Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.

Almost 30 years ago to the day, South Africa held its first multi-racial election, effectively ending decades of an apartheid government. The old system severely
restricted the rights of the Black majority. But in 1994, Nelson Mandela was elected president, receiving nearly 60 percent of the popular vote. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

A coyote named PicklesThe Narragansett Bay Coyote Study got its start in the early 2000s as a coyote population began growing in the Rhode Island community. Their research led them to Naushon Island, where they studied the newly reintroduced coyotes on the remote island. Farmers complained about missing sheep, but the study’s takeaway was the need to reduce the wild animals anthropogenic food sources. And that’s how Pickles got his name. Read more here.

South Road, Chilmark Sponsored
Authentic and lovely Vineyard homestead on over 6 acres with hedgerow borders and stone walls, this is a special and storied piece of Island history. The sweeping views over farm fields are stunning, filling the windows with light
and with the beauty of this natural rural landscape as it has been for hundreds of years. The 1700s post-and-beam home was originally a "high double house," and it became a three-quarter house with an ell in the 1800s. It retains some original features, like wainscoting and ancient wide-plank floors. The sturdy barn, which was moved to the property in the early 1900s, is ready for it's next chapter as a work barn again, or a recreational space, studio, or entertaining spot. This antique Chilmark home awaits its rejuvenation. The property can support an additional house. Property is being sold AS IS.

Quote of the Day
"The hardest thing we’ve found is changing human behavior. If you can get a population of residents to do that, you can change your whole relationship with them."
— Narragansett Bay Coyote Study researcher Numi Mitchell says about learning to coexist with coyotes.Hot Topic CommentJim Donavan comments on Edgartown reducing the speed limit on Meeting House Road: "No Mike, you cannot almost run that fast. The world record for the marathon, which is 26.2 miles, is just over 2 hours. That’s roughly 13 miles an hour. I’m with Buck, this is about your trucks bombing down Meetinghouse."Hot Topic
LetterWest Tisbury resident Cathy Weiss writes to us about the sweet sound of peepers and some not-so-sweet sounds: "But alas, it is merely the unrelenting noise of so-called ‘progress,’ the soundtrack of the incessant building projects that are crisscrossing and encircling our little Island, replacing the ‘peeping’ with the deafening ‘beeping’ of the earth-moving machinery’s backup alarm systems."

Sometimes all you need is a good foundation, some glue for support, a balance of fullness and space, variety to spice things up, a protective cover, and a way to fold when the time is right. What are we talking about? Sandwiches, of course! In particular, a delicious Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap, put together by Nicole Jackson.

Read Ray Whitaker’s account of how you can "win the race" with a slow and steady way.
