Answering the callThe West Tisbury select board pondered a possible bonus for Jennelle Gadowski who rose to the occasion during the migrant situation last month. Gadowski filled in for emergency management director Russell Hartenstine and ended up working more than 30 hours in an effort to assist the migrants. While the select board appreciates Gadowski’s efforts, they
feared setting a precedent with a bonus payment and took no vote. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this story.

Quote of the Day
"I was just going to say, Well, there’s one day we can’t really collaborate too much, but the other 364 days, we should really work together more." –Nantucket select board chair Jason Bridges referring to the Island Cup rivalry between Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard high school football teamsHot Topic CommentTim Johnson commented on the situation involving Joe Capobianco at Good Shepherd Parish. "There are many on this island that only know Joe for the wonderful things he has done on behalf of the community. His efforts will be missed, but never forgotten."Hot Topic LetterJames Malkin, the Vineyard’s representative on the Steamship Authority board, wrote to alert Vineyarders to some votes that spared them paying more for ferry service. "... As Islanders have had issues booking vehicle space off and back on the Island, the SSA has doubled the trips available for early booking under the Headstart program, which opens to Islanders prior to other travelers — rather than five trips, as in the past, this year there will be 10 trips available; this will help for preplanning off-Island travel."

Today: Cook with Chef Look at the Edgartown library tonight. He really caught my eye with this one: Elote Panzanella Salad (Mexican Street Corn Bread Salad). I will try a good panzanella any day of the week, and if you add street corn that only
makes it better. 5 pm. –Connie Berry
Something strange is happening at the Oak Bluffs library. There’s a mad scientist who’s trying to turn everyone into werewolves and they need you to help unlock the antidote during Escape the Library. Don’t let them down. I’m afraid of werewolves. 6 pm. –C.B.

Morris’ work highlights the tragedies of child labor, climate change, and the impacts that developed nations are having on the world. Read Abby Remer’s story on the powerful initiative here.
