Sinikka Nogelo, a Gloucester artist, was a familiar face on Cape Ann Television until her retirement last summer. This year she’s returned to sharing work in her first medium – paint. Sinikka uses natural elements and personal symbols in the abstract expression of surroundings, thoughts and feelings. The works she will exhibit at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery encompass a “year of re-discovery.”
A graduate of Tufts University, Sinikka studied art at the Silvermine Guild in CT; the Museum School, Boston; Rockport Art Association; and Montserrat School of Art in Beverly, MA. She was a founding member of the women artists’ cooperative, Center and Main, located at that Gloucester corner until the mid-1980s. During her years on television she produced many arts specials and interviewed people working in all aspects of the arts.
Sinikka’s exhibit will run from August 19-September 1 with an opening reception on Saturday, August 20th from 5:00-7:30pm at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery, 77 Rocky Neck Ave., G3 on Madfish Wharf in the historic Rocky Neck Art Colony.

Thank You Team!!!!!
YOU ALL EARNED THIS NOMINATION!!!
Today’s sunrise was even prettier but I needed to get a full smoker of bluefish so I was busy catching the last one today. Possible secret ingredient to my deviled eggs.
Just moments after the photo was taken I was wrestling a bluefish amongst the barnicles. Bag Balm is a lovely ointment.
Fun Fact: Halifax, Nova Scotia is directly lined up with sunrise today.

This is a vintage early 70′s Phillips 3-speed cruiser. 20 inch frame fits roughly 5’2″-5’7. Made in England. Just tuned up and ready to ride, all three gears work well, Sturmey Archer hub was just oiled. Surface rust but nothing structural – mostly on the chainguard and fenders. This would be a awesome city bike to pick your groceries up in or commute to work or college, and I actually have a few handlebar baskets for pretty cheap if that’s your thing. This is a sweet ride. All it needs is like, some flowers and a small kitten with goggles and a scarf in a basket.
See us at the Cape Ann Farmers Market today at Stage Fort Park. 3pm-6:30pm

If you miss online registration, however, McGillivray says late registration will be held Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the same time as bib pick up at Gloucester High School. Although not encouraged, bib pick-up and late registration will also be held race day from 6 to 7:45 a.m. at the high school. Online registration is $35, late registration is $40.
New this year, a Road Runner Club of America Expo with vendors will be held Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Proceeds from the Run Gloucester! 7-Mile (www.rungloucester.com) will benefit the Gloucester Fishermen Athletic Association which raises funds for Gloucester High School student-athletes, sports programs and facilities, and is a key supporter of the renovation of Gloucester High’s Newell Stadium.
Founded by McGillivray in 1981, DMSE Sports, Inc. is a leader in sports event management, specializing in creating, marketing and producing mass participatory athletic events throughout the U.S. and abroad.

Uhm Sean, I’m pretty sure they get inside the cage before they lower you down to film for Shark Week.
I guess this is the best we can do on our limited production budget so let ‘er rip boys!
Brownies anyone?

Hi Joey,
Thought a lot of people might relate to how this mushroom farm has suddenly shot up in the mulch pile in my backyard. Enough already!
