River Pollution Tops Priorities
By Stewart Lytle, Reporter
N E W B U R Y P O R T
– When state Sen. Diana
DiZoglio and state Rep.
James Kelcourse met with
city council members last
week, sewage overflows
in Merrimack River,
more funding for streets,
sidewalks and schools plus
money for a firehouse and
youth center and getting
rid of the Newburyport
Redevelopment Authority
(NRA) headed the list of
issues the city wants in the
upcoming state legislative
session.
DiZoglio, D-Methuen, and
Kelcourse, R-Amesbury, told the
council members the legislative session
has not gotten underway yet for 2020,
but they were working to achieve
many of the city’s priorities.
“Thanks for your patience. It’s a very
long process,” DiZoglio said.
Kelcourse pointed out that
Newburyport and surrounding
communities did well last year with
the environmental bond measure and
economic development bond measure.
Now the legislators have to persuade
the Charlie Baker administration to
release the funds.
Both of the legislators have
championed the issue of untreated
sewage being released upriver
by municipal sewage plants in
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
during storms. The state last year
created the Merrimack River District
Commission to “share information,
review the health of the river and make
recommendations on best steps to take
to ensure the continued enjoyment of
this important body of water.”
The state also agreed with the
–––––––––––––––––

legislators to create a notification
system along the river to alert
swimmers and boaters that raw sewage
had been released into the water. The
notification system would be a colorcoded
flag system, plus information
on web sites and a mobile alert system
that could be subscribed to.
The legislature approved $100,000
to set up the notification system. The
state does not plan, at this point, to
close the river or beaches during times
of combined sewage overflow.
DiZoglio and Kelcourse were not
encouraging that the state would
budget more Chapter 90 funding to
help towns and cities pay for more
street and sidewalk paving. They
seemed a little more hopeful that the
state might fund a new firehouse for
the city of Newburyport through a
special allocation called an earmark.
The proposed dissolution of the
NRA has been progressing through
the House of Representatives for seven
months, Kelcourse told the council
members. The city has requested that
the state terminate the NRA, which

Switch Skate Park Opening This Spring
Continued from page 1
Pechilis, who with Butler
owns Full Circle Independent
Builders, said Switch will
be the next generation in
the evolution of skate parks.
Newton, a board member for
Bialek Park, said Switch will
be “a new direction” in skate
parks.
The name comes from a
double entendre, typical of the
creativity driving this project.
The dictionary of skateboarding
terms defines “switch” as riding
in the opposite direction than
usual and in the opposite
stance, while making it all
look normal. Switch is also a
nickname for Ipswich.
Sadowski, who created the
non-profit Sculpture in Open
Spaces, is planning an array of

transferred to the city.
“The money in (the
NRA) fund will be used
for improvements to the
public realm. The city of
Newburyport will develop a
public Waterfront Park space,”
the measure’s description
stated.

art for the skate park – twodimensional
paintings on
canvas and three-dimensional
sculptures along the concrete’s
edge. The art will rotate
every few months to keep it
interesting for those who come
to skate, bike or spectate.
Sadowski has “put out a
call” to local sculptors who
might want to lend a piece of
sculpture to the park. Working
with Emily Getchell, a local
arts educator and muralist,
the group is contacting local
schools for any artists who
might want to contribute.

year, the legislature approved
the Student Opportunity
Act, which authorizes $1.5
billion over the next seven
years in new investment in
public education, “ensuring
public schools have adequate
resources to provide highquality
education to students
across the state.”
Kelcourse noted that the
measure is the first time in 26
years that the legislature has
redesigned state education
funding. He has long advocated
for more state funding for
transportation of special needs
students, a major budget item
for local districts.

Switch.
Daniel Bates, an architect

from North Carolina who is a
master at blowing concrete. Its

areas of funding, including

Other major funding areas
include health care costs for

funding for English language
learners and regional school
districts that face declining
enrollments.
DiZoglio said the budget
committees have only
begun to consider proposed
allocations of additional
education funding. “I have no
idea how much would come

said.

GiuseppesFineFood.com with “overall it went well, but the

One way to combat these surprises
is to hire a professional home
inspector to perform a pre-sale or

inspection something a buyer does,
why should I pay for my own home
inspection? You should have one done
to detect and remedy issues that may
be raised by the buyer’s inspector
to avoid surprises. Anything your
inspector finds can be fixed or
disclosed prior to a buyer’s home
inspection and prior to an offer
being made. Most importantly you
can avoid every seller’s nightmare:
a deal that falls through after a
home inspection due to unexpected
problems.
Once a buyer does a home
inspection, often times they will
ask the seller to make repairs or give
them a monetary credit. If you have
your own inspection prior to putting
your home on the market, you can
make the repairs on your terms and
find your contractor. Many times
a buyer will walk away from a deal
because there “are just too many
issues”. These issues may not be big
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Events could inspire adventurous
Lambs looking to make a major career
or personal move. But as always, get
all the facts before rushing into any
sort of deal or commitment.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) What
seems to be a great opportunity could
cause even usually practical Taureans
to ignore their inner caution cues. Best
to move carefully to avoid falling into
unseen traps.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Need
a holiday now that the seasonal festivities
are behind you? Good idea. Plan to
go someplace wonderful. You’ll return
refreshed and more than ready for a
new challenge.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Progress
continues to be made on that pesky
workplace problem. Meanwhile,
don’t assume a personal situation
will work itself out. Best to get more
involved earlier than later.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Catnaps
are definitely recommended for Leos
and Leonas who had been going at a
hectic pace over the holidays. Adding
relaxation time to your schedule helps
restore your overdrawn energy reserves.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Sure, some of the new friends you
made over the holidays might move
out of your life at some point. But at
least one might show significant “staying
power” with some encouragement.

ones, but the volume of them can
turn a buyer off. If you detect these
issues prior to putting your home on
the market and fix them, then this
Pets, Animals, Plus
Health & Fitness
is less likely to happen. Even items
that are cosmetic can be identified
by a home inspector and fixed prior
to listing your home.
If you choose not to make all
the repairs, a buyer is going to be
impressed that you took the time
and money to do an inspection. By
spending the money and having an
inspection you indicate to a buyer
that you are serious about selling
and are genuinely concerned about
the condition of your home. An
inspection that shows no major issues
will also impress a buyer. Buyers will
still most likely want to do their own
home inspection. You aren’t having
this presale inspection to prevent the
buyer from having their own, but to
head off any unexpected issues that
come up in the buyer’s inspection.
Please know that a home inspector
is going to find something. Even
in the most meticulously cared for
home something that needs to be
remedied will be uncovered. The
key is not to take it personally, and
simply use the information to make
repairs or to simply disclose the issue.
Sellers can rest easy knowing that
when the time comes, the buyer’s
inspector will not find any surprises.
By having a pre-sale home inspection
you eliminate the surprise out of the
selling process, and that is something
everyone can appreciate.

LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Encourage family members to join
you in supporting a relative who could
be facing a difficult emotional challenge
in the New Year. Showing your love and
concern helps keep his or her hopes up.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November
21) While a long-deferred decision
suddenly might take on some urgency
after news on a related matter, you
still need to weigh all factors carefully
before deciding one way or the other.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) This is a good time to
reassess the earlier plan you made for
the New Year. Some elements you felt
you could depend on to make it work
might no longer carry that assurance.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January
19) Forming a renewed connection
with a former associate is only the
first step toward working out your new
plans. Be prepared for problems, and
deal with them as soon as they arise.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February
18) A romantic situation that was
going smoothly not too long ago might
take a new turn. Be honest about your
feelings before you decide whether to
follow it or take another path.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
The wise Pisces (that’s you, of course)
will make sure everyone knows your
plan to keep your options open and listen
to all sides of the situation before
making any decisions.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your honest
approach to life and living is always an
inspiration for others fortunate enough
to know you.

Health & Wellness
BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD
A while back, The Boston Globe
ran an article entitled “Advice for
all ages: Don’t skip the dentist.” It
started with, “A team of researchers
from London and the University
of Connecticut announced that
aggressive treatment of gum
disease can improve the function
of blood vessel walls in the body,
potentially reducing the risk of
heart attacks.”
The concept is nothing new.
We have known for years of the
mouth-body connection with
health. However, the key to the
statement above is “aggressive
treatment of gum disease”.
What does aggressive treatment
of gum disease mean? Basically, it
means that instead of watching
and waiting for resolution of gum
problems on their own, whatever
treatment is needed to achieve
gum health should be performed.
Periodontal (gum) disease is
a silent disease. This means that
it does not hurt. Over 75% of
the population has some form of
Brighter Smiles...
periodontal disease. Whether you
have early stages of the disease or
advanced periodontal involvement,
you have periodontal disease.
Any form of this disease is
potentially affecting your overall
systemic health. The goal in any
case is to become periodontally
healthy, whether it involves simply
seeing a dentist more frequently
or surgery.
It is easy for patients, and
even dentists, to watch and wait
as opposed to taking action.
“Aggressive treatment of gum
disease” means that if the disease is
identified, it needs to be addressed.
Let’s get it right out in the open
– Once you have periodontal
disease, and even after it is treated,
it will always return unless you
follow a strict regimen of home
care and professional care…….for
your entire life.
Even the smallest amount of
inflammation in your mouth is
gum disease. Periodontal disease
is a chronic inflammatory process.
As the article states, “Chronic
inflammation anywhere, makes the
body release nasty chemicals called
cytokines that have been linked
to diabetes and heart disease.” It
goes on to say, “Cytokines can
also trigger inflammation in artery
walls, raise blood pressure, worsen
cholesterol levels, and increase
IT WON’T GO AWAY
blood clotting, which can lead to
potentially fatal heart attacks.” This
also includes strokes. “Pregnancy
complications, too, have been
linked to gum disease, perhaps
because chronic inflammation
leads to high levels of a hormonelike
substance called prostaglandin
E-2, which can induce labor.”
No one wants to hear that they
need treatment for something. It
is even harder to get someone to
“treat something” that does not
hurt and is seemingly not affecting
their daily life.
The fact of the matter is,
periodontal disease is a disease.
Diseases need to be treated or
they will affect and possibly even
shorten your life. Periodontal
disease is no exception. And
remember, “aggressive treatment”
does not mean watch and wait to
see if it goes away. It won’t go away
on its own – I promise.

private dental practice in Rowley
and Newburyport dedicated to
