REGIONAL – While the 

craft beer industry around 

the country shows signs of 

slowing its meteoric growth, 

small, independent breweries 

on the North Shore are 

creating new beers at a rapid 

rate, winning awards and 

expanding their tap rooms as 

destinations for beer lovers. 

Newburyport Brewery 

Company’s expansion plans 

were approved by the city’s 

Zoning Board of Appeals 

to move from New Pasture 

Road in the Newburyport 

Industrial Park to the old 

farm on the corner of Graf 

and Parker roads near the

The planning board has 

set a public hearing is set for 

March. 

The new brewery, if 

approved, would feature 

a 175-seat tap room/ 

restaurant, plus another 100 

seats for outdoor events. 

It will be a stone throw

events room. 

Across the Merrimack 

River, Amesbury-based 

BareWolf Brewing, which 

was named the top new beer 

in Massachusetts, has almost 

doubled the size of its tap 

room to accommodate the 

crowds that come to sample 

its latest beers. 

Craft beer, according to 

the definition of The Brewers 

Association, are breweries 

that are small, independent 

and traditional. 

The popularity of these new 

beers has surprised many.

Mother of the American Valentine 

REGIONAL – When you give 

your darling a Valentine’s Day 

card this week, say thank you to 

Esther Howland, a Worcester 

businesswoman, who popularized 

the romantic cards in America. 

Howland, who lived from 

1828 to 1904, did not invent the 

Valentine’s Day card, but helped 

popularize the often hand-made 

cards in the U.S by creating a 

system for mass producing the 

cards using an assembly line 

process that pre-dates Henry Ford 

by a half century. 

The Langley-Adams Library in 

Groveland is presenting a program 

on Howland at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 11 

at the library. Library assistant 

Lauren Towler tells great stories 

from her research. 

The origins of Valentine’s Day 

trace back to a Roman holiday

Proposed Newburyport Brewing Co. home 

when a holiday was celebrated 

on February 14 to honor Juno, 

the Goddess of Women and 

Marriage. 

The day also honors a thirdcentury 

priest, St. Valentine, who 

defied Roman Emperor Claudius 

II when he banned marriage. The 

emperor thought men’s love of 

wives and families was keeping 

them from joining his army. The 

emperor put the priest to death on 

Feb. 14. 

Before the American Civil War, 

Valentine’s Day cards were much 

more popular in England where 

it is estimated that about half the 

population spent money on cards, 

chocolates and gifts for their 

Valentines. Although postage was 

expensive, British romantics in

Tap Rooms Expanding for More Craft Beer Lovers 

Continued from page 1 

League baseball stadiums, 

craft beer has taken over 

taps across the country. In 

recent years, craft beer sales 

have grown 15 percent per 

year with export sales rising 

rapidly as well. 

The craft beer sector with 

more than 2,300 breweries 

makes up about 10 percent 

of the nation’s total beer 

sales. 

“It’s never been a better 

time to be a beer drinker 

than right now,” said Brewers 

Association Director Paul 

Gatza. 

Here on the North Shore, 

Riverwalk Brewing expanded 

two years ago into an old 

warehouse at 40 Parker Rd. 

That allowed it to increase 

in size and production by 

10-fold from its previous 

location on Graf Road in 

the industrial park. Where 

it was maxed out at 2,000 

barrels per year in the old 

location, its new facility can 

produce 15,000 barrels a 

year. 

BareWolf, which opened 

its tap room on Morrill Road 

Continued from page 1 

Valentine cards through the 

mail. 

In 1847, when Howland was 

19, she received an English 

Valentine, which inspired the 

young artist and daughter of 

a stationery business owner to 

design her own. She imported 

paper lace from England and 

began creating cards in a 

third-floor bedroom of her 

family home. 

Her brother, a salesman for 

the stationery business, took 

a dozen samples with him on 

a trip to show his customers. 

Expecting to sell only a few 

cards, his sister was shocked 

when he returned with orders 

for more than $5,000 in 

cards. 

Valentine’s Day cards grew 

in popularity after the Civil 

War because some speculate 

that the turmoil of the war 

was so great that people 

craved the sentimentality of 

the cards. 

As her business grew, 

Howland recruited friends 

who were looking for work. 

At the time, Worcester was 

a hotbed of the women’s 

suffrage movement. In 1850, 

it would host the first national 

convention advocating voting 

in the CI Works facility a 

year ago, was expecting to 

sell at least 75 percent of its 

beers to retail stores, bars 

and restaurant. Located 

on a side street, BareWolf 

did not expect a huge tap 

room clientele. But during 

Thursday through Sunday 

evenings, the taproom, 

which its owners call “funky,” 

attracts a crowd to try the 

latest beer, shoot pool and 

play games. 

Paul Bareford, part of the 

father-son team that started 

BareWolf, said more than 

50 percent of the brewery’s 

revenues come from the tap 

room. “It sure surprised us,” 

he said. 

He attributes the early 

success to the quality of the 

beer. “I don’t think anybody 

makes a better beer than us,” 

the senior Bareford said. 

RateBeer agrees. In its 

annual ranking of beers by 

state, the website rated Sam 

Adams Utopias as the best 

beer, Trillium Breweries 

as the best brewer and 

BareWolf as the best new 

beer in the state. 

Mother of the American Valentine 

rights for women. 

Howland devised a 

production system for the 

women that created the cards 

she designed using an assembly 

line technique. It seems to 

have worked much better 

with 19th century women 

than modern children. 

According to one story 

Towler, who oversees youth 

programs at the library, will 

tell in her presentation, she 

tried to get a class of eightyear-olds 

at the library to 

make cards on an assembly 

line basis. But she found that 

the children did not like the 

assembly line, preferring to 

draw and make individual 

cards. 

As her Valentine’s Day cards 

grew more famous around 

the country, Howland was 

often referred to as “The 

Mother of the American 

Valentine.” But don’t blame 

her for the ubiquitous red 

color on cards and candy. 

Most of Howland’s designs 

were not red, but were 

of many different colors 

and included drawings of 

cherubs, Bavarian musicians, 

windmills, deer and other 

forest animals. Her designs 

used lace over colorful and 

In early March, the 

city planning board will 

hold a public hearing on 

Newburyport Brewing’s 

plans to create a tap room/ 

restaurant at 79 Parker Rd., 

one of the last farm sites 

in the industrial park. The 

ornate designs. The message 

of love or friendship was 

often typed in the center. 

Her business outgrew the 

family home and in 1879, 

she brought Edward Taft into 

the business and named it 

the New England Valentine 

Co. It became the largest 

greeting card company in the 

world, grossing more than 

$100,000 a year, according 

to the Worcester Historical 

Museum. 

At age 53 she sold 

her business to George 

Whitney, who owned 

another Worcester stationery 

company. Whitney, who 

bought up several other 

greeting card companies, is 

often credited with making 

the Valentine’s Day card an 

institution. 

But since 2001, the 

Greeting Card Association 

has been giving an annual 

“Esther Howland Award for 

a Greeting Card Visionary.” 

For nearly 100 years, 

Worcester was the center of 

the commercial Valentine 

industry in the U.S. The city’s 

logo, reflecting that heritage, 

includes a heart and carries 

a nickname of “The Heart of 

the Commonwealth.”

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) With both your creative 

side and your energy levels rising this week, you should be able to tackle that too-long-neglected 

project again. A family member might have important news. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An explanation you requested seems to be more confusing 

than enlightening. You should insist on clarifications now, rather than deal with problems that 

might arise later. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your energy levels might be ebbing a bit. But that’s no excuse for 

taking catnaps when you could be working on those unfinished tasks. There’ll be time to curl 

up and relax by week’s end. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s a good time to get those ideas out of your head and 

into a readable format if you hope to have them turned into something doable. A good friend 

is ready with worthwhile advice. 

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Careful -- you might be stepping into dangerous 

territory if you decide to “exaggerate” the facts too much. Remember: The truth speaks for 

itself and needs no embellishment. 

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Although your workplace successes have earned 

you many admirers, there are some colleagues who are not among them. Be careful how you 

proceed with your new project. 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might have to go into great detail to 

explain why you’re currently reluctant to make changes to an already prepared plan. Be sure 

you have all the facts to back yourself up. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Travel plans might still be uncertain. But 

instead of getting upset about the delay, open yourself up to other possibilities, and begin 

checking out some alternative destinations. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Changing conditions might require you to alter 

some of your plans. While you might be agreeable to this, be prepared with explanations for 

those who do not want changes made. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Although you might have to deal with some detractors 

The 

who aren’t too 

Town 

kind in their critiques, 

Common 

you gain points when you’re willing to stand up and 

defend your work. 

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for creating a warm and loving environment between 

yourself and others.

Health & Wellness 

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD 

There are many people who 

suffer with pain involving some 

area of the head. Toothaches can 

cause pain, but these are mostly 

avoidable with proper diet, home 

care and regular visits to your 

dentist. Teeth can also play an 

indirect role in facial/head pain. 

Orofacial pain includes a number 

of clinical problems involving the 

chewing (masticatory) muscles 

and/or temporomandibular joints 

(TMJs). Problems can include 

TMJ discomfort involving muscle 

spasms in the head, neck, shoulders 

and/or jaw, migraines or other 

types of tension headaches, pain 

with the teeth, face or jaw; and can 

even play a role in anxiety and/or 

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 

Want to boost your mental acuity? 

Get moving and eat your vegetables. 

Here’s yet another study that says 

we can increase our mental sharpness 

by walking or riding a stationary bike 

three times a week for six months 

and going on the DASH (Dietary 

Approaches to Stop Hypertension) 

diet. This Duke University study 

has an interesting result, however: 

It concluded that we can shave nine 

years off our brain age. 

The study looked at seniors who 

had mild cognitive impairment 

Brighter Smiles... 

LIPS TOGETHER – TEETH APART 

(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 face 

controlling the joint’s movements. 

Women between the ages of 20 

and 40 are often more frequent 

sufferers because of the added 

estrogen in their bodies. 

One in eight Americans suffers 

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. Keep in mind 

that in a 24-hour period of time, 

your teeth should only touch 10 

minutes total. If you clench or 

grind your teeth, your teeth are 

touching much more than that and 

I can promise you that something 

in the masticatory system is being 

affected. 

Sleep disorders can also play a 

role. I am not just talking about 

sleep apnea. There are a wide range 

of sleep disorders and some of them 

will cause people to clench and/ 

or grind as a defense mechanism 

of the body to achieve proper air 

Senior Scene 

Take 9 Years Off Your Brain Age 

and assigned them one of four 

combinations of activities: the 

walking/bike exercise, a DASH diet 

or both. A fourth choice was health 

education alone. The first three 

months were spent doing exercise 

under the supervision of the research 

facility. Later the participants were 

released to exercise on their own. 

Specifically, the seniors were asked 

to ride a stationary bike or walk for 35 

minutes three times a week following 

a 10-minute warm up. The DASH 

diet, for those who were assigned, 

promotes healthy grains, low sodium, 

reduced dairy and meat -- the standard 

healthy diet for those with high 

blood pressure. (See MayoClinic.org 

for more information.) There was no 

push to intensify the rate of exercise 

(participants were told to aim for 70 

flow. 

Dentists have a variety of ways 

to help relieve orofacial symptoms. 

One way to treat these problems 

is called an orthotic, or splint, 

that is worn over the teeth to help 

stabilize the bite; kind of like an 

orthotic some wear in their shoes 

for alignment and balance when 

standing. Permanent correction may 

require equilibration (reshaping 

teeth), prosthetic dentistry and/ or 

orthodontics. Many use a splint on 

a daily basis to avoid having these 

other treatments done. 

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. 

Most important lesson of the 

day: The optimal rest position of 

the jaw (minus the 10 minutes 

the teeth touch in 24 hours) is 

lips together, teeth slightly apart, 

the tip of the tongue resting just 

behind your upper front teeth, and 

you should be breathing through 

your nose. 

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private 

dental practice in Rowley and 

Newburyport dedicated to healthcentered 

family dentistry. If there 

are certain topics you would like to 

see written about or questions you

percent maximum heart rate), but 

the exercise intensified over time as 

participants became more fit. 

The results: Those with the best 

improvements had been assigned the 

walking/bike exercise as well as the 

DASH diet. They benefited by being 

more organized, achieving goals 

and regulating behavior. Even those 

who only exercised saw significant 

improvement. Researchers believe 

this was because of increased oxygen 

to the brain. 

If you want to go on the same 

program, talk to your doctor and get 

advice, especially about the intensity 

rate of exercise. If you’re concerned 

about your balance on a stationary 

bike, ask about the benefits of a 

rowing machine instead.
