Cape Ann Cannabis
to open
By Stewart Lytle, Reporter
REGIONAL – The adult recreational
marijuana shop, Cape Ann Cannabis, may
finally open on Rte. 1 in Rowley by the end
of this week.
“It’s an arduous process even for an experienced
businessman,” said Spencer Kalker,
President and CEO of Old Planters of
Cape Ann.
His neighbors in the small shopping center
next to Yankee Lumber Co. have been
“excited for us to open.” he said. Several
Rowley residents have knocked on the
door, asking when the shop will be open.
Recreational marijuana shops were allowed
to open for in-store sales on June 8
as part of Gov. Charlie Baker’s phase two
reopening plan.
Last week, the Cannabis Control Commission
(CCC) conducted a final inspection
of the shop at 300 Newburyport
Turnpike, without stepping foot in the
shop. Kalker and his team walked around
the shop with a computer showing the inspectors
remotely everything they wanted
to see from the check-in lobby to the store
to the vault.
“Everything worked, even the POS system,”
Kalker said. “They were very thorough.”
He praised the CCC inspectors for
being “diligent and responsive” as well as
thorough. “You can’t ask more than that.”
When the shop opens, customers can select
from 125 different products, including
flowers and concentrates, edibles, infused
oils and balms and vapes. The Rowley shop
can sell some products, including edibles
and vapes, that Kalker cannot sell in his
CBD shops in Newburyport and Ipswich,
which he said, “does not make a lot of
sense.”
But he is excited about the range of

products offered in the new store, which
come from seven Massachusetts suppliers.
“When you look at the number of different
products, it’s mind-boggling,” Kalker said.
The jars and packages of the products are
lined up in sleek cabinets on the walls that
are open for the customer to see. The staff
of 15 employees, who have gone through
24 hours of training in recent weeks, can
answer questions in person or remotely.
Kalker’s brother, Kurt, a registered nurse
and member of the American Cannabis
Nurses Association, is answering questions
and doing consultations remotely from
Cape Ann Botanicals, a CBD shop in Ipswich.
“Our mission in all our shops is to educate
the consumer,” Spencer said. Kurt
Kalker last week conducted a remote education
session for the Ipswich Council on
Aging.
The shop’s website states: “We take the
guesswork out of buying by organizing our
store in easy to follow categories. If you’re a
first-time buyer, we have you covered.”

Rowley rallies
against racism
ROWLEY – The protests from around
the world in the wake of the death of
George Floyd came here last week to the
peaceful bandstand on the Town Common
in the heart of this community.
Organized by several local residents, the
rally on Sunday, June 8, was attended by
about 200 residents and several Rowley police
officers, including Chief Scott Dumas.
They came to voice their outrage at the way
Floyd and other African Americans have
been treated in recent years.
Similar rallies have been held in Amesbury,
Ipswich and Newburyport since
Floyd’s death on May 25.
One organizer said the group hoped the
unity rally would bring Rowley community
together as they took a stand against
racism. “You can’t expect someone else to
do something. You have to do it yourself,”
said the organizer.
The protestors carried signs that read:
“Black Lives Matter” and “White Silence
/ Violence.” One sign said there is “No
ai158697368829_Healthcare_Heros_Front_Page_Ad_Final.pdf 1 4/15/2020 2:01:28 PM
Thank you for your strong
support for AJH Healthcare Heroes
FREE
Room For Hate.” Another offered a sentiment
for both the protests and the pandemic:
“Together We Will See it Through.”
Other signs were more philosophical:
“There Comes a Time when Silence is Betrayal”
and “We the People Have 500 Years
of Experience to Address.
The Unity Rally was approved by the
Board of Selectmen as a non-partisan
event. Those who came to stand on the
green grass beside the white bandstand
mostly wore masks, clapped and cheered
as speakers called for unity and support for
African Americans in Rowley and across
the country.
They also knelt in silence for eight minutes
and 42 seconds, the time it took for
Floyd to lose his life. As the protestors knelt
or bowed their heads, cars and trucks along
Rte. 1A and side streets broke the silence,
honking as they passed the green. Many
gave the crowd a thumbs up as they drove
passed.
When the period of silence was over, one

Cape Ann Cannabis
to open
Cape Ann, from page 1
Opening a new shop during
the Covid-19 virus closure has
presented even more challenges
than other adult recreational marijuana
stores on the North Shore
have faced. As all shops are doing
now, customers must wear masks
to enter. They can pre-order and
pre-pay and have their products
delivered to their car in designated
parking spaces in front. If the
customer wants to pay cash, they
must come inside the secure area.
Security, as required of all recreational
marijuana shops, is intense.
In addition to checking customers’
driver’s license in the lobby, there
are 27 cameras in the shop, recording
activity from every angle,

including one that takes a 360-degree
view of activity in the shop.
Cameras at Pure Oasis, the first
recreational marijuana dispensary
in Boston and the first Blackowned
pot shop in Massachusetts,
recorded more than a dozen people
looting the Dorchester shop
recently. Hitting the shop at 1:43
a.m., the thieves stole 2,000 prerolled
joints and 2,000 containers
of flower worth more than
$100,000.
The adult-use industry has generated
$120 million in revenue
and grown to more than 8,000
jobs since sales began in 2018, according
to CDA, which represents
80% of the state’s medical and recreational
marijuana industry.

Rowley rallies against racism
Rally, from page 1
of the organizers said, “It’s an incredibly
long time to have someone’s
knee on your throat snuffing
the life out of you.”
Police Chief Scott Dumas told
the supportive crowd that he is
proud to be a police officer. “I do
not believe there is a more noble
profession, but I understand that
there is still critical work to be
done to ensure that law enforcement
officers are held to the highest
standard. The tactics used by
these police officers in Minneapolis
have no legitimate place in the
policing profession.
“Police officers do not like being
painted with a broad brush,
but we understand why it happens
when situations like these occur.
The vast majority of law enforcement
officers who wear that badge
honor that badge, which means
they honor the people they serve
and hold themselves to the highest
standards.”
Dumas praised those who came
to the rally. “Movements do not
start from the top. They start with
the people,” he said. “Our country
has been divided for far too long.
It is time for this country to come
together.”
He called the actions of the
Minneapolis police officers “sickening
to watch” and added, “It
has caused pain and anguish for so
many, including myself and good
police officers throughout our department
and our nation who report
for duty each day only seeking
to serve our citizens.”
Rowley Police officers’ continuous
training reflects our values
and places an enormous emphasis
on de-escalating conflict and ceasing
the use of force, if force is required,
when the situation is controlled,
Dumas said in a prepared
statement. “This was a disgraceful
event. We are hopeful meaningful,
give-and-take dialogue, with actionable
goals is a path forward,”
the statement read.
The Massachusetts Chiefs of
Police Association, representing
Police Chiefs in all 351 cities and
towns and most college campuses,
has also denounced the “egregious
actions” taken by four members
of the Minneapolis Police Department
that resulted in the death of
George Floyd. Massachusetts Police
Officers have thoroughly embraced
the six pillars of the principles
embodied in the final report
of the President’s Task Force on
21st Century Policing, and remain
committed to professional
conduct, democratic policing and
procedural justice for all people.
Another of the organizers
summed up the mission of the rally:
“Let’s not let George Floyd die
in vain.”
By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD
One of the most common things
dentists deal with is broken and/or sensitive
teeth. Teeth can break or be sensitive
for many reasons. While catching
a popcorn kernel the wrong may cause
a tooth problem, more often than not
there are other factors at play.
Are you stressed out? It seems that
stress levels in people are on the rise.
We worry about school, work, finances,
illness, children, relationships, and
more. Some even worry about how
much they worry. Not to add to your
stress, but you should be aware that all
that worrying could have a negative
impact on not only your general health
but also your oral health.
According to an article published in
the Journal of Periodontology, there
is a strong relationship between stress
and periodontal disease (gum disease).
In addition to stress, other psychological
factors, such as anxiety, depression,
and loneliness, are linked to an
increased likelihood of periodontal
disease.
So how does stressing out about your
next car payment, for example, lead to
Brighter smiles ...
Stress and Your Teeth
gum disease? Researchers believe that
the hormone cortisol may be a factor.
Cortisol , also known as the “stress
hormone,” is secreted by the adrenal
glands and involved in many functions,
including proper glucose metabolism,
blood pressure regulation, insulin release
for blood sugar maintenance,
immune function, and inflammatory
response. An earlier study published in
the same journal the year before found
that increased levels of cortisol can lead
to more destruction of the gums and
bone due to periodontal diseases.
Behavioral factors may come into
play. People who are under extreme
amounts of stress or suffering from
depression may be more likely to disregard
good oral hygiene. They may
even take on new behaviors that could
negatively impact their oral health,
such as the use of nicotine, alcohol, or
drugs, all of which can affect the teeth
and gums.
Your gums are not the only oral victims
of stress. Another oral side effect
is teeth grinding or clenching, which
often occurs during sleep. This may
lead to headaches, earaches, or toothaches.
Facial muscles can become
sore and jaw joints tender. Besides
causing discomfort, grinding and/
or clenching can lead to severe tooth
wear, loosening of teeth, and cracked
or fractured teeth. Ruling out a sleep
breathing disorder should always be
done when clenching or grinding is
observed as well.
It is important to find healthy
things that help relieve stress. A regular
exercise routine can do wonders
for relieving stress, as well as having a
balanced nutritious diet and getting
enough sleep. If you find it difficult to
manage your stress you should discuss
this with your physician.
Cornelius Celsus's DeMedicina, a Roman
author and medical historian, wrote
the following about 2000 years ago:
Live in rooms full of light.
Avoid Heavy food.
Be moderate in the drinking of
wine.
Take massage, baths, exercise and
gymnastics.
Fight insomnia with gentle rocking
or the sound of running water.
Change surroundings and take long
journeys.
Strictly avoid frightening ideas.
Indulge in cheerful conversation
and amusements.
Listen to music.
Still good advice 2000 years later.

Governor Sununu’s Stay At Home 2.0 order shifts to Safer
At Home June 15, 2020. The State of Emergency will
still stay in place and will likely have to continue on indefinitely.
INDOOR DINING GUIDANCE FROM HEALTH
DEPARTMENT - The Governor’s Stay-at-Home 2.0 offers
updated guidance to restaurants for opening up indoor dining
operations beginning June 15, 2020. The new guidance
document applies to the indoor dining in Rockingham
County, at a reduced occupancy. The Health Department
notes, “Please be aware there may be an increased risk of exposure
to Covid-19 associated with public dining for your
staff and your customers. Strict adherence to the Guidelines
should help reduce this risk but may not eliminate it.” Table

operation covers both public and private hydrants in
Portsmouth, New Castle, Rye, Greenland and Newington.
Crews open select fire hydrants, releasing water with
enough velocity to carry sediment out of the pipes. While
flushing can result in discolorations to tap water, customers
can use cold water to flush their lines and the water remains
safe to drink. If the discoloration persists, customers should
contact the Water Division though the Click 'n Fix system
to ensure prompt response.

Ipswich Community Walks, Bikes, and
Paddles for Clean Water
The necessity to remain socially distant has meant that
many usual spring activities and events have been cancelled,
particularly anything indoors. More people are getting outside,
enjoying the wealth of recreation spaces we are lucky to
have on the North Shore. To show their appreciation of these
beautiful places, and particularly for the scenic Ipswich River,
community members are challenging themselves to have fun
outside while raising awareness and funds for clean water.
As part of the Ipswich River Watershed Association’s(IRWA)
annual Paddle-a-thon event (ipswichriver.org/paddle-a-thon),
people are signing up to walk, paddle, bike, and more to spread
awareness of the river and the challenges it faces. The Ipswich
River provides the drinking water for 14 local communities,
including Beverly and Salem. Each year, since 2016, the event
raises funds from a combination of corporate sponsorship and
individual donors to support IRWA’s Clean Water Program,
including RiverWatch, a volunteer water quality monitoring
program. This year, the event will not include the usual party
at the Topsfield Fairgrounds, but the registrants (called Paddle
Raisers) are undeterred, with more signing up every day.
Paddle-a-thon 2020 has brought out amazing creativity
and enthusiasm from the Ipswich River’s many supporters.
Co-chairs of the event’s volunteer committee Amy
MacNulty of Lynnfield and Sally Heiter of Topsfield are
walking for the river, passing through each of the towns the
river moves through, beginning with the source in Burlington
and moving northeast towards the estuary in Ipswich.
Some participants, like Joel Hariton and Dan Heiter of
Topsfield, are raising funds for clean water while also bringing
awareness to the river’s other challenges, such as the
plight of river herring whose once plentiful numbers have
been negatively impacted by barriers in the river.To learn
more about Paddle-a-thon and how you can support the
good work of keeping the river flowing with clean, plentiful,
swimmable water, please visit ipswichriver.org/paddlea-thon.
The event runs until June 20th and registration is
still open if you would like to join the effort. If you want
to show your support by making a donation on behalf of

Georgetown, Groveland and West
Newbury Fire Departments Postpone
Firefighter Memorial Event
Georgetown Fire Chief Fred Mitchell, Groveland Fire
Chief Robert Valentine and West Newbury Fire Chief Michael
Dwyer announce that this year’s Firefighter Memorial
Sunday event will be postponed until further notice.
Each year, the event is held on the second Sunday in June
to honor firefighters who have dedicated their lives to serving
their communities as well as those who have lost their
lives in the line of duty.
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ceremony
will be postponed until further notice to ensure the
health and safety of all who may attend.
“State and local health officials continue to urge strict social
distancing efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19,
and as a result, we decided to postpone this event until it’s
safe for us to all be together,” said Chief Mitchell. “We look
forward to hosting this event later this year and honoring
the men and women who have dedicated their lives and
sacrificed to keep residents safe.”
"Each year, we look forward to joining our neighboring
departments in order to recognize and remember firefighters
who have risen above and beyond to serve their communities,"
said Chief Valentine. "I take great pride in the work
each of our departments have done separately and together,
and look forward to honoring all of those who have chosen
a career in the fire service later this year."
"This decision was not made lightly and we felt it
would be best to wait to hold this year's memorial event
until the situation surrounding COVID-19 is further resolved,"
said Chief Dwyer. "The pandemic has helped to
highlight the important role firefighters play in our community,
and we look forward to honoring all who have
shown great dedication and commitment to the safety
of our residents at the memorial service when the time
is right."
Those who will be honored this year include retired West
Newbury Fire Lt. Stephen Cutter, who also served as the
assistant chief for the Sanford Fire Department in Sanford,
Maine and chief of the Newburyport Fire Department; retired
West Newbury Assistant Chief Glenn Coffin; retired
West Newbury Firefighter William Harnois and retired
Georgetown Fire Chief Harold Roeder.
The three departments take turns hosting the service
and a memorial breakfast, and this year's event will be
held at the Georgetown Fire Station, 47 Central St. A
new date for the ceremony later this year has not yet
been decided, but will be announced once it's been determined.
Let’s Get That House!
By John McCarthy, Rowley Realty
Even in these crazy times with
the country starting to open up,
multiple offers are still coming
in on a large number of properties.
Many buyers are becoming
more and more frustrated as they
repeatedly fail to get the house
they want. One buyer told me
that they have made offers on 7
different homes only to be outbid
on all of them AND they offered
over the asking price on 5 of them.
They have asked themselves what
they could have done differently
to get the home they wanted.
While there is not a perfect solution
for how to win a bidding war,
there are some things you can do
to make your offer look better to a
seller. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Be Realistic
If you want the house and there
are many other offers in all likelihood
many are going to be over
the asking price. The number
of offers will tell you how much
interest there is. Others who put
offers in over the asking price are
valuing the home at more than
what it is listed at. Are you? If you
don’t think it is even worth the
amount the seller is asking why
are you making an offer? Your RE-
ALTOR® can help you by showing
you comparable sales. Make an offer
that is comfortable for you. If
you think the home is worth 10k
more than the asking price than
offer that. If you find out that the
house sold for $1000 more than
the asking price and you offered
only what the seller was asking
you are going to be upset, correct?
One thing a former REALTOR®
told me, the buyer isn’t overpaying,
they are simply catching the
house as its value goes up.
2. Letter to the seller
Every once in a while a seller
will say and act on the idea that
“Money isn’t everything, it is
more important to us who gets
our house” (Yes, this actually does
occur). Therefore a letter from the
buyer to the seller can be a big
help in helping your offer stand
out. These personalized letters,
can help depending on who receives
them and how they are written.
The point of the letter to the
seller is to show the buyers as human
beings, not just names, dates
and numbers on a contract. The
best letters point out commonalities.
For example the buyers may
love to go camping. By pointing
out their mutual love of camping
they can connect with a seller in a
meaningful way. People like doing
business with other people that are
just like them so it’s important to
build that rapport with the seller.
Another important thing to do is
to talk about just how amazing
their home is. Never ever try to
negotiate in a letter to the seller.
The main point in the letter is
to make the you come alive and
tell the seller how beautiful their
home is and what a great a fit it
is for you.
3. Appraisal Difference
It’s rare but as strange as this
might sound, just because you
offer $50,000 over the asking
price, doesn’t mean that your offer
will get accepted. Some sellers
will be concerned that the bank
or mortgage company won’t find
comparable sales to justify a price
$50,000 over asking. To make
sure that your offer does get accepted
and put a clause in the
contract that states, "If property
does not appraise at or above the
agreed upon price, the buyer is
willing to cover the difference up
to $20,000 (for example)". This
gives some peace of mind to the
seller that they will be still be able
to close. Check with your REAL-
TOR® and more importantly your
mortgage lender to see if this type
of clause is feasible or wise in your
situation.
4. Contingencies
Two standard contingencies in
any offer are typically; home inspection
and financing. Are you
willing to waive a home inspection?
Not something that is recommended,
however you may tell
the seller that you aren’t looking to
renegotiate the deal all over again if
any minor home inspection issues
come up. With the financing contingency,
if you have a relationship
with your mortgage agent and he/
she has all your documentation
and told you that all you need is
a positive appraisal, put that in
the offer. By making the offer only
subject to a positive appraisal (you
can even sweeten it by writing in
what we wrote above) you make
your offer much, much stronger.
However, you must be 100% sure
that you can do this or you could
potentially lose your earnest money
deposits.
Before implementing any of
these suggestions, talk with your
REALTOR®, mortgage agent and
real estate attorney. Make sure
that if you are doing anything that
changes the standard terms and
conditions in a contract you run it
by all three professionals. They can
let you know what may or may
not be appropriate for any given
home purchase.
