Council review committee... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 of the 2010 federal census, which may add more voting precincts to Barnstable 's ex- isting 13. The town's charter requires a single councilor from each of the town's pre- cincts, which means the size of the body grows in response to population increases. The council can petition the state Legislature to change the town's charter. It has done so on more than one occasion , most significantly in 1993 when precinct rep- resentation moved from two councilors to one. That was in reaction to the 1990 federal census and had the support of a majority of town voters at a special election. Any recommendation is- sued by the committee that is supported by the council can be expected to go before the voters, most likely at a No- vember 2007 town election. As approved by the council, the committee was to have a minimum of nine members. Farnham received only 11 letters of interest , so he decided to name all of those who applied. The committee has a dead- line of Feb. 1to complete its work.An organizationalmeet- ing will be called shortly. Committee Members Councilor Jim Crocker , Osterville; former councilor Susan Rohrbach , Centerville; former municipal officer and current West Barnstable Fire District Prudential Commit- tee member John Brennan, 1999-01 charter commission chairmanLucien Poyant,West Hyannisport ; Hyannis Civic Association board member Al- len Goddard; 1988-'89 charter commissionchairmanMichael Daley, Marstons Mills; former town councilor Jacques Mo- rin, Marstons Mills; Hyannis activist Lou Gonzaga; com- prehensive financial advisory committee and fire district study committee member Mike Ingham , Centerville; Barnstable Village activist/ volunteer MarcyDugas;Cotuit Fire District Prudential Com- mittee member Ron Mycock, Cotuit; and Hyannis activist and town council candidate John Alden. Gerry Studds dies at 69... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 "There was a very personal and private side that made his involvement in politics painful. " Studds served Cape Cod, the Islands and varying com- binations of southeastern Massachusetts towns in Con- gress from 1973 to 1997. He focused on ending the war, opposing later military misadventures , and on the maritime and related envi- ronmental matters so dear, to his district. When Chatham 's fisher- men despaired of getting the government to dredge their channel out of Aunt Lydia's Cove , Studds and his well- regarded staff attached the authorization as a rider to a bill devoted primarily to the Baltic nations. After Bill Delahunt succeeded Studds , he kept that staff intact. "His tenacity in winning passage of the 200-mile limit revitalized the New England fishing industry and created thousands of jobs in com- munities all along our coast ," Delahunt said in a press statement. "Most of all,"the Congress- man continued , "we will re- member Gerry for his quick wit. He once boasted to me that his pivotal role in the revival of the striped bass was not in legislating a recovery plan, but in his inability to catch any." "In Washington , his wit could disarm and render helpless nearly any neocon- servative ideology,"said Mark Forest, who joined Studds ' staff in 1984 and now serves as chief of staff for Delahunt. Even with such a weapon , Forest noted , Studds "ap- proached the job in a very bipartisan way. That's a trait you'll find very rare in Wash- ington. He had a unique skill in crafting bipartisan things on controversial issues such as endangered species pro- tection and fish conserva- tion." Studds twice rose to chair- man of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Com- mittee,losing the post first in the aftermath of his censure for an affair with a 17-year-old Congressional page. After regaining the chairman'sseat at the start of Bill Clinton's presidency, he chose not to run again in 1996 as the Re- publican counter-revolution settled in on Capitol Hill. Studds apologized for hav- ing a relationship with a subordinate , even though the young man had reached the age of consent in the District of Columbia. He became the first openly gay member of Congress. In 2004, the former Con- gressman married his partner, Dean Hara , who survives him along with other family members. "From his days in the ear- ly 1970s as an articulate and effective opponent of the Vietnam war, through his consistent leadership on environmental issues , to his insistence that the U.S. government stop ignor- ing the AIDS crisis, Gerry was a powerful advocate for causes that were not always popular and that were con- sequently shunned by many politicians,"U.S. Rep. Barney Frank,who represents part of Studds ' old district , said in a statement. "His political strength on the Cape and Islands made it easier for other Democrats ," said Forest. "His rallying cry to the troops on the Cape was, 'Let's lose by no more than 2 to 1. Let's hold them to 2 to 1." With former and current staffers still stunned by Studds ' unexpected death , Forest said he told one col- league to "think of it this way.With Gerry in heaven,I'd have to say our odds of gain- ing the House have improved significantly." Then speaking of another departed lion of the Cape's democratic pride , Forest smiled and said, "I'm sure Dick Bigos has already come up with a plan on how to do it." CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:9 recognition capability for entering both text and Win- dows commands - a boon for the disabled and the overwrought multi-tasker. Speech recognition is an applet accessed from the Control Panel. Vista ships with Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), which has had a much-needed revi- sion. It now has tabs , as does Firefox's Mozilla, and a "quick tabs"view that shows thumbnails of all open Web pages. If you are using xp all of Vista's new bells and whistlesare adownload away, but Vista wraps everything into an appealing package. There is a Web-search box in the upper left corner. The default search engine isMSN (surprise!), but it can be changed easilyto Google, Ask or your own preference. Information has a nasty way of being stored wherever it is convenient , not where it ismost easilyretrieved. Vista solves the problem of infor- mation stored on desktops, laptops , PDAs, cell phones and the like with improved data synchronization and faster data transfer. It will be much easier to organize and search data. This is critical to those of us who depend on the accuracy, reliability and accessibility of databases. Road warriors have their own reasons to celebrate. Vista conveniently collects mobility-related features , such as power plan, bright- ness and wireless connec- tion, into a Mobility Center. There is no longer any need to search for an arcane func- tion you remember seeing a long time ago. Improved power managementwillmake laptops faster coming in and out of sleep states. Perfor- mance, security and wireless networking features are also enhanced. In the spirit of ultimate cooperation , Vista is supposed to let WiFi-en- abled notebooks establish a peer-to-peer network in spots that lack WiFi infrastructure or even an Internet connec- tion. The glitzy Aero Glass interface will run on some high-powered notebooks, but there are unresolved compat- ibility and stability errors. The next iteration of Vista will probably have a feature Microsoft calls Side Show. Think of the external display on a clamshell phone. In a mobile PC, it could display a calendar, contact informa- tion, stock quotes or email subject lines. There would be noneed for areboot for asales rep to see the next appoint- ment. Now all Microsoft has to do is convince the laptop manufacturers to include the secondary display. Vista comes in six deli- cious flavors. For home users there is Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate. Busi- nesses can choose the Busi- ness or Enterprise package , and there is a package called Starter for emerging mar- kets. Upgrading from XP will cost between $100 and $260 , depending on which version you select. So form a double line in front of your favorite software vendor. No pushing! There will be plenty for everyone sooner or later - probably January. Shouldyou upgrade assoon as Vista becomes available? That depends. Conventional wisdomsayspick the software you want to run, then pick the hardware that will run it. And of course, when choosing hardware, be sure there is a clear upgrade path that will postpone inevitable obsoles- cence aslong as possible. But for those of us who depend on frequent handholding by Big Bill's minions, consider this: Microsoft recently discontin- ued phone and online tech support for Windows 98.Unre- constructed Luddite users ot Win98 are now officially out in the cold. If Win98 is the ratty, old cyber-Teddy bear you just can't part with, it's probably time to get a new operating system and a life, not neces- sarily in that order.
