From Your Councilor...

them because it cuts down
on their up-front costs.
In return, the Town of
Barnstable should expect
more affordable units from
the process than the results
from the existing 40B pro-
cess.
It is very easy to talk
about meeting the needs of
our communities and resi-
dents; it is now time for us
to take a positive position
on the AHOD and demon-
strate that commitment
is a real way. Surrounding
communities on the Cape
have initiated similar ac-
tion with positive results. I
hope this Council will carry
this forward as it is simply
another tool for us to use to
meet your needs.
I'm getting ready for
a family visit from our
Southern children with all
the rest to join us over the
weekend, so this is a little
short. Hope you are all
well and I look forward to
hearingfrom you with your
ideas and comments.
Mills'hills...

for propagation of hard shell
clams, or quahogs.
The upwellers, known
by the acronym FLUPSY
(FLoating UPweller SYs-
tem) is a floating, controlled
nursery system that forces
nutrient-rich water to the
infant shellfish.
Welling, as it is called,
allows the clams to grow
more quickly, enjoy a higher
survival rate, and conditions
the seed to be in a constant
state of wanting to eat. Wa-
ter is continuously fed into
and through the weller by a
small electric pump, Shufelt
said.
"When we update the
docks some day we could
probably add more upwellers,
Youknow Kris (Clark, the
town's hard shell clam propa-
gation technician).She's a
firebrand. I tellher we'll go
along with that as long as she
doesn't get into the way of
marina clients."
The upwellers must be
cleaned sporadically and
take some maintenance.
He said comments from
marina users have been
good. "They seem to be
pleased with the service,"
he said, and complemented
the two dockmasters, Jon
Snyder and Ann Pacino, for
keeping the marina clean
and their friendly interac-
, tion with slip owners.
The town did not pur-
chase the mooring field
from the previous owner but
allowed individualmooring
holders to buy them.
The Mills may not have
much salt waterfront, but a
comment by Shufelt under-
scores the importance of
Prince Cove Marina to boat
owners: "This is a great hur-
ricane hole," he said. "Hills
and trees - 360 degrees."
