FBI offers $20,000 reward in Barrington kidnapping case
Law enforcement
seeking a lead in
June 30 incident
The FBI, the Barrington Police
Department and the Rhode Island
State Police are asking the public
for help in identifying an individual responsible for an armed kidnapping, and are offering a
$20,000 reward for the identification, arrest and prosecution of the
person responsible.
According to a press release
from Barrington police, the
abduction took place on Monday,
June 30, at about 7:30 a.m. in the
resident’s driveway in the area of
Barrington Beach.
According to police, the suspect
approached the resident in his
driveway, ordered him into his car
and told him to drive out of town
while the suspect sat in the car
holding a black handgun.
Police say the
suspect is an
Hispanic male
who wore a
gray hooded
sweatshirt,
dirty

jeans, and a

bandana covering his nose.
He is approximately 5-feet 8-inches tall and
possibly in his 20s or 30s.
“The suspect spoke English but
Spanish while on his cell phone,”
stated the press release. “There
were no demands made of the resident for money.”
Police say that while the Barrington resident was driving on
Interstate 90 in Lee, Mass. near the
New York state line, the suspect
ordered him to stop the vehicle
and the suspect then fled into the
woods.

“The resident was unharmed
and reported the incident to the

According to police, the suspect
had with him a dark colored gym
bag with the white Nike swoosh
on it.

Second-graders donate
to family in need
This holiday season, the second-graders in Mrs. August’s, Mrs.
Thomas’ and Mr. Whittaker’s
classes at Primrose Hill School
partnered with Children’s Friend
to support the “Spirit of Giving
Holiday Drive.”
Children’s Friend is Rhode
Island’s oldest child welfare organization — it provides a wide
range of social services for vulnerable children and families, serving
more than 30,000 individuals each
year.
The second grade students at
Primrose Hill School were
matched with a large low-income
family: a single mom with six children (five of whom have specials
needs) ranging in age from an
infant to a 10 year-old.
The extraordinarily generous
contributions of the Primrose Hill
School second grade students,
families and teachers will provide
this
family
with:
41
toys/games/puzzles/art supplies,
17 books, 46 pants and shirts, 13
pairs of pajamas, 3 pairs of slippers, 4 pairs of shoes, 7 pairs of
socks, 7 winter coats, 7 hats, 6
pairs of gloves, 2 scarfs, 23 toiletries, 172 diapers, 8 household
items, and almost $200 in gift
cards.
Mrs. August noted that the children learned a lot about the
importance of caring and sharing,
and that the students looked

through every bag of goodies that
arrived at school and were as
excited as if the gifts had been
purchased for them.
Mrs. Thomas said this project
was a great way to pull together as
a Primrose Hill family and has led
to meaningful conversations
inside the classrooms.
The “Spirit of Giving Holiday
Drive” is a well-established program at the organization and
provides gifts of clothing, toys,
and other household items in
order to make the winter holidays a special time for families in
need.
This year, Children’s
Friend is serving 1,300 families
with their sponsored family program.
The local students kicked off
the drive at Primrose Hill School
by assembling the three classes
to read the book “Fly Away
Home” (by Eve Bunting), a story
of a homeless boy and father,
which was followed by a discussion about helping those in need.
Barrington PAW awarded grant money
The Barrington Partnership for
Animal Welfare recently received a
grant from the Rhode Island
Foundation through its Program
for Animal Welfare.
The BPAW was awarded $9,190
to support the on-going development and implementation of its
Bristol County Community Cats
initiative, including community
outreach and education, fees associated with caring for stray and feral cats and equipment for the new
cat adoption center.
The grant was among nearly
$440,000 that the Foundation
awarded to 27 animal welfare programs across the state that do
everything from providing lowcost vet care for needy pet owners
to rescuing injured seals
“The generous support of our
donors and the dedication of our
grantees is expanding humane
education, raising awareness and
increasing the quality of animal
care in Rhode Island,” said Adrian
Boney, the grants program officer
who oversees PAW.
“Animal welfare grants actually
reach much further than is obvious. For instance, a grant to help
emergency pet sheltering saves
human lives because people will
heed evacuation warnings if they
have somewhere to take their
pets, where they would not if they
had to leave their pets in harm’s
way,” said Dr. Scott Marshall,
Rhode Island State Veterinarian.
Friends of the Bristol Animal
Shelter received $15,000 to add an
outdoor play area for dogs at its
new facility, and The Rhode
Island Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals in East Providence was awarded $12,698.

makers in Washington, D.C.
“I have been asked to testify in
Congress and have gone to Washington twice in support of the Safe

with more than 30 Senior Health
Policy Analysts and Representatives on the Committee who

nothing can change a marketplace faster than angry moms and
dads demanding better for their
families so I always urge customers to vote with their dollars
and demand safer products.”

Special to The Times
As a 14-year old high school student, Barrington’s Ava Anderson
changed the way her family lived
by eliminating products that contain harmful chemicals.
At 20 she is changing the way
families across the country live by
offering toxin-free products all
over the US.
Almost five years ago Ava, with
the help of her family, founded
Ava Anderson Non-Toxic, a small
business that began with six skin
care products.
The business has grown to
include a full line of more than 75
products in 12 categories and has
enrolled more than 6,000 sales
consultants — both men and
women — in all 50 states (and
Puerto Rico). More than 1,000 of
those consultants have joined the
company in the past 90 days
alone.
Locally, the company has grown
so rapidly that it recently moved
from its headquarters in Warren to
a larger facility in East Providence,
where it has 45 full-time employees and is looking to hire even
more.
Some of the Ava Anderson NonToxic products are manufactured
on-site in East Providence and
others are outsourced.
The lines include everything
from pet products to baby products to candles and cosmetics. Ava
Anderson Non-Toxic is working
on new products that will launch
in the coming months.
Ava is currently a junior studying business at Babson College.
“Babson is the perfect place for
me to gain the business skills to
help me transition into my full
time role with the company come
graduation time,” Ava said.
Juggling college and running a
business is a test to Ava’s will and
drive to spread the message of
product safety. She also has a great
support system in place.
“So far I have been able to balance everything pretty well,” she
said. “I work about four hours a
day during the week and more on
the weekends and full time during
summer, holidays and January
break. I’m very fortunate to have
such an amazing team back in RI.”
When she originally brought the
concept of manufacturing organic

products to her mother, Kim
Sprague Anderson, she was well
received and had the full support
of her family, including her father
Frohman Anderson, older brother, Frohman, and grandparents.
“In the beginning stages of my
business I was thinking very small,
maybe sell locally or set up an
online shop and ship from our
house, but I quickly realized retail
would not work because of the
education component. There just
isn’t enough room on the back of a
bottle to explain the issue of toxic
chemicals in conventional products and what makes ours so
unique,” Ava said.
Instead Ava decided to launch
the company as a “party plan”
direct-sales business. The company grew as customers learned
about the chemicals in most conventional products, and asked for
non-toxic solutions.
The direct sales concept has
proven successful for the company. Ava consultants share the message of the harmful ingredients in
most conventional products on
the market in the U.S. today. Some
consultants are making six figures,
managing large teams.
“One fact consultants share at
avaHOURS (parties) is that there
are only 10 banned ingredients in
the U.S., but more than 1,300 in
the EU,” Ava said. “People are justifiably disturbed by this, as I am,

In addition to the consultant
opportunities the company provides, Ava is also a mentor to other young entrepreneurs.
“I really enjoy speaking with students about the possibilities to
scale their ideas into successful
business — from The MET School
in Providence to local girl scout
troops. I am most proud that we
have funded the first Women’s
Entrepreneurial Accelerator in a
US college here at Babson. There
are currently 30 recent Babson
graduates, business school
attendees and undergrads in the
program. Many will start businesses this year,” Ava said.
As an inspiration for other
young entrepreneurs, Ava offers
this advice.
“My best advice is to do your
research, and understand the
marketplace. Be sure it is something you are passionate about
and can see yourself doing for
many years, as it often takes that
long to get traction,” she said.
“Seek out a mentor — a parent or
friend, anyone who can advise
you. Follow your gut and your
passion!
“If you truly have a great idea,
and a sellable product or service,
that can ‘scale up’ to a good
income, someone will be willing
to help you with it. Be sure to
have them sign an NDO (non disclosure agreement!) so your great
idea will always be yours. Know
that it will be very hard work and
time consuming, and be willing
to get back up when you’re
knocked down.
“Oh, and nothing ever goes
according to plan, but the
rewards can be great!”

and the ability to create an energy
net-zero building — where the
structure could essentially function “off the energy grid.”
The building subcommittee is
set to begin the review process in
early January. The deadline for
completion of the review would
depend on the number of firms
that submit qualifications to do
the work.
Barrington school officials have
been contemplating the construction of a new middle school for
more than a year. During a meeting in November, administrators
spoke about a key variable in the
project timeline: state aid reimbursement for new school construction.
In prior years, the state reimbursed school districts for a percentage of their construction
costs. But the general assembly
has placed a moratorium on those
reimbursements. Without the
reimbursement dollars, local taxpayers would need to pay the full
tab for the project, and at last estimate a new middle school could
cost upwards of $36 million.
Despite the uncertainty of the
reimbursement
moratorium,
school officials are moving forward with early stages of the project.
Eventually, school officials will
need to present to local taxpayers
a clear plan for the new middle
school, and for a bond that will
foot the bill for the upcoming
work.
School officials are hoping that
while early planning work and
permitting is taking place in Barrington, state officials will lift the
construction
reimbursement
moratorium.
Once the approvals have been
secured, funding is in place, firms
have been hired and advanced
work is completed, officials expect
the actual bricks and mortar construction to run between 18 and
20 months.

The Barrington Booster Club recently hired a company to install a clear cover on the Booster Board.
Barrington’s Booster Board covers up
New glass and aluminum
cover shields letters
There is something new about
the Booster Board that greets
motorists as they roll into Barrington on Route 114 South, but it’s a
little difficult to see.
The new addition to the board is
a glass and aluminum shield that
covers the letters and protects the
messages from vandals and
thieves.
Having grown tired of seeing
messages re-arranged and plastic
letters stolen or destroyed, offi-
cials from the Barrington Booster
Club commissioned the construction of the new cover. It was
installed earlier this fall.
David Hughes, a member of the
Barrington Booster Club, often
helps place messages on the
board.
He said club members re-painted the board a few days before an
outside company installed the
cover.
“We would rather not have to do
it,” he said during a recent visit to
the sign.
The cover locks and is ventilated
to help combat moisture problems during wet weather.
A rash of vandal attacks in the
spring forced Barrington Booster
Club members to halt placing
messages upon the board. For
weeks, the board remained empty,
prompting questions from the
public about whether the messages would ever return.
A short while later the messages
started reappearing, but in July,
club members again ceased placing messages on the board when
vandals struck, switching the letters to create profanities.

There’s no room for hunting in Barrington
Hey Mother Nature,
stop picking on the park
M
other Nature has it out for Latham Park.
Town and state officials have worked
for more than a year to bring a series of
improvements to Bay Spring’s Latham
Park — a new sea wall to cut down on
erosion, new plantings, and a new parking area.
The effort should have been warmly embraced by all, but
instead has been the target for two stinging strikes by
Mother Nature.
Shortly after workers completed the upgrades to the park
in the late summer, the area experienced a month-long
drought. Rain refused to fall from the sky and those tender
young plants that had been added to the landscape at the
park started to shrivel up and die.
Residents called the newspaper: “I don’t want to complain — the park looks great,” one person said. “It’s just that
all those new plants are drying up.”
Thankfully, the rain returned and most of the plants
bounced back. But it wasn’t long after that when Mother
Nature dealt her next blow: A moon high tide washed over
much of the park and dragged some of the new enhancements out to sea. Council president June Speakman said
that crews will replace the crushed stone that was lost during the tidal swing.
A handful of town officials gathered recently at the park
and posed for a quick photo — they wanted to celebrate
the improvements and mark the completion of the work.
Congratulations are owed to all who helped bring the
upgrades to Latham Park ... and here’s hoping that in the
future, Mother Nature will focus her angst elsewhere.
BARRINGTON TIMES
To the editor:
Two weeks ago I couldn’t take
the gunshots anymore. Waking
me at 6 a.m., the sounds were
relentless over the Thanksgiving
weekend.
We have lived in Barrington now
for 12 years. I am honored, privileged and blessed to be living in
an environment of such natural
beauty and resources.
When we moved to Barrington
we could not have imagined that
the backyard of the home we were
to purchase on a waterfront lot, a
residence in a neighborhood, a
neighborhood two blocks from
our children’s elementary school,
would be open for waterfowl
hunting.
Perhaps we were naive, but it
didn’t occur to us that the Barrington community, the lovely small
town charm and the exorbitant
property taxes, would lend itself to
this activity within the confines of
the waterways which define it.
Duck blinds, decoys, camouflage boats and hunters encroach
seasonally on the water in pursuit
of geese and ducks. Although on
our particular parcel of waterfront
there may be no more than two to
three individual parties of hunters
on any given day throughout the
season, their presence and the
havoc their wreak is nonetheless
quite disturbing.
Their “take” at the end of the
day hardly controlling the waterfowl population, a common but
untrue rationale for hunting
under these circumstances.
At sunrise we are jolted from our
beds by the sound of gunfire.
We are unable to enjoy the
water that we live on by boat during this time of the year, lest we
disturb and disrupt the hunting
process, or subject ourselves to
this paramilitary display.
Sitting in our kitchen, we hear
the sound of gunfire and witness
ducks and geese dropping from
the sky.
We are part of a community that
is now a residential neighborhood. It is densely populated with
homes. Gone are the days when
the Barrington waterfront was
considered a wilderness environment.
“We’ve been hunting these
waters for 100 years,” is no longer
relevant. Gone are the days when
waterfowl was hunted as the only
means of putting food on the
table. Furthermore, it is unclear to
me how much of a duck or a goose
is edible after being filled with
Get involved in fight against gun violence
To the editor:
Up until about two years ago, I
could not have told you much
about gun violence. Oh, I had seen
Bowling for Columbine and was
properly outraged. I knew about
the Tucson mass shooting in 2011
when Congressman Giffords was
shot, and the Aurora movie theater shooting in summer of 2012.
But other than those headlines, I
knew little. I cared, but not
enough to do anything. My life
was busy, full, and gun violence
was not my problem.
Well everything changed when
20 first-graders and 6 educators
were murdered in less than 5 minutes on Dec. 14, 2012. On that day,
I realized that it was my problem.
Our children face the threat of
gun violence by participating in
routine lock down drills in school:
Kindergartners hide under desks
while their teachers pray for complete silence; sixth-graders may
end up on toilets with their feet
pulled up if they are caught in the
bathroom during a drill. This is the
new normal for American school

where I live, I am not entertained
and I am not amused. Yet I have
no choice but to endure this violent and invasive reality programming.
Furthermore, I can’t help but
wonder why hunters don’t consider the houses and the people who
live in them, that are yards away
from where they discharge their
guns.
Why they don’t care that their
gunfire scares children and pets?
Why they don’t care that people
who work at home cannot do so
without the disturbing and distracting din of their fire?
Why they don’t care that they
are disturbing the elderly, the sick,
the vets with PTSD — the peace?
This is clearly an entitled behavior on their part, as the state has
allowed this to continue. Clearly,
the hunters don’t care.
But I care, and my neighbors
care. And we would like to see
hunting in our community and
neighborhood come to an end.

Hey National Grid, what’s the
real reason behind rate hike?
To the editor:
Having just read your editorial “Price spike warning premature,” regarding a possible 23.6
percent hike in electricity costs,
I am moved to send along this
thought.
I am not an economist, but
based on the growing use of
high efficiency light bulbs and
Energy Star appliances by consumers (a program funded by
us and touted by National
Grid), I question if National
Grid is actually “needing” to
raise prices because customers
are using less electricity, and
more efficiently?
Since installing these devices
throughout my home over the
years, I’ve seen about a 23 percent decrease in my electric
bill. Hmmm.

POLICE REPORT
Teens face alcohol possession charges
Monday, Dec. 8
A pothole near the intersection of
Washington Road and Bradford Street
was the cause for two blown car tires.
In separate incidents, residents called
police to report the vehicle damage
after they struck the pothole.
Police said a local boy told them a man
wearing a white sweatshirt was hiding
in some bushes near the intersection of
Primrose Hill Road and College Lane.
The boy also reportedly told a friend
that the man had chased him a few
months earlier. Police could not find the
man.
Tuesday, Dec. 9
A female student at the high school
was charged with truancy after she
reportedly missed eight days of school
and was late 33 times.
Police investigated a possible case of
child abuse; the case was also investigated by officials from DCYF.
A Meadowbrook Drive resident and a
contractor from Northbridge, Mass.
contacted police after the contractor's
jackhammer and four ladders were
allegedly stolen from the property. The
jackhammer is valued at $1,500. The
resident has video cameras on his property and planned to review the footage.
Wednesday, Dec. 10
A 19 year-old Barrington woman told
police she received a letter from the
IRS alerting her to the fact that someone else had used her personal information to file a fraudulent tax return.
A Barrington resident told police that
her vehicle was damaged while it was
parked at the Garden City shopping
center or during a recent trip to Connecticut.
A Barrington resident stopped into the
station after her vehicle was damaged
while striking a pothole on County
Road near Manning Drive.
Thursday, Dec. 11
A Pine Cone Drive resident phoned
police to report a possible attempted
breaking and entering. He said he had
heard footsteps during the overnight
hours. He said he also found that a door
he had normally locked was open. The
resident said it was also possible that
wind had been responsible for the door
opening.
A Walnut Road resident called police
after he lost his wallet. He said the wallet contained his Social Security card,
driver's license, various credit cards and
about $200 in cash.
Friday, Dec. 12
A Narragansett Avenue resident told

school. The knife had reportedly fallen
out of the student's pocket while he
was fooling around with some friends.
The knife's blade was of legal length.
Saturday, Dec. 13
Police charged three local teenagers
with possession of alcohol by an underage person after a traffic stop at 12:44
a.m. According to police, an officer on a
traffic post clocked a vehicle on County
Road traveling 46 mph in a 25 mph
zone. The officer ordered the vehicle to
the side of the road, and while still
inside his cruiser, he could reportedly
see the occupants of the car moving
around suspiciously inside their vehicle.
The officer approached the driver’s side
of the vehicle and ordered the occupants to place their hands on their laps;
the teenagers obliged. The officer
allegedly could smell the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle — the
teenagers denied having smoked any
marijuana. Police allegedly located a
bottle of mango vodka under the driver’s seat and asked the teenagers to
take a breathalyzer test. They all
refused. Police then charged three Barrington teenagers — a 16 year-old
female with possession of a beverage
by an underage person; 17 year-old
female with possession and consumption by underage person, unlawful use
of license; and a 17 year-old male with
underage possession or consumption.
The driver, an 18 year-old boy, was not
charged.
Police charged Joshua Sousa, 30, of
Bristol, with disorderly conduct. A CVS
employee called police and said Mr.
Sousa made verbal threats against a
pharmacy worker because she would
not give him some medication he wanted. The pharmacist was crying and visibly shaken. A review of the video surveillance from inside the store allegedly
showed Mr. Sousa yelling rude comments at the pharmacist.
Sunday, Dec. 14
Police charged Curtis T. Jouett, 47, of 3
Hickory Lane, with domestic-simple
assault/battery. Police said Mr. Jouett
allegedly was involved in a fight with

not clear who started the fight. Officers also said Mr. Jouett and his son
began arguing while police were at the
home.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
To the editor:
Several years ago my wife and I
purchased a family cemetery plot
in Forest Chapel Cemetary on
Nayatt Road. A few years ago I had
my parents’ ashes moved from
New Jersey to our new plot in Barrington.
Last year we moved to Redmond, Wash. and asked a relative
Dr. Lisa Daft
to place a Christmas wreath on
the gravesite for the holidays. A
wreath was placed on the grave
stone by my sister-in-law, and
when she happened to drive by 30
minutes later, she saw that the
wreath had been stolen!
We are very saddened and disappointed that someone would
be so lacking in human kindness
to do such a thing, and especially
at Christmastime.

The Barrington Eagles placed
13th among the 19 teams at the
Mt. Hope Holiday Wrestling Tournament on Saturday, Dec. 13.
Throughout the day and into
the evening, Barrington’s 10
wrestlers garnered 54 points to
finish in the middle of the pack.
Of the day’s triumphs, senior
Quinn Morvillo took second place
in the 220-pound weight division.
Morvillo went 3-1 in the championship rounds, beating two of his
opponents by fall. In the semifinal match, he won by sudden
victory over Ray Richards of Hope
High School before falling to Joe
Fusco of Shawsheen, Mass. for
first place.
In his first match, Morvillo wasted no time, pinning Stoughton’s
Matt Williams in less than a
minute on the mat. He then went
on to pin Mt. Hope’s Bailey Taft in
just over a minute.
Adding points to the Eagles’
score, Matt Leonard (106), Sina
Anvar (120), Christos Meltsakos
and Maxx Robey went 2-2 in their
preliminary matches.

boys’ basketball team opened the
season with a pair of non-league
victories.
Playing at home on Thursday,
Dec. 11, the Eagles defeated
Portsmouth 55-46. Barrington
then knocked off Westerly 47-39.
Barrington head coach Patrick
Sullivan said Matt DeWolf has
played well to start the season.
“Matt has been a beast in both
games,” wrote Sullivan in a recent
email. “Twenty points, 7 rebounds,
3 blocked shots vs. Portsmouth.
Twenty points, 11 rebounds vs.
Westerly.”
Sullivan added that senior guard
Corey Daugherty has been nursing
an injury so far this season, but is
expected back in the lineup this
week. The Eagles were scheduled
to play a non-league game at Juanita Sanchez on Tuesday and will
host Classical in their first league
game on Friday night at 7 p.m.
“We are looking forward to the
challenge of playing Division I this
year,” Sullivan added.
Indoor track
boys’ and girls’ indoor track teams
participated in their respective
Injury Fund relay meets.
The girls were paced by an
impressive performance in the distance medley relay — Lusine Gazeryan, Chloe Mayhew, Lilly
Gagliano and Grace Connolly ran
to a second place finish. Mayhew,
Stephanie Galbraith, Kerry Eller
and Allison Army finished fourth in
the 4x60 meter shuttle hurdle relay,
while Mary Berkery, Katie
McCormick and Monica Drimbarean combined for a third place
finish in the high jump relay. Berkery cleared 4 feet, 8 inches.
The boys’ team finished second
to Bishop Hendricken, powered by
a record-setting performance from
the weight throwers and the 4x800
relay. Mars Bishop, Grant Auber,
Sam Somera and Lucas Bledsoe
clocked a 8:22.7, which was good
enough for the Large School title
and a BHS record which had been
held by Tom Barry, Will Casazza,
Conor Royley and Lucas Bledsoe.
The distance medley team finished in fourth place and the sprint
medley team was fifth.
“We have a large squad, with a
lot of new talent joining us this
year,” wrote coach Bill Barrass.
“Again we are in Class B, and again
I am confident that we’ll have a
shot at Classical for the Class B
championship at the end of the
season.”
Girls’ ice hockey
The Eagles moved to 4-0 in
league play this weekend with a 92 win over Cranston. The depth of
the roster showed with 13 players
contributing to the scoring.
Defense, led by senior captain
Leah Hoder, contributed three
goals and one assist, while the third
line saw plenty of productive ice
time and added two goals with four
assists on the night. This win follows their first-ever win over
Mount St. Charles, as well as a
tough win over Burrillville and a
win vs. Lincoln.
Overall this season, the Eagles
have six players with at least one
point per game, led by forward
captains Kelly Kraunelis (8) and
Meghan Miller (7), followed by
Carissa Rego (7), and Mary Arkins,
Jillian Bannon, and Leah Hoder
each with 4 points. The Eagles have
outscored their opponents 25-9 in
the four games and lead the division. Senior Helen Prates has led in
goal with a 1.88 goals against average in 120 minutes of play, with
freshman Erika Keller filling in
nicely in her first varsity start, averaging 3.00 GAA thus far.
While they are off to a good start,
Coach Deneen Stebenne still sees
plenty of opportunities to improve.
“We are still getting used to each
other and trying to gel as a team on
the ice,” she said. “We have some
challenging games ahead, and we
are working hard to prepare for
them...”
The Eagles face Smithfield at
7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Smithfield Arena.

played well in net for the Eagles in
the loss to Cumberland. Against
Burrillville, Barrington played well
at the start, but suffered from
some coverage mistakes in front

played well for the Eagles. “Overall we are young and need to be in
better position and work hard for

together but it will take some
time,” added Borek.

TOWN OF BARRINGTON
PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT
PUBLIC HEARING
The Barrington Town Council will hold a public hearing on
January 5, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber, Town Hall,
283 County Road, Barrington, RI, for consideration of zoning
ordinance amendments.
Proposed amendments to the Town of Barrington Zoning
Ordinance will specify firm deadlines for the disposition of zoning
appeals, as required by recent amendments to Rhode Island’s
Zoning Enabling Act. The amendments will also eliminate language in the standard for granting dimensional variances which
is no longer permitted under the Zoning Enabling Act. The specific amendments are:
CHAPTER 185. ZONING; ARTICLE XII: ZONING BOARD
OF REVIEW
Section 185-58. Appeals to the Board.
C. The Board shall hear and decide appeals within 65
days of the date of a completed application for an appeal.
Section 185-64. Decisions of the Board.
• The Board shall render a decision on any matter before it
within 45 15 days after the public hearing is closed.
CHAPTER 185. ZONING; ARTICLE XIII: VARIANCES
Section 185-71. Standard for granting dimensional variances.
Prior to the granting of a dimensional variance by the
Zoning Board of Review, in addition to the standards of §
185-69, the applicant has the burden of proving that the
hardship to be suffered by the owner of the subject property shall amount to more than a mere inconvenience,
which shall mean that there is no other reasonable alternative to enjoy a legally permitted beneficial use of the
property. The fact that a use may be more profitable or that
a structure may be more valuable after the relief is granted shall not be grounds for relief.
***
All interested parties may review and examine a copy of the proposed zoning ordinance amendment at the Barrington Town
Clerk’s Office between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Copies of the proposed zoning amendment can be obtained from
the Town Clerk’s Office.
At the public hearing opportunity will be given to all interested
persons to be heard upon the proposed zone change. The proposal may be altered or amended prior to the close of the public
hearing without further advertising, as a result of further study or
because of the views expressed at the public hearing. Any such
alteration must be presented for comment in the course of said
hearing.

Patrick and his
wife Christine,
Karin and her partner Jonathan
Silva, Robert and his wife Virginia;
grandchildren Brittany, Nicole,
William and Lucy and great
granddaughter, Paige. He is also
survived by his brother Robert
Dreier, his nephew Robert, and
niece Amy. Don had a very special
place in his heart for his family.
Don was born and raised in
Baldwin, NY. He received his
undergraduate degree from Rutgers University, served as a First
Lieutenant in the Air Force for two
years in England, after which he
earned his MBA from Rutgers University. Don started his 56-year
professional career as a CPA in
public accounting, and then went
on to managerial careers with
Sheldahl, Sealol, president of
Rotary Seal, and president of Softal
Germany, after which he formed
his own company, Converting
Equipment & Supply Company.
Don also served as a volunteer with
the United Way Fund and the Public Expenditures Council.
Don’s competitive spirit and passion were sports: football, soccer,
baseball and wrestling through
high school, then football in college as quarterback for Rutgers. His
time in the Air Force was augmented by coaching and playing in the
European football league. His
sports focus then became a love for
golf and his many matches with his
golfing “buddies,” friendly games
with his family, along with years of
skiing and great times traveling.
He was treasurer and president
of Rhode Island Country Club,
after which he and Janet spent a
number of years in Vero Beach,
Fla., enjoying golf and the very
memorable times there with family and friends. Don and Janet also
relished many fun evenings with
their special movie friends followed by lively discussions over
dinner about the next Oscar winners.
A service was held on Monday,
Dec. 15 at the Smith Mason Funeral home at 398 Willett Avenue,
Riverside. His funeral and burial
were private.
In lieu of flowers, his family
would deeply appreciate memorials to Button Hole Golf at One Button Hole Drive, Suite One, Providence, RI 02909 or St. John’s
Church, 191 County Road, Barrington, RI 02806

John O. ‘Jack’ Sager
Professional drummer,
Red Sox fan
John O. “Jack” Sager, of
Barrington, was born in
Boston on June 23, 1928
and was formerly of
Harwich Port,
Mass. He was
the husband of
the love of his
life, the late
June Sager.
He was father

Speakman, Jim
Sager, Joe Sager
and
Jeanne
Sager Kelley; grandfather to
Chelsea and Jeremy Kelley, Jason
and Adam Speakman, Joseph
Sager, James, Nina, Johnny and
Hannah Sager, and great-grandfather to Hailee and Lily Sager.
Jack served in the United States
Navy in World War II, was a graduate of Tufts University, and
worked in the music business for
many years. But his life’s work
was as a drummer. He played
with many bands, great and
small from the jazz clubs of
Boston to the supper clubs of the
Catskills to the beach clubs of
Cape Cod. Even into his 80s, he
sat in with bands in his adopted
home of Rhode Island.
He was an avid Red Sox fan,
with a wealth of knowledge of
both baseball and jazz. Jack
shared stories of both with his
wonderful friends at Jack’s Bar in

Tiverton doctor and deacon returns from medical mission in Liberia
T
BY CHRIST Y NADALIN
[email protected]
here are some people who you just know
you would want on your team when the
going gets tough. Dr. Timothy Flanigan of
Tiverton is one of those people. He didn’t
just step up in a time of crisis, he stepped
up in a very big way, volunteering to go to
impoverished, war-torn Liberia to help
respond to the biggest Ebola epidemic that Africa has ever
faced.
Ebola is the stuff of nightmares, as anyone who has followed the outbreak closely can attest, as can anyone who
read Robin Cook’s 1987 novel “Outbreak,” Richard Preston’s
1994 non-fiction thriller “The Hot Zone,” or Tom Clancy’s
1996 novel “Executive Orders,” all of
which starred the Ebola virus. Thankfully, those books are as close as most of us
will likely get to exposure.
The Ebola virus itself, which Flanigan
projected on the screen at a lecture hosted by the Portsmouth Institute for Faith
and Culture last Saturday, Dec. 13, is, to
the untrained eye, an unassuming squiggle. Most of the time, it exists in an animal reservoir. Like rabies, it is found in

bats,
occasionally making its way to othFlanigan
er mammals and, rarely, fortunately, to
humans. When it does reach the human
population it causes Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), a highly
contagious viral hemorrhagic fever with a 50 to 90 percent
fatality rate.
Flanigan himself is considerably more congenial than his
foe. An infectious disease specialist at The Miriam Hospital
and professor of medicine at Brown University, a husband
and father who serves as a deacon in two Tiverton Catholic
parishes, Flanigan knew he had skills that could be of service at the center of the Ebola crisis. “I had a sense that I
could help, but I didn’t know what I was going to do or find.”
Neither did Sister Barbara Brilliant, the Franciscan missionary to whom he offered his services. Pragmatically, she
accepted his offer of help, telling him, “We’ll find out when
you get here.”

Summer flounder and
black sea bass regulations to tighten
ast week the Mid-Atlantic
Fisheries Management
Council (MAFMC) and the
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission
(ASMFC) had a
joint meeting to
discuss summer
flounder (fluke),
black sea bass
and scup. These
two organizations have a
Capt. Dave
direct impact on
MONTI
fishing regulations in Rhode
Island as some of our species fall
under the MAFMC and migratory
species that travel the east coast
are regulated by the ASMFC.
Scup saw liberalization in Federal waters with the recreational
catch limit increased to 50 fish.
Scup regulations will likely be liberalized in Rhode Island waters
too.
A summer flounder addendum
will go out to public hearing in
January. East coast anglers overfished their quota in Rhode Island
and other coastal states this year.
Capt. Rick Bellavance, president of
the Rhode Island Party and Charter Boat Association, said, “Option
1 is the regional approach we had
last year and there are several variations of regional configurations
in the document. I am concerned
about the options that bring
Rhode Island into the New
York/Connecticut/New Jersey
region, mostly because of the
uncertain data and how dramatically it can change from year to
year. I got the sense that a lot of
people want to see us in the New
York region which could reduce
our (recreational) bag limit to five
and shorten our season by quite a
few days. We will need to attend
the public hearing in January to
voice our opinion.”
Capt. Bellavance continued,
“Black Sea Bass is a train wreck.
The Northern Region has to take a
28 percent reduction so I would
think we will look at a shortened
season and a reduced bag limit. I
know this does not make any
sense with what we see on the
water, but we are stuck with the
existing law right now.” Capt.
Bellavance said the Technical
Committee is working to develop
new approaches for determining
catch limits but he was not hopeful that any change would occur
for the 2015 season. However, a
benchmark stock assessment is
currently scheduled for 2016, so
maybe that will help in the future.
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission to meet February
The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission’s 2015 Winter
Meeting has been scheduled for
February 3-5, 2015 at the Westin
Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia. The
agenda is available online at asmfc.org/home/2015-winter-meeting. Meeting materials will be
available on January 23, 2015 on
the Commission website. Agenda
highlights include such items as
winter flounder plans, Atlantic
herring, American lobster, Atlantic
menhaden, weakfish and big decisions are on the agenda for summer flounder, scup and black sea
bass.
The Striped Bass Management
Board meeting is scheduled for
Thursday, February 5 from 8 a.m.
to noon. The key agenda item to
be discussed and considered for
approval are Addendum IV Conservation Equivalency Proposals
and Implementation Plans which
coastal states have been working
on.
Rhode Island is expected to submit a plan that would allow the
party and charter boat industry to
take two fish at 32” or 33” minimum size which is expected to
surpass the 25 percent reduction
mandated by the new striped bass
conservation equivalency threshold. Coast-wide, one fish at 28”
was approved by the ASMFC for
recreational anglers which is a 31
percent reduction. Other states
may opt for a two fish solution for
recreational anglers in general
and/or charter boats as long as
they meet the “conservation
equivalency” reduction goal of 25
percent.
More conservative anglers want
to stay with the one striped bass
fish at 28” regulation for 2015
while other recreational fishermen
(and states) want to meet the 25
percent reduction goal but do it
with two fish rather than one even
though the two fish would have to
be a larger minimum size.
This ASMFC meeting is packed
with agenda items that will impact
fishing regulations here in Rhode
Island this summer so it is important to engage on the issues locally
and regionally when angler input
opportunities are offered and
attend public hearings.
Where’s the bite
Tautog season closes, cod and
black sea bass fishing still good.
The tautog fishing season closed
December 15. Angler Larry Norin
reports a slow cod bite off
Jamestown and Newport last
week. This weekend the Frances
Fleet had good cod and black sea
bass trips. Capt. Frank Blount
said, “Weather sidelined us for a
good chunk of the past week. Friday saw a pick of nice green market cod to nearly ten pounds and a
decent amount of keeper sea bass
with a bunch of sea bass limits.
One angler did really well with the
cod boxing 8 nice keepers and
while his score was not representative of the average, most of the
anglers aboard did leave with a
cod fish...On Saturday’s run the
cod fish were a bit more evenly
distributed around the boat. Hi
hook boxed four keepers and two
other anglers recorded three keepers apiece. The sea bass bite was
very good as well with many
anglers limited out and they were
much bigger average size than the
day prior. A lot of jumbos in the 2
to 3.5 lb. range with a handful of
bigger ones to over 4 lbs.” Elisa
Martin of Sung Harbor Marina,
South Kingstown said, “The Island
Current party boat started sailing
this weekend from our docks, too
early to tell how they doing. The
only other highlight was our customer appreciation holiday party
last week. The fish chowder continues to be a big hit with customers.” Party boats sailing for
cod fish at this time include the

The real
Green Monster
I
like to think that baseball is
a game to watch and enjoy,
but the truth is that professional baseball is a business. For
as much as we’d like to believe
that players have an affinity for
the club, the city
or the fan base,
the reality is that
they shouldn’t
get sentimental
about their team
since they are
often traded
with no notice
Cara
no regard
CROMWELL and
for their families
or their roots. I remember the
stunned look on Nomar’s face
when he was shipped off to the
Chicago Cubs in what he later
referred to as a “devastating”
trade. He never saw it coming.
Jon Lester’s decision to go to the
Cubs has left many fans in Boston
disappointed but I’ll argue that at
least Lester approached it the
right way. He must have been
insulted by the lowball offer (less
than half of what he ended up
getting) that Boston started out
with last spring but he never
whined or let money become part
of the conversation. Even when
he was “rented” to the A’s in July,
he headed west with nothing but
kind words for the Red Sox and
their fans.
There’s another contract player
in Boston who is learning the hard
way about how to conduct himself.
You may have read about Ben
Edelman, the Harvard Business
School professor who excoriated
and threatened a mom-and-pop
Chinese restaurant over a $4 discrepancy between their published
menu price and what he was
charged. The matter should have
ended with a simple apology, a
refund and a promise to update
their online prices (which were all
offered by the restaurant) but
instead has ballooned into a “how
not to use your four degrees from
Harvard to interact with humanity.” Using phrases like “to wit,” citing Massachusetts consumer law
and threatening to contact “the
authorities” he attempted to get a
$12 settlement from the business.
The story — and the revelation
that this is not the first local restaurant he has bullied — have made
Mr. Edelman into one of the leastliked people in Boston these days.
Mr. Edelman has a point. No one
deserves to be overcharged for Chinese food, or for a pitcher. But if
there is a lesson to be shared with
his many current and future students, I hope it revolves around
how fair and civil negotiation nets
more in the long run than intimidation and bullying. One thing is
for sure: Jon Lester will never have
to pay for a beer in Boston — while
Mr. Edelman will be lucky to get a
table next to the bathroom.

chocks were nestled into the
side decks, which looked
remarkably clean.
“The Alerion 41’s lines are
uninterrupted by either an
anchoring system or a swim
platform. Rather, the anchor,
anchor roller and windlass all
tuck away in a foredeck locker
… Similarly, the sleek-looking
traditional transom cleverly
transforms into a drop-down
platform for deck showers,
swimming and dinghy access.
The boat’s “helm is designed
for single-handing: you can
steer, trim and adjust the throttle all without standing up,” and
the cockpit is clutter-free.
“When we first cast off, there
were more than a few
snowflakes falling on Narragansett Bay … Once the sails
were up, the boat took off. Her
narrow hull created a forgiving
motion in the light chop …
When the puffs hit, the boat
would heel, load up and then
dig in as the 6ft keel and ballast
bulb asserted themselves. All the
while, the helm remained balanced.”
“We want our sailors to be
able to go out alone for an
hour,” said Alerion’s Scott
Bryant, “and still feel as though
they got a good sail in.”
Paine 14 — a scaled down Herreshoff 12 1/2.
A classic, scaled down
Another of Sail Magazine’s
winners, the Paine 14, owes a
debt of gratitude to the Bristoldesigned and built Herreshoff 12
1/2.
“After 40 years of sailing his
beloved Herreshoff 12 1/2 Petunia, designer Chuck Paine figured he knew what he had to do
to improve what many aficionados call ‘the perfect boat,’” said
the judges.
“His new Paine 14, now being
built by French & Webb in
Belfast, Maine, is 10 percent
smaller than the old 12 1/2 and
40 percent lighter, with modern
appendages and much of its
underbody cut away. Though it
retains all of the charm of its
predecessor, the Paine 14 is considerably faster under sail and
much easier to trailer.”
“Our judges were particularly
impressed with how easy it is to
rig this boat.” The mainsail is
flown from a simple freestanding carbon-fiber mast, and there
is a self-tacking jib.
“Unlike its famous predecessor, the Paine 14 can easily be
sailed under mainsail alone and
is unsinkable.”

Cape Town departure, it seems
like ages ago, so much has happened since.
We led for the best part of a
week, had some rough luck with
doldrums clouds and lost touch,
sailed through the remnants of a
tropical system, stood by for a
stricken Vestas, rejoined the
fleet, passed MAPFRE, lost
MAPFRE, and experienced the
beauty and desolation of the
Middle Eastern waters for the
first time. Sheesh! It feels like
we’ve been out here forever…
In the immediate sense everyone’s a bit miffed as to how
quickly MAPFRE was able to
extend on us and by so much.
Our 5-mile lead turned to a 50mile deficit in about 24 hours.
Disheartening, and tough this
morning to know they were finishing, for sure, but to be honest
I think it happened at a good
time in the sense that we can
have a good rest, wake up, and
give it a proper debrief on shore.
We try to look at these things
as opportunities to learn, to
progress – not to digress. That is
very important for this team.
But for now it’s time to enjoy
the final few hours out here as a
group. We were treated to a
stunning sunrise with Dubai and
it’s mega-skyscrapers on the
horizon, a flotilla of anchored
ships and tankers to dodge
while gazing east.
We’ll hit the docks, reacclimatize after 25 days, and jump
right into the holiday frenzy!
A heartfelt thanks for all of the
encouragement over the last
month. This leg has not been
without it’s drama and we truly
appreciate the support.
Here’s wishing everyone a
Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year from all of us onboard
Team Alvimedica. We’ll see you
in 2015!

FLANIGAN: ‘The Challenges were sobering; cooperation was key’
From Page 1
Flanigan would spend his time
in Liberia visiting hospitals and
clinics, assessing their practices
and infrastructure and training
their personnel in protection and
containment, as well as distributing personal protective equipment (PPE) to the facilities. During his time there he was able to
see his work, and the work of other Liberian and international doctors and aid workers, turn the
course of the epidemic around.
Though Flanigan is optimistic
that the virus, with an 80 percent
reduction in new cases since the
peak of the outbreak, is on its way
to containment in Liberia, he
remains gravely concerned about
other centers, chiefly Guinea and
Sierra Leone, where increasing
numbers of new cases continue to
be reported.
Human infection amplifies Ebola’s impact exponentially. “One
case becomes ten, which becomes
100,” Flanigan says, “within a matter of days.” There are plenty of
reasons why the virus spreads so
readily in humans, but it is particularly virulent in medical settings
and among families. Infection
occurs when a healthy person
contacts the bodily fluids of someone who is actively battling, or has
died, of EVD. “Unlike with other
infectious diseases, a 99 percent
reduction is just not enough,” says
Flanigan. “Ebola needs to be com-
pletely eliminated to avoid ongoing, repeated transmission.”
Whereas an Ebola outbreak in a
developed country like the United
States would be short-lived due to
the medical infrastructure and
ideal practices, Liberia struggles
with a healthcare system that is
overwhelmed in the best of times.
Add conflict, corruption, and mistrust, and people deny their illness
and take it home. “With no
response tools the population
tended to run, hide, and deny,”
says Flanigan. “That spread it further. People were scared of the
stigma.”
He is clear that the next time
Ebola comes to call — and there
will be a next time — it will find far
less hospitable and welcoming
conditions. For one, a rapid diagnostic tool is becoming available
that will allow for faster isolation
of infected individuals, reducing
the opportunity for contagion. A
vaccine is currently in trials, and
should be ready for dissemination
later in 2015. Also, ZMapp, a hightech experimental treatment
using targeted antibodies has
been developed, though was not
produced in enough quantity to
help more than a handful of individuals to date. Finally, awareness
— from the community level on
up to the international level — will
go a long way toward keeping
future Ebola outbreaks contained.
“I’m an optimist,” Flanigan says. “I
Liberian midwives celebrate the acquisition of advanced personal protective equipment, critical to their defense against the Ebola virus.
think we will have some good
therapies in place.”
The community is so much
more well-educated and prepared
today, and many elements of the
international
community
responded late — something that
will hopefully not happen again.
“There is plenty of blame that
needs to be spread around. The
World Health Organization and
the White House both failed to
appreciate what a disaster Liberia
was facing,” Flanigan says. Other
groups, including Doctors Without Borders, the CDC, the Red
Cross, and Catholic Relief Services
were right there, from the begin-
ning.
Dr. Flanigan is glad to be home
in Tiverton after returning via
Rome, where he spent three weeks
discuss the ongoing response
efforts with Catholic relief leadership. But that was not the only reason for his delayed homecoming.
His wife didn’t want him to come
home….at least, not immediately.
“Luba wanted me to stay away
until 21 days had passed,” (21 days
being the standard incubation
period for EVD.) “She didn’t want
me coming straight back home,
going out for a beer or down to
Coffee Roasters,” he said, “and
scaring everyone in Tiverton.”
PET CONFIDENTIAL
A common sense guide to pet-safe holidays
BY DR. LYNN ANNE EVANS
Dear Dr. Evans,
Puppy’s first Christmas! I’m
psyched. But everywhere I look,
there are articles about making
the holidays safe for your pet. Is
Christmas really such a hazard?
—Saint Nick
Dear Nick,
No, it’s not as if the winter holidays are some sort of time bomb
ticking down to blow unsuspecting cats and dogs to red and
green smithereens. But as a pet
lover and a vet, you wouldn’t
believe some of the stories I’ve
heard and things I’ve seen.
■ Like, years before I became a
vet, seeing tinsel emerge from a
very inappropriate part of my
cat’s anatomy.
■ Like Jane and Vicky, two Labs
left unsupervised with a fruitcake.
Which they promptly threw up all
over the rest of the gifts under the
tree, forcing their mom to leave a
note saying they were very sorry.
■ Like the friend who spent
hours decking her halls with pine
boughs and glass ornaments—all
within reach of her very playful
kitten. “Deck the halls with shards
and fragments: fa la la la la...”
Christmas-proofing is almost
100 percent common sense. Any
cat or dog worth its salt is going
to make a concerted effort to
score its share of the goodies this
time of year. It helps if you think
of Rusty as a chocolate-seeking
missile and plan accordingly. If
you have cakes, cookies, or candies to give as gifts, go ahead and
wrap them, but do not leave
them under the tree.
In fact, you might want to
PET OF THE WEEK
Meet Jax
Hi, my name is Jax. My
family could no longer
have me, so I am at the
Warren Animal Shelter. I
am very good with kids,
and I don’t mind other
dogs (I lived with one),
but I would love to have
all of your attention. I am
a neutered male, about 23 years old, and up to date
on shots. I am very playful
and I love to play fetch. I
would love to meet my
new forever family, so
come by the shelter and

baby-gate the pets out of the
room with the tree altogether. A
Christmas tree stand is no proof
against a bouncy Newfoundland.
And even if the tree stays upright,
the water in the stand may contain preservatives or bacteria that
your pet shouldn’t drink. Tinsel,
as I found to my chagrin, is a
tempting, shiny foreign body to a
lot of cats (I got lucky all those
years ago—a merry-and-bright
litterbox, but no intestinal
obstruction). Ribbons on gifts
can cause a similar problem, and
pups can bite through electric
cords on the lights. So the important thing to remember is don’t
allow pets unsupervised access to
the tree.
Be careful, too, about Christmas plants. Mistletoe berries can
be deadly, as can lilies. Pointsettias need to be out of reach. A trip
to the emergency vet on Christmas Eve can Grinch up your
whole holiday.
Simple enough, right? Pour the
eggnog, hang up the (fake plastic)
mistletoe, and go kiss your pet a
Merry Christmas.

POLI-TICKS
T’is the season for civility
A
mong all the salutations
of the season for joy,
peace, and hope, I wonder whether we need to add civility to our holiday’s wishes.
Recent events
make me think
the answer is
yes. Here’s why.
Discussions of
shootings of
unarmed black
Arlene
men.
VIOLET
Certainly, a
national conversation is long
overdue on the issue of race and
what, if any, effect that has on
the administration of justice.
Opinions can differ, particularly
since there is a dearth of data,
but some attitudes coming over
the airwaves can make a person
gasp. A sure “tell” as they say in
card circles, is the pontification
that “I am not a racist but…” followed by a stream of invectives.
The other variation is “I have
black friends …” as a credential
for dissing minorities. What is
particularly disturbing is the
sense of confidence the speaker
has about the rectitude of their
positions with very little scholarship or data to back it up. All
opinions are not created equal
although it seems that anything
goes as “fact.” My late mother,
although not the author of the
phrase, used to remind us that
we had two eyes and ears to see
and listen but only one mouth
to speak, so her children should
spend twice as much time
observing and listening as
speaking.
Discussions about President
Barack Obama.
Certainly, it is fair game for citizens to disagree with politicians,
including the President, but I
think the attacks on Obama are
far more personal. Take the
recent example of a now departed
republican congressional staffer
who lectured the president’s
daughters. She ended her scolding with the observation that the
daughters’ “‘parents don’t respect
their positions very much’…so
I’m guessing you’re coming up a
little short in the ‘good role model’ department.”
PLEASE! You can differ with the
president’s positions on issues
until the cows come home, but
the First Family’s image seems
worthy of emulation. The chil-
dren have not gotten into any
trouble and the first lady’s
embrace of healthy eating and
veterans’ families are praiseworthy. There is not a scintilla of evidence that the President is other
than a fine family man.
A lot of other garbage has been
tossed at the President. The
smear about his birth, even after
the production of his birth certificate continues unabated today. In
the December 4 issue of the New
York Times, contributing op-ed
writer Timothy Egan sagaciously
notes that it’s one thing to make
fun of Nancy’s Reagan’s designer
dresses but quite another thing to
make fun of Michelle Obama’s
rear end as the Republican congressman, James Sensenbrenner
tastelessly did in trying to discredit her Let’s Move Initiative.
This type of mean spiritedness
needs to exit the public discourse.
In fact, it is a distraction from
debate on the merits. Perhaps if
we spoke less about people and
their personal characteristics we’d
actually stop such offensive gestures as Arizona’s governor, Jan
Brewer, wagging her finger at
President Obama while lecturing
him on the airport tarmac. The
lack of respect for his office by
this behavior as well as the gutter
swipes all lead to a Beavis and
Butthead political climate.
So, as this holiday season urges
us to extend “good will to men”
maybe we can begin with a little
civility on the above matters.
BOOK REVIEW
Three mystery-thrillers; one local
Rogue Island
By Bruce DeSilva
The novel “Rogue Island” is s-oo-o- very, very Rhode Island — not
surprising since our “Ocean State”
is indeed the setting for this rollicking crime
thriller by firsttime author
Bruce DeSilva.
Our main character is the wiseDonna DeLeo cracking, irreverent, veteran,
BRUNO
investigative
reporter named Liam Mulligan,
and in this story his current
assignment is a series of arsonrelated fires. It is personal to him
because all are centered around a
certain area of Providence where
he grew up: Doyle Ave., Catalpa
Rd., Larch St., Camp St., Olney St.,
Locust, Cypress, Knowles, Ivy, It
becomes more personal when the
fires begin to claim the lives of
people close to him, including a
beloved female fire chief, his
favorite high school teacher, a
young set of twins. The tale
becomes more intense when he
realizes that some individuals do
not want him to continue probing
for answers. To complicate matters, the two chief arson investigators (to which he refers as “Dumb
and Dumber”) seem to thwart his
every lead each time he brings
them tips. As he begins to put the
pieces of the puzzle together, his
life is threatened. Not only is this a
page-turning narrative, but it is so
entertainingly funny, I found
myself laughing out loud at his
accurate portrayal of the dialect of
certain Rhode Islanders: “Ats wut I
bin sayin”; “Shut up, daboatayuz”;
“We kin take my cah tuh Caserduz
if I kin fine my kahkis”. In addition
to Caserta’s Pizzaria on Federal
Hill, a native will recognize many
local places and characters:
Camille’s Restaurant, Vinny
Pazienza, the Independent Man
atop the Capitol building, Rhode
Island Hospital, Silver Lake, Providence College, Blackstone Valley,
Brown University and the East
Side, Del’s Lemonade, and the
Providence River. In addition to
familiarity with local people and
places, DeSilva is also familiar
with — and mocks — charges that
have been leveled against Rhode
Island for decades: political
patronage, nepotism, corruption,
payoffs and bribes, the advantage
of personal connections to get a
job — that “one hand washes the
other,” so to speak. In fact, he
goes so far as to say “graft is Rhode
Island’s leading service industry.”
This is all tied in to the story that
reads at times like a Dennis
Lehane or Harlan Coben suspense
novel, but much more amusing
with many more colorful characters. However, the book is peopled
with bookies, strippers, thugs —
certainly not your most sophisticated or upright citizens — and
the dialogue is “salty” and crude at
times. Nevertheless, it definitely
holds your interest up to the last
page; and those with a sense of
humor and tolerance for some
coarse language are likely to find it
hilarious.
Missing You
By Harlan Coben
Mystery-thriller writer Harlan
Coben is at it again with as convoluted a plot as he has ever concocted. In “Missing You” we have
the murder of a veteran NYPD cop
and his daughter Kat’s obsession
to unearth the reason for his
death. At the same time she is
reunited with her ex-fiance Jeff
who mysteriously walked out on
her l8 years ago following this
tragedy. Did these two events have
any connection? Kat sets out to
investigate when she is contacted
by a young boy, Brandon Phelps,
whose mother has suddenly disappeared after signing onto a web
site called YouAreJustMyType.com.
As a result Kat, herself a policewoman, is trying to unearth
answers in both situations. As for
her Dad, she has always suspected
some mob involvement, but as
she digs relentlessly Kat comes up
with more questions than
answers. His long absences away
from home, which her mother has
always refused to acknowledge,
lead Kat to a shocking discovery
about her father. As to the disap-
pearance of Brandon’s mom, Dana
Phelps, it turns out that she is not
the only patron of “YouAreJustMyType.com who is missing and
whose bank accounts show suspicious withdrawals and money
transfers after what is believed to
be their abductions.
There are some odd characters here — transvestites, psychopaths, and underworld figures.
There are fights, assaults, arson,
weapons, torture, chase scenes,
man-hunts, improvised underground prison chambers, as well
as a gruesome and bloody attack
with an axe. For fans of “ New York
Times Bestselling Author” Harlan
Coben, this latest novel will be a
ride of thrills, but for me it was all
a bit much — too much gore, too
much weirdness, too many characters with double identities —
very confusing. The best aspect of
this book was Coben’s choice of
title with its double meaning,
“missing you,” since Brandon
missed his mom; Kat, her Dad and
her long lost love Jeff; and there
were so many kidnapped who literally were missing.
Keep Quiet
By Lisa Scottoline
One split-second decision.
That’s all it takes to turn Jake
Buckman’s life and that of his family upside down. From the
moment on one dark night when
he allows his son Ryan, who only
has a driver’s permit, to exchange
places with him behind the wheel
for a short trip home, their lives
are changed forever. This is a suspenseful tale with many surprises,
the type of mystery story for
which “ New York Times” bestselling author Lisa Scottoline is
best known. Jake intended this
gesture to help him connect to
Ryan who has become distant, but
he could never have imagined the
nightmare of lies and deception
into which this would plunge both
of them, as well as his beloved
wife Pam. The plot begins when
father and son leave the scene of
an accident after finding a teenage
girl dead, believing they were the

CLIMBING THE FAMILY TREE
Should you join a lineage society? Yes, it sharpens research skills

went to a Massachusetts
Society of Genealogists,
Bristol Chapter, meeting
that covered joining lineage
societies and I’ve heard speakers
at other conferences discuss
how to join groups such at the
Mayflower Society, Daughters of
the American Revolution and
Sons of the American Revolu-
tion.
Initially, I wasn’t interested,
but I think it’s important to keep
records alive in any way you can
and these groups maintain
important information and
allow other petitioners to build
on it.
And, it will force me to fully
research particular family lines
because the standards of these
societies are so meticulous. You
have to get primary source documentation or multiple secondary sources that corroborate
your claim. But, they also have
many lines already proven by
other members that you can
use.
I have four New England Revolutionary soldiers that I know
of, but only recently started
working on the New York side of
my tree and was curious about
my fourth great-grandfather,
Matthew St. John, who was a
member of the 5th Regiment,
New York.
A published genealogy said he
was at the Battle of Plattsburg
(in 1814, during the War of
1812). But a footnote said he was
“Missing, Oct. -, 1777” in one of
the muster rolls. Where to begin?
One of the best features of the
Internet is the ability to search
for just about anything. When I
Googled “Fifth Regiment, New
York,” I got the site for the Fifth
Regiment Re-enactors. They
have a history of the regiment
and describe the soldiers’ uniforms, weapons and more. The
regiment fought the British at
forts Montgomery and Clinton
on Oct. 6, 1777, and of 312 soldiers, 98 were killed or captured.
Apparently, Matthew was just
wounded, because he lived to
fight in the War of 1812, had five
children and died at the age of
95.
Another Revolutionary War
soldier Adna Penniman, born in
1755, is my fourth great-grandfather. He was from New Hamp-

shire and was a private with
Capt. Joseph Chapin’s Company
of Minutemen, which marched
on the alarm of April 19, 1775.
Then he was a lieutenant and
2nd lieutenant in the 3rd N.H.
Regiment from 1776 to 1781. I
got lots of details on him from
his military pension file.
If you want to see what dates
and places are involved to place
your ancestors in the picture,
the History Place has a timeline
at www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/revwar75.htm that covers from 1775 to
1783. And, there are lots of historical timelines online you can
find with a search engine.
An easy way to find your Revolutionary War ancestors is to
use the Daughters of the American Revolution site at
www.dar.org. Click on Genealogy in the bar across the top. The
site has lots of tips for starting
research, too, and info on how to
become a member. In the
Ancestor Database, type in a
name and see if any members
have already done research on
your ancestor. It’s not a comprehensive list and new names are
being added all the time.
When I put Adna Penniman
into the search engine, I discovered his father-in-law, John
Moulton, also listed as a patriot.
This was new information. And,
I could see five generations leading from John to the applicant
for DAR membership.
At fold3.com, military records
range from the Revolutionary
War to the Vietnam War. The site
has over 437 million original
documents that also include
non-military records, the 1860
and 1930 U.S. Census and city
directories. You can get a sevenday free trial and a subscription
is $7.95 for a month or $79.95 a
year.
If you have a Mayflower
ancestor, check out the copious
records on the New England
Historic Genealogical Society
(NEHGS) website or library in
Boston (americanancestors.org)
or on ancestry.com. Both are
paid sites, but well worth the
money if they have what you
want. Check them out.
The NEHGS site has a Great
Migration series with extensive
info on passengers who arrived
here in New England from 1620
to 1635.
For Civil War ancestors, there
are many sites, but start with the
special listing of Union Civil War
veterans from 1890. Although
the U.S. Census was largely
destroyed that year, the veterans
census (and their widows)
remains. It’s on ancestry.com.
Also check the National Park
Service’s Civil War Soldiers and
Sailors Systems. It’s free at
www.civilwar.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.cfm. It’s got records on 6.3
million soldiers from both sides
of the conflict.
For veterans, the U.S. Federal
Censuses are a help. The 1840
census lists pensioners for Revolutionary or military service. The
1900 census lists war veterans,
and the 1910 census indicates
survivors of the Union or Confederate Army or Navy.
The Family History Library
(www.familysearch.org) is a
wonderful free resource. They
have county, state and national
Civil War pension records. Click
on “Records” and then “Browse
All Published Collections” near
the map, and then on “Military”
under Collections.
The National Archives
(www.archive.gov) is probably
the most complete source for
military records. Compiled service records are a treasure trove
of information for any genealogist.
Try local libraries and historical societies. Many keep lists of
veterans from different wars.

COMMENTARY
Durian defeats home cook in 3rd round K.O.
BY CHRIST Y NADALIN
[email protected]
I
have been defeated by a
piece of fruit. I’m trying not
to be too hard on myself. No
thin-skinned grape nor easilybruised banana got the best of me.
I wasn’t knocked out of the game
by a delicate clementine or
kumquat, nor am I deterred by
hirsute kiwis or pomelos, with
their pachyderm peels. I’ve even
braved the Noni, a tropical tree
fruit that ripens from a pleasant
green to a jaundiced gray, developing an unsettling flavor reminiscent of extra strong provolone.
But I was brought to my knees
by the mighty durian, King of
Fruits.
Painfully sharp spikes cover its
dull brown skin, a stark warning to
all who would even contemplate
touching it. In polite society, this
vegetarian answer to the porcupine comes restrained in plastic
mesh, with an attached handle for
easy transport. It took years for me
to muster the nerve to buy one,
and when I hoisted this intimidating fruit into my cart I felt a little
like the hapless corrections officer
in “Silence of the Lambs” who was
charged with transporting Hannibal Lecter, masked, restrained and
lashed to a handcart.
The durian is native to Southeast Asia and grows on trees as
outsized as you might expect from
such an intimidating fruit. The yellow to red flesh, said to “taste like
heaven and smell like hell” looks
unnervingly like a diseased organ
packed into an abdominal cavity.
The taste I cannot speak to. The
smell? Claim it smells like hell and
I think you might risk Lucifer
suing you for slander. Successfully.
Durian eaters are like snowboarders: once you get past the
learning curve and can carve successive turns without breaking
your tailbone, you are hooked (or
so I hear). Indeed, brave souls who
have gotten past the smell have
described the flesh as having an
indescribably delicious flavor. I so
badly wanted to join their ranks.
Singapore, a nation of famously
austere regulations regarding gum,
spitting and other habits, has
banned durian in subways and
trains, hotels and other public
facilities. That alone should have
called me off. Undeterred by reason and an awareness of my own
personal limitations, I ventured
out to purchase a durian. My
quest led me to Kam Man, a massive Asian supermarket outside
Boston — a favorite destination
for known entities: packets of
instant miso soup, rice vermicelli,
baby bok choy. I love Asian food —
but I love it the way I love lamb
and foie gras. I would like someone else to prepare it, and if any of
the ingredients involve fermented
animal products, or are making it
to the table with their eyes intact,
please keep me in the dark. Like
many Americans, raised on
casseroles solidified with cream of
something soup and anchored in
egg noodles, if I am not careful to
avert my eyes, a meandering trip
through an exotic market can
quickly turn into a bad episode of
“Fear Factor.”
My durian (along with its lessexotic bagmates), made it home
with little fanfare and assumed a
position on the kitchen counter,
adjacent to the banana/apple/
pear/mango-laden fruit bowl; yet
separate, like the out-sized, oddlooking, funny-smelling fruit that
it is. I told myself it needed time to
ripen. As if I’d know that when I
saw it.
Dean, my husband who sometimes enters the kitchen, has some
very definitive views regarding

cause. Their guilt, remorse, and
anxiety are relentless during the
days following when they attempt
to set things right and own up to
their actions. Both are legally
liable, and each is willing to sacrifice his life in prison for the other,
but Ryan refuses to let his father
take the blame. What complicates
matters is that Pam is nominated
that same week for a prestigious
judgeship, an honor and position
she has striven for all her years on
the bench. This will require
intense investigation of the entire
family by police, the attorney general, as well as the FBI.
Jake and Ryan’s anguish, depression, and fear is so well-described
by the author as to feel almost palpable to the reader. Your heart
races with theirs as they are questioned by the police; you are sickened as they are when they need
to pass the spot of the accident
with its makeshift memorials
placed by her classmates; you
become distressed too when they
realize their actions have jeopardized Pam’s entire career for
which she has worked so hard.
Haunting their every moment is
the realization that if they confess,
Jake could spend years in prison
and Ryan in a juvenile detention
facility, ending all hope of going to
college on a basketball scholarship. Their final decision will be
affected by many factors: A blackmailer who witnessed the “accident,” a predator stalking the
teenage victim, her affair with the
high school coach, and Pam’s
unexpected actions to sacrifice her
career in order to save her husband and son. You will not be disappointed by this page-turning
novel with its many twists and
turns, culminating in a very satisfying conclusion.

Bristolian and a retired teacher of

her time between Bristol and Ft.
Lauderdale, Fla., where she gives
book reviews at the local library as

clubs. Some of her most enjoyable
and relaxing hours are spent reading
a book beneath the shade of a tree at
the foot of Walley Street with the sun
sparkling its reflection on the water.

the phrase “you need to pay more
attention to the needs of the fruits
and vegetables” has earned itself a
permanent spot in the family lexicon. So a fruit with an aroma that
Tony Bourdain claims leaves your
breath smelling (to paraphrase)
like you have been kissing something dead, was not destined to
retain its prominent seat for very
long. Yet for days the durian sat
intact, on my counter.
I meant to do it in, even held the
knifepoint over the thing on more
than one occasion, prodding the
spiky rind with its tip. Yet the fact
that I never unwrapped it tells me
I never had any doubt as to which
way the wind was blowing. Clearly,
anything that smells this foul
sealed is not going to smell better
when it has been shaken and
stirred. Even in regions of the
country where road kill is on the
menu, nobody eats skunk.
And so the durian lived on our
kitchen counter, mocking me with
its evil-looking spines and undeniably evil body odor. After about a
week, it was relocated to the top of
the basement stairs, where it
stayed another week, presumably
eradicating any termites, powderpost beetles or resident rodents.
Its final stop on the road to the
landfill saw it suspended from a
hook, still in its plastic mesh jacket, from the arbor outside my back
door.
Ultimately, fearing the odor
would attract the state police,
armed with a search warrant, my
head was forced to concede what
my heart knew when I first read
how the rule makers in Singapore
dealt with durian. There was no
way this thing was going down my
hatch.
For all the drama I attributed to
this process, the disposal of the
body was remarkably uneventful.
With trash day still several days
away, I decided that transporting
the durian to the transfer station
myself was the most prudent
course of action. Grateful as
always to have access to a pickup
truck when having to transport
especially onerous cargo, I steered
up the incline adjacent to an enormous, empty dumpster. I climbed
into the bed of the truck and
retrieved the durian, grasping the
same handle I used to load it into
my grocery cart with such excitement and expectation some three
weeks earlier. The durian landed
loudly in the dumpster, resonating
with a solidity that belied its putrid
odor. The echo of durian on
dumpster sounded like waste and
failure. The attendant heard, and
seeing that I had just gone to the
trouble of bringing a “load” roughly the size of a rugby ball to the
transfer station, cocked an eye as if
to suggest that yes, my license and
description was definitely going to
get recorded in his daily log.
“It’s a durian,” I said weakly. “If
this were Singapore, you’d understand.”

HEALTHY EATING
O
Butter in my coffee?
ne of the newest trends
is adding butter to your
coffee instead of cream
and sugar. Where and how did
this trend start?
“Bulletproof coffee” is a phrase
coined by Dave Asprey. He started adding 1-2 tablespoons of
grass-fed butter and 1 tablespoon
coconut oil to his coffee in the
morning. He
found that he
had more energy and was less
hungry during
the day. He also
says that it
helped him to
Emily
lose weight.
DELCONTE Now, “bulletproof coffee”
can be found in many coffee
shops.
People argue that using grassfed butter gives you more hearthealthy fats than regular butter.
Even if grass-fed butter has more
heart healthy fats, it still has a lot
of saturated (“bad”) fats. In fact,
the butter and coconut oil in this
coffee would give you more than
your daily recommendation of
saturated fat.
Can adding butter to your coffee really give you more energy?
It’s unlikely. Can it help with
weight loss? The important piece
to note is that by adding 2-3
tablespoons of fat to your cup of
coffee, you are drinking 200-300
calories! Adding in extra calories
won’t help with weight loss.

BUMPS ON EYELIDS
That small bump that sometimes
appears on either the upper or lower
eyelid is caused by a blocked oil gland.
A “chalazion” usually disappears in
about a month without treatment.
However, most patients seek treatment
when a chalazion is large enough to
block vision or looks unsightly. The
bump that characterizes a chalazion is
caused by a blockage in the
Meibomian gland on the eyelid, which
produces oil in both the upper and
lower eyelids. Chalazia are sometimes
confused with styes, which, unlike chalazia, are caused by infections and are
usually painful. In addition, chalazia are
usually found away from the edge of
the eyelid while styes are most often
found right on the eyelid edge.
From symptoms to treatment to pre-
vention, get the basics on vision problems from our experts. We stress preventive health care for the entire family.
Don’t take chances with your vision.
Let us help you protect your eyesight;
call us at 247-2015 to schedule an
appointment. Our goal is to provide
cost-efficient eye care to all of our
patients in a compassionate and friendly manner. We’re located at 24
Bosworth
Street,
Barrington
Shopping Center, Barrington.
P.S. Home care for a chalazia includes
a warm compress to the eyelid several
times a day for about ten minutes at a
time. If the chalazion does not heal
after treatment, it can be surgically
removed.

MEET ROBIN LOZITO: E. PROVIDENCE NATIVE, BELLRINGER, REALTOR
BY JOAN D. WARREN
R
obin Lozito and her husband, Frank, both grew up
in East Providence and
moved to Seekonk about
14 years ago. She is the
proud mother of two children. Her son,
Eric, is a freshman at Bristol
Community College. Her daughter,
Kerri, is married with two children,
Olivia, 4, and Reece, 7 months old.
Robin is very close with her daughter,
but she moved to North Carolina a few
years ago. She loves being a grandmother, and she and her husband visit
them as often as possible. She got her
real estate license in 2003 and has been
with RE/MAX since 2005.
WHY REAL ESTATE AS A CAREER?
"I first got the itch when Michelle
Cartwright, my broker, sold my house at
the first open house she had. I later got
my license and joined her team. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor."
WHAT DID YOU DO BEFORE REAL
ESTATE? "I worked in advertising sales
at the Providence Journal. Was there for
15 years."
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT
IT? "I love working with first-time buyers. It's so rewarding to be a part of their
first home purchase and share in their
excitement. But most important to me
are the relationships being formed with
all my clients. When they contact you
years later to resell or refer a friend or
family member, it's the best feeling."
HOLIDAY FAMILY TRADITION:
"Christmas Eve has always been a family favorite. Since the kids moved, we
moved our celebration to North
Carolina. There's no place I'd rather be
at Christmas!"
HOBBIES: "Is shopping a hobby? LOL.
I love helping design and stage the
homes my husband flips. It's amazing to
see the transformation."
BUCKET LIST: "I honestly don't have
one, but I've always wanted to go to
Portugal. Gotta get working on that!"
VOLUNTEER WORK: "I enjoy when
our office volunteers to be bell ringers
for Salvation Army. It's wonderful to
see how generous people are, especially
around the holidays."
WHERE DO YOU GO TO RELAX?
"The beach or my parents' home in Fort
Myers."
ADVICE FOR SELLERS: "Price is
key! Also be open to staging suggestions. Remember a buyer will form an
opinion of your home in seconds, so
make that first impression a good one."
PETS: "I have two dogs, Sam & Riley.
Sam is a Schnoodle, and Riley is a
Doxi-poo. Both poodle mix and
adorable."
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION? "Make
more time for me!"

Loan rates based on $100,000 with 20% down payment & no PMI. Variable mortgages listed are for 30 years, adjusted annually. Points are a one-time charge equal to one percent of the mortgage. APR stands for annual
percentage rate and reflects closing costs spread over the life of the loan. CAP is the most a variable mortgage can increase in one year. Savings and loans and Rhode Island loan and investment banks are included in the bank section of this chart. These rates, provided by the institutions on Monday of this week, are subject to change or special conditions. For more information, consumers are advised to call the institution. First-time homebuyers may qualify for lower-rate mortgages from the Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation. Many
credit unions only grant loans to members and limit membership to a defined group. When shopping for mortgage rates ask for explanation of closing costs.
