At the very top of your list of things to do — and which will only take a half hour — should be a visit to Mytoi Garden.

In years past I have been able to get away every spring. I had determined from experience that two weeks away would help me to withstand the two hectic months of summer on the Chappy Ferry.

Bob and Marvene O'Rourke are again osprey spotting for ornithologist Rob Bierregaard, who has been tracking and recording an Island census of the raptors for 25 years.

One of the options that the Chappy Ferry steering committee has come up with to address the issue of the length of time that people have to wait in line with their vehicles is a bridge.

The time has come for the establishment of two separate vehicle waiting lines for the Chappy Ferry.

One of my duties in the Chappy fire department years ago was to speak at the Chappaquiddick Island Association meetings about the need to cut back the vegetation along driveways so that the firefighters could get to a house fire without knocking equipment off the sides of the trucks.

Recalling other structures on Chappy that have disappeared, I remembered the windmill at Walter Wood's house next to the Chappy Beach Club.

The Chappaquiddick Community Center website is fully updated with sign-up information for the programs planned for the 2023 season.

This is part two of the accounting of Chappy houses that have vanished.

Many houses are torn down or even lost to fire on Chappy, but they are quickly replaced by new houses.
