Councilors seek changes, planning board wants it as is By David Still II dstill@barnstablepatriot.com With the public hearing closed on the second attempt to adopt an affordable housingoverlay district (AHOD) for Barnstable, it's unclear whether enough town councilors are on board for it to pass. The Barnstable Planning Board closed its hearing on the AHOD Monday night, with plans to review comments gathered at that meeting and the joint public hearing with the town council last Thursday at a subcommittee meeting the following day. The board has 21 days to make its recom- mendation on the proposal to the town council CONTINUED ON PAGE A:8 AHOD appears no closer to passage Barnstable County's oldest paper to be digitized First hundred years of the Patriot headed for searchable database By Edward F.Maroney emaroney@barnstablepatriot.com fcOWARDFMAM>NEY PHOTO BOUND FOR GLORY - Sturgis Library Director Lucy Loomis adjusts a bound volume of a Cape newspaper from the 19th century. Access to the first hundred years of The Barnstable Patriot will be easier after its pages are digitized next year. With microfilm copies of The Barnstable Patriot dating back to the newspaper'sfounding in 1830,the SturgisLibrarywelcomesvisitorsfrom alloverwhoare trackinggenealogical, shippingor otherinformationfrom the 19th and 20th centuries. Next year, it will no longer be nec- essary to travel down the Old King's Highway to Barnstable village and switch on the playback machine. Thanks to a federal grant adminis- tered by the state Board of Library Commissionersandthe stateAdvisory Council on Libraries, every page from the first century of the Patriot will be digitized and availableinstantly from anywhereintheworldwithanInternet connection. (Imagine how happy the Cape's sea captains would have been to link up with news from home in the 1800s. Why, they might have given up gam- ming with captains from other ships in favor of Web-surfing.) The digitized Patriot will be acces- sible through the Web site of Sturgis, which is the recipient of the $40,000 grant. It will be searchable, meaning that a name or topic can be typed in to yield a mass of references over the decades that can then be read electronically.

Preliminary information from the state De- partment of Education revealed last week that HyannisEastElementarySchoolandBarnstable Middle School are on the list of schools under scrutiny for failing to meet certain criteria set forth under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. This is the first time Hyannis East has been placed on the AYP list. Superintendent Dr. Patricia Grenier attributes it to the constant upheaval the school has seen in recent years.

No slump in pain at the pump Summer's gone, but high gas prices aren't By David Still I I dbsii@barnstablepatriot.com It used to be that smart Cape travelers would know to avoid the gas stations immediately off the Sagamore rotary because they commanded highway prices. Now prices at those same stations are worth lining up for when compared to the stubbornly high prices across Cape Cod and especially in Hyannis. "You know, I really don't know why they're hanging around higher,"saidArt Kinsman,AAA'sdirector of gov- ernment affairs for Southern New England.
