'No comment' on possibilities By Paul Gauvin pgauvin@barnstablepatriot.com BULKY BOUNCER- Unofficial doorman Forrest Baker of Santuit points to a new sign inside Kettle Ho in Cotuit warning patrons not to take drinks outside for a smoke. PAUL GAUVIN PHOTOS BENCHLESS IN COTUIT - The bench that was outside Kettle Ho inviting patrons to sit outside and smoke was removed after neighbors complained of noise. KettleHo owner Don Patchin didn't say much after a barrage of complaints from neighbors was fired at his restaurant business before the town's licensing board last week. About a dozen people, a goodly number from a nearby condo building, offered similar complaints about speeding cars, loitering, noisy motorcycles, littering and vomit in streets, lewd com- mentary, intimidation and general nuisance allegedly by Kettle Ho patrons, little or none of which was supported by specific police reports. Nor was the frequency of these alleged events addressed: Isolated instances or nightly routine? Patchin's terse reply before licensing authorities was just short of raising his arms in surrender -as though a defense did not exist. Was it because there is a possible sale in the offingand the less controversy the better? When Patchin was asked that ques- tion, there was a brief pause. "No comment on that," he said with a somewhat sur- prised look. Several days after the hear- ing, a rumor surfaced that a sale of the restaurant was pending -maybe as soon this month. "I heard the same thing when I went to Town Hall to see if anything else was hap- pening," Patchin admitted during an interview Saturday afternoon when the weather was hot and "everybody is at the beach."Asked again if the place was being sold, Patchin replied: "I don't want to dis- turb anything." For the record, Patchin says of his terse reply at the licensing board that he was following advice of counsel, Rob Mills. "He said I shouldn't say too much because we wouldn't want it to appear we were accusing anybody of lying," albeit, he said, he felt the complaints "really embellished a lot." The phone rings and some- body orders takeout. Since the hearing, Patchm has placed "people at the door"to count and counsel patrons going out for a smoke and has removed the bench on the front sidewalk that complainants said invited smokers and noise. He has placed signs prohibiting alcohol from being consumed outside the premises, opened a back yard area in the event smokers exceed five out front and continues to police the area after hours, he said. "I'll pick up an occasional beer can" he says, "but I don't sell beer in cans. They're not from here." As to complaints of speed- ing cars and noisy motor- cycles, Patchin says he hears cars revving by at 2 a.m. when he's cleaning up after closing. Not his patrons. And, he says, who can dictate what CONTINUED ON PAGE B:2 Kettle Ho: Caving in -or selling out? By Paul Gauvin pgauvin@barnstablepatriot.com PAUL GAUVIN PHOTOS EARLY CHRISTMAS - Mary Daly shows off neat offerings in the women's section of St. Vincent de Paul store on Route 28 in Cotuit, as she prepares for "Christmas in July" sale. M ary Daly did not need a top hat and magic wand to transform a crisis of cancer into "Christmas in July" and a life lived longer. All she re- lied on was a large quantity of that mystical intangible called faith, spiced with sci- ence and surgical expertise. Next weekend (July 28 and 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.), a healthy and feisty Mary Daly, backed by 137 anonymous volunteers "with an average age of about 75" will conduct the second annual St.Vin- cent de Paul "Christmas in July" sale. It's an opportunity to find clothing and shoes for the family, toys, knick- knacks, costume jewelry, collectibles and household items like dishes and toast- ers, books and "small" fur- niture items, "a lot of them new" and still in the box. "We'll have a big tent there in the parking lot," she said while standing in the front yard of the orga- nization's outlet, a house at 4463 Falmouth Road (Route 28) in Cotuit, not far from the Mashpee line. It is the former site of St. Jude's Chapel, now Christ the King Church in Mashpee, with which this branch of the St. Vincent de Paul is associ- ated. The sum realized from sales is held in escrow to help desperate individuals regardless of race, creed or color and gender who have been incapacitated by illness or natural disasters such as fire and are in a seri- ous bind.
