Lone white sail

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Cloudy weather does not divert from the beauty of mother nature.  Love the lone sail with Boston in the background.  Also, if you look closely, you can see a plane taking off and an egret.

“Sounds of Vienna” in Annnisquam

The Essex Piano Trio brings  “The Sounds of Vienna -Then and Now” to the Annisquam Village Church on Saturday, June 17, at 7:30 PM.  Violinist Ashley Offret, Cellist David Cabral, and pianist Beverly Soll play works of Schubert, Mozart, Pärt, Bolcom, Beethoven, and Haydn.

In its signature ‘Conversation among Friends’ manner, the Trio’s survey of Viennese repertoire resembles a musical feast, with Schubert’s Piano Trio in B flat major as the ‘main course.’ Other delights emanating from the Austrian ‘city of dreams’ complete the musical menu.

The historic, 1830’s  Village Church is an ideal venue for chamber music, with its intimate proportions, its wonderful acoustics, and its beautiful Steinway. Located at 820 Washington Street, Gloucester, MA.Parking allowed along Washington and Leonard Streets.  Suggested donation is $25. The church is handicap accessible, and a reception of Viennese delights will follow the performance in the downstairs Cove Room.

North Shore Sheds and Shacks

Posted on by Pat D

Many of you already know how much I enjoy looking at barns, especially those with character and stories waiting to be told. I’ve also been noticing various shacks and sheds along the North Shore that seem similarly full of character and untold tales. Here’s an entry that seems postcard worthy from Ispwich. This was a very pretty day but even if it wasn’t, I think this is worthy of a share.

House of Dreams

Building your dream home is a journey that often defies instant gratification. It’s a path filled with twists and turns, where doubts may arise, and the destination may seem elusive. However, on the serene shores of Rockport, one dream came to life in a way that surpassed all expectations.

There’s a bunch of psychopath Karens Flipping Out Because Of The Plover Stuff. I wasn’t gonna re-release it but they’ve pushed my hand. New Rubberized Logo Caps Are 🔥🔥🔥

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
Volume on for dramatic effect😁

They’re going sideways and I actually feel bad that they have to live in such an angry state all the time and think that people aren’t smart enough to know the plover stuff is satire.

There’s also a bunch that hate the fact that I sell anything. Maybe they think I force people to buy stuff.

The fact is that I really enjoy the creative process. I enjoy making clothing that I myself would like to wear and if anyone has a problem with me selling stuff I’d like to wear or that I think my people would like to wear, I’m sorry I’m not going to stop because you hate capitalism.

You don’t have to buy anything that I post here but if you like the stuff that I create because I think it’s good quality products selling for reasonable prices I appreciate your support.

We’re not commies here. I celebrate any of my friends that produce cool stuff and don’t begrudge them from making money from things that other people want to buy.

I created these awesome new 2 dimensional rubberized logo caps. IMO they stand apart in how crisp the logo details are and how vibrant the colors are. I’ll have them for sale tomorrow while they last. Unapologetically.

Also it’s Father’s Day coming up. Please support my friends that sell Merch like Pat Dalpiaz, Donna Ardizzoni, Enza Iacono at Lobster Trap Gifts, Pauline’s Gifts, One Ocean One Love Shop, Joe Higgins Fish Prints, Regina at Again and Again Sailbags, and alll the artists around town selling their wares.

The caps shown in the video will be for sale tomorrow evening. I also have about 15 SPF fishing shirts left for sale

Here’s the link to purchase-

10% of the Plover caps will once again go to the Gloucester Boxing Club who do a tremendous job with the entire community.

City of Gloucester Receives Award for Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for Fifth Consecutive Year

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Mayor Greg Verga is proud to announce that the City of Gloucester has been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. 

The report has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the program’s high standards, which includes demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the report. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. 

“It is incredible to receive this award and distinction from the GFOA; I am so proud of our City staff for their hard work on this annual project,” said Mayor Greg Verga. “The annual comprehensive financial report reflects the City’s commitment to financial transparency, accountability, and responsibility.”

The City of Gloucester has completed the ACFR since 2017 and has been awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting five times. The City recently submitted the ACFR for Fiscal Year 2022 and is one of only about 50 municipalities completing this annual report. GFOA advances excellence in government finance by providing best practices, professional development, resources, and practical research for more than 21,000 members and the communities they serve.
