International Womens Day

 

Today, March 8th, is International Women’s Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for women to take action helping to show unity and strength, with many also participating in β€œA Day Without Woman” which asks women take the day off from their job. Here in Gloucester, we ask people to wear red to show support and for those of us who cannot afford to take the day off, we will be sounding the bells at Gloucester City Hall at 12 Noon and lighting the tower red.

At that time, we will be taking a moment of silence to honor all women. If you are with another woman at 12 Noon, please show appreciation directly. Though many are asked not to shop today, if you are, please shop locally today and support businesses owned by women.

By recognizing the enormous value that women of all backgrounds add to our socio-economic system and taking actions in solidarity with other community, we are proud of all woman and we remind all in our community to cherish one another today. Thank you!

SUSPECT ARRESTED IN PAPRIKA GRILL ARMED ROBBERY

By Ray Lamont

George Doherty told Gloucester police Tuesday morning that his alleged crime the night of Feb. 20 was a β€œspur of the moment” action.

He said he had left the home of a female friend on Veterans Way after finding a bottle of Xanax on the ground, drinking heavily, and arguing with her, he told police.

He walked down Washington Street, then stopped to sit for a moment at Oak Grove Cemetery. But he began experiencing withdrawal from drugs and alcohol, he said, and realized he was desperate for money.

It was then he decided to burst into the nearby Paprika Grill, brandishing a knife and demanding cash from the owner and an employee while covering his face with a jersey he had been wearing.

Doherty, 26, of 16 Columbia St., Apt. 1, is being held on charges of armed and masked robbery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and larceny of more than $250 for robbing the eatery at 8 the night of the Presidents Day holiday.

Doherty was arrested Tuesday and arraigned in the afternoon in Gloucester District Court, where Judge Joseph Jennings III granted assistant district attorney Aimee Conway’s calls for no bail and a dangerousness hearing. The judge set the hearing for Tuesday, March 14, again in Gloucester District Court.

A conviction for armed robbery without the use of a gun can bring a sentence of up to 10 years in state prison.

Dear Friends,

Please join me April 6thΒ atΒ 7pm at the Sawyer Free LibraryΒ where I will be giving myΒ Pollinator Garden programΒ and screening several short films.Β This event is free andΒ open to the public.Β IΒ am looking forward to presenting this program at our wonderful Sawyer Free and hopeΒ to see you there!!

Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird and zinnia – ornithophilyΒ is the pollination of flowering plants byΒ birds.Β TheyΒ carry off pollen on their heads and neck to the next flower they visit.

TheΒ newly eclosedΒ Monarch is clinging to its chrysalis case. Within moments of emerging, the two-partΒ Monarch proboscis must zip together to form a siphoning tube. If the two parts do not join, the butterflyΒ will not be able to drink nectar. In this photo, you can see the proboscis is not yet fullyΒ zipped.

“Following the rhythm of the seasons, celebrated landscape designer Kim Smith presents a stunning slide show and lecture demonstrating how to create a welcoming haven for bees, birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Native plants and examples of organic and architectural features will be discussed based on their value to particular vertebrates and invertebrates.”

NO SELFIES WITH A SEAL PLEASE! AND WHY THERE WAS POLICE TAPE AT GOOD HARBOR BEACH

Monday morning there was a seal hauled out at Good Harbor and folks were taking selfies with the worn out littleΒ feller. Here’s what do if you come upon a seal that appears to be strandedΒ on the beach.

DOS and DON’TSΒ of Interacting with Seals on the Beach

DO stay at least oneΒ hundred and fifty feet away from the seal.

DO observe (from a distance, with binoculars or camera lens) for any outward sign of injury, bleeding or net entanglement, for example. If the seal appears injured, call this number:Β 866-755-6622 at the Northeast Region Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Stranding and Entanglement Hotline.

DON’T try to feed the seal.

DON’T try to cover up the seal with a blanket

DON’T pour water on the seal.

DON’T let your dog anywhere near the seal (dangerous for both animals).

DON’t try to help the seal back into the water.

DON’T take a selfie with the seal.

Harbor Seals are semi-aquatic and it is perfectly naturalΒ for a sealΒ to beach themselves. SealsΒ haul outΒ all year round, andΒ for a variety ofΒ reasons. They use rocks, reefs, and beaches. The sealΒ may need to rest, for thermal regulation (to warm up), to molt, to give birth, to socialize with other seals, or are trying to escape danger, such as a shark. When you force the seal back into the water by getting too close and frightening the creature, before it is ready to return to the sea, you are potentiallyΒ causing the seal a great deal of harm.
