On this day in 1997, Princess Diana died in a car crash. Hard to imagine it’s been that long. Today is National Eat Outside Day. There are lots of great locations on the Island to do just that. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Beach Road review
While this year’s Beach Road Weekend music festival was largely praised by those in attendance for the music, there were some hiccups in this year’s event. A severe thunderstorm that happened just as the first night was letting out caused some flooding and ultimately has led to some significant field damage that needs to be repaired. Promoter Adam Epstein has vowed to make those repairs and also addressed some other concerns about this year’s festival in a conversation with Editor George Brennan. Here’s that story.

Sheriff showdown
For the first time since the pandemic began, two candidates squared off face-to-face in a candidate forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Incumbent Sheriff Robert Ogden and challenger Erik Blake answered questions from the packed audience and debated each other during the forum. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this story. We also have stories on the race for state Senate on the Republican side and the race for district attorney.

Jury’s out
A jury in Fall River Superior Court heard closing arguments Wednesday in the trial of Joseph Noe, who is accused in the shooting death of Oak Bluffs firefighter Eric Voshell. The case centers around two rival motorcycle gangs and an incident that happened outside a Fall River bar. Reporter Rich Saltzberg was in Fall River today to hear closing arguments and will report when there’s a verdict in the case.

BONUS PHOTO:
The Island woke up to some rain and, ultimately, a beautiful display of rainbows. Reporter Rich Saltzberg posted a photo of a rainbow over the Vineyard Haven terminal and John Rogers snapped this double rainbow at Bend in the Road in Edgartown.

Quote of the Day
"Things like communication and transparency were not similar to what we had [in the past]. Information was not flowing very easily and trying to get information about what was going on in terms of the beach, the birds, the access, was very difficult."
–Peter Sliwkowski, owner of Larry’s Tackle Shop, on the new MV Beachgoers Access Group
Hot Topic CommentJocelyn Croft commented on the Old souvenir shop being approved for demolition. "Well, it needed either a loving restoration or a tear down. I will miss it, it’s unique style and so many memories of myself, and eventual kids in the store shopping for candy and cheap do-dads. I only hope that whatever replaces it will blend perfectly with the island spirit." Hot Topic LetterGretchen Snyder called on Beach Road Weekend to do more to accommodate
neighbors of the festival. "I live on Lagoon Pond Rd. abutting the Veterans Memorial Park in Vineyard Haven. What a busy concert you put on this weekend. There was a steady stream of happy and kind people (except for the beer can, broken glass and cigarette butt left on my lawn) going up and down the street. I am glad so many people enjoyed your concert. I wish I had."

Would you look at that photo and think it was a Spinach and Black Bean Brownie? We wouldn’t either. If you’re looking for alternatives to sugar and dairy, this recipe is perfect. And all you have to do is put all the ingredients in a food processor or blender, bake, and let the brownies sit in the fridge overnight.

If you'd like to share your own recipe, along with a photo of the dish and a brief backstory, email us at recipes@mvtimes.com.

The Art Circle Group
Nancy Shaw Cramer, Sandy Bernat, Ruth Kirchmeier, Leslie Baker, Jennifer McCurdy, Julia Mitchell, Marie-Louise Rouff, and Heather Sommers — all eight women are longtime friends and talented artists. Through their combined creativity, they’ve created a new exhibit called "The Art Circle Group," which will be available for viewing at the Galaxy Gallery from Sept. 1 to 13. Whether it’s painting, prints, ceramics, paper, or tapestry, there is something for every taste. And the collective creativity of these artists makes a stunning show that’s not to be missed. Read writer
Abby Remer’s piece on the exhibit here.
