Manatee at Sesuit Harbor draws crowd
600 gawkers almost sink Dennis dock
The docks sagged at Sesuit Harbor this morning in Dennis as crowds scrambled to catch what might be their final glimpse of an intrepid ocean explorer visiting the shores of Cape Cod. Wildlife groups are orchestrating a rescue this weekend for the Florida manatee, affectionately known as "Dennis," that has strayed hundreds of miles from its native habitat.
About 600 people came to gawk and snap photos of the lumbering sea cow Thursday. By 10 a.m. today, nearly 150 eager onlookers had gathered, sporting baseball caps and bermuda shorts, toting cameras and fanny packs. One woman pushed a stroller with a toddler in it out onto a wobbly finger dock and peered into the water.

Voter Registration Particularly Heavy
With the deadline for registering to vote in the presidential election coming up on Wednesday, the Falmouth Town Clerk's office has been especially busy.
Falmouth Town Clerk Michael C. Palmer said he has processed 800 new voter applications for the coming election. In addition to new voters, many are asking for absentee ballots.
Mr. Palmer said he is expecting the ballots to arrive by mid-week next week, since they were due to be shipped on Tuesday.
"There are a tremendous number of people registering for absentee ballots," Mr. Palmer said. Once the ballots arrive, Mr. Palmer said he will set up a booth outside the town clerk's office where people can fill out an application for an absentee ballot and either vote later and mail in the ballot before election day, or vote right away at the booth.
Mr. Palmer said he is seeing younger people registering to vote as well as people of all ages who have not voted before coming into the clerk's office to register... Enterprise.
