Nahanter Aristana Scourtas
Earns Multiple Scholastic
Excellence Awards
My name is Jennifer
McCarthy and I am a candidate
for the open selectman’s seat. I
am so excited about the opportunity to represent the citizens of
Nahant. I feel very fortunate to
have been able to live in Nahant,
for my whole life and now have
the privilege to raise my family
here. I share 10 years of marriage with my husband, Scott,
and we have a beautiful sevenyear-old daughter, Rachel.
I am currently a teacher in
the Lynn Public School System and as many of you may already know, I am very active
in our community. Currently, I am the Digital Learning Network coordinator (video
conferencing). I arrange for my school to communicate with NASA scientists, as well as
other schools around the country, to support the student’s access to the curriculum. I
spearheaded the grant-writing team, that allowed Ford School to receive the NASA
funding for this to happen. As part of the grant, many of my colleagues, as well as
myself, have received training at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, Johnson
Space Center in Texas, Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and Kennedy Space
Center in Florida.
I am currently serving on the Recreation Commission (17 years), Golf Committee
(5 years), Fireworks Committee (10 years) and The Fourth of July Race Committee (2
years). I also served on the Conservation Commission (5 years), as well as the 150th
Anniversary Committee.
This past April, at Town Meeting, I was named The Nahant Citizen of the Year, for
Women and Wishes Inc. Hosts Boston Tea Party
on the Island July 1st
Aristana Scourtas needs a hand carrying home all
her Scholastic Excellence Awards!
This Nahant, Swampscott High School freshman, swept the awards at the Annual Student Recognition evening held at SHS. Included in the wellearned recognitions is “The Academic Excellence In
Biology Award.” Aristana will be attending Northeastern University’s COSA II Marine Biology program
this summer and will also instruct sailing for our
Nahant Sailing Program. She plans to pursue a career
in Biology. Pictured are Mom Lisa Scourtas, Aristana
Scourtas, BFF Leah Khayter and Dad Rick Scourtas.
Women & Wishes, Inc., a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, is holding a benefit
for women and children of the North Shore community on Thursday, July 1st, from 2:00
to 4:00 p.m., at the Nahant Country Club.
Hosted by Beverley Dawson, of the Nahant Country Club and Director of the North
Shore chapter of Women & Wishes, the event is geared to create community awareness
and raise funds.
Women & Wishes, Inc. has found a need among middle-class women and children
who typically don‘t qualify for federal, state, or local assistance, as they struggle through
individual challenges. The organization recognizes the lack of subsidy and intervention
alternatives for the middle-class woman faced with crisis and supports them in several
capacities. Their mission is to help the lives of women and children by helping them
advance economically, emotionally, educationally and socially. As we work together to
fulfill these needs, we positively impact the quality of life of women and children.
The event, a high tea, “Boston Tea Party on the Island” will include raffles, live
music and a silent auction.
“Please join us for a delightful afternoon full of surprises with flair. Your donations
will go to grant our first wish here on the North Shore. We can make a difference –
women helping women,” said Dawson.
Donations are $20 per person and can be purchased at www.womenandwishes.org.
For more information about the event and about Women and Wishes, please call
781-581-0515. “We can make a difference, women helping women.”

On Monday, June 7, 2010, Governor Deval Patrick joined Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Ian Bowles, Department of Conservation and Recreation
(DCR) Commissioner Richard K. Sullivan Jr., area legislators, local elected officials and
community groups, to celebrate the opening of the newly-rehabilitated Ward Bath House
and the start of construction on the Nahant Causeway in the Long Beach Reservation.
“This project will not only create jobs, but preserve and maintain an historic roadway,” said Governor Patrick.
The Long Beach Reservation is a narrow, 1.6-mile stretch of beach, connecting the
Town of Nahant to the City of Lynn and the mainland, at the Lynn rotary. Improvements
to the previously-closed Ward Bath House, which serves the Lynn Shore and Long
Beach reservations,
include asbestos and
lead abatement, a
new roof, plumbing
and electrical repairs, new doors and
improvements to the
patio area. The total
cost of this project
was $628,000.
Nahant Road, a
four-lane divided
roadway, for most of
its length, runs the
length of the Reservation. Rehabilitation of the roadway will improve sightlines and vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns at the Reservation entrance and exit, will upgrade drainage systems,
and will repair the seawall. The Patrick-Murray Administration has approved $20 million, in capital funds, for the rehabilitation.
Construction is expected to start this spring and be completed in spring 2013. “The
improvements to the roadway and beach facilities will bring lasting benefits to these
communities and the visitors who come to enjoy the reservations each year,” said Secretary Bowles.
In 2002, as part of an initiative to enhance and protect the state’s historic parkways,
the Nahant Causeway was listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the
Massachusetts Historical Commission. The proposed rehabilitation is meant to build on
that listing, strengthening the roadway’s character, utility and safety.
“We thank Governor Patrick very much for making this funding possible and
allowing this project to go forward,” said Commissioner Sullivan. “The renovated bath
house and improved causeway will improve not only safety and functional issues in the
Reservation, but also its visual quality and character. We also appreciate the support of
the Friends of Lynn and Long Beach and input from the public, which has helped us a
great deal in developing these plans.”
“These two projects are the result of many years of hard work and collaboration,”
said Sen. Thomas McGee. “As a member of the Beaches Commission in 2006, I had an
opportunity to visit and tour the Ward Bath House, with my fellow commissioners. It
was clear that the bath house needed a major renovation, which led to the Commission
recommending this investment in their final report. Additionally, after working closely
with the Nahant community, as well as state and local officials, we were able to advance
this project, which will provide a safe and attractive entranceway to the Town. I am very
pleased that the administration has shown their strong support and that these projects are
now becoming a reality.”
“This is great news for Nahant and for all the residents of the North Shore who use
the Long Beach Reservation,” said Rep. Steve Walsh. “These improvements to the Ward
Bath House and the Causeway show the commitment of Gov. Patrick and his administration to improving our most prized natural resource and will lead to increased accessibility and use, as we begin our summer season.”

The Nahant Dory Club News
The gods, who rule sailboat racing at the Dory Club,
did not show favor on the initial PHRF cruising boat race
of 2010. Zeus, god of the sky and rain, did make a cameo
appearance on June 12th, with some scattered showers,
while Aelus, god of the wind and son of Poseidon, stayed
home with his father, to watch the World Cup. The Frost
Bite Race, scheduled for June 12th, was postponed until
June 20th. The results will appear next month.
July will be a busy racing and social month at the
Dory Club. Sundays will see the Town Class and other
One Design boats racing. Tuesdays are dedicated to
adults, teaching their kids sailing, as part of the Family/
Kids Program. Thursday will combine Dory Club and
Nahant Sailing Program races, in both One Design and
PHRF boats.
In addition, the Sailing Program has reinstituted an
Adult Racing Program, using their fleet of Rhodes 19s.
Interested parties should call either Philip Kersten (781)
595-4901, or Chris Liscio (781) 595-3759.
The PHRF Fleet will hold its annual Chowder Race
on Saturday, July 3rd. The Town Class sailors will hold
the Wilson Tibbo Memorial Race the next day, July 4th.
On Friday the 16th, the Social Committee is hosting a
wine and cheese party, for all members and a Full Moon
Party on Sunday, the 25th.
The fifth annual King of Clubs Regatta will be held
on Saturday, July 24th, at the Swampscott Yacht Club.
Last year, for the first time since its inception, a club other
than the Dory Club, won the team-racing trophy. Sailors
from the Dory Club, Lynn Yacht Club and Swampscott
Yacht Club, will compete for the King of Clubs Trophy
and bragging rights, for the next twelve months. The
winner also gets the honor of hosting the event, the
following year.
A reminder that members interested in racing should
call Nick Strange (781)581-2631, for Town Class information, John Fulghum (781)599-3259, for Lasers and
Optimist Prams, and Bob Cusack (781) 581-1159, for the

Nahant Garden Club News
The Nahant Garden Club, hosted by Laurie Meagher, Jeannie Delaney, Lisa
Scourtas and Helen Clements, with helpers Betsy Barreda and Pat Adolph, organized a
wonderful Annual Meeting, at the Knights of Columbus Hall, on June 10, 2010. They
planned a spectacular raffle. Our speaker, Robin Murphy, of Wareham, absolutely
dazzled the gathering with her beautiful quilts. She made five flower arrangements to
complement the quilts which were raffled off, as were extra flowers. The meeting was
well attended and we all had a delicious lunch and a very good time. Our honored guest,
Sandi Peaslee, President of the Northeastern District of the Garden Club Federation of
Massachusetts, had a wonderful time and is enjoying the flowers she brought home.
As an update to the June Harbor Review report on the Spring Plant Sale, held on
May 29, 2010, plant sale chairwoman, Linda Jenkins, happily gives her summary. “This
year’s plant sale was a huge success, due in part to the most generous donations of plants
and seedlings from our members’ gardens. The weather was lovely, the plant donations
many and the members helped tirelessly.” She wishes to thank teacher and mentor
Marie Ford and the entire “Garden team” consisting of Lisa Perella, Joanne Delulis,
Harriet Steeves, Betsy Wachtel Barreda, Mary Jane Cusack, Sheridan Maguire, Edie
Hunnewell, Diana Brandi, Pam Motley, Nancy Whitman, Joanne Bryanos, Jeannie
Delaney, Muriel Webster, Helen Clements, Deb Gates, Suzanne Hamill, Lissa Stempek
and M.L.Cort, for her unique photography. Linda did a wonderful job organizing a plant
sale, which broke all records for revenue, even as she planned her daughter’s wedding of
June 12th. If she has forgotten to thank anyone, she can be forgiven.
During the plant sale, Maddie Davis and her helpers did a wonderful job for the
Nahant Memorial Day observance, by making beautiful wreaths for the cemetery. We are
grateful to her for making these donations every year.
Finally, plans are in progress for the Fall garden event/plant sale. The event,
Porches, Patios and Peaceful Decks, will take place on September 11, 2010, from 10:00
to 4:00, rain or shine. Details will follow.

Lori Nugent, Shawn Cummings and a team of wonderful, dedicated parent volunteers,
planned a grand day for students and teachers. The sixth-graders particularly enjoyed the

Mt. Vernon Restaurant supplied the grill, and the DPW supported us with the logistics of
the day. Thank you for the continuing support to our school.

Presidential Academic Excellence Awards. Simon Klee was presented the Presidential
Achievement Award.
The Johnson School was awarded a $4,085 grant from the Hardscrabble Education
Fund, a fund of the Essex County Community Foundation (ECCF). Johnson School will
use the funds to Integrate Technology in the Math Curriculum. These funds will purchase an Eno board, for the 5/6 grades math program. We are most appreciative of the
funds, which will allow us to broaden our technology base. The Hardscrabble Education
Fund promotes and supports academic achievement in pre-collegiate, public schools in
Beverly, Lynn, Marblehead, Salem, Swampscott and Nahant, by issuing grants to teachers, schools, or districts, primarily in the fields of Mathematics, Science and English.
ECCF was established in January, of 1999, to increase local philanthropy and provide
support to non-profit organizations, located in and serving Essex County. The Foundation offers all the philanthropic, grant-making, financial and tax expertise needed to
engage in effective, inspired, charitable giving. ECCF stewards over 80 charitable funds
and has awarded over $8 million in grants to local organizations. To learn more about
ECCF, please visit www.eccf.org.
Two Johnson School students, Jackie and Thomas Frisoli, took advantage of the
beautiful weather and parade watchers, to have a lemonade stand, during Monday’s
Memorial Day Parade. The brother and sister team raised $70, for equipment for the
Physical Education program. Mrs. Spencer will put the money to good use, buying
equipment she will use next year. Thank you Thomas, a first grade student in Ms.
Brown’s class, and Jackie, a third grader in Mrs. Durant’s class, for donating your time
and effort to our phys. ed. program.
With generous donations from the PTO, our 6th grade students were all able to
participate in a new CPR program this year, led by our school nurse, Cheryl DiLisio and
our Phys. Ed teacher, Mrs. Spencer. The students worked hard to learn the information
and techniques and received an American Heart Association certification card, valid for
two years! Also, with funding from the PTO, many staff members were able to receive
First Aid Training, under the instruction of Mrs. Spencer. We now have 12 staff members
certified in First Aid and 15 CPR/AED certified staff! Thank you, PTO, for funding
these staff initiatives.
Nahant Police Officer Armand Conti visited our school, early in June, to discuss
safety with all of our students at the Johnson School. He has been working as a liaison
with our school crisis team and has been compiling a lot of information and refining his
technological skills, to present some great safety-related information to our students. The
students were very attentive that day and asked a lot of really good questions. Some of
his topics were beach, boating and water safety, bicycle and pedestrian safety, traffic
rules and the Massachusetts Helmet Law, internet/computer and cell-phone awareness
and safety, cyber bullying/cyber safety, and communicating with others with courtesy.
We hope to expand on these topics and have him present during the school year
again. When you see Officer Conti around town this summer, or anytime, say “hello”
and thank him for all of his hard work and interest in helping us at our school!
The last day of school was Thursday, June 17th. Students and staff will hopefully
enjoy a happy, safe and restful summer!

Nahant Teachers Defer Negotiations
The Nahant Teachers’ Association (NTA), has agreed
to continue with their current contract, due to expire this
August, until August 31, 2011. This decision by the NTA
is a very significant step in assisting with the fiscal year
2011 budget constraints, as it maintains the current salary
schedules and working conditions, for one additional year.
The NTA Co-Presidents, Ms. Peever and Ms. Durant,
attended the May 25th School Committee meeting, at
which time the Nahant School Committee voted unanimously to approve this extension.
This joint action allows the Johnson School to
continue its current programming, without the major
interruptions and disruptions facing many communities, in
Massachusetts. This decision, combined with Town
Meeting approval of the school budget for 2010-2011,
will allow the initiatives in the new, five-year, Strategic
Plan, to move forward on its current timetable.

Exercise After-Burn
By Sallee Slagle, Director, Dance Dimensions
You may have heard that you continue to burn calories after exercise. There are
even claims that one type of exercise gives you the “burn” longer and many claim you
will burn fat after your workout. There is little research to support these specific claims,
though. Research has shown that exercise can increase your calorie burn, even after you
stop, but no one can say if these are fat calories, or carbohydrate. To date, limited research exists, but findings have revealed different factors that influence “after-burn.”
First of all, let’s define “after-burn” as the amount of calories continuing to be
burned after an exercise session or workout period. It is measured by the amount of
additional oxygen consumed while in exercise recovery, returning to normal resting, preexercise levels. The body can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 48 hours to fully recover. The amount of calories and the duration of the burn is variable and subject to
several factors that have been identified.
In cardiovascular exercise, intensity is the factor that has the greatest effect on afterburn. As intensity during exercise is increased so is the after-burn duration and amount
of calories. Lower intensity activities still produced over 3 hours of after-burn while high
intensity produced over 10 hours. If a person is “fit” the body will recover faster. Please
note that exercise intensity should be monitored and increased only when you are physically ready. Please consult your physician especially if you have any medical conditions.
Also, duration of exercise has an effect on the after-burn. The longer you exercise,
the more calories continued to burn for longer duration post-exercise. So aerobic exercise intensity and duration influences the after-burn effect.
Studies also showed that intervals of intense aerobic training, such as 15 minutes, 2
times, produced greater burn than, 30 minutes in one session. Also 1 minute high intensity, done 20 times in a workout period, also showed increased results.
When lifting weights, it was found that lifting heavier weights with less repetitions,
produced the greatest afterburn. This is also how you create more muscle, which may, or
may not, be desirable. Women who don’t want to have “bulky” muscles, should stick to
lighter weights with more repetitions. Weight lifting, or any type of resistance training,
such as with tubing/elastic bands, water resistance, or even use of body weight and
gravity, should be a part of every fitness regime. Building muscle, or if your older,
maintaining muscle mass, is very important. It helps keep metabolism high. It is recommended to do resistance training 2x a week as well as cardiovascular and stretching
exercises.
If you exercise regularly, you are already wise. This information is to keep you
educated, as new claims may arise and can be confusing. All exercise includes some
recovery time and your body continues to burn additional calories, during this recovery
period. If your exercise routine is at a plateau, try adding greater challenge, but always
do so gradually, at your own pace and fitness level. Be a wise with your exercise.
Conway Joins Walk for Respect
The Jack Conway Realtor, Swampscott office sales team, recently took part in the
3rd Annual Community Walk for Respect. As part of the Swampscott Task Force for
Respect for Human Differences and the Northshore
Communities, the Conway
agents greeted all the walkers
at a table.
“This was an outstanding event and a chance for us
to see all of our friends in the
North Shore community,”
said manager Tim Knowlton.
“Conway is a company that’s
committed to getting involved
and this a great opportunity
for that.”
Knowlton was joined by
agents Ronnie Northrop, Lisa
Scourtas, Marlene Badalato
and Paula Bouchard. All of
the proceeds of the event
went back to the schools and the community toward support of anti-bias education.

Weekend Warrior
Q & A with North Shore Physical Therapy
By Susan Cadigan, LMT, CNMT, NCTMB,
Nahant Therapeutic Massage
By Susan Finigan, NSPT
Therapeutic massage often blends different applications and techniques of body work, to help eliminate pain,
dysfunction, stress and tension. The goal is to alleviate the
discomfort and allow room for the body (and mind) to
heal. By combining the different styles, a thorough, layerby-layer lifting of tension and sources of pain and discomfort can be had, in a comfortable and soothing manner.
With the warm weather here, our weekend warrior activities have increased and we tend to do too much, too soon,
leaving us to wonder the next day, “What was I thinking?”
Not enough rest between workouts can lead to
chronic overload in the muscles. Frequently, we get knots,
or spasms, in our legs and shoulders, from overuse and if
not massaged, or left on their own, they are prone to
become hypertonic. A hypertonic muscle is a muscle that
is constantly working—sort of held in a sustained contraction. This soft tissue dysfunction can lead to other nagging
issues, over time. The distressed muscle tissue consumes
more oxygen and energy and gathers more nerve irritating
waste products (lactic acid). Because the muscle is not
pumping and performing normally, the circulation is
decreased and the muscle starts to harden (ischemia),
which begins another cycle of pain and discomfort. The
knot, or hypertonic area, tends to pull on the attachments
to the supporting tissues and ligaments, as well as the
joint capsule. The increased and uneven pressure can
create excessive wear in the joint and speed up degeneration. Muscles that are too tight, or knotted, can compress
nerves that travel between, or through, the area and can
trigger feelings of pins and needles, or buzzing-tingling
sensations.
When working on an area that feels too hard, or
fibrous, a minute or so of gentle warming to the area, with
Swedish techniques, is applied. The knots are then gently
milked, plied apart and detangled, with the slow, deep
neuromuscular techniques. To encourage the muscle to
regain its length and deactivate the contraction, the tissue
is nudged slowly and deeply, by adding the myofascial
mobilization along-side the neuromuscular therapy. The
therapeutic approach is like having a good conversation.
One must listen, observe and respond, with full attention
and awareness.
Thank you for entrusting me with yourselves and
loved ones. I am truly grateful. A safe and happy summer
to you.

Q. I need to find an alternative to walking on land, because my knees and hips are
hurting when I walk on land. What can I do to stay fit?
A. Water reduces the effects of gravity, provides support around the submerged
body, and decreases compression forces on the joints and spine. Aquatic physical therapy
is a comprehensive therapeutic approach, that uses aquatic exercises designed to aid in
the rehabilitation of various conditions and medical diagnoses. Each individualized
program consists of specific components: warm-up, stretching, muscular strength and
endurance, cardiovascular, and a cool-down, or relaxation. The therapist and patient
establish goals and develop a plan with emphasis on an independent program. This
program is used outside their aquatic therapy visits, for continued strengthening and pain
management. Once their therapy is completed, many patients are able to transition to
water exercise programs offered at various aquatic facilities, or continue to work on their
own exercise program. The benefits of aquatic therapy include: the promotion of muscular relaxation, reduction of pain sensitivity, decrease in muscle spasm, reduction of
gravitational forces to assist with walking, increase the ease of joint movement, increase
in muscular strength, increase peripheral circulation, increased respiratory muscle
strength, increased cardiac function and improved body awareness, balance and trunk
stability
Water provides buoyancy, allowing joints to move more freely and also provides a
force (resistance) to move against. Moving against the resistance of the water can improve strength in weak muscles. Due to hydrostatic pressure, respiratory muscles are
strengthened by working against the resistance of the water during inspiration. This same
force helps expiration, key for asthma and emphysema sufferers. Dilation of blood
vessels increases in warm water, increasing venous return and moving tissue fluids
through the injured structures. Circulation is increased by this redistribution of blood to
the extremities.
Many orthopedic conditions respond well to aquatic therapy. These include arthritis, low-back pain, joint replacements, knee, shoulder and ankle surgeries and shoulder
injuries. Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, stroke and balance/gait disturbances, can benefit from aquatic therapy, as well. Fibromyalgia syndrome patients may
be able to successfully exercise in water, due to its gentler environment. They can gain
muscle strength and endurance, receive pain relief and experience relaxation of muscle
spasms.
If you have questions concerning back pain, balance, or other physical concerns,
discuss this with your doctor, or physical therapist. The water may be a gentler environment for you to gain strength, experience less pain, and reach your rehabilitation goals.
North Shore Physical Therapy has been offering aquatic physical therapy for 3 years
and currently sees patients Tuesday and Thursday mornings, by appointment. Please see
your doctor for a prescription and schedule your evaluation with our office. If you have
questions on aquatic therapy, please call our office in Marblehead, 781-631-8250.

Letter to the Editor
On the morning of June 12th, I visited the Nahant
Community Garden, behind the Johnson School. For
those who may not be aware of the existence of the
garden: It was established through a Community Preservation Act grant of $10,000, approved by Town Meeting
voters, in 2009. Under the leadership of Paul Caira and a
small, but dedicated committee, the garden has literally
borne fruit (or at least produce). Apparently, the day I
visited, was the first day on which vegetables could be
harvested. It was impressive to see the number of residents who came to view the garden and obtain vegetables.
In my opinion, the system of giving back to the residents
of Nahant (most of whom gave small contributions to be
used for the garden, in the future) demonstrated a most
appropriate usage of CPA funds.
It is my understanding that residents can obtain small
amounts of available produce every Saturday, at 11:00
a.m. (donations optional).
I encourage all Nahanters to visit our Community
Garden and thank Paul and the members of the committee, for providing us with this latest example of the
Nahant spirit. Thank you, Bernie Yadoff
The Elizabeth
Peterson Palmer Scholarship, awarded annually

school senior, was
presented to Samuel
Dunbar Livingston
during the Nahant
Village Church Sunday
worship service on June
13. Sam, son of Dunbar
and Mary Livingston, 60
Wharf Street, Nahant,
graduated from St.
George’s School in
Middletown, Rhode
Island.
Sam was baptized
at the Nahant Village
Church, attended Sunday
School through grammar
school and junior high
school, and served as an
acolyte, junior deacon
and scripture reader.
For the past four
years, Sam attended St. George’s School, an independent boarding school in
Middletown, Rhode Island, where he was an Honor Roll student every semester. Sam
was designated an “AP Scholar with Honor” by the College Board, recognizing high
scores on four Advanced Placement exams - Latin, Biology, English, and US History.
Sam is a musician, studying piano for more than 10 years. He also sang tenor in the
St. George’s chapel choir. His performance of Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 was
recognized at St. George’s with an Arete Award, given by the school for exceptional
merit.
Sam was a varsity athlete in tennis and squash, and he served as captain of the
Varsity Tennis team. He was also a Prefect, responsible for counseling dormitory residents and participating in management of the dorm. Sam was Managing Editor of the
school newspaper - the Red & White. He started as a reporter and he worked his way up
to Managing Editor in his senior year, editing most of the stories, helping to lay out the
paper and continuing to write feature articles.
Sam will attend Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, in the fall. He plans to
major in Public Policy and Law, an interdisciplinary program, examining how legal,
economic, political and social systems interact.

Offshore Oil & Gas Drilling
by Jack Clarke, Massachusetts Audubon Society
Mass Audubon opposes the exploration, development and production of oil
and gas on the federally-controlled Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), off the Massachusetts coast. We believe such activities would threaten critical ocean wildlife
and habitat and would present an unacceptable risk to the fishery resources of one
of the world’s premier fishing grounds, at Georges Bank. In addition to Georges
Bank, we believe these activities should be precluded from offshore areas, within
100 miles of the Bay State coast, as well as the Stellwagen Bank National Marine
Sanctuary (map attached.) Georges Bank, Stellwagen Bank and nearshore ocean
waters are the most sensitive and important marine resources to the environment
and economy of the Bay State and must be protected.
This position is consistent with Mass Audubon’s long and active history on
this critical conservation issue, dating to the early 1980s, when limited exploratory drilling took place on the OCS and federal plans were advanced for a more
expansive drilling program.
However since that time, Congress and various Presidents have placed temporary bans on offshore drilling. Mass Audubon has supported those bans and
when they expired or were revoked, we advocated for their reinstatement.
In light of the Spring 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil crises, Senator Scott Brown
and Congressman Ed Markey, will be filing legislation, to address offshore oil
and gas drilling, along with spill-prevention measures. Mass Audubon will work
with our leaders in Washington, DC, to ensure that Massachusetts ocean waters
are fully protected.

Nahant: A Garden of Art
Picture the perfect summer day in Nahant. A gentle sea breeze whispering through
the tall grass along the beach. The gulls singing overhead as a boat’s engine is heard in
the distance, muted by the gently rolling surf. Add to that engaging music, lively conversation, fine food, fine wine and an inspiring location. Finish the thought with original
works of art featuring Nahant’s natural beauty done by notable Boston and North Shore
artists and you have an unforgettable experience by the sea.
Nahant resident and former gallery owner, Laura Erlich, has invited several localand nationally-known artists, to create on canvas a collection of bold and exciting seascapes of Nahant. These spectacular pieces of art will be for sale on the day of this event
with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Society’s oral history project. The artwork
will be presented in various sizes, mediums and price ranges. One priceless piece of art
will be offered at auction during the event, created for this event and generously donated
by internationally known artist Norman Laliberte. “Nahant: A Garden of Art” will be
held on Sunday July 25, 2010, from 2 - 5 p.m. on the grounds of the Laliberte home at 51
Cliff Street, courtesy of Laurel and Norman LaLiberte. Admission is $25 per person. For
reservations, please send your check to the Nahant Historical Society at 41 Valley Road
by Wednesday July 21st.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Society’s Oral History Program, “Tell us your
story.” Now in its 31st year, over 200 oral histories have been recorded by Calantha Sears
as the interviewer. These priceless audiotapes have been copied into digital format for
safekeeping, and the task of transcribing from audio to written form recently begun by
Suzanne Hamill, the Society’s very able Clerk. Visitors to the Historical Society can
enjoy listening to the tapes thanks to the set up provided by Robert Wilson, who also
implemented the digital transfer. The oral history conservation project is under the
guidance of Board member Chris Matthias.

SWIM Shorts

Safer Waters in Massachusetts (SWIM) will meet on Monday, July 12th, at
7:00 p.m., at Northeastern University Marine Science Center, East Point, Nahant.
All are welcome and light refreshments will be served.
This is the time of year that SWIM was made for. We literally can go for a
SWIM and we are down there on the sand and along the rocks, appreciating and
observing our environment, in an intimate way that most of us don’t do yearround. So for Nahant’s environmental advocates, summer is a time to carefully
and caringly assess our course, for the following seasons. At our July 12th meeting, we’ll be looking at what SWIM can do, to think globally, act locally.
The gusher in the Gulf of Mexico has been on everyone’s mind. I can’t think
of it as a “spill” — it’s more than that. Once, when I was a little girl in Oklahoma,
I saw a gusher, a real gusher, a black fountain dancing into the sky. I hope never
again to see a gusher — or a tornado. Vive Nahant!
The Massachusetts Audubon Society has released an excellent statement on
oil and gas drilling in Massachusetts. See the MassAudubon article in this issue of
the Harbor Review.
Is it my imagination, or is energy subsuming environment? The cabinet-level
position in Washington is now “Energy and the Environment.” The same thing
has happened on the state level with the creation of the Massachusetts Executive

Office of Energy and the Environment. Critical as renewable energy is to protecting the environment, energy alone won’t take the place of saving forests from
clearcutting, saving fish from overfishing, saving birds by saving marshland,
slowing down human population growth and protecting our parks from both
neglect and overuse.
I’d like to see a new Civilian Conservation Corps, to put young people to
work restoring our parks, rebuilding our infrastructure and cleaning up the mess in the Gulf. A much better boost to the economy
than doling out welfare and rescuing banks!

DREAMS ARE NOT BLACK
OR WHITE
In the old days,
Black women
Brought up white children.
Today, I,
A white girl, babysit
A black child,
My little, curly Cherub.
Her eyes are bright
Like May sunshine.
Her skin is soft as silk.
When she smiles
Violet roses
Flush her cheeks.
She dreams of becoming a pianist,
And I—a surgeon.
(Dreams are not black or white)
Little brown fingers close
Over my pink ones
Creating
A butterfly with striped wings.
By our command
The butterfly
Begins to fly
And with it
our dreams...
ROZI THEOHARI, 1998
TAKE ALTERNATIVE ROUTE AND GET “$5,000”
Well Islanders, it looks like we be sportin’ a new BECAUSEWAY (because we
definitely need one). Our crack reporter, Mae I. Barjen went to the informational meeting
at our Town Hall, on June 2nd and left with quite a smile. THE GOOD NEWS: the new
causeway will give our little rock quite a positive first impression for visitors and residents alike, featuring new drainage, center barriers, green areas and antique light poles
with no windmills adorning them. You all can thank Isle of Nahant Pate‘ CEO, Claude
Mywhey, for convincing the DCR to forget about those cute little windmills, in order to
save our fine, feathered friends that could enter smiling and exit as extra lean fine grind.
(The Tudor Cocktail Ice Co. feels Mr. Mywhey had an ulterior motive for his concern of
our fine feathered friends, less geese for his pate‘ manufacturing plant located in our
Preservation Trust Lifeboat Station).
THE BAD NEWS: It’s gonna take “3” years for this project, (going by past history
of other state run projects aka the big dig), but we know they have done their homework
and we’re sure it will come in on time? The state engineers have even researched the
traffic impact and have asked us to SEEK ALTERNATE ROUTE when entering and
exiting our island.
The Tudor Cocktail Ice Co has, as usual, come to the aid of our concerned residents. The Tudors will give a 3-year FREE PASS for unlimited rides on the Town Transit
System, run by TUDOR TRANSIT AUTHORITY, located at the corner of Willow Rd.
and Wharf St. The system connects Nahant with Lynn, the Commuter Rail and the Blue
Line. The pass will also include unlimited complimentary visits to the Tudor Transit
Authority “Club Cah,” featuring the new recipe: 24 oz. COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO.
Along with the pass, THE FIRST 150 ISLANDERS THAT DONATE $100 TO
THE MITCHELL’S CAHNAH BLOCK PARTY, WILL RECEIVE A RAFFLE TICKET.
THERE ARE ONLY 150 TICKETS SOLD (GREAT ODDS, A 30 TO 1 SHOT).
The 1st PRIZE IS $5,000, 2nd PRIZE IS $1,000, AND THERE ARE THREE 3rd
PRIZES OF $500.
THE RAFFLE WILL BE DRAWN ON THE NIGHT OF THE 6th ANNUAL
BLOCK PARTY AT 9:00 p.m., ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 5TH. ALL THE PROCEEDS FOR THE EVENT WILL BE SPLIT EVENLY BETWEEN 5 ISLAND KID
GROUPS (Nahant Little League, Nahant Sailing Program, Nahant Soccer League, the
Johnson School PTO and the Nahant Education Foundation).

In Memory
John “Jack” T. McCarthy
of McCarthy Glass
March 15, 1929 - June 20, 2010
John T.” Jack” McCarthy, 81 years, of Nahant, died at his residence on Sunday,
June 20, 2010, surrounded by his loving family. He was the devoted husband of the
late Agnes M. (Shanahan) McCarthy, who died in February of this year, after having
shared 61 years of loving marriage.
John was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, son of the late Denis and Julia
(Hennessey) McCarthy, both of Ireland. He was raised and educated in Lynn. Having
attended Sacred Heart Elementary and St. Mary’s Boys High School, he graduated
from Lynn Classical High School in 1947. During his senior year, he was the lead-off
batter and center fielder for the famous Lynn Classical state championship baseball
team, whose title game was played at Fenway Park, where he played alongside the
legendary Harry Agganis and under the leadership of Coach William I. Joyce.
Mr. McCarthy was a founder of McCarthy Glass Company, Inc. of Lynn, over 60
years ago, where he continued to work alongside his daughter and son-in-law, until
his death. He was a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Knights of
Columbus. He was a member and past president of the Shoe City Golf League, where
he fostered many lasting friendships.
Mr. McCarthy was a most contented resident of the Town of Nahant for the past
43 years.
Mr. McCarthy is survived by his daughter, Colleen M. Powers and her husband,
Timothy, of Lynn, his son, Attorney Kevin S. McCarthy and his wife, Susan
(Lombard) McCarthy, of Nahant, as well as his grandson, Paul T. Powers and his
wife, Kristin (Connick) Powers, of Lynn and his great-grandson, Trevor J. Powers,
also of Lynn. He was the brother of the late Dennis McCarthy, Mary Dunn, Helen
Schnurbush, Rita Whelan and Clare Williams. He was the uncle to numerous nieces
and nephews.
His funeral was held on Friday, June 25, 2010, followed by a funeral mass in St.

was raised in Nahant. He was a graduate of
Lynn Classical High School, Class of 1975.
He was employed as a machinist, for United Welding and General Electric Co.,
for several years, before starting his own carpeting business, Ryan’s Rug. He was
later the founder and operator of Rymar Flooring. Kevin was a hard-working, devoted craftsman, who loved his work and proudly passed his ambitions down to his
son, Ryan.
As a young man, he was an avid and talented athlete. He loved being outdoors
and enjoyed the ocean and camping, joys he shared with his children. He was a lover

Jen McCarthy for Nahant
(Continued from page 1.) 2010. In addition to my town
responsibilities, I am a Girl Scout Leader. I was named
Volunteer of the Year, for the Ocean Bay Girl Scout
Council. Being a Girl Scout Leader is one of my favorite
things. Not only does it allow me time to spend with my
daughter, it allows me to teach young girls about the
importance of community service and being involved in
the town, in which they live. I am really proud to say that
I’ve spent almost half of my life, so far, engaged in our
community.
My education began by attending all three Nahant
Schools: J.T. Wilson, Valley Road and Johnson. I was in
the first eighth-grade class to attend Swampscott, for
middle and high school. Afterwards, I attended Salem
State College, graduating with a degree in Elementary
Education. I worked at the Johnson School for 5 years,
first as an aide in the kindergarten and first grade classrooms, and then as a Title One Teacher. I have spent the
last 12 years teaching in the City of Lynn.
I know how hard families of Nahant work to just stay
afloat. I am the daughter of lobstermen and the granddaughter of a sailor. I know the importance of the Wharf
to our community. I am the wife of a construction worker.
I understand the delicate balance between progress and
conservation. Finally, and most importantly, I am a parent.
I understand and share the concerns that many of the
parents in town have about the Johnson School. I share
your concern for our children’s safety and know the
importance of quality programming and education for our
children.
I have an innate knowledge of Nahant and feel
that I have a lot to offer the town. Anyone, who has ever
worked in the public school system, can tell you that
accomplishing great things, with little resources, is a job
requirement. Over the past five years, I have written and
received many grants, to make my students and school
succeed in these tough financial times. I would like to
explore more grant writing opportunities for the Town of
Nahant. There is money out there, we just need to go and
get it. As we move through the 21st century, we are seeing
that the world is changing and it is changing very fast.
Amazing advancements in technology as well as in
alterative energy are being made daily. Our country is
facing financial chaos; foreclosures and unemployment
are at an all time high. We need to address these problems
as a community and be proactive in our approach. An
issue that is really close to home and will affect us all, is
the causeway project. Our elected officials will need to
monitor this project very closely and be in constant
communication with the Department of Conservation and
Recreation. We must communicate to them the needs and
wants of our townspeople.
After seventeen years of service to the town, I still
want to do more for Nahant. Running for selectman
allows me to further my commitment to our town. As your
selectman, I promise to listen to each and every citizen of
Nahant. I want to hear what you think about our town,
what works and what may need improvement. I promise
to maintain the trust and respect of others and to act in the
most ethical manner at all times, as well as to hold all
municipal officials, employees and volunteers to the same
high ethical standards.
While my family has been serving Nahant for generations, I think my dedication speaks for itself. I am a
Nahanter. I am willing to put politics aside and do what is
best for our town. As the election nears, I would ask you
to consider me, Jennifer McCarthy, as the Town of
Nahant’s next selectmen. Thank you.

Are you at home and not able to do it all anymore?
There are options for you to get assistance and remain at home. We all know most prefer to live at home.
These familiar surroundings provide comfort, security and stability. Not only do people recover more quickly
at home, there is less chance of acquiring a “supergerm” in one’s own kitchen. Friends and relatives can drop
in when they like, without having to adhere to visiting times that some other settings impose.
So, when you make the choice to remain at home with some assistance, make sure to find the services
that will meet your needs. The best way to ensure this is through a dependable, knowledgeable and experienced care-giver, that is assigned to you, and is there to keep you stay safe and comfortable in your own
home. So, how do you find that person? Do you hire privately, or do you use an agency?
How do I find a caregiver? In tough financial times like these, we all want to save money. While on the
surface hiring a caregiver directly may seem less expensive there are things you might want to consider. If
you hire directly, make sure you understand your responsibilities:
* Conduct a hiring interview, check employment references and conduct a criminal background check.
* Withhold all mandated taxes on wages.
* Purchase liability insurance, worker’s compensation, unemployment insurance and non-owned automobile insurance if your caregiver is driving the client.
* Understand your needs and the level of skill required for the caregiver.
* Provide supervision to the worker.
* Develop a back up plan when the worker is not available.
What are the benefits of using a home care agency? When you work with a home care agency, the
agency will be responsible for the hiring process, which includes reference and criminal background checks,
and employment authorization. The agency is also responsible for paying worker’s compensation insurance,
taxes (social security, federal and state) and professional/general liability bonding. MOST important, the
agency will send a skilled nurse, to develop a customized care plan, to meet the client’s needs, supervise and
train the caregiver. Some agencies with nursing staff can provide case management services, coordinate
services with other providers, and change a plan of care, as the client’s needs change. In addition, the agency
will handle the caregiver’s schedule, including replacement coverage for sick, or vacationing, workers. The
agency works for you and should anything come up, the agency should be available by phone 24-hours-a-day,
365 days-a-year.
What to look for in a home care agency? As each situation is different, only you can decide what is right
for you and your family. For more information visit the National Private Duty Association, at http://
www.privatedutyhomecare.org.
