Giants sign
former
Browns' OL

...
'.

EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J . (AP)- The New York
Giants
signed
former
Cleveland Browns offensive
lineman Barry Stokes on
Sunday.
The signing came a week
after New York signed Shaun
O' Hara, who also played for
the Browns.·
"He 's excited and I'm
excited." Stokes said of playing with o· Hara again, "!
think it's important to go to a
team that has great chemistry
on the offensive line. When I
was at the stadium and I saw
those guys working out, I
could see they 're a close-knit
group."
Stokes , a 6-foot-4, 310pounder, started 13 games at
left tackle last season and 17
the year before at left guard,
including a playoff game, He
also played for Giants coach
Tom
Coughlin
in
Jacksonville.
"Tom Coughlin knows my
work ethic," the six-year veteran said. "I'm excited to
play for him. I' ve never been
scared of hard work. I want to
be somewhere where the
head coach can take you all
the way."
The Giants' offensive line
was decimated by injuries
last season. Left guard Rich
Seubert missed half the sea- ·
son with a broken leg and left
Iackie Luke Petitgout was
sidelined at different times
with a back problem.
Petitgout is expected back,
but Seubert may not be ready
for the start of the season,
Coughlin said.
Chris Bober, who started at
both center and tackle last
season for the Giants, signed
with Kansas City as a free
agent on Saturday. O' Hara is
expected to start at center this
year.
Stokes spent three seasons
mostly with the Green Bay
Packers before joining the
Browns in 2002. He made his
NFL debut with Miami in
1998 after spending time on
the Jaguars, Rams and
Dolphin s practice squads
from 1996-98 .

Taxes: APuzzle for Investors
WASHINGTON
(AP)
Investors with capital gains or
dividend income from slacks, real
estate and other assets can expect
new benefits from lower tax rates,
but they 're also bound to spend
more time poring over paperwork
to calculate those savings.
The benefits tlow from new tax
rates enacted in May, which
reduced the rates on capital gains
from 20 percent and 10 percent to
15 percent and 5 percent. The
changes took effect May 6.
Dividends, previously taxed at
the investor's ordinary income tax
rate, can also qualify for the 15
percent and 5 percent capital gains
rates as of Jan. I, 2003. The
change can mean as much as a 20
percentage point reduction in the
dividend tax rate for wealthier
taxpayers.
"That's a huge difference," said
Jackie Perlman, senior tax
research analyst at H&amp;R Block.
The new tax rates add complications to this year's calculations for
two main reasons .. First, the capital
gains tax rate changed midyear, so
multiple rates apply depending
when the asset was sold. Second,
not all dividends qualify for the
reducedrate, and the total amount
of those that qualify for the low·
ered rate may have to be reported
on the schedule for capital gains
and losses.
Advisers recommend that tax·
payers who are about to wade into
a pile of paperwork take a few
minutes to get organized. "The
first thing I would do is sort out all
of your I099s," Perlman said.
Separate the I099-DIV forms for
dividends and distributions from

Ihe I 099-B forms for stock sales.
Write the date you purchased the
stock or other asset oh the form.
These few steps will put all the
information you need at your fingertips when turning your taxes
over to a preparer or when filling
out the IRS Schedule D, Capital
Gains and Losses.
"It will save you a lot of time
and grief," Perlman said. "It ' ll
save the tax professional time and
grief, and it could even save you ,
money."
To help taxpayers navigate the
new rates for capital gains and
dividends, the IRS revised its
forms that report earnings in each
category.
The new forms detailing information reported by financial insti·
tutions and brokers, destined for
taxpayers in January, break out the
amount of capital gains reported
before and after the May 6 date the
tax rates changed.
Capital gains qualify for the new
15 percent maximum rate if the
asset was held for more than a
year and sold on or after May 6,
2003. Capital gains would be
taxed at a maximum of 20 percent
if the asset was held more than one
year and sold before May 6, 2003.
Capital gains on assets held one
year or less are taxed at ordinary
income tax rates.
.
New tax forms also show the
total dividends received during the
year and document the amount
declared qualified for purposes of
the new tax structure. Dividends
are "qualified dividends" if paid
by U.S. corporations and certain
foreign corporations.
Because the tax rates for divi·
dends were made retroactive to
1an. I, 2003, taxpayers avoid the
confusion of a midyear rate ·
change. But those who purchased
dividend-paying stocks during the
year will have to double check that
they held the stock for the appropriate amount of time to qualify
for the lower rflte.
To be eligible for the lower rate,
the shareholder must hold the
stock for,more than 60 days during

the first day a stockholder would
not qualify for lhat dividend pay·
ment. Since the holding period
starts the day after the purchase
date, a stock bought on the day
before the ex-dividend date cannol
meet the more-than-60 day
requirement for the first dividend
payment to qualify for the lower
tax rate. Generally, a buyer can
obtain the ex-dividend date from a
brokerage or a company's inveslor
relations services:
There's one wrinkle for margin
accounl holders whose brokerages
temporarily lend their slock toothers, a practice common among
brokers. Any dividends paid out
during the time the stock is on
loan go to the borrowers, who lhen
reimburse the stock owners. The
payments received by the stock
owners technically aren't dividends. They ' re known as a "pa·
yments in lieu of dividends," and
they 're not eligible for the lower
rate.

brokers may need more time to

Taxpayers whose only gains or

avoid Schedule D entirely by
using a special worksheet in the
Form I040 or I040A instruction
books. The IRS has revised thi s
worksheet to include the lower tax
rates on qualified dividends.

Dear Editor:
At the anti -free trade rally (Sunday Times-Sentinel , March
14), a speaker noted that in addition to jobs, we are losing our
freedom as well. This is a point to enlarge upon, because the
. Tight to publicly protest is slowly eroding.
In the two recent major free trade protests in Seattle, Wash .,
and Miami , Fla .. cops dressed in storm trooper outfits brutal 'Iy attacked peaceful protesters. At Seattle, a number of special
forces troops posed as protesters and acted as agents provocateurs. There was a call to "take the country back."
· Exactly how is this to be done? For most people, the cure is
·one of simple reform . Get rid of the free -trading rotten eggs in
· "the basket and all will be well. But the system itself is illegit- ·
- imate. Throwing out one party for the other will avail people
nothing because the free-trading Establishment which rules
independently of the political process control s both major par.ties, and it would readily spill rivers of blood to maintain its
.grip on power.
. ~ Any gifted leader who arose to challenge the status quo
would almost certainly be assass inated. I know that those who
. are fired up about the issue don ' t like seeing comments such
. as these, but they must realize what they are up against.

Lucky charms
When Irish actor Pierce
Brosnan got married a few
years ago I read that he hid a
statue of the Infant of Prague
outside the church so that it
wouldn't rain on his wedding. I come from a big Irish
Catholif! family, but I have
to .say, I never heard that one
before.
I'd long forgotten the
Brosnan story until we tried
to sell our old farm to
finance the new one and it
wasn't going smoothly. Sue
vented her frustration to the
Squire's wife, a neighbor
who had come here from
County Clare in 1952. The
years incbetween had not
lessened her brogue. If anything , it had ripened it into a
thin g halfway between a
song and incomprehensible
vocal exercise. Her Rs lingered long ufter the rest of
the word was gone.
"It's not a prrroblem at
tall," she trilled to Sue.
"Didn't I have a sister that
just went through the very
same . thin~? Yearrrs she's
bee n trrrymg to sell her
house. Yearrrs, you underrrstand. I told herrr she must

· Editor:
. On March 6 or 7, my business on Condor St. , Gravely Tractor
. :Sales. was broken into. On Sunday at 12:15 p.m. , I went to my
. ·shop to do some paper work. As soon as I entered the premi ses, I had a feeling something was wrong. Taking a quick check,
: I discovered someone had broken into my business and several
: items were missing. I went outside and noticed a police crui ser
~ about 100 yards down the street. The officer in the crui ser was
' 'James Webster. Webster came to the shop and did a preliminary
. :investigation. He then contacted his assistant chief, Joe Kirby,
:Jr., and Chief Mark Proffitt, who arrived almost immediately.
: 'Completing a thorough investigation, they said they would be
: in touch. Late Sunday, the 7th, the thieves were in custody. My
: -merchandise was returned to me on Thesday morning, the 9th.
: :I feel that our Pomeroy Police officers are the best in Ohio.
Just a shon note to the resident~ of Pomeroy: Don't condemn our
:officers, commend them. Council members, these officers deserve
;every benefit you can give them and every penny you can pay them.
Thank you.

th e
U.S.
In
Supreme Court rul ed that
th ere is no medica l marij uana exception to the fe deral
Co nt rolled Substances Ac t
and th e Food, Drug and
Cos meti c Act. Yet, state and
loc al official s in Cali fo rni a
pretend that the ruling was
never issued.
Indeed, San Diego Police
Chief Bill
Lansdown e
rec entl y informed the C ity
Council. "Our c urrent procedure prote cts the ri ghts of
qu alified pati ents and primary caregiver s to have
access to legal amount s of
marijuana."
If San Francisco Mayo r
Newsom is offended by the
law limiting marriage to a
man and woman , if the UC
Board of Regents doesn 't
care much for the law for bidding racial preferences
1n admissions , if San
Diego 's poli ce chief and
City Council have a problem with federal drug laws
prohibiting marijuana use
for medi cinal purposes,
they should work to change
those laws.
Buf they should not presume to ignore those laws ,
to und ermine the rule of
law.
For as Thurgood Marshall
said: "Lawlessness is lawlessness. Anarchy is anarchy is anarchy. Neither race
nor color nor frustration is
an excuse for either lawlessness or an archy."

Latinos and blacks - at the
ex pense of whites and
Asians.
Indeed. 65 percent of student s admitted to UC
Berkeley and UCLA with
below average SAT scores
in 2002 were Latinos and
blacks; 58 perce nt at UCSD
and 49 percent at UC
Riverside.
The long and short of it i s
that low-scoring "underrepresented minori ties" have a
much better chance of being
admitted to UC ~ chool s
than whites and Asians.
That clearly violates the
e ight-year-old California
law, which unequivocally
declares that the state "shall
not discriminate ag ainst, or
grant preferential treatment
to, any individual or group
on the basis of race , sex ,
color, ethnicity, or national
origin ."
There are al so certain
exce pti onal case s where
state law ought to be
ignored. Not because some
mayor or some board of
regents thinks so, but
because state law contlicts
with superior federal law.
That is the case with the
highly
controversial
California law that allows
marijuana use for -- purportedly -- medicinal purposes. lt clearly runs afoul
with
the
Controlled
Substances Act, the federal
law that classifies marijuana as a Schedule I substance
with a high potential for
abuse. And it violates the
Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act, which requires that a

same ru le is usually also applicable to
touching honor-cards. II you are winning
a trick in hand (or trying to win a trick;
pe rhaps you are finessing), most of the
t1me you should play the higher - second-lowest two touching honors.
(And playing the middle of three sequential honors can be correct.)

After winning trick one, declare r will enter
dummy with a hear! and take. the dia·
mond finesse. If it wins, declarer ra kes in
at least one overtrick. But when the
finesse loses, the co ntract is in danger.
However, West has a difficult decision if
South took the first trick with his spade
ki ng, his second-lowest - higher honor. Perhaps East , not South, has the
spade queen . (Remember, when third
hand plays high, he puts up the bottom ot
equally power1ul cards. With both the
queen and jack, East wou ld play the
jack.) H East has the spade queen, the
defense can run the suit
Here, though , West must shift to a club,
putting East on lead with his ace. Then,
East pushes a spade through declarer for
down two .
If South wins the first tric k with the spade
queen, West knows declarer has the
spa de king too. Switching to a club at
trick four is wrong only when South has
an unlikely doubleton king-queen of
spades and the club ace,
