"All I can say is that Dr. Colley is on a leave of absence. As for the district, we have a great staff that continues to work hard moving this district forward," he said. Some on the audience of about two dozen called on the committee for an explanation of what led to Mr. Colley's departure but were repeatedly told that this is a personnel matter. "We deserve respect and we deserve to be told the truth," said parent Christine Silvia. "We are privy to information" that those outside the committee do not have, Ms. Pacheco said. Speculation is that there has been disagreement over the course of the PCB- Growing tension with the school committee majority over issues from administrative staffing to middle school PCBs prefaced Superintendent of Schools Carlos Colley's sudden departure last week. "It was mostly their idea," Mr. Colley said Friday from his South Dartmouth home. Difficult as things had become of late, he had not intended to depart before his contract ended but "that is the way it turned out." Increasingly, "the school committee majority wanted to go in a different direction … It is hard to keep trying to lead when it seems like every time you suggest something they want to do it differently." He looks back on his Westport tenure with "very mixed feelings," Mr. Colley said. Balanced against the frustration of seeing initiatives rejected or second-guessed is the satisfaction gained from "really important achievements by the Westport schools … and wanting to see things through." As for the committee's decision to "acknowledge" Assistant Superintendent Ann Dargon as his successor, Mr. Colley said, "I wish her well. I hope she is a superwoman" who can juggle the dual responsibilities that "in most districts are handled by two people, even three." Administrative staffing was the source of some of the "different direction" debate between him and the school committee majority, Mr. Colley said. Pitted against his belief that See SUPERINTENDENT Page 2 See COLLEY Page 3 RICHARD W. DIONNE JR. Former Superintendent of Schools Carlos Colley, seen here outside the middle school earlier this year, has taken a leave of absence and is not expected to return. Sudden leave reveals deep school split The mysterious and sudden departure of the superintendent of schools and the sort-of promotion of his second in command has left Westport school leadership in apparent disarray. Superintendent of Schools Carlos Colley went out on paid leave of absence last week and he won't return when that leave ends on June 30. His departure came on the heels of a closed school committee meeting whose details committee members will not disclose except to say that they involve 'personnel' issues. Mr. Colley was appointed superintendent in 2009 and his contract runs through June 30, 2015. Then last Wednesday, the school committee voted to "acknowledge" the naming of Assistant Superintendent Ann Dargon as the interim superintendent. Voting in favor of the move were Chairman Antonio Viveiros and members Michael Sullivan and Melissa Pacheco. Michelle Duarte and Carolina Africano voted no. Pressed by audience members to explain the difference between 'acknowledge' and 'appoint,' committee Chairman Antonio Viveiros said the district handbook stipulates that the assistant will fill the job of superintendent in the absence of the superintendent. Added committee member Michael Sullivan, "I would refer you to the policy handbook." Contacted before last Wednesday's vote, Mr. Viveiros declined to discuss the reasons for Mr. Colley's departure or other aspects of Buzzard bikes More than 100 cyclists turned out to pedal in support of a clean environment PAGE 15 Page 2 Westport Shorelines October 24, 2013 SUPERINTENDENT: Divided school board ‘acknowledges’ Dargon From Page 1 plagued middle school which has already received over $3 million worth of cleanup plus mounting bills for air quality monitoring. Some say the department should cut its losses and abandon the school. Recent turnover in key leadership positions within the district has also been cited. Some at the meeting also voiced displeasure with a situa- tion in which Ms. Dargon now serves as both superintendent and assistant superintendent. "This is an exceedingly fiscally irresponsible move," Ms. Aricano said, agreeing with several parents. "This is a disaster" and parents have a right to be upset. Added Ms. Duarte, the workload is too much, "even if you are Superwoman." Craig Dutra, husband of Ms. Africano and member of the Board of Selectmen questioned whether discussions among some committee members had been held privately in possible violation of the state open meetings law. Mr. Viveiros denied that any such talks had taken place. Asked before the meeting about the reasons for Mr. Colley's taking leave, Mr. Sullivan cited confidentiality rules governing personnel issues discussed in closed meetings. Questioned about the job done by Mr. Colley, he said, "Dr. Colley's tenure as head of the Westport Community Schools was fraught with unanticipated challenges i.e. the PCB contamination, economic disaster and more." He said he felt Mr. Colley had done a good job dealing with the PCB issue at the middle school. About staff turnover, he said "During the past two months there has been greater than anticipated turnover. The School Committee will need to address this trend immediately and examine policy and budget matters related to personnel matters." He noted that Mr. Colley presented his self-evaluation to the committee on Oct. 9 and indicated that the superintendent felt had met five of the six established goals. "I made a motion 'to accept the superintendent's self-evaluation as presented' however the motion did not prevail." Contacted before last Wednesday's meeting, Ms Duarte declined to talk specifics about his departure but said she believes that Mr. Colley had accomplished good things for Westport schools. "In his time here, the superintendent was able to bring many positive changes to the district. To name just a few, at the Macomber School we have a newly accredited program that received amazing scores during the accreditation process. "We have added much needed technology into the district, preparing us for PARCC assessments, online learning opportunities at all schools, additional AP offerings at the high school, and some teachers at the WMS are newly trained in Pre AP. "We have reduced our SPED out-of-district placement from 21-14, creating new programs to keep our students in the community, which in turn saved the district thousands of dollars. “It (leave of absence) was mostly their idea..” CARLOS COLLEY "Most recently, our high school is acknowledged by the state to be a level 1 high school and the NEASC accreditation team who was here spoke very highly of our High School program in their report. "Moving forward, the Middle School will continue to be a hot topic, areas of concern within the schools will need to continue to be identified and addressed, and fiscally, next year will be a challenge for the town," Ms. Duarte said. Asked about issues facing Mr. Colley's successor, Mr. Sullivan said, "The Westport Community Schools will continue to move forward at an accelerated pace. New reading programs at the elementary schools, math programs at the middle school and upgraded technology capabilities and professional development relating to classroom effectiveness will continue to provide our teaching staff with more effective tools for the classroom. "I am very confident due to Dr. Dargon having been the principal administrator for these areas … The continued success at Westport Community Schools will be contingent on fully funding our school budget and the effective use of our resources … The Westport Community Schools have excellent administrative talent throughout all of our schools. … the School Department needs a full time business administrator, and I will urge fellow members of the school committee to understands the wisdom of filling this position immediately."

It arose over the director of technology post, facilities and maintenance, nutrition and other areas. "Why don't we just farm out nutrition and custodial and cleaning services?" he said some asked repeatedly. "That sometimes works in big, big districts with huge overhead and lots of facilities where you gain economies of scale but in little districts like ours" there is much to be said for having people "who are close to the situation and can look after all the little things that matter." He offered the example of Michelle Rapoza, food services director who he said spent the summer working to get 6 cents more reimbursement per school meal. "That may not sound like much but it really adds up. That's why you have administrators, to look after important things like that that otherwise might not happen." And recently the schools lost their technology director to another district that was willing to pay more for his expertise and where he "won't have to hear questions" about whether the job is needed. People "don't need to hear that when they are busting their rear ends." The division may first have become apparent one summer while school leadership was grappling with the discovery of PCBs in the middle school. "Time was running out and a lot of ideas were still on the table … We didn't have a lot of time to explore other options (like sending students to other towns) but at a late July meeting people still had other ideas that they wanted to explore … The reality was that the kids were coming back in five or six weeks and we needed a plan in place." Mr. Colley said it seemed that no matter what was suggested, someone was unhappy. "Someone had to make a decision and say, 'Here's what we are going to do. That didn't sit well with some members of the school commit- “The school committee majority wanted to go in a different direction … It is hard to keep trying to lead when it seems like every time you suggest something they want to do it differently.” CARLOS COLLEY mentary school offerings. There are more Advanced Placement offerings at the high school — and teachers have received training to deal with AP demands. And bus transportation operations have been streamlined. "We now do our own routing programs … We tell the bus company how we want it done, not the other way around." He said much credit for these and other achievements also goes to the Westport Education Foundation and to the Parent Teacher Organizations. "The proof is in the pudding" and spelled out in reports from visiting evaluation teams. They say of Westport — "You are doing a very good job with very limited resources."

Despite the exasperations, there have been accomplishments of which he is proud, Mr. Colley said.

Michael Lennon has captured every moment of it.” So says author Gay Talese about Norman Mailer: A Double Life, written by Forsythia Lane, Westport, resident Lennon and published this month by Simon & Schuster. A writer and college professor, Mr. Lennon immersed himself in the life of Mailer, one of the twentieth century’s most important and controversial authors. Mailer became a national celebrity at the age of 25 with his bold bestselling World War II novel The Naked and the Dead, and went on to write ten more bestsellers, both fiction and non-fiction. Two of them (The Armies of the Night and The Executioner’s Song) won the Pulitzer Prize. Mr. Lennon first met Mailer in 1972 and came to know him well. He is past president of the Norman Mailer Society, and, as his authorized biographer, had complete access to Mailer’s 45,000 letters and papers, and interviewed him many times before Mailer’s death at age 84 in 2007. He also interviewed children, former wives, mistresses, friends and rivals. “He was quite candid in his correspondence,” Mr. Lennon said. “It took me several years to read them all, and I guess I am the only one, besides him, to have done so. I also did a score of long interviews with him in his last decade, and during his final 30 months I visited him nearly every day. My wife and I lived nearby in the same town, Provincetown.” Though an admitted admirer of Mailer and his works, Mr. Lennon set out to present an accurate portrait of the man, flaws and all. “While always his own best lawyer,” Mr. Lennon wrote, “Mailer never hinted at how he wished to Meet the author J. Michael Lennon will read from and sign copies of Norman Mailer: A Double Life at the Dartmouth Barnes & Noble, 392 State Road (Route 6) on Friday, Nov. 1 , at 7 p.m. be portrayed, nor did he ask my intentions. He answered all my questions candidly and with much good humor, enjoining me to ‘put everything in.’” That ‘everything’ covers considerable ground in the 900-page biography. “Mailer gained fame and sometimes infamy not only from his literary and political endeavors, but also from his often-unruly personal life, his fascination with sex and violence, and his vitriolic public feuds with other writers,” says Simon & Schuster. “ Mailer was married six times (to a fellow Jewish intellectual, a Latina artist, the daughter of a Scottish duke, an actress, a jazz singer, and an art teacher), was the father of nine children, and had countless affairs throughout his life. He knew many of the most celebrated writers of his generation and quarreled with several of them, most notably with Gore Vidal, in a legendary confrontation on Dick Cavett’s television talk show.” Mr.Lennon said that Dick Cavett attended the publication party “and we relived the show.” Asked about Mailer’s legacy on Norman Mailer — A Double Life, by Westport resident J. Michael Lennon American literature, Mr. Lennon listed three things: “1) He was the key innovator in the New Journalism movement, the wave of participatory journalism that took place from the late 1950s through the early 1970s. The Armies of the Night, his 1968 Pulitzer-Prize winning account of the anti-Vietnam War movement is one of the finest achievements of this movement; 2) Along with Gore Vidal and William Buckley, Mailer was the most important public intellectual in the American literary world for over 30 years. There is no one like him these days; 3) Mailer was the most important chronicler and commentator on major events and figures in American Life: Marilyn Monroe, Hemingway, JFK, Nixon, Bill Clinton, Muhammad Ali, many more. He also created some wonderful fictional characters, Elena in The Deer Park, and Rojack in An American Dream, for example.” As the ‘Double Life’ title suggests, his biography explores the sometimes conflicted sides of Mailer’s identity – “journalist and activist, devoted family man and relentless philanderer, intellectual and boxer, novelist and politician … Mailer once said, ‘There are two sides to me, and the side that is the observer is paramount,’ although readers of Lennon’s biography may find this assertion debatable,” the publisher says. Out of the limelight, Mr. Lennon said, “Like the rest of us, he had a variety of moods, but he was usually quite lively, full of beans. He relished a good debate on the issues of the day, loved jokes, anecdotes, banter. And he was curious … Sitting around his dinner table was never dull; everyone was required to get in the conversation, perform a bit. Always fun, lots of laughter. He generally had a twinkle in his eye.” Reviewers have praised Mr. Lennon’s work. Publishers Weekly wrote, “In this meticulous authorized biography, Lennon offers a comprehensive See FACING PAGE Westport Shorelines October 24, 2013 Page 5 Transatlantic Scout ‘loses her way’ out near Titanic Systems apparently shut down, little transatlantic boat Scout is meandering about the midAtlantic, adrift and traveling at the whim of wind and currents. The 13-foot Tiverton-built solarpowered electric motorboat that set out from Sakonnet Point nearly two months ago seems to have lost her way not far from the final resting place of the Titanic — well over 1,000 miles out into the Atlantic. In the nearly three weeks since then, the boat has wandered first east, then south and then seemed briefly to be trying to head back home. First clue that something was amiss came when Scout’s navigation system went offline and ceased sending 20-minute updates on speed, course and more. Before that, the boat had weathered big waves, rain squalls and the remnants of a tropical storm or two. “She is probably fully adrift,” said Dylan Rodriguez, a Tiverton resident and senior at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “It’s most likely a result of whatever took the main tracking system offline — we have a few theories but would have to receive a diagnostic transmission from Scout or take a look at her in person to know exactly what happened. Where they create a desolation, they call it peace. ~ Tacitus IRAQ: POST U.S. OCCUPATION Scout motors over big waves off Sakonnet Point last summer. “We activated the backup tracker on Scout (the pink dots on the tracking map) and this unit has a year of battery left — Scout is now basically a message in a bottle that’s 1,300 miles away from the New England coast she was launched from. She could end up anywhere (we are hoping a tropical crash landing in which case the entire team will be forced to fly to the Caribbean and wait for her there,” Mr. Rodriguez said Thursday. Before losing power, “Scout did pass within two miles of the bow section of the Titanic. We’re not sure what this means, but it is pretty incredible to think about.” Although he said it is sad that Scout may not reach Spain as planned and is drifting along far out of reach, the project has also brought great satisfaction to the team, Mr. Rodriguez said. “All the team members are great friends, now more than ever, and this project has been a great reason for us to work and learn together. In one case, it even changed the academic focus of a team member from civil engineering to marine architecture. Scout made it about 38 percent of the way across the Atlantic, and we’re all proud of that, regardless of what happens to Scout in the coming months. We all still follow Scout’s journey, and we still call each other to brainstorm and talk. The real question, however, is, ‘What are we going to build next?’” Over 8,000 people have been killed in Iraq so far this year. This does not include the wounded which is far greater in number. There is no safe place. We are getting reports of whole families being killed in their homes during night raids, one family recently of twenty two. No one is safe...

Lennon’s great achievement lies in matching Mailer’s energy and talent with his own. This is surely one of the best biographies ever written of an American writer.” He was born in Fall River, and grew up in Somerset, and “spent my youth at Horseneck Beach. My wife is from Newport, and so when I retired from the university in 2005, we moved first to Provincetown, and then in 2007 to Westport to write the Mailer biography. We settled on Westport as a great place to live, and within striking distance of friends and relatives. Plus, we love the quiet, the charm, the prox- imity to Providence and Boston … I used to fish for tautog years ago, and drank at the Andy Farrisey’s bar when in college (Stonehill), but now I grow potatoes and squash and onions behind our house in the Trout Pond Subdivision off 177, just down the road from Lincoln Park where I used to dance on Saturday nights.” For more, visit www.jmichaellennon.com BRISTOL ESTATE AUCTION English Furniture, Paintings, Porcelain, Silver on the premises “PORTSIDE” 165 Poppasquash Road, Bristol WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30 AT 10:30AM Inspection: Tuesday, October 29 from 1 to 4 PM and Wednesday from 9 to 10:15 AM About the biographer Mr. Lennon is emeritus vice president for academic afairs and emeritus professor of English at Wilkes University in Pennsylvania.

Although the dump is across town lines, it’s directly upstream from Westport waterways and wells (including some that serve schools) and is a cause worth getting excited about. The records of this dump are deliberately hazy but investigators think that decades ago it was a ■ WHERE TO WRITE: receptacle for stuff no Westport Shorelines, 1701 Stafford legitimate place would Road, East Side Crossings, Tiverton, take. Its contents are RI 02878 or shorelines@east said to include dredge baynewspapers.com spoils from the once badly polluted Acushnet River, barrels of toxins included. Tests have revealed poisons, among them cyanide, lead, PCBs, cadmium, mercury and more. The state once favored cleaning the dump out and that’s still what needs doing. Some at DEP instead seem to favor a cheaper capping plan.

T Skinny ramp he good news for all who dread backing a boat down even the best of ramps is that the DOT intends to redraw and rebuild its too narrow Tiverton boat ramp. From the moment they glimpsed this new one beneath the Sakonnet River Bridge, boaters scratched their heads. At 11 or 12 feet wide, it offered just over a foot of leeway on either side of typical trailers and boats, less for some bigger ones. Just as challenging was hitting that narrow slot from the river broadside to one of the bay’s strongest currents. Cash-strapped DOT likely wasn’t happy about rebuilding something brand new but the ramp is about useless in its present form. The new ramp, and small attached park will be a welcome waterfront addition. Thanks DOT. WESTPORT SHORELINES Established in 1993 Matthew Hayes, Publisher Bruce Burdett, Editor R. S.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Shabby treatment for a talented superintendent To the editor: At last perhaps Superintendent Colley can have some relief from the constant nit-picking of a few small-minded town officers, both appointed and elected, with whom he has been remarkably patient. How about some transparency about this forced "sabbatical." As far as I can see, it is unfair and a result of pettiness. Perhaps that is why we are not told the reason. What a loss for Westport of one more talented and dedicated person who has contributed more to the town than their naysayers have. Are there too many with power here who are in love with mediocrity? Can there be any greater indictment of the dumbing down of our public education system than this action and that of the extremists in the federal government? How ironic that Russian citizens now in Washington, D.C., supposedly to learn how great our democracy is, are seeing just the opposite. Our claims to celebrate democracy have been proven hollow. We have lost our credibility as the world watches it fail here. We need good educators like Dr. Colley to redress years of poor education. Just recently, National Pubic Radio gave schools of education in the United States a failing grade, one long overdo. We have gone from fad to fad with no improvement. When I was in elementary school we had geography and world history and learned how the federal government works. Today some citizens think that one person can change laws by him or herself, although there are 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 in the Senate. Democracy is the art of compromise but too many of our poorly educated citizens do not understand that. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams said that for democracy to survive everyone must be educated. People today give lip service to the need for good education but their actions speak against them, as funding is cut and teachers are demoralized by constantly increasing class sizes, discipline problems, and too much paperwork. Superintendent Colley has been judicious, patient, cool under pressure, has saved the town money, has spent more time than he is paid for — with what reward? MCAS scores have risen under his tenure. Parents have found him accessible. What a shame that we treat him so shabbily! Grace G. Newcomer Westport Violet shoots from hip, should apologize To the editor: In Arlene Violet's column in the October 9-10 East Bay Life, "GOP shoots itself in the foot," she writes, "The GOP has shown a way to avoid any background check [for firearms]...by holding a raffle." She further states "...no screening process is in place for the winner(s)." These statements are untrue and alarmist. The holders of the raffle have said that no winner will be handed a gun; Rather, they will have to get their prize through a licensed firearms dealer and go through the same checks as anyone obtaining a gun in Rhode Island. Ms. Violet has not done her homework and owes an apology to the RIGOP and, more importantly, to her readers. Tom Padwa Warren Westport Shorelines October 24, 2013 Page 7 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Coal plant will indeed be missed To the editor: Once again, emotion rules and the facts are ignored; after all, it is too inconvenient to tell the truth. It is amazing how radical environmentalists can get away with that. Brayton Point Station can produce about 1,537 Megawatts [MW] of electric power. That can light 1,500,000 homes. Those cooling towers and the remainder of the improvements to clean up plant emissions cost $1 billion. So, now, with the station closing, how are you going to replace all that energy loss? How are you going to provide inexpensive electric power to New Bedford, Fall River, Rhode Island and other South Coast homes, hospitals, schools and industrial plants? Let's talk solar: In order to produce 1 MW of power, a solar array must cover about five acres of ground per MW. So, in order to produce 1,537 MW, the solar array has to cover 7,685 acres [5 x 1,537]. Do tell us where the land will be located, please? How about the Fall River Freetown State Forest? Sorry, the Commonwealth won't let you do that. Anywhere else nearby? Nope. Also, the sun does not shine at night and sometimes around here, not during the day, either. Snow does not help and we get certainly that precipitate in the bay area. Let's talk wind energy. Takes an land area with a minimum of about three acres per wind generator, each of which may produce about 3 MW. Problem is, the wind does not blow 24 hours a day, and, according to Wind Energy America, it takes a minimum wind speed of about 6 meters per second for the windmills to generate electricity and one wind generator can supply up to 350 homes. Which means that, if one Brayton could supply 1,500,000 homes, then it will take up to 4,285 wind turbines to replace Brayton and, at three acres per turbine, 12,857 acres of land to support the array. Right across the bay, of course. Let's talk water power, the very simple, most reliable and nearly infinitely renewable resource to produce electric power on the planet. The cheapest and most abundant source of hydro power is from the Province of Quebec, Canada. Although your local electrical utilities have made compacts with Quebec Hydro to provide power into the ISO grid in New England, friends of yours in northern New Hampshire, dear editors, have banded together to stop the proposed new power line from bringing that electricity to power the presses which print your little newspaper. They call it the Northern Pass Project. Let's talk natural gas. For those of us who study history and benefit by that study, it is a little known fact that there is a coal seam which runs under Aquidneck Island, all the way, perhaps, to Plymouth, MA. Fracking anyone? Oh, no, not in MY back yard [Origin of the term NIMBY]. So much for cheap gas. So, what to do? Wind farms in the bay, or maybe, we had better make that Block Island Sound. After all, we can't disturb anyone's views, can we? Electric bills going up? So what? That's the price we have to pay for putting 240 people out of work and closing a plant that, at one time, provided more than $16 million in real estate tax revenues to the Town of Somerset. Oh, and what about that? How is the town going to replace those lost revenues? Sell the Brayton Point land to a developer. Guess what? Nearly 95 percent of the entire peninsula on which the power plant is located is within a FEMA flood zone. Sorry, folks, the government can't help you there. Government going to help replace the lost money? I don't know. Ask the City of Fall River if it has yet recovered from the 2,000 semi-skilled and skilled jobs it lost when Quaker Fabric went bankrupt in 2007? By the way, Quaker was one of the region's largest electricity users. So, according to the Sakonnet Times editor, we "...will be well rid of [the] coal plant...". Indeed. Tell it to the folks who lost their jobs and to the Board of Selectmen in Somerset who will have to come up with alternate ways of raising money to support the town. Chapter 9, anyone? Whatever happened to the real spirit of this area that made it an industrial colossus? Where is the pride that goes into the economic strength which was created in this region because we have the resources and manpower to produce it? Where is it? Bernard P.

Westport Shorelines October 24, 2013 Page 13 ‘Remembering Adamsville’ exhibit’s final weekend Outdoor closing celebration, book signing and coffee hour at Gray’s Grist Mill WESTPORT/LITTLE COMPTON — On Saturday, Oct. 26, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Little Compton Historical Society, Gray’s Daily Grind and Gray’s Grist Mill will cohost a book signing and coffee hour to celebrate the final weekend of the “Remembering Adamsville” outdoor exhibition. The temporary outdoor exhibit opened in July and features over 40 roadside signs highlighting Adamsville’s historic people, places and things. The illustrated signs point out missing churches and libraries, underground wagon scales, Adamsville’s famous Spite Tower and the still-operating Gray’s Grist Mill just to name a few sites. The exhibit is easily accessible by car or foot and is free and open to the public. Maps to the signs will be available during the coffee hour. The exhibit will remain up through Monday, Oct. 28. One of Adamsville’s most unique features is that the village encompasses three different towns and two states. Saturday’s books signing and coffee hour will take place at Gray’s Daily Grind and Gray’s Grist Mill both located at 638 Adamsville Road just over the R.I. state line in Westport. Plentiful parking is available across the street in the field overlooking the Adamsville Pond dam. During the coffee hour, Adamsville residents whose oral history interviews appear in the book “Remembering Adamsville,” will be on hand to sign copies. The book features 58 oral histories shared by people with strong ties to the village of Adamsville. It is for sale at the Wilbor House Museum, Gray’s Daily Grind and other local retailers. Anyone purchasing a copy of the book during the event will be treated to a free coffee courtesy of Gray’s Daily Grind. The book’s cover features a portrait of Thornton Simmons, the miller at Gray’s Grist Mill. Though the outdoor exhibit is closing, the information and images discovered during the “Remembering Adamsville” project will live on through the book and the resources of the Little Compton Historical Society. Much of the material featured in the outdoor exhibit is also available online at SakonnetHistoric al.com. For more information, call the historical society at 401/6354035 or Gray’s Daily Grind at 774/264-9669.

Buzzards Bay Coalition photo. Bicyclists boost Buzzards Bay with long ride One hundred thirty cyclists pedaled across Southeastern Massachusetts on Sunday, Oct. 6, to show their support for a clean and healthy Buzzards Bay during the Buzzards Bay Coalition’s seventh annual Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride. The scenic 75-mile bike route runs from Westport to Falmouth. The event has so far raised more than $63,000 to support the nonprofit coalition’s education, conservation, research and advocacy work. Supporters can still donate to the Watershed Ride through October 31 at www.saveb u z z a r d s b a y. o r g / W a t e r shedRide. “The Buzzards Bay Coalition’s work in educating and advocating for the health of the Bay is close to my heart,” said Ian Duff of New Bedford, a sailor and cyclist who rode in his second Watershed Ride. “I participate in the Watershed Ride because I want to give back to the commu- nity.” The first riders rode away from Westport Rivers Vineyard and Winery at 9 a.m., winding through Westport’s coastal farmland, Padanaram village, New Bedford’s working waterfront, the leafy Fairhaven bike path and Mattapoisett’s rural roads before stopping for lunch at Eastover Farm in Rochester. There, additional riders joined the Watershed Ride for the final 35 miles through Wareham’s cranberry bogs, over the Bourne Bridge and down Falmouth’s Shining Sea Bikeway to end at Quissett Harbor in Falmouth. Along the way, riders had to pedal through a few passing rain showers. But organizers said everybody was in great spirits at the finish line, where riders and their guests were welcomed with warm food, drinks, prizes, complimentary massages, and live music from The Dancing Dogs. “Everything about the Water- Bicycle repairman Dave Gilbert helps cyclist Michael Heyman get a wheel trued-up before the ride start at Westport Rivers Vineyard. shed Ride is so nicely organized and beautifully supported – there are amazing volunteers, and tons of them!” said Leslie Knowles, a seven-time water- shed rider from South Dartmouth and one of this year’s top fundraisers. “And the party at the end was just great.” The Watershed Ride drew cyclists from across Southeastern Massachusetts and New England, and as far away as New York, Washington, D.C., and Australia. The top fundraiser was Andy van Dam of Barrington, R.I., who raised $4,150. Having once lived along the race course in Falmouth, Mr. van Dam said the Watershed Ride is like coming home for him, providing extra motivation to fundraise. “It’s a great cause, one that I believe in strongly, so I worked the network for support. Folks were happy to support this great organization.” The Buzzards Bay Watershed Ride is one of two signature outdoor events hosted by the coalition. The other is the Buzzards Bay Swim, a 1.2-mile open-water swim across outer New Bedford Harbor. The 21st annual Buzzards Bay Swim will take place Saturday, June 28, 2014.

Page 16 Westport Shorelines October 24, 2013 Her water work out of this world Former THS valedictorian works on clean water for astronauts Research done by a former Tiverton High School valedictorian may someday help provide a more reliable flow of clean water to space explorers. Heather Jamieson, a 2008 Tiverton High School graduate, has been selected as one of 65 graduate students to the 2013 class of Space Technology Research Fellows. She’s now a graduate student (PhD fellow) in chemical engineering at Arizona State University in Tempe, Az., and her project carries a long name: Nanosized Linde Type A Zeolites Providing Water-Selective Transport Pathways Through Chlorine Tolerant Polymers in Molecular Sieve Nanocomposite (MoSIN) Membranes for Reclamation of Impaired Waters. It’s all about finding better ways to filter waste water into drinking water for astronauts. “One of the challenges faced by NASA is providing clean water from the limited supplies available in the isolated environment of a space shuttle or station,” Ms. Jamieson said. “A viable option is recycling water from all available sources, namely urine and urine brine, through the use of membrane processes such as reverse osmosis.” The challenge, her proposal states, is developing materials that allow water through while separating out contaminants. “We propose a membrane that consists of a thin polymer top layer containing molecular sieve nanoparticles that are highly selective for water,” she writes. JESSICA SLATER/ASU Heather Jamieson works in the laboratory at Arizona State University. This will be applied to a “porous support layer that will allow for high water flux.” Present commercial reverse osmosis membranes do a poor job of rejecting some substances found in urine. Ultrafine nanoparticle sieves hold great promise, she wrote, but “such membranes are brittle, and require high temperatures to produce. Our membrane design will likely provide excellent separation, decreased cost of production ... flexibility and long- term durability.” Ms. Jamieson credits a Tiverton High School teacher with stirring her interest in chemical engineering at a young age. “My high school chemistry teacher, Mrs. Busse, definitely had a big influence on my interest in chemistry. She was an excellent teacher and always let us learn chemistry the fun way. I also have a great love of math, which seems to be genetic, so I decided to put them together and study chemical engineering.” After leaving Tiverton High School, Ms. Jamieson went on to graduate summa cum laude from the University of Rhode Island in 2012 with a BS degree in chemical engineering. She is a member of Tau Beta Pi, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. At Arizona State, Ms. Jamieson said she explored several areas of chemical engineering before focusing on membrane technologies. “The separation aspect appeals to my lifelong need for organization. Now I get to figure out how to organize molecules! My adviser, Dr. Mary Laura Lind, encouraged me to apply for this fellowship, as it seemed to be a perfect fit for our research. Plus, I have always thought it would be really cool to work for NASA, so I feel very lucky to have this opportunity.” “By partnering with and invest- “My high school chemistry teacher, Mrs. Busse, definitely had a big influence on my interest in chemistry.” HEATHER JAMIESON ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY ing in America’s brightest minds, we are guaranteeing a great future for NASA and the nation,” said Michael Gazarik, NASA’s associate administrator for space technology. “These technology research efforts will bolster America’s competitiveness in a knowledgebased, global technology economy while enabling our space exploration goals.” Heather is the daughter of Eric and Lynn Jamieson. Westport Shorelines October 24, 2013 Page 17 Fisherman’s Boat from Portsmouth sinks, skipper rescued Ball is Nov. 16 Truscott to receive Crow’s Nest Award LITTLE COMPTON — The Sakonnet community will mark the end of this summer season by celebrating the time-honored Fisherman’s Ball on Saturday, Nov. 16, from 6-10 p.m. at the Sakonnet Point Club. The event, which is open to the public, will also celebrate this year’s winner of the Crow’s Nest Award, William “Ted” Truscott. The Fisherman’s Ball enjoys a rich history dating back to 1939. Life Magazine featured a pictorial of the event in October of 1940. A highlight is the awarding of the Crow’s Nest Award. This tradition, established anonymously in 1967, trumpets the Point’s Citizen of the Year. The recipient must be a resident, employed at the Point, a fisherman, or regular visitor and have made a significant personal difference to the general wellbeing of the Sakonnet area. The bronze award is mounted to the transom of an old skiff taken from the Fo’c’s’le. The committee of 1967 created the bronze award featuring Ahab standing in the Crow’s Nest looking through the long glass hoping to sight the great white whale — “We all spend some time in the ‘crow’s nest’ in search of something.” The Committee hoped the award would serve to recognize at least a few of those who keep their long glass in focus. The award is permanently displayed at the entrance of the Sakonnet Point Club bar. It is not presented each year, only when the committee decides there is a worthy nominee. This year’s menu will feature a raw bar, a carving Station with prime rib and blackened pork loin, hors d’oeuvres, and a clam chowder station. Cost is $35, children under 12, $10. A cash bar will be available. To keep with tradition, guests are encouraged to come in nautical/fishing attire. Space is limited, — call (401) 635-2582 x406 early for tickets. Coast Guard rescue crews from Station Castle Hill along with a good samaritan rescued a man whose 38-foot boat had caught fire and was sinking near the entrance to the Sakonnet River at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Watchstanders at Section Southeastern New England received a call via cell phone from the operator confirming that he was the only one onboard, had not sustained any injuries and was abandoning ship into his 8-foot dinghy. Another boater arrived at the dinghy within 15 minutes and recovered the man who was later transferred to a 45-foot Coast Guard boat which took him to the station. He was evaluated by the Coast Guard EMT at the station who recommended no further medical treatment. Several fire departments dispatched boats, among them Portsmouth and Middletown. The boat sank while firefighters were fighting the fire. The boat, identified by the Coast Guard as a fiberglass Blackfin 38 named Black Jack, was homeported in Portsmouth. The Coast Guard is investigating the incident and did not disclose the name of the owner. The 38-foot boat Black Jack caught fire and sank near the entrance to the Sakonnet River on Saturday. PHOTO FROM US COAST GUARD Page 18 Westport Shorelines October 24, 2013 Rodrigues named to power plant task force Will help plan for coal plant shutdowns Senator Michael Rodrigues (DWestport) was appointed last week to serve on the state’s Plant Revitalization Task Force, a committee charged with developing a plan, adopting rules and regulations, and recommending legislative action to ensure the full deconstruction, remediation, and redevelopment or repowering of certain power plants across the Commonwealth. “With the recent and sudden announcement that Brayton Point Power Plant plans to close in 2017, this appointment to the Plant Revitalization Task Force could not have come at a more critical junc- ture,” said Senator Rodrigues. “I am eager to serve and committed to ensuring the needs of the community of Somerset and the employees of Brayton Point are addressed as we work together in planning the future of coal-fired power plants and the communities that host them.” The Plant Revitalization Task Force was created as part of “An Act Relative to the competitively priced electricity in the Commonwealth,” and was initially intended to plan for the decommission of the Salem Harbor Power Station by December 31, 2016. Since then, the Task Force has expanded in scope, and is now also required to make similar plans for other coal-fired power plants that may face closure prior to December 31, 2017. Under the law, the Task Force has three goals: (1) options for the full financing of the cleanup of Salem Harbor Power Station, (2) the identification of existing state or federal programs available that may assist in the redevelopment or repowering of the site; and (3)the creation of new programs, grants, or other incentives to encourage the redevelopment or repowering of the site. Richard Sullivan, secretary of energy and environmental affairs, serves as chairman of the Plant Revitalization Task Force. He formed three subcommittees; Sen. Rodrigues has been chosen to serve as a member of the Task Force’s Subcommittee on the Decommissioning of Future Plants. Life insurance? Retirement plan? Wills?

Little Compton — ‘Best Small Town’ Little Compton, a “quintessential New England town” has made Executive Travel magazine’s list of ‘America’s Best Small Towns.’ The article, appearing in the September issue, selects a dozen small places. The Little Compton piece is accompanied by a photo of the Historical Society’s Wilbor House. About Little Compton, the authors write, “Looking for the quintessential New England town? You can’t get much closer than Little Compton, Rhode Island. Just a swim away from neighboring Massachusetts, the tiny village was settled back in the 17th century by folks from Plymouth Colony who wanted to expand their land holdings. History and architecture buffs won’t want to miss the Wilbor House, built in 1692 and now home to the Little Compton Historical Society. Be sure to explore the town commons too, one of only three in the state, the whole of which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Lloyd’s Beach, where locals (and visitors in the know) go to swim, is just down the road. The entrance can be formidable, but battle valiantly past the rocks and a lovely swath of sand awaits your towel. End the day with a sea-to-table dinner at the Sakonnet Point Marina. Locally caught lobster and oysters pair perfectly with glasses of award-winning Gewürztraminer from Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyards.

Annie’s bright-eyed and expressive face gives no clue about the chronic pain and exhaustion that had plagued her slow recovery from her two most recent bouts with Lyme disease. In reality, this meeting is likely costing her an opportunity to rest before her children get off the school bus—no small sacrifice, considering she also works part-time as a speech therapist. Raising her young family in the same rural Rehoboth home in which she grew up, surrounded by undeveloped and thickly-forested land, it’s a beautiful place to make a home. It’s also ideal habitat for deer—and the Lyme-disease carrying ticks that they host. Annie’s first bout with Lyme was actually back in college. At the time she was treated with the standard protocol—a round of antibiotics. But when she was reinfected in the summer of 2012, things were dif- S ferent. She never saw a tick, or the giveaway bullseye rash, but she was stricken with terrible migraines and a stiff neck. The traditional “western blot” test for Lyme was negative, but, as she has since found out, that’s meaningless. “The test has about a 50% failure rate,” she says. “I was fortunate that my physician recognized it for what it was.” Annie began the antibiotic protocol, but after 4 days, her symptoms worsened. “I was hallucinating. I was diagnosed with Lyme meningitis—the Lyme had actually entered my spinal fluid and traveled to my brain.” She spent a week in the hospital, and on the day she was discharged the attending physician told Annie, “You are going to hear about chronic Lyme disease. There is no such thing.” “I believed him,” Annie said. She would have plenty of opportunity to regret that. Her migraines never really went away; her energy never really returned. Then this past July, her symptoms intensified again. Once again, she would not respond satisfactorily to the antibiotic protocol, and once again, she was hospitalized with Lyme Disease.

Annie LaBrie, 35, is recovering from her second debilitating battle with Lyme Disease in less than two years. treatment even tried to suggest that her symptoms were the result of “nerves,” as he sent her home, claiming she was “treated.” The fact that Annie is currently recovering slowly, after more than two months of antibiotic therapy through a PICC line, is something she credits her personal physician. “Thank God for Dr. (Alan) Dennison,” she says. “He fought hard to get me the treatment I needed. I feel he saved my life.” Annie does point out that Dr. Dennison is a primary care physician, and anyone looking for a Lyme specialist should use the search engine provided by The Lyme Disease Association: www.lymediseaseassociation.org. Annie has lost two summers with her young children, daily chores continue to be a struggle, and she has recently learned that two of her Scout is ‘fully adrift’ in the mid-Atlantic ystems apparently shut down, little transatlantic boat Scout is meandering about the mid-Atlantic, adrift and traveling at the whim of wind and currents. The 13-foot Tiverton-built solarpowered electric motorboat that set out from Sakonnet Point nearly two months ago seems to have lost her way not Bruce far from the final BURDETT resting place of the Titanic — well over 1,000 miles out into the Atlantic. In the nearly three weeks since then, the boat has wandered first east, then south and then seemed briefly to be trying to head back home. “Scout is now basically a message in a bottle that’s 1,300 miles away from the New England coast,” said Dylan Rodriguez of Tiverton.

Davis’ season-ending total of 0.9364 edged Whitehouse’s 0.9313 for the title. The two boats dominated the 14-boat fleet, with one or the other taking first place 13 times (Aquila did it six times, Osprey won seven) in the 22-race series. Walter Bopp and Mischief won four times but missed too many races to qualify. The rest of the 10 season qualifiers were: 3. Firefly, Alan Silken 4. Surprise, Fred Roy 5. Argument, Stephen Sloan 6.

Alerion 41 nominated Cruising World magazine has nominated the new Alerion 41, built by USWatercraft in Warren, in its 2014 Boat of the Year competition. It is among three choices for the midsize cruisers category. Says the nominating committee, “The latest Alerion to join the growing family of gorgeous-tolook-at and glorious-to-sail daysailers is the 41. But this new model takes things a step further with standing headroom and staterooms for two couples, making it an easy-to-handle coastal cruiser that will still turn heads.” Salty Dawg his century mark What began a few years ago with a Bristol couple’s attempt to assemble a small group of friends to sail south together in the fall, has grown to become the dominant cruising rally – The Salty Dawg Rally – on the U.S. East Coast. Co-founders Bill and Linda Knowles say that more than 100 boats registered this year to depart from East Coast ports in early November. The 2013 Salty Dawg Rally broke the ‘century mark’ of 100 boats shortly after this year’s Newport International Boat Show, where the Knowles had a booth. “The first fall, in 2011, we had 32 boats join; last fall we had 59 boats, and so far this year we have more than 100 boats, and more may join before we depart,” Linda Knowles said. “That’s enough that, if they were lined up end to end, the line would be close to a mile in length. The Salty Dawg Rally, free for all participants, was launched by the Knowles with their Jeanneau 54DS, Sapphire, and their Jack Russell terrier, Brie, the original ‘Salty Dawg’. The rally leaves Hampton, Virginia and other U.S. East Coast ports in the fall, headed for the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and other ports in the Caribbean, and returns in the spring. The rally is comprised of blue water sailors who have completed at least one blue water passage. Mr. Knowles said credits amaraderie and benefits for the growth. “Our Rally improves constantly due to an increasing number of sponsors, and the benefits that they bring to participants not merely in gifts and merchandise, but in sponsored educational programs and seminars that we hold. Participation in the rally is free, but more importantly, due to the length of time spent together in the fall, friendships are developed that last forever. Our Dawgs are always running into each other in other ports up and down the Caribbean.” For more, visit www.saltydawgrally.com. children are infected with Lyme (one of whom is being actively treated.)

While you may think that, like mosquitoes, the risk of encountering a tick vanishes over the winter, the truth is that cold weather actually drives deer closer to human development for forage, carrying ticks with them. In addition to insecticides, there are numerous deer repellants on the market that can be used to compel deer to go elsewhere for forage. Annie LaBrie prefers a natural garlic-based tick-repellant spray over insecticides, although she notes that you do need to reapply often. Her husband Joshua has distributed several “tick tubes” in their yard as well. These are basically tubes stuffed with cotton that have been treated with permetherin, a synthetic insecticide. Mice (who carry Lyme) pull the cotton from the tubes and carry it back to their nests. According to the CDC, there are several housekeeping tasks that will help encourage a tick-safe yard: ■ Remove leaf litter. ■ Clear tall grasses and brush around house and lawn. ■ Place a barrier of wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas (3 feet is the recommendation) to restrict tick migration. ■ Mow frequently. ■ Stack wood neatly and keep dry, to discourage mice. ■ Keep swing sets and furniture away from perimeter of yard. ■ Fence to keep animals out. ■ Remove debris and trash that give ticks a place to hide. East Bay Life October 23-24, 2013 Page B3 HOME IMPROVEMENT Staying powered up when the power is down Weather events of the past few years have tested both the power grid and patience of East Bay residents, most recently (but certainly not the least) being last years’s power-killing blizzard. Accustomed to tropical-induced outages, the extended blackout in the middle of a winter freeze was a chilling reality check for the large number of us who realized that, without electricity, we had no heat. But it’s not just blackouts that cause problems when it’s cold— water can seep into cracks and then freeze, causing damage from your roof to your driveway. In advance of the cold weather, here are a few basic steps you can take to protect your home: Clean your gutters Leaves and small branches can build up in your gutters, preventing water from draining off the roof. When this water freezes it can create an ice dam, damaging shingles and creating roof leaks. Seal concrete When water gets into concrete cracks in the winter, it will freeze and expand the original crack, forcing replacement of the damaged concrete. Inspect your dri- veway and any sidewalk on your property before the first frost, so you can proactively stop damage before it starts. Insulate Protect pipes from freezing by wrapping with pipe insulation. Check your doors and windows for leaks or gaps and fill with caulk or weather stripping. Despite best efforts, bad weather still happens, shutting down systems and damaging property. Clearly, the ideal answer is a standby generator, but for many (if not most) of us, the large size and prohibitive cost of such a system makes it less than practical. But the impact of an extended power outage can be significant: from spoiled food and frozen pipes to failed pumps, all systems may be affected. And personal safety may also be a concern, depending on circumstances. DO: Prepare a plan that covers emergency evacuation and rendezvous plans, along with contact details for family and emergency contact numbers. Prepare a survival stash of food, water, and first aid supplies—at least 3 days’ worth—that you can access easily when needed. Turn off or unplug major appliances and unplug minor ones, to minimize damage and prevent system overload when the power is restored. DON’T: Connect a portable generator directly into the electrical system of your home. Ever. You could fry a costly element of your home’s electrical infrastructure, or worse, create a dangerous—even deadly—buildup of carbon monoxide inside your home. Renovate with resale in mind When you are making improvements to your home it’s important to have a sense of how long you plan to hold on to the property. If you are already in your “forever home,” do what makes you happy. But if you plan to sell down the road, and can’t afford to throw your money away, carefully consider what changes increase the value of a home vs those that can actually reduce its value. According to Realtor Chris Woodard, of Keller Williams in Bristol, “Most folks realize at this point—because of all of the home improvement shows—that kitchens and bathrooms are what help sell properties quicker. When thinking about what will help increase the value of a property for resale, don’t consider a personal preference like a pool. Some buyers are actually turned off by the thought of a pool and will move on to another property. Even things like koi ponds can overwhelm buyers simply because they don’t know how to care for them.” Considering Chris’ advice, here are a few Restoration resources Whether you are shopping for a particular detail to fit your historic home, or are interested in accenting your decor with unique finds, architectural antique and salvage dealers make for great browsing. There are several resources within a couple hours’ drive of the East Bay. Here’s the best of the best in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire.

And consider installing a whirlpool bath. ■ Update flooring with wood, stone or tile—not linoleum. ■ Take any opportunity to add light, either with upgraded doors, added windows, even skylights. ■ Landscape! Don’t: ■ Add carpet. “Used” carpet, no matter how well-maintained, can turn off many buyers. ■ As Chris says, avoid pools and ponds, or anything that might look like work to a buyer. ■ Go crazy with colorful wall paint. Sticking with neutrals will be more appealing to many buyers looking for a turnkey property. ■ If your roof needs help, prioritize that. It not only helps maintain your property, realtors know that bad roofs are often deal-breakers. Buyers won’t see your gorgeous renovated bathrooms if they are fixated on your crumbling roof. 508/992-1099; nedsalvage.com CONNECTICUT Irreplaceable Artifacts 428 Main S., Middletown 860/344-8576; irreplaceableartifacts.com NEW HAMPSHIRE Architectural Salvage Inc. 3 Mill St., Exeter 603/773-5635; oldhousesalvage.com ADMAC Salvage 111 Saranac St., Littleton 603/444-1200; admacsalvage.com Nor’East Architectural Antiques 6 Exeter Road, South Hampton 603/394-0006; noreast1.com 61st ANNIVERSARY Celebrating 61 years of setting the standards for safety and outstanding service in Rhode Island & Southeastern Massachusetts PHILIP VIVEIROS President P ROPANE GAS For all your propane needs from grill tanks to large commercial and industrial applications. 477 Crandall Road, Tiverton FOR THE BEST IN EXPERIENCE & RELIABILITY CALL: Residential • Commercial LICENSED IN RHODE ISLAND AND MASSACHUSETTS 401-624-6395 1-800-647-4457 EAST PROVIDENCE 2745 Pawtucket Avenue 401-434-3030 Lic #A3312 Residential & Commercial Electrical Contractor Specializing in Multi-Family Fire Alarms System Replacing Electrical Services Automatic & Manual Standby Generator Systems Call for a Quote Today!

East Bay Life October 23-24, 2013 Page B7 POLI-TICKS Licht, Langevin, and librarians, oh my! W ith all the antics in D.C. between the Democrats and Republicans, local legends are getting an (almost) free pass with a circus of their own. Here are three L’s—Licht, Langevin and librarians—that have all recently boosted Little Rhody’s “yuck” factor. And all Arlene these wounds VIOLET are self-inflicted. Richard Licht—The current Director of Administration for Governor Lincoln Chafee now wants to be a Superior Court judge and follow in the footsteps of his uncle, Frank Licht. Back in 1974 there was a special interest piece of legislation, initially designed to benefit a republican, which applied to the then-former democrat governor, providing him special pension benefits. Now the nephew will become another beneficiary, if he is appointed to the Court and the law is left intact, ultimately earning about $128,000 per year in his pension (vs. the roughly $49,000 for which he presently qualifies.) He can also retire at age 62. Mr. Licht has already gotten a free ticket by the Ethics Commission which has fallen all over itself to determine that he is not a “policy-maker,” meaning he doesn’t have to abide by the state’s revolving door legislation which would make him wait a year before applying for the post. Lincoln Chafee should show us some of the “Trust Chaffee” motto he ran on and refuse to appoint him. Alternatively, the solons on Smith Hill should repeal the law before any such appointment. The law is a piece of foolishness and a relic of a reckless time of pension giveaways. Congressman James Langevin— Congressman Langevin has made an announcement that he unwittingly made a profit on an investment scheme that apparently preyed on terminally ill people. WJAR-TV reported that he loaned money to a relative who made the investment and paid Mr. Langevin back the money plus an $8600 return. He eschews any knowledge of the details of the loans, and refused to disclose the amount and terms of the loan or the terms. He says he has since donated the money to charity. In other words, he got caught in an unsavory deal. It’s hard to imagine how “unwitting” his “loan” was, since the Congressman pinches the buffalo on his personal nickel until it bellows. His former republican challenger has said that the money was given to the highest campaign donor to the Congressman’s re-election campaign. More investigation is needed. Librarians—Some Rhode Island librarians think that they have to reform the image of those in their profession by posing in a calendar adorned with their respective tattoos. Why librarians, who uniformly are about the smartest professionals on the globe, need any image change is beyond me. They are already among the “coolest people” in society— because of their brains. They need not apologize to today’s youth for being “grandmother’s” library. Granny is doing just fine, thank you, because of the renaissance women (and men) who have graced the library system. Sometimes it’s fine to just respect tradition. What’s next, a calendar of nuns bearing tattoos? Yuck! Have a wild(life) Halloween! This Saturday, Oct. 26, Wildlife Rehabilitators Association of Rhode Island will be holding their 10th annual Halloween Wildstock benefit concert at Jacky’s Galaxie, 383 Metacom Ave., Bristol, with entertainment by Rendition, Band of Brothers, Liquid Fix and Crushed Velvet.

STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE What’s the pedigree of “Henry” the horse? Q. I have an antique carousel horse we named “Henry” that I bought years ago. It has been a well-loved addition to my home, enjoyed by my children and grandchildren. My horse measures overall 58” long (from tip of tail to outermost knee) by 48” high (top of head to bottom of outstretched Karen and 9” WATERMAN leg), wide. The body is 38” long, 14” high and 9” wide. It does not have any markings or labels to identify it. Can you help me to date and value this? A. Originating in Europe, carousels reached a peak in America in the 1900s. Many skilled European wood carvers emigrated to the United States in the late 1800’s to satisfy the demand for carousels. The carved horses became very elaborate, with designs modeled after the pageantry and battle regalia horses wore in medieval times. The heyday of American carousels (about 4000 were made in all) lasted until the Depression, when people had less disposable income and the existing amusement parks and carousels seemed adequate enough to satisfy the demand. By the time the economy improved, technology had advanced enough so the production of labor-intensive wooden carousels was not warranted. Many were sold and dismantled, parts sold or thrown away. Carousels which at one time were the centerpiece of a park were now considered a ride for only children to enjoy. Today, fewer Hand Crafted Cutting Boards IN MAHOGANY, MAPLE AND ASH Where every product has a story. We Need More Women at the Plate W than 150 exist in the entire country. Rhode Island is fortunate enough to have several. The horses became popular in the 1970’s as unique home décor—as well as a market for fakes. Your horse does appear to have some seams which originals would have (or they would be too heavy.) The authentic original horses had finely painted details and the overall finish should be very smooth. Some included real horsehair tails and manes, leather saddles, and glass eyes. Most horses would have their heads tilted slightly to the right as the carousel would turn in a counter clockwise direction facing the outside of the carousel. Your horse may be authentic but it is not meeting the criteria of top-level examples found. To learn more and get the opinion of a specialist, go to the website for the International Museum of Carousel Art at www.carouselmuseum.com or www.carousels.com, as it is a good reference source and dealer of carousel horses.

Victorino came to Boston on a contract that seemed far too rich for his resume to join a team that performed way too poorly for what they were paid. Cara the team CROMWELL While showed its grit all year long, it took that blast to secure Victorino’s spot in Boston sports lore and send this improbable team of awesome onto the next chapter of a magical season. Sometimes the right person just has to step up to the plate at the right time. When the dust from the federal shutdown-showdown settled in Washington last week, there were no grand slams and no winners. Federal workers faced two weeks of uncertainty and financial peril, access to government resources were limited and Congress’ approval rating reached an all-time low. As the impasse ended, several news outlets noted that the brokers of compromise were (wait for it) moderate Republican women! While the men on the far left and far right were busy bashing their heads against a wall and pointing fingers, Senator Susan Collins (ME), Senator Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Senator Kelly Ayotte (NH) stepped into the fray and created the framework for compromise with Democratic colleagues Senator Barbara Mikulski (MD) and Senator Patty Murray (WA). The New York Times captured the perfect quote from Senator Collins, “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that women were so heavily involved in trying to end this stalemate. Although we span the ideological spectrum, we are used to working together in a collaborative way.” Without being disrespectful, this sounds like they were able to reduce the shutdown showdown to the politics of a PTO meeting—and kept everyone talking until the bake sale brouhaha was resolved. The truth is that women get things done because we have to—we have far too much #$%^ to do to hang around jawing about ideology, what the Framers (who had someone watching their kids and cooking their meals so they could think) would say and whether it’s going to cost us a Senate seat. In the same New York Times piece, Senator Murkowski said, “I probably will have retribution in my state. That’s fine. That doesn’t bother me at all. If there is backlash, hey, that’s what goes on in D.C., but in the meantime there is a government that is shut down. There are people who are really hurting…Politics be damned.” You go girl! The one thing that I’ll take away from the federal shutdown is that we need more women in politics. So why don’t more women run for office? The answer is predictable: we’re busy. We’re working, raising children, taking care of parents, volunteering in the community and supporting our spouses (not necessarily in that order). The less politically correct and more uncomfortable truth is that politics and governing has never been “women’s work” in American culture and young women are still reticent to say that they want to lead when they grow up. Sometimes it will even get them a pat on the head and the question “then who will raise your children?” There are some signs that the tide is turning. This week the Colt-Andrews Student Government swears in its second consecutive all-girl slate of officers (shout out to my little Parliamentarian) and in 2014 we can expect more women to contend for statewide office in Rhode Island. I don’t expect to turn things around in one season, but I will be encouraging more women to step up to the plate—and you should too.

Look for the shamrock on the sign on Warren Avenue (near the Seekonk line). The dining room is long and wide, with a bar along one side and a divider down the middle. There are hardwood floors, with tables and chairs, a banquette along one wall and high tops along the divider on the bar side. Thirteen large-screen HD flat screens ring the room — showing everything from golf to football, basketball and hockey. Great music is added to the convivial mix of talk and laughter, all of which makes Lucky’s such a fun spot. We settled at the marbletopped bar on a busy Thursday night. A game on the huge screen in front of us raged between the Boston Bruins and the Colorado Avalanche. There’s only one problem at Lucky’s — deciding what to order. The menu is extensive, everything is freshly made to order, expertly prepared, reasonably priced and always delicious. Want a drink? Choose from fun specialty cocktails (Lucky’s Apple Pie and Hot Apple Pie) and martinis, beer (a list of 26 draft choices alone that range from Shipyard Pumpkin Ale to Ithaca Flower Power IPA), margaritas, ciders and 20 wines by the glass. There are specials daily, too — create your own pizza on Monday, build your own burger on Tuesday, Wednesday is create your own pizza and Trivia Night, Thursday is Rib Night and Thursday night football, Friday offers a Seafood Spectacular (baked or fried), on Saturday it’s prime rib, and on Slider Sunday, all sliders are $2 and there’s trivia from 5 to 8 p.m. Plus, there’s live music on Fridays and Saturdays. And, every day, there are halfprice appetizers from 4 to 7 p.m. Specials on our visit, Rib Night, featured half or full racks of ribs with fries and coleslaw, a bucket of ribs, a turkey sandwich, and a tower of onion rings.

The pizza dough, rolls and desserts are from nearby Scialo’s Bakery in Riverside. Appetizers include the housemade potato chips and dip, stuffies, calamari, Dublin nachos, “The” Meatball, mozzarella sticks, lettuce wraps, chicken fingers, chicken wings, Gen. Murphy Tso’s chicken, Black Sod Bay shrimp, New England clam chowder, baked onion soup, baked chili and chips, and salads. There are four types of sliders, 10 gourmet burgers, 10 grilled pizzas, sandwiches (steak, Reuben, Cajun chicken club, veggie or Reuben fish wrap, steak bomb, three chicken wraps, and pulled pork) and salads that can be topped with tuna salad, chicken, steak tips or shrimp. For entrees (available after 5 p.m. daily), choose from fish and chips, steak tips, baked cod, chicken pot pie, meatloaf, lemon panko chicken, Southwestern smothered chicken, grilled sirloin, chicken and broccoli penne, and four types of mac and cheese (buffalo chicken, Irish, chicken BMT (bacon, mushrooms and tomato) or lobster. Appetizers are so good, we sometimes make a meal of them. The Dublin Nachos (made with Lucky’s housemade potato chips) and the General Murphy Tso’s chicken are favorites, but we wanted to try the calamari, which is lightly battered, fried until golden and tossed in a garlic and basil sauce with sliced banana peppers, and served with a side of marinara. The Black Sod Bay shrimp are another favorite — eight big, meaty shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy aioli that leans more spicy than sweet. The baby back ribs are superb — slow-cooked, cut apart, deepfried and then bathed in a secret blend of sauces that have a hint of citrus. Just marvelous, with a sauce that’s not too spicy so the sweet, tender meat isn’t overwhelmed. The Lucky Pizza is a good choice, with lots of mozzarella, marinara sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms and caramelized onions. The thin grilled pizzas have a nice, crisp crust. The American steak sandwich was a revelation, with a tender, juicy sirloin steak layered on a big, fresh torpedo roll, with melted American cheese, sautéed mushrooms and onions, lettuce and tomato. It’s obvious why it’s so popular. And, the housemade french fries have lots of fresh potato flavor — cut with some of the skin remaining, then fried crispy and brown, but tender inside. If you can handle it, there are desserts — triple chocolate cake, peanut butter cake and brownie sundaes on our visit. But, a clever idea is to have one of Lucky’s special martinis — a dessert in a glass. On our visit, there was a chocolate peanut butter cup martini with chocolate sauce drizzled in the bottom of the glass, a peanutty martini, a mound of whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a mini peanut butter cup on top. And, the pumpkin cheesecake martini was equally gorgeous, creamy and sweet. The weekly Dining Review is rotated among restaurants that advertise in the Food & Dining section.

See FACING PAGE East Bay Life October 23-24, 2013 Page B11 & Food Dining The Golden Triangle of Sherry BY PETER ANDREWS Styles of Sherry, ranging from lightest/driest to most full & sweet CSS, CSW, MBA S herry is a wildly misunderstood wine. A fortified beauty from the southwest of Spain, Sherry offers aromas and flavors that no other wine can offer. From the soil type, climate and grape varietal, to origins in “The Golden Triangle,” Sherry is a wine that is well worth a try. Nestled far southwest of Spain lies the Golden Triangle region— Jerez, El Puerto de Santa Maria (El Puerto) & Sanlucar de Barrameda (Sanlucar). Because of varying soil types and climates, each of these small regions offer unique styles of Sherry. Jerez lies furthest inland and is known for its Albariza soil type. Albariza is a spectacularly white chalky soil that can absorb up to 33% of its own weight in water. During the extremely hot & dry summer months, the soil forms a thick crust that prevents rapid evaporation and keeps the vines hydrated. The coastal regions of El Puerto & Sanlucar offer a completely different soil type. They are loam and sand-based, which offers faster evaporation and riper grapes. Jerez gives more elegance while El Puerto & Sanlucar give more power. As the grapes are harvested and fermented, there are several grades the dry finished Sherry receives. These grades determine the final style of the Sherry. (These styles range from the nonoxidatively aged Fino, Manzanilla & Amontillado, to the oxidatively aged Oloroso, Cream Sherry & Palo Cortado). At this point, the wine is fortified. The best & most elegant wine will turn into Fino, Manzanilla & Amontillado Sherry—which is fortified to no more than 15% ABV. Wine destined for nutty & rich Oloroso, Cream & Palo Cortado Sherry will be fortified to 17%. The alcohol percentage plays a significant role in Sherry’s aging. At 15% ABV, a film of frothy white yeast known as the flor develops. The flor cannot survive at any more than 15% ABV. The Flor yeast is an integral part in making nonoxidative styles of Sherry. This yeast prevents the wine from oxygen (and oxidation) as it feeds on the acidity in the wine. The Flor can only develop in southwestern Spain due its special climate characterized by humidity from the FINO SHERRY Very dry & pale sherry, with yeast and almond notes. Drink very well-chilled as an aperitif with light tapas. Once opened, drink within a day. Matured non-oxidatively with Flor. MANZANILLA SHERRY The lightest style of sherry; dry, with obvious briny notes. Once opened, drink within a day. Aged non-oxidatively with Flor. AMONTILLADO SHERRY Amber color and dry; deeper, darker complex flavors of dark roasted nuts. Once opened, drink within a week. Aged oxidatively, without the Flor. PALO CORTADO A very rare, dry and subtle sherry. Aroma tends to be similar to Amontillado; flavor tends to be similar to Oloroso. Matured Oxidatively with Flor. OLOROSO SHERRY Full bodied and complex with aromas of dried fruit, tobacco and nuts. Drink within a month of opening. Aged Oxidatively without the Flor. CREAM SHERRY Oloroso Sherry base to which sweet wine from Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel has been added. Very Sweet. Drink within a month of opening. Aged Oxidatively without Flor. PEDRO XIMENEZ SHERRY Varietal Dessert wine; very sweet. Notes of fig, jam and prunes with a rustic earthy backbone. Drink within a month of opening. Aged Oxidatively, without the Flor. sea air. These climatic conditions are so important that each Bodega (winery) has been designed to catch air flow in the most efficient ways to create the Flor. Once the wine is fortified and is destined for its style, it is time to age it. The aging process happens in what is known as the Solera System. Confusingly, solera has two meanings; the aging system is called the solera as well as the final casks in which the wine is bottled from are known as the solera. Sherry aging with the flor requires constant nourishment. This comes in the form of fresh wine entering the solera system. So how is it done? As seen in the image, there are many levels of aging. The lead blender known as the Capataz, takes no more than 1/3 of the wine from the solera. In this case, the bottom row of casks are to be bottled. As the Capataz takes out his desired amount of Sherry to be bottled, he will then refill it from each previous Criadera. A criadera is simply each level of aged casks. Once the Capataz reaches the top level, he will refill that same quantity taken with the newly fortified wine. These solera casks can either be aged with flor yeast or not—it all depends on the style desired. So, after all of that, you deserve a glass of sherry! Now that you see the intense amount of work that goes into making sherry, don’t you think it’s worth a second chance? The complexity and longevity of these wines is remarkable. Do not be scared by the stuff your grandmother used to drink; the Sherry of new is fun and exciting. It is both food-friendly and surprisingly inexpensive. 2, she will share her knowledge of the region’s culinary traditions at a book signing at Barrington Books, 184 County Road.

We would like to help you prepare for your knee or hip replacement surgery by giving you some information to help you before and after your procedure. (Elbow, shoulder and ankle joint replacements also exist.) Prior to your surgery, you should prepare your home environment. It is always important to be safety conscious. You should consider removing throw rugs or area rugs to prevent a fall. Create a one-floor environment, as stairs may be difficult at first. It may be recommended that you make one or two trips up/down the stairs per day initially. Also keep in mind you may be using an assistive device such as a cane, crutches or a walker. More importantly, you should prepare your body. An overall conditioning program before your surgery will speed your recovery. Research has shown exercise and stretching focused on strengthening the muscles of the involved limb and increasing your range of motion can reduce your post procedure rehabilitation time. You should always discuss these activities with your primary care doctor, surgeon and/or physical therapist before beginning a program. The exercise program will be designed by your therapist, using the goals you helped develop during the initial evaluation. Outpatient physical therapy will help you increase your range of motion and strength after surgery. We will also increase your body awareness with balance and proprioception activities. Your body needs time to learn that your prosthetic joint may perform as well as or better than your biological joint did before surgery. Recent research shows we should utilize functional electrical stimulation to assist with this learning process. FES can be used to reestablish the brain/body connection to make muscles fire or to assist with muscle strengthening. Research shows most total knee and hip replacement surgeries work well. We know replacement joints can last 20 years or more. It should be expected that you may resume activities performed before surgery such as walking, swimming, golf, and riding a bike. Your doctor may prohibit high impact activities such as running and jumping. Studies indicate most patients are happy with the results of their procedure. Dr. Jeremy McVay is the owner and director of McVay Physical Therapy. Dr. McVay is board certified and has taken special topic courses in the spine, foot and ankle, shoulder and aquatics. He has lectured at Brown for more than 10 years. Cindy Larcher is a graduate of the Physical Therapist Assistant program at CCRI. She is board certified as a licensed PTA. Cindy furthers her knowledge through continuing education courses, including the Sarah Meeks Comprehensive Treatment Strategy for osteoporosis, Parkinson’s and arm injuries.

It opens to a deck and a deep-water dock and sits on 5,376 square feet of land jutting out onto the Barrington River. It has direct views of the harbor and Barrington Yacht Club.
