for financial assistance is
being considered. There
are a lot of good people out
there working to help those
among us who are most
vulnerable due to physical
or mental disabilities. To
help, send tax-deductible
donations to "Operation In
From The Cold", c/o Cape
Cod Council of Churches,
Box 758, Hyannis Ma 02601.
This effort is also inspir-
ing other initiatives to
help the homeless, with
groups such as Community
Action, the Duffy Center,
NOAH Shelter, Salvation
Army, and the Barnstable
Police Dept. collaborating
on creative solutions to a
complex issue. The Human
Services Committee is also
compiling a list of other hu-
man service issues relevant
to the Town of Barnstable
and will be developing pri-
orities in the near future.
The Barnstable Youth
Commission is also moving
ahead apace. The young
people on the Commission
are working on projects
that will enable the Town
of Barnstable to be named
a "No Place for Hate"
community some time this
spring. More information
will be forthcoming on
the projects as they near
completion.
The Youth Commission is
open to any young person
between the ages of 13-19
who lives or goes to school
in the Town of Barnstable.
The next meeting is Thurs-
day, Jan. 26, at 2 p.m. in
Room 2108 at Barnstable
High School. Meetings
are usually held on the
first and third Thursdays
of the month at that time.
Interested adults are also
welcome as advisors.
As the new liaison to the
School Committee (suc-
ceeding Roy Richardson),
I attended my first meet-
ing Jan. 3. It is indeed a
pleasure to be sitting with
this School Committee and
administration. As liaison, I
am privy to all information
except executive session
material, and can partici-
pate in discussions (but do
not vote), so if any Millag-
ers have any school-related
questions or comments,
please contact me through
the Council Office.
We are in a new council
year with new leadership
and one new Councilor
-welcome, Fred! - we will
be working in the coming
weeks (hopefully using
both sides of our brains) on
council priorities, strategic
planning and then budgets.
As always, comments and
questions are welcome as
I continue to do my best
to think globally and act
locally in the interest of
my neighbors, village, and
town.
Don't call it a dump...

else could use and several
containers for used shoes
and clothing.
There are "disposiums"for
rechargeable batteries and
bulbs too and avolunteer
swap shop that diverts a
substantialamount of refuse
that would have to be sent
at town expense to the trash
to energy plant in Rochester.
Last year the town disposed
of 8,349 tons of household
waste and 4,205 tons of
construction materialson a
$1,428 million budget and a
staff of 10.5people.
And the only odor com-
plaints the station might get
once in a whileiswhen work-
ers turn over the large piles
of leaves at the station's com-
posting site where residents
deposit leaves and grass,
thus momentarilyfreeing
methane gas. Annually,sta-
tion users are invited to take
the compost home for their
gardening needs at no cost.
"The station is also an
enterprise account," Santos
explains, "one of the few
transfer stations operating
without tax subsidies. It
pays for itself with enough
left over to "transfer"
$280,000 annually for periph-
eral municipal services, such
as payroll and support from
other town departments."
Longtime residents may
remember when the facil-
ity was a literal dump. It
resembled an airport for
seagulls that circled and
screamed and had dogfights
for scraps of man'sleavings
as they were mounded in
open pits. They remember
papers and debris swirling
in the wind and sticking to
fences. It was a dump and it
smelled and looked like it.
Villagers had to live with
the stench of the old days
until the "dump," at the urg-
ing of the state along with
other dumps, morphed into
a "landfill" requiring the
day's leavings to be covered
with layers of material to
hide the garbage from the
gulls, diminish odors and
discourage foraging varmint.
A little more than a decade
ago, the town, at the state's
insistence, decided to cap the
landfill. It was an expensive
and thus controversial deci-
sion. Then DPW chief Tom
Mullen gave that project to a
young engineer named Mark
Ells, who is now superinten-
dent of public works.
Two hills of trash, occupy-
ing some 52 of the 70+ acres,
are covered with a plastic
liner, a foot of sand, several
inches of loam and numer-
ous vents allowing methane
to escape. Unless some kind
of use is found for the now
grass-covered hills, they will
remainjust as they are.
The evolution from dump
to transfer and recycling
station had its moments.
There used to be a conveyor
belt at the landfill where
folks would plunk their junk
to be carried to huge wait-
ing trucks. "It was a prob-
lem," Santos recalls with a
smile.Drivers took forever
to back their cars to the
conveyor opening and slowly
unload. Some folks wore out
the welcome mat to chitchat
a few minutes as drivers in
a queue of idling cars fumed
while waitingfor their turn.
It was a favorite venue
for politicians to meet the
voters and distribute flyers,
only to have them eventual-
ly discarded in the conveyor
when they weren't looking.
Simultaneously,the town
replaced the conveyor with
a series of accommodating
compaction boxes "that
spread the traffic that now
moves much better", said
Santos, and took a serious
step into recycling.
"Today we have 10 recy-
cling stations on line for
paper, plastics, glass, cans,
and other materials," Santos
said.
It's difficult to imag-
ine such a large facility in
Hyannis, or Osterville or
in the historic north side
villages.As such, Marstons
Mills plays a starring albeit
unheralded role on the stage
of communityliving.
