It is coming up fast, the 2013 Rocky Neck Beaux Arts Ball. This year the theme is recycled, repurposed, revived. Put on your creative thinking cap and come up with a fun, unique costume (plastic bags, newspapers, empty cans or bottles, fish net, a recreated second hand outfit – like our poster model Katharine Worth created and is wearing – from Bananas, Second Glance, Madcap Style or any of our many vintage, second hand and thrift shops, etc.). Have fun with your costume, and then come and have fun at the Beaux Arts Ball at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center on Saturday, August 3rd from 6-10:00 pm.

Detailed Information:
The Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church is pleased to announce the second in a series called Music & Meditation in the Meetinghouse (MMM) that offers Cape Ann residents and visitors a unique and varied experience of beautiful music and relaxing meditation in the Gloucester’s oldest standing church. It is held in the candle-lit, early-evening setting of the church’s 1806 Sanctuary with golden light beaming through the stained glass windows. Lanesville’s Mindfulness Meditation practitioner Dr. Michael Bresnan will team up with the Dorymates, Tony Hilliard and Janet Ruth Young, presenting a combination of meditation and heartfelt music for guitar and voice.
Following the event there is a collation with light refreshments in the church’s Entrance House, giving participants the opportunity to meet the leaders and each other in a convivial atmosphere. The Sanctuary is accessible for persons with disabilities via the Church Street Entrance. A free-will offering will be received and everyone is welcome.
Meditation Description:
Mindfulness has its roots in Buddhist meditative practice, and involves bringing one’s attention to subjective present moment experience without judgment – without deciding whether it is “good” or “bad.” It means coming out of the world of conceptual thought in which we tend to spend most of our lives and connecting once again with the actuality of our life in the moment. By opening to experience just as it is, we create the space for life to unfold in a very different way. This practice has been the focus of a tremendous amount of scholarly research in recent years, with numerous studies demonstrating profound improvements in physiological and psychological health, even over short periods of practice.
Dr. Bresnan, whose practice is newly established in Lanesville, will lead the group through an introductory experience in mindfulness meditation. The mindfulness meditation will serve as an invitation for attendees to connect in a more vivid way to the musical portion of the program.
The Dorymates:
Singer and guitarist Tony Hilliard and his wife Janet Ruth Young perform duets of ballads and soulful music in haunting harmonies. Their love for each other and for humanity is evident in the lyrics and songs they present. Tony works as an EMT with persons in assisted living and Janet is an author and speaker on chronic depression and related psychological impairments. They are active in social justice issues on the North Shore and are members of the Gloucester UU Church.

Hello, my name is Chenzy, I am a one-year-old girl pup who is Australian Kelpie/mix. I am so happy to be on GoodMorningGloucester! I am staying at the Cape Ann Animal Aid located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane in Gloucester until I am adopted. I love to walk, romp in the park and I just love company. Like most pups, I am eager to learn and I love treats and toys. I am a perfect apartment size pup, I think I am fully grown at 24-pounds.
The Cape Ann Animal Aid has so many things going on. “Dog Day”will be held on September 15 at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester. Craft & Vendor Fair, doggy games, children’s activities, raffles, prizes, doggy agility course, nail trimming, micro-chipping, photo opportunities, food, refreshments and lots of fun! The Third Annual Christopher Cutler Rich Golf Tournamentwill be held on September 23 at Bass Rocks Golf Club and don’t forget that during the months of July and August (Sundays 1-3 p.m.), we are acceptingreturnable bottles and cansfor our Transportation Fund.
Oh! I should tell you – it is perfectly okay to bring in cat and dog toys for shelter pets. If you call ahead, I will meet you at the front door with open paws!

After four rounds it looked like Captain Hooks Had It In The Bag But in the Final Taste Round (accounting for 40% of the scores) Destinos Pulled Out A Dramatic Come From Behind Win.
We had Bex, Chris DeWolfe, Kim Smith and Brianmoc go in for the sub pick-ups last night. Brought the subs in and weighed and recorded the weights and sequestered the judges in a separate room while we marked each sub Sub A, Sub B, Sub C and Sub D to insure no bias and a blind tasting.
Judges Ed Collard, Chris DeWolfe, Brian O’Connor and Craig Kimberley took their judging duty very seriously. The one part I would say would not be a fair comparison is Cape Ann brewing based on price since their price includes fries, slaw and a pickle. However even if you threw the value category out Cape Ann Brewing would have come in last.
Captain Hooks wins People Choice with far and away most number of nominations.
Overall Best Gloucester Steak Bomb Challenge winner Based on Value, Taste, Packaging, Lack of Sogginess and Equal Distribution of Meat is Destinos.
Once again it was noted by all four judges that each one of these subs was a winner. To be nominated out of all the incredible sub shops in Gloucester is in itself a testament to how great each one of these Steak Bombs are and Cape Ann Brewing, Captain Hooks, Leonardos and Destinos all deserve accolades
Thanks To Mamie’s Kitchen for providing a neutral stage for judging. Thanks to our sub picker uppers. thanks to Kim Smith for filming (look for her awesome video Thursday).
You’d be happy to patronize any of these fine eateries. Today at Mamie’s Kitchen Chris will be serving up his killer Cheese Steak Sub in honor of yesterday’s competition.

Hi Joey I was at Stage Fort Park Sunday afternoon and happened to see this guy trying to parasail by running down the hill into a light wind. He did get off the ground but only briefly.
