Answers are slowly surfacing on what happened to Vineyard Wind's turbine blade, but details that have emerged are still very minimal — stay tuned as we get wind of more information. While the biggest impact so far may be to Nantucket,
we think it’s an important development for Vineyarders. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

GE Vernova representatives said it may have to do with a manufacturing issue at the Canadian factory the turbine blade was built in. You can get the details here. Meanwhile, an initial environmental report was released by Arcadis, the consultant hired by GE Vernova. Read more here.

Schools seeking assistant superintendent
Martha’s Vineyard Public Schools is moving forward with a plan to attract a new assistant superintendent — for a one-year position that pays $75,000. Some all-Island school committee members questioned whether more pay could be offered, but Superintendent Richie Smith was confident that the offer will attract qualified candidates, also stating that more pay could be offered for a longer-term position next year.

A protest outside a Jewish festival
A group of about 10 protesters, part of a pro-Palestine group called Ceasefire MV, stood outside Monday’s Jewish Cultural Festival. Many protesters were Jewish themselves, and said they felt part of their Jewish identity to be tied to the liberation of Palestine. Attendants
of the festival, however, felt minimal disruption from the protesters. Dancing, music and food were shared at the festival well into Monday evening. Jewish American musician Matisyahu headlined the event, although his controversial reputation, as it relates to his support of the Israel Defense Forces, played a part in the protesters appearance.

Quote of the Day
"I wanted to help students understand some of the things that make
this Island so special, like having lighthouses and using the ferry."
—Julie Brand, Tisbury school art teacher, on Steamship art show Hot Topic Comment "A lovely story of care and ingenuity!"
—Nancy Rose Steinbock on Adam Darack saving three baby robinsHot Topic Letter "There are many advantages to 41 North’s proposal for developing a marine freight highway between New Bedford and the Vineyard. Diversification of the Island’s freight route should be a safety priority for Vineyard leaders."
—Nathaniel Trumbull on New Bedford freight proposal

Library Lifeline
The Oak Bluffs library is no slouch. But a little-known program is a big hit that could get a whole lot bigger. Each week, people in Oak Bluffs request materials: their favorite book, audiobook, DVD, etc., as part of the O.B. library outreach program. The program is a free, ongoing service available to all Oak Bluffs residents who are temporarily or permanently unable to get in a car and get to the library. Honestly, the people who do participate don’t know what they’d do without it.
