Today’s paper | GHS Field Hockey FINALS BOUND! MIAA Girls North Division 2 tournament 2019 🏑🏑 vs. Lynnfield at Reading 1pm Saturday
Tough loss great season!
Gloucester varsity soccer is out in the first round of the conference series. Lynnfield 1 Gloucester 0. Gloucester Daily Times Nick Curcuru coverage accompanied by Kirk R. Williamson photos here
“…From there, Gloucester adjusted by switching to three strikers. But Lynnfield countered that by bringing back a fifth defender to clog up the passing lanes.
“We knew adding an extra striker would put some extra pressure on their defense,” Marnoto said. “And it did but they added an extra defender and when they won the ball they got it out wide. That gave them time to regroup and kept us from getting into our shape.” Both goal keepers were also a factor.” – Nick Curcuru excerpt

Discovery Channel ‘Expedition Unknown’ host Josh Gates is from Manchester by the Sea | don’t miss Billy Baker’s gem of a ‘secret’ story Boston Globe
excerpt –
“…Then early last year, “Expedition Unknown,” a television show on the Discovery Channel, did a special on “The Secret” that set off a new frenzy of treasure hunters.
“I’ve been making travel adventure shows for 10 years, and I’ve never seen anything like the reaction to that show,” said Josh Gates, the show’s host, who is a Tufts grad and a native of Manchester-by-the-Sea. “So many people contacted me, and a lot of them were from the Boston area because it’s long been believed that one of them was hidden there.”
The Krupat children, 12-year-old Molly and 10-year-old Jack, saw the episode and called their parents into the room, knowing this would be right up their father’s alley. Jason Krupat makes his living as a puzzle and game designer. Soon, the family began making weekend trips into the city to work on what had come to be known as “the Boston verse.”
Great read. Hidden treasure, a family’s quest, and ‘The Secret’ by Billy Baker Boston Globe, here.

Treat not trick – fantastic massage at Luna Day Spa #GloucesterMA
Thanks to a generous spa gift package, I was lucky to book a relaxing and therapeutic massage with Julie at Luna Day Spa in Gloucester this Halloween. Before this terrific massage I was feeling a bit of shooting pain down my leg and was barely able put a sock on my right foot. What a treat to leave feeling so much relief! Plus I’m grateful they honored an old gift certificate with no hassle whatsoever. Luna Day Spa is located at 33 Bass Avenue (across from Sullivan Tire)

Beautiful New Balance Field / Newell Stadium and O’Maley grounds #GloucesterMA public schools
Wish my phone captured the surreal beauty of the fishing boats floating past the field goal, heading to the cut. Prettiest stadium for spectators in Massachusetts.
Picturesque setting and buffer slope designed like natural amphitheater for the track and field at O’Maley. The track needs work and the field needs filling/leveling of some troubling holes. To left out of field of view: ball fields and booster funded snack bar shed and restrooms (could be open – gross to see teams head to the trees straight from the bus)
Elementary school campuses are lovely, too. Snapshots of a few:

Beat the clock | adding sand to shore up Long Beach and seawall
The next phase of coastal storm repairs continue on Long Beach. This past week crews began adding sand, “beach nourishment”, atop the rip rap. The staging is on the Gloucester end while the first deposits are far off by the pedestrian bridge to Cape Hedge. The ocean hits the seawall a couple of hours before high tide so the work moves at a fast clip.
I overheard someone ask, “Why not wait till spring?” Sand moves and winter storms shift the terrain mightily. They explained that it’s intentional and this sand will come back.
Seems a sisyphean task at two hours before high tide. (below about half hour before)
