Sending off Six Million Baby Quahaugs
When the former Massachusetts State Lobster Hatchery in Oak Bluffs was renamed the John T. Hughes Hatchery and Research Center this spring, it also got a change in purpose. The benefits of that shift are already being released in local coastal ponds.
Through the efforts of a crew from the Martha’s Vineyard Shellfish Group, the hatchery has worked as a nursery for the raising of millions of tiny baby quahaugs. Rick Karney, director of the group, said that he and his staff have been turning over the quahaugs to local shellfish constables.

Oak Bluffs Town Column: June 29
My Best Job Ever had to have been ring boy at The Flying Horses! There could not possibly be more prestigious and influential employment in the Great Watering Place of Cottage City, our beloved town of Oak Bluffs. I got to meet and re-meet friends, old and new, a first glimpse of the cutest girls—and possibly you. How pleased were the parents, the well dressed kids, cotton candy, popcorn—stuff old age diet forbids.
