Artists Work Spaces: Eileen Oliver
Hi Paul;
You featured my little studio space last year when I was living in Rockport. We moved to Bayview in Gloucester last September and I have been painting more than ever since I’ve been here. I’m walking distance from Plum Cove beach and Lanesville and both my husband, Jim, and I (he’s also an artist) have been doing some of our best work. Here are some pictures of my work space.
I have a website through Fine Art America..

Beverly Mayor Bill Scanlon was at the newly established center for Family Promise North Shore to cut the ribbon together with FPNS’s Network Director, Elise Sinagra, yesterday evening:
Family Promise North Shore serves homeless families with children, providing a day shelter with all the essentials, and overnight sleeping quarters in conjunction with houses of worship in the region. Family Promise is a national model for helping homeless families live with dignity and find permanent housing solutions.
I will have a slideshow of the event and the facility tomorrow.

Snoop Maddie Mad Is 250th Percentile For Loving Soccer
Running joke in our house is that our kids are 250th percentile at this or that. A joke making fun of obnoxious parents that claim their kids are this percentile or that percentile at some skill set. You’re only supposed to be able to go up to 100% but I like to say back to those folks when they say their kid is 85th percentile at something that my kid is 250th percentile and stare back at the quizzical looks on their faces.
Snoop Mad is 250th percentile at loving soccer. And that’s a higher percentile than your kid. Deal with it.
The whole paying attention during practice part maybe negative 250th percentile. Like when she was tending the net as the goalie and giving me the thumbs up on the sidelines when another six year old drilled a shot right past her for a goal. Oopsies.
and would you look at those rags we’ve got her in? She looks like a homeless soccer kid. Her parents get a negative 300th percentile for rolling their kid out in that get-up. Need to go to the sporting goods store stat and pick up some umbro soccer shorts.

Community Stuff 5/3/13
Theatre in the Pines – “Dividing the Estate”
Opening Night – Proceeds will be donated to Susan G. Komen Foundation

In, “Dividing the Estate,” old resentments and sibling rivalries surface as the members of this hilariously dysfunctional family go head to head to see who might claim the biggest piece of the pie. Rich humor clearly reflects the spirit of the playwright. Cast members include Scott Hazzard, Kierstin Hazzard, Sarah Clark, Sue Barratt Souza, Rick Doucette, Eileen Fitzgerald, and Mark and Patti Natti, Ruth Exama, Alexa Exama, Patricia Richards and Carl Pulkkinen. Randy Dupps is Stage Manager, Frank Walcott is the technical director and set design and production manager is Martin Ray.
Tickets are now on sale at The Bookstore in Gloucester and Toad Hall Bookstore in Rockport.

Digital Dogtown Update From Roger and Alan Davis
Hello Joey,
Funds and messages of support have been pouring in for repairing and replacing the posts of Digital Dogtown, the vandalized Eagle Scout project that links hikers with smart phones to information about the history, geology, ecology and culture of Dogtown. Anyone with ideas for the best way to replace these (or thoughts on how it should be done differently, or why it should not be done at all) should send us a note at digital.dogtown@gmail.com
The good folks at Espresso’s Restaurant at 116 East Main St in Gloucester are hosting a fundraising event next Monday evening, May 6, from 5:00-9:00. Come and eat their good food and a percentage of your bill will help support this Scout’s project. Thanks to Tammy Cominelli for setting this up!
Can’t come for dinner, but would like to help out? Send a check made out to “The Gloucester Fund” and note on the memo line that the check is “for Digital Dogtown” and mail it to Alan Davis, 2 Goodwin Road, Gloucester MA 01930.
We hope to have the posts back in operation in time for the summer hiking season!
Thanks a lot,
Roger and Alan Davis

The Plasticene Era
Written by guest author JoeAnn Hart. Originally posted on her blog Float
It’s so hopeless,” a young friend said, tossing a plastic water bottle in the trash. “I don’t believe in recycling.”
“Don’t believe?” I said, reaching into the garbage. “I didn’t know it was a religion.”
“It’s a faith. A faith that you’re doing the right thing. A feel-good gesture that masks a larger problem.”
As I dropped the bottle into the recycling receptacle, I felt that familiar spike of serotonin from having done my bit for the environment, and I knew she was right. Self-satisfaction with our little actions can keep us from taking up the larger, more difficult, actions. Recycling is grossly inefficient. Every year, Americans throw away three-hundred pounds of plastic per person, only ten percent of which gets recycled, and poorly recycled at that. Not only is it down-cycled into something like decking material, it uses an inordinate amount of energy in the process, as we truck empty water bottles all over the country. All this so we can re-use a toxic material? When we die, our bodies will decompose into a bit of carbon and methane. Plastic never disappears. It breaks down into smaller bits of polymer, releasing pseudo-estrogens and other hazardous chemicals in the process, until it is the size of a single molecule. This is where the waste stream meets the food chain. The molecules enter the water table under the landfills where they make their way to the sea, to be devoured by fish fooled into thinking it’s plankton. Then we eat the fish.
