Got a minute?
Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.
|
|

Today is International Museum Day, which has been recognized since 1977 as a way to promote the benefits these wonderful
institutions provide. We can’t mention Museum Day without giving props to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, where they currently have a scrimshaw exhibit. There’s also the Aquinnah Cultural Center on the Island, which provides a history of the Aquinnah Wampanoag tribe. Plus there’s the Carnegie Heritage Center and the Mariposa Museum & World Culture Center.

Home Business Opportunity, Vineyard Haven SponsoredExcellent occasion to increase your business exposure or start a new one in a desirable, active, commercial location. This property offers a lot of flexibility for a buyer to expand the existing building or reorganize it to suit a different business. A new owner could build their own residence on-site as well as run a business. A super
opportunity for employee housing as well. The property is insulated and ready to use year-round with a new HVAC system in 2023. Plenty of parking for residential and business use. Septic would allow for 5 bedrooms. A new owner could install an enhanced system for greater bedroom count. Don’t miss this rare offering for a commercial location in Tisbury.

Quote of the Day
"This came up because I was completely confused by everything that has happened over the last month, with towns rejecting the budget because of the legal expenses, and my erroneous understanding was the school committee was listening to the people and going to move to grass. But as I’m reading further and further into it, they’re not doing that at all, and I don’t think they’re listening."
— Chilmark resident Sheila Muldaur on her citizens petition that she is
proposing for a special town meeting in Chilmark.Hot Topic CommentJames Klingensmith comments on our coverage of a petition article calling for only grass fields at the Vineyard regional high school: "It does not make sense that the High School talks about caring for the youth of
Martha’s Vineyard and wants to put in turf that could potentially put the entire island at risk by contaminating our water supply.
Hot Topic LetterSusanna Sturgis, chair
of the West Tisbury Task Force Against Discrimination, writes to us about allegations that Lambert’s Cove Beach is not open to all: "If you’d bothered to check the Diversity Statement that created the Task Force, you would have learned that the Task Force focuses on diversity involving "race, color, religious creed, national origin, ancestry, gender, age, economic status, disability, gender identity and sexual orientation."
