Pet of the Week- Lola

Posted on by Alicia Pensarosa

8.28.2017 Pet of the Week--Lola

Are you looking for a partner in adventure?  Someone  wiggly, fast to make you laugh and full of enthusiasm?  Lola at your service! I am a sweet and affectionate 1 year old. I love learning new things and I am a huge fan of getting love and attention from my human friends. I have been to some obedience classes and I know sit, lay down, and paw and I am working on more ! Sometimes when I get excited I don’t realize how big and strong I am so I am looking for a family that can handle a larger dog .

I like toys or all kinds, playing with other pooches and spending time outdoors. I have been known to chase squirrels or outdoor cats but hey that could be the hound in me. I was originally rescued in Puerto Rico and I have lived in a home with children and did well, I am also crate trained. I can be nervous around new men but if they are patient we can become good friends. I am eager to please and looking for a family. I am a very sweet girl ready and waiting for a second chance.

To see all of the dogs and cats at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter please go to our website:capeannanimalaid.org

Doug Brendel’s new book

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

STOP LAUGHING

North Shore humorist releases a deadly serious novel

Long-time friend of GMG Doug Brendel is known as “The Outsidah” for his funny commentary at Outsidah.com about life in small-town New England.

But now he’s released something completely different: a fast-paced 208-page “domestic drama” called Unintended.

The novel is being sold locally in paperback at Betsy Frost Design, 4 Market St., Ipswich, and online (paperback and e-book formats) at DougBrendel.com.

The story, set around 1950 in Ohio, involves the intertwining lives of a slick white salesman, the conservative woman who falls for him, and a black teenage girl trying to protect her brain-damaged sister. There’s also a vengeful spurned lover, a hateful whisky-swilling father, a medical administrator desperate to keep her job — and the mysterious guy blithely assaulting a beautiful mental patient.

“Oh — and don’t forget — a shockingly violent twist at the end,” Doug adds. “If you have a secret love of revenge, this is the book for you!”

Questions or comments about the Unintended novel can be directed to the author personally via DougBrendel.com.

Find Your Inner Teacher

By Linda E. Saris and Glenn Burns

Perhaps you have raised children and, like most parents, helped them with homework and surrounded them with enriching extracurricular opportunities and lots of wanted (and unwanted) advice. Or perhaps you are working, studying or retired and have an interest in passing down you expertise to the next generation.

As students yourselves you knew which teachers were great – the ones that sent home interesting projects – the ones that stimulated you (or your child) to think and explore new ideas.

So now is your chance to bring out your inner teacher and translate your skills and experience as a professional (or parent) or a hobbyist with a particular expertise and get a group of middle schools excited to learn more.

LEAP for Education and the Salem Public Schools are partnering to provide all the 6th and 7th

PHOTOS FROM GLOUCESTER’S SEA TO SUPPER CELEBRATION HONORING ANGELA SANFILIPPO

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

The Sea to Supper celebration was a beautiful event for a beautiful lady who has advocated for Gloucester and New England fishermen and their families her entire adult life, beginning when she became the young bride of a fisherman. An example of just one of many of Angela’s accomplishments is that if you are a Gloucester resident and have ever needed health insurance assistance, you can thank Angela for the groundbreaking work she achieved in securing health insurance for the families of fishermen and the broader Gloucester community. 

Manny’s photos are terrific and here a few more.
