to me that the primary users of
an AHOD would be non-profit
affordable housing entities.
I believe we have the window
of at least another year or two
of correction in the real estate
market with declining prices
before any upward movement
in prices might occur.What does
that do for affordable housing?
Check the foreclosure notices
in the last couple issues of The
Barnstable Patriot and pay at-
tention to them going forward.
Let me know in a month if any-
one (other than the mortgage
company foreclosing) is buying
the homes being auctioned off.
Note how many homes listed
for salehave "price reduced" at-
tached to them now. Prices are
dropping and that willpositively
affect the affordability ofhousing
- ownership and rental.
No question we have a serious
need for affordable housing to
support our workforce through-
out much of New England, and
I feel obligated to help mitigate
that. However, I believe that I
have a greater obligation to pro-
tect your neighborhood from the
consequencesofapoor ordinance
creating maximumhousing den-
sity.The specter of a40B project
at 25 percent affordable being
crammed into a neighborhood
may be a threat, but I can't sup-
port an AHOD voluntary threat
at 40 percent affordable havinga
bigger potential negative impact
on our communities than the
current 40B ordinance. We have
time to work on creating a bet-
ter AHOD ordinance that deals
with housing and community
preservation, before enactment,
so let's get serious about it or
fold the tent.
Thetwoaffordablerentalhous-
ing projects - at the Lombard
propertyonRoute 149andbehind
the YMCA facility on Route 132
-were before the ZBA recently.
While the ZBA had an issue with
doors/windows at the Route 149
property,they seemed more sat-
isfied with the proposal behind
the YMCA property. We are all
hopeful the ZBAwillmake quick
work of their approval at their
next meeting on Oct. 18sothese
twoprojects willfinally get under
way. There is strong community
support for both proposals, so
showup at the ZBAmeetingand
cheer them on.
The Sandy Neck Board has
undergone changes. Nate King,
longtime chairman of the Board,
recently stepped down and Rich

man.I have served as liaison to
Sandy Neck for three years and
find the board to be a terrific
group of volunteers who bring
outstandingstewardship to pre-
serve Sandy Neck's operation.
Onbehalf ofthe users of Sandy
Neck,asincerethankyoutoNate
for his years of leadership and
good common sense as board
chairman. Fortunately, Nate
will continue on as a member of
the board. Rich French'senergy,
enthusiasmand commitmentwill
ensure continuity of excellent

Rich has already organized sev-
eral important events at Sandy
Neck, including a major rehab
of the town's research cottage
which is nearing completion.
Thanks also to the volunteers
who helped on the Coastsweep
cleanup on Sept 23.
I don't know about you, but
I am annoyed by the political

Artists become part of village 'life'...
CONTINUED FROM PAGE B:1
The Selectmen's
Gallery
Inside the small,
square historic struc-
ture, there is a neat
hardwood floor the
patina of a suntan and
painted walls of tongue-
and-groove boards upon
which hangs a series of
paintings mostly of the
female body, the gender
theme interrupted but
once by two whimsical
acrylics of colorful buoys
by Brigitte Cheyrou.
Artist Claire Marcus
offers an explanation:
"Life drawings - that's
why we call it 'Life in
West Barnstable Paint-
ers.'" Aha! So it isn't
about the village store
or Lombard Trust or ex-
ploring the salt marsh.
Framed morsels of
talent gracing the walls
include the original
pastels, "Pink Nude"
by Carbonell, "Wading"
by Rita Bernier, "The
Bathers " an oil by Janet
Gilmore and "1910 Style
Nude " by Selma Alden,
t o name but a few.
There is a lively print
collection of flora by
Judith Barnet and some
attractive hand-made
jewelry with which to
grace her lady's neck or
earlobes.
From inside, one hears
the intermittent sallies
of persiflage by the art-
ists outside being baked
by the sun and fired up
by their art. One-liners
and laughter convey a
sense of contentment
with the state of affairs.
While several of the
artists have had a life-
time affair with art, most
have taken up the brush
in the wake of serious
contributions to the
practical life.
Maria Watson, for
example, moved to the
Cape after a career as an
architect in Connecticut,
a vocation she pursued
after graduating from
the Technical University
of Helsinki, Finland, and
getting her masters in
architecture at Yale.
Madeleine Dougherty
of Barnstable Village
was a fashion designer, a
registered nurse and still
is, she says, the mother
of four sons; Janet Gilm-
ore was in art education
and Mary Nickerson was
an insurance agent, to
name a few.
Barnet , formerly of
Barnstable village and
now of South Yarmouth,
spent 20 years advocat-
ing housing as a member
of the Barnstable Hous-
ing Authority. She took
up art only 12 years ago
after leaving the author-
ity.
Carbonell, a geriatrics
social worker, admits to
being a wash-a-shore,
but she does it in such a
complimentary way: She
and her family moved
to Osterville 22 years
ago, then later to West
Barnstable.
"We raised the kids
and were distracted by
v
the business of everyday
life -but we were aware
we had landed in a very
special place," she said.
As she speaks, she
continues to stroke the
canvas with a line of blue
along the yellow.A jog-
ger comes thumping very
close by,unperturbed
as though it were just
another empty morning
on the lawn of the old
building.
Carbonell asks "our
model" Marylou ^dc-
Cusker of South
Yarmouth, if she'd like
a break. The model de-
clines. It isn't necessary.
When leisure time be-
came available 10years
ago, Carbonell took her
first step into the world
of art by taking lessons
at the Cape Cod Art As-
sociation.
"I was swept up in the
tide created by the con-
vergence of the Cape's
natural beauty and the
colony of artists already
swimmingin it," she
said. Like the others, she
has studied with other
Cape artists and teach-
ers.
Those who have
perused art history will
concur the noted masters
were males, nary a "she"
among them. Had the de-
parted viewed the scene
on the lawn of the Old
Selectmen's Building last
week from their perches
in the firmament , they
doubtless would have
nodded at one another in
agreement: Times they
are a-changing.
