Wandering Cape Cod again
Saturday October 12, 2024
September is a good time to visit the Cape. The crowds are gone, restaurants are still open, and it's surprisingly still quite warm. The sun lit my days for a week and a half, rain only the last few days, morning fog adding a little mystery to the cemetery across the street. A kind friend invited me to use her house; her family keeps it busy throughout the summer but fall is a quiet time. There always seems to be new places to explore.   I met a friend from Falmouth, who had lived in Yarmouth Port for a while, at Sesuit Harbor Café, with its picnic tables outdoor along the boat-filled harbor, still crowded on a Friday in September, for my first lobster roll of the visit.   Sesuit Harbor Café           Sesuit Beach   My friend told me stories of Yarmouth Port's historic buildings. We drove back to town and hiked the trail there and stood under the sprawling 100-year-old English Weeping Beech tree. I later toured Captain Bang Hallet's House, carefully restored, but only a few rooms were open. My favorite stop was the home of Edward Gorey, whose quirky, macabre drawings, that inspired Tim Burton's films, brought a smile.   Yarmouth Port historic area           Recreated indigenous structure               Captain Bang Hallet's House   Kelly's Chapel Gorham Cobbler Shop, little free library   Edward Gorey House       Children's corner, Yarmouth Port Public Library   Gray's Beach   Roughly a mile and a half long, the boardwalk at Gray's Beach is built above a marsh, hosting a variety of marine wildlife. One side is marsh, the other beach. At low tide, the marsh looks like a hedge maze with deep muddy lines running through it. At high tide, the maze fills with sea water and the beach just about disappears. A man I met there told me the best time to visit Gray's is when the tide is rushing in and filling the maze. I stopped by a few more times, but never did catch that magical moment.               low tide           high tide           Around town   Corner of Main and Summer Streets         Morning walks to Dennis Pond                 Wild turkeys   I took a couple of road trips during this time on the Cape.

***  LISTEN ***  HYANNIS COPS SUCCESSFULLY SURROUND, STOP FLEEING MAN W/ KNIFE TO HIS OWN THROAT [HN AUDIO]
Thursday October 10, 2024
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ?  [HN AUDIO NOTES]  ?  Barnstable Police officers assigned to the downtown Hyannis area handled an extremely volatile situation last evening when they reportedly encountered a man with a knife to his throat!  He was threatening that he had a Glock firearm in his belt, according to radio transmissions.  Shortly before 10:00 p.m., Barnstable Police patrol officers assigned to the downtown Hyannis sector encountered a man that area police had been wanting to contact for a ?well-being check,? according to police sources.  There had been a B.O.L.O. out of the Falmouth Police Department to check on the man.  Mashpee Police also had an interest in the case, according to radio transmissions.  As you will hear in the following HN audio, Barnstable Police patrolmen encountered the man at the Hyannis Transportation Center.  He reportedly was holding a knife to own throat when officers were attempting to reason with him.  At one point, the man threatened that that he had a Glock firearm in his belt as he reportedly went running along the train tracks toward the bus terminal.  Officers immediately shut down the area and were ordered to stop any arriving buses from entering the area of the bus terminal.  Dispatch reached out the Mashpee Police and learned that the man is known to threatened to have a firearm when he is intoxicated? and that he does not have known access to firearms.  This helped officers as they talked about using a shotgun chambered with beanbag rounds if necessary.  As you will hear, officers were able to contain the man and eventually take him into custody.  It's unknown at the time of this report whether officers needed to deploy beanbag rounds to defuse the situation.  But as you will hear, the man was transported to Cape Cod Hospital inside a Hyannis Fire Department ambulance.  Police also responded to the hospital along with rescue.  A member of the Sheriff's Crime Scene Unit was also requested to respond to CCH.  The following HN ?video? highlights Barnstable Police radio transmissions, along with Hyannis FD radio transmissions.  [HN VIDEO ?  PRESS PLAY]
