VFW post surrenders its charter
Dwindling membership
seals fate for
veterans group
BY JOSH BICKFORD
[email protected]
The war is over.
The battle to keep alive the
Thomas H. Mellow Memorial VFW
Post 9742 ended late last month.
After struggling for months to
build membership and failing to
consolidate with another local
group, members of the 66-yearold VFW post decided instead to
surrender their charter.
Bill Groves, the post’s commander, said that following a February
vote he drafted and mailed the
official letter to the national headquarters.
“It’s sad,” said Mr. Groves, an
Army veteran of the Vietnam War.
“We had been trying to merge
with another post. We visited a
couple of posts, but we found that
they were not as active as we
would like. Some had financial
problems.”
Mr. Groves said VFW Post 9742
had 46 members on paper, but
only a handful
of men — four
or five — who
regularly
attended meetings. Often, the
post failed to
draw enough
members for a
quorum. Only
Bill Groves
five members
are needed for
a quorum.
“Six was a convention,” joked
Bart Stanzione, an Army veteran
of the Vietnam War.
Mr. Stanzione is upset about the
end of VFW Post 9742, but said he
understands why it is happening.
Each year, each day, veterans of
World War II, Korea and Vietnam
pass away, depleting the club
membership. At the same time,
younger veterans — men who
served in Kuwait, Iraq or
Afghanistan conflicts — are not
joining up. The local post has
often paid the membership dues
for the new veterans, but the men
rarely attend a single meeting.
Mr. Stanzione does not feel any
resentment to the younger veter-
$1.00
ans. He can recall when he was
fresh out of service from Vietnam
and needed to focus his time elsewhere.
“Most of us didn’t join (the VFW)
for another 30 years,” he said.
“They’ve got a life to build, a job, a
family.”
Mr. Stanzione said it was not
until he grew older, when his boys
were out of the house and retirement was around the corner, that
he decided to join the VFW.

A new computer technician, a
part-time employee for the police
department, and more hours for
the town’s human resources position are a few of the reasons this
year’s budget shows a 1.94 percent
increase.
Overall, the proposed budget
includes a $330,689 increase over
last year’s numbers, totaling about
$17.36 million.
Following is a breakdown of
some of the costs fueling the
increases — and decreases — in
the proposed budget:
■ Pensions — $94,895 increase.
According to the budget narrative
drafted by Barrington Town Manager Peter DeAngelis, the town is
facing a 9.29 percent increase in
pension contributions. “This
number reflects the original gains
of pension reform and will
increase, in future years with the
mediated settlement or a successful union legal challenge,” Mr.
DeAngelis wrote.
■ Police — $53,069 increase.
The Barrington Police Department is in currently participating
in an accreditation process, which
reportedly requires the services of
a part-time officer to help. The
officer comes at a cost of about
$20,000; the current police force is
also due a 2 percent increase in
salaries as part of their contract
with the town.
■ Computer — $52,220
increase. The municipal government and school department are
Capital budget
Last year the town’s capital budget totaled $926,000. This year, it’s
down to $925,500. Following is a look at some of the items included in
the capital budget:
■ Police auto replacement: $60,000
■ Police equipment: $15,000
■ Fire apparatus: $100,000
■ Comp plan initiatives: $30,000
■ Library computers: $4,000
■ Landfill monitoring, env. issues: $105,000
■ Town hall computer tech. fund: $50,000
■ Software, assessor’s office: $15,000
■ Town reval: $195,000
■ Scanning documents: $8,500
■ Harbormaster equipment: $13,000
■ Energy planning: $30,000
■ Streetscape improvements: $250,000
Combined budget information
The municipal budget is one part of the total annual combined budget. This year’s total combined budget is $60,359,127 or an increase of
$995,711. That equals a 1.68 percent increase over the current budget.
Here is a closer look at the proposed combined budget costs:
Municipal budget: $17,362,757
Municipal capital: $925,500
School budget (not including revenue, surplus and capital):
$42,070,870
Total combined: $60,359,127
What it means to you
How will the new budgets impact your tax bill. If the combined budget
passes as proposed, it would result in a 27 cent increase on the present
tax rate, which is $18.20 (per $1,000 of assessed value).

What is not included in this year’s budget?
About $43 million
in potential projects
await taxpayers
The proposed municipal budget included a section that asked
the question “What is not included in this budget?” In short, some
important information is not
included, specifically downtown
streetscape improvements, a new
middle school, a new community
center and library renovations.
When tallied together, the price
tags for the various projects equal
about $43 million. Here’s a closer
look at the information:
■ Screetscape: The planning
board is reportedly recommending some downtown streetscape
improvements, which will cost
approximately $1.6 million. The
town’s capital budget includes
$250,000 in “seed money” and at
its March 3 meeting, the town
council endorsed the project and
“expressed interest in funding the
entire amount in the upcoming
fiscal year.” The narrative states
that in order to do so, more discussions are needed with the

committee on appropriations to
explore various funding options.
■ Middle school: “The school
committee has determined that
the middle school needs to be
replaced,” stated the budget narrative. That project would reportedly cost $36 million, which
would add $2.8 million annually
to debt service for 20 years. However, the narrative states that if the
project receives school housing
aid of 35 percent — a reimbursement of funds from the state to
the town — the debt service
would about $1.82 million. “The
school administration should be
asked to provide appropriations
with an update regarding the status of this project.”
■ Community center: Local
officials are also discussing the
idea of building a community
center at an approximate cost of
$3 to $5 million.
■ Library renovations: According to the narrative, the library
director is proposing future interior renovations which would cost
$1.25 million.
Barrington Times March 19, 2014 Page 5
BUDGET: $53K more for police
From FACING PAGE
discussing potential consolidation of IT services, but according
to the budget narrative school “it
is apparent that they (school officials) do not have sufficient
resources to cover the municipal
needs.” The proposed municipal
budget includes $50,000 for a
computer technician position.
■ Board of canvassers —
$13,952 increase. The town is
anticipating the additional costs
to cover the primary and general
election this year.
■ Solicitor — $13,500 increase.
The town has budgeted $163,500
for the town solicitor, which covers legal services, criminal prosecution, zoning, litigation costs,
labor and grievance arbitrations.
This year the town aims to
increase funding for some of
those line items. “It has been a
number of years since the solicitor
budget has been increased,” stated the narrative. “Held flat for
many years, it has been adjusted
to reflect recent trends.”
■ Miscellaneous — $17,001
increase. This includes $10,000 for
professional development, specifically the participation of four
town employees in the Leadership
Matters initiative. That program’s
goal is to help local public leaders
“achieve outcomes that improve
capacity and efficiency in serving
the citizens of their towns.”
■ Government center utilities
— $8,300 increase. The town is
anticipating additional costs for
higher maintenance agreements
and increased utility costs.
■ Human resources — $7,738
increase. The human resources
position is part-time, and will
remain so, but with additional
hours added.
Decreases
Both debt principal and debt
interest are anticipated to
decrease over the coming year.
Debt principal is reportedly due to
drop by about $13,000, while the
interest will lower by about
$40,000.
“Additional debt service is
reduced and no additional debt is
proposed,” stated the narrative.

Ask Dr. Kerwin
THE HOME DENTAL FIRST-AID KIT
Q: What items should be in a home dental first-aid kit?
A: Right on top should be the phone
number of your dentist. In case of emergency, you want to get to your dentist as
soon as possible. But assuming your
dentist is not immediately available, here
are some items you should have at home
to deal with emergencies: Sterile gauze
pads in case you have to staunch bleeding from a cut; a mild pain reliever like
aspirin or acetaminophen to help get you
through the early stages of a toothache;
an over-the-counter topical anesthetic
ointment or liquid, like Anbesol or
Campho-Phenique, to use on mouth
sores; dental wax, which you can get
from your dentist or at a pharmacy, and is
helpful for covering a protruding, irritating
wire from orthodontia, or to temporarily
cover the jagged edge of a chipped tooth;
and table salt and baking soda, either of
which you can dissolve in warm water to
make a soothing mouthwash to address
pain in the mouth or a toothache.
You can also make an effective cold pack
by putting ice cubes in a plastic bag and
then putting the bag inside a damp dishtowel. Fifteen minutes on; fifteen minutes
off. Generally for a dental emergency, you
want to see your dentist. But if the dentist
is not available and you think the situation
is serious, also have in the kit the location
of the nearest hospital emergency room.
Talk with your dentist about what you
should have at home to deal with a dental emergency.

Big ticket projects
cast dark shadow
on budget
S
hould we be nervous?
Included in this year’s municipal budget packet — but not included in the budget itself — is
$43 million worth of new projects. The future
work includes a new middle school, a new
community center, improvements to the library and
streetscape improvements for the downtown area. (There
is a more detailed breakdown of the projects on page 5.)
As worthy as those projects appear, and some of them
are quite worthy, it becomes a bit frightening for someone
living paycheck to paycheck or on a fixed income to consider the potential tax increases they could face.
Already Barrington is saddled with a tax rate of $18.20
per $1,000 of assessed property value. That means someone with a home valued at about $300,000 (picture a modest house on a smallish sized lot), pays more than $5,000 a
year in taxes.
That’s not chump change.
This year’s proposed budget — the one without the $43
million worth of improvements — would increase taxes by
about 30 cents on the

ees. It also covers
increases in pension
costs, additional hours for current part-time employees
and the hiring of new help. Some of these increases are
one-time hits against the budget, while others are designed
to become reoccurring costs.
Right now, the committee on appropriations is reviewing
the proposed budgets and will offer its recommendations
prior to the financial town meeting. Maybe those requests
make the cut. Maybe they don’t.
Either way, we’re hoping town officials keep an eye on
those pricey future projects while budgeting for the current
year’s fiscal needs.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Why should we legalize ‘stink weed?’
To the editor:
I have a new reason to oppose
the legalization of marijuana in
Rhode Island. It stinks!
Recently there has been a
noticeable effort by some in the
media, and in government, to
enumerate the potential benefits
to society, mainly tax revenue,
that would result from legalizing
the sale and use of recreational
marijuana.
The advocates preach that it is
really not as bad as other forms of
sensory numbing products, like
tobacco and alcohol. And, of
course, it would not encourage
advancement to more dangerous
drugs.
At the same time we read about
the noble decision by the CVS
drugstore chain to eliminate the
sale of cigarettes beginning in
October (why not immediately?)
in order to remove the lethal danger of nicotine from its shelves.
There now seems to be a great
inconsistency
in
attitude
towards tobacco and marijuana.
Tobacco is being demonized.
Marijuana is being tolerated, if
not encouraged. However, no
one points out the fact that both
substances, when burned in cigarette form, simply smell terrible.
Laws have been passed to prohibit smoking cigarettes in public places, even in the open air,
where the passing population
might be offended. Of course,
there are still many places and
opportunities where cigarette
addicts can “grab a smoke.” Our
nostrils reveal that fact frequently when we are out and about.
So why should society be subjected to another form of stink
weed? Will marijuana smokers
restrict its use to the interior of
their home premises? Of course
not.
I do not attempt to join the
forces that oppose marijuana for
health or social reasons. They are
sufficiently represented. I offer a
more fundamental reason.
Marijuana stinks!

Blessed to see students helping others
To the editor:
The Barrington Middle School
recently held a snack bag drive
for Amos House, a soup kitchen
in Providence. Mrs. Oswald, a
math teacher at the middle
school, spearheaded the project
along with parents Jennifer
Sapolsky and Maura Fay.
Throughout the week various
snacks were donated schoolwide and brown lunch paper
bags were lovingly decorated
with encouraging messages.
Then a group of students gathered after school to assemble the
snack bags and pack them into
boxes bound for Amos House.
Each snack bag contained a bag
of chips, a granola bar, a juice
box and an apple.
What I witnessed both at the
school and as we delivered the
snack bags was incredible. The
children worked selflessly and
enthusiastically to get the job
done. The group that went to
Amos House listened intently as
Jessica, director of development,
talked to them about the purpose of a soup kitchen, who eats
at Amos House and even gave
them a tour of the kitchen. She
explained to us that these snack
bags would be handed out to
people who come to Amos
House for breakfast or lunch for
them to eat later on in the day.
We also learned that the snack
bag may be all that the individu-
als have to eat for the rest of the
day.
I feel blessed to have been part
of the group and to have witnessed our youth in action, working selflessly and doing good!
Jessica, from Amos House,
reported to us that they are in
great need of toiletries, travel size
and regular size. Next month the
plan is to collect and deliver the
needed toiletry items-razors,
shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc. If you are
interested in making a donation of
these items please contact Jennifer
Sapolsky

Visitor builds ‘Fort Johnson’ on Nayatt
Andrew Johnson was visiting his grandparents, the Griefers on Nayatt Road, recently and was so
impressed with the amount of snow in town that he decided to put it to good use. The young Arlington,
Va. resident started piling up the chunks of snow until he had completed construction on his own snow
fort. “With ambition like this, he should go far,” wrote Andrew’s grandfather, Burton Griefer.
COLUMN
I
Church and breakfast fix what ails you
have been sitting beside my
parents inside the church
for years.
When my brother and sister
and I were little, we would go to
an early morning Mass on Sundays. We would
dress in our best
clothes and pile
into the station
wagon and talk
about breakfast
or baseball or
school on the
Josh
short drive to the
BICKFORD pretty little
church on Washington Road.
We would find a pew, somewhere toward the middle of the
church, and do our best to sit still
for the hour or so that the priest’s
voice filled the room. Then it was
off to breakfast.
My father must have enjoyed
listening to our stomachs growl,
because he picked a restaurant in
Attleboro to drive to following
Mass. By the time we arrived, my
brother and I were ready to eat
the menus. We settled for scrambled eggs and sausages and hash
browns that the restaurant called
‘roundabouts.’ They were tiny
and deep fried and delicious.
There was nothing that Sunday
morning Mass and a hearty
breakfast could not fix. Not an
overdue book report or a painful
called third strike or a bad day of
tadpole hunting at the frog pond.
That great start to the day was
often followed by a long day of
footing a ladder while my father
painted the trim on the house or
holding a flashlight under the
kitchen sink while he jiggered
with the plumbing.
When we grew older, we
begged our parents to let us sleep
in on Sundays. We asked them to
pick a later Mass and sometimes
we talked them into going to
church on Saturday nights at 5. If
we were running late, and we
were often running late, my parents would take us to a small
church in Providence for the 6
p.m. Mass. It was called St. Francis, I think, and was located on
the first floor of a tall cement
building.
There were no windows at St.
Francis and sometimes men who
smelled like motor oil and old
onions sat in the pews, looking
more asleep than solemn. Their
presence did little to bother me
and seemed a fair trade for what
was usually a shorter service.
Thirty or thirty-five minutes after
entering St. Francis, we were on
our way out again.
I churched alone during college
(when I could find my way to the
chapel) and for the years afterward, but now I am back at that
pretty little church on Washington Road.
On Sunday mornings I pack my
kids into the car and drive along
empty roads to the church. We sit
in the back of the building, right
next to my parents, and we try
our best to stay quiet but my
daughter does not understand
why one man in the front of the
church should be the only one
allowed to talk. My son draws pictures on the weekly bulletin and
shows them to my father, hoping
to make his grandpa smile.
Following Mass we drive to a
doughnut shop on Willett Ave.
and eat strawberry frosted
doughnuts and egg sandwiches
and jelly-filled munchkins. The
shop sells deep fried hash
browns, too. And while they are
not quite as tasty as the roundabouts I remember, they seem to
hit the spot.
Parents Math Night is March 27 at middle school
Officials host event for
parents of elementary
school students
Parents of local elementary
school children are invited to
learn more about the local math
curriculum at a “Parents Math
Night” on Thursday, March 27.
The event will be held in the Barrington Middle School cafeteria
from 6:30 to 8 p.m., and is open to
parents of students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
School officials created Parents
Math Night after they realized
there was some confusion with
the math terms and instruction
taking place at local schools.
This event — parents are welcome to drop in at any time
between 6:30 and 8 — will offer
people the opportunity to learn
more about math content and
skills being developed for each
grade level; fluency strategies;
visual models used to promote
learning; math terminology;
home activities that can be used
to promote mathematical thinking; and Ten Marks, the online
math resource.
Barrington Public School teachers representing each grade from
kindergarten through fifth grade
will be on hand to answer questions and share information about
math learning and teaching.

VFW: ‘The culture has changed’
From Page 1
but he agreed with Mr. Stanzione.
The Marine could remember
when he returned from duty in
Vietnam and thought about joining a VFW post. Then he reconsidered.
He said he needed to start a new
chapter in his life and was not
interested in being reminded each
month about the military or the
war or the pains of combat — he
added that veterans of the Vietnam War were not welcomed back
like today’s soldiers. It was not
until recently — about 12 or 13
years ago — that he decided to
join VFW Post 9742.
Mr. Grove is happy to see the
warm welcomes planned for
today’s veterans. They deserve it,
he said, especially considering the
inflated number of tours most of
them serve.
But there was no warm welcome
for Mr. Grove when he arrived back
from Vietnam. There was no
crowd, no band, no television cameras or flags waving.
“My wife was the only one who
showed up,” he said.
Men wearing a military uniform
were viewed differently back then,
he said. There was no respect or
signs of admiration or even appreciation. He said people looked
down upon veterans, even veterans of World War II failed to recognize the service of those who
fought in Vietnam.
“I got spat on,” Mr. Grove said,
recalling an incident when he was
back in the US after serving.
It was an easy decision for him
when he was asked if he wanted to
join a veterans group: No. No,
thanks, he said.
“That was the last thing I wanted
to do.”
Instead he focused on his family
and work and upon re-entering
society, moving past a difficult

experience for a man who was just
20-something years old.
The years passed and eventually
he reconsidered joining the post.
But even after decades of absence
from service, some aspects of the
VFW were hard to embrace.
Mr. Stanzione, Mr. Groves and
Mr. Tripp agreed that the militaristic nature of the organization
seems a bit out-dated. The titles,
the routines, the rituals. They can
understand why someone who is
no longer in active service might
find the club less than palatable.
“The culture has changed,” Mr.
Groves said.
“Been there. Done that,” Mr.
Tripp added.
Still, the local men joined and
embraced other parts of the VFW,
especially the work helping others.
Mr. Stanzione said he enjoyed
buying gifts for the men who live at
the Rhode Island Veterans Home in
Bristol and for others who are
being treated at the VA hospital in
Providence.
“They like the big sweatshirts,”
he said, “so that’s what I’d get
them.”
Mr. Stanzione also looked forward to Memorial Day when he
and a few others would purchase
small American flags and visit the
local cemeteries and place the flags
on the grave sites for veterans. It
was a small gesture, but an important act.
“I want to keep doing that,” he
said, adding that he is hopeful that
he can work it into his membership on the local United Veterans
Council.
Mr. Groves enjoyed presenting
scholarship money to local students. He would visit schools in
Barrington and East Providence
and present the winners of the
Patriots Pen essay contests with
checks; the money, he said, would
help them as they headed off to
college.
Over the last 10 years, VFW Post
9742 has donated more than
$25,000. Some of the money went
to improvements at Veterans Park.
Some went to the garden club. And
some went to the Patriots Pen
awards. All of the money, however,
came from the annual sale of poppies.
Last year the veterans ran into
some trouble when they went to
sell poppies at a local grocery store.
The store manager told them that
they could not sell the poppies
inside the foyer; they needed to be
outside the store. Stormy weather
moved in on the day of the poppy
sale and the veterans — some in
their 80s — decided that it was not
a good idea to battle the elements
while trying to raise money. The
put away their card table and went
home.
“That was the final straw,” Mr.
Groves said. “That was it.”

POLICE REPORT
Bristol man banned from public library
Monday, March 10
A greyhound reportedly bit a 1 year-old
boy on the face. The dog was up to
date on its shots.
Police responded to the public library
after officials there ordered a 33-yearold Bristol man out of the building. The
man had allegedly been viewing
pornography on the library’s computers.
He was banned from the library for a
year — he had already been issued a
30-day suspension for prior incidents of
a similar nature. Police issued the man
a no trespassing order.
Police charged Timothy C. Leahy, 22, of
East Providence, with one count of
third degree sexual assault. Mr. Leahy
had allegedly had a relationship with a
15-year-old Barrington girl. Sixteen is
the age of consent in Rhode Island,
police said.
Police charged Virginia K. Graham, 71,
of 18 Knapton St., with vandalism/malicious injury to property after she
allegedly damaged a window screen on
a neighbor’s house.
Tuesday, March 11
Police issued a no trespassing order to
a woman after a County Road resident
told officers the woman had repeatedly
been seen on his property.
A 35 year-old Bristol man allegedly
shoplifted two containers of baby formula from the CVS on County Road. An
officer reviewed surveillance footage
which reportedly showed the Bristol
man taking the formula. The department is currently working to secure a
warrant for the man’s arrest.
A Barrington woman told police that
someone stole her son’s cell phone. She
said the incident occurred at the high
school after the boy forgot his phone in
a classroom and returned a few minutes later but found it was gone.
Wednesday, March 12
A 19-year-old Barrington resident contacted police after he received threatening text messages from a 22-year-old
Maine man. The Barrington teen said
he was dating the Maine man’s ex-girlfriend, which reportedly led to the
texts. Police contacted the Maine resident who said he got drunk at a party
and someone else took his phone without permission and sent the texts.
Police responded to a man who
appeared to be having a medical emergency while driving near Willett
Avenue. Rescue personnel transported
the man to a hospital.
Friday, March 14
Police issued a 15-year-old Barrington
boy a summons for truancy after he
reportedly missed a number of days
from school.
Saturday, March 15
A woman contacted police after her
phone went missing while she was
shopping at a local grocery store. The
woman said she had the phone in her
purse in the child’s seat area of a cart.
While in the meat section of the store,
her purse went missing. A store
employee later found the purse in the
cereal aisle, but the phone was gone.
A Middle Highway resident complained
to police about a neighbor’s dogs entering her yard.
An East Providence man said he was
riding his motorcycle through town
when another biker pulled up next to
him while he was stopped at a light
and started yelling at him to remove his
biker-group vest and its patches. He
refused and the other biker allegedly
punched him in the face. The alleged
victim said he did not want to press
charges.
Sunday, March 16
A Wright Place resident called police to
report that a neighbor was dumping
cat waste in the street. Police are investigating the claim.
POLICE BRIEF
Charles Street squatters ordered out
Two men who had been living in the basement of a
Charles Street home without the owner’s permission
were ordered out of the residence last week. Police,
who were tipped off to the situation by a neighbor
who had noticed a suspicious car in front of the
home, spoke to the 76-year-old property owner. He
reportedly told police that two men were living in his
basement and he wanted them out. Police said the
Reality Wall
shares truths of
substance use
Students create mural
that shows negative
realities of alcohol
and drug use
Barrington High School’s
BAYouth group helps raise
awareness about destructive
decisions and helps students
make
positive
decisions
around issues such a substance
use. They are a youth committee of the BAY Team, the community’s prevention coalition.
The students recently created a
mural demonstrating the negative effects of alcohol and other
drug use.
The students recently created a “Reality Wall.”
The students acknowledged
that people often only talk
about the great times they’ve
had while using alcohol and
other drugs. They recognize
that the advertising industry
tries to paint a glamorous picture of alcohol drinkers having
fun. Advertisers make it seem
as though one must have alcohol to have a good time at par-
ties, holiday celebrations and
sporting events. Their project
aimed to convey that “In Reality,” alcohol and other drug use
can have many negative effects
on individuals and families.
BHS students and staff were
asked to write a brief statement
describing how alcohol or
drugs have had a negative
impact on someone they know.
These cards were placed on a
“wall” of brick paper and displayed in the school’s cafeteria.
There were over a hundred
cards on the board.
The wall includes many different negative consequences
and sad realities. “Hurtful
words”, “disappointed grandparents,” “we are not friends
anymore”, “divorce”, “made me
feel worse”, and “pulled over
and arrested” were just a sample of the many comments
placed on the wall by students.
The Reality Wall will be on
display at the high school and
them the BAY Team will move
the mural to a visible location
in the community in the coming weeks.

resident who both claimed to be homeless — helped
the homeowner’s daughter move back into the house
and then made themselves at home in the basement.
They were using the bulkhead to enter and exit the
house. The homeowner’s daughter said she did not
know the men were there. Police issued both men no
trespassing warnings for the property and ordered
them to leave. The homeowner did not want to press
charges against the squatters.

Emboldened citizens in Tunisia,
Egypt, Libya, Syria and Yemen
have unseated governments,
ousted presidents and increasing-
ly spiraled into cycles of civil and
ethnic conflict. Whether through
protest, negotiation or violence,
the relationship between government and citizen is undergoing a
fundamental transition.
But this transition away from
authoritarian rule has also proven
slow or reversible and has come at
severe cost, leading some to favor
the old Arabic adage that “an
unjust ruler is better than chaos.”
Why is it difficult to unlearn the
habits of authoritarianism in the
wake of revolution and how does
this process affect rule of law in
post-transition states?

AT THE LIBRARY
March programs
are planned for teens
Programs are being offered in
March for teens.
On Thursday, March 20, a chess
club is forming for the novice or
experienced. Learn the basics
from Jim Blackwell or share your
knowledge of the game with others.
On Thursday, March 27, from
6:30 to 8:30 p.m., it’s “A Night of
Sherlock.” Watch the first episode
from the popular PBS series, “A
Study in Pink.” Make a silhouette
and a Sherlockian magnet.
Ingrid Bergman films
are on Wednesdays
Chase the winter blues away at
the movies, as librarian Doug
Swiszcz
presents
“Ingrid
Bergman: A Celebration,” a film
lecture series on Wednesdays at 1
p.m. through April 2. The series is
free and open to all.
The selection of films is
designed to show the versatility of
the three-time Academy Awardwinning actress. Mr. Swiszcz will
offer commentary before each
week’s screening.
On March 19, “Spellbound”
(1945) will be shown. One of three
films Bergman made with director
Alfred Hitchcock, it casts her as Dr.
Constance Petersen, a psychoanalyst at a Vermont mental institution, who tries to unravel the mystery of the real identity of John
Edwardes (Gregory Peck), the new
head physician. Spurring her on in
her quest to help the doctor is the
fact that Constance has become
romantically drawn to him. (Black
and white; 111 minutes).
On March 26, “Anastasia” (1956)
will be screened (color; 105 minutes). The movie taps into one of
the biggest mysteries of the 20th
century: whether the young
daughter of Russian czar Nicholas
II survived the massacre that
befell the rest of her family, the
Romanovs, at the hands of the
Bolsheviks in 1918.
In this film, set in 1928 Paris, an
unscrupulous White Russian (Yul
Brynner) tries to convince everyone that a young amnesiac
woman (Bergman) — who spoke
of being the young empress while
she was in a mental asylum — is
indeed the heir to the Romanov
fortune. Is she or isn’t she? A meeting with the Dowager Empress
(Helen Hayes), the grandmother
in the royal family, should prove
the final test.
The final film is “The Inn of the
Sixth Happiness” on April 2.

meeting room. It will be led by
librarian Jane Granatino.
Clay, a RISD graduate, finds a
job at an unusual 24-hour bookstore where mysterious patrons
borrow obscure texts in the middle of the night. His curiosity compels him to unravel clues with the
help of friends, unwittingly leading to the sudden closing of the
shop and the disappearance of
Mr. Penumbra. References to
indie bookstores, Google and
secret societies and an underlying
mystery pull readers of all ages
into the mysterious world of Mr.
Penumbra.
Limited copies of the book are

desk. The talk is free and open to
all, and is sponsored by the R.I.
Center for the Book and the Barrington Public Library.

“Adam had a great season.
Going undefeated the entire season and being the nation’s leading
thrower for almost the whole season were great accomplishments,”
Mr. Gourley wrote in an email.
“He is a very focused and wellrounded young man and is building on a solid foundation through
a great work ethic, open-mindedness and strong determination.”
In addition to being a national
champion weight thrower, Adam
is also a member of the Barrington
High School Math Team, Science
Olympiad team, and Jazz band.
He will also compete in the outdoor track season.
“There is really a lot of interest
in him from some great colleges,”
wrote Mr. Gourley. “Some of the
meets he has competed in, like the
Collegiate Invitational in New
York, Greater Boston Track Club

Adam is and his great potential.”
Adam is the third Barrington

national championship during
Mr. Gourley’s tenure. Eric Opdyke
won the 1989 national title in the

to raise $5,000 for the nutrition,
medical, and fitness programs at
Tufts University. Ms. Movsesian
received a masters in nutrition
and public health from Tufts University and works at Boston Heart
Diagnostics in Framingham,

Oakers end Eagles’ hopes for a state title
Barrington boys lose to
Coventry in quarterfinals
BY ERIC DICKERVI T Z
[email protected]
A stellar season came to an end
on Sunday afternoon for the Barrington High School boys’ basketball team, as the Eagles lost to the
D-I Coventry Oakers, 80-68, in the
quarterfinals of the state championship playoff tournament.
In a fast-paced game, the two
teams exchanged possession frequently.
The
Oakers started
four
seniors
and came into
Brown University’s Pizzitola’s
Stadium with
greater depth
than the Eagles.
As the game
wore on, that

depth
and expePatrick Sullivan
rience made a
difference in the final outcome.
Even the height advantage that
Barrington’s 6-foot-8 Matt DeWolf
enjoyed throughout the season
was challenged by Coventry’s 6foot-6 center/forward Sean Roles.
By the middle of the first half,
the Oakers built a comfortable 2112 lead.

shots helped him collect 27 points

quickness, allowing them to make
a dozen steals, was offset by the
Eagles’ defense, which dominated
the boards.
Despite a couple of passing miscues, the Eagles grabbed a three
point lead halfway through the
first half and extended their lead
to 34-21 by halftime.
Daugherty put in 17 points for
the night, while DeWolf finished
with 36. Matt Rota hit two three
point shots and made all four of
his free throw attempts, finishing
with 13 points.
Daugherty, DeWolf and Ben

rebounds throughout the game.

Eagles top Rebels in girls’ hoops, advance to semis
Barrington was
scheduled to play in
semifinals on Tuesday
night vs. Bay View
BY ERIC DICKERVI T Z
[email protected]
A strong first half against South
Kingstown spelled victory for the
Barrington High School girls’ basketball team on Friday night, as
the Eagles held on to a 42-36 win
in the opening round of the playoffs.
Barrington took an early lead in
the game, but South Kingstown
marched back.
“The second half was a grind for
us,” said Barrington head coach
Steve Lenz.
After scoring 30 points to the
Rebels’ 19 in the first half, the second half became a “survive and
advance” situation as the South
Kingstown defense stepped up its
attack.
“Our offense never wavered,”
Mr. Lenz said. “That team had a
tremendous defense.”
The first half lead was solidified
by senior Maura Kelty who made
four 3-point shots, scoring 18 of
her 20 points in the first half. Sarah
Middleton hit for 10 points, while
Grace Restituyo added four, and
contributed on the boards with
her rebounding skills.
Coming off the bench as a sub,
Kim Hoyt worked under the net,
snagging a rebound that set up
one of Kelty’s 3-point shots as the
first half came to a close.
By the time the game clock ran
down to the two-minute mark,
South Kingstown closed the gap to
38-31, but the Eagles managed to
hang onto their lead long enough
to advance them into semi-final
game against Bay View Academy.
The semi-final game was held
on Tuesday, March 18, at Rhode
Island College, after this week’s
Barrington Times went to press.

‘Unsung Heroes’ by RI Reds
Olivia Lucas and Kelly
Kraunelis earn awards
The Rhode Island Reds Heritage
Society and the Rhode Island
Interscholastic League honored
two members of the Barrington
co-op girls’ hockey team with the
fourth annual Rhode Island Reds
“Unsung Hero” Award.
Seniors Olivia Lucas, a defensive player, and Kelly Kraunelis, a
forward, both from Barrington,
were recognized for their “unsung
hero” performances throughout
the 2014 season, during the
league’s championship game at
Brown University’s Meehan Auditorium on Friday, March 14.
The three category awards are
named in honor of former R.I.
Reds’ greats Gil Mayer (goaltender), Ferny Flaman (defense)
and Chuck Scherza (forward).
The awards were presented by
R. I. Reds Heritage Society directors Andre Mayer and Rick
Scherza, sons of Gil Mayer and
Chuck Scherza, and Laurie Fletcher, daughter of the late Ferny Flaman.
The recipients are selected
based on their contributions to
high school hockey; demonstrated acts of sportsmanship, leadership and community involvement; academic performance;
talent and ability; challenges coping with personal obstacles and
hardships.
“We were not looking necessarily at possible All-Staters or super
stars, but more towards unsung
heroes,” said Tom Mezzanotte,
RIIL’s executive director, in making the announcement. “It is a different approach to honor what
you might call a silent MVP.”
■ Olivia Lucas (#7), Women’s
Ferny Flaman Award: Known to
many in her community as “Ms.
Barrington Hockey” because of
her strong leadership and love of
the game, Olivia is always the first
to help a discouraged, struggling,
or injured player. She hasn’t
missed a practice or game in her

father and her grandfather before
her senior season Olivia dedicated
her senior season to their memory. Her character, leadership, and
talent - along with her dedication
to the team and the sport helped
her to excel despite her personal
losses. Younger players regard her
as both personal and hockey
mentor. Opposing coaches and
players respect her as one of the
top women defensemen in the
state.
■ Kelly Kraunelis (#10),
Women’s Chuck Scherza Award:
Kelly Kraunelis exemplifies quiet
leadership by example. The Barrington
senior
consistently
demonstrates a genuine respect
for officials, coaches, and opponents. Kelly’s unselfish style is evidenced by the fact that she is her
team’s assist leader and one of the
top “set-up” forwards in her division. Her coach’s evaluation is
echoed by numerous coaches and
players representing opposing
teams. Kelly also represents a
continuous flow of family excellence in sports. She, her father,
uncles and brother all follow the
athletic prowess of her late grandfather Leo Kraunelis, one of
Rhode Island’s all-time greatest
sports heroes.

Barrington Middle School’s got plenty of talent!
Students shine in annual
variety show
BY JOAN D. WARREN
Special to The Times
On Monday, March 10, more
than 40 Barrington Middle School
students took to the stage at the
high school for the annual variety
show.
Originally scheduled to be held
in February, the show was postponed due to snow. Nevertheless,
the 30 acts that performed were
met with enthusiasm from the
crowd of fellow students, parents,
teachers and relatives. Students
sang and danced, and showed
their musical talents on piano,
guitar, drums, horned instruments and even the ukulele.
Organized this year by middle
school guidance counselor LoriJean Mason, events leading up to
the performance included many
hours of planning and practicing.
With the help of Barrington musician Dave Lauria, the show went
off with only minor technical difficulties that were sorted out quickly.
Barrington Middle School Principal Andrew Anderson was
pleased with the show.
“I continue to be impressed by
our students’ talent in the class-
room, on the athletic field, and
now on stage,” he said.
Mrs. Mason said the dedication
and talent from the students was
admirable.
“Dr. Anderson, Mr. Lauria, and I
were so proud of the students who
performed in the Barrington Middle School Variety Show. Students
from grades 6, 7, and 8 were represented as dancers, singers, and
musicians. The audience turnout
was a bit smaller than expected, as
the show was rescheduled due to
inclement weather, but those in
attendance were enthusiastic
toward all of the talented acts,”
Mrs. Mason said.
“Students had the opportunity
to see a portion of the show (each
grade was able to see 1/3 of the
acts) in school.”
The price of admission benefited the Barrington Middle School
PTO. Students generously donated
canned goods in lieu of purchasing
a ticket for these performances.
More than 220 cans were collected
and will be given to Tap-In to fill
their food pantry.
The audience was smaller than
past variety shows due to the
rescheduling and that many students were able to see a portion of
the show in school.
Mrs. Mason wanted to thank the
Barrington High School technical
crew and all the parent volunteers
who helped make the show a success.

DOWN TO EARTH
When spring
drags its feet
… force it
Tens of thousands of brilliant yellow daffodils trumpet the arrival of spring at Blithewold Museum in Bristol, coming soon.
No matter the forecast, this week marks the end of winter

ow, that was a long
one, wasn’t it?
The winter of
2013-2014
was
one of the coldest
and snowiest is
recent memory.
Streets iced, heating bills skyrocketed, and a
new generation of Rhode Islanders hatched
snowbird dreams of a warm retirement in
Florida. We’re so used to taking winter’s
punches, I’m sure nobody would be surprised to see another storm (or two) frost the
crocuses.
Still, it could have been worse.
It could have been like the summer of
1816, which, due to a naturally-occurring
period of low solar activity coupled with the
eruption of Mt. Tambora in Indonesia,
resulted in sub-freezing temperatures
throughout May, frost and snow in June, and
an entire growing season, lost.
That will not be happening this year.
Spring is here, and we’re ready for it. In these
pages you’ll learn how to force some of your
favorite spring blooms into making an early
appearance, how to capitalize on a seasonal
phenomenon that will bring the striped bass
back to our shores, and read about some of
the best farm-fresh produce to look for and
things to do with kids as the weather warms
up.
Go ahead, put that snow shovel away.

orget what I said about
savoring the last weeks
of winter. I’m over it now
and I know you are too. Spring
can’t come fast enough. Sunshiny days in the 50s and 60s
are just a wicked tease arriving
as they still do between snow
showers and
polar vortices.
We’re all ready
for the tug of
war to be over.
Ready for the
grass to green
up and the daffodils to peak.
Kristin
Ready for
GREEN
spring to show
in the trees the way it sounds in
the birds’ songs. At least we can
be pretty sure by now that winter’s muscles are weakening.
And spring has the stamina
gene. It will win out. Eventually.
Snowdrops are a very good
sign that spring is on it’s way.
They’ve been blooming for a
few weeks already. Crocus is an
even more gratifying sign and I
did spot a few of the sweet little
wild looking ones (Crocus tommasinianus) open on the last
warm day. The honeybees were
out that same day, working the
witch hazel. And the skunk cabbage are up. It really can’t be
long now. But any time the temperatures dip back down to (or
below) freezing and snow shows
up in the forecast, winter begins
to feel interminable again. Until
spring wins the tussle once and
for all, I say we might as well
force it.
I remember my mother displaying vases of bare sticks and
twigs in our house when I was a
kid. We’d chuckle and snort for
weeks about how “pretty” her
arrangements were (sarcasm
runs in the family) until suddenly they actually were pretty
— beautiful even — studded in
spring flowers. Given my wonky
sense of humor, my perennial
disaffection for winter past February, and my vocation as a gardener, it’s no wonder that the
practice of tricking tree and
shrub branches into an early
spring stuck with me. Also, it’s
easy.
Simply cut a few budded
branches, preferably those that
needed pruning anyhow.
Because pores close quickly, the
stem ends will need a fresh cut,
just like flowers do, right before
putting them in a vase or bucket
of warm — almost hot — water

BOOK REVIEW
Two stories of exotic cultures for spring reading
BY DONNA BRUNO
“Behind the Beautiful Forevers
Life, Death, and Hope
in a Mumbai Undercity”
By Katherine Boo
Despair. Hopelessness. Injustice.
All describe the hellhole of existence that is
Annawadi, the
squatter slum
settlement outside the International Airport
in Mumbai,
India. Here,
3,000 people
are tightly
packed into and
atop 335 ramshackle huts next to a sewage lake,
which gives rise to malaria and
dengue fever. The walls of the huts
are green and black with mold;
foot fungus is rampant.
Contents of the public toilet (a
hole in the ground) overflows onto
the main road. A 500-bed hospital
lacking the most basic medical
necessities — water, bandages,
burn balm — cannot support the
one million in the surrounding
vicinity who depend upon it.
Here live (if one can call it “liv-
ing”) Asha, Manju, Abdul, Sunil,
Kalu, who must depend on their
wits and luck to survive in this
abysmal place, overridden with
pigs, rats, lice, and all other types
of vermin. Abdul’s family of twelve
squeeze together in one room
atop each other, where at night
some must doze upright against a
wall.
Since the age of six he has been
trafficking in rich people’s garbage,
which he can obtain at the dumpsters behind the wall at the airport. Plastics, in particular, can be
hauled to recycling stations for
small payment, so he spends all
day sifting through trash. Scavenging is neither easy nor safe; sometimes the meager take is 33 cents a
day.
Incredibly, here and there can
be found a budding scholar who
studies long into the night hours
in hopes of going to college or at
least obtaining a job as a doorman
at one of the elegant hotels, or better yet at an internet call center if
one can learn English.
Corruption is widespread everywSuch unfair experiences, in a
world over which these Indians
feel they have no control, leads to
hopelessness and despondency,
and many take their own lives. The
most common method is consuming rat poison or setting oneself on fire.
The people the author interviewed are real. The reader cannot
help but care about them, and
grieve for them. This is a heartrending and sobering book, certainly not for the faint-hearted;
but so worth the reader’s time for
its enlightening and provocative
information about a forgotten
portion of one of the 2lst century’s
most important world cities.
“And the Mountains Echoed”
By Khaled Hosseini
This book, beautifully written by
Khaled Hosseini, one of the most
talented authors of our day
(author of both “The Kiterunner”
and “A Thousand Splendid Suns”)
is both touching and poignant.
Set again in an Afghan village,
this story focuses on two siblings,
Pari, a child of 4, and her older
brother, Abdullah, age l0, who has
willingly adopted the role of parent, since both of theirs, povertystricken, physically and emotionally depleted, over-burdened and
exhausted, can barely eke out an
existence for their family.
Pari is Abdullah’s universe and
she adores him. Theirs is a sweet
relationship; he watches her first
step; he grasps her first uttered
word. Willing to sacrifice anything
to please her, he trades his only
pair of ragged shoes for a gorgeous
iridescent green peacock feather
with which to delight her. They are
always together, his pride and
devotion to her more like that of a
parent than brother.
Without warning one day, Baba
(the Father) decides to take Pari
across the desert by mule-drawn
carriage to Kabul, where his brother Nadi is employed as chauffeur
to a very wealthy couple. Because
he can’t bear to be away from Pari,
Abdullah insists on accompanying
them, despite his father’s protests.
There the little sister is left with
the wealthy couple, the Wahdatis;
and when Abdullah realizes that
they are adopting her, he in
unconsolable.
From that day on, Abdullah will
feel broken, aching longingly for
Pari all his days. He would love to
feel hate for his destitute father,
but he realizes that “to save the
hand, a finger had to be cut,” and
he sees that his father too is forlorn and broken. The reader’s
heart aches for these deeply
wounded people.
At the very end, Pari and Abdul-
lah are reunited, but after 37 years
it is nearly too late.
Not only does the author create
a most intriguing, multi-layered
plot, but he develops it in the most
lyrical prose. One example is the
image of the separated individuals
as “two leaves blowing far apart
from each other in the wind, yet
bound by the deep tangled roots
of the tree from which they both
have fallen.
Also touching is the manner in
which the adult Abdullah comforts his own little girl, named Pari
after his long-lost sister. After tucking her in, “he would sit by the
side of her bed, plucking bad
dreams from her head with his
thumb and forefinger … Then he
would scour the air, looking for
happy dreams to replace the ones
he had sequestered away.”
His father would do the same
for him, and Abdullah’s favored
dream was always the same: “The
one of him and his little sister
lying beneath a blossoming apple
tree, drifting toward an afternoon
nap, the sun warm against their
cheeks ...” And so, despite miles
and years of separation, Abdullah
and his beloved little sister Pari
could be reunited at least in his
dreams.

NO FLUKE
ALONG THE WATERFRONT
Hang on tight when fishing a worm hatch
“O
ver there on the
right!” “Did you see
that swirl?” “I’ve got
one… I’m on.” That is the way it
often goes when fishing a cinder
worm hatch for striped bass. Cinder worms are small spawning
worms almost tadpole-like in their
movements. They have a wormlike body up top with a tail that
wags through
the water, propelling them in
an erratic fashion at fast speeds
in circles
through the
water.
Striped bass

key in on the
MONTI
spawning worms
(often in May and June) and feed
actively on the surface, close
enough to the shore to be well in
range of anglers casting with spinning reels or wading fly rod fishermen. They are also fished from
boats on saltwater ponds, coves
and in saltwater estuaries of all
types.
In the June, 2013 edition of Saltwater Sportsman Magazine, Capt.
Jon McMurray wrote a great article
on cinder worm hatches in New
England titled “Striper fishing during the cinder worm hatch.” Capt.
McMurray said, “Hatches are a
spring event in most places,
occurring in the dead of night,
with some exceptions in Rhode
Island and Martha’s Vineyard
when they can occur in late afternoon.” I have experienced a worm
hatch in an East Greenwich cove
in the early morning hours. The
hatch may have started at night
but continued into the morning
hours, so worm hatches do occur
at different times of day. It all
depends on conditions and Mother Nature.
Cinder worms are a polychaete
(many legs) in the Nereis genus
which also includes the sand
worm and the common clam
worm said Capt. McMurray. Like
all Nereis worms, cinder worms
are mud burrowers. They swim to
the surface to release their sperm
and eggs in a frenzy. So the
“hatch” is actually a spawning
event rather than a “hatching”
event.
You probably won’t find a hatch
under windy conditions. “When a
female appears, she’s soon surrounded by several males, which
swim rapidly in narrow circles
around her on the surface,” said
Frank Lillie, who has conducted
one of the few studies of cinder
worms. “Worms indeed might
emerge from the mud during
windy conditions, but they likely
can’t perform such mating behavior if there are waves tossing
them.” said Capt. McMurray.
There are a number of factors
that experts claim contribute to
stimulating the hatch: light from a
full moon or from docks and
buildings, water and bottom sediment temperature, extreme moon
low tides that heat the bottom,
tide and currant, etc.; all come
into play.
When the worm hatch is at its
peak, using a fly or bait that
resembles a cinder worm may not
be a good idea. If there is too

much bait around the bass may
not bite, however, if you present
something different to the bass, to
gain their interest, you could hook
up with some nice striped bass. It’s
all about getting the bass interested in what you have to offer, and
they can be finicky and difficult to
catch during a hatch. However,
when the hatch starts to wind
down it may be a good idea to present bait that looks like a cinder
worm as the bass may be hunting
for the worms as they are getting
scarce.
I have found soft plastic baits a
good option with spinning gear. Al
Gags Custom Lures (www.algagsfishinglures.com) makes red plastic baits in various sizes, with a
couple small enough to mimic
cinder worms.

Dave Pollack and Capt. Ray
Stachelek, along with volunteers
from the Connecticut/ Rhode

Rhody Fly Rodders, United Fly
Tyers of Rhode Island, and the
Rhode Island Salt Water Anglers
Association, have been facilitating
an instructional program for the
past five years with the aid of the
US Fish & Wildlife Service and RI
Department of Environmental
Management (DEM). The first two
sessions are devoted strictly to
tying cinder worm emergence
patterns.
There is also a session (usually
on a Saturday afternoon/evening)
that is devoted to fishing with the
flies on Ninigret Pond. The program, which is free, attracts
anglers from throughout the
Northeast and is usually oversubscribed.
Fly tying is scheduled on two
weekday nights: Tuesday, April 29
and Monday, May 5 from 6:30 to
8:30 p.m. at the US Fish &Wildlife
Service Kettle Pond Nature Center
in Charlestown. Fishing is scheduled for Saturday, May 10, from 4
p.m. to dark at Ninigret Refuge.
There is no charge for this program. Novices as well as experienced fly fishers are welcome. Fly
tying tools and materials, and fly
rod outfits, are provided on
request as needed.
The class enrollment is limited
to 40 students, on a first come,
first served basis. The program is
free of charge, but pre-registration
is required for all students. For further information and registration

ust in the nick of time, say
some boat-builders, the

at a time when
the need is especially strong.
This spring is expected to be
one of the busiest in the boating
business in recent years.
“The marine industry suffered
such a blow from 2008 to 2010.
We lost a lot of talent to other
industries and we lost a lot of
talent to retirement,” said Neal
Harrell, president of Brooks
Marine Group, a Newport-based
recruiting firm that specializes
in the marine industry. “We have
positions open all over the
industry, all over the country,
but we don’t have the skilled
labor force to fill those positions.”
A skills-gap study being conducted for RIMTA projects that
this trend is not going away any
time soon. By 2020, Rhode
Island’s marine industry will
need to hire an additional 1,800
workers. Although a challenge
for the industry, the situation
translates to opportunity for
skilled workers, Mr. Harrell said.
This year’s Career Day will
draw employers from the largest
geographic area in the event’s
history — many local firms and
some from as far as Maine,
Florida and Michigan.
Registration is not required
but is recommended; registered
attendees will receive additional
information to help them prepare for the event.

Russ Lundstrom
From Dyer Jones come these
words on the passing of Bristol’s
Russ Lundstrom Sr.:
Right out of high school in
1937, Russ
went to work
for my
grandfather,
William J. H.
“Bill” Dyer,
at The
Anchorage,
Inc., builders
of Dyer
Boats. At the
time, the
company
Russ Lundstrom
was based in
Providence
and building the mahogany lapstrake 10? Dyer Dink.
“Immediately following the
1938 Hurricane, Russ supervised
moving the company office from
Providence to its current home
in Warren.
“During World War II, Russ
first helped The Anchorage earn
the Army/Navy ‘E’ for excellence
in war production, and then he
enlisted in the Army Air Corps
and flew missions over Europe
until 1945. He then returned to
The Anchorage – Dyer Boats and
helped lead the effort to begin
building the entire dinghy line
in fiberglass. Over the years, he
served as purchasing manager,
sales manager, general manager,
and vice president of the company. He retired from daily
activity in 1988 but continued as
a yacht broker, specializing in
Dyer Boats, until 2002.
“Throughout his career, Russ
was enormously respected by
customers of the company,
especially those for whom boats
were built on a semi-custom
basis. He was involved in the
production and sales of nearly
20,000 small boats, from 8? to
40.? He was well-known
throughout the marine industry,
serving on several committees
of the ABYC and NAEBM, as well
as being a community and
church leader in his hometown
of Bristol.
“We will all miss his friendship
and wise counsel.”

COMMENTARY
The Knights who say “bossy”
BY CHRIST Y NADALIN
[email protected]
It wouldn’t be spring without
talk of shrubbery.
That’s my seamless segue to
the master gardeners of Monty
Python fame, on an eternal quest
to find the “Great and Almighty
Shrubbery,” and capable of
felling trees with herring. I am
referring, of course, to the
Knights of Ni, who skillfully
deployed the word “Ni” to compel anyone who crossed their
path to bring them shrubbery,
fearing that the Knights would
bully them into submission with
the offending word.
It was one of the most memorable scenes in a comedy that
has stood the test of time. It was
funny because (back then, at
least) it was considered ridiculous that hearing a word — particularly a small one — would
invoke such terror that it would
cause its “victims” to go off in
search of a shrubbery, at all
costs.
Four decades later, the “Ban
Bossy” campaign has launched,
and sadly, nobody is giggling.
Let’s just pretend for a moment
that “bossy” is a word you have
actually heard since leaving middle school, applied to a professional colleague by an emotionally mature adult who is respected by other emotionally mature
adults. This does not include
anyone who also uses the words
“conceited,” “stuck up,” or
“thinks she’s all that.”
I’m not suggesting that “bossy”
is a positive word. It’s not. It
means domineering and dictatorial. And the peer group has its
ways of dealing with “bossy”
people, as anyone who has spent
time watching a group of kids
play can tell you.
But suggesting that “bossy” is
somehow a gendered mischaracterization of qualities that would
be admired in a male both disregards its definition and creates a
completely unnecessary diversion from very real issues of
workplace inequality.
You can be dedicated to the
empowerment of women and
girls and still be impatient with a
“campaign” that creates a straw
man out of a 5-letter playground
taunt and blames it for the selfconfidence shortfalls of up to
half the people in our society.
In response to “Ban Bossy,” a
local women’s group will be
sponsoring an event in April,
including a speaker who will
offer communication tools and
techniques to help women gain
confidence in leadership roles.
That is terrific, and it is sure to be
a great event. If the chatter brings
a capacity crowd, so much the
better — but I don’t think that
makes the impetus behind the
event any less flawed.
Teaching leadership skills for
their own sake is a good thing;
teaching leadership skills
because you are reacting to some
ginned-up perception that gender equality is being hampered
by three consonants, one vowel
and sometimes-y, is weak.
Real leaders are not derailed by
words. Susan B. Anthony and her
sisters were called a lot of things,
far spicier than the adjective currently known as the new “Bword.” If those suffragettes had
allowed themselves to be distracted by their hurt feelings over
a non-issue that did not further
their cause, who knows how
much the gender equality movement could have been set back. I,
for one, am thankful we are discussing words, not burning bras.
The word “bossy” is a lot of
things. It’s a child’s insult,
beneath the dignity of professionals, and people who use the
word as a weapon should be taken care of by the peer group,
befitting their immaturity.
“Bossy” is also a word that
would aptly describe any campaign that has the hubris to
attempt to ban any word in a
society with constitutionally protected free speech.
But mostly, “bossy” is a perception, and we change perceptions
— we don’t ban them. Women
can and will continue to change
perceptions when more of us
learn to lead in a way that earns
respect because we have forged a
clear path, not because we have
obfuscated the route with distractions and non-issues. That’s
worse than “bossy” — that’s
whiney.
Call me Bossyboots, but I wish
this “campaign” would take a
page from the Knights’ playbook.
Their spokesman, upon receiving
a satisfactory shrubbery, said,
“We are no longer the knights
who say Ni! We are now the
knights who say ekki-ekki-ekkipitang-zoom-boing!”
Like a boss.

ast week, Providence
Mayor Angel Taveras and
General Treasurer Gina
Raimondo each issued a jobs
plan. What both of them had in
common was the focus on state
colleges, particularly the community college
(Taveras), and
the need for
businesses to be
engaged with
higher learning.
Mr. Taveras
Arlene
wants to have
VIOLET
employers work
with the community college to
create and implement a curriculum that mirrors the needs of that
corporation or group of small
businesses. Raimondo’s proposal
is more mature in that she urges
more interaction between businesses and colleges through a
Rhode Island Innovation Institute
in a panoply of areas. Fortunately,
she read the January 2014 report
done under the auspices of Commerce RI and the Rhode Island
Foundation. This blueprint is a
superior piece of analysis.
What is mystifying is that since
1978, various permutations of the
State’s Economic Development
arm have all issued job creation
reports which are remarkably similar on what needs to be done.
Candidate after candidate
pipedreams proposals without
ever looking at them, so it was
refreshing to see Ms. Raimondo
adopt much of the content of the
most recent ideation. She took a
few broadsides from those critical
of her manufacturing initiative,
probably because she didn’t
explain it too clearly, yet she is correct. As outlined in the January
2014 report which was vetted by
over 200 business leaders, manufacturing growth is not about
making buggy whips but in wedding the design capabilities of
such places like the Rhode Island
School of Design, the world leader
in design, with the prototyping, for
example, of packaging, reinvention of products and cutting edge
manufacturing of new products.
Ms. Raimondo hit upon the
untapped potential in new fields
like food sciences, marine technologies and health sciences, all
exactly the proposals in the January report. The Ocean State is
uniquely poised for a marinebased jobs renaissance. Already
the state has charter boat companies, boat repair and fabrication,
shellfishing ecotourism and
water-based recreational and
tourist providers. Building on that
base the State could thrive with its
identity as a world leader in boat
building, rigging, engine repair,
etc., by clustering the maritime
trades and promoting them in
conjunction with our technical
schools.
Food sciences is a no-brainer,
building on the international reputation of Johnson and Wales as
well as the foodie reputation of
many fine restaurants here. Building a support matrix for foodrelated businesses including shipping food products abroad could
also be a cornerstone of the state
economic development.
The Health Sciences portion can
also be accelerated by building on
the foundation of existing
medtech entities, research institutions, drug and device developers
and manufacturers of new therapeutic instruments, vaccines, software and textiles to market.
Rather than re-invent the wheel,
candidates should be analyzing
the action agenda outlined in the
January report. A full game plan
will be ready by October, promises
Marcel Valois, executive director of
Commerce RI. If this most recent
report is any indication, he will
acquit himself admirably given the
rock-solid proposals and strategies
to date of integrating each field of
focus.
Special interests buffer the General Assembly for money to promote itself outside of a cogent
game plan. It’s way past time for
leaders to listen and read the
analyses already in place and to
move forward. Ms. Raimondo
seems to get it. Mr. Taveras has a
ways to go.

here’s no better storyline in baseball or politics than a compelling
comeback. Whether it’s the

fans and voters
CROMWELL love an underdog and someone who has been down-andout before clawing back to the
top.
Down at JetBlue Park, Grady
Sizemore, the former all-star
centerfielder for the Cleveland
Indians is hoping to be the
comeback kid for the Red Sox
this year. A phenom for his first
four seasons in the majors, he
hasn’t played a full season of
baseball since 2009 — or a single
game since 2011. I’m knocking
on wood and crossing my fingers as I write this, but the Red
Sox are cautiously optimistic
that he could contribute to the
Can Clay Pell make a comeback?
team in a meaningful way this
year.
Unwittingly, Clay Pell may
have put himself in the underdog position in the 2014 Democratic primary for governor. The
odd rollout of his campaign with
the never-ending “Clay is IN”
web ads featuring Michelle n’
Clay (IN where?) and the incredible story about his car running
away from home/being stolen
have definitely put him behind
his two primary opponents in
terms of appearing ready from
day one. I won’t count him out
yet — quirky sometimes wins
(see current governor) and a big
bank account can make that
happen (again, see current governor), but the car story might
tell a tale that inspires some voters to opt for another candidate.
I’ve done some dippy things
with my car. Once I left a cup of
coffee on the roof and drove
down Hope Street wondering
why people were gesticulating
and giggling. I have a friend who
briefly lost her car when she
drove to work, walked home and
then wondered where her car
went. We laugh at ourselves and
move on. But the story of the
Pell Prius says a little more
about the candidate than he
might want voters to know.
In December when he first
reported that it had been stolen,
he simply parked it somewhere
and walked home, forgetting
where he parked it. These things
happen but his response lacked
some basic common sense. He
went out of his way to criticize
the Providence Police for
responding slowly, saying he
waited in the cold for two hours
with the car once he found it. A
regular Rhode Islander would be
embarrassed for being dippy but
grateful to have found the car
unharmed. He would drive the
car home, call the police and go
down to the station to do the
paperwork, not wanting to waste
one more minute of patrol time.
He also would not publicly criticize a law enforcement officer
for a slow response to such a
non-emergency.
When Pell misplaced his car
the second time, he left it
unlocked with the keys inside. A
Prius has a button start and so

Journalist, “Founding Mothers” author
Cokie Roberts to speak in Bristol
History lauds the men who
fought to forge America’s identity
as a democratic society, but little
is written about the bold and
brilliant women who worked
beside them under dire circumstances. From the hearthside to
the front lines, the wives, mothers, daughters and sisters of the
Founding Fathers were enterprising and unyielding in their
efforts to support the Revolution
– from running farms and businesses to raising money for
troops and fighting alongside
them in battle. Why, then, do the
Founding Fathers get all the
credit?
In both the adult and illustrated children’s versions of her bestselling book, “Founding Mothers,” acclaimed journalist and
author Cokie Roberts puts the
spotlight on the leading ladies of
the American Revolution, weaving together anecdotes, diary
excerpts, letters and her own
insight and commentary to paint
a compelling portrait of wellknown women from Abigail
Adams and Martha Washington
to lesser-known figures like
Catharine Littlefield Greene and
Sally Livingston Jay. The result is
a fresh look at the women who,
despite an uncertain future and
limited personal prospects,
believed in the democratic ideal
and provided steady guidance to
a nation reborn.
The event will be held in the
Campus Recreation Center on
the University’s Bristol campus;
no tickets are required. A book
signing will immediately follow
the event.

Taking some of the pain out of prom
With apologies to Tennyson, it’s spring when a
young woman’s fancy not-so-lightly turns to
thoughts of prom (and her underwriter’s thoughts
turn to how to minimize expenses.)
Prom has become an expensive undertaking, and
if there is one thing you can’t attend prom without,
it’s the dress. Fortunately, there are a couple of local
events coming up to help.
Groovy Girls and Salve Regina University, with support from friends and employees of the Newport
Restoration Foundation, have teamed up to create a
prom dress giveaway on Saturday, April 12, at Salve
Regina in Newport and it is open to the community.
They are currently collecting dresses and accessories, so if you have a special dress you can part
with, please bring to to the Child & Family
Community Center, 31 John Clarke Road, Middletown (401/848-4105) or to Salve Regina, 100 Ochre
Point Ave., Newport.
Barrington High School is also holding a prom
dress drive for gently used prom dresses to benefit
Becca’s Closet. Please bring dresses into the high
school on Lincoln Avenue in Barrington from now
until March 25.
ply opened the door and pressed
a button. Knowingly leaving
your keys in your car in an area
where cars are frequently stolen
is either naïve, dumb or too rich
to care. But I am not sure that
this is even an accurate picture
of what occurred since he and
Ms. Kwan spent a significant
amount of time driving around
looking for the car as if it were a
lost cat. Perhaps they weren’t
sure that it just hadn’t been misplaced again — or didn’t know
the neighborhood well enough
to be certain on which street
they’d parked. Either way, this
episode illustrates a lack of gravitas. Rhode Island needs “West
Wing” leadership, not reruns of
“Laverne & Shirley.”
A Grady Sizemore comeback
this year would confirm that Red
Sox scouting and management
continues to be incredibly adept
at assessing talent and potential.
A Clay Pell comeback might say
just the opposite about Rhode
Island voters.

Make a list: Things to do
with kids this spring
Watch herring run
Visit a Vineyard
Each spring river herring
return to their natal rivers to
spawn. In recent years there has
been some improvement in
Rhode Island’s river herring
stocks, since a moratorium on
the catching of river herring was
established in 2006. The peak of
the herring run is usually the end
of April/beginning of May. Late
afternoon on a sunny day is the
best time to visit the herring
runs, as the fish tend to be more
active then. There are a number
of runs in Rhode Island and
Massachusetts, most locally off
Nonquit Pond in Tiverton. Visit
dem.gov for more information.
Yes, that’s right. On certain days,
local
vineyards
such
as
Portsmouth’s Greenvale will hold
kid-friendly events, like their “Live
Jazz For Kids.” The kids have a
great time, you taste delicious
local wine, everyone wins.
Daffodils and fairies
Blithewold’s fifth annual Fairy
Festival is Sunday, April 27, from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is the day to
rejoice in the return of fragrance
and beauty to the landscape.
Absorb the sights, sounds and
smells of Blithewold’s gardens
during this day of revels. Fairy costumes
encouraged.

Revisit the Zoo
It’s there year-round, but with
the return of zoo-friendly weather,
it’s a lot more fun. Be there at 10:30
daily to watch the elephants get
their baths. rwpzoo.org.
Crescent Park Looff Carousel
Open weekends until 8 p.m.
through spring, the Crescent Park
Carousel was made in 1895 by
Charles I. D. Looff, one of the
world’s foremost carousel makers
and producer of Coney Island’s first
merry-go-round. Historians consider this carousel a treasure of
American folk art and a museum to
the work of Looff. The carousel is a
National Historic Site and was proclaimed the Rhode Island Symbol
of Folk Art in 1985. It’s fast and fun
for the biggest kids. 401/435-7518

In season: Spring is here (really)
With our ability to import produce from all over the world, it’s
easy to forget how much better
foods taste when we respect their
seasonality. Here are five foods
that are best eaten farm-fresh in
the spring.
Asparagus
One of our earliest crops,
Asparagus has a very short season, can take
up a lot of
space in the
garden, and be
tricky to grow
— but if you
have the space
it’s worth it.
There’s nothing
quite like taking a paring
knife out to
your plot and cutting the stalks
just as you like them; ones that
have overgrown your taste can be
left to seed the next year’s crop.
You will never want store-bought
mid-winter asparagus again.
Radishes
Hardy radishes like cool
weather, and they like to get
started early — as early as midApril. They will be ready to harvest anywhere from three to five
weeks later (pull them earlier for
a milder flavor.) Nothing like the
radishes you’ll find in an institutional salad bar, young, farmfresh radishes are delicious on
their own, with a sprinkling of
salt.
Rhubarb
This distinctly northern crop is
another early riser. Tart beyond
belief, cooking with plenty of
sugar is necessary, which is why
it lends itself so well to desserts
and preserves. Another crop that
takes up its share of real estate
and may take years to establish,
it’s not one to start in a small yard
that you don’t plan to tend for the
long term. That said, spring in
New England demands rhubarb
pie — no strawberries needed.
Rhubarb hates heat, so when
things start to really warm up,
pick, dice, and vacuum-seal a
few bags for the freezer.
Peas
Peas — green, snap, and snow
— all appreciate cool soil and
weather, and can be planted from
seed in early spring. The difference between store bought and
fresh garden peas is evident when
GREEN: Nudging spring along
From Page 1
in a bright room. Woody stems
need a little extra incentive to
draw as much water as possible
to the buds, so expose plenty of
pith (the tissue under the bark)
either by cutting on a sharp
angle, or by using your pruners
to split the stem an inch or two
straight up the middle. Martha
Stewart offers a third method
involving a hammer. I’m all for
finding ways to alleviate the
maddening symptoms of spring
fever, but the practice of stem
smashing seems more likely to
damage tissue than open its
watery pathways. I could be
wrong.
Next, wait and watch. Change
the water periodically and make
fresh cuts whenever you feel
especially impatient. Depending
on the plant and the calendar,
your vase of sticks should pop
into flower in two weeks to a
month or so.
Forsythia is the fastest to force
and will be especially quick now
that we’re only weeks away from
its actual huzzah. It’s not my
favorite spring blooming shrub
out in the landscape mostly
because it’s so common. If yellow is to be the official color of
early spring, why not plant acres
of fragrant lime-yellow winter
hazel (Corylopsis glabrescens)
and northeast native spice bush
(Lindera benzoin) too? But my
mom and I can tell you there’s
almost nothing more hilariously
cheerful in the living room than
a giant vase of forsythia sticks in
full bloom. Except maybe a vase
of winter hazel, spice bush,
crabapples, quince, or magnolia.
So if spring can’t come fast
enough for you, go ahead and
force it.

you find yourself eating them
straight from the vine, without
benefit of heat, salt or butter. Pick
regularly for the best quality and
they will keep well, zip locked, in
the crisper drawer.
Strawberries
Strawberries come into their
own as spring comes to a close;
peaking at the end of June, they
are pretty much done after the
Fourth of July, especially if the
weather has been exceptionally
hot. When they are at their best,
just picked, they epitomize the
taste of summer in New England.
There are plenty of places to pick
your own strawberries in the area,
but even the smallest garden can
support a couple of strawberry
pots.

Take a leisurely drive down to Bittersweet Farm

Bittersweet Farm
Restaurant & Tavern
438 Main Road, Westport
508/636-0085
www.eventsbylhc.com
Hours: Dinner from 3 to 9
p.m. Tuesday to Thursday, 3
to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 8 p.m. Sunday (except for the first Sunday of the month, when they
open at 3 p.m. because of the
grand brunch buffet from
10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.).
Most popular dishes: California chicken Cobb salad, bleu
moon burger, cedar plankroasted salmon, Bittersweet
steak tips and farmhouse
meatloaf
ner salads, chicken dishes, steak
tips, Angus prime rib, sirloin
steak, tournedos Oscar, baconwrapped filet, surf and turf (fillet
mignon with a lobster and crab
cake or baked stuffed shrimp, or
both), fish and chips, fish tacos,
scrod Florentine, sole, salmon,
baked sea scallops, baked
stuffed shrimp, fajitas, mushroom ravioli, clams zuppa,
chicken parmigiana, meatloaf,
hearty sandwiches and burgers,
and a bunch of pizzas.
The raspberry goat flatbread is
a combination that works gorgeously — the crust made inhouse is thin and crispy, but
with a nice chewy bite to it. It
was topped with fresh baby
spinach, sautéed onions, fresh
raspberries and dollops of goat
cheese, all drizzled with a raspberry sauce.
The two jumbo lobster and
crab cakes are crisp outside and
moist inside with bits of onion
and bell pepper and a hint of
spice. Lime aioli and corn salsa
are fresh counterpoints to the
rich cakes.
The chicken portabello
Napoleon is an amazing dish in
a tower of layers that hits all the
right notes. Grilled chicken
breasts and balsamic marinated
portabello mushrooms are
sandwiched with sautéed
spinach, piled high and topped
with goat cheese. Surrounding
this marvel is a red pepper
coulis with buttery, roasted garlic cloves and more goat cheese
crumbles. The garlic mashed
potatoes, which are always
superb, were a perfect side dish.
Frenchy’s clams zuppa is a
favorite — lots of steamed littlenecks with chunks of tender
chouriço in a broth with onions
and tomatoes, all served over
linguine in a big, shallow soup
plate. Two big wedges of
crunchy garlic toast were good
for sopping up the broth.
Enjoy an espresso or cappuccino with one of the farm’s luscious desserts — créme brulèe,
Bittersweet Kiss, brownie sundae, bread pudding, carrot cake,
cheesecake, peanut butter pie,
apple crisp, ice cream or a root
beer float. A Bailey’s Irish Creme
cake is a March special.
The Bittersweet Kiss is the signature dessert — a melt-inyour-mouth brownie tart with
chocolate ganache topped with
a scoop of vanilla bean ice
cream. The square, rimmed
plate was a painting of raspberry
coulis and white chocolate
sauce, with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries as decoration. A dusting of cinnamon
on all four corners of the plate
completed the picture.
If you’re planning a visit, there
is a three-course Date Night
menu on Tuesday and Wednesday for $40 per couple (add a
bottle of wine for $10). And,
Thursdays are Prime Rib Night.
Live entertainment is from
Thursday to Saturday.

ucked into the woods in
Westport, Bittersweet
Farm is easy to overlook.
That would be a mistake. The
huge post and beam barn boasts
an upstairs dining room and a
downstairs tavern. In the
upstairs dining room, the rustic
construction contrasts with the
elegant windowed wall overlooking the back gardens. The
upstairs dining room is open on
Fridays and Saturdays when
there are no private events.
A wedding was taking place
upstairs on a recent cold, frigid
night. So, it was a perfect
evening for the cozy downstairs
tavern, with its huge, walk-in
fireplace and beamed ceiling. A
bar spreads across one wall,
there are candles on the tables
and lots of atmosphere. And, a
bonus was Chris Farias, a
singer/guitarist, who was excellent and played lots of easy listening tunes by Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills and Nash,
Harry Chapin, The Beatles and
more.
The room was very busy, with
parties of all ages; but, our server Jillian kept things moving
right along. She started us with
water, glasses of wine and the
famous Bittersweet bread basket
of corn muffins and ciabatta
with honey butter and hot pepper jam.
We chose wine, but there are
specialty martinis, margaritas
and other fun cocktails, and a
large selection of draft and bottled beers, including seasonal
offerings and cider.
Chef Craig Bazinet has created
a menu with a variety of choices
from casual sandwiches and salads to elegant tournedos and
rack of lamb.
Specials for March include
starters of coconut shrimp,
farmhouse flatbread, and a
stuffie/clam chowder combo.
Entrees are Mediterranean
chicken pasta, butternut ravioli,
chicken portobello Napoleon,
crispy duck, shrimp and littlenecks rigatoni, rack of lamb and
a Reuben.
On the regular menu, there
are tons of choices to start, from
a raw bar to wings, clams casino,
calamari, steamers and
chouriço, raspberry goat flatbread, lobster and crab cakes,
pork and veggie potstickers,
BBQ chicken nachos, baconwrapped scallops, New England
clam chowder, French onion
soup, a soup du jour and salads.

Representative and Graduate
Realtor Institute, GREEN and
e-PRO. She is certified as a
negotiations, home marketing
and new homes specialist. She
is a member of the Rhode
Island Association of Realtors
and is the 2014 President Elect
for the Greater Providence
Board of Realtors.
As a lifelong resident of East
Providence, Donna has come to
know the entire East Bay area
very well. A single mother of
two daughters and two grandchildren, she spent 13 years in
the banking industry, where she
received many awards for
excellent service. Donna was a
manicurist for eight years,
which she enjoyed, but due to
arthritis in her hands, had to
retire.
Other careers she has dabbled
in include a stint as an officer
for the Brown University
Police & Security Department,
an event planner, driving limousines (chauffeur license),
catering, bartending (licensed),
dispatching for AAA, customer
service for homeowners and
auto insurance, controller/office
manager for two auto dealerships, medical claims approver,
and photographer — among
others.
WHY DID YOU BECOME A
REALTOR? "It was suggested
to me as something that I may
be good at when I needed to
make a career change due to
arthritis in my hands. I was a
manicurist at the time. I had a
client who was a broker and
she said I would do well as a
realtor."
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST
ABOUT REAL ESTATE? "I love
the longlasting relationships
that I have built with my
clients. Geographically, I know
the state of Rhode Island
extremely well. I love to pound
the pavement and find that perfect home for my clients."
Donna Andrews

[email protected]
ANY DISLIKES? "The misinformation on some of the
websites that the consumers
unfortunately sometimes swear
by and believe."
FUNNIEST REAL ESTATE
STORY: "Being chased by a
pigeon 'inside' of a vacant
property in Pawtucket (wasn't
funny at the time)!"
DESCRIBE THE PERFECT
DAY OFF: "Playing a round of
golf. I am a newbie with the
gGolf. My boyfriend and I have
taken it up together, so I play
in New York most of the time,
but I have played in Warren
(Windmill Hill) and also
Cranston (Alpine). That or
spending the day by the pool in
the sun."
BEST PLACE FOR A CUP OF
COFFEE: "Sip N' Dip Donuts."
FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT:
"22 Bowen's Wine Bar & Grille
in Newport."
WHAT'S YOUR BEST CULINARY CREATION? "My homemade chocolate chip cookies
(secret recipe, I can't give it
out!)"
LAST MOVIE AT THE THEATER? " 'Frozen.' I saw it with
my younger daughter. She is
18."
PASSIONS? "I have a pas-
sion for singing. I started in my
church choir and continued
through junior and high schools
and performed locally with a
few bands."
VOLUNTEER WORK: "I am
very proud to say that I am a
volunteer for the Camp Street
Community Ministries in
Providence. I volunteer my
time in the food pantry and the
clothing area, and it is the
greatest feeling to know that I
can help someone less fortunate
than myself. I donate on a regular basis and I have also hosted a toy drive for Christmas
time and was very successful. I
will continue that every year as
long as I am able."
PLANS FOR FUTURE IN
REAL ESTATE? "I plan to
remain in the real estate industry until I decide to retire completely. It is my one and only
profession, and I enjoy the people I am surrounded by. I plan
to continue my strong involvement with the Association of
Realtors and will continue at
the local, state and national
levels."

Loan rates based on $100,000 with 20% down payment & no PMI. Variable mortgages listed are for 30 years, adjusted annually. Points are a one-time charge equal to one percent of the mortgage. APR stands for annual
percentage rate and reflects closing costs spread over the life of the loan. CAP is the most a variable mortgage can increase in one year. Savings and loans and Rhode Island loan and investment banks are included in the bank section of this chart. These rates,
provided by the institutions on Monday of this week, are subject to change or special conditions. For more information, consumers are advised to call the institution. First-time homebuyers may qualify for lower-rate mortgages from the Rhode Island Housing
and Mortgage Finance Corporation. Many credit unions only grant loans to members and limit membership to a defined group. When shopping for mortgage rates ask for explanation of closing costs. Financial institutions that write residential mortgages that
wish to be included on this list can get in touch with Classified Real Estate Advertising Specialist at 401-253-1000
