Triton Seniors Excel in Business Competitions By Stewart Lytle, Reporter –––––––––––––––––

TRITON – Beginning last fall, Frank D'Aloisio expected a lot of good things from two seniors, Madison Estes and Henryk Jankowski, in the competitions against other schools as part of the Distributive Educational Club of America. DECA, an international, curriculum-based program, allows high school students to use skills they have learned in the classrooms in realworld business situations, such as marketing, finance and management. Estes and Jankowski had helped found the club last Photo by Stewart Lytle year at Triton, and they From left, Frank D'Aloisio, Henryk Jankowski, Madison Estes and Monica Hurley.

had exhibited many of the skills needed to be stars in the competitions. D'Aloisio, a business education teacher at Triton for two years, had nurtured the club into existence. He knew he had some rising stars in the club, but Monica Hurley was not one of them. She joined the club this year and became part of the three-student leadership team that brought a lot of success to the Triton club in only its second year. Triton was named the top state DECA chapter out of 5,000 other high school chapters in the growth of Continued on page 2

Hollywood Comes to State Street By Stewart Lytle, Reporter –––––––––––––––––

NEWBURYPORT – Always wanted to look like Jackie O in her trademark sunglasses? Or have you envied the bracelet, necklace and ring Angelina Jole wore on the red carpet? Maybe you need a corset like the one Marlene Dietrich made famous in her 1930s films? These treasures can now be found on State Street here. The jewelry shop, Hot on Hollywood, relocated last week from its off the beaten path next to City Hall to the city's main shopping boulevard. The jewelry story, the brainchild of Brenda MacDonald, who started collecting Jackie O and Marilyn Monroe jewelry replicas years ago, features jewelry that looks almost identical to that won by the world's biggest celebrities at a small fraction of what they paid for it. Across the street from Agave Mexican Brenda MacDonald in her new shop.

Restaurant, Hot on Hollywood has moved into the space, previously occupied by Cool Jewels at 29 State Street. There you can find replicas of the jewelry worn by your favorite actess or role model whether it is Princess Diana, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston or Taylor Swift. No matter whose jewels you admire, MacDonald probably has them or can get them for you. Maybe the most popular is the engagement ring Prince William gave Kate Middleton, which is on sale at Hot in Hollywood for a mere $72. Or you can wear a copy of Oprah's necklace for $479, a lot less than the richest woman in America paid for hers. For just $97, you can wear your own version of the earrings that Modern Family star Sofia Vergara owns. Or you can put Continued on page 3

was getting into. “I didn't fully understand it,” she said. “I have grown to love it.” The club and the competitions have had a great impact on her. “I have changed so much, made so many friends,” she said. “I have gained confidence.” Estes and Jankowski were not short on confidence. When D'Aloisio introduced DECA to Triton, they were among the first to sign up for the program that is both part of the curriculum and part of the 21st Century Program after school. They helped recruit the original seven students who made up the club last year. Estes, who is also the captain of the cross country team, said she took DECA on as a challenge. The club went from the initial seven to 27 students this year. And she expects the membership to hit 40 students by next year. Jankowski, who is also the captain of the tennis team, said he joined DECA because he thought having more business experience would look good on his college

application. His strategy seems to have worked. He is going to Bentley University to study business next year. Jankowski, who also has an afterschool job with the Institution for Savings, competed in a virtual stock market game during the state competitions. He came in 19th out of 1,500 students. That qualified him to go to California for the international competitions, but because of his job and because he does not like to miss school, Jankowski opted not to go on the trip. Estes, who is going to Salem State University next year, and Hurley, who is headed to Assumption College, said they were going even if they had to raise all the money for the trip. “They really beat me up,” D'Aloisio said. The two women raised 50 percent of the trip costs. The balance was funded by the 21st Century program. In California, the two women competed against almost

10,000 other students who also had qualified to compete for international honors and scholarship money. Hurley, who works for Allied Vision Technologies after school, was judged on her abilities to interview for a job well. Estes, a natural marketer, produced a winning presentation for a tire manufacturer. “I closed my deal,” she said proudly. “I thought we did good.” The DECA organization has been around for about 70 years. Its national membership exceeds 200,000 students, many of them in the top 10 percent of their class. It has become an important activity at Triton, D'Aloisio said. “Everyone is realizing this is an important program. Competing is fun.” But his three senior stars believe DECA will never be the same without them. Teasing the teacher the students call “Mr. D,” Estes said, “You are going to miss the three of us next year.”

Description

many Veterans as they prepare to downsize from homes that no longer meet their needs. They have raised their families. They have done their best. It never ceases to amaze me just how grounded and humble they are about their sacrifices that they rarely discuss. I can never begin to imagine what they have seen, heard, felt and smelled throughout history so that I can write about them as I choose. These are the Services of our Armed Forces and they are the most powerful and righteous warriors in the history of mankind. They stand on the wall in the dark so that we may sleep in peace at night. 1. The United States National Guard, born in Jamestown 12/13/1607, formerly known as the “Militia”, they are our country’s oldest fighting force with roots to the Patriots who shaped our way of life. The Army National Guard has participated in every war and conflict the US has ever fought from skirmishes to World Wars. In more recent times, the Guard protects our country from natural disasters and plays a major role in the war on drugs that threaten our very fabric from within. 2. The United States Army, born 6/14/1771 also with roots to the Patriots, the US Army is unstoppable and continues to remind any foe of our country that the price to pay for threatening our way of life is, historically, the loss of theirs. 3. The United States Navy, born 10/13/1775. Above and below the oceans of the world, the USN keeps enemies from our shores by bringing unimaginable warfare to theirs. They are positioned all over the world and they remain ready to turn on a dime to quell any threat to our country. 4. The United States Marine Corps born 11/10/1775, a department of the US Navy, is known throughout the world as the instant and terrifying response to any threat to our country. Specially trained to quickly deploy and conquer enemy territory until the Army arrives, the US Marines are often both the first and the last American warriors an enemy will see coming over the wall toward them. 5. The United States Coast Guard

duty of protecting our shores and they do so both inside and outside of our borders. They are also deployed throughout the world as our “police department” at sea and are heavily involved in the war on drugs. As with the United States Marine Corps, the President can deploy them instantly. USCG’s Medal of Honor recipient Douglas A. Munro’s last words were “Did they get off?” after evacuating pinned down Marines at Guadalcanal. 6. The United States Air Force born 9/18/1947 was formerly known as the US Army Air Corps. The USAF like the US Navy projects its military power all over the world. When our ground troops call in for “air support” the clouds open up and terror rains down upon those who have taken up arms against our country. While there has been so much press and pressure about the condition of our housing market and our economy in the recent years, there has never been a time in our country when Americans failed to find the balance. Every election we have can be viewed not so much within the context of any particular party, but rather as the collective voice of Americans who continue to rise up against any threat to our way of life whether it is from within our borders or from outside of our borders. We rise up in submarines, PT boats, aircraft carriers, Sherman tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, Higgins landing crafts, parachutes, horseback, boots on the ground, scuba gear…………or in the election booths.

By Janet Hilton, Broker, Esq., Country Crossroads It is said “If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in English, thank a Veteran.” My Father served under General George Patton during World War ll and although he died when I was young, I grew up knowing that he saved me from a life without freedom and that he would have given his life to do so.

Research continues to add pieces to the genetic puzzle for periodontal disease almost daily. So, while we all wish we had won the most recent $600 million in Powerball, the most important thing you can do for yourself in reality is to be healthy. It’s like changing the oil in your car – you wouldn’t wait for the car to start smoking to change the oil. Regular maintenance visits with your dentist and physician are essential for good health.

What does your smile say about you? •

1960’s, prevailing wisdom held that all bacteria in the mouth contributed to the development and progression of periodontal (gum) disease. Today, informed dentists can say to patients, “We now know”, reflecting the exponential growth of our understanding of the processes involved in periodontal disease. We now know that a very small proportion of all bacterial species in the mouth can cause periodontal disease. Periodontal pathogens (the bad guys) represent less than 5% of the 700 or so species of bacteria in the oral cavity. It is the patient’s DNA and the body’s response to these pathogens that leads to the progression of periodontal disease. Gingivitis is a term used to describe inflammation in the gums without the destruction of any tissue, including bone, which is what periodontal disease is. Gingivitis is currently accepted and addressed as an early form of periodontal disease. We now know that this is not really true. It is, more accurately, the gateway to periodontal disease. We know this from several sources of evidence. From a clinical standpoint, we know that progression from gingivitis to periodontitis is not automatic, does not occur in every patient, or in every site in the mouth. Evidence from the immune system response reveals that there are different cells that respond to gingivitis versus periodontitis. From a genetic standpoint, periodontal disease

only occurs in genetically susceptible individuals. Disease progression requires the activation of an inflammatory switch. The switch turns on the patient’s DNA, if that patient has the “periodontal gene”. Clinically, we then see the initial immune system response of inflamed gum tissue. Remember, this does not hurt and most people don’t even know it is present. Failure to confine this inflammatory response in the gums results in the progression to periodontal disease in genetically susceptible individuals. Decades ago, the prevailing theories about periodontal disease influenced treatment modalities. Today, our understanding of periodontal disease development and progression has a similar impact on how we treat the disease. We now know that we have to be more aggressive in treatment. Salivary DNA testing and other studies in the relationship between oral health and systemic health will have a profound effect on knowledge, and the manner in which we address periodontal disease, perhaps culminating in a cure.

Local Communities Win Crime Prevention Grant A second round of violence prevention funding has been awarded to the Salisbury Police Department and the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, State Representative Michael A. Costello and State Senator Kathleen O’Connor Ives announced today. The Salisbury Police Department, which collaborated with Newburyport and Amesbury on its application, will receive $63,000 for drug awareness and drug enforcement efforts. The Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center will receive $51,570 for its domestic violence rapid response team. The money was awarded by the Executive Office of Public Safety as part of the federal Edward J. Byrne Memorial Justice Grant program. “This funding will continue to support critical criminal justice initiatives in my communities like drug education and drug enforcement by our local law enforcement officers,” Representative Costello said. “I have been a long-time supporter of Suzanne Dubus and the outstanding work that she and the domestic violence team do at the Crisis Center so I am excited to see support for those programs continue as well,” he added. “I appreciate that the Executive Office of Public Safety has recognized the work of our local police departments to reduce drugrelated crimes by providing this second round of grant funding,” said Senator Ives. “And, this grant funding is critical to the continued successful operation of

the Domestic Violence High Risk Team, a nationally respected model, which addresses and reduces the risk of homicides associated with domestic violence.” “We’re very fortunate in these difficult financial times to be granted this money again. We look forward to working with our other partners in Amesbury and Newburyport to continue to reduce drug use and drug violence,” said Salisbury Police Chief Tom Fowler. The first round of Byrne grants were awarded in February 2012. The Byrne Grant is designed to provide seed money to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on local needs and conditions.

June 12 - 18, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Cheer up, Lamb. Your emotional impasse will lift once you allow your highly tuned sense of justice to guide you on what to do about an associate's questionable behavior. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) News about a project you hoped to work on might need more clarification. Take nothing just on faith. Draw up a list of questions, and insist on each being fully answered. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Giving your time to help others is fine. But don't lose sight of your own needs. Make plans for an energyrestoring getaway with that very special person in your life. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Congratulate yourself on getting that difficult job done to everyone's satisfaction. This could be the first of many such challenges you might be offered down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) With your enthusiasm soaring again, you feel ready to tackle a tough new assignment. Good for you! And remember: Don't be too proud to accept help when it's offered. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Cupid rules the week for single Virgos eager to make a romantic connection. Meanwhile, Virgo couples experience renewed commitment in their relationships. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Home and work issues vie for your attention through early next week. Rely on your Libran sense of balance to keep you from being overwhelmed by either side. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Creative projects might have to go on standby as you tackle other matters making demands on your time and energy. Things should ease by the middle of next week. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your energies are high, and so are your aspirations. But be careful not to let work dominate the week. It's also important to spend time with family and friends. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) It's a good time to set aside your pride and stop nursing those hurt feelings. Instead, consider restoring relationships you want to have back in your life. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might be miffed at not being shown more appreciation for your hard work. But don't brood over it. Recognition comes in its own time and in its own way. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) With your inner creative juices starting to boil and bubble, this is a good time to launch a new artsrelated project, or go back and restart the one you had set aside. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of seeing the best in people, which helps encourage them to live up to your perceptions. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
