Quote of the Day
"What type of a community do you want to be? As any community needs, we need good teachers, a good police force, a good fire force, adequate and well-trained doctors and nurses and first responders. Through no fault of their own, these essential people are being priced out of this Island."–CJ Moriarty
at Edgartown town meeting speaking in support of the housing bankHot Topic CommentJulian Wise commented on the purchase of West Tisbury property by Thomas Bena for a nonprofit called Stillpoint. "This space has the potential be a tremendous asset to the island community, congratulations Thomas, Jake and Ben for making this happen. Looking forward to amazing events for years to come."Hot Topic LetterMarcy Klapper wrote about a dental dilemma that turned out to be a positive experience. "Four days before scheduled surgery, we went scrambling for someone who could address our concern. Got the runaround from a few dentists who said, "Not me. You need a ___ (fill in the blank with some "specialist"). It was looking like the surgery that had been scheduled so far in advance would have to be postponed."

Grey, yeah!
Oh, the drama. People of a certain age grew up with Grey’s Anatomy and Nicole Jackson is one of them. In this week’s binge-worthy review, Nicole tells us why she can’t get enough of the hospital drama. "I do recommend putting this show on when you’re looking for a comforting cast to keep you company around the house, and would rather indulge in a little drama that isn’t your own." Read more here and see why she rates this show so high.
