ful woman," says Mrs. Clark
playfully, "is a good cook."
Mrs. Clark's degree in
environmental studies from
Springfield College and her
commitment to environ-
mental issues eventually
landed her a job as a tech-
nician with the Aquaculture
Research Corp. in Dennis,
a shellfish hatchery, where
she honed skills in shell-
fish propagation. She later
answered an advertisement
for a shellfish propagation
technician for the Town of
Barnstable , the first one
the town ever had.
She remains in that
post assuring as much as
humanly possible that the
town continues to have a
supply of commercial and
recreational shellfish of one
variety or another in what
is a cyclical harvest. In ad-
dition , Mrs. Clark is in her
first term as president of
the village's civic associa-
tion.
"The festival is a real com-
munity effort ," the Clarks
say, "by volunteers , the
municipal government , which
helps greatly, local artists
and businesses all; help-
ing with donations and/or
volunteer labor geared to a
local event where you will see
people - neighbors -you may
not have seen for a while.
"The primary mission."
say the Clarks. "is to pro-
mote community spirit."

SANDY NECK UPDATE: Last year
the council approved converting Sandy
Neck to an enterprise account making
the park a self sufficient entity. We also
approved funding for permitting and
design of a much needed new beach
house and expansion of the parkingarea
to accommodate the demand for the
park. RFPs for the projects were issued
and several responses have come in and
will be evaluated shortly. Hopefully the
stars will line up and that work can get
underway sooner than expected. I am
pleased to report that in spite of poor
weather early in the season, Sandy Neck
generated 15percent more revenue than
projected at the close of the fiscal year,
June 30. Congratulations to Nina Cole-
man and her crew for the excellent job
they do running Sandy Neck.
Staff continues to have a challenge
though as violations remain a problem
with an increasing number of underage
drinking arrestsat the park.The BPDhas
been very helpful but perhaps it's time
for some stake-outs along Sandy Neck
Road at night. The saga of the Nickerson
shack continues. As requested , Nina
Coleman obtained the permits to move
the shack; however, the Sandy Neck
Board maintains a hands off position
regarding fund raising for relocating
the shack. The Historic Commission
is still seeking funding to relocate the
shack in the park. It's clear to many of
us; however, that the economics do not
support moving the shack with current
cost estimates in excess of $40,000 to do
so. A brand new seasonal building to be
located near the entrance could be built
for much less than that.
HAZARDOUSWASTECOLLECTION:
The next dates are Aug. 26 and Sept. 23
from 9 a.m. to noon at the Barnstable
Transfer Station in Marstons Mills.
