Cold snaps cove’s docks — shallow water docks hit hardest Ice grips pilings, tide rips them out BY JOSH BICKFORD [email protected] The long wooden dock that stands just north of the White Church Bridge is buckled and broken … and Mother Nature is to blame. The freezing temperatures this winter and the thick ice that has built up along the Barrington River, Palmer River and in Hundred Acre Cove have ripped pilings out of the ground and splintered docks. As the coves and rivers froze over this winter, ice formed and clung hard to the dock pilings. That action alone would not have presented any problems, but once the tide began to rise, the thick ice shifted up and pulled the pilings with it. “Whenever it freezes over like this, it can cause damage to docks,” said Ted Terhune of Stanley’s Boatyard. “They have it worse This dock along the Barrington River was damaged by the shifting ice recently. Docks located in the shallow waters along Hundred Acre Cove, the Barrington River and the Palmer River are reportedly at greater risk of damage from the ice.

Barrington actor performs in RIC play Barrington’s Hollie Diorio recently played the role of Julia Gibbs in a Rhode Island College production of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” Set in fictional small-town Grover’s Corners, between 1901 and 1913, the play tells the story of the everyday lives of its citizens, particularly two families — the Gibbs and the Webbs — as their children fall in love, marry and face difficult challenges. In a letter to Gertrude Stein, Wilder wrote, “It’s a little play with all the big subjects in it.” The play was presented at RIC’s Mainstage Theatre from Feb. 18 to 22.

Ice dams on gutters leading to leaks BY JOSH BICKFORD [email protected] They are called ice dams and they are wreaking havoc with homeowners. A slow and steady build-up of ice atop homes’ gutters have resulted in costly leaks for a number of East Bay residents this winter. The ice dams occur when snow on homes’ roofs melts and then freezes — the process has been exacerbated this winter due to the cold temperatures and heavy snowfall. Residents and contractors spent much of last week trying to clear roofs of snow and ice in anticipation of an approaching winter storm — many feared that the weight of additional snow and rain might result in a roof collapse. A Bristol-based contractor said he and his crew were very busy last week. “If I had five crews I could keep BARRINGTON TIMES (USPS #044-640) 1 Bradford St, Bristol 245-6000 • 253-6055 (fax) Mailing address: P.O.

Then you get the ice dams, and that’s the problem,” he said. There is no easy way to remove the ice dams, he said. His crew chips ice out of gutters using hammers and chisels and then throws down some rock salt to melt that last few inches of ice. “You can’t chip too much… you can’t touch the roof and you can’t touch the gutters. You get to a point where you’ve got to put down some salt and let it do the rest,” he said. A representative at Avery Smith Insurance in Barrington said she has seen an increase in the number of claims filed by homeowners who have noticed damage because of the ice dams. “Generally, yes, it’s been worse this year,” she said. The representative said that most homeowners’ insurance policies cover damage resulting from snowstorms. She said people should, however, check their individual policies.

According to Barrington Superintendent of Schools Michael Messore, students and staff put on their hats and coats and exited the building. Then, following the school’s evacuation procedure, the group began walking to Hampden Meadows School. Barrington police shut down Sowams Road and Kent Street to vehicles so that students and staff could walk safely to Hampden Meadows. Mr. Messore said the group did not get far before officials from the Barrington Fire Department and National Grid gave the OK to re-enter Sowams School. At that point, students and staff turned around and returned to Sowams. “Our number one priority is safety,” Mr. Messore said. Sowams School Principal Jim Callahan sent an email to parents of students following the incident. “As a school, we followed our evacuation procedures in order to ensure the safety of all of our students,” Mr. Callahan wrote. “Our students did a wonderful job with our evacuation. They followed the directions of our teachers and quickly put their jackets on, left the building, and, when told, started to walk to HMS. I am so proud of how the students handled this situation.” Mr. Messore also praised the students and staff at Sowams. Artists wanted for Barrington Art Festival Event planned for June 14 Organizers of the Barrington Art Festival are looking for artists who live and/or work in the East Bay area. The festival will be held on Sunday, June 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the grounds near the Barrington Town Hall.

They will also bring along some donated props from Cardi’s Furniture Stores. Maria Wah-Fitta, a Sowams School mom who volunteered to help with the school’s Arts Alive! play, helped track down items the students could use as props for the production — a Halloween cauldron, a scarecrow, and old hamster cage. “Checking off the list of props we ‘Wizard of Oz’ ■ What: “Wizard of Oz” by Sowams School students ■ When: Friday, Feb. 27 at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 28 at 12:30 and 6:30 p.m. ■ Where: Barrington Middle School auditorium ■ More information: Visit www.artsalivebarrington.org need for the Wizard of Oz has been very much on the top of my mind lately,” Mrs. Wah-Fitta said. “So when I was at Cardi’s Furniture to do something else and I noticed the big, beautiful sheep that they Dr. Lisa Daft Family & Cosmetic Dentistry We welcome new patients! 520 Taunton Avenue, Seekonk, MA (508) 336-7260 www.smilebuilder.com keep in their showroom, I just had to ask the owners if we could borrow them for the farm scene in the play.” Mrs. Wah-Fitta was pleasantly surprised when, after extensive back-and-forth correspondence, one of the Cardi brothers personally delivered three sheep, and told her that Sowams School was welcome to keep them as a donation. “The plan is to auction the sheep at the next Octoberfest,” Mrs. WahFitta said. “We will have the entire ‘Wizard of Oz’ cast and crew sign a playbill to go with each sheep, and that way this generous donation will help the school twice.

Opinion Page 6 Barrington Times February 25, 2015 EDITORIAL Icy drivers E very time it snows, you’re sure to see them on the road … those inconsiderate drivers thoughtlessly traveling along while leaving a frozen, white smokescreen in their wake. Then they hit the highway, sending chunks of ice flying through the air, forcing drivers behind them into a slalom course to avoid a shattered windshield. It is the responsibility of all motorists to drive a safe, wellmaintained vehicle, not only for their own safety but for that of those around them. That includes clearing snow from the car — all the snow. But too many ignore that responsibility, leaving inches of snow and ice on the roof, which become missiles once they reach a certain speed. Not only is in inconsiderate, it is dangerous. It is also against the law, which police should strictly enforce. Rhode Island General Law 31-23-16 prohibits driving with accumulated snow on a car. “No per■ WHERE TO WRITE: son shall drive any motor Barrington Times, 1 Bradford St.., vehicle with any signifiBristol, R.I. 02809 cant amounts of snow or Letters may also be sent to: ice upon the vehicle,” the barrington@eastbay newspapers.com law reads. “The term ‘significant’ is construed as any amount of accumulation which might reasonably be expected, when blowing off the vehicle while driving, to obscure the vision of an operator of another vehicle.” The penalty for violating the law is a fine similar to speeding. It should be much worse. When officers pull someone over for irresponsibly driving with snow on the roof, the driver should be forced to clear the snow before moving on. If they don’t have the means, the car should be towed for everyone’s safety. Some will give the excuse that they can’t reach the roof to clear it, especially if they are driving a larger vehicle, a problem that could be easily fixed with a push broom. The excuse is just that — akin to disavowing responsibility for rolling backwards down a hill because they don’t know how to drive a standard. A driver is responsible for the safety of his car or truck. Anyone who refuses to clear snow from a car needs to leave it in the driveway.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The truth about violent video games To the editor: “I feel that sometimes when games are too realistic, they are violent and scary,” said an eighthgrader that goes to Barrington Middle School. The boy once watched a game in which the player has to torture a man by ripping his teeth away or breaking his bones. He was not able to sleep for days. You can see that video games can even move a normal middle school boy into a state of fear. This boy said that video games are a great way to socialize with friends and he finds games challenging and enjoyable to play with. However, sometimes he realizes that some games are disturbing and frightening. Overall, video games have many benefits and disadvantages, which people are still debating to this day. Some critics claim that violent games are destroying our society. Shootings are occurring often. In the words of video game expert Benedict Carey, “All these young men who opened fire are linked in common — by video games. They were all video gamers who seemed to be acting out some dark digital fantasy.” Innocent lives were lost because of this violent media. Furthermore, studies show that violent gaming can stimulate hostile urges and mildly aggressive behavior. One study at Iowa State University proves this theory. In the study, a research team had 47 undergraduates engage in violent gaming. Then they were told to hand out hot sauce to students who did not like hot sauce (Carey). The undergraduates acted antisocially and gave their fellow students significantly more hot sauce; thus, the point of the experiment proven; that violent media drives people to act out. Likewise, another study suggests that kids who play more hours of violent media revealed to be more aggressive in behavior and attitude (Park) than those who played significantly less. When asked the question “Is it okay to strike a peer if they said something negative about you?” most children would likely have answered yes. Both examples show you that violent video games are causing people to be aggressive and destructive. Violent video games are also changing the people who play them. From a young age, toddlers are exposed to games such as watching Clifford the Big Red Dog teaching them how to read. Progressing to adolescents, the games get more violent and hostile. Threatening acts and aggressive behavior are the outcome of playing violent media. To add on, in a 2011 study, “brain scans of a small group of volunteers showed less activity in the regions connected to emotions, attention, and inhibition of impulses compared to participants who played non-violent video games (park).” The change appears reversible but may lead to permanent changes if played for extended periods of time. In other words, the brain could be receiving duller indications of sensitivity and could be suppressing emotions and empathy. Your brain could actually repress feelings for affection, joy, and love. Although video games may be a threat to our society, they provide many benefits as well. These benefits include boosting children’s learning, creativity, and social skills (Bowen). Studies show that that video games may help children develop problem-solving skills, a crucial step of learning. One study explains that adolescents who played strategic games reported that they were actually improving in problem-solving skills and school grades (Rudon). Second, video games also seem to be enhancing children’s imagination and creativity. Minecraft and Farmville, for instance, enable the player to customize and build their own world. The player can decide where decorations go and so on. These kinds of games seem to be boosting a child’s natural ability to imagine and create. Finally, video games have been proven to strengthen social skills (Rudon). People worldwide learn to work as a team, Lisa Bowen states. “Decisions need to be made quickly about whom to trust or reject and how to lead a group.” Cooperation is crucial to win, which is why video games can strengthen social skills. As you can see, not only are video games beneficial to learning but also beneficial to creativity and social skills. The debate of the value of video games has risen more than once in my household. My mom and brother are constantly arguing over the effects of the exposure of violent media. The question everyone has been wondering comes up all the time, “What should the society do?” How do we stop shootings, stop aggressive behavior, and stop hostile acts while at the same time letting adolescents and children engage in technology? First off, citizens can start regulating rules to protect the society and our community. Raising the values of video games financially and educating parents on the effects video games could inflict on their child could be a step we can all take to help the environment stay safe and healthy. Society will continue to educate about the advantages and disadvantages of video games until people are more aware of these issues and make the right decisions for the sake of themselves and the people around them. Kelly Kaon Barrington seventh-grader Barrington Times February 25, 2015 Page 7 Water authority sees uptick in water main breaks BCWA: Cold weather to blame for busted mains BY JOSH BICKFORD [email protected] The cold winter weather is taking a toll on water pipes across the East Bay. According to Bristol County Water Authority Executive Director Pamela Marchand, the sub-freezing temperatures have resulted in a higher number of water main breaks across the East Bay this winter. “We’ve had 25 breaks since December,” said Ms. Marchand. “We’ve been pretty busy. Generally, we see a couple of breaks a month… but it’s been bad.” Ms. Marchand said about 40 per- cent of the water main breaks have occurred in Barrington — a break on Mathewson Road last week cut off water service to dozens of residents in that area. “That was an eight-inch cast iron main that broke,” said Ms. Marchand. “Someone saw water on the street and called it in.” Crews responded quickly, but the authority was unable to immediately secure a backhoe to dig up the roadway. Workers had to wait until the contractor was able to finish working on a different break; Ms. Marchand said crews were able to repair water service to BCWA customers later that day. Ms. Marchand said the prolonged cold snap has played a role in the water main breaks. She said the ground shifts during the freez- ing-thawing process and strains the underground pipes, some of which are very old. Once there is a break, crews face a tough task to repair it. Ms. Marchand said there is about three-and-a-half feet of frost underground right now. “It takes a lot longer to dig your way through that,” she said, adding that crews resort to jackhammers to break through the frozen ground. Once workers reach the broken pipe, they then have to deal with ice. “Now you’ve got the water filling in and then it freezes,” she said. “It’s been tough.” Ms. Marchand said she anticipates more water main breaks when the ground thaws, although she was not sure when that might happen.

The cat, which had an injured tail, was nicknamed “Prince.” Tuesday, Feb. 17 Police arrested Julia Rae Morris, 24, of 35 Orchard Ave., on a warrant out of the West Warwick Police Department. A Ferry Lane resident called the police to report that a snowplow truck had pushed snow into his hedges. The plow truck was working to clear a neighbor’s property. Police checked on the hedges and it was not clear if there had been any damage. Thursday, Feb. 19 A Sowams Road resident said she had attempted to file her tax return and was told that someone had already used her information to file a return. Police investigated a civil situation on West Street. A tenant in an apartment told officers the plow hired by the landlord had pushed snow against the back door of the residence, blocking the doorway. The landlord told police he would address the situation. Friday, Feb. 20 A motorist stopped into the station after she was the victim in an alleged road rage incident. The woman said she was driving south on Route 114 when another vehicle pulled in front of her and braked suddenly. She said the driver in the other vehicle later yelled at her. Police searched for the other vehicle — a maroon Ford Explorer — but could not locate it. A woman came to the station to report a possible case of disorderly conduct. She said she had been at a friend’s Photos of events, people, etc. available for purchase at eastbayri.com house when a man she had a restraining order against arrived outside and used his vehicle to block her car in the driveway. He reportedly wanted to talk to the woman, but she refused. Police contacted the man and told him that any correspondence with the woman must be done through a third party. Saturday, Feb. 21 A truck reportedly struck a utility pole at the corner of Bayberry Lane and Half Mile Road. A Holly Lane resident said she received a message from IRS stating that someone had tried to file a tax return using her information. An Acre Avenue resident said someone had used their information to submit a tax return. A 33 year-old man came to the station to register as a sex offender. The man said he was just released from prison and was staying an acquaintance’s home on Bay Spring Avenue for a week or two before moving to a permanent address outside of town. A New Meadow Road resident’s dog was struck by car and killed. The dog darted out of the house when the resident went to get the mail. The motorist who struck the animal did not stop; no one saw the suspect vehicle. Sunday, Feb. 22 An Anoka Avenue resident said her vehicle may have been struck by a snowplow and damaged while the car was parked on the road. A Rumstick Road resident called police after her ex-husband stopped by her home uninvited. He reportedly parked outside the home and left before the police arrived.

They supported each other in the pool and out of the pool.” BARRINGTON SWIM COACH SANDY GORHAM Barrington Times February 25, 2015 Page 11 Girls win title, boys take second Barrington swim teams celebrate special season BY JOSH BICKFORD [email protected] The Barrington High School girls’ swim team arrived at the Brown University swim center an hour and a half early for the state championship meet on Saturday. The girls, who had finished the regular season undefeated, wanted to cheer on the boys’ team as it battled against a talent and deep field of opponents. “They wanted to cheer the boys on,” said Barrington coach Sandy Gorham. “We had the whole team on the deck.” The cheering worked, as the Barrington boys powered to a second place finish behind a tough Hendricken squad. Then, after receiving their medals, the boys from Barrington stayed at the Brown University pool to support the girls’ team. “We had to cancel the boys bus — that speaks volumes,” said Gorham. “They didn’t want to leave. They wanted to cheer on their teammates.” The Barrington girls did not disappoint, as they won their first state title in nine years. Barrington, which did not have a swimmer win a single event, scored 292 points, while second-place Prout finished with 251.5 points and North Kingstown took third with 236. “It was a tremendous season,” said Gorham. “Chemistry is one of things that if you don’t have it, it can hit you right in the nose. It can be a long season if you don’t have it... This team had great chemistry. They supported each other in the pool and out of the pool.” Gorham said that after spending most of the day together, the members of the boys’ and girls’ teams met Saturday night for a pizza party. He said the kids hung out together well into the night. “They’re just a great group of kids,” said Gorham. Girls win The Barrington girls displayed an impressive amount of roster depth en route to Saturday’s state title. “I knew we had a shot, every point counts,” said Gorham, adding “I never though they would swim as well as they did. This is my 44th year coaching swimming … I’ve never had it come together like that. It was great.” Barrington’s 4x200 medley relay team of Cali Diehl, Grace Bellamy, Barrington’s Bobby Jackson can’t help but smile after helping the Eagles take second at states. PHOTOS BY ALEX WATROUS Barrington High School’s Alicia Vesey stands ready on the starting block at the state championship swim meet on Saturday. Alicia finished seventh in 200 yard freestyle and helped a relay team finish fourth. Wannging Li and Emma Gurchiek opened the meet with a strong fourth place finish, and Alicia Vesey followed that up with a seventh place finish in the 200 yard freestyle. Li and Bellamy scored key points in the 200 IM, as they finished in third and fourth place, respectively. Danielle Gibalerio was fourth in the 50 freestyle, and Gurchiek and Diehl each scored points in the same event when they finished in 11th and 14th, respectively. Li was seventh in the 100 butterfly, while Barrington freshman Kelay Swintak was 11th and Isabel Rotondo was 16th. Swintak and Vesey finished third and fourth in the 500 freestyle, while Joe’ DeRiso was 12th and Ingrid Kenyon was 16th in the same event. Gibalerio was sixth, Gurchiek was 11th, and Libby Ryan was 14th in the 100 freestyle. Barrington 200 free relay finished second. The team was comprised of Bellamy, Vesey, Gurchiek and Gibalerio. Diehl was third, and Ryan was ninth in the 100 backstroke, while Bellamy was third in the 100 breaststroke. Allison Bloom was eighth in that event and Amanda Vesey was 16th. In the final event, the 400 free relay, Barrington’s team of Alicia Barrington’s Isabel Rotondo competes in the 100 butterfly at states on Saturday. Vesey, Diehl, Li and Gibalerio finished fourth. “I could not be more excited or proud of all our team has accomplished,” said Allison Bloom. “This state title shows that all the hard work everyone put in really has paid off.” “Going into the state meet we knew that we needed to swim our best in order to win. Our underclassmen really stepped up and performed way beyond what we thought possible,” said Ellie DeWitt. “Our team is young and I think a lot of good things are going to come out of Barrington girls swimming in years to come. A lot of it has to do with our coaches Sandy and Eileen Sweeney. They know where to swim people in order to score points; it isn’t always about first place, places nine to sixteen really make a difference at a meet like states. They made this win possible for us and we are so lucky to have them as coaches.” Boys finish second Barrington put together a strong performance at states, scoring 218 points and finishing second behind a deep Hendricken team. Barrington’s Jack Fortin offered one of the highlights of the meet. The junior was seeded eighth heading into the finals of the 50 freestyle, but out-swam the rest of the field and won the event. He also finished second in the 100 breaststroke. Barrington’s 200 medley relay team of Ben Vesey, Jack Fortin, Michael Marti and Bobby Jackson finished sixth, while Aiden Lane was fourth and Ben Noonan was 14th in the 200 freestyle. Vesey was ninth in the 200 IM, and his teammate Ian Smith was 15th in the same event. In the 100 butterfly, Martin was 11th and Tim Hecker was 14th. Jackson finished fourth and Lane was ninth in the 100 free. In the 500 free, Ben Vesey was third. Barrington’s 200 freestyle relay team of Lane, Vesey, Jackson and Fortin finished third. Barrington’s Alston Stone was 14th in the 100 backstroke. In the 400 free relay, Barrington’s Nathan Chereau, Noonan, Martin and Lane combined to finish sixth. “Overall this year has been an incredible one for the Barrington boys, with all of us going above and beyond what we believed we were capable of. Coach Sandy and Coach Eileen have done an amazing job. The team also has a sense of camaraderie this year and it has been such a great experience,” said Bobby Jackson. Martin agreed. “Top to bottom, there was great chemistry, and I think it starts with our coaches. This was a special team, and we stuck together, pushing each other to the best we could be,” he said. Page 12 Barrington Times February 25, 2015 Barrington boys take second at state track meet Mars Bishop and weight throwers pace Eagles BY JOSH BICKFORD [email protected] Adam Kelly, Bobby Colantonio and Mike Alvernaz finished first, second and fourth in the weight throw competition and helped Barrington finish second at the State Indoor Track Championship in Providence on Saturday. LaSalle Academy won the meet with 104 points, while Barrington finished with 58 points. Bishop Hendricken was third with 48 points. Adam Kelly won the weight throw with a distance of 81 feet, 3 inches, while Bobby Colantonio tossed a personal best 79 feet, 9 inches. Mike Alvernaz also had a personal best throw of 70 feet, 5.25 inches which helped him secure fourth place. According to track officials, this year was the first time four student-athletes broke the 70-foot mark at states. Kelly went on to become a double state champion, winning the shot put also. Kelly tossed the shot 54 feet, 5.25 inches. Barrington High School sophomore Mars Bishop also earned the title “state champion.” Running in the 600, Bishop pushed out to an early lead and crossed the finish line first. He clocked a time of 1:24.13, which set a new school record in the event, said Barrington boys’ coach Bill Barrass. “Our athlete of the day in the track events was clearly Mars Bishop,” he said. “After running a PHOTOS BY TIM MARSHALL Barrington High School’s Mars Bishop, 3, shown running in a relay event, won the 600 meter race at the state indoor track championship in Providence on Saturday. sub-two minute split in the 4x800 at the start of the meet, Mars came back to race the 600. He was a smart runner. Just as he was supposed to do, he led the entire race and would not let anyone pass. His time of 1:24.13 broke our school record of 1:25.77 by over a second and a half! The previous record had been set in 2009 by Matt Gamache.” Barrass said his 4x800 meter relay team ran well at states. “Our 4x800 team began the meet with an outstanding performance. They were seeded third behind Hendricken and Cumberland, and ended up placing second to a very talented LaSalle team,” Barrass said. “The team of See FACING PAGE Bee Inspired! an Evening of Arts and Innovation Presented by A Team Spelling Bee Benefit for Grownups Saturday March 7, 2015 Hive opens at 5:30 Roger Williams University Bristol, RI Tickets available NOW Find more information at bwedfoundation.org Thank you to our many supporters, including these sponsors bwedfoundation.org Barrington’s Adam Kelly won two events at the state meet — the weight throw and the shot put. A day later, the standout student-athlete won the weight throw at the New England Championships.

TRACK STATES: Adam Kelly wins weight throw and shot put events From FACING PAGE Mars Bishop, Gerald Guerrieri, Sam Somera, and Lucas Bledsoe have also earned All-State honors.” Barrass said Bishop also competed in the 1,000 meter race at states. “We knew that our team was among the top several teams in the scoring, and needed the team points. We had expected that he might be able to get a point or two in fifth or sixth place. The 1,000 went off only about 20 minutes after his incredible 600. Mars is so strong that he was able to compete at the front of the race, and surged into second place right at the finish. He is a great competitor. He collected 18 points for the team individually today, and 26 points when you include his relay performance. And he is only a sophomore!” Barrass said he was very pleased with his team’s performance, adding that it was the first time in 50 years that Barrington has finished second at indoor track states. “It was really exciting for us to place that high in the state,” he said. “Obviously, we were far behind the very talented LaSalle squad, but that was expected. LaSalle has been able to form a collection of some of the best athletes from the area, and they are coached well. I am proud, though, that we were able to compete to this level with a great group of guys from a public school, representing one town and one community. They should be very proud.” Barrington will have a handful of student-athletes competing at the New England Indoor Track Championship on Feb. 27 — Bishop will compete in the 600, Kelly will compete in the shot, and the 4x800 team will run.

More honors for weight throwers at New Englands After grabbing three of the top four spots at the RI State Indoor Track Championship on Saturday, Barrington High School weight throwers Adam Kelly, Bobby Colantonio and Mike Alvernaz traveled to Massachusetts for the 2015 USATF New England Indoor Track and Field Championships and brought home more medals. Kelly, the top high school weight thrower in the country and state and regional record-holder, took top honors in the men’s open 35-pound weight throw — the Barrington High School senior tossed the weight a personal-best 63 feet, .25 inches. Colantonio recorded his own personal best, a throw of 59 feet, 1.25 inches, which was strong enough for second place. Alvernaz finished fourth with a personal best throw of 51 feet, 5 inches. Alvernaz also competed in the 25-pound weight throw and brought home first place in that event.

Supreme Court licenses all lawyers in the general practice of law. The court does not license or certify any lawyer as an expert or specialist in any particular filed of practice. The Barrington School Department hired a private contractor last week to clear snow off school roofs before another winter storm was due to slam the region. The decision to bring in a contractor, said Barrington School Superintendent Michael Messore, followed a close examination of school roofs which have been covered by more than a foot of snow for the last few weeks. “Skip (Learned, director of facilities) hired a company to come and do an assessment on all our roofs,” said Mr. Messore. “They said the roofs are structurally sound.” The superintendent said state officials have been warning local school districts about the potential for roof collapses and leaks due to heavy snow build-up. In addition, meteorologists were forecasting another storm — a mix of snow, freezing rain and plain rain — for Saturday night and Sunday morning. The precipitation could have further stressed school roofs, many of which are A worker pushes a shovel-load of snow off the roof at Barrington High School on Friday. flat or low-pitched. Heavy snow has already damaged some schools in the region. Mr. Messore said some of the Barrington’s schools have experienced roof leaks; he said the roof above the high school’s small gymnasium had suffered a few leaks and that officials had decided to close off the small gym until the roof is repaired. (The district had tried to have the small gym’s roof replaced prior to winter, but was unable to secure a reasonably-priced bid for the work.) On Friday morning, crews were working hard atop the high school and Hampden Meadows School clearing snow, as temperatures hovered in the teens. “We’re working on removing the snow drifts and clearing the drain pipes,” said Mr. Messore. “There are a few leaks, but nothing bad.” DOCKS: Shallow water docks hit hardest From Page 1 in Hundred Acre Cove and along the Palmer River. The water’s not as deep there. We’re a little deeper here… it’s not as bad.” Mr. Terhune said the boatyard has suffered a few minor weatherrelated issues with its docks, but nothing as serious as folks farther north along the river and into the cove. The first private dock north of the White Church Bridge may act as the poster child of winter’s wear-and-tear on the waterfront. The pilings have been pulled out of the water, pinching the dock into a hard “A” shape. A hand-rail was splintered under the pressure of the shifting dock. Mr. Terhune said a number of people have called Stanley’s because of damage to their docks. He said many of those folks will be calling Mt. Hope Dock Works when the weather warms. “He’s going to be very busy this spring,” said Mr. Terhune. Other dock-owners are trying to combat the crushing effects with water bubblers located along the pilings; the bubblers help prevent the water from freezing to the pilings.

Bette Davis film series begins next week Join librarian Doug Swiszcz for his latest movie lecture series, “Fasten Your Seat Belts!: A Bette Davis Film Series,” on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. from March 4 to April 8. It is free and open to all. Bette Davis was renowned for playing against the feminine ideal of her era, one that portrayed women as docile and subservient. The long list of indelible characters she created has been narrowed down to six for this series, with pre-film commentary each week by Mr. Swiszcz. The series opens on March 4 with “Jezebel” (104 minutes, black and white). The 1938 film earned Davis an Academy Award as Best Actress. Working under the direction of William Wyler, she ably personifies the character of Julie Marsden, a willful, spoiled Southern belle in 1850s New Orleans. Her defiant behavior, which includes blatant disregard for societal mores, drives away her conservative fiancé, Preston Dillard (Henry Fonda). Less epic in scale than “Gone With the Wind,” but equally as engrossing, the movie is set against the backdrop of a yellow fever epidemic sweeping the area. Also in the cast are Fay Bainter, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar playing Julie’s aunt, and George Brent, as another of Julie’s suitors. The rest of the lineup: March 11: “The Letter” (1940): Leslie Crosbie (Davis) is the wife of a man who runs a rubber plantation in Malaysia. When she kills a man, she claims self-defense. But was it? (95 minutes, black and white). March 18: “Now Voyager” (1942): After spending time in a sanitarium, a repressed spinster (Davis) who has been living under the thumb of her mother begins a new life that includes a shipboard romance with a married man (Paul Henreid). (117 minutes, black and white). A nature documentary by local filmmakers Shawn Carey and Jim Grady tracks the migration of shorebirds in the Western Hemisphere. It will be screened at the library next week, along with a talk by the vice president of the Ocean State Bird Club. This photo is by Mr. Carey. March 25: “All About Eve” (1950): A seemingly naïve fan (Anne Baxter) insinuates her way into the life of veteran Broadway actress Margo Channing (Davis). (138 minutes, black and white). April 1: “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” (1962): A faded child star (Davis) torments her crippled sister (Joan Crawford) in the old mansion they share. (134 minutes, black and white). April 8: “Dead Ringer” (1964): A working class woman kills her wealthy twin sister and assumes her identity. Davis plays both roles. (116 minutes, black and white).

The performance brings to life stories of Ms. Clancy’s upbringing in Ireland, along with songs and poetry passed down from her father, Bobby Clancy of the leg- endary Clancy Brothers. She accompanies herself on guitar and an Irish drum called the bodhran. As a teenager, Ms. Clancy started performing with her father in folk clubs and moved to the States in 1992, where she received recognition for her debut CD, “It’s About Time.” She went on to join the acclaimed group Cherish the Ladies, which won a Grammy for their recording of “The Celtic Album” with the Boston Pops.

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he’s gone. Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, empty and turn your back. Or you could do what he would want, Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

February 11, 18, & 25, 2015 LEGAL NOTICE BRISTOL COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY INVITATION TO BID Sealed bids will be received until 10:00 AM prevailing time, Thursday, March 19, 2015, to furnish the Bristol County Water Authority with the following: ADVERTISEMENT Do you need a will? Parents and property owners surely do. N ot everybody likes to think ahead to a time when they will not be here and they avoid it as long as possible. Some attorneys, however, are more skilled at helping clients plan their estate. East Bay attorney Evelyn Weiss Zawatsky is just such a specialist. With an excellent background in estate planning, wills, trusts and probate, she has helped many prepare for an inevitable future, in an easy and caring way that makes the process painless, and takes into account all the planner’s wishes. “People feel very comfortable talking to me,” says Evelyn. “That makes the planning process so much easier for clients who have to deal with a lot of issues,” she adds. “I return phone calls promptly, and everyone appreciates that,” she says. Does everyone need a will? If you own nothing, have no children or others to pass along assets to, than probably not. But, if you are the parent(s) of minor children, own real estate or have recently been married or divorced, it is essential to have a well-drafted will so that your wishes are followed. Such a document can avoid misunderstandings and family disputes. Most importantly, in combination with a trust, a well crafted will can provide direction and the wherewithal for the care of minor children and other family members far into the future, as well as avoid unnecessary taxes. Without a will, an estate is divided and distributed in ways that are determined by legal entities, not the decedent. Choosing an attorney to craft a will that properly plans for distribution of assets is not an easy matter. An experienced attorney like Evelyn Zawatsky can help clients avoid problems and unnecessary expenses in probate, first by executing a comprehensive will that covers all the legal bases, and then by overseeing the estate through the probate process to make sure the distribution is as the decedent wishes. If you don’t have a will, or need some help planning for the probate process, give Evelyn Zawatsky a call. A well-crafted will and a proper plan of action for your estate can give you tremendous piece of mind. Evelyn Zawatsky can expertly guide you through the complexities of drafting a will and planning your estate. 13 Half Mile Road, Barrington 401-247-0300 Equipment Rental, with Operators and Drivers & Related Construction Materials.

When I got to the top I was so anxious to go down but then I noticed the huge jump and felt a tingle in my spine. But nothing was going to stop me from going down the huge hill and jumping on the awesome jump. So I got a huge running start and jumped onto my sled. I bolted down the hill and hit the jump and flew up into the air it was crazy and when I landed I was shocked I was still in one piece with no injuries. I got straight up and went down the hill again and again! It was so fun but after a while I got really bored so I went back to my house and had some hot cocoa. The Sledding Hill BY WILLIAM ROBERTS “Ollie, look at that!” I exclaimed as I gazed at the giant, perfectly sloped mountain of snow on the side of the road. I could already see myself sliding quickly down the sides on my big, grey sled. As I trudged through the deep snow drift to get to the hill, I heard my brother calling. “This wont work,” he said. “Yes, it will.” I replied, as I dropped my sled on the ground at the top of the hill. I slowly lowered my body into the big sled, smiling from ear to ear from excitement. I tensed up my legs and planted them firmly in the snow behind me. I pushed off, and I felt my body shoot forward like a rocket. There was a moment of pure joy, and then “WHAM!” I plowed face first into a snowdrift. Award-winning visitor Last fall Dan Santat visited Hampden Meadows School for an author visit. Some of the students also wrote a Kids Corner article about it. In the article they put a picture of the local students with Dan Santat holding up his picture book “Beekle” — little did they know that “Beekle” would be named the 2015 Caldecott Award winner! Charlie Durkin wins Hampden Meadows geography bee Ten students battled for bragging rights BY MAXIM POWELL On February 3rd a very special event happened. The Geography Bee was being held in Hampden Meadows School and was about to start! As a spectator I was very excited to see who would be the school’s next Geography Bee Champion. Once the announcer, Mrs. C. Couto, started talking she first stated the rules. After all the rules were stated the Bee had officially begun. The Bee started with 10 contestants who were winner based on a qualifying test before the bee. The bee started with questions that the judges, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Burke, and Mrs. Hunt, didn’t even know! Two students from my class had high enough scores to qualify and their names were Charles Durkin and Bella Williams. To present their answer each student was required to stand up to a microphone in front of about 100 students and if they got two questions wrong they would have to be eliminated from the Geography Bee. After the first round, 3 out of the 10 students got the answers incorrect. Luckily Charlie got the answer! The round two question was about where Charlie Durkin the movie Dolphin Tale was filmed. Amazingly 9 out of 10 of the students correctly guessed Florida and survived the round! But one student had now gotten 2 incorrect answers and was out of the bee. Now that round 3 started the chances of getting out of the bee were higher because more students had 1 incorrect answer. After round three, I was getting more worried because 1 out of the 2 students in my class had gotten out, Charlie was still in. Then one of the last rounds began. After that round finished another 2 people had gotten out but not including Charlie. Then the last knockout round started and that meant that this round would continue when only 2 students were left. I waited unsteadily as the last 4 contestants wrote down their answers. They started to flip their boards they had their answers on and then… Charlie and a fourth grade student, Jack Zwolinski, had the correct answer and had made it past that knockout round and were on to the championship! Everyone clapped and cheered especially our class! Mrs. C. Couto explained that the final round to decide the winner were three questions and the person to answer the most questions right won but if there was a tie then Bill Lizotte ARCHITECTURAL GLASS & ALUMINUM, INC.

First Charlie and Jack Zwolinski both answered two out of three questions correctly and the last answer they both answered incorrectly and that meant they would go to the sudden death tiebreaker round! The question for the final tiebreaker round asked for the name country, near the Balkan Peninsula, was the leading producer of cotton? I was very excited for one reason, in my class Charlie was in my group dedicated to the studying of the Mediterranean Region, and I knew he would know this answer! The answer Charlie wrote down was Greece and Jack wrote Italy. After both students wrote down their answers the announcer asked for a drumroll and the answer was… Greece! This meant that Charlie had won the bee and had become the Hampden Meadows Geography Bee Champion! East Bay Life Pages B1-B9 East Bay Life February 25-26, 2015 Page B1 Mental health advocacy in crisis Warren man offers a helping hand to depression sufferers, even as his support system slips away BY CHRIST Y NADALIN [email protected] Some days you just need to pick your battles. But there are the battles we pick, and there are others that, like it or not, pick us. Warren resident Rick Norman may not always feel like fighting his daily battles, but both circumstances and choice have made him a seasoned warrior, and he’s fighting on multiple fronts. With several health concerns including epilepsy and COPD complicating a lifelong battle against depression, Norman has been unable to hold down a steady job for nearly a decade. When the onset of epilepsy initially left him unemployed, he found himself homeless and uninsured within 90 days. For someone who had worked since the age of 15, it was a shocking change of fortune. Social services including SSDI, Medicaid, Medicare, and Rhode Island’s CNOM program (Costs Not Otherwise Matched) allowed Norman to (mostly) keep a roof over his head and obtain his medications (he has 13 prescription drugs he needs to take daily), as well as cover the costs of occasional therapy and psychiatric visits, and a case worker to help him manage his complicated healthcare profile. Until recently. A $29 increase in his SSDI payments put Norman over the Medicaid income threshold by less than $15, and then CNOM was defunded by the General Assembly in last year’s budget — leaving Norman holding the bag for $8,000 in annual medical expenses, something he simply cannot cover. Unable to fill his prescriptions, he goes to the pharmacy on a weekly basis and picks and chooses which drugs he will leave behind. Sometimes he goes without the medications that help him breathe, other times he passes on antidepressants or mood stabilizers. The choices are as frightening as they are demoralizing. Norman understands well why many people object to “entitlement” programs (though he notes that Social Security is not one of them, given that the government is simply returning money to the workers who paid into it.) He’d like nothing more than to still be working full time. Knowing that chronic abuses of these programs have given them a bad rap, he cites statistics that reveal that federal taxes paid by a worker earning $50,000 per year go overwhelmingly to corporate subsidies ($4000) vs. health services ($130). Things are no better at the local level. “Last year after promising no budget cuts, an additional $10,000,000 in combined state and matching federal funds were cut from men- POLI-TICKS L tal health programs at the state house,” Norman says. “It decimated a system that has been cut to the bone over the last decade, despite increased need. “Are we sure we’re mad at the right people?” he asks. That is where Norman is picking his battles — not in anger, but in advocacy. He’s become an “Intentional Peer Support Specialist,” facilitating group therapy sessions through the MHCA-RI OASIS mental health care center in Providence. The methodology, developed a quarter-century ago in Vermont, is 12step based and predicated on the idea that people who work together, recover together. Peer support is effective — not only does Norman have a unique insider understanding of the struggles of the people in his therapy groups, working with them helps him with his recovery as well. And recovery is the goal, make no mistake. Despite perceptions that mental illness is a permanent condition, 80 percent of those afflicted improve with treatment. Norman sees this every day. “I can help people, because I know what they are going through,” he says. “I’ve lived with suicide, my own attempts and suicide of loved ones; I’ve lived with homelessness; I’ve been drug-free for 21 years and alcohol-free for 17 years. I love what I do — it shows you what can happen when you get the treatment you need. “We need something like OASIS in the East Bay. It is the most cost efficient way to help those who suffer from mental illness.” Norman and other mental health advocates are clear about what they need. “The critical piece is legislation to reestablish and fund the CNOM program,” he says. “It is critical — it’s the last life line for people like me who fall between the cracks. They are also focused on better access to employment, housing, access to speedy treatment, and Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) for police. “We also need more funding for certified peer support specialists like me, because we not only understand mental illness but we understand the some times horrible side effects of the medications we are put on.” To that end, advocates are holding a Mental Health Recovery Day on Tuesday, March 3, beginning at Roger Williams Memorial Park at 2 p.m. There will be a rally at the State House from 2:30 p.m. until about 4:30 p.m., which will include an opportunity to spend a few moments with your representatives. Mental health advocates point out that money allocated to treatment and prevention is well spent when you consider the cost of ongoing support vs. crisis intervention, which may land a patient in the E.R., or Butler — at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars. It’s also a key component of other state priorities such as jobs and the economy. With more than a fifth of all workers suffering from moderate depression or worse, it makes a dramatic, measurable effect on productivity. And mental health issues are key to prison reform as well, when it is estimated that they contribute to criminal activity Rick Norman in as many as 30 percent of all incarcerated individuals. “Whether we treat mental illness or not, we will pay for it one way or the other,” Norman says. When he’s not working with OASIS or at the First United Methodist Church in Warren, where he serves as a part-time sexton, Norman volunteers with the Women’s Resource Center, Warren Quahog Festival, The Front Line Ministry for Freedom, Coggeshall Farm, and Art Night Bristol Warren. He’s hopeful that his efforts, and those of other mental health advocates, can turn the tide. They have the ear of legislators including Senator Walter Felag, (D-Dist. 10) who lost his own father to mental health issues 25 years ago and supports increased funding to address mental health issues. “I’m cognizant of the impact on loved ones,” Felag says. “We need to ensure that these health issues are addressed in the fiscal year budget.” Despite wanting very much to have hope, today, Norman is very scared for his own future if his health care shortfalls aren’t addressed soon. I’m one of those people who is falling through the cracks,” he says. “It shouldn’t be this way.” The Mental Health Walk-in Recovery Center where Norman volunteers, the MHCA-RI OASIS Center, is at 1280 North Main St., and the phone number is 401/8316937. Mental Health Recovery Day will be held Tuesday, March 3, beginning at Roger Williams Memorial Park on North Main St. in Providence at 2 p.m. followed by a rally at the State House. On the merits of criminalizing thought et’s get this out of the way. Whoever defaced the Rhode Island Muslim School with epithets and hateful language is a fool, an ignoramus, and should be prosecuted for vandalism. Should there, however, be an additional criminal count for a hate crime? The Arlene reality of a hate VIOLET crime conviction is that an extra 5 or 10 years is added to any sentence upon conviction. Does this make sense and is there an unintended consequence? “Hate crime” prosecution may make us feel good but is there collateral damage to freedom of speech? If someone hates a particular group doesn’t criminalizing it drive the reality of prejudice underground so we end up thinking we are more civilized than we are? Should we at all worry about having public officials be the arbiter of what is a “hate” action? Let’s say a loved one is killed for his money because the perpetrator is motivated by greed (the motive for the majority of times when robbery occurs, drug addiction being the other cause) should that greedy murderer get a lesser sentence than somebody motivated by hate? I struggle with the concept of actions being “hate crimes”. Perhaps it is because it invades everyday life. Minorities are the usual subjects but not solely of prejudicial actions against them. Two months ago a Muslim student at the University of Michigan published a column in the school newspaper about his perspective as a minority on campus. His doorway was littered with copies of his column telling him to shut up. In the past on the same campus a female videographer wanted to show her documentary on sex workers who saw their work as empowerment. A woman professor led her students to protest the showing of the documentary on the basis that the film was a “threat to their safety”. Political correctness has all but burst on campuses. The University of California Berkeley had an uprising against Bill Maher speaking on campus because he was critical of Islam (and all religions, for that matter). Condoleezza Rice steered clear of Rutgers last year after being invited to speak because some protestors saw her as a critic of Islam. As New York Magazine (January 26-February 8, 2015) recently noted, a growing number of campuses have professors now attaching “trigger warnings” to texts that might upset students along with a campaign to eradicate “micro aggressions” small social slights that might cause searing trauma (Id, p.35). A theatre group at Mount Holyoke recently announced that it would no longer put on “The Vagina Monologues” in part because the mate- rial excludes women without vaginas. My concern heightens when I see that identity politics is a reliable profit center for media. Social media bloggers are ready to pounce by launching hashtag campaigns in response to the slightest missteps. Politicians follow suit. The very act of institutionalizing hate crimes seems to baptize these efforts to squash free speech, no matter how stupid it is, by giving it the credibility of being a crime. Actions can be stupid too by spray painting obnoxious statements on a school, but whether that should earn you more time in the hoosegow is debatable. At least it seems so to me.

East Bay Life February 25-26, 2015 Page B3 NO FLUKE L 2015 saltwater fishing regulations, license bill and fishing show this week ast Monday’s Department of Environmental Management’s (DEM) recreational regulation workshop and public hearing meetings saw 80 anglers listening to stock status and 2014 fishing activity on a variety of recreational fishing species. Fishermen expressed their point of view and support (or non support) for proposed regulation options and some proposed alternative options. What do regulations look like for 2015? Capt. Dave Striped bass will MONTI likely be one fish/day at 28” minimum size for private anglers… charter boat catch limits are still up in the air. The first option proposed is one fish at 28” for all anglers; the second option on the table is one at 28” for private anglers and a two fish at 32” option for charter boats. There has been so much discussion and split thinking about the charter boat catch limit for striped bass that the Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association (RISAA) decided to poll its members with a survey, and have petitions available for the general public at its New England Saltwater Fishing Show this weekend. The Association will use survey and petition results to formulate its final position. Summer flounder (fluke) quotas were overfished in RI last year. Most at the meetings last week supported the status quo option of an 18” minimum size at eight fish/angler/day with the same season length. Speculation is that RI will make summer flounder regulations a bit more conservative this year to fend off criticism from other states about our over fishing last year. Perhaps the bag limit will be reduced a bit, and/or even an increased minimum size to 18 ?” Tautog support fell to status quo (the same as last year), 16” minimum size with split seasons… three fish in the spring and late summer seasons with a six fish bag limit in the fall (with a ten fish boat limit which does not apply to charter boats). However, a new stock assessment has been approved for use but will not likely engage for use until 2016, we may have the same regulations in 2015 as last year but 2016 is likely The Tides* to bring more conservative regulations. Black sea bass landings in Rhode Island must be reduced by a third this year. The solution that received the most support was one that started the season in June (as early as possible) with one fish and then increased the number of fish to five to seven in the fall. Both 13” and 14” fish are being considered to reduce landings. New England Saltwater Fishing Show this weekend The New England Saltwater Fishing Show is this week at the Rhode Island Convention Center Friday, February 27, noon to 8 p.m.; Saturday, February 28, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sunday, March 1, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit over 225 exhibitors including tackle, rods, reels, lures, electronics, charter guides, boats, motors, accessories, clothing and much more.

Bill to repeal fishing license law meets opposition Five Rhode Island state representatives (Filippi, Reilly, Craven, Shekarchi and Price) have submitted a bill to repeal the “Recreational Saltwater Fishing License” that has been in effect since 2010. The Rhode Island Saltwater Angles Association said they are opposed to repealing the license law. Steve Medeiros, president of the RISAA said, “If this bill passes it will be a huge setback to fishing access, fish abundance and conservation in RI.” HiAM Wednesday, February 25 12:52 (4.3) Thursday, February 26 1:52 (4.0) Friday, February 27 2:56 (3.7) Saturday, February 28 4:03 (3.6) Sunday, March 1 5:04 (3.7) Monday, March 2 5:54 (3.8) Tuesday, March 3 6:36 (3.9) Wednesday, March 4 7:13 (4.0) Thursday, March 5 7:47 (4.0) The license bill was originally developed with support from the fishing community, and enabled RI anglers to register with the state rather than the federally mandated registry. Over the past two fiscal years the bill has or will turn $478,397 in license funds into nearly $2 million with Fish & Wildlife Service three-to-one matching funds. Funds raised are in a restricted account and spent on fishing and access to fishing. If these funds are eliminated, RI will lose out on federal matching funds. Projects in FY 2014 included an upgrade to the Galilee boat ramp; funds to start an artificial reef project in Narragansett and Mt. Hope Bays; production of the Rhode Island Recreational Saltwater Fishing Guide; support to the boating/fishing access site maintenance program; support for finfish surveys for stock assessments; management of the Marine Recreational Fisheries Program; and purchase of additional MRIP intercept interviews. Projects proposed for FY 2015 include boating/fishing access projects such as the Godard State Park boat ramp; fish stock assessment support; support for the artificial reef; and enhanced MRIP data collection. The state representatives submitting the bill believe recreational fishermen in Rhode Island do not want a license law and claim it impedes a fisherman’s right to fish. In checking reports from when the license bill was passed in 2010, advocates for the law believed that the days of unrestricted fishing were over and that individuals did not have the right to over fish to the point of fish species extinction and the determent of the common good. At press time the House Bill (#5352) to repeal the saltwater license law was scheduled for a hearing Thursday, February 26 before the Rhode Island House Environment and Natural Resource committee. Anglers are urged to relate their thoughts on the bill to committee members, bill sponsors, and their local state representative.

We complain of shoveling and getting out in this weather but think of what people up until the early 20th century had to Karen with—no WATERMAN deal furnaces or central heat, no snowblowers or trucks with plows to clear the street. Most houses had one fireplace and that would heat that one room only. A lot of preparations were required before retiring for the night. In the 15th and 16th centuries, stones were put in the fire and when hot were wrapped in rags then put in the bed. In the 17th and 18th centuries, bed warmers evolved to a metal pan (usually copper) with a long handle which held hot small stones. Some may have used sand, embers, coal or peat but you can imagine what a mess this would have made of the bed sheets! The wealthy had more elaborate versions, some made of silver, brass, or ceramic with piercings and designs. In the 19th century, the bed warmer was still an important household item but instead of being a pan which held hot stones or embers, it evolved into a vessel which held hot water (and had a screw cap). It was much like an early hot water bottle. Because almost every house had one, bed warmers are readily found in the marketplace. The earliest examples are usually not in the best condition due to heavy use. The pans may be dented due to the soft metals like copper that were used and the hot stones placed inside. Most typically sell in the range of $20 to $200. Karen Waterman is an antique furniture and decorative arts appraiser. Questions your own hidden treasures?

Prepare for a rebuilding year A s Fenway was unrecognizable under more than 6 feet of snow, the Red Sox opened spring training with a sunny optimism that reflected their Florida weather. No matter that the team has no “ace” on the staff or even a starting rotation that any of the Fenway faithful can name. One of the new players, Pablo Sandoval or “Panda,” is expected to be a force in the lineup but has become better Cara CROMWELL known as the player who hasn’t missed too many meals when he showed up for spring training sporting a big bit of a belly. Regardless of the team’s shortcomings — or oversized players — baseball is almost back and we can all be happy to root for a team that has won three World Series in just a little over a decade — even if no one wants to “bell the cat” and call it a rebuilding year. Back here in frozen Rhode Island, the business community and political circles have been buzzing since the election about success too. Governor Raimondo has been working closely with legislative leaders, has built a strong cabinet and hired wellrespected staff from all over the country. Unfortunately her press conference last week reminded everyone that Rhode Island remains in dire straits and that tough days are ahead. The message was simple: we have some serious problems and we need to make some tough decisions to reposition ourselves for success. She led the audience through a powerpoint dose of reality. Our economy is lagging: we are 47th in employment and 48th in short and long term growth. We are not successful at educating future workers: 66 percent of CCRI students require remediation courses. Our budget deficit is growing and we have high costs in Medicaid (2nd highest spending per enrollee in the country) and fire safety (2nd highest fire safety costs in the country). If this was a State of the State address, the state of Rhode Island would be poor. With the problems identified, we need to acknowledge that we need to rebuild and do things differently than we’ve done before. If we continue to make the same (bad) choices, we’re going to end up with the same bad results. While a governor in Rhode Island has little power with no line item veto and no ability to put a referendum on the ballot, she can use the budget process and the bully pulpit to drive policy. And while I admit that I am a “homer” I think that what she has identified as our core problems are almost indisputable. Right now we have a leader who has proven that’s she’s willing to be unpopular to be successful, so I fully expect that some of the solutions she proposes will not make everyone happy. Red Sox fans surely remember when the “new owners” traded Nomar Garciaparra on July 31, 2004. Was it heartbreaking? Yes. Did it make the team better? Yes. Did the Red Sox win the World Series in 2004? Hell, yes. Let’s face it — it’s a rebuilding year for the Red Sox and for Rhode Island too. Tough days are ahead but hopefully better years will follow.

East Bay Life February 25-26, 2015 Page B5 DINING REVIEW NIBBLES Bluewater has a flavorful, fresh, colorful menu to fight the winter blues A popular find for East Bay residents is the Bluewater Bar & Grill, hidden on a side street between the Warren and Barrington bridges. Tucked next to a marina, the restaurant appropriately has a nautical theme with lots of wood, sea charts and a model boat. At the entrance, turn to the cozy, elegant bar on the left or the two dining rooms to the right. Straight ahead is the open kitchen, where you can see the action and wave to Chef/owner Brian Thimme. The vaulted ceiling in the main dining room has two bold, oval cuts with attractive arched windows in the alcove. There are nautical-style lamps and big 12-paned windows overlooking the snowshrouded boats next door. In the summer, a patio is popular. A $1 raw bar is offered daily from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. On Tuesdays, all pasta entrees are $10. On Wild Wednesdays, get a free app or dessert when you order two entrees. On Thirsty Thursdays, get a bottle of wine for half price when you order two entrees. There are half-price appetizers from 8 to 10 p.m. on Live Music Saturdays with casual acoustic music by local musicians. And, on Sundays, kits eat free (up to two kids meals with the purchase of one entrée) and there are $3 drafts. And a $15 winter menu (all winter) offers $15 bottles of wine and $15 entrees (mix and match), including chicken scallopini, eggplant rollatini, panko fried sole, linguine and littlenecks, skillet-seared pork sirloin with Brussels sprouts, shallots and maple bacon, and potato gnocchi in a pink vodka sauce. Specials on the evening we visited were beef barley soup, tuna steak, and a stuffed sole with crab and spinach. Our server, Emily, brought a basket of crusty Tuscan-style bread and butter with our wine. There is an extensive list of selections from around the world, along with lots of martinis and signature drinks. We decided to try the most Bluewater Bar & Grill 32 Barton Ave., Barrington 401/247-0017 www.bluewatergrillri.com Hours: Dinner daily from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Monday to Thursday, until 10 p.m. on Friday and later on Saturday for live music, and from 4 to 9 p.m. on Sunday. Most popular dishes: Grilled pizza, fried yellow tomato with burrata, mini rigatoni, Chatham cod, seared salmon, and grass-fed beef burgers. popular appetizers and they lived up to their reputation and were works of art, too, arranged on white, rectangular plates. Chef Thimme’s presentations are all impeccable. The fried yellow tomato featured two slices of the sunny tomato crumbed and fried, then topped with prosciutto, burrata, roasted red peppers and basil. The two towers sat on drizzles of olive oil and a balsamic reduction. The creamy burrata, crisp tomato, fresh basil and salty prosciutto were a gorgeous combination. The pork wontons are an inspired dish. Eight-hour braised pork is tossed with housemade barbecue sauce, shredded carrots and Napa cabbage and piled into crunchy, flower-shaped wontons. The slightly sweet pork and sharp cabbage perfectly contrasted and complimented each other. Other starters include a raw bar, New England clam chowder, soup du jour, Point Judith calamari, Tuscan bruschetta, Prince Edward Island mussels, littlenecks casino, grilled pizzas and salads. Seared salmon with a sweet /spicy chili glaze was topped with smoked bacon, mushrooms and roasted baby bok choy. Wild rice was a perfect side. A big, shallow soup plate held a generous serving of mini rigatoni tossed in a parmesan Marsala cream with diced tomatoes, rounds of savory veal sausage and bites of fork-tender chicken breast. Toasted panko crumbs were the crowning touch. Other entrees are beef tenderloin Marsala with mushrooms and artichoke hearts, chicken gorgonzola with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, flat iron sirloin with Brussels sprouts, shrimp fra diavolo, lasagna romano with baby spinach, Chatham cod with artichoke hearts, olives, yellow tomatoes and asparagus; mushroom ravioli with grilled asparagus; penne with chicken and broccoli; prosciutto sea scallops with cauliflower puree; a harvest risotto with golden beets, baby spinach, carrots, roasted cherry tomatoes and thyme; and a seafood paella with shrimp, mussels, littlenecks, lobster tail, chorizo, sweet peas and plum tomatoes. For lighter appetites, there’s a sole sandwich, grass-fed burgers and salads topped with salmon, scallops, chicken or shrimp. If you notice, practically every dish at Bluewater boasts fresh vegetables. Something especially appreciated during a cold, frosty winter. We really didn’t need dessert, but they all sound so good — a mixed berry tart, Ghirardelli brownie sundae, Limoncello mascarpone cake, gluten-free lava cake, caramel granola pudding, and handmade ice creams and sorbets from the Ice Cream Machine. And, add an espresso or cappuccino. The pudding sounded light and is was perfect. A custard (more like a crème patisserie) was layered with caramel glaze and topped with a granola crumble, whipped cream and fresh, sweet strawberry slices. Served in a mini-souffle dish, it was not too sweet, incredibly creamy and just divine. And, don’t forget, Bluewater is available for a private party (showers, Communions, funerals).

You may also see “halos” around lights. A cataract is any clouding or opacity in the normally transparent eye lens. Most cataracts develop as part of the aging process when the chemical composition of the lens changes. Studies have also shown that prolonged exposure to sunlight over many years (particularly the ultraviolet-B rays) can hasten the development. Cataracts can occur at any age and may be due to an eye injury, certain eye diseases, medical conditions (such as diabetes), heredity, birth defects, some medications (such as steroids), excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking. Once removed, cataracts will not grow back. We recommend frequent eye examinations and tests which are critical for monitoring your eyes for any changes and may help prevent unnecessary vision loss. If you have questions regarding cataracts, or any other eye health concerns please call us at 2472015 to schedule an appointment. We’re located at 24 Bosworth Street, Barrington Shopping Center, Barrington. P.S. In the early stages of a cataract, stronger lighting and eyeglasses can help with blurred vision.

East Bay Real Estate EASTBAYClassifieds.com February 25-27, 2015 Page C1 ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME WITH THESE RENOVATIONS BY JOAN D. WARREN Homeowners choose renovation projects for a variety of reasons. Although many improvements are made to increase functionality and comfort of a home, several others are seen as worthwhile investments. These investments can add up to a higher resale value when the time comes to sell a home. Certain projects have a history of providing a greater return on homeowners’ investments than others. The following renovation tips can add beauty to your home and generate great returns when you put the home up for sale. Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels are a safe bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home. Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. It’s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel investment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be necessary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen. Look to paint. One of the least expensive improvement materials, but one that has a significant impact, is paint. Neutral, modern colors can easily liven up any space. If you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise an eco-friendly home, which is very desirable these days. Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an attractive selling point, particularly in older homes that may not have been equipped with more than one bathroom. Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but consider closets, areas under stairs or even taking some space away Finding space to install an extra bathroom in a home can be a worthwhile investment. from another room. Popular home-improvement television channel HGTV advises that halfbathrooms require at least 18 square feet of space, while full baths need 30 to 35 square feet for a stand-up shower or bathtub. Renovate the HVAC system. Aesthetic improvements aren’t the only ones that add value to a home. Many home buyers are eager to purchase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers understand that furnaces and air conditioning units are substantial investments that can last for years. Other improvements, such as adding attic insulation or replacing older windows and doors with more energy efficient options, also are smart bets. Add illumination to rooms. A dark home is a dreary home. Adding light can mean including more overhead and accent lighting. Under-cabinet task lighting is a nice touch. Inclusion of skylights and sun tubes can bring natural light into rooms that may not have south- or west-facing windows. Put a deck addition outdoors. Outdoor living spaces have become more desirable, especially as the "staycation" has grown in popularity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appeal- ing. The scope of your investment will depend on the size of the deck and design. Doing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project. Improve curb appeal. Adding attractive landscaping and freshening up the entryway to a home can add considerable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may never be seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attractive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting front door and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home. Before making improvements, homeowners should determine if a given project will provide a solid return on their investment. The Sign you want.

The strongest growth over the past year has been in Construction (8.4%), thanks to a combination of strong employment growth, wage growth and an increase in hours worked. Manufacturing WVI advanced by 6.3% due to growth in wages and employment in large companies with more than 1,000 workers. The WVI in Leisure & Hospitality and Trade advanced just over 6%, due to solid gains in both wages and employment. Financial service workers enjoyed strong wage growth of 5.9%, but experienced weak employment growth. The weakest index growth has been in Professional/Business Services and the Education/Healthcare sector, mostly due to weak wage growth. The WVI is growing most quickly for younger workers, those under 25 years of age. During the past four quarters it grew by 8.6%. The annual turnover rate for workers under 25 was 49% in 2014, compared to an average of 23% nationwide, indicating more opportunities in the labor market for this age group. Wages for those in the under-25 group grew more than twice as fast as the wages of any other group.
