The Benefit of Balance Mission:

Our mission is to bridge the gap in access to alternative therapies, often excluded from traditional health insurance, by offering holistic, drug-free, and non-invasive solutions for those seeking enhanced well-being. At the heart of our efforts is Neurofeedback—an FDA-approved, evidence-based brain training method proven to help regulate learning, behavior, and stress-related symptoms. Through dedicated communication, education, mentorship, and advocacy, we strive to raise awareness about its profound benefits. Our vision is to make this transformative therapy accessible and affordable by providing financial support, empowering children, veterans, first responders, and adults facing high-stress environments to take control of their mental health and recovery journey. In order to provide financial support to those can benefit from Neurofeedback treatment, but may not otherwise be able to afford it, Michelle formed The Benefit of Balance, Inc. as a non profit corporation organized under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code - Tax ID #: 87-4712697

Elaine Bussey

I am thrilled to join the Amesbury Rotary Club. I believe that Rotary is a wonderful way to not only serve my community, but to be part of a larger network of amazing individuals working towards the goal to improve the lives of others both locally and nationally.

I started my career as a Registered Nurse working in hospitals, long term care facilities, community services, and then began working as a visiting nurse where I found my passion. I worked for over ten years at the former Home Health Care of Greater Newburyport. In that role I managed training programs for home health aides and coordinated the home health aide services for the agency. I raised my 2 daughters in Newburyport and I very much enjoyed being part of the Greater Newburyport Community.

I went on to receive a Master’s Degree in Health Care Administration from New England College in Henniker, NH. My husband and I moved to New Hampshire to pursue our love of the outdoors, for hiking, kayaking, swimming, biking, and gardening. We have both completed hiking all of the NH 4000-foot mountains and received our patches from the NH 4000 Foot Mountain Club.

While in New Hampshire I began working as Director of Connecticut Valley Home Care in Newport ,NH. It was while working at that agency that I was first introduced to Rotary and was a member of the Newport Rotary club for 7 years. I felt I was then recruited to serve as the Executive Director of North Country Home Health and Hospice in Littleton, NH. I joined the Littleton Rotary while in that role.

After working in Littleton for almost 5 years. We returned to Massachusetts and purchased a home in Amesbury, Mass, and I began a new position as Clinical Director at the Visiting Nurse agency, Circle Home in Lowell. I joined the Lowell Rotary Club while in that role

Currently I work for the Community College System of New Hampshire coordinating their Allied Health training programs. I work part time at Great Bay Community College in Portsmouth, NH. I enjoy this part time role, and that I am able to once again devote time to be a Rotarian

Todd McGrath

26 Feb 2025

Life long resident Todd McGrath walked us through images of the sparsely known parts of Amesbury’s history- our cemeteries. He presented the legacies of 50 local men & women who have served America.

Todd has served on the Amesbury Cemetery Commission.

Over the last five years he has traveled each of these grounds many times, logging names and service records into a digital data base. Existing base maps of St Joseph, Union and Mt Prospect are dated 1940. Todd and the Cemetery Commission believe it is critical to provide visiting family and / or visitors with a plot location and a service record for a loved one.

The City has funded a drone overflight mapping with data entry to digital data set in 2025.

The 5 municipal cemeteries are under the control of the DPW Director with a commission budget of $1,000. The City has two openings on its appointed three member Commission. Ms. Jane Snow is the Chair and long term appointee.

The largest cemetery is Union on Rt 110 ( Haverhill Rd) with 900 veteran plots. Mt Prospect cemetery is on Elm St @ the top of the hill : with 500 veterans interred. Old Corner is also on Elm St at the Cumberland Farms, with 25 +/- veterans : some Revolutionary and Civil War veterans are here.

The small pox cemetery on Kimball Rd at the Elec. easement is un-marked and is a 17 the century parcel.

The Tuxbury family plot is also on Kimball Rd at the highest spot on the hill with 2-3 Veterans.

There are also 4 private cemeteries;

Bartlett on Main St adjacent to the Macy Colby house. There are 116 Veterans interred here.

Salisbury Point on Clarks Rd behind Burger King. There are 66 Veterans here.

ST Joseph on Rt 110 across from Andy Mans Bakery. There are 852 Veterans here from the Civil war through Iraqui Freedom.

Salisbury Plains is found on the Amesbury Salisbury town line on Monroe St. It is owned by the Bartletts.

The goal is to have each of 2,350 Veterans marked with a branch specific PVC flag holder identifying

his/ her service. Currently only St Joseph has a full set of flag holders with 605 new PVC medallions

and 150 +/- to be funded, purchased and installed in place ( $ 1,950.)

We estimate $ 19,500 is required to provide service markers for the 1450 unmarked headstones.

To date, all the funding has been provided by one benefactor.

Jane and Todd’s time is all volunteer.

If you wish to support this worthy and ongoing project please contact Todd directly at tmmcgrath@comcast.net.

Service Project - Socks for Link House

This is now an annual service project, with this being the 4th. year. The following Rotarians were present: Tom Whalen, Cathy Toomey, Lee Ford, Donna Collins, Cheryl Keim, Tom Farrell, TOdd Schell, Julia Phelps, Smantha Hayes, and Dianne Webster.

Joe Buckley-Director, AMSB Public Works

On January 22, 2025, Jor Buckley, Amesbury Director of Public Works, gave us a very interesting overview of the DPW and his career in the public works departments of Worcester, where he managed the Sewer Operations Division for 12 years, the as Director of Public Works in the Town of Rutland, MA. He accepted the position of Director of Public Works in Amesbury in 2023. Joe earned a BS degree in Civil Engineering at UMass Lowell, is a Registered Professional Engineer, and received a Graduate Certificate in Local Government Leadership and Management from Suffock University.

When Joe first joined the Amesbury DPW, he said, “Whether as an engineer or a manager, throughout my career I have worked as a problem solver. I believe a Public Works Director is simply that, a day-to-day problem solver, keeping the roads functional and the sanitary conditions of the city acceptable. It is easy to get wrapped up in the public works projects people see, like a newly paved road or walkway, or critical operations like snow plowing, but I also have experience in the important tasks people sometimes take for granted, like safe drinking water, responsible operations of sewer systems, drainage infrastructure, and impacts to river systems. Amesbury Public Works supports the folks who live, work, and simply stop by."

One of the most important functions that the DPW is responsible for; dealing with snow, was a tasking that is not a skill set that training as a Civil Engineer prepared Joe for. So, as an inveterate problem solver, he learned how to digest weather forecast, determine what city and contract equipment would be required, for how long, where to preposition them, when and if to pretreat the roads with salt and or sand, and work with rest of the city Decision Team to make decisions on declaring a snow storm emergency, parking bans, and school delays or closures. Amesbury has 15 plow equipped trucks, and contracts for another 10. Snow plowing is very hard on trucks, and reduce their service life by 3 years.

The Amesbury DPW has a budget of $12.5MM, with 32 employees, About 75% of the budget is required for water and sewerage treatment. Amesbury has separate sewerage and storm drainage mains, which significantly reduces the likelihood of sewerage contamination getting into the river during rain storms.

Beyond Plastics - Working to End: Andrea La Croix

January 8, 2025 Andrea Lacroix has been interested in trash and recycling for as long as she can remember. She has served on her town’s Waste Reduction Committee for the past 10 years and is active in community events promoting sustainability. In October, 2022, she took Judith Enck’s master class on plastic pollution and was stunned by the extent not only of plastic waste but of the health issues faced by humans as a result. She joined the Speakers’ Bureau to do her part in educating as many people as possible. She lives in Ipswich, MA.

Sailing Above the Artic Circle,, with Captain Graham McKay

October 23, 2024. Captain Graham McKay, Executive Director of Lowell's Boat Shop presented his experience of sailing on board the gaff rigged 88 ft long schooner "Bowdin" this past June and July; above the Artic Circle to 70 degrees North latitude. The Bowdin is owned by the Maine Maritime Academy and is used for training students in the operation and management of an ocean going sailing vessel. The vessel departed and returned to Maine Maritime Academy with a crew of 15, 9 of whom were students, the remaining being Academy staff.

During the voyage they logged 4,575 nautical miles, and made 6 ports of call, The distance traveled converts to 5,261 statute miles, which is approximately the round trip air miles between Boston and Los Angeles (5,218 miles). Due to opposing winds during the voyage, they had to run on the ships auxiliary diesel engine about 85% of the time. In the earlier working years of the Bowdin, as an Artic research vessel, the north bound voyage was timed to take advantage of the prevailing south winds, and the return was timed to coincide with the wind shift to the north. This was not the case for this voyage, as it had to fit within the Maine Maritime academic calendar.

While in the northern latitudes, the crew had a surprise and pleasant encounter - with the Danish royal family, aboard the Danish royal yacht.
