On this day in 1982, cyanide-laced Tylenol killed 7 people. I wonder how many of the young ‘uns know that’s why we have super sealed medications now? It’s National Coffee Day, which is just about everyday in our newsroom with Rich Saltzberg leading the charge to
caffeine mountain. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Gimme shelter Should West Tisbury School be considered as an emergency shelter? That was the question under consideration by the West Tisbury select
board on Wednesday as a potential retrofit of the school being discussed. While there is some debate about whether the Island should just have one emergency shelter, the select board liked the idea of exploring West Tisbury School as an option. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this story. The board also had a lengthy discussion about the future of the 401 State Road affordable housing project and the controversy surrounding South Mountain’s exit from the project. A very busy Eunki also has that story.

Stepping down
Larry Gomez, a Tisbury select board member who has served most of two terms on the board, has resigned, citing a health issue. Gomez was the board’s chair and was in the third year of his second term. (The two terms were not consecutive.) He had missed several meetings over the summer without explanation and, more recently, attended meetings but had turned over the chairman’s gavel to Roy Cutrer. Reporter Rich Saltzberg has this update.

Living the dream We kind of take this place for granted sometimes — the beautiful vistas, the wonderful shops and restaurants, and the ferry ride to get here. Well, meet Beverly Anderson. Sadly, Beverly doesn’t have much more time to live and has been granted her dream visit to Martha’s Vineyard. The Dream Foundation,
working with the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce, is fulfilling her wish. Reporter Abigail Rosen has this touching story.

Water views with a Pool, Blacksmith Valley, Chilmark SponsoredGlorious views spanning over Nashaquitsa and Menemsha Pond to the Vineyard Sound and Elizabeth Islands. This sweet Vineyard home is situated up high —overlooking open meadows, old stone walls with multiple views to the Atlantic Ocean. Located in beloved Blacksmith Valley and enjoyed by the same family for over sixty years, this is a rare opportunity.
With 3.6 acres of open, rolling land, classic Chilmark stonewalls and beach plum bushes, this charming 5-bedroom home with an existing pool sits on a ridge and offers views from Noman's Land to the Edgartown shoreline. The property also includes a garage for vehicle and boat storage at the edge of the property. Squibnocket Beach is around the corner, as well as an opportunity to join Zack's Cliffs for Blacksmith Valley residents.

Today: Check out a Senegalese Music and Dance Performance, courtesy of PathwaysARTS and the M.V. Charter School. At Tisbury Water Works, park on the road from the Tashmoo Overlook towards the Tashmoo Springs. 5 pm. And it’s free. –Connie Berry
Circuit Arts presents "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" at the Grange Hall. I remember I used to turn the television down very low so that I wouldn’t wake my parents when "Monty Python’s Flying Circus" was on PBS. They thought all British shows were risque. 7 pm. –C.B.

Tomorrow: The Edgartown library hosts Afterschool Movie and Popcorn. I wonder if this would work as an after-work movie and popcorn? I’m up for that. 3 pm. –C.B.

Spurring engagement
Misty Meadows Equine Learning Center is all about using horses to transform people's lives for the better. Of course, they focus on riding skills, unmounted partnership exercises, and horse care. But the center is also providing extremely practical life skills, and is encouraging young people in their educational programming to take part in aspects of internal governance, fundraising initiatives, and much more. Read Abby Remer’s story on Misty Meadows and their goal of teaching Island youth how to take ownership and eventually become the next generation of nonprofit leaders.
