BACK TO BASICS - Arthur Vogt of Menders,
Torrey &Spencer of Boston explains how the
Hyannis Youth and Community Center could fit
on the eight-acre site of the Kennedy Rink and
Little League field.
That Monday 's public ses-
sion on the planned Hyannis
Youth and Community Center
was held in the Barnstable Se-
nior Center, itself the fruition
of another multi-year effort to
provide better space, did not go
unnoticed.
In his opening remarks, rec-
reation director David Curley
noted the appropriateness of
the setting given the time it's
taken to move the youth and
community center to this point.
The community session was to
gather thoughts on the needs
such a center could meet. It's
a question that's been asked
before,but the goal now is to
put dollars behind those needs
to see what can be supported in
the final design.
John Juros, hired by the town
as the owner's project manager,
said that the market research
now under way will tell what
the project can and, perhaps,
can't be.
"I hesitate to say immediately
that we can justify two sheets of
ice," Juros said.
The answer to that question,
a cornerstone of the concept
used during the fund-raising
stage, should be known in about
six weeks when the business
and market analyses are com-
pleted.

Cape gets a jump on its next emergency
Citizen volunteers
turn out for training

VOLUNTEERSARE VITAL- SeanO'Brien of the BarnstableCountyDepartment of
Health and Environment teaches a class on Emergency Dispensing Sites andthe
roleof citizenvolunteersto agroupof listenersthatincludes countycommissioner
Mary LeClair. The event was held at Cape Cod Community College.
Whileimagesofthe havocwreaked
by Hurricane Katrinastillremain in
people'sminds, Cape Cod residents
most recently felt Mother Nature 's
wrath during the December winds
that left manywith fallen trees, cold
and darkened homes, and agrowing
sense of concern for what the future
might bring.
That concern was the motivation
for the Barnstable County Depart-
ment of Health and Environment
EDS (Emergency Dispensing Site)
Education Day for the Cape and
Islands held Saturday at Cape Cod
Community College.
Throughout the day free training
and information sessions, open to
the public, were offered to help
local communities become better
prepared in the event of various
emergencies. "Wewant people to be
comfortable and informed so that
if [anything] ever happened,there
would not be panicbut knowledge,"
said Amy L. Wallace, Emergency
Preparedness Project Assistant and
coordinator of the event.
In a brief panel discussion that
preceded the classes, George Heu-
felder, head of the county's health
and environment department ,
provided the sizeable crowd with an
overviewof courses. Citing the mass
smallpox vaccinations of decades
past, Heufelder noted that the U.S.
is greatly lacking in the order and
organization that could be seen
when those inoculations were given
in the 1940s. "That mentality is not
there [today], "he said. "There has
been alot of panic and hostility. We
know we have a better job to do."
The theme of the daylong event
was"Learn.Volunteer and Prepare!"
In a seriesof classesheld from 10:30
a.m. until 3:30 p.m. attendees were
provided information regarding

havioral Health,Incident Command
Systems, and a Medical Reserve

State gives town OK
for Route 132 sewer pipe
Only a portion of what
was requested approved
By David Still II
dstill@barnstablepatriot.com
Overall,the news was good from the state
on the town'srequest to build awastewater
pipe down Route 132,but it willalso prompt
new discussions.
The good news for town officials is that
the state Executive Officeof Environmental
Affairs approved their request to install an
18-inch pipe in the layout of Route 132 for
asystem to discharge up to 500,000 gallons
of wastewater per day on 6.9 acres of the
McManus property next to the Hyannis
Golf Club. This will allow the construction
of the pipe to go forward as part of the
Route 132 widening project,expected to
begin this spring.
But the town was also looking for permis-
sion to discharge 1.3million gallons per day
of treated wastewater across the entire
site, thus closing off the requirements of
its wastewater facilities plan.
In its written decision on the total re-
