The HyArts Cultural District and Kennedy Legacy Trail were celebrated during an event Tuesday afternoon. The HyArts Cultural District was officially named on May 22nd, and the Kennedy Legacy trail debuted in Hyannis on May 29. Since then, the Trail has been enhanced by the addition of two large photos on the Pearl Street side of Sturgis Charter Public High School and by painted white "sails" on the sidewalks leading the way to each stop. The HyArts Cultural District is the first state designated Cultural District on Cape Cod, and the sixth in the state.

The new gravesite is across the cemetery where there is plenty of room for future burials.
Mary Richardson Kennedy's body was exhumed last week and moved to a new, larger grave site in St. Francis Xavier Cemetery, says a report by the New York Daily News.

Gravedigger Frank Maki told the Daily News that Robert Kennedy wanted her moved to an area where the Kennedy family is now negotiating to buy 50 plots. “He (Robert) didn’t realize how crowded the area was until after the funeral, and he wanted to have the ability to lay his wife to rest among her family members,” …

Judith Morse, of West Tisbury, and another woman were killed, while another sustained minor injuries in an accident this afternoon on the Kennedy property in Aquinnah
Kennedy properties always get a lot of attention. However, curiosity of three women about the Kennedy's Red Gate Farm estate in Aquinnah, Martha's Vineyard ended in tragedy. Two women were killed, and another injured in a car accident on the property yesterday afternoon. A preliminary investigation by State Police Sgt. Thomas Medeiros into the double motor vehicle fatality on the private property, where a third victim suffered minor injuries, indicates that Judith Morse, 70, of West Tisbury, was backing her 2000 Land Cruiser down a private driveway when she struck a tree. She then attempted to drive forward when the vehicle struck an electrical box, a porch attached to a garage, and then traveled up a hill striking a tree head on. …

This is a sad case that seems to bring about some questions. Much more goes into the investigation process during a car crash than simply speculation. Everyone should be aware that attorneys will inspect all areas of an accident. Many things go unnoticed without further investigation.
