the Cape & Islands hosted a

brance of Sept. 11, 2001 -The
first Cape Cod Canal Spirit

Walkwas able to raise $3,000
to be used for three 2007
scholarships granted to a
veteran or their child.
We were very fortunate to
have the support of state
Rep. Jeffrey Perry and Mr.
Paul Stewart , director of
development for the Boston
Bruins Foundation.
Rep. Perry read a Procla-
mation signed by Governor
Romney in remembrance of
September 11, 2001. Rep.

urgisCharterSchoolAdvisory
Committee,theBigBrothers/
Big Sisters Advisory Board
and the American Legion.

sion of the 2002-03 regular
season asthe first American-
born referee to work 1,000
regular season games. He
has served as a spokesper-
son for the National Colon
Cancer Alliance and the
NHLs Hockey Fights Cancer
Campaign.
A newlyformed non-profit
entity, the Boston Bruins
Foundation,was established
to assist charitable organi-
zations that demonstrate
a strong commitment to
enhancing the quality of fife
for children in the Bruins
community.
Mr.Michael Quinlan,Pres-
ident of the Nam Vets Asso-
ciation,spoke on the history
of the Statue of Liberty.
We were also very fortu-
nate to have several dedi-
cated men and women walk,
whose parents , brothers ,
sisters, husbands and wives
are veterans of all eras ,
and who collected pledges
throughout Cape Cod & the
Islands, aswell asPlymouth
County.
In addition, the Board of
Directors and several mem-
bers of the Nam Vets Asso-
ciation gave oftheirtime and
their financial support .
Finally, the development
office at the Independence
House, as well as numerous
advisorsprovided consistent
moral support, particularly
in early August when Major
Fred Ritvo , the Veteran
Outreach Center's housing
manager, passed away un-
expectedly. Major Ritvo was
devoted to helpinghomeless
veterans. He served in the
Viet Nam War and received
several commendations, in-

and a Purple Heart.
Sponsors for this event
were Hy-Line Cruises, the
RogueBluesBand,Cape Cod

In closing, I would like to
say how very grateful I am to
be part a community where
the Spirit of Libertyof which
our country was founded
rises far above all dissension
or terror.

Mangano to lead Walk to End Homelessness
Phil Mangano calls Cape Cod - East-
ham,to be exact -home, even though his
office is in Washington and hisjob takes
him around the world.
Mangano,executive director ofthe U.S.
Interagency Council on Homelessness,
knowshowimportantitisto have ahome.
Soimportant that he'llbe leading one of
three sections of the 21st
annual Walk to
End Homelessness Sunday, starting at
AngelHouse on South Street inHyannis
next to the Red Cross.
The national partnership that is mov-
ingto end homelessness extends "allthe
way to individual people on Cape Cod
and the rest of the country," Mangano
said in an interview Thursday. "People
who willparticipate in the walk are say-
ing with their feet , 'We want to be a part
of this larger partnership that brings an
end to amoral and social disgrace in our
communities.'"
Mangano praised Cape Cod for con-
ducting a yearly census of people'living
on the streets and embarking on a 10-
year-plan to house them. Last year, he
said,the count found 78people; thisyear,
the number was 40.
"So what they're doing," he said, "is
working."That includes a "housingfirst"
effort to get people into housingwithout
running a "gauntlet" of evaluations and
observations.
Sunday's walk will set off from An-
gel House, from the Falmouth Village
Green, and from Nauset Middle School
in Orleans at 2 p.m. Call 508-771-5400,
ext. 210, for pledge sheets or go to www.

AHOD appears no closer to passage...
CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1
and plans to take a good portion of that
time to come to its decision.
It's no mystery where the planning
board will end up on the matter.Board
members made clear at the council hear-
ing and at Monday's meeting that they
stronglysupport the proposal and cannot
understand the resistance coming from
the council.
The AHOD isintended as alocalalter-
native for developers to create mixed af-
fordable and market-rate developments.
Speed and defined parameters, as well
as a density bonus on the number of al-
lowedhousingunits,aretheincentivesfor
developers to choose the proposed local
process instead ofusingthe state'sChap-
ter 40B process, which can be lengthy,
costly and often adversarial.
At last week's council meeting, the
hearing and discussion on AHOD took
the first three hours and 15 minutes of
the meeting, leaving just 45 minutes
before the council's self-imposed 11
p.m. end time for the remaining 20-plus
agenda items.
As an amendment to the town's zon-
ing ordinances, the AHOD proposal
requires at least nine affirmative votes
on the council. Based on comments at
last week's meeting, those votes do not
look to be in place.
One objection centers on the require-
ment that projects proposed under
AHOD have at least 40 percent of their
units qualified as affordable. That was a
stickingpoint whenAHOD was defeated
last December and that the provision
remainssuggestedto someonthe council
that theplanningboard,whichdeveloped
the proposal,had not heard the council's
earlier concerns.
Town Councilor Jim Crocker said he
solicited letters from Cape bank presi-
dents, all of whom expressed concerns
about the ability of a developer to gain
financing with a 40- percent affordabil-
ity requirement , as it might reduce the
project's cash flow.
The only changes to the proposal from
the earlier defeated item was inclusion
of an 18-month sunset provision and
language that said village plans adopted
as part of the local comprehensive plans
would be taken into consideration in the
siting of AHOD projects.
The planning board appeared unani-
mous in its support of maintaining the
40-percent requirement. Part of last
week's council discussion focused on
the potential to lower that requirement
depending on circumstances.Townattor-
neyRobert Smith said the council would
have that ability, but some councilors
remained wary ofthe statement that the
level "shall" be 40 percent.
The Cape Cod Commission's 30-unit
threshold for Development of Regional
Impact review of new subdivisions effec-
tively limitsthe AHOD to developments
of 29 units or less. It's expected that any
affordable development that exceeds 30
units would come under a Chapter 40 B
application, as that process is exempt
from commission review.
The AHOD willbe onthe town council's
Sept. 21 meeting agenda, but it is ex-
pected to be held over until the meeting
of Oct. 5.The planningboard willnot have
made its recommendation in time.
FYI: The council did manage to hit
all items on its agenda before calling
