Conversation Starters
Outdoor Dining Continues
The select board met for just under eight minutes on April 12 to approve the expansion of alcohol licenses for outdoor seating, as approved last June by Gov. Baker. The rule would go into effect just in time for the school vacation week.
“You allowed the restaurants to have their outdoor dining for school vacation week and that’s important for a few of them,” said Town Administrator Jacqui Beebe.
Licenses were approved for Red Barn Pizza, Local Break, BrickHouse Restaurant, Mac’s Seafood, Orleans-Eastham Elks Lodge, Basco Grill, Laura and Tony’s Kitchen, Good Eats, and Brine.
Board member Al Cestaro recused himself from the vote on Mac’s Seafood. Select board chair Jamie Demetri was absent from the meeting.
Earth Day Marsh Cleanup
Bayside marshes from upper Boat Meadow to First Encounter Beach will be getting some Earth Day attention with a clean-up planned for April 23 and 24 by volunteers from the Eastham Conservation Foundation (ECF), the Open Space Committee, and DPW staff.
ECF member Joanna Buffington said volunteers are already lined up and would be the same group that went out last year. Volunteers will meet at the First Encounter Beach parking lot Sat. at 1 p.m. with their collections for the DPW to haul away. —Linda Culhane
