Build a Fairy/Gnome House REGIONAL – Legend has it that if you build a fairy or gnome home, one of the mythical creatures might come to live in it. The Newbury and Salisbury Elementary Schools parent teacher associations want to test the validity of that legend with the first Fairy Gnome Discovery Walk next month. The idea was born when Jennifer Roketenetz, president of the Salisbury Elementary School PTA, took her pre-school daughter to see the fairy/gnome homes at a Portsmouth, NH, event last summer. The child was certain that Continued on page 3

ROWLEY – If the Town Meeting next month votes in favor of allowing more flea markets and antique shops on Rte 1A, Nate Comley plans to apply for a town license and open a flea market on his seven acres across

the highway from the popular Todd Farm Flea Market. The Rowley Planning Board voted unanimously last week to recommend to the Town Meeting that it approve the new overlay district on 65 acres

of mostly homes and open land. Comley told the planning board, which drew a full house of about 20 residents for its meeting, that he opened his property as a car park for visitors and vendors coming to the Todd Farm flea market and “have met a lot of nice people” who have an interest in selling their wares on his land. He asked the board to allow him to expand the use of the land to more than just charging a fee for cars to park. Holding flea markets on Sunday would allow him to earn money from his land, and “Then I can pay my taxes,” he said. Comley said the flea markets are “good family events” and “will make good use of the land. It is a good fit.” He said, “this is nothing but good for the town.” Continued on page 3

IPSWICH - The Trustees of Reservations (The Trustees), the nation’s first regional land trust and one of Massachusetts’ largest conservation and preservation nonprofits, has named Peter Pinciaro to the new position of General Manager at The Crane Estate in Ipswich. A 34-year veteran with the organization, Pinciaro started his Trustees tenure in 1977 as a seasonal volunteer at the Crane Wildlife Refuge, part of the Crane Estate, and has been a valued leader and contributor to the organization’s mission and growth ever since. The Crane Estate is one of The Trustees’ signature properties, encompassing 2,000 acres of significant natural and designed landscapes including the Great House at Castle Hill, Crane Beach and Crane Wildlife Refuge, and The Inn at Castle Hill. The expansive property welcomes more than 250,000 locals, members, and visitors each year who come to enjoy house and landscape tours, beach days, seasonal signature and private events, summer picnic concerts series, SummerQuest camp, overnights at the Inn, and more. The General Manager position has been established by The Trustees at four signature properties, including The Crane Estate, to help create a holistic, strategic, and multi-disciplinary approach to leading, operating, caring for, and promoting some of Massachusetts most popular and iconic destinations. In his new role as General Manager, Pinciaro will oversee all aspects of the Crane Estate, which includes leading 12 yearround and more than 150 part-time and seasonal staff in the ongoing care and management of the diverse landscapes and building complexes located on the property, as well as the hundreds of yearround public program offerings. The North Shore’s “From staffing and scheduling, to safety and stewardship, the Crane Estate

requires meticulous care and attention to detail, a passion for working with the public, community investment, and creativity and inspiration for growth and success,” says Terry Cook, Trustees Northeast Regional Director. “Peter brings all of this, and more, to his work. We are thrilled to have him at the helm as we work to expand public access and engagement programs at The Crane Estate while maintaining stellar stewardship and leadership.” “The Crane Estate has been a homeaway-from-home during my tenure with The Trustees,” adds Pinciaro. “It is one of the most culturally and naturally significant properties on the East Coast. I am excited to return my focus to this dynamic and complex property as we move forward with ambitious goals of engaging a broader audience and enhancing the overall visitor experience here.” Most recently Pinciaro served as The Trustees’ Northeast Region Deputy Director, concentrating his expertise on two flagship Ipswich properties, The Crane Estate and Appleton Farms. During Pinciaro’s career in Ipswich, he has worked effectively and collaboratively with town boards, departmental staff, school department teachers and administrators, and a myriad community groups. He has served as a member of the Ipswich Historical Society Board of Directors, the town’s Coastal Pollution Control Committee, the Strawberry Hill Advisory Committee, the Sandy Point State Reservation Advisory Committee, and is currently on the Board of Directors at the Ipswich Family YMCA.

Nate Conley Planning Another Rowley Flea Market

Continued from page 1

Initially last month the board rejected a proposal to change the zoning of the 65 acres that includes a portion of Todd Farm to allow any approved commercial purpose. Todd Farm was not at issue because it has been operating as a flea market since before the town started zoning land. The planning board liked much better a second proposal that originated in the Zoning Review Commission to allow only flea markets and antique shops on the 65 acres. The proposed overlay would affect the properties owned by 13 different owners and allow flea markets and antique shops on those properties, including Comley’s. The Town Meeting must approve the proposed overlay district by a two-thirds vote. If the minimum required number of Town Meeting members of 100 residents show up for the meeting, the proposal would

have to win 75 votes, planning board chairman Curtis Bryant explained. Opponents questioned whether it will add to traffic congestion on Sundays in warm weather when the flea markets operate. Comley disagreed that opening his property to a flea market would increase the traffic beyond its current levels. He said the cars of visitors to Todd Farm were already parking on his property. His option was to tow the cars off his property or charge them to park. Sarah Tracy, a neighbor, whose home is included in the 65 acres, said the proposed overlay “has the potential to change the character of the town.” She said there is a potential to have “a lot of junk on the Scenic Byway.” When Bryant said she needed to recognize that on Rte. 1A “there is a thriving collection of antique businesses that Rowley is known for,” she said, “More is not necessarily

a fairy was in one of the homes looking back at her. “It was childhood magic,” Roketenetz said. So she decided that the two PTAs, working together, would create a fairy/gnome home building event here at one of her favorite places, the enchanted grounds of Pettengill Farm on Ferry Road in Salisbury. The farm, which hosts its own Vintage Bizarre each year, was ideal for the fairy/gnome home building. “The grounds are so beautiful. The people are so nice,” Roketenetz said. The PTAs are inviting children and adults to build their own gnome or fairy home for the event, which will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 16th at Pettengill Farm. The rain or snow date is the May 17th. “We are excited about this event and hope that you will join and support us by creating your very own fairy or gnome home to display at our walk. This community event is a wonderful opportunity for your group or business to get creative and show just how magical you are,” the event invitation reads. Fairy/gnome homes are being built in classrooms, like the second grade at Salisbury Elementary, as part of its study of natural science. The River Valley Charter School in Newburyport is building one. And families are signing up to enter their small home construction projects in hopes that a fairy or gnome will come to live in it. There is no fee for families and individuals to enter their gnome or fairy home construction. For

Build a Fairy/Gnome House businesses, there is a $50 fee. Tickets for the whole family are $15. Event proceeds benefit the PTAs. According to Tracy Kane, the author and illustrator of the Fairy House book series, “the simple challenge of creating a fairy house gives children a unique activity that encourages them to go outside and connect with the natural world, nurturing care and respect for the environment.” The event will be held along paths in the farm’s woods, where children and adults can discover homes built out of tree trunks and other natural products that would attract fairies or the dwarf-like gnomes, who live underground guarding their treasure. The event, which Roketenetz described as “whimsical,” will feature music, provided by a pair of volunteer fathers. Librarians will read fairy tales to children as they sit on blankets. The farm will have its bubble machine. There will be yoga instruction and healthy food snacks. In addition to the fairy/gnome homes, some creative types are decorating small doors. A few of these doors are on display in advance of the event at the Salisbury and Amesbury libraries, at the schools and at some corporate sponsors, including the Newburyport Lighting Co., the Fun Way Learning Center, Harmony Natural Learning Center and Sweet Princess Boutique. If you are thinking for building your own fairy/gnome home, the event organizers suggest using mostly natural materials – feathers, dry grasses, leaves, sticks, pebbles, shells, bark from a fallen tree, milkweed, moss, nuts, pods, acorns, berries,

stains. 6. Sanitize children’s and pets’ toys: Toys can carry harmful bacteria on their surfaces. After cleaning toys with warm water and a mild detergent, sanitize plastic toys by soaking them in a solution of equal parts vinegar and water. Donate or discard toys where needed. 7. Breathe easy: Clean your air vents and change your furnace filters if necessary. 8. Let in more light: Cleaning blinds can seem like a daunting task but it doesn’t have to be. Mix equal parts of warm water and distilled white vinegar in a bowl. Slip a sock on your hand and dip the sock into the water and vinegar mixture. Wipe down each individual slat and rinse sock after every few slats. 9. Dust from high to low: Dust the ceiling, corners of walls, ceiling fan and light fixtures. Use a lint roller to easily clean dust off your lampshade. 10. Wash your windows: After the direct sunlight has subsided, remove your window’s screens and dust with a soft-bristle brush. Spray on your favorite window cleaning solution and wipe down with a lint-free cloth.

CHILD ENRICHMENT ENRICHMENT TOPIC OF THE WEEK:

Make It The Best Summer Ever!!!

Responding to Life with Art

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is also beauty and poetry.” Maria Montessori Visual expression gives shape to the unseen in us and is a part of processing mysterious human experiences which go beyond rational understanding. At NSMS, we believe that the creative arts are integral to the assimilation of other areas of study and should be readily available in the classroom. In addition to the Written By: beauty of the Montessori materials, we offer a Marika Whitaker three components to our Visual Art Program: context (art history), techniques (skills), and expression (creativity). To develop a language for engaging with visual culture, it is vital to model interactions and facilitate discussions around works of art, approaching a work with wonder and curiosity, rather than immediate judgment. At NSMS, we look at works of art in the historical context of what the artist was trying to achieve, we explore and practice the technical processes employed in a work of art, and we respond by making our own works. Sometimes this response is a proposed project, sometimes it is an open response to the work being studied. The important thing is to respond. It doesn’t mean we have to “like” everything we see, but responding critically and creatively lays the foundation for students to engage with their own visual language and creative cycle as they move through their lives. Marika Whitaker teaches art and music at North Shore Montessori School in Rowley, MA.

Great Location

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD

Dentistry has nine recognized specialties, and cosmetic dentistry is not one of them. There are plenty of general dentists who love doing, and are good at doing cosmetic dental work. There are some who even limit their practices to esthetic cases. However, a dentist cannot officially be designated as a “cosmetic dentist” or “cosmetic specialist.” The nine recognized specialties in dentistry are: Public Health Dentistry – this field of dentistry is involved in the assessment of dental health needs and improving the dental health of a specific population of patients. Endodontics – this dentist, an endodontist, deals only with the inside of a tooth, the tooth pulp, and the tissues surrounding the tooth. They perform root canal treatments and other procedures only dealing with this specific area. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery – these dentists treat a wide spectrum of disease, injuries and

defects in the head, neck, face and jaws. Oral surgeons remove teeth, treat oral cancers and other oral diseases, place dental implants and some treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems. Orthodontics – this area focuses on the straightening of teeth and modification of midface and lower jaw growth. This is the “braces” dentist. Prosthodontics – this specialty deals with replacing missing or defective teeth using crowns, bridges, implants and removable appliances. Pediatric Dentistry – specializes in treating dental diseases in children and adolescents. Periodontics – the periodontist specializes in treating the supporting tissues of the teeth such as the gums and bone that surrounds teeth. Many periodontists also place dental implants. Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology – this group specializes in the diagnosis of less common dental and head and neck diseases. They work closely with the surgeons. General dentists are allowed to perform procedures within any of the specialties, if they choose to. This includes dental implants, which is also not a recognized specialty.

So, if your dentist recommends treatment in any of these specialized areas, including cosmetics, how do you know if your dentist is the one to do the work or if you should see a “specialist”? The best way to know is to have a conversation about it. Most dentists who are passionate about their work take photographs of their work and also take a lot of continuing education classes to stay up on the rapid advancement in techniques. Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just limited to super expensive fancy stuff. Orthodontics and whitening can give a really dramatic result without any “drilling.” Replacing stained fillings or replacing aging, dark silver fillings can lighten the color of your smile too. Also, most people don’t really think of dentures as “cosmetic dentistry”, but a wellmade custom denture can make a huge cosmetic difference as well. Your smile is worth it!! Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered family dentistry.

Plan Now for Your Big Move this Summer • Sports • Sports The big move - it should be Sports in of packing tape and bold close at hand. For a complete

all-caps and announced with a deep, authoritative voice. THE BIG MOVE. And it’s coming to your family soon. It might be from one house to another across town, or it might involve crossing many state lines. No matter the distance, amount of belongings or number of people, your big move is going to be a big deal. There are ways to plan for your move so the big event doesn’t overwhelm you. Here are five moving tips from Penske Truck Rental, which has been helping customers complete their big moves for more than 40 years. 1. Less is better - The less you have to move, the easier your move will be on your body and your wallet. It will also be easier to fit everything into your new house. While packing, create three piles. The first is your “must-go” pile. The second is your “mustsell” pile, which includes anything you haven’t used in the last year, anything you have multiples of and anything you just don’t want any more. The third is the “must-throw” pile, and it contains anything that can’t be sold at a garage sale or donated. Start creating these piles now, and it will make moving day much easier. 2. Stock up on supplies - Big boxes might seem like a great idea because they can hold so much stuff, but what happens when you try to lift one and carry it down a flight of steps? Stock up on boxes of multiple sizes, but keep in mind that smaller is much easier to carry. Also stock up on foam and bubble wrap to protect your fragile items, a good supply

markers for labeling boxes. You’ll also want to have moving blankets and hand trucks to make it easier to transport your items. 3. Rent a truck - One trip makes the big move simple, even if you’re just moving across town. Penske Truck Rental guarantees a truck for every reservation. Most movers find the 12- or 16-foot truck perfect for moving a few large items or the contents of a small condo or apartment. For guidance with larger moves or with your truck selection, visit www.PenskeTruckRental. com. 4. Pack smart - Load the heaviest items on the truck first. When you’ve got a sturdy base of the heaviest items, you can start stacking on top. This is when it’s handy to list a box’s contents on its side. If you have friends and family helping, they’ll know not to set books on top of your china. 5. Safety and security - Trucks are taller, wider, heavier and require more stopping distance than the vehicle you are used to driving. Take extra precaution, especially when the truck is loaded. Watch out for low-hanging tree branches and building overhangs, and use extra caution when cornering. To protect your belongings, park in well-lit areas and padlock the rear door. To make sure you’ve got everything you need on moving day, create a travel bag for keeping important paperwork, credit cards, identification, a change of clothes, drinks and snacks

list of moving tips, visit www.PenskeTruckRental. com. As you cross days off on the calendar and the big day approaches, these tips will help you sail through the event with few conflicts. Before you know it, you’ll be settled in your new home.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your instincts are usually on the mark, so if you feel uneasy about being asked for advice on a certain matter, it’s probably a good idea that you opt not to comply with the request. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might have two minds about a proposed change (which often happens with the Twins), but once all the facts are in, you’ll be able to make a definitive decision. Good luck. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Crab’s frugal aspect dominates, so while you might be reluctant to pay for technical repairs, the time you save in getting things back on track could be well worth the expense. LEO (July 23 to August 22) While you Leos and Leonas continue to concentrate on doing well in your work-related ventures this week, consider reserving the weekend for sharing good times with family and friends. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good week to take stock of the important personal, professional or familial relationships in your life and see where you might need to do some intense shoring up. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your sense of justice makes you the likely

person to help deal with a work- or family-related grievance. But you need to have any doubts about anyone’s true agenda resolved first. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The Scorpio passion for getting things done right and on time might rankle some folks. Never mind them. Others will be impressed, and they’re the ones you want in your corner. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Finances could be a mite tight this week. And, while things will ease up soon enough, you savvy Sagittarians will want to keep a prudent eye on your expenses at this time. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although a technical malfunction could cause a temporary delay in getting things up and running, you could use the time to recheck your operation and make changes where necessary. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might find it difficult to resist making a snap judgment about a colleague’s behavior. But stick with your usual way of assessing situations and wait for the facts to come out. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Asking for help with a family situation might be the wisest course to take right now. Just be sure you turn to someone you can trust to do and say the right thing for the right reasons. BORN THIS WEEK: People see in you a born leader whom they can follow and put their trust in.
