DAVID STILL I I PHOTO MAKING A SPLASH - On the perfect Sunday afternoon that marked New Year's Day in Barnstable, hundreds gathered at Millway Beach for the annual Barnstable Harbor Plunge, some to brave the 38-degree waters and many more to watch and cheer. The benefit raised money for the Glenna Kohl Fund for Hope (www.glennasfund.org). See page A3 for more photos.

As Barnstable waits for news of its next permanent town manager, the municipality is operating without the drama that confronted John Klimm when he began his service in that role. In December 1999, Klimm took the reins from James Tinsley (no rela- tion to the present town councilor), the town finance director who had received a battlefield promotion to town manager when the first man to hold that post, Warren Rutherford, resigned in January 1997. As with Klimm in 2011 , some councilors complained about "communication problems" with Rutherford. With Tinsley'scontract set to expire in June 2000, a fractious council ar- gued early in 1999 about whether the hiring should be held over until after the November election but agreed to proceed. The big issue of the day was a $3.8 million override vote. Here's how the Patriot saw the request in an editorial: "Unfortunately for officials on both the municipal and schools sides, trust is a commodity in short supply. Between the school budget crisis of three years ago (which came to light within a week of a successful $60 mil- lion override for school construction projects), the more recent infight- ing among town councilors and a myriad of other, smaller incidents, all involved in town government can share in this erosion.

There are two things many students on Cape Cod know about: sports and drugs. Chris Herren knows about them, too, the good and the bad , and will be sharing his insights in a special public event Jan. 12 at Barnstable High School. Herren, who hails from Fall River, is a former Boston Celt- ics basketball player who went from being at the top of his game to falling into a serious alcohol and heroin addiction that cost him his spot on the team, put his relationship with his family in jeopardy and nearly cost him his life. In the past year, Herren has written a book, titled Basketball Junkie, and was also the sub- ject of an ESPN documentary called "Unguarded." "Those two things have really catapulted him into a national spotlight, primarily about his life, his addiction, and his treat- ment since," said Ray Tamasi, executive director of Gosnold on Cape Cod, where Herren received treatment. 1 It was Tamasi who aided Beth Butler, director of the Centerville Public Library, in arranging for Herren to speak at BHS. "This all came about because we saw his ESPN spe- cial and we were so taken with it," Butler said. "It became a t great collaboration between the schools, the youth center, the libraries, and Ray Tamasi was wonderful enough to ar- range for it."
