t on iTunes, and now they’re going to have the opportunity to do so.”

Within hours of their availability Tuesday, eight Beatles recordings were at one point among the top 25 albums sold on iTunes, including a $149 boxed set at No. 13. The eight also included “Abbey Road,” ‘’The White Album” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

Apple would not release first-day sales figures

or the number of Beatles albums or singles down-loaded. ITunes’ top albums list is a fluid, real-time chart that changes several times throughout the day; the 25th album may sell only a few thousand copies in a week.

It is unclear how big the Beatles could become on iTunes. After all, many Beatles fans already have copied the group’s CDs to their iPods.

“It seems like too little, too late,” said Kerry Sul-livan, 24, a senior at Saint Thomas Aquinas College in Sparkill, N.Y. “Everyone who wants the Beatles catalog probably already has it. If, you know, they
