1 By Jessica Sylver The Hyannis Area Chamber of Com- merce has a new project. We are starting two new publications: a Spring/ Summer and Fall/Winter magazine. These glossy publications are going to feature all of the Seven Villages with highlighted events along with other sidebar information. The Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce is looking to reach a different demo- graphic than just the visitor or, as we like to call them, "guest. " Our total print run will be 25,000 with 10,000 targeting the second-home owner at their primary off- Cape address, a different fo- cus for us and one we think will benefit all of our 750 members. Another 5,000 will hit Plymouth County residents living on the South Shore, 5,000 more reaching the mailboxes of Barnstable residents. The last 5,000 will be distrib- uted at our annual Father's Day Car Show on June 15. Our first edition will feature the 20th anniver- sary of the Father's Day Car show, with a beauti- ful section on the history and founding members of the car show. We will also include sections on each of the villages with a nice write-up on the history of the village with a couple of pictures to go along with it. As I'm sure most everyone knows by now, the Town of Barnstable will be turning 375 this year. We are hop- ing to help promote that , as well as all of the wonder- ful events happening in the villages. The second edition will be for the holidays. It is such a beautiful time of year to be in Barnstable shopping for those special people in your life. This issue will keep the focus on the Seven Villages but will mostly include shop- ping for the holidays, holiday parties, and all the village strolls. Again, we'd like those wonderful second-home owners to stay in their home here in Barnstable and shop our year-round members. The last item we are of- fering with this new publi- cation is a digital magazine with links to all of our advertisers' websites. Our current website gets over 300,000 page views and 80 percent are new visits, and that is just last year's num- bers! It is just another way of reaching the public with what we have to offer here in the Town of Barnstable. For a full list of members, please visit hyannis.com.

Two new publications Amidglimmersof hopeful change By Edward F.Maroney emaroney@barnstablepatriQt.com EDWAPD F. MARONEY PHOTOS TAKINGTESTIMONY-Barnstable PoliceOfficer Steve Maher,left,quizzes Lt.John Murphy during a show-cause hearing on the Shanghai restaurant NOT A GOOD NIGHT - DJ Peter Barbosatellsthelicensingauthority what happened atthe International Inn on Sept.IS. The quality of mercy was strained a bit at the licensing author- ity's Feb. 10 show-cause hear- ings on complaints about the International Inn and Shang- hai Chinese Restaurant. Both Hyannis establish- ments have been in the dock before, and the allegations by the police department were familiar: "failure to ensure that a high degree of super- vision is exercised over the conduct of the licensed estab- lishment at all times." Barnstable Police Officer Joshua Maloney said he was called to the International Inn last Sept. 15 to investi- gate a reported fight. He said he encountered a man serving as a doorman/bouncer who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and was not cooperative and "started yelling and screaming." As it turns out, the man was a last-minute replace- ment hired by the night's DJ, Peter Barbosa, who said his regular, experienced col- league was visiting family out of state. Police Lt. John Murphy, a liaison to the board, said he knows Bar- bosa's usual worker, Leonard Horton, describing him as a "professional security person who does do a good job." Officer Steve Maher, an- other liaison to the authority, presented reports of numerous calls to the Inn for a variety of reported crimes, including drug dealing. As he and the board questioned Ravi Ahuja, who attended as manager of the Inn, it became apparent that there was a disconnect be- tween the authority 's expecta- tions and what's been going on at the inn. "I'm disgusted by all the activity happening here," the authority's Ron Semprini said. "What are you going to do to clean up this place up?" asked board chair Martin Hoxie. The Inn's representatives eased the board's concerns somewhat by introducing their new general manager, Richard Heroux, who lives on site. "I've owned my own bar," Heroux said, "and I've managed seven hotels. I walk the lounge, I walk the parking lot , I walk the halls. I hear noise, I knock on the door." In the 10 years that he owned the Inn, authority member Gene Burman said, "I don't believe we had one police call." (He then recalled one for someone who had broken a window and was bleeding) "It's refreshing to hear that a professional manager is coming aboard ," he said, "[but] I'm appalled at the lack of professional responsi- bility." The authority suspended the Inn's alcohol and enter- tainment licenses for five days, with three to be served March 13 to 15 and two to be held in abeyance for a year. The Inn also has to come up with a written security plan within 30 days- The suspen- sion will not affect rental of rooms. The board gave a similar suspension to Shanghai, for its failure on Nov. 16 to con- trol a jeering crowd while po- lice arrested a man who had been urinating off the deck for indecent exposure and disorderly conduct. Officers said they were concerned that the incident could have gotten out of hand. In past dealings with the restaurant, it's been appar- ent that Shanghai's clientele includes individuals known to the police, and the depart- ment has been concerned about the venue becoming a "clubhouse" for them. Spirits brightened at this week's hearing when it was announced that the own- ers' son will be joining the business and will have a significant presence. Attorney Robert Mills said his clients look forward to meeting with the police to talk about issu- ing trespass orders against undesirable customers. Shanghai will serve its suspension March 10-12, with two days held in abeyance. The authority also contin- ued imposition of a 15-day suspension on Ferreira's recycling business on Old Yarmouth Road in Hyannis until March 24, when it's expected a court review of its action may be completed. A show-cause hearing for noise complaints against the Beech Tree Cantina on Main Street, Hyannis was put off to April 14 with the understand- ing that the complainant is working with the business to resolve concerns.
