Building Traditions: Family Fun Day Weathers the Snow at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum
This article appeared in The Gloucester Times.
Blurb: The art of shipbuilding has been a tradition in Essex since shortly after the pilgrims settled in. So it wasn’t exactly a surprise when over 30 Cape Ann residents braved the snow for the Essex Shipbuilding Museum and Wellspring House’s Family Fun Day on Tuesday, February 16.
“Our forefathers built ships and went fishing in the snow,” said Barbara Johnson Low, head of the museum’s education and group tours departments. “We can, too.”

Melrose Church Spotlights Modern Day Slavery with Freedom Sunday (co-written with Alysa Obert)
February 17, 2010
This story appeared in the Melrose edition of the Boston Globe.
Blurb: "Sotelo and fellow members of Hope Alliance Church will join hundreds of other congregations throughout the country this Sunday, February 21, as they shine a spotlight on modern day slavery in the first ever Freedom Sunday. Organized by the international movement known as Not For Sale, a global campaign that fights to free modern slaves in our own backyards and around the world, Freedom Sunday will expose the atrocities of modern day slavery and invite members to participate in the emancipation process. And in the next few months, many Jewish and Muslim communities will follow suit with their own versions of Freedom Sunday."

Gordon College News Service Update
This semester, I have an internship with the Gordon College News Service, a group of writers who produce news stories "from the next generation" for local media partners in the Boston/North Shore area. Since the Amandangle is something of a portfolio, I'll be sharing links to my News Service articles, which you can view in full at the GCNS blog. I'm playing catch-up today (so sorry for neglecting you, Amandangle).
Local Band Sharing the Spotlight with Haiti
January 19, 2010.
This story appeared in the Somerville section of the Boston Globe Regional.
Until Tuesday, the upcoming CD release party for local band Adam Ezra Group (AEG) was scheduled to be just that: a release party. But when disaster struck in Haiti, the Boston-based musicians changed their plans.
North Shore Christian Schools Weather the Economic Storm
January 26, 2010
If a handful of Massachusetts’s Christian schools have weathered the economic crisis, it’s not because the storm didn’t hit. “We’ve had to batten down the hatches,” said Tom Stoner, headmaster of Covenant Christian Academy in Peabody.
Dwight & Nicole Signing On with New Release
February 2, 2010
This story appeared in the Somerville section of the Boston Globe Regional.
Local drivers may complain about the lack of street signs, but for Nicole Nelson, 31, and Dwight Ritcher, 34,—aka, Dwight & Nicole—Somerville has been full of signs. Now they’ve arrived at their long-awaited debut album, appropriately dubbed “!Signs,” whose release the blues duo will celebrate Friday, February 5th at the Somerville Theatre in Davis Square as a thank you concert for their fans there.
-----------------------------
My co-interns have some really fun stories up, as well, so for my readers who are bored at work, I recommend taking a peek. I mean, no! I would never suggest reading blogs when one ought to be working! Never. But you really should. When you get home, that is.
One last thing: I'd like to thank the talented and benevolent Stephanie Faris (of Steph in the City) for the lovely "You're Going Places" award. Here's hoping she's right!
The rules say I have to pass this on to ten other bloggers, but I don't follow very many blogs, so I'm just passing it on to one - another fledgling writer like me who's off to a pretty good start. Godspeed, Katie McCoach.
