Malkin in the middle The Dukes County Commission got an update from Jim Malkin, their appointed representative to the Steamship Authority board. Malkin was on
hand to give the commissioners an update on the SSA after numerous complaints about breakdowns of boats and breakdowns in communication. Reporter Abigail Rosen has the story. Speaking of breakdowns, the Island Home is out for
repairs for a week. And, speaking of the commission, three write-in candidates got enough votes to get on the November general election ballot. Editor George Brennan has this update.

Happy trails?
The Aquinnah select board entered into an intergovernmental agreement with Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank, which will allow the town to accept a donation of land until it can present the idea to voters at a town meeting. Eventually the property will be combined with other properties under agreement by the Land Bank, which will build trails. The intergovernmental agreement will provide a resolution for a piece of property, which hasn’t contributed to the town’s tax rolls. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has the details.

Getting their kicks Who couldn’t use a good donkey adventure story? Tony and Anne gave their humans a start on Wednesday when they wandered out of the paddock and went on the lam. After a two-hour search by just about everyone in Chilmark, the donkeys were found safe in their old paddock at Blue Heron Farm. Editor George Brennan has this tale.
