Last Sunday could have been a summer day at Wasque.

As the end of the year approaches please consider a donation to the Chappy Community Center.

I am so saddened to report the passing of Chappaquiddick resident Allyson Getsinger on Oct. 18 after a 10-month battle against cancer.

A celebration of the life of Richard Knight, Jr. is planned for June 19 next summer.

This past Monday was Indigenous’ Peoples Day. Let us for a moment, remember the history of Chappaquiddick, an island named for the Wampanoag word tchepi-aquidenet, meaning “separate island”.

Just a reminder, when the derby ends so does the summer schedule on the Chappy Ferry.

So, let’s say that you are one of the folks who have decided to stay on the islands this winter.

The Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby began this week and runs to Saturday, Oct. 17.

When I was a kid, the Tuesday after Labor Day, you couldn’t buy an ice cream cone or a T-shirt with words on it in all of Edgartown.

Most mornings I am up early, often just as the sun begins to rise.
