WHILE ROME BURNS

SQUARE SUPPORT

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

The following letter is being sent to the Martha’s Vineyard Commission:

We are writing this letter in support of the Bradley Square project.

CAPABLE CAPTAIN

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

As homeowners on Chappy, we want to express our complete and unrestricted support for Brad Fligor as a captain of the Chappy ferry.

We have known Brad since he started captaining the ferry. Of course he may not be the prettiest of the captains, but he sure is one of the most capable.

We have always found him to be respectful, courteous and most especially diligent about safety.

LIGHTS OUT

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

Tomorrow, Saturday night, March 29, is Lights Out Martha’s Vineyard from 8 to 9 p.m. We encourage every Islander to participate by turning out lights for this one hour to raise awareness about energy conservation.

SUPPORTING DIVERSITY

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

The Island community recently suffered a tragic loss with the death of a young woman. No one denies this. But in the aftermath of the accident, some members of our community began to talk in disparaging and mean-spirited terms about other members of our community.

FLOURISHING LIBRARY

It has been reported in your paper that the Aquinnah Public Library has cut hours.

This has not happened, nor has this been planned for the future. Our library hours continue to be Tuesday and Thursday from 2 to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
