Concerns about cellular radiation — either real or perceived — have prompted several Katama residents to protest a plan by AT&T to place a cell antenna in an abandoned silo on town-owned property at the Farm Institute.

The Edgartown lighthouse could have ended up in Arkansas.

Unconvinced that the town is getting its money’s worth from the county integrated pest management program, one Tisbury resident proposed this week that the town establish its own program.

“I think we can do it for cheaper and also want to add skunks,” said Joe Tierney, who is chairman of the town emergency services facility building committee. His remarks came at the selectmen’s meeting Wednesday.

How, when and where to move the Gay Head Light, along with the money to pay for it: these are all active topics for discussion by a newly-formed committee charged with developing a plan to relocate the historic brick tower.

The lighthouse now stands 50 feet from an eroding cliff at the westernmost edge of the Vineyard.

A 12-member committee appointed by the town selectmen last month held its first meeting Wednesday, which was mostly organizational.

Aquinnah voters will decide in February whether the town should begin steps to take ownership of the historic Gay Head Light.

The town selectmen said at a meeting last week they would schedule a special town meeting for the first week of February.

“We should have permission from the town to spend time on this, particularly if it comes down to acquiring it,” selectman Jim Newman said.
