PRECINCT 8
HAROLD TOBEY
First, my best for
the new year.I wish
each and every
reader a happy, healthy
and prosperous 2006.
Second, my sincere
thanks to the voters of Pre-
cinct 8 for their continued
support. I am extremely
humbled and honored to
serve as your town council-
or and, again, pledge to be
accessible and work hard
to advance your interests.
Please do not hesitate
to contact me with your
concerns, suggestions or
comments. I list my e-mail
and phone number at the
end of this article.
I'd like to begin by rec-
ognizingtown employees. I
had the wonderful oppor-
tunity to be at the years of
service award ceremony for
Barnstable Town employ-
ees about a month ago. It
never ceases to amaze me
how talented, committed
and dedicated a workforce
we have in Barnstable.
Town employees are
typically the first to be
criticized and the last to
be thanked. Just imagine
what it would have been
like if we had not been
so fortunate to have the
support of town employees
following a winter storm.
I must simply say thank
you to all town employees
and respectfully remind
citizens of how fortunate
and, frankly, blessed we
are to have such a talented
workforce.
The Town Council is
busy with a number of
important initiatives,
several of which I am quite
involved with including
the Hyannis Water Board.
As is well known, the town
has completed the acqui-
sition of the assets of the
former Barnstable Water
Company. In the course of
gearing up for administra-
tion of this new responsi-
bility, the Town Manager
has created a citizens'
advisory board consisting
of residents and ratepay-
ers of the water supply
operation. A new manage-
ment company has been
selected to be the day-
to-day manager of water
supply operations.
As a result of the work
of the racial profiling com-
mittee with which I have
been intimately involved, I
am pleased to say that the
Barnstable Police Depart-
ment has hired a Brazilian
dispatcher, which will al-
low for better communica-
tions between the Police
Department and the
Brazilian community. Hav-
ing someone on hand who
can translate language is
a significant help. I will
be communicating with
you in the coming months
concerning other develop-
ments that have come out
of the racial profiling com-
mittee study.
In addition, I have been
quite busy as a member of
the Council Roads Com-
mittee with a principal
interest being road bet-
terment. Several property
owners have approached
the town council to revisit
the existing but unused
Temporary Repair to Pri-
vate Roads Program. Im-
plementing this program
will allow property abut-
ters on private roads in
need of significant repairs
to avail themselves of a
100-percent betterment
feature with no cost for
the road repairs assumed
by the town. The town will
not be obligated to accept
as a public way any road
that benefits from adop-
tion of this program.
On Nov. 1, the Public
Works Commission, in
recognition of the grow-
ing number of private
roads needing repairs,
voted unanimously to
reinstate the Temporary

SEA ST. MARKET
Move is nothing
to 'wine' about
By Paul Gauvin

ENTREPRENEURS - Jennifer Cullum and husband, Eduardo Maas, outside their Sea Street Market in
Hyannis.
They
say the grass is
always greener on
the other side of the
fence.
So when John LaLiberty
got tired of the long hours
and multiple small-business
headaches as owner/opera-
tor of the Sea Street Market
in Hyannis, he sold the
store with apartment above
and became a wine sales-
man.
Seven years and several
owners later, when wine
saleswoman and Orleans
native Jennifer Cullum
wanted more of a career
challenge than moving
spirits in the Boston area,
she sought sage advice and
investment from her dad,
Jim Cullum, a retired small-
business man himself for 40
years.
After the huddle, Cullum purchased
the Sea Street Market from the South
Asian owners who had fairly run the
business into the ground partly from a
meatless culture that resulted in clos-
ing the market's deli and meat coun-
ter operation, an important source of
revenue.
Since last May, when Cullum and
her husband, Eduardo Maas, a former
diver and guide on the resort island of
Cozumel, Mexico, took over the only
food market south of Main Street, a
spirited revival began taking shape.
"There was no air conditioning in
the building, so we installed it," said
Cullum as she deftly sliced mushrooms
for the day's luncheon quiche special,
"We gutted and re-did the walk-in
cooler, installed a new kitchen, put in
a bathroom because there wasn't one
and had to plumb for a gas line. We're
investing in this community," she said,
"and it will be nice if the community
invests in us. It's a symbiotic relation-
ship."
While the remodeling was under way,
Cullum and her husband re-opened
the market's deli with a commitment
to use only "the best Boar's Head
meat products " with which to offer
an eclectic variety of sandwiches and
lunch fare.
They hope to revive the lunch trade
with area craftsmen who LaLiberty
had honed years ago. "Today," she said
checking the quiche in the oven, "was
our best deli day since we opened."
