Duane B. Dillard, 70, of Hagerstown, Md., on Feb. 2 admitted to sufficient facts on a charge of assault and battery to intimidate, and the case was continued without a finding in Edgartown district court.

On a recent Monday morning, visiting nurse Kristine Cammorata attended to Marcia MacGillivray at her home in Vineyard Haven to check on a melanoma recently removed from her shin. Mrs. MacGillivray had called the Vineyard Nursing Association (VNA) the previous weekend because she thought the wound was looking too red and puffy.

“See how it’s bleeding? Bleeding is good, that means it’s nice and healthy tissue,” Ms. Cammorata told her patient. Ms. Cammorata has been visiting Mrs. MacGillivray a few times a week to help with the wound.
