incomes over the past decade, Condon said Salisbury’s success is more than constructing new public buildings.

“There is a good vibe in the community,” he said.

In a new analysis of median incomes across the state by the Boston Globe, Salisbury saw one of the highest jumps in prosperity among the 158 cities and towns studied. The full article can be found on the Salisbury’s town website.

According to the Globe analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, 51 cities and towns, or about a third, had median household income increases between the periods of 2005-2009 and 2010-2014. About two-thirds of communities saw median income decline, relative to inflation.

On the North Shore, the towns of Rowley, Newbury and Merrimack saw increases in their

Maxwell Sets New Quaker Murder Mystery HereContinued from page 1

writers and their publicists try to gain attention in a crowded market of new fiction and non-fiction works. The launches range from lectures and signings at local bookstores, like the Jabberwocky bookstore in the Tannery in Newburyport, to parties and events in various venues.

Maxwell credits her publicist Skye Wentworth with the idea of doing a historic walking tour in downtown Amesbury.

“Most authors have a book launch and most likely a book tour but, in this case, Edith invites the public to her walking book tour. She’s taking folks to the streets,” wrote Wentworth in an email.

Her seventh mystery novel, Delivering the Truth takes place against the horrific backdrop of the massive fire in 1888 on Carriage Hill in Amesbury that burned eight factories, the post and telegraph office, several stores and 20 homes, which left dozens of residents homeless.

The fire broke out at 4 p.m. in the large Babcock Carriage Co. A northeast wind swept the flames to nearby structures. Because there had been a squabble for years between Amesbury and Salisbury over annexation of properties, neither town had an adequate fire department. A cold rain prevented the fire from spreading to more buildings.

Ultimately, the carriage factories were rebuilt with brick. During the reconstruction, no workers lost their jobs, according to historical accounts.

In Delivering the Truth, Maxwell has the fire started by arson, and there are also two murders, including one of Carroll’s clients. The midwife is asked by the local police detective to report any information she gathers from her other clients. That draws the less than patient Quaker woman into the criminal investigation.

Maxwell, a Quaker who lives a few blocks from some of the old carriage factories, has Rose move into the front room of her widowed brother’s home to help take care of his children. As a midwife, she serves the mothers and newborns of the community and strikes up a courtship with a handsome Newburyport doctor.

When the arson destroys several carriage factories and murder tears the town apart, the joy in her life turns to anxiety and she is determined to solve the arson and murders. Rose asks questions of her clients and others in the community, including the famous Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier. When the investigation leads to darkness and danger, it takes all of her resourcefulness to bring the perpetrators to light.

A long-time North Shore resident, Maxwell is vice president

of the New England chapter of Sisters in Crime. She is the clerk of the Amesbury Meeting of the Society of Friends and thought up this series of novels while walking to church on Sunday morning. She is also training to be a docent at the Whittier Home.

Maxwell has also written three other series, the Local Foods Mysteries, the Lauren Rousseau Mysteries and the Country Store Mysteries. Maxwell blogs at wickedcozyauthors.com. Learn more about her books at EdithMaxwell.com.

The walking tour will begin at 1:30 p.m on Sunday, April 10th, 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. During the tour, Maxwell will offer historic facts, cultural flavor and a few excerpts from her new book.

The tour’s one mile loop will end at Crave Restaurant, near Market Square, where she will host a book party from 3 to 5 p.m.

Maxwell will also do a reading at Jabberwocky at 7 p.m. on April 8.

median incomes. Others, including Amesbury, Newburyport, Georgetown and West Newbury experienced drops in median income levels, although they were all modest.

Amesbury’s median income dropped 1.74 percent. Georgetown declined by 2.03. Newburyport had a 1.04 percent decline. And West Newbury had the largest decline in the region, down by 4.24 percent.

Across the Commonwealth, the economic recovery since the last recession has been mixed. North of Boston, 14 cities and towns had income growth, while 43 had decreases.

When asked to comment on Amesbury’s drop in median income, Evan Kenney, chief of staff to Amesbury Mayor Ken Gray, wrote: “Income statistics involve quite a few complex variables, most of which are out of the Mayor’s control. Most of this data was compiled before the Mayor began his first term.”

In Salisbury, the median household income increased from

North Shore Economic Recovery MixedContinued from page 1 $60,320 to $75,995, between

those five-year time periods.Town Manager Neil Harrington

attributed the sharp income growth to the construction of new condominium complexes, which is attracting new residents, including some Baby Boomers who come to enjoy the beach and a less expensive lifestyle. Some of the new housing complexes are restricted to residents who are at least 55 years old. These senior communities add significantly to the tax base and median income levels without adding students to the school system.

“People are downsizing in some cases, and in other cases they’re just looking to escape a higher tax burden,” Harrington told the Globe.

He agreed that Salisbury, which has struggled economically in recent decades, has seen an economic surge over the last decade. Next door to the town hall building is a new CVS drug store and other new buildings and projects are going up. New townhouses and apartments have been built near the beach.

Over the last 10 years, 569 new residential units have been built in Salisbury and more are under construction. The town with a population of about 8,500 is growing. It has added more than 300 new residents since 2010.

One of the most successful new residential complexes is 52-home development on Sawyer Lane, built nine years ago. Nearby are other similar developments that are attracting new residents like Jeannette Lazarus and her husband, Peter Edwards, empty nesters who moved to Salisbury from East

Boston. Lazarus, an artist, has embraced

her new community, joining the library board and playing a large role in the construction of the new building.

Mark Melnik, director of economic and public policy research at the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute, told the Globe, “I think what we see in some places are upper income people clustering in communities with desirable characteristics that are still reasonably close to Boston.”

------------------------------------------------------------AMESBURY - The Amesbury Council on Aging is currently recruiting 30 adults (ages 50+) to participate in a 11-week educational program to begin on April 7, 2016. The goal of this program is to empower caregiving older adults to make and maintain small but impactful changes in health behaviors. The topics that will be covered in the program include Stress Management and Yoga, Let Get Active, Easy Healthy Meals, Medication Management, Maintaining Well-Rested Nights, Healthy Relationships, Falls Prevention, and Communicating with Your Doctor. For each of these modules, we will provide basic educational materials developed from highly trusted sources, a checklist of potential next steps, and a system for tracking behaviors. Respite for your loved one- and a light supper included. Participants will earn points for positive actions and rewards (prizes & gifts cards worth $25 or $35 or even $50!) Caregivers who reside in Amesbury and surrounding communities are welcome to join this innovative program. This is the third time the Amesbury COA has offered the Aging Mastery program. What is the difference this year? C-AMP is strictly for those caring for a loved one. Often times, the caregiver cares for themselves last. This program was developed by the National Council on Aging, and is being funded by the Massachusetts Council on aging and the Executive Office of Elder Affairs. Advance registration needed. For more information or to sign up, please contact Amesbury COA Assistant Director Doreen Brothers, Sarah Melanson Simmons Collage Intern, or Mary Corcoran Salem State Intern at 978-388-8138.

Mutual Respect For AppointmentsBrighter Smiles...

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD

The first question I was asked by the grumpy person answering the phone was, “Why do you need to change your appointment?” This was quickly followed by how inconvenient it was for their office that I needed to change my appointment.

I can completely understand how difficult it is for front desk personnel to have to deal with these kinds of issues all day long. In my office, we had over 40 appointment changes last month. That is a lot of conversations about the same thing, and stressful for any staff member that deals with a busy schedule.

We all have busy lives. Things change and sometimes we have to re-manipulate our schedules to accommodate all we have to do. However, there needs to be accountability on both ends. If we have a scheduled appointment with our dentist, our hairdresser, or anyone, it is our obligation to realize that they are relying on us to be there. Giving adequate notice (preferably as far in advance as possible) of the need to change an appointment is common courtesy.

On the other end, it is important for the provider’s office to realize that people have lives outside of their appointments. While it may be inconvenient for the office to have to reschedule an

appointment, the request must be handled with respect and as much accommodation as possible.

An appointment is a commitment and we must take our commitments seriously. If you routinely have to change appointments to accommodate your busy schedule, it may make sense to make your appointments differently.

For example, dental offices typically schedule your next dental hygienist appointment in advance. It may be 3, 4, or 6 months away. One of the reasons this is done is for patients to choose and reserve a time that usually best fits their schedule. Patients are often disappointed if they call to reschedule and the appointment time options are limited.

The need to change appointments happens. As long as it is not a frequently occurring issue, most providers’ offices understand. Mutual respect builds relationships.

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to health-centered family dentistry. If there are certain topics you would like to see written about or questions you have please email them to him at [email protected]. You can view all previously written columns at www.jpeterstclairdentistry.com/blog.

Your dentist may have the best technology, gone to a top dental school, and do great clinical work, but none of those are the primary reasons people choose to stay with a dental practice or any service provider. Generally speaking, people stay with their provider because of the relationships they have built with individuals within the office.

When we have a problem, we all like the convenience of calling someone we know and are comfortable with. Whether that problem is a broken filling or needing to change an appointment, it is nice to deal with people who know us and are eager to help with solving our dilemma.

I recently had an appointment with an office that I needed to change. The appointment was a week and half away. When I called the office to change the appointment I was less than thrilled with the way I was treated. While I didn’t necessarily expect to know the person on the other end of the phone, I wasn’t expecting to feel like a criminal.

Health & Wellness

The results: Playing games dropped the risk of memory decline by 14 percent, making crafts lowered it 16 percent, socializing saw a 23 percent drop and reading cut it by 30 percent. Computer use had the greatest effect at 42 percent.

What researchers don’t know, however, is exactly how it works -- whether it’s because of the lifestyle that computers users have or because using a computer actually causes brain changes. Still to be determined: whether increased participation or computer use would yield an even bigger reduction in risk.

What does this mean for us? It means we should stay engaged, learn new things, accept

challenges, be active and go out and socialize.

We could even combine activities: Take a computer class that meets at least once a week, and afterward go out for lunch and coffee with a group of students. Or use the Internet to look up craft and hobby instructions and get ideas for new projects, or meet with a group to create crafts together. Use the Internet to sign up for news feeds and stay up on current events, or join a current events meet-up and socialize at the same time.

There are lots of possibilities, and all could have a positive outcome.

Computer Use Pays Mental DividendsSenior Scene

Using a computer just once a week can help seniors avoid memory and thinking declines by a whopping 42 percent. So says a recent Mayo clinic study.

This wasn’t a small study. Nearly 2,000 seniors participated, and all were age 70 and over. Four years earlier they had filled out a questionnaire that covered playing games, making crafts, socializing, reading magazines and computer use. Researchers then tracked them over time.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With change dominant this week, don’t be surprised to find new facts emerging that could put another slant on a situation and offer you another choice. Think it through before you decide.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) There could be some lingering problems from a previous matter that involved a decision you felt you had to make. Resolve the situation with your strong Taurean no-nonsense approach.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Gemini’s carefully made plans could be undone by someone’s unexpected decision. Getting the full story behind that surprise move can help you decide how to deal with the matter. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Recently uncovered information might put a new light on a situation you thought had been resolved. Keep an open mind about possible changes that you might have to consider.LEO (July 23 to August 22) With a potential revision of an old agreement, you can’t beat the Big Cat for knowing how to sharpen a “clause” to the best advantage. Someone close could have the news you’ve been waiting for.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Certain issues in the workplace could put you in the middle of a dispute you’d rather not deal with. Express your honest feelings before the pressure to take sides builds up.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel uneasy disagreeing with someone you’ve been close to. But your relationship should be able to withstand and even thrive when confronted with your true feelings.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A romantic situation seems to be creating more confusion than you can handle. If so, own up to your feelings. The sooner you do, the better your chances are for working things out.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With change directing the Archer’s aim, consider a second look at your plans and see where they might benefit from a revision. A workplace matter is close to a resolution.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) New contacts help you learn some important information about upcoming developments. The week calls for the Sea Goat to be more flexible than usual in a number of matters.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With both change and uncertainty in your aspect, you might feel less confident in a previous decision. That’s OK. Check it out and see where it could be modified, if necessary.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Old relationships that seemed to be sinking are buoyant again, and new relationships are benefiting from Cupid’s loving care. This could be a good time to make a major move.BORN THIS WEEK: While you prefer to tread your own path, you’ll go out of your way to help someone in need.

Empty Nesters: FREE Special Report Reveals7 Costly Mistakes to Avoid When

Selling Your Seacoast HomeSeacoast – Are you an “Empty

Nester” who needs a home for the future? Is it time to downsize or to move into another home more suitable for your glorious retirement years?

Like thousands of residents in our area, you may be discovering that after years of non-stop child traffic in and out of your doors, toys on the floor, music floating throughout, suddenly you can hear a pin drop over the quiet hum of the refrigerator. Your rooms are filled with pictures and memories of this wonderful time in your life, but there are many empty rooms gathering dust now that your children have

moved on. The freer years ahead are exciting ones to look forward to, and it’s time for you to move on as well.

If you find yourself in this situation, you’re in vast and good company. And what that means is that there are many wonderful opportunities for you to create this new chapter in your life… if you know what it takes to get the most out of the equity you’ve built up in your current home.

Nester: How to Sell the Place You Call Home” has been prepared which identifies these issues, and shows you how to steer clear of the mistakes that could cost you literally thousands of dollars.

To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.seacoastemptynesters.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order you FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-364-0289 and enter 1013. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
