After a record-breaking number of guests this past winter, Harbor Homes wants to add five new beds to its seasonal homeless shelter in Oak Bluffs. However, additional beds will need approval from the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School committee, which leases the shelter's land. Before signing off on the request, committee members want to consult with Oak Bluffs officials who have voiced concerns about the program in the past. Read more here.

Quote of the Day
"We expected it to be just the strangest thing ever, and that Olivia would be a certified nut. But actually she was very nice. Aside from traveling with her dad’s skeleton, she couldn’t have been more normal."
— Mike Creato of Classic Aviators on Olivia Gray Konrath flying with her dad’s skeletonHot Topic Comment"We should have done this years ago. Our kids could graduate from HS bilingual, a big leg up for the college bound and a total asset for those who will run or work in our island businesses. The existing K-8 language programs are always hard to staff, intermittent and insufficient. Portuguese is a language the kids can practice every single day. Brilliant idea, let’s get it done island wide."
— Geraldine Brooks on Tisbury School exploring a Brazilian-Portuguese classHot Topic Letter"Readers
of newspapers in small communities have expectations. They expect to recognize themselves in the reporting that keeps track of their lives. They expect the news writers to live among them, to be broadly familiar with town goings-on, and with the difficulties and successes common among their families and town leaders. They want news coverage that understands and keeps a watchful eye on the ways they live their lives."
— In an essay from our former publisher and editor, Doug Cabral
