2016 IDRC News

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Happy New Year Rowers:

2016 promises to be an exciting new year for the IDRC, with new opportunities for those interested in helping to take the organization in a new direction.  I have enjoyed my time in the leadership role of this organization for many years, but have decided it is time for some new people with fresh ideas to take over.  I appreciate the many people who helped me over the years to maintain the dories, organize the races, set up the annual functions and Lunenburg adventures, as well as participate in or spectate the races.  I could not have pulled it off with out all of your volunteer efforts, so thank you all.
In my time with the IDRC, I hoped to introduce dory rowing and racing to the masses and make the organization more inclusive to all interested parties.  We built our membership to over 200 members.  We held a learn to row program and mentorship program.  We moved to the digital age with emails, website, facebook page and even on-line dues payment.  All of which can be done better in the future with your participation!  I will continue to participate in dory rowing, and volunteer some time to the organization, but not in the leadership role.  I truly hope that some of you many folks that are out rowing the dories all Spring and Summer will consider volunteering some time to help continue this great tradition in Gloucester.
Please attend the upcoming membership meeting 7PM on Monday, February 8th at 28 Gee Avenue (barn) in Gloucester where we will discuss the changes and new direction of the organization.  All members are encouraged to attend and volunteer to take a position on the board.
Best regards,
Erik Dombrowski
Gloucester International Dory Racing Committee, Inc.

“BEE SAFE, BEE NATURAL” WINS $1000

 On Tuesday, January 26th, Awesome Rockport teamed up with the Education Foundation of Rockport to select one of three Rockport Middle School finalists to receive a $1000 grant to make Rockport more awesome. Kids from grades 5 through 8 were invited to participate, and there were 19 applicants for the grant! Three finalists pitched their ideas in public forum at the middle school cafeteria Tuesday night. Superintendent Rob Liebow and Mr. Jim Gutstadt represented the Ed Foundation and participated in the voting process as well.

The winning pitch, titled “Bee Safe, Bee Natural”, was made by three 5th graders looking to establish a honey bee hive in Rockport. The group wants to maintain the hive, train others about beekeeping, establish a source for local honey production, and help educate others on the challenges…

Stranded Grey Seal Pup Rescue at Captain Hooks In #GloucesterMA

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Jess Bean submits-

Hi Joey,
There was a gray seal pup rescue at Captain Hooks this morning. He was okay, just exhausted. He came off the river at high tide and then crossed the street to Captain Hooks. Fire Dept and Animal Control came and then the woman is Marine Biologist from NOAA that used to rescue seals who just happen to be driving by. So they wrapped him in a blanket. Put it in the woman’s Subaru and took it to the top of Hodgkins where the Animal stranded Coordinator lives near by and she’ll make sure that he goes back to river at high tide. The woman from NOAA said the seal was probably 45-50 days old.

I guess Sea otters are alright, unlike dogs and other wild animals that try to bite you.
