Times Sakonnet THURSDAY, MAY 23, 2013 eastbayri.com VOL. 47, NO. 21 $1.00 RIPTA rejects Sakonnet bus service BY TOM K ILLIN DALGLISH [email protected] TIVERTON, LITTLE COMPTON — RIPTA officials confirmed Tuesday that no public bus service is planned for Tiverton and Little Compton in the foreseeable future. “I don’t have any money to run service to Tiverton or Little Compton,” said Mark Therrien, assistant general manager of planning at the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA). Mr. Therrien said the ridership and demographics are poor for Little Compton, and that the two communities “are not a transit market.” RIPTA is waiting for the legislature to act to fund his agency, he said. RIPTA has completed a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA), which is “at the public hearing point.” Public hearings will be held in seven communities in the com- ing weeks to discuss the results of the analysis. No public hearings will be conducted in Tiverton and Little Compton, Mr. Therrien said. See RIPTA Page 5 Lobster boat blockade PHOTOS BY RICHARD W. DIONNE JR.

Stubborn boat and stuck anchor stymie coal ship and Coast Guard BY TOM K ILLIN DALGLISH [email protected] MOUNT HOPE BAY — For nearly six hours last Wednesday afternoon, a 32-foot former lobster boat carrying a sign on its cabin that declared “#coal is stupid,” won a stare-down with the 688-foot coal ship Energy Enterprise. The action may have been a preview of protests being planned against the power plant by New England activists on July 27 and July 28. Skippering the little Newportbased boat, named the Henry David T. (for Thoreau) were two environmental activists — Ken Ward, 57, from the Boston area, and Jay O’Hara, 31, from Cape Cod. Their protest goal was to prevent the offloading of the ship’s estimated 40,000 tons of coal to the Brayton Point Energy Terminal, and power plant, and for one afternoon they succeeded. Until the lobster boat pulled anchor — a task that proved way more difficult than anyone imagined — the behemoth vessel was unable to dock at its designated berth and remained instead tethered at the far end of the pier.

Sen. Felag sponsored Senate bill S0020, which, like House bill HS5137 sponsored by Rep. Jay Edwards, would reverse a decision made last year transferring the bridge to control of the RI Turnpike and Bridget Authority which intends to charge tolls. “I’m an optimistic person,” Sen. Felag said. But, “I was very disappointed that the governor didn’t put this into his initial budget … And I’m even more disappointed by revenue projections that show a decrease in revenue.” He said he is startled by those numbers, given the uptick in the economy, and is taking a closer Rep. Jay Edwards of Tiverton lugs a petition containing 31,000 anti-toll signatures into a House Finance Committee hearing. With him is Jeanne Smith. a leader of the anti-toll effort. RICHARD W. DIONNE JR. look at them “to see what is missing.” He wonders, for instance, if the budget is already counting the negative impact of tolls on other revenue (such as sales tax, income tax Newport gambling etc.). Rep. Edwards (Dist. 70-Tiverton and Portsmouth) said he remains “cautiously optimistic” that his bill will emerge from the House Finance Committee for a vote in the full House. And if that happens, he likes chances for its success. “I spoke to Speaker (Gordon) Fox about it Tuesday at a leadership meeting and I’ll speak to him again on Friday,” Rep. Edwards said Thursday. (Speaker Fox did not respond to a request for comment.) South End Liquors Redemtion Center • Credit Cards 1755 South Main Street • Fall River, MA • 508-673-2461 “Believe me, he is very aware that it (bridge toll) is a big problem here … They are looking for an alternative solution — they just can’t get rid of it without coming up with sustainable and predictable sources of funding,” Rep. Edwards said. “There isn’t anyone on that leadership team who is not fully aware that is the major issue down here.” His bill first needs to win approval among the 13-member House Finance Committee members, some of whom have already signed on as sponsors. Sen. Felag said he speaks daily to Senate President Teresa PaivaWeed. “I believe she is committed to finding an alternative source” of revenue to replace money that tolls would bring in. “We need to come up with something to which everyone in the state contributes, not just people here,” Sen. Felag said. People that he talks to from other corners of the state are “supportive … (but) To be honest, they have their own priorities. It becomes very provincial. I am working on this every day.” Check out our new CRAFT BEER SELECTION! Huge Selection of Fine Wines!

Sakonnet Times May 23, 2013 Page 3 Henry David T. and its anchor block coal ship From Page 1 The Energy Enterprise delivers coal from Hampton Roads, Virginia, said Marla Marcum, a member of the shore-side support team for the protesters, and on Wednesday it was filled with coal, originating from West Virginia — which “most likely means it’s mountain top removal coal,” she said. “The goal of this action is to block delivery of coal to the Brayton Point Power Station,” said Ms. Marcum. “At this point in time we think burning coal is stupid.” Ms. Marcum was speaking in the early afternoon to press and residents from the neighborhood near the plant that had gathered at the end of a street right-of-way at shore’s edge to watch the drama. Anchoring in the way The lobster boat had taken up its position by the pier and dropped anchor about 9:30 a.m., Ms. Marcum said. The Energy Enterprise passed beneath the Mt. Hope Bridge at about 11 a.m.. A little before then, at 10:50 a.m., said Coast Guard Petty Officer Robert Simpson, “the Coast Guard received a report from the energy company saying that the Henry David T. was anchored at the terminal, “and that the Energy Enterprise would be unable to moor up.” The Coast Guard deployed four vessels to deal with the problem, said Officer Simpson — two 45foot response boats, one 25-foot response boat, and one aid-tonavigation team from Bristol in a 49-footer. That’s when complications set in. Officer Simpson said that the two men on the lobster boat were unable to lift anchor. “The anchor was just too heavy,” he said. It was a hand-hauled anchor, not winch or machine operated. A Coast Guard crew “went on board and they couldn’t haul it up either,” Officer Simpson said. So the Boston Police Department was asked to send down a dive crew, which they did. They couldn’t lift the anchor either, he said. Finally, a commercial salvage boat and crew from Fall River was called out, Officer Simpson said, and they yanked the anchor up with a crane. By that time it was nearly 6 p.m. The Energy Enterprise moved to its berth a half hour later, Officer Brayton Point responds In response to the lobster boat incident, Brayton Point Power Station representative Lisa A. Lundy Kusinitz issued the following statement from Dominion Resources: “The Brayton Point Power Station is one of the cleanest electricity generators of its kind. More than $1 billion has been invested in recent years to reduce its impact on the air and water significantly. “Facilities such as Brayton Point are badly needed in New England both to help keep down the cost of electricity – already the highest in the continental United States – and ensure reliability. We are thankful no one has been hurt, but today’s actions did nothing to lower electricity costs, promote reliability or protect the environment.” Simpson said, and started offloading Thursday morning. Mr. Ward and Mr. O’Hara reported on their liveblog (http://www.coalisstupid.org) that the only penalty they have received from the Coast Guard “was an official warning from the Coast Guard for failing to have a fog horn on board.” Somerset Police Department Captain Stephen Moniz and Lieutenant Armand Cabral both said that Mr. Ward and Mr. O’Hara will face charges of disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct, and that the department is investigating with environmental police the possibility of additional charges. Community impact Meanwhile, Brayton Point power plant neighbors complain about the impact of the plant’s operations on their homes and health. One man in his ‘70’s, who declined to give his name, said he has cancer, his wife has cancer, and so did eight others on his street alone (naming them). “We call it cancer alley,” he said of his street. He said he gets tax abatements due to the damage from plant SAKONNET TIMES (USPS #477-340) 1 Bradford St, Bristol 245-6000 • 253-6055 (fax) Mailing address: P.O.

It’s really a money thing. They don’t give a damn.” Hearing these complaints on Wednesday, Ms. Marcum, who said she is the Christian education director of the United Methodist Church in Lexington, said “people here deserve a just transition. What are the people going to do? You can’t scrub the CO2 out of the plant.” Dominion, the current corporate owner of the Brayton Point plant, at its website, says it has spent $1.1 billion in environmental improvements to its plant operations since 2005, about half of it ($570 million) to reduce the amount of cooling water the plant uses and discharges into the bay. It says it has signed a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the plant to a private equity firm, which will be signed before the end of the second quarter of 2013. The company is reportedly the largest employer in Somerset and is the largest single tax contributor to the town’s tax base. What’s next — the July action A statement Wednesday from Mr. Ward and Mr. O’Hara said, “Atmospheric carbon hit 400 ppm last Friday, May 13, 2013, at Manua Loa and global carbon emis- For news contact: Bruce Burdett, Editor 424-9120 [email protected] Tom Dalglish, Tiverton/ Little Compton Reporter 424-9125 [email protected] sions last year were nearly twothirds above 1990. We are on track to achieve a temperature increase of 6°C / 11.8°F by 2100, at least, and on a steep upward trajectory thereafter. There is no question that without abrupt political change, a second flood of biblical proportions will erase the conditions in which life remotely like that we know now is made possible.” They said, “Brayton Point should be shut down immediately – and by ‘immediately,’ we mean today –– for more than one reason. First, every day of additional emissions is a terrible, immoral imposition on our children and, in ways we do not fully understand, on the other living things of God’s creation. Second, we do not need this power plant.” Ms. Marcum and the two men on the lobster boat are affiliated with the activist organization Index How to reach us For advertising information contact: Marsha J.

Cabral Jr. delivered. First though, he and the school had to deal with heat from some who questioned the appropriateness of such rewards and the purpose of the NECAP testing program. The ensuing controversy touched on practices at other schools that offered incentives of different sorts, and the possible need for a new policy. Last October Principal Manuel T. Cabral Jr. promised a limousine ride — with stops for hot dogs, soda, and ice cream, his treat — to students at Ranger Elementary School who scored perfect 4’s on the reading and math sections of the fall NECAP test. “I wanted to reward kids for academic excellence, just as we reward for athletic events, music, and other extracurricular activities,” Mr. Cabral said in an interview last week. A limo ride with all the fixings wasn’t the only incentive offered. Students who scored 3’s and 4’s on the NECAP test were promised a pizza party. And when the NECAP (stands for New England Common Assessment Program) test was administered last October to the Ranger students, Mr. Cabral said in an interview, “all who took the test got an ice cream party and for trying to do their best.” The results of the three-day NECAP test (three sessions of 1.5 hours each) were announced in early February. Of the 107 students in the 3rd and 4th grade who took the test, 22 got perfect Third and fourth graders from Ranger School line up for their limousine ride. From left to right (rear) are: Jackson Largy, Michael Wilkie, Anibal Costa, Doug Connors, Eddie Rishmany, Timmy Borden, Shane Ramos, Caiden Ibbotson, Cole Cirillo, Chace Cirillo, Peyton Dias, Evan Torio, and Principal Manuel Cabral. In the front row (from left) are: Jayden Goetz, Chantal Valdez, Kyla Barnhardt, Mariah Ramos, Emma Baker, Hayley Morrow, Kyra Peterson, and Elise Flanagan. Not pictured are Owen Klusak and Keira McQueen. 4’s, and another 57 scored 3’s and 4’s. Not until more than two months later, on April 27, did the students with all 4’s get their promised limo ride. The excursion lasted two hours — students in the limo, their parents trailing behind in cars. First stop was Town Farm (hot dogs and soda), then Gray’s Ice Cream (for dessert), then Fogland Beach (a walk). On Thursday night, May 2, the Matthew Cordeiro 2500 Main Road Tiverton, Rhode Island 02878 (401) 641-7310 57 students who got 3’s and 4’s, along with many of their parents, celebrated their promised pizza party at the school when a local pizza shop delivered 22 pizzas to the 81 in attendance. After the results became known, and before the limo ride took place, the controversy surfaced. “Some parents feel that not all students are capable of getting all 4’s,’’ Mr. Cabral said last week. Stacey Borden, a parent whose son scored 4’s, said some parents whose children didn’t get perfect scores objected, and others believed perhaps the reward was “too outrageous.” Superintendent William Rearick put the idea on hold. But “you can’t promise something to the kids and then take it away,” Ms. Borden said. A discussion about incentives and rewards for participation and scores achieved in the NECAP testing was placed on the school committee agenda for April 23.

At the meeting, Mr. Rearick said, “we received a lot of feedback from parents regarding the student incentive program being proposed for Ranger School.” The issue of incentives, he said, is not addressed in any code of conduct or school department policy. No grades are given for the NECAP test, he said, and “some students are not as engaged if there is no grade attached or incentive for them to complete the test.” he said. “The incentives used are very diverse,” said School Committee member Deborah Pallasch. which “speaks to the different ways the schools reward and recognize success.” Ms. Pallasch said, “the other thing about the NECAP that concerns me is this really wasn’t a test that was meant to measure individual achievement.

Sakonnet Times May 23, 2013 Page 5 RIPTA nixes buses here From Page 1 The COA is “an in-depth review of all our transit services,” RIPTA says, “a detailed evaluation of our system to identify where people live and work, how each bus route is performing today, and where changes might possibly be made to better serve riders.” The completed analysis makes no recommendations for bus service of any kind to Tiverton and Little Compton. A public meeting with RIPTA was held in Tiverton Town Hall on March 18, before the COA had been completed. At the time, Mr. Therrien, who conducted the meeting, said “there were more people (attending) here in Tiverton “than in Barrington, Warwick, Warren, Pawtucket, and Newport.” Flex Service in smaller buses is not scheduled for citizens of Tiverton and Little Compton either, Mr. Therrien confirmed. Flex Service, says RIPTA, “is a program designed to help serve the unmet mobility needs of communities across Rhode Island.” Tiverton’s and LIttle Compton’s isolation from the rest of Rhode Island may be further exacerbated by the imposition of tolls, recently approved by state and federal authorities, on the new Sakonnet River Bridge. As for cross-border bus transit into Massachusetts by Tiverton and Little Compton citizens, Mr. Therrien offered thin hope. Federal regulations by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) currently prevent such service. In addition, Mr. Therrien said, the agency requires a transit ser- vice such as RIPTA or SRTA in Massachusetts (the Southeastern Regional Transit Authority) to carry a $5 -$10 million liability insurance policy, purchased from a private insurance carrier, if it wants to cross state lines. RIPTA is currently self-insured, he said, and has no high-cost annual insurance premiums to pay. Mr. Therrien said RIPTA has hired a Providence lawyer to attempt to negotiate a waiver of any cross-border transit prohibitions and of the private insurance coverage requirement. Mr. Therrien said one possibility might be for RIPTA to pay SRTA directly to provide bus service to Tiverton and Little Compton residents. It might require legislative authorizations, he said, and could be a small step towards regionalized bus service. SYRIA Opposing U.S. support for the armed resistance in Syria has nothing to do with indifference, isolationism, or pacifism. Nor is it indicative of being any less horrified with the suffering of the Syrian people or less desirous of the overthrow of the Assad regime. With so much at stake, however, it is critical to not allow the understandably strong emotional reaction to the ongoing carnage lead to policies that could wind up making things worse.

Letters home to parents admonishing a goodnight’s sleep, good breakfasts, motivational speeches to kids in classrooms, extra recesses, ice cream parties, pizza parties, a dance, donations to the Fall River Boys’ and Girls’ Club for each student who improved his or her last year’s score (Tiverton Middle School), test-taking tips, words of wisdom, tickets to a homecoming dance, and waiver of a test —all were among the incentives the schools BROKEN VACUUM?

But the “hold” Mr. Rearick had placed on the limo ride drew the most comment, presenting the picture of a reward being promised to the kids, and then withdrawn. Ms. Pallasch said there were two separate issues: what to do about the incentives currently in place (which included the limo ride), and what to do going forward. Kathy Ramos, a parent of three, two of whom achieved 4’s, “were ecstatic” about the limo ride, she told the school committee, and “were almost in tears” later upon learning they might not be going on the limo ride. Another mother, Ryan Ibbotson, whose son had scored 4’s and had been looking forward to the limo ride, said “incentives are not bad, they will never be bad.” She said “internal effort” was important, and “challenge is good. It needs to be taught.” Not a person spoke in favor of canceling the limo ride or of canceling incentives this year. “We need to keep our word to the students,” said committee member Carol Herrmann. “Incentives offered and promised need to be provided.” Ms. Herrmann said incentives for high school students may not be the same as those that work best for the younger students. Mr. Rearick seemed to agree, speaking in terms of “age appropriate incentives.” Contact our Westport (Central Village) office for a no obligation Homeowners Insurance quote! • Any property: summer cottages to highvalue homes • Any location • No windstorm restrictions, all deductibles available • Very competitive rates Local office staffed by local people.

Had those five graduate students instead visited Stafford Pond in Tiverton, they could have come and gone, launched a boat, gone fishing — done pretty much whatever they pleased. For unlike Quabbin and just about every other reservoir around, Stafford is the anything goes reservoir. In theory, there are a few things those five (who turned out not to be terrorists intent on poisoning drinking water) could have done to get in trouble at Stafford Pond. They could have gone swimming — that's prohibited. But those who know the place say that it's not unheard of to see people taking a dip. They could have launched a boat with more than 10 horsepower at the state ■ WHERE TO WRITE: ramp — that's prohibited too but the rule is Sakonnet Times, 1745 Main Rd. Tiverton, RI 02878. Letters may violated every time the also be sent to: sakonnet@eastbay pond and its manager newspapers.com (state Department of Environmental Management) host a fishing tournament. The visiting boats boast horsepowers of 150, even 200 horsepower and more. They could have flown in by seaplane — that's permitted at Stafford Pond. But instead they chose to wander about Quabbin Reservoir and so have a date in Belchertown District Court. Eight thousand-plus people and several schools get their water from Stafford Pond 'Reservoir.' Their drinking water isn't protected to the Quabbin standard. In fact, it's scarcely protected at all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sakonnet car rally cancelled thanks to tolls To the editor: In reading the RI-Taxpayers' website about concerns that the tolls on the Sakonnet River Bridge will come to bear and the effect they will have on people using that bridge, tourism, regional traffic, etc., I can personally attest that that will be the case. I just officially canceled a portion of a tour that I am running for the New England Alfa Romeo Sports Car Club and the British Motor Cars of New England Club. The tour involves 30 vintage Italian and British sports cars that will be taking part in a rally on this coming June 1, a Saturday. My tour for these wonderful cars will be starting in North Kingstown, over onto Jamestown and then into Newport. It was then scheduled, after lunch, to head for Tiverton and on to Little Compton to the Sakonnet Vineyards for a wine tasting after which many of the participants were then going to make arrangements at various inns, bed and breakfasts and motels in the area for overnight stays. They would then tour that area on their own the following day. What with the obscene toll rate put in place by the morons at the RI Turnpike and Bridge Authority, and considering that tolls will already have to be paid, coming and going at the Newport Bridge, it was decided to end the tour in Newport to save the participants this not previously planned-on expense. They will now stay overnight and spend their money at Newport facilities. I felt terrible having to do this but I was starting to get complaints from the participants about these added costs, especially as Mr. Darlington and his bandits at the Bridge Authority decided to not only implement these obscene tolls but to stick especially high costs on those who wish to come to visit and spend money with local Tiverton and Little Compton merchants, which apparently in many cases such as my event ain't gonna happen! This is but one more example of everything that is wrong in this state, its anti-business attitudes, etc., all brought about by a bunch of incompetents in Rogues Island state government and its many boards, commissions and quasistate agencies! Tom Letourneau Cumberland Our appetite for meat is killing us To the editor: The new link between meat consumption and heart disease, discovered by Dr. Stanley Hazen of the Cleveland Clinic, is just the latest evidence linking meat consumption to killer diseases that cripple, then kill, 1.3 million Americans annually. Hazen’s study showed that carnitine, an amino acid contained in all meat products, is a major factor in heart failure. Similarly, an Oxford University study of nearly 45,000 adults in last January’s American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that vegetarians were 32 percent less likely to be suffer from heart disease than people who ate meat and fish. A Harvard University study of 37,698 men and 83,644 women, in last April’s Archives of Internal Medicine, concluded that meat consumption raises the risk of total, heart, and cancer mortality. We have sacrificed the lives of 10,000 American personnel and trillions of dollars in waging two wars to avenge the deaths of 2,600 Americans in the 9/11 attacks. When will we wage a bloodless, low-cost war on the killer meat-based diet, potentially responsible for as many as 1.3 million American deaths annually? In the meantime, we have the power to raise our own life expectancy by adopting a meatfree diet. An internet search provides ample resources. Albert Archer Westerly Sakonnet Times May 23, 2013 Page 7 New parking restrictions go in effect for beach-access roads LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Earth Day volunteers pose with some of the flotsam they collected in Little Compton. To, all, especially you with the pickup truck, thanks for cleanup help To the editor: The Sogkonate and Little Compton Garden Clubs wish to thank all who contributed their support, time and energy to the Little Compton litter collection and beautification to honor Earth Day 2013. The groups of young people who helped this year were: Brownie Troop #237; Daisy/Brownie Troop #1015, Cub Scout Pack #10, Boy Scout Troop #29, the Little Compton Youth Initiative Group, and the LCCC After School Program. This good work could not have been done without the group leaders, teachers and parents who accompanied the young people. The Sakonnet Preservation Association joined the families and individuals who worked to collect debris from the streets, beaches and preserved lands of Little Compton. We send a special thanks to the anonymous, white-haired gentleman in a black pickup truck. He gathered the numerous litter bags from Peckham Road and drove them to the dump. Bravo, Sir! Sogkonate Garden Club Little Compton Garden Club Little Compton LITTLE COMPTON — Just in time for the summer, the Town Council has amended ordinances that regulate parking on three streets that lead to beaches — Town Way, Taylors Lane, and Rhode Island Road. The changes, said Town Council President Robert Mushen, will result in slightly more parking being available on two of the three roads, and greater consistency among them in the way parking is managed. The ordinance takes effect June 1. The changes were precipitated in part, he said, by a complaint from a Town Way resident, who said that the post office wouldn't deliver mail to his mailbox because beachgoers' cars blocked access to it. On Rhode Island Road, he said, the problem was that cars parked too close to a corner prevented delivery vehicles from accessing the neighborhood. These problems led to a study, and proposed revisions to the town traffic and parking code (Chapter 5-15.4 and 5-15.5). The council conducted a public hearing at its meeting May 9, at which no public comment was offered. The council unanimously approved the proposed changes. Signs, road striping and marking to designate the new parking will be in place in the near future, Mr. Mushen said. Motorists are cautioned to rely on signage and striping and the ordinance itself. ■ Town Way: Parking will be allowed on the south side of Town Way west of Oliver Lane, and prohibited everywhere else as far east as West Main Road. A slight reduction of parking will result from what had been the case prior to the amendment. ■ Taylors Lane: Parking will be allowed on Taylors Lane west of the intersection with Taylors Lane North and Lincoln Avenue, and will be prohibited east of that intersection all the way east to West Main Road. ■ Rhode island Road: Parking will be allowed on the east side of Rhode Island Road to a point 125 feet south of Ohio Road, and will be prohibited south of that 125 point, and on the entire west side of the road.

Tiverton Director of Public Works Stephen Berlucchi said Monday that he work has to wait until the driest part of the summer. It is not yet clear, he said, whether the surface work will be a cold-planing, a process that removes the upper several inches, or whether a full excavation will be required. If the latter, costs will be greater. In addition to the paving, cross drains that carry water underneath and from one side of the road to the other, will be installed as part of the project at seven locations (two have already been done, five remain). It takes approximately two days to install a drain, Mr. Berlucchi said, during which time the road will have to be closed. Residents will be notified as the date for the work approaches. Funding for the $191,000 repaving project will be coming from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation and must await legislative approval. If the installation of five drains is also factored in, he said, costs could go as high $250,000. Sakonnet Bridge on-ramp not open yet; waiting for weather TIVERTON — The on-ramp from Main Road westbound onto the Sakonnet River Bridge has not yet opened, and will not open until night time weather permits, said Department of Transportation spokesman Charles St. Martin on Tuesday. “The ramp’s opening is predicated on final striping operations, which is weather-dependent and done at night to lessen the impact on traffic on Route 24. With rain in the forecast all week, we are dayto-day with the schedule.” The weather prediction gov- erns, not the appearance of good weather, he said. It was not certain, as of Tuesday afternoon, whether the ramp will open before Memorial Day weekend. The Main Road on-ramp “is an entirely new ramp,” Mr. St. Martin said, “and is positioned to line up with the new alignment of the Sakonnet River Bridge and Route 24. It also includes a much longer acceleration lane than the ramp it originally replaced, and will make it easier for traffic to merge with Route 24 South.” Banana bike Tiverton resident Christian Haler shot this photo of a banana-clad biker heading down Main Road in Tiverton one recent afternoon. POLICE REPORT Tiverton Police: Man too impaired for test Wednesday, May 15 At 6 p.m.,while responding to a report of a verbal argument, police learned that the Chad M.

We need digital photos e-mailed or sent on a disc as a high-resolution jpg or tif. Or, we accept glossy photographs (not those with a matte finish). We will begin running the notices in June as space permits and will print all the students from a particular university or college together (so, please be patient).

Perry Guitar player, customer service rep., loved fast cars Michael P Perry, 57, of Tiverton, died at St. Anne’s Hospital on Monday, May 20, 2013. Born in 1955, he was the son of Charles Perry and the late Lorraine Perry, and brother of Colleen Perry Ramos, all of Tiverton. He is survived by his father, Charlie, his sister Colleen and her husband Rick Ramos, niece Shannon Ramos and nephew Matthew Ramos, all of Tiverton, and girlfriend Kim Schmidt of Putnam Conn. He was the beloved grandson of the late Charles and Anna Perry. Mike was a graduate of Tiverton High School, and attended the University of Rhode Island where he studied journalism. He worked for many years as a customer service representative for various local businesses. Mike was an avid and accomplished guitarist. He spent many happy hours at the Seekonk Raceway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, TF Green Airport, and Logan Airport, doing what he loved — watching fast cars and airplanes. He loved NASCAR and was a master model builder. Also an aviation enthusiast, Mike collected die-cast airplane models and was a regular attendee of the Quonset Air Show. Confined to a wheelchair since childhood, Mike never thought of himself as disabled. He played street hockey and baseball when he was a kid, drove all over New England to attend car races and air shows from the time he received his license, and played guitar in various bands and duos at pubs and restaurants on the South Coast. Mike was an animal lover and always had a beloved dog or cat at his side. Mike was a great story-teller and entertained his friends and family for hours on end with tales of his road trips, family outings, concerts, and parties in the Lavoie's backyard. Virtually every story began with the words, “Did I tell you about the day me, Alvin, and Fairhurst…” or “So one day, me and Healey…” and ended in laughter. Other survivors include lifelong friends Alvin Lavoie, Ray Lavoie, Michael Fairhurst, Paul Levesque, Steve Healey, and Judy and Priscilla Harrison Bates of Tiverton. At Michael’s request, there will not be a wake or a funeral service. For those wishing to honor Mike’s life, contributions in his memory should be made to Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall River.

Page 16 Sakonnet Times May 23, 2013 Power plant gift helps library Parent Corner TIVERTON — A “Parent Corner” will be coming to Tiverton’s new library, thanks in part to a gift from Capital Power’s Tiverton Power Plant which has pledged $10,000 to help create it. The Tiverton Library Foundation made the announcement recently. Janet Linhares, Children’s Librarian at the Tiverton Library, said she envisions the Parent Corner as a comfortable place where parents build friendships, share information, utilize parenting books and media, and bring their families into the library community. Parent Angie Dias said, “I have experienced firsthand the impact that Ms. Janet and the Storytime Program has had on my toddler Mirai’s development. I want to thank Tiverton Power for supporting the parent section in the much needed new library, which will be such an asset to parents as they foster their children’s love of books and reading.” The Tiverton Library Foundation said they are grateful for Capital Power’s support and recognition of the value of the new Library as part of the Town’s basic infrastructure. With almost 5 percent still to raise to cover all costs, from land purchase to opening day, the Tiverton Library Foundation invites other companies and indi- viduals to become part of the new library. Ann Grealish-Rust at 401-625-6796 X 12 can provide more information about donations or Naming Opportunities. Tiverton Power Plant Manager Tricia Keegan, an engineer and mother of three school aged boys, said the company welcomed the opportunity to partner with the new Tiverton Library to reach the community’s youngest members and their parents. “Environmental compliance and community outreach are among the attributes we take pride in here at Capital Power,” she said. “The combined cycle power plant in Tiverton is a state of the art facility.” The plant has such a low profile presence that many residents don’t know it is here, she said. It pays about $750,000 annually in town taxes and helps to bring technology to Tiverton High School classrooms, she added.

PODIATRIST RICHARD W. DIONNE JR. Colt Andrews Student Government Treasurer Lauren Serbst waits her turn to speak in a committee meeting. RAIMONDO: ‘Run the best campaign you can’ From Page 1 Sweeney. Treasurer Raimondo encouraged the students to run for office and gave them some advice from her own experience. “When I started the campaign, sometimes I worried that I would not succeed,” she said. “Run the best campaign you can, work hard and you will come away from the experience stronger and smarter than you were before — whether you win or lose. And don’t be afraid to lose.” Colt Andrews Student Government is alive and well today, thanks to the efforts of parents, faculty advisor and music teacher Elizabeth Vincze, and community advisor and School Committee member Paul Silva. Though typically dealing with age-appropriate issues like access to playground equipment, the Student Government effectively mirrors “grown up” legislative bodies: participants follow Robert’s Rules of Order, record the minutes of their meetings, and break into subcommittees to hash out compromises. They also fundraise, this year earning nearly $1,500 for Hasbro Children’s Hospital, a “grown-up” sum by any measure. Reached after the event, Raimondo had high praise for the Colt Andrews students. “I was so impressed with the questions from the students and excited to hear about the student government program at Colt-Andrews. Being involved in the community and in government is rewarding for me and I hope that some of these children will also go into public service.” Raimondo joked, “I wouldn’t want to run against them any time soon. The competition looks strong.” “I wouldn't want to run against them any time soon. The competition looks strong.” GINA RAIMONDO, RI GENERAL TREASURER “Student government has been a great experience for Kaleigh.” MARY ANN QUINN, MOTHER OF COLT ANDREWS STUDENT GOVERNMENT VICE PRESIDENT Bucking the trend The Colt Andrews student government is unique in one notable way: this year, its executive committee is an exclusive girls’ club. That makes Treasurer Raimondo a uniquely appropriate role model. Nationally, female candidates are woefully underrepresented in the halls of power. According to Jennifer Lawless, Associate Professor of Government at American University and author of “It Still Takes a Candidate: Why Women Don’t Run For Office,” there are seven key reasons hindering gender parity: ■Women are more likely to perceive the electoral environment as competitive and biased. ■ Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin’s candidacies aggravated women’s perceptions of gender bias. ■ Women are less likely than men to perceive themselves as qualified. ■ Potential female candidates are less competitive and confident, and more risk-averse than men. ■ Women react more negatively than men to modern political campaigns. ■ Women are less likely than men to receive a suggestion that they run for office. ■ Women remain responsible for the majority of childcare and household responsibilities. Of course, those distinctions between men and women are meaningless to the power-brokers at Colt Andrews, who just know that they are having fun with their friends and learning some interesting things about how the world works. Their parents appreciate the experience as well. “Student government has been a great experience for Kaleigh,” says Mary Ann Quinn, mother of the Vice President. “It has provided her with the opportunity to gain experience in public speaking, one-on-one interaction with teachers and school administrators, and the ability to work as a team with her peers. I think that she had gained a lot of self confidence from it.” At one point during her visit to Colt Andrews, treasurer Raimondo addressed the all-girl executive committee, which which she shared the stage, directly. “I’m the first female democrat to serve as treasurer in Rhode Island, a state that has had no female governors or senators and only one female congressman,” she said. “And I have to say, it’s pretty cool to see four girls up here. You make me so happy and proud.” will be joining our Podiatry Department effective June 1, 2013. Dr. DeHaven completed his undergraduate degree in Biology at Purdue University.

An Amateur Still Life Painting and a Colonial Revival Coffee Set Q. I have had this painting in my family for years and have tried to find information on the artist, with no luck. Can you tell me anything about this artist and what it is worth? A. This lovely still life of fruit, cake and drink is most likely done by an amateur artist from Southeastern Massachusetts. Executed in oil pastels and framed under glass, it is signed by the artist Karen WATERMAN “J.H. Clark” in the lower left corner. The label on the back appears to be from the frame shop “Johnson Art Shop, Picture Framing, Second Street, Fall River, MA,” and has a date stamped November 12, 1953. The appearance of the frame seems very much like those sold in the 1950’s. I could find nothing on a “J. H. Clark,” and although the rendering of the fruit in the foreground is well done, the cake stand and carafe seem almost unfinished. This leads me to believe that Clark was a local amateur artist who may have been a friend of the family, or perhaps it was received as a gift. I do not believe it was received framed but was framed by the recipient of the pastel. There may be some “foxing” or mold on the paper, though it is difficult to tell the extent of the damage (if any) as it is under glass. Art works by amateur artists are difficult to value as it depends on medium, genre, execution and of course, condition. Unfortunately, I do not believe this would command a high price. Q. I would love to know where you might think this pretty tea set is from. I was with my mother in Rochester, NY in the early 40s....at huge antiques 'loft', when she decided to buy it. I'm sure I was bored to death, as I was around nine years old.

I cherish it. Is it perhaps German? I could find no markings. A . This is a tough call due to the lack of markings, and you have not made note of the size and dimensions of these pieces. My guess is it would have been made in America for the American market, or else it would have at least the country of origin stamp. The style appears to be Colonial Revival putting it circa late 1870’s 1930’s. The simplicity of the bluebird and apple blossoms pattern and the simple pewter accents also fit the Colonial Revival style of the time. During this period, all things American became very trendy. In 1876 the country celebrated its centennial birth. This was the period that Colonial Williamsburg, Winterthur, and the Henry Ford Museum all came into being. Organizations like the “Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution” and genealogical societies also began during this period. Your set, which includes a coffee pot, creamer, sugar bowl (missing cover?) and biscuit jar would most likely sell in the $125 range. Your memories that it creates of your mother may be worth more.

Former Brown president receives France’s highest honor Ruth Simmons, the 18th president of Brown University (200112), was named Chevalier in the French National Order of the Legion of Honor in a ceremony today at Brown University’s John Carter Brown Library. “I am honored to accept this award from the French Republic,” Simmons said. “My interest in languages and cultures began very early in my education, inspiring what would become a life-long interest in French language and literature. Today, more than ever, I believe that students must be educated broadly, as global citizens, to navigate our increasingly complex world. To be recognized for my commitment to this value is truly an honor.” Simmons’s medal was presented by Fabien Fieschi, consul general of France in Boston, who read the official citation before the presentation: “The nomina- tion of Ms. Simmons as Chevalier dans l´ordre de la Légion d´Honneur is a small token of our admiration and recognition for a life dedicated to the power of intelligence and education to transform lives, to a career dedicated to being a visionary leader in academia.” The French Legion of Honor is the highest decoration offered by the French government, initiated by France’s first consul, Napoleon Bonaparte, in 1802. The Legion of Honor has recognized women and men who have contributed to the advancement of the arts and the enrichment of the French cultural inheritance and its diversity in France and around the world. It may be awarded to foreign citizens, though such recognition is relatively rare. Simmons was selected to receive the honor by former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Even if he were not directly involved, the cumulative impact of these problems damages his legacy. I.R.S. audits— When the taxman cometh Arlene nobody likes VIOLET him. The recent expose that conservative groups who sought tax exempt status under 501(C)( 4) regulations were subjected to inquiries not required of other groups threatens to be a major problem for the President, particularly if any nexus is made to the White House. To be sure, the IRS is correct to look at organizations that are essentially political and masquerading as “social welfare” groups. In some ways, the United States Supreme Court has let this genie out of the bottle—the onus falls on an unpopular governmental agency to monitor the feigns. The IRS is hurting because they have not been as tough on groups like Priorities USA, a democrat powerhouse or Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, a republican juggernaut, both of whom should be on the list for revocation of the tax exempt status. This stumble is a black eye to the agency and may derail any momentum Mr. Obama wanted to have for his second term. Seizure of reporters’ records— - The explanation that the Justice Department subpoenaed Associated Press reporters’ toll records for April and May 2012 for 20 phone numbers in five area codes and three states smacks of a police state. The rationale that the reporting was based on a serious leak seems to be an exaggeration. The story that there was an Al Qaeda plot to bomb an airplane was reported after the fact. The Associated Press’s President said that the White House assured the news agency that the national security concerns had passed and that the White House was poised to announce the failed bomb plot the following day. The Associated Press published the article to refute the White House claims Photos of events, people, etc. available for purchase eastbayri.com that there had been no Qaeda plots around the anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden. The heavy-handedness may very well alienate some reporters who have had a press love affair with Mr. Obama. Benghazi—There’s a lot of blame to go around relative to the security issues surrounding the Benghazi terrorist attack. The real failure, which is being obscured by the finger-pointing, is, as the New York Times reports, the failure to learn anything from our presence in Iraq. The conclusion that the intervention in Libya to oust Colonel Qaddafi would somehow be light, quick, with a fast exit was a total miscalculation. The consequent terrorist action mirrors the experience in Iraq. The military—Last week, yet another officer charged with policing sexual harassment is accused of repeated instances of sexual assault on female soldiers under his command, and of forcing one into prostitution. Figures released show thousands of sexual assault cases being reported. This could seriously impede recruitment and retention of quality soldiers. The sheer number of these problems in such a short period of time makes Mr. Obama’s administration seem completely out of control. Page B6 East Bay Life May 22-23, 2013 Beautifying Bristol, one basket at a time Bristol resident Jackie Cranwell, an agent with Raveis Real Estate, is spearheading an effort to beautify the downtown business district. Bristol Blooming Baskets is Ms. Cranwell’s initiative to hang flower baskets from the lamp posts, initially on Hope Street near the intersection with State, but eventually she would like to see them along both Home and Thames streets, with 128 baskets in all. Lamp posts will be outfitted with brackets on each side, with two Blooming Baskets on each lamp post. Ms. Cranwell estimates it will take about five years to reach the goal of 128 total baskets, as this is entirely a volunteer effort and, at press time, she was awaiting word on a grant that will finance the launch of this ambitious project. She hopes they will be able to hang the first baskets on June 1. More volunteers are needed for this effort! Please contact Jackie Cranwell at [email protected] to find out how you can help.

Both shows playing at the same time from May 16 through June 30. It’s the theatrical event of the season: a pair of interlocking comedies that take place simultaneously, with one cast performing both shows in two different theaters at the same time, through June 30 in both the Chace and Dowling Theaters. A masterfully constructed duo of plays, House & Garden are like two opposite sides of a theatrical puzzle - the picture gets clearer, funnier and more profound, when you return to see the second side of the story. Teddy and Trish are hosting a big garden party for the town. Friends, family, a London writer, and a French movie star… what could go wrong? Fans of Ayckbourn will know the answer: anything and everything. While the actors race from House (in the upstairs theater) to Garden (back down the stairs to the first floor theater), the audience stays put, seeing each production one at a time, in either order. Set in the same time span over the course of one day, the plays show two different sides of the comings and goings of planning the annual neighborhood garden party. Each play is set in a different locale. House keeps its characters firmly ensconced in the living room of homeowners Teddy and Trish. Meanwhile, in Garden, the household help are busily preparing for the upcoming garden party.

East Bay Life May 22-23, 2013 Page B7 STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE T #RedSox #RIpolitics #journalisticstandardsstillapply he Sox are showing early signs of a “June swoon” that I refer as “May decay.” I’m reminding myself that the season is young and it’s only a game, but I still shriek at the TV and curse the score. On the bright side, Lester and Buchholz have been unbelievable and Big Papi had a stellar batting average to start the season. In fact, Ortiz was hitting so well that Dan Shaughnessy from the Boston Globe suggestCara ed that he may CROMWELL be using performance-enhancing drugs. Hmm. No evidence was offered—just accusations like “You are from the Dominican Republic. You are an older player” and “they were chanting ‘steroids’ in Toronto.” I don’t have enough space to conquer the racist angle here, but the OrtizShaughnessy dustup and recent observations of other news media have made me realize that journalism as a career has either evolved or we have our fair share of irresponsible journalists around here. It wasn’t always this way. My first “real” job after college was in Governor Sundlun’s press office. To say that times have changed is a gross understatement. While we had computers, there was no e-mail, no Twitter and just one very large mobile phone. If we wanted to share something with a colleague, we’d have to print it out and walk it over to them. We had a heck of a fax machine and we very carefully programmed it with the fax numbers of all the relevant news media. We’d hit the P2 button and magically send our news around Rhode Island over a blaring fax line that took at least an hour to communicate with all the newsrooms. The members of the State House press corps were well known to us as they would pop into the office for a real paper copy of our news releases, get comments for pieces they were working on and pick up Governor Sundlun’s schedule. Despite the fact that Governor Sundlun had a tendency to generate some “off message” news, our office had a good relationship with the media. There were some reporters we were more wary of than others, but we were careful—in that position reporters are never your friends — and they were professional, so a delicate balance existed. Shaughnessy’s hijinks show that today it’s no longer enough to sniff out a good story, report the facts, and get it out there first. For some media, creating the controversy, inserting themselves in the story and drumming up attention has become part of the job. Some call themselves columnists — I suppose to protect themselves and their employers from being sued — but with the exception of a few Hollywood actors, no one bothers to go after the media anymore. The line between commenting and reporting is blurry: Shaughnessy’s byline sometimes reads “columnist” and sometimes reads “staff writer,” so what he has a “right” to write is subject to broad interpretation. Talk show hosts apparently have no standards whatsoever. Last week I listened to one (who has no background in security or academia) berate a representative from URI for moving their graduation indoors and heard another one (with no expertise in finance) critiquing the state’s investment portfolio. Apparently having a mike in front on your face can make you an expert in any field and gives you license to tell other people how to do their jobs. Even worse, they get away with it because many spokespeople and public officials don’t want to appear and have to defend themselves against questions on par with “how often do you beat your wife?” The 24-hour news cycle is partly to blame for the warping of journalistic standards. Breaking news is often driven by Twitter and the demand for new information is insatiable. Sometimes the truth — and even the real desire to report it — seems to get lost in the feeding frenzy of a news cycle and there’s more value placed on who’s “following” you than what you have to report. It seems that members of the media have to tweet constantly to be relevant and for those that have nothing good to say, this means retweeting old pieces, putting out half-baked stories, or worse, reporting gossip and assumptions as fact. I’m not the only one noticing some of the guano on Twitter. During a particularly snarky day in the local political Twitterverse, rising star Ethan Shorey from the Valley Breeze tweeted, “Many "news" tweets by RI press lately bordering on open mocking. #journalisticstandardsstillapply” So what’s a news consumer to do? I’m hoping that the recent spate of bad reporting is like a slump and we can shake it off and move on. Perhaps as the political season heats up, we should ask reporters to imagine (or remember) what it’s like to go to work with just a fax, a brick phone and a copy of their J-school ethics textbook. Dan Shaughnessy should also pack a jacket if he’s heading for the Red Sox locker room. I think he’s going to find it’s mighty cold in there. Cara Cromwell is a public affairs consultant and enthusiastic Red Sox fan, who believes that in politics—and baseball—game changing action occurs in the middle, creating opportunity on the ball field and compromise and coalition-building in the halls of power.

Rocky Point Foundation casts a big net Last week the Rocky Point Foundation held a public hearing on the future of Rocky Point Park at Rhodes on the Pawtucket in Cranston and hundreds of Rhode Islanders attended, sharing their ideas about possible Park uses. In March of 2013, the sale of the remaining 82 acres of the former amusement park was conveyed to the state of Rhode Island and plans call for it to be converted into a state park. Suggestions at the hearing were far reaching including a camp ground, beach cabanas, a public venue for concerts, a fishing pier, a dock for recreational boating, a water taxi service to other State Parks and a host of other ideas. Visit www.rockypointfoundation.org for information on how to make a donation or how to get active in the foundation. Where’s the bite Tautog fishing remains good with anglers often catching their limit (three fish/person/day) when fishing in bay and near coastal waters including Conimicut Light, Ohio Ledge, Rocky Point, General Rock, off Narragansett and other popular tautog fishing spots. Make sure the tide is moving when fishing. They are biting on green crabs, Asian crabs, worms and one angler reports catching his limit using quahogs. Last week Dan O’Hara of Cranston reported caching their boat limit at Plum Lighthouse next to the Jamestown Bridge, “I went Saturday to the lighthouse next to the Jamestown bridge. We caught 20, 10 were keeper size. We started at 10:30 a.m. at dead low tide and the action picked up soon after on the incoming. Used green crabs, 4 oz sinker.” Craig Castro of Erickson’s Bait & tackle said tautog fishing has been excellent all over the Bay with customers catching them on green crabs and worms. Striped bass fishing remains good from shore and boats. Al Johnson of Warwick said, “I started fishing at 4 p.m. Sunday and caught three nice keeper striped bass, the largest being in the midthirty inch range when fishing from shore at Conimicut Point.” The Providence River is thick with Atlantic Menhaden. Adam Maziarz reports on the RI Saltwater Anglers Association blog Sunday, “Providence River from the Squantum Club to Bold Point was so full of pogies…that no one was catching any bass. I went south to Prudence Island and caught a few keepers and some shorts off the north point. We even caught some 5-7 lb blues. Bass were everywhere for a few hours, busting all over the surface chasing silver sides.” Dave Henault of Ocean State Tackle, Providence, said, “Striped bass fishing has been hot along the East Bay Bike Path and at Sabin Point with bass up to 44"s taking clam tongues, sea worms and pogey chunks. Bridge fishing on the bike path in Barrington and Warren has been active with a lot of schoolie bass and small tautog but persistent fishermen are rewarded with occasional keepers of both blackfish and striped bass.” According to Dave Henault of Ocean State Tackle. Domenic Petraca caught three 10 pound weakfish (squeteague) off Prudence Island's Mount Tom. Captain Dave Monti has been fishing and shell fishing on Narragansett Bay for over 40 years. He holds a captain’s master license and a charter fishing license. He is a RISAA board member, a member of the RI Party & Charter Boat Association and a member of the RI Marine Fisheries Council.

The Intensive Program for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the first of its kind on the East Coast, will treat children from five to 18 years old with moderate to severe OCD and alleviate symptoms including extreme anxiety, unreasonable thoughts and fears, and repetitive behaviors or rituals. According to a statement by program clinic co-director Jennifer Freeman, Ph.D., “For children and teens with severe OCD, the disruption to their daily lives can be profound. This program can be an effective care option for youth who have not responded to traditional outpatient treatment or who lack specialized OCD services where they live.” Patients in the program receive treatment after school for daily three-hour sessions at Bradley Hospital, as well as twice weekly sessions at their home, school and other community settings. The integration of community- and hospital-based treatment helps to avoid academic and social disruption, and lets family life resume as quickly as possible. “Every day challenges for children and teens with severe OCD can include school avoidance, withdrawal from family and friends, loss of interest in activities and problems eating, sleeping or bathing,” said Freeman. “Being able to offer an intensive intervention that will help these kids go back to ‘just being kids’ as soon as possible is invaluable.” For more information about the program for OCD at Bradley Hospital, please call 401/444-1516.

Page B20 East Bay Life May 22-23, 2013 East Bay Real Estate EASTBAYClassifieds.com May 22-24 , 2013 Page C1 When considering a home, think with your stomach ow you grocery shop can actually help you decide which home to buy.. It is always exciting to search for a new home. There are many facets to this process, location, waterfront or waterview, school system, or lifestyle choices - close to golf or equestrian facilities, tennis clubs or yoga studios. The home really has to enhance your lifestyle. An important question you may want to ask, is how do you do your grocery shopping? Do Kristin Parella you shop every day or once a week or once a month? What are your lifestyle needs when it comes to food? Growing up in Bristol, in my very young years, we lived away from town, and my mother would call Model Grocery several times a week and they would deliver groceries as needed. Twice a week we would have milk in glass bottles delivered H to our milk box, and once a week the bread man would deliver bread, eggs and seasonal vegetables. When Almacs came to town, where Seabra is now, we shopped there and at Chellel's in Barrington. Almacs was always a long social event, and a regular, convenient place to shop, but I loved going to Chellels. There, special things were featured—things that were not yet at Almacs. It was there that I discovered Haagen-Dazs ice cream and Pepperidge farm cookies. The produce man was there for you to hand select your vegetables, or recommend the juiciest peach. A small market, with small carts, it was always my favorite spot to shop. In my high school days I worked as a cashier at Almacs, and would see people from all walks of life, each with their own grocery shopping style. Some would come in everyday, others on Thursday nights or Saturday mornings, or, if they lived on Prudence, they would typically do a very large shop. I was always fascinated by how much they could fit in the grocery cart and then to be able to transport on the ferry. People from Prudence were always fun to check out. Since they would typically shop once a month, the process was longer than most, the conversations were interesting, and my colleagues would pitch in to bag the groceries—always a puzzle to fit all those groceries in boat bags. In my 20's, I enjoyed wonderful food every day. I went to restaurants often, which were a terrific source of inspiration to cook at home. Living close to a fabulous grocer was essential. I shopped every day. Living on Providence's East Side, I had access to the wonderful Bread & Circus, which is now Whole Foods, and just across the bridge to Federal Hill was Venda Ravioli and Joe's Epicurio where I would buy the best ravioli, and the best veal chops that, in my hands, came a close second to Cappricio's. I simply loved the challenge of creating my own wonderful meal or attempting to replicate (to no avail, still) the fabulous pizza crust served at Al Forno. But close access to such a variety of such quality food, whether in a grocery store or restaurant, was an important element to my choos- River’s Edge ing a place to live. Nowadays, I am in a completely different time and place in my life. Working full time and with three teenagers, I find myself having to shop in bulk, and I go to a wholesale club close to where I live. That store is just as much as a blessing to my lifestyle now as Joe's Epicurios was back in the 1990's. Life has become so busy, and having a stocked fridge gives my teenagers the opportunity to cook and create, and fosters independence. Those wholesale clubs now have good choices of meats, cheeses and vegetables. And, I might add, those extra large bags of Starbucks coffee are a total gift! But, when I am an empty nester, I will not need to bulk shop. I will most likely shop more frequently and more selectively. Shopping this way can be a social event, and smaller stores know their customers. The meat men at Chellels or Joe at Joe's Epicurio knew our habits, our tastes. They took care of us. Unwrapping the veal chop or opening the bags of fresh, hand selected green beans was part of the reward of a wonderful meal. So, when you are buying a home, you may want to consider your lifestyle with regard to grocery shopping. If you buy in bulk, does that home have enough storage in the kitchen? Is the entry easy to access with bags of groceries in your hands? Any steps? Do you want close access to a variety restaurants or do you prefer the quiet inhome lifestyle? Is convenience and accessibility important to you, or, like Prudence shoppers, is grocery shopping a monthly event that does not take away from enjoying more important things in life? Are you apt to want the social aspect of asmaller shopping experience? When shopping for a home, you may want to explore the local markets, restaurants, or takeout options. You expect to have to take your architectural and home design tastes into account when shopping for a home. Consider your epicurean tastes as well.

Variable mortgages listed are for 30 years, adjusted annually. Points are a one-time charge equal to one percent of the mortgage. APR stands for annual percentage rate and reflects closing costs spread over the life of the loan. CAP is the most a variable mortgage can increase in one year. Savings and loans and Rhode Island loan and investment banks are included in the bank section of this chart. These rates, provided by the institutions on Monday of this week, are subject to change or special conditions. For more information, consumers are advised to call the institution.
