Town, state talk about re-purposing grant money By David Still II dstill@barnstablepatriot com By next week , the Town of Barnstable could know if it can re-purpose a 2009 grant to dredge Barnstable Inner Harbor. The initial grant to repair the bulk- hea \after the 2008 collapse of a portion was designed to cover 75 percent of the project 's total cost, up to $3.5 mil- f lion. The total project came in at $2.3 million , which left about $1.6 million in the state grant and about $400,000 in town appropriations for the project.

That, according to an opinion from the town attorney's office, is all that the town's privately-owned historic resources can expect from the orchard of Community Preservation Act funds.

Chahey news@barnstablepatriot.com G stervilleopens the doors to its new library later this month. Celebrations will last into the summer. Right now, artist Lance Walker of Dennis is finishing the mural that will welcome patrons with a compass rose whose center is the village and its treasure-trove of books. "Lance keeps adding" to the work, said Laurie Young, a trustee of the library whose family is sponsoring the mural in memory of their mother, Janel Kisker Kesten. Young remembered her mother as "an avid reader" who "made sure all her childre" had library cards." An unveiling is scheduled for March 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. The sug- gested donation of $50 per person includes cocktails and hors d'oeuvres; the unveiling is to take place at 6 and will feature a talk by the artist. "We're happy with the quality of his work," said Young, who is also on the capital campaign committee, which plans to raffle a giclee print of the mural as part of the ceremony. Tickets for the unveiling, Young said, will be available at the door or at the library's website: osterville- freelibrary.org The next day, Saturday, March 31, at 10 a.m., a ribbon be cut and the doors will part for the Grand Open- ing of the new library building that replaces a facility in a former store with a leaky roof. Winners of a raffle get to be the first person to enter the library or to check out the first book. Again, the website offers details on securing tickets ($5). Young said that children will cut the ribbon at a separate ceremony for their room. She said that the library will offer "bookmarks to tell you where everything is." More events, geared to welcome summer resident and visitors, are scheduled for June 29, including an auction that has become a summer tradition at the library.

Lightingthe lamp of knowledge Opinions differ on local ornational process By David Still II dstill@barnstablepatriot.com The Barnstable Town Council was expected to vote this week on the recommendation from its manager search subcommittee to begin that process with an internal search. An active public comment session with supporters of an internal search and those calling for casting a wider net was also expected. The council subcommittee, chaired by Precinct 6 Councilor Janet Joakim, met twice in February before voting 4 to 1 in support of beginning with an internal search. Letters to the Editor in this and other papers are mixed on the subject. ' Last week'sPatriotsaw an equal num- ber of letters calling for local candidate and a national search (three each). In her letter published Feb. 24, Felicia Penn of Hyannis called on residents to show up at this week's town council meeting to call for a national search. "We, the voters of the Town of Barnstable, deserve the best and bright- est to manage our town. Please plan to attend the meeting on March 1. If you cannot attend, please make the ef- fort to either call or e-mail your town councilor to express your opinion. Your participation is critical to the town's future," Penn wrote. She has been an appointed member of the planning board since 2003. In calling for a limited search inside the town, Carol Lyall of Cotuit wrote, "We have plenty of trained talent in our town. Let's let the dust settle and let the new council continue to move ahead without unnecessary upheaval." This week, the Barnstable Coalition for Fair Government issued a call to an undisclosed list of recipients support- ing an internal search. The Coalition played a significant role in the 2011 town council elections that saw three anti-Klimm incumbents swept from office. The Coalition sought to rally its members to counter what it considers an organized effort seeking a national search.

This image is in a scrapbook of clippings at Zion Union Heritage Museum in Hyannis. Dolores DaLuz remembers the 1950s on Cape Cod as a "tumultuous time." She and her husband Jo- seph DaLuz had just moved to Hyannis. "There were no black people on Main Street or black teachers in the schools and the churches and housing were segregated," she said. Nor were local businesses hir- ing people of color. The couple took part in a sit-in in front of Woolworth's sponsored by the NAACP to encourage fair hiring practices. "I didn't know I was making history at the time," Mrs. DaLuz said. Progress has been made since those long ago days. But civil rights injustices still exist on Cape Cod. "It is here and it is real," Mr. DaLuz said. Civil riehts advocates for * more than 50 years, Dolores and Joseph DaLuz were among four Cape Codders honored by the Church Women United of Cape Cod at its 2012 Human Rights Brunch on Feb. 2 at Our Lady of Victory Parish Hall in Centerville. The two other hon- orees were Brenda B. Swain, ex- ecutive director of the Falmouth Service Center, and Ilene Bendas, minister of children and families at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Chatham. Mr. and Mrs. DaLuz were chosen for their dedication to human rights. "These are two giants from Barnstable," said Janet Daly, co-chair of the human rights celebration whose theme was "Sights and Sounds of Harmony: Embracing Our Oneness." "I've known them for over 40 years," said former town council- or Harold Tobey, who introduced the couple during the awards cer- emony. "Together they have made Cape Cod a better place to live." Mr. and Mrs. DaLuz met in 1949 while attending Delaware State University. Married for 59 years, they have six children, 10 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Tobey enumerated their numerous individual and joint accomplishments over the years: % "The Bible says God always sends somebody when people need uplifting," he said. "Joe and Dolores heard the word and came to serve." Both are founders of the Zion Union Heritage Museum in Hyannis, which celebrates the African-American and Cape Verdean history as well as other ethnic and demographic diversity in the Town of Barnstable. Mrs. DaLuz serves on the museum board . In 2008 they received the Olive Branch Award from the Cape Cod's Chapter of the NAACP in recognition of their many contributions to the cause of social justice and human rights in the community.
