NEWBURYPORT – Between 2,000 to 3,000 transient boaters tie up in Merrimack River every year, attracted by the ambiance of the historic seaport and the lowest dockage fees of any municipal harbor on the East Coast.

But harbormaster Paul Hogg believes the city would draw even more boaters to its shores if there was a place on the waterfront to take a shower, use a bathroom and wash and dry their clothes.

“We get calls all the time, particularly in the fall, asking if we have a place to

REGIONAL — Sam Joslin stepped outside earlier this month to take a cell phone call because he could get no signal inside the trailer beside Newbury’s Town Hall where he works as the town’s building inspector and facilities administrator. As he talked on the phone, he noticed water leaking out of the bottom of the trailer.

On further inspection, Joslin discovered gallons of water trapped in the bottom of the double wide trailer. He asked Environmental Diagnostic Professionals to test the air quality in the trailer. Th e results showed moderate levels of slime mold that can cause breathing diffi culties, headaches, allergic reactions and lung and cardiovascular problems, creating

Newbury Changes Directionon Public Safety Building

unsafe working conditions for the police officers, health department employees, fire chief and Joslin’s own inspection services.

Joslin was forced to condemn the trailer that for the last 14 years had been a key part of the town’s office space.

It was ironic and coincidental, Joslin explained to the Board of Selectmen last week, that he condemned the trailer on May 12, election day, when more than 1,000 Newbury residents voted down a proposal to spend $990,000 on architectural and engineering design for a new combined police and fire departments and renovations to Town Hall. The new building would replace the condemned the aging trailers.

The proposed override to fund the preliminary work on the proposed $11.6 million public safety building and renovations was defeated by the largest number of negative votes and fewest number of votes for cast on any issue on the Newbury ballot. It failed 1,004 votes against to 723 votes for.

But what a difference a week makes. After the voters turned down the proposed override, a week later the members of Newbury’s Town Meeting voted overwhelmingly to approve the architectural and engineering studies for the new public safety building.

On a vote of 188 to 48, the design of the new building passed Town Meeting by almost 80 percent of those attending. It needed a two-thirds majority.

The change in attitude about building a new police and fire station was attributed to the increased information given on the issue at Town Meeting. It was suggested that in the future Newbury hold its elections after the Town Meeting when voters may be better informed.

The Town Meeting vote last week

sets up the opportunity for the Selectmen to call a special election, probably in late summer or early fall, to ask the town to reverse the results of the May election and agree to allow the town to increase property tax assessments by more the state’s maximum of two and a half percent.

Meanwhile, across the Merrimack River, Salisbury Town Meeting members unanimously approved building the proposed $11.5 million police station on town land at 170 Beach Road. According to Salisbury Town Manager Neil Harrington, the cost of building the new police station could add about $60 a year on the tax bill of the average single-family home valued at $325,000.

In Newbury Eric Svahn, chairman of the municipal building committee, said the $990,000 design fee would increase local property taxes on average of $80 a year. The full $11 million needed to build the facility would raise taxes about $300 a year on the average single-family home.

In front of a packed gymnasium at the Newbury Elementary School, Police Chief Michael Riley and Fire Chief Nathan Walker made impassioned pleas to build a new facility that would allow them to provide professional public safety services to town residents.

“Our facility is atrocious. I would not let my children spend any time there,” Riley said. The conditions are so bad, “it is not if someone is going to get hurt, but when.”

Both chiefs described the working conditions as unsatisfactory, although the fire department’s facility was called less dire. Walker said the fire station is so cramped the fire crews can barely get the larger trucks inside, and there is no place for the firemen to sleep during emergencies or shower after being exposed to toxic materials.

Riley recited a litany of unsafe and unsanitary conditions at the police station, ranging from mold and fecal materials to condemned cell blocks that he will use.

Selectman Damon Jespersen said conditions at the police and fire department were so bad that someday they might not be able to respond to an emergency. He asked the Town Meeting members “which member of your family is not worth a tax increase?”

He also warned that if the Commonwealth perceives that Newbury is not providing professional public safety services for its resident, it could place the town in receivership and raise taxes without a vote by the residents. “The state can shove any taxes they want down our throats,” he said.

Building a new public safety building will not be done quickly. If approved by the voters in a new election, the design and engineering studies will take about a year, Svahn said.

Then if the town approves constructing the building on a new vote, it will take about 18 months to build it. The plan now is to purchase the debt of the private fire service for about $400,000 and build the new facility on that property behind Town Hall.

In the interim, the Selectmen agreed to spend about $40,000 to acquire another used trailer to house the police officers, the fire chief and other departments and probably crush the old, infected trailer. The police are doubling up in already cramped space. The Health Department employees are using borrowed space in Georgetown. The fire chief will work out of his home and the fire service building.

The Selectmen were also told that records in metal file cabinets at the landfill are also contaminated with mold and have to be decontaminated and moved to a secure location.

“It is not an ideal situation,” Joslin said.

And the clock is ticking. He said the state will allow the town only one year, plus another year’s extension to solve its facility needs.

the incident.”During the event, two cars were

placed together, as if they had crashed. Six student actors from the high school theater department portrayed a drunken driver and passengers in both vehicles.

“Students should think twice before drinking and driving or getting into a vehicle with someone who is under the influence of alcohol,” West Newbury Police Chief Lisa Holmes said. “We hope to see teenagers act responsibly this weekend at prom to ensure a safe night for all involved.”

Groveland and West Newbury

Police, along with Groveland, West Newbury and Merrimac Fire, responded to investigate. EMS also arrived to provide medical treatment to passengers.

One passenger was extracted from a car and pronounced dead on the scene. Others were treated for serious injuries and removed from the vehicles by stretcher to be taken to the hospital.

Police determined the driver was under the influence of alcohol. He was placed in handcuffs and arrested.

“It is always a sad situation when a motor vehicle operator chooses to drink and drive,” Groveland Deputy

Police Chief Jeffrey Gillen said. “In this situation, a life that could have been spared was lost.”

To conclude the simulation, a hearse from Paul C. Rodgers & Sons Funeral Homes arrived to take away the body of the deceased as the students watched.

“We think it’s important to offer this presentation on a regular basis to remind students that when they get behind the wheel they’re responsible for not only themselves, but their passengers as well,” West Newbury Fire Chief Michael Dwyer said. “It’s always devastating to respond to call of a motor vehicle fatality.”

------------------------------------------------------------ROWLEY - On the Grange’s Wednesday Meeting Rowley Grange had the honor to have a visit from Heritage Pomona a Grange with State Master Mathew Johnson, State Asst. Steward and Deputy, Corey Spence, State Grange New Editor, Ann Prest and Mr. and Mrs. Barbara and Allan Gaspar, for Outstanding Couple of the Year, for their many years of service to the Grange. It was a special night with the Community Service Award presented to Honored guests, Country Gardens William “Bill” Freitag and his family, his wife and his 2 great daughters. They were escorted to the alter and a beautiful plaque was presented to him and his family. Bill Freitag has owned and operated Country Gardens since 1978. It is a family business with several growing greenhouses for annuals, perennials, holiday crops and aquatic plants. In 1988, the company’s focus began to include an interest in water gardening. They expanded on this interest to become the leading source for aquatic plants, pond fish and water garden provisions. Through different associations with several fish and aquatic plant clubs they are able to keep up with the latest developments in the industry. When you have the opportunity to walk through the garden region it feels like you are in Hawaii. The work is fantastic and just to walk through the gardens will put a new lease on life. All in general this is a work and company to be proud of. The Grange wishes at the best to Bill and his family. Senator Bruce Tarr’s Representative was in attendance and presented Country Gardens with a commendation award for their 37 years of outstanding work in our community. Lecturer, Helen Dobbins, presented a great program with a closing song. “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.” The grange sincerely thanks those who attended and made it a happy occasion.

------------------------------------------------------------ROWLEY - What is the Grange Scholarship? It was the result of a long time member, Sarah Wallis Peabody, her farm on Haverhill Street to the Rowley Grange. Over the past 15 years they have given away over $50,000 to Rowley Students. Students have also received an Annual Scholarship from the Mass State Grange, every year, whereas the Rowley Scholarship is only for the first year. There have been different awards, depending on the interest rates for that year. One of their members has received a State Grange Scholarship for the past four years and they will be graduating this year. These young adults represent our future, and the Grange will be there to help them, but they first have to help themselves.

------------------------------------------------------------WEST NEWBURY - The Pentucket Regional School Committee approved the implementation of three new Innovation Schools at its May 19 business meeting: the Pentucket Conservatory of Music, Secondary STEM Academy, and Academy of Business, Finance & Entrepreneurship. With a total of 10 Innovation Schools underway, the Pentucket Regional School District has earned a leadership position in Massachusetts, with more Innovation Schools than any other school district. Innovation Schools are one of the District’s key strategies for building its capacity for all students to achieve at high levels. As the statewide innovation school leader, Pentucket offers a university-style course of studies with customized, high-powered learning experiences for students. Pentucket’s advanced curriculum is powered by the integration of academic knowledge, adaptive leadership, and high levels of personal meaning. At the secondary level, scheduling flexibility supports the acceleration of learning with early high school, early college, and early career experiences. Education in Pentucket begins with the student in mind. Students in Pentucket experience access to accelerated academic opportunities. They enact leadership resulting in changes that significantly impact students’ local and global world as creative agents. Conventional school districts primarily focus on state assessments, such as MCAS / PARCC. Pentucket’s expectations for students are more than a score. Ambitious goals are established in Pentucket’s Continuum of Performance Goals for grades PK through early college. The Pentucket Portfolio of innovation schools honors student voice and choice. Student interest prompted the establishment of Pentucket’s emerging course of studies that provides students with options for learning that extend beyond that obtainable in a conventional school district. Pentucket offers an advanced PK – 6 curriculum, specializing in Design & Engineering and the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. Early high school credit is available to middle school students. High school students have access to early college credit, internships, and apprenticeships as supported by an extended day/year schedule.

Authority, which own adjacent waterfront land. Th e city’s Conservation Commission and the state Department of Environmental Protection have also given the new facility their approval.

Th e federal government has backed the project, providing $448,000 through a Boaters Infrastructure Grant to pay for much of the facilities for the visiting boaters.

Th e balance of the building will be fi nanced by a city bond and paid off from revenue generated by dockage fees in the Harbormaster’s Enterprise Fund. Each year more than $300,000 is paid into the fund to cover expenses and salaries of 45 part-time employees. Harbor Commission Chairman Brad Duffi n said a small increase in dockage fees is under consideration.

Several residents appeared at the Planning Board to voice concerns about how the project was being fi nanced, its 30-foot roof line that some said would block their view of the river and whether the city has

easements to allow car and utility access.

Currently the harbormaster manages and polices the river from a one-story red building on the waterfront. It was created 15 years ago by pushing two sheds together, said senior project manager Geordie Vining, who described the harbormaster building as “very, very small.” It also has no restroom or water for the employees.

Th e plan is to move the harbormaster’s offi ce a few feet east on the waterfront to open the view of the river from the Custom House. To do that, an improved fallen sailors monument and plaza will be moved to stand at the end of the Custom House pedestrian way.

Th e 69-by-30-foot building will be built with white shingles and green metal roofs to look “like it belongs in Newburyport.” It will be in two sections, divided by a breezeway that allows a view of the river from Merrimac Street. One section closer to the Fish Pier will be two-stories and

house the harbormaster’s offi ce. Th e other section will be one story and will have the transient boater facility and public restrooms.

Th e waterfront has little access to public restrooms, particularly at the far eastern end. Th e public may use restrooms at the visitor’s center, the Firehouse Th eater building and the Black Cow restaurant, all of which are at the far western edge of the waterfront park.

Vining, appearing a little frustrated at the continuing objections from residents, said the new building will not block the views of the waterfront. To objections that it should be only one-story tall, Vining and the team of architects and engineers on the project said they made the harbormaster’s offi ce two stories to reduce its footprint, give the harbormaster a second-fl oor view of the river and increase the visibility of the offi ce from the river for boaters.

“It will not block the views of the waterfront,” Vining said. “It will anchor the end of the boardwalk.”

Vining also dismissed the easement issue as “not signifi cant.” It appears that the Waterfront Trust charter does not allow it to convey any property, including a utility easement. He said that issue will be resolved before construction on the new building is started.

If the proposed timetable works, visitors to the boardwalk will have a toilet and boaters will have showers and laundry facilities by the summer of 2016.

Replacement PartsBrighter Smiles...

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

What about teeth? Your lower fi rst permanent molars erupted into your mouth around the age of 6 years old. If you are 50 years old, these teeth have been tolerating chewing, hot coff ee, cold ice cream, the occasional popcorn kernel, and maybe even grinding back and forth for 44 years. You have used them every day for 44 years!

What else can you use that much for 44 years that doesn’t require some kind of maintenance? How about that car you drive every day? Th e car certainly requires maintenance to function properly. Th e oil needs to be changed on a regular basis. Depending on several factors, the tires need to be rotated to wear evenly and usually need to be replaced after so many miles. I don’t know too many people who drive the same car for 44 years.

Of course, I am not insinuating that everyone needs replacement teeth at some point. I am saying that it is naïve to think that a car, a furnace, a computer or your teeth will run forever without maintenance, and that they will run better with routine maintenance.

What happens if you don’t do regular maintenance on your car? It will run for a long time, at some point its performance will decrease, and then when it fi nally decides to quit, it will be catastrophic. You will have

to replace your car. How much will it cost to replace your car? Doesn’t it make sense to keep up with the routine maintenance?

Sometimes, even with regular maintenance, parts need to be repaired or replaced. We often have to make a decision on “how” to fi x something. Do we patch it up to get some more miles out of it or do we replace the part to extend the serviceability? It may depend on the cost. It may also depend on the risk of the patch failing. You may decide that the risk is too high and go ahead and replace the part, even though it may cost more.

If you were a caveman, we wouldn’t be discussing this. You wouldn’t have a car and most of your own “parts” would make it to your expected 33 years. You are not a caveman. You are likely to wear parts out. You may need a hip replacement, or a fi lling, or a crown.

And remember: Regular oil changes and maintenance will help your car run well much longer.

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to health-centered family dentistry. If there are certain topics you would like to see written about or questions you have please email them to him at [email protected]. You can view all previously written columns at www.jpeterstclairdentistry.com/blog.

It seems I have more and more patients telling me about their upcoming shoulder, hip, and knee replacement surgery. Th ere are other parts that people have replaced, but those are the top three. Most of these people decide to go under the knife to improve their quality of life.

If you were born in the Paleolithic era, you could expect to live to 33 years old. Th e average global life expectancy in 2010 was more than double this number at 67 years. Th e main reasons for this are advances in hygiene, food production, and medical care.

On the bright side, if you were born in the Paleolithic era, you would most likely never need a hip replacement. It usually takes longer than 33 years to wear out the joint.

Today, about 2.3% of Americans have had a hip replaced and 4.6% have had a knee replaced. More than a million joint replacements will be done this year and the number continues to grow. Th e longer we live, the more chance we have of parts needing replacement.

The Most Precious Cargo*Consider boarding where

possible during very hectic periods of the move to avoid increased stress that can lead to illness. *If you move across state lines, check with the State Department of Animal Husbandry to assure compliance with entry laws. Some states require up to date rabies certifi cations. (Hawaii for example, requires 120 day quarantine for dogs and cats that have just moved from another state). *Pack over a longer period of time rather than wait till the last minute. You may be able to handle last minute panic far better than your pet. Moving day should be as relaxed as possible. *Because they live best by routine, try to maintain as normal a life as possible for them by walking and feeding them at the same times and in the same places during the week before the move. *A few days before the move, designate a special room for your pet and let your pet get used to the “pet room” that should have familiar toys, feed bowl and pet carrier with the door opened. Your pet should have favorite objects around him that have that familiar smell. Place a sign on the door that says “Pets. Do Not

Th ey love us unconditionally. Th ey protect us without regard for their own lives. Th ey are creatures of habit that directly correlate to their sense of security. After all they do to keep us happy and safe, we make decisions for them that can be terribly unsettling and frightful for them…..we MOVE. Th e very least we can do for our beloved pets is to learn how we can diminish the trauma of moving.

For most of their lives, our pets’ experience is limited to the inside of our homes or to the boundaries of our property line. Th ey learn to regard the sofa, the overstuff ed easy chair and the family room rug as known and safe territory within their world and their world is about to be turned upside down.

Th ere are tips to minimize trauma to our special family members during the moving period, some of which derive from the Movers Directory and the Humane Society such as:

*Make certain that the pet is wearing proper identifi cation and required tags in case he gets lost. *Obtain a copy of your pet’s medical history and be sure all shots are current.

Open” and instruct the movers not to disturb your pet.

*On moving day, keep your pets in their carriers, board, or ask a friend to care for your pet during the actual move itself. Your pet can easily panic in the midst of such turmoil. *When moving into the new home, choose a small room again to be the “pet room” where your pets are less likely to panic as the movers come and go in the hectic operation that is hard to avoid. Have bowls, toys and furniture in place as much as possible before you let your pet out of the carrier or crate.

*Although dogs adapt more quickly than cats to their new surroundings, don’t let them outside without restraints to avoid panic and running off . It’s best to allow several days to a week of slowly letting them get used to the new smells in the new territory. *If the process of moving does

not permit you to give your pet the level of attention you wish such as walking or other routine activities, know that there are those who truly love animals and who make it their business to help you keep your pets as safe and happy as possible during diffi cult times.

Tell your pets “We’re moving”. We know without question that your trusted pets will be busy getting all the new smells sorted out so that they can protect and love you unconditionally as we must love them right back.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might not like some people’s idea of a surprise. But you could be in for a pleasant shock when someone finally sends a reply to a request you made so long ago that you almost forgot about it.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a time to

expect the unexpected. So don’t be surprised if a decision that just recently seemed final suddenly opens up and leaves you with another chance to make an important choice.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking a different tack on a work project might rankle some colleagues. But the positive results of your innovative course soon speak for themselves. Celebrate with a fun-filled weekend.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Meeting new associates can be awkward, even if you’re in a high positive phase right now. Best advice: Make them feel comfortable, and you’ll soon forget your own discomfort.LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good time for you social Lions to blow-dry your manes, polish your claws and look like the Fabulous Felines you are as you make new friends and influence the influential.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Expectations run especially high this week, and you should feel confident in your abilities to take advantage of what might be offered. A colleague has some advice you might find helpful.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A recent flurry of activity leaves you in need of a little breathing space, and you’d be wise to take it. Close family members should have an explanation about an emergency situation that just passed.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An insensitive act makes a difficult situation more so. But try not to waste either your physical or emotional energies in anger. Move on and let others fill the clod in on the facts of life.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) It’s a good time to look into that training program or college course you’ve been considering. You might have a good place to use those sharpened skills sooner rather than later.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Education dominates much of your aspect during this week. You might want to start checking out those summer session courses that could help advance your career plans.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Progress often comes in fits and starts. But at least you’re moving straight ahead with no backsliding. You should soon be able to pick up the pace and reach your goals in due time.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be wary of a deal that gives confusing answers to your questions. Remember: It’s always risky swimming in unknown waters, so you need all the help you can get to stay on course.BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of bringing people together and creating close friendships wherever you go.

They take up permanent residence in our hearts. They offer us unconditional

love. They are our cherished pets andwe endeavor to hold onto thememory of

their companionship long after they’re gone. Becausemaster craftsmanGeorge

Hilton knows fullwell howprecious the life and/ormemory of a belovedpet can

be, he carved an exact life sized duplicate of his own six year old German Short

Haired Pointer “Jenny”. If a photo is “worth a thousand words”, a life sized and

lovingwoodcarving isworthamillion.

“There may come a time when we lose Jenny” said his wife Janet, “but what

Georgehasgivenuswithhis astonishing talent is a ‘forever’memoryof Jennyexactly as she isnow. Hehas immortalizedher.”

GeorgeHilton is an accomplished artist andwood carver. In the 1990’swhen Jurassic Parkwas all the rage, his dinosaur creations (HiltonHeads)

were the featured item inmillionsof the Sharper ImageCatalogues.His dinosaurswere shippedall over theworld andwere first displayedat the

ScienceMuseuminBostonover twentyyears ago.

“GeorgeHilton Creations” is the logo that can be foundonhis life sized birds, animals or fish. “Each carvedwork of art is one of a kind, just as is a

reveredpet.” saidGeorgewhopainstakinglypays attention toeverydetail,measurement, shape, and color to capture the character andessence
