The damage estimates are in and the price tag for repairing the West Dock in Menemsha following the July 12 fire may exceed $1 million. And as they struggle to figure out how the town is going to pay for it all, the visibly harried Chilmark selectmen this week voiced their disappointment in the Coast Guard for its slow response on cleanup efforts following the fire.
In the middle of March, lifelong Chilmarker Mike Holtham was pulling out from his winter home on Quansoo when a group of fire trucks sped by, sirens blaring. Curious, he made a split-second decision to follow the trucks, which were headed to a fire on a road nearby.

The next day, Mr. Holtham walked into the Chilmark fire station and signed up to be a volunteer firefighter.
