Elder Abuse Awareness Rally

trixy546's avatarCape Ann Community

June is World Elder Abuse Awareness Month and June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. SeniorCare Inc. and several non-profit and civic organizations are holding special events throughout the North Shore to increase awareness of this growing issue in our society.

10,000 people turn 65 in the US every day. This trend is going to continue for the next 20 years. Our demographics are shifting, and we now have more elder people in the US than ever before.

Beach Sticka!

Our first beach sticker arrived! We ordered by mail and it was made very easy with online directions at the City website and the application can be found here: 2019 Beach Sticker Mail In Application  See you on the beach!

FIRST LOOK – OUR GOOD HARBOR BEACH PIPNG PLOVER CHICKS (ALL FOUR!) HATCHED!!!

Only hours-old, our Good Harbor Beach Piping Plover chicks were learning to navigate the varied terrain–climbing mini hummocks, falling into divots, somersaulting, tripping over dried bits of beach grass and seaweed, running for short bits, and just generally stumbling and tumbling. In one photo you can even see a chick already eating a tiny ant. After an afternoon of exploring, all four seemed pretty tuckered out and were taking turns snuggling under both Mama and Papa. 

Weighing about as much as a nickel at the time of hatching, Piping Plover chicks are able to feed themselves but are unable to regulate their body temperature. They need to tuck under Mom and Dad to warm up.

“American Landscape Photography: Art as Storytelling” offers an engaging exploration of canonical and lesser-known photographs depicting the American landscape from the invention of photography through the present.

Artists discussed will include Carleton Watkins, Ansel Adams, and Esther Pullman, among others.
