By Patriot Staff TJI@barnstablepatnot CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS HOWS THAT AGAIN? We confess to a total lack of knowledge regarding the musical abilities of Aly & AJ, reliably described to us as young Disney singing sensations. Just thought we'd note that the duo hassold outtheir Cape Cod Melody Tentshow for June 17. Meanwhile , there are still tickets available to see TonyBennett there Saturday night. Go figure. Remember Hurricane Dog? It spun past Cape Cod in September 1950, blowing at a peak of 185 mph and taking the lives of fishermen offshore. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency noted Dog and other big storms in a "New England Hurricanes of Note " advi- sory last week. Dog rolled up the coast between the Hurricane of '38 (also in September) that drowned downtown Providence and brought eight feet water to sections of Falmouth and Truro and Hurricane Carol in 1954 (Aug. 31), which MEMA says some call "the worst storm in the history of Cape Cod." August and September seemed to be the pre- ferred months for howlers such as Edna (Septem- ber 1954), Diane (August 1955), Donna (September 1960), Gloria (September 1985), and Bob (August 1991). All those names have been "retired" by the Worid Meteorological Organization... Our apolo- gies to Joyce Ginouves of the Historical Society of Santuit and Cotuit for misspelling her name in a cutline last week. Also, the date of the society's An- nual Strawberry Festival is June 10 (that' s tomorrow) not July 10, as noted in that same troubled cut- line..,. Upper Cape Voice of the Faithful will welcome noted Catholic theologian Thomas Groome, profes- sor at Boston College, as the speaker at its meeting June 14 at 7 p.m. at the Falmouth Senior Center, 300 Dillingham Ave.... Schools' summer reading lists are arriving. Bishop Stang High School in North Dartmouth will have all four classes reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, a highly-re- garded debut novel about two boys in Afghanistan in the 1960s and their separate fates. The juniors honors class will get a touch of James Joyce (A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man) and seniors honors students will read Camus's The Stranger and Anita Diamant's The Red Tent.... Chatham honors both explorer Samuel Champlain and the Warn- panoags he encountered here 400 years ago with a four-month series of events beginning tomor- row when admission is free at the Chatham Historical Society's Atwood House Museum on Stage Harbor Road. There will be Wam- panoag stories and games, a demonstration of build- ing a dug-out boat , and mapmaking in the spirit of Champlain. The post office on Main Street will offer a second-day issue of the Champlain stamp. More events take place through Oct. 15. & TV' 1 7 f COUNTY CLIPPINGS PAVEPAWSfinale Thepublic health steering group that has been addressing public concerns about the operation of the PAVEPAWSradar siteon the Upper Cape willhold its last meetingJune 17from 8 a.m. to 12:30p.m. at the Mashpee Senior Center, 26 FrankE.

In introducing the class vale- dictorian, Class President Ben- jamin Erhard acknowledged that the two had a personal bond.

"We're trying a lot of things," he said regard- ing attempts to support students' academic prog- ress. "We work as a team. We have two performance improvement mapping teams. We have a math coach on the math team and an English language arts coach on the English language arts team, and a number of teachers. "We spend an awful lot of time looking at the data we collect during the course of the year. We try to put in place strategies and programs that are going to address our needs and maintain our successes." McDonald said a search committee headed by Osterville principal Don- na Lee Forlorney and Centerville principal Shei- la Burns recommended two candidates, including SouthbridgeprincipalJudy Roy, to incoming Supt. Dr. Patricia Grenier and himself. "It wasan average pool in terms ofnumbers,but there was no doubt in my mind or the committee's that one candidate rose to the top," McDonald said. "This isthe guy.
