AMESBURY – When Kevin Ouellet is told, as he often is these days, that he has some big shoes to fi ll as the next Amesbury police chief, he is quick to point out that technically his shoes are larger than Chief Mark Gagnon.

Gagnon, 56, is retiring this month after serving as chief for three years. Mayor Th atcher Kezer named Ouellet acting chief and will swear him in as the new chief on July 1, the day after the city celebrates the retirement of the very popular Gagnon with a party at the Amesbury Sports Park.

“He is a class act to follow,” Ouellet said recently. An Amesbury native and graduate of Amesbury High School, Ouellet, 52,

has been a police offi cer for the city for 31 years. He joined the department in 1980 as an auxiliary offi cer, became the city's second K-9 handler a year later and then a reserve offi cer in 1982. He joined the

NEWBURYPORT – Th is historic river town has great shopping and dining. On State, Inn, Pleasant, Water streets residents and visitors stroll daily into a wide variety of shops and restaurants.

But this city, which traces its history to a pre-Revolutionary War shipping, trading and fi shing economy, is much more.

“Newburyport has a wealth of beautiful architecture and is unique because of what still exists as it was built,” writes Candace Chapman Erickson in her Shipyard & Dooryard, a small guide to the city's past.

Her book outlines four walking tours of the city from downtown to High Street to the North End to Joppa Flats.

“Th e downtown section is famous because of the restoration of the Federal Buildings. However, there

is much more to Newburyport than the downtown. You must walk to see it.”

Published by and available at the Custom House Maritime Museum, 25 Water Street, for $6.75, the small book outlines four walking tours, “designed to show not only the architectural elements of the neighborhoods, but to show who lived there and what they did.”

department as a full-time officer in 1984 and has served on the sexual assault unit and was the regional SWAT commander for six towns and cities.

He was promoted to sergeant in 2001 and to lieutenant/executive officer in 2010.

“I have seen a lot of changes in the department,” he said during a tour of the police station. Since 1980, the department has undergone a lot of changes in personnel, technology and demands from the community.

Along the way, Ouellet earned his bachelor’s degree from Springfield College and a master’s degree in police administration at Western New England University.

He has been married to Sandy, an educator, for 28 years, and they have raised two children, Tyler and Courtney.

When Gagnon became chief, he began grooming Ouellet to be his successor. When Gagnon decided to retire after only three years, it stunned his protege, who expected to remain the second in command for several more years.

But he feels Gagnon prepared him well to be chief.

“There were only a few places the chief went without me,” he said.

That meant a long days as he served as chief in waiting and did his own job. Rarely did he head home until after everyone else on the day shift had left.

Gagnon planned his retirement for this month after he completed the budget process for next year with the mayor and city council.

But he left a full plate for Ouellet, who describes the 31-officer department as “excellent.”

High on his agenda is acquiring a federal grant to allow the department to assign two full-time police officers to the middle and high schools.

Even before the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut, the Amesbury police have been spending a lot of hours walking the halls of the schools.

“The call volume from the schools has jumped two to three times,” he said. Most of the calls are about students with mental

health issues or those committing crimes.

Gagnon and Ouellet believe that having two full-time officers assigned to the schools not only will build familiarity with the staff and students, but it will allow the officers to nurture trusting relationships that will help them solve issues early.

“We want to get to it before it happens,” Ouellet said.

The other major project for Ouelet is transitioning the communications for the department to a regional call center. The Essex County Regional Communications Center will be up and running this fall, serving six cities and towns, including Amesbury, Beverly, Topsfield, Essex and Middleton.

The new center, which will handle both police and fire calls, will have four or five people responding to phone calls from the six municipalities instead of having one in Amesbury.

In the event of a major event, Amesbury police can rely on several officers manning the phones, Ouellet said.

The regional communications center will also save the city's police and fire departments about $240,000 year.

The downside of the regional center will be in Middleton and the officers on the phones will not be from Amesbury.

Not knowing the person on the other end of the radio “will be a major transition for the guys to get used to,” Ouellet said.

Each department will also have mesh their policies, he said.

He expects other cities in the area, including Newburyport and Salisbury, will be looking closely at joining the regional communications center “now that it is real,” he said.

Ouellet knows that his relationships with the department staff and with town officials are about to change. As chief, he will be in a more political job than running operations for the department.

Fortunately he said, “I know the mayor and city council members by their first names.”

Letters to the Editor provide a useful way of communicating concerns, issues, or suggestions to all members of the community.

The Town Common encourages all citizens to submit letters concerning issues of interest and concern to the local community.

Letters selected for publication may be edited for length and clarity. Some letters may serve as a catalyst for other articles or coverage, and community leaders and agencies will be offered an opportunity to respond to letters concerning their areas of responsibility.

All letters must be signed and include a daytime telephone number.

Letters may be submitted to:

Erickson's grandfather, John Evans, had been a ship joiner in the Currier shipbuilding yard. But like most residents and visitors she had never given much thought about what had happened in the city in its past. “Indeed, until I had taken the time to walk around the area, I had just never seen it. In fact, I had seen very little of Newburyport with an eye to historical detail.”She had her eyes opened by Esther Th ompson, a life-long resident. Th ompson took her to the banks of the Merrimack River and pointed out where her grandfather had worked in the John Currier Shipyard, the most prolifi c ship building in the 19th Century.

“Newburyport is truly a walking town. Take your time and notice the details. Th ey will help you appreciate what is all around you, whether you are here for a day or for a lifetime,” Erickson writes.

Th e fi rst walking tour starts at the Custom House, built in 1835. It was designed in a Greek Revival style by Robert Mills, who also designed the Washington Monument in the District of Columbia.

“Th e Custom House represented the power and presence of the still young United States government,” she writes.

From the spotting platform, the inspectors would identify the incoming vessels, ride out in a cutter, board the incoming vessel and inspect the cargo for items that could be taxed.

Walk along the riverfront, where once stood the heart of the city's maritime industry. Th e long wharves into the river bore names like Gunnison, Granger and Ferry.

Ships built upriver in the north end came to these wharves for

outfi tting. Also on these wharves were trading companies that imported silks, spices, scents, textiles and china.

During the Revolutionary War, these wharves were also used by privateers to unload the goods they captured on commandeered British ships.

Th is walking tour, which takes about an hour, wanders through downtown and over to the broad Federal Street where several historic mansions stand. It ends back at the Custom House.

Th e second tour is of High Street, where the Captains of Commerce built large mansions.

“In the early 1800s, High Street, or the country road, became the most popular street for the wealthiest merchants and master mariners to build their homes,” Erickson writes.

Th ey made their fortunes on the oceans as young men. As they grew older, they invested their fortunes in ships or the developing textile mills.

Th is walking tour starts at 89-91 High Street, built by a silversmith Joseph Moulton, and continues to 60 High Street, which was built in 1845 by Henry Titcomb, a shipbuilder.

It then brings you back to Barlett Pond, giving the history of many of the houses along this historic street.

Th e third walking tour is of the North End shipyard neighborhood. Anchored by the Currier shipyard, the homes here were owned by those involved with building ships. Between 1831 and 1884, Currier built 97 ships, one schooner, one steamer and one scow of 200 tons for a total tonnage of 80,869 tons.

Most of the evidence of the great

shipyard are long gone, but the houses still stand. Th e guidebook outlines the history of dozens of the houses along Merrimac Street and the side streets that lead to the waterfront.

Th e fourth tour is of Joppa, where the city's earliest maritime activities occurred. Newburyport was a hub of the now infamous “triangular trade,” where Yankee ships left Joppa headed for the West Indies to drop off fi sh and pick up sugar. Th ey would then head to Holland and Russia to drop off the sugar and pick up molasses, which back home in Newburyport was made into rum.

Th e ships and crews then took the rum and other goods to Africa to trade it for slaves, which they returned to the southern states, where they picked up cotton for the Newburyport textile mills.

Pick up a copy of your own walking tour guide at the Custom House Maritime Museum. And while you are there, visit this interesting museum that opened its doors in 1975, and before returning to the shops, inspect the treasures that the museum off ers.

-------------------IPSWICH - Th e Ipswich Public Library will conduct a survey of library services during the month of July. Th is survey is part of the library’s planning process. A committee of interested Ipswich residents met in May and again in June to conduct a SOAR exercise (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Results) and later to describe their visions for the future of the Town of Ipswich. Th e result of these meetings was a list of goals for the library over the next fi ve years. Th e community survey is the next step in the planning process. Th e survey will give the library staff information about the public’s satisfaction with current library services as well as possible future new services. “ Input and suggestions from library patrons will be vital to the success of our new Plan of Service 2014-2019,” according to Library Director Victor Dyer. Th e survey forms are available at the library and at the Town Hall in the Treasurer’s and the Town Clerk’s offi ces. An electronic version of the survey is available on the library’s website at www. ipswichlibrary.org. Click on ‘News’ then ‘Latest News.

In April 2012 Alison and her father Allen Pickwick opened up Pickwick Driving School in Amesbury off route 110 near the 495 overpass. Almost exactly a year later - due to the positive response of their classes they moved about half a mile up route 110 into a more comfortable and accessible location. ?We love our new location and we are very glad we could stay in Amesbury! We've found we've saved area students a lot of time and eff ort by being able to serve them here and cater to their lifestyles and time availability? mentioned Alison. A tour of their new location is not complete without a review of their fascinating automobile simulator.

?It's always a big hit with our students and they can even practice using a stick shift? her husband Jonathan pointed out. ?What's interesting to note is although the simulator does not actually move, fi rst time students often lurch forward or side to side when 'braking' or 'turning'? Jonathan mused.

One of the things Alison is most proud of is the school's emphasis on safety and incorporating technology to make the learning process easier and more interesting. From power point presentations and the driving simulator, to developing online class registrations that will soon allow students to pick and choose from road lesson days and times that work best, student convenience is a top priority. Th e Pickwick Driving School has identifi ed, for instance, that students often desire to take the class in ?friendship groups? so the school has built in a discount program for that! Alison, her father, and husband are constantly thinking of ways to improve the school's operation and teaching techniques and in fact Mr. Pickwick has won various awards in teaching which are applied to the program. ?Everything we do is to build a company worthy of enduring? is Mr. Pickwick's philosophy ?and really at the end of the day, our decisions are based on our students' needs - not the other way around!?

Although Mr. Pickwick has a Masters in Special Education, Alison has a degree in accounting. Her career in accounting has helped Alison immensely, but she points out a few of her lower tech hobbies help the business as well including creating faux brickwork inside the school and restoring her 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang. ?Th e most important thing in our business is communication and understanding the best way to provide our students a lifetime of memorable, safe and enjoyable driving.? Alison quoted her father, with a proud grin. Pickwick Driving School is located at 19 Macy St. in Amesbury and can be contacted at (978) 792-5235 and more info at www.LetsDrive.us

June Supper: Oven BBQ Chicken

June 26th will be the last Grange supper

until fall and will feature oven BBQ

chicken, potato salad, bean salad, baked

beans, and strawberry shortcake for

dessert. There are two seatings: 5 and 6

pm. We also do “to go” dinners. This

supper is very popular, so make your

978-948-7288. If you get an answering

machine, please leave your name, the

number of people in your party and the

Grange News

Well, here we are at the end of another

Grange year. We’ve had our election of

officers and they will be installed in the

fall. We’ve made our donations to other

organizations, and now we have to fill out

the report forms for the State and

National Grange on our activities for this

2012-2013 Grange year.

Wednesday the 19th we had an “eat out”

at the Blue Marlin Restaurant in Essex.

We had a great time with a good crowd.

This year Rowley Grange, through the

Sarah Wallis Peabody Scholarship Fund,

awarded 4 scholarships to students

planning to attend college in the fall. We

congratulate all the graduates, but

especially Neil Hanlon, who is a Grange

member, and volunteers time for the

Grange suppers. Hats off to you Neil!

Rowley Grange helps the community – won’t you join us?Rowley Grange, 29 Central St., P.O. Box 49, Rowley, MA 01969

Hall phone: 978-948-7288

Anniversaries Ahead

Next year, Rowley Grange will be

celebrating its 120th anniversary. The

Town of Rowley will be celebrating its

375th anniversary. Members of Rowley

Grange are working with the Town

Anniversary Committee and helping with

some of the events.

Grange Hall Renovation Hopes

While the Grange was unable to secure

a grant for 2013 to help with renovation

expenses, we will try again.

The Grange Hall is important, not just to

the Rowley Grange, but also to the

community. It is the only hall of its size in

Rowley that offers a separate dining area,

full kitchen, and meeting room. It is

handicap accessible with an exterior chair

lift, and an interior stair chair. The Grange

needs the support of the community and

the town to procure and raise the needed

funds.

Have You Considered Membership in the

Grange?

Rowley Grange would like to increase its

membership. We have a variety of

projects and as one member said” there is

much work, but few workers.”

Grangers have a lot of fun working

together and giving back to the

community. Our work is not hard, but

time is needed. Most active grangers give

4 hours or more a month to attend

meetings, committee meetings, or work

on projects.

This year Rowley Grange and our partners, T.J. Maxx of

Rowley, Dollar Store of Seabrook, Rowley C.O.A. and

Veterans Services helped with projects that benefitted

families in need and other individuals, as well as the entire

community.

DISHWASHER NEEDED in Fall

Rowley Grange will need a dishwasher for Grange

suppers starting in September, 2013. The dishwasher’s job

is to hand rinse dishes, load the automatic dishwasher,

unload dishwasher, and wash pot and pans.

Compensation for this service is offered. The job requires

about 4 hours worth of time, 5 to 8 pm.

Kwitcherbellyaching!to advance through the housing market in America.

Our Democracy based on capitalism works and it works like a charm in the housing market. If you want to own a home, work hard, save as much as you can and pay your bills on time. If you want to own a bigger home, work harder, save more and pay your bills early. Following that age old philosophy will put you on the road that leads you to the bank, to me and to your own new front door.

Th ose who would conspire and collude to take from those who have to give to those who have not would fair better somewhere else in the world with a society that does not encourage and reward hard work.

Th e housing market has reacted normally to the bacteria with which it has been infected. What has been referred to as the “bursting of a bubble” can be described as the draining of a purulent boil. As one who has practiced in both the healthcare fi eld and the real estate industry, I know that the healing starts when the puss has been drained and the wound is cleaned.

Even as I write, the banks will not give money to anyone unless they have demonstrated even more carefully than ever that they can pay it back. Th e festering boil has been treated for now and that is a good thing for my business and for my country. Th ere will never be a property that can not be sold and there will never be a bank that can not lend to a buyer who is qualifi ed to buy that property, so we may do well to “Kwitcherbellyaching” and “Use your head for something besides a hat rack.”

own, although it seems a bit harder to fi nd on the news these days. I wonder what has happened to personal accountability.

Not too many years ago we sat glued to the news as hundreds of politicians, industry captains and economy experts off ered opinions about the state of our economy and country. We heard frightening words. We saw panicked expressions. We watched hands in the air and fi ngers pointing across party lines. We heard one accounting after the other of how we “ended up” like this with the housing market and that we “ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BAILOUT THIS INSTANT” to survive as a nation. As I listened, however, I heard somewhere within my “hat rack”……nearly unperceivable, but defi nitely thick with a familiar old brogue…… “Kwitcherbellyaching!”

Th e ability to obtain fi nancing for housing has always been inextricably linked to one’s ability to pay. Th e process of lending responsibly is central to safeguarding the American dream for those who have worked hard enough to achieve it.

Within those past several years, however, two things happened. First, a “Ponzi” scheme developed whereby if a consumer had a pulse, he was granted money that he would never be able to repay. Certain “Ponzi” conspirators who are responsible for this abomination made a lot of money from bad loans. Secondly, too many Americans who have a duty to protect all Americans did not “use their heads for something besides a hat rack.”

We REALTOR®s are not in the business of housing just anybody. We house Americans who have unlimited opportunity to realize dreams in the most extraordinary “experiment” in the history of the world we call the Constitution of the United States of America. We walk Americans up the steps to their fi rst homes. We open the doors to second and third homes as the family dynamic changes over years of working hard

“Kwitcherbellyaching!” Th at’s what I heard for much of my youth from parents who had suff ered and worked harder than most of the generation they produced. Th ere was plenty of life between “Kwitcherbellyaching” and “Use your head for something besides a hat rack.” Th at life was chock full of love, laughter, tears and a strong work ethic. It was rooted in family who passed through Ellis Island and suff ered fools badly. Th ere is a common thread that runs through families like my

and sugar-free yogurt experienced no changes in the pH levels in their mouths. Subjects who ate cheese, however, showed a rapid increase in pH levels at each time interval, suggesting that cheese has anti-cavity properties.

The study indicated that the rising pH levels from eating cheese may have occurred due to increased saliva production (the mouth’s natural way to maintain a baseline acidity level), which could be caused by the action of chewing. Additionally, various compounds found in cheese may adhere to tooth enamel and help further protect teeth from acid.

“It looks like dairy does the mouth good,” says AGD spokesperson Seung-Hee Rhee, DDS, FAGD. “Not only are dairy products a healthy alternative to carb- or sugar-filled snacks, they also may be considered as a preventive measure against cavities.”

Cavities are caused by a bacterial imbalance on the teeth. This imbalance occurs based on each individual’s oral environment, dietary habits, and hygiene habits. By understanding what causes an imbalance in the oral environment, and by making adjustments, the bacterial imbalance can be controlled and a person’s cavity rate can be either reduced or eliminated.

Unfortunately, there is no “silver bullet”, “magic pill”, “guarantee”, or “vaccine” for dental decay. Dental cavities are a multifactorial, multi-pathogen bacterial disease. While brushing your teeth with fluoridated toothpaste is obviously good, controlling this disease goes way beyond a patient saying. “But I brush my teeth 4-5 times a day”.

Brighter Smiles...

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

As stated in a recent media release, there has been little research about how dairy products affect oral health. However, according to a new study published in the May/June 2013 issue of General Dentistry, the peer-reviewed clinical journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), consuming cheese and other dairy products may help protect teeth against cavities.

The study sampled 68 subjects ranging in age from 12 to 15, and the authors looked at the dental plaque pH in the subjects’ mouths before and after they consumed cheese, milk, or sugar-free yogurt. A pH level lower than 5.5 puts a person at risk for tooth erosion, which is a process that wears away the enamel (or protective outside layer) of teeth. “The higher the pH level is above 5.5, the lower the chance of developing cavities,” explains Vipul Yadav, MDS, lead author of the study.

The subjects were assigned into groups randomly. Researchers instructed the first group to eat cheddar cheese, the second group to drink milk, and the third group to eat sugar-free yogurt. Each group consumed their product for three minutes and then swished with water. Researchers measured the pH level of each subject’s mouth at 10, 20, and 30 minutes after consumption.

According to the AGD release, the groups who consumed milk
