Mural: The Blessing of the Fleet
What interests me most of this mural (in a stairwell at St. Ann’s Church) is not the currently-out-of-fashion but historically correct liturgical garb of the presiding prelate (although, as a priest, I find it interesting), but rather the skyline on the shore. I wonder exactly what view of Gloucester this is supposed to represent? It certainly doesn’t match the current skyline, but obviously things have changed over the decades. The other paintings show that the artist paid attention to detail, so I don’t think he just made it up.

- THE RUMORS ARE TRUE. CAPE ANN THEATRE COLLABORATIVE’S PRODUCTION OF NEIL SIMON’S FARCE ‘RUMORS’ STARTS THIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT GORTON THEATRE! 8 PM.
Reserve your tickets on line at www.catcollaborative.org, by telephone at 978.325.3153, or at the door.
Neil Simon, author of ‘The Odd Couple’, ‘Barefoot in the Park’, ‘Plaza Suite’ and many other comedies, crafted this farce carefully, reworking it until was perfect. Campy and colorful, it is the story of a dinner party gone awry. You will be treated to gunshots, lies, misbehavior, and more—the stuff of comedy in all of its forms. Come and enjoy a night at the theatre and have a good laugh.
Below please find our show poster, our cast photo, as well as a picture of Gloucester residents, Lauren Ashly Suchecki getting a final fitting by costume mistress, Heidi Redston-Rideout. Stay tuned this week for more photos from dress rehearsals.

Helping People Carpool to Fishing Rally in DC.
Hi Joey,
I read an article that many Gloucester area fishermen/woman won’t be attending the rally. Hi fuel prices are definitely a factor. I was wondering if you would be willing to share the good word about encouraging people to carpool to the event, or even carpool to the nearest bus in New Bedford. The United We Fish folks created a Ridebuzz Group to encourage people to share rides and gas costs to help them attend the event.
Ridebuzz Rideshare Group for Rally: http://www.ridebuzz.org/events-group/keep-fishermen-fishing-rally-dc-17010.html
Instructions: http://www.ridebuzz.org/node/2119/17010
A little Background: I recently moved back to Gloucester, and am the founder of www.ridebuzz.org. Ridebuzz.org helps people find and share rides using the web -for one-time trips, road-trips, commutes, and events. We encourage people to ride together to save on fuel costs and reduce emissions, and quite possibly make a new friend or travel companion.
Thanks,
Jeff

After 10 wonderful years with the Local Colors Gallery in Gloucester I decided to sell my artwork from my studio located at 162 Granite St.,Rockport, MA 01966 . Friends suggested the name STUDIO 007. I downgraded it to STUDIO 006.5 and established a website with the same name : www.studio006andahalf.com . On Saturday ,March 24 from 1 to 5 pm the studio will be open to all friends and customers to inspect my latest artistic creations.

NASA Launching 5 Rockets in 5 Minutes Early Friday: How to Watch the light show
NASA Launching 5 Rockets in 5 Minutes Early Friday:
How to Watch the light show
From Space.com;
“NASA is once again hoping to launch five rockets in just over five minutes — a space barrage that promises to put on a spectacular midnight light show of luminescent vapor trails above the U.S. East Coast — but only if Mother Nature cooperates.
After a series of delays due to bad weather and a technical glitch, NASA is now aiming to launch the five-rocket barrage Friday (March 23) after weather concerns thwarted earlier attempts this week.
The sky display may puzzle and amaze some unsuspecting observers, so before you call your local news or police, here is why this is happening and when you may see it.”

Did You Know? (Allen Estes)
That in addition to being a great musician and foundation of the Gloucester music scene, Allen Estes is also a painter? You can see him here working his paintbrush at one of the lovely old homes on River Road in Annisquam, while talking music on the phone with Peter VanNess of Gimmesound.
Hope you didn’t get sunburned Allen, you were starting to get a little pink.

Tribute To Amelia’s From Loretta Ligor
Tribute to Amelia’s
After 20 plus years of service, Amelia’s Restaurant has closed. To have known Amelia and Ernie is to know very fine people. They served the freshest of fish and had the cleanest restaurant in town. One day during a terrible snow storm as I was driving home from work in Cambridge, and feeling very sick, I called Amelia’s to order her "wonderful" chicken soup. Unfortunately, the girl indicated that they were out of chicken soup and suggested other soups and chowder…but I HAD to have chicken soup, so I declined. As I was trying to think of another restaurant in town who might serve chicken soup, the phone rang and it was the girl from Amelia’s. She said, "If you can wait about an hour, Amelia will cook you chicken soup." Can you believe it? Of course, I said YES and an hour later I picked up the fresh soup. During the summer, when my friends visited and went fishing, if they caught a fish, Amelia would cook it for them! If I were expecting guests and I needed special dishes, Amelia would make them for me and would open early, just to accommodate my schedule. Needless to say, Amelia and Ernie will be sorely missed….and I (and others) take this opportunity to thank them for service "above and beyond", whenever needed. We shall miss you!!
