NEWBURYPORT – Almost every day a woman dropped by the Council of Aging offi ce here and just sat for hours talking with people who came in or those who worked there. Seeing her happily sitting in the offi ce every day prompted Roseann Robillard, the COA director, to suggest to her board that they start a Drop-In program for any senior who wanted to come there as a remedy for being lonely.

“It is our most successful program,” Robillard said. “It is standing room only in there.”

Th e seniors, many of whom have no family nearby, come to talk with others who have not heard their life stories, or at least not since the day before, Robillard jokes.

Th e problem for the successful program has been where to put them. For the fi rst few months the seniors gathered for the Drop In program in a TV room at the

center, but the Salvation Army, which owns the building, needed the room for a youth program.

Th at meant the seniors had to move to other space in the cramped building. Now they meet in a conference room. “It is not ideal,” Robillard said.

But soon, thanks to the voters last week who approved a debt limit override, the seniors will have their own space. And Robillard said her department will end its years of what she calls “a nomadic” existence in providing space for the senior programs.

Th e COA off ers many of its programs in the Salvation Army building, where it leases space for $1,200 a month. But some programs have to go elsewhere. Th e senior exercise programs are held at the Elks Club. Private counseling programs are often in churches, at City Hall and now in Robillard's offi ce.

SALISBURY – Since New England ship captains helped colonized the Hawaiian islands in the late 18th Century, bringing Christianity and Anglo traditions to the polynesian kingdom, it would seem appropriate that the Hawaiians would return the favor by sending to New England – and specifi cally Salisbury Beach – a new sporting craze, called standup paddle boarding.

A cross between surfi ng and kayaking, standup paddle boarding is the newest wave in open ocean recreation. As the name suggests, one stand ups on a paddle board while rowing with a long paddle through ocean waves and currents.

Standup paddle boarding only came to Salisbury Beach about a year ago, when the newly formed,

non-profi t Atlantic Paddle Boarding Association staged its fi rst competitions. Elite racers competed for a $5,000 prize.

On June 30, the association, which is headquartered here, will host its second race series with a double header. Like when the Boston Red Sox are rained out, they play a double header the next day. So too do paddle boarders who were rained out during the fi rst weekend this month.

Th e prize money has quadrupled in a year. Sponsored by REVO Sunglasses, participants in this summer-long, six-race series will compete to win $20,000 in cash and other prizes.

Th e 2012 Atlantic Paddle Battle Race Series will continue at Salisbury Beach on July 14.

Letters to the EditorChange in the Community Response

Dear Editor,

This letter is in response to the Rev. Dr. Bob Gallagher with respect to his disagreement with the Salisbury Beach Citizens for Change.

This group does not, in any way, want to circumvent the State Sanitary Code. We want safe, clean, and well-kept properties and we have been doing that for many years without inspections. What we do object to is the Board of Health (Town of Salisbury) putting us at the mercy of outside inspectors who can subject us to what amounts to a shakedown. After paying $100 per unit for the initial inspection, if one violation is found, no matter how small, the unit must be reinspected for an additional $45 (per unit), every year.

While it is nice to say that we must all adhere to the State Sanitary Code, a 35 page document, a building can be safe and clean without meeting all of the strict requirements of the code, which is especially difficult for an older building. In reality, if a building is older than five years, it probably no longer meets everything in the Sanitary Code. It should be noted, also, that all housing must meet the sanitary code, even single family, owner occupied. When will the BOH start inspecting them?

We feel we do not need outside inspectors to tell us what we need to do to with our properties. The free market will dictate that. If a tenant is aggrieved, he or she can file a complaint with the Board of Health, not renew the lease, or move out. If a property is too bad, no one should rent it.

Most owners of summer rentals open the property in mid-April or May and work on them until the rental season begins in June. Some even begin renting Memorial Day. The property must be “rental ready” for the inspection. This does not leave time between the opening of the building and the first rental for the inspections to be done (and redone).

You say that you have lived in Salisbury for one year. You have no idea what we have been through for the past 30 years. Why do you think the Salisbury Beach Betterment Association was formed? It was not just about planting flowers. The “BOH behavior” that you mention refers to the fact that, when we went to the Board of Health for the public hearing with our concerns, we were virtually ignored. In addition, the Town Manager, Mr. Harrington, called us absentee landlords. In fact, every one who was there is either a town resident or rents out their unit(s) in an owner-occupied cottage.

I would like to know this: Why do you feel the need to tell us what is good for ourselves?

Robillard has long dreamed of having a senior center – much like the one in Salisbury or the new facility in Amesbury – where seniors could come for exercise in the morning, stay for the Drop-In program and have lunch.

Last week the voters came out in droves to say yes to spending money to build a new Bresnahan elementary school, renovate the Nock Middle School and build a new 16,000-square-foot senior center. Almost 45 percent of all voters went to the polls. Funding for the senior/community center passed by a vote of 3,209 to 2,495.

“It was a wonderful shot in the arm,” Robillard said. “It let us know that the community supports and respects the greatest generation.”

Th e voters approved spending $6.5 million on the new senior center, but Robillard said the Friends of the Newburyport

Council on Aging will begin this week to plan raising the money. “Th ey couldn't get into high gear until after the vote,” she said.

Every dollar raised for the new building is one less that the taxpayers have to contribute, she said.

Now they can start talking with the bank foundations and other generous donors about funding the new center. Some will make large enough donations to earn the right to name the building, individual rooms and equipment, she said.

With the new building, which will be completed in about three years, the COA will go from having too little room that is often shared with other groups to space that is too large and can be rented out and shared with other groups.

Th us the building, which will be on the site of the current Bresnahan School off High Street, will be both a senior

center and a community building. It will be large enough for the Greater Newburyport Chamber of Commerce to hold its annual meetings there, rather than having to go to Ipswich. Being next to the new Bresnahan School, it can also host boys and girls scout troops there and other civic and community groups.

Th ere will be parking for about 100 cars.

Sitting in her offi ce at the current center, Robillard also hopes there will be enough money to purchase some new furniture. She uses a folding table as a desk and fi le cabinets acquired at garage sales. Her credenza, laden with papers, is a folding table bought at Sam's Club.

But thanks to the voters, she can now start to plan for the future, when the numbers of seniors are expected to swell, she said.

She can barely contain her excitement. She said, “I am so proud of the voters.”

Th en the races will move to York Beach, ME, on August 4. And the fi nals will be at Salisbury Beach on September 1, the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.

Registration begins at 8 a.m. Elite Races start at 10:15 a.m. Open Recreational and Youth Races follow. SUP Surf contests will also take place on race days following the paddle battle with judges awarding $500 in cash prizes to the best paddle surfers.

Th e Elite Races feature a two-mile, off shore course that challenges competitors’ technical, surfi ng and athletic skills. Both men and women participants will compete with regulation boards at least 12 feet, six inches long, with mono hulls and fi xed rudders. Th e rules allow racers who fall to have fi ve strokes to get back on their feet and stand up. Th e course must be completed while standing and in control of the paddle.

Registration is $200 for all

six races or $40 for individual races. Th e winners of each Elite Division race receive $1,850 in cash prizes and $5,000 to the overall winners.

In the Open Recreational races, participants may use a surfboard, the 12 foot, six inch board, a 14 foot board or an unlimited board. Competitors start the race running from the beach and complete four off shore laps of approximately four miles. Registration costs $100 for all six races or $20 per race. Product prizes and surf shop gift cards are awarded at each race to the top three competitors.

Th e youth races are divided into racers 10 years and under and 11 to 16 years old. Th e youth course consists of one lap of about 200 yards. Registration is $75 for all six races or $15 per race. Prizes are awarded for the top three fi nishers.

Other sponsors include Bud Light, SurfSide5 bar and restaurant, Blue Ocean Music

Hall, Kialoa, Creatures, Teva, h2O Audio, KB Coff ee & Bagels, Standup Journal and Board Living. Board and surf shop sponsors include Cinnamon Rainbows of Hampton, NH; Liquid Dreams Surf Shop of York, ME; Pioneers Board Shop of North Hampton, NH; Summer Sessions of Rye, NH; Surfari Stand Up Paddle & Surf of Manchester, NH and Zapstix Surf Shop of Seabrook, NH.

On June 16th, the 4th Annual Byfi eld Day 5K Road Race will be held in Byfi eld Center, just off exit 55 on Route 95 in Byfi eld, MA. All proceeds from the race will go to building a new stadium at Triton Regional High School. Th is past school year, the Triton Stadium was deemed unusable, and no track meets were held at the site. Triton’s playing fi eld, track, and bleachers were all laid

out and built over 50 years ago. Today meets and games are regularly scheduled at other schools because Triton’s facilities are in such a state of disrepair. Recently, the Triton Education Foundation, Inc. began fundraising to build a new Triton stadium, with the goal of beginning the building in the summer of 2013.

Sponsored by the Greater Boston Running Company of Newburyport, the race has been part of the Byfi eld Days Celebration for four years. Th e race course consists of two scenic loops. For the fi rst time, this year’s race will include a one-mile “Fun Run” for kids. Prizes including gift certifi cates from the Greater Boston Running Company and other area businesses will be given in 6 diff erent age categories, for both male and female runners. Th e course record of 15:32 was set in the inaugural race in 2009.

much sugar can rot a person’s teeth, but scientists at UCLA have discovered evidence that too much soda and candy could also rot a person’s brain.

The study, which was published in the Journal of Physiology, discovered how a diet that is “steadily high” in fructose can slow down the function of the brain, impairing memory and learning ability, the Los Angeles-based university said in a May 15 press release. Those adverse effects, they say, can emerge in as little as six weeks, but can be counteracted to some degree by adding omega-3 fatty acids to one’s diet.

Why Can’t I Grow New Teeth?Prickly pufferfish could hold the

key to why humans do not continually replace their teeth and may lead to advances in dental therapies.

New research focusing on tooth development in the deadly fish—unchanged through evolution—shows that after the first generation of teeth the program for continued tooth replacement modifies to form a distinctive and unusual ‘parrot like’ beak.

The study, which is the first time scientists have analyzed the development of the fish’s unique beak, also supports the idea that evolution doesn’t make jumps, as its’ distinctive bite has been modified from a set of genes responsible for tooth development and

New From Around The Globepreserved over 400 million years.

Arthritis Link To Gum Disease?Research indicates that patients with

rheumatoid arthritis are nearly eight times more likely to have periodontal disease.

May was Arthritis Awareness Month, and the New Jersey Society of Periodontists (NJSP) issued a press release regarding the link between periodontal disease, a chronic inflammatory disease of the gums, and rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints.

“The common denominator here is the inflammatory aspect of both diseases,” explains Dr Scott Zirkin, president of the NJSP. “Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that stimulates an inflammatory response, which in turn imposes a burden on a person’s immune system. Over time, sustained inflammation can lead to the destruction of connective tissue and bone tissue. This destruction affects both teeth and joints.”

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to health-centered family dentistry.

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

Could Fish Oil Help In Treating Gum Disease?

Periodontitis, inflammation of the tissue surrounding the teeth, affects more than half of adults and is linked to an increased risk of stroke and other heart problems. To evaluate whether fish oil supplementation could be an adjunct therapy for periodontitis, Dr Alison Coates from the University of South Australia and colleagues from the School of Dentistry at University of Adelaide in Australia reviewed evidence from eight unique studies that involved humans.

Their review of these studies showed that improvements in clinical measures were common in all studies, but were scientifically significant in two that used a combination of fish oil and aspirin. Although this is not conclusive evidence, intake of fish oil is recommended for health benefits beyond the teeth.

Summer Safety Tipsfor the Homestead

You have waited all year and it's time to relax away from home. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, however, statistics show that July and August are the busiest months for burglars who love your being away almost as much as you do.

There are many ways to avoid becoming a victim of these menacing threats to our homes and lives. Here are some tips from the FBI, The Home Safety Council and this REALTOR® that may serve to keep your homes secure while you enjoy much deserved time away:

Do not leave recorded messages that you are "out of town".Do not leave any key anywhere except in the hand of your REALTOR®, a trusted friend or family member who will bring in your mail and any periodicals or newspapers while you are away.Keep bushes, shrubs and any plantings trimmed under windows so burglars can not hide in them. (If your home is on the market, REALTOR®s don't like hidden burglars at all.)Let your trusted neighbors

know that you will be away and that you are not expecting any visitors so that they may call the police about suspicious activity around your home. (Your REALTOR®, however, is NOT to be carted away)Al doors, windows, garages and sheds should have working locks.Be sure the automatic garage door has been completely closed as you leave.Make one last trip around the home to be sure all sliding glass doors, side doors, bulkheads etc are locked and secured.Store ladders securely away in locked garage or shed so that they can not be used to access the home.Use timers for selected lights or outdoor water sprinklers to make it appear that someone is home.Mow the lawn one last time just before you leave. (Tall grass suggests that the homeowner may be away).Put bright lights over porches and walk ways in front and back yards.Do not leave any toys, tools or equipment in the yard.

Have the time of your good lives this summer and come home to your properties refreshed and happy. For those of you whose homes are on the market, just come home ready to close!

Thinking Of Selling? Don’t You Deserve Service Like This?

.netWebsite: www.KathrynOBrien.com

PRESTIGE

I chose Kathryn due in part to a recommendation from a close

friend and her proposal to me when I was interviewing potential real estate agents. She has lived up to every promise she made and more from what I had heard and expected based on the reference.

Kathryn’s positive “can do” attitude truly made what had promised to be a daunting and emotional experience for me as stress free as possible. She is knowledgeable about Ipswich’s nuances, was available to me at all times and was pro-active in keeping the process moving forward. Her numerous connections provided me with quality and reliable choices in finding the right companies and individuals to help me to navigate thru town and state regulations and prepare my mother’s home for sale.

In this day and age, it is truly unusual to find a person with her expertise who is willing/able to make a client feel like they are the most important client they have.

I enjoyed working with her, would hire her should I decide to purchase property in Massachusetts and would definitely be happy to provide her a glowing reference!

Also, I would not hesitate to be an advocate of hers to a potential client who was looking for a recommendation for an individual to assist them in either purchasing or selling a home/real estate. I really cannot thank her enough for all her efforts and friendship she extended me since we began this journey.

Sincerely, Marcia J. Cowan

Experience the service you deserve. Call Kathryn O’Brien today.
