Only in Wbt Barnstable patriot 4 Ocean Street Hyannis, MA 0260 1 508/771-1427 POLITICAL POTPOURRI Power breakfasts in D.C. You know that one of U.S. Rep. Bill Delahunt'sroommates in Wash- ington is New York Senator Chuck Schumer, who headed the Demo- crats' national drive to elect sena- tors, and you may have heard that another roomie is Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin. But did you know that "the dean of the town house on Capitol Hill that has served as a kind of fraternity house for a succession of Democrats,"as Saturday'sNew York Times put it, is Rep. George Miller of California, a longtime confidant of incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and one of the 10 most senior members of Congress? The Times notes that Durbin and Schumer will become the second- and third-ranking Democrats in January, and that Miller, a strong liberal, retains his influence with Pelosi even after urging her forward in her failed attempt to pick Iraq War opponent Rep. John Murtha as majority leader. Here's hoping Delahunt is taking notes for his memoir. Back to the hearth Carole Fiola of Fall River, the governor's council incumbent from southeastern Massachusetts who won re-election last month, sent out a thank-you note to supporters. "I must admit it feels great to not have to be out every night!" she wrote. Golf with a twist Tee times could be Long Island Tea times if a bill requested by the Town of Falmouth is approved by the state Legislature. State Rep. Matt Patrick an- nounced progress on a petition by Falmouth to allow seasonal liquor license holders to apply for one-day licenses during the off-season for charitable events. The bill, which is backed by Rep. Eric Turkington and Sen. Terry Murray, would also allow the local licensing authority to grant a restaurant license to a golf course, according to a state- ment from Patrick, "for the sale of alcoholic beverages wine or malt at any location on the grounds of the golf course." Would golf cart drivers be allowed to make "refueling" stops between greens? A vodka stinger sure would take the sting out of a bogey on the 13th hole, wouldn't it? Perry Web site is teen- friendly State Rep. Jeff Perry has re-tooled his Website to offer "Tips and Tours for Teens."acollection of information that may appeal to the younger set. Visitors will be able to take a virtual tour of the White House and respond to quizzes about the presidents. There's also a link for teenagers interested in serving as legislative interns. "My hope is that these resources will serve as a catalyst to get our youth involved and hopefully spur more political and community par- ticipation," Perry stated in a press release. Radiation-fighting pills arrive on Cape StateRep. Matt Patrickiscelebrat- ingthe payoff on years of pressingthe state Department of Public Health to supply potassium iodide pills to Cape and Islands towns. The pills protect the thyroid gland against radiation that could be released in an accident at the nuclear power plant in Plymouth. In apress statement , Patrick said making the pills available in this region is particularly important because Cape residents would not be able to evacuate the area if an incident occurred.

CLASSROOM RAMBLES UNICEF success at BMS By Brittany Joyal and Alexander Blue, BMS Grade 8 Not that long ago was the "candy holiday,"alsoknownas Halloween. On this day many people , children and adults both , tend to forget about the many children around the world who are not asfortunat e as we are. This is why a great organization called UNICEF created a program called "Trick or Treat for UNICEF." Our team, Gold 4/Red 4, at Barnstable Middle School , heard about this program and were inspired. Collectingmon- ey on Halloween started out as a team activity. Last year the team collected more than $550 for UNICEF. Because of this we realized how successful the project was and decided to bring it school wide. We took many days assem- bling our UNICEF boxes.After we watched a short filmabout what the collections would be benefiting, the boxes were given to each BMS team. The film must have inspired our students because at the end of our three-day collection we had netted more than $1,800 for UNICEF. UNICEF is a great way to get involved and help people in our world. This was a very successful project and will hopefully become a new tradition that will be carried out at BMS for many years to come. ••• December activities at Waldorf School A doll-making workshop will be held tomorrow from 9 a.m.until 3p.m. at the Waldorf School of Cape Cod, located in Bourne.
