First, in these sometimes
sultrydaysofsummer-which
have their ownpeculiarplea-
sure -I wish you warmth,
sunshine and happiness.
What immediately comes
to my mind (and frankly,
heart) to report toyou about
is the joy of seeing so many
in our community come
together in helping to make
the Zion Union Heritage
Museum a reality.
Briefly, some back-
ground.
Asyou may know, on June
15 the Barnstable Town
Council unanimouslypassed
aresolve to fund the acquisi-
tionofthe ZionUnionChurch
property on 276 North St. in
Hyannis. The project goal
is to preserve the histori-
cal structure, built in 1909,
as a museum dedicated to
celebrating the cultural and
ethnic diversity of our com-
munity and the rich history
created by people of color on
* Cape Cod.
This acquisition will pro-
tect and preserve a historic
resource of cultural and
spiritual significance as well
as protect and preserve the
historicalfunction of the site.
The site islocated within the
Hyannis Main Street Water-
front Historic District. The
preservation of the building
andthe creation of amuseum
will provide public benefit
by adding tours to visit the
site. And the museum rev-
enues will provide a perma-
nent resource to protect the
building.
Tribute needs to be paid
to both the Community
Preservation Committee
and the Lyndon and Paul
LorussoFoundation for their
kindness and generosity.
The Lorusso Foundation has
again been extraordinarily
generous to the Town of
Barnstable , contributing
$250,000 in matching grants
and an additional $150,000
for operating expenses of the
museum. May I say, again,
thank you.
I also want to pay tribute
to the staff of the Town of
Barnstable for their consis-
tently strong support of the
museum and give particular
heartfelt thanks to the As-
sistant Town Manager, Paul
Niedzwiecki.And to the en-
tire community of the town
of Barnstable who so warmly
participated -thank you.
The coming together of so
many diverse parts of our
community has revealed
to me in new and different
ways the character of our
town—we are,indeed,acom-
munity of reason, civilityand
hope. Even after several de-
cades of community service,
including service as a police
officer and elected official , I
remain overwhelmed by the
outpouring of good will by

THE AUDIENCE - Tony Pelletier
ponders the delivery of
"The Soundwaves " during a
rehearsal.
THE SINGERS-Acapella octet
"The Soundwaves" from left,
Sue Lilley, Pat Keohane, Dee
Pelletier, Sheila Canty, Helen
Derman, Kathy Ellis, Deb
Sullivan and Dawne Burns,
rehearse at Pelletier's home.
The
elderly woman
stricken with Al-
zheimer's was dying.
Her four daughters stood
alongside in a Florida hospi-
tal room.
One of them, in lieu of a
pitch pipe they didn't have,
lightly hummed a key, and in
seconds, the room filled with
melody the sound of which
had seldom if ever been
heard at such an unlikely
moment or venue.
In four-part harmony, the
daughters returned to their
mother in her final hours
what she had given them
in their youth: The joy of
music. They sang for her the
first lyrics she had taught
them:
"Tell me why the stars do shine,
Tell me why the ivy twines.
Tell me why the sky s so blue.
That is the reason I love you. "
The emotional moment
moderated when another
elderly patient in the next
bed, obviously moved by the
voices, asked if they took
requests.
One of the sisters, Dolo-
res "Dee" Pelletier, and her
husband, Tony, formerly of
Boston, took up residence in
an impressive Hyannis wa-
terfront home in 1997 when
Tony retired.
The property, which was
a simple waterfront cottage
in 1974 when Tony bought it
for $150,000, is on the prom-
ontory of Nelberth Terrace,
at the southerly end of Bay
Shore Road, and has a dock,
swimming pool, extensive
renovations done over the
years and now assessed at
$2.17 million.The seascape
view of Lewis Bay, the chan-
nel and Hyannis Yacht Club
mooring field from the mul-
tiple living room windows is
broad, clear and refreshing.
But what shines'most
about it is the sound of
music. It is a home where
harmony resides.
"We were raised in a rural
setting around Wilmington,"
Mrs. Pelletier, the former
Dolores Enos, said one re-
cent night as she waited for
the other seven members of
her octet of a cappella sing-
ers -the Soundwaves - to
arrive for rehearsal in the
spacious living room.
"My father taught himself
to play the clarinet, saxo-
phone and lastly the har-
monica and my mother was
always singing, even as she
served dinner. Music is hap-
piness and it's the passion
of my life, my mantra."
At age 7, Mrs. Pelletier
sang her first solo at church
and has been singingever
since -for love, not money
- with quartets and the
Sweet Adelines "Cranberry
Shores Chorus" of 45 voices
in the Bourne area, which
she co-directs. "My sisters
and I did harmony at church
and school events, and the
people in our small commu-
nity called us 'The Lennon
Sisters," Mrs. Pelletier said
with wistful nostalgia.
