A Family Tribute – pat morss

Anne-Lise inherited some Norwegian ski sweater embroidery that was never used. It was time to put it to its rightful use.

The embroidery was hand-sewn by either her mother or her grandmother.
Anne-Lise found this traditional mid-19th century design.
Taught at school, she continues to knit several sweaters a year.
Starting the body of the sweater on circular needles, the Norwegian way.
The body is nearly complete.
And then the sleeves, on shorter circular needles.
Two parallel lines of thread secure the yarn before cutting the neck opening.
The separate body and sleeves are waiting to be knit together.
But first, the “heirloom” neck embroidery is sewn into place.
Again secured with thread, the body is cut to receive the sleeves.
The finished sweater, created by generations.

Gloucester Fire Department Directs Community Members with Emergencies to Only Call 911

GLOUCESTER — Fire Chief Eric Smith is asking community members to call 911 in the event of an emergency and no longer use direct phone lines to reach the Gloucester Fire Department.

Chief Smith and the Gloucester Fire Department direct anyone reporting an emergency situation or fire to call 911. This is now the only number for requesting assistance and reporting emergencies.

“Everyone must dial 911 in the event of any emergency,” said Chief Smith. “Our 911 lines continue to fully function. 911 is the only number used in Gloucester for requesting assistance, reporting fires and calling in other emergencies.”

For any Gloucester businesses or city residents that has a monitored fire alarm system or a monitored medical alert system, please check with your alarm monitoring company to determine what number it uses to report emergencies in the City of Gloucester. If that number used by your alarm monitoring company ends with “2424,” then you and/or your alarm monitoring company must contact the Gloucester Fire Department to receive the new alarm reporting number. In order to make this change, please call the Gloucester Fire Department’s non-emergency business line at 978-325-5300 and select the option to speak to a fire officer.

It was a foggy morning in Cripple Cove, East Gloucester the other day as some seagulls enjoyed snacking on some treats left behind in fishing totes.
