There’s been a lot of growling and some whining around one of the few remaining animal health care providers on the Island, which could be losing its space at the Martha’s Vineyard Airport. Owners at Animal Health Care say they are threatened with closure, as the clinic will have to win a public bidding process to stay at their current location. If they are the winning bidders, they will inevitably have to pay a lot more to continue in their current location. Island pet owners are right to…
We’ve all come up with different phrases for it: “the beginning of the end”; “the last chapter.” Here we all are in our “sunset years.” These adages hardly summon our “golden years.” We are elderly, achy, worn out, ugly (sorry, but true dat), gray, and hobbled. So it might surprise you to learn that dozens of psych tests — more than dozens, scads of psych tests — reveal that, even though we limp along, beyond limping, as we crawl on desert sands with bleeding knees, hoping for…
Easter is right around the corner. For religious Christians, Easter is a time for celebrating their faith. For more secular folks, it is still a time of celebration. It’s spring. It’s a time for family, for fun, for Easter egg hunts and marshmallow Peeps … and for Easter lilies. This means that, for veterinarians, it is a time for anxiety. Let’s talk about lilies and cats. In case you haven’t heard this before, here’s a public service announcement: Lilies are lethal to cats. Seriously.…
This time of year is full of contrasts. Beautiful sunny days can be followed by cold, rain, and high winds. It is too soon to stow away the gloves, but the flowers have started to bloom in earnest.

Spring cleanup calls, and it takes discipline to drop off at the Dumptique or the thrift store without coming home with something. This season I need to clear space. March was Women’s History Month and I want to give…
My friend Carla Cuch and I are part of the Aquinnah Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Our volunteer assignment is to oversee a daytime shelter, if it is ever needed, in case of an emergency. The warming/cooling center (depending on the season) won’t be providing meals, but we are to provide snacks and beverages geared toward the comfort of those seeking shelter. Being as how we don’t want to make anyone sick as we do so, we both signed up for the ServSafe Manager course. The four-hour…

The thing about Riggs Parker is that he was relentless. In a good way. Indeed, in his service to Chilmark as selectman and to the broader Island community as Vineyard representative to the Steamship Authority, Riggs was an exemplary student of each job, its vital role in the community, and its demand that, discomfiting as it may be, leadership must be forward looking. He did his homework carefully and extensively, and in each role the positions he took he did not relinquish. Riggs died…

A few weeks ago, a “last call before it goes to the dump” Facebook post offered a desk and chair. It has eight drawers. I’d been using a borrowed-from-the-family drop-leaf table and cardboard Ikea boxes that were starting to melt. I knew enough to take measurements of the front door and the space I wanted to put it. It was large but not too large. Heavy but not too heavy. Memories of expensive trips to the dump with furniture I’d imagined would work kept me grounded. It would fit. My friend…
