With requests for demolitions and teardowns at an all-time high on the Vineyard, the Martha’s Vineyard Commission is in the throes of redrafting its policy for reviewing demolition projects.

A shipment of medical supplies is on its way to Ukraine from the Vineyard thanks to a collaboration between the Martha's Vineyard Hospital and a West Tisbury resident with family in the war-torn country.

Earth Day is Friday, and on the Vineyard a variety of activities are planned for throughout the weekend.

Please Adopt Us We have a number of adoptions to report. Petey, the older Jack Russell/dachshund cross has found his forever home. Two older female black cats, Suzie and Shadow, have also gotten new families. We’re also happy to say that Fred the guinea pig and Ophelia the hamster have been fallen in love with and now have families to dote on them as well. Who wants a snuggle buddy? Our featured pet is Vinny, a two-year old, white and tabby neutered male cat. Vinny is one affectionate boy: he’s a lap cat who loves to be held, purrs and purrs, and just wants to snuggle.
