Wherefore art thou Osterville?
CONTINUED FROM PAGE B:1
"You could live in the village of Mar-
stons Mills but actually vote in Oster-
ville," Schlegel says.
It is also fallacy that individual town
councilors represent a village, albeit
most are associated with one village
though they might have parts of two or
three villages in their precinct.
Even the U.S. Postal Service ignores
not only village but sometimes town
markers, so postal routes could not
be used for 911 either. For example,
Bob Coleman lives on Railway Point,
Hyannis, but is serviced by the Yar-
mouth Post Office.
If higher authorities had not ac-
cepted the fire district boundaries ,
the town would have had to change
many a street name to conform to 911
requirements - and that would have
presented many a problem to many a
household , postal carrier and business
at large.
The only difficulty encountered with
the fire district lines was in the COMM
district, trying to separate the three
villages within the district to define
them. "So we used precinct lines inside
that one district," Schlegel said.
Should Osterville, and other villages,
have accurate boundaries? Finding a
well-defined Osterville, say the bureau-
crats, appears not nearly as important
as Shakespeare 's observation in King
Lear: "Striving to better, oft we mar
what's well."
Schlegel reminds of attempts to
abolish fire districts in favor of one
department. The idea has always
failed to gain much public support and
perhaps wisely so in view of the 911
processes , he infers. Trying to create
precise village boundaries could pro-
duce more problems than it's worth.
For all its seaside charm and quiet
wealth then, Osterville, as the less af-
fluent villages, knows no bounds.

The cure for the common winter...

out of their houses, and people whojust
love chocolate.
"It works well for all," he said.
Along with the activities happening
during the day, the OBPA hopes that
people will sweeten up their evenings
with Chocolate Fest activities as well.
From 5 p.m. to 7:30 pm, the East Bay
Gallery willbe holding an exhibit featur-
ing original sculptures - made entirely
of chocolate.
The exhibit,"The Art of Chocolate,"will
display original chocolate sculptures by
Osterville artist Susan Marshall.
Power believes the exhibit meshes
wonderfully with the "chocolate, candy,
sweetheart theme" of the festival.
With music, refreshments , and most
importantly, chocolate , the OBPA is
hoping for alarge turnout "if the weather
cooperates," said Power.
If the number ofrevelers isindeed what
is expected , Merriman and Power plan to
have a similar celebration next year, along
with others throughout the winter.
Merriman isn't worried about the
crowds; she believes the subject of the
festival will draw people out of their
homes quite easily on its own.
"AsSusan Boynton said,"she noted. '14
out of 10 people love chocolate. '"
For more information on the Osterville Chocolate
Festival, call Nicole Merriman at 508-428-3647.
