Theodore Roosevelt Quote Of The Week From Greg Bover
May 17, 2012
“Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
Theodore Roosevelt, (1858 – 1919)
The 26th President of the United States, TR was born wealthy, but also sickly, suffering from asthma his entire life. To compensate, he embraced “the strenuous life” and was famed for his exuberance and activism. He was elected to the New York State Assembly one year after graduating from Harvard University, and became a force for reform in the Republican Party. He was Vice President to William McKinley and at 42 became the youngest person to hold the office of President when McKinley was assassinated in 1901. He is widely credited as the prime mover behind the completion of the Panama Canal, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating an end to the Russo-Japanese War. A life-long naturalist, Roosevelt was essential in the creation of our National Park System. His refusal to shoot an American black bear that had been tied to a tree created a meme that lives on today in the stuffed Teddy Bear.

Essex River Race this morning.
Rubber Duck thought it would be a nice day to paddle down the Essex River and back.
Ten minutes before Rubber Duck gets to go the Stand Up Paddlers are moving to the starting line.
Several times during the race I heard from the shore, “Hey, there goes Rubber Duck from Good Morning Gloucester!”
Beautiful day for a paddle and I got out of my kayak without falling in the water. Bonus.

Field Of Dreams?
This can’t be the same Swinson Field I grew up being a terrible little league baseball player on could it?
Melissa Pierce Forwards-
Hi Joey!
Attached are a couple of pics from my sons t-ball game this morning at Swinson’s field. The grass was so high the kids could hardly play ball.
Many other fields were like this as well. Including where the Y kids play t-ball at O’maley. Although not quite as bad. We were all hoping by sending this to you that something might get done about it. Perhaps the grass can be mowed? Thanks!

Any minute now I expect Kevin Costner to come out of the grass.

Video- Coast Guard medevacs 60-year-old man southeast of Gloucester
The Coast Guard medically evacuated a 60-year-old man from a charter vessel 19 miles southeast of Gloucester, Mass., Thursday.
Watchstanders at the Coast Guard Sector Boston command center received a call at 12:16 p.m. from the 75-foot charter vessel Yankee Clipper, reporting that a 60-year old man aboard was experiencing chest pains.
A Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter crew and a Station Gloucester 47-foot Motor Life Boat crew immediately launched to assist.
The man was safely hoisted from the 47-foot Motor Life Boat to the helicopter and taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
"Helicopters provide the Coast Guard the capability to assist mariners in urgent need of medical care in a prompt, timely and effective manner," said Lt. j.g. Jared Carbajal, Public Affairs Officer at Air Station Cape Cod.

Public School Students’ Art at the Cape Ann Museum
Here are some photos of the elementary school childrens’ art on display at the Cape Ann Museum as a part of the “Gloucester Public School District Arts Festival” on Saturday, May 12. The museum put a lot of work into hanging all these creations!
(To get these big shots, I had to take several photos and use panorama software, which led to a bit of distortion and broken lines here and there… I need to get one of those special panorama tripods that eliminate parallax!)
I am not sure if any of this is still up. The brightness, simplicity, and freshness of it all created a real ambience of upbeat enthusiasm!

Check out this Scuba Deal!
Check out this Deal from Living Social! Undersea Divers of Beverly is offering 1/2 off open water scuba lessons. That’s a great discount and a great way to get people to try scuba diving. I have to say diving is an amazing experience and you should definitely sign up now, so you can be diving all over Cape Ann this Summer!
I was certified at Stage Fort and did it in 45 degree water. If I can do it, you can too! Scuba is what made me want to move to Cape Ann (and Joey’s blog).
Check out my post from a few years back to see some underwater photos I took Diving
https://goodmorninggloucester.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/your-own-backyard-3/
There are lots of places on Cape Ann that support diving too– from Boat charters to gear.
