TOWN NOTES DAVID STILL II PHOTO GOOD SIGN -The town of Barnstable received its certification as an official No Place for Hate Community in early June and a sign unveiled at the Airport Rotary in Hyannis makes that known. It was unveiled by (left to right) Barnnstable School Superintendent Patty Grenier,Town Councilor Janice Barton, No Place for Hate project manager Myriam Zuber of the Anti-Defamation League and airport manager Quincy 'Doc' Mosby.The event followed a brief press conference at the airport, the site of Ku Klux Klan recruitment activity this spring, A meeting later Wednesday afternoon took the first step toward creating a No Place For Hate committee and response team. Another meeting is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 13 at town hall. On the Ropes The guardian of Ropes Beach, Peter Hickman, wants the town to continue doing its part to maintain the Cotuit strand favored by young mothers and their toddling offspring. Last week, Hickman called to say tall grasses are growing across the beach again. Hickman helped call attention to the problem in January 2002, when he gave a walking tour to Conser- vation Administrator Rob Gatewood and Recreation Director Dave Curley. Back then, part of the problem was piled-up skiffs, but the town put in a low fence that's helped keep the beach open. The grass was attacked , too, but Hickman says it's back. "I feel sorry that Peter is disappointed , because he worked so hard to set it all up, to keep the beach looking good in the future," Gatewood said Monday. The conservation administrator said he'd talk to other town officials about maintaining the beach. Elks, church due in court Aug. 28 It began four years ago when the Living Hope Fam- ily Church on Mitchell's Way in Hyannis filed suit against the Hyannis Lodge of Elks for not living up to a pur- chase and sales agreement that would have turned the Bearse's Way lodge over to the church for $550,000. Although the chairman of the lodge signed the P&S, the local and regional organization said he was not authorized to do so without an appraisal. A subsequent review put the value closer to a million dollars. Resolution may be achieved starting Aug. 28 at 9 a.m., when the case will be argued before ajury in Barnstable Superior Court . The WB's day in the sun West Barnstable can seem pretty quiet most of the time, but the villagers will be out in force Aug. 19 (rain date Aug. 20) for their annual festival at the com- munity building, Lombard Field, Whelden Library, and the train station all along Route 149. Food and fun combine with rides (hay or train), music (Blue Montana from 11 a.m. to 1p.m.), a clas- sic car show, and the West Barnstable Citizenship Award ceremony, among many others. The buzz on Circuit City A big-box electronics retail store just steps from the biggest traffic problem in Hyannis has Paul Niedz- wiecki worried. "If we don't fix the airport rotary, we're toast,"the as- sistant town manager told the Barnstable Economic Development Commission Tuesday. Circuit City is seeking approvals for a new building to rise on the site of Rogers & Gray Insurance and the closed Star City Grill res- taurant on Route 132. The project will be reviewed by the Cape Cod Commission before the town's formal review begins. Niedzwiecki said he's also concerned about the need to "backfill" existing boxes on Route 132 as old busi- nesses leave. If Stop & Shop wins approval to move up the road to a stand-alone lo- cation, he posited, couldn't Circuit City go into the supermarket's current space rather than create a new building so close to Traffic Headache No. 1? Speaking of Stop & Shop, the relocation plans are back before the Cape Cod Commission Aug. 29. Lots more life left in Old Home Week Centerville's still the place to be as Old Home Week moves into its second and final weekend. Tonight at 7, learn about Nantucket bas- kets, sailors valentines and scrimshaw at the Centerville Historical Museum via talks and demonstrations by Bob Marks of Oak and Ivory in Osterville, Brewster artisan Nancy Lyon, and village hobbyist Shirley Fisher.

The museum's Family Day Festival runs from 1to 4 p.m. ($7 non-member fee for family activities). At 6:30 p.m. Saturday, the fire department will cool things down with its popu- lar foam demonstration at Craigville Beach. The band concert and bonfire get under way there after 7 p.m., when The Moonlighters big band performs. All's done Sunday at 7:30 p.m. as Hyannis Sound sings at The Tabernacle at Craigville.

Three Bays shovels on Three Bays Preservation, Inc., will drop in on the con- servation commission Aug. 22 after 6:30 p.m. at town hall for a hearing on its plan for maintenance dredging in Osterville's Dam Pond entrance channel. The spoils are destined for Dead Neck. See Bayview, and maybe the world During the Barnstable Land Trust's lawn party and auction Aug. 19 at Bayview Farm in West Barnstable, recently preserved by BLT and The Nature Conser- vancy, you can bid on two trips to Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia, other excursions, the chance to appear in a movie made on Cape Cod with Burt Reynolds, and much more. Tickets are $75, available at the BLT office (508-771-2585) or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Barnstable Land Trust, 407 North St., Hyannis MA 02601. The gala runs from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Hyport house to get makeover A house at 17 Hawthorne Ave. in the Hyannisport historic district whose demolition was blocked by the Cape Cod Commission will be relocated on the site, renovated , and receive an addition. Sara Korjeff, historic preservation planner for the county agency, said her group and the Barnstable Historical Commission have seen preliminary plans in informal meetings with the project's architect. "There's been an agree- ment in concept that what he's proposing is good for the historic property and would really meet the goals of the Barnstable Historical Commission and the Cape Cod Commission," Korjeff said. "The hope is that this new set of plans would protect the historic building enough that it would not trigger Cape Cod Commis- sion review." Korjeff said the plan would move the building about eight feet southward and include a small addition off the south rear corner. "The historic building will still be the prominent one," she said.

Council to take up Cape Cares Cape Cares, a grass roots effort to have Barnstable County establish a univer- sal healthcare program for all Cape residents, will be before the town council Aug. 17 seeking support for the concept. A resolution in support has been circulating at other town meetings across the Cape, seeing approval from nine out of 10 bodies. Cotuit town councilor Rick Barry is bringing the resolution on behalf of Jim Gould, a constituent and advocate for Cape Cares. The resolve cause a bit of a stir at this week's council agenda meeting, as the reso- lution is unchanged from the versions brought to members of the councilin the past., At that time additional informa- tion about the proposal was sought. According to Town Council President Hank Farnham, information is still scant on the proposal and he was reluctant to place it on the agenda. Barry "took umbrage"with his fellow councilors, saying that it should not be up to a limited number of councilors whether a colleague gets an item on the agenda. The resolution could be voted on, or perhaps re- ferred to a committee for additional review. Barry would prefer a vote, yes or no. /AndersonWindows'^S^ F=-#%- 362-1 625 ^ k aimaiifiSn^Eldredge& SonsTcom^S^ P _ Open Daily '^"<£rf\ Full Sandwich ^ -i X Menu ? j \ * *\ \A/Iyour favorite I Cr v/ AM / I exotic \ v "v^^^v f icG cr&Qrn HQMEWQE^MICE Gt PlEAi flavor^ \ C\ V >Ov Centerville v- ^* r\v Four c °rners \JY />"p C / ^ / 508-775-1394 ^ ^-JSL—*^ Open 10-9:30, Friday & Saturday till 10:30 www.fourseasicecream.com The bestp lace /f ** \ fo rthe best PT|FT7y| |T^l in window ngfotwH f rtvtm f ashions \———— —-—-^ $100 OFF ^ _ ^irtE33Bf* | on HunleiDouglas window __ _ _ fashion purchases over S1 ,000 IllirltOI 'flnilfllilC Limit one oiler per custome r . iWlllwl UUU*JIC10 P^ L».*lir»llir»lk BH ^^HilL^ i i l l i . l H i L ' l 'l U H B ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ H W H H H I ¦ ItoilMiioUMiMMlill www.blindsunlimited.hdwfg.com gMI^ W^ ——¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ [^~ » _~.
