IPSWICH – When the earthquake in Maine rattled homes along the North Shore last week, Domenic Morello was laying on his bed. He heard a loud noise, the house began to shake and he started looking for a place to hide.

His friend Brenton Babb remembers he was playing with his iPhone. He heard the rumbling sound and dove under the bed.

Madeleine Cormier said she did not feel the earthquake, but was startled her when the shade in her room shot up.

NEWBURY — Not many high school students would work so hard or get so excited about winning a prize called the Rat.

But every fall, four local high school golf teams compete in the River Rival Championship to win the Rat, a unique trophy for a golf or any sport tournament.

Th e schools competing are Amesbury, Newburyport, Pentucket and Triton.

Not unexpectedly the Triton golf team won the River Rival Championship for the seventh time in the last 14 years. Triton, with a record of 14 wins and 5 losses, came into the championship as the favorite.

Amesbury had a record of seven

their computers and clicked on the Ipswich Public Library's web site to see if the earthquake had registered on the library's new seismograph. Th e Internet was not working, so the next day after school, they went in person to see what the seismograph had recorded.

In the middle of the paper the children found that the seismograph had recorded a small vertical line and several smaller ones registering the main tremor and the aftermath of the earthquake. Th ey thought that was “very cool.”

of an after-school program at the library that studies earthquakes.

Laurie Collins, the children's librarian who oversees the program, can't believe the luck of having a 4.0 magnitude earthquake hit New England just as the library is holding a program to study earthquakes.

“It really got the children interested,” Collins said.

Th e library is one of only two in the state that have seismographs. Th e Ipswich seismograph was installed on Feb. 23 for a total cost of about $10,000.

“We see (the seismograph) as part of our continuing mission to promote lifelong learning and personal growth,” said library director Victor Dyer. “We are very excited.”

Th e seismograph sits on an interior window sill on a granite slab that rests on top of a brick wall on the library's fi rst fl oor. Th at wall stands on rock ledge as the foundation for the library. Th e solid base for the seismograph is ideal for reading earth tremors. Ipswich, being near the ocean, is in

a good location to record under-sea earthquakes, the children pointed out.

Th e seismograph also gives the library the opportunity to off er a program “we never would have thought of,” Collins said.

Th e 10 students in the program came with a lot of knowledge about earthquakes, volcanoes and earth science. Last year in the third grade, they studied a rocks and mineral course, they said.

So they were ready to learn more from Stacy Moulis with the Weston Observatory, an affi liate of Boston College, who conducted a 90-minute session, teaching the children about earthquakes.

Th e library is also hosting lectures on earthquakes for adults. Th e fi nal of three lectures will be held Nov. 7 when Dr. Alan Kafka, an associate professor of Earth and Environmental Science, will speak on Mega Quakes, including ones in Haiti, Sumatra, Japan and closer to home in Virginia in 2011. Th e lecture begin at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center at the Ipswich Middle School, 135 High Street.

Th e students built their own seismographs out of paper plates, paper cups, yogurt containers, rubber bands and pens to record the earth's movement during an earthquake. Morello, who declared that he wants to be a geologist when he grows up, partnered with Babb to build their seismograph. Babb came up with the idea of tying a pen to the seismograph with a rubber band.

“It made it more sensitive,” Babb said.

Cormier had a diff erent design. It used a marble resting on top of a plastic tube. When the earthquake hits, the marble is jarred off the tube and lands in one of four paper cups that are taped to the top of the machine.

Prisby said her seismograph used a combination of yogurt cups to catch the marble during an earthquake.

Earthquakes are not unusual in New England, though they are rarely strong. Th e last major New England quake hit in the 1750s.

Whenever the next rumble comes, the Ipswich students expect to be there to record it.

NEWBURY – Following months of intense negotiations between federal, state and local offi cials, the fi rst permit to offi cially sanction the practice known as beach scraping to protect the properties on Plum Island has been issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

“Th e issuance of this permit represents a major breakthrough in providing residents with this valuable tool to protect their homes in the face of coastal erosion,” said Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). “Federal, state and local offi cials have once again worked together successfully to fi nd a way to make regulations work to protect the environment and to protect public safety.”

"Th is permit from the Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) is a positive step forward and another tool to assist homeowners in protecting their homes,” said State Representative Michael A. Costello (D-Newburyport). “I would like to thank Congressman John F.Tierney for shepherding this issuance through ACOE channels and making the permit a reality. Also, the Undersecretary of Environmental Aff airs Phillip Griffi th deserves recognition for bringing his team of specialists whose work led to this result.”

Th e permit has been issued to Plum Island resident Bob Connors, and it authorizes scraping in front of the homes at 29, 31, 35, 37 and 39 Annapolis Way.

“All of the Annapolis Way residents are indebted to Senator Tarr for leading the charge, in conjunction with Congressman Tierney and Governor Patrick, to cut through all the red tape so we can move forward on this project,” said Connors.

Tarr, who currently serves as the chair of the Merrimack River Beach Alliance, noted that he intends to convene additional meetings now that the fi rst permit has been issued to facilitate discussions about expanding the availability of this important tool.

Tarr said he expects work to get underway within the next several weeks.

‘The Burner Booster’ is easily installed and saves customers who use heating oil 38% less oil by increasing the efficiency of their oil burner. “The more oil you burn each season, the more money you will save,” explains Atlantic Green Energy’s president George Hurley. “What I (and our staff) enjoy especially is the savings we provide our customers. It is what we are here for. Time and time again, by providing free

evaluations, seeing the before and after numbers, and hearing positive testimonials, it is music to our ears when those who have had ‘The Burner Booster’ installed (or any of our other energy saving products) happy that they saved money by making smart and informed decisions.” If you would like to discover more about ‘The Burner Booster’, hear testimonials, or receive a free evaluation on any of the several home energy saving options for both businesses and residences, call Atlantic Green Energy in Seabrook, or drop into their upcoming open house.

course entitled ‘Six Month Smiles’. Many adult patients are unhappy

with crooked teeth. Some of them may have had braces when they were younger and didn’t wear their retainers and others may have never had braces but always wanted straighter teeth. I have numerous adult patients who are currently in braces with an orthodontist. I also have many patients that are not willing to make the commitment to wear metal brackets in their mouth for 2 or more years.

A few years ago I took a course for Invisalign. This is a system that uses scanned impressions of the mouth and provides a series of digitally produced removable clear trays called aligners. The patient wears the trays 24 hours a day and is only supposed to remove them to eat and brush their teeth. The trays are changed every 2 weeks and with each change the teeth are moved. The intended end result is straight teeth. Treatment time depends on the complexity of the movement desired. In my experience, treatment usually takes a year or more.

I have had my frustrations with Invisalign. Certain movements of teeth can be unpredictable. In addition, because the patient can remove the trays, there is a compliance issue. I limited the cases I did to patients who I knew would be compliant and had relatively easy tooth movements.

Six Month Smiles is a system that

Six Month SmilesI am using to replace Invisalign. It uses clear braces and a white wire so they are barely noticeable from speaking distance. And, the patient can’t take them off so it makes the movements more predictable in that regard. Why is it called Six Month Smiles? Treatment is usually completed in 6 months with a range from 4-8 months.

These are considered cosmetic braces. That means that their purpose is to treat the patient’s chief complaint, which is usually crooked front teeth. It does not change the bite relationship and is not intended for people with bite issues. The system is absolutely NOT a replacement for traditional orthodontics in most cases. Traditional orthodontics should always be discussed and considered.

However, this is the perfect solution for many adults. If you wish your front teeth were straight, don’t have gum disease, and don’t have any significant bite issues, this system may be for you. Email me some questions so I can write the answers to them in a future column.

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

Typically, fall and winter tend to be my heaviest time for continuing education. What is continuing education for a dentist? It is a must. As in any profession, learning never stops. If you stop learning, you halt growth both professionally and personally.

Dentistry offers continuing education in every aspect of the profession. Dentists can learn everything from new techniques in “filling” teeth to using Botox. In the next month I am travelling to Detroit to learn some new surgical techniques, New Jersey to learn a different way to do root canals, and Arizona for a refresher course on treatment planning and communication with patients. Travelling and being away from home is not my favorite part of this learning process, but you have to go where the information is.

In the 18 years of continuing my education, I have taken courses that have been career changing and others that were of no interest to me. Recently I was in Indianapolis for an orthodontic

What is in an Inspection?

such as roofi ng, structural, exterior and interior components, appliances that are staying with the house, electrical, heating/air conditioning, insulation and plumbing. When the inspection is fi nished you will receive a report outlining what the inspector found (most reports are now emailed to within 24 hours). Buyers should always be in attendance during the inspection as often times the paper report itself looks worse than the actual issue. For example, many reports have line items next to each part of the inspection. Under “Plumbing” the home inspector would check off “unsatisfactory” when all that is needed is a fi x to a leaking faucet. If you were in attendance you would know that it is a simple fi x.

Your home inspection is a great opportunity to get an experienced set of eyes on the home you have chosen. You can also get an idea as to what items you should be on the lookout for in the future. As a homeowner there is always something around the corner that needs to be fi xed, knowing what some of these items are in advance certainly helps.

If you have any questions about this article, real estate in general 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 via email at [email protected]

2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012!

Positive aspects of the home. Hopefully your home inspector will tell you what he/she likes about the home and why. “Th e basement shows no signs of water and boiler has been well maintained.”Maintenance and safety information. “Th e reset button for the boiler is here and the shut off for oil is here”

Exterior Issues:Grading and drainage of the property Stability of porches and decks Windows sills, doors and headers Fascia, soffi ts and gutters. Roof, fl ashings, vents and chimneys Garages and outbuildings

Interior Issues:Foundation walls, wood rot, termite/insect damage. Electrical service and wiring Plumbing and fi xtures Heating, air conditioning and ventilation Floors, walls, ceilings, doors and windows Attic insulation and ventilation

A home inspection does NOT include a number of things. Well water and radon measurements are only included by request (and usually at an extra cost). Inspections of pools spas and air conditioners in the winter months are not done. Septic inspections are done by a licensed Title V inspector not your home inspector. Home inspectors are not, under any circumstances, allowed to quote repair costs or give you their opinion of value (an appraisal for example) for the home.

Typically an inspection takes between 2 and 4 hours and includes an examination of all the major systems

Over the past few weeks I have been to a number of home inspections which is a good thing, market is active and homes are selling. Very simply, a house is the single largest investment most individuals will ever make. To bypass a home inspection makes little sense when so much of your future is on the line. If you are a fi rst time buyer or one who isn’t educated on the ins and outs of a home, a home inspection has proven to be a positive and educational experience for prospective home buyers. A licensed home inspector can give you a measure of protection from unpleasant surprises and allow you to make an informed decision about your purchase.

Th e purpose of an inspection is to determine the condition of a property at the time of purchase. It is NOT a vehicle to open up negotiations with a seller. Many buyers look at an inspection as just that, a way to get the price of the home lower. A good home inspector will point out items that need attention right now and ones that you should be aware of in the future. As I mentioned before a good home inspector can point out items a homeowner should know. Here are a few things that home inspections cover and just as importantly don’t cover:General Issues:

Serious defi ciencies. A roof that isn’t leaking but has little life left will be noted. Minor defi ciencies. A missing gutter downspout or a ceiling fan that isn’t secure.Age and life expectancy of major components. No way to know how long a roof will last but if it is the original roof from 1990 and shingles are guaranteed for 25 years you know how long you can expect.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You're eager to Ram headfi rst into that new project. But before you do, fi nd out why some of your colleagues might not appear to be as gung-ho about it as you are.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) All that dedicated hard work you've been

putting in pays off better than you expected. So go ahead, reward yourself with something befi tting a beauty-loving Bovine.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It's a good time to take on that new challenge. And if your self-confi dence is sagging, instead of telling yourself why you can't do it, list all the reasons why you can.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Th is is one time when you might want to put some distance between you and the job at hand. It will give you a better perspective on what you've done and still need to do.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Resist that occasional lapse into Leonine laziness that sometimes overtakes the Big Cat. Don't cut corners. Do the job right at this time, or you might have to redo it later.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You know how you like to do things. And that's fi ne. But watch that you don't impose your methods on others. A current fi nancial crunch soon eases.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Someone might try to take advantage of your generosity. But before your sensitivity toward others overwhelms your good sense, check his or her story out carefully.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your strong Scorpian sense of fairness lets you see all sides of a dispute. Continue to remain impartial as you help each person work through his or her particular grievance.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Trust your keen Sagittarian insight to help you see through an off er that might not be all it claims. A closer look could reveal disturbing elements.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) With the Goat exhibiting a more dominant aspect these days, you could fi nd it easier to make your case in front of even the most skeptical audience.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Take things nice and easy as you continue to build up your energy reserves for a big change that's coming with the full Hunter's Moon on Oct. 29.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Recent news from someone you trust could help you make an important decision. Also, be prepared to confront an upcoming change in a personal situation.BORN THIS WEEK: You can be fi rm in your own views, but also fl exible enough to welcome the views of others.
