CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 third floorsofnew or rehabbed buildings. Assistant Town Manager Paul Niedzwiecki, director of community services Lynne Poyant, and members of the town's growth management department rolled out avision of the near future Monday at the Barnstable Senior Center. The public art charrette was based on results of an earlier public brainstorming session, and more such gatherings are planned. Connections between Hyannis streetscapes and seascapes are at the heart of the effort,and notju staround the Walkway to the Sea across the villagegreen. Niedzwiecki spoke about connecting the 725 Main St. park to the cran- berry bog behind it and, via nature trails, to Nantucket Sound. The park will be the focus of a presentation today by graduate students from Har- vard University on aproposed phytoremediation project on the site. Neidzwiecki stressed that the potential park is not a brownfield , even though it once hosted agasstation. The purpose of the plants will be to take up some of the low- level pollutants in the ground and allow improvement of the topsoil, which in turn will permit planting of attractive ornamental bushes. Kate Kennen, a landscape architect on the growth man- agement staff, said those at- tending a previous charrette felt that Aselton Park, right on the harbor, was underuti- lized. That led to a clutch of thoughts including a tempo- rary stage in the park. Connections between the harbor and Main Street, al- ready improved by the Walk- way to the Sea, could be fur- ther enhanced by a Freedom Trail of sortsthat would high- light local history. At one of the public meetings, someone even suggested dock areplica ofJack Kennedy'sPT-109boat at Bismore Park. Withmoney from Nantucket Electric inexchangefor letting the utilitytear up the roads to lay anew power cable to Nan- tucket, there are funds for a new,wider sidewalk along the eastern side of Ocean Street. The Walkway to the Sea will be extended across a nearby section ofAselton Parkto con- nect it with the water, where another new paved walk will bringstrollers alongthe water to a Bismore Park blissfully free of old-fashioned parking meter poles. You'll still have to pay for the privilege of a parking space with a harbor view,but tickets for your dashboard will be printed at ahandful of kiosksthat willaccept cash or credit cards. There 's thought of add- ing information kiosks of a most unusual sort -upended rowboats - to the Walkway. Depending onthe opportunity to run cable to them, these might be interactive. Money for all this is com- ing from a variety of sources, including federal and state grants,non-profits ,business- es, and foundations. The pos- sible purchase of Zion Union could be completed with Community Preservation Act funds, and the town has made a request to the committee. Besides the intrinsic value of preserving a part of the village's most diverse neigh- borhood , Niedzwiecki said, the church would provide a link between Main Street and the new youth center to be built at the Kennedy rink site. The emphasis on the arts includes the return of the art- ist shanties at Bismore Park, with expanded offerings. And some of last season'spioneers, who have opened Gallery 337 at the corner of Ocean and Main streets in a building slated for development , have learned that they can stay open through the summer. In these ways and others, the branding of Hyannis as an arts destination continues. Barnstable Village clean-up April 29 The Barnstable Village Civic Association will discuss the Barnstable Harbor parking plan, at its Monday night meeting at Barnstable Unitarian Church, Route 6A at 7 p.m. Representatives if the town'splanning office ,harbormaster, police and the Barnstable FireDepartment have been invited to discuss a proposed parking plan, which is still in formation. The civic association is also hosting a "Village Clean-up Day" on Saturday, April 29 from 9 a.m. to noon. Volunteers are asked to meet at 9 a.m.behind the Barnstable Fire Station to make the village "look good for the summer." " i »S M From the right... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:7 think that a Republican in the Cor- ner Office is all that stands between them and skyrocketing taxes. They should think that, because it'strue. Finally there's Christy Mihos, the convenience store tycoon who's running as an independent but could turn out to be the Democrats' secret weapon this fall. Mihos may strike some as the little guy with funny hair who managed to get him- self kicked off the Turnpike Author- ity, but he's also a man seemingly on a mission to destroy whatever chance the GOP has of retaining the governor's office. Mihos may well do it by drawing enough unen- rolled votes away from Healey to en- sure a Democrat win. He could have been a strong Republican candidate and may have even won a primary, but instead chose a path that has vindictiveness written all over it. There you have it. A gang of five from which, barring an unexpected, late entry by a political "big foot," one will emerge as our next gover- nor. Mitt Romney never looked so good. • From the left... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:7 nuclear proliferation are formidable and inarguable.When there were only two superpowers inpossession of these awful weapons, deterrence and MAD may have made some sense. But now, when more and more coun- tries are acquiring the technologies necessary to make nuclear weapons, their continued possession, and even theoretical use, is insane and makes our planet a far more dangerous place. To quote a former British Chief of General Staff, Field Marshall Lord Carver, on the use of nuclear weap- ons, "Touse them against a similarly equipped opponent invites catastro- phe; to use them against a non-nuclear opponent is politically and morally indefensible. The indefinite deploy- ment of the weapons carries a high risk of their ultimate use -intentionally,by accident or inadvertence. Today,with the break-up of the Soviet Union, and the actual and potential proliferation of nuclear weapons to states, or even possibly to groups within states, the risk of intentional or accidental use is higher.If their possession proliferates, that risk will probably increase." Despite the end of the Cold War, and contrary to the efforts of the great majority of the world's countries, and the will of the Americanpeople, George W not only has failed to seriously work to limit proliferation, he has actually taken a step backwards by increasing the roles of nuclear weapons in US foreign policy.With the largely unpub- licized release of the 2001 Nuclear Pos- ture Review (NPR), the Bush adminis- tration has called for the development of new, more "usable"nuclear weapons; for the preemptive use of nuclear weap ons against non-nuclear states; and for reducing the time required for the U.S. to resume nuclear weapons testing. Add to these polices the preexisting position of the US not to disavowthe first use of nuclear weapons in a time of war, and we should not be at all sur- prised that the rest of the world rolls its eyes and doubts our sincerity when we go on and on about the dangers of weapons of mass destruction. I guess it's another case of GW saying do as I say,not as I do. WhileBush and company may not see the obvious hypocrisy of such a position, International AtomicEnergy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei certainly does. He wrote: "We must abandon the unworkable notion that it is morally reprehensible for some countries to pursue weapons of mass destruction yet morally acceptable for others to rely on them and indeed to continue to refine their capacities and postulate plans for their use." Yes, the world is a dangerous place. But it will only get more dangerous un- less and until the U.S.understands the folly and immorality of including the aggressive, "preemptive" use of nuclear weapons in our foreign policy. ^tte^Lm B»^w ^fl * ' l^^k.

BOX 1208 HYANNIS, MA 02601 OR E-MAIL TO letters@barnstablepatriot.com Brazilian Christian Scientist to lecture at 1FK Museum Heloisa Rivas discuss how to 'Find Home Where You Are' By Kathleen Manwaring kmanwanngiffibarnstablepatnot .com With immigration issues on the forefront in US politics, it seems fitting that a talk titled "Find Home Where You Are" will be held tomorrow evening at the JFK Museum in Hyannis. The discussion , presented by Heloisa Rivas, amember of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship and a native of Brazil, has less to do with finding an actual home than feeling at home in the world today. "Basically it's based on the ideas that Christian Science givesto people about how to pray and how to find peace." said Rivas. Because Hyannis has seen many Brazilians come here to work and stay to live in the past decade , Rivas felt it was an ideal venue for her talk. "Wherever there is a large contingent of new immi- grants," she said. "Harmony needs to be found." Rivas believes that the teaching of Christian Science and its values will provide assistance to those feeling unsteady in the wake of upheaval . "It can help them find their peace and find their place in a harmonious way," she said. Rivas , whose talk will be given first u Portuguese, then English, said the Christian Science message is appli- cable to all people. "It has multiple ramifications, not just for Hyannis," she said. "God loves all people. When we are able to be in tune and remember that, then our lives are in peace.'' An important aspect of Christian Scientist teachings involves respect. Respect for God, respect for your neigh- bors and respect for the laws not only of the religion but also the laws of mankind. "Anything that breaks the law needs to get straightened out," said Rivas. Rivas notes that inthe past Brazilian people did not im- migrate to other areas such as the U.S. She said those who do are well educated hard workers seekingabetter way of life for themselves and their families. Unfortunately there are al- ways obstacles to overcome , such as overcoming language and economic barriers. "We want them to know how Christian Scientists pray in difficult situations," the speaker said It is Rivas' hope and the hope of the Christian Science religion that all people can find ways to coexist more harmoniously. "America is made of immigrants," said Rivas. "It isimportant to find peace,to heal resentment,to heal hate, to heal fear." Rivas will speak in Portuguese at 6 p.m. and in English at 7:30 p.m. at the JFK Hyannis Museum,397 Main St. Child Care will be available.
