Accusing West Tisbury businessman Paul Garcia of bolting on a $10,000 debt and dissolving his corporation to avoid paying it, the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) came out swinging this week in the dispute that erupted when the deli still popularly called Back Alley’s closed abruptly at the start of this month.

When he shuttered Garcia’s Deli and Bakery after more than seven years, Mr. Garcia blamed his landlords, the tribe, for raising his rent, calling them incompetent and dysfunctional.

Eco MV is proud to announce the promotion of Scott Condon to the position of executive vice president.

Before joining Eco MV in December of 2008, Mr. Condon, a graduate of Syracuse University with a degree in Business Management, worked in Hong Kong for a gaming company and in Arizona for an organic fertilizer startup.

“Eco MV isn’t like anything else — there is no comparison in my experience,” Mr. Condon says.

Garcia’s Deli & Bakery, the take-out eatery behind Alley’s General Store in central West Tisbury, hung out “everything must go” signs last weekend and closed its doors Monday afternoon, not for the season but for good.
