Plum Island Erosion Discussed

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter

NEWBURYPORT – For

Dr. Christopher Hein,

Plum Island presents a

complex, but fun problem

to understand. He has

been studying the barrier

island at the mouth of the

Merrimack River since he

was a doctoral student at

Boston University.

Now an associate

professor at the Virginia

Institute of Marine Science,

the Graduate School of

Marine Science at William

and Mary College, Hein

is coming here to give a comprehensive

analysis, complete with old maps, to show

the causes of erosion along Reservation

Terrace on the northern tip of the island.

His presentation, sponsored by the

Storm Surge organization, will be held at

6:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 27, at the Senior/

Community Center, 331 High St.

“Take a break from the holidays and

join us for what will be a fascinating

discussion about the future of the island,

with an expert who has studied Plum

Island’s history of growth and erosion,

with an emphasis on the time period from

the installation of the jetties through to

the 2019 erosion on Reservation Terrace,”

stated the invitation from Storm Surge.

Between 2013 and 2017, Hein led a team

of scientists from across the East Coast in

a study of Plum Island’s history of growth

and erosion, funded by the National

Science Foundation. His study shows the

linkage between human intervention and

the formation of the island. One example

is the link between the jetty repair and the

erosion along Reservation Terrace.

“The study was very conclusive,” Hein

was quoted by Storm Surge. “Fixing

the jetty starved Reservation Terrace of

sand.”

In an interview in advance of his return

to Newburyport, Hein told The Town

Common, “Plum Island is incredible.

Unlike most barrier islands, it almost

does not move. It really has not changed

in probably 3,000 to 4,000 years,”

In Virginia, barrier islands move about

15 feet per year toward the mainland.

The reason Plum Island does not move

is the large amount of sediment that is

brought down from the White Mountains

in New Hampshire by the powerful

Merrimack River, Hein said.

If a storm takes away sand from Plum

Island, the river quickly replenishes it.

The key word in Hein’s statement about

Plum Island’s stability is – almost.

According to his study of old maps of

the island, the northern section of the

island did not exist 150 years ago. Sand

on the northern part of the island was

constantly being deposited and removed

by the river and the ocean.

What changed was the U.S. Corps

of Engineers decades ago built the rock

jetties to make navigation through the

mouth of the river less treacherous. The

jetties also created a more stable northern

part of the island, he said.

Mead Growing In Popularity

By Stewart Lytle, Reporter

–––––––––––––––––

REGIONAL – When mead, the

alcoholic drink, is mentioned, the

image conjured up is probably from

the Middle Ages, some guy wearing fur

skins, drinking from a large goblet in

a hall surrounded by drunk Norsemen

or King Arthur’s men.

Given that mead is the oldest

alcoholic beverage on the planet,

that makes sense. But it is now being

swigged on a regular basis by people

who look like your neighbors.

Amid the popularity of craft beer and

wines, mead is making a return. Four

meaderies have established themselves

in Massachusetts, including two here

on the North Shore.

In the Newburyport Business

Dan Clapp among his bottles of mead

Park, House Bear Brewing, at 3 Graf

Rd., and 1634 Meadery at 3 Short St. in

Ipswich are producing mead daily. They

are selling their meads in liquor stores,

a few restaurants and bars and farmers’

markets.

Six years ago there were 60 meaderies in

the U.S. Now there are 380, making mead

he fastest growing alcohol drink, faster

than wine and craft beer. But vineyards

and craft beer breweries needn’t worry.

“It is still a niche market,” said Dan

Clapp, who has been operating 1634

Meadery since 2015.

When Clapp opened his meadery in

Ipswich, 75 to 80 percent of customers

had never heard of mead before they tasted

one. Now that number is down to 25

percent. He has built a following of about

150 ardent mead-drinkers, which he calls

his clan. They get advance notice of new

meads.

Harry Potter books and movies.

Mead traces its history to northern

China 9,000 years ago. It became a

popular drink across Europe and is

mentioned in such epic historic poems as

Beowolf. The Norsemen built a culture

on mead, drinking the alcoholic beverage

on land and sea. And many monasteries

kept up the traditions of mead-making as

a byproduct of beekeeping.

Mead is simple, created by fermenting

honey with water, which explains why

it is sometimes called honey wine. The

alcoholic content ranges from as low as 3

percent to more than 20 percent. Barrels

of mead take a month to ferment and five

months to age, so meaderies are already

producing and creating new meads for

next summer.

To clear up any confusion, mead is

neither wine nor beer. There is no foamy

Clapp attributes mead’s growing head like beer. Retailers, not sure what to

popularity and awareness to the television

series Game of Thornes, although most of

the characters drink wine. But mead was

drunk in the 2010 movie Robin Hood

with Russell Crowe and referenced in the

do with mead, are stocking it next to the

ciders. But it is not cider either.

It sells in the range of $20 to $25 a

bottle.

Yes, Virginia There is a Santa Claus

Dear Readers of The Town Common,

community by creating and operating The Town Common. We have

overcome many obstacles, shared in many wonderful stories, participated

in many local events, and have always enjoyed providing a valuable

community service.

This season I wish everyone the happiest of holidays and thank all our

loyal readers, advertisers and friends for helping us become and stay a

welcome part of the community. We look forward to serving you for

many more years to come.

A tradition for our newspaper has been to run the following column

each Christmas season. Enjoy.

Sincerely,

Marc Maravalli, Publisher/Editor

The Town Common

Eight-year-old Virginia

O'Hanlon wrote a letter to the

editor of New York's Sun, and

the quick response was printed

as an unsigned editorial Sept.

21, 1897. The work of veteran

newsman Francis Pharcellus

Church has since become

history's most reprinted

newspaper editorial, appearing

in part or whole in dozens of

languages in books, movies,

and other editorials, and on

posters and stamps.

Dear Editor:

I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no

Santa Claus. Papa says, 'If you see it in THE SUN it's so.' Please tell

me the truth; is there a Santa Claus?

Virginia O'Hanlon.

115 West Ninety-Fifth St

Virginia,

Your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the

skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they

see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible

by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's

or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere

insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world

about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the

whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love

and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound

and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would

be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if

there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no

poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have

no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which

childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies!

You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys

on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not

see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees

Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The

most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men

can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not,

but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive

or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the

world.

You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise

inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the

strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest

men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry,

love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the

supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all

this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives, and he lives forever. A

thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years

from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Mead, made with a variety of

honeys, can be thick and sweet,

but they can be thin and not so

sweet. At 1634 Meadery, Clapp

uses clover honey, orange blossom

honey and wild flower honey.

Adding locally grown fruits and

spices is where the fun is. It is also

where the creativity comes in,

along with naming the meads.

Two new meads at 1634

Meadery are Little Jack Horner,

a plum mead, using Cider Hill

Farm plums. This after-dinner

sipper has a high alcohol content,

Clapp said. There is also a new

Minuteman mead, created from

a recipe in the 1678 English

Book of Drink. It has raspberries,

grains of paradise, cloves and

cinnamon.

“That’s going to be a fun one,”

Clapp said.

Beth Borges and Carl Hirshfeld

opened House Bear Brewing in

2013 in Amesbury. Borges had

experimented with mead making

during her Babson College days

and decided to try producing

mead when she found a career in

financial services a bit tedious.

Continued from page 1

“Humans were fooled into

thinking the northern part of the

island is more stable than it really

is,” Hein said. “They built houses

that are now valuable.”

Hein said there is a multitude

of things impacting Plum Island.

“No one thing is causing the

erosion,” he said.

According to Storm Surge,

“Erosion problems are nothing

new to the island, where six

homes were destroyed during

three major storms in the

winter of 2012-2013. Various

interventions have been made to

try to mitigate erosion problems,

She was winning awards for her

mead even before the doors to the

meadery even opened.

Clapp opened 1634 Meadery

in a former motorcycle repair

shop, across from a Dunkin’

Donuts on Rte. 1A. He did not

want to name it Ipswich Mead

to avoid confusion with the wellestablished

Ipswich Ale. A friend

suggested using 1634, the date

Ipswich was founded, to give the

meadery the historic flavor he

was seeking.

An ocean engineer, Clapp

discovered mead during a family

genealogy trip to Denmark with

his aunt. His wife, Deb, a school

teacher, was not particularly

excited by mead, but she

encouraged him to follow his

passion. He found mead “cool,

different and exciting,” he said.

From a torn-down barn in

Maine he collected wood to

redecorate the motorcycle repair

shop in an old-world style. He

started researching old recipes

and stories that might be used to

give his meads a special cache. He

designed his bottles to look old

and nothing like a wine bottle.

including the rebuilding of the

south jetty in May 2013 by the

Army Corps of Engineers, the

construction of dunes along

Reservation Terrace by DCR (the

state Department of Conservation

Resources) in 2016 and the

creation of a man-made berm of

compressed sand, financed by the

City of Newburyport and Plum

Island residents in 2018. In spite

of these measures, what often

helps some residents salvage their

homes often threatens others.”

Hein credited Storm Surge’s

Mike Morris with figuring out

that there is a “see saw effect” with

the sand. The sand that is not

Stop at the meaderies for a taste

and listen to the stories behind

their products. At 1634 Meadery,

Clapp has meads that bear such

names as Puritan Pride, a mead

that pairs well, he said, with

seafood and lobster.

He named one mead Wicked

Wench, a semi-sweet traditional

mead made with Northshore

wildflower honey. And he

named at least two for relatives.

His Beewitched Mead is named

for Elizabeth Howe, his ninth

generation aunt, who was tried

for witchcraft. The Choate Bridge

Cyser honors an uncle who

helped built the iconic bridge

over the Ipswich River.

And then there is the

pirate who lured ships to

their destruction on Plum Island

convicted of plundering the ships

leave time for questions and

discussion about his findings.

Newburyport - December and January recycling drop-off and disposal of Christmas Trees

Trash and recycling collection routes for Wednesdays through Fridays will be delayed by one day during the weeks of

December 23 and December 30. For those whose usual day for trash and/or recycling is Wednesday, collection will be Thursday,

December 26 and Thursday, January 2; and routes normally done on Thursdays will be pushed to Friday. Friday routes will be

picked up on Saturday, except for the downtown district, which will have their usual pick-up early Friday morning.

The Recycling Center will be open on Saturday, January 4, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. It is open on most Mondays and

Thursdays, as well, from 12:15 p.m. to 2:15 p.m but is weather dependent. Please call the Health Department at 978-465-

4410 to confirm it is open.

Items that you can drop off include white packing Styrofoam, anything with a cord or batteries, rechargeable batteries, lithium

batteries, button cell batteries, cords, fluorescent bulbs, bicycles, appliances (large and small), tires, anything that is mostly

metal (including grills, lawn mowers, patio tables/chairs, file cabinets, pots, pans), antifreeze, motor oil, and cooking oil.

The Town Common

Some items have fees for drop-off. They include TVs, monitors, printers, VCRs, DVD players, dehumidifiers, ACs, tires,

microwaves, and large kitchen and laundry appliances.

Regarding Christmas tree disposal –if you put your Christmas tree at the curb by Thursday, January 16, Newburyport will

save considerably on the cost of disposal, and the Newbury Volunteer Fire Department will benefit. G. Mello, the City’s trash

and recycling haulers, will take the trees to the Tendercrop growing fields to be used in the Old Newbury Fire Department’s DOUGLAS SHEALY, D.D.S. and

annual fundraiser Bonfire https://www.facebook.com/events/481670362451590/. This is a win-win situation in that the City

won’t have to pay for the trees to be hauled to the incinerator in North Andover.

RicHARD SELtEnRicH, D.M.D.

Please do not bag the trees and remove bases, tinsel and lights.

After January 19, G. Mello trucks will collect Christmas trees along with the trash. They will continue that service through

Discovering the Ultimate Hidden, Scenic Dining

Spot at the Newburyport Lighthouse

Why this special occasions destination is beacons above a typical dining experience

Article by Eric Hurwitz, @newenglandinfo. Story created on 11/12/2019.

Imagine climbing 55 winding stairs and

a six-foot ladder through a narrow hatch, en

route to an eight-foot in diameter room at the

top of a lighthouse to experience an unforgettable

romantic meal with a view.

The Rear Range Lighthouse -- also

known as Newburyport Lighthouse -- in

Newburyport, Mass. offers exactly that with

its dining room affording spectacular 360

degree panoramic views of the ocean, quaint

downtown Newburyport and the Merrimack

River Valley. Initially started in 1999 as a fundraiser

to support The Lighthouse Preservation

Society, the dining room at the Newburyport

Lighthouse is so popular that it is often booked

for months in advance. It’s also the only lighthouse

in the United States and possibly the

world that offers a dining out experience at the

top, according to Jay Hyland, president of The

Lighthouse Preservation Society.

As lighthouses historically stand out as

beacons of strength, security and solitude, so

does the dining experience at the Rear Range

Lighthouse. It’s just you and your significant

other snugly situated in this tiny private glassenclosed

room most popular for proposals,

anniversaries and birthday celebrations (there

have also been some very small weddings

here). Unless claustrophobic or acrophobic,

the sweat equity built by arriving at the top

of the lighthouse surely reveals one of the best

milestone event destination investments in all

of New England.

“It’s like a walk-in closet but with million

dollar views,” said Hyland. “It is very relaxing

up here. People are satisfied and have that

Cheshire Cat grin.”

Diners make a $350 donation to support

The Lighthouse Preservation Society and

access the dining room for up to five-and-ahalf

hours. Customers get to choose a romantic

meal at the top of the lighthouse from one of

several local restaurants. This can be done by

making a reservation ahead of time. Angie’s

Food provides breakfast and brunch. Loretta

(regional American fare), Brown Sugar by

the Sea (traditional Thai Cuisine) and the

Starboard Galley (fresh local seafood) offer

lunch and dinner. The Mission Oak Grill

(high-end steakhouse, seafood specialties), and

Glenn’s Food & Libations (eclectic cuisine,

tapas) focus primarily on serving dinner. The

cost of the meals are extra from the donation

but at standard restaurant menu prices.

The five stories to the top have revealed

countless chapters of memories amongst those

experiencing dining at the lighthouse. So many

stories, in fact, that customers have written

about their unforgettable experiences in several

logs (next to the stereo and music selections)

perched above the dining room table...

Music and memories.

“One guy hired an airplane with a sign

‘Will you marry me?’” said Hyland. “He also

hired a limo and brought two dozen roses. She

wasn’t going to say no.”

There’s even a balcony for more unobstructed

views and once in a while some magical

colors in the skies...

“Another guy in his mid-20s was concerned

about the weather,” said Hyland. “I said to

him that in the summer you get to see short

(weather) systems go through and not to be

concerned. Plus, the weather patterns can

look very interesting from the top of the lighthouse.

I convinced him to go through with it.

Wouldn’t you know, there was a full rainbow

from end to end!”

The experience starts out with a greeting

by wait staff at the base of the narrow lighthouse

and then a brief pre-meal workout up

the stairs.

Starting the climb to the top of the lighthouse.

Steep, narrow staircase, but ultimately certainly

worth the effort...

A few significant others have the common

nervous anxiety before proposing but also with

no build-up to popping the big question. The

dining room and views are so nice, why wait?

“Lots of guys are nervous, getting ready

to propose,” said Hyland. “One such person

proposed the very moment he got up here. He

couldn’t wait!”

The beauty of the area in one of New

England’s most impressive seaport cities can be

seen at the top of the lighthouse whether water

views... or a scene of downtown Newburyport

that looks like a toy village...

Charming Newburyport.

Yankee Magazine calls dining at the

Newburyport Lighthouse as “One of the

top 35 destinations to make the ‘ultimate

to-do list for New England Travelers.’” The

Phantom Gourmet billed it “Most Romantic

and Exclusive Dining.” Fox 25 Boston said

of the dining there, “The most private and

exclusive dining space in New England.” And

Northshore Magazine stated in its review, “

Most romantic dining.” Chronicle on WCVB-

TV Channel 5 featured a wonderful segment

on the lighthouse dining experience in

Newburyport.

“We have a lot of locals come here but also

from around the world -- Japan, South Africa,

India, England,” said Hyland. “People find us

through word-of-mouth, through the Internet

or media.”

How the Dining Room at Rear Range

Lighthouse Started

Built in 1873, the Newburyport Harbor

Rear Range Lighthouse worked in tandem

with the Front Range Lighthouse 50 yards

away to helps ships and boats navigate correctly

into the area. Moving forward to 1961,

both lighthouses were decommissioned and

the Rear Range Light was sold to a private

party. Hyland remembers that many years

later local developer David Hall, whose father

owned the lighthouse, enthused about “having

lunch at the top.” The lighthouse bulb went

on over Hyland’s head and he asked Hall if he

could run the lighthouse as a dining out spot.

Hall agreed, and a new light in the form of a

dining out spot suddenly shone well above sea

level in Newburyport. The lighthouse has also

been repaired and repainted through the years

to keep things in excellent condition.

Hyland’s family supported his decision to

open the dining spot.

“When telling my wife, she said that anything

that brought in money was a good idea

as we didn’t have much,” said Hyland, with a

laugh. “Everything worked out well. Dining

here got more popular, I’d say about 15 years

ago. The rise of the Internet and social media

definitely helped.”

The Newburyport Lighthouse dining out

concept reflects well upon Hyland’s overall

passion for lighthouses. Hyland’s mission with

The Lighthouse Preservation Society is to

make lighthouse preservation and its heritage

a national issue. in the process, the Toledo,

Ohio, native has played an important role in

lighthouse history.

He has spearheaded a national effort to save

America’s lighthouses, aiding in the creation

of the National Lighthouse Preservatioon Act.

Hyland successfully lobbied for a congressional

hearing in the 1980s, leading to a

Coast Guard policy review. A recipient of

the Presidential Achievement Award from the

Federal Government to preserve lighthouse

heritage, The Lighthouse Preservation Society

has been involved in more Congressional hearings

as well as conferences, the sponsorship of

National Lighthouse Day and its celebrations,

the nomination of 30 U.S. lighthouse stamps,

and the raising of nearly $6 million for more

than 160 lighthouse projects.

Hyland holds a Bachelors Degree in communications

from Purdue University in West

Lafayette, Ind., and a Masters of Divinity

degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological

Seminary College in Hamilton, Mass. He

is currently enrolled in a doctorate program

at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in

church history. Now living in Dover, N.H,

Hyland looks at his involvement with lighthouses

-- including the dining room destination

at Rear Range Lighthouse -- as a blessing.

“God gave us a passion for things,” said

Hyland. “The scriptures say to commit your

way to the Lord and trust in him... This is

what I love doing.”

Conclusion

The perfect place for a special occasion.

Preservation Society.

Big-time enjoyment surely comes from

what could be the smallest restaurant in New

England. While the padded benches, dining

table, music and a climate control system lend

comfort, it’s ultimately the incredible views,

outstanding food and one-of-a-kind destination

presence that make dining at the Rear

Range Lighthouse a must-try when visiting, or

living in New England. Plus, the Rear Range

Lighthouse is located just a few minute’s walk

from the heart of downtown Newburyport

with its beautiful Federalist-style architecture,

shops and restaurants. Newburyport,

the smallest city in Massachusetts, is definitely

one of New England travel gems. Just make

sure that the restaurant part of that visit

to Newburyport leads to the Newburyport

Lighthouse!

At 68-years-old, Hyland has no plans to

retire -- great news for those coming back to

dine at the Rear Range Lighthouse or firsttimers.

“You can’t retire when running a nonprofit,”

said Hyland with a smile. “And I continue

to enjoy doing this!”

Compliments of:



Health & Wellness

BY J. PETER ST. CLAIR, DMD

Last week I discussed the

importance of communication in any

relationship, specifically the healthcare

provider/patient relationship. Trust

is mutually built as this relationship

develops over time.

“There’s not enough time in the

day.” Have you ever used this excuse? I

said this yesterday to someone. We all

tend to waste a lot of time, or at least

don’t use the time we have as effectively

as we could. You would think that in

our technology-filled world, time

management would be easier. Some

of this technology actually gets in the

way by adding even more of a time

commitment to things that reduce

interpersonal communication.

Here’s an example. It’s time to buy

a new car. There are many different

car brands and within those brands

are many models. No matter what

dealership you go to, they will gather

a minute amount of information

about you, or maybe none at all, but

guaranteed, they have a car on their

showroom floor that they tell you is

Brighter Smiles...

PROVIDER RELATIONSHIPS – PART 2

the right car for you. They will spend

a countless amount of time talking

about the many new features that their

brand has, and the options between

different models. If the salesman

worked for a different brand, or if you

went to a different dealership, you

would hear the same reasons why that

brand is right for you. Their goal is to

sell you a car.

If you went into a dental office and

the dentist spent all their time talking

about their array of technological

gadgets and how they were right for

you, how would you feel? If you went

to a different office and that dentist

had a different set of gadgets, they

have a bias as to why theirs are right

for you. You would feel like you were

trying to be “sold” something.

Branding draws us in. You may

have a preconceived notion that a

particular make of car is what you

“need”, or see a dental advertisement

that attracts your attention.

It doesn’t take much to realize that

there are many different brands of

anything that would satisfy our needs.

Whether it is a car or teeth, there

are often gaps between the “seller” and

the “buyer”. There is a gap between

what we really need and what we

think we need. There is another gap

between what the dentist or salesman

thinks we need and what we think we

need. And, more specifically, there is

often a serious gap between the value

some dentists have, and the value they

feel they can discuss with patients.

Sometimes we feel we don’t have the

time to discuss these things, and other

times we are afraid we will scare you

away.

Dentistry offers people so much

that they want and need. Why don’t

people get it? What would permit

someone to have this resource

available, and fail to use it? What

would cause them to misunderstand it

so thoroughly that they fear it more

than they fear the consequences of not

collaborating with a dentist?

Dentists need to communicate

facts and truths. They need to

convey expertise and enthusiasm.

This goes back to the idea of time I

have mentioned so often in the past.

Dentists need to spend time with

patients, not hard-sell with little

information, and let the patient

decide what the best line of treatment

is for them.

Dr. St. Clair maintains a private

dental practice in Rowley and
