Steve Bernier says he’s excited to bring new energy and new
resources to The Times. Read more here.

install a new, 60-foot antenna at Chilmark’s fire station at North Road. This would allow wider coverage for up-Island listeners and let the station broadcast the FCC’s Emergency Alert System when needed. Get the details here.

Three decades quietly leadingPeter and Barbara Oberfest have been publishers at the MV Times for nearly 30 years before handing over publishing duties to Steve Bernier and Charlie Sennott at the start of the new year. The editors we heard from told us they led the paper by giving the journalists reign to cover the important stories in the community. Read that story here.

Boldwater Waterfront Estate, Edgartown Sponsored Spectacular 35-acre Boldwater Association waterfront estate on Edgartown Great Pond with breathtaking views over 1,000 ft. wide, including a low, brushy pond in the front terrain, the 3/4-mile wide Lyles Bay, dreamy Swan Neck Point, the 1 1/2-mile wide main pond, and a barrier beach to the ocean beyond. The handful of well-pruned
trees on the property enhance the water views. The sophisticated and charming quality house was built by Andrew Flake, arguably the finest Vineyard builder over the last 40 years. Mark Hutker created an innovative design with an arc-shape nautical theme, so every room faces the water. The 3 second-floor bedrooms enjoy large terraces, and the primary bedroom on the first floor opens to a nice deck and a quiet garden sanctuary. The handmade, luxury, kitchen cabinetry and extensive woodworking were done by Smallbone, a British Company noted for time-honored design and craftsmanship. Adding to this estate, reflecting decades of careful planning and development, is a lovely private pool and pool house, 4-room guest suite over the garage with a large deck, two stone-wall-enclosed specimen fruit tree meadows, a large field circled by a grand stone wall, an idyllic lily pond, and two miles of private trails. Last but not least, are 14+ abutting sub-dividable acres into
potentially 3-4 lots. Keep boats and small craft on your mooring at the water's edge for a short trip to the 3,000 ft. Boldwater private beach. Boldwater is 30 homesites on 450 acres with 150 acres of conservation, and it abuts approximately 1,500 acres of conservation lands and a few large estates. A most remarkable rural area convenient to town and the airport.
