Paddle boarding has become a popular event at Salisbury Beach.

SALISBURY – Since New England ship captains helped colonized the Hawaiian islands in the late 18th Century, bringing Christianity and Anglo traditions to the polynesian kingdom, it would seem appropriate that the Hawaiians would return the favor by sending to New England – and specifically Salisbury Beach – a new sporting craze, called standup paddle boarding. A cross between surfing and kayaking, standup paddle boarding is the newest wave in open ocean recreation. As the name suggests, one stand ups on a paddle board while rowing with a long paddle through ocean waves and currents. Standup paddle boarding only came to Salisbury Beach about a year ago, when the newly formed,

non-profit Atlantic Paddle Boarding Association staged its first competitions. Elite racers competed for a $5,000 prize. On June 30, the association, which is headquartered here, will host its second race series with a double header. Like when the Boston Red Sox are rained out, they play a double header the next day. So too do paddle boarders who were rained out during the first weekend this month. The prize money has quadrupled in a year. Sponsored by REVO Sunglasses, participants in this summer-long, six-race series will compete to win $20,000 in cash and other prizes. The 2012 Atlantic Paddle Battle Race Series will continue at Salisbury Beach on July 14.

NEWBURYPORT – Almost every day a woman dropped by the Council of Aging office here and just sat for hours talking with people who came in or those who worked there. Seeing her happily sitting in the office every day prompted Roseann Robillard, the COA director, to suggest to her board that they start a DropIn program for any senior who wanted to come there as a remedy for being lonely. “It is our most successful program,” Robillard said. “It is standing room only in there.” The seniors, many of whom have no family nearby, come to talk with others who have not heard their life stories, or at least not since the day before, Robillard jokes. The problem for the successful program has been where to put them. For the first few months the seniors gathered for the Drop In program in a TV room at the

center, but the Salvation Army, which owns the building, needed the room for a youth program. That meant the seniors had to move to other space in the cramped building. Now they meet in a conference room. “It is not ideal,” Robillard said. But soon, thanks to the voters last week who approved a debt limit override, the seniors will have their own space. And Robillard said her department will end its years of what she calls “a nomadic” existence in providing space for the senior programs. The COA offers many of its programs in the Salvation Army building, where it leases space for $1,200 a month. But some programs have to go elsewhere. The senior exercise programs are held at the Elks Club. Private counseling programs are often in churches, at City Hall and now in Robillard's office. Continued on page 3

Dear Editor,

This letter is in response to the Rev. Dr. Bob Gallagher with respect to his disagreement with the Salisbury Beach Citizens for Change. This group does not, in any way, want to circumvent the State Sanitary Code. We want safe, clean, and well-kept properties and we have been doing that for many years without inspections. What we do object to is the Board of Health (Town of Salisbury) putting us at the mercy of outside inspectors who can subject us to what amounts to a shakedown. After paying $100 per unit for the initial inspection, if one violation is found, no matter how small, the unit must be reinspected for an additional $45 (per unit), every year. While it is nice to say that we must all adhere to the State Sanitary Code, a 35 page document, a building can be safe and clean without meeting all of the strict requirements of the code, which is especially difficult for an older building. In reality, if a building is older than five years, it probably no longer meets everything in the Sanitary Code. It should be noted, also, that all housing must meet the sanitary code, even single family, owner occupied. When will the BOH start inspecting them? We feel we do not need outside inspectors to tell us what we need to do to with our properties. The free market will dictate that. If a tenant is aggrieved, he or she can file a complaint with the Board of Health, not renew the lease, or move out. If a property is too bad, no one should rent it. Most owners of summer rentals open the property in mid-April or May and work on them until the rental season begins in June. Some even begin renting Memorial Day. The property must be “rental ready” for the inspection. This does not leave time between the opening of the building and the first rental for the inspections to be done (and redone). You say that you have lived in Salisbury for one year. You have no idea what we have been through for the past 30 years. Why do you think the Salisbury Beach Betterment Association was formed? It was not just about planting flowers. The “BOH behavior” that you mention refers to the fact that, when we went to the Board of Health for the public hearing with our concerns, we were virtually ignored. In addition, the Town Manager, Mr. Harrington, called us absentee landlords. In fact, every one who was there is either a town resident or rents out their unit(s) in an owner-occupied cottage. I would like to know this: Why do you feel the need to tell us what is good for ourselves? Charles Takesian

Seniors Get A New Home

Robillard has long dreamed of having a senior center – much like the one in Salisbury or the new facility in Amesbury – where seniors could come for exercise in the morning, stay for the DropIn program and have lunch. Last week the voters came out in droves to say yes to spending money to build a new Bresnahan elementary school, renovate the Nock Middle School and build a new 16,000-square-foot senior center. Almost 45 percent of all voters went to the polls. Funding for the senior/community center passed by a vote of 3,209 to 2,495. “It was a wonderful shot in the arm,” Robillard said. “It let us know that the community supports and respects the greatest generation.” The voters approved spending $6.5 million on the new senior center, but Robillard said the Friends of the Newburyport

Council on Aging will begin this week to plan raising the money. “They couldn't get into high gear until after the vote,” she said. Every dollar raised for the new building is one less that the taxpayers have to contribute, she said. Now they can start talking with the bank foundations and other generous donors about funding the new center. Some will make large enough donations to earn the right to name the building, individual rooms and equipment, she said. With the new building, which will be completed in about three years, the COA will go from having too little room that is often shared with other groups to space that is too large and can be rented out and shared with other groups. Thus the building, which will be on the site of the current Bresnahan School off High Street, will be both a senior

Could Fish Oil Help In Treating Gum Disease? Periodontitis, inflammation of the tissue surrounding the teeth, affects more than half of adults and is linked to an increased risk of stroke and other heart problems. To evaluate whether fish oil supplementation could be an adjunct therapy for periodontitis, Dr Alison Coates from the University of South Australia and colleagues from the School of Dentistry at University of Adelaide in Australia reviewed evidence from eight unique studies that involved humans. Their review of these studies showed that improvements in clinical measures were common in all studies, but were scientifically significant in two that used a combination of fish oil and aspirin. Although this is not conclusive evidence, intake of fish oil is recommended for health benefits beyond the teeth. Could Too Much Sugar Be Bad For More Than Your Teeth? Dentists have long warned that too

much sugar can rot a person’s teeth, but scientists at UCLA have discovered evidence that too much soda and candy could also rot a person’s brain. The study, which was published in the Journal of Physiology, discovered how a diet that is “steadily high” in fructose can slow down the function of the brain, impairing memory and learning ability, the Los Angeles-based university said in a May 15 press release. Those adverse effects, they say, can emerge in as little as six weeks, but can be counteracted to some degree by adding omega-3 fatty acids to one’s diet. Why Can’t I Grow New Teeth? Prickly pufferfish could hold the key to why humans do not continually replace their teeth and may lead to advances in dental therapies. New research focusing on tooth development in the deadly fish— unchanged through evolution— shows that after the first generation of teeth the program for continued tooth replacement modifies to form a distinctive and unusual ‘parrot like’ beak. The study, which is the first time scientists have analyzed the development of the fish’s unique beak, also supports the idea that evolution doesn’t make jumps, as its’ distinctive bite has been modified from a set of genes responsible for tooth development and

preserved over 400 million years. Arthritis Link To Gum Disease? Research indicates that patients with rheumatoid arthritis are nearly eight times more likely to have periodontal disease. May was Arthritis Awareness Month, and the New Jersey Society of Periodontists (NJSP) issued a press release regarding the link between periodontal disease, a chronic inflammatory disease of the gums, and rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints. “The common denominator here is the inflammatory aspect of both diseases,” explains Dr Scott Zirkin, president of the NJSP. “Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that stimulates an inflammatory response, which in turn imposes a burden on a person’s immune system. Over time, sustained inflammation can lead to the destruction of connective tissue and bone tissue. This destruction affects both teeth and joints.” Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered family dentistry.

Real Estate • For Sale Summer Safety Tips • Sports • Sports Sportsfor the Homestead know that you will be away and that you are not expecting any visitors so that they may call the police about suspicious activity around your home. (Your REALTOR®, however, is NOT to be carted away) 5. Al doors, windows, garages and sheds should have working locks. 6. Be sure the automatic garage door has been completely closed as you leave. 7. Make one last trip around the home to be sure all sliding glass doors, side doors, bulkheads etc are locked and secured. 8. Store ladders securely away in locked garage or shed so that they can not be used to access the home. 9. Use timers for selected lights or outdoor water sprinklers to make it appear that someone is home. 10. Mow the lawn one last time just before you leave. (Tall grass suggests that the homeowner may be away). 11. Put bright lights over porches and walk ways in front and back yards. 12. Do not leave any toys, tools or equipment in the yard. Have the time of your good lives this summer and come home to your properties refreshed and happy. For those of you whose homes are on the market, just come home ready to close!

You have waited all year and it's time to relax away from home. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, however, statistics show that July and August are the busiest months for burglars who love your being away almost as much as you do. There are many ways to avoid becoming a victim of these menacing threats to our homes and lives. Here are some tips from the FBI, The Home Safety Council and this REALTOR® that may serve to keep your homes secure while you enjoy much deserved time away: 1. Do not leave recorded messages that you are "out of town". 2. Do not leave any key anywhere except in the hand of your REALTOR®, a trusted friend or family member who will bring in your mail and any periodicals or newspapers while you are away. 3. Keep bushes, shrubs and any plantings trimmed under windows so burglars can not hide in them. (If your home is on the market, REALTOR®s don't like hidden burglars at all.) 4. Let your trusted neighbors

Thinking Of Selling? Don’t You Deserve Service Like This? I chose Kathryn due in part to a recommendation from a close friend and her proposal to me when I was interviewing potential real estate agents. She has lived up to every promise she made and more from what I had heard and expected based on the reference. Kathryn’s positive “can do” attitude truly made what had promised to be a daunting and emotional experience for me as stress free as possible. She is knowledgeable about Ipswich’s nuances, was available to me at all times and was pro-active in keeping the process moving forward. Her numerous connections provided me with quality and reliable choices in finding the right companies and individuals to help me to navigate thru town and state regulations and prepare my mother’s home for sale. In this day and age, it is truly unusual to find a person with her expertise who is willing/able to make a client feel like they are the most important client they have. I enjoyed working with her, would hire her should I decide to purchase property in Massachusetts and would definitely be happy to provide her a glowing reference! Also, I would not hesitate to be an advocate of hers to a potential client who was looking for a recommendation for an individual to assist them in either purchasing or selling a home/real estate. I really cannot thank her enough for all her efforts and friendship she extended me since we began this journey. Sincerely, Marcia J. Cowan

PUZZLE ANSWERS

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A recent spate of confusion regarding decision-making begins to clear up. But caution is still advised. Continue to check details. An old friend has important news. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You're anxious to see your ideas move from concept to development. But trying to force the issue right now could backfire. Wait for movement to resume on the 11th. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep your thoughts focused on the positive as you deal with an unexpected turn of events in a personal or professional relationship. This could be the start of a welcome change. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Health matters take on added importance at this time. Deal with them before they interfere with your summer plans. A relationship that cooled off could soon warm up again. LEO (July 23 to August 22) While a few details involving upcoming decisions still need your attention, you fun-loving Felines can begin to spend more time enjoying your lively social life again. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) That long-soughtafter career change could require you to move to another city. Weigh your decision carefully before either accepting or rejecting the offer out of hand.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A workplace situation can be awkward for Librans who prefer to keep their problems private. But you might have to "tell-all" if you hope to see it resolved in your favor. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Although your financial situation starts to improve this week, you still need to be cautious about money matters. Avoid major obligations, for now. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your overall aspects continue to brighten, allowing you to tackle long-deferred challenges. A change in travel plans could work to your benefit. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Things seem to be slowing down for the usually restless Sea Goat. But wouldn't a bit of respite be just what you need right now? Activity picks up by June 17. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Personal relationships take a positive turn for both married and single Aquarians. Professional commitments, however, could be complicated by newly emerging events. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A decision you thought was final might be reopened as new facts are discovered. This could lead to a short-term problem, but might ultimately prove beneficial. BORN THIS WEEK: Your keen interest in pursuing global events could lead you into a career as a politician or reporter.
