NEWBURYPORT – As the city celebrates its 250th anniversary, the annual Yankee Homecoming festival launches this weekend and continues through Aug. 3.

Th e 57th Yankee Homecoming will honor all the volunteers that not only make this event a yearly success, but all those who work for free for organizations throughout the community year round.

Th e event theme this year is: VOLUNTEER – YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

Michael Volpone, Yankee Homecoming 2014 general chair wrote: “Yankee Homecoming has been very fortunate to have had several thousand dedicated and gifted volunteers over the past 56 years. I know this year we will continue this custom and encourage new people to join us in creating a team that brings innovative ideas, talents and energy to YHC ’14.”

Th ere are many benefi ts to volunteering to both the

o rgan i za t ion and the v o l u n t e e r , according to Volpone.

“ W h e n you volunteer or join any of the many amazing civic/c o m m u n i t y organizations/charities, such as Yankee Homecoming, your unique skills, talents

and your infl uence can reinforce the foundation of that group,” the Newburyport native wrote. “Your involvement will help build and maintain the organization’s ability to attain their goals while having a good time. By volunteering, you will play a key role in building and enhancing the community in which we live. New people bring new ideas and new changes.”

Close to 100 people step up each year to volunteer their skills and time to make the festival happen. Th ere is no paid staff .

Many volunteers return each year, but there is attrition each year. Th is year, Volpone had to fi ll fi ve of the major volunteer positions on the committee. He hopes the event will attract as many as 20 new faces to work on next year's event.

For this year's event, which was started by the late George Cashman in 1958 as an economic development promotion for the city, will see the return of several

Bee Group Forms To EducatePublic About Insecticides

Houses along High Street are decorated patriotically for the Yankee Homecoming parade.

REGIONAL – Last week about 60 people, including beekeepers from across Massachusetts, drove through a drenching downpour to sit in a sweltering Masonic Lodge in downtown Beverly to discuss for about two hours what can be done to persuade cities and towns and individual property owners from spreading harmful chemicals that kill bees.

In the audience were four lawyers, including the renowned environmental attorney Jan Schlichtmann, who are assisting the group in gathering information about the contributing factors in the death of bees.

Also in the audience was Beverly Mayor Michael Cahill, who came to learn about the impact insecticides are having on the population of bees and other pollinators.

According to several recent studies, the honey bee population in the U.S. has declined by 30 percent in recent years, with some beekeepers reporting losses up to

90 and 100 percent. Th e beekeepers and others who

came to talk about the decline in bee population left the meeting “fi red up and passionate,” said Anita Deeley of Beverly, who raises bees and helped organize the meeting.

Th e original stated purpose of the meeting was to help the attorneys build a class-action law suit to stop the spread of insecticides in Essex County and beyond. Schlichtmann, best known for his 1980s lawsuit against W. R. Grace and Beatrice Co. for allegedly contaminating the Woburn water supply, former Beverly City Councilor Scott Dullea, an attorney, and two associates took extensive notes, but acted primarily as advisers to the beekeepers.

Th e conclusion was that “it is too early” to be thinking about a law suit, said Todd Klibansky of Rowley, who with his wife Kim is one of the group organizers.

Bee Group Forms To EducatePublic About Insecticides

Th e focus of the group is now to build an organization that educates government offi cials and the average homeowner that the insecticides – from aerial spraying to fertilizers that make lawns greener – kill bees.

“A green lawn is like a parking lot to bees,” Todd Klibansky said. Calling a green lawn a food dessert for pollinators, he said, “Th ere is nothing there for a bee.”

According to a new study from the Harvard School of Public Health, two widely used neonicotinoids, a class of insecticide, appear to harm honey bee colonies signifi cantly over winter, particularly during colder winters.

Th e study, published in the May 9 issue of the Bulletin of Insectology, confi rmed a link between low doses of insecticides and Colony Collapse Disorder, in which bees abandon their hives over the winter and eventually

die.For this study, researchers

examined 18 bee colonies at three diff erent apiaries in central Massachusetts over the course of a year. Four colonies at each apiary were regularly treated with realistic doses of neonicotinoid pesticides, while six hives were left untreated. Of the 12 hives treated with the pesticides, six were wiped out.

Deeley said the Harvard researchers found that Essex County has one of the highest concentrations of pesticides in its soil and water. Th e researchers said they were uncertain why Essex County has such high concentrations.

Bees transfer contaminated pollen from primarily pesticide-treated corn crops and bring it back to their hives. Th ey also transfer these pesticides to other plants and crops that are not treated with the chemicals, the researchers found.

Manufacturers of pesticide have

disputed these fi ndings, saying the chemicals degrade quickly.

“Most people, who go to the big box stores wanting to make their lawns greener, are unaware of the impact they are having on bees and other pollinators,” Todd Klibansky said.

Th e group, which as yet has no name, is building a database of those interested in working on the problem of insecticides and helping educate others about the need to avoid using insecticides. Other organizers of the group include Gretel Clark of Hamilton, Randy Johnson and Marty Jessel of Boxford, Rich Girard of Salem and Tony Lulek of Holliston.

If interested in participating, please email the group at [email protected].

If you want to purchase a sign for your yard asking that it not be sprayed with insecticide, contact Anita Deeley at http://www.beverlybees.com/product/no-spraying-sign/.

5TH ANNUAL HAMPTON BEACH COMEDY FESTIVAL

The 5th Annual Hampton Beach Comedy Festival kicks off with a superb lineup of standup comedians from Boston and New England on July 24-25 at Ashworth by the Sea, the landmark hotel on Ocean Boulevard. Highlights of this year’s event include the last local public performance of the year from Jimmy Dunn, who leaves for Los Angeles to shoot the CBS sitcom The McCarthys in August. Tickets are on sale now at the Ashworth by the Sea, on-line at Eventbrite.com/e/Hampton-beach-comedy-festival or at the door on show night if space allows. For more information, go to scampscomedy.com or hamptonbeachcomedy.com. Dunn, who lives in Hampton, founded the festival five years ago as a way to break up the summer. “It was a fun way for me to invite guys up for a visit, and to get out and see folks that I usually see on the beach or around town,” said Dunn. “I was doing a lot of travelling then. This year, with the sitcom (which will air on Thursday nights at 9:30 beginning Oct. 30), it’s a way to catch up with

folks before I go to Hollywood.” Comedians from previous festivals have gone on to write or perform comedy on national network shows such as The Tonight Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Comedy Central. But career success was secondary to the ability to make audiences laugh. This year’s list of comics includes some old favorites and new favorites. The first night lineup features Paul Gilligan, Dave Rattigan, Chris Pennie, Mac Livingston, Will Noonan, and Hampton's Josh Day. For the July 25 finale, Dunn will be joined by Lamont Price, Katie Grady, Jeff Koen, Abhishek Shah, and Jesse Bickford, another seacoast native who currently lives in Dover. “Jimmy just picks guys that he likes, and that he wants his friends and neighbors from Hampton to see,” said Rattigan, a comedian who has performed in three previous festivals. “The bonus used to be that if you were on the same night he was on, you could stop at his house before the gig and he’d cook you a steak. If you were on a night that he wasn’t on, you’d go to the beach and get a slice and some fried dough. “Unlike other festivals, the focus is really just on having fun and enjoying comedy,” Rattigan said. “There are no contests, and no entry fee, no actors that aren’t ready for standup showcases or guys who are only in high-profile spots because their agent placed them there. These are funny guys who are picked to be here because they’re funny, and they’re here to enjoy the show. You see comics hanging out with the people before and afterwards, and it’s just very loose, and very fun.” “I’m really excited to be doing this,” said Bickford, a southern Maine native who is performing in the festival for the first time. “It’s great to be involved with a comedy festival that’s so well-known, and to be with such high caliber comedians. Performing with Jimmy, before he leaves for L.A., will be a lot of fun.” The doors open at 7 p.m. for the 8 p.m. shows, each of which will feature six comedians. Tickets are $18. Patrons must be 21-plus. There is a full bar in the showroom. For comedians bios, more photos, and more information, go to scampscomedy.com or hamptonbeachcomedy.com.

(BPT) - You already know grilling is a healthful, fl avorful and fun way to cook while enjoying the great outdoors. But did you know it can also be a "green" activity? By choosing earth-friendly fuel options, better ingredients and sustainably sourced seasonings, you can satisfy your family's taste buds and Mother Nature with these greener grilling tips:

* Grilling with charcoal briquettes imparts a wonderful fl avor to foods, but many cooks resort to a squirt (or several) of lighter fl uid to get the coals burning faster. Forego the lighter fl uid and invest in a charcoal chimney - a metal cylinder that makes it easy to get charcoal started. Briquettes go on the grate atop the chimney and newspaper goes at the bottom.

When you light the paper, the chimney eff ect of the tube lights the charcoal from the bottom quickly and easily.

* Many people use disposable dinnerware for outdoor dining. While it may be convenient to not have to wash those dishes, reusable dinnerware and table linens are better for the environment and cheaper in the long term. Plus, cloth napkins and real plates impart a special charm to dining al fresco.

* Th is summer, why not try meat and poultry from free-range or grass-fed animals, rather than factory farmed? Better yet, select meat from a local farmer, buy organic or go vegan or vegetarian. Firm tofu, Portobello mushrooms and even polenta are healthy and trendy alternatives to meat. Such options reduce the environmental impact of your meal, and they often taste much better!

* Seasonings are a great way to add fl avor without fat to your grilled meats and vegetables. When you choose sustainably sourced spices and herbs from purveyors like Frontier Natural Co-op, you're not only getting outstanding fl avor, but you can be assured the seasonings have been produced using practices that are better for the environment, too.

* When purchasing produce, look for local options. Locally grown veggies and fruits travel a shorter distance to make it to your grill, meaning less fossil fuel is consumed overall.

* You can conserve resources without skimping on fl avor if you make marinades using whole spices that you've pan roasted and freshly cracked before blending. Flavored and artisan black pepper corns, salts and sugars are trendy right now. You can also incorporate artisan vinegars, fi ne drinking wines and unusual beers into your marinades to create unique and pleasing fl avors.

* Do you love adding smoke to your grilling? Rather than buying pre-soaked planks or pre-processed briquettes, try smoking by soaking whole herbs, spices and tea leaves in water then throwing them on the hot coals to create unusually fl avored smoke blends that go far beyond basic mesquite and hickory.

To get you started, try this blackening spice recipe from Frontier Natural Co-op:Paprika, Garlic and Th yme Barbecue RubRubs are key to a fl avorful barbecue. Season your meat one hour before cooking for grilled items, and a day

ahead for smoked meats. Th is recipe works especially well for ribs, but it's good on almost anything you'd want to barbecue or grill, such as chicken, turkey, steaks, burgers, fi rm fi sh or shrimp. For fi sh dishes, consider adding a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest.

Prep time: 10 minutesYield: 1/2 cupIngredients: 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons Frontier paprika, 1 1/2 tablespoons Frontier sea

salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons Frontier ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon Frontier garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Frontier thyme, 1 teaspoon Frontier cayenne (or to taste, may be omitted)

Directions: Mix together all ingredients. Rub into chosen cut of meat. For best results, allow to marinate one hour to overnight before grilling.

Greener Grilling: Good for you andfor Mother Nature, too

(BPT) - For most kids, the fi nal school bell signals a break from learning and a focus on summer fun, but for parents it often means an uphill battle to beat the "summer slide" in their child's learning. Signifi cant knowledge and skills gained during the previous school year can be lost if children don't participate in enrichment and learning activities during summer break.

In fact, children run the risk of losing newly learned Common Core curriculum skills they developed during the year.Th e good news for parents who are concerned about the summer slide is that several Common Core teachings can be

easily adapted from the classroom to fun summer projects conducted at home and in the community."Th e summer slide can mean a child may spend the fi rst two months of the new school year playing catchup instead

of learning new material," says Dr. Ashley Norris, assistant dean of the College of Education at University of Phoenix. "Parents need to plan a balanced mix of activities for their children during the summer that not only include sports and extracurricular activities, but learning activities that emphasize math and reading skills."

Norris, who prepares prospective and current teachers to address dynamics in schools and the classroom, recommends parents incorporate Common Core themes into the summer curriculum they plan for their children.

Here are six fun, educational activities that can help kids avoid the summer slide and also provide parents with opportunities to connect with their children.

1. Turn everyday activities into learning opportunities - According to a recent University of Phoenix College of Education survey, 38 percent of teachers believe Common Core curriculum ties learning to real-world scenarios. Errands are an easy way to engage children in reading and math skills. Consider having your child help make the grocery list, go shopping with you and practice adding up the bill and calculating the tax.

2. Seek inspiration from community events and activities - Visit the farmers market to learn about vegetables and teach the importance of healthy eating. Attend concerts and then ask your child to research his favorite musical instruments. Head to the local nature center to learn about native plants and then return home and ask the kids to draw what they saw.

3. Embrace technology and create interactive projects and activities - Apps and websites such as Pinterest are making Common Core projects available for parents to set up at home. Pinterest has new math and reading challenges that are posted daily. You can also search for Common Core apps developed by schools across the country combining video games with math and science skills.

4. Focus on core competencies - Look for activities that emphasize core skills such as math and reading. Creating a cooking project is one of the best ways to integrate these skills as children are required to follow directions of a recipe and learn about cooking elements such as time, temperature and measuring ingredients.

5. Balance academic and social engagement - Look for activities or summer camps that not only promote social skill development, but allow for knowledge in specifi c content areas. Science and technology camps provide hands-on learning projects such as bridge building, mouse-trap cars or the construction of robots. Many science museums off er home projects on their websites.

6. Plan a trip to the library - Common Core requires students to conduct in-depth research from multiple sources and then discuss their fi ndings with peers. Families can do similar activities throughout the summer. Each family member can search for information on a chosen topic then set a time to gather and discuss the fi ndings, which research tools were used and if more information is available. Make it a game by voting for the family member who found the most interesting or unique fact.

If you keep them engaged during the summer break, your children can pick up right where they left off when the school bell rings in the fall.

“Who Ya Gonna Call?”...that there was a “little girl ghost” who had been appearing in front of the dining room fireplace for generations. The owner explained that the little girl had been “taken by the Indians” and that she kept returning in her little pale yellow dress. The owner offered the information very matter of factly while she showed me the property. She moved on to the next room while I stood transfixed to that fireplace and to the “Indian barricades” that still hung at the windows.

If I had been asked if I had seen a ghost in the house my answer would have been “No.” If I had been asked if the seller had ever seen a ghost in the house my answer would have been “The seller told me that she has.”

Over the decades there have been huge old structures such as prisons, hospitals, schools and firehouses that have been converted and renovated as condos and townhouses. The “ghost stories” are plentiful.

One listing agent arrived at the construction site of an old psychiatric facility. She had an appointment to meet someone from the fire department and just as she stepped out of her car she saw him making his way very quickly out of the building. He slowed down only long enough to warn her not to go inside. She followed him to his vehicle and he told her “Someone else will have to come back here. I just saw a ghost on the stairs leading to the second floor and I’m done here.”

As it happened, several workmen had reported paranormal activity that included “sightings”. Applying Massachusetts law, however, unless she was specifically asked, the listing agent has no duty to disclose.

Someone very close to me (and you know who you are) watches every ghost show on the planet. I have no doubt that if he were in

There appears to be an explosion of “ghost shows” on television in recent years and the increased notoriety of the topic of paranormal activity has not been lost within the real estate industry. Disclosure laws concerning perceived paranormal activity in a property for sale differ from state to state. Massachusetts, however, does not impose a duty on the seller or broker to offer any information to a prospective buyer or tenant:

MGL c. 93, s.114: "Psychologically impacted" Properties. Sellers and brokers do not have to disclose to buyers or tenants the fact that a property is perceived to be tainted by the health of a previous occupant, a murder or suicide, or paranormal phenomena. However, they may not be deceitful in answers to questions about the property.

Whether the real estate professional takes paranormal activity seriously or not, Massachusetts law does impose a duty to answer questions honestly. That duty to inform is triggered by the specific question posed by the buyer or the tenant. If the seller told the listing agent that the seller believed the house to be haunted, that representation will not be included in marketing materials nor will visitors hear “Welcome to our Open Haunted House.”

If the seller told the listing agent that every Sunday between 2p and 3p, the lights go out and the beds levitate, the agent might be wise to schedule the open house for 12p to 1:30p.

Several years ago I listed an oceanfront property that was built in 1690. The owner told me

the market for a house, he would ask several questions about any paranormal activity. He would have a legal right to receive honest answers. I must admit to remaining open to possibilities that I have yet to experience (as far as I know).

The duty to disclose is not always clear, but when in doubt, ethics require that we err on the side of caution as sellers and brokers. Buyers and tenants have a right to truthful answers to their specific questions. If you have any doubt or suspect that your property may be haunted…….Who Ya Gonna Call?....... (Find yourself a Ghostbuster)…….

Information for the AgingBrighter Smiles...

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

A lack of dental visits can result in untreated tooth decay and gum disease. Both of these can lead to lost teeth. Missing teeth, toothache or mouth pain also can change how and what you eat. Th is means you may not get the nutrients you need to stay healthy.

Visiting the dentist is especially important for older people because they may have other medical conditions. Th ese conditions can create dental problems. Hundreds of medicines can cause side eff ects in your mouth. Some of these, such as dry mouth, can increase the risk of tooth decay or other oral health problems.

Saliva is a natural cavity-fi ghter. It neutralizes acids produced by bacteria that can cause tooth decay. Saliva helps wash away food and bacteria. It also contains minerals that strengthen teeth. Dry mouth reduces saliva. Th is makes you more vulnerable to cavities. Dentists can treat dry mouth. Th ey also can prescribe fl uoride rinses or gels to help keep teeth strong.

Older people are more likely to get cavities for other reasons, too. Receding gums can allow acids to get to the roots of teeth and cause cavities. Older fi llings will break down leaving teeth susceptible to decay.

People who have lost all of their teeth often think they don't need to visit the dentist anymore. But most people without teeth have dentures. Regular dental visits will help

Health & Wellness

to keep dentures in good condition and fi tting properly. Th e bone under your gums changes over time. Dentures that fi t fi ne at one visit may need to be replaced or altered at the next visit.

Oral cancer also aff ects older people, whether or not they have teeth. Each year, about 8,000 Americans die of oral cancer. More than half of these deaths are in people 65 or older. Smoking and alcohol use also increase the risk of oral cancer. If oral cancer is detected early, it can be treated successfully. Avoiding the dentist makes early detection less likely.

Consistent and eff ective home care is vital for the protection of your teeth. If you have trouble handling a toothbrush or fl oss because of arthritis, a disability or an illness, special toothbrushes and fl oss holders are available. Th ey have been adapted to be easier to hold. Sometimes a standard electric toothbrush is all you’ll need. Your dentist or dental hygienist can help you fi nd alternatives to make the job easier.

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to health-centered family dentistry.

You may think that as you get older, you'll lose some of your teeth. You probably know older people who have bridges, dentures or implants to replace missing teeth. It may seem obvious that tooth loss is just another part of aging. It is not.

Just as taking care of your body can keep you active, taking care of your teeth can ensure that you keep them. If your teeth and gums are healthy, there's no reason for you to lose your teeth.

One of the keys to keeping teeth for a lifetime is to visit a dentist regularly. But many older people don't.

Many older people grew up during a time when preventive dental care was not emphasized. Some may not realize how important it is. Th ey may believe that toothaches, bleeding gums, loose teeth or mouth pain are just part of getting older. In fact, these can be signs of gum disease, or other problems.

Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are important. During an exam, your dentist checks for tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Is someone at work resisting that Aries charm? Hard to believe. But seriously, Lamb, you might want to back up your ideas with some solid data, and then watch the yeas pile on.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your hard work

could pay off in ways you didn't expect, but certainly deserve. Tend to that pesky health problem now so you'll be in top shape to tackle the new projects coming up.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Planning a family event can be stressful unless you make it clear from the start that you're in charge. You might accept suggestions, but it will be your decisions that count.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You still have a way to go to bring that professional matter to a satisfactory conclusion. Meanwhile, an important personal situation could require more of your attention by week's end.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Th ere's something about you Fine Felines that makes people want to tell you secrets. But once again, be wary of who is doing the telling. You might not want to be that person's confi dante.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Creating a fuss about a family matter might get everyone's attention. But it might be better to talk one-on-one with family members in order to spare a loved one unnecessary embarrassment.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You're making progress on that career move, albeit not as quickly as you had hoped. But stay with it. Your personal life takes an unexpected (but very welcome) new turn.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) If you feel you've been unfairly treated in a workplace decision, correct the situation now while there's still time to do so. Arm yourself with facts, and go to it. Good luck.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Devising your own system of doing things might be the best way to handle an increasingly complex situation. But do it tactfully in order to avoid ruffl ing too many of your colleagues' feathers.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A family member's health problem might once again require you to shift some of your current priorities around. But this time, make certain other relatives will be there to help.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Catching up on tasks you've left undone will take a while to accomplish. But the sooner you complete them, the sooner you'll be able to take on another time-sensitive project. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might feel swamped by all that you're expected to do. But take a moment to come up for air, then handle things one at a time, and you'll soon get through them all.BORN THIS WEEK: Although you love being home with your family, you also enjoy traveling and making new friends.
