GROVELAND -- Police Chief Robert Kirmelewicz is happy to report that an independent organization ranked Groveland the number one safest place to live in Massachusetts.

Value Penguin conducted the study and determined Groveland to be the safest town in the state due to its makeup and low number of reported crimes. The company used the FBI Crime Report to Continued on page 2

Faith of Our Fathers

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter ––––––––––––––––– SALISBURY – For the long Independence Day holiday during this 50th anniversary year of the U.S. ground troops entering the Vietnam War, a new Vietnam Wartheme movie, Faith of Our Fathers, is opening this week in theaters in Salisbury, Merrimack, NH, and Portsmouth, NH. Produced by Pure Flix and executive producer Tom Saab, a well-known North Shore real estate executive, Faith of Our Fathers is a Christian film, but Saab sees it as a story with a message that is particularly relevant to soldier-parents deployed to the Middle East who are trying to maintain a relationship with their children.

“The thing that gets me about this movie,” Saab said, “is that two guys are fighting in Vietnam and what do they talk about? Their kids and how much they love them. It shows the importance of fatherhood.”

Saab, an outspoken evangelical Christian, has been Continued on page 3

The headstones in front of the First Parish Church

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter ––––––––––––––––– NEWBURY – Because of his Puritan religious beliefs, the Reverend Thomas Parker left England with men and their families from his native Wiltshire to settle first in Agawam (Ipswich) and then at the mouth of the Merrimack River.

He named the new settlement after the English town of Newbury, where he had served as an assistant pastor.

For the rest of his long life, dying blind at the age of 82 in 1677, Parker led the first church in the region and taught students, including tutoring several to attend Harvard University.

Fellow Puritan minister Cotton Mather praised Parker for “the beauty, holiness, charity, and humbleness of his life,” and “giving his people a perpetual and most lively commentary on his doctrine.”

The Quascacunquen River was renamed for him in 1697.

So you can imagine the excitement Donnie Jarvis felt two weeks ago when he finished cleaning the bushes off a large overgrown grave site at the First Parish Church Cemetery on High Road and realized he had been working at the grave of Rev. Thomas Parker.

“I couldn’t believe what I was reading on that headstone,” Jarvis said.

The stone, which is in the First Parish Church cemetery, not the adjacent cemetery named for the first minister, gives Continued on page 3

determine its results.

In 2013, Value Penguin states that the Groveland Police Department reported only 18 crimes (one robbery and 17 property-related charges) to the FBI. This is a 79 percent lower crime score than from its number a decade ago.

“We pride ourselves on maintaining safety at all times for our residents,” Chief Kirmelewicz said. “This study is a perfect illustration of the hard work and dedication from all the officers at the Groveland Police Department.”

Chief Kirmelewicz also credits Groveland’s rating to government officials, specifically Finance Director Denise Dembkoski. She helped earn the town a bond rating of AA+, the second highest rating available.

In turn, this rating will support the department’s project to re-do their emergency dispatch center and further endeavors down the road.

Groveland is almost entirely residential, with more than 2,100 homes along the Merrimac River.

Value Penguin ranked 237 cities and towns and allotted them a crime score from 71 to 3,742 based on population size and the amount of violent and property-related crimes per 100,000 people. Norfolk came in as the second safest place to live, followed by Sharon, Duxbury and Sudbury.

A Great and Good Man

Parker’s birth and death records.

“Here lies the body of Rev. Thomas Parker,” it reads. Born in 1595 in Wiltshire, England, Parker arrived in New England in 1635, founded and became the minister of the church in Newbury and died in 1677. “He was a great and good man,” the stone reads.

A larger grave site than most others in the sprawling cemetery across the street from the First Parish Church, Parker’s grave is marked with a relatively new headstone and four granite grave markers.

Nearby are the graves of his cousin Reverend James Noyes and his nephew John Woodbridge, initially an assistant to his uncle at the church, but later becoming Newbury’s first town clerk.

The cemetery, dotted with headstones of prominent Newbury and Newburyport families, may be one of the most historic sites in the area. The church has detailed records in the church archives of who is buried in the cemetery, and Karen King, a church member, is acquiring additional documents, church council moderator Edwina Goodhue wrote in an email.

Thanks to Jarvis, a veteran of two tours in the Army of Iraq and Afghanistan, plus a couple of friends, this very overgrown cemetery is being cleared so descendants, history buffs, students and other visitors may locate

the final resting place of men and women who founded this corner of the New World.

“I want to see if I can get this cemetery declared historic,” Jarvis said last week, putting down his hand tools long enough to place American flags beside graves of dead soldiers, including several from the Revolutionary War. His vision is that this site will one day welcome visitors and even offer in-person or on-line tours of the grave sites.

Bill Steelman, chief operating officer for the Essex Heritage Commission, said identifying a site like Parker’s and others graves will be of great interest.

“People are interested in genealogy.

It is a major reason people visit graveyards,” he said.

He praised Jarvis’ volunteer efforts, saying, “Grave sites are quite fragile. I salute any organization or individual that is helping to preserve the physical evidence of our history.”

Jarvis, a Triton High School graduate, approached the church council for permission to clean out the brush on the several acres and the hundreds of headstones in the cemetery.

The church, founded by Parker and other settlers in 1635, pays for mowing to create pathways through the cemetery, but not of the grave sites. As a result, weeds, brush and trees have overtaken the headstones.

Goodhue said the council granted Jarvis permission to clean out the grave site and said she was very pleased and excited that he has found cleared away the brush of the grave sites of the community’s founders.

“We want to thank and credit him for this amazing work,” she wrote in an email.

Jarvis has been clearing headstones for men and their families who had fought in every war. Some of the headstones, dating back centuries, couldn’t be seen inside large bushes.

Others are toppled over like dominoes.

Two small, old headstones were now embedded inside the trunk of a large tree that grew up between them.

“There is a lot of neglect here,” Jarvis said.

So for weeks he has been devoting most of his free time away from work at the Castaways Seafood & Grille in Seabrook, NH, cleaning out the grave sites using only hand tools.

After the first article about the cemetery cleanup appeared in The Town Common, volunteers have called him offering help, including a professional landscaper.

“I think I will wait for him and his equipment to clean that area out,” Jarvis said, pointing to a section at The the back of the cemetery that is very heavily overgrown.

If you would like to help, email him at jarvis.don@gmail.com or call him at 978-308-9186.

involved with Christian films almost as long as he has been buying, leasing and selling real estate in Salisbury and Hampton, NH. “The whole purpose of Christian movies is to share the message of Christ,” Saab said. “Jesus said ‘Go to all corners of the world and preach the gospel.’ With Christian movies, someone in the remotest part of Africa can turn on a laptop and watch this movie,” Saab said.

He readily admits that Christian movies in the 1980s, when he first got involved in promoting them through the Billy Graham organization, were not very well done.

That has changed dramatically in recent years as top quality actors and directors have begun making movies with Christian themes.

Faith of Our Fathers features Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Downes, David A.R. White, Rebecca St. James, with Si Robertson and Candace Cameron Bure. The sister of actor Kirk Cameron, Bure starred in the television show, Full House.

Other well-known actors who have starred in Christian films include Cybill Shepherd and Eric Roberts.

Opening July 1, Faith of Our Fathers is a father-son movie when two young men, one a Christian, the other not, meet as strangers. Guided only by letters from their fathers,

Faith of Our Fathers the two young men journey from Mississippi to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Their quest is to find out how their fathers died in the war.

The movie alternates between flashbacks to the horrors of the war in 1969 and the conversations between the two father-soldiers about faith and family and to the current discussions between their sons about life, faith and growing up without fathers.

be ancient history. REALTORS® will give you a comparative market analysis which, outlined next, is an estimate of market value based on comparable sales.

3. Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) CMA is done by REALTORS® to establish the most likely selling price for a property. To do this they look at the most recent sales of homes similar to yours in your neighborhood. Ideally your neighbor’s home is the exact same style as yours and sold yesterday. If not, they compare it to homes with the same number of bedrooms, living area, land, number of bathrooms, etc. These sales should be within the last year and a good sampling is typically more than 3. If you can’t find more than three in the same town, then looking in the surrounding towns is preferable or going back farther than 12 months (while factoring in appreciation) can be done. A REALTOR® that works and has success in your area can give you a good idea as to what your home will be worth on the open market. They may know of homes that sold privately or of good or bad quirks, (flooded basement, seller had bought something and NEEDED to sell) not mentioned in MLS, etc.

Appraised value does not always equal the true market value or more specifically what the home will sell for on the open market. Talk with a REALTOR® who knows the area well and has a history of success in real estate sales in your area.

July 1 - 6, 2015

Last night I saw a commercial for a cholesterol medication in which the person playing the doctor says, “I wish my patients could see what I see.� I believe there are two ways to look at that statement.

The commercial showed an image of animated artery walls clogging with particles of plaque clinging to one another making the opening of the artery smaller and smaller. This is a visual that is easy to understand.

The second, and more subtle way to take this statement, is the doctor wishing that patients could see what happens to patients over time with and without compliance to taking medication or changing their diet.

If patients could only understand and use the vast experiences of the doctor to make better decisions for themselves, wouldn’t everyone choose to do all the “right� things for a better and healthier life?

Conventional wisdom would say “yes� but reality says something different.

I have been photographing teeth for over 20 years. When I tell a patient that I am going to take a

series of pictures of their teeth the response I often hear is, “I just had x-rays taken.� When I explain that they are pictures and not x-rays it is not uncommon for the patient to ask, “Why?�

I had a new patient in yesterday for a consultation who said these exact words. The patient then said something that I also hear frequently, “No one has ever done this before.� My response is that I take pictures of teeth for two reasons. The first is for my own documentation and the second is to be able to show the patient what is in their own mouth.

Showing a patient visual images of their own teeth is by far the most powerful tool I use in practice.

How many times have you been to a dentist where treatment is explained and recommended but you can’t see it? A picture is truly worth a thousand words.

When I started displaying the images and giving the patient above a tour of her own mouth the patient said, “Wow, that doesn’t look good.

I can’t believe that is in my mouth.�

I hear that a lot too. After the “tour� I continued to explain why things look a certain way and what to expect in the future. I proposed both long and short-term plans for the patient to consider. Photographs are invaluable for this exercise and most patients appreciate being able to see what I see.

The next part of my consultation

is to try to get the patient to look beyond the pictures and envision where they want to be 5, 10, 20+ years down the road. My goal is to bring my own experience of knowing, based on all the patients I have seen in practice, where the patient is headed and give them the opportunity to potentially change the course of their future.

This approach may be different for some people. It is easy to get overwhelmed by any new approach and I always encourage patients that this is the beginning of a relationship and decisions to do or not do something do not have to be made today. My new patient said, “I am X years old and I don’t know if I am even going to be around in 10 or 20 years.� Crystal ball or not, it still seems like a long time to me.

You, as a patient, should look beyond today and make choices for ANY aspect of your health based on where you want to be in the future.

Take advantage of the knowledge you gain from all your experiences and make decisions that you feel are right for you.
