The Island’s only family campground, with 180 campsites and dozens of cabins and RV sites that pepper the woods in Tisbury during the summer, was acquired on Wednesday by a holdings company that has a wide portfolio of campsites and resorts across the country. Northgate Holdings, a Michigan-based holdings company that Northgate Resorts operates under, purchased Martha’s Vineyard Family Campground, located at 569 Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road, this week. The news of the acquisition comes just…
At many times during a typical day, the YMCA (“the Y”) is filled with student laughter and chatter as they head to the gym or pool, spend time in the teen center, or enjoy food from Aquila, a native-owned cafe located within the building. Those pastimes came mostly to a halt at the end of March, when the YMCA closed for renovations and expansion — shifting some of their workout equipment and classes over to the adjacent ice arena. The renovation will result in a much larger facility that will…
At many times during a Every Islander knows the drill: stuck in a line of traffic, slowly navigating one of the inescapable left-turn-fueled bottlenecks that bedevil our Island. Bored and possibly annoyed, we turn to our radios, hoping for a distraction to help pass the time. This was my plight a few years back, crawling toward Cronig’s Market in Vineyard Haven in my old Jeep. Summer congestion at least affords an opportunity to explore the dial. I gambled with the scan button, prepared to…

At Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS), open campus is a period in the school day when seniors are free to leave the school building and use the time as they choose. It has become a senior rite of passage built on small routines and everyday traditions, with students reporting they are feeling a newfound sense of independence and motivation in their efforts to keep the privilege during their final year in high school. Open campus started in the fall of 2018 as the result…

Charley and I have a big porch that wraps around two sides of our house. One side faces the northeast, the other faces southwest. For much of winter, Charley did his writing bundled up, sitting outside on the southwest side, where he was sheltered from the wind but comforted by the rather feeble warmth of the sun. Now, however, as the world has turned, it became obvious that it was time to bring out the furnishings for the northeast-facing porch. Last Friday we spent a few hours out there basking…

The daffodils are busting open. The dark-green-leafed andromeda is festooned in blossoms that remind me of grand strands of pearls. It is fun to strip them off their pedicels and to cut spent daffodils into confetti until the basket is full, and then scatter them at the base of boulders and favorite trees and into pictures on the lawn where you’d hoped to plant the bulbs you’d meant to separate from the crowded clusters, and to give yourself grace because many things are changing and responding…
