DIONNE JR. Colt Andrews kindergartener William Massey blasts a water stream from a firehose into High Street with Dreadnaught’s past captain of Engine 4, Scott Illingworth. Future firefighters Kindergarten students from Colt Andrews School got a first-hand look at the life of a firefighter thanks to Dreadnaught’s past captain of Engine 4, Scott Illingworth. The tour, arranged by kindergarten teacher Donna Cheatom, was part of Fire Prevention Week activities. Mr. Illingworth demonstrated the equipment and clothing used by firefighters, and gave the students a chance to work one of the water hoses used to battle a blaze. Before the students returned to school, each received a firefighters’ helmet, making them honorary firefighters for the day. Colt Andrews kindergarteners Lacy Vargas and Aiden Bernardo blast a water stream from a firehose into High Street with Dreadnaught’s past captain of Engine 4, Scott Illingworth. After 15 months of questions, pleas, requests and threats of litigation, those who want boys tennis to be reinstated as a varsity sport at Mt. Hope High School received some unwelcome news Tuesday — what Bristol Warren Regional School Committee Chairman Paul Silva called his final words on the matter. “Going forward, boys’ tennis will be operated as a JV or club program at Mt. Hope High School,” Mr. Silva said. The debate began before last year’s spring athletic season when Mt. Hope Athletic Director Christie Belisle recommended elevating the boys volleyball club to varsity status, making it part of the Rhode Island Interscholastic League. But to adhere to Title IX — a federal law that mandates, in part, that schools provide an equal number of athletic opportunities for girls as they do for boys — the inclusion of boys volleyball would preclude another boys team from Rhode Island Interscholastic League participation. Basing their decision on a lack of interest in boys tennis and difficulty sustaining the program over a number of years, school administrators decided to make boys tennis a club sport, a decision that has drawn the ire of vocal opponents Judy Squires, Rhonda Fortin, Susan Contente and Tracy McGee, all of whom have been or have children involved in the program.

[email protected] After a slight delay in delivery, Bristol Harbormaster Gregg Marsili and Town Administrator Tony Teixeira finally took the town’s new harbor patrol boat for its maiden voyage on Thursday, Oct. 9. They launched the 25-foot aluminum hull vessel from the State Street dock before tying it off alongside the department’s pump out boat at the Church Street dock, where it will remain in service. “We needed this very much,” said Mr. Teixeira, after taking the short run through the harbor. The 25-foot boat, built by Louisiana-based Metal Shark Boats, replaces the town’s 28-foot patrol boat that had become too costly to repair over the years. That boat is being offered for sale on a government auction website. Preserve Bristol’s open space, shoreline and historic character.

School art project ‘helps in two ways’ Students learn ceramics, create ‘Bowls for Hunger’ BY PATRICK LUCE [email protected] A group of third-grade students spent an hour last Friday rolling and manipulating clay and fashioning swirly designs to decorate the outside of their clay bowls. But these aren’t just any bowls. Not only can they be used to hold food, they’ll help provide food for hundreds of hungry local residents. Funded by a grant fromthe Bristol Warren Education Foundation, the “Bowls for Hunger” program at Colt Andrews Elementary School gives students and teachers alike the chance to create art that will not only beautify, but directly help the community. All students in the school — and many of the teachers — are creating a unique clay bowl that will be sold for $5 at a school fair to raise money for the East Bay Food Pantry. “It’s gong to be really fun and raise money at the same time,” said Seren Davis, 8. “It makes me feel happy and part of the community.” David Grady, a 9-year-old third grader, added legs to the bottom of his clay bowl “so it’ll stay dry if it rains … unless there’s a flood.” The bowls created by Lynn • Consultant for Brown University Institute for Community Health Promotion • Educator in Bristol for 33 Years CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITY • Voices & Visions for Bristol Participant/Facilitator • Founding Board Member and Chair of Habitat for Humanity East Bay • Save Bristol Harbor Board Member, Officer and on the frontline opposing LNG Transport • Bristol Warren Education Foundation Former Advisor to the Board • Committee to Study School Regionalization AWARDS • Bristol Warren Teacher of the Year • Rhode Island AHPERD Teacher of the Year • Governor’s Award for Wellness Innovation PROVEN COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY Abby Bratsos meticulously rolls clay in her hands to make a band for her bowl.

Beginning next week, students will glaze their bowls to get ready for a fair at the school on Nov. 10, where the bowls will be available for $5. Students can reserve their own bowls ahead of time for the same $5 donation. “Can you imagine how many people will get to eat because we’re doing this?” Lynn Ramos asked her class, adding to the children’s amazement that just one bowl can translate into 85 boxes of macaroni and cheese. “It’s fun for kids and great for people … it helps in two ways,” Kimberly Rebelo, 9, said. “It makes me happy that people who don’t have enough food will have more because we’re doing this,” added Abby Bratsos, 9.

But when the sump pumps are connected to town sewer lines, said Jose DaSilva, the town’s water pollution control department superintendent, the treatment plant’s capacity is exceeded, causing untreated sewage to overflow onto the streets and into the Bristol Harbor and the Kickemuit River. “Everything is hydraulically designed for steady flow,” Mr. DaSilva said of the system’s capabilities. “When it rains, and water is pumped from houses into the system, there’s too much flow.” After the Department of Environmental Management cited the town for spewing thousands of gallons of untreated waste into the environment, Bristol conducted a flow study to determine where some of the trouble spots are in Bristol in an effort to devise a solution to the problem. In areas such as neighborhoods off Annawamscutt Road, the soil is densely packed, preventing water from being absorbed into the ground. To alleviate the problem, a separate runoff line was installed underground that homeowners can tie their sump pumps into, rather than directing the outflow into the sewer line. Now the town needs homeowner cooperation to utilize the pilot solution. Because it is illegal for homeowners to connect a sump pump to the sewer line, those who do could face fines. In the neighborhood of Annawamscutt Road, Sefton Drive, Basswood Drive and Leahy Drive, homeowners are being offered a monetary incentive to connect to the runoff line so the town can complete its flow study in Spring 2015. “Until Nov. 30, homeowners can get $1,000 to put toward the cost to tie in,” said Mr. DaSilva. After Nov. 30, they will only be eligible to receive $500. The offer has been in place for the 90-plus homes in the targeted area since June with very little response, Mr. DaSilva said. In order to comply with the mandate to eliminate sewer tie-ins, homeowners who continue to connect to the municipal sewer lines will face fines. Inadmissible discharges into the sewer system include storm water, ground water, roof drains, yard drainage, sump pump discharges, cooking grease, fats and oils.

While battling the incurable disease, Ms. Cordeiro found comfort in family friends and community resources like the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Foundation, which built a Garden of Hope in her backyard to provide solace and comfort during the fight for her life. While breast cancer ultimately took Ms. Cordeiro’s life, she is leaving a legacy of hope behind. On Oct. 24 — Ms. Cordeiro’s birthday — Gloria Gemma and the Bristol Department of Parks & Recreation will dedicate a community Garden of Hope outside the Quinta-Gamelin Community Center on Asylum Road. “It was really a win-win. We wanted to beautify the front of the building anyway, and this gave us the chance to do it in a real meaningful way,” said Parks & Recreation Director Walter Burke. “She had a garden in her yard, and Laurie wanted to do a municipal garden for all women suffering from this terrible disease.” Ms. Cordeiro, herself, picked out the spot for the garden, in front of the department’s new headquarters. While driving around town looking for a suitable spot, Ms. Cordeiro told Mr. Burke the front of the center was the spot. “This is where the garden has to go,” Mr. Burke recalled Ms. Cordeiro saying. Ms. Cordeiro joined other community members and representatives from Gloria Gemma in raising money to build the garden. In addition to private donations, a “Rock in Pink” benefit concert at Bristol Town Beach A garden of hope will be dedicated Oct. 24 in front of the Quinta-Gamelin Center. A water feature and decorative climbing plant wall are expected to be installed soon. last year raised much of the funds needed for the garden, which was designed by Roger Williams University students, who will be selling T-shirts at the dedication to raise more funds for the project. The students in the university’s Freedom by Design group created a garden of hydrangeas, rhododendrons, sea grass and juniper surrounding a dogwood tree dedicated to Laurie Cordeiro.

Running through the garden is a concrete and pink coral path in the shape of the ubiquitous pink ribbon used as a symbol of breast cancer aware- ness and prevention. “We wanted to create a peaceful, hugging feeling,” Clayton Daher, director of Freedom by Design, said of instructions to students working on design options. “Almost everyone included the ribbon in some way. The light pink adds to the memorial and also the simplicity of it. You don’t realize it’s the ribbon until you’re walking through.” While the predominant color is pink, the students added plants that will stay green year-round “so it’s not a barren, empty area in winter,” Mr. Daher said, adding that Roger Williams students have committed to continuing to maintain the garden. The garden — designed by students and constructed by Daponte’s Landscaping Services — will be dedicated during a ceremony Friday, Oct. 24 at noon, honoring Ms. Cordeiro’s birthday and October as Breast Cancer Awareness month. The Gloria Gemma pink bus is expected, along with a host of community members and leaders, to dedicate the “beautiful, peaceful municipal garden designed for support, reflection and meditation,” according to a release. “This garden is a message to all women and families in Bristol, the East Bay and throughout Rhode Island that they are loved and supported by their community.” Page 6 Bristol Phoenix October 16, 2014 POLICE REPORT Bristol Police: Domestic strangulation, lost animals The Bristol Police Department responded to the following calls between Oct. 6 and Oct. 12: Monday, Oct. 6 Richard Pacheco, 48, of 4 Dixon Ave., Bristol, was arrested on a 6th District Court Bench warrant.

Bristol, Warren fire departments collect blood in the line of duty BY ERIC DICKERVI T Z [email protected] It was a blood battle on Saturday, Oct. 4, pitting the volunteer fire departments from Bristol and Warren against each other. But the battle was for a good cause, and the results would help countless people in times of life or death. This year’s bragging rights for the annual Bristol vs. Warren Fire Department Blood Drive went to Warren, whose department tallied 35 pints of blood. The Bristol Fire Department collected 29 pints. The annual competition was started by Assistant Fire Chief Jim Vieira after a family member was in need of blood due to a health condition. Mr. Vieira, who before that time was not a blood donor, recognized the importance of helping the Rhode Island Blood Center keep a constant supply of blood on hand. After becoming a regular donor, Mr. Vieira saw a similar blood drive competition between the Middletown and Portsmouth Fire Departments and challenged Warren to do the same. “It comes down to you help a lot of people,” Mr. Vieira said. “It ended up becoming one of the biggest blood drives.” While the traveling plaque that goes to the winner will remain in Warren for the year, the honor is in helping those in need. “What this equates to is that donors save 192 lives (due to) an illness or traumatic injury,” Mr. Vieira said. Anyone wanting to donate and help their respective town’s tally can still do so. The competition will remain ongoing until 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10. Donors can give blood at any collection center, using donor code 3013 to boost Warren Fire Department’s pints, or 3006 to help Bristol Fire Department overtake Warren. Bristol Phoenix October 16, 2014 Page 7 The Ursini family welcomes Greg Ursini back home at T.F. Green Airport Monday night. Tears flow as hero returns Bristol resident, retired Bristol officer, home after overseas stint BY MANUEL C. “MANNY CORRE IA Special to the Phoenix As homecomings go, Bristol’s Gregory Ursini’s was as good as it gets. Mr. Ursini, 52, came home to a hero’s welcome Monday night at T.F. Green Airport after serving the past 13 months overseas, including the last 8 months in Afghanistan. Tears of joy flowed freely as his wife, Maria, and children Marissa and Justin grabbed and hugged Mr. Ursini as he arrived home. It was a sight reminiscent of the countless servicemen who have made it back home safe and sound after serving their country. As the clock ticked toward 6:55 p.m., Mr. Ursini’s scheduled arrival time on Southwest Airlines flight 1029 from Baltimore, anticipation in the baggage area of the airport steadily increased. “I can’t stand it,” Maria Ursini kept repeating as she continually checked in on her cellphone to see if her husband had officially landed. “He usually lets me know where he is at any given moment.” The 20 or so family members and friends who had waited patiently since 6 p.m., finally got a glimpse of their hero as he slowly descended down the airport’s escalator. “It was great to see him again,” said good friend Gary Palumbo. “It had been a long time.” Maria Ursini, Bristol Senior Center executive director, was teary-eyed as she grabbed her husband and wouldn’t let go. It was a moment in time that etched in one’s mind forever. “I’m glad my dad is back home,” said Mr. Ursini’s daughter, Marissa. “We really missed him.” Greg Ursini, a retired (2004) lieutenant with the Bristol Police Department, said serving overseas was something he had always wanted to do, especially since he had no previous military experience. “It was quite an experience,” he explained. “You have your ups and downs, but it’s something you never forget. The fast food I sampled wasn’t all that great, either.” Greg said he was happy to finally be back at his Kingswood Road home, where his family and friends returned later Monday night for a small party in his honor. Family friend Olivia Germano gave a toast marking his safe return. “You served our country proudly and with dignity,” she noted. “Thank God you’re back home safe and sound.” Mrs. Ursini was also thrilled to have him back home. “I’m very glad to have Greg back and very proud of him and thankful for his service,” she said. Mr. Ursini, who will now take some much deserved time off to be with his family, said serving his country was an honor and privilege. “I was happy to serve my country,” he noted, “but I’m just glad I’m back home with all these wonderful people who have supported me every step of the way.” WILD CAT OIL CO. 24 Hour Burner Service Available 624-3453 Call for Daily Prices * price subject to change Find more photos at eastbayri.com 24/7 Page 8 Bristol Phoenix October 16, 2014 Records nearly squashed BY TED HAYES [email protected] The pumpkins were huge, and a squash lived up to its name by flattening the state record when gardens on steroids converged on Frerichs Farm Sunday for the annual Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Growers’ annual weigh-off. Lexington, Mass. grower Charles Lieber, who moonlights as a chemistry professor at Harvard University, took the top prize by entering a 1,870-pound pumpkin, the second biggest ever entered in the state and just four pounds shy of the Rhode Island state record. And perennialgrower Joe Jutras of South County entered a squash weighing in at 1,421 pounds, good enough for the Rhode Island record and the second largest squash ever weighed — anywhere. “We had some phenomenal pumpkins,” farm owner David Bristol resident Mike Anthony poses with his giant pumpkin. Frerichs said. This year’s dry summer played no small part in the large crop of pumpkins and squash. The dry summer season allowed growers to precisely regulate their charges’ water intake, leading to a large crop of large entries. Though there are usually one or two really big pumpkins entered per year, Mr. Frerichs said there were a handful or more of behemoths. “It was great,” he said. The weigh-off was originally scheduled for Saturday, but was postponed to Sunday due to rain.

The goal of the FCA is not to replace or serve as substitute for public support of the town’s budget, but instead to enhance the projects, programs and services for all residents in Bristol. Proposals that request funding for direct costs of new initiatives will be given first preference. The grants are given out twice a year. In the spring, the committee approved funding for the following projects: ■ $1,500 to the Front Line Ministry for Freedom to cover costs related to the shipping of care packages to local soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. ■ $2,500 to the Bristol Elks Lodge to support the East Bay Cares program, which provides supplementary assistance to local food pantries and soup kitchens. ■ $2,350 to Bristol Blooms to help launch a project designed to beautify Bristol by hanging flower baskets along Hope Street and in the downtown retail district. ■ $1,850 to Art Night Bristol & Warren to support the program’s expansion to include performing arts as a complement to its visual arts offerings. ■ $2,000 to the Friends of the Bristol Animal Shelter to be applied towards the total cost of 10 tables and 100 chairs for the Human Education Center. ■ $2,265 to the BristolWarren Child Opportunity Zone to support new programming for the Kickermuit Middle School.

Bristol Phoenix October 16, 2014 Page 9 Bristol takes ‘one small step’ for pedestrian safety BY ERIC DICKERVI T Z [email protected] Ever since the Hope Street reconstruction project, said Bristol resident and local business owner Nancy Chace, walking through downtown has become more of a challenge. After a recent encounter near Colt-Andrews School when Ms. Chace had to pull her daughter out of the way of a passing car despite the presence of a crossing guard and other people crossing the road, she and fellow PTO member, Nina Murphy, decided to look into how the town could make pedestrian safety a priority. “Something has changed,” she said. “There’s an increase in speed with the traffic, and less crosswalks. The feeling has changed.” After the women wrote a Letter to the Editor to the Bristol Phoenix, the town’s principal planner, Ed Tanner, reached out to them to discuss their concerns. In Bristol, as in other parts of the state and across the country, the issue of pedestrian safety is a wide concern. “Some people think they’re invincible when they’re in a crosswalk,” Mr. Tanner said. Other times, drivers are distracted and don’t see the person trying to cross. “They (pedestrians) need to be more visible and drivers need to be educated,” Mr. Tanner said. On Friday morning, Mr. Tanner, Ms. Chace, Ms. Murphy and Diane Williamson, the town’s director of community planning, met on the corner of Hope Street and State Street to demonstrate the use of crossing flags, bright orange flags that are available to pedestrians on either side of the crosswalk. Rather than step out into traffic, anyone trying to walk across the street can take a flag and wave it, alerting motorists that someone is trying to cross the street. By state law, motorists are obligated to stop. A similar idea is already in use in towns in South County, Ms. Williamson said. It also aligns with Bristol’s ‘Complete Streets’ initiative, an attempt at making the town’s streets suitable for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians to coexist safely. “We’re getting a working group together to see what we can do to improve safety,” Ms. Williamson said of the initiative. For now, the flag locations at State and Hope Streets will be a test site to monitor usage and effectiveness of the idea. Manny Pasqual was one of the first people to see the flags, and used one to grab the attention of the driver of an oncoming car. The car stopped and Mr. Pasqual walked to the other side where he placed the flag in the holder. “I didn’t want to be hit by a car,” he said when asked what motivated him to use the flag. But the system is far from foolproof, as Ms. Murphy experienced while demonstrating the flag system. As she attempted to cross, with the flag held out in front of her in plain sight, a white colored pick-up truck sped by and the driver yelled something out the window at her as he passed. She acknowledged that there is still the education component that needs to go along with the new idea. “This is one small step for pedestrians to reclaim Hope Street,” she said. If the flag system proves beneficial, Ms. Williamson said she would like to see them in place in other areas on Hope Street, at street intersections on the bike path, and on Metacom Avenue. Nina Murphy uses a flag to help her cross Hope Street at State Street. Opinion Page 10 Bristol Phoenix October 16, 2014 EDITORIAL I Bee poisoning — cause for alarm f indeed reckless pesticide spraying is to blame for the deaths of countless honeybees here, farmers could pay dearly for their carelessness. Beekeepers in Westport and surrounding towns report the sudden loss of entire healthy hives containing many tens of thousands of bees in late summer and early fall. Tests on some of those hives reveal the culprit to be a pesticide commonly used on corn crops. Beekeepers say the bees are drawn to those cornfields in late summer when other blossoms dwindle, then are hit by the spray and carry it home with catastrophic results for the hive. A simple solution, spelled out on the pesticide warning labels, is to spray at dawn or dusk when the bees are less active. Apparently not all heed that warning. They may hope to kill more ‘bad’ bugs by spraying at midday, but this strategy is short-sighted. That’s because almost every farmer and most crops rely to some extent on honeybees for pollination. Some scientists rank honeybee loss right up there with global warming as a threat to agriculture. And honeybees are doing poorly almost everywhere. Bees are being lost by the million to bee mites, ■ WHERE TO WRITE: southern honeybees are Bristol Phoenix, P.O.

COMMENTARY Transit Bond Question – The right route for RI BY LAURIE WHI TE AND ABEL COLLINS ny state with a growing, vibrant economy invariably has one critical component: an efficient, reliable and easily accessible public transit system that gets people where they want to go, when they want to go. Those destinations include workplaces, schools, shopping centers, and doctors and health care facilities, the core of people’s everyday lives. This November, Rhode Island voters can contribute to helping the state improve its economy ? and help the environment as well ? by approving Question #6, the $35 million referendum called the “Mass Transit Hub Infrastructure Bond.” Its funding will leverage federal and private investment to provide the public transit foundation the state needs to boost its future growth and vitality. The “Move RI Forward Coalition,” a partnership of community, business, advocacy and environmental organizations, has come together to support passage of the transit bond. The diverse make-up of this coalition demonstrates how an improved public transit system can serve and benefit every aspect of life in Rhode Island by providing jobs; ensuring residents have access to health care, their jobs and A schools; and provide an enhanced and expanded transportation network that reduces traffic congestion and air pollution. Question #6 is all about the future. The increase of ridership on RIPTA now ranks 7th fastest among large bus agencies in the United States. Nationally and in Rhode Island, a 21st century mass transit system is becoming increasingly important to the economic prosperity of metropolitan areas, particularly among Gen Y and Millenials who are about to dominate the workforce. The outcry about losing our young best and brightest continually resounds in Rhode Island. An Urban Land Institute survey in 2013 found that 63 percent of Gen Y members will probably move within the next five years, and 55 percent prefer areas with public transit options. These places ? in our case, the entire state ? that can attract and retain this generation of workers ? particularly the creative, entrepreneurial workers we want to retain ? will thrive; those that do not will wither. Let’s not wither. Funds from the transit bond will help public transit move away from the current single “hub” model to create a robust system with direct, rapid connections. Improvements are planned throughout the current RIPTA system, and there will be a new intermodal hub at the Providence Amtrak station and upgraded commuter rail service. There are direct health and environment benefits afforded by the transit bond. Rhode Island’s comprehensive new suite of renewable energy legislation is among the most effective in the country, and is reducing greenhouse gas from the electricity sector ? and nationwide the electricity industry is the largest contributor of carbon pollution. But here in Rhode Island (as in the rest of New England), it is the transportation sector that is both the largest contributor to carbon emissions and the fastest growing. With the reduced emissions from an efficient public transit system will come cleaner air and fewer health impacts, especially to the very young and very old on those infamous and too frequent “ozone alert” days. So please help all of Rhode Island move forward by supporting this opportunity for a thriving economy and job growth; improving people’s access to jobs, schools and health care; and helping to make the environment cleaner by taking the right route for current and future generations of transit riders in November: Vote Yes on 6. Laurie White is president of the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce. Abel Collins serves on the executive committee of the Sierra Club of Rhode Island. Bristol Phoenix October 16, 2014 Page 11 CANDIDATE STATEMENTS POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Expand economic development in Bristol A vital issue facing Bristol is the local economy. Economic development brings jobs to our community, expends our tax base, and ultimately stabilizes our taxes. Improving the mix of commercial and residential property brings in necessary tax dollars without an undue burden being placed on the residential property owner. There are several strategies we can employ. First, Bristol needs to continue providing tax incentives that are competitive with neighboring communities. Second, ensure that all Bristol’s boards and departments are business friendly and easy to navigate. Third, continue to promote Bristol as a destination for visitors by “land and sea.” Finally, keep our infrastructure in good shape as over-the-road transportation is the lifeline of small business. Fourth, partner with the private sector to provide innovation. One example is Tinker/Bristol, a manufacturing incubator and marketplace that was originally proposed for our decommissioned schools. The Council decided to keep the schools as an arts center, also an economic generator, but suggested the project look at other space such as the Bristol Industrial Park. Happily, this collaboration is now starting. As a council person I have always supported, and will continue to support, economic initiatives that will benefit the citizens of Bristol. Mary Parella Republican candidate for Bristol Town Council H ALSEY H ERRESHOFF Bristol Town Council School funding critical to ensuring proper education The greatest gift a parent and/or community can give a child is a quality education. A wealth of gratitude to all of our school leaders, administrators, educators, and para-professionals who play an integral role in their school’s community. Daily they inspire, lead by example and motivate our future leaders and community members of tomorrow. This school year marks a milestone with the first implementation of the PARCC assessment. As educators prepare our students for this assessment by teaching to the Common Core State Standards, I believe that we must support their work by ensuring they have all the necessary tools and resources. Although we face many challenges, we must provide proper funding for maintaining our high performing schools and secure the future of our children’s education. Edward P. Stuart Democratic candidate for Bristol Town Council Plenty of options to refine Bristol’s budget Solving Bristol’s budget woes is easier said than done. Every candidate for town council knows, and has stated, that Bristol is in for a troubling financial future if we don’t act now. But what solutions have been offered? I have over 15 years of entrepreneurial experience; the last two or so actually helping local businesses regain their financial footing and increase their revenue. I have the knowl- edge and the background to bring effective, promising solutions to Bristol’s financial concerns. There’s plenty of ways this town’s budget can be refined. Instituting energy efficiencies across the board is an easy start. The school district recently missed a huge opportunity passing up the installation of FREE solar panels on two of their six school buildings. This would have netted a savings of $11,000 per year. That’s money that should not have been so easily dismissed. Energy rates are set to rise 20 percent this year – totaling $75,000 to $100,000 for our schools alone. Do you, as a resident, want those costs simply passed on to you via your taxes? What proactive strategies have been taken? Ethan Tucker Democratic candidate for Bristol Town Council COUNCILMAN HALSEY C. HERRESHOFF BRISTOL NEEDS: 1. Every possible action for more jobs. 2. Support for the many fine businesses here. 3. Training for better job positions. 4. Continued and improved Public Services. 5. Better roads and signage. 6. To hold down taxes. 7. To achieve fair tax payment distribution. 8. An ever better Bristol! A VOTE F O R HA LSEY IS A VOTE F O R AC TIO N Paid for by the Committee to Elect Halsey Herreshoff, treasurer Halsey Herreshoff ‘Those who stand out get things done’ What makes a Town Councilor effective? We’ve seen all types – each with characteristic methods, reactions and staying power. There are notable successes but also occasional failures. Nobody is perfect. Politicians everywhere talk plenty, seek favor toward the next election, and generally try to do good. Those who stand-out actually get things done. For this, innovation, judgment and courage to take a stand are necessary. But that is not enough. Accomplishments accrue from dogged determination and persistent application to push. A good idea, successful communication, proper assignment, and above all pushing and checking mark every success. Vital is mission focus without distraction of seeking credit. And don’t be afraid to admit a mistake; just say you will fix whatever is wrong. The Town Council is a deliberative body unlike the position of Town Administrator which has authority for direct control. How- ever, a Councilor worth his or her salt will sort through ideas and alternatives to select those needs justified by importance or previous neglect. He or she must generally seek collegial support. Having obtained that, the next move is to grasp assignment with responsibility. Then simply follow the age old tenet: DO IT – DO IT RIGHT – DO IT RIGHT, RIGHT AWAY! Halsey C.

But one description that cannot be unsaid is just how “communityoriented” the people of our town really are. Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending the Bristol Fire Department open house. It was there I saw up-close demonstrations of how the men and woman of our Fire Department operate the equipment and put themselves in any number of dangerous situations to keep us safe. The tour ended with a real-life scenario of cutting up a car to rescue a potential driver involved in a motor vehicle accident. Aside from the educational value of the event, it reminded me that in Bristol our Fire Department is all-volunteer. Seeing this sense of community, worthy of great-praise, speaks to how our town’s sense of volun- teerism shows itself in many ways. From town institutions like the Animal Shelter and the 4th-of-July Committee to the many volunteers in various faith-based communities, people’s connection with Bristol remains strong. As a candidate for Town Council, I hope to foster this same sense of community, love of town, and service to local government. Will Sousa Grapentine Republican candidate for Bristol Town Council Approve Question 8 to properly fund schools The working relationship between Bristol and our sister town, Warren, regarding our Bristol/Warren schools has been strained in recent years. The people of Warren feel they don’t have a voice when it comes to how we share our school funding costs. We’ve found that the basis of our cost sharing is flawed – in that it accounts for our annual joint student population from attendance on one single day per school year. On our November 4 ballot we will vote on various statewide questions and one local question. Question 8, if approved, would change the way we apportion our shared cost for funding the schools between Bristol and Warren. The basis from which we figure how we will share the budget would change from the previously mentioned annual per pupil calculation to a more predictable thirteen year rolling average. This is good for Bristol and Warren. This step will make our school costs more predictable year to year so that we can maintain our high quality programs and build a more collaborative relationship with Warren. I urge you to APPROVE question 8. Timothy E. Sweeney Democratic candidate for Bristol Town Council Limit General Assembly’s power My opponent and I disagree about whether a constitutional convention would be good for our state. Rhode Island voters will have the opportunity in November to approve ballot measure #3, to allow a convention to be held. If approved by the voters, the convention will meet, debate the merits of possible changes and reforms, and the changes and reforms they favor will be submitted to the voters. I believe this is a great opportunity to give the people a voice in how our government is structured, reduce the power of the legislature, and restore balance, transparency, and fiscal sanity to our state. Those who oppose a convention, we must assume, either believe that things are going fine in Rhode Island or that the people can’t be trusted. I believe, on the other hand, that we are long overdue for re-consideration of the expansive and unchecked powers of the General Assembly. We need to take away their power to cut special deals like 38 Studios, to force irresponsible development on towns in the name of affordable housing, and to borrow against our children’s futures to such an extent that young people are leaving our state. As your State Senator I would do my best to fix these issues, but no one really expects the General Assembly to give up the power it thrives on. Electing reformers and approving a constitutional convention this November represent our best hope to restore our state and realize the full potential of Rhode Island. Giovanni Cicione Republican candidate for RI State Senate Final week for Candidate Statements We thank the many candidates who have taken the time to express their ideas and share their opinions with voters since we began printing free Candidate Statements in August. The Bristol Phoenix will continue accepting Candidate Statements through the end of this week, for publishing in next week’s newspaper. That will be our final week publishing these statements prior to the General Election. In the following week’s paper (our final issue before the election), we anticipate significant demands on space from both candidate advertising and election-oriented news coverage, and we must reserve as much space as possible for this important content. We appreciate your participation in the democratic process. — Scott Pickering, General Manager POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT CINDY COYNE STATE SENATE Vote November 4th Paid for by Friends of Cindy Coyne treasurer Stephanie Wirth Bristol Phoenix October 16, 2014 Page 13 Race to honor memory of Victoria Sousa RICHARD W. DIONNE JR. Judy Squires holds up John Partington’s — Ms. Squires father — old tennis racquet while speaking to the Bristol Warren school committee about saving the boys tennis team. TENNIS: Will remain a club sport at Mt. Hope From Page 1 comments for the end of Tuesday’s School Committee meeting, he opened the floor to public comment near the beginning, when Ms. McGee used tennis terms to reinforce what she perceives as the school committee’s and administration’s avoidance of providing a clear answer to why the sport was demoted. In the beginning, Ms. McGee said, tennis supporters used a “flat ball” approach, “no force, just a little push in a courteous, respectful request.” “We have tried to no avail to get the answer, ‘Why no tennis?’ We’ve had to slice into the details,” she said. “We have been spinning for 15 months. It seems that choice has taken a back seat to personal agendas.” For Judy Squires, the elimination of tennis as a varsity sport is a personal loss. In 1967, her father, the late John Partington, began the program, and today the high school tennis courts are named in his honor. “The sport has come a long way, but unfortunately the Bristol Warren Regional School District has taken a step backward. You know and I know this is not a Title IX issue. It was an administrator’s decision,” she said. But despite similar pleas from Ms. Contente, former team member Michael Contente and Ms. Fortin to have the school committee override the administration’s decision and reinstate the program to its varsity status, the message was clearly stated by Mr. Silva. He did, however, leave the door open for tennis to someday return to its varsity status. “There have been no backroom deals nor decisions made regarding this issue. There has been nothing hidden from the plain view of the public,” Mr. Silva said. “The onus is on you, the public, the parents and students expressing interest in interscholastic tennis, to initiate something that attracts student interest and promotes boys tennis.” Mr. Silva presented as an example the lacrosse program offered at Kickemuit Middle School, a program started by a group of parents who saw an interest among students to play. In the meantime, Mr. Silva said, Ms. Belisle is taking steps to see if a co-op program can be formed with other school districts, similar to girls hockey, or if the RIIL allows individual competitors to compete at the varsity level. “If we can get a sustainable program,” Superintendent Mario Andrade said, “we’ll bring boys’ tennis back.” On Saturday, Oct. 25, seven years since Victoria Sousa died unexpectedly at the age of 12 from the H1N1 Flu virus, the community will honor her memory in a 5k / 1 mile fun run to raise money for the Victoria Sousa Foundation. In her memory, the foundation continues to provide scholarships to students at St. Philomena’s School in Portsmouth where she was on the school’s soccer, basketball and cross country teams. Victoria played soccer in the Bristol Youth Soccer Association, winning the Rhode Island state championships in 2008. Victoria Sousa Victoria was crowned Little Miss Fourth of July in 2006 and, along with her parents, Cathy and Louis A. Sousa, was a member of the Bristol Yacht Club. The race will take place at Colt State Park with registration starting at 8:15 a.m. The 1-mile fun run will begin at 9:15 a.m., with the 5k race starting at 10 a.m. Race fees are as follows: Before Thursday, Oct. 23 - $27 adult / $17 ages 12 and under. Day of race - $30 adult / $20 ages 12 and under. For more information contact race director, Cathy Sousa at Race Director: Cathy Sousa at 401-474-8306 or e-mail: [email protected].

For the East Bay Commu- nity Development Corporation, Dancing With the East Bay Stars is “a huge endeavor,” said Executive Director Kathy Bazinet, to raise money to help residents there enjoy some of the outings and event trips offered within the community. “Some incomes are so devastatingly low they can’t afford a ticket (to events),” Ms. Bazinet said. “They cannot take advantage of activities outside the community.” The East Bay Stars include Bristol Police Chief Josue Canario, Joe Hozempa, Pattie Farmer, Jen Little and Angela Cabral, “people who were well known in the community,” Ms. Bazinet said. Five area dance studios offered the participants dance lessons to prepare them for the competition when they will be paired up with a professional dance partner from one of the schools. The $40 per person fundraiser will include raffles and a silent auction to help raise money for senior activities. Besides being scored on their dancing prowess, participants can gain points toward the Mirror Ball trophy by having donations made to support them. Those donations can be made on-line at dancingwiththeeastbaystars.eventbrite.co m.”We thought this would be a lot of fun,” Ms. Bazinet said.

Your $5 donation goes to help support the Bristol Animal Shelter. All pets are welcome! 508-336-4006 1590 Fall River Avenue (Rt. 6), Seekonk, MA • ritebitedental.com Bristol’s Charlie Enright and the young crew of Alvimedica set off on their race around the globe last week as the Volvo Ocean Race set sail from Alicante, Spain. This first leg takes the sevenboat fleet of 65-footers 6,487 miles to Cape Town, South Africa. First though, skipper Enright guided Alvimedica to victory in last week’s In-Port Race around Alicante’s harbor. Racing in much tighter quarters than what’s to come, Enright said he was happy to take a conservative approach. “Try to stay out of trouble, that was the aim. We didn’t have the greatest start but we wanted to give ourselves options. The pin end was really favored and we just tried to avoid the clump and give ourselves a chance. We took our times on the maneuvers, tried to keep it simple, and kept on chipping away.” TV commentator Knut Frostad, Volvo Ocean Race CEO and former skipper, observed, “The guys on Alvimedica have probably been the most consistent on the race course so far today, sailing the boat really well. They’re just in their 20s or early 30s, but they’re showing real potential for doing well in the Volvo Ocean Race.” Last week’s action featured warm sunshine, cheering crowds and nice shower, dinner and dry bed waiting back on shore. What started Saturday will be another thing entirely, recalls East Bay sailor Ken Read. “You’re hot, you’re cold. You’re DAVID RAMOS/VOLVO OCEAN RACE Team Alvimedica, with Bristol’s Charlie Enright at the helm, shows its speed en-route to a win in the Alicante in-port race. wet, you’re sweaty. You’re tired and you’re hungry. You don’t get a lot of sleep and conditions aren’t fun,” said Read, three-time competitor in the the Volvo and former America’s Cup sailor. “But you still love it and it draws you back. That’s why you see so many guys doing this race over and over again.” The race will eventually bring the boats here with a Newport stopover scheduled for May. There are lots of ways to follow the fleet. Television: Weekly 30-minute shows on NBC Sports Network and Outside Television. NBCSN will air the programs on weekend late afternoons and Outside Television will cover the race every Monday night at 10:30 p.m. with repeats and extra coverage at OutsideTelevision.com.

Hope football team was overpowered by St. Raphael Academy on Friday, Oct. 10, losing to the Saints 35-7. The Huskies’ offense could only move the ball 85 yards against a strong defense, giving up 50 yards to penalties. Despite the score, the Huskies defense challenged the Saints, with Stephen Riendeau leading the team on tackles with 11, three of them unassisted. Dominic Lombardo also nixed the Saints’ offenses, getting in on 10 tackles, as well as recording the only Mt. Hope sack against the undefeated St. Ray’s Division II-A team. The Huskies will be on the road again this week, traveling to Central High School on Friday, Oct. 17 where they will face the 2-1 Knights. Mt.

Huskies sophomore Brooke McGreevy controls a volley during a match against Central Falls Tuesday. Wins keep Lady Huskies in third place in D-II volleyball BY ERIC DICKERVI T Z [email protected] After the Mt. Hope High School girls’ volleyball team took a solid win over North Smithfield on Friday, Oct. 10, they faced a formidable Central Falls team on Tuesday, Oct. 14, ultimately claiming a 3-2 victory. The 3-0 shutout over the Northmen allowed the Huskies to hold onto their third-place spot in Division II-North, behind top-ranked Tolman, and second place Barrington. The win over Central Falls retained the ranking, but it took the girls the full five games to secure the victory, 25-21, 23-25, 1825, 25-17, 15-12. In their match against North Smithfield, the Huskies took the win in three consecutive games, scoring 25-21, 25-22, and 25-21 to clinch the match, and avenge the 3-0 loss that the Northmen handed the Huskies earlier in the schedule. Several girls achieved a season high performance in the Northmen win, including the personal bests of Lexi Sisson (9 kills and 3 blocks); Rhys Webb (11 kills and 7 digs); Maddie Reis (10 assists); Alexis Franco (4 kills); and Alyssa McGreevy (13 assists).

From Statesboro, Ga., he is a triple threat — a fiery guitarist, a smooth-as-silk vocalist, and a stunning songwriter. In February, he was nominated best male vocalist by the UK’s folk roots mavens, Spiral Earth. He has toured around the world and shared the stage with Taj Mahal, Eddie Reader, Shawn Colvin and Chris Smither, to name but a few. With 20 albums to his name, including his 2013 favorite “New Everything,” Williams is a genre defying guitarist singer/songwriter. It’s roots. It’s acoustic. He walks the line between blues and Americana, but there’s a bit of jazz and rockabilly thrown in for good measure. The San Antonio Light says that Williams is a “fret monster who has to be seen to be believed!” Dirty Linen calls him one of “America’s musical treasures.” The coffeehouse is a family-oriented, handicap-accessible musical venue. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Tickets are $15, students are half price, and children 5 and under are free. Tickets are available at the door or reserve tickets in advance at 253-4813 or 253-7288.

Highway in Swansea, is a natural at what he does. For 27 years, he has run JB Cleaning, a company that cleans everything from windows, carpets and upholstery to construction sites. He has also developed a good reputation for cleaning out houses, either buying the contents from an estate, or hauling away the contents – some for disposal and the good stuff for resale at flea markets. Last December, he was asked to take over running an existing flea market where he leased space. With access to all kinds of merchandise from his cleaning business, he fit right in, working with the existing vendors and developing new ones. His Dollar Joe’s Picking Emporium in the huge warehouse area that houses the flea market lets buyers name their own price. Other vendors sharing space with him include those selling records, games, comics, jewelry, antiques and an airbrushing artist. Teddy Ackley of Acktiques in Warren also has spot. “It’s a lot of fun and the ‘weirder the better,’ ” he says of what he and his vendors offer up for sale. The JB Cleaning Flea Market is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m .on Saturdays and Sundays. It is a popular haunt for followers of television shows like Storage Wars and American Pickers. Everyone loves a bargain and it’s anybody’s guess just what kind of a treasure will turn up. Joe also donates space to organizations like the ASPCA for pet adoptions and other groups as well. Unlike most flea markets in the area that close down for the winter, the JB Cleaning Flea Market stays open yearround. “We’re entering our busy season,” he says. Vendors who might wish to rent space in the large warehouse with plenty of parking are invited to talk to Joe. And if you’re looking for someone to clean a premises or clean out a property, Joe is your man. And for those searching for the ultimate shopping adventure, you have hit paydirt! The large flea market warehouse offers a wide variety of vendors and merchandise, the perfect location for anyone searching for the unusual and fun. 2555 G.A.R, Highway, Swansea, MA 508-677-1800 • www.jbcleaninginc.net Rhode Island Companion Services “Helping seniors stay at home where they belong - with dignity” Call for full list of services No minimum Hrs – 24/7 coverage – Respite Care Call for free home evaluation Barrington, RI 401-603-8788 Andrea Barone, Jr. DDS Christopher E.

Coyotes have made themselves at home in this neighborhood BY CHRIST Y NADALIN “I just need people to hear about the very real coyote problem we are dealing with.” [email protected] Marisa Bellis of Bristol will remember one beautiful late summer day in September 2013 as among the worst of her life. That was the day she woke to her mother’s panicked voice telling her that Velcro, her young schnoodle (part schnauzer, part poodle), had been taken by coyotes. Panicked, Marisa and her husband Michael tore out of bed and across the yard to find Velcro running from two coyotes. In just a matter of minutes, the wild predators had done a pretty thorough job ripping the young dog to shreds — in her own backyard. Marisa and Michael were able to get Velcro to the animal hospital in time to save her life, but her injuries were severe, with puncture wounds over 95 percent of her body. A lifelong animal advocate who has worked for the American Humane Association for more than a decade, Marisa was stunned to realize that, in an effort to sync up her her three dogs’ veterinary visits, she had moved Velcro’s appointment back and as a consequence, unwittingly let her rabies coverage lapse. At the time of the attack, Velcro was three weeks late for her rabies vaccine, meaning she had to endure her long recovery in quarantine. Concerned about what she perceived as a spike in coyote activity in her Poppasquash Point neighborhood, Marisa spoke to her neighbors and learned that she was not alone. ■ A few years ago, Katherine Quinn’s 12 year-old westie was attacked and nearly killed with 59 puncture wounds and severe internal bleeding. She sees and hears coyotes all the time — even in the middle of the day — out in the open in her yard. The attack was not witnessed so cannot official- MARISA BELLIS ly go on record as a coyote attack, but Quinn’s veterinarian had no doubt about what sort of animal attacked the westie. ■ Bellis’ neighbor Suzanne Magaziner frequently sees coyotes strolling the neighborhood in the broad daylight, and hears them howling in packs by night. Once she even discovered one loitering by her back door. ■ Another neighbor, Heather Savoie, has not left her dogs alone in her own yard, ever since another neighbor lost her dog two years ago. “It’s very scary,” she says. And the problem is just getting bigger: a few weeks ago, Savoie saw a mother coyote with as many as 8 cubs jump a stone wall across the street. ■ A couple of years ago, neighbor Pam Lenehan witnessed her older yellow lab, and her daughter’s two younger black and yellow labs, get chased home by a pack of 5 coyotes. The older dog was bitten; and efforts to chase the coyotes away were unsuccessful. Those few examples are echoed by resident up and down Poppasquash road, making one thing clear: it would be a mistake to assume Bristol does not have a coyote problem, just because they are not sitting on the steps of the town hall. Looking to learn more about how to address the problem, Bellis contacted Bristol Animal Control, the R.I. State Vetrinary Office, the Department of Environmental Management, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife. He research eventually led her to Dr. Numi Mitchell and the Narragansett Bay Coyote Study. They have a website, coyotesmarts.org that outlines the best ways to encourage a natural reduction in coyote populations. According to Mitchell’s years of research into this issue, primarily on Aquideck and Conanicut islands, the number one factor impacting the coyote population is the abundance (or lack) of food resources. According to coyotesmarts.org, “fat coyotes are fertile coyotes.” Last Wednesday, Oct. 8, Bellis and Mitchell addressed the Bristol Town Council in an effort to increase awareness and encourage strengthening of existing regulations against providing food subsidies to coyotes (which incidentally also applies to other opportunistic, rabies vector species like raccoons, skunks, and rats.) “Less food available to coyotes naturally reduces the number of breeding coyotes,” Mitchell said. “We don’t have to do it for them, we just have to manage food resources.” Gina Ferrell, representing Pawswatch, which successfully manages Bristol’s feral cat population, spoke as well. She was accompanied by several passionate and vocal volunteers, all of whom are con- cerned that tightened regulation aimed at reducing food available to coyotes will effectively ban the feeding of Bristol’s feral cat population. Ferrell pointed out that in Bristol, unlike on Aquideck Island, there are no feral cat colonies adjacent to coyote populations (and none within a 5-mile radius of Poppasquash,) so any issue in that neighborhood is more likely due to other attractants, like animal carcasses or trash left in adjacent Colt Park. Ferrell expressed the hope that any tightened legislation would exempt the feeding of feral cats. Mitchell agreed that Pawswatch has done a terrific job trapping and neutering Bristol’s feral cat population. “There is a misconception that we want to ban can feeding, and that is not the case. We want to reduce attractants to coyotes by feeding in a way that is inaccessible to coyotes, and does not bait cats to then become preyed on by coyotes,” she said. “This does not need to be a contentious issue.” Bellis agreed. “I love cats, I work with cats, and I would never advocate starving cats,” she said. “I just need people to hear about the very real coyote problem we are dealing with, and get information out there so everyone knows what the best management practices are.” A working group is being put together to further discuss the issue and, hopefully, agree on some mutually acceptable steps to take. It can’t come soon enough for the residents of Poppasquash, like Pam Lenehan, who saw three labs pursued to her door by a coyote pack. “The five coyotes stood ten feet from our house and just stared at us,” she said. “It was scary enough when it was our dog. We now have five grandchildren who play outside. What would the coyotes do to them?” Page B2 East Bay Life October 15-16, 2014 POLI-TICKS I A tale of two women know that I should not, but the fact is, I hold women in politics to a higher standard. It’s not exactly that we have a surfeit of them, so that’s probably why I want the ones who are in public office to be role models for young women. Two women in my Arlene view recently VIOLET represented the best and worst in politics. The worst: Mayor Lisa Baldelli Hunt (DWoonsocket). I had a lot of hope that Mayor Baldelli-Hunt would be an excellent mayor. Her career in the legislature was largely propeople although a couple of votes did have me blink. I was extremely disappointed when she recently began to look like she was smoking cigars in the proverbial smoke-filled back room with the boys. The Mayor and a sitting legislator, who is currently serving as town solicitor, jettisoned a former representative from the position of assistant town prosecutor. She then hired the brother of another sitting legislator to replace the prosecutor after following the advice of House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello. Nowhere in the discussion of whom would serve as the public’s prosecutor was the public interest even gauged. In the words of candidate Sharon Gamba, who is running in North Kingstown for state representative, the selection was all about what Smith Hill wanted and political paybacks and rewards. The best: Candidate Sharon Gamba (RNorth Kingstown). Ms. Gamba has called for an end to the practice of elected state legislators being employed as town solicitors and municipal judges.

Granted, she is running against a democratic incumbent, Robert Craven, who currently holds down positions as assistant town solicitor in North Kingstown, probate judge, prosecutor, and solicitor for the Charlestown Zoning Board, and assistant Town Solicitor for East Providence. A look at the roster of legislators who are in these positions elsewhere in the state is a sad commentary that proves her view that this practice is another seedy example of how the system is designed to feed insiders at the expense of taxpayers. During the summer the public was nauseated by the so-called ‘beachgate” of insider dealing (what, by the way, is the outcome of the investigation?) GoLocalProv recently listed a bevy of legislators who are “selected” to represent clients before such bodies as the Department of Labor and Training with the taxpayers picking up the tab for the services. To date nobody has done a study to examine what the accretions of these jobs do or don’t do to public pensions and health care benefits. One thing, however, is certain: being in public office as a lawyer appears to be the gift that keeps on giving. District 32 candidate Sharon Gamba has pledged that, if she is elected, she will submit legislation to eliminate the practice of these municipal appointments. She anticipates a fierce legislative battle to end the favor factory and undoubtedly, she is again correct. Parenthetically, it is laughable to see the insiders who gave us these self-serving deals mobilize against a Constitutional Convention, which would be the last hope to curb these appointments. If the reader believes any of the prophecies of doom by the naysayers, then a few heads ought to be examined. A Constitutional Convention is needed now — as this most recent example of a debacle proves. Select Merchandise! CORRECTION Your Last Diet!!!

East Bay Life October 15-16, 2014 Page B3 DOWN TO EARTH When the cold sets in, there’s not much room at the inn W hat was it I said about bringing fewer plants back inside for the winter? I seem to have lost my resolve. Weeks ago, when I was on a tear to be tidy I did throw a couple of plants on the compost. They were real stragKristin glers, too unatGREEN tractively unhealthy to take up precious windowsill space and probably should have been pitched long ago. Nonetheless, I felt virtuous enough to justify deferring decisions about the rest. Now every plant on my deck is like Welcome Back Kotter’s Horshack, with one hand raised to the sky, shouting, “Ooh, ooh, ooh!” and I can’t help but want to pick them all. I remember mentioning an intention to let go of an enormous angel’s trumpet (Brugmansia) that never bloomed. As if to prove me impatient and mean it’s bedecked with buds now. Not only will it be impossible for me to compost the plant but I’ll have to give it a prime spot on my entry porch — the plantry — instead of sending it straight down cellar into the dark where it belongs for the winter. But won’t I feel lucky in a few weeks when its big, dangling, pale-yellow flowers fill the evening with lemony sweetness? Speaking of lemony, it’s high time to find windowsill real estate for citrus plants too. I brought the Key lime (Citrus aurantifolia) inside weeks ago when the night temperatures started to fall into the 50s but I really should offer it to any gardener who turns the thermostat up in the winter instead of layering on sweaters, as I do. Key limes are tropical and would prefer temperatures that hover in the 60s if not 70s. Come to think of it, so would I. Meyer lemon plants (Citrus ? meyeri) can tolerate more cold — into the 40s — but will do their best winter growing and flowering in the 60s at least. They also want plenty of sun.

I’m on the fence about spending another winter with one out of only two entrances (exits) completely blocked by a spiny behemoth. If it hadn’t set fruit and if nurseries offered trade-ins, I’d have downsized already. My gardenia and sweet olive (Osmanthus fragrans) are also beginning to outgrow their welcome. I remember when the gardenia was just a rooted cutting at Logee’s that I added on impulse to a boxful of tiny begonias (now also huge). It was the cutest thing. This winter it will entirely fill our only south-facing window. A small price to pay, I suppose, for dozens of bone-white swirly flowers that scented the backyard all summer long. The sweet olive, which these days stands as tall as a ten-year old, earns its floor space by blooming all winter and not demanding the sunniest window. Both plants would be perfectly happy out in the plantry but I’m holding every inch of space out there not already taken by the brugmansia for my favorite tender perennial salvia, cuphea, plectranthus, and African blue basil plants. I’ll dig and pot them up just before the first hard frost because for now, they’re still busy blooming, feeding the bees, and calling to migrating hummingbirds. In the meantime, I took a bunch of cuttings so one way or another, every shelf and most of the floor, is spoken for. As long as I can get into (and out of ) my indoor garden this winter, I guess I’m pretty OK with that.

The Mediterranean diet is different. It is not a fad diet — it is an overall healthy way of eating that has been thoroughly researched. Based on the eating patterns of people in the Mediterranean region, this eating plan has been shown to Emily DELCONTE decrease risk of heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, strokes, and obesity. It emphasizes a plant based diet with limited use of meat and poultry. It encourages the use of herbs and spices instead of salt to provide flavor to dishes. It promotes regular physical activity. And this eating plan encourages people to eat with friends and family and to enjoy their meals. Here are some of the basic principles: ■ Base every meal on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. This ensures a plant-based diet. ■ Eat poultry, eggs, cheese, and yogurt a few times per week or daily. Aim for low fat dairy products. ■ Eat fish and seafood at least twice weekly. ■ Eat red meat only a few times per month. Limit to a 3 ounce M a r i o ’s Lebanese Syrian Bakery Meat Pies • Spinach Pies • Chourico Pies Maneech • Open Cheese, Meat or Spinach Chourico w/Peppers & Onions ALL PIES $ $ Spinach w/Cheese 1.35- 1.40 Homemade Kebbe Tray . . . .$9.00 Homemade Hummus . . . . . .$2.00 Homemade Taboule Salad $6.00 lb.

Focus on your plants - fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, beans, and legumes - to get a jump start on a healthy eating plan.

He opened Tirrell Realty in 2005, following his success working for others, and built the business to 15 agents, including brother Bill. In 2009, Phil determined technology was essential in the challenging real estate environment, and he Phil Tirrell turned to Weichert Realtor, a successful nationwide franchise with 500 offices and the necessary tools. It was a perfect fit, and Weichert Realtor Tirrell Realty survived the bad times and even managed to grow. With Weichert’s consumer-friendly web site, two national calls centers manned by real people providing immediate response, an excellent agent training program and effective marketing programs, the agency expanded to 25 agents in the last five years, and is now hiring new agents in the improving real estate environment. “We are the only Rhode Island realtor to have call centers that allow immediate response to consumer inquiries about home listings,” says Phil of his success.

Just ask the folks at the Potter League for Animals, who successfully run a dog training center that turns out the most companionable and well behaved dogs in the area and offers many benefits for both dogs and owners. Classes are in a modern, 1,600-square-foot facility where instructors use reward-based methods and positive reinforcement to help you and your pet succeed. While all dogs benefit from training, puppy classes are critical to your dog’s well-being and yours, too. In the first six-week course, your puppy will learn to socialize with other dogs and people while you become knowledgeable in handling typical puppy problems like housetraining, chewing, jumping and nipping. A subsequent course advances your puppy to the next level. After that, the sky’s the limit, and includes basic obedience, small breed obedience, small breed and puppy play groups in a supervised atmosphere, agility classes, and a canine good citizen program. There are also specialty classes that address particular behaviors and classes in loose leash walking, leash reactivity and recall. Potter League Dog Training Center 87 Oliphant Lane, Middletown 401-846-8276 www.potterleague.org East Providence salon is a ‘Ten’ It’s been two years since Melissa Resendes opened her salon on Broadway in East Providence after beginning her career at another salon in East Providence. With her outgoing personality and considerable skill at cuts and hair coloring, waxing and manicures and pedicures, it’s not surprising that so many of her clients joined her in the new establishment. Her secret ingredient for styling and hair repair, “It’s a Ten,” gives her a real edge. Melissa “It’s a miracle,” she says of Resendes the product. Four talented and personable stylists and manicurists have joined her salon since it opened and have helped her grow the business. This hometown gal has other skills as well. Just ask the young soccer players on the East Providence girls’ soccer team, where she is a volunteer coach. A former All State and All New England soccer player herself at East Providence High School, she has played since she was four, and would have pursued a career in the sport if an injury had not sidelined her. “I love soccer” she says, “and it’s been a lifelong dream to have my own salon, so I am lucky to be doing both.” The town is also lucky to have such a talented asset.

Linda, a registered nurse, named the facility for her mentor and nursing school benefactor, a woman known for her unselfish and compassionate care-giving. I could think of no better tribute,” said Linda, “than to name it after Grace Barker.” Today, Linda and John’s daughter, Mary Beth, runs the facility along with her husband, Mark Lescault. In 1998, Mark and Mary Beth opened The Willows, an adjacent facility offering assisted living as well as adult day health services. The past year has seen home care services added through Pinnacle Home Care, a company they co-own with other nursing home owners and administrators. It’s a true family business: Mary Beth and Mark’s local roots run deep, and the business remains family-owned at a time when corporate ownership is increasingly becoming the norm. “We are blessed with staff longevity and are pleased to continue serving this wonderful community,” says Mary Beth. The sense of family is what makes Grace Barker and The Willows unique, agrees Mark, and it is tremendously beneficial for the elders in their care. “It is very comforting for residents to see the same familiar, smiling faces day after day.” Mark also stresses that Grace Barker is the only facility in the area to provide a full continuum of services for the elderly. In addition to short-term rehabilitative care in the nursing center, the adult day health services at The Willows provide a full day of activities for elders who might otherwise be homebound, waiting for a caregiver to return from a day job. “Socialization is the key piece that is often missing in many home-care situa- John Machado and Willows resident Patricia Holt enjoy the breeze from the Kickemuit River. tions,” says Mark. “When it’s not there, it can affect nutrition, mood, and even disrupt sleep patterns. Adult day health members return home in the afternoon after an active, social day, ready to keep to a normal evening’s schedule.” The Willows assisted living residence provides hone-cooked meals, housekeeping services, medication assistance and transportation, as well as occupational, physical and speech therapy. A full slate of events lets residents be as active as they would like, from exercise classes to nature walks to cookouts — or even just a Sunday afternoon watching the big game with friends on the movie screen. A garden on the property. Families who join the Grace Barker nursing center community will find that as things do change, they will be prepared. “We make every effort to avoid surprises,” says Mary Beth. “We know our residents and communicate regularly with their family members. When something changes, we coordinate with the resident or member’s family and medical team to determine what our next steps should be. It’s a level of familiarity and continuity that truly sets us apart.” John Machado still lives on the property. He and his wife established the Grace Barker Nursing Center and named it for her mentor.

Founder Manuel Vales has a long history of gardening since the early 60’s, when he was groundskeeper for Blithewold. The late Blithewold owner, Marjorie Lyon, made Manuel a bequest so he could start his own business, and he did. He named the nursery Redwood, after a seedling he planted from the giant sequoia still growing on the Blithewold grounds. Today, a dedicated knowledgeable team that includes Manuel’s wife, Jacqueline Vales, and their children, are kept very busy with the full-service garden center operation run by manager and part-owner Jacqueline, assistant manager John Whitney, and master gardener and head landscape designer Tony Sousa, as well as the Redwood Landscape and Property Maintenance company, run by Lisa Vales and Moses Camara. Manuel still keeps a watchful eye on things. Redwood Nursery, over the more than 30 years it has been in business, has grown from a small plot of land to more than two acres of exhibit space for landscape size trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and bulbs. It’s a beautiful sight to behold for those driving by on Rt. 6. “If we don’t have it, we’ll find it for a customer,” says Jacqueline of the staff’s customer service attitude and its full range of plants, shrubs and trees. “Fall is definitely the time to plant,” she says, and they are happy to do it for you or advise you on how to do it. The nursery carries a comprehensive lineup of organic products, including loam, compost and fertilizer, as well as Redwood Nursery & Garden Center, Inc. 2664 Grand Army Highway, Swansea 508-379-0081 www.redwoodnursery.com mulches, sod and a unique collection of garden art. They also are distributors of Nantucket Sheds and Playmor swing sets, and specialize in fall decorating materials, like straw, cornstalks, gourds and pumpkins. The Redwood crew has developed a fine reputation in helping customers make the best choices for particular sites. Mark Bergeron works with customers to plan perennial gardens, solve shrub and bush problems and ensure the structure of trees. He is a favorite when it comes to bonsai, seasonal plantings and decorating, with a creative touch for designing and building boxwood wreaths, festive window boxes and planting urns. “Bring him a pot and you’ll be amazed at what he can do with it,” says Jacqueline. Former chemistry teacher Norma McNally likes to research unusual plants for customers and has developed a unique list of plants for late fall and winter interest. “We like to make even the novice gardener successful,” she says of the Redwood customer philosophy. Planning it, planting it, and maintaining it, Redwood Nursery & Garden Center on Route 6 in Swansea is the place to begin. Manager and part owner Jacqueline Vales says that fall is the ideal time to plant, transplant trees and shrubs and seed lawns. Here, she and Mark Bergeron assess the pond area at Redwood.

They don’t sell you a “generator-in-a-box.” They prep it, test it and explain how to properly run it. Owner David Cioe cannot emphasize enough to not be complacent when it comes to protecting your home or business from power outages due to storms, hurricanes, or even electrical company power interruptions. Waiting until a storm is about to hit is a gamble. It takes time to select the proper system for your home/business and to line up the electrician and plumber, if needed. Being proactive is just common sense. And if you already have a generator in place, remember it needs to be maintained every year, just like you would your vehicle. Oil changes, fuel treatments, battery tests are all part of the maintenance that Columbus Fan offers. Not only are they a local source for generators, but Columbus Fan also stocks and sells Manual Transfer Switches, Residential and Commercial Pressure Washers, Sump and Submersible Pumps, Fuel Stabilizers, and many common components needed by homeowners. For industrial businesses, Mr. Cioe’s other company, DC Industrial Sales, at the same location, offers products such as AC and DC Motor sales and repairs, Line Reactors, Transformers, Tachometers and Encoders, just to name a few. And their Machine Shop offers services such as welding, brazing, fabrication, shaft repairs, etc. It is not too early to be investing in a snow blower for the upcoming winter season. Columbus Fan stocks Ariens Snow Throwers, and this is a great time to purchase yours. And remember, many companies sell equipment but they cannot repair it. If a problem occurs, you would need to be authorized by the factory to touch any warranty piece of equipment. Columbus Fan is authorized to service what they sell. “We service what we sell” is the company mantra. Providing sales and service in the local community is a convenience you don’t have with the big box stores. Sourcing parts can be frustrating to homeowners, and Columbus Fan focuses on locating the parts needed quickly so the homeowner can get their device up and running, or complete the necessary repairs. Many units are in stock right at the company’s location. Portable Generators, many DUAL FUEL, are available from 3,000 Watts to 12,500 Watts, along with Manual Transfer Switches. They now also stock Portable Generator “TENTS” for ease of storage. Automatic Generator Systems are available from 8-kw to 20-kw, both propane and natural gas-fueled. Larger units up to 500-kw are also available. Remember, anyone can sell you equipment. But will they stand behind it? Ask if they are authorized to repair it if something goes wrong, or will they end up sending you somewhere else? Columbus Fan & Machine and DC Industrial Sales are located at 59 Baker St. in Warren, RI. You can reach them at 401247-0079. Columbus Fan and Machine Corp. 59 Baker St., Warren 401 247-0079 www.columbusfan.com Columbus Fan offers every kind of generator imaginable — from portable to automatic, standby — and they have the expertise to select the right size for your home, and install it properly.

East Bay Real Estate EASTBAYClassifieds.com October 15-17 , 2014 Page C1 MEET STEVEN CIPOLLA: MAN OF THE SEA, REALTOR AND DEDICATED DAD S teven Cipolla is originally from the West Bay and when his daughter, Lia, was born 16 years ago, he moved to the East Bay and never looked back. He loves being near the water, more importantly, on the water. Several years ago he decided to become a Realtor and it's a decision he is proud of. WHY REAL ESTATE AS A CAREER? "It's like owning your own business without a major capital investment. I love the fact that no two transactions are the same. I tend to get bored very easily, and that never happens in this field. The flexibility of making my own schedule is nice as well." WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE REAL ESTATE? "Training coordinator, yacht delivery, auto sales/repair shop manager. I did the whole corporate thing for years and became complacent and bored. The real estate field is anything but. Every transaction brings new and challenging circumstances and I like that. While choosing to become a Realtor was an important decision in my life, where I chose to be one was equally, if not more important." HAPPY AT WORK: "I chose Exit Harborside Realty. I don't think I could have found a more outstanding group of people to work with. They are professional, genuine, passionate about real estate and the camaraderie is incredible." WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT IT? "The best feeling is the look on someone's face when they first receive the keys to their dream home and knowing you helped make that happen." ANYWHERE BUT RI: If it weren't for the winters up here, I Steve Cipolla Exit Harborside Realty 401-996-9432 would probably live on a boat. Of course it would have to be near the ocean. Bringing boats up and down the East Coast I got to visit many ports, and I'd have to say Charleston, S.C., is my favorite. I don't think there's a town or city on the coast that I haven't been to. The experiences my friend and I had during that time are indescribable. If I ever do figure out a way to describe it, I WILL write a book." BEST FAMILY DAY: "Any day with my daughter Lia." WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO HAVE LUNCH? "During the summer I like Thames Waterfront Grill." VOLUNTEER WORK: "Animal rescue. I rescued a cat from the Warren Animal shelter. His name is Loki." WHERE DO YOU GO TO RELAX? "Actually, driving relaxes me. On a Sunday morn- ing I'll jump in the car and just drive for hours until I end up in some small town I've never been to, have lunch, then drive home." ADVICE TO FIRST TIME BUYERS: "I think the best advice would be to get prequalified for a mortgage, and to call me!" PROFESSIONAL OUTLOOK: "I pride myself with working with a minimal client base. The last thing I want is so many clients that I can't give them my full personal attention. If I'm helping you buy or sell your home, I want to be there for you every step of the way. I refuse to stretch myself too thin. Neither I, nor my clients deserve that." MARKET PREDICTIONS: "I think it's a great time to buy. I think prices will rise, but gradually, and interest rates will probably stay below 5% throughout 2015." The Sign you want.

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.
