Young drivers on Martha’s Vineyard would benefit by having a traffic light to negotiate. Traffic lights are a mainland reality, and we should make sure our children are prepared to encounter them. I always thought that the blinker intersection would be a great place for a traffic light, but it looks like a roundabout is going in there. Could we consider installing a light at the intersection of State Road and Edgartown Road in Vineyard Haven? No one seems happy with that intersection.

This past Memorial Day commemorated the 20th year of our Avenue of Flags at Oak Grove Cemetery in Tisbury. We started with 50 flags; we now proudly fly 425. Each flag represents a male or female veteran who served in the military, living or deceased. These flags are raised and taken down each Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Veterans Day by a group of dedicated volunteers. The time has taken its toll and we will need to start to replace some of these flags.

I was filled with deep joy and appreciation when I read the article Students Lead Conversation On Race, Diversity, Tolerance in your May 25 edition. Discussing issues of race, diversity and tolerance in an open and caring way allows for healing the wounds caused by race and other forms of discrimination, oppression and exclusion, and develops empathy.

Remember the Citizens United resolution at spring town meetings? In all six towns, we voted to support Massachusetts Senate Bill 772, restoring free speech. It calls for the U.S. Congress to move to amend the U.S. Constitution to affirm that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.

How did a good faith effort on the part of a committed group of dog owners to work with the town of West Tisbury to keep Lambert’s Cove Beach clean and safe morph into a proposal for a year-round, townwide leash law? I am a member of that group — the Friends of Lambert’s Cove Beach — and I ask myself that question every day.

What an amazing job everyone did to beautify the Triangle in Edgartown! I am very fortunate to live in the beautiful little town of Edgartown and I adore it. What an amazingly beautiful welcome for all our visitors. Joe’s sign is absolutely gorgeous and all the plantings are breathtaking.
