What a difference a year makes. On this day in 2021, the Island was being pummeled by a storm that packed heavy winds. Today, we’re
looking forward to playing a late season round of golf. Today is National Beer Day (we seem to have a few of these, maybe it bears repeating?), National Civics Day, and National Black Cat Day. Grab a brewski, talk some government, and don’t let one of those black cats cross your path. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Pushback by the bushelThe Tisbury select board is the latest to impose restriction on scallop harvest based on recommendations of shellfish constable Danielle Ewart. At a meeting on Wednesday, Ewart’s proposal got some pushback from shellfishermen, similar to what occurred at the Oak Bluffs select board earlier this month. Meanwhile, there has
been shellfish related vandalism in O.B. that is under investigation. Reporter Rich Saltzberg has this story with some assistance from Abigail Rosen and George Brennan.

The hot seatWest Tisbury firefighters solved a mystery on Wednesday night that likely prevented a much bigger house fire. Called to Arrowhead Farm for a report of smoke, firefighters initially thought it might have to do with the chimney because the fireplace was lit. But after snuffing that fire out completely, the smell of smoke persisted and it didn’t smell like wood smoke. Upon deeper investigation, firefighters found a chair that was smoldering due to an electrical issue. Reporter Rich Saltzberg has this story.

Quote of the Day
"As we sort of do a reset and get ourselves on a really productive, collegial, cooperative path forward, the person who I felt has always tried to maintain order, which is something I think is vital for the position of chair, has been Jim Klingensmith."–West Tisbury affordable housing committee member Jefrey Dubard on nominating Klingensmith as the new chairHot Topic CommentThe story on a parking lot being installed next to the Stop & Shop in Vineyard Haven has suddenly morphed into a discussion of which market has the best prices. Here’s what Kris Daly thinks: "IMO Reliable Market in OB is the most affordable food market on the island."Hot Topic LetterNancy Nordin wrote about the termination of Joe Capobianco. "With the community response, I know he will land on another way to help the Island, and I’m hoping that his next partnership will be more inclusive of the Island as a
whole. I hope all of us who have been touched by his generous heart reach out to him and his family to say thank you and offer a hand in return."
