I prep ared thisstatementfor
the Nov. 18 council meeting;in
light of the brewing controver-
sy over the tax shift ,I thought
I would share it again.
Split Town
Before I was elected , I
contemplated my actions as
a town councilor in certain
situations. One was a ballot
question such as we are fac-
ing tonight. I resolved within
myself,that on a ballot initia-
tive I would follow the voters'
wishes, with only one caveat.
I would not do anything I
believed to be harmful to our
community. I calculated the
cost of my actions; I recog-
nized I could even possibly
loose any position on the
council.
Over the last two years, I
have continued to contem-
plate that plan of action, and
It has rooted only deeper as
the proper course of action.
"DO NO HARM."
I can onlyattempt to convey
the strength of conviction I
have in regard to the harm we
will bring dividing ourselves
and implementing anything
greater than the factor of one
for the business or non-resi-
dent taxpayer.
We are asked to pledge our
allegiance to this Republi c at
everymeeting.Wepledge to its
guiding principles of justi ce
and its indivisibility, Yet to-
night we are being asked to go
against those principles.
Supreme Court Justice
John Marshall wrote that
"the power to tax involvesthe
power to destroy."
I believe actions have
consequences and I heed
this statement as a warn-
ing to those in office.
People are crying out for
FREEDOM FROM THE OP-
PRESSION OF GOVERN-
MENT, represented by taxes.
Yet in order to do it they are
willing to become oppressors
and tyrants themselves.
We can argue the dispar-
ity of numbers all night, so
I won't use too many, As for
the anything greater than the
factor of one for the business
community, I am in favor of
the Hyannis Fire District's
implementation of a factor
greater than one.
I believe the demand for
services by the business com-
munity are greater than the
residential and thus seems
adequate.
I could be convinced for
a factor greater than one
if the business community
represented 20 percent of
the town and paid 10 per-
cent of the taxes, but this
kind of disparity does not
exist. The tax structure is
fair!
As for the residential ex-
emption,just because you can
do something doesn't make
it right!
To have non-resident tax-
payers or non-voting resi-
dential taxpayers pay a dis-
proportionate tax is absolute
tyranny, taxation without
representation. The divisive

Woman acts on
dream of kids'
art school in
Hyannis
By Paul Gauvin
pgauvin@barnstablepatrlot.com
PAUL GAUVIN PHOTC
ART FOR KIDS -Danielle Aleta Engle will open TreAnglique Art School
andGallery later this month at 68 Center St.,Hyannis,offering classes ii
various art forms for children and adults. With her at the studio are het
children,from left, Kiana, Alyssa and Jonas and some of her work.
With the exception of a few
pieces of eclectic furniture
set on the wide-board floor-
ing, there appeared little else
in the unheated building but
chilled oxygen molecules in
the company of a diminutive
woman sitting by a window,
smiling.
But when Danielle Aleta
Engle spoke, the space filled
with convincing optimism
that art, education and
entrepreneurship can form
a compatible trio capable of
succeeding in the shadow
of downtown Hyannis' Main
Street.
Engle, in fact, is betting
her modest savings on it.
At 34, she has a dream and
is willingto personally fund
the startup of a gallery and
school of art for children and
adults in a defunct mini-golf
course building at 68 Center
St., just west of the Cape
Cod Bus terminal.
The roughly 1200 sq. foot
barn-like structure with
cellar and attic has a large
room on the ground floor
where Engle will launch the
TreAngelique Art School and
Gallery on March 19.
Engle earns her living as
"...an artist and art teacher"
who currently tutors at the
Cotuit Art Center and the
Barnstable County 4-H after-
school program.
A washashore, she found
her way to Hyannis three
years ago via a circuitous
route. From Brockton , where
she was raised, she attended
UMass at Amherst where she
received a degree in con-
sumer studies. She lived in
Amherst for 12 years. "I did
everything but art while at
UMass," she says, including
marriage and children.
When I was pregnant with
my son, Jonas, I started
doing art again," Engle said,
"I thought a natural pro-
gression would be to take
art courses so I enrolled
at Westfield State to study
art education." That effort
was ended after one year by
divorce and a natural urge to
resettle.
"I didn't want to go back
to Brockton. I learned in
Amherst that I am not a
city person. My best friend
lived here (in Hyannis) and I
thought it best to be where I
knew somebody."
It is an opportune time
for Engle's venture since
Hyannis as a village is begin-
ning to focus on art for ev-
eryone, beginning with con-
struction of the art shacks
on the waterfront last year
to the recent charette - a
forum of like minded people
generating art ideas - bring-
ing art and its promise to
the town's retail, tourist,
business and transportation
center.
Engle had a proclivity for
art from an early age. "My
6th Grade teacher thought I
had potential and suggested
I take extra art classes
offered to children at the
Fuller Museum in Brock-
ton. But my mother headed
a single-parent family of
four children and couldn't
really afford it. As it turned
out Fuller and my school
helped me get scholarships.
I studied at Fuller until I left
Brockton for college."
That's why she hopes she
will be able to raise enough
money through classes,
memberships, grants, fund-
raisers and other assistance
that will allow her to offer
financial aid, sliding scale
feels and scholarships to
area children who otherwise
would not be exposed to the
world of art in its myriad
forms.
The years I spent at the
Fuller Museum had a big
impact on me. Later when
I really thought about what
makes me happy, the core
of me, it was art. I want to
be able to give others the
opportunity, like I had at
Fuller, to take art classes no
matter what their financial
situation."
She also plans to develop
a summertime art camp for
kids with morning and after-
noon sessions.
Engle said she has gotten
a lot of advice about starting
a business from SCORE, the
Chamber of Commerce and
EntreCenter. "They were all
very helpful," she said. "My
aim though is to eventually
become a non-profit."
Besides teaching and car-
ing for her three children,
daughters Kiana, 12, and
Alyssa, 9, and son Jonas,
7, she is in the process of
preparing the studio, setting
up classes and creating fliers
with course offerings to be
disseminated in the schools
and at libraries.
She has already, by herself ,
constructed a room divider
using for hollow-core doors
with brass hinges upon
which to hang art and divide
the large room when neces-
sary. "I had to lay the doors
on the floor to get it all
straight" she recalls with an
engaging laugh.
