Agent Orange and Burn Pit Toxins 

Merrimack Valley Innovations 

Explored at Veterans’ Event 

BYFIELD – If a Vietnam 

War veteran, who was exposed 

to the herbicide Agent Orange, 

contracts prostate cancer, 

the Veterans Administration 

“presumes” it was caused by 

exposure to the chemical and 

provides compensation to the 

former soldier. 

If a Gulf War veteran, who 

inhaled toxins from burn 

pits in Iraq or Afghanistan, 

contracts lung cancer or a 

similar pulmonary disease, 

he or she may not receive any 

compensation. 

The debate over the VA’s handling of 

claims from former soldiers afflicted 

with war-derived diseases is coming to 

the North Shore. It will be discussed 

at a meeting for veterans next week. 

Sponsored by the North Shore 

Veterans Collaborative, the meeting 

will be from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. 

May 16 at the Byfield Community 

Arts Center, 7 Green Street, Byfield. 

It is part of a continuing series of bimonthly 

meetings the North Shore 

Veterans Collaborative sponsors to 

help keep veterans informed. 

Agent Orange was used extensively 

between 1961 and 1971 by the U.S. 

military as a defoliant chemical 

during the Vietnam War. In addition 

to its damaging environmental effects, 

traces of dioxin (mainly TCDD, the 

most toxic of its type) have caused 

major health problems for up to 4 

million people who were exposed. 

The chemical is capable of damaging 

genes, resulting in deformities among 

the offspring of exposed victims. The 

U.S. government has documented that 

Agent Orange has caused higher cases 

of leukemia, Hodgkin’s lymphoma

and various kinds of cancer in exposed 

veterans. 

Beginning in the early 1990s, 

cancers and other diseases that 

resulted from Agent Orange exposure 

has been on a VA presumptive disease 

list, which makes it easier for veterans 

to get support from the agency. 

The impact of burn pits on Gulf War 

soldiers is a different story. It is being 

studied extensively, but much less is 

known about the long-term effects on 

soldiers and civilians who were on the 

ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

Toxins in burn pit smoke may 

affect the skin, eyes, respiratory 

and cardiovascular systems, 

gastrointestinal tract and internal 

organs. 

Burn pits were a common way to 

get rid of waste at military sites in Iraq 

and Afghanistan, burning chemicals, 

paint, medical and human waste, 

metal and aluminum cans, munitions 

and other unexploded ordnance, 

petroleum and lubricant products, 

plastics, rubber, wood, and discarded 

food. 

In 2010, a large-scale burn pit 

operation in Iraq and Afghanistan,

AMESBURY – Trucks delivering your 

favorite beer or soda to stores today 

have to keep their motor running while 

the driver uses the lift gate to lower the 

cargo to the street or sidewalk so he can 

roll the six and 12 packs into the store. 

While idling, trucks burn fuel, which 

costs the truck owners money, and emit 

pollutants, which irritate government 

environmental agencies. In many states, 

it is even illegal for trucks to idle, but 

they do it anyway because until now 

there was no other good option. 

Now thanks to new technology by 

Blackburn Energy and a state grant 

from the Massachusetts Clean Energy 

Center’s (CEC) InnovateMass, that is all 

changing. Drivers for one of the largest 

Budweiser beer distributors in the state 

is adding Blackburn’s technology so its 

drivers can pull up to the store, shut 

off the engine and still have more than 

enough power to raise and lower the lift 

gate. 

The gate is powered, not by the 

engine, but by a bank of batteries that 

were charged, at no additional cost, 

by the kinetic energy generated by the 

truck’s brakes as it drove to make its 

The battery system uses no fuel and 

does not pollute. 

Last month, during the Earth 

Week, the state CEC came to the 

CI Works, which houses Blackburn 

and more than 60 other innovative 

companies, to announce it was giving 

Blackburn $127,270 to support its 

RelGen product, which it described 

as “a regenerative braking system that 

reduces the need to idle trucks during 

deliveries, loading and unloading, 

leading to a reduction in wasted fuel 

and hazardous emissions.” 

The money will help Blackburn 

install its system on several trucks 

owned by L. Knife & Sons of Kingston, 

which has been delivering Anheuser- 

Busch products to the South Shore 

and Cape Cod since 1934. Blackburn 

and Knife will then monitor the 

energy and dollars saved, which will 

help Blackburn convince other fleets 

of trucks to install the system. 

Andrew Amigo, Blackburn’s 

founder and CEO, described L. Knife 

& Sons, which has been in business 

for more than 100 years, as “an early 

adopter.” The state funds gave the beer 

deliveries. Continued on page 3

distributor confidence that the 

new technology works and 

will save the company money, 

Amigo said. 

The Baker-Polito 

administration announced 

grants totaling $529,600 to 

Blackburn and two other 

“early-stage clean energy 

technology companies.” 

“As our Administration 

works to significantly reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions, the 

contributions of Massachusetts’ 

many researchers and startups 

to clean energy technology 

are invaluable,” Gov. Charlie 

Baker was quoted in a news 

release. “The companies 

receiving funding through 

the InnovateMass program 

are well-positioned to develop 

groundbreaking technology 

advancements that will lead 

to positive economic impact 

for the Commonwealth while 

helping meet the challenges 

posed by climate change.” 

The other companies 

receiving grants were Czar 

Power, a Cambridge firm, 

which will receive $250,000 

to implement a high-efficiency 

smart, solar canopy-powered 

electric vehicle charger, and 

Solablock, an Easthampton 

company that will receive 

$152,333 to fund the delivery 

of a training and teaching 

module on the installation of 

solar masonry and associated 

solar electrical systems to 

the Minuteman Regional 

Vocational High School in 

Lexington. 

“The InnovateMass program

reportedly operated by the 

U.S. military or its contractors, 

was allowed to burn many 

tons of assorted waste for long 

periods of time. 

The VA’s official position on 

burn pits is that they did not 

cause long-term illnesses for 

soldiers on the ground. But in 

2014, the VA started a registry 

of veterans who were exposed 

to the toxins. Called the VA 

Airborne Hazards and Open 

Burn Pit Registry, it used a 

questionnaire to gather data 

about veterans and soldiers. 

Veterans and active duty 

soldiers may report exposure 

to burn pits, oil-well fires and 

fine sand particles. 

“These issues are huge,” 

said Karen Tyler, director 

of Veterans’ Services for the 

Eastern Essex Department 

Merrimack Valley Innovations 

seeks to provide essential 

capital to early stage clean 

energy companies at a point 

in their development when 

they are most vulnerable to 

funding challenges,” Stephen 

Pike, MassCEC CEO of the 

three grants it announced. 

“With this capital infusion, 

these companies are positioned 

to expand operations, tap 

into new markets and grow 

the state’s vibrant innovation 

economy.” 

Blackburn President Peter 

Russo said MassCEC’s mission 

is to improve the economy and 

the environment. By making 

the grant to Blackburn the 

agency is doing both, he said. 

State Sen. Diana DiZoglio, 

D-Methuen, who attended 

the announcement, said, 

“Thanks in large part to 

smart energy start-ups like 

Blackburn Energy, the 

Merrimack Valley is proving 

one of the most innovative, 

prosperous and economically 

productive regions of the 

Commonwealth.” 

Pike said he came to 

Amesbury to announce 

the grants because next to 

Greentown Labs in Somerville, 

CI Works, a collective of 

innovative companies, has the 

second most number of green 

start-up companies housed in 

the old ARC Technologies mill 

building. 

Robert O’Brien, founder and 

president of CI Works, said five 

of its tenant companies it have 

received MassCEC grants. He 

welcomed the comparison 

with Greentown Labs, saying 

of Veterans’ Services. She is 

working with the North Shore 

Veterans Coalition to sponsor 

the presentations. “There’s 

a lot of misinformation out 

there. This event will be super 

informative. The more people 

who come, the better.” 

Scheduled are four 

presenters, experts in the 

Agent Orange registry and 

Burn Pit research. They 

include Dennis LeCroix 

and Elizabeth Price, who 

are with the VA. LeCroix is 

an environmental registry 

provider, and Price is an 

expert on transitional care 

management. Also presenting 

will be Dr. Michelle Robertson 

and Bruce Dodson, vice 

president for the Vietnam 

Veterans Assn. 

Tyler promised the 

presentations will be short, 

“we have created a lot more 

jobs.”

manufacturing 

generating revenues and 

creating jobs, it has been all for 

nothing, O’Brien said. 

The support from the state, 

said Mark Friery, CFO and 

founder of CI Works, “is a 

game changer.” 

CI Works has also embarked 

on a program to upgrade its 

own mill building by adding 

the energy efficiencies. 

“We look forward to 

continued association with 

MassCEC as we advance our 

building – over 100-years 

old - toward being a net zero 

building and set an example 

for other businesses,” O’Brien 

said. MassCEC recognizes that 

CI Works “walks its talk.” 

Working with Energy Source, 

CI Works recently upgraded 

its lighting source to LED 

technology and programmable 

thermostats, which reduced 

its electrical usage by 109,486 

kBTu. Thanks to incentives 

from National Grid, the 

upgrades will pay for itself in 

a year. 

CI Works also plans to add 

solar panels to the roof of the 

old building, insulate, replace 

old windows with solar-power 

producing ones and install an 

electric vehicle charging station 

for employees.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You 

might be tempted to be more assertive 

when dealing with a job-related matter. 

But a carefully measured approach 

works best at getting the cooperation 

you’re looking for. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) 

While others urge you to act now, you 

instinctively recognize that a move at 

this time is not in your best interests. 

You should know when to do so by 

week’s end. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A 

busy schedule keeps you on the move 

for much of the week. But things ease 

up by the time the weekend arrives, 

allowing you to reconnect with family 

and friends. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Travel 

dominates the week, and despite 

some delays in getting to where you 

want to go, the overall experience 

should prove to be a positive one in 

many ways. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your 

Leonine self-confidence comes roaring 

back after a brief period of doubt 

and helps you get through a week of 

demanding challenges and ultimately 

emerge triumphant. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 

22) Virgos who have made a major 

commitment — personal or professional 

— should be able to tap into a 

renewed reservoir of self-confidence 

to help them follow through.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 

22) You soon could receive news from 

a surprising source that could cause 

you to change your mind about how 

you had planned to deal with an ongoing 

job-related problem. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 

21) A surprise move of support 

from a colleague who has never been 

part of your circle of admirers helps 

influence others to take a new look at 

what you’ve put on the table. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to 

December 21) While a bold decision 

to take an “I know what I’m doing” 

approach impresses some colleagues, 

it also raises the risk of causing resentment 

among others. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to 

January 19) A misunderstanding 

‘twixt you and a friend might not be 

your fault at all, despite what he or 

she suggests. Talk it out to see at what 

point the confusion might have started. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 

18) Getting into a community 

operation fulfills the Aquarian’s need 

to help people. It also can lead to new 

contacts that might one day help you 

with a project. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) 

A minor problem could delay the start 

of a long-anticipated trip for two. Use 

the time to recheck your travel plans. 

You might find a better way to get 

where you’re going.

Health & Wellness 

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD 

Every once in a while someone 

will say, “There must be a lot less 

cavities today than there were years 

ago because of improved home 

care, fluoride, etc., right?” The 

answer is, yes there are, but there 

is still way too much decay. Poor 

diet and home care are the two 

most common culprits leading to 

decay. When and what you eat and 

drink is important. Improvement 

in home care means changing what 

is being done now, and requires 

discipline. 

Yesterday, I went into one of 

my hygienist’s rooms to check her 

patient, a 13-year-old boy, and 

asked the hygienist how his home 

care was, because his gums were 

bright red. She said to me, “Jack, 

why don’t you tell the doctor how 

often you told me you brush your 

teeth.” The boy answered, “About 

once a week.” ONCE A WEEK?!?! 

Add to the that he is in braces 

too, which makes it even more 

important to keep the teeth clean. 

It’s important sometimes to step 

back and review the basics, so here 

they are. At a minimum, you should 

brush with a fluoride toothpaste at 

least twice a day for two minutes. 

A good electric toothbrush is 

preferable to a manual toothbrush. 

Brighter Smiles... 

BACK TO THE BASICS 

When I say “good”, I mean one that 

sits on charger, and not one that 

takes AA batteries. There are two 

major brands out there. I prefer the 

one that starts with an “O”. 

It amazes me how many people 

don’t floss their teeth. I have heard 

every excuse in the book; “My 

fingers are too big”, “I don’t have 

the time”, “It’s too hard”, “My dog 

ate the floss”. Just like anything 

else, it is always hard to start a new 

ritual. There are so many different 

kinds of floss and gadgets to help 

floss that there is something out 

there for everyone. And if you can’t 

seem to make it work, use a water 

pik. 

Bacteria, which accumulates on 

and between the teeth, forms that 

white film called plaque. Plaque 

contains billions of colonized 

bacteria. The right kind of bacteria, 

along with the wrong king of diet 

and the wrong genetics can produce 

cavities. Plaque that is not removed 

with thorough daily brushing and 

flossing can harden and turn into 

calculus (tartar). These colonized 

bacteria can then lead to tissue 

inflammation (gingivitis), the 

early stage of periodontal (gum) 

disease. 

Brushing your teeth helps get rid 

of most of the plaque, except for 

the stuff that accumulates between 

the teeth. That is what floss is for. 

I know it sounds gross but if you 

want to know what your breath 

smells like, floss a few teeth and 

then smell the floss. That should 

turn you into an avid flosser. 

The routine should be, floss, 

brush, rinse. The whole event 

should be around five minutes. 

Believe me, you have five minutes. 

Flossing first allows the fluoride 

from the toothpaste to contact a 

cleaner tooth surface between the 

teeth. I prefer a non-alcohol based 

rinse as alcohol is drying and 

creates a better environment for 

bacteria to thrive. 

One important thing about 

flossing; proper flossing is not 

popping the floss between the 

teeth and shooting it right back 

up. The proper way to floss is to 

get the floss between the contact 

of the teeth, slide the floss gently 

under the gum tissue around one 

tooth, “shoe-shine” the side of 

the tooth, gently move the floss 

over the papilla (the little piece 

of gum between the teeth), “shoeshine“ 

the side of the other tooth 

and then bring the floss up. At 

your next dental visit, ask your 

hygienist to evaluate your flossing 

skills to make sure you are doing it 

correctly. 

You have the 5 minutes twice a 

day.

What Have Studies Learned About Us? 

We seniors must be fascinating to 

researchers because it seems they’re 

always studying us. Here are a few 

things they’ve learned through Pew 

Research Center studies: 

* With all the drama nowadays 

about “fake news,” and with our 

age-enhanced ability to sniff out 

lies, it would seem that we’d be 

excellent at discerning what’s real 

and what isn’t. Not so, according to 

a study. Five thousand participants 

of all ages were presented with five 

Senior Scene 

factual statements and five opinion 

statements. Turns out the younger 

age groups were much better at 

identifying both the factual and 

opinion news items than we were. 

* Seniors are more likely to 

be religious, which researchers 

identified as meaning being part of 

a religious group, attending weekly 

services and praying daily. It’s not 

just in here in America -- they got 

the same results for most of the rest 

of the world. 

* When it comes to politics -- do 

we even want to go there? -- both 

the baby boomers (born 1946 to 

1964) and the Silent Generation 

(late 1920s to 1945) are more 

conservative, with the Silents more 

staunchly conservative than the 

boomers. 

* Although more of us are 

becoming technologically savvy, 

seniors are still 42 percent behind 

other age groups in the percentage 

of us who have cellphones or roam 

the Internet. Half of us say we need 

help setting up new devices, which is 

where more training classes at senior 

centers would come in handy. 

* Those of us over the age of 50 are 

divorcing at a rate that has doubled 

during the past 30 years. For those 

over age 65, the rate has tripled. 

If you want to read through more 

research results like these, go online 

to Pew Research Center (www. 

pewresearch.org) and search for 

seniors or elderly.
