Joey Ciaramitaro's avatarCape Ann Community

Hey Joe,
Was wondering if you could put something up on GMG about drones and ask the owners not to fly them over the Lannon. We have been sailing at the breakwater and a drone has been following us around and really bothering our passengers on 3 occasions. I reached out to Craig Kimberly and Martin Delvecio and it’s not them, are the only people I know with them.

Anything will help.

Important Event In The History Of The Schooner Adventure @SailSchooner

Adventure 10-pound

On Monday afternoon, 08 August 2016, an important and notable event occurred for the City of Gloucester.  The schooner Adventure – one of the great highline dory fishing schooners, sailed into the harbor after making a sail home from the Boston Fish Pier – a trip that has occurred only once before since the vessel retired from fishing 63 years ago. Adventure had been in Boston for the Boston Seafood Festival, representing Gloucester and New England’s fishing heritage . During her time (1926-1953) the schooner Adventure recorded nearly $4-million dollars in landings, making her one of the most famous vessels in the North American fishing industry. She is a National Historic Landmark and a living legacy of Gloucester’s proud fishing community.

Heat Emergency Declared in Gloucester, Cooling Center Announced at Rose Baker Senior Center

August 11, 2016 ~ Chris Sicuranza

With temperatures expected to reach or exceed 90 degrees for the next several days, Gloucester Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken has declared a heat emergency. Seniors and youth are especially cautioned to take precautionary measures.

The Rose Baker Senior Center will be open for use as cooling centers for the public to use starting Thursday. Rose Baker Location: 6 Manuel F Lewis St, Gloucester, MA 01930 / Phone: (978) 281-9765

Mayor Romeo Theken and Health Department Assistant Director Max Schenk issued the following heat safety tips for all members of the public:

  • Adults and children should use sunscreen containing an SPF-15 or higher and wear protective, loose fitting clothing, including long sleeve shirts and hats.
  • The elderly, young children and those with chronic medical conditions, especially respiratory conditions, are more susceptible to the effects of heat.
  • Check in on the elderly and family or neighbors who may be at risk of heat exhaustion or heatstroke as temperatures climb.
  • Children and pets should never be left alone in vehicles, even for short periods of times.
  • If you become lightheaded, confused, weak or faint, stop all activity and immediately find shade or a cool area to rest. If symptoms persist, call 911 immediately.
  • Limit outdoor activity to morning and evening hours. Rest often in shady areas and be extra cautious from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the sun’s UV radiation is strongest
  • Drink plenty of fluids regardless of activity level. Avoid alcoholic beverages and liquids high in sugar or caffeine.
  • Homeless individuals can become dehydrated rapidly due to a lack of access to water or shelter from the heat. If you observe someone who appears to be in distress, call 911 immediately
  • If you have a child in your home, use child window guards in addition to screens on any open window on the second story or above. Falls are the leading cause of injury for children under the age of 6.
  • Secure all window air conditioner units according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Children should always wear shoes on playgrounds because surfaces can become extremely hot and cause burns, even splash pads and spray decks.

Gloucester Area Astronomy Club Summer Schedule

August 11, 2016 ~ Michael Deneen

blogpic

Just a quick reminder that there is no GAAC meeting in August. Too many people are away on vacation; we’ll be back in September.

Weather permitting, the final Halibut Point State Park star party of the season takes place on Sept 3rd; there will be an early first-quarter moon, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, and lots of bright nebulae and star clusters. We’ll be set up next to the Visitor Center. Please park in the paved lot and walk up the path.

Our Sept 9 GAAC meeting will feature Steve Kolaczkowski with an astronomical brain teaser of a presentation, asking “How Do We Know the Things We Know?” and of course with any luck, showing us the answers. This should be a whole lot of fun, so come early for a good seat. More on this later.

Enjoy the rest of the Summer, and we’ll see you in September.


Music on Meetinghouse Green to Benefit the Gloucester Writers Center

August 10, 2016 ~ Rose ~

3rian King and Nathan Cohen plus Chris Leghorn and Gerry Ryan in Free Concert, Friday, August 12, 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Corner of Middle and Church Streets, Gloucester, MA

Leghorn, Ryan and King pic

3rian King (voice, keys, guitar) and Nathan Cohen (violin, trumpet) are the founders of the neo-cabaret band, What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?. The pair like to bend and blend genres, allowing the song to be what it needs to be in order to express its emotional core. Together they have packed houses in Boston, NYC, and throughout the country.

Veteran performers Chris Leghorn and Gerry Ryan have formed a new acoustic duo who perform a wide range of compelling songs that cover the traditions from folk, Celtic, sea shanties, original and popular music. They specialize in performing catchy songs with strong melodies and moving harmonies that captivate and entertain an audience.

This is concert six in a series of nine free outdoor concerts presented by the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation.   The family-friendly concert begins at 6 pm. Bring a picnic, folding chairs or blankets. In case of rain, the event will take place inside the Meetinghouse (no food or drink permitted inside.) Donations will be accepted to benefit the Gloucester Writers Center.

Since its founding in 2010, the Gloucester Writers Center has hosted hundreds of events including readings, classes, lectures, films, writers-in-residence and community events.
A working writers center in a working town, the GWC is housed in the home of Gloucester’s first poet laureate, Vincent Ferrini. For fifty years Ferrini lived and wrote poetry in his home and framing studio at 126 East Main Street. After his death in 2007 the project of opening the house as a living memorial began with Ferrini’s nephew, Henry Ferrini, long-time friend Annie Thomas, friend and Unitarian Universalist minister Paul Sawyer and New York writer André Spears. The GWC was incorporated before Sawyer’s death in 2010 and soon received 501(c)(3) status.

Next Friday’s concert features the Milkhouse Heaters from Vermont to benefit the Cape Ann Art Haven.
