As always, Gloucester is well represented as seen from this image shot last night at one of several Copley Square memorials to the Marathon victims. Boston Strong!
Here above the tide, in America’s storied fishing port, the Law & Water Gallery shows provocative works by accomplished artists in mixed media, paint, ceramics, and photography.
The gallery brings together two bodies of art under one roof. The first has, as its starting point, the written and unwritten laws that shape society. The second centers around the body of water that surrounds and sustains our island.
These works offer fresh perspectives on law and justice, port and place, work and environment.
Located in the storefront law office of Ken Riaf on Gloucester’s Harbor Walk, the Law & Water Gallery is open on Saturdays and by appointment.
At the Friday May 10 meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club, physicist Gary Meehan will speak on the nation’s next generation of geosynchronous weather satellites, GOES-R.
Gary will give us a high-level "tour" around the satellite, and explain the various instruments that will fly on it. Gary will give particular emphasis to the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI), the flagship instrument on GOES-R, for which he is the lead systems engineer.
The new satellites will provide continuous imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth’s Western Hemisphere as well as space weather monitoring. They will be the primary tool for the detection and tracking of hurricanes and severe weather, and will improve support for the detection and observations of meteorological phenomena that directly affect public safety, protection of property, and ultimately, economic health and development.
Gary has been a member of the GOES-R Ground Processing team for the past few years at Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) in Lexington.
GAAC meets at 8:00 on the second Friday of every month at the Lanesville Community Center in the Lanesville neighborhood of Gloucester. There is no charge. More information is available on their website, http://gaac.us and on their Facebook page, http://facebookcom/gaacpage

“We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.”
Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)
Raised in an Irish Catholic family in White Plains, Campbell had an early fascination with Native American culture and mythology. He attended Dartmouth and Columbia Colleges and received degrees in English and Medieval Literature. While returning from a family trip to Europe in the 20’s, a chance shipboard meeting with Jiddu Krishnamurti (quoted earlier in this space) awoke in him a lifelong interest in eastern philosophy. Campbell withdrew to a shack in upstate New York for five years of intensive reading and study, learning French, German, Latin, Sanskrit, and Japanese in the process. He taught at Sarah Lawrence College for many years and in 1949 published The Hero with a Thousand Faces, the seminal work of comparative mythology, followed in the 1960’s by The Masks of God. Both books have had an enormous influence on writers and storytellers as diverse as George Lucas and Richard Adams, but it was the 1988 PBS series The Power of Myth, in which journalist Bill Moyers interviewed Campbell at length, that brought his ideas into popular culture. The Joseph Campbell Foundation continues to publish his astonishingly prolific output of books, essays and talks on the nature of the universal human search for meaning.
Hi Joey,
My husband and two sons are holding 2 black labs by 59 Eastern Pt. Rd. They said the dogs obviously look lost …cant get close to check their tags because they are a bit snippy right now-We have had no luck with animal control or police- we cant keep them because we already have 2 black labs of our own. We hate to let them go for fear of being hit by a car. Could you please post this?Our
home phone is 978 281 3050
ThanksBarbara Kelly
Update6:56 PM:
Sorry no… UPDATE we had to let them go… unfortunately.Here’s some important info for our friends with dogs… if your dog or dogs get lost on a Sunday… you are out of luck. Police refer you to animal control which does not have coverage on Sunday. After 4pm,Cape Ann Animal aid is closed… perhaps writing your phone number with permanent marker on your dog’s collar would be useful.
The “star” to the upper left of the moon is the planet Saturn.
