Route 110 demolition work to get underway soon BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN -- The state has completed purchase of all 31 properties slated for demolition as part of the Route 110 upgrade and is scheduled to demolish 11 of the buildings this fall. Newly appointed Department of Transportation Commissioner Christopher Clement joined Executive Councilor Raymond Burton Friday on a tour that included a stop at the Route 110 project site. Also on the tour were Kirk Mudgett, head of the design team for the project, and senior group leader Mike Hazlett. Mudgett said the state has completed purchase of all 31 properties - only one is still occupied. DOT has gone out to bid for the demolition of 11 of the properties with bids to be opened early next month. The cost of the demolition is estimated at about $300,000. The other 20 properties will go out to bid for demolition once the department has cleared any historical and asbestos issues. That is expected to be next spring. While the demolition is on-going, the department will continue the design work and finalize right-of-way and utility easements. The project is scheduled to go out to bid for construction in January 2013, with construction to get underway that spring. The project is the second phase of the Route 110 upgrade. Phase I, the rehabilitation of the Green Street, was completed in 2008. After extensive discussion and debate, the city and state settled on what was called Alternative 4E for the .6 mile stretch of Route 110 from Green Street to Wight see RIUTE 110 page 9
Absentee landlord assessed fine, cleanup costs for oil leak
BERLIN -- An absentee landlord with a history of tax liens has been hit with a fine and clean-up costs for failing to report and clean up an oil spill in the basement of an apartment building at 566 Burgess Street. Coos County Superior Court Justice Peter Bornstein assessed a fine of $80,000 against Brian Yee of 12 Crosby St., in Londonderry. Half of the fine was suspended provided there are no future environmental violations. He was also ordered to pay double the clean-up costs, which are currently $3,633. But the remaining work is estimated at $16,633, meaning he could ultimately pay $40,532 in clean-up costs. Adding in the fine, his total cost would come to $80,532. On July 26, 2010 Pyrofax Energy pumped approximately 550 gallons of fuel oil into the basement of the vacant tenement building owned by Yee.

Consolidating educational systems favored by majority at forums BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN
BERLIN -- More than half of the people who attended the recent forums on the future of education in the Androscoggin Valley favor combining SAU 3 and SAU 20 into a single supervisory administration unit and consolidating Berlin and Gorham middle and high schools. Overwhelmingly people who attended the six public forums favored some form of consolidation of education systems. Combining the two SAUs and merging the middle and high school schools was the choice of 52 percent of the 152 residents who participated in a straw poll held at the end of each forum. Another 15 percent split their votes among three options - 1) combining SAUs, 2) maintaining separate SAUs but regionalizing middle and high schools, and 3) retaining separate SAUs and regionalizing grades eight through 12. Fifteen percent said they were undecided and another six percent wanted to see a study group

formed. Facilitators Cheryl Baker and Kathy McCabe of Plymouth State University noted there was not one vote for doing nothing or continuing the current status of sharing some limited services. The findings from the sessions were outlined at a public meeting last Wednesday at the Berlin Junior High auditorium that attracted a small crowd. A second debriefing is scheduled for tonight, Tuesday, Oct. 25, starting at 7 p.m. at the Gorham High School gym. Forums were held in Berlin, Randolph, Shelburne, Gorham, Milan, and Errol. At the sessions, attendees were asked to list arguments in favor of consolidating educational efforts and in favor of remaining separate. Arguments in favor of consolidating included enhanced and more course offerings, increased sports and extra-curricular activities, decreased per pupil costs, consolidation of administration, staff,

Hearing aid cuts out all the clatter (NY Times) — After he lost much of his hearing last year at age 57, the composer Richard Einhorn despaired of ever really enjoying a concert or musical again. Even using headsets supplied by the Metropolitan Opera and Broadway theaters, he found himself frustrated by the sound quality, static and interference. Then, in June, he went to the Kennedy Center in Washington for a performance of the musical “Wicked.” There were no special headphones. This time, the words and music were transmitted to a wireless receiver in Mr. Einhorn’s hearing aid using a technology that is just starting to make its way into public places in America: a hearing loop. “There I was at ‘Wicked’ weeping uncontrollably — and I don’t even like musicals,” he said. “For the first time since I lost most of my hearing, live music was perfectly clear, perfectly clean and incredibly rich.” His reaction is a common one. The technology, which has been widely adopted in Northern Europe, has the potential to transform the lives of tens of millions of Americans, according to national advocacy groups. As loops are installed in stores, banks, museums, subway stations and other public spaces, people who have felt excluded are suddenly back in the conversation.

Moderate Islamist party claims victory in Tunisia TUNIS (NY Times) — A moderate Islamic party appeared to emerge as the big winner in Tunisia on Monday as preliminary results leaked out in the voting for an assembly to draft a constitution and shape a new government in this small North African country, where a revolution in January inspired uprisings across the Arab world. The party, Ennahda, won at least 30
percent of the votes cast on Sunday, and party officials told a news conference the party had come out ahead in nearly every voting district. Ali Laredi, a top official of the party, said it expected to receive possibly more than 50 percent when the final results are tallied. Calling his party “the most modernist” Islamic political movement in the Arab world — meaning the most committed to
principles of democracy and pluralism — Mr. Laredi predicted that it would now “lead the way” for others around the region. Ennahda officials were already beginning discussions to form a unity government with the four or five other more liberal parties that were expected to get representation in the constituent assembly, which is to draft the constitution. Millions of Tunisians cast votes on
Talks adjourned, aides try to Libya’s interim leaders to iron out Euro rescue details investigate Qaddafi killing FRANKFURT (NY Times) — As European officials worked Monday to iron out details of a plan to save the euro, fears were growing that the end result might be another example of European leaders doing as little as they think they can get away with. After marathon talks in Brussels during the weekend, Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany; Nicolas Sarkozy, the president of France; and other leaders decamped to their respective capitals. But high-level aides remained to work on issues like debt relief for Greece and measures to

strengthen European banks. In Italy, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi did little to ease the discomfort as he struggled Monday to get his own allies to support pro-growth measures that he first promised in August. During the weekend, Mrs. Merkel and Mr. Sarkozy were openly disdainful of Berlusconi’s progress so far. Investors seem to hope that when the leaders reconvene Wednesday, they will take more decisive action than they have in innumerable past summits. Major stock indexes in Europe rose Monday, as did the euro against the dollar.
BENGHAZI, Libya (NY Times) — The head of Libya’s interim government announced the creation of a formal committee of inquiry on Monday to examine the circumstances surrounding the death of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, the country’s former leader, while in the custody of his captors after he fled his final refuge last week. In his announcement, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, chairman of the Transitional National Council, acknowledged that pressure from foreign powers and rights groups — including some that supported the rebellion against Colonel Qaddafi’s rule — had prompted the decision to investigate how Colonel Qaddafi wound up dead with a bullet to the head. Mr. Abdel-Jalil referred to “demands of the international community” for an investigation. But it was unclear from Abdel-Jalil’s announcement how much authority the committee would have to pursue an investigation and whether anyone might be held accountable.

Let’s put some light on the subject To the editor: Greetings one and all. Haven’t we had such nice weather this summer, fall, and hopefully this winter too. I hope that “The Berlin Daily Sun” will do a good job on my letter this time, as they useded to in the past, I don’t know the reason why some of my last letter’s words were misspelled and jumbled around. I’ve heard comments on the radio these days in regards to Governor Mitt Romney, and his religion, Mormon, that it is a cult. This statement is partly correct, and partly incorrect. Let’s put some light on the subject, clear this up so we can all be better informed. To me, it is important, because it may aid his chances for the Presidency, and it affects us all because we are living in these United States. The Mormon Church, The Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ, Fundamental Church, is a cult, pedophiles are in these claiming to be prophets of God, who persuade young girls, children, to marry them, they are liars. The other Mormon Church, The Latter Day Saints of
Jesus Christ, are God fearing people, who believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ that are in The Bible. They do service without pay, who teach repentance, baptism, for the promised Holy Spirit, they uphold the Commandments of God, and enduring to the end. Those young missionaries you see walking downtown, or perhaps come knocking on your door, are young men of good will, kindness, and always ready to do good deeds. They speak the truth concerning Jesus’ teachings. Governor Romney also is in favor of supporting Israel, and this is also an important issue. A subject not mentioned very much. There is a great controversy between the United States, Palestine, and Israel, over Jerusalem. The United States would like to divide Jerusalem to give to Palestine, Israel’s enemy. It is written in Zechariah 12.13... any nation that tries to lift it, will be hurt. Whoever blesses God’s people, the Jews will be blessed, whoever curses them will be cursed. Jerusalem belongs to Israel. Diane Taupier Berlin
Why weren’t the details of my arrest published? To the editor: I Robert Balon respectfully ask the following. Why did the Oct. 14, edition of the “Berlin Daily Sun” have me listed in the Gorham police log without any details of what I am being accused of? The lack of details and facts
has caused people to communicate things that are untrue and unfounded, etc., of which affects my family and I in the community and elsewhere. The facts and records of my recent arrest by the Gorham Police Department see DETAILS page 5

Hollywood on Wall Street
WHAT enormous comfort it must give the Occupy Wall Street protesters to know that celebrities feel their pain. Roseanne Barr, for example. The comedian bleeds for them. Or, rather, would have others bleed; inspired by the protests, she recommended the guillotine for the greediest bankers. Such a subtle creature, she, and so oppressed to boot! Back in the 1990s, for the final seasons of her sitcom “Roseanne,” she made at least $20 million a year. She was not the 99 percent. The rap mogul Russell Simmons and the rapper Kanye West meandered over to Occupy Wall Street’s cradle, Zuccotti Park. By all accounts West was wearing more bling, though Simmons has bigger bucks: his net worth has been estimated as being between $100 million and $340 million. West’s is below that, and he made only $16 million or so last year. They are not even the 99.5 percent. And while that doesn’t disqualify them or Barr or other entertainers from sympathizing with Occupy Wall Street, it does give their public gestures of solidarity a discordant, sometimes specious ring. It also confuses the identity of a protest movement that already has challenges aplenty in the coherence department. The movement’s “we are the 99 percent” motto expresses ire over not only the unaccountability of huge financial institutions but also income inequality in America and the concentration of so much wealth and privilege in so few hands. Every time a wealthy messenger gloms on, that aspect of the message gets muddled and possibly compromised. And the glomming has begun. With a slowly growing number of actors and musicians paying well-chronicled visits to Zuccotti Park, the movement is in danger of becoming a sticky fly strip for entertainers who like to flaunt their self-styled populism: a gadfly strip. Susan Sarandon has been. Michael Moore has been. While both may have been propelled there by genuine anger, they have so much of it, are so famous for it and spread it so widely that their appearances can do the opposite of elevating a demonstration, making it seem merely fashionable and giving naysayers an easier way to roll their eyes. Entertainers are members of the well-connected economic elite against which Occupy Wall Street ostensibly rages, whether or not they want to see themselves that way. True, they’re not bundling mortgages, and they often have their extravagantly beating hearts in the right place. Many donate generously to charity. Many do remarkable good. But they nonetheless make oodles of money for themselves and for major corporations with lavishly compensated executives: the corporations that bankroll and distribute their television shows, movies, record albums and concert tours; the corporations
that peddle the clothing, electronics and everso-important cosmetics and styling products that entertainers are paid so handsomely to model and endorse. In some cases entertainers even make money for the banking industry itself. This issue came up last week when Alec Baldwin dropped by Zuccotti Park. Critics noted that he appears in television commercials for Capital One, a banking behemoth. While he responded that he gives his fee away, he’s still promoting the company, and there remain other facets of his work and life that render him, like other stars, a very odd fit for a movement concerned with the sway of big companies and the distribution of wealth. He has homes in both the Hamptons and Manhattan, a fact widely noted in news reports about a New York City tax inquiry into which is his primary residence. He claims the Hamptons. His television show, “30 Rock,” is shown on NBC, which is part of NBC Universal, whose president and chief executive officer, Steve Burke, had a total compensation package worth $34.7 million last year, according to a recent survey of executive salaries in The Hollywood Reporter. That same survey put the compensation of Brian Roberts, the chief executive officer of Comcast, which owns a controlling stake in NBC Universal, at $31.1 million. Philippe Dauman, the chief executive officer of Viacom, which owns Paramount Pictures, outpaced both of them. According to the company’s filing with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission, he had a compensation package last year that totaled nearly $85 million, more than double his 2009 amount. Like Wall Street bankers, entertainment industry executives haven’t exactly suffered in this economy. Celebrities help line those executives’ pockets, even if that’s not their goal, and then take the extra step of supporting other affluent corporations as pitchmen and pitchwomen. Some of them are seemingly aware enough of how mercenary this can seem that they favor endorsements outside American markets, especially in Asia, where their primary fan base won’t notice. At least Sarandon is doing her most recent endorsement work, for the clothing retailer Uniqlo, right here, on billboards in Manhattan and in a full-page ad in last week’s New Yorker magazine. I’m betting she chose Uniqlo, admirably, because it’s not Prada and its magazine ads push something other than glamour. The merino sweater she models in one ad costs $39.90. But Uniqlo is part of a multibillion-dollar Japanese corporation, and the vast majority of its clothing is made in China. How does that serve the jobs-hungry young Americans in Occupy Wall Street’s fold? There are many mixed signals in the celebrity assist to Occupy Wall Street, along with see HOLLYWOOD page 5

clear of Zuccotti Park, but you never know. Performers do love their political pronouncements, even though they view the world from a vantage point as skewed and cloistered in its way as a Fortune 500 chief executive’s. There are many causes that want for notice and can benefit mightily from celebrity interventions. Occupy Wall Street isn’t one of them, at least not at this point. It’s running strong, with ample news media attention. Entertainers who raise its banner may get some self-promotion and ego inflation from the effort, but they do the protest questionable good. And protesters would be wise to keep all that glitters — including the gold chain that was on Kanye West’s neck — at arm’s length.

a reminder that we too seldom hold stars to account for their own greed. SOME have reportedly accepted payments in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to show up and even perform at the private parties of superrich despots. The musicians Mariah Carey, Nelly Furtado, Usher and Beyoncé (a pitchwoman over time for L’Oréal, Armani, Nintendo, Pepsi) sang for members of the Qaddafi family. Will they be warbling at the funeral? Hilary Swank and JeanClaude Van Damme attended the 35th-birthday bash for the Chechen tyrant Ramzan Kadyrov.

Winter parking ban starts Tuesday, Nov. 1 BERLIN — Berlin Police have announced they will begin enforcement of the winter parking ban in one week. The seasonal ban on overnight parking on all city streets and parking areas begins on Tuesday, Nov. 1 and runs through April 1. The ban may be extended into April by order of the Chief of Police should weather dictate. Motorists are reminded their vehicles should be off
the streets and out of the city lots between midnight and 7 a.m. The only overnight parking provided by the city is in the lot on Cole Street, according to police. Penalties for violating the parking ban start with a $15 fine. With subsequent offenses the fine increases to $30 and $50 and then a parking boot may be used. Offenses during snowstorms will result in vehicles being towed in addition to the fine.

the building. The court has now assessed penalties and costs. “Our first priority is to ensure that we can complete the cleanup for the good of the property and the surrounding community,” said DES Commissioner Thomas Burack. “Once we accomplish that, we will seek collection of costs and penalties. An owner cannot simply walk away from his responsibilities to the state, to his neighbors, and to others who own nearby properties.” City officials report Yee and his business partner Matthew Allen own a total of 9 properties in the city - all but one are buildings. Three are currently tax deeded for nonpayment of property taxes. Housing Coordinator André Caron said the city has had trouble in the past contacting the pair
Burack said the spill occurred because Yee did not inform his automatic heating oil delivery service that the oil tanks were no longer working. The oil company suspected something was wrong because of the large amount of oil delivered and contacted authorities. Berlin Fire Department, in turn, notified the state Department of Environmental Services of the leak. After attempting unsuccessfully to contact Yee, DES authorized emergency clean-up of the spill. DES and court documents state Yee has failed to respond to multiple contacts from DES to complete the clean up nor did he respond to a lawsuit filed by DES in Coos Superior Court. Several weeks ago, Bornstein issued an order allowing the state to complete the cleanup within

and teachers, possible cost savings, and creating a regional sense of identify. Arguments for remaining separate included smaller class sizes, shorter bus rides, decreased transportation costs, camaraderie of students at different age levels, cultural identity, community pride, loss of jobs, budget control, and governance. The facilitators said five common themes emerged from the sessions. * Attendees feel their children’s education is important. “Saving money is nice, but the kids’ education is the most important thing,” one participant said. * Attendees want to do something. There was not one vote for the option of doing nothing. * Governance is a concern with people frequently asking what entity would be in charge. People in the towns especially said they did not want to give up having a voice in the education of their children.
* There was no support for consolidating the elementary schools although there was some interest in open enrollment. * There was also concern over what happens to the facilities. Attention must be paid to making good use of the existing infrastructure. Baker and McCabe recommended a committee be created to continue researching the future of education in the Androscoggin Valley. The two proposed the committee consist of seven members - one each from Berlin, Gorham, Randolph, Milan, Shelburne, Errol, and Dummer - appointed by their local school board. In the meantime, they urged the two SAUs to continue to find ways to collaborate within the current structure. SAU 3 Superintendent Corrine Cascadden said this study is different from others that have been done over the years because the process started with the public. In the past, she said a committee has been formed first and developed a proposal that was presented to the public.
SAU 20 Superintendent Paul Bousquet said the study is just the beginning of a regional conversation on education. He said there are still questions to be fleshed out so that when the region gets to the point of making a decision, it will be an informed decision. The ultimate goal, Bousquet said, is to ensure local graduates can go to any college in the country and compete. “Let’s get together and keep the conversation going,” he said. The study was partly funded by a $15,000 grant from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund of the N.H. Charitable Foundation. The two SAUs provided a $5,000 match of the grant through in-kind services such as meeting space and the staff time of Bousquet and Cascadden.

ROUTE 110 from page one
Street. The new alignment will create a route adjacent to the St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad and remove traffic, particularly truck traffic, from the largely residential neighborhood. City Planner Pamela Laflamme noted that relocating Route 110 had been discussed since the 1940’s. Three 90-degree turns on the route resulted in a truck detour that pushed some of the traffic onto neighborhood streets and routed some around the city. Laflamme said the toughest challenge for the Phase II project was working though the historical elements. The area was deemed a potential historic district and the city had to agree to a number of mitigation measures. Mudgett said the department held two design charrettes to develop proposals to use the undeveloped land that will be created within the public right-of-way. He said there should be a park-like feel to the section with some trees and green space. “It should look fairly nice when it is done,” he said. The total cost of Phase II was initially estimated at $10 million of which the city is responsible for 20 percent. Laflamme said Berlin has bonded its $2 million share. During lunch at the Northland Dairy Bar, Clement spoke about the need for additional revenue for transportation in light of an expected 30 to 35 percent cut in federal aid and the lost of $90 million over the biennial budget because of the sunsetting of the surcharge on vehicle registrations. He said the completion of the I-93 widening project continues to consume the largest part of the highway budget and noted the legislature has designated it the state’s top transportation project. He said the state is not able to keep up with preservation and maintenance projects and the number of red-lined bridges is growing faster than the department can renovate bridges. Burton said he supports a five cent increase in the state’s gas tax with the increased revenue targeted solely for transportation. He asked Clement the impact of such an increase. “It would do great things,” Clement replied. The commissioner said the five cent increase would generate over $41 million in new revenue annually. Five million dollars of that would go to cities and towns for local transportation projects. The remaining $36 million annually would allow the department to fund a bond to complete the $365 million of work left on I-93. Clement said that would free up state and federal funds to get the rest of the system caught up. Clement said this is a good time to look at bonding that work with bond rates at three to four percent. Contractor prices are very competitive because of the economy - he said in some cases bids are coming in as much as 15 percent below department estimates. He said material costs have also stabilized. While Clement said he was not taking a position on increasing the gas tax, he noted that last increase was in 1991 when gas still sold for $1.13 a gallon. New Hampshire’s gas tax is among the lowest in the nation. State Senator John Gallus said he could not support an increase in the gas tax. He said two years ago a bill to increase the gas tax came before the legislature and Gov. Lynch opposed it. Gallus said an increase in the gas tax would not pass the legislature. Clement has been in his position about five weeks. He was nominated by Gov. Lynch in August to replace retiring Commissioner George Campbell and approved by the Executive Council last month. He will serve the remainder of Campbell’s term which expires in December. Campbell was previously director of the state Office of Economic Stimulus and worked before that as deputy commissioner and chief operating office at DOT. He joined DOT in 2007 as chief engineer and director of operation. A design engineer by training, Clement worked at Goss International in Dover for 19 years before joining state service.
DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams
DILBERT
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone can benefit from objective feedback. But not everyone can take it. You’ll be among the emotionally strong ones. With great maturity, you will learn all you need to know to move to the next level. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be emotionally resilient and strong. You will find out what people think about you, and you’ll use the information to hone your image and work to create a maximum effect. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re a friendly person who realizes that not everyone can be as outgoing as you. A happy-go-lucky mood makes it easier for you to put yourself out there. If you don’t get the reaction you would prefer, it’s no big deal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be an excellent negotiator because you won’t get caught up in matters of pride. There’s little that would hurt your feelings about the deal anyhow; it’s just business. Seeing things like this gives you an advantage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your creed is: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You enter into new situations, ready to think on your feet. Don’t pressure yourself to take things too far, though. It’s probably enough just to smile and say hello. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 25). Your star qualities will be recognized, in part because you sense what your best ideas are and push forward until you see them in reality. There’s a career breakthrough in December. January offers new excitement on a personal level. You’ll see new parts of the world in March and June. Love signs are Sagittarius and Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 20, 40 and 13.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s no way around it. No matter how attractive and aligned with the universe you are, at some point getting what you want will require effort. That point comes today, and you couldn’t be more ready for it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You no longer feel the need to put in your two cents about another person’s life. You can tell that this person is going to work things out in his or her own unique way, and you’re content to quietly watch. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The truth packs a powerful punch. Like a strong drink, it takes some getting used to. Not everyone can handle a full glass of it. Add more sugar to the mix, and it will go down easier. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Increasing your self-reliance will not push a loved one away. It will, in fact, make your relationship stronger. You are growing toward a less dependent but more bonded arrangement with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whereas many around you seem dissatisfied, you tune in to your environment and notice much that is good in it. You can be a quiet leader in this regard, influencing others with nothing more than your manner of being. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Out of these snatches of things seen, heard or otherwise perceived, you form some rather unique conclusions. Your point of view is a rare one, and with a little creativity, you can turn it into great art. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Punctuality is important to you, though today you may find it stressful to accomplish. One way not to be late is to have nowhere to be. Consider clearing your schedule for a few days.

HUSBAND NO LONGER IN LOVE IS TEMPTED TO GET OUT AND ABOUT
DEAR ABBY: Over the past several years I have fallen out of love with my wife. We’re now at a point where all we do is cohabitate for the sake of the children. She often says she wants nothing to do with the kids and treats me as below human. She calls me at work repeatedly, then hangs up on me if I don’t agree or give her the answer she wants. I finally had enough and told her I can no longer live like this. She’s now saying she has “seen the error of her ways” and wants to change. I don’t know if I believe her or even care at this point. I have been so beaten down I just go through the motions. Part of me would like to see who else is out there for me, but then my wife cries and says she has “nowhere to go” and that I’d be putting the mother of my children “out on the street.” She doesn’t work because she can’t keep a job. (Something always comes up that forces her to walk out.) Please help me. I am beside myself and don’t know what to do. -- AT A CROSSROADS IN COLORADO DEAR AT A CROSSROADS: Try marital counseling for your children’s sake, to determine whether your wife is capable of changing and whether your marriage can be salvaged. If the answer is no, consult an attorney who specializes in family law, and when you do, seek custody of your children. If your wife says she wants nothing to do with them now, after a divorce her attitude isn’t likely to improve. They will need a caring, supportive parent close to them. If your wife is as you have described, she appears to be more interested
in a meal ticket than a partner, and you deserve better. DEAR ABBY: I am a college student. In order to save money on housing, my best friend, “Keira,” and I decided to get an apartment together. She’s engaged, so it’s actually the two of us and her fiance, “Bruce.” All of us were enthusiastic about the idea. They moved in a few months before me because I had a job back home and their jobs were at school. Because they moved in first, they treat me as if it is “their” apartment and I merely have a room there. When I try to buy things for the apartment, such as a new tablecloth, bath mat, etc., Keira immediately undoes any changes I have made when I leave for the day. I feel it is her passive-aggressive way of undermining me. It happens every day with something. This may seen petty, but this is my apartment, too. I pay rent just as they do, and I want to feel at home here as well. Keira is stubborn and wants things her way. How can I get her to quit this behavior without causing further animosity within our home? -- HOME-LESS IN NEW YORK DEAR HOME-LESS: Convene a household meeting and tell Keira and Bruce what you have told me. While they arrived first and furnished “their” nest, you have an equal right to have it reflect some of your taste and personality. For your friend to erase it while your back is turned is inconsiderate of your feelings. If you don’t bring this out in the open, you will never establish a compromise. Because Keira is planning to be mar-
