More>> Film: The pleasures of snooping "Nosey Parker" - the film to be screened Saturday, March 26, at the Martha's Vineyard Agricultural Society's annual Potluck Social - shows how considerable are the charms of a certain northwestern New England state and how similar some of its cultural concerns are to those of the Vineyard.

Churches offer blessed palms to herald in Easter week that is full of services that retell the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ.

Vineyard Conservation Almanac The United States emits more carbon dioxide from its cars and light trucks than all other countries in the world except China, Russia, and Japan. Hybrid vehicles, which are highly efficient combinations of gasoline and electricity, have been developed to combat the many unhealthy air conditions found in our cities, and across our land. These vehicles are environmentally good because they reduce our dependence on foreign oil and have less impact on the local air quality. Although they carry batteries that need to be charged they don't need to be plugged in and don't need special fuel. In addition, they tend to need less maintenance then conventional vehicles, last longer, and have a higher resale value.
