Last Saturday, No. 5, the Island community turned out in full force to help the Community Solar Greenhouse of Martha’s Vineyard raise our new and much-needed greenhouse roof. Led by Jeremiah Brown, lead foreman at Vineyard Gardens, the roof-raisers slipped the old roof off, then wrestled and secured two layers of new plastic to complete the bright transformation. Volunteers from across the Island, the Dukes County Community Service and members pitched in to ensure a healthy growing environment for Comsog’s organic plants, flowers, vegetables and educational programs.
The following letter went out to friends and customers of Bramhall & Dunn this week.
It is with a mixture of anticipation, excitement and gratitude that I am writing to inform you of the conclusion of Bramhall & Dunn at the end of 2011. I have been happily leading this enterprise for the past 28 years, since 1983 when I was 25 years old. I am now eagerly looking forward to the next phases and adventures in my life, whatever they may be.
Changing Dukes County avenue to one-way traffic is the result of when town boards selectively ignore zoning regulations and the residents of the neighborhoods suffer the consequences.
What follows is the history of how this problem was created (all public record information).
Dave Richardson bought the lot where Smoke ’n Bones is today on Dec. 3, 1991, for $89,700.
Dave Richardson bought Tony’s Market at 119 Dukes county avenue on March 12, 1992 for $165,000.
The following was sent to Adam Moore, executive director of the Sheriff’s Meadow Foundation:
There is a general consensus that locals should attempt to do business with local merchants. I have to secure a new passport, and therefore needed to have two small photos of myself. I called a local store that performs this service, and they quoted me a price of $13.50 that seemed a little high for something that would take less than five minutes from taking the photo to turning over the photos to me.
I would like to send a message of sincere thanks to all who participated in, sponsored our prizes and attended the Local Wild Food Challenge at the Martha’s Vineyard Rod and Gun Club.
The kind support and great effort shown by the Vineyard community was completely uplifting.
I am really looking forward to next year’s Wild Food Challenge on the Island. Thank you all again.
