Higgins Middle School launches Hawk ShopBy Christopher Roberson

Two years ago, it became painfully apparent that

there were a significant num-ber of students at Higgins Middle School with “incredi-ble financial needs.”

During the Oct. 23 School Committee meeting, sev-enth-grade social studies teacher Amanda Viga-Cianci-olo recalled a instance where a student said he could not at-tend a field trip even though the school had already cov-ered payment. She said the boy told his homeroom teach-er that if he went on the field trip he would not get lunch, as there was no food at home.

“We went home and cried that night and made him a lunch for the next day,” said Vi-ga-Cianciolo.

Although teachers had been providing students with differ-ent items “under the radar” for a number of years, there were simply too many students. “The need was so great,” said

Viga-Cianciolo.She described the free clus-

ter table that she and the other teachers created in response. “We explained that they could take whatever they needed, no questions asked,” she said, adding that the cluster table increased to include the entire school and establish what is now known as the Hawk Shop.

“It’s very powerful, you defi-nitely tugged at heart strings,” said Mayor Edward Betten-court. “You see things that a lot of us don’t.”School start times and Peabody GIVES

In other news, the School Committee announced that the parent results had been received from the School Start Time Survey.

Although the results will be discussed in-depth during the Nov. 13 meeting, Member John Olimpio emphasized the importance of identifying the

Danvers Town Meeting Member Mark Mezzi-

na has been pleased with the progress he has made in his campaign to unseat in-cumbent state Rep. Theodore Speliotis.

“I’ve gotten my message out; if I can finish strong down the stretch, I think my chances are very good,” he said. “I believe the work I have put in has paid off as well or better than I ex-pected.”

Mezzina also highlighted what separates him from Speli-otis. “I will vote for lower taxes; he consistently votes for high-er taxes,” said Mezzina. “I will not accept taxpayer-funded pay raises; he gave himself a $30,000 pay raise. People are tired of seeing their tax rates go up and politicians cash-ing in by granting themselves large pay raises.”

Mezzina also said he would improve the district’s over-all representation on Beacon Hill. “I chose to run because I

felt that I would do a better job sticking up for working people and seniors than the current representative,” he said.

Despite being 40 years younger than his opponent, this is not Mezzina’s first polit-ical rodeo. In 2014, he assist-ed Peabody resident Thomas Lyons in his campaign against Speliotis.

Tannery I residents saved from displacementBy Christopher Roberson

Since 1978, an afford-able housing agreement

shielded many of the resi-dents at the Tannery I apart-ment complex from market rate rents – last month that agreement expired.

However, with assistance from state and city officials, Boston real estate developer WinnCompanies was able to purchase the Crowninshield Street property and keep the affordable housing intact. The new affordable housing agree-ment was signed on Oct. 11 and will keep 235 of the 284 apartments affordable for the next 40 years.

Councillor-at-Large Anne Manning-Martin said the city had been monitoring the situ-ation since last year when res-

idents were informed that the building would be sold. “They were very nervous about the unknown,” said Manning-Mar-tin. “We’re happy that the counter offer worked out; the residents are elated.”

Ward 6 Councillor Mark O’Neill was also pleased with the outcome. “It’s a good thing to keep these residents in af-fordable housing; it’s certainly a positive thing,” he said.

After the prior 40-year agree-ment expired, Crowninshield Management Corp., the prop-erty owner at the time, had the option of implementing mar-ket rate rents, which could have been upwards of $2,000 per month. Such an increase would have forced many of the build-ing’s 300 residents to look for a new home. The substantially higher rents would have also

caused the city’s affordable housing stock to drop from 9.5 percent to eight percent.

“To drop it to eight percent would have been very danger-ous for our community,” said Mayor Edward Bettencourt.

Under Chapter 40B of the state Housing Code, at least 10 percent of a community’s housing stock must be afford-able.

Although the state Depart-ment of Housing and Commu-nity Development (DHCD) ap-pointed WinnCompanies as the new property owner, the com-pany’s initial offer to purchase the property fell short of the $37.5 million offer from True-North Capital Partners, which intended to impose market rate rents.

“The original offer was a few million dollars lower,” said Bet-

tencourt.However, Winn still had 30

days to submit a counter offer. Therefore, working with Bet-tencourt, state Sen. Joan Love-ly, state Rep. Thomas Walsh and MassHousing, DHCD raced to come up with the additional funding.

Bettencourt said the $1.6 mil-lion contribution from the city will come from the Communi-ty Preservation Fund and the Inclusionary Zoning account. As a result, Winn was able to match TrueNorth’s offer with four days remaining on the 30-day window.

Peabody students named to St. Anselm’s Dean's List for Spring 2018 semester

MANCHESTER, NH – Saint Anselm College has released the Dean's List of high aca-

demic achievers for the second semester of the 2017-2018 school year. To be eligible for this honor, a student must have achieved a grade point average of 3.1 or better in the semester with at least 12 credits of study which award a letter grade. A total of 729 students represent-ing 22 states received this honor.

Mark W. Cronin, Dean of the College, an-nounced that the following students have been named to the Dean's List for the spring 2018 se-mester at Saint Anselm College, Manchester, New Hampshire.

in 1889, Saint Anselm College is a four-year lib-eral arts college providing a 21st century educa-tion in the Catholic, Benedictine tradition. Locat-ed in southern New Hampshire near Boston and the seacoast, Saint Anselm is well known for its strong liberal arts curriculum, the New Hamp-shire Institute of Politics, a highly successful nurs-ing program, a legacy of community service and a commitment to the arts.

“I largely knew what to ex-pect going in,” Mezzina said of this year’s election. “It’s been over a year of very hard work, and what I’ve learned is that people notice your work eth-ic and you begin to get a rep-

utation.”In addition, Mezzina ran for

a seat on the North Andover School Committee when he was 19 years old.

Although he came up short in that election, Mezzina said he has performed well as a Town Meeting member in Danvers. “I’ve served in that capacity for the past three Town Meetings,” he said. “I’m proud of my 100 percent at-tendance record, and I look for-ward to having a 100 percent attendance record at the State House as well.”

A 2011 graduate of Austin Prep, Mezzina is currently an appliance specialist at JCPen-ney. He is also enrolled at the Harvard Extension School, where he is studying politics and government.

Should he win the day on Nov. 6, Mezzina said, he will al-ways remember what got him there. “I won’t become an in-sider or a part of the system – I’ll maintain my integrity and always put my constituents first,” he said.

However, unseating Speliotis will be no easy feat. Since tak-ing office in 1997, he has been challenged in six General Elec-tions and has won by an aver-age of 14.4 percent.

In Support of Eileen DuffTo the Editor:For Governor’s Council, Ei-

leen Duff is in our Corner.Eileen Duff has time for ev-

erybody. Whether it is a fund-raiser in support of the arts or a rally on behalf of equal rights, there are few politi-cians as present in commu-nities across the Common-wealth as Eileen. With Wash-ington and Beacon Hill each feeling as disconnected from the realities of everyday life as ever, it is critical that we take advantage of an elected of-ficial that often puts in 16 or 18-hour days on our behalf. Eileen cares about Peabody, and her decisions as Gover-nor’s Councillor are made with the City of Peabody and oth-er local communities at the forefront. It is critical that we send back to Beacon Hill not a career politician, but rather someone that has put com-munity at the center of her life. It is critical that we sup-port a candidate that has nev-er let tired, old political games get in the way of serving her constituents. It is critical that we re-elect Eileen Duff to the Governor’s Council.

Eileen grew up in a Peabody family that put service first. Her late father served Pea-

body in a variety of municipal offices and her mother served in the Eisenhower adminis-tration as a secretary to Vice President Nixon. Eileen her-self served our country with distinction in the adminis-tration of President Clinton. That’s right: a family that ac-tually put country over party.

For Eileen and her family, it has never been about party; it has never been about trib-alism and grudges; it has nev-er been about scoring cheap political points. For Eileen and her family, it has always been about doing the right thing. It has always been about fight-ing for working men and women who want safe neigh-borhoods, clean streets, and good schools. In an era mired by the lack of strong, com-munity-minded leadership, Eileen has distinguished her-self and has put her back into the job. She’s everywhere: community events, marches, fundraisers, benefits, and Bea-con Hill. But most important-ly, she’s in our corner. She’s in Peabody’s corner. Please join me in voting to re-elect Ei-leen Duff as our Governor’s Councillor.

Sincerely, Beverley Ann Griffin D

Tanners volleyball team scores 3-2 win over MagiciansBy Greg Phipps

Since losing their first two matches of the season, the

Peabody volleyball team had won 12 of their subsequent 15 contests as of early this week. The Tanners notched perhaps their biggest victory of the sea-son with a hard-fought 3-2 Northeastern Conference (NEC) home triumph on Tuesday eve-ning over the always-tough Mar-blehead Magicians.

Dropping the first set, 25-19, the Tanners won going away in game two by a 25-11 count. Pea-body then had a seemingly sol-id five-point advantage midway through the third game. But the Magicians were able to battle back and retake the lead, 22-21.

That’s when a Marblehead shot that appeared to land out of bounds was ruled in, giving the Magicians a two-point lead. The visitors were able to score the next two points and steal the set, 25-21, grabbing a 2-1 match lead in the process.

Peabody built leads in the next two sets and did not allow a re-peat of game three. The Tanners used a late 9-4 surge to earn a 25-17 win in the fourth set. They were never really threatened in the fifth and final game, win-ning by a relatively secure 15-8 margin.

Rachel Coleman finished with 22 assists, and Tatiana Correia was strong on defense with 32 digs. Alex Houlden and Aman-da Marmiani also had solid de-

fensive efforts. On offense, Al-exa Flewelling drilled 11 kills and Ava LaValle contributed eight. Maggie Brennon had 12 service points.

“In the fourth and fifth games, we realized we couldn’t let that happen again if we get a lead,” said Peabody head coach Lisa Keene afterward. “A five-point lead is never safe, so we need-ed to stay focused. Anything can happen when the ball goes over the net.”

It was an important win for the Tanners, who improved to 12-5 overall with Tuesday’s win and now have a shot at the NEC crown when they face Danvers in their regular-sea-son finale on Monday. Pea-body lost, 3-0, to Danvers ear-ly in the year.

“This was a get-ready-for-

Danvers match for us. [Mar-blehead] had only lost to Dan-vers in the league, and we’ve only lost to Danvers, so this is a big win for us,” Keene ob-served. “[Marblehead] always has a strong team, and I know they’ve probably played better than they did tonight. We were able to capitalize on their errors and make key plays offensively and defensively when we need-ed them.”

Winning the second set con-vincingly after dropping the first game proved to be a crucial turnaround moment for the Tan-ners. “When our energy is there, like it was in the second set, the girls support each other to an-other degree. The team chemis-try comes alive, and the players perform the way I know they’re capable of.”

Tanners football team makes playoffs despite loss to PanthersBy Greg Phipps

The Peabody Tanners qual-ified for the Div. 2 North

playoffs, but they didn’t en-ter the tournament in the manner they would have preferred. Head coach Mark Bettencourt felt strongly that Peabody would need to win last Saturday afternoon against the Beverly Panthers to earn a spot in the post-season.

As it turned out, a disap-pointing 28-7 defeat at the hands of the Panthers at Hurd Stadium in Beverly wasn’t enough to keep Peabody out of the playoffs. The 3-4 Tan-ners were awarded the sixth seed and will travel to face No. 3 Reading in round one this Friday night (scheduled 7 p.m. kickoff ).

Against Beverly, the Tan-ners failed to get anything going offensively (suffer-ing through five consecutive three-and-out possessions at one point) and eventual-ly paid the price. Even with two early Beverly turnovers, including a first-quarter goal line interception and return by linebacker Jake Sousa, Pea-

body came up empty. Sousa ended up injured and had to leave the game in the first half.

Two late-first-half scores by the hosts ultimately put the Tanners in a hole they couldn’t

climb out of. Beverly quarter-back Ryan Barror threw a 68-yard TD pass with four min-utes left in the half. He then ran one in from four yards away in the final minute to give Beverly a 14-0 lead fol-lowing a successful two-point conversion.

“They beat us up front. We couldn’t make any holes [on offense] or fill any holes [de-fensively]. They outplayed us in every facet of the game,” Bettencourt said afterward. “We’ve got to regroup and find out what happens to us now. We’ll see how it plays out. We do know we’ll be on the road if we qualify [for the playoffs]. Whether we make the playoffs or not, we have to figure out what we need to do to play better.”

Bettencourt said not mak-ing the most of early opportu-nities was crucial in the result. “[The Panthers] tried to help us early in the game [Sousa’s interception and a fumble re-covery], and it kept the game scoreless. But we weren’t able to capitalize on their mis-takes,” he observed.

The opening drive of the second half was probably the major turning point of the contest. Peabody received the kickoff and promptly stalled on three plays. The ensuing punt was blocked and Bever-ly recovered the ball inside the

Tanners’ five.The Panthers, who earned a

Div. 3 North playoff bid with their victory, took full advan-tage by scoring on a one-yard burst by RB Clayton McAlpine. The extra-point kick made it 21-0 and the Tanners were in serious trouble. It would only get worse when McAlpine busted off a 66-yard scoring run before the third quarter ended with Peabody trailing 28-0.

“Getting the ball to open the second half, that’s not the way we wanted to come out. The inability to execute and fight in the trenches really hurt us. We put ourselves in some bad positions,” said Bettencourt. “Offensively we weren’t able to execute what we had prac-ticed all week.”

When asked if Beverly did anything offensively that caught the Tanner defense off guard, Bettencourt said there were no surprises. “Everything they did we practiced for all week. They just outmanned us and played a better foot-ball game. Give Beverly credit, they came out inspired.”

The lone scoring highlight for Peabody was Colby Ther-rien’s three-yard TD run in the final period after the Tan-ners recovered a fumble. Aus-tin Leggett connected on the PAT kick to account for the fi-nal margin.

THE HOUSE AND SENATE. There were no roll calls in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call con-tinues its three-part series look-ing at the questions on the No-vember 6 ballot. This week the focus is on Question 2.

Question 2 asks voters if they approve of a proposed law that would create a citizens’ com-mission to consider and recom-mend potential amendments to the U.S. Constitution to estab-lish that corporations do not have the same constitutional rights as human beings and that campaign contributions and ex-penditures may be regulated.

The proposed law is in re-sponse to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Com-mission. In that case, the court ruled that the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting corporations, unions and individuals from donating unlimited funds to Super Polit-ical Action Committees (PACs) that do not donate directly to candidates or political parties.

The Super PACs are often run by a candidate’s former staffers or associates, who use the PAC to fund negative ads against the candidate’s opponents. A candi-date’s own committee’s contri-butions are limited by federal law but Super PACs, as a result of the court decision, can legal-ly accept unlimited donations.

The commission would in-vestigate the entire issue and then file a report regarding the impact of political spending in Massachusetts; any limitations on the state’s ability to regu-late corporations and other en-tities in light of Supreme Court decisions that allow corpora-tions to assert certain consti-tutional rights; recommenda-tions for constitutional amend-ments; an analysis of constitu-tional amendments introduced to Congress; and recommenda-tions for advancing proposed amendments to the Constitu-tion.

“We have over 700 volunteers across the state knocking doors, making phone calls, e-mailing and texting,” said Ben Gubits, National Political Director of Concord-based American Prom-ise. “We’ve had big endorse-ments from both Democrat and Republican leaders in the state and across the country. The campaign is going strong and we’re confident that we will win on Election Day, but we’re not taking anything for grant-ed because this doesn’t end on Election Day. Question 2 is part of a national effort of ‘We the People’ to reclaim our republic from wealthy special interests.”

“Question 2 is a silly, feel-good liberal primal scream, a Quixotic tilt at one of its most threatening windmills, with no teeth and no real effect,” said

Chip Ford, Executive Director of Citizens for Limited Taxa-tion. “If adopted, it would cre-ate a meaningless ‘advisory commission’ to propose an un-likely amendment to the Con-stitution that might hopefully overturn the Supreme Court’s free speech decision in Citizens United.”

“Wealthy donors have long had an outsized influence in our democracy, but the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United de-cision has opened the floodgates for mega-donations and corpo-rate spending in our elections,” said Janet Domenitz, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MASSPIRG). “Spending on po-litical races has skyrocketed. The 2016 election cycle was the most expensive in U.S. history, with al-most $6.5 billion spent. We must overturn Citizens United with a constitutional amendment that restores the right of the Amer-ican people to regulate cam-paign finance and thereby curb big money in politics. Question 2 on the November ballot moves us in that direction.

“The NAACP fought for the right of freedom of speech and association during the civil rights era at the Supreme Court,” said Paul Craney, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Fiscal Al-liance which opposes the cre-ation of the commission. “The Supreme Court upheld their right and their work to protect our freedoms should be con-tinued to be protected today.”

Here are the official argu-ments, gathered by the secre-tary of state, by each side of the question.

IN FAVOR: Written by Jeff Clements of “People Govern, Not Money.” https://voteyes-on2ma.org

“Behind our nation’s challeng-es is a crisis of billionaires and special interests using money to

buy access and influence with politicians. These special inter-ests are well-represented, while most Americans are not. The Supreme Court says that laws limiting political spending vio-late the First Amendment. Most Americans know this is incor-rect: Money is not speech, it is power, and concentrated pow-er requires checks and balanc-es. 75 percent of Americans, in-cluding liberals and conserva-tives, support this amendment to correct the court, with 19 states and over 200 Massachu-setts communities formally call-ing for it. This measure creates a non-partisan, unpaid Citizens Commission to be the people’s advocate for this amendment, with commissioners serving at no cost to taxpayers.”

AGAINST: Written by the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance. www.MassFiscalScorecard.org

“The controversy surround-ing the Citizens United deci-sion hinges on our cherished right to Freedom of Speech. In the decision, the court ruled to expand that freedom and apply it equally to all entities and or-ganizations, rather than just the arbitrary list of winners and los-ers selected by elected officials in previous campaign finance laws. This is a good thing. The First Amendment protection of our freedom of speech is one of the pillars of our democracy and should be preserved and expanded at every possible op-portunity. The less government standing in the way of the exer-

cise of that right, the stronger it is. However, even if you dis-agree with the Citizens United decision, an amendment to the U.S. Constitution is a dangerous and misguided way to go about undoing it. Please vote no on this question.”

More information on Ques-tion 2 is available at www.sec.state.ma.us/ele

H O W L O N G WA S L A S T WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Sen-ate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legis-lative sessions are only one as-pect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve com-mittee work, research, constitu-ent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night ses-sions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days im-mediately preceding the end of an annual session.

During the week of October 15-19, the House met for a to-tal of five hours 10 minutes and the Senate met for a total of five hours and 24 minutes.

Mon. October 15 House 11:08 a.m. to 4:08 p.m.

LATE RECORDING OF DEED

A 2017 MassHealth fair hearing decision ren-

dered by a hearing offi-cer with the Board of Ap-peals addressed a situa-tion where a MassHealth application for long-term care nursing home benefits was denied because a deed was executed in 2007 but wasn’t recorded at the Reg-istry of Deeds until 2016.

MassHealth argued that the transfer of the home by the applicant to the chil-dren took place within the 5-year look-back period and thus constituted a dis-qualifying transfer. The as-sessed value of the home was $180,600. MassHealth calculated a disqualifica-tion period of 489 days.

The applicant ’s attor-ney argued that the trans-fer took place in 2007 and that the closing attorney simply neglected to record the deed.

The hearing officer stat-ed that a delay in the re-cording of the deed does not render it defective. She went on to say that deliv-ery of the deed is essential to the validity and effec-tiveness of the deed. Deliv-ery occurs when the grant-or intends the deed to af-fect a present transfer of the property conveyed and the grantee assents to the conveyance (i.e. accepts the deed).

The date shown on the deed is prima facie evi-dence of the date of deliv-ery, but that presumption can be overcome by evi-dence of extrinsic facts or circumstances. Words or conduct of the grantor ev-idencing an intention to render the deed present-ly operative and effectual so as to vest the estate in

the grantee, and to surren-der control over the title, is necessary and sufficient to constitute a valid delivery.

The applicant paid her at-torney to draft and record the deed. This evidenced that the applicant had an intention to execute the transfer of the property in 2007 as well as to record the deed at the time it was executed. The fact that the attorney neglected to re-cord the deed at the Reg-istry of Deeds was not fa-tal to the transfer.

The hearing officer ruled that there was an intention to effectuate the transfer, actual delivery of the deed to the grantee and an ac-ceptance on the part of the grantee, all essential ele-ments of a valid transfer. She ruled that there was no disqualifying transfer and honored the 2007 date contained on the deed it-self. The application for MassHealth benefits was then approved.

There is much in terms of Massachusetts case law on this very subject. With reg-istered or certified land, an actual recording would have to take place. It is the land court that registers title in the name of the grantee if all I’s are dotted and all T’s are crossed. It is much more strict than re-corded land.

Top Dental Care Products for SeniorsDear Savvy Senior,I have arthritis in my hands that affects my grip strength and

dexterity and makes brushing my teeth difficult. I’ve read that electric powered toothbrushes help make the job easier. Can you make any recommendations on what to get?

Still SmilingDear Still,For seniors who suffer from arthritis or have other hand

weaknesses, an electric toothbrush is a great solution to keep your teeth clean. At the push of a button, an electric toothbrush will do everything but shake, rattle and roll to do the cleaning for you, and most come with a wide han-dle and rubberized grip that make them easier and more comfortable to hold on to.

How to ChooseWith dozens of different electric toothbrushes on the

market today, here are several key points you’ll need to consider, to help you choose:

Cost: The cost of electric toothbrushes will range from $15 up to around $300. How much are you willing to spend?

Brushing action: Brush heads tend to be either “spin-ning” (they rotate very fast in one direction, then the oth-er, and bristles may pulsate in and out) or “sonic” (they vi-brate side to side). Both methods are effective and a mat-ter of personal preference.

Electric versus battery: Choose a brush with a built-in re-chargeable battery and an electric charging station. They’re much more convenient and cost effective than toothbrush-es that use replaceable batteries.

Brushing timer: Since most dentists recommend brush-ing for two minutes (and most adults brush less than 60 sec-onds), get a power toothbrush with a built-in timer. Some brushes will even split the two minutes onto four 30-sec-ond intervals and will notify you when it’s time to switch to a different quadrant of your mouth.

Extra features: Most higher-priced electric brushes come with various settings such as sensitive (gentler cleaning) or massage (gum stimulation), a charge-level display and more. There are even “smart” toothbrushes on the mar-ket that connect to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth to track brushing habits. What extra features do you want or need?

Top Electric ToothbrushesWhile there are many makes and models of electric tooth-

brushes to choose from, two of the best-selling, top-rated products to consider are the Oral B Pro 1000 (spinning brush head) and the Philips Sonicare 2 Series (vibrating brush head). Both are simple, very effective at removing plaque, and reasonably priced – around $50. They also both offer two-minute timers, rechargeable batteries and a range of brush heads to meet your needs.

To learn more about these electric toothbrushes and a wide variety of other options, visit OralB.com and Sonicare.com. And for more information on choosing an electric toothbrush, visit Toothbrush.org/best-electric-toothbrush.

Easier Flossing ProductsIf flossing is difficult too, a good alternative to traditional

string floss is floss picks. These are disposable plastic-han-dle tools that have floss threaded onto them, which makes them easier to hold and use. DenTek, Oral-B and others sell packages for a few dollars, or check out the Reach Access Flosser, which comes with a toothbrush-like handle for a better reach.

Some other flossing devices to consider that are easy on the hands include: The WaterPik power flosser ($7), which gently vibrates to dislodge embedded food particles be-tween your teeth; Philips Sonicare AirFloss water flossers ($50 or $90) that uses burst of water or mouthwash to and clean in-between your teeth; and WaterPik Water Flossers ($50 to $130), which use high-pressured pulsating water to remove food particles and plaque and will stimulate your gums in the process.

All of these dental care products can also be found at your local pharmacy or retailer that sells personal care items or online.

Ask the Plumber

Dear Ask the Plumber,Lately I have been hearing a lot about “Hot Water Recirculation

Pumps” and I think I might be a candidate for one. At this point I only know what I have been reading, so I hope you can explain a few things that I don’t completely understand. My house has a 32” x 52” foundation and the hot water heater is in the basement at one end of the house directly under a master suite with toilet, van-ity sink, bath and a washer and dryer. I get hot water there quickly, however there is another full bath at the opposite end of the house and it takes a while before I get hot water there.

These pumps are said to save water, cut down on energy bills and get hot water to places further away from the hot water tank faster. What can you tell about how they work, the different type of timers and do I need a bypass recirculation valve if I have recir-culation pump? Do they do the same thing and if they do, which type of system works best? RONNIE I CANNOT FIND THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION, DO YOU KNOW IT? CAN YOU TELL ME AND I WILL TYPE IT IN OR SHOULD I JUST DELTE THE QUESTION AND GO WITH MY ANSWER BELOW? SORRY I JUST CANNOT FIND IT AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE BETTER PART OF AN HOUR NOW...

Out of hot water in RevereDear Out,Nobody likes waiting for hot water, especially in the cold win-

ter months, Not to mention watching literally gallons of water go down the drain. There are two types pumps used. The most common model is a demand-controlled system that comes on from a switch or motion detector located near each fixture. This turns on the circulation pump which stops water from enter-ing the return line; the pump moves room temperature water from the line back into the water heater. The hot water flows to the farthest tap and the sensor then shuts the pump off, leav-ing the hot water ready for use. A second type of system, an in-tegrated loop system, which uses more energy, keeps hot wa-ter circulating through the pipes so it is always available for the taps. In either case you will notice a difference in your water bill. Within a few years you will have saved the money used to install the hot water recirculation pump.
