Beyond Measure initial screening

Hi Joey!

Waldorf School at Moraine Farm is one of approximately 20 educational institutions in the country offering this initial screening of Beyond Measure: Rescuing an Overscheduled, Overtested, Underestimated Generation from the director of critically acclaimed Race to Nowhere, Vicki Abeles. The screening is FREE Thursday, October 22 @ 7pm.

All are welcome to witness a positive picture of what’s possible in American education when communities decide they’re ready for change.  I was on a conference call with Vicki yesterday and I think she hit it out of the park again.  Time Magazine is currently working on a feature piece of this movie.  Interviews with internationally-known leaders in education, child development, creativity, motivation and academic equity are supported by real life examples of what’s working for schools all over the country. Change can be driven from the ground up.  This important movie shows us how.

sam's avatarcapeanneats

If you haven’t heard yet, we need to let you in on a little secret: Latitude 43 now has some serious heaters (trust us, these things are legit) so you can dine on their deck all year long. Picture it: Sipping cocktails and enjoying sushi, under the awing, while the snow literally falls around you.

Latitude for gmgBut let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, for now let’s focus on this glorious season: fall. The crisp, fall air, views of the harbor, a tasty beer (like the new pumpkin draft rotation*), all enjoyed while you’re warm and cozy outside on Latitude’s deck. It’s basically perfection.

Speaking of the changing seasons, starting the week of October 19th Latitude 43 and Minglewood Tavern’s seasonal hours will go into effect. Latitude 43 will be serving lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday; Minglewood will open at 4:00 PM Wednesday & Thursday and noon Friday…

Pork Loin-Cheap and Underrated On The Que

Started out with a 2 lb pork loin on the pit, setting it up using the snake method.  I learned something on this cook as I only lit 10 briquettes instead of a whole chimney and lit the fuse on one end letting it work it’s way around the perimeter of the kettlewhile having the cast iron pan set up with some atomic buffalo turds and triple smoked bacon which I’d let go for an hour or so to get all that good bacon fat into the pan for the brussel sprouts that I’d put on when the internal temp of the pork was 10 degrees away from when I wanted to pull it off (130 degrees).  Brussel sprouts are cheap and so damn easy to cook and delish!  After pulling the buffalo turds off there was a nice coating of bacon fat to cook the brussel sprouts in.  The baked potato went he same time as the pork loin.

After I pulle th eloin and the baked potato I let he loin rest for a half hour to let the juices redistribute throughout the loin.  Then cut up pork slices to put on a potato bun with a sauce that is my new favorite- Trader Joe’s Carolina Gold.  Look for it!

Greg Verga to Run Write-In Campaign for Councilor At-Large

Standard GMG Disclaimer:

Good Morning Gloucester Does Not Endorse Candidates and this press release should not be indicative of a an endorsement or non endorsement of any candidates.  We do not back politicians but do post candidacy announcements.

Greg Verga to Run Write-In Campaign for Councilor At-Large

image

Since the Mayoral preliminary election, I have heard from many, many citizens both in person and online urging me to run on a write-in bid to retain my Councilor-at-Large seat. It is truly humbling to be urged by my constituents again and again to fight for my seat and continue to serve the City of Gloucester.

After much reflection and discussion with family and friends I have decided that I will run a write-in campaign to remain your Councilor-at-Large. I cannot ignore the needs of the constituents whom I have served for so many years.

We are now 20 days away from the election. In order to build on the grassroots support I have already received, I will work each day to get my message out leading up to November 3rd. I will remain as accessible and transparent as I have always been as both a City Councilor and School Committee member l and everyone in Gloucester to check on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/WriteInGregVerga daily for how everyone can help. People can also reach me at 978-325-3523.

Each ballot will allow for the opportunity to vote for up to 4 candidates for Councilor-at-Large. I hope that each voter includes writing in Greg Verga on their ballot come November 3rd. I urge each citizen in Gloucester to commit to doing this and reaching out to others as well. I want to continue to serve our wonderful City and intend to for another term with your help.

Councilor-at-Large Greg Verga

Featured stopover on the drive to Baltimore from New Jersey … Fort Square Cafe

Last Sunday at the Fort Square Cafe … ran across some friends at breakfast. They were on their way to Baltimore from New Jersey. No kidding! On the right, Caitlin Warr, aerial ballet artist from Missoula, MT, now living in LA, was about to do a photo shoot aloft on the THOMAS E LANNON. Eve Brem from Switzerland is the photographer. Bryan Ruegg, holding a calendar featuring Caitlin flying over schooners, and his father Tom Ruegg did the driving. They are all racing on sch ADVENTURER in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race (GCBSR) from Baltimore to Portsmouth, VA starting Oct. 16th. 

ADVENTURER, from Easton, MD was first (again) in the medium class this year in the Gloucester Schooner Race, and has often been first in class in the challenging GCBSR.  Last year at the GCBSR Awards/Pig and Oyster Roast Caitlin Warr wowed us with her daring, fluid moves from high aloft.
