The wall in the background is a feature preserved from the old school. First a vacation, then the ‘glorious’ move-in day BY TOM K ILLIN DALGLISH [email protected] LITTLE COMPTON — Monday, April 28, 2014, will be a day to remember for many in Little Compton. That’s the moment 256 students and 38 teachers return from the spring break and take up occupancy in the newly renovated Wilbur & McMahon School. “It’s going to be a glorious day when we actually move back in,” said Tom Allder, chairman of the School Building Committee, who is also a member of the School Committee. To celebrate the event and showcase the new digs, school officials have scheduled two open houses, one for students and parents, the other for the community: ■ For students and their families: Thursday, May 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. ■ For the community and pub- lic: Saturday, May 3, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The two 70-foot modular buildings, sitting on the Peckham Lot a few hundred yards to the west of the school, that have been used as temporary classrooms since February, 2013, will be hauled away sometime in May, Mr. Allder said. The Peckham Lot is proposed thereafter to become a new multipurpose playing field and recreational area, depending on the outcome of a $250,000 grant application made last winter to the Department of Environmental Management (DEM). A State House announcement about the funding request is due April 17.

TIVERTON — A long-time illicit dumping ground in town has seen its last days and will soon be shut down. The site lies at the dead end of an unmarked access road that runs parallel to Route 24 and south from the point where that highway crosses over Eagleville Road. The quarter-mile-long road is known to the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), which owns it and the land around it, as the Texaco Service Road. RIDOT is gating off access, and will be cleaning out all the trash that’s accumulated there during the last year or two. “Based on concerns shared by the town regarding dumping along the Texaco Service Road, we are installing a 16-foot gate at the entrance to limit access,” RIDOT spokeswoman Rosamaria Amoro said Friday. Posts for the gate were set into concrete on Thursday morning, April 3. “Jersey barriers will also be placed on the sides of the gate to prevent people from trying to drive off the road and around the posts. Once the area is secured, our crews will clean up the existing debris along the road,” Ms. Amoro said Friday. “We’ve cleaned the area up 12 times over the last 20 years,” said Tiverton Department of Public Works (DPW ) Director Steve Berlucchi. “Each time we’ve taken out 1015 truckloads of junk of all kinds.

Currently, something round and plastic — as big a tractor tire, a metal window frame, a pile of shingles, and a tree stump, are among the litter at the site. Mr. Berlucchi said he asked RIDOT six months ago to do something about the mess. He said he had been told that inmates from the Adult Correctional Institutions would be cleaning the site within the next month. 233 Sanford Road • Westport, MA • 508-674-8188 Why spend $5.00 in gas to save $1.00?

All the classrooms are around it. That’s the centerpiece of the project.” “We’ve repurposed the space,” he said. “There used to be three skylights there, but we’ve been able to maintain only one of them.” Principal Joao Arruda said, “I’m excited to to get back in the building right now. I love the library/media center and the way they tie together with the science lab. It’s out of this world. It has a very welcoming design.” Kathy Crowley, Little Compton’s superintendent of schools, said through spokeswoman Cheryl Silvia, that “it’s a very bright building. The science lab and the media center are state-of-the-art.” “People are going to be impressed right off the bat, coming in from the main entrance to the building,” said School Committee Chairman Don Gomez. “Everything is light and open and airy, the colors have changed, the floors are sanded, there’s new lighting, and extremely good ventilation.” ■ Mechanical systems. “Behind the scenes is where the money went,” said Mr. Gomez. “Half the cost of the whole project is devoted to the new mechanical system,” Mr. Allder said. This includes heating, wiring, a sprinkler system, and a ventilation system, and nearly all of it is above the ceiling, or behind the walls, or under the floors.” The entire building has new ductwork throughout, and 90 percent of the plumbing has been replaced, he said. ■ Security, IT, electronics. “We’ve got a brand new security system, with cameras in the entryways and parking lots,” said Mr. Gomez. “We’ve also got completely upgraded IT stuff through a grant of $60,000-$70,000,” he said, “with connectivity in the classrooms, smart boards and integrated systems.” The gymnasium, Mr. Allder said, See WILBUR MCMAHON Page 4 PHOTOS BY RICHARD W.

An addition off to the left (west side) of the building, Mr. Allder said, houses a 30,000 gallon water tank used for the sprinkler system. ■ Windows. All the windows in the gym and locker room were replaced, and all the double-hung windows have been retooled and given a facelift, Mr. Allder said. ■ Outside. Mr. Allder said areas outside the building have been mulched and seeded, and “there’s been some interest from some All Varieties Fresh Baked Prices in effect April 16-22, 2014. *Not responsible for typographical errors. 4 Pack Fresh Express Garden Grape Tomatoes . . . $199 pt.

A new roof has been put on the entire building. Mr. Gomez said parts of the old stone wall and facade of the old building “ have been cleaned up and returned to the look of 1929.” ■ Overall. “We’ve got a new building that’s much better for the kids. We basically came in on budget and on schedule. The process worked very well, “ said Mr. Gomez. “The contractor [ADS Construction of East Providence] ended up a couple of weeks ahead of schedule,” he said. “It’s a good product,” Mr. Gomez said. “For me, it’s a payforward building. That’s my mindset. We’ve got a new building that’s much better for the kids.” Mr. Allder said, “it’s been a long time since back in the Fall of 2007 when I was appointed to this position. A lot’s gone on. The original project didn’t come to fruition. It’s been a great learning experience. I can’t say I’d ever do it again. I’m glad it’s come to an end, that’s for sure.” All this work was financed by bonds issued in the amount of $11.31 million. They were sold in November of last year “at an average interest rate of 3.8 percent, well below” the town’s initial estimates said Town Council President Robert Mushen at the time. The bonds are 20 year general obligation bonds, he said then, and were sold “almost 100 basis points lower” than the estimations the town had made for budgeting purposes of 4.75 percent. Mr. Mushen said he estimated the lower interest rate the town has achieved can be expected to save taxpayers at least $600,000 over the 20-year life of the loan. There’s the possibility of other good news in years to come. The annual chicken BBQ and fireworks, put off due to construction the last couple of years, may yet be able to return to Veteran’s Field.

Police: Man scrapped neighbors’ cars for cash A Westport man faces charges larceny charges after police say he sold his neighbors’ cars to a Tiverton scrapyard for cash. On Monday, April 14, Westport police arrested Nathan J. Moniz, 28, of 30 Crane Ave., Westport, on charges stemming from an investigation into the disappearance of three vehicles Nathan J. Moniz not far from his house. On March 10, a 1999 Ford Econoline van was taken from a yard on Oakland Street by a tow truck that was seen leaving the area. The next day, March 11, a 2000 Chevrolet S10 Blazer was loaded onto a flatbed tow truck and stolen from a yard on Crane Avenue. A local business had captured surveillance video of the thefts, said Westport Detective Antonio Cestodio. Westport Sgt. Johnny P. Couto visited area scrapyards and discovered that the Blazer’s final destination had been Tiverton Auto Parts, 541 Bulgarmarsh Road. The owner of Tiverton Auto Parts said he had met with Mr. Moniz who told him he needed to have two junk vehicles removed that he claimed to own. He was paid $600 for the two, they were then towed to Tiverton Auto Parts and subsequently crushed, Det. Cestodio said. Not known is what happened to the Ford Econoline which was taken with some of the owner’s valuable tools inside. “During the investigation other officers had learned Mr. Moniz was soliciting prospective tow trucks in town through Facebook to remove the vehicles,” Det. Cestodio said. He said that while police appreciate the fact the Tiverton Auto Parts insisted on obtaining Mr. Moniz’s identification which helped lead to the arrest, scrapyards “should be making sure that they obtain title for any vehicles that they purchase for scrap.” Westport Police are asking anyone who has information about the Ford van taken on March 10 to contact them at (508) 636-1122. “At this time it is believed that the tow company which removed the van may have unwittingly been scammed by Mr. Moniz,” said Sgt. Antonio Cestodio It is believed that the flat bed tow truck is an International that is white in color.

Those pensions had pushed one city into bankruptcy, others weren’t far off, and the entire employee pension system was on the brink. It was all finally enough to convince the legislature and even reluctant unions that it was beyond time for reform. Sadly — and predictably — that resolve is fading fast. Although firefighters, teachers — most other state public workers — had approved reforms, a police union balked and now the whole thing is headed back to court. And last week, the Chafee administration approved raises for state workers— three 2 percent raises in just 18 months. They hadn’t received raises in awhile, was the rationale, so the time is apparently right to open the floodgates. It’s as though those in charge have decided for reasons unknown that happy days are here again.

The state has lived in a fool’s paradise where public sector workers retire at young ages with close to full pay, extraordinary benefits and cost of living raises for life. One decent year in the stock market has some pretending that it can all go on this way — that somehow a broke state will find the money to pay or it all. Except that it won’t. The unions (and the legislators who enable them) ought to realize by now that every moment reform is delayed, every clause that is watered down, hastens the day that the whole thing comes tumbling down. Look at Detroit to see how that will work out for them. SAKONNET TIMES Established in 1967 Matthew Hayes, Publisher Bruce Burdett, Editor R. S.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tourism is not state’s salvation To the editor: I much enjoyed Patrick Luce’s April 3 article, “On Bristol waterfront, Raimondo lays out tourism plan,” in which state Treasurer and gubernatorial candidate Gina Raimondo performed a little publicity stunt by climbing onto a raft in Bristol harbor and bloviating about her plan for the salvation of nearlybankrupt Rhode island by turning it into a tourist destination. It’s an absurd idea, and nothing more than a stunt from a politician blowing sweet nothings into our ears. Charming, but as nourishing as the hole in a doughnut. “Tourism is one of our strongest industries,” she is quoted as saying; but of course that’s because Rhode Island has no other industries besides serving liquor to its increasingly jaded citizens. So she suggests we spend more money we don’t have to promote the state to out-of-staters. Get them here, and get their money. It’s a bloodsucker mentality. Why should I, if I were an outof-state tourist, visit Rhode Island? To get fleeced at the bridge tolls or the state’s ridiculous, punitive meals tax? How about coming here to get shaken down at the state beaches with ridiculous entry fees? “Tourism is the second-leading industry in Rhode Island,” Luce writes. That’s actually not a good thing, because once tourism moves to first place, we’ll be just like the Caribbean – a vampire third-world economy that produces nothing, but sucks the blood out of anything that visits. But there is a difference. The Caribbean has palm trees, warm waters and coral beaches. Had Gina fallen off her raft into Bristol Harbor, she would have realized that she was most definitely not in the Caribbean. Once upon a time, Herreshoff built boats, mills produced fabric, Browne & Sharpe made fine instruments. Kaiser made aluminum. Premier Thread made thread. We produced and manufactured items for export. Recent writings have talked about artist colonies and business incubators as economic salvation. Art is a wonderful and necessary thing. But don’t look to artists for economic salvation. They don’t hire people or build factories. They take low-rent quarters and ride the bus. A real business incubator gets manufacturing going. They grow, create jobs and strengthen the economy. But they won’t grow in the corrupt, over-taxing, business-hostile environment that is Rhode Island. They’ll get started and head somewhere they can actually grow and become profitable. But back to Gina and her raft, which has all too much the appearance of a lifeboat. Rhode Island is the proverbial ship that has struck the iceberg; she’s going down by the head, and everyone’s scrambling for the boats. Note that Gina is not only one of the first to find something that floats, she’s also showing us the way out of this mess, whether intentional or not. I am no longer an optimist. To the boats! Michael Martel 16 Birchwood Drive NRA’s gun crime claims simply untrue To the editor: At a recent hearing of the House Judiciary Committee on gun safety bills, the NRA sent a representative to oppose the bill which would clarify that local police chiefs had the authority to use their discretion when issuing a concealed carry gun permit. As it stands, the Rhode Island law requires that an applicant must show proof of certain conditions and that she/he is a suitable person in order to obtain such a permit. Law enforcement knows the citizens in its communities, they know if there have been multiple calls to a home for domestic violence issues, they know if someone has a mental health issue, or that an individual has a drug or alcohol issue. The discretion provided in the law allows the police chief to make the call on who might be a threat to health and safety if allowed to carry a concealed weapon in public. In arguing that there should be See FACING PAGE Sakonnet Times April 17, 2014 Page 7 Walnut Street and the ‘40 Gallison, DiPalma honored for senior care work steps’ to get facelift BY TOM K ILLIN DALGLISH [email protected] TIVERTON — Work will begin shortly on the repaving of an approximately three-block stretch of Walnut Street between Shove Street and Main Road in north Tiverton. At the same time, a staircase — known locally as the “40 steps” — that connects the east end of State Avenue to Shove Street, will be cleaned up and repaired. The infrastructure repair projects are supported with $30,000 in funding from the state’s Community Development Block Grant program ($2,000 for the steps, $28,00 for the paving). Oversight for the two projects will be provided by the Department of Public Works. The start dates are uncertain, since they are dependent upon weather and the reopening of asphalt plants. Gun claims simply false From FACING PAGE no discretion, the NRA representative cited surveys which he said showed that concealed weapons had prevented over 2 million crimes and said that states which had the highest percentage of firearms ownership had the lowest death rates and crime rates. That is simply not true. He relied on a “study,” presumably by John Lott, whose study has been widely discredited by every researcher who attempted to replicate it. Professor Lott, when no one could replicate his data, claimed he could not provide his data because his computer crashed. Here are the facts. The US Department of Justice website cites studies showing that there are fewer gun deaths per capita in states with stricter gun control provisions, such as background checks, bans on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, firearm prohibitions for high-risk groups and child access prevention laws. For example, combined Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island, with stronger gun laws and 25 percent of household gun ownership have 25 percent of the gun fatalities of Alaska, Louisiana, Arizona, Alabama, Mississippi and others with weak gun laws. This shows a direct correlation between prevalence of guns and gun fatalities, with four times the household gun ownership and four times the gun fatality rates. The US National Library of Medicine and the American Journal of Public Health show that having a gun in the home makes the likelihood of homicide three times higher, suicide three to five times higher and accidental death four times higher. The NRA receives millions of dollars annually from the gun industry whose goal is to sell as many of their products as possible. They have weakened laws to allow access to guns by criminals, terrorists and mentally impaired individuals and now try to convince us that the only way to protect ourselves from the criminals, terrorists and mentally impaired individuals is to arm ourselves. It is a business plan that should be taught in every business school in America. Unfortunately, this business plan kills 83 Americans every day. Here is a rebuttal source for the NRA’s claim that guns stop crime over two million times per year: http://www.vpc.org/press/1304se lf.htm There are several excellent gun safety bills being heard and considered in the General Assembly. Among them are House Bills 7310, 7587, 7583 and 7585, as well as Senate Bills 2242, 2622 and 2815. Nan Heroux Middletown State Representative Raymond E.

The game was all over by the bottom of the fifth inning due to the “mercy rule” implemented in high school baseball. Due to the fact that Tiverton had more than a 10-run lead after five innings, the officials concluded the game two innings early. “It was the most runs we’ve had in a few years,” said Tiverton Head Coach Carl Reid. The Tigers came out of the gate hitting the ball with great confidence. Tiverton batted in 10 runs in the first inning to start the game off with a huge edge. “We jumped on them early and kept the pressure on them (Rogers) in the second inning,” said Coach Reid. Tiverton continued its offensive onslaught in the third inning by stringing together another seven runs. The coach said that the Tigers’ success at bat can be attributed to an excellent team effort. “Hitting was very spread out … We had two guys with three hits, three guys with two hits. Everyone on the team had a hit except one player”, said Coach Reid. Individually, lead off hitter Alex Pavao, had an impressive performance. He went 3-3 at bat with a walk. He also ran in for three runs and recorded two RBIs. Almost as impressive as the 19 runs scored by Tiverton was the pitching outing by Logan Maitlyn who held Rogers to only a single run for the entire game. Maitlyn had four strikeouts in the game and kept great composure at the mound. Wyatt Nolan came into the game for Maitlyn at the top of the fifth inning and was able end the game after facing the first three batters, striking out two of them.

The week features special services, music and vigils in preparation for commemorating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. An ecumenical Easter sunrise service is at 5:30 a.m. on the front steps of First Baptist (Old Stone) Church in Tiverton. An ecumenical Easter sunrise service is at 6:30 a.m. at the Little Compton Town Landing with St. Andrew’s by-the-Sea and the United Congregational Church. Tiverton Amicable Congregational United Church of Christ The Rev. William Sterrett 3736 Main Road 624-4611 Barrington Police Chief John LaCross is the featured speaker at a service, “Healing Grief through Mindfulness,” on Good Friday, April 18, at 7:30 p.m. Congregants at the church recently experienced an unusual amount of grief due to the death of congregants, family and friends. In considering how to create a service to help people in the grieving process, a member brought in a newspaper article about Chief LaCross’ participation in Mothers Against Drunk Driving vigils. A proponent of mindfulness meditation, he has led meditations as part of these vigils. Because Amicable is focusing on mindfulness for the season of Lent, a service using mindfulness meditation seemed like a natural union. Chief LaCross will share his personal grief story and lead a meditation. The service also will feature musical theater singer Heidi Gleichauf performing a song from the musical “Little Women.” The piece portrays the character Beth, in the face of her impending death, as she shares happy memories to comfort her sister Jo.

It is free and open to the public. All films start at 7:30 p.m. The theatrical productions were filmed in the 1970s and star such stage presences as Dame Judy Dench, Vivien Merchant, Stacy Keach, Joseph Cotton and Gene Wilder. Pick up a Frequent Film Card. Attend five films and receive a free gift. The film on Wednesday, April 23, is “Luther.” Adapted for the screen by Edward Anhalt from the play by John Osborne, its stars Stacy Keach as religious leader and “heretic” Martin Luther. In minimalist fashion, the film traces Luther’s disillusionment with the Catholic Church, and his eventual spearheading of the Reformation movement. Over the course of the film, Keach ages from an ingenuous seminarian to a disgruntled, middle-aged firebrand. Director Guy Green does little to cinematize the material, instead favoring a theatrical approach and thus allowing the rich dialogue to be better appreciated. Upcoming films are “The Homecoming” on May 7, “A Delicate Balance” on May 21 and “Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris” on June 4.

Hits were hard to come by for Tiverton, said Coach Josh Mello — the few that the team did manage came from the bats of Bailey DiPrato, Amanda Flick, Amber Silva, Amanda Rooney and Katelyn Farias. The highlight of the game, Coach Mello said, was a double play pulled off by Flick who fielded the ball, stepped on second and fired over to first to complete the play. “Very pretty play,” the coach said. The Tiverton girls also lost their Monday match against Middletown. LEFT: Amanda Flick takes aim at a pitch. BELOW: Pitcher Bailey DiPrato fires a pitch to a St. Ray’s batter.

Page 16 Sakonnet Times April 17, 2014 Tiverton’s first lady of litter retires, sort of BY NATALIE COTE I first met Patricia Sullivan several years ago when I was appointed to the Tiverton Conservation Commission. Ms. Sullivan fascinated and inspired me from the beginning. Ms. Sullivan grew up in Fall River but spent her summers in Tiverton with her grandmother and then with her family. Pat eventually moved to Tiverton permanently as an adult. In her retirement, Ms. Sullivan has been active in town affairs, especially with the Conservation Commission and Tiverton Litter Committee, which she spearheaded. A few years ago, Pat decided it was time to retire from both. She continues to work from the sidelines to advise members of both the Commission and the Litter Committee. The Tiverton Litter Committee felt it fitting to interview Ms. Sullivan as the first person to be highlighted on the town’s Let’s Talk Trash website. ■ How did the Tiverton Litter Committee start? “In the late 90’s, a citizen approached the Conservation Commission with a concern regarding trash in the Fogland area. I was also concerned with litter throughout the town, as were many residents. It was then that the Litter Committee became a subcommittee of the Conservation Natalie Cote interviews Pat Sullivan. Commission. One of our first tasks was to write a Litter Ordinance, unanimously passed by the Council in 2000.” ■ How should we educate people to help clean up Tiverton? “An excellent way to educate and involve citizens in litter clean-up is by creating an ongoing activity. Our project is called Adopt an Area in Tiverton.” Currently there are about 70 participants who have chosen or been assigned an area in town which they clean up on a regular basis, 12 months a year. New members are welcome. Also very important is enforcement of the Litter Ordinance and the Solid Waste Management Ordinance, including publicizing violations of these laws. In this regard, the Litter Committee needs to establish an official and ongoing relationship with Chief Blakey and Captain Jones, invite them to the monthly meeting from time to time, and consider appointing a committee member to be the Police Department liaison.” ■ What did Tiverton look like in the past compared to how it is currently? “Years ago, there was no litter. We had no fast food restaurants, no coffee and donut shops, etc. When you wanted something to drink, you needed a glass, which of course you didn’t throw away. And there were fewer vehicles on the roadways, which is where an amount of litter comes from (tossing things out!) in the current era.” ■ Why do you think the Litter Committee is important? “First of all the Committee is an official body of the town, a subcommittee of the Conservation Commission, and has the authority to speak out when the Litter Ordinance — the law in Tiverton — is violated. For example, the exterior of residences and businesses, by law, are expected to be free of litter and trash. The committee can make considerable progress in this issue by reporting violations to police and requesting citations which may eventually lead to municipal court.” ■ What is the most interesting thing you have found while picking up trash? “Money! The coat pocket that contains the ‘junk’ to be tossed out the car window might also contain a wad of bills.” ■ Do you think the Litter Committee is working? “If not for the Litter Committee, there would be no Litter Ordinance, no ongoing effort (inspired, by the way, by the Tiverton Garden Club’s annual April clean-up) to clean up litter in Tiverton 12 months a year. The Adopt Project considerably enhances this effort, and the RIDOT regularly helps with litter on state roadways.” ■ Why do you suppose people litter? “Thoughtlessness, primarily. Sometimes anger or being rebellious (some data suggest young men in vehicles fit in this category). If drivers see litter already on the roadside, they decide adding more will not hurt — especially if it’s a wooded area. And some people really don’t see the litter, don’t realize it’s a major problem. In addition, trash collection — especially if recyclables are overflowing the bin and it’s windy, which it almost always is, is another significant cause of litter. In general today, at least in our region, it’s a relatively small number of persons who litter.” ■ How long have you been picking up the litter in Tiverton? “Since mid to late 90s. I was retired from my professional work by then and had time to ‘inspect’ the roadways, etc.” ■ Were you always this “gutsy”? “Yes. I am the oldest of five children so I learned at an early age to speak up. My father was very gutsy. — This “gutsy” lady continues to monitor her Adopt area regularly. Pat is persistent with reminding business owners on Main Road to keep their parking lots litter free. She does not hesitate to visit our police station to remind them of the Litter Ordinance. Pat’s valuable experience, advice and knowledge are priceless for Tiverton Conservation and Litter Committee members.

Rewriting history California author's research uncovers new details about Bristol family's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade I BY CHRIST Y NADALIN [email protected] f you have any interest in local history, you know that, once upon a time, some Rhode Islanders made a lot of money in the African slave trade — chiefly, John Brown of Providence and Bristol's James DeWolf. While Brown's role is well known, very little has been written about James DeWolf, and the best source on the history of the family has been "Mount Hope: A New England Chronicle", a 1959 book written by George Locke Howe, a DeWolf descendant. Until now. Cynthia Mestad Johnson, a historian and educator who lives in Southern California, recently published a book called "James DeWolf and the Rhode Island Slave Trade," released at the beginning of April. Using primary source documentation (of which she has 5,000 images and counting), Johnson has fleshed out a narrative that paints a far more complete picture of the 'Absolutely brilliant' business dealings of "Senator Jim" than the one we have had for the past half-century. From California to Bristol How did a Californian who had never been to Rhode Island become so interested in DeWolf's history? Pure chance. She was channel surfing one afternoon and came across "Traces of the Trade," a documentary that examines how a group of DeWolf ancestors process their revelation that they are descended from slave traders. Johnson was intrigued. "How had I never heard of this man," she said. "Why isn't James DeWolf in a single U.S. history textbook?" Motivated to correct the historical record, and just about to dive into her master's thesis, she settled on a new topic. Once she convinced her advisor that she would be able to access appropriate primary resources, she got the green light to change course, and before she knew it she found herself in Rhode Island, digging through the archives of a man she had just heard of. Who was James DeWolf? Local history buffs know, to one extent or another, that DeWolf was a slave trader. He was also a Senator, highly respected as both a politician and local businessman. He obviously wasn't the nicest guy — he is said to have murdered a smallpox-infected slave Cynthia Mestad Johnson by throwing her overboard during an Atlantic crossing — and he got off of that charge. He was good friends with Thomas Jefferson, a fellow slave owner, yet of the regarded as one of the best presidents in U.S. history. But DeWolf was still a man of his time, and, it was said, when the federal government outlawed the importation of slaves into the United States in 1808, he stopped. Right? Wrong. DeWolf continued to pursue his business, easily able to flout the local and federal authorities as the central figure that propped up the local economy. "DeWolf was absolutely brilliant — one of the most brilliant businessmen I have ever read about," says Johnson. "The town was so completely dependent on his success, nobody wanted to see him stopped. DeWolf organized a vertically integrated trading empire from which he controlled all aspects of the business, owning both the enterprise and its ancillary divisions. He had five sitting U.S. Presidents in his back pocket. He was able to masterfully manipulate the the political system for his political gain. He was above the law. Intuitively, Johnson doubted DeWolf packed it in in 1808, and her research turned up historical documents that backed up her suspicions. Among the latest, an 1818 letter found in the collection at Harvard University, in which DeWolf ordered six slaves, requesting three boys and three girls, young, but not small. "What finally stopped DeWolf?" Johnson asked. "He died." Even that did not stop his business, not immediately. "Letters continued to arrive See DEWOLF Page 6 Page B2 East Bay Life April 16-17, 2014 Follow Lauren Harbor Animal Hospital located at 288 Market Street in Warren is OPEN on Sundays!

Frank Blount of the Frances Fleet and Capt. Rick Bellavance of Priority Too Charters, Pt. Judith. This was quite a showing for Rhode Island, as we were three of the 70 recreational fishermen, charter captains, boat manufacturers Capt. Dave and fisheries MONTI policy makers attending the Summit. The Summit gathered recreational fishing leaders from around the country to discuss ways of improving the science, service and stewardship of America’s saltwater recreational resources. The last Recreational Summit was held in 2010. Capt. Bellavance gave a presentation on fishing data collection and the RI Fish for the Future’s efforts (a pilot project that ran this summer) in which eight RI charter captains recorded and collected their catch data in real time on computer tablets on their vessels. Capt. Bellavance said, “I guess you might say I’m a data geek… I believe good reliable data is necessary for effective management.” The Summit’s agenda included developing an action plan that will help shape national fishing law, as the Magnuson-Stevens Act that governs commercial and recreational fishing will be coming before Congress for reauthorization this year. The hope was that the Summit would not only guide legislation but would also serve as an action plan for NOAA in the coming years. Key issues addressed at the Summit focused in the areas of angler satisfaction, healthy recreational fisheries (resource stewardship), science and data both biological and socio-economic, successful relationships between Where’s the bite Recreational fishing regulations approved by Council The Rhode Island Marine Fisheries Council (RIMFC) met this week to review and vote on recreational fishing regulation recommendations for 2014. Their conclusions will be forwarded to Janet Coit, director of the RI Department of Environmental Management, for final consideration and approval. Here is what we can “expect” on select species. Striped bass: Status quo with last year’s regulations, 28” minimum size, a possession limit of two fish/person/day. No closed season. Summer flounder (or fluke): Status quo with last year’s regulations, 18” minimum size, a possession limit of eight fish/person/day. May 1 to December 31 season. Black sea bass: waiting to hear about reductions in this fishery from the ASMFC, it with likely be a 3.2% or 7% reduction. The minimum size is 13” with a shorter season for the first sub-period. If a 3.2% reduction is required the season would run from June 22 to August 31 with a three fish/person/day limit. The second subperiod would run from September 1 to December 31 with a seven fish/person/day limit. If we have Soil testing kiosk set by Master Gardeners URI Master Gardeners, with the cooperation of the Middletown Historical Society, will again offer free soil pH tests and gardening information for residents of Newport County at Paradise Valley Park, corner of Paradise and Prospect Avenues, Middletown, rain or shine, every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. now through the end of September. The Master Gardener volunteers will conduct free soil pH testing and a gardening information kiosk, a service of the URI Master Gardener program, to Rhode Island residents. Services include testing of soil samples for texture and pH, plant and weed identification, and invasive species ID, diseases and insects. They also can answer questions on lawn renovation, grass seed selections, invasive species control, pruning, vegetables and fruit, ornamentals, and pests and disease management for yard sale on Saturday, April 26, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Riverside Sportsman’s Association, East Providence.

At the end of the conference participants prioritized anywhere from fourteen to twenty five possible action steps for each key issue. Participants voted with electronic clickers to prioritize action agenda items. The action agenda items and rankings will be used by NOAA to develop recommendations in regard to MSA Reauthorization and will serve as the guiding principles to develop a formal NOAA policy on recreational fishing.

How to collect a soil sample: ■ Test each area of your garden or lawn separately. ■ Use a clean trowel, combine several smaller samples in each separate area of your property that you wish to test, at a depth of 3 to 4 inches for lawn areas and 6 to 8 inches for vegetables and flowers. ■ Do not sample recently limed, fertilized or very wet soil. The results will be unreliable. ■ Take approximately 1 cup of soil and spread it on a piece of paper to dry overnight. ■ You may bring more than one sample (two or three would be fine) if you wish. ■ Transfer the samples to a paper bag, envelope or plastic bag. Mark the samples and indicate on the bag what is inside. ■ If you are in a hurry, you can have the option of dropping off your sample and getting the results by e-mail or phone.

Scup: 10” minimum size with the 30 fish/person/day limit with a May 1 to December 31 season. The bag limit for party and charter boats from September 1 to October 31 will increase to 45 fish. The Council voted to expand the 9” minimum size Special Area Provision for shore anglers that was engaged last year for the first time.

Tautog will likely have a 16” minimum size like last year with a split season, however, the spring season will likely start two weeks earlier on April 1 and run through May 31, the second sub season will run from August 1 to October 17; both periods will likely have a three fish/person/day limit. A closed season will occur June 1 to July 31, as this is a high spawning period for tautog. The limit increases to six fish/person/day from October 18 to December 15.

East Bay Anglers fishermen’s yard sale The East Bay Anglers will hold their third annual fishermen’s Fresh water fishing on opening day and after was great this week as anglers found it easy to catch their limit with the 80,000 trout DEM stocked in over 100 ponds and lakes in RI. John Littlefield of Archie’s Bait & Tackle, East Providence said, “Willet Avenue Pond in Riverside had action all day with anglers easily catching their limit, but the Brickyard Pond in Barrington is a lot larger and anglers found it more difficult to fish their limit.” Striped bass fishing has started in the Narrow River. Fly fisherman Ed Lombardi said, “We got into some stripers yesterday late afternoon (last Wednesday) at Narrow River.” Lombardi said flies that worked included four inch streamers in dark blue and gray on top, and shrimp patterns. Fishing in the Providence River on either side of the hurricane barrier continues to be good (these are holdovers). Noted local shore angler, author and lecturer Steve McKenna said, “I’ve been fishing two to three times a week at the West Wall at the Harbor of Refuge and as of Sunday morning I have not caught of heard of anyone catching striped bass that are part of the spring run. But it is getting close, conditions are right, any day now. Dave Pickering (another noted shore angler) said that holdover bass are moving out of the Rivers and those are the being caught at Narrow River. Cod fishing was slow again last week as boats did not get out often due to rough sea conditions. Captain Dave Monti has been fishing and shellfishing on Narragansett Bay for over 40 years.

Page B4 East Bay Life April 16-17, 2014 DOWN TO EARTH I dine locally. Don't abandon indoor plants t’s not often that I imagine my plants quoting dead poets. Or living ones for that matter. But I can almost hear my indoor collection sigh, “April is the cruellest month.” Suddenly, right when they need me the most, I have abandoned them and gone outside to garden. It’s not as if I can help it. None of us could. We’ve been waiting so impatiently for spring to arrive that as soon as the sun came Kristin out, the peepers GREENE peeped, and the ice-cream trucks started making their rounds, didn’t we all bolt out of the house like a shot, not to return until supper? Trouble is, like everything outside, our houseplants are going through a growth spurt too, which must be every bit as painful as T.S. Eliot suggests. All winter long I was able to keep a once-a-week watering schedule. Doing the rounds every Saturday morning worked out perfectly. Plants like begonias and citrus that needed to go a little bit dry between watering did, and the ferns and ficus that needed more consistent soil moisture somehow managed to never quite dry out. The halfdormant plants out in my chilly “plantry” required watering even less frequently. Every other Saturday seemed to suit them fine. That has all changed now. Longer days and a sun that keeps rising higher, hotter, and brighter are universal cues to get growing even for plants that spent the winter relatively warm behind or under glass. And as they begin to photosynthesize in earnest again, they take up more water from the soil and more nutrients too. Come to think of it, this is the time to begin fertilizing. If only I wasn’t so distracted by the garden outside. Some of my houseplants have reacted to my distraction by handing out ultimatums. For many of them, wilting is a red flag signaling, “pay attention to me right this minute or I will die.” For others it’s an incommutable death sentence. The stress of abandonment and temperature fluctuations between sun-warmed days and winterchilly nights, together with succulent new growth has also suddenly attracted infestations of aphid and scale. Since I hadn’t noticed sap-sucking populations in residence over the winter, I have to guess that they sponta- neously generated out of thin air and opportunity. “April is the cruellest month.” I’m not sure how they got word but the fully dormant plants stored down cellar in the dark seem to know it’s spring too. Perhaps warmer ambient temperatures can be credited for spurring some anemic looking new growth that begs for the light of day. In any case, it’s time to give fuchsias, salvias, tuberous begonias, fig, and brugmansia a transition and a head start on the season. They should come upstairs and in this particular household, the only way to make room for more plants is to move others out. April nights are cold but as long as the long range forecast doesn’t mention any temperature too near or below freezing, plants like New Zealand flax (Phormium tenax), camellia, and geranium (Pelargonium spp.) that hail from temperate (rather than tropical) climes can begin to join us outside in the garden. And just like us as we venture out, they could use some protection --- in their case, shade for a couple of weeks at least --- to keep them from burning. Meanwhile, all of the plants still stuck inside need attending to. They need watering much more frequently. Fertilizing. Insect patrol and grooming. Time that I’m sure we’d all much rather spend outdoors. But to lose, this close to summer, any of the plants that helped keep us sane over the winter, would be truly painful. So let’s not forget about them in April. wicked BIGdeals .com Wednesday, March 26th through Sunday, April 6th The newest way to shop in the East Bay ADDITIONAL % 10 off Any New Purchase of $100 or Higher Limit one coupon or dicount per purchase.

The Audubon Society of Rhode Island manages the Rhode Island Osprey Monitoring Program, a network of volunteer observers who report on the breeding success of these fish-eating raptors. The program relies on approximately seventy-five volunteers to monitor over two hundred known nesting sites in Rhode Island. To accomplish this important citizen science program, new volunteers are needed each year. If you are interested in becoming a monitor, email Jon Scoones at [email protected] or call him at 401/949-5454 for more information. An orientation session will be held from 6 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, April 22, at the Audubon Environmental Education Center in Bristol. “We continue to study Osprey as they are an excellent indicator of environmental health in aquatic BUTCH LOMBARDI ecosystems, “ explains Scoones. “Their dramatic story includes impressive migrations to and from South America each year and the remarkable recovery from the effects of DDT make them a good ambassador for nature.” Thanks to efforts by the Audubon Society of Rhode Island and other environmental groups, DDT was banned in 1972 and Osprey have made a tremendous comeback in Rhode Island. DiMucci concert will mark Linden Place opening Linden Place Mansion will open the season with a springtime evening concert with pianist and tenor Michael DiMucci in the mansion’s historic ballroom at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 2.

Henry A. Fellela, Jr., spouse of a Johnston state legislator, should have the book thrown at him. He finally admitted, in the face of overwhelming evidence, that he had fraudulently collected $58,000 in social security benefits for eight years, Arlene claiming that he VIOLET was unable to work due to mental illness. He had previously applied for supplemental benefits in 1999 but they were terminated after he was convicted of credit card fraud and mail theft. After his release from the hoosegow he applied within weeks for the benefits again while feigning homelessness. He, of course, was in residence with his wife, Rep. Deborah A. Fellela. Then, the Senate Judiciary Committee “held the bill" on the abolition of the “master lever” since some members needed more time to study it. They must be very slow learners since the legislation has been perennially on the docket. The owner of the so-called Superman Building now wants close to $40 million to renovate his property. Since when should entrepreneurs have the state and city bail them out for their improvident business judgment? The public hasn’t heard how much the company made during the good ole’ days when the Bank of America was renting there and, given the $24 million tax write-off the company logged on its tax returns, they probably broke even. As usual, the owner brought out the old chestnut about how many jobs would be created by the renovation. This argument makes about as much sense as authorizing the construction of a pyramid or catacombs in Burnside Park because it would create construction jobs. Meanwhile, the pension settlement was nixed by a group of police officers and that was supposed to kill the deal. So, in typical Rhode Island fashion, the rules changed and now the judge has them in negotiation settlements behind closed doors where the ca-ching sound emanates to the detriment of everyone, including taxpayers.

Governor Lincoln Chafee deserves credit for doing the right thing. Hats off to the feds. The settlement brought me back to the days when I was an attorney at RIPAS (Rhode Island Protection and Advocacy System). A federal lawsuit to stop the heinous conditions at the Ladd School (where residents’ teeth were being pulled without Novocain and they lay in their own feces in dorms that were actually warehouses) had stalled in federal court, so the parents and the ARC (Association of Retarded Citizens) decided to change attorneys. They asked executive director Peg Tormey if RIPAS could take over the suit. Within a year a settlement was reached, which led to the group homes and independent living of today. Throughout the litigation the state threatened to withhold RIPAS funding because of RIPAS’ rigorous prosecution of state officials. At risk of her job, Peg Tormey would not be intimidated. Hundreds of parents of handicapped children, whom RIPAS had aided along with Ladd Center parents, protested — and funding was restored. I often am comforted by the fact that with all the shenanigans in the state, it’s people like Peg Tormey who are its heart and soul. DEWOLF: New book reveals vast scope of local slave trade From Page 1 addressed to him for a short period of time afterwards from his land managers and captains that continued to discuss the business of slaves." James is not the only DeWolf whose history needs editing. In a parallel to the Brown family history, in which Moses, the Quaker abolitionist Brown brother, publicly battled with brother John about the latter's morally bankrupt avocation, Howe's book cast James' brother Levi as someone who went on one slaving voyage, was sickened by the entire business of it, and retired to his family farm (presentday Juniper Hill Cemetery) in Bristol to grow his onions. Johnson's research revealed that perhaps "Quaker Levi" was not quite as offended by the filthy lucre that slaving brought, finding evidence that while his involvement was a shadow of James', he nonetheless participated in at least 10 voyages, and continued to act as an agent for his brothers long after. Presented with the evidence, a dismayed descendant with a collection of Levi's letters said "When I saw all those references to cargo, I assumed he was talking about onions." On the lam DeWolf spent four years avoiding the aforementioned murder charge, some of which he spent on the island of St. Eustatius, where he maintained a holding facility where slaves who were sickened by the crossing could recover prior to sale. It was not difficult to evade capture with a marshall (William Peck) who "couldn't find" DeWolf (despite the fact that DeWolf managed to return to Bristol often enough to inpregnate wife Nancy twice during his years on the run), and an extended family assisting in the ruse, including his esteemed father-in-law, Governor William Bradford, who personally lobbied to have the charges dropped. Johnson's picture of the DeWolf family trade continues to grow with each new source she uncovers. Thought to have been responsible for the importation of roughly 10,000 slaves into the United States, Johnson's research definitively accounts for nearly 30,000 individuals. Johnson is not sure what direction her next project will take her, but she would like to investigate another facet of the largely untold story of the Rhode Island slave trade. She'll be coming east in June and July to do some more research and make a decision about her next step. She will also be speaking at Linden Place at 7 p.m. on Monday, June 19, and the Bristol Historical and Preservation Society will be hosting an author meet-and-greet on Sunday, June 22. "James DeWolf and the Rhode Island Slave Trade" by Cynthia Mestad Johnson can be found at Linden Place, Paper Packaging and Panache, Barrington Books, Parters Village Store, and the BHPS, as well as at major booksellers.

Besides professional quality video, your are also able to take some amazing photos. You can shoot 12 megapixel stills at up to 30 images per second. There is also a Time Lapse mode for automatic captures at set intervals as well as a continuous shoot which allows for a 3-10 images per second burst. There is a down side to such a small size — key features are missing. You won't find a viewfinder or LCD screen for viewing your scene or playing back video. It’s just a lens attached to a box. The lack of visual feedback can seem strange at first but makes sense. You are either wearing the camera or attaching it to your gear as document your activity. You are not viewing the world through a viewfinder. There is an attachable rear LCD display which can be purchased, or you can download an app for your mobile device. The camera's built-in Wi-Fi allows you to sync it to your phone to view what you are shooting in near real-time. Performance After watching hours of amazing videos of surfers, snowboarders, kayakers and other athletes, I was eager to rip open the box, strap on the Hero3+ Black and go shoot some videos. Unfortunately, I couldn't. You need a microSD memory card in order to shoot video as well as to download the firmware upgrade. After a quick trip to the big department store, I was ready to shoot. The Hero3+ Black comes with a few different mounts to attach your GoPro to your gear; one curved and one flat adhesive mount, and a threeway pivot arm. Unfortunately, there wasn't a mount included for me to use when hiking. I could have mounted it to a helmet with the curved adhesive mount or create some DIY mount but it would work right for me. I ended up getting the Head Strap Mount + QuickClip for $20 at a local retailer. It was the best mount for what I'll be mostly filming (hiking, swimming and kayaking). Now that I was finally able to use the GoPro, I brushed up on the user's manual and went out to the bush for some field testing. I found that it takes some practice and memorization to select the filming mode and to record your video when using the buttons on the camera. To turn the camera on you press and hold the power button until the red light next to the button blinks and beeps three times. To power down, press and hold the button down until the light blinks and beeps seven times. To start a recording you press the shutter button once. You can change the modes by repeatedly pressing the power button to cycle through the modes. I found that it was much easier to use either the iPhone app or the accompanying Wi-Fi remote. You don't need to fiddle blindly with the camera strapped to you trying get to different modes. A quick tap on your phone and you're filming. Its also very easy to switch modes and take photos with the app. I spent a few hours hiking some trails, spotting wildlife and enjoying a beautiful cold day. The head mount fit perfectly under my winter hat, leaving the camera free and my head warm. Using the app, I was able to start and stop recording and line up some shots for pictures. It was nice to also be able to share some pics thru the app while I was out exploring. I was surprised on how long the battery lasted. Using the Wi-Fi and filming more than an hour, I thought the battery would have died but it lasted the whole time. Back at the house, I connected the USB cord and began uploading all of my footage. Depending on your video settings, the file sizes for your clips can be pretty large. I filmed at the highest quality which made those files huge. I could have used a lower resolution and frame rate (which is what I am now doing). I'm eagerly waiting for warmer weather to film some snorkeling trips and maybe mount it to a net when crabbing. The Hero3+ Black Edition comes with a waterproof housing that is good up to 131 feet. All in all, the Hero3+ Black was easy to use and produced pro quality video. In the box The Hero3+ Black Edition comes with the GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition camera, Waterproof Housing (Up to 131 ft./40 m), WiFi Remote, Li-ion battery, Quick release buckle, Vertical quick release buckle, One curved and one flat adhesive mount, Threeway pivot arm,USB charging cable. The optional GoPro mobile App can be download for your iPhone, Android device or Windows phone. The bottom line The only negatives, if you want to call them that, is that it doesn't come with a memory card or a wearable mount. Those are extra. A head mount can be easily found for about $20 and a memory card for $15. Not a huge issue but if you want to play with the camera as soon as you take it out of the box you'll need to take a trip to the nearest store or order one along with the camera. This is an awesome camera. The video and image qualities are superb. The Hero3+ Black Edition takes photos as good as my professional camera and shoots footage better than my camcorder. Its tiny, super lightweight and can be attached to anything. The prices is comparable to other camcorders and digital cameras which makes it accessible for most households. The Hero3+ Black Edition is must have.

It’s so popular, the restaurant has been voted Best Italian-East Bay in Providence Monthly for several years. And, now, owner Bob Vanderhoof and Chef Chris Ferreira are serving up a spectacular Sunday brunch. Palm Sunday was the first day for brunch, and the restaurant was packed with couples and families enjoying the sunny morning. The dining room is elegant with hanging glass lamps that hold candles, tiny lights around the windows, red carnations and baby’s breath on each table, sparkling white tablecloths and black napkins. And, the comfortable rooms, with their black beadboard wainscoting and pale gray walls, have hardwood floors, colorful photos of Italy, and a big mural of the Tuscan countryside. The mahogany bar area is a popular spot to dine and features a massive wine rack on one wall and an interesting mosaic opposite made of the wooden sides from cases of imported wines. Our server Marissa brought coffee and a bloody Mary and a mimosa while we surveyed the menu. The bloody Mary had its rim dipped in salt, pepper and celery seeds — a nice touch that also added a bit of bite. The two-page menu offers such a variety of dishes that it’s difficult to choose, but there are “Small Plates” in addition to “Large Plates” and half or full sizes for the pancakes of the day, the lobster mac and cheese, some of the salads and the crab cakes. That’s good for those of us who love to get a variety of dishes and share them.

And, brunch on Sundays is served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Reservations are suggested. Most popular dishes: This was the first Sunday brunch, but the staff had taken the menu for a spin ahead of time and were recommending the French toast, sticky buns, the Benedicts, and the pesto grilled shrimp. Starting with the Small Plates, there are the crab cakes, pesto grilled shrimp, fried calamari, a croque madame (ham, gruyere, a fried egg and arugula on a baguette), corned beef hash with a poached egg and Mornay sauce, steak frites (grilled hanger steak and house french fries) and house sticky buns. Salads include the popular Tuscan panzanella (bread salad), the classic honey mustard Caesar, and a house salad. For Large Plates, choose from eggs Benedict, Florentine Benedict (sautéed spinach and tomato), crow’s nest Benedict (corned beef hash), crab cake Oscar Benedict, eggs any style with bacon or sausage and toast, pancakes of the day (which were chocolate chip topped with bananas on our visit), cheese omelet (with a list of add-ins, if desired, of mushrooms, spinach, tomato, onion, chouriço, and peppers), bananas Foster French toast, BLT with pesto mayo, lobster mac and cheese, a grilled chicken sandwich on chili brioche with caramelized onion jam, gruyere and garlic tomato mayo, and pesto gamberetti (shrimp, pesto cream and fresh tomatoes over linguini). Sandwiches come with sweet potato fries. And, there are sides of bacon, sausage, chouriço, corned beef hash, sweet potato fries, fresh fruit and homefries. We started with the pesto grilled shrimp. Big, fat shrimp coated in pesto are grilled, split and then artfully arranged over a beautifully fresh salad of shaved Brussels sprouts, corn and tomatoes — just a perfect combination of colors, flavors and textures and ideal for spring. We loved this so much, it was good news to hear it’s also on the dinner menu. Roberto’s excellent crab cakes are perfect tucked into the Oscar Benedict, with poached eggs and crisp-tender grilled asparagus on a big, toasted English muffin, all napped in a creamy Hollandaise. The homefries are simply prepared and delicious — cubed potatoes fried until just slightly crisp so you can enjoy the moist tender potato inside. The bananas Foster French toast is decadently divine. A big fat slice of Italian bread is slit open along one side and stuffed with fresh banana slices before being soaked in custard and sautéed. The inside was moist and custardy, with nice chewy edges. And a creamy rum, brown sugar butter melted over the top. We had to try a sticky bun and the big, saucer-sized yeast dough spiral was appropriately sticky and rich with cinnamon and nuts. Perfect with a second cup of coffee. Or, try a cappuccino or espresso. If you want to try dinner at Roberto’s, there are housemade soups, salads, all your favorite pasta dishes from piccatas to carbonara and Bolognese, seafood dishes, bracciole and so much more. And, for those who enjoy dining at Roberto’s for graduations, rehearsal dinners, showers and other special events, a private banquet room next door, decorated in the same style as the main dining room, seats up to 50.

This has become the favorite destination for all of our kids, and we hope will be a place we introduce to the next generation of our family. ences, I’ve been able to gain valuable experience. Real estate provides me an opportunity to share this passion with others as I help them find that special place which becomes their home." WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT IT? "I enjoy the people. Every family is a unique challenge of finding the right house, in the right neighborhood, that will exceed their expectations while living within their budget. It is incredibly rewarding when you can help a client find the house that will become their home." ADVICE FOR CLIENTS? "My advice to any buyer or seller would be to find an agent that you can 'trust.' Someone you are comfortable with and who understands your wants, needs and expectations. The partnership you form with your representative will have a huge impact on your real estate experience. My goal is to form a partnership, which is far more than just the buying or selling of a house." HOBBIES?

I remember moving my bedroom furniture around as a child weekly. To this day my parents tell me about how I have had a flare, bordering on obsession, for staging and decorating since childhood. My parents would leave the house and return to find furniture relocated. My obsession has now become an integral part of my occupation and a service I provide my clients. When I’m not redecorating, I like to cook, read, garden and enjoy traveling."

Eyes are immediately drawn to the beautiful Sakonnet River and all its activity — recreational and commercial boaters, tugboats, cruise ships, waterfowl and much more. Originally built in 1894, the property was completely renovated top to bottom, featuring new piers and foundation, new roof, windows, siding and more. It’s a special place, say its present owners, who accidentally found this gem while exploring the coastline. Coming from Australia, Sharon and Mark Moore said they were drawn to the quaintness of Riverside Drive. "It’s like a village; something you’d see in Europe,” said Sharon. Mark, a custom finish carpenter, took great pride building the cabinetry in the custom kitchen, and most of the other work, as well. The interior is bright and airy, with pine floors, stainless appliances, stacked laundry, natural gas fireplace and gas-fired instant hot water and radiant heat. ! $474,000 ! 3 bedrooms ! 1 bathroom Exterior: It's difficult to imagine, but this home was originally built in 1894.
