West Tisbury’s future
West Tisbury residents considered what they wanted for their future, and a top issue was a need for better communication from the town. Other issues that residents wanted to be looked at included increased affordable housing and protecting the town’s water quality.

Conch and climate
A researcher from the University of New Hampshire is working on a project studying the impacts of warming waters on the conch, also known as whelk. Data was collected from water bodies on the Island, with data due back shortly. One interesting note so far, lab results have dispelled a myth that whelk prefer female horseshoe crabs.

Walk to Beach, Aquinnah
Sponsored
Waterview beach house in Aquinnah! Just a short walking path to the calm and sandy waters of the North Shore beach. Traditional layout with a kitchen, living room, dining room, and full bath on the first floor. The living room comes with water views and a cozy fireplace, and multiple sliding doors that walk out to the wraparound porch. Upstairs, the views are incredibly beautiful! Four bedrooms share a full bath. One of the bedrooms has a fireplace, while two have sliding doors that walk out to waterview balconies. The full walkout basement/garage offers plenty of
room for a vehicle, extra storage, or a ping pong table. This bright and airy home is the perfect Aquinnah retreat.

Quote of the Day
"We’re paying so much tuition to these schools, and it’s not fair for them to be using their loads of money to aid this war, which many of us are not in support of."
— MVRHS graduate and student protester
Madeleine Benggtson on involvement in pro-Palestine student protestsHot Topic Comment"The guess here is that folks will most likely change their habits at the end of the work day — waiting until they’re safely home before drinking — and the first mile past any given liquor store will no longer be littered with empty nip bottles. Everybody wins."
—Nis Kildegaard on the banning of nip bottles on IslandHot Topic Letter"Are you really telling me that Taylor Swift is going to make poetry accessible to 'the masses' with her new album, 'Tortured Poets'? Her work may be a tad pedestrian for my sweet little old lady taste, but bless her heart for trying. People are asking who Dylan Thomas is, and Patti Smith has gotten more attention than she has in years."
—Abigail McGrath weighs in on The Tortured Poets Department

Get ready for a dish that's fit for an Island feast: Seafood Shepherd's Pie, a recipe by Paul W. Bagnall. If you're not up to using lobster or scallops, a modified version of the
mashed potatoes and creamy sauce can still be prepared. A little culinary imagination goes a long way.
Calling all cooks and bakers: we would love to share a recipe with the community. Email it to recipes@mvtimes.com, and include a brief backstory and a photo of your final creation.

This "On My Mind" shares gratitude for EMTs, RNs, PTs, family, and others. Written by Charles Silberstein with Laura Roosevelt here.
