Charlie Baker announced Thursday that live music would again be allowed at restaurants Monday, general manager Jon Bercume started to contact drummer Bart Weisman to let him know his band was welcome back next week at the Cape Codder Resort & Spa. Weisman had already emailed him first. And by 4 p.m., Weisman had let the media know that his Bart Weisman Jazz Group — wearing masks and distanced from diners — would again be playing at the resort’s Gra...

Marshall Slocum The comments and opinions of 367 Brewster residents have been making their way to town hall lately. Hopefully they’ll be heard and result in an improved design for the Millstone Road project.  That would be good news.  It’s a controversy that has garnered much attention.  The bad news is this debacle could happen again and again in Brewster and other Cape towns, unless we are diligent, and pay attention.  Why?  Because of a little known MassDOT program called Complete S...

Don Wilding There aren’t many people who have been aboard a sinking vessel 390 miles at sea, then stayed adrift in stormy conditions for eight days and nights, and lived to tell about it. Not only did Ulah Deer of Chatham achieve just that, she and the crew of the Fred Richards managed to get back to land just in time to celebrate Christmas in 1890.
