were for public safety, including
young people 's, as the Mall (being
the current Youth Center for the
Town of Barnstable) sometimes sees
as many as 900 young people over a
weekend , which creates what scien-
tists could call a "critical mass."
Fein and the YC took it several
steps further -bringingback the Mall
Nights, renaming them "Youth at
Mall Nights"- monthlyspecial family
evenings highlighting Barnstable 's
young people and the positive things
they are doing. The "YAM-N" nights
have been extremely successfu l,
with folks of all ages enjoying music,
dance, safety and health demonstra-
tions presented by youth.
For me, this epitomizes working
together to find positive solutions,
and my hat goes off to our youth
commissioners, CommunityServices
Director Lynne Poyant, YC advisor
and BHS teacher Lance Kuntzman,
the Barnstable Police Department ,
and especially Leo Fein and the
Cape Cod Mall.
Working together is also working
for our Human Services Committee
- the success of this winter's "Op-
eration In From The Cold" could
only have been achieved because
of several human service agencies
working together in a new configu-
ration to bring the most vulnerable
of our homeless inside during the
harshest of the winter months.
The project came together quickly,
cooperatively, and efficiently - and
has yielded benefits to the homeless
and our community that you will be
hearing more about in the coming
weeks.
The most significant example of
working together comes from the
Fire District Study Preparation Com-
mittee, which I chair.The group has
been working assiduously for many
months and is now preparing a re-
port for the Town Council.Whatever
the report says to the council, and
whatever (if anything) the council
decides to do with this report , I am
proud of the work of this committee.
If nothing else, the efforts of this
committee prove that a disparate
group of people , with acknowledged
differences of opinion, can meet
in good faith and discuss matters
(albeit at times passionately) with
respect for each other and the task
at hand. In my mind, this is how
things should work.
Spring'shere , and it'sbudget sea-
son for the Council. I hope everyone
pays attention and participates as
best they are able. Anyonewith ques-
tions or comments can reach me at
JLBartonLetters(«aol.com.
Enjoy the warmth and the won-
der of growing things. Look after
our children. They are Barnstable 's
most valuable and precious natural
resource.
From your Councilor...
