Somewhere someone must be writing a canine horoscope chart and warning about a recent date: Here in town within a six-hour period on May 31, I personally was aware of at least three vicious dog encounters. Let us hope this isn’t a preview of things to come this summer. Normally we brace ourselves for a small minority (that translates to some 7,000 people of the extra 100,000 on Island per day in the season) of rude people. Now we may have to add to that demographic unmannerly dogs.

Well, once again, welcome to New England. Just a few days ago we were complaining on how unusually cold it was and then at a blink of an eye we are talking air conditioners and wondering if the breeze is going to come up and cool things off. Oh, well, happy summer!

A Gathering of the Island Artful

It’s not every day that you can walk into the Grange Hall and hear the steel drums of the Drum Workshop, Inc. plinking in one corner, the delicate strumming of the berimbau from the Angola Center for Capoeira drifting in from another, and artists, artisans and performers chatting about the various projects they have on the horizon.

Windemere Auction Party Tonight

Windemere Auction Party Tonight

Nestled amidst the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital is the elderly housing wing known as Windemere. In a way, the hospital sort of hugs the complex, literally encircling the building, and figuratively by giving the residents the much needed care they deserve.

But living at Windemere is not about staying at the hospital. Rather, residents take part in the abundance of activities the Vineyard has to offer. One of the ways this is possible is through the annual Windemere live auction event.
