School officials in the town of Rochester, NH, are debating the future of Spaulding High School's Native American mascot. Superintendent Mike Hopkins is worried that the "Red Raider" is politically incor- rect and might become a civil rights issue in the future. The school board, however, is divided on whether to continue usingthe symbol-the profileofanAmericanIndianman'sface-and the nickname on uniforms and apparel. Apparently NH tribes are discussing the matter. Some school board members are hoping to hear from them regarding their opinions of the mascot and name. Complaints about the use of the Red Raider have cropped up inthe past,includ- ing in April of 2006 when an alumnus of the school requested a change,statingthat the mascot is "racist." A publicforumto discussthe issueisbeing looked at by the school board.

"We have just as many risks as there are in other sports," said Demko. Almost all of those on the team possess tum- bling skills and several are gymnasts. Nearly everyone on the squad is capable of turning an impressive back- flip or back handspring, including the sole man on the team, Josh Capra. While the team is cer- tainly confident in their strength and agility, they feel it is their bond that helps them achieve success. "Everybody gets along so well," said Andrea Camelio. "We're not your typical cheerleaders." Demko echoed her senti- ments as she continued , "This season we were much closer. We all have our groups that we hang out with, but we hang out with each other, too." Indeed , the team enjoyed several Saturday night spaghetti suppers while preparing for their various championships and Friday night football halftone shows. "We love halftime," said Camelio. "All our friends are there." Last Saturday's game marked the end of high school cheerleading for the seniors, and the end of the season for the rest of the team. While some, like Chel- sie Sherbertes, plan to con- tinue cheerleading in college, others have mixed emotions. "I'm not sure," said Demko. "I don't think I am ever going to find the same thing I found here." Another Hyannis area... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 ThanksgivingDay-drug deals going on inthe driveway of the store. "If you're competent at it, the deal is done in 30 seconds - too late to call the police,"she said. Cullum said she has alsonoticed an uptick in general disregard for the law in the area. About a dozen neighbors met to plan strategy Tuesday night with Klimm, interim Police Chief Paul MacDonald, Deputy Chief Craig Tamash, Town Councilor Harold Tobey, police Sgt. Mark Mellyn and Alan Goddard , representing the Hyannis Civic Associa- tion. The police are responding to the Sea Street initiative with gusto, said Tobey, who initiated the police reaction to the Captain'sQuarters plight last month after houses were shot at and a woman's face was disfigured by arazor-type instrument. Shortly after those inci- dents , former Chief John Finnegan stepped down, 18 months before his contract was to end. MacDonald was named interim chief the next day. MacDonald saidWednesday a uniformed police team was to begin pollingresidents yes- terday along Sea Street and other side streets by knock- ing on doors and handing out pamphlets. "We want to find out what the neighborhood's percep- tion of problems is," he said. "The police presence won't be as intense as it was on Hiramar Road. That was something we did on our own. This is different.Unlike Fresh Holes (Road), we've been in- vited and people will talk to us. We should be more suc- cessful there. We're literally going to walk every street in the neighborhood." He said some people believe there is drug activity while others see problems with school-bus stops and other quality of life issues. MacDonald said the police want to narrow the problem areas and then concentrate a police presence there to stabilize the neighborhood. He said the rolling command post would also be stationed in the Sea Street area. "Iwasn't expecting allthis," a grateful Cullum said on Wednesday of the town and police response to the neigh- borhood' s effort to assure the problems of the Captain's Quarters neighborhood do not transfer to Sea Street. There is historical prece- dence for concern about the Sea Street area, which some years ago had areputation for housing trouble , particularly with college-aged summer workers living in gang rent- als. The town responded then by forming BIRST, a team of police and housing inspectors who clamped down as a team onlandlords rentingsub-stan- dard housing to large groups of student-workers. It was a successful under- taking for the area that was followed by housing sales to individuals who upgraded property and brought a sta- bilizing family-type presence to the area. A loose association was formed in the Sea Street quarter several years ago to combat a perceived rise in drug-related activity, but intramural squabbling over pet peeves and issues led to its termination.
