On April 9, I understand residents of Oak Bluffs will have their annual town meeting and this year it will include voting on what is affectionately known as the town-wide LIMOD zoning overlay.

Gazette chronicle: From the March 27, 1964 edition of the Vineyard Gazette by Joseph Chase Allen

Many Oak Bluffs residents are unaware of a critically important vote coming up at town meeting on April 9.

The Tisbury planning board is inviting public comment on the nature/nurture of our neighborhoods on Tuesday, April 2 at 5 p.m. over Zoom.

The Edgartown Croquet Club has been on the Island in one form or another since 1981, a continuation of many earlier clubs on Martha’s Vineyard.

Please, support the Massachusetts bills H. 3245, S. 2197 and S. 2189 that will ban traveling circuses with elephants, primates, big cats and giraffes from coming into the state. Please, contact your representatives and ask them to support these bills.

The life of a circus animal is horrific, traveling from town to town in trailers in extreme heat, in small spaces where they can’t move, chained 23 hours a day, and then brought into a tent with bright lights and screaming crowds. The threat of being hit with a bullhook or whip is constant.

Clemente Hernandez, 41, of Vineyard Haven, was arraigned on March 11 charges in Tisbury of malicious destruction of property, assault, assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest.

The million dollar question in the recent vote for the new Chilmark School principal position is why not choose the exceptionally qualified, thoughtful, bright Island candidate with guaranteed housing and personal historical knowledge of the place and its culture?

Most of us complain about the din caused by gas-powered leaf-blowers. Now Edgartown voters have an opportunity on April 9 to put a stop to them.

Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.
