From Their Island to Ours

Dancing Through the Ages

Island dancers aged 3 to 75 will be waiting in the wings this weekend at the high school’s Performing Arts Center, where RISE will present their year-end dance performance, called RISE on the Red Carpet. Drawing on award-winning and classic songs, films and plays for content and theme, the performance will feature tap, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, modern and lyrical dance. Shows are on Saturday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 2 and 7 p.m. Cost is $15, or $10 for children under 12. Seating is limited, so get there early.

Pizza and Improv

All Island teens aged 12 to 16 are welcome for pizza and improv theatre games with Nora Laudani, from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 20, at the Chilmark Public Library.

Two regional magazines, Yankee and Cape Cod Life, have selected Stina Sayre of Vineyard Haven for special tribute to her European-style clothing designs in their current summer issues. Yankee gave its Editor’s Choice Award to Stina Sayre Design for “best couture for aspirational shoppers.” Cape Cod Life named Stina Sayre Design a Martha’s Vineyard Gold Winner for best women’s clothing.

The Trustees of Reservations’ three-acre garden Mytoi on Chappaquiddick is the inspiration for an art exhibit in Oak Bluffs that opens today and continues through the coming two weeks. Two artists, Don Sibley of West Tisbury and Robert Baart of Brookline, have stories to tell about Mytoi. They tell it through words, in ink and paint.

The two-hour opening reception begins tonight at 6 p.m. at Dragonfly Gallery, 91 Dukes County avenue. Close to 40 works of art will be on exhibit.

White Ginger’s annual Trunk Show and Sale on the Island begins today, Friday, June 19, at Beach street extension in Vineyard Haven (next to Tropical Restaurant, across from the Black Dog Tavern).

White Ginger owners Mary Miller and Katherine Young offer items they have chosen on trips to in China alongside their own line of silk clothing, an extensive selection of embroidered tunics, and a range of pieces in cotton. Their luxurious hand-woven silks and cottons mix and match for any occasion, whether as a cover after a swim or a formal evening event.

Sunday is Father’s Day, and chances are you will be taking Dad out to dinner (after all, didn’t you take Mom out on Mother’s Day?)

To that end, the backers of the inaugural Martha’s Vineyard Restaurant Week hope they are onto something, because Sunday is the kickoff night for a weeklong event designed to attract hungry diners with interesting menus at reasonable prices.

On steamy summer afternoons, the aroma of chocolate fudge, peanut butter fudge or maybe caramel-smothered cashew brittle mingles in the seaside air in downtown Edgartown. It seeps out of 21 North Water street to sweeten the stale sidewalk air cocooning the VTA bus drop-off two blocks westward.

Police issued an array of criminal charges, including motor vehicle homicide and operating under the influence of alcohol, against the young driver of the car that crashed last Thursday, killing an 18-year-old Oak Bluffs girl.

The charges against Kelly McCarron, 17, of Oak Bluffs were announced Wednesday by West Tisbury police.

On June 11 a 2004 Toyota Camry driven by Ms. McCarron went off the Edgartown-West Tisbury Road. A funeral for the only passenger, Jena Pothier, was held on Wednesday.
