Arts Festival such an amazing event! On June 28 Manter Field in Byfield was transformed from an athletic field into a place where people of all ages, from infant to grandparent, could relax and enjoy the summer sun. For 12 hours, more than 16 bands performed continuously on three outdoor stages, 40 vendors displayed and sold their arts and crafts, children and adults played games and painted an 8 x 20 foot art wall, and everyone enjoyed delicious food and beverages supplied by local restaurants and brewers. A dedicated committee and many volunteers helped make this all happen and the local business community provided support. We are grateful to Fusion Blue Productions, The Institution for Savings Charitable Foundation, Clemenzi Music, Omni Security, Wild Maple Music, Soineann practioner Trish DeCaprio, Pearson Hardware, Align Credit Union, The Grog, Cutting Chiropractic, Bridge Road Signs, Robyn Verrette and the Triton Art Department, and the many folks who showed up to get things done from beginning to end.

Is An EV In Your Near Future? Continued from page 1

along the road, the state is offering cities and towns and even employers incentives to install power stations to charge the EV cars. The governor unveiled grants of almost $600,000 to 16 municipalities, two universities and one state agency to install EV charging stations and buy about 200 EVs for their fleets. Among North Shore cities on the list were Amesbury, Beverly and Gloucester. Currently, finding a public power station along the North Shore is a challenge. One, and probably the only power station for EV cars in our area, is at the Mass Audubon's Parker River Education Center on Plum Island Turnpike. Drivers of electric cars on the North Shore can pull into Joppa Flats Education Center for a free "fill up" at the electric charging station in its parking lot. Sanctuary Director Bill Gette said the nature center was chosen to showcase the station, which is powered by solar panels, largely because of Joppa Flats’ track record in promoting Mass Audubon’s sustainability goals. The charging process takes a couple of hours, so visitors can plug in and enjoy the education center before they drive off in a recharged vehicle. Several towns and cities are gearing up to install power stations

for electric cars. Amesbury Mayor Ken Gray and Deputy Director of Community and Economic Development William Scott told the city council recently the city wants to install a dual connector charging station in the downtown parking garage. Amesbury, recently designated a Green Community by the state, will also purchase an electric 2014 Ford Focus EV for the water department to use in reading water meters. The state is giving Amesbury a $17,500 grant to help pay for the power station and the vehicle. West Newbury is considering installing a charging station. Rick Parker of the Energy Advisory Committee proposed that West Newbury take advantage of the state's incentive program to install the power station, possibly near the library. The West Newbury Selectmen also indicated they will consider buying electric vehicles to replace town-owned cars and trucks as they age. In Newburyport, Molly Ettenborough, the recycling and energy manager, said the city is making space for power stations at the new senior center near the Bresnahan School. Currently she said there are no plans to install any power stations downtown. “We are looking to put an EV

Inn Street Montessori School's Closing Frustrates Families

Continued from page 1

Amesbury and the North Shore Montessori School in Rowley, have welcomed the Inn Street students and families. Sparhawk and North Shore held open houses for the students shortly after the parents were notified the school was closing. “Both schools have been very loving and caring,” said one parent. The challenge for the parents and teachers, seeking new positions, is that there are not many elementary schools, public or private, along the North Shore that teach in the style developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. “People in this area are looking for that (Montessori-style schools),” said Margaret Henry, a long-time Montessori teacher, school board member and for the last eight years owner of the North Shore Montessori School. Several students from Inn Street have visited her North Shore school and some have applied, Henry said. North Shore currently has 36 students in five grades and is expanding. Henry said she added the fifth grade this year and will grow to six grades next year. Children from age thirty-two months through age 10 may attend North Shore. The school is on two acres of land that

has chickens and gardens. “Our focus in applying Montessori principles is to give each child the opportunity to be nurtured, educated and inspired at his or her own unique pace in order to optimize their personal educational experience,” she wrote. In addition to Sparhawk and North Shore Montessori, other options include the Clark School, which is moving next month from its Danvers campus to Route 1 in Rowley. The move into a building almost twice as large as its current campus will allow Clark to have more space for art and science classrooms, outside activities and many more parking spaces. In Beverly, schools include the Harborlight/Stoneridge Montessori School and the Waring School, which has a middle school and high school. Two Montessori-style elementary schools operate in New Hampshire: the Cornerstone School in Stratham, NH, and the Southern New Hampshire Montessori Academy in Londonerry, NH. Cornerstone, which was founded in 1985, has 165 students, from toddlers through eighth grade. Its campus, on 11 acres, includes a full gym and stage, a graded soccer field,

The River Valley Charter School in Newburyport serves 288 students. Its students are selected by a lottery system. Like all public schools, the charter school is funded by the state. Similarly, the Hill View Montessori Public Charter School in Haverhill serves 304 students, who attend tuition free.

Dunn, who lives in Hampton, founded the festival five years ago as a way to break up the summer. “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,” said Dunn. “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), it’s a way to catch up with folks before I go to Hollywood.” 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.

If you were on a night that he wasn’t on, you’d go to the beach and get a slice and some fried dough. “Unlike other festivals, the focus is really just on having fun and enjoying comedy,” Rattigan said. “There are no contests, and no entry fee, no actors that aren’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 they’re funny, and they’re here to enjoy the show. You see comics hanging out with the people before and afterwards, and it’s just very loose, and very fun.” “I’m really excited to be doing this,” said Bickford, a southern Maine native who is performing in the festival for the first time. “It’s great to be involved with a comedy festival that’s Contact your Advertising so well-known, and to be with such high caliber comedians.

Senior Scene Is Your Handbag Prepared to Help Save Your Life? Why Aspirin is the Ultimate Handbag Essential (BPT) - Did you know that nearly 300,000 women in the U.S. have heart attacks each year? Yet, most women's handbags are better prepared to manage a broken nail (55 percent) or bad hair day (36 percent) than a heart attack (17 percent). Bayer HealthCare, the makers of Bayer(R) Aspirin, and WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease join together on a national campaign, Handbags & Hearts, that urges women to carry aspirin in their handbags - the one item they do not leave home without - at all times to be prepared for a sudden heart attack. Help spread the word about heart attack preparedness, as knowing what to do in the moment could be the difference between life and death. "As a cardiologist, I see women everyday who aren't aware of the unique symptoms women often experience or what to do if they suspect they are having a heart attack. I urge all women to equip themselves with the knowledge they need to save their own lives," said Tracy Stevens, MD, FACC, Medical Director of the Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute's Muriel I. Kauffman Women's Heart Center and member of the WomenHeart Scientific Advisory Council, WomenHeart's advisory group of the nation's leading experts on women's heart health. "Take the time to visit HandbagsAndHearts.com and make sure you carry aspirin in your handbag every day to be better prepared for a sudden heart attack." A survey, conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of Bayer HealthCare, revealed that 61 percent of women feel they are likely to have a heart attack in their lifetime, yet 93 percent don't have knowledge of each of the different heart attack symptoms women often experience. When taken during a heart attack as directed by a doctor, aspirin has been shown to reduce the risk of death - by 23 percent - and lessen the damaging effects on the heart muscle. Less than a quarter of those surveyed said they carry it in their handbag. Ladies - what are you waiting for? Put your heart health front and center today by following this quick and easy advice from Dr. Stevens: * Take the time to learn the specific signs of heart attack in women. In an online survey of 1,000 women, most had limited knowledge of heart attack symptoms different to them such as nausea (43 percent) and cold sweats (36 percent). Trust your gut - if something doesn't seem right, don't delay. * If you suspect a heart attack, calling 911 and chewing or crushing and swallowing aspirin as directed by a physician can be life-saving. * Be proactive about your heart health; commit to discussing your heart health with your doctor at your next physical to help identify your coronary risks and put a plan in place to address those risks - before you have a heart attack. Seventy-one percent of women did not discuss their heart health at their last doctor visit. * Visit HandbagsAndHearts.com to learn the signs and symptoms of heart attack.

POWERFUL TOOLS FOR

Be Prepared

Even if we don't have caregivers now, it's a good idea to look to the future. The Federal Citizen Information Center has a package of information that we -- and our caregivers -- need to have. The Family Caregivers Kit is free and was put together with an eye to gathering lots of information in one place. The kit comes with nine publications: the 2014 Consumer Action Handbook; how to spot health scams; money smarts for older adults; two pamphlets on medications; and four publications on handling someone else's money. These four include power of attorney, court-appointed guardians, representative payees and Department of Veterans Affairs fiduciaries and trustees under a revocable living trust. All good stuff, with information we need now and when caregivers come into our lives. The 2014 Consumer Action Handbook is worth having all by itself. Its 152 pages contain solid information on insurance, banking, buying or leasing cars, privacy and identity theft, credit, travel, food, going green and much more. If you're scammed or need to file a claim, there's a section on that too, with contact information for companies as well as local, state and federal government agencies. While the Family Caregivers Kit is available online, it requires you to put your name and address on the Internet. Your best bet is to call the FCIC at 1-888-878-3256 and ask for the kit to be sent to you. A representative will know all the parts and pieces that go into it. If you have a computer and want to read other free publications online, go to publications.usa.gov ... and have fun! You're not limited to the categories listed. Put an interest you have (such as "seniors") in the search box, and see what you get. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible. Send email to columnreply2@gmail.com.

10 Mistakes to Selling weAvoid have When SOLD since June 6th:

• Rowley • Sports Sports Sports By John McCarthy, Realty

1. Selling on Your Own Do you have the time or knowledge on how to sell your home? Why do it yourself? If the objective is to save some money, the numbers don’t lie; home sellers who try to do it themselves often end up taking longer to sell and sell for far less than homeowners who work with a REALTOR®. 2. Asking Too Much You must know your market and get familiar with comps of similar homes currently for sale and more importantly those that have recently sold. By having your REALTOR® show you what homes have sold for that are comparable will give you a good understanding on what to ask for yours. Asking significantly more than market value will only cause you to drop the price down the line. The most eyes are on your home the first few weeks you place it on the market. Don’t blow that period by asking too much. 3. Let Me In! Every home seller would like plenty of notice before allowing someone in their home. It is especially challenging to sell when you have young children. Occasionally your REALTOR® will call saying that a buyer would like to get in right away. While difficult please do all you can to let that buyer in your home. They may be ready to buy (your REALTOR® can find out how serious they are) and your home may be a perfect fit. Even if the home isn’t perfect try to accommodate the buyer who gave you short notice. You may be happy you did. Also, once the home is under agreement be accommodating to the buyer if they want to come back and take measurements or bring family by to see their soon to be new home. Yes, it is inconvenient but your buyer will be thankful and it will only help make the transaction go smoother. 4. Going Somewhere? When selling make sure you have a place to go when the home sells. I have worked with a number of sellers who panic when they get

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Aries leadership qualities can help bring order out of all that confusion, whether it's on the job or in the home. But be careful to guide, not goad, others into following you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Applying a more personal view to a job-linked issue could help provide better insight into those persistent problems. Use your keen Taurean logic to cut through the double-talk. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking some time off could be the best way to get through that seemingly endless round of demands. You'll return refreshed and ready to tackle things from a new perspective. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Restoring a sagging professional relationship takes a lot of effort. By all means, state your position. But also make sure you pay close attention to the other person's point of view. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A hot prospect intrigues the Big Cat, who is always on the prowl for a promising investment. But be careful that this "promise" has a chance of being kept. Check it out more carefully. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A friend could use some of your compassion and concern. If he or she doesn't ask for help, be sure you step up and make the first move. Also, check out a new career possibility. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might have difficulty getting your

July 16 - , 014

opinions heard because of all the noise being made by the other side. But hang in there. Others should line up with you once they learn the facts. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Offering to help a colleague is commendable. But before you commit your time and effort, check to see if that person's situation is all that he or she has led you to believe it is. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You soon should be seeing positive results from your recent efforts on behalf of a family member. On another matter, check that you have all the facts regarding a job assignment. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your aspects favor closer family relationships this week. Take time for visits, whether in person, by phone, by mail or in cyberspace. Let them know how important they are to you. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A missed opportunity isn't always a negative. Maybe your instincts are telling you not to rush into something you "thought" was worthwhile. Make time for family this weekend. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your sense of humor helps you get through a tricky situation. But some stick-in-the-muds might not be so willing to make the changes that you and others agree are necessary. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making everyone you know -- or even just Region’s Community Newsp met --The feel important andLargest welcome inIndependent your life.
