From your Councilor...
CONTINUED FROM PAGE B:1
Debt capacity
The town has $138,000,000 in
outstanding debt but has a debt
limit (based on equalized property
value) of $587,000,000. That means
ifwe really need to borrow funds for
a big expense(s), we have a huge
equity cushion to tap into (I'm
not advocating that!). Cash flow
actually improves aswegoforward
because the town maintains an
aggressive debt reduction policy.
Barnstable is fortunate to carry
credit ratings of: Aal from Moody's
and AA+ from Standard & Poor's.
That isthe second best credit rating
a municipality can get, and we are
in the top tier of all 351 communi-
ties in Mass.
Operating Budget
The town's General Fund Op-
erating Budget for FY 2007 is
$123,300,000. Adding in the seven
enterprise accountsbumps,the to-
tal budget to $142,500,000. Add the
budgets ofthe fivefire districts, and
Barnstable becomes a community
of major financial proportions. On
the revenue side to help pay those
expenses, property taxes contrib-
ute almost $82,000,000; excisetaxes,
$6,400,000; motel taxes,$1,600,000;
fees and permits $2,100,000; and
a number of other sources are
tapped. State aid only represents
$13,800,000 of Barnstable'srevenue
stream. Keep in mind that almost
half the tax levy increase over the
last 10 years has come from new
property growth.
Afewmore statisticsIfound inter-
esting about our town: Barnstable
issuesquarterlytaxbillsnowresult-
ing in 200,000 tax bills being sent
out and collected annually. The
Assessing Dept has 35,000 parcels
to value annually. Six thousand
are physically inspected each year.
Forty thousand paychecks are pro-
cessed annually. There are 19,000
active general ledger accounts to
manage.
I want to thank the town's Com-
prehensive Financial Advisory
Committee (CFAC), the council's
finance committee, for their hard
work getting back into the budget

while a soulful harp tunes in to
the simple life down in the valley.
"Whenever I went on a business
trip or vacation, I brought my
harmonica,"for his own entertain-
ment when the rest of the family
went shopping.
"When I got my Ph.D., the Army
waswaitingfor me,"Lipinsky said.
"They sent me to a research and
development center in Natick,"
which iswhere he met and married
Ellen,his wife of 48 years. Besides
their daughter,they have two sons
in Connecticut.
The harmonica course he teach-
es today is basic; it introduces
students to the instrument that,
surprisingly,has anumber ofvaria-
tions and can range in price from
about $5 to well over $100.
Most students begin with a
roughly $35 "solo" harp that is in
the key of "C" on the "diatonic
scale," which is a scale of whole
notes lacking sharps or flats.
Lipinsky suggests students get
the "12-hole"instrument although
the "10-hole" will do.
Harmonicas on the diatonic
scale are used also as "blues"
harps, but each individual blues
harp comes in only one key. Pro-
fessional players carry seven blues
harp? around with them on a belt,
ready to wail in any key a given
band might prefer.
Lipinsky owns a "chromonica"
-a 16-hole affair that is somewhat
large but has a plunger on one
end that offers the player sharp
and flat notes.
When a Connecticut resident
with a Chatham summer cottage
recently read a school advertise-
ment about the class, "...he called
to find out if he could join in. He
was ready to make the trip for the
class then turn around and drive
back to Connecticut."
Lipinsky dissuaded him. Learn-
ing the harmonica shouldn't be
that demanding.
