HOW'D YOU SPEND VACTION? - Under the tutelage of teacher Andrew Newman, students learn the basics
of Adobe Photoshop Elements at the Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School at a school vacation program
sponsored by the Cape Cod Technological Council through its Jr. Tech Council. The program offered several
technology-based courses to students in grades 5-12 as a means of exposing them to new experiences in the
fields of science, technology, math and engineering. Courses offered included Photoshop Skillz Workshop;
Digital Photojournalism Workshop; and Inventions in Turbine Workshop.
Alternate plan
New twin lanes will merge
until Barnstable 's plans emerge
By David Still II
dstill@barnstablepatriot.com
MERGE AHEAD - When the reconstruction of
Willow Street in Yarmouth is completed, the two
lanes inthis section will merge down to one before
hitting the Barnstable line.
Regular users of Exit 7 off Route 6 in Yarmouth
can't help but notice a lot of work is being done to ,
improve traffic flow and safety throughout that area.
What may be less noticeable is what happens once
Yarmouth'sWillowStreet converges withBarnstable's
Yarmouth Road.
With no immediate plan or funding to implement
same, the solution for now is essentially the instal-
lation of a "Lanes Merge" sign.
That'snot to say nothing'sbeing done at town hall,
but nothing's been approved , either.

CapeCod Hospital and its reg-

reached an agreement.
The current contract , ex-
tended once from October ,
expires Wednesday and no fur-
ther negotiation sessions are
scheduled. Tuesday wasthe last
scheduled negotiation session,
and there was no progress. Two
offers were placed on the table
by Cape Cod Healthcare, and
both were rejected.
Mike Foley, Cape Cod Hos-
pital's general counsel for em-
ployment affairs is responsible
for all employment-related ne-
gotiations.
He saidofthe eight bargaining
units for Cape Cod Healthcare,
the Hyannis nurses are the only
ones yet to settle.
"Sevenofthose eight contracts
were open and negotiated inthis
calendar year," Foley said.
But the registered nurses at
Cape Cod Hospital are unique,
with a weekend premium pay
package initiated at a time

New medical director
continues to help those
who need it most

I WAS HERE - Dr. Lindley Gilford points to her old stomping
grounds in Alaska on the map she uses to learn more about
her patients' cultures.
Farther south than Juneau but farther
north than Vancouver lies Ketchikan, a tiny
cown on the southwest coast of Alaska.
Though the town and its relatively small
number of inhabitants might not influence
the Town of Barnstable directly. Dr. Lindley
Gifford does. Giving up Alaska's tundra for
the Cape's sand, Gifford moved here full-
time and became medical director of the
Mid-Upper Cape Community Health Center
in Hyannis.
Gifford'smedical training and career have
taken her all over the country, but it's the
coasts that appeal to her most. After spend-
ing more than a decade living on the edge
in Alaska, she will offer affordable medical
care to those on Cape Cod living on the
financial edge.
Three days a week Gifford sees patients
alongside other doctors and nurses at the
center. The other two days are devoted to
administrative work, but her focus remains
on her patients, not paperwork.
"We all have patients who are so close to
our hearts," said Leah West, the center's

Rectrix Aerodrome 's $6.5 million
Hyannis facility was to be the start of
a new, luxury era for those jetting into
Hyannis and the Cape. While the swanky
new buildinghasimpressed those who've
toured it, the operation has yet to go
into full swing.
That it hasn't opened is being laid at
the feet of Barnstable airport officials ,
accused inaletter from Rectrixattorneys
of "discrimination,negligence,misrepre-
sentation, unfair and deceptive acts or
practices... and delay tactics designed
to interfere with the ability of Rectrix
to operate its business."
Theletter demandspayment of$540,000
in damages or Rectrix will "take such
further action as is deemed appropri-
ate..."
That is the upshot of a six-page letter

Exit 6 1/2 to be a focus
By Edward F. Maroney
emaroney@barnstablepatriot.com
The yearthe Beatles hit America,people
started talking about the need for an
exit off Route 6 between Barnstable and
Yarmouth.
Forty-two years later, state Rep. Jeff
Perry (who was born in 1964), Lt. Gov.
Kerry Healey, state Sen. Rob O'Leary and
state Rep. Demetrius Atsalis gathered at
Barnstable Municipal Airport to announce
state funding for a Hyannis Access Study
that will consider the many effects of a
potential new exit from the Mid-Cape
Highway into the industrial park.
"Everyone believes there'senough traffic
to justify" the effort, Healy said, adding
her satisfaction that the study willtake "a
comprehensive approach to transportation
problems in Hyannis."
