NEWBURY – Triton Regional
High School golf team coach Rich
Dube may have been the second
happiest person last month when
the town of Newbury approved
Eric Sorenson’s new driving
range on Scotland Road.
“It worked out great,” said
Dube, who has coached the
Vikings’ golf team for the last 12
years. “It is good for the team,
and it is good for the community.
This will introduce a whole new
generation to golf.”
Sorenson, a PGA certified
teaching professional, made
Triton, and particularly its golf
team, a major part of his pitch

Georgetown COA Thanks Kiwanis for Annual Dinner
Community Announcements
To the editor:
In a tradition that provides us all with a reminder of what Thanksgiving is all about, the Georgetown Kiwanis Club hosted their annual dinner for elders
at the Penn Brook School last Saturday. More than 20 members of the Kiwanis Club and other volunteers arrived by 6 a.m. to cook the twenty 22-pound
turkeys that were the centerpiece of the afternoon’s Community dinner. As the scent of oven roasted turkey wafted Connections
throughout the school, the happy sound of laughter
filled the school’s cafeteria as more than 250 elders arrived for the annual event. While they socialized before the dinner, guests enjoyed a buffet of hearty
appetizers. Along with the elders who enjoyed dinner together at the school, more than 30 meals were delivered to elders and others in the community. Each
year, the work and graciousness of the Kiwanis Club, as well as the volunteer groups who participate in this holiday event, brighten the lives of local elders
but the event also lifts the spirits of all who participate.
Business Spotlight
Filled with autumn flowers, ceramic pumpkin centerpieces decorated each linen-clad table set within the school’s cafeteria. Including Superintendent
Carol Jacobs, volunteers from the Kiwanis Club, Builders Club and Georgetown High School Key Club served up plenty of conversation along with heaping

plates of turkey and all of the traditional side dishes. Along with a home-cooked meal that included 150 pounds of carefully peeled potatoes, 40 pounds
of green beans, 100 pounds of butternut squash, six gallons of cranberry sauce, 40 pounds of home-made gravy, 400 rolls and 60 assorted pies, the annual
dinner also fed participants’ souls and spirits, nurturing the social connections that exist within this community.
On behalf of the Georgetown Council on Aging, I would like to thank the Kiwanis Club, the Builders Club, the Georgetown High School Key Club, the

Gratitude
To the Greater Newburyport Community:
In this season of giving thanks, Greater Newburyport Ovarian Cancer Awareness (GNOCA) is brimming with gratitude for the community at large.
Thanks to the enthusiastic participation and extremely generous support of local individuals and businesses, GNOCA has enjoyed its seventh consecutive
year of resounding success.
September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month, and the four events we presented were so well attended and received that we raised over $39,000 in 2017,
bringing our seven-year total to approximately $221,000. We are already anticipating and planning our 2018 season, when we hope to break the quarter
of a million mark.
This ongoing success would not be possible without a responsive and energetic community. Our goal has always been to raise funds for crucial patient
services and cutting-edge research, ultimately leading to a cure. We aim to spread awareness of the subtle symptoms of ovarian cancer, a notoriously insidious
disease. Our belief is that every life extended or saved through early detection and improved treatments is precious and worth celebrating.
We are most fortunate and forever grateful to have been joined in our mission by a multitude of caring friends and neighbors.
The sold-out Mad Hatter Tea Party, graciously hosted by Glenn’s Food and Libations for the past six years, was made possible through the fabulous
dedication and expertise of Charlene Ferreira and Glenn Mayers.
Planners Ann Marie Salmon, of Remax on the River, and Peg Egan, of My Cup of Tea in West Newbury, were blessed by the bountiful offerings of
Andyman Dessert and Baking Co., BC Essentials, Bella Beads Studio, Best of British, Beth Munro Coaching and Consultation, Carry Out Café, Captain
Bill’s “Coastie” Boat Cruises, Chococoa Baking Co., the Custom House Maritime Museum, Dana Sands Interior Design, Denise’s Flowers, Dianne’s Fine
Desserts, Eclipse Salon of Salisbury and the Elephant’s Trunk.

Jeanette Isabella smoothly served as Mistress of Ceremonies. Judges Claudia Harris, of the Elephant’s Trunk, and Nancy Jones, of the Newburyport Five
Cents Savings Bank, showed impeccable taste and scintillating humor in selecting the winning hats in a wide variety of categories.
The Lantern Festival, held at the Frog Pond on the Bartlet Mall, was another beautiful and moving observance. We owe endless thanks to our sponsors
Trudy Bortz and Joe Boyer, Institution for Savings, and the Kelly Family Charitable Fund Trust. Patrons of the event included Catherine Green, Paul
Flaherty Plumbing and Newburyport Five Cents Savings Bank. The First Ipswich Bank served as a Friend to the Festival.
We also could not have presented the Lantern Festival without the Bartlet Mall Commission, the Newburyport Parks Department, the Newburyport Fire
Department and the Salvation Army. Sue Dosick organized a stellar set of creative calligraphers; Donna Ricci coordinated an amazingly talented group of
musicians; Dave Hill, of Fusion Blue Productions, ably served as sound technician. We extend our utmost thanks to all these gifted and giving individuals.
After heavy rain precluded the possibility of holding the Lantern Festival on the originally scheduled day, both Vickie Carr and Mayor Donna Holaday
kindly helped us with all the necessary steps for moving the event to the next day.
John Moynihan, Laurie Contrino, James Atkins, Evelyn Kovach and all the wonderful Firehouse staff facilitated the performance by the Boston Comedy
Project, held at the Firehouse Center for the Arts. Our thanks for the delicious donations go out to the West Newbury Food Mart, Market Basket, Shaw’s,
Dianne’s Fine Desserts, Natural Grocer, Buttermilk Baking Co. and Tendercrop Farm. Of course, the faithful sponsorship of Trudy Bortz and Joe Boyer, the
Kelly Family Charitable Foundation, and Jonathan E. Lamson (in honor of Cheryl Lamson) was positively invaluable.
Finally, the 5K Run/Walk in Honor of Jackie Poor and Paula Holm was graced by the able assistance of Michael’s Harborside (every year!), as well as,
the Winners Circle, Joppa Flats Running Club, Rick Bayko, New Balance, the Thirsty Whale, Jessica Todd Hair Salon of Portsmouth, Coastal Aviation,
Kathy Long, Crave Restaurant, Shaheen Brothers, Plum Island Coffee Roasters, Bruce Vogel, Essential Balance Massage, Giuseppe’s, and students from the
Governor’s Academy.
Huge thanks for this culminating event of the 2017 season also go out to Trudy Bortz and Joe Boyer, Anna Jaques Cancer Center and the Kelly Family
Charitable Fund Trust.
On a much sadder note, GNOCA wants to extend deepest condolences at the recent passing of Janice Snowden, a dedicated nurse and healthcare
professional from West Newbury. When Janice was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she courageously joined forces with our organization, and her “Team
Janice,” with their very own tee shirts, participated at the 5K Run/Walk, honoring her and bolstering our efforts to raise awareness of the disease.
Many thanks to local newspapers and the various media for so readily helping to get the word out for each event.
Yes, the list is long, and any omissions are sincerely regretted. We are already looking forward to seeing all of you again next September, and we simply
cannot thank the community enough for such incredible and heartwarming support.
With eternal gratitude,
Greater Newburyport Ovarian Cancer Awareness

to support us. People were
passionate about golf,” Sorenson
said. “I have made friends for
life.”
The golf center will have 30
mats for practicing drives. Ten
mats will be heated for coldweather
play. There will also be a
10,000 square-foot grass driving
range.
The ice cream will come from
Richardson’s Farm in Middleton.
Customers can relax on a 5,000-
square-foot patio, watch golfers
practice and eat the “awardwinning,
dairy fresh” ice cream.
Dube was most excited for the
three acres Sorenson has devoted
to practicing putts and chips.
“Golf is best learned from the
green backwards,” he said.
The 12 to 16-member Triton
team currently practices at the
Ould Newbury Golf Club.
“Ould Newbury is good to us,”
Dube said. But it gets busy.
Having the golf center gives
the team another facility.
And Sorenson himself adds
“a professional who is really
committed to teaching,” Dube
said.
Sorenson will also donate
one day’s profit a year to fund a
scholarship for a Triton student.

Alyssa Cayer.
Other board members are
John Pigsley, Colby Heywood,
Hank Tenney, Rich Dodson and

The board has begun making
much needed repairs and
improvements to its building,
which includes a function hall on
the second floor, Morris said.
“Building maintenance has
been neglected for quite some
time,” Morris said. Plumbing
repairs have already been made.
Driving Range Will Bring Golf to

Ruggere.
The golf center will also employ
high school and college students,
Sorenson said.
“I want to give back,” Sorenson
said.
Winning the town’s approval
took every bit of perseverance
that Sorenson has learned
from playing golf. The process
involved five months of monthly
hearings where immediate
neighbors opposed the center.
The land is zoned for residential
and required the town to issue a
special permit.
At the town’s request, Sorenson
moved the entrance and road to
the center 500 feet to the west.
That required him to have the
entire facility redesigned.
He also agreed to limit the
lighting and close no later than 9
p.m. The neighbors also get one
“dark night” per summer.
To build the center, more than
10 acres of trees will have to be
removed, but Sorenson said he
would keep a buffer of trees along
the property lines and protect
natural habitats, including the
Martin Burns Wildlife Refuge.
Dube, who attended several
of the town meetings to support
Sorenson’s plans, is looking
forward to the team using
the facility next fall. He said
Sorenson’s “vision was worth
waiting for.”
Other needed repairs include the
roof and air conditioning units.
A ramp for handicapped visitors
is being installed to access the
function room, he said.
High school students interested
in applying for the Charles E.
Hardy $500 scholarships can find
the application in their school’s
guidance counselor’s office.
“The criteria is not solely based
on academics and is chosen based
on community service and the
student’s desire to pursue a fouryear
degree,” the RVA said.
Students who have family
military ties or are pursuing a
military career are encouraged
strongly to apply, it said.
In addition to completing the
application form, students must
write a two-page essay describing
themselves and any community
involvement project they have
participated in. Also they should
describe their career goals and
anticipated course of study in
college. They must include a copy
of the college acceptance letter.

In this hilarious sequel to Greater
Tuna, it’s Christmas in the third
smallest town in Texas. Radio
station OKKK news personalities
Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie
report on various Yuletide activities,
including hot competition in the
annual lawn display contest. In
other news, voracious Joe Bob
Lipsey’s production of “A Christmas
Carol” is jeopardized by unpaid
electric bills. Many colorful Tuna
denizens, some you will recognize
from Greater Tuna and some
appearing here for the first time,
join in the holiday fun. A Tuna
Christmas is a total delight for all
seasons, whether performed by two

ROWLEY - Friends of the Library 1st Annual Cookie Walk, Saturday December 2th, 10:30AM- 1:30 PM at the
Rowley Public Library - 141 Main St. 100% of proceeds benefit The Friends of the Library. What is a Cookie Walk?
While many have experienced a Christmas Cookie Walk, others may not be sure what it is and how it works. This
is a fundraiser where we sell homemade cookies by the tin. We ask that our members and friends bake and donate
batches of one of their favorite Christmas cookie (about 6 dozen) to donate for the walk. The day of the cookie
walk, we line tables up with large platters of the donated cookies. Buyers choose a decorative tin and walk around
the tables to choose the cookies they would like to purchase. This is a great way to get a huge variety of holiday
cookies without baking so many different kinds! All proceeds from the sale are donated to fund programming at
the Rowley Public Library! Bakers Instructions: Please bake 6 dozen (or more!) of your favorite variety of cookie.
Please only bake one variety, and email Olivia to let her know which kind you’ll bake. All varieties and types of
cookies are needed: sugar cookies, decorated cookies, etc - or bake your family favorite. Many cookies are needed
to make the walk successful. Please have cookies NOT individually wrapped, but protected (gallon Ziploc bags/
tins/plastic containers) for the event. On the day of the event, we will have the cookies displayed on platters. Drop
Off: Please come drop off your donated goodies to the Rowley Public Library between Monday Nov 27th and

via email at john@rowleyrealestate.
houses don’t sell, and how to go
com
about addressing the issues that
keep them on the market.
YOU are in the wrong market
Where is the market? We are
in a seller’s market but your price
should reflect the market, not what
you think the market will bring
it. Even in the best of a seller’s
market a higher-than-market price
can quickly turn off a buyer and
prevent them from even coming
in the door. The we will price it
high and take a lower offer theory
isn’t an effective one. It doesn’t
encourage activity and in fact
keeps people from even looking
at your home. People need to
know they can afford the home
first; then they can come on in
and love your home. What is too
much? How low do I go? Well,
the market should tell you. Talk
with your REALTOR® but make
sure he/she shows you what has
sold and what is under agreement.
Also, get an understanding of
the local competition. Currently
there is little to no inventory in
each segment of the market, but
maybe there is a comparable home
for sale. I know it is painful to
reduce your price, but if you have
no activity and there has been a
solid marketing plan in place, your
home is probably overpriced.
Where do I spend?
You’ve spent a lot of time and
money improving your home but
did you spend it correctly? Will
you get the money back when you
sell? Nothing wrong with planting
bushes and flowers or a custom
stone walkway but shouldn’t you
be fixing your deck or the gutters?
Shouldn’t you be replacing the olive
green fixtures in the bathrooms
instead? If you’re struggling to
sell and still have equity built up,
think about renovating a few key
areas. The biggest bang for your
buck when you sell are kitchens
and bathrooms. You don’t need
to do a total renovation but if you
have a linoleum floor with granite
counters and stainless appliances
you should certainly think about
replacing it. Also, throwing a
coat of paint in the rooms that
need it is always a good idea.
Small investments like paint can
really help. However keep things
“neutral” and consult with your
REALTOR® to see if he/she thinks
until a REALTOR® told them are
gone. It is the information age
and all buyers know the address of
your home and most will drive by
before deciding to view the inside.
Clean it up.
Not Yours Anymore
You must no longer think of the
home you have owned for years as
your home. When you’re selling
it’s not about you. Therefore you
have to remove your stuff from
the space and allow the buyer to
imagine their stuff. Not easy to
put away all the kids’ trophies and
all the family pictures (some are
fine) but you need to try to keep
the house as neutral as possible.
This doesn’t mean you have to
paint every wall white but odd
or “custom” doesn’t all ways sell.
Take down the “interesting” art
pieces. Eliminate anything that
appears unusual to the rest of the
general population, which leads
me into…
Staging
You don’t necessarily need a
professional stager to put your
house together (although there are
some excellent ones). You can do it
yourself, but you must look at the
house through the buyer’s eyes and
not your own (see previous entry).
Remove the extra chairs, couches
or tables. Tell your husband to
put his favorite chair on the side of
the road OR put a slip cover over
it. Replace a carpet or at the very
least have it professionally cleaned.
Enhance what you have. If your
home features a bright, welcoming
living room, set it up that way.
Cut the grass, put flowers out, light
candles and even bake cookies. You
have a great house but can anyone
see it? Is sunlight making its way
past the enormous bushes blocking
windows or the dark wallpaper
and wood paneling? Bringing
light, either natural or artificial
with new paint can change a room
dramatically. Put under cabinet
lighting to show off the granite in
the kitchen or strategically placed
spotlights to show off the plantings
in your yard.
Try to look at your home
without the rose colored glasses.
Stand back and look at it from a
buyer’s perceptive. If you can’t, and
frankly many sellers can’t, listen
to your REALTOR® who will be
honest and forthcoming in their
critique. Listen. Adjust. Sell.

Health & Wellness
By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD
Patients often ask about whether
there are any new technologies on
the horizon, or currently in use, to
help with different dental problems.
There are many concepts being
developed that could revolutionize
the way care is delivered. My
favorites are those that help prevent
things, such as root canals.
Many people have felt the jolting
sensation of a sharp pain in a tooth
after drinking cold beverages.
A tooth is made up of tubules,
microscopic channels that extend
from the inner layer of tooth called
dentin, all the way to the center
of the tooth containing the nerve.
The sensation comes from the
temperature travelling through
open tubules, either from damaged
dentin caused by decay or exposed
dentin from recession of the gums.
If the sensation goes away in a
split second the diagnosis is called
reversible pulpitis (inflammation
in the nerve of the tooth). If
the pain lingers for more than a
few seconds the diagnosis may
be irreversible pulpitis and the
treatment sometimes requires a
If you’ve reached the age where
you can collect Social Security
and keep working without any
reduction in your benefits, at some
point you’re going to wonder:
When is it safe to retire? Before
you let go of that paycheck, do a
trial run.
Try to live for a period of time
(at least six months) on just an
amount that would equal your
Social Security income should
you retire. Use the rest of your
work income to pay off all your
bills and put some money aside.
Brighter Smiles...
root canal procedure to remove the
damaged nerve.
Research being conducted at the
University of Maryland School of
Dentistry could provide dentists
with a much less invasive treatment
for pulpitis. Researchers are
developing a new, patent-pending
technique to deliver medication
directly to the center of a tooth.
The technique uses strong magnetic
fields to move microscopic particles
through the tooth’s dentin and into
the pulp.
The research uses the tubules of
the tooth as a vehicle to deliver
medication that could reduce
inflammation or treat infection.
The technique would attach
medication to nanoparticles. By
creating the nanoparticles out of a
magnetic substance, such as iron,
the researchers can use a magnetic
field to push those particles, and
the attached medication, through
the tubules and into the pulp.
Delivering steroid medication
using these magnetic nanoparticles
could treat inflammation in the
pulp. An antibiotic could also be
delivered to reduce the infection,
or a local anesthetic could be used
to anesthetize a tooth.
The research has shown that,
even though the nanoparticles are
tiny, they are able to deliver a large
enough dose for medications to be
effective. Studies are currently being
conducted on extracted human
To determine if Social Security
will be enough, save every receipt
and make a list of every single
cent you spend. At the end of
each month, divide your expenses
into categories such as Basics,
Fun, Needs, Wants or whatever
applies to your lifestyle. Your
Social Security should at least
pay for basic monthly bills and
medical care. Here’s how to get
started:
* Calculate which parts of
your lifestyle you’ll be able to
continue. Club membership with
dues? Movies twice a month with
lunch afterward? Investigate free
activities and events in your area.
* Figure a monthly plan for
your utilities. Take your last year
of bills and divide by twelve to
determine your monthly cost.

teeth to determine the optimal size
for the nanoparticles and the most
effective biocompatible coating.
By covering the particles with a
biocompatible substance, starch for
example, the body’s immune system
won’t attack the nanoparticles.
Dentists have been treating
inflammation of the pulp the same
way for a long time, which is to
remove the pulp of the tooth. When
the pulp of the tooth is removed,
the space the nerve occupied has
to be filled with a material to
prevent bacterial growth. Although
effective, this devitalizes the tooth
and comes with its own set of
potential problems over time. These
problems include a weakened tooth
with a higher potential for fracture,
as well as a much higher risk for
recurrent infection.
This new research is a possible
contemporary solution to an
age-old problem. By delivering
medication directly to the area of
the tooth that gives the tooth its
vitality, it could prevent the need
for many root canals.
Dr. St. Clair maintains a private
dental practice in Rowley and
Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered
family dentistry. If there

about your cellphone? Pay them
off with your work money.
* If you switch high-interestrate
credit cards to zero interest,
how quickly can you pay off the
balances?
* Investigate free services that are
available to low-income seniors.
* Do you have enough clothing
for the next year? Include winter
gear and shoes, which can be
big-ticket items. While you’re
practicing living on only Social
Security, stock up.
Many seniors will have only
Social Security benefits during
retirement. The time to determine
if that amount will be livable is
before you actually stop working.

ARIES (March 21 to April
check out our:
19) Your work on a recent job
assignment is impressive and is PRO WE WANT WE WANT YOU... Firefly YOU... Pottery
sure to be noticed. Meanwhile,
expect to receive news about an
upcoming holiday event you
won’t want to miss.
(c) 2017 King Features Syndicate, Inc. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Saving the world one person at a time is what you were born to do.
So accept it when people ask you for help, especially during the
holiday season.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Now that you’ve resolved all
doubts about an important decision, you can surprise a lot of
people by defending your stand with your strong and well-reasoned
arguments.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The holiday mood stirs your need
to nurture everyone from the family cat to great-grandma. But don’t
overdo it, especially with teens, who like to feel grown up.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Enjoy basking in the warm love of
family and close friends. But don’t fall into a prolonged catnap
yet. There’s still much to do before you can put up your paws and
relax.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid pushing others to
work as hard as you do on a common project. Instead, encourage
them to do their best, and they might well reward you with a
pleasant surprise.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Like the sensible Libra
you are, you no doubt started your holiday shopping already. But
be careful to keep within your budget. Shop around for the best
buys.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Love and friendship
remain strong in your aspect over the next several days. This is a
good time to develop new relationships and strengthen old ones.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A beloved family
member has news that will brighten your holidays. Also expect to
hear from friends who had long since moved out of your life.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family and friends
are in for a surprise when you accept the need to make a change
without being talked into it. (Bet it surprised you, too -- didn’t
it?)
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Restoring an old
friendship might not be as easy as you hoped. You might want
to explore the reasons for your former buddy’s reluctance to
cooperate.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your party-going activities
pick up as the holiday season takes off. Enjoy your plunge into the
social swim as you make new friends and renew old friendships.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are caring and considerate -- two
wonderful attributes that endear you to people of all ages.
