The posters are from a collection of more than 6000 of Stephen Lewis. He is a long-time activist in the labor movement, and the former Treasurer of his union. Someone once said that war is a failure of diplomacy. Lewis believes that this only applies where both parties want a settlement, or a settlement that is not dictated by threats of one party toward the other. He comments “In an attempt to reduce crime, a well known television show, The Wire, had a character giving advice The Town Common Courtesy Photo to the police saying “follow A Poster from Stephen Lewis's collection. the money”.

them. Civil wars have often been fought for the same reason. One entity of a country may control the wealth of the country, but only use it to benefit one segment of the society. This division may be territorial (Falkland Islands), ethnic (Kurds), religious (Syria), class (Russia & China), etc”. Another trail of money that leads to war is the arm trade. Some corporations make a big profit on everything from sidearms to ballistic missiles. The bigger the bang, the greater the profit. What is the effect of war? Death and injury of people including non-combatants, Destruction of infrastructure leading to more death and illness from disease, starvation, freezing, resources diverted away from helping people, homelessness etc. Tax dollars are spent on weapons instead of healthcare, transportation, housing, job creation and other social benefits.

is a society’s culture of war. It’s much easier to promote going to war in a society where children are raised with war toys and watching movies and television shows where violence and aggression are shown as the only way to resolve disagreements. Then it’s on to playing at war on video games. Finally, it’s a short step to using those same computer video game skills to sit in a bunker controlling drone planes firing missiles at targets thousands of miles away. Stephen Lewis has exhibited at a number of public libraries in Massachusetts, Boston City Hall, and two of the state Heritage parks. He has presented at the annual conference of the National Council on Public History, and on some cable television programs. and from connections made through the internet. This project is supported in part by a grant from the Newbury Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Maxwell’s Walking Tour This Sunday Mystery writer Edith Maxwell has scheduled a walking tour through Amesbury for this Sunday, April 10th, not last week as we may have led some of our readers to believe. The walking tour will begin at 1:30 p.m. in Amesbury’s Market Square where Maxwell, dressed in a period costume sewn by Elizabeth Hallett of Threadneedle Alley, will guide attendees, pointing out the historic Friends Meetinghouse, the Whittier Home, the lower falls of the Powow River, Carriage Hill and the site of the former opera house and a Victorian home, all sites in her new mystery, Delivering the Truth. The tour’s one mile loop will end at Crave Restaurant, near Market Square, where Maxwell will host a book party from 3 to 5 p.m.

would like to protect.” It is her 35 play for Theater Workshop, which rents the theater at the Newbury Elementary School for productions in the fall and spring each year. This January, when the children gathered, Fix had no idea what this spring’s play would be. Only after talking with the students about their interests and talents did she conceive of a musical that celebrates all that is wonderful about the Earth. Gone, Gone, Gone features five sisters who are Princesses on a quest to find a dragon. The King, the father of the young women, has vowed to give his eldest daughter’s hand in marriage to the man that slays a dragon. But dragons are an endangered species, and the youngest Princess ventures into the forest to save the dragons and declare her independence. Complicating the issue is that the dragon she finds turns out not to be fire-breathing or maneating, but, rather as Fix describes it, a garden-variety dragon, played by Skylar Sharp.

Gone, Gone, Gone When the youngest princess, Princess Sabrina, played by Morgan Hall, encounters the 40foot long dragon, it tells her “You don’t know me. You are a human, you are careless.” Sabrina responds that the dragon does not know her either and that she is not like other humans, she is not careless. The two new friends set off on a quest through a magical and mysterious land where they meet up with dancing leprechauns, woodland fairies, pie-eating gnomes and magical cats. “It is an adventure with a meaningful message that is perfect for our time,” Fix wrote in her description of her latest production. In addition to the elementary school students, a dozen middle school and high school students work on the production, providing the lighting and music. There are two choreographers. Rachel Hall has returned from California where she is pursuing her own acting career to help with this production. She is joined by newcomer Nicole Tashian.

www.TheTownCommon.com “These are very talented kids,” Tashian said. “I am so proud of the way they have grown.” In her early conversations with the students, Fix discovered that several were talented gymnasts and has incorporated tumbling and handstands into the dances. The magical cat, played by Lizzie Protopapas, loves to do handstands on stage. Gone, Gone, Gone “will delight audiences of all ages,” Fix said. The musical will be performed Newbury Elementary School, 63 Hanover Street, at 7 p.m. on Thursday April 7, Friday April 8, Saturday April 9 and at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 10. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $15 for reserved seats and $25 for front row seats. The proceeds from the sale of the front row seats goes to support scholarships. To order tickets, email TWSboxoffice@gmail.com. Applications for scholarships to Workshop Arts must be submitted by May 1. For more information, visit www.workshopartsinc.org.

said Board of Selectmen Vice Chairman Joseph Perry. Town Counsel Judy Pickett agreed. As elected officials, the commissioners oversee the work of digging graves and maintaining the cemetery. But under state law, they cannot do the work themselves, she said. Nor can they discuss cemetery business, such as who is going to dig the graves and keep the headstones in good order, outside of a posted public meeting, Ms. Pickett told them. The commissioners, Arthur Page, the chairman, Bill Gaynor, the clerk, and Peter Dalzell, conceded that they often discuss cemetery business on the telephone or while working at the cemetery. Page and Gaynor maintain the cemetery, while Dalzell uses personal equipment to dig and fill in the graves. On average each year, 31 bodies are buried at the Rowley cemetery, which was founded in 1639 and includes the graves of Ezekiel Rogers, Samuel Phillips and other early church ministers and “nearly all of the original settlers.” The commissioners and the cemetery task force, which includes Selectman Robert Snow, scheduled a meeting for Monday

night at 6:30 to discuss options for how the cemetery would be maintained. Gaynor told the selectmen he is working on three different approaches to resolving the conflict. The selectmen may meet on the issue again this week. “What happens if we get a call tomorrow that we need to dig a grave?” Dalzell asked the selectmen. Even if they resigned as a cemetery commissioner and applied to be only laborers, under state ethics law, they have to wait 30 days before they can be hired. Selectman David Petersen suggested the commission could hire someone from the highway department or a private firm to dig the grave. “You can’t hire yourselves,” he said. Gaynor responded, “We can’t afford to hire someone else.” The town charges $500 to dig a grave in the cemetery. Of that, $250 goes to the town’s general fund. The other $250 is paid into the cemetery’s revolving fund. The town also budgets $20,000 a year to pay for digging graves, plus $5,000 in expenses. Currently there is about $12,000 in the cemetery’s revolving fund, which could be used to hire a firm to dig graves. But Gaynor said private firms charge $750 to dig a grave. If

Real Estate • For Sale

Buyers Closing Costs • Sports • Sports Sports By John McCarthy, Rowley Realty Last time we spoke about seller fees and the costs to close the sale of your home. This article we will look at the buying side of things. The majority of the closing costs are assumed by the buyer, not the seller. The one thing to keep in mind is that your lender is required by law to disclose ALL costs. There should be no surprises. On October 3, 2015 integration of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and Truth in Lending Act (TILA) also known as TRID, disclosures and regulations was enacted. Any transaction involving a mortgage will use these new disclosure forms. The new TRID rules according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) “improve consumer understanding of the mortgage process, aid in comparison shopping, and help to prevent surprises at the closing table”. Let’s talk about these buyer fees and costs. Mortgage & Homeowners Insurance: While I wouldn’t call of these “fees” you may not be aware for example that your mortgage is paid in arrears. Your bank or mortgage company usually requires that you pay a few months of taxes and homeowners insurance in advance into an escrow account. You may or may not be able to get the escrow waived depending on which bank or mortgage company you use. Taxes: Taxes may need to be reimbursed to the seller. For example, if the seller has paid the taxes through June and you close on May 30th you will give a credit for one month of taxes back to the seller. Purchase and Sale: Many times the closing attorney will be the buyer’s attorney up until the closing. He/she may have reviewed both the contract to purchase and the purchase and sale for you. This is typically where they would bill you for these services. Appraisal Fee: The bank or mortgage companies will send out an appraiser to the property to determine value. This fee can run from $300 and up. Municipal Lien Certificate (MLC): This is given by the town saying that the taxes have been paid. Cost is typically $25, with an additional $65 going to the Registry of Deeds to record this fact. Plot Plan: The bank or mortgage company requires that a plot plan which shows that all

“improvements” (house, driveway, shed, etc.) are on the property being purchased. Cost is $150$200. FHA Commitment Fee: Many of the loans recently are FHA backed. They charge a “commitment” fee which is approximately $250. Flood Certification: A small fee to determine whether or not your property is in a flood zone and would therefore need flood insurance. Loan Origination Fee: Commonly referred to as “points” with each point equal to 1% of your loan amount. In some instances you may choose to pay the bank or mortgage company a point or points to reduce your mortgage rate. For example, if your loan amount is $300,000 and your interest rate at 5.5% you may have an option of paying a point or points to bring the rate down to say 5%. Recording Fees: If you are getting a mortgage you will need to record it at the registry of deeds at a cost of $175. You will also need to record your new deed at $125. Owners Title Insurance: The bank or mortgage company requires Title Insurance to cover the mortgage amount and charges the buyer for this. In addition, the buyer has the option to purchase Title Insurance for the equity (difference between purchase price and loan amount) in the property. Most buyers purchase this as it is a onetime fee and protects their interest in the property. Condo Fee Adjustment: If you are buying a condo you will owe the seller for condo fees. For example, if you buy on the 15th of the month and your condo fees are $300/month you are required to credit the seller 15 days at $10/ day. Fuel Adjustment: If you are buying a house that has oil heat for example you will need to reimburse the seller for the amount of oil left in the tank. Loan Processing, Loan Origination Fee or an “Admin” Fee: A fee charged by the lender for accepting the loan and doing all the work necessary to approve it. There may be others that I have overlooked but I believe this is most of them on the buyer’s side. It is always a good idea to ask your REALTOR® and obviously your mortgage agent to give you a rundown of what fees to expect. In this case, as with the seller’s

Life Goes On

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD

You may think that as you get older, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll lose some of your teeth. You probably know older people who have bridges, partials, dentures or implants to replace missing teeth. It may seem inevitable that tooth loss is just another part of aging. It is not. Just as taking care of your body can keep you active and healthier, taking care of your teeth can ensure you keep them and enjoy a better quality of life. If your teeth and gums are healthy, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason for you to lose your teeth. However, it is also important to realize and accept that we must learn to rely on others to help us with the things that we want to maintain and improve in our lives. Many older people grew up during a time when preventive dental care was not emphasized. They may believe that toothaches, bleeding gums, loose teeth or mouth pain are just part of getting older. Even absence of any of these things does not mean everything is okay. Lack of pain is not a good indicator of health. Irregular dental visits can result in untreated tooth decay and gum

disease. Both of these can lead to lost teeth. Missing teeth, toothache or mouth pain also can change how and what you eat. Not only may this be unhealthy for you, but is also avoidable by taking care of yourself. Visiting the dentist is especially important for older people because they may have other medical conditions. These conditions can create dental problems. Hundreds of medicines can cause side effects in your mouth. Some of these, such as dry mouth, can increase the risk of tooth decay or other oral health problems. Saliva is a natural cavity-fighter. It neutralizes acids produced by bacteria that can cause tooth decay. Saliva helps wash away food and bacteria. It also contains minerals that strengthen teeth. Dry mouth reduces saliva. This makes you more vulnerable to cavities. Dentists can treat dry mouth. They also can prescribe fluoride rinses or gels to help fight decay. Older people are more likely to get cavities for other reasons, too. Receding gums can allow acids to get to the roots of teeth and cause cavities. Older fillings break down leaving teeth susceptible to decay. People who have lost all of their teeth often think they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to visit the dentist anymore. Yearly dental visits are important for monitoring the fit of dentures

as well as the health of the tissues underneath them. The bone under your gums changes over time and denture teeth wear and become less effective. More glue is not the best answer. Oral cancer also affects older people, whether or not they have teeth. Each year, about 8,000 Americans die of oral cancer. More than half of these deaths are in people 65 or older. Smoking and alcohol use also increase the risk of oral cancer. If oral cancer is detected early, it can be treated successfully. Avoiding the dentist makes early detection less likely. Consistent and effective home care is vital for the protection of your teeth. If you have trouble handling a toothbrush or floss because of arthritis, a disability or an illness, special toothbrushes and floss holders are available. They have been adapted to be easier to hold. Sometimes a standard electric toothbrush is all you need. It is important to take care of yourself. Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered family dentistry.

Beware: Medical Apps for Smartphones

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much we can do with the new smartphones. But just because we can doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we should. A study from the Illinois Institute of Technology ChicagoKent College of Law revealed that a great many mobile health apps were sharing private medical information with third parties without the user being aware. Granted, for those of us with health conditions to monitor, a phone app can be handy to keep us on track. Sometimes

our physicians recommend it. Some apps are even approved as prescriptions by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Specifically the study focused on Android diabetes apps and looked at whether there was indication that private information was being disclosed to third parties. (Android has the biggest market share of phone operating systems.) Researchers found over 270 diabetes apps and chose 75 of them to monitor for transmission analysis. Within six months, 60 of those apps were no longer available. Of the group remaining, 81 percent didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a privacy policy. Of the ones that had privacy policies, only four would even ask if information could be shared.

Of the 75 chosen for transmission analysis, there was a wide variety of information sent off to third parties: 86 percent placed tracker cookies in the app, and most of them shared information whether they had a privacy policy or not. Of the apps that actually had privacy policies, only 12 asked for the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission before sending off their data to others. Ten shared the information with business partners, and 16 used the information for ads. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act bars medical staff from disclosing your private information to others, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover phone apps.
