ROWLEY GRANGE NOTES… June Supper: Oven BBQ Chicken June 26th will be the last Grange supper until fall and will feature oven BBQ chicken, potato salad, bean salad, baked beans, and strawberry shortcake for dessert. There are two seatings: 5 and 6 pm. We also do “to go” dinners. This supper is very popular, so make your reservations by calling 978-948-2635 or 978-948-7288. If you get an answering machine, please leave your name, the number of people in your party and the seating time (or if you want to go dinners). Funds raised through the suppers are used for community service projects and to help pay general hall expenses. Grange News Well, here we are at the end of another Grange year. We’ve had our election of officers and they will be installed in the fall. We’ve made our donations to other organizations, and now we have to fill out the report forms for the State and National Grange on our activities for this 2012-2013 Grange year. Wednesday the 19th we had an “eat out” at the Blue Marlin Restaurant in Essex. We had a great time with a good crowd. This year Rowley Grange, through the Sarah Wallis Peabody Scholarship Fund, awarded 4 scholarships to students planning to attend college in the fall. We congratulate all the graduates, but especially Neil Hanlon, who is a Grange member, and volunteers time for the Grange suppers. Hats off to you Neil!
Rowley Grange helps the community – won’t you join us? Rowley Grange, 29 Central St., P.O. Box 49, Rowley, MA 01969 Hall phone: 978-948-7288
Anniversaries Ahead Next year, Rowley Grange will be celebrating its 120th anniversary. The Town of Rowley will be celebrating its 375th anniversary. Members of Rowley Grange are working with the Town Anniversary Committee and helping with some of the events. Grange Hall Renovation Hopes While the Grange was unable to secure a grant for 2013 to help with renovation expenses, we will try again. The Grange Hall is important, not just to the Rowley Grange, but also to the community. It is the only hall of its size in Rowley that offers a separate dining area, full kitchen, and meeting room. It is handicap accessible with an exterior chair lift, and an interior stair chair. The Grange needs the support of the community and the town to procure and raise the needed funds. Have You Considered Membership in the Grange? Rowley Grange would like to increase its membership. We have a variety of projects and as one member said” there is much work, but few workers.” Grangers have a lot of fun working together and giving back to the community. Our work is not hard, but time is needed. Most active grangers give 4 hours or more a month to attend meetings, committee meetings, or work on projects.

Brighter Smiles...
It’s okay to Be Cheesy
BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD
As stated in a recent media release, there has been little research about how dairy products affect oral health. However, according to a new study published in the May/June 2013 issue of General Dentistry, the peer-reviewed clinical journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), consuming cheese and other dairy products may help protect teeth against cavities. The study sampled 68 subjects ranging in age from 12 to 15, and the authors looked at the dental plaque pH in the subjects’ mouths before and after they consumed cheese, milk, or sugarfree yogurt. A pH level lower than 5.5 puts a person at risk for tooth erosion, which is a process that wears away the enamel (or protective outside layer) of teeth. “The higher the pH level is above 5.5, the lower the chance of developing cavities,” explains Vipul Yadav, MDS, lead author of the study. The subjects were assigned into groups randomly. Researchers instructed the first group to eat cheddar cheese, the second group to drink milk, and the third group to eat sugar-free yogurt. Each group consumed their product for three minutes and then swished with water. Researchers measured the pH level of each subject’s mouth at 10, 20, and 30 minutes after consumption. According to the AGD release, the groups who consumed milk
and sugar-free yogurt experienced no changes in the pH levels in their mouths. Subjects who ate cheese, however, showed a rapid increase in pH levels at each time interval, suggesting that cheese has anti-cavity properties. The study indicated that the rising pH levels from eating cheese may have occurred due to increased saliva production (the mouth’s natural way to maintain a baseline acidity level), which could be caused by the action of chewing. Additionally, various compounds found in cheese may adhere to tooth enamel and help further protect teeth from acid. “It looks like dairy does the mouth good,” says AGD spokesperson Seung-Hee Rhee, DDS, FAGD. “Not only are dairy products a healthy alternative to carb- or sugar-filled snacks, they also may be considered as a preventive measure against cavities.” Cavities are caused by a bacterial imbalance on the teeth. This imbalance occurs based on each individual’s oral environment, dietary habits, and hygiene habits. By understanding what causes an imbalance in the oral environment, and by making adjustments, the bacterial imbalance can be controlled and a person’s cavity rate can be either reduced or eliminated. Unfortunately, there is no “silver bullet”, “magic pill”, “guarantee”, or “vaccine” for dental decay. Dental cavities are a multifactorial, multi-pathogen bacterial disease. While brushing your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste is obviously good, controlling this disease goes way beyond a patient saying. “But I brush my teeth 4-5 times a day”. Talk to your dentist about your
risk factors, including the pH of your mouth. Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered family dentistry. If there are certain topics you would like to see written about or questions you have please email them to him at jpstclair@dentalhealthforlife. com.

June 6 - July , 013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Count to 10 if you must, but don't lose your temper, despite that person's (you know who!) efforts to goad you into reacting. Your restraint will pay off in a big way. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This week finds you in a sociable mood, ready and eager to enjoy the company of family and friends. It's also a good time to seek out and renew old friendships. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Patience is called for as you await a decision about that project you're eager to launch. Meanwhile, try to set aside more time to share with that special person in your life. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid becoming involved in a workplace dispute early in the week by insisting both sides submit their stands to a neutral arbitrator. Things begin to cool off by Thursday. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It promises to be a busy but productive week for the Big Cat. The pace slows by Friday, allowing you to catch up on matters you put aside but that now need your attention. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A suddenly disruptive family situation is best handled with a cool, calm and collected response. Wait until things settle to let off all that pent-up emotional steam. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your practical side dominates the week as you reassess your finances to make some sensible adjustments in what you plan to spend and what you expect to save. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected meeting with a former colleague opens some interesting possibilities. But you need to press for full disclosure before making a decision. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A recent flurry of activity eases by midweek, giving you time to readjust your disrupted schedule and make new plans for a weekend getaway. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You're usually the one who gives advice. But now it's time to open yourself up to counsel from friends who have your best interests at heart. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might find resistance to your call for a full inquiry into a workplace problem. But by week's end even the most rigid naysayers begin to come around. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A recurring problem surfaces once again. Maybe it's time you used your creative talents to help you find a new approach to resolving it once and for all. BORN THIS WEEK: You are guided in what you do both by your intelligence and your emotions. An acting career would suit you quite well. (c) 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
