LAKE CINDY - A reflecting pool of sorts makes passage from Route 6A down Cindy Lane a chancy notion earlier
this week. Town Manager John Klimm saidthe town received its share of calls about flooding during the seemingly
interminable torrential rains of recent days.

ma'm" he said, interrupting our
conversation. "Areyou looking for
something in particular?"
Inmates aren't the only ones
cultivating knowledge of farm-
ing. "I started here 14years ago,"
said Ahearn, "and learned from
my predecessor. " The learning
curve can be extensive as besides
growing hothouse flowers from
seed,the farm also works some 10
acres ofvegetables,has atwo-acre
tree farm inmates manage for the
County Extension Program and
town tree wardens, and about 12
acres of hay.
Ahearn explainsthat whenroad
work necessitates cutting down a
tree or two, the wardens come to
the farm to find replacements.
Other aspects of farming, that
is, the self-sufficiency inspired by
tight budgets,is seen everywhere,
from the office building "that we
dragged across the field and re-
built" after a nearby homeowner
remodeling his home offered the
farm an unwanted portion of the
house.
They also converted into hot-
houses several Quonset huts the
inmates used to live in at the
former jail site in Barnstable Vil-
lage until the new jail was built
in Bourne.
Farming takes machinery and
so does running a house of cor-
rection. Thus, of necessity, the
farm is also home to a repair
garage where inmates taught by
a sheriff's department mechanic
maintain and repair department
equipment such as cruisers and
vans and farm machinery, includ-
ing body repair and painting.
Arecent programinitiatedthere
is the complete restoration of old
farm equipment.
"The strawberries are in,"
Ahearn said last week, "but we'll
begin plowing this week and
planting. " Food grown on the
farm - cabbages, beets, squash,
zucchini and tomatoes -isused to
feed the inmates. Whatever is left
is donated to food pantries.
Ahearn 's stint on the farm
started when the operation also
included livestock, aherd of dairy
cows, and chickens, "so I learned
quite abit about animalhusband-
ry"before the livestock operation
ceased because it simply wasn't
cost-effective.
Much of the livestock produc-
tion - eggs and chickens in par-
ticular - was being donated to
food pantries. "You can't recoup
when you're giving things away,"
Ahearn said. A lesson in basic
business.
The farm site, rolling green
pasture visible from Route 6A,
will remain a farm or revert to
open space over the next 90 years
as the result of actions by the
county commissioners and state
Legislature in 1996.
Any profit from the sale of
products is plowed into the pro-
grams for the inmates, such as
hiringadditional drug and alcohol
counselors,buyingcomputers and
paying for educational programs,
allof which would not be available
for budgetary reasons.
