‘Fox Run’ development proposes new approach to affordable housing
Builder wants to move
affordable housing units off-site

Standing near the western edge of the
property, Fred Almeida could see across the
sloping field and through a line of leafless
oaks at the edge of the Palmer River.
He could see the two barns that rest along
the northwestern boundary of the property,
the gold-colored grass that covered the field
and the backyards of the homes on nearby
Seaview Avenue.
He could also see clearly what he has
planned for the property.
Mr. Almeida, who lives in town and has
built numerous houses here, could picture
the 10 single-family homes that will cover
the 10-plus acres of land, the large yards,
the two-car garages, the handsome porches.
“I want to put in a nice development,” Mr.
Almeida said during a recent visit to the
property, which runs to the east of Sowams
Road. “It will be like Seaview and River Oak
Road.”
Mr. Almeida plans to build the 10 homes
— each will be between 3,000 and 4,000
square-feet in size — on half-acre-plus lots.
The homes will range in price from
$750,000 to $950,000, he said, and be
unique in style.
“All colonials,” he said, “with attached
garages.”

But before Mr. Almeida can begin digging
the first foundation, he must attend a planning board meeting for pre-application and
concept review.
Part of the local builder’s plan — the part
that makes it unique — is to include the
affordable housing component in an
entirely different neighborhood.

Two teams of Barrington Middle School students have qualified to compete at the First Lego
League robotics state championship next month.
Team Copyrighted and The
Variables earned invitations to
states with strong showings at a
competition held at The Gordon
School in East Providence.
Team Copyrighted is comprised of seventh-graders Anna
Li and Kevin Zhu, sixth-graders
Venus Tian and Anastasia Vargas,
and eighth-graders Bobby Dubel,
Nick Li, Calvin Li, Johnny Zhang
and Nick Goltsos. They scored
well in all three phases of the
competition — core values, robot
design and their project, which is
focused on making learning
about other cultures more interesting — and brought home the
Champions Award.
The group, led by Bobby
Dubel, developed a website that
allows students and teachers to
connect from all over the world.
If someone is interested in learning French they can simply visit
the site and pop into a classroom
in France.

FOX RUN: ‘There’s no need to include (affordable housing) on site’
From Page 1
Avenue and another on Bosworth
Street — affordable, as opposed to
including two additional homes in
the development that would be
priced at the low- to moderateincome level. He said he will deedrestrict the apartments so that
they remain affordable for the
next 30 years, fulfilling the inclusionary zoning requirement.
“There’s no need to include
(affordable housing) on site,” said
Mr. Almeida, referring to the
Sowams development which he
plans to call Fox Run.
Steven Martin, the chairman of
the town’s housing board, said Mr.
Almeida’s plan to move the affordable housing component off-site
will be a win-win for the community.
“Personally, I think it’s a good
idea,” he said.
Mr. Martin said the developer
would face a predicament if he
were to keep the affordable housing on-site. Regulations specify
that affordable housing units
included in a development must
look exactly like the other marketrate units. That would mean Mr.
Almeida would face a potential
financial loss, having to sell two
large, high-end homes for wellbelow market value.
Mr. Martin said the plan to
include the affordable housing
off-site allows Mr. Almeida to sell
all 10 units on Fox Run at market
value while still adding two units
of low- to-moderate-income level
housing to the town’s overall
stock. (A state law stipulates that
each community in Rhode Island
should offer 10 percent of its
housing stock at the affordable
level.)
Mr. Martin said Fox Run will
also add important tax revenue to
the town’s coffers in the future.
Mr. Almeida said he has already
signed a purchase-and-sale agreement with the property owner, the
Stanley Revocable Trust, and is
hopeful that the upcoming meet-

ing with the planning board will
go well.
“I could have used the density
bonus,” said Mr. Almeida, referring to an allowance offered for
including affordable housing. “I
could have gotten two more units
here, but I didn’t want that. I want
a real nice development.”
Mr. Almeida plans to deedrestrict one of the apartments at
his multi-family home at 44 Maple
Ave. — a three-bedroom, firstfloor unit. The other affordable
unit would be a one-bedroom,
second floor unit at 20 Bosworth

June Speakman, the council
president and a proponent of
affordable housing, said she was
not opposed to the idea of locating the affordable units off-site
from developments, but wanted
to make sure that affordable housing is dispersed all over Barrington
and not in just one neighborhood.
“It really does depend on the
specifics of the plan,” she said.

Fox Run details
Barrington builder Fred Almeida plans to construct a new subdivision
off Sowams Road, pending planning board approval. Following are
some of the details about the project:
■ 10 single-family homes on 10-plus acres
■ Homes will range from 3,000 to 4,000 square-feet each
■ Homes will be built on half-acre-plus size lots
■ Homes will range in price from $750,000 to $950,000
which is located about a half-mile
south of the proposed Fox Run
development.
Mr. Almeida said he has spo-

of his proposed development
and has not heard any negative
responses.
Some NECAP Science scores slip
Fourth- and eighth-grade
students’ scores drop,
high school shows
improvement
BY JOSH BICKFORD
[email protected]
The scores are in. The review is
complete. And the results are not
great for Barrington.
The Rhode Island Department
of Education recently released
the results of the NECAP Science
assessments administered to
students last spring, and in Barrington scores were down at
every level except at the high
school.
About 66 percent of the local
fourth-graders tested in May
scored at or above the proficient
level, which was a drop from the
prior year, which had about 68
percent score at the proficient level.
For Barrington’s eighth-graders,
71 scored at the proficient level in
2013, but that figure dropped to
about 55 percent in 2014.
The news was better at Barrington High School, where about 67
percent of the eleventh-graders
tested this year scored at or above
the proficient level, which was 10
percentage points better than in
2013.
The drop in scores has been a
trend at the elementary and middle school levels in Barrington.
According to information provided by RIDE officials, about 70
percent of the Barrington fourthgraders tested in 2008 were at or
above the proficient mark. That’s
NECAP Science scores

four percentage points better than
this year. And 64 percent of the
eighth-graders tested in 2008 were
proficient — 8 percentage points
better than this year’s group.
“Although I am concerned
about the decline in scores this
year among students in grade 8, I
am pleased to see the long-term
improvements our high school
students have made in science
achievement,” said Patrick A. Guida, chairman of the Council on
Elementary and Secondary Education and member of the Barrington School Committee.
“We are committed to providing
students with challenging high
school science courses, including
advanced-placement courses and
dual-enrollment courses that can
provide high-school students with
college credits.”
The release of this year’s NECAP
Science assessment results was
delayed because school officials in
Barrington and at a few other districts in Rhode Island recognized
lower-than-expected results on
certain portions of the exam.
“On review of the results, (RIDE)
Commissioner (Deborah) Gist
and several superintendents were
concerned about the scores some
ROOT CAUSE AND EFFECT
In the event that tooth decay penetrates
the tooth’s crown and pierces the root chamber, the root becomes infected with all the
attendant pain. At this point, the patient has
the choice of having the tooth extracted or
undergoing “root canal treatment.” Extraction
is a quick fix that poses two drawbacks. The
first is that the gap left behind must be filled.
The second is that, when teeth are extracted,
the supporting bone under the gum shrinks.
Thus, as a general rule, it is best to keep the
roots of natural teeth as long as possible. A
tooth with an infected root can usually be
saved with root canal treatment, after which
an artificial crown can be set in place.
Modern root canal therapy can usually be
performed with little or no discomfort. At

P.S. Root canal treatment with a crown
restoration is a cost-effective way of treating
an infected tooth because it is usually less
expensive than extraction and placement of
an implant.

students received, particularly in
grades 4 and 8,” stated a press
release that accompanied the
NECAP Science scores.
“To ensure that the results were
accurate, Commissioner Gist
decided that RIDE would undertake a review of the science assessments and of the scoring process
and she decided to hold off on
release of the assessment results
until RIDE completed this review.
“RIDE has now completed this
review and can report that the
assessment itself and the scoring
process met all technical requirements needed to report results
accurately. Those conducting the
review did, however, find several
items on the assessments for grade
4 and grade 8 that were borderline
in meeting these requirements.
“RIDE is confident that the overall scores and proficiency levels are
accurate at the state level, though
RIDE urges some caution in use of
the grades 4 and 8 results at the
individual-student and school levels.”

Bridge lessons learned
on the bike path
N
o sooner had Rhode Island announced
plans to repair and repave the East Bay Bike
Path next summer than an anonymous critic had this to say on our website:
“What an unnecessary waste this will be. I
ride the bike path all the time and it is in fairly good shape.
Riding over the occasional bump is no big deal … Someone
at the DOT must have an uncle in the paving business.”
But it is a big deal, a welcome sign that someone upstate
may have learned a thing or two from the Sakonnet River
Bridge debacle.
Ever since the bridge was built in the 1950s, the state
seemed to share that poster’s take on infrastructure. The
occasional bump or crack, rust spots here and there, winter
sand and salt left lying around forever — no big deal.
And that’s pretty much how things went until the alarm
sounded. ‘This bridge is a wreck. We need to replace it now
or it could collapse. It will

an attraction that the state
loves to tout, is showing
its age except along the recently rebuilt northern end.
Odd sinkholes are multiplying near the Bristol-Warren line
(crews rough-patched a few of the bigger ones last week).
Some of these are deep enough to flip an unwary rider.
Roots have created a washboard effect in lots of places —
by the pond and behind the church in Barrington, beside
the park in Warren among other spots. These, too, are
becoming worse than merely uncomfortable and are growing more dramatic and numerous by the month.
Elsewhere, expansion cracks have opened up, two-inch
gaps down to the dirt that the state fills from time to time.
Under the Sakonnet River Bridge model, the strategy
would be to let the path crumble until it becomes unrideable. Then replace it at great cost and inconvenience (and
maybe find some way to toll the cyclists).
Instead, the state has decided to step in before it is
ruined. Someone up there is learning the value of taking
care of our things.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Leaf blowers vs. duck hunters
To the editor:
It’s late fall again, nearly winter.
The temperature drops, the wind
moves to the north, the waterfowl
begin their migration and the
anti-hunters start ranting in the
Barrington Times.
They complain about various
aspects of legal waterfowling and
how their realtor didn’t tell them
what it’s like to live near a coastal
marsh.
Waterfowling is a wonderful,
safe, appropriate tradition in our
East Bay marshes.
The waterfowling that occurs in
Barrington is legal and the
hunters are trained and licensed.
The gunshots that accompany
this worthy pastime are the sound
of tradition; the sound of legal,
ethical, fun, regulated, delicious
hunting.
When I see 500 Brant flying up
the Palmer River or a flock of Mallards and Black Duck circling
Hundred Acre Cove or a “V” of
Canada Geese coming down from
Swansea or Rehoboth, I think
about the thousands of humans
and hunters who have been here
before me and observed the same
gorgeous migration.
I choose hunting as a way to get
outside and participate in a fun,
traditional activity with family and
friends. I connect with our human
past in a way that many of us don’t
“Do you know what
I hear when I’m out
hunting? Leaf blowers
— all day long. I hear
my neighbors preening
their precious lawns
with leaf blowers.
I don’t like the leaf
blowers.”
get to experience any more — in
the harvest of wild animals; in the
personal and philosophical struggle of predator and prey; in life
and death.
Hunting is an honest and challenging interaction with nature as
God intended it.
Do you know what I hear when
I’m out hunting? Leaf blowers —
all day long. I hear my neighbors
preening their precious lawns
with leaf blowers. I don’t like the
leaf blowers. The leaf blowers are a
sound that many of us are more
accustomed to and more accepting of — but like the sound of
shotguns in a marsh, leaf blowers
are part of the landscape and I’ll
have to get used to it.
If you hear the pop of a shotgun
during these fantastic 60 days of
the waterfowl season, don’t fret
and go back to sleep or back to
your leaf blowing. Remember how
lucky we are to live in a thriving
ecosystem that supports migratory waterfowl in a state and a
nation that embraces legal, ethical
hunting.
And don’t be scared — get to
know a hunter, we’re nice.

Still can’t understand hunting in Barrington
To the editor:
Thank you and The East Bay
Times for keeping the hunting
issue in the forefront. Hunting
here is such an anomaly in 2015.
The whole thing is some kind of
social pheonomon where activity
recognized as loud and violent is
somehow normalized and integrated into our lives.
Yesterday it sounded like cannon fire a hundred yards away as
children played ball in the street
on a beautiful sunny afternoon.
Occasionally they were startled
by the loud noise and shrieked at
the blast. The contrast is stunning and unbelievable in a place
like Barrington.

This time of year is about
snow-covered fields and chilly
nights, about sledding and skiing.
It is not supposed to be about
mud puddles and clogged gutters
and soggy lawns.
There are some folks who
rejoice in warm winter weather,
who speak about Florida like it is
a Garden of Eden, who complain
at the mere thought of having to
pick up a snow shovel and clear a
walkway. They stand in line at the
post office and speak with wonder about the upcoming winter
solstice warm-up.
“I love this warm weather,” they
say, with grinchy smiles smeared
across their faces.
I cringe when I hear them.
There is something great about
the seasons, which is part of the
reason why I love living in New
England. I like the warmth of
summertime, the cool, crisp air of
autumn, and the cold bite of winter. And then there is snow. There
may be nothing as beautiful —
not a summer sunset or the
changing leaves of fall — as snow
falling from the sky. It is truly special.
There are paintings and photographs of farmhouses nestled
under blankets of snow that can
whisk you away to a magical
place, far from the grind and bustle of every day life. It is that
snow, I believe, that makes those
images wonderful.
And on Christmas, the magic of
snow only grows. But that’s not
going to happen this year — at
least not here.
Instead, we New Englanders
will be treated to the prospect of
a 54-degree Christmas Day — not
white as is promised in the holiday classic, just brown and green.
I have heard that each inch of
rain that falls is equal to a foot of
snow. Using that logic, this
recently forecasted storm would
have dropped about two feet of
white powdery goodness on us.
Now that would have made this
a Christmas to remember.

Neil Young as Old Man
I
n Nov. 2012, my son David
took me to Boston’s TD Garden to hear 67-year-old Neil
Young wow 10,000 fans with his
still powerful voice, his rhythmic
energy, and his brilliant musicianship. The concert was long,
loud, and wildly
compelling.
Once again playing with Crazy
Horse, Young
strummed and
sang for well
over two hours.
James
The TD Garden
ROSENBERG concert featured
lengthy and intricate instrumental work. In “Walk Like a Giant”
from his album, “Psychedelic
Pill,” for example, Young demonstrated his virtuosity on the electric guitar — with deliberate distortion and feedback supplied by
two twenty-foot amps — for 23
minutes.
As much as I like listening to
Young’s “electric self,” I find his
“acoustic self,” especially in his
early songs, more deeply satisfying. In particular, many of his
songs from the recording of his
1971 concert at Massey Hall in
Toronto seem to come from a
kinder, gentler place.
This past October, David took
me to another Neil Young concert
— this one a sell-out at Boston’s
3,600-seat Wang Theater. In
marked contrast to his extremely
loud electric concert at the TD
Garden, Young treated us to a
strictly acoustic solo performance
at the Wang. To the delight of the
packed house, many of his selections were songs that he first sang
more than 40 years ago.
Young is beginning to show his
age. He performed almost all of
his songs sitting down, primarily
on a spotlighted stool surrounded
by at least a half dozen of his guitars plus a banjo. From time to
time he would move to one of his
two pianos, and on one occasion
during his second set he mounted several steps to accompany
himself on his antique Esty reed
organ. Throughout the concert
Young kept on turning to his harmonica in order to add a certain
plaintive texture to his songs.
What added a particular
poignancy, a touch of bittersweet, to the performance was
the fact that, after a marriage of
36 years, Young had filed for
divorce from his wife Pegi this
past July. My son told me this
unsettling news as we were having dinner prior to the concert. I
have long been impressed with
the super-human effort Young
and Pegi have demonstrated in
providing for their profoundly
disabled son Ben, born with cerebral palsy in 1978. I have felt that
their selfless devotion to Ben —
their ongoing commitment to

California’s Bridge School for children with severe speech and
physical impairments, founded in
1986 by Pegi, along with Jim
Foreder and Dr. Marilyn Buzolich
— had made their marriage rock
solid. When I heard Young sing
love songs originally inspired by
Pegi, I confess to a confusion of
emotions. “Neil, tell me it isn’t
so!”
For me the climax of the concert came at the end of Young’s
first set, when he performed his
much loved “Old Man,” which
concerns an elderly foreman who
lived and worked on a ranch
Young bought at the very beginning of his career. Apparently, I
was not the only one deeply
affected by this song, for at its
conclusion, the audience erupted
with a standing ovation.
Two simple lines, “Old man
look at my life/I’m a lot like your
were” work their way, with minor
variations, throughout the lyrics,
which include such ventures into
poetry as, “Love lost, such a
cost/Give me things that don’t get
lost/Like a coin that won’t get
tossed/ Rolling home to you.”
What touched so many of us
hearing Young sing these words is
that Young has become the old
man about whom he had first
sung four decades ago. The
rancher is surely dead by now,
while Young has to face the anxiety and the vulnerability of the
years that lie ahead of him — just
as many in his audience are challenged to face their own transition from youth to old age.
Neil Young is now old; he
turned 69 this past November 12.
I was young when Young was
young; this past June I turned 70.
I walk with a cane. As the ushers
at the Wang Center watched me
climb several flights of stairs on
the way to our mezzanine seats,
they kept reassuring me that
there was an elevator nearby. I
responded to their concern by
reassuring them that I was fine
and that I needed the exercise.
As is the case with all of us of a
certain age, I have lived long
enough to see the unsullied
hopes and dreams of my youth
gradually replaced by the somewhat sullied but real satisfactions
and accomplishments that come
with being a senior citizen. Like
many in the audience, like Neil
Young himself, like the old man
in his song, I am now an old man,
full of years — for the most part,
well lived — years in which I continue to take comfort and nourishment.
“Old man, look at my life/I’m a
lot like you were.”

Should schools shrink
February vacation?
District is polling parents
about potential change to
school calendar
Officials in Barrington are asking parents of school children how
they would feel about a switch in
the February vacation schedule
for the 2015-16 school year.
The potential change calls for
the shortening of the normal
week-long break to a four-day
weekend surrounding the Presidents’ Day holiday.
Instead of having the full week
off, students would not have
school on Monday and Tuesday,
Feb. 15 and 16. They would report
back to class on Wednesday, Feb.
17.
The school year would start on
Aug. 31, 2015, and end June 20,
2016.
The non-altered version of the
2015-16 school calendar — which
keeps February vacation intact —
has students starting school on
Aug. 27, 2015 and school ending
June 20, 2016.
In an email sent out on Dec. 18,
Barrington school officials shared
a link to a survey.
“In response to parent, teacher,
and student suggestions regarding the start of the school year,
school
administration
and
teacher leadership have worked
collaboratively to propose a
revised calendar for the 2015-2016
school year.
“Concurrently, this year the
Rhode Island School Superintendents’ Association (RISSA) voted
unanimously for school systems
throughout the state to consider
revising or eliminating the February school vacation.”
The survey will reportedly help
school leaders “consider how to
move forward in the best interests
of our students.”

back to defeat Classical,
58-42
The Barrington High School
boys’ basketball team overcame a
sluggish start in its game against
Classical High School on Friday
night, Dec. 19, and pulled out a
58-42 victory.
Barrington, which was scheduled to play against Smithfield on
Monday night, improved to 4-0
with the win over Classical.
“We fell behind 23-12 at the 4
minute mark of the first half,” said
Barrington coach Patrick Sullivan
of the game against Classical.
“...So basically we went on a 46-19
run over the final 20 minutes of
the game.”
Barrington’s Matt DeWolf continued his strong play, leading the
Eagles with 21 points and 15
rebounds. Senior guard Corey
Daugherty finished with 18 points
and 6 assists.
“Kevin Mannix had a solid overall game as well,” added Sullivan.

BARRINGTON HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP
Barrington’s Kraunelis nets hat trick in 8-6 victory
Girls’ hockey team skates
to victory over Smithfield
Kelly Kraunelis scored three
goals and helped the Barrington
High School girls’ hockey coop
team to an 8-6 victory over Smithfield last week.
Barrington coach Deneen
Stebenne said Grace Flaherty also
played well while scoring one goal
and tallying five assists. Casie
Castello led the defensive effort
for the Eagles.
“Casie Castello has been solid
all season, much improved from
last year,” said Stebenne.
“We managed to win, 8-6 but it
was not pretty. We did not play
well in the third period. We still
have some work to do. I’ve been
trying different lines and we will
get settled down in the next two
weeks. We have some tough
games coming up so we need to
work on defensive zone puck control and clearing out in front of the
goal.”
Boys’ hockey
boys’ hockey team skated to a 2-1
victory over North Kingstown last
week.
Coach Derek Borek said his
squad was led by a strong defensive effort, including some
impressive goaltending by Colin
Clegg who stopped a penalty shot
in the third period.
Barrington’s goals came on
power plays in the second period.
“It was a much better effort,”
said Borek. “I am still looking for
our team to play three solid periods.”
Wrestling
Barrington’s Quinn Morvillo
notched the Eagles’ lone victory in
a match against Bishop Hendricken on Wednesday, Dec. 17.
“We lost many key
members of our team
from last year and only
have 6 of 14 starters
back from last year.”
WRESTLING COACH
DREW GENETTI
Coach Drew Genetti said
Morvillo has wrestled well for Barrington all season and hopes to be
in the finals at 220 pounds or at
heavyweight at the state tournament.
“Also a key returning wrestler is
Christos Meltsakos who lost a 3-1
third period match against Hendricken,” said Genetti.
“We lost many key members of
our team from last year and only
have 6 of 14 starters back from last
year... Luckily 5 of those returning
6 are seniors and will be big pieces
of our team.”
Girls’ basketball
Playing without Grecia Restituyo, the Barrington High School
girls’ basketball team fell to Bay
View, 57-40, on Friday, Dec. 19. It
was the local team’s first loss of the
season.
“There were a lot of
nerves in the first half.”
GIRLS BASKETBALL COACH
STEPHEN LENZ
Coach Stephen Lenz said he was
pleased with his team’s effort
despite the loss.
“There were a lot of nerves in
the first half, and it took us some
time to adjust to the speed at
which they play, but we settled in
during the second half and we got
better,” he said. “Playing Bay View,
one of the top teams in the state,
as your first league game on the
road, is a big challenge for a young
team. We came out of that game
with all positives — we played a
great second half and we got better. That’s what it’s going to be all
about with this team — get better
every practice and every game.”
Bay View returned 11 varsity
players from last year’s team
which was undefeated in the regular season last year.
“In terms of our first three
games, I have been very proud of
our effort. Right now, any mistakes
I am seeing on the floor are due to
inexperience,” Lenz added.
Boys’ indoor track
Barrington had a pair of recordbreaking performances at the RITCA Invitational in Providence last
week, as Adam Kelly set a new
school and facility record in the
weight throw and the Eagles’
4x800 relay team of Mars Bishop,
Lucas Bledsoe, Gerald Guerrieri,
and Sam Somera clocked a
record-breaking time.
Kelly had a throw of 80 feet 1.25
inches, which is reportedly the top
high school weight throw this season. The mark set a school and
facility record. Teammate Bobby
Colantonio was second with a
personal best throw of 77 feet,
while Barrington’s Mike Alvernaz
was third with a throw of 62 feet
7.5 inches. Kelly was also tops in
the shot put.
In the 4x800 relay, Mars Bishop,
Lucas Bledsoe, Gerald Guerrieri,
and Sam Somera broke the record
that Bishop, Bledsoe, Somera, and
Grant Auber set two weeks ago.

Student art to benefit
disabled children in Nepal
FAB (For Anything But alcohol,
drugs or tobacco) involves students in creative activities geared
to give back to the community.
The students made tile murals.
This year, the recipient of their
artistic efforts will be the Om
Home for Disabled Children in
Nepal. One of the weirdgirls spent
her summer there volunteering.
The goal is to raise enough to
purchase clothing, bedding, two
wheelchairs and seats for the
completely immobile.
The children are also malnourished due to a lack of funds for
food. The home is dependent on
donations, and operates out of
one woman’s house. She is the
mother of one of the 14 disabled
children as well as the caregiver of
all.
Each mural is comprised of tiles
designed by students in the summer art camp. Murals are pictured
at www.weirdgirlcreations.com
and in the studio. The donation is
$50 or best offer. Or, donate at

PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT
PUBLIC HEARING
The Barrington Town Council will hold a public hearing on
January 5, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber, Town Hall,
283 County Road, Barrington, RI, for consideration of zoning
ordinance amendments.
Proposed amendments to the Town of Barrington Zoning
Ordinance will specify firm deadlines for the disposition of zoning
appeals, as required by recent amendments to Rhode Island’s
Zoning Enabling Act. The amendments will also eliminate language in the standard for granting dimensional variances which
is no longer permitted under the Zoning Enabling Act. The specific amendments are:
CHAPTER 185. ZONING; ARTICLE XII: ZONING BOARD
OF REVIEW
Section 185-58. Appeals to the Board.
C. The Board shall hear and decide appeals within 65
days of the date of a completed application for an appeal.
Section 185-64. Decisions of the Board.
• The Board shall render a decision on any matter before it
within 45 15 days after the public hearing is closed.
The Toe Jam Puppet Band will perform on Tuesday, Dec. 30, at 10 a.m. The “rockin’ band for kids and their
grown-ups” presents high-energy shows with original songs, shadow puppetry and storytelling.
CHAPTER 185. ZONING; ARTICLE XIII: VARIANCES
AT THE LIBRARY
Section 185-71. Standard for granting dimensional variances.
Library will have
special holiday hours
Prior to the granting of a dimensional variance by the
Zoning Board of Review, in addition to the standards of §
185-69, the applicant has the burden of proving that the
hardship to be suffered by the owner of the subject property shall amount to more than a mere inconvenience,
which shall mean that there is no other reasonable alternative to enjoy a legally permitted beneficial use of the
property. The fact that a use may be more profitable or that
a structure may be more valuable after the relief is granted shall not be grounds for relief.
***
All interested parties may review and examine a copy of the proposed zoning ordinance amendment at the Barrington Town
Clerk’s Office between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Copies of the proposed zoning amendment can be obtained from
the Town Clerk’s Office.
At the public hearing opportunity will be given to all interested
persons to be heard upon the proposed zone change. The proposal may be altered or amended prior to the close of the public
hearing without further advertising, as a result of further study or
because of the views expressed at the public hearing. Any such
alteration must be presented for comment in the course of said
hearing.

How a new refrigerator led to a
beautiful kitchen makeover… and more.
I
t was a refrigerator that
started the whole thing, says
Denise Clegg, of the work
done recently in the 1980’s colonial
her husband, Tom, an owner of
Seekonk’s Four Town Farm, built in
the 1980’s. Their old refrigerator
had major issues and the couple
took a ride to a local appliance
retailer to pick out a new one. “We
were walking around the store looking at appliances on display and the
thought came to us that we should
probably do more than a new refrigerator,: says Denise. “We needed a
complete redo of the original outdated kitchen ,” she says. And so
began an on-going relationship with
Mike, Claudette and Gerry at New
England Kitchen and Bath and a
fabulous kitchen makeover that
spilled into other areas during its
two month timeframe.
Today, a small rustic kitchen with
little usable counter space, inefficient layout, and outdated pine cupboards and appliances, has been
transformed into a larger functional
setting, with cherry Homecrest cabinets, roomy pantry, quartz countertops and matching table and shining
new appliances. The new refrigerator was given a place of honor
where a previous wall was removed.
“Getting more room out of this
kitchen had many obstacles
because of load bearing walls, chimney, and staircase,” says Denise.
“Thankfully, NEKB owner and
designer Mike came up with a plan

praising the talents and workmanship of the New England
Kitchen and Bath team, evidenced in these before and after
photographs.
that solved all our problems,” she
says, adding that Construction
Manager Gerry kept then all on
track. And while they were at it,
they enlarged the pantry and added
a favorite of Denise’s, rollout shelves,
which make finding staples a pleasure. Oh yes, and they also updated
the old lavette, which was adjacent
to the kitchen. “It all looks and
works so well and we have NEKB to
thank for it. We now sit in the
kitchen and enjoy all the space and
even watch a television show over a
cup of coffee in the morning,” she
adds. Attractive tile has replaced
the previous flooring, and it works
so well in the new space that the
couple had it extended into other
parts of the house……oh, but that’s
quite another story. More to come
later as the tale of a kitchen project
that began with a quest for a new
refrigerator grew into even more of
a beautiful NEKB renovation than
the Cleggs had ever imagined. And
they are thrilled with it all!

East Bay business leaders,
innovators welcome 2015
with big plans, optimism
BY CHRIST Y NADALIN

ith just a handful of days
remaining before General Treasurer Gina Raimondo takes over
as Rhode Island’s chief executive on January 6, the governorelect has been crossing the
state, holding a series of meetings with business and community leaders in an effort to
hear more about economic development efforts at the
community level, as well as reaching out to existing businesses to find out, as she says, “what it will take to add 10,
100, or 1000 jobs.”
She visited Bristol on Wednesday, Dec. 17, meeting members of the Bristol Rotary at the DeWolf Tavern and stopping by Harbor Bath and Body and Flags at the Landing
before heading to Herreshoff for a roundtable discussion
with representatives from Hope & Main, Explore Bristol,
and Tinker Bristol.
Raimondo explained her three-pronged plan for getting
Rhode Island back to work: educate, rebuild, and innovate.
She said that she was finding great energy and optimism
throughout the state.
It was clear that the people around the table at the Herreshoff offices had innovation covered.
Among them was Lisa Raiola, founder of Hope & Main in
Warren, Rhode Island’s first food business incubator. Open
only a matter of weeks, Hope & Main looks to have a very
bright future, with 33 member companies.
One of these was also represented at the table: Ziggy
Goldfarb, owner and head “pickleteer” of the Fox Point
Pickling Company, who has been selling his pickles for only
about 6 weeks, yet is close to recouping his initial startup
costs. Goldfarb gives much credit for his early success to the
people of Warren. “I’ll meet people from Warren at farmers
markets, and they have been so supportive,” he says. “They
tell me how they waited in the rain to vote for (the referendum to approve the sale of the Main Street School to) Hope
& Main. They are really vested in its success.”
Also present were several members of Tinker Bristol,
Governor-elect Gina Raimondo met with a group of East Bay business and community leaders for a roundtable discussion
on Wednesday. The group included Lisa Raiola, middle, founder of Hope & Main, and Garry Holmstrom, a member of the

Jobs and education are inextricably linked
hree stories were recently
in the news which at first
blush seem unrelated but
which are inextricably linked. The
first story reported that Senate
President Teresa Paiva Weed has
put education at the top of her
agenda for the
upcoming legislative session.
Right next to this
report was the
news about the
decline in science scores
Arlene
throughout the
VIOLET
state. Finally,
there was the
coverage of the “Raimondo summit” wherein the Governor-elect,
Gina Raimondo, invited some 120
pacesetters to kibbutz about how
to turn around the economy in
the state.
The senate president is correct
in putting educational priorities
at the top of her list in order to
prepare students for future work
but her emphasis on collegiate
accountability puts the cart
before the horse. As a trustee at a
local university I certainly recognize and applaud her call for
accountability by the institutions
of higher learning. Any administrator at the university level, however, would point out that a substantial number of students come
in woefully unprepared for higher
educational studies. Far too many
matriculating students have
below average reading skills and a
substandard grasp of math and
science. Punctuating this latter
point is the data from the most
recent New England Common
Assessment Program (NECAP)
wherein Rhode Island 8th graders
had only an average of 22.8 percent proficiency in science. When
the 4th, 8th and 11th grade scores
are compiled, that proficiency
rate is at 17 percent with minorities lagging behind their caucasian peers.
Therein lies the key for Ms. Raimondo’s campaign to improve
job growth here. Far too many
students lack the necessary skills
to fill jobs available or courted.
Since 1978 the various permutations of the Economic Development Corporation (now the Commerce Commission) have cited in
their reports time and again the
need to reform education starting
in grammar school in order to
train students for twenty-first
century jobs.
This really is the nut that needs
to be cracked. Curriculums in the
lower grades need to be overhauled, but apparently past governors and the legislature have
not taken steps to make relevant
educational changes in the K-12
system. The teachers’ unions
have been primarily obstacles to
change, preferring instead to
defend the status quo. Without
reform at the lower and intermediate levels of education, the
state’s students will be condemned to a process of remediation at the college level rather
than building their professional
careers.
Ms. Paiva Weed has proposed
the release of some state funding
for state colleges to be tied to certain academic goals being met at
the college level. That’s fine, but
the real solution is to make this
tie-in operative at grammar and
high schools also. I’d like to see
the present governor and legislative leadership link funding in a
similar way as she proposes for
the university level.
Companies gravitate to a state,
inter alia, because of the preparedness of its work force. This
is a major problem in Rhode I as
a half-dozen studies have pointed
out. If Rhode Island is to be competitive and provide jobs for its
citizens, real reform has to begin
at day one of the educational
journey. It will take guts for leaders to push reform at the lower
level of education. Time will tell if
the governor-elect and the legislature have the courage to change
the status quo at the neighborhood schools.

TRASH OR TREASURE
PET CONFIDENTIAL
‘Invest’ in art for one reason only: you love it
Q. This is a Fred Thieler painting that a relative got directly
from the artist. It seems as
though most of
his work sells in
Germany. I was
wondering if you
had any
thoughts about
the best way to
sell it or if you
Karen
it should
WATERMAN think
be held onto. Is
there any way to know if it will
likely increase in value over the
next few years?
A. Fred Thieler (1916-1999), was
a German painter whose work
was most popular during the late
1940’s through the 1950’s, and he
is considered to be one of Germany’s leading abstract artists
from that period. This painting is
much like his other works from
this period and is very representative of other abstract work from
this time. This is also the period
in which Jackson Pollock’s work
was popular in this country.
Abstract art has a very specific
audience and cannot be sold just
anywhere. The contemporary art
market changes very quickly and
a lot of artists go out of style and
never come back.
There are two rules you should
not waiver from regarding art and
antiques:
1. Buy it and keep it because
you love it.
2. Never buy art or antiques for
an investment. Doing so is a
gambler’s game.
Keeping this in mind, this artist
is from Germany, whose work is
known and primarily selling in
Germany. This is the best market
to sell. Most his work is selling in
the $3000-$6,000 price range.
You did not mention what size
this painting is but sometimes
the size can help or hurt a sale.
Larger pieces are harder to place
because most people do not have
the wall space.
You need to come to terms with
how you feel about this painting.
You may find selling it could be
difficult. As I mentioned, the
overseas market is where you
would get the most for it. You will
need to consider the cost of an
appraisal and the cost of insuring
and shipping it overseas versus
what you may gain. If you want to
risk selling it here, contact a contemporary art gallery which specializes in abstract art (and ideally
one that has heard of Thieler).

Reflections, resolutions
for our furry friends
BY LYNN ANNE EVANS, DVM
Dear Readers,
The holidays are a time for
remembrances and resolutions,
so I thought that, rather than
answer questions, I’d offer a few
thoughts on you and your pets
(as well as me and mine) for the
New Year.
If you’re a veterinarian, the end
of the year can’t help but bring
reflection. No matter how many
battles you win, there are some
you just can’t. No one can beat
the march of time and the losses
it inevitably brings.
But the wonderful part of my
job is that, even in the face of
loss, there’s so much to celebrate.
Yes, that 16 year-old border collie
is no longer with us, but I get a
warm glow every time I think of
her. After a long career keeping a
country club free of geese, she
found a “retirement home” where
she was a cherished pet who got
to snooze in the sun and didn’t
have to chase a thing.
Or my sweet elderly golden
whose family exhausted every
means of keeping her mobile
before coming to the very sad
conclusion that it wasn’t fair for
her to go on. Or my pug friend
whose folks would stop at nothing to save her after unexpected
complications set in. When a
family is willing to make Herculean efforts to save the life of a
pet, you can only imagine what
that pet gave them over the years
to inspire such devotion.
Or maybe the most bittersweet
story of my year. A young cat
who’d languished in a shelter for
months before being adopted by
a nice couple turned out to have
a loud heart murmur on her first
exam. An echocardiogram
revealed grave disease with a
grave prognosis, demanding constant care and medication. Some
people would have zoomed her
back to the shelter — I’ve seen it
happen — but that cat led the
rest of her (very) short life safe,
warm, and loved.
They give us so much. We’re the
lucky ones.
Anyway, here are some resolutions I suggest to make the New
Year your pet’s best ever.
■ Walk your dog off the premises at least twice a day. Even old
creaky dogs benefit from a stroll
around the block a few times a
day. Good for them, good for you.
■ Scoop that litterbox as often
as you can (a world-renowned
feline expert said at a conference
I attended, “You should scoop
your cat’s box as often as you
flush your own toilet.”) A clean
box means a happy cat.
■ Take a hard look at your pet’s
diet. Is it a high-quality AFCCOapproved food? Is your pet a
healthy weight? Is its coat shiny
and bright? Do treats and table
food make up too much of the
daily ration?
■ Above all, take the time to
truly enjoy your fur-friend. My
New Year’s resolution is to rub
Coyote’s ears every chance I get.
Happy Holidays, all.

Time to give
Did you know that about a third of all charitable
donations are made between Thanksgiving and New
Year’s eve? “Americans are generous year-round.
They really open their hearts and their wallets during
the holiday season,” said Eileen Heisman, CEO of
National Philanthropic Trust. “Whether you give $50
or $500 this year, it is important to think strategically
to maximize the impact of your donation. Today,
anyone can be a philanthropist by following a few
simple tips.”
Soul search
Think about what types of causes are important to
you and your family. If you have children, get them
involved in this discussion as early as possible.
Be strategic
Larger gifts to fewer charities will have more
impact. Three charities each year is usually a good
number. Too many will dilute the effect of your hardearned donations. I always recommend donors give
one charity $100 rather than five charities $20.
Decide how you will give
More than ever, there are many options for supporting a charitable cause. You can write a check or
donate through an online giving portal; text a onetime donation or start a family legacy by establishing
a donor-advised fund. Determine which is the best
vehicle for giving for your personal situation, your
taxes and your family’s long-term giving vision.
Check back
Use social media to stay in touch with the charities
you supported. See how they are doing six and twelve
months after your gift. Are they making an impact?
“If they’re doing a great job, you may want to increase
your gift next year,” said Heisman.
BOOK REVIEW
A rocking good story to launch 2015
Jerry Lee Lewis
His Own Story
by Rick Bragg
Wow, what a story! What a life!
Crazy. Wild. Frenzied. Dangerous.
On-the-edge. Raucous. These
adjectives do not adequately capture the essence of the legendary
Rock-’n-Roll musician Jerry Lee
Lewis. Even the
term “musician”
does not do his
talent justice. For

Donna DeLeo (he once poured
and ignited a can
BRUNO
of Coke filled
with kerosene onto the piano
while playing his famous hit
“Great Balls of Fire”), anyone who
ever saw him perform could not
deny his artistic genius, improvisation, and uniqueness. Born dirt
poor to uneducated tenant farmers in rural Louisiana, Lewis
revealed that he was a musical
prodigy at age 5 when, in his
aunt’s living room, he climbed up
on a piano bench and began playing Gospel hymns heard in church
and songs his mother sang to him.
His description of this moment, in
his own words, is remarkable, as
he experienced a “strange something” that he felt in his entire
body. “The first key sounded in his
head, ringing and ringing, and
told his fingers what to do. It kept
happening, like a cascade.” He has
never remembered wanting to

ment was. The hold it took upon

when finally his
Daddy, who
owned nothing
but a beat-up
truck, mortgaged it to get
him a piano,
which was a
monumental feat in itself, since
“only rich men had pianos.” I suppose one could say the rest is history — but what a history! And
Rick Bragg is the perfect storyteller
for Jerry Lee. His style is so easy
and conversational, it is as if the
reader is sitting in the living room
listening as Lewis describes his
topsy-turvy life, reeling from highs
to lows, on top of the musical
charts one day, banned from the
radio the next. All his life he
admits to being a rascal, “I just
done what I wanted,” totally
ignoring rules and regulations,
laws and paperwork. If he wanted
a car, he just drove it off the lot,
“but always returned it.” So it is
not surprising that when he wanted to replace one wife with another, he never bothered to apply for
a divorce; that when he received a
draft notice, as did his fellow star
Elvis Presley, he simply tore it up
and discarded it; and that when he
wanted to marry his 13 year-old
cousin, he simply did so, despite
the warnings and advice of his
agents and “handlers,” telling
them that “nobody handles Jerry
Lee Lewis.” It was this marriage,
his third out of a total of seven,
that derailed his career just when
he had reached the top of the
music world. A long-planned tour
to England in the 1950’s was over
before it started, once the scandal
labeled him a “pervert” and “babysnatcher.” Even in the U.S., stations refused to play his songs
which in some cases were banned
from the airways. But there is no
denying he was a phenomenon; a
brilliant musician: explosive,
dynamic, and fierce, and as talented as Johnny Cash, Hank Williams,
Jimmie Rodgers, even Elvis himself. Bragg narrates so many interesting anecdotes involving Lewis’
interaction with these “greats,”
many of whom started out with
“gospel” and “blues” and “country” and adapted it to their own
style. This is one mighty good
read, particularly for anyone interested in the history of “Rock-’nRoll,” but also for those looking for
a “howlin’” good read, which is
exactly what this “species unto
himself” did his entire career:
howlin’ and stompin’ and
thumpin’ his way to legendary
musical heights.

WINE REVIEW
A resolution you’ll want to keep
Here’s a great New Year’s resolution: expand your knowledge of
wine
Chris Silva of Sonoma’s St.
Francis Winery offers the following tips for wine newbies and
enthusiasts alike to get started on
getting to know wine better in
2015:
■ Join a club. A wine club,
either through specifically one
winery or company that features
an international selection, is a
great way to have a variety of
hand-picked, quality wines delivered to your doorstep. Whether
you decide to stick with one varietal or try many, a wine club can
cater to your wishes or help you
expand your horizons wisely.
■ Take notes. Sipping on some
vino? Record your impressions of
the flavors in a “wine diary.”
Remember to clear your palate
first with something neutral, such
as crackers. You’ll know whether
to revisit the wine in the future, as
well as learn to become more
mindful of what you’re drinking.
■ Seek variety. For a broad
overview of wine, it’s important to
become familiar with the major
varietals, which for white wines
include Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and for red wines,
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and
Zinfandel.
■ Travel. Go right to the source
Chris Silva, CEO of St. Francis Winery and Vineyard, Sonoma, Calif.
and consider planning a trip to
wine country. Many vineyards
host tours, have tasting rooms
and offer education programs. A
winery is also a great place to find
top notch wine pairings. For
example, the St. Francis` Wine &
Food Pairing program, awarded
the “Number One Restaurant in

Slow down your meals
pending more time eating
and chewing has been
linked to eating fewer
calories at meal times and more
weight loss. It takes your brain 20
minutes to register that your
stomach is full. By practicing
slow eating, you
are allowing
yourself to feel
when you are
satisfied with a
meal.
Many studies
have shown that
people who eat
Emily
actually
DELCONTE slower
eat less, are less
hungry, and drink more water
than people who eat quickly. In
the long term, this can lead to
greater rates of weight loss.
Slowing down your meals helps
with more than just eating less.
Your mouth is the first step of
digestion. If your food if chewed
well before it enters your
intestines, you are less likely to
have stomach upset or difficulties
digesting.
Focus on taking smaller bites
and chewing your food thoroughly. You can also try the following
tips to slow down your meals:
■ Count how many times you
chew before you swallow. Then
try to double that number so you
know you are chewing more.
■ Finish chewing and swallowing completely before taking
another bite.
■ Eat your fruits and vegetables
instead of drinking them in the
form of juice or a smoothie.
■ Use smaller utensils or try
using chopsticks.
■ Eat with others instead of
eating alone.
Take your time - enjoy and really taste your food.

1361: A bone-chilling winter in
England. The Black Death, dormant for more than a decade,
has returned with a vengeance.
The Church rules the land, and a
ragged troupe of actors accompanied by a renegade priest
roam the countryside performing religious stories for the masses. But everything changes when
a young boy is found dead and a
mute girl stands to be hanged for
the murder. Sensing a miscarriage of justice (and potential
earnings!), the itinerant actors
try to unravel the mystery by
weaving the murder into their
morality play. The result is a
political morass fraught with
danger for everyone involved.
Adapted from the best-selling
novel by Booker Prize Winner
Barry Unsworth, Morality Play
is a medieval murder mystery at
the crossroads of sacred and
secular—full of intrigue, suspense and lessons for our time.

Home staging for the holidays: Keep it simple
Follow these tips to showcase your home
during the holidays
BY JOAN D. WARREN
S
elling a home during the holiday season is a stressful experience. With
entertaining, traveling or hosting outof-town guests, opening your home for
showings and open houses can be challenging. Making your home show well at the holidays can work to a seller's advantage, but
only if its decorated tastefully. Below are
some tips to make your home show well at
the holidays and during the winter when
locally, its all about the interior.
Sellers should decorate in a way that
won’t deter anyone and make sure the holiday glitz doesn’t outshine the home. Less is
more.?Firstly, its important to be sensitive.
Not knowing the preferences of buyers or
what their religious affiliation may be, it's
best to be safe rather than lose a buyer due to
overload of religious adornments.
Put out some non-religious holiday decorations during an open house or showing to
make a home feel inviting. Try to avoid
homemade decorations, although it is tempting to showcase your children's drawings
and preschool creations. Buyer's don't appreciate your family heirlooms and traditional
decorations.
If you put up a Christmas tree, don't overload with ornaments and tinsel. Again, less is
more, including colored lights. White lights
make for a clean backdrop.
If possible, update outdoor lighting. With
shorter days, buyers are more likely to see
the home at night, so lighting the way into
the home is crucial. Also, remember to put
out a thirsty doormat to absorb the elements
before potential buyers traipse through your
home.
If applicable, light a fire in the fireplace.
Nothing exudes warmth and comfort like
wood crackling in the hearth. Cozy fleece
blankets and throws on arm chairs and
couches are a nice touch to give a potential
buyer a glimpse at what cold winter nights
could look like if they were to buy the home.
Consider lighting winter scented candles
or simmering holiday potpourri blends on
the stove to keep the air smelling of cinnamon and spice. Other homey scents to make
the home feel warm and inviting include
sugar and chocolate chip cookies. Who
doesn't like that?
Some homeowners set the dining room
table to showcase holiday entertaining. This
tactic gives the illusion of family gatherings
and areas where memories are made.
It's fine to play soft, background music
during a showing or during an open house.
Seasonal acoustic or symphonic music (nonholiday specific) works well, but make sure
it's not loud or too juvenile.
Lastly, keep pets in crates, remove pet
dishes, and most importantly clean the kitty
litter, if applicable. Nothing deters potential
buyers more than pet odors!
Even if the home is well staged during the
busy holiday season, don't forget to de-clutter and rid the home of piles of clothes, mail,
paperwork, dishes or kids’ toys. ?Keep holiday decorating simple and let the true beauty of your home shine. It will pay off in the
end.

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.
