Street Smart Vs. Book Smart
I honestly do not know who to blame for the lack of common sense adolescents have these days.
These young adults are graduating from college, some with double majors and they can’t even follow a direction??
Is it me or does that not make any sense??
Bad enough some schools took cursive out of the curriculum and they
DO NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO SIGN THEIR NAME???
Honestly, I want my kids to know how to sign their name, balance a check book, pay bills AND do their own laundry in college. I want them to know how to fill out New Hire paperwork and know what a tax form looks like.

Stock photo of Fishing Vessel Enterprise. BOSTON — The Coast Guard responded to a medical emergency on a fishing boat Tuesday one mile east of Boston Light. The master of the fishing vessel Enterprise contacted watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Boston’s command center via VHF radio at about 6:30 p.m. reporting they were en route to their homeport of New Bedford when a crewman aboard became seriously ill. A Coast Guard Station Point Allerton boat crew was patrolling nearby aboard a 29-foot Response Boat — Small and diverted to assist. Coast Guard Station Boston launched a rescue crew aboard a 45-foot Response Boat — Medium. Once on scene, a Station Point Allerton crewmember boarded the Enterprise, assessed the 61-year-old man’s condition, and remained aboard while the Station Boston boat crew escorted Enterprise to shore. On land, the Coast Guard transferred the man’s care to Massachusetts State Police and an advanced medical crew. “The master of the Enterprise did exactly the right thing by calling for help and heading to shore,” said Petty Officer 1st Class Aaron Silva, a response coordinator at Coast Guard Sector Boston. “From there, the great coordination between the two Coast Guard stations, the state police, and local EMS ensured a quick and effective rescue.” |

Book launch for Phoenix of the Seas, by Chester Brigham
Book launch for
Phoenix of the Seas, by Chester Brigham
The saga of the Gloucester schooner
Ernestina-Morrissey, State Ship of Massachusetts
The Cape Ann Museum is pleased to welcome author Chester Brigham to the Museum on Saturday, June 13 at 3:00 p.m. Brigham will be reading from and signing copies of his latest book, Phoenix of the Seas (books will be available for purchase in the Museum Gift Shop). This program is free for members or with Museum admission.
Phoenix of the Seas recounts the journeys and travails of the Ernestina-Morrissey, State Ship of Massachusetts. The schooner, repeatedly written off as doomed, is now undergoing complete restoration thanks to a combination of state and private funding,
The Ernestina-Morrissey’s story is one of wide-ranging maritime adventures, lived by a remarkable cast of captains, crews and voyagers. Launched in Essex in 1894, she sailed to the Grand Banks from Gloucester for cod in the 1890s, voyaged to the Arctic every year for almost two decades on scientific expeditions, served under both the U.S. Army and Navy in the Arctic during World War II, crossed the Atlantic a dozen times as a packet ship, linking Cape Verdean-Americans in New England with family members on their home islands, then back in America under sail out of New Bedford she was a floating schoolroom where boatloads of school children learned about the wonders of their ocean environment.
Behind it all has been the ship’s indomitable spirit, sensed by all who have sailed her: Gloucester fishing captains Bill and Clayton Morrissey, Arctic navigator Bob Bartlett, Henrique Mendes on Cape Verde, round-the-world captain Dan Moreland. And by those whose lives she has touched: dory-trawling fishermen on the Grand Banks, hardy field scientists, Inuit hunters, GIs at remote weather stations, Atlantic islanders, volunteers who have sacrificed much for love of the ship.
Gloucester author Chester Brigham has written three other books relating to the maritime and cultural history of Cape Ann: On Opposite Tacks (2011), Gloucester’s Bargain with the Sea (2007) and The Stream I Go A-Fishing In (2003).

What did B.B. King think of Alexis P. Suter? See for yourself at the Gloucester Blues Fest Aug 8
The first time B.B. King heard Alexis P. Suter sing is when she opened for him in NYC. This is what B.B. King said, “It’s a rare thing to share the stage with great talent like that young lady.”
On August 8th, only eight weeks from this Saturday, you can experience what he was talking about at the 4th annual Gloucester Blues Festival at Stage Fort Park. Plus you get to hear 6 other blues legends too, including the guy known as “Hendrix of the Harminica,” Sugar Blue!
You know you want to be there and you don’t want be one of those people who forgets that you can save $12 per ticket by getting them now (GET TICKETS HERE). So don’t put it off any longer.
Here’s a little taste of what you can expect from Alexis P. Suter at The Gloucester Blues Festival.

Oh man! Dennis Brennan This Thursday Night 8:30-11:30 Dave Sag’s Blues Party @ The Rhumb Line 6.11.2015
Put on your dancing shoes….cause it’s gonna be one of those nights!
Dave says,
OK, girls: this is it. Thursday’s Rhumbline sees the return of that Euterpian whippersnapper: Mr. Dennis Brennan. Long a favorite around here, Mr. D will have you in endocrinal ecstasy before you can say “Bartender…two more”. He’s a great songwriter as well as vocalist of Delta Force. Gives me shivers. He’s bringing along the commodious Mr. Steve Sadler on catarrh to bring his songs to life. Last time around, the joint was jumpin’. Mr. Forrest “Frosty” Padgett will be beating the war drums, and I’ll be there to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on him, or the bass; whichever comes first.
