Promoting the North Shore Creative Economy 

Run Through History 

REGIONAL – Calling all 

creative people. 

The New England Foundation 

for the Arts (NEFA) wants 

creative types from architects 

to playwrights to promote 

themselves and their work on 

its interactive database, called 

CreativeGround. 

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter 

––––––––––––––––– 

NEFA, well known for making 

grants to art organizations, has 

built the CreativeGround website 

to promote the New England 

creative economy. The purpose 

is to have a one-stop location for 

creative individuals and groups 

to promote themselves. It is 

also designed to give buyers of

NEWBURY – This Sunday, 

the Triton Regional High School 

football and soccer teams will 

gather at the First Parish Church 

Cemetery to help what organizer 

Donnie Jarvis refers to as freeing 

the headstones from the bush.

of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,

and for landscaping tools. He

The work will be done from 1

Jarvis plans to grill hotdogs and

sports teams have rallied to help 

Jarvis, a Triton alumnus, clear the 

headstones. About 70 students 

cleared the brush around dozens 

of headstones last fall. 

And they are not alone. It is 

becoming a community ritual. 

The Link House and Boy Scouts 

have also provided volunteer 

workers. 

Town Clerk Leslie Haley said 

last year, “Donnie’s enthusiasm 

is contagious.” 

Jarvis, who places American 

flags on the graves of veterans on 

holidays, started cleaning out the 

neglected cemetery more than 

a year ago, a task that has been 

welcomed by the church, which 

owns the cemetery, but lacks the 

funds to maintain it. 

The church, founded in 1635, 

pays for mowing, but cannot 

afford to hire crews to clear away 

the brush and trees that overtakes 

the headstones. 

Jarvis said he understands. 

“Churches don’t have much 

money.” 

If you would like to help, 

email Donnie at jarvis.don@ 

gmail.com or call him at 978- 

308-9186.

plus artists of all disciplines like 

performing arts, visual arts and 

crafts, game and toy designers, 

writers and even reporters. 

“It makes it so easy to find what 

I am looking for whether it is 

acrobats or jugglers,” said Kerrie 

Bates, director of The Ipswich 

ReCreation & Culture. 

Her department and the 

town’s Office of Planning & 

Development is hosting a NEFA 

seminar at 7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 

17, at the Ipswich Town Hall, 

Meeting Room C, 25 Green 

Street, Ipswich. 

Invited are any creative people 

on the North Shore. 

Bates said it is hard for many 

North Shore creative people to 

get into Boston to the NEFA 

offices. “So we are bringing the 

mountain to the people,” she 

said. 

“CreativeGround is a realtime 

online community that 


help identify who is buried in 

plots and give a brief synopsis 

of the person’s life. Assisting 

Woodworth in managing the run 

is the Joppa Flats Running Club, 

which donates proceeds of its 

runs to charity. 

“The purpose of the run is to 

enjoy the fall colors, educate 

and learn about people’s lives,” 

Woodworth said. 

It is also to raise money to help 

restore the cemetery chapel and 

iron gates. 

The race starts at 10 a.m. 

Registration begins at 8 a.m. 

Pre-registration is $20, and the 

first 125 participants who register 

early will get a t-shirt Woodworth 

designed. The fee on the day of 

the race is $25 and participants 

can buy a t-shirt, if any are left. 

Children eight years old and 

under can run for free.

Oak Hill, on Brown Street off 

of State Street, is not the oldest 

cemetery in the city. It was 

consecrated in 1842 and remains 

an active cemetery with plots still 

for sale. It is listed on the state 

and national registers of historic 

places. 

Not-affiliated with any church, 

Oak Hill is managed as a nonprofit 

organization by a board 

of directors. Jim Smith is the 

director of cemetery operations. 

One of the nation’s first rural 

garden cemeteries, Oak Hill 

was designed to have gardens 

reflects the rich range of creative 

people and places at work in 

the six New England states in 

order to promote and connect 

them with each other and with 

those who know that vibrant 

neighborhoods go hand-in-hand 

with a vibrant creative sector,” its 

website states. 

Led by Dee Schneidman, 

NEFA’s creative economy 

program director, the 

workshop will explore ways 

that creative people can use 

the CreativeGround website 

to grow their network online 

and access powerful resources 

through NEFA’s performing arts 

grant programs, including New 

England States Touring and New 

England Dance Fund. 

In addition, discussed will be 

how to use CreativeGround to 

make a free public profile that 

promotes the creative person to 

a broad audience. It can also help 

find potential collaborators and 

Run Through History 

and streets to make it easily 

accessible. 

In the past, families would 

come to visit their deceased 

relatives, often bringing a picnic 

lunch. 

“It was a place for the living 

as well as the dead,” said 

Woodworth, who wears several 

hats for the cemetery, including 

conducting ancestral research and 

tours. She also books events in the 

chapel, including three weddings 

this year and an Edgar Allen Poethemed 

show by Theater in the 

Open. 

Woodworth, who has raised 

$100,000 in grants for the 

cemetery, can often be found 

here on her knees repairing 

broken headstones. She started 

work at the cemetery seven years 

ago and has restored and repaired 

hundreds of headstones. 

She is also building a database 

of those buried in the cemetery. 

She has recorded 3,000 off the 

handwritten burial cards and 

believes she is a quarter of the 

way through the project. 

The daughter of Todd 

Woodworth, a local historian 

and funeral director, Ghlee 

Woodworth may be best known 

for her historical tours, including 

those of the historic cemeteries. 

In 2006, having just returned 

from years of travel with the 

Peace Corps, she took over the 

Tiptoe Through the Tombstones 

tours that her father had started. 

Since she started giving the tours, 

she has published her first book, 

Tiptoe Through the Tombstones, 

Oak Hill Cemetery. It is an 

resources in the New England 

cultural community. 

The creative economy is a 

small, but important piece 

of the overall New England 

economy. It includes dancers, 

painters, photographers, writers, 

entertainers and designers, 

anyone who is engaged in pro. 

The database comes at a time 

when many believe the creative 

workers are threatened by budget 

cuts, the internet and an aging 

population. 

According to the Bureau of 

Economic Analysis, the number 

of Americans working in this 

category has stalled at around 

1.4 percent since 2004. And 

the compensation per creative 

worker has fallen in recent 

decades relative to its share of the 

workforce.

She also nurtured into existence

follow granite pavers imbedded

ground this year. The goal at Hillside is 

to enable access to an affordable lifestyle 

that fosters community, education, 

and most importantly works to 

eliminate the three largest contributors 

to CO2 emissions: housing, food, and 

transportation. Hillside will combat 

these elements by building homes 

that produce more energy than they 

consume, grow food on site in yearround 

greenhouses, and have shared

FUN FAMILY PHOTO DAY 

A brand new FREE family event 

is coming to Parker River National 

Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, October 

15th from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm (rain 

or shine). Called “Fun Family Photo 

Day,” the daylong event will feature a 

wealth of fun opportunities for both 

kids and adults to capture images 

of nature and wildlife using digital 

cameras (including smart phones!). 

Beginning at the refuge visitor center, 

event participants will be able to 

photograph a variety of live animals up 

close and personal (including native 

fish through aquarium glass - no easy 

task!). Another photo op will involve 

taking a “selfie” with Puddles the blue 

goose – a human-sized version of the 

Refuge System’s official logo. The 

scavenger hunt will include a very cool 

“This Place is for the Birds!” trail, where 

the goal will be to find and photograph 

as many hidden birds as possible. 

Event participants who then return 

to the visitor center to show proof of 

having completed the scavenger hunt 

will be rewarded with a matted print 

of one of their photos, a chance to win 

a number of exciting raffle prizes, and 

a special certificate. Event participants 

should bring a camera with them to 

the event. The camera can be of any 

type; even a camera – equipped smart 

phone will do the trick! Participants 

should plan to begin their event 

adventure at the refuge visitor center, 

which is located at 6 Plum Island 

Turnpike in Newburyport. This new 

FREE event, which is being held in 

honor of National Wildlife Refuge 

Week, will take place rain or shine. 

Answers to questions about the event 

can be obtained by calling the refuge 

headquarters at (978) 465-5753.

Serving Merrimack Valley Area 

By now we know that exercise is 

good for us. It helps to postpone 

aging and keeps us healthier. 

Even knowing that, however, not 

all of us do what we should. Now 

there’s research reported by the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention that points fingers at 

who isn’t active. 

The study collected information 

from more than 300,000 adults 

over the age of 50. For the sake 

of definition, “inactivity” was 

not doing any activity outside of 

Senior Scene 

Too Many of Us are Inactive 

daily-living tasks. 

Here’s what we now know from 

the research: 

* More than one-fourth of 

adults over age 50 don’t do any 

physical activity ... at all. By age 

75, that number jumped up to 

one-third. 

* More women were inactive 

than men. The lower the 

education, the lower the amount 

of activity. The higher the body 

mass index (BMI), the lower the 

rate of activity. 

* Those living in the South were 

the most idle, while the West and 

Northeast were the most active. 

* Having one of seven chronic 

diseases increased the numbers of 

inactive participants. 

* Excuses for inactivity ranged 

different approach and may have 

done a more thorough evidencebased 

evaluation and made 

recommendations based on diet, 

homecare habits and maybe even 

familial history that may have 

prevented the decay in the first 

place. Dentists have gotten good at 

telling patients how they can “fix” 

the problem, but need to consider 

changing their thinking and get 

more training in how to “prevent” 

the problems we see today in 

dentistry. 

There are very few things I 

learned in dental school that I 

still use today. Many of the basic 

principles are used but there is 

continuous new data emerging that 

we as health care providers need to 

expose ourselves to and decide on 

what and how to implement for 

the benefit of our patients. I hope 

to see major advancements in our 

approach to oral health care in my 

career. There is no reason you can’t 

live to 94 and have a great set of 

teeth. 

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private 

dental practice in Rowley and 

Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered 

family dentistry. If there

from having a limited number of 

places to be active to not knowing 

how, given their own physical 

limitations. 

These reasons for not being 

active have a ring of truth. If we 

live in an area with no sidewalks 

and we don’t drive, we won’t be 

doing much walking. In some 

areas, the sidewalks might not 

be safe anyway. However, we 

don’t need to walk or run for our 

activity. We can do gardening, 

watch workout videos at home, 

ride a bike around the highschool 

track, dance around the 

living room, lift hand weights, 

take a low-impact fitness class 

and much more -- as long as we 

do something.

ROWLEY - This month we’re reading Good omens : the nice and accurate 

prophecies of Agnes Nutter, witch by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, 

whose combined sense of humor is something to be enjoyed. Armageddon is 

approaching, at least according to the predictions of Agnes Nutter, and she’s 

been right so far. But there are some agents on both sides who don’t want that 

to happen (because they like life on Earth,) and anyway the Antichrist has been 

misplaced. It’s a fast-paced race to the end – or not. Pick up a copy at the Rowley 

Library today, then join us for a discussion on Thursday, November 3 at 6:30 

p.m. Our book group meets the first Thursday of each month, so check our web 

site for future titles. The Rowley Public Library is located at 141 Main Street and 

is fully accessible. For more information, call the library at 978-948-2850. 

------------------------------------------------------------ 

ROWLEY - Through October, Rowley local Joan Petersen will be displaying her 

work at the Rowley Public Library. You might remember her from her many 

years on the Triton School Board or with the Rowley Housing Authority, or 

know her through her current role as the Rowley Town Moderator. Her cross 

stitch days began back in the 1970s to pass the time after the kids went to bed 

and her husband was at work as a state trooper. She’s now doing counter cross 

stitching with no pattern to make a wide variety of items. Her display includes 

wedding and baby samplers, items for the home, seasonal decorations, and more. 

If you are interested in learning to cross stitch, let us know! We’re trying to put 

together a class. The Rowley Public Library is located at 141 Main Street in 

Rowley and is fully accessible. For more information, call 978-948-2850.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Someone from your past 

could arrive with welcome news concerning your future. 

Meanwhile, avoid taking sides in a workplace confrontation 

until you have more facts to go on. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A decision about a 

relationship 

The 

could have longer-lasting 

Town 

consequences than 

Common 

you might imagine, so be sure of your facts before you act. 

(c) 2016 King Features Syndicate, Inc. 

A trusted friend can help. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A strained relationship 

could be restored with more personal contact between the two of you. Letting others act as your 

go-between only adds to the ongoing estrangement. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) New facts could mean taking a new path toward a goal you’ve 

been hoping to reach. However, be sure all your questions are answered before you undertake to 

shift directions. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good week for all you fine Felines to turn your attention to 

some important considerations, such as your health, your job situation and the status of important 

relationships. 

GRAF RINK Learn to Skate 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid making a quick decision about a matter that needs 

more study. Keep your mind open for possibilities, even if they 

don’t seem plausible -- at least not yet. 

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might welcome 

the emphasis on openness in relationships that mark this period. 

But it’s a good idea to avoid sharing personal secrets with people 

you hardly know. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) There are still some 

questions that need to be asked and answered before you can feel 

confident enough to make a potentially life-changing decision. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some 

lingering effects from a now largely resolved workplace 

confrontation could make things difficult for you. Act on this 

before it becomes serious. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You feel you’re 

finally in control of your own life after months of making 

compromises and concessions you never felt comfortable with. 

Congratulations. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) No sooner do you 

decide to pass on one job offer than another suddenly turns up. 

This one might not have everything you’re looking for, but it’s 

worth checking out. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Congratulations. With 

Jupiter’s strong influence dominating this week, don’t be 

surprised to get some good news about a troubling financial 

matter. 

BORN THIS WEEK: You are usually kind and loving. But 

you can be highly critical of those who don’t measure up to your 

high standards.
