From the Director By Elyse DeGroot Wow , where did the year go? Just this time last year I was writ- ing about the focus groups and surveys we were working on here at the Senior Center regarding the arrival of the tsunami of boomers and the possibility of a name change. And now, just a short year later, we have launched our new look and logo! For those of you who weren't able to attend our 8th Annual Open House and Boston Post Cane Ceremony, please take a drive by and come in so I can show it to you in person. With the help of a marketing committee made up of several very dedicated board and staff members , as well as the guid- ance of Carol McLeod Design of Mashpee , and input from not one but two additional focus groups, we sorted through piles of suggestions for name changes. We waffled back and forth about whether to keep our name or to go with something new and different. Ultimately we decided it was more about the programs and services that we offer than our name and we will remain the Barnstable Senior Center. Next was the challenge of the new tag line and look. Again, we were presented with several very intriguing choices and consulted with the same marketing committee and focus groups to get their feedback. The end result is a wonderful , very energetic , abstract design repre- senting the seven villages in the Town of Barnstable as well as the services and programs that we offer. Again, it is much , much, more than simply The Barnstable Senior Center. The colors, look and feel of the logo combined with the new tag line "Programs and Services for the 50+ Com- munity" really capture what we are trying to create. A Senior Center that is sur- prising, engaging, just a little bit avante garde , and always moving forward and welcoming. I hope you will love it as much as T rln As always we continue to offer a wide range of classes, programs and services this summer. We have three exceptionally interesting art and drama classes that we are collaborating on with the Cotuit Cen- ter for the Arts.

Elyse THE BARNSTABLE SENIOR CENTER WITH DIGNITY - Barbara Cross of Centerville offers thanks after receiving the Ruth Rusher Award duringthe Boston Post Cane celebration at the Barnstable Senior Center on June 8. It was a big day at the Barnstable Senior Center last Thursday. Not only was Evelyn Coleman presented with the Boston Post Cane Award for the second year in a row, but several others were recognized as well. The Legacy Award was presented to Joel Crowell of Cape Cod Cooperative Bank in recognition of the bank's support of local se- niors and the Center. Three local seniors were given the Ruth Rusher Award, presented to those who "best embody the spir- it and dignity in aging." This year 's recipi- ents were Pat Murphy of Centerville , Marston Daley of Hyannis, and Bar- bara Cross of Hyannis. "I think the Senior Cen- ter is one of the greatest buildings," said Daley, who has been instrumental in planning the garden-level expansion. Each recipient received a certificate from state Sen. Rob O'Leary's office , as well as a certificate from state Rep. Demetrius Atsalis' office , and a pin specially crafted by Charlie Foxbearing animage of the Boston Post Cane to com- memorate the event.

Coleman is a two-time recipient. KATHLEEN SZMIT MANWARING PHOTO HONORING MOTHER - Bobby Coleman and Elizabeth Hooven standbeforeaphotograph of theirmother,EvelynColeman. Evelyn was awarded the Boston Post Cane Award for being the oldest Barnstable resident for the second year in a row. At 104years young, Evelyn Coleman certainly has much to reflect on. She has seen many changes in a century of living, from early telephones to first televisions. What Colemanrecallsmost fondly, however, are life 's simpler pleasures - farm- grown vegetables , boats on the harbor, and homemade ice cream for dessert. Barnstable residents will remember Coleman as the two-time recipient of the Boston Post Cane Award, presented on June 8 during aceremony at the Barnstable Senior Center. "I was so sur- prised," said Coleman while admiring the flowers from the patio at Cape Regency in Centerville. "I didn't know I was still the oldest." The award, which began in 1909, is awarded to the oldest resident of the town of Barnstable. According to unofficial records Coleman is the first resident to hold the cane for two consecutive years. She is also the first recipient of the Cane after a 16-year hiatus in presenting the award. Although Coleman was unable to attend the awards ceremony due to inclement weather, she was thrilled to be the recipient of the cane once again."She wants every- oneto know what awonderful honor thisis,"said her daugh- ter, Elizabeth Hooven. Coleman was born and lived for 18years in a hamlet in Nova Scotia where her fam- ily operated a farm. "Oh, we had pigs and cows and hens and goats," said Coleman. "We ate the best veggies and the best milk and cream." Coleman said her father made shoes for local fisher- men and woodsmen. "We had good neighbors," she said of Nova Scotia. After arriving on the Cape, where she met her late hus- band , Wesley, Coleman came to appreciate life on the pen- insula. "I loved everything, " she said. "The simplicity. It is a quiet area." Together she and her hus- band owned and operated a small grocery store in Park Square called, appropriately, Coleman's. Evelyn also enjoyed rais- ing her four children. "I have three girls and one boy," she said, also noting a large CONTINUED ON PAGE B:7 She's still the one include ¦ ptjfei'fyj^'iisifftBo y^ii i ii i l i • FRESH BREADS \ t.... - J^^B * ^_^_^_^_ H 1 1^ ^^f*?
