Harbor View Comedy

Comedy is coming back to the Harbor View Hotel, and we’re not talking about just watching a buddy after drinking one too many Manhattans at the bar.

The professionals are coming to the Island again. The show features comediens Greg Howell, Danny Kelly and Carolyn Plummer.

Tickets are $20 in advance, or $25 at the door.

Doors open at 8:30 p.m. for this 21 and older show.

Scheduled maintenance on Thursday, Feb. 23 will reduce traffic on the Sagamore Bridge to one lane in each direction. Delays are likely to occur during peak travel periods. All travel lanes on the Bourne Bridge will remain open to traffic.

Two Akitas previously sentenced to be euthanized were ordered into the ownership of an off-Island rescue group by the West Tisbury selectmen Wednesday night. Per an agreement between the town and the dogs’ owners, the dogs are never to return to the Island.

The dogs will be surrendered to the Lexus Project, a New York–based rescue group that helps canines facing euthanization or incarceration. The group will assess the Akitas and then place them with an adoptive family.
