MR. SWAN AND THE “NEW GIRL” UPDATE
First off, I have to say, we don’t know if the new swan is a male or female. We are all hoping she is a female, for obvious reasons, and too because as the swan gets older, if a male, Mr. Swan will most likely chase a “him” off the pond.
The young swan paddles back and forth on the far side of the pond, along the reeded edge.
Lyn Fonzo, Niles Pond resident, shares that the young swan is becoming increasingly tolerant of Mr. Swan, although she is still extremely shy and skittish. When Lyn feeds the swans in the morning, they are feeding adjacent to each other, which is a huge improvement from only a few days ago when she refused to come out from amongst the reeds.

Looking forward to Monday to see the parade of sail on the Lady Jillian.

Do you love whale watching? Cape Ann Whale Watch is looking for volunteers for this fall.
Who?
Cape Ann Whale Watch, in Gloucester, is looking for a 2-3 local volunteers who would be available through October to join us onboard as educators on our trips. (September trips are 1:00 during the week, and 8:30 and 1:30 on the weekends. October is 10:00 every day.)
What?
We educate passengers about marine life around the Gulf of Maine as well as to foster a sense of environmental awareness, respect and responsibility. You don’t need any previous experience, although enjoying whale watching is important. We will train you onboard.
When?
We are looking for 2-3 people that can commit to 2 days a week.
What Would You Do?
Educators circulate the boat with hands-on teaching tools to educate the public about whales and their environment (such as a sample of whale baleen or a 3-D model of Stellwagen Bank). Once the actual whale watching begins, educators help collect data on whale behavior and identification for our research. Our volunteers also are available to answer passengers’ questions on a wide variety of topics–everything from whale behavior to ocean conservation (which you will know many answers too!) If you enjoy it, we would love to call you to fill in in the future as well!
If you are interested:
Please reach out to Jamie or Cynde through the office 978-283-5110:

Reiki (ray-kee) is a gentle Japanese healing art that promotes relaxation and potentially improve comfort and calm, offering emotional and physical benefits while undergoing treatment for cancer. Reiki sessions are offered with the client/patient fully clothed, either lying or seated, often with light touch, but no manipulation.
Gentle and generally relaxing, reiki sessions are often viewed as supportive care by patients receiving them.Though the science is still out about the effectiveness of reiki, a number of hospitals and healthcare settings are incorporating reiki as adjunctive support for stress and pain management. (Contact me for current research studies related to reiki in the oncology setting.)

Mayor’s Reception at Maritime Gloucester and Block Party
It was a really pretty night for last evening’s special events: the Schooner Festival Mayor’s Reception hosted at Maritime Gloucester and the Main Street Block Party.
Mayor Romeo Theken with Daisy Nell. Mayor Theken holds a new original Sam Parisi painted oar that would be auctioned off later for the Schooner Festival. I heard Senator Tarr but did not hear the results!
The connecting dock between Maritime Gloucester and Solomon Jacobs Park is awesome!
BLOCK PARTY
Stores on Main Street had the Schooner Festival spirit and even some special schooner “sales”.
