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.

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.

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.

STANDING TOGETHER FOR JUSTICE - Delores and Joseph DaLuz share an
award at a meeting in the 1970s. 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.

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.
