ON THE ROAD TO PLUM<br />
ISLAND – With growing<br />
community support, particularly<br />
among area government officials,<br />
fans of the iconic Pink House are<br />
sounding more confident that a<br />
solution to the challenge the onetime<br />
spite house presents may be<br />
on the horizon.<br />
Rochelle Joseph, a leader among<br />
the Support the Pink<br />
House citizens group,<br />
encouraged members<br />
of the group to have<br />
cautious optimism.<br />
Great strides have<br />
been been made in<br />
recent months, she<br />
said, but more work<br />
will be required to<br />
develop a solution.<br />
According to<br />
legend, the threebedroom<br />
home on<br />
the Plum Island<br />
Turnpike was built<br />
in 1922 as part of a<br />
contentious divorce.<br />
The husband, ordered<br />
by the court to build<br />
for his ex-wife an exact<br />
replica of the couple’s<br />
Newburyport home,<br />
had the 2,000-square-foot house<br />
constructed on the edge of the<br />
marsh with no utilities.<br />
The house with its pink<br />
shingles, vacant and alone against<br />
the backdrop of the marsh and<br />
sky, has attracted painters and<br />
photographers for decades.<br />
Joseph, who has spent the last 18<br />
months fighting to keep the house<br />
from being demolished, described<br />
it as “part of the community” and<br />
an “iconic landmark.”<br />

Alison Odle is the fourth member<br />

Joseph said she is encouraged by<br />
the several meetings she has had<br />
with Bill Peterson, manager of the<br />
Fish and Wildlife’s Parker River<br />
Refuge, the legal owner of the<br />
Pink House. She believes he too is<br />

Mineral Street Wisdom: No Combined School at Winthrop<br />
Community Announcements<br />
We have lived in Ipswich for 50 years, with the last 38 years on<br />
Mineral Street, across from the walking path to Winthrop School.<br />
Although not official “Townies”, our adult children are. We see the<br />
Community Connections<br />
daily traffic congestion and parking violations; we know the history<br />
of the school and the neighborhood. The proposal to combine the two<br />
elementary schools into one building on the Winthrop grounds will<br />
multiply the problems we witness every day.<br />
Business Spotlight<br />
Back in 2002, signs prohibiting parking during school drop off<br />
and pick up were installed. School-related traffic along upper Mineral<br />
Street had gotten so bad that emergency response vehicles could not get<br />
Real Estate<br />
For<br />
Sale<br />
down the street. Today, these signs are largely ignored • For and Sale the problem<br />
persists. In addition, the street is a cut-through for everyday traffic<br />
attempting to avoid either driving through the Lord’s Square traffic<br />
or downtown. Even the Winthrop school buses use Mineral Street to<br />
Sports • Sports • Sports<br />
bypass traffic.<br />
As we see it, this larger school is like pouring a gallon of liquid into<br />
a pint size container. It defies science and common sense. The outward<br />
flow creates a messy and unsafe situation for traffic from Central<br />
Pets, Animals, Plus<br />
Street and downtown through Lord’s Square and up High Street to the<br />
Middle/High School. Side streets and our beautiful, historic High Street<br />
will suffer the consequences of drivers looking for a detour around the<br />
congestion.<br />
Health & Fitness<br />
It is no exaggeration. If this school project succeeds, we are concerned<br />
about not being able to get out of our driveway in an emergency. We<br />
are concerned about how long it could take an ambulance to make its<br />
way to our door. We know what we’re talking about because we have<br />
been looking out our window for 38 years.<br />

representatives of the Merrimack<br />
Valley Planning Commission,<br />
the Greenbelt, Essex County’s<br />
Land Trust, and local builder Bill<br />
Barrett, who has surveyed the<br />
house and pronounced it stable<br />
and in good shape.<br />
The options include, but were<br />
not limited to, a land swap with<br />
another federal organization, a<br />
non-profit organization or an<br />
individual land owner who might<br />
trade property of equal value to<br />
the Fish and Wildlife in exchange<br />
for the Pink House. The property<br />
would have to be acreage that the<br />
Fish and Wildlife would have a<br />
use for.<br />
She told supporters at the<br />
monthly Pink House meeting last<br />
week at PITA Hall that the fish<br />
and wildlife service is conducting<br />
two studies on the property. One<br />
is an appraisal to set a monetary<br />
value for the property. The other<br />
is an archeological study to<br />
determine if there are historical or<br />
Native American artifacts on the<br />
property that could preclude any<br />
disturbance of the land. Peterson<br />
told Joseph he was fairly confident<br />
it would not be an issue.<br />
One option under consideration<br />
is to subdivide the property,<br />
separating the two acres of higher,<br />
dry land the house sits on near<br />
the highway from the seven plus<br />
acres of wetland on the parcels<br />
behind the house. Those seven<br />
acres would be protected and are<br />
of considerably lower monetary<br />
value than the house and higher<br />
ground near the highway.<br />
The group is also exploring<br />
various uses for the Pink House.<br />
It could be a low-impact ecolab<br />
for one or more university<br />
research teams who are studying<br />
the marsh. It could also be the site<br />
of occasional outdoor painting<br />
sessions or art auctions to raise<br />
money for its maintenance.<br />
The house could be a<br />
combination of art and biology,<br />
Hoover said. Or it could exist<br />
much like a lighthouse, where<br />
a caretaker might live there to<br />
maintain the house.<br />
“We have a lot of balls in the<br />
air,” Dempsey said.<br />
Ruled out is the option to<br />
use the house as a museum or<br />
community venue. Joseph said<br />
those heavy impact uses would<br />
require too many changes to the<br />
structure of the house, including<br />
making it handicap accessible,<br />
solving parking issues and raising<br />
money to pay the cost of liability<br />
insurance.<br />
While the options are being<br />
considered, the group is<br />
seeking ways to have the house<br />
protected from the weather and<br />
encroachment by the marsh. If it<br />
is going to stay in the community,<br />
it must be preserved as a stable<br />
structure, capable of being<br />
refurbished, Joseph said.<br />
Barrett and Peterson plan to<br />
walk through the home in early<br />
March. The town of Newbury<br />

A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED<br />
Georgetown Theatre Workshop<br />
(GTW) presents A Murder Is<br />
Announced by Agatha Christie,<br />
adapted by Leslie Darbon. A Murder Is<br />
Announced, directed by Ann Jaroncyk<br />
and produced by Lou Dispenza will<br />

March 3rd and 4th. Shows begin at<br />
7:30 p.m. except for the Feb. 26th show,<br />
which is a matinee beginning at 2:00<br />
p.m. An announcement in the local<br />
paper states the time and place when a<br />
murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock’s<br />
Victorian house. The victim is not one<br />
of the house’s several occupants, but an<br />
unexpected and unknown visitor. What<br />
follows is a classic Christie puzzle of<br />
mixed motives, concealed identities, a<br />
second death, a determined Inspector<br />
grimly following the twists and turns,<br />
and Miss Marple on hand to provide the<br />
final solution at some risk to herself in a<br />
dramatic confrontation just before the<br />
final curtain. Tickets are $14.00. Seniors<br />
and Students may purchase a ticket at a<br />
discounted rate of $9.00. Tickets may<br />

NEWBURY CHIPMAN MINE<br />
Jim Cunningham, a descendant<br />
of the first settlers of Newbury and<br />
lifelong resident of Newbury, discusses<br />
the Mining Boom. Starting as early<br />
as 1697 many minerals have been<br />
discovered through the area, including<br />
Gold and Silver. During the 1870s<br />
silver was discovered in a pasture along<br />
Scotland Road. By 1873, land values<br />
in the area had jumped skyward. One<br />
newspaper article, published as far away<br />
as Colorado, reported the discovery of<br />
silver in Newbury, describing the crowds<br />
of people drawn into town by the<br />
promise of silver and filling the saloons<br />
and dance halls in Newburyport. March<br />

Health & Wellness<br />
By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD<br />
When we ask for a Kleenex or a<br />
Ziploc we may not necessarily get<br />
that brand, but we know we will<br />
get a tissue or a sealable plastic<br />
bag. It is always interesting to me<br />
hearing the different things people<br />
say in the dental office that seem<br />
to be “standard” among the general<br />
population.<br />
For example, most people use the<br />
term “Novocain”. Even dentists,<br />
including myself, use this term<br />
daily to describe the local anesthetic<br />
used to anesthetize or “numb”<br />
teeth before they are worked on.<br />
Novocain, apparently still available<br />
for purchase, has not been used in<br />
dentistry for probably 100 years,<br />
but we still use the term because<br />
everyone seems to know what we<br />
mean. We may say “Novocain” but<br />
that is not what we are writing in<br />
your medical record.<br />
Another term that is commonly<br />
used by patients and those in the<br />
dental office is “cleaning”. This<br />
term is a poor choice of words to<br />
accurately describe the service that<br />
a hygienist performs. The problem<br />
with this word is that it downplays<br />
the actual procedure. “I need to<br />
cancel my cleaning appointment.<br />
Oh, you don’t have anything for me<br />
Brighter Smiles...<br />
for 2 months? That’s okay, it’s just a<br />
cleaning”, is commonly heard in the<br />
dental office.<br />
We say “cleaning” because it’s<br />
easier than saying, “We’ll see<br />
you Monday, Mary, for your<br />
periodontal maintenance and exam<br />
which includes a full periodontal<br />
exam, scaling and polishing of all<br />
surfaces of the teeth, full dental<br />
exam, oral cancer screening and an<br />
update from the doctor to review<br />
this information with you.” If you<br />
have, or should have your teeth<br />
cleaned every 3-6 months, the word<br />
“cleaning” to describe the service<br />
being performed is very inaccurate.<br />
The term “crown”, or “cap” as some<br />
people use, usually make patients<br />
cringe. “I need a crown? I thought<br />
I just needed the filling replaced”,<br />
is common to hear. Patients tend to<br />
think that they are losing their tooth<br />
if they need a crown. While this is<br />
not the case, what if the dentist said<br />
that you need an onlay? Have you<br />
heard that term?<br />
I read an article in the paper<br />
recently entitled, “Are Crowns Made<br />
in a Day Worth the No Wait?” This<br />
article describes some of the uses<br />
of CAD/CAM (computer-aideddesign<br />
/ computer-aided milling)<br />
technology to produce “crowns”<br />
for teeth the same day in the dental<br />
office. The technology is used in<br />
about 10-15% of dental offices.<br />
In the article mentioned above,<br />
there was not one mention of the<br />
term onlay. An onlay, or partial<br />
crown, for lack of a better description,<br />
is one of the major advantages of<br />
IT’S JUST A WORD<br />
CAD/CAM technology. It often<br />
allows the dentist to perform more<br />
minimally invasive dentistry for<br />
specific teeth.<br />
The primary focus of the article<br />
was to point out that these CAD/<br />
CAM crowns may not be the best<br />
choice for patients or dentists if<br />
used on front teeth. The argument<br />
is that a dental ceramist in a dental<br />
laboratory can make “prettier”<br />
teeth than a dentist can in a dental<br />
office. While this may be true for<br />
some circumstances, the column<br />
downplayed some of the major<br />
advantages I see with the use of this<br />
technology. We say “crown” but it<br />
really means, “an indirect, bonded,<br />
protective restoration.” A “crown”<br />
may cover the whole tooth or just<br />
part of the tooth.<br />
The materials we use and the<br />
services we perform in the dental<br />
office are constantly changing. Let<br />
the dentist and dental hygienists<br />
use their knowledge, skills and<br />
technology to do great things to care<br />
for your dental health. Don’t get<br />
hung-up on words. Ask questions!<br />
Keep an open mind and become<br />
an active participant in your dental<br />
health.<br />
