Hey Joey, my friend lost her pup… if you find this appropriate, would you post to GMG, Facebook? 

Understand if you can’t.

City Government Update From Councilor Paul McGeary

City government update

City issues warning on unsafe ice

Dear friends:
I have received the following communication from Larry Durkin, the city’s chief environmental engineer.
Despite recent cold temperatures the Gloucester Department of Public Works (DPW) is warning all to stay off Babson, Goose Cove, Dykes, Wallace, and Haskell reservoirs as water levels are fluctuating and any entry onto ice is unsafe.  The DPW is currently operating at the Babson Water Treatment Plant which takes water from Babson and Goose Cove reservoirs, so water levels are constantly changing and ice is shifting.  To refill Dykes Reservoir in West Gloucester the DPW is pumping from Wallace and Haskell Reservoirs, so the ice is not stable or safe for entry on these reservoirs as well.
With recent cold snaps, people can be lulled into thinking ice should be thick and safe to be on, but that is not the case were reservoir water levels are changing.
Please monitor your children’s activities, especially if you live close to these reservoirs. Your safety is important to us!

A personal note

I would just like to thank all of you who took the time to write and otherwise express support for my candidacy to be your interim mayor. In the event, the Council decided that it wanted a level playing field in November, and I respect that decision. Let us all join together to help our new mayor, Sefatia Romeo Theken, succeed as the interim leader of our city government.

"We were hit by a wave, one of those big waves maybe 30 feet high," said Chester Poling crewman Harry Selleck of Pawtucket, R.I., "It just came in and broke the ship in half…" 10 January 1977- Six Rescued off Tankship Chester Poling off Gloucester. Coast Guard Cutter Cape George received a mayday broadcast from the motor tankship Chester A. Poling. The 281-foot tankship was breaking in half in high seas and sinking approximately eight miles ESE of Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts, with seven crew members. CGCs Cape George, Cape Cross, Firebush, Decisive and boats from Coast Guard Station Gloucester, Point Allerton, and Merrimack River and aircraft from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod all responded. The Cape George arrived on scene and rescued two persons stranded on the bow section. A CG HH-3F rescued the first person from the stern of the tankship and a second crewman fell off the stern while attempting to jump into the rescue basket. At this time the stern section rolled over, throwing the remaining three survivors into the frigid seas. CGC Cape Cross moved in and rescued two of the crewmen while the HH-3F rescued a third. The six survivors were taken to Gloucester Station and transferred to a local hospital.
