  Provincetown Community Resource Guide: summer 2021 edition!
     Created by the Provincetown Health Department's "Meeting Needs" coalition
         that includes town departments, non-profits, healthcare providers,
    and the faith-based community, the Provincetown Community Resource Guide

     Updated from the March COVID-19 edition, it includes contact info for many

Be Shark Smart. Currently, there is no single alternative or suite of alternatives

that can 100% guarantee the safety of individuals who choose to the enter the
water.
       Look for products developed by the Regional Shark Working Group to increase public awareness
       and safety, including beach signage, brochures, purple shark flags, the Sharktivity app, and a
       “shark smart” video.

Ocean Safety Basics
      Never turn your back to the ocean.
      Never swim alone. Swim, kayak, paddle, and surf in groups.
      Avoid murky and low visibility water.
      Lifeguards are on duty mid-June through mid-September.
      Stay close to the shore where rescuers could reach you if needed.
      Ocean water temperature averages between 60-70 degrees throughout the summer.
      Be alert for rip currents, shore break, and strong undertows.
      If caught in a rip current:
             Remain calm to conserve energy and think clearly.
             Don't fight the current. Swim out of the current in a direction parallel to the shoreline.
             When out of the current, swim towards the shore.
             If you cannot swim out of the current, float or calmly tread water.
             If you cannot reach the shore, draw attention to yourself - wave your arms & yell for help.
             If you see someone in trouble - get help from a lifeguard. If there is no lifeguard on duty,
             call 911.

Beach Safety Basics
      Wear sun protection.
      Glass containers are not allowed on national seashore beaches.
      Rafts, rubber tubes, masks, and snorkels are not allowed on lifeguarded beaches.
      Sand collapses easily. Undercut cliffs can collapse at any time without warning. Deep holes can
      lead to burial and suffocation. Do not climb slopes and dunes or dig holes deeper than knee
      level of the smallest person in your group.

2021 marks the tenth year that Cape Cod National Seashore’s Bike Safety Committee has
hosted bike safety events to provide awareness and reduce the occurrence and severity of bike
accidents at the national seashore.

This year’s “Bike Safety at the Seashore” events are slated for July 30 at Province Lands
Visitor Center in Provincetown and August 6 at Salt Pond Visitor Center in
Eastham. Both events will run from 10 am to noon.

"Every year we medevac cyclists with serious head injuries to Boston hospitals,” said
Superintendent Brian Carlstrom. “We need to get the word out about how to bike safely
on Cape Cod. We're partnering with towns on the Outer Cape to sponsor events that encourage
safe practices and teach young people and parents that it’s cool to wear a helmet, and it's the
law."

Both events are free and open to the public. They feature helmet fittings, fun activities for kids,
bicycle safety checks, and educational displays. Prizes for participation, such as helmets and
bike accessories may be available while supplies last.
Educational topics will include how to fit a helmet properly, preparing for a ride with an ABC
bicycle quick check, the consequences of a bicycle crash, and interesting facts about bicycle
safety at the seashore. The event also promotes the fitness benefits of bicycling, and there will

               Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC)
              Awarded Grant For New Provincetown Center
The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy’s plans to create a new Shark Center
in Provincetown received a major funding boost this week.
AWSC has been awarded a grant from the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism through
a new program to support the state’s tourism industry and cultural facilities. The grant is being
funded by Destination Development Capital as part of a post-pandemic economic recovery
plan.

AWSC will receive $77,550 to be used for upgrades and renovations to create a new Shark
Center at the nonprofit’s location at 16 MacMillan Wharf in Provincetown.
The new center is scheduled to open in May 2022.

“We are thrilled to be a recipient of this grant and be recognized as an important educational
and cultural destination,” said AWSC CEO and cofounder Cynthia Wigren. “The work we do
researching great whites and educating the public is more critical now than ever before. This
funding will allow us to improve our facility and expand our impact with Cape visitors and the
local community alike.”

AWSC is one of 34 tourist destinations across the state that will be the first to benefit from
these new DDC Grants in the upcoming year. A total of $2 million in capital grants were
announced by the Baker-Polito Administration to provide funding for projects that expand,
construct, restore or renovate Massachusetts tourism attractions.
Since 2013, AWSC has worked in collaboration with shark science experts, community partners,
public and government officials, researchers, donors, friends and followers to augment
scientific research, improve factors that affect public safety, and educate both the local and
broader community to inspire a greater understanding of white sharks and conservation of the
species. AWSC operates a Shark Center in Chatham where visitors can learn more about white
sharks.

                                                         on August 7
                                    On August 7, 1961, President Kennedy signed legislation
                                    authorizing Cape Cod National Seashore. Established out of
                                    concern that the Outer Cape would be developed and
                                    commercialized as was occurring elsewhere along the
                                    Eastern seaboard, this legislation was considered a
                                    milestone in conservation history. Sixty years later, forty
                                    miles of pristine sandy beach, marshes, ponds, and
                                    uplands support diverse plant and animal species.
                                    Lighthouses, cultural landscapes, and wild cranberry bogs
offer a glimpse of Cape Cod's past and continuing ways of life. Millions of people flock to the
Lighthouses, cultural landscapes, and wild cranberry bogs
offer a glimpse of Cape Cod's past and continuing ways of life. Millions of people flock to the
national seashore each year to explore its resources and stories and participate in its abundant
recreational activities.

    To celebrate the seashore’s 60 th birthday,
               the National Park Service
       will host a free encore performance of
          Payomet Performing Arts Center’s
      ​p rofessional circus show, “Saddle-Up!”

The show will be held on Saturday, August 7 from 6 to 7 pm at
the outdoor amphitheater on the shores of Salt Pond in
Eastham. The show tells the story of an aspiring cowgirl who
dreams of working on a ranch that has a “men only” policy. It’s
a rooting good time until the prospector smells something
fishy. This wild west adventure has juggling, aerials, acrobatics,
and live music. Families are invited to stay after for photos with
the stage props.

Bench and lawn seating are available, with plenty of room to
spread out. Picnicking is welcome. Bug spray is suggested. Per
CDC guidance, those not fully vaccinated must wear masks outdoors where 6’ of social distance
cannot be maintained. In the event of rain, the performance will be canceled.

       Several ranger-guided programs are scheduled for August 7,
including a shark and seal walk in Truro, a walk along Nauset Marsh in Eastham, and an
outdoor talk at Salt Pond Visitor Center about Henry Beston and the Outermost House.
The programs will include reflections on the national seashore over the past sixty years.

Campus), 3 Edgewood Way right off Route 6
WHEN: August 20th and 21st , 6:00pm
TICKETS: for the15th Provincetown Dance Festival are $35 with a reduced ticket price of $20
for students. Tickets can be purchased online at www.castlehill.org or by

This year’s event will include seven artists, presenting eight works: featuring internationally acclaimed
Boston Ballet and the Paul Taylor Dance Company, as well as world premiere works made especially for
the Provincetown Dance Festival and it’s new outdoor stage at Edgewood Farm, 3 Edgewood Way, Truro.
Festival Director Adam Miller said, “The new stage is a dream come true. When it was planned, we didn’t
even know how important a space it would be in this new world of performance challenges. It is such a
beautiful new venue for live performance, so we decided to pull out all the stops and bring some truly
stellar artists to celebrate this new space. The Outer Cape now has a new performance space to be truly
proud of.”

The Festival will continue to celebrate the range and diversity of today’s contemporary dance landscape.
The works will include the return of festival favorites, Sokeo Ros, with his inspiring fusion of Hip-hop
and the legacy of Cambodian dance, and a special return engagement of tap dance artists, Orlando
Hernandez. Thanks to a grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts, Hernandez will present a
world premiere with live music by saxophonist Leland Baker.

Critically acclaimed dancer from the Paul Taylor Dance Company, Eran Bugge, will perform a solo
choreographed specifically for the Festival and, for the first time, The Provincetown Dance Festival will
present Chyrstyn Kentroy and Paulo Arrais from the Boston Ballet, who will present two contemporary
ballet works.

The Hartford based Scapegoat Garden returns with a new work conceived by the dramatic dance
innovator Deborah Goffe, and from Seattle, comes a rising star of the contemporary dance work, Jade
Curtis Solomon-Solo Magic. Intense, inspiring and provocative, Curtis Solomon performed at the festival
several years ago and was a huge audience favorite.

Another audience favorite, the Portland Ballet, returns with a contemporary ballet duet.

The Provincetown Dance Festival continues its collaboration with co-producers, Adam Miller and The
Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill for over 15 years.

  Castle Hill’s Executive Artistic Director Cherie Mittenthal states “ After years of
  hard work and planning, I am so proud and excited to see such a beautiful new
  performance venue become a part of Castle Hill’s family. Outer Cape audiences
 can now expect many great performing experiences in an ideal outdoor setting.”

Legendary fundraiser, the Swim for Life & Paddler Flotilla, sponsored by the Provincetown Community Compact,
will Make Waves on Saturday, September 11, 2021 with a new harbor swim route, a new time, and a new post-
Swim Mermaid Tea!

Catching the wave of enthusiasm and relief as the pandemic winds down, the 34th Provincetown Swim for Life &
Paddler Flotilla, we welcome swimmers, volunteers, kayakers, boaters and the public back to town for this
quintessential Provincetown tradition. The event has raised over $5M since 1988 for AIDS, women’s health and the
community.

Artist Jim Youngerman, longtime Swim for Life swimmer from Lenox, MA, has created the 2021 Swim for Life
design. For registration details and donations, contact Swim4Life.org.

The new shoreline swim route will run along Provincetown Harbor’s East End from the beach at Snail Road to the
new town-owned East End Waterfront Park, a 1.2 mile distance. The Swim will coincide with high tide at 3:00 pm.
High tea, catered as usual by Farland Provisions, will be served under the tent at Waterfront Park. Registration to
be determined. Please see the website for details: swim4life.org/schedule.
For those who prefer fresh water, the organizers are awaiting permits from the towns of Eastham and Wellfleet for
the use of the Great Ponds in both towns. These Swims will be open for a limited number of swimmers. Those
unable to Swim on the Cape in person are invited to participate virtually. During the 2020 pandemic, swimmers,
bikers and paddlers participated and raised pledges in twenty-six states.

The three artists' individual works are collectively dramatic and compelling for the way they play off of
  one another's shapes, colors, and dimensions. "A perfect study in the harmony of diversity," says
Bowersock. "It's the only time they will be exhibited together and that, alone, is reason to join us in the
   experience of uniqueness, harmony, and complement these artists put forth, as a collection."

    Bowersock Gallery will explore the modern still life with a dazzling array of 'takes' on inanimate
    objects. Subject: insentient bits and bobs, is largely an expression of both hyper
    and traditional realism where artists reflect upon the standard-bearer flower
    still, more often than not via arranged objects. Some reference the traditional, while others
    choose the decidedly contemporary.
     "The popularity of still life never wanes," Curator and Founder Steve Bowersock says. "If
    seventeen years in the gallery has taught us anything, it's that 'insentient bits and bobs'
    please. And literally, 'still life' is just that: still...life...as in a pause. Whether humorous, political,
    or narrative, these works highlight a beautiful and commanding calm which gives us just the
    perfect respite time to - breathe. It's not only a display of wonderfully placed objects to be
    viewed, but as well, for us to stop...look...be soothed...and enjoy"!
     Featured, are the paintings of Julie Beck, Natalie Featherston, Noriko Fox, Sydney Bella Sparrow,
    and Brittany Haynes. Subject: insentient bits and bobs also includes David Random's mixed
    media sculpture, where "found objects" are repurposed, turned on their heads, assembled and
    transformed into something entirely new - sometimes a recognizable item, other times a
    creation completely abstract.
    In addition to the themed center room, the gallery features two other rooms representing
    Bowersock's scores of talented artists, exhibited salon style.

Due to the Pandemic, we felt it was best to not have huge crowds at Castle Hill quite yet.

“This is not only Castle Hill’s biggest annual fundraiser and a great way to support the arts on
the Cape,” says Cherie Mittenthal, Castle Hill’s Executive Artistic Director. “We look forward to
next year’s auction which will be Castle Hill’s 50th Anniversary!”
