AMESBURY – When Karen Wood reopened the Craft Beer Cellars shop at 19 Main Street the Friday of Super Bowl weekend, she had nine, 12-bottle cases of the popular South Boston brewed Trillium beers on the shelves. Despite a snow storm on Friday that caused a power outage and made deliveries a challenge, by
Monday morning, she had only 11 of the 108 bottles left on her shelves. “This was a big seller,” Wood said, who declared her first weekend in the reopened store to be a major success. The Craft Beer Cellars shop features shelves and shelves of craft beers brewed in Massachusetts,
including Ne w b u r y p o r t Brewing Co.’s Riverwalk. There are also craft beers from other East Coast states, the Midwest, Colorado and California. Located in a 2,500-squarefoot building over the raging Powow River, the shop has about 800 different beers. But nowhere can you find a six pack of Coors Photo by Stewart Lytle or Budweiser or Miller or any other beer produced by the large breweries. Customers can also find bottles of wine and ciders, and Wood has added snack food items, including nuts and jerky. But when you step into this store, it is clear: this is a craft beer store. Craft brewing is the name given Continued on page 3

FREE Council Faces March Deadline for Parking Garage By Stewart Lytle, Reporter ––––––––––––––––– NEWBURYPORT — Mayor Donna Holaday has about a month to persuade city councilors that a proposed three and a half story, 244-space parking garage on the Titcomb Street site is the right size, price, design and location. Otherwise, she warned councilors last week that the city could lose $7 million in state and federal funds needed to build the long-debated parking structure. In a letter to the council members, Holaday recalled that in the early 2000s when she was on the council, before she was mayor, “we had $7-8M earmarked in federal and state funds for a garage but the project failed by one vote.” The city, she wrote, has “worked very hard to secure this latest round of funding in an era where earmarks are very difficult to acquire. I strongly believe we will not be eligible for future earmarks should we lose this opportunity. Construction costs will also continue to escalate.” Continued on page 3

‘Glad To Have You Back’
to the industry that succeeded the micro-brewing movement of the late 20th century. It refers to relatively small, independentlyowned commercial breweries that employ traditional brewing methods and emphasize flavor and quality. The response to the products by smaller breweries has been outstanding, as evidenced by the number of repeat customers, Wood said. “Once you enter this world, you don’t come out.” Wood believes she and her staff of all guys are there to educate customers, many of whom have never tasted a craft beer. Unlike any other beer store, customers are encouraged to make up their own six or 12 pack of different beers. The shop, number 17 for the Belmont-based franchisor owned by by Suzanne Schalow and Kate Baker, opened here originally last June and was building a strong clientele when co-owner Jocelyn Hughes died in August. Her body was found on the beach in Plum Island. That began a long and twisted road for Wood, who initially joined the business with Hughes, a friend,
to help manage its financials. When Hughes died, Wood was thrust into the role of being the face of craft beer. “I learned to love beer all that much more,” Wood said. As sole owner, she said she is getting to use all her training and experience. She studied marketing in college and managed the Comina retail furniture and accessories store in Newburyport for several years where she mastered the point of sale system. She said she has become a fanatic on customer service. When the liquor license in Hughes’ name expired on Dec. 31, Wood had to close the store for four weeks until the state alcoholic control commission and the city could issue her a license. “The community has been great. The town has been outstanding,” she said. Amesbury has really embraced craft beers. Several popular restaurants around her serve craft beers. And people walking down Main Street come in or just open the door and shout, “Glad to have you back.” Since Hughes’ death, Wood said she has had tremendous help from Schalow and Baker, who dropped everything and came to Amesbury
to help Wood run the store. They even paid her rent this month while she re-stocked the shelves. “I have been very fortunate to have them,” said Wood, who believes the experience she has gained in recent months has made her “stronger.” The craft beer business is booming, growing to 11 percent of the national beer sales and rising. In 1979, when President Jimmy Carter and Congress deregulated the brewing industry, 89 breweries existed in the U.S. Today, the Brewers Association reports there are more than 2,000 breweries in operation that are considered craft breweries. Some of the larger breweries are now purchasing craft beer producers to take advantage of the popularity of the new beers. Craft Beer Cellars, a national franchise based in Boston, is well positioned to take advantage of this shift in taste. Founded in 2010, the Craft Beer Cellar franchise won Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston award in 2013 and 2014. It has spread across the country to 22 locations from Maine to California. The Amesbury store is one of eight in Massachusetts, including its latest in Swampscott.
The garage plan presented to the council’s finance subcommittee last week is about half the size of the five-story, 400-plus parking spaces with bus lanes originally proposed last year. That plan would have cost $16 million, which would have required the city to bond $9 million. It would have also required that the city take portions of neighboring properties. “We needed to step back and really look at the cost, size and impact (of the proposed garage), the mayor said in her State of the City address. “This structure will be a presence in our downtown for many years and we need to find the right balance.” The new proposal projects the cost of the garage between $10.7 million for a 204-space garage and $11.8 million for a 244-space garage. After subtracting the $7 million in grants, the city would have to bond less than $5 million. With its AAA bond rating, borrowing $5 million would cost the city $320,000 a year in debt service, an amount city finance director Ethan Manning said would be covered by parking fees with some money left over to pay for downtown improvements. That projection assumes the council will increase downtown parking fees, including monthly
and employee permits, resident permits and hourly parking. The hourly fee would go up from 50 cents to $1. The city has much to do in the next 45 days to keep the Federal Transportation Administration from withdrawing its $2 million grant, which could jeopardize the state’s $5 million allocation, the mayor and Planning Director Andy Port said. The council has until its meeting in mid-March to approve spending $630,300 to fund the full design of the garage. The mayor and her planning staff must also finalize negotiations with Stephen Karp’s New England Development (NED) to buy land for the garage. The price tag and demolition cost of the old Fitness Factory building was estimated at $2.1 million. The council had instructed the mayor to buy the property from NED, rather than enter into a joint venture where NED would have 90 spaces allocated for its use if it builds a waterfront hotel. The smaller garage design would not take any adjacent properties and possibly only the front portion of the Fitness Factory building, once a movie theater which now houses a furniture store and exercise studios. NED is considering keeping the two-thirds

of the building that fronts on Pleasant Street, city officials said. Port said the design team has done six preliminary designs. The city is recommending a 244-car garage that will cost $4.8 million or $28,000 per space in construction costs. The smaller garage would not have inside bus lanes for the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority. There would be bus stops on Merrimac Street, which would qualify the garage as an intramodal facility, which is necessary for the city to receive the federal funds. Several councilors questioned whether the city should change course and build the garage on the city-owned street-level Green Street lot. Holaday said the Green Street lot was rejected as the garage site by the council in 2010 because of strong opposition from neighbors, including the Congregationalist Church. She said the Titcomb Street site was selected because of its proximity to Route 1. The garage, although smaller, is still designed to take 100 cars off the waterfront lots owned by the Newburyport Redevelopment Authority. The NRA would like to reduce its lots by 275 spaces to create more park space on the waterfront.

New Survey on Prevention
By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD
According to a new Children’s Dental Health Project (CDHP) survey released this month, over 40% of more than 1,000 U.S. adults surveyed believe they have little or no control over whether they, or their children, get a cavity. In fact, only 57% of respondents believe they have “significant control” over getting a cavity. How would you answer these questions, True or False? “The bacteria that cause tooth decay can be transmitted from a parent to a child.” “The sugar in natural fruit juice can contribute to childhood cavities.” “A parent should begin brushing their child’s teeth as soon as they appear in the mouth.” I know the highly educated readers of this column would answer True for each of these statements. However, in the survey, almost 50% answered them wrong. In fact, 41% responded that parents should
begin brushing their child’s teeth at 3 years. Prevention starts long before a child enters school. It really starts from day one. Bacteria that cause tooth decay can be transmitted from a parent, or any caregiver, to a child. It may be cute for grandma to “share” a spoon with a young child, but it can introduce new bacteria to a youngster’s innocent environment. Sugar is sugar, no matter its source. Fruit juices are okay to a certain extent, but a child should never be given a bottle with juice or formula to fall asleep. Parents should also begin wiping teeth and gums with a terrycloth towel as soon as teeth appear in the mouth. Brushing with nonfluoridated toothpaste should start as more teeth erupt. When asked in the survey, “Which of the following is the most common chronic health condition affecting U.S. children and teens?” 8 out of 10 respondents stated obesity. Only 7% cited tooth decay. Diabetes also scored higher than tooth decay at 9%. Tooth decay is the most common chronic health condition of childhood, and it is also two to three times more common than childhood asthma
or obesity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In addition, 9% also responded True to the statement “Pregnant women should not receive a dental exam or get a cavity filled”. Dental maintenance and visits to the dentist should increase during pregnancy. Dental problems, such as gum problems and decay, should be treated during pregnancy to strive for optimum health. Disease and inflammation can affect a developing child. As I have reported before, dental decay is a very preventable disease, regardless of your age. Decay rates can change over a lifetime and can be influenced by things such as diet, medications and general health. Regular visits to a dental office (at least once a year) are one of the simple keys to prevention. Dr. St. Clair maintains a private dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered family dentistry.

Strong Legs Boost Brainpower
A 10-year British study out of Kings College found an interesting correlation between leg strength and brainpower. In the first-of-its-kind study, strong legs equated to cognitive strength down the road. Female twins between the ages of 43 and 73 (average age 55) were recruited for baseline testing, with adjustments made for various parameters such as socioeconomic status, alcohol drinking, blood pressure, level of exercise and more. Memory and learning were measured at the start of the study,

Senior Scene as were the strength of leg muscles of both twins. Brain scans also were taken. Ten years later the tests were repeated. Those who’d started and ended with more muscular legs showed the best results in memory and cognitive tests and more brain volume. The researchers still don’t know for certain why they saw these results. More studies need to be done, they said, to understand how aerobics, brain function and leg muscle power all come together, and whether musclebuilding chemicals somehow make their way to the brain. While scientists didn’t predict the outcome, it was not surprising because they’ve long known that

general exercise can help with cognitive function. Until they figure out the specifics, one thing is clear: adding more walking or doing exercises designed to increase leg strength can help with memory and thinking. We can run, take dance classes, lengthen our daily walk and spend time on a treadmill or rowing machine at the gym. Even yoga can help strengthen leg muscles. For those who aren’t mobile, seated rowing exercises with a resistance band can help, as can a recumbent bicycle. Consider asking your doctor for an exercise plan that concentrates on the leg muscles. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) St. Valentine’s Day magic rules the entire week for romantic Rams and Ewes. Music, which is the food of love, is also strong. The weekend offers news both unexpected and anticipated. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your aspects favor the arts -- which the Divine Bovine loves, loves, loves. Also, for those looking for romantic love, Cupid is available for requests. After all, his mother, Venus, rules your sign. (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Loving commitments continue to grow stronger. Ditto budding relationships. A recent move to help start up a new careerlinked direction soon could begin to show signs of progress. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Single Moon Children might be eager to take that proverbial chance on love. But your more serious side will feel better if you take things slowly and give your moonstruck self more time. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a love fest for Leos and Leonas this week. Paired Cats might expect to be purr-fectly in sync. And with matchmaking friends, single Simbas searching for romance shouldn’t have too far to look. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) More understanding on both sides can work miracles in restoring ailing relationships to health. Make the first move, and you’ll be closer to your much-wanted reunion. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Accept the fact that you are worthy of being loved, and you’ll find proof in what is revealed to you over the course of the week. Also accept a compliment offered with great sincerity. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Planning to take a new direction in life is exciting. And so is a new awareness of someone’s special affection. Expect a slow and mostly steady development of the situation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although you might still feel you weren’t treated quite right in a recent matter, all that will work out in time. Meanwhile, enjoy the week’s special qualities and potentials. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Deciding not to give up on a troubling romantic situation helps start the healing process. Expect to find some valuable insight into yourself as things move along. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) The week is filled with positive potentials, but it’s up to you to make the right choices. The advice of someone who truly cares for you and your well-being can be priceless. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to make yourself available to possibilities of the romantic kind. Already paired? Good. In that case, be sure to reassure that special person of your feelings. BORN THIS WEEK: Your generosity gladdens the hearts of others, and you bask in their joy.
