Tom McDonald got a call from Justin Ferbert, who recently accepted an offer to become the system's first facilities manager. Ferbert was calling to say his employer, Mel- rose-Wakefield Hospital, had made him a better offer. McDonald had hoped to have a manager on board soon to begin addressing the short-terms needs of the system's aging buildings and the long-term plans for facilities. The search will begin again. There's no time like the present With 1,296 responses to a survey on changing the time of school buses to accommo- date sleepy high schoolers, it's clear that the preference is for the status quo. Interim Supt. Tom Mc- Donald told the school committee Tuesday that 52 percent of respondents want to stick with the existing three-tier system, which has some upperclassmen haul- ing themselves out of bed at 5 a.m. to catch a 6 a.m. bus. A two-tier system of buses that would allow a later start for high schoolers would also add 20 buses to the 45 now on the streets, according to school trans- portation director Sandy Gifford. "That could cost up to $600,000," she said. The committee will meet May 16 at 6 p.m before its regular 7 p.m. meeting, to discuss bus times with the district leadership collab- orative. Problem solvers Bowl 'em over Teams from three Barnstable schools placed at the state Future Problem Solving Bowl held at M.I.T in Cambridge Saturday. Barnstable High School juniors Lauren Kenney, Courtney King, Rachael Tucker, and Meghan Ware- ham, coached by Christy Salley, won second place in the Senior Division and will be traveling to Colorado State University for the International Competition. Joining them will be Olivia Huleatt,winner of the Mas- sachusetts Future Problem Solving Scenario Writing Competition. Also winning second place was the Grade 8 Barnstable Middle School team coached by Maryanne Farley, which included Isle Bastille, Blake Blaze, Ka- trina Malakhoff, and Taiya Perper. That team, joined by Mariel Rich, placed second also in the Action Plan Pre- sentation competition. The freshman team from Barnstable High (Kim Beatty, Caroline Klimm, Mariel Marchand and Carlos Rodriguez) coached by Nancy Aborn came in third in the middle division, a rank achieved in the junior division by the Grade 6 team from Barnstable Hor- ace Mann Charter School coached by Karen Murphy (Katherine Bianchi, Shan- non Cleary, Drew Gorin, and Julia Wareham). Jazzy nights at Knight Hall Barnstable High School will swing to the sounds of a full jazz band next Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. and Friday and Saturday at 9 p.m. as the music department presents a full jazz band backing the schools' show choir, vocal jazz ensemble, lab band, and more. Admission is $10 at the door ($5 for students and seniors). Storyteller Lee to return The Gateway program will welcome storyteller Tom Lee for a return en- gagement May 6 at 7 p.m. at Barnstable High School.

Renaissance Faire is May 5 The whole community is invited to Barnstable Middle School's Renais- sance Faire, to be held May 5 from 3:30 to 8 p.m. Your $5 admission fee entitles you to five tickets for rides, food , and fun.

LLAJJRUUM KAMDLEJ CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:8 Scarafile said language barriers and people's concern about exposing their situations to the Immigration service made progress difficult a couple ofyears ago,but added that "thoseto me are minor obstacles. Carlos is avery influential person. I'm hoping it'll happen again." It will. Poyant's successor as ED, Monica Parker,was enthusiastic when asked about the Braziliancommunity'spotential to participate in the Hyannis chamber. "Sincetheboard selected me,weidentified the Brazilian community as an excellent opportu- nity for outreach,"she said. "We like to say this is where business leaders become community leaders. We're looking forward to finding ways to work with community and business leaders among our Brazilian neighbors. Webelievethis partnership willbroaden our impact and allow us a louder and even more effective voice on issues of mutual concern." Barbosa has certainly taken the business leader to community leader route. Besides conductinghis Colors of Cape Cod,Inc general contracting business, he was involved with the Brazilian Organization for Support and Ser- vices and is a prominent figure at community meetings. "I've been here since May 1987," he said. "I used to work on everybody's house, (and) as a dishwasher.I had a restaurant (Copacabana), then closed it and went into construction. We have a paycheck every week now." A few years back, Barbosa became the first Brazilianimmigrantto runfor town council.He missed qualifying for a two-candidate runoff election by a handful of votes. Barbosa's concerns extend beyond just his fellow Brazilians. "Not only Brazilians but the immigrant community should understand a little more about regulations,the law,"he said, "it'svery different, what you do there and what you can do here." "Our next step isto meet with a select group of Brazilian businesspeople inthe Hyannis area and learn what their unique needs as business people in the area are," Parker said, " and how we can tailor our services to best service their needs. Barboza willbe waiting.He encourages other interested in his ideas to call him at his busi- ness, 508-775-8253. The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce is also involved with Brazilian businesses, and has owners serving on its board. Brazilian Chamber? CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:6 the slow drying green fin- ish, the fans calmed down when they were assured by Braves management that their cleaning bills would be taken care of. Just how many Cape Codders were among the painted fan(nie)s no one will ever know, but Hyannis knows of at least one real baseball enthusiast who returned wearing Braves' green war paint. The green is right there on his fine gray top- coat. He didn 't ask us to refrain from using his name, for there's lots of good religioninwatchinga ballgame.Without spelling the name out, he is pastor of the Federated Church of Hyannis.
