Pics from Rededication Event at 3 Page St, Gloucester, Sunday, 10/11
Hi Joey and everyone,
My husband and I thought you’d enjoy these pics from the re-dedication on Sunday of the “Trail of Thai Royalty” plaque
that is now re-installed at 3 Page Street. The Children in the photo are from Thailand, and performed a traditional Thai
dance as part of the festivities, which included speeches, traditional Thai prayers, song, dance and foods.

FRIENDS! DON’T MISS JOHN SLOAN GLOUCESTER DAYS AT THE CAPE ANN MUSEUM
FRIENDS! DON’T MISS JOHN SLOAN GLOUCESTER DAYS AT THE CAPE ANN MUSEUM
![(Delaware)OurRedCottage,Lilacs[1]](https://goodmorninggloucester.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/delawareourredcottagelilacs1.jpg)
Red Cottage is located on East Main Street, across from the entrance to Rocky Neck, and is still painted red!
Beautifully curated by Martha Oaks, from museums around the nation, the exhibit comprises a stellar collection of canvases painted by John Sloan (1871-1951) during the five summers he spent on Cape Ann. I know how much everyone enjoys Hopper’s Houses and it is a joy to see scenes of our community expressed through the eye and brush strokes of Sloan, one of our country’s most celebrated early 20th century painters, and a leader in the Ash Can School of painting.
As was I, you will be thoroughly delighted by the approximately three dozen paintings of our neighborhood, scenes of Gloucester’s Main Street, Rocky Neck sunflowers, the former US government fish hatchery on Ten Pound Island, the trolley along East Main Street, fashions and sentiments of the period, and a wealth more of Gloucester captured in the midst of everyday life during the transitional years of the first World War.

“A Landscape is a Portrait of Place” ~ Sunflowers by John Sloan
Of the approximately 1200 canvases painted by Sloan, 300 are of Cape Ann. One of my favorites of the favorites is Red Cottage, summer home to he and his wife Dolly during the artist’s highly productive Cape Ann years.

I’ll return to take a photo of Red Cottage in prettier light, rather than today’s sunny high noon skies.
John Sloan Gloucester Days runs through the end of November. The last lecture in the series of three, Passing through Gloucester: John Sloan between City and Country will be presented by Michael Lobel on Friday October 30th. For more information visit the Cape Ann Museum website.

Will someone from Wildlife please allocate some goddamned money to study the Coyotes?
Listen I don’t care if you’re one of these Coyote sympathizers who would rather see a human eaten than a coyote put down or if you are a Coyote hater who thinks that we can eradicate and remove them one by one and relocate them. -I consider both factions equally crazy on the crazy meter.
But the fact of the matter is that there’s bananaland amounts of money being spent on counting fish. I’m pretty sure we have more people counting how many fish that are being landed than we actually have fishermen fishing for fish.
So how about we carve out just a smidgen of money to track the explosion in the past 8 years of coyotes living among us. We had the coyote that had to be shot down at East Gloucester Elementary School and now this attack on Eastern Point. Every single year there are more and more of them around us.
I’m not saying that we gotta round em up and kill em or relocate them, but I wouldn’t mind some benchmarks or some studying.
Oh, here it is, The National Marine Fisheries Service 2016 Proposed budget- A Mere $990,121,000.00
Isn’t it about time we get some money together to study the coyotes and figure out what the heck is going on?

A GoPro Tour of Rockport
After riding our bikes through town on Monday the boys decided that it’d be fun to sport the GoPro and video the same route for some of our friends who are missing home. So, we hopped in the Jeep and the boys took turns strapping on the GoPro. Clearly not the best footage ever, but if you love living in Rockport, if you are missing Rockport, if you hope to visit Rockport, or if you want friends to come visit you in Rockport….this little child’s eye tour might be the medicine the doctor ordered.
From our driveway on Smith Road, past Old Garden Beach, down Atlantic Avenue, onto T Wharf, through town, down Bearskin Neck, past the new and improved breakwater, back down the Neck, up Main Street, by Front Beach, and landing at Back Beach we present “Rockport: Our Little Town.”

Pork Loin On the Grill
At the supermarket picking up some stuff for last night’s dinner and figure I’d pick up some pork for smoking today at the dock so I could treat the boys to some pulled pork sandwiches.
Saw the small 2 lb pork loin and didn’t think it all teh way through on how lean a pork loin is and devoid of all that good fat for smoking.
So the plan has changed up and after reading a bunch on the BBQ forum the new plan of attack is to cook it on the kettle between between 325-350 indirect heat and pull it off when it reaches 140 internal.
I trimmed the thick part of the fat off the top and left about half of the fat on. Then made some criss-cross incisions on the top.
Next applied the Paul Prudhomme’s Blackened redfish magic rub.
It was busy down the dock and I dumped a full chimney of coals on one side of the kettle, it got going and ended up needing to be have the vents choked down completely for a good twenty minutes to get the heat to settle down under 350.
Also we had a run of lobster boats land in sequence so I couldn’t monitor the internal temps as i would have liked to. By the time I put the lobsters crated up and into the tanks the internal temp on the pork had gone to 160. I figured it was just a total disaster as the original plan was to pull it off around 130 internal.
As it turns out I let it rest for about a half hour and we sliced it up for some sandwiches. used some nice potato rolls and tried out Trader Joe’s Carolina Gold BBQ sauce.
It was actually quite tasty and not dry at all.
So it wasn’t my proudest moment at the kettle, but in the end the boys all enjoyed it.

Gloucester Stage Celebrates Playwright Arthur Miller’s Centennial
Playwright Arthur Miller Arthur
Gloucester Stage proudly presents The Arthur Miller Centennial, a celebration of playwright Arthur Miller and his work in honor of his 100th birthday, on Saturday, October 17 at 7:30pm at Gloucester Stage, 267 East Main Street, Gloucester, MA. The audience is invited to enjoy birthday cake during a post-show reception with the cast and crew. Conceived by directing apprentice Allison Benko and stage management/production apprentice Jenna Worden, The Arthur Miller Centennialis a multimedia performance featuring recorded interviews with Miller himself as well as scenes from some of his best-known works including The Crucible, Death of a Salesmen, and After the Fall. Benko describes this special evening, “Arthur Miller is often called a quintessentially American playwright, and that might be true. But that’s a dangerously broad blanket statement — and what exactly does it mean? I think this production will be a way of asking that question. It’s a way of asking what Arthur Miller means to us, today, one hundred years after his birth.” The cast features local Boston performers including Kate Paulson and Sheridan Thomas, a professor at Tufts University.

MUSIC & MEDITATION IN THE MEETINGHOUSE with Elizabeth McLindon & Brian King
MUSIC & MEDITATION IN THE MEETINGHOUSE (MMM) featuring meditation leader Elizabeth McLindon and singer-songwriter Brian King, October 25, 2015 at the Gloucester UU Meetinghouse
BASICS:
Meditation and Music combined in a candle-lit setting October 25, 2015 at 7:30pm in Gloucester’s Meetinghouse, home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church Corner of Middle and Church Streets, on the green
Free-Will Offering, Fully Accessible, and Everyone is Welcome
Social Gathering Afterwards with Light Refreshments
Church Contact: Karen Rembert, info@gloucesteruu.org , (978-283-3410)
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
The Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church is pleased to announce the next event of its monthly series called Music & Meditation in the Meetinghouse (MMM) that offers Cape Ann residents and visitors a unique combination of beautiful music and relaxing meditation. Each MMM event offers the participants an opportunity to enjoy a different combination of peaceful self-awareness through various kinds of meditation enhanced by the musical offerings.
The October event features meditation leader Elizabeth McLindon singer, Brian King. There will be a collation with light refreshments afterwards in the Entrance House, giving participants the opportunity to meet the leaders and each other in a convivial atmosphere.
The MMM experience is intended to be comforting, entertaining and spiritual but it is emphatically not a church service. It is held in the candle-lit sanctuary of the grand Meetinghouse, a place of gathering and welcoming for the entire Gloucester community for over 200 years. The Meetinghouse, whose lantern tower with a Paul Revere bell has guided generations of mariners safely into our harbor, is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the oldest and largest surviving building of its type on Cape Ann.
The Sanctuary is accessible with facilities for persons with disabilities via the side entrance at 10 Church Street. A free-will offering of $10 is requested but no one will be turned away and everyone is welcome regardless of financial capability. Find your way Sunday evening to the green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets to discover an hour of peace, enjoyment and contemplation in Gloucester’s historic 1806 Meetinghouse.
