Having barely recovered
from Thanksgiving, we now
go head first into Christmas
andthe holidays.Thereisalot
going on thistime of year and
town council isno exception.
But I am not complaining!
The Barnstable Village
Stroll is scheduled for
Wednesday,Dec. 6, from 6 to
8p.m. Againthisyear Debbie
West and her band of Civic
Association stalwarts have
spearheaded the stroll. This
event would not happen it
was not for these volunteers
and the generous merchants
along 6A. When you partake
of the chiliandthe oysters,be
sureto thankthevendors and
Santa's helpers. I am looking
forward to servingup the hot
dogs withthe likesof Senator
O'Leary and Assistant Town
Manger Paul Niedzwiecki,
although I am told we might
have to order extra-akind of
one for you, one for me situ-
ation. Ornaments depicting
the Barnstable Courthouse
created by Kevin Nolan the
Barnstable Potter to benefit
the stroll are on sale while
they last.
Mark your calendar this
weekend for various festive
Villageevents-theBarnstable
Historic Society is having its
Annual Boutique Sale Dec. 2
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and De-
cember 3, 4 and 5 from noon
to 4 p.m, at the Daniel Davis
House, 3074 Main St. Head
across the street on Satur-
day and enjoy the St. Mary's
Church Holly Fair 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. or down the street to the
Unitarian Church. Both are
offering deliciouslunches and
lots of tempting holiday gifts
and greens.
Speaking of the Unitarian
Church, I attended a Com-
munity Preservation Work-
shopthisweek.Ilearned that
church and state is indeed
not an issue when it comes
to the appropriation of pub-
lic funds to churches for the
purpose of historic preserva-
tion. Churches were clearly
contemplated as recipients
of these funds. Because the
Act is relatively new, there
is no case law on point yet.
There is however a plethora
of case law on government
historicgrantstochurches,all
distinguishingappropriations
for bricks and mortar from
funds for Bibles and teaching
materials -the former found
to be constitutional.
Also made clear to me is
the prohibition of Commu-
nity funds as a line item in a
municipal budget. While the
Act wasspecifically amended
in 2002 to include munici-
pal buildings in the mix, I
believe the voters expect a
distribution of funds based
on historic value and need
to include both public and
private buildings.The Editor
of this paper argues forcibly
against using the funds for
deferred maintenance and I
agree, adding that that ap-
pliestomunicipalbuildingsas
well.Allapplicants should be
considered objectively using
criteria that the Community
Preservation Committee and
Historic Commissionhave al-
ready created. Those criteria
include age (more than 75

ARTIST AND FRIEND -Judith Barnet at the Fresh Paint Gallery with pet poodle Sadie and
paintings.
CANVASING HER MEMORIES -A pastel of the
former Barnet family home, now the Daniel
Davis House of the Barnstable Historical
Society, by Judith Barnet.
Judith Barnet has been a driving force
for affordable familyhousinginBarnstable
for decades but is now quietly looking for
a suitable place of her own in the town she
served for so many years.
And thereby hangs a tale:
It beginsin Chicagowhere she wasborn,
toWellesleyCollegeinMassachusettswhere
sheearnedherbachelor'sdegree,continues
in Arizona where she met her husband to
be, then to Barnstable Village where for
37years she and her family lived in what is
now the Daniel Davis House, home of the
Barnstable Historical Society; and finally
to an ancient building in Yarmouthport
just over the town line where the fruits of
her latest pursuit dwell.
Barnet became the Grandma Moses of
Barnstable by taking up painting 12 years
agowhenshewas65.Energetic andincisive
at 77-sheand her poodle spend timefloat-
ing in a kayak while she paints waterfront
scenes -Barnet is perhaps best defined by
asteadfast interest in providing affordable
housing for Cape families.
That avocation emerged during a busy
life raising a family, pursuing masters
and doctorate degrees, teaching at the
community college and serving on the
Barnstable Housing Authority board for
20 years.During that time, family housing
expanded, "particularly when (Michael)
Dukakiswas governor,"she said this week
duringaninterviewatthe cooperativeFresh
Paint Gallery, at 143 Main St. (Route 6A),
Yarmouthport,that she shareswithseveral
other artists.
When her husband Bob died four years
ago,the 10-roomfamilyhomethathad been
"the cornerstone of our livesinBarnstable"
was more than she needed.
"I had to sell the house," she said, "but
I knew the Barnstable Historical Society
people just loved it but at the time didn't
have funds to buy it. SoI got a brainchild,"
she continued as the poodle sat on her lap
growling delicately,asalady should, at the
noise upstairs from the gallery. "I said I
would lease it to the society for ayear.Well,
a year became a year and a half and then
twoyears but at that point the society had
found a benefactor to buy it."
Itwasabetter movefor the society-after
all,thehousewasbuiltin 1739,makingit 267
yearsold -than itwasfor Barnet,whofound
herself trying to downsize in a village with
little to offer by way of condo options.
After 37 years in Barnstable Village, she
had to crossthe border intoYarmouthport
andthe King'sWaydevelopment there but,
as TonyBennett might liltingly express it,
she left her heart in Barnstable.
It wasinBarnstable,after all,that Barnet
becamepart of aplot byhousing advocates
to "take control of the housing authority
board" and push ahead withmore housmg
for families."Westarted with Joe Daluz,the
building inspector. Did you know him? He
won the first seat, then in the next election
we needed one more seat for a majority,so
I ran and we won control."
The new board wanted to be pro-active
and move away from what it saw asnarrow
emphasis on housing for the elderly at the
expense of families. "We started out with
what you might call 'staggered housing'
where we talked to landlords to provide
housing units families could afford ." That
approach, she said, was a model for the
current and successful Section 8 subsidy
program.
During 20 years on the housing au-
thority, Barnet was raising her children,
David, Margot and Peter, all adults now;
was a public school substitute teacher,
then an instructor in French at Cape Cod
Community College, getting a master's
degree at Brown University,then teaching
English at the college and finally, in 1993,
landing a doctorate in public policy from
Northeastern. In all she logged 17years at
the college.
The family was much in evidence in vil-
lage and town affairs. "My husband was
much more involved than I was then," she
