Christmas Eve I was at a wonderful party at the beautiful and welcoming home of Grace and Guiseppe Numerosi chatting with Heidi Dallin when she was suddenly surrounded by a group of girls eager to talk with her. She greeted them all warmly, laughed and joked, and was so sweet with them. Grace corralled the girls and we managed to get a phone snapshot of the energetic troupe.
Heidi teaches the Youth Acting Workshop and all four girls were in Gloucester Stage’s annual hit production of “Holiday Delights.” She gives tirelessly of herself to all the kids in the Gloucester Stage and public school plays, makes everyone feel special and uniquely deserving of their roles, and has a real gift for getting the best out of her aspiring thespians. A heartfelt thanks to Heidi Dallin for all that she does for Gloucester youth!

Earl Foote Will Be Playing at Machaca in Gloucester Friday Night of Fiesta.
This is a follow up about the public meeting held by Gloucester City Councilor Scott Memhard February 15, 2018 at Gloucester Lyceum & Sawyer Free Public Library on beach traffic and parking with a focus on his ward. This post includes Councilor Memhard’s meeting notes, and the Beach & Traffic Ad Hoc committee presentation to City Council. Look for information and maps related to Long Beach, Good Harbor Beach, Stage Fort Park, and more. Chances are your ideas or concerns were mentioned–doublecheck for yourself. Future public meetings to be announced.
Here’s the presentation packet to the City Council from the Gloucester Beach Parking and Traffic Ad Hoc Committee, January 2017
Here’s Councilor Memhard’s recap of the Summer Beach and Traffic public meeting held at Sawyer Free Library February 16, 2018 (advertised in the Beacon, Gloucester Daily Times, and elsewhere long in advance):
“The Ward 1 Beach Parking Ordinance community meeting last night at the library was well attended. We had a lively airing of concerns and opinions, addressing the specific Parking Ordinance proposed changes, and general, wide-ranging discussion of the problem and various potential solutions, including:
> expanded off-site parking* and trolly/bus service to the beaches; > better signage notifying drivers that lots are full and closed, with posted directions to alternate parking options; and > other practical steps to relieve severe safely, access, and disruption from on-street parking congestion in our beach neighborhoods.“
*park n ride options would ease traffic especially with smartphone reservations/options. Locales like Rockport, Manchester, Provincetown limit cars. Several lots mentioned maximizing extant options such as negotiating with Stop&Shop, Shaws, Fuller, Blackburn, schools, etc. Stage Fort Shuttle already established and more train/bike. Train-trolley services have a rich history here.
