NEWBURYPORT - 

Khaki Paquette has been 

an Esthetician for over a 

decade and about 5 years 

ago she began a journey to 

discover more natural and 

healthy skincare products 

she could use personally 

and on her clients. There 

wasn’t much out there (at 

least not that she could 

find on the East coast) 

as far as “green beauty” 

products yet. Khaki became 

increasingly unimpressed 

with conventional spa and 

personal care products 

so she sort of decided to 

take matters into her own 

hands. 

Khaki started crafting

But one $10 gold coin with his 

face on it was produced in 1792 

in Newburyport by Jacob Perkins, 

probably the city’s most famous 

and accomplished resident. 

When a friend sent the coin to 

Washington, the President liked 

it so much he kept it. He never 

spent it, but carried Perkins’ coin 

in his pocket. 

The unique coin will go up 

for auction on Aug. 16 at the 

American Numismatic Assn.’s 

World’s Fair of Money in 

Philadelphia, PA. It has been part 

of the Eric Newman Collection 

since 1942. Newman, who died 

last year at age 106, was one of 

the world’s most prolific coin 

collectors and authorities. 


REGIONAL – If you are 

thinking about adding solar 

power to reduce your utility 

costs, but don’t like the look of 

raised solar panels on your roof, 

take a look in Salisbury at the 

new roof on the Johnson Lumber 

building. 

It appears to be a standard 

metal roof on the 6,500 squarefoot 

building. But look closer. 

The 10 feet at the top of the roof 

are different. Those panels across 

a 1,000 square feet of the roof 

are collecting solar rays that this 

winter will heat the air and water 

inside the building. 

This is the brainchild of Fred 

Harkness, whose Harkness Built 

has been framing houses and 

buildings for 35 years. Harkness 

has long been interested in solar

simple balms and creams at home 

using recipes she found online 

and drawing from her knowledge 

of botanical ingredients and 

their benefits. She very shortly 

after opened up an Etsy shop 

which sort of took off! Khaki 

experimented and tested at 

home with her then 6 month 

old daughter, Lucy until she 

ended up with quite an extensive 

skincare line. That Etsy shop is 

still booming today, it’s kind of 

amazing! 

Khaki had taken a pause from 

Esthetics and was working from 

home making these products 

until it was quite literally taking 

over her kitchen. She missed 

seeing clients and desperately 

needed to move from her kitchen 

into another space. This is when 

she opened up Face Food Natural 

Skincare Studio (and found out 

she was pregnant with #2!), a 

cozy home away from home in 

downtown Newburyport above 

a local coffee shop. This space 

acted as her production studio, 

shipping warehouse AND spa 

where she took by appointment 

clients for facials, waxing and 

make-up services. Khaki had her 

lovely little studio space for 3 

years until a very recent move. 

Khaki dreamt of having a 

storefront and skincare spa in 

Newburyport and was keeping 

her eyes peeled for the right 

space. Things aligned perfectly 

and with a leap and an open heart 

she just opened Newburyport’s 

first Natural Beauty Market and 

Spa. The new location is 800 

square feet of retail and spa space 

right in the center of downtown 

Newburyport. 

At Face Food Beauty Market 

you will not only find the entire 

Face Food skincare line but 

a broad selection of curated 

skincare, body care, make-up, 

baby and mamma products 

and more. Now Face Food is 

your one stop shop for healthy, 

organic products that you can 

trust. Everything in the store has 

been handpicked by Khaki and 

she only carries brands she knows 

and trusts. In the Face Food Spa 

you can book appointments for 

all-natural European style facials, 

gentle waxing services, make-up 

applications and lessons using 

high performing healthy makeup. 

It has been a dream come true 

for Khaki. She gets to see her 

clients and the general public 

and her hope and mission is to 

gently educate people about 

natural beauty products while 

making them feel like self-care 

and self-love are an essential 

part of well-being. It is Khaki’s 

absolute pleasure to make these 

sorts of products accessible to 

people who may not have known 

they exist otherwise!

home spends 75 percent of 

its energy on water and space 

heating. INroof offers an 

opportunity to save on rising 

heating costs, while reducing a 

home’s carbon footprint. 

The panels are not only pretty 

to look at, they are much more 

efficient, capturing about 65 

percent of the sun’s energy as 

compared to 15 to 20 percent for 

the photovoltaic panels. 

Harkness named his company, 

INroof Solar, and is producing the 

panels at CI Works in Amesbury. 

The name is apt. Everything to 

produce heat is inside the panels, 

invisible to anyone looking at the 

roof. 

Running through the metal 

panel is a tube that contains a 

glycol solution. When heated, 

the glycol transfers the heat to a 

storage unit. A water source heat 

pump heats the building and 

water heaters. 

Metal roofs have other 

advantages. They carry a 30- 


Out of his extensive coin 

collection, Newman called 

the 1792 Washington coin his 

favorite. 

“This coin is unique in 

that it was owned by George 

Washington. It is unique as the 

earliest gold pattern prepared for 

the United States coinage; and 

it is unique because only one 

example of the coin was made,” 

Newman wrote. “What other 

American coin can command 

historical and numismatic respect 

of that magnitude.” 

Jim Halperin, co-founder of 

Heritage Auctions, which will 

auction the coin, wrote that the 

Washington President gold eagle 

is “monumentally important, 

being the earliest gold pattern 

submitted for consideration as a 

United States coin.” 

“It is almost certainly George 

Washington’s personal pocket 

piece,” Halperin wrote. 

Charles Doyle, owner of 

Replica Coins in Amesbury, 

predicted that George’s Coin, as it 

is known, might bring at auction 

as much as $10 million. 

Perkins is referred to as a 

polymath, a person with wideranging 

knowledge or learning. 

Born to a family of 18 children, 

he is considered to be the father of 

the refrigerator, and his inventions 

include the first U.S. postage 

stamp, a nail manufacturing 

machine and a bathometer to 

measure ocean depths.

collectors have a smooth, solarcollecting 

coating that sheds 

snow easily. If necessary heat can 

be pumped back through the roof 

to melt snow and ice. The panels 

are compatible with geothermal 

heating systems. 

Unlike standard metal roofs, 

the INroof panels “go to work 

for you” heating the building and 

reducing your heating bills, said 

Joe Dipietro, project manager for 

INroof. 

The INroof panels can be a 

“bit pricey,” he said. 

The INroof panels may be 

almost twice as expensive as a 

standard asphalt roof, but they 

are certified and qualify the 

owner for a 30 percent federal tax 

credit. Massachusetts is working 

on a tax rebate program. 

In 2017, INroof won a $60,000 

grant from the Massachusetts 

Clean Energy Center as part of its 

InnovateMass program. Harkness 

George Washington’s Coin 

accomplishments may be his 

printing and engraving. He 

printed some of the nation’s first 

school books and developed 

unforgeable paper currencies, 

which were vital to the young 

nation’s economy. 

Perkins’ mint today is part of 

the Museum of Old Newbury on 

High Street. When Doyle went 

for a tour recently, a docent told 

him not many people know that 

Perkins’ mint is there. 

At age 12, Perkins began his 

career as an inventor. He left 

school in Newburyport to be an 

apprentice to a goldsmith. When 

the goldsmith died three years 

later, 15-year-old Jacob continued 

the business, making gold beads. 

He soon added belt buckles. At 

21, the state of Massachusetts 

asked him to produce copper 

pennies bearing an eagle and an 

Indian. These are the 1778 cent 

and half cent coins. 

Doyle, who produces replicas 

of Greek, Roman, Biblical and 

colonial American coins, has 

struck replicas of the 1778 cent 

and half cent coins in his studio 

at CI Works in Amesbury. 

Dies for the early American 

coins were initially produced 

by Joseph Callender, a Boston 

engraver who had apprenticed 

with Paul Revere. The state 

thought his price of 24 shillings 

per die was too expensive, so they 

asked Perkins, who charged only 

3 shillings per die, to make these 

coins. 

George Washington’s coin 

used the grant to reduce the cost 

of installing the panels for the 

new roof at Johnson Lumber. 

The panels are great for 

upgrading any roof, but 

Dipietro believes they are ideal 

for new home and building 

construction. 

INroof, which has a patent 

pending on its technology, is 

installing the panels on several 

homes and boat houses in Maine. 

The goal is to manufacture the 

panels and let contractors install 

them. 

The company is also 

experimenting with adding thin 

photovoltaic solar collectors 

directly onto the metal panels. 

Together the metal roof, heating 

the glycol solution, and the thin 

photovoltaic collectors would 

heat the building and create 

electricity. 

DiPietro said Johnson Lumber 

is planning to install the INroof 

panels with the thin photovoltaic 

collectors on the back side of its 

roof next year.

Health & Wellness 

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD 

Last week I discussed what sleep 

apnea is. This week I will discuss 

diagnosis and treatment. 

Specialists who diagnose and treat 

sleep apnea express varying opinions 

about the cause and best treatment 

of the breathing disorder. Ask a 

lot of questions of each specialist 

to determine the most appropriate 

procedure or combination of 

procedures for your particular case. 

Here are the specialists who may be 

involved in diagnosing your sleep 

apnea and the ways they might 

assist you: 

An ear, nose and throat doctor 

(ENT) may recommend surgery to 

clear blockages caused by a genetic 

abnormality in the nose or throat. 

The uvulopalatopharyngoplasty 

(UPPP) procedure eliminates 

tissue from the back portion of 

the mouth near the top of the 

throat. The adenoids and tonsils 

may be removed as well. Should 

your airflow blockage be lifethreatening, 

the ENT may find it 

necessary to build an opening in 

the windpipe through a procedure 

called a tracheotomy. This would be 

an extreme case. Also, an operation 

on your nose might be necessary 

to improve a deviated septum or 

For most of us, the time 

eventually comes to move out of 

our homes into a smaller, more 

manageable place. Some of us 

have a whole house of belongings 

to consider. Some of us have not 

only our stuff, but much that 

belonged to our parents because we 

didn’t deal with their belongings - 

- we simply moved it all into our 

house. 

Here are some ideas to get you 

started: 

* Even if you’re not ready to 

move, clearing out the extras and

Intro to Sleep Apnea – Part 2 

to remove polyps that are blocking 

your airflow. 

A pulmonologist (a doctor who 

deals with diseases of the respiratory 

system) may recommend a 

sleep evaluation based on an 

analysis of your breathing muscle 

capacity. Pulmonologists may also 

recommend the use of oxygen 

should blood-oxygen levels fall to 

dangerous levels during sleep. 

A neurologist (a doctor who deals 

with nervous system disorders) will 

evaluate brain functionality and 

may recommend a medication 

such as acetazolamide to improve 

the brain’s ability to trigger the 

breathing muscles. 

A cardiologist (a doctor who 

deals with diseases and disorders of 

the heart) may recommend a sleep 

test as well. 

A sleep specialist may perform 

a sleep test that measures oxygen 

blood level (among other 

anatomical factors) during sleep. 

Sleep specialists may recommend 

the use of a continuous positive 

airway pressure (CPAP) machine. 

The machine delivers a continuous 

flow of oxygen through a mask that 

you wear over your nose during 

sleep. 

An alternative is a bi-level positive 

airway pressure (bi-level PAP) 

machine, which increases the oxygen 

level upon inhalation and decreases 

it upon exhalation. An adaptive 

servo-ventilation (ASV) machine 

is a third choice. This equipment 

measures your level of breathing 

and records the data so that oxygen

organizing the rest will make it 

easier when the time does come. 

* If you have antiques, get an 

appraiser to come in and give you 

an estimate of their value. 

* Ask for references to professional 

organizers. Check sites online, 

such as www.movingforseniors. 

com and www.nasmm.org, which 

is National Association of Senior 

Move Managers. Put in your ZIP 

code to see who’s in your area. 

* Consider selling your things 

online, with help. Check out 

www.ebth.com (aka Everything 

But the House) and read the How 

It Works section. They do nearly 

everything required to get your 

belongings sold, putting cash in 

your pocket. 

* Ask your children, if you have 

any, which of your belongings 

delivery can be matched to your 

specific needs. A CPAP machine is 

usually considered the best way to 

treat sleep apnea if the patient can 

tolerate it. 

Certain dentists and oral 

surgeons are skilled in evaluating 

the tongue for its ability to move 

freely and its tendency to block 

airflow during sleep. The tongue 

can become restricted as the mouth 

and gum tissue shrinks with age. 

In this case, a laser may be used 

to eliminate the tissue causing the 

tongue restriction. 

Another dental approach is to 

position the jaw so that airflow 

is not blocked. If the upper and 

lower jaws are responsible for sleep 

apnea, then an oral surgeon and an 

orthodontist may work together to 

relocate them. 

Finally, many patients with sleep 

apnea can be successfully treated 

with a dental appliance made by a 

dentist with experience in treating
