The 2013 American Cancer Society’s Daffodil Days were a resounding success! Thanks to the volunteers who pre-sold bouquets, those who made deliveries and the many who purchased daffodils on the sale days, over $10,000 dollars were raised. Cash donations enabled bouquets to be delivered to Windemere, each town’s senior center and to Island nursing homes on Tuesday
I am a 13-year-old eighth grader at Orchard View Middle School. I am five foot nine and a half inches tall. I am a tech teenager who knows a lot about gaming consoles, computers and cell phones. I basically know as much technology as a 30-year-old would if he is working at Apple, Google, Microsoft or Sony.

Well, it is spring but winter refuses to leave on schedule. Last Friday we awoke to a seven-inch snowfall. Now if the jet stream would kindly move north we could enjoy a taste of spring. Today is Good Friday and the beginning of the Easter weekend. Monday is April Fool’s Day, so be wary of practical jokes.
Chilmark has every reason to be proud of its citizens who volunteer to challenge some of the town’s problems and needs. It isn’t easy to find time in our busy lives of the 21st century to do pro bono work for a town, but some people do it every day.

Elisha Smith was my son’s great grandfather. Chris Clark could not pronounce Elisha’s name when he was little, but he visited one of ’Lisha’s farms every Sunday and took to calling him “Papa Moo.” We all knew and loved Elisha. He was the total farmer. Elisha could hold forth on farming and taught many generations of his family his skills,
After extensive public input last summer, the transportation committee working on redesign of the Chappaquiddick Point has come up with a final design. This spring, a roundabout will be built where the traffic from the ferry, the waiting line, the main road, and the parking lot converge.
