Gran Prix of Gloucester

Posted on by Fredrik Bodin
As a first time spectator, I was very impressed. Professionally run and organized. The racers are dedicated to what they do.

It was amazing to that these men and women compete, although I was only there for the last race. This guy is was totally engaged with the curve and the course.

This "Cross" is dusty and great event. Our harbor is in the background. Part of the course is to dismount and run your bikes up four or five steps, and then mount up and speed on. What fun!

This huge rock has a bronze tablet recognizing Gloucester's first settlement here in 1623. It's a great spot to go and picnic, and view any activity below. I bet these are mostly locals up there. We love this event.

The finish. The winner was Jeremy Powers of the our Berkshire's Easthampton, Massachusetts. If you think this is a "local race," guess again. It's a USA and World class event. Big bicycling and clothing companies are behind it, and the competitors come from all over the country and the world to compete in these races.

This is Jeremy Powers, 1st place winner. He was surrounded by cameras from various biking media, and of course I barged in. Jeremy was friendly and graceful. He is winner of Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Louisville. Good luck to you all, men and women cyclists, and we hope to see you next year in Gloucester.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, (1835-1910)

image

Best known by his pen name, Mark Twain, Clemens was a giant of American humor and letters. A Missouri native, he had brief careers as a miner and a river boat pilot before his short stories began to receive widespread notice. He was the keenest wit of his age and wrote what many call the greatest of American novels, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885).  Through a series of bad investments he lost all of the money he made from his books and a good deal of his wife’s substantial inheritance, which motivated him to begin many years of international speaking tours. The money from these performances eventually overcame his debt and added to his fame. He was a friend and advisor to presidents, scholars, and scientists, Nicola Tesla chief among them. Born when Halley’s comet was in the sky, he died, as he predicted, when it returned.

Northern Exposure  show at Hall Haskell House September 26 -29.

Scenes of New England surround the walls of the historic Hall Haskell House in Ipswich. Artists Jeannette Steele Esposito and Anne Costello have represented New England in the brilliant colors of the four seasons, both in studio work and plain air paintings.

Esposito, an Ipswich resident, is an artist member of the Rockport and Newburyport Art Associations, she received her training at Kent State University, and has participated in workshops in the US and abroad. Her work can be found at The Clown gallery in York, ME, the Mars Hall gallery in Port Clyde, ME, as well as at Time and Tide and Zenobia in Ipswich.

Costello, a Newburyport resident, is a member of the Rockport and Gloucester Art Associations. She is a retired art teacher, who has continued her study and love of painting in varied media workshops in the US.

Both women are active members of Confetti, a group of artist friends who meet weekly to paint, critique, and travel to art related events. Other members of Confetti include Su Guest McPhail, Cynthia O’Grady and Judy Stover, all of the North Shore. Each of these artists will also be represented at this show.

Esposito has been showing her line of clothing at Olde Ipswich days for a number of years now, she will be displaying a small sampling of her clothing during this event.

The Hall Haskell House is located at 36 S. Main St. Ipswich (rt1A), Gallery hours are Thursday, September 26 through Sunday, September 29, 2013. Daily hours are 12 noon to 5:00pm.

Christopher Godfrey Represents! In Cobscook Bay

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This was recently seen waaaay down east (on Cobscook Bay, actually)!  I wonder… You may label it as you see fit.  Cobscook Bay, by the way, is utterly beautiful!  And those reversing falls: wow!  Not for the timid.  Lubec is a strange little village: the folk must go stir-crazy during winter: all that fog, for one thing!  Top of the morning to you! Christopher

The Happy Couple

Posted on by God's Morning

Susan and don get engaged

Special FOB’s Don from Island Art & Hobby and Susan from Toodleoos stopped into the gallery today and let slip the fact that they had gotten engaged on Tuesday 9/17 on Susan’s 50th birthday.  Don got down on one knee to propose in Newburyport, where they met and had their first kiss – don’t know if both things occurred on the same day.  So sweet and such a great couple.  I always thought they were married, as apparently did many people.  They also just celebrated their 5th anniversary of being together.  Best wishes to both of them.
