Quote of the Day
"My goal is to take the most difficult issues on the Island we’re facing and that divides us and create programming around that. So, probably anyone on the two poles of any issue would not want to come to Stillpoint. But, anybody who’s willing to take a step toward the middle to explore other people’s points of view, they’re going to find a lot of programming at Stillpoint."–Thomas Bena on
the philosophy behind Stillpoint Hot Topic Comment It seems everyone is talking about Beach Road
Weekend. Don Keller responded to someone complaining about the noise. "I live about a mile away and could hear those booming base lines also. I was really upset about it also, as it was drowning out the lovely sound of my neighbors leaf blower." Hot Topic Letter Annie Cook laments how the Vineyard has changed. "I hope more of us can find a way to cultivate some of the unpretentious grooviness that made the Vineyard I grew up in feel socially safe. We can all do this by being welcoming to people we don’t already know, instead of rejecting them, not buying into one-sided gossip and character assassination (I mean, if you purport to be a 'progressive,' it’s not a good look), and putting less of a focus on gaining power over others. We can practice humility and kindness, in the face of the exceptionally difficult global reality we all face."

A tale to tell
Islander and Hungarian native Gaston Vadasz was born in Budapest during World War II in 1944. He spent two years hidden from the Nazis by a kind family in a small peasant village on the Danube, and escaped over the border at 12 years old with his mother into Austria, where his long journey to the U.S. was just beginning. Vadasz chronicles his incredible life in his recent memoir, "A Glass Always Half Full: A Journey of Hope, Dreams, and Reality." Read writer Abby Remer’s piece on Vadasz and his harrowing tale here.
