Beautiful Afternoon Walk Around The Paint Factory

Posted on by Pat D

It was a lovely afternoon a few days ago when I went down the the Paint Factory for a look around. Lo and behold, I noticed immediately that the whale tail sculpture had been repaired! Deborah Redmond’s Deep Dive Within is a favorite of mine and I am very happy to see it back again. I was also able to get out on the dock for some views of the area that perhaps you haven’t seen in a while, especially with the wondrous backdrop of sky and clouds.

Maritime Heritage Day Ardelle Sail

Posted on by Pat D

Yesterday’s Maritime Heritage Day offered 1 hour sails on the Ardelle for only $20 so we decided to take advantage of the opportunity to be out on the water during Schooner Fest. (*Side note: these tickets sold out so it will pay to plan ahead in the future!) We took Keith the Wreath out on the water with us and he was able to meet several of his fans along the way (talking to Susan and Cindy!) He’s a natural on the water.

Following the sail, we took part in several of the available activities as well as manning the merchandise table for a while. Several GMG followers and fans stopped by to say hello, which we very much appreciated. Today’s another great day for Schooner Fest 2022–especially the Parade of Sails at 10 AM. NOT TO BE MISSED!

City of Gloucester Announces New Restrictions on Outdoor Water Use

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
GLOUCESTER – Mayor Greg Verga and the City of Gloucester wish to update the community on water use restrictions, and urge all residents and businesses to conserve water whenever possible.
The City is implementing an immediate two-week ban on all non-essential outdoor water use. This change means that hand watering, which had been permitted from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m. daily, is temporarily considered non-essential.
The Northeast Region of Massachusetts remains in a Level 3 Critical Drought. Per MassDEP, this level of drought warrants such a ban on all non-essential outdoor water use. DEP lists considers “essential” water use as:
  • for health or safety reasons
  • by regulation
  • for the production of food and fiber
  • for the maintenance of livestock
  • to meet the core functions of a business
Failure to adhere to the restrictions can lead to the imposition of fines. Residents who wish to report a violation are asked to call the Gloucester Police Department at 978-283-1212
The ban will be assessed at the end of the two-week period.

Private wells

“This ban impacts those served by our municipal water supply, and not those who may have private wells,” Director of Public Works Michael Hale said. “However, we hope that private well owners will join in this effort, so that we may protect our groundwater sources that also are below normal levels.”
Drought conditions result in dry grass, shrubbery, and forest areas, as well as dry soil conditions, increasing the wildland fire risk. Cape Ann communities have seen multiple brush fires in recent weeks. Brush fires take multiple days to extinguish and exhaust local and regional resources.
All outdoor fires, including the use of outdoor fireplaces, firepits and chimineas, are prohibited during this time of critical drought. Residents are also asked to take care when disposing of combustible materials including the disposal of cigarettes.

Conservation tips

The City of Gloucester also shares the following tips from the Massachusetts Water Resources Commission on ways to conserve water:
  • Limit lawn watering, especially during a drought. Lawns naturally go dormant during dry conditions. They will revive when conditions improve.
  • Maintain healthy soils.
  • Choose native plants or plants and turf that need less water.
  • Use mulch to reduce evaporation and moderate soil temperature.
  • Leave grass clippings on lawns to shade and return nutrients to soil.
  • Sweep driveways, walkways, patios and other outdoor areas with a broom rather than hosing them off.
  • Wash vehicles using a bucket and sponge employing a hose with a shut off nozzle for rinsing only, or, if available, use a commercial car wash that recycles water (most do).
  • Cover swimming pools when not in use to prevent evaporation.
  • Choose high-efficiency plumbing products and appliances.
  • Turn off water while brushing teeth or shaving (“never let the water run”).
  • Take shorter showers and use water-saving showerheads.
  • Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes.
  • Fix leaky faucets, toilets and pipes as soon as you notice them.
  • Create a kitchen compost bin instead of using the garbage disposal.
