Congratulations to seasonal Prospect Hill-er Sarah Levy, who has been awarded the Legal Services Award.

We typically hear about the more-established adult artists but occasionally there are children in town who deserve a little recognition, too.

On Feb. 15, we celebrate the 90th birthday of former Chilmark columnist Jane Slater.

Quite often, my dear friend Carl Leaf and I would sit a spell on Squid Row.

I guess her name was Izzy and she barreled up the eastern seaboard, wreaking havoc locally by churning up and raging the seas.

Do you remember when positive was a good thing and negative was, well, negative?

I'm not really a dog person, but my kids are so we added a puppy to our family a few months ago.

We are not the only family making our way through what they call a year of firsts.

He did it. The man in the red suit found enough time in his busy schedule to visit the littlest Chilmarkers.

When you are out and about, be sure to make your way down the Menemsha Crossroad.
