Johnny “Doc” Herrick Catches A Triggerfish
We don’t see these too often. About once or twice a year. Dave Jewell caught one a year or two ago and we got some video for you below.
This picture was taken by FOB Joey Ciolino when Joey and Frank Ciolino paid a visit to the dock yesterday afternoon.
Here is the post from August 9,2009 with the Triggerfish that Aaron on the Lady Margaret caught. Obviously it’s the warmer waters that bring these unusual fish up off our coast.

Goings-on on Bearskin Neck From John & Ann Marie Kershaw
John & Ann Marie Kershaw write-
We strolled down Bearskin Neck this evening a short while after sunset, with the first stars coming out, & found the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club in session. In the little circle at the far end they had set up an impressive array of optical equipment & were offering a look at the heavens to all who came by.
It was a dream of ours since childhood to look through a real telescope, and so tonight we did! They showed us a double star (Vega?), part of the Summer Triangle of stars.
The club members we talked to were most friendly & helpful, & so we said “Are you on Good Morning Gloucester yet?” They said “No”, so we said “Look ’em up & you should be on”. We were given their card, which says:
postmaster@gaac.us and: http://www.gaac.us
So here was yet another fine group of people doing what they know best to do on Cape Ann.
GMG knows & presents so much good info that we may well have missed your coverage, but anyway, we thought they deserved another plug for their open friendly hospitality under the stars.
Blessings & Peace from
John & Ann Marie Kershaw

Linda rae Castagna Writes About The Fisherman’s Memorial Service
My husband Rob and I come as often as possible to visit your wonderful area. Thank you for all your work on GoodMorningGloucester – it keeps up up to date. Yesterday we visited the Fisherman’s Memorial Service, thanks to your mention of it. Thought you might want a couple of pictures from the experience and separately I will send the video from my iPhone. Very moving service for two people who realize that it is because of these hardworking men that we have our favorite seafood whenever we want it. Very humbling, to say the least. Linda and Rob Castagna

You Can’t Mix Residential And Marine Industry- PHOOEYYYY!
Our Grandfather bought this property back in 1953 from the Gorton’s company and my cousin Frank and I bought it from our fathers six years ago. During that entire time we’ve been surrounded by houses that are directly in front of our dock and on both sides of our dock there are recreational boat marinas. You would think by listening to the anti-development, put up roadblocks to any progress crowd that a holy war would ensue if you ever mixed the two components but in reality it has been going on way before there was the ridiculous zoning that is in place now. We’ve been peacefully coexisting with our awesome neighbors for decades. Yes through starting up our diesel trucks early in the morning to go pick up bait or make deliveries, yes through the odors and smells that are inherent in the fishing industry, yes through years and years of sights, sounds and smells of heavy industry. People move here I believe because they love it and embrace it.
So the folks that tell you it could never co-exist to have tourism and commercial fishing side by side, call bullshit on them.
Our dock isn’t the only place where commercial boats and recreational boats and housing and industry are side by side- look at the Rocky Neck Railways and dockage situation down there- commercial boats and the highest density of tourism in our city basically on top of each other.
Beacon Marine Decades long of housing and marina space with cranes and a boat yard coexisting with an new Media Ad agency –Bait and Tackle all on the same property.

North of Boston Arts Center Open House September 2
Beverly Farms, MA – The North of Boston Arts Center (NOBAC) will be hosting their first open house on September 2 from 5-7 pm at the Hastings House in Beverly Farms. This event will be held in conjunction with Hastings House members and will give parents, families and prospective members a chance to meet with the NOBAC and Hastings House staff and board. Attendees can also learn about this Fall’s schedule of art, music, theater and cooking classes; tour the Hastings House facilities; and enjoy refreshments as they mingle.
NOBAC after school arts classes are available at the Hastings House on Monday-Thursday from 4-6 pm for children ages 5-13, beginning September 7th. In addition to the after school arts program, NOBAC also puts on two musical productions every year in the Spring and the Fall. This Fall’s production is The Tale of the Oysta: a seafaring Whoops, which was written entirely by students in Henry Allen’s Playwrights Unite! class this summer, is based on about 20 songs by Cole Porter and George & Ira Gershwin.
This young nonprofit was founded in May of 2008 by Beverly local, Bonnie Rynkowski, with the hopes of giving children a creative outlet and direction in any area of interest – from visual arts and crafts to jazz, opera and organic cooking.
Over the last year, NOBAC has seen a considerable amount of growth with the addition of Manchester-By-The-Sea resident Henry Allen, its artistic director who has directed the shows that NOBAC students perform in the Spring and Fall, and is a member of the core faculty.
Faculty member and local business owner, Jessica Brand, is excited about the growth she has seen at NOBAC over the last year:
“I remember this time last year when we had two or three kids in each class and only a handful of parents getting involved. This year we have seen so many families really get excited about NOBAC and the invaluable experience we’re providing for their kids. We hope that this open house will only help us expand our community and open up more opportunities for us to reach out to local kids who are interested in the arts.”
The Hastings House is located in Beverly Farms across from the Train Station at 14 Oak Street.
For more information on NOBAC and its list of fall classes, visit theNOBAC.org, call NOBAC-8-0033 (662-228-0033), or email info@thenobac.org
