The Skev Report – Skevvie Doo told us last week that it's been really fun beating the U.S. Taekwondo kids at chess. He got a new phone for free and came in wearing his bluetooth. He wasn’t talking to anyone on it, though. His beard is very full, so much so he planned on getting a trimmer that day. He loves listening to Pandora and prefers a “Soul” themed station that he customized. Speaking of soul singers, Skev also remarked that Aretha Franklin’s, “Natural Woman” really gets him through the day. I couldn’t believe that he didn’t have stories from his high school reunion, other than that it was fun. B-O-R-I-N-G. There’s an epic tale in there, I know it!
I case you haven’t heard, BHS won the Superbowl! Woo-hoo! Bruce had a blast this season as a coach and is wearing his black and orange today to celebrate. Josh made Beverly cookies and Gail made a cake with eggnog frosting. We’re compiling a photo album of all the Bev Rec staff who played, coached, cheered or marched. Also want pics of staff members who attended the game. If you have pics, send them to me at jruelle@beverlyma.gov, please!
We’re also compiling a photo album of prom pictures! Bev Rec staff, former and current, please send us your prom pictures to be featured on Facebook during prom season, 2011.
THE BEST OF NORTH POLE CALLING – Two more forms came in, asking our Santas to mention that the kids are, “doing great going on the potty” and “going in the big girl potty now”. Will the kids be freaked out that Santa knows that?
Bruce and Josh successfully tested the Beverly's New Year confetti cannon with confetti made by our own, diamond-cut shredder.

Something’s Missing…
First Thing Missing – Another tree from the ACME Jr. side of Lynch Park. A majestic old oak was rotten and hollowed out inside and taken down by a tree service first thing this morning. It was a sad sight and it kept me from parking behind the building. Blah.
Second Thing Missing – Me, I had the day off yesterday to finish xmas shopping. Pandora and Toys R' Us are now the proud owners of my hard-earned money.
Third Thing Missing – Wallpaper in the main office. Josh has been arriving early and leaving late, a result of non-stop wallpaper removal. We haven’t decided what color to paint the clean, new walls. Gail thinks I should be in charge of choosing, but I can't handle the responsibility. In a past poll, you helped decide to paint the office purple and I hope that sticks…
Tonight is the Recreation Commission’s annual dinner at the Beverly Depot. Mmmmm, steak… mmmmm, salad bar. Delicious morsels aside, I was forced to prepare an year end report, which was a blessing in disguise because I reflected on all of our 2010 accomplishments. Bev Rec RULES, is basically what I deduced.
No Skev yet this week, but I think he’ll show up soon. He has stories from Thanksgiving Eve and his BHS reunion. I… cannot… wait…
Want to volunteer to work at Beverly's New Year? Please let me know. You can take a two-hour shift at the glamorous GAR Hall, assisting with costumes for the procession. Contact me!
New "Missing" poll, green box, to the right. Vote!

Screwy Computey
The internet is on the fritz, so who knows how much blogging we'll be able to do before this site goes down...
The Skev Report - We have "elfed" Skev! Check it out on our Facebook page or click here. Skevvy Lou Who popped in today not only to update us on the growth of his beard, but also to share his MTEL triumph. He feels that he did well on the test, so congrats to him. He played with Stella, chatted with us and watched the now famous video of Marconi Radio. Pretty soon he was off to U.S. Taekwondo and we don't expect to see him again until after T-Giving.
Josh has started stripping wallpaper in the main office. Woo-hoo!
Only a few more days to vote on the Beverly Superbowl poll. Come on, show your school spirit! To the right, bottom of the green box.

Say a Little Prayer for Skev!
Josh left a copy of the Oriental Trading catalog on my desk yesterday morning, open to a page advertising “Relaxable Pickles.”
Apparently, Molly is reverting back to Snooki mode (leopard-print dress and now pickles!) and planning to buy these stress-relievers for x-mas gifts. Josh is worried that next she’s going to ask for her own tanning booth. GTL and Merry Christmas, Molly!
The Skev Report – Skev-a-reeno popped by and he is sticking with Beard-vember. He's trimmed a few stray whiskers, but is rocking a much fuller array of facial hair. Skev’s taking the MTELs tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed or say a little prayer for him, Dionne Warwick-style. He’s looking forward to his 5th year BHS reunion and all the after parties that are sure to follow. We watched a slew of YouTube clips, and laughed our heads off. Speaking of clips, I found this short one of Skev at this year's VIP Dinner. Enjoy!
Last week’s poll indicated that on Thanksgiving, most of you plan to watch football, some will sleep in and only one will run the Wild Turkey 5K. No one is preparing the feast, so maybe we need to run more cooking classes.
New poll on Beverly football, to the right in the green box… black, black, black, black, black, let's go black...

No Shave November
The Skev Report - We were blessed with a visit from the Skev Piper this morning. He almost immediately declared that he is sporting a beard because it is "No Shave November" and then clarified that it only applies to guys, ladies don't have to participate. He's considering becoming a member of another club, maybe the ICC or the Gloucester Elks. Mike showed us his new western, snap button shirt, which we all liked. Everything is going well at US Taekwondo and he has been busy catering, as well. He is so busy that he only recently caught up on the social scene with Josh and his buds. Skev has challenged me to go to Kitty's on Thanksgivign Eve - my most unfavorite time to publicly socialize. We'll see...
THE PENALTY BOX - Is in da house. Is this good news or bad news? You decide.
Have a safe weekend, y'all. The weather is supposed to be very nice, so get outside to your favorite Beverly park!

Salute
Tomorrow is Veteran's Day and our office will be closed. We'll be back on Friday, 11/12.
New Thanksgiving poll, to the right, lower part of the green box.
Our last poll was interesting, showing that many people DO give candy to high schoolers, for fear of having their cars egged. What about the Montserrat kids who were canvassing the Cove neighborhood? Is that a case of poor college kids or Halloween enthusiasts? I don't know.
THE BEST OF NORTH POLE CALLING
Under the section “Remarks you would like Santa to make to your child during their phone call” a parent writes: "...please keep trying to eat vegetables." Sounds like Santa Josh must threaten to leave this kid carrots and celery, no chocolate. Poor kid!

Johnny Be Good!
Holidays are here and North Pole Calling forms are rolling in! What's that, you ask? A wonderful, FREE Bev Rec tradition where our staff act like Santa and call unsuspecting children, wishing them a Merry Christmas and promising toys if they are good boys and girls. Guardians fill out a form, describing their kids and the behaviors they would like our Santas to help them reinforce or avoid. It can get pretty funny, thus the new blog feature…

Under the section “Remarks you would like Santa to make to your child during their phone call” a parent writes: "I hear you have been potty training." I have to be here when Skev Claus says that…
There is still time to vote in the latest poll. Look to the right...
Josh has painted the door! Woo-hoo!
