The PETA wars
In our latest reporting on the Steamship Authority and PETA, the Steamship board has decided it will no longer be taking new advertisements. As you recall, a particular PETA ad roiled some Islanders. Now, $100,000 out of annual ad revenue, we wonder who are the winners: the SSA or the lobsters. Read our latest here.

Safe structured living on-Island
Vineyard House provides a structured living environment for people working through recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. On the Island, there is a need for a safe living space for Islanders in early stages of recovery who are returning from off-Island treatment centers. In 2014, Vineyard House built a new campus designed for group living, including private and semi-private bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, laundry facilities, and common areas. Vineyard House runs on the support of committed
employees, volunteers, and partnerships with Island organizations, including Island Counseling Center and Island Wide Youth Collaborative. They recently held their annual Water Tasting by the Sea fundraiser on the Edgartown Harbor. Read more about Vineyard House and their fundraising event here.
