Gloucester’s Dr Brian Orr Interviewed For The Gloucester 18
Yesterday I interviewed Kristen Grieco, a producer of the Gloucester 18. we talked about the Documentary, how she broke the story when she worked for The Gloucester Times, and how The Gloucester 18 is different from The Lifetime movie that will air tonight. Look for the interview with Kristen today at 1PM
On The Gloucester 18 Blog Kristen posts-
Dr. Orr is interviewed in “The Gloucester 18″ and has been a strong voice in advocating for open discussions about teen reproductive issues. We caught up with him on the eve of “The Pregnancy Pact” airing on Lifetime to get his take on Gloucester today.
Gloucester pediatrician Dr. Brian Orr is the former director of the Gloucester High Health Clinic. He has worked with teenagers in Gloucester for many years and run health clinics for 16 years. Along with Kim Daly, Dr. Orr resigned in 2008 amidst controversy about offering birth control to students at Gloucester High.

You Wanna Contribute? You Wanna Be a Part Of The Action?
By now if you’ve been reading GMG for any amount of time and clicked on any of the pictures you know that I host the pictures you see on the blog on my Flickr page.
From the Flickr page I can transfer the pictures you see here to the blog and search for different photos by title or subject matter.
To see my Flickr page you can click here to see what I’m talking about.
I highly recommend Flickr as a place to host your pictures online for several reasons-
- For one, if you upload your pictures and add titles and tags to them you can always find them.
- You can do searches within your photostream and create sets and slide shows based on the name tags you enter for each picture when you upload them.
- If you upload your favorite pictures to an online photo hosting service like Flickr it doesn’t matter if your computer shits the bed because the pictures will be hosted on the Flickr servers so you don’t have to worry about losing them all when your computer becomes obsolete or crashes.
The reason I bring all this up and the point of this post is that I created a Good Morning Gloucester Group on Flickr in which you can join if you have a free Flickr account. When you upload your pictures to Flickr you have the ability to send them to different Groups (Good Morning Gloucester Group being one of them). So we now have our own community group of GMG pictures and if you add a Gloucester-centric picture to the GMG group I’ll likely add it to the Blog and give you credit.
I only added one picture so far, but it’s super easy to do with a click of a button once you join Flickr for free and upload a pic.
So open up a Flickr account, get to adding your pics and then join the Good Morning Gloucester Flickr Group

The Gloucester UK/US Connection
From Linn Parisi-
Hi Joey,
Got this alert from the Gloucestershire UK destination marketing organization executive director whom I’ve been communicating with re: the Gloucester UK/US connection.
The article was in their local paper’s equivalent of the GD Times’ Saturday “Talk of the Times”, on 1/4/10.
Very cool for Gloucester US, the lobster pot tree and Art Haven buoys!
With Art Haven’s Buoy Auction coming up, I thought it would be a good time to share the article and to let everyone know how far reaching the news about the lobster pot tree and Gloucester extends.
We’re all giving it our best shot at getting Gloucester out there, right?!
Thanks again for all you do- Linn

GIFT CERTIFICATES 4 LESS
Good Morning Gloucester!!!!
I took a bit of a break while we worked day and night to bring you the next big thing in restaurant savings. We mixed this with that, we tried adding a bit of this without that, but it just did not work. Then a lightbulb went off!!!! What if we can sell gift certificates at a discounted price?? Our name does say “U DINE 4 LESS”. So we brought in the brightest minds from across the country, and worked tirelessly into the wee morning hours to finally bring to the dining public ( thats all of you) – GIFT CERTIFICATES 4 LESS!!!! Yes – we have added a program to Udine4less.com called Gift Certificates 4 Less, that will allow you to purchase a gift certificate to some of your favorite restaurants at a discounted price. How does this work you ask?
1. Go to www.udine4less.com
2. look for the “blue” Gift Certificate 4 Less button
3. View the restaurants that are in the program
4. Click the blue button of the restaurant of your choice
5. Purchase a Gift Certificate 4 Less from the comfort of your home or office with your credit card
6. Print the Gift Certificate instantly
7. Enjoy your meal
There are 4 different options:
1. Purchase $25 and you will get $35 which means $10 FREE
2. Purchase $50 and you will get $70 which means $20 FREE
3. Purchase $75 and you will get $105 which means $30 FREE
4. Purchase $100 and you will get $140 which means $40 FREE
We are VERY excited about adding this new program, and would love to hear your feedback and questions. This program is sure to SAVE diners “mucho dinero”, and allow us all to dine at our favorite restaurants once again without breaking the bank.
We will be adding new restaurants to the program on a daily basis – so check back often to enjoy great savings.

The Gloucester 18 Video
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.
