Ferry service on the Seastreak has been suspended through Sept. 3, the company announced this week.

The Oak Bluffs select board voted Tuesday to allow Seastreak to run its off-season service out of the town's harbor.

Robert Davis received a 4 per cent salary increase, retroactive to July 1, following his annual performance review by the boat line board of governors Tuesday.
