Need Help Learning About Hemp Products? 

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter 

––––––––––––––––– 

REGIONAL – In the confusing 

and evolving world of cannabis 

products, there is an oasis here of 

information that is open to all. 

To visit the Cape Ann Botanicals 

shop at 8 Central Street, you don’t 

have to spend $250 for a medical 

marijuana card. You can bring 

friends or family members of all 

ages to the shop. You can ask as 

many questions as you want of very 

knowledgeable people, including 

doctors and nurses. 

And none of the products sold at 

Cape Ann Botanicals will get you 

addicted or high. Its products have 

less than .03 percent per deciliter 

of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), 

the psychoactive ingredient in 

marijuana. 

The shop on a major downtown 

intersection looks a lot like a highend 

beauty spa. And even the name 

of the shop is non-threatening. 

“We want to be here as a source 

of information,” said Carla Villa, 

IPSWICH – For almost 20 years, it has 

been the dream of teenagers and millennials 

here to have a skateboard park, a place they 

could meet. 

On Monday night, the Ipswich Board 

of Selectmen will be asked to end those 

years of frustration by accepting a $30,000 

grant from the Essex County Community 

Foundation to build a skateboard park in 

Bialek Park. 

But it is not just any skateboard park. 

It will be The Switch Rideable Sculpture 

Park. 

Typical of Ipswich, the park, as the name 

suggests, “is much more than a skateboard 

park,” said Kerrie Bates, director of the town’s 

Recreation and Culture Department.

manager of the shop. “We are trying 

to change the culture. There is 100 

years of stigma to overcome.”

Serves in U.S. Navy, Lives in

electrical device. 

Yesair credits success in the Navy with lessons learned growing up in 

Byfield. 

“My father has always taught me that hard work will get you far in life and 

helps you, as an individual,” said Yesair. 

These four destroyers are forward-deployed in Rota to fulfill the United 

States’ phased commitment to NATO BMD while also carrying out a wide 

range of missions to support the security of Europe. 

According to the NATO website, many countries have, or are trying to 

develop ballistic missiles. The ability to acquire these capabilities does not 

necessarily mean there is an immediate intent to attack NATO, but that the 

alliance has a responsibility to take any possible threat into account as part 

of its core task of collective defense. 

U.S. Navy Aegis ballistic missile defense provides scalability, flexibility 

and mobility. These systems are equally beneficial to U.S. assets, allies and 

regional partners in all areas of the world. Positioning four ballistic missile 

defense ships in Spain provides an umbrella of protection to forwarddeployed 

forces, friends and allies while contributing to a broader defense 

of the United States. 

Guided-missile destroyers are 510 feet long warships that provide multimission 

offensive and defensive capabilities. The ships are armed with 

tomahawk cruise missiles, advanced gun systems, close-in gun systems and 

long-range missiles to counter the threat to friendly forces posed by manned 

aircraft, anti-ship, cruise and tactical ballistic missiles. 

Destroyers are deployed globally and can operate independently or as 

part of carrier strike groups, surface action groups or amphibious readiness 

groups. Their presence helps the Navy control the sea. Sea control is the 

necessity for everything the Navy does. The Navy cannot project power, 

secure the commons, deter aggression, or assure allies without the ability to 

control the seas when and where desired. 

The ship is named after Medal of Honor recipient and Vietnam prisoner 

of war, U.S. Marine Corps Col. Donald G. Cook. 

“Donald Cook’s crew is second to none in competency, resiliency and 

enthusiasm,” said Cmdr. Matthew J. Powel, commanding officer of USS 

Donald Cook. “This team comes in to work every day ready to accomplish 

the mission in one of the most demanding sea duty schedules the Navy has 

to offer and I couldn’t be more proud to be their captain.” 

Serving in the Navy is a continuing tradition of military service for Yesair, 

who has military ties with family members who have previously served. 

Yesair is honored to carry on that family tradition. 

“My uncle served in the Army for a little over 40 years. My great uncle 

served in WWII on D-Day,” said Yesair. “They both influenced me to join 

the military through various stroies of everyday life in the military.” 

While serving in the Navy may present many challenges, Yesair has found 

many great rewards. 

Yesair is proud of advancing to petty officer third class. In addition, he is 

greatful to have been given the opportunity to serve in the U.S. Navy and 

intends to complete 20 years of service. 

The hard work and professionalism of more than 300 women and men 

aboard Donald Cook are a testament to the namesake’s dedication and the 

ship’s motto, “Faith Without Fear.” 

Unique experiences build strong fellowship among the crew of more 

than 300 women and men aboard USS Donald Cook. Their hard work 

and professionalism are a testament to the namesake’s dedication and the 

ship’s motto, “Faith Without Fear.” The crew is motivated, and can quickly 

adapt to changing conditions, according to Navy officials. It is a busy life 

of specialized work, watches and drills. Serving aboard a guided-missile 

destroyer instills accountability and toughness and fosters initiative and 

integrity. 

As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Yesair and 

other USS Donald Cook sailors know they are a part of a legacy that will last 

beyond their lifetimes providing the Navy the nation needs. 

“Discipline, hard work, time management, along with many other traits 

have aided me professionally in the Navy,” said Yesair. “All these traits have 

set myself up for a successful future in the Navy and outside of the Navy.”

powered, low-voltage LED lights. 

The goal of the skateboard park 

is to create a center for creative 

expression, while engaging and 

empowering young entrepreneurs 

into civic contributors, the 

application for the grant read. “We 

expect The Switch will appeal across 

cultural divides, drawing residents, 

visitors, artists, athletes, performers 

and spectators from across Essex 

County.” 

The park will allow “Boarders 

momentum and trajectory, 

perfecting balance, grace and style, 

while musicians play and painters 

paint,” the application states. 

The grant is one of 11 creative 

projects that were funded by a 

partnership of the Essex County 

Community Foundation and the 

Barr Foundation. The grants, which 

total $300,000, will fund arts and 

culture projects throughout Essex 

County.

vapes, designed to reduce a variety of 

ailments from pain and sleeplessness 

to epilepsy and anxiety. Some of the 

creams it sells are even designed to 

help your skin. 

Kalker, working with his brother, 

Kurt, a 25-year licensed pediatric 

nurse, and Villa, a daughter-in-law, 

opened the shop six weeks ago. 

The successful businessman is also 

building two medical marijuana 

dispensaries, one in Ipswich and the 

other in Rowley 

Besides seeing a business 

opportunity, Spencer and Kirk have 

personal reasons for wanting to 

offer people hemp products. They 

lost their mother and oldest brother 

to cancer, and Spencer watched 

three friends suffer and die from 

cancer and diabetes-related illnesses. 

Spencer injured a nerve in his right 

arm, which causes numbness. And 

Kurt had two motorcycle accidents 

and 13 orthopedic surgeries, which 

left him in pain that synthetic pain 

killers do not relieve. 

Hemp-derived products help 

reduce their pain and they believe 

could have helped their brother, 

mother and friends. But since 1937, 

until recently, such products were 

illegal. 

“The thing that frustrates me is 

that so many people have suffered 

all these years,” Spencer said. When 

the laws in Massachusetts began to 

change, he told his brother, then 

living in California, “We can do 

something about this.” 

Cannabis has been around for at 

least 5,000 years. It fell out of favor 

in the U.S. because hemp competed 

organization, was established 

31 years ago by Amos and 

Barbara Hostetter, who founded 

Continental Cablevision. 

The Ipswich Selectmen reviewed 

the grant award last week, but 

postponed accepting it while 

it considers the impact of the 

proposed skateboard park. It meets 

at 7 p.m. Monday at Town Hall. 

The skateboard park, which 

would be developed in three phases, 

derived its name from a combination 

of terms. The Switch, as the park 

may be nicknamed, denotes change. 

It is also a nickname for Ipswich. 

And in skateboard slang, switch is a 

term that means riding backwards 

and thus creatively and with greater 

skill. 

Each phase of the construction 

would built about a third of the 

8,000 square-foot hardscape. 

The grant would be used to buy 

materials. Most of the design and 

construction would be donated by 

local residents who have grown up 

wanting a skate park. 

with paper made from trees. The 

U.S. Constitution, Spencer said, 

is printed on paper, derived from 

hemp. 

Hemp in ropes also competed with 

a new synthetic product, polyester. 

When the federal government 

began to tax and ban hemp products, 

doctors complained that it helped 

patients with pain. But then aspirin 

was invented, Spencer said. 

Today, it competes with some 

pharmaceuticals, particularly 

opoids. 

While the Kalker brothers readily 

concede that much more research 

needs to be done on hemp, Kurt said, 

“What I don’t see is why any doctor 

would prescribe opoids, which are 

killing people, instead of cannabis, 

which has never killed anyone.” 

Spencer said, “This product is a 

miracle worker.” 

When they opened the shop in 

June, Villa expected most of her 

customers would be older, pain 

sufferers. Others would need help 

sleeping, she said. 

To her surprise, a large number of 

old and young have come looking for 

a non-addictive product to reduce 

anxieties. 

There was the grandfather looking 

for something to calm his nerves 

before he went out on a boat trip 

with his six grandchildren. And there 

was the father of an 18 year old who 

came to see if Cape Ann Botanicals 

had a product that could reduce his 

anxiety attacks. He was prescribed 

Prozac for his anxieties of going to 

school or work, but the drug had not 

worked. 

The 18 year old came back into 

Among those who are 

volunteering their time and skills 

are Tom DuPere, a sculptor and 

painter with Artisan SkateParks, 

Daniel Bates, an architect with 

The Bates Design Collaboration, 

Barbara Monahan, an organic 

landscape designer and member of 

the Town’s Public Art and Shade 

and Beautification committees, 

Thaddeus Sadowski, president of 

the Sculpture In Open Spaces, 

Alex Pechillis and Luke Butler, coowners 

of Full Circle Independent 

Builders and Phil Todisco Glass. 

The Switch, which would be owned 

by the town, has a governing board 

that includes Steph Lavita of New 

England’s Female Skateboarding, 

Nate Newton: strategist, fundraiser, 

music promoter and member of the 

Bialek Park Planning Committee 

and Emily Getchell, arts educator, 

muralist and project muse. 

If the grant is accepted by the 

selectmen, estimates are that the 

park would be completed in the fall 

of 2019. 

the shop a few days later with a big 

smile. He told Kurt the morning 

after he put a drop of hemp-derived 

oil under his tongue was the first time 

he had awakened without anxieties. 

The shop offers 15 or 16 oils, which 

range in price from $30 to $145. A 

bottle will last between a month 

and two months, depending on the 

dosage. The oils vary in strength and 

taste. Some even taste like chocolate 

or mint. 

Every product in the shop is vetted 

by a third party lab and the staff. “We 

have done our research,” Kurt said. 

The other big difference between 

Cape Ann Botanicals and most 

medical marijuana dispensaries is 

that it is staffed by Kurt, a full-time 

nurse with certifications in hempderived 

products. He also speaks at 

medical organizations and attends 

prestigious symposiums, including 

one last year at Harvard Medical 

School. 

Questions about products are free. 

But if more consultation is needed, 

Kurt offers a 20-minute session for 

$29.99, an hour for $99 and a threemonth 

therapy course for $299. 

On Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 

p.m. a doctor from Canna Docs is on 

hand to prescribe medical marijuana 

cards. 

And on Sunday mornings, the 

shop, which now occupies the space 

Marty Donut Land was in for more 

than 50 years, offers coffee and 

donuts to customers. 

“We wanted to pay homage to 

Marty,” Spencer said.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 19th 

FREE outdoor theater 

festival 

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 Email: and greg@thetowncommon.com

councils. Parking is at the Maudslay

Health & Wellness 

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD 

Research shows that babies are 

born without any harmful bacteria 

in their mouths. However, once 

bacteria colonize in the mouth, 

children are more prone to cavities 

in their baby teeth and permanent 

teeth. How do they get the bacteria? 

Caregivers. 

Most parents don’t know that 

they can pass harmful bacteria from 

their mouth to their baby’s mouth. 

The most critical time is during 

the child’s first 2 ½ years of life. 

Most children are born without a 

single tooth. Can bacteria passed to 

children without teeth affect their 

decay potential for their whole life? 

According to research the answer is 

yes. 

Here’s a shocker…..If you have 

a history of poor oral health, 

including many fillings in your 

mouth, you are much more likely 

to transfer these harmful bacteria to 

children. How? Typically, this takes 

place through common parental or 

caregiver behaviors such as sharing 

utensils or cleaning a baby’s pacifier 

with your own saliva. 

Prevention starts as early as 6 

months into a pregnancy. Research 

shows that expectant mothers 

Whether you’re living on just 

Social Security or have additional 

income, it never hurts to save 

every dollar you can. There are 

many ways to do that. 

-- If you have pets, look into 

buying their food from online 

pet stores. Often you’ll get free 

shipping above a certain purchase 

amount or a considerable discount 

the first time you buy. Order 

enough to make it worthwhile. 

-- If you’re a member of AARP, 

keep an eye on its discounts. 

Whether it’s restaurants, ordering

Starting at Birth - Step 1 

who chewed gum containing the 

sweetener xylitol are much less 

likely to have decay-causing bacteria 

in their saliva. So, take-home point 

number one, it is essential for 

expectant parents and caregivers to 

keep their own mouths healthy. If 

you reduce the bacterial levels in 

your own mouth, you are not only 

benefiting yourself but also that 

of your unborn child. Visiting a 

dentist regularly, even more often 

when you are pregnant, improving 

your homecare, and using products 

that specifically reduce bacteria are 

all essential. 

Your baby is born; now what? 

First, eliminate potential ways of 

transferring saliva to your baby. Do 

not share utensils or let grandma 

or grandpa lick a cloth to clean 

around a baby’s mouth. Wiping 

your baby’s gums with a clean cloth 

after meals is also good practice to 

help reduce bacterial levels. 

Once a child starts getting teeth, 

diet plays a significantly greater 

role. Minimizing snacks and 

drinks with fermentable sugars 

is key. This starts with the bottle. 

Bottle syndrome, also known as 

baby bottle tooth decay, occurs 

when teeth become exposed, at 

length and frequently, to liquids 

containing a form of sugar. All 

liquids that contain sugar can cause 

bottle syndrome, including breast 

and cow’s milk (which contain the 

sugar lactose), formula, fruit juice 

(which contains the sugar fructose),

your card. 

-- If you have a tablet or 

computer, look into getting your 

newspaper online. You could save 

as much as two-thirds the cost of 

your subscription. 

-- Keep up with the 

maintenance on your vehicle. Put 

oil changes on your calendar and 

get them done, as well as having 

tires checked and rotated. You’ll 

save money in the long run. 

-- Check your local paper for

as concerts in the park, library 

events with free movies or author 

readings, museum free days and 

street art shows. 

soda and other sweetened drinks. It 

is caused by the constant presence 

of milk, formula, or fruit juice in 

a child’s mouth during the night, 

during breastfeeding, during naps, 

or for extended periods during the 

day. The liquid pools around the 

teeth and gums, providing food for 

the bacteria in plaque. The bacteria 

produce acid as a byproduct when 

they consume the sugar. This acid 

attacks your child’s teeth and causes 

decay. 

When your child feels 

comfortable with a toothbrush, 

brush their teeth and gums twice a 

day with an extra-soft toothbrush. 

Use a pea-sized amount of 

toothpaste without fluoride until 

your child is old enough to spit. If 

your child doesn’t like toothpaste, 

it’s fine to brush without it. 

Prevention starts before babies 

are born. It starts with taking care 

of your own mouth.
