My View of Life on the Dock
Note that The Gloucester 18 is not the Lifetime movie but a documentary about the real girls themselves. I haven’t seen it but from the blog it does seem that the material and the young women are treated with respect.
Again I have not seen it but this story seems like it is their story in documentary form and not a sensationalized account like the Lifetime movie.

Kristen Grieco a former writer for the Gloucester Times has a blog about The Gloucester 18 and teen pregnancy.
From the Blog-
Kristen, a former reporter for the Gloucester Daily Times, first broke the news of something strange going on with the Gloucester High teen pregnancy rate in March 2008, when only 10 girls were pregnant and rumors were surfacing of a clique becoming pregnant on purpose. She is originally from the Boston area and has an M.S. in Journalism from Boston University.

In the blog she talks about teen pregnancy in general and has interviews with Kim Daly, the nurse practitioner who was at Gloucester High when the teen pregnancy scandal broke out.

Kristina Brendel writes- I shot these last week after stopping by Capt Joe’s so my son (visiting from Arizona) could get the REAL experience. He won’t actually eat seafood, but he and I wanted to shoot some pix around Gloucester.

Live! At the Rhumb Line, this week only, something new and different: “modern” blues. Ha-Ha-Ha. Actually, I would like to introduce you-all to Mr. Evan Goudreau, young lion, glitarist, and big man on the hippocampus these days. He’s been around and plays all over the east coast, singin’ and playin’ his way to electronic stardom. He’s all over the place on the web; czech him out!
Also joining us for the first time is Andrew Jones, on drummbs. First heard him playing with Mark Earley, so you know he’s gotta be good. Of course, Greg T. will be there with his hat and smokin’ catarrh, and myself, as well. Doo come.

Livvy’s been my best model from the time she was a tiny kitten. It’s the only thing she’s cooperative about!

Here the boys are getting ready to offload a pile of lobster traps. The cold water temperature haas made the lobstering activity slow down to a crawl and the time will be better spent fixing broken gear and making repairs than going out to catch very few lobsters this time of year. When the last load of traps comes in it is a big relief for lobstermen. It’s the end of another season and hopefully they’ve made enough to carry them through the winter.
