Fine Fettle Dispensary
opens to a crowd
By Stewart Lytle, Reporter
REGIONAL – Ben Zachs is excited
about the early success of his Fine Fettle
Dispensary on Rte. 1 near the Rowley-Ipswich
town line. The shop, which opened
only in late June, is seeing an 82 percent
rate of customer returning to buy more.
By comparison, Zachs’ two medical marijuana
shops in Connecticut have a 71 percent
rate of customers returning.
“We are very excited to be on the North
Shore,” he said. “We perceive that this area
is underserved” by marijuana shops.
Zachs, who resides in Connecticut, was
disappointed that he had to miss a ribbon
cutting event at the shop with the Greater
Newburyport Chamber of Commerce last
week. When he was five minutes away to
Rowley, his wife called to tell him he had to
come home. She had been exposed to the
Covid-19 virus, which required his family,
including an infant, quarantine.
“It was disappointing,” Zachs said.
Gathered at the shop, located at 116 Newburyport
Tnpk., for the event was a crowd
of well-wishers, friends and customers.
Helping cut the ribbon at the shop was

ROWLEY – Despite the Covid-19 pandemic
this year, Solace for Stephanie helped
11 people diagnosed with cancer, including
a two-year-old child with acute leukemia.
“That is almost one per month. Humbling,”
said Mary Ann (Mo) Levasseur, who leads the
organization, created to help area residents
with cancer. Solace was founded more than a
decade ago to honor Stephanie Jenkins, a popular
Rowley hairdresser who died of cancer.
Solace raises money, mostly through personal
donations and an annual Comedy
Night in November, and helps cancer sufferers
with gift cards to defray the increased
expenses of the disease. Since it was founded,
Solace has helped more than 90 people
with their expenses of fighting cancer.
Recipients are chosen by the board that
includes mostly Stephanie’s family, Ron,
Steve, Dan and Kyle Jenkins, her brother,
Domenic Femino, and Levasseur.
“We were able to help ALL of these people
because of ALL of your support in the
past 10 years!” Levasseur wrote in an email.
Among those the organization helped
this year was a man whose brother-in-law
FREE
Solace for Stephanie helps
a cancer victim each month
was close to Stephanie and who has contributed
to Solace every year for the last 10
years. The cancer victim, his wife and family
“fought a very brave battle during the
past few months,” Levasseur said.
When the 90th donation to Solace came
in, the board met and decided to make one
of its largest donations ever to help the
man and his family. “Domenic said Stephanie
would want to do everything we can
for this family.” Levasseur said. “We gave
back BIG to this family because they gave
each and every year unconditionally to Solace,”
Levasseur wrote in an email to Solace
friends and supporters.
“Unfortunately, he passed away a few
weeks ago,” she said. “We will be able to
help someone in his name, and that is the
pay it forward moment we are all about.
We are thankful to this family in their time
of mourning.”
“No one is prepared for a cancer diagnosis,”
Levasseur said.
Most of the cancer victims who receive
help from Solace are referred by the organization’s
supporters.

Community benefactors creating holiday
magic in 8th annual ‘SeaFestival of Trees’
By Sarah E. Hull
I don’t know if you are familiar
with the famous holiday
movie from 1946 called, ‘It’s a
Wonderful Life?’ It stars Jimmy
Stewart and Donna Reed, along
with an angel named ‘Clarence,
‘2nd class.’ who is working to
earn his wings. It is a timeless
story of how a local businessman
loves his hometown community,
as much as he imagines taking
exciting trips to foreign lands.
He understands the meaning
of responsibility, and works to
help families and individuals to
achieve their dreams through
his caring friendship, and, when
needed, with loans from, ‘The
Building and Loan.’ He then,
through no fault of his own, gets
down on his luck, and wonders
if he’s made any difference at all?

Fine Fettle Dispensary
opens to a crowd
Fine Fettle, from page 1
membership, and Frank Bertolino,
a chamber board member.
Fine Fettle Dispensary offers
premium cannabis flower, edibles,
concentrates, extracted oils and
topicals. Deriving its name from
the old English saying that one
is in good order or condition, the
dispensary puts quality of its product
“as the most important thing,”
said shop general manager Anthony
Lipari. “That’s why we only offer
the finest craft cannabis to our
consumers and patients.”
Lipari said Fine Fettle has seen a
diverse customer base with people
“from all walks of life, young and
old and a wide variety of needs.
We help a lot of people.”
He said the staff is trained extensively
in the products they sell,
but also in customer service. “At
Fine Fettle, our focus is on the individual.
We’re here to help people
learn how medical and adult-use
cannabis can help them find balance,
happiness and relief.”
Zachs said the company culture
is: One size does not fit all.
The shop’s customer base includes
a wide range of individuals, some
over 100 years old. “They have a
variety of needs – to sleep, to relax,
to be creative,” he said.
A major beneficiary of the retail
marijuana industry is the town of
Rowley, which collects a 3 percent
host fee and 3 percent of sales.
Fine Fettle is the second recreational
and medical marijuana
shop to open in the town.
“We live in an exciting time,”
said Lipari, who learned the business
in Denver, CO, which permitted
recreational cannabis shops
several years ago. “New advancements
are being made every day in
the marijuana industry.”
For that reason, Fine Fettle
trains its budtenders, technicians
and customer care specialists to be
in the foreground of research and
education, Lipari said.
“Every aspect of our showroom is
designed to make you feel empowered
and educated,” he said. “Whether
you are a seasoned pro or are nervous
to try cannabis for the first time,
our team will meet you at your level.”
Fine Fettle, like other retail cannabis
shops, may be one of the
most secure places. There are 20
cameras in the store, and it retains
its video footage for 90 days.
Because the marijuana business
is legal only within certain states,
including Massachusetts, banking
for the shop can only be with state
charter banks. It banks with Century
Bank and allows the shop to
collect payment with bank debit
and credit cards.

Solace also awarded two scholarships
this year, its 14th and 15th
scholarships to help young people
attending cosmetology school or
college and aspire to help others.
The scholarships to students who
want to give back to others follow
Solace’s motto of “the chain reaction.”
Last month would have been
the 11th annual Comedy Night
fundraiser for Solace. The event,
featuring local comics, Paul Gilligan,
Frank Santorelli and Kenny
Rogerson, was held last year in a
building at the Topsfield Fair and
raised more than $20,000 last year.
It was the best year Solace has
had in fundraising. But like most
fundraising events this year, Comedy
Night had to be canceled due
to the virus.
“A pandemic won’t stop us. We
will be back,” Levasseur wrote.
“We will take this year to reflect
and rejuvenate. And we will come
back strong. Our wish for you is to
stay well and, if possible, continue
to support Solace for Stephanie.”
Solace is a 501c Charitable organization,
which makes any donation
a tax deduction. Levasseur
suggested that supporters ask their
employer if the company offers a
matching donation program.

Brighter smiles ...
Starting at Birth – Step 1
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 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), 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.
Next week, in the second part
of this 3-part series, we will explore
some important issues to
consider during the next phase
of life.

dental practice in Rowley

Community benefactors creating holiday magic in 8th annual ‘SeaFestival of Trees’
SeaFestival of Trees, from page 1
Clarence shows him what life
would’ve been like without his
presence. The story ends with
the entire community stepping
forward to help George and his
family in their time of need. This
year, the classic movie strikes a
chord. More than a few people
have found themselves working
harder than ever to surmount
unexpected losses and difficulties
due to the devastating coronavirus
pandemic.
Many locals might agree that
Wayne Capolupo is similar in
heart and spirit to George Bailey.
His respected, good name is
well-known in the region, and
he’s revered for his commitment
to the Salisbury community. The
public may not often see him,
yet people know by his outstanding
business acumen and
public work results that, ‘he’s
there, and he cares.’ His expert
management team is also working
tirelessly to create a ‘dose’ of
holiday joy for others this year
with the ‘reimagined’ ‘8th annual
SeaFestival of Trees’ that runs
November 28 through December
30.
Mr. Capolupo grew up in
Salisbury, one of five children,
and works as the owner of the
SPS New England Road and
Bridge Construction Firm.
That’s in addition to his ownership
of the Atlantic Hospitality
Group (AHG), of which Blue
Ocean Event Center, Seaglass
Restaurant, Capri Seaside Italian
Kitchen & Pizzeria, Blue Ocean
Music Hall and SurfSide are
parts.
The 10-person AHG management
team embodies his passionate
drive for excellence and
results in revitalizing the Salisbury
area. Kathy Aiello, his right
hand for thirteen years, and Director
of Atlantic Hospitality
Group, which encompasses all of
his enterprises, says, ‘we have a
great team. Everyone works well
together, and shares the same energy,
enthusiasm, and goal-oriented
drive.’
A second committee has been
created for the SeaFestival, and,
as Kathy explained, ‘is again
supported by businesses in Salisbury,
Newburyport and beyond.’
To help understand what a challenge
it was to ‘re-imagine,’ she
stated that, ‘last year, the Blue
Ocean hosted 26,000 attendees,
and showcased 150 donated
trees.’ This year, the team knew,
‘that, more than ever, people
need holiday joy.’ There are now
30 trees that will illuminate local
business windows, and people
can purchase raffle tickets
online at www.seafestivaloftrees.
com for a chance to take a tree
home. The five anchoring sponsors
include Newburyport Bank,
RE/MAX on the River, Central
Catholic High School, Gienapp
Architects, and Blue Ocean
Event Center, and are supported
by numerous other supporters.
Flowers by Marianne, owned
by Marianne Velardocchia, has
created a designer tree that is
paired with a $5,000 cash prize
made possible by private donations.
This, and other high value
showcase trees are on display
in the lobby of the Blue Ocean
Event Center. Marianne has entered
a 2nd tree in the raffle that
is viewable at her shop located
at 779 Lafayette Rd, Seabrook,
NH. Phone: (603) 601-6312.
She and her staff have also created
other decorated holiday trees,
and they hope the public will
visit and buy a festive ornament.
As Marianne shared, ‘we’ve been
involved with this special event
since its first year, and love being
a part of it!”
Holiday Tree Stroll participants
can briefly take a socially-distanced
walk around the
lobby of the Blue Ocean Event
Center, located at 4 Ocean Front
N, Salisbury, MA, to see decorated
trees, and the magnificent
8 foot tall by 8 foot wide gingerbread
house, created by Jim
Shalkoski, Seaglass restaurant’s
General Manager. He’s been
working day and night, baking
gingerbread for his creation.
Attendees can continue their
walk around Salisbury Beach
Center to view trees through the
windows of SurfSide, Ground-
Swell Surf Café, The Sand Dollar
Store, Swell Willey’s and
Capri Seaside Italian Kitchen &
Pizzeria. Then, take a drive to see
more lit-up, creative trees in the
windows of Newburyport businesses.
There is a map ‘Where to
Find the Trees’ on the Festival’s
website, www.seafestivaloftrees.
com, along with a printable
version of the Scavenger Hunt,
which can also be viewed on
one’s phone.
What many thought might
end up being, ‘The year without
a Santa Claus,’ with no raffle
trees, and no twinkling lights
or holiday cheer to enjoy, has
changed. Thanks to Mr. Capolupo’s
dedicated team and many
committed local businesses, it’s
become, ’Santa Claus is Coming
to Town,’ just as Frank Sinatra
used to croon at Salisbury Beach
in a venue called The Frolics,

years ago.
Kathy encourages the public
to, ‘Come out to enjoy the trees
and please buy raffle tickets for a
chance to take home spectacular
one-of-a-kind trees and prizes!’
If you’d prefer a night relaxing
with a good meal at home, Seaglass
and Capri restaurants also
offer take-out meals. Staff have
been trained on pandemic safety
protocols, and go through a
health check point daily when
onsite to ensure compliance with
recommended guidelines. Capri,
across the parking lot from Seaglass,
is offering a convenient
‘grab and go’ menu of Italian
specialties that do not need to
be pre-ordered, including Erica
Capolupo Breen’s outstanding
sun-dried tomato dip. When
in culinary school she created
the appetizer and brought it to
Capri to be enjoyed with fresh
Ciabatta bread. Installation has
also been completed on a Forno
Bravo pizza oven right inside
Capri’s doors. Patrons can enjoy
watching the specialty pizzas being
made onsite.
You may wonder why the
Capolupos put an Italian restaurant
directly across from the
Blue Ocean? In part, to honor
their hardworking grandparents
who emigrated from a small
town in southern Italy, and built
a new life in East Boston. They
share with the public their passion
for gathering together over
a delicious Italian meal, enjoying
meaningful social connections

SeaFestival of Trees, from page 5
that are woven into the fabric of
their Italian culture.
Mr. Capolupo’s level of commitment
and care for the community
goes beyond what most
may realize. Thirteen years ago
he created another annual tradition
called the ‘Sand and Sea’
Festival. 20,000 people attended
over the course of three days.
One year, he even facilitated the
Tall Ships arrival.
He’s also founded the
non-profit Salisbury Beach Partnership.
It’s an organization
comprised of local residents and
business owners who are dedicated
to creating a better Salisbury
Beach experience. This year,
70% of SeaFestival donations
will go to rebuilding the 110-
year old wooden Carousel. The
second goal of the Partnership is
to protect the beach and dunes
and provide free public programming
in summer; aligning
with the efforts of the MA Department
of Conservation and
Recreation. Thirty percent of
donations will go to their vital
work.
Looking to the future, the
Salisbury Welcome Center has
already broken ground to better
meet community needs, and the
One Oceanfront Development
awaits approval for 200 new
housing units.
Mr. Capolupo continues to
work with his fingers on the
pulse of the region. For those
that live in the area, it’s difficult
to imagine, just as George Bailey
saw in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’
what the community would be
like without his influence, and
his team’s dedication to supporting
Salisbury. Would there be a
beach center that reflects more
lighthearted days where families
can enjoy good music, a good
meal, and a fun night out by the
ocean?
Please buy raffle tickets for
the ‘SeaFestival of Trees,’ and
show your support for all of the
businesses who have generously
contributed in this tough time.
The employees and volunteers
are working diligently to create
a magical holiday experience for
this 8th year of the event, no
matter what is happening in the
world. Without supportive benefactors
like the Capolupo family,
and many other business owners,
Salisbury and Newburyport
wouldn’t be the special destinations
they are today. As Kathy
shares, ‘the goal is to bring joy to
people in a year where they need
it most in a safe way.’
