As a resident and practicing dentist in Lynnfield for almost thirty years, I was deeply concerned to learn that the Lynnfield Center Water District decided to remove fluoride from its water supply. At last April’s Annual Center Water District Meeting the Board voted to remove fluoride from the water after having successfully fluoridated the water since 1959. The benefits and efficacy of water fluoridation has I Come To You 7 Days A Week! $9.99 I Do Windows ® !!!

Local dentist supports fluoride in the water been clearly established. The CDC cites fluoridation as one of the top ten most successful public health achievements. The American Academy of Pediatricians and the American Dental Association endorse community water fluoridation. There has been over 60 years of scientific studies that show the benefit and safety of fluoride. From a cost analysis standpoint every dollar spent on community fluoridation saves on average $38 in dental expenditures.

From personal experience, every day I see the benefit of fluoride in my office. Children who ingest fluoride as their teeth are developing clearly have a lower if non-existent decay rate and adults benefit from the topical effect of fluoride at preventing cavities. As patients age they can become more susceptible to decay related to various medications and gum recession. Again, the topical effect of fluoride can play a significant role in controlling this. Water fluoridation in Massachusetts became widespread in the mid-1970’s through the MDC water supply. I see a dramatic difference with patients that were born prior to that period compared to patients after that. It is almost as if a “switch’ was turned off for decay. Certainly I have heard the concerns regarding the safety of fluoride through the years. Again with hundreds of scientific studies showing the benefits and safety of fluoride along with over 70 years of use in community water supplies I cannot validate these concerns. Fluoride is a natural occurring mineral and when added to water is similar to Vitamin D being added to milk, iodine to salt and the availability of vaccines. It is a clear benefit to public health. I urge ratepayers of the Center Water District to attend the annual meeting on April 3 at the Middle School, and listen to the debate. Base your decision on facts and decided what is best for you, your families and the future public health of our community. Sincerely Rocco A. Iocco, D. M. D.
MARCH 23, 2017 WEEKLYNEWS.NET - 978-532-5880 3 A slow trip back in time HUCKLEBERRY From Page 1 the days before roads and motorized vehicles. Several of the first graders mentioned horses, but Cochran said there were no horses until the Spanish introduced them to North America centuries later. She said the Native Americans either walked the miles to the ocean, or more conveniently, they took the local riverways. Cochran also demonstrated how the Native Americans made bowls out of trees that were in turn used to turn corn into cornmeal. One student asked about what the Native Americans did for fun, and if they had basketballs. “They didn’t have basketballs a long time ago, but they did have other toys,” said Cochran. The students were also encouraged to visit Drumlin Farm and learn more about the activities there and what it does to protect animals who cannot survive in the wild. “We produce food and there are farm animals,” said Cochran. “There’s a lot of wild country there too, where there a lot of wild animals.” Injured animals are brought to the farm for rehabilitation and kept on the farm if they can’t be released back into the wild. Rep. Jones: Circuit Breaker offers tax savings for qualifying seniors House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. (R-North Reading) would like to remind Massachusetts residents who are 65 and older that they may be eligible for the state’s Circuit Breaker tax credit. Created by the Legislature in 1999, the Circuit Breaker offers financial relief to seniors whose property tax payments exceed 10 percent of their annual income. Qualifying homeowners and renters can claim a credit of up to $1,070 on their state income tax form to offset the property taxes paid on their principal residence in 2016. Representative Jones noted that the tax credit is available to Massachusetts residents who: — Are 65 or older before January 1, 2017 (for taxpayers filing jointly, only one tax filer has to be 65 to qualify); — Own or rent residential property in Massachusetts and occupy the property as their principal residence; — Have an annual income that does not exceed $57,000 for a single filer, $71,000 for a head of household, or $86,000 for joint filers; and — Have property assessed at no more than $720,000 (before residential exemptions but after abatements). For homeowners, the amount of the tax credit is determined based on the amount by which the taxpayer’s property tax payments in the current tax year – including municipal water and sewer charges but excluding any abatement or exemption – exceeds 10 percent of the taxpayer’s total income. Renters can count 25 percent of their rent payments made during the tax year as real estate tax payments. To claim the tax credit, taxpayers must submit a completed Schedule CB (Circuit Breaker Credit) form with their 2016 state income tax return. Eligible seniors must file a return to claim the tax credit even if they do not owe taxes. Representative Jones encourages anyone interested in learning more about the Circuit Breaker tax credit and the current eligibility guidelines to visit www.mass.gov/dor/seniors or to contact the DOR Customer Service Bureau at 617-887-6367(toll-free at 1-800-392-6089) for additional information. Before Get your car looking great this Spring! Town Meeting to face a reel issue CINEMA From Page 1 If the vote passes, luxury theater group CMX will operate the theater and offer ticket pricing similar to other boutique theaters. Tye said each auditorium averages 100 seats, and a glass lobby would be equipped with food and beverage. The firm also plans to propose a two-level, abovegrade additional parking structure by California Pizza Kitchen to accommodate theater patrons. This structure would not go before town meeting for a vote, but it will be reviewed by the planning board if Article 23 passes. The development firm attempted to bring a theater into town in 2009, before MarketStreet had been constructed. PAUL A.

He said a special meeting for a full discussion about the project between developers and town management will likely take place on April 4. Board member Christopher Barrett questioned why National Development waited until the final possible day to come forward with their warrant request. Tye said the developer had “a lot of ducks to line up” in order to reach this point, particularly in regards to securing a lease with the operator. Your home is your castle.

He asked that the vote on the theater be pushed off until the October Town Meeting. “Couldn’t we wait another six months? Do we really need to rush?” he asked. • Specializing in Residential Homes • Rave Reviews from Sellers and buyers • 33 Years of Experience & Integrity you can count on • Skilled Negotiator • Multi-Million Dollar Producer • Full Service Marketing Plan Contact Elaine for a Complimentary Home Valuation 781-910-6454 2 .25% APY* 36-Month CD 2 .50% APY* 48-Month CD Open at any of our offices in Newburyport, Beverly, Boxford, Gloucester, Ipswich, Middleton, Rockport, Rowley, Salisbury and Topsfield.
