The small, uninhabited island south of the Vineyard could play a key role in boosting the dwindling population of New England cottontail rabbits.

Island hunters took nearly 800 deer during the 2017 deer hunting season, the highest harvest in at least 16 years, according to recently released state data.

A Vineyard Haven contractor has been selected to lease and restore the old Yellow House in Edgartown after emerging as the winning bidder.

More than 30 Vineyard students were honored in this year’s Boston Globe Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.

The popular restaurant and bar on Main street Edgartown, will soon be under new ownership. Owners Scott and Charlotte Caskey have an agreement to sell.

A proposal from an Island contractor to redevelop the Yellow House was easily approved Monday by a town subcommittee.
