$300K in Senate budget for
Freezer Point
State Senator Rob O'Leary success-
fully included $300,000 in the Senate
version of next year's budget to help
with the acquisition of Freezer Point on
Barnstable Harbor.
The parcel, owned by Stuart Bornstein,
has been the subject of numerous devel-
opment schemes from senior condomini-
ums to educational research facilities,
none of which has come to pass.
There has always been a desire on the
part of villagers to see that land pur-
chased and preserved, but what negotia-
tions there have been between the town
and Bornstein have not gone too far.
O'Leary said the money he's seeking
in the budget is intended as a starting
point for more discussions. A village
group has organized with the intent of
raising money and convincing the town
that preservation of Freezer Point is in
everyone's best interest, but O'Leary
said his efforts were not coordinated
with that group.
He did have a brief discussion with
town officials to determine if there was
even an interest in doing something
alongthese lines and received apositive
response.
The funding now needs to make it
through the joint budget conference
committee to be included in the final
budget submitted to the governor.
Catching a cab may cost more
A number of taxi operators have re-
quested the town to increase fares.
Town Manager John Klimm will hold
a hearing at 10 a.m. Wednesday in town
hall on the request , which operators say
is reflective of the cost of providing the
service.
The proposed rate is$2.50 (now $2) for
the first 2/5 of a mile and 60 cents for each
additional 1/5 mile (now 50 cents).
Kendrick's rollback of hours
before licensing board
After a show cause hearing for Ken-
drick's for violations of its liquor and
entertainment licenses, the Barnstable
LicensingAuthoritywillseeifrollingback
the establishment's hours of operation
are in order.
At the June 5 meeting, the board will
meet to continue its discussion on viola-
tions resulting from an March incident
in which gunshots were fired into the
ceiling.
The rollback request comes from the
Barnstable Police Department "due to
the frequency of incidents requiringpo-
lice involvement inside and outside the
licensed premises, disturbances caused
by patrons inside and outside the licensed
premises and arrests associated with
customers of Kendrick's Casual Dining
& Lounge."
Haul your hazards away
The Barnstable Household Hazardous
Products Collection Center willbe open
at the transfer station on Flint Street
in Marstons Mills Saturday from 9 a.m.
to noon.

property in Cotuit that's being eyed for
open space preservation will be held
Saturday at 9 a.m. Meet at the town
landing on Old Post Road.

Barnstable Land Trust and her two young
sons will lead a letterboxing adventure
through the Bridge Creek Conservation
Area abutting BayviewFarm.Meet at the
John Jenkins Wildlife Sanctuary parking
lot off Parker Road.
Canedy clarifies column comments
In her "From Your Coun-
cilor" column last week , Pre-
cinct 1councilor Ann Canedy
explained her frustration with
the council's recent history
of what she deems as disre-
spectful behavior among its
members.
Canedy was approached by
some of her fellow councilors
withrespect to commentswrit-
ten about the discussion and
votingprocess for awater ease-
ment given to the Centerville-
Osterville-Marstons Mills Fire
District,especiallywithrespect
to the correctness,orincorrect-
ness, of the map referenced in
the final vote. In the end, the
council required subsequent
action to correct the map
reference.
"Regardless of what the
origin of the map was, the
fact remains that there were
two maps and confusion arose
from that ," Canedy said this
week. "Any inference that
I'm accusing COMM of an
intentional bait and switch
(with regard to the maps) is
absolutely not the case."
Canedy also acknowledged
that her representation that
there was a motion to amend
the map on the floor during
the original voting in April
was not accurate.
Even so. she does not con-
sider the example of the map
as the main message of her
column.
"Not having all of the facts
on the table understood isdis-
respectful to the process and
the citizens of Barnstable ,"
Canedy said.
Cape Compact , NStar lower power costs
The Cape Light Compact announced
a three-month rate beginning July 1.
The new residential rate negotiated
with ConEdison Solutions represents
a 1-cent reduction to 11.9 cents per
kilowatt hour.
The residential rate announced earlier
this week by NStar for customers of the
former CommonwealthElectric company
will drop nearly 7 percent, from 11.2 cents
to 10.45centsperkilowatt-hour.Thisrateis
good from July 1to the end of the year.
These follow an offer by power supplier
Dominion, which entered the Cape's en-
ergy market in April with an offer of 10.9
cents per kilowatt hour through Dec. 31.
Small-business customers will see
their rate improve from 13.4 cents to
12.4 cents and industrials will also see
a 1-cent reduction. Municipal custom-
ers' rate will remain at 9.9 cents, and
residential customers enrolled in Cape
Light Compact Green will see 12.5 cents
for the 50 percent option, and 12.9 cents
