NICKERSON STATE PARK
Travel the road to the upper campgrounds in Nickerson State Park and you may think for a moment that you have been magically transported to the Berkshire Hills or the piney woods of the Carolinas. Nowhere in sight are the sand dunes and salt marshes usually associated with Cape Cod. Instead, you are surrounded by woods that slope down to the banks of eight crystal clear fresh water ponds. Yet, if you walk or bicycle through the woods, you will find no rivers or streams feeding the ponds. These are “kettle ponds,” among more than 300 formed as glaciers retreated from the Cape over 10,000 years ago. Completely dependent on groundwater and precipitation, the water level in the ponds fluctuates from season to season and year to year.

HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? [HN PHOTO NOTES] ? At around 7:00 p.m. last evening, Hyannis Firefighters and Barnstable Police officers rushed toward the Roadhouse Cafe on South Street for a report of an active fire inside the restaurant. The first firefighters on scene found that most of the fire had been extinguished by employees. When firefighters entered, however, they were astounded that most of the diners were still seated at their tables enjoying their food while smoke rolled across the ceiling. The diners were ordered to evacuate immediately. The fire had somehow started in one of the bathrooms, causing significant damage, according to sources. Crews needed to quickly tear into the bathroom walls and ceiling to make sure the fire hadn't spread further. In the end, the fire had been successfully contained to the bathroom area, sources say. The restaurant would need to be closed down for the remainder of the evening, as it was filled with smoke and needed to be ventilated. There were no reports of injuries. A member of the sheriff's crime scene unit responded to take photos of the scene. The Hyannis Fire Department is investigating the cause of the fire?
