Let’s talk turkey. I have been known to say that, until I moved here 42 years ago from New York, I thought wild turkey was an alcoholic beverage.

My favorite week of the summer has arrived: fair week!

The regional high school committee this week continued to grapple with how to handle gender-specific chaperoning of sports teams for off-Island events.

A multifaith, multiracial panel at the West Tisbury Congregrational Church dug deeply into the topic, Bridging the Deep Divides: a Conversation on Faith.

As legal marijuana use edges closer to the Island’s mainstream, a group of community leaders concerned about potential negative effects on young people has assembled.

Giant hogweed could be a pig in a poke for Islanders.

Two weeks ago it was shearwaters, last week it was the brown booby and now it is a phalarope.

Katelynn and Nathan Lopes of Oak Bluffs announce the birth of a daughter, Rose Wesley Lopes, born on August 8.

Part of me says make life easy, jot a few simple words down that really captures the essence of this week and call it a day. Those words would be: GO TO THE FAIR.

With the fair in full swing, it is hard to believe our summer season is fast becoming history.
