Falmouth Outstanding Citizen of Year, Rich Sherman with wife, Kathy, and daughters, Katie (L) and Elizabeth
The Falmouth Chamber of Commerce held a reformatted Annual Meeting and Award Dinner on Tuesday May 12th to the delight of 300 attendees. “We really had a lot of fun and that was truly the goal,” explained Falmouth Chamber President Michael Kasparian. “It was our intention to make the event lighter and more relaxed. We separated the business portion of the meeting so the award dinner participants could focus on honoring this year’s recipient Rich Sherman.”
The 101st Annual Meeting was held in a separate function room at the Sea Crest Beach Hotel while the cocktail reception, and then the annual dinner took place later in the fabulous Ocean View Room.

‘Positively Appreciated’
Precinct 6 Warden, Susan Zavala, with Cooperative Bank Assistant Vice President, Teri Ferreira Keyes
Teri Ferreira Keyes, Assistant Vice President for Business Development and Sales at The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod, a member of the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce, did something “positively different” on Election Day, Tuesday, May 19th. Early, Tuesday morning, Teri delivered a complimentary 12-variety box of Dunkin Donuts for the poll-worker volunteers to each of the nine precincts covering Falmouth. Teri said, “with the polls open from 7:00am to 8:00pm and the set-up and tear-down requiring even more time, the volunteers were due for a little mid-morning ‘appreciation’ and we simply wanted to thank them for their service to the voters of Falmouth with a treat from another caring Chamber member. They certainly earn our vote.”
Massachusetts businesses worried about running afoul of a new ballot law are applauding an earned sick time regulation addition they say will give some companies “breathing room” to comply with the new statute. Attorney General Maura Healey’s aides reported that the “safe harbor” provision will address some concerns by businesses about implementation while ensuring the law still takes effect on July 1, 2015 for

Remote participants also will be automatically entered in a special lottery for a chance to run the event live in 2016. “We view this as a win-win for the New Balance Falmouth Road Race and running enthusiasts all over the region and the world,” said Scott Ghelfi, race president. “Our race is extremely popular and we know there are many people who want to run but can’t. Giving them the opportunity to officially be a part of the race and run the course, in a virtual way, from anywhere—something that’s never been done before—is exciting to us.” Visit falmouthroadrace.com for more information or to register for remote run.

Our Visitors Center is open six days weekly and will host thousands of people eager to learn about and participate in all that makes Falmouth such a wonderful place to visit.

We continue to promote Falmouth as a great destination not only for vacations, but also for day trips to tourists who are visiting Boston or coming to the Cape on a bus tour. There are a lot of moving parts, but by collaborating with other state and regional organizations, we are able to pool our resources and promote Falmouth to a much larger population. With the tough winter we endured, everyone is hopeful for a robust tourism season. The Chamber stands prepared to promote our members’ services and products, and we ask all Falmouth residents to support our economy by patronizing our local businesses and trades men and women.

AMERICAN SUNGLASS Cape Cod Retailer Opens Latest Sunglass Shop In Falmouth With nearly two decades of retail experience on Cape Cod, Charles and Nina Miller are expanding their operations to add a new sunglass store on Falmouth’s Main Street. Their latest shop, AmericanSunglass, will provide residents and visitors of this seaside community a dedicated sunglass store. “There’s definitely a need for this type of store in Falmouth,” said Mr. Miller, who also co-owns nearby Board Stiff in downtown Falmouth. AmericanSunglass will offer a wide variety of name brands including Ray-Ban, Costa del Mar, Prada, Tiffany, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Serengeti and Bvlgari. The store will be managed by Scott Fennelly of Fall River. While the Millers, under COT, Inc. (named after their three children: Charlotte, Owen and Tessa), own eight other retail stores in Mashpee, Provincetown, Boston and Newport, Rhode Island, they expressed excitement about the design of their ninth and latest one. “This is by far the nicest of them all,” Mr. Miller said. “There was a lot of time and effort
spent in making it appealing to shoppers.” Two large-screen televisions in AmericanSunglass are just one example of how the Millers are incorporating social media into their business. The televisions will showcase Instagram photos of customers wearing their recently purchased sunglasses. And for users who have 50 likes or more on those Instagram photos, they can return to the store and receive a $25 gift certificate. In 1987, Mr. Miller, a self-described wash-ashore who now calls Falmouth home, opened his first retail store, Coconuts in Provincetown, with Ms. Miller. They have since added to their roster on Cape Cod to include Sol Optics in Mashpee and Provincetown as well as Board Stiff in Falmouth and Provincetown. Now more than 20 years later, the Millers are just as excited about the business as they were when first starting out. “What I like about it best, in my position, is no day is ever the same,” he said. “It is always new, different and exciting.”

Falmouth Station Having taken leased possession of the Falmouth Station on Depot Avenue on May 1st, the Falmouth Economic Development & Industrial Corporation and some 30 friends joined forces to spruce up the grounds by riding the property of extensive brush, branch and years of fallen and drifting debris. Through the generosity of Cavossa Disposal Corporation, a 30 yard dumpster was ready on site to receive and dispose of the extensive clean-up piles that blighted the site from curb to the back lot. After hours of heavy but rewarding work the volunteers were treated to surprising mid-day lobster roll box lunch provided by Clark Guinn and the Sea Crest Beach Hotel. The landscape was not totally reclaimed in one weekend’s worth of fine effort but it was a grand start on the 99 year lease that will keep the historic district property in the caring hands of
the FEDIC and Falmouth citizens. Chamber members and volunteers who joined in the two-day cleanup included the FEDIC, Friends of Falmouth Bikeway, Falmouth Preservation Alliance, Realty Solutions, Falmouth Farmers Market, Falmouth Bikeway Committee, Island Queen, ShoreWay Acres, and volunteers Barbara Weyand, Warren Strassel, Philip Nehro, Dorie Ketterer, Mary Kavanagh, Heidi Walz, Todd Bidwell, Susan Shephard, Betsy Gladfelter, Jay Zavala, Jill Nehro, Hilary Hunt, Malcolm Donald, Michael Galasso, Trish Mara, David Eldredge, Scott Lindell, (Falmouth Bikeway Committee), Bob FitzPatrick (Friends of the Bikeway), Patricia Gadsby, Scott Simenas, Ken Peal, Barbara and Mike Meissner, Carol Rader, Michele O’Brien and her young daughter, and Town Manager Julian Suso.

According to Healey’s office, from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2015, the regulation would ensure compliance for any employer with a paid time off policy in existence as of May 1, 2015 that provides employees the right to use at least 30 hours of paid time off during the calendar year 2015. The paid time off must be “job protected” leave subject to the ballot law’s non-retaliation and noninterference provisions. By Jan. 1, 2016, all employers operating under the safe harbor provision must adjust their paid time off policy to conform with the ballot law, according to Healey’s office. The Massachusetts House and Senate this year turned back efforts by lawmakers to delay implementation of the ballot law, citing the importance of the measure to workers. In a statement, Healey said the measure “gives the businesses and non-profits that have already been offering earned sick time to their employees slightly more time to update their systems without fear of legal action.” “The provision represents a reasonable compromise that will allow employers already offering sick leave some breathing room to implement the new law. Attorney General Healey deserves tremendous credit for responding to the concerns of employers seeking to understand a complex new law and to comply with its provisions in a responsible manner,” Richard Lord, president of

Associated Industries of Massachusetts, said in a statement. Raise Up Massachusetts, the union-backed coalition that last year pressed for a minimum wage hike to go along with the earned sick time law, also expressed its satisfaction with the safe harbor rule. “Our goals were always to provide earned sick time for working families that don’t have it now, protect workers from retaliation when they need care for themselves or a loved one, and support responsible businesses that already provide sick time,” Raise Up Massachusetts said in a statement released by Healey’s office. “The Attorney General’s regulations capture both the letter and the spirit of the ballot question and ensure full implementation of the law on July 1. The Attorney General and her staff have done an excellent job creating solutions that work for everyone by crafting regulations that protect the important rights of workers while addressing the concerns of businesses.”

Member N e ws Telman Honored As Community Bank Hero Timothy T. Telman, President and CEO of Bank of Cape Cod, has been named a Community Bank Hero by the Warren Group and Banker & Tradesman. Community Bank Heroes is an annual award that honors achievements, commitment and dedication of financial professionals who go above and beyond for their institution and community. Telman founded Bank of Cape Cod with Timothy Telman the first branch opening in 2006 as he could see the proliferation of local banks being absorbed by larger institutions. At the time Telman said he saw the need for a more personal, community approach to banking on Cape Cod. Since then he had added three more Bank of Cape Cod branches, creating 38 year-round professional jobs on Cape Cod. He has made it his mission to hire employees who focus on helping local businesses and residents find the banking solutions that best meet their needs. Telman encourages, instills and promotes a personal, community touch to banking. He is involved as a board member in numerous non-profit organizations as well, including the Cape Cod Times Needy Fund, Cape Cod Healthcare Foundation, and the Sturgis Charter Public School, to name a few. In addition, he is a strong and vocal advocate at the bank on behalf of a number of worthwhile charities, including the United Way of Cape Cod; A Baby Center in Hyannis; The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod; The Cape Cod Baseball League; and the JFK Hyannis Museum. “I am humbled and honored to accept this award on behalf of the entire Bank of Cape Cod team who consider customers first and support and invest in our community through countless hours of volunteer time and service,” said Telman. “We all believe in and participate in supporting our customers, and the communities we are privileged to serve.” www.bankofcapecod.com

Gosnold Provides Naloxone to Police In an effort to give front-line public safety officers the tools to save more lives, Gosnold on Cape Cod has offered Evzio, the injectable form of Naloxone (commonly known as Narcan), an antidote that can reverse an opiate overdose, to police departments on the Cape and South Shore of Massachusetts. Several departments have already accepted the donation.

Oak Grove Cemetery Celebrates National Register Listing
t
t
Oak Grove Cemetery of Falmouth has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. On May 16, at 1:00 PM, members of the Oak Grove Cemetery Association and their guests held a Celebration to mark the event. The cemetery qualifies for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places due to its strong association with the history of Falmouth. Oak Grove Cemetery became Falmouth’s largest 19th century cemetery. It was the most popular site for 19th century Falmouth families to own burial plots. As a result, a large number of prominent citizens from the mid 19th century to mid 20th century were buried there, most notably, Katharine Lee Bates, author of “America the Beautiful”. Oak Grove is also the site of the only cemetery monument in Falmouth to the veterans of the Civil War and the cemetery is a well-preserved example of a 19th century rural cemetery and more formal community cemetery. The Elizabeth G. Park Chapel in Oak Grove is an excellent example of religious Colonial Revival architecture. It was designed by Falmouth architect Ernest Gunnar Peterson. The Celebration began with a catered reception in the Chapel garden, followed by a walking tour of points of interest in the oldest part of the cemetery. Exhibits were on display in the chapel. Nathan Ellis, a member of Oak Grove Board, who did much of the research on the cemetery, spoke about the cemetery’s history and The National Register of Historic Places plaque was unveiled. At Oak Grove’s Annual Meeting May 13, Phyllis Hunt was elected President, Brad Jordan was elected Vice President, George Cary was elected Treasurer, and Jane Scalli was elected Secretary. Oak Grove Cemetery of Falmouth is a private, not-for-profit cemetery open to all. It is located at 46 Jones Road. Falmouth. Visit oak-grove-cemetery-of-falmouth.com.

Falmouth Yacht Club To Host Sonars The 2015 Sonar Class World Championship is coming to Falmouth Yacht Club September 15th – Sunday September 20th. The photo below shows the starting line at the 2014 New England Championships also hosted by Falmouth. Particularly attractive to skippers is the short sail to the starting line from Falmouth Harbor, which depending on the wind and current could be west of the harbor jetty, or east, making Surf Drive Beach and Falmouth Heights Beach excellent viewing venues. September weather is usually quite spectacular. Post race events are also scheduled including a New England Clambake catered by Chamber member, Shuckers-Woods Hole. Major sponsors of the event include Doyle Sails, Goslings Run and Coral Reef Sailing Apparel. Would you like to know more about the Sonar Class or Sailing in general? Try these websites: www.sonar.org or www. sailfalmouth.org which offers lessons for kids and adults.
