Miles Arrives

Andrea Falgout-Hirt and John Hirt Jr. of Vineyard Haven announce the birth of a son, Miles Ondrej Hirt, born on Oct. 31 at the Martha’s Vineyard Community Hospital. Miles weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces at birth.

Aquinnah is double-timing its effort to bring wind power to the community.

Since its creation over 30 years ago, the Martha’s Vineyard Commission has served as one the most unusual political bodies in the nation — a regional planning agency vested with exceptional powers and charged with protecting the Island’s unique environment and character.

Backstage at the high school performing arts center, director and manager Jim Novack, 61, has assembled a horror show of mangled pianos. A gnarly Hammond, salvaged for $50 from a Vineyard basement some years ago, is crammed into the darkened corner, next to an upright from the 1950s, with a missing front rudely exposing the instrument’s strings and hammers. To its right stands an Everett piano, manufactured for institutional use. Its keys stick, sounding flat notes in perpetuity until physically pulled back in to place.
