(Poem)The Old Tory Tavern
of Barnstable (Built before 1700
-Takendown 1855)
Famous hostelry it was in the
days old Colonial/And opposite
the lane, called Rendezvous, it
stood/Flush with the sidewalk,
square, sold and spacious/Its
beams and its posts hewn from
primevalwood-
OneFlagand One Country,now
from ocean to ocean/Where once
Tory and Federalist could never
agree/Saint Mary's Episcopal
Church is now standing/And it's
peace to the ashes of the Old
Hostelry.

For the past several years
there has been more or less talk
about the desirability of forming
a Beach Club and acquiring, if
possible, a part of the Craigviile
Beach suitable for that purpose
... The idea has taken a more
concreteform recently and about
ten of the property owners and
residents of Wianno and Hyan-
nisport have procured an option
on a piece of the beach which it
is believed would be suitable for
such a club.

Approve the AHOD
The proposal for an afford-
able housing overlay district
went down to defeat last year,
with some on the council
objecting to various aspects
of the plan.
Planning board members
suggested that the town
simply try the 40 percent
affordability requirement, ar-
guingthat if that percentage
didn't work it could always be
changed. In the end, that's a
fair approach.
Osterville Councilor Jim
Crocker, who did not vote '
when this came up in Decem-
ber because of a potential
conflict, is under no such
restriction this time. His
non-vote last time essentially
counted as a "no"because of
the statutory voting require-
ments. He plans to affirm
that default position next
week, as the minor changes
to the language, most signifi-
cantly providing for a sunset
period for review, are not suf-
ficient.
Crocker does support the
concept , however; it'sjust
the details.
The AHOD concept is not
tied to any one area of town,
but would be available to be
applied to residential areas
across town, similar to Chap-
ter 40B proposals. Unlike the
state process, a developer
needs to identify a parcel,
draft a concept plan and
apply to the town council to
have the AHOD provisions
applied.
That's a process that re-
quires negotiation, not a
sledgehammer, and should
not be seen as a negative.
Gaining the designation
would be step one, with a
more comprehensive review
of the proposal's specifics
to follow through a planning
board-governed process.
The proposal provides a
strong option for develop-
ers to consider, and puts the
town in a position to offer
something beyond the adver-
sarial 40B approach.
The percentage of afford-
able units may be too high,
especially in a real estate
market seeking its new, lower
level, but there's something
to be said for givingit a whirl.
An exception clause needs to
be included to provide ulti-
mate flexibility in what can
be proposed and approved,
but the base legislationneeds
to be in place to make it hap-
pen.
The council should adopt
AHOD and provide town staff
the ability to make it work.

CHOWDAH BOWL -Roar-
ing Revenge: Some environ-
mentalistswillnot be satisfied
untilSUVs are banned forever
from Cape Cod beaches. The
purists would complain if a
kiddie car wandered near a
beach. Peter Souza of Prov-
incetown appears to be one
of them. After a long wait,
Hummers were finally given
official permission to hit all
the Provincetown beaches
($40 weekly vehicle permit).
When 30 Hummers gathered
at Race Point Beach,the Cape
CodNational Seashore district
ranger told the Provincetown
Banner, "Ml permits were
purchased ... they would just
be as any other user group."
Souza, however, had other
words for the press. "It's an
environmentalist insult," he
said."They ought to find aWal
Mart parking lot in Detroit."
The Banner story described
the return of the over-sand
vehiclesasthe "Revengeofthe
Hummers."That aloneproba-
blyledWhiteto reactlikeabull

sotiny-but picturesque-that
it is,best known because of
its Bournedale Ringers. The
Ringers are a group of pas-
sionate horseshoe players
convinced their village is the
"horseshoes" capital of the
Cape.PaulGatelyofThe Upper
Cape Codder says the league
that haseight pitsthroughout
the village is really big time.
But then, what else could be
in the tiny village that boasts
only of its picture-post-card
beauty... So, what did you do

tionto ateam ofthree Harwich

Summertime '06 in Bourne
was anything but a typical
Canal Town vacation season.
The town's reputation for
near-zanypoliticsinterferedby
adding ahistoricalchapter to
itspoliticalhistory- first-ever
recall of atown official, Galen
"Skip" Barlow. The summer
of hot politics also witnessed
the resignationof aselectman
to dodge the recall effort and
creation of two new boards of
selectmenin121days.Citizens
of the Canal area are hopeful
both autumn and winter will
arrive with a much-needed
politicalpeace pact... Michael
Lee, who pens the "Lee Way"
for The Cape Cod Voice, is
well-known for his way with
words. He admits, however,
stringing them together can
be tricky at times, particu-
larly when the subject is art.
(It's) "because my colleague
EllenLeBow does thejob with
such a knowledge and elo-
quence that as soon as I step
into the batter'sbox everyone
will realize I've forgotten my
helmet and my bat ( and my

Vibrant Vineyard: The New
Yorker magazine reports that
Martha's Vineyard has been
hit by a "new resort town
scourge" it calls "The Vine-
yard Fracture."The maeazine
devoted 2 1/4 columns to the
"scourge" story after discov-
ering and wondering why so
many persons on the island
were wearing black boots. It
seems they all had fractured
the fifth metatarsal, the bone
that parallelstheouteredgeof
the foot; and that the island's
only orthopedist, Dr. Rocco
Monto,had said that over the
past six years, more than 600
people in the area had frac-
tured their fifth metatarsals.
The magazine said Dr.Monto
prefers setting the foot in a
short,removablewalkingboot
instead ofthetraditionalcast.
Monto alsowasquoted astell-
ingVineyard Gazette reporter
Ian Fein (one of three of the
Gazette's 10-newsroomstaffers
who fractured his fifth meta-
tarsal playing basketball),
"We have the world's largest
collection of these fractures,
by an extraordinary amount."
And, Dr.Monto told The New
Yorker, "It's not just women
inLillyPulitzer pantswalking
down the brick side-walks in
their high heels... if you come
to the Vineyard, ... you'll see
allthese black boots and they
are my people."
