is made up of three villages; South Yarmouth, West Yarmouth and Yarmouth Port. There are three libraries, one in each village. Yarmouth boast fifteen

and many hiking and conservation trails. |
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.

ROOKIE SPOTS PEDESTRIAN SWIGGING, TOSSING SPENT NIP BOTTLE, COPS SAY? Saturday March 29, 2025 |
SOUTH YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS ? According to a Yarmouth Police Department media statement, one of their brand new, rookie patrol officers (still in field training) observed a man walking along Route 28 while drinking a ?nip.? Upon polishing off the booze, the man was reportedly observed throwing the empty bottle into some nearby brush. That sort of thing doesn't fly in the Town of Yarmouth ? other Cape towns, maybe ? but not Yarmouth!
The new officer confronted Walter Harrison, 47, of East Falmouth, about the littering. And upon further investigation, it was learned Harrison was wanted on felony warrants. (The media statement does not mention what the felony warrants were for?) Harrison was eventually transported back to YPD Headquarters in custody to be booked on the warrants. He was also issued a citation for littering. (The rookie cop who lugged the alleged litterbug was not named in the media statement.)
No further details available at the time of this report.
P.S. ? Today's Hytown Vignette is brought to you by Albert Collins? [CLICK IT/CRANK IT! HEADPHONES ABSOLUTELY OBLIGATORY!]
* The details contained in the above report are based on a Yarmouth PD media statement. The accused litterbug with aforementioned felony warrants is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. |
