Triton’s Budget Fight Is On 

Amesbury Innovation Center Expands to Gloucester

REGIONAL – You know 

you’re in Gloucester when you 

see giant windmills on top of a 

hill above the highway. They are 

part of the Blackburn Industrial 

Park, which once was home to 

Gloucester Engineering, the city’s 

largest non-marine employer. 

Starting in May, the site will 

become the second location for an 

innovative concept that converts 

under-utilized commercial 

properties into multi-tenant

CI Works, which proved its 

business model in Amesbury, is 

partnering with Equity Industrial 

Investors, the owner of the 

Gloucester industrial park, to 

create a home for up to 50 small 

manufacturing companies that 

may create 250 jobs. 

“We knew we had a good 

concept,” said CI Works Executive 

Vice President and CFO Mark 

Friery. “In Amesbury in a larger 

facility we have proven it works. 

Triton Regional High School 

TRITON – In his 13 years 

overseeing the budget for the 

Triton Regional School District, 

Superintendent Brian Forget said 

he has never seen a budget like 

this. 

During his first dozen years 

at Triton, Forget was the 

deputy superintendent with 

responsibility over the district’s 

finances. In those years, he said 

“we had increases. We needed to 

make adjustments.” But those

budgets don’t compare to the

the many programs offered last 

summer.” New this year will be 

many STEAM programs such 

as STEM Beginnings “on the 

Move”, Amazing 4 in 1 robot, 

Arcade Electronics Galore, Right 

brain Curriculum with “Shark 

Tank- Business Sharks,” and 

Expert Architects, Crazy 3d 

Creatures, Top Secret Science 

and many more. Other new 

programs will be Kid’s Yoga and 

stand-up paddleboard, Disc Golf 

The company’s plan is to 

circumnavigate Boston, where 

rents are high, with centers like in 

Amesbury and now in Gloucester 

that lease affordable and flexible 

space to small businesses and 

manufacturers that can thrive in 

shared spaces. 

“CI Works offers a unique 

approach different from 

traditional real estate options,” 

the company’s business plan 

states. 

Instead of leasing to a tenant as 

much space for as much money 

as possible, CI Works allows each 

of its tenant companies to utilize 

only the space they need. This 

limits their costs while they are 

growing. 

The tenant companies at CI 

Works are also encouraged to work 

with one other collaborately. They 

share services and equipment, 

and under the watchful eye of CI 

Works President Bob O’Brien and 

Friery, they buy from each other 

and they exchange expertise, 

contacts and experience with the 

other companies. 

There are many buildings 

and Ultimate Frisbee, Teen Sports 

Conditioning, Street Hockey, 

Boost Outdoor Challenge and 

Delicious Desserts. Registration 

is now open to residents and non 

residents (for a small charge). 

New for this year, the Tadpole 

program will start at age 3 to 5 

year olds and will offer 4, one week 

sessions, Monday through Friday, 

from 9am to 1:00. It is located 

under the red shade structure at 

the Town Park and will include 

arts and crafts, playground games, 

fun cooperative games, sports, 

water play in the splash pad, Friday 

entertainment with animal shows, 

magicians, walking field trips and 

more. The Tadpole Park Program 

is designed to give preschoolers 

a chance to develop social skills, 

work on coordination and have 

fun all at the same time. 

The Youth Park Program, 

located at the Town Park on Friend 

St., serves 6-11 year olds. This

The Triton School Committee 

last month approved a budget of 

$41.3 million to level fund the

Patriots of the Past at the Museum of Old Newbury 

The Town Common Courtesy Photo 

NEWBURYPORT - Although many flock to 

Lexington and Concord for historical reenactments 

on Patriot’s Day, this year, north shore residents won’t 

have to travel so far. On Monday, April 16 from 

1:00-3:00pm, the Museum of Old Newbury will 

host a Patriot’s Day celebration featuring hands-on 

activities and demonstrations with historical reenactors 

representing nearly 100 years of American history. 

Patriots of the Past offers opportunities to meet a 

minute man, practice marching to a Civil War drum, 

and learn about Newburyport’s involvement in the 

American Revolution and Civil War. 

Local reenactors will help to bring the stories past 

patriots to life for the event. Featured reenactors include Mike Welch of West Newbury and Todd 

McGrath of Amesbury. Welch has been reenacting for over ten years and will portray a colonial 

militiaman. With an authentic costume and weaponry representing the Revolutionary era, Welch offers 

a glimpse of a soldier’s life during the struggle for American independence. Highlighting the American 

Civil War, McGrath will portray a drummer from the 17th Massachusetts, Company D. Visitors can 

learn about the responsibilities of Civil War drummers, and the many dangers that came with this 

important position. Young visitors will enjoy learning to march to the beat of the drum and exploring 

a Civil War tent and campsite. 

Patriots of the Past is a free event, sponsored in part by a grant from the Institution for Savings. 

The event will take place outdoors at the Museum of Old Newbury, located at 98 High Street in 

Newburyport. 

The Museum of Old Newbury preserves and interprets the history of “Old Newbury” which includes 

Newbury, Newburyport, and West Newbury from pre-settlement to the present. 

The Museum carries out its mission through the preservation and administration of the Cushing House, the Perkins Engraving Plant, and 

other historic structures on its High Street campus and furthers its purpose through lectures, exhibitions, educational programs, publications, 

and research. 

enrollment will be limited to 50. 

The Summer Environmental 

Program located at Camp Kent 

Nature Center serves approx. 

300 youth in grades 1-7 each 

year and offers six, one week 

sessions, running 9-3, Monday 

through Thursday. Participants 

will be in small groups with their 

peers and will participate in a 

variety of environmental science, 

outdoor skills, and adventure 

learning activities. Each week for 

grades 3-7 we will offer a hike up 

Powwow Hill with a free cookout, 

water view and Eagle watching, a 

paddle day to the beach in kayaks, 

dories and canoes; and weekly 

visits from wildlife specialists. In 

addition, programming includes 

a low elements challenge course, 

archery, kayaking, fire making for 

some ages, Dutch oven cooking 

and GPS navigation. Grades 1 

and 2 will be offered ponding 

and insect collection, wildlife 

presentations, animal tracking, 

dory rides, and scavenger hunts. 

This year will be a Wilderness 

Week including orienteering, 

shelter building, survival skills 

map reading, fire building and 

outdoor safety. Each camper 

will receive a Camp Kent t-shirt 

included in the program cost. 

Please note that we are seeking 

outdoor educators and naturalists

grades 5-9 and will meet 4 days 

a week for 2 weeks from 10- 3. 

The “STAR” Program will hold a 

performance on Thursday, August

Amesbury Innovation Center Expands to Gloucester 


in Massachusetts that were 

constructed at great expense and 

with extensive infrastructure 

that remain unoccupied or 

underutilized, the company said. 

These buildings could benefit 

small manufacturing businesses 

if leased at reasonable rates for 

appropriate sized footprints. 

O’Brien and Friery began 

testing the concept as the Clean 

Tech Center in Newburyport’s 

industrial park. When they needed 

a larger building, Amesbury 

Mayor Ken Gray invited them to 

move to several, well-maintained 

old mill buildings the defense 

contractor ARC Technologies 

owns. 

Today, CI Works, operating 

in 140,000 square feet, is 

landlord and chief nurturer of 

64 companies that lease space 

in the old ARC buildings. Those 

companies employ 208 workers. 

“This is a tremendous 

opportunity for the city (of 

Gloucester) to be able to get 

some great jobs in there,” said 

Tom Gillett, executive director of 

the city’s Economic Development 

and Industrial Corp. “It allows 

smaller companies the chance to 

grow and expand. This is one you 

have to feel good about.” 

The site at the base of the giant 

windmills was home for 50 years 

to Gloucester Engineering, where 

about 400 employees worked out 


care premiums. 

The state’s funding for 

regional school districts, Forget 

said, does not recognize the true 

costs of special education and 

health care. 

Being a regional school 

district, Triton must secure the 

approval of at least two of its 

three towns – Newbury, Rowley 

and Salisbury. Each town is 

being asked to say yes to raising 

homeowners’ property taxes. 

Each town has voted to bring 

the issue to an election and at its 

Town Meetings this spring. 

Two towns are also exploring 

the option of approving a 

smaller amount than their 

apportionment is. But that is 

the equivalent of voting no and 

would send the issue back to 

the school committee to cut the 

budget. 

Forget said, the backup plan, 

or Plan B, would be decided 

by the school committee at its 

May meeting. He expects it 

would require cutting 20 staff 

members and eliminating some 

programs. 

of a163,000-square-foot building. 

In 2016, the new owner of the 

company, Davis-Standard plastics 

machinery, moved the last 30 

production jobs to Connecticut. 

Equity Industrial Partners 

acquired the largely empty site as 

part of a real estate portfolio and 

was having trouble finding one 

large tenant to lease the building. 

That’s when U.S. Rep. Seth 

Moulton, D-Salem, introduced 

Equity to CI Works. Gillett 

and Equity visited CI Works in 

Amesbury and were impressed. 

O’Brien said he is equally 

impressed with the Blackburn 

Industrial site. The building has 

high ceilings, electricity on every 

pole and three cranes across the 

top of the building that move 

around the building and out 

the doors. It also has tall doors, 

which will allow large trucks and 

equipment to come in and out. 

Friery said the Gloucester 

Engineering building has a 

better lay out than the Amesbury 

buildings and “is built like a 

fortress.” It has more leasable 

space for companies, he said. 

Gloucester Mayor Sefatia 

Romeo Theken said, “The 

expansion of CI Works to 

Gloucester is an important 

opportunity for the city, local 

business and the North Shore 

region. The City of Gloucester 

welcomes CI Works’ unique 

approach and its proven record 

Triton’s Budget Fight Is On 

The Boards of Selectmen in 

each of the towns approved 

sending the issue to an override 

vote. But Forget said he believes 

the town leadership is only 

“cautiously optimistic” that 

the override will pass the Town 

Meetings and at the ballot box. 

“It has been a very contentious 

spring,” Forget said. “We are 

one vote away from 35 students 

in a classroom.” 

Salisbury, which is being asked 

to approve an $800,000 increase 

to $11.9 million, will vote on 

May 8. Its Town Meeting is 

May 14. 

Rowley is putting an increase 

of $532,640 before the Town 

Meeting April 30. It will be on 

the ballot May 8. 

Newbury will ask its residents 

to approve an override of 

$359,790 at its Town Meeting 

on April 24 and at the ballot 

box on May 8. 

Expect it to be a hotly 

contested decision. Groups 

of parents in each town are 

already organizing. They are 

lobbying against cutting staff 

and programs in the schools. 

of attracting new, innovative 

businesses and creating a diverse 

range of job opportunities.” 

O’Brien said he is talking with 

a dozen companies about moving 

to the site. One is Blackburn 

Energy (no relation to the site) 

that has developed a creative way 

of harvesting electricity from 18- 

wheel trucks. With Blackburn’s 

system, truck drivers no longer 

have to burn fuel to idle so they 

can power up their cabs. 

Blackburn already leases at CI

Because regional school 

districts answer to multiple 

jurisdictions, approving a 

budget for these districts can 

be complicated. Until this year, 

all three Triton towns approved 

each year’s budget requests. 

That has not been the case in 

other regional school districts. 

Some have been working with 

approved budgets for as much 

as two years, Forget said. 

Should Triton have two towns 

reject the increases, the school 

committee will meet May 16 

to draft a new budget. It has 30 

days to submit a new budget to 

the towns. 

Then the towns have 45 days 

to approve the new budget or let 

it automatically be approved by 

not voting. 

If the district gets to July 1, 

the beginning of the new budget 

year, without an approved 

budget, the state can step in and 

have the towns fund the district 

on a month-by-month. The 

district would have to operate 

on 1/12th of its current budget 

with probably a 2.5 percent 

increase for inflation.

LECTURE ON HAWK WATCHING 

Plum Island is one of the most significant 

spring hawk watching sites on the east 

coast. Unlike during fall migration, when 

hawks fly high along ridges from thermal 

to thermal, we see hundreds of hawks 

flying north along the coast, often less 

than 20 feet above the ground! During the 

lecture, learn how to identify hawks and 

discuss the similarities and differences in 

species composition and flight strategies. 

Following is a free field trip to Plum 

Island, where we’ll observe and put into 

practice our hawk identification skills.

Massachusetts Hawk Watch, please visit

NEWBURYPORT – Homelessness and the Schools - Constant stress and every-day mobility of homelessness impact 

students’ cognitive development and academic performance. Intervention strategies to help children overcome these 

difficulties do work but are falling short due to lack of funding. Hear what the schools are doing to help homeless children 

cope and succeed in school. Learn about the impact that a caring environment, predictable schedule, and regular breakfast/ 

lunch can have on a child’s life. This roundtable discussion features leaders from the Triton, Amesbury and Newburyport 

schools, which reported 342 homeless students this year, and is moderated by Ed Cameron, CEO of Housing Families. 

Join friends and neighbors from Newburyport, Salisbury, Amesbury and surrounding towns in understanding the impact 

of homelessness and what you can do to help. Wednesday, April 25, at 7 pm, Central Congregational Church’s Parish 

Hall, 14 Titcomb Street, Newburyport.

Specializing in New Beginnings, Happy Endings and Smooth Transactions 

Andover and Newbury 

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Rumors of a change in the workplace 

could make you a mite uneasy about going ahead with implementing 

your ideas. Best advice: Ignore the talk and proceed as planned. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Everyone has an opinion on how to 

handle a recent business suggestion. Thank them for their advice. Then 

go ahead and follow your own fine instincts. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) While home is your main focus this 

(c) 2017 King Features Syndicate, Inc. 

week, new issues in the workplace need your attention as well. Take things step by step. Pressures ease 

in time for weekend fun. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be less rigid when handling a relationship problem. You might believe 

you’re in the right, but try to open your mind to the possibilities of facts you’re currently not aware of. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Leos and Leonas run at a hectic pace throughout much of the week. But 

by the weekend, the Lions’ Dens become a purrrfect place for you 

Fine Felines to relax in. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Change is favored early in 

the week. This should make it easier for you to reassess your plans for 

handling a troubling professional relationship. Good luck. 

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A suggestion from a 

colleague could give your professional project that long-needed 

boost. Meanwhile, someone close to you still needs your emotional 

support. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before complying with a 

colleague’s request, check to see that the action benefits all, not just 

one person’s agenda. Continue firming up those travel plans. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your social life is 

on the upswing, and the only problem is deciding which invitations 

to accept. Enjoy yourself before settling down for some serious work 

next week. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) With your creative 

aspects on high, you might want to restart your work on that novel 

or painting you put aside. Your efforts will bring a surge in your selfesteem. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) While you’re generous 

with others, be sure you’re not overlooking your own needs. Take 

time to assess your situation and make adjustments where necessary. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Being applauded for your 

achievement is great. But watch out that you don’t start acting like a 

star. It could lose you valuable support with your next project. 

BORN THIS WEEK: Your strong belief in justice, along with your 

leadership qualities, help you protect the rights of others.

Health & Wellness 

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD 

Changing our behavior, habits, 

attitude, or any aspect of our 

lives can be a difficult thing to 

do. I am not writing as an expert 

on this subject as I have the 

same struggles as everyone else 

with change. However, repeated 

awareness of changes we want to 

make is one strategy to move us 

closer to making that change. 

A good example is Mary, a 

patient of mine. Mary is an 

adult who has had issues with 

decay (bacterial disease that 

breaks down tooth structure), 

dental erosion (chemical 

breakdown of tooth structure), 

and gum recession (loss of the 

supporting structures of the 

teeth). When people like Mary 

present with these problems, we 

dentists present treatment to 

“fix” the problems. However, the 

reasons “WHY” these issues are 

occurring are just as important, 

if not more so, than the “fixes” 

we propose. 

Mary drinks diet soda. In fact, 

Mary doesn’t just drink diet soda; 

she has a diet soda by her side 

all day long. At a recent event I 

If your cable bill keeps 

climbing, you don’t have to give 

up your television. There is a way 

to keep watching your shows and 

movies at a fraction of the cost. 

It’s called cord cutting. 

“Cord cutting” means that you 

can dump your cable company, 

replace it with a small indoor 

HDTV antenna and a streaming 

device, and sign up for individual 

services for much less than you’re 

paying now. 

Brighter Smiles... 

The Common Denominator 

saw Mary sitting and listening 

intently to the presentation. 

At her side was her diet soda. 

Every few minutes Mary would 

unscrew the diet soda cap and 

take a swig. 

The three main dental issues 

Mary has: decay, erosion, and 

recession, have many different 

etiologies. One common 

denominator is pH, which is a 

scale used to describe the acidity 

or alkalinity of solutions or 

environments. The lower the 

pH the more acidic the solution 

or environment is. In order for 

any of the three disease processes 

described above to occur, the pH 

of the oral environment has to 

be acidic. 

While there are many reasons 

the pH of the oral environment 

can be acidic, such as medications 

or disease, dietary factors play a 

significant role. A pH lower than 

5.5 in the oral cavity puts you 

at risk for dental disease. Most 

tap water, for example, has a pH 

of 7. The average diet soda has 

a pH of 3.28. Stomach acid has 

a pH between 1-2. Diet soda is 

very acidic. 

Having a diet soda with a 

meal on occasion is most likely 

not a problem. Typically, after 

consumption of an acidic 

beverage, your saliva will 

neutralize (make your mouth 

more alkaline and less acidic) 

within about a half hour. That is 

Senior Scene 

Cut Cable, Save Money 

There are new streaming 

devices every day: Roku, the 

Roku stick, Amazon Fire stick 

and more. Roku connects to 

your TV with an HDMI cable 

($10) and runs on Wi-Fi from 

your Internet. The stick plugs 

right into your TV. The little 

device will cost you from $30 to 

$100, depending on which one 

you select. 

With Roku alone you can 

access thousands of channels, 

many of them free. Some will 

cost you a few dollars a month. 

Before you sign up for any 

channels, give yourself a month 

of sampling what you can get on 

your device for free. 

If you’re ready to venture out 

and add channels, consider 

why you may have heard that you 

should wait at least a half hour 

before brushing your teeth after 

meals. The problem with Mary 

sipping the diet coke all day long 

is that the pH of her mouth is 

always acidic. This creates a very 

dangerous environment. 

Quieter drills, new materials 

and technologies will not solve 

these problems. While etiologies

such as medications that can 

cause dry mouth and a very 

acidic environment are difficult 

enough to manage, behavioral 

issues are often not discussed in 

enough detail, or at all, because 

they can be more difficult to 

manage. 

Avoidable dental problems are 

the last thing a patient wants to 

hear about and a dentist wants to 

see. In addition, we as providers 

need to adopt a more preventive 

approach to the conditions I 

discussed in this column. Next 

week I will introduce you to one 

way I am currently studying. 

Dr. St. Clair maintains a 

private dental practice in Rowley 

and Newburyport dedicated to 

health-centered family dentistry.

would like to see written about 

or questions you have please

Netflix for its thousands of 

movies, as well as full seasons 

of TV shows, although they’re 

a year late. Hulu, on the other 

hand, airs many network shows 

the next day or week. If you’re 

an Amazon Prime customer, 

look through its movie and TV 

offerings for no additional cost, 

or access premium channels 

(such as HBO and Showtime) at 

a discount. 

That’s where you need to 

beware. Make your choices 

carefully, or you run the risk of 

signing up for so many that it 

equals the cable bill you just got 

rid of. Take it one step at a time. 

Your best bet to start: a Roku 

and Netflix.
