Got a minute?
Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.

|
On this day in 1961, residents of Washington, D.C., earned the right to vote in presidential elections when the Twenty-third Amendment passed in Congress. We’ve got ourselves a presidential election this year as well, so remember to register if you want to vote in
November. Today is also National Vietnam War Veterans Day, which commemorates the service members who fought in the war. Several Vietnam War veterans on the Vineyard have told the Times about their experiences surrounding the conflict. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

A Holy time of year Passover, Ramadan, and Easter converge at this time of year. And that got our managing editor Connie Berry contemplating the Holy Land in her recent faith column, especially with the violence and war falling on Gaza. She sat down with our publisher, Charles Sennott, who lived in and wrote about the region for 30 years as a journalist. Read that conversation here. The West Tisbury library will be screening "'Til Kingdom Come" on Monday at 6 pm with a discussion led by Sennott afterward.

New wind bids
The state received a package of new bids for wind developments that will be near Vineyard waters. They include Vineyard Wind 2 and New England Wind, both would be significantly larger than the Vineyard Wind currently under construction off the
coast. The new bids won’t be completed for several years, but they would represent a significant increase in power from offshore wind. Read that story here.

Quote of the Day
"It’s a little nostalgic for the Donnelly family because they grew up there. And there’s also a lot of history just from the different lifeguards who have served this town over the years [...] Now everything is about to change."
— Edgartown Parks Commissioner Andrew Kelly on developments being made to South Beach, including the demolition of the lifeguard shack Hot Topic Comment "Just another for profit company, raking in millions of taxpayer dollars, just like the oil companies. Exactly how many millions of tax dollars has wind consumed? How many millions of dollars in taxes will wind farm staff pay? How many millions of dollars in taxes will service boat builders and other vendors pay in taxes?"
— Albert Hess on the approval of offshore wind project "Sunrise Wind" Hot Topic Letter "The captain then headed back into the Vineyard Haven harbor, did another 180 maneuver and then slid the boat into the slip so that I was not even aware we were docked until I heard the engines shut down. It was a great demonstration of excellent seamanship in my opinion. Well done."
— Bob Rosenbaum on the smooth technical maneuvering of the ferry on his boat ride home
