AMESBURY – For the last 

few months, the most frequently 

asked question Bob O’Brien, 

CEO of CI Works, hears most 

often from his 55 business and 

manufacturing company tenants 

is not about rental fees or space 

needs, but when will the new craft 

beer brewery open for business. 

To O’Brien’s relief, the good 

news is that Stevie Bareford, 

who operates the start-up family 

brewery, Barewolf Brewing, plans 

to start brewing his first batch of 

mash this week. 

Paul Bareford, father of Stevie 

and partner in Barewolf, hopes 

the first pour at the brewery’s 

tasting room on Morrill Street 

will be made before the end of 

the month.

Parking Garage Goes to City Council 

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter 

––––––––––––––––– 

NEWBURYPORT – The city’s planning and historical commissions last week 

moved the controversial parking garage to its final step, approving the 207-vehicle 

garage for the site of the old Fitness Factory on Merrimac Street. 

Jim McCarthy, the planning commission chairman, said the remaining step is a 

very big one. The city council now must agree to fund about half of the $11 to $12 

million garage. 

Planning director Andy Port said he views the council’s decision to be more than 

approving the garage. Because $6.5 million for the garage is coming from the state 

and federal coffers, he likes to think the council is voting to accept the grants, which 

would subsidize the opening of the waterfront by eliminating 100 dirt parking spaces. 

The dirt parking spaces would be replaced with grass and open space for events. 

The planning commission made it as a condition of its approval for the garage that

Theater in the Open 

and the Summer of Firsts 

Theater in the Open, recently 

selected as curators of the Gatekeeper’s 

House in Maudslay State Park, opened 

their summer season Saturday, July 

8th with a production of Sophocles’ 

Antigone, played in repertory 

with their production of William 

Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s 

Dream, set to open on July 15th. 

“This is an ambitious summer 

season for Theater in the Open,” 

stated Artistic Director, Edward 

Speck, “and we’re really pleased to be 

able to offer these two productions 

free to our community. Sophocles’ 

Antigone is a tragic play about the power structure in Ancient Greece 

and it expresses the values and laws of that culture. Balanced against 

that work, we offer Shakespeare’s classic comedy, A Midsummer 

Night’s Dream, so our audience sees two plots derived from the same 

mythological moment; two stories that use that mythology — in 

very different ways — to express cultural values.” 

Director Stephen Haley returns to Theater in the Open to tackle 

both plays, running through August 20th. With a cast of 20 actors, 

Haley explores these two very different visions of the world of 

Ancient Greece. The titular Antigone, a woman guided by her own 

moral code to stand against the 

laws of Thebes, is presented in 

a production that incorporates 

dance with Sophocles’ classic 

text. In “A Midsummer Night’s 

Dream,” humans and fairies 

descend upon the forest outside 

of Athens to connect with their 

true loves as Shakespeare explores 

the balance of power and themes 

of the masculine and feminine in 

his timeless comedy. 

In another first for Theater in 

the Open this season, we will 

be hosting a theater festival the 

weekend of August 12-13. That 

weekend we have four distinct 

offerings for the community. 

We begin on Saturday morning 

at 11AM with Family Hour 

in the Open, an interactive 

hour of creative exploration 

and performance. At 2PM 

we’ll once again be staging 

our spring production, Snow 

White: A Through the Looking 

Glass Panto, then on Sunday 

afternoon, audiences can see 

A Midsummer Night’s Dream 

at 1PM followed by Antigone 

at 4PM. All performances are 

free and open to the public. 

We’ll also offer fun, games and 

light refreshments between the 

performances on both days, so 

families are invited to pack up 

their picnic baskets, the dog 

and their imaginations and join 

us for a weekend of inventive, 

exciting theater. Antigone will be 

performed July 16, 23, 30 and 

August 13 at 4pm. 

A Midsummer Night’s Dream 

will be performed July 15, 22, 

29, and August 19 and 20 at 

4pm, and August 13 at 1pm. All 

performances free and open to 

the public.

Parking Garage Goes to City Council 

Continued from page 1 

Authority is expected to 

contribute $1.5 million, although 

the city had hoped for $2 million 

from that agency. 

Although some neighbors still 

object to the proposed garage, 

the primary complaint against 

the project has been its cost. Port 

was working last week with two 

sets of estimators to finalize the 

cost projections over the next 

two weeks for the council to act 

on. 

“It costs more to make a 

parking garage fit into the 

downtown,” Port said. “Aesthetics 

are expensive.” 

The garage is being designed 

to look like other buildings in 

downtown, Port said. 

The brick building at Merrimac 

and Titcomb streets has long been 

the projected spot for the parking 

garage. Owned by New England 

Development, the building now 

houses a furniture store and two 

gyms. 

After months of negotiations 

between Stephen Karp’s 

development company and the 

city, the purchase price for the 

property is $2,184,000. 

The agreement to purchase 

the building and land does not 

include allocating any parking 

spaces for a proposed Waterfront 

West hotel, as once discussed 

between the city and New 

England Development. 

If approved by the council, 

the entire building will be torn 

down. Not all of the property 

will be used for the garage. 

The garage will also be a 

terminal for the Merrimack Valley 

Doing Their Best for Beer 

Regional Transit Authority. The 

MVRTA has said that 45 spaces 

must be designated for those 

vehicles of commuter bus riders. 

That could be a thorny issue left 

for the council to resolve. 

It has long been a goal of 

the city to remove the dirt 

parking lots on the waterfront. 

The garage was conceived as a 

solution to that problem, but 

some residents wanted to ensure 

that the waterfront spaces would 

be gone at the time the new 

garage is built. 

If approved, construction 

would begin this fall with the 

demolition of the old Fitness 

Factory. Construction of the 

new garage would be modular 

with much of the components 

assembled elsewhere and erected 

on site, Port said.

Ferrick since I first saw her open for 

Ani DiFranco in 2013.” Firehouse 

Executive Director says. “Her 

songwriting is some of the best in 

the business and she always puts on 

a great show. And the fact that she 

lives in Newburyport is the icing 

on the cake.” Signed to Atlantic 

Records in 1992 at the age of 21, 

she released her first two albums 

on Atlantic before moving on to 

W.A.R. Records. In 2000, Ferrick 

launched her own label, Right On 

Records. Having shared the stage 

with Morrissey, Marc Cohn, John 

Hiatt, Weezer, Tegan & Sara, Bob 

Dylan, and many others, Melissa 

Ferrick is the voice of a generation. 

Tickets are $25 for non-members, 

$22 for members, students, and 

seniors. The Firehouse’s 2016/2017 

season is well underway and has 

some great events coming up to close 

the season. The Sea Level Oyster Bar 

Concerts Series continues with Hot 

Club of Cowtown (July 26), Girls 

Guns & Glory (August 6) and the

SUNDAY, JULY 16th 

ANIMAL TRACKING 

PROGRAM 

Sunday, July 16th from 10:00 am 

to Noon - Many animals live on the 

refuge, but are hard to find. They 

are either active at night, wary of 

people, or both. Though you may 

not see them, their tracks can be just 

as interesting to find. Go out on the 

refuge with intern Dominic Noce 

as he teaches you how to find and 

identify tracks of different types of 

animals. Meet the program leader in 

the refuge visitor center auditorium 

for a brief slide show, after which 

he’ll lead you on a tracking 

exploration on the refuge. Please 

wear long pants and boots (for tick 

prevention) and otherwise dress for 

the weather. NO preregistration for

Changes did occur over this past 

Winter and this Spring. Mother 

Nature is in charge! Investigate the

U-boat nets across the Merrimack 

River. Visit the Sand Machine where 

up to an acre of sand flow through 

natural weirs in the South Jetty 

during high course tides. Discuss 

how the Army Corps of Engineers,

together to work with nature and 

find a solution to the rapid erosion 

on the point. Tour participation 

costs $10, payable to the Coastlines 

Project. Bring a camera, sensible 

shoes and a keen sense of humor

Health & Wellness 

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD 

Orofacial pain includes a number 

of clinical problems involving the 

chewing (masticatory) muscles or 

temporomandibular joint (TMJ). 

Problems can include TMJ 

discomfort, muscle spasms in 

the head, neck or jaw, migraines, 

cluster or frequent headaches, pain 

with the teeth, face or jaw, anxiety 

and depression. 

You swallow approximately 

2,000 times per day, which causes 

the upper and lower teeth to come 

together and push against the skull. 

People who have an unstable bite, 

missing teeth, or poorly aligned 

teeth can have trouble because 

the muscles work harder to bring 

the teeth together, causing strain. 

People with seemingly good teeth/ 

bite are also susceptible. Pain can 

also be caused by clenching or 

grinding teeth, trauma to the head 

and neck, or poor ergonomics. 

Temporomandibular disorders 

(TMD) affect more than 10 

million Americans. Your TMJ’s are 

located where the skull connects 

your lower jaw to the muscles 

on the sides of your head and 

Some of us suspected it 

was too good to be true: that 

mild exercise of any type was 

good for us and helped us live 

longer. A new study shows that, 

unfortunately, we may be right. 

New research out of Brigham 

Young University (published in 

Preventive Medicine journal) 

shows that we can slow the type 

of aging that happens in cells 

if we do intense exercise. (Not 

what I had in mind. How about 

you?) To quote from one of the 

study’s principals: “The more

face. They control the joint’s 

movements. Women between the 

ages of 20 and 40 are the most 

frequent sufferers because of the 

added estrogen in their bodies. 

Estrogen impacts the body’s 

natural pain fighters (endorphins), 

increases inflammation in the 

temporomandibular joints, and 

compromises the strength and 

adaptive ability of all ligaments 

One in eight Americans suffer 

from headaches. Experts estimate 

that 80 percent of all headaches 

are caused by muscle tension, 

which may be related to the bite. 

Clenching the jaw muscles creates 

tension in the muscles that close 

the jaw, the main one of which 

is the temporalis muscle. Signs 

that may indicate a headache 

from dental origin include: pain 

behind the eyes, sore jaw muscles 

or “tired” muscles upon awaking, 

teeth grinding, clicking or popping 

of the jaw joints, head and/or scalp 

is painful to the touch, earaches 

or ringing, neck and/or shoulder 

pain, and dizziness. 

Sleep disorders can also play 

a role. If you have gone through 

treatment and still experience 

orofacial pain, you may have a 

sleep disorder, such as bruxism 

(grinding), or a sleep-related 

breathing disorder, such as 

snoring or sleep apnea. I will be 

talking more about this in future 

columns. 

physically active we are, the less 

biological aging takes place in 

our bodies.” 

Specifically the study talks 

about telomeres. As we age, 

there is less telomerase in each 

cell, which counteracts the 

shortening of telomeres on our 

chromosomes. Without that 

telomerase, the telomeres wear 

down and cells wear out. Highactivity 

exercise levels can give 

up to a nine-year biological-age 

advantage; moderate exercise 

nets us seven years. 

Translated into real terms, 

it means that women need to 

engage in physical cardiovascular 

activity 30 minutes a day. That’s 

five days a week. For men it’s 

40 minutes. While there are

Mild Exercise Just Won’t Cut It 

Your dentist has a variety of 

treatments that can help relieve 

your orofacial symptoms. One 

device is called an orthotic, or 

splint, that is worn over the 

teeth to help stabilize the bite. 

Permanent correction may require 

equilibration (reshaping teeth), 

building crowns, or orthodontics. 

Many use a splint on a daily 

basis to avoid having these other 

treatments done. 

Other things that can help 

alleviate pain are using ice on the 

painful area, eating a softer diet 

and avoiding chewing gum or 

ice, being conscious to keep teeth

and swallowing, sleeping on your 

back and not resting your hand on 

your chin. 

Orofacial pain can range 

from tolerable to debilitating. 

Maintaining or correcting your bite 

ensures optimal health, and proper 

care will help reduce or eliminate 

orofacial pain or discomfort. If 

your dentist can not help you, ask 

for a referral to a specialist.

Physical Activity. The chart will 

tell you how you can fit common 

chores into your exercise 

schedule. Washing and waxing a 

car qualifies, as do raking leaves 

and washing floors. If we have 

to get more exercise, we might 

as well get the household chores 

done at the same time, right? 

And before jumping into a 

strenuous exercise program, find 

out what your doctor thinks.

of the issue. 

Town Common 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 

and 

20) You’ve done some great work recently. Now it’s time to reward 

yourself with something wonderful, perhaps a day at a spa or a night 

out with someone very special. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, but don’t forget to 

make time to do a little more listening, otherwise you could miss out 

on an important message someone might be trying to send you. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspect indicates some 

uncertainty about one of your goals. Use this period of shifting 

attitudes to reassess what you really want and what you’re ready to 

do to get it. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your social life is picking up, and 

you’ll soon be mingling with old friends and making new ones. But 

‘twixt the fun times, stay on top of changing workplace conditions. 

VIRGO (August 23 September 22) A trusted friend offers 

understanding as you vent some long-pent-up feelings. Now, move 

on from there and start making the changes you’ve put off all this 

time. 

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might well feel uneasy 

as you face a difficult situation involving someone close to you. But 

you know you’re doing the right thing, so stick with your decision. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You’re a good friend to 

others. Now is the time to allow them to be good friends to you. Rely 

on their trusted advice to help you get through an uncertain period. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Family and 

friends are always important, but especially so at this time. Despite 

your hectic workplace schedule, make a real effort to include them 

in your life. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) That project you’ve 

been working on is almost ready for presentation. But you still need 

some information from a colleague before you can consider it done. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t let those negative 

attitudes that have sprung up around you drain your energies. Shrug 

them off, and move ahead with the confidence that you can get the 

job done. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Aspects favor some dedicated 

fun time for the hardworking Piscean. A nice, refreshing plunge into 

the social swim can recharge your physical and emotional batteries. 

BORN THIS WEEK: You love to travel and be with people. You 

probably would be happy as a social director on a cruise ship.
