Pressure mounts
Attorney General Merrick Garland is getting a lot of mail. On Friday, 46 members of Congress called on the U.S. Department of Justice to open an investigation into the transport of 50 migrants and refugees to Martha’s Vineyard. Earlier this week, the Island’s two representatives sent a similar request. Meanwhile, a former federal prosecutor has told The Times she sees kidnapping as the most likely charge. Editor George Brennan and Abigail Rosen have this story.

Reflecting
One week after they were busy caring for the 50 migrants and refugees, some of the volunteers gathered at a service at St. Andrew’s Church in Edgartown. The event was a chance for those who supported the relief efforts to join together and decompress about what they went through in a relaxed setting. Reporters Abigail Rosen and Rich Saltzberg were there and have this
update.

Talking traffic
At the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, they had one of the quickest meetings in recent memory after several items were postponed. The commissioners did hold the continued public hearing for Meshacket Commons and discussed parking and traffic concerns. Executive director Adam Turner also gave an update on some staffing changes that are in the works. Editor George Brennan has this story.

What’s your favorite allium? Ours is garlic, and this Harvest of the Month article explains exactly how to prepare Roasted Garlic. We recommend getting a giant loaf of French bread to spread the warm garlic on. And maybe grab a box of mints when you’re out getting the bread.

Island light
There’s something unique about the quality of the sunlight on Martha’s Vineyard during a Menemsha sunset, or after a rainstorm, when the clouds disperse and shimmering rays shine through to gild everything they touch. Paul Doherty, an Island photographer with a passion for light and reflections, brings a new photo exhibition to the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse centered around these themes. Whether it’s the reflection of a mast on a sailboat, or the twisted light cast from hand-blown glass, Doherty knows just how to capture the image and enthrall the imagination. Read Abby Remer’s story on the artist's work here.
