Loren Doucette Interview On Palate and Palette

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hello Joey and Good Morning Gloucester friends!

I am a long-time reader and fan of GMG and love it because I find out about cool things to do, see, and eat in Cape Ann. (I also love all the great photos you post of sunsets and beautiful scenery).  It was through GMG that I learned about artist Loren Doucette, and I wanted to share the recent interview I posted on my site Palate & Palette with Loren:  https://open.substack.com/pub/palateandpalette/p/loren-doucette-painter?r=cioli&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I hope you will check it out, and also consider sharing it! 

Thanks for all you do!

Kind regards,

Amy

Exploring Flat Ledge Quarry

Posted on by Pat D

We did a little exploring of Flat Ledge Quarry in Rockport recently. Again, we took note of low water levels. But when the water is low, it opens you up to some new discoveries! At least it was new to us to see what appear to be the remains of some track / pulley method of hauling things up and out. Fascinating old metal hooks and pulleys along with old wooden rails. Interesting and disturbing at the same time!

Gloucester Firefighter Paramedics Help Deliver Healthy Baby in Ambulance on Route 128

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
Chief Eric Smith is pleased to announce that Gloucester Fire Department Firefighter Paramedics helped deliver a healthy baby in an ambulance on Route 128 Thursday morning.
On Thursday, Nov. 3, at approximately 8:15 a.m., the Gloucester Fire Department responded to a report of a woman in labor at a home on Veterans Way.
While transporting the mother to the hospital, labor reached advanced stages, and Firefighter Paramedics Lukas McRobb and George Black determined they needed to stop the ambulance to deliver the baby.
A 19-inch, 6-pound and 15-ounce healthy baby boy was delivered along Route 128 about a mile from Beverly Hospital. Following the delivery, the family was transported to the hospital, where they are reportedly in good health.
“Our firefighter paramedics are dedicated, highly-trained first responders with advanced medical skills that are vital in exactly these kinds of situations,” said Chief Smith. “A majority of the calls the Gloucester Fire Department responds to are medical in nature, and Firefighter Paramedics McRobb and Black are a credit to themselves and their entire department. All of us at the Gloucester Fire Department wish this family a healthy and happy future.”

Witch on Shore Road

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

There is quite a story about the witch on Shore Road.  Not sure of the whole story but a witch lived on Kettle Island and her daughter was in love with a captain of a ship.  Legend states that the daughter got away from the witch by leaving with the captain.  If anyone knows the whole story, please let me know.

 

Trager’s fundraiser/The Studio’s final night of the season.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The Studio closed out their 2022 season at Smith’s Cove with a packed “Wizard of Oz” themed Halloween bash. The evening doubled as a fundraiser for Chef Sal Valenti’s new puppy, Trager, who had to undergo a costly emergency surgery on his leg. Through kind donations and auctions for a baseball signed by recent Hall of Fame inductee, David “Big Papi” Ortiz, as well as a signed Patriots jersey by running back, LeGarrette Blount, they were able to raise $3,100 to go toward the cost of little “T-Roy’s” surgery. The Studio will make its 2023 seasonal debut come March.
