Plan for new
wind turbine
is approved
Blessing the brook
Pact expected to be
finalized Nov. 6 would

Four of the seven seats on the
Portsmouth School Committee
are up for grabs this year, with all
four incumbent members running for re-election.
Former Chairman David Croston and member John Wojichowski are running under the Democratic banner with candidate Jessi-
It’s been a source of embarrassment to town officials for more
than two years, but a plan to
replace the broken wind turbine
with a new one is finally moving
forward.
The Town Council Monday
night voted unanimously to sign a
letter of intent with a private firm,
Wind Energy Development
(WED) of North Kingstown, to
replace the town’s wind turbine at
the high school within two years.
The council will review the legal
documents at a special meeting
Nov. 6 before formally entering
the pact with WED, which has set
a deadline of Nov. 7
The new turbine would be
smaller and operate without a
gearbox — the very source of the
current turbine’s problems.
Approved by voters in a $3 million
bond issue in 2007, the turbine
has been idle since 2012 when its
gearbox failed.
According to Finance Director
Jim Lathrop, after its December
payment the town will still owe
more than $1.6 million on the turbine, and the annual debt service
totals more than $220,000. Under
the 25-year agreement with WED,
the firm would pay the town
about $2 million, which would
allow the town to pay off its balance on the bond.
The agreement transfers the
town’s risk on the turbine to a private developer with a long-term
lease, explained Mr. Lathrop.
“That’s what this is really about:
Eliminating long-term risk,” he
said.
If the new turbine fails, it will no
longer be the town’s problems,

The waters at Founder’s Brook
were “purified” Saturday in a
sacred Native American ceremony
attended by about 30 members of
the Aquidneck Indian Council.
After gathering in a circle, one
by one each member took a small
container of water and offered a
prayer before pouring it into the
babbling brook. Then they walked
clockwise around the circle and
returned to their spot before
another member did the same.
During the lengthy process, members chanted “honoring” songs
while herbs burned in the middle
of the circle.
“Creator, we ask you to guide us
on the right path, look down on us
and smile on us. The sacred fire is
lit for you,” said Don Sly, the chairman of the nonprofit group whose
native name is 3 Horses. “There
are members of our council who
are in dire need or healing.”
The Chippewa ritual, explained
3 Horses, “purifies” the water so
that it’s clean for drinking, as well
as for fish and local crops.
“We’re going to take fresh, clean
water that’s been blessed. You’re
pouring your prayers into the
water and it will mix with everyone else’s prayers,” he said. “The
prayers do not stop there. The idea
is that the continue to flow wherever they go.”
It was the third year that the
nonprofit group held the “Healing
of the Water” ceremony at the site
where the town was founded
more than 376 years ago. Saturday’s event also featured a naming
ceremony, during which four
members of the council received
their tribal names, and a pipe cer-
emony.
It began with a “smudging” ceremony, led by another council
member, Seeker of Owl Wisdom.
Sacred herbs such as white sage,
cedar and tobacco were burned,
giving off a smoke that’s used to
chase evil or unwanted spirits
away from an individual, said 3
Horses.
Using turkey or hawk feathers,
Seeker of Owl Wisdom fanned the
smoke at different parts of a person’s body, front and back. “You
start at the heart; that is what you
cleanse first,” said 3 Horses. “Then
you go from the head down to
your toes.”
No photography was allowed
during the actual ceremonies.
“This is our church,” 3 Horses
explained.
Naming ceremony
After the Healing of the Water
ceremony came the naming ceremony, in which several members
were bestowed tribal names.
Beforehand, the members would
ask 3 Horses for a name, and he
meditated for at least one moon
cycle with the Creator guiding
him.
“Basically it’a s bond between
the person wanting the name,
myself and the creator,” said 3
Horses, noting that the name
sometimes comes from inspiration or a dream. “They don’t know
the names yet; that stays with me
until the actual ceremony.”
3 Horses’ name was given to
him by another tribal member,
Running Deer, after the pair started seeing three sets of horses
nearly everywhere they’d go, he
said. “Obviously, I was told by the
creator that that’s what he wanted
me to be named.”
The names can be as short as
one word or as long as a complete
sentence, he said. As was the case
Saturday, sometimes a member is
given a choice of two names and
can pick their favorite.
On Saturday, a council member
named Crystal was given the
name Moondancer, Joshua was
named Searching Elk and
Martha’s tribal name was Buffalo
Child.
One member was too young to
speak but received a new name
anyway. Sarah Elizabeth, not even
4 months old, was named Willow
Rain Dancer.
In each case, another member
of the tribe introduced the person
around the circle to everyone,
using their new name.
The service concluded with a
pipe ceremony, in which apple
tobacco was stuffed into a Native
American pipe, lit and passed
around. Everyone said a silent
prayer and offered the pipe up to
Father (the sky above) and Mother
(the earth below) before either
taking a puff or simple holding it
to their chest.
Although the long ceremony
(about 100 minutes) was stately in
nature, it was also punctuated by
light banter and humor at times. “I
need my four-wheel drive sneakers for this one,” 3 Horses said at
one point as he tried to navigate
through a particular soggy patch
of the park.
After the ceremony, members
were invited back to the Middle
Road home of 3 Horses and his
wife, Dream of Wolves (aka Barbara Sly), which serves as the
council’s headquarters. There they
enjoyed a potluck lunch and
dancing to the music of the Soaring Eagle Singers.

Pedestrian fatality deemed a ‘call to action’

In the wake of a tragic auto
accident that took the life of an
elderly pedestrian Oct. 19, the
town has agreed to work to
improve safety conditions for
both pedestrians and drivers in
the Sea Meadow Farms neighborhood.
Marilyn Oglo, 83, was killed
while walking on Sea Meadow
Court after being struck by a car
driven by Barbara Krensavage,
58, of 72 Lambie Circle nearby,
according to police. Police said
Ms. Krensavage was driving
north on Sea Meadow Court
when her vehicle crossed the
southbound lane of travel and
struck Ms. Oglo, who was walking along the shoulder of the
road.
Ms. Oglo was transported to
Newport Hospital, where she was
pronounced dead. Ms. Krensavage was charged with felony
counts of driving to endanger,
death resulting, and reckless driving.
In an Oct. 21 letter that was
discussed at Monday night’s
Town Council meeting, JoEllen
Hunt, secretary of the Sea Meadow Farms Association, called on
town leaders to address the safety of residents who walk and drive in the neighborhood.
“The tragic accident that
occurred on Sea Meadow Court
on Oct. 19 is a call to action,” Ms.
Hunt stated in the letter.
She made two suggestions to
improve safety in the neighborhood:
■ “The first suggestion is to
paint a center stripe on the roads,
especially at the turns of our
winding drive. The curve at the
north end of Lambie Circle is
especially hazardous because
pine trees obscure the view of
oncoming vehicles.”
■ “The second suggestion is to
increase the visibility of the ‘Keep
Right’ sign at the Sea Meadow
entrance on East Main Road. This
could be accomplished by simply
applying reflective paint or tape to
the sign post, and/or increasing
the wattage of the street light on
East Main Road.”
Ms. Hunt concluded her letter
by commending the town for its
recent efforts to slow traffic in

greatly appreciated,” she stated.
At Monday’s meeting, Department of Public Works Director
Dave Kehew said he would reach
out to Ms. Hunt. He said reflective
signage, a “Keep Right” sign and
improved lighting are all things his
department can address.
However, Mr. Kehew said the
center striping would not be in
accordance with subdivision regulations. “That’s not something
Sal Carceller, who lives on Lepes
Road just south of Sea Meadows,
told the council that there are
some “serious inconsistencies”
with speed limits and stop signs in
the areas. “It isn’t just Sea Meadows, guys,” said Mr. Carceller.
The biggest problem, he said,
are speeding and reckless drivers,
he said.
“I was almost struck the same
way that poor woman was struck,”
said Mr. Carceller. “I was on the
grass. I jumped and rolled down
the hill. That driver never saw me
and it was perfect daylight.”
Mr. Carceller said he’s told drivers to slow down in the neighborhood, but to no avail.
Chief Lee said he’s ordered extra
patrols in the neighborhoods, and
agreed with Mr. Carceller that
speeding is a problem.
“If you’re doing 15, it looks like
you’re driving backwards,” he
said.

Town Council candidate David
Gleason is defending his campaign signs after a local resident
accused him of “degrading” the
Portsmouth 375th logo by using it
in political advertising.
In an e-mail sent Saturday
morning to Town Council members, Town Administrator John
Klimm and two members of the
Portsmouth 375th Steering Committee, Island Park resident and
local news blogger John McDaid
accused Mr. Gleason of improperly using the 375th logo on re-election signs, one of which is located
on Park Avenue.
“As a founding member of and
donor to the Portsmouth 375
Committee, I am outraged that
the official logo developed by
Roskelly is being used on campaign signs by Town Council candidate David Gleason,” Mr.
McDaid stated in his e-mail. “This
beautiful, award-winning logo
was developed by Roskelly, Inc. as
a non-partisan representation of
our town, and it was intended to
celebrate our whole community,
as its use in many communications and official materials over
the past years attest.”
Last year the town celebrated
the 375th anniversary of its founding in 1638 with a series of events
organized by a group of volunteers led by the Portsmouth 375th
Steering Committee.
Mr. McDaid said using the logo
in political advertising “degrades
the brand equity of this mark and
does irrevocable damage to this
important symbol. I’m publicly
calling on Mr. Gleason to remove
this from his signs, and I urge
This photo provided by Island Park resident John McDaid shows one of

Portsmouth’s Council and administration to support this position.”
In another e-mail sent later Saturday morning, Mr. McDaid said
he confronted Mr. Gleason about
the signs at the transfer station,
where the Independent candidate
was greeting drivers and handing
out campaign literature. (Mr.
McDaid’s accounts can be read on
his Hard Deadlines blog at
http://harddeadlines.com.)
On Sunday, Mr. Gleason said he
never intended to “degrade” the
375th logo.
“That was the furthest thing
that I thought of, from day one,”
said Mr. Gleason of Mr. McDaid’s
accusation. “I can understand his
point, but it was trivial to me.”
Mr. Gleason said he was merely
re-using some leftover placards
from a project he initiated at the
end of last year, when he told the
Portsmouth 375th Steering Committee he would be putting up
signs around town at various historic homes. The signs included
the 375th logo and the approximate date each home was built,
he said.
“Those signs were purchased by
me. They weren’t purchased by
the Portsmouth 375th Committee.
I bought them right from Bob
Hamilton, who’s on the 375th
committee,” he said.
Mr. Gleason said he decided to
re-use the signs, as he did his campaign brochure from two years
ago, for his next re-election bid as
a cost-cutting measure.
“I was effectively recycling the
signs. These are very small signs
compared to what everyone else
has up,” said Mr. Gleason, adding
that he displayed only six of them
around town. “I’m not spending
money on this campaign. I’m an
Independent and I don’t have the
same luxury as a Democrat or
Republican.”
Mr. Gleason, however, didn’t
rule out a change to his signs if
enough people object to them. So
far, he said, Mr. McDaid is the only
person who’s complained.
“I have material to cover (the
375th logo) up if need be. I’m still
weighing what to do,” he said.

State ballot questions
Casino gambling highlights the slate of state questions posed to voters Tuesday, followed by a proposed review of the state Constitution and $248 million in proposed bond spending. With interest on the
borrowing, the total referenda would total nearly
$400 million, according to the non-profit Rhode
Island Public Expenditure Council.
The seven state questions include:
Question 1: "Shall an act be approved which would
authorize the facility known as 'Newport Grand' in
the city of Newport to add state-operated casino
gambling, such as table games, to the types of gambling it offers only and exclusively at the facility?"
The former jai-alai fronton currently offers slot
machine gambling but no table games. Approval of
Question 1 would allow the casino to add games like
black jack, craps and roulette.
Question 2: An amendment to the state Constitution regarding casino gambling would stipulate that
no "change in the location of gambling permitted in
a municipality would occur without further approval
of the majority of those electors voting on said proposed location change in a referendum within said
municipality."
Casino gambling already requires both a statewide
referendum as well as a vote of residents in any town
where a casino is proposed. The amendment stipulates that an approved casino must remain in the
exact location the town's voters originally approved,
or they must vote again.
Question 3: "Shall there be a convention to amend
or revise the Constitution?"
Every 10 years, the state General Assembly asks
voters whether they want to amend the state Constitution. Should the measure be approved, the legislature would craft a list of proposed amendments for
delegates to consider. The 75 delegates — totaling
the number of representatives in the General Assembly — would be chosen in a separate election, and
any amendments the delegates propose would need
to be approved by voters in a future election.
Question 4: Higher education facilities bonds —
$125 million.
Approval of the bond would allow the state to build
a new College of Engineering building at the University of Rhode Island. The engineering buildings at the
university were built in the 1950s and '60s, and they
lack modern laboratories and facilities, according to
URI President David Dooley.
Question 5: Creative and Cultural Economy Bonds
— $35 million.
The bond would support the arts around the state,
helping fund renovation projects at cultural facilities.
Proponents, including Gov. Lincoln Chafee, say the
bond would be an investment in arts and culture.
Opponents, including the RI Center for Freedom &
Prosperity, say it gives unfair preferential treatment
to a specific industry in the state. Organizations that
would benefit from the bond include:
■ Trinity Repertory Company — $4.6 million
■ Rhode Island Philharmonic — $2.4 million
■ Newport Performing Arts Center — $4.2 million
■ United Theater/Westerly Land Trust — $2.4 mil-
lion
■ The Chorus of Westerly — $1 million
■ The Stadium Theater Conservatory of
Woonsocket — $2.1 million
■ 2nd Story Theater in Warren — $1 million
■ AS220 in Providence — $2.1 million
■ WaterWire Providence — $3.1 million
■ RI State Council on the Arts — $6.8 million
■ State Preservation Grants Program — $5 million
Question 6: Mass Transit Hub Infrastructure Bonds
— $35 million.
The bond aims to better connect mass transit hubs
in the state, especially in Providence. If approved,
Question 6 would fund construction of a new bus
station in Providence near the existing train station.
Approval of the bond would trigger federal matching
funds geared toward improving and increasing mass
transit.
Question 7: Clean water, open space and healthy
communities bonds — $53 million.
The referendum would allow the state to issue
grants to public or non-profit entities throughout
Rhode Island for environmental protection and
recreation. The bond money would be set aside for:
■ Brownfield remediation and economic development — $5 million
■ Flood prevention — $3 million
■ Farmland acquisition — $3 million
■ Local recreation grants — $4 million
■ Roger Williams Park Zoo (improvements and
renovations) — $15 million
■ Roger Williams Park (improvements and renovations) — $3 million
■ Clean Water Finance Agency (municipal wastewater and drinking water improvements) — $20 million

Questions: Buyer beware
A
n engineering school at the state university,
preservation of aging theaters, flood prevention, transit and zoo improvements — Good
things all, perhaps, but at quite a price.
That’s the dilemma facing voters next week as
they are asked to decide among seven state questions, four
of which seek to borrow significant sums.
Buyer beware, recommends the RI Public Expenditure
Council, which took no stand on the spending questions but
urges caution.
Rhode Island ranks tenth in the nation in “taxpayer-supported debt per capita” and is now asked to approve $248
million more borrowing — $365 to $398 million with interest.
To its credit, the state is trying to wean itself of transportation borrowing — the staggering interest burden was the
main reason for trying to toll the Sakonnet River Bridge.
But others have been quick to take transportation’s place
as big borrowers, even as state budget deficits are predicted
to grow to $390 million by 2018.
A few questions are easier on the wallet …
■ Question 3 — Constitutional Convention
State law requires that such a convention be held every 10
years (the last one was 1986) as a way to enable citizens to
push issues that might not survive the General Assembly.
The risk, say critics, is that special interests will highjack
the process. But any amendment that emerges still needs
voter approval, and the state survived the 1986 version without calamity.
The Assembly’s grip on state affairs is mighty tight. Citizens deserve this rare opportunity.
■ Questions 1 and 2: Casino games at Newport Grand
Twenty years ago, a casino in Newport was unthinkable —
the corruption, the bad element, the misery!
But this building is already all about gambling, has been
for decades, first as Jai Alai, now slots. It’s hard to see how
adding table games will change much.
What it may do is save jobs, maybe even add some in the
face of competition at Twin Rivers and, soon, in nearby
Massachusetts.
Rhode Island surrendered the moral high ground on gambling long ago when it became the bookie in the biggest
game around — state-sponsored lotteries.
For the sake of jobs, entertainment and perhaps some revenue on Aquidneck Island, table gaming at Newport Grand
is worth a try.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Every vote really does count
To the editor:
During our busy lives, taking
time to vote sometimes takes a
back seat to the activities and
stresses of our daily routine. Voting for candidates and issues may
not seem important, but every
vote counts.
For example, how many registered voters in Portsmouth realize
that in the last election one candidate for Town Council won by a
single vote? That also means that
one candidate lost by a single
vote. In that election, every single
vote most certainly did count.
You may feel frustrated in the

Democrats support substance abuse education
To the editor:
Local Republicans have been
claiming that the current Democrat-led Town Council and
School Committee have not
done enough to deal with drug
and alcohol issues in Portsmouth
schools. This is just not true.
If not for the current School
Committee working with the
Portsmouth Prevention Coalitions, no one would even know
how bad the problem really is.
They took the steps to support
the Portsmouth Prevention
Coalition in their two studies and
their federal grant application.
They set up a joint subcommittee for drug prevention. With the
Town Council, they worked to
increased funding and support
to the Portsmouth Prevention
Coalition as well as activities like
Purple Week to raise awareness
at the schools.
This Democrat-led School
Committee also provided funding to update the health curricu-
lum at the high school, which
now spends a full 25 percent of
the time on drug prevention.
They funded sending PHS students and faculty to the Olympic
training center at Lake Placid to
learn about the effects of drugs
on your body.
So, who is actually doing
something about the problem?
The answer is clear: the Democrats.

Thanks for making a ‘Taste’ successful
To the editor:
Portsmouth Free Public Library
recently held its 15th annual fundraiser,“The Taste of Portsmouth.”
Nearly 200 people attended the
event which showcased local
restaurants, breweries, wineries
and liquor stores who all donated
specialty items from their businesses. Items were also donated
for the silent auction and the
building was beautifully decorated with floral arrangements
designed by the Portsmouth Gar-
den Club.
The success of this important
fund-raising event for the library
is shared by many, and we’d like to
take a moment now to thank all of
you. From those who bought tickets to the businesses who donated
services and items to the silent
auction to the many volunteers
who helped out during the
evening — we are so thankful for
your generosity.
We especially want to thank all
our vendors who created a fun
evening for all who attended. A
special thanks to Glenn Allen for
continuing his role of auctioneer
and to Dr. Chris Ottiano for
matching the funds donated during the “magic minute.” The money raised during the event will be
used to fund a variety of programs, materials, and services for
library patrons of all ages.
Thank you all so much.

Wastewater, turbine are big next council must tackle
Thanks, Portsmouth Times,
for allowing me to share my
political viewpoints over the last
two months. It was hard to cover
a topic with 200 words, but
here’s another.
The next council still has the
same major issues to tackle as
when I took office in 2012,
wastewater and wind turbine.
The wastewater issue will not be
solved quickly but getting the
Wastewater Management Pro-
gram started would show commitment.
The wind turbine issue may
be closer to solving but trying to
make a decision by Nov. 1, let
alone after seeing a basic proposal and letter of intent four
days prior to the council meeting, was wrong. Fortunately this
did not happen.
I hope I have shown some of
the political issues affecting our
town and that too much is hap-
pening behind the curtain. We
have issues of people taking
care of people, meaning individuals or businesses, not the town
as a whole. If you want someone
that will work honestly, do the
research and come up with
answers
for
a
better
Portsmouth, consider re-electing me.

I’m running for council because I believe in the future
We live in a democratic society, a melting pot of aspirations,
where a consensus is built and
the majority rules. Every two
years on the local municipal level, elections are held and the citizens in their respective communities can voice their opinion
through their vote.
It is a very important, even
sacred, event. Many men and
women have given their lives so
we have the right to vote and
shape our destiny. It is also a
great responsibility and honor
for those that receive election by
the people’s vote to service their
constituents.
I am running for Town Council
because I believe in the future. A
future that benefits all the people. Serving on the Town Council
is an all-encompassing full-time
job. An understanding of issues
and a strong consensus-building
attitude are necessary traits that
I bring to the table and are
essential to the decision-making.
Please vote for Allen Shers for
Portsmouth Town Council on
Nov. 4. I promise to give my best

To thrive, school children need to compete globally
This November I will complete
my first term on the School Committee where I helped to foster a
spirit of non-partisanship, and
accomplished the following: eliminated regionalization of the
schools, promoted Bring-YourOwn-Device for the high school,
and made Portsmouth schools the
first, fully wireless school system
in the state.
We also completed All-Day
Kindergarten; the Turf, Track, and
Tennis Project; the anti-substance
abuse program; sustainable budgets; and better transparency. I
look forward to continuing working on the challenges of the future.
We are losing up to $250,000 in
state aid annually. The temptation
is to pass on this burden to the tax
payers, but this makes it more difficult for some families. We must
find a balance between spending
and maintaining programs to
keep our schools affordable for all.
The growing challenges are
educational as well as budgetary.
Children entering school today
will graduate into a very different
world. To thrive, they must be able
to compete globally. PHS was
awarded commended status, but
we need all of our schools at the
top in every field by developing a
comprehensive K-12 STEAM program.
I ask you to carefully weigh the
issues before us.

I would expand the hours of the town clerk’s office
To the citizens of Portsmouth, on
Nov. 4, I ask for your vote. I believe
that customer service is the top priority for the Town Clerk’s office.
One way that I will improve on
customer service is to extend the
hours in the Clerk’s office. Currently the Town Clerk’s office is opened
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Many of the citizens that I have spoken with have
mentioned that the current hours
are very inconvenient. Prior to my
opponent being appointed interim
Town Clerk in June of 2013, the
office hours for the Town Clerk’s
office were 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, with Saturday morning hours once a
month. The hours should revert
back to the prior hours or stay
open later one night during the
week.
I will provide much more cross
training among the staff; improve
the relations with other town
departments; improve IT capabilities and communication in the
Town Clerk’s Office. All of these
goals will be met in order to provide the best customer service to
our citizens.
Thank you for your consideration.

Need to make sure roads, bridges are maintained
As your state representative, I
want to make certain the new
transportation infrastructure policy is implemented fairly.
My proudest achievement in
my first term was to work closely
with my colleagues in the East Bay
delegation to eliminate the illadvised plan for tolls on the
Sakonnet Bridge.
The toll would have been a
hardship on everyone. We successfully convinced the legislative
leaders to scrap the toll and we
devised an excellent alternative.
Our adopted budget plan
diverts motor vehicle fees from
general revenues to a new Transportation Infrastructure Fund. It
provides more than $50 million
for the RIDOT to target the worst
roads and bridges after being fully-phased in over a period of five
years. The funds will come from
an incremental shift in general
revenue collected from motor
vehicle fees to RIDOT.
I intend to be a watchdog to
make sure these funds are used for
preventative maintenance in
order to avoid the high percentage
of deficient bridges that currently
plague our state.
Removing the toll was a huge
victory. Now we have to make certain our roads and bridges are
properly maintained so future
generations don’t ever have to face
this dilemma again.

I’m working on agenda to jumpstart middle class
I have been proud to serve the
residents of Portsmouth and the
entire First Congressional District.
I’m running for re-election so I
can continue fighting for the
things that matter: getting Rhode
Islanders back to work, reinvigorating American manufacturing,
making college affordable, honoring our veterans, addressing climate change and protecting
Medicare and Social Security.
Working with my colleagues,
I’ve helped to secure $300 million
in federal funds to help create
good-paying jobs, improve public
health and community safety, and
repair our crumbling infrastructure.
Too many Rhode Islanders are
still struggling, which is why I’m
working to advance an agenda to
jumpstart the middle class by raising the minimum wage, rebuilding our infrastructure, and making
sure women receive equal pay for
equal work.
I’m also fighting to defeat proposals that would hurt Rhode
Islanders, like cutting Pell grants
or efforts to strip away environmental protections for clean
water. I fought against the Republican plan to end the guarantee of
Medicare by turning it into a
voucher that would have shifted
more costs onto seniors.
I ask for your vote on Nov. 4 so
that I can continue to fight for
Rhode Island’s priorities in Washington.

Improving our infrastructure will bring jobs to the state
Bringing businesses to Rhode
Island is an important task for anyone elected to public office. One
way we can do that is by lowering
taxes on families and businesses
and cutting the red tape that
makes it so difficult to do anything.
That is where most politicians
end their economic planning,
though, and that is not good for the
state. According to the American
Society of Civil Engineers 2013
report card, 70 percent of Rhode
Island’s roads are in poor or
mediocre condition and 20.6 percent of bridges in the state are
structurally deficient. This breakdown of our state’s infrastructure
impacts our economy and lives in a
huge way.
Businesses will not want to come
here if our aging roads and bridges
cannot support their growth. Bad
roads and bridges are dangerous to
people who travel over them every
year. We need to be proactive in our
approaches to how we deal with
our aging infrastructure or people
could get hurt and businesses will
avoid the state completely.
While lower taxes is something
everyone can get behind, it’s not
the only single solution to our economic problems. Investing in
infrastructure is good for jobs and
the people of Rhode Island.

High-speed internet means more jobs in Rhode Island
As I talk to residents of
Portsmouth, one thing is abundantly clear: high-speed internet
is something everyone agrees is
an important infrastructure need
that needs to be addressed on
Aquidneck Island.
This past session I helped create a special legislative commission to study broadband services
and accessibility, with the goal of
identifying ways to improve
access to high-speed internet.
The expectation is that the
commission will:
1) Identify the current level of
broadband service statewide,
including connection speeds
reasonably needed by all citizens
in years to come.
2) Analyze the policies and
actions necessary to eliminate
obstacles to the investment in
and the identification of areas in
R.I. that currently lack the infrastructure necessary to support
broadband.
3) Explore opportunities for
potential public/private sector
partnerships and evaluate the
various strategies, financing
methods and financial incen-
tives used in other states.
Currently only about 75 percent of Rhode Islanders have
access or use high-speed internet. A national study by the
Brookings Institute estimated
that for every 1-percent increase
in broadband adoption in a state,
employment would increase
between 2 and 3 percent annually. In Rhode Island, such growth
would translate to over 1,000
new jobs per year.

POLICE REPORT
Warren man charged with stealing from relative
Here are some highlights from the
Portsmouth police log from over the
past week.
Monday, Oct. 20
A Bay View Avenue man told police
that someone broke into his garage two
days earlier and stole a Golden Eagle
bow worth about $900 and four
arrows valued at about $100. There
were no signs of a forced entry, police
said.
Saturday, Oct. 25
Saing Somphors, 37, of 9 Brook St.,
Apt. 27, Providence, was charged with
driving while intoxicated (first offense)
and refusal to submit to a chemical test
just after midnight. Police said they
stopped Ms. Somphors’ car on West
Main Road near Turkey Hill because she
made a lane change without using a
turn signal and drifted into the breakdown lane.
Caitlin E. Mullins, 27, of 14 Barker Ave.,
Warren, was charged shortly before 2
a.m. with driving while intoxicated (first
offense) and refusal to submit to a
chemical test, after the vehicle she was
operating hit a street sign on Maggie
Lane off Bristol Ferry Road. Police said
the sign was knocked over and the car
had disabling damage to its right, front
axle.
Sunday, Oct. 26
Justin D. Marsden, 31, of 234 Child St.,
Second Floor, was charged with domestic larceny of under $1,500 and forgery
and counterfeiting, both felonies. The
charges stem from an incident on May
1, 2014, when a woman related to Mr.
Marsden told police there were a number of unauthorized deductions from
her bank account at People’s Credit
Union. They included more than $3,100
deducted from her checking account,
plus an additional $323 in overdraft
fees. She recognized Mr. Marsden’s
handwriting on the cashed checks,
according to police. A warrant was
issued for Mr. Marsden’s arrest and on
Oct. 26 he was picked up by Middletown police. Portsmouth police took
custody of him shortly after 1 p.m.
Police responded to Melville Campgrounds shortly before 10 a.m. after
receiving a complaint from the town’s
Department of Public Works regarding
illegal dumping there. Police observed a
pile of trash which included old couches
and two propane tanks. There were no
identifying marks on any of the discarded trash, police said. DPW had also
reported illegal dumping two days earlier at the campground. According to
Deputy Director Brian Woodhead,
someone had dumped five old tires and
two broken television sets into the
ditch next to where the department
stores its wood chippings. Mr. Woodhead also said that the pole holding the
“mutt mitt” dispenser had been
knocked over, and the dispenser was
dented and would have to be replaced.
A 21-year-old Chepachet man told
police that one of his credit cards had
been stolen from his vehicle, parked on
Annette Drive, sometime overnight. The
man said his cell phone, which he
believed he had left in the home’s
kitchen, was also missing.
The turbine was
inspected in May
2014 to help the
town decide
whether it should
be repaired or
taken down.
Meeting on special ed
decision Nov. 3
District recently withdrew
from regional program
You can learn more about the Portsmouth school district’s
recent decision to withdraw from the Newport County Regional
Special Education Program at an informational meeting next
week.
The School Committee recently voted to withdraw from the
program, effective at the end of the 2014-2015 school year.
To answer any questions people may have about the decision,
the Newport County Regional Special Education Local Advisory
Committee has scheduled a meeting for 6:30 p.m. on Monday,
Nov. 3, in the library at Portsmouth Middle School library, 125
Jepson Lane.
“The School Department will be working closely with the
Region to develop a careful and systematic transition for all students, families and staff that will be affected by this decision,”
according to a letter from the advisory committee.
The action by the Portsmouth School Committee was taken
after members heard from Futures Education, the firm selected
to do a comprehensive review of special education delivery and
costs.
Superintendent of Schools Ana C. Riley and committee members highlighted learning gaps and the ability to be more
accountable to student and parents in their decision to leave
the region. They also believe they can save money long-term by
bringing the programs in-house.
The committee's action ends the collaboration between communities that dates back to 1965 and codified into law in 1979.
On Tuesday night, the School Committee voted unanimously
to create a new position — director of pupil support services —
to oversee its special ed program. The district will now advertise
the position, which will pay an annual salary of $110,000 to
$120,000.
The advisory committee’s mission is to serve parents and
guardians of special needs children, and those children themselves, from the towns of Portsmouth, Tiverton, Little Compton
and Middletown.

TURBINE: Final vote expected Nov. 6
From Page 1
said Mr. Lathrop. “What happens
if the turbine fails? It’s not ours,”
he said, adding that WED would
have to repair the turbine and
return it to service at no cost to the
town.
WED’s annual payment’s were
originally going to be $287,714,
but on Monday Town Administrator John Klimm announced that
the firm has offered an up-front
payment of $900,000. That will
also reduce the town’s financial
risk should WED go out of business early on during the lease.
“(WED) has been very responsive to our concerns,” Mr. Klimm
said. “We don’t have to worry
about the second or third year.”
The administrator also said
while the deal isn’t perfect, it’s
the best course of action available to the town. “It’s either this
option, or it’s decommission,” he
said.
The agreement also calls for the
town to purchase from the turbine
a minimum of 3.8 million kW/hr
of energy per year. Since that fig-
ure is too high for the town to
achieve by itself, Mr. Klimm met
with members of the School Committee last week to bring the
school district on board.
Several members of the School
Committee were in attendance
Monday and spoke favorably of
entering the joint electric purchase. However, on a request from
school board member David
Croston, the council’s vote included a caveat that the town pay the
difference to the school district if
electric rates fall below the minimum of 15.5 cents per kilowatt
hour as WED requires.
“We’re not in the windmill business. We’re in the business of educating our children,” said Mr.
Croston.
The School Committee further
discussed the matter at its meeting Tuesday night and is expected
to take a full vote on Nov. 5, the
day before the council’s meeting
to formally approve the agreement with WED.
25-year pact questioned
One concern several council
members had was the length of
the lease agreement with WED.
“Twenty-five years is an
extremely long time. Looking
around the audience, most of us
won’t be here,” said council member Keith Hamilton.
Mr. Hamilton proposed an initial 10-year lease, with options to
renew for another 10 years and
then five years.
Larry Fitzmorris of the taxpayer
group Portsmouth Concerned
Citizens also questioned the 25year agreement, saying predicting
the energy market over that period of time is risky.
However, the attorney for WED,
Stephen Brusini, said the firm
cannot secure any financial backing without the 25-year lease.
“That’s
what
the
market
demands,” he said.
Resident Doug Smith praised
the efforts of town leaders over the
past two years in finding a resolution to the turbine issue.
Council members also complemented the hard work by Town
Planner Gary Crosby, Mr. Klimm
and Mr. Lathrop in bringing the
agreement to fruition. At one
point, Council Vice President John
Blaess called Mr. Crosby “the
town’s MVP.”

Marines killed in 1983 Beirut blast honored
Annual memorial
ceremony held at
Portsmouth
Historical Society
BY JIM MCGAW
[email protected]
“The Rhode Island Nine” who
made the ultimate sacrifice when
their Beirut barracks were bombed
by terrorists 31 years ago were honored in a memorial ceremony last
week on the anniversary date of the
attack.
In all, 241 Americans were killed
in the attack on Oct. 23, 1983. The
annual ceremony to honor their
memory was held at the
Portsmouth Historical Society,
where friends and loved ones gathered in the upstairs chapel before a
memorial wreath was laid outside.
The guest speaker was Lt. Col.
Matt Palma, USMC, a faculty
member at the Naval War College
in Newport. Born and raised in
Bristol, his family now lives in
Portsmouth.
“For the Corps, this incident
marked the most deadly attack
against U.S. Marines since the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945. Notably, of
the 50 states, no other state suf-

fered more casualties in that attack
than Rhode Island,” said Lt. Col.
Palma.

included two brothers-in-law:
Cpl. Stephen E. Spencer, 23, of
Portsmouth; and Lance Cpl.
James F. Silvia, 20, of Middletown.
Also killed were PFC Thomas

and Sgt. Timothy Giblin, Cpl.
David C. Massa, Cpl. Thomas A.
Shipp, Cpl. Rick R. Crudale and
Cpl. Edward S. Iacovino Jr.
At 5 a.m. on Oct. 23, 1983, he
said, Lance Cpl. Eddie DiFranco
was manning his post when he
“observed a truck drive into the
parking lot, circle around and leave
— reconnaissance.” About an
hour later at a different post,
another Marine saw a driver in a
white Mercedes take a photograph
of the barracks before leaving.
“About five minutes later, the
infamous yellow Mercedes stakebed truck entered the parking lot,”
said Lt. Col. Palma. It accelerated,
crashed through barbwire, drove
through an open gate, plowed
through a guard shack before
smashing into the lobby of the barracks for the 1st Battalion 8th
Marines. There, the driver detonated the suicide bomb.
“That bomb, it was later determined by FBI forensics, was equivalent to about 12,000 pounds of
T.N.T. Reportedly, it was the largest
non-nuclear blast to date,” he said.
Two hundred and forty-one
Americans were killed, including
“220 Marines, 18 sailors and three
soldiers,” he said, adding that
across town, a second suicide
attack killed 56 French soldiers.
The bombing was traced back to
Hezbollah, a militant and political
group that originated in Lebanon
in 1982.
“In short, our Marines who were
serving in Beirut,” said Lt. Col. Palma, “in my opinion were some of
the first casualties of a conflict that
has now become a common
household name: the global war on
terror.”
Taking comfort
Lt. Col. Palma said family members and friends of those who died
in the Beirut bombing should take
comfort and satisfaction in the
knowledge that “the Rhode Island
Nine did not die in vain.” The U.S.
Marine Corps, he said, has used the
Beirut bombings as an educational
tool to “enforce protection and
operational intelligence in rules of
engagement.”
He closed his speech by sharing
the story of two young Marines —
Cpl. Jonathan Yale and Lance Cpl.
Jordan Haerter — who were
posthumously awarded the Navy
Cross for their actions on April 22,
2008 while guarding their outpost's
entry control point in Ramadi, Iraq,
with 50 Marines and 100 Iraqi
police officers inside.
Shorly after assuming their
posts, a dump truck filled with
2,000 pounds of explosives raced
toward their checkpoint. Both
stood their ground and defended
their checkpoint before the truck
exploded, killing Haerter instantly
and leaving Yale mortally wounded.
Lt. Col. Palma quoted an Iraqi
police officer, who stated in an
interview that “Marines aren’t normal … No sane man would have
stood there and done what they
did. They saved all of us.”
According to a 2010 account given by Marine Lt. Gen. John Kelly,
who had lost his own son in combat only four days earlier, Yale and
Haerter didn’t budge in the face of
death. “They leaned into the danger, firing as fast as they could work
their weapons. They had only one
second left to live,” Lt. Gen. Kelly
said.
“Your Marines were cut from the
very same cloth that is common to
all Marines,” said Lt. Col. Palma. “I
hope that you find the courage, the
families of the Rhode Island Nine,
to face this day of remembrance
with fond memories of your
Marines, seeking solace in the fact
that we don’t run from danger —
we lean into it.”
After his speech, Marine Gunnary Sgt. Derrick Wise, the narrator
for the ceremony, led a roll call in
which family members of the
deceased placed carnations in a
memorial wreath that was later
placed outside. The U.S. Navy
Band Northeast played “Taps” as
well as the “Marines’ Hymn.”
Gov. Lincoln Chafee and Congressman David Cicilline also
made remarks at the ceremony.

Sewers nixed in town’s pact with DEM
Some warn that state

BY JIM MCGAW

The state’s longtime threat to
force the town to install costly
sewers servicing Island Park and
Portsmouth Park has been
removed under a memorandum
of agreement (MOA) that was
accepted by the Town Council in a
4-2 vote Monday night.
“I think this is a point of time in
Portsmouth history when we can
finally move forward for our citizens in Island Park and
Portsmouth Park,” said council
member Keith Hamilton.
Under the MOA, the town would
take steps to fulfill the R.I. Department of Environmental Management’s (RIDEM) requirements to
prevent pollution of local waters
through inspection of individual
septic systems and other means.
However, some residents as well
as the two councilors who voted
against accepting the MOA, Elizabeth Pedro and David Gleason,
said they were skeptical that the
state’s original notice of violation to
the town (NOV) will no longer be
dangling over their heads.
“I wish I had 100 percent faith in
this document that I’m voting on
tonight, but I don’t,” said Mr. Gleason.
Town Planner Gary Crosby
started the meeting off with an
overview of the dispute between
RIDEM and the town regarding
the wastewater issues. RIDEM first
issued the NOV to the town in
September 2010. It alleged violations of the R.I. Water Pollution
Act and RIDEM’s water quality
regulations.
The town was ordered to install
a sewer system and wastewater
treatment facility to service Island
Park and Portsmouth Park, and to
complete a wastewater management plan. In addition, the town
was fined $186,000.
The town contested the NOV
while revising a wastewater management plan, a draft of which
was sent to RIDEM in April 2013.
In March 2014, RIDEM Director
Janet Coit offered to begin talks
with the Town Council, and several meetings were held before the
town sent a revised draft of the
wastewater management plan to
the state in July. “She was concerned it was taking too much
time and she was interested in settling it,” Mr. Crosby told the council.
The results of the discussions
between the town and RIDEM led
to the MOA, he said. “In a nutshell
RIDEM agrees to a long-term stay
to the adjudicatory proceedings
associated with the town’s appeal
of the NOV in exchange for final
revisions of the Onsite Wastewater
Management Plan and Wastewater Management District Ordinance to include the agreed upon
provisions outlines in the MOA,”
Until a memorandum of agreement was reached with the Town of Portsmouth, the state had ordered a costly
sewer treatment system serving Portsmouth Park (pictured) and Island Park.
Mr. Crosby wrote in an Oct. 23 letter to the council.
According to the agreement, the
town must submit to RIDEM by
Jan. 1, 2015 a Wastewater Management Ordinance and an Onsite
Wastewater Management Plan
incorporating the following
requirements:
■ Inspections of all cesspools
and onsite wastewater treatment
systems (OWTS) in Island Park
and Portsmouth Park must be
made by Jan. 1, 2017, and all other
cesspools
and
OWTS
in
Portsmouth by 2022.
■ The inspections will be used
to document and evaluate the
town’s compliance with RIDEM
standards for wastewater,
■ Failed cesspools and/or unpermitted systems within 50 feet
of a town or state storm drain
would have to be replaced immediately. Other systems would face
different deadlines for compliance.
Manager must be hired
Also under the memorandum,
the town must hire a “wastewater
manager” within six months of the
execution of the agreement.
The town has already submitted
drafts of its wastewater plan and
ordinance and is awaiting a formal response from RIDEM.
If the town’s wastewater management plan and ordinance is
approved by RIDEM, Portsmouth
homeowners would be eligible to
participate in the state’s Community Septic System Loan Program.
The program offers loans for septic repairs and upgrades at 2 percent interest, compared to the
town’s own program which offers
loans at 5 percent interest.
As for the $186,000 fine, that has
been set side under the MOA, Mr.
Crosby said. “The penalty that we
were assessed at $186,000, we get
to apply to the implementation (of
this plan),” he said. “It could go
into funding the loan program.”
Residents express skepticism
Several residents took issue with
the language in the MOA, saying it
doesn’t appear to offer the town
any protection going forward. In
fact, some said RIDEM could
change their mind and re-enforce
the NOV — and sewers — down
the road.
“As I read this document, it preserves the NOV. The NOV still
hangs over our head,” said Larry
Fitzmorris of the taxpayer group
Portsmouth Concerned Citizens.
In addition, he said, RIDEM is
falsely alleging three violations of
the Clean Water Act, when only
one — a charge that storm drains
in Portsmouth Park were leaking
out into the bay — is accurate.
The MOA “has the town in an
inferior position,” said Mr. Fitzmorris, adding that he’s not con-
vinced the state won’t turn around
and implement further costly
requirements in the future. “This
is a very, very highly contentious
issue. DEM has attempted to force
sewers on us on several occasions.
Suddenly we’re going to trust DEM
to do the right thing?” said Mr.
Fitzmorris, who took issue with
several other sections of the MOA
and urged the council not to sign
the document.
Several other residents agreed
with Mr. Fitzmorris. “There’s no
pollution there. This whole thing
is based on their whims, I guess,”
said Judi Staven.
Mr. Gleason said he sympathized with residents who spoke
out against the MOA. “I didn’t hear
any bad questions from the podium tonight. Unfortunately those
people didn’t get any good
answers from us,” he said.
“(RIDEM is) holding all the cards
here. I understand it’s their job to
enforce the Clean Water Act, but I
think there are some gray areas
here.”
Ms. Pedro said she wanted to
vote for the MOA, but there were
too many unanswered questions.
“It doesn’t resolve the NOV; it just
postpones it,” said Ms. Pedro, who
expressed frustration with her
inability to hear from the town’s
environmental attorney, Gerald
Petros, who was not present at
Monday’s meeting.
Town Administrator John
Klimm said the council voted 5-0
with one abstention in an Oct. 20
executive session to accept the
proposed agreement with RIDEM
and direct Mr. Petros to negotiate
the language of the MOA on the
town’s behalf.
‘Moves us forward’
Other council members, however, said the MOA was the town’s
best available course of action.
“It’s time to get off the dime. Our
lawyer says it’s a very reasonable
settlement for the town after
many years of dispute,” said
Council Vice President John
Blaess. “Is it a perfect agreement?
No, but it moves us forward.”
Mr. Hamilton noted that a section of the MOA makes it clear that
by complying with the agreement,
the town doesn’t waive its rights to
appeal the NOV, nor does it constitute an admission of liability.

The Portsmouth High School
varsity football team hopes to
shake off a tough loss against La
Salle Academy Friday when it
faces Barrington in an important
Division 1 road game Halloween
night.
Kickoff is at 8 p.m. on Friday,
Oct. 31 at Barrington High
School.
The Patriots had a 12-point lead
on the Rams in the second quarter, but La Salle ruined Senior
Night for Portsmouth when it
stormed back for a 30-21 victory.
It was the first loss for the Patri-
ots on their new turf field, dropping their division record to 4-2,
while the Rams remained unbeaten at 5-0.
Portsmouth took advantage of
mistakes by the Rams to go ahead
21-9 with just over a minute left in
the first half.
But La Salle’s C.J. Waite then
returned the ensuing kickoff 58
yards, and a pass interference call
on Portsmouth put the ball at their
own 17-yard line. Waite took the
ball and scampered into the end
zone, and a two-point conversion
cut the lead to 21-17 at the break.
Waite would later run 90 yards
into the end zone in the fourth
quarter, putting the game away.

PHS girls take Division 1 East soccer title
First playoff game
tentatively set for
Saturday at home
BY JIM MCGAW
[email protected]
Now it’s on to the playoffs.
The Portsmouth High School
varsity girls’ soccer team has
earned its highest playoff seed
ever in Division 1.
The Patriots finished the regular
season atop Division 1 East at 104. That gave them the No. 2 seed
behind top-seeded and Division 1
North champs La Salle Academy,
which finished at 11-1.
According to head coach Jim
Blaess, Portsmouth has a firstround bye and is tentatively
scheduled to host its first playoff
match at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1.
The Patriots’ first playoff opponent won’t be determined until
Thursday, Oct. 30. Barrington

10th seed, with the winner going

The winner of that match then

Whichever

Portsmouth High School
debuted its varsity girls’ volleyball program last year and didn’t
scare anyone. The young team
finished the season with a 2-12
record in Division III-South.
This year? Different story
altogether.
The team wrapped up its regular season Monday by rolling
over rival Middletown High
School in three straight games:
25-19, 25-17 and 25-19. Both
teams came in at 11-4, so the
win gave the Patriots the division title and the No. 1 seed in
the playoffs.
Portsmouth started the season slow, losing an injury fund
matchup against Middletown
and and its first regular season
game against St. Raphael Academy, both by shutout.
But the team showed resilien-

cy and beat Middletown in a
five-game match in week six.
The Patriots ended their regular
season 12-4 in the division.
Monday’s win also took place
at home on Senior Night,
although team member Courtney Ward is the only senior on
the team.
“I think the girls are ready,” he
said. “They really worked hard
over the season. To be a No. 2 seed
takes a lot of work. We have home
field. Our chances are good and I
think we match up well against
some good teams in the final
round and we continue to press
forward.”
Portsmouth wrapped up the
regular season with a scoreless tie
Monday against Barrington.
“We created lots of scoring
opportunities,” said Mr. Blaess.
‘We took a lot of shots and we had
10 corner kicks, but we couldn’t
convert. I think we were a little
tired yesterday. We had a long
weekend and we hosted a JV tournament and a lot of the girls were
there.”
But the Patriots will be well-rested for Saturday’s game.
“We’re excited and ready to start
the second season,” said Mr.
Blaess.

farewell to a beloved pet
T
here’s little doubt pets are
very important family
members. It’s not surprising then that when a beloved
pet passes away, the loss is
keenly felt. Faithful Friends
Crematory on Schoolhouse Road
in Warren understands the distressing situation those who
have lost a pet are in. It is one
of very few pet crematories that
operate in the region and provides a compassionate setting
for pet farewells, cremations, as
well as complete services to help
a family handle the loss.

Halloween
PHOTO COURTESY OF ROGER WILLIAMS PARK ZOO
“The Laughing Tree,” the magical final scene in this year’s Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular, features hundreds of special effects-enhanced jack o’lanterns—some carved from huge pumpkins.
There’s still time to catch the acclaimed Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular
at Roger Williams Park Zoo, through Sunday, November 2
BY CHRIST Y NADALIN
N
[email protected]
ow in its 14th year at
the Roger Williams
Park Zoo, the Jack-OLantern Spectacular is
one of those quintessential
why-didn’tthey-have-this-whenI-was-a-kid events that has quickly and
firmly established itself as as much of a classic Rhode Island tradition as the talking
Christmas tree at the Outlet was to another
generation of children — though hopefully
more enduring.
The Spectacular was developed by John
Reckner, a one-time art student and nowretired mail carrier (“I didn’t want to
starve.”) After seeing a hillside display of
jack o’lanterns up in Vermont nearly 3
decades ago, Reckner launched a 300
pumpkin display that drew 1,000 visitors.
“I thought it would become passé after a
few years,” he said. “But it just keeps getting
bigger.” This year, there are over 5,000
pumpkins on display over a quarter-mile
trail. Last year, the Spectacular welcomed
some 130,000 spectators.
The Providence Journal ran an article
about the Oxford display in 2000, and it
caught the eye of city tourism officials who
wooed Reckner south.
The event planning begins in the spring,
and by September, Passion for Pumpkins,
as Reckner and team are officially incorporated, employs nearly 20 artists to create the
featured jack o’lanterns, and “a small army”
of carvers who create the ones that popu-
late the background. Many return year after
year, taking a month’s leave of absence from
their day jobs.
And 5,000 is only the number that are on
display at any given time. Pumpkins rot —
weekly. By the end of the month-long event,
some 20,000 pumpkins have been hollowed
and carved.
Anyone who has ever watched the demise
of a jack o’lantern knows that it doesn’t take
long. Reckner finds the best way to extend
the life of the jack-o’lanterns is to thoroughly
dry fresh-carved pumpkins with industrial
fans. This creates a dry layer and helps keep
the fruit flies, which speed the pumpkins’
decay, at bay. He hopes to equip each pumpkin with a mini fan for next year, which
should take care of the fly problem for good.

Works of late local artist on the block for jazz
This weekend, come to the RI
Philharmonic School, enjoy a
glass of champagne, have a nibble, and listen to some live jazz
while you peruse over fifty beautiful works of art by Rhode Island
artist Kathryn Johnson, who died
last year at the age of 94.
Johnson, the youngest of five
children of Armenian immigrants from Turkey, spent most of
her life in Rhode Island working
from studios on the East Side of
Providence. She exhibited in
Rhode Island (solo) and in group
exhibitions throughout Rhode
Island and Massachusetts, and
worked in many mediums,
including stained glass, oils,
printmaking, collages, chalks, oil
crayons, and silk screen. Her
stained glass works are found in
private collections as well as a
memorial window in the Chapel
of St. John in Providence.
An abstract expressionist,
Johnson’s earliest works were
often black and white oils, progressing to color in her later
years. Nature and skylines were
frequent themes, and her plant
monotypes have been described
as “simple elegance.”
Johnson left behind a remarkable collection of some 300
works, many of which have not
been seen by even close friends
and family.
All proceeds will go to the
Kathryn Johnson Jazz Scholarship Fund for students of the
Rhode Island Philharmonic
Music School. Students from the
jazz program that is supported
by the scholarship fund will be
providing the entertainment.

STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE
F
Get off the bench and vote
or people who work in
and around politics, a
general election is like
jamming four World Series into
thirteen hours but only finding
out whether you
scored any runs
after the game is
over. It’s a long
day at the end of
a long campaign
and can turn
into a long night
if things aren’t
Cara
CROMWELL going your way.
Losing brings a
lot of regret and “what ifs” but
nothing is more infuriating than
hearing someone complain about
government and then admitting
that they do not vote.
Voting is not hard. Polls open
early (most at 7 a.m.) and all close
at 8 p.m. Chances are good that
your polling place is in your
neighborhood or very close by. If
you can’t get to the polls during
that time, no excuse absentee
ballots can be cast ahead of time.
If you have a last minute change
of plans that takes you out of
town, go to the Town Clerk and
you can cast an emergency
absentee ballot. Our local election officials are accommodating.
I certainly understand that
many people are not interested in
politics and are truly turned off
by the process, but we all have a
stake in how we are governed.
From the policies that guide our
school systems to the money we
ask the state to invest on our
behalf, elections matter and have
an impact on all our lives. We are
lucky to live in a place where we
can participate in the process. For
anyone who says “my vote doesn’t
matter,” there are plenty of races
in recent Rhode Island elections
that were decided by the tiniest of
margins. In fact, one state representative race in 2012 was decided by just one vote. Ask Carlos
Tobon if one vote matters — he
knows that it does.
This year turnout will be especially important. While turnout
surges when the office of president is on the ballot, the midterm
elections for Rhode Island’s general officers frequently see a precipitous drop in turnout. In 2010
— when Governor Chafee was
elected — less than 47 percent of
eligible Rhode Islanders chose to
vote. Since he won with about 36
percent of the vote, that low
turnout gave him a victory with
the votes from only 17 percent of
Rhode Island’s eligible voters.
With such low numbers from the
voters and no party to draw support from, it’s not a surprise that
he was a lame duck from day one.
Our state cannot afford another
four years of a governor without
the public support to move our
state forward. We have been the
butt of jokes for far too long and
have to find a way to be competitive and prosperous again.
So consider this column your
first annoying robocall of the season. I am not plugging a candidate or an issue — I am simply
asking you to take a few minutes
and participate. It’s time to get off
the bench and vote.

Reckner admits it is tough coming up with the themes year after
year, and marrying the music and
lighting to the theme. One of his
favorite years was 2012, when an
Oscar theme, coupled with a
sound system upgrade, made for a
memorable show. That was also
the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, and the centerpiece of the show was an 1,800
pound pumpkin carved with an
image of the ill-fated ship, placed
on pallets out on the water (the
trail is part of a natural marsh
exhibit the other 11 months of the
year.)
Reckner, who is on site every
night, still enjoys the result of all
his hard work, even after all these
years. “It looks okay during the
day, though you can see cords and
other things in the background,”
he says. “But it’s after dark, when
it’s illuminated, and the music is
playing, it is an altogether different show.”
Spectacular, indeed.

Alvimedica — delivered from the doldrums
eam Alvimedica finally
burst free of the doldrums
last week after a steamy
ordeal of drifting, downpours and
squalls, and set
off on a trade
wind drag race
around the turning point off
South America
and on toward
South Africa.
Charting a path
Bruce
through
the dolBURDETT
drums is something of a crap shoot, one that cost
much of the Volvo Ocean Race
fleet dearly.
Alvimedica, skippered by Bristol’s Charlie Enright, went into the
dead zone within sight of the lead
in a tacking duel that seemed
more like a Wednesday evening
club series than a race around the
world.
But Alvimedica, having ridden a
middle of the road route, emerged
from the doldrums’ grip a good
200 miles behind those that had
tracked further west. By Monday
they’d lopped about 70 miles off
that deficit as the fleet searched
for the best route around the light
air of the South Atlantic’s St. Helena High.
Still, they found positives from
the frustration and noted that this
remains anyone’s race.
“I’m feeling pretty good,”
Enright said Thursday as the boat
pushed 20 knots. “I took a shower,
it’s been the only normal part of
this morning … You know what?
It’s not all bad out there.” Even
better now that they, “won’t see
this little patch of the planet again
until Leg 6, when (we) sail north
from Itajaí to Newport.”

after days of wanting out of the
doldrums, days of struggling with
routines, with sleep, with a lack of
regularity and consistency to our
schedules, and of course—predictability to the weather—we’re
‘out’ and still trying to find it!
“It was an abrupt change to the
sailing, so abrupt that it maybe
caught some of us off guard.
Almost immediately we went
from an agreeable 11 knots of
upwind sailing to a very confused
and uncomfortable 18 knots.
Since waving goodbye to the big
clouds and tormenting lulls we’ve
pretty much been bashing
upwind with one reef in the main
and 30 degrees of heel. It feels a bit
like learning to walk again—moving around a boat that’s always on
it’s side—especially inside where
Tarzan-like swings from handle to
handle are required before finding
some firm footing to stand on.”

NO FLUKE
Despite increase in spawning stock, conservative bass regulations likely
S
triped bass is in the news
again this week. Private
recreational anglers, forhire charter captains and commercial fishermen all say striped
bass are a highly
valued fishery in
Rhode Island.
Last week the
Maryland
Department of
Natural
Resources
(DNR)
announced that
Capt. Dave
the 2014 juvenile
MONTI
index, which
measures striped bass spawning
success in Chesapeake Ba,y is
11.0, nearly equal to the 61-year
average which is a big improvement from recent years. “These
findings reinforce that, although
the coastal striped bass population has recently decreased from
historically high levels, the
spawning stock in the Chesapeake Bay is capable of producing healthy year-classes…(however) We will continue to work
with our partners along the
Atlantic Coast to conservatively
manage the striped bass popula-
tion.” said DNR Fisheries Service
Director Tom O’Connell.
Striped bass from the Chesapeake Bay area migrate north to
Rhode Island and as far as Maine
so the health of the spawning
stock in the Chesapeake is important to Rhode Island anglers as
well. Because the spawning stock
of striped bass has been on a
decline over the past few years,
the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) that
regulates striped bass on a
regional basis for Rhode Island
and other coastal states, discussed new regulations at their
annual meeting in Mystic this
week. At press time, regulations
in Addendum IV to Amendment
6 of the Striped Bass Fishery
Management Plan were still being
discussed by the Atlantic Striped
Bass Management Board.
Where’s the bite
“Striped bass fishing from
shore at Pt. Judith to Watch Hill
has been very good. That’s where
most of the larger fish are being
caught with 40” fish taken from
the Charlestown Breachway Friday night,” said Elisa Martin of
Snug Harbor Marina, South

Vote yes to a Constitutional Convention
“C
reating jobs” seems
to be the catch-all
phrase during this
election as candidates vie for
statewide and local office. Imagine for a moment, though, that
you are an outsider potentially
looking for a
place to plant
your firm or
manufacturing
facility. When
you look at
Rhode Island,
what would be
the first thing
Arlene
that you would
VIOLET
associate with
this state? Certainly, it would not
be the hoped-for designation as
the Ocean State. Chances are
you’d think corruption or the
worst place to do business
according to all national measures, or the give-away state
because of burgeoning welfare
programs. Needless to say that
the defenders of the latter designations — who make their living
keeping Rhode island hostage to
their gravy train — want to stop a
Constitutional Convention by
scare tactics. The folks who want
to spearhead real reform in order
to get back on the right track all
support a Constitutional Convention. I am one of them, and I will
vote “Yes” on Question 3 in next
week’s election.
I hope that you will also support ‘Yes” on Question 3. You will
have a chance to buck the trend
of this state’s demise. Necessary
reforms that the Constitutional
Convention members (who
would be elected by you) include
ethics reform to bring the General Assembly members under the
purview of the state’s ethics code,
the establishment of a line item
veto for the Governor, term limits,
and the tightening of bond practices to avoid another 38 Studios
debacle. Redistricting needs to be
done in a fair and equitable manner, rather than the quasi-gerrymandering process it is now,
which creates an insurance policy
for reelection of incumbents.
There is a vocal opposition
group with lots of money who are
trying to poison the well with
scare tactics and misinformation.
Their ranks include labor unions
and social welfare minions who
are wedded to the status quo and
their one-sided influence on the
actions of their pals in the General Assembly. If you think that

government is working for all
then you belong on their team. If
you know that you are no better
off after years of the General
Assembly being the only show in
town to protect your rights than
you are a ‘Yes” for the Constitutional Convention.
Here’s the process. On November 4the voters approve or reject
this Constitutional Convention
which comes up every 10 years
for approval (1986 was the last
one). If approved there will be a
special election to select 75 delegates from across the state. These
elected delegates will hold the
Convention, debate and propose
any changes to the Constitution,
and these proposals are then put
back on a ballot for your approval
or rejection. YOU are the last
word on what changes are to be
made, if any.
When you really analyze the
objections of the special interests,
in effect, they are saying that you
cannot be trusted to do the right
thing and vote in the public interest. These objectors believe only
their General Assembly supporters are capable of that. You, they
think, are too stupid to do that.
Please prove them wrong. Vote
“Yes” on Question 3 in support of
the Constitutional Convention. In
the process, let outside businesses know that you control your
own fate by this checks-and-balances measure.
Scouts to hold annual
‘Scouting for Food’ drive
Thousands of Scouts from
across the region dropped off
door hangers this past weekend
asking their communities to
donate nutritious, non-perishable food items to this year’s
Scouting for Food drive. Scouts
will be collecting donations this
Saturday, Nov. 1 beginning at 9
a.m. and ask that all food items
be placed in a bag and left in an
accessible area for pickup.
Donations will be sent to the
Rhode Island Community Food
Bank to help families in need.
Since the first Scouting for
Food drive in 1988, Scouts from
the Narragansett Council have
collected more than 8.5 million
pounds of food for Rhode Island
and its surrounding communities. Last year alone, more than
231,000 pounds of food were collected and delivered to the
Rhode Island Community Food
Bank and other local food
pantries. For more information

PET CONFIDENTIAL
With dogs, you don’t need to go designer
Dear Dr. Evans,
I have just seen my first
Morkie and, dear God, is she
cute! She’s been examined by a
vet and has had her first shots,
and the breeder’s premises seem
clean and appropriate. The
problem I’m having is that I
could get a pure-bred Yorkie or a
Maltese for considerably less
money. My family thinks I’d be
nuts to pay so much more money for a mutt. I sort of
agree….but she is seriously cute.
What do you think?
—Would She Be Cheaper If We
Called Her a Yorktese?
Dear Yorktese,
Now, see, it’s all in the perspective. If you think of these
hybrids as “mutts,” you’d be
foolish to pay twice the price.
But if you think of her as a
“designer dog,” she’s a bargain,
right?
Actually, from a strictly personal point of view, if there
weren’t designer dogs, you’d
have to invent them just for the
joy of their names. Chiweenies,
anyone? Sure, we’ve all heard of
Schnoodles and Cockapoos —
there are two Cockapoos in my
family, both bright, cheery, cute,
and not too expensive. But a
recent trend has brought an
explosion of purebred crosses
that cost a lot of money and may
or may not offer you the best
qualities of each breed. But oh,
the names! Would you be interested in a beabull (just saw one
last week--absolutely adorable,
in a punk-kid sort of way)? A
Gollie (I’d hate to have to brush
it)? Would a Pug x Yorkie mix be
a Porkie? A Dachshund x Yorkie
a Dorkie?
Designer dogs were developed
with a higher purpose in mind.
The original Labradoodle was
bred to produce a seeing-eye
dog with a hypoallergenic coat.
The craze has exploded; check
out this year’s Time Magazine’s
“Answers Issue” for a hilarious
chart on hybrid dogs. While
breeding for the best qualities of
each dog is a laudable goal, it’s a
very inexact science. Goldendoodles, for example, are bred in
hopes of getting a dog with the
friendly, gentle temperament of
the Golden and the coat and
steady intelligence of the Poodle. I’ve hardly ever met one I
didn’t love, but breeding for personality is tricky Short-nosed
dogs are crossbred in an attempt
to mitigate the respiratory consequences of having a pushed-in
face, but imagine winding up
with the nose of a Pug and the
excitability of the Chihuahua.
Not a pretty sight.
Another problem with designer dogs is that puppy mills have
seized on the public’s fascination with these Frankendogs and
churn out the most outlandish
mixes day in day out. I’m eagerly
awaiting a ChiDane — you
could get rich selling tickets to
the mating. I’m glad to hear that
your Morkie comes from a
breeder rather than a high-volume pet store. That’s always a
wise choice if you have a strong
breed preference (so is adopting
through a breed rescue, by the
way).
As to the money aspect, only
you can decide if your little girl
is worth the hybrid surcharge.
Morkies are intended as the ultimate lapdogs — but there are a
lot of dogs at the pound who
would love to sit in your lap.
Those bright eyes are hard to
resist, but they’re not the only
bright eyes in the world. So if
you’ve fallen in love with a particular pup, she’s worth every
dime. If you’re just looking to
add some cuteness to your life,
well, look no further than the
local SPCA, Providence Animal
Rescue League, or Potter League,
where they have buckets of cute
at a very reasonable price.

Barrington Veterinary Clinic has

medicine for 26 years. Do you

Evans? Please email

Meet Timmy
Hi, my name is Timmy and I am a gray male cat, up to date on all
my shots, and neutered. The people here at the Warren Animal
Shelter think I am between the age of 1 and 2 but they are not
really sure as I was picked up as a stray. I am not very vocal, but
I am very lovable and I like to lay around and be cuddled. If you
think you would like to add me to your family, call 401/245-4569.

DOWN TO EARTH
No matter how much you know,
there’s always more to learn
I
have been fascinated by
plants and the way they
grow ever since, as a sophomore in college, I almost killed
one. After reviving that poor ficus,
I went on to grow, propagate,
enjoy, write
about, and kill a
lot more plants.
I thought I knew
them — at least
the ones I have
gardened with at
home and at
Kristin
work — like my
GREEN
own skin. But
just as your BFF
can still surprise you with spoton insights and wacky opinions, I
learned a couple of weeks ago,
when British plantsman, Noel
Kingsbury led a ground-level tour
of Blithewold’s gardens, that I still
have a lot to learn.
You might not recognize his
name but in Britain, where gardening is part of the culture and
it seems like everyone, with the
possible exception of the Dowager Countess of Grantham,
proudly tends an allotment, Noel
Kingsbury is a celebrity. He has a
doctorate in horticultural ecology
and is well known for creating
naturalistic, low-maintenance
garden designs, as well as for
contributing articles to Gardens
Illustrated (the prettiest magazine
on the Rogers Free Library
shelves), and writing countless
books, including “Planting: A
New Perspective” with Dutch
designer Piet Oudolf (famous for
the HighLine in New York City,
and Chicago’s Lurie Garden). This
guy knows plants, let me tell you.
On the tour, Noel showed us,
plant-by-plant, exactly what to
look for that can help predict how
different plants will behave in our
gardens. For instance, we should
be able to tell which perennials
and shrubs are likely to be “shortlived.” Poke around the root zone
of a short-lived perennial like
purple coneflower (Echinacea
spp.) and you might notice that it
shows little to no sign of spreading from the base. Short-lived
plants will be lousy at clonal
growth but make up for that
drawback by being tremendous
flower or foliage producers and
sometimes by self-sowing too.
Not unlike annuals.
Observation along with a basic
understanding of plants’ origins
can also help us identify plants
that are tolerant of stress,
whether it’s lack of moisture,
light, or nutrients. Those that
have adapted to conserve
resources in their native habitat
may be evergreen (think wooly
thyme), summer dormant (Virginia bluebells), and/or early
blooming. “Competitive” plants,
by contrast, will use all the
resources they can get to grow big
enough to crowd and shade out
their neighbors. They may also be
evergreen, or grow tall and bloom
later in the season. And, according to Noel, because of the way
competitors hoard nutrients, fertilizing your garden isn’t a good
idea. The rich will just get richer
while the poor stay poor. He says,
“The less fertile your soil, the
greater diversity of plants it will
support.” That’s very good news
for my garden. I’ll call it rent control.
Noel didn’t make much mention of chrysanthemums (besides
commending Blithewold’s
Sheffield Pink mum on its willingness to spread) but I will. If
you have ever stuck a so-called
“hardy mum” in the ground after
it did doorstep duty over Halloween, you probably dismissed
it as an annual after all. But did
you happen to notice how shallow its roots are? Give that root
system more time to knit into the
soil before winter and your purchase might just live up to the
description---particularly if you
were lucky or savvy enough to
choose a Korean mum. Next year,
plant mums in late summer or
early fall. Mulch the root zone as
insurance, and resist the urge to
cut back the ratty stems at least
until spring.
Of course, Noel was preaching
to the choir. We all know, maybe
without realizing it, that careful
observation can teach us exactly
what to expect of our plants and
gardens. And in my book, knowing what to expect is the very key
that opens the gate to a fearless
— and “Plantiful” — garden.

HEALTHY EATING
I
Pumpkins: not just for carving
t’s that time of year again. It
seems like everywhere you
turn, pumpkin is being
added to something new. Besides
its delicious taste, did you know
that pumpkin is
a nutrient powerhouse? The
bright orange
flesh of a pumpkin is packed
with antioxidants that may
help protect
Emily

DELCONTE against
and heart disease. They are also rich in vitamin
A, fiber, and potassium.
Pumpkin can be eaten in a
variety of ways: roasted, in a
warm salad, in a soup, baked, or
even in a stir fry. It may look
intimidating to cut and prep, but
it’s actually quite easy. Take a look
at these steps for some tips.
How to Cook Pumpkin
■ Boiling: Cut the pumpkin
into large chunks, remove the
seeds, and rinse under cold
water. Place the pieces in a large
pot with about 1 cup of water
(the water does not need to cover
the pumpkin). Cover the pot and
boil for 20-30 minutes or until
tender. Drain the cooked pumpkin.
■ Baking: Cut the pumpkin in
half, scraping away the stringy
mass and seeds. Rinse under cold
water. Place the pumpkin, cut
side down, on a large cookie
sheet. Bake at 350ºF for 1 hour, or
until tender.
■ Microwaving: Cut the pumpkin in half, remove seeds. Place
the cut side down on a
microwave safe plate or tray.
Microwave on high for 15 minutes, and check. If it is not tender,
continue cooking for 1-2 minutes
at a time until done.

contest. Richard’s creation, “The
Portugee,” featuring Gold Label
beef, a fried egg, chorizo links,
sliced fried potatoes, creamy
goat cheese, caramelized onions
and roasted red peppers on a

by his Portuguese heritage and
the foods he longed for while
serving in the Marines for the
past four years. That inspiration
earned him the award for Best
Burger of 2014 and $500 in Chow
Fun Food Group gift cards.
Throughout August, Luxe
guests were encouraged to make
the most outrageously delicious
burger creation their culinary
imaginations could dream up. To
participate, contestants simply
filled out an entry form to create
their masterpiece from a list of
more than 45 ingredients already
offered at Luxe, as well as two of
their own secret ingredients.
The entries were reviewed and
the top five contestants had their
burgers featured on the Luxe

but don’t make your house sterile. It still
needs to feel like a home. Also, have professional photography; it’s a great way to
showcase your home and everything it
offers before someone walks through the
door."
BEACH OR MOUNTAINS: "Mountains;
we love to ski. Growing up, my grandparents had a house in Jackson, N.H. It’s still
my favorite place to visit and ski. We like
skiing Bretton Woods and Cranmore
Mountain as well."

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