Lambert's Cove, West Tisbury Sponsored Tranquility and birdsong await in Hidden Village, a peaceful West Tisbury neighborhood located off Upper Lambert's Cove Road, just a short distance to the beloved Lambert's Cove
Beach and easily accessible to the West Tisbury business district. Set on a serene 2.6-acre lot that's high on a hill, this property offers privacy and peacefulness, and it features a 5-bedroom home surrounded by mature trees and lush plantings. The house, built in 1980, is three levels, and it looks out over a pool and patio on one side and a large fenced yard, basketball court, and woods on the other side. There is close to 2000 sq. ft. of living space that has been lived in year-round. The house will require a new septic system, and the sellers have a six-bedroom design from Vineyard Land Surveying ready for the next owners. This is a unique opportunity to own a magical property brimming with potential in West Tisbury. The property is being sold "as is".

Quote of the Day
"He didn’t say ‘approve the application.’ [The judge] said ‘work within these parameters,’ and we will work within these parameters."
— Oak Bluffs planning board chairman Ewell Hopkins on a land court judge’s ruling on the MVRHS proposed turf fieldHot Topic Comment"Wish the school cared more about education than sports. Regardless of the field type the odds of any island kid going pro or even getting a good scholarship because they played on
plastic is negligible."
— John Axel comments on a land court decision
that ruled in favor of the schools’ turf fieldHot Topic Letter"There are few other alternatives to SSA for the transport of people to the Island and there is no viable alternative for
shipping supplies. For that reason, we wanted to express our point of view. If a viable alternative is presented we would welcome it, however none has been offered despite several years of studying the issue."
— Martha’s Vineyard Hospital president Denise Schepici on the hospital’s decision to support an early morning freight boat

If you are looking for a faith-based recovery group, check out the Overcomers Outreach at the Red House. They offer support while overcoming addiction, compulsive behaviors, or codependency. 7:15 pm. –C.B.

Sugar and spice and all things nice come together in the recipe for Pear and Apple Crisp, shared by Tina Miller in an Edible Vineyard article about Joe Chapman's orchard. You can top off this seasonal dessert with ice cream or whipped cream...or go nuts and have both...and some chocolate chips...or maybe butterscotch chips...or peanut butter...or mini marshmallows...or caramel... wait, were we talking about fruit?
If you'd like to share a recipe with the community, send it to us at recipes@mvtimes.com, and include a photo of the dish and a brief backstory if you have one.
