The "You. Are. Beautiful. – Tribute to Warriors" show is now up at LAT 43 in Gloucester!
Dear Cape Ann Community,
The "You. Are. Beautiful. – Tribute to Warriors" show is now up at LAT 43 in Gloucester! This special event to celebrate art and support our wounded vets is this Monday, July 8 from 6:30-9:30pm. Tickets are $20/person and 100% of the ticket price goes to benefit the Semper Fi Fund. You can buy tickets at the door or here: http://youarebeautiful.eventbrite.com/
Through this body of work, I am proud to share the voices and portraits of five veterans, four of whom are from Massachusetts. All five of the veterans I photographed will be at the event, including Corporal Evan Reichenthal, USMC.
Evan decided he wanted to become a Marine when he was in middle school. After graduating from high school in 2009, he enlisted and would see his dream of pursuing the ultimate profession to test one’s mind, body and spirit, come true.
In December 2010, Evan’s unit deployed to a small base in Marjah in southern Afghanistan. Evan was an infantryman and was on foot patrol on January 5, 2011 when he stepped on an improvised explosive device (IED). The explosion severed his right leg, damaged his left calf, destroyed his right elbow and sent shrapnel throughout most of his body.
Evan underwent 26 surgeries following his injury. He was awarded the Purple Heart for his service. Evan applied the same calm determination he maintained in becoming a Marine to his recovery. His will to adapt and overcome continues to make him a warrior. As he says, “My body may break but my mind cannot.”
Evan would say he is not a hero because he was just doing his job. I think he’s a hero, and sometimes even heroes need help. This is why we are doing this event.
Evan is also on the cover of my book, "You. Are. Beautiful. Volume 01 – Portraits and Poems." I launched it in April, and it features 26 people I photographed for my project, veterans and beyond, across Boston and surrounding areas, Chicago and surrounding areas, Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco.
100% of net proceeds from the book go to charities that empower wounded vets and at-risk youth. The book is available at Lula’s Pantry in Rockport, Willow Rest in Gloucester and online at: http://ThiLinh.pixpasites.com.
I hope you are inspired by this work, and I hope you will pay this message forward. You are beautiful.
Sincerely,
Thi Linh Wernau, Rockport, MA

The Results Of The Good Morning Gloucester Italian Sub Challenge
I decided to end the nomination period early so we could perhaps catch the nominated sub shop/bakeries off guard. There was 4 nominees clearly in the lead at the time of the tally.
Our judges Craig Kimberley, Ed Collard, Toby Pett and Erik Lorden each individually placed their orders for a large Italian sub with oil and seasoning at the respective sub shop/bakeries. Again, wanting to perhaps throw off the nominated sub shops/bakeries that may have been on the lookout for a sub order for a “Large Italian Sub with everything on it”.
I assigned a point system that heavily favored taste (totally subjective) and value cost per pound (totally non-subjective) with 40 possible points awarded in each of those two categories.
Remaining was 20 possible points for equal distribution of meat and condiments. 5 points for the least equally distributed meat and condiments 20 points for the sub with the most equally distributed meat and condiments.
The scoring went as follows-
Cost per pound
Sclafanis $6.09 per lb- 40 points
Virgilios $7.14 per lb 34 points
Destinos $7.16 per lb 34 points
Jeff’s Variety $7.44 per lb 32 points
Taste 1-40 possible points
average of all 4 judges-
Sclafanis 33 points
Virgilios 21.25 points
Destinos 26.25 points
Jeff’s Variety 25.75 points
Equal Distribution of Meat
5-10-15-20 least Equally distributes to most equally distributed
Sclafanis- 10
Virgilios- 15
Destinos- 5
Jeff’s Variety-20
Total of Scores Combined for Your Winner
SCLAFANIS 83
JEFF’S VARIETY 77.75
VIRGILIO’S 70.25
DESTINO’S 65.25
Again I’d like to thank the four judges- Ed Collard, Toby Pett, Craig Kimberley and Erik Lorden. Thanks to Kim Smith and Craig Kimberley for taking photos.
I’d also like to reinforce that there’s no shame in coming in 4th.
It’s true what they say, just like the Oscars, just to tally the number of votes to be nominated makes you a formidable joint to get a sub in the first place. No losers all winners in my book. I wouldn’t hesitate to order a sub from any of these places as well as many other sub shops in GTown that didn’t get nominated.
We’re crazy lucky that way, spoiled with great eateries in Gloucester.
#BOOM!

Update: It’s Been Decided. The GMG Gloucester’s Best Italian Sub Challenge Judging Has Just Commenced- Results Coming
Click the arrow to watch the set-up ordering video-
So I’ve got an idea for a challenge.
Top four nominations for best Gloucester Italian Sub as submitted in the comments on this post.
To submit a nomination you click the title of this post and then under the post where it says “Leave a comment”, click that and write the name of the sub joint who you consider makes the best Italian Sub in Gloucester.
Nomination period runs through Friday at 8PM.
Once we tally up the top four sub shops according to your nominations, 4 GMG contributors independently and at the same time order the exact same subs to go from the nominated sub shops. We pick them up and bring them back to the dock.
Then we place them on the digital scale for the Weigh In. We will divide the weight into the price and come up with the best value weight wise. Then we cut it in half and then in quarters to look at the cross section for the equal distribution of meat. If a place loads up the sub in the middle and leaves the ends empty they will be exposed.
Then we each take a quarter of the sub and grade based on taste.
We will present the findings in a post to the readership.
I’m pumped for this challenge!
So start sending in your nominations now in the comment section of this post (again if you don’t see words that say leave a comment directly below this post then click on the title of the post and you should see where you can submit a nomination)
Also please share the link through Facebook or twitter using the buttons below the post to get the most nominations as possible.

Gloucester folks complete Tough Mudder
Gloucester resident Chris Mangos and two Gloucester daytimers* Joanna Smart and Deb Fowler, completed the Tough Mudder over the weekend in Gilford, New Hampshire. The Tough Mudder is a 12 mile obstacle course, up and down the steep terrain of Gunstock Mountain. Obstacles included diving into an ice pool (affectionately called the Artic Enema), crawling through dark muddy tunnels, lifting and carrying logs up hill, and running through mud pits with electrically charged wires hanging overhead. Why would anyone do this? To challenge themselves, to break out of their humdrum all-work-and-no-play lifestyle, and for the fun and camaraderie of the experience. Most participants are part of a team, and with a motto of "no man left behind," any Mudder who needs a hand can count on one of their teammates to help. The Tough Mudder also donates a percentage of their profits to The Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that assists severely injured veterans.
Part of the training for Chris, Joanna and Deb included jumping in the cold waters of Magnolia Beach in April, and running the trails around Goose Cove Reservoir and Ravenswood Park. Although they are suffering sore muscles, all completed the course in good condition! Job well done!
*Gloucester daytimers = anyone who is employed in Gloucester but does not live here.

Historic Steam Ferry Prudence Visits Gloucester
Fred Bodin Submits-
Historic Steam Ferry Prudence Visits Gloucester
The 62 foot long Prudence docked in Gloucester yesterday on her way from Belfast ME to Greenwich CT. The owner and two crew came into the gallery and told me about the 102 year old ship. She was originally steam powered and built of wood at East Boothbay in 1911. Prudence ferried passengers from Tiverton to Prudence Island in Narragansett Bay (RI) for 50 years. Later, the vessel gave water-based tours of the Kennedy compound in Hyannis. The Kennedys themselves also chartered Prudence for parties. She then went back to Maine for sightseeing on the Penobscot River, and will now be giving tours in Greenwich, Connecticut.
