A bee pollinates a ﬂower

REGIONAL – Last week about 60 people, including beekeepers from across Massachusetts, drove through a drenching downpour to sit in a sweltering Masonic Lodge in downtown Beverly to discuss for about two hours what can be done to persuade cities and towns and individual property owners from spreading harmful chemicals that kill bees. In the audience were four lawyers, including the renowned environmental attorney Jan Schlichtmann, who are assisting the group in gathering information about the contributing factors in the death of bees. Also in the audience was Beverly Mayor Michael Cahill, who came to learn about the impact insecticides are having on the population of bees and other pollinators. According to several recent studies, the honey bee population in the U.S. has declined by 30 percent in recent years, with some beekeepers reporting losses up to

90 and 100 percent. The beekeepers and others who came to talk about the decline in bee population left the meeting “fired up and passionate,” said Anita Deeley of Beverly, who raises bees and helped organize the meeting. The original stated purpose of the meeting was to help the attorneys build a class-action law suit to stop the spread of insecticides in Essex County and beyond. Schlichtmann, best known for his 1980s lawsuit against W. R. Grace and Beatrice Co. for allegedly contaminating the Woburn water supply, former Beverly City Councilor Scott Dullea, an attorney, and two associates took extensive notes, but acted primarily as advisers to the beekeepers. The conclusion was that “it is too early” to be thinking about a law suit, said Todd Klibansky of Rowley, who with his wife Kim is one of the group organizers. Continued on page 3

Bee Group Forms To Educate Public About Insecticides

The focus of the group is now to build an organization that educates government oﬃcials and the average homeowner that the insecticides – from aerial spraying to fertilizers that make lawns greener – kill bees. “A green lawn is like a parking lot to bees,” Todd Klibansky said. Calling a green lawn a food dessert for pollinators, he said, “There is nothing there for a bee.” According to a new study from the Harvard School of Public Health, two widely used neonicotinoids, a class of insecticide, appear to harm honey bee colonies significantly over winter, particularly during colder winters. The study, published in the May 9 issue of the Bulletin of Insectology, confirmed a link between low doses of insecticides and Colony Collapse Disorder, in which bees abandon their hives over the winter and eventually

die. For this study, researchers examined 18 bee colonies at three different apiaries in central Massachusetts over the course of a year. Four colonies at each apiary were regularly treated with realistic doses of neonicotinoid pesticides, while six hives were left untreated. Of the 12 hives treated with the pesticides, six were wiped out. Deeley said the Harvard researchers found that Essex County has one of the highest concentrations of pesticides in its soil and water. The researchers said they were uncertain why Essex County has such high concentrations. Bees transfer contaminated pollen from primarily pesticidetreated corn crops and bring it back to their hives. They also transfer these pesticides to other plants and crops that are not treated with the chemicals, the researchers found. Manufacturers of pesticide have

old favorites, including a fashion show and a boat parade. Downtown Entertainment has a dual role. It provides entertainment on three stages downtown throughout the festival. It also gives performers a chance to showcase their talent to the hundreds or even thousands who attend Yankee Homecoming daily. As a result, Downtown Entertainment, chaired by Don Jarvis, features a wide variety of bands and other acts. Yankee Homecoming Brewfest, on Saturday, July 26 from 5 to 9 p.m., is one of the most popular events. Held under a large tent on the waterfront next to the boardwalk, the Brewfest attracts some of the area's best breweries. A few tickets may be found at major liquor stores, but on-line sales are sold out. All proceeds from the $35 general admission go to support Yankee Homecoming. The nightly waterfront concerts attract people who bring blankets to sit on the grass while they listen to favorite bands. shows run from 7:30 to 9 p.m.. A major part of the festival each year is the parade down High Street. The parade kicks off at the west end of High Street around 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3. Following the fire trucks, there will be antique cars, bands and a special guest appearance by Minnie and Mickey Mouse. To showcase the city's history on its 250th birthday, Yankee Homecoming is featuring several

tours and events built around its heritage. This Saturday, venture out to People’s Methodist Church on Purchase Street to celebrate Joppa Day. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., learn about the history of Joppa through artifacts, decoys, sneak floats, photographs, postcards and paintings. Enjoy a bowl of fish or clam chowder while hearing about stories of growing up in Joppa. There will also be Joppa Walking Tours, led by Ghlee Woodworth at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tour the Newburyport Powder House Park and Learning Center, built in 1822 on Godfrey's Hill at 1 p.m. It is at at 57 Low Street.

The 1805 courthouse, designed by Charles Bullfinch, will be open on Sunday from 10 to noon. Learn about the history of the courtroom where President John Quincy Adams and Daniel Webster tried cases.

CHILD ENRICHMENT Keeping Kids Stimulated All Summer Can Help Prevent the Summer Learning Slide

(BPT) - For most kids, the final school bell signals a break from learning and a focus on summer fun, but for parents it often means an uphill battle to beat the "summer slide" in their child's learning. Significant knowledge and skills gained during the previous school year can be lost if children don't participate in enrichment and learning activities during summer break. In fact, children run the risk of losing newly learned Common Core curriculum skills they developed during the year. The good news for parents who are concerned about the summer slide is that several Common Core teachings can be easily adapted from the classroom to fun summer projects conducted at home and in the community. "The summer slide can mean a child may spend the first two months of the new school year playing catchup instead of learning new material," says Dr. Ashley Norris, assistant dean of the College of Education at University of Phoenix. "Parents need to plan a balanced mix of activities for their children during the summer that not only include sports and extracurricular activities, but learning activities that emphasize math and reading skills." Norris, who prepares prospective and current teachers to address dynamics in schools and the classroom, recommends parents incorporate Common Core themes into the summer curriculum they plan for their children. Here are six fun, educational activities that can help kids avoid the summer slide and also provide parents with opportunities to connect with their children. 1. Turn everyday activities into learning opportunities - According to a recent University of Phoenix College of Education survey, 38 percent of teachers believe Common Core curriculum ties learning to real-world scenarios. Errands are an easy way to engage children in reading and math skills. Consider having your child help make the grocery list, go shopping with you and practice adding up the bill and calculating the tax. 2. Seek inspiration from community events and activities - Visit the farmers market to learn about vegetables and teach the importance of healthy eating. Attend concerts and then ask your child to research his favorite musical instruments. Head to the local nature center to learn about native plants and then return home and ask the kids to draw what they saw. 3. Embrace technology and create interactive projects and activities - Apps and websites such as Pinterest are making Common Core projects available for parents to set up at home. Pinterest has new math and reading challenges that are posted daily. You can also search for Common Core apps developed by schools across the country combining video games with math and science skills. 4. Focus on core competencies - Look for activities that emphasize core skills such as math and reading. Creating a cooking project is one of the best ways to integrate these skills as children are required to follow directions of a recipe and learn about cooking elements such as time, temperature and measuring ingredients. 5. Balance academic and social engagement - Look for activities or summer camps that not only promote social skill development, but allow for knowledge in specific content areas. Science and technology camps provide hands-on learning projects such as bridge building, mouse-trap cars or the construction of robots. Many science museums offer home projects on their websites. 6. Plan a trip to the library - Common Core requires students to conduct in-depth research from multiple sources and then discuss their findings with peers. Families can do similar activities throughout the summer. Each family member can search for information on a chosen topic then set a time to gather and discuss the findings, which research tools were used and if more information is available. Make it a game by voting for the family member who found the most interesting or unique fact. If you keep them engaged during the summer break, your children can pick up right where they left off when the school bell rings in the fall.

Real Estate • For Sale “Who Ya Gonna Call?”...

• Sports • Sports Sports that there was a “little girl ghost” the market for a house, he would who had been appearing in front of the dining room fireplace for generations. The owner explained that the little girl had been “taken by the Indians” and that she kept returning in her little pale yellow dress. The owner offered the information very matter of factly while she showed me the property. She moved on to the next room while I stood transfixed to that fireplace and to the “Indian barricades” that still hung at the windows. If I had been asked if I had seen a ghost in the house my answer would have been “No.” If I had been asked if the seller had ever seen a ghost in the house my answer would have been “The seller told me that she has.” Over the decades there have been huge old structures such as prisons, hospitals, schools and firehouses that have been converted and renovated as condos and townhouses. The “ghost stories” are plentiful. One listing agent arrived at the construction site of an old psychiatric facility. She had an appointment to meet someone from the fire department and just as she stepped out of her car she saw him making his way very quickly out of the building. He slowed down only long enough to warn her not to go inside. She followed him to his vehicle and he told her “Someone else will have to come back here. I just saw a ghost on the stairs leading to the second floor and I’m done here.” As it happened, several workmen had reported paranormal activity that included “sightings”. Applying Massachusetts law, however, unless she was specifically asked, the listing agent has no duty to disclose. Someone very close to me (and you know who you are) watches every ghost show on the planet. I have no doubt that if he were in

ask several questions about any paranormal activity. He would have a legal right to receive honest answers. I must admit to remaining open to possibilities that I have yet to experience (as far as I know). The duty to disclose is not always clear, but when in doubt, ethics require that we err on the side of caution as sellers and brokers. Buyers and tenants have a right to truthful answers to their specific questions. If you have any doubt or suspect that your property may be haunted……. Who Ya Gonna Call?.......

Health & Fitness

There appears to be an explosion of “ghost shows” on television in recent years and the increased notoriety of the topic of paranormal activity has not been lost within the real estate industry. Disclosure laws concerning perceived paranormal activity in a property for sale differ from state to state. Massachusetts, however, does not impose a duty on the seller or broker to offer any information to a prospective buyer or tenant: MGL c. 93, s.114: "Psychologically impacted" Properties. Sellers and brokers do not have to disclose to buyers or tenants the fact that a property is perceived to be tainted by the health of a previous occupant, a murder or suicide, or paranormal phenomena. However, they may not be deceitful in answers to questions about the property. Whether the real estate professional takes paranormal activity seriously or not, Massachusetts law does impose a duty to answer questions honestly. That duty to inform is triggered by the specific question posed by the buyer or the tenant. If the seller told the listing agent that the seller believed the house to be haunted, that representation will not be included in marketing materials nor will visitors hear “Welcome to our Open Haunted House.” If the seller told the listing agent that every Sunday between 2p and 3p, the lights go out and the beds levitate, the agent might be wise to schedule the open house for 12p to 1:30p. Several years ago I listed an oceanfront property that was built in 1690. The owner told me

But seriously, Lamb, you might want to back up your ideas with some solid data, and then watch the yeas pile on. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your hard work could pay off in ways you didn't expect, but certainly deserve. Tend to that pesky health problem now so you'll be in top shape to tackle the new projects coming up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Planning a family event can be stressful unless you make it clear from the start that you're in charge. You might accept suggestions, but it will be your decisions that count. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You still have a way to go to bring that professional matter to a satisfactory conclusion. Meanwhile, an important personal situation could require more of your attention by week's end. LEO (July 23 to August 22) There's something about you Fine Felines that makes people want to tell you secrets. But once again, be wary of who is doing the telling. You might not want to be that person's confidante. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Creating a fuss about a family matter might get everyone's attention. But it might be better to talk one-on-one with family members in order to spare a loved one unnecessary embarrassment.

Arm yourself with facts, and go to it. Good luck. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Devising your own system of doing things might be the best way to handle an increasingly complex situation. But do it tactfully in order to avoid ruﬄing too many of your colleagues' feathers. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A family member's health problem might once again require you to shift some of your current priorities around. But this time, make certain other relatives will be there to help. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Catching up on tasks you've left undone will take a while to accomplish. But the sooner you complete them, the sooner you'll be able to take on another time-sensitive project. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might feel swamped by all that you're expected to do. But take a moment to come up for air, then handle things one at a time, and you'll soon get through them all.
