Gloucester provides information on former police chief with FAQ

Chris Sicuranza's avatarCape Ann Community

In an effort to answer some  misconceptions and concerns vocalized by the residents of Gloucester over the recent departure of the former police chief, the city has created a FAQ document to help provide insights and answers:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Departure of former Chief Leonard Campanello

  • Q: Why have the details of investigations around the police department not been issued to the public?
  • A: The administration fully believes in transparency and accountability, period. When rumors and allegations are issued against public officials, they are taken seriously but handled professionally to ensure that we are not spreading lies or creating a dangerous and slanderous precedent which could ruin a person’s life or career. If any allegation proves to be true, however, we provide swift disciplinary actions with oversight from our HR and legal teams. We will always support fair due process and that will remain our standard policy.

Quote of the Week

raoul

 

“In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.”

Raoul Vaneigem (1934 –     )

Born in Belgium, Vaneigem studied philology (the study of written history) at the Free University of Brussels in the 1950’s. He and Guy Debord were the principal theorists of the Situationist International, which had wide influence on radical artistic and political thought in the 1960’s. His best known work, The Revolution of Everyday Life, expounds the situationist belief that capitalism promoted “passive second-hand individual expression through the consumption of commodities over directly lived experiences and first-hand fulfillment of personal desires” and inflicted profound damage on the quality of human life for both individuals and society.

The PHIT Act

I received this email the other day from Modell’s Sporting Goods.  I shop there fairly often as there is a store near my work…and we’re always in need of something sports related!

As a parent who spends a substantial amount of money on youth sports, I was intrigued by this letter and kind of surprised that I hadn’t  heard about this previously. Have you?

Thoughts?

In case you’re interested, not because I’m lobbying or trying to gather interest, I’ve attached the link included in the letter…

The Latest… A DR Code Green 2nd Generation @WeberGrills Performer

Check out the restore project here-

Joey Ciaramitaro's avatarNortheast BBQ

Our buddy Anthony Caturano At Tonno took the second SS Performer.  Immediately I had a empty pit in my stomach, without a Performer to cook on at the dock. Truth be told I really enjoy the restoration process and needed another project so I searched out another Performer looking for some love.

So this beautiful gem fell into my lap look at the bottom of this post:)

It’s a second generation Weber Performer.  Each of the Generations of the Performers have things I like about them.

The classic lines on the first generation Stainless Steel ones, the only performers to use stainless steel. (Here’s the performer Anthony took)

Hi Joey-

I thought this might be of interest to your Good Morning Gloucester readers:

The Cape Ann Trail Stewards has partnered with Cape Ann Transit Authority and Mass in Motion Cape Ann to identify 10 open space areas that can be accessed by CATA bus.  

These properties include sites owned by the City of Gloucester, the Town of Rockport, the Department of Conservation and Recreation, the Trustees of Reservations and Essex County Greenbelt.

CATs has developed in-bus signage and trail head signs.

This program will be launched on Friday October 14th with a brief event featuring Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken at the Seine Field trail head stop. 

I’ve attached a flyer with some additional information.

Please contact me or Kate Walton (cced above) for additional information.

Thanks!
