Thirty-five years ago today, some five dozen Vineyard residents gathered in Owen Park on Vineyard Haven Harbor and walked along Beach Road into Edgartown, picking up garbage along the way. They filled six trucks with more than two tons of trash, and brought the glass they gathered to the West Tisbury dump, where they gave a demonstration of what would grow to become the Vineyard's recycling program.

A lean budget, a short spending list and a relatively
slim warrant await Chilmark voters at the annual meeting on Monday
night.

Moderator Everett H. Poole will once again take up the gavel
before voters take on a 27-article warrant. The meeting begins at
7:30 p.m. at the Chilmark Community Center.

William J. Weibrecht, the manager of the Martha's Vineyard Airport for the last five years, stunned members of the Dukes County commission and airport commission this week when he announced his intention to quit the job, effective May 20.
