Lennie recently passed away at the age of 98 (May 5, 1917 – May 30, 2015), during his 50 years of scouting for the MLB, he found David Cox, see Newspaper clipping from Gloucester Times, stating that while scouting in the New England area. He had come to watch Gloucester’s Frankie Destino and Lynn English’s Johnny Hyde, but found in the midst David Cox.
“This Cox boy is a smooth operator, and looks like he can hit” said Lennie. “He’s a senior, you say? Looks like a good collge prospect to me. Has the arm, the speed and the power. One of the best boys I’ve seen this season”.
David continues to show his passion for sports through his photography of local Gloucester High School Sports, and published here on GoodMorningGloucester. David’s GMG Posts

The Chief’s project has been the subject of national news for about a month now and he’s even been challenged by the district attorney (see this article in the Boston Globe).
But our Chief remains cool as a cucumber.
Just listen to him in this NPR interview from yesterday — especially the part where he says, “We appreciate the district attorney’s comments, but the fact is that the police have always had the discretion to charge or not charge and not just with drugs, with most crimes.”
If you see Chief Campanello, please congratulate him on his vision, compassion, brilliance and cool head.
This is definitely the guy you want protecting our city and helping to heal our drug problem. BRAVO CHIEF!
We knew we were lucky to have Chief Campanello come to Glocuester when he brought the crowd to their feet with his Springsteen version of “Santa Claus is Coming To Town” at the first Cape Ann Winter Solstice in December 2013. Sheila Roberts Orlando captured the moment perfectly in the photo below:

If you don’t do Ebay and like one of the Paintings and there are no bids on it you can contact me at frontiero@hotmail.comand we’ll work something out.
I also have larger paintings 16″x20″ up to 36″x40″, so if you’d like to come take a look at them contact me to set a an appointment.
Hi,
My name is Paul F Frontiero Jr and I’m starting my own “Jackstarter” Campaign.
What’s a “JackStarter” Campaign? There was no such thing until now. (I just made it up)
I am selling some of my Dad’s Paintings on Ebay. The money will go to adopting a needy Jack Russell Terrier.
I’m am stating out the bidding very low so you can enjoy a beautiful painting by my dad for a crazy low cost. You will see paintings this size by other Cape Ann artists for hundreds of dollars more. So Bid and own a beautiful piece of Cape Ann Art by a Great Cape Ann Painter “Paul F Frontiero Sr.”
I’ll ship anywhere in the USA or will hand deliver it to you if you live on Cape Ann.
There’s no obligation to buy, but if your looking for a painting I just wanted you to know what the money will go to.
I will share my experience of adopting a Jack with the GMG readers. I’ll be working with JacksGaloreof western Massachusetts
And I’m sure you’ll she us walking around Stage Fort Park this Summer.
There are a lot of needy “Jack’s” out there that need a forever home.
Our “Blaze” was a sweetheart. We had her for 7 years before she was diagnosed with a collapsed Tracea.
She got me through a lot of hard times. She Passed over the bridge on Feb. 2, 2015.
She almost took down GMG Headquarters at one time. And we miss her so much.
We will be giving a needy Jack Russell a great home to enjoy.
Maybe this one will become the “OFFICIAL DOG OF GMG”
You can check out all the cute Jack Russells and make a donation of any size at;
So Mayor Theken announced that the SeeClickFix App that Sal DiStefano talked about on GloucesterCast 129 (listen here) is live! I went to the City website to find it but there wasn’t any hyperlink, just instructions that it was actually out there and live. Knowing that most people won’t follow through with a web search to go and find it and download it I’ll provide the direct links to download the app. I also produced a screenshot video from my cell phone of just how easy it is to download and use (see below).
First the direct links to get the App fr Android and Apple-

and Mayor Theken’s original press release-
Gloucester will use SeeClickFix to improve quality of life and encourage civic participation
Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken today announced that the City of Gloucester has launched a new program that will allow residents to report quality-of-life issues and request municipal services through an online and mobile interface. Powered by SeeClickFix, the place-based reporting platform allows Gloucester residents to document neighborhood concerns and improvements, ranging from litter or flooding to damaged sidewalks and malfunctioning traffic signals.
“Gloucester is proud to provide the community with an easy-to-use web tool that helps them access services and make positive changes in the community,” said Mayor Romeo Theken.
With the online and mobile reporting platform, residents can report quality-of-life concerns through service request categories via the City of Gloucester website, mobile applications (e.g., iPhone and Android), a Facebook App, and the website SeeClickFix.com. The platform allows Gloucester residents to provide locations, descriptions, and photos of any issue, in real time. Once a resident submits a concern, the platform issues an alert that becomes public information available to any resident. This will allow the City of Gloucester to acknowledge a service request, route it to the proper department and update the request as needed, including after the matter has been resolved.
The platform also allows Gloucester residents to view, comment on, and vote to fix problems that are submitted by their neighbors. Citizens can even create their own “watch areas” to receive notifications about any category of issues in their community and subsequently follow the progress of all related service requests—not just the one they reported. Reports can be submitted and tracked from the City of Gloucester website directly (gloucester-ma.gov.) Residents will also find links to download SeeClickFix mobile applications on the City’s website.

Open division finals, one mile course off Niles beach at 6 pm Monday June 1, 2015 First Dylan and Clayton Morrissey 9:57 Second Jimmy Tarantino and Joe Comminelli 10:08 Third Vito Giacalone and Mike Mitchell 10:10 There was a strong NE breeze and intermittent rain and fog but they raced in the lee of Eastern Point so waves and wind were not bad until way out. The race was close as you can see from the times and the lead changed several times. The Morrisseys will be going to Canada in the end though.

Hi there, my name is Daryl and if you spend a little time with me you will surely see I am a love muffin! I have lived with other cats and enjoy their company so wouldn’t mind a new feline friend or two. I have had some rough times in my past but I am happy to say there are lots of good, kind and loving people out there who help cats like me make our way into new homes. So here I am just waiting to meet my soul mate, do you think it could be you?
Visit the shelter in person or check our website www.capeannanimalaid.org for more information about me and all the other animals waiting for homes.

Many of the features on this grill can be found on the Weber Premium Kettle Grill ($149.) But there were several things that were important to me such as cast iron grates that weren’t available and would cost about $50 alone as an upgrade to the Weber. The Stok also has interchangeable inserts and sells options that you can place in that center spot such as a wok, a veggie tray, a roaster insert and more. I probably won’t use those but the part I do like is that when the center round grate is removed there is a charcoal basket that can stay in place after the charcoal is lit to concentrate the heat in the center. You can also lift the charcoal basket out with the insert removal tool if you would like even distribution of the coals in the bottom of the grill instead of concentrating the coals in the center and cooking the food along the edges using indirect heat.
I ordered a rapidfire chimney to start the coals not realizing that the charcoal basket in the center is built as a removable chimney starter. The chimney will be returned because there’s no need for it so there’s another $15 in savings over the Weber. Starting the charcoal was as easy as placing a couple pieces of newspaper in the bottom of the charcoal basket, placing the charcoal on top and lighting the paper. It ignited and caught first try without any need for lighter fluid or charcoal soaked in lighter fluid. There is also a removable ash canister which slides into a channel under the grill and collects the spent charcoal so it won’t allow it to blow all over the deck or patio.

Don’t get me wrong! I’m totally sure that ABC’s series premiere of The Whispers was probably fascinating at some level last night. I am also absolutely certain that its subject matter totally appeals to many, many people out there, but NOT me! I like to sleep and it is exactly that kind of creepiness that would keep me awake for, like, EVER.
We love to play games with our children. But what happens when someone else starts to play with them too? Someone we don’t know. Can’t see. Can’t hear. In The Whispers, someone — or something — is manipulating the ones we love most to accomplish the unthinkable.
I’d love to hear some feedback from anyone who watched it! And, did you sleep afterwards?

Tuesday June 2 is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. On Tuesday, you can demonstrate your solidarity with those who wish to put a stop to gun violence by wearing orange. Just like St. Patrick’s Day. A little splash of the color will do. And they already make orange beer, even though they call it “amber.”

Father “Jim” Achadinha performed the Holy Spirit Mass, and presided of the crowning Ceremonies of Mr. and Mrs. Jose Diaz Ferreira 2015 ‘Mordomo”.
The Crowning of Individuals symbolizes that All are Equal, rich or poor, man or woman; and through the Holy Spirit are connected directly to God. Everyone has a personal reason to be individually crowned.
My mother each year was crowned on Pentecost and Trinity Sunday, each time a personal one. During my brother’s Vietnam Tour she asked for his safe return, I think for me, it was to stay out of trouble. These posts are made in her and my father’s memories.
SMOKIN’ JIM IS BACK! For all those of you who got to savor the deliciousness that was Smokin Jim’s BBQ on East Main Street, you can now get that good good Smokin Jim lovin’ on at Dog Bar on Tuesday nights!
