CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:7 wasn't ready for prime time.Conscientious council membersneeded moretime to better understand the vote they were casting. A postponement was the proper legislative route. This matter is still festering and could continue to be a deterrent to the council's near-term harmony.The two members who abstained from voting can take a bow. The political inaction of these two councilors allowed the passage of thispoor piece of legislation and set the stage for continued disharmony. It is ironic that the two cowardly councilors who tried to stay neutral for whatever political reasons now get top billing for the lousy job that the entire bunch of them did that night. We can only hope it gets better. Performance... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:8 than 20 years ago, General Electric set up a demonstra- tion all-electric house in New Jersey in which all appliances and electronics used the same five-prong plug to access power and signal path. The appliances were '"smart" and were controlled in part by a home-management com- puter, a new concept at the time. The system worked this way. Let's say a toaster-oven is plugged into a socket. The home management computer senses a closed circuit and sends a signal to the appli- ance, asking, "What are you?" The appliance replies , "I am a toaster-oven ," and the computer switches 110 VAC through the house wiring to the appliance. This system permitted ste- reo speakers alloverthe house, also using the same five- prong plug. When a speaker is plugged into the outlet, the speaker identifiesitself to the computer, and the computer switches an audio signalfrom the receiver in a distant part of the house to the speaker over power lines. They included a safety element as well. If a child inadvertently puts a metal object into a socket so that it closes a circuit, the computer would receive no answer to its "What are you?" query and shut the outlet down for five minutes. The child is never in danger. Sadly, the system was far ahead of its time, and other than in the few demonstration houses that were built, faded to obscurity. But the concept did not. Let's see now ... the Luk- Werks system has no wires, it is easy to install and use, won't break the bank... isn't it about time your business had an up-to-date surveil- lance system?

CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:13 folks not to feel overly sorry for him. "I got myself into this situation," he said. "After the way I treated Dave Curley at the Town of Barnstable, no one should feel sorry for me. I think my treatment of them was really unfortunate." For his part, Curley acknowledges disap- pointment over losing Stepanek but notes that the town has moved on. "We're now in the process of hiring an individual to take the position," he said. "We hope to make an announcement in about a week." A pool of excellent candidates for the po- sition made Curley'sjob of finding someone else to take the job somewhat easier. "We were very fortunate that we had a number of quality individuals," he said. "Golf season is here, so we'd like to get this completed." As for Stepanek, who works for the golf industry in Florida, he, too, believes it is time to move forward , in spite of any regrets. "I need to focus on the future and regroup," he said. "Most people would say the job I have now is good." IDEPOT STREET!
