Annual Inspection for the Gloucester Sea Cadets
Congratulations to the David G. Ouellet Division of the US Navy Sea Cadet Corps for an outstanding annual inspection.
As many of you may know, I am beyond proud that my older son, Thatcher, is a first year League Cadet in the Gloucester Division of the US Navy Sea Cadets. So, I was beyond pleased to be in attendance to observe Regional Director, LCDR Landry as he inspected the division yesterday morning at the Gloucester Coast Guard Station.
He had many complementary things to say about the division and their growth, development, camaraderie, and more. He also noted that they have grown from the smallest in numbers to the 3rd largest division in the region.
They really are a very impressive group…due to their incredible leadership.
Lead Petty Officer, Ryan Litch, received an award from the VFW. In fact, this award was the first of its kind awarded to any member of the Ouellet Division. The award was presented to him by Commander Brian O’Connor, Senior Vice CMDR John Ellis, and Junior Vice CMDR Bill Ellis. LPO Litch was also presented with the Cadet of the Year award by Gen Guimond from the Massachusetts Council of the Navy League. My son, as one of the youngest of the Navy League Cadets, looks up to Lead Petty Officer Litch more than he may ever know.
My family, and many others, are incredibly thankful to the US Navy Sea Cadets in general, most particularly the David G. Ouellet Division and its leaders, instructors, and volunteers for all that they do, embody, and share with the cadets in their care.

Familiar places through a new lens
My crystal ball has given me another outlet for my photography in that what you “see” through CB is a world turned upside down. And sometimes, that’s quite beautiful in its own way.
Good Harbor Beach: you probably recognize this landscape even upside down
Kent Circle: the old red, white and blue looks great either way (not a distress call!)
One crystal ball, twin lighthouses
Goose Cove Reservoir
As beautiful as Gloucester is, it’s added value to put a new lens on to view it through different eyes.

Hi Joey I know people must be pretty sick of the snow after the past 3 northeasters but there is a certain beauty to freshly fallen snow when the sun comes out the day after the storm.

Heidi —
Our regional chapters help us stay connected with each municipality across the state. One of our newest chapters, MassBike North Shore, is focused on connecting local communities to improve the cycling experience for all through advocacy and education. In order to make this happen the goals of the group are:
- To set up regional communication channels to state and local governments to advocate for cycling
- To create a resource group that will be available to respond to circumstances in a manner that is both proactive (public hearings, meetings, education, events, etc.) and responsive (crashes, road repairs, policy issues, etc.)
- To foster and grow events that identify connections and infrastructure around the region as well as to celebrate the victories as they come
- To create a forum for local groups to network with other groups to develop successful advocacy strategies
Please join us at Atomic Cafe in Beverly, MA on Sunday 3/18 at 3 PM for updates and information from MassBike North Shore (MBNS)!
We are looking for anyone who is interested in being involved in education, advocacy and community support in every community on the North Shore. The advisory board for the MBNS will give a brief presentation and then there will be time for open forum discussion as well as networking and socializing. Please join us for an afternoon of community, advocacy and cycling talk!

MASTERWORKS BY HAYDN AND SCHUBERT ON SUNDAY, MARCH 18
The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation hosts a performance of Haydn’s Mass in Time of War, and Schubert’s Magnificat in C on Sunday, March 18 at 3:00 p.m. at the Gloucester Meetinghouse at the corner of Middle and Church Street. Doors open at 2:30; come early for the best seats. The performance features the outstanding Cambridge-based Spectrum Singers, distinguished soloists, and a large orchestral ensemble.
Spectrum Singers Music Director, John Ehrlich, describes the two monumental works. “Haydn’s Mass in Time of War bristles with abundant energy and amazing choral and orchestral effects,” he notes. “The trumpets and tympani are boldly featured, painting the sounds of war that were occurring nearby as Haydn composed the music in 1796. Schubert, whose work bridged the Classical and Romantic periods, is renowned for his treatment of melody and harmony. His Magnificat in C, written when…

After the Fall: A Lesson in Mindfulness
Promoting Optimal Wellness for Mind, Body and Spirit
Happy St Patrick’s Day! Today has me reminiscing about Nor’Easter Riley- derived from ‘Reilly,’ which comes from the Old Irish name Raghailleach.
(Video by Tucker Destino)
‘Sheltering-in-Place’ Nor’Easter Riley brought hurricane-force winds, astronomical tides, record-breaking waves and flooded roads. With flying debris and falling tree limbs, I chose instead to shelter-in-place and watch the 3-day storm unfold on the news and social media. Over the 3 days I watched as people were evacuated to safety, trees fell onto homes and branches through car windshields. Never did I expect during this Nor’Easter that I would end up injured in my own home!
Accidents Often Occur in the Home Despite my efforts to stay home and safe, while home alone I ended up falling down my basement stairs. Late that night my husband was on his way home with a weekend guest. I was distracted and…

ROCK ON R. B. STRONG (LITERALLY!) WORK CONTINUES ON THE NILES POND BRACE COVE CAUSEWAY RESTORATION
The arduous work of rebuilding the Niles Pond Brace Cove causeway continues, despite the mid-week blizzard. I walked the causeway Tuesday night and then again the past several mornings–the pace of the restoration is fantastic and will soon be completed. Many, many thanks to the generous residents of Eastern Point who are striving to keep Niles Pond from being engulfed by the sea.
R. B. Strong’s Larry expertly operates the John Deere excavator, deftly extracting and moving boulders around as if they were pebbles on the shore. The track-hoe not only scoops and lifts the massive rocks, the bucket is also used to tamp down the boulders once in place, as you can see in the video below.
