How Oak Bluffs has spent CPA money
To the Editor:There were public comments about the spending of the Oak Bluffs community preservation committee at the Oak Bluffs annual town meeting that I would like to clarify.
Conserve, don’t generate
I have read what seems to be an endless stream of letters about how to generate more electricity for the Island (and the country in general) while protecting the environment and the Island lifestyle.
Just a few
Our Island is now faced with a proliferation of wind power projects, on and offshore, which it should be.
Rethink our energy path
America, with only five percent of the world's population, consumes 25 percent of the world's oil, coal, natural gas, and uranium.
Can’t stop till they stop
At the risk of turning off readers, the Chappaquiddick bike path battle continues.
Goose, geese, and ganders
I applaud last week's editorial advocating a potential park, instead of a commercial development on the Lagoon in Tisbury.
Bring back the bird feeder
To the Editor:This is a note to the thieves who made off with our bird feeders.
She won’t drive again
I have just recovered from my first and last automobile accident that was my fault, while driving at 90 and a half years old with perfect eyesight, after driving thousands of miles in four states (Florida, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey) and since 1995 full-time on Martha's Vineyard.
Unsung heroes, now sung
The Council On Aging in Oak Bluffs is fortunate to have Rose Cogliano and Susan Von Steiger on board.
The books are flowing in
To the Editor:As a member of the Library Friends of Oak Bluffs, I'd like to thank The Times and Megan Alley for posting our call for used books in recent Oak Bluffs columns.
Growing costs of wind energy plan
The articles this week about the Vineyard Power Co-op's site-planning meeting raised two concerns for me.
An alternative, alternative energy source
After living on Martha's Vineyard for more than 20 years, I have come to believe that because we are an island, we have the unique ability and now, a window of opportunity, to become self-sustaining by creating our own electrical power.
Not an endorsement
I sent this letter to Mark London and Paul Foley of the Martha's Vineyard Commission and to Sam Dunn, the developer.
Shellfishermen provide a valuable service
To the Editor:The article entitled "Oak Bluffs shellfishermen air gripes, reap rewards" (May 6) perhaps missed the point.
Cafe Moxie on hold
Disappointing to say the least, but 48 Main Street in Vineyard Haven, the site of Cafe Moxie, is probably losing another season.
