At the end of the day on Monday LuCille Chin handed over the keys to LuCille's Dinette to her kitchen manager, Paul Francouer. Seven years ago LuCille and her husband, Michael Chin, opened the restaurant for breakfast and lunch and planned to run it for 10 years. But the restaurant became immensely popular, and lines of customers often stretched outside. For at least a week there has been a blank space where a photograph of Star Island once hung in town hall.
Artists usually pour their heart and soul into what they do.
Artwork that adorns the walls of the entranceway to the town hall has been enjoyed by many over the years, Brennan said. Many artists have donated their work for display in the town hall entranceway, and Brennan fears the theft could deter others from showing their works. Police are investigating. Selectman Robert Heaton said the delay will allow selectmen to meet with cemetery trustees to iron out a public disagreement. The timeout will also allow officials to review a potential arrangement with the Audubon Society to preserve rare birds found at the fields.
