Dim future for notes in the margins?

CHICAGO (NY Times) — Locked in a climate-controlled vault at the Newberry Library here, a volume titled “The Pen and the Book” can be studied only under the watch of security cameras. The book, about making a profit in publishing, scarcely qualifies as a literary masterpiece. It is highly valuable, instead, because a reader has scribbled in the margins of its pages. The scribbler was Mark Twain, who had penciled, among other observations, a one-way argument with the author, Walter Besant, that “nothing could be stupider” than using advertising to sell books as if they were “essential goods” like “salt” or “tobacco.” Like many readers, Twain was engaging in marginalia, writing comments alongside passages and sometimes giving an author a piece of his mind. It is a rich literary pastime, sometimes regarded as a tool of literary archaeology, but it has an uncertain fate in a digitalized world. “People will always find a way to annotate electronically,” said G. Thomas Tanselle, a former vice president of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and an adjunct professor of English at Columbia University. “But there is the question of how it is going to be preserved. And that is a problem now facing collections libraries.”

CAIRO (NY Times) — The faltering government of the Libyan strongman Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi struck back at mounting protests against his 40-year rule, as security forces and militiamen backed by helicopters and warplanes besieged parts of the capital Monday, according to witnesses and news reports from Tripoli. By Monday night, witnesses

said, the streets of the capital, Tripoli, were thick with special forces loyal to Colonel Qaddafi as well as mercenaries. They shot freely as planes dropped what witnesses described as “small bombs” and helicopters fired on protesters, making further demonstrations against the government impossible for the moment. Hundreds of Qaddafi supporters took over Green Square after

truck loads of militiamen arrived and opened fire on protesters, scattering them. Residents said they now feared even to emerge from their houses.The escalation of the conflict came after six days of revolt that began in Libya’s second-largest city, Benghazi, where more than 220 people were killed in clashes with security forces, according to witnesses and human rights groups.

Yemeni leader rejects demands

SANA, Yemen (NY Times) — President Ali Abdullah Saleh, looking shaken at a news conference here on Monday, said he would not give in to the demands of protesters who have sought his ouster during 10 days of sustained demonstrations around Yemen. “Why do they want to return to chaos?” he said, offering instead to sit down with the protesters and discuss political reforms, rather than abandon his three decades of authoritarian rule. Mr. Saleh’s embattled government has faced street demonstrations both from organized opposition parties, who have extracted concessions but

demanded further reforms, and from young protesters seeking to emulate the revolutions that toppled the leaders of Egypt and Tunisia. Those two groups appear to be drawing closer. The Joint Meeting Parties, an umbrella group of opposition parties, said in a statement that it would “unite with the young protesters,” strongly condemning the “murder and acts of repression and terrorism suffered by young people and activists at the hands of the authorities.” The statement was the most explicit support of the youth offered yet by the more established opposition, which quickly dismissed Mr. Saleh’s offer of dialogue as insincere.

MADISON, Wis. (NY Times) — With the capital braced for another week of protests and deadlock over a bill that would restrict collective bargaining rights for unions here, the Republican state Senate leadership took steps on Monday to take up other matters. It was a move that seemed intended to increase the discomfort of the Democratic state senators, who have fled as a way of stalling the proposed measures. Scott Fitzgerald, the Senate majority leader, told his Republican colleagues to expect to resume work on Tuesday, which would leave the 33-member legislative body without a single Democrat as they debate and vote on governor’s appointees and other issues. At issue is a normally obscure Senate rule that requires a quorum of 20 senators to vote on fiscal matters but just 17 to vote on other matters. There are 19 Republicans in the Senate. Mr. Fitzgerald and other members of the Republican leadership planned to meet Monday to establish a schedule for Tuesday’s order of business.

Special needs student nets 6 points in 1st game DURHAM — Kate Messler has been part of the Oyster River High School girls basketball team since she was a freshman, but she never got to play until last week, in her senior season. Kate is a special needs student at the school with a rare developmental disability Trysomy 9p. As a player/ manager, she takes part in practice and all of the team’s outside activities, such as spaghetti dinners. She never missed a practice and said she always dreamed of playing in a game. Coach Dave Nichols said the athletic director of the team’s opponent on Thursday, Sanborn Regional High School, was very open to the idea of getting Kate into a real game. And after Oyster River had built a 20-point halftime lead over Sanborn, Coach Nichols put Kate in for the start of the third quarter. “The kids knew that she would be in this particular spot, give her a nice pass and let her take a shot or two,” said Nichols.

After a few missed shots, Kate sank a 3-pointer from about four feet behind the line. “I just started crying,” said senior Hallie Miller, who is a friend and teammate of Kate. Coach Nichols took Kate out of the game for a little while, but with just a little time remaining, he put Kate back in. And lightning struck again. At the buzzer, Kate launched another 3-pointer that went in. The gym exploded and her teammates rushed her on the floor. “It felt good,” Kate said. “Just to be part of that experience, to know that she was going to get out there and do something that she loved, it just meant the world to her, and it meant the world to the whole team,” said teammate Riley Maynard. Her teammates said Kate has taught them a lot about sportsmanship, overcoming obstacles and the true meaning of high school athletics. —Courtesy of WMUR

Patients locked out after doctor’s office closes

TILTON — Patients knocked on the door of Riverfront Medical Group on Monday morning, but the door remained closed after Dr. Susan Hare’s office abruptly closed over the weekend. “I was just diagnosed with Lyme disease, and I’m trying to get that taken care of. I don’t want people to have to keep playing with my medication,” said Melissa Geptman. Ivy Cilley said one of her children only has enough medication to get through the day. “I’m very angry that she could do this to her patients,” Cilley said. “What irritates me the most is I have two children with disabilities. How am I going to get them their prescriptions?” Arthur Race was looking for his medical records. “I do have first degree heart block,

which is a pacemaker I need to have checked periodically,” he said. Hare showed up at about 9 a.m. but did not answer any questions. It’s not only patients left in the lurch. Dori Malo, a former employee, has a paycheck that she said is worthless. “I haven’t been able to cash it at all. There’s no funds in the account,” she said. She said she knew the office was having problems but said Dr. Hare told her she was working things out. Malo said she found out that was a lie this weekend. Hare had her license to practice suspended for two years by the New Hampshire Medical Board for professional misconduct after allegations related to prescription practices. —Courtesy of WMUR

Woman found dead in car at the Salem Flea Market

SALEM — Police are investigating after a 69-year-old woman was found dead inside of her vehicle in the parking lot at the Salem Flea Market on Sunday. Salem police said they got a call from a friend who reported the Somerville, Mass., woman missing. Detectives and the state medical

examiner responded to the scene on Hampshire Road in Metheun, Mass. Police said foul play is not suspected and the woman likely died from medical issues. Police are not releasing the identity of the victim pending family notification. —Courtesy of WMUR

Thanks for helping spread awareness To the editor, I would like to take a moment to thank all who helped in my effort to spread awareness during Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week, February 7-14th. Before June 2010 I had never heard of Congenital Heart Disease but as one of the 40,000 families who were affected by this diagnosis last year, I am compelled to spread education and awareness about such an important topic. I never expected the overwhelming response I received. After downloading a CHD informational brochure, I contacted Robbie and Taylor at Seventh Street Graphics for a printing quote. You can imagine my surprise when they generously donated 500 brochures! I then contacted Dr. Beals of CCFHS and Dr. Rich Laracy of Saco River Medical Group who both agreed to display the brochures at their respective office locations. The doctors and mid-wives of Northern Women’s Health and Memorial Hospital also agreed to dispense the materials

to their patients and Sue at the GCLC was happy to help by giving stickers and information to the pre-school students and parents. Early Support Services of Conway not only displayed the brochures in their waiting room but will be including them in future intake packets for all new infant and children! And lastly, a big thank you to Craig of the Berlin Daily Sun for his persistence in ensuring that my press release was published- your work does not go unnoticed. The assistance of everyone involved helped make 2011 CHD Awareness Week a success and I look forward to working together next year. If you have questions or would like information about Congenital Heart Defects please visit the following websites: American Heart Association- http:// www.heart.org; Children’s Heart Foundation- http:// www.childrensheartfoundation.org; Congenital Heart Information Network-http:// www.tchin.org Jennifer Lemoine Gorham

Tuckerman ravine at wonderful attraction To the editor: Many people visit this wonderful attraction. It has the shape of a “bowl.” In the spring, skiers take advantage of the wonderful skiing. Tuckerman Ravine was named after Dr. Edward Tuckerman. He was a botanist. In the summer and fall a variety of plants can be seen on the way up. In the

winter the ravine is quite a sight when the “bowl” has more than its share of snow in it. It has been many years since I have hiked up to “tucks.” I do remember the wonderful views from every direction. I also remember how quick the weather could change. Oscar Patry Gorham

Mesa Arch

Ithaca Bound

Workshop

We did not have long to wait. The spreading early morning light kissed the arch by which we were all waiting and set it aglow with a crimson blush that left us all in awe of how Nature so often enriches our lives with its unrivaled beauty. Quickly, however, our eyes were at the viewfinders of our tripod-mounted cameras, composing the pictures we had left the warm comfort of our motel rooms to get, making final adjustments to the apertures and shutter speeds of our respective cameras, and carefully pressing the button that would forever capture the stunning beauty of morning’s first light at Mesa Arch. Morning light at Mesa Arch is one of the major attractions of Canyonlands National Park, in Utah. This past December, I was part of a photography workshop that was to spend five days shooting the incredible landscapes of Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, and Dead Horse Point State Park. It was an experience never to be forgotten. Nature’s patiently produced artistry far exceeds anything made by human hands. Gordon and Cathy Illg run a photography business called Adventure Photography, which schedules and leads a number of workshops throughout the year, both in this country and abroad, for camera enthusiasts of all ages and of all skill levels. The one I attended was called “Arches and Canyonlands.” The moment I saw it advertised online, two national parks to which I had never been, I knew it was the workshop for me. My flight to Grand Junction Airport, in Colorado, landed shortly after 12:30, on a Sunday afternoon in December. Before long, the other photographer taking the workshop with me and I were on our way with the Illgs to Moab, Utah. Within half an hour of our arrival at the motel where we would stay, we were back in their van and on our way to Arches National Park, where we would take our first pictures of the workshop at North Arch. Lingering through early evening, we took photographs of Balanced Rock against the backdrop of a star-studded sky. The next morning brought an early wakeup call, as we would drive to Canyonlands National Park for the colorful shots of Mesa

Arch basking in the growing glow of sunrise. Others had already arrived before us, their cameras set up and ready to start firing the moment sunrise tinged the arch a rich red and orange. The never-to-be-forgotten sight of the first shafts of morning light on Mesa Arch was well-worth waking before dawn to experience. That afternoon found us back in Arches National Park ready to take the one-and-ahalf mile hike to Delicate Arch to see and photograph it as the evening’s light bathed it in its final rays of glory. A few others had made the trek also, and we all shook our heads in wonderment when the magic moments arrived. The walk back to our van was a bit more difficult, as darkness was now quickly closing in. We had all taken flashlights, of course, in anticipation of the hike back down from Delicate Arch, and we were all very glad we did — even those whose night vision is far better than mine. The next day found us on our way to Dead Horse Point State Park. The Point, situated 2,000 feet above the Colorado River, provides a spectacular view that is often called “Utah’s Grand Canyon.” Again, the rich colors of the canyon as revealed and enhanced by the early light of the day challenged the very limits of a camera’s capabilities. Fortunately, professional help was right at hand to make suggestions and check our results. A couple of my workshop shots accompany this article. As I write this, my wife and I are making preparations for our upcoming trip to Norway. Our coastal voyage among Norway’s famed fjords promises to provide an abundance of magnificent vistas that would challenge the artistry of any photographer. I do not expect any of my efforts to find their way into the pages of “National Geographic Magazine,” of course, but I relish the challenge of trying to take a picture or two of which I can be justly proud. As for another photographer’s workshop this year, I’m already researching what’s out there — and what my wallet tells me I can afford. (Ithaca Bound is the pen name of Dick Conway.

Plans for ‘United We Band’ in the works for May event To the editor: Super Saturday “United We Band” 2011 (SS11) is getting set to get under way Saturday, May 14 at the Notre Dame Arena. Last year’s event consisted of nine local bands/musicians who donated their time and skills to help raise money to light up the skate park in what was a dark, hidden section in the back corner of community field. Local vendors were given the opportunity to set up booths and showcase merchandise. We would like to once again thank all who were involved for your commitment to the community. We would also like to give you the opportunity to help make this year’s event an even larger success. This year is being aimed toward the exterior appearance of the “Old Arena” herself. The Notre Dame Arena

plays a large role in the community of Berlin. Whether it’s high school hockey, broom ball, men’s league, pee wee, Friday night public skating, or events such as SS11, (excuse me if I left any out) it provides Berlin with a place for entertainment and community interaction. These are things we all want to preserve in Berlin. A couple areas we are looking at are paving the parking lot that is riddled with holes, or re-vamping the facade of the lobby entrance. Everything costs money. Therefore, the more involvement from the community, the better the chances of a timely success. For donations, pledges, sponsorship, vending, etc. please contact us by e-mail: unitedweband@gmail.com or Antly at (603) 387-5611. The members of Burne

Union employees’ work made nursing home the best To the editor: Congratulations USW Local 75 Members! The hard work of the Union employees at St. Vincent de Paul has helped make our nursing home the best in the state. Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication, and commitment to our residents. The U.S. News and World Report has published its list of the best nursing homes in the United States. Over 15,000 nursing homes in the country were ranked. In NH, of the 79 licensed nursing homes in the

State, St. Vincent de Paul has been rated #1. As the only unionized Catholic Charities nursing home in New Hampshire, we have proven to our management, residents and community that everyone benefits from an organized healthcare facility. Again, we’d like to thank you for all of your hard work and commitment. In Solidarity, St. Vincent de Paul Communication Team USW Local 75

Thanks to all those who contributed to pet food drive To the editor, A huge “thank you!” to a caring community and all who participated in the first pet food drive of 2011!

Laidlaw is seeking to construct a 70-megawatt biomass plant on the former pulp mill site. It has obtained a certificate to construct and operate the facility from the state Site Evaluation Commission. That certificate is conditional on an approved power purchase agreement. Laidlaw has said it will employ 40 people directly and create hundreds of indirect jobs in the forest industry. It estimates it will become the city’s larget taxpayer. Opposition to the power agreement has come from a group of small biomass plants who argue they have not be able to get the same agreement from PSNH. The state Office of the Consumer Advocate opposed the agreement, arguing it will cost ratepayers an additional $144 million over the life of the contract.

Math error causes tax-rate adjustment BY CRAIG LYONS THE CONWAY DAILY SUN

GORHAM — An error that led to the miscalculation of the projected school portion of the tax rate for Gorham, Randolph and Shelburne drew few questions at a hearing Thursday night. The Gorham Randolph Shelburne Cooperative School Board held a hearing to discuss an error that incorrectly calculated the anticipated impact on the tax rate. Once the error was discovered and corrected, the proposed bud-

“We’re number one in the state,” said Marquis. Coos County Nursing Home was just slightly behind St. Vincent. “It’s a nice pat on the back for everyone,” said Coos County Nursing Home Administrator Louise Belanger. Tying Coos County at second on the list was another North Country nursing home – the Morrison Nursing Home in Whitefield. Both Marquis and Belanger credited their employees for the exceptional scores. “We have the best staffing in the state,” said Marquis. Marquis noted that her workforce is stable and committed. She said many

get’s impact on the tax rate is higher than previously discussed. The actual projected tax rate impact is a $2.24 increase for Gorham; a 65 cent increase for Randolph; and a 15 cent decrease for Shelburne. This would make the anticipated school portion of the tax rate $13.52 for Gorham; $7.38 for Randolph; and $7.94 for Shelburne. It was reported that the projected tax impact for Gorham was an 84 cent increase; 7 cent increase for Randolph; and a 42 cent decrease for Shelburne.

Superintendent Paul Bousquet said a mathematical error was caused when the incorrect figure representing the 2010-2011 tax rate was factored into the calculations. But the impact on the tax rate is the only thing that’s different, said Bousquet. “Nothing in the budget has changed,” he said. Even though the proposed budget won’t change leading up to the annual

members of her staff have worked at St. Vincent for 25 to 30 years. “When you have that kind of longevity, it makes a big difference,” she said. Belanger also cited an experienced, dedicated staff that works hard to make residents happy. “We wouldn’t be great if it weren’t for our team,” she agreed. “It’s not an easy job,” she added. Belanger said she thinks another reason Coos County nursing homes rate so high is because the communities are tight-knit and residents and staff are almost like family. Many times, staff will know residents or their families and that helps the transition and gives the staff insight into the resident. U.S. News evaluated nursing homes across the country using data from

Nursing Home Compare, a consumer web site run by the federal Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services. The data comes from health inspections are carried out by state agencies and reports from the nursing homes. The report looked at three areas: health inspections, nursing staff, and quality of care. Scores from those three areas were combined to come up with an overall rating. St. Vincent received five stars in all three areas to come up with an overall score of five stars. Coos County also received a five staff overall rating but missed a five star ranking in one of its inspections.

school meeting, Bouquet said a number of things are going on locally and in Concord that could impact the budget. In order to mitigate the impact on the tax rate, Bousquet said the school system is exploring other health insurance possibilities that could lead to some savings. He said the potential savings could be between 8 and 11 percent, for a total of approximately $80,000 to $85,000. But this isn’t a done deal yet. Bousquet said this change is still in the works. In Concord, Bousquet said a number of bills are under consideration that could lead to changes in the budget. One of those bills could readjust the adequacy aid the school receives back to the current levels. “Until June, no one really knows where we’re going to be,” said Bousquet. While there weren’t any specific questions about the miscalculation in the tax rate, David Graham, of Gorham, said he wonders if the school board’s decision to approve the proposed teachers’ contract would be have been different if board members knew of the correct figures for the projected tax rate impact. “The teachers’ contract is totally separate,” said business administrator Pauline Plourde.

She said the projected tax rate impact figures don’t include the proposed teachers’ contract. She added the tax rate impact figures include the 3.65 percent increase that’s included in the current contract. She said if the new proposed teachers’ contract was approved, the projected tax rate impact would change. Under the terms of the proposed contract, there would be no salary or scale increase during the first year. In year two, there would be a 3.65 percent increase, totaling about $74,503; in year three, there would be a 3.54 percent increase for a total of $46,058; and the final year, there would be a 4.5 percent increase for about $92,634. The board ratified the contract by a 5-3 vote, though it still needs to be voted on at the annual meeting in March. The proposed contract was introduced after the union agreed to open up its previous contract and forgo a raise in the 2011- 2012 budget cycle, and save an English teaching position that’s slated to be cut. Robert Demers, of Gorham, said he fails to see the benefit of saving $33,000 this year, under the proposed contract, when the towns will wind up paying nearly a quarter of a million dollars over the course of the fouryear contract.

Marketing plan in place for Bickford Place site BY BARBARA TETREAULT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

BERLIN – RE/MAX Northern Edge Realty will market the sale or lease of Bickford Place at 145 Main Street for the Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority. Meeting Wednesday, authority chair Michael Caron said only RE/MAX submitted a proposal to handle the sale of the building. Under the terms set by the authority, it will be handled as an open listing with a minimum sale price of $325,000. The authority reserved the right to increase the minimum price as improvements are made to the building. The authority’s lease committee will meet with RE/ MAX to discuss leasing and rental rates. The city’s three real estate firms were asked to submit proposals to handle the sale of the property. In his proposal, Matthew Martel outlined what RE/MAX will do to market the property, including creating a web site and video tour, advertising it in a variety of newspapers, and using social media to get the word out. He said his agency will provide weekly updates to the authority. The board decided to accept the RE/ MAX proposal. “We need to get this thing on the market,” said Caron. Bickford Place is the former RiteAid building on Main Street, abutting Bickford Lane on the side. The property was donated to Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority a couple of years ago. The authority has invested some money in the building and is having the facade improved in hopes of selling the property or renting out space inside. Vice chair Peter Higbee said it was

important the authority maintain the right to increase the sale price because the building will look dramatically different in six to eight months when the facade work and side park are completed. To the exterior of the building, work is under way to create a dramatic facade using tubular steel set off about a foot from the building. Authority member Jay Poulin said Isaacson Structural Steel is fabricating the steel. On the south side, the authority is creating a pocket park that will remain under the city’s ownership. It will include a fountain, a small stage and tables. A translucent canopy will cover part of the park to allow use in inclement weather. Work on the project has shut down because of the weather. Poulin said work should get under way in another month or so. Poulin asked city manager Patrick MacQueen about the city’s ability to maintain the park, which will include landscaping as well as the fountain. MacQueen said the council gave its support to the project so he will ensure the work is done. Poulin said there will be the fountain and irrigation lines that will need to be checked regularly. Caron suggested Poulin put together a list of work that will need to be done to properly maintain the park. He said the list should identify work that has to be done at the beginning and end of each season as well as work that has to be done throughout the year. Poulin agreed to put together such a list for the city. Terms were up for Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority officers but the board nominated and resee next page

Heritage Park hosts children’s camp during February vacation week BERLIN — Tri-County Community Action Program has another great children’s program planned during February School Vacation. Winter Wonder Week is the theme for the five-day camp to be held at the Northern Forest Heritage Park February 21-25. Children grades K-8 will have tons of fun as they play and learn in the snow. Two artist-in-residence programs, presented in partnership with the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire, will be among the highlights of the week; both are part of a region-wide celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Weeks Act.Students will begin the week on Monday with a day of snow sculpting with artist-in-residence Mark Ragonese of Bellows Falls, Vermont. All camp participants will work as a sculpting crew shaping snow into a form relating to the theme of mountains, forest and the logging trade. “We’ll work with buckets, shovels and our hands,” says Ragonese. “The aim is to create a larger-thanall-of-us sculpture that will remain on site and may be played on, and added to, as the week progresses.” On Tuesday, participants will create nature comics, with the theme of “Adventures in Our Environment,” with artist-in-residence Marek Bennett of Henniker, NH. Students will brainstorm, cartoon on display paper, and then draw comics that illustrate their relationship to the North Country environment. Comics will be displayed and, if time permits, anthologized. Mark Ragonese is a master woodworker, sculptor, and multi-media artist who designs and builds one-of-a-kind fine furniture and sculpture, as well as outdoor site and event specific installations.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Lynn Johnston by Scott Adams

DILBERT

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s no benefit to busying yourself without first making a clear plan. Being productive is about doing one thing at a time and completing each task before you go on to the next one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll think about all the things you could do instead of what you’re supposed to be doing. Perhaps it’s time to configure your schedule differently to stave off that old ennui. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The right kind of failure can be as impressive as success. Anyone who is moving forward is going to falter -- that’s part of the growth process. You will be in a forgiving mood. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As a rule, you like to be as straightforward as possible. That’s why you will be prone to sharing your unfiltered thoughts and stating your intentions outright, even if you don’t think the other person would approve. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may try to take yourself out of a game, not because you think you’ll lose but because you’ll win. You either don’t want the prize, or you don’t want to hurt the feelings of the other players. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 22). You find balance this year and are able to create satisfaction in several areas of your life at once. Before the week is over, you’ll receive a special gift to commemorate your progress. The next six weeks show you in romantic settings, sharing your heart. You’ll make deals and impress your family in May. Capricorn and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 24, 11, 40 and 30.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You haven’t done anything wrong, and yet you still would benefit from a purification process. The residue of normal life can be messy on emotional and spiritual levels. Take deep cleansing breaths. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will have an enlightening conversation with a person you negotiate and interact with on a daily basis. You will learn that this person is deeper -- and funnier -- than expected. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You help others see the bigger picture in their lives, but sometimes it’s hard to do this for yourself. That’s why it’s so important to step back and do a new activity today. It will help you get perspective. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be dealing with the mistakes of others. It’s easy for you to do this without passing blame, because you have made similar mistakes in the past. You’ll focus on fixing the problem, learning from it and moving on. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your optimism comes naturally today, and you’ll gravitate toward the upside in every situation. Your example will be followed. You will give hope to someone who isn’t feeling so hopeful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be bargaining for what you want. It is only when you are really willing to lose the deal that you are in a good place to negotiate. Remind yourself how strong you are on your own. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It could take you much longer than usual to get into the groove of working. You’ll have your head in the clouds, but at least they are white, puffy clouds. The storms know to avoid you.

Part-Time Respite Provider

by Abigail Van Buren

HOMELESS FAMILY FACES HARD CHOICE FOR SAKE OF CHILDREN

DEAR ABBY: I need advice from someone who doesn’t know me personally. My husband and I have been married four years and have three lovely kids. Recently we have hit hard times. A few months ago my husband lost his job, and from there we hit rock bottom. Right now we are sleeping in our car. My problem is I don’t like having my kids live like this. It makes me mad and I feel like a bad parent. I could go to a women’s shelter, but I don’t want to break up my family. I’m scared, and I’m not sure what to do. My husband is working now, but we don’t have enough money to get an apartment, so I was considering staying in a hotel -- but it will take some time before we can do that. Do you think we should stay at the shelter until we have a place, or until we can get a hotel room? I need some serious advice. -- SCARED IN LUBBOCK, TEXAS DEAR SCARED: I’m glad you asked. You should check out the shelter and see what kind of accommodations they can make for you and your small children. It’s a better, safer environment for them than five people sleeping in a car. I know this is a painful decision, but it isn’t “breaking up the family.” It is only temporary until you and your husband have saved enough for accommodations together again. DEAR ABBY: For the last five years I have had no time for myself. I’m 30 and have a wonderful wife and two daughters, 7 and 4. I work a 40-hour week and go to school full-time. I don’t want to sound selfish, because I know that my priorities are my wife and daughters, and I enjoy spending “quality time” with them. But I also feel that every other week or so, I should be able to get away for a few hours by myself to enjoy 18 holes of golf or go fishing.

If I tell my wife I’m going to do something, she makes me feel guilty. If I ask, she gives me the third degree. I know she doesn’t need or want time to herself because I have asked her repeatedly if she does, hoping she’d return the favor -- but she doesn’t give me “permission.” Am I asking the impossible? How do I find time for myself and tell my wife without upsetting her? -- “SELFISH” IN SPRINGFIELD DEAR “SELFISH”: (Almost) everyone needs “alone time” to pursue personal interests and unwind. You have a full schedule and you deserve quality time for yourself. Out of consideration for your wife, ask her if playing golf or fishing on a specific day conflicts with any couple or family event she had planned. And be sure to tell her that having some time to yourself will make you a better husband and father -- because it’s the truth. Then go and enjoy yourself, and don’t feel guilty. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend is new to Facebook and insists on posting something daily. The problem is he can’t spell, and it’s quite embarrassing. I’ve told him he should reread his posts before he sends them, but he doesn’t. How should I handle this? -- CAN YOU SAY SPELL CHECK? DEAR SPELL CHECK: Your boyfriend’s problem isn’t that he can’t spell. It’s that he’s too lazy to use spell check. Much as you might like to “handle this” for him, you can’t. Some people must learn their lessons the hard way, and until he embarrasses himself badly enough to proofread his postings, he’ll continue not checking his spelling. Warning: Do not step in and become his editor or it could become a full-time job.
