VIDEO: Live police pursuit w video of suspect: #gloucesterma

Video of suspect being loaded into the ambulance. (he appears to have offended the medics and officers)

Gloucester police officers finished off a foot chase at the corner of Willow St. and Willowood Rd. I witnessed the man, white male whom appeared to be in his late 50’s to early 60’s, being chased across the train tracks and through the parking lot of the MAC. After several police officers in uniform, and what appeared to be plain clothes officers as well, chased him down w weapons drawn, one officer tackled the suspect to the ground.

After being cuffed, searched and brought to his feet, the man was loaded into an ambulance for medical attention. Aside from his obvious lack of respect for the arresting officers and medics, he appeared to suffer no injuries.

PROLIFIC ARTIST AND MUCH LOVED TEACHER PAUL CIARAMITARO offers classes in Perspective Drawing at the NORTH SHORE ARTS ASSOCIATION.

The studio drawing classes will run for five Mondays, June 15th through July 13th and begin again on five Mondays, July 20 through August 17. All classes are 10 AM – 1 PM.

2014_Ciaramitaro_Perspective_DrawingThis much loved Gloucester artist and former fisherman shares about perspective drawing, “To be an artist in a traditional or classical style, you must understand perspective. If you don’t understand perspective you will not fool anyone. Your paintings and drawings will be weak. You must understand the lines. I will show you where the lines begin and end. When you know perspective, you will be a more confident artist able to draw anything. You will see…I will show you. Join me.” Please check the NSAA’s website for more information.

The North Shore Arts Association’s galleries are open, free to the public, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Noon to 5 p.m.

More information on all North Shore Arts Association events is available by visiting their website at www.nsarts.org, and by email at arts@nsarts.org, or by telephone 978 283-1857.

How far have you gone?

Let’s face it, as much as everyone loves to be friendly with the peace, love and happiness there are times we just don’t want to talk to people. How many people do you see and talk to just in the market? It’s impossible to get through the market with out conversing!

I often don’t make eye contact because I figured if I can’t see them, they can’t see me right? (sounds good in theory)

If we spot someone we will casually turn around and walk the other way in the hopes they leave the market before making that inevitable eye contact.

How far have you gone just to avoid the awkward conversation somewhere?

New Video from Lisa Smith ~ Gloucester City-wide Arts Festival 2015

Lisa writes ~ “Here it is fresh off the press video highlight of the Gloucester Schools City-wide Arts Festival held earlier this month in downtown Gloucester. I couldn’t cover it all, but what I did cover was amazing! It includes a short interview with GHS science teacher Kurt Lichtenwald, his robotics program is fantastic. People got to play with the robots and other engineering marvels that his students made.”

Hooglio Bastistos at Cape Ann Cinema and Stage THIS WEEK!

HooglioHooglio Bastistos is back.  Gloucester’s own singer and semi political comic story teller.  With his infectious original songs that you can’t seem to shake for days, Hooglio returns this week in a new live show.  In “From Here to Flustuania” Hooglio receives a ‘message from God’; he has a daughter he’s never met and must go on a quest to find her.  His daughter ‘Hooglietta’, played by Sofia Gadbois, is also on a quest to find him.  With Gordon Baird playing Louie DeRoach, Roman Gadbois as Mc and a cameo visit by Ian McColl and Steve via Video, the result is an irresistible hour of Gloucester’s most adorable characters; great songs, fun local comedy and video.

It’s a perfect stage production for the Cape Ann Community Cinema.  The room is perfect for Hooglio’s beloved audience, accommodating over 100 people, with snacks, beer, and wine.

What started as a request by his wife, Susan Albiero, for Hooglio to sing one song at a fund raiser to support a Musical Performance Tour of England for her kids, has mushroomed into a four night show.  This show has been a family affair with the four Gadbois family members busy working together, with Gordon as a sort of adopted son.

The show is May 27/28 (Wed/Thurs) @7:30 and May 29/30 (Fri/Sat) @8:30at the Cape Ann Community Cinema and Stage. 267 E Main St, Gloucester. (above St Peters club)   Advance Tickets $15 may be reserved by credit card online at www.capeanncinema.com.  Will call tickets $15 if reserved by phone (978) 509-6000. Student and Family Discounts by calling.  $18 night of the show.

Dave says,

The Rockport Ghetto Rage Festival continues with the arrival of Mr. Mike O”Connell to our stage this Thursday. Mikey, the kapusta king of Worcester,will have all of you stubbing your toes on his brand of southern rock. That and he can cook, too. And sing, like an angel! What’s not to like? Spread out!
He’ll be joined by our own locally groaned hero of catarrh: Mr. Dave Brown. And to add to all the senseless violence, let’s add Mr. David Mattacks, the Atomic Clock, on drums. And me, too. This is a really great combo plate. Czech it out. Hope to see you there.
And don’t forget, next Monday, from 1 to 3, The Good Old Salty Jazz Band will be circling the wagons at The Rose Baker Senior Center. It’s free and the Jello® is really good.

Put on your dancing shoes…it’s gonna be a wicked good one…or just listen…you’ll be glad you did.
