First Osterville Maritime Festival Mav 20 The first Osterville Maritime Festival is sched- uled for Saturday, May 20, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with events throughout the vil- lage. Festival organizers promise the village will be "soaked with events of his- tory, heritage and fun for all." The day will be headlined by tours and exhibits at the Osterville Historic Society & Museum, a lecture at the Osterville Free Library by Don Nelson of the Co- tuit Oyster Company, and a Pirate's Treasure Hunt, sponsored by West Bay An- tiques & Estate Sales and Homeward Bound. Mermaids are expected to visit Bedroom I's and rumors are that a "paw- rade " of dogs (A Wagawi Parade) in full sailor's rega- lia will again take over Main Street. All the day's events will . be accessible as an antique trolley will run circuits through the village and to the museum. Posters for the event have been distributed (more are at the printer) and the Festival has been listed in all Cape-wide calendars and brochures coordinated by the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce for the annual Cape Maritime Days. The detailed program of events is still in develop- ment and opportunities for local shops to participat e still exist. Description of the sponsored activities for the Festival should be e-mailed to Jim Powers at jpowerandcompany@aol. com as soon as possible with images, visuals and pictures. Those in need of more information about becom- ing involved are asked to contact Russ Nesbitt, the Festival Committee Chair, at Oyster Island Emporium (508-428-5050) for more details. All hands on deck! By Paul Gauvin pgauvin@barnstablepatriot.com PAUL GAUVIN PHOTC SWEET PLACE - Owners Pam Zibutis, left, and Beth 0 Neil, right,of Osterville Sundae News, finish stacking papers by the candy counter. Pam Zibutis and Beth O'Neil of the Osterville Sun- dae News are cabinetmakers, and thereby hangs a tale of linguistic trivia, according to Pam. Their cabinets are not the kind one hangs in a kitchen. Nor are they the type appointed by heads of state. Theirs is what is more com- monly known as a "frappe. " "But in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachu- setts," said Pam, " a frappe is called a cabinet." To find out why, one has to turn to the Dictionary of American Food and Drink to learn that the refreshingly filling and frothy blend of milk, syrup and ice creamis distinguished by Rhode Islanders from a milkshake (blended milkand syrup) and is so named from the rectangular "cabinet" in which older model mixers were encased. Besides vanilla, chocolate and strawberry syrup, there is also coffee syrup, a South- eastern Massachusetts favor- ite that aficionados consume with a package of peanut butter crackers called "nabs" -short for Nabisco. "Acab and a nab please," is frequently heard there. Accompanying the trivia last week was the reality that off-season "business is good" and made possible by the regular patronage of the "wonderful people " from Osterville Center'sretail establishments, winter resi- dents,neighborhood children and assorted craftsmen who stop by for lunch of beef stew, sandwiches or marinated veggie salad, among other varying daily menu items, saysPam. One might add that Pam and Beth's good humor and outgoing personalities embellish the experience. "We paid for good will, but we're creating more of our own," Pam said with a smile. A TV set sits behind the gleaming wood counter with seating for 10. "If the women get here for lunchtime before the men, it's the soaps. If the men get here first , it's the news," said Pam. When three proper elder- ly ladies from Connecticut stopped by last week for sun- daes and frappes , Pam asked, tongue in cheek "You came all the wayfrom Connecticut just for our ice cream?" -which is advertised as home made. Matter of fact , no. "We were just walking by and decided to come in,"the ladies replied. "We're here for a few days and staying in West Yarmouth." Pam and Beth, solid friends since they waitressed at How- ard Johnson'swhen they were teenagers, have owned the Sundae News at 3 Wianno Ave. in downtown Osterville only since August and have added delightful banter and repartee to their menu of ice cream sundaes, frappes (from the French ,/rapper, "to ice"), breakfast and luncheon fare and newspapers. "We added magazines, and penny candy that still costs CONTINUED ON PAGE B:8 'Cabinetmakers' without hammers Page B:2 PEOPLE . a In Next Week'sIssue... gjjf West barnstaole II ¦Bridal Tables I I I I Elegance...
