A season of giving
Just when it seems plausible
that every possible photograph
from every possible location
in this town has been taken,
the panoramic muse inhabiting
Barnstable pipes up.
That desperate feelinghad been
growinginrecent weeks.The ran-
dom but targeted drives to find a
shot, any shot,that demonstrates
something unique, or at least at-
tractive, were becoming longer
and less fruitful. Too-familiar
places gave too-familiar views of
visions perhaps too common to
appreciate. Besides which, they
looked like the photo taken last
week or the week before.
But then the light shifts, the
wind changes and what had been
typical becomes something more
striking.
A growingred sun steadilysink-
ing toward a hazy and increas-
ingly pink horizon, such as the
one viewed from Scudder Lane
in Barnstable (unfortunately
seen here in black and white)
contained that kind of scene-
shifting magic.
A couple hundred flashes of
blue light and its accompanying
all-rumble orchestra can do the
same.
Here'sto surprisingviews of the
familiar and a sense of renewal.

to inform his friends in Sandwich and the public
generallythat he has abandoned the sale of Ardent
Spirits of every description,and requests those who
wishto patronize himunder such circumstances to
give him a call -where they may be supplied with
a good assortment of English and W.I. Goods. He

and he hopes those who would not patronize him,
when trancing inthe sale of Ardent Spirits,willnow
give him a share of their patronage. JOHN GIBBS

that the school, set up to be a Catholic school, was
never sanctioned by the Diocese of Fall River (of

dents to fill the classrooms and pay the tuitions.

CHOWDAH BOWL: State
Department of Revenue chair-
man Gerard Perry called
Cheryl Andrews , chairman
of Provincetown selectmen,
to tell her what most Cape
Coddersknow- that "Provinc-
etown is out of sync with the
rest of the commonwealth,"
according to a report in The
Cape Codder. Cape-enders
will say it's Perry and most
Cape Codders who are out
of sync. Separated by a few
pages from the Perry story was
the following lead to another
Provincetown story: "Com-
mercial Street is jammed ,
Provincetown 's main thor-
oughfare isclogged with street
performers , drag queens, art-
ists with easels painting the
harbor , Bulgarian kids on
bicycles and hundreds of tour-
ists zig-zagging from shop to
shop like a pin ball ricochet-
ing off the storefronts. "....
Nightingale Love Song: For
25 years Gail Nightingale has
enjoyed a "love affair"withthe
Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape
Cod Baseball League.And it's
continuing.Verv likely, no one
on the Cape cheered louder
for Philadelphia Phillies' star
Chase Utley in this month's
major league All-Star Classic
than Nightingale, owner of
the Osterville Package Store
where Utley worked while
playing for Cotuit. Utleyisone
of a parade of Kettleers em-
ployed by Nightingale during
the past 25years.Nightingale ,
wife of retired Barnstable
Police Chief Neil Nightingale,
told The Upper Cape Codder
newspaper: "It's been a good
experience ... a lot of players
keep intouch and come back."
.... Classy chronicling: "Aqua-
culture hasits edge -no gypsy
moths, potato beetles, scare-
crows,fertilizers or fungicides.
But it'shardly feet up, ginand
tonic in hand on the veranda ,
watching and waiting for the
oysters to get fat." - Rich
Eldred in The Register. ...The
newspaper headline read ,
"Cape Wind hearings near
end." CC: Thank goodness!
Now let's get them built....
Caruso Coyote:Provincetown
Banner columnist Jackson
Lambsjrt' s description of a
coyote who interrupted his
dog's nap: "Mournful notes
of the coyote's plaint to the
rising moon, a wild and lonely
melody, boo woo hoo at the
end of every couplet. It was
an old Kiowa coyote mel-
ody, taught to the coyotes
by their grandmothers." ....
Clang-Clang: Of course, Cape
Codders knowthat the trolley
was part of Upper Cape life
in early days. A report that a
trolley remnant was found in
a North Sagamore back yard
led newsman Paul Gately of
The Upper Cape Codder to
do some research. The trolley,
he report s, ran from White
Horse Beach in Manomet
to Sagamore Beach, to the
Cape Cod Canal and then
into Sagamore Village .... A
Harwichite informs CC that
a new (to the Cape) sport is
intriguing the natives. They
call it petanque (pay-tonk),
a sport from France that re-
sembles the Italian game of
bocce which is popular at the
Marconi Club in Sagamore.
Petanque was introduced
to Harwich by newcomer
Francois Miran.... Sudden
Thought:Whatever happened
to former Cape newspaper
peopl e Milt Stewart , Hal
Houser and Joe Sherman?
.... There's this medical sec-
retary from Harwich, Paula,
who say's she's wild about
the Patriot's Teddy Bruschi,
so much so that she named
her newly-acquired beagle
"Bruschi."WhenPaula arrived
at work one recent morning,
she found on her desk a small
football - autographed by
Bruschi. A patient, a close
friend of the Patriots star,had
learned about Paula'senthusi-
asm for Bruschi and obtained
the autographed pigskin.
