Decision Time in Tisbury
Hello again to our readers. We have some interesting articles for you this week from our sophomores, but we have had to hustle due to MCAS. We just took the test that basically determines whether or not we graduate, so last week we were more worried about that than about our other school tasks. But as they say, the show must go on and we hope you enjoy reading our thoughts. We enjoy sharing them with you.

CAPABLE CAPTAIN
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
As homeowners on Chappy, we want to express our complete and unrestricted support for Brad Fligor as a captain of the Chappy ferry.
We have known Brad since he started captaining the ferry. Of course he may not be the prettiest of the captains, but he sure is one of the most capable.
We have always found him to be respectful, courteous and most especially diligent about safety.
Pig on the Loose
From the Vineyard Gazette editions of April, 1983:
Think Again
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
On April 15, the voters of Tisbury will go to the polls to vote on a proposal to allow the selectmen to license the sale of beer and wine in establishments around our town. If you think that this proposal concerns what beverage you may drink with your meals, think again. This is about real estate and community.
To Our Advantage
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
In consideration of whether or not to allow beer and wine to be served by wait staff in restaurants with seating of 30 or more, using china settings, it should be noted that Tisbury is not now a dry town.
