Rubbish to Runway By Stewart Lytle, reporter –––––––––––––––––
NEWBURYPORT – Trash can be a lot of fun and useful. This Saturday you can see first hand how plastic cleaning bags, old magazines, towels, used bath robes, beer cans and plastic utensils can be transformed into high fashion, appropriate for a strut down the runway. It is the fifth annual Rubbish to Runway Refashion Show at Nicholson Hall, where more than two dozen local women, including Mayor Donna Holaday, don extraordinary creations by fashion designers who transform recycled materials into dresses. “The community has embraced it. People love the event,” said founder Elizabeth Rose. “It is growing in size and interest.” Holaday, who has walked the runway as a model for the last three years, said after last year’s fashion show, “It is an incredible event that just gets bigger and better each year.” The mayor’s designer has created a dress for her this year called “The Four Seasons of Maudslay.” Continued on page 3

between the water board and the selectmen “adversarial.” Recently there have been calls for Toomey and fellow board member Stuart Dalzell to resign. The generally hostile crowd of ratepayers and town officials who attended the water board meeting last week repeatedly questioned actions taken by the water board, including asking why the minutes for the last two meetings were not ready for approval and public review. The water board members agreed to schedule a meeting with the selectmen in the next two weeks to try to resolve their differences. In an executive session last month, the water board suspended Wiser for two weeks and commissioned an investigation of the water department operations after Wiser began approving the department’s purchases and payroll. She was operating under the authority given her by the selectmen at the end of June. Toomey argued that the selectmen under state law does not have that authority. Wiser’s suspension was challenged by the selectmen and several residents,

AJH Invests $1.5 Million to Bring 3D Mammography to Area In 2014, more than 200,000 women were diagnosed with an invasive form of breast cancer. It remains the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. However, women don’t have to allow this disease to advance to a late stage before it is detected and treated. Early detection is critical to survival. In the coming months, Anna Jaques will offer 3D Mammography, the latest and most advanced technology in breast cancer screenings and detection. 3D Mammography is the biggest breakthrough in breast cancer detection in 30 years because it provides clinicians with a level of clarity proven to improve accuracy and reduce call-backs and biopsies. “Anna Jaques Hospital is investing $1.5 million to bring

Are you confused about the $2 to $3 million dollar project for the now multi-phase project for the artificial turf field? It is not free. It’s on the warrant needing a two thirds vote. It has been explained that it is coming out of the budget, but whose budget: Town or School? It is going to be bonded but won’t effect the taxes. How does that work? Where is the money coming from? There are too many loose ends and unanswered questions, grants and phantom fund donations. No documentation. How much is going cost the tax payer if the Town and School has it in their budget? How? How did it get there? If the override was so crucial, how can it be just five months later they have money? Who is watching the store? What’s the big push for? Is it because the taxpayers won’t see their new bill until February 2016 — Well after the vote at the Special Town Meeting? Go figure. Buffaloed, I say. In my opinion, this article should be pulled off the warrant. Magic. And what kind of magic was performed to not go on the ballot? Call or e-mail your selectmen@ipswich-ma.gov Ask about recent tax increases: The override, Linebrook Road, School turf, which still has to paid from someone. I’m no math wizard, but it looks an awful lot like $500 +$500 + $500 = $1500 on top of your present tax bill. It could also help if you go to Selectmen’s meeting and show you want to be included in the decisions of your tax dollars. Like the folks that are crowding the halls of presidential hopefuls to change the system and its broken process. Lack of transparency, full disclosure and oversight.

3D Mammography to our Newburyport, Amesbury and Haverhill locations to provide the most advanced mammogram available in the country to the communities we serve,” said Mark Goldstein, President and CEO. “Offering the highest standard of breast care is central to our mission and our role as a community hospital.” Through the generosity and commitment of Institution for Savings, a $500,000 donation has been given to Anna Jaques toward the purchase of these three machines. “We are pleased to partner with Anna Jaques Hospital to bring this state-of-the-art breast cancer detection and screening technology to our community,” said Institution for Savings President and CEO Michael J. Jones. “At the Institution for Savings we know all too well the impact that breast cancer can have on individuals and families, as we have had numerous employees and family members affected by this devastating disease in recent years. We are proud to give individuals the opportunity to have this test performed close to home, applaud Anna Jaques for implementing this new technology, and are happy that we could help.” “We are extremely grateful for this generous gift which enables us to improve the health of our community and ultimately save lives,” continued Mark Goldstein. “The Institution for Savings has been incredibly supportive of the hospital for years. President & CEO Michael Jones and the Bank have once again made a major donation that will make a real difference to women of the Greater Newburyport area.” The Power and Promise of 3D
Mammography Several large studies have shown that 3D Mammography, also known as Tomosynthesis, detects 41% more invasive breast cancers which is 1-2 more cancers caught per 1,000 tests. It was also shown to reduce the chance that a patient will need to be called back for additional views by up to 15%. This increased accuracy means detecting cancer earlier with fewer false alarms, and fewer biopsies. 3D Mammography produces thin slices of the breast, taking up to 180 pictures of a breast in about the same time it takes 2D to take four pictures. This allows the radiologist to view breast tissue one thin slice at a time, almost like turning pages in a book, which helps them make a more accurate diagnosis. “Getting a mammogram is an emotional experience, especially in circumstances where more testing is required,” said Peter Hartmann, MD, FACS, Medical Director of the Gerrish Breast Care Center, affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. “With the superior imagery produced by 3D Mammography, this technology creates the opportunity to provide a more detailed and accurate first screening – especially for women with greater breast density – so that women can be spared the need to endure additional testing, including biopsies.” All patients will be offered 3D mammography for screening and diagnostic exams regardless of age or breast type. Initial screening results are provided within two business days. Visit ajh.org/breastcare for more information. Women may self-refer for a screening mammogram.

Bad News for Water Department Continued from page 1
who claim the executive session was an illegal meeting, a claim Toomey vehemently denied. Former water board chairman Scott Martin, who had his own battles with the selectmen during his 12-year tenure, told the current members of the water board that the selectmen are planning to ask the next Town Meeting to abolish the water board. That action, if taken, would have to be approved by a town election. Toomey cut short selectman David Petersen when he tried to read a statement, regarding the executive session. Toomey told Petersen he could make his comments in a letter. The chairman then read his own three-page statement into the record, discussing his views on recent rate hikes, operational issues and the dispute over whether state law gives the water board or the selectmen control over water department operations. Toomey accused “certain members of the Board of Selectmen” of undermining the authority of the water board. In his opinion, he wrote, that the selectmen have used “smokescreen issues” and created Continued from page 1
“unnecessary conflicts” between the water board and Wiser in a “typical divide and conquer tactic.” At Toomey’s request, the board tabled discussion of a proposed investigation of the department’s operations until the selectmen agree to allow the water board to hire an attorney. In the executive session, which vice chairman John Manning did not attend, the board voted to hire an attorney to launch an investigation. The selectmen refused to agree to pay the attorney, so he withdrew. On the agenda for discussion were 10 items, including department benefits and pay, departmental communication problems, personal use of department computers, departmental credit card and personal use of water department property such as vehicles and computers. The town is searching for a laptop computer used by Wiser, which appears to have vanished during her suspension. A recent leak detection study, the first one conducted since 2012, found more than a dozen leaks in the water system. Those leaks lost 32.5 million “America is rich, but Guatemala is rich in ways we are not at all,” said Rose, who served as chairman of the Long Way Home board for five years. She met the director of Long Way Home several years ago when she and her family were on a “vacation” to Guatemala to teach English. They were invited to watch local men plant grass for the soccer field from plugs of grass taken from elsewhere. The Rose family, including her then 16-year-old son who was an avid soccer player, was so fascinated by the grass planting, they returned the next year to see young people playing on the field. “We fell in love with the community,” she said. Years later, Rose heard about an exhibit in Lowell where trash was recycled into dresses. That was the inspiration for the Rubbish to Runway ReFashion event. “It benefits a lot of people,” Rose said. Fashion designers and artists get to stretch their creativity in designing the dresses. The models, who start as young as 10 years old, are a very diverse group. The event employs a trainer for the models in how to walk the runway. This year, the emcee will be actor check out our:

Rubbish to Runway
The Rubbish to Runway Refashion raises about $10,000 each year that goes to help build a school in Guatemala. It is not just any school. Long Way Home also uses trash, not to make dresses, but to build schools and other buildings. It has built Tecnico Chixot School and Parque Chimiya, a community park in San Juan Comalapa, located in the highlands of west-central Guatemala. Beginning in 2004, the charity launched a grassroots community development effort to bring local residents together to learn about ecofriendly living, sustainable technologies and improved waste management solutions. The park on five acres of rural land has a tree nursery, terraced organic gardens, a regulation grass soccer field, a basketball court and a playground. There is also a house for volunteers and interns, a community kitchen and a pavilion for classes and other community events. The park charges an admission fee of 25 cents, but children get in free if they bring recycled plastic bottles packed with inorganic trash. The response to the trash bottle program has been overwhelming. The campaign has reduced municipal litter, taught local families a new waste management solution and created a stream of building materials for Long Way Home’s construction projects. In its first three years, more than 28,000 trash bottles were collected, according to the organization’s web site. Long Way Home used the bottles, old tires and other trash to build walls, floors and a roof.

gallons of water which, if sold, would have produced $837,000 in revenue. Most of the leaks have now been fixed, Wiser said. The condensation issue was potentially much worse news. Board vice chairman John Manning called the problem at the plant “horrible” and “atrocious.” Dalzell said he is concerned about the damage and potential injury to workers if the excess water in the plant gets into the electrical room. Weston & Sampson, engineers on the water plant, proposed fixing the condensation issue for $50,000 by installing four temporary dehumidifiers, a proposal Manning called “a Mickey Mouse solution.” Tata & Howard, an engineering firm out of Marlborough, proposed the $400,000 retrofit. Board members and selectman Petersen noted that both estimates were provided free and called on the water board to hire an engineering firm to do a formal estimate of the condensation problem. The board agreed and instructed Wiser to draft a request for proposal on fixing the condensation problem.

Last week I talked about changing behavior. Specifically, I discussed change as it relates to teen sleep. Change is often not easy, but is inevitable if we choose to better any part of our lives. Many of us use New Year’s resolutions to stimulate change. These resolutions are really like a “to-do list� on a larger scale. As with many to-do lists, some of the items on it keep getting pushed down in the ranking of priorities because of the constraints of time. First, we don’t need to wait until New Year’s to work on change. Second, the things we want to change need to start with our attitude. One of my favorite quotes is, “If we change the way we look at things, the things we look at will change.� Once we are in that frame of mind, purifying our time should be the constant we strive to achieve with any change we wish to accomplish. Many driven people pride themselves on how many tasks and commitments they are able to take on. Eventually, reality catches up and this philosophy of always doing

more becomes counterproductive, as you inevitably have to approach your growing list of commitments at a more superficial level. The simple truth is that getting more done is not a matter of doing more things; it is a matter of doing the right things with your time. In that sense, the answer is often found in “unhooking� yourself from the low-value time wasters that hold you back from giving your full attention to the things that truly drive your success. You can’t buy more hours in a day, but you can reclaim time for yourself. You can choose to delegate; you can choose to streamline and purge yourself of recurring nuisances that eat away at your productivity or effectiveness of changing something. By purifying your time priorities in this way, you amplify the value of your time and you get more out of life. So as you put together your list of things you want to change, make sure it includes both the things you want to add to your life as well as the things you don’t want to do anymore. Be ruthless about it, keeping in mind that this (time) is your most precious resource. Examine each recurring demand on your time and ask yourself if it’s adding value to your life in a tangible way? Is it enhancing your productivity and improving your life? If the answer

is no to both of those questions, the next question becomes obvious: Then why are you doing this? Challenge yourself right now to sit down and create your own list of changes you would like to see in yourself. Try to come up with at least five items. This is a great way to feel liberated at any time of the year. This allows you to clear your mind of clutter and award yourself more time and energy to embrace the really important possibilities. You can create specific lists for different aspects of your life, like your health. Changing your habits takes effort and the awareness that you want the change in your life. Over the next couple of weeks I will introduce you to a patient or two who many of you may be able to relate to. My objective will be to stimulate ideas on how the profession of dentistry, as well as patients, may want to consider changing the way we look at our health, specifically dental health.
