Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Robert McNamara, Norman Mailer, Maxwell Taylor & lots more
We just voted. It was easy. No lines. We understand if you don’t like the choices. You probably seldom do. But you still have to choose. We all do. That’s kind of the point of a democracy. We never get exactly what we want, but we all work together for the good of ourĀ country as a whole.
More importantly, there are MASSĀ referendum measures on the ballot today that will most likely affect your life far more than the new president will. I woke up today with this song in my head. It’s Paul Simon’s satire of Bob Dylan and politics all wrapped up into one fun song on Simon & Garfunkel’s mega-hit album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme (all of which we have growing in our garden). Listen, laugh, vote and feel better! Lyrics belowĀ the video…
I been Norman Mailered, Maxwell Taylored
I been John O’Hara’d, McNamara’d
I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I’m blind
I been Ayn Randed, nearly branded
Communist, ’cause I’m left-handed
That’s the hand I use, well, never mind
I been Phil Spectored, resurrected
I been Lou Adlered, Barry Sadlered
Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay
And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce
And all my wealth won’t buy me health
So I smoke a pint of tea a day
I knew a man, his brain was so small
He couldn’t think of nothing at all
Not the same as you and me
He doesn’t dig poetry
He’s so unhip that when you say Dylan
He thinks you’re talking about Dylan Thomas
Whoever he was
The man ain’t got no culture
But it’s alright, ma, everybody must get stoned
I been Mick Jaggered and silver daggered
Andy Warhol, won’t you please come home?
I been mother, father, aunt and uncled
Been Roy Haleed and Art Garfunkeled
I just discovered somebody’s tapped my phone

Pet of the Week- TrickĀ
Happy, goofy and lovable are all words the folks here have used to describe me! My name is Trick and I am a rescue dog from down south. I don’t quite know what my breed mix is but take one look at me and you can see I look just like a Treeing Walker Coonhound.
I am considered special needs because I recently had a Femoral Head Ostectomy surgery to correct some old trauma to my hip. I have recovered well and I can get around just fine. I am a friendly guy and I enjoy the company of just about anyone I meet.
I have quite a bit of energy and love to spend my time walking on the trails or playing in the play yards.
So do you think I could be a good match for you? Then come down and meet me today! For more information on all of the animals available at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter please go to our website:capeannanimalaid.org

Don’t miss a chance to publish: still 1 week to register for Cape Ann Reads picture book contest! Plus a shout out to artist volunteers!
Entry forms are rolling in!Ā
Applicants have until December 15th to upload aĀ book submission,
but they need to register by November 15th or they won’t be eligible for the contest.
Shout out to local artists John Bassett, Bonnie Sylvester and Alexia Parker.Ā Last week we reached out to local media including the Gloucester Daily Times,Ā Cape Ann Beacon, Cape Ann Chamber newsletter, This Week on Rocky NeckĀ and Good Morning Gloucester to help us broadcast the contest and/or seeking volunteer artists.Ā Artists (and writers!) generously stepped forwardĀ with intriguing and generous offers! Scroll down to read more about three of the artist volunteers that responded to this recent public appeal. At this time we have more volunteers than requests. Amazing and inspiring!
Glass sculptor, artist John Bassett www.basglas.com, was the first to reach out with a generous and flexible offer. His website links to pages of glorious works.
His offer was quickly followed by Bonnie Sylvester’s thoughtful reasoning:Ā āAs an artist and early childhood educator, I would love to add my name to the mix of local volunteer artists that writers may consider. I think it will be a lot of fun to work this way.āĀ SylvesterĀ works in a wide range of material including mixed media, acrylic, and watercolor. āI believe exceptional picture books are a marriage of story and picture. Itās so important to see the creativity in the authorās vision.ā Ā She has a masterās degree in early education and is a docent at Cape Ann Museum.
Alexia Parker wanted to volunteer after she was urged by a couple of her friends and fans: “I had couple of friends and coworkers who saw it in the Gloucester Daily Times and contacted me. I grew up in Essex…I also work…in Essex. As far as my art goes, I have just recently been exploring avenues to get my name out there a little. Illustrating childrens’ books has been a dream of mine since I was a child, so I thought this could be a fun way to try it out.” She included this stunning collage as an example.
Stay tuned for more exciting news:
The Jury panel will be announced this week!
There will be a second jury panel made up of children. If you know a Cape Ann K-5th grader who likes to read or be read to, and would be excited to be part of the kids jury panel, let your library know! Names will be pulled out of a hat. For more information contactĀ Capeannreads2016@gmail.com.
Cape Ann Reads childrenās picture book contest is open to Cape Ann residents of ALLĀ ages, students attending school on Cape Ann and people who work on Cape Ann. One winning book will be published by Cape Ann Reads in 2017, a first-edition printing prize valued up to $10,000. Additional honors will be announced.
Sponsor opportunities:
The 4 Cape Ann libraries and many regional partners have coordinated a calendar of wonderful events throughout 2016. Additional sponsors and support are sought and welcome! After the registration deadline, the contest organizers will announceĀ additional specific prize categories.

Cape Ann YMCA’s 8th Annual Taste of Cape Ann is NEXT THURSDAY
Cape Ann YMCAās 8th Annual Taste of Cape Ann is NEXT THURSDAY
The most delicious fundraiser of the year is nearly here ā itās time to get your event ticket. Last yearās event included nearly three dozen food and beverage purveyors and nearly 300 guests!
The Cape Ann YMCAās 8th Annual āTaste of Cape Annā returns to Cruiseport Gloucester on Thursday, November 10, from 6-9PM. The event features the best of Cape Ann eateries offering food, wine and spirits for one $25 ticket price with the proceeds of ticket sales going to support Cape Ann YMCA Teen Service Initiatives.
The service trips enable local youth to spend a week working in communities hit by environmental and economic devastation. Teens participate in learning modules before and after traveling on school break to offer hands-on aid in areas of great need. The New Orleans Mission, now in its 6th year, originated as a Cape Ann trip but has generated enough interest to cause its expansion to include youth throughout the North Shore YMCA system.
Taste of Cape Ann is:
A great place for locals to sample food and drink from their Cape Ann food choices
A great reason to get out and support kids doing good.
John Jerome will be keeping us chill with some great live music while Gloucester’s best eateries will be keeping us full and happy.
Restaurants participating so far:
The list ROCKS this year. Join us on November 10th from 6-9 and samples sweet and savory treats from these great spots and others still rolling in. So many NEW fun places, plus goods from some Foodie Businesses. Be sure to SHARE…
