Hello! Mister is my name! I am a sweet, yet shy fellow looking for the perfect family to take me home. I can be a little unsure when first meeting new people and it may take me some time to feel comfortable around you. Yet once I do, I promise to be the best snuggler you have ever met! I am a little quirky and enjoy hanging out under a blanket or bed, but it’s only because I enjoy being nice and warm. Do you have the space to take a sweet adult kitty like me home? Then stop by and visit with me today! I have FIV, which means my immune system is compromised. With someone to love and care for me, to keep me safe indoors and well fed, I have just as good a chance as the next guy to live a long and happy life. FIV makes me a “Special” adoption. I say special is right because anyone getting to take me home is one lucky human! For information on all the animals available at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter please visit our website: capeannanimalaid.org.

October 14 Meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club
October 2, 2016 ~ Michael Deneen
At this month’s meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club, Friday October 14, 8:00 pm at the Lanesville Community Center, we’re lucky enough to have our very own Mario Motta with a presentation on his latest science project, an investigation of a white dwarf star (WD 1145+017) in Virgo that is orbited by the remains of a disintegrating small planet or asteroid.
This is the star that was thought by some to have an alien mega structure around it, because of its very strange patterns of dimming and brightening. Alas, no aliens that we can see, but the truth is almost as interesting; the star seems to be tearing apart a small planet, leaving multiple small planetesimals and cometary trails in its wake. The destruction of an actual planet is bound to lead to a really enthralling tale, and this one has the benefit of being true.
Mario’s been following and charting this phenomenon, and is going to share the process and the results with us on the 14th. It’s always fun to have GAAC speakers who can report first-hand on actual astronomical events, and our October 2016 meeting will be one of those rare nights. This will be an evening of astronomy, decaf, good snacks and great conversation. Don’t miss this one!
GAAC meets at 8:00 pm on the second Friday of every month except August at the Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan Street in Lanesville. All are welcome; you don’t need any special knowledge to have a great time. There are no dues or fees, and off-street parking is free as well. For more information see the club Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/GAACpage, the website at http://gaac.us, or follow us on Twitter, @GAACster.

Can you describe for someone that doesn’t know, what are the types of things you do as an agent other than the obvious- negotiating contracts?
I’d say there are like a million kids that go to college and they want to be sports agents. Glamorous, right? So there has to be a tremendous amount of competition as an agent getting athletes to sign with you. How do you reach out and let players know that you are available and convince them they should sign with you?
I can’t imagine the amount of pressure you would feel negotiating a contract for an athlete when you come to a crossroad with a team and try to push the line but not lose the deal. Your stress level must be completely out of control.

RUDDY TURNSTONE ON CAPE ANN
Here’s another sweet little migrating feathered friend observed recently on our shores. A bit bigger than the Sanderlings, and not quite as large as the Black-bellied Plovers with which it was feeding, the solitary Ruddy Turnstone’s bright orange short, stocky legs and big feet are what caught my attention. Although its behavior is anything but, the Ruddy Turnstone is anther one of the birds whose plumage appears almost boring compared to its beautiful harlequin patterned summer coat.
Ruddy Turnstone, left, Black-bellied Plover, right
As are Black-bellied Plovers and Red Knots, the Ruddy Turnstone is highly migratory, breeding on the rocky coasts and tundra of the Arctic and spending winters in coastal areas throughout the world. And like members of the plover family, the male’s nest-like scrapes are part of the courtship ritual. I was excited to learn Ruddy Turnstones’s are a member of the plover family (Charadriidae) and thought it would be a great addition to our Piping Plover documentary however, as scientists are want to do, they have reclassified the RT and it is now considered a member of the sandpiper family (Scolopacidae). Oh well.
During the non-breeding season, look for the Ruddy Turnstone on rocky shorelines where it energetically feeds by probing and pecking, seeking aquatic invertebrates and insects at the surface of rocks. I believe Ruddy Turnstones are seen with regularity on the “other” Cape. I wonder how many of our readers see Ruddy Turnstones on Cape Ann, and if so so where, and what time of year? Please share, if you do, the information is wonderfully helpful. Thank you!

All Home Care is NOT Created Equal
More Cape Ann Wellness News-
http://www.capeannwellness.com
People age 65 and over now make up the majority of the population in the United States. We are living longer and the majority of seniors choose to do so in the comfort of home, also referred to as “Aging in Place”. It comes as no surprise that with the senior market growing, businesses geared to seniors are also on the rise, including tremendous growth in the home care industry. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the Senior-Care Business Booms for Franchisers (August 10, 2016).
Businesses competing for the same market share often benefits us as consumers by providing us with more options. Home care doesn’t necessarily follow that rule because it’s not truly an “apples to apples” comparison. Massachusetts and the Federal government DO NOT regulate private home care agencies UNLESS the agency has contract(s) with Elder Services. Agencies, including ABC Home Healthcare Professionals that have these contracts…

Gloucester Dog Park Event – Halloween
Hi Joey,
I just started a Meet-Up group called “Pomeranian People” and our first meet-up will be at the Gloucester Dog Park Halloween Photo Shoot, Costume & Agility Contest. I would appreciate it so much if you could spread the word about the Dog Park event in hopes of support of the dog park, but also anyone who is looking for a Pomeranian clan of friends… LOL.
I felt not many people knew about last years event, and if people are aware in advance I believe the turn out will be awesome. Last year together we raised a lot of money for the Gloucester Dog Park’s Annual Budget, which includes the doggy bags supplied at the park, mowing and maintenance of the grounds- which is always great news for the dogs.
This seriously awesome event is possible, because of the donations businesses and people make. There are winners for the contests and actually great gifts given to those winners. Last Years Prizes included….
GIFT CARDS GRACIOUSLY DONATED BY TD BANK NORTH IN GLOUCESTER.
GIFT BASKET DONATED BY ESSEX PET SHOP & BIRD SUPPLY
GIFT BASKET DONATED BY PETCO IN GLOUCESTER.
GIFT BASKET DONATED BY ANIMAL KRACKERS.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT THIS 2016 EVENT, YOU CAN DO SO ONLINE AT WWW.GLOUCESTERDOGPARK.ORG OR SEND CHECKS TO THE GLOUCESTER FUND, 45 MIDDLE STREET, GLOUCESTER, MA 01930..AND WRITE THE GLOUCESTER DOG PARK IN THE MEMO LINE. THANK YOU!!
Also, If you are a crazy pom person… Please join us here…
