CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 The Barnstable Planning Board closed its hearing on the AHOD, with plans to review comments gathered at that meeting and the joint public hearing with the town council at asubcommittee meeting the following day. It' s no mystery where the planning board will end up on the matter. Board members made clear at the council hearing and at Monday 's meeting that they strongly support the proposal and cannot understand the resistance coming from the council. "I think we 're looking at a stubborn situation here, and it's too bad it's come down to this, a push-pull," board member David Munsell said. Arevisedproposal wasdiscussed with town councilors, but never brought back for a vote. First hundred years of the Patriot headed for searchable database With microfilm copies of The Barnstable Patriot dating back to the newspaper 'sfounding in 1830, the Sturgis Library welcomes visi- tors from all over who are tracking genealogical, shipping or other information from the 19lh and 20th centuries. In 2007, it will no longer be necessary to travel down the Old King's Highway to Barnstable village and switch on the playback machine.Thanks to afederal grant administered by the state Board of LibraryCommissioners and the stateAdvisoryCouncilonLibraries, every page from the first century of the Patriot will be digitized and available instantly from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. Summer's gone, but high gas prices aren't It used to be that smart Cape travelers would know to avoid the gas stations immediately off the Sagamore rotary because they commanded highway prices. Now prices at those same stations are worthlining up for when compared to the stubbornly high prices across Cape Cod and especially in Hyannis. "You know, I really don't know whythey'rehangingaroundhigher," said Art Kinsman, AAA's director of government affairs for Southern New England. "In general, prices could be a lot lower." So what gives? Thebest explanation spokesmen for AAA ofSouthern New England could offer was a combination of retailers holding prices higher to maximizeprofits and, with greater emphasis,the zone pricingutilized by gas distributors. "Gas stationsdon't makemoney whenpricesgoup,"AAAspokesman John Paulsaid, "Theymakemoney when prices go down." Council rejects nixing Yarmouthairport rep Robert Howard's hope became a reality, as the Barnstable Town Council rejected a resolve asking that the role of Yarmouth' s representative on the Barnstable Municipal Airport Commission be decreased. Howard is the Yarmouth representative and at the August BMAC meeting he said he'd be unable to attend the September meeting but expressed his hope thatwhenhereturned thefollowing month he'd still have a seat at the table. The resolve was sponsored by Hyannis Councilor Jim Munafo, who does not believe the current practice of allowing a resident of another town to participate as a member of the commission, in all activities save voting,isinlinewith the town's administrative code. First Baptist Church considers future of its stained glass windows They aren't the kind of intricate, highly-decorated stained glass windows you'd find in Washing- ton'sNational Cathedral. They're simple in design, straightforward in their messages. You don't need an art critic to figure them out. Come to think of it, the eight stained glass windows of First Baptist Church inHyannisare alot like two of its departed and deeply missed members, Eugenia Fortes and Ruth Rusher. If those community activistshad passed on in the 1890s, someone might have suggested raising memorial windows for them. But it was 2006, and the question for the church now is how to preserve not just the memories but also the crumbling glass memorials for Dr.J. Wells McGregor, who died in service,and someimportant names - Bearse, Crocker and others - in the church's history. The church was looking for a source of money to make the repairs, including possibly town Community Preservation funds. Barros bests Bennett for Senate The X factor of state Senate candidate Doug Bennett held supporters of his opponent in the Republican primary,Ric Barros,in suspense as the votes rolled in. Would Bennett' s perpetual presence in the Hyannis airport rotary since November 2005 , complete with his handmade and painted signs, result in an upset? When partial returns showed the Nantucket carpenter leading the Centerville lawyer in some Barnstable precincts, brows were furrowed. But Ban-osalreadyhad Bennett's island home in his pocket , by an unofficial count of 370 to 100, and soon other towns fell into his column. Shortly before 10 p.m., Barros declared victory. "This race was never about the anti-Bennett vote,"he said. "It was about who's the best candidate to make the fight to get elected." Barros rounded immediately on Democratic incumbent Rob O'Leary, blasting him for "ineptitude" in voting to remove CONTINUED ON PAGE 15 S "E P T E M B ' E | R 2.
