MARKING THE TERRITORY - A property marker sits in the center of the away
team bullpen at Lowell Park, indicating the boundaries between town-owned
and privately owned land.The Barnstable Land Trust is working to purchase
the privately owned land from the Lowell family as a means of preserving
the woodlands.

we want to keep alive."
To keep the funds coming, the
BLT is hosting several events,
including the Gift s From the
Sea outing at Ropes Beach this
weekend (Jul y 20), which will
feature live music, silent and live
auctions , an all-you-can-eat raw
bar, and more, and The Green
Run 5K coming in August.
While a top priority is
maintaining the baseball field that
has become the summertime heart
and soul of the Cotuit community,
Barton said that the BLT is also
interested in the land for its natural
resources.
The forest area contains a
number of beautiful hickory trees,
as well as Eastern Box Turtles ,
a species facing endangerment ,
and a variety of other indigenous
wildlife.
Trails made by walkers wind
their way through the fragrant ,
verdant woods, and many Cotuit
Kettleers fans enjoy sitting in the
sha,de of the trees during games.
Barton cautioned that if the
land was to be developed , it would
not only impact the ball park ,
but would also pose problems
for Cotuit Bay and local water
supplies due to runoff as the slope
of the land heads toward the sea.
She is among many who would
like to see the land remain as it
is, perhaps with a few more trails
that would allow hikers to traverse
more of the scenic interior of
Cape Cod.
"There are a lot of passive
recreational opportunities here,"
Barton said. "We kind of call
this the enchanted forest because
the approach to the ballpark is
through the woods. I don't think
you can live in Cotuit and not
have a personal connection to
the woods."
Gifts From the Sea, a fundraising event
to support the Barnstable Land Trust in
preserving the lands around Lowell Park,
will be held July 20 from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at
Ropes Beach on PutnamAvenue in Cotuit.
The eventwillfeature an open bar,live and
silent auctions, live music by Stage Door
Canteen, hors d'oeuvres by Chef Roland,
an all-you-can-eat raw bar, and more.
General admission tickets are $145,orVIP
with preferred seatingfor $300.Fortickets,

Clark tackled issues such
as consolidation of fire
districtsand charter review
head-onwithcharacteristic
intelligence and energy,
and his decades-old Ocean '
Restoration Company put
thingsright after damaging
storms.
"His often no-nonsense
exterior was necessary
armor in his political and
business endeavors," his
daughter Jessica wrote in
a note to the Patriot, "but
underneath his generous,
warm and loving nature
defined who he was as a
man, mentor, -husband,
and father. I hope he
is remembered for his
contagious laugh , his
jremarkable intelligence,
his never-endingcuriosity,
land his unwavering
jdedication and love to
jhis commitments and to
those close to him."
i All over town, people
jwere remembering the
imany contributions of
Richard Clark.
; "He was passionate
about government," said
jneighbor and friend Rich
jFrench."Helovedthe nuts
jand bolts of stuff. He liked
to know how things were
iput together so he could
make things tick."
j Clark was the kind of
jneighbor. French recalled,
jwho would dive for
lobsters off Race Point
jand then invite the folks
inext door over to share
his bounty
; His friend was a "great
jhunter ," said French ,
before adding, "There
;are big holes everywhere
;now that he's gone."
i "He was a facilitator,"
said Harold Tobey, who
served with Clark on the
town council. "When the
council was fractured in
the sense of the males
against the females, he
brought us together. He
was very, very intelligent
and thought things out,
but more than that, we
became very close friends.
I was proud to be able to
be*part of his family.
Tobey recalled that
Clark was instrumental
in addressing flooding
on Thornton Drive in
IndependencePark, where
his business is located.
"We've been business
neighbors for 36 years,"
said Tony Shepley of
Shepley Wood Products.
"I used to kid him
and say he was mayor
of Thornton Drive, a
dubious distinction. It
was sort of like the Wild
West up there. Richard
was always the voice of
logic and some authority,
to get the road paved and
clean up some of the
behavior."
Clark was "very, very
smart and loved to debate
anything," Shepley said.
"It's a point of great pride
we stayed friends 35 or 36
years."
After selling Oceanside
to a former employee,
Clark "got into cars, old
Corvettes," Shepley said.
"He was almost looking
for somethingto do."That
led to the two of them
putting up a flagpole, that
had been knocked over
in downtown Hyannis,
between their properties.
"He was t h e
mastermind ," said
Shepley. "You'd think
we were building the
Brooklyn Bridge. Who
knew it would be the last
thing we'd work on?"
Like many, Shepley
recognized Clark's "very
sharp mind. He loved to
sort of poke at you to see if
he'd get a rise out of you.
That'sthe part I enjoyed."
Town Council Vice
President Ann Canedy,
who succeeded Clark in
Precinct 1, remembers
that side of him. "He
was gruff ," she said.
"Sometimes I didn't know
if he was teasing me."
Not that Canedy
wouldn't give it back.
"Asa moderator, he was
in total command, calm
and assertive," she said.
"I annoyed the hell out
of him when I asked him
to explain things, but he
did it."
Early on , Caned y
remembered , "I called
on him for advice and
background on stuff
like [the] Village Green
[housing development]
and roads and the airport,
and I got to know him
and appreciate his
professionalism and his
intellect and his dry good
humor."
Canedy said Clark
"seemed very much into
his retirement. He had
sold his business and was
ready to live. He died
doing exactly what he
loved to do."
Jessica Clark said that
her dad was "an avid diver
for over 40 years. He went
on recreational dives,
thousands of them."
Last month, Clark had
gone for a routine drive
on a trip with a friend
to bring a boat up to the
Cape to see the Fourth
of July fireworks. "He
never made it down to
his diving partners ,"
his daughter said. "We
don't if it was something
medically instantaneous,
or an equipment failure.
We think he didn't have
any time to release any of
his emergency options."
> Jessica , who lives in
Boston , and her older
sister Vanessa Clark ,
i
who lives in Charleston,
South Carolina , and
brother Nathan, who's
in Waltham, said that ,
as they were growing up,
Clark was "a strict dad,
but always out of caring
and loving. He had a
hidden romantic side,"
bringing her mom Paula
flowers from the garden.
"She got a flower on
her desk one day at the
office," Jessica said, with
a note that said, "Happy
Tipping Day."
He told her later that
it was the exact day on
which shehad spent more
than half her lifewith him.
Clark grew up in
Greenwich, Connecticut,
and got a degree from
Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute in New York
State.
"He came here with ten
bucks in his pocket," his
daughter said.
"He installed such a
work ethic into us kids,
without needing to be
explicit ," she recalled.
"When we were young,
so often the phone would
ring in the middle of the
night - water damage -
and he would have to get
up and go. Success was
somethingyou earned and
strived for, day or night."
That continued with
Clark's service on the
council. "He 'd always
leave dinner and be there
many hours,"Jessica said.
He didn't do it for any
reason than to help. If
you want change, you've
got to make it yourself."
The "smartest man I
ever had the pleasure of
meeting... really took
life by the horns and did
what he wanted to do,"
his daughter said.
A memorial service is
being planned for later
this summer.
