"Vanguard" producer Cerissa Tanner spent most of the last year in Massachusetts shooting “Recovery High.” She also produced “Gateway to Heroin” and “The OxyContin Express.”
We typically spend three or four weeks in the field to produce an hour-long episode of “Vanguard.” “Recovery High” took 10 times that, easily making it the longest production in the history of the series. Shooting began on the first day of school in early September and concluded eight months later with graduation. During that time, our cameras were granted relatively unfettered access to the hallways of Northshore Recovery High School in Beverly, Mass.
Over the course of the school year, three students shared their sometimes harrowing stories with us. Both the highs, literal and otherwise, and the lows. Jon, Richard and Brandi – all of whom you meet in the show – are, like the other 40 or so students attending Northshore, battling addictions to drugs and alcohol.
Helping those students every step of the way is the fearless and tireless principal of Northshore Recovery High, Michelle Lipinski. Michelle, which is how the students refer to her, put a lot of trust in us when she invited our cameras into the school. As a producer I was very aware of the fact that we were working with subjects who were not only young — a situation that comes with it its own set of ethical issues and responsibilities — but also with adolescents who are more vulnerable than your typical teen.
Northshore Recovery High is a unique place. Students are drug tested at least once a week. But they are not kicked out for testing positive, something that sets the school apart from others like it (there are about 30 such schools across the country). “We come from a place where we don’t shoot our wounded,” Michelle told us. “We’re going to keep you here and we’re going try to get you better.”
And that’s what Vanguard’s cameras captured: the unrelenting and sometimes unorthodox efforts to help these kids. Some do get better. Some don’t. But, as Michelle would say of addiction itself, that’s the reality of a place like “Recovery High”: “It’s a battle… every day.” "Vanguard" producer Cerissa Tanner spent most of the last year in... more

Yes, I am an Angry Man!

Recently I was told by a commentator, "I see your still an Angry Man". Wow, brilliant! I think he finally realized my avatar was chosen for that exact reason! For years it seems this commentator and I had a few epic battles of words, hell he even stayed away from Current because of the silly right left arguments he grew to hate. I can't speak for the guy and his point of view, but I can speak for myself!

Hell Yah, I'm an Angry Man! It's way too late to change into something I am not! My Country has been hijacked, society is falling apart at the seams, the poor are getting poorer, and we are still being taken for ride to oblivion! At 60 almost in April, I still try and fight the good fight against willful ignorance, and the powers that we have no control over.

I do as I have done all my life, and that is to reflect as too why I am who I am! My heart constantly aches for my fellow man, those of you who know what I try to convey, and those not old enough to know better. Hell there is even a group of people who are old enough to know better but for some reason have a heart of stone!

Perhaps as the commentator said my persona and anger will effect my health eventually, and more than likely he is correct! But thats fine I say, cause not to stand for those who can not, is my destiny! I think my salvation is my sense of humor, it keeps me alive! I can still even laugh at myself and others, but my serious side of me fuels my spirit as well.

What fun would it be to be a drone or a robot? Not much is my answer, I've lost interest a long time ago in playing the game most of us find ourselves playing. The gathering of material things is a soulless pursuit, but many are trapped in that lifestyle. I even speak for them at my own risk, I guess I somehow think I'm making a difference at times. I have always tried to cheer folks up in my daily life, at work, at play, and when the times get tough as life often gets!

I've known some incredible times through the years, and my goals at times seem to mirror Don Quixote's futile attempts wielding a sword at an enemy not seen by others. "So be it". I'm very excited to put together, with the assistance of a very dear friend, the Kennymotown Show Season 2. Perhaps even a joke or two will play out, and of course the sword wielding will occur!

Freeeeeedom!Recently I was told by a commentator, "I see your still an Angry Man". Wow,... more
