Ebb and Flow of Beer and Wine Question:
Reasons to Say Yes
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
I want to express why Ben and I have decided to support the beer and wine proposal coming up for vote on the ballot April 12.
We are writing in support of Question 2 on West Tisbury’s April 12 town ballot. Question 2 authorizes the selectmen to grant beer and wine licenses to restaurants which seat 50 or morepatrons. It also authorizes the selectmen to grant one-day beer and wine licenses to organizers of fundraisers held at venues in West Tisbury.
p> The voters of West Tisbury will get to decide whether or not to approve the Mill Pond committee’s article number 13 on the warrant for the annual town meeting on Tuesday, April 10. The committee would like to pursue grant funding for a dredging project at the Mill Pond, owned by the town.

People are beginning the task of cleaning up the yard after the long winter, raking the lawn and flower beds. Some have already begun planting peas and other hardy vegetables in their garden. Businesses are reopening for the season, Middletown Nursery and 7a Foods to name just two.
