Trees cut for new rail trail. 

NEWBURYPORT – Construction of the second leg 

of the popular Clipper City Rail Trail is underway. 

Surveyors have marked the center line of the 1.5- 

mile trail, and the contractor, E.T.&L. Construction, 

has begun cutting trees and brush on the long-unused 

rail line. 

At a public hearing on the trail last fall, Mayor Donna 

Holaday called the city’s first rail trail “a tremendous 

resource for our city.” During summer weekends, as 

many as 1,000 people walk, run and bike along the 1.1 

mile long trail. 

Marco Ruffo, the superintendent on the project for 

E.T.&L., said last week that he expects the second leg 

of the trail to be as popular. 

“There are a lot of kids along here. It will be a safe and 

fun place for them to come out and ride their bikes,” 

he said. 

Ruffo said the almost $5 million project is just getting 

started. Senior project manager Geordie Vining said 

recently that the trail, which runs from the waterfront 

boardwalk to March’s Hill, may take at least until 2018 

Anna Jaques is proud to welcome…

July 4th, is a great time “to get out and reconnect with people you haven’t seen in 

awhile, plus family and friends,” said Mayor Ken Grey. “The entire community just 

loves it. They really turn out for it.” 

With a theme of “Scene and Heard” Amesbury Days 2016 was launched last week 

with a popular Block Party, the seventh annual Brewfest featuring 20 brewers, a Classic 

Car Show with antique Amesbury carriages, Movie in the Millyard and Lake Gardner

Letters To The Editor 

A Response to Jack Grundstrom 

Dear Editor, 

Community Announcements 

Kindly post this letter in response to Mr. Grunstrom’s letter in the June 20th 

Community Connections 

weekly issue. 

Thank you Mr. Grundstrom for bringing this issue to the readers’ 

attention. You are correct that the VFW logo included in the Rowley 

Business Spotlight 

Veteran’s Association “The Rowley V” ad in the Town Common newspaper 

should be and has been removed. 

As a veteran and a soldier who served my country, I share your strong

opinions about providing Real support, Estate services, and • a For place to Sale visit for my 

fellow veterans. As such, I would like to follow up on your comments and 

reiterate our support of our veterans at the Rowley Veterans Association. 

Please accept our invitation to visit our 

Sports • Club and read our 

Sports • mission statement 

that we proudly hang on our wall. 

Sports 

In addition to our Mission Statement, we are proud of the services and 

programs we have initiated in support of our veterans. For the past five 

years, we have successfully Pets, executed Animals, these programs under Plus the management 

at the Rowley Veterans Association with support from our members. 

Although, some of our members are not veterans, our patrons support all 

of our armed services and are very appreciative of the sacrifices our veterans 

make for our country. 

Health 

These patrons are 

& 

passionate 

Fitness 

about these programs 

and are proud of our collective accomplishments. 

We recently initiated the Charlie Hardy Scholarship in memory of our 

beloved manager and veteran. This is our first year, and we successfully 

selected two very strong candidates who will be pursuing a college education 

after graduating from Triton Regional High School. This was an unbiased 

process that brought two very formidable young individuals into our Club. 

We wish them great success and we look forward to next year’s scholarship 

process. Donations from our Club members have been very generous and 

our raffles have been helpful to reach our scholarship goals. 

The Rowley Veteran’s Association has worked very hard remodeling the 

building, landscaping the grounds and creating a great place for locals to 

come and enjoy themselves. We have to agree with Mr. Grundstrom that 

we do enjoy some entertainment at our establishment, and we recently 

hosted “The Fools” at our renovated Stars & Stripes function hall. We 

had a very nice evening that was a benefit dedicated to a well-respected 

band member who passed away last year. The donations that we raised 

for the benefit, totaling $3,000, were given to a veterans’ shelter located in 

Beverly, Massachusetts. My thanks and appreciation go out to everyone 

that attended the benefit. 

We also adopted a veterans’ shelter in Haverhill and have been supporting 

them for the past two years. The residents at the shelter enjoy gifts from 

us on the holidays and we enjoy sponsoring their night out at the ball park 

every year. 

This year’s Memorial Days Parade was a testament to the RVA’s 

commitment to our veterans. 

Despite the threat of bad weathers, 

it was one of the most well attended 

parade in years with more veterans 

marching than the past previous 

years. We celebrated with our 

veterans after the parade with the 

marchers and families from town. 

We can’t wait until next year. 

So forgive us for enjoying the 

events we host at the Rowley 

Veterans Association; we do enjoy 

ourselves. We do, however, follow 

our mission statement with passion 

and commitment. As such, whenever 

we can leverage our goodwill to help 

support our veterans, we proudly do 

so. 

The fact that the VFW logo 

was still in the ad was an honest 

oversight and we thank you again 

for pointing that out to the readers. 

Please feel free to join us at our Club 

on Bradford Street. We can provide 

more details on what we do every 

day to support our troops. 

With respect, 

David Leavitt

Second Rail Trail Construction Underway 


to finish the trail. 

The trail, which will be eight to 

10 feet wide, will follow the old 

train tracks that for about 100 years 

carried freight on the City Branch 

Railroad to the ships docked at 

the waterfront. The tracks were 

abandoned in the 1970s. 

It will have multiple access points 

for bikes, wheelchairs, strollers and 

pedestrians from different streets 

and neighborhoods. The project 

will feature sculpture, interpretive 

panels and custom signage with 

funding support from the Mayor 

Gayden W. Morrill Charitable 

Foundation and the Recreational 

Trails Grant Program. 

Cutting trees is always a challenge 

in an urban environment. Ruffo 

and city employees have met with 

neighbors to the trail to discuss 

which trees will be cleared and 

which ones will be protected. 

“Most of the neighbors are 

thrilled,” he said. 

The city has asked that neighbors 

to stop using the abandoned rail line 

to dump grass clippings, leaves and 

other debris on the land formerly 

owned by National Grid and the 

B&M Railroad. 

“Some abutters have been observed 

continuing to dump private yard 

waste into the trail corridor. Please 

note that all such dumping is illegal, 

potentially punishable by fines, and 

hinders development of the trail,” 

the city web site states. 

“Some abutters have indicated 

that they thought such waste would 

simply be buried on site, but it all 

must be removed in order to install 

appropriate fill and foundation 

for the trail,” according to the 

city. “The corridor is now public 

land controlled by the City of 

Newburyport, and we ask that all 

such dumping cease going forward. 

Homeowners can take yard waste 

to the City’s Crow Lane Yard Waste 

Facility or place it in backyard 

compost bins on the homeowners’ 

property. We appreciate everyone’s 

cooperation.” 

To get to this point, the city had 

to negotiate long-term leases with 

property owners that included some 

homeowners, National Grid, the 

U.S. Coast Guard, Newburyport 

Redevelopment Authority, 

Newburyport Waterfront Trust 

and New England Development 

because the trail will pass through 

their properties. 

The asphalt trail will have a 

diverse character, starting along the 

Merrimack River waterfront with 

new access to river views, wind 

through the congested South End 

residential neighborhood along the 

old City Branch rail corridor, and 

curving through acres of woodlands 

to Parker Street in the Town of 

Newbury. It will cross High Street 

through an old railroad underpass 

that will have some decorative 

lighting. The trail will end just over 

the Newbury town line at Parker 

Street, not far from the train station 

and the terminus of the first trail. 

Ultimately, the city would like 

to link its two trails at the train 

station, but there are some logistical 

challenges that MassDOT must 

resolve before that can happen.

IPSWICH - Catch a bus to come to the Ipswich Public Library on Monday nights for six weeks this summer. 

This special transportation service is sponsored by EBSCO and the Ipswich Public Library Board of Trustees. 

Families who live at either end of town can take advantage of the free transportation on Monday nights, 

while other families might like to take the bus from those locations just for the opportunity to ride a yellow 

school bus together or to give next fall’s kindergarten students some practice in riding the bus. All children 

must be accompanied by a responsible caregiver over the age of 18. The bus will pick up at the school bus 

stop near Rosewood Drive at 5:45 p.m. and the school bus stop near the Ipswich YMCA at 6 p.m. It will

from July 11 through August 15. Special programming will be offered at the library on those nights. On 

Monday, July 11 the Children’s Room will host Creature Teachers at 4 p.m. and then a second show at 6:30 

p.m., ideal for the bus riders! The instructors specialize in environmental and animal education. Their goal 

is to fascinate audiences with the wonders and diversity of the animals that share our planet. Animals the 

audience might see at this program include: a wallaby, kinkajou, bearded dragon, hedgehog, kookaburra, 

sugar glider or other interesting species. Please contact Laurie Collins in the Children’s Room of the Ipswich 

Public Library at 978-412-8713 with any questions.

For 

Sale 

It’s very easy for a REALTOR®, 

friend or loved one to tell a 

homeowner getting ready to 

sell that they need to get rid of 

their “stuff” to make the home 

more appealing. However, that 

“stuff”, as it is called, may have 

been acquired over a lifetime and 

have special meaning. Let’s take 

a look at this sometimes stressful, 

rarely fun process of getting your 

home ready to sell. 

You have decided to move! 

Good choice by the way, as we 

are in the middle of a seller’s 

market. Your reason for moving 

could be to downsize or maybe 

even to buy a bigger house. As 

you look around your home 

with your REALTOR®, you not 

only have to figure out how to 

present the home at its best, but 

also decide which possessions to 

keep and which to toss. 

Why Do We Keep? 

Why have we accumulated 

so much and refused to throw 

out so little? Seeing items you 

haven’t thought of or seen in 

a while can prompt pleasant 

memories of times past or of 

loved ones no longer alive. We 

take pictures not to look at them 

right away, although we all do, 

but to keep the memory of that 

point in time. We don’t always 

do this consciously, but keeping 

possessions is a way of reminding 

us of another, hopefully nicer 

time. When lightening your

load, emotions come into play. 

Some are sweet and others are 

less so, seeing items you haven’t 

thought of or seen in a while can 

set off terrific memories of the 

past or of loved ones no longer 

with us. 

Sentimentality 

Often times a large number 

of items you have accumulated 

came from a loved one who has 

passed. You feel that in some 

way you are eliminating the 

memory of your loved one by 

ridding yourself of the table, 

chair, Hummels or knick knack 

that they left you. There is no 

Nobody can advocate that you 

throw these items out. It is up 

to you. What I would say is 

loved one wouldn’t expect you 

to feature the 50 year old love 

seat or the wooden totem pole in 

your living room. You can’t hold 

on to everything. Some do hold 

onto everything (if you don’t 

believe me check out “Hoarders” 

on A&E). By removing some of 

these items from your home you 

are much more able to live in the 

present, and you leave less of a 

burden for the next generation. 

I recently had a seller who passed 

away suddenly after inheriting 

everything from his mother who 

had passed. This small home 

had enough furniture and boxes 

to fill the White House. 

Work from one drawer, one 

closet, one room at a time. This 

way you won’t be overwhelmed. 

Even if you aren’t selling it 

wouldn’t hurt to put that DVD 

rewinding machine or over the 

head hair dryer that was left to 

you, on the curb or if it holds 

some spot in your heart in 

storage. 

Store It 

If you’ll no longer have room 

for certain possessions that are 

meaningful to you, you are 

ambivalent about or you believe 

or the items you need to decide, 

what to do with have special 

meaning. Relax, put things in 

storage if you can’t decide but 

also ask yourself, do I really need 

this? Would whoever left this to 

mean really expect me to keep 

it all these years? Look at what 

you have, evaluate, sort, give to 

relatives, give away, sell or hire 

a professional to help. Once 

you’ve eliminated some “stuff” 

your home will be ready to show 

buyers, and once sold, you’ll be 

ready to move on.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful: What appears 

to be a solid financial opportunity might have some hidden risks 

attached. A hazy personal matter needs to be cleared up. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It’s a good time to

being told what to do. But you’re also wise enough to appreciate

Health & Wellness 

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD 

I find that some foods have 

become difficult to chew and 

swallow. Do I really need to eat the 

same amount or variety of food 

that I did when I was younger? 

Maintaining proper nutrition is 

important for everyone, young or 

old. Many older adults do not eat 

balanced diets and avoid meats, 

raw vegetables and fresh fruits 

because they have trouble chewing 

or swallowing. These problems can 

be caused by painful teeth, ill-fitting 

dentures, dry mouth or changes 

in facial muscles. Others find 

their sense of taste has changed, 

sometimes due to a disease or 

certain medications. 

Because of these and other 

factors, the diets of older adults are 

often lacking in calcium, protein 

and other nutrients essential to 

dental and overall health. You need 

a balanced diet. 

If you are unable to eat certain 

things that you enjoy and contribute 

to a well-balanced diet, address the 

reason this is a problem. Consult 

your physician, nutritionist and 

dentist about the possible use of 

supplements to make up for the 

parts of your diet that are lacking. 

Why do my teeth seem darker? 

One of the changes you may 

Brighter Smiles... 

Dental Changes With Age – Part 3 

notice as you grow older is that it’s 

harder to keep your teeth clean and 

white. This is because the sticky, 

colorless layer of bacteria, called 

plaque, can build up faster and in 

greater amounts as we age. Changes 

in dentin, the bone-like tissue that 

is under your enamel, may also 

cause your teeth to appear slightly 

darker. 

Regular professional dental 

hygiene visits are vital to 

maintaining and monitoring your 

oral health. For most, professional 

teeth bleaching is a cost-effective 

way to brighten your smile. 

Why does my mouth feel dry? 

Reduced saliva flow that results in 

a dry mouth is a common problem 

among older adults. It is caused by 

certain medical disorders and is often 

a side effect of medications such as 

antihistamines, decongestants, pain 

killers and diuretics. Some of the 

common problems associated with 

dry mouth include a constant sore 

throat, burning sensation, problems 

speaking, difficulty swallowing, 

hoarseness or dry nasal passages. Left 

untreated, dry mouth can damage 

your teeth. Without adequate 

saliva to lubricate your mouth, 

wash away food, and neutralize the 

acids produced by plaque, extensive 

cavities can form. 

Your dentist can recommend 

various methods to restore moisture. 

Sugar-free candy or gum stimulates 

saliva flow, and moisture can be 

replaced by using artificial saliva 

and oral rinses. Xylitol, a sugar
