Coast Guard Museum opens second season this Thursday The Coast Guard Heritage Museum at the Trasyer is enter- ing its second year with a couple of new things, and we're not talking about the exhibits (although those are new, as well). Most immediately, visitors to the Barnstable Village landmark willnotice the well-versed man will- ing to share stories and passion for the U.S. Light- house Service. He's new curator Doug Bingham of Raynham, whose resume was made for a museum all about the Coast Guard Service on Cape Cod and its nearby watery regions. Among other things, he is the former historian of the USCG Lightship Sailors Association (1999-2005), and a founding member and long-time volunteer with American Lighthouse Foundation. The other new feature for the museum is its official non-profit status. The museum opens Thursday as part of the county-wide Maritime Week, commencing its sum- mer schedule of Thursday through Saturday hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This week, Bingham and other volunteers could be found sorting through boxes and assembling dis- plays for this year. Among the features are displays of lighthouses many of which are long gone; a large exhibit of the now extinct lightships called "Floating Light- houses," an exhibit of the Coast Guard's work boats called "Blackships," which include tenders, dredges , and other support vessels used t>y the Coast Guard One of the prized ex- hibits this year is the Vice Admiral Lyndon Spencer Collection. Admiral Spen- cer was one of the most decorated Coast Guard officers who participated in the Invasion of Normandy on D-Day, coordinating the landing at Utah Beach. His exploits were praised by General Dwight Eisenhow- er and Spencer was deco- rated by the Free French Government. Spencer di- rected the landing of Army, Navy and Coast Guard forces and equipment on Utah Beach. His ship was the Bayside. Admiral Spencer spent part of his distinguished career as a member of the Coast Guard Group Woods Hole in the 1940s. Admission for children 10 and under is free. Active Duty Coast Guardsmen are also admitted free. Admis- sion for all others is $3. Bus tours are welcome. There will be a surcharge for special events to be an- nounced.

I Beatty candidacy adds to list of adventures Congressional hopeful addresses town GOP By Paul Gauvin pgauvin@barnstablepatnot.com PAUL GAUVIN PHOTC TERRORISM TRUTHS -10th Congressional District candidate Jeff Beatty, an anti-terrorism expert, helicopter pilot and former Delta Force oflicer, FBI and CIA agent prepares to deliver a terrorism slide show to members of the Barnstable Republican Town Committee earlier this week. Any similarity between 10th Congressional District candi- date Jeff Beatty and James "007" Bond is purely coinci- dental. Beatty is the real thing. The Harwich Republican , whoaimsto unseat Democrat- ic U.S. Rep. William Delahunt , reallywasshot down and badly injured in action while piloting aBlackhawk helicopter; really was aDelta Force commander; really did serve with FBI and CIA counter- and anti-terror- ism units; really was targeted for assassination in a foreign country and really does run an international business dealing with major security issues. That briefly was the cur- riculum vitae offered by the 54-year-old adventurer to some 50 people at a Barnstable Republican Town Committee meeting Monday in the con- ference room of Poyant Real Estate on Barnstable Road in Hyannis. And if Beatty can capture votes as he captivated this week's audience with a slide show and quick read of "Ter- rorism 101,"he could be a for- midable political foe testing Delahunt' sincumbent bid for a sixth two-year term - even though Beatty is running as a Republican , the party, according to most national pundits , most vulnerable in the mid-term balloting. "Don't let the sleight-of-hand crowd make you believe this election is about (President George ) Bush," Beatty told the partisan audience. "This is not a referendum on Bush. This is a congressional elec- tion," he said, implying that it is about replacing "cookie- cutter " congressmen, not the president. Beatty told the audience last night that he has already secured a place on the bal- lot by turning in some 3,000 signatures while he needed only 2,000. He urged audience members "to help others (can- didates) who need signatures and are here tonight. " That included Doug Bennett of Nantucket,looking to unseat C&I Sen. Robert O'Leary; Will Crocker, who wants to replace Demetrius Atsalis as 2nd Barnstable District state representative and Phil Paleologos of New Bedford , a diner owner hoping to unseat Governor 's Councilor Carole Fiola of Fail River. Beatty spent most of his 30-minute presentation famil- iarizing the audience with the terrorist mentality and modus operandi. He had to be asked by an audience member what it was he hoped to accomplish as a congressman. "Anoverhaul of Congress,"he replied,to include "term limits and campaign finance reform." He said too many congress- men spend a lifetime in office , which, he noted , was not the intent of the Constitution 's authors. As aninternational business- man for the last 15 years, he said the Cape and South Shore economies "are not what they ought to be. There is not sig- nificant business investment." It'ssomething he would attend to, he said. And, for an expert in security. he said homeland security could be much better for less cost. "I know what to do about that." he said. Asked what he thought ol Bush'snomination of an active general.AirForce Gen. Michael Hayden to head the CIA, ht said: "I'm comfortable with a military man." but similar tc his view of long-term congress- men, said he wouldn't want tc see only military men handling the nation'ssecurity: "It needs a mix, different viewpoints." POLITICALPOTPOURRI Family loss changes Perry plans State Rep. Jeff Perry has cancelled his May 25 campaign kickoff and June 10 Flag Day fundraiser following the death of his infant granddaughter. "On behalf of my entire family, Iwishto thank everyone for their prayers, support , and sympathy during this most difficult time for our family," the Sandwich Republican wrotein hismonthly e-mail newsletter. "While we are obviously still struggling with the loss of Paige Victoria , we are very appreciative for the friend- ship of so many people." On July 30 at 2 p.m.. Joe Vaudo will hold a lobster and clam bake fundraiser for Perry at the American Legion hall on Route 1130 in Sandwich. Call 508-888-2158 for details. The representative ' s new e-mail address is jeffw electjeffperry.com Impeachment debate is tonight It sounds like a classic match-up: Independent Con- gressional candidate Peter White calling for the impeach- ment of President Bush , and former Barnstable Selectman Francis Broadhurst opposing the action. They'll make their cases at a free pubic forum tonight at 7at Cape Cod Com- munity College. Perry and Turkington on same page Jeff Perry calls it a tax credit and Eric Turkington calls it a tax break , but both agree that "An Act Relative to Establishing Massachusetts Land Conservation Incen- tives"ought to get a favorable recommendation from the House Committee on Ways CONTINUED ON PAGE A:11 1 ¥H '! _ R_ X S_P^^^_ &AU ^_H_ Tp. ! _¦_* _ ""'¦ '^ H _RT __ ¦ B • ' _ _i? ^BnBw^' _ _ ^_ R— \H_I Hi'.' ^?_s ^^_ *' '''wLj mBm '*'' _|JF^ __ 4_ _M — _J _T MWL BBU^V| "T ^ d____T '"^^P : ^-'- ^'^i^ " -' ' * ¦>*£¦•-* Ti ^___L_^_K- mjjf-^ J I OPEN I CAPE COD HOUSE Saturday ACADEMY May 20th nR. cape's only K 12 Independent 1 -3pm Day School serving all of Call For Southeastern Massachusetts *"" — Information Sate, Values-Centered Celebrating Community 30 Exceptional Faculty 'G9rs CAPE COD Superb Academics ofAcademic \C \ F>F MY Vw Sciencc cntcr ~ii __.ee A—____ I Pcrson.il College Counseling ¦ • J*V Extensive Athletics Program m Diverse F.xtr.i Curricular Activities ^fl_^ Financial Ad Available _JEw«L 50 Osterville West Barnstable Road.
