Special to The Portsmouth Times
hen the last whistle was blown Saturday night, the Newtown High School
girls’ soccer team had defeated
Portsmouth High by a score of 2-1.
The outcome of the game was hardly the focus, however. This was about
one team reaching out to a wounded
community.
The exhibition game, held at Roger Williams University (RWU)
in Bristol, was set up by PHS girls’ soccer coach Jim Blaess in
response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn. in December 2012.
“My wife is a teacher and I’m surrounded by teachers, so when
that happened it hits home a little bit,” said Mr. Blaess. “I just had
an idea of a charitable game.”
Mr. Blaess went on to contact the athletic director of Newtown
High School, who put him in touch with the girls’ soccer coach,
Marc Kenney. The two men worked together to plan the exhibition
match, which RWU immediately agreed to host.

EAST BAY LIFE
A local corporation has filed an
application to take over ferry service from Prudence Island to Bristol — the first time since Bruce
Medley took over the route with
Prudence Island Ferry in the mid1980s.
A&R Marine filed its application
for a certificate of public convenience and necessity with the R.I.
Division of Public Utilities and
Carriers on Sept. 19. The corporation would operate as Prudence
and Bay Islands Transport.
The company is comprised of
two Prudence Island residents,
Ethan and Patricia Rossi; and two
Richmond residents, Stephen and
Daniel Antaya.
“We are pursuing this application and this service based on the
Town of Portsmouth, the Town of
Bristol and the residents on the
island expressing their need for a
more reliable and long-term service,” said Stephen Antaya. “We
are still in the preliminary phase,
and in process of putting this
whole game plan together.”
A&R Marine would need to
prove that it is fit, willing and able
to provide ferry service from Prudence Island to Bristol, as well as
demonstrate a need for that service. If there is currently a ferry
service in operation, A&R Marine
would have to prove that the service provided by Mr. Medley is
inadequate or would be in the
future.

Teachers awarded grants
The Portsmouth Public Education
Foundation (PPEF) awarded seven
grants to educators during the
recent all-school teacher orientation assembly held at Portsmouth
High School. Before the grant
awards, PHS Principal Robert Littlefield introduced longtime sub-
stitute teacher Lt. Col. Edward
Fitzgerald, USMC retired. “Mr.
Fitz” was thanked for many years
of service to the Portsmouth
school system and his popularity
was acknowledged by a rousing
standing ovation by all the teachers.
Mr. Fitz then presented PPEF
President Marilyn Brockway with
a check in the amount of $4,400
to the foundation. The check was
from the Barton Carroll Memorial
Foundation to be used toward
future grants.
The awards given for this academic year follow.
The Dr. Robert A. Davidson
Awards were given for Hathaway
and Melville schools to Laura
Backman for “Creating Nonfiction
Picture Books.” Michele Polselli,
Nicole Vanasse, Val Seveney and
Kathy Veira were given a grant
for Melville School entitled “The
Pond and Beyond and Life in Your
Watershed.”
The William Jay’ Humphrey
Award went to the middle
school’s Heather Baker for “March
into Reading.” The Barton Carroll
Memorial Award went to middle
school teachers Rebecca Silveria,
Jonna Hole, Brian Smith and Laura Smith, for “Do You Hear What
I Hear — Enhancing Science and
Math with Listening Centers.”
State Sen. Christopher Ottiano
secured a legislative grant for
PPEF and these funds were
awarded to high school teacher
Margaret Prior for “Using Handheld Technology to Bring Color to
the World of Math, One Graph at
a Time,” and Elaine Amaral for
“Bridges of Newport County.”
The Lt. Colonel Edward Fitzgerald
Award was given to high school
teachers Janet Kasparian and
Amanda Noble for “Bringing Technology into the Classroom.”

Preparing for a disaster
Firefighters train for reallife situations at vacant
Elmhurst School
two firefighters will stay at a room’s
entrance and tap the ground or
door frame with their hands or
tools so that the others inside will
be able to find their way back out.
BY JIM MCGAW
[email protected]
Fooled by two doors
With plumes of black smoke
billowing out of Elmhurst
School, Deputy Fire Chief
Michael O’Brien explains the situation to firefighters who have
just arrived on the scene.
“We have one civilian missing.
Nobody’s seen him since the fire
started,” he tells firefighters Kyle
Teixeira, Dennis Canario Jr.,
Brendan Phelan and Evan Katz,
all gearing up quickly outside the
main entrance. “There are rooms
off to the right and the left. There
is no intelligence as to what
room the guy’s in. No one’s seen
him since the fire kicked off. I
think he tried to put the fire out.”
Then they go in, holding onto a
long rope to keep everyone
together. They check each classroom in a zigzagging pattern,
starting with the room closest to
the entrance. The further firefighters make their way into the
darkness, however, the more desperate the situation becomes.
They can’t see, their tanks are losing oxygen and they haven’t
found the would-be hero anywhere.
But then the deputy chief suddenly hears Mr. Teixeira’s voice
over the radio: “We found him!”
He’s in a bathroom, inside the
handicapped stall.
“Dammit!” exclaims Chief
O’Brien. “I wanted them to run
out of air!”
Don’t worry. Your deputy fire
chief isn’t a sadistic criminal
mastermind bent on wiping out
rescue workers. This is only a
drill, with Deputy O’Brien leading — and occasionally trying to
trip up — rookies who are
preparing themselves for real-life
situations.
Except for a few minor snafus
— such as when a water line got
snagged on a table leg because
firefighters hadn’t pulled enough
of it into the building first —
they comported themselves well,
said Deputy O’Brien.
“These guys are pretty sharp.
Two of them have prior experience,” he says, referring to Mr.
Phelan, who recently came to
Portsmouth from the East Green-
One can easily become disoriented inside a smoke-filled building, even if you’ve frequented it
many times before. At one point,
firefighters finish searching one
room before crossing the hall to
look through another. When they
cross back over and pass through
another doorway, Deputy O’Brien
stops them.
“What do you know about this
door?” he asks.
Turns out it’s the same room
they had checked earlier; the
rookies were fooled because it had
two doorways on the same wall.
“Say ‘thank you.’ Other chiefs
would have let you search it
again,” said Deputy O’Brien, who
was also nice enough not to use a
much-heavier dummy that the
department also has for training.
As for which water line to use for
a fire, familiarizing yourself with
the building is critical. When the
deputy chief asks Mr. Teixeira how
much line he needs for the
Elmhurst “fire,” he guesses 200
feet.
“This is Elmhurst School. Do
you know how long it is?”
responds the deputy chief, who
ordered firefighters to get the 250foot line.
Deputy O’Brien said the training drills, if set up properly, can
replicate a real-life situation as
accurately as possible. Except,
that is, for one thing.
“The only thing that’s missing
from this is the stress of a real call,”
he said. “They’re not in danger of
being injured and you don’t have
somebody’s life depending on
your ability to find them. You don’t
have all the sirens and the radio
traffic and all the chaos that goes
with an actual structure fire —
and it is chaos. Hopefully through
repetition down here, when that
day comes and there is chaos, they
can revert back to automatic
mode.”
And next time, they can expect a
tougher drill scenario from the
deputy chief, who was annoyed
that a rookie found the bathroom
“victim” so quickly.
“I should have put the dummy
in the toilet,” he said.
RICHARD W. DIONNE JR.

drill recently. Looking on are Kyle Teixeira (between the two men), Brendan Phelan (right) and Deputy Fire
Chief Michael O’Brien (in back).
wich Fire Department, and Mr.
Teixeira, who had been a volunteer in Jamestown. Mr. Canario
was a former dispatcher for
Portsmouth, while Mr. Katz is a
Newport firefighter who joined
the others in the training session
recently.
While the town is still trying to
figure out what to do with the
Elmhurst
property,
the
Portsmouth Fire Department has
been getting plenty of use out of
the school since it was closed in a
cost-cutting measure in 2009.
“We’re down here a couple times
a month. Over the summer we
used it a lot,” said Deputy
O’Brien. “This thing has been
charged with smoke so many
times that the fire alarm system’s
not re-setting anymore. The
detectors are overwhelmed.”
But now that the town has
approved the demolition of most
of the building, firefighters will
soon have to find another vacant
building for its training drills.
“Over the years we’ve used Navy
housing before they tore down
those vacant units, or the Sea
Fare Inn. We’re pretty opportunistic with that kind of thing,”
Deputy O’Brien said.

Published continuously since 1967.
Adaptable for training
One of the big advantages the
school has over most buildings is
that it’s adaptable to most any situation. “Classrooms are nice
because they’re wide-open areas,
so you can simulate a lot of different types of searches. The size of
the room dictates the technique,”
he said.
Three machines blow non-toxic
smoke throughout the building.
Getting rid of the smoke afterwards
is part of the training. “Ventilation
is one of the primary functions.
When we ventilate a house, usually
it’s to release heat so it’s safer for us
to go in. But also it releases all the
gases, so this is a nice little ventilation drill for this crew as well,” the
deputy chief said.
To help them see, in some drills a
firefighter will use a handheld thermal imaging camera — it renders
infrared radiation as visible light —
while guiding the others. Despite
their poor technology early on, the
imagers have been invaluable.
Shortly after the gadgets first
arrived in the late ‘90s, a thermal
imager was used at a fire at St.
Barnabas Church.
“They smelled something that
was burning on and off for a day or

so and they couldn’t find it,” said
the deputy chief. “We brought the
imager in and within five minutes
we located a small fire in the roof of
the church that probably would
have burned it down later that
evening.”
In another exercise, no imager is
used as firefighters run through a
scenario blind. “Old school, like we
used to do,” said Deputy O’Brien,
who stashed the dummy in the
corner of a classroom for this drill.
Tthe most challenging part of the
fire training? “Not being able to
see,” said Mr. Canario.
Indeed, after just five minutes of
smoke being charged through the
hallway, you can barely make out
the hand in front of you. “The rule
of thumb is, when you can see your
feet you can stay up,” said the
deputy chief. “If you can’t see your
feet, you start to crouch into a duck
walk. And if you still can’t see your
feet you should be on your knees,
and that’s because of the holes that
develop.”
When they’re “blind,” firefighters
use their other senses to help each
other find their way. There are bolts
in the rope line every 20 feet so
they’ll have an idea of how deep
they’re inside a building. One or

Local man stepping down from longtime federal judgeship
Edward Harrington spent
summer of 1964 in
Mississippi, protecting the
rights of college students
conducting voter
registration
U.S. Senior District Judge
Edward
F.
Harrington
of
Portsmouth is stepping down
from the federal bench effective
Dec. 31, 2013.
Judge Harrington, 80, served as
a United States district judge for
over 25 years and, before his judicial appointment, as an attorney
for the U.S. Department of Justice
in Washington, D.C. and in Boston
in various positions for over 15
years. Those positions include
United States attorney and chief of
the Organized Crime Strike Force.
He was a member of a select
group of attorneys sent by Attorney General Robert Kennedy to
Mississippi during the “long hot
summer of 1964” to protect the
rights of college students who
were conducting voter registration there.
He is one of only seven individuals who have served as both U.S.
district judge and U.S. attorney for
the District of Massachusetts
since it was established in 1789.
Judge Harrington was appointed as U.S. district judge for the
District of Massachusetts by President Ronald Reagan on Feb. 22,
1988 and assumed senior district
judge status on March 1, 2001.
“During his quarter century of
judicial service, Judge Harrington
skillfully addressed a broad range
of demanding and novel issues,
including the ‘fraud on the market’ doctrine in securities fraud
cases, the use of ‘repressed memory’ in sexual abuse cases, the
scholastic standards required of
learning-disabled students in private schools, the diligence
required of federal regulators in
the fishing industry, contentious
confrontations at abortion clinics,
the constitutionality of the cell
tower legislation, and discovery
rules for electronic documents,”
said U.S. District Court Judge Patti
Saris, the chief judge for the District of Massachusetts.
“In addition, he participated in
many major patent cases involving significant inventions in the
medical, electronic and communication fields. With versatility,
energy and common sense, Judge
Harrington provided a model for
the independent generalist judiciary established by our Founders
through the Constitution,” she
added.
Judge Harrington was an early
critic of the mandatory U.S. Sentencing Commission guidelines,
criticizing them for their inflexibility and severity. As a senior judge
he declined to hear criminal cases
based on his belief that the guidelines infringed the sentencing
judge’s traditional discretion. After
the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately
U.S. Senior District Judge Edward
F. Harrington lives in Portsmouth.
rendered the guidelines discretionary, rather than mandatory,
Judge Harrington resumed trying
criminal cases.
In summing up his approach to
judicial service, Judge Harrington
said, “As a judge, I had no agenda
other than to try to resolve disputes justly and expeditiously
under established principles of
law.”
Judge Harrington has summered in Portsmouth since 1940
and has been a permanent resident since 2011.

PORTSMOUTH — The Board
of Regents of Portsmouth Abbey

has
announced the
appointment
of
Daniel

lighted Mr. Medley’s public statement that Prudence Island Ferry
would shut down Dec. 1 as reason
to file.
Mr. Medley later changed his
statement when proposed authority legislation failed.
“We’re not going anywhere,” Mr.
Medley said. “I don’t know why
they think this. After the legislation
to create an authority failed, I notified everyone that we were going to
continue service.”
Mr. Medley explained his reasoning for his cease-operations
announcement was due to legislation proposed by State Rep. Ray
Gallison this past spring, which
would have created a Prudence
Island Ferry Authority. The Authority would have exclusive rights to
operate a ferry service to and from
the island, with Bristol as the mainland dock. It would be comprised
of three Portsmouth residents, and
two Bristol residents, all elected by
their respective town councils. The
Authority would be given power to
set ferry rates, as well as solicit bids
for ferry services.
Prudence Island Ferry Inc., has
been designated as a lifeline carrier, meaning under no circumstances would the company be
able to cease operations. It is the
only way for residents and visitors
to the island to get to the mainland.
While the Town of Bristol owns
the Bristol port that the ferry docks
at, Mr. Medley owns the Prudence
Island dock. A&R does not have a
port on the island, or a ferry.
“We’re in the early stages of evaluating exactly what we need on the
island for a landing,” Mr. Antaya
said. “We are in the position to
build whatever is necessary, or to
provide whatever is necessary.”
A public hearing has yet been
scheduled.

Blue-green algae infestations
have prevented the R.I. Department of Environmental Management’s Division of Fish and Wildlife
from stocking trout in Melville
Ponds in Portsmouth.
The Division last week began
stocking approximately 6,000
brown and brook trout in Tiverton
and other locations throughout the
state last week for the fall freshwater fishing season. Melville Ponds
was left off the list, however, due to
the blue-green algae blooms.
Fall trout stocking was delayed
this year until the beginning of
October due to elevated water
temperatures. The following areas
have been stocked: Stafford Pond
in Tiverton; Meadowbrook Pond in
Richmond; Carbuncle Pond in
Coventry; Olney Pond in Lincoln;
Barber Pond in South Kingstown;
Silver Springs in North Kingstown;
Carolina Trout Pond in Hopkinton; Big Round Top Pond in Burrillville; Blackstone River; Wyoming
Pond in Hopkinton; Pawtuxet River
in Cranston and West Warwick;
and the Wood River. All areas will
be stocked before Columbus Day.
The blue-green algae blooms,
also known as cyanobacteria, may
produce naturally occurring algal
toxins. The health advisory for
Melville will remain in place until
Nov. 1. During this time, people
should swimming, boating, fishing, eating caught fish or allowing
pets to enter into or drink from
these ponds.
Skin rashes and irritation of the
nose, eyes, and/or throat are common side effects that result from
skin contact with water containing
algal toxins. If water containing
algal toxins is ingested, health
effects include stomach aches,
diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea.
Other health effects, which are rarer, include dizziness, headache,
fever, liver damage and nervous
system damage. Individuals who
come into contact with blue-green
algae blooms in Melville Pond
should rinse their skin with clean
water as soon as possible and wash
their clothes. Anyone who is experiencing the symptoms listed
above after coming into contact
with an algae bloom should contact their healthcare provider.
Pets are at greater risk because
they’re more likely to swim in or
drink contaminated water. If pets
come into contact with the water,
rinse them with clean water to prevent them from licking the potential toxins, and to contact their veterinarian if they become ill after
swimming in a pond experiencing
an algae bloom.
DEM and the R.I. Department of
Health have notified Portsmouth
officials of the algae blooms and
are working with the town to
ensure that those around the bodies of water are aware of the potential danger posed by the blooms.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
EDITORIAL
Region will be
well rid of coal plant
I
f it actually comes to pass, news that coal-fired
Brayton Point Power Station will shut down arrives
as a breath of fresh October air to the towns within
range of its stacks.
The plant, described by the EPA as the most toxic
polluter of air in New England, has been a blight on the
region for decades and the South Coast will be well rid of it.
That ‘worst polluter’ status stuck to the power plant
despite belated efforts by owners to scrub the emissions.
Nobody here was spared the yellow pall that hung over
Somerset on still mornings. When breezes rose from the
north, that cloud — bearing mercury, arsenic, lead, ammonia and more, wafted south to Tiverton, Portsmouth, Westport and Little Compton. Easterly breezes sent it to Warren,
Bristol and Barrington. And southwesterly sea breezes were
fouled for those living north and east.
Although the scrubbers helped some, people used to
swear that they could tell the wind direction by the depth
of the soot layer on their cars in the morning.
The plant’s warm water discharge transformed much of
Mt. Hope Bay into a bathtub dead zone. Fishermen say
conditions have improved some since construction of billion dollar cooling towers but still are not close to what
once was. No word yet on the fate of those towering twin
nuclear eyesores.
As was the case with an ill-conceived attempt to transform Mt. Hope Bay into a private LNG terminal, public
outcry clearly played a part in the owners’ decision to
throw in the towel. No image in the fight has been more
lasting than that of a small Newport fishing boat anchored
smack in the path of an incoming coal ship despite the
Coast Guard’s best efforts to evict it.
While the closure is certainly hard on the 250 people who
work there, less bothersome are claims that regional electric bills will soar without Brayton Point’s coal power. With
natural gas abundant and relatively inexpensive, coal now
contributes only about 3 percent to the New England power mix — indeed competitive pricing was perhaps the
biggest reason for Monday’s announcement.
Brayton Point is a relic of an era when people didn’t (or
pretended not to) know better than to pump sulfur and
soot into the sky.
It is way past time for Southeastern New England to
move on.

List of Sakonnet Bridge toll
losers is very long
To the editor:
On July 2, the General Assembly passed and Governor Chafee
approved a “trailer bill” allowing
an interim 10-cent toll on the
Sakonnet River Bridge. Of
course, the nominal amount is a
place-holder for the larger
amount of $5.25 (without a
Rhode Island transponder) originally approved by the Rhode
Island Turnpike and Bridge (RITBA) Authority Board (a self-governing entity like the EDC) which
it says it “needs” to support the
“Four Bridge System” consisting
of the Jamestown, Newport,
Mount Hope and Sakonnet
Bridges.
So the winners are:
■ Rhode Island Department of
Transportation (RIDOT) which
will no longer be responsible for
maintaining two major bridges,
and;
■ RITBA – a quasi-government
agency whose required revenue
amounts keeps changing, and
who continues to overstep its
bounds by planning on well over
$20 million annually in new
Sakonnet Bridge revenue to support not just the Sakonnet
Bridge, but the Jamestown, Newport and Mount Hope Bridges.
The $20 million has to come
from somewhere, so the losers
are:
■ Low-income employees
traveling on and off Aquidneck
Island for work;
■ Small business owners, dog
walkers, beauty salons, Meals on
Wheels, Visiting Nurses, landscapers and tradesman, and all
who use the bridge several times
a day;
■ Island residents traveling to
Providence and Boston for med-
ical treatments;
■ Day-trippers who spend at
local markets and shops;
■ Tourists visiting our beaches,
restaurants and shops;
■ Military retirees traveling to
the Navy Base for medical services;
■ Manufacturers who ship to
and from the island;
■ Oil, construction, furniture
businesses required to cross the
bridge with deliveries;
■ Towns’ tax revenue from
reductions associated with these
businesses;
■ Schools’ already tight budgets for trips for sports and recreation;
■ The list goes on and on…
Ultimately, this toll will have a
serious negative economic impact
on residents, visitors, businesses,
and Rhode Island’s General Fund.
Numerous businesses and residents have testified that once the
toll is instituted, low wage
employees who cross the bridge
daily will not be able to afford to
come to work, day trippers will
limit or eliminate their trips to our
local businesses, businesses will
reduce staff, and income to the
communities adjoining the bridge
will be reduced, consequently cutting tax revenues to the state. The
negative effect will be devastating
to many Rhode Islanders.
This decision is short-sighted
for Rhode Island and destructive
to the economic gains we have
worked so hard to attain during
these challenging economic
times. The toll is not a done deal as
so many have been lead to
believe. Let’s remind our elected
officials that they are elected by
the people for the people, not to
make their lives easier by passing
these costs along to voters.

Democrats don’t watch out for ‘little guy’
To the editor:
Not too long ago, a Republican
representative shouted, “You lie.”
The Democrats and compliant
media were in high dudgeon,
superciliously denouncing the
loss of civility in governance.
Now, we witness these same
Democrats
comparing
the
Republicans to terrorists. Legislative maneuvers are likened to
hostage taking.
And the media? Crickets. No
outrage here. In fact, the most
outrageous Democrat declarations are not even reported. Con-
sider these few: Republicans as
“arsonists,” “anarchists,” “extortionists,”
“blackmailers,”
“hostage-takers.” It’s open season on Republicans and the
“looney left” are in full-throated
condemnation.
Of what? A simple observations is this:
The president, of his own volition and unilaterally, grants
exemptions and extensions to
certain groups in the country,
regardless of the laws’ specific
applicability. When Republicans
propose a corresponding exten-
sion to individuals, the Democrat response is, “That is unacceptable and we are not negotiating.” The result is the Senate,
in lockstep with its majority
leader, Sen. Harry Reid, shut
down the federal government.
Ponder that, dear reader. A
proposal to extend to the individual, precisely what the President has done, selectively, on his
own, is unacceptable. Why?
Welcome to Democrat civility
and concern for the “little guy.”

Car plows through front of Lou Lou’s Décor
Elderly driver treated
for minor injuries
A local elderly woman was treated for minor injuries after the car
she was driving plowed through
the front of Lou Lou’s Décor Friday morning at 100 Clock Tower
Square.
Police said the car, driven by
Katherine Karanikolas, 85, of
Portsmouth, was leaving the parking lot when its driver’s side struck
part of the curb. The driver panicked and attempted to stop the
vehicle, but the car accelerated
when she tried to apply the brake,
police said.
The car then hit the driver’s side
of another parked vehicle, jumped
the curb, went through some
bushes and collided into the front
entrance of Lou Lou’s Decor,
where it came to a stop, police
said.
The driver, who was easily extricated by rescue workers, sustained minor bruising to her chest
area and was taken to Newport
Hospital. The car sustained disabling damage to its front end and

Friday, Oct. 4
Michael E. Dodd, 30, of 309 Chases
Lane, Apt. B, Middletown, was charged
with receiving stolen goods at about
10:30 p.m. Earlier that day, around 2:30
p.m., an officer responded to a Water
Street residence for a report of a suspicious male party looking through windows of several homes. Police said they
found Mr. Dodd walking on Child Street,
then saw him throw a blue object behind
a stone wall. Police later found the object
— a blue jewelry box with cuff links and
other jewelry inside. Mr. Dodd claimed a
friend had given him the box and since
no residents had reported anything missing at that point, police let Mr. Dodd go.
Shortly afterward, however, a homeowner reported the jewelry box missing, and
a warrant was issued for Mr. Dodd’s
arrest. He was later detained by Middletown police before being transferred to
Portsmouth.
Firefighters assess the situation at Lou Lou’s Décor Friday.

roof, and its air bags were
deployed.
The damage to the building and
the store was significant but did
not compromise the structure, as
the driver managed to miss loadbearing columns, Deputy Fire
Chief Michael O’Brien said. The
car missed an employee inside the
store by only about 10 feet, said
Deputy O’Brien. The employee
was not injured, but shaken up
from the close call, he said.
The Portsmouth building and
electrical inspectors cleared the
commercial building to be reoccupied and the scene was released
to property owners once the vehicle was removed.

Getting the most from Social Security
Plan well, retire well.
That’s the motto of Josh Wells, president of Euclid
Financial Services, who stresses that knowing how to
maximize Social Security benefits is critical to building a sound retirement package.
While some people believe that Social Security may
go the way of the dinosaur before long, it is still one
of the most important sources of income for retirees,
according to Wells.
There are more questions than ever about Social
Security, and one of the most frequent is, “When
should I apply for Social Security benefits?” There is
a lot to consider before you receive Social Security,
and when to start collecting benefits may be the single most important decision you make.
In fact, timing could be everything!
Social Security benefits makeup 20% to 50% of
retirement income for many middle-income married
couples, with lifetime benefits reaching upward of
$500,000. Social Security is adjusted for inflation,
and it is backed by the government and guaranteed
for life.
It makes sense to maximize such a vital asset, Wells
has shown clients how to earn tens of thousands of
dollars more over the span of your retirement. Here
are some core concepts and techniques on which Josh
concentrates to help his clients get the most out of
Social Security.
ACTUARIAL CREDITS
At age 66, you can receive your full Social Security
benefits, but you are eligible to receive 75% of full
benefits at 62. If you delay the onset of benefits
past age 66, you earn delayed actuarial credits
until age 70. Those credits increase your benefits
by 8% per year so that at age 70 you receive 132%
of your full benefits.
SPOUSAL STRATEGIES
Married couples can tag-team each other’s benefits.
One spouse can delay his or her benefits, allowing
them to grow by claiming “spousal benefits.” Once
the delayed benefits reach their maximum level, the
spouses can switch. The average married couple
leaves about $120,000 in retirement and spousal benefits on the Social Security table. It does not have to be
that way. With a little planning and an eye on your
goals, retirement really can be the golden years.
LIFE EXPECTANCY
That is one of the most over looked, yet one of the
most important factors in the Social Security decision
making process. Because men and women are living
*Paid Advertisement
longer, the second biggest question we face is: “How
do I not out live my money?” Real planning, that’s
how. The average man now lives to age 76, which is
up from just a few years ago, and women live even
longer. So do not hope to die early, plan to live
longer.
LOOKING AHEAD
Tax-saving vehicles can protect your income and
grow your retirement fund. Remember to plan for
required minimum distributions that you or you and
your spouse will need to live comfortably and enjoy
activities and hobbies.
EVALUATE ASSETS
Look at all assets as a whole. When planning for
retirement, you have to account for all your money,
not just Social Security. All your assets have to work
as one.
When it comes to choosing the right Social Security
income path, it is wise to have an expert help you navigate the maze of options. To learn more about Social
Security and the strategies available to maximize benefits, attend one of Josh’s lectures. If you reference this
ad, he will mail you a free ticket to attend.

Seen several weeks ago when it topped an estimated 1,300 pounds, Ed
Giarrusso’s pumpkin awaits picking in its Prudence patch.
Pumpkin pride of Prudence
bound for weigh-off
Giant gourd tops off at
more than 1,300 pounds
Hope springs eternal on the
pumpkin patch and Prudence
Island’s Ed Giarrusso is optimistic
that his 1,300-plus-pound monster will stay healthy and keep
packing on the pounds until Saturday’s weigh-off at Frerichs Farm
in Warren.
It’s not as big as the 1,422pounder he scored sixth with last
year, but that may not matter.
“I’ve heard that some of the
biggest competitors have had a
tough summer — lost their
biggest pumpkins,” Mr. Giarrusso
said.
“It was way too wet for awhile,”
then hot and humid with not
enough sun, he said. “Just not the
best for growing.”
He credits hard work and good
luck for the fact that some of his
big pumpkins kept gaining
weight.
Ron Wallace of Greene, who
made headlines last October with
a world record 2,009-pounder,
won’t be there.
“That changes things too — he
always does well,” said Mr. Giarrusso.
He helped the cause this year by
installing a 55-gallon drum with a
pump system that enables him to
mix and spray the rich blend of
feed and fertilizer in a less backbreaking way. He says he added a
touch more cow and chicken
manure this year, but otherwise
the blend was about as usual.
His second-best effort this season, an 1,100-pounder, went to
the Topsfield Fair. He grew that
one with seeds from last year’s
1,422-pound pumpkin.
A seed shared by Mr. Wallace
produced the pumpkin that Mr.
Giarrusso will enter in Warren.
He said he will pick the pumpkin Friday, load it carefully into his
pickup truck with lots of help, and
then bring it over on the Saturday
morning ferry.
“At this point you can just hope
for the best,” he said. “A lot of work
goes into these things and a lot
can happen.”
The Pumpkin Weigh-Off starts
at noon on Saturday, Oct. 12, at
Frerichs Farm, 65 Kinnicutt Ave.,
Warren. (The rain date is Sunday,
Oct. 13.) There will be live music
by The Whippets from 9 a.m. to
noon. Parking is $5 and food and
beverages will be available.

PHS girls find second half strength for soccer win over Barrington
Boys’ team loses in
Tuesday’s doubleheader
BY ERIC DICKERVI T Z
edickervitz@eastbaynewspapers
The Portsmouth High School
girls’ soccer team increased its
season record to 6-2-1 after a second half surge on Tuesday night
that gave them a 3-1 victory over
Barrington.
The Lady Eagles took command
during the first half, positioning
themselves to steal Patriot passes
and demonstrated skilled ball
handling among the players to
keep the ball near the Portsmouth
net. But even with a dozen scoring
opportunities, Barrington could
manage only a few attempts on
goal, none of which got the ball
past Portsmouth’s goalkeeper and
into the back of their net.
With no score going into halftime, Portsmouth coach Jim
Blaess talked with his players,
resulting in a pivotal change that
brought a renewed sense of
urgency into the Patriots’ game
that put them in control.
Minutes into the second half,
Patriots’ striker Kelly Coyne was
fed the ball from Leah Hibbad and
booted it solidly into the Eagles’
net. The 1-0 lead fueled the
Portsmouth team, whose passes
and ball handling became noticeably stronger and more accurate.
Deeper into the second half,
Coyne was fed the ball from
defender, Hannah Taylor, and
added another Patriots’ goal.
Opting to keep the girls in the
game with few substitutions, the
Barrington team appeared to be
tiring while the Patriots’ 2-0 lead
and more frequent substitutions
provided
energy
to
the
Portsmouth team.
Portsmouth’s final goal was
scored by Hibbad on a pass from
striker Jessica Kaufman. Then,
with two minutes left in the game,
Barrington midfielder Caroline
Larisa scored the only Eagles’ goal,
ending the game 3-1.
Mr. Blaess credited his midfielders, Jessica Kaufman, Madeline
Chamard and others for some of
the turnaround in the second half.
“Our defenders always play well.
The midfielders are our unsung
heroes,” he said.
After “a little bit of firing up”
during halftime, Mr. Blaess said
the midfielders’ transitions created the opportunities for a stronger
offensive attack.
Portsmouth will face undefeated LaSalle Academy on Thursday,
Oct. 10.
Boys’ soccer
The boys’ soccer team lost to the
Barrington Eagles in Tuesday’s
doubleheader, knocking their season record to 2-7. The Eagles’ sole
goal came in the first half of the
game.
NEWTOWN: PHS team reaches out to wounded Conn. community
From Page 1
“There was a lot of community
support,” said Mr. Blaess. “The inn
at Newport donated free rooms
and we have some tourist event in
Newport for (the Newtown team).
Everything just came together
really easy and here we are.”
Although it was a friendly game
for charity, the game was competitive because of the high quality of
both teams. PHS took a 1-0 lead
into half time after a rocket of a
shot from outside the 18-yard box
by junior Natalie Yaw in the 12th
minute. Newtown came back to
take a 2-1 lead on goals from
junior Brenna Kelly and senior
Kerry Scallon and eventually won
the game.
“It was so great,” said Lindsey
Jagoe, senior captain for Newtown, commenting on PHS’s gesture. “The whole experience, we
are just so thankful. It’s a really
great thing for them to reach out
to our community.”
Another one of the positive
aspects of this event was the money raised by Portsmouth for the
Newtown International Center for
Education, a parent and community organization that supports
teacher scholarships and professional development to bring
resources to their classrooms.
“So far we are at about $2,500,”
said Mr. Blaess. “Our goal is
$5,000, so hopefully we get there.”
When asked how the Newtown
community is coping less than a
year after the mass school shooting, Miss Jagoe said, “We are doing
well. Ever since the tragedy of
Sandy Hook, our town has come
together a lot. A lot of people have
reached out to us.”
Added Mr. Blaess, “Hopefully
the girls get a positive experience
out of it. That’s really what we
want. We just wanted to turn
something that was tragic into a
positive experience for them and
show them a good time.”

Former Portsmouth hoopster to play for Division 1 college
St. Andrew’s Henry Bolton
makes verbal
commitment to
Utah State
BY JIM MCGAW
[email protected]
Portsmouth High School basketball coach Joe Occhi said wunderkind Henry Bolton arrived as a
freshman out of nowhere several
years ago.
“Henry was a complete surprise.
I think he literally got here from
Japan the day of the tryouts,” said
Mr. Occhi, noting that Henry’s
mother, Zeporah Dasher, is in the
U.S. Navy and has moved around
quite a bit. “His mother went crazy
getting him eligible to actually try
out. You could see the player in
him right out of the gate. Just a
good kid, good player right from
day one.”
Now Henry, who spent two
years at PHS before moving on to
the private St. Andrew’s School in
Barrington, is making good on
that favorable first impression. On
Monday he announced his intention to play basketball next year
for Utah State University.
“It means a lot to me,” said the
6-foot-1-inch senior point guard
for St. Andrew’s. “The next part of
my life is starting right now.”
Henry wasn’t the only St.
Andrew’s hoopster to choose a
Division 1 school Monday, as forward Bonzie Colson II verbally
committed to Notre Dame.
“When they verbal to a school,
they end their recruiting with the
other schools,” explained Michael
Hart, head basketball coach and
director of athletics at St.
Andrew’s. “Then, in the second
week of November, they have a
signing period. It’s kind of like a
rite of passage for high school basketball and high school athletes in
general. It’s a big day. Their senior
year will be made up of keeping
their grades strong, preparing for
college and helping us win a
championship, hopefully.”
Henry said having a mother in
the military has actually helped
his game through the years.

Henry Bolton, who played two years of basketball for Portsmouth High
School, has verbally committed to Utah State University next year.
“I started playing basketball
when I was about 4 years old.
Since then, I’ve moved to so many
different places that I’ve acclimated to many different techniques to
my game as I’ve traveled with my
mom,” he said, adding that he’s
also lived in Virginia, Tennessee
and Japan, where he played on the
Navy base.
“I loved Japan; it was my favorite
tour. The kids were great. It was a
small base, but everybody in it
was friendly,” he said.
Now he lives on the St. Andrew’s
campus, as his mother is now stationed in Washington, D.C. “I love
St. Andrew’s. The campus is great,
the kids are great. I live with my
teammates, so it’s like home,” he
said.
Mr. Hart said Henry, a solid student and role model on campus, is
a prototypical guard.
“He can play the point, he can
play the two,” he said. “He’s in
great shape, he’s strong. (He’s a)
very good shooter, very good at
getting to the rim, and very good
defensively. I think he fits the
mold of the high-major, Division 1
guard.”
PHS lost another one
Henry is just one of several outstanding athletes to play for
Portsmouth High briefly before
going on to a private school.
Another is Andrew Chrabascz, a
former teammate of Henry’s at
PHS before leaving for Cushing
Academy in Massachusetts.
“I keep in touch. He’s at Butler
(University) right now. We see
each other from time to time,”
said Henry.
While Mr. Occhi regrets seeing
such good players leave the public
school system, he understands
why they do it.
“It’s totally mixed emotions,” he
said. “Of course you want to coach
these kids, but there are different
times when they need different
things, too. We understand, especially with the bigger kids like
Andrew. They need to bang
against bigger bodies, which you
don’t see in Rhode Island. There’s
good and there’s bad. The bad is
that it kind of dilutes the interscholastic league, which we can’t
do anything about. But it’s good to
have so many kids to have that
kind of success from such a small
community.”
PHS, he said, takes pride in
helping to produce so many star
athletes who have gone on to bigger and better things, and not just
in basketball. As a junior at Holy
Cross, John Pedrotty was selected
by the Arizona Diamondbacks in
the 13th round of the 2011 Major
League Baseball first-year player
draft. Another left-handed pitcher
from PHS, Southern New Hampshire University’s Tim Flight, was
selected by the New York Yankees
in the 17th round of the 2012 MLB
draft
Of course, everyone knows
about former PHS outfielder Ryan
Westmoreland, a five-tool player
who was selected by the Boston
Red Sox in the fifth round of the
2008 draft. The top prospect
announced his retirement from
professional baseball earlier this
year, however, after undergoing
two surgeries stemming from a
cavernous malformation on his
brain.
Like those former PHS stars,
Henry would like to play professionally after college.
“I wouldn’t mind at all,” said
Henry. “It’s a job, so if that time
comes I’m definitely down for it.”
Whatever happens with his basketball career, Henry’s former
coach at PHS will be following his
progress.
“I’ve been keeping track of him,
watching the box scores,” said Mr.
Occhi.
Cross-country teams finish with winning records
boys’ and girls’ cross-country
teams finished their regular season meets on Monday, with both
teams lodging victories against
Mt. Hope and St. Raphael in a dual

The girls, meanwhile, defeated
Mt. Hope, 24-35, and St. Raphael,
19-43.
PHS boys’ team now has a 7-2

third in its Metro Division, which
has 11 teams. Both Patriots teams
finished behind LaSalle Academy
and Barrington High School.
The boys’ and girls’ teams will
prepare for their next challenge on

The Escobar family’s annual
maize maze is open at 255 Middle
Road for its 14th season. The popular labyrinth celebrates Portsmouth’s 375th birthday by being
in the shape of the anniversary
emblem.
Though the correct pathways
can be walked in under 30 minutes, most directionally challenged visitors — adults and children alike — will require about
one hour to travel through more
than two miles of twists and turns,
two bridges and 85 decision
points.
The Maize is open through Nov.
3 on Fridays from 3:30 p.m. to
dusk, Saturdays from 10 a.m. to
dusk and Sundays from 11 a.m. to
dusk (and from 10 a.m. to dusk on

Field trip hours, during weekdays,
are available by reservation.
The cost is $7 for ages 12 and up,

children under 5. Discounts are
offered for civic groups and field
trips. For more information, or to
make reservations, call Lori Clarke
at 864-1064 or visit www.escobarshighlandfarm.com or www.
cornfieldmaze.com.
A special Harry Potter Day is on
Saturday, Oct. 12, from noon to 4
p.m., with a raindate for Sunday,
Oct. 13.
Activities will be set up inside
and outside the maze. Come
dressed as a character and receive
$1 off admission. As you enter the
maze, get sorted into Hufflepuff,
Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Griffindor
and earn points later in the day at
the A-MAiZING Wizard Tournament. While in the maze, stop at
Hog’s Head to quench your thirst.
Professor Snape’s potions class
will be held in the field at 12:30
sharp. Don’t be late! Mad Science
of Southeast Massachusetts and
Rhode Island will teach the class.
At 2 p.m., URI’s Quidditch team,
The Rhody Ridgebacks will put on
a quidditch demonstration. Then,
at 3:30, it’s an A-MAiZING Wizard
Tournament.
For those who choose not to get
lost in the maze, stop by Gringott’s
Bank to exchange your Muggle
money so you can purchase a
wand suitable for you at Ollivander’s Wand Shop. And please don’t
forget to visit Honeydukes to satisfy that sweet tooth.
In October, The Maize will take
on a Halloween twist, with a Halloween costume party. Hayrides,
cow train rides, pumpkin picking,
scarecrow-making and pumpkin
painting are available on weekends.
Interactive “passports” are available for a minimal charge. Each
contains 10 questions that quiz
you on a chosen subject, and
those who answer the questions
correctly receive clues that guide
them along the correct path to the
exit.
Subjects include sports, boy
scouting, girl scouting, scriptural,
American history, interactive,
teambuilding, Halloween, tiny
tots, and movies/music/TV.

Owners say they’ll close coal-fired Brayton Point Power Station
Called area’s ‘worst air
polluter’ by protesters
Brayton Point Power Station in
Somerset, the constant target of
protesters who decried it as the
region’s worst air polluter, will
shut down as of May, 2017.
That announcement came
Monday from Curt Morgan, president and CEO of Brayton Point
Energy LLC, the company that
recently purchased the coal-fired
facility. The firm purchased the
power plant several months ago
from Dominion to Energy Capital
Partners with the stated intent of
eventually converting it to natural
gas.
In their statement, the power
station’s owners cited low electricity prices, abundant natural gas,
and looming costs “to meet environmental regulations and to
operate and maintain an aging
plant.” The firm said it will continue to supply power to the grid
until its closing.
Brayton Point employs just
under 250 people in Somerset and
surrounding towns.
“We understand the impacts
that this decision … will have on
TED HAYES
The Brayton Point power plant dominates northern Mt. Hope Bay.
the employees of Brayton Point,
the local community and other
stakeholders,” Mr. Morgan said,
adding that they will do their best
to ease the transition.
“I’ll believe it when I see it,” said
Rep.
Ray
Gallison
(Portsmouth/Bristol) of the
announcement.
He said the 2017 date leaves “too
much time for something else to
happen … a lesson learned in the
LNG fight.” Brayton Point’s electric rate permit could be re-set in
May, 2016 “and a lot can happen
between now and then.” He said
that the town of Somerset likely
won’t take the loss of jobs and a
$16 million payment in lieu of tax-
es lying down. And the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
might step in if it felt adequate
power supply to be at risk.
“It’s great news but I’ll believe it
when I see the lights turned off
and the doors locked. Given what
they have spent, I can’t see them
just walking away.”
Senator
Walter
Felag
(Warren/Tiverton/Bristol) said,
“This is truly a victory for the local
environmental area, both in the
air quality and the Mt Hope Bay
ecosystem. Coal-fired power facilities are obsolete and need to be
replaced.”
No sooner had the announcement been made than press
releases began flying from environmental groups that have
staged numerous protests there,
the most memorable of which
involved anchoring a fishing boat
in the path of an incoming coal
ship. Groups had been predicting
such an outcome as the power
plant posted dire earnings predictions — $3 million in losses were
forecast for next year.
“Brayton Point is the largest and
most modern coal-fired power
plant in New England. If they can’t
make a go of it, none of them can
… This is a death knell for coal in
the region,” said Jonathan Peress,
vice president of the Clean Energy
and Climate Program for the Conservation Law Foundation. “It’s a
very clear indication that coal-fired
power is no longer economically
viable.”
“Now the hard work begins in
transitioning this former coal community towards a 21st century
innovation economy. We will con-
tinue to work alongside community members for resources to move
Somerset into a healthy and thriving future,” said Clean Water
Action Massachusetts.
“Families in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island will breathe easier
when this plant is no longer belching harmful pollution into the air.
It’s critical that ECP and our state’s
leaders work to ensure a responsible transition plan that cares for
the community and workers that
will be affected when the plant
retires,” said James McCaffrey of
the Sierra Club of New England.
The shutdown announcement
comes not long after Dominion
spent over $1 billion to upgrade the
plant. Two mammoth cooling towers, the tallest structures around
and visible from Massachusetts
and East Bay towns, were built to
reduce water discharge temperatures into Mount Hope Bay that
were blamed for killing off fish and
other creatures. Air “scrubbing”
equipment was added to reduce
pollution levels that the Environmental Protection Agency called
the worst in New England. And
some oil and natural gas were
added to the fuel mix.
According to published reports,
coal accounts for about 3 percent
of electricity produced in the
region compared to 52 percent for
natural gas. Nationwide, however,
coal provided almost 45 percent of
power produced in 2010, according to the U.S. Energy Information
Administration.
Tax revaluation underway
You should be seeing a stranger on your property sometime soon.
Appraisers working for the town will soon begin the field review
phase of the property tax revaluation that will be used as the basis for
the 2014 tax bills.
The Town of Portsmouth has contracted with Vision Government
Solutions to conduct a statistical property tax revaluation. Since May,
Vision has been analyzing sales transactions that were recorded with
the town, and that information will be used to determine its pricing
tables and new valuations.
The field review will be conducted over the next few months. Vision
employees will view each property from the exterior to verify the information on record with the town and to ensure that the proposed assessment reflects its market value.
In some cases, they may need to access a homeowner’s driveway in
the vehicle in order to safely get an exterior view of the property. All
Vision employees will carry ID cards and their vehicles are on file with
the Police Department and Tax Assessor’s Office.
The last revaluation for the town was conducted in 2010. The new
assessments will reflect the company’s estimate of the market value of
each property as of Dec. 31, 2013.
Property owners will be notified of their proposed new assessment at
the completion of the revaluation project. Those who disagree with
their assessments may request a meeting to review it with a company
representative.

approach to teaching,
the Wolf School
embraces children who
don’t fit other places

Farley
stands before her
class. Eight students are seated
in desks, facing
her. She explains
their next task —
writing letters to peers at the Paul
Cuffee School in Providence.
While she’s talking, many of the
sixth-graders have questions.
“Emily, awesome quiet hand,”
she says to a girl with her hand
raised.
A minute later, to another girl in
the room, Ms. Farley says, “Ariana,
nice quiet hand.”
After Ariana is done talking, Ms.
Farley says, “Beautifully said. I
couldn’t say it better myself.”
Ms. Farley is not repeating herself, nor is she spreading faint
praise. She’s teaching inside the
Wolf School, a K-to-8 school with
its own language, its own culture
and a totally unique approach to
teaching children who were failing
many other places.
With eight students, this is a large
classroom for the Wolf School. Ms.
Farley has a teaching assistant and
a speech therapist in the room with
her. She’s been teaching there so
long she doesn’t recognize the
irony when she says they will be
breaking into “small groups” to
work on their letters.
As she announces the pairings —
“Francisco and Tom will be with
me at the back table” — Tom raises
his hand.
“Yes, Tom, nice quiet hand,” she
says.
“Paula,” he says [students call
their teachers by their first names].
“You know Tom and I have problems working together.” Tom asks
for a one-on-one to discuss this
with his teacher. When she’s done
instructing and the room comes
alive with students moving to their
work areas, Tom moves to a far corner of the room to wait for her.
Within a few minutes, she’s over
there, leaning in, listening to Tom.
Grade 4 teaching assistant Lindsay Brisson helps student Brianna B. with her laptop (and her hair). Brianna often uses headphones in class to filter
out extra noise and help her focus.
Tall and thin, with blond hair, he
tells Ms. Farley quietly about his
problems working with “Fran.”
Francisco, meanwhile, sits at the
back table with a laptop, getting
started on his letter. Francisco is
shorter than Tom, heavyset, with
glasses. The Tom/Paula conversation is loud enough that Francisco
can hear it. Without looking up, his
head bent over the keyboard, Francisco says, “Tom, I know you can
do it, buddy.”
Two minutes later, his conversation with Ms. Farley is complete,
and Tom is ready to work. He sits
down near Francisco, who looks up
and says, “I knew you could do it,
buddy. I had faith in you.”
It’s a singular moment in a single
classroom on an ordinary day in
September. It’s nothing special.
Yet it is everything special.
In another school, Tom and
Francisco might not be friends. In
another school, Tom and Francisco
might not even have friends. They
would be prime targets for bullies.
In this school, there are no bullies.
Welcome to the Wolf School.
Their son couldn’t learn
Founded in 1999 by parents who
were frustrated when their son
struggled in traditional educational systems, the Wolf School has
always been different. The first
class had three students and two
teachers. It takes its name from the
student who inspired it — Otto
Wolf Wallerstein.
His parents, Andy and Mary
Wallerstein, started the school
when their son was 7 years old.
They watched him and the school
grow together, adding classrooms
and students, buying a permanent
home in the Rumford section of
East Providence, and honing the
philosophy that guides the school
today.
Otto is now a grown man doing
well in life, and the school that
bears his name is doing well, too.
Wolf has 50 students spread from
Kindergarten to Grade 8. They
could handle a few more students,
but this is close to their ideal size.
They inhabit a former East Providence elementary school that sits
snugly in a residential neighborhood. A single brick building
blends the old and the new, including a state-of-the-art gym and
“sensory room” (more on that later), a prominent turtle tank, a gorgeous flower garden and a cute
playground.
They have nearly enough desktops and laptops for every student.
Staff turnover is minimal. Leadership is strong.
The most difficult task for Wolf is
finding students — the right students. Wolf officially calls them
“complex learners.” Unofficially,
these are students with an array of
challenges that are magnified within traditional classrooms.
Wolf School students have difficulties in the areas of language,

sensory processing and social
skills. Many of them struggle
socially. They don’t know how to
talk to their peers. They miss social
cues. They don’t make eye contact
or understand personal space.
They struggle to find friends. Navigating the complexities of a traditional school — with crowded
halls, screaming cafeterias, playground bullies, frenzied gym classes and 24 to a classroom — can be
a nightmare.
They struggle. They fall behind.

GUIDE TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS
The Wolf culture, built block by block
Through language and tactics,
the Wolf School creates a vibe totally its own. Here’s how:
LANGUAGE: The school has its
own dialogue. In every classroom,
in hallways, in the gym, you hear
the same terms over and over and
over.
■ “Quiet hand”: raising your
hand to speak in class
■ “Whole body listening”: showing that you are engaged and open
to listening
■ “Strategies”: each student’s
unique tactics to deal with their
own stresses or weaknesses
■ “Expected/Unexpected”: part
of Michelle Garcia Winner’s ‘Social
Thinking’ curriculum that permeates the school, this describes
actions that are appropriate for not
appropriate for the time and place.
POSITIVE MODELING: Teachers don’t spend a lot of time correcting students who show poor
behavior; they endlessly praise
those who are. Example: In a physical education class, teacher Mike
LaRose had about 10 students seated around him on the gym floor.
One was lying on his back, looking
up at the ceiling. Instead of scolding the one, he said, “I see of lot of
great examples of whole body listening.”
RESPECT: The teachers show
their students tremendous respect.
Example: In a second-grade classroom, teacher Marci Haines was
working on a math problem at a
table with two students. As Jack
was trying to process 12-6 (and get-

ting pretty close to the answer),
Mattie started talking. Ms. Haines
turned to him and said, “Mattie,
I’m going to ask you to freeze,
because Jack W. is in the middle of
thinking. Is that okay?” Without
speaking, Jack gave her a thumbs
up. “Thank you,” she said. The
respect goes further. A minute later,
Mattie said to his teacher, “Jack is
doing a really good job.”
SCHEDULES: Each classroom
has its own fixed and structured
schedule. Blocks of time run to the
minute, and teachers use timers to
let students know when they are
starting and stopping each block.
Many of these students need that
sort of predictability and rhythm.
OPENNESS: Everyone has challenges, and no one is afraid to talk
about them. All these students are
here for a reason, and Wolf teaches
them why. They talk openly about
each student’s needs and why they
struggle to learn. The students
learn to recognize their own challenges, and most importantly, how
to self-regulate and self-correct.
Ariana Hoegen learned to ask for
help (instead of flipping over
desks). She also learned to sing
(she loves singing) when the stress-
es become too much.
TEAMWORK: Each grade has a
head teacher and at least one
teaching assistant for every four to
eight students. In addition, speech
and occupational therapists spend
hours per day in every classroom.
At any moment, there may be four
professionals and eight students in
a room, and the space moves like
an orchestra. Teachers and learning specialists shift from student to
student, table to desk to computer
station to whiteboard, in a continuous educational dance.
TEACHER/STUDENT RATIO: It’s
absurdly high. This school with 50
students has 30 teachers or learning specialists. A 2:1 teacher/student ratio is common.
PLANNING: The staff plan constantly. Each team meets for at
least an hour and 20 minutes each
week (it’s built into their schedules), and they talk and e-mail
throughout the day, evenings,
nights and weekends.
FUN: A week before this school
year started, faculty and staff
boarded a yellow school bus for a
mystery field trip. Head of School
Anna Johnson sent them bowling
for a team-building exercise. “Pizza Fridays” are wildly popular,
when parents organize, order and
distribute pizzas room to room on
a rolling cart. Students take field
trips regularly. They go grocery
shopping together (helping develop life skills). Several classrooms
go therapeutic horseback riding
weekly.
WOLF: Students who struggle elsewhere find a home here

demanding classrooms and the
constant communication between
teachers, administrators and parents. “The communication here is
intense,” she said, but added, “You
don’t work here if you don’t love it.”
Asked why she loves it, she said,
“It’s such a supportive, child-based
atmosphere … You literally see kids
grow, minute by minute, in front of
you. It’s amazing.”
They get ostracized. They go home
angry and crying. Their parents
can’t understand them. They fail.
The Wolf School welcomes these
kids, but not because they fail.
They welcome students who have
the potential to succeed. The most
severe cases cannot attend Wolf.
They would be too disruptive to
the classrooms. The right student is
capable of learning, with average to
above average cognitive abilities,
but struggling in the traditional
school setting.
“These kids struggle to make
friends. They don’t get invited to
birthday parties,” said Interim
Head of School Anna Johnson. “If
they don’t have friends, if they don’t
have self-esteem, if they don’t have
confidence, they can’t learn.”
Getting ready to leave
Classrooms in motion
Wolf classrooms can be in constant motion, sometimes deliberately, sometimes unexpectedly.
The Kindergarten and Grade 1
classrooms have six students combined this year. During a language
block one morning, kindergarten
head teacher Leah Valentine sat at
a table with two students. Using
large cards with individual letters,
she placed the cards on the table to
form three-letter words and challenged two boys to say the words.
A few feet away, a third boy followed a computer program that
taught him letters. In the classroom next door, Grade 1 head
teacher Lisa Jones worked one-onone with a boy at a white board.
Nearby, behind a colorful partition,
teaching assistant Maureen Quinn
sat at a table with two boys. They
had read the popular book “Don’t
Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus,” and
she was asking them questions.
“What’s something else the
pigeon cannot do?” she asked.
Owen said, “Don’t let the pigeon
watch TV.” Chase said, “Don’t let
the pigeon go to the fire station”
[they had just returned from a class
field trip to an East Providence fire
station].
“These ideas are amazing!” Ms.
Quinn said.
Moments later, Ms. Jones was in
the hallway with first-grader Kinan.
On the floor, in the middle of the
hallway, she had placed one-foot
pads, each containing one of the
five vowels. As she said a one-syllable word, she asked Kinan to jump
to the appropriate vowel.
“Champ,” she said.
Kinan looked up, gathered himself and leaped two spots to ‘A.’
“Shut.”
He turned around and jumped
to ‘U.’
“Oh my goodness, you’re like a
cheetah, jumping so far,” she said.
This exercise is not uniquely Wolf
School, but the setting is. The hallways are quiet. The building is quiet. Kinan can leap through the hallway, practicing his vowels for 10
minutes, and not interrupt anyone,
nor be interrupted.
It is deliberately quiet. Because
their students have sensory processing issues, they like it that way.
“Some of our students can’t eat
lunch in a cafeteria because it’s
sensory overload,” said the interim
head of school, Ms. Johnson. “So
we don’t have a cafeteria. We don’t

have an auditorium. Our gym is
specially designed for sound
reduction.”
The sensory room
Off the gym is Wolf’s “sensory
room.” A casual observer might call
it a playroom; it’s a playroom with a
purpose.
On a recent morning, four firstgrade boys were in the sensory
room. Occupational therapist
Andrea Horgan rotated them
through four stations — a bench
swing, a tire swing, a hammock
and a seat swing. There’s also a 10foot-high rock wall. The movements are not random.
As Ms. Horgan explained, some
kids are naturally sluggish, with low
motors, especially in the morning.
In Wolf lingo, these kids are normally in the “yellow zone.” Other
kids are often overstimulated, with
high motors, the types you see literally bouncing off the walls. In
Wolf lingo, these kids are normally
in the “red zone.”
In order to learn, Wolf wants
these boys in the “green zone.” The
sensory room helps get them there.
The sensory room apparatus target
the vestibular and proprioceptive
senses — in common language,
they help the “yellow” kids rev up
to green, and the “red” kids throttle
down to green. It helps them get
ready to learn.
This concept permeates the
school. Students who need sensory
feedback may sit at a chair with
“thera bands” across the legs.
They’re basically large rubber
bands that the students can press
their legs or feet against throughout the day.
Other students who have trouble
sitting still may sit on an inflated
rubber pad, so they shift and
squirm and move without actually
getting out of their seats.
Students with oral needs are
allowed to chew gum or suck on
candies throughout the day.
And then there are the “movement breaks.” Wolf schedules them
throughout the day. In the seventhgrade classroom one day, head
teacher Maureen Gagne had all
nine students stand up and find an
open spot in the classroom. For
about 10 minutes, she lead them
through a series of squats,
pushups, lunges and other exercises.
For students who struggle sitting
for 20 minutes at a time, the exercises set the table for a new academic block. As soon as they were
done, and the heavy breathing
stopped, students chose a color
and tried describing their feelings
about that color.
Relentless planning
Administratively, nothing happens by chance at Wolf. Faculty
spend a remarkable amount of
time planning their days. They

well, or not so well, with another
child. They know which one is
working above their grade level,
and which one is below their level.

throughout the day and keep pace
with timers and strict schedules.
“There’s a lot of planning time,
really for each child,” said Grade 4
head teacher Amy Taft. A veteran of
the Newport public schools, she
came to Wolf three and a half years
ago and is now an enthusiastic
convert to the Wolf model.
Yes, it can be a very difficult job,
she said, between the planning, the

goal — get these children ready to
succeed in more traditional
schools, and in life, by the time
they leave.
Ask Wolf eighth-graders about
their school and the responses
sound like they come from the
school’s marketing department.
But they don’t. They’re off the cuff,
from middle school students in the
middle of a Thursday morning.
“Wolf really changed my life,” PJ
said. “The teachers here all care
about you. They want you to succeed. You get so much attention.”
Anthony, who is in just his second year at Wolf, had a rough time
in his previous school. “Over there,
people don’t help you … The kids
were being really mean to me.
Here, they help you.”
Noah said, “My learning has
improved … mostly because my
parents and teachers pay so much
attention to me.”
Anna Johnson, who was promoted to interim head of school earlier
this year, was the second teacher
hired at Wolf 14 years ago. She lives
and breathes this school, and she’s
seen scores of students leave Wolf
armed with strategies for success.
The academics are critically important, she said, but the social skills
and the confidence these children
attain, are priceless.
“These are kids who were melting down in the principal’s office in
other schools,” she said. “And they
honestly come skipping into
school here in the morning.
They’re just amazing kids. I’m so
proud of them.”
The model student
Bullies targeted Ariana Hoegen
when she was a third-grader.
“There were three girls ganging
up on me,” she
said.
“They
were being really mean and
calling
me
mean names
and stuff … I
went home sad
every day.”
Her
parents
enrolled her in
the Wolf School
in the fourth grade.
“On the first day, I was really
scared,” Ariana said. “But once I
came here, I felt so welcomed. All
the kids were greeting me and saying hi to me, and so were all the
teachers.”
Open dialogue is a trademark of
the Wolf School. The teachers talk
to the students about why they
struggle. And they teach them
“strategies” to overcome those
struggles.
“Everyone learns differently,”
said Ariana, now a sixth-grader. “I
learn visually and verbally.”
Ariana has a “strategy binder,”
full of her own strategies for success. They seem to be working.
Though she entered the school
struggling in many ways (she
would occasionally flip over a desk
or slam a classroom door), Ariana
is an outspoken model student
these days. She’s reading at grade
level and says her life is better.
“I’m doing way better,” she said.
“They taught me how to make
friends … It takes at least a year to
learn the strategies and how to use
them. It’s helped me so much, but
it’s also helped my sisters and my
parents.”
Now Ariana tries helping others.
At a soccer game recently, she met
a girl a little younger than her who
struggles with language. “I told her
all about my school. I told her we
can help her,” Ariana said.

Classroom lessons linger when
students get their hands dirty
BY CHRIST Y NADALIN
“Experiential learning” is a new name
for an old concept: providing hands-on
learning opportunities that connect
classroom work to outside-the-classroom
activities. Experiential learning makes
lessons more real and relevant; and educators know from experience, that makes
information stick.
“Doing something—rather than just
hearing or reading about it—makes it that
much more memorable,” says Nellie Walcoff, Director of Communications at the
Providence Country Day School. The 10acre, forested Nature Lab at the East Providence independent school is an perfect
example of the integration of experience
with classroom work. “We use the Nature
Lab across a range of disciplines, from
science and environmental studies, to
art,” says Ms. Walcoff. “For example, one
class is creating a bird book, documenting
the species found on campus.”
While many schools, both public and
private, provide for some amount of experiential learning, private schools are not
as locked into a rigid curriculum schedule, allowing for more room to create
experiential learning opportunities.
PCD’s Nature Lab is just one of many
examples of experiential learning incorporated into the curriculums of local
schools. Friends Academy, in Dartmouth,
has a prolific garden that you can read
about in this issue. The Pennfield School
in Portsmouth is able to incorporate the
adjacent greenways of the Aquidneck
Island Land Trust into their PK-8 curriculum. St. George’s School in Middletown
offers an ongoing semester-at-sea program aboard their boat “Geronimo,”
where students undertake specific
research projects while learning about life
at sea—and keeping up with their regular
lessons.
One characteristic that schools with
well-developed experiential learning programs tend to share is smaller class sizes,
which make it easier for teachers to customize and follow up on these learning
opportunities, when they present themselves. An additional, less-obvious benefit
is the personal growth of the student,
beyond academics. According to Ms. Walcoff, you see more students stepping up
into leadership roles. “A small community
with experiential learning opportunities
makes leadership roles available to a
wider range of students,” she says.
Math and science:
Do single-sex classrooms
support better outcomes?
There was a noted achievement gap between boys and girls in certain academic disciplines long before “Teen Talk Barbie” created an uproar for her 1992 verbal gaffe
“math class is tough!” Since then, the acronym STEM has become a regular fixture of
edu-speak. Standing for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, women have
shrunk the gap in these fields in recent years. Still, they represent half the workforce,
yet only a quarter of the workers in these traditionally higher-paying fields.
A group of University of Pennsylvania researchers traveled to South Korea to observe
the results of their single-sex and coed educational systems, publishing their results in
October 2012 in the journal “Demography.” For nearly 40 years, South Korean public
school students have been randomly assigned to single sex or coed classrooms. There
is no opt-out option for these assignments, and other variables remain equal. The findings were not surprising: both boys and girls in single-sex classrooms attended fouryear colleges at a higher rate than did their contemporaries in co-ed classrooms.
Why? Sometimes the best explanation is the simplest one: it may just be that less
members of the opposite sex=less distraction=better academic outcomes.
And while single-sex classrooms did lead to better results for girls in STEM courses,
what was even more surprising is that the results were even better for boys. That’s
right—removing the girls from the classrooms had an even more beneficial effect on
the boys’ scores and outcomes, a surprising result given that the STEM deferential may
be one of the key reasons why all-girls schools are vanishing at a slower rate than their
all-boys counterparts.
The National Association for Choice in Education does raise one concern with the
article: that one classroom structure is inherently better than another. According to the
NACE, “We believe that premise is fundamentally mistaken. The single-gender format
is better for some students, and coed is better for others.”
Ultimately each student is unique, and parents need to make the best decision for
each of their children. If you want to look further into single-sex education in Rhode
Island, there are three options: Bishop Hendricken (boys); or Lincoln School and St.
Mary Academy Bay View (girls). Contact information for all three schools can be found
on pages 8-10.

When Friends Academy Middle School
English teacher Steve Walach talks about
the work he does in the school’s community garden, he spews numbers:
■ 475 pounds of tomatoes harvested this
year
■ 285-day maturity cycle for winter carrots
■ 1 square foot of garden real estate
yields one pound of winter carrots and two
pounds of summer carrots
■ 5,000 pounds of produce will be harvested from the garden this year (compared with 4,497 pounds in 2010, the best
of years past)
■ More than 500 pounds of Portuguese
kale have been harvested for area soup
kitchens so far this year….
Clearly, to be capable of producing the
kind of yield that is coaxed from 1,900
square feet of bed space each season, one
needs to be mindful of the numbers. But
for Mr. Walach and his band of harvesting
helpers, that is only part of the story.
Current students, faculty, parents, past
parents and alumni have given their time
and expertise to help build a legendary garden filled with 10-foot sunflowers, and
multi-varieties of cabbage, cauliflower,
kale, tomatoes, squash, rutabaga, peppers,
lettuce, onions, and anything else you can
add to a pot of boiling water.
When all is said and done, the school’s
vegetable garden helps to feed its neighbors through weekly harvests of vegetables
that are delivered to the Grace Church
Food Pantry of New Bedford, and to soup
kitchens and food pantries in Pawtucket.
Bugs, blight and bok choi
Last fall, student volunteers battled a
tomato blight that arrived in mid-August,
and was probably caused by the extra mild
winter of 2012. “The beds really took a beating,” Mr. Wallach says, “and although we
harvested 475 pounds of tomatoes, we
should have had 200 pounds more.”
Students pulled out the blighted plants
by hand and then used broad forks to aerate the soil. The plants were not composted
as usual, but instead sent off to the landfill
where the offending fungus was likely to
have been killed off, given the cold conditions of last winter.
Organic gardens are subject to all kinds
of natural challenges, so Mr. Walach and his
team learn about and practice crop rotation, and feed the soil with a careful and
ever-evolving blend of organicallyapproved nutrients.
The key to increasing yield, it seems, is
the continued practice of using one wheel-

Friends harvests bumper crop
From FACING PAGE
barrow load of compost (approximately 5
cubic feet) per crop, per bed. The gardeners
also add greensand for potassium, blood
meal for nitrogen, and alfalfa meal for
nitrogen and potassium, with every planting.
If you really are serious about this stuff,
you will also want to know that they have
recently begun using “a slurry made from
soft rock phosphate — approximately six
diluted quarts per bed, per planting —
drenched and then sprayed with a special
mix of compost tea.” Perhaps this explains
why the garden’s yield ratios easily keep
pace or exceed those of area growers.
Work in the garden happens over a tenmonth cycle, from February to midDecember. The student labor pool comes
from a variety of sources. Groups of student
volunteers sign up for three-month stints
via the school’s Service-Learning program,
forming the backbone of the operation.
Mr. Walach also works with sixth-graders,
as part of their health curriculum. These
dedicated 10 and 11-year-olds plant, weed
and harvest from September to December,
sifting and loading wheelbarrows of compost and organic nutrients, and witnessing
the growth cycle in reverse, beginning with
the harvest in September October and
November, and moving into bed preparation for the following season. In the spring,
the season begins anew with the seeding of
onions and lettuces as early as February.
“A sixth-grader’s journey through the
school year parallels the 285-day life cycle

on nine dollars a week, as a laborer in a
Rhode Island textile mill during the
Depression. His large garden played a big
role in feeding the family,” Steve Walach
recounts in answer to a question about the
evolution of his passion for growing.
He has taken the garden, begun in 2006
to educate students about the importance
of locally grown food sources and the sustainability of natural resources, and has
grown it into a reliable source of fresh vegetables for local food pantries. “The garden
provides us with an evolving opportunity to
teach and demonstrate lessons in ecology,
eco-literacy, and community service to
young people,” he says.

A
New York investors buy Hunt Yachts
New York-based investment firm has purchased
Portsmouthbased boat builder Hunt Yachts
the company announced last
week.
Scout Partners, a joint venture
between David Howe and Peterson Capital LLC, bought Hunt for
an undisclosed sum.
In 2010 Scout purchased The
Hinckley Company, also headquartered
in
Portsmouth.
Now under common ownership,
the two companies will maintain
separate
identities
but
Bruce
work together,
according to a
BURDETT
news
release
announcing the sale. The most
immediate example will be “in the
Hinckley service yards which now
have a direct pipeline to Hunt
parts and technical advice to service Hunt products.”
Hunt Yachts President Peter Van
Lancker will continue to run the
company, which will now be
called Hunt Yachts LLC.
“I could not have designed a
better stage for the future of the
Hunt Yachts’ brand, legacy and
products than this new ownership
and partnership with Scout Partners and Hinckley,” Mr. Van
Lancker said.. “I can tell you that
David Howe and the Hinckley
team share the passion and
enthusiasm to ensure Hunt Yachts
of even greater growth, success
and innovation.”
Hunt Yachts was founded in
Massachusetts in 1998 to build
designs from C. Raymond Hunt
Associates, which pioneered the
deep-V hull shape for power
boats. C. Raymond Hunt Associates will remain the exclusive
designer of Hunt Yachts, which
moved to Rhode Island in 2004
and now employs about 50 people.
Peterson Capital was founded
by investor Peter G. Peterson,
founder of the Blackstone Group
and a former U.S. commerce secretary under President Richard M.
Nixon, whose foundation advocates reducing the national debt.
Smith wins Bud Humphrey
Colby Smith sailed October, a
Graves Constellation 30, to victory
in the 35th Bud Humphrey
Memorial Race on Sept. 29.
The fleet of 64 boats battled
light air from the start off Ohio
Ledge all the way around Prudence and only 20 boats managed
to finish.
Race organizer Tom Scott said
that earlier starters in the staggered-start race rode a dying and
shifty breeze down the west side of
the island. Those fortunate
enough to make it around the
south end were rewarded by a
change to southerly breeze and an
incoming tide.
Squaw, an S Boat sailed by
Angus Davis, was actually the first
boat to finish and the only boat
across the line within the 4 p.m.
limit with three minutes to spare
(otherwise there would have been
no race) but he later withdrew due
to an incorrect rating.
Other top-ten finishers were:
2. Bob Catani, Bramasole
3. Bob Wart, Avalon
4. Jack Welsh/Wiley Crockett,
Still Crazy
5. Stephen Smith, Dog Days
6. Rachelle Cambria, Swag
7. Chip Hawkins, Caneel
8. Joseph Lamora, Little Star
9. Steve Thurston, Mighty Puffin

Local firm to sell Tartans
The local yacht brokerage firm
of New England Yacht Partners
has expanded to represent the full
line of new Tartan Yachts.
New England Yacht Partners is a
joint venture between Barrington
residents Ham Freeman and Bill
Shaw Jr.
“The core business is and will
remain the brokerage of used sailing and power yachts,” Mr. Shaw
said, “but with the addition of Tartan, we will be able to offer a new
boat line.”
Tartan Yachts, based in Fairport
Harbor, Ohio, started in 1940 and
is comprised of nine sailboat
models, from the 26 foot daysailor to their flagship 5300.
Laser wins court round
Portsmouth-based LaserPerformance has beaten back an
attempt by two foreign firms to
sell what it says are protected
Laser class sailboats.
The company sued Optiteam
and Nautisch Centerum Delfzul
for infringing on Laser trademark
rights by illegally importing Laser
and Sunburst-branded boats and
parts for sale in Europe.
On Sept. 27, a Belgium court
ordered the two firms to cease
such sales and levied a fine.
Nautisch is a dinghy builder
that has been designated as an
authorized builder of the Kirby
Torch. That new name —for the
boat long known as the Laser —
has been introduced by Laser
designer Bruce Kirby who says
Laser Performance is not properly
Tartan yachts, like this 37-footer, will will now be sold by a Barrington-based firm..
compensating him for his design.
That issue, too, is being fought out
in the courts.
Hawks, Bears nationally ranked
Roger Williams University ranks
eighth in the latest Sailing World
co-ed dinghy national college
coaches’ poll. The Hawks are 12th
in the women’s poll.
Brown University stands 12th
and sixth respectively in the two
polls.

Warren-based USWatercraft, has

The company bills the boat as
“an exciting new departure from
traditional Downeast propulsion
systems, one whose range extends
“into shallow bays and waterways.” The boat is scheduled to
debut next spring.
“We are extremely excited about
expanding our market with the
combination of the True North
34’s stunning lines and new fourstroke outboard efficiencies and

Weatherby, USWatercraft vice

STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE
In baseball and politics, strong rivalries lead to better performance
R
egardless of how this
magical season ends,
the 2013 Red Sox will
always be thought of as a team
that lifted a city when it needed
a boost and
defied expectations all year
long, beating
teams that were
supposed to be
far superior. And
although the
Yankees have
Cara
been weak, the
CROMWELL rivalry with the
Rays has filled
the archenemy void nicely. I was
at Fenway last weekend for
game 2 of the ALDS against
Tampa Bay and the crowd taunt-
ed the right fielder as if he were
A-Rod. Whether it’s Army-Navy
(go Navy!) or Red Sox-Yankees,
having a team that’s sweet to
beat is part of what makes
sports compelling.
And while rivalries make games
interesting, making sure that
there’s competition in politics is
far more important. There has
been so much ink given to the
Rhode Island Republican gun raffle that I hesitate to wade into the
critical waters (although I hear it’s
warm), but the truth is that this is
less about the wisdom of the raffle and more about the long-term
consequences it will have on our
state.
Some from the RIGOP view the
gun raffle as a success: they raised

thousands, showed support for
the 2nd amendment and got
more free media than the party
has in recent memory. As the
moderate Republicans scrambled
to distance themselves from the
party, I was left wondering
whether the RIGOP is more concerned about being “right” or
winning races. I can think of very
few RI districts where a credible
candidate needs to advocate for
gun rights and dozens where the
majority of voters want to see
guns in the hands of law enforcement only. Making 2nd amendment rights a signature issue—
even for a week—has dragged the
party so far off message (which
should still be jobs and the lackluster economy) that attracting
viable candidates will be a chore.
Some of my Democratic friends
would argue that the RIGOP is
already irrelevant since certain
members of the Democratic party
are just like moderate Rhode
Island Republicans anyway. While
this may be true, the ranks of
those centrist Democrats are
thinning because they are targeted and “taken out” in low-interest, low-turnout primaries. For
Rhode Island, the irrelevance of
the RIGOP and the absence of
moderate Democrats would
mean that there’s no ideological
voice of dissent on issues like
tolling local bridges or unionizing
daycare workers. Bottom line: we
need discussion and debate to
ensure a healthy representative
democracy and we won’t have
that without Republicans or
moderates of either party.
As we settle into postseason
baseball, I’ll be on the edge of my
seat and excited to watch some
great games between competitive
teams. At the same time, I’m
rooting for candidates of every
stripe to sign up and take a turn
in our General Assembly. Let’s
hope that every party can field a
good team and create enough
debate so that the whole state
wins.

Weekend watch list
Whether you like to scare yourself silly or just relax and watch a
little post-season baseball, there is
some classic October viewing to
be seen this weekend.
At press time, game 3 of the
ALDS has yet to be played. But at
the risk of jinxing the entire postseason, it is looking as though the
Red Sox will be making an appearance at the ALCS, which will be
televised beginning this Saturday,
Oct. 12, with the hour to be determined. Games 1-4 are a certainty,
with game 2 on Sunday, Oct 13,
and games 3 and 4 on Tuesday and
Wednesday, Oct. 15 and 16. Fox.
(Yankees fans who don’t want to
watch the Red Sox laser show can
imagine what A-Rod will do when
he wins his suit against MLB and
his former team, tuning into Lifetime’s latest offering “Million Dollar Shoppers.” It’s about the wild
life of personal shoppers, catering
to their highly-compensated and
higher-maintenance clientele; 10
p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 15. Lifetime.)
The highly-anticipated premiere of season 4 of The Walking
Dead, “30 Days Without an Accident,” will air this Sunday. Yes, this
show is pretty graphic, and zombies are pretty revolting to behold,

dispatched with the shocking regularity needed to maintain the
cast of the living. But if you dismiss this show for that reason
alone, or because you are “just not
into zombies,” you will be missing
one of the tightest, best-written
character dramas on television.
Ever. So if you are looking for
something to fill the void left by
the end of “Breaking Bad,” tune in.
And if you have to watch through
the cracks between your fingers
with all the doors bolted and a
pickaxe on your lap, so be it. Airing at 9 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 13.

mounting, matting and framing. Common
materials such
as inexpensive
mat board, corrugated cardboard, rubber
Karen
glues,
WATERMAN cement,
masking or
transparent tape, etc. contain
ingredients which are chemically
unstable. These materials deteriorate over time and damage the
artwork they are in contact with.
The brown spots you are seeing
are called “foxing”. Foxing results
from humidity, leading to mold
spores. The damage on the edges
is from the cardboard it was
stored in. The acid from the cardboard has bled onto the artwork.
Paper is naturally absorbent and
will take in any gas or liquid that
surrounds it.
Avoid storing artwork in a
damp basement or attics with
inconsistent temperatures. Do
not hang artwork on an uninsulated outside wall, store near
plumbing or near a heat source.
What to do? Take it to a good
framer and if necessary, they will
recommend a conservator.
Unfortunately, if not caught early, the damage could be irreversible.
Q. I inherited this 7” teapot. It
has a stamp on the bottom but I
cannot make out what it says.
Can you identify it and tell me
what it could be worth?
A. Your teapot was made by the
Porcelier Manufacturing Company from Pennsylvania. The stamp
is from 1927-1949 and was one of
the earlier stamps they used.
Porcelier made a wide variety of
porcelain household goods
including electrical fixtures, waffle irons and teapots. Common
decorations are spring time flowers and woven baskets similar to
the body of your teapot. Others
found were selling between $25
and $40.

POLI-TICKS
GOP shoots itself in the foot
Game of Chance: A game of chance is any game in which the element of chance predominates over the element of skill in the possibility of winning a prize with pecuniary consideration being involved to participate.
S
o speaketh the “Rules and
Regulations Governing the
RI Games of Chance”
which is overseen by the Rhode
Island state police. How happy
law enforcement must be monitoring the R.I. GOP raffle where
the top prize is an AR-15 semiautomatic assaultstyle rifle. There
will be 4 shooting stations for
this “Family
Fun” day where
patrons will be
able to buy an
opportunity to
Arlene
shoot one or
VIOLET
more firearms,
including a Smith and Wesson
M&P 15, which is described as a
“civilian version” of the M16
semi-automatic military rifle.
Additional prizes include various
ammo rounds and gift certificates
for shooting supplies.
In defending the “fundraiser,”
GOP head Mark Smiley noted
that there needs to be some
addressing of mental health
problems so those not capable of
being in society can get some
help—yet the very nature of a raffle is it is win through pure
chance. Smiley’s actions speak
louder than words, as in this case,
no screening process is in place
for the winner(s). Perhaps there
should be some mental health
screening for the Republicans
who thought this was a good
idea.
There are some problems, for
sure, with the fundraiser. For
starters, the service of outside
promoters who are not permanent members of the applying
organization can’t be employed in
any way with the managing,
operating, or supervising or controlling the games of chance. Yet,
Mr. Smiley acknowledges that
NRA instructors will man the
shooting stations where a patron
“buys” the chance to shoot a
weapon. Query whether they
have been GOP members for at
least one full year under the regulation requirements of Reg. 1.5.
Games allowed under the regulations do not contemplate
weapons or ammo as the prizes.
This is not your father’s Bingo!
Most egregiously, however, is
the announcement of the
fundraiser around the same time
that a task force is convening to
examine how to keep guns out of
the hands of those with mental
illnesses which precipitate a
propensity to violence (not all
mental illnesses do). The GOP
has shown a way to avoid any
background check for felons or
for mental health problems by
holding a raffle. All the Aaron
Alexises of the world have to do is
buy a ticket to this “family
fundraiser.” Even promoting such
a day as a family event is a slap in
the face to the Newtown parents
who don’t think such easy access
to guns is something to celebrate.
There was a time when the
state Republicans use to have
some sense. It was moderate,
attuned to social justice and the
promotion of women, myself
included, for higher office. Now it
has become a reactionary group
that shows signs of melding with
the national Greatly Ossified Party. Both local and national
Republican leaders are clueless. A
wet kiss to the NRA isn’t the way
to elect officials.
There are nuances for every
issue that must be respected and
should be implemented in law to
protect the public. The GOP
seems incapable of such nuanced
analysis. Far too many of their
members come across as yahoos,
incapable of wielding a scalpel
instead of a hacksaw.
This latest caper by the state
GOP is an embarrassment.

DINING REVIEW
It’s very continental at Le Moulin Rouge
L
e Moulin Rouge is an
East Bay treasure that
spent years hidden in
plain sight in a triangle on Main
Road between the south and
north exits of Route 24. With the
new bridge in place, Main Road
carries drivers past as they exit
Route 24 heading south.
That’s a good thing, because
this is a restaurant you want to
know about. It offers an oldfashioned dining experience
with classical French and continental cuisine and lots of
seafood favorites, too. The large
barn red house with black trim
was a private residence built in
the 1920s, became a restaurant
in the 1950s and has been home
to Le Moulin Rouge since 1976.
The dining rooms are comfortable with wainscoted knotty
pine walls, hardwood floors,
white linens, candles and soft
music. The one to the right as
you enter must have been a
porch and has large glass windows decorated with floral balloon curtains overlooking the
miniature lighthouse in front.
We started with a glass of wine
from a large international list,
that includes half bottles, and
there are beers from France,
Holland and the United States,
along with a variety of martinis
and Le Moulin Bloom, a tasty
mix of vodka, St. Elder Liqueur
and cranberry juice with a twist
of lemon.
We started with a Nicolas
Chardonnay and a Folonari
Pinot Noir.
A savory cheese spread and
crackers were delivered to the
table by our waitress, Crissy,
along with a description of the
evening’s specials — cream of
tomato and basil soup, swordfish Française, Beef Wellington
and chicken Marsala.
The regular menu offers lots of
seafood choices, including
swordfish, sole Nantua, lobster
sauté, lobster Newburg, Shrimp
Festival (stuffed, Rockefeller,
Newburg, scampi and fried),
baked stuffed shrimp, baked
scrod, snow crab with seafood

Most popular dishes: Beef

Provençale, Swordfish
Française and Crispy Roast
Duckling Flambé Bigarade
stuffing, salmon Oscar, shrimp
scampi Provençale, and scallops
fried, broiled or St. Jacques.
Other entrées and specialties
are the frog legs Provençale, veal
or chicken Française, roast
duckling, veal Oscar, chicken
Cordon Bleu, chicken Florentine, filet mignon, sirloin steak,
Chateaubriand Béarnaise, sirloin or filet mignon flambé au
poivre, and grilled rack of lamb.
And, there’s prime rib on Fridays
and Saturdays.
We started with the escargot
maison and an appetizer-sized
serving of the frog legs. The
escargot are earthy and meaty
and served in garlic butter on a
bed of spinach.
The frog legs are lightly battered and fried and then sautéed
in garlic butter and chopped
cherry tomatoes. The meat was
so tender, it just fell off the
bones.
Other choices are clams casino, littlenecks on the half shell,
grilled shrimp Cajun-style,
seafood stuffed mushrooms,
shrimp cocktail, oysters Rockefeller, Caesar salad for two, New
England clam chowder or
French onion soup.
Our salads came with a loaf of
French bread and butter.
On a previous visit, a classic
Caesar salad for two was superb
— dressed, mixed and served at
the table.
Table service is one of the
highlights at Le Moulin Rouge
and not found often these days.
But, it’s fun and elegant at the

same time.
Crissy flamed the sauce for the
roast duckling flambé Bigarade at
the table and spooned it over the
large half duckling until the
flames subsided. The duck is
roasted with a classic orange
sauce until the skin is crispy, but
the meat tender and succulent. A
fabulous dish.
The beef Wellington was gorgeous on the plate and in the
mouth — a beautiful mediumrare filet mignon, pink and juicy,
topped with a layer of creamy
duck liver paté and wrapped in
puff pastry. The crisp, golden
mound was drizzled with a velvety Béarnaise sauce and surrounded by a puddle of rich,
mushroom sauce.
The swordfish Française was
equally impressive — a thick
steak sautéed and topped with
crossed asparagus spears, capers
and a garnish of lobster claws, all
drizzled with a lemon-butter
sauce.
Sides were green beans
almondine and carrot rounds.
The house potatoes boulangere
are red potatoes, sliced and
baked with chicken broth, onions
and herbs — a lovely preparation.
Or, you can opt for a baked potato. The sides were served family
style, another nice touch.
The dessert menu boasts
chocolate mousse, crepes
Suzette, cherries jubilee, warm
rice pudding, cheesecake, peach
Melba, sundaes, French parfaits
or ice cream. Dessert specials
were a blueberry/strawberry cobbler, chocolate cake and pecan
pie.
We’ve had the superb crepes
Suzette flambé and wanted to try
the cherries jubilee. Crissy flamed
them at the table and then the
fat, purple cherries bathed in the
warm brandy were spooned over
ice cold French vanilla ice cream.
It all melted slightly for a creamy
and sweetly tangy dessert.
We enjoyed coffee with them,
but there are international coffees, espresso, ports, liqueurs and
Cognacs, too.
The restaurant also has banquet facilities for up to 50.
The weekly Dining Review is
rotated among restaurants that
advertise in the Food & Dining

THEATER REVIEW
“W
Double bill at The Gamm a wild ride
hen you’ve just
stepped in you
can’t tell what’s
going to happen.”
That
quote is an apt way to describe
the hypnotic words of playwright Caryl
Churchill and a
good embarkation point to
delve into the
riveting and
hallucinatory
production her
two plays “A
Number” and
William
“Far Away” are
OAKES
receiving at The
Gamm Theatre in Pawtucket. It’s
a wild ride and you may get a little lost along the way and perhaps that’s part of the point. On
this theatrical journey your subconscious stirs from its slumber
and that demonstrates, vividly,
what great theatre, that most
ephemeral of art forms, is capable of. These plays have the
power to simply show us our
dreams, even if those dreams
should prove to be nightmares.
A director friend of mine once
told me as we rehearsed a play
that “our job begins after the
audience leaves the theater.” That
is certainly the case here as I have
been unable to not think about
the characters, ideas, issues and
images raised up here. The
Gamm’s delicately engaging production of these two plays serve
as a subtext of the actual events
presented here and manages to
illuminate your consciousness

even as it tickles and sometimes
befuddles you.
This is the sort of theatre I love,
it asks the audience to become a
part of the cast and experience,
requires a little heavy mental lifting from you to help create it’s
meaning and by doing so creates
an evening of communal engagement. This is theatre, not just as
story or live spectacle but a sort
of modern holy mystery play.
So what’s it all about? To reveal
too much is to give it all away and
spoil the experience. And this is a
trip you must take yourselves to
fully appreciate. Each of the concise one-act plays are placed in
the not too distant future and
examine the lives of wholly identifiable people in situations where
the events that govern their lives
are, often to absurd lengths,
wholly out of their control.
Rather like the characters we
meet, we in the audience are,
from the outset, kept a little off
balance and on the edge too. As
we enter the theater we hear all
around us the sing-song sounds
of children singing nursery
rhymes intermingled with the tinkle of tiny laughter. The effect is
unnerving and mildly disturbing.
Before us is a white partition
upon which black and white photographs of children have been
placed, behind that a wall of glass
windows. These will be used later,
at the moment they serve to offer
distorted fun-house reflections of
the action and the audience. This
is very much of a piece with the
worlds that Playwright Churchill
presents here where there seems
groups. Thrift shop open weekdays

always to be a sense of the sinister lurking right under the surface
of things.
And it is what lies under the
surface of events that matter
here. In “A Number”, to judge
from mere appearances, we are in
a sort of Sci-Fi story, a future
involving mad scientists and
cloning. But underlying this scenario is an existential crisis worthy of Samuel Beckett coupled
with the twisted familial relationships found in the works of
Harold Pinter. Bernard, played by
Tony Estrella, is a young man
aghast to discover that he has
been cloned as a child and that
there are “a number” of his selves
out there in the world. But from
this futuristic starting point we
venture forth into the realm of
philosophical inquiry and the
question of what, if anything, it
means to be human. Are we
merely a sum of a combination of
the bits and specks that make up
our essential components? What
makes us special?
These are questions that confound even the non-cloned and
extend to the actions, inactions
and behavior patterns of
Bernard’s father Salter. Would he,
given a choice, do what he did all
over again? Indeed, does ‘choice’,
given each human individual’s
unique and almost programmed
nature, even exist? Are the concepts of consciousness and free
will merely illusory?
These are heady questions with
no easy answers that the playwright thankfully does not
attempt to answer for you.

Prepare your garden
for Winter
Give your lawn a great boost for the winter and a head start for the spring by fertilizing with a fall fertilizer. These fertilizers are especially formulated to encouraging a strong root system. They also have a timed release component so the fertilizer
is still feeding into next spring.
If you have applied lime in some time it may be wise to test your soil to see how
much you need to apply. You can stop by the store to pick up an order form to send
off with your soil samples.
Spring flowering bulbs are always a great addition to the garden. Apply bulb food
with them to help them come back stronger every year. Avoid using bone meal as it
may attract animals, especially skunks. One interesting fact our Dutch Bulb salesman
mentioned is that tulips like a high pH so a little dusting of lime when you plant
them will help a lot. Roses can be allowed to bloom into early winter and then only
cut back a little. Climbers should be just tied back to their supports. Further pruning
can be done in early April. I have had good sucess protecting roses with a cylinder of
tar paper tied arround the plants with a couple of shovel fulls of compost piled
around the crown. Do this after we have had a good frost and the plants have lost
their leaves.
Instead, Churchill sharply and
slyly frames the crisis in such a
way that requires you to search
for answers and to question the
very idea of yourselves.
In the second play “Far Away”
we witness an entire world at war
and the three seeming disconnected vignettes that make up
this piece illustrate how acquiescence to the cruelty inherent in a
totalitarian state, or perhaps in
the world at large, will ultimately
crush your spirit. Whether this is
a cautionary tale or the author’s
observation of empathetic
entropy all around us is, again, up
to you to decide.
“Far Away” presents three
scenes that take place over the
course of the life of Joan and we
slowly realize that what she has
witnessed all her life is so much
sheer brutality that she has simply become accustomed to it; the
evil around her has become to
seem casual, even a bit banal. Up
to a point.
Churchill takes a certain delight
here in pushing the extremes of
her circumstances to absurdist
lengths; eventually humanity’s
constant state of strife with the
world at large escalates to a conflagration in which man, animals
and the forces of nature are
locked in a ceaseless struggle. The
Canadians, the Venezuelans and
the mosquitoes make up one
coalition. The engineers, the
chefs, the children under five and
the musicians make up another.
The Bolivians have been working
with gravity. The juxtapositions
employed here are hilarious and

Offers games and lessons for players at

I very much like how playwright Churchill manages to
combine the non-linear and the
quotidian in “Far Away”, but the
tenuous connections between the
three scenes can seem jarring.
Especially as “Far Away” is coupled here with “A Number”, a play
so concerned with the ideas of
nature versus nurture I fear that
we do not always see clearly
enough how the events Joan witnesses in one scene influences
and shapes her actions in the
next. We surmise that she accepts
the evil around her; we don’t
always see clearly how or why.
But we do understand, with a
sense of encroaching foreboding,
“Far Away”, for all its absurdity,
really isn’t at all that far from us.
Madness is always on the margins of these plays and the points
that Caryl Churchill makes are
like the tips of ice bergs floating
in a sea of dreams; the bulk of
meaning lies under the surface.
“Far Away” implores us to explore
our conscience while “A Number”
examines both our humanity and
the implications of our scientific
achievements and suggests,
among many other things, that
the unexamined life is perhaps
worth living. Both plays ask you
to free your mind from the fetters
of literalism and engage in a
dream-state that is perhaps not
quite as unworldly as we would
like to think.

MEET Michelle and Kathy: REALTORS AND FRIENDS
Michelle Rockwell and
Kathy Pierard of RE/MAX
River's Edge not only work
together as a team, they're
also the best of friends.
BY JOAN D. WARREN
Michelle Rockwell started her
career working in a large family
business that designed and manufactured custom store fixtures. With
a background in sales and design,
as well as an MBA, she decided to
extend into real estate, in 2005. Her
first year as a realtor, she was recognized as "Rookie of the Year."
Since then, she has increased my
business every year. She lives in
Rumford with her husband and two
children.
Kathy Pierard is a Providence
College craduate with a degree in
Sociology. She has a marketing
background, and is a lifelong resident of Rhode Island —- a lifelong
resident of Rumford in particular.
Prior to working for RE/MAX, she
was an insurance broker with
RISCO, part of Starkweather and
Shepley in East Providence, and a
professional liability specialist
working with errors and omissions,
D&O and EPL coverages.
WHY REAL ESTATE AS A
CAREER?
Michelle: "Real estate is my second career. Prior to real estate, I
owned and operated a large manufacturing facility. As a result of
imports, we closed the facility. I
was tired of that industry and wanted a change. I looked into real
estate, and the rest is history."
Kathy: "It is a rewarding field to
work in, as you help people with
one of the biggest decisions in their
life. I enjoy working with people,
and every day is an adventure.
There is never a dull moment."
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST
ABOUT IT?
Michelle: "Real estate allows me
to set my own schedule while utilizing my marketing and business
background. I also enjoy working
with customers in their home
search or in the listing of their
home."
Kathy: "The satisfaction that you
get from knowing you've helped a
buyer or seller accomplish their
goal and that they are happy. It
really is rewarding to know you've
helped someone find their new
home. That, plus the opportunity to
work closely with people and
RE/MAX River’s Edge
Michelle Rockwell
and Kathy Pierard
401-245-2000
develop great relationships with
buyers, sellers and colleagues."
ANY DISLIKES?
Michelle: "After working in
manufacturing, I really don’t have
any dislikes."
Kathy: "The hours can be
demanding at times. But if you are
organized and a planner (as I am),
you can make it work."
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR
HOBBIES?
Michelle: "Gardening, golf,
working out, shopping ( is that a
hobby or an obsession?)"
Kathy: "When I'm not working I
like to spend time with my family
and friends, do a little shopping, try
River’s Edge
new restaurants and squeezing in a
round of golf when I can."
BEST VACATION EVER?
Michelle: "My husband and I
took this fabulous vacation to wine
country in California — golf in the
morning and then visiting a different winery every afternoon. We
then drove down to Big Sur — fabulous!"
Kathy: "I would have to say the
best vacation I've ever taken was
my honeymoon in London. I have
always been fascinated with Great
Britain and the Royals. There is
just so much to see and do there
that it was a whirlwind trip."
BUCKET LIST ITEMS?
Michelle: "Golf with my husband on all the great golf courses in
Europe, see the Queen’s jewels,
golf in Hawaii."
Kathy: "Definitely more traveling both in this country and
abroad."
WHAT'S YOUR BEST CULINARY
CREATION?
Michelle: "Herb crusted beef tenderloin with a horseradish mustard
sauce."
Kathy: "I have the biggest sweet
tooth so I love to make candy. My
double chocolate walnut fudge is
my favorite."
FAVORITE MOVIE OR TELEVISION SHOW?
Michelle: " 'Cold Case' and
HBO’s 'Game of Thrones.' "
Kathy: " 'It's a Wonderful Life.'
This movie always lifts my spirits."
SUMMER, WINTER, SPRING
OR FALL?
Michelle: "Fall. Love the weather and fashions!"
Kathy: "No question, I absolutely
love the summer. It is my favorite
time of year. I love the weather,
going to the beach, dining outside
and everything that goes with it. I
am very disappointed when it's
over."

House of the Week
Portsmouth Victorian has proud history, needs love
T
he Victorian home
located at 567 Bristol
Ferry Road was built
in 1910 as the home
for Sarah J. Eddy, a
pioneer in early photography, a
philanthropist, feminist and
founder of the Rhode Island
Humane Society. Ms. Eddy was
also a sculptor and painter with a
passion to help others. She often
held picnics on her property for
the old and the poor.
It has been said that the home
was the cultural center of town.
Ms. Eddy donated the funds for
the building of the children's reading room at Portsmouth Free
Library. She left her estate to the
Boston Humane Society and the
Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.
The house has 4,233 square feet
of living space and sits on 2.5
acres with a water view of
Narragansett Bay. The three-story
home has period details, seven
fireplaces, stained glass and 14
rooms. It was converted into 4
apartments by the current owners,
who bought the property in 1945.
The home is in need of extensive renovations and could be
reverted to its original glory as a
single-family home.

Loan rates based on $100,000 with 20% down payment & no PMI. Variable mortgages listed are for 30 years, adjusted annually. Points are a one-time charge equal to one percent of the mortgage. APR stands for annual
percentage rate and reflects closing costs spread over the life of the loan. CAP is the most a variable mortgage can increase in one year. Savings and loans and Rhode Island loan and investment banks are included in the bank section of this chart. These rates,
provided by the institutions on Monday of this week, are subject to change or special conditions. For more information, consumers are advised to call the institution. First-time homebuyers may qualify for lower-rate mortgages from the Rhode Island Housing
and Mortgage Finance Corporation. Many credit unions only grant loans to members and limit membership to a defined group. When shopping for mortgage rates ask for explanation of closing costs. Financial institutions that write residential mortgages that
wish to be included on this list can get in touch with Classified Real Estate Advertising Specialist at 401-253-1000
