failed to win enough votes to allow the town to borrow the funds needed to replace an aging Town Hall and a Police Station that has so many serious problems it could be condemned at any time.

Last fall, the Town Meeting approved the plans to build a new $11.5 million Town Hall and Police Station,

but the proposal to authorize the town to issue bonds to finance the construction failed by 39 votes at the ballot box.

Police officers and several town department employees, including the building inspector, operate now out of a group of trailers that take up

Plant (RMLP) has received national recognition for achieving exceptional electric reliability in 2015. The recognition comes from the American Public Power Association (APPA)—a trade group in Washington, D.C., that represents more than 2,000 not-for-profit, community-owned electric utilities such as RMLP.

“This honor recognizes utilities that are statistically thriving when it comes to reliability,” said APPA Senior Vice President, Engineering Services Michael Hyland.

APPA took RMLP’s reliability data compiled through its eReliability Tracker Service and compared it to the top quartile of system outage duration from

national reliability data collected by the Energy Information Administration—an independent agency that collects, analyzes and disseminates national energy data.

“We work hard to keep the lights on day in and day out,” said Daniel Folding, General Manager at RMLP. “It’s nice to see that hard work pay off with this kind of recognition.”

It is only through the guidance and co-operation of the Municipal Light Board and the devotion to duty and good work of our employees that we are able to continue consistent reliability at RMLP.

Concerts May Save New England ChurchesContinued from page 1Congregational Church will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day a day late with Dervish, a County Sligo Irish band that has been exciting audiences worldwide with its Celtic music for more than 25 years.

Down Rte. 1A, Newbury’s First Parish Church is also hosting a concert that night with New Hampshire band, the Soggy Po’ Boys, a New Orleans flavored octet, which describes its music as “a lively blend of fun and insanity.”

Churches have been used for a variety of uses other than holding religious services. Some have closed and been turned into businesses, particularly restaurants, but also bookstores, wineries and entertainment facilities. Others like the Methodist Church in Byfield have been sold and have been or will be converted into residences. One at the Rensselear Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY has been transformed into a fraternity house.

In an era of declining church membership and Sunday worship service attendance in New England, church leadership seems increasingly interested in using the church buildings on other days than Sundays to generate revenue to maintain the church buildings and grounds. New England, which has been described as “the least churched region in America,” has a lot of architecturally distinctive church buildings that are

struggling to survive. Bucking the trend is the Next

Level Church, which opened its fourth venue offering two services on Sunday mornings in Salisbury’s Cinemagic movie theater.

Some churches like the First Church in Cambridge advertises on its web site that it offers several large spaces, including the sanctuary, for lease.

“Thank you for your interest in using space at First Church in Cambridge. FCC offers beautiful spaces for your concert, performance or rehearsal,” its web site states.

Others are creating their own events to bring in people and revenue. The Belleville Roots Music Series, sponsored by Newburyport 5 Cents Savings Bank, Institution for Savings and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, has been doing that successfully since December of 2010.

One of the stated missions of popular music series is to raise funds to restore and maintain the historic 1867 Belleville Meetinghouse and adjacent Fiske Chapel complex at 300 High Street in Newburyport.

“We hope that the Meetinghouse and the adjacent complex will continue to serve as gathering places for years to come,” the organization’s web site states.

Concert goers this week are in for a treat.

Dervish, playing in Newburyport,

is an Irish traditional music group that the BBC Radio 3 described as “an icon of Irish music”.The band is at the top of its genre and has been awarded almost every important industry award in Irish folk music both at home in Ireland and abroad.

Joining Dervish as a special guest on this U.S. tour is the legendary Irish fiddle player Kevin Burke, recipient of the National Heritage Fellowship, whose music is also rooted in the Sligo tradition.

The concert begins at 8 p.m. Tickets for Dervish at $30 for adults and $11.50 for students.

For tickets or more information, visit http://www.bellevillechurch.org/roots.php.

At the First Parish church the Soggy Po’ Boys Concert will offer up a lively evening filled with a repertoire that includes New Orleans standards, spirituals, contemporary music and swing tunes.

The Soggy Po’ Boys, as you would expect, were born on Mardi Gras in 2012. Residing in Dover, NH, the Po’ Boys have been honing their craft every Tuesday night, first at the late Barley Pub, and now at Sonny’s Tavern in Dover.

The concert starts at 7 p.m. Advance tickets for Soggy Po’ Boys concert are $19, and can be purchased at: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2226702. Tickets are $20 at the door.

much of the parking on the Town Hall property.

What is not clear is which of two proposals, recommended by the Municipal Building Committee, will be presented to the town leaders and the voters. One would be for a scaled-back, two-story building that includes the Town Hall departments and the Police Station. The other would be for a renovated Town Hall and a separate Police Station.

On March 22, a joint meeting is scheduled of most of the town leadership, including the Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee, the Capital Planning Committee, the Planning Board and the Municipal Building Committee, to hear and give guidance to the building committee on what proposal will be presented to the Town Meeting on April 26 and to the voters on May 10.

Last week, the Board of Selectmen agreed unanimously to place a flier in the tax bills to all property owners explaining the need for a new Town Hall and Police Station.

Municipal Building Committee chair Eric Svahn said he hopes that the new proposal for a 9,000 square foot police station and renovations to Town Hall will come in at a cost

Town Tries Again to Build Municipal BuildingsContinued from page 1

of about $8 million, instead of the $11.5 million that was narrowly defeated.

Svahn noted that a 9,000 square foot police station would be half the size of the new station Salisbury police department is building on Beach Road.

Last week he had not received the projected costs from the architects and cost estimators. “We seem to be stuck in a little bit of mud,” he said. “We are running out of time to put together all of this information.”

Svahn, who has chaired the Municipal Building Committee for three years, said the charge the Selectmen gave his committee was to solve the problems of Town Hall and the Police Station as economically as possible, but to make the solution is a long-term one.

Short-term fixes or delaying construction of new buildings, he said, will only cost the town more in the future.

Town Hall, which once was a Grange Hall building, received a facelift a few years ago when the town called on Essex County prisoners for labor to save money. What would have been about a $200,000 refurbishment cost more like $50,000, Svahn said.

But that approach won’t work this time, he said. The problems with Town Hall include its lack of accessibility for the handicapped, mold and insect infestations in the basement and a leaking roof. There is also a lack of space for employees, who now work in the trailers.

Svahn hopes the renovations to Town Hall will top out at less than $1 million.

The problems with the Police Station are much more “dire,” he said. The building is unsafe, unhealthy and its communication and computer systems need to be upgraded.

Undecided yet is whether the Fire Department, a separate non-profit organization, will be included in the plans for a new building.

Tell Your Dentist You SnoreBrighter Smiles...

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD

condition that occurs when your muscles relax during sleep, allowing soft tissue to collapse and block the airway. As a result, repeated breathing pauses occur, which often reduce your oxygen levels. These breathing pauses are followed by brief awakenings that disturb your sleep.

Common signs of OSA include snoring and gasping or choking sounds during sleep. Like snoring, OSA is more common in men, but it can most definitely occur in women too, especially during and after menopause. Having excess body weight, a narrow airway, or misaligned jaw, all increase the risk of OSA.

Treating OSA is incredibly important to your health. When left untreated, OSA often causes excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue, as well as morning headaches and memory loss. OSA also is a threat to your safety as it increases your risk of drowsy driving and workplace accidents.

Untreated OSA raises your risk for serious health problems. These include high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, chronic acid reflux, and even erectile dysfunction. Have you ever wondered why there are so many commercials for this on the television? Severe, untreated OSA even increases your risk of death.

A doctor must determine if your snoring is a sign that you have OSA. A doctor who is a sleep specialist can provide you

with a complete sleep evaluation. This may involve either an overnight sleep study at a sleep center or a home sleep apnea test. The sleep doctor will then interpret the data from your sleep study to make a diagnosis and recommend treatment.

Next week I will conclude this series on sleep. I will review how snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are treated, as well as provide a short quiz for you to determine if you or the person who sleeps next to you should look into this further as a potential problem.

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.

The last couple of weeks I have been talking about sleep-related disorders. I have given examples of different things that I have learned to look for in my dental patients that indicate a potential issue beyond just what I see in their mouth. One of those things that is important to ask, which I cannot see visually, is about sleep patterns. Snoring, which is not a typical thing to discuss in a dental office, is one of those things.

Snoring is a sound that occurs during sleep when soft tissue in the upper airway vibrates as you breathe. Snoring is extremely common in men, but also occurs frequently in women, especially during pregnancy and after menopause.

Obesity, nasal obstruction, alcohol and smoking all increase the risk of snoring. The sound of snoring tends to be most disturbing to a bed partner or roommate, but loud snoring can wake the person who snores, too. Loud and frequent snoring is a common sign of obstructive sleep apnea.

Approximately 25 million adults in the U.S. have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which can cause them to stop breathing hundreds of times a night for anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute. OSA is a chronic

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Consider moving beyond the usual methods to find a more creative means of handling a difficult on-the-job situation. Avoid confrontation and, instead, aim for cooperation.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Seasonal change creates a new look for the outdoors. It also inspires Taureans to redo their own environments, and this is a good week to start redoing both your home and workplace. Enjoy.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A misunderstanding needs to be straightened out so the wrong impression isn’t allowed to stand. If necessary, offer to support the use of a third party to act as an impartial arbitrator.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A career change offering what you want in money and responsibilities could

involve moving to a new location. Discuss this with family members before making a decision.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Feeling miffed over how you believe you were treated is understandable. But before you decide to “set things straight,” make sure the whole thing wasn’t just a misinterpretation of the facts.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Showing you care makes it easier to build trust and gain an advantage in handling a delicate situation. What you learn from this experience also will help you understand yourself better.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Planning for the future is fine, especially if you include the roles that family members may be asked to play. Don’t be surprised if some hidden emotions are revealed in the process.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Making choices highlights much of the week, and you have a head start here, thanks to your ability to grasp the facts of a situation and interpret them in a clear-cut manner.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Carrying a torch can be a two-way situation: It can either keep you tied to the past or help light your way to the future. The choice, as always, has to be yours.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your watchwords this week are: “Focus.” “Focus.” “Focus.” Don’t let yourself be distracted from what you set out to do. There’ll be time later to look over other possibilities.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A workplace opportunity might require changes you’re not keen on making. Discuss the plusses and minuses with someone familiar with the situation before you make a decision.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love and romance are strong in your aspect this week. If you’ve already met the right person, expect your relationship to grow. And if you’re still looking, odds are you’ll soon be finding it.BORN THIS WEEK: You approach life in a wise and measured manner, which gives you an edge in many areas.

FULL MOON AND FOLKLORE HIKE

Join us as we celebrate the Algonquin Worm Moon with a night hike through the dunes of the Crane Wildlife Refuge! At the time of this almost-spring Moon, the ground begins to soften and earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of robins.

At the end of our walk we’ll warm ourselves with hot cider around a bonfire. March 23 | 6-8PM Pre-registration is required. Pre-registration required. Members: $10 Nonmembers: $15; suggested ages 13 and older. http://www.thetrustees.org/things-to-do/special-events/crane-oap/ Contact: Dorothy Antczak email: [email protected] phone: 978.356.4351 x4052
