Eli Dagostino is a young Island photographer. But his youth belies his experience. Among other roles he is the staff photographer at the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival. A stilt walker in a three foot hat, a woman reborn as the “bird lady,” cute kids by the hundreds; Mr. Dagostino captures them all, and they’ve never looked so good.
And now you have the chance to look just as good.
Al-Anon Moves
The Martha’s Vineyard weekly Al-Anon meeting is moving its location to the medical staff library, above the kitchen, at the hospital. The group holds meetings every Sunday, from 9 to 10 a.m.
The change in location is effective immediately.
Paul Sullivan’s last day in the Coast Guard and last day at Menemsha Coast Guard Station coincided on Wednesday. Mr. Sullivan, who had spent 22 years in the Coast Guard, and two years in Menemsha, departed with subdued fanfare at about 9 a.m. He took his car and headed home to his family, South of Boston.

Shotgun deer hunting season started with a bang this week. Less than 40 hours into the two-week season, hunters had bagged at least 100 deer, according to the three mandatory check-in sites throughout the Island. A check-in station in the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest reported that 60 deer had been brought in by Tuesday afternoon. Check-in stations at Larry’s Tackle Shop in Edgartown and at the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) reported 20 deer each.
Aquinnah selectmen have called a one-article special town meeting for Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. for approval of a solar array at the town landfill.
Voters will decide whether the town can enter into a 10-year lease with Vineyard Power. The energy cooperative would build a 50 kilowatt system of about 200 panels, which would produce enough energy to power all of the municipal buildings.
The lease comes at no cost to the town.
