Waterfront Agencies Working Together by stewart Lytle, reporter –––––––––––––––––
NEWBURYPORT – Maybe there is hope for peace in the Middle East. Here in the port city, the two city agencies that own and manage the city's waterfront have maintained a strained peace or ignored one another for almost as long as the Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting. Last week, the two organizations began working together, not over a grand plan for developing the longcontested waterfront, but over longneglected trees that stand on both their properties. Members of the two boards also discussed shrinking some of the parking lots to create more waterfront seating areas. And they may work Photo by Stewart Lytle together to lay electrical wire for more Joe Leoni is turning the old Davis Auto Parts building into the Ale parking lot lighting.

there was discussion of forming joint committees to work on specific waterfront issues. “It is good to show the public that both groups want to work together to create more green space,” said Waterfront Trust member Joe Brown. Trust member Scott Sutherland agreed. “This is a beginning of an ongoing cooperation effort between the two boards. It is a good idea.” NRA chairman Tom Salemi, who was not at the Trust meeting last week, said, “We have a lot of common goals. We stand on a lot of common ground.” The Waterfront Trust, which owns 4.4 acres, including the boardwalk and Market Landing Square, was created Continued on page 3
Mardi Gras in November by stewart Lytle, reporter –––––––––––––––––
REGIONAL – Last year Mardi Gras on the Merrimack got snowed out. The organizers of the Belleville Roots Music Series had planned a major party, its fourth Mardi Gras celebration with a concert of New Orleans style music. They didn't count on Mother Nature being cruel Photo provided by the Belleville Roots Music Series The New Orleans Suspects in March. So this year, the committee decided to jump ahead five months and hold a Mardi Gras-style celebration in November. They believe there is no better time than now to kick up one's heels to some powerful jazz in the stage room at the Belleville Congregational Church. On Friday night, starting at 8 p.m. Nov. 14, the New Orleans Suspects, a group of some of the most seasoned, highly respected players in Louisiana, will perform at a concert and dance. “It will be quiet a party,” said band manager Barney Kilpatrick. “They come from New Orleans, and

Political Aspirations Have Reared Their Head. Once Again Placing People’s Safety Second. Dear Editor,
After a press conference on June 6, 2014, Governor Patrick promised me a letter within 10 days. It is approaching 3 months. I have heard nothing. Governor Patrick and Attorney General Martha Coakley could elect to put additional pressure on the NRC/FEMA by holding the hearing I officially requested of the NRC during my testimony of December 18, 2013 to stop the extension of Seabrook’s operating license from 2030 to 2050. This hearing would be held before the MA and NH State Police together with the police chiefs within the 10 mile radius of the Seabrook Nuclear Plant to determine and give these traffic experts the opportunity to testify in their own words and opinions if Seabrook Station had a nuclear disaster on July 3, 4 or 5th could citizens be evacuated in a timely and safe way. Hospitals, nursing homes and all businesses must abide by the law when establishing evacuation standards but Deval Patrick, Martha Coakley and many others in office obviously are willingly to accept the double standard the NRC authorizes for the nuclear industry to use. I notified Governor Patrick, and Attorney General Martha Coakley, that I interviewed over 50 State Troopers and police chiefs within the 10 mile radius of Seabrook Station. Additionally, I spoke with many fire chiefs and other first responders in their command. In all cases I keep getting the same responses, if there is ever a accident at the Seabrook Nuclear Plant we are all a goner.” During one of these interviews, I spoke with a state trooper who still serve Massachusetts after 30 years. In the course of our conversations, this individual made a very troubling statement. “Are you aware,” the person said, “Governor Dukakis placed a gag order on the MA State Police directing us not to make any statements or have any opinions concerning Seabrook’s Evacuation plan?” Why hasn’t Governor Deval Patrick and Attorney General Martha Coakley held a press conference yet to make it very clear to all MA first responders that this gag order and any impression of this kind of inappropriate political pressure will be removed as soon as possible? After hearing about this Gag order, I could not help but recall the experience I had with former Governor Michael Dukakis in August of 1986 when rumors were circulating that the Duke had intentions of running for President of the United States. I saw this developing after 65 % of Rowley voters signed a petition asking Governor Dukakis to denounce and condemn Seabrook’s unworkable Evacuation Plan. After the Rowley Selectmen voted their approval, the New England Media then confronted Dukakis and said, “What about the safety of Rowley Citizens, they live outside but their children attend Triton Regional School which lies inside the 10 mile radius of Seabrook Nuclear Plant?“ Governor Dukakis replied, “I will protect the safety of Rowley citizens whether they are inside or outside the 10 mile radius but I do not have the authority over the NRC because it is a Federal agency.” I am sure his top Political advisor during this time, George Stephanopoulos, now with ABC, told the Duke don’t take Rowley’s issue and make it a national one because you will not have any chance of winning the Presidency if you take on a Federal Agency like the NRC and Governor Sununu’s pro nucleic influence in NH and Washington. I believe this is the main reason Governor Patrick, Attorney General, Coakley and many others I have contacted in MA and NH will not take on a Federal agency like the NRC by even acknowledging this Gag order or endorsing WTP’s call for the NRC hearing before the MA and NH State Police and other first responders because to do so would run the risk any person running for office losing pro nuclear votes during election day, November 4th. It is pretty clear to me and others, including the media, political agendas are far more important than the safety of the very citizens who elected these so called leaders. Stephen B.

they bring it with them.” The New Orleans Suspects will open the fifth season of the successful Belleville Roots Music Series, which has brought a wide variety of performers to the Newburyport area. The organizers booked a Zydeco band for their first concert in 2010. “We love the music,” said organizer Ken Irwin. And because the organizers, church members and the public were disappointed last year that the concert was snowed out, they decided to do “Mardi Gras in the fall,” Irwin said. The Belleville Roots Music Series has three missions: to bring high quality Roots Music to the Newburyport area, to raise funds to restore and maintain the historic 1867 Belleville Meetinghouse and adjacent Fiske Chapel complex on High Street, and to build a stronger community through music. The New Orleans Suspects began playing together in 2009 as a pick-up band at one of New Orleans' most famous music venues, the Maple Leaf bar on Oak Street in the Carrollton neighborhood of Uptown New Orleans. The group, which plays traditional New Orleans music, called itself initially The Unusual Suspects, as in “Round
up the usual suspects” from the movie Casablanca. They each came from other famous bands, but soon developed their own chemistry. They started touring in 2011, when they renamed the band. In the last three years they have released two CDs. “This is a pretty amazing collection of musicians,” Kilpatrick said. “They are very, very talented.” “Mean” Willie Green was the drummer for the Neville Brothers for more than 30 years and has recorded with The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Edie Brickell. Bass player Reggie Scanlan played with The Radiators, the longest running rock act in the history of New Orleans. He also spent much of the 1970s in the bands of legends, James Booker, Professor Longhair and Earl King and brings many of their crowd pleasing tunes to the Suspects. Jake Eckert was the lead guitarist in the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. While living in Los Angeles he played in the band New Soul Underground along with jazz great Larry Carlton. He has performed with some of the biggest names in the business, including Warren Haynes, Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, and Dave Matthews. CR Gruver is a classically trained

in 1991 to manage the property. The NRA was fromed in 1968 to help the urban renewal program clear the waterfront of decaying buildings that blocked access for the public. The NRA, which also owns 4 acres on the waterfront, has been the lightning rod in recent years because it proposed to build three, three-story, multi-use buildings on its land to generate revenue to improve the rest of the park and particularly its parking lots. The two organizations have disagreements, including one boundary issue that involves a half acre of waterfront, which are not likely to be resolved soon. Bob Uhlig, a new member of the NRA, presented to the Trust members the beginnings of a plan to trim and remove a large number of trees on both the Waterfront and NRA properties. Working with an arborist, Uhlig said there are a large number of diseased trees that need to be removed. Others need to be trimmed extensively to create more sunlight in the park for other trees and vegetation. It was too early in the examination of the trees to determine what trees would replace those being removed, but that was on the minds of several Trust board members. “We need to come up with a replacement plan, not just a removal plan,” Brown said. Both boards have scheduled a field trip to the waterfront at 8 a.m. on Nov. 1 to look at the trees. The public is invited to join them in their examination. The trees on the waterfront have

been neglected for 35 years, Brown said. “We have done little to preserve the trees.” Salemi said the trees are an issue. “This should have been done a long time ago.” He praised Uhlig for taking on the project and bringing his expertise to the tree issue. The NRA and Trust may also have to work together on bringing lights for the Waterfront's parking lot beside the new Ale House. The Trust has agreed with Joe Leoni, owner of the Ale House, to renovate the parking lot and buy five lights that Leoni will install along a walkway between the parking lot and the new restaurant. One challenge is to lay underground power lines to light the new fixtures. Some of the wiring may have to cross NRA land. The Trust will decide in coming months the type of light fixtures that it will buy for Leoni to install. Box lights, like ones the city installed in the renovated Green Street parking lot, would be the least expensive, about $25,000 for the lights, not including the laying of the lines. The most popular lights were the antique lights in the stuyle of those that line the streets of downtown. They would be the most expensive, at $55,000 for five lights. Uhlig, an architect, cast his personal vote for the downtown-style lights. The NRA board member told the Trust board that he has identified three opportunities where the NRA may put seating areas and picnic tables on areas that are part of the gravel parking lots. One area would be adjacent to Merrimac Street. One would be in the

CHILD ENRICHMENT Can We Change the Culture of Youth Sports?
Youth sports are, and should always be, a valuable experience, filled with challenges, competition and fun. But preventable injuries sideline too many young athletes; in 2013, 1.24 million kids sustained a sports injury severe enough to go to the emergency room. New research suggests that the current culture of sports may be leading to unnecessary injuries. A new report, "Changing the Culture of Youth Sports," published by Safe Kids Worldwide, with the support of Johnson & Johnson, reveals an alarming number of young athletes are injured as a result of dirty play. The survey of 1,000 young athletes, 1,000 coaches and 1,000 parents also found that young athletes
are hiding injuries to stay in the game and parents are pressuring coaches to play injured athletes. Based on the results of the survey, Safe Kids recommends parents, coaches and players take three steps to change the culture in youth sports so kids can stay in the game. 1. Put an end to dirty play. One in four young athletes reported it is normal to commit hard fouls and play rough to "send a message" during a game. This norm leads to a disturbing number of injuries: 33 percent of athletes report being hurt as the result of "dirty play" by an opponent. Sports teach valuable lessons and should be competitive and entertaining, but we must move away from a "winning at all costs" mentality that is actually detrimental to the health and development of young athletes. 2. Give coaches the training they need and want. One in four coaches reported they don't take any specific actions to prevent sports injuries. Less than half of coaches say they have received certification
on how to prevent and recognize sports injuries. More training for coaches could help ensure that they are well versed in the proper techniques for top performance and injury prevention. 3. Teach young athletes to speak up when they are injured. About 42 percent of players reported they have hidden or downplayed an injury during a game so they could keep playing. The phrases "taking one for the team," "suck it up" and "playing through the pain" should be removed from the dialogue. At the end of the day, young players must feel it's OK to tell coaches, parents and other players that they've been hurt and it's time to sit it out. "Changing the culture in sports isn't about limiting kids," says Kate Carr, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide. "It's about creating an atmosphere where our young athletes can compete, have fun and reach their full potential. Working together, we can keep our kids active, strong and safe so they can enjoy the sports they love for a lifetime." To learn more about how parents, coaches and young athletes can work together to prevent injuries, download the report and infographic at www.safekids.org.

Last week I introduced an online column entitled “Your Dentist May Be Ripping You Off. Here’s How to Avoid That”. The author, the son of a retired dentist as I have learned, offers 7 suggestions to avoid the “scam”. The information in the column is interesting, especially knowing that it came from someone who not only has indirect experience, but also did some fair research. I think each point is worth its own discussion. The first point we examined last week was, “You probably don’t need all your fillings ripped out and replaced.” If you missed that, you can find it at www. thetowncommon.com. This week we are looking at the suggestion “Beware of practices that offer deals to get you in the door.”

The Dental Scam – Part 2
The author says, “The dental practices that advertise heavily and offer deals – like a free cleaning or whitening – often do so simply to get you in the door, so they can prescribe you a big treatment plan for work you may or may not need. Disproportionately, they are corporate-owned national chains.” As a patient, you have to be an informed consumer. In the quote above, the word “need” must be distinguished from the word “want”. Patients have treatment they need but there is also treatment that many want. In general, we (dentists included) are all in sales. This is confirmed by a book I recently read by Dan Pink entitled, “To Sell is Human”. I highly recommend it. To feel in a trusted environment, the dentist must be able to convey, in understandable terms to a patient, what is “needed” but may also educate the patient on things that are possible. Those that are possible may be things the patient ends up wanting and not necessarily needing. There is nothing wrong with that. This goes back to the word I introduced last week - “codiagnosis”. You the patient need to be a part of the diagnosis and decision making process. You should not allow anyone to do anything to you without understanding why it’s being done, what the benefits and risks are, and that it is something you consent to do, regardless of whether you “need” or “want” it.
The advertising-driven, offerbased practices are trying to “sell” their practices to you. There is nothing wrong with that either. What matters is how you feel when you are there. Do you feel pressured to do dental work or has the time been taken to allow you to be part of the process? How you feel in a particular practice is really all you have to go on as a patient. So, how do you find a dental office that you’ll feel good about? The author of the column writes, “Most of the dentists I interviewed recommended finding a dentist through word-of-mouth, rather than relying on advertisements.” Unless you have the time to interview a bunch of dental offices, the suggestion above seems most reasonable to me. Even the web, which has dramatically changed the way we get our information, is today’s inexpensive form of advertising. Next week we will look at some products, such as fluoride treatments, nightguards and sealants, which the author says dental offices push on patients and are often unnecessary. As always, I welcome your comments. 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.

Rowley, MA - Sharon (Byrne) McGowan, 54, of Rowley, died Thursday, October 23, 2014 at her home with her husband and dog at her side. She was born August 5, 1960 in Greenwich, CT to Dr. Robert Byrne and the late Alice Byrne. Sharon was a Wesleyan College graduate, absolutely loving that experience. Sharon started her medical career in Boston and married her husband Philip McGowan in 1985; together they shared 30 years of marriage. Changing careers to work outdoors, Sharon was a proud member of Ironworkers Local 7 for 20 years. Sharon worked extensively on what is now the TD Garden and Zakim Bridge. Two hobbies Sharon developed enviable skills in were; early 80’s VW diesel rabbit restorations, and fine woodworking, two complete kitchen renovations and many custom pieces were created. Birding was an activity Sharon and Philip enjoyed together, twice venturing to Texas and luckily discovering, rarely seen in US, a Golden-cheeked Warbler. Diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma brain tumor in 2012, Sharon was released two days after surgery. She worked full time at Masconomet High School through her radiation and chemotherapy treatments before resigning several months later. This past year after complaining about increased fatigue Sharon was diagnosed with advanced cancer throughout. Despite incredible pain Sharon continued to pursue her hobbies with as much energy as she could muster. In addition to her father and husband she is survived by her brother, Robert Byrne; aunts, Isabelle Farrington and Theresa Thomas; 6 nieces and nephews, and many loving cousins. Sharon will forever be remembered for her love of life, learning and accomplishments. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Interment will be private. Assistance with arrangements was by the Cremation Society by the Sea, Hampton, NH. www.CremationsByTheSea.org.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Caution dominates the Sheep's monetary aspect this week. Rams and Ewes might want to shear their big spending plans until a more favorable financial picture begins to emerge by week's end. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Thrift counts both at home and at work. So you might want to rethink major purchases or investments. Also, be wary of a so-called revelation about a previous decision. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Both household budgets and workplace accounts might benefit from some judicious trimming of unnecessary expenses. A partnership could lead to an unexpected challenge. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A previously overlooked opportunity could reemerge with a new travel-related matter. Check this out carefully to see if it's what you really want before you decide one way or another. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be the start of a new career-changing phase, so start marking down your many accomplishments for those who need to know how much you have to offer. Good luck. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It's not too early for the sometimes procrastinating Virgo to start making those long-distance travel plans. The sooner you decide where to go, when to go and how to go, the better. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Financial matters once again figure in any

major action you might take regarding career, travel or other endeavors. You'll want a ready reserve to help you back up those moves. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Trying to resolve a problem in a personal relationship could be more difficult than you'd expected. Look into the possibility that someone might be interfering for his or her own reasons. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A project you once rejected might be more attractive because of changes that you feel you can now work with. The weekend is especially favorable to family matters. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This is a good week for the gregarious Goat to enjoy being with people you care for. You might even want to show off those creative kitchen skills you're so adept at. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A colleague might think your attitude is patronizing or even outright insulting. True. That might be his or her problem. But you might want to take some reassuring steps anyway. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It's a good time to jettison those old concepts about a family matter you might have been holding on to. This will help make room for a new and more enlightened way of dealing with it. BORN THIS WEEK: You like to analyze a puzzling situation before you try to resolve it. This makes you excel at getting things done the right way. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
