CapeCod.com – A non-binding question concerning legalizing marijuana that was on ballots in town in the Lower and Outer Cape passed overwhelmingly.
The non-binding question to legalize marijuana appeared on ballots in Barnstable’s Fourth District, which is represented by State Representative Sarah Peake (D-Provincetown). Voters in the towns of Harwich, Chatham, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown passed the measure by a vote of 14,052 in favor and 5,204 opposed.
I see you Cape Cod! You dirty hippie stoners! You’re high right now aren’t you?
Seriously though, these numbers are ridiculous. Nothing passes by that much of a majority. Ever.
This means it looks like full legalization will be on the ballot next time around. In 2016 you will be able to buy weed at stores just like alcohol. Crazy times.
Vineyard Gazette – Leonard Jason Jr. seems destined to serve on Island boards. This week, the longtime building inspector for both Edgartown and Chilmark was re-elected to another two-year term on the Dukes County Commission, despite his intention to step down after 20 years. It was the second county election in a row in which Mr. Jason was elected without running.
On election day Tuesday there were seven declared candidates for seven seats on the county commission, including three declared write-ins. Even though Mr. Jason had said he wasn’t running, he received 252 write-in votes (minus Oak Bluffs, where results were unavailable at press time). It was the second highest number among the write-ins.
In an interview with the Gazette this week, Mr. Jason said he would accept the will of the voters and serve.
Holy shit, this guy must feel like he’s the Vineyard’s version of Bill Murray in Groundhog day. Every single election day he takes a walk, catches some kid falling out of a tree, changes some old ladies flat tire, and then realizes he’s been elected to the Punxsutawney County Commission even though he wasn’t even running… AGAIN.
Seriously though Martha’s Vineyard, cut the guy some slack will ya? How would you feel if you tried to retire after a long career and everyone in town took turns showing up at your house and dragging you to work every morning like it never happened? The dude just wants to start wearing socks with sandals and eating dinner at 3 p.m. Is that really too much to ask?
Lenny Jason really does sound like he couldn’t be a nicer guy though. He said he would “accept the will of the voters and serve”? Shit, if that was me the only accepting or serving going on would be me accepting the drinks the bartender serves me with umbrellas in them at some tiki bar in the Bahamas. All the voters would be getting out of my ass is a postcard that says “Thanks for the votes everyone, but it seems as though you might not have received the memo… LEAVE ME ALONE, I’M F#%*ING RETIRED!”
We posted earlier about a level 3 homeless sex offender that lives in the white bus that moves all around the Cape. We can’t get into details, but it has come to our attention that this guy has a very long, very violent record in New York in addition to his Massachusetts record.
We are talking serious acts, some against children. This guy is no harmless flasher, he’s the real deal. Stay very far away from this dude, and whatever you do, don’t engage him in any way. Don’t think it would be funny to spray paint something on his bus, don’t think you should take it upon yourself to tell him to leave Cape Cod. Don’t be a hero. We aren’t serious on this website very often, but we don’t blow smoke either and we are dead serious about this.
It’s true, tomorrow is The Real Cape’s first birthday. It’s been a crazy year and we figured why not look back on it once a week with a little throw back. Every Thursday we will post the most popular blog of the week from the year before.
Our first TBT is the post that started it all. This is the very first Real Cape article that went viral and as they say… the rest is history.
Will the real Kevin Bacon please stand up
Full Story Here – TRURO – Not surprisingly, homecoming is a big deal at Nauset Regional High School.
The annual dance that caps the week of festivities is typically one of the biggest events of the school year. But not this year.
While the school hosted its traditional formal on Saturday, most of the senior class turned out for a different, unsanctioned dance down the road.
You could call it something of a protest dance, but to Nauset senior Chris Wingard, who organized the event, it was a way to reclaim a rite of passage that had been chipped away at by school authorities.
“It all started last year when most of the students left after an hour and a half because it was really a pretty miserable time for them,” said Wingard, who is Nauset’s senior class vice president and a member of the student council.
The fun was diminished by lights turned on high and chaperones constantly pulling apart couples dancing closely or “grinding” on the dance floor, he said.
The suddenly heightened restrictions led to a general malaise about the event, he said.
“No one was really excited about going this year,” said Wingard. “They didn’t want to go back.”
So instead, Wingard decided to put together an alternative dance for his classmates. He secured the ballroom at the Four Points Sheraton in Eastham, booked a DJ, and got nine adults and an off-duty police officer to chaperone the event.
He called it The Miles Tibbetts Memorial Dance in honor of a Nauset student and friend who was struck and killed by a car on Aug. 17 while crossing Route 6 in Wellfleet.
Wingard sold more than 200 tickets at $15 dollars each, enough to cover the costs of the event and establish a $1,000 scholarship fund in Tibbett’s name.
He estimated that more than 150 of Nauset’s 250 seniors purchased tickets to the dance.
But the event wasn’t without a toll of controversy.
“There’s been a pretty strong backlash against it. It’s been extremely difficult for me honestly,” Wingard said.
Wingard faced pressures from school officials to cancel the event and brushback from teachers who disagreed with the intention of the dance.
“They made it out to be some some drug-fueled orgy, which is pretty far from the case,” Wingard said.
Some advisors wanted Wingard removed from his post as senior class vice president and to be taken off the student council, he said.
Oh what’s that Nauset High? You don’t want to let the kids bump and grind at the Homecoming dance? That’s cool, Chris Wingard will just host a private twerkfest right in your face on the same night. You have to respect this move by Chris, not many kids have the cojoñes to take on their school and he just went balls deep in the entire Nauset High faculty.
How can any educator with half a brain be mad at this kid? He saw a situation where the majority did not like what was happening and he changed it to fit the will of the people. It doesn’t get any more America than that folks. If we had more adults like him maybe we’d all be able to enjoy a drug fueled orgy every once in a while.
Yarmouth Police:LEVEL 3 SEX OFFENDER JOHN J. STANGL VEHICLE IDENTIFIED Level 3 Sex Offender John J. Stangl is a convicted felon and is legally registered as homeless in Hyannis. This is the vehicle that he uses and lives in and sometimes travels all over Cape Cod in. It was observed by the Yarmouth Police PAC UNIT this morning at Chase Garden Park on Route 28 in West Yarmouth near Standish Way. Please be vigilant…
Level 3 Sex Offender Community Notification Pursuant to M.G.L. c. 6, §§ 178C-178Q, the individual who appears on this notification has been designated as a Level 3 Sex Offender by the Sex Offender Registry Board. The Board has determined that this individual is at a high risk to reoffend and that the degree of dangerousness posed to the public is such that a substantial public safety interest is served by active community notification.
I don’t mean to be harping on criminals here today, but you may want to be aware of this alert from the Yarmouth Police. I don’t want to state the obvious here, but you just can’t get any more rapey than that bus. That thing should be confiscated immediately under some kind of “anti diddling factory” zoning bylaw violation or something.
So yeah, like the YPD says “please be vigilant” which directly translated into Rapish means, “Stay the fuck away from this guy”…
On Sunday November 2, 2014 at 8:45 p.m. Barnstable Police Officer Troy Perry was dispatched to My Salon & Spa, 58A Corporation Rd. in Hyannis. The business owner discovered that the business had just been broken into during the last hour
A new surveillance system had just been installed and it yielded priceless photos and video of the suspect throughout the course of the entire break-in. The suspect spent nearly 15 minutes in the Salon looking for money but left only with some wine coolers that he located in the back room.
Officer Keith Sexton of the midnight shift viewed the photos during a roll call briefing on the case and was able to positively identify the suspect as Michael Nickerson of Hyannis. Officers Perry and Sexton interviewed Nickerson at a home on Hiramar Rd. Nickerson was found to have the same distinctive clothing and sneakers and was also in possession of the wine coolers that were stolen.
Nickerson is considered to be a suspect in several other commercial break-ins in the area including the previous one at the My Salon & Spa.
Ahhhh… winter time on Cape Cod. Is there anything quite like it? The salon you broke into doesn’t have any cash laying around because they wised up since the last time you broke in? All is not lost, just grab the Bartles and Jaymes that the stylists were saving for a bachelorette party in the morning and get yourself a nice buzz, go out on the town, maybe even stab someone in the neck with a screwdriver if you have time.
They say this guy was backing up to leave a parking spot after being inside the restaurant. So the real question here is what kind of a lunatic goes INTO McDonald’s to eat these days? There are two acceptable times to actually set foot in a McD’s. One is if you’re on a road trip and you need to stretch your legs and use the bathroom, the other is if you have little kids and there is a playground on site. This dude is 76 and lives a few towns away so we can eliminate those two scenarios with a good amount of confidence.
Maybe we should remove the reverse gear from people’s cars when they turn 70. All these oldies crashing into buildings are always either in reverse, or they thought they were in reverse but jumped forward. Let’s just remove one of the directions their cars can travel in and we will probably save a few million a year in property damage. Sorry Grandpa, no parking if it doesn’t have a loop driveway.
Hippie
