TRITON – The urgency for Triton School District to build a new athletic stadium was underscored last week when the Newbury Building Inspector declared the bleachers on both sides of the field unsafe. The bleachers, built in 1969, were roped off with yellow tape and boards blocked the staircases. Orange signs from the Newbury Building Department said, “Do Not Enter.” Superintendent Christopher Farmer made the announcement that the badly deteriorating bleachers were condemned and would not be used again until repairs are made or they are replaced.. “The timing of the problem will be particularly disappointing for the boys' soccer team, whose seniors celebrate Senior Night this evening, and for the field hockey team which plays in their state tournament this afternoon,” Farmer wrote in his message last week. The school district will review the situation and establish its course of action to maintain a safe environment for athletes and spectators and enable the high school to maintain its annual program of events, Farmer wrote. The superintendent told the school committee that the main field is in a bad state of disrepair and is too small for many sports. Its long grass and tight quarters are dangerous for teams to play on. The track is in such bad shape that it has not been used for three years. And when someone sat on the bleachers recently a six-inch splinter stabbed them, which almost resulted in a law suit. “We’ve been asking our student athletes always to have their meet on somebody else’s turf,” Farmer said. “I would have grave reservations about actually allowing students to Continued on page 3

They believe that the investment in foam will substantially cut the house's high monthly energy bills. And they should know. Materkowski is the president and Lord is the general manager of the Green Cocoon, an eightyear-old insulation company.

Last summer my cousin, Helen Fuller, and I were in your lovely town to make our annual pilgrimage to the Rowley Town Cemetery. Helen's mother, Margaret Kneeland Smith, and my parents, Foster and Ethel Kneeland, along with many other family members including our grandparents are buried in the town cemetery. While there we decided to visit the library and were curious about the memorial donations made to the library in her name, and how the library might have decided to use the donations. We were very pleasantly surprised to learn that not only had the donations been used for the childrens' room as designated, but that a beautiful memorial plaque with Margaret's photo on it has been placed in the childrens' section. We were also told that the puppet theater and puppets purchased with the donated funds were the favorite entertainment for children. As we left the library, my cousin had tears in her eyes as she reflected on how happy her mother would be to know that the children, who she always delighted in, enjoyed a special place in your wonderful library. I've enclosed to photos, one of the memorial plaque of my Aunt Margaret and the other of my cousin, Helen, Margaret's daughter, at the puppet theater. Perhaps you can publish them in your newspaper. Very sincerely, Florence E. McNeilly.

play on the fields that we have.� The School Committee held a special meeting last month to approve the use of gate receipts to fund the planning and design stage of the new stadium. Estimates are that the new stadium will cost $3,135,000, of which about $2,335,000 will be needed to complete it. The school district, which serves the towns of Newbury, Rowley and Salisbury, is proposing to ask each town to approve its portion of the funding at their town meetings next spring. It would cost each town about $65,000 per year for 15 years. Opposition to funding the stadium costs could be stiff from the towns, which traditionally resist spending increases for the school district. Private fundraising efforts, ongoing for the last two years, have failed to raise the needed money. The Institution for Savings pledged $525,000, and the non-profit organization Triton Education Foundation received pledges of
about $375,000 towards the Team Triton Stadium Project. “The TEF folks have worked their tails off,� Assistant Superintendent Brian Forget told the school committee. “As a small, core group, they tried to build their ranks. They’ve tried to build excitement. Students have tried, coaches have tried, and at the end of the day the TEF, in my estimation, is too small a group to take on a project of this size.� Gale Associates, which has extensive experience in high school stadium development projects, has been contracted by the school committee to undertake the planning and design phase. It is expected that the company will also assist the management of the construction phase of the project. William Seymour of Gale Associates said current plans call for the track to be widened and rebuilt to allow for a larger field, the grass to be replaced with an astroturf-like surface, the bleachers replaced with aluminum and steel for 1,500 people and restrooms and a concessions

and reducing our use of fossil fuels), insulating with thick layers of spray foams often results in long 'payback periods' for the global warming potential of the insulation, mainly due to the most commonly used blowing agents,� the company web site says. Honeywell has found a solution to this problem. It has created a new blowing agent called Solstice that has far less of a negative impact on global warming than other blowing agents. Current blowing agents can stay in the atmosphere for almost 11 years. Solstice stays in the air only 26 days, according to Honeywell. “We are very excited to be installing spray foams with this new technology. Now, not only will you lower your carbon footprint by having an air-tight and well insulated home, but you can rest assured that the initial application of the product will not harm the environment,� the company says. The company did its first insulation job on Ring's Island in Salisbury. Since then the Green Cocoon, started by the late Peter Strattner and Materkowski, has grown in size seven-fold. One of its bigger clients is Gorman Homes, which is building new homes in Amesbury's Riverview Heights community. “I guess they (Green Cocoon) has sprayed foam in at least half the homes we have built,� said Jack Gorman. “I'd recommend them to anyone. They are a good company.� Green Cocoon started by insulating with spray foam and fiberglass. Today, its four crews,
working from Maine to Cape Cod, will also install cellulose, mineral wool and even recycled denim. Under the International Building Codes, all new homes must have spray foam. Fiberglass is banned. For insulating older homes, the company uses cellulose to fill the smaller cavities. Made from recycled paper, cellulose will not expand like foam does and crack the interior walls. For dampening noise and as a fire retardant material, Green Cocoon uses mineral wool. “We are in it to do what's right,� Lord said. “We want to sleep at night.� Green Cocoon is a young company. Materkowski is 31. Lord is 30. “I am not a tree hugger,� she said. “But we want to slow down the global warming threat.� Insulation is a big part of reducing the carbon footprint of homes. And many older homes have little, if any insulation. “I want people to know how important insulation is, particularly for those who live in the house after you she said. But insulating a house or commercial building is not cheap. Just insulating an attic may cost as much as $10,000. So Green Cocoon offers financing, including one year with no interest charged. It works with the utility companies to provide discounts and rebates on the installing insulation. “We don't want people not to insulate because of the costs,� she said.

Providing Inclusive & Effective Clinical Care to LGBT Seniors “…..with an in-depth focus on transgender members of the aging community”
FREE 2 CEU’s for Social Work Have been applied for to ASWB
Presented by Asher Bruskin, MSW intern at AIDS Action Committee, Boston DATE/TIME: Friday November 7, 2014 Registration 7:30am, Program 8-10am. LOCATION: Andover Council on Aging 36 Bartlet St, Andover, MA 01810
LGBT seniors and aging baby boomers have only just begun to access equal rights and continue to face discrimination and stigma, especially as they find themselves increasingly relying on support and care from agencies outside of LGBT community. As clinical care providers, we are often the link between Individuals and agencies, which puts us in a vital position to support and build trust with our clients while also helping our agencies continue to work towards building safe and inclusive environments. This training will help participants gain an understanding of LGBT identities while offering "best practice" approaches to working with LGBT seniors and their support networks. This training will also go into depth on the topic of gender identity and the ways it differs from sexual orientation, including speaking to the growing visibility of transgender and gender non-conforming seniors and the issues they often face.

drastically," says chef Leslie Eckert of The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Raleigh-Durham, a campus of South University. "Otherwise, you won't achieve the comfort in comfort food." Here are tips and simple guidelines chefs Eckert and Ciotta recommend. * Choose whole grains over refined: brown rice, whole grain bread, whole grain pasta instead of white rice, white bread or standard pasta. Whole grains digest more slowly, providing longer-lasting energy. * Use small amounts of olive oil instead of butter on grains or vegetables and to saute. A nonaerosol spray bottle can help use oil sparingly. * Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products: skim or 1 percent milk, low-fat or fat-free yogurts, sour cream and cheeses - and reduce the amount. * Choose Canadian bacon or lean ham over bacon, wild-caught, fresh or water-packed tuna or salmon over oil-packed tuna or salmon, chicken and turkey sausage over pork sausage and lean ground turkey and beef over high-fat options. * Use herbs, flavored powders (like
garlic powder), citrus (like lemon juice) and heat (like red pepper or hot sauces) over extra salt. * Instead of frying, bake, roast or grill using a rub or marinade. * Use fresh or frozen vegetables over canned. Remember that frozen vegetables are harvested at peak season and usually flash-frozen, making them superior in flavor and nutrients to off-season fresh ones. * Remember - using low-fat or fat-free dairy products, olive oil, whole grains or lean meats doesn't mean unlimited portions. According to chef Eckert, highfat, high-sugar foods - such as comfort foods - illicit "feel good" hormones quicker than a plate of raw vegetables. To make your holidays healthier, you can always add vegetables to a hearty dish. Chef Ciotta cites one of her favorites as creamy risotto with broccoli. You're still getting the hearty dish, but at the very least, you're adding something healthy with fiber. Many experts say that you don't have to give up your comforting favorites in order avoid weight gain. It just takes planning and portion control, and substitution of course.

CHILD ENRICHMENT Four Ways to Spark Creativity in your Children
As colder months roll in, your children will spend more time indoors so you'll need to be equipped with indoor activities that will capture their imagination and foster their creativity. Here are a few activities you can do with your kids and keep them active: GET COOKING Bring out the baker in your child. Invite them into the kitchen to create a fantastic treat for the entire family. Encourage them to help you pick out a recipe, gather all the ingredients and assign the appropriate tasks. Younger children will love mixing, sifting, and sorting, while older kids can try pouring or cutting ingredients. Leave some room for
experimenting, adding tasty imaginative ingredients that are not in the recipe. The best part will be enjoying your creation and spending time together as a family. BUILD WITH BLOCKS We've all grown up with building blocks. Some of us still haven't grown out of them. Construction toys are fun for the entire family and a great way to spend time together. Younger kids will love themed sets like Mega Bloks Barbie Build 'n Play Fab Mansion or Mega Bloks SpongeBob SquarePants Krusty Krab Attack. Older kids, and even dad, will love authentic collector's sets based on popular video games. Encourage your children to build freely, letting their imagination inspire them to create unique projects. You never know, you may just be looking at the next great architect or engineer. PUT ON A SHOW Who's got talent in your family? Best way to find out is to put on a show and let everyone act out. Break the ice with a game of charades or put on a talent show to get the entire family singing and
dancing. Encourage your little stars with a standing ovation and give them the confidence to pursue their talent. You may have the next popstar in your living room and you may not even know it. CREATE A WORK OF ART Everyone has an artistic side so show your children all the creative activities they can do - painting, sculpting, drawing, etc. See what interests them and give them the instruments to experiment. A fun new customizable tool for kids is the Graphic Skinz Design Studio by RoseArt. It lets them personalize small household objects, like jewelry or a plastic toy, and transforms them into unique works of art. By using a vacuum chamber and the assortment of colorful papers, kids can create one-of-a-kind gifts for family and friends, at home. The best indoor activities pull the kids away from the screen and into a social environment where they stay active and develop their creative skills. You and your children will look back at these times together with fond memories. Take a lot of pictures and be sure to keep the activities fresh and new. To learn more about how Mega Bloks can develop your child's creativity, visit http://www.megabloks.com/en-us. German Conversation Wanted I speak intermediate level non-native German and have traveled there several times. I am looking to meet regularly for fun conversation and friendship over coffee or tea.

Seniors Want to Work
According to a study released by Merrill Lynch, seniors don't really want to completely retire. Nearly three-quarters of us want our retirement years to include work. Given the economy, it would seem an easy guess that we would keep working not because we want to, but because we need the money. But that's not necessarily so, per the study. Five years before retiring, 37 percent of us already have taken steps to having a career after retirement. Half of us do take a break between official retirement and the next career. The break lasts for two years. We then spend the next nine years or so finding a balance between work and leisure, with most of us opting for parttime work. A third of us become self-employed. The study addresses myths about us: â&#x20AC;˘ Retirement means the end of work. Not so. Fully 80 percent of respondents said they work because they want to. â&#x20AC;˘ Retirement is a time of
decline. No, again. The majority said that work keeps them young and holds off physical and mental decline. â&#x20AC;˘ People work past retirement age because they need the money. Twice as many said they work to stay active, not for the money. â&#x20AC;˘ Retirees who work keep the same type of career. No, over half have switched to new types of work, preferably with more fun and less stress. Do the working retired have any advice for us? Yes. Be willing to try new things, do something you enjoy even if it pays less, and keep up with technology. To see the whole study, go online

Real Estate • For Sale
Emotional Mistakes • Sports • Sports Sports By John McCarthy, Rowley Realty Anyone who has been through it knows that being objective when selling your home is challenging. We currently have a seller who has been negatively affected by a low offer. The buyer has “insulted” them with an offer well below their asking price. A low initial offer isn’t uncommon and after a long negotiation we were able to get the buyer to come up to an acceptable price. However, that didn’t help my seller to look at these buyers as simply ones who tried to get the best deal possible for themselves. It As a seller you must be able to disconnect emotionally from your home. You can’t let your decision-making be driven by emotion. If you understand what the potential emotional traps are, you can recognize and correct those tendencies before they sabotage your ability to sell your home. Here are a few of the emotional mistakes sellers should avoid: 1. Taking it Personal: The simple fact is you are probably not going to get everything you want when you sell. However, neither is the buyer. For a successful sale, you will have to find common ground. If you choose to get offended and emotional because of what the buyer is asking for than you might just end up ruining a potential sale. That doesn’t mean you have to agree to all of the buyer’s demands, but try to take the advice of your experienced REALTOR® who has seen this all before and can point out what is a reasonable request and what isn’t. You should also try to see your home as an object, not the place where you fondest memories took place. Easier said than done when a buyer is telling you the home has all sorts of issues. They are point this out to drive the price down, not to offend. Think about it; if they didn’t like your home they wouldn’t make an offer or in most cases even bother to tell you what is wrong with it. 2. Separation Anxiety: It is natural for you to have an emotional attachment to your home. Let me fill you in on something though… buyers don’t care. They are looking at the home as an object and trying to attach a value. Sellers who price the home too high by ignoring comparable sales and ignore the advice of their REALTOR® tend to be sellers for quite some time. 3. Walk in Their Shoes: When my sister and I were kids and out with my mother and we came across a kid that was bullied or heard a story about an underprivileged family she used to say, “You are both very lucky, put yourselves in their place”. If you are selling, take a step back and look at the situation occasionally from the buyer’s standpoint. You may find
that your positions on some things aren’t as reasonable as you thought. 4. What’s the Market: All sellers should listen and view the comparable sales that your REALTOR® has chosen. Make him or her tell you why they chose that particular sale. Your REALTOR® should be able to prove to you that your home is worth what they are telling you it is worth. Often times I sit with sellers who come up with their own number they want to sell their home for. This number is often based on what they want to get out of it. This ignores the home’s true market value. This thought process of I need to sell my home for $300,000 so I can buy the home down the street we like for $500,000 is flawed. A buyer doesn’t care what you need to get out of the home; they are not going to pay over market value, and even if they are, their bank appraisal won’t support that value. If you are not willing to list your home at a reasonable market value, then maybe it isn’t the right time to sell. 5. Improvements and the Past: Sellers who base their listing price on what they bought it for or add the costs of improvements they made is also a mistake. The buyer doesn’t care what you need for the next house and they don’t care you paid $300,000 for your home in 2008 and added $25,000 in upgrades. If the comparable properties on the market are selling for $280,000, then that’s what buyers will expect to pay. Sorry, that might be rough to here but it is the truth. 6. Change It!: Pricing. Price your home right. Lots of times we as REALTORS® hear “Let’s start higher, I can always come down”. True, you can. However you might end up sitting on the sidelines while homes that are priced comparatively are sold. In the spring this year the market was white hot. Unfortunately that market cooled as the summer came, so if you put your home on the market at the end of the spring season and found no buyers you needed to change your price. If you didn’t change it you ended up being ignored. There is a price that will attract buyers. Find it with the help of your REALTOR®. Don’t hesitate to change your price if the need arises. Again, take the emotion out of it and listen to what your REALTOR® has to say. 7. When!: The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) puts a clock on each listing. It tells prospective buyers how long a home as sat on the market. The more days your home sits on the market the more likely you are going to get lower offers. The thought being is that you are desperate and
willing to accept a lower than market offer. This mistake goes right in line with the previous paragraph. Price your home reasonably and it won’t sit. Studies show that homes priced competitively sell quicker and for more than homes priced high, which then languish on the market, rack up days on market, and then finally lower their price to market value. The sale of your home can be an emotional roller coaster and the goal of a selling REALTOR® should be to get the best price and terms for the seller while working as a buffer between the emotional seller and the non-emotional buyer. The home you are selling is likely your most valuable possession and a place that holds great memories. Remember you can take a check at closing for the value of that possession and just as importantly you take all of the memories you had in that home with you.

The Dental Scam – Part 3
toothpastes. These sorts of products might be helpful for someone who gets a ton of cavities – especially a child, who has teeth that are more capable of absorbing fluoride – but for the vast majority of adults, they’re entirely unnecessary. That’s because there’s already enough fluoride in our drinking water and in over-the-counter toothpastes to prevent cavities in most people.” Unethical dentists? While there are unethical dentists just like there are unethical doctors and plumbers, I would like to believe that the vast majority in any profession are not unethical. Fluoride, while not bulletproof, has a long track record for helping control dental decay. Systemic fluoride, generally found in drinking water to which it has been added, is different from topical fluoride found in toothpastes and other fluoride treatments. While I am not a proponent of adding fluoride to public drinking water for various reasons (a topic for another column), topical fluoride used correctly is very effective in helping control decay for many people. I prescribe a high-fluoride toothpaste for patients, mostly adults, who have shown repeated decay issues or have invested in significant dental work. The toothpaste costs the patient $11. It costs me $10.50 to buy the toothpaste. I recommend the toothpaste as a preventive
measure for those individuals and certainly not as a “profit center”. Fluoride varnishes, those treatments that most children get at their bi-annual hygiene appointments, are generally done through age 14. There is plenty of research to show that this treatment is effective and the most important time to hit the teeth with topical fluoride is when they are newly erupting into the mouth. I agree with the author that this particular fluoride treatment is much less effective for adults. Dental decay is very preventable. The best ways to prevent decay are good dietary habits and effective daily hygiene. Most patients we see who have decay issues have plenty of room for improvement in both categories. For those patients and those older adults who have the ever-increasing problem of dry mouth, prescription-level fluoride can help. Next week I will continue with the author’s claim that “night guards and sealants are often necessary”. Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered family dentistry.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Lots of choices could make it difficult to select what is best for your needs. Avoid snap judgments. Take the time to check them all out to find the one that really meets your goals. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You could once again experience pressure from others who would like to see you move in another direction. But heed your Bovine instincts to stay on your own path. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking charge of a project that seems to be about to stall or collapse altogether could be a challenge. But once everyone knows what you expect of him or her, things should go smoothly. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Avoid the pressures of the upcoming holiday period by setting a time right now to discuss how to divide up the responsibility of helping a loved one come through a difficult period. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It's not too early for all you Leonas and Leos to start making long-distance travel plans. The sooner you stop procrastinating and start deciding where, when and how you're going, the better. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone you've known for years might disappoint you, or even make you feel you've been betrayed. But check the facts carefully before you make charges that could backfire on you. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A holiday plan might need to be revised

to accommodate an unexpected complication. Come up with an alternative arrangement as soon as possible to avoid more problems down the line. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Don't accept halfway explanations for a situation that requires full disclosure. The more you know now, the better able you will be to handle any complications that might arise. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The cooperation you relied upon might not be easy to get. Maybe there's an information gap. See if everyone understands the situation. If not, be sure to offer a full explanation. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Problems caused by that recent workplace distraction should soon be easing, allowing you to resume working at a less frantic pace. That personal matter also begins to ease up. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Changing your mind about a job decision isn't easy for the usually committed Aquarian. But once you check it out, you'll find facts you didn't know before. And facts don't lie. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your unique way of sizing up a situation gives you an edge in resolving that upsetting workplace problem. Stay on your current course regardless of any attempts to distract you. BORN THIS WEEK: You are emotionally attuned to what's going on around you, and you easily pick up on people's needs.
