No Bob, in fact if you look it up, you'll see Harwich, for example, has the same number of Level 3 Sex Offenders in their town.
The Yarmouth PD just does an excellent job of disseminating information, thereby informing the public.
Other towns should follow Yarmouth's example and keep all Cape residents well-informed.

I've been called for jury duty three times.
Fisrt time: Wasted a whole day in Worcester. Towards the end of the day we were all lined up, given numbers, then sent to lunch. When we came back from lunch we were lined up again and told we could go home.
Second time was in Barnstable. Two days server on a bowling trial. Yes bowling.
Third time was also in Barnstable. Brought it, went through the whole thing and the person next to me was the last juror chosen.

In response to: McCowen wants new trial - claims real murderer was Frazier
Okay, I honestly think Frazier was involved and should go down for it as well.
But McCowen is just as guilty and is right where he should be.
Again, in MA, being part of the crime makes you just as guilty as in get-away driver gets the same time as the bank robber. And McCowen admitted to "putting the boots" to her.
That's guilty, in my book. Who's to say that had he not "put the boots" to her, she could have gotten away from those two scum bags? A forensic pathologist can determine a lot, but "putting the boots" to her definitely compromised her physical being.
Maybe Jeremy and Chris can share a cell. Wouldn't that be sweet?

I saw the movie "Seven" in the theater with my brother. In the scene where the cop showed the list of books the serial killer had taken out of the library (his methods were not on the up and up, the cop that is), my brother turned to me and said, "you've read all of those and have most of them at home." I was a medieval history major.

Fair enough, Solon. 68?
As for the entertainment, I'm not entirely sure how frequent it is. If we eat at Oliver's it is usually a Monday or Wednesday. But I do remember the lounge lizard because I almost punched him out. When I say I don't like being touched, I mean it.
As for the Yarmouth House, I've only had dinner there once--it was good. The Old Yarmouth Inn on Route 6A is very good, the tavern is cool. They have wonderful pizza and a killer Gorgonzola steak salad. Center Stage Cafe by the museum in Dennis is consistently good as well.
One year-round place I can't warm up to is the Scargo Cafe. For me, there is always something a little off. It's got the prices of a fancy restaurant, but the food just doesn't match. Maybe somebody knows of some "can't miss" dish I should be trying...

We live quite close to Oliver's so it's a fall-back when you just don't feel like cooking. We never eat in the dining room because I think there is a minimum age of about 76.
The bar is comfortable (bar seating and several tables). The bartenders are quite nice and attentive and they do bring in other servers to help out if it gets busy.
The menu is okay. You have to know what is good. Some entrees are a little odd, but you can't go wrong with a sandwich, burger and some of the chicken entrees.
But the best thing there, hands down is the soup. It is ALWAYS very good, no matter what kind. I swear they have their own soup Nazi in the back.
Monday-Thursday is pretty quiet (but not dead, there are always folks in there), but beware, Friday and Saturday nights they often have cheezy lounge singers in there "entertaining". Kind of like Captain and Tenille without Tenille.

In response to: Ant Attack!!
I don't like bugs of any kind and I especially don't like ants. They give me the wiggins. And flying ants? Hell to the no.
If ants aren't enough for you, it's time for the 17 year reappearance of the cicadas who will soon be swarming the Midwest. Let's hope they stay away from the Cape.
I remember being a little kid living at Otis when my dad was stationed there and not being able to venture into the backyard without a tennis racquet because of those creepy little buggers.
Good luck fighting the good fight, Jack.

Bullying can be a lot more subtle than the big jerky kid beating lunch money out of a computer geek. Middle schools are rife with bullies in the form of cliques. It's a pack mentality. I was speaking with an 8th grader this weekend about this very thing. She's not a bully would never be, could never be in the traditional sense. But what her clique says goes and their actions often alienate specific people--another form of bullying which can also carry terrible consequences.

Enough with this racism nonsense. I didn't see color through this whole trial, just evidence and facts. I saw juror #9 interviewed on the news last night. He was the African American juror and he said it had nothing to do with race. It had to do with evidence and the decision to find McCowen guilty or not guilty of the crimes he was charged with.
I'm tired of ultra liberals who see problems where there may actually not be one.
Were some of the details in this trial a bit "murky"? Yes, but in the end, I think justice was done and the jurors in the Worthington murder/rape trial should be commended.

In response to: Mr. Mulvey's girlfriend
I caught Mulvey and Frazier both testifying, and if I was sitting on that jury, the testimony/alibi of neither would be good enough for me. Just one dirt bag defending another. Just the fact that Frazier's alibi rests on Mulvey who first lied to the police then decided to come clean. It's tough to keep track of with all the drug deals, snitching and general seedy behavior. I nominate Frazier as the new Homeschooling Poster Boy.
Two things, I thought Mulvey said his father's girlfriend was definitely not there that night. Maybe I didn't hear him correctly.
And as for Frazier, he said they went back to Mulvey's house and were going to call up some "females". First off, that doesn't sound TOO rehearsed and second, did they actually call up the "females"? Did any of the "females" come over that night, or do we pretty much have two druggy dudes having a nice little sleepover?

Huh, so Healey's responsible for what newspapers publish now. Well, this from Healey's camp:
This is a campaign about differences. On Election Day, voters will have a choice about who they can trust to best serve the people of Massachusetts as their next governor. Kerry Healey has articulated a clear vision for the future. She has specific plans to reduce taxes, maintain fiscal discipline on Beacon Hill, improve standards in public education, and keep our communities safe by taking a hard line on crime.
We agree with Deval Patrick’s comments that as candidates we deserve, and expect, to be scrutinized. However, that scrutiny does not permit Deval Patrick to impugn the character of Lieutenant Governor Healey by launching baseless personal attacks and accusations that are not supported by any facts or evidence.
Deval Patrick has a right to voice his dissatisfaction with the media if he believes he is being treated unfairly. He does not have the right to blame the lieutenant governor for that treatment.

In response to: Patrick, Murray, Barros. Peake, Maloy win
Why does this site have to be so gratutious sometimes? Gay vs. Gay? It's offensive. Yes, I get it, both candidates are homosexuals. So what? Is that how they will vote? Do they need to contact their inner gayness to vote on every issue? C'mon. Candidates, actually, people, are made up of a lot of different parts. People can be gay, straight, black, white, Catholic, Jewish, Atheist, left handed or right handed. They may sing off key or not be able to tell time or like decaf over regular.
Why start things out this way? You label some candidates but not others (especially the ones you fancy). Why couldn't it just read "Peake vs. Maloy: rumble in the 4th" as a headline? If the two are running, I hope they have a hell of a lot more to say than I'm gay, I'm gay, I'm gay. Let's drop the drama and focus on the issues please.

That pic is so obviously Photoshopped. If there's nothing on, I usually put the Food Channel on, which means it's on quite a bit. I really like most of the personalities like Paula Dean and Ina Garten and that yummy Sandra Lee, but I find Rachael Ray annoying and insufferable. Unfortunately she does come up with a good recipe every now and then. But if I hear "sammies" or "evoo" one more time, I may kill myself.

WB: True that. Mr. Hart should be applauded. And it is the best movie house around. I've got a sweet setup at home and rarely go to the movies, but I do make it to the Cape Cinema several times a year. Best place to go if you want to divert from the mainstream and see some good cinema.

Looks like we have an official GOP rebuttal!
Boy, no wonder nothing gets done in government, you guys can't even play nice within your own party.
Although this does shed a bit more light on Mr. Maloy's claims. Who knew Eastham would be such a hotbed of Republican tomfoolery.

I'm not in Mr. Maloy's district and if I were, I would not be voting for him. However, it seems ridiculous to me that Mr. Buckley called the cops on him. He should have either called Mr. Maloy directly or perhaps even contacted the person who replaced the Buckley sign with the Maloy sign. Now if Mr. Buckley or one of his camp had seen or had some evidence of Mr. Maloy stealing his signs, that would be a different story. But that certainly doesn't seem to be the case here.

Opinionator, before you completely dismiss Teri Hatcher, you should look a little into her story and you'll find that the uncle who sexually abused her twenty years ago was also linked to the suicide of a 14 year old girl in 2002. She came forward to make sure they put him away. Just because Hatcher is an actress, doesn't mean she isn't human.

In response to: Grave Yards but not Grave Thoughts
Nice post, Chuck. I too love wandering through graveyards. Some of my favorites are in Chatham at the corner of Old Queen Anne and George Ryder and the one in Barnstable on 6A across from the Trayser Museum. Take a look in your local bookstore, there are some great guides out there. Also http://www.capecodgravestones.com/ is a great site, lots of listings and epitaphs. Lots of historical societies do costume-guide tours, but I don't think I could keep a straight face long enough to attend one.
My favorite epitaph of all times is in the Barnstable graveyard. Abigail Davis' headstone reads "Though worms & putrefaction shall consume this mortal body in ye silent tomb I shall revive & from ye grave arise & see my god with these corporeal eyes."
Cheery, no?
