Cock-a-doodle moon DAVID STILL II PHOTO HALF-MOON NEAR NOON - Last Friday's half-moon lingers high in an often cloudless blue sky long into the day, providing some unique views , including this one at West Parish of Barnstable on Meetinghouse Way.

David Frederici is Catholic chaplain of Cape Cod Hospital. He stands at the hospital chapel before a glass sculpture called "In the Beginning." Father David C. Frederici believes that being a hospital chaplain is like running a small to medium size parish. There are the same routines in both jobs, says the 35-year-old Ro- man Catholic chaplain at Cape Cod Hospital :administeringmost of the sacraments, such as baptism , Holy Communion , marriage and recon- ciliation for the sick and hurt , and the very ill. Some of his corps of 100 Catholic volunteers bring Communion to an average of 75 patients a day.There's always one or more of his part-time chaplains on duty (a deacon and two priests who are assigned to parishes on the Cape in addition to the hospital). The coverage is 24/7. The importance of the chaplaincy to the hospital is demonstrated by the fact that Frederici is paid by a stipend from Cape Cod Hospital. As with the parish priest , the chaplain sees many of his flock every day. when he or the assistant chaplains walk their rounds and otherwiseparticipate in the mission of the hospital. The chaplain can become close to his flock but he does not see them for very long, as science and the high cost of medical care constantly reduce the lengt h of hospital stays. Yet being in the hospital is a trau- matic experience for most people. It's a time when men. women and children need all the very personal spiritual help they can obtain from what ever their religion,and arough CONTINUED ON PAGE VU Councilor wants child safe zones Plan would make info on sex offenders , traffi c and safety risks easily accessible By David Still II dstill@barnstablepatnot.com Those convicted of sex crimes against children may find it more difficult to find a place to live in the town of Barnstable if a proposed ordinance is adopted by the town council.
