Grand entrance while the other lobby and entrance construction is underway.

The entrance on the other side will be closed (BEFORE reno photo below). Temporarily. Ditto the city’s Albert Bachelor Civil War-era coat which must be safeguarded so it’s not damaged during construction. This textile was used to teach a tangible expression of agency and grit.

Gloucester author in the field: Deborah Cramer on a shorebird story of the century featured in the New York Times #LetsGoDeveaux

“AFTER THE 2014 DISCOVERY, Ms. Sanders returned to the bank again and again over the next few years. She determined that when twilight and spring’s highest tides coincided, whimbrels began arriving on the island en masse. In May 2019, she assembled a team to count the birds. They began late one afternoon as the sun was setting. Long lines of whimbrels streamed onto Deveaux, the flocks extending as far up the river and south over the ocean as they could see. When darkness halted their work, they still heard the murmuring calls and rustling wings of incoming birds. On a night when a clear sky and a nearly full moon bathed the island in light, they counted 20,000 birds — half of the entire Atlantic population.
To understand why so many whimbrels gather on Deveaux and what makes the island vital to their migration, the scientists needed to know where the birds went during the day and how they used the island at night.’

Bocce Ball
I love the boulevard for so many reasons and we should all be super appreciative to those who take such good care of it. One of its treasures are the bocce ball courts! Sunday was both Father’s Day and Finn’s birthday. After breakfast at the Mile Marker we played a few games of bocce and then went out for ice cream.

Drive to Remember Rally Held by Lyon Waugh Group
The Lyon Waugh Auto Group sponsored a Drive to Remember Rally on Monday June 21 as a fund raiser for the Alzheimer’s Association and the rally ended with a picnic at Stage Fort Park. By all indications, the rally was a great success giving drivers the opportunity to participate and showcase their vehicles. Even so, it’s never too late to donate. Thank you Warren Waugh and Cidalia Schwartz for your unending efforts on behalf of Alzheimer’s families and caretakers. We saw quite a few familiar faces in the crowd!

Sawyer Free Library’s “Technology on the Horizon” series to host Patrick Flanagan, founder of OceanLab
On Monday, June 28, 6:30-8pm, the SAWYER FREE LIBRARY will present the second talk in their informative series “TECHNOLOGY ON THE HORIZON,” which spotlights individuals and organizations on the North Shore working with critical or emerging technologies.
Most of the ocean is remote, deep, dark, cold, and extremely high pressure. So how do we help more people explore it?
Join PATRICK FLANAGAN, founder and director of OceanLab, in a virtual discussion of technologies that make exploration of the ocean more accessible to all. Learn about the evolution of technologies that allow organizations like OceanLab dive deep into deepest depths of our oceans.

A message From Tim Sanborn from Cazeault Solar and Home-

We hope you are well and that you are finding some normalcy in your lives.
2020 and 2021 has been an incredibly challenging year for each of us. And perhaps one of the few celebrations we received, was to AGAIN be nominated as the Best Of North Shore (BONS) Solar Contractor for a 3rd consecutive year.
This year’s nomination is very special as it comes during an incredible 18 months of challenges for you and our team.
Over the past 18 months the Cazeault Solar & Home team endured and worked through challenges of Utility delays, remote workings of distributors and utilities, searching for products beyond normal channels, holding back on some of the 4 price increases from manufacturers so we did not have to pass them onto our clients, and so many more challenges.
The Cazeault Solar & Home team never complained – never gave up- and in most all cases kept our clients sheltered from these concerns and issues.
To win the People’s Choice award for Best of North Shore (BONS) would be a great recognition for the team at Cazeault Solar & Home. In this light, we would appreciate your vote.
To vote for THEM! Please use the link below to cast your vote. I thank you and our team thanks you.

Thank you for your response. ✨
