CONTINUED FROM PAGE B:1 Repair to Private Roads Program that previously existed. It is important to note that this program is not designed to build new roads or for the town to ac- cept any private roads as public roads. It is merely a tool to allow private roads having significant health and safety issues to be brought up to current engineering and safety standards, with said work to be funded 100 percent by the property abutters. I anticipate this issue to come before the Council in the next couple of months. Please do not hesitate to contact me about this issue should you have any questions or concerns. A major review of the budget will take place during the next four months. Our new Town Council President , Henry Farnham, has a strong interest in review- ing the spending plan to ensure that the programs which the town operates are done in a high-quality, and operated in an efficient and effective, manner. Essen- tially, what we do we should do well and what we really cannot afford to operate or what is not essential we should simply not spend the money on. This will require the Council to make tough choices. Before I forget , I want to commend Supt. McDonald and Assist. Supt. Glenn Anderson for their response to the air quality issues which came up at Hyannis East Elementary School. Mr. McDonald and Mr. Anderson did not hesitate to take the bull by the horns and directly address the issue. Finally,I want to thank former Presi- dent Gary Brown for his service as Town Council President. Mr. Brown was loyal to the legislative institution, loyal to his fellow councilors and loyal to the citizens of Barnstable. I am proud to have served under his leadership. And may I sincerely wish our new President , Councilor Hank Farnham, best wishes in his service as the new Town Council President. Lastly, please do not hesitate to con- tact me by phone (508-775-5147) or e-mail (htexprez65@yahoo.com). Once again, my thanks and best wishes. From Your Councilor... PAUL GAUVIN PHOTO HOW SWEET IT IS - Owners Jennifer Cullum and husband, Eduardo Maas, by the candy counter at Sea Street Market. CONTINUED FROM PAGE B:1 Current take-out fare includes soups, salads, signature sandwiches such as the Godfather or Gour- mand to the popular "hot dog" special for 99 cents and luncheon specials. That's in addition to the market's meat counter, groceries, produce , newspa- pers, beer and (of course) a wine section carrying brands "that you won't find in the average liquor store. I know wines," Cullum said," and I know I can't compete with the outlets on price, so I carry the bet- ter wines from the better places." And don't forget the ubiquitous lottery tickets. So far, Cullum said, the market has been blessed with a growing and loyal customer base from the Sea Street and Hyannisport neighborhoods and men- tions names like "Howard Penn from Puritan Clothing and the Cape Cod Times" ordering up luncheon vittles. "It's important to me that we become part of this community," Cullum says with confidence. She said neighborhood children who come in for orders are sometimes given a nickel prize if they can figure out their own change. At Hal- loween, the market spon- sored a pumpkin-carving contest for neighborhood kids, 12 of whom competed for $50, $25 and $15 gift certificates to Borders' book store. "I like promot- ing literacy," the ex-teacher said. Another community en- deavor that has attracted the market's participation is a baby-food drive from Jan. 21-31 in conjunction with the Baby Center of Hyannis. Educated in the classics at Boston University" Latin and ancient Greek " Cullum has a masters degree in the classics from San Francisco State. She lived in Califor- nia for 10 years where she taught middle school Latin and English as a Second Language, was a bartender and waitress while in col- lege and "learned a lot about cooking." In 1995, she took ajob selling wine in the Napa Valley area, got homesick and transferred to Boston in 2000. She gets by in French and is learning Spanish from her husband. Four years ago, a vaca- tion to Cozumel with her mother "changed my life," Cullum said. "While my mother rested, I went on an all-day guided snorkeling trip. I was the only single person in the group, so the guide paired up with me." That was Eduardo * and more than algae bloomed. The rest is history, as they say. Cullum lies awake nights, she says, dreaming of ideas for the market and the community.One of them is to convert part of the outbuildings on the prop- erty into a "planting shed. ., I'd like to put seedlings like tomato and flower plants . out in front of the store with the produce. It would be nice to help neighbor- hood children get involved with planting things." The ideas stem partly from her youth in Orleans where she would stop with friends at a deli and Fancy's market for provisions to bring to the beach. Another more immediate plan is drawing upon Eduardo's mother's ethnic culinary offerings. "We'll start with burritos this year. I'm confident it's (the business and the community rela- tionship) going to be good. I'm very positive about it," Cullum said. "We'll keep on changing to what the com-, munity wants." For the moment, there is a trace scent mingling with the comforting deli aromas. It could be the smell of success.
