On this day in 1987, it was not a good day to look at your 401k. It was the largest single-day crash of the Stock Market. Today is National Seafood Bisque Day. We read that as lobster bisque. If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

Cup
runneth over
At a meeting between Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard officials on Tuesday, leaders put their rivalry aside and talked about issues where they could potentially collaborate. Housing, short-term rentals, coastal resiliency and other issues were discussed during the hour-plus meeting. And, of course, there was a good-natured jab about the upcoming football game between the two Island high schools. Editor George Brennan has this story.

Can’t we all get along?
We have two stories about select boards and affordable housing committees clashing. In West Tisbury, the select board is attempting to mend fences after South Mountain Co. walked away from an affordable housing project. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this story. Meanwhile, over in Oak Bluffs, there is a controversy over the naming of an affordable housing project and who has the authority to name the project. Reporter Abigail Rosen has this update.

The
retiring type
Chilmark will be looking for a new police chief in 2023. At Tuesday’s select board meeting, Police Chief Jon Klaren announced that he would be retiring when his contract expires on March 20. Klaren has served the police department for 32 years and has been chief since 2017. His tenure as chief, though short, received high praise from the three select board members who all said they would love to see him continue, but understand his reasons for leaving. Reporter Eunki Seonwoo has this story.

Tomorrow: I may be one of the few people in my 60s who enjoys eating gingerbread houses. I remember my mom trying to convince me that "you don’t eat them, they’re for show," but I was never deterred. The Vineyard Haven library hosts two sessions of Haunted Gingerbread Houses, 3:30 and 5:30 pm. I can make it at 5:30. –C.B.

A
timeless world
Back by popular demand, the presentation of "Rizing" by performers Abby Bender and Jesse Jason takes viewers out of a conventional external role and places them right in the middle of the action. Set in a house filled with mystery, intrigue, and some fascinating characters, the performance piece is a far cry from your ordinary theater production, and is sure to put folks in the Halloween spirit. Become part of the story by attending one of the shows, and read Abby Remer’s story on the return of the beloved piece here.
