During the taping of GloucesterCast 135 at Cape Ann TV I was completely baffled at the responses from the panel when asked which they would rather step in if they were wearing flip flops and didn’t have a choice in the matter- dog poop or gum.  Donna, Kenny and Toby all chose dog poop which is shocking.

Am I crazy for choosing gum?  I figure you can put ice on the gum and get it off, but I want no part of any flip flops that have trudged through dog poop. In the dumpster they go!

Where do you fall on the most pressing issue?

Cape Ann TV Announces It’s Next

Forget about what you read online or what your brother’s friend who is a filmmaker told you. Find out the REAL DEAL about cameras on the market.

Learn the differences between shooting video with a DSLR, consumer camcorder, professional camcorder, cine camera, mirrorless or compact system camera, and even cell phone cameras. 
You will learn about sensor sizes, 4K vs. HD, lens options, frame rates, camera construction and hear about brands like Canon, Sony, Blackmagic, GoPro, Panasonic and more. Audio for video recording will also be discussed.

This is not a camera class, it’s more informational for the person trying to make sense of the world of videography.

You will learn about these cameras: Panasonic X920, HC-X1000, GH4, Sony A7s, FS7, PXW-X70, Canon C100, XF205, T6S, GoPro hero4, Blackmagic camera, a DJI Inspire 1 Drone w/ 4K camera, and Shogun recorder. Additionally Barry Dennis will discuss the capabilities of Rokinon lenses and a variety of wireless microphones.

Seating is limited for this event. Please email: rtober@capeanntv.org to reserve your seat. 

Hi Joey: My DECA students just started a DECA cycling club and we are riding before school on Wednesday’s and meeting for coffee at different places around Gloucester. My students have created a blog and we are hoping to do a charity ride before the end of the year. Check out the blog at decabikers.blogspot.com

This is from our school newspaper the Gillnetter: Not sure if you wanted to include this-just really cool to actually get seniors to do something before school at 6:00 a.m!

If you were asked to imagine the best way to experience Cape Ann in the morning how would you answer? The Gloucester High DECA program believes they have found just the thing. Starting with a well attended Wednesday morning rendezvous the DECA Bike Team has kicked off an expanding campaign of enjoyable bike riding, and promotion of better environmental consciousness. Spearheaded by Mrs. Grassetti, the business teacher and focal point of DECA at GHS, the DECA Bike Team aims to encourage larger participation and begin a weekly charity ride.

Only one week into the young program the DECA Bikers have already spent two early mornings riding to local coffee shops and enjoying the morning atmosphere. Mrs. Grassetti found herself “pleasantly surprised by the amount of students who actually showed up and how much they enjoy it.” The DECA program plans to expand the infant program by introducing DECA Bike Team T-shirts and beginning the Wednesday morning charity sponsored rides.

Senior Jared Marshall has taken to the new group activity with enthusiasm and even began a blog to document their rides and attract new riders. The group as described by Marshall, a track star nonetheless, is “just a bunch of DECA kids who love the thrill of the bike.” These bike lovers blog can be found at decabikers.blogspot.com; the group is planning future rides both for enjoyment and charity and would love more involvement from the GHS student body. Their blog is simple to navigate and announces planned rides. Mrs. Grassetti has been pleased so far with their results and is “looking forward to keeping the rides going.” So keep an eye out for the DECA Riders.

Hi Joey- 

Named MAMA KIN

No time for drama.  Good luck to all those that try to drag me into their nonsense.   Life is way too short for grudges and negativity. 

Every year that passes Buddhism and Buddhist principles make more sense. 

I choose happiness and laughter. Try it on,  it’s a good fit.

Huge thanks to Erich Archer,  Lisa Smith and Henry Cooper  At Cape Ann TV.

Hi. Hows it going?

My name is Rob Apse and I’m a filmmaker out of Boston, MA. Over the last year or so I filmed a documentary involving the granite quarries of Cape Ann. It was an Official Selection at both the Boston International Film Festival and Newburyport Documentary Film Festival. The film is also receiving a Gloucester Historical Commission Award on May 17th and will be screened at the ceremony as well.

I’d love to share it with the entire Cape Ann community and Good Morning Gloucester seems like the perfect place.

I hope you’d be willing to share it and more importantly, I hope you enjoy it.

You can watch the film here.

Take care and thank you for your time.
