As Vineyard nonprofits large and small confront the realities of
competing for a shrinking pool of donor dollars, The Foundation for
Island Health (FIH) announced this week that it will eliminate the bulk
of its paid staff and convert to an organization that is run almost
entirely by volunteers.
More than two and a half years after the crash of a defective Jeep
claimed the life of a high school senior, the young man's family
finally saw some justice this week.
Amy Lawry of West Tisbury and Joan Fresher of Edgartown don't
know each other, but they shared a connection on Wednesday when Mrs.
Lawry's prize striped bass became Mrs. Fresher's dinner.
The parking in Tisbury is terrible, but traffic is worse. The police, fire and emergency services are first rate. The town should invest in lots for affordable housing and could begin by developing the southwest wedge off Holmes Hole Road. And although Tisbury harbor generates needed revenue, it is above all a vital resource that must be kept environmentally healthy.

staggering numbers, looking for a place in one of the six English
classes taught through the Martha's Vineyard Adult Learning
Partnership, where Ms. Burke is the director.
