Political Snarl Over Police Pay Leaves Tisbury in Traffic Jams
By MAX HART
It is a few minutes before 11:30 on a recent morning in Vineyard
Haven, and Five Corners is a dead zone.
Cars cruise past the post office on Beach Road heading toward Oak
Bluffs. Trucks coming out of Lagoon Pond Road pull into an empty
intersection, along with a lone bicyclist coming out of Beach street
extension. A few tourists sit on benches outside the Black Dog Bakery
reading newspapers.

Fund-Raising Goals Seek Many Millions
Capital Projects Planned for Vineyard from Hospital to Town
Libraries Expected to Cost $71 Million
By James Kinsella
Gazette Senior Writer
Few would dispute their worth: the updating of the Martha\'s
Vineyard Hospital, the architectural restoration of a historic Island
landmark, the expansion of services for residents seeking to recover
from drug addiction.
But they all cost money - often more money than first
expected, as construction costs race upward.

Edgartown Fishermen Sound Off Over Changes to Dinghy Docks
By RACHEL KOVAC
A proposal by the new owners of the Navigator Restaurant in
Edgartown to relocate the dinghy docks outside the restaurant has
commercial and charter fishermen up in arms.
Slated to go into effect in May of 2006, the plan saw quick approval
with little or no public discussion this week. It surfaced for the first
time at the weekly selectmen's meeting Monday and was approved by
the park and recreation department yesterday morning.
The Atlantic codfish, once the most important fish in the waters of southeastern New England, is on the verge of collapse. Conservation measures that have restricted fishermen throughout the Northeast over the last three decades may have only delayed an inevitable long-term death march for the cod, scientists and fisheries managers say.
While fishermen continue to harvest cod, scientists report that cod stocks are so depleted on Georges Bank there may not be enough fish left to bring about recovery, unless drastic measures are taken to protect the female population.
