Times Portsmouth THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2014 eastbayri.com VOL. 2, NO. 44 FREE Plan for new wind turbine is approved Blessing the brook Pact expected to be finalized Nov. 6 would allow town to pay off debt on machine BY JIM MCGAW [email protected] 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, See ELECTION Page 4 See TURBINE Page 9 JIM MCGAW Seeker of Owl Wisdom (far right), a member of the Aquidneck Indian Council, reenacts the Healing of the Water ceremony by pouring a small bottle of water into the babbling brook at Founder’s Brook Memorial Park on Saturday. 3 Horses, the council’s chairman (second from right) looks on with other members of the group.

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. For more information about the Aquidneck Indian Council, visit www.aquidneckindiancouncil.org. Drum practice is held every Thursday at 6 p.m., and anyone is welcome to join in. Portsmouth Times October 30, 2014 Page 3 Pedestrian fatality deemed a ‘call to action’ Town to make safety improvements in Sea Meadow Farms we can do,” he said. Police Chief Thomas Lee said while the accident is still under investigation, he doesn’t believe better lighting could have prevented the tragedy as it took place in daylight and the pedestrian was walking on the grass at the moment of impact. BY JIM MCGAW [email protected] 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 ‘Isn’t just Sea Meadows’ JIM MCGAW Sea Meadow Court was the scene of an auto accident that killed a pedestrian Oct. 19. neighboring Spinnaker Run with new yellow “Slow” signs and a flashing speed limit sign. “Similarly, your immediate attention to Sea Meadow residents’ safety concerns is needed and would be PORTSMOUTH TIMES 1 Bradford St, Bristol 245-6000 • 253-6055 (fax) Mailing address: P.O. Box 90, Bristol, RI 02809 Published continuously since 1967. 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.

Political Advertisement Candidate defends against charge that use of 375th logo is improper BY JIM MCGAW [email protected] CONSTITUENTS FIRST POLITICS LAST DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS CAN WORK TOGETHER! Representative Jay Edwards - District 70 (Portsmouth/Tiverton) Senator Christopher Ottiano - District 11 (Portsmouth/Tiverton/Bristol) PLEASE GET OUT & VOTE NOVEMBER 4TH Paid for by the Commitee to Elect Christopher Ottiano, Treasurer Christopher Ottiano Paid for by the Friends of Jay Edwards, Treasurer Donna W. Edwards 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 Town Council member David Gleason’s campaign signs, incorporating the Portsmouth 375th anniversary logo, along Park Avenue. 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. ELECTION: Polls open from 7-8 Tuesday From Page 1 POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Jane Mower Portsmouth Town Clerk Serving ALL Portsmouth Residents THE QUALIFIED CANDIDATE Present Portsmouth Town Clerk Portsmouth Deputy Town Clerk 2003 to 2013 Paid for by Joanne Mower ca Lineberger. On the Republican side are incumbent Thomas Vadney and Erica Medley. Current member Frederick Faerber III, who was appointed to the committee to fill the term of a Republican who resigned shortly after the last election, is running as an Independent. Portsmouth Town Clerk — 2 for 1 In the race for Portsmouth town clerk, current clerk and Republican Joanne Mower is running against Democratic challenger Jennifer West for a two-year term. A story in last week’s issue incorrectly reported that Ms. Mower was an incumbent. Actually, she was appointed to the job after Kathleen Viera Beaudoin retired last year. General Assembly: Senate seat, two House posts up for grabs All three state General Assembly incumbents — two Democrats and one Republican — are on the ballot this year seeking reelection. In the Senate Dist. 11 race, Republican Christoper Ottiano faces a challenge from Independent candidate Taylor Dame. For the town's two House seats, Democratic Rep. Dennis Canario faces Norbert Rattay in the District 71 race, while fellow Democrat, Rep. Linda Finn (Dist. 72) squares off against Republican Daniel Reilly. State referenda: Gambling expansion at Newport Grand At the top of the list of state referendum questions on this year's ballot is the expansion of gambling at Newport Grand to include table games. A separate question asks voters to decide whether future proposals to relocate gambling sites would require approval of local voters. See related story for more about the state ballot questions. Polling information The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Portsmouth Times October 30, 2014 Page 5 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 RESIDENTIAL SEPTIC SYSTEMS Serving Newport County for 25 years Licensed Installer Class 1 Designer • Inspections Conventional and Alternative Systems Please contact Dean for a FREE Consultation and Estimate 401-683-5656 202 Chase Road, Portsmouth RI Reg. #8333 Photos of events, people, etc. available for purchase at eastbayri.com Opinion Page 6 Portsmouth Times October 30, 2014 EDITORIAL 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 events that are taking place in our country, state, or town, but your vote is one of the ways that you can express your will. You could also participate in the political process by attending Town Council and School Committee meetings or volunteer for membership on one of the town committees. In any case, voting is the final opportunity for you, as a citizen of the United States, to fulfill your civic duty and cast your vote. Prior to voting take the time to review the sample ballot and the Rhode Island Voter Information Handbook 2014 that you received in the mail. It makes no difference if you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Moderate, Conservative or Liberal. Just vote. See you at the polls on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014. Robert Bledsoe Portsmouth 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. Ryan T. Calcutt Portsmouth 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. The Taste of Portsmouth Committee Portsmouth Free Public Library Portsmouth Times October 30, 2014 Page 7 Spooky strut POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT DR.

OTTIANO State Senator District 11 Portsmouth/Tiverton/Bristol JIM MCGAW CANDIDATE STATEMENTS 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. David M. Gleason Independent Town Council 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 and make you proud. Allen Shers Republican Town Council 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. Thomas R.Vadney Republican School Committee 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.

I am supporting Independent Candidate Conni Harding and I ask you to please vote for her as one of your seven Town Council Candidates Thank You, PAID FOR BY HUCK LITTLE AND FAMILY 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. Dennis Canario Democrat House District 71 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. David N. Cicilline Democrat U.S. House of Representatives, R.I. District 1 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. Taylor Dame Independent Senate District 11 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. Linda Finn Democrat House District 72 Proud of accomplishments but more work still to do Find more photos at eastbayri.com 24/7 I am writing to ask for your support on election day. I am a Portsmouth native and retired Naval officer. I have held elected office serving Portsmouth since 2000 and am thankful for the opportunity to give back to this wonderful community. We have accomplished much, but there is more still to do. I am proud of improvements we’ve made to the town’s longterm financial condition. Much work has gone into making this happen. I am especially appreciative of our town employees. It is only with their help, sacrifice and understanding that we’ve moved forward, stabilizing our future as a community. We can all be proud of the tripleA bond rating recently received. There is no higher credit rating. But to keep it, and continue building that stable future, we must remain resolute in continuing to find more efficiencies, manage our assets better, consolidate overlapping functions, and grow our tax base. We can achieve this, and I believe I can help, if you will have me for a sixth term on the Town Council. I ask that you vote for me, and my fellow Democrats, to continue progress toward that bright future we want for the town we love. Jim Seveney Democrat Town Council Portsmouth Times October 30, 2014 Page 9 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.

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.” Find more photos at eastbayri.com 24/7 Page 10 Portsmouth Times October 30, 2014 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.

Col. Palma. The nine from Rhode Island 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 PHOTOS BY RICHARD W. DIONNE JR. Lt. Col.

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. Portsmouth Times October 30, 2014 Page 11 Sewers nixed in town’s pact with DEM Some warn that state could change its mind down the road, however BY JIM MCGAW [email protected] 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.

Halloween matchup pits Patriots against Eagles PHS gridders lose lead, game against La Salle 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. Quarterback and senior captain Colin Tullson throws a spiral downfield against La Salle Friday night.

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.

Celebrate Sakonnet Greenway Trail in 5K race Aquidneck Land Trust hosts Nov. 1 fund-raiser This year’s five-kilometer crosscountry run/walk along the Sakonnet Greenway Trail will feature a new course trail. The race, hosted by the nonprofit Aquidneck Land Trust (ALT), will start at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1, at the Brown House at Glen Farm, off East Main Road. Runners and walkers of all ages and abilities may take part in the trail race, which passes across Sandy Point Avenue and Braman’s Lane and loops back down Wapping Road to the Glen. Participants’ sponsorship will help ALT continue to deliver lasting green benefits to the island community. ALT held its inaugural 5K race to celebrate Aquidneck Island’s longest nature trail in November 2008. All proceeds of the race, which attracted nearly 300 participants, went towards helping ALT meet a challenge grant for completion of the trail. Proceeds from this year’s race will go toward the maintenance of the existing trail and overall mission of ALT. Registrants can register online at www.ailt.org (for a discounted price) or on the day of the event beginning at 9 a.m. on the Glen’s lower fields. There will be a cash purse for the overall male and female runners, as well as prizes for each winner in various age categories. ALT will also offer medals for all children 14 and under. The Acacia Food Truck will be there as well. ALT’s mission is to preserve Aquidneck Island’s open spaces and natural character for the lasting benefit of the community. Since its inception in 1990, the organization has conserved over 2,400 acres on Aquidneck Island.

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. Bleach and other chemical solutions may HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS ■ PAGE 2 Halloween?

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.

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.

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.” Said on-board journalist Amory Ross, “I’d hate to come across as being impossible to please but Around-island speedster Portsmouth’s Sandy Takacs, sailing his Hobie 14 Frosty Feline, took first place, multi-hull division, in the Oct. 4 Sail for Hope Regatta.

Mark Towill is at the helm. 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.” Local talent at high school singlehandeds Several sailors from this area will be among the competitors when 36 singlehanded high school sailors from around the country will gather in the Pacific Northwest to compete in the 2014 Tyler Fleig Cressy High School Singlehanded Championship.

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 Kingstown. Noted Rhode Island shore angler Steve McKenna of Cranston said, “We have had a good October. Last week I had a 36 pound bass that went for a Super Strike Bottle Plug swimming lure off Narragansett. The Northeaster (storm) lasted for five days but some nice fish were taken after the storm during the first night (Friday) of calm wind.” McKenna who is an associate at Quaker Lane Outfitters, North Kingstown said, “Arguably we had The Tides* Wednesday, October 29 Thursday, October 30 Friday, October 31 Saturday, November 1 Sunday, November 2 Monday, November 3 Tuesday, November 4 Wednesday, November 5 Thursday, November 6 the best false albacore run ever with some shore fishermen catching over 80 fish. That is a good year.” Mary Dangelo of Maridee Bait & Canvas, Narragansett said, “Narragansett Beach and the Coast Guard Restaurant have been good for school striped bass.” Angler Gil Bell said, “I’ve been catching and releasing nice striped bass over twenty pounds (from South County beaches) in these nasty, windy mornings (last week). This morning I landed a 38” long, 21.18 pound striped bass using one of Al Gag’s WhipIt-Fish.” Elisa Martin said, “Boat anglers are landing school bass using top water lures. And, with the bad weather boat anglers have not been traveling to Block Island.” John Littlefield of Archie’s Bait & Tackle, Riverside said, “Anglers in the Providence River are catching school bass and bluefish using lures with Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows being the swim- See MONTI Page 6 HiAM HiPM LoAM LoPM 12:16 (3.9) 1:14 (3.9) 2:13 (4.0) 3:14 (4.2) 3:16 (4.5) 4:19 (4.8) 5:18 (5.2) 6:11 (5.4) 7:00 (5.6) 12:41 (4.4) 1:40 (4.4) 2:40 (4.3) 3:42 (4.3) 3:46 (4.4) 4:47 (4.6) 5:43 (4.7) 6:35 (4.8) 7:23 (4.9) 5:06 6:03 7:15 8:51 9:24 10:27 11:18 — — 5:57 7:04 8:31 9:46 9:39 10:23 11:04 12:05/11:44 12:51 Sunrise Sunset 7:13 7:14 7:15 7:16 6:17 6:19 6:20 6:21 6:22 5:44 5:43 5:41 5:40 4:39 4:38 4:37 4:35 4:34 Full Moon November 6 — New Moon November 22 * Information is based on tides in Bristol Harbor. Page B4 East Bay Life October 29-30, 2014 POLI-TICKS 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 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 visit rifoodbank.org. East Bay Life October 29-30, 2014 Page B5 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. Dr. Lynn Anne Evans of the Barrington Veterinary Clinic has been practicing veterinary medicine for 26 years. Do you have a pet question for Dr. Evans? Please email [email protected], with “Dr. Evans” in the subject line. PET OF THE WEEK 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.

Page B6 East Bay Life October 29-30, 2014 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. Kristin Green is the interpretive horticulturist at Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum and author of “Plantiful: Start Small, Grow Big with 150 Plants that Spread, Self-Sow, and Overwinter” (Timber Press).

Anglers using eels have met with little success during the day with a better bite at night.” “Tautog fishing is improving with shore anglers landing keepers at a 10 to 1 ratio (ten shorts to one keeper) in the Warren River. The Wharf Tavern and American Tourister have been good as well as Conimicut Light for boaters.” said John Littlefield of Archie’s Bait & Tackle, Riverside. Elisa Martin of Snug Harbor Marina said “Tautog are still in shallow water. Capt. Lou DeFusco of Hot Reels Charters landed an eight pound and then a five and half pound tautog at Seal Ledge off Newport. But, once the big fish are taken from a spot you have to move because all you will catch are shorts.” Littlefield of Archie’s Bait said, “One customer said he caught over 60 short tautog to find one keeper.” Mary Dangelo of Maridee Bait said, “Anglers are catching black fish at Black Point, Narrgansett using green crabs.” Black sea bass. Roger Tellier of North Kingstown nearly caught his limit of black sea bass using squid and green crabs when tautog fishing off Scarborough Beach, Narragansett during windy conditions Saturday.

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 cancer 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.

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 sesame seed bun, was inspired 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 menu through October 17, with the top five participating in a final showdown on Saturday, Newport Restaurant Week returns Gourmands and casual diners unite this November 7-16 for Newport Restaurant Week, featuring three-course prix-fixe lunches for $16 and three-course prix-fixe dinners for $35.

WARREN L aura Fortin of the Mello Group is a people person who loves to help others realize the dream of home ownership. Originally from Rehoboth, she lives in Rumford with her husband, son and dog. They are currently building a home in Dighton, Mass. An avid runner, she enjoys racing for charity. WHY ARE YOU IN REAL ESTATE? "Real estate allows me to do what I love, but also allows me to make my own hours so I can spend as much time as I like with my son and husband." WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR CAREER? "How my day is never the same. I also get to meet so many great people on a daily basis." DREAM CAREER: "I always wanted to be a singer, but I have one minor problem — my singing voice." WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES? "I enjoy running, skiing and baking. I enjoy making anything sweet, usually something with chocolate." WORKOUT: "My workouts vary day to day. I completed my first full marathon in May. That was an amazing experience. I am currently five months pregnant, so my running mileage has been cut down. Running helps me to clear my head and keeps me happy!" MARKET PREDICTIONS: "The market has been on a steady increase, and I don’t see it stopping." WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST LESSON THUS FAR AS A REALTOR? "To expect the unexpected. You never know where your next client will come from." BEST VACATION: "Hawaii with my husband for our honeymoon." FAVORITE BOOK, MOVIE AND TELEVISION SHOW: "Favorite book — 'My Sister’s Keeper;' Movie — 'When Harry Met Sally;' Television Show – 'Blue Bloods.' " LUNCH WITH ANYONE: "My Dad. He always makes me want to be a better person." ADVICE FOR SELLERS: "De-clutter, 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."

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.
