just a penny," said Pam.
Another item they 've
added for sale is signs
on long, narrow pieces
of wood. One of them in
particular captures the es-
sence of Osterville's repu-
tation as an enclave of the
good life. The sign has an
arrow pointing one way to
Osterville and an arrow
pointing the other way to
"the real world."transform-
ingthe Sundae News, like a
wheel within a wheel, to an
oasis withinan oasis where
sweet respites abide.
There is a cross-section
of magazines that is quite
apropos to life in the "0"
- some on yachting, archi-
tecture and golf. Beth said
they plan to carry high-end
cigars this season for the
summer citizens, "but no
cigarettes."
Pam , nee as Pamela
Bearse in Hyannis,is asked
ifthere is any relation to the
busy Hyannisthoroughfare
of the same name: "I'm
not sure of this, but I'm
told it was the way to my
grandmother 's house."
Now she and Beth are
finding the way to a suc-
cessful enterprise even be-
fore their first full summer
of operations. "It's been
better than we expected ,"
Pam said, excusing herself
to wait on a customer.
"We looked at this place a
few years ago but let it go,"
Beth added. "We had been
lookingover the years.When
the prior owner wanted to
sell, she heard about us.
We're veiy glad we made the
move. It's been better than
we thought" - and summer
hasn't even begun.
The partners , said Beth,
have been friends for so
long "we're starting to look
like one another,"insofar as
they are open at 6:30 a.m.
to 5 p.m. weekdays and
7 to 3 weekends and still
have time to run a catering
business as well. They split
the duty to provide time
for individual errands and
chores as needed. They will
hire help for the summer.
The clientele is diverse. A
mother and child sit at the
counter of clear wood made
shinybythe expertboatyard
application ofpolyurethane.
The mother decides: "We'll
split a sundae."
Apersonable young fellow
who works in anearby store
orders several items "to
go." A gentleman chooses
a double scoop of ice cream
in a cup and when a ques-
tion arises about the square
footage of the shop, takes
the time to pace off the
distances to arrive at "about
1,300 square feet."
Anumber ofpeople trickle
in for newspapers, say hello,
and leave. A woman enters
with a cheery, "Hello Pam,"
lifts asmallbrown paper bag
from the candy counter and
begins selectingpenny can-
dies. "Howmuch are these?"
the woman asks holding up
a candy. "The fireballs are a
nickel," replies Pam.
At 4:45 p.m. -15 minutes
before closing after a long
day - about eight children
barge in and Pam engages
them in end-of-day conver-
sation
Outside , two men with
dogs on leashes sit comfort -
ably on a bench, drinking a
Sundae News beverage and
chatting amiably on a balmy
quiet day.
As the sign says, the real
world is in the other direc-
tion.

communities as mandated for providers in the legislation.
In order to fully contribute to the success of health care re-
form, community health centers must be counted among the
providers in need of rate relief. With sufficient reimbursement
and additional investments in technology and infrastructure.
Massachusetts health centers can help ensure that our most
vulnerable residents will have access to high quality, compre-
hensive health care services in their own communities.
Next year, we hope that Massachusetts'involvement in Cover
the Uninsured Week will be marked by even greater progress
toward a historical goal: providing health care to all Massa-
chusetts residents.

May is National Foster Care Month
Child abuse is a local and national tragedy. Every year in
Massachusetts alone, more than 100,000 abuse and neglect
reports are filed involving children. As aresult of these report s,
more than 44,000 children are found to be victims of abuse and
neglect , every year, ju st in our state. Additionally, more than
12,000 children live in foster care and group homes, most the
sad result of previous abuse or neglect.
Child abuse prevention holds the greatest potential for
children and families, as well as for shrinking human services
funding. Prevention programs can cost as little as $2,500 per
family for a year versus $22 ,000 for a year in foster care. How-
ever, prevention of child abuse has typically been measured
by the absence of child abuse and neglect. But the absence
of abuse and neglect is just not enough; we can and must do
better for children and families.
Our community must commit to providing resources focus-
ing on potential rather than limits, encouraging strengths
rather than correcting deficits. The measure of our success
in preventing child abuse and neglect will then be defined by
the presence of these resources. Ensuring there are nurturing
relationships , education for parents about child and youth
development , and support systems for families including af-
fordable and accessible child care , physical and mental health
services and transportation is key to helping families stay
strong and together.
The MSPCC has been at the forefront of child abuse and
neglect prevention in Massachusetts for 127 years. But the
strides that have been made have always come from the col-
laboration of many. Recently the Barnstable County Council
for Children .Youth and Families held its 3rd Annual Children ,
Youth and Families Summit. The day featured inspiring speak-
ers, highlighted model programs and provided an opportunity
for the community to participate in regional planning t o address
and provide solutions for issues, that is, to create programs
focusing on potential and further strengthening prevention.
Not only this month , but on-going consider doing something
to make sure your community is full of resources fostering
potential for families. Consider offering your support to a par-
ent, providing space for families to celebrate and enjoy one
another, and work towards making hard to reach resources
more accessible. This April, May and on-going do something
with potential! Do something to help keep kids safe and keep
families together.

Children (MSPCC)
