Hello, Caleb
Lauriete Miller and Ubaldo C. Miller of Oak Bluffs announce the birth of a son, Caleb Nunes Miller, born on Dec. 23 at the Martha’s Vineyard Community Hospital. Caleb weighed 8 pounds, 2 ounces at birth.
Streetlights glimmering overhead, breath conjuring clouds in the chilly air, I spring after the guy lugging a strung-up stack of newspapers into the hotel, wondering if my scrawny arms could lift the day’s news. It’s quarter to six in the morning, heading to the gym.

The temperatures may be dropping outside but a fiery blaze made it feel like a sultry August afternoon in November as the boys, plus Kara and Morgan, practiced their skills during a smoking hot drill.
The controlled burn took place over a two-day period with all engine companies participating, including one from Oak Bluffs. The ability to burn a building in this manner allows for practical skills to be learned by our fervent firefighters.
When three golden girls from East Chop went swimming Tuesday morning, they had little trouble finding their spot at the beach.
No beach towels were in the way, nor were there children on the shoreline to dodge, as they sped down into the water in front of the East Chop Beach Club.
Except for a stiff, bitterly cold arctic blast from the southeast, all was quiet at the beach club. The temperature was in the 30s.
And there was no shortage of space amid the rolling waves in the 39-degree seawater for the swimmers at the popular summer beach.
