A standard for appreciation
To the Editor:This is a letter of heartfelt thanks on behalf of Habitat for Humanity of Martha's Vineyard and the Island Food Pantry volunteers to David and Joanne — the owners of Chesca's restaurant on North Water Street in Edgartown.
Overjoyed by paper step
I was overjoyed when I read that a market would take the risky initiative to place a fee on paper grocery bags.
What trees?
I am a fellow lowly minion like Steve Bernier, although I'm a native Islander who doesn't own $10,320,400 In Island real estate.
Not so new
In the few times I've needed to cross the new Lagoon Pond Drawbridge so far this spring, I have but one thing to say: New House, same furniture.
Where did the yes signs go?
I thought that America was the land of democracy and that people's beliefs and opinions were protected, to be accepted and respected by everybody.
Thanks, and a reminder
The purpose of this letter is to show my appreciation for the protection of open spaces, the maintenance of wildlife habitats, and the beautiful setting that has been established on our small Island.
Dirty tricks
This is probably a case of too little too late, but I believe there has been an assault on democracy here in Vineyard Haven.
Church/state not the issue
In James Sepanara's letter of April 22 ("Church/state, no divide,") he left the impression that the town had decided to spend taxpayers' money to support the functions and missions of the First Congregational Church of West Tisbury.
Guidelines for motorists and cyclists
Spring is finally here and the Multiple Sclerosis Ride is this weekend, making it a good time to remind everyone — motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians — to be aware of increased bicycling activity and review some rules of the road.
Support for addiction’s victims
Currently working in the field of addiction, I have to say that arresting, detaining, and railroading the traffickers are only small measures toward resolving this area's critical epidemic.
Democratic prescription
Over the past week, I made a number of calls to town residents urging them to vote in the coming election and asking them to support my favorite candidate.
More attention needed
The proposed connector road has been planned for some time, and the town has been asked to approve several stages.
Eating in a good cause
On Wednesday, April 7, Martha's Vineyard Youth Hockey (MVYH) families and players rallied their supporters to join in a wonderfully fun and simple fundraising event at Sharky's Cantina.
She’s studying for the Bee
I want to thank you for sponsoring me for the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington DC from May 30 to June 6.
A performance beyond expectations
After two years of fundraising, four months of evening, Saturday and Sunday rehearsals, and months of intricate planning and coordination, 28 MVRHS Minnesingers and their chaperones boarded the ferry in Vineyard Haven bound for Prague in the Czech Republic.
Exploit the dry brand
In times of financial constraint, capitalizing on quirkiness is often the best strategy.
A quiet, friendly place
To the Editor: I am a resident of Vineyard Haven and I am writing in support of the upcoming beer and wine resolution.
