Ordnance Cleanup
A project to remove old military ordnance at South Beach in Edgartown and Cape Pogue Wildlife Refuge on Chappaquiddick gets under way next week and continues through the month of May.
Cape Pogue was used as a practice target bombing site in the 1940s during the war years. South Beach was also used for military training exercises and was the site of a gunnery range. Buried ordnance has surfaced on the beaches as a result of naturally occurring erosion.
As the weather warms, so do high school athletics, and several teams surged out of the gate early this spring, including girls’ lacrosse, girls’ softball, baseball and the ever-steady track team.
