What can you do to fight
climate change?
By Stewart Lytle, Reporter
Wednesday, November 18, 2020 Vol. 16, No. 56
REGIONAL – Most discussions about
Climate Change and Global Warning involve
huge, expensive projects like windmill
and solar farms, quelling raging fires
in California and the Amazon, or negotiating
with China and Europe on pollution
emissions.
But what can one person do now to
change the direction of the world’s environmental
challenges?
Storm Surge, a North Shore climate
change monitoring organization, asked
that question of Bob Uhlig, a Newburyport
resident and landscape architect, who is
an expert on Green Infrastructure.
At 7 p.m. on Nov. 19, Uhlig is scheduled
to give his answer, telling the audience via
Zoom how individuals and local communities
can fight climate change on smaller,
more affordable scales.
The program is entitled: Climate Change
and the Benefits of Green Infrastructure. It
will explore how low-impact design techniques
like rain gardens, green roofs, permeable
surfaces and vegetated swales contribute
not just to beautiful landscaping,
but also to flood protection, improved water
quality and creating green spaces.
An example of green infrastructure locally
is at Cushing Park in Newburyport
where a rain garden collects runoff water
from the parking lot and thus reduces the
amount of pollution in the water before it
is dumped into the city’s collection system.
Storm water runoff is considered one of
the largest sources of pollution in rivers and
streams.
Another example can be found at the
new Hillside Center for Sustainable Living,
now under construction near the Rte. 1
Rotary. It will feature permeable pavement,
rain gardens and rainwater collection systems
to help mitigate carbon emissions,
while improving landscape design.
Uhlig, a member of the American Society
of Landscape Architects Council of Fellows,
has won awards for his plaza redesign
at the Government Center MBTA Station,
the new Hancock Adams Common in
Quincy and the Senator Joseph Finnegan
Park at Port Norfolk in Dorchester.
He is an active volunteer in Newburyport,
serving on the board of the parks
commission, the community preservation
committee and was the last chair of the
Newburyport Redevelopment Authority.

Bicycle riding
grows in the pandemic
By Stewart Lytle, Reporter
NEWBURYPORT— The number of
bicyclists on the streets and trails seems
to have grown significantly during the
Covid-19 Pandemic.
“You can’t go to clubs. Riding and family
time are about all that’s left,” said Tom
Reinke, the general manager of Riverside
Cycle in the Tannery.
Riverside’s sales have skyrocketed so
much that Rinke cannot keep bicycles in
stock. The shop has a backlog of 500 to
600 bikes, and the estimate from the manufacturers
was that they would meet the
demand by April.
“Now, they are saying it will be June,”
Reinke said.
The shortage, which stems from the
early days of the pandemic, when manufacturing
ground to a stop, “is a total
nuisance,” Reinke said. “It’s insane. Everybody
wants bikes, and I haven’t got
bikes to sell them.”
Actually, Riverside, the only bike shop
in the immediate area, which has been selling
bicycles for 21 years, has only 13 or 14
bikes to sell at the $500 to $800 range. It
has more in the $3,000 price range.
“And those are selling,” Reinke said.
“People are dragging old bikes out of
their basements and asking us if we can
fix them.”
Last spring, nationwide sales of bicycles,
equipment and repair services nearly
doubled compared with the same period
the previous year, according to the N.P.D.
Group, a market research company. Sales
of commuter and fitness bikes in March
increased 66 percent, leisure bikes jumped
121 percent, children’s bikes went up 59
percent and electric bikes rose 85 percent.
With more bikes on the road, the Livable
Tom Reinke at Riverside Cycle.
Streets organization sent out a community
survey, asking who is riding bicycles, where
they are riding and where are they parking
their bikes.
Formed in 2018, Livable Streets is a
group of residents interested in improving
and enhancing the city's network of streets,
sidewalks and paths so that they are safe
and convenient.
“We've had a great response to our survey
of bicycle parking needs in Newburyport,”
wrote Rick Trainor with Livable Streets.
The survey was adopted by the Newburyport
schools, which included it in its newsletter.
Between Sept. 23 and Oct. 11, the organization
received 246 responses to the survey.
“We got a ton in during the first few
days. People were really excited.”
Trainor and his team are preparing a full
report on the needs of the cycling public
for Mayor Donna Holaday and the community
at its December meeting. He hopes
it will become a part of a strategic plan for
cycling that will identify priorities for cyclists
and sources of potential funding to
buy much-needed bike racks.

What can you do to
fight climate change?
Climate Change, from page 1
keep water cleaner, conserve the
ecosystem and provide a wide
array of benefits to people and
wildlife.
It is applied on different scales,
from the house or building level
to the broader landscape. On
the local level, green infrastructure
practices might be planting
trees and building tree boxes and
employing systems that harvest
rainwater. On a larger, community
scale, green infrastructure
preserves forests, flood plains and
wetlands.
Traditional infrastructure is
proving to be inadequate to
handle the increased floods and
droughts caused by global warming.
A new approach is needed,
experts and advocates say, to
protect public health, safety and
quality of life.
Green infrastructure also helps
the economy, according to supporters.
It creates local jobs, improves
community health and
safety, enhances recreation and
nurtures wildlife.
Pleased to be your
local meat shop.
Experts also advocate that an individual
might consider doing one
or more of the following to fight
climate change:
- invest in clean and renewable
energy projects.
- use less energy at home.
- consider converting your
house to renewable energy.
- drive an electric car.
- walk more.
- think before you buy to reduce
waste.
And keep informed. Storm
Surge’s monthly programs provide
information on climate change
and sea level rise.
Storm Surge exists to encourage
and support communities in
preparing for the impacts of sea
level rise, extreme weather and
other effects of long-term climate
change.
The program on green infrastructure
will be available through
a Zoom link that can be found on
the Storm Surge website. stormsurge.org.

Bicycle riding
grows in the pandemic
In the Livable Streets survey,
about 40 percent of the respondents
live in the North End, 20
percent in the South End, 14 percent
downtown and 13 percent in
the West End.
Nearly all of the respondents
said they cycle for recreation, but
almost 40 percent ride their bikes
to shopping, about 20 percent
bike to school, 13 percent to visit
the doctor and other services and
12 percent commute to work on
their bicycle.
Nearly 60 percent of the respondents
said they cycle daily or several
times a week. The most frequent
cyclists are under 18. Almost 100
percent of the under 18 respondents
cycle several times a week.
In general, respondents over 40
years old cycle more frequently
than younger adults.
Parking for bicycles was a major
issue. The places downtown
with the greatest need for more
bicycle parking are the Central
Waterfront and Market Landing
Park, Market Square, the Tannery,
State Street and the library.
Trainor said the lack of bike
racks downtown force riders to
chain their bikes to light poles.
At the library, the bike racks
were moved from the front of the
building to the back. As a result,
riders chain their bikes to the
fence, he said.
Outside downtown, the greatest
needs for additional bike
parking, according to the survey,
are at the middle and high
school, the Market Basket shopping
center, the Pond Street CVS
and the MBTA Commuter Rail
station.
There is a need for more bike
racks in parks including Cashman
Park, Maudslay State Park, Atkinson
Common, Plum Island Point
and Moseley Woods, the survey
said.
Those responding to the survey
also questioned when the
city would replace the bike lanes
on High Street. The restriping,
Trainor said, has been delayed by
litigation between the city and the
striping contractor.
When the striping was poorly
done, the stripes were removed
and have not been replaced.
Brighter smiles ...
Time For A New Approach
By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD
Do you have any problems with
dental decay (cavities), gum recession,
and/or dental erosion (the
chemical breakdown of tooth structure)?
These dental issues are complicated
multifactorial diseases of epidemic
levels affecting both children
and adults. A healthy mouth sometimes
requires more than brushing,
flossing, and “fillings”. With current
scientific evidence and new technologies,
patients and practitioners need
to begin to look at these problems
not just from a drilling and filling
approach, but also from a medical
(preventive/therapeutic) approach.
There are over 19,000 different
bacteria that have been found in
mouths and every person has about
1,000 different types. Not all of them
cause decay, but many of them have
also been found to grow on artery
walls. The medical/dental systemic
connection is real and we must pay
more attention to it.
Why the increase in decay? Most of
it has to do with dietary trends. We
snack more, eat more sugar/carbs,
drink more soda, have more gastric
reflux, take more mouth-drying
medications, etc. Dental caries (decay)
is a pH specific disease. The right
bacteria, plus sugar, create acid which
breaks down the enamel of the teeth.
Add an already acidic environment
and it is even worse. In most cases
it is a preventable disease. And don’t
think that just because you don’t eat
“sugar” that you are safe. If you are
getting decay, something is causing
it. The problem is that changing behavior
can be very hard to do.
It is time for the dental professional
to take a different approach
when treating this disease. More focus
needs to be shifted to prevention
of decay rather just treating it. Filling
teeth is treating the result of the
disease, but does nothing to prevent
it. The dentist needs to take a more
active role in assessing individual’s
risk factors. In the dental world this
is referred to as CAMBRA, which
stands for Caries Management By
Risk Assessment.
Based on assessing an individual’s
risk factors, such as quality of home
care, quality of salivary flow, medication
issues, and dietary issues, a
caries-preventive strategy can be
established. There are many new
products on the horizon to help
combat and virtually eliminate this
disease. However, dentists must take
some responsibility and be open to
a different management of this disease.
They must also be able to motivate
people to change habits, which
can be challenging. The bottom line
is that if you want to be decay-free,
you can be.
For those at higher risk, there are
some great products currently available
from a company called Carifree.
Everything from new toothpastes
and gels with ions in them to rebuild
tooth structure, sprays to neutralize
pH, and probiotics are on their way.
Right now you can use things like
the sweetener replacement Xylitol,
which by itself is cavity-fighting, but
also works synergistically with fluoride.
Prescription level toothpastes
are also available, and there is strong
research for the topical application
of fluoride varnish, the same stuff
the kids get, for adults.
The evidence is very clear – this is a
preventable disease. Next time you go
to the dentist and find out you have
a new cavity, stop blaming the dentist
or yourself, and ask to get a specific
protocol for prevention of this disease,
based on your specific risk factors. You
may also want to mention Carifree
products to your dentist in case they
have not heard of this company.
Dr. St. Clair maintains a private
dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport
dedicated to health-centered
family dentistry. If there are certain

Ipswich Police
Officers Receive
Commendations
for Helping to Save
Critically Injured
Man in Boating
Crash
IPSWICH — Two Ipswich Police
Officers were recently recognized for
going above and beyond the call of
duty after an Ipswich man was seriously
injured in a boating incident
this summer.
On Thursday, Nov. 5, Lt. Jonathan
Hubbard and Officer Brian
Murphy were awarded letters of
commendation from Sen. Bruce
Tarr on behalf of the Massachusetts
State Senate and Rep. Brad Hill on
behalf of the Massachusetts House
of Representatives during a private,
socially-distanced ceremony. The
two were honored for their life saving
efforts after responding to a serious
boating crash on July 4.
The pair were on Harbor Patrol
that day when they received a distress
call for an out-of-control boat
and people in the water in the area
of the third creek mooring field.
Four occupants in the boat had fallen
off the vessel when it took a turn
and the boat was circling around
the area, unmanned. The operator
of the boat, a 19-year-old Ipswich
man, was run over by the boat and
suffered serious, life-threatening injuries.
A nearby boater stopped to help
and pulled the injured man from the
water until Lt. Hubbard and Officer
Murphy arrived, which was less
than two minutes after the initial
call came in. The victim was transferred
to the Ipswich Police boat,
where Officer Murphy began performing
life saving treatments to the
man while Lt. Hubbard brought the
Ipswich Police boat to the Ipswich
Bay Yacht Club for further aid. The
patient was transferred to an ambulance
before being flown by medical
helicopter to Lahey Hospital and
Medical Center in Burlington. No
one else was injured in the incident.
“Thank you to Sen. Tarr and
Rep. Hill for recognizing the
quick, heroic actions of these two
officers, which helped the victim
survive what could have been fatal
injuries,” Chief Nikas said.
“The two officers showed great
professionalism and dedication
for the safety of our residents,
and I could not be prouder to recognize
them for their exceptional
work and to have them serve as
members of the Ipswich Police
Department.”
Lt. Hubbard and Officer Murphy
were also given lifesaving
medals by the Ipswich police Department
and received letters of
commendation from the Board
of Selectmen at the Special Town
Meeting in October.

NORTH WOODSTOCK, NH,
— A winter wonderland in New
Hampshire will return this season
with new features designed with
safety in mind. Ice Castles will offer
New England families the same fun
experience this year with ice slides,
crawl spaces, caves, and fountains
illuminated at night, but the design
will be enhanced and slightly different.
"We are thrilled to welcome families
back to Ice Castles this winter,"
CEO Kyle Standifird said, "The
safety of our guests and staff has always
been our top priority, and the
new features and guidelines we have
in place this season are designed to
create a safe and magical environment
for everyone."
Ice Castles will operate at a reduced
capacity this season to promote
social distancing. All tunnels
and crawl spaces will be clearly
marked as one-way features to limit
face-to-face exposure with other
guests. In accordance with New
Hampshire mandates, all staff and
guests will be required to wear a
mask or face covering. Additionally,
Ice Castles in New Hampshire will
be introducing new features including
a quarter mile-long winter light
walk in the forest and a sledding hill
to enhance the experience while encouraging
physical distance among
guests.
If weather permits, ice artisans
will begin growing and harvesting
up to 10,000 icicles each day beginning
in late-November to construct
the frozen attraction. The winter
playground is projected to open in
early January 2021.

Amesbury location
AMESBURY - Originally from
Dedham, Dr. Kerry Goyette knew
what she was looking for when she
was house-hunting, falling in-love
with what Amesbury had to offer.
"Amesbury had everything I
wanted when I was looking to buy
a home," said Goyette.
What surprised her was just how
much she clicked with the community,
deciding it wouldn’t just be a
perfect place to go home to after
work; but rather an equally good
place to put down professional roots.
"I love that the people of Amesbury
live their values when it comes
to supporting local," explained
Goyette. "You can feel the energy
behind people and businesses supporting
one another, and I wanted
to be a part of that."
Goyette, a Chiropractor working
out of an office in Manchester, New
Hampshire, decided Market Square
would be the perfect home as she set
up her own office. Initially looking
at a second-floor location within 5
Market Square, she was immediately

attracted to a suddenly-available spot
right in the Amesbury Millyard.
Goyette’s focus and technique has
attracted patients with symptoms
associated with a variety of issues,
including those with autoimmune
dysfunctions, digestive issues, sleep
problems, asthma, vertigo, anxiety/
depression and even ADHD, to
name a few.
"For many of these people,
they’ve tried to address their symptoms
in other ways without success.
I get great results because I focus on
balancing the six functional systems
of the body to restore the body to
its natural default state of health.
Symptoms are physical manifestations
of imbalances in the brain. I
work with my patients to identify
those imbalances, and then stimulate
the appropriate sections of the
spinal cord, which acts as a recharge
and leads to healing and recovery."
The Baker-Polito
Administration
announced a series
of targeted measures
to disrupt trend of
new COVID-19 cases
and hospitalizations.
The Baker-Polito Administration
announced a series of targeted
measures to disrupt the increasing
trend of new COVID-19
cases and hospitalizations.
Governor Charlie Baker announced
these changes at a time
where public health data has indicated
that cases are rising, with cases
up by 278% and hospitalizations up
by 145% since Labor Day. These
measures are meant to disrupt rising
trends now, so the Commonwealth
can keep the economy and schools
open for residents and to prevent
the need to roll back to Phase I or
Phase II of the reopening plan.
All orders and advisories will be
effective Friday, November 6th.
New Orders & Advisories:
Stay At Home Advisory: The Administration
issued a revised Stay At
Home Advisory to ensure residents
avoid unnecessary activities that can
lead to increased COVID-19 transmission.
The revised Stay At Home
Advisory instructs residents to stay
home between 10 PM and 5 AM.
The Advisory allows for activities
such as going to work, running
critical errands to get groceries and
address health needs, and taking a
walk.
Early Closure of Businesses and
Activities: Governor Baker issued
a new executive order that requires
the early closure of certain businesses
and activities each night at 9:30
PM. The 9:30 PM closure requirement
is aligned with the Stay At
Home Advisory and together the
two new initiatives are designed to
further limit activities that could
lead to COVID-19 transmission.
Effective November 6, the following
businesses and activities must
close to the public each day between
the hours of 9:30 PM and 5:00 AM.
• Restaurants (in-person dining
must cease at 9:30 PM, although
takeout and delivery may continue
for food and non-alcoholic beverages,
but not alcohol)
• Liquor stores and other retail establishments
that sell alcohol must
cease alcohol sales at 9:30 PM (but
may continue to sell other products)
• Adult-use marijuana sales must
cease at 9:30 PM (not including
medical marijuana)
• Indoor & outdoor events
• Theaters/movie theaters (including
drive-in movie theaters),
and performance venues (indoor
and outdoor)
• Youth and adult amateur sports
activities
• Golf facilities
• Recreational boating and boating
businesses
• Outdoor recreational experiences
• Casinos and horse tracks/simulcast
facilities
• Driving and flight schools
• Zoos, botanical gardens, wildlife
reserves, nature centers
• Close contact personal services
(such as hair and nail salons)
• Gyms, Fitness Centers and
Health Clubs
• Indoor and outdoor pools
• Museums/cultural & historical
facilities/guided tours
Face Covering Order: Governor
Baker also signed an updated order
related to face-coverings. The
revised order requires all persons
to wear face-coverings in all public
places, even where they are able to
maintain 6 feet of distance from
others. The revised order still allows
for an exception for residents who
cannot wear a face-covering due to
a medical or disabling condition,
but it allows employers to require
employees to provide proof of such
a condition. It also allows schools to
require that students participating
in in-person learning provide proof
of such a medical or disabling condition.
Gatherings Order: Governor
Baker also signed an updated order
restricting gatherings. The new
gatherings order reduces the gathering
size limit for gatherings at private
residences: indoor gatherings at
private residences are limited to 10
people and outdoor gatherings at
private residences are limited to 25
people. The limit on gatherings held
in public spaces and at event venues
(e.g. wedding venues) remains the
same. The new order also requires
that all gatherings (regardless of size
or location) must end and disperse
by 9:30 PM.
The new gatherings order also requires
that organizers of gatherings
report known positive COVID-19
cases to the local health department
in that community and requires organizers
to cooperate with contact
tracing. The gatherings order authorizes
continued enforcement by
local health and police departments
and specifies that fines for violating
the gathering order will be $500 for
each person above the limit at a particular
gathering

Sell During Holidays?
By John McCarthy, Rowley Realty
I know you don’t want to hear
it but the Holiday season is right
around the corner. If you are you
are considering selling your home
during the holidays you have
probably thought this isn’t a great
time to sell. You had tried to get
your home ready for the spring or
even fall market but because you
couldn’t find a roofer, plumber or
just couldn’t get around to making
things perfect you are now looking
at November or December entry
into the market. Well, all is not
lost! The good news is that we are
still in a seller’s market and inventory
is very low! Homes are still
selling with multiple offers well
over the asking price. Don’t beat
yourself up because you couldn’t
get the house ready, it may even
work to your advantage to sell
during the holidays. Here are a
few reasons why:
Interest Rates
Do you really know what interest
rates are going to be in the
Commercial & Residential
Spring? If they go up, a buyer’s
purchasing power goes down.
Interest rates are at historic lows,
hopefully they will be the same in
the spring but you never know.
Motivation
When I first started 15+ years
ago, I complained that a buyer
wanted to see a home we listed
in sub zero weather. My coworker
said this is a good buyer, who
wouldn’t be “just looking” in this
weather. Sure enough this buyer
who came out in awful weather
went ahead and bought the home.
There are plenty of buyers that
are looking online, following the
real estate market every day looking
for the perfect home, and that
home just might be yours. The
bottom line is this; buyers that
come out during holidays are usually
seriously motivated.
Your Home Looks Great
A home that is decorated for
the holidays usually looks fantastic.
Most buyers think of homes
on an emotional basis. When
they see one that is warm, welcoming
and inviting it may stir
them into making an offer.
It’s NOT Spring!
While it is true that in the
spring you may have more buyers,
during the holidays you have
less competition for those buyers.
Don’t overlook the fact that right
now it is a seller’s market. Just
like predicting what will happen
with interest rates we can’t predict
what the market will be like
in the spring.
Time Off to Look
Many people take time off
during the holidays and have
more free time to look at homes.
This goes for internet searches
as well. Make sure your home is
marketed correctly and that it
is on all the most traveled web
sites. It is extremely important
in today’s world since most
home searches begin on the internet.
Taxes
If you are a buyer there are
possible deductions to be had if
you close by December 31, including
points and mortgage interest.
Sellers may also realize a
tax break by closing by the end
of the year.
You Are In Charge
If you refuse a showing request
in the spring, even if your reasoning
is valid, most buyers will
assume you don’t want to sell.
However, if you need to take your
home off the market for a few days
during the holidays most buyers
will understand and accommodate
you.
Selling during the holidays
can be difficult without a doubt.
However if you see a home you
like, need or want to sell, with low
inventory, low interest rates and a
surplus of buyers there is no reason
to think you won’t get your
home sold and make it a Happy
Holiday season!
