SailGHS Launch Their Boats!

Posted on by capeannpainter

The GHS Sailing Team Launched their Boats Sunday Morning in preparation of the 2010 Season. Students, Parents, and Volunteers pitched in to get their Boats in the water. Get down to the State Fish Pier when they are practicing, it’s always fun to see them racing around and practicing their capsizing drills.

Here’s some info from SailGHS Administrator Patti Paige; 

The GHS sailing team is a co-ed team consisting of middle school and high school sailors.  Currently, students from Rockport, Gloucester and home-schooled children participate in the program.  The spring sailing season begins April 5 and runs through May 28.  Fall sailing is held in September and October.  We meet Monday through Thursday from 3:00 pm until 5:30 pm.  We sail in Gloucester harbor and conduct a learn to sail program where inexperienced students sail in Rhodes 19.  More advanced sailors belong to the racing team and sail in Vanguard C-420s.

 
GHS sailng team is a member of the Massachusetts Bay League (MBL) high school sailing organization which is located at the Community Boating Center on the Charles River in Boston, MA.  MBL organizes racing events between local high schools in three divisions. 
 
Anyone interested in sailing with us, students and adults alike, can contact me at either sailghs@yahoo.com or by calling me at 978-283-4676.

Frank LaFrance retires!

From Kristin Michel

At the final GHS home hockey game of the season on Wednesday night, EMT Frank LaFrance will “retire” from his duties.  Many of us have seen Frank at Newell Stadium or Dorothy Talbot Rink carrying his faded orange equipment bag, standing ready to attend to student athletes who may become injured during competitive play.

I have known Frank for several years and had no idea that he was a volunteer.  I was even more surprised when Frank told me how long he had been volunteering.  Frank has been proudly volunteering as an EMT for the GHS varsity football and hockey teams for the past 37 years!

One thing I do know about Frank is that he would never look for recognition, but I am sure you will agree that he certainly deserves it.  Frank has done a tremendous service to our athletes, our schools, and our city.

If you are in the stands on Wednesday night, look across the rink to the left of the American flag and join me in saluting Frank LaFrance for his dedication to our student athletes and his 37 years of service to the City of Gloucester.
