A similarvolunteer proposal
has been in place for the past
two years, with varying de-
grees of success, accordingto
the police department.
"At this point the adoption
of the proposed ordinance
will level the playing field for
all and allow the Town Man-
ager to issue permitsfor retail
establishments that are not
contributing to this problem,"
the agenda summary reads.
The voluntary ban was
focused on Hyannisestablish-
ments, as that is where most
of the town's nightclubs are
located and where most of the
problems occurred.
The proposal for a formal
ordinance would be townwide,
but there is an opportunity for
businesses to be excluded.
Under the proposal , the
town manager would have
the ability to grant permits
to allow stores to remain
open. After a public hearing
and "after consideration of
the effect the business may
have on abutting residences
and its impact on the com-
munity," the manager could
grant a permit.
The Hyannis Main Street
Business Improvement Dis-
trict , which encompasses
stores from North Street to
South Street and down to
the harbor, has not met to
discuss the matter, according
to executive director Cynthia
Cole.
"We sympathize with the
chief on this issue,"Cole said.
She said that her preference
would be to give the voluntary
curfew another try before
going with the mandatory
proposal. If it is approved , she
said atwo-hour closing should
be the maximum,but "anhour
would be ideal."
A call Thursday to the
Hyannis Area Chamber of
Commerce was not returned
by press time.

or you can call 888-33-capecod or write to
info(3 CapeCodChamber.org to get one.
Walkinga fine line
Len Stewart's role as advocate and county
department head were examined gently in
an exchange between county commission-
ers chairman Bill Doherty and Assembly of
Delegates finance committee chair Marcia
King last week.
Stewart had appeared moments before with
the heads of the human services advisory
council,which isurging the county goveinment
to spend almost $700,000 on interconnected
projects this year. The commissioners have
said the budget can't carry that freight.
Was the county 's human services depart-
ment head , in effect , leading a mutiny, King
wanted to know.
"I listened to every word that came out of
Len Stewart's mouth," Doherty replied. "He
just introduced the other two speakers. We
do support free speech."
Doherty said Stewart reports directly to
Assistant County Administrator Maggie
Downey.

The Daniel Davis house

winter and agreat manymore
itemsfrom thepast have been
added to the collections now

their fenced-in plot near the
front of Lothrop Cemetery's
moss-encrusted tombstones
clustered around an obelisk
marked withnames and dates
of those buried there. Other
Cobbs areburiedinthe Cobb's
HillCemeteryabout twomiles
east of Lothrop Cemetery.
The nature and size of the
Cobb obelisk attest to the
prominence and size of the
Cobb family.
The love of his family heri-
tage and their contributions
to Americanhistoryled Oatis
Cobb,at hispresent age of 61,
to trace his Cobb genealogy
back from his Southern home
town of Buffalo in the coal
mining hills of West Virginia
to the migration of those of
hisforebears in the direct line
back to the time of the Ameri-
canRevolution,when another
Henry Cobb left Barnstable
for the South.
Oatis Cobb had the 20 by
20-inch monument inscribed
on its granite surface with
the names of the direct line
of Cobbs from the past up to
the present, male heirs from
Kent inEngland to Barnstable
in New England,then to min-
ing and the chemical industry
area of West Virginia.

other industry and agricul-
ture. Oatis Cobb has spent
much ofhiscareer inchemical
manufacturing for Bayer, the
chemicaland pharmaceutical

son (born 2004) of Buffalo,
