The following letter went out to friends and customers of Bramhall & Dunn this week.

QUESTIONABLE CONDUCT

Editors, Vineyard Gazette

If the Martha’s Vineyard Commission was ever well-served by Mark London, that is no longer the case. His attempted gag order in the matter of the highly controversial roundabout is an insult not only to the commissioners whom he serves, but to the entire Vineyard community as well. In sum, he directs commissioners to freeze time as of the closing of the public hearing, and thereafter, to stick their heads in the sand.

TO MARKET

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

I’ve just come from the first winter farmers’ market at the Agricultural Hall (what a perfect venue) and we are so lucky to have such a resource. The range of food from soup and baked goods to winter squash, potatoes, pork sausage, beets, beautiful dried flowers (Sue Silva, of course), jams and jellies, greens, cheese and yogurt was amazing.

RETHINKING THE BOATHOUSE

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

The following letter was sent to the Chilmark selectmen:

I keep reading over the articles in the Gazette and the Times and wondering if everyone involved with the Coast Guard boathouse is missing the point altogether. We the citizens, the selectmen, the Coast Guard, and the people in Washington who control the flow of our tax dollars, should be asking what is best for the harbor.

DOING HIS JOB

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

I read in today’s morning news a brief announcement of the summons against Jamie Zambrama.
