Duh Joey, There already is a Park and Shuttle System in #GloucesterMA That can get tourists off Downtown Gloucester Roads and To The Beaches for next to nothing!
So before Last Night’s Taping Of The GloucesterCast we Had Been Talking About How Gloucester Should Have a Park and Shuttle Solution Like Rockport Does. Well, Duh, It Has had One For a Long While! I Don’t Think Many People Know About It Though.
Charlene Delaney who volunteers at the Stage Fort Park Visitor’s Center came out and explained Gloucester’s system of parking free at Stage Fort and being shuttled all over town for next to nothing on The CATA shuttle.

Charity Film Screening to Support Wounded Veterans
CHARITY FILM SCREENING TO SUPPORT WOUNDED VETERANS
Tickets are now on sale for the New England film premiere of “Darkness and Light,” a documentary featuring conversations with eleven wounded veterans, ten Marines and one Soldier, who happens to be Gloucester’s own, Austin Dorr, a Korean War combat veteran.
The film will screen at Rockport Music’s Shalin Liu Performance Center on Thursday, September 10, 2015 at 6:30pm and proceeds will benefit wounded veterans via the Semper Fi Fund. View the trailer and purchase tickets here: http://rockportmusic.org/thi-wernaus-darkness-and-light/
Synopsis:
Rockport’s very own, Thi Linh Wernau, presents the New England premiere screening of her documentary film,Darkness and Light. In the film, Wernau interviews eleven wounded veterans, largely post-9/11 war veterans and Marines, through the lens of her photography series, “You. Are. Beautiful.” – a project celebrating the human spirit and beauty in all people. Themes around darkness and light emerge in these candid, unscripted and conversational interviews, and ultimately, these themes will tie back to one of the project’s main sources of inspiration: love. The audience will learn more about these wounded veterans, and get to know them simply as human beings. The veterans share messages that may help and inspire other injured veterans. By the film’s end, anyone, military or non-military, may discover a new place of understanding of how to find light within the depths of darkness.
Event Program:
6:30 – 7:00 PM: Artist talk
7:00 – 8:45 PM: Movie presentation
8:45 – 10:00 PM: Reception in the 3rd floor Reception Hall
(all movie ticket holders are welcome to attend)
This event is proudly sponsored by Wernau Asset Management.

2015 WINDHOVER ANNOUNCES “QUARRY DANCE 4” at Little Parker Quarry
Off Rowe Avenue in Rockport, MA 01966
Performances are: FRIDAY, JULY 31st at 5:30PM
SATURDAY, AUGUST 1st at 11:00AM & 5:30PM
SUNDAY, AUGUST 2nd at 1:00PM
Windhover Performing Arts Center has presented unforgettable Quarry Dances for the past three years on Cape Ann. The New York City based dance company, Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre, returns again this summer for a residency at Windhover for one week in order to create and choreograph a site specific quarry dance for the public. The quarry dance performances continue to grow in popularity each year. (see attached flyer)
For Quarry Dance 4, the Dušan Týnek dancers will use the architecture of Little Parker Quarry — its ledges, cliffs, terraces and water — to celebrate this special place. The uniqueness and beauty of the quarry will be embraced and honored as in the previous quarry dances.
Performances are free and open to the public, but donations are welcome. No reservations are required. The performance will last just over one hour.
Du Dance Theatre
There is NO parking on Rowe Avenue or on Drumlin Road. Due to the lack of any available parking at Little Parker Quarry, please take note of these special instructions for parking and shuttle transportation:
Limited parking has been arranged at the Granite Pier on the upper level. Although fees are waived for parking, you must stop at the small parking kiosk and request a Quarry Dance parking pass from the attendant. Please display this parking pass in the front window. Due to the limited space for parking, car pooling is highly suggested.
There will be a six passenger van shuttle available at Granite Pier for $1.00 per person each way for those who do not want to walk. It is about a 15 minute uphill walk from Granite Pier to the Quarry on Rowe Avenue. The shuttle will begin 45 minutes prior to each performance and run continually until the performance starts. It will return guests back to Granite Pier following the performances. We are requesting that no private vehicles be driven on Rowe Avenue or on Drumlin Road going to the quarry during the shuttle and performance times in order to allow for an unimpeded flow of traffic.
Note: Seating will be on a first-come-first-served basis and chairs will be provided. In addition, people are welcome to bring blankets to sit on, as well bring their own water and soft drinks. Please do be advised that space is limited.
In case of rain, the performance is cancelled.

Wisdoms Heart
Hi Joey-
I was hoping to share an interesting presentation that I attended at at Wisdom’s Heart in Gloucester Center last week. It is an example of the wide array of special events that are offered and open to the public. Check out their summer schedule at wisdomsheart.org.
The presenter was Julie Upton who resides in both Rockport and Kathmandu, Nepal and is a practitioner, student and teacher of the dharma, yoga and meditation. Her slide show/lecture describing spiritual adventure tours she has given through Northern India and Nepal was fascinating! People can find out more about her guided tours at middlewaytours.com .
Thanks for sharing!
Best- Janet
