A leading light of the waste-
water effort,John Hodgkinson
of Orleans,isbeingchallenged
by Mark Boardman, who ran
for a state Senate seat not
long ago.
Suspenders-wearing Roger
Putnam ofWellfleet,knownfor
his blunt assessments during
Assembly sessions, appears to
have achallengeras does Tony
ScaleseofBrewsterintheform
of PaulHush,who'srun for the
seat before.

How to reform
CHINS
The Children in Need of Ser-
vices (CHINS) system is need
itself of an overhaul,according
to the Massachusetts Society

to Children. To that end, the
Children's League of Massa-
chusetts has filed legislation
to repeal it.

Wastewater wizard
to speak
About 15years ago,Harwich
was faced with a problem. The
state wanted the town to close
itsseptage lagoons at the land-
fill andbuildatreatment plant,
but the selectmen were well
aware of the shortcomings of a
similarfacility built in Orleans.
So they brought in Dr. John
Todd andhisbio-based system
of water-cleansing organisms.
Todd'ssolar aquatics instal-
lation wasn't permanent, but
the experimentdid wellenough
to buy time for other solutions
to be found.
With wastewater again at
the forefront of Cape concerns,
Todd will speak at a forum
sponsored by the League of
WomenVotersandtheWomen's
InternationalLeaguefor Peace
and Freedom (WILPF) Nov.18
at 10 a.m. on "Water, Waste or
Wealth?"He'll bejoined at the

ity,in Bolivia and California, at
Wellfleet PublicLibrary.Allare

Hy-line Cruises hopes to begin construction of a new ferry terminal at Ocean Street and Channel
Point Road in Hyannis in the fall of 2007. Philip Scudder, vice president of marketing, said
improved passenger amenities are the main reason for putting up the building. "Our (existing)
terminal is such a matchbox ," he said. He added that he has an answer when asked if there'll be
a first-class lounge. "The whole thing will be first class," he said. Approval has been received
from the Hyannis Main Street Historic Waterfront District Commission and is pending from site
plan review and the board of health.
New building for Hy-Line
Councilor wants child safe zones...

offenders can live is expected
to get the most attention.
Crocker said the item was
developed in concert with the
town attorney 's office.
Crocker said the idea came
to him during aFlorida vaca-
tion last spring. That state
was coming under fire for
what he said was a "single-
pronged" approach aimed
at keeping sex offenders
from living within certain
distances of areas where
children regularly gather.
Crocker 's proposal has a
similar feature and would
prevent Level 2 and 3 sex of-
fenders convicted of crimes
against children from living
with 1,500 feet of facilities
providing services to chil-
dren.
Level 2 and 3 sex offenders
are those determined to have
a higher expectation for re-
offense, with Level 3 being
the highest.
According to the state 's
Sex Offender Registry Board
Web site, there are 11 Level
3 and 49 Level 2 sex offend-
ers living in Barnstable.
Hyannis has the greatest
concentration , with nine of
the Level 3 offenders and 28
Level 2 offenders. Only West
Barnstable shows no Level
2 or 3 offenders living there ,
according to the SORB Web
site.
Sex offenders would be
one of a three-pronged ap-
proach to keep children safe,
Crocker said.A review of traf-
fic accidents and incidents
near those places provid-
ing children's services and
known environmental risks
would also be posted as part
of the program. Crocker said
the idea is to compile avail-
able public information and
make it readily accessible at
such locations as well as the
town's Web site.
The ordinance would focus
its attention on town-owned
properties for those that
would qualify under the
proposed ordinance , but it
would not be limited to pub-
licly-owned facilities.
Those covered by the sex
offender provisions of the or-
dinance would not be forced
to relocate from their existing
residence , Crocker said, but
the provisions would apply
in the future.
Town council president
Hank Farnham said that
while there has been no spe-
cific mapping done , the Vil-
lage of Hyannis would likely
see the greatest effect from
the proposal because of the
number of facilities expected
to qualify as "providing ser-
vices to a child."
"It may not be perfect ,"
Farnham said, "But we'll try
to make it as good an ordi-
nance as possible."
The item will have its first
reading at Thursday's meet-
ing, but will be immediately
referred to a Nov. 2 public
hearing.
