The Fed cut rates last week and we have been busy refinancing existing clients into lower rates!
by prattbrandon
Brandon Pratt writes:
We want to save as much money for people for the upcoming holiday season. Refinancing can create not only lower payments, but cash flow too. A lot of times we can roll in two mortgage payments into the refinance itself. This comes in very handy for the holidays and especially when prices seem to go nothing but up. Refinancing makes your payments go down and can create some convenient cash flow too. Contact me today to learn more.

| GLOUCESTER — The Gloucester Police Department is proud to announce the appointment of Detective Kelly Gossom as the department’s dedicated Domestic Violence Detective, succeeding longtime Domestic Violence Detective Ron Piscitello, who recently retired after years of distinguished service to the community. In this vital role, Detective Gossom will investigate incidents of domestic violence and sexual assault, and serve as a key member of the Investigative Unit, responding on-call to serious crimes throughout the city. Detective Gossom works closely with community-based organizations that provide critical support to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, including Healing Abuse Working for Change (HAWC) and the Coalition for the Prevention of Domestic Abuse, (CPDA) network. Her collaborative approach ensures that victims and their families receive the resources and advocacy they need during difficult times. Demonstrating her initiative and innovation, Detective Gossom is developing a new QR code program that will be placed in both public and private locations across Gloucester. This tool connects individuals in need with immediate access to information and support services for domestic violence and sexual assault. A lifelong Gloucester resident, Detective Gossom holds a B.A. in Criminal Justice and Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and a Master’s degree in Criminology from Salem State University. She continues to live in Gloucester with her family and remains deeply committed to serving her community. “Detective Gossom’s appointment underscores the Gloucester Police Department’s commitment to protecting vulnerable members of our community and holding offenders accountable,” said Chief Edward Conley. “She follows in the footsteps of Detective Ron Piscitello, whose dedication set the foundation for our domestic violence response. We are confident that Detective Gossom’s expertise, compassion, and innovative approach will carry this work forward in meaningful ways.” For more information about services and resources available to victims of domestic violence or sexual assault, please contact the Gloucester Police Department at (978) 283-1212 or visit www.gloucester-ma.gov. |

Preserving Cape Ann’s Ethnic Cultural Heritage | Branded: Gloucester’s Hidden History of Enemy Aliens
The Sawyer Free Library is proud to host Branded: Gloucester’s Hidden History of Enemy Aliens on Saturday, September 27 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. The event will take place in the Library’s (brand new!) Community Room located on the ground floor level.
Join Gloucester native and writer Maria Millefoglie as she uncovers a little-known chapter of local history in her presentation Italian Immigrant: A Story of Allegiance, Loss, and Belonging in World War II.
Drawing on archives, historic newspapers, and community stories, Millefoglie reveals how World War II reshaped Gloucester’s Sicilian and Italian immigrant families. While hundreds of young men proudly enlisted in the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard, others in their households were labeled “enemy aliens,” banned from the waterfront, and stripped of their livelihoods. During this time, the U.S. Navy requisitioned some of Gloucester’s finest fishing vessels for minesweeping and patrol duty, even as German U-boats prowled the Atlantic.
Through storytelling, timelines, and photographs, Millefoglie brings to life the sacrifices of fishermen pressed into naval service, the struggles of families torn between loyalty to their new country and ties to their homeland, and the resilience of women who held households together amid fear and loss.
This presentation not only pays tribute to the past but also offers timely reflections on how history echoes in today’s debates about immigration and belonging.
This event is the first project under Preserving Cape Ann’s Ethnic Cultural Heritage, part of the broader Down the Fort: A Documentary and Archive Project, which works to capture and honor the immigrant and ethnic experiences that have long shaped Cape Ann’s cultural fabric.
Register for the presentation on Library’s calendar at sawyerfreelibrary.org.
The Sawyer Free Library is located at 2 Dale Avenue in Gloucester. For details on all the Library’s services and upcoming programming visit: sawyerfreelibrary.org.

Children’s Hospital Blood Drive
I am organizing a blood drive on October 11th for Boston Children’s Hospital. So many of us on Cape Ann had benefited from the top notch care available at Children’s. We are so fortunate to be so close to this amazing hospital and the doctors and nurses who care for our children. The Bloodmobile will be parked on Railroad Ave next to CrossFit Cape Ann. There’s plenty of parking since Shaw’s is gone.
I would greatly appreciate your spreading the word on Good Morning Gloucester. This is such a great opportunity to give not only a pint of blood but a thank you to Children’s.
