Zoom, get a
roomTisbury select board’s first meeting since the town
election was interrupted and ultimately postponed by a Zoom bomber who flashed images of porn and shouted an obscenity at board members. The board managed to welcome newcomer John Cahill, make some other appointments, and were in the process of being updated on an undersea cable project. Reporter Rich Saltzberg has the story and is still recovering from what he saw.

Early and often
The Steamship Authority held a public hearing on Wednesday afternoon and got an earful. After the SSA posted its 2023 schedule, Woods Hole residents — as they have in the past — used the enabling act to request a public hearing. And once again they complained about the early morning ferries to carry freight to the Island. Reporter Abigail Rosen has the update.

Facebook post scrutinizedPolice say a Vineyard Haven man who was arrested and charged with threat to commit a crime specifically targeted police in a Facebook post. The post includes a pig in the crosshairs with a message to "warm up the bagpipes." The details were made public in a police report that was filed with the application for a criminal complaint against Brian Langhammer. Here’s that story.

A couple of people who have their own Vineyard experiences to recall have created a program called Fern’s Fund. It will allow six recent high school graduates from New York City to come to the Island in July to learn more about the Vineyard and themselves. The program is being offered by Connectedness founder Ian Thomas Minor who wants young women to have the type of experience he had on the Island. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this story.
