GLOUCESTER, Mass. and BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Gloucester Police Chief Leonard Campanello and Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken are pleased to report Addiction Campuses, a Tennessee-based specialized addiction treatment center, has partnered with the Gloucester Police Department’s ANGEL Initiative and will be offering at least one full scholarship to one of their campuses.
“The success we have seen from this program has been outstanding and the support from treatment centers is invaluable,” Chief Campanello said. “We are looking forward to bringing Addiction Campuses on board and are so grateful for their dedication to our cause.”
The Gloucester Initiative places those struggling with addiction into treatment centers, rather than jail cells. Under this initiative, those suffering from the disease of addiction can come into the Gloucester Police Department and turn over their remaining drug supply and paraphernalia without the threat of arrest. The policy went into effect earlier this month in an effort to reduce the number of overdoses in Massachusetts. Click here to view the official police policy document.
“We value the assistance and dedication from these treatment facilities toward the ANGEL mission,” Mayor Romeo Theken said. “Support from Addiction Campuses puts us one step closer to ending the epidemic that is opioid addiction.”
Given the immediate positive response from local, state and national organizations, Chief Campanello and businessman John Rosenthal launched The Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative (P.A.A.R.I.) — a new nonprofit organization created in response to Gloucester’s revolutionary drug addiction program.
“All of us at Addiction Campuses are beyond excited to be able to assist with the ANGEL initiative,” said Addiction Campuses CEO Brent Clements. “This unique approach to ending opioid addiction is quite inspiring and we are looking forward to much success.”

Al Contarino and George Peters are the creators and owners Of KettlePizza, an insert system that turns charcoal kettle grills into outdoor pizza ovens for very little money. As it turns out Al’s sister Donna is a regular GMG reader and after seeing my obsession with grilling and that I bought a KettlePizza insert, she suggested that Al and I get together and have at it making some backyard pies.
Well I feel pretty comfortable cooking up meat but when it comes to dough and pizza making obviously I’m gonna enlist Sista Felicia who already has her own dough recipe and multiple pizza recipes in her cookbook- Gifts of Gold (purchase her cookbook here)
Felicia maintained that one of the key reasons for the over the top results besides having awesome equipment in the Stok Drum Charcoal Grill and KettlePizza was the very best ingredients from Sclafani’s Italian Bakery and The Cave
The fun we had making pizzas in the back yard combined with the crazy incredible results makes The KettlePizza system an absolute no brainer must have grill component.

So Lobstermen and Smoking Fanatic Pete Libro, Skipper of The F/V Cabaret IV had an extra smoker that he gave me to use down the dock.
I sent Toby out to buy a brisket and he came back with one from Market Basket for $6.99 lb which seems like a lot but it is grilling season so that’s probably the reason for the high price.
Laid out a couple sheets of foil and liberally applied Toby’s Rub. Covered it up and put it in the fridge til tomorrow morning. Plan is to get the smoker going at 6AM.
Look for the live updates tomorrow.
