The Minute:
Remember to change your clocks on Sunday morning. It’ll be getting darker earlier now, but on the bright side, it’ll be lighter in the morning (When will daylight savings be canceled… ). Also, the National Weather Service has issued a red-flag warning for wildfires today because of winds and dry conditions.

For God's sake it's Sunday |
I’ve been thinking a lot about death these days. Maybe it’s the dry and curling leaves on the side of the road. Maybe it’s because on the obituary page, they give the ages of the deceased, and they’re all younger than me. Or maybe it’s because we have so many recent losses on the Island.

Saturday |
Celebrate the 30th anniversary of our community barn raising. Visit the Ag Hall from 10 am to 1 pm to enjoy snacks and warm drinks while working to construct a barn of your own from candy, cardboard, craft and more.

Thirty years later, community members still make all the Ag Hall’s work possible, and they can't wait to celebrate with the Island. Saturday, Nov. 2, from 7 to 10 pm at the Ag Hall in West Tisbury.
