I can’t even explain how awesome BossJock is for recording, editing and exporting podcast files. I paid $10 for it. It was the most expensive app I’ve ever bought and truth be told after having used it and seeing just how incredibly useful it is I would pay five times that amount if I had to replace it because it’s that good. It is for Apple iOS devices.
Right now it’s on sale for half off in the iTunes store. That’s $4.99 and that my friends is a steal if you are doing any type of podcasting.
A great tutorial demonstrating just how easy it is-
Here’s my demo too-
I bet Steve Winslow from Healthy Gloucester had his fingerprints all over this initiative. KT, am I right?

Greetings,
I can’t find call letters or abbreviations for Gloucester.
Rockport is RPT
OGUNQUIT IS OGT
MARBLEHEAD IS MHD
Does Gloucester have an abbreviation?
Thanks,

Thank you for supporting Relay For Life of Cape Ann!
Announcing big changes for 2015 Relay For Life!
As chairs of this year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Cape Ann, we would like to thank everyone for their generosity and support. Twenty teams joined in this year’s Relay For Life and raised over $46,000 to help save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Despite the rain, there were smiles on everyone’s faces and we were so proud that Cape Ann was “United to Finish the Fight.”
We would like to thank the many Relay For Life volunteers, committee members, and teams who worked to make this year’s event a success. Our committee members were Nicole Bauke, Lorinda Canty, Carol Clark, Kathy Golemon, Brenda Leahy, Dan Leahy, Suzanne Leathers, Jane Noble, Paul Richards, Sam Santuccio, Donna Saunders, Audie Tarr and Lisa Zellenka. Their tireless efforts were invaluable.
Our top fundraising teams were:
· Family Ties $12,678
· Friends for Friends $7,112
· Christians for a Cure
(First Baptist Church) $6,642.43
· Rockin’ For a Cure $4,838.61
· Heaven Can Wait $4,149
Our top fundraising individuals were:
· Dexter Murray $4,935
· Jonathan Pratt $4,250
· Cindy Antonuk $2,539.53
· Suzanne Leathers $2,116.29
· Lisa Zellenka $1,983
We certainly want to thank our corporate sponsors: Dunkin Donuts; Addison Gilbert Hospital, a member of Lahey Health; Pratty’s C.A.V.; Cape Ann Sportsman’s Club; Vadala Real Estate; Amcomm Wireless and Proteus Industries for their support which made all of this possible.
The following businesses donated goods and/or services and/or hosted fundraising events for our teams: Elk’s Club at Bass Rocks, Mike’s Pizza, Azorean, Gloucester Rentals, Jalapeno’s, Cruiseport , Shaw’s, Stop & Shop, Cape Ann Coffees, City of Gloucester – DPW, Cape Ann Lanes, AGH Dining Services, Market Basket, Donut Jim’s, Audrey’s Flowers, Russell’s Florists, Magnolia Library, Domino’s, Magnolia House of Pizza, La Rosa’s/Nonni’s, Poseidon’s, and Leonardo’s, Yellow Sub and Jenny-Cakes. Our thanks to local media for promoting the Relay and our fundraisers: Good Morning Gloucester, Gloucester Daily Times, The Cape Ann Beacon and The Bridge.
The 2015 Relay For Life will be a new and exciting one for Cape Ann! We will be moving to the newly renovated Burnham’s Field in downtown Gloucester and changing the timeframe to allow more people to participate. The 2015 Relay For Life of Cape Ann will be Saturday, June 20 from 12:00 noon to 10:00 p.m., ending with the Luminaria ceremony. It is our hope that the extended daytime hours, move to a weekend day and elimination of overnight hours will allow more people to participate. We invite all in the community to come out to celebrate, remember and fight back with us next June at Burnham’s Field!
We are in the process of putting together our event leadership team for 2015. Many exciting changes are in store for 2015 making it easier for more people to become involved in Relay For Life. If you would like to help make next year’s event an even bigger success and work toward the time we no longer hear the words “you have cancer,” please contact Darlene Riley at driley4194@yahoo.com.
We’ll be planning a fun event in late fall to kick off the 2015 Relay season… look for more info soon!
Sincerely,
Darlene Riley and Kate Golemon

Now in its sixth year, the Seafood Throwdown is coming back to Cape Ann Farmers Market Thursday from 4 – 6 p.m. at Stage Fort Park. This unique cooking competition brings local chefs, fisheries advocacy organizations, local food vendors, and food advocates together to talk about why local seafood should matter to us.
The two teams going knife-to-knife at this year’s Seafood Throwdown are Chef Paolo Laboa and his sous chef Mercedes Flaving vs. Chef Rosalie Harrington. This year the audience will make up a couple of seats at the judge’s table, so you want to be there! Peter Van Ness of gimmesound.com will be the emcee.
“Community based, family owned fishing businesses are facing the same challenges as family farmers: consolidation of their industry, loss of access of working waterfronts and farms, lack of a fair price, and inability to compete in the political landscape with their industrial counterparts,” said Niaz Dorry, coordinating Director of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance. “For six years, Seafood Throwdowns have given us the opportunity to bring these issues to the public who already cares about who grows their lettuce, makes their butter, and raises their beef. We believe they need to care as much about who catches their fish, and how it ends up on their plates.”
Chef Laboa and Flavin will be representing the restaurant formerly known as Alchemy and the site of their new venture, which is opening this fall on Duncan Street in Gloucester. The restaurant will feature Northern Italian cuisine, including Paolo’s own signature pesto, which won the 2008 Pesto Championship in Italy. Mercedes Flavin, his wife, comes from a long dynasty of Flavin’s who have operated multiple restaurants on Cape Ann.
Rosalie Harrington operated her restaurant, “Rosalie’s” in Marblehead, for nearly twenty-five years. Rosalie was one of the original hosts on the Food Network after hosting cooking shows on Boston TV. And, it was no mystery to writers like Robert Parker with his “Looking for Rachel Wallace” and “Spenser For Hire” series where the best Italian food in Boston could be found: Marblehead. Rosalie now concentrates on her catering business.
The Seafood Throwdown is a collaboration between Cape Ann Farmer’s Market, the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance (NAMA) and the Gloucester Fishermen’s Wives Association and their Community Supported Fishery project Cape Ann Fresh Catch. Seafood Throwdowns started here in 2008 and now spread up to Canada, down the east coast and up the west coast. NAMA partners with local communities to host Seafood Throwdowns in order to promote the ecological and social benefits of locally caught seafood, the impact of local fishing fleet on the local economy, and role of seafood in our food systems.
“We’re glad to see Cape Ann Fresh Catch Community Supported Fishery back at the market this year,” said Niki Bogin, Cape Ann Farmers Market manager. “Featuring seafood at the farmers market has been our priority from the beginning as it’s such a big part of Gloucester’s history, culture and economic well being.”
Cape Ann Farmers Market is held every Thursday from 3 – 6:30 through October 9th. Always plenty of FREE parking right across the street on Market days. Seafood Throwdown is a free event and begins at 4pm.

Devils Island 2: Rogue is the follow up to the 2012 film Devils Island. Again written and directed by GHS Social Studies teacher Shaun Goulart, the sequel picks up where the first one left off. DI2 has many recurring roles mostly played by Gloucester natives as well as some new local faces.
SYNOPSIS:
When Jeffrey Taylor (Nick Decoulos) has discovered his wife has gone missing, he goes to the extremes to find her, even meeting up with an old nemesis in Trent Goodrich (Shaun Goulart). Taylor is accompanied in his efforts by his best friend Scott (Bobby Hopkins), Detective Ellis (Frank Militello), Sheriff Jackson (Frank Develis) and a disgruntled police officer (Bo Cleary).
Due out in 2015.
A SPECIAL THANKS:
Bob Tibert and the Rockport Police Dept, Chief Leonard Campanello and the Gloucester Police Dept, Lisa Smith and Cape Ann TV, Paul St. Germain and the Thacher Island Association and all the rest of the locations for donating their time and space. And a very special thank you as well to the cast and crew for volunteering their time and making the project a success, it couldn’t have been possible without their efforts.

Hi Joey
Justin Desilva’s 20 part work of art is titled, Every Picture Tells A Story. His crosswalk art enlarges and interprets HarborWalk story moment content through a combination of digital paintings that he’s printed and combined with long stretches of color field painted sky.
Here’s one by the Gloucester Lyceum & Sawyer Free library for the Samuel Sawyer story moment #31, an abstraction of the exterior and trees.
