IPSWICH – It is nothing new to the coaches at Ace Gymnastics to have their young gymnasts excel in<br />
competitions. In its 20-year history, several of its gymnasts have earned college scholarships and competed well at<br />
the sport’s highest levels.<br />
This month it was clear that the gym’s storied tradition continues as four of its teenage gymnasts, who have<br />
trained at Ace for most of their lives, shined at the statewide competition in Shrewsbury and are headed to<br />
Springfield next month to compete in the regionals.<br />
Two of Ace’s 16-year-old gymnasts are also likely to be invited to the national competition, or The Show, as it is<br />
called, that will be held this summer in Indianapolis, IN.<br />
Kylie Gorgeyni of North Reading and Riley Daniels of Rowley, both high school sophomores, are level 10<br />
athletes, just a step below the Elite category, where one finds Olympic gymnasts.<br />
Both young women expect to compete in college, probably on full scholarships. Although only a sophomore and<br />
a year before she can sign a commitment letter, Kylie has already been offered a full scholarship at the University<br />
of New Hampshire. Continued on page 3<br />
In 2015, the Friends of the<br />
Library decided that the Peabody<br />
portrait needed restoration.<br />
Having been in this library and<br />
its predecessor building for almost<br />
150 years, the portrait, painted<br />
in the late 1860s, was showing its<br />
age. The ornate frame was chipped<br />
and missing pieces. The paint was<br />
fading. And it needed a new system<br />
for hanging the large painting.<br />
So the town, using $13,300 from<br />
its Community Preservation funds,<br />
turned to the Oliver Brothers<br />
in Beverly, the nation’s leading<br />
art restoration and conservation<br />
company for the last 160 years, to<br />
restore the portrait.<br />
After storing it for almost a year<br />
while the town raised the funds,<br />
the firm began the restoration last<br />
summer and completed it this<br />
winter in time for the portrait to<br />
be rehung in its cherished spot this<br />
month.<br />
“We’re thrilled. It was an empty<br />
space without him,” Cognata said.<br />
When it was rehung, “everyone<br />

could see a difference.”<br />
The colors of the portrait are<br />
again vibrant. The chipped pieces<br />
of the frame have been replaced.<br />
Painted in England, the portrait<br />
depicts Peabody standing in front<br />
of a formal desk, his right hand<br />
inside his coat, a typical pose for<br />
portraits in the 19th century.<br />
He holds a card in his left hand<br />
addressed to the chairman of the<br />
Peabody Library, Georgetown,<br />
Massachusetts.<br />
Taped to the back of the portrait<br />
is the card. It is signed by George<br />
Peabody.<br />
There is also a note describing<br />
how the painting was created.<br />
Peabody was photographed in a<br />
studio in Brighton, England in<br />
1866. The image was enlarged,<br />
traced on canvas and the oil paint<br />
was applied. It appears that the<br />
painting was completed by 1869.<br />
Peabody, pronounced PEEbe-dee,<br />
was born to a poor<br />
Massachusetts family on Feb. 18,<br />
Continued from page 1<br />
<strong>17</strong>95. He would become one of<br />
the world’s leading bankers and<br />
founded the J.P. Morgan banking<br />
house. Peabody was also extremely<br />
generous, donating funds to create<br />
the Peabody Trust, which built and<br />
maintains housing for the poor in<br />
England; the Peabody Institute,<br />
a conservatory and universitypreparatory<br />
school in northern<br />
Baltimore, and the George Peabody<br />
Library in Baltimore as well as the<br />
library in Georgetown.<br />
In recognition of his generosity,<br />
Peabody, who lived to be 74, was<br />
awarded the Congressional Gold<br />
Medal and is considered to be the<br />
father of modern philanthropy.<br />
Peabody began his business<br />
career in dry goods, but soon<br />
turned to banking. In 1837, he<br />
moved to London, the center of<br />
international finance. He partnered<br />
with Junius Spencer Morgan in<br />
1854, a partnership that would<br />
become J.P. Morgan.<br />
Peabody took an interest in<br />
Georgetown when he would stay<br />
with his sister, Judith Peabody<br />
Russell Daniels, who lived on<br />
Main Street, while he was in<br />
Massachusetts.<br />
On Sept. 19, 1866, at the laying<br />
of the cornerstone for the Peabody<br />
Memorial Church, which was<br />
built with another gift from him,<br />
Peabody announced that he would<br />
fund the Georgetown libQrary.<br />
The wood-framed Italianate<br />
library, built on Library Street, was<br />
designed by the Boston architectural<br />
firm of Bryant & Gilman. It opened<br />
on July 3, 1868.<br />
The library was moved at the<br />
beginning of the 20th Century to<br />
Lincoln Park and opened in 1909.<br />
Almost a century later, the library<br />
was expanded to add an accessible<br />
main entrance at ground level<br />
and an interior atrium/lobby that<br />
preserves the brick facade of the<br />
rotunda.<br />
From his perch, Peabody would<br />
appear to be pleased with all the<br />
activities of the modern library he<br />
made possible.<br />
Ace Gymnasts Are a Winning Family<br />
Continued from page 1<br />
The regional competitions are<br />
stressful because the gymnasts<br />
and their coaches are working<br />
hard to win an invitation to the<br />
national competition, said Amy<br />
Patch, coach and manager of Ace<br />
Gymnastics.<br />
The national competitions are<br />
calmer, although it attracts coaches<br />
from every college gymnastic<br />
team. At the nationals Riley and<br />
Kiley will be competing against<br />
hundreds of other gymnasts, some<br />
of whom are home schooled and<br />
work out twice a day, Patch said.<br />
But for Kiley, who has gone to<br />
the nationals five times before, it<br />
will be “old hat,” Patch said. “She<br />
gets significantly better each year.<br />
Twelve-year-old Aquinnah<br />
(Quinnie) Weherein of<br />
Newburyport and 13-year-old<br />
Madison Young of West Newbury<br />
compete as level eights. Both did<br />
well in the state competition,<br />
placing on multi-player events and<br />
coming in fifth in the All-Around<br />
competition.<br />
Each of the gymnasts has her<br />
favorite event. Kiley loves the<br />
bars and is an expert at vault. In<br />
the state competition, she scored<br />
9.825 out of a possible 10.<br />
Madison also loves vault.<br />
And Quinnie loves the floor<br />
competition because in it “I can<br />
show my personality and choose<br />
my own music,” she said.<br />
As excited as the four gymnasts<br />
were last week about their success<br />
at the state competition and the<br />
upcoming regional competitions,<br />
they mostly wanted to talk about<br />
RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER<br />
what Ace has meant to them<br />
personally.<br />
“Ace is SHARE a wonderful THE GIFT place,” OF READING Riley<br />
said. “It is about relationship<br />
building. They make you feel like<br />
family.”<br />
Ace, which has expanded as<br />
the number of young would-be<br />
gymnasts on the North Shore<br />
Recycle This Newspaper<br />

to putting a smile on your child’s<br />

Like most of the gymnasts here,<br />
Quinnie came to Ace when she<br />
was very young.<br />
“She came to us when she was<br />
five. We knew right away that<br />
she had the gift,” Patch said. “She<br />
could do cartwheels. So we moved<br />
her quickly onto a team.”<br />
Madison came a little later, but<br />
she caught up quick, Patch said.<br />
“She is a fast learner.”<br />

SUNDAY, APRIL 2nd<br />
DUCKS-R-US<br />
In early April, the coastal waters,<br />
rivers, and lakes of Massachusetts’<br />
North Shore are wonderful places to<br />
observe ducks. Most of the species<br />
that have wintered here are still<br />
present, and many early migrants<br />
have returned to our area. Under<br />
favorable conditions, over 20 species<br />
of ducks can be observed. During a<br />
previous trip, we saw 21 species of<br />
ducks and two species of geese. On<br />
this all-day adventure, we will bird the<br />
Plum Island estuary, the Merrimack<br />
River, Cherry Hill Reservoir, and<br />
many sites on Cape Ann in hopes of<br />
finding these beautiful birds. Target<br />
species will include harlequin duck,<br />
Barrow’s goldeneye, three species of<br />
scoter, and many more. Sun, Apr<br />

This is the final column of this<br />

I’ve heard of some new cosmetic<br />
techniques that can improve<br />
smiles. Are they appropriate for<br />
older adults?<br />
Older adults can benefit from<br />
many of the options available<br />
today for improving the look of a<br />
smile. Your dentist can describe<br />
and discuss with you the range of<br />
treatments that would be right<br />
for you. Part of older adulthood<br />
is the acceptance of aging and<br />
the development of realistic<br />
expectations for appearance. In<br />
that context, dental treatment for<br />
older adults can be a healthy and<br />
adaptive way of maintaining dental<br />
health and emotional well-being.<br />
Our teeth and mouth play<br />
a critical role in psychological<br />
development and well-being<br />
throughout our lives. Modern<br />
dentistry has expanded esthetic<br />
options for people of all ages.<br />
Coupled with good oral hygiene<br />
Brighter Smiles...<br />
Dental Changes with Age – Part 4<br />
and regular dental visits, cosmetic<br />
techniques can help improve the<br />
appearance of your smile.<br />
I’m on a limited, fixed income<br />
and can’t really afford regular<br />
dental treatment. Are there any<br />
resources available to help me?<br />
Even if you cannot pay for dental<br />
care, you don’t need to live without<br />
it. Thousands of dentists across the<br />
country assist the elderly on fixed<br />
incomes by offering their services at<br />
reduced fees through dental societysponsored<br />
assistance programs.<br />
The availability of such aid varies<br />
from one community to another,<br />
so call your local dental society for<br />
information about where you can<br />
find the nearest assistance programs<br />
and low-cost dental care locations,<br />
such as public health and dental<br />
school clinics. Other sources of<br />
such information are local social<br />
service organizations.<br />
What is dentistry doing to<br />
better serve older adults?<br />
Dentists are experiencing a quiet<br />
revolution in their offices as the<br />
number of older patients increases<br />
steadily. The profession knows that<br />
this burgeoning population group<br />
is wearing fewer dentures and is<br />
keeping natural teeth longer. Also,<br />
we know that some patients in this<br />
group require special consideration<br />
because reduced mobility and<br />
dexterity may make daily oral<br />
hygiene difficult. In addition,<br />
medical conditions and impairment<br />
are factors that dentists take into<br />
account for certain patients.<br />
Sometimes, lack of awareness<br />
about available treatments and<br />
techniques leads older patients to<br />
make false assumptions about their<br />
dental health and tolerate conditions<br />
such as toothaches, bleeding gums<br />
and clicking dentures. Dentists<br />
are gaining practical information<br />
on how to effectively manage the<br />
treatment needs of older patients.<br />
Many dental societies have set<br />
up access programs to assist older<br />
adults, individuals with physical<br />
or mental disabilities or indigent<br />
persons to receive care.<br />
The dental profession is<br />
increasingly sensitive to the special<br />
needs of and the importance of<br />
dental health in the older patient.<br />
Older adults are more health<br />

kids can learn, grow and be successful<br />
in school and life. Boys & Girls Club<br />
Week is a great time to see how we<br />
impact the lives of young people<br />
through programs aimed to promote<br />
academic success, a healthy lifestyle<br />
and good character and leaderships<br />
skills.”<br />
