STATE OF THE TOWN ADDRESS
April 30, 2009
Fellow Citizens:
President Chirigotis, I thank you for your kind comments. To Rabbi Freelund, I welcome you and thank you for your
inspiration. Your words nourish our soul. To our introductory singers, I thank you and to our High School students, what an
incredible performance. Plato said "where there is youth, there is hope". What a fine example of that this evening.
Town Councilors, School Committee and Housing Authority Members, Madam Town Clerk and Town Collector, fellow
Town employees, distinguished members of our Legislative Delegation, County and Fire District Officials, ladies and
gentlemen:
The state of our.community reminds me of the opening of A Tale of
_ Two Cities,where"it was the best of times. It was the worst of times". We
live in a time filled with great contradictions and extremes, from good to
bad. Ladies and gentlemen, the challenges we face today are not new. Our
regional economic downturn is not our first, nor will it be our last. With

Adversity. We have seen it and lived it all before. In the 1780's when
most Barnstable residents couldn't even.pay their taxes they were so poor,
we had to ask for forgiveness from the State.We've lived through the great
depression, through world wars, through 9/11 and through inevitable
economic cycles. Barnstable residents have enjoyed the good times and
sacrificed through the bad.
I am not here tonight,to.paint a rosy picture. This economic down-
turn is global in nature, runs deep in our community, is volatile and is .
• likely to rebound slowly. Like almost every other community in this
country, we are facing challenges not seen in some time.
But rest assured, I am not here to complain about our challenges. I
" am here to talk about our future.Not where we are,but where we're going.
Not dwelling on the challenges we face, but contemplating the possibili-
ties of our time. Not pointing fingers at Washington or Boston, but turn-
ing within for the answers we need. Change is the law of life. Those who
look only to the past or present are very likely to miss the future of
I' Barnstable.We are a strong and resilient community that will get through
this period of-adversity and end up stronger for it. We continue to be a
community of strong minded and creative citizens. Citizens who, in their
own lives, know something about adversity. Citizens who refuse to wallow
in the challenges dealt to them, but insist in fighting for a brighter future
' for their families and for their community. We will meet a few of our

They have met them head on and are shining examples of what is good
and decent about Barnstable. Individuals who know that things do not
just happen—things are made to happen. Their strength, their successes,

will hear their stories. And in so doing, hear all the testimony we need to

transport seniors to medical and other important appointments.
• Our outreach staff saved Barnstable seniors $841,670 through assistance with
Medicare, fuel assistance, tax abatements, food stamps and other-programs.

VETERAN'S SERVICES
During this year from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009 the Veteran's
Services Department was extremely busy.
b The number of veterans seeking some sort of help or assistance in obtaining
i their benefits increased by 38% over the previous year.
Reviewing the reasons for such an increase, brought to our attention, that
due to the economy,lost jobs,health insurance and prescription coverage,numer-
ous veterans have sought help and coverage with this department and the VA.
We help veterans obtain benefits under two programs,one being with the VA
and one being under the town's Chapter 115 Program through Veteran's
Services.
Under the VA program we assisted over 6,336 veterans this year and helped
them obtain over$6 million in financial assistance from the Federal Government.
We also assisted 1,325 veterans in the enrollment of the VA Health Care System
so that they can get their prescriptions from the VA for a reduced rate and be seen.
medically by specialists within the VA Healthcare system.
Under the Chapter 115 program the Town of Barnstable spent over$300,000
directly to needy veterans who required our help.The number of veterans seeking
this help was 540 and they received help in such areas as ordinary living, heat,
medical, hospitalization, doctor, medication, dental and other related medical
costs.
Our goal is to assist all our veterans in obtaining any and all the benefits they
might be eligible for and to get those benefits to the veteran as quickly as possi-
ble.
We encourage all veterans who might be seeking some assistance for veterans
benefits to contact our office immediately so we can get the paperwork in place.

Fiscal Year 2009 proved emblematic of the broad range
of complex legal matters typically addressed by this office
by way of advocacy, legislative drafting and negotiations.
On the advocacy front, the Town, on behalf of the
Hyannis Water Division, was awarded a 3.4 million dollar
judgment as a partial settlement of a nationwide class-
action lawsuit, against some of the nation's largest oil com-
panies stemming from the use of gasoline additive Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether(MTBE). The settlement also includesLE
treatment of the water supply in the event that it becomes
contaminated with MTBE in the future. I
In terms of defensive litigation, the department suc-
cessfully defended the Town's overcrowding ordinance,

BARNSTABLE HISTORICAL COMMISSION
The purpose of the Barnstable Historical Commission is to
preserve, protect and develop the historical and archeological
assets of the Town and to make recommendations regarding
these interests to the Town Council and the Massachusetts
Historical Commission. The Barnstable Historical Commission
may hold public hearings on endangered properties that are '
deemed preferably preserved. .y A
We continue to promote and encourage preservation of our
unique and special properties as a way to promote tourism and
education. Rehabilitation and reuse of properties is preferable
to demolition. Upkeep of our valuable town properties is
another priority of the Historical Commission. , .
The Barnstable Historical Commission sent 31 new
Inventories of Historic Buildings, which were researched by
Holly Hobart and Dr. James Gould, to the Massachusetts
Historical Commission.
There have been 12 formal demolition applications pre-
sented before the Commission. Of these, 9 were approved, 2 r
were denied and 1 was referred to the Cape Cod Commission
and later rescinded. In addition, the Commission held 13 infor-

This year the committee primarily focused on disburse-

Trust was established in 1953. The original trust document
was the Will of Mary Lewis Kirkman. It provided that fund
income be used for the maintenance and beautification of
the Mosswood portion of the Cotuit Cemetery. In 1960, a
cy pres petition was filed in Barnstable Probate Court ask-
ing the Court to establish a more extensive hierarchy of
purpose for trust income. The Court ordered that surplus
income from the trust could be used in the following order
of preference:
1
1. Maintenance, beautification, and improvement of
the entire Cotuit Cemetery. «'
2. Enlargement of the Cotuit Cemetery.
3. Maintenance, beautification, and improvement of
