My View of Life on the Dock
While the skies raged outside, it was a peaceful, beautiful night inside the Legion for the first night of St. Peter’s Novena. This year’s Altar depicts St. Peter as Captain of the vessel “Novena” carrying all into safe harbors. VIVA San Pietro!

On Wednesday, June 13th, Lindsay Crouse and Jennie Israel, stars of the Gloucester Stage Company’s current production “Dancing with Lughnasa” were guests of the Margery Eagan and Jared Bowen BPR show, recorded at the WGBH Boston Public Library studio. “We had a great time on BPR on Wednesday! The interview is in the 1pm-2pm hour of the show. Lindsay’s husband Rick took some terrific behind the scenes photos. The link to the broadcast is below.”
Enjoy!

Gloucester Fishermen Youth Soccer team, the Tridents, won the championship in the Essex County Youth Soccer Association’s Championship Tournament in MTOC 1. They are the top boys’ division for grades 5 and 6. “Next up for the Tridents: representing Essex County in the statewide Tournament of Champions this Saturday.”

Currently, dogs are not allowed on the beach from May 1st to September 30th. The PiPl volunteer monitor core group, Dave Rimmer from Greenbelt, Ken Whittaker, who is Gloucester’s conservation agent, and Mass Wildlife’s John Regosin all agree that dogs should not be allowed on Good Harbor Beach beginning April 1st, but that it would be safe for Piping Plover fledglings and other migrating shorebirds for dogs to return after September 15th.
This new suggested time frame will allow birds to nest with far less interruption, shorebirds will nest earlier in the season (which will help with the chicks survival rate), and the chicks will be stronger by the time Good Harbor fills with summer crowds. This is a very logical and simple solution. Disallowing dogs on Massachusetts coastal beaches where shorebirds are nesting, beginning April 1st, is quite common. Allowing them to return after September 15, and in many cases after September 30th, is also very common. For Piping Plovers and other nesting shorebirds, protecting their habitat and sharing the shore is a matter of life and death.

Our Nine-day-old Piping Plover Little Pip and Mama
The 2018 winter storms exposed an expansive and blindingly obvious glacial outcropping by the footbridge side of Good Harbor Beach near the piping plover enclosure. In 2017 the feature was something more than a rock and I don’t mean scale. After two severe thunderstorms on July 8, 2017, one chick remained and the family acted strange. One of the parent plovers perched atop that rock for my entire shift, seemingly in mourning. The rock was a sheltering spot and helpful monitor landmark which it still is this year. This summer the rock revealed itself like a tip of an iceberg, and made Good Harbor Beach resemble a bit of Wingaersheek.
Here are a few Before (2017) and After (2018) comparisons. The photographs illustrate how much dry sand disappeared and how the beach was basically scrubbed of any scrub.
he’s 6′ to give you idea of scale

Good Morning Joey,
One out of seven children are being raised by grandparents and extended family.
The top two reasons are because parents are struggling with drug addiction and/ or
domestic violence. As you can imagine for most grandparents this is extremely challenging,
emotionally, physically and financially. With the support of several local organizations,
Cape Ann YMCA, Pathways, Senior Care, Open Door, and many more we were able to initiate
a support group on Monday nights , 6pm-7:15pm for grandparents . It is drop-in, free, confidential
and the YMCA provides free childcare.
I have attached our flyer in hopes that you will post on “Good Morning Gloucester” and your regular calendar
and of course anywhere else you think is appropriate. Thank you so much for your continuing support
for our community.
Best regards,
Daphne Congelosi
Good Morning Gloucester
