Fireballers Running to the North Shore

AMESBURY – During 

the last 10 years, 42 missing 

children have been located 

and returned to their rightful 

parent, thanks to a bunch of 

crazy, obsessed car enthusiasts 

who created a televised 2,000- 

mile road race and trivia game, 

called Fireball Run. 

On Saturday, Oct. 1, 

Fireball Run’s 40, two-person 

teams plus sponsors and 

two production teams will 

descend on this quaint former 

mill town that once was the 

heart of the carriage and 

automobile industry.

Amesbury Chamber 

Director Cassandra Gove 

expects 10,000 fans and 

participants to make their way 

to downtown to be part of 

the destination celebration of 

this race that starts eight days 

before in western New York. 

All hotel rooms in the area, 

including the new Hampton 

Inn, are booked. Parking 

downtown will be scarce. 

“It is going to be a big day 

for Amesbury,” Gove said. 

The event in Amesbury will focus worldwide attention on finding missing children, 

including 26-year-old Jesus De La Cruz, who was born in Lynn and was last seen this 

month 20 years ago. Any information about his whereabouts will be forwarded to the 

National Missing Child Center. 

The latest missing child, showcased by Fireball Run, was found in North Carolina 

last month and returned to the mother. 

Fireball Run came to Amesbury four years ago when the race stopped here for 

lunch. 

“We blew it out of the water,” Gove said. The town brought to downtown thousands 

of children and adults who created an exciting atmosphere for the television audience 

watching the race. 

This year will be much bigger because Amesbury will be the end of the race. 

According to Gove, this year’s event will be a once in a lifetime opportunity. “Fireball 

Run will not be back again,” she said. 

There will be a parade, events for children and adults and an antique car show that

ON THE ROAD TO PLUM ISLAND – The Pink House on the Plum Island 

Turnpike has been given a stay of execution. 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which owns the iconic house, has delayed its 

demolition for a year. To its growing number of fans, that may feel like a stay of 

execution because so many photographers, painters and casual viewers have come to 

view the vacant house as a friend. 

The year’s delay, approved by Bill Peterson, who heads the Parker River Wildlife 

Refuge, will give its supporters time to work out a permanent solution that allows 

the house to stay in place on the marsh or on another site. 

“There is so much good feeling about the house in the community,” said Rochelle 

Joseph, an Amesbury writer and member of the Save the Pink House leadership. 

“No one wants to be the bad guy.” 

The three-bedroom home with more than 2,000 square feet of space was built in 

1925. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Parker River National Wildlife Refuge 

bought the house in 2011 for $375,000 from a family that had lived in it for 

decades. 

The agency, whose mission is to encourage and preserve wildlife, does not see a use 

for it. Sandwiched between the marsh and the turnpike makes the dry land more 

valuable to the federal government than the house itself. 

The wildlife refuge would prefer to use the 9 acres the house sits on for a viewing 

platform. Buses and cars that bring school children or tourists could park there and 

use the proposed platform to study the marsh and its wildlife up close. 

The Save the Pink House group has scheduled a briefing on the house’s status 

from 7 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 28th at PITA Hall on Plum Island. State Sens. Bruce

Community Announcements 

To the Editor, 

For quite some time the Rowley Board of Selectmen had been opening 

 

some of its meeting with Community an executive session Connections 

without first convening in 

open session. 

Earlier this year, Attorney General Martha Healey sent a letter to all 

towns 

and cities listing Business this practice as one of Spotlight 

the most frequent violations 

of the Commonwealth’s Open Meeting Law. 

Late this summer, with no announcement of any kind from the

board or 

 

the administrator’s Real office, Estate I noticed a switch. • For The Sale board is now 

convening in open session 

as the law requires, with the executive session 

properly consigned to the bottom of back of the agenda page. 

 

 

The Rowley meeting 

 

agenda provides for a citizen query. Anyone can 

appear and is guaranteed the “floor” for at least five minutes. More than 

a year ago, I ventured

also serves as a backdrop for the 

television show that is streamed 

live on Amazon Prime and 

packaged as a television show 

and broadcast internationally. 

“The Fireball Run Adenturally 

is an action packed 26-episode 

adventure competition series, 

which follows the drama of 40 

driving teams as they take part 

in a legendary, eight-day, 2,000- 

mile, life-sized trivia game,” 

the producers of the event 

state. “Unlike Reality TV, this 

adventure is real.” 

As the destination of the race, 

Amesbury is planning a full day 

of fun events, starting at 11 a.m. 

in the Upper Millyard where the 

Amesbury Police Department 

will host the Family Fun Zone. 

Children will be identified. Those 

who participate will win coupons 

for ice cream from Hodgie’s and 

for McDonald’s. 

At noon, on the top level of 

Tarr, R-Gloucester, and Kathryn 

O’Connor Ives, D-Newburyport, 

will speak about efforts to save 

the Pink House. Newburyport 

Councilor Bruce Earls, an early 

supporter, will also attend. 

The Pink House was scheduled 

for demolition last May, Joseph 

said. She and other members 

of the leadership met with Ives 

and Tarr, who recommended 

that she contact U.S. Rep. Seth 

Moulton, D-MA. After a letter 

came from Moulton to the U.S. 

Fish & Wildlife Service, the 

agency decided to postpone the 

demolition of the house, Joseph 

said. 

The group, whose leadership 

also includes Alison Odle and 

Andrew Griffith, is also planning 

a fundraising event Nov. 17th at 

PITA Hall, where local artists 

and photographers will be selling 

their paintings and photographs 

of the Pink House, Joseph said.

At 4 p.m., a parade will march 

through downtown, ending up 

at Market Square. It will include 

the Amesbury High School band 

and cheerleaders, fire trucks and 

local dignitaries. 

The awards dinner for the race 

will be held at 8 p.m. at Heritage

Health & Wellness 

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD 

Last week I mentioned a recent 

question submitted to me via 

email. Here it is from Michael: 

“I read this article in The Times 

today with some concern, and 

I wonder what your thoughts 

are about it? I’m coming in for 

an appointment in about ten 

days; so, it’s a timely topic for 

me. Thank you for keeping me 

healthy!” 

In the article entitled “You 

Probably Don’t Need Dental 

X-rays Every Year”, the author 

states: 

“The American Dental 

Brighter Smiles... 

Dental X-Rays - Automatic? 

Association says I don’t, and you 

may not either. Adults without 

apparent dental problems do 

not need dental X-rays of any 

kind every year, the A.D.A. says. 

Adults who properly care for their 

teeth and have no symptoms of 

oral disease or cavities can go two 

to three years between bitewing 

X-rays, according to the A.D.A.” 

Here was my response to 

Michael: 

“I agree with the general theme 

of the article. However, there 

are so many variables, for both 

the patient and dentist. It is up 

to the dentist and patient to 

come up with an agreed upon 

frequency of radiographs based 

on the philosophy and risk 

tolerance of the dentist and what 

the patient presents with from a 

clinical standpoint. I range with 

my patients from 1-3 

years for bitewing x- 

rays. In your particular 

situation, based on the 

moderate restorative 

dentistry you have 

in your mouth and 

history of recent decay, 

(4) bitewings once 

per year would still 

be the recommended 

frequency. I hope that 

helps.” 

This is in line with 

what the author states 

in his article when he 

says, “Adults with a 

high risk of cavities 

(like those with a 

history of them) 

should receive them at 

least every 18 months, 

and possibly more 

frequently, depending 

on the condition of 

teeth and gums.” 

The author also 

brought up the 

topic of radiation 

accumulation and 

states, “All X-rays can be 

harmful, though the radiation 

dose of bitewings is relatively 

low. Of all the medical radiation 

patients receive, dental X-rays 

account for less than 3 percent. 

But the harm from radiation is 

cumulative.” 

One of the reasons the author 

cited as to why dental x-rays 

are overused is because it is an 

income generator for the dental 

office. He says, “For some people, 

it’s a needless expense that comes 

with needless risk.” 

While there may be some 

dental offices out there that look 

at dental x-rays as an income 

generator, it is safe to say that the 

majority do not see it that way. 

The reason most dental offices 

recommend x-rays is to allow for 

proper diagnosis in an effort to 

keep you healthy. It is important, 

however, that the dentist be 

mindful of each person’s specific 

needs. Yearly bitewing x-rays 

should not be automatic. 

You should have the 

conversation with your dentist 

about what your x-ray frequency 

should be. There are many 

factors to consider. As with any 

relationship between health care 

provider and patient, there should 

be mutual respect. The dentist 

needs to respect the patient’s 

desire to have the conversation 

and the patient needs to respect 

the dental professional’s opinion. 

We should all be striving for the 

same goals. 

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private 

dental practice in Rowley and 

Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered 

family dentistry. If there 

are certain topics you would like to 

see written about or questions you 

have please email them to him at

Business Spotlight 


For 

Sale 

Twice over the past few weeks and 

occasionally in conversation with 

buyers or sellers I have been asked 

about the term REALTOR® and 

what the difference is between that 

designation and, real estate agent, 

real estate broker and REALTOR®. 

Most people don’t know the 

difference but by knowing the right 

language you are certainly much 

more informed about who you are 

dealing with, and able to potentially 

avoid serious issues down the road. 

The definitions below are mine 

and the meaning of an agent 

and broker does vary from state 

to state. It is smart to confirm 

what an agent or broker means 

before entering into a business 

relationship and most importantly 

who they represent in a transaction. 

To help you understand here are a 

few key words so you, too, can tell 

the different between real estate 

personnel. 

Real Estate Agent or Salesperson 

Sales people make up a majority 

of the workforce. They are licensed 

by the state, have taken hours of 

real estate courses and passed an 

extensive exam. They are required 

to work for a real estate broker. Real 

Estate Agents earn a percentage of 

the broker’s commission when they 

sell a home. They are not allowed 

to handle any escrow payments, 

all monies are handled by the Real 

Estate Broker®. 

Real Estate Broker 

A Real Estate Broker has

to become a broker. They are 

also required to have worked 

as a salesperson for at least two 

years. While brokers do work as 

sales people, they are frequently 

in charge of supervising the other 

salespersons 

Town 

and running the office. 

Common 

There may be only one broker “of 

record” at each office. 

The MLS is a service that real 

Realtor® 

estate salespeople, brokers and 

Often times you will hear a Real 

Estate Salesperson or Broker will 

call him or herself a REALTOR®. 

A person is only qualified to do 

this when they become members 

of the National Association 

the world’s largest professional 

association. In order to be a 

be a REALTOR®. Salespersons 

and Brokers must agree to follow 

the NAR’s strict Code of Ethics. 

This Code of Ethics protects buyers 

and sellers as they know they are 

working with someone who must 

follow strict guidelines. Making a 

point to work with a REALTOR® 

instead of an unaffiliated Real 

Estate Agent or Broker is one small 

guarantee that a buyer or seller will 

be treated well. 

Seller’s agent, buyer’s agent 

and dual agent are designations 

taken by a salesperson, broker or 

REALTOR® when working with a 

client. Here is a brief description 

of each: 

Seller’s agent 

The agent owes the seller 

“undivided loyalty, responsible 

care, disclosure, obedience o lawful 

instruction, confidentiality and 

accountability”. The agent puts 

the seller’s interest first while also 

disclosing any known “material 

defects in the real estate”. 

Buyer’s Agent 

This agent also owes the buyer 

“undivided loyalty, responsible 

care, disclosure, obedience o lawful 

instruction, confidentiality and 

accountability”. A buyer’s agent 

must put the buyer’s interest first 

and negotiate the best price and 

terms for their client, the buyer. 

Dual Agent 

A real estate agent may act as a 

dual agent representing both the 

seller and buyer in a transaction 

but only with the express and 

informed consent of both the seller 

and buyer. 

MLS or Multiple Listing Service

are many different MLS services 

throughout the country. They

Listen to Kathryn’s real estate radio program every Friday at 8:05 am 

on WNBP 1450 AM / 106.1 FM. 

Don’t leave home without me! 

These folks are glad they called me: 

What appeared to be a simple sale became a complicated 

process. Kathryn guided us through all the hurdles for reaching a 

successful closing. -- Brian and Maryanne Denison, sellers in Ipswich 

Without Kathryn’s loyalty and staying power, we doubt that 

the transaction would have been successfully consummated. -- Marc 

Greenbaum and Linda Stoller, sellers in West Newbury 

Kathryn’s positive, “can do” attitude made what had promised 

to be a daunting and emotional experience for me as stress free as 

possible. -- Marcia J. Cowan, seller in Ipswich 

I was quite impressed with Kathryn’s ability to negotiate and 

hold both buyers and sellers together during what could have been 

deal breaking moments. -- Ned Cutler, seller in Newbury 

Kathryn is a delight to work with. We were kept informed on 

what was going on, always on time and she answered our phone calls 

promptly. -- Jim and Kay McCormick, sellers in Ipswich 

We never thought that selling a home after 31 years could go 

so smoothly. -- Diane and Carmine Scoppettuolo, sellers in Georgetown 

Kathryn’s follow-up and guidance through the selling process 

was invaluable. -- Christopher and Mary Dollas, sellers in Newbury 

Kathryn O’Brien is in the true sense of the word an “expert” at 

what she does. Upbeat, positive, confident, thorough and aggressive, 

the only thing Kathryn did not do was pack for us! – Carol and Tony 

Dagosta, sellers in Topsfield 

Experience Is Priceless! 

on 1 Cottage Road in Newbury, 

the house sits approximately 100 

feet from its original location. The 

house is located on the first road in
