Chilmark wants in on Howes House planning
Improvements to Howes House, home of the Up-Island Council on Aging in West Tisbury, was first presented as a collaborative effort among West Tisbury, Chilmark, and Aquinnah. But with West Tisbury now saying that the project will be at least $2 million over what was first discussed, Chilmark officials are wondering why they haven’t been included in the planning, design, and budget process. Abigail Rosen has this update.

Another town supports nip banChilmark may be a "dry" town but they’re not without a "nip" litter problem. Oak Bluffs and Edgartown — the two towns where the mini liquor bottles can be purchased on-Island — recently announced a proposed ban on the sale of nips, which will be taken up by voters at town meetings. The Chilmark select board voiced its support for the two down-Island towns in their fight to rid the Island of nips. Here’s that update.

Quote of the Day
"We need to bring it to the voters and I'm not so sure I'm comfortable doing that right now. I feel really rushed into this . . . I’m not so sure it’s a great idea for us."

Wild Side
The hermit thrush isn't necessarily a common Vineyard bird, but
they are out and about. These little birds prefer to perch in thick brush, but Wild Side columnist Matt Pelikan recently discovered one hopping about in a big clearing as it searched for bugs to eat. He then observed the thrush fly up onto an oak sapling and divebomb prey from above — a behavior Pelikan speculates the bird learned from imitating the Eastern bluebird. Read the most recent Wild Side column about Pelikan’s most recent birding surprise here.
