Westport Shorelines THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2013 eastbayri.com Costly to-do list faces schools PHOTOS OF RICHARD W. DIONE JR. Mike Duarte, director of maintenance for the town's schools, lifts a section of cracked pavement at the Macomber School parking lot. Roofs, septics and more need replacement BY BRUCE BURDETT [email protected] Middle school PCBs aren't the only problem facing Westport's aging collection of school buildings. Mike Duarte, director of maintenance for the town's school's, recited a litany of maintenancerelated issues when the school committee met recently. Septic systems at the high school, middle school and Macomber are all at least 40 years old and on their last legs. The middle school has not only those PCBs to worry about but also a 24year-old roof that will need replacement and heating system woes — "The poor middle school," Mr. Duarte said later. See SCHOOLS Page 2 Whole sections of the Macomber parking lot are cumbering away. VOL. 19, NO. 49 Dominican family vacation — ducky’s treat They thought about Italy or Greece — “places I’ve always dreamed of going,” says Melissa Krynicki — but then discovered the Dominican Republic. For their Allens Pond Duck Derby dinner for two (in this case three) anywhere on the planet, the Krynicki family of Dartmouth has chosen Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Jim, Melissa and son Alex will go next spring and make a week of it. Last summer, shortly after learning that their duck “Sunny” was the Duck Derby winner, Mr. Krynicki guessed that they might go “to the Mediterranean somewhere,” a place they’d never been. “We looked at a lot of places but thought our son (age 7) might be too young to enjoy it fully,” Ms. Krynicki said last week. “It was a lot of back and forth”, she said. “But then we decided to make it a family vacation and the decision was easier,” — someplace with beaches, swimming and snorkeling. And it’s not so many time zones removed. In the end they relied on the tropical paradise advice of their travel agent. “The pictures look beautiful, very lush,” Ms. Krynicki said. This can’t-go-wrong choice was made possible by Mr. Krynicki’s boss, Neal Van Sloun, owner of Sylvan Nursery where Mr. Krynicki has worked 16 years, now as head of maintenance. Months before, Mr. Van Sloun had purchased a duck apiece for Sylvan employees as a holiday gift. On derby day, Mr. Krynicki was spending vacation time out clearing a trail in woods near his house when the messages on his tele- See DERBY Page 4 Sleigh bells ring...

And there are age issues at Westport Elementary and Macomber schools as well, he said. Macomber's parking lot is crumbling fast and Westport Elementary's roof is 27 years old — lifespan for such a roof is 30 years. Those systems "have reached their limits," Mr. Duarte told the committee. "We are looking for trouble" if the maintenance issues are not tackled soon. Committee member Michael P. Sullivan also expressed concern and asked Mr. Duarte to prepare a priority list of work that needs doing. While it is unlikely that these projects can be squeezed into the schools' $300,000 annual maintenance budget, the time may be at hand to include some of the big ticket items within the town's capital improvement program, he suggested. Community Preserva- Home for the Holidays 2999 $ 29 tion money might also be sought to address some of the problems. "This is a head's up about issues we are going to face before very long," Mr. Duarte said, and "not the sort of things that can be done within our maintenance budget … Septic systems, roofs — that's all bond-worthy stuff." For instance, it cost in the ballpark of $1 million to replace the high school roof several years ago. "That's our biggest roof but it does give you an idea of what's involved." But "it's not all gloom and doom," Mr. Duarte said. "We are open, everything is running, the kids are learning in well-lit classrooms." And "energy-wise we do a very good job." Energy ratings for the four schools "are very close to those of new buildings." That has been accomplished, Mr. Duarte said, with an aggressive program to equip schools with energy efficient lights, keeping boilers at at least 80 percent efficiency, among other things. At Macomber, systems enable him to monitor systems "even room by room." He gets notifications at home if a system is awry and can make adjust- Southern Comfort 1.75L Mionetto Prosecco Brut 8 $ 99 ments remotely. Westport High School and Macomber both have relatively new roofs in excellent condition, and even the older roofs are inspected regularly and patched when need be — "but you can only keep doing that for so long." Septic systems are keeping up for now. "There's nothing flowing out of them, no neighbors complaining of the odor" but that day could come if nothing is done. Maintenance delayed never saves money, Mr. Duarte said. "Patchwork costs time and money and then you still have to do the replacement anyway." Westport High School came in for considerable praise in the recent NEASC assessment, but the visiting evaluation team identified funding for things including facilities as a shortcoming of the town schools. "Instructional materials, supplies, staffing and the school's facilities are not sufficient to fully implement the school's stated curriculum and appropriate range of co-curricular offerings," the report stated. "80 percent of parents believe that funding is not sufficient …" Kris Pinot Grigio 899 $ 750ml 750ml Frontera St. Francis 699 $ Cabernet 1299 $ 1.5L 750ml 2499 $ 1.75L Simi 1.75L Markham Canadian Club 16 $ 1.75L 99 Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc Captain Morgan 2599 699 *On liquor and wine only 750ml $ 597 Metacom Avenue, Bristol, RI • 401-253-2222 Mon - Sat: 9am - 10pm • Sunday: 10am - 6pm Sale good thru December 15, 2013 750ml $ 1.75L NO SALES * TAX 1699 $ Gift Certificates Custom Gift Baskets Available Westport Shorelines December 5, 2013 Page 3 Handy House: Rings may show its age Expert probes tree rings in house's old beams Just how old is the CadmanWhite-Handy House? The Westport Historical Society has enlisted the expertise of Historic Deerfield's architectural conservator William Flynt to answer that very question when he performed a dendrochronology study at the Hix Bridge Road property. Dendrochronology is better known as “tree ring dating.” It is used to narrow down the age of a building through the trees’ rings as well as other variables such as environment and climate. During his recent visit to the Handy House, Mr. Flynt took samples from timber under the floorboards and in the ceilings in all three phases of construction, as well as in the attic. The rings in those samples are then compared to a "master chronology" of previously dated tree rings from the region. While the society is aware that the Handy House was built in three phases over more than a century — starting in what is believed to be 1710 — a vast amount of research on the historic property hasn’t turned up more definitive dates for the additions. By enlisting the help of experts, the group hopes to narrow down the dates of construction to help the Society interpret as well as preserve the interior of the house. The more information gleaned from studies stimulated by the grant will help boost the “visitor experience” when the Handy House opens to the public next year. William Flynt explores beneath old floor boards for the tell-tale tree rings found on old beams. When the house opens its historic doors in the spring, adult and children will be invited to get a first-hand look at the dendrochronology process and check out the Mr. Flynt’s work is associated with a $10,000 National Trust for Historic Preservation grant which the Society will match to conduct research and develop programs to "open windows" into the interior of the house to reveal its evolution. The dendrochronology infor- mation from the Handy House, which will be sent to a central database, will also provide architectural historians like Mr. Flynt more information about southeastern New England properties. Data from the area is sorely lacking, he told the group. Most of the tree ring data collected from Massachusetts has come from historic properties in Boston and the North Shore. Handy House. Lean budget may mean layoffs, pay cuts Firefighter layoffs and deep cuts to the stipends for elected town officials are among the potential impacts of the town's 2015 budget. That "shoestring" budget plan, along with an idea of what it means to town departments, was presented to the Board of Selectmen last week by Westport Business Manager Steve Lombardi. Given revenue limits imposed by Proposition 2 1/2 and the Selectmen's determination to avoid raids on the "free cash" account for operating expenses, the budget contains something "for everyone to dislike," Town Administrator Jack Healey remarked, adding that the belt tightening cannot be avoided. Selectmen Chairman Antone Vieira agreed, calling it a realistic, if difficult, plan. Town departments had already been put on notice that this budget has no room for new hiring or expenditures. Salaries of all part-time elected officials will be capped at $100 under the 2015 budget, a move that Mr. Lombard said will save Westport about $65,000. If approved as is, the budget would likely mean the layoffs of two firefighters. The two had been hired under a federal Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response WESTPORT SHORELINES (USPS #021-729) 1 Bradford St, Bristol 245-6000 • 253-6055 (fax) Mailing address: P.O. Box 90, Bristol, RI 02809 Published continuously since 1995. While Selectmen may opt to change the budget, Mr. Lombard noted that any line item that is increased must be matched by a cut somewhere else. To do otherwise would risk exceeding the Proposition 2 1/2% cap on the amount that property taxes may be raised from budget year to year. Westport has about $750,000 in its "free cash" reserve account, Mr. Lombard told the Selectmen, of which he proposed using $500,000 for capital improvements and the balance for emergencies. He again urged Selectmen to stand by their pledge to avoid spending any of that money for routine operating expenses.

Fire Chief Brian Legendre has said he will apply for a renewal of that grant (overseen by FEMA) next spring in hopes of keeping the positions. Complicating the picture are several unknowns. Westport has not yet been notified about the level of state aid it can expect for that budget cycle. And there is the usual uncertainty about snow removal. The town typically budgets $70,000 to pay for overtime, private contractors, salt and other storm-related costs, a figure that it usually overspends on the order of about threefold.

He next called his wife Melissa who was at a birthday party with their their son. “Her reaction was the same as mine. Wow!” When they go, the family plans to take Sunny (named by Alex) along for photos. The odds against Sunny were greater than ever in this, Allen Pond’s tenth annual Duck Derby. Jennifer Costa of the wildlife sanctuary said that this year’s anniversary was a record breaker with 5,866 yellow rubber ducks competing in the sanctuary’s biggest annual fundraiser. The event earned over $50,000 for the Allens Pond Wildlife San ctuary. Ms. Costa said that last summer’s experience shows that ducks can make great holiday gifts.

Westport Shorelines December 5, 2013 Page 5 Middle School puts spotlight on diabetes BY TRACY PEREIRA School nurse leader National Diabetes Month, observed each year in November, is a time for communities across the country and the world to shine a spotlight on diabetes and encourage action to change the way diabetes is treated. If left undiagnosed or untreated, diabetes can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, blindness, kidney disease, stroke, amputation and even death. With early diagnosis and treatment, people with diabetes may prevent the development of these health problems. Westport Middle School nurse Diane DaPonte is passionate about supporting all of her students, especially those with diabetes. “I wanted to acknowledge Diabetes Awareness Month because the prevalence of diabetes is so much greater than what most people probably realize.” Nearly 26 million people in the U.S. have diabetes. Another 79 million have pre-diabetes. Diabetes is not something that impacts those affected occasionally. It is something they live with 24/7 and 365 days a year. “It is my hope that our awareness day will get students and staff to understand the challenges that those with the disease face, and also evaluate their own lifestyles and potential for developing Type 2 diabetes.” “I think [Diabetes] Awareness month is a good thing and I’m happy we are doing it,” said Dylan Karl, MILITARY EXPENDITURES FAR OUTSTRIP ANNUAL COST OF ENTITLEMENTS In 2012, U.S. spent more on its military — $682 billion—than the next 10 largest countries combined. In addition, Aghanistan and Iraq Wars will cost more than $4 trillion when the long-term cost of medical care for injured veterans is included. SAKONNET PEACE ALLIANCE an alternate voice to the terrible and costly logic of war HOLIDAY SP ECIAL 275 FOR ONE Y EA $ Middle School nurse Diane DaPone with sixth grader Dylan Karl. a sixth grader at Westport Middle School who has diabetes. “The most annoying thing is when someone looks at what I’m eating and says, ‘You can’t have that sugar, you’re diabetic.’ I think people need to know that we are just like everyone else and can have sugar too.” Seventh graders will learn about diabetes at an assembly this month with a presentation by a communi- ty educator form the Diabetes Association Inc. out of Fall River. In addition Westport Middle School recognized National Diabetes Month by encouraging students to purchase blue awareness ribbon stickers for $1. Many also wore blue on Friday, Nov. 15, as part of a grade level contest. All proceeds will go to the American Diabetes Association.

The parish priest said he banned the CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) teams from further practice there because he seldom sees their coaches or many of the players at Mass. He said the teams also create considerable work for the church because chairs and tables must be set up and taken down often to make way for bingo. “The purpose of this basketball should be to bring the children closer to their church … but that doesn’t seem to be happening. It doesn’t bear fruit for the faith,” he said. But by giving hoops the heave-ho, he loses any hope he might have had of drawing these young people into the fold. Maybe they weren’t all at Mass (here anyway), but at least they were coming to Our Lady of Grace Church. While there they were doing good things — getting exercise, learning about helping teammates, making friends … And their presence was an opportunity for this church.

Years ago, those who built a basketball court in the parish house must have realized this. Thanks to them, the church now has a facility that young people need yet some would rather it be used for bingo. Now would seem a golden teaching moment — about compromise, forgiveness, welcome. These children need a place to practice. It’s not too late to work this out. WESTPORT SHORELINES Established in 1993 Matthew Hayes, Publisher Bruce Burdett, Editor R. S.

DIONNE JR. Patricia Woods, chairwoman of the Bristol Art Museum board of directors, shows off the museum’s newly-renovated home. BY CHRISTINE O’CONNOR [email protected] A fter 50 years of borrowing space to host art shows, the Bristol Art Museum is celebrating the opening of its new home — the 1867 carriage house at Linden Place. “The commitment and perseverance by a team of architects, builders, project engineer, project supervisor and board members contributed to the project to convert a historic building into a beautiful home for the arts and for the residents of the Town of Bristol and the East Bay region to enjoy, “ said Patricia Woods, chairwoman of the Bristol Art Museum board of directors. The museum, founded by Jill Pardee, Margaret Nerone and Susan Perry, opened on Bristol Art Museum June 14, 1963.

The museum sponsored nine exhibits each year, between June and October, and attracted major artists such as Ansel Adams, Frank Benson, Robert Motherwell, Maxfield Parish, Norman Rockwell and local artist Richard Grosvenor. The museum has also hosted exhibits at the Rogers Free Library over the years. The cost to renovate the barn nearly exceeded $1 million, and was funded in part by a grant from the Champlin Foundation and donations from the general public. John Lusk and Greg Speiss were the project architects. “The design (of the museum) creates a space for artists and the public to come together to appreciate art and enjoy a cultural An architect’s rendering of the new Bristol Art Museum, on the Linden Place campus. experience,” Ms. Woods said. The new space features five rental studios for artists, three of which are currently available; classrooms and a lecture hall. The firstfloor gallery room will be open for art and gallery talks, as well as special events. “The main gallery is alive with natural light from the windows, the maple floors enhance the interior space, and the preserved arched glass windows over the doors reminds us of the building’s past history for us to enjoy in the future,” she said. The Bristol Art Museum was initially slated for a grand opening this past summer, but delays pushed the opening back to this weekend. There will be a private reception for members and donors on Saturday, followed by an open house for the public from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 8. Then the museum will be open for tours and viewing of the art exhibit from 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday to Sunday through Dec. 29. Admission is $2 for non-members. Works of art by sculptor John Udvardy of Bristol and oil paintings by Penelope Manzella of Barrington will be on display all month. Art exhibits already scheduled for 2014 include “Recent Work,” Feb 28 to April 13; “Call to Rhode Island Artists,” May 2 to July 6; John Udvardy and Lasse Antonsen, July 18 to Aug. 31; and “Objects for Work, Objects for Play and Objects to Cherish,” Sept. 12 to Oct. 19.

He trained at the Cleveland Institute of Art and received an MFA from Yale University.

Mayor Daniel McKee of Cumberland has tossed his proverbial hat in the ring; the other contender is former North Arlene Providence VIOLET Mayor and present Secretary of State, Ralph Mollis. The nod for the democratic standard bearer for this position should be a nobrainer, but isn’t. Here’s why. Daniel McKee has a long record of accomplishment to show for his six terms as Mayor. He consolidated the four independent fire districts in Cumberland, and led the charge to create a joint municipal group health insurance program that saved taxpayers millions of dollars in the ensuing 5 years. His greatest accomplishment is probably the establishment of a mayoral academy in the Blackstone Valley. He had a tough fight on his hands reshaping how a charter school should operate. Approximately two-thirds of the students are low-income, and half are black or Latino. Upon entering the school, 5th graders lagged behind their peers in the public school. After two years, test scores soared and the school received a “Commended” ranking, which is reserved for about the top 10 percent of schools in Rhode Island. Therein, unfortunately, is the rub for Mayor McKee’s statewide office prospects. He encountered opposition from the American Federation of Teachers and the AFL-CIO, which testified against the legislation to establish mayoral academies with flexibility for curriculum and staffing. After a bruising battle, the Mayor succeeded in establishing the school and it has excelled academically. Despite an obvious success in what should be a shared goal of educating students, Mr. McKee may very well face backlash from union members in a primary. By contrast, during his tenure, Mayor Ralph Mollis was a darling to the unions. One needs only to view Tim White’s investigative piece on WPRI on the hiring of a 52-year old firefighter. The man missed almost 50 percent of work due to alleged disabilities of one sort or another. Under the union contract sanctioned by Mollis, not only was he able to join the See VIOLET Page 3 Page B2 East Bay Life December 4-5, 2013 Newport Skating Center opening for the season The Newport Skating Center’s Grand Opening and 33rd Annual Tree Lighting will be held from 5-9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6.

Learn playwriting from the best Are you a high school student with an interest in writing and producing plays? If so, Trinity Rep and the Providence Public Library are teaming up to provide an exciting opportunity for local students. This new creative collaboration called “TRRPL PLAY!” has been developed for high school students looking for theater performance opportunities, as well as exploring literature and playwriting. Working alongside Trinity Rep’s professional theater instructors, students will adapt a young adult novel into a fullystaged traveling performance that will then tour local libraries, culminating in a show at the Rhode Island State House and a meeting with the author of the original novel. The group will then tour the production to libraries around Rhode Island. “Students in TRPPL Play will be their own adaptors, playwrights and directors,” said Trinity Rep education programs manager Jordan Butterfield. “Through this program, they will analyze text like never before, and bring characters to life onstage.” “TRPPL PLAY!” will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. Mondays, from February 3 through June 9. Sessions will be held at the Providence Public Library, 150 Empire Street in downtown Providence. Tuition is $250 and registration is currently open. Contact [email protected] to register. East Bay Life December 4-5, 2013 Page B3 NO FLUKE I ‘Inland Fishes of RI’; Fish & Wildlife hatcheries in trouble f you want to know all about inland fish species and their habitats then the new RI Department of Environmental Management guide “Inland Fishes of Rhode Island” is for you. At $26.75 it makes the perfect gift for anglers and nature enthusiasts. The book, written by biologist Alan D. Libby and illustrated Capt. Dave by Robert Jon MONTI Golder, is the first of its kind for local freshwater fish species. At 287 pages, it contains descriptions and illustrations of each species of fish found in Rhode Island’s fresh waters, information collected during surveys conducted by DEM’s Division of Fish and Wildlife from 1993 to 2012. Detailed characteristics used to identify each species are presented, as well as habitat descriptions, life history information, and distribution maps. Scientific illustrations of each fish in color and black and white aid with identification. “Inland Fishes of Rhode Island” will be of interest to saltwater anglers too, as 30 of the 72 fish species in the book spend a portion of their lives in both fresh and saltwater. The most diversity was found in the Pawcatuck River, which boasted 67 species, followed by the Blackstone River basin, which had 31 species. The Pawcatuck River’s greater diversity is the result of it having fewer dams to obstruct the movement of fish in and out of the river. “Inland Fishes of Rhode Island” may be purchased in person at the DEM Office of Boat Registration and Licensing in Providence by cash, check or credit card (credit card requires an extra fee) and at the Division of Fish and Wildlife Field Headquarters in West Kingston, by check or money order only. The book may also be purchased through the mail using the order form located at http://www.dem.ri.gov/programs/bnatres/fishwild/inlandfishes.htm. problems associated with sustaining operation of the National Fish Hatchery System (NFHS) in its current configuration, and suggests possible changes to how the system could be managed under several different scenarios.

Where’s the bite Be a know-it-all: a new book titled “Inland Fishes of Rhode Island,” published by DEM, reviews 72 different fish species and their habitats, of which 30 of the species spend a portion of their lives in both fresh and saltwater. US Fish & Wildlife hatcheries in trouble In a report issued earlier this month, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service warned that “Closures (of national fish hatcheries) may be necessary in FY 2015 given fiscal uncertainly and growing operations costs.” Dan Ashe, service director, said the National Fish Hatchery System: Strategic Hatchery and Workforce Planning Report, “sounds the alarm on a hatchery system unable to meet its mission responsibilities in the current budget climate.” However, the Fish & Wildlife Service is taking measures to ensure hatcheries remain open for the balance of FY 2014. The Workforce Planning Report outlines the current programs and Roger Simpson of the Frances Fleet said, “Wednesday found the sea bass to be aggressive with a full boat limit of the black beauties up to 4 pounds, and a few anglers throwing back 20 to 30 keepers apiece after limiting out. Plenty of scup as well…Some nice size green cod to nearly 20 lbs as well with two anglers sharing hi hook honors of 4 nice cod apiece.” Simpson, commenting on the cod bite said, “We strongly recommend that anglers swing for the sky whenever they suspect something is up. There are some nice cod starting to show up but the fish just all too often do not bite (aggressively)… if you are waiting for that big bite from a big cod you may be waiting for a The Tides* Wednesday, Dec. 4 Thursday, Dec. 5 Friday, Dec. 6 Saturday, Dec. 7 Sunday, Dec. 8 Monday, Dec. 9 Tuesday, Dec. 10 Wednesday, Dec. 11 Thursday, Dec. 12 very long time, almost all of the big cod in the 25 to just over 40 lb range I have caught over the years I have felt either a soft slow pull, no bite per se, or the feeling as though my sinker rolled off a rock.” Tautog fishing continues to be strong with fish being caught in deeper water. Bruce Fournier fished with his brother and nephew off Newport on Saturday, reporting that “(We) did very well… including a couple of 8.5 pound fish. All fish were in 80-90 feet of water on green crabs.” John Littlefield of Archie’s Bait & Tackle in East Providence said, “The short to keeper ratio is getting better but the fishing has been on and off. One customer fished the Beavertail area and caught five keepers, the next day he went back and caught all shorts. The same thing is happening in Narragansett Bay at Conimicut Light, the Wharf Tavern and the bridges in Barrington.” Anglers continue to catch striped bass along the coastal shore and in winter holdover spots. Tommy Pelto of Tiverton said, “There’s still some consistent striper action along the south shore. Birds were working and fish were breaking this morning (Saturday).” Dave Pickering, noted local angler and author/lecturer, said anglers are turning their attention to “Places like the CT rivers, the backwater ponds of the south shore in RI and rivers of upper Narragansett Bay. These are the places that will produce all winter long if you want to continue catching stripers. The lures and plugs to use for winter holdovers are not complicated… For the most part, this is a jigging game on light tackle. Work the bottom slowly because that’s where the fish are holding.” Dave Pickering said, “Today (Wednesday), I went out with little expectations of catching anything on this cold day…Well, it turned out to be a decent outing as I landed three commons (carp), all around 10 pounds. I got them all on Pecaviva sweet corn fished ahead of a method ball. All of the fish also came in the early afternoon sun when things had warmed up a bit.” Visit Dave’s blog at www.ricarpfishing.blogspot.com .

That’s precisely what he did a couple of days after filling in once as a Lieutenant. He apparently reinjured himself picking up a small bag, so his pension is tax-free. The entire fire department is under a cloud. The fire chief retired with a severance package that included $104,000 in socalled unused sick and vacation days. He had to return more than $50,000 based on a subsequent review by the Mayor Lombardi administration, since he was not entitled to the money he claimed. A battalion chief also paid himself overtime for work he didn’t perform. The underlying contracts that allowed such tomfoolery were initiated during the Mol- lis administration. Another municipal worker who never fought a fire was entitled to a firefighter’s pension because of the way the contract was written. Mollis’ own behavior hasn’t been exemplary. From attending a reputed mob funeral, to keeping campaign contributions from three former North Providence councilmen serving time for extortion and bribery, and paying a $3000 ethics fine for soliciting donations from his employees, he isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to ethics. Nonetheless, it is precisely because of these exorbitant union contracts — and the union vote — that gives Mr. Mollis an edge going into the primary. So, Mr. McKee’s ethics, which as of this writing are unassailable, may cost him the race because of the ethically challenged give-away record of Mr. Mollis.

I have this nice old pot that I am hoping you could tell something about. A. Your “jardinière” or “garden pot” was made by Maddock Pottery Company of Trenton, New Jersey. Your pot dates to the early 1900’s — the Victorian period. Victorian interiors often included exotic plants as décor. Most Karen were WATERMAN popular ferns and palms, partly because of the lack of light these varieties could withstand. Dark stained furniture and architectural moldings with heavy drapes were the rage at the time. A large, ceramic jardinière on a plant stand would add the final touch to decorating a room from this period. Something for all of your Holiday needs! Yours unfortunately is not in the best condition. The gold has worn and closer inspection of your photographs show some cracks. Not to worry, most of its imperfections will not be noticed with a plant in it. There are many examples of this type of pottery for sale. Your pot in its current condition would sell for under $50.

When I said his name, he looked up, obviously surprised that he would be recognized – and likely horrified that a middle-aged woman was so eager to meet him. For those that don’t remember him, Daniel Bard was a top Red Sox Cara CROMWELL pitching prospect – and lights-out pitcher – until he and the rest of the team imploded in September of 2011. In 2012 they tried to make him into a starter and he spent much of 2013 in Portland, presumably trying to get his groove back. I told him I was a Red Sox fan and he looked at the carpet, saying that he didn’t play for them anymore. Bard seemed surprised that I knew he’s just been picked up by Theo Epstein and the Cubs (and in Milwaukee for the game against the Brewers) and perked up saying he was glad that Theo picked him up. We had a short conversation about his time with the Sox – I thanked him for his many good innings and he was somewhat apologetic about his struggles. I was struck by how young he seemed and how he was clearly embarrassed by his poor performance with the Red Sox. He was not the arrogant and cocky professional baseball player I imagined from TV. He’s just a nice kid trying to pitch like he knows he can. How hurt he would be to know that someone started a “Daniel Bard Sucks” message board online. I thought of Daniel Bard last week when I read about the controversy surrounding John DePetro calling union protesters “wh__res.” While Mr. DePetro certainly has a right to use whatever language he’d like — and clearly his employer, WPRO, continues to employ him so they must approve of his behavior — I think that kind of public name-calling is intolerable in a civilized society. Whether you agree with the antipension reform union protesters (and I do not) calling them obscene names does not further the debate. It just makes politics more divisive and more unpleasant. Sadly this kind of name-calling, and the labeling that follows, is common in politics and accomplishes nothing. Whether it’s call- ing all Republicans “right wing extremists” (a particularly humorous label in Rhode Island where many Republicans are to the left of leading Democrats on social issues), or hearing those same anti-pension reform union protesters yell at Treasurer Gina Raimondo, name-calling is literally a waste of breath. We’ve watched the extreme partisanship in Washington lead to a sequester and a government shutdown. It’s time to turn the page, stop the name-calling and figure out what we can do across party lines and in spite of ideological differences. And next time you go to a baseball game and a player on your team makes an error or gives up a grand slam, try not to boo or yell “you s_ck!” Unless of course, you’re a Yankees fan.

REVIEW Retro gaming cases bring a touch of nostalgia to your iPhone BY JASON CALVERT ocketcases has recently started selling a line of ‘Retro Gamer’ cases for iPhone (4 thru 5S) which are sure to bring back some old memories. I was a child of the 80s and the NES was the first gaming system I had. I spent so many days and nights with family and friends playing some of the most iconic games. Seeing the Controller case brings back memories of playing the original Zelda with my cousins in Maine, and playing Duckhunt for the first time that wintery Christmas morning when I was seven years old. G Boy also has a similar effect on me with all those great games that you could play where ever you went. G Boy and Controller are two retro cases designed to protect that beloved mobile device from scratches and small falls. I‚Äôve seen similar ‘gaming’ cases out there that are just poorly made and quickly deteriorate after a short time of use. But not with these cases. Each case is made from either a hard silicone or soft plastic material that fits perfectly to your device. They are both crafted very well and, thankfully, hold up very well in small falls and slides. The G Boy case is modeled R ‘Retro Gamer’ cases SCORE: 9 out of 10 OUR TAKE: Quality constructed cases at a very affordable price. Model after fan favorite gaming systems of the 80s and early 90s. BUY FROM: rocketcases.com after everyones favorite original handheld, the Nintendo Gameboy. This case is made of a soft silicone material that fits snuggly over your device. The case is constructed really well and come in a few different colors which is really nice. I have the original color, white, and really like that the buttons are raised. It feels like you have a Gameboy in your hand. You can tell that Rocketcases spent some time to make sure the final piece was polished. Seeing G Boy on my iPhone makes me remember playing Doctor Mario over and over when I was a kid. The Controller case looks like the original NES controller. Its constructed of a hard plastic with a detailed image of the NES controller under clear plastic. I think this case could have been improved with raised and recessed surfaces like the G Boy case but it is still really cool. I prefer the feel of a hard case and Find more photos at eastbayri.com 24/7 am using Controller for my iPhone 4. Like the G Boy, the case has that polished feel to it. Rocketcases made a smart move in creating retro gaming cases. There are millions of 80s gamers out there like me which these cases speak too. It may sound crazy of me talking about these memories of gaming 20 years ago but, as I get older, childhood memories are becoming more important. And we will pay to have a piece of our childhood. For just $15 bucks, you get a quality case and a flood of great memories. You can’t go wrong. Martin’s Garden Notes Garden Shop, Inc. 54 Bristol Ferry Rd.

And with everyone’s to do list extra-long this time of year, you are probably even more tempted than usual to order takeout at the end of a long day. You are not alone. Studies Emily DELCONTE have shown that the average American orders takeout 3 times a week — that’s 156 meals per year. Ordering takeout often can have a negative impact on your overall health; specifically your weight, blood sugar levels and heart health. Restaurant meals may contain up to 3 times the calories you need in one meal. Also, they typically have higher fat and sodium levels compared to home-cooked meals. When you do get takeout, be smart and check out your favorite spots online to see if they provide nutrition information so you can make informed choices.

Points of Interest Living in Southern New England allows us to enjoy the many beautiful aspects of our region, as the Ocean State and the Cape offer many options for outdoor exercise. One of the sayings I have heard frequently in New England is, “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute.” While it seems that our weather can change quickly, we know our winters can still be cold and snowy. So, how do we safely maintain our outdoor exercise routine? Here are a few tips to consider. Safety First! While not for everyone, outdoor exercise will still pull many of us off the treadmills and elipticals. However, if you have certain conditions, such as asthma, heart problems or Reynaud’s disease, you should check with your doctor before beginning you regimen. Layering it on! Dress in layers that you can remove as soon as you start to sweat and then put back on as needed. First, put on a thin layer of synthetic material, such as polypropylene, which draws sweat away from your body. Avoid cotton, which stays wet next to your skin. Next, add a layer of fleece or wool for insulation. Top this with a waterproof, breathable outer layer. Reach for the mittens! When it's cold, blood flow is concentrated on your body's core, leaving your hands and feet vulnerable to frostbite. Unlike gloves, wearing mittens allows your body's warmth to be shared. Hand warmer packets can be slipped into the mittens to further keep hands warm. Cover your head, face and neck! If you have been to most of our clinics, you may have noticed there is a common theme around the top of many of our male PT’s heads. With not much covering up there for warmth, we are very aware that we loose heat through our heads. Coverage up there is very important! When weather is very severe, don’t forget to cover the neck and face as well. A hooded mask that covers the head and neck are available in many outdoor stores and offer great protection. Shoes and socks! Considering buying exercise shoes a half-size or one size larger than usual to allow for thick thermal socks or an extra pair of regular socks. Several companies make waterproof shoes that will also block the wind. Trail shoes are made of a thicker fabric and designed for slush and trails with a "snow tire tread". Some companies also offer socks made of a micro-fabric that assist in retaining warmth, wicking moisture and are lightweight. Audubon Society’s Environmental Education Center This natural history museum and aquarium is situated on a 28-acre wildlife refuge with walking trails and quarter-mile boardwalk. In the center, visitors can look inside a 33-foot lifesized Right Whale, discover life in a tide pool, observe Narragansett Bay’s marine life, see a rare blue lobster and even explore a cornfield at night.

In past newsletters, we have discussed the importance of a proper, dynamic warm-up. Warm-ups are important any time of year, but even more so in winter when pulled muscles can be a problem without an appropriate warm-up. Contact a physical therapist from Olympic PT with questions about appropriate warm-ups for your activities. Hydration Hydration is just as important in winter as it is in summer. Remember your body loses fluids via sweating. Don’t go for the burn! Don’t forget the sunscreen! We all know that we need to liberally apply the sunscreen in the summer. However, sunlight reflection from the snow and the road surface can lead to glare and even sunburn. Make sure you use sunscreen and don’t forget to apply lip balm. Head into the wind! If possible, do the second half of your workout with the wind at your back. This way, you're less likely to get chilled, especially if you've worked up a sweat. This may take some planning of your exercise route before you head out the door. Play it smart! Exercising when it's cold and raining can make you more vulnerable to the cold. If you get soaked, you may not be able to keep your core body temperature high enough, and layering won't help if your clothes are wet. If it's extremely cold, you may need to take your exercise indoors or skip it for a day or two. Wind chill extremes can make exercising outdoors unsafe even if you dress warmly. The wind can penetrate your clothes and remove the insulating layer of warm air that surrounds your body, and any exposed skin is vulnerable to frostbite. If the temperature dips well below 0 F (-17.8 C) or the wind chill is extreme, consider taking a break or choosing an indoor activity instead, or take extra precautions if you choose to exercise outdoors anyway. OPT knows the importance of exercise and that many of you will continue to exercise outdoors throughout the winter. The recommendations above will help you remain safe and meet your fitness goals!

WARREN lyson Roslonek is a full-time agent with the Mello Group who used to be a teacher. The mother of three children, Katie, Elisabeth and Matthew, she lives in Rumford with her family and husband, Ryan. Alyson is a graduate of Rhode Island College and taught elementary school before starting a family. She is a member of the National Board of Realtors, Greater Providence Board of Realtors and the East Bay Chamber of Commerce. WHY BECOME A REALTOR? "I became interested in real estate when my husband and I sold our first and second homes. I worked hard to stage and market the properties and enjoyed meeting everyone who came to see it. (We sold them both quickly and for over asking!) So, when I was ready to return to the workforce but looking for something more flexible, real estate seemed like a perfect fit! Since the very beginning I have been blessed with a successful career and adore my team at The Mello Group." LAST MOVIE WITH THE KIDS? "The last movie I saw with the kids was Disney’s 'Planes.' I loved the simple positive message." WHAT DO YOU LOVE THE MOST AND THE LEAST ABOUT YOUR NEW CAREER? "One of the things I enjoy most is utilizing my creativity during staging and marketing. I like to think outside of the box and showcase the unique beauty that every home has to offer, while marketing it to as many people as possible. I also love the adventure of real estate — no two days are ever the same! I get to meet great people, tour beautiful homes and be out in the community instead of always sitting behind a desk! "Admittedly, there is a challenging side to the adventure. My work schedule is unpredictable, and my family often has to pitch in and help out. Without the help of my husband and parents, I couldn’t be the reliable realtor that my clients have come to depend on." BEST CULINARY CREATION? "I make a mean pecan pie and always include it in my Thanksgiving and Christmas menus." WITH THREE KIDS YOU MUST HAVE A PET OR TWO? "Charlie, our friendly chocolate lab, is an important part of the family. He loves to fetch, swim, hike and play soccer."
