several questions about how it 

will work and how much it will 

cost. 

Councilor Robert Cronin 

has filed a measure that would 

lower the speed limit by at least 

five miles per hour. It is now in 

the public safety subcommittee, 

and Cronin feels confident 

the measure will pass the full 

council. 

The goal is to reduce speeds 

from 30 and 35 miles per hour 

to help save lives and reduce 

injuries to pedestrians, cyclists 

and those in other cars. 

A new law, signed into law by 

Gov. Charles Baker, would allow 

cities, starting in November, to 

lower the speed limits in thickly 

settled areas. The new law gives 

cities the authority to post speed 

limits without state approval 

and without performing a 

traffic study.

The city of Boston has already 

lowered the speed limit in thickly 

congested areas to 20 miles per 

hour. It is considering lower the 

speed limit citywide to 25 miles 

per hour and schools zones to 15 

miles per hour. 

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh 

wrote in a statement: “We know 

that lower speed limits are an 

important tool in reducing fatal 

and serious crashes and creating 

safer streets for people of all ages 

and abilities who are walking, 

driving and bicycling.’’ 

Not everyone in Newburyport 

supports the lower speed limit. 

At the traffic safety committee 

meeting last week, members 

argued that it is impossible to 

drive 25 miles per hour and 

drivers will become frustrated.

Anastasia’s Flowers on Main 

Encourages Busy Commuters to 

‘Petal It Forward' 

BYFIELD - Anastasia’s Flowers on Main will be hitting the streets of 

Byfield/West Newbury on October 19th, handing out 100 bouquets 

of flowers to busy commuters to help brighten up their week, as part 

of the ‘Petal it Forward’ program, in partnership with the Society 

of American Florists (SAF), Anastasia’s Flowers on Main which is a 

member. 

‘Petal It Forward’ is in response to the release of data by SAF 

showing the positive emotional benefits of flowers. 

University research reveals that flowers have an immediate impact 

on happiness and a long-term positive effect on moods. Now, a new 

survey has found that, when it comes to flowers, it’s just as good to 

give as it is to receive. With this data in mind, the Petal It Forward 

team is not only spreading happiness to lucky Byfield residents 

who receive the flowers, but arming these recipients with the tools 

they need to Petal it Forward and spread happiness to others: An 

extra flower bouquet to share with a loved one, coworker or even a 

stranger. 

“We see the positive impact day in and day out when we make 

our flower deliveries,” said Vivian Anastasia of Anastasia’s Flowers on 

Main. “People love to get flowers ‘just because’ so we wanted to create 

random smiles today, and give people a chance to do the same for 

someone else.” 

In March 2015, SAF conducted a survey of 2,500 people throughout 

the U.S. to uncover the impact of flowers on Americans. The results 

revealed the many benefits of flowers, including the positive impact 

flowers have on one’s emotions and happiness, and backed up previous 

research studies on flowers conducted by Rutgers, Harvard and Texas 

A&M. (See www.aboutflowers.com/research more information on 

the universitystudies.) 

The following are highlights from SAF’s survey results: 

• When it comes to happiness, it’s just as good to give flowers as 

it is to receive: 88 percent of Americans report that giving flowers 

makesthem feel happy, while 80 percent reported that receiving 

flowers makes them feel happy. 

• Just being around flowers improves your mood: 76 percent of 

Americans agree that having flowers in their home or office improves 

their mood. 

• The best reason to receive flowers is “just because”: Women (92 

percent) are more likely to agree with this, but the majority of men 

(three in four) also share this sentiment. 

• Florists to the rescue! Nearly four in 10 Americans indicate florists 

have helped them in a past or current relationship; most frequently to 

say “I love you,” or schedule a surprise delivery. 

“The impact of giving or receiving flowers is powerful and 

memorable,” said Anastasia. “It can turn an ordinary day into an 

extraordinary one.” 

Anastasia and the Petal It Forward Team will give away 100 bouquets 

to people on the street. After receiving their flowers, recipients are 

asked to spread the happiness by gifting their extra flower bouquet, 

and sharing their happiness on social media using #petalitforward. 

For more information on the benefits of flowers, visit 

ww.aboutflowers.com and www.aboutflowersblog.com. 

Anastasia’s Flowers on Main is a family owned business in the heart 

of Byfield. We are located at 55 Main St. Byfield. Offering the freshest 

flowers and designs for every life occasion. We offer delivery service 

to all the surrounding towns and nation wide.

quest for power, are Shakespeare’s 

Richard III, Vidal’s The Best 

Man, David Mamet’s November 

and James Goldman’s The Lion 

in Winter. 

About 20 senior citizens, who 

have been studying and practicing 

their lines for weeks, will read in 

a free production at the Firehouse 

at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29. 

“It is a lot of fun,” Van Eman 

said. 

The senior readers program is 

offered for those at least 55 years 

old who read from one or more 

plays seated on stage in front of 

the audience. The scripts sit on 

musical stands in front of each 

reader. 

“The actors use vocal expression, 

minimal props and sound cues to 

help the audience understand the 

story,” the program description 

states. 

Described as “show biz 

without the stress,” the actors 

are not required to memorize 

their lines or even to read from a 

teleprompter. 

Vidal’s The Best Man, written 

in the early 1960s, is a story of 

political back-biting and smear 

politics in a presidential election 

year scramble by potential 

presidential party nominees. 

A dying president has refused 

to throw his support behind 

either of the hopefuls. The 


in the crowded south end has 

already come to the council 

urging the lower speed limit. 

Cronin said the goal is not 

to get every vehicle traveling at 

25 miles per hour. Most police 

officers, he said, will not ticket 

drivers for speeding unless they 

clock them going 12 to 13 miles 

per hour over the speed limit. 

If the posted speed limit is 

30, that means drivers are going 

more than 40 miles per hour on 

crowded and narrow streets, he 

said. 

If the speed limit is 25 miles 

per hour, that means drivers will 

be traveling at 35 to 38 mile per 

hour, Cronin said. 

“You don’t want to make 

outlaws out of people,” Cronin 

said. 

New York City lowered its 

speed limits to 25 miles per 

hour two years ago as part of 

its Vision Zero initiative to 

eliminate pedestrian fatalities by 

2024. Mayor Bill de Blasio said 

studies show that lowering the 

speed limit by 5 miles per hour 

doubles the likelihood that a 

Think the 2016 Campaign Is Bad? 

liberal candidate, modeled 

after President Kennedy, whom 

Vidal did not like, is accused of 

womanizing and faces a potential 

divorce. His opponent is a slick 

conservative that will do anything 

to get elected. 

Recall the plot of Richard 

III from high school literature 

classes? An ugly hunchback, 

Richard connives in one of the 

bard’s earliest plays to ascend to 

the throne, using murder and 

deceit to secure the throne. 

In Mamet’s November, a 

beleaguered President mulls his 

rampant unpopularity as election 

day approaches, while hatching 

a plot at Thanksgiving to extort 

$200,000 from the turkey 

industry. 

And finally, in Van Eman’s 

favorite play, The Lion in Winter, 

James Goldman pits Henry II of 

England against his wife, whom 

he has imprisoned, and their 

three sons, plus assorted guests 

at the castle for Christmas. All 

are vying for power in the 12th 

Century as the still viral, but 

aging King Henry faces the end 

of his reign. 

The senior readers will read 

several sections of each play. 

Prior to the performance at the 

Firehouse, the troupe is taking the 

plays on the road, visiting senior 

centers and libraries around 

the North Shore, including 

the Rowley Public Library, as 

Going to 25 MPH? 

pedestrian will survive being hit 

by a vehicle. 

Other than alcohol 

consumption, speed is the 

biggest factor contributing to 

fatal traffic crashes, according 

to traffic studies. When a 

pedestrian or cyclist is struck by 

a vehicle, the slower the vehicle 

speed, the better the chance of 

survival. Once that speed hits 25 

mph, the risk to the pedestrian 

increases sharply, according to 

the studies. 

Research by the AAA 

Foundation for Traffic Safety 

found that the medium impact 

speed for pedestrian fatalities 

is 35 mph, which is above the 

threshold for what the human 

body can take. 

The change would not come 

cheap. Each new sign costs 

$50, Cronin said. With some 

streets needing six or eight new 

signs, the cost adds up into the 

thousands of dollars quickly, he 

said. 

One idea is to post the new 

speed limit citywide and only 

use signs to post a different speed 

limit. “We don’t know if the state 

rehearsals. 

Van Eman, a Hollywood actor 

before moving to the North 

Shore, said he takes pride in the 

seniors who have studied hard for 

the performance. They learn their 

lines and develop the characters, 

he said. A few of the readers have 

been bitten by the acting bug and 

have branched out to take classes 

at The Actors Studio and perform 

in other plays at the Firehouse. 

Van Eman also teaches several 

classes at The Actors Studio with 

Marc Clopton, including ones on 

improvisation and script analysis. 

He is the author of two novels 

and is at work on a third. 

Seats for the performance are 

available on a first come, first 

serve basis. 

Classes are limited to 12 per 

group and the cost to participate 

is $75 per person. The next 

class starts on Tuesdays, Jan. 17 

through March 7, with a public 

performance on Saturday, March 

11. 

Senior Readers Theater offers 

three sessions of eight weeks each 

throughout the year, and each 

program has two time slots – 9 to 

11 a.m. or noon to 2 p.m.

the program and to register

will go for that,” he said. 

The council is also concerned 

about what speed limit the city 

can post on state highways like 

Storey Avenue, which is posted 

at 35 miles per hour.

NATURE DESIGN IN 3D FOR 

HOMESCHOOLERS 

Join us at Newburyport’s Moseley 

Pines on a quest for natural materials 

that can be used creatively: acorns, pine 

cones, lichen, bark, moss, and other signs 

of autumn. As we search for and collect 

these materials, we will learn how they 

contribute to the forest’s interdependent 

web of life. We’ll observe and investigate 

how the forest and its inhabitants are 

preparing for winter (hibernation, 

migration, and plant dormancy). After 

our walk, students will use the materials 

they found to create woodland creatures 

and the winter homes they would 

occupy. These keepsakes will bring to life 

the stories of the seasons and the beauty 

of nature. Creating three dimensional 

nature art builds a foundation for future 

environmental science explorations and 

a lifelong appreciation for the wonder 

of wild places. Appropriate for ages 7- 

14. Parents welcome to stay, but not 

required. Thu, Oct 20, 2016 12:30 

pm - 3:00 pm. Meet at Moseley Pines, 

Newburyport. $19. Preregistration 

required. . For more information, call

For 

Sale 

This week I met with three 

homeowners who are thinking 

about becoming sellers. The 

question all home sellers ask is 

how much is my home worth? 

Determining that value is done 

by matching up your home with 

others in your immediate area 

that have similar characteristics. 

As a REALTOR® I put together 

an analysis of the real estate 

market comparing your home 

with others to get a price that 

will attract buyers. Most 

importantly I put it in writing 

to show you the evidence behind 

the price I come up with. If you 

are interested in selling your 

home, you should know how a 

market analysis is created. 

Active Listings 

Active listings are homes 

currently for sale. These homes 

have not gone under agreement 

or sold for some reason and if 

used in the market analysis 

compare with your home in 

some way (see below in “Why 

does it compare?”) They are not 

a great indicator of market value 

simply because they haven’t sold. 

Also sellers can ask whatever 

they want for their home. It 

doesn’t mean any of the prices 

they are asking are realistic. We 

have all seen the house in your 

neighborhood or town that was 

way overpriced. Overpricing a 

similar home doesn’t affect the 

price of your home unless you

and your REALTOR make 

the mistake and use it as a 

comparable when formulating a 

market analysis. 

Pending Listings 

These are listings that are under 

agreement. They have not yet 

closed, but the buyer and seller 

have come to an agreement. 

Unless the listing agent is willing 

to share information about the 

pending sale price (and we won’t 

in case the deal falls apart, in 

which case everyone will know 

what the seller was willing to 

sell for) you will not know the 

actual agreed upon price until 

the transaction closes. Pending 

sales do indicate the direction 

the market is moving. Currently 

there are a number of homes 

that are under agreement, and 

there is a scarcity of homes for 

sale. As you probably know the 

real estate market is doing well. 

Sold Listings 

Homes that have closed 

within the past six months are 

your comparable sales. These are 

the sales an appraiser will use 

(along with the pending sales) 

when appraising your home for 

the buyer. These are your best 

comparable homes. Look long 

and hard at the comparable 

sales because these indicate your 

market value.

were taken off the market for 

a variety of reasons. The seller 

may have decided not to sell, 

the home may have just sat on 

the market or the seller may not 

have found a home to purchase. 

The pricing of homes in this 

group will almost always be 

higher than the median prices of 

comparable sales. A homeowner 

may have been “testing” the 

market with a higher price and 

ultimately decided that the test 

didn’t work and took the house 

off the market. 

Why Does it Compare? 

Often times in reviewing the 

comparable sales with a seller I 

am asked “why does this house 

compare to mine, I know it 

and it is much smaller”. Well, 

while it is usually impossible 

to find a home that has sold 

that is exactly alike, choosing 

ones that are similar is the best 

course of action. Some of the 

factors taken into account when 

comparing your home to others 

are: 

Similar square footage 

Self explanatory I think. If 

your home is a 3000+ square 

foot colonial it makes sense to 

compare it to homes within 

10% either larger or smaller. 

It doesn’t make much sense to 

compare your home to a 900 

square foot ranch. 

Similar age of construction 

Ideally, the year it was built 

165 Main St., P.O. Box 101, Rowley, MA 01969 

Phone 978-948-2758 • Fax 978-948-2454 www.rowleyrealestate.com


should be within a few years of 

other comparable sold homes. 

If your home was built in 1970 

and homes in a brand new 

subdivision up the street are 

selling for more, you cannot 

reasonably expect to get the 

same price as the new homes. 

Similar amenities, upgrades 

and condition 

Have the kitchens and baths 

been updated? Do you have 

hardwood flooring? Does the 

home need a new roof or heating 

system? Obviously a home well 

cared for and up to date is worth 

more than one in need of repair. 

Your local REALTOR® who 

is a top producer in your area 

probably knows that the “older” 

house down that street that just 

sold had all new everything 

inside. 

Location 

Yes, we all know “location, 

location and location” are the 

3 most important things in 

selling a home, but what does 

this really mean? We recently 

sold a home very, very close 

to the commuter rail. While 

most people didn’t want to 

live that close to the rail tracks 

some buyers had no problem 

with it. Again, this may not 

be evident to a potential seller 

when looking on the internet 

and comparing homes, but your 

local REALTOR should know 

this and advise you.

In putting together a market 

analysis your REALTOR® should 

also take into account where 

your home is priced in relation 

to what is for sale. If the home 

next to yours is exactly the same 

and sells for $400,000 than you 

know what your home is worth. 

It is rarely that easy though. It is 

rarely that easy though. While 

for sale properties don’t factor 

into what your home is worth, 

they are your competition and 

your REALTOR® should know 

whether or not the home you 

are competing with is worth 

more or less than your home. 

Lastly, the market analysis 

is not always perfect, but if all 

of the above points are used, it 

should give you an idea as to 

where your home is valued on 

the open market.

NEWBURYPORT - It’s Mardi-Gras season in October! Time to shake off those cold-weather blues and party 

with Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Cha’s! From deep in Cajun country comes southwest Louisiana’s Nathan & the 

Zydeco Cha Cha’s. Zydeco - that unique blend of blues, rhythm and blues, traditional Creole, and the music of 

the native people of Louisiana - le musique Creole. Leader Nathan Williams grew up in a Creole-speaking family, 

and his stylings on the piano accordion have earned him a devoted following among fans of zydeco and traditional 

Louisiana music. Following in the footsteps of his uncle, the Cajun guitarist Harry Hypolite, Williams eagerly 

learned from Zydeco originators Clifton Chenier and Buckwheat Zydeco, becoming one of the most admired 

players on the scene. The dance and concert will be held on October 29th at the Belleville Congregational Church,

ROWLEY - Jim Femia, a Certified College Planning Specialist (CCPS) and 

member of the National Institute of Certified College Planners (NICCP)*, 

will present a College Planning & Financial Aid workshop at the Rowley 

Public Library on Thursday, October 27 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. This 

60-minute workshop will cover topics that concern parents of students 

who plan to attend a college or university, including: • How families of all 

income levels may be eligible for financial aid • Which colleges offer the 

best financial aid packages • How to avoid costly mistakes on the FAFSA 

and CSS Profile • How private universities can cost you less than a state 

school • How students can potentially receive more free money and less 

loans. The workshop is free, reservations are required and seating is limited. 

Both parents and students will benefit from this discussion. Register online 

at www.apellacapital.com/college or call (860) 785-2260.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re moving from a 

relatively stable situation to one that appears to be laced 

with perplexity. Be patient. You’ll eventually get answers to 

help clear up the confusion around you. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A vexing situation tempts 

you to rush 

The 

to set it all straight. 

Town 

But it’s best to let things 

Common 

sort themselves out so that you can get a better picture of 

(c) 2016 King Features Syndicate, Inc. 

the challenge you’re facing. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Financial matters could 

create some confusion, especially with a torrent of advice pouring in from several sources. Resist 

acting on emotion and wait for the facts to emerge. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That goal you’ve set is still in sight and is still in reach. Stay with 

the course that you’re on. Making too many shifts in direction now could create another set of 

problems. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It might be time to confront a trouble-making associate and 

demand some answers. But be prepared for some surprises that could lead you to make a change 

in some long-standing plans. 

GRAF RINK Learn to Skate 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. You’re making great progress in 

sorting out all that confusion that kept you from making those 

important decisions. You’re on your way now. 

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A difficult experience 

begins to ease. That’s the good news. The not-so-good news is 

a possible complication that could prolong the problem awhile 

longer. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your self-confidence 

gets a much-needed big boost as you start to unsnarl that knotty 

financial problem. Expect some help from a surprising source. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) 

Congratulations. Any lingering negative aftereffects from that 

not-so-pleasant workplace situation are all but gone. It’s time 

now to focus on the positive. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your selfconfidence 

grows stronger as you continue to take more control 

of your life. Arrange for some well-earned fun and relaxation 

with someone special. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) As usual, you’ve 

been concerned more about the needs of others than your own. 

You need to take time for yourself so that you can replenish all 

that spent energy. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stronger planetary 

influences indicate a growing presence of people eager to help 

you navigate through the rough seas that might mark your 

career course. 

BORN THIS WEEK: You can balance emotion and logic, 

which gives you the ability to make choices that are more likely 

than not to prove successful.
