As old plows collapse, rare new arrival comes to the rescue

Westport's gaining snowplow team has taken
a beating this winter but reinforcements have
arrived in the nick of time.
A new Freightliner heavy-duty custom dump
truck rolled in last week and will be ready for its
first action if snow arrives Thursday.
"It's a beauty — shiny new, no rust," said
interim Highway Surveyor Chris Gonsalves.
"We're not used to brand new around here."
Especially painful was having to leave the
new arrival parked during last Wednesday's
snow, especially with so many of his other
aging plows suffering from one malady or
another.
"It was here, all ready to go but no plates."
Tempting as it may have been to set out anyway, he didn't risk it. "Got to follow protocol.
That probably wouldn't have been a great
idea."

EAST BAY LIFE
Students at Westport High
School will soon have more
Advanced Placement (AP) courses available to them, thanks to
funding from the Westport Education Foundation.
An AP Art class has been
approved as the first grant from
the foundation’s Lydia Poole
Barker Memorial Fund. The
funding will allow the school’s
art teacher to apply for training
in March and to offer students
AP drawing next year.
The school also plans to
expand its science curriculum
by adding an AP physics course
next year for sophomores who
have completed Algebra and
Honors Geometry.
Westport High School Principal Cheryl Tutalo said that, in
January, the school applied for
funding from the Massachusetts
Math & Science Initiative to pay
for the training of a teacher to
offer the advanced physics class.
The school expects to get word
on its application this spring.
However, should the initiative
decline Westport’s application,
the Education Foundation will
step in to fund the training.
“The foundation has been key
in our ability to provide the
training for the teachers,” Ms.
Tutalo said.
With the addition of AP
physics and art, Westport High
will be at the national average
for AP offerings at a high school.
The school currently has AP
courses (for juniors and seniors)
in English, calculus, statistics,
U.S. history, biology and psychology.
“The benefit (of AP classes) to
students is to clearly make them

First Westport and then the state
saluted Westport's Carol Vidal over
the past week for her work on
behalf of the Westport Cultural
Council.
On Saturday, the council and
friends gathered in the Westport
Public Library's Manton Room for
a reception in her honor.
Next, on Monday, the Westport
Board of Selectmen presented a
citation to Ms. Vidal at their
evening meeting.
And Tuesday, it was off to the
State House where the Massachusetts Cultural Council was scheduled to present her with its MCC
Leadership Circle Award, an honor
that is only presented every two
years. Ms. Vidal was one of only
two people in Massachusetts to
receive the honor this year from
among the state's 327 Cultural
Councils.
The award honors Cultural
Council volunteers for their work
on behalf of local art, science and
culture. The nomination was prepared by Westport Cultural Council
member Irene Buck and came as a

PLOW: Finally — A new weapon against snow
From Page 1
But by Friday, plates were in
hand, Westport town logo was
ready to be applied and the truck
was set for whatever Thursday's
storm delivers.
Westport Town Meeting voters
approved the $141,000 purchase
last spring in a near-unanimous
vote. The bidding process produced a truck whose price came
in just within that amount.
"It comes with everything
needed for the job," Mr. Gonsalves said. Most important, "It's
built strong, built to last."
Heavy equipment operator
Andrew Sousa played a key roll in
assembling the specs for the new
truck (and will get to drive it).
Since a new truck is a rare event,
they wanted to get it right, both
said.
The six-wheel custom-made
dump truck is heavy duty in
every way, he said, has superior
load capacity, and can switch
between missions with ease. A
nice touch is a load covering
mechanism that can be operated
from within the cab.
"With the other trucks, someone has to climb up there and
cover the load — and that takes
time," and isn't always safe, Mr.
Sousa said.
The new truck, unlike its mostly green predecessors, is jet
black.
"We've really got all color
trucks down here — green, white,
blue. I think the black looks pretty good, don't you?" he added.
Crippled fleet
The need for a new truck is evident inside and out at the Highway Department yard.
The last storm, though not
major, took out three of the
fleet's six heavy-duty plow trucks
whose ages are mostly mid-to
late teens. One had been fixed as
of Friday, two were still in the
garage awaiting work.
"The worst was a broken hanger bearing," Mr. Sousa said. That
part holds the drive shaft up —
"It's pretty important. The truck
barely limped home." Broken
wheel rims is another common
malady.
And as usual, most of the 1950s
vintage plow blades were in for
repairs. Even days after the
storm, a welder was working on
them.
"This happens every time,

even little storms," Mr. Gonsalves said. The blades are so old
and corroded that it's hard to
find solid steel to reattach parts
that break off.
"The crazy thing is that we
always spend way more time fixing broken things than we spend
plowing snow. It's not very cost
effective," Mr. Gonsalves said.
He led a quick tour down
below the highway yard. Parked
there in the snow are six elderly
vehicles of different types.
"All of them except one died
this year … pretty sad," Mr. Gonsalves said.
Brine sprayer
One improvement that has had
to wait is the new brine sprayer
that Mr. Gonsalves had hoped
would be ready to help deal with
this winter's snow and ice.
The system is used to spray
brine onto roads as pre-treatment to prevent a layer of ice
from clinging to roads as storms
begin.
"It would enable us to get a
head start on the snow," both by
slowing the rate at which it accumulates on roads and causing it
to melt away faster.

Westport battles storage barn blaze
Firefighters from Westport and
surrounding towns battled a latenight fire that caused heavy
damage to a large one-story
barn-like structure at 212 American Legion Highway.
Fire Department Captain
Michael P. Silvia said the blaze,
which was reported at three minutes past midnight Tuesday,
damaged to about half of the
wooden structure but that other
portions were spared. He
described it as a 100-foot by 500foot building divided into sections, used largely for storage.
"While extinguishing the fire,
firefighters had to overcome not
only the size of the building that
was subdivided into smaller
units, each the size of a two-stall
garage, but the cold weather and
the lack of hydrants in the area,"
Capt. Silvia said.
He said the situation had similarities to last week's fire at a flea
market in Tiverton, a blaze that
Westport fire crews helped fight.
In both cases, the buildings
were divided into many sections
and both "were filled with 1,001
items of every description." He
said he saw car parts, farm
equipment, furniture, tools —
"you name it."
And outside the structure,
which is reached by a 500-foot
driveway off the north side of
Route 177, were a number of old
cars and boats parked in the
snow.
The owner of the property was
reported as Jeremiah Torres of
Westport.
Crews from Tiverton, Dartmouth (Districts 2 and 3) and Little Compton helped fight the fire
and transport water to the scene.
Since there are no nearby
hydrants, water had to be carried
in by tanker trucks.
Although it took crews about
an hour to control the fire, firefighters remained on the scene
past sunrise to make sure it did
not rekindle. There were no
reported injuries.
The cause of the fire and value
of loss to building and contents
has not been determined.
The Westport Fire Investigation Unit along with Westport
Police responded to conduct an
origin and cause investigation.
RICHARD W. DIONNE JR.
An all-terrain vehicle is among the items that filled this fire-damaged section of the large building.
Bridge bill aims to knock
toll off the table
Provides $900 million
over next decade
for all roads, bridge
Let them know that you stand behind negotiations that will lead to two states for two peoples living side by side in peace and security
and that you are part of the great constituency
for peace.
BY BRUCE BURDETT
[email protected]
Lawmakers are crafting a bill
that they say will provide enough
money to maintain all of the
state’s bridges and roads a decade
and more into the future without
tolling the Sakonnet River Bridge.
That bill, a product of the special legislative panel tasked with
seeking ways to fund bridge maintenance, should be complete
within the week, said state Rep.
Jay Edwards. He and others outlined the likely highlights at a
gathering
hosted
by
the
Portsmouth Concerned Citizens
last Wednesday.
The bill will identify $900,000
worth of revenue from a variety of
sources to care for the bridges, he
said. Rep. Edwards, Senator
Christopher Ottiano and Sen.
Louis DiPalma are the primary
authors but “we are getting considerable input from others” on
the special panel. “It’s not just the
few of us in the East Bay who are
involved in putting this together.”
Senator DiPalma, too, believes
this bill is already garnering
broad-based support on the committee and beyond.
“One of the criticisms before
has been from people in other
parts of the state who say, ‘I don’t
want to pay for their bridge.’” This
measure, however, goes “beyond
just our bridges. It addresses
transportation needs — bridges
and roads — across the state for
the next decade.”
The legislation, the authors
said, will identify several sources
for bridge maintenance money:
■ A state constitutional amendment now forbids the state from
spending more than 97 percent of
its revenue — the balance goes to
the state ‘rainy-day’ fund for use in
capital spending needs. Their
transportation bill would gradually (over six years) increase that
restriction to 95.5 percent — “That
additional 1.5 percent, amounting
to about $52.5 million a year,
would be dedicated to maintaining our bridges,” Rep. Edwards
said.
“Every department is getting a
1.5 percent haircut but the result
benefits every department.” Higher education, for instance — “If
you can’t get to URI or RIC
because our roads and bridges are
falling apart, then higher education has a serious problem.”
“It doesn’t happen overnight,”
Sen. DiPalma added. “If we can’t
find a quarter percent per year in
our state budget, we’ve got bigger
problems than bridges … This is
clearly a joint effort and a bipartisan effort — a collaboration —
the result of which will be to
answer a statewide problem.”

■ A 5 percent surcharge would
be tacked on to Department of
Motor Vehicle fees for five years
only — “The law would include a
sunset provision” ending the 5
percent surcharge after five years.
This would generate about $45
million during the first five “lean
years” while the state pays off its
remaining bridge debt, Rep.
Edwards said. Thereafter, the
money that had been spent on
debt will be used for bridges.
There would be other smaller
revenue sources, he said, “but
these are the big ones.”
■ The measure would specifically forbid any toll on the Sakonnet River Bridge.
■ The bill would provide substantially more money for the RI
Public Transit Authority, Sen.
DiPalma said.
■ The legislation would place
the Rhode Island Turnpike and
Bridge Authority (RITBA), which
oversees the four big East Bay
Bridges, within the state Department of Transportation.
The benefit of this, Rep.
Edwards said, is that RITBA could
continue to toll the Newport Pell
Bridge — “We will still need that
revenue” — and tolling is a power
that RIDOT does not have.
“RITBA would continue to collect tolls,” added Sen. DiPalma.
“They are very good at that.”
■ The omnibus bill will delay
implementation of Sakonnet River Bridge tolls from April 1 to July
1.
The plan, Mr. Edwards said, is to
introduce the bridge revenue
measures within the state budget
“so that Governor Chafee, who
has been laser-focused on tolling
this bridge from the outset” won’t
be able to veto the bridge funding
package. The governor does not
have line item veto power so could
not single the measures out from
within the budget, he added.
“This state faces a billion dollar
transportation
infrastructure
issue” and this bill offers a solution using “mostly existing money,” Sen. DiPalma added.

Opinion
EDITORIAL
I
At long last,
a bridge plan
t took a toll furor to achieve it, but Rhode Island
finally has the outline of a real plan to care for its
tired bridges and roads.
First glimpses of a bill designed by members of a
special legislative panel were revealed this week
and the results are promising not just for those who abhor
the idea of a steep toll on what amounts to a neighborhood
bridge.
The beauty of this one — and what sets it apart from past
proposals — is that it addresses far more than the maintenance of four bridges in one corner of the state. The plan
crafted by East Bay lawmakers and supposedly backed by a
broader bipartisan coalition focuses on the big picture —
keeping all of the state’s bridges upright for decades to
come.
The Rhode Island way has typically been to ignore bridge
maintenance until it is way too late, then borrow to build
anew. The shortsighted Chafee plan was to halt that borrowing and replace it with tolls paid by those in an out-ofthe-way corner of the state, their neighbors in Southeastern Massachusetts, and tourists (until they wised up and
headed to more welcoming places).
This plan relies mostly on money that the state already
has by setting up what amounts to an enforced savings
plan for roads and bridges. In the same way that a small
amount set aside each paycheck can fund a retirement,
this plan calls for an across-the-board ‘haircut’ says one
author— trim is more like it given the modest scale of the
cut.
It also would consolidate the Rhode Island Turnpike and
Bridge Authority within the state Department of Transportation, putting an end to what has proven a confusing,
counterproductive and costly way of caring for roads and
bridges.
Worn out bridges and roads are a crisis statewide and
previous plans, especially the Sakonnet River toll scheme,
ignored the full scope of the mess.
Finally a plan has emerged that is worthy of support even
among those who never cross the Sakonnet and could care
less whether it is tolled.
The special committee was charged with delivering a
plan to address the big picture of failed and failing bridges
and roads. It has done just that.

To the editor:
Recently, in this newspaper,
there was a picture on the editorial page showing a horse and wagon on Horseneck Beach. Gooseberry Island is in the background
with the Navy cruiser Yankee
aground on Old Cock Ledge.
I have written about the Yankee
before but it is quite long and I will
tell a small portion here.
The ship was built of steel in
1892 as a 380-foot merchantman.
In 1898 the Yankee was purchased
by the U.S. Navy and had a varied
life for the Navy.
In 1908, the vessel was having
torpedo practice in Vineyard
Sound. During that time, a torpedo exploded in the tube. I have a
picture showing a large black area
where the explosion took place.
The ship was not harmed and,
after practice, she headed around
Penekese Island to take a westerly
course to Newport.
It was thick fog and, upon clearing the island, a horn was heard
from a ship entering Buzzard’s
Bay. The captain ordered the
engine room to go astern to get
out of the channel. When a ship
with a single screw and right-hand
propeller goes into reverse, the
stern will go to port. The bigger
the propeller, the pronounced
that swing is. So, going astern
with the Yankee would have
caused the bow to head north.
When the captain ordered the
engineer to go ahead and thinking
the ship was still on a westerly
course, she drove right onto the
ledge. I believe the captain had
never backed a ship such a great
distance.
A man named Arbunckle was
awarded the contract to raise the
ship and take it to Newport. He
had never salvaged a ship before
but he had the best idea.
Mr. Arbuckle’s crew sealed the
ship and made everything air tight.
Big compressors on deck filled that
craft with air and it floated off but a
storm was brewing. It was decided to tow the ship to New Bedford
because of the storm. The towline
kept parting. Off Dumpling Light
the tug came alongside to pass over
a new line. A sea slammed the tug
into the ship and broke open a port
hole. The Yankee lies just off the
light and scuba divers have fun on
it.
The total history of the Yankee is
interesting but long.
Cukie Macomber
Westport
New Year’s trek leads
Cookie far from home
A small dog with wanderlust
started the new year far from
home and family.
Cookie, a young part-dachshund mix, is back home in
Everett, Mass. (just north of
Boston) now after an adventure
that took him all the way to
Tiverton.
The details of how Cookie
landed in Tiverton are a bit hazy.
A family from this area had
gone to Boston to watch the fireworks when they found a dog
“somewhere along the Red Line”
that seemed lost. The dog had no
identification and, rather than
leave it out in the cold, they
decided to take it home and
hand it over to animal control
there.
The dog wound up with Tiverton Animal Control Officer
Thomas Brown who brought it to
Sakonnet Veterinary Hospital
which takes care of the town’s
stray dogs.
Deanna Baxter of Sakonnet
Vets said that she put word out
via calls to the Massachusetts
Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, animal control
offices and through Facebook in
hopes of locating the owner.
Meanwhile, the owners (who
declined an interview request
except to say that Cookie had
bolted during the fireworks) were
doing the same.
“The happy ending is that,
through MSPCA, there was a
reunion here in Tiverton,” said
Ms. Baxter. Lezlie Souza, who
TAKE
Cookie
brought Cookie out to meet her
owners, reported that both
“mother and son (were) crying
tears of joy.”
If Cookie does wander off again,
he should be easier to find. At the
family’s request, Sakonnet Vets
implanted a microchip in the dog
with information about his home
and owners.
Ms. Baxter described Cookie as
a very friendly dog “who was very
happy to see his family again —
super wiggly.”
CLASSES: More AP classes coming to WHS
From Page 1
more college ready,” Ms. Tutalo
said, adding that statistics show
that many students struggle in
their first year of college because
they are ill-equipped to handle
50
%
the workload that college
demands.
She also said that the training
teachers receive for AP classes
isn’t limited to those advanced
courses.
“They can use that training in
all of their classes,” she said.

organization which raises private

Jerry is a successful writer of
advertising jingles married to
Alice, an equally successful
lawyer. Living with the happy couple is the not-so-happy Abe, Jerry’s curmudgeon of a father-inlaw. The situation is exacerbated
when Jerry’s mother, Mildred, loses her house and needs a place to
stay. Abe and Mildred can’t stand
each other. Throw in a quirky
Puerto Rican handyman, a cardplaying pal of Abe’s, and the couple’s German Gestapo-like nanny
and you have all the ingredients
for this hilarious play.

AROUND TOWN
From FACING PAGE
Feb. 15, at 1 p.m., The Trustees of
Reservations will lead a workshop
to build nest boxes for Eastern
Screech Owls. It’s at the Watuppa
Reservation Headquarters at 2929
Blossom Road.
The Eastern Screech Owl is
common wherever trees are
found and is most often identified
by its trilling or whinnying call.
These owls readily use nest boxes
and attracting them to the area
helps to control mice, voles and
other rodent populations that can
damage gardens.
Volunteers can build a nest box
for these nocturnal neighbors and
take it home for themselves or
leave it behind for The Trustees to
use on one of their South Coast
properties.
Building the nest boxes is free,
but taking one home costs $5 for
Trustees members and $15 for
non-members. All box materials
and hardware are provided, but
it’s helpful for volunteers to bring
an extra hammer. To register, call
508/636-4693, ext. 103, or visit

Pressure defense propels Westport over Avon
BY STEVE VIERRA
[email protected]
WESTPORT — The Westport
boys’ basketball team was able to
pull off a convincing 64-48 victory
over Avon Friday evening in a
competitive battle of scoring runs
and defensive intensity.
Westport came out of the gate
strong and built a comfortable
lead. However, this
WHS 64 proved to be shortlived as Avon came
AHS 48
charging back to close
the gap in the third quarter.
The Wildcats started out the
game playing aggressive defense
and pressed full court after every
basket they made. On a miss they
would set up in man-to-man
defense and pressure the Avon
Orioles into taking contested outside shots.
Captain Riche Hartnett carried
a majority of the scoring load
dropping 11 first half points to go
with
some
big
defensive
rebounds.
At halftime the Wildcats led 3324 and appeared to be in full control of the game. But coming out
of the break, the Wildcats’ offense
became stagnant and the team

drought.
“The game got close because we
port Head Coach Scot Boudria.
Avon’s Garrett Blunk got hot
scoring 8 points in the third quarter from corner jump shots set up
by good ball movement.
Avon was able to rally and get
the score to 39-37 with 1:43
remaining in the third quarter. But
that was as close as they would
get.
Westport picked up the intensity of their full court press in the
fourth quarter to force turnovers
and rebuild their lead.
“We just worked as hard as we
could on defense and tried to
press them to create turnovers
and then use those turnovers to
score baskets.” Captain Chris Silvia said.
Westport rebounded exceptionally well throughout the game, led
were missing easy shots. We were
getting good looks but the shots
just weren’t falling in,” said West-
by Richie Hartnett who recorded
13 rebounds to contribute to his
double-double game.
The final score was 64-48 with
Westport coming out on top over
Avon. Coach Boudria said the
Wildcats played good pressure
defense and hit a lot of threes. He
also credited the team’s success to
good fundamental play, rebounding and Captain Tommy Yeargin’s
ability to take care of the ball and
avoid turnovers throughout the
game.
This game was played as part of
Senior Night at Westport High
School. The senior members of
the team who were honored
include Tommy Yeargin, Chris Silvia, Jacob Bailey, Evan Canepa,
George Machairas, and Richie
Hartnett.

Westport Police: Car stop leads to two drug arrests
Friday, Jan. 31
After a 5:36 p.m. motor vehicle stop at
the intersection of Route 88 and American Legion Highway, police charged
Keith A. Spooner, 54, of 121 Cornell
Road, Westport, with possession of a
Class B drug.
Mariano C. DaPonte, 58, of 21 Forsythia
Lane, Westport, was charged with
indecent assault on a child under age
18. The arrest was made by detectives
Ryan Nickelson and Jeff Majewski after
an investigation prompted by a complaint to police. The victim, a girl, “was

Tom Yeargin finished the game with three points, seven assists and
three steals.
Wildcats stun
DI Brockton
It wouldn’t have been unrealistic to predict a whupping with this
one — big Division 1 Brockton
(enrollment 4,000-plus) against
little Division 3 Westport (enrollment 500 or so).
And that’s just what it turned
out to be as Westport
WHS 73 rolled over the Brockton Boxers 73-55
BHS 55
behind immense performances by Chad Willard and
Richie Hartnett.
Willard poured in a career-best
32 points, with three steals and six
rebounds.Hartnett nearly pulled
off a triple double with 25 points,
19 rebounds (13 of them offensive),
seven assists and three steals.
The two teams went back and
forth through the first half with
several big momentum swings.
The Wildcats seemed poised to
put the game away early when
they burst from the gate at the
start of the second quarter with 9
straight points, six of them by
Hartnett, to take a 10 point lead.
But the Boxers fought back and
knotted the game at 27 apiece
before Hartnett grabbed an offensive rebound and scored to give
Westport a 2 point lead at halftime.
Thereafter it was mostly Wildcats as Westport put its scouting
work to good use and figured out
the Brockton zone defense. The
team went on a 10-2 run to open
the second half with a big spark
from Chris Silvia who scored nine
points in the third quarter (13
overall). For the quarter, Westport
outscored Brockton 23-14 in the
quarter and never looked back.
Westport got all of its points
from four players but Coach Scot
Boudria said it was a team effort
made possible by the pressure
defense and crisp passing of all of
his players.
Scoring in addition to Willard
and Hartnett were Chris Silvia
with 13 points and six assists, and
Tom Yeargin with three points,
seven assists and three steals. Alex
Machairas contributed four
assists.

Workshop to teach owl nest box building
The Trustees of Reservations will lead a workshop
on Saturday, Feb. 15, at 1 p.m. to show how to build
nest boxes for Eastern Screech Owls. The workshop
will take place at the Watuppa Reservation Headquarters at 2929 Blossom Road in Fall River.
The Eastern Screech Owl is common wherever
trees are found and is most often identified by its
trilling or whinnying call. These owls readily use nest
boxes and attracting them to the area helps to control mice, voles, and other rodents that can damage
gardens. Their haunting nighttime calls are a
reminder of the often unseen wildlife that is all
around us.
Volunteers can build a nest box for these nocturnal
neighbors and take it home for themselves or leave it
behind for The Trustees to use on one of their South
Coast properties. Building the nest boxes is free but
taking one home costs $5 for Trustees members and
$15 for nonmembers.
All box materials and hardware are provided but
it’s helpful for volunteers to bring an extra hammer.

Forecasting at the tip of the spear
Local meteorologist at
the vanguard of
a new industry paradigm
BY CHRIST Y NADALIN
F
[email protected]
red Campagna wasn’t looking to be a trendsetter,
though he did want to be
ahead of the curve. After 14
years in broadcast television
as a meteorologist for the
local ABC affiliate, he recognized that the television industry wasn’t
moving quickly enough to keep up with society’s changing media consumption habits.
Today, immediacy is key, especially where
forecasting is concerned. He knew that it was
time to strike out on his own, with a different
kind of business model.
His clairvoyance aside, the truth is that
Campagna was motivated by something
much more basic, and far more important,
than industry trends: his family. “It was a
quality of life decision,” he says. “I was
working late every night, and my kids were
growing up so fast. Time was flying.”
Campagna decided to not let any more
time pass without making a change, and in
August 2012 he launched Right Weather, an
internet-based weather forecasting service:
“The Right forecast, Right when you need
it.”
Accessed through his website at right
weather.com, or Rightwx, a free app for iOS
or Android, it has proven to be as nimble
and flexible as the broadcast model is cumbersome and overly rigid for today’s mediahungry consumer.
As one of the first meteorologists in the
Providence-New Bedford market to
embrace social media, none of this surprises Campagna, whose Twitter and Facebook
followers far outnumbered his former network’s market share long ago.
It’s a national trend, highlighted just last
week in an article “The Search For The Internet’s Next Top Weather Nerd,” by Charlie
Warzel on Buzzfeed. Warzel notes that internet-based weather has an interactive component to it that becomes indispensable
when severe weather comes to call. In a natural disaster, the ability to access forecasting
on demand could have a tremendous
impact on public safety.
Campagna’s business includes a number
of private clients; primarily municipalities
U
RICHARD W. DIONNE JR.
Fred Campagna, President of Right Weather, is at the forefront of meteorology’s transition to the internet.
and large snow removal contractors with
large crews, for whom an accurate and timely forecast has a very real impact on the balance sheet. “It’s a service that helps them run
their business a lot more efficiently,” he says.
“They tell me I’m a big reliever of stress.”
One criticism of the movement toward
internet-based forecasting is the fact that,
conceivably, anyone with access to the computer models that are the tools of the meteorologist’s trade, which is to say, everyone, can
analyze them, come up with their own conclusions, and throw a forecast out there. We
saw a perfect example of that in action last
weekend, when Sunday blizzard rumors
were on everyone’s lips, but unsupported by
legitimate forecast sources. “That was a
social media creation,” Campagna says. “It
was actually a teenager in Philadelphia who
saw the models and tweeted out what could
happen. He was ‘wishcasting.’ Thing is, he
has something like 15,000 Twitter followers,
so it went viral.”
Campagna was not among the meteorologists who were annoyed by the false report —
some going so far as to claim it was the
equivalent of shouting “fire!” in a crowded
theater. He knows it doesn’t reflect on his
own credibility, something for which he has
long been recognized. In his last year in
broadcast television, before founding Right
Weather, Campagna was certified most
accurate in the Providence-New Bedford
television market by Weatherate, an independent forecast verification service.
Accuracy is where the hard science of all
the U.S. government’s computer models —
as well as the ones from Canada, Europe,
and Japan and elsewhere that factor into any
forecast — gives way to witchcraft. Not literally, perhaps, but Campagna doesn’t have a
much better explanation for how he manages to look at the same raw data that everyone else sees and create a forecast that is typ-
ically less imperfect than those by many in
his industry. “I’ve done it so long, it’s kind of
hard to say how I come up with it,” he says.
“Calling it expert intuition makes it sound
like I’m a little full of myself, but I don’t know
what else to call it.”
However Campagna comes up with it, it’s
working. He’s looking to expand his client
base, and hoping to take on more institutional clients, like the many colleges and universities in the region. And he’s branching
out into new areas and applications, most
notably forensic meteorology, where he is
routinely called upon to testify about the
weather in court cases. Currently he is under
contract with a production company that’s
pitching a show about the discipline. Hopefully you won’t need Campagna to testify for
you (or worse, against you) in a court of law.

Rhode Island doesn’t produce a
lot of winter Olympians. We are
hours from mountains of any substance, and this winter excepted,
we don’t get much snow. A quick
scan of Olympians on the Rhode
Island Heritage Hall of Fame website reveals a handful of hockey
players, including Sara DaCosta,
the goalie for the women’s ice
hockey team that took home gold
in Nagano in 1998.
In fact, before DaCosta, the only
other Rhode Islander to win gold
in a winter games did it in 1928 at
St. Moritz, in the (now-defunct) 5man “bobsleigh” event.

where he excelled in several
sports. Bobsleigh was not one of
them. In fact, he rode one for the
first time just 19 days before his
medal-winning run.
Mason’s journey to Olympic glory was detailed in an interview
with Sports Illustrated writer Phil
Johnson, published in February of
1984.
Mason tells Johnson how, while
living in Germany in 1927 with his
wife and two children, he read a
newspaper article about the U.S.
entry into the new Olympic event.
According to Johnson’s article,
Mason said “I’d never thought
about being on an Olympic team,
but when I saw this I figured I had
nothing to lose, so why not try.”
He wrote to the organizers, who
invited him to San Moritz. Unbeknownst to Mason, the team he
was about to join was one of the
favorites for gold. For the next two
weeks Mason would train with his
team, riding the bobsleigh which
would be christened USA II.
Unlike the high-tech sleds modern bobsledders tuck into, the
bobsleigh of 1928 looked much
like an extra-long child’s sled. The
race would begin with the driver

themselves on top, “shingle-style.”
The brakeman, and in the case of
Mason’s team the #4 man as well,
would “bob” on command,
adding thrust for the duration of
the ride.
At St. Moritz, bad weather
would ultimately shorten the
event to two races instead of four,
with Mason’s team edging out the
other American team and a German team for top honors.
His gold medal in his pocket, it
having been unceremoniously
handed to him by a bobsledding
official, Mason returned to his family in Germany. Not long after they
would return to the United States,
settling initially in Pittsburgh
before moving on to Rumford.

career as a manager for the Newman Crosby Steel Company in

THEATER REVIEW
Trinity’s ‘Intimate Apparel’ a discreetly revealing character-driven drama
T
he place and the time is
the New York City of 1905
and as we observe this
scene in the downstairs theatre at

views of the
domiciles the
denizens of the
era reside in,
ranging from
rooming to town

array of colors
that meet our
william
eye contrast,
OAKES
both vibrant and
muted, rather like the characters
we shall meet here and very
much like the quilt Esther has
spent her life making and has
sewn her life savings into.
This is the world of the play
“Intimate Apparel” and it is, as
the title suggests, a delicately
woven piece (though thankfully
not at all flimsy) but one designed
to get gently under your skin
rather than be worn over it.
Pulitzer Prize winning playwright
Lynn Nottage employs lush language that is full of poetic
imagery to spin her yarn that
pays full attention to all the little
details of a life filled with longing.
Though all the characters that
we meet desperately desire something else out of their lives and
these deep needs of theirs often
serve cross and double-crossed
purposes of the others onstage,
“what you got she wants and
what she got you want,” as one
character puts it, this is primarily
the story of Esther and her lifetime of dogged and deferred
determination.
Esther is a seamstress and, at
35, fears to be forever a spinster.
She has eked out living making
corsets and petticoats — a trade
that weaves her connections
ranging from high society client
Mrs. Van Buren, prostitute confidante Mayme, and Jewish fabric
purveyor Mr. Marks. But what
Mauro Hantmann is a sheer
delight as fabric salesman Mr.
Marks, he is simply seems such a
decent and charming man that in
watching the scenes between him
and Esther your heart cannot
help but root for them and wish
for a better time and place for a
Jewish immigrant and a black
seamstress to have a long, happy
life together.
Barbara Meek is, as always, a
formidable yet benign presence
as rooming house landlady Mrs.
Dickson.
As socialite Ms. Van Buren
Angela Brazil conveys a sense of
weighed down flightiness; one
who would be frivolous if it were
not for her stymied desires.
Shelley Fort provides an essential earthiness and absolute honesty as prostitute Mayme.
To he able to start with such a
strong story is a gift for Director
Janice Duclos and she guides this
carefully-crafted show with a sure
hand, gently but firmly driving
these characters and their concerns onward. That great care has
been taken with this play that
contains such a subtle force
extends to the scenic design of
Patrick Lynch, where the finished
woodwork molding on the interior of these rooms, a cluttered
assembly of habitation not unlike
a quilt, resembles the lace work
embroidery of the petticoats and
corsets that Esther fashions.
Somewhat later in the same
century and city depicted here
the poet Langston Hughes will
write of deferred dreams, a quality here that playwright Lynn Nottage gives considerable substance
to. All onstage in “Intimate
Apparel” are lonesome souls,
their dreams are deep but rarely
dark, most long only for a gentle
touch. As we in the audience bear
witness to these vivid and quiet
lives, their dreams, much like
Esther herself, endure.
“Intimate Apparel” at Trinity
Rep, now through March 2. See
listings for details.
MARK TUREK
Resident acting company members Angela Brazil as Mrs. Van Buren and Mia Ellis as Esther in “Intimate
Apparel,” by Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage.
looms large on her horizon is her
correspondence with George, a
Barbadian laborer working on the
Panama Canal who dreams of
coming to New York and, like her,
of marriage. How these dreams
reach fruition and what fulfillment may come forms the basis
of the tale.
“Intimate Apparel,” rather like
its protagonist Esther, employs
exceeding patience to achieve its
ends; time and care is taken to
allow the cumulative elements of
this narrative to build slowly and
inexorably. The weight of a life
spent waiting is given full due,
this requires some patience from
the audience as the events
depicted here are not rushed into
but the end result is well worth it.
The story slowly draws you in
though the characters, and events
depicted are poetically interesting
before they become, as they
eventually do, dramatically interesting. This is what a great play
and production can achieve for
us, the ability to slowly but surely
wade into the circumstances, not
only of a time and place, but of
an entire life.
To this considerable end Janice
Duclos directs these proceedings
with great care. Attention is given
to the nuance of the moment as
well as the great arc of events and
the director is adept, as she
steadily ravels the threads of this
tale, at keeping our attention taut.
There is an inherent tension
under the surface of the restive
stillness of these lives that the
director evokes well and builds
up to an inevitable conclusion.
We are, as the author intended,
always aware of the interior lives
of these disparate characters
assembled onstage.
The complexities of these lives
have been given full measure by
the Trinity Rep Acting Company.
Mia Ellis is a marvel as Esther;
there is a sort of quiet courage
that imbues every aspect of her
persona onstage. Her wants and
needs seem to bubble up from a
deep, still wellspring inside her,
tempered always by a sense of
dignified determination. The
actress is not ‘plain’, as the text
suggests, but her eyes and selfregard seemingly belie this truth;
her watchful and wary countenance onstage suggest a permanently fractured spirit beneath
her façade. Hers is a very measured and moving performance.
Subtleties of the self also
inform Joe Wilson Jr.’s performance as George, her long-distance lover. There is a unfulfilled
ferocity to his ends onstage, an
inherent frustration of his deep
desires that run the emotional
gamut from being justly aggrieved to petty petulance. Within his
mild manner there seems to be a
coiled spring of dangerousness
that the slightest feather touch
might trigger.

C&C builds new Redline 41
C&C Yachts announced last
week that the first production hull
of the Mark Mills-designed Redline 41 is under construction. The
boat is being built at US Watercraft
in Warren for an experienced
British ocean racer who plans to
compete in the 2014 Newport
Bermuda Race.
The C&C 41 is the newest member of Mills’ family of race-winning 40 footers and is expected to
be a strong offshore competitor.
It won’t be stripped out however. The builders (the same people
who build Alerion yachts, say it
will offer “a touch of elegance with
it’s teak interior.”
Swim race back on course
Save The Bay has received
notice that the start of the 38th
Annual Swim for Narragansett Bay
will be welcomed back to Naval
Station Newport.
Last July, Save The Bay was
forced to alter the course for the
swim due to sequestration cuts to
the military. Historically, the
course started in Newport and
ended at Potter Cove in
Jamestown. Last year’s course was
reconfigured in a triangle to start
and finish at Potter Cove.
“We are thrilled,” said Executive
Director Jonathan Stone. “I don’t
need to tell you how dramatic,
exciting, challenging, and historic
this route is: across the East Passage, below the towering span of
the Pell Bridge, over 130 feet of
deep ocean water.”
On Saturday, July 19, 2014, Save
The Bay will once again welcome

MUSIC REVIEW
S
80’s icon Bobbie Brown dishes with ‘Dirty Rocker Boys’
he was the classic heavy
metal video vixen, an
iconic figure in the MTV
heyday of hair bands. When we
think back to those over-the-top
days, one name comes to mind:
Bobbie Brown.
Best known as “that hot girl”
in the Warrant
“Cherry Pie”
video, Brown
married Jani
Lane, the singer
from Warrant,
and lived a life
of total 80’s
excess. Today,
Bryan
she is the author
MARTIN
of “Dirty Rocker
Boys” (Simon And Schuster) and
a reality television personality,
starring in “Ex Wives of Rock” on
the Fuse network.
“Dirty Rocker Boys” is a classic
tale of what not to do, and a road
map of who’s who in rock and
roll to date — and to stay away
from. From Tommy Lee to
Leonardo Decaprio; Kevin Costner to Jani Lane, Bobbie has been
Gunner, seem almost comical
and unreal. Other parts, like the
day she learned Jani Lane was
dead, haunt you with their honesty. The pages are filled with
raw emotion.
I recently had the opportunity
to talk with Bobbie Brown, and I
found her to be friendly, funny,
and a genuine, honest individual. True to herself, she pulled no
punches.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO WRITE THIS
BOOK? I’ve been working on the
idea for about 4 years. When I
finally got out of my old contract
and signed with Simon and
Schuster, it took about a year. It
was a lot harder than I thought it
was going to be.
there and done that. The drugs,
the meth, the addiction, the abusive lifestyle, it’s all here.
Her book is a testament to her
street smarts and her perseverance. I found it hard to put
down. Some parts, like the black
magic spell against Matthew
HOW INVOLVED WERE YOU WITH THE
EDITING? WERE THERE THINGS YOU
WANTED IN, THAT THEY DIDN’T AND VICE
VERSA? Actually I wanted to be a
big part of the process. I didn’t
want it to come across like an
interview. I wanted my story to be
true and honest. I got nervous
towards the end because it may
have been too honest. But they,
(Simon and Schuster editors) were
like, “No leave it in.” I thought it
might cause controversy but they
said that made it honest. So I am a
little bit nervous.
WERE YOU A FAN OF THE GLAM METAL
SCENE AND MUSIC BACK THEN? Some of
it. I never was a big Poison fan or
anything like that. I thought Jani
was an amazing songwriter and of
course I loved his music. I didn’t
even know they (Warrant) wrote
the song “Heaven” until I did the
video. I was like, “Oh you guys did
this song?” And they were just like
“wow...”
CAN YOU DESCRIBE A TYPICAL NIGHT
ON SUNSET STRIP BACK THEN? Special.
Totally different now with all this
reality television. Everyone is
famous now for whatever. Back
then you were famous because of
talent. It was a big deal. It was
cool. That was my heyday. The
book starts with one crazy night
back then and then it Tarrantinos
its way back to my childhood and
then works its way up from there.
YOU LIST A LOT OF PEOPLE YOU KNEW
AND SOME YOU DATED. I HAVE TO
ASK...KEVIN COSTNER? WAS HE MORE
“DANCES WITH WOLVES” OR “WATERWORLD”? More like Waterworld.
(Laughs) Yeah. I pretty much left a
lasting impression on him that
probably scarred him for life.
Needless to say I pretty much
ruined every type of interaction I
had back then with my chaos.
CRAZY STORIES? I have a great
Dave Navarro story in the book,
Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray.
Leonardo DiCaprio. Kevin Costner, Rod Stewart.
ROD STEWART? Yes. Some hook
ups, others are just crazy stories.
Tommy Lee, Milli Vanilli...
MILLI VANILLI? I dated Robert
(Pilatus). So yeah that story is in
there. It’s preconceived notion
about me. I didn’t grow up a heavy
metal chick. I was a dancer who
liked hip hop and dance music.
BOOK REVIEW
Enigmatic Lincoln’s enduring appeal
Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker
BY DONNA DELEO BRUNO
braham Lincoln was
born 205 years ago this
week, and remains one
of the most popular figures in
American history — and literature. In honor of Honest Abe’s
birthday, check out one of these
great reads.
A
‘Killing Lincoln’
BY BILL O’RE ILLY AND
MARTIN DUGARD
“With
malice
toward
none and charity for all.”
When Abraham Lincoln spoke
these words in his second inaugural address, John Wilkes Booth
was in the audience. A Confederate sympathizer, Booth was
enraged by Lincoln’s attempt to
heal a war-torn nation. Booth
believed that black slavery was
part of the hierarchy of nature,
and that the attempt to abolish it
caused the Civil War. When Booth
learned of the imminent fall of
the South with the burning of
Richmond, he decided to take
action. So begins a suspenseful
and dramatic account of the last
days of the war and the final
hours leading up to Lincoln’s
assassination.
O’Reilly’s vivid description of
the battle scenes appeals to the
reader’s senses. One can hear the
bark of the order to attack, taste
the dry-mouthed fear on the
tongues of the soldiers, see the
sun glint on the cavalry’s sabers,
feel the plunging blade of sword
into flesh, and wince at the agonizing cries and curses of the
wounded. Those who lose their
weapons resort to bestial and
desperate extremes, biting each
other’s mouths and ears and
noses. In the thick of action, one
Union General Washburn resembles “a frenzied dervish, riding tall
in his saddle, his saber slashing
and slaying everything in its
path.” In another battle scene,
Gen. George Custer “races his
cavalry toward the enemy, showing no mercy, cutting to pieces
rebel troops on foot. On the
ground bodies are sprawled —
absent heads, arms and legs —
lying in gruesome contortions.
The second half of the book is
devoted to Lincoln’s final days
and hours in a minute by minute
account which builds to the
denouement. Included are many
ominous details and coincidences:
■ A few weeks before his death,
Lincoln has a foreboding dream
about his assassination.
■ On the day of his death, the
President tells a friend, “I believe
there are men who want to take
my life. And I have no doubt
they will do it.”
■ On the night of his assassination, Lincoln’s loyal and trustworthy bodyguard is replaced by one
who has a reputation for irresponsibility and unreliability. This substitute leaves the Presidential box
at Ford’s Theater to have a drink in
a nearby tavern, allowing Booth
easy access to Lincoln, who
remains unprotected.
■ Guards who should be on
duty disappear from their posts.
■ Bridges that should be closed
remain open, allowing the assassins easy escape. (Booth was not
the only assassin; three others
were to attack Vice President
Andrew Johnson and Secretary of
State William Seward, all at the
exact time of l0:l5 p.m., April l4,
l865.
■ Telegrams to army personnel
to commence a search for the
assassins are not sent.
This book is gripping, and leaves
a lot for the reader to ponder. If
history books were written as
“Killing Lincoln” is, few students
would skip their assigned reading.
This is the way to teach history.
BY JENNIFER CHIAVERINI
Born into slavery, which was
her life for 37 years, Elizabeth
Keckley purchased her freedom
and that of her son Robert and
moved to Washington, D.C., where
she opened a dress shop. Through
sheer tenacity, hard work, and an
enterprising and entrepreneurial
spirit, she honed her dressmaking
skills to become the sole modiste
and mantua maker of first, Mrs.
Jefferson Davis; next, Mrs. Robert
E. Lee; and eventually, Mary Todd
Lincoln.
For many years, Elizabeth was
not only Mary Todd’s personal
assistant, but also a close friend
and confidante. As such, she was a
close observer of not only the Lincoln family members, but also of
history as it was unfolding
throughout the Civil War years.
She became a great admirer of the
President, who earned her respect
by his devotion to his family and
deep love for his children; his
humility and good nature; his
integrity and strength of character;
his determination to hold the
nation together; and his sincere
sense of fairness and justice.
Elizabeth saw Lincoln weary
from the stress of his office, heartbroken at the loss of young lives,
burdened by the casualties and
injuries suffered by those he had
ordered into battle, and concerned and solicitous of his wife’s
fragile mental state. In all of this,
she found it remarkable that Lincoln was able to maintain a sense
of humor. Having contracted a
mild form of smallpox and quarantined in the White House for
three weeks, he joked weakly
from his sickbed, “Now let the
office seekers come, for at last I
have something to give them.”
Her primary responsibility was to
Mary Todd, not only in preparing
her for state occasions, but more
in tending to her changeable
moods, calming her in her frequent anxiety attacks, bolstering
her confidence, and advising her
about her extravagant habits. It
was only in the company of Elizabeth that Mary Todd found
solace, comfort, and unconditional acceptance; devoid of criticism and judgment.
Theirs was an unusual friendship, and after her husband’s
assassination, Mary Todd’s dependence upon and need for Elizabeth was constant and unrelenting. After Mary Todd had left the
White House, she would summon
Elizabeth to come tend to her in
states far away, including New
York and Illinois, totally oblivious
to the personal and financial sacrifice she asked of Elizabeth, who
never hesitated or refused.
Despite this closest of bonds,
their relationship was severed by
what Mary Todd interpreted as a
breach of confidence, although
Elizabeth never intended it to be
so. This was truly tragic for both,
since Mary Todd ended up confined to an institution and Elizabeth in a home for “Destitute Colored Women.” Throughout the
years Mary Todd refused to accept
Elizabeth’s many attempts to apologize and reconcile.
This very good historical novel
both gives the reader further
insight into the lives of President
and Mary Todd Lincoln, it captures their feelings, as well as those
of Elizabeth Keckley’s, during
those critical years in American
history.

Looking Up: Venus a morning star; Jupiter bright all month
The Moon
The planets
The Full Moon of February is
known as the “Snow Moon” or
the “Hunger Moon.” It rises
around sunset on the 14th (6:53
p.m.) and sets around sunrise.
This will be the only night in February when the Moon is in the
sky all night, and does not
appear during the day.
The moon will pass close by
the bright star Spica before dawn
on Wednesday, Feb. 19. The planet Mars will also be close by.
The moon will be close to the
planet Saturn before dawn on
Friday, Feb. 21.
The slender crescent moon will
be just to the left of Venus at sunrise on Wednesday, Feb. 26.
Venus is now a “morning star,”
rising in the east just before the
sun. It reaches a point in its orbit,
combined with its phase and distance from Earth, which will
cause it to shine at its brightest
on the morning of February 15.
Mars continues to brighten in
Virgo in the morning sky.
Jupiter shines brightly in the
south most of the month. The
Great Red Spot is distinctly
orange, and easier to see than in
many recent years.
The red supergiant star Betelgeuse, which is 650 times bigger
than the Sun, is clearly visible on
the shoulder of the “Great Hunter”
in the Orion constellation.
Saturn is in the eastern sky just
before sunrise, in the constellation Libra.
Uranus is low in the western
sky after sunset, and sets in midevening. It is in Pisces all month.
Skywatching tips
■ Give your eyes at least 15
minutes to adjust to the darkness.
■ Avoid light pollution as
much as possible.
■ Dress warmer than you think
you need to.
■ Use a sky map so you know
where to look.
■ Remember, it’s unsafe to
look at the sun without protective eyewear.

TRASH OR TREASURE?
A frog in the attic
Q. I was cleaning out my
aunt’s attic and came across
this. Can you tell me what it is?
A. You have found a “flower
frog,” popular in the 1920’s and
1930’s and used to arrange flowers. They are still produced
today, and can be found in
many styles and made out of all
different types
of materials,
including glass,
pottery, lead or
bronze. Some
have holes in
them, some are
cage-like, and
Karen
some have
WATERMAN metal spikes or
“hairpin” loops
which hold the stems in place.
They were also produced in
many shapes, and while this one
is a simple round shape, some
are very elaborate and may have
a figure attached to it. The
largest manufacturer of glass
frogs in the United States was
the Cambridge Glass Company
from Cambridge, Ohio. If yours
does not have a stamp or marking, there is a chance it predates
1875.

Despite the thickening permafrost blanketing the region, the
Rhode Island Spring Flower and
Garden Show will bloom as scheduled from Thursday to Sunday,
Feb. 20 to 23.
The Rhode Island Federation of
Garden Clubs is presenting its 21st
annual Standard Flower Show as
part of “Vintage Gardens,” at the
Rhode Island Convention Center
in Providence. This year, the
flower show, themed “It’s All about
Time,” is chaired by Barrington
resident Sue Redden. RIFGC President Sandi Tinyk is the horticulture chairwoman, and several
other East Bay residents representing the Barrington, Hameho,
Sogkonate, Bristol, Bayberry and
Tiverton garden clubs serve as
committee members.
This year’s show promises to be
exceptional. Antique automobiles, including a 1930 Model A,
will be featured in the gardens.
The flower show includes 12 classes of designs, three classes of artistic crafts and several sections of
horticulture.
The Horticulture Division is
open to any gardener. Exhibits for
this division may be brought to
the convention center between 10
a.m. and 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb.
18. There are classes for evergreens, foliage, flowering, dwarf
container-grown plants, forced
and flowering branches, cacti,
succulents, and bulbs.

A muffin full of great grains, maple and banana
BY LYNDS REGO
[email protected]
I love these muffins. They have a
variety of grains, which give them
a lot of flavor, along with the
banana, maple syrup and pecans.
They are a hefty muffin, but not
heavy.
I got the recipe from one of my
favorite food blogs, Je Mange la
Ville. She adapted it from a Dorie
Greenspan recipe. I changed it
some more.
Banana Pecan Muffins
Makes 12
■ 1 cup all-purpose flour
■ 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
■ 1/3 cup cornmeal
■ 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
■ 2 teaspoon baking powder
■ 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
■ 1/4 teaspoon salt
■ 1/4 cup brown sugar
■ 1 cup buttermilk
■ 1/4 cup applesauce*
■ 1/4 cup melted butter
■ 1/3 cup maple syrup
■ 2 large eggs
■ 1/2 cup chopped pecans
■ 1 ripe banana, mashed (or sliced
if it’s really ripe)
Preheat the oven to 400°F and
spray a muffin tin with non-stick
Banana Pecan Muffins
spray.
Combine the flours, cornmeal,
oats, baking powder, baking
soda, brown sugar and salt in a
large bowl. Whisk to incorporate
the sugar. Stir in the pecans.
In another bowl combine the
buttermilk, syrup, eggs, applesauce and melted butter. Whisk
to combine. Stir in the banana.
Mix the wet mixture into the
dry mixture being careful to stir
the batter only enough to combine the ingredients.
Divide the batter evenly
among the muffin cups. Let sit
for a minute or two. Bake for 18
to 20 minutes or until the tops
are golden and a thin knife
inserted into a muffin comes out
clean. (These don’t rise a lot).
Turn out onto a wire rack and let
cool for a few minutes.
* If you don’t have applesauce,
you can increase the melted butter to 1/2 cup.

MEET Kerrie Payne: REALTOR WITH A KNACK FOR HOME STAGING
K
BY JOAN D. WARREN
erri Payne decided
to enter the real
estate industry after
15 years as an
active consumer of
various types of real estate,
including time shares, rentals,
rehabs, vacant land and singlefamily homes. She also enjoys
home design and decor and
wanted to combine her love of
real estate with her creative talents, resulting in a real estate
career with a specialty in home
staging.
With these skills, she can offer
her clients both real estate
expertise and the value-added
service of staging their homes
for optimal appeal to potential
buyers.
Kerri previously worked for
many years in the health care
industry as a physical therapist,
rehabilitation director and information systems director for a
national healthcare company.
Kerri is committed to making
her community a better place
and is a former president of the
Nayatt Elementary PTO and
current president of the
Hampden Meadows PTO, both
in Barrington. She also serves
on the board of Arts Alive!, a
nonprofit theater organization.
Kerri is also an active member
of the Barrington Yacht Club
and the Kendbrin Swim &
Tennis Club. She holds a physical therapy license in the state of
Rhode Island and participates in
recreational swim and triathlon
events.
Kerri and her husband, Steve,
have been married for 16 years
and have 10-year-old twin
daughters. She has lived in the
East Bay for 14 years. Her
motto is: Life is how you decorate it!
WHY REAL ESTATE AS A
CAREER? "Real estate and
home staging were both hobbies
that I loved, so it just made
sense to combine those interests
into a great career. I also wanted
a job that was flexible enough
that I could continue to be home
for my family and remain
involved in my community."
IS IT A SECOND CAREER
FOR YOU? "Yes. My first career
was as a physical therapist. That
led me into health care management and ultimately information
technology as it relates to the
Kerri Payne
Residential Properties
401-837-0325
health care industry. Before
having my children, I was a
regional IT director for a national health care company."
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST
ABOUT IT? "For me, there is
nothing better than staging a
home using mostly what the
owner already has on hand, then
watching the look on their face
when they see the transformation. It is fun and rewarding, not
to mention profitable."
ANY DISLIKES? "The same
flexibility that makes real estate
a good fit for my lifestyle as a
mom can also sometimes be a
challenge. It can be difficult to
turn off the technology. It is now

a 24/7 industry, and agents can
work from just about anywhere,
any time if they want to.
Luckily, my children are there to
remind me when I don't follow
my own rules about screen time
limitations!"
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR
HOBBIES? "I'm a bargain
hunter. I love shopping for consignment and secondhand finds,
many of which I use in my staging. I also swim, bike, run, and
as a family, we enjoy skiing and
boating. I have a background in
dance and am also involved in
children's theater."
BEST VACATION EVER? "It
was the last trip I took with my
husband before the kids were
born. We went for two weeks
and hit Sydney, Melbourne and
surfers paradise. We snorkeled
the Great Barrier Reef and held
a koala named Barney!"
BUCKET LIST ITEMS?
"Would love to make it to as
many of the natural wonders as
possible."
WHAT'S YOUR BEST CULINARY CREATION? "I don't cook
well at all, but no one complains
about my chocolate crock pot
cake."
BEST FAMILY DAY? "On the
boat to Potters Cove with the
cooler, the kids and the dog. No
one can escape!"
LUNCH WITH ANYONE?
"Jesus."
WHAT'S IN YOUR HANDBAG? "What isn't in my handbag would be easier to answer.
I have officially turned into my
mother!"
STAGING ADVICE FOR SELLERS? "Remember that when a
home goes on the market it
becomes a product. Like any
other product for sale, it should
be marketed in packaging that
allows it to look its best."

House of the Week
E
Home is for sale for first time in 85 years
scape to a little slice of
heaven in Island Park in
Portsmouth. This unique
property at 37 Marine Ave.
is a tranquil and out-of-theway location with loads of potential.
The property has remained in the
same family since 1930, and this is the
first time it has been offered for sale.
The two-story gingerbread cottage was
constructed in 1930 and survived the
1938 hurricane, despite its prime waterfront spot.
The property is located at the end of a
peninsula on Blue Bill Cove.
Since anyone familiar with Island
Park knows septic systems are a high
concern, the seller recently obtained an
approved three-bedroom septic system
design and elevation certificate while
the property was surveyed.
The property contains approximately
12,163 square feet, with a generous
frontage on Blue Bill Cove of 265 feet.
The 1,075-square-foot home retains
much of its original architectural details,
including two bedrooms, a half-bath and
a shower in the basement. The potential
to own a quiet seaside escape is an
opportunity that shouldn't be missed.

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
