I wonder if you can help me find someone from Gloucester that I knew back in 1975. I met Jack O’Hanley when he and his then wife Kathy Schubeck and I went to work for the Trustees of Reservations at the Cornelius & Mine Crane Wildlife Refuge in Ipswich / Essex. I was appointed as the “resident ranger” and Kathy was the naturalist. Jack and Kathy would come to Hog (aka -Choate) Island every weekend and stay at the residence where I lived for five months. What a summer we had. Jack was such a character and cooked up a storm. He loved his beer, and the brand I cannot recall.
I hope you can shed some light on my quest, afterall, it’s only been 50 years………….
Best Regards, Neil Courtney, Camden Maine

When we return home after a trip, we often like to make our first meal back somewhere comfortable and welcoming. There are several favorites in that category, but most recently we stopped at 525 Magnolia on Lexington Ave. I had one of the specials seafood scampi and Jim ordered fish and chips. The scampi was particularly appetizing as well as delicious. Jim brough home half his fish and finished it the next day. We are unfailingly welcomed like old friends and consistently served wonderfully satisfying food. It’s a win win.

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic and progressive condition that damages the nerves in the brain and spinal cord, resulting in the loss of function in various muscles and body parts. People with this disease often experience difficulty with speech and muscle coordination, as well as blurred vision and extreme fatigue. Research indicates that CBD may significantly alleviate symptoms related to MS, possibly even reversing symptoms and offering protection against the progression of MS. Utilizing CBD could assist in regaining control of muscles, leading to an improved quality of life.

Fun day on Monday. I know people will wonder why I like the snow, but since I find it pretty and cleansing, had to go out and play. Thank you, Rick, for photo taking. Snow blowing is not as easy as it looks. Then decided to get my beach chair out to get ready for the summer.

‘deborah quinan | where color breathes’
from March 6-29
with an Opening Reception on Saturday March 7th 2026 from 2:00-4:00pm.
Quinan writes:
“I paint loosely from intuition, finding joy in the discovery of layers of color coming together to form a cohesive whole. I enjoy the freedom to explore paints, color and composition without having to worry about incorporating objects in the painting; and if I do, abstraction gives me permission to render those objects in a new and unique way.”
The artist has exhibited extensively in both Boston and the North Shore and is a affiliated with several established art organizations. Recent travels include a painting retreat in Provence, France. Quinan maintains studios in Swampscott, MA and North Sandwich NH. Contact dquinanart@gmail.com .

Print and share flyer! Wadia Ells and SFL present a reminder about the upcoming talk Thursday Feb 26, 2026
Cancer as a Metabolic Disease Why More Younger Women Are Developing Breast Cancer
Thursday Feb 26, 2026 5- 6:30 pm Sawyer Free Library, Gloucester, MA
Is cancer a haphazard genetic disease that still appears to be poorly understood by the cancer industry? Or is cancer actually a metabolic disease, created by logical biological conditions? If so, what is causing so much more breast cancer in younger women today?
Dr. Susan Wadia-Ells, author of Busting Breast Cancer: Five Simple Steps to Keep Breast Cancer out of Your Body, will discuss this critical question at the Sawyer Free Library on Thursday February 26, 5-6:30pm.
Wadia-Ells, a Manchester, by the Sea resident, is an investigative journalist with a background in political economy and women’s studies. In 2008, continuing to lose too many friends to metastatic breast cancer, she founded the National Breast Cancer Prevention Project to fund her research, while also writing the “Honest Health” column for the Gloucester Daily Times.
