The Town Common<br />

Buy a Wreath, Honor a Veteran<br />

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter<br />

REGIONAL – For the last<br />

five years the community has<br />

rallied to help Donnie Jarvis,<br />

a veteran of the Iraqi and<br />

Afghanistan wars, buy enough<br />

holiday wreaths to lay one<br />

next to the headstones of every<br />

veteran’s grave in Newbury<br />

and Newburyport.<br />

Jarvis, a Triton Regional<br />

High School graduate,<br />

collected between 600 and<br />

800 wreaths each December<br />

for the last few years and with<br />

a host of volunteers placed one on each<br />

grave.<br />

This year, because of Jarvis’ job helping<br />

other veterans cope with PTSD, addictions<br />

and other battle-related disorders, he<br />

turned the wreath program over to the<br />

Newbury Boy Scout Troop No. 44.<br />

“This is the first year that the troop has<br />

taken on this responsibility,” Jarvis said.<br />

Last week, Jarvis put out an urgent call<br />

to the wreath program supporters to order<br />

more wreaths and encourage their friends<br />

to buy a wreath.<br />

The wreaths must be ordered by Dec. 2<br />

if they are to arrive by mid-month. Each<br />

wreath, decorated with a red bow and an<br />

American flag, costs $15. Wreaths can<br />

be ordered at www.NewburyWreaths.<br />

com. Wreaths forms can also be picked<br />

up at Newburyport City Hall, Newbury<br />

Town Hall and Newburyport Chamber of<br />

Commerce.<br />

“We are asking our supporters to show<br />

their support by displaying a lawn sign<br />

and sharing their lawn sign on social<br />

media to let their friends know about the<br />

project and how others can be part of the<br />

cause,” Jarvis wrote.<br />

Lawn signs are available at the Newbury<br />

and Byfield Fire Department.<br />

Wreaths can be sponsored in<br />

remembrance of a loved one, whether<br />

–––––––––––––––––<br />

they were a veteran or not or if they were<br />

even buried in Newbury or Newburyport,<br />

Jarvis said. Wreaths will only be placed on<br />

veterans’ gravestones in Newbury and at<br />

the Veterans Cemetery in Newburyport.<br />

“With your help, the Newbury Boy<br />

Scouts will be able to place a wreath<br />

on veterans’ grave in Newbury,” Jarvis<br />

wrote.<br />

Newbury is the home of veterans who<br />

have served in wars from the American<br />

Revolutionary War to the recent wars<br />

in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Our goal is to<br />

recognize the service of our veterans to our<br />

town and to our country by honoring as<br />

many veterans as possible with a veterans’<br />

wreath that symbolizes Honor, Respect<br />

and Victory,” he wrote.<br />

At noon on Dec. 14, there will be a<br />

ceremony at the Byfield Community<br />

Arts Center hosted by the Boy Scouts to<br />

honor all veterans. It will feature seven<br />

Ceremonial Wreaths to represent each<br />

branch of the Armed Forces including<br />

the POW/MIAs and Merchant Marines.<br />

The wreaths will be placed on the graves<br />

following the ceremony.<br />

Wreaths Across America was started by<br />

Morrill Worcester, owner of the Worcester<br />

Wreath Co. in Harrington, ME. At <strong>12</strong>,<br />

Community Solar Power Comes to Newburyport<br />

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter<br />

–––––––––––––––––<br />

NEWBURYPORT<br />

– Do you want solar<br />

power to reduce your<br />

home energy bill, but<br />

your roof is not oriented<br />

right or the up-front<br />

costs of installing solar<br />

panels is out of reach?<br />

The City of<br />

Newburyport is<br />

offering about 100<br />

homes the opportunity<br />

to participate in a<br />

Community Solar<br />

Photo by Stewart Lytle<br />

program that will allow The Salisbury Solar Farm<br />

them to benefit from solar panels on a<br />

farm 80 miles away in Sutton, a town<br />

south of Worcester.<br />

Subscribers to the program, provided<br />

by Nexamp, will save 15 percent on their<br />

National Grid monthly electricity bill<br />

with no up-front costs or having to pay<br />

for installing solar panels on their roof.<br />

National Grid will continue to deliver<br />

the electricity to the homes. Subscribing<br />

to the program, at no cost, earns credits,<br />

which reduces the energy bill. And there<br />

are no panels on your roof to maintain.<br />

With Community Solar there are no<br />

sign-up or other fees, no annual contract,<br />

and the homeowner can cancel anytime.<br />

But if they want to stay in the program, it<br />

will last for <strong>20</strong> to 25 years, the lifespan of<br />

the Sutton solar farm.<br />

“The question I often get is ‘what’s the<br />

catch?’” said Keith Hevenor, director of<br />

communications for Nexamp.<br />

The Boston-based company and Molly<br />

Ettenborough, the city’s manager of<br />

recycling and energy programs, say there<br />

are no catches. They met last week twice<br />

with residents to explain the program and<br />

answer questions.<br />

Because only 100 homes can sign up for<br />

the program, Ettenborough said residents<br />

need to act quickly. Those who are not<br />

among the first 100 will be placed on a<br />

waiting list in the event that a subscriber<br />

drops out of the program.<br />

“Approximately 50 percent of homes<br />

can’t support rooftop solar panels,”<br />

Nexamp’s web site states. “If yours is<br />

one of them, Community Solar is a<br />

super easy way to support local clean<br />

energy and save up to 15 percent on<br />

electricity.”<br />

The new community solar farm in<br />

Sutton is under construction now and<br />

will add 1 megawatt of clean energy to<br />

the National Grid electric grid.<br />

In the first of its kind agreement<br />

the City of Newburyport has signed<br />

five contracts with Nexamp to provide<br />

credits for solar panels on city-owned<br />

buildings. A portion of the solar farm<br />

has been reserved for Newburyport<br />

residents.<br />

With the city’s existing solar programs<br />

at the Nock Molin School and the<br />

Salisbury solar farm, close to 60 percent<br />

of the city’s municipal energy usage will<br />

now come from renewable sources.<br />

The city’s goal as part of the C-40<br />

Climate Mayor’s program is to have<br />

all new buildings be at net zero energy<br />

usage by <strong>20</strong>30 and all buildings be at<br />

News won a trip to Washington,<br />

D.C. where he visited Arlington<br />

National Cemetery.<br />

In <strong>19</strong>92, his company had a<br />

surplus of wreaths at the end of<br />

the year. Recalling the impression<br />

the graves at Arlington had on<br />

him, he made arrangements to<br />

donate the wreaths to be placed<br />

on graves in the older sections of<br />

the national cemetery where few<br />

visitors came.<br />

Volunteers from the local<br />

American Legion and VFW<br />

Posts gathered with members of<br />

the community to decorate each<br />

wreath with traditional red, handtied<br />

bows. Members of the Maine<br />

State Society of Washington,<br />

D.C. helped to organize the<br />

wreath-laying, which included a<br />

special ceremony at the Tomb of<br />

the Unknown Soldier.<br />

In <strong>20</strong>05, a photo of the wreaths<br />

at Arlington Cemetery went viral<br />

on the Internet and sparked an<br />

interest around the country to<br />

place holiday wreaths on veterans’<br />

graves.<br />

Wreaths Across America and<br />

its national network of volunteers<br />

in recent years lay more than<br />

700,000 memorial wreaths<br />

renewable energy goals, and solar<br />

power will play a significant role<br />

in that mission,” Nexamp CEO<br />

Zaid Ashai said in a press release.<br />

“Community solar makes the<br />

benefits of clean energy available<br />

to a much larger audience,<br />

accelerating adoption and<br />

implementation.”<br />

Nexamp has been in the solar<br />

farm development business for<br />

more than a decade and has<br />

more than 40 solar projects<br />

in the state. Most are open to<br />

residents, who buy power from<br />

a local utility.<br />

Buy a Wreath, Honor a Veteran<br />

at 1,000 locations, including<br />

ceremonies at the Pearl Harbor<br />

Memorial, as well as Bunker Hill,<br />

Valley Forge and the sites if the<br />

accomplished with help of more<br />

than 2,000 fundraising groups,<br />

corporate contributions, and<br />

donations of trucking, shipping,<br />

and thousands of helping hands.<br />

The company has expanded<br />

to New York and Rhode Island<br />

and to communities in Georgia<br />

and California, which are<br />

enthusiastic about community<br />

solar projects. The company was<br />

founded by two military veterans<br />

of the Middle East wars, who<br />

wanted to help America become<br />

less dependent on foreign oil,<br />

For<br />

Sale<br />

For first time buyers or<br />

even if you have purchased<br />

real estate previously, it can<br />

be very difficult in this highly<br />

competitive market to find<br />

and land a home. Not only is<br />

it hard to secure the home that<br />

has multiple offers, but it also<br />

can be difficult to understand<br />

what is happening and what<br />

you need to do next if you<br />

haven’t done it before or in a<br />

while. Here are a few tips and<br />

some of the most common<br />

pitfalls.<br />

Be Ready - If you need a<br />

mortgage don’t wait until<br />

you find a home to get a<br />

preapproval letter. Speak with<br />

your mortgage lender and get<br />

something in writing. In a<br />

competitive market waiting<br />

for a preapproval letter can be<br />

the difference between getting<br />

a home or continuing your<br />

search.<br />

Be Realistic - Sorry, you aren’t<br />

going to find a 4 bedroom,<br />

2.5 bath home in the area for<br />

$<strong>20</strong>0,000. If you are able to<br />

find one, I hope you are very,<br />

very skilled in carpentry. Sit<br />

down with your REALTOR®<br />

to understand what you can<br />

expect to get for your money.<br />

Take a Look - If a home looks<br />

like something you might be<br />

interested in after looking<br />

online then take a drive by<br />

it. If it is in an area you can<br />

see yourself living, set up an<br />

appointment to go inside even<br />

it isn’t perfect from the outside.<br />

For example, Cape Cod style<br />

homes oftentimes look small.<br />

However, many times you will<br />

be pleasantly surprised how<br />

spacious they are inside.<br />

Imagine it Empty - Your<br />

furniture is going to go here<br />

so try to imagine it empty or<br />

with your belongings. It isn’t<br />

Real Estate • For Sale<br />

Being a New Buyer<br />

Sports • Sports • Sports<br />

By John McCarthy, Rowley Realty<br />

easy to look past a home that<br />

is full of oversized furniture,<br />

cardboard boxes and “stuff”<br />

Pets, Animals, Plus<br />

Health but try. & Fitness<br />

Inspect! – Once you have<br />

made a decision to buy and<br />

are under agreement with the<br />

seller, hire a licensed home<br />

inspector to go through<br />

the home. If he/she finds a<br />

problem (termites, faulty hot<br />

water heater, etc.) don’t panic.<br />

Ask the seller (or selling<br />

agent) to allow an expert in<br />

pest detection/removal or a<br />

plumber to come out and give<br />

an estimate to fix the damage.<br />

Don’t Become “House<br />

Poor” - Sit down with your<br />

REALTOR® or mortgage<br />

agent and honestly discuss<br />

your income level and living<br />

expenses. Take into account<br />

future considerations such as<br />

children, an addition to the<br />

home, amenities you want,<br />

and major renovations.<br />

Ask for Help - By aligning<br />

yourself with the right<br />

REALTOR® you will have an<br />

entire team at your disposal.<br />

Utilize your mortgage lender<br />

and agent. Each of them<br />

should work hand in hand for<br />

your benefit.<br />

If It’s Not In Writing, It<br />

Doesn’t Exist - All promises<br />

should be in writing. Don’t<br />

make any assumptions. Even<br />

the best intentions can be<br />

misinterpreted. Have your real<br />

estate agent keep an ongoing<br />

list of all discussions and get<br />

the seller’s written approval on<br />

all agreements.<br />

Do a Final Walk-Through<br />

- Visit the property after<br />

everything has been moved<br />

out to be sure there are no<br />

surprises. Be absolutely<br />

positive the property was left<br />

exactly as you had agreed upon<br />

in the contract.<br />

Plan For Minor Hang-ups<br />

- If you or the sellers need a<br />

little more time to conclude<br />

the final arrangements, don’t<br />

let these delays upset or<br />

frustrate you. These types of<br />

events happen, try not to let<br />

them get you down and keep<br />

your eye on the prize (your<br />

dream home!).<br />

As many of you know<br />

buying a home can be a very<br />

stressful experience. You<br />

will feel a mix of emotions<br />

while finding the right place.<br />

For most of us, buying our<br />

first home is the largest<br />

investment we’ve ever made.<br />

The emotions of purchasing<br />

something so expensive can<br />

often cloud our judgment.<br />

The right REALTOR® can<br />

help you make good sound<br />

business decisions based on<br />

your personal situation.<br />

ARIES (March 21 to April <strong>19</strong>) A<br />

rejection of your attempt to be friendly<br />

leaves you with two choices: Try<br />

again, or give up. If you want to make<br />

another effort, go slowly. Let things<br />

develop without pressure.<br />

TAURUS (April <strong>20</strong> to May <strong>20</strong>) It<br />

could be a problem dealing with unfamiliar<br />

people who do things differently<br />

from what you’re used to. But rely<br />

on that strong sense of purpose to get<br />

you through this difficult period.<br />

GEMINI (May 21 to June <strong>20</strong>) To<br />

avoid neglecting a personal matter<br />

because of a demanding new workplace<br />

schedule, start prioritizing immediately.<br />

Knowing how to apportion<br />

your time takes a little while to set up.<br />

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It<br />

won’t be easy to avoid some of the<br />

pressures that come with change. Best<br />

advice: Take things a step at a time,<br />

and you’ll be less likely to trip up<br />

while things are in a chaotic state.<br />

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A muchtalked-about<br />

workplace change could<br />

be coming soon. Be sure to get all the<br />

details involved in the process, and<br />

once you have them, you can decide<br />

how you want to deal with it.<br />

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)<br />

You might still believe that your trust<br />

was betrayed, although the facts would<br />

appear to prove the opposite. But by the<br />

week’s end you should learn something<br />

that will help set the record straight.<br />

LIBRA (September 23 to October<br />

22) Holiday plans could be a challenge<br />

because of shifting circumstances. But<br />

a more settled period starts by midweek,<br />

with any challenge to your stated position.<br />

Also, open your mind to the offer<br />

of help from an unlikely source.<br />

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to<br />

December 21) There could still be a<br />

communication problem holding up the<br />

resolution of a troublesome situation.<br />

Stay with it, and eventually your message<br />

will get through and be understood.<br />

CAPRICORN (December 22 to<br />

January <strong>19</strong>) A possible change in your<br />

workplace schedule might create a chaotic<br />

situation for a while. But once things<br />

begin to settle down, you might find that<br />

this could work to your advantage.<br />

AQUARIUS (January <strong>20</strong> to February<br />

18) A recent job-linked decision<br />

might need to be reassessed because of<br />

the possibility of finding benefits you<br />

might have overlooked. Check out all<br />

related data to help in the search.<br />

PISCES (February <strong>19</strong> to March <strong>20</strong>) A<br />

personal situation you agreed to might<br />

not be as acceptable to the other person<br />

involved in the matter. Avoid pressuring<br />

and bullying. Instead, seek common<br />

ground by talking things through.<br />

Health & Wellness<br />

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD<br />

There was an article written<br />

in the The Boston Globe a while<br />

back entitled “The Mistakes<br />

Doctors Make”…………..<br />

and right below that was a<br />

column called “Advice for all<br />

ages: Don’t skip the dentist.”<br />

They were both interesting<br />

perspectives.<br />

The dental article starts<br />

with, “Earlier this month,<br />

a team of researchers from<br />

London and the University<br />

of Connecticut announced<br />

that aggressive treatment of<br />

gum disease can improve the<br />

function of blood vessel walls in<br />

the body, potentially reducing<br />

the risk of heart attacks.” The<br />

concept is nothing new. We<br />

have known for years of the<br />

mouth-body connection with<br />

health. However, the key to the<br />

statement above is “aggressive<br />

treatment of gum disease”.<br />

What does aggressive<br />

treatment of gum disease<br />

mean? It means that instead<br />

of watching and waiting for<br />

resolution of gum problems on<br />

its own, whatever treatment is<br />

needed to achieve gum health<br />

should be performed.<br />

Periodontal (gum) disease is<br />

Brighter Smiles...<br />

DON'T SKIP THE DENTIST<br />

a silent disease. This means that<br />

it does not hurt. Over 75%<br />

of the population has some<br />

form of periodontal disease.<br />

Whether you have early stages<br />

of the disease or advanced<br />

The Town Comm<br />

periodontal involvement,<br />

you have periodontal disease.<br />

Any form of this disease is<br />

potentially affecting your<br />

overall systemic health. The<br />

goal in any case is to become<br />

periodontally healthy, whether<br />

it involves simply seeing a<br />

dentist more frequently or<br />

surgery.<br />

Many dentists tend to<br />

watch and wait far too often.<br />

“Aggressive treatment of gum<br />

disease” means that if the<br />

disease is identified, it needs to<br />

be addressed. Let’s get it right<br />

out in the open – Once you<br />

have periodontal disease, and<br />

even after it is treated, it will<br />

always return unless you follow<br />

a strict regimen of home care<br />

and professional care…….for<br />

your entire life.<br />

Even the smallest amount<br />

of inflammation in your<br />

mouth is gum disease.<br />

Periodontal disease is a chronic<br />

inflammatory process. As<br />

the article states, “Chronic<br />

inflammation anywhere,<br />

makes the body release nasty<br />

chemicals called cytokines that<br />

have been linked to diabetes<br />

and heart disease.” It goes on<br />

to say, “Cytokines can also<br />

trigger inflammation in artery<br />

walls, raise blood pressure,<br />

worsen cholesterol levels,<br />

and increase blood clotting,<br />

which can lead to potentially<br />

fatal heart attacks.” This also<br />

includes strokes. “Pregnancy<br />

complications, too, have been<br />

linked to gum disease, perhaps<br />

because chronic inflammation<br />

leads to high levels of a<br />

hormone-like substance called<br />

prostaglandin E-2, which can<br />

induce labor.”<br />

So, what are you waiting for?<br />

No one wants to hear that they<br />

need treatment for something.<br />

It is even harder to get someone<br />

to “treat something” that does<br />

not hurt and is seemingly not<br />

affecting their daily life. The<br />

fact of the matter is, periodontal<br />

disease is a disease. Diseases<br />

need to be treated or they will<br />

affect and possibly even end<br />

your life. Periodontal disease is<br />

no exception. And remember,<br />

“aggressive treatment” does not<br />

mean watch and wait to see if<br />

it goes away. It won’t go away<br />

on its own – I promise.<br />

Scammers Want Your DNA ... and Medicare Number<br />

Scammers will exploit every<br />

possible opportunity to commit<br />

fraud against seniors. This time<br />

they’re going after our DNA.<br />

The newest fraud involves billing<br />

Medicare for special testing that our<br />

doctors haven’t asked for. As is typical,<br />

they go for our vulnerabilities. These<br />

scammers claim they have tests<br />

for Parkinson’s, cancer, dementia,<br />

hereditary cancer and more. All we<br />

have to do to guard our health is to<br />

agree to these “free” tests and submit<br />

Senior Scene<br />

to a cheek swab right on the spot, or<br />

they’ll send us a kit in the mail or<br />

come to our home. All they need in<br />

order to get us the results, they say, is<br />

our Medicare information.<br />

That’s what they really want,<br />

our Medicare number, so they can<br />

submit a claim for the tests, some<br />

costing $9,000 to $<strong>11</strong>,000 each. If<br />

Medicare turns down the request for<br />

payment, you could be liable for the<br />

full amount.<br />

Beware being approached by<br />

anyone when you’re out and about.<br />

The DNA scammers approach<br />

seniors at fairs, the farmers market,<br />

by phone, in a parking lot, at aging<br />

conferences, health fairs or even at<br />

events set up by their community<br />

or church. (One group thought they<br />

were getting free ice cream to listen<br />

to a presentation.)<br />

If someone approaches you about<br />

these “free” DNA tests, say no. If<br />

you receive a test in the mail anyway,<br />

do not open it. Go online to oig.<br />

hhs.gov/fraud/hotline and tell them<br />

about the test. Or you can call 1-<br />

800-447-8477, which is the hotline<br />

for the Department of Health and<br />

Human Services. You also can call<br />

Medicare, your local police and the<br />

state attorney general.<br />

Never give anyone your Medicare<br />

number or personal information<br />

unless it’s your regular doctor.<br />

Besides the phony DNA tests, you<br />

could become a victim of other kinds<br />

of fraud.<br />
