Lisa posted this on Facebook this morning and I thought it was a decent synopsis of the coyote meeting last night. Rubber Duck added the photo of Coywolf puppies.
I (Lisa Day-Copeland) went to the Gloucester coyote forum tonight with Jodi Swenson and Roland Leger. I think the presenters did a good job of teaching people about coyotes, that they have many useful functions and are here to stay (replaced wolves after they were killed off). Most weigh only 30 – 45 pounds and are far less dangerous than dogs in terms of aggressive behavior (and I love dogs!) They taught us to make noise and wave our arms, even toss something small at them or wave a stick. Don’t feed them. It is good for them to be afraid of humans. Also cover your trash and hiding spaces (I’ve got to block that space under my shed!) Lots of really bright people got in line to make comments or ask good questions…science students, wildlife specialists. Someone from Project Coyote came to see the presentation…perhaps he’ll be back at some point to further educate the public.
This cloud formation was seen in Rhode Island this morning. Looks like The Pats Logo..

DEAR READERS,
MY APOLOGIES FOR THE CONFUSION. HERE IS THE CORRECTED INFORMATION FROM KEN AND BARBARA AT THE CHAMBER:
Ken asked me to share our response from the Registry on the question of inspection and the new license plates.
This is what we were told:
The individual just keeps their old registration on hand until they have to get re-inspected. If they get pulled over for the inspection they will have the proof that they had that plate on their vehicle at one time.
By the way, we have found out that it is now very easy to order the new plates online. We spoke to someone who ordered their plate online on Monday and had it just a few days later. The link to order can be found here: https://secure.rmv.state.ma.us/SpecialPlates/intro.aspx.
Please contact the Chamber if you have any additional questions.
Thanks for helping us get the correct information out there.
The decision on the location for a new North Shore DMV registry branch remains undecided. There are service centers on the other peninsula, Cape Cod. Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard host full DMV service centers as do towns with smaller populations, like Greenfield and North Adams. There isn’t a uniform state model.
The day after the GMG post musing What about a DMV branch at Gloucester Crossing?, Paul Leighton wrote an article in yesterday’s Gloucester Daily Times “Legislators urge decision on new site for Registry” Thursday February 2, 2017 with more info.
According to the article: “Six property owners submitted bids in October. A spokesman for the Division of Capital Asset Management & Maintenance, which oversees state leasing, said those bids are still being reviewed…In addition to Speliotis, local legislators who signed the letter to the state included state Sen. Joan Lovely of Salem and state Reps. Paul Tucker of Salem, Tom Walsh of Peabody, Jerry Parisella of Beverly, Lori Ehrlich of Marblehead and Brad Hill of Ipswich, who represents Manchester.”
Leighton’s prior Gloucester Daily Times article about the DMV branch location “Registry considers Peabody, Beverly sites for new branch” was published July 21, 2016.

Sharing a few shots from last weekend’s adventures up in North Conway, NH. Let’s see what this weekend’s adventures will bring!
I love this stone in the Mill Pond Park in Rockport. Is it an anchor stone? It totally looks like a very happy whale to me.
Blanks Ready For New Designs-
New prototypes for internally lit openers-
Kate and I became infatuated with Mike and Wendy’s Instagram Pages a couple of years ago, stalking their interesting coastal lives in Mystic Seaport and admiring their cool business creating custom Bottle openers, key chains, coasters, and shavers.
Finally we made it down to Mystic where they treated us to a great night of dinner, drinks and conversation.
You need to check out their website and Instagram pages-
These are about the coolest gifts ever and I can think of about a million different scenarios where these would be appropriate. Think of a wedding party gift. Perfect, right?
I’m not sure how Mike and Wendy are doing this morning but Jesus did we get after it last night. #alchoholpoisoning

Tonight at 7pm the coyote forum will be held at Kyrouz Auditorium. The program sounds similar to the one presented last year at this time. If you plan to go, leave early because last year the auditorium was packed.
