Barbara Flynn Leaves; Office Closes
Caseworker Retires; State May Close Welfare Office
By MANDY LOCKE
Barbara Flynn leans closer - peering over her calico-framed
glasses - and gives cat, Two-Face, another stroke before
whispering, \"I don\'t know what they\'re going to

anything other than a lifelong friend, that this office is anything
other than a comfy living room.

Two Island youths were arraigned in Edgartown District Court on
Monday and charged in connection with a mid-afternoon break-in last
Friday at a Chilmark home. Jonathan Wild of Vineyard Haven, 17, and Owen
White of West Tisbury, 19, both of them seniors at the Martha's
Vineyard Regional High School, were apprehended by Chilmark police with
the help of citizens, the state police and officers from Aquinnah and
West Tisbury.
It all started, police said, when 19-year-old Jonah Talbot rolled
his car through the four-way stop near the fire station in Oak Bluffs.
It ended up, after a six-minute police chase, at Five Corners in
Vineyard Haven.

Libraries are by their nature organized spaces. Every book has its
place: adult and children's, reference, fiction and nonfiction.
