WRITER-PRODUCER HEATHER ATWOOD PRESENTS “THE COLOR OF LIGHT” VIDEOS ON LESSER-KNOWN CAPE ANN ARTISTS
The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation welcomes Heather Atwood on Sunday, April 23 at 3:30 pm in the historic 1806 Meetinghouse, corner of Middle and Church Streets, as she presents the stories of Cape Ann artists and their contribution to the vibrant artistic tradition of the region in a series of narrated videos. In collaboration with Cape Ann Cinema, Atwood’s videos will be projected upon a large screen inside the darkened Meetinghouse.
Artists have been coming to Cape Ann for more than 200 years inspired by its magical mix of rock, sea, and air. Of the hundreds of eminent painters, sculptors, and printmakers who have visited Cape Ann, moved here, or even grew up here, only a few are well known and most have received little recognition for their artistic contribution. Heather Atwood is changing that dynamic in a series of video presentations titled, The Color of Light. In these videos, Atwood tells the stories of some of Cape Ann’s most talented artists, some whose influence has been felt at the national level, but about whom little is known. By sharing these stories, Atwood seeks to demonstrate how rich and significant the Cape Ann artistic tradition has been, and continues today.
Heather Atwood is a producer for 1623 Studios, Cape Ann’s local access television station, where she is co-host for “Cape Ann Today.” She is well known for her exploration of Cape Ann’s local food traditions. For nearly ten years she profiled local growers, fishers, bakers, chefs, and homecooks through her “Food for Thought” column in the Gloucester Daily Times. Her cookbook, In Cod We Trust, celebrating the cuisine of coastal Massachusetts, was published by Globe Pequot Press in 2015. Her stories have appeared in Edible Boston, North Shore Magazine, and South Shore Magazine. In 2017, Atwood traveled the country combining politics and food in a podcast titled The Midterms Election Podcast.
Tickets are available online at www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org or at the door. General seating $25; students with ID $5; children under 12 free.

Hello,
My name is JD Aspesi, and I am raising money for Sal Parisi to help him through this difficult time with medical bills and daily expenses. Due to unfortunate tragic circumstances that have occurred to him over this past year this has been very stressful time in his life. Sal would stop in my shop weekly to meet with my father who helped him with his landscape equipment for his business Sal’s Lawn Care. We would chat on occasion and what I admired so much about Sal is his kind heart and positive vibes.
In 2022, Sal bought his very first home for himself and his favorite companion dog Lucy. A tragic occurrence happened shortly after purchasing and the house burned to the ground and Lucy did not make it out alive. Lucy was loved dearly by Sal and was in the family for five years. On top of the tragic loss of his house and dog, shortly after that both of his grandmothers passed away. After everything Sal has been through, on July 27, 2022, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Sal never skipped a beat and his first thoughts were let’s kick cancer’s ASS!!! Sal turned 44 on 10/22/22 and got to celebrate his birthday with all his friends and family at the Gloucester Fraternity Club. This past year has been difficult on so many levels, and then just recently his father Salvatore Parisi passed away peacefully on 12/18/2022.
Through everything Sal has been through over the last year, he remains positive. Life throws curveballs and you have to step up to the plate and hit them out of the park!
Sal has not been working since his diagnosis. All money raised will go directly to the family in supporting medical and assistive needs. Thank you in advance for any support and it is greatly appreciated.

A great Gloucester, built environment, story of renewal.
The devastating fire in an apartment building on Middle street in 2007 killed 1 person, and destroyed Temple Ahavat Achim’s building dating from 1828 and acquired in 1950. Gloucester’s First Parish Church, established in 1738, relocated from Grant Circle and assembled here 1828-1950. The doors salvaged from the burned building and the arch detail referencing the original historic structure were meaningfully incorporated into the synagogue’s new building, designed by Maryann Thompson. How beautiful! Hundreds of years of continuous community faith, hope and unity.

Congratulations to Caitlin Pszenny and Loran Caputo for the release of their delicious Queenpin IPA last night in support of the Pink Boots Society! The duo, one the outgoing Greater Cape Ann Chamber President and one the newest/current President, blended flavors and made their own beer at the Laneside Pub and Brewery at Cape Ann Lanes (which Caitlin and her husband, Nick, happen to own).

Jeff Weaver is a well known local artist and one of my favorites so it was a real treat to go to the Cape Ann Museum on Pleasant Street to see his special exhibit “This Unique Place”. It’s in an upstairs gallery and will be in place until June 3. If you enjoy iconic Gloucester views, this exhibit is definitely for you. The second Saturday of the month is free admission for Cape Ann residents (that’s this Saturday April 8!) so win-win.
Big Jim Murray from 98.5 The Sports Hub was in pain every day. Now that he has been seeing Dr. Sheri Russell in Beverly he is pain free! After just a few treatments, Big Jim is feeling great and is happy to share his experience!
