Putting High Street on a ‘Diet’ 

NEWBURYPORT – The city is 

planning to shrink historic High 

Street by putting it on a “diet.” 

The street, particularly in front 

of the high school, is too fat along 

some blocks and needs to be 

narrower between Toppans Lane 

beside the school and Buck Street. 

Based on a “very thorough and 

involved” 100-page report by the 

engineering firm TEC, the city 

has concluded this section of 

High Street “is really dangerous,” 

said city senior planner Geordie 

Vining. “People have been hurt,” 

he said, but he did not know of 

any fatalities near the school.

Routes to School (SRTS)

departments of transportation, 

the planning department hired a 

consultant to re-design state Rte. 

113, the primary entry to the city, 

to be safer for students, parents 

and teachers walking and biking 

across High Street. 

The team of engineers studied 

the volume of cars and vehicles, 

the complex traffic patterns at the 

high school with morning drop 

off and afternoon pick up, where 

students live and the routes they 

take as they walk and bike to the 

high school, middle schools and 

elementary schools. 

High Street is a busy street. 

Approximately 17,000 to 18,000 

REGIONAL – To help the 

growing number of historic 

and cultural tourist find all 

the cool places to visit along 

the North Shore, the Essex 

National Heritage Commission 

(Essex Heritage) has installed 

nine informational kiosks in 

communities from Salisbury to 

Lynn. 

The four-sided kiosks on a 

marble base showcase places of 

interest and give directions along 

the 90-mile Essex Coastal Scenic 

Byway, which includes Rte. 1A. 

Two panels on each promote the 

region, and two other panels are 

devoted to the attractions in the 

individual community where the 

kiosk is located. 

“These kiosks are a part of 

a wayfinding signage project 

that has been ongoing for 

over a decade with the goal of

daily. 

The plan is to narrow it, or put 

it on what experts call a “road 

diet,” by adding bump outs at 

four crosswalks, rebuilding the 

sidewalks along both sides of High 

Street, increasing the width of the 

bike lanes from 4 to 5 feet and 

installing flashing lights that are 

pedestrian operated. 

The crossing guards will 

continue to help pedestrians and 

motorists on High Street during 

the mornings and afternoons, 

Vining said. 

He expects the contracts for the 

project will be let and construction

supporting a tourism-based 

economic initiative by showcasing 

the region’s historic, cultural, and 

natural places,” Essex Heritage 

stated. 

Historical or cultural tourism is 

believed to be the fastest growing 

segment of the leisure industry. 

It is particularly important to 

the North Shore communities, 

which encompasses a wide variety 

of sites that stem from the early 

American history to museums to 

great beaches and riverfronts. 

The byway, created by the 

state legislature in the mid- 

2000s, links 14 coastal cities and 

towns. Kiosks were installed in 

Ipswich, Newburyport, Salisbury, 

Gloucester, Essex, Beverly, Salem, 

Marblehead and Lynn. 

The Kiosk hardware and 

panels were designed by Omloop 

Design based in Framingham, 

Early morning traffic at the High School 

with support and direction from 

the communities. The kiosks 

were fabricated and installed by 

Design Communications. 

In Ipswich, the wayfaring 

kiosk is at the visitor’s center, 

in Salisbury outside the Maria 

Miles visitors’ center on I-95 

and in Newburyport on the 

waterfront near Merrimac Street 

and the visitors’ center. The kiosk 

in Essex is at 113 Main St. and in 

Gloucester at 24 Hough Ave. 

Ribbon cutting ceremonies 

will be held in each community: 

in Ipswich at 1 p.m., December 

5; in Salisbury at 4 p.m., Dec. 

7, in Newburyport at 9:30 a.m., 

Dec. 11, in Essex at 1 p.m. on

NOTICE TO ALL RETAILERS IN ROWLEY WHO SELL 

TOBACCO AND VAPING PRODUCTS 

On Monday, December 10, 2018 at Hall Annex, 39 Central Street, 

Rowley, MA, the Board of Health will hold a public meeting on 

proposed amendments to its regulations governing the sale of 

tobacco products and smoking. The public is invited to attend and 

make comments. 

Proposed amendments would raise the minimum age to purchase 

tobacco products from 18 to 21 effective December 28, 2018. 

The Board will consider this increase in the legal sales age as an 

alternative to a state law recently passed that will gradually increase 

the age over the course of 2 years beginning December 31, 2018 

when it will move to the age of 19. Under this state law, the legal 

age will increase to age 20 on December 31, 2019 and finally to 

the age of 21 on December 31, 2020. The proposed amendment 

considered by the Rowley Board of Health would immediately 

increase the age to 21 effective December 28, 2018. 

The proposed regulations would also mandate that retailers require 

a government-issued photographic identification card be presented 

by all persons appearing under the age of 40 who wish to purchase 

tobacco products. 

Copies of the proposed regulations can be obtained at the Rowley 

Board of Health, Hall Annex, 39 Central Street, Rowley MA or by 

calling the Health Department at (978) 948-2231.

these kiosks list byway access

the public year-round.” 

Essex Heritage CEO Annie 

Harris said, “Essex Heritage is 

working to support our local

vehicle for promoting tourism 

within these communities. The 

kiosks help bring attention to our 

enduring local landmarks and

the businesses and residents of 

this coastal region.” 

Glenn Gibbs, Planning 

Director for the town of Ipswich, 

served as editor of the kiosk 

panels. He said the kiosks “are 

important because they highlight 

the byway’s scenic vistas, period 

architecture, historic sites and 

recreational opportunities. The 

Ipswich kiosk highlights nine 

attractions that meet at least one 

of those interests, but in many 

cases, several. The promotion 

of these attractions supports the 

town’s and region’s efforts to 

foster tourism-based economic 

development in Essex County.” 

Ghlee Woodworth, project 

coordinator for Newburyport, 

said, “The kiosk project will 

reach hundreds of people drawn 

to Essex County, who may not 

otherwise have visited some 

of our communities along the 

beautiful coastline including 

Newburyport. We are thrilled 

Putting High Street on a ‘Diet’ 

to be part of the kiosk project 

and know this will attract more 

visitors and assist in promoting 

what Newburyport has to 

offer: our history, wonderful 

architecture, vibrant historic 

downtown, beautiful parks and 

our harbor and beaches.” 

The wayfinding signage and 

kiosk system was funded by a 

grant from the Federal Highway 

Administration with matching 

funds from the Massachusetts 

Department of Transportation. 

Essex Heritage, a nonprofit 

organization, manages 

the Essex National Heritage

A JOURNEY TO ROMANIA WITH 

THE TRAVELING LIBRARIAN 

Saturday, December 8th at 1pm at the 

Ipswich Public Library, 25 North Main 

Street, Ipswich. Join Reference Librarian 

Jeff Klapes, ‘The Traveling Librarian,’ 

for an armchair traveler’s journey to 

Romania, one of Eastern Europe’s 

hidden gems. While not known as one 

of Europe’s great capitals, Bucharest has 

a wealth of architecture from many eras, 

and it’s not far from many of southern 

Romania’s rural sights. We’ll also visit 

Sinaia, a refreshing Transylvanian 

mountain retreat for the royal family, 

and Curtea de Argeş, a lovely alpine 

town close to the castle of Vlad the 

Impaler. This event is free and open 

to the public, and is funded by a grant 

from the Coburn Charitable Society. 

The Traveling Librarian will be visiting 

Ipswich once a month through June! 

For more information visit the library’s 

website calendar at www.ipswichlibrary. 

org, or contact the Library Director, Patty 

DiTullio, at pditullio@ipswichlibrary.org

COOKIE WALK 

2nd Annual Friends of the Rowley 

Library Cookie Walk to be held Saturday 

December 8th, 2-4 PM, at the Rowley 

Public Library, 141 Main St. Rowley 

MA With Holiday Music performed 

Live by Pianist/vocalist Nancy Day. 

Cookie Bakers Needed! Sign up today 

(via email) for the 2nd annual Friends 

of the Library Cookie Walk that will be 

held on Saturday, Dec. 8th. 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. Email 

Olivia MacDonald with any questions, 

olivialeonemacdonald@gmail.com. 

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 

3 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! This event is 

only successful because of all our bakers 

(you!) who spend the time to bake the 

cookies!!

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Keep your feelings to yourself 

as you work through an awkward circumstance. Complaining is 

useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt 

you. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine 

practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic 

pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some 

sage advice. 

(c) 2018 King Features Syndicate, Inc. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” 

that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter 

some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the 

workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears. An old friend brings good news. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker 

you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could 

prevent problems down the line. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to tackle 

those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other and 

potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your 

attention. 

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You usually have no problem 

rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. 

But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you 

act. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before you point fingers at 

who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a 

few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in 

disguise. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You seek out advice 

in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others 

overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the 

week’s end. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The trusted colleagues you 

relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take 

more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Rely on your practical side 

while exploring investment possibilities. Caution is still your watchword in 

these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An already confusing situation 

appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to 

clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special. 

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to 

follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker.

I met Kathryn when I was doing fire safety inspections as a fire 

inspector for a local fire department. I told my wife if we were to ever 

sell our home, I knew who the realtor would be. Well, the time came 

that we decided to sell our house and picking a realtor was not an 

issue, we called Kathryn. She was easy to work with and brought 

a wealth of experience to the table. She knew who needed to be 

contacted and involved and kept us updated through emails and 

phone calls. At the time of the closing she made a very stressful and 

emotional event much easier to go through. We will definitely be 

recommending Kathryn to our family and friends.

Health & Wellness 

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD 

There are very few dental practices 

that still use analog film and 

chemicals to produce dental x-rays. 

With digital technology around for 

decades, and improving along the 

way, there really is no excuse not to 

be digital. 

However, patients still often 

express concern with overexposure 

from radiation from dental x- 

rays. While I could bore you with 

statistics, to put it into perspective, 

it would take almost 400 dental x- 

rays in one year to equal the amount 

of radiation a person picks up from 

background sources each year. 

Here are a few questions answered 

about dental x-rays: 

I had a dental x ray while I was 

pregnant. I am worried that my 

unborn child might have been 

exposed to the radiation. Can you 

please tell me if there are any risks 

to my baby from this? 

There is no information 

suggesting any risk to an unborn 

child from dental x-rays received 

by the mother. We were taught in 

dental school to avoid dental x-rays 

on pregnant patients. However, 

with newer technology the radiation 

dose to the fetus is insignificant. 

Prudent practice would dictate 

Brighter Smiles... 

Questions on Dental X-Rays 

limiting x-rays on pregnant women, 

but there is absolutely no harm in 

taking x-rays if needed to diagnose 

a problem. 

Is there residual radiation in a 

room after a dental radiograph 

has been taken? 

X-rays cease to exist when the 

machine is switched off, much like 

the light from a light bulb when it 

is turned off. No residual radiation 

remains. 

How much has dental x- 

radiation been studied and how 

concerned should I be about 

having dental x-rays done? Is there 

a limit on how many I can have? 

We now have very complete 

information on patient radiation 

doses from dental x-rays. They are 

among the lowest radiation dose 

exams of any diagnostic radiologic 

procedure in the healing arts. 

Current practices deliver patient 

doses from a full-mouth series of 

intraoral films (usually 14-18 films) 

that are less than what a person 

receives in a month from natural 

environmental sources (commonly 

called background exposure). 

Doses from bitewing or panoramic 

films are even less. New technology 

is reducing the doses still further. 

There is no limit on how many dental 

x-rays you can have. The decision 

to have a dental x-ray is based on 

the benefit of knowing whether or 

not there is a cavity, crack, or some 

other abnormality. The decision to 

have them is based on what you and 

your dentist agree on being best for 

your specific situation. 

I recently had some dental x 

rays and the operator forgot to 

place the lead apron on me. Is this 

a problem? 

Use of the lead apron to protect 

the patient undergoing dental 

radiographic examination was 

recommended some 50 years ago, 

when equipment was crude. This 

was because x-ray beams were not 

restricted to the area of clinical 

interest, beams were not filtered, 

and x-ray film was slower, causing 

radiation exposures 10 to 100 times 

higher than received today. With 

the current technology reducing 

radiation exposure significantly 

and the beam limited only to the 

area of interest, there is little or no 

measurable difference in wholebody 

dose whether a lead apron 

is used or not. The lead apron is 

no longer regarded as essential 

although some consider it a prudent 

practice, especially for pregnant and 

potentially pregnant patients. 

If you have any other questions 

on dental x-rays, please e-mail them 

to me. 

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private 

dental practice in Rowley and 

Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered 

family dentistry. If there are 

certain topics you would like to see 

written about or questions you have

Newest Phone Scam: Social Security 

If you see the number 1- 

800-772-1213 on your Caller 

ID, beware. Social Security 

has put out a warning about 

scams involving spoofed phone 

numbers. Scammers can make 

any numbers they want appear, 

even the number for the Social 

Security Administration! 

Social Security is not likely to 

call you. They certainly won’t 

call you and ask you to verify 

your number (especially the new 

number on the card you were 

Senior Scene 

recently sent), or the bank where 

your automatic deposit is sent, or 

any other personal information. 

Social Security won’t call and 

threaten to take away your benefit 

if you don’t answer their questions, 

or tell you they can help get your 

benefits increased. If you get one 

of these calls, hang up and report 

it at the Office of the Inspector 

General (800-269-0271). 

But there’s more. The newest 

phone scam trick is to make your 

caller I.D. look like the call is from 

someone in your town, with state 

and local area codes. While you 

might be suspicious of out-ofcountry 

area codes or calls from 

out of state, you’re more likely to 

pick up the phone if you think it 

might be one of your neighbors. 

This is what the scammers count 

on. 

If you do pick up one of these 

calls, or any number you don’t 

recognize, the most important 

thing to remember is to never 

say “yes.” Your voice is being 

recorded, and if you answer “yes” 

to any question, scammers will 

use that as verification that you 

want to sign for whatever it is 

they’re peddling. 

Instead of answering any of 

their questions, ask your own 

questions. Ask who is calling, ask 

where they got your number ... or 

better yet, just hang up without 

saying a word.
