The Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School varsity girls soccer program is steamrolling their way through the spring season. In the final weeks, they are holding first place in the Cape and Islands League standings, and are on a roll, winning their last two games in shutouts to continue a five-game winning streak. The Vineyard girls are now 11-3-1 overall and 5-0-1 in the Cape and Islands League, defeating the second-place Nauset Regional High School Warriors on Tuesday in a close 1-0 matchup,…
Caleb Nicholson, class of 1993, smiled broadly as he recounted his football glory days at MVRHS. High school was mostly about football and the lifelong friends he made. He was an OK student, but truly gave his all to playing football and winning state titles, which the team did in ’91 and ’92. After high school, he followed the usual college path, attending Westfield State as his uncle, Mark McCarthy, did. Quickly, he realized that it was NOT his path. Instead, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy…
A snag By Don Ogden An owl in the night down the road in dark moonless night in a snag perhaps with knotholes and rough bark out there in the dark like here in a bed pushing back dread for a sound like hope but the old apple tree that once held a swing nearby hollowed out fell over dead last year lying there still as I in this bed. From Don Ogden’s recent book “It’s the Trees” (Levellers Press). He is a lifelong visitor and sometime resident of the Cape and Vineyard. …

It’s finally raining, a softly falling rain, not the heavy nor’easter that has been on the news all week. Maybe it will change. Maybe the rain will get heavy, and wind will whip tree branches and anything else not lashed down. For now, it is a gentle sound outside my windows. I have been thinking about Renee Balter ever since I found out she died last month. She always seemed so full of energy and life, always with a new project to start. Her art, too. Much of it depicted her love of Oak Bluffs.…
A round of applause to our seasonal restaurants and shops that have officially closed for the season! Well done, everyone, you made it to the end, and deserve all the rest. The hospitality industry is not the easiest, and getting through a season in Edgartown should come with a trophy at the end of it, so consider these words your trophy. If you want to rest alongside an industry book that will expand your mind even further than the pressures of seasonal work, and reframes that work, may I suggest…
As the storm approached, fish were biting. Last week was beautiful, and the water was still warm enough to enjoy swimming and boogie-boarding in little waves that broke at low tide on the sandbar off Lucy. Leaves are starting to turn, and the wind is going to blow, but maybe there will be enough left to enjoy fall color. We wonder if the large paper wasp nest hanging from a branch across from MVY Radio will fall. North Tabor Farm is offering preorders of its Chilmark pasture-raised turkeys, whole,…

I write this on Sunday morning as our first nor’easter of the year is gearing up to blow its raucous wild self around our Island. Charley and the cat and I are safe and warm inside, and the house is full of the delicious smells of cooking. I am grateful for this, but my heart is heavy. I try not to read or listen to the news every day, in an attempt to keep my spirit filled with hope and kindness, but I do look at it on Sunday. So here is what I want to say. Like most of us, I recited the Pledge…
