Community Stuff 11/17/12
When: November 28, at 7:30 PM
What: The Gloucester Writers Center and the Bookstore of Gloucester present journalist, author, and Gloucester resident George Rosen as he reads from his new book, “The Immanence of God in the Tropics,” tales of soccer, death, hot water, lost love, and the presence of God in Africa, Mexico, and the coast of New England.
Where:
The Harbor Room, located 8 Norwood Court in East Gloucester, MA.
Who: Chicago-born, Harvard-educated, George Rosen, now lives in Gloucester, MA. As a journalist, he has reported on West Africa and Mexico, writes frequently for the Boston Globe’s op-ed page, has done radio commentary for WBUR, and worked as a political speechwriter. Rosen’s novel, Black Money, was called by Publishers Weekly “a strong study of power that corrupts, and idealism that persists.” His short stories have appeared in Harper’s, the Yale Review, and the Harvard Review. He has received the Frank O’Connor Memorial Award and fellowships from the Artists Foundation and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Edith Pearlman, winner of the 2011 National Book Critics Circle Award in Fiction, has this to say of Rosen’s new collection; “The stories in George Rosen’s collection take place in unlikely sites under unsure conditions; they treat with respect odd people – a man somewhere between a bum and a crazy, another who’s afraid of words, a reticent couple who practice reckless abandon. The unadorned sentences often reach a conclusion whose truth makes you catch your breath. This unpretentious book is the work of a master.”
The Gloucester Writers Center was founded to celebrate, preserve, and promote Gloucester’s rich literary legacy and to create space in the community for the voices of people of all ages and backgrounds to be heard through writing, dialogue, and the artistic process.

Joey C Public Service Announcement To People Who Walk or Bike Outdoors At Night:
There is less light in the fall. Duh Obvi, right? The daylight is short and I’d just like to highlight a point that people with perfect vision may not realize-
If you are walking at night or riding a bike at night there are a shit-ton of people who can’t see you in the dark.
They don’t want to run your ass over so please wear light colored clothing or even better- wear clothing with some type of reflective properties in it.
As I get older I notice it’s tougher and tougher to see these people and they just sort of jump out at you when you are almost on top of them when driving at night if they are wearing dark clothing.
No one wants to run someone over, it makes for a sucky day. So keep it in mind next time you’re heading out for a healthy stroll or bike ride at night time.
Thank You.
Joey C

1939 Aerial Photo—Magnolia From George Krewson
Hi Joey,
Thought the aerial picture attached of a portion of Magnolia might be of interest. It was taken from a seaplane owned by La Touraine Coffee
that would visit the area during the summer, landing in Gloucester Harbor and taking people up to have a view of the area. Dad asked to have a picture taken of the Oceanside. Note the North Shore Inn to the left, which accommodated summer visitors who weren’t able to secure rooms at the Oceanside.

More Snapshots from Savour Wine and Cheese Grand Opening
See yesterday’s GMG post for the full story
GMG’s Father Green, a happy customer! Doesn’t he look Parisian, with beret, camera, and wine in hand?
Last night was the grand opening of Savour Wine and Cheese at their new location, 76 Prospect Street (the old Connors drugstore). A wonderful array of wine and beer was served; the wine was dispensed from state of the art “buy before you try” machines, and the appetizers and select cheeses, beyond divine.
Some of the talented people who made last night’s opening a great success

Congrats To Brittany Collens Manchester Athletic Club Tennis Phenom For Getting A Scholarship To New Mexico State

ME tennis star Collens commits to New Mexico St. University
By Conor Walsh Correspondent
Brittany Collens earned it, there’s no denying that.
After deciding to focus much of her adolescence to tennis, the senior at Manchester Essex went all in, leaving the Hornets’ program after her freshman year to devote endless hours to her training at the Manchester Athletic Club.
I’m a huge fan of The Manchester Athletic Club and grew up playing tennis there.
The program now compared to when I was there has taken off to a whole new level pumping out tennis scholarship athletes yearly.
