C.13 Sports M2-AH3 Villages B:1 Weather AM Stained glass takes whimsical form at Samuell Day Gallery By Kathleen Szmit kszmit@barnstablepatriot.com KATHLEEN SZMIT PHOTO A GLASSY WOMAN - Caryn Samuell, owner and artist at the Samuell Day Gallery on Route 6A in Cummaquid, stands before several of her colorful creations made with kiln- heated glass bits. C ape Cod glass is well known,but unless you have seen the works at the Samuell Day Gallery,you haven't truly seen Cape Cod glass. The gallery,located on Route 6A in Cummaquid,just a mile from the center of Barnstable Village, is the conception of owner-artist Caryn Samuell. While the Cape has seeminglyinfi- nite galleries, the Samuell Day stands out mainly because there is an eclec- tic mix of sculpture out front , includ- * ing a large Labrador Retriever. Leading the way to the main gallery building is a delightful array of out- sized wind chimes, flying creatures, and ceramic shoes. Inside,the air is cool and a large African Gray parrot named Toby perches on top of his massive cage, eyeing visitors warily.A long work- table is strewn with bits of glass in every shape, color and size imagin- able. "I don't throw anything away," said Samuell. Samuell, who has a degree in elec- trical engineering, originallyworked in creating traditional stainedglass. "I had been making fiber sculptures in Houston, where I'm from," she said. "There was this store in the artsy part of town where I would stop and look at all the glass." It was there that Samuell met fellow CONTINUED ON PA6|U:14 A touch of glass at local gallery On split vote, committee will consider consultants By Edward F. Maroney emaroney@barnstablepatriot.com The fire district study preparation com- mittee didn't crash and burn Wednesday night,but neither did it burst into abright guiding light. With the statement "whether to move forward" on the agenda,it wasno surprise that asubstantialpercentage ofthevoting members present opposed the majority's decision to gather information on consul- tants prior to recommending one for a benchmark study of Barnstable's unique five-district fire and rescue service. A good stretch of the meeting was de- voted to readingthe tea leaves of thetown council's response to the committee's initial report, which that board received but did not accept or reject. Committee member and councilor Ann Canedy said the draft council minutesdid not quite pin down the action taken by that body. Committeemember PaulSullivanofthe Hyannis district's prudential committee warned that, with several versions of fi- nancialcomparisonsbetween Barnstable's CONTINUED ON PAGE A:8 It's 'Flame on!' for fire district committee Use conflicts from launching cited By David Still II dstill@barnstablepatriot.com DAVID STILL II PHOTO PWC PARTY - Personal watercraft launched from the town ramp at Wequaquet Lake in Centerville, such as these seen Wednesday evening, are considered a problem for the nearby public beach. 1 The town ramp on Wequaquet Lake has become a "personal watercraft party place," according to one town councilor who proposes banning the launch of PWCs from that location. Centerville Town Councilor Tom Rugo saidhe'sbeenwatchingtheramp since problems were first brought to CONTINUED ON PAGE A:14 PWC ban sought for Wequaquetramp Light show 'Too many unanswered questions,' says superintendent By Kathleen Szmit kszmit@barnstablepatriot.com DAVID STIL1II PHOTO STRIKE ONE - The fast-moving storm that swept across Cape Cod early Wednesday morning provided some of the best natural fireworks in quite some time, this burst over Hyannis Inner Harbor being a fine example. While bus radio may have sounded good to some on the Barnstable SchoolCommittee,it wasn't musicto the ears of Supt. Dr.Patricia Grenier.Expressing a number of concerns, Grenier encouraged the committee to table the idea for the coming school year while continuing to conduct research. Among the issues for Grenier wasmakingstudentsthefocus of busradio advertising."Iwonder whether it'sright to participate and be a vehicle for that," she said. Another concern was that of reconciling the bus fees many Barnstable familiespay for their studentsto ridethe bus withthe potential profit the school sys- temwould makefrom bus radio. "Isitrightto makemoney off the parents?" asked Grenier. Bus radio would play pre-pro- grammed songs,advertisements and public service announce- ments aimed at the age group riding the bus. "We do, in fact, have radios on buses now," said Grenier. "How they are used is unknown." In contemplating bus radio and how broadcast material would be chosen, Grenier re- called a conversation she had with her daughter regarding a song playing on their car radio.
