Ocean View Hotel Faces Historic Hurdle

A controversial plan for a new hotel in Oak Bluffs faces an uncertain future after a town historic committee refused to give it its blessing last month. On Oct. 13, the Copeland plan review committee voted 3-1 that the proposed Ocean View Hotel was not appropriate for the district. The three-story, 26-room, Victorian-style hotel, backed by Boston-based developer Charles Hajjar, is designed to pay homage to the original Ocean View that burned down in 1965.

Barnstable volleyball eyes Final Four behind championship legacy

BARNSTABLE — One quick way to be upset in state tournament volleyball is to make self-inflicted mistakes. The Barnstable girls volleyball team was not about to do that on Wednesday. In a Division 2 Sweet 16 match against No. 12 Norwood, the No. 5 Red Hawks played mostly error-free volleyball, especially at the service line, in a 3-1 (25-7, 23-25, 25-10, 25-13) victory. For the entire match, the Red Hawks (18-5) committed just four service errors. They did not have a ton of hitting errors, either, and outlasted a Norwood team that never built significant momentum after the visiting Mustangs won the second set. Barnstable coach Tom Turco said the team does not spend a ton of time or attention on serving in practice. Turco could have fooled Norwood. One player who stood out as a server was sophomore Alayna Rodriguez. She was 18-for-19, including an eight-point run at the end of the first set to seal the win. She had two aces during a six-point run in the second set. Turco trusts Rodriguez — who finished with four aces — in that respect. "That's the way she serves," Turco said. "She can hit a dime. That's her gift. She's

It takes about $68,200 – $93,200 a year to raise a young family in New Bedford. The typical household earns $60,900

Housing in New Bedford costs far less than in most of Massachusetts. But add up what a young family can’t do without – healthcare, housing, utilities, child care, groceries, a car and a phone – and the bill comes to far more than most households in the city earn.
