Search teams spread across more than 2,000 acres of woods, cranberry bogs and ponds in West Barnstable are still looking for Clare Fearon, a 76-year-old woman with dementia who vanished near Pine Street nearly a week ago. Police say there's no indication her disappearance is suspicious, but the scale of the operation — drones, dive teams, K9 units and a regional SWAT team — underscores just how difficult the search has become.

Cape Cod knows Kristin Ingala’s voice. Now watch what she does with her fists

Kristin Ingala , the South Dennis resident whose unmistakable Boston accent made her one of eight finalists in Massport's search for a new "Voice of Logan," didn't win that title. But the popular Chatham Squire bartender is already focused on her next title, and this time she'll lead with her fists, not her voice. A competitive boxer, Ingala is turning her full attention back to the gym, preparing to compete again in the New England Golden Gloves tournament, Jan. 7-25, 2027. And, after that, take the next step in her fighting career. "I am channeling the focus into boxing and hopefully after the Golden Gloves this year I will turn pro," she said. The "Voice of Logan" contest was a "wicked crazy ride," Ingala wrote in a Facebook post, after public voting had closed but before the winner was announced Nov. 5. The contest, which sought a voice that could offer a welcoming first impression to travelers at Boston Logan International Airport, drew nearly 6,000 entries before the final eight were selected. Ingala said she was disappointed not to take that title, which went to Chris Donisi of Burlington, but she's taking it in stride. And the experience brought a

Nantucket Just Dodged A Massive Bullet, But Not Of Its Own Accord

To the editor: Ballot question 7 Nantucket vote: No 51 percent, Yes 49 percent. I could not agree more with Joe Topham regarding the devastatingly negative impact Ballot Question 7 would have had on Nantucket, had it passed. One must ask, however, why he waited until after the voting on Tuesday to voice this concern? The existence of and information on Ballot Question 7 was made available to the public in early September. It’s not as if our officials weren’t aware of it. In the October 29 edition, the I&M reported that Leslie Snell said that neither the Planning Board nor the Nantucket Planning & Economic Development Commission has discussed the question or taken a position on it. How could such an important ballot initiative not have been a focus for the people in our community who are responsible for planning our future? Why was the alarm bell not sounded well BEFORE people voted?

Minks, rats and a Cape Cod legend

Driving past a neighborhood patch of brush and wetlands, I watched as a critter, sleek and dark with a long tail, slid across the road. My brain tried to register similar animals I’ve seen on Cape Cod. But It was too small to be a fisher. And it was too far from significant water to be an otter.
