Rick Appleton with his Giesen Roaster.
ROWLEY – Rick Appelton faced one
of life’s crossroads after putting the pharmaceutical
industry in his rearview mirror.
Out of a job, his children grown and
himself getting remarried, he decided not
to seek another corporate job. Instead he
wanted to follow his dream and strike out
as an entrepreneur.
But doing what?
He had two choices that intrigued him.
One was opening a jazz club where he could
indulge his passion for the saxophone. The
other was to pursue his newly acquired interest
in specialty coffee.
While there is always room for more jazz
in Boston or the North Shore, probably more
people are cheering his decision to open Burwell
Beans, a specialty coffee roaster.
Currently marketing directly to customers
on the Internet, Appleton, a native Brit,
is winning over enthusiastic drinkers who
are loving his small batch roasted beans
from all over the world. After purchasing
a Giesen Roaster along with other equipment,
he opened the store in Rowley the
day before July 4.
Two months later, Burwell Beans is enjoying
a steady flow of customers, many of
them coming back for more, which Appleton
calls “humbling,” and to offer lots of
feedback on his coffees.
In addition to selling his coffee beans
on the Internet and at the store, he can be
found with bags of his beans at the Rowley
Farmers Market, where he delights in discussion
with locals about coffee.
“I’ve not looked back,” he said about his
decision.
In a blog on his web site, burwellbeans.com/blog,
he wrote that his road
to Rowley had many “learning curves.”
He entered the coffee business with limited
coffee production knowledge and less
understanding or contacts in the complex
coffee supply chain.

COVID not slowing the
housing market
REGIONAL – If you are having a hard
time finding a place to live, either a home
to buy or rent, you are not alone. Despite
the Pandemic that has dragged down most
sectors of the economy, the North Shore
housing market is good for sellers, tight for
buyers.
During the second quarter of the year
– April, May and June, the height of the
economic closure because of the virus – the
number of homes on the market was at 1.3
months, down 50 percent from the same
time the previous year, according to MLS
data.
Since real estate experts consider six
months of inventory to be a balance between
a buyers’ and sellers’ market, that
makes the current housing market an extreme
sellers’ market.
“When I started in this business in 2002,
we had a sellers’ market. But nothing like
this,” said John McCarthy, owner of Rowley
Realty. “It is as busy as I have ever seen.”
While the number of homes sold is significantly
lower, the number of days a home
in Essex County has a sign in the front yard
was 38 days in the second quarter. That is
down 17 percent from spring of 2019.
In Amesbury, homes were on the market
only 32 days during the second quarter.
That was down 27 percent from the previous
spring quarter. In Ipswich, homes were
on the market for an average of 33 days, a
37 percent drop from the previous spring
quarter.
In Newburyport, homes were on the
market slightly longer at an average of 47
days, but even that was down 20 percent
from the previous year.
Salisbury sellers had their homes on the
market an average of 51 days, which was
up 78 percent. Rowley and Newbury were
up at an average of 101 days, a rise of 66
percent from the previous spring quarter.
Sellers are also getting their asking price.
Across the county, buyers are paying 99.5

Coffee bean roasting
comes to Rte. 1
Coffee, from page 1
That led him to the Boot Coffee
Campus in San Rafael, CA, a
Specialty Coffee Assn. training
center, which offers courses to ambitious
amateurs like Appleton.
After spending a lot of time training
and becoming SCA certified,
he was armed with the right tools
and knowledge to produce some
exciting coffees. One of his proudest
achievements recently was his
coffee selections were assessed and
tested by the training center and
received very positive feedback.
When he needed a suitable location
to set up Burwell Beans, the
Peabody resident hoped to find
the perfect spot along the North
Shore. He thought it would be
easy after spending much of his
30-year career with Pfizer and other
large drug companies, acquiring
land and building or renovating
buildings.
Instead, he spent several frustrating
months looking at sites
before he settled in what was the
office space for the Szczechowicz
Landscaping Services at 421 Newburyport
Tnpk. The landscapers,
his landlord, are still there, working
from a building behind Burwell
Beans. There is probably some
synergy between landscapers and
coffee roasters.
The design and construction of
his offices, which might have been
fraught with problems, was a real
joy, he wrote.
Even working with the town of
Rowley to gain a special permit
to roast coffee, a step he thought
might be difficult, turned out to
be easy. “The town has been great
to work with,” he said. His experience
in permitting and zoning
came in handy.
His prior experience working
with oncology therapy drugs
also helped. During the Obama
administration, the federal government
began regulating coffee

through the Food and Drug Administration,
an agency he was familiar
with.
The Food Modernization Act
requires that large and small coffee
manufacturers adopt good manufacturing
practices.
“For me, this requirement
meant good news: I’d spent an
entire career in drug development
and manufacturing doing just
that. I’d overseen operations, facilities,
procurement, environmental
health and safety, supply chain,
security, laboratory services, repair
and maintenance. I had also studied
law and finance at postgraduate
level,” he wrote.
Last week, Appleton seemed to
be in his natural element, darting
from one tray of three coffee cups
to another, smelling, tasting, assessing
and recording on a computer
the attributes of several new beans
he hopes to roast for his customers.
The Burwell name is taken
from an English village where he
once lived. Burwell, a town near
Cambridge, was an Anglo-Saxon
settlement next to water and signifies
new life, new beginnings
and new trade opportunities,
which for Appleton seemed appropriate.
He was starting “a whole new
chapter, a new beginning, and
Burwell Beans represents that new
lease on life,” he wrote.
For the future, the jazz club
is still part of his plan. In building
out his store, he carved out
one room for music and exercise.
There will come a day, he hopes,
when he finds the time and right
location to open a Jazz café where
he can indulge both passions.
“For now, many of my coffee
offerings will have a jazz influence,”
he wrote. His first house
blend will be called Page One,
inspired by the legendary saxophonist
Joe Henderson’s classic
album, as well as the first page of
his own new chapter.

percent of the original asking
price. And the average sales price
was almost $586,000, up almost 6
percent from the previous year.
“It’s not a good time to be a
buyer,” McCarthy said.
Salisbury homes saw a big jump
in price during the second quarter,
hitting a median sales price
of $430,000, a rise of 33 percent.
Some neighborhoods in Newbury
and Rowley saw home sales prices
jump 8.7 percent to $655,000,
while others had a median sales
price of $599,000, up by 11 percent.
Newburyport was the lone
North Shore community to see
its median home prices drop 11
percent to $663,000 during the
second quarter.
Most houses on the market receive
multiple offers, he said. A
house went on the market recently
and in one day had four offers.
McCarthy attributes the hot
sellers’ market to historically low
interest rates.
The North Shore is attractive to
buyers, because “people are finding
they can live anywhere. They
don’t have to live in the city. That
is one thing that the Pandemic has
taught us,” he said.
Some buyers are leaving more
congested areas to escape the virus.
“I’ve heard that,” he said, but
he did not think it was a major
factor in the rush to buy homes.
The market is also being driven
because owners can sell their
house and pull out the equity they
have built up and buy a bigger,
more expensive house or downsize
into a condo, he said.
The rental market is not
much better. A Florida couple
called him recently asking for
help in renting a house in this
area. “I told them there’s not
much I do to help them right
now,” he said.
Rental fees have risen significantly,
making it cheaper to buy
a home than rent one. McCarthy
said he had a client recently who
bought a condo and is paying less
for her low-interest mortgage than
she was paying in rent.
“I just hope it continues,” Mc-
Carthy said.

HEALTH COACH/TRAINER
978-810-5078
By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD
I attended a continuing education
course a while back entitled “Hit
Man or Healer?” The course was
given by a well-known leader in the
dental profession. The basic premise
of the course was the notion that we
have a lot more science, studies and
data available today to be able to
make better decisions about the treatment
that we dentists recommend to
patients. The concept is called evidence-based
dentistry.
The idea is that if a very structured
examination and diagnosis is done,
treatment recommendations can be
made based on science. The problem
is, all too often the diagnosis leads to
suggestions that without the proper
dialogue can make the dentist look
like a “hit man” (ie. patient perception
of over-treatment) vs. “healer” (intervention
with the intention to preserve
the teeth better for the long-term).
The lecturer started by putting an
image of a person’s teeth on the screen
and asking the audience to guess how
old the person was. My father and
brother are veterinarians. They use
Brighter smiles ...
The Dental Data Game
the appearance of teeth to estimate
an animal’s age. Although it is relatively
easy to estimate a person’s age
during transition from the primary
teeth to permanent teeth, it is apparently
a little more difficult when all
the permanent teeth are in. I guessed
the age of the patient on the screen to
be between 50 and 60.
The patient had great looking
teeth. You could tell the person was
a mature adult by the darkening of
the teeth, but there was very little
wear and very minimal dentistry. The
patient ended up being 94 years old,
which was more evident when her full
face was projected on the screen…..
although she looked great in general
for 94. The lecturer said, “Is this the
way teeth should look at 94 or is this
woman a freak of nature?”
While there are definitely genetic
factors that may play a role, many of
the problems we see today with teeth
are 100% preventable. For example,
dental decay is 100% preventable.
However, it is still not uncommon
today to have a patient (maybe a
teenager or an older person on multiple
medications with dry mouth)
come in for a routine dental hygiene
appointment and be told they have
decay, or multiple areas of decay,
which were not present 6 months
ago. In that scenario the dentist
would be considered the “hit man”.
The “healer” may have taken a different
approach, and may have done
a more thorough evidence-based
evaluation and made recommendations
based on diet, homecare habits
and maybe even familial history that
could prevent the decay in the first
place. Dentists have gotten good at
telling patients how they can “fix”
the problem, but need to consider
changing their thinking and get more
training in how to “prevent” the
problems we see today in dentistry.
Many of the basic principles learned
in dental school are used on a routine
basis. However, there is continuous
new data emerging that we as health
care providers need to expose ourselves
to and decide on what and how to implement
for the benefit of our patients.
I hope to see major advancements in
our approach to oral health care in my
career. There is no reason you can’t live
to 94 and have a great set of teeth.
As I have said numerous times over
the last few weeks, and you will hear
it again next week too: Unfailing
routine professional maintenance is
a key factor in achieving and maintaining
dental health. Don’t just hope
you’re a freak of nature.

dental practice in Rowley and Newburyport

dentistry. If there are certain topics you

GEORGETOWN — Georgetown
Fire Chief Fred Mitchell
was re-credentialed for the level
of fire chief by the Massachusetts
Fire Service Commission (FCS) on
Thursday, Sept. 10.
The FSC is a gubernatorial appointed
board that has established
a process for uniform credentialing
for the level of fire chief based on
education, training and experience
in areas relevant to serving as fire
chief. The program establishes
benchmarks for training in fire and
emergency service management so
that chiefs may be better prepared
to serve their department and
community. Chief Mitchell was
first granted accreditation in 2017
and participants must renew their
credentials every three years.
“I’m honored to once again receive
this accreditation and would
like to thank the incredible members
of the Georgetown Fire Department
for their support during
this process,” Chief Mitchell said.
“I will continue to work hard to
ensure residents receive the highest
quality of service, and to be an effective
leader and manager for the
department.”
Any fire service member serving
as chief of a department, or who
holds the rank of captain or above
is able to apply for accreditation.
Participation is voluntary and all
eligible personnel are encouraged
to apply.
Each applicant’s documentation
is reviewed by a subcommittee
of the Massachusetts Fire Service
Commission to determine if the
individual has attained a minimum
level of credits for education,
training and experience.

Salisbury
Elementary Ride a
Bike Program
Salisbury — Salisbury Elementary
School received a complete
Learn-To-Ride Program, including
Strider Learn-To-Ride Bikes,
helmets, and curriculum, thanks
to fundraising efforts from the
PTA. The bikes will be delivered
and assembled this week so kids
can get rolling soon.
This donation will help approximately
375 kindergarten students
learn to ride over the next five
years.
Salisbury Elementary School
will receive everything they
need to get their students pedaling
through the Kindergarten
P.E. program. The program
includes a proven, integrative
curriculum, staff training and
certification, the revolutionary,
child-friendly Strider Learn-
To-Ride Bikes, and helmets.
The fleet of dual-propulsion
14x Strider Bikes start as balance
bikes and convert to pedal
bikes. This conversion makes
learning to ride easier than
ever before and makes training
wheels obsolete. The Strider
Education Foundation, the program
provider, also offers continued
support for each school
to ensure everyone involved is
successful for five years.
Salisbury Elementary School’s
PTA’s President, Jennifer
Roketenetz said: “SES PTA
works towards ensuring inclusion
of all experiences for ALL
our children and their families.
It is something that our administrators,
our PTA, and educators
strive for each and every.
We do so in whichever way we
can. That may mean clipping
10 cent box tops at our kitchen
tables, putting together baskets
to raffle, offering children
the opportunity to watch their
principal kiss a pig in exchange
for reading, or hosting an event
such as this. Basically, if we can
raise funds to offer our children
amazing experiences- we do it.
With your support, SES PTA
can significantly enrich and create
an environment in which
ALL our children have the same
opportunities physically, learning,
cultural awareness, citizenship,
growth, and making their
community and their world a
better place.”
Over 220 schools in 35 states
are utilizing the All Kids Bike
Kindergarten PE Program to
date. All Kids Bike Marketing
Specialist, Breiane Williams,
reported “All Kids Bike is excited
to add Massachusetts to the
roster of states seeing the value
of getting kids off screen and
on two-wheels in kindergarten!”
Learning to ride a bike is not
only a lifetime skill, but a rite of
passage; every child can benefit
from the fun, freedom, confidence,
and mobility of twowheels.

Amesbury
Carriage Museum
announces the
public phase of the
Campaign for the
Industrial History
Center
After years of planning, and
additional delays caused by
COVID 19, the Amesbury Carriage
Museum (ACM) is announcing
a public campaign to
raise the funds needed to build
the new Industrial History Center
(IHC).
“This is an incredible moment
for the ACM,” says museum director
John Mayer. “We have
been planning to establish a museum
location for years, and finally,
we are about to realize our
dreams.” The Industrial History
Center will be a destination for
exhibits, public programs, workshops
and events, and serve as an
active resource for the regional
community.
Over the past year and a half,
the ACM has received generous
support during the campaign’s
silent phase from many members
of the Amesbury community.
Greg Jardis, owner of
Amesbury Industrial Supply,
donated 2,700 square feet of
space in his historic mill building
for the Center. Other lead
donors have made generous
gifts. “We are now ready to ask
the public for their support,”
says Mayer. “We have to raise
the final $100,000 to complete
construction of the IHC. We
are very close to our goal.”
To announce the public
phase of the campaign, the
ACM is holding a ceremonial
ground-breaking event, on September
24th at 3 PM. Taking
place in front of the building site
in Amesbury’s upper millyard,
the event will also include a virtual
tour of the IHC interior which
is currently under construction.
The public is invited to join virtually
on Facebook, on the Amesbury
Community TV website,
and on cable TV.

HOW DO I SELL MY HOUSE?
I HAVE NOWHERE TO MOVE
Where will we go?
I hear this all the time.
Your home is too big.
The maintenance is too much for you
You are eating up retirement money paying the mortgage.
You have lots of stuff to remove before showing your house.
And I am tired, I do not have the time.
Sound like you?
