Dispensary group loses key members By K.C. MYERS kcmyers@capecodonline November 21, 2013 Some key players in the group applying to open medical marijuana facilities in Bourne, Dennis, Marthas Vineyard and Provincetown are no longer involved, leaving the Cape-tip location in flux. Shawn Nightingale, of Provincetown, has resigned from the Kingsbury Group board of directors, he said Wednesday. Tim McCarthy, who has been a prominent face for the organization in Provincetown and presented himself as the CEO before the Board of Selectmen, said he had been expecting to be on the Kingsbury Groups board of directors but is not. I feel my business style didnt match theirs, he said. Also, former Selectman Irene Rabinowitz has decided not to serve as the Provincetown dispensarys chief operating officer because the extent of the work is more than she imagined, she said Wednesday. And Dr. Brian OMalley, who had applied to serve as the chief medical director, has withdrawn his application, he said. OMalley also removed his offer to put the dispensary in his medical office on Shank Painter Road. But the Kingsbury Group still plans to submit an application in Provincetown and has a signed a lease, J. Bruce MacGregor, a principal with the group, said through a spokesman. He did not name an exact location. The group also is submitting applications in Bourne and Vineyard Haven, according to MacGregor. Nightingale said he and McCarthy have different business philosophies from the other principals in the nonprofit group, which is headed by Mark Wallace of Marthas Vineyard. The loss of McCarthy and Nightingale means the group must reapply to the Provincetown Board of Selectmen for a letter of support, said David Gardner, the assistant town administrator. They need to make a new presentation, Gardner said.
