Making a splash at the LongTable
By Elizabeth Wurfbain
Thank you to all those
who attended our
sumptuous Long Table
event this year!
It was a lovely white-themed
party, as the attendees came
in white, the table was dressed
in white and the decor was
white-themed. As happened
the first twp years, the event
sold out in one week. Await-
ing anxiously for summer,
everybody has been talking
about the Long Table, the din-
ner under the stars, to launch
the season.
Light hors d' oeuvres, an
eight-course dinner, four
types of matching wines, live
steel band then jazz set off
our perfect evening. Midway
through the third course, an
errant summer squall landed
over Main Street. The elegant
evening took on a more fes-
tive turn especially as the rain
just kept coming for at least
a half hour straight and each
attendee reached down inside
themselves and decided to
make it fun. We are proud
of our friends that have such
good temperaments and feel
such loyalty to their commu-
nity group and favorite locally
owned businesses that they
got wet and made the absolute
best of it. People were laugh-
ing and dancing and mak-
ing hats from their napkins.
Sharing umbrellas and trading
courses and warming up
together under the magical
tree. And then it stopped and
the dinner party came back to
where it was...
It was an evening truly to
remember and I think, like
many bonding events, people
will remember the Long Table
of 2014. Something to admire.
The fortitude of the guests;
Martin , the jazz drummer
that kept playing in the rain;
the waiters delivering as if it
wasn't pouring - everybody
making something special out
of a situation that was skip-
ping forward at its own pace.
Thank you to our par-
ticipants for their generosity
volunteering and organizing
on a very busy night to show
camaraderie and celebrate

ated Food District (F.O.O.D.

learning to dance in the rain."
Compound fractures

THE NEWS ISN'T GOOD -Compound owners David Keville,left,and Mike
Nardone listenwithdaytimemanager Erica CimenoJuly9asthe licensing
authority hears testimony from Barnstable Police Officer Steve Maher
about an incident at the Hyannis, Main Street bar and grille. At right
in the background is Paul Weber, who lives on the second floor of the
establishment's building and has his own complaints about Compound.
The
owner of the relatively
new Compound Bar
and Grille says business
hasn't been great, and this week
the licensing authority imposed
a five-day suspension on the
Main Street, Hyannis venue.
Add in noise complaints from
an upstairs tenant and an unre-
ported change in the company's
corporate name that almost
derailed the July 9 hearing, and
owner David Keville is clearly
battling headwinds. On top of
that, Keville said his wife, the
property's manager of record,
is in serious ill health.
Nevertheless, the authority
went about its business thii'
week at a show-cause hearing
for Compound.
Ironically, it was getting a
burst of customers that led to
the trouble. Officer Steve Ma-
her of the Barnstable PD said
that at 12:15 a.m. on June 1 he
saw a congregation of people
outside the restaurant, at least
six to eight of them with drinks
in hand. Town rules don't per-
mit unsupervised congregating
outside venues, and off-premise
drinking is not allowed.
Maher said he did a count
of patrons and found that
the number exceeded that
permitted by the license. The
officer added that this was not
the first time police had spo-
ken to Compound personnel
about handling crowds, and
his questions indicated some
had limited knowledge of the
numbers they were charged to
enforce.
Keville described the venue
as suddenly "under siege "
late on what had been a quiet
night. "Sixty people came in
within 10 minutes ," he said of
what appeared to be a rowdy
crowd of bar-hoppers.
Since then , daytime man-
ager Erica Cimeno testified ,
Compound has had "a door
guy every night regardless of
business"and Keville said other
steps had been taken, including
three staff meetings to address
the rules.
The board voted a three-
day suspension for allowing
more people than permitted, a
five-day suspension for allow-
ing consumption of beverages
outside the licensed premises,
and one day for allowing the
above to happen after being
advised of the rules on at least
two occasions.
Some of the penalties will be
served concurrently, so Com-
pound will be closed for five
days from Sept. 7 to 11.
After hearing complaints
from one of the building 's
residential tenants, Paul Weber,
about noise and lack of super-
vision, the authority voted for
another two-daysuspensionbut
decided that it would be held in
abeyance for the rest of 2014 to
ensure compliance.
