The West Tisbury Public Library presents the exhibition Vineyard Signs and Then Some by Marshall Segall, throughout January, with an opportunity to meet the artist on Friday, Jan. 7, at 4 p.m.
Visiting artist Marshall Segall is a newcomer to the world of painting. A West Tisburian for only a decade, he has welcomed a sense of community at the Up-Island Senior Center at the other end of the parking lot from the West Tisbury Library. There, in 2009, he found the regular Friday afternoon watercolor painting group, directed by Nancy Cabot.
Two commercial bay scallopers in Aquinnah are facing punishment for fishing without a permit in November. Selectmen voted at their Dec. 14 meeting to fine George Baird $200 for scalloping two days on Menemsha Pond without a license, but referred a complaint against Wilde Whitcomb to town counsel.

Now that the holidays are “almost” over and we can all sit back and relax a bit, won’t you please give some serious thought to taking one or two of our beautiful animals into your home? I guess Santa was so busy giving toys to all the good little children around the world and around our little Island that he just didn’t have time to find homes for the animals at the shelter.

Sunday and Monday nights the wind velocity was more than we would normally experience even in a typical northeaster. It has been exceptionally cold, in the single digits, all week but we can expect the temperature to be in the high 40s over the weekend.
Cold and Comfort
From Gazette editions at the turn of the year 1935:
Richard L. Pease of Oak Bluffs opened the ice harvest season at Crystal Lake, harvesting ice eight inches or better in thickness and of a fine quality. Granted a freezing temperature, or anything approaching it for a few days, Mr. Pease expected to fill all available space in his icehouses.

Christmas Eve, Carol Derry’s house, late. Had the chance to meet the hilarious and charming Laurie Reilly, live-in manager at the Nashua House. I told her I’d spent February of 2003 at the Nashua House with my dog, Chopper, a cocker spaniel.
Laurie’s face grew stern. “I never would have let you bring your dog!”
