Missing Cat

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

My name is Katie and I was wondering if you could post about my missing cat please.
He wen missing around 6/17, we let him out as usual and we think either someone was nice enough to take him in because they thought he was a stray, or he just couldn’t find his way home. He is about 2 years old, is mostly black on his back, white underneath, has a black nose and chin, his face is mostly white except for where his eyes are, and his eyes are a yellowish green color. We just want him back home, please have someone call or email Katie at ktbilodeau@gmail.com or try my cell 1-978-879-7381.

Nelson Rolihlala Mandela Quote Of The Week

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

“There is no passion to be found playing small ― in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”

Nelson Rolihlala Mandela (1918-    )

image

Born into a family of royal counselors of the Xhosa people of South Africa’s Cape Province, Mandela, whose given name Rolihlala means “troublemaker”, was called Nelson by his British influenced teachers only when he began to attend school. He studied law and later joined the African National Congress rising to the presidency of its youth league in 1947. Later a member of the ANC’s executive council he was arrested and jailed numerous times culminating in his conviction for treason and his incarceration from 1962 to 1990. Even from prison his example and leadership helped overthrow the whites-only government, and he is credited with ending apartheid without the widely expected bloodbath. In the first South African election in which blacks were allowed to vote he was elected President and served in that role from 1994 to 1999, overseeing policies of national reconciliation and reconstruction. Described as the father of South African democracy, Mandela has in recent years served as counselor and elder statesman, receiving multiple international recognitions including the Medal of Freedom (US), the Order of Canada, and the Order of Merit (UK). He is currently hospitalized and in failing health.

Fiesta on Thursday From Fred Bodin

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

It’s 7:30 pm, the rain has stopped, and I’m venturing up the street to Fiesta-Land. When I come back to the gallery, I’ll try to post a few of the photos. Jalapenos next door is "a F’in log jam" as I overheard from one guy walking by. All of the restaurants are busy.

Big presence of the Essex County Sheriff’s Department, who were camped out on the traffic island at the intersection of Washington, Main, and Rogers Streets. One of the officers invited me to post a photo on the agency’s FB Page as he pointed to the star on the side of their vehicle. I told him they could also send their own post to me. All in good fun! I bet they’ll find this photo. Nice people.

An overall view on the way out. Law enforcement everywhere. Not busy tonight, but they will be, especially Saturday night.

Good morning Joey–
Would you post info on GoodMorningGloucester about the GSF Youth-on-Water program?
Info is available at: http://gloucesterschoonerfestival.net/?p=324
The application is available at: http://gloucesterschoonerfestival.net/doc/13-YouthApplication.pdf
The deadline for youth organizations to apply is August 1.

Youth On Water
With an eye toward the future, as well as the past, the Gloucester Schooner Festival Committee is seeking to support programs that involve young people on Cape Ann. This past year, the Committee chose to institutionalize the educational component of the Festival by providing opportunities for kids to sail on the participating schooners, as well as offering financial support to local programs that put Cape Ann kids on the water throughout the year.  Specifically, the Committee selected two organizations that foster greater knowledge and appreciation of Cape Ann’s coastal waters by providing opportunities for young people to sail, row or otherwise become immersed in our ocean environment. Two grants of $1,500 were awarded in 2012. Leading up to this year’s Festival, we will again raise funds, beyond the costs of producing the Gloucester Schooner Festival weekend, and offer similar support to youth-on-the-water organizations to be used in their 2014 season. To apply for these funds, please complete the attached application and submit by August 1, 2013.

Thanks very much!!
