Got a minute?
Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.
|
|
|
Today is National Waffle Day and National Peach Pie Day. We could go either way on which one is the better option. Also, the mere mention of waffles has us longing for the day Art Cliff Diner returns. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Big hearts at Big Bridge
On Tuesday evening, family, friends and community members came together to pay tribute to the two brothers — Tavaris and Tavaughn Bulgin — who died after jumping from Big Bridge. Those in attendance heard from a family friend, as well as Rev. Stephen Harding. There were also members of the Island’s public safety community, who were so involved in the search for the two brothers, on hand. Reporter Rich Saltzberg has this story and a video of those in attendance singing a gospel hymn.

Case on hold
The Martha’s Vineyard Camp Meeting Association, under some significant pressure from the leaseholders, has dropped its lawsuits against the Oak Bluffs planning board and zoning board. In an email to The Times on
Wednesday, board president Andrew Patch announced the reversal citing the association’s long-standing relationship with the town. At issue were the conditions put on proposed renovations of the Tabernacle. Reporter Abigail Rosen has this update.

Oh
my, WiFi
Are folks showing up at the Oak Bluffs library in the middle of night with the sole purpose of using the free WiFi? The select board thinks so and that it may be disrupting a residential neighborhood. But library officials say they don’t want to see restrictions put on the free access allowed to the public. The debate will continue at a future meeting. Meanwhile, the board was also charged up about the use of charging stations for electric vehicles. Reporter Abigail Rosen has the details.

Have
a ball on Chappy
There’s a hidden gem nestled on North Neck Road on Chappaquiddick — a small, sequestered golf course known for its extensive history, beautiful greens, and relaxed rules — the Royal and Ancient Chappaquiddick Links. All it takes is one visit to this unique golf course to see why it has such a strong following. Head on over to Chappy, kick off your shoes (literally, shoes are optional on the course), and enjoy as many rounds of golf as you want. Read assistant features editor Lucas Thors’ story on the Chappy Links here.
