Barnstable High School
can seem big and scary even
to some of its own students,
but this week a bunch of
youngstersfrom HyannisEast
ElementarySchoolownedthe
joint. With the help of a 21st
CenturyCommunityLearning
Center grant from the state
Department of Education,
they were warmly welcomed
by high school seniors who
had designed an "Astronomy
Circus 2006" to entertain and
educate them.
From displays that guided
the elementary schoolers
through concepts ranging
from the shape and substance
of stars to the qualities of
light, to "talks" by scientists
ranging from Galileo to Ein-
stein to Nantucket' s own
Maria Mitchell, and finally to
a laser-pointer guided tour
of the heavens conducted by
highschoolteacher MikeGyra
in Cobb Astro Park, it was a
night to remember.
CUSS IS IN GLASSES - These
Hyannis Elementary School
students are about to learn
more regarding the properties
of light.

IPOLITICAL POTPOURRI S
Halfaloaf-or maybeathird
of one -is better than none.
That seemed to be the
philosophy to which some
human services providers
were resigned as they met
this week with the Assembly
of Delegate's health and hu-
man services subcommittee
about funding in the coming
fiscal year.
After the county's health
and human services advisory
council recommended that
more than $600,000 be spent
on such needs between July
1 and June 30, the county
commissioners, faced with
declining revenues from the
Registry of Deeds, cut the
request by almost two-thirds
and funded just a handful of
activities.
The point made at Wednes-
day's hearing was that all
the requests hung together,
and that their backers would
prefer to have all receive at
least a little funding spark,
one that could be fanned ,
perhaps, into support from
other sources.
That seemedto makesense
to the subcommittee mem-
bers, who made it clear be-
fore and after they listened
to providers and clients talk
about their needs that they
lacked the ability to restore
full funding. Working with
councilmembersto reallocate
the remaining funds among
allpriorities seemed to be the
direction to take.
Subcommittee members
also vowed to support some
level of continued funding for
theBarnstable HumanRights
Commission,agreeingthat its
"pilotyear"won'tbe overuntil
December,after whichthere'd
be a gap until next July 1un-
less other arrangements are
made now.
