LARGEST DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE NORTH SHORE OF MA & COASTAL NH

SALISBURY – This town has one of
the better North Shore beach towns. And
beach businesses and residents pay a larger
percentage of the local property taxes that
support the schools and other local government
agencies than the rest of the town.
Rte. 1, the north-south road named for
the Revolutionary hero, the Marquis de
Lafayette, has attracted a wide variety of
businesses as well as residences. But generally,
Rte. 1 provides a quick trip to the large
shopping centers and big box stores across
the New Hampshire line in Seabrook.
In the next few years that will likely
change as Lafayette Road is upgraded with
long-awaited sewer lines and an improved
roadway and sidewalks.
“The entire Board (of Selectmen) has
been behind this project and are confident
that it will reap dividends for the Town
for years to come,” said Freeman Condon,
chairman of the town’s Selectmen. “We
spent a considerable time studying the
issue and re-zoning the entire Lafayette
Road corridor, and I am excited to see all
the years of hard work on this project come
to fruition.”
Town Manager Neil Harrington recently
unveiled the winning bid for the sewer
project. Albanese Brothers of Dracut will
be paid $12,422,161.10 to install the sewer
lines from Schoolhouse Road – just north
of the town’s fire station, senior center and
public works department — to the New
Hampshire line.
Sewers will also be installed on a section
of Main Street from Rabbit Road to Toll
Road; another section from Toll Road from
Lafayette Road to Jak-Len Drive; and on
Bayberry Lane and Jak-Len Drive. And
while Albanese Brothers is digging under
the road, it will also replace an undersized
water main on a section of Lafayette Road.
The total costs for the project are estimated
at approximately $18.5 million.
Albanese Brothers has two years to
complete the project and expects to begin
around Labor Day.
Last year, voters turned down a proposed
$26.6 million sewer project that would
have installed sewers along the entire Lafayette
Road.
The sewer lines will be installed by 2022,
just in time for the Massachusetts Department
of Transportation to begin upgrading
Lafayette Road from Salisbury Square to
the state line with new paving, new curbing,
crosswalks and a sidewalk on one side
of the road.
“Residents in this area of town have been
waiting for sewer service for a long time,
and I am pleased that this project is finally C
moving forward,” Harrington said. “In addition,
I am confident that installing new
M
Y
sewer service along the Lafayette Road and
Main Street corridors will open up this area
to new development in town, creating new
CY
jobs and new tax revenue for the Town.”

‘Godspell’ – A Drive-in Musical
REGIONAL – Covid-19 pandemic has
sprinkled new life into the old concept of
drive-in entertainment across the North
Shore, from the Topsfield Fairgrounds to
Plum Island.
Audiences are enjoying concerts and
movies safely ensconced in their cars and
trucks, away from strangers and the virus.
These events are proving popular among
the entertainment starved, looking for a
way to escape outdoors to do something
fun, but without exposing themselves and
their families to the disease.
Now, add musicals and theater to the
drive-in fare. The Firehouse Center for the
Arts in Newburyport is bringing the classic
musical, Godspell, this weekend and next
to the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury,
one of the nation’s oldest farms.
“It seemed a natural fit,” said John
Moynihan, the Firehouse executive director.
Moynihan is bringing together the sponsors,
notably the Institution for Savings;
the actors, who he called “Firehouse favorites,”
the farm, which is partnering with
the Firehouse for the first time, and notably
the Wandering Stage, a 20-foot mobile
stage with sound and dressing rooms for
the actors.
First performed in 1971, Godspell continues
to rock audiences with its chart-topping
songs, led by the hit, Day by Day. It also
features Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord, Learn
Your Lessons Well, All for the Best, All Good
Gifts, Turn Back, O Man and By My Side.

‘Godspell’ – A Drive-in Musical
Musical, from page 1
The musical was developed from
a book written by John-Michael
Tebelak and was later produced as
a feature film.
The cast is a small group of people,
who help Jesus tell different parables,
mostly from the Book of Matthew,
“by using a wide variety of games,
storytelling techniques and a hefty
dose of comic timing,” the Firehouse
release stated. “An eclectic blend of
songs, ranging in style from pop to
vaudeville, is employed as the story
of Jesus’ life dances across the stage.
Dissolving hauntingly into the Last
Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’
messages of kindness, tolerance and
love come vibrantly to life.”
Because the production requires
few technical demands and a small
cast, Godspell is a staple of theatre
companies, large and small. It is
perfect for an outdoor production,
using the Wandering Stage.
The idea for a drive-in musical
came from a Facebook post
Moynihan read. Before joining the
Firehouse, Moynihan worked in
outdoor theater productions and
had been looking to add outdoor
performances to the Firehouse
repertoire.
A drive-in musical was a new
way for him to do outdoor theater.
Nathan McNiff, the founder
and CEO of the Wandering Stage,
also comes from an outdoor theater
background. Growing up in
Byfield, he graduated from Triton
High School before studying theater
at Salem State University. He
joined the crew of Newburyport’s
Theater in the Open.
Working in large and small theaters,
McNiff became frustrated
with the high cost of renting large
theaters, but did not feel the basements
of fraternal lodges were a
good venue for theater.
Borrowing from the popularity
of the Food Truck phenomenon,
he designed his own mobile stage
to bring theater to communities
that had none. He partnered with
MainVest, a financial crowd-sourcing
company, and raised $70,000,
which underwrote the construction
of the Wandering Stage.
It has been used for outdoor productions
like the Methuen Irish
festival, the Resiliency festival in
Lawrence to celebrate a year of recovery
from the gas explosions and
other events until the pandemic
put a halt to festivals. Godspell will
be the first event since the spring.
“We are excited to be back out,”
McNiff said.
The Wandering Stage is perfectly
designed for productions like Godspell.
The actors, who perform on the
stage and in front of it to maintain
social distancing, use microphones so
their voices can be broadcast on an
FM frequency to the vehicle’s radio.
At 5 Little’s Lane in Newbury,
the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm is a
230-acre, family-friendly National
Historic Landmark that includes a
1690 manor house, which was the
country seat of wealthy Newburyport
merchants.
For Godspell, the Covid-19
state guidelines permit 75 vehicles
to see each production. The audience
can watch from inside or near
their vehicle. There is no food or
drink concessions at the farm.
Performances begin at 6:30 p.m.,
Friday, Aug. 14 through Sunday,
Aug. 16, and three performances next
weekend. Reservations must be made
in advance. Tickets at $35 per car can
be bought at www.firehouse.org.
Buying a Historic Home
By John McCarthy, Rowley Realty
New England and especially the
North Shore, has plenty of historic
homes to appreciate and for many buyers,
love. With its unique charm there is
so much to love about an antique home,
from its quirky features to its unique
charm. After visiting a few over the last
few weeks and talking with a new buyer
about purchasing one, there’s also lots to
consider. As anyone who’s watched any
of the real estate restoration shows can
tell you, owning a historic home often
comes with its own set of rewards and
challenges. Let’s take a quick look at the
pros and cons of buying a historic home.
Pros
• Beauty: Upon entering a first period
home you are sent back in time. From
the huge fireplaces, antique fixtures, hand
milled boards, built-ins and paneling there
are so many things to like about an antique
home. Chances are you will find period details
well after you move in.
• History: There are lots of physical
characteristics in a historic home but
what about the previous owners? If you
are a history buff you will want to find
out more about past owners as they all
had their own sometimes fascinating
history.
• Preservation: By purchasing a
historic home you are helping to keep
history alive, and by keeping it up you
preserve this history while at the same
time breathe new life into it.
• Style: If the center entrance colonial
or cape isn’t your cup of tea you may
enjoy living in a home with all sorts of
unique features inside and out. This area
is rich with first period homes as well as
others that come in all different architectural
styles; Federal, Georgian, Colonial
and Victorian just to name a few.
• Location: Most towns in our area
have a historic district where it is required
that homes stay looking a certain
way. If that is the case with the antique
home you are looking to buy you know
that the neighbor won’t be able to paint
their home pink or add an addition that
looks out of place.
Cons
• Prepare to Work: If you’re buying a
historic home, you better be ready to do
some work. Even the homes that are restored
completely are going to need upkeep
as you are talking about something
that is possibly 200+ years old. Homes
that haven’t been properly preserved will
most certainly fall into disrepair. If you
decide to purchase a historic home make
sure you have the money tucked away
for unforeseen projects like a crumbling
chimney or restoration of a fireplace just
to name a few.
• Follow the Rules: I mentioned it
above as a “pro” but if your home is in a
historic district it can act as a “con” as well.
You may not be able to change or add on
without the historic board’s review and
approval. If you are a true lover of historic
homes the changes you will want to make
fit the period of the home but it is another
layer of red tape. Most owners of antique
homes put the fact the home is in the historic
district squarely in the “pro” column
but it is something to keep in mind.
• Insurance: Simply put your rate
may be higher. If the home has been
renovated you shouldn’t see a big difference
from a similar, newer home but if
you are doing a full restoration you may
see your insurance rates rise.
• Surprise: Have an inspection done
prior to your purchase, preferably by an
inspector who specializes or has extensive
experience with older homes. You
want to avoid anything you can’t see
that could be a problem down the line
(asbestos, knob and tube wiring, etc.).
Should you buy a historic home?
Take a look at the pros and cons
mentioned above. Are you willing to
work, ok with unexpected repairs, and
the rules that can come with a historic
home? If you are willing to put the time
in most antique home owners will tell
you that it is well-worth the extra time
and effort required. Lastly when house
hunting, make sure to ask your REAL-
TOR® whether or not you’re looking in
a historic district. Happy house hunting!

The Merrimack
River Watershed
Council
If you are one of the many
thousands of people who is
concerned about the discharge
of sewage into the Merrimack
during rainstorms, The Merrimack
River Watershed Council
has some good news to report.
Recently the Massachusetts
House of Representatives unanimously
approved a bill that
would require sewage plants
across the state to notify the
public whenever sewage is released
into a public waterway.
These releases are called Combined
Sewage Overflows, or
CSOs. They often occur during
rainstorms, when rainwater inundates
sewage pipes and forces
the plants to release untreated
sewage in order to prevent it
from backing up into peoples'
homes. There are nearly 800
sewage plants across the nation
that have CSOs, including 6
within the Merrimack River
watershed.
Two years ago, a similar bill
passed in the Senate, but ended
up dying in the House. The bill
now heads back to the Senate.
MRWC and sister environmental
organizations are hopeful
that the bill will pass. However
it's not a done deal. A lobbying
group that represents many
of the sewage plants in Massachusetts
is working to have the
bill killed.The MRWC will be
watching this closely and will
let you know what transpires.
If this bill passes, it will require
4 sewage plants in the
Merrimack River watershed
to adhere to strict standards
for notifying the public. The
plants are in Haverhill, greater
Lawrence, Lowell and Fitchburg.
MRWC fully supports
this bill. The public has a right
to promptly know when a CSO
occurs, in order to protect public
health and increase public
awareness of the CSO problem.
The ultimate MRWC goal is to
see sewage systems upgraded
to the point where CSOs no
longer occur. This will require
many millions of dollars. The
notification bill is a small but
crucial step toward this goal.
The Merrimack River Watershed
Council has a reputation
in the Massachusetts Statehouse
as one of most vocal and active
voices on the CSO issue. Thousands
of people in the Merrimack
Valley have helped push
for a cleaner Merrimack, and
voices are being heard.
The goal is to continue to be
the "Voice of the Merrimack,"
to listen to people who live in
the Merrimack Valley and push
for the kind of positive change
that you want to see. The Merrimack
River has come a long
way from where it was 50 years
ago — when it was basically an
open sewer but there is more to
accomplish.
The MRWC is a membership
organization, funded in
large part by people who live

IPSWICH safety
tips to prevent the
transmission of
the Eastern Equine
Encephalitis (EEE)
IPSWICH - Town Manager
Anthony Marino and Director
of Public Health Colleen Fermon
are providing residents with
safety tips to prevent the transmission
of the Eastern Equine
Encephalitis (EEE) virus during
the warmest summer months.
The Town has also crafted an
informational video with tips
to help residents avoid getting
mosquito bites. According to the
Massachusetts Department of
Public Health (DPH), since the
virus was first identified in Massachusetts
in 1938, just over 110
cases have occurred. Outbreaks
of EEE usually occur in Massachusetts
every 10-20 years and
these outbreaks will typically last
two to three years. The DPH reports
that the most recent outbreak
began in 2019 and 12 cases
and six fatalities occurred that
year. The 2020 season is expected
to be another high-risk year.
EEE is a rare but serious illness
spread by the bite of an infected
mosquito. While EEE can infect
Community Announcements,

Community AnnounCements
Community Announcements,
from page 8
people of all ages, people under
15 or over 50 years of age are at
the greatest risk for serious illness.
"The Town of Ipswich's mosquito
monitoring program is
underway, and we have already
taken steps to reduce the mosquito
population through the
aerial spraying of salt marshes
and catch basin treatments, ”
Fermon said. “We thank Ipswich
residents for taking the
necessary steps to reduce the
mosquito population and to
keep Ipswich safe.” According
to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), the
EEE virus is a rare cause of brain
infections or encephalitis. Very
few human cases are reported
across the U.S. each year, but
EEE can be fatal or leave victims
with serious complications
and neurological problems. In
Massachusetts, the virus is most
often identified in mosquitoes
found in and around freshwater,
hardwood swamps. However,
mosquito breeding sites can be
anywhere and mosquitoes can
begin to multiply in any puddle
or standing water that lasts for
more than four days.
The DPH began testing mosquito
samples throughout the
state on June 15. Routine mosquito
testing is usually conducted
and reported by the DPH
from June through October.
The Town of Ipswich is part of
the Northeast Massachusetts
Mosquito Control (NEMMC)
service area, which provides
mosquito control activities to
32 communities in the region.
Each participating municipality
has their own unique set of
services that they receive from
NEMMC based on their Best
Management Practice Plans
to identify response plans and
schedule aerial mosquito spraying
depending upon the results
of routine mosquito testing and
the risk of EEE.
EEE cases are most frequently
seen between July and September
but it is important to take
precautionary measures early in
the season. The Ipswich Public
Health Department recommends
the following safety precautions
offered by the DPH
and CDC to protect yourself
and your loved ones from mosquito-borne
diseases, and reduce
the risk of exposure to the
wider community:
• Be aware of peak mosquito
hours: The hours from dusk
to dawn are peak biting times
for many mosquitoes. Consider
rescheduling outdoor activities
that occur during the
evening or early morning. If
you are outdoors at any time
and notice mosquitoes around
you, take steps to avoid being
bitten by moving indoors,
covering up and/or wearing
repellent.
• Clothing can help reduce
mosquito bites: Although it
may be difficult to do when it’s
hot, wearing long sleeves, long
pants and socks while outdoors
will help keep mosquitoes away
from your skin. Consider investing
in permethrin-treated
clothing and gear if you spend
a lot of time outdoors or work
outdoors. You can also use
permethrin to treat clothing,
but be sure to follow product
instructions and do not apply
permethrin directly to your
skin.
• If you have children, consider
purchasing mosquito netting
for strollers and baby carriers.
• Apply insect repellent when
you go outdoors. Use a repellent
with DEET, permethrin, picaridin,
IR3535 or oil of lemon
eucalyptus according to the instructions
on the product label.
• DEET products should not
be used on infants under two
months of age and should be
used in concentrations of 30
percent or less on older children.
Oil of lemon eucalyptus
should not be used on children
under three years of age. Permethrin
products are intended for
use on items such as clothing,
shoes, bed nets and camping
gear and should not be applied
directly to your skin.
• Any mosquito repellent
should be marked with an
EPA registration number which
indicates that it is safe and effective
as a mosquito repellent.
Mosquito-Proof Your Home
• Drain standing water: Many
mosquitoes lay their eggs in
standing water. Limit the number
of places around your home
for mosquitoes to breed by either
draining or getting rid of
items that hold water. Check
rain gutters and drains. Empty
any unused flowerpots and
wading pools and change water
in bird baths frequently.
• Install or repair window and
door screens: Some mosquitoes
like to come indoors. Keep
them outside by having tightly-fitting
screens on all of your
windows and doors.
Cape Ann Artisans
August 15th
Mini-Tour
Based on the success of the
July Mini-Tour, the Cape
Ann Artisans look forward
to a second one-day event
on Saturday August 15th. To
beat the heat, the hours have
been moved earlier. Six of the
studios will open at 8AM;
Plum Cove Studios will open
at 9AM and all will close at
4PM.
The participating artists include
David Archibald, Cynthia
Curtis, and Erin O’Sullivan &
Scott Place (Twin Lights Studios)
representing the ceramic
arts. They are joined by painter
Jillian Demeri, sea glass jeweler
Jacqueline Ganim-DeFalco,
glass artist Beth Williams, and
Pamela Stratton Mosaics. The
group has self-selected based
on their ability to use outdoor
spaces and welcome visitors
safely.
The Artisans will take full advantage
of their outdoor spaces
to offer “safe” visiting and
shopping. The feedback from
July was extremely encouraging
with all artisans enjoying art
sales, new regional visitors, former
patrons, and people strolling
the neighborhood and responding
to the signature pink
signage.
Artists are all taking appointments
by phone, email, and/or
Square for visitors that would
like to reserve a specific time.
Appointments will be given
first priority if the studio is at
Covid- compliant capacity.
Look for pink flags to way-find
to the open studios!
The Artisans have also confirmed
the Fall Tour for Saturday
and Sunday, October 10-
11. Details for the Fall Tour are
forthcoming. All the Cape Ann
Artisans welcome appointments
throughout the season
and hope to hear directly from
visitors.
Artisans ask for visitors to
be Covid-Compliant, wear
facial coverings, practice social
distancing, and use hand
sanitizer which will be available
at each studio. For more
