If you forgot to change your clocks yesterday, we hope this isn’t the first you’re hearing it. And while the changes are throwing off our mojo, the recent sunshine has certainly been appreciated. Spring is springing, somewhat. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Historic move?
Stop & Shop is looking to renovate its Vineyard Haven location, and it wants an abutting historic house gone. Specifically, they’re looking to have it relocated to a spot on Lagoon Pond Road. However, some people want more information before the Martha’s Vineyard Commission makes a final determination. Plus, this isn’t the first time the grocery store
chain has been before the commission about this building. Read more here.

A Chesapeake parallel
The Martha’s Vineyard Film Center hosted a screening of a documentary looking at the Chesapeake Bay and a restoration project there aimed at bringing back shellfish. The film was produced by an Islander, and a panel discussion highlighted some of the parallels between the Vineyard. Read that story here.

Quote of the Day
"For hundreds of years, the pattern of the sweeping beam was three whites and a red. Now it’s just white, red, white, red. If it’s possible, I think it’d be great if we could return to the old, traditional — if you can call it that — pattern of the light."
— Aquinnah town administrator Jeffrey Madison on changes being made to the Aquinnah lighthouse beaconHot Topic Comment"For all the folks denying such a dramatic unwelcome change, kindly avail yourself of an invitation to spend time to observe and listen to the negative effects on us tax paying homeowners whose lives will have been disrupted, and our home values decreased by these three buildings and sudden overwhelming population increase."
— Doreen Kinsman on the expansion of the Montessori school Hot Topic Letter"‘O Tempo’ is an important measure that significantly increases recognition of the contributions and vitality of our Brazilian brothers and sisters while giving them an added voice to expand the Island’s knowledge of Brazil’s rich history, arts and culture."
— Trustee Bob Reardon on behalf of the M.V. Diversity Coalition and their applause for the addition of translation services for the MV Times

Today: "The Maltese Falcon" screens tonight at the M.V. Playhouse, where there really isn’t a bad seat. That Sam Spade is a real character. $5 cold, hard cash. 6 pm.
–Connie Berry
Jeanine Fitzgerald leads Parent-to-Parent at M.V. Community Services. It’s for parents of kids ages 0 to 13 with special needs, with dinner and child watch available. This falls under the "you’re not alone" category, and I bet you’d find it helpful. 6 pm. –C.B.

Here's a dessert that can be made from typical kitchen staples: Bread Pudding, adapted from a recipe at the famous Bon Ton Café in New Orleans. If you toss in some dried fruit and spices, you can call it a Wet Nelly, or a moist Lord Nelson Cake.
If you have a favorite variation of this recipe, send it to us at recipes@mvtimes.com, and we'll share it with the community.
