Cape Ann TV Survey
Hi Joey,
I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind posting a link to an online survey we’re conducting. In an effort to improve our services we’re trying to get a better sense of our viewership. We’re created a quick, 10-question survey that will help us gain insight into if/what/how people are watching CATV and what we’re doing well/need to improve. This valuable feedback will help us better-serve Cape Ann.
Here is the link.

Thank you very much.

Sharon and Leo Have Some Nice Things To Say
Hey Joey!
Just wanted to drop a quick note to thank you for keeping our spirits up all winter! …wicked winter that it was! (Yep..we had snow today, April 23..) Even seeing our favorite vacation spots under the snow made us happy. Everyday after shoveling we would come in and read your daily blog. We would “catch-up” on news, see what Sista Felicia was cooking, and plan new places to go on our next visit.

Solar Success!!! Brian and Diane O’Connor Had Their Solar Install On East Main Street #GloucesterMA Done On Earth Day and It’s Looking Sweet!
Back In January we were there when Brian’s Solar Advisor Kevin Prickett came by to look at Brian’s house and make recommendations. Here is what he had to say back in January-
Hi Joey, Just a quick follow on Brian and Diane O’Connor’s Solar evaluation. Brian and Diane’s home has qualified and they have decided to put rooftop solar on their home in Gloucester. (Only 15% of homes in MA are eligible.) Because of their home’s orientation to the sun and other factors, their entire cost will be covered by various federal, state and utility incentives. In fact they will actually be making money over and above their cost. And getting 90% of their electricity for free. If anyone else would like to find out if their home qualifies, I just need their contact information and our techs will initially rate the home via satellite. If it qualifies, we can up with a time for us to talk about how it all works. (About 90 mins.) I am in the process of working with several other Gloucester residents and will keep you posted on their progress. Many thanks for your continued support, Kevin Prickett Solar Advisor
As you can see it’s all come to fruition!
If you would like a completely free Solar evaluation to see if your house qualifies for the crazy amount of incentives and as Kevin states potentially 90% of your electricity for free, Fill Out The Form and They Will Contact You To Set It Up-
From just a few months ago in the snow for the evaluation when we took the video, to an Earth Day install, Brian’s gotta be psyched! Looking at the installation it looks like a super clean job.

William Feather Quote of the Week from Greg Bover
“Many of our prayers were not answered, and for this we are now grateful.”
William Feather (1889-1981)
A native of upstate New York, Feather moved to Cleveland as a teenager and graduated from Western Reserve University in 1910. He was a reporter for The Cleveland Plain Dealer for several years before starting The William Feather Magazine with a friend who owned a print shop. He later married Ruth Presley and borrowed against her inheritance to buy out the friend. As sole owner and publisher, he used the magazine to gain a national reputation as a “benevolent iconoclast” writing on business, taxation, and philosophy. He often sparred verbally with H. L. Mencken on issues such as a flat tax and advantages for businessmen. He remained editor of the magazine until his death at 92.

Where’s Homie?
Hi Joey,
Recently I’ve been spending time researching the history Gloucester, and have come across many photos of the fish drying yards that once covered the Gloucester Waterfront before the days of the modern refrigeration like this one circa 1906. There was always something about these photos that I found disturbing, and never figured out why until recently. Looking at the photos, it occurred to me that there is one ubiquitous element of Gloucester Harbor that is hauntingly absent… The gulls. Where are they? What is keeping them from the feast waiting right there on the wharf? If anybody knows the answer, please share.
Enjoy!

staff from Mass Audubon’s Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary Took To The Coastline
Last weekend, a dedicated group of volunteers and staff from Mass Audubon’s Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary took to the coastline to clean up the coastal and marsh areas of Eastern Point, where Mass Audubon has 53 acres that support large numbers of seabirds and waterfowl. Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary also oversees Mass Audubon properties on Cape Ann including 35 acres at Norman’s Woe Wildlife Sanctuary and 32 acres on Straitsmouth Island. Photo shows the debris that accumulated over the harsh winter this year.

Can We Talk About What A No Brainer The Maplewood Car Wash Is
(SPECIFICALLY THE $20 TOTAL POST-WINTER DOUCHING PACKAGE)
Self admittedly my truck hasn’t seen the car wash for an exterior or interior cleaning since fall.
I’ve been waiting for a few good rain storms to get the salt off the road.
I’m basically doubling down on what Paul Morrison had to say in his praises of the Maplewood Car Wash a couple of weeks ago.
Just do it, and spring for the $20 works package. Interior vacuum, Windows, the whole works. Is it a real deal detailing job that pros charge over a hundred bucks for? No, but I’ll take five of these over the course of the year over one good detailing any day.
The guys are courteous and do a great job.
Best $20 I’ve spent in a long time!
Good Morning Gloucester
