A Call For Turbine Photos From Pippy (Yes, Pippy)
If any of our contributors have Turbine photos they would like to submit, let Pippy (yes Pippy) know
Good morning to you!
Joey, the ladies of the Good Neighbor association in Annisquam are putting together the annual dinner event at the end of January. The decoration theme is, “Harness the wind”.
Do you have any turbine photos in your archives that we might be able to use?
I know you leave soon and if it is not a burden, we would appreciate whatever you can give us.
Thanks so very much and the best in the new year.

Nancy Shaw From Lanesville Submits Some Storm Photos and a Deer Hanging From a Tree
Hi Joey!
For some strange reason I receive my Good Morning Gloucester Blog in the evening! So for me it is a Good Night Gloucester every night before I go to bed. Thank you for your informative and interesting blog.
Here are a few pics that I took yesterday in the Northeaster Storm. Also there is one of a deer hanging in a tree on Rt. 127 going towards Annisquam that I thought was rather different as it is out in public for all to see. My son who has the award winning Hunter Angler Gardner Cook blog (honest-food.net/blog1/) said it is a spike deer and very good eating. Although he thought hanging it in the front yard was rather brazen!
Happy New Year!

What Our Turbines Look Like From The South Shore via Boston Harbor Beacon
New Gloucester wind turbine visible from afar
Posted on November 6, 2012 by admin
You can see it! Last Saturday, I noticed the structure off the Northeast while I was out in the bay East of Boston Harbor. The new wind turbine in Gloucester is very clearly visible to boaters from outside Boston Harbor, and as it turns out, is even visible from as far away as the South Shore: Specifically, Turkey Hill in Hingham and the cliffs over Jerusalem Road in Cohasset. As such, this adds a great location point for boaters to help them determine there position and direction while far out on the wide open sea. The Gloucester turbine will be a good visible marker along with the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown, The Salem Power Station, the Lawson Tower and Driftway Wind Turbine in Scituate, and Thacher Island in Rockport.

Handgun Rumor At Gloucester High School Addressed In Statement From Gloucester Police Chief Leonard Campanello
Statement From Police Chief Leonard Campanello
Hi Joe,
Thanks for your call this a.m.
We received a call about 6:20am from a credible source indicating that a rumor was circulating that there was a statement made by a student of bringing a handgun to the High School today. There was also a rumor that threats of bringing a gun to school today were written on a wall in the bathroom of the High School. The Police Department immediately responded, checked the school, began investigating and contacted school officials and the Mayor.
As it stands now, we will have a police presence for the time being at the High School, both to continue to track down the source of these rumors and to dispel any fear that students, parents, and teachers may have. The school is open, quiet, classes are in session as normal and school admin is on scene as well. I am told by the super that if students are apprehensive, there are guidance counselors on scene to speak with them.
Thanks again,
Leonard Campanello
Chief of Police, City of Gloucester, MA
