Lyme Disease

A petition to support reform in the treatment of Lyme disease and more adequate testing protocols is at the West Tisbury Public Library. The deadline for signatures is Sunday, Oct. 31.

The petition also highlights the need to support a chronic Lyme disease training program for doctors on the Island. Lyme patients should not have to travel to receive proper treatment.

Promising to enable women to gain financial freedom, find creative fulfillment and enjoy better relationships, Island personal trainer Kimberly Cartwright has created Spiritual Cycling.

This eight-week indoor cycling class for women uses meditation, breath play and guided imagery inspired by renowned psychotherapist Belleruth Naparstek.

It must be tough to pick a name for your second solo cookbook when the first one refers to raising the bar, as in Catherine Walthers's 2007 book, Raising the Salad Bar.
