Cindy Kane Show
Artist Cindy Kane knows how to mix things up. Literally. Her latest exhibit entitled Inheritance currently on exhibit at the A Gallery in Vineyard Haven is a prime example of the artist’s journey into the paradoxical, eclectic world of today.
Ms. Kane’s mixed media exhibit brings together the many compartments of her life — motherhood, concern for the environment and global warfare and her interest in ancient artwork. She creates pieces that depict a world in flux and tumult.
Whether or not she’s a true blood-relation, Auntie Anne Beiler is every pretzel fanatic’s favorite aunt. That’s because Auntie Ann is the founder, with husband Jonas, of Auntie Anne’s pretzel company.
Tonight, August 17, beginning at 7:30 p.m., Auntie Anne will visit the Federated Church in Edgartown to talk about her journey, from humble beginnings to worldwide snack attack guru.

Lynx Returns
The privateer Lynx, a 122-foot Baltimore clipper square topsail schooner, will be visiting the Vineyard next weekend. She arrives at Tisbury Wharf at noon on Friday, August 24 and will stay the weekend. This is a return visit. The ship was here last spring.
Lynx was built in 2001 in Rockport, Me. Her port of registry is New Hampshire; the foundation that runs her is based in Newport Beach, Calif. Jeff Wood, executive director of the Lynx Educational Foundation, said this trip is to commemorate the remembrance of the War of 1812.

The winners, as judged by Jeff Donaroma, Libby Ellis, Bonnie DeSousa, Carlos DeSousa and Abbey Smith, are as follows.
