Congratulations to two new American citizens who studied very hard and passed their tests: Joalson Cardoso who became a citizen on Oct. 23, and Ana Maria Cecilio who passed her test on Nov. 24. Both are pleased and proud and looking forward to voting in their first election. Welcome to the club!

If you live or walk or get lost near a wooded area at this time of year, you’re bound to hear the distant (or worse, not so distant) blam! of gunfire. This is especially disconcerting when you realize you’re wearing earth-tone clothes, and you recall that a blazing orange polypro jacket — maybe not your normal fashion statement — could stop a hunter from mistaking you for the venison meatballs he plans to freeze and serve with cold Rolling Rock for the next Super Bowl game.

The sky this week gave us a beautiful show. The crescent moon and the planets Jupiter and Venus were very prominent. Monday night was the best night and the first things you saw when you looked up.
Family to Family
On Friday, Dec. 12, the Serving Hands Program and the Family-to-Family Program hand out Christmas dinners. As in the past, the group will provide all the ingredients for a wonderful holiday.
Distribution to income-qualified Islander will take place at the First Baptist Church parish house, on William street in Vineyard Haven from 2 p.m. Please do not arrive early, as volunteers will be packing the bags and boxes.
