Four suspects arrested in November in one of the largest heroin drug busts in Island history will face multiple felony drug charges later this month in Dukes County Superior Court during the spring court session.

The accused are Kaleb C. Garde, 26, of Vineyard Haven; Roseline J. Gaspar, 24, of Vineyard Haven; Garrett J. Gibson, 24, of Oak Bluffs; and Alexander W. Carlson, 22, of Edgartown.

The chief executive officer of Festival Network, the national entertainment promoter that has held a concert in Ocean Park featuring the Boston Pops for the past two years, has said the future of the concert is in doubt, largely because it lost money last year.

CEO Chris Shields has also leveled harsh accusations at the YMCA of Martha’s Vineyard, saying that the nonprofit organization still owes his company thousands of dollars from ticket sales last August.

The state might be constitutionally prohibited from supporting any religion in this country, but that does not mean it can’t support a church, at least if the church is historic and in dire need of repair.

Or so at least runs the logic behind a quartet of proposals to go before the annual town meetings of the four big Island towns this year, which would collectively give about $140,000 in Community Preservation Act grants for the upkeep of churches.

Herring have arrived in Vineyard waters, and this is particularly good news for a fish in trouble. Years ago local fishermen used to count the herring by the barrel; today they are counted only by the handful.

This is the fourth spring Massachusetts anglers have been prohibited from catching these fish. The state moratorium is a hardline effort to protect the fish from further decline. An initial three-year moratorium was renewed; it is to last another two years.

Mistakes made in a restoration project at Bend in the Road Beach have resulted in pulled beach grass, a run of complaints about unpleasant sand and a smaller beach, according to Edgartown town administrator Pamela M. Dolby.

Speaking at a selectmen’s meeting Monday, Mrs. Dolby said a number of people have criticized the project including one man who had come to her office with video footage of the beach.

“There have been a number of complaints about sand quality and the loss of beach,” she said.

For a second summer, Main street Vineyard Haven will have a vacant space where Café Moxie used to be, following the latest setback in plans to rebuild the restaurant.

Paul Currier, owner of the building destroyed by fire last July 4, told Tisbury selectmen this week work on the rebuilding would stop until at least September.

Mr. Currier previously had hoped the restaurant would be finished and trading again before the anniversary of the fire.

In business on the Vineyard, one man’s downturn is another man’s opportunity. Particularly in spring.

“Why here?” said Douglas Hewson this week, sitting in the building site of the new venue for Mediterranean, a building recently vacated by Lola’s restaurant following a 15-year run.

“In a word? Potential. We traded our water view for 75 parking spaces.”

Paul Carrick wrote and illustrated Watch Out for Wolfgang. And it’s a keeper.

To have illustrated and written his first children’s book is obviously very exciting for Mr. Carrick. “There’s something magical about seeing it neatly bound together in a complete package,” he said. “It was a special experience to be involved in all aspects of its design: I got to pick the book’s dimensions, the typefaces — everything.”

The internet may have been designed for scientists to collaborate across vast distances, but it has since become all things to all people. Accessing seemingly infinite information and instant communication across the globe are still the main uses of the Web, but there’s a new trend swiftly becoming standard online practice: social networking. This is about creating a personal presence in cyberspace.
