Select Board Hopefuls State Positions on Zoning, Jetties

Kris Chvatal, Bill Cleary, Emma Green-Beach, and K. Mark Leonard were all queried about issues on the warrant for annual town meeting on Tuesday. 

Solar Eclipse

The long awaited solar eclipse takes place in the afternoon of Monday, April 8. While this is not a total solar eclipse for Martha's Vineyard and much of New England there is plenty to watch. The eclipse is most notable at 3:25 p.m. when more than 90 per cent of the sun is blocked by the moon for ten minutes. The timing and the amount of totality will vary depending on where you are located.

The first evidence of the moon crossing over the sun will be noticeable through solar eclipse glasses after 2 p.m. and the whole show ends for us around 4:30 p.m.

Support for Article 87

I support Article 87 — Large Events in Residential Neighborhoods — that is scheduled for vote at town meeting on April 9.
