Inn Street Montessori School's Closing Frustrates Families

REGIONAL – Th e Inn Street Montessori School has closed, leaving parents of students from grades one to eight scrambling this summer to fi nd a new school to attend this fall.

Elease Colcord, who purchased the private school in 2007, notifi ed the stunned parents by letter a few days after school ended in June, blaming “shifting enrollment” as the main reason the school could not continue to operate.

Inn Street's enrollment fl uctuated with a maximum enrollment of 51 students. Tuition was about $13,000 a year.

Inn Street employed seven teachers, some of whom have already secured new jobs.

Founded offi cially in 2004 by Mauren Daley, who has been teaching a Montessori-style curriculum for 42 years, the school had been serving Newburyport-area students since the early 1990s.

Several parents, who asked not to be identifi ed, said they felt betrayed by the closing. Th e students did not have the opportunity to say good-bye to the teachers and friends. Without warning, they lost the safe environment they had enjoyed at the school for years, said one parent.

Parents also said there were options to save the school, including one

parent who off ered to fund the school. But they were not given time to implement new fi nancing and marketing plans for the school, the parents said.

Th is spring, when enrollment appeared to be dropping, Newburyport Development, the school's landlord, agreed to allow the school to consolidate its classes on the fi rst fl oor. It had been on two fl oors at the Inn Street building. Colcord assured the parents that by shrinking the size of the school, it would stay open.

Colcord, who worked at the school for almost 12 years as head teacher, curriculum coordinator and then owner, could not be reached for comment.

She bought the school from Daley, who owns Newburyport Montessori School. Th e closing of Inn Street has no impact on Newburyport Montessori School, which has a pre-school and four classes of kindergarten students.

Th e timing of the closure came after the enrollment period for several other schools. Other parents complained that they will have to pay substantially higher tuition to attend another school.

Several schools, led by Sparhawk School in

REGIONAL – Remember when a gallon of gas at the pump cost $1.32?

Th at was sometime in the mid-1980s after one of the fi rst in a long string of Middle East crises drove the price of gas above $1.

It could cost that little again, as drivers of electric vehicles are fi nding out.

With the price of electricity at 18 cents per KWH, the price of what is the equivalent of a gallon, could be cost around $1.32.

And if that is not appealing enough, the Commonwealth announced last month that it is joining the federal government in providing fi nancial incentives to promote the purchase of an EV car.

Gov. Deval Patrick unveiled a new program, called Massachusetts Off ers Rebates for Electric Vehicles (MOR-EV) in which the state is paying a rebate of $1,500 to $2,500 if you buy or lease an EV. Th e state will pay $1,500 toward the purchase of a plug-in hybrid car and $2,500 for plug-in EV cars.

Th e federal government will pay a tax credit of up to $7,500 for the

Th e sign outside the Inn Street Montessori School .Photo by Stewart Lytle

purchase of an EV. EV models, like conventional cars, range

widely in price. At the lower end, the Chevy Spark costs around $27,000, while the Honda Accord, BMW i3 and Mercedes cost in the low to mid $40,000s, and the Tesla Model S costs between $70,000 and more than $90,000.

Even without the state rebates, sales of electric and hybrid cars has doubled in Massachusetts in the last eight months to more than 3,600 vehicles.

One remaining obstacle for consumers to buy an EV seems to be the concern that they will run out of power. Unlike conventional cars that run on gas, which can be purchased on almost any corner, most EV owners charge their vehicles at home overnight, using a regular 120 volt plug. Faster charges require

a 240 volt power source. Most electric cars can travel 50 to 80 miles on a single charge. Th e Tesla

will go up to 300 miles.To reduce the anxiety of running out of power

Dear Editor,

Market Street Baptist Church and The Rock Church Amesbury (formerly 1st United Methodist) both of Amesbury are a part of the City Amesbury Days Celebration “Kids' Fair” Day at the Park that took place at the Amesbury Park on July 2.

It is our sixth year as “The Kid’s Kingdom” running a Bouncy House and an Obstacle Course inflatables along with our "Salvation Course Challenge" and also offering free sno-cones. The two churches combine teens & adults and talents, ideas, time and money to provide this event and spread the gospel. The Gideons International Organization joins us to hands out free mini New Testaments to the children.

Our goal is to provide a safe and fun environment for families to enjoy the day together at no cost to them or the City. The equipment is rented from the local Baptist Association as a closed box trailer called "the block party" and contains everything we need from generators to sno-cone syrup.

Vermette’s Supermarket, Pond Street, Amesbury donates about 30 to 60 pound of ice for sno-cones, our Boy Scout Troop 4 loan us tents for shade and the Amesbury Recreation’s Director, Kathleen Crowley coordinates the overall event with us and the City.

Thank you to the volunteers who helped and to those who donate to us. We are thankful for this opportunity to give to the community and for those who support our needs for this event.

Dear Editor,

The Byfield Community Arts Center would like to thank the community for their support in making the first Byfield Music and Arts Festival such an amazing event! On June 28 Manter Field in Byfield was transformed from an athletic field into a place where people of all ages, from infant to grandparent, could relax and enjoy the summer sun. For 12 hours, more than 16 bands performed continuously on three outdoor stages, 40 vendors displayed and sold their arts and crafts, children and adults played games and painted an 8 x 20 foot art wall, and everyone enjoyed delicious food and beverages supplied by local restaurants and brewers.

A dedicated committee and many volunteers helped make this all happen and the local business community provided support. We are grateful to Fusion Blue Productions, The Institution for Savings Charitable Foundation, Clemenzi Music, Omni Security, Wild Maple Music, Soineann practioner Trish DeCaprio, Pearson Hardware, Align Credit Union, The Grog, Cutting Chiropractic, Bridge Road Signs, Robyn Verrette and the Triton Art Department, and the many folks who showed up to get things done from beginning to end.

We also extend special thanks to the Town of Newbury Administrator and Board of Selectmen, the Recreation Committee, the Newbury DPW, and the Newbury Police Department.

Is An EV In Your Near Future?along the road, the state is off ering cities and towns and even employers incentives to install power stations to charge the EV cars. Th e governor unveiled grants of almost $600,000 to 16 municipalities, two universities and one state agency to install EV charging stations and buy about 200 EVs for their fl eets.

Among North Shore cities on the list were Amesbury, Beverly and Gloucester.

Currently, fi nding a public power station along the North Shore is a challenge. One, and probably the only power station for EV cars in our area, is at the Mass Audubon's Parker River Education Center on Plum Island Turnpike.

Drivers of electric cars on the North Shore can pull into Joppa Flats Education Center for a free "fi ll up" at the electric charging station in its parking lot. Sanctuary Director Bill Gette said the nature center was chosen to showcase the station, which is powered by solar panels, largely because of Joppa Flats’ track record in promoting Mass Audubon’s sustainability goals.

Th e charging process takes a couple of hours, so visitors can plug in and enjoy the education center before they drive off in a recharged vehicle.

Several towns and cities are gearing up to install power stations

for electric cars. Amesbury Mayor Ken Gray and

Deputy Director of Community and Economic Development William Scott told the city council recently the city wants to install a dual connector charging station in the downtown parking garage.

Amesbury, recently designated a Green Community by the state, will also purchase an electric 2014 Ford Focus EV for the water department to use in reading water meters.

Th e state is giving Amesbury a $17,500 grant to help pay for the power station and the vehicle.

West Newbury is considering installing a charging station. Rick Parker of the Energy Advisory Committee proposed that West Newbury take advantage of the state's incentive program to install the power station, possibly near the library.

Th e West Newbury Selectmen also indicated they will consider buying electric vehicles to replace town-owned cars and trucks as they age.

In Newburyport, Molly Ettenborough, the recycling and energy manager, said the city is making space for power stations at the new senior center near the Bresnahan School. Currently she said there are no plans to install any power stations downtown.

“We are looking to put an EV

into the city fl eet where and when it makes sense, i.e. when we need a replacement such as a meter reading vehicle or similar or recycling truck, though the state does not have trucks on the EV list yet,” she wrote in an email.

Th e Waterfront Trust discussed adding a power station when it refurbishes its parking lot called Riverfront Park, alongside the new Ale House. Th at way, EV owners could recharge their cars while taking a walk on the waterfront or stopping in what will be the city's largest restaurant.

Electric vehicles are considered one of the major steps government is taking to reduce the nation's carbon footprint and its dependence on foreign oil.

Oil extraction, transport, refi ning and use constitute more than 40 percent of U.S. carbon emissions. Much of that comes from the gas burned in cars and trucks

According to a range of studies, the charging of an electric car leads to signifi cantly less carbon dioxide pollution than that from a conventional car. In New England, a full battery electric car emits more than 70 percent less carbon dioxide than the best-selling gasoline-powered vehicle.

Inn Street Montessori School's ClosingFrustrates Families

Amesbury and the North Shore Montessori School in Rowley, have welcomed the Inn Street students and families.

Sparhawk and North Shore held open houses for the students shortly after the parents were notifi ed the school was closing.

“Both schools have been very loving and caring,” said one parent.

Th e challenge for the parents and teachers, seeking new positions, is that there are not many elementary schools, public or private, along the North Shore that teach in the style developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.

“People in this area are looking for that (Montessori-style schools),” said Margaret Henry, a long-time Montessori teacher, school board member and for the last eight years owner of the North Shore Montessori School.

Several students from Inn Street have visited her North Shore school and some have applied, Henry said. North Shore currently has 36 students in fi ve grades and is expanding. Henry said she added the fi fth grade this year and will grow to six grades next year. Children from age thirty-two months through age 10 may attend North Shore. Th e school is on two acres of land that

has chickens and gardens.“Our focus in applying Montessori

principles is to give each child the opportunity to be nurtured, educated and inspired at his or her own unique pace in order to optimize their personal educational experience,” she wrote.

In addition to Sparhawk and North Shore Montessori, other options include the Clark School, which is moving next month from its Danvers campus to Route 1 in Rowley. Th e move into a building almost twice as large as its current campus will allow Clark to have more space for art and science classrooms, outside activities and many more parking spaces.

In Beverly, schools include the Harborlight/Stoneridge Montessori School and the Waring School, which has a middle school and high school.

Two Montessori-style elementary schools operate in New Hampshire: the Cornerstone School in Stratham, NH, and the Southern New Hampshire Montessori Academy in Londonerry, NH.

Cornerstone, which was founded in 1985, has 165 students, from toddlers through eighth grade. Its campus, on 11 acres, includes a full gym and stage, a graded soccer fi eld,

sledding hill, climbing trees, and an amphitheater.

Th ere are two Montessori-style public charter schools, the only ones in Massachusetts, in Newburyport and Haverhill.

Th e River Valley Charter School in Newburyport serves 288 students. Its students are selected by a lottery system. Like all public schools, the charter school is funded by the state.

Similarly, the Hill View Montessori Public Charter School in Haverhill serves 304 students, who attend tuition free.

CAR SHOWDisplay Your Antique Car or

Carriage! Do you have a classic car that you love, and want to show off? Plan ahead to join the North Shore Old Car Club and Amesbury Mayor Key Gray for the First Annual “Cars and Carriages” car show, which will be held in downtown Amesbury on July 19th. The event will celebrate Amesbury’s history as a manufacturing center for carriages and early automobiles. “Not only were we the world’s largest manufacturer of carriages,” Gray said, “but as the world moved to automobiles, Amesbury played a prominent role in that transition.” Right now, event organizers are looking for cars to be exhibited. Any car more than 25 years old is eligible, but cars made in 1930 or earlier will be particularly welcomed. Already expected in the show: 1908 and 1913 electric cars and several horse-drawn carriages, all built in Amesbury. The show will also include tours of LeBaron Bonney, an Amesbury business that provides restoration kits, upholstery, parts and accessories for antique and custom cars. The building was originally part of the Biddle and Smart Company plant, where carriages were manufactured from 1870 through the early 1900's. As the automotive industry took off, the factory was converted to building auto bodies. Now, from that same building, LeBaron

Bonney produces materials to restore antique cars – including cars that were originally built there. If you are interested in displaying your antique car at the show, please contact David Costello at 978-335-8739. A $10 donation to benefit the Amesbury Carriage Museum will be requested. The show will be held Saturday, July 19th, rain or shine, on Chestnut Street in Amesbury. Free spectator admission and parking.

------------------------------------------------------------HAMPTON, NH - Th e 5th Annual Hampton Beach Comedy Festival kicks off with a superb lineup of standup comedians from Boston and New England on July 24-25 at Ashworth by the Sea, the landmark hotel on Ocean Boulevard. Highlights of this year’s event include the last local public performance of the year from Jimmy Dunn, who leaves for Los Angeles to shoot the CBS sitcom Th e McCarthys in August. Tickets are on sale now at the Ashworth by the Sea, on-line at Eventbrite.com/e/Hampton-beach-comedy-festival or at the door on show night if space allows. For more information, go to scampscomedy.com or hamptonbeachcomedy.com. Dunn, who lives in Hampton, founded the festival fi ve years ago as a way to break up the summer. “It was a fun way for me to invite guys up for a visit, and to get out and see folks that I usually see on the beach or around town,” said Dunn. “I was doing a lot of travelling then. Th is year, with the sitcom (which will air on Th ursday nights at 9:30 beginning Oct. 30), it’s a way to catch up with folks before I go to Hollywood.” Comedians from previous festivals have gone on to write or perform comedy on national network shows such as Th e Tonight Show, Th e Late Show with David Letterman, Th e Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Comedy Central. But career success was secondary to the ability to make audiences laugh. Th is year’s list of comics includes some old favorites and new favorites. Th e fi rst night lineup features Paul Gilligan, Dave Rattigan, Chris Pennie, Mac Livingston, Will Noonan, and Hampton's Josh Day. For the July 25 fi nale, Dunn will be joined by Lamont Price, Katie Grady, Jeff Koen, Abhishek Shah, and Jesse Bickford, another seacoast native who currently lives in Dover. “Jimmy just picks guys that he likes, and that he wants his friends and neighbors from Hampton to see,” said Rattigan, a comedian who has performed in three previous festivals. “Th e bonus used to be that if you were on the same night he was on, you could stop at his house before the gig and he’d cook you a steak. If you were on a night that he wasn’t on, you’d go to the beach and get a slice and some fried dough. “Unlike other festivals, the focus is really just on having fun and enjoying comedy,” Rattigan said. “Th ere are no contests, and no entry fee, no actors that aren’t ready for standup showcases or guys who are only in high-profi le spots because their agent placed them there. Th ese are funny guys who are picked to be here because they’re funny, and they’re here to enjoy the show. You see comics hanging out with the people before and afterwards, and it’s just very loose, and very fun.” “I’m really excited to be doing this,” said Bickford, a southern Maine native who is performing in the festival for the fi rst time. “It’s great to be involved with a comedy festival that’s so well-known, and to be with such high caliber comedians. Performing with Jimmy, before he leaves for L.A., will be a lot of fun.” Th e doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. shows, each of which will feature six comedians. Tickets are $18. Patrons must be 21-plus. Th ere is a full bar in the showroom. For comedians bios, more photos, and more information, go to scampscomedy.com or hamptonbeachcomedy.com.

Emily Sousa of Rowley Takes the Stage inBoston Children's Theatre Summer Studios Production

of Fame, Jr.Th e Academy Award®

winning fi lm and Emmy Award® winning television series leaps onto the stage for Boston Children’s Th eatre’s (BCT) Summer Studios 3 production of the acclaimed musical FAME JR. Featuring the talents of 9-year old Emily Sousa of Rowley, FAME JR will be performed in the new state-of-the-art theater at Shore Country Day School in Beverly, MA from July 17 – 20.

Cast in the ‘Acting Ensemble’ in FAME JR, Emily is no stranger to the stage. She has appeared in A Christmas Carol at North Shore Music Th eatre and in Th e Little Mermaid, Annie and Th e Wizard of Oz with the TTS Players. She has also

been seen in Seussical with Acting Out and in Cinderella at the Neverland Th eatre. She is a student at Pine Grove Elementary School.

“FAME JR is a musical told through the eyes of young actors who have big talents and big dreams,” explained BCT Executive Artistic Director Burgess Clark. “FAME JR’s book and score have ignited a vibrant creative spark within all our students and I know their excitement and enthusiasm for this production will have a profound eff ect on our audiences. Under the guidance of veteran director Mary Guaraldi, who recently directed our World Premiere production of Th e Homework Machine, FAME JR will be a thrilling journey for everyone in the theater.”

FAME JR follows a group of talented students as they make their way through 4 years at the prestigious High School for the Performing Arts in New York City. A bittersweet, and ultimately inspiring story fi lled with high octane musical and dance numbers, FAME JR explores the world of the performing arts and the triumphs of challenges of following one’s dreams. Directed by Guaraldi with choreography by Brian Dillon, FAME JR was conceived and developed by David De Silva with book by Jose Fernandez, lyrics by Jacques Levy and music by Steve Margoshes. Th e title song “FAME” was written by Dean Pitchford and Michael Gore.

Don't let the fi rst "ding-dong" of the doorbell catch you up to your elbows in dirty dishes and half-fi nished appetizers.

For your next party, prepare your appetizers ahead of time with these simple tips and recipes:"Let's not reinvent the wheel. Take items you already know how to make and turn them cool and trendy

with some add-ons," says Chef Richard Worthen, culinary instructor at Th e Art Institute of Seattle. You can dress up egg, tuna or chicken salad with a variety of fl avors and spices. He recommends chopped cilantro instead of chopped parsley, adding chipotle to egg salad or adding almonds, walnuts or pistachio nuts for some crunch.

For a gluten-free appetizer, try lettuce cups. "You could do a quick chop of a variety of three-to-four items and put it in a lettuce cup," says Chef Brian Shulse of Th e Art Institute of California - San Francisco, a campus of Argosy University. "It can also go traditional Asian - ground pork with some spices that can just be popped in the microwave to heat before serving."

"You could do a fl at bread with seasonal vegetables on it," Shulse says. "Make the bread in advance, roll it out, put olive oil on it, add seasonal vegetables, and bake." Worthen recommends tomato toast, which is made by taking cut tomatoes and rubbing the juice and pulp into french bread slices. Th is can serve as a base for any type of spread.

Shulse says people tend to go to proteins, such as shrimp cocktail and cubes of steak, and not to the veggie tray. He says you can make all kinds of skewers with diff erent meats, then add fresh chopped herbs and citrus to Greek yogurt for a quick and easy sauce. Another great make-ahead protein is tuna tartar, which can be made with a high-quality ahi tuna steak and served with store-bought kettle chips.

Phyllo-wrapped asparagus, made with store-bought phyllo dough, is another easy recipe, along with water chestnuts wrapped in bacon. Simply wrap one third of a slice of bacon around each water chestnut, roll in brown sugar and bake at 425 degrees until brown and crisp.

Try these easy make-ahead recipes courtesy of Shulse:

Kevin is a health care fi nance executive with 25 years of progressive leadership positions.

Most recently, Kevin has served as CFO/VP of Finance for Steward Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, MA. While there, he led Holy Family’s high-performing fi nance division since 2010 and provided counsel and guidance to the health system on strategic fi nancial planning and methods to improve fi scal performance. Kevin previously held senior leadership positions at Catholic Medical Center, Children's Hospital Boston, and Lahey Clinic.

“Kevin’s extensive health care fi nancial management experience and overall leadership will be a tremendous asset to AJH,” said Mark L. Goldstein, Executive Vice President/CFO. “He brings a combination of fi nancial acumen, local market familiarity, and analytical thinking that will support our long-term fi nancial and strategic goals.”

“I am thrilled to be joining the team at Anna Jaques and continuing its tradition of fi nancial excellence,” said Kevin Kilday. “I also look forward to becoming a part of the engaged communities which so fully support this hospital.”

Kevin holds an MBA and BA from Boston University. He is also a member of Healthcare Financial Management Association. He lives in Wilmington, Massachusetts with his family.

AMESBURY - 11 year old Aidan Hawes of Amesbury, Massachusetts received the 2014 Sportsman Award (for Class of 2021) from Mass Elite Basketball (Elite Basketball) as part of the AAU organization's Spring Awards Celebration.

Hawes, who played on the Class of 2021's National 5th Grade Division 2 Team and recently completed his 1st year with Elite Basketball, was highlighted as a key contributor in helping his team earn both a place at the Massachusetts State AAU Final Four Championship (the team finished 3rd, earning a bronze

medal) and a bid to the National AAU Championship in Hampton, Virginia, later this month.

According to Eric Polli, Hawes' Coach and founder of Elite Basketball, "Aidan is not only a skilled player, but is an outstanding teammate. His strong work ethic is contagious to his teammates---leading by example and making everyone better". These traits exemplify what The Sportsmanship Award is about.

According to Hawes' mother, Belen Wieler Hawes, they selected Elite Basketball because of it's: commitment to teaching the fundamentals, player development and exposure, and family focus. "For Aidan to be one of the student athletes recognized for his work ethic, leadership, and outstanding performance, had us beaming with pride and thanks that we found a special basketball family where he can excel, grow, and have fun with his teammates and coaches".

Itching to get on the water and have some fun this summer? Whether it's fishing, sailing, cruising or watersports, they're easier and more accessible than many think. Even better? Boating is one surefire way to make every summer weekend feel like a vacation close to home.

Boating is a popular American pastime, with an estimated 88.5 million Americans getting on the water each year, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association. What's more, boating is close to home with 90 percent of Americans living within an hour's drive of a lake, river or ocean perfect for boating.

"The reality is there's a boat for every budget and for boaters, being on the water creates priceless experiences - whether it's fishing, watersports, sailing, personal watercraft or cruising, spending time on the water with family and friends creates memories for a lifetime," says Carl Blackwell, president of Discover Boating. "Being an avid boater, I know how accessible it can be and how important it is to do your research to figure out what kind of boat fits your budget and lifestyle. One of the best kept secrets is how to get on the water without owning a boat - consider it research since it gets you on your way to becoming a boater before you own one."

DiscoverBoating.com has four budget-friendly ways to get your feet wet this summer:* Join the club: Boat clubs are one of the best ways to experience the boating lifestyle. There are thousands

of boating clubs and organizations across the U.S. that offer everything from sailing to powerboating and watersports. Members receive access to a fleet of boats for use, plus clubs usually provide maintenance, storage and boating education. Find a club near you using the boat club finder.

* Get schooled: Boating schools and courses are a great way to take the helm and learn the rules of the water. Hone your sailing or powerboating skills by learning the basics in boat operation and have fun in the process. Check out a list of courses and find one that floats your boat close to home.

* Test the waters: Rental options have come a long way with hourly or daily rentals to peer-to-peer options making boating even more accessible. Boat renters can now rent directly through boat owners, creating an affordable way to use privately-owned boats equipped with amenities from insurance to boating education. Another popular option is fractional ownership, similar to lodging timeshares, where members can pre-schedule use of the boat online, and week-long charters that let you fully experience the boating lifestyle.

Climb aboard: Looking to captain your own vessel? There's a boat out there for every budget, interest and body of water. Use the Discover Boating boat selector tool to narrow down the search for everything from price to number of passengers to boating activities and more. The tool matches you with boats that fit your needs, so you can do your homework and have a head start on shopping.

This spring and summer, don't get left on the dock and take advantage of the warmer weather aboard a boat. Whether curious about boating or looking into ownership, explore opportunities to get your feet wet and experience the fun of life on the water.

The Fools to Perform Castle Hill Picnic Concert July 24th

"Boston’s First Lady of Jazz” Rebecca Parris returns to Maudslay Arts Center (MAC) by popular demand this Saturday evening, July 19, at 7 p.m., followed by Shirim Klezmer Orchestra on Sunday, July 20, at 2 p.m. MAC is located at 95 Curzon Mill Road, Newburyport.

Parris has performed all over the world with her own groups, as well as with some of jazz's greatest legends, including Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Terry Gibbs, David "Fathead" Newman, Norman Simmons. Harold Jones, Andy Simpkins, Gerry Wiggins, Bill Cunliff e, Red Mitchell, Buster Cooper, Nat Pierce, and many others. “Rebecca's vocal sound is mature and immensely satisfying,” wrote Bruce Crowther of Jazz Journal International. “She delivers lyrics with care and aff ection, with wit and fl air, and her phrasing is exemplary.”

Th en come back to Maudslay Arts Center on Sunday, July 20, for Shirim Klezmer Orchestra. A little bit Polish, a little Russian and a little Near Eastern, Klezmer is the music of the Eastern European Jews. Th e Shirim Klezmer Orchestra shimmers with all of the chutzpah, glorious joy and soulful crying of the itinerant Yiddish troubadours who performed throughout Europe for 400 years.

Th e Klezmer sound washed ashore America during the great immigration period between 1890 and 1910, where it fi rst collided with the syncopation of American city life, the excitement of jazz, blues and ragtime and the exuberance of the big bands. Be prepared to kick up your heels.

Celebrating its 22nd season, the MAC performance schedule off ers something for everyone, including the classical Aeterna Trio, Boston’s First Lady of Jazz Rebecca Parris, foot-stompin’ country with Don Campbell, the chutzpah of the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra, Th e Shaw Brothers, Th e Paul Broadnax Quintet, and much more.

Aeterna Trio will close the season on Sunday, Aug. 24. New to the Maudslay Arts Center, Aeterna Trio features Ben Brikbeck on piano, Andy Happel on violin and Devon Colella on cello playing original music, classical crossover, and beloved themes from all over the world, both re-imagined and reinvented in real-time. Whether you're sitting under the stars on a moonlit evening, or lounging on a blanket on a Sunday afternoon, the Maudslay Arts Center Summer Concert Series provides the perfect setting for your entertainment pleasure.

Saturday concerts begin at 7 p.m. and include: Rebecca Parris on July 19, Lance Bryant on July 26, Th e Don Campbell Band on Aug. 9, Th e Paul Broadnax Quintet on Aug. 16, and Liz Frame and the Kickers on Aug. 23.

Sunday afternoon performances begin at 2 p.m. and include: Shirim Klezmer Band on July 20, Th e Shaw Brothers on Aug.10, Th e Hal McIntyre Big Band tribute to Frank Sinatra on Aug.17, and Aeterna Trio on Aug. 24.

Maudslay Arts Center is located at 95 Curzon Mill Road in Newburyport. Th e concerts are held rain or shine, moving inside to the MAC Concert Barn when weather dictates. Concert goers are encouraged to bring a picnic dinner, which can be casual or as elaborate as a gourmet meal with tablecloth and fl owers and whatever suits the patron's fancy. Delicious desserts such as seasonal cobblers, brownies, and Hodgie’s ice cream, and beverages may be purchased during intermission, all served by dedicated MAC volunteers, who continue to make this non-profi t series happen.

Saturday performances start at 7 p.m., with gates opening at 6 p.m. Patio seating (tables and chairs) is $25, while lawn seating (bring your own chairs or blankets) is $20.

Senior SceneIs Your Handbag Prepared to Help Save Your Life?

Why Aspirin is the Ultimate Handbag Essential

The Town Common



Law Office ofElaine M. Dalton

Wills, Trusts, Probate, Elder LawMedicaid Applications

www.elainedaltonlaw.com978-373-1120

(BPT) - Did you know that nearly 300,000 women in the U.S. have heart attacks each year? Yet, most women's handbags are better prepared to manage a broken nail (55 percent) or bad hair day (36 percent) than a heart attack (17 percent).

Bayer HealthCare, the makers of Bayer(R) Aspirin, and WomenHeart: Th e National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease join together on a national campaign, Handbags & Hearts, that urges women to carry aspirin in their handbags - the one item they do not leave home without - at all times to be prepared for a sudden heart attack. Help spread the word about heart attack preparedness, as knowing what to do in the moment could be the diff erence between life and death.

"As a cardiologist, I see women everyday who aren't aware of the unique symptoms women often experience or what to do if they suspect they are having a heart attack. I urge all women to equip themselves with the knowledge they need to save their own lives," said Tracy Stevens, MD, FACC, Medical Director of the Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute's Muriel I. Kauff man Women's Heart Center and member of the WomenHeart Scientifi c Advisory Council, WomenHeart's advisory group of the nation's leading experts on women's heart health. "Take the time to visit HandbagsAndHearts.com and make sure you carry aspirin in your handbag every day to be better prepared for a sudden heart attack."

A survey, conducted by Wakefi eld Research on behalf of Bayer HealthCare, revealed that 61 percent of women feel they are likely to have a heart attack in their lifetime, yet 93 percent don't have knowledge of each of the diff erent heart attack symptoms women often experience. When taken during a heart attack as directed by a

doctor, aspirin has been shown to reduce the risk of death - by 23 percent - and lessen the damaging eff ects on the heart muscle. Less than a quarter of those surveyed said they carry it in their handbag. Ladies - what are you waiting for?

Put your heart health front and center today by following this quick and easy advice from Dr. Stevens:

* Take the time to learn the specifi c signs of heart attack in women. In an online survey of 1,000 women, most had limited knowledge of heart attack symptoms diff erent to them such as nausea (43 percent) and cold sweats (36 percent). Trust your gut - if something doesn't seem right, don't delay.

* If you suspect a heart attack, calling 911 and chewing or crushing and swallowing aspirin as directed by a physician can be life-saving.

* Be proactive about your heart health; commit to discussing your heart health with your doctor at your next physical to help identify your coronary risks and put a plan in place to address those risks - before you have a heart attack. Seventy-one percent of women did not discuss their heart health at their last doctor visit.

* Visit HandbagsAndHearts.com to learn the signs and symptoms of heart attack.

Even if we don't have caregivers now, it's a good idea to look to the future. Th e Federal Citizen Information Center has a package of information that we -- and our caregivers -- need to have.

Th e Family Caregivers Kit is free and was put together with an eye to gathering lots of information in one place. Th e kit comes with nine publications: the 2014 Consumer Action Handbook; how to spot health scams; money smarts for older adults; two pamphlets on medications; and four publications on handling someone else's money. Th ese four include power of attorney, court-appointed guardians, representative payees and Department of Veterans Aff airs fi duciaries and trustees under a revocable living trust.

All good stuff , with information we need now and when caregivers come into our lives.

Th e 2014 Consumer Action Handbook is worth having all by itself. Its 152 pages contain solid information on insurance, banking, buying or leasing cars, privacy and identity theft, credit, travel, food, going green and much more. If you're scammed or need to fi le a claim, there's a section on that too, with contact information for companies as well as local, state and federal government agencies.

While the Family Caregivers Kit is available online, it requires you to put your name and address on the Internet. Your best bet is to call the FCIC at 1-888-878-3256 and ask for the kit to be sent to you. A representative will know all the parts and pieces that go into it.

If you have a computer and want to read other free publications online, go to publications.usa.gov ... and have fun! You're not limited to the categories listed. Put an interest you have (such as "seniors") in the search box, and see what you get.

Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Send email to [email protected].

10 Mistakes to Avoid When Selling

an offer shortly after listing the home for sale. Where do we go? Know you can find a rental or have your eye on a few places and be ready to make an offer.Repair it. If you can afford to get a new roof put on the house or a new heating system put in do it. From past experience even if you lower your price to reflect the need for a new roof or heating system the buyer will usually offer less or ask for a credit back for the work that needs to be done.Declutter Think of clutter like the game pac-man (I know I am dating myself ), the pac-man thing goes around eating up the dots right? When selling your home the clutter is eating up your equity. Getting rid of clutter is your least expensive albeit time consuming thing you can do to get your home ready. Buyers are looking at your home as their new home; it is hard for them to mentally visualize the placement of their items if your clutter dominates the home. Get rid of it if it isn’t necessary. Pictures Consider this one of my pet peeves. Your home should have many photos available for view. More than 90% of buyers start their home search on the internet. When taking buyers out to look at a home I have heard time and time again that “there were no pictures of this room, it is very nice”. Why weren’t there any pictures? Couldn’t have been the cost of film. Make sure your REALTOR® is showing your home and all its glory. If there is a picture you don’t like or not a good one of a specific room let him/her know. On homes that have few inside pictures buyers assume that there is something wrong and not worth showing. This assumption can cost the seller a good buyer if not the case. Disclose Be upfront and honest about any issues you have run into during your ownership. If the basement floods in heavy periods of rain let the buyer know. It will save you a lot of

Selling on Your Own Do you have the time or knowledge on how to sell your home? Why do it yourself? If the objective is to save some money, the numbers don’t lie; home sellers who try to do it themselves often end up taking longer to sell and sell for far less than homeowners who work with a REALTOR®.Asking Too Much You must know your market and get familiar with comps of similar homes currently for sale and more importantly those that have recently sold. By having your REALTOR® show you what homes have sold for that are comparable will give you a good understanding on what to ask for yours. Asking significantly more than market value will only cause you to drop the price down the line. The most eyes are on your home the first few weeks you place it on the market. Don’t blow that period by asking too much. Let Me In! Every home seller would like plenty of notice before allowing someone in their home. It is especially challenging to sell when you have young children. Occasionally your REALTOR® will call saying that a buyer would like to get in right away. While difficult please do all you can to let that buyer in your home. They may be ready to buy (your REALTOR® can find out how serious they are) and your home may be a perfect fit. Even if the home isn’t perfect try to accommodate the buyer who gave you short notice. You may be happy you did. Also, once the home is under agreement be accommodating to the buyer if they want to come back and take measurements or bring family by to see their soon to be new home. Yes, it is inconvenient but your buyer will be thankful and it will only help make the transaction go smoother. Going Somewhere? When selling make sure you have a place to go when the home sells. I have worked with a number of sellers who panic when they get

money and time, especially if the buyers end up uncovering problems themselves. And chances are good they will.Leave Your Ego Outside – Too many sellers take negotiating personally and lose out on creating a win-win deal. Remember, this is a business transaction – perhaps the biggest one of your life. Take your ego out of the equation and put your head back into it.Listening If you are using an experienced local REALTOR® take advantage of that experience. If he/she tells you to move the couch to another part of the room and to put a coat of paint on the hallway do so. They are looking out for your best interests.

What Are Cold Sores?Brighter Smiles...

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD

exposed to HSV-1. Cold sores appear when

HSV-1 is reactivated later in life. They may occur after a period of illness or stress, poor nutrition or sunlight exposure. Sometimes there's no known reason. Dental procedures that stretch the lip may occasionally trigger the virus.

The border of the lip is the most common place that these sores appear. They may occasionally occur inside the mouth, too. This is more likely in people who have weakened immune systems or other medical problems.

The first sign of a cold sore is a tingling, burning or itching. This is followed by swelling and redness. Within 24 to 48 hours, one or more tiny blisters ("fever blisters") appear. These blisters pop and form painful sores ("cold sores"). The sores eventually are covered by crusts, which look like scabs. The crusts are shed and form again while the sore heals. The entire duration of the sore is usually 7-14 days.

To help to prevent a first herpes infection in children do not let them be kissed by anyone who has cold sores, fever blisters or signs of a first herpes infection. However, HSV-1 is very common. Most children will be infected by the time they reach adulthood. Several different vaccines are being developed against HSV (types 1 and 2), but these appear to protect only people who have never been infected.

Health & Wellness

There is evidence that using sunscreen on your lips will prevent cold sores caused by sun exposure. Antiviral medicines may prevent cold sores from forming. In certain situations, your dentist or physician may prescribe these medicines. If you expect to encounter a known trigger, a medicine taken in advance can decrease the chance of a cold sore.

Cold sores and fever blisters are caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). This virus is passed from person to person by saliva (either directly, or by drinking from the same glass or cup) or by skin contact. Cold sores usually appear as clusters of tiny blisters on the lip. About 8 out of 10 people have the virus that causes cold sores. Most people are first infected before they are 10 years old.

After this first infection, the virus remains dormant (inactive) in the nerves of the face. In some people, the virus becomes active again from time to time. When this happens, cold sores appear. HSV-1 can get active again because of a cold or fever.

HSV-1 can cause serious illness in people who have other health problems. The virus also can cause serious illness in people whose immune systems are weakened by either illness or medicines they are taking.

People infected with HSV-1 for the first time may have fever, headache, nausea and vomiting. They may have painful swelling and open sores in the mouth. Some people have a sore throat. These symptoms usually begin about a week after someone is

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries leadership qualities can help bring order out of all that confusion, whether it's on the job or in the home. But be careful to guide, not goad, others into following you.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Applying a more

personal view to a job-linked issue could help provide better insight into those persistent problems. Use your keen Taurean logic to cut through the double-talk.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking some time off could be the best way to get through that seemingly endless round of demands. You'll return refreshed and ready to tackle things from a new perspective.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Restoring a sagging professional relationship takes a lot of eff ort. By all means, state your position. But also make sure you pay close attention to the other person's point of view.LEO (July 23 to August 22) A hot prospect intrigues the Big Cat, who is always on the prowl for a promising investment. But be careful that this "promise" has a chance of being kept. Check it out more carefully.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A friend could use some of your compassion and concern. If he or she doesn't ask for help, be sure you step up and make the fi rst move. Also, check out a new career possibility.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might have diffi culty getting your

opinions heard because of all the noise being made by the other side. But hang in there. Others should line up with you once they learn the facts.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Off ering to help a colleague is commendable. But before you commit your time and eff ort, check to see if that person's situation is all that he or she has led you to believe it is.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You soon should be seeing positive results from your recent eff orts on behalf of a family member. On another matter, check that you have all the facts regarding a job assignment.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your aspects favor closer family relationships this week. Take time for visits, whether in person, by phone, by mail or in cyberspace. Let them know how important they are to you.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A missed opportunity isn't always a negative. Maybe your instincts are telling you not to rush into something you "thought" was worthwhile. Make time for family this weekend.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your sense of humor helps you get through a tricky situation. But some stick-in-the-muds might not be so willing to make the changes that you and others agree are necessary.BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making everyone you know -- or even just met -- feel important and welcome in your life.
