Chris Sicuranza's avatarCape Ann Community

2017 State of the City Address

Delivered by Her Honor, Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken

Dear Citizens of Gloucester,

In January of 2015, I took the oath of office to be Gloucester’s Mayor and I promised to represent all of our citizens and to work with you to keep our city moving forward, together. Over the past two years, we have strengthened our city government through honest and transparent policies, meetings and forums.  We have also worked with our state and federal delegations to ensure relief money is received and high value grants are awarded. While we have new businesses helping expand our seasonal tourism, we have also embraced new initiatives designed to benefit our workforce. As we reflect on the efforts this administration has made, I want to assure all of you that the state of our city is strong and our future is brighter now more than ever.

Much…

USDA Wildlife Services conducting a crow roost dispersal Mon – Weds

Chris Sicuranza's avatarCape Ann Community

USDA Wildlife Services (WS) will be conducting a crow roost dispersal at 128 Rogers Street, Gloucester, MA on February 27th – March 2nd 2017.  This is a non-lethal technique that will require the use of pyrotechnics.  Pyrotechnics have a very similar sound to “bottle rockets” or similar fireworks.  With this comes the inherent risk of many noise complaints and although we do not foresee it happening, an increased fire risk.  WS staff will begin dispersing crows at approximately 17:00 (or earlier if they show up then) on Monday and will continue after sunset or until the last crow comes into the area.  Dispersals are most successful when they are conducted numerous days in a row and that is why we have planned the dispersal for four (4) days.  There is the possibility it does not require all of the days, but we have to prep in case it…

Help Wanted: Gloucester Research Project

Hannah Kimberley's avatarCape Ann Community

Dear Good Morning Gloucester Community,

I am an author in Gloucester and the president of the League of Women Voters of Cape Ann. I have just finished my first book about a suffragist/mountain climber/author named Annie Smith Peck published by St. Martin’s Press (https://www.amazon.com/Womans-Place-Top-Biography-Climbers/dp/1250084008).

Now, I am on to my next project about the League of Women Voters. For this, I need your help. I am starting with a history of the league in Gloucester and am trying to find any connections that you may know of to the following women who were in the league during the 1950s. If you have any information about the following women, I would appreciate it if you could contact me at Hannah.s.kimberley@gmail.com. Any information at all is welcome. I’d love to be able to highlight the history of the women in our community on a national stage. Many thanks in advance.

Cross fit Cape Ann- The Aftermath…

Last Monday Chris DeWolfe challenged the boys at the HomieCast taping to show up for a Saturday Morning Community  Cross Fit class.  James Eves and I took the challenge and Craig Kimberley was there to bust our balls encourage us while taping the whole thing.

Here’s your update:

Update. It’s tough. For those that can’t appreciate that to make gains in health, stamina, weight loss and confidence you need to exert lots of energy and push themselves, then this isn’t for those people. The positive energy in that room was unbelievable. Am I sore this morning? You betcha. Love it. People in there were fit. There was so many different levels of positive experience to share about it I’m not sure where to begin. But when you’re working in a team with a goal and everyone there is encouraging you every step of the way it’s pretty fucking awesome. So if people want to go to the gym and lollygag around, this isn’t the place for them.  But if they want to see real results in an unbelievably positive group environment it’s hard to beat.

I’ve worked out for good stretches for most of my life.  I consider myself pretty well versed in what you need to do to get in shape.  Having said that I’d bet that most people that train their bodies conventionally like I’ve done forever miss a good part of their body parts because they do specific exercises aimed at specific body parts.  With cross fit, you’re doing movements that require energy to be expended using multiple body parts at the same time and that is a really efficient use of your training time and a way to burn a shit-ton of calories.

I’m sore.  Yep.   A good sore and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thanks Chris for suggesting it and Jon Conant at Cross Fit Cape Ann for hosting us.

Big props to the only other HomieCast member to show up- James Eves who powered his way through right to the very end!

Have You Been To The Franklin Cape Ann Lately?

https://www.facebook.com/franklin.ann

You know, it’s insane how blessed we are to have places like The Franklin right in our downtown.  Maria Seniti Figurido and staff have just been flat out executing a perfect balance of friendly staff, expertly prepared dishes and a gorgeous room and they’ve been doing it for years.

I don’t know how they manage to keep it fresh the way they do but every time we dine there we walk out and say, you know, we gotta go there more often.  Thanks Maria, Joe and Stafano for a fantastic dinner.  We’ll be seeing you again soon!
