ROWLEY – With every seat in its conference room fi lled, the Water Board last week got a double barrel of bad news.

It was told that the town’s water system had major leaks and the condensation at the new $12 million treatment plan is so “horrible” it may cost the ratepayers as much as $400,000 to fi x.

To make matters worse, Superintendent MaryBeth Wiser told the board that during her recent two-week suspension the deadline passed for the town to apply to the State

NEWBURYPORT – Trash can be a lot of fun and useful. Th is Saturday you can see fi rst hand how plastic cleaning bags, old magazines, towels, used bath

robes, beer cans and plastic utensils can be transformed into high fashion, appropriate for a strut down the runway.

It is the fi fth annual Rubbish to Runway Refashion Show at Nicholson Hall, where more than two dozen local women, including Mayor Donna Holaday, don extraordinary creations by fashion designers who transform recycled materials into dresses.

“Th e community has embraced it. People love the event,” said founder Elizabeth Rose. “It is growing in size and interest.”

Holaday, who has walked the runway as a model for the last three years, said after last year’s fashion show, “It is an incredible event that just gets bigger and better each year.” Th e mayor’s designer has created a dress for her this year called “Th e Four Seasons of Maudslay.” Last year’s runway.

Th e SRF fund lent the town the money to build the plant at 2 percent interest.

For several weeks, although it has been a recurring issue for years, the three-member Water Board has been locked in a battle with the Board of Selectmen over which body controls department operations.

Water Board Chairman Tim Toomey has called the relationship

between the water board and the selectmen “adversarial.”

Recently there have been calls for Toomey and fellow board member Stuart Dalzell to resign.

Th e generally hostile crowd of ratepayers and town offi cials who attended the water board meeting last week repeatedly questioned actions taken by the water board, including asking why the minutes for the last two meetings were not ready for approval and public review.

Th e water board members agreed to schedule a meeting with the selectmen in the next two weeks to try to resolve their diff erences.

In an executive session last month, the water board suspended Wiser for two weeks and commissioned an investigation of the water department operations after Wiser began approving the department’s purchases and payroll. She was operating under the authority given her by the selectmen at the end of June. Toomey argued that the selectmen under state law does not have that authority.

Wiser’s suspension was challenged by the selectmen and several residents,

In 2014, more than 200,000 women were diagnosed with an invasive form of breast cancer. It remains the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. However, women don’t have to allow this disease to advance to a late stage before it is detected and treated. Early detection is critical to survival.

In the coming months, Anna Jaques will off er 3D Mammography, the latest and most advanced technology in breast cancer screenings and detection. 3D Mammography is the biggest breakthrough in breast cancer detection in 30 years because it provides clinicians with a level of clarity proven to improve accuracy and reduce call-backs and biopsies.

Letters to the EditorIpswich Informed

Dear Community,

Are you confused about the $2 to $3 million dollar project for the now multi-phase project for the artificial turf field? It is not free. It’s on the warrant needing a two thirds vote. It has been explained that it is coming out of the budget, but whose budget: Town or School? It is going to be bonded but won’t effect the taxes. How does that work?

Where is the money coming from? There are too many loose ends and unanswered questions, grants and phantom fund donations. No documentation. How much is going cost the tax payer if the Town and School has it in their budget?

How? How did it get there? If the override was so crucial, how can it be just five months later they have money?

Who is watching the store? What’s the big push for? Is it because the taxpayers won’t see their new bill until February 2016 — Well after the vote at the Special Town Meeting? Go figure. Buffaloed, I say. In my opinion, this article should be pulled off the warrant.

Magic. And what kind of magic was performed to not go on the ballot? Call or e-mail your [email protected] Ask about recent tax increases: The override, Linebrook Road, School turf, which still has to paid from someone. I’m no math wizard, but it looks an awful lot like $500 +$500 + $500 = $1500 on top of your present tax bill.

It could also help if you go to Selectmen’s meeting and show you want to be included in the decisions of your tax dollars. Like the folks that are crowding the halls of presidential hopefuls to change the system and its broken process. Lack of transparency, full disclosure and oversight.

Mammography Several large studies have

shown that 3D Mammography, also known as Tomosynthesis, detects 41% more invasive breast cancers which is 1-2 more cancers caught per 1,000 tests. It was also shown to reduce the chance that a patient will need to be called back for additional views by up to 15%. This increased accuracy means detecting cancer earlier with fewer false alarms, and fewer biopsies.

3D Mammography produces thin slices of the breast, taking up to 180 pictures of a breast in about the same time it takes 2D to take four pictures. This allows the radiologist to view breast tissue one thin slice at a time, almost like turning pages in a book, which helps them make a more accurate diagnosis.

“Getting a mammogram is an emotional experience, especially in circumstances where more testing is required,” said Peter Hartmann, MD, FACS, Medical Director of the Gerrish Breast Care Center, affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. “With the superior imagery produced by 3D Mammography, this technology creates the opportunity to provide a more detailed and accurate first screening – especially for women with greater breast density – so that women can be spared the need to endure additional testing, including biopsies.”

All patients will be offered 3D mammography for screening and diagnostic exams regardless of age or breast type. Initial screening results are provided within two business days.

Visit ajh.org/breastcare for more information. Women may self-refer for a screening mammogram.

3D Mammography to our Newburyport, Amesbury and Haverhill locations to provide the most advanced mammogram available in the country to the communities we serve,” said Mark Goldstein, President and CEO. “Offering the highest standard of breast care is central to our mission and our role as a community hospital.”

Through the generosity and commitment of Institution for Savings, a $500,000 donation has been given to Anna Jaques toward the purchase of these three machines.

“We are pleased to partner with Anna Jaques Hospital to bring this state-of-the-art breast cancer detection and screening technology to our community,” said Institution for Savings President and CEO Michael J. Jones. “At the Institution for Savings we know all too well the impact that breast cancer can have on individuals and families, as we have had numerous employees and family members affected by this devastating disease in recent years. We are proud to give individuals the opportunity to have this test performed close to home, applaud Anna Jaques for implementing this new technology, and are happy that we could help.”

“We are extremely grateful for this generous gift which enables us to improve the health of our community and ultimately save lives,” continued Mark Goldstein. “The Institution for Savings has been incredibly supportive of the hospital for years. President & CEO Michael Jones and the Bank have once again made a major donation that will make a real difference to women of the Greater Newburyport area.”

Rubbish to Runway Continued from page 1

Th e Rubbish to Runway Refashion raises about $10,000 each year that goes to help build a school in Guatemala.

It is not just any school. Long Way Home also uses trash,

not to make dresses, but to build schools and other buildings. It has built Tecnico Chixot School and Parque Chimiya, a community park in San Juan Comalapa, located in the highlands of west-central Guatemala.

Beginning in 2004, the charity launched a grassroots community development eff ort to bring local residents together to learn about eco-friendly living, sustainable technologies and improved waste management solutions.

Th e park on fi ve acres of rural land has a tree nursery, terraced organic gardens, a regulation grass soccer fi eld, a basketball court and a playground. Th ere is also a house for volunteers and interns, a community kitchen and a pavilion for classes and other community events.

Th e park charges an admission fee of 25 cents, but children get in free if they bring recycled plastic bottles packed with inorganic trash.

Th e response to the trash bottle program has been overwhelming. Th e campaign has reduced municipal litter, taught local families a new waste management solution and created a stream of building materials for Long Way Home’s construction projects. In its fi rst three years, more than 28,000 trash bottles were collected, according to the organization’s web site.

Long Way Home used the bottles, old tires and other trash to build walls, fl oors and a roof.

“America is rich, but Guatemala is rich in ways we are not at all,” said Rose, who served as chairman of the Long Way Home board for fi ve years.

She met the director of Long Way Home several years ago when she and her family were on a “vacation” to Guatemala to teach English. Th ey were invited to watch local men plant grass for the soccer fi eld from plugs of grass taken from elsewhere. Th e Rose family, including her then 16-year-old son who was an avid soccer player, was so fascinated by the grass planting, they returned the next year to see young people playing on the fi eld.

“We fell in love with the community,” she said.

Years later, Rose heard about an exhibit in Lowell where trash was recycled into dresses. Th at was the inspiration for the Rubbish to Runway ReFashion event.

“It benefi ts a lot of people,” Rose said.

Fashion designers and artists get to stretch their creativity in designing the dresses. Th e models, who start as young as 10 years old, are a very diverse group. Th e event employs a trainer for the models in how to walk the runway.

Th is year, the emcee will be actor

and comedian Frank Santorelli, who played Georgie the Bartender in the television show, Th e Sopranos.

Th ere will be a silent auction and attendees can bid on a week in an apartment overlooking the Seine River in Paris.

Th e dresses are also for sale. Th e dresses will be exhibited after the event in the Paula Estey Gallery on Harris Street.

Th e event will be held from 7 to 9 p.m.

Tickets are on sale for $25 stadium seating, $35 for table seating, and $70 for VIP runway side seating.

Tickets can be purchased at www.lwhome.org/r2r, email [email protected] or call 978-807-2492.

who claim the executive session was an illegal meeting, a claim Toomey vehemently denied.

Former water board chairman Scott Martin, who had his own battles with the selectmen during his 12-year tenure, told the current members of the water board that the selectmen are planning to ask the next Town Meeting to abolish the water board. Th at action, if taken, would have to be approved by a town election.

Toomey cut short selectman David Petersen when he tried to read a statement, regarding the executive session. Toomey told Petersen he could make his comments in a letter.

Th e chairman then read his own three-page statement into the record, discussing his views on recent rate hikes, operational issues and the dispute over whether state law gives the water board or the selectmen control over water department operations.

Toomey accused “certain members of the Board of Selectmen” of undermining the authority of the water board. In his opinion, he wrote, that the selectmen have used “smokescreen issues” and created

“unnecessary confl icts” between the water board and Wiser in a “typical divide and conquer tactic.”

At Toomey’s request, the board tabled discussion of a proposed investigation of the department’s operations until the selectmen agree to allow the water board to hire an attorney. In the executive session, which vice chairman John Manning did not attend, the board voted to hire an attorney to launch an investigation. Th e selectmen refused to agree to pay the attorney, so he withdrew.

On the agenda for discussion were 10 items, including department benefi ts and pay, departmental communication problems, personal use of department computers, departmental credit card and personal use of water department property such as vehicles and computers.

Th e town is searching for a laptop computer used by Wiser, which appears to have vanished during her suspension.

A recent leak detection study, the fi rst one conducted since 2012, found more than a dozen leaks in the water system. Th ose leaks lost 32.5 million

gallons of water which, if sold, would have produced $837,000 in revenue. Most of the leaks have now been fi xed, Wiser said.

Th e condensation issue was potentially much worse news.

Board vice chairman John Manning called the problem at the plant “horrible” and “atrocious.” Dalzell said he is concerned about the damage and potential injury to workers if the excess water in the plant gets into the electrical room.

Weston & Sampson, engineers on the water plant, proposed fi xing the condensation issue for $50,000 by installing four temporary dehumidifi ers, a proposal Manning called “a Mickey Mouse solution.”

Tata & Howard, an engineering fi rm out of Marlborough, proposed the $400,000 retrofi t.

Board members and selectman Petersen noted that both estimates were provided free and called on the water board to hire an engineering fi rm to do a formal estimate of the condensation problem.

Th e board agreed and instructed Wiser to draft a request for proposal on fi xing the condensation problem.

“MAUDSLAY IS HAUNTED” A TRUE HALLOWEEN TREAT

It’s time once again for Theater in the Open’s Maudslay is Haunted, our annual celebration of all things spooky. This unique event is a Fall favorite for area residents, and also for Theater in the Open. Maudslay is Haunted is about so much more than taking an eerie afternoon walk through the woods. For many, Maudslay is Haunted is about coming out to participate with Theater in the Open, as an actor or as volunteer staff. Some of the actors seen in this production are volunteering with the Company for the very first time. For others, it’s a family tradition — working with your children to develop an idea, rehearse with the Company, and perform for your friends and neighbors. Maudslay is Haunted is a family event intended for all ages. Gates are open from 2-4PM on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17-18. Rain dates are Oct. 24-25. Admission is $7.00 per person, children 3 and under are admitted free of charge. Please allow time for a brief walk from the main parking lot ($5 parking fee), and follow the Frankenstein signs.

serious allergies or be afraid of pets in the home they wish to see. It is always best to take your pets for a long walk or ride when your home is being shown.

I will not soon forget the demonic feline that greeted buyers and me as we climbed the stairs to the second fl oor. Standing on its back legs with front paws and claws reaching out to do facelifts on everyone, this hissing, growling, guard, cat saved that second fl oor with its beautiful bedrooms and baths from ever being seen or sold.

On another occasion, a two hundred pound Mastiff with the best intentions appeared just as the front door opened. He cocked his head in a curious position and watched as the buyer ran screaming back to the car. Th e seller had assured the Realtor that his beloved buff alo would be behind a gate. He was. He simply walked through it in his excitement to make a new friend.

3. “What should I do about my Christmas Decorations?” By all means, put them up. Christmas decorations are warm and inviting and their very glow suggests a happy home and heart. Th at said, I have a brother Kevin who makes it his mission to get a bigger tree every year. Because we have had many decades together, and based on the fact that his wife and children could barely enter the room last year, his living room walls and ceiling will have to be removed this year.

As I write, he is in the process of accomplishing the engineering marvel necessary to achieve this year’s “Rockefeller Center” goal. Please keep this insanity in my family and not in yours when the goal is to sell the home. Passageways must be kept free and easy to maneuver so that your Realtor need not bring along a buzz saw to show the property.

Th e real estate myth that “no one buys a home during the Holidays” is debunked every time another property is sold between turkey dinners and gift wrapping. Th ese past weeks have been exceptionally busy at the offi ce and based on the most frequent questions sellers and buyers ask, I off er Holiday “Do’s and Don’ts”.

1. “What’s that smell?” Homes have aromas. Some are fresh and new. Some are old and stale. Some harbor animal or smoke odors. Some still have the fi sh dinner from last night hovering when a buyer is due to visit. Th ere are steps a homeowner can take to clean the air but one must not draw attention to the remedy.

If the home is vacant or needs freshening for other reasons, open windows and doors to air the home. During the colder months be sure to time such “airing” so that the home is warm and inviting in time to be shown.

Use air fresheners sparingly and be careful when spraying over solid fl oors to avoid causing slippage. If you use aromatic candles, extinguish them at least twenty minutes before the showing and PUT THEM AWAY. Many buyers understandably assume that lit candles are being used to “hide” odors. A soft, clean scent rather than a strong fragrance should greet the buyer as the door opens.

2. “How about my pets?” I love mine and you love yours but a buyer may not share our devotion to our pets. Th e buyer, in fact, may have

on the market?” Th at depends. If your goal is to sell your home for the most money in the shortest period of time, the answer is to list it now. Th e buyers are buying now. Th e rates remain historically low as does the inventory. Waiting with the hope of “getting more” for your home in the near future is a gamble with the backdrop of an eighteen trillion dollar debt.

Know that having your home on the market can be stressful for you and it requires work to keep it in good showing condition. Minimizing stress during the holidays may meet your needs more so than optimizing the chance for sale during this period.

As for waiting until spring, know that the fall and spring markets have been described as “more active” in the past, but the market changes of the past few years have aff ected all trends to the point where an age old home selling rule emerges; “It only takes one buyer.” If that one buyer does not see your home while you are “waiting to put it on”, he will buy another property on Christmas Eve or in the middle of a January blizzard. He has. She does. He will.

Speak to your Realtor about your thoughts and needs. Make this very important decision about your largest asset with the professional help that is invaluable. Kevin, if you are reading this article, the family Christmas party will be at Jimmy’s house this year where we don’t have to pass the eggnog through tree branches.

It's TimeBrighter Smiles...

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

more becomes counterproductive, as you inevitably have to approach your growing list of commitments at a more superfi cial level. Th e simple truth is that getting more done is not a matter of doing more things; it is a matter of doing the right things with your time. In that sense, the answer is often found in “unhooking” yourself from the low-value time wasters that hold you back from giving your full attention to the things that truly drive your success.

You can’t buy more hours in a day, but you can reclaim time for yourself. You can choose to delegate; you can choose to streamline and purge yourself of recurring nuisances that eat away at your productivity or eff ectiveness of changing something. By purifying your time priorities in this way, you amplify the value of your time and you get more out of life.

So as you put together your list of things you want to change, make sure it includes both the things you want to add to your life as well as the things you don’t want to do anymore.

Be ruthless about it, keeping in mind that this (time) is your most precious resource. Examine each recurring demand on your time and ask yourself if it’s adding value to your life in a tangible way? Is it enhancing your productivity and improving your life? If the answer

is no to both of those questions, the next question becomes obvious: Th en why are you doing this?

Challenge yourself right now to sit down and create your own list of changes you would like to see in yourself. Try to come up with at least fi ve items. Th is is a great way to feel liberated at any time of the year. Th is allows you to clear your mind of clutter and award yourself more time and energy to embrace the really important possibilities.

You can create specifi c lists for diff erent aspects of your life, like your health. Changing your habits takes eff ort and the awareness that you want the change in your life.

Over the next couple of weeks I will introduce you to a patient or two who many of you may be able to relate to. My objective will be to stimulate ideas on how the profession of dentistry, as well as patients, may want to consider changing the way we look at our health, specifi cally dental health.

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to health-centered family dentistry. If there are certain topics you would like to see written about or questions you have please email them to him at [email protected]. You can view all previously written columns at www.jpeterstclairdentistry.com/blog.

Last week I talked about changing behavior. Specifi cally, I discussed change as it relates to teen sleep. Change is often not easy, but is inevitable if we choose to better any part of our lives.

Many of us use New Year’s resolutions to stimulate change. Th ese resolutions are really like a “to-do list” on a larger scale. As with many to-do lists, some of the items on it keep getting pushed down in the ranking of priorities because of the constraints of time. First, we don’t need to wait until New Year’s to work on change. Second, the things we want to change need to start with our attitude. One of my favorite quotes is, “If we change the way we look at things, the things we look at will change.” Once we are in that frame of mind, purifying our time should be the constant we strive to achieve with any change we wish to accomplish.

Many driven people pride themselves on how many tasks and commitments they are able to take on. Eventually, reality catches up and this philosophy of always doing

Puzzles on Page 13

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your moodier side might emerge this week. But the dark period should pass in time for the party-loving Lamb to go on a happy gambol with some very special

people this weekend.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Yet again, you show your skill at being able to indulge in your love of the arts this week while still taking care of practical matters, including some still-unfi nished business matters.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A potential change might appear to be what you’ve been looking for. In any event, consider both the negative as well as the positive possibilities before making any sort of decision.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relationships continue to dominate your aspect this week on a mostly positive level, with just a few problem areas you can smooth over. Also, try to be fl exible about travel plans.LEO (July 23 to August 22) You love being on center stage, and while you absolutely purr at the sound of all that praise, be careful not to take on too many commitments at the expense of time spent with loved ones.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might feel that you need to get involved in a matter concerning a friend or relative. But while the issues appear to be cut and dried, they might not be. Get more facts before you act.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A suggestion about a policy change could create heated reactions. Keep your mind open and resist joining in with naysayers unless they can show a real basis for their position.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) While potential career changes warrant your interest, don’t ignore current job responsibilities. A personal relationship also can benefi t from more of your attention.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Don’t guess at what the facts might be if you hope to make the best decision possible. Th e wise course is to ask direct questions and act on the answers you get.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your eff orts involving that pesky problem should soon show positive signs of being resolved. Th is would allow you to shift some of your focus in another direction.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) While you enjoy well-deserved praise for getting a diffi cult job done, there’s no time to relax. A new challenge looms. Expect more support from a once-strong critic.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might still have explaining to do about your decision, but support grows as you continue to make your case. You also might want to start making plans for the upcoming holidays.BORN THIS WEEK: You insist on making decisions based on facts, not on popular opinions. Have you considered a career in science?
