Got a minute?
Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.
|
|
|
Can anyone else believe we’re almost at the end of April and the weather reports are still opening with a wind chill factor? On this day in 2004, the World War II monument opened in Washington, D.C. If you haven’t been, you should really visit. Today is also National
Arbor Day. Hopefully you had a moment or two to plant a tree today. (If you could get through the cold ground.) It’s also National Hairball Awareness Day. We kid you not. That Chilmark cat from town meeting has quite a influence.

Field test Remember when we were younger and MVRHS
first proposed a synthetic turf field? Well, we might be finally coming to the end of what’s been some of the most divisive debates on the Island. After hearing closing arguments on Thursday, the planning board has scheduled a meeting for next Wednesday evening to deliberate and vote on the special permit for the field. Editor George Brennan has this story. The meeting also featured some updates on Lagoon Ridge, the Tabernacle, and an Eversource undersea cable project. George also has this story.

Dogged pursuit
The man accused of severely injuring a puppy finally had his day in court. Shane Tank was arraigned on a charge of animal cruelty in Edgartown District Court. You’ll never guess what happened when the assistant district attorney requested bail in the case. Reporter Abigail Rosen was in the courtroom and has the details.

Food trucks = fast food?
That was the debate before the zoning board of appeals in West Tisbury Thursday. The town’s building inspector denied a permit for a food truck to operate at an upcoming Climate Action Week event, but the zoning board hit the brakes on that idea. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this story.

Any chance we get to put together a Key Lime Tart we do it. This simple recipe from the way-back machine looks pretty as a picture, and not too terribly difficult to make. And they’re refreshing and pretty. Just like us.

Another
diaper Judith Hannan knows what it’s like to raise a
newborn. She brought up three of her own children, but it wasn’t until meeting her grandson that she found a place of vulnerability. Hannan introspects in her most recent The Write Prescription column how being a grandmother provides a different perspective on what it means to be a mother. Read the touching and sometimes sad story here.
