This is “photographically” one of my favorite ships. So glad everyone on board was unharmed.

NEWPORT, R.I. — Rhode Island’s educational tall ship, the Oliver Hazard Perry, lost power Sunday evening and drifted into multiple boats before grounding near Perrotti Park, according to a news release from the Coast Guard’s First District headquarters in Boston.
Station Castle Hill in Newport was providing a safety zone Sunday evening.
The tall ship, whose home port is in Newport, was leaving Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival with a crew of 12 when it lost power, the news release said. The 911 call came in at 6:15 p.m.
Two boats from Castle Hill and personnel from the Narragansett Bay Marine Task Force responded.
No injuries or fuel leaks were reported. The incident is under investigation.
The Oliver Hazard Perry, a 200-foot-long three-masted ship that took eight years to build, was finished in 2015. It’s a modern ship with a steel hull, but it was designed to look like a naval vessel of the early 1800s. It is the largest civilian sailing school vessel in the nation.
Perrotti Park is where passengers from cruise ships are ferried to spend time visiting in Newport.



This past Saturday the Boston Bruins learn-to-skate program, the Bruins Academy, teamed up with Cape Ann Youth Hockey at the Dorothy Talbot Rink in Gloucester for some on the ice instruction and fun.
Some very lucky skaters received, in many cases, their first on-ice lesson, completely decked out in Bruins gear, alongside former Bruin and NHL defenseman, Andrew Alberts.
It was so much fun to watch him skate with the kids. He was beyond phenomenal and played group games like the best of them….while also offering up many special one-on-one moments to wobbly first timers.
My favorite moment of the day? Watching Andrew Alberts give his undivided attention to a tiny one who had fallen and had absolutely no idea of how to get up. I hope the video footage finds its way to this little one’s parents as his potential skating career unfolds so they can look back and laugh at how it all began….on the ice at Talbot Rink…with a Boston Bruin cheering him along. See video below.
A huge “thank you” to the Boston Bruins, the Bruins Academy, and the Cape Ann Youth Hockey volunteers who worked together to make this a huge success.

Probably not how he expected to start his morning today……….
The O’Maley school facilities were getting a workout on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Flag football outside:
Even the dogs were getting into the spirit of the game. I think he’s got your flag, buddy!

Inside, at the rink, the little ‘uns had time on the ice. These guys are around 6-7 years old, so we’ll be seeing them in on the high school teams in about 10 years. More future of ice hockey for the Gloucestermen! Quite an inspiration for me, who cannot skate on blades or wheels!
It’s very nice to see the available fields and facilities put to such good use. Kudos to all those accompanying parents that make the dream come true for their children.

Generous donors rally for breast cancer awareness.
In honor of breast cancer awareness month, Miles for Meatballs today raised a whopping $4,700.00 for breast cancer!!! The event was hosted by Mayor Sefatia, Tonno’s Chef Anthony Caturano, and Warren Waugh of Lyon-Waugh Auto Group. The Miles for Meatballs event began with a scenic tour around Cape Ann in luxury cars from the very generous Warren Waugh. The drive was followed by a fabulous late afternoon dinner at Tonno. Chef Anthony prepared his famous homemade meatballs and sausage with zugu/gravy, served over the creamiest polenta you can imagine. The homestyle, yet elegant dinner was accompanied by an outstanding Caesar salad and delicious cannolis. Every Sunday Chef Anthony serves a traditional meatball and zugu/gravy Sunday family dinner and I know where we will be having dinner next Sunday!

01:26:25 Crows are driving Kate mad. online suggestions for getting rid of crows- cut down all the trees, shoot,them. Neither are gonna happen in our neighborhood. Person online advises to review your own attitude toward the crows, suggesting that if they irritate you then you get more mad, the more mad you get, the more irritated you become. I was sitting home for a half hour and never noticed the crows until Kate mentioned them, but during that time span that’s all she could think about.
Pat Dalpiaz reports- Happy Belly plus Serenitee card = truly happy belly. Lunch there this week was GREAT
