Times Portsmouth THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 2015 eastbayri.com VOL. 3, NO. 1 FREE Jumping into 2015 New Year’s Day revelers ran out of the water even faster than they went in during the annual polar plunge at Island Park Beach last Thursday. Getting the bonfire started took longer, but firefighter Rob Maglione finally got it started after throwing a flare into the tall pile of wood. For story and more pictures, see page 3. PHOTOS BY JIM MCGAW Kids’ activities top wish lists for Portsmouth Other suggestions: 24hour diner, more light industrial development BY JIM MCGAW [email protected] If a magic genie approached you and asked what you wished for Portsmouth going forward, what would you say? We asked that very question of residents — past and present — and they gave us an earful. While their answers were many and varied, the overriding consensus was that the town needs to offer more activities for children and teens to keep them occupied and out of trouble. Fortunately for them, the town is taking steps to do just that. The Town Council recently approved a plan to revive a recreation program for the town (see page 4 for more). Some others wanted to see spe- Fish magnet?

One person even wished that residents showed more Christmas spirit by putting more lights on their property. Read on to hear more ideas. If you’d like to submit your own two cents, do so by writing us at [email protected]. Johna M. Spencer: “It is very important for this town to have more stuff for kids. We definitely need a recreation department again. It shouldn't be all about sports, though. Maybe a community center where middle-schoolers or teenagers can go. Like Sharon said, maybe bowling or roller skating — can you imagine that coming back? We need to take care of our kids.” Sharon Garceau Langton: “Something for kids.

The reefs would consist of “Reef Balls,” manufactured beehiveshaped concrete structures riddled with holes that, proponents hope, would provide homes and gathering places for sea life including fish. These would be lowered into three half-acre sites (quarter-acre reef plus buffer) — off Weaver Cove in Portsmouth’s Melville area; in Mt. Hope Bay north of Portsmouth’s Town Pond and Common Fence Point; and a third midway between these two. All have similar sandy bottoms and are 15 to 25 feet deep. Each site would contain 30 clusters of three sizes of Reef Balls — 4 feet, 3 feet and 2 feet wide, with the biggest weighing 1,300 pounds. The experiment seeks to answer a few fundamental fish questions, says Chris Deacutis, a supervising environmental scientist with the state Department of Environmental Management. (RIDEM) These include: ■Will fish such as black sea bass and others gather at the new artificial reefs? ■ And if, as expected, fish do come, “are you actually increasing the number of fish in the area “or are you just getting an influx of local fish drawn to your site from existing natural reefs?” That, Mr. PHOTO COURTESY OF REEFBALL.ORG Sea life begins attaching itself to a small Reef Ball. Deacutis added, “is not a good thing," especially if the result is that more of the fish wind up getting caught by anglers. The project is backed by the RIDEM and The Nature Conservancy with support from the RI Saltwater Anglers Association, a recreational fishermen’s group. Less enthusiastic are some commercial fishermen represented by the RI Fishermen’s Alliance. David Beutel, aquaculture and fisheries coordinator with the CRMC, said the Alliance has raised several concerns, including that: ■ The reefs would convert a commercial fishing area to a strictly recreational one; ■ Some of the fish might eat lobster whose bay numbers are already depressed; ■ A similar study was already done some years ago in Dutch Map shows three locations for the proposed fish reefs. Harbor (Mr. Beutel said the new study is different from the earlier one). It is Mr. Beutel’s job to offer a recommendation to the CRMC and he said that he will recom- Upper Melville Pond is among those the R.I. Department of Environmental Management (DEM) is stocking with trout for the winter fishing season. Beginning Tuesday, DEM began stocking about 3,000 trout in eight ponds statewide. Besides Upper Melville Pond, the others are Carbuncle Pond in Coventry, Olney Pond in Lincoln, Barber Pond in South Kingstown, Silver Spring Lake in North Kingstown and Round Top Ponds in Burrillville. “Even though there is no ice currently, we have had many beautiful days for fishing this winter,” said Catherine Sparks, assistant director for natural resources at DEM. “Getting out in the fresh air is a great way to start the new year and generate excitement for opening day in April.” Anglers can be assured that winter stocked fish will hold over opening day, set for April 11, according to DEM. DEM reminds anglers of a new regulation that began in 2012 prohibiting the use of felt soled or any porous material footgear in any fresh waters of Rhode Island. This includes any waters shared with adjacent states in which Rhode Island fishing regulations apply. Although there is no ice at this time, DEM advises anglers to check with individual communities regarding safe ice conditions on local ponds before going ice fishing. DEM does not monitor ice conditions on local lakes and ponds. Ice must have a uniform thickness of at least six inches before it is considered safe by DEM. It generally takes at least five to seven consecutive days of temperatures in the low 20s for safe ice to form, according to DEM. In addition to the requisite cold temperatures, ice thickness is also determined by factors such as the size and depth of a pond, presence of springs or currents, and local temperature fluctuations. DEM has an ice safety guide that can be found online at www.riparks.com. mend approval, with several stipulations. One stipulation is that the Reef Balls be securely tied together to prevent them from being moved about by a storm. Mr. Deacutis said he is aware of the commercial fishermen’s concerns. Initially, the idea was to forbid all commercial fishing within the reef areas. That has changed, he said, to restricting certain gear such as “trawls and traps that have the potential to destroy the reef.” If the CRMC approves the plan, Reef Ball installation would take place next spring, Mr. Deacutis said. Each site would be marked with a buoy cautioning people not to anchor within the area. He expects that it would take about four years to begin to learn the impact of the reef project. “We will monitor both the reef sites and natural rock reefs” to learn about any fish population trends. Questions need Mr. Beutel said he will recommend the project in general to the CRMC because it is experimental and will help add to knowledge about artificial reefs and fish populations. The project is sound, he said, but personally he wonders about the need for the new reefs here. Being at the southern end of the glacial moraine, the sea bottom here already contains significant numbers of rocks and features where fish gather, Mr. DeAcutis said. That is unlike other places, such as off the Delaware and New Jersey coasts where the need for artificial reefs may be greater due to the relatively featureless sea bottom. Mr. Deacutis said he is “really enthused about (the project’s) goal and objectives to clarify how well artificial reefs provide new secondary production (new fish added to the population) for sport fishing.” The CRMC hearing begins at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 13, in Conference Room A at the Administration Building, 1 Capitol Hill, Providence. 401-683-6284 | Mathnasium.com/Portsmouth We provide Support - Enrichment - Test Prep - Homework Help Grades 2-12 Portsmouth Times January 8, 2015 Page 3 ‘Penguins’ herald in 2015 with icy dip Technical difficulties with bonfire don’t dampen revelers’ enthusiasm BY JIM MCGAW [email protected] The plunge itself was over in seconds, but lighting the bonfire on the beach? That was another story. After building a tall stack of wood on Island Park Beach and dousing it with gasoline, organizers initialON THE WEB ly had trouble getting it lit to keep “penguins” and Find more “polar bears” warm after frigid photos the annual New Year’s Day from the polar plunge plunge last week. The online at strong wind coming from eastbayri.com the west repeatedly snuffed out any spark as soon as it had started. Finally, a brainstorm: Members of the Fire Department, who were on hand to keep things safe, retrieved some old flares for the occasion. Firefighter Rob Maglione finally got the blaze going after tossing a few of them in. It was a slightly smaller turnout than in the previous two years, mainly because news of the plunge had come only a couple of days earlier. John Vitkevich was the unofficial chairman-by-default of the festivities, which lost its regular post-plunge hangout after The Beach House further up Park Avenue closed several months ago. (Some plungers suggested Tremblay’s as the replacement.) “Last year was big because of the 375th celebration, but this year someone called me and said, ‘What’s the deal? Are you doing it?’” said Mr. Vitkevich, who quickly agreed. (The Portsmouth 375th Steering Committee hosted two plunges in 2013 — one to kick off the year on Jan. 1, the other to end it on Dec. 31. Many swimmers also turned out to take the splash on Jan. 1, 2014.) Mr. Vitkevich, one of the main opponents of the Sakonnet River Bridge toll that was eliminated last June, had previously taken the dip with the phase “No tolls” painted on his back. This year, it read, “? Tolls.” One of the youngest swimmers was Ben Farrea, who celebrated his 13th birthday on Tuesday and was making his debut New Year’s Day plunge. Ben was reluctant to brave the icy waters he was “bribed” into doing so by family members who promised to take him out for a hamburger afterwards. “We told him he had to jump in,” joked family friend Lynda Comfort. “It was awful. I hated it,” said Ben while shivering under a towel. Would he do it again? “Oh yeah,” he said. Richard Meyer, who was the last to jump in, said this was his fourth year doing the plunge. Chris Freitas warms up by the bonfire after it was finally lit. Heather Sousa, Rob Hill and Amanda Hill pose before taking the icy dip. John Vitkevich, one of the more prominent opponents of the Sakonnet River Bridge toll, shows off his body paint following the swim. Many revelers stayed by the bonfire long after the plunge was over.

From Page 1 so I agree we need something more for our children to do — something all year, not just in the summer months. Something they will enjoy going to and continue going to — a game room perhaps, with a roller rink.” Frances-Elayne Johnson: “Anything for the kids offline and preferably outdoors!” Jim Lipe: “Bring back the soap box derby with some adults allowed to race! Open the old swimming hole, with a new rope swing.” Marsha Laflamme Sheldon: “We need more for the kids (middle school and up) and we need more variety for shopping. I think a Target or (something) similar would keep people shopping here rather than off the island.” Rhoda Tarpey Bucci: “I no longer live in Portsmouth but I don't think it ‘needs’ a Target. I enjoy Target but I'm for keeping Portsmouth the community feeling I grew up with, so more activities to keep the young people in town to enjoy that ‘hometown’ feeling that I grew up knowing.” Cindi Leary-Johnson: “The tax base is maintained by our small businesses (and Dunkin’ Donuts). These small businesses would close if Target came to town; that does nothing for the tax base. Keep our local hardware, fabric store, dress shops, shoe store, etc. open and healthy. Selling out is a quick fix which will bite you quickly down the road.” nesses would be ecologically conscious of their surroundings and not pollute the area. I know some people would like to see a retail complex in town. I'm hoping this property stays industrial. Or better yet, become farmland again.” John Farley: “I want to see the “It is very important for this town to have more stuff for kids. It shouldn't be all about sports, though.” JOHNA M. SPENCER Gary Edwards: “No one wants Starbucks, or Target or housing developments. Well, those are the things that provide a tax base that I suspect the town needs. Of course everyone wants the town to be like it was when we grew up there, and that can occur, but at what price? Private development can be regulated and monitored so the ambiance of the community isn't compromised, but funds have to come from somewhere.” John Vitkevich: “Light industrial commercial growth on West Main Road because the tax base needs it. We can’t continue to pay for the stuff that we have to pay for with just residential tax dollars. Whatever we can — and yes, I am a commercial, light industrial developer — but I recognize that we need it. More residential is not the answer.” Joe Sousa: “There needs to be a mix. If you look at Swansea Mall Drive, you see big and small mixed and it works well. The shopping district didn't ruin Swansea.” Johna M. Spencer: “It would be beneficial to the town for Raytheon to sell off their empty buildings to a business or businesses so as to keep them on the tax rolls as commercial and not to become another housing complex. I'm hoping that the busi- economy continue to grow and improve, locally and globally.” Deborah Laflamme: “How about if they repave the streets? I don't ever remember Cedar Avenue being that bad. It's a trip hazard for the elderly walking up the road.” Gary Edwards: “I agree with Cedar Avenue being in terrible condition. I walked from our vacation rental on Coral Avenue in Island Park just off Cedar JIM LIPE Avenue to my mom's house on Cove Street last summer and couldn't believe the poor condition of the streets.” Gwen Baer: “The dump needs a swap shop to leave good stuff you don't need anymore, so it doesn’t end up in the landfill.” Jeff Pimentel: “Let’s kill this idea for pay-as-you-throw trash before it starts.” Kristine Perkins: “How about a bakery? Remember Picard's (the former Colonial Bakery) across from the IGA?” Ellen Davis: “A laundromat?” John Leary: “A 24-hour diner.” Joe Sousa: “Rock concerts at the Glen.” Lori Fitzgerald said she wanted to see improvements made at the town-owned Sandy Point Beach. “I grew up in Portsmouth,” she said. “Upon leaving, I started paying the price for an out-of-town Sandy Point Beach sticker. I'm not sure where the $50 fee goes. Most afternoons the restrooms are locked and no one has a place to change or facilities to use. Last summer I saw many people head behind the building when they were unable to get in to the restrooms. Why not leave the restrooms unlocked longer? Maybe one half hour before sunset would be a good time to lock them. Fifty dollars is a lot of cash to pay only to find out you have nowhere to change into a swimsuit.” Frances-Elayne Johnson: “Christmas lights on more houses. They were everywhere when I was at PHS. (It’s) somewhat depressing driving down the street I grew up on and it's all dark, except for one house. Same thing on a lot of streets.” Sheila Warren Barker: “Teaching local history in the schools. There's just so much that happened in our area.” One woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said she wanted to see seasonal parking meters installed along Park Avenue. “We have a large population from Rhode Island and Massachusetts visiting the beach as well as the restaurants. This would bring in revenue and deter some people who may not be an asset to the area. Please don't take that the wrong way,” she said. “Bring back the soap box derby with some adults allowed to race!” Portsmouth Times January 8, 2015 Page 5 Klimm: Town close to hiring head of new recreation department Many people who shared their hopes and desires for Portsmouth going forward said the town needs more activities for young kids and teenagers. Well, their wishes may soon come true. In October the Town Council unanimously voted to establish a Parks, Recreation, Arts and Activities Department for a trial period of 18 months. On Tuesday, Town Administrator John Klimm said plans for the new department are moving along smoothly. “The Town Council did create a recreation department from now until June 30, 2016,” Mr. Klimm said in a telephone message left with The Portsmouth Times. “We advertised for a part-time director and we’ve gotten some excellent applications. We’re down to, I believe, five finalists, so we’ll be making a decision shortly on staff and then we’re off and running in establishing a new department.” Mr. Klimm had first recommended reviving the town recreation department — one existed years ago but was eliminated — in a September 2014 letter to the council. “We are one of the few communities in Rhode Island without a formal recreation department and it is my opinion that the absence of professional recreation staff has placed an unfair and unacceptable burden on other town employees who have other and more pressing obligations,” Mr. Klimm stated in the letter. Mr. Klimm is a former town manager in Barnstable, Mass., which had 276 employees in its recreation department, he’s previously told the council. The projected budget for the new department, according to estimates Mr. Klimm has previously given the council, would be about $25,000 annually — or $37,500 over the 18-month period. He expressed confidence, however, that the department could fund itself. When the council approved the department on a trial basis last October, it included the condition that the program would be selfsufficient. — Jim McGaw Polo match scenes featured in TV series If you’re watching the new Smithsonian Channel miniseries, “Million Dollar American Princesses,” you may have spotted some familiar turf. Each segment includes scenes filmed at the Newport International Polo Series at Glen Farm, when the USA team faced Scotland on June 21, 2014. Other scenes were filmed on location in Newport, including at the Marble House. The three-part show, which premiered Sunday and continues Jan. 11 and 18 at 8 p.m., chronicles the stories of real American heiresses and their arranged marriages to British nobility at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Between 1880 and 1920, as many as 350 British aristocrats married wealthy American brides — the so-called “Dollar Princesses.” The series chronicles the true stories of how marriage, class, sex, ambition, power and money all converged during these four decades, as the sun began setting over the British Empire. Hosted by Elizabeth McGovern, the show reveals the stories of some of the most charismatic and adventurous women of their day, and how they interacted with the great social changes that ushered in the 20th century. It uses historical documents, interviews and dramatic re-enactments to bring to life the stories of these women’s romances, heartbreaks, secrets, scandals and their enduring legacy.

ACHIEVEMENTS HARRISON ROBINSON of Portsmouth, a senior at Pomfret School, was recently part of an all-school academic experiment called Project: Pomfret. From Dec. 2 to 17, in place of structured class time and homework, students tackled one of 27 innovative exercises in learning that saw plenty of overlap between academic disciplines. Harrison was in the group of students and faculty who collaborated on a project entitled “Goal: A Global Passion,” in which students investigated the history and culture of the game of soccer, and explored the phenomenon of its tremendous popularity worldwide. AT THE LIBRARY From Page 9 setts with scandal. Lost amongst all the celebrity and gossip was one important historical tidbit — Lizzie was found not guilty. Given that fact, an even smaller group of people, including the two authors of this book, pondered this question: If Lizzie was found not guilty, who was the actual murderer of Andrew and Abby Borden? It is now time to let Lizbeth tell you her side of the proceedings as the truth is revealed and the actual killer is discovered. This fascinating account of the case was chosen by Bridgewater State University for its 2015 selection for the One Book-One Community reading project.

He’s holding out a hook so small, and so light, it actually fits inside Roosevelt’s ear on the bas-relief of the “heads” side of a dime. “This is the smallest functional hook made,” Sousa says. “Very few people can tie on a hook this small.” Almost as an afterthought, he acknowledges, “I’m probably one of them.” The hook is so small, it’s hard to believe that it would catch a fish worth the nanofinesse required to create a tie to fit. Certainly nothing bigger than a fat minnow, or a small sardine, at most. Sousa gestures, the international language of fisherman everywhere, a space 14 to 18 inches between his palms. “Big trout,” he says. “Finesse and fatigue.” Proving that with fly fishing, like with so many things, it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. Finesse is actually the operative word, and as as one of the world’s most renowned fly fisherman, nobody understands that better than Sousa. This Bristol native, known for initiating the Fly Fishing Merit Badge for the Pages B1-B8 Boy Scouts, is retired from a career as a fisheries biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but under no circumstances is he retired from fishing. It’s something he does virtually every day of the year, made more comfortable by the fact that he spends much of the colder months in Florida. For Sousa, fly fishing is more than a hobby, and more than a sport. “It’s an impressionistic art form,” he says. “You want your fish to believe that your fly is something it wants to eat. Fish are motivated by two main forces: fear and greed. Just like the stock market — you want to eat as much as you can, without being eaten yourself.” That’s an important point that Sousa emphasizes. “You want to tie the fly for the fish, not the fisherman.” A too-perfect fly might appeal to the fisherman, but it’s going to look funky to the fish. “You want it to look a little debilitated,” he says. “”Predators will chase low-hanging fruit every time.” Growing up in Bristol in the 1950’s, graduating from the Colt Memorial High School in 1963, Sousa was introduced to fly fishing by his grandfather, with whom he caught his first brook trout, around age 7, in Little Compton. He was, if you will pardon the pun, hooked. Tying his own flies soon followed, around age 10. Working with tiny fragments of feathers and hairs that reflect light and react in water, like the fine downy feathers from a chicken neck (“see the fuzzes between the barbles?”), Sousa deftly creates flies both dry and wet, designed to mimic everything from minnows to larval and adult mayflies. But he is quick to note that the fly itself is See SOUSA Page 5 Bob Sousa ties a fly that, when wet, will mimic a minnow and attract large fish like striped bass. ALONG THE WATERFRONT Man overboard — Davis leaps from Alvimedica T eam Alvimedica set sail on the Volvo Ocean Race’s 4,670nautical-mile third leg to Sanya, China, Saturday but first it had to send one sailor overboard. After sailing two laps of an inshore course close to the foggy Abu Dhabi waterfront, it was time for “Jump Seat” passenger and Bristol native Angus Bruce Davis to take his BURDETT leave. Sporting Alvimedica orange shirt and American flag pants, he leapt from the boat and was picked up by the chase boat as Alvimedica headed for sea. An observer for Team Alvimedica reported, “By the estimation of the TV commentators, Team Alvimedica’s ‘Jump Seat’ athlete – Angus Davis from Providence, TEAM ALVIMDICA/VOLVO OCEAN RACE Bristol native Angus Davis scores style points for his leap from the Alvimedica ‘Jump Seat’ as the around the world racer sets off for China. Rhode Island – scored a perfect 10 with his daring belly flop from the windward side of the boat.” “The leg start was really exciting,” he told an Alvimedica reporter later. “I need to work on my diving form a little bit and I’m sure my friends will give me a hard time about it. But I wanted to make the biggest splash possi- ble! It was an awesome experience. At one point before the start, Charlie (fellow Bristolian and Alvimedica skipper Charlie Enright) put me on the wheel — you could be part of the action, and you could understand all the decisions being made. Today was one of the best sporting experiences of my life.” Davis earned his place in the “Jump Seat” through Team Alvimedica’s online auction whose proceeds benefit a local charity in the United Arab Emirates, a Mobile Heart Clinic program. With the focus again on racing, Enright said, “It’s good to get back on the water now. We’re looking to capitalize on a few things. We’ve improved on our boat speed and other processes on board, and I think we can see some improvement in our overall leg finish, too.” Monday morning found Alvimedica well clear of the Straits of Hormuz and in third place, four miles off the lead in the tightly packed six-boat fleet. Out of the race for now is Team Vestas Wind, destroyed when it slammed into a reef during the last leg. The team now intends to build an entry in time, it hopes, to rejoin the fleet for the final two legs. Team Alvimedica and the Volvo Ocean Race will be in Newport May 5-18 where the race village will be completely free - no donations required.

Page B2 East Bay Life January 7-8, 2015 DOWN TO EARTH Garden notes bring order to the march of time I STOREWIDE SALE thru January can hardly believe it’s a new year already. It feels like mere days rather than twelve months since I waxed rhapsodic about visiting greenhouses and using candlelight to cozy winter’s dark nights. And I remember bemoaning the lateness of spring as if summer never happened. Time seems to stretch in winter Kristin like a rubber GREEN band cocked at spring. And then doesn’t it go flying? Come spring we can hardly help but be in a mad rush to enjoy every last second. Right up until the band hits the wall of the holidays with a resounding thwack and flops to the floor. Which is why I consider writing notes about the garden and taking a few pictures through the season as necessary as planting and weeding. Taking the time to mark the best — and worst — moments puts the stretch in the elastic of time. And looking back at those records now helps me recall that not only did summer happen, it was long and glorious (so was fall), and has plenty to teach about the coming year. For instance, reading my notes from May, I am reminded that just because something looks dead doesn’t always mean it is. The roses I thought were goners after cutting them back before April’s deep freeze (winter truly was inter- minable last year) bloomed into November. I also expected to lose what was left of my Black Lace elderberry but evidently its disgusting infestation of borers went to the dump along with the deadest branches. The remaining trunk might be oddly lopsided but its wonkiness was hardly noticeable under a healthy arch of deep purple foliage and black berries. My Clematis ‘Roguchi’, on the other hand, never made a comeback. And, as far as I can tell from photographs, its replacement didn’t live past July. Since losing, two years ago, a C. tibetana that had bedazzled my arbor for a couple of Octobers with sprays of citrus peel flowers, it’s beginning to sink in that clematis might only come to my garden to die. I’m sure it’s nothing personal. I’ll chalk it up to acidic soil (they prefer it sweeter), close quarters (their roots want cooling shade but also some room to spread out), improper siting (wet feet through the winter is deadly) and neglect (I should have watered during drought). Lucky for me and my garden, the nonvining C. heracleifolia, which has lovely indigo-blue fairy cap flowers in September hasn’t proved nearly as picky or needy, spreading instead with a moderate amount of enthusiasm. I’m glad for the reminder that my garden wanted more blue, a little earlier in the season, after the forget-me-nots and before the clematis. The only hiccup is the distinct memory, which I never even wrote down, of a visiting friend’s suggestion that there might be such a thing as “too many plants.” A criticism she knew I’d disregard with a guffaw. And you should too if anyone has dared call the plantiful-ness of your garden into question. Diversity is key to sustainability and amusement. I plan to take advantage of the opportunities presented by death to fill some of those vacancies with blue-flowering perennials. I’d be tempted to try delphinium if I were up to the challenge. I’m not and it’s nothing personal. Just that I learned more about them this summer and made note that my garden bears little resemblance to Siberia. Turns out, contrary to popular belief, delphinium are extremely cold hardy; it’s our hot, humid summers and comparatively mild winters that do them in. On the other hand, the butterfly magnetic blue spikes of native North American hyssop cultivars such as Agastache ‘Blue Fortune’ and ‘Black Adder’ should be better suited to my garden’s climate and conditions. It seems for all the world like it was in full bloom just the other day.

East Bay Life January 7-8, 2015 Page B3 Some attorneys general are sellouts B y definition, the Attorney General is the chief legal officer of a state, representing the interests of the state in a variety of areas. He or she prosecutes criminal cases under the jurisdiction of the office and serves and protects the rights of all the citizens of the state. Arlene How disconcertVIOLET ing it is to see some state attorneys general, past and present, bastardize the office by acquiescence to the lobbyists bearing gifts in exchange for favorable treatment at the expense of regular citizens. As Eric Lipton, a New York Times journalist has documented, companies under investigation or seeking to prevent any action that hurts their bottom line, have all but paid “protection money” (my characterization) for immunity. All of this de facto lobbying is done under the radar. In his October 28, 2014 article Mr. Lipton wrote about the pushback by the executives of 5-Hour Energy, the popular caffeinated drink. The company was being investigated by 30 states for deceptive advertising. Rather than initiate a juggernaut based on science to rebut the patina of deception, the company brought together key attorneys general at a resort in Santa Monica Beach for an all-expense paid “conference”. After throwing in hefty campaign contributions the investigation began to stall. Groups like the Republican Attorney General’s association have pulled in $11.7 million in 2014 corporate contributions to funnel to its members before the November 2014 election. This was in addition to a “time” at a resort in Coronado, California for selected attorneys general, where 5-Hour Energy was also one of the sponsors. The rooms go for as much as $4500 a night, and a bash was held at an exclusive club which requires a $125,000 entry fee. The Democrat Association of AG’s also rolled in the dough. A group of former attorneys general who belong to a group called SAGE (Society of Attorneys General Emeritus) have their rank and file on retainer to corporate clients. They are falling over each other in order to board the gravy train. Unlike the lobbying rules covering other elected officials there are virtually no revolving door restrictions or disclosure requirements governing the state attorneys general who serve as the “people lawyers.” Former attorneys general including Patrick Lynch of Rhode Island press their former colleagues into adopting the position of their paid clients. He represents payday lenders (the scourge of poor people), Comcast, makers of online video See VIOLET Page 5 NO FLUKE DEM stocks ponds with trout T he Department of Environmental Management (DEM) plans to stock eight ponds with 3,000 trout this week for the winter fishing season. Carbuncle Pond, Coventry; Olney Pond, Lincoln; Barber Pond, South Kingstown; Silver Spring Lake, North Kingstown; Upper Melville Capt. Dave Pond, MONTI Portsmouth; and Round Top Ponds, Burrillville will be stocked with trout. A current fishing license and a Trout Conservation Stamp are required to keep or possess a trout. The daily creel and possession limit for trout currently stands at two per day through Feb. 28. How do you know if ice is safe? Ice must have a uniform thickness of at least six inches before it is considered safe by DEM. It generally takes at least five to seven consecutive days of temperatures in the low 20’s for safe ice to form. In addition to the requisite cold temperatures, ice thickness is also determined by factors such as the size and depth of a pond, presence of springs or currents, and local temperature fluctuations. For ice conditions in your city or town check with local police and at Olney Pond in Lincoln Woods State Park, call DEM’s Division of Parks and Recreation at 401/6676200. DEM has an ice safety guide online at riparks.com.

World record tautog Last Friday Kenneth Westerfeld of Bayside, New York landed a 28.8 pound, 35” tautog which if verified will be the new all-tackle International Game Fishing Association (IGFA) world record. The current world record of 25 pounds was set in 1998 by Anthony Monica fishing out of Ocean City, New Jersey. Westerfeld, who was fishing wrecks in the Atlantic Ocean, said (as reported by On the Water magazine online), “Well I can only thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ for bringing me this bite, and Capt. Kane Bounds for putting me on this wreck.” Capt. Bounds of Fish Bound charters out of Ocean City, Maryland said, “Well today Ken Westerfeld did it, he managed to land a very impressive 28.8 pound tautog. The fish was caught on a white crab in 75 feet of water…” The Tides* Wednesday, January 7 Thursday, January 8 Friday, January 9 Saturday, January 10 Sunday, January 11 Monday, January 12 Tuesday, January 13 Wednesday, January 14 Thursday, January 15 Congratulations Ken, this is a very nice fish. It is no longer legal to fish for tautog in Rhode Island as the recreational season ended December 15, with the spring season scheduled to start sometime in April.

Dianne from the Seven Bs said, “Cod fishing was very good Saturday. There were a number of cod in the 8-12 pound range… High hook had 8 keepers and the largest cod was just shy of 19 lbs. High-low bait rigs, with fresh clams, outperformed the anglers using jigs. The Seven B’s will be sailing Friday thru Sunday leaving at 5 a.m. Captain Andrew Dangelo will be at the helm for the Cod fishing season. Call him at 401/788-6012 for reservations. Roger Simpson of the Frances Fleet said Saturday they had “a nice turnout and a very good catch of fish. Well over 100 nice green cod on board with the pool fish just over 20 lbs and a dozen other fish right behind in the mid to upper teens. Hi hook took home eight fish and both bait and jigs did well with the fish spread evenly around the Lady Frances. Fishing in general is very good.” Party boats sailing for cod fish at this time include the Seven B’s at sevenbs.com, the Frances Fleet at francesfleet.com and Island Current at islandcurrent.com.

Choosing foods high in omega 3 fats (including salmon, tuna, walnuts, olive oil, and ground flaxseed) has been found to decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Walking as little at 30 minutes on most days of the week helps to keep our body and mind in the best shape possible. In addition to foods, there are lots of lifestyle modifications that you can do to keep your brains working effectively. ■ Get enough sleep. Memories are enhanced during the deepest sleep cycles. ■ Make time for family and friends. People who are the most social show the slowest rates of cognitive decline. ■ Surround yourself with a positive support system. Your pets count! ■ Practice meditation. It keeps our mental acuity sharp and strengthens memories. ■ Move your eyes from side to side for 30 seconds. This helps the 2 halves of your brain communicate better. ■ Work out your brain. Try a new activity such as knitting, a puzzle, playing a musical instrument, or a new game to challenge your mind. ■ Laugh! Laughter is a great way to decrease stress and remain in the moment.

LYNN ANNE EVANS Dear Dr. Evans, Happy New Year! Or it might have been if my dog Jasper and I hadn’t wound up at the emergency room on New Year’s Day. It seems that bacon cheese bites don’t really agree with him — wish my New Year’s Eve guests had thought of that... Anyway, it made me think. Should I have some kind of doggie first-aid kit at home? Jasper was pretty sick with vomiting and had diarrhea, so I doubt a home remedy would have helped. But in general, what should I have handy? Thanks. —Unprepared Dear Unprepared, With a few exceptions, a pet home first aid kit isn’t much different from a human first aid kit. But as you learned the hard way, prevention is a whole lot better than spending the holidays at the veterinary E.R. So the next time you have guests, remember to warn them not to slip Jasper snacks and to follow any house rules to protect your pet. That means, if you have cats, all ribbons go straight from the birthday gift to the sealed trash can. I have a rescue Golden who’s a veteran of five foreign-body surg- eries, so my poor guests know that napkins have to stay off laps and on the table. General prevention can save you a lot of late-night and weekend trips. Flea and tick prevention can spare your dog or cat that bout of intractable itching that always seems to occur right at five o’clock on a holiday weekend. If your dog is leashed and your cat indoors, bite wounds and car accidents are unlikely. And as you know first-hand, table food isn’t always the best idea. In general, you should have on hand items to treat minor ailments only; when in doubt, take your pet in for treatment. First, keep the phone numbers of your vet, the local veterinary emergency centers, and the ASPCA poison control center handy. You should also keep a fresh bottle of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide in case the poison control specialist tells you to induce vomiting in your pet — but never do so without veterinary supervision, as some poisons do as much harm coming up as going through. Hydrogen peroxide also cleans both ears and superficial wounds in a pinch. Include rolled self-adhesive bandages, Tefla pads, cotton balls, antibiotic ointment, hydro- cortisone ointment, and eye wash. Add tweezers, an appropriately-sized Elizabethan collar (a.k.a. the “cone of shame”), and styptic powder, and you may not be ready for anything, but you’re ready for a lot. If your pet has a minor GI upset (mild diarrhea or vomiting but seems fine otherwise), you can sometimes manage it conservatively. Boil a boneless, skinless chicken breast without added fat or seasoning, cook some white rice, and mix one part meat to 3 parts rice. Offer small meals frequently if no vomiting or diarrhea occurs. Vomiting can be serious, so check with your vet if your pet isn’t acting 100 percent normal. For cats, chicken baby food works best, but check the label; avoid garlic or onion powder. So now that you’re prepared for the worst, let me wish you and Jasper a very safe and healthy New Year.

Please email [email protected], with “Dr. Evans” in the subject line. VIOLET: Some attorneys general are sellouts From Page 3 games, and, of course, on-line gambling proponents. Despite Mr. Lynch’s representation to potential clients on a separate website from his law practice that he can guide them through the network of attorneys general associations and work with them to build relation- ships, Rhode Island’s former Secretary of State Ralph Mollis ruled that he was acting as an attorney so he need not register as a lobbyist when he opportuned Peter. Kilmartin, the present AG. While Messrs. Mollis and Lynch are ethically challenged, the ruling should prompt the media to be extra vigilant to these sub rosa activities. As to the other states attorneys general, in December following Mr. Lipton’s expose, the national association took a baby step in banning corporate sponsorship of its events. The Republican and Democrat associations need to do likewise and to rediscover their mission to represent the people. SOUSA: “Tie for the fish, not the fisherman” From Page 1 only one piece of the puzzle. “Pick your habitat first. Fish in places fish are likely to be,” he says. Choosing your fly is important, but so is making it behave appropriately. “Fish are sight feeders,” Sousa says. “If the fly behaves in a way that is worthwhile, the fish will strike it.” He uses a technique (that a fishing buddy refers to as “Bob’s strip tease”) whereby he reels the line in very fast, roughly 2 inches at a time, with an action that looks much like strumming a guitar. It gives the fly a herky-jerky affect that, very often, induces an immediate strike. How effective is this technique? “When I’m on my game,” Sousa admits, “I’ll hook a fish with every cast.” It’s been a remarkable avocation, one that has spawned not only countless hours of entertainment (and delicious fish), but several books, including his most recent “The 24 Greatest Flies You Don’t Leave Home Without” as well as “Learn to Fly Fish in 24 Hours” and the latest update to the Boy Scouts’ fly fishing handbook. He gets more appearance requests at fishing- related events than he can possibly schedule. Fishing has brought Sousa around the world; throughout the U.S. as well as South America, the Caribbean, Canada, New Zealand and Japan. His favorite fishing spot? Not an easy question to answer, but if he has to, he’ll say the Gulkana River, in Alaska. In his six decades of fishing, Sousa has tied thousands and thousands of flies (including one that caught nearly 70 fish before getting hung up in a bush), and given away thousands as well. One thing he has never done? Sold a fly. Why? Because, he says, “It’s better to make a friend than a dollar.” And if there is such a thing as karma, and it applies to fishing as well as anything else (and why wouldn’t it?) even a fish would have to grudgingly admit, if you are going to get caught, you can’t do better than to get caught by Bob Sousa. Are we ready for a comeback? W e all remember how it happened: after the disastrous 2012 season, the Red Sox assembled a team in 2013 that went from last in the league to first and became World Series Champions. With veterans, rookies and seven free agents from around the league, a team was built that not only comCara but won. CROMWELL peted, Can they do it again in 2015? More importantly, can Governor Gina Raimondo launch a similarly epic comeback here in Rhode Island? I had the opportunity to help out with Governor-elect Raimondo’s transition and it was clear to me that her singular focus is expanding Rhode Island’s economy and growing jobs here in the Ocean State. Launching Rhode Island’s comeback — and making sure that all Rhode Islanders are prepared to benefit from long term economic growth — is the central goal of her administration. And just like a general manager confidently making plans in January for a World Series win in December, Governor Raimondo has drawn top talent from inside and outside of Rhode Island and assembled a standout team that can deliver a comeback for our state. In her cabinet Governor Raimondo has retained the best veteran talent in state government including Colonel Steven O’Donnell of the Rhode Island State Police, A.T. Wall at Corrections and Janet Coit at DEM. Governor Raimondo added “all-stars” from out of state like Secretary of Commerce Stefan Pryor who led successful economic development efforts for the City of Newark under then-Mayor (now U.S. Senator) Cory Booker as well as her new Chief of Staff, Stephen Neu- man. Previously, Neuman has worked for three governors in three different states showing that he’s able to successfully adapt to different political cultures with ease. The Raimondo administration will have at least two leaders with impressive GOP credentials: the new Director of Administration, Michael DiBiase was chief of staff to Governor Lincoln Almond and Director of Management and Budget, Jonathan Womer, worked for a republican governor and in the White House under President George W. Bush. Of course it takes more than just good players to make things happen. We need strong leadership and teamwork. That’s why some political observers have noted that Governor Raimondo and the leaders of the general assembly have been meeting and talking through their respective priorities. This is significant because it’s been 20 years since a governor in Rhode Island has shared a party label — and a good working relationship — with the general assembly. While I am no fan of one-party rule, the shared priority of bringing our economy back to life is not an ideological one and it is refreshing to see a collaborative spirit. I don’t want to be too much of a “homer” — especially since Rhode Island’s problems are numerous and complex — but I think that this new team can get our state on the right track and headed for a comeback.

Two of my children had the opportunity to visit and stay with students we hosted, in France and Spain.
