Meat and Sweets Foods are donating 100% of proceeds from their bean saleโs tomorrow.
More importantly- Scotties health. Today Scottie had a friend by his side and at one point, even though heavily sedated he spoke for the first time- “BL, get me the fuck out of here.”
Still waiting on more testing, Scottie is being taken to a neurologist. His girlfriend Alison and Aunt Terry have tickets to head to Jamaica in the morning.
The Better Together Venmo account has raised $35,000 at this point and the Bank account should be in very good shape.
Testing is needed to confirm that Scottie is in a good enough condition to be transferred via med flight to the US. Estimates for the med flight to Miami are coming in at $23,000, and if to Boston $45,000. Currently the family has set up an account at Cape Ann Savings Bank check’s payable to Scottie’s Aunt’s Name “Theresa Bunker” with Scott MacDonald in the memo line.
Cape Ann Savings Bank 109 Main Street Gloucester MA.
This is a tremendous hardship on the family as you can imagine and I know so many people love and support Scottie as he has been such a huge part of our community and always there for so many local organizations and businesses.
Please keep Scottie and his family in your prayers what is needed now is all the positive energy and political will to keep the spotlight on getting Scottie home safely and in good health.
This post has been put together in conjunction with Scottie’s family including his Girlfriend Alison, Father Bernie, Mother Nita, Sister Tammy and Aunt Theresa.

5 MAIN STREET, ROCKPORT, MASSACHUSETTS, 01966
SATURDAY, JAN. 14, 2-4 PM
JOIN US FOR A COMPLIMENTARY WINE TASTING WITHย STEVE SCHRAM, PORTFOLIO MANAGER OF GREEK WINES, HOGSHEAD WINE CO.
2021 Monemvasia Laludi, Peloponnese
Varietal :Moschofilero Alc.13%
The label, influenced by Greek folkloric art, as well 20th-century modernist painters like Greek Expressionist and Cubist artist Yiannis Moralis, seeks to express โthe connection to the land, the sharpness of the landscape, the intense sun and the wildly aromatic, seductive, and flowery tone of the wine.โ Laludi comes from the word โLas,โ which was one of the most ancient towns of Ladedaimonia, eventually called the Mani Peninsula. The root โLasโ is still present in the modern Greek language, and this wine aspires to describe with its aromas, the qualities of this historic land. The vineyards grow on a 700-mountain plateau in Arkadia, in central east Peloponnese. Expect jasmine, rose-petal, and mouth watering citrus, with a mineral packed backbone.
Pairs well with Asian-inspired cuisine. $19 .99
Edanos Aegialia 2021, Aegialia,Peloponnese
Varietal: Malagousia Alc.12.5%
Edanos is a family winery founded in 1975 by George Ligdopoulos, with vineyards growing upwards of 800 meters, on mountainous slopes in eastern Aegialia, in the village of Kalamias. Itโs run by the second generation of estate growers and winemakers who also source grapes from neighboring growers. Edanos is just across a mountain ridge and to the east of Tetramythos, and the Tetramythos winemaker, Panayiotis Papayiannopoulos, consults on all their wines. The varietal Malagousia is quintessentially the gateway white to all things expected in white Greek wines; lovely and accessible with stone fruit, and peach in particular, wrapped within a lively acidity thanks to the cool climate and the breezes of the Corinthian gulf. Organically made from grapes grown in limestone soils, and fermented in stainless steel, with the result being a brilliantly aromatic and fresh white wine.
Pairs well with sushi, shellfish, and roasted beet salad. $17 .99
Tetramythos Roditis 2020, Patras, Peloponnese
Varietal: Roditis Alc.12.5%
From two brothers, Aristides and Stathis Spanos, and winemaker Panayiotis Papayiannopoulos, the wines from Tetramythos, located in the mountains of northwestern Peloponnese, are organic, with the intent to express the unique terroir of Aigaleias. The vineyards rise to elevations of 1,000 meters, providing a brilliant diurnal shift, which ensures wonderful aromatics, taut tension, and the purity of grace. The wines from Tetramythos are made from free-run juice, are unexpectedly affordable, and as the brothers practice biodynamic practices, the white wines are harvested, pressed, and bottled on flower days, and the reds on fruit days. Roditis is made from limestone soils, and is deliciously characterized by white fruit and citrus, and lovely acidity. A quintessential food wine, both refreshing and pure, with a hint of salinity, and a delicate herbaceous nuance.
Pairs well with rich roast chicken, glazed lentils rich with herbs. $14 .99
TetramythosAgiorgitiko2021, Patras, Peloponnese
Varietal: Agiorgitiko Alc.13%
With fruit coming from a single vineyard situated upwards of 700 meters, this is an Agiorgitiko intensely aromatic on the nose, with violet, cherry and a little raspberry and spiced plum. that combines both fresh and mature elements. Velvety and soft mouth sense with intensity and elegance, a delicious and fruit forward rendition of this noble grape. An incredible value.
Pairs well with lamb shanks with red sauce, roasted vegetables. $ 14.99
Vaeni Naoussa Xinomavro 2018, Naoussa, Macedonia
Varietal: Xinomavro Alc.12.5%
Vaeni Winery, located in Episkopi, just outside the appellation of Naoussa, is one of the most highly progressive and powerful wine producing co-operatives in Greece. The co-operative counts 200 experienced vine growers who are driven by their profound love for quality wines. That vital human factor, combined with the use of advanced technology, can guarantee the quality of the wine. By definition, Vaeni appellation Naoussa wines are made with 100% Xinomavro, an indigenous variety dominating northern Greece. Vaeni vinifies 50% of wine production in Naoussa, and organic practices ensure integrity and polish in the wine, which offers harmonious and well-structured tannins, earthy and fruit forward aromatics, a warm mouth sense, balanced acidity, red fruits, and a hint of spice and forest floor. A lighter style of red with characteristics similar to Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo. Well-structured and easy to drink, and equally tempting with food.
Pairs well with spanakopita, seared pork loin. $14 .99

Thursday evening update:
Scottie is still heavily sedated to make sure there is no stress on his brain or spine. CT scans were inconclusive today but will be retaken tomorrow morning.
A huge outpouring of financial support from the community through the Venmo link posted below and administered through the 501c by Patty and Ed Wall has raised 20,000. In addition Warren Waugh and the Lyon Waugh auto group has provided a huge financial assistance to the family. Cape Ann Savings Bank has been wonderful taking in the donations to Scottieโs family at all locations as well.
Scottieโs family and friends are incredibly thankful for the outpouring of support. A special thanks to Scottieโs family, Girlfriend Alison, Stephanie Tashjy, Chris McCarthy, Pat Keating, Senator Tarrโs office, Seth Moulton office who have all been pulling every lever and exhausting every option to get Scottie SAFELY home. The key is to get conclusive reports that he is stable enough to transport. We appreciate all the local businesses that are offering to hold fund raisers and collect money for the family. Scottie is far from out of the woods. There are some businesses that are offering 100% of the proceeds to Scottieโs family such as Cape Ann Lanes. This Sunday.

His condition is currently not clear until testing takes place.

The Jamiacan tourism Board has also been responsive in confirming Scottie’s location at the hospital.
Costly testing is needed to confirm that Scottie is in a good enough condition to be transferred via med flight to the US. Estimates for the med flight to Miami are coming in at $23,000, and if to Boston $45,000.
