The president of the Chilmark town affairs council is publicly apologizing for an incident at the Chilmark Community Center summer camp involving three children last week.
Chilmark selectmen may in the future consider changes to the rental policy for the Chilmark Community Center, including requiring a certified bartender or a designated supervisor for events where alcohol is served, following a recent incident involving alcohol when a Menemsha fisherman was arrested at a memorial service event at the center.
This week selectmen called for a review of the rental policy for the center, which is often used for social events such as weddings, birthdays and memorial services, where alcohol is served.
A love of the arts is just one aspect of the Vineyard that sets it apart from other communities.
And on Saturday Islanders who love the arts will have the opportunity to attend a free concert titled Drops in the Stream: A Concert of Music, Poetry, and Dance. Performed by the Row Twelve Music Ensemble at the Chilmark Community Center. The concert is the brainchild of Chilmark resident Frederic Hotchkiss and the result of a community collaboration to bring a fusion of music and performing arts to the Vineyard.
The line-up for the March jam included Kate Taylor, Rick B and the Slip Time Ensemble, Setsunai, Lucy Mayhew, Jemima James, Willy Mason, Ben Taylor, John O'Toole, Ben Robinson, David Stanwood and many more Island musicians.
