Drama on Niles Pond
While walking very early by Niles Pond one morning recently, the peace and serenity of the place was suddenly shattered by the persistent distressed crying of a duck at the far wooded end of the pond. I looked for her and the cause of her distress, but it took some time to locate her in the reeds. Then I saw the reason for her mournful cries. This coyote had apparently gotten her mate and possibly her babies as well. I couldn’t see what he was feeding on, but her cries made it obvious that it was something very dear to her, and since there was no mate at her side, I assumed he must have been watching the nest while she went out to feed and was caught unawares by the coyote.
When I started photographing, both he and the duck looked in my direction. He seemed to know I was too far away to be of any concern to him, so he yawned and went on about his business. The duck however kept looking in my direction and crying, as though pleading with me to do something. My heart went out to that poor devastated creature. I know coyotes need to eat, and it is better for him to feed on a duck than someone’s pet cat or dog, but it still made for a sad start to my day, and a much sadder start for her’s. The coyote however was satisfied.

Fourth of July week at Rockport Music
On Tuesday, July 1 and Wednesday, July 2, at 8 pm, singer-songwriter Livingston Taylor will share his signature upbeat storytelling to touching ballads that will take audiences on a musical journey, whether singing hits “I’ll Come Running,” “I Will Be in Love with You” or other favorites. His vast musical knowledge has inspired a varied repertoire, and he is equally at home with a range of musical genres, including folk, pop, gospel and jazz. His versatility has led to performing with such major artists as Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett and Jethro Tull among many others. As the younger brother of iconic folk rock star James Taylor, Livingston successfully carved out his own niche in the pop music world, gaining acclaim for exquisitely reworked covers of classics like “On Broadway” and “Over the Rainbow” among others. Currently a professor at Berklee College of Music, Livingston shares his performance knowledge and experiences with the next generation of young artists. Additionally, he released a new book in 2013 aptly titled Stage Performance, in which he imparts the various tricks of the trade. Tickets: $31-$52
On Saturday, July 5 at 8 pm, Dweezil Zappa is keeping the musical legacy of his legendary father alive with a series of tours called Zappa Plays Zappa. The fully orchestrated band, complete with video integration of the elder Zappa performing along with his son and band, is a complex, entertaining, fun, sophisticated and rare experience! With a handpicked band of young musicians, the younger Zappa celebrates his father’s classic album Roxy & Elsewhere by performing the album in full! For fans of Frank Zappa (or fans of experimental, progressive rock), it just doesn’t get any better than this. Tickets: $55-$85
Earlier the same day (3 PM), Dweezil will lead a guitar masterclass—for the price of a fuzz pedal, learn techniques from the son of Frank Zappa! Dweezil Zappa’s music camp, Dweezilla, has a motto “Learn and Destroy.” It refers to destroying the boundaries that confine music creativity. Tickets $75
On Sunday, July 6 at 5 pm, two-time Grammy Award-winning clarinetist Richard Stoltzman and marimbist Mika Yoshida Stoltzman perform an eclectic mix of music-both old and new. The program includes works by Bach, Toru Takemitsu, John Zorn, Steve Reich, Ravel, Piazzolla, Serban Nichifur and Chick Corea. Tickets: $45-$78
On Tuesday, July 8 at 8 pm, the Donald Sinta Saxophone Quartet is a winner of numerous competitions including grand prize at the 2013 Concert Artist Guild Competition, the 2013 Coleman Chamber Music Competition and the 2012 North American Saxophone Alliance Quartet Competition. The Quartet’s program will feature Barber’s Adagio for Strings, as well as works by Schubert, Glazunov, Wanamaker and Michael Nyman. Tickets: $19-$34
On Wednesday, July 9 at 8 pm, Grammy Award winner and platinum-selling artist Shawn Colvin will perform at the Shalin Liu Performance Center. Known best for her platinum-selling A Few Small Repairs with hit single “Sunny Came Home,” this incredibly talented singer-songwriter has carved an immovable place for herself amongst the pantheon of contemporary folk music. In a career spanning more than three decades, Colvin has developed a devoted and loyal fanbase on the strength of her highly personal and emotive lyrical style. The Opening Act is Anthony D’Amato. Tickets: $49-$68
The Rockport Chamber Music Festival continues through July 13 with performances by the Calder Quartet, Imani Winds and the all-male a cappella ensemble Chanticleer.

Windhover Summer Dance Performances
Windhover announces its Summer Dance Performances
Featuring Forty Steps Dance and Sarah Slifer Swift
at Windhover Performing Arts Center
257 rear Granite St., Rockport, MA
Friday, July 18–Sunday, July 20, 2014 at 8:00 P.M.
Tickets: Adults, $20; Students and seniors, $18 ; children under 10 free. Tickets may be purchased at Toad Hall Bookstore, Rockport; The Bookstore, Gloucester; or by sending a check to Windhover, P.O. Box 2249, Rockport, MA 01966
Forty Steps Dance will be performing two works, both choreographed by artistic director Sallee Slagle. “Creatures” was created in 2014 and is based on the movements of the variety of creatures around us and our affinity to the natural world. “Accord” is a crowd-pleasing work created in 1992 and was recently performed in Nahant for the company’s 20th anniversary.
Sarah Slifer Swift will present two recent works. “Insenser” (2014 premiere), named after an NSA surveillance system, takes on the human response to watching, being watched and becoming data. “Invisible Stories” (2013) is a collaboration between Swift and Vermont-based writer and choreographer, Kate Morgan, based on the idea that “the book,” open or closed, occupies the landscapes in which we live.
As part of the “Invisible Stories” performance, an installation in one of the Windhover buildings will be on display at the start of each evening.

Community Stuff 6/19/14
Hello,
Today seven GHS students travelled to the MIT campus as a culminating activity for their participation in the Gloucester U class – MIT Educational Game Design. The students had participated in a pilot Massive Online standards-based educational game called Radix. During this time they solved STEM quests and provided valuable participant data to MIT. In addition to this, all students produced an educational based game of their choice in which they prepared to present to the MIT game interns and staff.
After a wonderful tour, our GHS were the very first Alpha Testers of a new programming language and associated game called Gameblox. Their data and two hour interaction is being used to help pilot a MOOC (massive on-line course) on Game Design to be offered by MIT on the EdX platform. At the conclusion of our time, the students presented their electronic games they had produced.
I am proud of our students, their accomplishments, and all those who helped to make this trip possible. A special shout out to Susannah Gordon-Messer, the Radix director who provided a stellar morning tour, Paul of Gameblox, GEF and the Gloucester U team of Samantha Whitney and Mark Kelsey. Thanks to all that I have missed who have had a part in this special program.
In parting, one quote I overheard while there having the middle photo taken –
“Hey guys, this will be us in four years on this lawn in front of the MIT rotunda with our caps and gowns!”
Priceless,

Lama Marut Back in Gloucester this Monday!!!
Hi Joey,
You haven’t posted about Lama Marut in a while! Hope you’re able to make it this Monday, June 23rd, 7:30pm. He’ll be giving a talk at Temple Ahavat Achim, “Beyond Individuality: The Great Equality of All Beings” and will be signing his new book, Be Nobody.
Here’s the talk description: We cling to our uniqueness, individuality, and separateness at the expense of the great commonalities that unite us. Join Lama Marut for a discussion about his new book, Be Nobody, and learn how to be happier through living a life of selflessness rather than unbridled egoism.
I’ve attached a photo in case you’re able to post to GMG!
Hope to see you Monday,

Dear Joey,

SAVE THE DATE!
June 28 from 1-4 pm Art Lovers will have a chance to acquire their own unique work of art by Cape Ann master Betty Lou Schlemm at the North Shore Arts Association.
When Betty turned 80 in January, she asked herself what she should do with the artwork that she has retained from a very successful career as an artist.
The Gift, an exhibition and sale of many years of artwork is the result. Betty will be offering all the proceeds of her artwork as a donation to 3 Cape Ann charities – Cape Ann Animal Aid, The Open Door, and Wellspring House.
Come out and support these local charities while purchasing original art work at very affordable prices. Her usual prices will be discounted significantly at the June 28 benefit sale.
Betty just wants her art work to do some good – she’s had a lot of fun making these paintings, has been honored with scores of awards, and now wants to share this artwork with the community so these paintings can continue to bring joy.
