Newbury Has Top Golf Range, Top Pro

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter

NEWBURY – The Newbury Golf Center and Ice

Cream, which opened in August, got wonderful news on

New Year’s Day.

The Newbury golf center was named a top 50 stand-alone

golf range out of more than 2,000 ranges in the country by

the Golf Range Assn. of America (GRAA). And Erik Sorensen,

the center’s owner, was ranked one of the country’s

best 100 golf professionals.

“That’s a nice start for the year,” Sorensen said.

This week, Sorensen will meet again with the town’s Planning

Board to ask permission to turn on lights on poles

around the facility. That will allow late afternoon and night

practice. The planning board meeting is scheduled by

Zoom for 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 12.

Maybe its because winter has not been that cold yet or

because a third of the center’s 30 driving range mats are

covered and heated, Sorensen said the center at 131 Scotland

Rd. has seen a “steady” flow of golfers at the range. In

the fall, the center drew about 500 golfers a day.

On the first Saturday of the New Year, the day the Greater

Newburyport Chamber of Commerce chose to cut the

opening ribbon on the popular range, all of the covered

mats in the heated enclosure were filled, while a handful of

golfers practiced their chip shots on the 7,500-square-foot

chipping green.

At its teaching clinics this winter, more than 100 juniors

and 70 women are participating. Sorensen recently held a

women’s “fitting session,” where players can try out and select

their golf clubs. The session was oversubscribed.

This summer, when warmer weather brings out even

more golfers, 90 percent of the memberships are sold. Winter

memberships are still available.

The GRAA staff toured the Newbury range last fall in advance

of naming the new facility one of the top ranges in

Golf, page 13

Mello’s 500-Ton

Trash Station

Back on the Table

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter

GEORGETOWN – Starting

Wednesday night, the fight is

on again over G. Mello Disposal

Corp.’s proposal to build a mega

transfer station on Carleton Drive

that could handle 500 tons of

trash a day.

The town’s Planning Board will

hold a remote public hearing to

renew consideration of the controversial

proposal. Deliberations

were suspended at the onset of the

Covid-19 pandemic. The meeting

is set for 7:15 p.m. on Jan. 12.

Mello, which collects household

and business trash in several North

Shore communities, operates a 50-

ton trash transfer station on East

Main Street in Georgetown.

Opponents of the larger transfer

station, organized as Residents for

50 Tons, have mounted a campaign,

including yard signs and

social media, to stop the Mello

proposal.

Town Planner John Cashell

wrote in an email last week that

the planning board will have Mello

re-present its proposal, including

its traffic studies. Board members

can ask questions, but Cashell

doubts there will be time at the

meeting this week to hear from the

public.

“At next Wed. night’s meeting

the Planning Board will open the

virtual public hearing; the applicant

will summarize the onsite

review of the project that has occurred

to date, and then begin

where the Site Plan Review of this

project (proposed 500 ton per

day transfer station) was (when)

postponed because of the onset of

the Covid-19 Pandemic,” Cashell

wrote.

“That is, the applicant will present

the findings of their traffic report,

go over the Planning Board’s

consultant engineer’s peer review

of the applicant’s traffic report, followed

by the board conducting a

Q & A session with the applicant’s

representatives,” Cashell wrote.

The board at this meeting will

need to vote to extend for a few

months the review period for the

proposal, which currently ends

Jan. 27.

“If time permits next Wed.

night, the board may allow for

public participation,” Cashell

wrote. “However, depending on

the length of time it takes to get

Mello, page 3

January 13, 2021 www.TheTownCommon.com

Page 3

Mello, from page 2

through the above-described presentation

and Q & A session, the

board may postpone public input

until the next scheduled hearing

date, which will not be decided

until Wed. night.”

Opponents have focused on

the traffic impact of the proposed

station. They point out that Carleton

Drive is a narrow road which

intersects with the two-lane state

highway just west of Interstate 95.

Residents for 50 Tons questions

the validity of the study performed

by Mello’s traffic consultants,

which maintains that additional

truck traffic to the station will not

impact the flow of traffic in and

out of Georgetown.

Opponents disagree, saying it is

impossible for 18-wheel trucks to

exit Carleton Road without stopping

traffic on the highway. The

group is also concerned that trucks

entering Carleton Drive will back

up onto state highway 133, the

main route to Georgetown.

They also question why a town

with a population of 8,700 needs

a 500-ton transfer station. The

assumption is that Mello plans

to use the large facility to collect

trash throughout the region, sort

and transport trash from businesses,

construction sites and residences

to disposal facilities elsewhere.

Last year, the Residents for 50

Tons, won a victory at Town Meeting

that limited future transfer stations

to 50 tons. That new bylaw is

currently awaiting approval by the

state attorney general.

However, the bylaw will not stop

the planning board from approving

the Mello proposal because the

town was already considering the

proposal for a larger facility.

Also, since the planning board

meetings were suspended, George

Comiskey was appointed to the

board as a new member. Because

he was not a board member for

two public hearings last year, he

may not be allowed to participate.

Mello is asking for a site plan

review, which requires only a majority

of the sitting quorum to approve

the project, Cashell wrote.

If this application were to be a

Special Permit, it would require a

super majority of the board – four

out of five members — to approve

the proposal.

Lips Together – Teeth Apart

BECKINGHAM CHIROPRACTIC

OFFICE

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD

There are many people who suffer

with pain involving some area

of the head. Toothaches can cause

pain, but these are mostly avoidable

with proper diet, home care

and regular visits to your dentist.

Teeth can also play an indirect role

in facial/head pain.

Orofacial pain includes a number

of clinical problems involving

the chewing (masticatory) muscles

and/or temporomandibular joints

(TMJs). Problems can include

TMJ discomfort involving muscle

spasms in the head, neck, shoulders

and/or jaw, migraines or other types

of tension headaches, pain with the

teeth, face or jaw; and can even play

a role in anxiety and/or depression.

You swallow approximately

2,000 times per day, which causes

the upper and lower teeth to

come together and push against

the skull. People who have an unstable

bite, missing teeth, or poorly

aligned teeth can have trouble because

the muscles work harder to

bring the teeth together, causing

strain. People with seemingly good

teeth/bite are also susceptible. Pain

can also be caused by clenching

or grinding teeth, trauma to the

head and neck, or poor ergonomics.

Temporomandibular disorders

(TMD) affect more than 10 million

Americans. Your TMJ’s are

located where the skull connects

your lower jaw to the muscles on

the sides of your head and face

controlling the joint’s movements.

Women between the ages of 20

and 40 are often more frequent

sufferers because of the added estrogen

in their bodies.

One in eight Americans suffers

from headaches. Experts estimate

that 80 percent of all headaches

are caused by muscle tension,

which may be related to the bite.

Clenching the jaw muscles creates

tension in the muscles that close

the jaw, the main one of which is

the temporalis muscle. Signs that

may indicate a headache from

dental origin include: pain behind

the eyes, sore jaw muscles

or “tired” muscles upon awaking,

teeth grinding, clicking or popping

of the jaw joints, head and/

or scalp is painful to the touch,

earaches or ringing, neck and/or

shoulder pain, and dizziness. Keep

in mind that in a 24-hour period

of time, your teeth should only

touch 10 minutes total. If you

clench or grind your teeth, your

teeth are touching much more

than that and I can promise you

that something in the masticatory

system is being affected.

Sleep disorders can also play a

role. I am not just talking about

sleep apnea. There are a wide range

of sleep disorders and some of

them will cause people to clench

and/or grind as a defense mechanism

of the body to achieve proper

air flow.

Dentists have a variety of ways

to help relieve orofacial symptoms.

One way to treat these problems

is called an orthotic, or splint,

that is worn over the teeth to help

stabilize the bite; kind of like an

orthotic some wear in their shoes

for alignment and balance when

standing. Permanent correction

may require equilibration (reshaping

teeth), prosthetic dentistry

and/ or orthodontics. Many use a

splint on a daily basis to avoid having

these other treatments done.

Orofacial pain can range from

tolerable to debilitating. Maintaining

or correcting your bite ensures

optimal health, and proper care will

help reduce or eliminate orofacial

pain or discomfort. If your dentist

can not help you, ask for a referral.

Most important lesson of the day:

The optimal rest position of the jaw

(minus the 10 minutes the teeth

touch in 24 hours) is lips together,

teeth slightly apart, the tip of the

tongue resting just behind your upper

front teeth, and you should be

breathing through your nose.

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private

dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport

dedicated to health-centered

family dentistry. If there are

Town of Ipswich

Urges Continued

Vigilance as

Community

Remains High

Risk "Red"

Designation

IPSWICH — Director of

Public Health Colleen Fermon

is urging residents to remain

vigilant against the spread of

COVID-19 as the community

remains at a high risk designation

for the disease.

According to public health

data released on Thursday, Jan.

7, the Town's designation remains

at "red" indicating a "high

risk" of spread in the community.

The average daily incidence

rate for the Town of Ipswich is

45.3 per 100,000 residents, up

from 44.2 last week.

There are currently 61 active

cases of COVID-19 in the community,

and there have been

a total of 418 cases in Ipswich

since the start of the pandemic.

Over the past two weeks, 5.7%

of all tests for COVID-19 have

returned positive in Ipswich.

"It's imperative that residents

avoid holding or attending indoor

social gatherings as we

work to reduce the spread," Public

Health Director Fermon said.

"We knew following the holidays

there could be a significant

rise in cases, and unfortunately

we are seeing that come to fruition.

Please, take care to protect

yourself, your household and our

community from this disease."

Residents are strongly encouraged

to avoid high risk activities,

especially indoor social gatherings,

and all Massachusetts residents

are under orders from the

Governor to wear masks at all

times while in public.

Additional COVID-19 prevention

tips from the Massachusetts

Department of Public Health include:

• Remember that an infected

individual can spread

COVID-19 before they have

symptoms, which is why social

distancing, maintaining a minimum

of 6 feet from others, is

critical.

• Those who must go out are

urged to:

• Avoid gathering in

groups

• Maintain six feet from

people outside your household

• Do not shake hands

or hug

• Wash your hands often

• Those who are at a high risk

for COVID-19, including those

over the age of 65 and with underlying

health conditions, are

advised to stay home and avoid

non-essential tasks and errands

• Wear a mask in indoor and

outdoor spaces at all times.

• Face coverings should:

• Cover the nose and

mouth

• Fit snugly and comfortably

against the side of the

face

• Be secured with either

ties or ear loops

• Permit breathing

• Be able to be washed

and machine dried without

damage. Face masks should be

washed regularly depending on

the amount of use.

Newburyport

Bank Donates

$2,500 to

Girls Inc. of the

Seacoast Area

Newburyport – As it has done

in past years, Newburyport

Bank has committed to a yearlong

SMART sponsorship of

Girls Inc., of the Seacoast Area

through a $2,500 donation.

Girls Inc. of the Seacoast Area

is an affiliate of Girls Incorporated®,

a national research, education

and direct advocacy organization

that inspires girls to

be strong, smart and bold. The

Seacoast Area group includes the

Massachusetts towns of Amesbury,

Georgetown, Groveland,

Ipswich, Merrimac, Newbury,

Newburyport, Rowley, Salisbury

and West Newbury.

“Our SMART sponsorship

will support Girls Inc. during

this particularly challenging

time of COVID,” stated Lloyd

L. Hamm, President & CEO of

the Bank. “In-person programming

is more difficult now and

the organization has to depend

more on virtual programs. We’re

proud to provide them with the

funds to develop and support

their alternative programs.

Is Buying A

Second Home On

Your 2021 To-Do

List? What To

Consider

Owning a second home can

provide retirees – or even younger

families – a mountain retreat

or a house at the beach for those

family vacations or quick weekend

getaways.

But if buying a second home is

on your list of New Year’s resolutions

for 2021, be sure to consider

all the upsides and downsides

before committing, says Patrick

Rush CEO of Triad Financial

Advisors.

“Many retirees end up regretting

it,” Rush says. “They feel

they are forced to go to that second

home every weekend just

because they spent so much on

it. A vacation property or second

home can certainly provide a lot

of joy, but it rarely works out financially.”

That doesn’t stop people from

buying them, though.

The National Association of

Home Builders estimates that

Americans own about 7.4 million

second homes, which is

about 5.6 percent of the total

housing stock.

“People tend to purchase a second

home either as a rental property

or a vacation home, which

they might also rent for part of

the year,” Rush says. “But unless

you’re in a hot real estate market,

the return on investment usually

isn’t worth the hassle. There

are better ways of growing your

money.”

Rush says a few things to

know about investing in a second

home include:

• Real estate doesn’t automatically

mean easy money. People

mistakenly believe real estate

provides a guaranteed return,

but that’s not always true. Rush

recalls one client who withdrew

all of his retirement money

to build an expensive second

home. The client was certain

the house would pay off, but he

eventually was forced to sell it

for half his investment.

• Consider the overall impact

on your life. Most people don’t

have endless streams of money,

even if they have done well

for themselves financially. So, a

splurge in one area often requires

a sacrifice in another.

• Upkeep can become overwhelming.

People tend to overlook

the ancillary costs that make

from page 6

owning a second home expensive,

Rush says. Take those into consideration

as you make your decision.

“Property taxes, homeowners

association dues, insurance,

and maintenance start to add

up,” he says. “Renting the house

out when you aren’t using it does

provide an income stream, but

managing the property and dealing

with tenants is a hassle. You

can hire a property manager, but

that has its own disadvantages.”

• Renting can work just as

well. While it might feel exhilarating

to own a mountain home

in North Carolina or a Pacific

Ocean beach house another option

is simply to rent a place for

a week or a weekend whenever

you’re in need of a getaway.

The City of

Newburyport,

Police

Department and

Fire Department

hosted

fundraisers to

benefit numerous

causes in recent

months

NEWBURYPORT — Mayor

Donna Holaday, Fire Chief Chris

LeClaire and City Marshal Mark

Murray announced that the City

of Newburyport, Newburyport

Police Department and Newburyport

Fire Department hosted

fundraisers to benefit numerous

causes in recent months.

The Newburyport Police

Department recently raised

$2,300 for Home Base No

Shave. Through the campaign,

members of the department

may forgo facial hair restrictions

during November and

donate or raise money to support

Home Base’s mission to

help veterans and their families

heal from invisible wounds

such as post-traumatic stress

and traumatic brain injuries.

The No Shave fundraiser typically

takes place in the month

of November, but Marshal

Murray allowed officers to keep

their beards through the end of

December if they donated to

the Salvation Army. That effort

resulted in $750 being donated

by 15 members of the department.

To help local families during

the holiday season, Newburyport

Youth Services, as well as

Newburyport Police and Fire

worked with members of the

community to collect donations

to fill a variety of needs.

The Newburyport Police

Department held its 15th annual

Fill-a-Cruiser food drive,

through which it collected over

$7,000 in food, cash and gift

card donations to benefit the

Salvation Army in Newburyport's

food pantry.

The Newburyport Fire Department

collected approximately

hundreds of new, unwrapped toys

for Toys For Tots, a U.S. Marine

Corps program that has collected

toys for children in need every

holiday season since 1947.

In addition, Newburyport

Youth Services and the YWCA

of Greater Newburyport's Family

to Family Holiday Program

collected donated toys, gift cards

for essential items, clothing,

computers, bicycles and more

that went directly to 300 greater

Newburyport families this holiday

season.

Families were asked to identify

a wish and a need for everyone

in their household this

holiday season, and the Family

to Family Holiday Program

was then able to make requests

like driving lessons, new glasses,

dental work, school pictures,

beds and more a reality

for those families. In all, the

program helped 300 families

including 616 children and

463 adults. An additional 82

families were able to be included

in 2020 compared to

2019, and 500 people volunteered

as "elves" to support the

program — an increase of 171

over 2019.

"Even amid the difficulty of

an ongoing pandemic, members

of the Newburyport community

stepped up to support those in

need this holiday season," Mayor

Holaday said. "I'm so grateful

for the generosity of all those

who donated, and also for all of

those who worked to facilitate

these programs in the face of unprecedented

challenges."

Essex Tech

Receives

$55,322 Grant to

Support Cultural

Awareness,

Equity and

Inclusion Work

HATHORNE — Essex Tech

was recently awarded a $55,322

grant to help promote cultural

awareness, equity and inclusion

programs at the school.

The $55,322 Hate Crime Prevention

grant was awarded to

the district in December by the

Department of Elementary and

Secondary Education.

The district will be working

in partnership with Dr. Adolph

Brown, an educator, author and

clinical psychologist who speaks

to educators and students about

topics including equity and diversity.

He will work with Essex

Tech students, staff and families,

and assist with professional

development training related to

cultural awareness, equity and

inclusion.

Brown has worked with Essex

Tech in the past, and gave a presentation

to 250 faculty and staff

members in September.

Essex Tech has also hired an

Equity Coach and created an

Equity Team, who will work

with staff to create curriculum

on cultural awareness, equity

and inclusion.

“We are committed to providing

our students with a learning

environment that allows them

to feel safe, included, valued

and recognized,” Superintendent

Heidi Riccio said. “We are

grateful to receive this funding

to help further these efforts and

are excited to continue working

with Dr. Brown, whose presentation

in the fall left a lasting impression

on all of us.”

Essex Tech was one of nine

schools to receive this grant and

in all, $400,000 in funding was allocated

for the program. Districts

could apply for up to $50,000

worth of funding, but could be

awarded more than that amount.

The Hate Crime Prevention

grant helps districts establish

or expand programs designed

to prevent hate crimes and incidents

of bias, such as through

collaborations with local organizations

including local human

rights organizations that have

ongoing local relationships and

expertise in promoting equity,

building positive school climate,

preventing hate crimes and addressing

bias-motivated incidents.

the spread of COVID-19 as the

community remains at high risk

for the disease.

According to public health data

released on Thursday, Jan. 7, the

Town’s designation remains at

“Red,” indicating a “high risk” of

spread in the community. The average

daily incidence rate for the Town

of Georgetown is 42.9 per 100,000

residents, up from 40.5 last week.

There are currently 54 active

cases of COVID-19 in the community.

There have been a total

of 307 cases in Georgetown

since the start of the pandemic.

"Over the course of the holiday

season, we continued to see

a rise in the number of reported

cases through the state and in

our community," Rogers said.

"We all must continue to work

together to prevent any further

spread of the virus in Georgetown.

The most important thing

you can do is stay home as much

as possible, especially if you are

feeling sick for any reason."

Residents are strongly encouraged

to avoid high risk activities,

especially indoor social gatherings,

and all Massachusetts residents

are under orders from the

Governor to wear masks at all

times while in public.

Additionally, Gov. Charlie

Baker announced that temporary

capacity and gathering limits

put in place on Dec. 26 will

be extended to Jan. 24. This includes

restaurants, office spaces,

retail businesses, places of worship

and fitness and health clubs.

Residents are reminded to always

take the following precautions

to prevent further spread of

COVID-19 in the community:

• Remember that an infected

individual can spread

COVID-19 before they have

symptoms, which is why social

distancing — maintaining a

minimum of 6 feet from others

— is critical.

• Those who must go out are

urged to:

• Avoid gathering in

groups

• Maintain 6 feet from

people outside your household

• Do not shake hands

or hug

• Wash your hands often

• Those who are at a high risk

for COVID-19, including those

over the age of 65 and with underlying

health conditions, are

advised to stay home and avoid

non-essential tasks and errands

• Wear a mask in indoor and

outdoor spaces at all times.

• Face coverings should:

• Cover the nose and

mouth

• Fit snugly and comfortably

against the side of the

face

• Be secured with either

ties or ear loops

• Permit breathing

without difficulty

• Be able to be washed

and machine dried without

damage. Face masks should be

washed regularly depending on

Whittier Tech

Students Connect

with Wingate

Residents

Through Pen Pal

Program

HAVERHILL — Whittier

Tech sophomores in the Health

Assisting program are working

to stay connected and learn more

about their community throughout

the pandemic thanks to a

new pen pal program between

the school and a local assisted

living facility.

Shortly after Thanksgiving,

16 Whittier Tech sophomores

began exchanging letters with

the same number of residents at

Wingate Residences at Haverhill.

Health Assisting Instructor

Kim Malynn, who graduated

from Whittier Tech in 2001

and now co-teaches the course

with her former instructor Jane

Moskevitz, came up with the

idea to create the pen pal program

in order to allow students

to safely connect with Wingate

residents during the pandemic.

One major goal of the program

for health assisting students

during their sophomore

year is to learn how to connect

with residents, develop interpersonal

skills and learn to effectively

communicate. Though

this is usually done by having

students meet with Wingate

residents in person, Malynn

sought a creative alternative in

order to protect the health and

safety of students and Wingate

residents.

At first, students wrote general

letters that were shared with

a resident at random, but now,

each student is matched with a

resident who they will continue

to write to and learn more about.

“It has been incredible to

watch the students and residents

connect with each other and

build meaningful relationships

over the last few weeks,” Malynn

said. “During these challenging

times, this helps to provide

some comfort and joy for both

parties. Some have even been

paired with residents who used

from page 10

to work at Whittier Tech, so it

has been fascinating for the students

to learn about this shared

experience.”

The students and residents

write to each other about careers

and passions, as well as memories

and life experiences in order

to connect. Wingate’s Life

Enrichment Director Michelle

Meehan said she has been impressed

with the letters students

have written to residents, showing

great respect, empathy, curiosity

and maturity in order to

create meaningful connections.

Other residents are even attending

the pen pal groups in order

to hear what the letters say.

“The residents understand

how challenging it is to be a

high school student during

COVID-19 – with limited

in-classroom learning, on-line

education, and missing out on

the social aspect of being in

school,” Michelle Meehan, Life

Enrichment Director at Wingate,

said. “Many residents feel

it is our job to share wisdom

and encouragement to the next

generation and since we cannot

have in-person, ‘intergenerational

program’ visits (nor go to

Whittier for our monthly luncheons

in the restaurant – which

we miss dearly) – this would

give us a way to contribute and

connect with students during

a time when they may feel isolated

during their high school

year. Many of our participating

residents were nurses, teachers,

administrators and they also enjoy

learning from the students

as times have certainly changed

from when they were in school.”

The hope is that students and

residents will continue to write

to each other throughout the

school year, and to have students

potentially visit Wingate in the

spring to meet their pen pals for

an outdoor, socially distanced

event.

“I am beyond proud of the

way Kim Malynn and her students

have been able to engage

with community members

through this program,” Superintendent

Maureen Lynch said.

“This program is a true example

of the kind of community

members we aim to help our

students become during their

time at the school. We are lucky

to have such kind, enthusiastic

students as well as supportive

community partners who help

For all its woes, 2020 did at

least give the United States a

normal Valentine’s Day.

It’s 2021 that may cause troubles

for Cupid and his quiver of

arrows.

Slowly but surely, Americans

are being vaccinated for

COVID-19, but the vaccination’s

timeline doesn’t look that

good for Feb. 14, when intimate

dinners at fancy restaurants are

usually the norm.

At this time a year ago, the

pandemic’s impact on the

United States was still relatively

muted, so donning masks

and avoiding crowds wasn’t

yet de rigueur. Valentine’s

Day played out under normal

circumstances, with couples

making dinner reservations,

exchanging cards, and enjoying

romantic time together.

Singles, too, had a normal Valentine’s

Day in 2020, which for

some meant feeling left out as

the holiday played out all around

them.

Here are a few tips for those

singles as Valentine’s Day approaches:

• Treat yourself to something.

Buy chocolates and a teddy bear

for yourself. Or you could go

bigger and buy a pair of shoes

you've been eyeing.

• Know that you may not be

missing out on all that much.

Being single may feel less noticeable

this Valentine’s Day because

there wouldn't be much to do

even if you were coupled up.

• Be aware of the potential

effects of “lockdown loneliness.”

After nearly a year of

limited social activities, plenty

of singles may be inclined

to throw caution (and discretion)

about relationships to the

may be tempted to rush things

Unwritten Rules for Sellers

By John McCarthy, Rowley Realty

If you're trying to sell your

home, you've probably gone

through and scrubbed it, staged it,

decluttered it and maybe even had

a home inspector come through

and evaluate what you need to do

to fix it. However, no matter how

well you have put your home together

for sale, your behavior before

and while buyers are at your

home can lead to whether or not

you receive an offer. How? Here

are some unwritten rules that I

strongly suggest to sellers in advance

of a buyer coming to the

house.

Take your Pets with You

You love your dog. I get it. I love

my dog too. However, when you

come to my house she is thrilled

to see you, doesn’t matter if she

knows you or not, she will jump

all over you and occasionally lose

control of her little bladder. Some

dog lovers think that is cute,

however not everyone shares that

opinion. An extreme example of

why you should remove your pet.

Regardless, you are trying to get a

buyer to buy your home not show

off your dog. Cats should go too,

but indoor cats can stay if you

KNOW they will leave a buyer

alone.

We are trying to sell a home, not

show off your dog or cat. I know

that your pet may not like going

in the car. Take the dog for a walk

or bring the cat to the neighbor’s

house. Oh, and don’t get me started

on chirping/singing birds in

cages.

Hit the Road

I know you want to tell the buyer

all you have done to the home

since you have owned it. I am sure

your dissertation on the improvements

and additions to the home

would be helpful, but sometimes

even the best intentions can leave

buyers wary. I had a seller tell a

buyer that he loved his neighbors;

“They are terrific people, always

home and looking out for us. They

stopped by to tell us the mailbox

was bent last week and yesterday

said our daughter left her bike out

overnight.” When I asked the buyer’s

agent why they didn’t move

forward she said that her buyers

were concerned that the neighbors

would be “in their business all the

time”. Hard to argue with that.

Take a drive, go out to lunch, go

for a walk or hide at the friendly

neighbor’s house. When we are

done with the showing we will call

you and tell you how it went.

Make an Offer

The seller can make an offer as

well. How about offering up some

bottled waters with some ice if it

is a hot day, or some quick snacks

like cookies. Leaving these on the

kitchen counter or island is always

appreciated, and it will stand out

since it isn’t done in every house

while letting the buyer know you

appreciated their visit.

Move it

Getting everything out of the

way can go a long way to getting

a buyer off to a good start. Cars,

trailers, bikes and other items left

around the house or garage can

give the buyer the impression that

you don’t keep your home up. Get

your buyer into a good mood by

the time they enter the house. This

might seem trivial, and maybe it

is, but why take the chance. Put

your best foot forward.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand

Words.

If you are showing your home

this time of year, hopefully you

took pictures in the spring, summer

and fall. You can describe the

backyard and property until you

are blue in the face, but pictures

will show it. While on the topic

of pictures, I am often asked if

the seller should take down family

pictures. I don’t think having a

few pictures of kids or family will

work as a negative, however if you

have dozens scattered throughout

the house it will detract from the

features that you are trying to promote

to a buyer. If you want to

take down all family pictures for

privacy concerns that is certainly

fine as well. Getting rid of all evidence

anyone lives there seems a

bit excessive to me.

Patience is a Virtue

REALTORS® know you want

to know every detail of a buyer’s

visit. We will certainly give you an

impression or comments they may

have made, but sometimes buyers

are closemouthed. The information

may not get to us right away.

It could take a few days before we

hear from the other REALTOR®

or the buyer themselves. That said,

don’t let your REALTOR® off the

hook, and find out what that buyer

said about your home, as it may

be a common reason why people

aren’t buying your home.

Listen to the Professionals

If your REALTOR® has some

suggestions for improvements

that may help sell the home faster,

please listen. What you shouldn’t

do is take anything personally. If

your REALTOR® asks you to remove

a family heirloom, or the

picture of dogs playing poker over

the fireplace AND in the kitchen,

it is because we are trying to

get the house in the best possible

condition for sale, NOT because

we dislike dogs or poker. In other

words, don’t shoot the messenger.

Your REALTOR® is here to help

by suggesting changes or fixes to

your home or how you present

your home. Take nothing personally,

ask questions and be ready

for the unexpected. If you are, in

this seller’s market you may find a

large number of offers as the most

unexpected part of the sale.

If you have any questions about

this article, real estate in general or

are looking to buy or sell a home

the country. The staff also reviewed

its teaching programs, clinics and

schools.

Sorensen, the founder and

president of the golf center, told

chamber of commerce board

members that he has been playing

golf since he was 10 and

working at golf clubs from the

time he was in middle school.

“I’ve never done anything else,”

he said.

According to the GRAA award,

“(Sorensen) built a career as a

club professional working at top

100 courses, including the Myopia

Hunt Club, Augusta National

Golf Club, Mountain Lake, Isleworth,

and Dorset Field Club.

During his career Erik was a

head professional for the last seven

years, owning and operating

his own pro shop. During these

years Erik has been recognized at

a national level as a Top 50 Kids

Teacher by US Kids as well as Best

in State Teacher by Golf Digest.

He was also recognized on a local

level by the PGA of America, as a

five-time Vermont Chapter award

winner.”

According to the GRAA

award, the Newbury golf center

has 20 tees on bent grass,

in addition to its 30 bays with

mats. Its yardage measurements

from the tees to the targets are

accurate. There is also a 3-acre,

short game practice area and

grass putting green. The heated

bays are in a 90- by 24-foot

building that doubles as a corporate

events area.

The golf shop has food and beverage

as well as Richardson’s ice

cream.

There is a ball flight monitor,

flags, bunkers, built-up greens and

fairway cuts.

When Covid-19 restrictions

are lifted, the range expects to

have more than 50,000 golfers

per year, hitting almost 4 million

balls.

Sorensen runs a large lesson program

of schools, clinics and private

lessons. For young golfers, ages

five to 17, he offers free clinics and

schools, and the Triton Regional

High School team gets free practice

time. He provides a scholarship

program, giving all his profits

for one day a month to the high

school.
