Man who sped off Oak Bluffs pier dies »

A case against a man accused of ramming into a police cruiser and driving off of the Steamship Authority pier in Oak Bluffs last year has been closed after the suspect passed away.  Justin LeBlanc, a 51-year-old man from Oak Bluffs, died in Tisbury.  Both Cass Luskin, LeBlanc’s attorney, and Tisbury Police Lt. Bill Brigham said they could not comment on the man’s passing. “Due to the personal and sensitive nature of his passing and with respect to his family, we cannot comment on his death,”…

‘The Brutalist,’ a film by Brady Corbet and Mona Fastvold »

Director Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist” is both intimate and epic. It is an intense exploration of one man’s complicated life during post–World War II in America. Corbet and his co-writer, Mona Fastvold, created the original screenplay, which they did not base on a real person or a novel, but crafted from their imaginations. The film begins with a confusing, noisy scene in the near dark, where people are being herded to some unknown place. Suddenly, emerging from what turns out to be the…

Celebrating our MVRHS Graduates: Jarret Campbell »

Jarrett Campbell graduated in 2000 from MVRHS. At the high school, Jarrett says, he just wanted to make his mom proud of him. He got involved in sports (football and track) and dramatic productions (“The Wiz” and “Little Shop of Horrors”). I remember him always with a smile on his face and a hand to help. He had a good attitude, and wanted to make the best out of high school. This attitude has worked for Jarrett not only at MVRHS but throughout his life. After high school, he wasn’t sure…

Included in this number, which I suspect skews low, there are books by first-time authors like Dan Martino’s “The Oyster Book”; books by the chroniclers of the Island, like Tom Dresser, Skip Finley, and Linsey Lee; books by best-selling and Pulitzer prizewinning authors — Geraldine Brooks and David McCullough come to mind…

Writing from the Heart: ‘Middlemarch’ redux »

Dear everyone who read my last column about the classic book “Middlemarch” –– for those of you who didn’t read it (my column, not “Middlemarch”), thank God. Don’t. It’s one of those “I was just naked in front of a whole bunch of people, and I wasn’t pretty …” Basically, the column was an admission (unfortunately with no shame) of never having read “Middlemarch.” And the piece ends with what I thought was humor (but I now know was arrogance): And I’m not going to read…
