Triton, Towns Begin Rebuilding Relations 

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter 

––––––––––––––––– 

TRITON –School Superintendent Brian Forget 

started the new school year last month with two 

major goals – provide more support for the teachers 

and rebuild relationships with the officials of the 

three towns Triton serves. 

Both goals stem from 2017-2018, which Forget 

called “a tough year.” Everyone in the district felt 

high anxiety over the budget fight, he said. 

The battle between the towns and the district over 

the proposed $42 million budget lasted into the 

summer after voters in two of the towns – Rowley 

and Salisbury – refused to pay their assessment. 

Rowley and Salisbury later approved it after Triton 

reduced the proposed budget to $40.8 million. 

With that budget and the state tuition, the district 

started the year about $75,000 short. That was after 

it cut 23 employees, many of them instructional 

assistants, Forget said. 

“We’ll make it work,” he said. 

But the lingering results of the financial battle was Triton Regional School Superintendent Brian Forget

NEWBURYPORT – So your family is visiting for the 

weekend and you would like to take them out for dinner. 

But you are reminded that Aunt Jo, who just had surgery, is 

coming. She is in a wheelchair. 

How do you find a Newburyport restaurant that caters to 

handicapped customers? 

The Newburyport Commission on Disabilities had been 

grappling with that question for a couple of years, until 

Brian Greenberg, a member, discovered a website that offers 

to tale “the mystery out of accessibility.” 

Developed in Portsmouth, NH, by a group of architects, 

the site is www.accessnavigators.com. For Newburyport 

restaurants, the commission has created the site, www. 

accessnavigators.com/newburyport-ma 

“It’s very exciting,” said commission chair Jennie 

Donahue. 

The website states: “This accessibility guide helps people 

with mobility challenges in Newburyport stay engaged in 

the community.” 

To date, 17 Newburyport restaurants and the two local 

breweries have been checked out and added to the site. 

Three volunteer members of the commission – Greenberg,

“high anxiety” among teachers and district staff and 

“strained” relations between the district and officials 

of the three towns, Forget said. 

“It’s not awful,” he said of the relations with the 

towns. But most discussions about money create 

tensions. 

“I understand. Any increases in the budget are on 

the backs of the towns,” Forget said. 

Revenues from the state through Chapter 70 

funding have been flat for years, going up $40,000 

to $60,000 a year, which does not cover increases in 

health insurance premiums. The other major financial 

challenge is the cost of special education programs, 

which is difficult to predict. 

A meeting between the town and district leaders is 

scheduled this week to begin discussing how they can 

avoid the rancor of last year’s budget battle, he said. 

Forget’s emphasis on support for teachers coincides 

with a new program at the state level to recognize

To the Editor: 

As the 26th consecutive season of summer music comes to a close 

at Maudslay Arts Center Health in the Maudslay & Fitness 

State Park in Newburyport, 

it is time to recognize and thank the many volunteers, sponsors, and 

news media that make this amazing non-profit outdoor venue a 

reality each summer. 

First we salute the local bank that has supported the center and 

the arts for many years and allows us to continue to offer excellent 

musical programs for reasonable cost - The Newburyport Five Cents 

Savings Bank, which partially sponsored the Saturday night series. 

This year attendance was up once again thanks to the fine 

entertainment offered at MAC and the continued publicity by so 

many media outlets - all the newspapers, magazines, radio stations, 

cable TV and online services that helped get our message out to the 

community to insure increasing attendance. 

I would like to personally thank Carol Feingold, publicist; our 

new gardeners Mary and Bob LaPlante who stepped forward after 

the sudden passing of our longtime gardener Bob Schledwitz; Irene 

Johnson, our most talented graphic designer; Steve DeGuglielmo, 

accountant; and our volunteer MAC Board of Directors: Nicholas 

J. Costello, president; Cynthia Costello, vice president, and Tia 

Costello, treasurer. 

A special “shout out” to this year’s volunteers, who worked tirelessly 

to make this series happen: Sunday volunteer coordinator Marjorie 

Anderson, Saturday night volunteer coordinators the Rev. Michael 

and Edna Shirley, Rena Roseman, Jean and John Lambert, Nancy 

Brogden, Regina Branco, Sharyn Russell, and Charlie Costello. 

We thank our patrons, many of whom signed on as financial 

supporters as Friends of MAC: Greg Jardis, Amesbury Industrial 

Supply Co.; Gould Insurance, Agency, Inc.; Cider Hill Farm, 

Amesbury; David and Renee Hamel; Robert Evans family; Al 

Rousseau; Sue McComb; Linda Young; Joy Duperault; Marge and 

Skip Motes; the late Natalea Brown; Jack and Rosemary Werner; 

Maestro Dirk Hillyer; Marsha Coogan, Bob and Ruth D’Entremont; 

Sandy and Bud Manley; Bill and Yoma Ingraham; Lorraine Kelly; 

Tom and Fran Gradzewicz, videographers (history online at our 

website); Linda Burciaga, and last, but not least, the Massachusetts 

Department of Conservation & Recreation, particularly Ron Kovacs 

and staff at Maudslay State Park for their continued support of this 

most important regional resource, and the Friends of the Maudslay 

State Park. 

We would like to pay tribute to family, friends and followers of two 

amazing artists who passed suddenly in early July - Rebecca Parris 

and Paul Broadnax, who have performed for over 20 years at MAC. 

Paul performed his final concert at MAC on July 16, and Rebecca 

unable to open for us on July 15. We will never forget them and their 

amazing talent and friendship. 

On behalf of all of us at Maudslay Arts Center, our deepest 

thanks and best wishes to all. We hope to see all of you again next 

summer for our 27th season. In the meantime check our website 

maudslayartscenter.org to purchase gift certificates in any amount for 

every occasion. For rental information for weddings, anniversaries,

Plum Island Light announces 

Nautical Newburyport Program 

Plum Island Light is pleased to announce that 

local author Dyke Hendrickson is the featured 

speaker at this year’s Annual Meeting to be held 

on Wednesday, September 19 at 7:30 pm at 

PITA Hall. Hendrickson’s focus is an engaging 

presentation based on his most recent book, 

Nautical Newburyport: A History of Captains, 

Clipper Ships and the Coast Guard. 

Did you know that Newburyport was once the most dangerous harbor 

on the East Coast AND among its most prosperous? Local captains 

and sailors led the nation to battle during the American Revolution. 

They sent vessels to Bombay, the gold rush and the farthest reaches 

of the world. And the city is even the birthplace of the U.S. Coast 

Guard. 

In his talk Author Dyke Hendrickson explores the perfection of the 

clipper ship, the city’s famous Federalist mansions and the bold adventures 

from the Age of Sail. Follow the men and women of Newburyport into 

battle, into gales and into fortune--or ruin. Illustrated with over 50 

rare photos uncovered in his research, the talk will focus on the history 

of the city’s waterfront and the advent of life-saving services on Plum 

Island. Plum Island Light and its keepers played a key role in lifesaving 

activities over the last 200+ years. Hendrickson is a resident 

of Newburyport, and a former waterfront-City Hall reporter for The 

Daily News in Newburyport. He’s currently finishing a new book, 

“New England Coast Guard Stories: Remarkable Patriots.” 

The Nautical Newburyport program will follow a brief business agenda 

for the Friends of Plum Island Light. Mr. Hendrickson’s books will 

be available for purchase and for signing before and after the program. 

The admission is free and open to the public; light refreshments will 

be served at this event at PITA Hall, located at 8 Plum Island Blvd, 

Newbury, MA. The meeting will begin at 7:30pm. 

ABOUT PLUM ISLAND LIGHT: Lights at the tip of Plum Island 

have been an active part of navigation in the Merrimac River for over 

225 years. George Washington appointed the first lighthouse keeper in 

1790. The Plum Island lights have guided maritime traffic through the 

tricky waters of the river’s entrance ever since. The United States Coast 

Guard maintains the light and the lens; the Friends of Plum Island 

Light provide for the care of the tower and property. Every summer 

the light is opened for tours on the third Sunday of the month from 

May - September. The final tour of the 2018 season will be held on 

September 30 from 1-4 PM as part of the 17th annual Essex Heritage 

Trails and Sails. More information about the light can be found at: 

http://www.newenglandlighthouses.net/plum-island.html. 

ABOUT FRIENDS OF PLUM ISLAND LIGHT. Friends of Plum 

Island Light is a non-profit organization (501c3) run by volunteers to 

oversee the preservation and maintenance of the 

property. We rely on the efforts of dedicated 

volunteers as well as our membership programs 

to ensure that the light remains a vital ongoing 

presence on Plum Island. In addition, we offer 

the lighthouse property for private tours and 

wedding ceremonies. For information about 

membership or these events please contact us

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With your Arian charm 

quotient at an almost all-time high this week, plus all the facts 

to back you up, you just might win over the last doubters to 

your proposal. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might be in line for that 

job change you applied for. But be advised that you could be 

called on to defend your qualifications against supporters of 

other applicants. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Creating a new approach to an 

old idea is one way to get beyond that workplace impasse. No 

such problems in your personal life, where things continue to flow smoothly. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be more forthcoming about your feelings concerning a proposed change 

either in your workplace or in your personal life. Your opinions are 

valuable. Don’t keep them hidden. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A changing situation in your life needs 

more patience than you appear to be willing to offer. Allowing it to 

develop at its own pace is the wisest course you can take at this time. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) With more stability in your 

life -- on both personal and professional levels -- this could be a good 

time to strengthen relationships with both friends and colleagues. 

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) People have always relied on 

your integrity not only to get the job done, but to get it done right. So 

don’t be pressured by anyone into cutting corners to save time. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While others might get 

rattled over unexpected changes, your ability to adapt calmly and 

competently helps you make a positive impression during a crucial 

period. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A changing 

environment might be daunting for some, but the adventurous 

Sagittarian takes it all in stride. A friend from the past could awaken 

some meaningful memories. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) With your selfassurance 

rising to full strength, the bold Goat should feel confident 

about opening up to new ventures as well as new relationships. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Reaching out to someone 

who has been unkind to you might not be easy. But in the long run 

it will prove to have been the right thing to do. A friend offers moral 

support. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your keen insight once again helps 

you work through a seemingly insoluble problem in your workplace. 

The weekend offers a good chance to develop new relationships. 

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a knack for finding details that others 

would overlook. You would make a fine research scientist.

Health & Wellness 

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD 

In a recent poll I read, people 

were asked if they would choose 

a cosmetic makeover, liposuction, 

facelift, or teeth whitening if 

money was no object. 52% of 

those surveyed said they would 

choose teeth whitening. While 

there are many ways to whiten 

teeth, including professionally 

in the dental office, consumers 

are spending over $1 billion per 

year on over-the-counter (OTC) 

whitening products. People want 

whiter teeth because it makes 

them look better. 

Almost all whitening products 

will lighten teeth to a certain 

extent because they all contain 

hydrogen peroxide or a derivative. 

The controlled environment of the 

dental office and the quality of the 

materials used usually provides the 

most predictable and most effective 

results. If you choose to use OTC 

products you will just want to be 

aware of the potential risks, the 

most common being overuse. 

All forms of tooth whitening 

can have side effects, including 

gum irritation and sensitive teeth. 

These side effects are normal and 

usually subside once the treatment 

A big percentage of retired 

seniors have only Social Security 

for income. The average Social 

Security benefit is $1409.91 per 

month. Taken together, those two 

facts can be scary, but less so if 

you make plans in advance. 

If you know you’ll have only 

Social Security, there are big 

steps you can take now. Consider 

moving to a location with a lower 

cost of living or a warm climate. 

Share your home with someone, 

possibly another senior. Wait as 

long as possible before collecting 

Social Security. 

It’s the smaller steps, however, 

Brighter Smiles... 

has stopped or shortly thereafter. 

When your teeth are whitened 

under a dentist’s supervision, he 

or she will be able to detect any 

adverse side effects the bleaching 

may have and give suggestions to 

correct. If you choose to whiten 

on your own, it is best to make 

your dental team aware of the use 

of those products to help guide 

you. 

The issue with overusing 

whitening products is the 

continuous assault of the pulp or 

nerve of the tooth through any 

exposed dentinal or root surface by 

the bleaching gel. If the whitening 

is causing tooth sensitivity it 

means the gel is affecting the pulp 

of the tooth in some way. In the 

short-term that’s usually not an 

issue and the pulp recovers. 

In my experience it is very rare 

to see permanent damage done 

to teeth if the whitening products 

are used properly. It is important 

to note that different kinds of 

teeth require different strengths of 

bleaching to get the desired result. 

These different “types” of teeth also 

have varying levels of sensitivity to 

the bleaching products. 

Teeth belonging to patients 30 

and under and teeth that are yellow 

in appearance, typically take less 

time to achieve the desired result. 

These teeth are also the most 

susceptible to the side effects of 

bleaching. People with recession 

are also more susceptible to

Senior Scene 

that can make or break your 

efforts to live only on Social 

Security. 

Start your planning a year in 

advance. Call Social Security 

and find out what your benefit 

amount is going to be. Be sure 

to calculate the deduction that 

will automatically come out for 

Medicare. 

Practice for at least six months 

(a year is better) living on that 

smaller amount to be sure it can 

be done. Calculate your monthly 

expenses and keep track of every 

dime you spend to identify places 

you can cut back. Get on a 

“budget billing” plan for utilities 

so you’re billed the same amount 

each month. 

Give serious consideration to 

having a Medicare supplement 

sensitivity. This group will usually 

see great results with professional 

at-home tray whitening in about 

2 weeks. 

The older and darker teeth are, 

the more time it takes to lighten 

them and the less susceptible they 

are to side effects. For example, I 

treated a patient with severe staining 

due to tetracycline medication as a

in a dentist? 

child who was told his teeth would 

not lighten all that much. He did 

at-home professionally monitored 

bleaching every night (or almost) 

for 9 consecutive months and got 

amazing results. 

There is nothing quite like a 

bright beautiful smile. The simple 

process of teeth bleaching can 

completely change a smile. There 

are some OTC products that are 

perfect for some patients as long 

as the included directions are 

followed. For those who have 

more bleach challenged teeth or 

want more predictable results, 

professional whitening is advised. 

Teeth Whitening makes a great 

present too!

plan to take care of medical 

expenses that Medicare doesn’t 

cover. 

Use your extra money to pay 

off all credit cards. Have car 

maintenance done. Pay ahead 

on property taxes. Consider 

what items you need to buy 

now, while you have income. If 

self-employed, beware your tax 

situation, and what you’ll owe 

when. 

Become familiar with senior 

services in your area so you know 

where and what they are. Know 

where the food bank is, for 

example. 

Think it through before you 

jump. Be sure it’s doable ... living 

on only Social Security. For many 

seniors, it’s the only option.
