I hope you are pulling out your sewing kits and hot glue guns and making some creative costumes.

There are two kinds of Chappaquiddick ferry boat captains.

I am writing this column to you while on a family vacation in New Mexico, within a landscape that could not be more different than our own on Chappaquiddick.

Chappaquiddick island appears to be a hotbed of activity for the invasion of the Lone Star tick.

The light on the Pimpneymouse Farm field early this morning was, quite simply, breathtaking.

The autumnal equinox will occur at 9:54 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22.

My family and I were in Vermont for a wedding this weekend and it seems that fall settled into Chappaquiddick while we were away.

The Chappaquiddick Community Center kept lots of folks busy this summer with a huge variety of activities and programs for young and old.

I am 86 years old, and I seem to spend a lot of time thinking mostly about peace.

The water at East Beach was so clear over the weekend. Usually the visibility is obscured by some seaweed or silt, but this weekend, the sandy ocean bottom, all sifted into ridges, could be clearly seen from the water’s surface. Fish darted under kicking toes and a jellyfish floated quietly by one swimmer who spotted it and quickly went the other way. A group of terns arrived, careening into the water at top speed and coming up with small prey. Beach-goers lazed under umbrellas, transitioning seamlessly between ocean dips and sun soaking.
