Quote of the Day
"I don’t believe anyone on that board actually appreciates what I’m doing down there the way they’re pushing us around like this."
—Alex Karalekas, Dock Dance Band member, on Edgartown officials decision about the concert's start timeHot Topic Comment"I can remember back in the
1970s there was an employee of the DCR? that lived in the house in the state forest. I can’t remember the man's name. I was in horticulture at MVRHS and part of our curriculum was helping out in the State forest."
—Kim Leonardo on calls for better management in State ForestHot Topic Letter"Question: Why does Peter Pan tell the world that their bus will get to Woods Hole an hour before it actually does?"
—John Hough, Jr. writes to us about frustrations with local transportation
