Coyote Attack Downtown Gloucester
Joey,
Awhile back I read a GMG blog post about a coyote attacking a cat.
I was happy to hear that the cat survived and didn’t think too much
about coyote attacks until today.
Sadly our beloved cat Daisy was attacked and killed by a coyote early
this morning. We live downtown in a totally populated and NOT wild
part of Gloucester. The coyote cornered our cat on our neighbor’s
porch. There was a ruckus as deck furniture was upset during the
struggle.
If I had known about coyotes in downtown Gloucester I would have kept
my cat in always. I hope the news of Daisy’s death will warn other
downtown folks and save at least one pet’s life.
Sincerely,
Jane Cunningham

You must have a ton of these by now, but I did post this one on my twitter, saying if you didn’t go to Gloucester today, this is what you missed! I had a great day in Gtown. Went to Rocky Neck and saw EJ, bought olive oil and balsamic vinegar from Cape Ann Olive Oil Co., had lunch at Lobstaland. It is sooo wonderful to play tourist in the hometown. How much did these ocean travelers pay to get to Gloucester? Genie

Community Stuff 9/18/12
The Gloucester Area Astronomy Club and Halibut Point State Park will
host their last star party of the season this Friday, Sept 21, from
sundown to 10:00 pm at the visitor’s center. There will be telescopes,
and goodies, and double stars and star clusters and the moon and more.
This activity, like everything GAAC does, is free and open to the
public. Come and enjoy our dark Cape Ann sky. If it’s cloudy we’ll try
again the next evening, Saturday the 22nd. GAAC can be found on
twitter at @gaactweet, on the web at http://www.gaac.us, and on
Facebook at Facebook.com/gaacpage.
The Gloucester Area Astronomy Club was founded in 2003 as an informal, loosely-structured group. Not all members have telescopes or binoculars, but all share an interest in the night sky. The only club bylaw says that if we ever come up with a formal constitution and bylaws, they must fit on one side of a standard 3X5 card. GAAC owns no property and there are no dues or fees.
Meetings are held monthly. Some feature speakers from area groups such as the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, or from Astronomy departments at some of the colleges & universities in the greater Boston area, and some meetings are more hands-on events led by local observers. All feature coffee, cocoa, & home-made baked goods.
We’re on Twitter here, and Facebook here — that’s where we announce activities and outings. And now we have cool GAAC clothing and other stuff available.
GAAC members meet at St Paul Lutheran Church in Lanesville, at 8:00 pm on the second Friday of every month, for presentations, discussions and activities related to observational astronomy. You’re invited! See our Contact page for more info.
Hoping you can let people know about the next Reiki Clinic 10/09. (flyer attached.)
Our last Reiki Clinic, held September 11th was a wonderful day for groups to gather in peace and harmony. The peace and calm we express when we come together in peace, harmony and understanding can ripple out to many. The calmness of sunrise and sunset also symbolizes ‘peace.’ This time of year, the light is especially beautiful on Cape Ann. Enjoy each day in a healthy way, and be well! Peace, Love, & Light, Karen Pischke www.dreamtimewellness.com

Ten Pound Island From Bill Hubbard
Hi, Joey,
Ever since I posted my rant about Google’s placing of the first Coast Guard Air Station at Harbor Look rather than on Ten Pound Island, I’ve heard from a number of your readers.
There seems to be a lot of questions over which came first; The US Fish Hatchery or the Coast Guard Air Station? My picture attached is a coast guard photo of the island taken in 1900 just a year after the Fish Hatchery was established on the east end of the island. The hatchery buildings and lighthouse buildings are as they appeared at that time which was 25 years before the US Coast Guard established Air Station Gloucester on the Island.
I’ve tried to find more information about the fish hatchery but details are lacking. All I can establish is that they raised fish from eggs brought to the island by research vessels and some contracted fishing vessels. I remember being told they raised Cod from eggs and also Lobsters from eggs but can’t seem to find the details. Even though it was over 100 years ago, it’s amazing how much old data and pictures keeps making it’s way to Google. I did find a Google Book with a great picture of the Air station from a post card but cannot figure out how to copy or print it.

What Kind of Spider is this??????
After the many weeks of research I have finally purchased a new SMALL camera, This is one of the 1st taken with the Sony NEX7 and a Sony E mount 50mm 1.8 lense. The lense is not a macro so all close up is a result of cropping. There are no exposure or color adjustments, only a crop!
