Letter from the Chamber
Nantucket Stroll Weekend was founded on the premise of helping our local businesses thrive throughout the holiday season by encouraging shopping, dining and enjoying local offerings. Now in its 47th year we couldn’t be more proud, as your Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce, to welcome you back to experience our enchanted holiday season. Partake in world class lodging, dining, and shopping, all while remembering the reason for the season. We ask that you keep in mind that we have all endured some difficult times and we are stronger because we stuck together. So be kind this holiday season and remember to be respectful of our business’ wishes for entering and enjoying their spaces. Don’t forget your masks while on public transportation, this includes the ferries, buses and airlines. Things might be slightly different this year but we are so happy to have you back in person, in our happy place. We look forward to welcoming you!

Draft statement on erosion project a road map to moving forward By Brian Bushard bbushard@inkym.com
Above all else, the Select Board wants to “avoid endless wrangling,” and “spend town and citizen time and resources wisely” when it comes to protecting Baxter Road from erosion, according to a draft position statement released Monday. When it comes to the Sconset Beach Preservation Fund’s current Courtesy of Kipper Hughes 950-foot geotextile tube project HELPING HAND: A Holdgate Partners at excavator operated by Erik Hughes helps refloat the Poco Loco, the base of Sankaty Bluff, however, which ran aground on Fisherman’s Beach Saturday night. Turn to News in Brief, page 4A for the story. wrangling has come to define the entire project over an eight-year battle that has resulted in litigation, threats from the SBPF to remove the tubes, and denials from the Conservation Commission to expand it. “There shouldn’t be any more threats,” Select Board member Matt Fee said. “If you’re a partner to a business and you threaten them to get something done, then what kind

retaliation from their peers, according to an article last week in the student newspaper Veritas. The story was a gut punch for high-school principal Mandy Vasil and assistant principal Jennifer Psaradelis, to read that some students don’t feel that reporting these behaviors is worth the trouble. “I’m not happy about it,” Vasil said. “Our main goal is to have students feel comfortable and safe in our schools.” The story, written by Veritas editor-in-chief Sarah Swenson, outlines instances that include racist and homophobic graffiti – slurs and swastikas – in the student bathrooms, as well as students being teased and taunted for their appearance and dress. It said that only a handful of these incidences were reported.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced legislation that would establish ports of entry in Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and other East Coast Democratic strongholds to process undocumented immigrants attempting to cross the southern border. In a statement released Tuesday, Cruz said Texas border communities are “struggling to deal with a massive influx of illegal immigrants.” “That’s why today I am introducing this crucial legislation to alleviate the massive overload at

saying, “It was just a lot of time and energy spent by my parents and my friends for no outcome.” Psaradelis acknowledged there are probably some instances where students have reported incidents to adults in the school system that weren’t addressed in the manner they had hoped, making it less likely for them to report in the future. “It probably depends on who they report to. Our job is to make sure students feel safe in coming forward and to know that we as administrators will act with urgency and immediacy to address those issues,” she said. But because of student confidentiality, both Vasil and Psaradelis said a student who reports might not always be made aware of the
