Elevated Views
From Earlier Gazette Editions:
Martha’s Vineyard has two sorts of hills, those that are real hills with impressive height, and those that merely happen to be somewhat elevated above the general locale. As to height, Peaked Hill with its 311 feet tops all others and Prospect Hill with its 302 feet has the loftiest appearance because of its location close to Vineyard Sound.

We have been living a true Island spring — the mainland is having sun and warm weather and we are having fog and cool weather. But the upside of this story is when the city people are having hot scorching weather, we are having a cool sea breeze. So we will get our payback in July and August.
Once again my school birthday list has run out so I will catch up next week.
The morning sky is loaded with planets. For those who rise well before the sun, say 4 a.m., there is a show of planets hovering in the southeastern sky. Venus, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter are in a tight nest with the thin crescent moon. The time to look is about a half-hour before sunrise, although you will need a cloudless eastern horizon to see them all.
Honor Roll Addendum
The following correction and additions to the Tisbury School honor roll were sent to the Gazette this week.
Lachlan Cormie received high honors for the third quarter; he had been listed as receiving honors.
Seventh grade honors also went to Megan Piche, Michaela Piche and Max Santos.
Please Adopt Us
All the staff and volunteers at the Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard wish everyone a belated Happy Easter. We appreciate so much all the contributions — including money, food, blankets, toys and cleaning supplies — that people have made throughout the year. The shelter could not survive without your generosity.
