aybe next year.
With everything from private
property to public defecation to a
beautiful and beloved beach at issue, "Cross
Street Access" to Centerville 's Long Beach
was the topic July 14 when the Centerville
Civic Association hosted , at the library, what
it called "an informal meeting." And it turned
out that plenty of paths and values about
a 40-foot walkway and beachfront crossed ,
none of which could be resolved right away.
At the center of the issue are actions taken by
Long Beach Road property owner Anastasia
Marty, who has posted a "No Trespassing"
sign on what has long been labeled a "Town

STRUMMING RIGHT ALONG - Barnstable Village songstress and spiritual
healer Alicia Mathewson will perform July 22 in the Jailhouse Jam concert
series in Barnstable Village.
On a rainy afternoon in
Barnstable Village while
many people are dodging
drops of water falling
from overcast skies, Alicia
Mathewson is radiant as
she strums her ukulele to
a new tune.
"I' m composing a
song to celebrate not just
Barnstable 's 375th ," the
localsongstress said. "I also
want to celebrate everyone
and everything that was
here before."
If allgoeswell,Mathewson
hopes to' debut the tune at
the Jailhouse Jam concert
July 22 on the village
bandstand at the county
complex. By the sound of
J
the recorded beginnings of
the song on her iPhone, it
should be wonderful.
It'sno surprise, given that
music is Mathewson's true
passion.
"It builds community,
creates connections, and is
transformative," she said.
Mathewson began
composing at the age of
eight during her childhood
in Barnstable Village. After
graduating from Barnstable
High School in 1988 she
left 'Cape Cod , destined
for Middlebury College in
Vermont. After that came
time spent at Smith College
in Northampton,where she
earned a master's degree.
At thaj,point, Mathewson
did what any budding
musician might:she headed
to New York City where
she wrote musical theatre
and resided in Brooklyn.
She also taught music,
receiving what she dubbed
"an incredible experience
in education. "
A meeting w i t h
transformational therapist
Derek O'Neill insp ired
Mathewson to become
involved with spiritual
energy healing, and made
her aware of how a person's
consciousness is deepl y

involved in what he or she
manifests in life.
"I learned how powerful
music is in that equation,"
Mathewson said. "Sound
and vibration; I use them
to heal others and myself."
