Great View! Great Food! Lets HaVe a Great FaLL and winter!!!
Book your Holiday Parties now! (603) 760-7500
HAPPY HOUR 4:00 P .M. TO 7:00 P .M. DRINK AND APPETIZERS SPECIALS THURSDAY ITALIAN NIGHT FRIDAY NIGHT ALL YOU EAT FISH & CHIPS SATURDAY NIGHT PRIME RIB DINNER SUNDAY NFL (BURGERS, WINGS, NACHOS, ETC.)/DRINK SPECIALS
Call it honoring the locals. For the first time, Castaways Seafood & Grille in Seabrook will stay open past Columbus Day, giving area residents a chance to take in the panoramic harbor views and have a great dining experience outside of the tourist season. We want to give back to our locals what the tourists
experience during the summer season, said Ted Mountzuris, co-owner of Castaways with John Dussi. Waiting in line can be a challenging experience, so by being open in the fall and winter, it gives our local patrons an opportunity to relax. In its fifth season, Castaways new hours on Thursdays through Sundays are a first step toward turning the restaurant from a seasonal
business into a destination, Mountzuris said. Facing the inlet on Ocean Boulevard, Route 1A, it is marketed as your local island getaway, with scenery that Mountzuris said is reminiscent of a fishing village in the Greek islands than Seabrook. Two large decks, known as The Views, will remain open as long as people desire to enjoy their meal outside in the comfort of
several heaters. And so will the fire pits, burning only steps away from the water. Bring a sweater, toast marshmallows, watch the sunset and enjoy the stars, Mountzuris said. Theres no rush after you eat. The fall and winter menu features a string of crowd pleasers such as crab cakes, calamari, broiled scallops, seafood risotto and shrimp Florentine. Guests can also choose from salads, soups, sandwiches and comfort
food. And, of course, we offer fried seafood; it all depends on what youre in the mood for, Mountzuris said. We are everything, from exquisite cuisine to a great piece of fried fish. Each day brings its own special in addition to the regular menu. Italian Night means it is Thursday, allyou-can-eat fish and chips equals Fridays, prime rib deals occur on Saturdays, and Sundays are all about
NFL treats. Several new TVs have been purchased to draw football fans. The owners envision ending the year with a New Years party before closing for the winter. Im excited about it, Mountzuris said about the new focus. Why drive to Boston when you have a destination like Castaways in the Seacoast where you can have a great meal, good music and a beautiful view right here and relax.

Possessed with a passion for antiques, co-owners of Hampton Falls newest antique shop, Antiques at Edgerly Farm, Keith Thompson and David OBara, both 49, are weathering their first year in business together and it seems to be a thing of beauty. Things are going pretty well, said Thompson. Just about every two or four weeks is when I do the checks and weve been growing, not by leaps and bounds, but we are increasing.
start fixing up their houses and they want to switch things out. As the leaves begin turning colors and the peepers follow, Thompson and OBara will have their work cut out for them. Were happy, said Thompson. At first we wondered what the hell did we do? But were glad we did it. Right now were trying to get in all the furniture because this is the season for it. We have some really nice drop-leaf dining sets. Were trying to get a couple of our nice dressers and those kind of things. Thats what were trying to do because this is the season for it.

Ann Ormond, Chamber President, Terry Thompson, Finance and Information Systems Manager, Julie Malone, Marketing Coordinator, Anne Wilt, Membership Associate, Brianne Records, Special Events and Tourism Coordinator and Patty St. John, Vice President of Membership Development.
Q. Which of the many wonderful yearlong events in town does the Chamber produce? A. A few of the many include our upcoming Oktoberfest this Saturday, the Riverfront Festival, the summer outdoor Movie Nights, the Great Pumpkin Lighting and Witches Night Out, the Spring Fest, Fall Harvest Festival and Scarecrow Competition, Invitation Nights, and Santas Workshop. By default, the Chamber serves as the tourism arm of the city. We spend marketing dollars on print, radio, video, social media, etc ... to bring people into this city to play, shop and dine. FYI, the Chamber does not produce Yankee Homecoming as many people think. They are a separate nonprofit run by throngs of volunteers. Q. Newburyport is a beautiful place to live and the envy of the country. What role does the Chamber play in that impressive distinction? A. The Chamber is responsible for the floral hanging baskets, cornstalks and pumpkins in Market Square, the tree and greenery around the lampposts at holiday time. These beautification efforts attract thousands of visitors from all over the world all four seasons of the year! The Chamber is proud to say we were the 2004 and 2005 Champions of the America in Blooms national contest for the most beautiful city. Q. How does the Chamber work with the city? A. The Chamber is not affiliated with the city, but we do have a wonderful working relationship with them. We partner on many initiatives including current efforts to be designated an official Cultural District, the green community initiative and the recently earned designation as an Official Coast Guard City. Q. Why should someone join the Chamber? A. Well, of course, we believe every organization should join and be a member of the Chamber just like The Daily News is! A few
of the many reasons include networking and building professional and personal connections, increasing visibility for your business, referrals, marketing opportunities, information and updates on important local issues, easy access to our elected officials. Equally important, by joining the Chamber, it is a show of support and appreciation for the beauty and vitality of our fair city, the city in which many have chosen to work and live. Finally, our Chamber is only as strong as our members. We exist to serve the needs of our members, our community. And we do it every single day with enthusiasm and great pride!

Anchor Anna Jaques Pizza is among the offerings at Anchor Stone Deck Pizza in Newburyport.
Each morning at the Anchor begins the same way. At 8 a.m., a 50-pound bag of flour is poured into the 60-quart Hobart mixer a 900-pound behemoth. The massive dough hook starts its rhythmic churn, and the morning is officially underway. At 8:30 a.m., the produce delivery arrives, bringing cases of fresh mushrooms, summer squash and tomatoes, along with bunches of fresh basil and scallions. More than 100 pounds of tomato filets and diced tomatoes are set aside to make the signature Anchor pizza sauce. By 9:30 a.m., the dough is starting to rise, 20 heads of Romaine have been washed and cut, and the basil chiffonade parade begins. We take a lot of pride in what we do and how we do it, says Mark Tramontana, the owner of Anchor Stone Deck Pizza. Its very laborintensive. We could have cut corners used frozen dough balls, or a sauce thats pre-made in a factory somewhere. But our goal is to make the best pizza we possibly can, and it starts with your ingredients. As they say, you cant make good wine from bad grapes. Anchors from scratch kitchen ensures that its food is being made the same way you would do it at home (if we pretend that youre cutting Chinese eggplant on a bias at 8 a.m.). At a time when the public is focusing more and more attention on the quality and integrity of the food they purchase for their own kitchens, Tramontana is encouraging folks to cast a similar eye toward their choices when dining out or ordering out. Fresh ingredients and scratch cooking make a world of difference, Tramontana notes. A fresh pepper received this morning and cut today tastes 10 times better than one thats been sliced, sealed, shipped and stored for days. Folks should know whats going into their food, and ordering out shouldnt mean that you compromise on quality. After terminating its relationship with the beleaguered Upper Crust chain, the Anchor had to change all of its recipes and the Anchor staff embraced the opportunity. The new sauce and dough recipes, which debuted in April, have been very well-received. The new Anchor menu includes specialty pizzas named after Newburyport landmarks and the Tramontanas three boys. It also used the changeover as an opportunity to lower many of the pre-Anchor prices, on everything from drinks and salads to pizzas and toppings. Despite the fact that many of the recipe upgrades led to higher-cost ingredients, Tramontana felt that it was simply the right thing to do. There are a dozen pizza places in Newburyport. With the change to Anchor, we made a commitment to focus on quality and freshness. Lowering prices was basically a thank you to folks for standing by us through some challenging times, Tramontana notes. As long as that big old Hobart keeps mixing, were in good shape.

For Dr. Laura Anne Potvin, eye care has been a lifelong passion
By Jim Sullivan
Correspondent
If you find yourself in the Groveland area and see someone holding your gaze much too long, have no fear, its probably Dr. Laura Anne Potvin of Dr. Laura Anne Potvin, P.C.-Optometrists. I remember being in Jordan Marsh when I was little and there was a woman who had cataract lenses, said Dr. Potvin. They magnified her eyes so much that I was just mesmerized by them. She looked at me and said, What are you looking at? And I was like, Oops! Eyes and the care of them have been the family business as far back asDr. Potvin can remember. Its something I saw my father doing all of his life and I grew up in his back room and in his lab when he used to examine patients, remembered Dr. Potvin. So, when I was in school, I said I was going to give it a try and I did. And I ended up loving it. A graduate of the New England College of Optometry, Dr. Potvin took over her father, Dr. Bernard S. Potvins, Main Street practice in 1988. Things have gone well enough over the years to necessitate a move to new offices on Salem Street this past August. We definitely outgrew the space we had, Dr. Potvin said. And we definitely needed better parking. Now we have better parking and we have a lot more space that accommodates all our different interests for the care that we offer. We only had to close for two days, the office wascompletely moved and we opened like we never closed our doors. Its kind of cool. With four other eye doctors in the office, Dr. Potvin said Dr. Laura Anne Potvin, P.C.- Optometrists has been offering comprehensive care for the entire family

Mark Foglietta fell in love with carpet at the age of 13. I was helping a family friend do some work, and I saw a carpet seam disappear. Ive been obsessed with doing it right ever since, he said, surrounded by carpet, tile and wood floor samples in his well-appointed Groveland shop, Elm Park Flooring, which he owns with business partner and girlfriend, Julie Schuck. Julie and I have 30 years of experience each and dreamed of opening our own store, Foglietta said. One day we were driving over the Groveland Bridge from Haverhill just after the Mothers Day flood, and Julie said shed like us to open our own store, but it would have to be in a unique house-like building. As soon as she said that, we looked up and saw the for rent sign here. The next day we wrote a check, and seven years later, were still thriving. Personalized service and educating consumers is the goal of Foglietta and Schuck, which is why they take the time to do a complete inventory of a customers needs, then travel to homes with samples in order to give people exactly what will work for each individual lifestyle. I ask customers several questions before we even start, Schuck said. How is a certain room used? How many people and pets live in the house? What do you have now, and how is it working for you? What colors do you like? After the interview Schuck and Foglietta work together to come up with a variety of options to bring to people for their perusal. People can shop at home for what they want, said Foglietta, who encourages customers to keep samples for a couple of days to see what the colors will look like in different light and to take any pressure off of the decisionmaking process.
Mark Foglietta, left, and Julie Schuck own Elm Park Flooring.
A misconception many people have is that local businesses are more expensive that big box stores or large chains that advertise on television. Our prices are actually very reasonable, Schuck said. We did a job recently where we gave a customer a higher quality pad and carpet for less than she was quoted at a big box store. The customer was thrilled that she was able to support a local business while still saving money. Elm Park Flooring also offers free consults, measuring, furniture moving and upstairs installation. Another misconception is that the job will take a longer amount of time to complete. We can do next-day installation of flooring. A more custom order could take a week or so, but we have a quick turn-around and deliveries coming twice a week, said Foglietta, who has the distinction of being the only carpet installer from New York to Maine with the Natural Fiber Installation Certification. Foglietta and Schuck carry a huge inventory of flooring choices, including all sorts of carpeting, stair runners, area rugs, bamboo/cork/pine/laminate wood flooring, ceramic and Dura Ceramic tiles, Marmoleum and vinyl. We also carry more floor pad styles, Foglietta said, the big box stores only offer two. Their expertise is not limited to homes. We have done boats, vacation houses, libraries, retirement homes and churches, Foglietta said. I love a challenge. Foglietta repairs damaged carpet and can re-stretch ripples out of installed carpet. After installation, Foglietta gives customers a tutorial on how to care for their new flooring. I come to the house and show them how to clean the floor and keep it lasting a long time, he said.
The key to his success, Foglietta said, is trust of the customer. The secret is honesty and education. I want people to be happy, not to price gouge them, and they know that, he said. The flooring experts at Elm Park Flooring can help you customize a gorgeous plan for your home by bringing samples to you to see in the natural light of your own surroundings. The goal is to have a happy customer and prove the motto, Flooring is a Walk in the Park. Elm Park Flooring is located at 19 Elm Park in Groveland.

Three key ingredients make 17 State Street Cafe hop on Friday and Saturday nights: burgers, beers and live music. Owner Cathy Moulton says it is an unbeatable combination to create that feeling of a home away from home right in the heart of downtown Newburyport. Featuring breakfast, lunch, dinner and a full liquor license, 17 State Street Cafe occupies a classic address, a place where locals for decades have gathered for coffee and more. These days everything is homemade, from the French toast on the breakfast menu to the roasted turkey on the Thanksgiving sandwich to the cornmeal pancake with molasses butter. The latter left Mario Cantone, a star on the TV series Sex and the City so satisfied that he tweeted about it. Cathy is the queen of food, said Paterson, the general manager who likes to greet customers. She can create anything from scratch and everybody goes crazy. The regulars never even look at the menu. A year after the grand opening of the casual restaurant, they treat it as their second home just like Moulton and Paterson envisioned. By now, the duo know many customers by name. Lou never strays from blueberry pancakes with fresh fruit or a vegetable omelet with feta cheese.
Dave is hooked on the English muffin. And a slew of people have made cinnamon sticks their guilty pleasure. Even the waitresses Jessica Kolodziej and Kerri Fowler, or Bubbly Jess and Bubbly Kerri, as they are often called, have gained their own following. Moulton is also the brain behind the salads and soups that, alongside pastries and breads, made her previous venture, Cathys Country Kitchen in Rowley, a destination. She brought her specials to 17 State Street Cafe in addition to a red bar stool, nicknamed Ike, that used to belong to her grandfather, Issac Webster, and his establishment, Websters Along the Merrimac. Her mother, Kay Moulton, 82, still runs Surfland Bait and Tackle on Plum Island. Previous generations, however, were never introduced to the Ooey Gooey, the double-stacked king of the burger menu, which includes 17 meat and vegetarian varieties. At the end of the week, local musicians set the tone as customers show up for Beats, Burgers & Brews to pair their favorite burger with their favorite pint. The calendar is listed online. The day after may call for a #17 Bloody Mary, another signature item with a secret ingredient. Said Moulton, I want people to leave with a happy stomach.

Established in 1985 32 Water Street, Newburyport, MA 01950 (978) 465-8398 www.massageonly.com 9 Years Running
The moment that clients at Massage Only in Newburyport walk through the door of the Water Street business, they notice something different: the absence of hustle-and-bustle. After all, the quiet massage clinic lives up to its name: There arent hairdresser chairs, or manicure and pedicure stations that customers may see at other facilities. Instead, the goal of co-owners Jennifer LeSage and Melissa OBrien is to offer a peaceful environment that focuses solely on massage treatments, offered by eight massage therapists. The clinic offers hot stone massage, reflexology, rejuvenating citrus reflexology treatment, pre- and postnatal massage, couples massage, and Ashiatsu, or barefoot deep tissue massage. Through Ashiatsu, massage therapist Sarah Hebb applies deep pressure to a customers hips and muscles supporting and surrounding the spine by using gliding strokes as she works barefoot along his or her back, holding on for balance to bars hanging from the ceiling. With her size 9 foot, she has a broad instrument, she added. It feels much like a regular massage, but just on a deeper level, Hebb said. The majority of clients who have tried it love it. Athletes tend to like it a lot, runners especially. Open seven days a week, the clinic doesnt follow set hours or demand a membership fee appointments are booked according to a customers schedule. The owners feel customers also appreciate the longevity of the business in Newburyport. It has been open since 1985. Over time, massage therapy has grown in popularity as clients now incorporate it into their health care regime, OBrien said, and consider it a good alternative to going to the doctor. It appeals

to men and women of all ages, from athletes to businesspeople, she added. Annual vacationers to Newburyport book a visit to Massage Only as part of their trips, OBrien said. Its good for every single system in your body, and touch is vital. Everybody needs it, she said. Additionally, massage can help reduce stress and treat chronic pain and discomfort in a noninvasive way, OBrien and LeSage explained. We are always getting referrals from chiropractors, physical therapists and M.D.s, OBrien said. Massage Only is located at 32 Water St., Newburyport. For more information, visit www.massageonly.com or call 978-465-8398. The business also offers self-service gift certificates that can be purchased through its website.

Christmas donations come in November. About 85 percent of all donations are recycled in some way, and the good donations have gone a long way to helping those in need. The Leeward Light Thrift Store in Salisbury is filled with an array of clothing, furniture, housewares, decorations, electronics
and much more.The proceeds from store operations are donated to local food pantries, including The Pettengill House in Salisbury, Our Neighbors Table in Amesbury and Community Services of Newburyport. The real idea is to keep it local, Werner said. The big guys, like the Salvation Army, have become
such big corporations, they dont have as much of a local focus. Along with the cash donations, Leeward Light has a voucher system set up with food pantries around the region that allows charities to send people in for free clothing and other items. The thrift store accepts all types of clothing, as well as handbags, books,
tapes, DVDs, games, paintings, pottery, dishes, pots and pans, furniture, tools, sheets and more.It cant accept items like mattresses, box springs, computers, small TVs, large appliances, flammable liquids or other hazardous items. Prospective donors can visit the stores website at www.leewardlight.org for more information about
donating. The store at126 Bridge Road (Route 1) in Salisbury accepts donations accepts donations Tues - Sat 9 a.m. to 3 p.m and Sunday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Since starting the thrift stores, Werner has been blown away by the reception of people in the area. The most rewarding thing is there are so many generous people out there who want to help, he said.

Sometimes, you just have to stick it out. When Claude Elias started up Oregano Pizzeria & Ristorante in downtown Newburyport in May 2008, he was hoping for some luck. But luck, as it turns out, wasnt on his side. We had a three-month honeymoon, then the stock market crashed in September of that year, Elias said. Then, in the winter of 2009, we had over 140 inches of snow or something like that. So, it was a disaster. I said to myself, I dont know, I think I made a mistake. The economy tanked. The weather (stunk), and when people went out, they went out to the places they knew. Scary stuff. A less experienced businessman might have panicked, but Elias, who has also owned Seabrooks Medical Laser Technologies for the past 20 years, had the capital and the guts to stick it out. I had that business sense, Elias said. And rather than sticking my head in my shell like a turtle, I basically stuck my neck out further and said, If we are to survive 2009, this is what we need to do. You dont panic, and you dont cut corners. You stay true to your convictions. And we did it. We kept enough staff so that when people showed up, we had enough. When you are short-staffed, people get turned off.
Another place where Elias and company refused to cut corners was in the product itself. Oregano kept importing its mozzarella di bufala straight from Italy and refused to skimp. Slowly but surely, the business began turning around, eventually growing from 15 to 17 percent every year since. Its been an amazing, amazing turnaround, Elias said. Even this year, were beating 2012 by 17 percent. Im actually surprised myself. I thought we would grow in single digits, but we are still showing double-digit growth. Business is phenomenal. This summer, the town was super-busy, and the fall-into-winter season is our second-busiest season. A resident of Newburyport himself, the Lebanese-born Elias said the menu reflects his heritage, with such non-Italian dishes as Lebanese falafel and lamb kebabs, as well as the Sicilian roots of his wife, Laura Messina-Elias. The No. 1 pasta dish in the restaurant is, surprise, surprise, the chicken parmigiana, Elias said. We make it all from scratch, and people love it. We have customers who eat with us twice a week. Oreganos pizza is not to be ignored either, recently Oreganos Pizzeria and Ristorante. winning Northshore magadowntown area. first and last restaurant is zines Editors Choice for We fought for it; we the inclusion of al fresco Best Gourmet Pizza. But were the pioneers, Elias dining on the side of Inn perhaps Elias proudest said. And once we got it, Street, something that has accomplishment to come everyone else was granted caught on quite well in the from what he calls his
permission to put chairs and tables on town property. And Ill tell you, nothing puts a smile on my face more than walking around
downtown and seeing all the people eating outdoors. I think that has added such a layer of depth to the town.

new medication, be sure you know whether its likely to make you tired or impair your judgment. If it does, dont drive just as you wouldnt had you been drinking. If instead you make the mistake of driving and are then stopped, whether or not you should submit to a field sobriety test unfortunately is not a simple yes or no answer.

Gold prices are back near their all-time high, making it a great time to cash in on unused or broken jewelry that can be easily turned into cash in your pocket. But while the businesses may look alike, not all Cash for Gold shops are the same. At his Cash for Gold Seacoast shop on Route 1 in Salisbury, just over the Newburyport bridge, owner Charlie Stevens believes his customers keep coming back because he puts them at ease and gives them confidence they are getting the best deal. I try to personalize the transaction, he said. Instead of going into a pawn shop atmosphere, you are going into a place where were very friendly and trying to accommodate individual needs. Stevens has traded gold in the commodities market since 1980 and has plenty of experience with other Cash for Gold and pawn shops, where people feel pressured or intimidated over selling their jewelry, some of which may have sentimental value as well. For people thinking about selling some jewelry, he said they should go through and find broken jewelry or pieces they havent used in years that they wont miss. Some people are in need of cash quickly and sell some things that have more sentimental value to them. Stevens listens to their situations and does whatever he can to help people.

In a world of conglomerations, its good to know the little guy can get it done. Its unusual to have a business that is owned 75 years by the same family, said Jim Buckley, general manager of Smith Motor Salesr. In this day and age of Group 1 and AutoNation and all these big dealer groups, its good to have one store owned by a father and a son. Thats pretty unusual. A throwback to a different time, the

With 20 years in the flooring business, Donna Michaels Carpet and Flooring owner Michael Souza had a clear vision for his new location at 149 State St. in Newburyport. Rather than just tell people his flooring store was different than the rest, he wanted to show them by creating an inviting atmosphere where customers could browse and ask questions without a heavy sales pitch. People come in and comment, You have the most attractive store, Souza said. We want to have a more casual, relaxed type of environment. Souza opened the new location on State Street last year. Not only did he want the new store to have a more upscale, calm feel, he also wanted to make sure the product reflected the demands of the diverse Greater Newburyport community. Having a connection with that customer base is something Souza stresses in his business, he said. He and his staff are all local, and Souza makes a point of giving back to the community, whether it be through donations of product or a check to sponsor a charitable effort. Because the Newburyport area has a wide range of tastes and incomes, he tries to offer a little of everything in the store, from the high-end to the more affordable brands. So while he carries the luxurious Louis A. Dabberi flooring line, which is difficult to find at most other stores, he also sells more practical rugs and flooring solutions for people with a smaller budget. On Friday and Saturday mornings, the staff open a binding shop where they sell carpet remnants of all sizes. The store is also affiliated with the International Designers Guild, enabling employees to give expert design advice and innovative products.
