All dairy... rtnuvikinrrt rnrtki n * n w ¦.n CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:9 kitchen," said Ward. "They are really beautiful." Because of the Creative Creamery acquisition , as well as increased demand for other dairy products , Cape Dairy is construct- ing a much larger capacity freezer, which Ward hopes to begin operating on Mon- day. "It will be set to 20 below and will house tons of ice cream," he said. While most of Cape Dairy's business is supply- ing convenience stores,res- taurantsand the occasional ice cream truck , they do offer wholesale purchasing at their shop. "Anybodywho needs dairy products on a wholesale level can come here ," Ward said, noting that Cape Dairy'sproducts are always fresh. "If you've got a party coming up and need lots of ice cream , this is the place. We don't warehouse anything here , really. The trucks bring it down during the night and the deliveries go out right away." Ward feels that having a business such asCape Dairy on Cape Cod is important. "We know the Cape ," he said. "We're down here. You don't have to deal with product deliveries getting stuck on the bridge." An important aspect of his business is getting in- volved in the local commu- nity. "We're all in business down here. The business on Cape, because of the seasonality, is a struggle ," he said. "There should be a concerted-effort by people ~~6h Cape to do business on Cape." At Cape Dairy, a large part of getting involved with the community re- volves around the arts. This year the dairy put forth a generous donation to the TD Banknorth Pops by the Sea concert , allowing local community service agencies to give 1,000 free tickets for the show to lo- cal families who might not otherwise attend. "Artsare so important for the expansion of anybody 's mind," Ward said. "To be able to expose not just children , but anybody, to an event they wouldn 't normally go to is important for the well being of the hu- man mind." Asresidents of Osterville, Ward and his father both look for ways to be a part of the local community. On Sunday, the dairy will take part in the 26th Annual Chowderfest at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. Then it's on to stocking the new freezer with all kinds of ice cream while waiting for the Pops concert in August. "It's going to be very exciting," said Ward. COUNTY CLIPPINGS Free meals for children There are three locations in Hyannis where children can enjoy free lunches this summer, thanks to the state Department of Education and the county's Human Services department.

Turning on tap at water abatement trust County officials celebrated last week approval by the state Legislature to serve as Cape residents ' "bank" for septic system upgrades, with praisefor the unanimous sup- port of the Cape delegation. The county is able now to assess betterments to secure loans from the Massachusetts Water Pollution Abatement Trust. Previously, that author- ity was granted only to the towns,which sometimeshad to wait for town meetings to act. A county press statement estimates that about $10 mil- lion in loans for upgrades will be available over the next few years. The contact for infor- mation on loans is Kendall Ayers, 508-375-6610. Oil barge co. to pay state $45K They 're not saying they violated the Massachusetts Oil Spill Prevention Act, but Bouchard Coastwise Man- agement Corp. will pay the Massachusetts Environmen- tal Trust $45,000 to develop a geographic response plan for oil spill mitigation. The oil barging company, which was involved in a spill in the Cape Cod Canal, noted that the tug escort provision of the Massachusetts law is be- ing challenged by the federal government.

Handling emergencies - not an evacuation A four-phase Cape Cod Emergency Traffic Plan was announced recently, with the caveat that it was not an evacuation plan. Phase I would eliminate off-Cape access to routes 6 and 28 and set up detours around the bridge rotaries, Phase II would handle massive build-ups by diverting traffic through the Massachusetts Military Reservation. Phase III kicks in when the bridges are closed to large vehicles due to high winds, and Phase IV occurs when all traffic is banned from the spans. At that point, motor- ists can drive to a mass care shelter or go to refitted bar- racks at MMR. Support the troops - again Sandwich's American Le- gion Post 188 will host a "Renew Your Support for our Troops"rally June 24 from 11 a.m.to noon behindthe Henry T. Wing School on Route 130.

Bring an item to be included in care packages to the troops. Also, the county commis- sioners are sponsoringaT-shirt design contest for children who have a parent deployed overseas.
