Just over 20 years ago this week, the Island’s smallest town voted to rebrand itself from Gay Head to Aquinnah, the area’s original Native American name.

Aquinnah will call a special town meeting next month to vote on funding requests left off the annual warrant due to an error by school administrators.

Two state grants totaling $71,000 will go toward the restoration of the historic Vanderhoop Homestead in Aquinnah, town leaders learned late last week.

Three Island towns have taken a first step toward restricting herbicide use after years of concern over the longstanding practice of spraying beneath power lines by the utility giant Eversource.

Confusion over budget line items and missing warrant articles made for a messy annual town meeting in Aquinnah.

As the season reaches the midway point, several teams are asserting their dominance while others are recouping from hard-fought losses.
