I’d like to thank them for spurring even more sales of the caps.
The charity is now up for grabs and if there is a worthy cause that could use the donation we’d be happy to send it their way since these well heeled folks have deemed that they don’t need our donation. Seeing as they have plenty of dough I’m sure they will come up with a much more sizable donation for the Greg Swinson fitness room to benefit GHS athletes.
It’s nice to know that these people don’t have anything better to protest than a silly piping plover meme but these are the times we live in.
My response:
Buy a cap if you have a smidgen of a sense of humor and can’t stand this elitist bullshit.
Have a nice day and oh by the way, I’m bumping up the percentage of the proceeds from 5% to 20%.
With all the money these elitists have rolling around they should be able to bury my donation.
Win for the fitness room and win for whatever other charity wants to claim it
Have a nice day.

About Windhover
For more than 50 years. Windhover has served the community as a place to learn, perform, and share the beauty of dance and the related arts in a natural setting.
In 1967, modern dancer Ina Hahn and her husband Herb Hahn purchased the last farm in Pigeon Cove, a small village near Rockport, Massachusetts, and created Windhover. In less than a year, Herb Hahn converted the farm’s barn into a dance studio, the stable into a library, out-buildings into dormitories and the main house into a dining-kitchen complex. In 1968, Windhover opened as a performing arts camp for girls, drawing students from the US, Canada, and Mexico. New buildings included a chapel/theater, a second dance studio, and an outdoor stage.
In 1983 Windhover became a 501(c) (3) non-profit foundation that offered dance classes, teen dance intensives, residencies and performances in all of the performing arts to the Cape Ann Community and beyond. In 2016, Lisa Hahn became Executive Director of Windhover and is ushering in a new era with more performances, classes and retreats than ever before, Windhover is reaching out to collaborate with other groups, hold spiritual retreats and meditative events, and host conversations of topics of interest to the community.Dance. Theater and Music remain the focus.

I always love our busy harbor. Large fishing vessels, pleasure boats, gig rowers, tour boats, whale watches, kayaks, seagulls, seals….and Joey. If you look closely you’ll see Joey heading home after making a quick departure when the sudden rain had subsided. Skiff life.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Schooner Isabella (to be fair, I have a soft spot in my heart for ALL of the historic schooners….) and was glad to see she is being lovingly repaired/restored at the Maritime Gloucester railways. She’s so beautiful even out of the water!

There’s something about summer that makes us want to drink pink wine. I don’t mean that sickly sweet stuff that some of us remember from the ‘70s and ‘80s. Modern rosés are crisp, light, flavorful, and dry. And they are perfect for a summer afternoon or evening on the porch, the beach, or the boat. I’ve picked out five rosés for this week’s tasting, which means that along with the four rosés available to taste on our wine tasting machine, you’ll be able to taste nine rosés on Saturday. Come down and find your favorite! — Kathleen
Wines
Casa Canevel Proseco Rosé DOC, Treviso, Italy
Varietals: 85%Glera,15 % pinot noir, Alc. 11%. Located in the finest region for the production of Prosecco, Valdobbiadene, Casa Canevel (meaning small cellar) graces the table with this shimmering rosé spumante. Casa Canevel produces refined sparkling wines from the local Glera grape. The rosé pours a light, golden pink and is fizzy in the glass. Aromas of strawberries, grapefruit, and apples are followed by an elegant acidity and fruit nuances on the palate. Perfect as an aperitif, the wine also pairs well with hors d’oeuvres, fish, and poultry. $17.99
Chateau de Campuget Rosé, Nimes, France
Varietals: 30%Grenache noir, 70% Syrah Alc.13% The Château de Campuget is above all the adventure of a family from the North who came to settle during the World War II, not far from the Mediterranean… in the Costières de Nîmes. Since 1942, a single objective of Chateau Campuget has been to produce Great Wines of the Rhone Valley while respecting terroir and identity. The rolled pebbles of the Rhône, the sun of the South, the Mistral, the Syrah, the Grenache are some fundamental elements that make up the identity of Campuget. Domaine de Campuget dates back to 1640, but they make a very modern rosé. Its color is peony pink, with aromas of red berries and currants. On the palate, raspberry and strawberry flavors blend with a crisp acidity to make a very refreshing glass of wine. Pairs well with picnic foods and anything from the grill. $14.99
Domaine de Capreoles Cossinelle, Beaujolais Villages, France. Varietal: Gamay Alc. 13% Capreoles means vine tendrils, and references the history and tradition of the vertical growth of the vine, the connections between growers and of the relationship to the earth, which is solid granite under the vineyard soil. This family-owned vineyard practices organic farming, and they named their rosé after the ladybugs (cossinelles) their daughter found in the vineyard during their first harvest. The wine is pale pink, with delicate peach and strawberry notes on the nose and palate. Pairs well with summer salads, seafood, and soft cheeses. $19.99
Herdade do Rocim Mariana 2021, Alentejo, Portugal
Varietals: Touriga Nacional, Aragonez, Alc.12.5%
Herdade do Rocim is located in the Lower Alentejo region of southern Portugal. The estate was founded in 2000 with the aim of focusing primarily on native varietals. Since purchasing the estate, Catarina Vieira and Pedro Ribeiro have completely regenerated the vineyards and built a new, state-of-the art winery. They planted higher-quality varietals, indigenous and local varieties, and also some international grapes, such as Syrah and Cabernet. They have also recently started to produce olive oil from 90-year-old trees, with the intention of recapturing the traditions of the region. The organic Mariana rosé is a delicate pink color, with red and blue berries on the nose and palate. It is medium-bodied and dry, with an earthy finish, and has good tannic structure, and balanced acidity. Pairs well with fish, shellfish, and pizza. $17.99
Domaine de Fontsainte Gris de Gris Rosé, (Kermit Lynch Selection) Corbières, France. Varietals: 90% Grenache Gris, 5% Carignan, 5% Mouvèdre, Alc. 12.5% The first vineyards at Domaine de Fontsainte, in the Corbières appellation, were planted by the Romans. Artifacts found in these vineyards, such as an old coin dating from the time of Marcus Agrippa in 25 A.D., are a testament to its antiquity. The original domain was built around a thermal spring, which was later named for the local, twelfth-century patron saint, Saint Siméon; hence Fontsainte—the saint’s fount. Yves Laboucarié’s family has been making wine here since the seventeenth century. The Fontsainte vineyards surround the hamlet of Boutenac in the area known as “The Golden Crescent.” This swath of land is one of the sunniest in the appellation of Corbières, enjoying south-southeast exposure, and protection from the cold, northeast winds by a large 500-hectare forest. The cooler sea breezes from the Mediterranean help this sun-soaked terroir achieve balance as well. A full-bodied and lush wine, brimming with strawberry summer fruit, but dry and crisp. Pairs well with shrimp cocktail and salad Niçoise. $17.99
