Teachers end work-to-rule; say settlement near
A settlement to the months-old Westport
teacher contract dispute may be near and
work-to-rule by teachers is over, the teachers’
union leader says.
“Work to rule ended effective Tuesday,” said
Andrew Cottrill, president of the Westport Federation of Teachers.
“There are a few outstanding issues left to be
resolved, but I’m hopeful that they will be
resolved sooner rather than later,” Mr. Cottrill
“It is the same salary agreement
that we reached in July.”
ANDREW COTTRILL, PRESIDENT OF THE
WESTPORT FEDERATION OF TEACHERS
said.
“It is the same salary agreement that we
reached in July” he added. “ We are cautiously
optimistic that it will be ratified by the entire
school committee.”
He declined to discuss contract specifics,
saying that the package has not yet been
approved by either side.
Neither the superintendent of schools nor
the School Committee chairman have offered
comment on those developments.

Restored concert grant hoisted into new home
BY BRUCE BURDETT

LITTLE COMPTON — The
rich sounds of a piano built in
Boston 116 years ago filled United Congregational Church with
magnificent sound Sunday.
Surrounded by the robed
church choirs, Michael Bah-
mann, the church’s organist and
choir director, played the concert grand that had arrived only
days before in dramatic fashion.
Last Wednesday, a boom crane
hoisted the thousand-pound
restored mahogany piano
through the air to the fire escape
door. Railings had been cut off to
enable the tight fit and a team
eased it through with the greatest of care.
“And then they rolled it right
down the aisle,” said Steve Walker, head of the church’s Music
Committee.
Mr. Bahmann had meant to be
there but was kept away by a
traffic jam. So the honor of playing the first few notes went to
Paul Dumont of Dumont Piano,
the firm that had restored the
piano for its new role.
“It fills the church to a point
that you can’t believe,” Mr. Walk-

Garage lease
Site will become
Alliance’s new
headquarters
They are working on a longterm lease but in the meantime
the Board of Selectman has
approved a temporary lease that
enables the Westport River
Watershed Alliance (WRWA) to
keep working toward its goal of a
new headquarters at the head of
Westport.
The Selectmen agreed last
week to approve a short-term
lease for the 493 Old County
Road Head Garage property
(next to the kayak shop) between
the town Landing Commission
and the WRWA.
Such a deal is needed, WRWA
President Tom Schmitt said, so
that the Alliance can continue to
apply for grants while the longterm lease is completed. Westport Landing Commission Chair
Carl Tripp said he expects that
final lease to be ready for signatures soon.
Asked about protections for
the town should there be some
accident or injury there before a
final lease is in place, Selectmen
were told that work will not start
until the long-term lease is
signed.
Voters at last spring’s town
meeting agreed that the town
and WRWA should be allowed to
work out a lease of up to 30
years but Mr. Schmitt said he
expects the actual lease term to
be shorter with options to renew.
Although the deal is not yet complete, the Landing Commission
will get an expected $1,280 per
year for the 5,000-square-foot
garage lot — the WRWA owns the
building itself.
The WRWA expects to invest
up to $1 million in the facility of
which about one quarter has

Driver charged in fatal Wellfleet crash
Wellfleet police charged a Cape
Cod man last Wednesday in connection with a crash in that town
that killed a Warwick woman in
an oncoming car and injured the
Little Compton driver of that second car.
James Martin, 46, of Provincetown and New York was charged
with motor vehicle homicide,
negligent operation of a motor
vehicle and marked lanes violation.
A police press release did not
indicate what caused Mr. Martin’s 2014 Audi to cross the center
line of Route 6 on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 15, and run head on
into the other car.
That other car, a 2007 Subaru,
was driven by Denise Wilkie, 55,
of Little Compton. She and Mr.
Martin were treated for non-life
threatening injuries at Cape Cod
Hospital.
Ms. Wilkie’s passenger, Lucille
Francoeur, 76, of Warwick, died
of her injuries.
Wellfleet Police Chief Ronald
Fisette said after the accident
that preliminary investigation
revealed that the Subaru was in
the proper lane.
Samaritans of Bristol County seek volunteers

The Samaritans of Bristol County have put out a call for volunteers to help in various ways.
Volunteers are needed for
staffing the Samaritans’ crisis hotline, but in order to do so, volunteers must first complete a 15
hour training session. Upon completion, each volunteer will be
paired with an experienced
Samaritan on the telephone for 20
hours as part of the Buddy Program.Volunteers are also needed
to help with grant writing, marketing, event planning, office work,
giving presentations and board
participation.
Since 1984, the Samaritans of
Bristol County have been receiving calls on their crisis hotline
from people of all ages and backgrounds who are in need of talking
to someone who can listen in confidence. Callers may speak about
anything that is causing them to
feel suicidal, overwhelmed, upset,
anxious, burdened, depressed or
lonely.
Samaritans befriend the callers.
They are there for the caller as
empathetic listeners. Someone
may call just the one time or as
often as they want or need.
Samaritans do not advise, counsel, diagnose or judge, but try to
make the caller feel at ease and be
able to talk freely. The person calling need not give any information
except what he or she desires. Giving a name is optional and only
the first name.
For information about volunteering for the Samaritans, visit
w w w . s a m a r i t a n s bristolcounty.org. To register for
training, contact Del Ferus, executive director, at 508-679-9777 or

PIANO: Concert grand fills church with rich sound
From Page 1
er said. “When you open it up it is
spectacular.”
United
Congregational
obtained the piano from Mr. Bahmann, who bought it in 2000 from
a voice studio in Boston. The previous owner said it had once been
played on the Boston Symphony
Orchestra stage.
“It has been in a little room in my
house,” he said. “It’s just much too
big for the space.”
The concert grand was built in
1898 by famed Boston piano company Chickering and Sons, the
nation’s oldest piano manufacturer.
“The reputation of their pianos
was said to be equal to or superior
to Steinway,” Mr. Bahmann said.
“The best.”
He believes listeners will appreciate the difference.
“It has a very full and deep bass,”
he said, “The piano’s sound is
rounder, more mellow, full and rich
than modern pianos “ whose
builders try to “get the most bright
sound and horsepower that they
can.”
As for the pianist’s experience,
“the touch is the same but the
response is different” than what
most are accustomed to.
The keyboard and strings had
been replaced so the piano is in
excellent condition, Mr. Bahmann
said.
It did, however, need refinishing.
“It had been used for many years
at a voice studio and singers usually like to put one arm on the piano.
All of the finish had been worn off
in that area.”
Rather than replace the black
lacquer finish, they opted to take
the piano down to the bare
mahogany “and let the beautiful
wood show through,” he said.
The “new” piano replaces a
smaller 5 1/2-foot Steinway baby
grand piano that Mr. Bahmann
described as “adequate but less
inspiring” in a space of this size. It
will be moved downstairs for use
by the junior choir, replacing a
piano that is perpetually out of
tune.
With its 2001 Italian-built Fratelli
Ruffatti mechanical action pipe
organ and now this piano, “this is a
most fortunate church and community,” he added.
Money for the purchase and
restoration was provided by the
generosity of the church’s
Hawes/Brayton Fund which sup-

ports musical endeavors. The
Music Committee intends to pay
the fund back through concerts
and contributions.
One initiative he’d love to see, Mr.
Walker said, would be to invite
piano teachers from Little Compton, Westport and Tiverton, where
most church members live, to
enter their best students into an
annual piano competition played
on the concert grand, perhaps with
a scholarship prize.
And there will be concerts and
recitals in the coming months and
years.
Antique piano dealer Kenneth
B. Brewer says of these pianos,
“The Chickering pianos built up
until around the Second World
War are considered to be second
to none and some of the concert
grands built around the period of
the late 1800’s to around 1925
have some of the most powerful
and rich sounds possible, especially in the bass.”
The firm got its start in 1823.
Among its pianos was a grand

Teachers picket a meeting back in September.
TEACHERS: Progress indicated in
school contract standoff
From Page 1
The teachers have contended
from the outset that Westport has
the money needed to pay for the
raises the union seeks.
But these latest developments
come the same week that the
town administrator cautioned
Selectmen that the town faces a
possible million dollar budget
shortfall in the coming year, one
that would make layoffs likely.
Teachers have been working
without a contract since the old
one expired August 31 — under
the same terms as the old contract.
Recently the committee sought
the help of a state mediator to
help bring the sides together.
The July contract deal that Mr.
Cottrill mentioned was reached
with the School Committee’s
negotiating team but ultimately
rejected by the full committee as
“not financially viable …In this
case, the single largest issue separating the parties is compensation,” the committee said in a
press release. “We value and
appreciate our teachers and the
contributions that they make
toward educating our children,
however, we need to balance this
value with the ability of the
School Committee and the Town
to compensate teachers based
on the resources available.”
That decision prompted a
standoff between committee and
teachers’ union. Teachers picketed School Committee meetings
and, in late September the union
went to work-to-rule status.
Teachers will continue to do
the “countless” things they do
each day for students, Mr. Cottrill said at the time. “However
we’re no longer volunteering to
do things outside of our workday
until such time as we’re supported by the town and the school
committee. The school committee can not force our teachers to
volunteer for things outside of
the school day.”
The committee replied by
posting a long list of middle and
Wednesday, December 10th

high school jobs, including
coaching and leaders of
extracurricular activities, that
needed filling.
At the same time that teachers
halted their work-to-rule stance
Tuesday, Mr. Cottrill wrote a letter to the newspaper in which he
answered published calls that
contract numbers be released by
both sides.
“I have numbers. They may not
be the numbers you are seeking,
nor are they convenient,” he
wrote. His ‘numbers’ included
the act that the property tax rate
in Westport is half that of his
home town of Swansea, that
standardized test scores of students he teachers are well above
state averages, and that Westport
teachers are “paid 15% less than
the average of all surrounding
communities. This quite frankly
is a disgrace.”

Let us give thanks
F
or these things, too, we
are thankful …
■ That heating oil and
gasoline have dipped
below $3 a gallon. Enjoy
this treat while it lasts — surely the
powers that be are contriving some
crisis to push both back where they
belong (witness the electric bill).
■ For the gift of music, holidays
and anytime, we are blessed— a truly ‘grand’ piano to join that magnificent United Congregational Church
organ, intimate concerts from
Sandywoods, Common Fence Point,
Westport Point, Greater Tiverton
Community Chorus, Westport Rivers
Vineyards at sunset …
■ That elections are done and with
them tedious ‘That’s my Nellie,’
Fung v. Raimondo etc. ads. Now the
evening news is back to the usual
upbeat fare of miracle meds for baby
boomers.
■ That we don’t live in Buffalo.
■ For observant police and neighbors who helped catch, among
many others …
— A Westport man who was selling
the neighbors’ cars for scrap.
—The duo who stole intricate
seashell ‘Sailors’ Valentines’ from a
Westport restaurant. This would be a
happier outcome if only the thieves
would share the real story about
what happened to the artwork.
— The trio caught recently in the
act of cutting copper pipe from the
basement of a house for sale (doing,
as usual, tens of thousands of dollars damage for a couple hundred in
cash).
■ For imaginative people in our
midst:
— The lobster boat duo who, by
parking in the way of a coal
freighter, brought nationwide attention to the causes of clean air and
global warming.
— Westport’s Roger Chandanais,
whose unusual creations (i.e. the salvage vessel Little Newt), and Texasstyle dance hall have kept the town
entertained for decades. May next
year treat him better than this year
(his beloved wife passed away in July,
his house burned in September).
— Westport firefighter Steve Lopes
whose hilarious ‘Portuguese Fireman’ routines have entertained
thousands and raised thousands for
good causes. May he continue on
the road to full recovery.
■ For sweet outcomes:
— The Tiverton Yacht Club finally
gets to rebuild … Too bad it took
nearly a dozen years after the fire
and most of the club’s bank account.
— The quick Tiverton/Portsmouth
Sakonnet crossing doesn’t cost $5 —
each way. Credit unified outcry,
some first-rate representation and
common sense. There’s no understating the bad things that toll
would have done to these towns.
— Seaside Gas is gone — Tiverton
has its best view back.
■ For agencies not too big too
admit mistakes. Rhode Island’s
Department of Transportation, for
instance, which agreed to remove
those despised rumble strips from
Main Road. Months earlier, this
same DOT rebuilt a brand new toonarrow Tiverton boat ramp. (Clearly
revealing plans beforehand might
have saved a bunch of money).
■ For those willing to help creatures in need — Hawk found with
gunshot-shattered wing in Tiverton;
hurt snowy owl ferried off Prudence
I., cormorant that somehow walked
into the Tiverton Fire Station with
fishhook in its wing.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Autumn’s leaf painters
Just after Westport’s line painting finished at the Harbor, the rains came, delaying the work at Cornell
Road by a week or two. “With the delay came the fortuitous accommodation of our leafy friends,” said
Alan Powers who took these photographs last week. “The result improved on the finger painting of
childhood. Oak leaves, maple and various ash have been captured in the shoulder lines, as in a vintage
botanical book.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Teacher contract:
Here are numbers that matter
To the editor:
I write in response to two opinion pieces recently published
titled, ‘Teacher Contract: Numbers please’ (Shorelines, 9/18) and
‘Residents need numbers in
school contract dispute’ (Shorelines 9/25). I also write directly to
the residents of Westport. I have
numbers. They may not be the
numbers you are seeking, nor are
they convenient. But first, it’s a
sad commentary on our society
when private businesses and private banks are given billions of
dollars in subsidies and bailouts,
but public educators, such as
myself, have to justify to an entire
community why we should be
paid a fair and equitable rate.
I get it. As taxpayers you foot
the bill. I’m a homeowner and
my Swansea taxes (12.84%) are
nearly double of those in Westport
(7.70%). Let me be clear, I’m not
suggesting you pay more taxes,
nor am I suggesting that your tax-
es be raised.
So here are my first numbers,
because our effectiveness was
called into question, 91% of my
students passed the Math MCAS
vs. 68% for the state. 73% of my
students passed the ELA MCAS
vs. 57% for the state. Sure, I’m
proud, but I’m certainly not
unique for Westport. Credit also
has to go to the teachers in previous grades who worked with
these same students.
This leads me to my second
numbers — the teachers of Westport are substantially underpaid.
This is nothing new. This has
been a chronic problem that has
been years in the making. A typical teacher in Westport holds a
bachelor’s degree and a master’s
degree and has worked at least 10
years in the district. These same
teachers are ranked 10th (from
the bottom) in the entire Commonwealth and last compared to
all surrounding communities.
We’re paid 15% less than the
average of all surrounding communities. This quite frankly is a
disgrace.
This is about comparing teachers to teachers. To compare us
to what you do and what you
make is unfair. If you’d like to
know more about what we do, I
invite you into my classroom, for
a day, a week, to experience what
it’s like. Until then, I won’t judge
what you do, please don’t judge
what I do.
Much has been made about us
beginning ‘work to rule’. Some
say we’re using the kids. We’ve
been shamed publicly. I ask
you, “When is enough, enough?”
When are the Town of Westport
and the Westport School Committee going to stand up and
support us. It’s long overdue.

Busy neighborhood no place for gun range
To the editor:
Realizing that our Town Council has passed an ordinance
regarding the operation of gun
ranges and that a single zoning
official signed off on the corner
of Haskins Avenue as an appropriate site for a commercial
indoor shooting range, I’d like to
inject some common sense
before a licensing decision is
made by elected officials.
Aerial views of the Tiverton
Rod and Gun Club and the corner of Main Road and Haskins
Avenue clearly show one rural
and isolated location and one
densely populated location.
The Tiverton Rod and Gun
Club purchased adjacent land so
that its operation would be further buffered from residences.
There is no buffer zone afforded
to the neighborhoods of Haskins
Avenue and Hambly and Main
Roads.
Some have asked why this
commercial use and not, for
instance, a racquet club or gym,
needs licensing. Again, some
common sense is needed. Guns
are lethal weapons. Let’s have
gun ranges where they belong —
tucked away in a wooded part of
town, not next to homes where
senior citizens live and school
children gather at bus stops.

Plan to evacuate middle school makes sense
To the editor:
The Westport School Committee
made the right decision in voting
to approve the administration’s
recommendation to close Westport Middle School at the end of
this school year.
The U.S. Environmental Agency
has been putting increasing pressure on the school department to
move students out of the middle
school building and/or remove or
encapsulate the PCB’s that remain
after a partial clean-up three years
ago.
An architect’s report last year
estimated this remediation work
would cost at least $8 million while
other needed renovations could
bring the total cost to $16 to $38
million.
Considering that the Massachusetts School Building Authority
does not provide financial assistance for PCB remediation, the
town would be “throwing good
money after bad” as one committee member said. Also, as another
member implied, there was no reason to risk the health and safety of
students and staff for another year,
even if the risk is unclear. This is
especially true since there are other alternatives for placement of
middle school students and staff.
The administration’s plan to
move Grade 7 and 8 to the high
school and Grade 6 to the elementary appears to be the best possible
educational plan given the circumstances.
Now it’s up to everyone to work
together to make the plan work.

COBRAS get early taste of high school life
BY KAREN ANTONELLI,
WHS assistant principal.
In September, 18 students
began their grade 8 year at Westport High School. After completing an application process last
year that included an essay, a
teacher recommendation, an
interview and a parent meeting,
these students were selected as
candidates who would thrive in a
challenging but supportive early
entrance to the high school environment.
These students will have a
strong voice in shaping many
aspects of the new grade 8 program. One of the first aspects of
their imprint has been to choose
a name that defines the group of
students. The C.O.B.R.A.S., or
Class Of Bright Responsible Awesome Students, is the name chosen by the students.
The course of study the students are taking aligns with the
Massachusetts Department of
Education curriculum for grade 8
English, math, science and social
studies and MCAS for grade 8 will
be administered in the spring.
High school elective courses
such as introduction to art, piano
and guitar, web design, journal-

ism as well as the first year of
either Spanish or Portuguese are
available for students to select to
fill out their schedules.
9am - 4pm
Saturday, December 6, 2014
The transition has been very
positive and in their own words
the students have commented
that what they like about WHS is,
“being able to play sports,” “loving Chorus class,” “the freedom
of having a break and the block
schedule,” and “the challenging
classes”. The high school teachers who are teaching grade 8
have found the students to be
exactly as their C.O.B.R.A. name
describes; bright and awesome.
Every grade 8 student has been
assigned a mentor from the upper
class leadership STEEL. The
S.T.E.E.L. and C.O.B.R.A. groups
recently participated in a field trip
at UMass Dartmouth, the Youth
Civic Engagement Summit, on
community
advocacy
and
involvement. The workshop
informed students of the power of
using their voice to make change,
and concluded with a food-packaging event to raise awareness
about the issue of hunger.
The academic focus is to provide students many of the pre AP
strategies of research, analysis
and critical thinking that will
provide a solid foundation as
they begin their high school
classes and enter into the AP curriculum. Parents were invited for
a coffee hour on Monday, Oct. 20,
and the students presented
exemplars of their work and
spoke about their positive Westport High School experience.
The event is FREE.

to benefit the East Bay Food Pantry.

From FACING PAGE
Church, 136 Rivet St. (corner of
County Street).
Director Judy Lemay encourages actors and potential actors to
attend. The audition will be a cold
reading from the script. The play,
based on actual events in 1934
Poland, is the story of a young
cloistered nun, Faustina, who has
a nearly impossible challenge. She
must create an inspired painting,
but she has neither the skills nor
the money for the task.
Inept at the most basic of the
convent’s kitchen work, she is also
surrounded by skeptics. Some of
the nuns suspect she’s not in her
right mind. When she finally finds
an artist she believes suitable to
create the painting she has imagined, he presents her biggest
obstacle yet. But, the young nun
has a couple of unexpected allies
on her side.
The play’s five-member cast
includes Faustina, a young
Roman Catholic nun; Irene, an
older nun and the community’s
mother directress; Sophie, a contemporary of Mother Irene;
Eugene, a curmudgeonly painter,
grizzled and gray; and Felix, a
young, ambitious priest.
The play is scheduled for production April 9 to 12.

A BioBlitz is coming to town.
For 24 hours non-stop — from 3
p.m. to 3 p.m., Friday and Saturday, June 12 and 13 — hundreds
of people from all over New England, will assemble on Veterans
Field for one purpose.
Organized into teams, they will
set out to determine what lives in
Little Compton and Westport
and to provide a snapshot of the
towns’ biodiversity.
The event is sponsored by the
Kingston-based Rhode Island
Natural History Survey (RINHS).
The Little Compton Town Council voted recently to support the
occasion and to offer the town as
the host.
Typically, said the RINHS,
BioBlitzes identify more than
1,000 species of animals and
plants in the 24-hour period.
Participants, said the RINHS,
will be “scientists, avocational
naturalists, students, and local
volunteers.” The organization
describes the event at its website
(search RINHS bioblitz).
Local organizer Hans Hawrysz
said the timing was chosen particularly to involve as many of
the hundreds of students at
Wilbur & McMahon School as
possible, for whom the event will
come at the tail end of the school
year. The school abuts what will
be the headquarters for the

this year on Saturday, Nov. 29,
This being a winery and brewery, wine tastings all day long ($5)
are among the offerings, but the
event is first and foremost a family
affair featuring talent and tastes
from around the region.
To go with the wine and beer,
the offerings include the wares of
lots of local vendors, including
pizza from VESTA Mobile WoodFired Pizza, Dartmouth Orchards,
Shy Brothers Cheese, Rays Kettle
Korn, Golden Touch Alpaca petting zoo, Hana’s Honey and more.
There will also be vineyard
hayrides all day long, hot cocoa,
kettle fires, Christmas music,
games for the youngsters and
those beautiful vineyard views.
Westport Town Farm invites visitors to help ‘raise the wreath’ on
the farm barn on Saturday, Dec. 6.
Participants can help create the
giant wreath and then stay for
light refreshments and conversation was the wreath is hung and lit
at dusk.
There’s also holiday themed
entertainment in the Central Village — Lees Market offers music
and events (check the store website), and Partner’s Village Store
will host a holiday open house on
Saturday, Dec. 13, with music, raffles, tastings and more.
Last year, the Westport Grange
hosted a holiday fair but a
spokesman said no such event is
scheduled this year.

event.
“Saturday is going to be Little
Compton nature day,” Mr.
Hawrysz said. The town and
nearby Westport have a large
number of nature-involved organizations, he said, and each
group will have a booth. This is
the only BioBlitz in New England.
The two habitats in town to
which the teams of speciescounters will deploy, will be the
Dundery Brook Trail and environs, and Sakonnet Point, Lloyds
Beach and the surrounding
grasslands.
“We are going to have a whole
effort to ask people what they
think Little Compton’s iconic
species are, what people have a
‘wow’ relationships with. We’re
going to see how many of these
iconic species we can find,” Mr.
Hawrysz said.
“Everybody
loves
these
events,” he said. “They attract
nature enthusiasts from everywhere, all over New England.”
“But the next question is,” he
said, “where do the species live,
and the next question after that
is, how do we preserve their
habitat.”
Veterans Field and the Town
Commons will serve as “Science
Central,” according to the agreement between the town and the
organizers at the RINHS, and
“will provide the space required
for the Science Central tent,
power for lighting and equipment, parking, camping and
sanitary facilities.”
How a BioBlitz works
The BioBlitz is managed by
staff at RINHS and a group of
local community representatives.
It is organized around specific
teams that each focuses on a
specific type of life or “taxa” (for
example, spiders, vascular
plants, amphibians and reptiles).
“Each team has a captain, who
helps direct the efforts of the
team and tabulates the findings.
All participants (experts and
novices) join a team that matches their interests or skills,” said
the RINHS.
“The large tents that serve as
Science Central will be the locations where the teams gather,
work, and results are tabulated,”
said the RINHS.
“The teams go out in the field
around he clock, using or crating
checklists to record their findings, and then report back to Science Central where the findings
are counted, compiled, and displayed.”
Participants must register in
advance, and must expect to pay
approximately $25-$40 as a registration fee.
The local hosts from Little
Compton will provide dinner on
Friday night for the participants
and invited guests, as well as
breakfast and coffee on Saturday.
A fee may be charged to participants who are not registered
team members.
BioBlitzes, said the RINHS,
“have been conducted around
the world and across the country
since 1998. The longest running
annual Bioblitz in the US has
been conducted by RINHS — 15
Bioblitzes in 15 RI communities
since 2000 — each operating in
conjunction with sponsorship by
local community host.”

New name but proposal still biggest ever here
Tiverton Glen would
include mall, hotel,
homes, more
Public comments
BY TOM K ILLIN DALGLISH
tdalglish@eastbaynewspapers,com
TIVERTON — The developer
revealed some changes and a new
name at last week’s latest hearing
on what would be the biggest
development ever for Tiverton, one
that would have significant impact
on the town’s neighbors.
Among the revisions to the project formerly know as Tiverton
Crossings was a name change —
unmentioned at the hearing —
that appeared on a newly released
drawing of the project. Developer
Carpionato Properties presented
its latest version to the audience of
around 75 people that gathered at
Tiverton High School Thursday
evening, Oct. 20.
The project is now called “Tiverton Glen.”
Beyond changes to the project
itself was a noticeable difference —
between Thursday’s hearing and
prior hearings — in audience reaction to the plan. This go-around it
was more favorable.
Last Thursday’s hearing, attended by an audience of around 75
people, was the latest in a series of
hearings the planning board is
holding on the massive project.
The evening began with the
developer’s presentation, outlining
its revisions to the project. Speaking for the Carpionato group was
the company’s Senior Vice President, Kelly Coates, who prefaced
his comments with the observation that anyone who saw the signs
in town, that say, “Don’t Mall Tiverton,” would have a “giggle.”
“We are not proposing a mall,”
he said of the group’s plans.
What is proposed is the largestever development in Tiverton, that
would occupy a 63.4 acre site along
Route 24, roughly between Main
and Fish Roads, and be built over
several years at a projected cost of
$80-$100 million.
The project would include a
score of buildings — a hotel,
restaurants, retail businesses, luxury residential units, office space
with ancillary light industrial uses,
research and development facilities, commercial and professional
office space, and one large retail
building.
As the three-hour hearing progressed, it became clear that supporters of the projected development in the audience outnumbered opponents.
At prior hearings in August and
September, most in the audience
opposed the development.
But this time, applause broke out
often to underscore speakers’ comments in support of the project.
Asked about this show of support after the hearing, and about
reports that Carpionato had met
with residents in the Villages at
Mount Hope Bay ahead of time
and encouraged them to attend
the hearing and write e-mails to
the planning board chairman in
support of the project, Mr. Coates
confirmed that his group had
indeed met with residents at the
Villages.
We’ve met with them, he said,
and also with residents along
Souza Road, he said, and we’ll meet
with anyone. He said he encourages anyone to call his office to
arrange a meeting.
Mr. Coates, accompanied at the
podium by half a dozen advisors,
identified changes in the project
that had been made in the recently
revised Master Plan.
“The hotel has been moved
upstairs, to the upper level” of the
development, he said. In its place,
fronting on Main Road, will be an
expanded “historic barn style”
restaurant and conference facility.
“They’re in high demand,” he said.
“We have great experience running
conference facilities.”
An area in back of this building,
between it and Main Road, will be a
formal garden, suitable for weddings and a tent.
A number of other alterations in
the plans the Carpionato group
identified include:
■ The existing historic home on
Main Road will stay in place;
■The Main Road entrance to the
development, alongside the home,
has been narrowed from four lanes
to three;
■ Parking has been decreased
from 2,800 cars to 2,566;
■ The number of residential
units has been reduced from 120 to
90;
■ Buffering has substantially
increased by 40 percent, and
entrances from Souza Road have
been shifted to accommodate wetlands.
In some respects the project has
grown. The revised site plan states
that the hotel will be larger than
originally presented (up from
61,000 square feet to 85,225 square
feet); the number of buildings has
increased, from 18 to 20; and the
restaurant is larger (from 22,000 SF
to 32,000 SF).
“The overall percentage of rental
space has not been reduced,” said
Mr. Coates. The revised site plan
shows the net leasable area has
remained about the same: previously it was 627,679 SF, and is now
revised down to 602,095 SF.

Planning Board Vice Chairman
Stu Hardy began the questioning
with concerns about the four stop
lights on Main Road that would be
installed between Route 24 and the
entrance to the development — a
quarter-mile stretch of road to the
north.
He foresaw congestion, and difficulty and danger entering Main
Road from the side roads, especially with limited sight lines at one or
two of the intersections.
Superintendent of Schools
William Rearick had earlier
expressed concerns about school
buses causing congestion as they
encounter the series of lights on
Main Road.
The lights will be coordinated to
smooth the flow, Carpionato representatives said.
At the upper level of the development site, a kind of platea, where
the buildings would be located,
“there are no green areas set aside
where people can sit,” said board
chairman Stephen Hughes.
“We can increase that kind of
space and have it ready for the next
meeting,” said Mr. Coates.
Mr. Hardy asked about bicycle
and pedestrian traffic on Souza
Road, to which David Taglianetti, a
consultant to Carpionato, said
Tiverton’s police chief had
expressed safety concerns about
pedestrian traffic on Souza Road.
“I think the police chief’s comments are irrelevant,” said Mr.
Hardy, in apparent reference to the
need for plans for sidewalks and
bikeways there.
Renee Jones said Carpionato is
“selling the sizzle and not the
steak,” and read a letter from Laura
Epke, who said she didn’t believe
the cost benefits to the town had
been assessed, and called for a
report from the town tax assessor
David Robert.
“It could be the town will not
realize tax revenues for several
years,” Ms. Epke said in her letter.
Randy Lebeau said, “I’m for this
project.”
“Carpionato is coming to town,”
he said. “Great. We need this project to go through.”
“At what point does the hotel get
built, and is there a guarantee it will
be built,” asked Mike Burk.
“We really need to energize our
town,” said Barbara Pelletier, who
said that the overall portion of the
town that would be occupied by
the project would be very small.
“If you live on Main Road for
heaven’s sake you better expect
change,” she said.
A Colonial Avenue resident who
supported the project said, “I can’t
remember the last time when I
have felt so much excitement. If I
want open space, I’ll go to south
Tiverton. I say, go for it.”

‘Bird of courage’ steadfast and resourceful Christmas begins now
As the days grow shorter and
colder and we prepare for the
winter days ahead, wild creatures in the woods and meadows
also prepare for spare days
ahead. Wild turkeys, a traditional
symbol of autumn and Thanksgiving, spend their days foraging
for insects, nuts and seeds.
These large, ground fowl are
once again a common sight in
the forests and fields of New England. Once an important staple
in the diet of New England Native
American tribes, Europeans
nearly hunted turkeys to local
extinction by 1900. In the 1940s,
human-led breeding and reintroduction programs began and
grew to include almost every
state except Alaska. “Today,
turkey
populations
have
rebounded, and the population
is thriving despite having to cope
with
diminished
habitat,”
explains Audubon naturalist Kim
Calcagno. “It is not uncommon
for wild turkeys to be found in
suburban and urban areas
around Rhode Island with regularity. Turkeys are steadfast and
inquisitive. They will come close
to houses to enjoy bird feeders
and will often spend time picking
insects off of garden plants.”
Turkeys will wander and forage
individually or in groups of up to
50 or more. “Usually, the group
will be comprised of a number of
females, sometimes called ‘jennies’, and their offspring, including one or more immature
males,” says Calcagno. “Mature

males or ‘toms’ stake out mating
territories, called leks, on which
they will call and strut and display for the females. When
parading about, the male will
puff up and fan out his tail, drag
and rattle his wings and tuck up
his head to cut off the circulation
to his head so it turns blue/red.
His snood and wattle on his face
will elongate — all in an attempt
to show off for the females, who
will appraise his health and
strength and decide whether
they will mate with him. The
male attempts to gather ‘harems’
of interested females in his lek
area.”
If a male wild turkey is challenged by another male in his
territory, they will both display
and physically fight with their
rivals, biting each other’s faces,
batting each other with their
wings and kicking with their
spiked legs to inflict injury.

Bessie’s recently conserved gowns that she might have worn for a special occasion in the 1890s. The scene will be set with drawing room furniture from the Collection, paintings, silver, linens, and china; and the
family’s antique Christmas crèche. For more information, visit Blithewold.org.

cereal can go horribly wrong: Charlie’s just
“had one,” and the galley looks like a scene
from Scarface after the milk container
decided to make a run for it.”
After a five-leg inshore race that treated
spectators to big breeze, great speed and
lead changes, the fleet is in the early stages
of a 6,125 nautical mile course to Abu
Dhabi.
“We’re expecting a pretty heinous sea
state,” said 30-year-old Bristol resident
Charlie Enright, skipper of Team Alvimedica. “The first two nights are going to be difficult to manage. The breeze is up for the
first night, then the breeze drops off for the
day and picks up again as we cross the
Agulhas Current on the second night.”
“The three strongest Western boundary
currents in the world are the Gulf Stream
off the Eastern coast of the USA, the East
Australian current off Australia, and the
Agulhas Current off the east coast of
Africa,” said Alvimedica navigator Will
Oxley. “We can see 4, even 5 knots, flowing
towards the south, and the wind is coming
from the south. So that creates standing
waves. The current is only about 80 miles
wide at the moment, but it’s still boatbreaking conditions – we have to be careful
of that.”
The temptation might have been to ease
off a bit to protect gear in the rough seas
but that couldn’t happen as the boats battled it out within eyesight of one another.
By early Thursday, only 7.2 nm separated
the entire fleet.

Many people have heard the story about Benjamin Franklin arguing that the tenacious wild turkey
should be our national bird, not
the bald eagle. It’s true. He wrote in
a letter that he thought the bald
eagle, with its scavenging and
thieving ways, was not a fit symbol
and that the wild turkey was a hard
working and respectable bird. He
called it a “bird of courage” that
would not hesitate to defend his

Why go out and buy a turkey for Thanksgiving when there are
several wandering around my yard? Can’t I just…take one?
Well, actually you can, but there is a strict set of guidelines you
have to follow if you do not want to break the law (all of which
can be found at dem.ri.gov). In the East Bay, you will have to be in
Tiverton or Little Compton. You must have a turkey permit as well
as a valid hunting license, and choose your weapon wisely: you are
limited to 10, 12, 16 or 20-gauge shotguns, with shot sizes 4, 5, or
6, or a longbow of not less than 40 pounds pull. Crossbows and
other guns are not permitted. You cannot use live decoys, dogs, or
snares. If this doesn’t sound like a nuisance to you, then you are
likely a seasoned hunter and already knew the rules. The rest of us
should probably just get to the store/butcher/farm and buy one:
pop-up timer optional.
red, (pink) white or blue.
Although wild turkeys are dark
overall, they have a bronze-green
iridescence to most of their
plumage.
Although usually spotted on the
ground foraging for food, turkeys
fly up into trees to roost in groups
at night.
Turkeys’ “gobbles” can be heard
a mile or more away.
Wild turkeys can run about 25
miles per hour.
A young turkey is out of the nest
and walking around searching for
food within 24 hours of hatching.
The wild turkey is North America’s second largest native bird, after
the trumpeter swan.

Linden Place Museum, located
in downtown Bristol, is celebrating the holiday season with tours
of the 200-year old Federal-style
mansion beginning Thanksgiving
weekend
and
continuing
throughout the month of December.
Feel like a personal guest of the
Colt family as you stroll through
the festively decorated mansion
rooms complete with beautiful
wreaths, illuminated mantles and
evergreen swags. From the festooned four-story spiral staircase
to the breathtaking ceiling-high
Christmas tree in the gothic conservatory to the charm of the early
20th century butler’s pantry, surprises await visitors around every
corner.
This year, a multi-room exhibit
“If You Lived Here Long Ago” will
be part of the celebration. Have
you ever wondered what it was
like to be a kid two hundred years
ago? What clothes you would have
worn? What chores children were
expected to do around the house?
This hands-on tour for kids will
answer these fun questions and
more. Each room inside Linden
Place has an exhibit where kids
can imagine what life would have
been like in 1810 when Linden
Place was built.
Linden Place Mansion and
Museum Store, where you will
find beautiful one-of-a-kind gifts,
will be open Tuesdays through
Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 5

POLI-TICKS
F
Has anything really changed?
ormer Common Cause
executive director, Phil
West, is making the rounds
at local bookstores to promote his
book, “Secrets and Scandals:
Reforming Rhode Island 19862006”. Recently,
he was at Barrington Books.
Much of the presentation that
evening focused
on the “secrets”
behind the
scenes where
Arlene
legislative loyalty
VIOLET
to conflicted
General Assembly leaders led to
catastrophic results for citizens.
Exhibit number 1 was the failure
of the legislature and Governor
Edward DiPrete to prevent the
RISDIC credit unions from crashing and holding average people’s
money hostage for many months.
Businesses failed and many a citizen had health problems stemming from the fear of losing their
life savings.
Examples of self-dealing
abound in the book. Meg Curran,
a talented appellate attorney, had
her nomination to the Rhode
Island Supreme Court snuffed out
because she wasn’t a “sure vote”
on a separation of powers challenge where Assembly leadership
wanted a ruling to secure their
grip on power. Save the Bay, a stellar environmental organization,
had a sound program for marsh
preservation. The effort bit the
dust because its board of directors
had the temerity to join a coalition
urging the separation of powers.
Rank and file legislators were punished if they tried to open up the
“sausage making” process of politics by transparency. Stunningly, a
theme in the book is how General
Assembly powerbrokers persistently made decisions to feather
their own nests with nary a
thought to the public good.
Has much changed ? The Providence Journal reported several
stories which indicate “NO”!
Here’s one:
Former Attorney General Patrick
Lynch lobbied his former office
several times on behalf of clients
but never registered as a state lobbyist. He pushed incumbent, Peter
Kilmartin, to decline signing on to
an Attorneys General-led initiative
to ban online gambling. A seasoned prosecutor sent an email
congratulating Lynch on his excellent advocacy. What is most
astounding about the story, however, is that 3 people, i.e. a present
and past attorney general and a
deputy attorney general, never
thought twice about whether Mr.
Lynch was registered as a lobbyist.
Even more disturbing is the politicization of that office by Mr.
Lynch. His business’ website touts
his experience as an attorney general who guides his clients
through the national network of
attorneys general associations and
works with them to build relationships and tailor a communications and outreach plan “specific
to their needs.” In other words, he
trades on his past associations
with current attorneys general to
help his clients trump the proposition that the attorney general is
supposed to be the people’s attorney not businesses’ lackey.
It’s not surprising. Prior to his
election Mr. Lynch lobbied for the
development of a controversial
industrial park which ultimately
cost taxpayers $16 million. The
development was linked to the
Resource and Recovery Corporation (RCC) where malfeasance
abounded. As Attorney General
Mr. Lynch let the statute of limitations run out on any action
against board members of RCC.
Ditto for his inaction against his
buddy, Mayor Charles Moreau.
When state agencies (including
himself) failed to report compensation paid to outside consultants,
he did nothing. Thousands of dollars of charges for private cell
phone use by his Pawtucket crony,
then-speaker John Harwood and
others, and the legislative program
which “sold” computers to
unknown people at a fraction of
their costs all went uninvestigated.
Now he wants to politicize other attorneys generals as well.
Same-ol’, same-ol’.
NO FLUKE
DEM’s “Lean” initiative big success
D
on’t you love it when a
plan comes together? It
did last Thursday night
at the URI Graduate School of
Oceanography as
commercial fishermen met at a
Department of
Environmental
Management
(DEM) workshop
and public hearing to discuss
summer flounder
Capt. Dave
(fluke), scup,
MONTI
black sea bass
and monk fish regulations for
2015.
In the past fisherman and
Department of Environmental
Management (DEM) staff would
meet separate nights for each
species and then have a public
hearing. Last Thursday it all got
done in one night. The new format, initiated by DEM Director
Janet Coit’s Lean Initiative for the
department, enhanced participation (about 35 fishermen were
present) and the information to
base input on was fresh.
Fishermen listened to historical
fishing activity, fishing stock
assessments and status and recommendations for each of the
species and then were able to
comment, make suggestions and
recommendations on how to
handle regulations. The workshops were followed by a public
hearing.
Although the meeting went
well, there was healthy debate,
most of which focused on summer flounder. Quotas for the year
were slightly enhanced due to
NOAA putting a hold on its
Research Set Aside program,
shifting quotas from the program
to state quotas.
Gillnet fishermen who set nets
in a stationary place wanted
aggregate quotas and not daily
quotas. Patrick Duckworth, a gillnet fisherman said, “We go to the
net one day and there is nothing
in it… the next day we might be
lucky and catch a lot of fish… if a
daily quota rather than an aggregate quota is in place we end up
throwing back fish… so I am not
in favor of daily quotas.”
Jerry Carvalho of the Rhode
Island Fishermen’s Alliance, who
advocated for daily quotas with
no aggregate in summer and fall
said, “We are fishing for all residents of the State of Rhode
Island, everyone has a right to the
fish. Daily quotas will give
inshore fishermen the same right
to the fish that offshore boats
have.”
Donald Fox, owner of offshore
trawlers, said, “We do not what
the rules to change, the exemption certificate and aggregate program in place allows us to harvest
fish when we find them… moving
to a daily quota with no aggregate
will hurt offshore trawlers.” The
cost of fuel to operate larger boats
offshore alone would make it
impractical for the trawlers to fish
if rules were to change as they
would not be able to catch
enough fish on a trip.
This is what a workshop and
public hearing is supported to be
about. People express their point
of view. You have multiple user
groups all vying for the same
resource. After listening to input
from fishermen, DEM staff members make a recommendation on
how specie regulations should be
in 2015, the Rhode Island Marine
Fisheries Council votes on regulation recommendations, and then
all the information… the public
comments, DEM staff recommendations and RIMFC recommendations go to Director Coit for a final
decision and regulation implementation.
I do love when a plan comes
together. Congratulations to Janet
Coit and her staff for improving
upon a government regulation
process. It will save tax payers and
fishermen thousands of dollars
and hours of time while enhancing the process for fishermen.
Where’s the bite?
Cod and tautog fishing remain
strong. Charter and party boats
are still fishing. Visit rifishing.com
to select one that suits your needs.

Association website with over 60

their websites, rates and information.

master license and a charter
fishing license. Contact or

etween Thanksgiving,
Hanukkah, Christmas,
and New Year’s, there are
lots of holiday parties to attend
this time of year, with virtually
endless amounts
of high-calorie
appetizers,
desserts, and
cocktails. It can
be tempting to
overload on finger foods, espeEmily
cially when the
DELCONTE party doesn’t
include a main
meal. Here are some ways to navigate these food festivities:
1. Eat off a small plate. Grab a
small cocktail plate, and fill it with
the appetizers and/or desserts you
would like. Then walk away from
the display of food and enjoy what
you’ve put on your plate.
2. Don’t sit at the table with
food. Sitting with all of the treats
in front of you makes it a lot easier
to mindlessly eat.
3. Always have a glass of water
in your hand. By carrying around
a glass of water, you are keeping
your hands and mouth occupied
with a task other than eating. Plus,
by staying hydrated, you are less
likely to overeat.
4. Look for protein and vegetables. Focus on the proteins and
veggies provided. Pick nuts or
cheese or sliced carrots or peppers
with dip. Eating these foods will
help to fill you up and stay full
longer.
5. Socialize. Enjoy the party.
Great conversation will distract
you from overeating. Talk to fami-

'Christmas in Connecticut' in Barrington

"Christmas in Connecticut." Barbara
Stanwyck plays Elizabeth Lane, a magazine columnist whose readers think
that she is a “domestic goddess,” creating wonderful meals for her husband
and child at their idyllic Connecticut
farm. The truth is that Elizabeth is actually a single gal who lives in a Manhattan apartment and who couldn’t boil an
egg if her life depended on it. When her
boss (Sydney Greenstreet) invites himself and a recently returned Navy war
hero (Dennis Morgan) to her home for
Christmas, Elizabeth must find a way to
keep up the ruse or risk losing her job.

MEET JOANNA KRYSTMAN: FROM POLAND TO TIVERTON, SHE FOUND HOME
BY JOAN D. WARREN
Joanna Krystman lives in Tiverton and
feels she truly belongs in Rhode Island.
She feels blessed to be near the water
every day.
After leaving her homeland of Poland in
1985 and living in Greece for two years
while waiting for a visa to the States, she
arrived in Michigan and studied to become
a computer programmer. She came to
Rhode Island in the late 1990s and is so
thankful for the community and her proximity to Narragansett Bay.
As a team member of Coldwell Banker
Guimond Realty Group, Joanna prides herself to be a part of the firm's 35 years of
real estate brokerage in the Southeastern
Massachusetts and Rhode Island areas.
She is the mother of three children.
WHY A CAREER IN REAL ESTATE?
"I love people. To me, real estate is
about helping people through an exciting
and challenging experience. When I first
came to this country in 1987, I met some
very helpful agents, and I guess that is
when I first thought about real estate as a
career."
PAST JOBS/CAREERS: "When I lived
in Poland, I was a decorator for some very
large department stores in my home city. It
was creative and fun. When I came to the
States, we lived in Grand Rapids, Mich.,
where I trained to become a computer programmer. I continued that profession when
we moved to Washington state and when
we came to Rhode Island. I began training
and working in real estate when we lived
in Pawtucket."
MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF
REAL ESTATE: "I love helping buyers
search for homes. It certainly is more time
consuming than listing a home, but I guess
I am a natural shopper so I love to assist
buyers. I am proud to be an Accredited
Buyer’s Representative."
HOBBIES: "My husband, Paul
Anderson, and I love to spend as much
time as possible on out boat, Meander. It
not a big boat, but it gives us the opportunity to cruise around Narragansett Bay and
nearby Massachusetts and visit some very
beautiful places. We have met many wonderful people through cruising our local
waters. I also love to fish."
VOLUNTEER WORK: "I have always
Joanna Krystman
Guimond Realty
401-263-6550
enjoyed working with dogs and have volunteered as a dog walker."
BEST DAY OFF: "A summer boat trip
to Cuttyhunk Island with our dogs, Jack
and Cooper, for a picnic and hike."
LUNCH WITH ANYONE: "I really
miss my daughter, Anya, who lives in
Australia. I would love to have lunch with
her at a waterfront restaurant in
Melbourne, Australia."
BEACH OR MOUNTAINS: "The
beach. Or near the beach. Or looking at
the beach from Meander. Or looking at
mountains from the beach."
MARKET PREDICTIONS: "Of course
no one really knows what is coming, but I
sense that more and more people are
attracted to our area because of its history
and beauty. I hope the economy continues
to improve so that young people can afford
to purchase a home in our beautiful New
England."
HOLIDAY FAMILY TRADITIONS:
"My favorite family tradition happens on
Christmas Eve. It is called Wigilia. Polish
families share a meal of 12 meatless dishes, including pierogi, with family and
friends. We 'break bread' together and
share a piece of the oplatek and a kind
word of thanks and appreciation with each
person at the table. Many of our neighbors
and friends have embraced this tradition
and we now need to set up three tables. It
is joyous but serious and sincere. I always
miss my family members, who can’t be
here, but I am happy to have so many
close friends willing to share to share this
tradition."

House of the Week
Every day is a day at the beach in Westport
The Cape Code-style
home on West Beach
Street in Westport has
a front-row seat to the
Atlantic Ocean.
An outdoor deck faces
the beach.
The property includes
a separate one-bedroom guest house,
also on the beach.
As temperatures drop in Southern
New England, many are dreaming of
warm summer days and long lazy
hours lounging on the beach.
Although winter has yet to officially
arrive, thinking ahead to summer is
what keeps many from suffering the
winter blues.
Actually owning a piece of oceanfront property in Westport could be a
dream come true. Waking up to the
sounds of the rolling waves and
frisky seagulls is possible on the
south coast of Massachusetts.
In fact, the property at 144 West
Beach Road is two properties for the
price of one.
On a spacious lot, enjoy more than
13,500 square feet of waterfront
oasis.
The main house has three bedrooms, and the guest house one bedroom, with sweeping views of Rhode
Island Sound and Buzzards Bay.
Built in 1938, the Cape Cod style
home is as quaint and New England
as can be.
It's all about the beach and barefoot
living on the ocean at this slice of
heaven. Wake up to bright sunrises
and end the day enjoying a glass
of wine on the deck as the sun
goes down in the western sky.
What a way to end a day surfing,
sailing or swimming right out
your front door.
No need to leave this paradise
and updated property. Easy to
maintain, bring your swim suit
and live carefree and more
importantly, stress-free.
Well water and electric heat
make the home a year-round
oasis.

Loan rates based on $100,000 with 20% down payment & no PMI. Variable mortgages listed are for 30 years, adjusted annually. Points are a one-time charge equal to one percent of the mortgage. APR stands for annual
percentage rate and reflects closing costs spread over the life of the loan. CAP is the most a variable mortgage can increase in one year. Savings and loans and Rhode Island loan and investment banks are included in the bank section of this chart. These rates, provided by the institutions on Monday of this week, are subject to change or special conditions. For more information, consumers are advised to call the institution. First-time homebuyers may qualify for lower-rate mortgages from the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation. Many
credit unions only grant loans to members and limit membership to a defined group. When shopping for mortgage rates ask for explanation of closing costs.
