For a couple of the coldest months each year, for more than 30 years, Ward Just and his wife, Sarah Catchpole, have escaped to Paris They need some city time and anyway, their beautiful West Tisbury home is not so well insulated. And Paris fires the imagination.
Tisbury selectman Jeff Kristal narrowly survived the challenge from Tom Pachico, 461 votes to 449 in Tuesday’s election.
It was the second close victory for Mr. Kristal over Mr.Pachico. Three years ago, as the challenger, he ended Mr.Pachico’s nine-year run on the board, by a margin of just 14 votes.
