REGIONAL – A 50-year-old 

mail box is being recycled and 

repainted to take on another, 

even more worthy responsibility. 

The box, painted in a U.S. flag 

motif, will be a repository for 

frayed and worn out American 

flags. 

This is the latest community 

project by Donnie Jarvis, an Iraq 

and Afghanistan war veteran who 

spends much of his free time 

helping and honoring veterans. 

Flags decorate a lawn in Groveland. 

Because Jarvis is designated 

by the town of Newbury to 

place flags on veteran’s graves, 

he was asked frequently how old 

American flags should be disposed 

of correctly and with dignity. 

“I feel the flag should be 

respected,” Jarvis said. “There 

are a lot of things that are not 

being respected today. I hope that 

teaching respect for the flag will 

lead to respect for other things.”

who will be in her class again next year hopes they can do it again. 

This was not a trip to the New England Aquarium or even to the 

pool at Cedarland. It was to the beach, but the students were not 

there to play. They came here to work, to help save the dunes on this 

often threatened barrier island. 

Koomen’s students, under the supervision of University of New 

Hampshire researchers Dr. Greg Moore and Alyson Eberhardt, came 

to plant beach grass in bare spots on the dunes. The students last 

week said they believe they planted between 120 and 200 clumps of 

beach grass in one afternoon. 

It was part of a much larger project that Moore and Eberhardt 

have been spearheading to restore the grass on beaches from Plum 

Island and Salisbury Beach north to Hampton Beach, NH. Moore

Free Mental Health & Wellness Forum Comes to Haverhill on June 23 

Event is part of educational outreach to residents on mental health issues 

HAVERHILL - A panel of 

experts will discuss mental health 

and its challenges at a forum 

called “Understanding Mental 

Wellness: Making Connections… 

Staying Healthy” on Thursday 

June 23, 2016. The event will be 

from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at 

the Haverhill Citizens Center, 10 

Welcome St. 

This is the second Englishspeaking 

program in a series of 

free mental health community 

forums presented by Holy 

Family Hospital and area health 

coalitions. The June 23 forum 

will be in collaboration with the 

Lower Merrimack Valley and 

Seacoast Health Partnership, 

which serves greater Haverhill. 

Topics that will be presented 

include, defining mental health 

and its relationship to overall 

medical, spiritual and physical 

wellness; accessing assistance and 

treatment; dealing with a loved 

one with a mental health issue 

from a caretaker’s perspective; 

and successfully coping with a 

mental health issue from a firstperson 

perspective. Information 

on area resources also will be 

available. 

In the last 18 months, nearly 

400 people have attended four of 

these forums, offered in Spanish 

and English, in Lawrence,

judge, along with Nancy Jones, 

of the Newburyport Five Cents 

Savings Bank. Chairpersons for 

the event are Ann Marie Salmon, 

of Re/Max on the River, and 

Peggy Egan, of My Cup of Tea, in 

West Newbury. Alison Tames has 

ably assisted them on numerous 

levels. 

A wide variety of specialty teas, 

scrumptious sandwiches and 

sweets, along with numerous 

prizes, bountiful gift baskets and 

raffles, will be offered at the June 

12 party. A cash bar will also be 

available. 

Ticket donations for the Mad 

Hatter Tea Party are $25 and 

may be obtained by calling Deb 

Green at (978) 225-6700 or by 

visiting Greetings by Design, 1 

Rear Water Street, Newburyport. 

Tickets may also be purchased 

at Glenn’s Food and Libations, 

the Tannery, 50 Water Street, 

Newburyport, on the day of the 

tea party. However, last year the 

event almost sold out, so earlier 

purchase of tickets is highly 

recommended. 

Haverhill and Methuen. 

According to the latest data 

issued in 2014 from the National 

Institute of Mental Health, an 

estimated 43.6 million adults in 

the United States age 18 or older 

— which represents 18.1% of 

all U.S. adults— were diagnosed 

with a mental illness within that 

year. 

Community health needs 

assessments conducted last year 

by Holy Family Hospital and the 

Health Partnership, revealed that 

emergency room visits, where 

mental health was the primary 

or associated cause, were higher 

in Lawrence, Haverhill and 

Methuen than the state average. 

Participants in several 

English and Spanish focus 

groups conducted for the needs 

assessment, identified mental 

health as a major problem for 

which people are in need of 

information, treatment, and 

assistance with coping skills. 

Speakers for the June 23 

forum include: Peter Amari, RN, 

psychological nurse practitioner, 

retired police officer; Cristen 

Sweet, LICSW, LADC 1,

Saving the Dunes: A Work in Progress 


estimates that the team of 

researchers, environmentalists, 

college students and elementary 

school students planted 40,000 

plants last year and 20,000 so far 

this year. 

The program in Massachusetts 

is funded by a grant to the 

National Wildlife Federation 

from a $100 million federal fund 

created after Hurricane Sandy 

ravaged the beaches along the 

Atlantic Ocean. The plantings in 

New Hampshire are funded by 

state funds. 

“We have a good system. It 

has worked well,” Moore said. 

The schools have responded 

enthusiastically. “I think we have 

met most of the (region’s) fourth 

graders,” he said. 

The lessons were well learned 

by the students. “It helps the 

community,” said Diana Reinoso, 

when asked why the dune planting 

project is important. “Without 

the sand dunes, the people who 

live there won’t have any beach 

and could lose their houses.” 

Daniel Lara explained the 

planting procedure. First, the 

students dig a hole in the sand 

to the depth of a typical trowel. 

Next, they put in a handful of 

peat moss, followed by a pinch 

of plant food. Then they separate 

the clumps of grass and place the 

plant’s roots in the peat moss.” 

“You give it some love,” chimed 

in Mason Foote, showing how 

they patted the sand around the 

plant. 

“That pops the air bubbles” 

around the roots, said Helena 

Mason. 

Some students grew attached to 

the plants. Julia Rodgers said she 

and her digging partner named 

each of the plants before they 

placed them in the sand. 

All of the students knew they 

were planting beach grass, not sea 

grass, which Moore and his team 

were quick to point out grows 

underwater. 

The day before the Hill View 

Montessori students went to 

Plum Island, Eberhardt visited the 

school in the Ward Hill business 

park to teach the students about 

dunes and the threats to them. 

She showed them a video shot 

by a drone of the beaches so they 

could see the large amounts of 

bare sand, where the grass has 

died off. 

“It’s called beach grass die 

off,” Eberhardt told the fourth, 

fifth and six grade students. 

“Microscopic worms eat the 

roots.” 

“These are worms so small they 

cannot be seen without the aid 

of a microscope,” said Scarlett 

Helmeke. Beachgoers also don’t 

help much by stepping on the 

grass on their treks to the ocean, 

explained the young researchers. 

For that reason, the project 

has installed new fencing along 

the dunes that block off some of 

the paths across the dunes. Some 

beachgoers find the new fencing 

annoying, Moore said, because 

they block some paths that they 

once used to get to the beach. 

But the local homeowners like 

them even if it means they have to 

walk farther to get to the beach, 

he said. The locals know the 

fences are helping keep the sand 

from blowing away and the beach 

grass from being destroyed. 

The goals of the UNH project, 

which continues into 2017, are 

to restore the dunes, explore 

alternative fencing designs and 

engage the community through 

public forms and volunteer 

planting projects like the one 

here last month. 

For students like Mason Foote, 

“It is a work in progress.” 

To volunteer or organize a 

school group to plant sea grasses 

next spring, contact Eberhardt at 

alyson.eberhardt@unh.edu.

The Seabrook Library, in

June 8 - 14, 2016 www.TheTownCommon.com Page 

conjunction with the NH 

Humanities Council, will sponsor 

anthropologist Robert Goodby for 

the program Digging into Native 

History in New Hampshire on 

June 9, 2016, at 6:30 pm at the 

Seabrook Library, 25 Liberty 

Lane in Seabrook. This program 

explores how Abenaki history 

in New England has been 

reduced to near-invisibility as a 

result of conquest, a conquering 

culture that placed little value 

on the Indian experience, and a 

strategy of self-preservation that 

required many Abenaki to go 

“underground,” concealing their 

true identities for generations 

to avoid discrimination and 

persecution. Robert Goodby 

reveals archaeological evidence 

that shows their deep presence 

here, inches below the earth’s 

surface. The program is free and 

open to the public. Refreshments 

will be served.

ANGELS IN AMERICA, Tony Kushner’s award-winning epic play, examines life, death, and politics in 1980s 

America. Kushner created his “gay fantasia on national themes” to explore hope and humor in the face of the AIDS 

crisis, fifteen years after the epidemic swept the globe. The terrifying death toll could well be seen as an indictment 

of the federal government’s inaction and willful ignorance, which was rooted in stigma, lies, and fear. Kushner’s 

play resonates as clearly and relevantly today as when it was written twenty-five years ago. The achingly beautiful 

language weaves an ethereally complex yet starkly clear tapestry of a tragic, devastating time in American history.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Lots of possibilities begin 

to open up by midweek. Some seem more appealing than 

others. But wait for more facts to emerge later on before 

you consider which to choose. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bravo to the determined 

Bovine. While others might give up, you continue to 

search for answers. Expect your Taurean tenacity to begin 

paying off by week’s end. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to

consider stepping back from the task at hand for a while. This 

could help you get a better perspective on what you’ve done and what still needs to be done. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your keen Cancerian insight should help you determine whether a 

new offer is solid or just more fluff ‘n’ stuff. The clues are all there, waiting for you to find them. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Being ignored is difficult for any proud Leo or Leona. But pushing 

yourself back into the spotlight might be unwise. Instead, let things work themselves out at their 

own pace. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Trying to uncover a colleague’s secret under the pretext 

of showing concern is ill-advised. Control your curiosity in order to avoid raising resentment in 

the workplace.

Health & Wellness 

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD 

Thomas Jefferson was born in 

1743, the third of 10 children. 

His political career began when 

he was elected to the Virginia 

House of Burgesses in 1769. In 

1775, he was a delegate to the 

Second Continental Congress in 

Philadelphia. During that congress, 

he was the principal author of the 

Declaration of Independence. 

He returned to Virginia, where 

in 1779 he was elected governor 

of Virginia, a position which he 

held for two years. In 1783, he 

was appointed a delegate to the 

Confederation Congress and in 

1785 was appointed minister to 

France -- a position he held until 

1789. That same year he was 

appointed secretary of state. 

In 1796, Jefferson ran for 

president but was defeated by John 

Adams. Having the second most 

electoral votes, however, Jefferson 

became vice president. In 1800, 

he was elected as the third U.S. 

president, the office in which he 

served for two terms, from 1801 to 

1809. He died on July 4, 1826, at 

the age of 83. 

In 1824, describing the then 

81-year-old Jefferson, Daniel 

Webster wrote, “His mouth is well 

formed and still filled with teeth; 

The results of a long-term 

Swedish study suggest that help 

for our aging brains might be as 

close as the vitamin aisle in the 

drugstore. Vitamin B-12 was 

shown to slow the rate of brain 

aging ... probably. 

Homocysteine, a non-protein 

amino acid, is the culprit in 

increasing the rate of brain aging, 

and vitamin B-12 slows that rate. 

Between 2001 and 2009, some 

500 participants over age 60 were 

examined and assessed, including 

medical history, cognitive function 

Brighter Smiles... 

A Brief History Lesson 

it is strongly compressed, bearing 

an expression of contentment 

and benevolence.” That same year 

Jefferson wrote to Charles Willson 

Peale, a long-time friend and part 

of the intellectual elite of the time 

stating, “I am particularly happy 

not needing your porcelain teeth. I 

have lost only one [tooth] by age, 

the rest continuing sound.” Like 

Jefferson, Peale was a renaissance 

man of many arts, trades, and 

interests, one of which was the 

development and refinement of 

porcelain artificial teeth, which 

were replacing ivory, animal, and 

human teeth for dentures. 

Jefferson was fastidious about 

his health. Documents that have 

survived, mostly archived at the 

Library of Congress, reflect his 

dental care. His journals list eight 

dental visits between 1772 at age 29 

and 1824 at age 81. Other dental 

needs he noted in his journals and 

letters included the purchase of 

toothpicks and toothbrushes, the 

latter with “the hair neither too 

strong nor too weak.” 

In the late 1770s through the 

1800s, pig, horse, and badger 

hair were used for bristles on 

toothbrushes. Another common 

method of teeth cleaning in the era 

was placing soot and salt on a rag or 

sponge and rubbing it on the teeth. 

Jefferson also recorded the purchase 

of “a silver toothpick case,” in 1785 

while he was minister to France. 

Jefferson experienced only two 

known serious dental problems in 

Senior Scene

and B-12 levels. Brain volume was 

measured during the study. Higher 

levels of B-12 seemed to help lower 

the rate of homocystein. 

Not all researchers are sold on 

the conclusions, however. Maybe 

it’s another lifestyle health factor 

that’s involved. They do think that 

trials are warranted, with more 

in-depth looks at the levels of 

homocysteine and B-12. 

At the same time, they point 

to a previous study with basically 

the same results, this time with 

participants over age 70 who 

already had mild cognitive 

impairment and received a few 

vitamins, not just B-12. There 

was less brain volume loss in those 

who took the vitamins. 

In yet another study, B-12 

deficiency was associated with 

his life. In December 1807 at age

on a very large and hard swelling of 

the face, and that produced a fever 

at TD Bank Plaza 

which left me last night.” 

In November 1808, 11 months 

after he disclosed his problem, 

there is a journal entry in which

Grinding/Clenching Therapy 

• Custom Dentures 

“was relieved by a suppuration and 

• Appearance-Related Dentistry 

have since been able to extract the 

tooth.” 

Aside from his obvious genius, 

Jefferson cared for and took care of 

his health throughout his life. He 

did not use any tobacco. According 

to Dr. John Bumgarner in his 

book The Health of the Presidents, 

“Jefferson encouraged exercise,” 

with walking, horseback riding, 

and shooting as his favorite forms 

of exercise. 

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private 

dental practice in Rowley and 

Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered 

family dentistry. If there are

So where does that leave us? Still 

unsure about the actual mechanism 

of vitamin B-12 as it pertains 

to counteracting loss of brain 

volume, at least until researchers 

satisfy their need for longer-term 

trials with every parameter and 

detail to their liking. 

Meanwhile, unless we get the 

all-clear from our doctor to take 

a vitamin B-12 tablet every day, 

there are a few additions to our 

diet that might help, if the study 

results are true. Sardines and beef 

liver have more than enough B- 

12. Even milk and salmon have 

enough for the daily requirement, 

as do Swiss cheese and eggs.
