Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.

On this day in 1948, Harry Truman defeated Thomas Dewey for the presidency. It’s a day the Chicago Tribune, which had an unfortunate headline, would like to forget. Today is National Stress Awareness Day. Seems we’re aware of stress almost every day. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Last laugh
Comedian Lenny Clarke was on a waiting list for 25 years for a boat slip only to be told that only one person per household could have a slip. It turns out his wife, charter Capt. Jen Clarke, has a slip on the Charter Dock, which would preclude her husband from having one. On Tuesday, the Chilmark select board overruled an advisory board and Lenny Clarke got the last laugh. Reporter Rich
Saltzberg has the story.

Cliff notes
The Aquinnah select board is attempting to figure out what to do with Aquinnah Cliff leases. At a meeting on Tuesday, board members discussed ways to work out the lease agreements with the business owners and members of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah). Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this update.

Formula one
If you had bet us a year ago that Oak Bluffs would be the first town to endorse the new funding formula for Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School capital projects, we would have taken the odds against that. But that’s exactly what happened when a special town meeting convened Tuesday to consider six articles, including that new funding formula. Reporter Abigail Rosen has this story.

Quote of the Day
"We’ve had a fairly strong interest in this project, given that it’s for two vessels."
–Mark Amundsen, director of marine operations for the Steamship Authority, on two vessels that are being retrofitted to become freight ferries
Hot Topic CommentSteve Auerbach commented on one of the issues going before Oak Bluffs special town meeting. "Will someone tell me why it’s necessary to spend 300K to assess the condition of town-owned properties and buildings, and decide how to plan and prioritize their repairs and maintenance? Shouldn’t these decisions be largely self-evident from a building’s age, or obvious leaks, or a beach wall’s premature rusting, for examples?"Hot Topic LetterJames Lengyel, executive director of the Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank, wrote to point out some of the work the conservation agency does for affordable housing on the Island. "Collaborations have taken other forms as well. Agriculture is an important part of Vineyard life and in four places — Tea Lane Farm, Three Ponds, Arrowhead Farm, and the old Child Farm — the Land Bank has worked to create farms, either immediately or for the future, that include farmsteads tenanted by farmers at reasonable rates. Some of these efforts involved groups ranging from the Preservation Trust to the Island Autism Group."

We don’t often think of carrots when we do our cooking. They’re sort of in the veggie drawer just hanging out. Well, the folks at Mo’s Lunch and IGI have turned carrots into something special with this Carrot Romesco recipe. Roast them, along with other tasty bits, then puree it all into a savory dip.

Family roots
Judith Fielder Leggett has gardened or had a garden anywhere she has ever lived. Her many years of experience working with plants have provided her with an extensive and unique knowledge of many species, especially her favorites. Fielder Leggett can be found at the West Tisbury Farmers Market selling a variety of produce grown by Fielder Family Farms (she has help from her siblings). Next time you go to the market, look for the elegant little farmstand with handmade bent-branch baskets, and read Valerie Sonnenthal’s Gardens of Love story here.
