Health Reform Forum
What does health care reform mean for you?
Martha’s Vineyard Community Services will present a community briefing on the new health care legislation on June 25 at 3:30 p.m. at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.
A panel discussion will be moderated by Victor Capoccia, program director for Closing the Addiction Treatment Gap, Open Society Institute. The panel will include:
Every year, the Tisbury Great Pond shoreline comes closer to Wesley Edens’s house. Without a huge stone revetment, he, his engineers and lawyers believe, his home will fall into its water view.
But the West Tisbury conservation commission said no to his plan to armor the shoreline, and so now Mr. Edens, a prominent Wall Street financier, and the town are headed for court.
Sunday was brought to the graduating class of 2010 by the letter G: graduation, giving, getting, good-byes and good luck, all wished upon these students from Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School principal Stephen Nixon, who hoped they would carry the lessons learned at high school with the same enthusiasm as they had those from Sesame Street.
Dean’s List
Maureen Fitzpatrick, of Oak Bluffs, has been named to the dean’s list for the spring term at Champlain College. She is majoring in early childhood/elementary education.
Her favorite subjects are math and science, and when she heads off to Connecticut College in the fall, Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School valedictorian Shaelah Huntington said she plans to study biochemistry with a premed concentration. As a student at the high school, she’s loaded up her schedule with advanced placement and honors courses. But at heart, Ms. Huntington said she’s really a bit of a beach bum.
