They say you can’t put a price on art, but if sales are strong this season a limited edition photograph could defray the high cost of saving an Island landmark. Jeffrey Serusa, owner of the Seaworthy Gallery in Vineyard Haven, says he will donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of Gay Head Lighthouse at Night to the Save the Gay Head Lighthouse Committee.
Upcoming changes to a major intersection are on the right track, West Tisbury town officials said at a public hearing Wednesday.
The early cold snap this year causes our furry friends to seek warm places to sleep. The Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard advises Islanders to keep garage, shed and barn doors closed to prevent your or your neighbors’ cats from getting inadvertently shut in. It is easy for a cold animal to find a way in, but nearly impossible for them to get out of a securely locked structure.

In the middle of October, Luanne Johnson and I watched a single snow goose fly into Sengekontacket Pond from offshore. It is odd to spot a single snow goose. They usually migrate in large flocks and when the flocks descend from the V in the sky the scene is likened to a “snow storm of white birds.” Remember when you shook the round paper weight and the snow swirled around? That is what snow geese look like coming in for a landing. I have seen huge flocks of snow geese in Chesapeake Bay and in New Mexico, but never on the Vineyard.

Chairman Cheryl Andrews-Maltais said the tribe is “totally cleared” to build a casino facility in Aquinnah and would do so in a matter of months, not years. She said the tribe is looking for a partner in the project.
Class II casinos are restricted to games of bingo, and various card and table games where players can bet against each other but not against a dealer or the house.
