Smaller town meeting quorum?
That’s something West Tisbury officials may ask voters to consider. A warrant article that could appear at the next annual town meeting is whether to change the five percent of registered voters threshold to a set number of 75 registered voters for a quorum. Lagging voter participation and risks of being unable to open town meetings were raised. Read more here.

Quote of the Day
"We see a pathway where Beach Road Weekend can be successful for audiences and as a vehicle for good, but not with the extra financial challenges presented by the Vineyard’s unique location."
— Beach Road Weekend co-producer Joe Kosin said on behalf of the festival’s move to Cape CodHot Topic Comment"Overpopulation is already pushing the Vineyard to the brink. We don’t need a housing bank bill. Just say no. Keep Our Island Green."
— Dan Larkosh wrote, in response to the beginning of the Red Arrow Community Housing project development Hot Topic Letter"What is happening in Gaza is nothing less than genocide. How dare our government hide behind the suggestion that because Hamas might use somebody as a human shield that Israel has a right to destroy
every man, woman, and child, and building and farm field."
— Linda Cohen, on the U.S. decision on, what she calls, the "U.N. genocide case"

Today: My kids used to tell me to "chill out" all the time and it had the exact opposite effect…don’t you tell me to chill out! These days I’m more likely to take their advice. Bodhi Path offers In Person and Online Meditation, so go ahead and chill out. 6 pm. –Connie Berry
I love that the Edgartown library hosts International Film Night (with subtitles). Tonight they’re screening "Brighton 4th," a 2021 Georgian film nominated for Best International Feature Film. It’s a family drama and who can’t relate to that? Free. 6 pm. –C.B.

Pins and needlesDo you struggle with depression, back pain, migraines, or other health issues? According to Island acupuncturists, needles can help. Acupuncture stems from traditional Chinese medicine, and it involves the insertion of thin needles through the skin. Vineyard Haven’s Drift Acupuncture owner Jodie Treolar says this treatment is believed to "harmonize the body, mind, and spirit." Read more about the practice, its benefits, and where to get treated here.
