It’s always great to get feedback from our followers. Sharing photos sent from Cat Cavallini in response to Friday’s skies and storm clouds. She says:

“hey pat I loved and appreciated your GMG photos this morning of the storm coverage! I barely made it back kayaking from 10 Pond  to Niles Beach and it was a stormy scary blast I was shocked how windy it got when I finally made it back to shore. Gotta love the weather up here it’s magnificent!  have a great weekend.

Good morning Joey,

Can you please wish my son George a happy first birthday on air or in print – he will be one year old today. I am his mom and I love him very much! It would mean a lot to me, because he is a special little person entering into a great big world. He has been visiting with family in the North Shore area and since I cannot be there today myself I would love for a birthday message to be shared with the citizens of Gloucester (the city is 400 and George is just one, so I understand if this request isn’t heard until a later date) 

George is a strong and adventurous child with a happy smile and a joyful personality. He loves blueberries and morning walks with his brother and dad. Happy first birthday George Robert! 

If you can share this message please let me know where it will be written or when it may be announced. I support local news and follow up on local events, particularly stories related to nature and local history.  I’d like to stay in touch and I appreciate your time.

Thank you, 

Olivia Wrobel

Dogtown Common by Percy MacKaye, adapted and directed by Peter Littlefield at the Windhover Center for the Performing Arts, Rockport, MaPercy MacKaye’s 1922 poem, Dogtown Common, is a beloved document of Gloucester lore. It tells the story of two legendary figures, Tammy Younger and her niece Judy Rhines, shunned for practicing witchcraft. It was inspired by Charles Mann’s 1906, The Story of Dogtown or In the Heart of Cape Ann, that compiles recollections about the outsiders, berry-pickers, subsistence farms and self-proclaimed witches that inhabited Dogtown after it was abandoned in the early 1800’s.The poem has a history with The Windhover Center for the Performing Arts, where Ina Hahn performed it more than once. Lisa Hahn, the current Executive Director, asked Annisquam resident and Director Peter Littlefield to do a new production. Windhover had been a dairy farm. It seemed the perfect place to stage the poem because it looks the way Dogtown must have looked before it was abandoned after the Revolution. Windhover’s production combines the idea of an installation with a staged reading like a ghost story. The performers sit around a table and build an image of Dogtown as they enact the poem. The performance is as fully staged as a conventional play, but we put the emphasis on the imaginative act of engaging a poetic text.Cast: Peter Berkrot, Judy Brain, Duncan Hollomon, Cass Tunick, Brain Weed and Deirdre Weed Music arranged and performed by Kathleen Adams
