Letters To The Editor: Nov. 12, 2026

The Chatham Zoning Board of Appeals’ recent denial of the Meetinghouse Road housing proposal may feel like a victory for some, but it is worth looking past the rhetoric to examine the actual trajectory of our town. As current stewards of Chatham, we are called upon to mitigate the subtle assault we are facing — the beautiful delusion of opulence that treats our community as a luxury commodity rather than a living town.

Our View: Move Forward With Sea Camps

The more than $1.7 million that Brewster voters will be asked to spend on capital improvements to the Sea Camps bay property at Monday’s special town meeting is an investment worth making. The defeat of master plan funding for the property was a setback; on Nov. 16 voters have an opportunity to put rehabilitation of the property back on track. The money, which comes from community preservation funds and free cash, will rehabilitate tennis courts, allow demolition of up to 21 buildings, replace a water main in an environmentally sensitive area and develop landscaping and trail plans. The property holds the potential for being a real centerpiece for the town, and these steps will continue movement in that direction.

Acushnet’s St. Gelais flips seat from Dem to Rep

Last week’s election results took a little bit longer to count than usual. The Neighb News had to go to print with some races and ballot questions still not decided. Now, 99% of the votes are in. Domestic mailed-in ballots postmarked by 11/3 had to be in by 11/6. Ballots mailed from outside the US have until 11/13 to arrive and still be counted. So counting cannot be finished until after then. The results need to be certified by 11/18.

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.

Most people know him as Father Paul, but you can call him General

In 1984, Paul K. Hurley graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army, eventually becoming a captain of artillery in the famed 82nd Airborne Division.
