Sheriff keeps it clean for Shining Sea Bikeway
Joe Doud pauses on the path as an inmate works at cleaning filth off the wall.
As Cape Cod citizens and dignitaries gather on July 2 for the Shining Sea Bikeway extension dedication ceremonies in Falmouth, it won't be evident what the Sheriff's department has been doing to prepare for the celebration. And that's the way Sheriff Jim Cummings wants it.
Political speeches at the event notwithstanding, Cummings is making sure attendees have a "clean" forum by cleaning up graffiti and other offensive or distracting sights.
Joe Doud, 74, an East Falmouth resident and frequent user of the town's Shining Sea Bikeway, pauses for a moment (above) near the conclusion of his three-mile walk. Doud strolls the popular trail three or four times a week.
Behind him a Barnstable County inmate, assigned to a supervised labor crew and dispatched by Cummings, is hard at work removing graffiti that was scrawled on a bikeway wall. Unremoved, the graffiti would have surely put a damper on the upcoming dedication ceremonies.
