Lucky in friendship

A little outrage needed about the tree trimming
To the Editor:Where are the outrage people?Have they passed on, or moved away — perhaps to Florida or Arizona? Don't they know the civic minded, responsible outrage person finds a replacement person before leaving?I am not an outrage person.
Wind power, the Trojan Horse
Greece committed to 2,587 commercial wind turbines, and ministry officials estimate that as many as 7,000 turbines could be installed by 2010 .
Unlucky Nantucket Sound
The unfortunate aspect of the Cape Wind project is that it is a good project but in the wrong place.

I am writing to inform the Martha's Vineyard community that I have resigned from my position of executive director of Women Empowered.
Volunteers made the difference
A big thank you goes to the students, faculty and administration of the Oak Bluffs School, who cleaned up the long-accumulating litter along the path that goes through the woods behind the school.
