NEWBURYPORT – Two controversial housing projects, which have been dormant for years, resurfaced last week before the city’s Planning Commission, confi rming that the real estate market here is hot.

Lt. Governor Visits the Beach

SALISBURY – Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito did not bring the SUV loaded with cash to Salisbury last week that state Rep. Jim Kelcourse joked she would. But she did promise that the Gov. Charlie Baker administration would work with local offi cials to build the town’s vision of having a boardwalk, pier and most important a comfort station at the beach.

“I can’t wait to tell Gov. Baker that you need a bathroom on Salisbury Beach,” Polito told North Shore business and government leaders at the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce annual dinner at the Blue Ocean Pavilion. After meeting with local leaders before the dinner, she said, “I see the vision. I see huge potential here.”

Visitors to Salisbury beach currently have to walk about two

Old Housing Projects ResurrectedContinued on page 8

Each project would create several benefi ts to the community in addition to the 18 homes that would be built or renovated. Th e city would get a new sports fi elds, two more aff ordable housing units and possibly a recreational building with

restrooms at Cashman Park. Both projects have resurfaced

because, as Historical Commission Chairman Sarah White described it, Newburyport’s housing market is “hot.”

It would renovate three long-empty houses into fi ve residences and build nine new waterfront condos that would be about 2,500 square feet each with two or three bedrooms and have great river views from inside the units and on decks and patios outside.

Old Housing Projects Resurrectedfrom city officials who want to keep the barn.

On High Street, just east of the Newburyport High School, Elite Builders of New Bedford proposes to build four new single-family homes and a street to serve the houses on a large lot that has been in bankruptcy and foreclosure for several years. The existing home, which would be preserved for 99 years, is owned by a different company.

Elite Builders is scheduled to take ownership of the lot on June 24.

A portion of the High Street property, which backs to the sports fields at the Middle School, would be donated for at least 99 years to the city and used partially for more athletic fields.

Lisa Mead, a former mayor and partner with Blatman, Bobrowski & Mead, represented both projects.

Both projects face additional scrutiny from city boards and commissions. The Planning Board postponed ruling on the architectural design of the four new houses on High Street. The waterfront project faces review by the Zoning Commission and the Conservation Commission as well as the Planning Board.

The waterfront project, called the Towle Project, was launched originally by First Republic

Development in 2007 when it renovated a house, built in 1690, and constructed two new houses on Merrimac Street near the old Towle silver factory, which is now an office building. First Republic installed new water, sewer and electric lines for three proposed waterfront condo buildings and pounded in 300 foundation piles to support the future condos.

Then the housing recession hit, and First Republic abandoned the project.

First Republic asked Berkeley, which just finished renovating the old Watch Factory on the Charles River in Waltham, to breathe life back into the Towle Project.

Eric Ekman, a Berkeley vice president for development, said most of the infrastructure, including the piles, were still good. The design of the condo buildings and the 1690 house has changed, based on architectural and market studies, he said.

Instead of being a two-unit home, the 1690 house will be renovated into a single-family home. The two “shell homes,” which have stood empty for years, will be duplexes with one unit in each house being sold as an affordable residence.

On the waterfront, the condo buildings have been redesigned by Cambridge architect Lawrence Cheng to be less boxy, smaller, and

not as tall in what he described as a coastal New England style with shingles and steeply pitched roofs.

The Planning Board seemed to like the new design. “I think it is a huge improvement,” said board secretary Doug Lucy.

Board member Leah McGavern agreed. “This is much more residential in feel. It is much, much interesting to look at.”

The parking lot at the Towle Building will be redesigned with landscaping and high quality lighting. The 284-space parking lot will include 24 handicapped parking spaces. A major tenant of the Towle Building is Pentucket Medical Associates.

On the waterfront, the condos will be at least 25 feet from the riverwalk, separated by split-rail fencing and native grasses. Benches will be added to the riverwalk. Gone will be the green fence around the parking lot.

Planning Board members were concerned that Berkeley would not maintain the views of the river along the Ting Street corridor. They were also concerned about the plans to demolish the historic barn.

Shoring up the barn and moving it even a short distance to a new site in Cashman Park would cost about $60,000 and would make the project not financially feasible, Ekman said.

Lt. Governor Visits the Beach

Continued from page 1blocks to the police station to use the restroom, which chamber president Maria Miles said discourages beachgoers from staying longer.

In introducing Polito, Kelcourse joked that he would not tell his constituents what his mother allowed him to do when the restroom was too far from from where they were playing at the beach.

Miles lobbied in her remarks for funds to build the restrooms, pier and boardwalk at the beach. Salisbury beach, which attracts 350,000 visitors a year, could draw more if the state helped build a comfort station nearby, Miles said.

She reminded Polito that every dollar the state spends in promoting tourism will generate seven dollars in additional local spending, she said.

In her first visit to Salisbury since taking office 140 days ago, the Commonwealth’s 72nd lieutenant governor promised that the Baker Administration would work with local cities and towns to promote increased economic development.

That was the message local officials wanted to hear. In addition to the Salisbury selectmen and town administrator, the mayors of Amesbury, Newburyport and Methuen came to hear Polito.

They joined state Sen. Kathleen O’Conner Ives and Kelcourse.

“When we invest dollars in local communities, we want to know that we have leaders in place to take the next step,” Polito said. She singled out Wayne Capolupo, owner of SPS New England and the Blue Ocean Pavilion, as an example of a local leader who has made a difference in his community.

“You never forgot your roots,” she said.

The lieutenant governor, who served on the Shrewsbury Board of Selectmen before being elected to the legislature, outlined the priorities for the Baker Administration. In the first few months, which were dominated by handling the exceptionally snowy winter, the administration worked with the legislators to reduce spending and move toward a more balanced budget, she said.

A top priority is fixing the troubled MBTA, which was shut down for weeks during the snow storms. She said she hopes the legislature gives the administration the tools it needed to remedy the MBTA problems.

The administration is also conducting a comprehensive review of all state regulations. The hope is to identify and remove any regulations that she said “do not

make any sense and not enact any more.”

Other priorities for the new administration, she said, is to diversify the energy portfolio that is available in the state to businesses and residents and to fix the health care system. “It cost $1 billion to fix a system that was not broken,” she said.

Working under a slogan of “Making Massachusetts Great Everywhere,” she said the administration wants to reverse the trend of young people, particularly college graduates, leaving the state to find better jobs and a more affordable cost of living.

Boston is growing, she said, but other parts of the state need help in keeping young people.

At its annual dinner, the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce presented yearly awards to restaurant, the Winner’s Circle, as the city’s business of the year, and to its leadership award to John Wall of Wall’s Ford. Lucy Hailson was the posthumous winner of the Louis A. Hailson Community Service Award. Also honored with the chamber’s Appreciation Awards were Ray Cote of the Salisbury Public Works Department, Joseph A. Furnari of the Essex County Sheriff’s Department and the late Constance Grasso.

NEWBURY - Wednesday, June 24th at 11am - Jungle Jim’s Superhero Training is blasting off here at the library on June 24th! Join Jungle Jim as he leads young patrons through the rigors of what it takes to be a superhero, and learn more about some of our unsung superheroes. The program will capture the childrens’ attention by turning the children into superheroes themselves. Volunteers from the audience will be transformed (with balloons, of course) into traditional superheroes the kids know and identify with: Batman, Wonder Woman and the like. Then the show progresses to heroes in our everyday lives (firefighters, police men and women, etc), as well as what it takes to BE a hero (helping out at home, facing our fears, that sort of thing). Children will receive a thematic goodie bag, make a superhero finger puppet, and can use this time to register online for the summer reading program at any of the library’s computers or iPads, or ask a librarian to help you. Visit newburylibrary.org/summerreading for more information.

Low rainfall and lack of snow melt, along with record high temperatures have contributed to the worst drought California has seen in decades. In fact, some studies suggest it’s the worst the state has seen in 1,000 years, but California isn’t the only state suff ering extremely dry conditions. Th e country as a whole is in the midst of one of the most sustained periods of increasing drought on record, according to the Palmer Index.

“With communities around the world facing water supply challenges, it is more important than ever to use water effi ciently,” says Paul Patton, Delta Faucet Company senior research and development and regulatory manager. “Working alongside the EPA’s WaterSense program, companies such as Delta Faucet continue to innovate and make water-effi cient products available for homeowners to easily reduce water usage without sacrifi cing experience or performance.”

You can save thousands of gallons of water per year, and reduce your utility bills, with a few simple home upgrades:

* Replace your showerhead: Showering accounts for nearly 17 percent of residential indoor water use - for the average family, that’s nearly 40 gallons per day, the EPA says. If you can’t decrease your shower time,

retrofi t your showerheads with WaterSense-labeled models to save up to 40 percent of the water you’d typically use when showering. Th anks to new technologies like Delta H2Okinetic technology, which provides the feeling of a warmer, more drenching shower without using more water, you won’t have to sacrifi ce your experience for effi ciency.

* Fix a leak: Whether they’re from an outdoor spigot, an indoor toilet or a faucet, leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted in homes every year, according to the EPA. Keep your home leak-free by investing in easy-to-install, effi cient fi xtures throughout the home.

* Update your bathroom faucet: While you should turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, you can also fi nd a faucet that uses less water while it runs. According to the EPA, the average family can save 700 gallons of water per year by retrofi tting their bathroom faucets with water-effi cient models. Th ese new models fl ow at 1.5 gallons per minute (GPM) versus the standard 2.2 GPM. Th e EPA reports if every home in the United States

replaced existing faucets and aerators with more effi cient models, the country would save 64 billion gallons of water annually.

* Install a new toilet: Toilets use more water than any other fi xture in the home, according to the EPA. Accounting for nearly 30 percent of an average home’s indoor water consumption, it’s important to know that older models can use as much as 6 gallons per fl ush while newer, WaterSense-labeled versions use 1.28 gallons per fl ush, the EPA says. Replacing the toilets in your home can make a huge impact on your household’s water usage and may save up to 13,000 gallons per year.

The Ipswich Family YMCA AnnouncesAdditional Summer Camp Location In Rowley

Historic Girl Scout Camp in Rowley Gets New Beginning as YMCA Summer CampThis summer, the Ipswich Family YMCA will expand their

summer camp options with additional programming at the former Girl Scout camp at 390 Wethersfield Street in Rowley. The YMCA is thrilled to carry on the strong tradition of a positive, safe nurturing environment for children and families. The Ipswich Y will begin operating Rowley Summer Camp in June bringing more than 150 years of summer camp experience to this beautiful location filled with wooded trails, lodges, a swimming pool and ropes course. It will provide a wide range of activities in the perfect setting for a summer chock full of family fun.

An Open House on June 20th (10:00am-12:00noon) will give people the opportunity to tour the location, meet the experienced staff and understand the wonderful summer camp atmosphere this location presents for Rowley and the surrounding communities.

For more than 50 years, The Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts owned and operated the nearly 207-acres located just off Route 1. Since the 1960s, this camp location has provided thousands of girls across Massachusetts and New Hampshire in 178 communities, with a fun camp experience.

Ipswich Y Associate Executive Director, Merri-Lynn Lathrop said, “We are so excited to bring our camp expertise to this historic location and expand our camp activities for kids in Rowley and its neighboring towns. We all know this camp is a special place and the Y is thrilled to be breathing new life into it for years to come.”

The Y impacts more than 20,000 kids from all incomes and backgrounds across the North Shore. It continues its commitment to youth development during the summer months by providing all kids with the opportunity to explore the outdoors, build confidence, try new things and participate in a variety of activities regardless of their ability to pay. Summer is a critical time to keep kids engaged and active and this new Rowley location enables the Ipswich Family YMCA to offer more programs to more kids and that’s what summer is all about.

You Know What I MeanBrighter Smiles...

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

procedure. “I need to cancel my cleaning appointment. Oh, you don’t have anything for me for 2 months? Th at’s okay, it’s just a cleaning”, is commonly heard in the dental offi ce.

For many, two months off schedule for their “periodontal maintenance”, a better term to describe a “cleaning”, can mean a step backwards for their dental health and require more treatment to get them back to where they were. Th is also does not take into account the fact that there are other important procedures done at those appointments, such as oral cancer screenings.

Th e other day I read a column in Th e Wall Street Journal entitled, “Are Crowns Made in a Day Worth the No Wait?” Th is article describes some of the uses of CAD/CAM (computer-aided-design / computer-aided milling) technology to produce “crowns” for teeth the same day in the dental offi ce. Th e technology is used in about 10-15% of dental offi ces.

Th e term “crown”, or “cap” as some people use, usually make patients cringe. “I need a crown? I thought I just needed the fi lling replaced”, is common to hear. Patients tend to think that they are losing their tooth if they need a crown. While this is not the case, what if the dentist said that you need an onlay? Have you heard that term?

In the article mentioned above, there was not one mention of the term onlay. An onlay, or partial crown, for lack of a better description, is one of the major advantages of CAD/CAM technology. It often allows the dentist to perform more minimally invasive dentistry for specifi c teeth.

Th e primary focus of the article was to point out that these CAD/CAM crowns may not be the best choice for patients or dentists if used on front teeth. Th e argument is that a dental ceramist in a dental laboratory can make “prettier” teeth than a dentist can in a dental offi ce. While this is usually true, the column downplayed some of the major advantages I see with the use of this technology.

Th e materials we use and the services we perform in the dental offi ce are constantly changing. Don’t get hung-up on words. Ask questions! Keep an open mind and become an active participant in your dental health.

It is always interesting to me hearing the diff erent things people say in the dental offi ce that seem to be “standard” among the general population. Some of the information seems innate, or built-in, in that everyone uses the same terms even though they are technically incorrect.

For example, most people use the term “Novocain”. Even dentists, including myself, use this term daily to describe the local anesthetic used to anesthetize or “numb” teeth before they are worked on. Novocain, apparently still available for purchase, has not been used in dentistry for probably 100 years, but we still use the term because everyone seems to know what we mean.

Another term that is commonly used by patients and those in the dental offi ce is “cleaning”. Th is term is a poor choice of words to accurately describe the service that a hygienist performs. Th e problem with this word is that it downplays the actual

Preparing to Movedrums, thirty years of Christmas decorations, every Tupperware item ever produced, prom gowns, a Lionel train set, baby carriages, cribs, rocking horses and several full sets of dishes. Th ere were boxes of school work marked “A+” and more grammar school artwork than that found in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

As this man stood staring at the dumpster, I happened to notice that he was holding a Bic pen in his hands. Th e pen had run out of ink and although it seemed useless, it will forever be remembered as the fi rst item to be tossed into the huge dumpster. Let the games begin. Out went the chipped cups and saucers, the three legged piano bench, the broken record player from the ‘60s, the sofa that would never be reupholstered. What began as an overwhelming undertaking evolved into an empowering feeling as the burden of too much “stuff ” began to lighten.

You can do this. You can have a yard sale. You can give items to charities. Once you throw an old empty pen away, you are good to go. Good Luck!

that you know for certain you will not be bringing to your new home. You have now begun the process of decluttering and doing so will save you money as well as the valuable time and physical strain of moving items you do not need.

It may be a diffi cult concept to adopt but it is said that if you have not worn it or used it within the past six months, get rid of it.

If you are using a professional moving company, they often off er dumpsters and/or storage units to assist with your move. Some of them also are in the business of off ering invaluable tips to help you organize your move. Some of these companies will supply boxes, wrapping and taping materials and do all of your packing for you. What they cannot do for you, however, is to decide what gets moved on to your new life and what does not.

I once watched a man stand next to the dumpster that had just been delivered to his driveway. He was overwhelmed with the thirty years of “stuff ” that was jam packed into his house, basement, attic, garage, shed and workshop. He had his grown children’s baby booties. He had his mother’s, grandmother’s and great grandmother’s photo albums. Th e garage was overfl owing with broken sleds, red wagons missing wheels and bicycles without chains. He was going to fi x them all “some day”.

Th e basement had narrow walkways lined with a full set of

Just last week I was with a client who expressed how stressed she was every time she thought about moving from the large home where she and her family lived for over three decades. She echoed a very common dilemma… “I don’t know where to begin.”

One of the fi rst things to do in a house full of “stuff ” is to begin to think about the belongings you will bring with you and the belongings you will not bring with you. Th is seemingly straight forward task of categorizing can become daunting to those who have trouble “letting go”. If this characterization feels familiar, take a walk from room to room for the purpose of doing nothing more than merely looking at everything in the room. Your “tour” should include closets, attic, basement, garage, workshop and shed.

By the time you reach your shed, you may have convinced yourself that you will never be able to accomplish such a move…….but you can.

Now take another walk through your property but this time bring a roll of multi colored sticky dots with you. Place a red dot on items that you know for certain you will be bringing to your new home. Use blue dots for items

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Still operating under a full head of self-esteem makes you want to tackle a matter you had shied away from. OK. But be sure to arm yourself with facts before you make a move.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That smart move

you recently made caught the attention of a lot of people, including some with financial deals to offer. Use your Taurean wariness to check them out thoroughly.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Shyness might keep you from asking for more information on a potentially important matter. But your curiosity grows stronger by midweek and gives you the impetus for data-gathering.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking on too many tasks may not be the wise thing to do at this time. You might overspend both your physical and emotional energy reserves, and have to miss out on some upcoming events.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Try to keep your spending at an affordable level. Splurging now -- especially on credit -- could create a problem if your finances are too low for you to take advantage of a possible opportunity.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might not approve of a colleague’s behavior during much of the week. But don’t play the judgmental Virgo card here. As always, check the facts before you assume the worst. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Coping with an old issue that has suddenly

re-emerged could take a big toll on your emotional energies. Decide whether you really want to pursue the possibilities here.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) For all your skill in keeping your secrets safe, you could be unwittingly letting one slip out by the way you’re behaving in that new relationship. Are congratulations soon to be in order?SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Good old-fashioned horse sense could help you get around those who unknowingly or deliberately put obstacles in your way. Ignore the confusion and follow your own lead.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A puzzling attitude change in a colleague from friendly to chilly might stem from a long-hidden resentment suddenly bubbling up. An open and honest talk should resolve the problem.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) This week, many ever-generous Aquarians might find themselves feeling an acquisitive urge. If so, indulge it. You’ve earned the right to treat yourself to wonderful things.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Expect to get a lot of advice on how to go about implementing your plans. But once you’ve sorted it all out, you’ll probably find that, once again, your way will be the best way.BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy the quiet times of your life, but when you’re in the mood, you can throw a party everyone will want to go to.
