Cape Ann Botanicals Bringing Hemp The Pink House Getting Some Love<br />

Products to Newburyport<br />

REGIONAL – Spencer Kalker,<br />

who opened Cape Ann Botanicals<br />

in Ipswich last summer, is so<br />

pleased with how the North Shore<br />

community has embraced his<br />

shop, which sells hemp-derived<br />

products, he is opening a second<br />

store in Newburyport.<br />

“We are lucky to have a<br />

community that is open to us,”<br />

Kalker said. That community<br />

includes a number of customers<br />

from the greater Newburyport<br />

area.<br />

Kalker, who is working with the<br />

city to secure a building permit,<br />

expects the shop to open in a few<br />

weeks.<br />

On Pleasant Street across<br />

from the Unitarian Universalist<br />

Church, it will sell almost 100<br />

varieties of hemp-derived creams,<br />

oils, edibles and vapes.<br />

More importantly, Cape Ann<br />

Botanicals is a center for education<br />

and information. Its experienced<br />

staff and medical personnel dish<br />

out remedies for ailments from pain and sleeplessness to epilepsy and anxiety. Some of<br />

the creams Cape Ann sells are designed to help improve skin.<br />

Carla Villa, manager of the Ipswich shop, said, “We are trying to change the culture.<br />

There is 100 years of stigma to overcome.”<br />

Cape Ann Botanicals is not a “pot shop,” Kalker said.<br />

None of the products sold at Cape Ann Botanicals will get you addicted or high. Its<br />

products have less than .03 percent per deciliter of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the<br />

psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.<br />

Cape Ann Botanicals is not the only shop that has begun selling hemp-derived products<br />

in Newburyport. Other shops sell the products, including the Natural Dog near the Rte.<br />

1 Rotary, which has had a run on a hemp-based honey, suitable for dogs and people.<br />

And two doors from the new Cape Ann Botanicals shop on Pleasant Street, BC<br />

Essentials has added a hemp-based oil to its variety of stress-relieving products.<br />

When the Cape Ann Botanicals shop at 8 Central St. in Ipswich opened in June, the<br />

staff expected most of the customers would be older people in pain and others who need<br />

help sleeping.<br />

Kalker and his team have made presentations at the Ipswich senior center and plan<br />

to expand the outreach to seniors when it opens in Newburyport.<br />

Plum Island Property Management painters at the Pink House<br />

NEWBURY – If you drove passed the Pink House on Plum Island Turnpike<br />

recently and saw painters working on the iconic house, it would be easy to get<br />

excited that work was finally being done on the mysterious and popular structure.<br />

But don’t get too excited. The whole house is not being repainted, as much as<br />

it needs it. And no permanent solution has been found -- yet. A citizens group,<br />

Support the Pink House (STPH), is working, along with a host of government<br />

officials and non-profit organizations, to find one.<br />

“No, we are not allowed to paint the whole house,” wrote STPH Chair Rochelle<br />

Joseph in her blog at SupportthePinkHouse.com. “It is federally owned and not<br />

ours to do.”<br />

The Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, which bought the Pink House in<br />

20<strong>11</strong>, agreed to the request from the Support the Pink House citizens group to<br />

winterize it, including painting the porch skirting and door and window frames.<br />

“The Pink House is getting some love today, thanks to the OK by the Refuge<br />

to Support The Pink House’s requests,” Joseph wrote. “MANY thanks go to Bill<br />

Peterson, Refuge Manager, STPH Board Advisor Bill Barrett and his crew from Plum<br />

Island Property Management for doing the work, and to STPH Board Advisor Greg<br />

Jardis and his company Amesbury Industrial Supply for donating the paint!!”<br />

The Pink House, built in 1922, appears more often in photographs and on<br />

canvas than almost any other structure in New England. It had a small part last<br />

spring in a television commercial by the New England Honda Dealers, and the Trip<br />

Advisor web site just added the Pink House as a Place of Interest. Visit: http://bit.<br />

Anna Jaques Hospital Receives Two Prestigious<br />

Awards for Birth Center Efforts<br />

The Town Common Courtesy Photo<br />

Alison Sekelsky, MSN, RNC, Director of Maternal Child Health;<br />

Tasha Gunnarsson, RN, IBCLC; and Hannah Pawlendzio, RN,<br />

IBCLC, welcomed Baby Friendly-USA surveyors.<br />

NEWBURYPORT - Baby-Friendly USA, a credentialing<br />

program for hospitals that is part of an international<br />

initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO)<br />

and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF),<br />

announced that Anna Jaques Hospital has received the<br />

prestigious international recognition as a Designated Baby-<br />

Friendly birth facility. The initiative recognizes hospitals<br />

and birthing centers that offer an optimal level of care for<br />

families.<br />

Based on the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, this<br />

international award recognizes birth facilities that offer<br />

families the education, skills, and support needed to get off<br />

to the healthiest start and also to successfully initiate and<br />

continue breastfeeding their babies.<br />

Anna Jaques Hospital is one of only 14 hospitals in<br />

Massachusetts and the first on the North Shore who has<br />

successfully accomplished the honor of earning the Baby-<br />

Friendly designation.<br />

During the final assessment which was a rigorous<br />

two-day survey, there were no deficiencies cited under<br />

the Baby-Friendly model. Baby-Friendly surveyors<br />

shared that Anna Jaques, “promotes an extraordinary<br />

dedication to community health, wellness and passion to<br />

serve all mothers and infants. Staff exhibits a respectful<br />

and enthusiastic collaboration with community and<br />

state agencies to promote evidence-based prenatal and<br />

postpartum education and follow-up support for all<br />

mothers and infants.”<br />

In 2013, Anna Jaques began a rigorous evaluation of<br />

internal policies and procedures on the path to become<br />

a Baby Friendly-designated hospital. A multidisciplinary<br />

team of nurses, midwives, lactation consultants, obstetricians, pediatricians and community members implemented changes<br />

to foster compliance with the best practices for mothers and babies in the prenatal, delivery, and postpartum hospital stay.<br />

These include:<br />

•<br />

•<br />

•<br />

•<br />

Educating mothers prenatally on infant feeding and their hospital stay;<br />

Encouraging skin-to-skin time immediately following delivery through the first feeding for both vaginal and cesarean<br />

deliveries;<br />

Initiating breastfeeding within the first hour of birth;<br />

Encouraging rooming in (mother and baby staying together 24/7) by ensuring hospital procedures do not routinely<br />

separate mother and baby;<br />

• Discouraging pacifier use until the mother’s milk supply is well established<br />

except for medical indications;<br />

• Offering the option of human donor breast milk for babies requiring<br />

supplementation.<br />

Clinicians received updated training to fully ensure the multifaceted care plan is<br />

effectively followed throughout the entire pregnancy and hospital stay.<br />

This initiative was championed by Alison Sekelsky, MSN, RNC, Director of<br />

Maternal Child Health, and the Lactation Consultant team at Anna Jaques: Tasha<br />

Gunnarsson, RN, IBCLC; Hannah Pawlendzio, RN, IBCLC; and Judy Fayre,<br />

RN, IBCLC.<br />

Anna Jaques is also a recent recipient of the 20<strong>18</strong> Breastfeeding Achievement<br />

Award from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Anna Jaques is one<br />

of 14 birth hospitals that were recognized for implementing “Quiet Hours” within<br />

maternity units to allow mothers and newborns to rest, bond, practice skin-toskin,<br />

and support feeding on demand, and breastfeeding.<br />

“These recognitions exemplify our focus on fostering the most supportive<br />

environment possible for each family, while providing them with exceptional care<br />

and a personalized experience that honors their individual needs,” shares Alison<br />

Sekelsky, MSN, RNC, Director of Maternal Child Health.<br />

CORRECTIONS<br />

In the November 7th article "Powerlifting to Defeat<br />

Addiction" The John Ashford Link House was spelled<br />

incorrectly. This is a long time organization with Houses<br />

in Newburyport Amesbury , Salisbury.<br />

Also in the recent Town Common article about trash collection<br />

in Newburyport, there is a statement that could<br />

cause confusion. It was stated that “residents currently<br />

pay a flat rate for trash collection as part of their water/<br />

sewer bills” which is not accurate. It would be more<br />

accurately stated that Trash is paid through taxes which<br />

go to the general fund. Thank you for the overall communications<br />

that the City of Newburyport is addressing<br />

managing its future waste streams - from Solid Waste<br />

to Recycling to Composting Organic Waste - in a very<br />

thoughtful manner given the dramatic changes at a global<br />

and national level.<br />

Our apologies for these errors.

Standing alone against the great<br />

marsh, the unoccupied house<br />

has captured the imagination<br />

of generations of residents and<br />

visitors. A STPH Facebook post<br />

about the repairs last week was<br />

shared close to 300 times!<br />

For an icon with so many<br />

fans, its future, however, is at<br />

present uncertain. Joseph and<br />

the Steering Committee have<br />

worked closely with the refuge<br />

since 2015, looking for a longterm<br />

solution for the Pink<br />

House.<br />

Newbury town officials, state<br />

Sens. Kathleen O’Connor Ives,<br />

D-Newburyport, Bruce Tarr,<br />

R-Gloucester, U.S. Rep. Seth<br />

Moulton, D-Salem, and both<br />

U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren<br />

and Ed Markey’s offices have<br />

responded to requests from<br />

the ever-widening community,<br />

joining with STPH to find an<br />

appropriate owner so the house<br />

can be fully revitalized.<br />

The challenge is that the<br />

refuge is part of the U.S. Fish &<br />

Wildlife Service, which in turn<br />

is part of the U.S. Department<br />

of the Interior. The Fish &<br />

Wildlife Service normally does<br />

“The seniors are very interested,”<br />

he said.<br />

But to the staff’s surprise, a<br />

number of their customers has<br />

been parents of teenagers looking<br />

for a non-addictive product to<br />

reduce anxieties. These products<br />

are a positive alternative to many<br />

of the drugs being prescribed,<br />

Kalker said.<br />

“You could say we are the antidrug<br />

shop,” he said.<br />

The Ipswich shop has also<br />

attracted doctors, who come<br />

looking for answers for their<br />

patients. “We reach out to local<br />

doctors,” Kalker said. “But they<br />

have also reached in to us.”<br />

The staff, led by Kalker’s brother<br />

Kurt, a 25-year licensed pediatric<br />

nurse, consults with customers’<br />

physicians to make sure the<br />

hemp-derived products do not<br />

react with prescriptions.<br />

Kurt regularly attends and is<br />

often invited as an expert speaker<br />

at conferences, including one<br />

at Harvard University Medical<br />

Center and two weeks ago at<br />

an international conference in<br />

California.<br />

The Newburyport shop,<br />

Spencer said, will look much<br />

like the Ipswich shop, which<br />

The Pink House Getting Some Love<br />

not preserve houses. Yet they<br />

have kept the Pink House<br />

standing to allow the time to<br />

explore solutions. They have<br />

complied with STPH’s requests<br />

to protect the house against the<br />

elements and animals, but do<br />

not have any reason to invest in<br />

further refurbishment.<br />

And the Interior Department<br />

is facing its own reduced budget,<br />

which adds to the situation.<br />

Because the house is owned<br />

by the federal government, local<br />

volunteers cannot repaint it,<br />

Joseph said.<br />

What STPH is working<br />

toward is a new owner, who can<br />

make a total external makeover<br />

with new (pink) siding, she<br />

said.<br />

Several times a year, STPH<br />

asks the refuge for repairs to<br />

keep the house secure through<br />

winter months and particularly<br />

during the Nor’Easters that hit<br />

Plum Island hard.<br />

Joseph wrote, “As part of her<br />

(the Pink House) pre-winter<br />

upkeep we asked that the skirt<br />

running around the front threequarters<br />

of the house (most of<br />

which is actually an external,<br />

but enclosed porch) be replaced<br />

Cape Ann Botanicals Bringing<br />

Hemp Products to Newburyport<br />

resembles a high-end beauty spa,<br />

where customers can explore the<br />

products and ask questions of the<br />

staff. Customers do not have need<br />

a $250 medical marijuana card,<br />

and there is no age restriction.<br />

Questions are free, but if more<br />

consultation is needed, Kurt offers<br />

a 20-minute information session<br />

for $29.99, an hour for $99 and<br />

a three-month therapy course for<br />

$299.<br />

Spencer, who describes himself<br />

as a “serial entrepreneur,” is also<br />

building two medical marijuana<br />

dispensaries, one in Ipswich and<br />

another in Rowley.<br />

Besides seeing a business<br />

opportunity, Spencer and Kurt<br />

have personal reasons for wanting<br />

to offer people hemp products.<br />

They lost their mother and oldest<br />

brother to cancer, and Spencer<br />

watched three friends suffer and<br />

die from cancer and diabetesrelated<br />

illnesses. Spencer himself<br />

injured a nerve in his right arm,<br />

which causes numbness. And Kurt<br />

had two motorcycle accidents and<br />

13 orthopedic surgeries, which<br />

left him in pain that synthetic<br />

pain killers do not relieve.<br />

Hemp-derived products help<br />

reduce both brothers’ pain, and<br />

they believe hemp could have<br />

helped their brother, mother and<br />

or repaired and painted.”<br />

The group asked and the<br />

refugee agreed that the front<br />

porch needed maintenance.<br />

“We hope this will spruce her up<br />

a little - and that big vine that<br />

in 2017 we requested be cut at<br />

the base (to die rather than rip it<br />

off her clapboard) is dry enough<br />

to come off without doing<br />

damage,” Joseph wrote.<br />

from the cupola to the basement.<br />

Pink House remains strong.<br />

There are no leaks from the roof,<br />

“The thing that frustrates me is<br />

that so many people have suffered<br />

all these years,” Spencer said last<br />

summer.<br />

Cannabis has been around for<br />

at least 5,000 years. It fell out of<br />

favor in the U.S. because hemp<br />

competed with paper made from<br />

trees. Since 1937, until recently,<br />

such products were illegal.<br />

Hemp ropes also competed<br />

with a new synthetic product,<br />

polyester.<br />

When the federal government<br />

began to tax and ban hemp<br />

products, doctors complained<br />

that it helped patients with pain.<br />

But then aspirin was invented,<br />

Spencer said.<br />

Today, it competes with some<br />

pharmaceuticals, particularly<br />

opioids.<br />

While the Kalker brothers<br />

readily concede that much more<br />

research needs to be done on<br />

hemp, Kurt said, “What I don’t see<br />

is why any doctor would prescribe<br />

opioids, which are killing people,<br />

instead of cannabis, which has<br />

never killed anyone.”<br />

Spencer said, “This product is a<br />

miracle worker.”<br />

he became a military policeman<br />

in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri,<br />

and later in Landing Zone<br />

ROWLEY - 2nd Annual Friends of the Rowley Library Cookie Walk to be held Saturday December 8th, 2-4 PM, at the Rowley<br />

Public Library, 141 Main St. Rowley MA With Holiday Music performed Live by Pianist/vocalist Nancy Day. Cookie Bakers<br />

Needed! Sign up today (via email) for the 2nd annual Friends of the Library Cookie Walk that will be held on Saturday, Dec. 8th.<br />

All varieties and types of cookies are needed: sugar cookies, decorated cookies, etc - or bake your family favorite. Many cookies are<br />

needed to make the walk successful. Email Olivia MacDonald with any questions, olivialeonemacdonald@gmail.com. What is a<br />

Cookie Walk? While many have experienced a Christmas Cookie Walk, others may not be sure what it is and how it works. This<br />

is a fundraiser where we sell homemade cookies by the tin. We ask that our members and friends bake and donate batches of one<br />

of their favorite Christmas cookie (about 3 dozen) to donate for the walk. The day of the cookie walk, we line tables up with large<br />

platters of the donated cookies. Buyers choose a decorative tin and walk around the tables to choose the cookies they would like to<br />

purchase. This is a great way to get a huge variety of holiday cookies without baking so many different kinds! All proceeds from the<br />

sale are donated to fund programming at the Rowley Public Library! This event is only successful because of all our bakers (you!) who<br />

spend the time to bake the cookies!!<br />

ROWLEY - Rowley Book Club to meet Thursday December 6 at 6:30 p.m. Join the<br />

Rowley Library Book Club for a discussion of The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a<br />

Memoir by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich, a different kind of murder mystery. The<br />

author believes she is anti-death penalty- until she starts her summer job at a law firm,<br />

and starts to work on the case of Ricky Langley. As she delves into the complicated<br />

truth of his story, she is forced to deal with her own family history, and the reality of<br />

a legal system more colored by our own pasts than we’d like to believe. Pick up a copy<br />

of the current book at the library, then join us on the first Thursday of each month at<br />

I met Kathryn when I was doing fire safety inspections as a fire<br />

inspector for a local fire department. I told my wife if we were to ever<br />

sell our home, I knew who the realtor would be. Well, the time came<br />

that we decided to sell our house and picking a realtor was not an<br />

issue, we called Kathryn. She was easy to work with and brought<br />

a wealth of experience to the table. She knew who needed to be<br />

contacted and involved and kept us updated through emails and<br />

phone calls. At the time of the closing she made a very stressful and<br />

emotional event much easier to go through. We will definitely be<br />

recommending Kathryn to our family and friends.<br />

Darrell and Donna Moore<br />

like this when you sell your home?<br />

ARIES (March <strong>21</strong> to April 19) Although your energy level<br />

is high, be careful not to commit to too many projects at this<br />

time. You’ll do better focusing on just a few tasks rather than<br />

spreading yourself too thin.<br />

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your heart might be leading<br />

you in one direction, but pay attention to your keen Bovine<br />

intellect. I’m cautioning you to think things through before<br />

making any commitments.<br />

(c) 20<strong>18</strong> King Features Syndicate, Inc. GEMINI (May <strong>21</strong> to June 20) Your “serious” Twin has been<br />

dominant in your life for quite a while. It’s time now to let that<br />

“wilder” half take you out for some good times -- perhaps with someone very special.<br />

CANCER (June <strong>21</strong> to July 22) Career aspects are high for Moon Children who make a good impression.<br />

Show people not only what you can already do, but also how you can be more valuable to them in the<br />

future.<br />

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Things start to brighten for the Lion’s<br />

immediate financial future. But be careful to resist the urge to splurge.<br />

You need to tuck something away to help you through another tight<br />

period.<br />

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Having to do too many tasks<br />

in too short a time could lower your mood to just above the grumbling<br />

level. But if you handle things one at a time, you’ll get through it all<br />

soon enough.<br />

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your usually carefully made<br />

holiday plans could be subject to change later this month. Use this<br />

week to prepare for that possibility by starting a Plan B just in case<br />

you need it.<br />

SCORPIO (October 23 to November <strong>21</strong>) Be careful about joining<br />

a colleague’s plan to solve a workplace problem. Investigate it<br />

thoroughly. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a predicament with<br />

other associates.<br />

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December <strong>21</strong>) Slow down that<br />

high-paced whirl you’ve been on. Spending quiet time alone or with<br />

people you care for can be both physically and spiritually restorative.<br />

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Make suggestions, not<br />

demands. You’ll be more successful in getting people to follow your<br />

lead if you exercise quiet patience instead of strong persuasion to get<br />

your ideas across.<br />

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February <strong>18</strong>) You still need more facts<br />

before you can make an informed career choice. One note of caution:<br />

Be careful about whom you ask for that information; otherwise, you<br />

could be misled.<br />

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Changing situations through<br />

the end of the week could lead to some challenging opportunities for<br />

those perspicacious Pisceans who know how to make them work to<br />

their advantage.<br />

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of being both daring and<br />

cautious, traits that could make you a research scientist or maybe even<br />

a rocket-ship designer.<br />

Health & Wellness<br />

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD<br />

Xylitol is a sugar substitute<br />

that possesses 40 percent fewer<br />

calories than sugar and has been<br />

shown to help decrease cavities<br />

in teeth, among other things.<br />

However, it is important to<br />

know that xylitol, even in small<br />

quantities, is very toxic to dogs.<br />

The dental benefits of<br />

xylitol have been known since<br />

the 1970’s. Xylitol is not<br />

metabolized by the decaycausing<br />

bacteria Streptococcus<br />

mutans (S. mutans), making<br />

it nonacidogenic and thus<br />

noncariogenic (not decay<br />

causing). Studies have also<br />

indicated xylitol decreases the<br />

levels of S. mutans in both<br />

plaque and saliva. As a result,<br />

patients who use xylitol have<br />

demonstrated a reduction in<br />

decay.<br />

Xylitol is slowly absorbed by<br />

the human intestines; as a result,<br />

it has minimal side effects on<br />

humans. Some may experience<br />

minor side effects, mainly<br />

stomach upset, although this<br />

generally occurs after ingesting<br />

large amounts of xylitol (four<br />

to five times the recommended<br />

How many of us stick our old<br />

cellphones in a drawer when we<br />

buy a new one? Too many of us,<br />

more than 50 percent, according<br />

to a recent survey. Some of<br />

us have just thrown away old<br />

phones.<br />

If you’re in the market for a new<br />

phone and plan to buy it from<br />

the same company, chances are<br />

you can get money back or store<br />

credit toward the new phone.<br />

If you plan to buy from a<br />

different company and can’t<br />

amount for cavity prevention).<br />

There are studies that the body<br />

can adapt to higher dosages of<br />

xylitol and that symptoms can<br />

subside as the body’s tolerance<br />

increases.<br />

While the dental community<br />

embraces xylitol for its cavity<br />

prevention, many people,<br />

including dental professionals,<br />

are unaware of its toxic potential<br />

– not to humans, but to dogs.<br />

While xylitol has little effect on<br />

insulin production in humans,<br />

dogs can experience a rapid<br />

and severe increase in insulin<br />

production after just a small<br />

amount of xylitol ingestion.<br />

A dog that ingests a xylitol<br />

equivalent of three to four pieces<br />

of gum is at risk for hepatic<br />

(liver) failure and necrosis (tissue<br />

death).<br />

Dogs tend to be scavengers by<br />

nature and their likelihood of<br />

encountering potentially toxic<br />

substances in and around the<br />

house is common. The ASPCA<br />

web site lists a multitude of<br />

substances, many of which<br />

are harmless to humans but<br />

potentially dangerous to dogs.<br />

Chocolate, grapes, raisins,<br />

avocado, onion, and citrus<br />

fruits make the list. However,<br />

xylitol is unique in that it is<br />

contained within foods; as a<br />

result, consumers may not even<br />

be aware that a product or food<br />

item contains xylitol.<br />

trade it in for a new phone, there<br />

are still ways to recoup some<br />

dollars from your old phone.<br />

For example, you can sell your<br />

phone on eBay. The minute new<br />

phones come out, those eager to<br />

save money know to look for a<br />

recent previous generation of<br />

phone. EBay has made it easy<br />

for you with a selling kit. They’ll<br />

even send you the box to put it<br />

in for mailing.<br />

Check online prices offered on<br />

places like Gazelle, Swappa or<br />

Glyde. Read the details carefully.<br />

Craiglist will allow you to sell<br />

your phone in-person in your<br />

area. (Don’t fall for scammers<br />

who want you to mail them the<br />

phone in exchange for a check.)<br />

Toxic for Dogs<br />

For dogs suspected of ingesting<br />

xylitol, early intervention is<br />

paramount. Prompt medical<br />

treatment for uncomplicated<br />

xylitol-related hypoglycemia can<br />

yield a good prognosis. Once<br />

Xylitol has affected the liver, it<br />

yields a much graver prognosis.<br />

While veterinarians have been<br />

aware of the potential danger of<br />

The Town<br />

isn’t acciDENTAL<br />

With continually emerging evidence that a<br />

xylitol to dogs for several years,<br />
