NEWBURY – Because of his Puritan religious beliefs, the Reverend Th omas Parker left England with men and their families from his native Wiltshire to settle fi rst 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 fi rst 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.”

Th e Quascacunquen River was renamed for him in 1697.

So you can imagine the excitement Donnie Jarvis felt two weeks ago when he fi nished 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. Th omas Parker.

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

Th e stone, which is in the First Parish Church cemetery, not the adjacent cemetery named for the fi rst minister, gives

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 War-theme 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 fi lm, 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.

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

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. Th is 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. “Th is study is a perfect illustration of the hard work and dedication from all the offi cers at the Groveland Police Department.”

Chief Kirmelewicz also credits Groveland’s rating to government offi cials, specifi cally 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.

Continued from page 1is an important step forward for the necessary remediation, landscaping and bulkhead repairs to complete the Heritage Park project, said State Senator Kathleen O’Connor Ives.

“Th is is terrifi c news for the City of Amesbury,” said Representative Kelcourse. “Th is funding will not only help pay for the removal of harmful contaminants at the Heritage Park site, but will also allow the city to open up the waterfront area for the enjoyment of individuals, families and tourists for generations to come.”

A revitalized Lower Millyard, including the completion of Heritage Park, will provide critical riverfront stabilization and outdoor recreational amenities and direct waterfront access for all residents and visitors for the City of Amesbury to enjoy. In October of 2013, environmental testing at the Heritage Park project site revealed the existence of PCB contaminants along the waterfront. Upon the recommendation of the State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the city separated and fenced off the contaminated riverfront area from the park project. Th e discovered contamination eliminated the possibilities of constructing a Riverwalk and providing direct access to the water. Th e EPA has selected the Heritage Park Waterfront project as the designee of a cleanup team to complete a remediation project. Th is places the Amesbury project in the unique “shovel ready” position to move forward shortly after the EPA has completed the waterfront remediation. Th e support from the DEP and the EPA presents an opportunity for the city to complete the construction of Heritage Park according to its initial design, which includes access to the waterfront.

A Great and Good Man

Parker’s birth and death records. “Here lies the body of Rev. Th omas

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 fi rst town clerk.

Th e cemetery, dotted with headstones of prominent Newbury and Newburyport families, may be one of the most historic sites in the area. Th e 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.

Th anks 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 buff s, students and other visitors may locate

the fi nal 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 fl ags beside graves of dead soldiers, including several from the Revolutionary War.

His vision is that this site will one day welcome visitors and even off er in-person or on-line tours of the grave sites.

Bill Steelman, chief operating offi cer 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 eff orts, 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.

Th e 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.

“Th ere 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 fi rst article about the cemetery cleanup appeared in Th e Town Common, volunteers have called him off ering 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 back of the cemetery that is very heavily overgrown.

If you would like to help, email him at [email protected] or call him at 978-308-9186.

involved with Christian fi lms almost as long as he has been buying, leasing and selling real estate in Salisbury and Hampton, NH.

“Th e 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 fi rst got involved in promoting them through the Billy Graham organization, were not very well done.

Th at 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. Th e sister of actor Kirk Cameron, Bure starred in the television show, Full House.

Other well-known actors who have starred in Christian fi lms 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,

the two young men journey from Mississippi to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Th eir quest is to fi nd out how their fathers died in the war.

Th e movie alternates between fl ashbacks 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.

For the July 1 Salisbury premiere, veterans and active military members in the Greater Lawrence, Newburyport and Salisbury area can contact Saab for two free tickets for the Salisbury opening by calling 978-465-5116 or 978-683-6699. Latitude in Salisbury is also giving away free tickets to veterans and active duty soldiers.

Faith of Our Fathers is just the latest in a long list of Christian fi lms Saab as been involved with as promoter, producer, script editor and even once as an actor. He played the role of a deputy sheriff in the fi lm, Th e Encounter, where he worked alongside wrestler Steve “Sting” Borden.

Making movies has been more than a hobby for Saab, who operates several very successful real estate businesses, including a hotel in Hampton Beach and rental properties

in Salisbury. He ran two years ago for Salisbury selectman. In the 1990s, he headed the Christian Film Festival. By his estimate, 450,000 people saw Christian fi lms at the festivals.

“God has created opportunities for me to serve Him,” Saab said.

For the future, he said, “Christian fi lms are booming.”

Another of Pure Flix studio’s fi lms God’s Not Dead was a big success, grossing $67 million and making it the highest revenue-producing, independent Christian movie in history.

But Saab admits it hardly compares to mainstream movies like American Sniper that has grossed more than $400 million.

“Evangelicals need to get out and support these movies,” he said.

He believes that Hollywood is recognizing that if it produces Biblical fi lms like Noah, Christians will pack the audiences.

But making money is not the goal for Saab in producing and starring in Christian fi lms. He admits he has lost money on some fi lms.

His perspective: “When I am in Heaven, these movies will still be leading people to the Lord.”

Faith of Our Fathers premiers at the Vision Max Cinema in Salisbury and at the Cinemagic theaters in Merrimack, NH, and Portsmouth, NH.

Making the Case for Juvenile Life Insurance

By John K. Barnes, CFP® I recently attended a financial

planning conference. During a lunch break, I met up with a couple of my colleagues. One of them told us about a client who wanted to purchase a life insurance policy on his children just in case something happened. My other colleague quickly dismissed the notion that parents should be purchasing life insurance on their child; children generate no income, he said, so there is no insurance need to cover their lives.

How did I respond? Very similar of what I write below. First, let me point out that my colleague was not wrong. Life insurance is used to protect an income. Children typically are not earning a high amount of income to have life insurance. So, with regards to that framework, my colleague was right. In fact, I was in his camp for a long time with that line of thinking.

However, the more I thought about it and researched, the more life insurance on children made sense.

The first, and arguably most beneficial, aspect of life insurance on a child is that the child’s future insurability is typically guaranteed. With a life insurance policy already in locked place, the child has a foundation set for the life of the policy. Maybe he or she can get more insurance through work or another avenue, but at least a foundation has been set at a comparatively low price.

The second reason is that the child, with a policy in place, could have options throughout his or her lifetime to add more insurance. This option depends on the insurance company, but most offer a benefit (as a rider to the original policy) called a “guarantee purchase option”. This can be a great benefit if the child develops a condition later in life.

The final reason, as I explained to my friend and colleague, is that helping our clients plan for not only their future, but also for the future of their children and even grandchildren (with regards to estate planning) is what we do. We can’t foresee what the future holds.

After we discussed, I could see the attitude of my colleague changed. Although he was not decidedly against the concept as he was from the get-go, he started to warm up to the idea.

If you have not thought about it or was against it, maybe you should rethink and reconsider as I did.

populations, reducing health disparities, and promoting wellness of vulnerable populations.

Across both campuses, Holy Family Hospital’s priorities align with these guidelines and include navigating the health care system, education on health insurance coverage, overweight and obesity, diabetes management and care, and mental health care and support. Additional priorities include oral health; smoking cessation; cancer awareness, education and early detection; and collaborative care for emergency department frequent users. All of the hospital’s eff orts aim to reduce the incidence of specifi c health problems through education, prevention, support programs and advocacy.

Holy Family Hospital serves on the Mayor’s Health Task Force Executive Committee (CHNA 11), chairs the Merrimack Valley and Seacoast Health Partnership (CHNA 12), and is on the board of directors for the Merrimack Valley Prevention and Substance Abuse Project. Th e hospital is also an active on several other community advisory boards and working groups. Participation in community events and off erings is also made possible by the hospital’s Ambassador Program. In FY2014, hospital staff contributed approximately 5,600 hours - or 140, 40-hour work weeks - to communities

Holy Family Hospital’s Methuen and Haverhill campuses collectively provided 5.8 million in Community Benefi ts expenditures in 2014, which included free or discounted care provided directly to patients and the sponsorship of important health education programs. Th e full report was recently published by the Offi ce of the Massachusetts Attorney General.

“Holy Family Hospital’s team is committed to providing care beyond the rooms of our hospital and into the communities where individuals and their families can benefi t from access to health, education and wellness services,” said Joseph Roach, President of Holy Family Hospital’s Methuen and Haverhill campuses.

“Our Community Benefi ts Program is a refl ection of the population health needs of the communities we serve and also aligns with the statewide health priorities,” said Mr. Roach. Our contributions reach into the communities where we actively participate on health leadership boards, provide community service programs and join in collaborative community eff orts.”

Th ere are four statewide health priorities identifi ed in the AG’s Guidelines: supporting health care reform, improving chronic disease management in disadvantaged

For each campus – Methuen and Haverhill – Holy Family Hospital has established a Community Benefi ts Advisory Committee comprised of leaders from throughout the community who have been involved in the hospital’s priority planning and delivery for many years. “We are very grateful for their service and dedication,” said Mr. Roach. “Th eir insight and support are essential and we value their partnership in pursuit of community health.”

All non-profi t hospitals are required to provide community benefi ts; however, Holy Family Hospital, part of the Steward Health Care System, provides the same level of community benefi ts as non-profi t hospitals as well as pays real estate taxes in Methuen and Haverhill. In 2014, the taxes topped $1.4 million. Holy Family Hospital’s tax contribution helps support the salaries of teachers, police offi cers and fi refi ghters in these communities.

Appraisal, Assessment and a Market Analysis

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. � ese sales should be within the last year and a good sampling is typically more than 3. If you can’t � nd 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. � ey may know of homes that sold privately or of good or bad quirks, (� ooded 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 specifi cally 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.

If you have any questions or are looking to buy or sell a home please contact me, John McCarthy at Rowley Realty, 165 Main St., Rowley, MA 01969, Phone: 978 948-2758, Cell 978 835-2573

or mortgage company to make sure that the buyer is purchasing a property that is worth at least the value of their loan. Appraisers usually use “comparable sales” when evaluating the market value of a home. In an appraisal that is done by a bank for a buyer who has the home under agreement, the appraisal certi� es to the bank and secondary mortgage investors that the buyer is paying fair or less than fair market value for a home.

Recently I had an appraisal on a home we had under agreement. Th is appraiser looked at 3 other homes in the neighborhood (online) and stated that the subject home wasn’t worth what it was being sold for. After speaking with him and pointing out the diff erences that weren’t readily apparent, or stated online he adjusted his opinion of value and the subject property appraised for what the buyer and seller agreed on.

2. AssessmentsAn assessment is the value your

Town puts on your property for the purpose of taxing it.

Th ere are diff erent formulas for doing this. Land Use is one such concept, i.e., the property is taxed at its value as a farm and the fact that it can be subdivided into buildable lots is ignored or deferred. Most towns use a market adjusted cost approach based on sales of like properties. Th ey take all components of a home, size, location, condition, etc., to establish an assessed value of homes.

Due to the fact that assessments come out once a year and the market can shift upward or downward in a very short period of time, it may not be a great idea to put too much credence in the assessed value of a property when you are trying to fi gure out market value. In today’s market even six-month-old information can

All Types of Property Repairs

Our real estate market continues to surge with more and more homes receiving multiple off ers. Sellers are seeing the value of their homes increase and the ability to get them sold in a timely manner. Interest rates are still low, and with these low interest rates, homeowners who now have the equity in their home to refi nance are calling their mortgage agents. Lenders will send an appraiser to view the home as part of this refi nancing process. Homeowners who are contemplating selling often tell me that they recently had an appraisal and that the appraiser stated that their home was worth more or less than my market analysis. Why? Well, let’s take a look at the diff erences between an appraisal, an assessment and Comparative Market Analysis (CMA).

1. Bank or Mortgage AppraisalAn appraisal is an estimate of

market value. An appraiser can use many methods for coming up with this estimate. An appraiser is a professional who can tell you what your home is worth but not necessarily what it will sell for. Tricky I know, but bear with me. Th e appraiser will come to your house and list the number and size of the rooms and any extras, such as a hardwood fl oors, granite countertops and fi nished basements or attics. Appraisers look at nearby properties with similar characteristics which have sold in the past 6 months to see at what price they sold and they typically give the most weight to the property they feel is most like the property being appraised. Th e appraiser then estimates that your home might sell for approximately the same amount of money as similar homes. Th e main way that it diff ers from a REALTORS® Market Analysis is that an appraiser is hired by a bank

Seeing Is Believing Brighter Smiles...

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD

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.

You can view all previously written columns at www.jpeterstclairdentistry.com/blog.

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

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Making things more complicated than they need to be can be a problem for the typically orderly Lamb. Try to look for a less intricate way to accomplish the same goals.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Avoiding personal involvement in a troubling situation might be advisable at this time, especially since you probably don’t have all the facts. Th e weekend brings a surprise.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A problem with a colleague you thought had been resolved could recur. However, this time you’ll be able to rely on your record to get a quick resolution in your favor. Good luck.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Giving your self-esteem a boost could be a good idea for the Moon Child, who might feel a bit daunted by the week’s occurrences. Just focus on all your positive accomplishments.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Th e “mane” attraction for the Lovable Lion this week is -- what else? -- love. New relationships move to new levels, while long-standing partnerships are strengthened.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A recent workplace problem will prove to be one of miscommunication, and once the matter is settled, you should have a better chance of getting your proposals approved.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good news! After dealing pretty much in the dark with a matter that seemed to be taking forever to resolve, you should soon be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A positive message should help lift that energy-draining sense of anxiety, and you should soon be able to deal with even the peskiest matter, whether at work or personal.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Try to control that heated Sagittarian temperament while dealing with what you believe to be an unfair matter. A cool approach is the best way to handle things.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Nursing hurt feelings could keep you from learning what went wrong. Ask your partner, a family member or a trusted friend to help you reassess your actions in the matter.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Nature is dominant this week. Try to spend time outdoors with someone special. An act of kindness in the past might be recalled by a person you believed was out of your life.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An upcoming career decision could be based on how well you might be able to apply your artistic talents. Be sure to use the fi nest samples of your work to make a strong impression.BORN THIS WEEK: Doing good things for others comes easily to you. You are considered a good friend, even by those you might hardly know.
