I think two different people sent this in, JP from Rockport and Vicki Gamage. Not sure if they saw it on the same site or not or if they both just happened to run across it on youtube. If they saw it someplace on another site let me know and I’ll credit them.

Public Winter Lecture Series At Maritime Gloucester Looking For Speaker Recommendations
Joey,
Happy New Year. As we finalize our public winter lecture series at Maritime Gloucester, I was hoping that I could use your community blog to ask viewers about potential speakers. Specifically, I am interested in hosting a series called “Welcome Back” where men and women who grew up on Cape Ann but no longer live here — and have pursued successful maritime, oceanography, fishing or marine sciences careers – would be asked to come back and speak at Maritime Gloucester. GMG Viewers and readers, please send your recommendations to Tom Balf at tbalf@maritimegloucester.org Thanks to all in advance.

New Torah for Temple Ahavat Achim
On December 17, 2007, when Temple Ahavat Achim burned to the ground, all religious objects, including the Temple’s torah scrolls, were lost. The Temple, having now been rebuilt, has begun the process of having a new torah hand printed in the ancient tradition.
Rabbi Yochanan Salazar is a master sofer, or scribe, who today oversaw the  Hebrew inscription of a  portion of the new torah by members of the congregation. Participation in the  process is a moral deed performed as a religious duty.
Summer residents of Gloucester (and year round visitors) Jane Paznik-Bondarin and Andrew Karlin added a letter under the watchful eye and guidance of Rabbi Salazar, starting with a ritual hand washing and ending with the award of a certificate commemorating the event.

About the Rocky Neck Art Colony
The crown jewel of Gloucester’s harbor community, Rocky Neck is a peninsula surrounding Smith Cove.
It is home to mostly year-round residents and has a thriving summertime population of artists, art galleries
and restaurants, and the Rocky Neck Art Colony, one of the oldest working art colonies in the United States and a 501(c)3 arts organization since 1973. Rocky Neck recently became one of the first five “Designated Massachusetts Cultural Districts” in the state of Massachusetts; this designation denotes past traditions and contemporary vibrancy along with the area’s orientation towards a local creative economy. The mission of the Rocky Neck Art Colony is to nurture excellence in the visual arts and to celebrate the artistic culture of Rocky Neck and the entire Cultural District.
Local Cape Ann buses and seasonal trolleys serve the area and the Gloucester Harbor Water Shuttle makes it easy to visit East Gloucester by water.
The Rocky Neck Art Colony has a noteworthy past; almost every American artist of note has painted on Rocky Neck at some point in his or her career – Milton Avery, Bernard Chaet, Stuart Davis, Marsden Hartley, Mark Rothko, Cecilia Beaux, Fern Coppedge, Adolph Gottleib, Childe Hassam, Emile Gruppe, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Fitz Henry Lane, Frederick Mulhaupt, John Sloan and others.

Friends of Seacoast Chatter From Tommy Lattoff
Joey:
Friends of Seacoast Chatter:
While passing out cashmere scarf’s for 132 residents at Seacoast Nursing Home for Christmas last week compliments of the Friends of Seacoast, A nurse asked me if we could buy a computer for the residents. It seems some of them wish to communicate with their grandchildren.
I spoke with our Administrator and offered to fund the project and was told, they would look into it. I am pleased to say that they found this to be a great idea and will be installing a wireless network to accommodate 3 Laptop computers.
This is all made possible by the generosity of the many people who continue to donate to the Friend of Seacoast.
Now how cool is that.

Brian Carlson Represents! in Turks and Caicos
Hey Joey,
Was that you on the flight from Boston to TCI behind those Foster Grants? Brian and I rented a scooter and drove to Long Beach where all the kite surfers hang out. Since we didn’t have our own gear, Brian (being the good ex Gloucester Coast Guard guy that he is)
Improvised with, you guessed it, his GMG t shirt.
We bought Red Snapper from some fisherman working off the back of a red pick up truck (note: he did come recommended by manager of Horse Eye Jack’s, great place next to Da Conch Shack). Cooked it on our grill and It was delish,
As Buffett would say, “The Weather is Here, I Wish You Were Beautiful” – wait, you are Beautiful (or at least the Mrs. Is).
Brian says, “Keep the dry side up, and the wet side down.” I think that means don’t flip your boat over.
Signing off from Paradise,
Cindy H.
