Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

MISLEADING

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

In response to the advertisement announcing the endorsement of Neal Maciel for sheriff by the Massachusetts Correction Officers Federated Union representing the union workers of the Dukes County sheriff’s department, in the Oct. 21 issue of the Martha’s Vineyard Times, I would like to take this opportunity to clarify who this organization represents in the Dukes County sheriff’s office.

Editor’s Note: The proposal to build a fish pier in Oak Bluffs has generated dozens of letters to the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, which is reviewing the project as a development of regional impact (DRI). Most of the letters favor the pier. What follows is an edited selection.

QUICK RESPONSE

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

My family and I would like to thank the Edgartown police department and the Edgartown fire department wholeheartedly for their timely and effective response to the fire at our house early Monday morning caused by an act of arson. We would particularly like to offer our thanks and gratitude to Mike Snowden of the police department, who put his life in jeopardy by entering our house in order to extinguish the fire.
