Updated:Rumors Swirling of Possible Hostage Situation or Training on Backshore
UPDATE: The GDT reported that it was a hoax.
The concern is that there is a group that is staging these hoaxes to study how police and other officials respond to such threats.
Phone has been blowing up all morning. I resisted the urge to post anything because there are too many rumors. I don’t want to post the wrong information. What I have seen and heard is sheriff’s cars with lights and sirens. Seeing them now leaving Gloucester. We’ve heard and I am not confirming but there may have been a training but again, nothing has been confirmed.
So there’s that…..

The 1st Annual Cape Ann Shave to Save was a great success.
Becky Shaw (Betsy Rich’s Mother)
The 1st Annual Cape Ann Shave to Save was a great success. So far we have raised almost $5,000.00 for St Jude Children’s Hospital. We had 12 participants ranging in age from 87 to 5. Dawn Burnham’s youngest grandsons from New Hampshire and Connecticut joined the cause. Jane Shaw & Dawn Burnham would like to thank everyone who made this night a success. A special thanks goes to Michael Antell, and the ladies of Ambiance Hair Design, Rockport & Jennifer’s Hair Studio & Spa for giving up their Friday night to shave heads.
Donations may be made until June 10th. Checks may be written out to St Jude and mailed to P O Box 74, Essex, 01929.

Attached is a flyer advertising a 1 hour concert that the Omaley Vocal Performance group will be hosting on Wednesday June 10th at 7:00PM in the OMaley Auditorium. The students under the direction of Mrs. Sellers have been staying after school 2 days a week to prepare for this special event. We would love to fill the auditorium to showcase their hard work. Would you be able to post this flyer to create awareness?

A Hero Among Us Sergeant Isaac Pike of Gloucester Earns the Bronze Medal
Check Out This Exceprt From Terry Weber’s piece here-
A Hero Among Us
Sergeant Isaac Pike of Gloucester Earns the Bronze Medal
At just 21 years of age, Isaac Pike of Gloucester demonstrated uncommon leadership and courage under duress that most of us only read about or see in movies.
Back in 2003, Pike served as an Army Airborne Rifle Team Leader during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Now, 12 years later, at Gloucester City Hall, he received the Bronze Star Medal for his “exceptionally valorous action” during the Battle of As Samawah. Pike’s leadership under fire inspired his team to fight at great risk and resulted in the enemy’s eventual retreat and a pinned down platoon was able to emerge safely from the danger zone.
An estimated 200 people gathered at Gloucester’s City Hall last Friday to watch Pike receive the medal. Pike, 34, accepted the award from retired Army Col. John G. Castles. Hosting the event was Richard Barbato, an Outreach Specialist for the Lowell Veterans Center. Both Castles and Barbato served in Iraq with Pike and were present on the day Pike earned his Bronze Star.

MOSSE the band is back – tonight at Short & Main
Joey,
GoodMorningGloucester readers know all about the band MOSSE from this GMG exclusive story when they played at Minglewood Tavern. (You’ll recall the post led to a great back-and-forth in the Comments about our Kim Smith’s husband Tom Hauck, who used to be a cool-as-ice rock star in the band The Atlantics — go back and check out the video.)
Tonight MOSSE is back for their last show until the fall. They’ll be playing at Short & Main on Main Street in Gloucester at 9 p.m. No cover. See you there!

You have to try this…
Alchemy just introduced a new menu, with plenty of delicious summery items like the Scallop Crudo and First Pick Strawberry Salad, but the dish we can’t get enough of is the Potato Croquette.
It’s like arancini meets mozzarella stick meets potato, but its somehow surprising light. Trust us, you just need to try it.

Uhmmm There’s Zero Reason For You Not To Get Thirty Days Of Free Amazon Prime Video and Binge Watch My Favorite Show Of All Time…
INSTEAD OF WASTING MONEY ON REDBOX OR RENTING FROM CABLE
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AMAZON PRIME VIDEO FREE FOR 30 DAYS
Just got a notice that Amazon Prime Video (which let’s be honest if you’re still paying for full blown cable you’re a dinosaur) is giving away free 30 day trials of it’s service.
Which means you can watch Kenny MFing Powers in all his glory on East Bound and Down. All Four Hilarious Seasons!!!
Not to mention about a bazillion other shows. There is zero and I mean zero reason not to take up this free offer (and just another reason people need to be cutting the cord and ditching cable and home phone services)

BTW, Read this from Gizmodo if you weren’t already convinced to take advantage of the offer-
Today the FCC voted to “effectively allow cable companies to charge whatever they like for all broadcast TV” — which is a shitty move. Most things about cable companies, the most hated of industries in terms of customer satisfaction, are terrible. Have you cut your cord or are you still wired in?
Obscure FCC Regulation Could Make Local TV Channels More ExpensiveOver at Bloomberg, an inside source reports that the FCC has just voted to allow cable companies to …
Read moreIt’s become a cliche — especially in New York City — to roll one’s eyes at a cable box and proclaim, “I don’t even own a television.” I’m guilty of it. The truth is that I miss cable sometimes: the endless variety of channels, live news, the comfort of always having Something On. I miss watching The Daily Show without hassle most of all.
But there are enough options with my Netflix and Amazon Prime subscriptions (this reminds me to cancel Hulu+, which I never use) to keep me distracted. If you have a fast internet connection, you have access to an abundance of streaming media — no Time Warner or Comcast intermediary required.
So why do you still keep your cable? And if you’re cable-free, what does your media setup look like?
Here are some clips from some of the shows you could be watching free on your TV, iPad or Phone Right Now-
My favorite- East Bound and Down
The Wolf Of Wall Street
Every Episode of The Sopranos
