Voters at town meeting at Tisbury’s special town meeting Tuesday night passed an article supporting the renovation of the Vineyard Haven Public Library. There was a lengthy discussion about the town’s failure to maintain buildings but voters overall overwhelmingly supported the $4.4 million borrowing request. Voters will now have to approve the spending request through a ballot question at the special town election currently set for January 7. Advocates have been…
Thomas Francis Landers passed away on Nov. 30, 2024, at the age of 77, after a lengthy illness. Tome moved to the Vineyard in the ’70s, where he lived his life on his own terms. Known for his dry wit and deadpan delivery, you could count on him to find humor in most situations. He was a master of trivia, and there weren’t too many subjects he wasn’t well-versed in. Tom was happiest with a book in hand and a growing pile nearby. He leaves his sisters,…
It’s Christmas Envy time again. I know over the years I’ve complained about how left out I felt as a kid, how on Christmas morning everyone in the neighborhood would rush outside and practically scream, “Whatja get, whatja get?” and how being Jewish made me different and stammer and sometimes make something up, like “ice skates” or “a sled” or “a piece of jewelry.” But where were my shiny new ice skates, my cool American Flyer, my silver-plated charm bracelet? Only in my imagination.…
Beautifully shot, the film “Maria” explores the great Greek American soprano Maria Callas during her final days in 1970s Paris, as she tries to come to terms with her life and fame. It is a psychological drama that artistically shifts between biography and fantasy, as Callas grapples with the loss of her magnificent voice. The film, playing at the M.V. Film Center, is directed by Pablo Larraín and written by Steven Knight. It is Larraín’s third portrait of a 20th century female icon,…
One good rainy day last week, but overall it has been lovely. Still sunny days, clear nights, fairly mild, or at least temperate. 40 to 60° is what I consider temperate. Nice days for clipping greens for decorations. Nice days for working outside. Nice days for holiday shopping. The two Christmas cactuses that I inherited from my mother are covered with magenta-colored flowers. I think Christmas cactus might be a misnomer, as they actually begin to bloom around Thanksgiving, and often continue through…

Perhaps nobody was more instrumental in establishing the community of Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School than Bob Moore. Moore, who passed away last month, was the first director of the charter school. He was remembered by Islanders for his years of service to education and positively impacting hundreds of community members. “He was our light,” Pete Steedman, the current charter school director, told the Times. “He was instrumental in creating the educational…
Anthropologists agree that before early humans spoke, we sang. The magic of singing is that it connects us with something that’s ancient and central to our humanity. For all of us, the ability to understand music and song seems to be innate. In 20 years with the Island Community Chorus, I’ve served four terms on its board, and am winding up my third year as president. I am reminded at every Monday night rehearsal, and at every concert, how profoundly nourishing the chorus is — for its singers,…
A few lucky Islanders have taken in a rare and, some might call, majestic treat: a white stag deer. There have been firsthand reports of the rare animal shared on the popular Facebook group Islanders Talk, and some Island hunters have spotted it. Residents in the Tiah’s Cove neighborhood in West Tisbury have spotted the white stag recently, including Phyllis Segal, who spotted it outside her home in mid-November. Segal described seeing the deer as if she saw an apparition. She said that she spotted…
Last week was a lot. Geordie Gude died on Wednesday, and his family and friends gathered at the P.A. Club for a musical celebration. We are losing so many who were part of the fabric of the Island. The rending is hard, but I see many who remind me the warp and woof of our community are strong. It is not only in the doing but in the being, and this time of year we leave with more than just goods when we visit Menemsha: Colin and Ruel’s Gallery, Stanley and Lanette…
Vineyarders, like all Americans, are living in an era of vast environmental and climate change. For most of November, the entire commonwealth suffered under “red flag” alerts. Since Sept. 1, so little rain has fallen that not only is there a statewide drought, but severe fire danger. By mid-November, some 317 brushfires had broken out in Massachusetts. Meteorologists estimate that the state is currently six to nine inches below the rainfall average. The prospects of rapidly increasing climate…

Holidays are made of memories. Good. Bad. Gathering together. Missing passed-away or distant members. Delicious meals, others burned or undercooked, or eaten by the dog. Memories. Stories. We all have our histories. Thanksgiving got an early start at Howes House last Monday. They call it Friendsgiving. It is a delicious spread of holiday favorites prepared by the three up-Island police chiefs and several officers. We had ham instead of turkey, with lots of vegetables,…

Tisbury Water Works, in collaboration with the state, is trying to get a sense of how many homes may have lead pipes. Earlier this month, in compliance with new Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection regulations, Tisbury Water Works issued a drinking water notice to roughly 1,800 homes in an effort to take inventory of water service systems for potential state-wide replacements in the future. For those receiving the notice, it’s an indication from MassDEP that there is either lead…
There is an offer on the table that would end what for decades has been the bane of existence for many Martha’s Vineyard summers: rental mopeds. The owner of Oak Bluffs’ final three operational moped licenses is offering to sell all three to the town, or to any nonprofit or interested party. “How bad do you want to get rid of them?” John Leone asked rhetorically in a recent interview with The Times. For Leone — the owner of licenses at Island Hoppers, Ride On Moped and King’s Rentals…
The graves of American Indians have been desecrated from the time of the arrival of the Pilgrims to the present day. During the late 1800s and into the 20th century, museums and other institutions acquired and were gifted with Native American human remains and burial, ceremonial, and personal items for their collections. It happened for educational purposes, and in the belief that they were preserving cultures that were vanishing or extinct. But it was at the expense of Native American dignity, respect,…

The weather remains unseasonably warm. We are in a red-alert drought, despite a damp mist during one night last week. Rain is predicted for the end of this week, so maybe you will be watching raindrops outside your windows as you read this column. A cup of tea would be nice, too. I want to write about my friend Ginny Jones, who died last week. I met Ginny when I moved to West Tisbury, although her name was familiar from letters to the editor that often appeared in the…
I’m cleaning and reorganizing the kitchen from one that was set up to easily welcome, prep, and store baskets of fresh produce and fish to one where you can make soups, cut out sugar cookies, and make breads, and savory crackers. Putting away the iced tea pitcher and pulling out the teapot. Clearing the dining table. Noticing the berry-filled branches and greenery that will make wonderful garlands and wreaths. Gathering sprinkles, sparkles, and food coloring. I like to replace them once a year.…
