Minks, rats and a Cape Cod legend

Driving past a neighborhood patch of brush and wetlands, I watched as a critter, sleek and dark with a long tail, slid across the road. My brain tried to register similar animals I’ve seen on Cape Cod. But It was too small to be a fisher. And it was too far from significant water to be an otter.

Housing bylaw changes on Yarmouth town meeting warrant Nov. 16

Four of the eight articles on the Yarmouth special town meeting warrant on Nov. 16 call for changes to bylaws governing short-term rentals and accessory dwelling units. Article 5 would modify and fine-tune current regulations related to short-term rentals and convert provisions from a zoning bylaw to a general bylaw before they expire on Nov. 30, 2026, helping to preserve a vital revenue source for the town, according to the article description. The regulations were originally approved at the 2022 annual town meeting to codify the historic use of homes on Cape Cod as vacation rentals. The short-term rental bylaw was prepared to ensure continued economic benefits and revenues to the town from the short-term rental excise tax. The revenue from the bylaw was more than $2.3 million in fiscal year 2026, with 75% going toward funding the town’s wastewater program. A sunset clause was included in the original bylaw to allow time for further studies or analysis, but the bylaw provisions would expire unless amended at town meeting. A second article would extend the sunset clause until the new bylaw becomes effective on Jan. 1, 2028. If the short-term rental articles do not pass, another vote would be required

Our View: Move Forward With Sea Camps

The more than $1.7 million that Brewster voters will be asked to spend on capital improvements to the Sea Camps bay property at Monday’s special town meeting is an investment worth making. The defeat of master plan funding for the property was a setback; on Nov. 16 voters have an opportunity to put rehabilitation of the property back on track. The money, which comes from community preservation funds and free cash, will rehabilitate tennis courts, allow demolition of up to 21 buildings, replace a water main in an environmentally sensitive area and develop landscaping and trail plans. The property holds the potential for being a real centerpiece for the town, and these steps will continue movement in that direction.

Cord left Cape Cod coyote unable to move. Wildlife vets have questions

A Cape Cod coyote is showing signs of recovery after rescuers found a cord wound tightly around its neck, leaving the animal temporarily unable to move his legs and raising fears of a serious spinal injury. The eastern coyote was brought to the Cape Wildlife Center in Barnstable around midday on Nov. 9 after staff from the Yarmouth Division of Natural Resources rescued him. According to the department, a resident had noticed the animal in distress and reported it. "When he came in, he could not move any of his limbs at all," said Dr. Priya Patel, a veterinarian at Cape Wildlife Center . "He basically was just lying on the ground. He was aware. His eyes were moving, but he could barely lift his head." Wildlife vets initially feared coyote had suffered spinal damage Patel said the veterinary team immediately feared the animal had suffered spinal trauma. The cord was so tightly wrapped around his neck that it could not be seen under the fur, and it was "constricting so much of the soft tissue," she said. While spinal damage was the first concern, the team noted extensive swelling around the coyote's neck and hoped some of the neurological

Barnstable volleyball eyes Final Four behind championship legacy

BARNSTABLE — One quick way to be upset in state tournament volleyball is to make self-inflicted mistakes. The Barnstable girls volleyball team was not about to do that on Wednesday. In a Division 2 Sweet 16 match against No. 12 Norwood, the No. 5 Red Hawks played mostly error-free volleyball, especially at the service line, in a 3-1 (25-7, 23-25, 25-10, 25-13) victory. For the entire match, the Red Hawks (18-5) committed just four service errors. They did not have a ton of hitting errors, either, and outlasted a Norwood team that never built significant momentum after the visiting Mustangs won the second set. Barnstable coach Tom Turco said the team does not spend a ton of time or attention on serving in practice. Turco could have fooled Norwood. One player who stood out as a server was sophomore Alayna Rodriguez. She was 18-for-19, including an eight-point run at the end of the first set to seal the win. She had two aces during a six-point run in the second set. Turco trusts Rodriguez — who finished with four aces — in that respect. "That's the way she serves," Turco said. "She can hit a dime. That's her gift. She's
