Letters to the Editor

Not an endorsement

I sent this letter to Mark London and Paul Foley of the Martha's Vineyard Commission and to Sam Dunn, the developer.

Shellfishermen provide a valuable service

To the Editor:The article entitled "Oak Bluffs shellfishermen air gripes, reap rewards" (May 6) perhaps missed the point.

Cafe Moxie on hold

Disappointing to say the least, but 48 Main Street in Vineyard Haven, the site of Cafe Moxie, is probably losing another season.

Grateful for tour

As the Director of the After School Program for the YMCA of Martha's Vineyard, I have had the opportunity to meet and integrate many talented individuals into an enriching program for our Island children.

Lucky in friendship

To the Editor:I can't begin to adequately thank everyone involved in the "Jimmy Buffet Fundraiser" held for me at the P.

A little outrage needed about the tree trimming

To the Editor:Where are the outrage people?Have they passed on, or moved away — perhaps to Florida or Arizona? Don't they know the civic minded, responsible outrage person finds a replacement person before leaving?I am not an outrage person.

Swish, swish, swish

Good morning, Mom, Dad, and Brother Ian.

Better than chowder

Congratulations to Jim Gordon of Cape Wind.

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.
