WE’RE DRAWN TO COLORFUL PLACES

AND COLORFUL PEOPLE.

By Jonathan ClancyOn Saturday, June 24, the Ocean

State Dragonboat Club, along with the Kayak Centre of Rhode Island and Singles in M’Ocean, will be teaming up to “Kayak for The Co-Op,” an event to raise funds and awareness of the Healing Co-Oper-ative in Middletown. Paddling will take place between 9 and 11 a.m. at Wilson Park in North Kingstown, with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m. Raffles and wrap-up will follow until noon. A registration donation of $25 is suggested, and partici-pants must raise at least $100. All of the proceeds directly benefit the Co-Op.

The Healing Co-Operative opened in 2001 as a support center for women diagnosed with cancer and their families. The center offers specialized support groups, yoga, meditation, art therapy, outdoor missions, retreats, reflexology, and more, all free of charge, to an aver-age of 2,000 women and their fami-lies annually.

“I just got so tired of driving to the hospital when I was sick,” said founder and breast cancer survivor Linda Phelan. She said she wanted to give women and their families a place to go that dealt purely with spiritual and emotional healing. At the Co-Op, there are no drug rep-resentatives, no charts, no medical affiliations. This makes running the Co-Op expensive, because most state and federal grants go to or-ganizations that deal in medicine or research. Phelan started the Co-Op with money she received from a malpractice suit after her breast cancer was misdiagnosed when she was 28 years old.

Outside the center, Phelan main-tains a number of gardens. Each

has its own story, and offers mo-ments of peace to those who visit them. “The gardens are incredibly healing,” Phelan said. “One of the most important things to do is get right down to basics, right down to the simple things you can appreci-ate around you, and go from there.”

Belief and hope are sentiments that ring throughout the Co-Op house, which is decorated with eclectic artwork, including a color-ful mural. Recently, Canadian folk musician Jon Brooks stopped by to put on a show for friends of the Co-Op.

A nonprofit organization, the Co-Op depends on donations and money raised from various func-tions put on throughout the year. “Kayak For The Co-Op” is a gift from Janice Martin, a breast cancer sur-vivor and friend of the Co-Op, whose Dragonboat team has won the Providence races the past two years, donating their winnings to the Co-Op.

All Saints Academy in Middletown recently graduated a record-breaking Pre-K class of thirty-four students. Prior to their gradua-

tion ceremony, the class presented a special musical revue to a packed house of family, friends and staff. The students took the audience on a musical tour through America's last seventy years. Entitled, "As Time Goes By", the show featured a pint-sized Beatles tribute band, rocked the house with Queen, thrilled the audience with Michael Jackson hits and ended with a twist on modern rap. By their final bow, the period-costumed students had performed over fifty musical selections and showcased the fruits of their Pre-K, Social Studies-based program heavily steeped in the arts.

By Meg O’NeilNEWPORT – When the 2013 fis-

cal year starts on July 1, it will mark the seventh year in a row that city councilors have either level-fund-ed or cut the school department’s budget. To put that in perspective, in FY2006, the school department received $23,456,396 from the city. For the current school year, the schools received $22,564,158 – a net loss of $892,238.

It was under that premise that the Newport School Committee met at Thompson Middle School on Monday, June 18 to discuss po-tential cost saving strategies, which ranged from cutting academic pro-grams to staff reductions.

With a $639,515 deficit in the op-erating budget, and an additional $400,000 cut in federal funding for Title I and II programs, Supt. John H. Ambrogi told committee mem-bers that when it comes to savings, the administration has begun to run out of options. “We don’t have many places to go at this point in time,” Ambrogi said.

“There are some tough decisions that have to be made as far as what programs, positions and other situ-ations can be cut,” he said. “None of this is fun, it’s not a position I want to be in, but we need to take a look and see where we are with these budget decisions.”

Due to reduced federal fund-ing for Title I, which is used to pay for specialized reading and math teachers, Ambrogi recommended

laying off three reading specialist teachers.

If approved, the move would bring the number of reading teach-ers from six at the elementary level to four, and the number of reading teachers at Thompson from four to three. It would also save $333,000 annually.

“If you wanted to keep those three reading teachers, you’d need to request $1 million from the City Council,” he said. “I don’t think that’s going to happen. In a perfect world, I would’ve liked to have been fund-ed a little per year so we weren’t in this situation today.”

When the new Claiborne deB. Pell Elementary School opens in September 2013, Ambrogi says that the remaining amount of read-ing teachers is likely to be a suffi-cient amount for the student popu-lation.

“I think we need to put more re-sources at the elementary level. That’s where the foundation is for everything else,” he said. “I’m sit-ting here in the position of having to dismantle something that I’ve worked hard to establish over the last seven years … these are tough decisions that will impact some-one: kids, teachers, programs.”

Other school programs face pos-sible elimination as well, including the Advanced Placement Chemis-try class at Rogers High School for 2012-2013 school year. Eight stu-dents signed up to take AP Chemis-try this fall. The school department has proposed to cut the program,

and instead make it available to students the following year.

Several on the committee op-posed the proposal.

School Committee Chairman Patrick K. Kelley cited his son’s col-lege success which will be credited to the AP courses offered at Rogers High School. Committee vice-chair Rebecca Bolan also said that her daughter received her doctorate in a shorter amount of time because of the college-credit courses that she took at Rogers.

“I’m kind of shocked at this,” Kel-ley said. “We know that the jobs of the future are in the sciences, but now for some reason, we’ll take that opportunity away from these eight students. I just can’t support that.”

Rogers was recently rated the 8th best high school in the state by a U.S. News and World Report survey with much of that ranking based on the amount of Advanced Placement courses offered to stu-dents.

Meanwhile, Committeewoman Jo Eva Gaines stressed the impor-tance of not cutting any programs until the budget numbers were en-tirely firmed up.

“It’s important that we advocate for what we know our kids need as we go forward,” she said. “I don’t think we should be cutting pro-grams until we know what the City Council will give us.”

The City Council will vote on the school’s FY2013 budget on Wednesday, June 27.

been accomplished,” he said. “Ad-ditionally, with the class structure redesign and the appointment of Jaime Crowley as the principal of Thompson Middle School, things are changing for the better there.”

Kelley stressed the fact that he was not resigning from his position, but rather was simply not running for re-election.

“I certainly appreciate all the vot-er support that allowed me to serve for four years, but I have other pro-fessional career goals I want to ac-complish.”

Kelley’s decision leaves an open-ing on the seven-member board.

So far, it appears clear that at least one person will add their name to the list of candidates seeking a term on the school committee.

Robert B. Power, a former super-intendent of the Jamestown school system and former assistant super-intendent and interim-superinten-dent of Newport schools has con-firmed his interest in running for a spot on the board.

“I grew up in Newport and I think it’s important to give back to the community,” Power said. “I realize being on the School Committee is considered a thankless job, and ev-eryone has an opinion on what you vote on, but that’s the nature of the beast.”

No stranger to school operations, Power thinks examining school fi-nances is one of the biggest issues that will be discussed in the up-coming election season.

Power does not favor the idea of the city and school depart-ments combining services, recall-ing a time nearly a dozen years ago when the city’s finance department was underperforming. “People for-get about that time when the city’s finances were in terrible condi-tion. Had the schools been under the city’s finance department at the time, then everything we have would’ve been in bad shape.”

Power said he will not seek the chairman position, saying “I’m not running to be the boss, I’m running just to try to help where I can.”

While Power would be a new addition to the ballot list, another committee member is still debat-ing whether or not to seek anoth-er two-year term this fall. Jo Eva Gaines has been on the committee for the past 10 years and says that when she first ran for a seat in 2002, she did not want her appointment to be a lifetime commitment.

“I thought 10 years was enough,” she said. “But at the same time, we’ve got some serious stuff facing the committee in the next year.”

According to Gaines, one of the

biggest challenges will be ensur-ing a smooth closing process of the city’s four remaining elementary schools as the student body tran-sitions to the new Claiborne deB. Pell Elementary School in the fall of 2013.

“I’ve been around this area long enough to know that things can change when the people in the seats change,” she said. “In this era of budget cuts and making sac-rifices, It’d be hard to see choices made that would undo what we’ve worked so hard to get done.”

She says that most of the goals she ran for 10 years ago have been met, but she believes that the schools are still not where they could be in terms of academic achievement. “I’d really like to make sure that does not go south,” she said.

Gaines, and any others inter-ested in running for School Com-mittee, or any other elected office, have until June 25 – 27 to submit their names to City Hall.

While she’s “on the fence, but leaning in towards running again,” Gaines said that she’d like to see more than seven names on the ballot this fall. “I really think there ought to be turnover in the elected offices, and I don’t think anything ought to stay on forever.”

My Grandmother gave me this min-iature oil lamp before she passed away and she told me her mother gave it to her when she was a little girl. Where was it made and what is it worth? I don’t think it was ever used. It is about 10” tall.

— Miriam S.

Miriam:Stories get passed on about objects,

especially family mementos. Your min-iature lamp dates from 1949 and is Fenton-L.G. Wright cranberry glass, the Coin Dot Pattern. These lamps which originally were produced in a great va-riety of designs around the turn-of-the-century and were never meant to be used. They were too expensive and frag-ile and were collected for their beauty and workmanship. There was a revival in the mid 20th century in reproducing them and yours is a fine example that has a value between $600 and $700.

For the second time in less than three months, Aquidneck Is-landers were met with the news this week that a bicyclist had been killed by a motorist who by all accounts had been un-

aware of the victim's presence on the road. For those of us who use our bikes to navigate the city on any kind

of a regular basis, this tragedy may come as no surprise. For years, ad-vocates in the bicycling community have said that it's only a matter of time before people begin to get hurt, or worse.

That's why we've been so inclined to support the efforts of Bike Newport, the volunteer advocacy group that has been at the fore-front of recent efforts to make Newport the state's first Bicycle Friendly Community.

So far, the group has found a willing, albeit slightly passive partner in the city. That needs to change.

It's about time that our city leaders take a more proactive role in advocating for bike safety. Introducing bike lanes where possible, promoting share the road policies, and better enforcing traffic laws all come to mind as possible first steps in terms of governmental ac-tion.

On the road, we all should observe the following rules of the road, as promoted by Bike Newport.

For Cyclists:•  Always wear a helmet: It’s not about how well you ride, it’s about 

the things that are out of your control. Helmets are required in RI for anyone 15 and younger. They are just plain smart for anyone else.•  Obey all traffic lights and signs:  You wouldn’t run a red light in 

your car, don’t do it on your bicycle.•  Always ride in the same direction as the traffic:  If it’s a one-way 

street for a car, it’s a one-way street for a bicycle. Always ride on the same side of the road as cars driving in the same direction. Never ride against traffic.•  Stay off the sidewalk:  Cyclists 13 years and older may NOT ride 

on the sidewalk.•  Never carry another person on your bicycle:  It’s the law.•  Always use lights at night: If they flash, even better. Wear light-

colored clothing and reflective bands.•  Always use hand signals when turning or stopping:  Car drivers 

are not mind readers. Let people know what you are planning to do.•  Look out for cars at cross streets, driveways, and parking places: 

Stay alert to everyone and everything else using the road.•  Be careful when checking traffic and don’t  swerve when  look-

ing over your shoulder: Turning your head can turn your bicycle into traffic. Be careful!•  Give pedestrians the right-of-way:  Pedestrians always have the 

right of way.•  Keep your bicycle in good condition; and take a basic bike main-

tenance class.

For Motorists•  Scan the roadway for cyclists on roadways and intersections.•  When approaching cyclists, reduce your speed. Don't blast your 

horn – you could startle them and cause a crash.•  Recognize  hazards  cyclists  may  face:  Pay  particular  attention 

during bad weather or when road conditions are poor, and give cy-clists space. •  When following cyclists, don't tailgate, and be prepared to stop 

quickly.•  When passing a bicycle, do so slowly leaving at least three feet of 

passing space between your vehicle and the cyclist. •  Watch  for  approaching  cyclists  before  opening  your  vehicle 

doors: One of the most common injuries sustained by cyclists is be-ing "doored."•  Children on bicycles are often unpredictable – expect the unex-

pected, and slow down.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Traffic Flow Better To the Editor;

Have other people noticed how much better the flow of traffic is at the  intersection of Kay and Bellev-ue Avenue since it is a four way stop instead of the traffic light? I vote to keep it that way.

Beechwood Plan ApprovedBy Tom Shevlin

The ambitious plan to restore the former Astors' Beechwood mansion cleared its final hurdle on Tuesday as members of the Histor-ic District Commission voted to ap-prove a series of improvements to the historic manse.

The application, by Eastern Es-tates, LLC, a holding company owned by billionaire software mo-gul and America's Cup winner Larry Ellison, had undergone some sig-nificant changes since it was first introduced before the commission in February.

In its final form, the application calls for the reconstruction of a grand loggia designed by famed architect Richard Morris Hunt, the in-kind replacement of the existing stucco facade, and various other exterior alterations. As John Grosvenor of Northeast 

Collaborative Architects attested, the property, which once repre-sented the pinnacle of Newport's Gilded  Age  society,  had  revealed itself to be in a rather distressed state. Grosvenor  said  that  numerous 

architectural idiosyncrasies and structural deficiencies required a change of course in the initial de-sign plan for the main house, car-riage house, and greenhouse.

Other improvements already ap-proved include reconnecting two historically joined lots, located at 570 and 580 Bellevue Ave.;  reduc-ing the number of living units in an existing carriage house; demolish-ing  a  circa  1980s  two-car  garage; and constructing a guard house at

the entrance to the property. With approvals in hand from the

city's Zoning and Planning boards, the HDC has the last hurdle to be cleared before work can begin in earnest.

Once complete, the mansion will be open to the public as the Beechwood Art Museum, show-casing some of the owners' exten-sive private collection in a residen-tial setting, while outside, romantic gardens will harken back to the original landscape.According to Grosvenor, the en-

tire public space will be handicap accessible and "entirely code com-pliant."

The developers are hoping that the improvements will restore the property's place as one of New-port's most prominent examples of architecture.

As representing attorney Peter Regan said, "This property was real-ly the epicenter of Newport society, but has suffered from a half century of neglect."

This, he said, is, "an opportunity to restore the property to its orig-inal luster" while keeping it open and accessible to the public.

There were, however, some lin-gering concerns.

Commission member Michael Conroy, who voted against several elements of  the design, expressed concern over the decision to re-place several sections of brown-stone in the facade and to maintain the  stucco  exterior  instead  of  re-storing the building to its original brick design. However,  as  Grosvenor  ex-

plained, the amount of decay in

the existing brick precludes a com-plete restoration to the original ex-terior. Instead, he said, the stucco will serve as a buffer to effectively preserve the interior composition of the building.

"We're kind of beyond that point which (restoration) would be suc-cessful,"  Grosvenor  said,  adding that there is an inherent "reversibil-ity" to the design.

Commission Chair John She-han, who described the process as a "give and take," also noted that the building has been stucco for so long that he believed "it has been accepted as stucco."

In other business, commission-ers approved the following appli-cations:n George Cardoza  to  re-shingle 

a roof at 1 Red Cross Ave.n Continued an application for

63  Carey  St.  to  replace  a  garage door. n Elizabeth Glassick for window 

replacement at 42 Walnut St.n Alan Williams to replace sev-

eral windows at 46 Chastellux Ave.n  Various  exterior  improve-

ments to 453 Bellevue Ave.n Various alterations to a design

previously approved at 38 Memori-al Blvd., the home of Nikolas Pizza, which had already been carried out by the contractor citing building code requirements. n Chris Fiumara to repair and re-

place existing windows at 44 Clarke St.n John Slocum to install three

new  dormers  and  move  an  exist-ing dormer on a circa 1883 carriage house located at 431 Bellevue Ave.

dren and adults with disabilities, Sail To Prevail is hosting a reception at the New York Yacht  Club  Carriage  House on Saturday, June 30.

Proposal for New Beach Pavilion Aired

MIDDLETOWN COUNCIL

By Jonathan ClancyBefore its regular meeting on

Monday, June 18, the Middletown Town Council met with members of the Beach Commission to re-view and discuss the proposed new pavilion for Second Beach. The proposal from AG Architects for a 19,363-square-foot renovation, consisting of an 8,400-square foot building and over 10,000 square feet of extra decking, would cost the town $6 million – double the original estimate of $3 million from RKG Associates.

Council member Ed Silveria raised concerns that the money spent to build might not be re-couped if the beach season is poor. “I’ve seen summers where we don’t get Saturdays and Sundays that are beautiful, and it’s raining, and the next thing you know, you don’t have any revenue at all,” Silve-ria said. He also noted that 17,000 residents would be bearing the cost of this large investment over a long period of time, when not all residents actually use the beach. “If you were here telling me that structurally this building was not going to make it a few more years, then I would say absolutely let’s do something. I would encourage

the council to make a decision, but that’s not really what we’re getting,” said Silveria. “[What] we’re get-ting [is that] the building is struc-turally sound. We have hurricanes, we have storms, and it’s going to weather the weather down there. A building like this, you’re going to have substantial increase in cost.”

He cited issues such as cleaning, electricity, maintenance, and paint-ing that would be have to be fac-tored into the long-term cost.

Beach Commission chairman Rian Wilkinson encouraged the council not to wait on this issue, citing rising costs over the com-ing years. “Six million will seem like a gift,” Wilkinson said, “espe-cially if the economy starts turning around. We’re talking cement, la-bor, wood, and steel; you could be looking at eight million.” Wilkinson also expressed his concern about frequently clogging toilets in the present building. “It’s not some-thing to be proud of,” said Wilkin-

son, “It’s not just a building, it’s the quality of town life.”

Council member Richard Cam-bra said that in previous discus-sions, members had agreed that Second Beach should remain natu-ral looking, but these plans would place it 12 feet above ground, dominating the landscape.

The consensus from the resi-dents present was that the plan was too large and too expensive.

In other business:The council heard from the town

administrator, Shawn Brown, re-garding the interlocal agreement with Newport for a study of sharing waste-collection services with oth-er towns. The study will look at pos-sibilities of Newport and Middle-town combining services. Brown said, “By having the city and town both using the same equipment, you reduce the size of the fleet that we have to service both communi-ties, and that should help reduce the cost of the contract.”

The council also addressed con-fusion regarding the possible com-bination of recycling bins: “People should continue to follow the cal-endar: green one week, blue the next,” Brown said.

"I have spent my entire adult-hood in office and people have been overwhelmingly gracious," he said. "We live in a fantastic city that is world renowned and I con-sider myself blessed to have been able to influence its success if even in just a slight way. Newport will do just fine without me but I will miss waking up each and every day knowing that I have the abil-ity to enact policies that make a difference in the lives of others. I leave with my head held high hav-ing enjoyed every day of my public service and excited to take on new challenges. That being said, I love Newport and will continue to play a role in shaping its direction."

He continued, “I look back with satisfaction on what I have accom-plished during my years in public life and I realize these successes were made possible through work-ing cooperatively with others. Just in my current term as Mayor we have hired a highly qualified City Manager, approved the St. Clare’s Home project so our seniors can re-tire in peace in Newport, re-opened King Park Beach to swimming, gave approval to what I know will be a fantastic example of public art with the Queen Anne Square proj-ect, opened the Newport Maritime Center as a destination for boat-ers to feel welcome in our city, and

once and for all cleaned up Easton’s Beach so the City by the Sea fi-nally has a public beach for locals and visitors alike to enjoy without fear of closure. Over the years we have preserved open space across the city at Braga Park, Morton Park and the land around Coggeshall School. I have always been an ad-vocate of the public’s access to the waterfront and we fought success-fully to guarantee access at Scott’s Wharf, Marine Avenue and on the Washington Street Extension. All of this was done while maintaining the city’s strong financial position with the vision of keeping Newport as a most desirable place to live and visit,” said Waluk.

Waluk is a Newport native who graduated in 1995 from Rogers High School and in 1999 from Merrimack College in North Ando-ver, Mass. He is the son of Laurie Connerton Waluk and grandson of William and Jane Connerton. He was recently confirmed by the Rhode Island State Senate as the Chief Clerk of the Rhode Island District Court.

While Waluk will not be running this November, others are lining up to take his place.

Former City Councilor Stephen R. Coyne, who narrowly lost out on one of the five At-Large seats in the 2010 election, said this week

that he's readying his campaign for another council run. In con-firming his decision, Coyne said that he's gained a unique per-spective in the nearly two years since he last sat on the dais, and he intends to showcase that in the months to come.

Mike Farley, an attorney who narrowly lost to Second Ward Councilor Justin S. McLaughlin in 2010, also said on Tuesday that he's planning on seeking an At-Large seat in November.

"I'm in," he said enthusiastically. For his part, McLaughlin is also

planning on running for another term in the Second Ward. As are First Ward Councilor Charles Y. Duncan and Third Ward Council-woman Kathryn E. Leonard.

First-term incumbents Henry F. "Harry" Winthrop and Naomi L. Neville also will be mounting re-election campaigns.

Councilor Jeanne-Marie Napol-itano meanwhile said that she's currently weighing her options. And former Tax Assessor Allan Booth has also indicated that he might be interested in throwing his hat into the ring.

Anyone interested in running for City Council, or any other elect-ed office, needs to declare their in-tentions with the city's canvassing office between June 25 and 27.

Naval Community Briefs

NHCNE Red Cross HeroesFour members of Naval

Health Clinic New England were honored as heroes by the American Red Cross on June 14 at the Atlantic Beach Club. The Flag Day Communi-ty Heroes Celebration recog-nized Cmdr. Robert Peterson, Lt. Cmdr. Bradley Ross, Lt. Son-dra Jolly and Lt. Todd Pearson for their team effort in saving the life of a fellow employee who suffered a cardiac arrest behind the wheel of his car on the clinic compound. They administered CPR and used a defibrillator to shock the staff member. Lt. Karen Downer who nominated the four for the heroes’ award noted that, “without the Red Cross train-ing that was instilled years ago as first responders, these pro-viders might not have been in a position to assist the patient as quickly as they did.”

Coast Guard Prepares for CupBy Jack Kelly

This summer’s sailing events cal-endar promises to be one of the busiest in Newport’s recent history. With the America’s Cup World Se-ries June 23-July 1, at Fort Adams, followed by the Tall Ships Chal-lenge July 6-9, tens of thousands of spectators are expected to visit Newport. There are also expecta-tions of large fleets of spectator watercraft. To deal with the safety and security of everyone involved, the U.S. Coast Guard, along with state and local agencies, has de-vised safety plans in preparation for these and other summer water-front events.

According to Edward LeBlanc, Cdr. USCG (Ret), who is the Ma-rine Events Coordinator for East-ern Southern New England, “This is a joint mission involving the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxilia-ry, R.I. Department of Environmen-tal Management and the Newport Harbormaster’s Office. This team will be responsible for the safety of all boating interests on the bay and in the harbor for both of these great events.”

LeBlanc is a very busy man. His office, located in the Chief Wa-terways Management Division, is responsible for reviewing per-mit applications and insuring that planning, safety and security con-tingencies are properly in place for all waterway events in his area of responsibility. The Newport events are just one of the many varied wa-terways festivals, races and other occurrences this summer.

Two rectangular box racecours-es have been established on the waters adjacent to Fort Adams for the America’s Cup World Series. One box has been established near Castle Hill and the second is locat-ed just north of Fort Adams. “The course to be utilized will be cho-sen on a daily basis due to weath-er, wind and other considerations. A secure safety zone will be es-tablished to allow the Cup racers to proceed to the designated race course,” LeBlanc said. “While 99% of all boaters respect the Coast Guard, we are occasionally challenged. Those challenges are usually pretty short.” LeBlanc offered this advice to mariners traveling to the event, “Relax, be flexible and enjoy the event. Help us keep it safe for ev-eryone, and please, regardless of age, wear life jackets. We don’t of-ten recover deceased people with lifejackets on.”

Tim Mills, Newport Harbormas-ter, is a native Newporter who has witnessed many waterfront events including Tall Ship gatherings and past America’s Cup races. Mills ex-plained that the Harbormaster’s staff will have the responsibility for port and inner harbor monitoring and boating safety. “Our primary responsibility is to keep the harbor safe by enforcing “no wake” zones, maintaining a safe boating traffic flow and allowing the Cup boats an unrestricted path to and from the harbor,” Mills said. “These racers have quick moves and no power. They can move on another vessel very quickly, and it is our job to give them safe passage as well as pro-tecting the surrounding watercraft.”

Another aspect of the Harbor-master’s duties involves the mon-itoring of the passenger dock at Perrotti Park. Plans call for the shuttle buses from the satellite parking lots to discharge their passengers at Perrotti Park. From there water shuttles will ferry spectators to Fort Adams. (For more on shuttles and parking see p. 14-15.) Handicapped visitors will be taken directly to Fort Ad-ams by specially equipped shut-tle busses. Harbormaster person-nel will assist visitors on the dock. They will ensure that safety proto-cols are followed, allowing every-one involved to have an enjoyable and safe experience.

Mills offered advice to boaters coming for this event, “While there is no established traffic pattern in the harbor, one should expect it to be very busy. Be aware of the boating traffic around you as well as enforcement vessels giving di-rections. Know where your safety equipment is located especially life vests. Remember that children under 13 are required by law to be wearing a life vest! In cases of emergencies the Harbormaster’s Office monitors Channel # 16.”

Group Aims to Boost Economic Development

By Tom ShevlinAfter three months of intense

deliberations, a special group tasked with improving the city's economic climate has laid out its vision for making Newport more business-friendly to members of the City Council.

On Wednesday, the Economic Development Working Group pre-sented its findings by way of a re-port spearheaded by Councilor Naomi L. Neville.

Initially chartered in December to “evaluate Newport’s current out-reach to local business and New-port’s ability to entice new busi-ness opportunities,” the group was comprised of a mix of local busi-ness owners and policymakers, namely: attorney Turner Scott; Sar-ah Atkins of Social Ventures Part-ners-Newport; real estate broker Stephen Kirby; Paul Harden of the Rhode Island Economic Develop-ment Council; Brad Cherevaty of the Fifth Element Restaurant; the aforementioned Councilor Nev-ille; City Manager Jane Howington; Jane Pickens Theater owner Kathy Staab; and real estate developer Karl Olsen.

They met for the first time in March, and wrapped up their dis-cussions just this past month.

Among the issues touched on: seeking efficiencies within City Hall and enhancing existing economic development opportunities; part-nering with neighboring commu-nities to help attract new compa-nies to Aquidneck Island.

As Neville explained, the group evolved from being a source of new business ideas, to a resource for entrepreneurs.

"An interesting theme that de-veloped was the need for the City to be, not a developer or new busi-ness creator, but instead to foster the business ideas of others," she said.

"I think the next step is to take the Committee and modify it to be an implementation committee, taking the goals and actions and finding ways to work with existing City staff and give it direction and guidance for moving forward."

Some of the group's ideas have

already been implemented. Ac-cording to Neville, two of the rec-ommendations of the ED group - namely, forming an information technology working group and a Communications Committee, have already happened.

"It's good to see forward prog-ress," Neville said in an e-mail.

She continued: "The IT working group is identifying Newport's ac-cess to Broadband and what steps we might take to make fiber optics more accessible to more business-es. Taking the concept of Newport moving into the 21st Century. We need to stay competitive in today's emerging markets. Newport's ar-chitecture fabric is perfect for small start-up companies, but we need to provide them with modern IT in-frastructure."

Meanwhile, the Communica-tions Committee is moving for-ward with a plan to enhance the city's public communications, web-site development and social media presence.

The group's final stated goals are the following:

1. Create a business-friendly in-teraction between local govern-ment agencies and private sector.

2. Create physical and social in-frastructure for economic develop-ment by pursuing updated physi-cal infrastructure improvements such as fiber optic broadband, on-going road and sidewalk improve-ments, and social networking in-frastructure projects to improve communications.

3. Foster sustainable small busi-ness development that enhances and is symbiotic with Newport's historic existing context.

4. Collaborate with other eco-nomic development organizations and development of private/public partnerships

5. Develop a cohesive marketing strategy to promote Newport as "The City of Learning and Culture."

If the group moves into a more proactive phase, it will likely follow a similar path to those already tak-en in Middletown and Portsmouth, where economic development committees have been active for several years.

Good Fences Make Good GardensBy Cynthia Gibson

Some vegetables are quick to grow, and others take months. Ei-ther way, it is best to protect your crop. There are many great ways to go about doing this.

If you are growing your vegeta-bles in raised beds, you are already at an advantage. The added height of the raised bed makes any rabbit, vole, or mouse take an extra leap to get in. Fortunately, rabbits are not big on leaping up high. Birds, how-ever will perch on the edge of your raised bed and survey the territory.

The Cook’s Garden catalog and website has a nifty raised-bed fence. They call it a small animal barrier. These work, and they are easy to install in-ground or as an addition to raised beds. They are a little pricey at $89.99, but they will last for at least four to five years.

The best ways to protect your garden involve fencing and net-ting. Birds definitely do not like

netting. The Ross Company manu-factures bird netting in different sizes and lengths for every type of garden.

For long rows of strawberries, you would want the 3’ X 50’ size. The netting is very easy to cut with scissors to smaller sizes. Should you want to cover your cherry tree, you can buy a square of netting that is 28’ X28’ or 14’ X 14’. Ace Hardware and Newport Hardware sell Ross netting. Should they not have the size you require, they will order it for you. To keep your netting an-chored to the soil in-ground or in raised beds, use Earth Staples. Now these are truly genius! They are a very elongated U-shaped piece of wire. They hold down netting and landscape fabric beautifully. You can purchase these in any garden supply store or hardware store.

Rabbit fencing is the ideal pro-tection for your prized vegetables. It is approximately three feet tall and comes in 40 ‘ rolls.

Even baby rabbits have a hard time crawling through these tight spaces. This fence comes in forest green and is available at Agway in Portsmouth. The most typical type of wire fencing to use in your gar-den is called Hex wire or Hex net-ting. It is the hexagonal shapes wo-ven together that give it its name. We also know it as chicken wire. This type of wire netting is not as stiff as rabbit fencing. It is pliable and can easily be installed around a garden by one person. You can buy Hex wire/netting at any hardware store. It comes in different gauges – the holes come in different sizes. A typical roll size is 40 to 50 feet long

by 2 or 3 feet high. For customiz-ing the size of the wire, simple wire snips will do the trick.

Both types of fencing need poles or stakes. Metal stakes work beauti-fully. After measuring your garden, always purchase a little more wire fencing than you think you need. I am sure your measurements are ac-curate, but once the wire is hooked onto the posts, it changes the length of wire needed.

Using bamboo poles to hold up netting to surround a garden is like putting toothpicks next to trees for stability. Bamboo is not strong enough, dries quickly, and is brittle. Green metal stakes will do the trick. All you need is one stake for every four feet, and one stake for each corner of your garden.

For example, if your garden is 4’X 8,’ you will need six stakes. Once your stakes are in the ground where you want them, place your wire fencing onto the stakes and crimp them in place with pliers. Unless your gardens are vast, you can install this very simple garden fence in less than two hours. You will need a very large hammer to pound your stakes into the ground. Make sure the winged bits are un-der the soil and the stakes are pounded in straight. The straighter your stakes, the less give you will have in your fencing.

Now, have an iced tea and ad-mire your work!

passionately and tends her miniature orchard in Newport.

Strawberries Going Fast

It’s a rule of thumb that the local strawberry season is Father’s Day to the Fourth of July. But this year, the berries came in early – and it looks like they’ll be quitting early, too. Some local farms have already closed their pick-your-own fields; others say the berries might last an-other week at best.

Strawberry Shortcake is just one of the luscious desserts that are

best made with locally grown strawberries.

Titanic Survivors RememberedAmong the approximately 700

fortunate people who survived the sinking of the Titanic 100 years ago were two men who would go on to have such outstanding careers in tennis that each would be named to the Hall of Fame, one in 1957 and the other in 1969.

A new exhibit at the Internation-al Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum pays tribute to the two: Karl Howell Behr and Richard Norris Williams II.

The exhibit, which will be open for about a year, includes memora-bilia relating to not only the Titanic tragedy, but also the subsequent successes that the two men had in tennis.

When he boarded the Titanic in April 1912 with his father, Williams was an American who had been living in Europe and preparing for a collegiate tennis career at Har-vard. After the ship struck the ice-berg, the pair helped other people board lifeboats. When they realized the ship was close to sinking, they prepared to jump into the water, but Williams’ father was crushed by a piece of the ship and died. So the younger Williams jumped alone, clinging to a lifeboat for hours in frigid water. After he was saved, he had no feeling in his legs. Doctors aboard the rescue ship Carpathia recommended amputation, but Williams was not willing to give up his dreams for a successful tennis career. He spent hours walking the decks and was able to save his legs.

Remarkably, just months after-ward, Williams won the U.S. Na-tionals Mixed Doubles title. He lat-er won an Olympic Gold in mixed doubles with Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman. In all, Williams won a to-tal of six major championships and

was a member of five triumphant Davis Cup teams. He was honored for his achievements with Hall of Fame induction in 1957.

Karl Howell Behr, a successful businessman and established ten-nis player, boarded Titanic to fol-low Helen Newsom, the woman he loved, but whose parents did not approve of him. After the ship struck the iceberg, Helen and her parents were put into one of the first life boats. Behr was convinced to climb aboard to help row the boat.

Once aboard the Carpathia, Behr became part of the Survivor Com-mittee, helping to organize and as-

sist the survivors. He also proved himself worthy to Helen's parents; the two were married in March 1913.

Prior to the Titanic disaster, Behr had a thriving tennis career, having been a doubles finalist at Wimble-don and a finalist at the U.S. Na-tionals. Afterwards, he continued to play competitively, achieving a career high ranking of No. 3 in the United States. He was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1969.

Williams and Behr were not ac-quainted before they met as sur-vivors aboard the Carpathia. Two years later, in 1914, Williams was

en route to his first U.S. National Championship in singles, when he recognized Behr on the other side of the net at the tournament, which was hosted at the Newport Casino. The men played against each other a few others times in their careers and remained friendly.

"This has been a fascinating ex-hibit to develop,” said Doug Stark, museum director at the Interna-tional Tennis Hall of Fame & Mu-seum. “Our goal was to shed light on the interesting lives of two re-markable men who survived one of the most infamous catastrophes in modern history, but were able to go on to have elite careers as ath-letes and success in other areas of life. We are grateful to the Behr and Williams families for their support in developing this exhibit.”

Tennis memorabilia featured in the exhibit includes Williams’ 1914 U.S. Nationals Men's Singles Cham-pionship trophy, which he won at Newport. In addition, his 1920 Wimbledon Men's Doubles Cham-pionship trophy and a racquet press that he used to carry his gear to tournaments are on display.

“Tennis and the Titanic” will be on display for approximately one year in the Woolard Family Enshrine-ment Gallery at the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum.

Newport’s Old Quarter is a vibrant historic neighborhood where 18th and 19th century buildings contin-ue to be used as homes, places of whorship, restaurants and shops, as they have been for three centuries. It encompasses six non-profit orga-nizations: International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum at the Newport Casino, Newport Art Museum, The Newport Historical Society, Newport Restoration Foundation, The Red-wood Library & Athenaeum, Touro Synagogue & Loeb Visitor Center, and the Whitehorne House. www.TheOldQuarter.og.

An original film, directed by Pierre Marcel, recounts the history, dramatic sinking and resurrection of a classic 107-year-old Herreshoff yacht in Newport. (Photos by Sally Ann Santos)

Launched in April of 1905, Amor-ita was one of just eighteen identi-cal NY-30 class racing yachts turned out by the Herreshoff Manufac-turing Company in Bristol, RI. By 2007, she’d already celebrated her 100th birthday and was still sailing strong. While nearly all boats of her era eventually succumbed to ne-glect, rot, and destruction, Amorita was lucky that sailors, having been touched by her magic, went to ex-traordinary lengths to care for and protect this beloved little yacht. Described by Olin Stephens as one of the “most perfect yacht designs,” she became an iconic fixture of Newport harbor, one of the most admired and photographed yachts in the world.

July 7, 2007, was a beautiful New-port day and Amorita was ready to race in the Robert H. Tiedemann Classic Yacht Regatta. That day the sun bounced off of her crisp white sails, glinted on her bright work and made her deck hardware spar-kle. Then…while racing among her classic peers she was run down and sunk by a yacht nearly twice her size. The collision, which could eas-ily have taken the lives of ten sail-

ors, sent shockwaves through the local, national and international sailing community. After a sicken-ing crash, her deck submerged and vanished beneath the feet of her crew in mere seconds.

As news of the tragedy spread, it came to the attention of ac-claimed French film director/pro-ducer, Pierre Marcel. Marcel, an accomplished yachtsman. While screening his award-winning film “Taberly” at the Newport Film Fes-tival in 2009, he met and discussed the details of Amorita’s saga with owners Jed Pearsall and Bill Doyle.

After spending just one morning examining the wreckage and inter-viewing those closest to the acci-dent, he was convinced that there was a deep emotional story that had to be told. The film would not just document the boat yard de-tails of a restoration, but would tell the story of a truly unique vessel that had captured the hearts and imagination of sailors and non-sailors for more than a century. It would be a love story of commit-ment and determination to save a sentimental and historic treasure.

Now, five years later, the film is

complete. Fittingly, it will be shown on the eve of the America’s Cup World Series in Newport, RI. Amor-ita’s designer, the legendary Cap-tain Nathanael Herreshoff, also de-signed five America’s Cup winning yachts from 1893-1920.

To complete the circle, proceeds from the event will benefit Sail Newport, whose mission is to pro-mote and operate affordable pub-lic sailing, and the Jane Pickens Theater restoration fund, another historic Newport icon.

The film will première in New-port on Tuesday, June 26, at the Jane Pickens Theater. The event will kickoff with a pre-show reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by screening at 7 p.m. (60 mins.), and post-show Q&A with director, Pierre Marcel.

Under New Ownership

By Jonathan ClancyThe Bay Voyage Inn and Res-

taurant in Jamestown has long been known for its award-winning

-able atmosphere, and view of the Newport Bridge. Dating from 1889, when it was sailed across the Bay on a barge, the building has seen some changes in the course of its lifetime. The most recent one hap-pened in the kitchen when Ste-phen Lucier was promoted to Ex-ecutive Chef at just 26 years old. Lucier moved to Newport from Haverhill, Massachusetts when he

Rhode Island distribution company All American Foods. What is your culinary back-ground?

Rhumbline in Newport. I worked

as a sous chef. I came to Bay Voyage a little over a year ago.

to become a chef? How did you learn?

I was changing tires when I was 18 years old, and I knew I didn’t want to do that the rest of my life. My dad had a buddy looking for a guy to cook. So, I went in and gave it a shot, worked my way up, and ended up loving it. It’s fun; it’s one of those things that you really have to have a passion for.

What is a current trend in food preparation?

Molecular cooking – dealing with things on the molecular lev-el, like making caviar pearls and foams. I did a mozzarella balloon last week.

What’s a mozzarella balloon?I make homemade mozzarella,

with a tomato and basil mixture – that Caprese salad kind of thing.

While the mozzarella is warm, I put -

to basil puree. So, it’s like a tomato mozzarella salad inside of a ball of mozzarella.

What is the attraction of molecu-lar gastronomy?

You’re essentially taking com--

You’re almost using science in a way to enhance your food. Every-one’s had steak with chimichurri sauce. So instead, I’ll do chimichur-ri foam. You get this pile of bubbles, and you’re like, “Whoa, that’s chimi-churri, man!”

What would you say is a food that doesn’t get used enough on American tables?

-

with chicken or any meat: You cook a piece of chicken on the bone, and it’s that much better. Well, you cook

But people don’t always like seeing a face staring back at them when they’re eating, whereas in other countries, that’s the norm.

What do you like to eat when no one is looking?

I’m not too picky. I still have a soft spot for bar grub. I’ve been known to hit up Ben’s Chili Dogs a time or two.

Are there any foods you dislike?

of cat food. We do as much of the farm-to-table thing as we can here. The fewer hands that touch your food, the better.

What was your most memorable meal?

This past Valentine’s Day, I had -

lulah on Thames. That’s the level I’d like to get to with my food. It’s a dining experience. It takes almost two hours to eat there. You’re not in a rush, you’re going to get the food when the chef builds it and feels that it’s ready.

Do you have any pet peeves while dining out?

I hate to see bad service. You can make the most delicious meal ever, and if someone doesn’t have a good experience from the front of the house, it makes the meal not as good. Everything has to match: stellar food and good service.

What would you want your last meal on earth to be?

Anything pork. Some kind of ba-con, pork belly. I’m a sucker for the pig.

Pork and Clams “Alentejan Style”

Ingredients:

Olive oilSea saltCracked black pepper8 bay leaves6-8 boneless pork chops12-18 littleneck clams10 cloves garlic1 jar massa de pimentao (red pepper puree)2 bottles of lager beer4 cups clam juicehalf bunch parsleyhalf bunch cilantro1 tbs tomato paste

Marinate pork chops in 3 tbs of massa de pimentao, fresh garlic, olive oil and white wine.

-til just tender, strain and set aside to cool. Once cooled

with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper and bake at 450 degrees until golden and crispy.

In a medium sauce pot, heat a half cup of olive oil and toast bay leaves. Add chopped gar-lic until brown. Add two bot-tles of beer and reduce by half. Whisk in massa de pimentao and tomato paste and add clam juice and bring to a boil, then simmer about ten min-

with chopped parsley and ci-lantro. Puree sauce with im-mersion blender or standard blender. A food processor will also work nicely.

In a large skillet, preferably cast iron, sear both sides of the pork until nicely carmel-ized and brown. In the same pan add the previously made sauce and simmer for 4-5 min-utes. Add clams and cover un-til the clams open.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and place on a large serving plate. Place the pork on top of the potatoes and pour the sauce and clams over. Finish with good olive oil, parsley and cilantro.

Serve with a cold beer and crusty bread.

The menu at Bay Voyage is eclectic yet approachable. For starters, there are traditional items like New England Chow-der ($6) and Roast Beet Salad ($8). Lucier also prepares Fried Native Calamari ($9) with a twist, adding smoked tomatoes, picca-lilli dressing and sea salt. Entrees include seafood, but also other dishes such as Pork and Clams “Portuguese Style,” ($19) and Maple Cured Roast Duck ($24). A

DINNER & A MOVIE

‘Moonrise’ is Pure Anderson By Way of ShakespeareBy Patricia Lacouture

In reflecting on all of the sto-ries that have been written about Newport and the films that have been set here, I think of Roger Eb-ert’s review of the film, “Moon-rise Kingdom,” which opens at the Jane Pickens Theater next week, and wherein Ebert makes a refer-ence to William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” – “Moonrise Kingdom”… takes place on an Island that might as well be ruled by Prospero.”

“The Tempest” is one of my fa-vorite plays, because of its heavy emphasis on the mystical and be-cause its magic flows from the bones of the narrative through Shakespeare’s words.

“Moonrise Kingdom,” the new-est Wes Anderson film, which was filmed in and around Newport, warrants the comparison to the work of the Bard in its elements of enchantment and celebration of the imagination of childhood. With its tongue-in-cheek sense of whim-sy, “Moonrise Kingdom” takes An-derson above his usual dry, satirical humor (“Rushmore,” “The Royal Te-nenbaums,” “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” and “The Darjeeling Limited”) to a place that is more magical than his previous works, in the sense of being filled with more of a sense of youthful adventure and romance.

The story centers on 12-year-

old lovers, Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward), who flee their New England island town to run away and have a grand adventure. They camp for several days before a hunting party composed of boy scouts, law enforcement officials and Suzy’s befuddled parents find them in a church steeple where they have taken refuge from a storm (a reference to Noah as well as “The Tempest”.)

The first-rate cast includes Bruce

Willis as Captain Sharp, Edward Norton as Scout Master Randy Ward, Harvey Keitel as Command-er Pierce and Bill Murray as Sally’s dad, Walt. (I’ll leave the decoding of some of these names to our clev-er readers). Frances McDormand plays Sally’s mom, Laura. Tilda Swinton plays a Social Services rep-resentative, and Jason Schwartz-man appears as Cousin Ben.

For the uninitiated, Wes Ander-son’s films share certain common-

alities: He favors primary colors and classic rock music, especially Brit-ish rock. His characters are always flawed, which makes their abun-dant eccentricities rather likeable. The narratives often mix charac-ters from the wealthy and working class, and he often works with the same crew and cast members. Bill Murray, for instance, has appeared in all but the first Anderson Film, 1996’s “Bottle Rocket.” Luke and Owen Wilson make frequent ap-pearances, and Owen collaborated on the screenplays for “Bottle Rock-et.,” “Rushmore” and “The Royal Te-nenbaums.”

The latter film was drawn from Anderson’s childhood, fractured, in his perception, by his parents’ divorce when he was eight. If you look closely, you can see referenc-es in the film to Anderson’s favor-ite filmmakers, especially Francois Truffaut and Satyajit Ray. “Moon-rise Kingdom” opened this year’s Cannes Film festival.

Count stop-motion animation among Wes Anderson’s skills. His feature-length adaptation of Roald Dahl’s “Fantastic Mr. Fox” opened in 2009.

Patricia Lacouture teaches film studies at

Salve Regina Univer-sity. She completed her

graduate studies in film at Boston University.

Edward Norton is Scout Master in “Moonrise Kingdom,” (rated PG-13). Some scenes were shot at Rhode Island’s Boy Scout Camp Yawgoog in Hopkinton.

“Moonrise Kingdom,” the newest Wes Anderson film,

which was filmed in and around Newport, warrants

the comparison to the work of the Bard.

Fabulous Summer Fishing Awaits You

(left to right) Rafe Wysham, Arthur Velishka, his son John Velishka and Patrick Hourigan Show off their stripers from a June 11 Charter

By Jack Kelly With the arrival of summer the

promises of spring are being real-ized.

A recent tour of the five ac-tive Osprey nests on the island re-vealed that each nest contains at least one if not two young Ospreys. The adult Ospreys have been ob-served carrying fish to their nests to feed the rapidly growing and ravenous young birds. At the pres-ent time, it is difficult to get an ac-curate count due to the height and placement of the nests. However, in 2-3 weeks the young will be large enough to be seen moving around the edges of their nests. Within 4-5 weeks they will be ready to fledge, or learn to fly.

At Gooseneck Cove, seven down-covered chicks have been observed in the Common Tern rookery. It is a treat to watch the

adult Terns bring small fish to the rookery and feed their young. The cove is also host to many Canada Geese goslings and Mallard Duck ducklings. These young waterfowl can be observed as they navigate the waters of the cove and the sur-rounding wetlands guided by their parents.

Jack Kelly, a native Newporter, is a wildlife photographer and na-

ture enthusiast who enjoys sharing his ex-periences with others.

Rogers High School Graduation

Families, friends, and faculty cheered on the 113 graduating se-niors from Rogers High School on Friday, June 15 inside the school’s auditorium. The evening marked the 139th commencement exer-cises for the school.

Mayor Stephen C. Waluk addressed the students and stressed the importance of returning to Newport once their college careers were finished. “This city needs you,” he said. “It’s important that you give Newport a chance. You can always come home here.”

This year’s graduates were accepted to 87 different colleges and universities around the country.
