Football plays its homecoming game (and final home game of the season) tomorrow against Medford at 6:30 p.m. Senior recognition begins at 5:30 p.m.

The problem with streaks is that they must all come to an end. Even Joe DiMaggio had to strike out at some point.

They’ve occupied Owen Park, Menemsha, Five Corners and the West Tisbury town hall. And tomorrow Occupy Wall Street organizers on the Vineyard are planning an early-morning demonstration at the blinker intersection in Oak Bluffs. The gathering is planned from 7 to 9 a.m. on Veterans Day.

“Bring a sign. Bring your energy. Bring your voice . . . a demonstration of solidarity and support. All are welcome to join us,” wrote BZ Riger in a post on the Gazette Facebook page this week.

Please Adopt Us

The Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard will be open on Veterans Day, Friday, Nov. 11. It would be a special time to come visit all of our great cats and perhaps take one home. Last week three wonderful cats were adopted, but we have many more who need the love that only a good home can provide.

Knitters, quilters and needlepointers alike have a few more days to stock up for the winter craft season at the Heath Hen in Tisbury Marketplace. After being less than a week away from closing its doors permanently, the 28-year-old store was sold by owner Lynne Benson to Jan Paul, a Vineyard artist. Ms. Paul will keep the store open until Nov. 12 before closing for the winter, and will reopen in new premises come spring.

Tisbury volunteer firefighters led the way in mobilizing a massive effort to quickly contain a huge fire inside a metal boat shed Saturday afternoon at Maciel Marine in Vineyard Haven.

The cause of the fire is under investigation by the state fire marshal and state police, but is believed to be accidental, Tisbury fire chief John Schilling said.

The Vineyard Haven home of retired 60 Minutes anchor Mike Wallace was sold early last month for $7 million.

The buyer is former Virginia governor and current commonwealth Sen. Mark Warner. Mr. Warner’s name does not appear on the real estate transaction but the trustee who handled the sale for the buyer is Nicholas D. Perrins, who worked for the Virginia Democrat in the private sector before he was elected governor.

Healthy Living Funds

Martha’s Vineyard will receive a federal grant of $75,000 to expand healthy living efforts, state representative Tim Madden has announced. The funds will be used to promote active lifestyle efforts, tobacco-free living and clinical preventive services through the Mass in Motion program.

The dog days of summer may be over at Lambert’s Cove Beach and Uncle Seth’s Pond after West Tisbury voters have their say at next week’s special town meeting.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the West Tisbury School gymnasium, when voters will take up a 10-article warrant that features a number of small transfers and routine budget housekeeping items. But one article is sure to generate debate: a proposal to prohibit dogs and horses on Lambert’s Cove Beach and at Seth’s Pond between June 15 and Sept. 15.
