Island Home hits dolphin, breaks door - The Martha s Vineyard Times

The Martha s Vineyard Times Island Home hits dolphin, breaks door A line of people waits to get onboard the Island Home in Vineyard Haven Wednesday.

Jim Malkin, the Vineyard’s representative on the SSA board, said the vessel is slated to return to service at noon Friday.  Martha’s Vineyard Times Editor George Brennan was aboard the vessel when the allision  occurred and described it as “jarring.”

Chilmark considers M V Summer Book Series in August - The Martha s Vineyard Times

The Martha s Vineyard Times Chilmark considers M.V. Summer Book Series in August Selectmen say any approval will be ‘provisional’ based on COVID conditions. Founded in 2005, the festival is an outgrowth of the Chilmark Community Center’s evening lecture series. Suellen Lazarus, founder of the Martha’s Vineyard Book Festival, pitched the concept of the event to the board at Tuesday’s meeting.  Normally, the full-fledged festival would be held at the Chilmark Community Center, and would feature authors being interviewed by panels, book signings, and other programs. But Lazarus said the five-day Summer Series would serve as a scaled-down stand-in for the regular festival, which would be impossible to pull off due to COVID restrictions.

Moran tries to blunt Islands SSA vote - The Martha s Vineyard Times

The Martha s Vineyard Times Moran tries to blunt Islands’ SSA vote ‘Legislation like that only serves to tear us apart,’ Jones says. Updated April 21 The structural majority afforded the Vineyard and Nantucket through the Steamship Authority’s enabling act could come to an end if a bill sponsored by State Senator Susan Moran, D-Falmouth, is voted into law. Moran told The Times Wednesday the bill aims to provide “parity” between the port communities. “My bill really looks at some parity between the island communities and the mainland communities so that no town really feels disenfranchised…,” Moran said.  Moran’s legislation would essentially grant filibuster or stalemate power to the three minority ports of Barnstable, Falmouth, and New Bedford, should they vote against something in unison. Presently, the combined vote of the Vineyard and Nantucket constitutes a supermajority.
