BENCHED - Where benches once stood, only empty spaces remain.
Town Manager John Klimm ordered the removal of four benches at the
center of thetowngreen lastweek. Homeless peoplesat onthe benches,
located on each corner of the Walkway-to-the-Sea 's intersection with
the entry walk to town hall,having sometimes-animated conversations
with one another. Klimm said that such activity is not conducive to
wide use of the Waikway-to-the-Sea and that he's received supportive
comments from a number of citizens since the benches were removed.

a woman complaining about certain homeless people on the green,
who made her and her husband uncomfortable.

Hyannis Armory bill
advances
The Massachusetts House
of Representatives and the
state Senate gave initial
approval to legislation that
would transfer the prop-
erty rights of the Hyannis
Armory to the Town of
Barnstable. The legislation,
sponsored by representative
Demetrius Atsalis, passed
both branches without a roll
call on the last day of the
Legislature 's formal session.
"It would be an injustice
if this property was not
given back to the Town of
Barnstable ," Atsalis said
in a press statement. The
armory is being looked at
for a number of possibilities
within the Hyannis revital-
ization plan, including the
creation of a performing arts
center.
A presentation by As-
sistant Town Manager Paul
Niedzwiecki on a downtown
performing arts center is on
the Barnstable Economic
Development Commission's
agenda for Tuesday morn-
ing. The bill needs final
approval by both branches
before being sent to the
Governor.
Barnstable's 'No
Place for Hate' has a
place for you
The Town of Barnstable
received its certification as a
"No Place for Hate" Com-
munity on June 7. The cer-
tification was obtained by
conducting three activities
that focused on Barnstable's
sense of community while
celebrating its diversity.
To continue its work, a
formal NPFH Committee
needs to be established. In
1999, the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) New England
Region, in partnership with
the Massachusetts Munici-
pal Association , created the
No Place for Hate program
as a vehicle to provide com-
munities with a framework
to fighting all forms of hate
and bigotry, and for creat-
ing inclusive communities
that are respectful of their
diversity.
According to the public
invitation , the committee
will meet four times a year,
and will be asked to support
NPFH activities. An emer-
gency response subcommit-
tee will be named from this
larger group, with a mission
to take whatever actions
are necessary in response
to incidents of discrimina-
tion, hate crimes, profiling
or other situations that may
occur in our town.
The NPFH Committee
meets on Wednesday, Aug.
9, at 4:30 p.m. in the Coun-
cil Hearing Room at Town
Hall. Earlier that day at 10
a.m. there will be an unveil-
ing ceremony of the official
"No Place for Hate" sign at
the Barnstable Municipal
Airport .
Barnstable's NPFH initia-
tive is co-sponsored by the
Barnstable Youth Commis-
sion and the Barnstable
Schools Service Learning
Program.
