Ells: Barnstable unlikely to appeal federal court T-Mobile ruling
Centerville Concerned Citizens seeks guidelines for future 5G installations

Barnstable is unlikely to appeal a U.S. District Court ruling to allow T-Mobile to operate six cellular antennas inside a church steeple in the village center, but the group known as Centerville Concerned Citizens remains proactive.
Town Manager Mark Ells recently announced to the Barnstable Town Council that he is preparing a response to an inquiry from the Centerville Civic Association. The citizens group is vociferously opposed to T-Mobile s operating six antennas installed at South Congregational Church in January 2018 but never made operational.

For the month of January, the Cape Cod Maritime Museum is serving as a collection location for A Baby Center donations.
For over 20 years, the Hyannis-based charity has been providing critical baby essentials, at no cost, to parents of infants in poverty on Cape and Islands, and helping to ensure the good health and safety of babies and toddlers in our community.
The organization also offers resources such as parenting support programs and nutritional guidance to young families.
Throughout the entire month, drop off new baby supplies at the Maritime Museum Wednesday through Friday between noon and 3 p.m., or by appointment any other day of the week. A Baby Center s wish list includes: size six (6) diapers; baby wash, lotion and shampoo; rash cream; and toddler clothing- sizes 12M, 2T, 3T, 4T and 5T.

The Barnstable Town Council on Thursday elected Matthew Levesque and Paula Schnepp, both of Marstons Mills, as president and vice president for 2021.
Marstons Mills is going to be well-represented, Levesque said at the conclusion of the council s 4.5-hour Dec. 17 meeting. But it s not just about Marstons Mills, it s about all the villages.
Levesque succeeds Council President Paul Hebert of Centerville, the founder of CHAMP Homes, who led the 13-member council through a difficult year after the unexpected Oct. 18, 2019 passing of former Council President Jim Crocker, 63, of Osterville due to complications from heart surgery.
Hebert ran for re-election, saying he would continue to represent the town s best interests, ensuring that both residents and councilors feel comfortable speaking publicly.
