Please Adopt Us
The Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard is pleased to report that it has a lot of empty cages. Many of our cats have been adopted in recent weeks, and they are happily in their new homes for which we are so thankful.
We still have several cats, all deserving of your consideration. One cat we are featuring this week is Barley. She is a tortoiseshell and white, an indoor/outdoor cat who would make a great mouser. She just isn’t happy being shut in a cage and would so love find a good home.
Is West Tisbury a vanishing postal address?
Town resident Ashley Hunter told the selectmen this week that he had strong concerns about his mailing address being recognized as a Vineyard Haven address instead of West Tisbury and urged the board to try to do something about it.
It’s nine in the morning on a recent Saturday, and if you look closely at the group on the ice of the Martha’s Vineyard Arena, you can see the future.
Their jerseys, helmets, pads, and skates are pint-size — as are the players themselves, as if a full-size hockey player was put in the dryer for too long. Their knees wobble and their legs splay out as they come to slow, careful stops. They hold their sticks uncertainly, and their swats at round plastic balls more often than not throw them off balance and onto their rears.
