Kids and Medication
On Thursday, April 7 Martha’s Vineyard Community Services will host a talk entitled Medication and Kids: How Do We Decide?
The talk is designed to answer some of the many questions concerning this issue including worries over giving medications to a child and what to do if someone tells you your child needs to be on medication because they are overactive or aggressive.
The talk will be given by Dr. Dominic Maxwell who has been with MVCS since 2009.
The sailing season is still months away and plans are now under way for the Vineyard Cup, a three-day regatta. Organizers plan a larger and more high profile event, one that is easier to view. Last year the weekend racing attracted more than 80 sailboats and this year the numbers could exceed 100.
Racing takes place Friday, July 16 and runs through Sunday, July 17. Sailboats of all sizes will be competing for prizes and at least one is coming from as far away as Florida.

For those who love to eat fresh bay scallops harvested from Island ponds, they won’t be available in fish markets for long. The fishery closed yesterday.
Shellfish constables report it was a fair season, with Edgartown doing the best. More than 100 commercial bay scallopers across the Island were able to make a decent day’s pay since the season began back in the fall. Only one or two fishermen were out working the ponds in each of the towns by the season’s end, though.
