Essex Shipbuilding Museum’s flagship schooner Lewis H. Story will be the focus of attention at a Mount Desert Island, Maine celebration

The Essex Shipbuilding Museum’s flagship schooner Lewis H. Story will be the focus of attention at a Mount Desert Island, Maine celebration.
In July a Mount Desert Island Historical Society crew will come to Massachusetts and sail the Lewis H. Story from Gloucester to Mount Desert Island, Maine. The Harold Burnham designed Lewis H. Story is a replica of a Chebacco type boat, the kind of vessel used by the first colonial settlers to come to Mount Desert Island. The Island Historical Society will be inviting the community to come aboard the boat the week of July 15 to 21 for day sails and other fun events. -Photo Len Burgess

Fish on Fridays

Posted on by Marty Luster

The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.

This is a somber week on the waterfront. There was no last minute reprieve from the quota cutbacks that took effect on May 1, which, when combined with the catch share management system, has put many small Gloucester fishermen on the brink of extinction.

Naz Sanfilippo, owner of f/v Cat Eyes, has been fishing for 47 years, since he was 8 years old. Naz tells us it looks like that is all over. The cod cutbacks are so stringent, he says, he can exhaust his entire quota in one haul.

Peter is forced to take greater risks and fish in January and February to get winter’s higher prices. He questions whether the cold, wind and rough seas are worth the slightly higher income.

Artists Work Spaces: Eileen Oliver

Posted on by capeannpainter

Hi Paul;

You featured my little studio space last year when I was living in Rockport. We moved to Bayview in Gloucester last September and I have been painting more than ever since I’ve been here. I’m walking distance from Plum Cove beach and Lanesville and both my husband, Jim, and I (he’s also an artist) have been doing some of our best work. Here are some pictures of my work space.

I have a website through Fine Art America..

Family Promise North Shore opening ceremony

Posted on by Matthew Green

Beverly Mayor Bill Scanlon was at the newly established center for Family Promise North Shore to cut the ribbon together with FPNS’s Network Director, Elise Sinagra, yesterday evening:

 

Family Promise North Shore serves homeless families with children, providing a day shelter with all the essentials, and overnight sleeping quarters in conjunction with houses of worship in the region.  Family Promise is a national model for helping homeless families live with dignity and find permanent housing solutions.

I will have a slideshow of the event and the facility tomorrow.

Thanks Linn Parisi for submitting the story. I’m sure Paul Morrison is sitting in his lab scratching his chin and bellowing out an insidious Dr Evil-like laugh as he reads this post.

Snoop Maddie Mad Is 250th Percentile For Loving Soccer

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Running joke in our house is that our kids are 250th percentile at this or that.  A joke making fun of obnoxious parents that claim their kids are this percentile or that percentile at some skill set.  You’re only supposed to be able to go up to 100% but I like to say back to those folks when they say their kid is 85th percentile at something that my kid is 250th percentile and stare back at the quizzical looks on their faces.

Snoop Mad is 250th percentile at loving soccer.  And that’s a higher percentile than your kid.  Deal with it.

The whole paying attention during practice part maybe negative 250th percentile.  Like when she was tending the net as the goalie and giving me the thumbs up on the sidelines when another six year old drilled a shot right past her for a goal.  Oopsies.

and would you look at those rags we’ve got her in?  She looks like a homeless soccer kid. Her parents get a negative 300th percentile for rolling their kid out in that get-up. Need to go to the sporting goods store stat and pick up some umbro soccer shorts.
