Mayor Greg Verga is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert Vicari  as the City’s new Building Commissioner.

Vicari brings over 30 years of experience in both the public and private sectors, encompassing building code enforcement, municipal permitting, and construction management. Since 2021, he has proudly served as one of Gloucester’s Local Building Inspectors, as well as the Sealer of Weights and Measures and the Zoning Enforcement Officer.

A graduate of Gloucester High School, Vicari attended Wentworth Institute of Technology, where he pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management. He holds numerous professional licenses, including a Construction Supervisor License and Building Official Certification.

As a lifelong Gloucester resident, Vicari is motivated to help the City grow and continue making it a beautiful place to live and visit.

“Our Building Commissioner plays a critical role in ensuring the integrity, safety, and procedure of a wide array of building projects,” Mayor Verga said. “Rob’s extensive professional experience, both with the City and in the private sector, coupled with his pride in his community, make him the perfect choice for this role. We look forward to Rob stepping into this position and working with him.”

Vicari took over the role on April 22, 2024. 

A two-run home run by Danny MacDougall (Taunton, Mass.) in the top of the tenth inning sent the No. 1 ranked Endicott College baseball team over No. 6/7 Johns Hopkins University, 7-5, on Friday afternoon in the opening game of a best-of-three NCAA Super Regional series at North Field.

WP (3-0):Evan Scully (Maynard, Mass.) – 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
LP (1-2):Grant Meert (Ballwin, Mo.) – 0.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER

With Endicott playing as the visiting team in game one due to NCAA Super Regional rules, Dylan Pacheco (Dartmouth, Mass.) led off the top of the tenth with a single to right. He then moved to second on a wild pitch and to third on ground out by Nicolas Notarangelo (Taunton, Mass.) before MacDougall came to the plate and launched his seventh home run of the season over the fence in left giving the Gulls a 7-5 edge.

A year ago this month, Sebastian Junger came to Gloucester to speak at a Gloucester 400+ event. Last night, he returned as a guest of the Bookstore of Gloucester on Main St to talk about his newest book In My Time of Dying. The book evolved from a near death life changing experience of Mr. Junger’s about 4 years ago. As with last May, his presentation was entertaining, informative and engaging. The City Hall Kyrouz Auditorium was packed to the gills with friends and interested residents for this intriguing topic.

I’ve read the book and am duly impressed (again) with Sebastian Junger’s writing style. He clearly does an overwhelming amount of research into his subjects. In fact, an impressive 19 pages of source material is listed and it’s obvious from the text that he’s done his homework. I noted several medical phrases such as you hear on those doctor shows. Some of them are complicated but he presents them in a way the reader can understand.

He presents the large questions of life and death in a thought provoking, but safe manner. I am of an age where my other retired friends are beginning to die and I’ve suffered several losses recently. It may be that my frame of mind was exceptionally ready to read and contemplate these exact questions. But I think the book will have wide appeal and suggest you put it on your reading list. Thank you Mr. Junger for sharing such personal insights. Well done on the Bookstore of Gloucester in arranging the event!
