Building a sustainable world
The Vineyard Youth Summit for Sustainable Development was a success — thanks to so many.
A community that cares and acts
It is with a heavy heart and great pride that I write this letter about the tragic bicycle accident last week in Tisbury.
Gratitude abounds
To the Editor:The free Pancake Breakfast on July 3, honoring our Island veterans who sacrificed so much forthe freedom of our country was a big success.
Is a university extension program possible here?
To the Editor:I remember when the Nathan Mayhew Seminars started years ago on the Island, and I was excited about the possibilities.
You should step up
On Tuesday, June 29, I had to drive my husband's truck to work (which I really didn't want to do because he keeps it so immaculate).
Toward bicycle safety
On behalf of the Martha's Vineyard Camp-Meeting Association, I want to thank Chief Blake and the Oak Bluffs Police for providing officers to conduct a Bicycle Safety Clinic held at the campground on Saturday (July 10).
Slaughterhouse needed
History tells us that during the Revolutionary War the crews from British ships took a great number of sheep to slaughter for the meat.
Changing our behavior
We watch with dismay as the scope of the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history unfolds day after day in the Gulf of Mexico.
No timetable to call Hospice
Over dinner conversation with my wife recently, the conversation turned toward the struggle of a friend with cancer.
Hospital cost shift
The residents of the Vineyard have long wondered why we have to wait five to six hours to be seen and treated at the Emergency Room at the Martha's Vineyard Hospital.
A ladder would help
To the Editor,They say the best things in life are free, and jumping off the bridge at State Beach on a warm sunny day is one of those things.
Cyclists endanger others on bridge
On June 15, I was walking over the Lagoon Pond Bridge and was hit from behind by a bicycle.
Our community thanks you
There is a serene easiness amongst the recently completed cluster of homes at Eliakim's Way in West Tisbury.
In response to the POINT advertisement
The full-page POINT advertisement, so prominent on the back page, makes a few good points about the state's plan and raises some questions about wind power that must be addressed for any responsible offshore turbine project.
It’s a matter of our appetite
If BP would stop using oil dispersants — they are horrible biologically.
