One can never be too careful these days. Two women were out for a stroll along the old Hyannis Railroad Wharf jetty near Keyes Beach in Hyannis, when they discovered some type of firearm lodged between the jetty’s boulders. They didn’t want to mess with it and called police. A Barnstable Patrolman arrived and found an Uzi, but it wasn’t a real Uzi. It was made out of plastic, some type of pellet gun or toy. It’s not unusual for police officers to recover firearms…

Edgartown residents have served notice that they want to block the growth of McMansions that have increasingly appeared along the historic town’s waterfront and elsewhere.

Visiting Vet: Captain Jack »
Wed, 22 May 2024 15:22:43 -0400 | via Martha's Vineyard Times
Captain Jack was a bad cat. Even as a tiny kitten, found abandoned in a church alleyway in Worcester, he had cattitude. A little, long-haired tabby, he strutted in his cage at the city shelter like a lion. I wanted him. One daughter agreed, so we brought him home, along with an orange tiger kitten for my other child. In his prime, Jack was a huge fluff ball. Like most Island folks with big, shaggy tabbies of unknown ancestry, we claimed he was part Maine coon — a breed thought to be descended from…

Memorial Day Weekend is a lovely time on the Island. It is a time to savor the blooming flowers. Soak up moments when the sun is shining and the wind is calm. Brave dips in the refreshing and no-longer-immediately-bone-achingly-cold salt water. It is a time when we pull out kayaks, remove spiders, and hose off dust. It is a time when we check the life vests, and ponder upgrades to accommodate the broadening range of children and adults. Maybe there will be time to truck the dinghy to the pond and,…

Things, she feels, are finally looking up, and the upward trend continues when her dear friend, Lizzie, invites her down to her brother’s house on Cape Cod.
