The Barnstable Bulletin
A MONTHLY
TOWN OF BARNSTABLE
NEWSLETTER
July 2014
From the Town Manager
Dear Reader:
As the Town of Barnstable celebrates its 375th Anniversary, the July 4th holiday provides
a wonderful opportunity for all of us to remember how fortunate we are to live in
America. We celebrate in each of our seven villages in unique and special ways
thanks to contributions of hundreds of dedicated volunteers. I thank the civic, village
and business associations and each one of you who help make the July 4th holiday so
special.
I hope that your busy schedule will allow you and your
family to enjoy the myriad of events this month from our
annual Fireworks Display to the many Arts and Cultural
events happening in Barnstable. This issue of the Barnstable
Bulletin includes those events that will help you celebrate
America’s independence. You may also view the information on-line at www.town.barnstable.ma.us.
A commemorative book in honor of Barnstable’s 375th
Anniversary will be available as of July 1st. Edited and
published by Nancy Viall Shoemaker, the book includes
histories of all Seven Villages of Barnstable, updates on the
last 25 years and walking tours of each village. We feel this
will be a wonderful keepsake celebrating our past and
present. Be sure to look out for the 375
Sculpture that is moving throughout the
Seven Villages of the Town of Barnstable
as we celebrate our 375th Anniversary.
If you would like more information on the
375th celebrations, please visit
www.barnstable375.com.
Wishing you and your family a Happy and
Safe July 4th Holiday,
Tom Lynch

JULY GEMS FROM THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE...
Congratulations to this year’s winner of the Barnstable’s Best Dog
contest! The winning pooch is Lily, a four year old Yorkie; please
take a look at Lily on the town website www.town.barnstable.ma.us
Don’t forget to put those new tags on your dog. All dogs need their
new tags on as of July 1. If you have not purchased a new dog license – come on down to the Town Clerk’s office, or send your request and check by mail. Remember, beginning August 1, 2014, a
new license will cost you a late fee of $5.00 on top of the cost of
your license. So save your money and take care of this now!
We are gearing up for the fall elections, because it is never too early to think about elections.
The State Primary Election is scheduled for September 9, 2014.
If you are a registered voter, hopefully you filled out your census this year because that form is
a voter confirmation certificate as well. By the Federal law you must confirm yearly that you
are still at your residence and you are still qualified to vote from that address.
That is one of the major reasons we send out the census/voter confirmation form. If you don’t
return your census – it is assumed by our Central Voter Registry system that you are not there.
Therefore, you can become inactivated. That means when you go to vote in September and/
or November you may have to show current ID and fill out a form to prove you still live at that
address (driver’s licenses are sufficient for the ID portion).
If you want to confirm your residency/voter status you can stop by our office or call 508-8624044.
If you have moved, even within the town of Barnstable, you need to inform the Town Clerk’s
office so we can update your voter information. Remember every vote does count, and we
want to count your vote.
Stop by the Town Clerk’s office to see and perhaps purchase a few of the 375th celebration
items we have for sale!!!
Have a great summer – and hope to see you at the many events for the 375th Celebration.

Marshal of the parade, the Town of Barnstable itself will play that role, welcoming parade
goers and visitors downtown all day, with extra floats and bands during and after the parade.

Cape Cod African Dance & Drum will all perform in this year’s march down Main Street.

Recycling and Transfer Station Solar Project
For those of you that have been to the Recycling and Transfer Station recently, you may
have noticed some changes on top of the old capped landfill. Through a project with the
Cape & Vineyard Electric Cooperative (CVEC), a 4.17 megawatts solar project has been
installed. It is comprised of 14,275 solar panels arrayed over some 17 acres. The figures
below give a “bird’s eye view” of the completed installation.
CVEC is a non-profit membership cooperative created in 2007 to assist towns with the development of renewable energy projects in Barnstable and Duke Counties. The Town
leased a portion of the capped landfill to CVEC for 20 years. CVEC, in turn, contracted
with a developer to finance, build, own, and operate the new solar facility. Under a Power Purchase Agreement, the town will pay a fixed price of 7.29 cents per kWh of solar energy generated, and receive net metering credits from NStar (currently valued at 14.6 cents
per kWh). The town’s monthly revenue will be the difference between the net metering
credits and the fixed price of power for each kWh of electricity generated by the solar array. It has been estimated that the first year energy cost savings for the Town will be approximately $380,000, and the amount of annual savings could increase each year depending on the cost to purchase electricity from the utility. If the cost of NStar’s electricity
goes up, then the savings to the town will increase. The total potential savings over the 20year term of the contract has been estimated to be in excess of $5 million.
After the 20-year period the Town will have the option to extend the agreement, have the
Developer remove the system from the capped landfill, or the Town may purchase the system at fair market value. So you can see there is very little downside.
Please feel free to be in touch with us if you have any questions or concerns about your
public infrastructure. Our phone number is (508) 790-6400.
June was Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month
Myasthenia gravis (pronounced My-as-theen-ee-a Grav-us) comes from the Greek and Latin
words meaning "grave muscular weakness." The most common form of MG is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by fluctuating weakness of the voluntary
muscle groups. There is no known cure for MG, but there are effective treatments that allow
many-but not all-people with MG to lead full lives. Although the treatments will not cure MG,
patients may have significant improvement in their muscle strength. For more information:
http://www.myasthenia.org/ (This information from an employee arrived in our inbox on June
3rd and we thought we would share it with you now.)

RSVP-$5
This play tells the inspirational story of a remarkable and singular American. The only four-term
President and the only President unable to walk without assistance, Franklin Roosevelt faced
some extraordinary challenges – both as President and in his personal life – with great courage,
vision, and perseverance. “Uncle Rosy’s White House” recounts his story with clarity, humor and
compassion. The play reflects on FDR’s privileged youth, old classmates who felt he “betrayed
his class” by helping the poor and destitute, and the impact of polio on his personality and
presidency. FDR speaks to the audience, confiding anecdotes and personal opinions never
before dramatized. At other times, FDR converses candidly with unseen colleagues such as
Louie Howe and Winston Churchill. At other moments, FDR is at faux microphones, delivering
excerpts of inaugural addresses, fire-side chats, and key speeches. FDR was devoted to the
development of Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation.

HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS
According to the Cape Cod Emergency Preparedness Handbook: “Of all the natural
disasters that might affect Cape Cod, hurricanes have the potential to cause the most
property damage and loss of life if adequate planning and preparation is not
undertaken.”
There is much you can do to better prepare yourself and your loved ones in the
event we experience a significant weather emergency. In general, it is recommended that you do the following at the onset of Hurricane Season (officially started June
1st) here on Cape Cod:
1. Make a disaster plan for yourself, your family and your pets. Be sure you review it
carefully with all members of your family.
2. Compile a Disaster Survival Kit.
3. Familiarize yourself with the flood risk in your area, as well as the location of the
nearest emergency shelter.
4. Be prepared, ready and willing to follow the explicit directions of emergency
preparedness.
