August 23, 2016 ~ mayorsefatia

In conjunction with our DPW and Water Compliance Office, the Mayor just approved water restriction measures which will be announced as effectively enforced immediately.

The full release is attached within this email and we wanted you all to be aware before we distributed widely throughout the community. Please note that this is not a full water ban, instead, water restricted to use after 5PM and before 9AM.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask, but the main bullets are:

• Outdoor watering is limited to “handheld” with a hose or a watering can after 5 p.m. or before 9 a.m.;
• Outdoor watering with irrigation systems and sprinklers is prohibited;
• Watering of municipal parks and recreation fields with irrigation systems and sprinklers will be limited and be before 9 a.m. and after 5 p.m.
• In Gloucester watering is only at essential locations and at areas where vegetation is being reestablished for erosion control such as at the Little River Restoration Project;
• Filling swimming pools, washing cars and washing buildings is prohibited.

Thanks,

Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken

Cape Ann TV’s Lunch & Learn Series: How To Make A Movie On Your iPhone

August 22, 2016 ~ catvbecky ~

Cape Ann TV’s Lunch & Learn Series continues on Wednesday, August 24th, 2016 at 12pm with “How To Make A Movie On You iPhone” presented by Professional Video Producer, Ted Reed.

It used to cost thousands, if not millions of dollars to make a movie. But now the basic production tools are in the hands of millions of people. Your smart phone can capture better video than most top of the line professional cameras did only a few years ago; all you need are a few tips and a few (if any) accessories to produce a festival-ready film. Join independent producer Ted Reed for a Cape Ann TV Lunch and Learn discussion that will show you what you need to know and what works best to get high-quality video out of your iPhone. The principles are the same for almost any current smart phone; we’ll concentrate on what the iPhone can do and the free or cheap apps that will help you get your indie feature made.

Participants are encouraged to install the ProCam app* which we will do a quick tutorial on, but even the stock Camera app will do the trick.

Space is limited for this event; please RSVP to rtober@capeanntv.org to reserve your spot.

The Gloucester Rotary Club will publish a 12-month Cape Ann photo calendar for 2017 as a fundraiser.  All profits will go to the Gloucester Rotary Club’s efforts to raise money that supports the many community and international activities in which the club is involved.

In Order to publish a beautiful calendar, the Club is requesting high quality digital photos that show the unique beauty of Cape Ann throughout the year. Gloucester photos are preferred, but images from other Cape Ann towns will be considered. Water—either ocean or tidal river—must be visible somewhere in all entries. Images from each season: winter, spring, summer and fall are encouraged. A selection committee from the Rotary Club will make the choices.

Full contest rules and requirements are available online at www.gloucesterotary.us.  All entries must be received by 12:00 p.m. on September 16, 2016.

I’m back after a super busy, tiring but invigorating week away!   I love visiting new places and this past week I spent time with New England Photo Workshops and some photo friends walking and photographing the streets of Old Quebec City.  We put in lots of miles taking in its beauty and hope to get back there again some time soon!   I would definitely recommend putting it on your bucket list.   Lots of restaurants, street performers, unique shopping, old world architecture and a very safe & clean.

You can’t really go anywhere in Quebec without a view of the impressive Chateau Frontenac built in 1893 which is one of the most photographed hotels in the world.

The old world architecture made you feel as though you were in France or Italy with many small neighborhoods.   You could do a book just on the doors of Quebec!

If you go, make sure you tour the Citadel and watch the changing of the guard.

So much to see and do around every corner!
