NEWBURYPORT – Moving to Newburyport to open 17 State Street, a new restaurant downtown here, and closing her Cathy's Country Kitchen in Rowley after 18 years have taken a toll on Cathy Moulton.

Her niece, Erinn Parsons, came into the small offi ce in the back of the new 80-seat restaurant one day last week with an important question for Moulton. “Can I get you some lunch? You haven't eaten.”

Asked if it was part of her job to make sure her aunt eats, Parsons said yes, it was part of every staff member's job.

Moulton, who often forgets to eat and has lost weight, has renovated the 3,000 square feet of space once Continued on page 3

Pastor Has Inspiration in Bringing Church Service to the Beach

SALISBURY BEACH – Dr. Bruce Boria, pastor of the large Bethany Church in Greenland, NH, was not so sure he had the energy or the strength to bring his Christian ministry to the people of Salisbury Beach.

“I was tired. I knew it was going to be a lot of work,” he thought as he drove away from the Blue Ocean Music Hall here. He had been meeting with local people, including a parishioner, Tom Saab, a local real estate investor, and with music hall executives about holding fi ve church services on Sunday mornings this month and next at the music hall.

Th e services here would be in addition to his ministry to about 2,000 people who come to Bethany Church on Sundays and to his

occupied by the Fowle's newsstand and its accompanying sofa fountain and cafe. She opened the new retro-looking restaurant three weeks ago.

“It has been going very well,” she said. “We have been welcomed very graceously.” She said old customers from Rowley, curious tourists, a lot of new people and some locals have come in to check out the new restaurant.

Th at welcome was not always assured. Th ere was considerable angst – she calls it controversy – over a new owner taking over the old Fowle's News space, which had been an institution operating on State Street since 1903.

ministry at a satellite church in Raymond, NH.

But as he was facing his doubts, he saw one of the largest and most attractive buildings at the beach. Th e two-story columned building housed the Ten's Show Club, an adult entertainment bar, about 100 yards from the music hall.

He thought about how Jesus took his ministry to the sinners. And he thought, if the people who own that club can make it happen at the beach, “who am I not to try?”

Boria said his mission is to take the Christian gospel to the people of New England. His ministry, since 2003 at Bethany Church, has attracted people from throughout New Hampshire and the North Shore of Massachusetts.

Letters to the EditorDear Editor,

The Market Street Baptist, the Rock Church Amesbury (previously First United Methodist),140 Main Street and the Friendship Baptist Church Youth Group from Litchfield, CT are thankful to the City of Amesbury for allowing us the privilege of being a part of the "Kid's Day in the Park" on Thursday, June 28. It is our fifth year setting up inflatable obstacle course and bouncy house, giving out free popcorn and sno-cones with the help of volunteers from the three churches and connected with local families. We have made it our goal to provide a safe and fun environment for families to enjoy the day together at no cost to them or the town.

We'd like to thank the many volunteers for their participation, enthusiasm and team work; to those who donated funds, items, equipment and transportation; to Vermettes Supermarket, Pond Street, Amesbury for donating ice for sno-cones; to Boy Scouts Troop 4 of Market Street Baptist Church for the loan of their tents; to Fuller's Menswear, Main Street, Amesbury for printing T-shirts and to the Amesbury's Recreation’s Director Kathleen Crowley for coordinating the event. We want to thank the teens and adults from the Friendship Baptist Church for making the trip from Connecticut to work with us.

We are looking forward to another "Kid's Day" of fun in 2013.

Dianne Cole, Ministry Assistant, Market Street Baptist Church

Kid's Day in the Park Gets Better Every Year!

To the Editor:

We are writing to support the bond bill to relocate the Department of Public Works facility from Water St. to 39 Hunt Road. This project is vital to the future economic growth of Amesbury and will contribute significantly to improving the quality of life in the City, creating jobs and broadening the tax base. It is consistent with the long term growth strategy of Amesbury, defined in the Master Plan, to locate new development in the city center near public and private amenities, including transportation. The new development encouraged by this move will more than pay for the cost of the project. Thanks to the City Council, the Mayor and Rob Desmarais for their hard work on revisiting this project and coming up with a less costly but equally desirable alternative.

The relocation of the DPW is critical to the continued advancement of other projects in the Lower Millyard. The Transportation Center is nearly complete. The Amesbury Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Amesbury Carriage Museum, have proposed a museum, visitors' center and artists' lofts for the building adjacent to the old DPW building. The City has proposed and is seeking outside funding for a park on the land adjacent to that at the corner of the Back and Powow Rivers. The City is also working to extend the Riverwalk from Main St. to Water St. The City is working to expand the parking garage, which will provide sorely needed parking for the downtown. The Carriage Mills building has a long term expansion plan, with a significant tenant to occupy a $3 million expansion. The Bartley land has a mixed use development under proposal. The old mill buildings at 1-25 Oakland St. have enormous development potential. Funding for these projects is contingent on the DPW relocation, and all will advance more quickly once the DPW is relocated.

These projects will provide economic development of $50 million, and has the potential to add as much as $90 million to Amesbury's tax base over the next ten years. At the current tax rate, this results in $1.8 million in added tax revenue per year. The bond payments for the DPW project will be about $400,000. Even if the future development is less than half of the projected amount, the project is more than paid for by the increased revenues.

This is a unique opportunity to take an underutilized part of Amesbury and create a completely new neighborhood. Amesbury desperately needs to expand its tax base in order to remain viable into the future. This redevelopment will contribute significantly to the future stability of Amesbury's tax base. The long term result will be lower real estate taxes, not higher.

The relocation comes at a good time because the cost of construction and the cost of financing are both at historic lows. In several years, this will look like a very smart decision. Construction costs will only grow higher. The size of this debt will seem miniscule compared to the economic development and growth that it promotes.

The bottom line is that now is the time for the City to step forward and make the infrastructure investments that will serve Amesbury for decades to come. As the economy improves, Amesbury will be well positioned for growth, and these projects will promote stability in City finances. The question is not whether Amesbury can afford to do this project. The issue is that Amesbury cannot afford not to do this project.

Sincerely,Anne Bonaventura, Chairman

of Amesbury Chamber of Commerce; Economic Development Committee, Amesbury Chamber of Commerce

Pastor Has Inspiration in BringingChurch Service to the Beach

His goal, he said: “We want to raise the spiritual landscape of New England.”

Th e New York-born pastor came to New Hampshire in large part because the state ranks 49th in church attendance. Massachusetts ranks a bit higher because of its strong Catholic churches, he said.

In New England, churches have been failing for years with declining memberships. Some churches have been sold and turned into residences. Others are now restaurants.

“We wanted to turn this restaurant (the Blue Ocean Music Hall) into a church,” said Karyn Green, the director of communications for the Bethany Church.

Boria agreed. “We want to go where the people are,” he said.

He hasn't had much trouble fi nding people at the beach. He and his team of volunteers are working the beach, the shops, the restaurants and bars in this popular

children, said she wanted to honor the history of Fowle's in her new restaurant. She kept in place the iconic Fowle's sign on the front of the building, although it now also has a sign hanging from it identifying the new restaurant by its new name.

Knowingt she would face skepticism, she deliberately did not paper over the windows during construction to allow the daily peepers to watch the changes unfolding inside.

“I understand. A piece of history was going away,” she said. And having grown up in the area and gone to school in Newburyport, she knew that many locals fi ght hard to keep any bit of history in place.

“But look at the décor. We have enhanced the space. We have made it nostalgic,” she said.

Th ere are framed photos of old Newburyport on the walls. Th e old soda fountain counter remained. She installed a new kitchen because the old Fowle's had a very small

kitchen. But she has not continued to sell newspapers and magazines because “there is really no business there.”

Moulton was off ered the space by Ann Lagasse, who heads Newburyport Development, which owns the building. Lagasse, who was looking to fi ll the space after the two previous tenants opted not to renew their lease, had eaten often at Cathy's in Rowley and thought her style of food would work well on State Street.

Th e timing was perfect. Moulton had lost her lease for her popular breakfast and lunch place at Rowley Crossroads and was looking to move. “After 18 years, it was time,” she said.

Opening the restaurant has created a lot of frantic days. “Th is one has actually been fairly calm,” she said. She hoped it would be a harbinger of things to come when the challenges will ease in opening a new restaurant and hiring new staff , including a “wonderful” new manager Heather Paterson, to blend with those employees who came

from Cathy's Country Kitchen.“I had forgotten how much

of a challenge it is to open a new restaurant,” she said.

A member of a large entrepreneurial family, she has always liked owning her own businesses. Her parents, Kay and Ray Moulton, own Surfl and Bait and Tackle. Her brother owns Riverfront Marina in Salisbury. Her grandfather owned Riverside Dairy and Webster's Ice Cream stand.

“I guess you could just say it is the genes,” she said.

She has just received her liquor license from the state, and she expects to serve alcoholic drinks in a couple of weeks. But she does not envision 17 State Street being a serious bar, like the nearby Th irsty Whale and the Grog. But rather she would like to serve drinks that complement the food.

So what did the owner of the city's newest restaurant tell her niece to have the cooks make her for lunch?

Nothing fancy. Just two pieces of chicken.

Th is weekend the beach will be crowded with the Surf Music & Brew Fest on the beach for the weekend. Surf rocker Donovan Frankenreiter, the Jimmy Buff ett tribute band Changes in Latitudes and local favorite Dead Air Project will draw a crowd.

Th e fi rst-ever Surf Music & Brew Fest will happen on Saturday afternoon on the 8,000 square-foot ocean-front deck at SurfSide5, a few feet from the music hall.

On Saturday night, hours before it turns into a church, the Blue Ocean Music Hall will feature Frankenreiter, a California-based singer/songwriter and pro surfer.

Boria thinks he can compete.

“I speak in a contemporary voice,” he said. Using videos, the Internet and current music, he said he tries to be relevant to the modern culture.

“Th at sets us apart,” Boria said. “Th e message is the same. We can't improve on that.”

Initially when Saab approached the music hall executives about the idea of holding church services there, they were cool to the idea, he said. But a few months later, they told them they had reconsidered and would like to test the waters to see if church services at the beach might work.

Th e rental on the space does not come cheap. Boria said he is content to pay the rental. But after he brings in a crowd for the 9:30 a.m. service and they stay to buy Sunday brunch at the Seaglass Restaurant in the same building that also houses the music hall, he believes the music hall owners may be willing to renegotiate.

WERE THEY THINKING?On Th ursday, July 12 at 6:30 the Seabrook Library, in partnership with the NH Humanities Council, will present a timely program, Th e Founding Fathers: What Were Th ey Th inking? In 1787 delegates gathered in Philadelphia to address a wide variety of crises facing the young United States of America and produced a charter for a new government. In modern times, competing political and legal claims are frequently based on what those intended. Mythology about the founders and their work at the 1787 Convention has obscured both fact and legitimate analysis of the events leading to the agreement called the Constitution. Th is program explores the cast of characters called “founders,” the problems they faced and the solutions they fashioned. Th e presenter is Richard A. Hesse, Professor Emeritus, UNH School of Law, who has published on a wide variety of legal and ethical topics. Th e program is free and open to the public, with light refreshments served.BEATLES TRIBUTE BAND TO PLAY AT CASTLE HILLNew England’s premiere Beatles tribute band HELP! will perform at Castle Hill, 290 Argilla Road, Ipswich on Th ursday, July 12th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Bring the family and a picnic and enjoy some of the best rock and roll tunes ever written.

For the rest of us who don’t live in Cleveland, or read the Cleveland Plain Dealer on-line, we got our story from the national news media. All I heard was that dental x-rays cause brain tumors. As a consumer and someone concerned about my health it raised an eyebrow. As a dentist I knew there was more to the story.

Here are the facts as presented by Dr. Messina:

How common are the brain tumors? (Six per 100,000) How did the researchers find a link between dental x-rays and brain tumors? (They asked people with brain tumors to remember how many x-rays they had over their lifetime) Is there a problem with this type of study? (Yes, it'’ called “recall bias”) Are dental x-rays different today than they were even 10 years ago? (Yes, the amount of radiation in current dental radiography is dramatically less than in years past) What should patients do with this information? (Talk to their dentist about any concerns so that their dentist can give them accurate information and reassure them)

While there is strong evidence that ionizing radiation may cause cancer, the question remains whether low doses lead to an increase in risk. Regarding dental x-rays, the effective dose is far below the yearly exposure received from natural background radiation. In the case of brain tumors, the cerebral

Media Spin on Dental X-rays(brain) region is not even in the primary radiation field of most dental x-rays. This was not even considered in the study.

Where do we go from here? If you are in the approximately 50% of the population that does not see a dentist on a regular basis, this information does not mean that much. If you are in the other 50% that understand that oral health means so much more than having your teeth cleaned or a tooth filled, I would recommend the ALARA rule (as low as reasonably achievable). Dental radiographs are a safe, essential and effective tool in identifying dental decay, gum disease, pathology, as well as monitoring proper growth and development.

As a society it is my hope that we are willing to move past the skimming of all the information that is available to us and ask questions when things relate to us. We (dentists) as a profession will continue to work towards educating our patients and providing the safest, most effective care.

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

For the past couple of months, every dentist in the United States has had to deal (in some form or another) with the story on the front page of the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper entitled, “Dental X-rays Linked to Brain Tumors in Yale Study”. The story made national headlines, and why wouldn’t it with a title like that?

The reporter did publish excerpts from a meeting with ADA (American Dental Association) spokesperson Matthew J. Messina, DDS to get the dental communities’ perspective; however that was published on page A-4. As Dr. Messina explained, “Like a courtroom trial, the prosecution went first. Page 1 included the first six paragraphs of the article. The ADA’s defense was well presented, but after the ‘jump’ to page A-4. It required that a person be committed enough to understanding the story, to be willing to actually open the paper and read the article to the end. And that is one of the problems that ‘we’ will always face as a profession.”

Under All Is The Land

Despite the tidal wave of change and unrest in our market that has saturated the news media, there are five words upon which I reflect to keep my focus on what matters. "Under all is the land." These words are the first words in the PREAMBLE to the REALTOR Code of Ethics. It is a most appropriate time to share the history of our Code with anyone who may benefit from a reminder of what remains an unwavering truth during these tumultuous times.

Without exception and throughout all time, the very survival of any civilization has been inextricably linked to land ownership and its usage. Whether the land was used for farming, adequate housing or the development of whole cities or industries, it is as true today as it was centuries ago that our nation and all of our citizenry depend upon how we buy, sell and use our land.

So fundamental to our survival as a civilization is the usage of land, that REALTORS® are held to the highest standard of care under the law, that of a FIDUCIARY. One who owes a Fiduciary Duty to another is in a position of trust and is obligated under the law to operate in the best interests of the client who hired him or her. That Fiduciary Relationship is a matter of national security when it comes to real estate.

The REALTOR® owes the client undivided loyalty, utmost care, disclosure, obedience to lawful instruction, confidentiality and

accountability.The buying and selling of real estate,

unlike that of ordinary commerce, imposes what our PREAMBLE refers to as "grave social responsibility and a patriotic duty to which REALTORS® should dedicate themselves and for which they should be diligent in preparing themselves." If the words "grave social responsibility" or "patriotic duty" sound a bit over the top, consider what is happening all around you right now.

Had the industries that colluded to pillage our housing market over the past several years practiced with the same level of care as is required by the REALTOR®'s Code of Ethics, there would be no need for the Stimulus Plan and the word "bailout" would not be finding its way into our daily vernacular. That is how profound the expression "under all is the land" truly is. It is as profound as is the responsibility each REALTOR® has every time he/she holds the keys to your home or helps you find the keys to your new home.

Last night two young first time homebuyers sat in my office as I prepared an offer for them on a home they never thought they could own. Their hands were wringing. Their eyes were wide. They hung on every word. I am always aware and constantly reminded of the awesome responsibility that a REALTOR® assumes as a trusted advisor. Just as this article went to print, these young first time homebuyers' offer was accepted and their feet have not touched the ground. They are among the enormous group of buyers who will buy down the enormous inventory and unclog the pipe in our economy.

Despite some underhanded politicians, the under the table dealings, the under the radar Wall Street products that sent our market under the covers, UNDER ALL IS THE LAND. As long as there is land, there will be the National Association of REALTOR®s
