My View of Life on the Dock
Hi Joey,
It is that time of year again! Thank you for helping us share the information a few weeks ago. Will you remind GMG readers that The Open Door Autumn Breakfast is Thursday, October 22, from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. at Cruiseport Gloucester? We will kick off the Thanksgiving Food Drive season with this gathering of community spirit and goodwill.
RSVP at info@foodpantry.org by October 21.
Thanks for helping us get the word out!
Niaz Dorry from NAMA gave the audience at the Rockport Harvesfest seafood throwdown a stellar demonstration on how to clean squid. I can’t post all the Instagrams here on GMG but you can go to my Instagram page to see the series.

Squid is very easy to clean and to cook and I love to order it out too. One of our favorite Gloucester restaurants for calamari is the Cape Ann Brew Pub, where it is always fried to crisp perfection and never rubbery from overcooking. Where ever I have tried squid in Rhode Island, they almost always serve it with bright yellow banana peppers. Does anyone know if any of our local restaurants serve squid with banana peppers?
Niaz Dorry is the director of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance. She lives in Gloucester with her dog Hailey. You can read more about her work with NAMA and why Time Magazine named her “Hero for the Planet” on the organization’s website here.

Hi Joey!
Waldorf School at Moraine Farm is one of approximately 20 educational institutions in the country offering this initial screening of Beyond Measure: Rescuing an Overscheduled, Overtested, Underestimated Generation from the director of critically acclaimed Race to Nowhere, Vicki Abeles. The screening is FREE Thursday, October 22 @ 7pm.
All are welcome to witness a positive picture of what’s possible in American education when communities decide they’re ready for change. I was on a conference call with Vicki yesterday and I think she hit it out of the park again. Time Magazine is currently working on a feature piece of this movie. Interviews with internationally-known leaders in education, child development, creativity, motivation and academic equity are supported by real life examples of what’s working for schools all over the country. Change can be driven from the ground up. This important movie shows us how.
Waldorf School at Moraine Farm, 701 Cabot St. (Rt 97), Beverly, MA (near the N. Beverly shopping plaza, off of exit 20A)
If you would share this with your readers it may be of some real benefit.
Thanks!

Happy to beat the traffic, I caught the end of the celebration and was able to get this quick snapshot before the remaining guests headed home.
