Dear Select Board,
I live next door to the cemetery. I love the open space there. No one seems to go through it who is up to no good. I would hate to see you close it off. It is an unnecessary expense, and won't deter invaders who want to get inside even if it's 8' high.
Concentrate instead on beautfying our town. Build a fountain larger than the one on Main St. , with cafes all around, like in Paris, where the people will come. This will add atmosphere that Amherst wants to bring here. Cut down the heavily concentrated sumac that blocks the open views at MT. Pollux, where the apple trees are dying because the town has neglected them. The trees badly need to be pruned and farmed. (I myself have gone up there to cut thorny weeds off the apple trees that choke them). Poison Ivy is prevalent. This is one of the most beautiful areas in Amherst being lost, because you built an underground parking garage that is hardly used, a deterrent to the town's good feeling?
I have more to say but will stop here. Please consider this email a request to NOT build the fence and to concentrate elsewhere where funds are needed more.
