Chilmark is missing Danny Bryant. For so long he was a frequently met neighbor of many of us and we are saddened by his unfortunate fall and death. He was larger than life in so many ways. He loved all that the Vineyard offered in its natural state. He was loved by dogs, feared by deer and much loved and appreciated by most of us. He was a total outdoorsman and could entertain with tales of his adventures for hours. We offer condolences to his many friends and his family. We will miss him greatly.

The holiday weekend swept through Chilmark as it always does, with lots of chores still to do and the first wave of visitors here hoping for fun in the sun. The weather tried to please everyone but there was a lot of fog on occasion. Everyone seemed happy to be here and that is what makes it a holiday weekend. The parades and speeches helped to focus on the meaning of the weekend and that was good.

Chilmark has seen the last of January. Actually she treated us better than many other places in New England. As I write midweek, the ground is clear and very little snow remains. The rains were hard for awhile this week and more welcome than snow. What’s next is anybody’s guess.

Chilmark will not be Disney East this time I am so proud to be a part of this town. The zoning board members concurred that their building inspector had made the right decision in granting permits to two working farms for wind turbines. It is a time of change for all of us and this small agricultural and fishing community is fortunate to have citizens that are willing to be bold in trying new ways to survive and succeed in the future.

Chilmark looks like Dubai this week . . . great tall building cranes everywhere you look. Actually, there are three of them and they were all working at the same time some days this week. One is working for the town of Chilmark, rebuilding the way out to the fill dock; one is working for the U.S. Coast Guard on their dock and the third is working for a private home owner replacing a dock. I suspect manning the cranes has been a challenge with the strong winds that hung around Chilmark all week.

Chilmark is snowless as I write midweek. We are eyeing the next storm coming along and hoping it also brings us rain.
