A panel discussion at Stillpoint in West Tisbury on Sunday aimed to consider the Wampanoag perspective on climate change.

On Friday, the town gathered to reminisce on the move and celebrate the final step of the preservation project.

At an informational meeting Wednesday, Fire Chief Alex Schaeffer introduced the project, which features a 16,500 square-foot station, almost double the size of the current building.

The U.S. Coast Guard installed a new LED beacon into the Gay Head Lighthouse in Aquinnah on Wednesday morning, the last major step in an eight-month long restoration project. 

The drum and bugle corps is on screen for just a few seconds in Jaws, reminding the audience that the height of summer is near. But for the Island kids in that band, the scene lasts a lifetime.

The Jaws 50th celebration officially gets underway this weekend, but Island businesses have been hard at work in the preceding months gearing up with merchandise tied to the iconic film.
