CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:10 their defense, and Maloney's game-winningbucket was the only field goal for either team the rest of the way. With the home crowd on its feet throughout the final three minutes, Barnstable made one-of-two free throws on consecutive tripsto the line to take 69-68 lead. Marshfield took its final lead with a min- ute to go before Maloney and Pane sent the faithful home happy. Donovan praised Marsh- field' s play, but also his own club's. "We're pressing with guys that I don't think are that athletic, but they play with a lot of heart," he said, "which is almost better." Junior Donny Campbell led the Raiders with 17 points, and Klotz and Pane each added 12. Maloney had 10, Norton 8, senior Zack Lowe 6, Moran 5, senior Patrick Sullivan 2, and Riley 1. The win evened Barnsta- ble's record at 7-7, and 3-2 in the Old Colony League, with league-leading Taunton com- ing to Hyannis tonight. The Raiders need to win three of their six remaining contests to secure a state tournament berth. Early Files... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:6 free and started drifting out into the bay. 1946 We wonder how many of our readers are beginning to dread picking up a daily paper for fear of finding on the front page a photograph of some dear little WarBride, her little tot in her arms, and her dear little G.I. husband standingfatuously alongside. We are not Anglophobes , isolationists , misogynists, misogamists, or in anyway anti-social. We welcome the warbrideto America.Wehope she'll be happy here among us. We admire her spirit and the strength of her devotion toherhusbandin breaking all her home ties to start a new life inaforeign land. Wedo not castigate her for the plethora of infantile cheesecake. We do hope that when she sees a newspaper photographer she'll run like anything. 1956 First reaction of most Barnstable residents when they learn of the proposal to set up a trailer park and the district back ofthe Barnstable MunicipalAirportisdirect and simple - "Phooey on that"... they say.Then when they hear more about it and learn that the idea is to get the trailers out of scattered backyards throughout the town and to some place where they are inconspicuous and manage- able, most persons change their minds. At a meeting in Barnstable last week it was the almost unanimous opin- ion that the idea of creating the trailer park is sound, but whethertheproposed location is the best site available was another matter.The decision wasnot without humor."Why are they trying to push the district overinto Barnstable," it was remarked. "If they are having complaints in Oster- ville, let them take care of it over there. Let them set up a trailer park district in Oyster Harbors -that would go over big."Thismoved another wag to observe that "Yarmouth and Dennis seemed not to mind trailer parks -why not set up Barnstable's down in one of their towns." 1966 Grammy Edwards, Ibi Ed- wards, and Mrs. Basil Duke Edwards Sr. Are like me, myself and I - one person. And no one person could be more humane than Mrs. Ed- wards. Once she was a sum- mer resident of Barnstable of Barnstable, but not she lives her year round and is contending with the rigors of our typical Cape Cod winter. This week she found herself in something of a quandary ... her pipes were frozen. When the plumber arrived to investigate, he told her that herpipescertainlywerefrozen and would continue to be un- lessthe skunkor skunksliving in her cellar ceased chewing away at the house founda- tion. These little black and white polecats had a made hole big enough to get in and keep warm,and big enough to expose the pipes to the cold February nights. 1976 Thevotetopurchaseortake the 1,080-acre conservation area in West Barnstable oc- curred almost a decade ago. Followingthevote,Barnstable Selectmen never signed 'an order of taking," but decided instead to work out negoti- ated purchases. Without the taking order, however, prices werenot frozen. Despite rapid progress inthe beginning,the project becametangledbythe death oftheprincipalattorney and was nearly abandoned when SelectmanJohn Aylmer moved on to the senate. But this spring, the conservation area will be back before the town meeting. But with 182 acres of those acres still held privately, and only $90,000 left in the conservation area fund, town meeting will have to raise a considerable sum of money to finish the town's acquisition of the land. 1986 Is the building boom con- tinuing? Yesit is.But the pic- ture has changed. Although some 90 fewer homes were builthere lastyear,their value wasup $2million,And overall, thevalueofconstructioninthe town of Barnstable increased $11.8millionwhilethe number units built dropped by al- most 60.New home construc- tion rose in Centerville, West Barnstable and Hyannis. 1996 The reintroduction of Dr. EdwardTynanasBarnstable's interim superintendent ol schools - a position he held for 23 years -is a bittersweet reunion. Embroiled in the largest budgetary dilemma ever faced by the town, the school committee called upon Tynan after the resignation of Dr. Albert Davidian, who replaced Tynaninthe summer of 1994 assuperintendent.The resignation, while coming at a tense and emotional time, is largely viewed as the best course of action, given the circumstances, by members of the school committee and town council. Catboat stirs... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:12 on the classic 19-foot boat constructed in 1886 by Os- terville's Herbert F.Crosby, now sitting out in front of the Hyannis museum. After the better part of a year's work in the museum's boat shop, Sarah clearly reveals her unique lines. With her oak timber molds framed with hull length inch-and-a-half spruce rib- bands, the rake, sheer and beam of the boat marks Sarah as a member of one of the most popular sailing work boat designs ever to ply local waters. The soon- to-be-attached garboards , which connect to the lowest part of the keel at the port and starboard stem, are, like the rest of the outside hull planking, made of cypress. This is an extremely rot resistant and durable wood that once grew in abun- dance on Cape Cod. Mature heartwood pieces of cypress are difficult to find anymore, even in areas away from the Cape. The museum was indeed fortunate to acquire some seasoned one-inch think, two-inch-wide, old growth pieces from a smalltown in Florida. This wood will be used for the strakes that will sheath Sarah' s hull. The next stages of the project , which is funded by a Federal Institute for Mu- seum and Library Services grant, will see Sarah fully planked and decked. Her cabin will be finished so that she can handle four to six sailors who will learn first hand the various aspects of handling a sailingvessel that would have been part of the education of most 19th century men on Cape Cod and the islands. The boat's projected launch date is expected to be sometime before the end of 2006. .IJhP^ T" t^; Presidential » n>t last i°n9' ¦HflBf fet. /^L^V"' ¦ '-** ^ €% /O ¦ ¦ ' ^.* mV " ?sF- " ¦ £ *¦ ' 4 ) ¦" - ninr '* ^^Wk - •iM^lt% ^ J S% f \^\ ^ t HHB^'. <¦ TTVi JBw-^BBfc V* <^wm CARPET BARN Inc.EOTM™ f &f ^ Z i W m .
