“It caught their attention,”<br />
Gove said.<br />
The staff for the show followed<br />
up with surveys and phone<br />
calls to Amesbury, gaining<br />
information and answering the<br />
question: Why should Amesbury<br />
be the winner this year?<br />
Those who nominated<br />
Amesbury suggested the show<br />
could help Amesbury become<br />
a more walkable city. Located<br />
near major interstate highways,<br />
Amesbury is highly accessible to<br />
a large population, but is not a<br />
tourist destination, city leaders<br />
told the show.<br />
They would also like help in<br />
promoting the city as both a retail<br />
and manufacturing community.<br />
Mayor Ken Gray is backing<br />
the campaign. In an email,<br />
the mayor wrote: “Downtown<br />
Amesbury is the heart of our city<br />
and in many ways reflective of<br />
our identity as a community. The<br />
growth of our downtown, fueled<br />
by committed small business<br />
owners and the overwhelming<br />
support and patronage of the<br />
community, remains critical to<br />
Amesbury’s overall success.”<br />
Continued from page 1<br />
is among their top priorities.<br />
Massachusetts Attorney<br />
General Maura Healy was joined<br />
by local district attorneys and<br />
police chiefs in opposition. “In<br />
the aftermath of so many mass<br />
shootings, it would be tragic<br />
for this (legislation) to become<br />
the next deadly loophole in<br />
our nation’s gun laws. This<br />
legislation is dangerous for the<br />
state of Massachusetts, our law<br />
enforcement officers and our<br />
residents. We are disappointed<br />
in the House for passing this<br />
reckless legislation, and we urge<br />
the (U.S.) Senate to respect state<br />
laws, to protect the safety of<br />
communities and to reject this<br />
bill.”<br />
Healy is one of 17 attorney<br />
‘We’re Going to Win’<br />
He noted that the Retailers<br />
Association of Massachusetts<br />
selected a downtown Amesbury<br />
business as the Rookie of the<br />
Year award winner in 2<strong>01</strong>7. That<br />
selection, he wrote, “further<br />
solidified downtown Amesbury<br />
as a model downtown in the<br />
region.”<br />
Being the winner of the<br />
Small Business Revolution<br />
– Main Street, he wrote would<br />
help Amesbury by receiving<br />
“invaluable tools and resources<br />
allowing them to aggressively<br />
compete in an increasingly<br />
competitive retail market,<br />
growing our downtown and<br />
strengthening our community.”<br />
In its first two seasons, the<br />
show focused on Wabash,<br />
IN, and Bristol Borough, PA,<br />
two towns more remote than<br />
Amesbury.<br />
Gove is planning a red<br />
carpet reception for the crew<br />
of six or seven production<br />
staff, plus Amanda Brickman,<br />
Deluxe’s Chief Brand and<br />
Communications Officer, who<br />
hosts the show along with<br />
Herjavec. The crew will spend a<br />

The police chief association<br />
meets once a month in rotating<br />
communities, which Cudmore<br />
said “gets us out, engaged.”<br />
He said being a part of the<br />
association is also good for<br />
networking within the county<br />
law enforcement leadership.<br />
“When would I get to sit down<br />
with the chiefs in Swampscott<br />
and Marblehead? We are very<br />
close,” he said.<br />

Cudmore said.<br />
Cudmore said he has enjoyed<br />
his 33 years in Georgetown. “It<br />
has been a good run,” he said.<br />
“Georgetown is a great<br />
community,” he said. “The<br />
community really supports its<br />
police department. They treat us<br />
well.”<br />
The association supports<br />
several local charities, including<br />
the Jimmy Fund and Special<br />
Olympics of Massachusetts.<br />
