NEWBURYPORT – Plans for a second 

new beer pub and event space on Parker 

Road was put on hold last week while 

the owner of a large tract of land in the 

Newburyport Business Park looks for a 

solution to the site’s parking and wetlands 

challenges. 

The popular Newburyport Brewing Co., 

which started producing several popular 

beers in 2013, wanted to lease three lots at 

77-79 Parker Rd. for a new brewery, tap 

room and venue for events and corporate 

meeting space. 

Plans were to renovate the last remaining 

residential farmhouse on the corner of Graf 

Road and Parker in the business park into 

offices. The event space would be in the 

renovated barn. 

But those plans ended abruptly last week, 

at least temporarily, when property owner 

David Cowie’s Plum Island LLC withdrew 

REGIONAL – Every summer, the North 

Shore attracts a large number of tourists, 

who come here to enjoy its beaches, 

historical homes and buildings and several 

unique sites. Among the visitors this year 

are the advertising producers for the New 

England Honda dealers. 

If you watch car commercials on 

television, you may have noticed the 

latest Honda ad running features a 

couple stopping at Bob Lobster on the 

Plum Island Turnpike. Carrying their 

lobster rolls to their Honda, the couple 

is harassed, ala Alfred Hitchcock’s movie 

The Birds, by a flock of sea gulls hanging 

out looking for scraps at Bob Lobster. 

As the couple races away on Plum Island 

Turnpike, in the background is one of the 

region’s most interesting sites – the Pink 

House. 

“Both Bob Lobster and The Pink House 

are icons to our neck of the woods,”

the application for a variance from the 

city’s Zoning Board of Appeal. The ZBA 

members were balking at plans to use offsite 

parking for the brewery, tap room 

and event space. 

The site presents several challenges to 

Photo taken from the Honda commercial 

redevelopment. Notably much of it is in 

the drainage area for the Parker River and 

is prone to flooding. 

If it had been approved, the Newburyport 

Brewery would have located its tap room 

a block away from Riverwalk Brewery, 

which opened a 165-seat tasting room at 

40 Parker St. in December. Brewing since 

2012 in the business park, Riverwalk 

moved form 2,000 square feet on Graf 

Road to a 20,000 square-foot space next 

to Mark Richey Woodworking and the 

Clipper Heritage Rail Trail. 

Being within walking distance of each 

other would make Parker Road here a 

major stop in New England for increasingly 

popular beer tours. 

Cowie and Newburyport Brewing can 

reapply to the ZBA in the future.

leaders of the Support the Pink House 

organization. “The area would not be the 

same charming, unique place without 

them.” 

Joseph, who has worked on television 

production sets, said she spotted a crew 

filming at Bob Lobster several weeks 

ago. She wrote: “I wistfully slowed down 

and smiled.” She posted a note about it 

on the Facebook site for the Pink House 

supporters, but she did not know that it 

would include a brief shot of the Pink 

House. 

In mid-July when the commercial aired 

for the first time, she said, “I’d barely 

opened my eyes that morning before it 

was posted in several places - and I was 

tagged. And it was posted on our wall at

the project applicant can start 

over. Because member Ed 

Cameron could not vote, only 

four members of the zoning 

board could vote on the project. 

If one had voted no, the project 

would have been turned down 

for its special permit. 

In addition to the ZBA, Cowie 

and Newburyport Brewing must 

win the approval of the Planning 

Board, the Conservation 

Commission and the Historical 

Commission, which has approved 

removing the summer kitchen on 

the 1850s-era farmhouse.

The barn, which would become 

a venue for corporate and 

entertainment venues, would be 

large enough for 135 seats inside 

and 40 outside. 

“Petitioner is seeking to add 

an amenity much needed in the 

business/industrial park – that is 

a meeting space and function hall 

availability,” the application for a 

special permit stated. 

Several residents criticized the 

project as being too large for the 

old farm site. 

To meet concerns the ZBA had 

about the project, Cowie and the 

brewery had offered to limit the 

number of customers on site. 

If the tap room was having an 

event, the barn could not hold 

one simultaneously. 

“It’s too bad all the parking is 

not in the same place,” said ZBA 

chairman Edward Ramsdell. 

The offsite parking, which 

would have been on an adjacent 

lot, would require that the owner 

build either a sidewalk along 

Parker Road or a walkway through 

wetlands. The Conservation 

Commission was considering 

which remedy would be better. 

Newburyport Brewing, 

founded by Chris Webb and Bill 

Fisher, is now a few blocks away 

in an 8,330-square foot facility at 

4 Pasture Rd. 

It currently hosts live music on 

Thursday, Friday and Saturday 

nights in its taproom. Webb and 

Fisher play in a seven-piece funk 

band named Das Pintos, which 

performs at the tap room. 

Riverwalk also has a tap room, 

which is currently offering a 

dozen different beers from lagers 

and stouts to pale ales and Belgian 

whites.

A TALE OF TWO BEACHES 

- PLUM ISLAND & SALISBURY 

BEACH 

Friday, August 3rd, 7:00 – 9:00 

p.m. How did Plum Island and 

Salisbury Beach evolve from remote 

and inhospitable barrier beaches into 

popular beachfront destinations? Why 

do they have such distinct personalities? 

With the help of dozens of fascinating 

photos, maps, documents and postcards, 

presenter John Macone will present “A 

Tale of Two Beaches.” Once remote 

places, the beaches have evolved and 

changed. The presentation will describe 

the dramatic events that have altered the 

coastline and effected the communities: 

erosion from severe storms, devastating 

fires, and shipwrecks. John Macone is 

the former editor of the Daily News 

of Newburyport and co-author of 

the book “Plum Island and Salisbury 

Memories”. He currently works as the 

Communications and Development 

Specialist for the Merrimack River 

Watershed Council. Spaces in the 

refuge’s 85-seat auditorium will be filled 

on a first come, first served basis. This 

free evening program is being presented 

in partnership with Newburyport’s 

Yankee Homecoming historical lecture 

series and is sponsored by the Friends of 

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge 

and Parker River NWR. Spaces in the 

refuge’s 85-seat auditorium will be filled 

on a first come, first served basis. NO

NEWBURYPORT - Officials at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge have announced that 

a portion of the refuge beach have reopened to the public. Specifically, the portion of the beach 

beginning at boardwalk 6 and extending south to the boundary with Sandy Point State Reservation, 

will be open to public access. The portion of the refuge beach accessible via boardwalk 1 remains open, 

as it has been all summer. All other areas of the refuge beach will remain closed until further notice. 

The reopening of sections of the refuge beach also means that walk-on night fishing will once again be 

permitted – limited to those areas of the beach that are open to the public. The night fishing permits, 

which have been available since July 1st, may be obtained at either the refuge entrance station or at the 

headquarters during normal business hours (M-F, 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.). Most of the refuge beach 

is closed every April 1st due to the presence of breeding piping plovers, a federally protected species. 

Typically, in late summer, as the plover chicks fledge (or are able to fly), the beach gradually reopens. 

For the latest about the beach status, readers are directed to the refuge’s Facebook page.

NEWBURYPORT - Theater in the Open will present its FREE outdoor theater festival at Maudslay 

State Park the weekend of August 18-19 putting on four full productions in two days. The Theater 

in the Open Festival rounds out TITO’s 39th summer season with performances of each spring and 

summer show produced so far this year. On Saturday, Family Hour in the Open is at 11am and A 

Jack and the Beanstalk Panto! is at 2pm. Sunday Much Ado About Nothing is performed at 1pm and 

Medea at 5pm. The productions will feature over twenty local actors, and five local directors, including 

Artistic Director of Theater in the Open, Edward Speck. “After last year’s success — bringing over 600 

people into the Park — we couldn’t be more excited to put on the Festival again this year,” says Speck, 

“having so many people enjoy both our art and the beautiful state park all at once is so gratifying. But 

what really stood out to us last year was the range of audience interest. We had children who came out 

and enjoyed watching Shakespeare, or who saw Antigone for the first time, and adults who howled 

with laughter watching Family Hour in the Open. We also had a lot of visitors from outside of our 

immediate area who came to see a TITO production for the first time.” Family Hour is Theater in 

the Open’s monthly performance of singing, storytelling, and bubbles aimed at children and families. 

Put on by TITO’s Company, Family Hour is a perfect introduction to Theater in the Open for young 

audiences. A Jack and the Beanstalk Panto! builds on the themes and storyline from the popular 

folk tale, Jack and the Beanstalk. Directors Edward Speck and Josh Shack have created a comedic 

adventure for Jack and Jill that will delight and entertain audiences of all ages. William Shakespeare’s 

classic comedy, Much Ado About Nothing is a remount of TITO’s 1997 version, also directed by 

Bonniejean Wilbur. Much Ado is the story of love, mistaken identity, and family honor. Much Ado 

About Nothing is appropriate for audiences of all ages. Finally, Euripides’ tragedy Medea is a chilling 

account of a mother pushed beyond the limit of suffering, exacting revenge in the only way she can. 

Medea is directed by Stephen Haley, and features Newburyport actors Sierra Gitlin and Edward Speck 

as Medea and Jason. Medea may not be appropriate for young audiences, for more information call 

Theater in the Open’s office at 978-465-2572. The Theater in the Open Festival is free and open to the 

public. Theater in the Open is supported by generous grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council 

and from local cultural councils. Parking is at the Maudslay State Park lot (DCR parking rates are $5 

for MA plates, and $10 for out of state). Allow for a brief walk to the performance sites. For more 

information, visit theaterintheopen.org.

persuade you to change your mind. 

Why is this cat laughing? 

He is so excited and happy that his humans just listed the 

family’s largest asset (their home) with Kathryn O’Brien. 

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With new facts to work 

with, you should feel more confident in moving ahead. 

But continue to do so at an unhurried pace so you can 

spot details you might otherwise miss. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Taking on that new 

workplace project could be one of your smarter career 

moves. Expect a surprising show of support from someone 

who had always been a critic. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel you’re 

too busy to undertake a new responsibility. But check it 

out before making any decisions. What you learn could 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel quite content enjoying all the 

comforts of home right now. But the urge to travel grows stronger, and 

by week’s end, you could begin packing your bags. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A hectic period begins to ease up, but 

that doesn’t mean the Fine Feline can do much catnapping these days. 

You need to finish those old tasks and prepare for new ones. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Expect to get some good news 

about your financial situation by week’s end. But it could still be too 

early to rush out with a long shopping list of things to buy. 

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your management skills make 

an impression on some workplace VIPs who might be looking for 

someone like you to take on an upcoming project. Good luck. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Meeting a former adversary 

might be unsettling at first. But time has softened hard feelings, and 

you could be on the brink of starting a new relationship. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A troubling 

situation close to home might cause you to change your travel plans. 

But getting all the facts before you act might cause you to reconsider. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might be quite 

alone right now in deciding to support a major workplace shift. But 

others will join you as new information supports your bold move. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A former co-worker returns 

with news that could persuade you to reassess recently made plans. Be 

sure to consult with a trusted colleague before you act. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your motives behind a recent 

decision could be called into question by a rival. But once you present 

the facts, all doubts will be resolved. Enjoy an arts-rich weekend. 

BORN THIS WEEK: While you love being the center of attention, 

your generous heart allows you to share the attention with others.

Health & Wellness 

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD 

Today and next week is a reintroduction 

to what this severely 

underdiagnosed medical condition 

is, and the different ways to treat 

it. The more you become aware of 

the different symptoms associated 

with this problem, the more likely 

you are to identify whether you 

or a loved one may be affected. 

Treatment can extend life. 

Sleep apnea is a serious, potentially 

life-threatening sleep disorder that 

affects approximately 18 million 

Americans. It comes from the Greek 

meaning of apnea which means 

“want of breath”. People with sleep 

apnea have episodes in which they 

stop breathing for 10 seconds or 

more during sleep. (Note: They are 

always unaware this happens.) 

Diagnosis of sleep apnea usually 

requires an overnight sleep study 

in a sleep lab, although there are 

methods for diagnosis at home. 

In fact, more and more sleep 

physicians are using home testing 

devices because they have improved 

in reliability. 

There are two major types of sleep 

apnea, both of which can severely 

disrupt the regular sleep cycle. 

Obstructive sleep apnea is when 

the muscles in the walls of the

Intro to Sleep Apnea – Part 1 

throat relax to the point where the 

airway collapses and prevents air 

from flowing into your nose and 

mouth. However, as you continue 

to sleep you also continue to try to 

breathe. This is the most common 

type of sleep apnea. 

Central sleep apnea is the other 

type. This is when breathing 

interruptions during sleep are 

caused by problems with the brain 

mechanisms that control breathing. 

What are the symptoms associated 

with sleep apnea? People with sleep 

apnea usually do not remember 

waking up during the night. 

Some of the potential problems 

may include morning headaches, 

excessive daytime sleepiness, 

irritability and impaired mental or 

emotional functioning, excessive 

snoring, choking/gasping during 

sleep, insomnia, or awakening with 

a dry mouth or throat. 

So, what is the difference between 

snoring and sleep apnea? Unlike 

mild/moderate snoring, individuals 

with sleep apnea stop breathing 

completely for 10 seconds or more, 

typically between 10 and 60 times 

in a single night. If the person 

sleeping in the same room hears 

loud snoring punctuated by silences 

and then a snort or choking sound 

as breathing then resumes, this 

could be sleep apnea. (Note: In fact, 

these witnessed events are a strong 

indicator of sleep apnea.) 

Studies have shown that people 

with diagnosed sleep apnea can be 

so fatigued during the day that, 

when driving, their performance is

To see what the binder looks 

like, go to Amazon and search 

for “Cherished Memories.” You’ll 

see the option of using a Kindle 

version or the 3-ring binder. Click 

on Look Inside and scroll down 

the sample pages. It starts with an 

Introduction to show you how to 

use the book. Section 3 is about 

birth to age 12, where you write 

information about your childhood 

experiences and memories, what 

you did for fun, and school. 

By Section 6, it gets into 

your personal values and the 

philosophies you want to pass 

on to others. Section 7 is My 

Favorites, and it’s my own 

personal favorite section. It gives 

a place to document favorite 

similar to that of a drunk driver. If 

left untreated, sleep apnea can lead 

to impaired daytime functioning, 

high blood pressure, heart attack, 

or stroke. 

Sleep apnea is a medical problem 

and must be diagnosed by, and 

treatment dictated, by a physician. 

Since many people see their dentist 

on a regular basis, if there is any 

concern of sleep apnea, the dentist 

can work closely with a physician 

to refer for evaluation. If a positive 

diagnosis is made, the dentist 

and MD can work together to 

implement and manage a prescribed 

therapy. 

More and more dentists are 

getting training in this area of 

medicine because they can be a 

help in the treatment of some of 

the problems associated with sleeprelated 

issues. In my experience, 

there also seems to be a large 

part of the population who are 

un-diagnosed, or are diagnosed

Cherished Memories Bound Together 

I know what my project is 

going to be when it’s too hot to 

go out this summer: I’m going to 

complete a Bio Binder Cherished 

Memories book. 

The purpose of the 100-page 

Cherished Memories book is to 

leave for your family a record of all 

your memories. Better than that, 

however, is having the opportunity 

to think back over your own life, 

what your dreams were, how you 

got to where you are today, what 

you hope for your family, and 

animals (maybe the pets you 

had as a child), books, television 

shows, foods and more. There’s 

also the option to add newspaper 

clippings, photos, letters and your 

family tree. 

You don’t have to start at the 

beginning -- pick your favorite 

section and begin there. 

Another way to approach this 

would be to create one of the 

binders with your parent. Just 

asking the questions themselves will 

open up lots of great discussions, 

especially if you include your own 

children in the project. 

You can go directly to the seller 

at biobinders.com/bb_purchase.

binder.
