The announcem ent this week, ahead of the 45-day notice required by state law, allows additional time for impacted organizations to prepare for the end of the public health emergency. Governor Healey will also file legislation that would extend key flexibilities provided by the public health emergency, partic ularly around staffing for the health c are industry and emergency medical servic es (EMS). The Governor also announced that on May 11 she plans to res c ind Exec utive Order 595 that required all Executive Branch state employees to have rec eived their primary series COVID-19 vaccines. “Thanks to the hard work of our health care providers and c omm unities , we’ve m ade important progress in the fight against COVID-19,” said Gove rnor He aley. “W e know that we have the tools to manage this virus – vac c ines, masking, testing, getting treatments and staying hom e when sic k – and we’ve reached the point where we can update our guidanc e to reflec t where we are now. I’d also like to ac knowledge the leadership of Governor Baker and his administration, who saved c ountless lives by putting these important measures in place in a time of imm ens e c ris is.” “Executive Order No. 595 has been a successful tool for boosting vaccination rates and reducing the spread and s everity of COVID-19 in Mas s ac hus etts . W e’re grateful to the state employees who did their part to keep themselves, their coworkers and their com munities safe,” s aid Lie ute nant Gove rnor Driscoll. “W e encourage Massachusetts res idents to continue taking important prevention m eas ures to keep our com munities healthy, like getting boosted, masking and staying hom e when you’re feeling s ick.” “W e are fortunate that in Massachusetts, the wide availability of vac c ines, tests, effective treatments, and PPE c hanged the c ourse of a pandemic that brought loss and hardship to so many. Three years on from the s tart of the pandemic, we are now in a very different plac e,” said Secre tary of He alth and Human Serv ices Kate Walsh. “W hile we will c ontinue living with COVID-19, we can now incorporate the tools to m anage this virus into our standing response to respiratory illness within our c omm unities and healthcare system.” Governor Healey’s legislation would: Continue flexibilities currently in place regarding s taffing for out-of-hospital dialysis centers. This would apply for 6 m onths to allow dialysis centers time to return to pre-COVID staffing levels. Authorize certain non-Medication Administration Program (MAP) c ertified staff to administer certain prepackaged medic ations in c ommunity settings . This would apply for 6 months to enable DPH to finaliz e reforms that streamline the MAP program training requirem ents . Allow staffing of Advanced Life Support level ambulanc e transports with a single EMT provider and a first res ponder driver (rather than 2 certified EMTs). This would be a permanent change based on the positive experience of this staffing model over the last three years . Exec utive Order No. 595 helped raise the percentage of fully vaccinated executive department employees from around 76 percent to over 99 perc ent. Mandates for staff in certain roles and s ettings will remain in plac e, per CMS and EOHHS regulations. ### In celebration of Earth Day 2023 join us for BEAUTIFY BREWSTER A day of service and cleanup for the town of Brewster!

The Governor’s budget proposal generally reflects an overall increase in local aid. Brewster is set to have a net increase of about $133K from our original budget projections. County Initiatives include the Aqua Fund which replaces the County Septic Loan Management program. The new fund seeks to reduce the interest rate for residents who are eligible to access these funds to upgrade their septic systems and help finance sewer hookup fees.

Debrief on March 6, 2023 Special Town Meeting and Vote on Next Steps Regarding Wing Island Members of the Selectboard each expressed their position on the next steps regarding Wing Island: Selectperson Bingham shared that she feels that the Select Board made a mistake and did not read the public correctly. The Town should have provided more options back in August and we could have been in a better position. Selectperson Whitney stated that at Town Meeting heard that we should leave the planks alone, but there was no mention of replacing them or repairing them when needed. Members of the Select Board take an oath to uphold the Laws of the Commonwealth, through this process the Town learned we don’t have the license required for the current planks and in leaving them along we are enabling violation of the Laws of the Commonwealth. Adding that the Town should continue to replace and repair them as needed, it is less intrusive and damaging to the marsh. Selectperson Chatelain shared these same concerns and stated that if this was private property, as relevant agents the Board would be expected to enforce our local regulations and we should expect the State to enforce theirs at some point. In the short-term the Town should plan on doing nothing until we can come up with a solution in protecting the marsh. Adding that it will be interesting to see what guidance comes out of the Committee that will review the Drummer Boy Park Master Plan. Selectperson Hoffmann shared that the spirit of Town Meeting has been heard and we need to now go in a different direction. Selectperson Chaffee stated that while there has been a community focus on protecting Wing Island, we also need to protect the marsh. Mr. Lombardi noted that Department of Environmental Protection is not planning on taking active enforcement measures against the Town, they are aware on the non-compliance. In terms of maintenance, Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631-1898 Phone: (508) 896-3701 www.brewster-ma.gov Select Board 3.13.2023 www.brewster-ma.gov Page 4 of 9 Office of: Select Board Town Manager the local permits that were approved by the Conservation Commission have included allowances for continued maintenance activities. Noting that the marsh is under the care, custody and control of the Conservation Commission and there is a Conservation Restriction (CR) held by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, which allows for maintenance activities to maintain what is currently in place. Mr. Lombardi shared that one of the follow up items that Town Administration needs to complete is our technical and legal concerns in closing out the grant with the State and our contractual obligations with Horsley Witten. Selectperson Chatelain moved to cease all town activities associated with design, permitting and/or construction of a new boardwalk to Wing Island except that Town Manager and Town staff shall take necessary actions to close out all related contractual obligations and grant agreements. Selectperson Chaffee second. A roll call vote was taken. Selectperson Bingham-yes, Selectperson Chaffee-yes, Selectperson Hoffmann-yes, Selectperson Chatelain-yes, Chair Whitney-yes. The Board vote was 5-Yes, 0-No. Jillian Douglass commented that she is encouraged by the discussion and the points made of the process and procedures is important. John Depuy, Main Street, shared that the main interest is on Article 2 on the path forward, noting that the Town has never been more unified than it was at the Special Town Meeting. Review Draft Special Legislation Regarding Wing Island Protection Mr. Lombardi noted that the Conservation Commission is planning on discussing their interest in having the responsibility of the care, custody, and control of Wing Island at their next meeting. Town Counsel has provided two different options relative to the Special Legislation, one which would affectively mirror the language in Article 2 to do the two things that Town Meeting is seeking, transfer care, custody, and control and to memorialize the long-standing conservation uses that the Island has seen for many decades. The second option would seek to place a Conservation Restriction on the Island which is consistent with ongoing Select Board discussions. Mr. Lombardi noted that the State Legislative process could take a year or two, allowing the Town time to work through the details of a Conservation Restriction (CR) in terms of a management plan and a ecological assessment. The language can be constructed so that the details could be brought to a future Town Meeting for approval. This would be a two-step process, Town Meeting approves to place a CR on the Island, once granted, bring an article to Town Meeting to define the CR. Mr. Lombardi shared that this will be on the next Select Board meeting agenda when the draft will be available from Town Counsel. There was some discussion on memorializing the relationship we have with private non-profit organizations, Mr. Lombardi stated that if we do advance a CR or not, we would want to have some sort of license agreement with entities for use of the Island on a regular basis. The Select Board has clear policies of use of Town property and requirements for liability waivers and requirement for certificates of liability. Mr. Lombardi commented that Town Counsel opined that Wing Island already is afforded Article 97 Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631-1898 Phone: (508) 896-3701 www.brewster-ma.gov Select Board 3.13.2023 www.brewster-ma.gov Page 5 of 9 Office of: Select Board Town Manager protections, and because that is the case, means that it already has significant protections under state law and that we must go through a process where Town Meeting has to approve a Special Act separate from last week’s approval that seeks state authorization to affect the changes. Update on Planned Maintenance Activities at Drummer Boy Park Playground- Griffin Ryder, DPW Director Mr. Griffin shared that the toddler playground at Drummer Boy Park has fallen into disrepair. In communication with a playground consultant determined the best and easiest thing to do while maintaining the structure is to keep the slide structure and add a climbing ladder. The Town has purchased a small climbing structure as well to be added. Mr. Griffin noted the adjacent wetlands and how some of the under drains have become exposed. The DPW is looking to overhaul the park with quick fixes and will add a layer of play chips. The DPW has received a Request for Determination of Applicability through the Conservation Commission, this is good for 3 years. Mr. Lombardi stated that the Town’s responsibility is to maintain the equipment that is there, as the new Committee is established there will be long-term direction on elements of the park. Update on Use of Winter Recovery Assistance Program Funding to Repave Breakwater Road and Foster Road- Griffin Ryder, DPW Director Mr. Griffin noted that the State awarded Brewster $186K in funds through the Recovery Assistance Program to provide improvements to roadways, guardrails, signs and degrading of road surfaces. The proposal is to address both a portion of Breakwater Road and Foster Road drainage issues, which is part of yearly repair and maintenance, and then use the funds awarded to complete milling and overlay. The work will be completed within the current footprint of the roadway. Mr. Griffin noted that communication was sent to department heads, boards and committees and residents in the area of the proposed work due to start the week of March 27 and paved by mid-May. Presentation and Vote on the Health and Human Services Committee FY24 Funding Recommendations- Sean Parker, HHS Committee Chair Sean Parker read the list of the 17 non-profit agencies that the committee is recommending funding to, these include: AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, Alzheimer’s Family Support Center, Cape Abilities, Cape Cod Children’s Place, Consumer Assistance Council, Duffy Health Center, Elder Services of Cape Cod, Family Pantry of Cape Cod, Food 4 Kids- Church of the Holy Spirit, Homeless Prevention Council, Independence House, Lower Cape Outreach Council, Nauset Together We Can, Nauset Youth Alliance, Outer Cape Health Service, Sight Loss Services, and South Coastal Counties Legal Services. These organizations are available for our neighbors in a time of need. In total the 17 organizations requested $141,070.00 and the committee recommends granting $131,070.00. Mr. Parker noted that the needs of Brewster residents are on the rise, as it stands now in order to fund a new organization, the Committee has to defund a returning organization. Adding that the returning organizations continues to provide essential needs at increasing costs. Mr. Parker shared that he would like to work with the Town in the coming year to identify solutions to this challenge. Ms. Kalinick suggested that the Town Finance Team meet with Mr. Parker to review the gap in funding and ways to be able to address it. Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631-1898 Phone: (508) 896-3701 www.brewster-ma.gov Select Board 3.13.2023 www.brewster-ma.gov Page 6 of 9 Office of: Select Board Town Manager Selectperson Chaffee moved to approve the funding recommendations of the Brewster Health and Human Services Committee.

The Board vote was 5-Yes, 0-No. Presentation and Vote on Community Preservation Act Article- Faythe Ellis, CPC Chair Faythe Ellis provided an overview of the Community Preservation Act, known as the CPA, which appropriates a 3% surcharge on the Town’s real estate tax revenues. This is reserved in a special fund to finance projects and programs for the purposes of preservation of open space, recreation, community housing and historic preservation. Ms. Ellis noted that there is an estimated revenue of $1.22M for FY24 tax surcharge. The estimated State match for FY24 is $358,153 for an estimated total of $1.58M. The recommendations in this Article are in accordance with the newly adopted statutory allocation formula. Ms. Ellis reviewed the items in the proposed Article, including the funding request details and the CPC votes. Ms. Ellis provided an overview of the regional housing project applications from Friends or Relatives with Autism and Related Disabilities (FORWARD) at the Rock Phase II in Dennis, Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC) at 107 Main Street in Orleans, and Preservation of Affordable Housing Inc. (POAH) with the Community Development Partnership (CDP) at Juniper Hill in Wellfleet. Ms. Kalinick noted that a lot of these regional request are more recent, the Town continues to address affordable and community housing issues and recognizes that to do this, we must do look regionally as there are so many units needed. The intention for Millstone Housing is to ask for funding from surrounding towns. Ms. Kalinick reviewed the process for local preference, noting that a town may ask for up to 70% of local preference to the Department of Housing and Community Development. Adding the Town will have a more in-depth discussion and education around local preference and when it applies after Town Meeting. Selectperson Hoffmann moved to recommend to Town Meeting the Community Preservation Act Article as described. Selectperson Chatelain second. A roll call vote was taken.

Mr. Roberts asks Brewster to vote yes on the plastics reduction article to ban all plastic utensils and food containers used for carryout in restaurants as of September 1, 2024. Dr. Venkatesan stated that the petitioners know that business will be impacted and asked with the emerging and known concerns why business have not on their own made changes to less impactful products. Member of the Select Board asked questions and made comments regarding the petition, some of the discussion included topic such as: Possible substitutes for plastic utensils Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631-1898 Phone: (508) 896-3701 www.brewster-ma.gov Select Board 3.13.2023 www.brewster-ma.gov Page 7 of 9 Office of: Select Board Town Manager How many pounds of plastic would be avoided with this ban. Implementation would take time for community members and visitors, phase in approach. Education needs to encourage behavioral changes. Concern with Styrofoam containers Mr. Lombardi noted that Town Counsel reviewed and has provided feedback, indicating that the article is proper as to form. Adding that it would be important to educate the voters and business community that Styrofoam is covered under this prohibition. The owners of local business, Cobies, Kate’s Seafood and J.T.’s Seafood all had the opportunity to express their feelings regarding the citizens petition. Robert Slavin (Cobies) commented that we are all on the same side, however business are largely seasonal and tourist based. A change like this is going to take time. Mr. Slavin noted that plastic is widely used in his industry, including products that are shipped to them that is covered in plastic. The problem is bigger than just food containers and utensils, people understand sustainability, but to get rid of these items would case an unbelievable hardship for his business. The alternatives are much more expensive. John & Kate Ohman (Kate’s Seafood) noted that there are ways to implement this, it is a process not a mandate. Their business stopped using and accepting Styrofoam years ago. Mr. Ohman stated that plastic cups and silverware is nearly impossible to replace right now, this would be piling on to businesses who are already in a difficult place that was devastated by the pandemic. Adding that recycling needs to be educated more, this should be the direction rather than a mandate. Dr. Venkatesan commented that if we create a mandate that things have to be changed, is when we create the innovation for the alternatives that can substitute.

For both articles Town Counsel have opined that they are both flawed in that they generally seek to have a Legislative body (Town Meeting) impose restrictions on an Executive body (Select Board). Due to this, both articles would be advisory in nature. Mr. Lombardi noted that both our Charter and Town Bylaws require that the Town develop a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan and that those are presented directly to our residents that identifies all projects over $100K. Town Meeting has appropriating authority over any projects that requires authorization. The Town has been very clear in our project process, with the amount, the financing source, and the anticipated timing Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631-1898 Phone: (508) 896-3701 www.brewster-ma.gov Select Board 3.13.2023 www.brewster-ma.gov Page 8 of 9 Office of: Select Board Town Manager of the projects. Mr. Lombardi believes there are some practical implications if the first article were to be enforceable in terms of the Towns ability to access significant funding opportunities. Mr. Lombardi commented that in relation to the second article, the language seeking to be inserted in terms of certain conditions on the Select Board’s acceptance of anonymous gifts is effectively everything that the Town completed in the case with Wing Island, except for filing the information with the Town Clerk’s office. Selectperson Hoffmann moved to recommend the citizens petition article seeking to require Town Meeting approval of all projects over $100K. Selectperson Chatelain second. A roll call vote was taken.

CENTER FOR SOCIAL & DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH IN AGING GERONTOLOGY INSTITUTE, UMASS BOSTON CONTACT: CAITLIN.COYLE@UMB.EDU VOICE: 617.287.7467 4 Age-Friendly Brewster: Needs Assessment 1.Overview The Town of Brewster, led by the Council on Aging, has requested a study of the needs and interests of Brewster’s current and future older adult population (age 50 and over). The requested study will inform the Brewster Council on Aging’s planning for programs and services meant to address the evolving needs and interests of Brewster’s older residents—including those who live in Brewster year-round and those who live in Brewster on a seasonal or part-time basis. The proposed scope of work outlined in this document addresses the needs assessment will inform planning for programs, policies and other Town-wide efforts meant to ensure that Brewster is a friendly, accessible and inclusive place for residents to grow up and grow old. 2.Facility & Key Personnel The principal place where research will be conducted is the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB) Campus (100 Morrissey Blvd, Boston, MA 02125). Since its establishment in 2012, the Center for Social and Demographic Research on Aging (CSDRA) within the Gerontology Institute at UMB has focused on developing applied research and evaluation capacities to support communities and their aging residents throughout the Commonwealth. To this end, CSDRA has conducted multicomponent community needs assessments on a contract basis, aimed at identifying gaps in programs and services targeting older adults. In these projects, CSDRA researchers have used multiple applied research methods, including surveys, focus groups, key informant interviews, and analysis of secondary data from the U.S. Census and other sources, to assess unmet needs of older adults and to support communities during their planning for future service provision. The Director of the Center for Social & Demographic Research on Aging (CSDRA), Dr. Caitlin Coyle, serves as the principal investigator on this project. Her expertise in gerontology and public health and applied qualitative and quantitative evaluation offers a strong basis for leading and supervising the proposed project. All projects are supported by additional research staff from CSDRA. In addition to these staff, CSDRA also employs doctoral students from the gerontology department who have experience conducting needs assessments. Student participation in community projects will include assisting in protocol and tool development, serving as note- takers in focus groups, and assisting in report production. 3.Scope of Service The CSDRA at the University of Massachusetts Boston (“Institute”) proposes to conduct all components of the study as described below. Specific elements of the study will be finalized in consultation with representatives from the Brewster Council on Aging. To the extent required by University policy, approval of the University of Massachusetts Boston Institutional Review Board will be obtained prior to beginning the study. Prepare a demographic profile of the age 18+ population in Brewster, based on existing data from the U.S. Census Bureau— Data from the U.S. Census Bureau will be analyzed using conventional demographic methods in order to generate a limited profile of the 5 Town of Brewster’s population aged 18 and over. Special emphasis will be placed on describing projections and demographic factors that may have implications for the community in coming years. Further, comparisons across varying age-specific segments of Brewster’s population will also be used to inform an understanding of the community context in which Brewster’s older residents are embedded. As an initial step toward understanding characteristics of Brewster’s population through quantitative data, we will use data from the American Community Survey (ACS)—a large, annual survey of the population, conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. For purposes of this assessment, we will primarily use information drawn from the most current 5-year ACS files (2017-2021) for the Town of Brewster to summarize demographic characteristics including growth of the older population, shifts in the age distribution, gender, race and education distributions, householder status, living arrangements, household income, and disability status. Data are publicly available for download on the U.S. Census website (http://www.census.gov/). The University and the Gerontology Institute within the University provide computer/software support for analyzing Census data. Additional demographic data are drawn from projections generated by the Donahue Institute at the University of Massachusetts (http://pep.donahue- institute.org/) and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (http://www.mapc.org/). Prepare written and web versions of a questionnaire designed to be used in a survey of the age 50+ population—A resident survey questionnaire will be developed by the research team at UMB, in consultation with the COA. The questionnaire will include quantitative and open-ended questions chosen based on their salience with respect to the planning needs of the COA. This questionnaire will be developed in cooperation with the COA and working group assembled for this purpose, and is expected to be roughly 8 pages long, and include approximately 45 questions. Questions typically cover topics like caregiving, health and functioning, use of community services and long terms services and supports. Specific questions about the preferences for the development of a future community center will be included in the survey. The survey will be a web-response survey, with a mail-in survey option. The COA will obtain an electronic copy of town census information from the Town Clerk, to be shared with the Consultants, including the following information: name, mailing address, gender, and age (year of birth). Consultants will use this list exclusively for research purposes relating to this project. The CSDRA will coordinate with the mail house chosen to print and mail postcards to all residents age 50+ directing them to complete the survey online. This is approximately 5,700 residents. The survey will also be printed and mailed to all residents over age 70, which is approximately 2,500 residents. As well, the survey will be made available online to residents who may be part-time residents or otherwise not reflected on the Town Census list. The online survey will be distributed via the Town website, social media pages, and email lists. Project staff have extensive expertise in creating and administering surveys, as well as collecting and analyzing data, and interpreting results. The University and the Gerontology Institute within the University provide computer/software support for analyzing secondary data, including the statistical program (i.e., SPSS). Our experience suggests that the return rate for a community survey such as this is approximately 20%; in Brewster this return rate would result in roughly 1,140 returned questionnaires. Conduct 3 focus groups in support of the study—For the purposes of hearing about issues relating specifically to the age-friendly domains, the Consultants will conduct three focus groups. Membership of the groups and topics to be covered will be determined in consultation with the 6 Council on Aging. Currently, we anticipate that each group will include 8-12 participants and be comprised of a combination of Town staff, residents, domain experts and community stakeholders. Focus groups will be held at the Brewster Senior Center or another local site. The Brewster Council on Aging is responsible for providing space for the groups and facilitating recruitment of participants Conduct up to five one-on-one interviews with Town officials or other Key Informants— One- on-one in-person interviews with five key informants will be conducted. Key informants will be identified jointly by COA and the Consultants and may include representatives of key offices and organizations such as the Town Administrator, the Select Board, assisted administration, other Town offices, and Town nonprofits. The purpose of key informant interviews is to gain perspective on the adequacy of older adult services in Brewster, identify key service gaps, and to identify ways in which Town leaders are planning for growth in the aging population. Provide an electronic version of the report to the Director of the Brewster Council on Aging and the Board. The Consultant will compile data from all sources developed for this project into a report. The Consultant shall deliver a .pdf version of the report for further distribution as desired. The Consultant may reserve the right to use this report in its materials and to post the report on its website after providing a copy for review and approval by the Town of Brewster. Deliver a presentation of the report to the COA, Town Administration, Select Board and community at large— Key results and implications/recommendations will be presented using PowerPoint slides to key stakeholders, chosen by the Director of the Brewster Council on Aging and the Town Administrator. A PowerPoint slide deck will be provided in electronic form to the Brewster Council on Aging for their unlimited use and distribution. 4.Project Timeline Budget The proposed budget of $25,000 includes all costs associated with data collection, data Dates Scheduled Activities October 2022 Meet to finalize a scope of work and timeline Obtain IRB approval Review Town documents November 2022 Identify and recruit focus group participants Conduct 3 focus groups December 2022 Conduct 5 interviews Obtain mailing list and prepare mailing Draft and review questionnaire content January 2023 Survey is distributed and collected February 2023 Analyze data March 2023 Draft report Submit final report April 2023 Submit final report May 2023 Public presentation of report findings 7 analysis, report production, and presentation. All other project meetings or correspondence will occur via phone and email. The Consultant will bill twice during the project period, with 50% billed upon completion of qualitative data collection (December 2022) and the remaining 50% to be billed upon delivery of the final report (May 2023). Notice: Agreements between local governments and the Center for Social and Demographic Research on Aging (CSDRA) are exempt from the provisions of Chapter 30b, the Uniform Procurement Act, since the University of Massachusetts is an instrumentality of the Commonwealth. Municipalities may negotiate a scope of services and a price with CSDRA directly, saving both time and money.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MARCH 20, 2022 New Video of Sea Camps Pond Property Released Monday, March 20, 2023 (Brewster, MA) – The Pond Property Planning Committee (PPPC) is excited to announce the release of its video, “Introducing the Pond Property”. “It is appropriate that the first showing should be to the Brewster Select Board, as it was their foresight and persistence that got us to where we are today,” stated Doug Wilcock, Chair of the Pond Property Planning Committee (PPPC). The Pond Property Planning Committee (PPPC) has met monthly since April 2022, and has been discussing opportunities for future public access to the property. Currently, no formal parking exists at this location. In order to educate the Brewster community about the property while safe and appropriate access is being determined, the PPPC created the aforementioned video, which provides a virtual tour of the beautiful 66-acre parcel from Route 137 to the shores of Long Pond. Those interested can view the video on the Town website at www.brewster-ma.gov. The Brewster Recreation Department, in partnership with Mass Audubon, will be offering kayak tours to the shore of the Pond Property on June 3, 2023 (rain date June 4). Space is limited and registration is required. Please go to the Brewster Recreation Department page for more information. Additional low-impact activities are being planned. Early in 2022, the Brewster Select Board created two new advisory committees, each consisting of 11 Brewster residents with diverse backgrounds. These committees are responsible for identifying existing conditions; developing short-term public access plans; assembling a public engagement strategy to ensure broad community input; identifying and evaluating potential partner organizations; and developing comprehensive plans for Town Meeting consideration. The Town also hired a landscape architecture firm, Reed Hilderbrand, in November 2022 to provide expert support and design guidance to the committees as future uses of the properties are planned. Both the Pond Property and Bay Property Planning Committees look forward to public engagement workshops in Spring 2023. Residents are encouraged to submit comments or questions about the Pond Property to PPPC@brewster-ma.gov and the Bay Property to BPPC@brewster-ma.gov. Town of Brewster 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631-1898 Phone: (508) 896-3701 Fax: (508) 896-8089 Office of: Select Board Town Administrator Memo To: Brewster Select Board From: Erika Mawn, Executive Assistant Date: March 17, 2023 RE: 2023 Renewal of Seasonal Liquor Licenses The Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission requires the Town of Brewster to complete the seasonal alcoholic beverages licenses renewal process in March of each year. The licensees are required to sign their renewal and submit payment by March 31, 2023. The Local Licensing Authority then votes to renew the licenses which are contingent on compliance with all other local permits and regulations. There are a total of 7 establishments that are up for renewal for 2023: Seasonal General On-Premises- All Alcoholic Beverages •Cape Cod National Golf Club LLC Seasonal General On-Premises- Wines and Malt •Beach House Spa Seasonal Restaurant- All Alcoholic Beverages •JTs Seafood •El Guapo’s Taqueria •The Kitchen Café •Cobies Seasonal Restaurant- Wines and Malt •Breakwater Lobster and Fish Market As part of the process, Department Heads have the opportunity to provide comment on the renewal of these liquor licenses. There were no concerns from Brewster officials with the renewal of these liquor licenses. The Treasurer/Tax Collectors office has verified that all Real Estate and Personal Property taxes are current. Additionally, the public hearing was advertised on March 3 and March 10, 2023. The owner of El Guapo’s Taqueria, Kyle Parker, has not responded to the request for renewal of liquor licenses for the 2023 season. It is my understanding that this business is no longer operating, therefore I recommend not renewing their license. If a business will be operating at this location, they will need to apply for a new liquor license through the Town Manager’s office and the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission. All other managers of these retail locations have provided the Town Manager’s office with their signed application, the payment for their license and the required liquor liability insurance if applicable. For licenses that are approved, the renewal applications and supporting documents will be submitted to the ABCC by March 31, 2023 and the Town Manager’s office will issue the seasonal liquor licenses, which will be valid from April 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. Ad Preview 2/2 SEASONAL RETAIL LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION GUIDELINES Without exception, all seasonal alcoholic beverages licensees are required to renew their alcoholic beverages license by March 31st of each year. All retail license renewal applications must be signed by an authorized corporate officer, individual or partner and filed with the Local Licensing Authority between November 1st and November 30th. Licensees who are in the process of transferring their licenses are required to file the renewal application until the transfer has occurred and they are no longer the licensee of record. Licensees are responsible for correcting any differences between their files and the ABCC license file on the renewal application in red ink. An LLA Certification Form / Form 43 verifying these changes have been ABCC approved must be attached to the license renewal application in order to change the official ABCC license file. Please mail those corrections along with the renewal packet to the ABCC. All on-premises M.G.L. c. 138, §12 licensees must provide proof of the required liquor liability insurance and a copy of the required Fire Safety Inspection Certificate to the Local Licensing Authorities. Please do not forward the Fire Safety Certificates, Insurance Certificates, or License Certificates to the ABCC. You should keep these forms for your records. __________________________________________________________________________________ Please mail the completed below form, all completed renewal certificate forms, and any corrective forms to the ABCC no later than May 15th with no staples included. ABCC c/o Licensing Department 95 Fourth Street, Suite 3 Chelsea, MA 02150 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Any renewal application not signed and filed by March 31st will be treated as a New License.

The Kitchen Café currently holds a Seasonal All Alcohol Beverages, On-Premises Liquor License which was approved by the Local Licensing Authority on March 21, 2022 and approved by the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) on April 29, 2022. The seasonal dates of liquor licenses are April 1 through December 31 each year. The Kitchen Café is requesting to change their classification from Seasonal to Annual All Alcohol Beverages, On-Premises Liquor License. The Town currently has one such license available, since APT Cape Cod released their license in February. The approved premises which was provided by JDT Investments LLC on their original application in March 2022 is not changing and consists of “our street level, 1st floor is for customer service. Our .5 floor is for an office, with access only through the kitchen, no customer access. We will have 2 main indoor dining areas, with an enclosed outdoor patio and an open-air patio.” No other location on the property is approved for alcohol sales or consumption. The hours in which alcohol can be served, will remain the same: Monday through Saturday 8am until 9pm and Sundays 12pm- 9pm. As part of the application process, the Town Manager’s office places an advertisement in the local paper, which was completed. The applicant must also notify abutters of their request for change of classification. On March 16, 2023 I was notified by the attorney that the abutters notification was not sent in time. It is my recommendation that the public hearing be continued until April 3, 2023 at 6:15pm. The applicant will send abutter notification in a timely manner.

Director of Finance & Operations Giovanna Venditti, Principal Clark, and Interim Principal Deneen have each brought forth fiscally responsible operating budgets that support the Nauset District, the School Improvement Plan and the Nauset District Strategic Plan for the 2023-2024 school year. The goals and initiatives in these plans focus on 5 key areas: global competencies, 21st century goals, social - emotional learning, professional development, and community schools. With the pandemic somewhat behind us, we acknowledge that some challenges still exist in our return to 'normal' learning. Our educators continue to strive to increase academic achievement and growth for all of our students, and engage in their own professional growth in order to do so. They also recognize the need to carefully balance this with the increasing demands for social -emotional and mental health supports for our students and staff. Thus, wehave tried to be proactive with these supports, both within the operating budget and in the use of additional federal and state grants, to minimize the impact of the pandemic on learning and community wellness now and in the future.

MTSS is a collaborative problem -solving framework to help schools provide equitable opportunities to address each student's academic, behavioral, and social -emotional needs. It's not a singular program or strategy; instead, it acts as a school -wide umbrella of evidence -based programs, practices, interventions, training, and assessments to create high quality instruction and wellness for all. Schools implementing MISS work to arm stakeholders with what they require to proactively educate the whole child along a tiered continuum. They do this while collaborating to plan for targeted and intensive interventions based on data -driven decision -making. In other words, this structural approach shifts the onus from students onto systems. Removing such obstacles at the systems level heightens our ability to provide all students with an excellent education in the most inclusive environment possible. When implemented thoughtfully, an MTSS framework fosters equity and inclusion to improve student achievement and overall emotional well-being while decreasing disruptive behaviors and special education referrals. These benefits, in turn, positively impact learner outcomes and indicators for securing college and career -ready youth. ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL -EMOTIONAL LEARNING SCREENERS This year the DESSA and i-Ready Screeners were implemented in Math, Reading, and Social -Emotional Learning. These screeners support our ability to make data -driven decision -making for how best to strengthen our tier 1 supports while also offering interventions to struggling students. These screeners will be given in the fall, winter, and spring. Student voice is an essential skill we are fostering at NRMS. in January, students had the opportunity to complete a Social -Emotional Learning (SEL) survey allowing them to share their perspectives in the areas of self -management, emotion regulation, growth mindset, social awareness, and challenging feelings. PANORAMA EDUCATION Panorama is a data -driven program allowing us to look at assessments, grades, attendance, behavior, and SEL data all in one platform to create interventions and track progress to determine what students need academically, social -emotionally, and behaviorally. COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP - BOLAND POND Community partnerships are integral in complementing our curriculum. This year, our partnership with the Orleans Conservation Trust has expanded. The Orleans Conservation Trust has a five-year strategic plan which prioritizes environmental education for young people. In January, they unveiled a new grant program that teachers con access for creative ecological teaching. The Orleans Conservation Trust is committed to cleaning up and renewing the pathways along Boland Pond and creating two new pondside outdoor "classrooms" with bench seating for outdoor lessons. In the first year, the grant program will provide up to $12,500 for each school NRMS teachers are meeting and thinking of ways to collaborate on innovative projects across all academic disciplines. The application process ends in March, enabling the projects to begin in spring or fall. The grant funds can be used for materials, field trips relating to the projects, and teacher professional development. COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP - NRMS PARENT GROUP The NRMS Parent Group has been very active in supporting our school in a myriad of ways. In addition to providing delicious entrees for our teachers during parent/teacher conference nights, they have run several fundraisers such as selling Nouset gear and a holiday wreoth sale, to earn money to support field trips, dances, and other student activities. PROJECT -BASED LEARNING Project -based learning has increased across all grades. Group and team collaboration and competition in creating hands-on projects and initiatives have been important tools in student learning. On Saturday, December 10, the NRMS Warriors Robotics Team competed in their First Lego League Competition at Worcester Polytechnic institute (WPI). The competition was open to students from 4th to 8th grade, and our team competed against many teams who have been working together for nearly five years and have been preparing for this season since August. Given that our Warriors are a brand new team (established in late October), they put an impressive 125 points on the board by having their robot autonomously navigate an obstacle course built with Legos. The judges were incredibly impressed by their enthusiasm, team accomplishments, and how much fun they were having —one of the First Lego League Core Values. As they exited the judging quarters, the students exclaimed in unison, "They were so proud of us!" The following Monday, one student told her Nouset Time teacher, "It was the best day of my life." The team is working diligently to prepare for next year and has solved several more obstacles on this year's course. They ore brainstorming fundraising ideas and are incredibly grateful to the PTO for sponsoring their bus ride to WPI. This month, they will be attending the high school Vex Robotics Competition which NRHS is hosting, and they are ecstatic! Ms. Fleischer's 7th grade science classes showcased their heat -efficient model homes ("Cozy Homes') and lab reports in the school library to each other and a team from Habitat for Humanity of Cape Cod, which has won awards for its green -building initiatives. Students used the engineering design process to build their homes and tested them with the scientific method. A significant goal. of the project wos for students to demonstrate resilience when they encountered failure; they succeeded and wrote stories about their experiences. The Habitat team praised the students for their ingenuity and for exhibiting growth mindsets. Prior to the Open House, the students were assisted in testing and improving their Cozy Homes in the Innovation Lab by parent volunteers, including a project manager at Natick Labs and a custom carpenter. In addition to meeting three state science standards, this project addressed the Strategic Plan/ School Improvement Plan's goal #1 (21st -century skills)/ Objective 3 (Focus Area #2): "Develop student autonomy by providing students with choice in their learning through inquiry -based instruction, project -based instruction, and authentic learning experiences." The Cozy Homes will again be displayed in the library during the Sth-grade Open House. Students in Mr. Simms Adventure Education classes created Medicine Wheels for display. They have worked hard figuring out whot the Four Directions mean and, most importantly, which animal (52 choices) lives in each direction for them. The Medicine Wheel is a mirror into how an individual lives their life and what makes one "infinitely unique". Many students keep their Wheels with them as they continue their journeys in life - into High School, College and beyond. Very em powering. Adventure Education, now in its 12th year at NRMS, is an introspective journey into discovering what makes you infinitely unique. It encompasses Environmental Education and Science, Journal Writing and Artwork, Native Americon History and Culture, Cape Cod Natural and Colonial History, Personal Health and Team -Building Skills. By the end of this school year, 112 grade 7 students and 108 grade 8 students, incLuding 78 in the Advanced Class, will have experienced this once -in -a lifetime opportunity! DI 741 rrrrpACV CO SPA ATcP r NC - In Ms. Pirtle's Computer Science class, 7th graders wrapped up Code.org's challenging JavaScript Unit. An overview of this curriculum is here: Computer Science Liisesverie Seventh graders are ending their Term 2 computer science rotation with hands-on cyber security experience and will apply their new JavaScript coding skills to program a microcomputer to generate random passwords. 8th graders recently completed an Artificial Intelligence unit in which they first engaged in Al simulations of real -world problems and then moved on to program their own machine learning models. Students also debated several ethical questions that are arising as Al has become a part of our everyday lives. We are rounding out the term by flying our brand-new Tello Talent drones. This drone is o significant upgrade from our old Tellos, and together, learners and their teacher are exploring its exciting new features and capabilities. These include a programmable LED dot matrix screen, swarm capabilities, and the ability to code them using Scratch, Swift, Python, or JavaScript. Learn more about our here. SAFE. CARING. & iNCLUSiVE SCHOOL CULTURE AND CLIMATE Everywhere in the building, our school community can see bright, bold signage reinforcing the positive messages (Leaders, Problem Solvers, Growth Mindset, Try New Things, Embrace Challenges, Effective Effort, Life -Long Learners, Safety, Seen, Heard, Valued, Belonging, Caring). NRMS is focused on fostering dignity and belonging in our community through events such as our Community Celebrations, Spirit Days, and Evening Socials. 1lEGT113NAI. MinT7L s HQfli. NAUSET ROCKS -POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL SUPPORTS & INTERVENTIONS (PM) We have had a successful school year promoting our new positive expectations for learning and behavior rooted in our Nauset ROCKS character traits of (Respect, Ownership, Citizenship. Kindness, and Safety). Together, students and staff have agreed (by signing our pledge puzzle) to cultivate safe, caring, and inclusive learning environments. R - Respect (Respecting your and others' bodies, brains and belongs) O - Ownership (Being responsible and accountable.) C - Citizenship (Sharing to make the school and community and the world a better place) K - Kindness (Kindness helps us to learn because it allows us to safely foil. and failing safely is where the learning truly happens.) S - Safety (Every member of our NRMS community deserves to feel safe physically, mentally, and emotionally.) Students earn tickets for positive social and learning behaviors. The tickets are tradeable for other items (charms, erasers, squishies, etc.) at our school store, 'The Duck Depot" Students also participate in "Rock Star" challenges to win the monthly team celebrations. Additionally, NRMS focuses on o different theme based on the Nauset Rocks positive expected behaviors each month. Students who consistently show the Nauset Rocks attributes can earn a "duck" reward. The goal is to have five ducks (one for each character trait) to earn entrance into Duck Day in May. Compared to previous years, behavior referrals have been reduced by 31%. Efforts to reinforce positive "Nauset Rocks" behavior and the addition of a second assistant principal have allowed us to address behavior issues in a unified, consistent manner. NAUSET TIME ADVISORY Homeroom is now called "Nauset Time," a 27 -minute block scheduled at the beginning of each day where students con get what they need to succeed at NRMS. Our Nauset Time initiative is also helping to create a welcoming school culture that promotes positive learner expectations while also building the skills of a growth mindset and effective effort to support students in becoming life-long learners. SOCIAL -EMOTIONAL LEARNING On Wednesdays during Nauset Time, students participate in our Character Strong SEL program focused on belonging, engagement, and well-being. HIGH SCHOOL MENTORS SEMINAR- "Why Middle School Matters" We have partnered with the Nauset Regional High School EARD program (Exploring and Respecting Differences) to bring our HS Mentor Seminar to our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders during Nauset Time. This program helps students to maximize their middle school experience in preparation for a successful transition to high school. Topics include; a sense of belonging, incLusivity, academic mindset, study skills, time management, self -regulation, and handling the freedoms and privileges of high school. SPIRIT DAYS/NRMS COMMUNITY CELEBRATIONS Our student councils, administrators, and counselors plan spirit day activities each month. Different themes have included Nauset Day, Pajoma Day, SuperHero day, Twin - Triplets- and More Day. The spirit days bring fun and enjoyment to student life. Along with monthly themes, the year is peppered with all -school community celebrations. In November, students who earned ROCKS in September and October entered a lottery to play in a floor hockey competition against a guest appearance from the Orleans Police Department. The pep band played, the chorus opened with the National Anthem, and students dressed as mascots and cheerleaders. COOPER OUR THERAPY DOG Cooper, our therapy dog, assists students in class, one-on-one, and in our homework club to help with emotion regulation and managing challenging feelings. Cooper brings a calming and warm presence to our school community, helping staff and students feel safe and supported. FRESH AIR TIME Each day, students enjoy fresh air time with their peers during lunch blocks to promote wellness and peer connections . ALICE TRAINING Staff were able to participate in an interactive, scenario -based ALICE training to prepare staff in how to handle violent intruder events with pro -active options -based strategies. AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES Clubs and activities are an essential part of student life at NRMS. Staff club advisors offer students an array of interest -based after -school. activities. This year's club offerings include Drama Club, Model United Nations, Early Bird Computing Club, National Junior Honor Society, Early Morning Gym, Green Allies Garden Club, Robotics, Art Club, Chess Club, Yearbook, Pride Club, Newspaper Club, Trunks & Turtles Club, as well as a Homework Club where students can go to work on their homework. Students are encouraged to let us know if they are interested in a club yet to be offered. For instance, Rubik's Cube enthusiasts expressed interest in having a Rubik's Cube Club so a club advisor was sought and found. SUNBURST STEAM AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM Our Sunburst STEAM After School program launched off in January for grade 6 students at NRMS. This program provides students with a deep learning experience that is free of charge, using new and emerging technologies, collaborations with community experts, local field trip explorations, and hands-on activities to encourage innovation and creative design. SPORTS & INTRAMURALS Interscholastic Sports: Students in grades seven and eight may try out for our interscholastic teams in soccer, cross country, field hockey, basketball, softball, baseball, and track and field. Students who agree to join our sports teams must commit themselves to the team through each season and demonstrate good sportsmanship. To be eligible to participate in interscholastic sports, students must hove passed a physical examination prior to participating in the sport. One such physical examination normally covers the student for the entire school year, but the school district reserves the right to require more than one physical examination during a given year if deemed to be in the best interest of the school district and/or student athlete. Students must complete an online concussion certification course and submit the certificate to the athletic director or coach. This must be completed once per year. Intramural sports: We have after -school intramural activities for students in grades 6, 7, & 8 in good standing. This program offers o variety of sports activities such as floor hockey, basketball, weight training and others to be determined by student and staff input.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Stony Brook Mill 2.69 acre site is divided east and west by Stony Brook- the “Herring Run” and into north and south sections by Stony Brook Road. A historic Grist Mill building and Mill Ponds are located on the south side, with historic foundations and paths on the north side. The Lower Mill Pond dam was historically constructed to increase water levels in the pond for power for the Mill, as well as to provide passage for migratory fish into the headwater ponds. Lower Mill Pond is one of the five headwater ponds of the Stony Brook watershed, and a destination for diadromous (migratory) fish. A water control device is installed in the dam to control water into the headrace pond which operates the mill. The retaining wall supporting this pond is failing and is in danger of collapse. Some of the base stones are displaced, and the wall needs to be reconstructed. The wall forms the western side of the fish run. In order to function safely as intended, wall need to be rehabilitated or replaced. The Town plans to replace the retaining wall in order to protect the diadromous (migratory) fish run. The failing wall is an historic landmark that cannot be removed and that provides a boost to the local economy through tourism. The headrace pond and the fish passage channel are separated by a narrow berm retained on both sides with stone masonry walls. These walls, as well as the stone masonry wall along the fish pool just upstream of the Stony Brook Road culvert, are in distress and require replacement. The Millsites Committee intends to keep the current appearance of the walls; therefore, the design will include re-using existing stones on the face of the new walls, which are expected to consist of reinforced, cast in place concrete, similar to the recent dam reconstruction. While some exposed concrete is present at the dam, no concrete will be exposed on the new walls. Issues to be addressed at the site; Renovation of one of the defining historic resources at the site, the large stone retaining wall that forms the west side of the stream. CPC funding will preserve the historic look and feel of the property, including funding for stonework and site improvements to make the replacement retaining wall fit at a historic property.

The Stony Brook Valley was their first settlement due to the numerous natural resources: ample salt meadows, fresh water with strong tidal flows for mills, woodlands for fuel, a herring fishery, nearness to Cape Cod Bay. The first Grist Mill was built at Stony Brook in 1662 and other mills soon followed. A fulling mill (in cloth production- a cleansing and thickening process) was built circa 1700; additionally a tidal mill was built on Stony Brook around 1750. A tannery stood on one bank of the millstream, a part of the "Factory Village" until it was destroyed by fire in 1871 and never rebuilt. Opposite the tannery, the present gristmill was built in 1873 on the foundation of the fulling mill, which had burned in 1760 and was then rebuilt as a woolen mill in 1814. The “Factory Village” brought people from all over looking to buy cloth, boots, and food. Maritime industries in Brewster peaked in the 1850’s and declined during the Civil War, with the loss of the southern markets and slave-dependent industries. However, land-based industries such as the Factory Village at the Stony Brook Mill continued to thrive. Additional history and information on the Herring Run is on the DVD, Stony Brook, The Story of Stony Brook Valley, which is available upon request. Restoration of a significant important town-owned historic resource: The retaining wall forms the west side of the herring run, and also allows the impoundment of water in the headrace pond that provides water to the newly replaced water wheel of the grist Mill, turning the mill stone. The wall is leaking and slumping, its structure failing as toe stones in the wall are displaced. Protect the historical function of a site: This property was accepted on the National Historic Register on June 15, 2000. Repair of the site must not only maintain the fishway and use of the mill, but must also be done in such a manner so as to not affect the historical integrity of the Old Mill Site. Preservation/protection of the Stony Brook Herring Run and the Grist Mill Site provide an important public benefit: Today the Brewster Mill Sites Committee maintains the Old Grist Mill. The Mill also houses a display of many artifacts used throughout the Mill’s history. Adjacent to the Mill are walkways that allow visitors to observe how the water wheel works to grind corn, producing cornmeal which is then bagged for sale. The retaining wall also serves as a walkway on the west side of the fish run and east side of the headrace pond. Open Space Protection: Restoration of the stone retaining walls and Herring Run will preserve habitat of threatened and endangered species Enhancement and protection of an existing wildlife corridor Brewster Natural Resources Department –Community Preservation Application November 25, 2020 Page 4 Preservation and protection of important surface water bodies, including ponds and waterways Providing opportunities for passive recreation and environmental education Providing access to water (Stony Brook and Lower Mill Pond) Providing flood control/storage Providing connections with existing trails or potential trail linkages. Over the last twenty years, Brewster has preserved an additional 1,000 acres surrounding the headwater ponds; approximately 400 acres of salt marsh, beach and uplands in lower portion of Stony Brook Valley, all of which provide habitat support. The project will provide improved fish passage to 386 acres of habitat in the headwater ponds; Lower Mill, Upper Mill, Walkers, Slough and Canoe Ponds. Each spring, the Alewives and other species travel up fish ladders maintained by the Brewster Alewife Committee. These fish are known are diadromous (incorporating both anadromous and catadromous species), species that use both marine and freshwater habitats during their life cycle. On Cape Cod, some species are anadromous (living primarily at sea, but migrating up river to spawn): these include Alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus), Blueback Herring (Alosa aestivalis), Hickory Shad (Alosa mediocris), Brook Trout (Salmo trutta) and Rainbow Trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss). The only catadromous (living primarily in ponds and rivers, but migrating out to sea to spawn) species in this run is the American Eel (Anguilla rostrata).The fish come from Cape Cod Bay and travel up Stony Brook to reach headwater ponds. This is the best run on Cape Cod and Brewster’s most productive run. Once open for fishing, the run has been closed by the state for many years due to declining herring populations. Over the past few years, the Alewives Committee and the Natural Resources Department have obtained a number of grants which have allowed them to engineer stormwater improvements at the site, along the Stony Brook Valley and to correct a tidal restriction at Route 6A. The Alewife Committee identified needed repairs to a deteriorating retaining wall adjacent to the run on the north side of the road, as well as to eroding banks and pathways along the run. The proposed solution involved repair and enhancement of the retaining wall by supplementing remaining vegetation with native plantings in conjunction with bioengineering measures which quickly re-stabilized the bank. This work also greatly benefited the numerous vertebrates and invertebrates that inhabit the stream and the marsh, where the Brook joins with Paines Creek and then flows into the bay, by reducing sedimentation and water turbity. There are a number of aquaculture grants in this part of the Bay which could be negatively affected by sedimentation from this Brook. This repair work has greatly reduced sedimentation into the run during storm events. The Town has also used grant monies to pay for Walkers, Upper & Lower Mill Ponds Water Quality Studies, which are on-going. This application specifically deals with restoration of the stone retaining wall adjacent to the headrace pond. This also includes evaluation and maintenance of the pools in the run between the road and Lower Mill Pond. Maintaining the run and improving the ladders enhances and protects this important wildlife corridor. All of the restoration work allows the site to remain open and functioning as it did in the 1600’s, providing opportunities for passive recreation, historical and environmental education. The Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) has been contacted and has responded indicating that the project site is within Priority Habitat 1385 and Estimated Habitat 71 and must be reviewed by NHESP. Recreation Enhancement: Support multiple active and passive recreation uses Serve a significant number of residents and visitors Expand the range of recreational opportunities available to all ages of Brewster residents and visitors Brewster Natural Resources Department –Community Preservation Application November 25, 2020 Page 5 Benefit other Brewster committees providing recreational resources to residents Support multiple active and passive recreation uses: serve a significant number of residents and visitors. The Stony Brook Herring Run and Grist Mill has long been one of Brewster’s most popular visitor sites. It is a regional attraction. Adjacent to the Mill are walkways that allow visitors to observe how the water wheel works to grind corn, producing cornmeal which is then bagged for sale. The property has numerous pathways designed to maximize access to the water, with over 1000 feet along the stream and 600 feet of frontage on the Lower Mill great pond. On each side of Stony Brook Road, families can stand on walkways and watch the annual fish migration, with its attending horde of gulls that periodically swoop down to catch a bite for dinner. Provide connections with existing trails or potential trail linkages. Brewster Conservation Trust recently purchased adjacent landlocked property along Lower Mill Pond. The Town will construct a stream crossing and pathway to provide access for the public to this property and its additional shorefront property on Lower Mill Pond, including a local landmark, the “Fishing Rock”. (Attachment 3 e) 3. COMMUNITY BENEFITS: The Stony Brook Valley, Herring Run and Millsites are important historic resources and as such are important to Brewster’s unique character. As major tourist attractions, these resources boost the vitality of the Town. Preservation of these assets serves more than one of the four CPA purposes: preservation of Open Space, preservation/rehabilitation of Historic Resources and preservation of Recreational lands. This project also serves to preserve, enhance and better utilize an existing Town resource. And, the Millsite property is the Town’s first town Open Space parcel. The project also saves resources that would otherwise be threatened (river herring, a threatened species of special concern . The Town has an award-winning project team helping with permitting, fish ladder design, and engineering, to include the state Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF), the Cape Cod Conservation District, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and our engineering firm, Tighe & Bond. The project is funded more that 50% through grant funds from our federal partner NRCS. 4. COMMUNITY SUPPORT: . The Town has leveraged many partners to provide funding for these projects, as detailed in the attached budget worksheet. This site is popular with all ages. Many school groups visit via bus, especially in the spring during the Herring Run. Over the last few years the Mill Site has added a “Mills & Gills” festival which connects the historic activities at the site with environmental education on the Herring Run. 5. TIMELINE: The Stony Brook Retaining Wall Improvement project has been underway for two years and as indicated above a substantial amount of the work has already been completed. The following timeline is specifically for the retaining wall restoration. It must be noted that any site work involving the pond/dam/fish run is extremely constrained based on the migratory cycle of the fish.

The CCCD is a major project sponsor and coordinates with town sponsors to implement projects that meet the objectives of the CCWRRP as approved by Congress in 2009. The CCWRRP broadly focuses on watershed protection and fish and wildlife habitat improvement and specifically on projects that restore anadromous fish passage, projects that remediate stormwater that improve water quality for shellfish growing areas, and salt marsh restoration projects that restore tidal flows to tidally-restricted marshes. Background The Stony Brook Grist Mill and Museum is located at 830 Stony Brook Road in Brewster, Massachusetts. The existing Grist Mill and surrounding property are owned by the Town of Brewster and are overseen by the Mill Sites Committee1 (Collectively the Client). The Site dates back to the sixteen-hundreds and has great historical significance. In addition, the Stony Brook and the Mill ponds are thriving fish spawning routes. The Lower Mill Pond Dam is located south of the existing Grist Mill. The dam which is approximately 100-foot long was rehabilitated in 2013 with the construction of a new reinforced concrete retaining wall replacing the old stone masonry wall. Flow is discharged from the Lower Mill Pond though the primary spillway located on the east side of the dam and down the existing fish passage channel, or through a slide gate on the west side of the dam and down the headrace pond to the Grist Mill. The headrace pond and the fish passage channel are separated by a narrow berm retained on both sides with stone masonry walls. These walls, as well as the stone masonry wall along the fish DocuSign Envelope ID: 55FA3601-52E1-48F4-9C3F-215E1A221C05 DocuSign Envelope ID: 606AE354-7D70-4C5B-A631-9A607F1FF29D Cape Cod Conservation District / CCWRRP-II 03/23/2020 draft pool just upstream of the Stony Brook Road culvert, are in distress and require replacement. T he Millsites Committee intends to keep the current appearance of the walls; therefore, the design will include re-using existing stones on the face of the new walls, which are expected to consist of reinforced, cast in place concrete, similar to the recent dam reconstruction. While some exposed concrete is present at the dam, no concrete will be exposed on the new walls. The proposed improvements consist of a new retaining wall separating the Grist Mill headrace pond and the fish ladder channel, and a new retaining wall for fish pool just upstream of the Stony Brook Road culvert. The tasks described below include performing additional survey to evaluate the fishway profile for the entire fishway and preparing plans and technical specifications for the construction of the proposed retaining walls. Agreement NOW THEREFORE, The CCCD and the Town of Brewster, MA do mutually agree as follows: Employment of Contractor: The CCCD hereby agrees to engage the Town of Brewster to perform the services described in the Scope of Work below. 1.

Tighe & Bond is pleased to submit this proposal for improvements to the existing Stony Brook Grist Mill Pond retaining walls. The proposed improvements consist of a new retaining wall separating the Grist Mill headrace pond and the fish ladder channel, and a new retaining wall for fish pool just upstream of the Stony Brook Road culvert. Tighe & Bond has prepared this scope of work and proposed fee based on our discussions to date, a site visit performed on October 23, 2019 and an existing record drawing set entitled “Lower Mill Pond Dam Rehabilitation, Brewster, Massachusetts” prepared by Tighe & Bond dated August 2012. The tasks described below include performing additional survey to evaluate the fishway profile and preparing plans and technical specifications for the construction of the proposed retaining walls. It is our understanding that permit application for this project will be performed by the Town as a cost savings measure, but we can provide these services if needed. Bid document preparation, bidding assistance, and construction phases services are not included since they cannot be properly defined until the design is complete and potential permit conditions are known. Project Understanding The Stony Brook Grist Mill and Museum is located at 830 Stony Brook Road in Brewster, Massachusetts. The existing Grist Mill and surrounding property are owned by the Town of Brewster and are overseen by the Mill Sites Committee1 (Collectively the Client). The Site dates back to the sixteen-hundreds and has great historical significance. In addition, the Stony Brook and the Mill ponds are thriving fish spawning routes. The Lower Mill Pond Dam is located south of the existing Grist Mill. The dam which is approximately 100-foot long was rehabilitated in 2013 with the construction of a new reinforced concrete retaining wall replacing the old stone masonry wall. Flow is discharged from the Lower Mill Pond though the primary spillway located on the east side of the dam and down the existing fish passage channel, or through a slide gate on the west side of the dam and down the headrace pond to the Grist Mill. The headrace pond and the fish passage channel are separated by a narrow berm retained on both sides with stone masonry walls. These walls, as well as the stone masonry wall along the fish pool just upstream of the Stony Brook Road culvert, are in distress and require replacement. It is our understanding that the Millsites Committee intends to keep 1 https://www.brewster-ma.gov/history-of-factory-village-and-stony-brook-grist-mill - 2 - the current appearance of the walls; therefore, the design will include re-using existing stones on the face of the new walls, which are expected to consist of reinforced, cast in place concrete, similar to the recent dam reconstruction. While some exposed concrete is present at the dam, we understand that no concrete will be exposed on the new walls. Both headrace pond and fish pool have been partially filled in with sediment. As a result, another design goal is to dredge these areas, if costs are within the Town’s financial means. Tighe & Bond will use the topographic survey from our dam re-construction design. Geotechnical Design Services Task 1.0: Field Survey Tighe & Bond will subcontract a Massachusetts licensed surveyor to perform an on-the- ground field survey to obtain the existing conditions of the fish passage located on the north and south side of Stony Brook Road at the Stony Brook Fishway. The survey will include the fishway profile from the exit of the Lower Mill pond to the fishway entrance at the downstream marsh. The total area is approximately 0.80 acres. The survey will locate retaining walls, elevations at the weir notch or sill, weir top of wall, pool floor elevations at each of the pools, dimensions of each pool width and length, dimensions of each weir (sill width and top width), culvert inverts, size, material and condition, top and bottom of fishway walls along each pool, edge of water at enough locations to define the shape of each pool, the top and bottom of the wall forming the Lower Millpond and inverts for drainage and sewer structures found in the area. A minimum of 2 benchmarks will be established north and south of the Stony Brook Road. No boundary or right of way survey’s will be performed. The right of ways and property lines will be taken from GIS and Assessors maps and therefore will be shown as approximate. Field work will be conducted to produce plans at a scale of 1” = 40’ with 1’ contours. Data will be provided on the same project datum previously established is on the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System of NAD 1983 and vertically on NAVD 1988. The new survey will be merged with the existing survey. Existing Conditions plan and profile in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018 and delivered in electronic file format along with pdf’s and hard copies. Drawings will show the fishway in a plan view with matching profile below the plan view. Plans stamped by a Massachusetts Professional Land Surveyor will be provided upon request. Task 2.0: Retaining Wall Drawings Tighe & Bond will prepare draft and final plans, technical specifications, opinion of probable cost and operation and maintenance plan, for review by the Client. We will provide up to seven technical specifications necessary for the re-construction of the wall improvements. Our scope includes preparation of the following sections in the Construction Specifications Institute 1995 format: · 02200 Site Preparation · 02210 Subsurface Investigations · 02225 Selective Demolition · 02315 Excavation, Backfill, Compaction and Dewatering · 02320 Borrow Materials · 02921 Vegetative Support Material, Hydroseeding and Mulching - 3 - · 03100 Concrete Forms and Accessories, Cast-in-Place Concrete and Concrete Reinforcement It should be noted that each of the specifications will include a section addressing Quality Assurance to be implemented during construction. We will provide a maximum of ten Drawing Sheets. The Contract Drawings will include the following sheets: · Cover Sheet; · General Notes and Legend; · Existing Condition Plan and Profile and Site Preparation Plan (up to 2 sheets); · Proposed Condition Plan (up to 2 sheets); · Cross Sections; · Details (up to 2 sheets); · Structural Notes and Details. The operation and maintenance plan will include the following sections: · Vegetation management plan; · Re-pointing of the stone-masonry wall veneer; · Structural aspects of new concrete wall. Plans and specifications will be delivered according to the following stages: · Kickoff Meeting – Tighe & Bond, along with town, NRCS and CCCD representatives shall participate in a kickoff meeting to review the project objectives, survey plan, design process and requirements, schedule, and reviews and approvals. · New Survey – Tighe & Bond will submit the new survey, integrated with the existing survey from the dam re-construction project, for review by the Town Fish Passage Specialist. o Prior to the 33% deliverable, the Town Fish Passage Specialist will review survey and assess whether changes are needed in the fishway passage near the retaining wall to be improved. o The Town Fish Passage Specialist will eventually prepare a conceptual design of the fishway passage (south) for Tighe & Bond to incorporate into the 33% design, if changes to the fishway passage to be incorporated in the retaining wall design are needed. Tighe & Bond will meet with the Town Fish Passage Specialist to discuss fishway improvements and preliminary wall design. o Tighe & Bond will prepare a separate contract amendment for additional design services to include the required retaining wall design based on the Town Fish Passage Specialist conceptual design, if modifications are needed. · 33% Draft Plans – Tighe & Bond will prepare preliminary design plans at the 33% level for review and comments by the Client. Tighe & Bond will conduct a conference call with the Client to present the 33% plans to discuss the design and address the Town’s questions and comments. · 67% Draft Plans - Tighe & Bond will incorporate comments from the Client at the 33% level and will move forward with design. Tighe & Bond will provide updated plans for review at the 67% level and conduct a conference call to discuss the Town’s questions and comments.

The unique industrial heritage of Stony Brook/Factory Village has been preserved by the Town of Brewster as the Stoney [sic] Brook Mill Sites. Set aside in 1940 for public use and enjoyment, this historic property is focused on Stony Brook, and encompasses land on its east and west banks, both north and south of Stony Brook Road. Since its purchase in 1940, limited improvements to enhance public access, safety, and interpretation have been made. They include clearing underbrush, laying out unpaved footpaths, constructing wooden footbridges, adding a small surface parking lot and picnic benches, restoring the grist mill building, restoring the Mill Site dam, and erecting a few small interpretative signs and plaques. Stony Brook/Factory Village also represents one of the earliest conscious acts of historic preservation in Barnstable County. Its historical significance and special sense of place was recognized in the late-1930s by a broad-based coalition that included local citizens and officials, property owners, and the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. Through their efforts, the "Old Grist Mill" and lands immediately adjacent to Stony Brook were purchased by, or donated to, the town for use as a museum and cultural/recreational site. The entire Stony Brook/Factory Village area was included within the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District in 1973, and has been subject to design review since 1975. Together, those two early preservation efforts, have helped Stony Brook/Factory Village to survive as the region's best preserved historic industrial village, and to maintain an unusually high degree of historic integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and associations. The Mill Site was nominated to the National Registry of Historic Places in May of 2000. Office of: Select Board Town Administrator Doc ID: d01ba9bb71f328af398656d156a9a7cb5c7f56ac The Retaining Wall project aims to preserve and restore the existing stone retaining walls that form the boundary of the Stony Brook channel. The existing loose laid stone retaining walls are showing signs of collapse and erosion of the materials behind the walls. The walls also supports the headrace pond that is used to power the mill wheel. The project aims to reconstruct a properly engineered retaining wall that would then be faced with the existing stones to preserving the historic character of the site. The goal is to not show any concrete and to retain the historic look of the walls. The Brewster Natural Resources Department has obtained grant funds to perform the engineering design and for the majority of the construction costs. We urge you to provide Community Preservation Funding to assist with final permitting and local match to the federal construction grant.

I have reviewed the petitioned articles and related materials, and the attached doc uments that y ou forwarded. Article 1 s eeks to prohibit the Town from spending money previously appropriated for the W ing Is land Boardwalk project. Moot; Not s pecific . The artic le does not identify any particular appropriations to whic h it will apply and is general in nature. As I understand the facts , the Town has already s pent all of the money the Town appropriated by Town Meeting s pecifically for this project, i.e., $50K, and the article would be moot with regard to such expenditures. Further, the article does not specifically referenc e any partic ular appropriations , but nevertheless purports to limit the Town’s ability to ex pend departmental and other operating funds in connection with this project. In my opinion, the article is not in proper form to accomplish the same. Following the appropriation of funds for the FY2023 operating budget, such funds may be ex pended cons is tent with the purpos es specified. A general and unspec ific article c annot limit Town offic ials from expending previously authorized funding in a manner c onsistent with such appropriation. For all these reasons, in my opinion, this portion of the artic le is flawed in that it does not identify the particular appropriations to whic h it applies and in my opinion, a vote on the article as written would provide only a “s ense of the meeting” on this topic . Selec t Board has J urisdic tion Over Expenditure of Gifts and Grants . W ith regard to ex penditure of grant funds, as the petitioners recognize, Town Meeting has no authority to res tric t or restrain the same, in my opinion. In ac cord with G.L. c .44, §53A, the Select Board, in c onnection with this projec t , has exc lusive juris diction over whether to acc ept and expend gift or grant funds from private individuals or entities , or from the state. As s uc h, any vote taken under this artic le with regard to such matters would cons titute only a “sense of the meeting”, and would not be legally binding on the Select Board. Thus, in my opinion, even if Town Meeting were to approve this article, the Selec t Board would not be prohibited from using gift or grant funds for the purposes for which they have been given, inc luding paying for any work performed before the termination of the Horsely W itten Group c ontrac t at iss ue. Town Has Legal Ob ligation to Pay for W ork Performed Prior t o Contrac t Termination. The artic le provides further that if Town Meeting approves the artic le, invoic es “received by the date of the warrant for this Special Town Meeting” could s till be paid. In my opinion, however, the Town has a legal obligation to pay for work undertak en at its request and may only terminate a contract without penalty in acc ord with the relevant terms . I have reviewed the Horsely W itten Group contract (attac hed) and Sec tion 13(b) provides explicitly that the Town may terminate the contract with 10 days notic e. Further, it s tates that the Town will be res pons ible for payment for all work performed until the termination date. Failure to pay for such work would, in my opinion, c onstitute a breach of contract and could ex pose the Town to s ignificant liability. Article 2 s eeks to trans fer the W ing Island land, acquired by a taking in 1961 for “public beac h and rec reation area” purposes, from the Selec t Board to the Conservation Commiss ion for “c onservation, open space and passive education” purpos es . The petitioners s tate that this is, in fact, the manner in whic h the land has been held and used s ince its ac quis ition, and, therefore, that they seek to align formal custody and c ontrol with the c urrent use of the property. Thus, t he ques tion aris es as to whether such land is subjec t to Article 97 constitutional protec tions . In the event that Artic le 97 protec tions do not apply to this land, in my opinion, a two-step proc es s is required to make such a transfer. In acc ord with G.L. c.40, §15A, the board with custody and c ontrol of the property, here, the Selec t Board, must determine that the land is no longer needed for the purposes for which it is held. Further, Town Meeting must, by a 2/3 vote, approve the transfer. Cas e law es tablishes that there is no required s equence in which these events oc cur. Board of Selec tmen of Hanson v. Lindsay, 444 Mass. 502 (2005). In Artic le 97, the Legislature has declared a public purpose of protecting the cons ervation, development and utilization of the agricultural, mineral, fores t, water, air and other natural resourc es of the Commonwealth, by prohibiting land and easements ac quired or tak en for such purposes to be used for anot her purpose ex cept as approved by laws enac ted by a two-thirds vote of both houses of the Legislature. Public property may gain the protections of Article 97 when it is tak en or acquired for the purpos e of protecting the cons ervation, development and utilization of the agricultural, mineral, fores t, water, air and other natural resourc es of the Commonwealth, or when it is spec ific ally designated for such a purpose through a deed or res tric tion recorded against the property. Hanson, 444 Mass. 502. The determination of whether property held by the Town is protected by Article 97 requires a highly fac t-spec ific determination regarding the manner in which the propert y was ac quired, how it has been used, and ac tions tak en to prevent it from being used for other purpos es . Questions involving Article 97 are often subject to reasonable differenc es of opinion, and the Supreme Judicial Court’s interpretation of the Article has been evolving over time to ex pand its reach. That being said, based on my careful cons ideration of the fac ts at is sue in this matter, in my opinion the land at issue is lik ely to be found by a reviewing court to be protected by Article 97. Here, the property was tak en over 50 years ago for “public beach and recreation area” purpos es . Although it is arguable that the 1961 vot e is not entirely c lear as to what is meant by “rec reation”, I understand that the Town has us ed this land s ince it was ac quired for c onservation, open space, and pass ive education purpos es . I unders tand further that various Town documents detail the continued use of the property for s uc h purpos es , the matter has been debated at numerous meetings and public hearings , and the use of the property has been considered by Town Meeting on various oc casions. The Supreme Judicial Court in its dec is ion in Smith v. City of W es tfield, 478 Mass . 49 (2017) ex panded the reach of Article 97 to inc lude land that was not acquired for Article 97 purposes, but that was subs equently permanently dedic ated for s uc h a us e. Specifically, in that case, the Court held that land may be subjec t to Artic le 97 where a city or town dedicates land as a public park through a c lear and unequivocal intent to dedicate the land permanently as a public park and where the public ac cepts such use by actually using t he land as a public park . The Smith c ourt found that this standard was met where the City actually us ed land for play ground purpos es for more than sixty years, it formally trans ferred the property to the playground commission and, most significantly, by acc epting federal grant funds to rehabilitate the playground, it agreed that the property would be permanently restricted for that use. In this case, it appears, therefore, in my opinion, the land was acquired and used for Article 97 purpos es . In order to trans fer an interest in land protected by Article 97, there are three s eparate steps that must occur – a determination by the c us todian of the land that that the land is no longer needed for its current purpose, approval of the transfer by a 2/3 vote of Town Meeting, and approval by a 2/3 vote by both houses of the General Court. The article is flawed, in my opinion, in that it does not authoriz e the Selec t Board to file a petition for special legislation. In addition, note that rec ent legislation has added additional requirements a community must undertake or meet in connec tion with a petition for special legislation to change the custody or use of Article 97 land, which legislation expands the requirements of the long-establis hed EOEA policy . See here to review the text of Chapter 274 of the Acts of 2022, whic h inserted a new §5A in Chapter 3 of the General Laws. Article 3 proposes to rescind the November 15, 2021 Special Town Meeting vote under Article 12 to accept the 2021 Drummer Boy Park Master Plan. In my opinion, the vote to “acc ept” the 2021 Drummer Boy Master Plan reflec ted the sens e of the November 15, 2021 Special Town Meeting (ac ceptanc e or approval of a master plan is not required by state or local law) as to the master plan. The current Town Meeting may, of course, elect to indicate it no longer s upports the 2021 Drummer Boy Park Mas ter Plan, that it rejects the plan, or to refer that plan bac k to committee for further consideration. A vote under this article would, in my opinion, c onstitute a sense of the 2023 Special Town Meeting as to the 2021 Drummer Boy Master Plan.

Legislative Update: Codification of Requirements for Disposition or Alternative Use of Property and Interests Subject to Article 97 February 16, 2023 On November 17, 2022, the Governor signed into law Chapter 274 of the Acts of 2022, known as the Public Lands Preservation Act (the “Act”). The Act adds Section 5A to Chapter 3 of the Massachusetts General Laws, and sets forth the requirements municipalities must follow when changing the use or disposing of property subject to Article 97 of the Amendments to the Constitution of the Commonwealth (“Article 97”). The provisions of the Act mirror a long-standing policy of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (“EOEEA”) on the disposition or change of use of properties subject to Article 97. Article 97 was approved on November 7, 1972, and applies retroactively. It states, in relevant part, that “[t]he people shall have the right to clean air and water, freedom from excessive and unnecessary noise, and the natural, scenic, historic, and esthetic qualities of their environment; and the protection of the people in their right to the conservation, development and utilization of the agricultural, mineral, forest, water, air and other natural resources is hereby declared to be a public purpose.” Article 97 further provides that “[l]ands and easements taken or acquired for such purposes shall not be used for other purposes or otherwise disposed of except by laws enacted by a two thirds vote, taken by yeas and nays, of each branch of the general court.” In essence, Article 97 provides that if a municipality acquires land for a purpose protected under Article 97, it may not convey that land or change its use without a two-thirds roll call vote of each house of the Legislature. Recent cases have held that Article 97 may also apply to land that, after its original acquisition, is expressly dedicated to purposes protected under Article 97. See Mahajan v. Department of Environmental Protection, 464 Mass. 604 (2013). The Act sets forth a three-step process that must be followed when a municipality disposes of or changes the use of Article 97 land. A municipality must: (1) Notify the public and the Secretary of EOEEA (“Secretary”) of the planned disposition and conduct an alternatives analysis to show that there is no feasible alternative to disposition or change in use. This analysis must be submitted to the Secretary; (2) Identify replacement property which is not already subject to Article 97 that has equal or greater natural resource value, acreage, and monetary value. Natural resource value is determined by the Secretary, and acreage and monetary value is determined by an appraisal of the fair market value or value in use, whichever is greater; and 617.556.0007 | 1.800.548.3522 | www.k-plaw.com | ©2022 KP Law, P.C. (3) Take, acquire, or dedicate the replacement land or interest identified in perpetuity for Article 97 purposes. The Secretary may waive or modify the second and third requirements under two, limited, circumstances: • The disposition is only for the transfer of legal control between two public entities and does not involve any other change; or • The parcel is not of significant natural resource and recreation value, is less than 2,500 square feet, and the transfer serves a significant public interest. Additionally, the Act allows funding, or a combination of funding and replacement land, to be provided instead of replacement land in certain circumstances. This is only allowed if the Secretary reports the following findings to the Legislature: • The proposed disposition or change in use serves a significant public interest; • The proposed disposition or change in use will have no adverse impacts on an “Environmental Justice Population,” as defined in M.G.L. c. 30, § 62; • An alternatives analysis has been submitted to the Secretary which demonstrates that there is no feasible alternative to disposition or change in use; and • There is no feasible replacement land which meets the requisite criteria, as discussed above. If all four requirements are found by the Secretary, a public entity may then provide funding in combination with or instead of replacement land, subject to the following conditions: • The amount of funding provided is no less than 110% of the fair market value or value in use of the property, whichever is greater. The fair market value is determined by the Secretary following an independent appraisal; • For municipal land, the funding must be held in the Community Preservation Fund or a similar segregated account established for land preservation purposes, and dedicated solely for the acquisition of land for Article 97 purposes; and • The funds must be used within three years to acquire replacement land in a comparable location and dedicated in perpetuity for Article 97 purposes. The Secretary must issue an annual report by December 15th of each year of all instances in which funding was provided instead of replacement land, said report to include the amount of funds provided, the account which the funds were deposited into, whether or not the funds have been used to acquire replacement land, and, if so, a description of the land acquired. Lastly, a procedure is laid out for petitioning the Legislature to authorize the disposition or use for another purpose of Article 97 property. All petitions must include: • The alternatives analysis; • A description of the replacement land or interest, if applicable; 617.556.0007 | 1.800.548.3522 | www.k-plaw.com | ©2022 KP Law, P.C. • A copy of the appraisal; • A copy of any waiver or modification granted, if applicable; and • A copy of the report of the findings of the Secretary which would allow for funding to be provided instead of a replacement property, if applicable. The Act codifies a long-standing administrative policy of EOEEA for the “No Net Loss” of Article 97 land. It is intended to bring transparency and accountability to the process where Article 97 property is conveyed or converted to a different use, and ensures that public lands cannot be developed for other uses, absent an analysis of alternatives and the dedication of equivalent natural resource value in replacement.

Hodges,154 Sunnyside Road, Schoharie, NY 12157 Nbhodges154@yahoo.com 518 339-8156 Dear Mary Chaffee, March 7, 2023 I am ecstatic that the marshes of Wing Island will be safe. One motto I have tried to live by since my Girl Scout days, is 'leave a place better than you found it.' I believe strongly in modeling this and have since taught it to my children and grandchildren. Stewardship over the land, sea, and air began a long time ago. Genesis 1:15, 'God establishes man and woman in the garden and tells them to cultivate and take care of it.' Genesis 1:28, "...dominion over the fish, birds and every living thing." One definition of land stewardship: the conservation of your property's natural resources and features over a long period of time. (https://vision2.com). You have chosen to do this for your community, stewardship. It has become your responsibility to secure this small corner of the world for future generations. 'Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards...' (Another definition of steward): 'an overseer or manager... providing protection, trust, supervision, governance, oversight, conservancy, maintenance, safe -keeping, guardianship, control, management.' (https://vision2.com). According to some: "We have forgotten how to be good guests, how to walk lightly on the earth as its other creatures do." Barbara Ward. "The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose thanks will not be heard." Gaylord Nelson. "Because nature is free, we often take it for granted and over exploit it. We clear forests, pollute rivers and build over wetlands without taking account of the benefits we get from nature. We create huge social and economic costs for ourselves." Karen Ellis Finally, a few last thoughts of others: "The earth will not continue to offer its harvest except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations." John Paul II. "Nature is painting for us day after day pictures of infinite beauty." John Ruskin. "Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries." Jimmy Carter. The boardwalk and all that black paving tar would have been permanent, man-made structures interfering with and changing the beautiful and important natural habitat of the West Brewster marshes' wholesome existence. I hope you will feel encouraged that following the process brought a beneficial solution to maintaining our special marshes and wildlife while still allowing for others enjoyment now and for future generations. With gratitude yours, Nor a Dillingham Hodg daLe Meadow Dibble | 92 Columbia Rd. #2 | Portland, ME 04103 Cynthia Bingham, Select Board Mary Chaffee, Select Board Ned Chatelain, Select Board Kari Hoffmann, Select Board David Whitney, Select Board Peter Lombardi, Town Manager Donna Kalinick, Assistant Town Manager Brewster Town Offices 2198 Main Street Brewster, MA 02631 Monday, March 13, 2023 Dear Members of the Select Board and Administrators of the Town of Brewster, I was born in Brewster and spent nearly a decade raising my own children there. In 2016, I experienced a brutal awakening to the reality of my hometown’s deep investment in slavery. It was this discovery that led me to found Atlantic Black Box, a nonprofit that empowers communities throughout New England to research and begin reckoning with local complicity in the slave trade and the global economy of enslavement. For almost four years now, I have held the position of Visiting Scholar at Brown University’s Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice. From my new home in Maine, I run a public history consulting practice through which I am helping to lead a statewide truth-seeking and historical recovery initiative on behalf of the state’s Permanent Commission on the Status of Racial, Indigenous, and Tribal Populations. I write to you today to share my deep concern that Brewster’s history has been treated with a lack of rigor and an alarming degree of negligence over many decades, which negatively impacts current residents and visitors. I believe that the town urgently needs to create a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee capable of addressing these and other concerns. Anyone passing through Brewster is likely to conclude that this town values its history. Driving along Main Street, one encounters few indications that much has changed since the community reached the apex of its economic prosperity in the mid-nineteenth century. Indeed, the living-museum quality of this idyllic seaside village that long promoted itself to summer visitors as the “Sea Captain’s Town” is a large part of its draw. Maintaining Brewster’s olde-timey image comes at a significant cost to residents and business owners, of course. Maybe not everyone keeps tabs on the town’s heavy investment in preservation efforts, but many will have experienced its strictures when looking to apply a new coat of paint or hang a sign. While some complain about the stiff regulations aimed at maintaining a stately façade, most townsfolk in the historic district comply without too much fuss. After all, if Brewster’s lost-in-time image helps to attract tourist dollars, the prevailing assumption is that everyone ultimately benefits from such cosmetics. I have come to conclude that Brewster does not actually value its true history. What it venerates are the profits that continue to accrue to the town thanks to the wealth amassed by its 18th and 19th century residents, most notably through a vigorous maritime trade with the West Indies that was entirely fueled by labor forcibly extracted from enslaved Africans. These men, women, and children were stolen from their homelands and forced to board slaving vessels that were frequently built and commanded by New Englanders1—some of them Cape Codders. If the captives managed to survive the wretched Middle Passage from the continent to the Caribbean, they faced conditions so cruel on the islands’ sugar plantations that their average life expectancy on arrival was just seven years. It was to capitalize on the product of their forced labor—molasses and sugar, primarily—that Brewster men flocked in droves to the West Indies during the period local historians like to refer to as the Golden Age of Sail. For the hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans who were worked to death during that same period, there was nothing remotely golden about it. You may be tempted to dismiss my claims or chalk them up to exaggeration. After all, how could Brewster’s history and its economic foundations be so bound up with slavery if these imputed facts have not made their way into books or exhibits or classrooms? To be sure, it is decidedly not thanks to the Town’s Historic Vault that I owe this knowledge; the archive lacks an accurate finding guide (according to Town Clerk Collette Williams, not all of the documents listed are actually available)and its digitized sources are mashed together in a massive file that is nearly useless because it has not been indexed. Nor is it on the shelves of the Brewster Ladies’ Library that I managed to locate any books on the topic; here one mostly finds bracing tales about intrepid Yankee mariners written by their descendants. I certainly didn’t learn this information thanks to exhibits at the Brewster 1 Scholars have identified 1,740 known transatlantic slaving voyages out of New England, which only represents the tip of the iceberg and does not account for domestic or “Intra-American” slave trading (see slavevoyages.org). Recent scholarship by Dr. Kate McMahon has revealed that Massachusetts and Maine vessels were actively involved in the illicit slave trade through the Civil War. Historical Society’s Cobb House Museum, where it is only recently that an underwhelming sign acknowledges that there were “slaves” in Brewster (a DEI committee would understand this language to be outdated). Students at the town’s elementary schools do not learn about Brewster’s many early residents of African and Native heritage who were forced to labor here. Nor certainly are golfers in any way enlightened by the “history” presented at the town-funded Captains’ Golf Course, which perpetuates countless falsehoods when honoring the town’s most renowned sea captains at each hole–and this, even after I reached out to Michael Pregot and course administrators to correct the record. It goes without saying that the shiny brass plaques adorning the fancy facades of those captains’ mansions fail to mention the grim origins of the wealth that built them. None of the institutions stewarded or funded by the town teaches us about Brewster’s deep investment in slavery except, perhaps, the cemeteries. By cross-referencing headstone inscriptions with information gleaned from vital records and a couple additional sources, I learned that, by far and away, the number one place of death for Brewster men in the 19th century when they weren’t dying at home was Cuba (see my spreadsheet, “Brewster Sea Captains with known involvement in the West Indies, Africa, & South America”). Why Cuba? Following the Haitian Revolution, this Spanish-controlled Caribbean island had become the global hub of the sugar trade. Consequently, it also served as nexus of the illicit slave trade. Equal opportunity profiteers, Brewster men were additionally doing heavy trade in the American South and across South America, where once again slavery was the engine driving each economy. Brewster men were sailing to Africa, as well. Elijah Cobb made at least two African voyages, in 1818 and again in 1818-19, which he curiously chose not to mention in his memoir. If you ask docents at the Cobb House whether the sea captain might have been involved in slave trading, they have been instructed to respond that there is no evidence to back what BHS leadership has characterized as purely speculative theory. I have published evidence indicating that Cobb, like every other Brewster man and boy on that voyage, was guilty of illicit slave trading (you can read a short summary of my findings here). To boot, Cobb knowingly sailed a diseased vessel into Boston harbor and caused a yellow fever epidemic in 1819 that had massive repercussions up and down the eastern seaboard. A report published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1820 outlines many of the basic facts of the case even as it raises a dozen red flags.2 And yet the Brewster Historical Society has failed to incorporate these facts in its interpretation or to investigate the report’s suspicious elisions over the past six years since I brought them to light. After presenting a talk on September 16, 2017 for BHS titled “The Diseased Ship,” I asked audience members to complete a short survey. The results indicated that respondents unanimously believed, based on the evidence presented, that Elijah Cobb and the crew of the Ten Brothers had been involved in an illegal slave trading voyage in 1818-19. In the days following my presentation, I shared these results with BHS President Sally Gunning. She told me she was hearing feedback from BHS members who were not convinced of Cobb’s guilt. I then asked her if I could send an electronic version of the survey specifically to BHS members, and she agreed. Once the results were in, I compiled them alongside the earlier responses. The discrepancies are illuminating. Among those polled on the day of my presentation, in response to the question, “Based on the information presented today, do you believe that Cobb’s Ten Brothers trip to Africa in 1818-19 was a slave trading voyage?” 100% of respondents answered “yes.” To the same question, only 20% of BHS members agreed, while 20% were unsure and 60% said “no.” 2 You can read my short summary of events surrounding the 1818-19 voyage of the Ten Brothers here. For a detailed account and a list of sources, read my article “The Case of the Ten Brothers: Connecting the Dots of a Cape Ship’s Triangle Trade” in Cape Cod Genealogical Society Journal, Volume 9, No. 2 [Fall 2019] (See attached chart for all compiled survey results) In view of the misgivings expressed by BHS members, I offered to meet with them shortly after my 2017 talk to address any concerns they had about my research findings or methods. BHS declined. I then suggested we might conduct a public debate. Again, BHS declined. I offered to volunteer at the Cobb House Museum. BHS declined. I applied for a table at the BHS farmer’s market. BHS declined. I inquired about Atlantic Black Box making a donation to join BHS’s business partners. BHS declined on the basis that ABB is a nonprofit. Finally, I addressed a formal letter on October 19, 2019 to the members of the BHS board, informing them of my forthcoming article in the Cape Cod Genealogical Society Journal and once again requesting acknowledgement of my research findings, welcoming the opportunity to answer any questions they may have. Two months later, and after some prompting, I received from Sally Gunning the following response: “The Board reviewed your material but felt that since I had already acknowledged its receipt there was nothing new in it requiring a new response. I’m sure you can appreciate that an historical society can present only the known facts.” It appears that only BHS members are capable of determining which facts are “known” and thus valid. I have made the case, based on a preponderance of evidence, that the ship Ten Brothers was in fact engaged in slave trading under Cobb’s command. What standard of proof is the BHS President invoking? The BHS Board has repeatedly proven woefully lacking in its command of local history, dogmatically insistent on turning a blind eye to evidence, unwilling to do basic due diligence, and committed to a highly partial and skewed interpretive approach. Because there is no other historical organization in town to which I can appeal, and because the town lacks a DEI committee, BHS has been able to continue stonewalling without challenge. I witnessed, some months back, BHS leadership disrespect Brewster resident Barbara Burgo, the co-founder of the Cape Cod Cape Verdean Museum and Cultural Center, who could be a tremendous resource for the town. This outrage follows a pattern. In the latest BHS mailing, Sally Gunning promotes her upcoming talk asking, “If you were shipwrecked on a primitive tropical island, would you prefer to ‘go native’ or don gentlemen’s clothes?” As an academic researcher trained in decolonization and antiracism, there are few BHS newsletters that I don’t find deeply offensive or troubling for their lack of cultural competency or the problematic set of values they reveal. I was again appalled to learn recently that BHS has raised funds to acquire the “White Lady” figurehead from J. Henry Sears’s vessel Imperial; that money could have been invested in researching Sears’s complicity in slavery through his heavy involvement in the cotton trade. Similarly, BHS expended resources a couple years back to acquire Elijah Cobb’s document chest; those funds would have been better spent attempting to reconstruct the historical record that this empty chest once contained. Such acquisitions betray a set of values in which fetishized objects are prioritized over historical truth. In light of its willful irresponsibility in carrying out its mission, I believe that the town of Brewster should engage a public process to evaluate whether the BHS should continue to benefit from taxpayer dollars. If the BHS can publish a blog post about Brewster’s enterprising Benjamin Bangs without thinking to mention that he was the town’s most egregious enslaver; or write about Brewster’s historic Cape Verdean population without consulting Brewster’s current Cape Verdean residents, among whom there is a museum director; or welcome visitors to the Harris-Black House without foregrounding or even mentioning anywhere the fact that it belonged to a family of color; or fail to mention at the Cobb Museum that the man of the house brought the plague to Boston and was publicly accused of illicit slave trading—this is because the Brewster Historical Society is operating inside a dangerous echo chamber and within a culture so steeped in a legacy of white supremacy that it is blind to the harms it continues to perpetuate in the name of historical interpretation. In order to truly value its history, Brewster must acknowledge the source of its wealth. And the town’s elected officials should support an ongoing public dialogue about the sorts of actions these hard truths might require of us today. Instead, the town-funded BHS serves as the arbiter of what constitutes “legitimate” history. You may counter that the Historical Society is not an official arm of the town, but what happens at BHS reflects directly on all of Brewster. Moreover, so long as the town is strictly confining its historical investments to the preservation of its olde-timey image, its interest in history can only be said to be surface-deep. This reckoning is not to be avoided. In addition to a grave moral responsibility, Brewster has an opportunity to draw valuable lessons from its history that it can impart through meaningful educational programming and cultural heritage tourism. The Royall House Museum and Slave Quarters in Medford, Massachusetts has enjoyed praise and received an influx of visitors from schools and from all parts after reinterpreting the site through the lens of racial history. Other regional organizations, such as Historic New England and the New England Museums Association, are demonstrating leadership in urging their members to uncover their ties to slavery and colonization and to recover the stories of the Black and Indigenous people connected to their sites. The Brewster Select Board devised a plan at the height of the racial awakening following the murder of George Floyd to create a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee. I was aghast to learn that town officials have since abandoned that commitment . Even as awareness has spread across all sectors of our society about the critical role these accountability systems play in helping companies, schools, and municipal organizations such as yours to prevent continued harms against Black, Indigenous, and other people of color as well as their critical importance in promoting social justice, attracting and retaining a diverse population, fostering inclusion, improving community relations, and meeting their legal obligations, the fact that Brewster has concluded it does not need such a group is simply unconscionable. In the absence of a town DEI committee, where can I register my deep concerns about the lack of acknowledgement surrounding Brewster’s history of complicity in slavery and the legacies of that past as they continue to manifest in the present? Certainly not with BHS, which has continuously swatted away my outstretched hand. Where can important voices like that of Barbara Burgo hope to be heard?

I have been piecing together the story he left out of his memoir ever since. It ’s an epic tale of 19th-century greed that weaves together what for the past couple of years we’ve been calling the “twin plagues” of racism and disease. Most of Brewster ’s prominent seafaring families were implicated in this sordid tale. But so too were the Boston authorities who, in turning a blind eye to Cobb’s machinations, caused a public health crisis that reverberated throughout the Atlantic world in 1819 and beyond. When Cobb sailed the ship Ten Brothers back to Boston from West Africa via the West Indies on 1 August 1819, he flouted quarantine regulations and prematurely docked at Long Wharf. Customs agents found little in the ship’s hold, aside from a putrid stench and clouds of mosquitoes, vectors of a virulent virus that had already felled seven members of the expedition. Within days, a “malignant fever ” was burning through Boston’s wharves. Through contact tracing, physicians established that the first 18 victims had direct ties to the Ten Brothers.Given the presence of such tell-tale symptoms as yellow skin and black vomit, a number of prominent physicians reported to the Board of Health that the city was in the throes of a yellow fever outbreak, identifying the ship as its indisputable source. Torn between the need to allay public fears and to appease Boston's powerful merchant elite, the Board of Health declared the Ten Brothers a “diseased vessel” and ordered it scuttled and sunk. But the health officers simultaneously denied that Yellow Jack was afoot, since acknowledging the presence of this deadly disease would require them to halt all shipping into and out of the busy harbor. To maintain their charade, authorities were forced to assume increasingly contorted postures. In the press, they underreported mortality rates while quietly arranging for midnight burials. They conducted a sham investigation while redacting reports submitted by their own physicians and seeking to discredit them. The public, however, was not fooled. People could still smell the extraordinarily foul Ten Brothers, just as they could plainly see that it had not been sunk. Responding to public outrage, meadow_dibble@brown.edu |www.atlanticblackbox.com | 774-722-9036 1 Meadow Dibble, PhD Public History & Education Consulting, LLC the Board of Health issued its order a second time, again assuring Bostonians that the deed had been done... only it hadn't. Three times within the span of two weeks, health officials issued the same order—an order that was systematically ignored by the ship’s wealthy owners, who brazenly arranged to sell the Ten Brothers even as mortality rates soared and citizens fled to the countryside by the thousands. Captain Elijah Cobb was publicly accused of illicit slave trading and of knowingly sailing a diseased vessel into Boston harbor. But this case never made its way to court. Boston’s Board of Health cleared Cobb—and, conveniently, itself—of all wrongdoing. As Cobb settled into a quiet retirement back on Cape Cod, the virus continued to spread through port cities along the eastern seaboard and throughout the Atlantic world. The unsunk vessel sailed on to Brazil—that is, the primary destination for enslaved Africans in the Americas. While the Ten Brothers can not be viewed as the singular cause of 1819’s devastating yellow fever pandemic, it was undeniably the most identifiable vector and proved an important touchstone in the ongoing medical debate about the virus’s source and means of transmission. Almost exactly two hundred years before the Biogen superspreader event took place on Boston’s Long Wharf in 2020 launching a coronavirus outbreak that experts estimate has since infected hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, a different public health crisis erupted from that very spot. Unlike the influenza pandemic of 1918, however, the health crisis caused by the Ten Brothers on returning from West Africa could not serve to inform our thinking about how to navigate the twin plagues of disease and racism that confront us today, having never made its way into the history books. The "Case of the Ten Brothers" is a cautionary tale that was never told. meadow_dibble@brown.edu |www.atlanticblackbox.com | 774-722-9036 2 Meadow Dibble, PhD Public History & Education Consulting, LLC I’ve got a book proposal in the works. In the meantime, since 2017 I’ve been sharing this story in the form of a talk titled “The Diseased Ship” as a way to raise awareness about the depth of New England’s complicity in slavery.

Paine “Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.” —Elijah Cobb xactly two hundred years ago last August, a gut-wrenching stench blew into Boston on a warm southernly breeze, wrapping the city’s busy waterfront in a suffocating embrace. Dock workers, well- accustomed to unpleasant odors, were nonetheless doubled over by the pungency of the noxious fumes. Customs officials set aside their accounting to scan the horizon for the source of the corruption, but all they could see was an unbroken slate of sea and sky across which the rain seemed to etch a foreboding scrawl. Then it appeared, the long- awaited 90-foot square rigger belonging to an elite group of Boston merchants.1 Their ship had finally come in, only—mortifyingly—it reeked to high heaven. “It is a matter of common remark that no ship has arrived in our harbor for many years in so foul a state as the Ten Brothers,” attested one witness.2 “It has … been stated by people of veracity that the ship was extremely foul,” echoed another, “so as to be offensive to the senses, even when coming up the harbor.”3 What exactly had happened on board this ship after its crew of Cape Cod men pulled anchor and sailed for Sierra Leone eleven months earlier, on 1 September 1818? What cargo had the vessel carried from West Africa to the West Indies? And what could have imbued its every timber with a putrescence so revolting that no amount of scrubbing or fumigating could successfully mask the horrific stench? The Case of the Empty Archive Not a single original document related to the 1818–19 voyage of the ship Ten Brothers has survived to help us answer these questions. Scour the archives and you will find none of the official paperwork required in organizing a major transatlantic trading venture. There is no ship’s log, no port clearance, no bill of lading. Of the crew list, not a trace. The dossier is quite simply missing, as if it had been tossed overboard and the wake created by its plunge had immediately repaired to form a seamless blue surface, betraying no memory of the ship’s passage on these seas. E 160 The Journal of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society One encounters many stark gaps in the maritime record when attempting to research the African voyages initiated by New Englanders throughout the nineteenth century, particularly those that took place following the United States’ 1808 federal ban on slave trading. Scholars frequently lament that countless custom records went up in flames in Boston’s devastating fire of 1872, but not all losses can be attributed to mere accident. Stephen Chambers, in his important work No God But Gain, notes that “deliberate sabotage” often conspired with time and fire to “swallow the evidence” of the region’s involvement in the slave economies of the Americas.4 In one strange local case with significant repercussions, the Registrar of Barnstable County accused his predecessor, William Otis, of having absconded with all of the files related to Cape Cod’s maritime activities of the early 1800s.5 To which one can add the more generalized practice of actively destroying private documents, leading author Henry Kittredge to deplore that “too often have tidy housewives among their descendants burned their log books and their letters.”6 The dearth of documentation related to New England’s nineteenth- century maritime commerce with Africa helps to explain why our collective memory has retained so little about the Ten Brothers voyage of 1818–19 beyond the fact that it proved fatal to a number of men from Brewster’s most prominent seafaring families. Perhaps even this knowledge would have eventually sunk to the depths of our collective subconscious had evidence of their untimely foreign deaths not been literally carved in stone and erected Volume 9, No. 2 [Fall 2019] 161 to endure the eons over a set of empty graves in the town’s oldest cemeteries. Still, none of this explains why the numerous reports produced when the ship’s return to Boston caused a major public health crisis, and which became a matter of public record, have failed to elicit the interest of either community researchers or historians for the past 200 years.7 The Case of the Truncated Memoir Brewster’s Elijah Cobb (1768–1848), who was responsible for sailing the Ten Brothers back to home port, was the man in the best position to offer an account of this fateful transatlantic voyage, but there is no mention of it in his popular memoir, the first printed edition of which likely appeared in a local newspaper in 1857. In fact, there is an entire period of Cobb’s career that we never learn about from him directly. His narrative breaks off before he can describe his final eight years cruising the Atlantic world, between 1812 and 1820. In a note that accompanied the manuscript, Elijah Winslow Cobb explains that his grandfather’s failing health prevented him from recounting the rest of his overseas adventures. Yet letters dating to 1845 in the Caro Dugan collection at the Brewster Ladies Library demonstrate that even at age 77—that is, two years after having left off his memoir project—the elderly gentleman continued to give proof of legible handwriting and a sharp wit. A second edition of the memoir—this one edited by Ralph D. Paine and published in 1925 by Yale University Press—attempts to remedy Elijah Cobb’s initial elision. Included in the appendix are a number of letters he wrote while anchored in the harbor at Príncipe, off the coast of West Africa. Had Paine chosen not to append this correspondence or failed to provide some context for it in his Forward, most readers would never suspect that a major episode in the sea captain’s life—indeed, in that of his community— was missing from his narrative. Given that it was the traffic in human flesh that had attracted European and, eventually, American seamen to Africa beginning in 1501, the Yale graduate who edited this volume (and who, incidentally, was a Skull and Bones member) must have sensed how disingenuous it would appear not to address the question most likely to be on the minds of readers, namely: Could Elijah Cobb and his crew have been engaged in the slave trade? Acknowledging that an illegal commerce in slaves was still flourishing throughout the coastal regions visited by the Ten Brothers during its two consecutive trips to the continent, in 1818 and again in 1818–19, Paine emphasizes that these were “lawful trading voyages” and portrays the captain’s actions as benevolent—heroic, even. “Like many another 162 The Journal of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society American shipmaster he risked the deadly fever in order to sell his goods to the natives.”8 In a 1935 profile of Elijah Cobb included in the “Neutral Traders” chapter of Shipmasters of Cape Cod, author Henry Kittredge initiates a trend that has persisted to the present day when he distills the essence of Cobb’s thirty-seven-year seafaring career into a single event—one that we might, in the tradition of Mark Twain, title “A Massachusetts Yankee in Citizen Robespierre’s Private Chamber.” Like Paine, Kittredge touches briefly on the sea captain’s Africa voyages and is quick to absolve him of any suspicion of wrongdoing. “Though the slave trade was flourishing there at the time,” he writes of West Africa, “Cobb kept clear of it.”9 In the Dictionary of American Biography, the author of the entry devoted to Elijah Cobb reaches a similar conclusion and adds with creative flair: “His cargo seems to have been oil and ivory, with no trace of rum or slaves.”10 On what evidence, we may wonder, are such assertions based? The principal source for both summaries was what “R.G.A.” of the Dictionary refers to as Cobb’s “interesting, matter-of-fact autobiography to 1812.” The statement is curious, to say the least, since the Brewster sea captain left the African voyages out of his memoir entirely. So it is that we find ourselves cycling through a surreal sort of feedback loop in which an account of questionable accuracy (Paine’s) comes to stand in for the absent original (Cobb’s), and eventually achieves authoritative status through frequent repetition by subsequent commentators. Today, on the shelves of the Brewster Historical Society’s gift shop, located in what was once the sea captain’s own kitchen at 739 Lower Road, a streamlined version of Elijah Cobb’s memoir has taken the place of Yale’s out-of-print edition.11 In her Editor’s Note, Deborah Hill, who is related to Cobb by marriage, mentions that she has excised both Paine’s “fine introduction which explains the historical background of Cobb’s adventures” and the appended letters, without clarifying the rationale behind these significant changes.12 In removing from her slim 2012 volume all information pertaining to the African voyages, she effectively eliminates the unpleasant static it created within the feedback loop. By inference, the reader is led to conclude that these journeys were inconsequential, or at least irrelevant in completing Cobb’s portrait. At the same time, Hill underscores the importance of situating the captain’s “escapades” within their historical context. Rather than refer readers to a more complete or less biased account than Paine’s, however, the author recommends “reading my novel, This Is the House, which is based on this memoir and uses the facts as a background drum-roll.”13 With this sleight of hand, Hill suppresses original source material in favor of a fictionalized account in which she readily admits that “fact and fiction blend and blur.”14 The memoir’s truncated nature is not problematic, from this perspective, but rather represents an opportunity to Volume 9, No. 2 [Fall 2019] 163 reimagine history unfettered by fact. As such, in her role as editor, Hill affirms that the advent of the venerable sea captain’s 1812 homecoming “is the perfect place to stop” his nonfiction account.15 Among other advantages, Cobb’s elision allows the romance novelist to invoke creative license in weaving a tale of “daring, drive, and passion” in which the “enterprising” sea captain Elijah Merrick, modeled after Cobb, embarks on a transatlantic trading venture to West Africa prompted by heartbreak but inspired by only the best of intentions. “I will not enter the slave trade,” Elijah Merrick assures merchant Benjamin Fuller in no uncertain terms. But that is not what his colleague had in mind. The lovesick protagonist of This Is the House would offer “beads and buttons, knives and colored cloth” to “natives” along the Gold Coast in exchange for ivory and gold dust. From the Portuguese plantation owners on Príncipe, Merrick would secure a cargo of coffee by supplying them with “ice and fresh apples and grapes.”16 “Did it happen this way?” Hill asks rhetorically in her introduction to the novel. “It could have,” she insists.17 The problem is, it didn’t. A Tendentious Game of Telephone What does it say about us if we allow Elijah Cobb’s full-stop, happy ending to stand unchallenged? Can we really claim to know a man if we are prepared to overlook the final 36 years of his life, especially since it was principally during these later decades that Cobb managed to acquire the wealth that allowed him to purchase over twenty properties around town?18 And what do we get if we mistake his highly selective personal narrative for a reliable historical account without attempting to fill in the blanks or to produce supporting documentation for his many surprising boasts? The answer lies somewhere between mythology and hagiography. In a 1978 article published in the Cape Cod Times, Sue Mellen describes Cobb as a “romantic hero” with a “classically handsome figure.”19 It is hardly surprising then that the “Captain America” chapter of Theresa Barbo’s Hidden History of Cape Cod (2015) is devoted to none other than Elijah Cobb. But the shocking or suppressed knowledge that the title might lead one to expect is nowhere present in her work. Instead, echoing earlier admirers, Barbo describes the mariner’s trajectory as exemplary of the “bravery, vision and character that was commonplace in yesteryear.”20 Our reverence for this particular captain seems both pervasive and enduring. Just a few months ago, when I asked a docent at the Cobb Museum to tell me a bit about the man of the house, she replied: “We know he was very smart, because he was named captain at such a young age. And we know he was a very hard worker, because he made a fortune at sea.” I recognized in her 164 The Journal of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society description the classic formula behind the old bootstrapper story, serialized by Horatio Alger. In a scenario that the Chelsea author would spin into a hundred different yarns, the young protagonist manages to overcome his humble beginnings through grit, wit, courage, and determination, at last achieving a well-deserved ascent to wealth and glory. Cobb, it would seem, fits this profile to a T. Born on the Fourth of July, the Brewster boy would turn eight on the day the Declaration of Independence was signed. Having been bound to a neighbor two years earlier and forced to earn his keep through hard labor after his father died at sea, young Elijah was hardly in a position to enjoy the sort of freedom described as an entitlement by our aspirational national document. Looking back on his eventful career sixty years after embarking on his first overseas voyage, Cobb doesn’t mind admitting to any number of illegal and unscrupulous acts that made him a favorite among Boston’s shipping elite. As an ambitious young seaman, he had smuggled contraband, cheated the Embargo, bribed his way into and out of European ports, outrun the British navy… anything, it would seem, to secure big returns on his employers’ investments. In bragging about these exploits, Cobb comes off as a bit of a rogue, but a fairly likeable one. He’s the sort of swashbuckler featured in so many Hollywood films whom we idolize for his pluck and cunning, his willingness to risk anything for the love of the chase. Having risen through the ranks of our young merchant marine to amass fortune and fame, Cobb presents as a true “self-made man,” the very embodiment of our national character and aspirations, the American Dream incarnate. The similarities between his hardscrabble story of upward mobility and those immortalized by Horatio Alger are very likely not a matter of coincidence. After all, the novelist would have been intimately familiar with Cobb’s story. Prior to getting his start as a writer, Alger spent two years in Brewster as minister of the First Parish church, from 1864–66, just a few short years after the sea captain’s death. What’s more, before being abruptly run out of town on charges of child sexual abuse, he used the outbuilding located on the Cobb property at Lower Road as a summer camp for boys.21 It is unlikely that Alice Cox was aware of this sordid scandal when she dubbed Cobb “Brewster’s Horatio Alger”—a man who rose “from rags to riches through Yankee ingenuity and tenacity.”22 But then few people are, even today. It would seem that Brewster has been keeping more than one secret over the centuries, for Cox appears equally unaware of Cobb’s Africa voyages when she celebrates his “proficiency as a shipmaster and his perseverance and shrewdness in overcoming the obstacles he faced.”23 Captain America indeed. Our community has long taken it for granted that Elijah Cobb was the “upright man” described on his headstone. But by uncritically venerating the village patriarch, who lived to the impressive age of 80 and was buried with Volume 9, No. 2 [Fall 2019] 165 every honor, is it not possible that we have been harboring a criminal?24 Seven Brewster men and boys were not fortunate enough to have survived the voyage this merchant trader initiated in 1819. The tragic truth behind the two-hundred-year-old Ten Brothers catastrophe, however, is that our town was hardly alone in suffering as a result of this collective quest for profit. From his commanding position at the helm of this ship, Elijah Cobb made a number of highly questionable choices—choices that decided the fate of thousands. On Consorts and Accomplices When the 230-ton merchant vessel Ten Brothers sailed out of Boston Harbor on 1 September 1818 bound for West Africa, Elijah Cobb was not serving in the role of captain; that honor went to Joseph Mayo, Jr., then going on thirty. Rather, as the initiator of the voyage and senior member of the party, Cobb’s title was that of supercargo, responsible for all aspects of trade. It was he who would have ordered the ship to be loaded with a cargo of rum, tobacco, cloth, and “hardware”—precisely the sorts of commodities in high demand throughout the Gallinas region of Sierra Leone, where the Ten Brothers made port following its six-week transatlantic crossing.25 That particular coastline was heavily frequented in this era by British, Dutch, French, Portuguese, and American vessels, which regularly called at the slaving fort Lomboko, “most of them in defiance of their own nation’s laws,” according to historian Marcus Rediker. The illegal slave trade was so pervasive along these shores, he tells us, that “almost everyone would have had a brush with it.”26 By November, the Ten Brothers had successfully rendezvoused with a second vessel, the schooner Hope, at whose helm stood David Nickerson. The forty-seven-year-old Brewster native was Cobb’s contemporary and had served as his second-in-command on the ship Monsoon. It is worth noting that this latter vessel was involved in at least two documented slaving voyages that departed from Massachusetts, first in 1805 and again in 1807, though it remains unclear whether Brewster men were on board at that time.27 By Nickerson’s side was Isaac Clark, who had long occupied the most prominent positions in Brewster’s civic and religious life. Sarah Augusta Mayo reports in her memoir Looking Back that when Cobb first invited his close friend to join this venture Clark demurred. “But Capt. Cobb was so sanguine as to the results,” she writes, “and held out such inducements, that grandfather decided to accept the offer.”28 The fact that Clark had lost his eldest son to yellow fever in Havana, Cuba that same summer may have been a contributing factor in his decision to embark on this African voyage in September. 166 The Journal of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society Sailing southward along the Gold and Windward Coasts, the pair of vessels continued over the better part of six months to pursue its tag-team trade along shorelines dotted with barracoons, or “slave factories.” This configuration, in which an agile schooner or sloop serves as auxiliary tender to a large-capacity ship or brig, was typical of slaving voyages. But according to testimony supplied by the crew of the Ten Brothers on the ship’s return to Boston, this was assuredly not a slaving voyage. Whether or not these Cape Cod seamen were in fact telling investigators the truth, it seems fair to assume that they would have denied involvement in a trade that had been declared a federal crime in 1808 and prohibited to citizens of Massachusetts as early as 1788.29 A Passport to the Realms of Blessedness 30 On 19 January 1819, the Ten Brothers and Hope reunited in the harbor at Príncipe, or “Prince’s Island,” as they called it, where Portuguese plantations fueled by slave labor produced coffee for export.31 Situated just a hundred miles north of the equator, the island was a tropical paradise—a true “gem of the ocean,” in the words of Peter Leonard, a surgeon with the British Navy who knew it was also a thriving hub of the transatlantic slave trade. As his ship, the HMS Dryad, cruised these waters in an effort to suppress the traffic, Leonard could not help but comment that “nature must have been in one of her most fanciful humours when she formed a land so beautiful and romantic.” But the European and American crews that regularly dropped anchor in this harbor did not come to take in the lush scenery. What made the island a favored destination among slaving vessels was the relative shelter it provided from the infectious diseases so common along the coast. Ironically, it was precisely here, in this haven, just a decade before the Dryad’s passage, that yellow fever caused havoc among the Cape Cod contingent.32 The outbreak began on board the Hope, where it appears Captain Nickerson became Patient Zero. Before the suffering man could be removed to shore sometime around 4 February, the virus had spread to fourteen-year- old Kimball Clark, who died in agony three days later. In a letter to his wife, Cobb confided that “such senes [sic] of distrefs & death, is severely trying to me”; indeed, it had been his doleful task that same week to close the yellowed eyes of Isaac Clark, the dear friend whom he had coaxed out of retirement with the promise of a highly lucrative trading venture. It may well have been Cobb himself who served as a vector for the virus when it jumped ships and struck down Captain Mayo of the Ten Brothers on 18 February. With the fever now ravaging both crews, the ailing Cobb assumed a frenzied command of the larger of the two vessels. In the same instant, he charged nineteen-year-old John Dillingham III—"the only one willing to Volume 9, No. 2 [Fall 2019] 167 undertake”—with the responsibility of sailing the Hope back to Boston with the incapacitated and highly infectious David Nickerson on board. When writing of these calamities to his wife, Mary Pinkham Cobb (1770–1835), Cobb presciently expressed doubt that Nickerson could survive the journey while assuring her that he himself would prevail in the face of this illness.33 Appointing an agent onshore at Príncipe to look after his interests, Cobb ordered the Ten Brothers put to sea on 21 February. “I shall work up to the windward of these islands & paſs away 3 or 4 weeks, until the sickly season paſses,” he explained, suggesting he had set a course for the neighboring islands of São Tomé and Annobón.34 Such trying circumstances had nearly “unmanned” him, Cobb confessed to the woman he referred to in his memoir as his “pertner [sic] in life’s voyage.”35 He would gladly have departed for home then and there had he not advanced “3 or 4000 Dollars of goods … in orders for coffee.” It apparently went without saying, between these “pertners,” that no amount of tragedy could justify leaving such a sizable amount of money on the table. Despite having already lost at least four members of his party to the virulent fever, and with several crewmembers still sick and highly “alamed” [sic], the veteran captain made it clear that he wasn’t about to leave the region without first collecting a profitable cargo in return for his investment. To appease his men, they would spread sail and head south for a bit. “Git good air,” wrote Cobb, “& I hope, fresh sperits [sic].” It would seem that the commander often described by commentators as deeply pious also had a supreme confidence in the power of mind over matter. “Amagination [sic] in this country works wonders,” Cobb offered optimistically, as if the plague could be overcome by a mere change in outlook.36 Everything was in God’s hands anyway, he rationalized in his letter to Mary. The only thing he and his crew could really do was to “take all reasonable precaution, and trust our lives & healths, to an alwise, aljust, & mercifull God, who cannot err” [sic; emphasis in original].37 It turns out Cobb wasn’t big on taking precautions. Rather than steer clear of danger, Brewster’s boldest maverick sailed straight for it, time and time again. He may have carried through with his plan to flee the fever raging at Príncipe in favor of São Tomé, as he had assured his wife he would, but it does not appear that he apprised her of his next move. In effect, after a month’s absence, the captain ordered the Ten Brothers back to the very port where his men had died, exposing his remaining crew once again to the deadly disease over the next sixty sweltering days in order to complete the transaction he had partially paid for. Nor did he tell Mary what he had confided to his son, Elijah Jr.—that while enjoying the “good air” of São Tomé (which Peter Leonard, by contrast, described as a “poisonous atmosphere”), the intrepid Yankee trader appears to have contracted for yet more goods, even as young Godfrey Lincoln succumbed to yellow fever 168 The Journal of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society before his very eyes. After concluding the business he had left unfinished at Príncipe, Cobb sailed the Ten Brothers back to São Tomé a second time, undaunted by this latest fatality and resolved to round out his cargo before departing Africa at the end of April. Given his obsessive determination to wring a profit from this deadly voyage, one is forced to wonder what commodity could possibly warrant repeatedly placing the lives of his men at risk. “Coffee,” the merchant captain wrote his wife and son. “Indian corn,” he later assured inspectors from the Board of Health. Neither, of course, was a high-profit-margin item. And neither was found on board the Ten Brothers in any significant quantity upon the vessel’s return to Boston. Triangulating the Trade Elijah Cobb’s activities in West Africa have received little more than passing mention from his many admirers over the years. On the rare occasions that the 1818–19 voyage of the Ten Brothers has been evoked, accounts have consistently jumped from the outbreak of the sickness (which commentators almost always fail to identify as yellow fever) to the Volume 9, No. 2 [Fall 2019] 169 destruction of the vessel (also erroneously described every time). What they have all left out, oddly, is the leg of this journey that concluded when the ship dropped anchor at the third point of its Atlantic triangle. Although J. Henry Sears devoted eleven pages to the veteran sea captain’s many overseas exploits in his 1906 work Brewster Ship Masters, the author spent surprisingly little time describing Cobb’s two trips to West Africa. “During the second voyage there was much sickness of a contagious character,” Sears wrote, “and the ship on her return was sunk at the end of the wharf, to prevent contagion in the city of Boston.”38 Ralph Paine, in his 1925 Forward, stated simply that Cobb’s crew “suffered grimly” on the Guinea Coast before concluding: “His ship had to be scuttled at a Boston wharf, so foul was she with deadly fever, and there was fear that the contagion might spread ashore. This was the end of his seafaring career of nearly forty years.”39 Henry Kittredge, after including three of the letters the sea captain wrote from Príncipe in his own 1935 summary of the “dreadful tragedy,” concluded simply: “Luck and robust health brought Cobb home in safety from this, his last voyage.”40 The late Ellen St. Sure, who for decades served as Town Archivist to Brewster, summarized the entire African episode in a single paragraph, describing how a virulent fever led to a “human catastrophe” for Cobb and his friends. “When the ship returned to Boston,” St. Sure wrote in 2000, fast forwarding through six significant months, “the survivors were first quarantined on board, then allowed ashore and the Ten Brothers was burned at anchor in the bay.”41 Thus has a major aspect of the Ten Brothers’ 1818–19 voyage remained conspicuously absent from previous accounts—namely the fact that, from Africa, the vessel did not sail straight back to Boston. Embarking first on a 40-day passage westward to Martinique, it traced across the broad Atlantic the second leg of what would ultimately become a triangle. How this port of call came to be effaced from our collective memory is curious, since Cobb himself had announced his intention to touch at the West Indies before sailing home in letters to both his wife and his son that were appended to his memoir.42 Remarkably, neither Paine nor any of Cobb’s other local commentators seem to have taken note of this significant detail; only historian Robert Blake notes that the vessel “arrived at quarantine from Africa via Martinique.”43 No one raised an eyebrow at the highly suspicious trajectory the vessel followed and which is so suggestive of a slaving voyage. Consequently, not one of them was forced to wonder—publicly, at least—what sort of cargo the Brewster man may have carried from Africa to a Caribbean island covered with sugar plantations run on slave labor. Factoring Martinique into the economic equation at the heart of this merchant venture leads us to challenge some of the readily accepted assertions. Given the basic laws of supply and demand, how plausible is Cobb’s claim, for example, that the cargo unladed from the Ten Brothers at 170 The Journal of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society the port of St. Pierre consisted of 1,800 bushels of Indian corn, as he later reported to the Boston authorities? By 1819, New England vessels had for nearly two centuries been transporting provisions destined for consumption by enslaved Africans to Europe’s monoculture plantations of the West Indies. Grains, livestock, lumber, salt cod, and tools were shipped southward along well-worn trade routes that hugged the eastern seaboard in what was known as the “coasting” trade. This flourishing sector, to which New England owed its economic ascent in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, involved supplying the Caribbean’s planter class with everything it needed to keep captive Africans churning out sugar and molasses at a murderous rate.44 In this context, the notion that a New England ship would sail all the way to Africa simply to purchase foodstuffs for resale in the West Indies seems absurd. This is especially true in the case of Indian corn. To be sure, maize could be purchased along the Gold Coast of Africa in the nineteenth century, but the savvy merchant we know Elijah Cobb to have been would hardly have made a transatlantic crossing to procure a load of low-value grain for resale on the ocean’s opposite shore when Indian corn was produced in abundance right here in the Northeast. To state the question plainly: If Elijah Cobb could have easily obtained a cargo of Indian corn in New England and shipped it coastwise to Martinique, why would he engage in the far more time- consuming, less economical, and infinitely more dangerous transshipment of this grain across the Atlantic? The simple answer is, he would not. It was only after investigators from Boston’s Board of Health asked Cobb to explain the presence of some putrid ears of corn they had found scattered among the timbers of his vessel that Cobb claimed they were remnants of a cargo of 1,800 bushels of Indian corn he had sold in Martinique. As we shall soon see, however, this statement was in direct contradiction with earlier reports he had made about the nature of his merchandise. Indian corn was actually a common feature of slaving voyages. Crushed and boiled, it formed a thick gruel used to keep captive Health Office-Cobb’s Defense Volume 9, No. 2 [Fall 2019] 171 Africans alive during their transatlantic passage to the Americas, even when the enslaved would have preferred death. In fact, the British Navy had come to consider its presence in large quantities on board vessels stopped off the African coast as potentially indicative of a crew’s intention to engage in slave trading. If it wasn’t Indian corn the Ten Brothers delivered to Martinique, could it have been coffee that Cobb unladed at the island? After all, this is the commodity he told his wife he’d been awaiting in Príncipe, and it was supposedly with the aim of picking up an additional cargo of beans that he’d sailed back to São Tomé a second time. Here, too, a few moments spent contemplating market conditions in the nineteenth-century Caribbean are enough to reveal the improbability of such a claim. For whose consumption would the coffee have been destined, for example? The French and creole planters of Martinique were hardly in the habit of treating their enslaved work force to such luxury items. Nor would they have been so foolish as to purchase imported beans when the crop grew plentifully on their own islands. For the past two hundred years, Cobb’s commentators have relied on facile assumptions rather than logic when discussing his commerce in Africa. Today we can do better—and we must, because historical erasure is not a victimless crime. If it wasn’t Indian corn Cobb sold in Martinique, and if it wasn’t coffee, then we have to face the horrific but very likely possibility that the commodity Brewster’s revered patriarch delivered to the Caribbean island was a cargo of enslaved Africans. That would explain the presence of Indian corn on board, for it would have served to feed them. It would explain why the Ten Brothers sailed in consort with the Hope. It would explain why the two vessels lingered along the “Slave Coast” for over half a year. It would explain why Cobb was willing to risk the lives of his friends and crewmembers in order to complete his commercial transactions in the Gulf of Guinea. And it is perhaps the only explanation for the Ten Brothers’ unbearable stench. Rotting corn or coffee could not have generated the haunting odor described by witnesses. That was far more likely due to the imprisonment below decks of between 300–400 captives chained to one another in suffocating proximity for the length of an interminable Middle Passage. Impossible to mask or remove, the noxious stench that Boston could not ignore was, in all likelihood, the very smell of human suffering—an almost palpable reminder of those men, women, children, and infants forced to lie in their own excrement and vomit alongside the rotting corpses of those having already succumbed to yellow fever or dysentery. Such scenes of almost unimaginable horror were of course no longer playing out in the ship’s hold when the Ten Brothers sailed into Boston Harbor. Whatever captives had survived the Atlantic crossing would have 172 The Journal of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society been made to disembark in Martinique and been auctioned off before the island’s plantation owners could suspect this human cargo of being compromised. But the nauseating stench of death that enveloped the harbor as Cobb’s vessel made its fateful approach would have been unmistakable to the people of this coastal city. Slave ships, they knew from experience, could be smelled from miles off.45 If the offense had simply been committed against their olfactory senses and some hypothetical cargo of Africans—a population considered by most Americans of that era to be only hypothetically human, after all—then everyone might have continued to look the other way as they long had done, disgusted, perhaps, but tolerating with resignation a commerce pursued by the region’s most powerful merchants four full decades after slave trading had been prohibited to residents of Massachusetts. But the diseased ship had miseries in store for more than just those whose absent bodies hung in the air like abstractions made manifest. The Case of the Empty Cargo Hold By the time the Ten Brothers docked at Boston’s Long Wharf, it had been under the command of its former supercargo for five months. All told, seven Brewster men had succumbed to the risks inherent in doing business in what had long been known among mariners as the White Man’s Grave. On learning the devastating news, wives and mothers ordered white marble headstones to be engraved with the names of their loved ones and the places where they’d died, as if the practice of situating tragedy in latitude and longitude could somehow ease their pain. With the ship at last at anchor in Boston Harbor, it was time to see what prize had warranted such significant loss of life. When a customs officer by the name of Eaton braved the vessel’s repulsive stench to assess the value of its return cargo, the surviving crew refused to accompany him into the dank hold. Though the Columbian Centinel—“printer to the state”—had announced days earlier that Boston traders could expect a shipment of “ivory and coffee” as soon as the vessel was released from quarantine, a committee appointed by the city’s Board of Health noted the presence of neither during its investigation.46 A later report issued by a special committee of New York’s House of Assembly mentions a few insect-ridden gunny bags full of rotting coffee beans, but nowhere near the amount that would constitute a commercial cargo.47 What had the Ten Brothers brought back from its nearly year-long journey to Africa and the West Indies, aside from a noxious odor? Mosquitoes. Lots of them. Of the Aedes aegypti species, to be specific. And they were carrying the dreaded yellow fever virus that had ravaged the ship’s crew. Volume 9, No. 2 [Fall 2019] 173 Within days of the Ten Brothers’ arrival at home port, the population’s disgust with this “most foul vessel” would turn to terror as many of those having boarded the merchant ship became a shocking shade of yellow, bled from every orifice, and died in contorted fits of agony. Eaton was among the first to perish, but not before he had infected the crews of other ships in the busy harbor in the course of his inspections. Daniel Badger, who had retrieved a box from the hold, was another early victim. Despite the Brewster crew’s refusal to participate in the unlading process, three more of them fell ill, left the ship, and carried the virus beyond the confines of the port before expiring in pools of their own black vomit. While the Columbian Centinel emphatically assured readers that there was no cause for alarm, word on the street placed the death toll in the hundreds, even thousands. Rumors spread about ailing neighbors surreptitiously carted off after dark, about countless midnight burials kept off the official tallies. City-dwellers fled en masse to the countryside. Businesses were abruptly shuttered. There was never any doubt as to the source of the yellow fever outbreak that ravaged Boston’s waterfront that summer. The entire city, it seems, was unanimous in accusing the Ten Brothers of carrying a plague in the place of a cargo, like some malignant Trojan horse. Taking decisive action eleven days after the ship docked at Long Wharf, the Board of Health declared it a diseased vessel and ordered it scuttled and sunk. On 30 August 1819, a month after its arrival, a committee was tasked with investigating and stating “all the facts, relative to the ship Ten Brothers; while she was on the coast of Africa, on her return voyage, while she lay on quarantine ground, and after her arrival at this place…”48 Meanwhile, the man responsible for visiting the plague upon the city of Boston was by then comfortably settled back in his stately mansion by Cape Cod Bay, now home to the Brewster Historical Society. With Boston in an uproar and fingers pointed directly at him, it seems Elijah Cobb grew hot under his fancy collar. The captain had been publicly accused of two heinous crimes: illicit slave trading and knowingly sailing a diseased ship into Boston harbor. If found guilty on either account—to say nothing of both—he would face stiff punishment. Evading quarantine regulations could earn a ship captain six months in jail or a fine of $1,000. As for contraband slave trafficking, it had become a federal offense a full decade earlier. Shortly after these incidents took place, in fact, Congress passed the Act of 1820 equating slave trading with piracy and making it punishable by death. On 26 August 1819, Cobb penned a vehement rebuttal to the allegations that had been lodged against him. A week later, his indignant statement was printed in the Columbian Centinel. 174 The Journal of the Cape Cod Genealogical Society “Having been credibly informed that a report is in circulation, that I was engaged during my last voyage in the traffick [sic] of slaves, I feel myself thus publicly called upon to declare, that if the reporter or reporters of such detestible [sic] falsehood will disclose themselves, that I will not give them the trouble to substantiate their report, but will take the entire burden on myself of proving him or them liars, and defamers of character. At the same time I beg leave to express to the inhabitants of the town of Boston generally, my painful regrets, that the return of the ship Ten Brothers should be the cause of so much distress and alarm to them, after the distressing scenes which I have been compelled to encounter during my late voyage in her. But I feel confident that a generous public will acquit me of having had any idea of contagion on board, or brand me as the most unfeeling brute in existence, when they are informed that I received my wife and two children on board in Quarantine Road; that they remained on board, ate, drank, etc. and came to Boston in said ship. I am also informed, that it is said I deceived the Health Officers in order to obtain pratique by back dates, etc. etc. To this report I shall only observe, that when my health will permit me to visit the town of Boston, I pledge myself to prove to the Honorable Board of Health, that this report also is as false as it is malicious.” (Signed) ELIJAH COBB Late Master of the ship Ten Brothers, from the coast of Africa, via Martinico. Brewster, Aug 26, 1819. This statement deserves more attention than present constraints allow. In Part II of this article, I will describe the shocking events that occurred in the days, weeks, and months following the Ten Brothers’ return to Boston through a detailed analysis of archival materials. In closing this first chapter, which I have devoted to the voyage itself, it seems important to underscore the fact that two hundred years ago, every head of household in Brewster would have known that the people of Boston had accused Elijah Cobb of slave trading. And it strikes me as worth pondering how we, as a community, came to forget so essential a fact, preferring instead to celebrate him uncritically. What does it mean that the shipmaster’s commentators have consistently turned a blind eye to the highly suspicious circumstances surrounding his African trading voyages? As we reverently maintain the gravesites of those who died on the fateful voyage of 1818–19, why hasn’t it occurred to us to wonder if there were other casualties, from other communities, as the vessel advanced along its triangular trajectory? And Volume 9, No. 2 [Fall 2019] 175 what are we to make of the fact that, contrary to all previous claims, the Ten Brothers was not actually destroyed after the Board of Health ordered it scuttled and sunk back in 1819? Indeed, I discovered that the Diseased Ship sailed on in 1820. And the yellow fever epidemic it imported to Boston? It spread. Part II of this article will appear in the Spring issue of the Cape Cod Genealogical Journal. 1 Among the owners of the ship Ten Brothers were Israel Thorndike, Jr., whose father was then considered the wealthiest man in New England, and William Dodge of Ipswich, whose continuous investment in the Ten Brothers dated back to 1812. Israel Thorndike, Sr. made at least part of his sizeable fortune in the slave trade. In a letter dated October 4, 1791, “Brown & Thorndike, owners,” gave sailing orders to Nicholas Thorndike, master: “proceed to Cape Francis…& purchas from five to fourteen good negroes, as the price may be, & lay in such food for them as is best suited to preserve their Health & proceed to the Havanna, in the Island of Cuba youl. be Very Carefull to keep them well Secured at all times, & on your arrival youl sell them for the most that Can be Obtained, & purchas as much Molasses as your Vessel will stow.” Israel Thorndike, Sr. was also active in privateering and in the China trade before refocusing his energies on textile manufacturing.

It is likely, in fact, that he had been exposed on some previous voyage and developed an immunity. 34 This corresponds to the vessel’s itinerary as described in the report published by the Board of Health.

It became absolutely pestilential. The closeness of the place, and the heat of the climate, added to the number in the ship, which was so crowded that each had scarcely room to turn himself, almost suffocated us...

Meadow Dibble, PhD Public History & Education Consulting, LLC Harris-Black House Research I recently reached out to Beth Finch, a docent for the Brewster Historical Society who interprets the Harris-Black House now located at Brewster ’s Drummer Boy Park. I had a distant recollection of having learned that the Harris-Black house was in fact owned and occupied by a Black (that is, African-descended) family. Yet, when I watched the BHS video about the site, the family ’s Black heritage is nowhere mentioned. On the 1840 census, Nathan and Elizabeth Harris Black were indeed listed as “free people of color,” meaning that they had African ancestry, even if they might also have had Indigenous ancestry. I feel it is very important that the Brewster Historical Society acknowledge this fact in their interpretations of the Harris-Black house. Family history should be researched as exhaustively as possible, in collaboration with descendants. The results should be made available to the public on the BHS website and elsewhere. A plaque should be affixed to the house. The Robbins House in Concord and the Royall House and Slave Quarters in Medford offer good examples of how such historic house museums owned and occupied by enslaved or free people of color should be interpreted. In the Brewster Historical Society video, Beth Finch states that Elisebeth/Elizabeth Harris Black inherited the house in question and that she married “Nathan Black, the first Nathan Black of that name. They were married in 1822… He came from South Yarmouth." According to my research, in 1800, Nathan Black is listed in the US Census as head of a household of five in Harwich under the category “All other free persons except Indians not ____.” Also grouped in this category are Jese Cesar, John Homes, Jesse Cesar, and Reuben Fortune. The Nathan Black of the 1800 census can obviously NOT be the one born in 1799 who married Elisebeth Harris Black and who, according to the BHS video, came to inhabit the Harris-Black House. The first Nathan Black was already raising a family in Brewster… did another actually come from South Yarmouth, I wonder? Or was he perhaps one of the five members of the elder Nathan Black’s household in 1800? meadow_dibble@brown.edu |www.atlanticblackbox.com | 774-722-9036 1 Meadow Dibble, PhD Public History & Education Consulting, LLC Down from a total of 29 free persons of color listed as having resided in Brewster/Harwich in 1800, the 1810 census lists only three individuals under “all other persons except Indians” in Brewster and one in Harwich. I find no reference to Nathan Black, as names are not given. I was again unable to find the Black family in the 1820 census, though in the combined categories of “colored males” and “colored females” there are 15 people of color said to be living in Brewster out of a total population of 1,285. The census of 1830 uses the category “Free Colored Persons,” of which there are a total of 13; this is where I found Nathan Black, whose family now numbers 8; also listed in this category are heads of household Susan Toby and Jedidiah Cesar. The 1840 census also uses the “Free Colored Persons” category. Now Nathan Black’s family includes 10 members and there are a total of 19 people of color living in Brewster—two of them under the roofs and presumably in the employ of white households. If the 1850 census uses the general terms “Col. males” (5) and “Col. females” (4), this time every member of Nathan Black's household is named and the race of each is listed as “Black.” By 1860, however, the Blacks are no longer classified as “Black” but rather as “Mulatto”—all but Susanna, that is, who is “White.” Nathan, Elizabeth, Elizabeth Harris, and Julietta Chase were all also designated as “paupers” at this time. Oddly, the 1870 census tally lists no people of color in the town of Brewster. Still, every member of the Black family comes up as “Mulatto” with the exception of Bridget (white, from Ireland) and Elizabeth, who mysteriously is now “White” after having been previously listed as both “Black” and “Mulatto.” In 1880, Elizabeth is again confirmed in her new status as “White.” Nathan Black (age 35) has also become “White,” as have all his kids. It is here, in 1880, that the Cash family appears, with George listed as “Black,” his wife “White,” and their children “Mulatto." There can be no doubt but that the Nathan Black family were people of African heritage. The fact that the 1850 census lists every family member in the Black household as “Black” should clear up any confusion created by the changing census categories from one decade to the next. meadow_dibble@brown.edu |www.atlanticblackbox.com | 774-722-9036 2 Meadow Dibble, PhD Public History & Education Consulting, LLC It is of course possible that the Black family had some Indigenous ancestry as well, perhaps on Elisebeth/Elizabeth Harris Black’s side. It seems especially plausible given the matrilineal custom reenacted down through the generations of deeding the property to the woman rather than the man. I have to imagine that people at the Brewster Historical Society combed through all of the same census records I did in an effort to learn more about the former owners and inhabitants of the Harris-Black House. They must have seen, like me, that the Black family was alternately categorized under “All other free persons except Indians…” and “Free Colored Persons” and “Black” and “Mulatto” over nearly a century before eventually being called “White." Why did no one at BHS think it worth mentioning that these were people of color? The fact that Nathan Black’s family was Black—and not only that, but that they were among only a handful of others and were the most longstanding family of color in Brewster— should radically change the way in which that building is interpreted.
