of the 2,500 square-foot store. The message is clear: this is a beer store. It offers about 800 different beers. What you won’t find in the store, co-owned by Jocelyn Hughes and Karen Wood, are beers produced from what Hughes calls “the large breweries.” “Those beers are well represented elsewhere,” Hughes jokes. “We are all about craft beer here.” The craft beer business is booming, growing from 2 and 3 percent of the beer market in years past to 11 percent and rising, Hughes said. Craft brewing is the name given to the industry that succeeded the microbrewing movement of the late Continued on page 3

Back to Back Sportsman Award Recipient Aidan Hawes

AMESBUREY - 12 year old Aidan Hawes, an Amesbury resident and rising 7th grade Triton Youth Basketball player, received Mass Elite Basketball’s 2015 Sportsmanship Award for the Class of 2021 as part of the AAU organization’s Spring Awards Celebration for the 2nd year in a row. According to Hawes’ Mass Elite Coach, John Amentola, “Aidan has all of the characteristics that a coach could ask for in a player. He has a great feel for the game The Town Common Courtesy Photo and can have impact in a number of ways. his competitiveness is always matched by his efforts on the court and the positive attitude he constantly displays which makes him a valuable member on any team”. Hawes’ dedication and commitment really started paying off this season. He was named Elite Top 5 Player of the Week within his 500+ AAU group. He an his team, who have been playing together for less than a year, won the 2015 6th Grade Mass State AAU Championship in May. They head to Hampton, Virginia next week to play in the National 6th Grade AAU Basketball Championship. “Aidan defies what it means to be a good sportsman said Eric Polli, President of Mass Elite Basketball. He is a hard worker, good teammate, leads by example, and makes everyone better”. Mass Elite Basketball’s mission is “to teach the student-athletes in our basketball family not only important basketball skills but also the tools necessary to be a good person. There is so much more in life than basketball — though the sport is a great way to learn valuable life lessons.” It is with this mindset — largely practiced by and important to the entire Hawes family — that Mass Elite Basketball was an organization they decided to pursue. In fact, Belen Wieler Hawes, Aidan’s mother, explained via email the decision to partake in a league that required so much dedication, including national travel. “[We selected Basketball because of its] commitment to teaching the fundamentals, player development and exposure, and family focus,” she said. “For Aidan to be one of the student athletes recognized for his work ethic, leadership and outstanding performance, had us beaming with pride and thankful that we found a special basketball family where he can excel, grow and have fun with his teammates and coaches.”

Pennies for Poverty Launches Resources Directory

NEWBURYPORT - Pennies for Poverty today announced the launch of its online Resources Directory for those seeking access to area social services The Resources Directory, located at www.resources.penniesforpoverty.org, includes 170 organizations that serve residents of Amesbury, Byfield, Newbury, Newburyport, Rowley, Salisbury, and West Newbury. The mobile-friendly directory provides an easy way to search and locate contact information and brief service descriptions of organizations that provide: • • Behavioral and physical health services • Clothing and household goods • Crisis support • Emergency financial assistance • Employment counseling and job training • Family support • Financial counseling • Food programs • Fuel assistance • Housing and emergency shelter • Legal assistance • Transportation “For the first time in the greater Newburyport-Seacoast area, this critical information can be accessed immediately online or from a mobile device,” commented John Cuneo, executive director, Community Action Inc. “Human service providers and folks in need of service can easily search for and find the help they need. It’s a terrific resource!” Volunteers at Pennies for Poverty maintain the information about more than 170 organizations currently included in the directory. Pennies will also periodically publish a hard-copy version of the directory. Pennies for Poverty collaborated with the Hugh Doyle Resource Center to migrate their online directory when the Center closed this spring. “We feel it is critical to have this vital community resource to support those who are living in or at risk of poverty in the greater Newburyport area,” commented Michael Sandberg, president of Pennies for Poverty. About Pennies for Poverty - Pennies for Poverty: 2 Cents 4 Change, Inc. is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization whose mission is to reduce poverty and alleviate its devastating impact on people in the Greater Newburyport Area. The United States Census Bureau’s American Community Survey found that over 16% of people in the Greater Newburyport Area, about 9,500 of our neighbors, lived in poverty in the 2008-2012 period. We all have a role in making our community stronger. We do this by: • Increasing awareness and educating about poverty in the Greater Newburyport area • Maintaining an online, searchable, mobile-friendly directory of social service resources available in Greater Newburyport • Promoting volunteerism through our volunteer directory and organizing food drives to help stock the shelves at local food pantries. • Improving the quality of food provided to those in need and supporting the local economy by providing agencies with gift cards to local farms and fresh fish stores. • Raising money to address urgent needs and providing emergency relief through local anti-poverty agencies.

Old Barn to be Saved

should not be as noisy as it was seven years ago. The company driving the piles will not use a diesel engine and will progressively add pressure on each pile until it is halfway into the ground. Both measures are designed to reduce the noise the pile driving creates. Berkeley Investments, a Bostonbased, real estate investment and development company, which specializes in difficult reuse projects, resurrected First Republic’s controversial waterfront condominium project. It is seeking approval to renovate three longempty houses on Merrimac Street next to the Towle Building into five residences, build nine new waterfront condos and convert the 18th century barn into a 10th condo.

The condos would be about 2,500 square feet with two or three bedrooms in each and have great views of the Merrimack River from inside the units and on decks and patios outside. Two of the units in one of the houses on Merrimac Street would be sold as affordable housing. One of the houses, believed to have been built in 1690, will be renovated into a single-family home. Berkeley initially proposed to tear down the barn rather than move it because it would cost $60,000 to move the structure. But after running into stiff opposition from city boards and commissions, the developer agreed to incorporate the barn into the housing development, if the city will give the barn back. Lisa Mead, attorney for the

project, told the Planning Board that, to almost everyone’s surprise, the barn actually belongs to the city, having received it as a gift in 2010 from First Republic. At the request of Mayor Donna Holaday, the city council is meeting this week to vote to return the gift so the barn can be preserved and renovated as part of the project. Berkeley and First Republic also would build a facility with two handicapped-accessible restrooms at nearby Cashman Park, where fishermen, players and walkers now use port-a-potties. The developers have dropped plans for a larger building that would have had other recreational uses. The city’s Parks Commission will have final approval on what the restroom facility would look like.

20th century. It refers to relatively small, independently-owned commercial breweries that employ traditional brewing methods and emphasize flavor and quality. 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, Hughes said. Craft Beer Cellars, a national franchise based in Boston, is well positioned to take advantage of this shift in taste. Founded in Belmont in 2010, by Suzanne Schalow and Kate Baker, the Craft Beer Cellar franchise won Boston Magazine’s Best of

Boston award in 2013 and 2014. It has spread across country to 16 locations from Maine to Colorado. The Amesbury store is the seventh in Massachusetts and the only one on the North Shore. In the Amesbury franchise, Hughes and Wood often serve as coaches, giving expert guidance to Budweiser, Coors and Miller drinkers, who are discovering the expanding world of craft beers. Hughes has a lengthy history in the beer business. Her parents were in the brewery business in Germany before immigrating to America. She said she fell in love with beer while living in London. And for 20 years she owned and operated a 120-seat brewpub in Waltham. “I tend to get a long winded when I am talking about beer,” she said. “I love beer, and I am particularly partial to New England breweries.” Customers at the Craft Beer

Cellars are often surprised to learn from Hughes and Wood that they can break up four and six packs of beers. For a few dollars more, they can create their own six pack, buying different beers they are unfamiliar with. Hughes and Wood also enjoy pointing out new beers. The craft beer industry is known for its innovation, bringing The out a steady stream of seasonal beers, which gives Craft Beer Cellars a constantly rotating stock. “Consumers have a tremendous choice,” Hughes said. “There is something for everyone.” Hughes, a resident of Newburyport, and Wood, who lives in Newbury, are happy the store is in Amesbury. This city has been very welcoming, they said. And it has a beer culture. “Look at all the restaurants around us,” she said. “They have great beer menus.”

Maudslay Arts Center Summer Concert Series

Continued from page 1

by Aeterna Trio on Sunday, July 12, at 2 p.m. Rebecca Parris is always a favorite of MAC audiences. Jazz World’s Frank Bouchard writes, “She is that rare bird: The true jazz singer with the soul of an entertainer.” Aeterna Trio is an exciting new ensemble featuring Ben Birkbeck on piano, Devon Colella on cello, and Andy Happel on violin. With Aeterna Trio forces collide in a genrebending hail as these exceptional musicians spontaneously riff on a classical theme, rock favorite, or their own contemporary compositions. New this season is Amanda Carr, a multi-styled vocalist/pianist with fresh interpretations of the Great American Songbook. Nat Hentoff of The Wall Street Journal hailed her as “...a true jazz singer in a time of wannabes.” Paul Broadnax & Friends will close the season on Sunday, Aug. 23.

most money in the shortest period of time, the answer is to list it now. The buyers are buying now. The rates remain historically low. Generally higher rates mean less borrowing power for a consumer to buy your home. The other critical component is that home prices continue to increase however slowly but waiting with the hope of “getting more” for your home in the near future is a gamble according to every reliable survey in our industry. Know that having your home on the market can be stressful for you and it requires work to keep it in good showing condition. Minimizing stress during the summer holidays may meet your needs more so than optimizing the chance for sale during this period. As for waiting until spring, know that the fall and spring markets have been described as “more active” in the past, but the market changes of the past few years have affected all trends to the point where an age old home selling rule emerges; “It only takes one buyer.” If that one buyer does not see your home while you are “waiting to put it on”, he will buy another property. Speak to your Realtor about your thoughts and needs. Make this very important decision about your largest asset with the professional help that is invaluable. Broker/Realtor Janet Hilton is a former practicing attorney and critical care RN who with her husband retired Lynn Fire Lieutenant George Hilton owns and operates Country Crossroads Realty Associates, LLC.
