LARGEST DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE NORTH SHORE OF MA & COASTAL NH

REGIONAL – After Luke O’Brien finished
his eighth-grade basketball season, he
looked at his shoes and realized that by the
time he started another season he would
have outgrown that pair and would need
new ones.
But what should he do with the old
ones that still have a lot of use left in
them?
At Luke’s house, he has a younger
brother who can lace up his hand-medowns.
But the question about the old
sneakers started Luke, who plays soccer,
basketball and baseball, thinking about
all the shoes, cleats, helmets, pads, balls,
sticks and skates that end up in closets or
basements, while other children cannot
afford to buy the equipment needed to
play sports.
A sophomore at Newburyport High
School, Luke estimated that families spend
hundreds of dollars, probably $500 a year
on average, buying sporting gear. A pair
of basketball sneakers can run more than
$100. Lacrosse equipment, which includes
a helmet, mouthguard, gloves, elbow pads,
shoulder pads, cleats, a stick and a bag
to carry it all in, ranges from $1,500 to
$3,500.
The gear for some sports, like soccer,
baseball and basketball, are cheaper,
thus their popularity in less affluent
neighborhoods around the world. A
baseball glove runs $25 to $50 and lasts
for years. Soccer balls are even cheaper.
And while a basketball is cheap, the
shoes are expensive.
Here in New England, many young athletes
opt to play hockey, probably the most
expensive sport for gear. Skates alone cost
$150 to $400, and that does not count all
Luke O’Brien
the rest of the padding and protective gear.
From his research on the issue he
found that 24,000 Essex County children
live in poverty. Many of them want
to play organized sports and could benefit
from playing on school teams, but
their families can’t afford to buy the
equipment.
Thus was born Luke’s program — Gear
To Share.
He collects slightly used and new
sports equipment and gives it to young
athletes who need the gear. He distributes
it through organizations like the
Boys and Girls Club of Lower Merrimack
Valley and the Newburyport
Youth Services.
For Luke, who spends free time shooting
baskets in his driveway, he started Gear To
Share to bring together two things he loves:
sports and helping people.
“I want to help out any way I can,” Luke
said.
On Aug. 27 from 2 to 6 p.m. at the
Newburyport High School, you can join in
the effort. Gear to Share is hosting a drive-

Demand spikes for
Chromebooks
Last spring, when the Pandemic forced
schools to close, the most pressing shortage
at the Triton Regional District was having
enough personal professional equipment
(PPE) on hand.
This fall, things have changed. Superintendent
Brian Forget said his email in-box
has as many as 100 offers from manufacturers
of masks and other PPE.
Now, as Triton and other schools grapple
with the on-going Pandemic, the worst
shortages the district faces are not having
enough nurses to wear the PPE and bus
drivers, a perennial problem for schools
that is being exacerbated by cutting the
numbers of students on a bus to about a
third of previous years.
Plus, there’s a new problem, backlogged
Chromebooks.
Whether attending classes in person or
from home, all Triton students from kindergarten
to 12th grade will be issued new
and slightly used Chromebooks.
The Chromebook has emerged as the
computer of choice for Triton and many
other school districts because they are
thought to be a solid piece of technology
at a reasonable price. At $300 each, these
computers have most of the laptop’s features,
but without its expensive memory.
Chromebooks also feature the instant-on
function and a battery life of a tablet. Teachers,
who have their own Chromebooks, can
more easily control users, devices and applications
across a fleet of Chromebooks.
The Chromebook offers free cloud-based
email, storage, collaborative documents
and presentations. And users report fewer
maintenance issues. Mostly the outer case
can crack, and some battery issues are reported.
This summer, when Triton ordered 1,200
to 1,300 HP Chromebooks, it was told the
backlog was such that the new computers
would be delivered in mid- to late-October.
Then came much-wanted good news.
The Chromebooks were arriving earlier
than expected. About 450 are scheduled to
be dropped at school in late August, before
school opens. The rest are set to arrive in
mid-September, he said.
“We are in decent shape,” Forget said. “I
thought the Chromebook problem was going
to be much worse.”
Chromebooks are in short supply around
the world, according to market analysts like
Lauren Guenveur with International Data
Corp., because demand has reached new
Chromebooks, page 3

through where parents of athletes
can drop off unneeded sports
gear. Luke and his father, Mark
O’Brien, will load the equipment
in boxes donated by UHaul and
take it to the Boys and Girls Club
in Salisbury.
He has designed a logo and
website for the organization.
And he expects after his drivethrough
event is promoted on
social media, the idea of sharing
sporting gear may catch fire
not just on the North Shore, but
around the world.
During the Pandemic, he decided,
“It was the time to do it.” He
told NHS Basketball coach Dave
Clay about his idea and was introduced
to the Boys and Girls Club.
He also met with the city youth
services program, which he said
was enthusiastic.
“I’m just happy I’m doing it,” he
said. “It feels good.”

Demand spikes for Chromebooks
Chromebooks, from page 1
heights at a time when the Chinese-based
supply chain is trying
to recover from shutdowns due to
the Covid-19 outbreak there earlier
this year.
The demand is expected to drive
up mobile computing device shipments
to the worldwide K-12 education
sector in 2020 by 32.3 percent
and reach 42.1 million units.
Large and small districts, which
are going to remote learning in
some form, are buying up the inventory
in huge numbers.
Triton paid for its Chromebooks
with some of its federal
stimulus funds. But so did other
school districts, including
some of the nation’s largest districts.
That demand caused an
instant backlog.
The worst of the backlog is with
Lenovo, Forget said, who breathed
a sigh of relief that the district ordered
HP Chromebooks.
The concern about the Chromebook
shortage was so great that
Education Commissioner Jeffery
Riley offered each school district
help from the state in pressuring
the manufacturers to give Massachusetts
schools preferential treatment
on Chromebooks.
“It’s good that we have a good
working relationship with the
state,” Forget said.
There was some push-back on
the district’s decision to provide
each student a new or slightly
used Chromebook when some
students already had other computers.
Forget said having every
student with the same platform,
particularly working in the remote
environment, is well worth the investment.
Each student will have his student
identification number tagged
with the serial number of the
Chromebook assigned.
With the Chromebooks on
their way, Forget said he hopes the
nurse and bus driver shortages can
be solved as well.
Notice is hereby given that a Community Outreach
Meeting for a proposed Marijuana Establishment is

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD
Most people take saliva for
granted, but saliva is necessary for
proper digestion of food. Saliva
also helps protect the mouth from
dental decay, gum diseases and bad
breath, because it has the natural
ability to stop bacterial growth.
Having a dry mouth can lead to
a metallic taste in the mouth, and
the ability to taste food properly
decreases. Saliva acts as a major
defense mechanism that our bodies
need to maintain good oral and
systemic health.
Many people don’t realize they
have dry mouth, otherwise known
as xerostomia, and others find it
debilitating. Regardless of whether
you feel the effects or not, dry
mouth can be very dangerous to
your dental health. The most significant
issues are rampant dental
decay and gum disease.
So, what can cause dry mouth?
There are multiple health related
conditions and habits that can
cause or add to a dry mouth, dry
skin and general dryness of the
entire body. One cause can be
medications. There are over 3,000
prescription and over-the-counter
products or medications that can
cause dry mouth. You can be on
Brighter smiles ...
Do You Have Dry Mouth?
a medication for years before the
side effects show up. Dry mouth
side effects can also last for a long
time after you stop taking a medication.
What else can contribute to dry
mouth? Here is a list: hypothyroidism,
rheumatoid arthritis, lupus,
anemia, Sjogren’s Syndrome, chemo
therapy, alcohol consumption,
ineffective salivary glands, stress,
Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s
Disease, diabetes, allergies, vitamin
deficiencies, hypertension,
radiation therapy, menopause,
depression, smoking, and last but
not least, aging.
How do you know if you suffer
from, or are at risk for dry mouth?
Here are some questions to assess
your risk: Has your physician or
pharmacist shared with you that
a medication you are taking can
cause dry mouth? Do you find
that you wake up in the middle of
the night with a cough, or have a
choking feeling and need a drink
of water? We produce at least 50%
less saliva at night so the side effects
are more intense.
Does your tongue feel rough or
do you tend to get mouth sores?
Does your tongue stick to the roof
of your mouth? Do crunchy foods
such as potato chips or crackers
“scratch” your mouth? Do you
have dry, cracked lips and cracks
at the corners of your mouth? Do
you have thick and sticky saliva?
Are your eyes dry and eyes drops
are relatively ineffective? Is your
skin still dry after using moisturizing
lotion?
If you have a positive response to
any of these questions, you are at
risk from the damaging effects of
dry mouth. The first thing to do is
to eliminate any of the things that I
mentioned as potential causes that
are in your control, such as alcohol
consumption and tobacco use. I
also recommend that patients stay
away from alcohol-based mouth
rinses, tartar control and whitening
toothpastes.
You should also notify your physician
and dentist that you have, or
are at risk for, dry mouth. There
are many products on the market
that can be effective to help with
the symptoms, and also help to
protect your teeth and gums. In
addition, there are other prescription
products, such as high-fluoride
toothpastes and anti-oxidant
hydrating toothpastes, mouthwashes
and gels that you can only
get from your dentist or physician.
Please take dry mouth seriously.
The effects can not only be annoying
but can also ruin your teeth.
Next week I will provide information
about one thing that everyone
with dry mouth should do.

dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport

WELFARE DEPT. SEEKS DO-
NATIONS OF SCHOOL SUP-
PLIES - Since 2006, the Welfare
Department has collected backto-school
supplies for area children
in need. As always, the goal of this
project is to level the playing field
as much as possible for students,
Pre-K to Post Grad, in the Portsmouth
community. In prior years,
the Welfare Department accepted
the donations of goods at City
Hall; but this year changes are necessary
in the donation program, as
in so many other areas.
In order to minimize physical
interactions, the Welfare Department
is asking for donations to be
mailed to City Hall instead of being
delivered in person. Realizing
that this may be an extra burden,
the Welfare Department suggests
donors might consider supplying
gift cards instead. These can be
mailed, left in the gray drop box in
front of City Hall or, dropped off
with the receptionist. Gift cards in
small donations, that can be used
at any store where school supplies
can be purchased are the best
choice. Staff will be shopping to fill
in any gaps in supplies we may be
experiencing.

NEW HAMPSHIRE AGRI-
CULTURE RELIEF PROGRAM
EXPANDED PROGRAM TO
BENEFIT NEWLY ELIGIBLE
FARMS - The Governor has authorized
the allocation and expenditure
of $10 million in emergency
funding/grants from the
CARES Act Coronavirus Relief
Fund to support New Hampshire
dairy farmers, and specialty
crop producers, including fruit,
vegetable, and ornamental plant
growers, and maple producers,
with COVID-19-related expenses
and lost revenues from March
1, 2020 to December 30, 2020.
Specifically, the Governor has
authorized the allocation of $4.5
million to dairy farms for milk
price support; $2.5 million to
non-dairy farms generally in order
to ease the burden of substantial
new COVID-19-related costs
like extra cleaning and sanitizing,
ensuring social distancing, and
lost sales, including $1.5 million
for specialty crop producers that
had at least $50,000 of 2019
gross sales (“Registered Farm
Program”), and $1 million for all
other farms that, during any application
period, have incurred
average COVID-19-related expenses
of at least $500 per month
or average COVID-19-related
lost sales of at least $1,000 per
month (“Non-Registered Farm
Program”); and $3 million for

Specialty Crop Producers
Registered Farm Program
This program provides relief
funding for specialty crop producers,
including fruit, vegetable, and
ornamental plant growers, and maple
producers, provided that they:
(1) had at least $50,000 of 2019
gross sales; (2) registered for the
program by June 22, 2020; and
(3) have incurred COVID-19-related
expenses and/or lost sales
since March 1, 2020 (“Registered
Farm(s)”). If an otherwise eligible
farm did not register by June 22,
2020, it cannot apply for relief
through this program.
A Registered Farm can submit up
to three applications, one for each
of three time periods. However, if
a Registered Farm does not submit
an application by the deadline, it
cannot receive relief funding for
any COVID-19-related expenses
and/or lost sales incurred during

the applicable time period, as outlined
below. The first application
period for losses incurred during
the period from March 1, 2020 to
June 30, 2020 began on June 25,
2020 and ended on July 15, 2020.
The next application deadlines are:
• October 15, 2020, for expenses
and/or lost sales incurred during
July 1, 2020 to September 30,
2020; and
• December 10, 2020, for expenses
and/or lost sales incurred
during October 1, 2020 to November
30, 2020.
The amount of any grant will be
calculated according to the following
formula:
• 100% of COVID-19-related
expenses during the application
period, except labor costs and capital
purchases;
• 50% of COVID-19-related
labor costs up to the amount of
any year-over-year sales increase,
or 100% if no sales increase or for
any amount over the increase;
• 25% of any allowable
COVID-19-related capital purchases;
and
• 50% of COVID-19-related
lost sales from 2019 to 2020
during the application period.
The $1.5 million allocation is
available to Registered Farms only,
unless, based on the formula, they
would receive grants totaling less
than $1.5 million. If so, the remaining
funds could be used for
the Non-Registered Farms Program.
Expanded Farm Program
This program provides relief
funding for newly eligible, nondairy,
farms that cannot apply
through the Registered Farm Program,
whether because they had
less than $50,000 of 2019 gross
sales, or missed the registration
deadline. Instead of the Registered
Farm Program’s $50,000 threshold,
the Expanded Farm Program
has a much lower, application period-specific
threshold based on
COVID-19-related losses. Specifically,
a farm would be eligible to
apply for relief funding, if, during
the application period, the farm
had average COVID-19-related
expenses of at least $500 per month
or average COVID-19-related lost
sales of at least $1,000 per month.
For example, if, during the period
from March 1, 2020 to June 30,
2020, a farm had COVID-19-related
expenses totaling $2,000 or
lost sales totaling $4,000, the farm
would be eligible to apply for relief
funding. The significantly lower
threshold makes agriculture relief
available to smaller farms, while
ensuring it still helps those most in
need of financial assistance.
The Expanded Farm Program
applicants can submit up to
three applications, but without
having to register ahead of time.
If an eligible farm does not submit
an application for the Expanded
Farm Program by the
deadline, it cannot receive relief
funding for any COVID-19-related
expenses and/or lost sales
incurred during the applicable
time period.
The application is now available
for the Expanded Farm Program
for COVID-19-related expenses
and/or lost sales incurred during
the period from March 1, 2020 to
June 30, 2020. Applications must
be submitted by August 31, 2020.

Newburyport – Newburyport
Bank has donated $2,500 as a
Team Sponsor of the Amesbury
Youth Hockey League.
Open to children in the Amesbury
area, the League is a non-profit
organization that through hockey,
strives to develop in its players
the important values of sportsmanship,
discipline and teamwork
– the ultimate goal being the development
of local youth into fine,
well-rounded individuals.
“We’re very proud to continue
to sponsor the fine work of the
Amesbury Youth Hockey League,”
said Lloyd L. Hamm, President
& CEO of the Bank. “Not only
are they a quality, competitive,
community-focused youth sports
program, but they’re also teachers

and mentors – helping our youth
to become confident, engaged individuals.
There is nothing more
important than that.”
The bank has donated $1,000
to the John Greenleaf Whittier
Home Museum. The funds will
be used for general repairs to the
property.
Located on Friend Street in
Amesbury, MA, the Whittier
Home and Museum is a National
Historic Landmark – the family
home where John Greenleaf Whittier
lived from 1836 until his death
in 1892, and where he wrote much
of his famous prose and poetry.
“Whittier was more than a
poet,” said Lloyd L. Hamm, President
& CEO of the Bank. “Growing
up in a Quaker family, he became
an important American force
by bringing his compassion and
strong sense of social responsibility
to the problems of his day, setting
an example for those to come, even
to this day. His home and museum
serve as the center for his good
work – something we are always
proud to support.”
The Bank has continued its longstanding
support of the Strawbery
Banke Museum with a donation of
$1,500.
The Museum offers a unique
experience to visitors, providing
over 300 years of American history
in an authentic 10-acre outdoor
museum in the heart of downtown
Portsmouth, NH. Visitors
can enjoy eight different heritage
gardens, thirty-two historic buildings
and even presentations from
costumed role players who provide
stories and details about the area’s
rich history.
“The Strawbery Banke Museum
is a testament to the evolution
of community,” stated
Lloyd L. Hamm, President &
CEO of Newburyport Bank.
“Not only does it present the
determination and hard work
of those living three hundred
years ago, but it also serves as a
template for us today – learning
from the past to forge a stronger
future. That alone is worthy of
our support.”

Town of
Georgetown
Reminds Residents
of Health
Guidelines to
Prevent the Spread
of COVID-19
GEORGETOWN — Health
Agent Deb Rogers and Police Chief
and Emergency Management Director
Donald Cudmoreo remind
residents of health guidelines recommended
by the Massachusetts
Department of Health (DPH) and
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) following a
recent uptick in COVID-19 cases
in town.
Town officials are urging residents
to continue engaging in
public health practices in order to
further reduce the spread of the
virus in town, including social distancing,
wearing a cloth face covering
and frequent hand washing.
Residents are also reminded of the
availability of free testing through
the state's Stop the Spread testing
initiative.
"We encourage Georgetown
residents to enjoy the outdoors

and take advantage of the summer
weather while it lasts, but
in doing so they should remain
mindful of the need to protect
their health and the health of
those around them by renewing
their commitment to adhering
to public health guidelines," said
Rogers.
In addition, Gov. Charlie Baker
announced last week new,
stricter statewide rules for public
and private gatherings and
targeted community guidance.
These rules reduce the limit on
outdoor gatherings from 100 to
50 people statewide, while the
indoor gatherings limit remains
at 25 people. These limits apply
to all types of gatherings, on both
public and private property. Face
coverings should be worn during
gatherings.
Visitors are also reminded that
parking at American Legion Park is
restricted to residents only. Social
distancing measures should still be
practiced, and all sports/recreation
equipment and toys should be
cleaned regularly.
Face masks or cloth face coverings
are currently required in the
State of Massachusetts in public
when social distancing is not
feasible in order to prevent the
spread of COVID-19. Anyone in
public unable to distance themselves
at least six feet away from
others must wear a face covering.
The Governor’s statewide order
requiring face masks or cloth face
coverings to be worn applies to
both indoor and outdoor public
spaces.
Those under the age of 2 or with
certain health conditions identified
by the DPH are exempt from
the statewide order. However,
those with pre-existing conditions
should be practice extreme caution,
as certain conditions present
an increased risk of severe illness or
death caused by COVID-19.
Masks should not be worn by
young children under the age of
2, persons with difficulty breathing,
or those who are unconscious,
incapacitated or otherwise unable
to remove the mask without assistance.

"The use of face masks in public
spaces is just another step one can
take towards slowing the spread
of COVID-19 in our community,"
Chief Cudmore said. "Wash
your hands, keep your social circle
small, and above all stay home if
you are feeling unwell."
Residents should continue to
follow recommendations made by
the DPH and the CDC:
• Wash your hands often with
soap and water for at least 20 seconds,
including under your fingernails.
Alcohol-based hand sanitizer
(at least 60% alcohol content) can
be used when soap and water are
not available.
• Keep your hands away from
your face.
• Cover your nose and mouth
when sneezing and coughing with
a tissue and discard it immediately.
Cough into the sleeve over your
elbow instead of your hand. Wash
your hands often when coughing
and sneezing.
• Everyone should continue to
monitor their health daily, which
includes watching for symptoms
including cough, shortness of
breath, and fever.If you feel ill
or are exhibiting symptoms, stay
home.
• If symptoms develop,
take your temperature. Wait to do
so until 30 minutes after exercising
or taking medications that could
lower your temperature.
