Deputy Fire Chief Allen Manley stands outside the fire station beside the steel beam that was once part of the World Trade Center twin towers. 9/11 beam takes up post in front of fire station BY BRUCE BURDETT N [email protected] early 14 years ago, the eight-foot steel Hbeam helped support one of the World Trade Center’s twin towers. Now it stands 864,664 feet away on the front lawn of the Westport Fire Department’s Hixbridge Road headquarters. They know that number because they’ve done the math, says Deputy Chief Allen Manley. Visitors who gaze on the beam from the to-be-installed granite bench will be looking in the precise direction of the place those towers stood before the Sept. 11, 2001, tragedy — just over 163 miles to the westsouthwest. “It’s not done yet but it is quite moving just to see it standing there,” Deputy Chief Man- ley said. “People stop by and tell us that all the time.” Completion, ironically, may happen near or just after Sept. 11 of this year, although that depends on the arrival of granite pieces and completion of the walkway and patio that will surround the steel. A Fire Department delegation drove to Hangar 17 at New York’s JFK Airport three years ago to retrieve the beam that had been provided through the 911 Artifacts Program. Twice a month, the Artifacts Program handed over pieces of steel beams in varying sizes to approved organizations from around the country. Since then, the beam has been on display in the fire station lobby while plans for a more permanent monument were considered. “In retrospect, I’m glad it took us so long to decide what to do with it, that we didn’t rush into it,” Deputy Chief Manley said. In that time they’ve received suggestions from firefighters and residents alike. The biggest change in thinking was to put the beam outside. Early on they had thought the best place to display it was inside the station — probably the lobby — where it might enjoy more protection from the elements. Not all agreed with that idea. “We got one letter from a woman who sent us a donation but berated us for keeping it inside — keeping it to ourselves,” Deputy Chief Manley said, adding that others — in letters and comments — also preferred an outside location. Another woman, a summer resident, gave a generous anonymous donation. “Her sister had died on 9/11,” the deputy said. The woman came in to see the beam for herself, a moving moment that rein- See BEAM Page 3 Westport pro bass fishermen Joe Wood will appear on his sport’s foremost stage next week when he competes in the Forrest Wood Cup presented by Walmart. He is among 45 anglers selected to the tournament held August 14-17 on Lake Murray near Columbia, SC. The Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) championship features the sport’s top payday (the winner gets $500,000), concerts, national television coverage and more. In a sport dominated by anglers from southern states, Mr. Wood’s Westport address stands out — he is the only competitor among the 45 from the northeast. He earned his way to the Forrest Wood Cup by capturing his north region’s Angler of the Year title, winning by a lopsided margin of 43 points. He racked those points up with consistent high finishes at events drawing hundreds of pro anglers.

His success in these sparked a desire to fish at the pro level so he joined FLW Outdoors.

He had no sponsors last year but friends in the Westport area helped get him started.

Registration is Wednesday, Aug. 20, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Registar of Voters Office located in Town Hall at 816 Main Road. This is the last day to register for the upcoming election. Persons may also register daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Town Hall or by mail-in. Westport Shorelines August 14, 2014 Page 3 Firefighters fight two fires in two days One damages historic house at the Point Westport fire crews were called to battle house fires twice in less than 24 hours last week. One was in a historic Westport Point home. The first blaze was called in at 1:57 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 5, in a single-family home at 41 Grand Pine Way (just west of the intersection of Routes 6 and 88). The owners (the house is owned by Marie Cordeiro), who called 911, said they were across the street at a neighbor’s house when they heard their smoke detectors sounding. Firefighters discovered a fire in the kitchen and smoke in the first floor. They quickly extinguished the blaze but the house sustained what the Fire Department described as about $10,000 worth of moderate smoke damage. It is believed that the fire started in the dishwasher. Firefighters responded with three engines and a ladder truck. At about 11 a.m. the next day (Wednesday), firefighters from Westport and Little Compton were summoned to extinguish a basement fire at 1950 Main Road in the Westport Point historic district — the Capt. Edward G. Sowle House built circa 1835. Homeowner June Roche reported hearing an explosion and discovering a fire in the basement. Firefighters managed to put out the fire in about 15 minutes. They report that the blaze did not spread beyond the basement and is believed to have gotten its start near or in basement electrical panels. Electrical service to the house had to be cut off until repairs can be made. Smoke spread throughout the house and damage is estimated at around $60,000. No injuries were reported in either blaze. Fall River provided backup by sending an ambulance to an unrelated rescue call in town at the same time. The home at 1950 Main Road in the Westport Point historic district — the Capt. Edward G. Sowle House built circa 1835. BEAM: 911 memorial takes shape at station From Page 1 forced the notion that “this is something that people need to be able to put their hands on … Outside, everyone feels more welcome to stop and look at it, to touch it,” he said. The steel beam that now stands in front of the station shows evidence of the violence of that day. Although the beam is reasonably straight, a thick bolted on piece is twisted sharply and has a jagged edge where it was ripped apart. Creating the outdoor display has been a big job, an effort that townspeople have been more than willing to share. “We’ve received donations big and small from many people” — money, supplies, equipment and labor. Many of the gifts are small and “we had hoped for that — “we wanted the whole town to take ownership.” The beam now stands within a pentagonal base. Inside that will be a pentagonal assembly of five granite monuments. Five bronze plaques have been cast, each with its own message: ■ President Bush’s quote after 911 — “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.” ■ A dedication to Westport resident Dianne B. Snyder who, at age 42, lost her life that day aboard RICHARD W. DIONNE JR. Days after arriving at the station three years ago, the beam sits in the station lobby. American Airlines Flight 11. ■ The precise moment and place that each of the planes was lost. ■ “We will never forget the 343’ members of the Fire Department of New York. ■ “In memory of those who fell and those who carry on across all cities and towns across all generations.” WESTPORT SHORELINES (USPS #021-729) 1 Bradford St, Bristol 253-6000 • 253-6055 (fax) Mailing address: P.O.

Some residents said they became upset last week when it became apparent that roadwork was being done clear out to the Knubble, about 700 feet beyond where they had thought it was to be done. Highway Surveyor Gonsalves said Monday that he does intend to gravel the road out to the Knubble, as he said he has repeatedly said at Selectmen’s meetings. “It is nothing more than road maintenance and public safety. People are getting stuck out there all the time,” he said. He said he intends to do the work Wednesday if weather allows and added that care has been taken not to damage the dunes. Several neighbors, though, said their understanding was that the plan was never to go out as far as the Knubble with gravel. Doing so risks damage to barrier beach, they contend. The state Department of Environmental Protection authorized only “regular road maintenance,” said resident Constance Gee. “Building a gravel road all the way out to the Knubble goes way beyond regular road maintenance.” Tent Seen from the Knubble, town vehicles prepare Beach Avenue for gravel last week.

They are “portraying this as people down here wanting to keep people out but but it is nothing like that … It’s political theater and it’s sad.” She said that she and others believe that a better alternative would be to stabilize the dunes out there, provide a couple of handicap access parking space at the proposed turnaround, and to put in a boardwalk that would provide “people with disabilities with real access … that they will not otherwise have.” “They are laying a road base in a restricted area … doing three point turns, backing into dunes,” Ms. Gee said. Westport Shorelines July 24, 2014 Page 5 Paving set at East Beach, Lakeshore Sale on Shrubs & Trees Weather permitting, a long awaited coating of blacktop will be applied next week to two of Westport’s bumpiest roads. Narragansett Improvement Co. will begin work at East Beach Road and at Lakeshore Road most likely on Tuesday, Highway Surveyor Chris Gonsalves said Monday. They’ll probably begin the work on Tuesday. Crews were out grading East Beach Road late last week to smooth it for the pavement to come. Last year, a contractor applied a mix of ‘reconstituted asphalt’ to East Beach Road as an intended fix of earlier storm damage. But motorists said that job left the road at least as bumpy as before — like a washboard some said. Lakeshore Avenue, a small road that runs along the east side of South Watuppa Pond, was washed out during rainstorms. Initial plans were to include Beach Avenue in the paving contract but a divided Board of Selectmen finally opted not to pave Beach Avenue after receiving numerous complaints about the plan. Beach Avenue is instead getting a packed gravel coating (this week, again if weather allows), the extent of which has raised still more debate. Donations sought for empty fuel assistance fund Westport’s Fuel Assistance Betterment Fund is almost entirely depleted, the town treasurer’s office reports, and a call has gone out for donations to help replenish the fund. Rising fuel costs along with need are blamed for the situation and the town will not provide money to rebuild the fund.

Notorious for its standing as New England’s worst air polluter, the Somerset coal-fired power plant’s standing among visual polluters rose with each week of the cooling towers’ construction. They started out as a pair of lumps on the Mount Hope Bay horizon. Soon, nobody could miss the behemoths that looked for all the world like nuclear power plant towers. They kept climbing and grew to a startling height of 500 feet each (406-foot diameter at the base) by the time the job was done. The region’s tallest structures — they loom 70 feet above the tallest building in Providence and are taller than any New England building outside Boston — they dominate the view throughout Narragansett Bay and into Southeastern Massachusetts. Mighty ugly, they were built to do a good thing — cool the hot water the plant had pumped into the bay for decades, the steamy outfall that was blamed for altering the bay’s ecology and killing fish by the millions. Although their size caught almost everyone by surprise, it shouldn’t have. Brayton Point was under orders to fix that hot water problem and the plans were no secret. Politicians and press alike mostly missed that small detail during the planning stage. By all accounts they’ve done what they were built to do by pumping and cooling the equivalent of an olympicsized swimming pool a minute. That need will be gone in 2017 and so, too, should the towers. Somerset and towns all around should insist that demolition of those towers commence immediately after shutdown. It would seem an obvious step but it’s a costly one that owners sometimes feel little urgency to tackle. Witness the remains of the old Sakonnet River Bridge or remember the former Jamestown Bridge that rusted away for years after its successor was built. The ‘nuclear’ towers diminish the look and feel of this beautiful waterway, provide a ghastly first impression to visitors, harm the area’s ability to lure more attractive ventures, and diminish the value of investments already made here. People here deserve to get their view back. WESTPORT SHORELINES Established in 1993 Matthew Hayes, Publisher Bruce Burdett, Editor R. S.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Town needs to put the brakes on speeders To the editor: To the Board of Selectmen: I am retired and spend a fair amount of time on the roads of Westport Harbor. My usual running route takes me on Old Harbor, River, Acoaxet, Atlantic, Cross, and Howland roads. I would like to make the following observations about the problem of speeding in the Harbor (and elsewhere in Westport) and to suggest that this is a serious problem which must be addressed: ■ The double yellow lines are, for the most part, barely discernible; ■ For the most part, the roads in the Harbor are very narrow, and there are no shoulders; ■ There are no posted speed limits and no “Your speed is…” signs; ■ On straightaways, most drivers exceed 40 mph most of the time; ■ Most offenders are trucks and SUVs, many with out-of- state plates; ■ There is very little police presence in the Harbor; and ■ As the summer continues, attention to the problem of speeding is warranted. Some may say there are legal speed limits but there may as well not be speed limits, since they are not posted. Some may say that the Harbor would be getting special treatment if changes were made. The Harbor should not get special treatment on this issue; there are other areas of Westport that must have the same attention. Some may say that there are no funds available to address this problem in the Harbor and in other areas of Westport. In time, speeding tickets will cover the added expense to the town. Some may say it is the responsibility of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to establish limits. If that be the case, ask them to establish the limits. So what should be done? ■ Set up “Your speed is…” signs on River Road and Old Harbor Road; ■ Ask the Department of Transportation to establish speed limits on River Road, Old Harbor Road, Howland Road, and Atlantic Avenue; ■ Post the speed limits permanently; and ■ Provide police presence regularly. It is easy to overlook the problem; in a nanosecond it becomes impossible to avoid it. In this ever-more-crowded world, at some point there will be another serious accident and all priorities and attention will be focused on what might have been done to prevent such an accident. I hope you feel this issue merits serious consideration and that it is worthy of a response. Thomas Jansen Westport Westport Shorelines August 14, 2014 Page 7 Lock Your Liquor campaign aims to stem teen drinking Customers at local liquor stores this summer are being encouraged to secure the alcohol in their homes in an effort to limit underage drinking, especially among young teens. The Tiverton Prevention Coalition has teamed up with the proprietors of all three Tiverton package stores — Crossroad Liquors, Stonebridge Liquors and Tiverton Liquors — to promote a summer prevention program designed to remind adults to make sure the alcohol they purchase doesn’t find its way into the hands of Tiverton teens. Store owners are distributing “Lock Your Liquor” flyers provided by the coalition throughout the summer. “Although most adults do not give alcohol to minors, they are the ultimate ‘source,;” the coalition said. In a recent survey, 18 percent of Tiverton teens said they have obtained alcohol from parents “Substance abuse prevention is a community issue that can only be solved by community involvement at many levels.” REBECCA ELWELL, TIVERTON PREVENTION COALITION without their parents’ knowledge. Nearly 20 percent of Tiverton middle school students report that they got it from their parents with or without their knowledge. And 34 percent who drank alcohol in the previous 30 days reported that they got alcohol at a party without an adult present. “The message is a simple one: Whether you lock up your alco- hol or simply track it carefully to make sure it’s not mysteriously disappearing, keep kids safe — bring prevention home.” The partnership between the coalition and liquor stores over the past few years has included participation in TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures) Off – Premises and False ID certification training. Tiverton’s liquor stores have been monitored by law enforcement through compliance checks and “have exemplary records of no sales to minors over the past several years,” the coalition said. “Substance abuse prevention is a community issue that can only be solved by community involvement at many levels” said Rebecca Elwell, Tiverton Prevention Coalition coordinator, “We are very grateful for the effort put forth by the local liquor stores to keep alcohol out of the hands of kids.” Veterans Appreciation Day is Saturday American Legion Post #145, VFW Post #8502 and Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 207 will host Veterans Appreciation Day from noon to 6 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 16, at VFW Post #8502 on State Road.

Needed are three men and four women ranging in age from early 20s to 70s. The play is set in 1922, at the Connecticut castle-like home of William Gillette, who was a real person, a well-known actor, playwright and director. Gillette, best known for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, has invited his sister and his cast of the latest revival of the play, for the week- end. Gillette hopes to solve the murder of his fiancé, which occurred exactly one year ago at the mansion. While her death was ruled a suicide, Gillette believes that each of his guests had a reason to kill her. So, he arranges a séance, where he learns that one of his guests is trying to murder him. Using Holmes’ uniquely eccentric detective skills, Gillette sets about finding the murderer. Performance dates are Nov. 13 to 16 and Nov. 20 to 23. Auditions are at Your Theatre Inc. at 136 Rivet St. (corner of County Street) in the handicap accessible auditorium of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church.

BUSINESS ADVERTISEMENT N Civil Engineering Concepts is tops in all land use issues avigating engineering and land surveying projects requires reliable professionals who can provide accurate assessments and are up to date on all regulatory requirements. That’s why so many businesses and homeowners in the region turn to Civil Engineering Concepts, Inc., a firm licensed in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Their expertise is especially important today when two environmental regulatory issues require immediate action on the part of owners to avoid escalating fines and spiraling insurance costs. According to William Smith, P.E., president of Civil Engineering Concepts, Inc., new regulations requiring the elimination of cesspools located in sensitive waterfront and drinking water supply watershed areas are taking affect now. Home and business owners who have delayed responding to Department of Environmental Management notices to amend their properties are now being fined, with the cost escalating each day. “We can help these owners meet the new code requirements by designing fully compliant septic systems to replace existing cesspools and facilitate all approvals,” says Bill. New environmental issues that are catching some property owners by surprise, are the newly redrawn FEMA flood maps, prompted by recent coastal events. There has been a dramatic increase in flood insurance premiums. Those located in the flood areas are required by their mortgage holder to have flood insurance. “ The first step in obtaining flood insurance is the completion of a FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate, which must be done by registered land surveyors. Flood insurance rates are based on these elevation certificates and an accurate elevation certificate can prevent homeowners from overpaying flood insurance premiums,” says Bill.

Three engineers, a land surveyor and an administrative assistant, round out a well-qualified staff at Civil Engineering Concepts in Little Compton. Civil Engineering Concepts, with three experienced engineers and an experienced registered land surveyor, has over its decades in business handled many commercial and residential engineering assignments throughout Newport County and Southeastern Massachusetts, including recent work: such as septic system design for Tiverton High, Middle and Ranger Schools, survey and site work design for the new Tiverton Library, design and permitting for the Adamsville wooden dam in Westport/Little Compton, survey, design and permitting for the Quaker Hill Farm subdivision in Little Compton, sewer extensions in Dartmouth and Tiverton RI, survey, subdivision, OWTS and site work design for Sandy Wood Farms, as well as numerous projects for the Navy in Newport RI and Groton, Ct. They do site plans, septic and Title 5 inspections, septic system designs, property surveys, subdivisions, flood certificates, coastal and wetland permitting, percolation testing, soil evaluations, dock designs and land planning. Bill and his staff often represent clients at zoning and planning meetings and at Massachusetts and Rhode Island environmental and coastal hearings. Because of an interest in land and architectural preservation (Bill is the proud owner of a 1700’s post and beam building where the business is based), Civil Engineering Concepts, Inc. often works with property owners on land preservation and development rights issues and how best to plan the use of a property. “Many owners of large tracts are trying to preserve areas where they can,” says Bill. 34A Main Street, Little Compton 401-592-0177, 508-990-4900 • [email protected] NEW ENGLAND KITCHEN & BATH • 35+ years experience in kitchen & bath design and sales • 40+ years experience in construction & remodeling and project management • Team of tradesmen who work closely with us to accomplish all of your remodeling needs effecively & efficiently Celebrating 18 Years of Service & Commitment 1 New Industrial Road Warren • 401-254-6001 WANT TO SEE your business Find more photos at eastbayri.com 24/7 IN THE ? 401-253-6000 Page 12 Westport Shorelines August 14, 2014 OBITUARIES Elsie R.

Governor Lincoln Chafee had high praise for Doyle. “On behalf of the citizens of Rhode Island, I congratulate Kevin Doyle for his recognition by the National Endowment for the Arts,” he said. “As a retired RIPTA bus driver, he exemplifies the very best our state has to offer. His love for Irish Step Dancing and the arts is clear and should encourage others to pursue their passions.” Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, and Representative David Cicilline, also offered their congratulations, with Reed noting that Doyle “makes Irish step dancing look easy, but he is someone who has poured many years of hard work, sweat, and soul into honing his craft. I think it is great that he is being recognized on a national stage and making Rhode Island and our Irish-American community proud.” With more than five decades of Irish step Governor Lincoln Chafee (left) had high praise for Irish step dancer and 2014 National Heritage Fellow Kevin Doyle. dance under his feet, Rhode Island-born Kevin Doyle is a son of County Roscommon through his mother Margaret Taylor Doyle. He is a grandson of County Longford through his father John, whose Irish parents came to live in Providence, Rhode Island’s Fox Point in the early 1900’s. At the age of eight, Doyle, along with his sister Maureen, began to learn their first Irish dance steps from their mother. He recalls his mother lilting (a way of vocalizing rhythmically using syllables rather than words) old tunes like “McLeod’s Reel,” which she had learned from her own mother in Ireland. In the 1960s, Doyle studied at the Pat Fallon School of Irish Dance with visiting Boston instructors Steve Carney and Mary Sullivan, and at the McCorry School of Dance in Pawtucket, where he learned steps traceable to the old dance masters of Ireland. Through apprenticeship awards with the Southern New England Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program and Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, Kevin taught his daughter Shannon traditional Irish dance and she has gone on to become an Irish dance teacher herself. In 2013, Doyle was awarded a Folk Arts Fellowship from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. Doyle will be traveling to Washington, D.C. in September, where the 2014 NEA National Heritage Fellows will be honored at an awards ceremony on Wednesday, September 17, and a concert at George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium on Friday, September 19. Both events will be open to the public and the concert will be streamed live at arts.gov. The guy next door Staying true to himself, Ahmed Ahmed finds comedy doesn’t discriminate Actor, comedian, producer, and director Ahmed Ahmed is on top of his game, starring as “Ahmed” on TBS’ hit comedy series “Sullivan & Son” and touring the U.S. this summer performing a sellout stand-up show with three of his costars. But the road to success wasn’t without more than his share of speed bumps. An Arab-American (he was born in Egypt and brought to the U.S. when he was a month old), Ahmed was raised in Riverside, California, moving to Los Angeles at the age of 19 after deciding to try his hand at acting. Being an ethnically Arab actor was a bit of an anomaly in Hollywood, but that didn’t stop him. “I had lots of opportunities,” he says, “playing terrorists and cab drivers.” “What I really wanted to do was play the guy next door. But I never got called in for those types of roles.” Eventually, he told his agent to only call him with offers for mainstream roles. So he didn’t hear from her again. Ahmed ran out of money and ended up sleeping on the couch of one of the first friends he made in Hollywood: Vince Vaughn. He worked waiting tables and discovered he had a talent for stand-up. Ahmed Ahmed “The food was horrible,” he says. “I had to compensate with service and laughter.” This was in the 1990’s, when a lot of stand-up comedians were breaking into acting with their own shows. As a stand-up comedian for some 20 years, Ahmed did take an occasional self-deprecating shot at his Middle Eastern background. But after September 11, 2001, he had to be very sensitive to what audiences were interested in laughing at. To this day his humor tends more towards more universal issues of life as a 40-something single guy. It’s gone well — after all, as Ahmed says, “funny is funny.” In its third season, executive produced by Vaughn, “Sullivan & Son” follows Steve Sullivan (Steve Byrne), a corporate lawyer who surprises his parents when he leaves his job to take over a bar owned by his father in Pittsburgh. Ahmed made his first appearance as unlucky in love, tow-truck driver (and best friend to Steve) “Ahmed” in season one, and joined the cast as a series regular in season two. Ahmed and four of his costars are keeping their stand-up muscles toned (and promoting their show) in comedy clubs across the country through August. You can see Ahmed along with Owen Benjamin, Roy Wood Jr., and Steve Byrne at the Comedy Connection in East Providence this Friday at 8 p.m. Currently the only Arab-American actor playing a non-stereotypical role on a comedy sitcom, Ahmed couldn’t be happier. “I’m paid to laugh,” he says. “It’s the best job in the world.” WHERE: Comedy Connection, 39 Warren Ave., East Providence WHEN: Friday, August 15; 8 p.m. COST: $25 MORE INFO: ricomedyconnection.com Author Wally Lamb in Barrington Barrington Books is honored to welcome New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb on Saturday, August 16 at 2 p.m. for the paperback release of his latest novel, “We Are Water”.

STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE Rhode Island must not concede vacationers I have been on a vacation for more than a week traveling with my family in an RV around Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. Being offline means that I’m behind on the latest in Rhode Island politics and that I have not seen a Red Sox game since leaving the land of NESN. I know I didn’t miss much since the Sox season was over long ago and then truly dead when Cara they traded four CROMWELL of five starting pitchers. Perhaps they should just forfeit the remaining games and rest up until spring training. Being unplugged has been nice but my mind wanders back to something I always think about when I travel: how RI compares to where I am. We have seen plenty of evidence that shows Rhode Island at the bottom of almost every measure of success and that people leave Rhode Island and don’t come back. While I don’t plan to change my address (ever) I do like checking out the things that other states do better. It’s clear that Rhode Island definitely has room for improvement. These western states could not be any different from Little Rhody. In the “where are you from” conversation that inevitably occurs locals have been quick to remind us that both Rhode Island and Delaware could fit into Yellowstone Park together. We went to a dinner show where one of the jokes was based on the fact that no one from Rhode Island is ever there. On three separate occasions people have said some variation of “Rhode Island is the only state I haven’t been to and I don’t know why I would go.” While it’s nice to live in the country’s best kept secret, we would benefit tremendously from a boost in visitors. While the Sox have conceded for the season, I think it’s time that Rhode Island fought to be a contender in tourism revenue. But our state’s puny budget for promotion — $400,000 — shows that growing this sector of our economy is not a priority. Our tourism website (visitri.com) is embarrassing and to confuse matters, there seems to be two See CROMWELL Page 12 Page B2 East Bay Life August 13-14, 2014 THEATER REVIEW T A classic summer ‘whodunnit’ at 2nd Story he season of summer in New England provides a plethora of singular sensations, priceless moments and fun traditions. We boast of our patriotic parades, the tang of salty air on our glorious beaches, waterfront seafood fests and the livin’ is easy. Onstage the grand tradition is for good oldfashioned summer stock shows and in Warren 2nd Story Theatre promises to fill this bill with gusto with both William a rousing murOAKES der mystery and a sweet old charmer of a play. This summer the theatre in Warren’s century-old building on Market Street has two plays running in rep, Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” and Noel Coward’s “Hay Fever”, both playing now through Labor Day. Each play shares the same swell set but the similarities end there — apart from providing an opportunity to beat the heat with some sheer fun. This week we’ll concentrate on the murder mystery, I’ll be brave enough to tackle the Coward next week. Frankly, I’m a little nervous. For, you see, in “And Then There Were None” ten guests who may or may not have done something wrong in their pasts have been invited to a mysterious isolated RICHARD W. DIONNE, JR. Chuck Lafond, Eric Behr, Sharon Carpentier, Walter Cotter (seated left to right) and Erin Elliott, Jim Sullivan, Paula Faberand F. William Oakes (standing left to right) are among the cast of Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” UpStage at 2nd Story Theatre, Warren, through August 31. island by someone who may or not be a murderer. Rules of full disclosure dictate me to tell you that I’m one of those guests. But trust me here as I guide you through this mystery, as I both promise not to talk about myself too much nor indicate ‘whodunnit’. The really fun aspect of the genre fiction that has become such a staple of straw-hat summer stock theatre is that, though the formula is familiar, you never really know how this is all going to play out. That’s a truth that sustained Christie during her 50- year writing career and one that buoys up her own theatrical adaptation of her novel. Sure, the characters and situation, like summer theatre itself, might be stock. But that doesn’t mean it won’t shock and surprise the heck out of you. Fans of mysteries know well and savor all of the usual suspects, as you will all of the customary ruses and red herrings that abound. I myself portray a nervous Doctor quaking in his boots and if that’s a guilty quiver you see before you, well, I’ll never tell. The other assorted guests trapped on the isolated “Soldier Island” on a naturally dark and stormy night comprise a wide variety of suspect sorts including a very pretty and pretty plucky heroine, the obligatory butler and housekeeper, a shady detective, a moralistic shrew, a dapper ne’erdo-well, a stern and reptilian Judge, a morose military man and, rounding out the field, the lovable rogue without whom no adventure is truly complete. It is to this last suspect I now draw your attention, adding my observation based on being stuck on this island with him, that, though he is quite naturally charming, no nicer man has ever had to play the coarsely kidding caddish sort and that calls for considerable acting chops. The character’s name is Captain Phillip Lombard; the actor is Jay Bragan and we spoke a bit whilst waiting for the proverbial axe to fall about all things mysterious. Last seen on the 2nd Story Stage in “Harvey”, Mr. Bragan is a graduate of the Trinity Rep Conservatory and has, for the past 10 years, been the Head of Performing Arts at Portsmouth Abbey School, directing three productions a year as well as teaching English. Happily, because he’s on summer break, he’s available to be stuck here on Soldier Island in a play directed by one of his teachers at the Conservatory, 2nd Story Artistic Director Ed Shea. Teaching literature, directing plays and acting all require similar, though not identical, skills. I asked Mr. Bragan what it was like to ‘switch hats’ for his onstage role as Captain Phillip Lombard. “It’s been five years since I’ve acted in a play”, the ever-affable Bragan explains, “and I was a little worried that those skills may have atrophied a bit. But I was surprised at how quickly it all came back. Acting is so experiential that there has been little time to step outside the role and think like a director. And being in a play has been a good reminder to me about what my students have to go through!” The murder-mystery genre fiction of Agatha Christie is, unlike most plays, an intricate little puzzle that the audience takes great pleasure in trying to solve. Though each of us onstage has a secret past we are also stuck together in a dire situation. To that end, in rehearsal our director, Ed Shea talked a lot about our job as actors to “feed the mystery” as opposed to trying to “play a character” and I asked Mr. Bragan to expound upon that idea. “When Ed said that we are to “feed the mystery” and not get caught up in out own story, the play really opened up for me. I found that advice to be very freeing. I really began to take in that we are all creating the story together. It took off the selfimposed pressure of trying to be interesting and helped focus our collective attention on each other and not ourselves.” “Back at the Conservatory”, Mr. Bragan continues, “Ed taught us what an onstage “event” is. It’s essential that actors know what the event specifically is in a scene so they can play it; otherwise that scene would have no focus. In my first scene in “And Then There Were None” I arrive with another character and we talk about the mysterious party we’ve been invited to on this formerly deserted house on an isolated island. We flirt with each other and establish our relationship somewhat, but the main event needs to be what we say about the house on the island. In this case the audience learns some vital information. If we focused more on our relationship the audience might be confused as their attention would be misdirected. So knowing what the main event is is crucial. I’m always aware of this as a director and am thankful to Ed for teaching such an important lesson.” In an attempt to try to incorporate the three sides of Jay Bragan, teacher, director and actor, I asked him about the importance of both seeing and participating in live theatre. “Theatre and literature are both forms of storytelling”, Bragan explains, “and acting is, for the most part, an oral tradition of story telling. Literature is powerful in that it evokes the senses, a good writer creates a world to experience. Agatha Christie has the wonderful ability to give each character their own voice. When I first read the play I was struck by how distinct each character already was just on the printed page. Their tone, syntax, idioms-all of these contributed to a very specific type of person. I found that to be impressive playwriting. The rich characters, as well as the skillfully crafted mystery, make this a delightful play.” “But”, Bragan points out, “there is the one element that other art forms do not have: theater is live. There is that immediate visceral quality to theater. Theater can help one appreciate literature all the more because all the elements of the story are right there in front of you, all brought to life.” So, audience, did either of us ‘dunnit’? I’ll never tell. But please join us on Soldier Island and help unravel the mystery, without you, there truly would be none. “And Then There Were None” at 2nd Story Theatre, Warren, now through August 31.

The draft addendum proposes new fishing mortality (F) reference points, as recommended by the 2013 benchmark stock assessment, and associated management measures Capt. Dave to reduce fishing MONTI mortality to a level at or below the proposed target within one or three years. With the approval of one of these options striped bass regulations will become more conservative. Specific options to be considered include bag, size, slot and trophy size limits for the recreational fishery and quota reductions for the commercial fishery. The draft addendum includes a suite of management options to reduce recreational and commercial harvest under three reduction timeframes. The timeframes include (1) reducing to new fishing mortality targets in one year with a 25% reduction in 2013 harvest in 2015 (2) reducing mortality to its target within three years with a 17% reduction in 2013 harvest in 2015, and (3) reducing to its target within three years with a 7% sequential reduction in harvest for three consecutive years starting in 2015. Fishermen and other interested groups are encouraged to provide input on the draft addendum either by attending state public hearings (RI, MA and CT meetings to be announced) or providing written comment. The draft addendum will be available on the Commission website (www.asmfc.org) under Public Input the week of August 11. Public comment will be accepted until 5 p.m. on September 30 and should be forwarded to Mike Waine, Fishery Management Plan Coordinator, 1050 N.

We weighed in a 44 pound fish from Ken Prendergast of New York and a 55 pound striper landed by Richard Dean of Massachusetts.” Tom Giddings of The Tackle Box, Warwick said, “A customer caught a 44 pound striped bass off Narragansett this weekend.” Nick McCarthy of Lucky Bait & Tackle, Warren said, “Michael and Jason Macedo landed bass to 39 pounds fishing with eels at Block Island aboard River Rebel Charters. And, Charlie Sores (noted local striped bass fishing exert and author) weighed in a 37 pound bass caught off Newport while trolling tube and worm. We also have customers landing bass with eels in the Brenton Reef area.” “Fishing for bass has been good with customers at Block Island, off Brenton Reef and we heard from local Air Force pilots going in and out of Quonset Point, North Kingstown seeing schools of bass off the airfield. These are all positive signs for a good bass fall run,” said John Wunner of John’s Bait & Tackle, North Kingstown. “Offshore fishing has been hot,” said Elisa Martin of Snug Harbor. “Yellowfin and bluefin tuna were caught this weekend at the Gully and at the Suffix with thresher and mako sharks being taken south of Cox’s Ledge.” “Tuna trips are starting to book and reports from the canyons are hot!” said Roger Simpson of the Frances Fleet. “The first tuna trip is set for August 27 to 29, leaving August 26 at 10 p.m.” Visit francesfleet.com for information and reservations. Summer flounder (fluke) fishing on the south side of Block Island has been very good but fishing along the southern coastal shore has been fair. “Conditions have to be right to catch fluke along the coast, but they are there,” said Elisa Martin of Sung Harbor Marina. “Customers are catching large numbers of fluke off Newport but many of them are undersized.” “Customers are catching some keepers right under the Mt. Hope Bridge from shore,” said Nick McCarthy of Lucky Bait & Tackle. “Fluke fishing in the bay has been difficult; one customer caught seventeen fish, all shorts,” said John Wunner. Roger Simpson said, “Last week on a few trips the weather was so gorgeous and calm that there was very little drift… biggest fluke for the week was around 8 pounds.” Capt. Rich Hittinger, RISAA vice president said, “Fluke fishing has been very good. We had some good luck off Sakonnet two weeks ago, but recently we have had a very good bite at Block Island.

Anglers fishing from the beaches and jetties are not landing much… just scup and bluefish are being taken. At Ft. Wetherill, Jamestown, last weekend school striped bass and bluefish were surfacing… just out of shore angler reach.” Last week seven year old TJ Giddings of Warwick landed three keeper scup in twenty minutes when fishing with his dad at Rocky Point, Warwick. Scup are being caught in the bay and off coastal shores from boats and shore. Dave Henault of Ocean State Tackle, Providence said, “The scup bite under the Mt. Hope Bridge is good, as well as at Colt State Park, Bristol.” Black sea bass fishing has been excellent with anglers catching their limit when targeting fluke. Steve Brustein of West Warwick landed sea bass off Newport last week to 19”. Roger Simpson said, “(The) biggest sea bass was 6.2 pounds!” Fresh water fishing for bass continues to be strong with trout fishing starting to fade. “A customer caught a nine pound and a five pound largemouth bass when fishing at Lincoln Woods,” said Dave Henault.

He holds a captain’s master license and a charter fishing license.Visit Captain Dave’s No Fluke website at noflukefishing.com or e-mail him with your fishing news and photos at [email protected]. The annual William J. McCarthy Memorial Swim is this Saturday, August 16, beginning at 9:30 a.m. off the Bristol Town Beach. Participants may swim as individuals or as members of a relay team. New this year is the “Fins & Floaties” fun swim for children aged 7 and up. This family-friendly William J. community McCarthy event will feature live music, a dunk tank, food trucks, raffles, and much more. Sponsored by People’s Credit Union, proceeds from the swim will go to the development of the William J. McCarthy Memorial aquatic center at the Bristol’s new QuintaGamelin Bristol Community Center. Bristolians who were lucky enough to know William “Bill” McCarthy (1917-2011) know that there is nobody who would be a more appropriate namesake for this benefit. A lifelong open-water swimmer, McCarthy participated in 20 consecutive Save the Bay swims, well into his eighties. At 1.7 miles, across the East Passage from Newport to Jamestown, it’s an athletic feat for someone a quarter McCarthy’s age. McCarthy continued to ride his bike through the streets of Bristol into his 90’s, but this husband and father of 14 is perhaps best remembered as a husband, father, neighbor, and friend.

It is the most famous china pattern in the world, and the longest continually produced pattern in history. The willow pattern has its roots in China and is most often seen in blue and white.It was and continues to be Karen by hunWATERMAN made dreds of manufacturers (including in the United States). Examples may vary slightly but all have key features: a willow tree, an apple or orange tree, two doves, people on a bridge, a boat and a pagoda (tea house). Supposedly, the original willow pattern was inspired by a fable. There are several versions but they are similar. A wealthy Chinese man lived in a magnificent pagoda under the branches of an apple tree near a bridge over which a willow tree drooped. His beautiful daughter was the promised bride to a wealthy merchant when the first blossom fell from the willow tree. However, she fell in love with her father’s bookkeeper. The father found the two of them together and pursued them across the sea to a cottage on an island and was planning on putting them to death but the gods intervened and turned them into doves, symbolizing true love. Blue Willow is a type of transferware. Developed in the mid 1700’s by an Irishman named John Brooks, transferware is a method of which a design on a copper plate is transferred to the china thus allowing pieces to be mass produced. Chinese potteries were exporting their hand-painted blue and white china to England and sold to wealthy customers. Transferware made the blue and white designs affordable to the masses. The best way to tell if you have an old piece is to see if it is marked. If it has a country of ori- gin mark it was made after 1891. A lot of pieces are unmarked and they could be old or new. Because of this and the sheer volume produced, prices for blue willow vary greatly. There is helpful information on collecting and identifying willow on the International Willow Collectors website: www.willowcollectors.org.

Hysteria — Live at the Joint, Las Vegas’ M y best friend in high school had an older brother who had already turned us on to Def Leppard’s “On Through The Night” and “High And Dry” albums. So when “Pyromania” was released we were already Bryan well versed in MARTIN the band and what they could do. Overnight everyone in my high school starting wearing union jack shorts or t-shirts. MTV had “Photograph” in regular rotation and by regular I mean every 30 minutes. Radio was suddenly embracing them as a heavy metal Beatles. It was a good time to be young and into hard rock music. Now decades later the band, having weathered death, loss of limb, drugs, overdoses, alcoholism, and an uncertain musical market, have reclaimed their former glory with “VIVA! Hysteria - Live at the Joint, Las Vegas”. The live concert features classic songs as well as recent albums hits. Set in Las Vegas during their residency, the band seems to be on fire, even performing as the band “Ded Flatbird” and opening act for themselves — allowing the band to play some of the really older songs that they would not have time to play during the main set. Clever. Very clever. The concert is a testament to the staying power of this group. Pop hits aside, there are some killer tracks awaiting you on the release. “Wasted”, “High And Dry”, and “Rock Brigade” fall easily in place next to mega hits like “Animal”, “Hysteria”, and “Photograph”. Listening to the audio took me right back to those crazy days and wild nights when Def Leppard ruled the airwaves and stone washed jeans were in. Joe Elliot has never sounded better and he seemed quite comfortable in the Vegas setting. Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell are truly masters of their instruments and they weave a sonic tapestry in and around the timehonored classic songs. This interplay helped breathe new life into the songs. The concert performance would put bands half their age to shame. There is so much energy and power flowing from these living rock icons. A must-have for any fan of hard rock and 80’s hard rock, this will be a crowning piece in any collection. Production on this album is flawless, as is the performance. Great songs from a great band.

O Is this the worst Congress ever? n August 2, the two Republican congressional contenders who wish to dispatch incumbent Representative David Cicilline to the locker room appeared on “Newmakers.” Both gentlemen, Cormack Lynch and Stan Tran, acquitted themselves well. As I listened to their respective Arlene thoughtful VIOLET responses I kept asking myself why either of these men would even want to go to Congress, given the woeful track record in D.C. Both candidates recognize the gridlock in Washington. Yet, their optimism of ending the unrelenting incompetence of Congress sounds like something out of Mary Poppins. It’s difficult to imagine a more ineffective body of decisionmakers than the present Congress of do-nothing sycophants. Before their 5-week vacation they cobbled together a “solution” to the Veterans Affairs mess where former soldiers waited endlessly for appointments (let alone treatment.) As the reader knows, there are socalled Veteran Oversight Com- mittees in both the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, so it’s a difficult to swallow the absolute befuddlement of the solons over this botched health care delivery system. After all, they were supposed to be the guardians. With all the rhetoric about how each elected official values the members of the armed services it would have been just nice if they did their job rectifying the problems, as opposed to soliciting donations non-stop for their reelection bids. Other major issues received a bubble gum paste job. Immigration reform is an oxymoron. The fat cats on Capitol Hill allowed the interest on Stafford loans for higher education to rise from 3.86 to 4.66 percent. This inaction came at a time when other interest rates hovered much lower. So much for political patter about how important education is. The country’s transportation issues of crumbling roads and bridges got a thumb-in-thedike treatment. As bad as these cronies in Washington are, I suppose I mostly felt a twinge at the idealism exhibited by candidates Tran and Lynch since many folks just don’t care. The United States has one of the lowest voter turnout rates of any democracy. What is a dilemma in Rhode Island is the fact that the people who do turn out largely vote for the same gang who can’t shoot straight for anybody other than their own self-interest. Voters will tell you at a cocktail party that they think most people elected in Rhode Island are unqualified but yet they do not insist on anything better. Given the apathy it’s no wonder that politicians are hand-picked by the rich, de facto aristocracy or through the influence of political extremists. So, given voter apathy and the pandering politicians, nothing really changes. Congress can have a favorability rating of 7 percent but it seems that we have gotten what we deserve. Please understand that I admire the gumption of Messrs. Tran and Lynch. If I am totally honest, I would acknowledge that it is the voter here that has me most worried about the future of this country and the state. How have the citizens’ expectations of what public service should be gotten so low that doing nothing has become a virtue? “First do no harm” has turned into “first do nothing and then do nothing again.” How sad that the body politic is anemic on many levels.

MOs are all over the news. But what are they exactly? GMOs (genetically modified organisms) are plants and animals that have had their genes copied from other plants and animals to improve their quality. GMOs aren’t a new concept, they have been in our food supply for over 10 years. Recently, more attention has been paid to them because the U.S. has no Emily DELCONTE labeling laws that require companies to state if their products contain GMOs. Are they safe? Many people think that GMOs are unsafe and should be taken out of the food supply. Some research has found that foods with GMOs are just as safe as conventional foods. However, there is some evidence that GMOs may cause some genetic side effects in people and animals that consume them. Also, there hasn’t been much research on the long-term safety of these foods quite yet. Some think that eating GMOs can increase the incidence of food allergies or antibiotic resistance, but this is still unclear. We do know that GMOs can harm animals, insects, birds, and water systems. Why would companies want to use GMOs in food? Genetically modified foods allow companies to increase resistance to insects, increase crop production, and use fewer Crustless Spinach Quiche Servings: 4 ■ Cooking Spray ■ 3 eggs ■ 1 1/2 cups 1% milk ■ 1/4 teaspoon salt ■ 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper ■ 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional) ■ 1 dash nutmeg ■ 9 ounces frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry pesticides. In the U.S., the most common foods that contain GMOs are soy, corn, canola, and cottonseed oil. Should I avoid GMOs? It’s completely up to you. Although companies are not required to state if their products contain GMOs, many companies are happy to tell consumers that their products do not contain GMOs. It’s easy to identify these in the grocery stores - just read the label. 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a pie plate with cooking spray. 2. Place eggs, milk, salt, pepper, chili powder, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Mix until combined. 3. Spread spinach on the bottom of the pie plate. Top with egg mixture. 4. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until center is firm.

If you’re going to grow something, it might as well be something you can eat, I thought. So, next to two blueberry bushes, I planted two thornless blackberry bushes. Last year, there were a couple of dozen berries. I kept tasting them, but they were too tart. A day before I planned to pick them, they all disappeared. Apparently, the birds knew they were ripe, too. This year, I covered them with netting three weeks ago. I put some netting underneath, too. Every day, I collect a dozen or so berries. It’s tricky deciding if they’re ripe. They are fully ripe if you touch them and they fall into your hand, but then they must be eaten or used pretty quickly or they dissolve into juice. Picking them while still a little tart and baking them is a fine solu- Blackberry Buckle is an old-fashioned dessert that’s quick, easy and so summery sweet. tion. So far, we’ve had peach/blackberry crumble (a big hit) and this blackberry buckle, a moist, light cake surrounding the luscious berries. This is a combination of several recipes. Some called for twice as many berries, but I like this ratio best. If the berries were fully ripe, I think I would skip the mashing step, and just place them on top of the batter. But, the store-bought berries or those that are a little tart benefit from a slight mash and some sugar. made jewelry, bags, soaps, pyrographic art, and terrariums will be featured along with gourmet cupcakes from Sweet Addiction in Barrington and Decadent Designs in Smithfield and delicious wines.

Bristol’s Bounty from Land and Sea Pancake breakfast in Tiverton This fabulous “farm to table” event will be held at Mount Hope Farm, Sunday, August 24. Locally sourced produce and seafood from Narragansett Bay will be prepared by four notable Rhode Island chefs for a memorable four course dining experience. The event will not only highlight the culinary skills and restaurants of The Tiverton High School Boy’s Basketball team is holding a pancake breakfast fundraiser to raise money to send the team to Orlando, Florida for a tournament in December. It will be held at at Family Ties Restaurant, 221 Main Rd, Tiverton, on Monday, August 25 from 7 to 11 a.m. Donations will be accepted. Preheat oven to 350°. Mash the blackberries a little (especially if they are really large). Blackberries are usually a tart fruit; if yours are, sprinkle with a little sugar, which will release some of the juices, too. Set aside. If berries are fall-apart ripe, skip the mashing. Melt butter in a 10-inch cake pan or casserole dish in the oven. (Keep an eye on it, you just want the butter melted). Take out and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add milk and vanilla extract and whisk just until well combined. Add the melted butter and whisk gently to combine. Pour mixture into your still buttery pan and spoon the blackberries and their juices into the center. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake until the top is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the batter comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream (or vanilla ice cream). * I keep a jar of raw sugar in the cupboard to sprinkle on muffins, scones or desserts like this blackberry buckle. It gives them a sparkle and crunch. Visit Lynda Rego on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lynda.rego where she shares tips on cooking, books, gardening, genealogy and other topics.

It is caused by bacteria or a virus that inflames the thin membrane (conjunctiva) that lines the eyeball and inner eyelid. The conjunctiva becomes red and swollen, and there is often a discharge from the eye as well as the experience of blurred vision, a gritty sensation, and/or light sensitivity. Viral conjunctivitis, the most common type, usually clears up on its own in about a week. This informative and interesting col- umn about pink eye has been brought to you as a public service. We are located at 24 Bosworth Street, Barrington Shopping Center, Barrington, where we have the personnel and the most modern ophthalmic instruments to give you the most up-to-date eye care. Please call 247-2015 to schedule an appointment. We are committed to excellence and providing you the best eye health care possible. P.S. While bacterial conjunctivitis is more serious than viral conjunctivitis and may require medical treatment, allergic conjunctivitis is caused by pollen or another airborne irritant and does not resolve until the source is eliminated.

Locally we have seen this kind of success through the efforts of Explore Bristol. Can you imagine if this effort were replicated statewide? Several candidates for governor have seized on this issue and have pledged to put more money into tourism promotion. I would like to see the General Assembly share that commitment as well since a governor can propose whatever he or she wants but without General Assembly support, a governor’s initiatives go nowhere. Rhode Island has so much to offer in such a small place that promoting all our assets together with a significant investment is the smart way to go. In typical “Rhode Island” fashion, our individual tourism bureaus are allocated funds but left to design and promote their own campaigns. Visitors from other states will be willing, if not thrilled, to move around the state taking in the sights. After all, they aren’t Rhode Islanders, so driving from Providence to Newport and back is not considered a multiday journey. One thing I have missed about home since we’ve been out here: a Rhode Island license plate. Day 10 of the license plate game and we’ve yet to spot one. It’s a good reminder that Rhode Island is a great place to staycation in the summer. Now it’s time to open our doors and invite the rest of the country over for a vacation.

East Bay Life August 13-14, 2014 Page B13 East Bay Real Estate EASTBAYClassifieds.com August 13-15 , 2014 Page C1 MEET DEB PLANT: PAMPERED CHEF WHO LOVES FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS Deb Plant is a professional Realtor from the Tiverton area. She has a vast background in sales and customer service, is a dog lover and volunteers to rescue Labradors in need of a good home. She and her family love to entertain and can often be found hosting family and friends for cookouts and days by the pool. BY JOAN D. WARREN WHY REAL ESTATE AS A CAREER? “I love working with people, learning their needs and helping them fulfill them. It’s very rewarding. Whether it’s getting a first-time buyer into their dream home (or sometimes getting them to have the vision to MAKE it their dream home!), working with a seller to enable them to move along to the next stage of their lives (and working through the emotional attachment that often comes with the sale) or with an investor to build their business, I work to bring their dream to fruition and alleviate the stress that often comes up along the way.” WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE REAL ESTATE? “When my children were young, it was important to me that I was home with them. I discovered a national company that allowed me to pursue my passion of cooking while working nights and weekends, when my husband could be home with the kids. I did in-home cooking demonstrations with The Pampered Chef, selling top-quality kitchen tools and showing others that preparing food for your family and friends could be easy and enjoyable. After a couple of years, I became a director for that company and trained and supported others doing the same. I was with them for 10 years and recognized yearly as a top sales consultant in the company, earning incredible annual vacations. I met the most amazing people, many became close friends and several have been real estate clients or have referred me when they hear of someone purchasing or selling property. Probably 80 percent of my real estate business is referrals from others and repeat business.” BEST FAMILY DAY: “We have a huge family and do a lot of entertaining at our house ... seafood on the grill, everyone is in the pool, outdoor speakers are on, there may be a special drink ...” WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR HOBBIES? “We have a 1970s Cape that we are in the midst of readying for some pretty major interior and exterior renovations. I’m thoroughly enjoying the process. We have three dogs, two Lab mixes and a Golden Retriever puppy. They are a big part of our lives and a huge source of joy. Enjoying time with my friends, when your children are young, it’s easy to put yourself last. Stephen and Samantha are 24 and 19 now. It’s easier to make more time for me now. I love to cook and entertain, and would like to develop a gym habit. That’s still a work in progress.” FAVORITE PLACE FOR LUNCH: “Probably Flo’s.” WHERE WOULD YOU LIVE IF YOU WEREN’T IN RI? “I don’t think there’s a prettier spot than here in Tiverton and Little Compton, the mix of farmland and Sakonnet River is breathtaking ... but I’d love to be on the water’s edge. Downsizing one day to a perfect little cottage either on the Sakonnet or ocean is very appealing to me.” VOLUNTEER WORK: “In the past I organized many fundraisers for The American Cancer Society. More recently, my family has become involved with Save A Lab, a wonderful organization that rescues Labs and Lab mixes from the south and brings them north for adoption. We adopted our second dog through them 1 1/2 years ago and have enjoyed fostering pups in our home until they are ready to be adopted out to their forever homes, SaveALab.org if you’re considering a new four-legged family member!” WHERE DO YOU GO TO RELAX? “Fogland Beach, no matter the time of year or weather!” MARKET PREDICTIONS: “I think it’s fair to stay we are still in a recovery, rates are low and stabilizing. It’s a great time to purchase real estate and I see that trend continuing over the next 10 years.” Deb Plant, ABR Coldwell Banker Guimond Realty 401-451-8293 The Sign you want. The Agent you need.

Variable mortgages listed are for 30 years, adjusted annually. Points are a one-time charge equal to one percent of the mortgage. APR stands for annual percentage rate and reflects closing costs spread over the life of the loan. CAP is the most a variable mortgage can increase in one year. Savings and loans and Rhode Island loan and investment banks are included in the bank section of this chart. These rates, provided by the institutions on Monday of this week, are subject to change or special conditions. For more information, consumers are advised to call the institution. First-time homebuyers may qualify for lower-rate mortgages from the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation. Many credit unions only grant loans to members and limit membership to a defined group. When shopping for mortgage rates ask for explanation of closing costs.
