The ominous, quickening strains that can mean only one thing -
the shark is near and getting nearer - are slated to fill Ocean
Park in Oak Bluffs at an August 5 open-air screening of Jaws.

Netflix, a company that operates a DVD mail rental service, has
applied to the Oak Bluffs Park Commission to show the movie at the park
off Seaview avenue. Admission would be free. The commission was
scheduled to vote on the application last night.

Beach

By MARK ALAN LOVEWELL

Favorable tides may help in the removal of a 71-foot abandoned sea
scalloper that has been stranded on Norton Point Beach for nearly two
weeks, raising concerns about the environmental effects both on the
beach and on the coastal birds nesting nearby.

The New Bedford vessel Midnight Rider could be removed as early as
Thursday, with officials looking at astronomical high tides this week to

Who Will Take the Baton Next: One Boomer Ponders Future

By IAN FEIN

It took V. Jaime Hamlin almost an hour to get to Edgartown from her
Vineyard Haven home on Wednesday.

And the traffic congestion on this rainy day after the Fourth of
July highlighted one of her primary concerns about the fate of the
Island. She worries that the Vineyard is becoming too popular for its
own good.

The word on the street was no throwing candy. This year, citing
safety reasons, volunteers at the Fourth of July parade in Edgartown
would instead walk alongside the floats handing out candy. Despite the
new rule, children and their parents appeared unfazed on Tuesday
afternoon as they began lining up to celebrate the country's 230th
birthday.

Sunday's moped accident that claimed the life of a 41-year-old
New York city woman has reopened old wounds for Islanders who want to
see stronger safety standards for the two-wheeled vehicles, and others
who want them banned from the Vineyard altogether.

youths and adults with cerebral palsy.
