REGIONAL – As the days get warmer, it is time to escape to the garden, book in hand to enjoy reading amid nature’s<br />
beauty at the same time.<br />
And what better place to have a garden to read in than at the local public library.<br />
That thought was on the mind last September of Langley Adams Library board member Lee Thomas when he approached<br />
a group of Boy Scouts while they were cooking hot dogs and hamburgers for Groveland Day. He asked if any of the Scouts<br />
needed a project to help them earn their Eagle Scout rank.<br />
Jeremy Frederick, a junior at Pentucket Regional High School and a Life Scout, thought it was a great idea. Using knowledge<br />
of basic computer-assisted design he learned in a class, he drew a sketch for a small reading garden in the back of the Groveland<br />
library.<br />
Libraries across the country have augmented limited reading spaces by creating landscaped gardens often adjacent to their<br />
buildings. These areas include shaded sitting areas for reading and other library related activities.<br />
There are reading gardens at the libraries in Georgetown and Hamilton, both built by scouts on their way to becoming<br />
Eagle Scouts, Frederick said.<br />
At the Georgetown Peabody Library, the Children’s Patio Garden was spearheaded in 2011 by Jacob Barosin for his Eagle<br />
Scout Project. A member of Troop 51, Barosin worked closely with the Georgetown Garden Club and the Continued on page 3<br />

–––––––––––––––––<br />
AMESBURY – When is a metal roof more than a metal roof? When it can generate hot water for<br />
the water heater or hot air to keep a home warm all winter.<br />
A new company here, INroof Solar, has developed and is installing on high-end residential homes a<br />
metal roof that is not just durable and attractive, but can cut energy costs for the home or commercial<br />
building.<br />
Developed by Fred Harkness, a New England homebuilder, the black metal panels have a water<br />
glycol solution, similar to antifreeze for your car, that flows through a tube inside the panel. As the<br />
sun hits the black panel on a south-facing roof, it heats the solution, which is deposited in a large<br />
tank, ready to be used to heat water or air.<br />
“We consider this a game changer when it comes to solar energy,” INroof’s web site states.<br />
The solar collectors are built directly into the roof, making the system virtually impervious to the<br />
elements. That means the collectors last longer and perform better than traditional solar panels.<br />
INroof collectors can be built on residential and commercial construction and are compatible with<br />
geothermal heating systems, the company says.<br />
“INroof panels are the finest integrated solar thermal panels on the market today and are the<br />
perfect choice if you want the benefits of solar energy without the look of solar<br />

Rowley Municipal Light Plant Recognized for Reliable Service To The Community<br />
ROWLEY - The Town of Rowley<br />
Municipal Light Plant has received<br />
national recognition for achieving<br />
exceptional electric reliability in<br />
2016. The recognition comes<br />
from the American Public Power<br />
Association (www.PublicPower.<br />
org), a trade group that represents<br />
more than 2,000 not-for-profit,<br />
community-owned electric utilities.<br />
The Association helps<br />
members track outage and<br />
restoration data through its<br />
subscription-based eReliability<br />
Tracker service and then<br />
compares the data to national<br />
statistics tracked by the<br />
U.S. Energy Information<br />
Administration for all types of<br />
electric utilities.<br />
“This recognition helps<br />
demonstrate public power’s<br />
commitment to reliable electric<br />
service,” said the Association’s<br />
Senior Vice President of<br />
Engineering Services, Michael<br />
Hyland.<br />
Public power has a strong<br />
track record of reliability,<br />
said Hyland. Nationwide, the<br />
average public power customer<br />
has their lights out for less than<br />
half the time, compared to other<br />
types of utilities.<br />
“We are proud to receive this<br />
recognition. It is a testament to<br />
the hard work of all our staff to<br />
ensure that the lights stay on for<br />
all our customers,” said Daniel<br />
Folding, General Manager at<br />
Rowley Municipal Light Plant.<br />

panels installed on top of your<br />
roof,” the web site says.<br />
In winter, snow slides off the<br />
panels, but during heavy snows<br />
and cold days, the heated antifreeze<br />
can be used to melt the snow and<br />
ice off the roof.<br />
Metal roofs have been around<br />
for a long time, used primarily<br />
because of their long durability.<br />
The lifespan of a metal roof can<br />
be 50-plus years. They are fire<br />
resistant, and their interlocking<br />
panels can survive a powerful wind<br />
storm. Metal panels are also lighter<br />
than some other roofing materials,<br />
which works well in preserving the<br />
structural integrity of a home.<br />
The metal roofs already act as a<br />
radiant barrier, deflecting the suns<br />
rays and keeping attics and upper<br />
floors cooler.<br />
What Harkness and other<br />
companies are exploring how<br />
metal roofs can also be a platform<br />
to produce solar energy to generate<br />
electricity.<br />
Robert O’Brien, a solar energy<br />
expert and CEO of CI Works,<br />
said, “In a solar world of risky<br />
A Metal Roof that Heats Water<br />
high-tech gadgets or gizmos and<br />
significant corresponding financial<br />
failures, Fred has found a way to<br />
innovate his existing businesses –<br />
HarknessBuilt Construction – and<br />
leverage that expertise in metal<br />
roofs to harvest the warmth of<br />
the sun to heat the same building<br />
with a very low risk profile from a<br />
renewable energy source.”<br />
The Massachusetts Clean Energy<br />
Center agrees. It is investing<br />
$41,000 in INroof to pay for the<br />
installation of its panels on the<br />
roof of the old ARC Technologies<br />
building where CI Works is<br />
nurturing the development of<br />
dozens of small manufacturing<br />
companies like INroof.<br />
With panels on the roof<br />
generating heat for the old<br />
mill building, Caleb Reninger,<br />
production manager for INroof<br />
Solar, said the company can<br />
monitor how the system performs<br />
in lowering energy costs. Reninger,<br />
a solar expert who formerly worked<br />
for the Florida Solar Power Center,<br />
left his job in Florida to who left a<br />
job in Florida to join Harkness in<br />
Amesbury.<br />
Building Envelope, another<br />
tenant of the expanding CI<br />
Works operations, will install its<br />
innovative building insulation<br />
along with the new metal panels,<br />
O’Brien said.<br />
Like most renewable energy<br />
systems, INroof’s panels run<br />
about double the cost of regular<br />
metal panels. Reninger said metal<br />
roofs cost about $7 a square foot,<br />
as compared to INroof’s enhanced<br />
panels, which cost about $15 a<br />
square foot. That does not include<br />
hiring a plumber to attach the<br />
panels to the water heater or hook<br />
the system to a heat pump.<br />
He noted that residential tax<br />
credits will lower the costs and<br />
make them comparable to a nonenhanced<br />
metal panel.<br />
“People who are buying these<br />
panels are doing it because they<br />
want to be environmentally<br />
friendly,” he said.<br />
For the moment, INroof only<br />
offers the panels in black. But the<br />
company is working on gaining<br />
approval for panels made in<br />
other dark colors – gray, blue and<br />
green.<br />
An Oasis of Tranquility and Inspiration<br />
Continued from page 1<br />
Friends of the Georgetown Peabody<br />
Library.<br />
In Groveland, the Langley<br />
Adams reading garden will be 252<br />
square feet in size under a trio of<br />
tall evergreens, outside the back<br />
emergency exit. According to<br />
Frederick’s design, the space will<br />
have three raised gardens, seats and<br />
a bird bath. The space will have a<br />
three-foot tall fence around it.<br />
A picnic table, built by the<br />
students at Whittier Technical<br />
High School, will be just outside<br />
the fence.<br />
“My goal is to create a space<br />
where people can go to sink into<br />
a good novel, or youth groups<br />
could go to plant vegetables,” he<br />
wrote on his GoFundMe page,<br />
where he is raising money for the<br />
project. “My hope is that members<br />
of my community will find this<br />
area relaxing and inviting, and just<br />
maybe their new favorite place to<br />
read a book.”<br />
Jan Voogd, the head librarian,<br />
wrote in an email that the proposed<br />
reading garden, which will have<br />
access to the internet, will provide<br />
“an oasis of tranquility and<br />
inspiration.”<br />
“The library is quite short on<br />
space in general, but particularly on<br />
space that is quiet and separate from<br />
patron traffic patterns. The reading<br />
garden would offer such tranquil<br />
space, with a view of the river and<br />
the sunset,” she wrote.<br />
And being outside, on days when<br />
the weather is beautiful, people<br />
can come to the library and still<br />
be outside, she wrote. “Jeremy’s<br />
plan makes use of a charming treeshaded<br />
area just outside a side door<br />
that is now rarely used. He’s been<br />
handling every detail, making this<br />
project a boon from any angle.”<br />
It has also been a learning<br />
experience for the <strong>17</strong>-year-old. In<br />
addition to designing the garden, he<br />
has jumped through several hoops<br />
to gain the town’s approval.<br />
First, he won the approval of the<br />
library board. The trustees “were<br />
excited about it,” he said.<br />
Then he went before the Board<br />
of Selectmen on March 6 and got<br />
its approval on condition that he<br />
get the okay from the highway<br />
commissioner and building<br />
inspector.<br />
The building inspector insisted<br />
on adding a gate to the fence<br />
because the library back door is also<br />
an emergency exit. The highway<br />
commissioner warned him not to<br />
damageany irrigation system heads.<br />
Frederick estimates that the cost of<br />
the reading garden will run $1,800<br />

WHAT IF WE BUILT AMESBURY<br />
AROUND PLACES?<br />
The Amesbury Carriage Museum<br />
is presenting a free lecture Thursday,<br />
April 13 at 7:00 pm in Amesbury<br />
City Hall featuring Philip Winn,<br />
from the internationally known<br />
Project for Public Spaces. Winn<br />
will be speaking on “What If We<br />
Built Amesbury Around Places?<br />
- Discovering and Activating Our<br />
Shared Spaces.” This is the second<br />
annual Bailey Family lecture and a<br />
fitting follow-up to last year’s program<br />
“Walkable Amesbury” offered by Jeff<br />
Speck. Working in partnership with<br />
Amesbury’s Chamber of Commerce,<br />
the Amesbury Quality of Life<br />
Committee and others this event<br />
is free and open to the public. The<br />
program will introduce the concept of<br />
“Placemaking” as a valuable tool for<br />
city development and how “places”<br />
are an essential aspect of community<br />
life. These spaces can be intentionally<br />
created and when developed well,<br />
can effectively encourage economic<br />
growth and new uses by community<br />
members of all types. This program<br />
provides an opportunity to influence<br />
the future use of the Heritage Center<br />
at 29 Water Street. And it will be<br />
of particular value as we identify<br />
placemaking opportunities and new<br />
approaches to the greater Amesbury<br />
area. Mr. Winn’s talk promises to be<br />
engaging, educational, and inspiring<br />
as the Amesbury Carriage Museum<br />
joins hands with other community<br />
organizations in shaping Amesbury’s<br />
future. All are welcome at Amesbury’s<br />
City Hall Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. on<br />
Thursday April 13 for an interesting<br />
and informative conversation!<br />

Health & Wellness<br />
According to a Centers for<br />
Disease Control and Prevention<br />
study, one in every 250 emergency<br />
room visits was because of<br />
adverse drug reactions. Seniors<br />
were well-represented, coming<br />
in at 30 percent of the total. The<br />
numbers will no doubt continue<br />
to rise as we age and end up in<br />
the offices of more specialists.<br />
Most of us take at least one<br />
prescription drug, and some take<br />
more than 10.<br />
Here are a few steps you can<br />
take to keep safe from adverse<br />
Brighter Smiles...<br />
The fact of the matter is<br />
– every person is different and<br />
does different things with their<br />
teeth. How do you compare<br />
a 90 year-old with all of their<br />
teeth with minimal wear to a 30<br />
year-old with 25% of their tooth<br />
structure missing (unknowingly<br />
in many cases)? Both individuals<br />
eat, sleep and breathe but present<br />
very differently. Theories abound;<br />
there is no question that some<br />
people put greater forces on their<br />
teeth when they sneeze, swallow,<br />
chew and sleep than others.<br />
Greatly underdiagnosed, these<br />
forces help cause things like<br />
teeth wearing, teeth breaking,<br />
TMJ/muscle soreness, tooth loss,<br />
tooth sensitivity, gum recession,<br />
and poor sleep patterns. Many<br />
dentists (including myself) see<br />
the signs but often choose to avoid<br />
a challenging conversation with<br />
a patient about a disease process<br />
that is not fully understood.<br />
Unfortunately, ignoring these<br />
signs is not in the best interest of<br />
the patient. It is the obligation of<br />
the dentist to raise the patient’s<br />
awareness of these forces and<br />
to discuss strategies to combat<br />
them. It is only through this<br />
awareness that patients will be<br />
able to decide if they want to do<br />
anything about it or not.<br />
Keep in mind that many of<br />
the bodies functions, including<br />
the forces put on teeth, occur<br />
without any cognitive thought.<br />
Is the Force with You?<br />
Senior Scene<br />
Prescription Drugs Don’t Always Mix<br />
Patients will often say, “I know<br />
I grind my teeth in my sleep<br />
when I’m stressed”. Things like<br />
stress may have some effect on<br />
this, but is it important to look<br />
beyond specific instances and<br />
evaluate the bigger picture of<br />
what is really going on.<br />
For example, breathing is<br />
perhaps the most essential of<br />
all life functions. If you are not<br />
getting the proper oxygenation<br />
when you sleep, there are some<br />
crazy things your body does<br />
as a defense mechanism to get<br />
air. Sleep-related breathing<br />
disorders are underdiagnosed<br />
and undertreated and may just<br />
be one of the leading causes of<br />
tooth wear and TMJ problems.<br />

at Tufts this week in<br />

drug reactions:<br />
* When you visit a doctor,<br />
bring along all your medications.<br />
Nowadays, many local doctors<br />
are hooked up via computer<br />
and can check your records<br />
with other medical offices, but<br />
not all. Unless you know you<br />
can make a detailed, accurate<br />
list, load up a shoebox with all<br />
your prescription drugs and take<br />
them with you. Ask whether<br />
you’re still to take all of the<br />
drugs, and if you need blood<br />
tests for monitoring.<br />
* Don’t forget your over-thecounter<br />
drugs, even if you rarely<br />
take them. One of them might<br />
be contraindicated for mixing<br />
with your regular prescriptions.<br />
At least one kind of over-thecounter<br />
drug isn’t thought to be<br />
safe for people with high blood<br />
pressure.<br />
* Go to the same pharmacy<br />
every time. Your drug records<br />
will be stored in one place, and<br />
a pharmacist will notice if you’re<br />
taking certain drugs that will be<br />
combined with a new one. He or<br />
she will be able to tell you how<br />
to take the drug, and can verify<br />
what’s in the container. (Some<br />
labels describe the pills inside by<br />
color and shape.) Ask whether a<br />
new one can be taken at the same<br />
time as the others.<br />
* Keep a chart at home,<br />
especially if you’re starting a<br />
new drug that will go along with<br />
other ones.<br />
