Healing Prayer

Scallops: A New England Coastal Cookbook, by Elaine Tammi and Karin A. Tammi, Pelican Publishing Co., Gretna, Louisiana, 350 pages, color photographs and illustrations, $39.95.
With fresh bay scallops being landed at Vineyard docks it is time to think about favorite recipes. Earlier this year Pelican Publishing came out with a cookbook and compendium of stories about both the coastal bay scallop and the deep sea scallop. The Vineyard is in the book, though not named often enough.

Edgartown
Like each sea captain’s home must be surrounded
by the white picket fence of a whale’s jaw full of teeth
over which morning glory vines grow like scrimshaw.
Like the White Cliffs of Dover must be rebuilt to welcome ships,
where houses stand like blocks of marble on Main Street,
and the glass fan window is a pale British Sunrise of sorts.
On Sunday, Oct. 30, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.. Falmouth Academy will host an information session at the Arbor Inn located at 222 Upper Main street in Edgartown.
At the reception, current parents and students from the Island will join Headmaster David C. Faus and members of the school’s faculty to discuss academics, arts’ electives, sports, and extracurricular school life.
