James and the Giant Peach Jr. at Gloucester Stage

Posted on by Nichole S.
The Gloucester Stage Youth Program presents Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach Jr.
When young James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers magic crocodile tongues that launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces danger, sharks, and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James’ quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once the big peach lands in the Big Apple.

3-4-56

Posted on by Pat D

Since yesterday was 2-2-22 and I was expecting to see more reference to it in my various feeds, I thought it might be fun to take a look at 3-4-56 as covered by the Gloucester Daily Times. Turns out 3-4-56 was a Sunday, so no paper but as I looked at the next day’s paper, I came across a couple of interesting tidbits I thought you might enjoy. Take a look at the gas prices!

Super Easy Crock Pot Thai Peanut Chicken Thighs

When we had those single digit days just before the storm I had some chicken thighs but I wasn’t about to try to be outdoors manning the grill so I tried chicken thighs in the crock pot (well the crock pot and other things).

First I cooked a pound of bacon for breakfast for the family and left the bacon fat in the pan on the stove.

Then I pat dry all the chicken thighs with paper towels and lightly seasoned them with salt and pepper.

Next tossed them a couple of minutes on each side in the pan of bacon fat to crisp up the skin.

After that I chopped up a couple of cloves of garlic and put the chicken thighs in the bottom of the crock pot and again seasoned with salt pepper and tossed in teh garlic and then covered with store bought Thai Peanut sauce.

Eligibility Forms for the 2022 Round of Community Preservation Act Funding are Now Available

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

These funds are available for Open Space, Historic Resources, Recreational Land and Community Housing 

The City of Gloucester is now accepting applications for the 2022 Community Preservation Act (CPA)  round of funding. Eligibility forms must be submitted by March 8, with full applications due May 3.  

Eligibility forms and more information can be found online at the City’s website:  https://gloucester-ma.gov/103/Community-Preservation-Committee 

The CPA is a Massachusetts state law (M.G.L. c. 44B) that allows communities to adopt a property tax  surcharge of up to 3%, the revenues from which are matched by State funds. By popular vote in the fall  of 2008, the citizens of Gloucester adopted a 1% surcharge to be spent in accordance with the  provisions of the CPA. Since then Gloucester has funded dozens of deserving projects that otherwise  would not have been able to go forward. 

CPA funds can be used for one of four purposes: 

o Acquire, create, and preserve open space; and rehabilitate and restore open space if acquired or  created with CPA funds 

o Acquire, preserve, rehabilitate, and restore historic resources 

o Acquire, create, and preserve land for recreation use; and rehabilitate and restore land for  recreational use 

o Acquire, create, preserve, and support community housing; and rehabilitate and restore  community housing acquired or created with CPA funds 

A nine-member Community Preservation Committee (CPC) of Gloucester citizens was established in  accordance with the terms of the Act. The CPC consists of four members at-large and one representative  each from the Historic Commission, the Conservation Commission, the Housing Authority, the Planning  Board, and Open Space & Recreation. 

The mission of the CPC is to study the needs of the City of Gloucester in cooperation with various City  boards, departments, organizations, and citizens and to solicit and evaluate proposals for the use of  Community Preservation Act funds for the maximum benefit to the City of Gloucester. The CPC will  recommend to the City Council those projects which it deems will best achieve the purpose of the  Community Preservation Act legislation in the areas of open space, historic preservation, affordable  housing, and recreation.

Anyplace Called Home

This Dorchester home looks like any other on the outside. It’s a home like many others, one that is both entirely unique and just like the neighbors. When this project came through our doors, we wanted to amplify that. Create something that would stand out, yet anyone would feel at home with. With bold finish choices and a little rearranging, we did exactly that.
