Terry Beecroft, this year's event chair after volunteering for the last 11 Relays, said she expects this year's event to be even more exciting and attract more participants than in previous years. “We are very excited,” she said. So far, according to the event web site, relayforlife.org/ AmesburyMA, 21 teams with 98 participants have signed up for the Relay. To date, the event has raised $15,185.87 with more than a month to go. At the event there will be more opportunities to join in the fundraising. There will be raﬄes. And one of the most popular activities is the chance to have a friend or family member arrested and placed in temporary jail. Donate money to gain their release. The first Relay for Life was held in Tacoma, WA, in May 1985. Dr. Gordy Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track, ultimately raising $27,000 to help the American Cancer

Society fight cancer. A year later, 340 supporters joined Klatt in the overnight event. Since those first steps, the Relay For Life movement has grown into a worldwide fundraising activity, bringing in almost $5 billion to fight cancer. During the event, there will be a Fight Back Ceremony which encourages participants to commit emotionally to fight against cancer. “The action taken represents what we are willing to do for ourselves, for our loved ones, and for our community to fight cancer year-round and to commit to saving lives,” the web site states. At the luuminaria ceremony, white bags are lit with a candle and personalized with a name, photo, message or drawing in memory or honor of a friend or loved one who has been affected by cancer. Luuminaria can also be dedicated in support of a Relay participant. Each luuminaria candle represents a person. Mike Fawcett and his wife,

At the event, the tickets are $150 for adults. Tickets can be purchased at the website, www. thekerryandsullyfund.com. Francis Broadbery, an organizer and co-owner of the Plum Island Grille, praised the community for its support. “The entire community is helping, from dog walking to cooking them food, running errands, minding kids, legal help,

and with the fundraiser. It is a community event, with everyone offering their help, it really has blown my mind how quickly this community got organized and stepped up to the plate when needed,” he said. Approximately $20,000 has been raised in donations and event ticket sales with hopes that the organizers can double that this week. Both victims are recovering physically. One, who had both ankles crushed, is now out of her casts and walking in two hard boots, which allows her to move around her house better. The other victim is recovering from blows to her jaw. Both women face an even tougher road recovering emotionally. Broadbery said they have good days and bad. One victim does not feel very safe in her home. “That will be a long road to recover from,” he said. One victim may be back at work within a few weeks. The other will be out for the summer, a time when both woman earn the majority of their annual income. Police Chief Michael Reilly recently emailed Michael Paige, the attorney for the two women, saying no arrests have been made in the case. Reilly said no one has been arraigned or been issued a summons, according to Paige.

Do you have a classic car that you love, and want to show off? Plan ahead to join the North Shore Old Car Club and Amesbury Mayor Key Gray for the First Annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cars and â&#x20AC;˘ The event will celebrate Amesburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carriagesâ&#x20AC;? car show, which will be held in downtown Amesbury on July 19th. history as a manufacturing center for carriages and early automobiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only were we the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest manufacturer of carriages,â&#x20AC;? Gray said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but as the world moved to automobiles, Amesbury played a prominent role in that transition.â&#x20AC;? Right now, event organizers are lookingâ&#x20AC;˘ for cars to be exhibited. â&#x20AC;˘Any car more than 25 years old is eligible, but cars made in 1930 or earlier will be particularly welcomed. Already expected in the show: 1908 and 1913 electric cars and several horse-drawn carriages, all built in Amesbury. The show will also include tours of LeBaron Bonney, an Amesbury business that provides restoration kits, upholstery, parts and accessories for antique and custom cars. The building was originally part of the Biddle and Smart Company plant, where carriages were manufactured from 1870 through the early 1900's. As the automotive industry took off, the factory was converted to building auto bodies. Now, from that same building, LeBaron Bonney produces materials to restore antique cars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including cars that were originally built there. If you are interested in displaying your antique car at the show, please contact David Costello at 978-335-8739. A $10 donation to benefit the Amesbury Carriage Museum will be requested. The show will be held Saturday, July 19th, rain or shine, on Chestnut Street in Amesbury. Free spectator admission and parking. -----------------------------------------------------------HAMPTON, NH - The 5th Annual Hampton Beach Comedy Festival kicks off with a superb lineup of standup comedians from Boston and New England on July 24-25 at Ashworth by the Sea, the landmark hotel on Ocean Boulevard. Highlights of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event include the last local public performance of the year from Jimmy Dunn, who leaves for Los Angeles to shoot the CBS sitcom The McCarthys in August. Tickets are on sale now at the Ashworth by the Sea, on-line at Eventbrite.com/e/Hampton-beach-comedy-festival or at the door on show night if space allows. For more information, go to scampscomedy.com or hamptonbeachcomedy.com. Dunn, who lives in Hampton, founded the festival five years ago as a way to break up the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a fun way for me to invite guys up for a visit, and to get out and see folks that I usually see on the beach or around town,â&#x20AC;? said Dunn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was doing a lot of travelling then. This year, with the sitcom (which will air on Thursday nights at 9:30 beginning Oct. 30), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to catch up with folks before I go to Hollywood.â&#x20AC;? Comedians from previous festivals have gone on to write or perform comedy on national network shows such as The Tonight Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Comedy Central. But career success was secondary to the ability to make audiences laugh. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of comics includes some old favorites and new favorites. The first night lineup features Paul Gilligan, Dave Rattigan, Chris Pennie, Mac Livingston, Will Noonan, and Hampton's Josh Day. For the July 25 finale, Dunn will be joined by Lamont Price, Katie Grady, Jeff Koen, Abhishek Shah, and Jesse Bickford, another seacoast native who currently lives in Dover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmy just picks guys that he likes, and that he wants his friends and neighbors from Hampton to see,â&#x20AC;? said Rattigan, a comedian who has performed in three previous festivals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bonus used to be that if you were on the same night he was on, you could stop at his house before the gig and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d cook you a steak. If you were on a night that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go to the beach and get a slice and some fried dough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unlike other festivals, the focus is really just on having fun and enjoying comedy,â&#x20AC;? Rattigan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no contests, and no entry fee, no actors that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready for standup showcases or guys who are only in high-profile spots because their agent placed them there. These are funny guys who are picked to be here because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re funny, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to enjoy the show. You see comics hanging out with the people before and afterwards, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just very loose, and very fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited to be doing this,â&#x20AC;? said Bickford, a southern

Real Estate • For Sale The Greatest Anniversary Festival

• Sports • Sports Sports all still “contributing” our ideas and critical care RN who with as we live in freedom under our precious Constitution. Some of our “ideas”, however, would have caused the Founding Fathers’ wigs to curl. Centuries ago, there existed the “Debtors’ Prison” where those who could not pay their debts were sentenced. Not only was the debtor sent to jail, but he had to pay to be incarcerated. Imagine what our Founding Fathers would say about the “idea” that our lending institutions developed to create the tremendous debt under which so many still smother today. During the housing and credit crisis of the past recent years, Americans did not end up in Debtors’ Prison. They ended up in homes they could never afford and those lenders should now be in “Lenders’ Prison”. Housing experts say that the health of the housing market is directly tied to three factors: affordability, interest rates and employment. They note that there are “positive elements” in the 1st two factors, but that unemployment continues to be the fly in the soup. Presently the inventory of available homes for sale is low and that supply and demand factor is causing home prices to increase albeit slowly. We will recover and we will learn from our mistakes. Over two centuries ago on July 4th 1777, John Adams went out for a walk at night “for a little fresh air and exercise”. On the first anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he was stopped in his tracks. All around him he saw the “whole city lighting up their candles in the windows.” Although the new Americans lacked the technological means to communicate their universal joy, it nonetheless abounded through out every home on every street in all the states of the union. We Americans will continue to light the candles that illuminate the purest way of life the world has ever known. It is precious. It is worth the struggle. It will always be a cause for immense celebration. Broker/REALTOR® Janet Hilton is a former practicing attorney

It is a little known fact that the American colonies separated legally from Great Britain on July 2, 1776 and not on July 4th. It took two days for the Second Continental Congress to approve the Declaration of Independence during the American Revolution, hence our National Celebration “The 4th of July”. In his letter dated July 3rd, 1776, John Adams, referring to the birth of our new nation, wrote to his wife Abigail “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the greatest anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward and forever more”. Our superb experiment The United States of America is like none other in the history of mankind. Above all else, we have kept our promise to each other and to the world that we will preserve, protect and defend the basic right to live free from tyranny of any kind anywhere. When we celebrate the history of our country, we remind the whole world that the right to live in freedom when threatened is worth any war that has ever been fought however dreadful the reality of the fight. The beacon of hope for which our Country stands continues to draw the world to our borders. As long as our collective view of the world remains steadfastly rooted in the spirit of the United States Constitution, we will right any wrong and overcome any challenge to our way of life. If the Founding Fathers were observing the debates taking place between and among our political parties, economists and industries today, I suspect they might find that the more things change, the more things stay the same.

Institution for Savings Donates $150,000 to Newburyport Public Schools NEWBURYPORT – The Institution for Savings has made a significant $150,000 donation to the Newburyport Public Schools through the Newburyport Education Foundation (NEF), announced NEF President Jay Iannini. In recognition of the gift, the Bank will receive naming rights to the gymnasium and performing arts center at the new Francis T. Bresnahan Elementary school and the media center at the renovated Rupert A. Nock Middle School/Molin Upper Elementary School. “Our vision at the Institution for Savings is to have a positive impact on our communities,” said Institution for Savings President and CEO Michael J. Jones. “I can think of few better ways to do that then to enhance the educational opportunities and facilities for our children. We are extremely pleased to continue our long-time support of the NEF and the Newburyport The Town Common Courtesy Photo Public Schools with this donation.” The Institution for Savings’ gift is part of the NEF’s campaign to offer Institution for Savings President and CEO Michael J. Jones tours the new Institution for naming opportunities at the new Bresnahan School as a way to recognize Savings Gymnasium & Performing Arts Center donors for their support. The Bresnahan School has already been named by in the new Francis T. Bresnahan Elementary the city to honor former Superintendent Francis Bresnahan, but the School School scheduled to open in the Fall. Pictured Committee has authorized the NEF, in concert with the Superintendent, to L-R: Jay Iannini, NEF President, Susan L. name rooms at the new school through the NEF “Make Your Mark” program. Viccaro, Superintendent of Schools, Jones, and Over the last 10 years, naming tributes at the high school and middle schools Chris Skiba, NEF Board Member. have recognized businesses, alumni, and community members. The new school will open at the start of school this fall. This latest donation is one of several significant bequeaths that the Institution for Savings has made to the Newburyport Public Schools in recent years. In 2005, it made a landmark $600,000 donation to the NEF to renovate the Nock Middle School science labs and fund an ongoing science speaker series. Two years ago, the Bank donated $100,000 for a new Media Center at Newburyport High School. And last year, the Bank pledged $500,000 to a new synthetic turf field at World War Memorial Stadium, in addition to an earlier $100,000 grant to restore the stadium’s home stands. “The Institution for Savings is a founding member of the NEF and an unwavering supporter of public education, “said Iannini. “This donation is so significant--it helps us close out our current campaign to renovate the RAN auditorium, and gets us started on several new initiatives to be announced this fall. Plus, it means the middle school library will get the same kind of transformative funding as the high school and the new Bresnahan. What an extraordinary level of support our community enjoys from the IFS! We are very proud to recognize their generous gifts with namings in the schools. It’s suitable that their ongoing support of education will be an ongoing tribute. ” Make Your Mark naming opportunities still available at the Bresnahan School include the patio, basketball court, playground areas, conference rooms, computer rooms, classrooms, offices, art rooms, literature closets, and more. Donations can be made by an organization, business, or individuals to name a room and honor a teacher, family member, or alumni class with a lasting tribute. A plaque outside the classroom, office or other area commemorates the tribute. Naming opportunities range from $2,500 to $100,000. To learn more about the NEF’s current campaigns and the Make Your Mark donor recognition program, please email info@NewburyportEF.org or visit www. NewburyportEF.org. Founded in 2004, the NEF is a nonprofit organization that functions as the development office for the Newburyport Public Schools and brings in philanthropy to and works with the school administration to strategically fund projects and needs outside the city school budget. Over the past 10 years, NEF donors have contributed more than $2.2 million to the Newburyport Public Schools.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don't be surprised if, in spite of your well-made plans, something goes awry. But don't worry. Your knowledge of the facts plus your Arian charm will help you work it out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A personal relationship seems to be demanding more than you feel you're able to give. Best advice: Confront the issue. You could find the situation surprisingly easy to work through. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist being pressured into meeting your selfimposed deadline. This is important if you really feel that taking more time to finish a project could save time in the long run. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A vacation choice seems less interesting than when you first made it. Could it be a matter of the place or the people going with you? Find out before you consider a change of plans. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Someone might be overriding your Leonine logic to get you to agree to "favors" you would normally avoid. Take a new look at what you've been asked to do and see if you've been misled. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Try to keep that emerging "judgmental" aspect in check this week. Too many critiques on relatively unimportant issues could create a lot of negative bounce-back reactions. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Facing unpleasant facts about an associate

isn't easy. But ignoring them isn't wise. Ask a trusted (and neutral) friend to help guide you on what to do and how you might do it. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A shift in opinion regarding a workplace situation could go a long way in vindicating the stand you've taken. But be aware that a satisfactory resolution could still be a long way off. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) It's not like you to choose the easy way rather than the right way to do things. So, follow your instincts and feel assured they will lead you to the right decision. Good luck. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Hold off on making a personal commitment until you find out what it really entails and whose interests are actually involved. There could be hidden facts you need to know. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new friend offers an unexpected opportunity that could lead to a career change. Check it out carefully and consider getting an assessment from someone familiar with this field. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A surprising discovery leads to mixed reactions from those involved in the "revelation." But as you come to appreciate the truth, you'll be able to also come to terms with your feelings. BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of travel helps you appreciate the wonders of the world. You would find a satisfying career in any travel-related industry. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
