Salisbury to celebrate its 375th anniversary

By Angeljean Chiaramida Staff Writer SALISBURY One of the biggest parties the community has ever hosted will occur on Saturday, Sept. 21, when the town celebrates its 375th anniversary. The festivities will begin at noon on Salisburys Town Green, according to Salisbury Chamber of Commerce and Historical Commission president Maria Miles and Bruce Macdonald, assistant vice president and branch manager of the Institution for Savings on Bridge Road. The two co-chair the committee in charge of organizing the celebration.

Macdonald said the committee has been working hard to plan a day of fun as well as history, for townspeople and visitors alike. This is going to be a significant birthday party for the town, done large and done well, Macdonald said. About 20 food, craft and art vendors will be there, along with musicians, he said, and there will be plenty of historical fun. Miles signed up the Fife and Drum Corps Revolutionary Guard, and there will be a military encampment and historical interpreters in the crowd, he said. The Institution for Savings will have a trivia wheel with questions about Salisburys history.

According to committee member Donna Champayne, Miles has booked the music that closes the show. Running from 4 to 6 p.m., the B Street Bombers will perform in concert on the green, she said. In addition, there will be games for kids, face painting and a book sale at the nearby Salisbury Public Library. Civil War storytellers will also be in the crowd. At 1 p.m. the Historical Society Museum will have a slide show presentation about the history of Salisbury, originally known as Colchester when it was founded in September 1638. And a visit to the Pike School will offer revelers a trip back to days when that one-room schoolhouse educated generations of Salisbury children. Salisburys Green is an appropriate place to center the festivities. The original settlement was centered on the green. Within less than a decade, the Salisbury settlement quickly expanded into what is now Amesbury in fact, large sections of Amesburys downtown as well as Point Shore were part of Salisbury until a new town line was drawn up in the late 1800s.

The Sept. 21 date corresponds with Essex National Heritage Commissions Sails & Trails weekends, Miles said. And the event will also connect with Salisbury Historical Societys Parsons House Museum, which is right across the street from Salisbury Green. Were hoping to have a living history display of Civil War artifacts because the Parsons House Museum has a Civil War Room, Miles said. I want to have a fife and drum corps to open the celebration, but Im having a hard time lining one up. If anybody knows of one, give me a call. Beverly Gulazian, of the Salisbury Historical Society, said the museum will be open during the event, and society President Jim Moghabghab will discuss the history of Salisbury Beach, complete with an extensive slide show. There are discussions of an antique appraisal event in conjunction with the historic celebration, and according to Miles, those with ideas who are willing to work are welcome to get involved.

Once here, a patient is surrounded by expertise, encouragement and technology. And some peace and quiet.

Sometimes, silence speaks volumes. Now that Anna Jaques Hospital has added 18 new single rooms on the Institution for Savings Inpatient Unit, private rooms are now available throughout the entire hospital for enhanced comfort, infection control and healing.

A private room for nearly every patient who stays overnight at Anna Jaques.
For this community, that means a better patient experience and high quality care at a lower cost. We think everyone will like the sound of that.

Corn mazes and zombies... it must be fall

By Jim Sullivan Correspondent Halloween is coming and so are the ghouls, or in the case of Danvers Connors Farm, so are the zombies. Its a new and exciting thing, Connors Farm owner, Bob Connors said of his newest attraction, Zombie Safari Paint Ball. Its big on the West Coast right now and I think we are the only ones doing it in New England. It has created a lot of excitement already. Famous for its seven-acre corn maze, the Connors Farm has been in the scare business for quite some time. Their Haunted Corn Field has been creeping people out on the North Shore for the past four years. The haunted end of things is really picking up, said Connors. We are so busy because Salem is right up the street. Part of the Haunted Corn Field which includes the Woods of Horror and the Asylum Burial Grounds, the Zombie Safari will place 30 paintball-gun-armed found a terrific source for ample walking dead; the local teenage population. We put an adfor zombies and the kids are beating the doors down because they want to be zombies, said Connors. Joining the zombies in their reign of terror will be the clown ghosts who haunt the Woods of Horror as well as the spirits of the criminally insane who wander the Asylum Burial Grounds. Thats a lot of ghouls to have on one payroll. We have 80 haunted employees, said Connors with a laugh. Its a big payroll. We are anticipating large crowds this year. The non-haunted corn maze will also be open for business during the day in mid-September. The Haunted Corn Maze, however, will terrorize visitors every weekend night in October and the first weekend of November. We have the daytime stuff for families, said Connors. Then we have the nighttime stuff for the teenagers. We seem to be the new destination for teens.

survivors on a pair of trailers where they will circle the corn maze and wait for the 25 zombies to emerge. Sergeants will also inform the survivors just what is happening. Zombies have risen from the dead and are looking to eat human brains. Its up to the survivors to kill them all. Theres a storyline, for sure, said Connors. Zombies are big right now. (From) everyone we talk to, there is a lot of excitement. Once the zombies make their appearance, its shootin time. Targets will also pop up to be shot with the glow in the dark paintballs while the zombies will be well-protected with body armor. One might think finding zombies before the apocalypse occurs to be difficult task. But Connors

Pumpkin crop getting ready for Halloween

By Jim Sullivan Correspondent Local schools are in session, time to think about the pumpkin. It will be a great year for them, Im sure, Tendercrop Farm owner, Matt Kozacki said of his pumpkin crop. Its like every year. Its a challenge. If it was the same every day, wed probably get bored. Pumpkins like things hot and dry, but 2013 hasnt been all that accommodating, which can indeed create a challenge to growing a good pumpkin. At Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury, co-owner Glenn Cook is pleased with what he is seeing so far but he has also seen better crops in the past. I would say (this years crop) is moderate, said Cook. We try to grow all the specialty pumpkins and they are looking pretty good. There are still quite a bit out there but we are noticing a little bit of collapse. There are always some issues with disease, agreed Kozacki. Its like any crop, its never 100 percent. A bit of luck is all part of the game when growing anything and Cook is happy to see things around his farm coming along. We have nice-looking fields, foliage and pumpkins, said Cook.

I would just say that I wish it was a little bit heavier set. (But) so far, so good. We did do a walk around the fields a couple of days ago and noticed that some of the pumpkins are falling apart. Of course you dont like to see that but it is a living, growing organism. When trouble does arrive, Cook said that his farm takes an interesting approach to the challenge. We grow all our pumpkins from transplants, said Cook. We do all our seeding, then we grow the plants from in-and outside of a greenhouse. A lot of people, if they are growing from direct seeding and they have cool, wet weather, which we did this spring, often those seeds will rot. So there are maybe some people who had a rough time getting their planting going; we avoid that by planting from transplants. Kozacki has been keeping his eye both on his pumpkins and on the water table. Luckily it has dried out now, said Kozacki. Pumpkins actually like it dry. When it is wet, it is hard on any vine crop. (Over the summer) it was hot but it was still wet. The beginning of

August was cold but still wet but it has started to dry out lately. It was a challenging summer but like any other summer, we end up making it. It gives us something to talk about in the future about the past. It will all be fine. As fall foliage comes in many shapes and colors, so do the pumpkins. You have your regular pie pumpkins, said Cook. You know, the small 5-, 7-pound pumpkins. Then you have your jack-o-lantern pumpkins, which tend to be anywhere from 10 to 25 pounds. Specialty pumpkins are all the other colored pumpkins with different shapes. Some of them are sort of flat, some of them are beige and red and black and white. Often they are actually squash and not a true pumpkin, but people love to have the variation in their decor. For Cook and company its time to get ready for a great season ahead. Our farm is quintessential New England, said Cook. Were just getting fired up. We have 80 varieties of apples. We will be picking peaches for two more weeks. They are incredible right now. Its just a full plate farm for a full plate fall.

This contemporary linear fireplace offers a sleek, modern design that will revolutionize your design ideas. Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary, we display over 30 fireplaces and stoves, so we are confident that we will have the perfect fit for your home.

10 local things to do in the fall

Bryan Eaton/Staff photo

Looking for some unusual or offbeat things to do this fall? Heres 10 things in the Newburyport area.

Maudslay State Park in Newburyport is beautiful at all times of the year, but the fall colors on thetrees and the changing of the hues in the forests and fields is something worth experiencing. Maudslay has many trails that make for a fine fall experience; we would recommend any trail that borders on the Merrimack River.

Find some color at Maudslay

bluefish follow enormous schools of baitfish, and feeding frenzies are common sights off Plum Island and Salisbury Beach. Surfcasting is usually a good option, as well as going on a charter boat. And for those who prefer to do their fishing with a pair of binoculars, there are lots of interesting things to see. Its not uncommon forlarge fish like Atlantic sunfish, basking sharks and tuna, to come in very close to the shore.

Wildlife Refuges seashore is open to the public. This is a pristine 6-mile-long stretch of sand and dunes, and on most weekdays you can have it all to yourself. What a treat.

Fall is actually one of the best times for fishing off our local coast. Striped bass and

Fall is an ideal time to visit the coast. The crowds are minimal, the water is usually warm, and the air is often crisp and clear. Plus, the Parker River National

Walk along the Plum Island Beach shoreline

For owners of GPS devices, geocaching can be a fun treasure hunt. There are dozens of sites in the region that are entered into the geocaching database. Instructions on how to geocache are located at the website http:// www.geocaching.com/ It doesnt matter which direction you go on Route 1A. If its south or north, youll see the fall colors, the beauty of New England landscapes,

and in many places, the brilliant blue ocean. The summer crowds have largely left the area, so the traffic tie-ups that plague the beaches are no more. And theres always those little places to stop and get out of the car.

Meander along Route 1A

Fall brings a plentiful crop of apples to local farms, and along with it delicious apple cider. Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury is renowned for its cider and its cider doughnuts. Tendercrop Farm in Newbury also has excellent cider for sale, as well as doughnuts and a wide variety of baked goods. There are few things that give you the warm feeling of fall than a doughnut washed down with delicious cider.

qualities that many lobster lovers savor. Our local waters produce a bounty of fresh lobsters, which can be found at several venues that are friendly to the messy business of cracking open a hard shell. Among them is Bob Lobster in Newbury, and Markeys and Browns in Seabrook. Many of the museums in our area are old homes, and they can be a little on the warm side in the summer. But in the fall, the clear and cool air makes them downright comfortable. Best of all, most museums in this region are open on the weekends through Columbus Day. Among the museums we would suggest are the Historical Society of Old Newbury, the Custom House Museum, and any of the Historic New England properties that happen to be open.

Football is big in our local high schools, and rivalries are fierce. The most storied and longest is between Newburyport and Amesbury. Both schools have vintage high school football stadiums. Amesburys Landry Stadium is a restored Depression era stadium, an impressive bowl-shaped structure that is

unparalleled in the region. Newburyports stadium is in a little tougher shape, but makes up for it in spirit and tradition. Most games are played on Friday nights, under the lights. Summertime lobsters are usually softshell lobsters, but by the fall their shells harden and they take on the nutcracker

Is there anything that says fall like getting a good book and sitting down on a brisk weekend to read it? We are fortunate to have some excellent bookstores in the region, owned by local people who cater to their customers. Among them are Jabberwocky Bookshopin Newburyport, and Friend Street Bookstore and Bertram and Olivers Booksellers in Amesbury.
