Welcome Nonna! John Doyle of White Plains and West Tisbury very kindly drove my mom, Iole Gardella, to the Island yesterday, on his birthday, no less. Amber Willoughby wasted no time getting over to visit with Nonna. Meanwhile, Paul and Marge Hows said goodbye to their granddaughter, Bridget Slomka, from Goodyear, Ariz., yesterday and are preparing to welcome daughter, Julia, son in law Javier, and grandkids, Aidan and Olivia, today.

A thin crescent moon will hug the southwestern sky on the evening of Monday, July 4. If the weather cooperates, viewers will not only have a great view of a manmade spectacle, but will see the earth’s nearest neighbor before it slips below the horizon.
Corrections
A profile of the actress Diana Muldaur in the Tuesday Gazette incorrectly named the group that was filming Ms. Muldaur. It is the Archive of American Television Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Foundation.
•
A story in the Friday Gazette about Hospice of Martha’s Vineyard’s 30th anniversary reported incorrectly on the relationship between Island Hospice and the Vineyard Nursing Association. The VNA sometimes provides nursing staff for Island Hospice, but is not affiliated with it.

It is easy to spice up your life.
A simple walk through a wetland or along a stream or marsh may just do the trick. Breathe deeply and enjoy the fragrant, spicy scent of swamp azalea. Blooming swamp azaleas provide an awakening for your nose, but not a taste for your tongue.
Gus Ben David, Dick Jennings and Rob Bierregaard and a crew of volunteers have been erecting osprey poles for many a year. The reason they do so is to ensure pairs of ospreys have a safe site to raise their young. Gus asks that anyone who finds a pair of the Vineyard’s favorite fish hawks nesting in natural trees or on power or phone poles contact him at 508-627-5634. He will gather his crew together and place an osprey pole as near as possible to the existing nest. In some cases it is necessary to move the nest from the old site to the newly raised pole.
