DIONNE JR. David Sprogris points toward Horseneck from the Gooseberry causeway. With him is Michael Sullivan. Both have become convinced that the causeway, by blocking the historic tidal flow there, bears much of the blame for East Beach (background) erosion and even, perhaps, for water quality issues within the Westport River. Some say Gooseberry causeway to blame for beach, river woes BY BRUCE BURDETT [email protected] East Beach is narrow now, covered with cobble, but it wasn’t always so. Old photos and tales told by grandparents describe a broad expanse of sand with scarcely a stone in sight. That was back before the Gooseberry causeway was built in the early 1920s. “Not too long after that people started to notice changes, and not all good ones,” says David Sprogis who lives on nearby Bridge Street. Now 82 and a retired civil engineer, he said, “I’ve been observing that beach all my life.” The causeway was already in place when he was born, but “When I was a boy, I remember that this beach was full of soft sand, nice and wide.” Year by year though, “there was less of it … The change wasn’t sudden, went back and forth some, but gradually there was a propagation of stones and the process has clearly accelerated.” And the more Mr. Sprogis studies the situation, the more he becomes convinced that the change was no accident. “That causeway interferes with very old and very powerful forces with results that nobody foresaw or worried much about when they built it,” he said. Now he and others are wondering whether that causeway is doing more harm than good; whether Westport would be better See GOOSEBERRY Page 3 Satellite view shows the Gooseberry causeway as it is now.

The trio didn’t get far. The man who had been robbed called 911 at 3 p.m.and was able to provide dispatcher Jen Scott with a description of the rear of the gold getaway car as it left Windward Way which is located off Main Road in Westport Point. Police officers flooded the area and minutes later Lieutenant John Bell spotted a similar vehicle headed north on Route 88. Three occupants of the car were removed and taken into custody. Officers found a black semiautomatic (in appearance) handgun which turned out to be a BB gun with a removable magazine. “There were no child safety markings on the weapon and it appeared realistic,” said Detective Jeff Majewski. In addition to the gun was a large amount of cash inside the seat cargo pocket and door panel. Three occupants of the car were arrested. Christopher Matton, 21, of 166 Mott Street, Fall River was identified by the homeowner as the See POLICE Page 2 Page 2 Westport Shorelines January 23, 2014 One of hunters’ guns still missing They’ve recovered two of the shotguns that went into the water when a duck-hunting boat capsized in Westport Harbor on Jan. 7, but the third remains missing. State Police returned to Westport last week with equipment that they used to scan the river bottom in the area where surviving hunter Gregg Angell told investigators that the boat had gone over — not far out from the Tripp & Sons docks. But that search turned up nothing, Westport Detective Tony Cestodio said, adding that State Police expect to return to search further. It is believed that there were three guns in the boat when it flipped and two have been recovered. One was still in the boat when it was hauled out of the water. Another was found by the water’s edge, still in its case which provided some buoyancy. POLICE: Former boss targeted From Page 1 intruder. Two women inside the car were charged as well. Wendy Phaneuf, 42 and Marianne Medeiros, 42, both of 853 Slade Street in Fall River, were identified as participants — police said one of them drove Mr. Matton to the house, and they helped him plan the crime, serve as lookouts and participated in his getaway. “Ms. Phaneuf was a previous employee of the victim and believed the cash would be located inside the house,” Det. Majewsk said. Police found a large amount of cash next to her in the car. The homeowner told police he heard a knock at the door when the Wendy Phaneuf intruder forced open the door, showed a handgun and told him to get down on his knees. Mr. Matton demanded money and put the gun to the victim’s head.

Mr. Matton was charged with home invasion armed with a firearm, armed robbery, kidnapping, armed assault in a dwelling, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy. Both women were charged with conspiracy to commit those crimes, the penalty for which can be life in prison. Mr. Matton was held on $15,000 cash bail while the two women were held on $10,000 cash bail each.

Among them is Board of Selectmen member Michael Sullivan. He too had watched the changes but said he was finally spurred to action by some long-time residents like Mr. Sprogis. “He just peppered us with letters and papers about what has happened to these beaches. And he made a lot of sense.” Mr. Sullivan said there is no denying that sand has been vanishing both from East Beach and the west end of Horseneck with alarming speed since the causeway was built. “There is good evidence that those beaches changed very little for the previous century and probably thousands of years,” he said. “Sand essentially moved back and forth, some years there was more sand one place, some years in other places but it was all fairly constant. Since the causeway, however, the rate at which the beach has been washing away may have increased by a factor of five times in some areas, especially on the East Beach side. Lately, he and Mr. Sprogis have been visiting the town’s Water Resources Management Committee with a PowerPoint presentation, urging members to take a closer look at the situation. Bridge might be better They say there is reason to suspect that removing the causeway, replacing it with a pile bridge, and letting tidal currents flow across as they used to might solve at least several problems that have vexed Westport for many decades. “We believe that we may, very likely, realize three possible benefits if the causeway was replaced with a pile supported structure that would restore the natural flow of water and sand along our coastline. These potential benefits are: ■ Improved tidal flushing of the Westport River; ■ Reduced shoaling of the river and inlet channels; ■ Reduced beach erosion and cobbling.” “All we are asking is that we study the problem with eyes wide open,” Mr. Sullivan said. Such studies should involve hydraulic modeling of the river — with and without the causeway; a historic analysis of the coastline before and after the causeway with an emphasis on erosion; and a bathymetric study of the the inlet to see what changes occurred after the causeway was built. To that end they’ve formed a group that also includes David Emilita and Claude Ledoux to seek support and funding for a study. Others have been watching with interest. While the Westport Watershed Alliance has not taken an official stand on the issue, Executive Director Matt Patrick agreed that the idea deserves study. “Anytime man tries to control the coastline we are asking for trouble. When I was a selectman in Falmouth, we had some of the best coastal scientists in the world working at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute provide us with a report on our coastline dynamics. They advised us not to restore groins or armoring because it would just starve other beaches of sand. They said it was better to take existing barriers down.” He added that while one earlier study (1996 Aubrey Report) concluded that removing Gooseberry Neck would have little impact on beach scouring, “it was not a comprehensive study.” Not studied yet is whether removing that causeway would improve flushing of the river. Mr. Sullivan, who often dives in the bay outside the river inlet and keeps close track of water clarity, thinks a barrier the size of Gooseberry Neck seriously disrupts the river’s historic flow pattern. “If only a small portion of that (water) were to pass behind Gooseberry Island, between the island and Horseneck Beach, we believe this would sweep away a significant portion of the outgoing river tide that mostly piles up in front of Horseneck Beach. When the tide comes back in, more fresh sea water would be available to flow back into the river.” Westport Water Resources Management Committee member Bill Burns said he too is intrigued about the prospects of replacing the causeway with some type of piled support structure. He said he remembers time spent on the Conservation Commission dealing with East Beach residents’ concerns with erosion and beach loss. “On just a mild windy day the waves splash latterally over the causeway” Mr. Burns said, “which WESTPORT SHORELINES (USPS #021-729) 1 Bradford St, Bristol 245-6000 • 253-6055 (fax) Mailing address: P.O.

In 1913, the state allowed boulders to be placed along the sand bar and the original causeway was built in 1922. The causeway was partially destroyed by the 1938 Hurricane but rebuilt by the Army Corps of Engineers in 1943 at a time when the military main- How to reach us For news contact: Bruce Burdett, Editor 401-424-9120 [email protected] A weekly publication of East Bay Newspapers, 1 Bradford St., Bristol, R.I. 02809 POSTMASTER send address changes to: Westport Shorlines, 1 Bradford St., Bristol, R.I. 02809 tained a coastal defense spotting station on Gooseberry. These days the seven-acre island, with its military ruin and spectacular views is a popular place.

After Robert K. Assad, 37, of 25 Borden St., Westport, missed an a g re e d - u p o n We d n e s d a y m o r n i n g appointment at his parents’ house, the search began. Robert K. Assad He didn’t prove difficult to find, said Westport Detective-Sergeant Tony Cestodio, thanks to the courtordered GPS device strapped to his ankle. Fall River District Court Probation Officer Mark Costa was able to pinpoint the location of the GPS device to the Shangri-La Motel in Seekonk. Officers arrived within minutes but Mr. Assad had just left. This time, GPS tracked him moving at about 3 mph not far away. Officers spotted him walking behind the Sam’s Club store about 500 yards from the motel, took him into custody and then drove him to Westport for booking. Level 3 is the most serious of the sex offender designations, given to those deemed most likely to be a threat for repeat offenses, Det. Cestodio said. Mr. Assad earned that status for a number of sex-related offenses, including cases involving children in Tiverton and in Bristol County, Mass. Det. Cestodio confirmed that this latest case involves “a 5-yearold child who is known to the family.” He was charged in this instance with indecent assault on a child under age 14 (subsequent offense). According to information disclosed at his Wednesday arraignment in Fall River and reported by the Fall River Herald, the 5-yearold girl told investigators that Mr. Assad had exposed himself to her last year and asked her to touch him. Mr. Assad has denied the accusations. Judge Robert Welsh III ordered that Mr. Assad be held on $100,000 cash bail, an amount he said was justified by Mr. Assad’s lengthy criminal record. He is also being held on possible probation violation matters linked to past convictions. These include a 2013 Taunton conviction for indecent assault on a child under 14 for which he was sentenced to serve 14 months of a 2 1/2 year sentence. He is also on seven years supervised probation for a Tiverton case Westport Police: Loud muffler leads to marijuana Saturday, Jan 4 in which he was charged with indecent assault on a child — fondling a 12-year-old girl. The Herald also reported that he had been convicted of child rape and abuse in 1993 and had also served five years in state prison on a Bristol County (Mass.) arson conviction. At Wednesday’s bail hearing, Mr. Assad’s attorney, Nicholas Athanassiou requested $25,000 bail, the Herald reported, citing his strong ties to the Westport community — he graduated from Westport High School in 1995, worked there as a mechanic, is the father of a teenage boy and has family in he area. Det. Cestodio said that Mr. Assad, who has worked as a small engine mechanic, is not permitted to be in unsupervised contact with minors, according to terms of his sex offender status. The investigation involved the Fall River Police Major Crimes Division, the Mass. Department of Children Families, Seekonk Police and Westport Police. Wednesday, Jan. 15 street value of $6,000.

Opinion Page 6 Westport Shorelines January 23 2014 EDITORIAL Debt double standard T he big point pushing Sakonnet tolls, Governor Chafee has said all along, is to enable Rhode Island to finally cease borrowing to fund its bridge maintenance work. It is critical, he repeats whenever pressed about tolls, for the state to climb out from beneath the mountain of debt that now cripples efforts to keep those bridges upright. So it came as a surprise last week when the governor’s budget proposed one of the biggest bond issues ever attempted by this tiny state. He wants to borrow $125 million to beef up URI’s School of Engineering and another $75 million for environmental matters, $40 million for mass transit and $35 million for arts and cultural projects. Grand total of borrowing in his plan — $275 million. Gov. Chafee’s own Department of Transportation website has lots of bad things to say about debt — at least where bridge maintenance is concerned: “Continued borrowing has driven our debt to the point where half of RIDOT’s gas tax revenue has to be spent on debt” (but the Governor and Assembly) … passed critical reforms to put Rhode Island on a path to get off its dependency on debt … Even with important changes to eliminate future borrowing, it will take decades to pay down the accumulated debt … Additional funding sources, such as tolling revenues, will give the department more money to put into projects as it eliminates prior debt …” So, through great sacrifice by toll payers in one corner of the state, he’d wean the state of transportation borrowing. And in place of that debt he’d add much more new debt — for which those toll payers would bear the same repayment burden as everyone else. The governor’s fiscal policies are a bafflement, a series of contradictions: ■ Debt is drowning us so we need tolls, but now we need to take out new loans — gigantic ones; ■ It’s time to cut taxes for struggling businesses, yet tolls — really big ones for tourists and businesses that rely on trucks—are the answer … As he leaves office, Gov. Chafee seems intent on cementing a legacy for himself — at any cost to those who live in these towns. WESTPORT SHORELINES Established in 1993 Matthew Hayes, Publisher Bruce Burdett, Editor R. S.

Cookies for Paws Westport Middle School students tend to their bake sale table shortly before the holiday break. They voted to donate the proceeds from their work — $221 — to the Forever Paws Animal Shelter, and a check was delivered last week. Special education teacher Dianne Pereira said the students baked and decorated treats that were sold at all lunches, and learned about making sales and managing money. She added that the project sharpened the participants’ math, science, and language arts abilities as well as social skills. “Our students worked really hard to help others — with paws,” she added. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR South Coast rail: More harm than good To the editor: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has clearly signaled that the legal problems plaguing the plan to build a rail line from Fall River/New Bedford to Boston have not been cured, according to an agency letter released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). EPA cites “incorrect interpretation and application” of federal rules, conclusions “not supported by the record” and persistent information gaps among the environmental defects yet to be cured. The January 8, 2014, letter from EPA Regional Administrator Curtis Spalding informs the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that their Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the rail line has several “outstanding” problems which must “be addressed prior to” a final approval of the long-planned project. EPA’s latest expression of concern mirrors its earlier critique back in June 2011 that “the proposed project will have a substantial and unacceptable impact on aquatic resources of national importance” leading to a possible federal veto of the project. The EPA comments highlight that, despite more than a decade of planning, the basic environmental deficiencies of this rail plan have not been seriously addressed. It is too late to go back to the drawing board on this turkey; it is time to put it out of its misery. The new EPA comments fault the quality and accuracy of the massive environmental impact document that tried to characterize building a commuter rail through Massachusetts’ largest vegetated freshwater wetland as the least environmentally damaging alternative. Among the issues raised were: ■ Violation of Clean Water Act rules designed to minimize adverse “aquatic resource impacts”; ■ Absence of a coherent mitigation plan as required by law; and ■ The analysis of impact on vernal pools is “inconsistent with the current science” and “substantially understated.” EPA concludes “that a more extensive survey of vernal pools is necessary.” In the one area where EPA complimented the FEIS, it cautioned that the laudatory aspects may be illusory since pledges to minimize indirect effects “fall short of specific strategies and funding commitments.” EPA also questions the basis for dismissing the far cheaper alternative of a rapid bus line. The issues EPA raises are among the same issues that make this project legally vulnerable should it ever be approved. Our past objections are echoed by EPA’s comments.

NEW BEDFORD — Douglas Carter Beane’s “The Little Dog Laughed” is at Your Theatre Inc. It is directed by Robin Richard. Nominated for the 2007 Tony Award for Best Play and the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding New York Theatre, the play is a fast, witty and wise examination of the Hollywood world of perception and deception. Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, Jan. 23 to 25; and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 26. When closeted screen idol, Mitchell Green, develops feelings for the “rent boy,” Alex, complications arise for the hard-driving Diane, Mitchell’s talented agent. Diane cleverly negotiates the desires of her star against the demands of secrecy as it relates to success in the Hollywood world. Ellen, Alex’s quirky girlfriend, complicates the action which takes place in quick scenes and internal monologues with sometimes two or more scenes happening simultaneously. NOTE: The play includes adult content and language. Performances are in the theater’s handicap-accessible performance complex at St. Martin’s Church, 136 Rivet St. at County Street. Parking is free in the church lot on County Street. General admission is $15; students, seniors and military personnel are $13.

Medical Reflexologist Dee D’Atri uses touch as a completmentary therapy in conjunction with traditional medicine. Good health, from the bottom up Reflexology is an ancient practice, but its acceptance as a complementary medical therapy is relatively new BY CHRIST Y NADALIN D [email protected] ee D’Atri deftly manipulates her client’s foot, pausing over some areas, moving on, then going back for another feel, describing what she is “reading” with her fingertips. “Your hips are good…pancreas too,” she says. All good signs. Then, “Are you getting enough sleep? How is your digestion? Your intestines seem….mushy.” A fair analysis, if she actually had her hands on intestines, but her investigation remains focused on the feet. This is not science fiction, — yet D’Atri’s observations will prove on-base. She is a Medical Reflexologist, and through the touch of her hands she can “see,” with some accuracy, disturbances in the body’s internal systems. It may not be a practice embraced by modern Western medicine, but globally, it has certainly stood the test of time. Here, today, her client reveals that he has been getting by on little sleep, and will corroborate, if not elaborate on, “mushy” digestion. Reflexology, the process by which pressure is applied to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears, has been around for a while — before antiquity, perhaps. Historians think it began as an oral tradition before recorded history and may have been first recorded as a Inside... pictograph on the Egyptian Read about more tomb of ancient healing pracAnkhamor in tices, food allergies and more in our Health 2330 BC, as well & Wellness section. as on the feet of statues of Buddha in India and China. “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”, a classic Chinese text written around 1,000 BC, devoted a chapter to reflexology as the “Examining Foot Method.” Marco Polo is thought to have brought reflexology to Europe when he translated a Chinese massage book into Italian in the 1300s, followed by other European physicians who published works on what they called “zone therapy” in the late 1500’s. The practice finally made it to the United States around the end of WWI. Dr. William H. Fitzgerald, MD, known (in the U.S., at least) as the father of reflexology, wrote about ten vertical zones that extended the length of the body, noting that in his experience, the application of pressure to a zone that corresponded to the location of an injury could serve as relief of pain during minor surgeries. Dr. Shelby Riley took Dr. Fitzgerald’s work a step further, developing a map of horizontal zones across the body along with specific reflex points on the feet, hands, and outer ear. Eunice Ingham, a contemporary of Dr. Riley, is credited with the development of the foot maps still in use today. Reflexologists believe that areas and reflex points not only correspond to body organs and systems, but that appropriate pressure to areas and points (there are over 7000 in the human body) can affect the function of the corresponding organ or system, at times, instantly. Reflexologists are quick to point out that they do not claim to be able to either cure See REFLEXOLOGY Page 5 Mark Corpus is AT&T’s Rhode Island Retail Sales Manager.

It is actually an ancient practice that began in India, and was introduced in the United States by a medical doctor who began recommending it to his patients in the 1990’s. Just as oil makes an effective skin cleanser, taken orally, oil is able to cut through plaque and remove toxins without disturbing the teeth or gums. Ayurvedic literature describes oil pulling as capable of both improving oral health and treating systemic diseases such as diabetes and asthma. While evidence supporting those claims is lacking, studies have suggested efficacy with regard to oral hygiene. Online testimonials are far more conclusive, with people claiming all sorts of benefits, chief among them, whitened teeth and cured gingivitis symptoms. All you need to do to give it a try is rinse your mouth with about one tablespoon of oil for 15–20 minutes on an empty stomach, spit it out, and rinse. Sesame, sunflower, and coconut oil are the types most recommended. If you are considering incorporating this into to your routine, coconut oil might have the most appealing flavor for the breakfast hour. Might as well give it a try — it can’t hurt, and it could help. Worst case, you lose a tablespoon of oil and gain a greasy mouth.

Dobbin, MD Steven F. Freedman, MD When food attacks BY CHRIST Y NADALIN Allergic triggers few in number, but common in the typical American diet Food allergies, particularly among children, are on the rise. According to a 2013 study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, food allergies among children increased approximately 50 percent between 1997 and 2011 — but nobody knows why. In the worst cases, an allergic reaction may even lead to death. But a new study at the Children’s Research Center at Bradley Hospital is trying to determine if kids can be taught to cope with their allergies using a tool with which most are already intimately familiar: video games. Bradley staff psychologist Elizabeth McQuaid, Ph.D., is leading a research team that is testing a new game designed to teach kids how to manage their allergies, and it is targeted to kids who are allergic to the food most often likely to trigger a severe reaction: peanuts. The game, if effective, will teach kids how to better manage allergy symptoms, navigate social situations, and avoid the offending food. According to McQuaid, “Pediatric food allergy is a serious health issue that now affects approximately 4 to 8 percent of children. Yet, very few resources for children exist to promote effective management strategies.” McQuaid and her team are collaborating with a virtual reality and software development company called Virtually Better, Inc., to design and test the game, which is targeted to children between the ages of 8 and 12. In the game, players will progress through virtual scenes structured to educate about food avoidance, symptom detection, and reaction management. In one scenario, a player may need to negotiate peer pressure to accept “trigger” foods. Another might feature a virtual food pantry and a label-reading game. Bullying issues are also addressed. Researchers will use the result of this initial test to improve the content, with the goal of “incorporating social scenarios such as birthday parties, family picnics, and other events where children with food allergies face disease management challenges,” said Josh Spitalnick, Ph.D., psychologist and vice president of research at Virtually Better, Inc. Only eight foods account for 90 percent of all allergic reactions: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish and shellfish. Most of these allergies develop in childhood and some, like cow’s milk, egg, and soy allergies, are typically outgrown before school age. Peanut and tree nut allergies, as well as fish and shellfish allergies, tend to be lifelong. There is no cure for food allergies: avoidance and management of allergic reactions are the keys to living with the condition. Public information has gone a long way toward educating the general population about the severity of food allergies in recent years. Most schools will have peanut and tree nut-free classrooms (if not a schoolwide ban) and on airplanes, the formerly ubiquitous mini bags of salted and shelled peanuts have gone the way of the smoking section. People are coming to understand and accept the fact that, for a person with severe allergies, exposure is not a matter of a couple of itchy hives — it can kill. One Canadian mother made headlines recently for the unconventional tactic of filing a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario against her 6-year-old daughter’s school, which has refused to restrict eggs and dairy on school grounds, despite the fact that exposure has sent the child into anaphylactic shock nine times. It’s an unprecedented case that will likely have an impact on how schools and other public institutions shape their food allergy policies. But it also underscores the need for allergy sufferers and their parents to focus on avoidance and treatment, because the environment can be a difficult variable to control. This is why programs such as the one being tested at Bradley are so valuable. According to Spitalnick, of Virtually Better, “This initial software program will act as a template, so that in the future we can offer an interactive and engaging program for children with other food allergies beyond the peanut specific trial game, as well as other chronic conditions requiring self-management, such as asthma, diabetes, and celiac disease.” For facts about food allergies, visit www.foodallergy.com.

According to a new book by a top neurophychiatrist, there is no doubt that physical exercise is crucial for peak mental performance. The revolutionary new science of exercise is detailed by Harvard Medical School John Ratey, MD Professor John Ratey, MD., in his new book “Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and The Brain.” According to Ratey, we can maximize students’ academic performance and positively impact their mental health by incorporating movement and exercise into our schools (not to mention our workplaces.) It has become Dr. Ratey’s mission to reengineer schools and businesses as well as individual lifestyle practices. With the publication of “Spark,” Ratey has established himself one of the top experts in the brain-fitness connection. In addition to over 60 peer-reviewed articles in neuropsychiatry, Ratey has written eight books and co-authored the groundbreaking ADD-ADHD series of books, “Driven to Distraction”, “Answers to Distraction” and “Delivered from Distraction” with Edward Hallowell, MD. First published in 1994, “Driven to Dis- traction” is considered the seminal book on the topic of attention deficit disorder, and to this day remains a bestseller. Dr. Ratey maintains a private practice in Cambridge, Mass. and is currently working on a new book, “Go Wild” that examines our genetic roots and their influence on our psychology in a modern world. It is scheduled to be published by Little, Brown in April.

D’Atri’s observations are meant to be taken for what they are — observations — to increase awareness of your body and be taken to a medical doctor for follow up if needed. That in itself is a tremendous benefit, but where the practice is most valuable is as a complementary therapy for patients dealing with anxiety, asthma, cancer treatment, and headaches, sciatica, neuropathy, hormonal imbalance, and stress. Anectodal evidence suggests that reflexology can lessen and and eliminate nausea resulting from chemotherapy treatments, and when practiced as part of a health maintenance plan, leads to a marked reduction in sick leave and absenteeism. Tragedy and serendipity lead to a calling D’Atri became interested in Medical Reflexology in 2000, when her brother was losing his battle with colorectal cancer. One day, near the end of his life, she was trimming his toenails. “The act of touching his feet relaxed him so instantly and completely that he fell asleep on the spot,” she says. It made her think more about the footbody connection that, at this point, was wicked BIGdeals .com well mapped out. She was in the process of relocating to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and discovered that coincidentally, her new home was a short distance from Lorena Telepo, whose International Academy of Medical Reflexology was the only such institution at the time. It was, it seemed, meant to be. D’atri trained under Telepo and began practicing in 2005. She has been practicing in Bristol since 2007. These days, D’Atri splits her time between Hair, Heart & Soul in Bristol, where she meets clients by appointment; Franklin Court, where a coterie of repeat elderly clientele appreciate the benefits reflexology brings to their health maintenance plans; and Hematology and Oncology Associates of Rhode Island and the Gloria Gemma Foundation. Here, her ability to give comfort and relief to cancer patients brings her journey full circle to the day she found her gift, ministering to her sick brother. A combination of coursework, apprenticeship, and continuing education taught D’Atri the practical skill of reflexology, but it doesn’t take long to see that she naturally brings an intangible, yet critical benefit to the table: her true, abiding passion for her work. “This is my gift,” she says. “My life’s work.” SAVE 50% OR MORE On great products & services from merchants in the East Bay.

NOTICE hen I was growing up, my favorite part of going to see the dentist was reading “Highlights for Children” magazine in the waiting room. In addition to catching up with the Timbertoes family, I loved cringing at “Goofus and Gallant” and seeing how one Cara CROMWELL boy could never get it right while the other always knew how to behave. This week, a giant version of Goofus emerged in the form of Alex Rodriguez as he and his attorneys tried to negotiate away his suspension. He just doesn’t seem to understand that it’s time to give up. He’s now officially the black sheep of Major League Baseball and despite his numbers, the Hall of Fame voters may be disinclined to vote for him, just as they have shunned Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. While he’s never failed a test, records from a clinic that distributed performanceenhancing drugs indicate that he was a client. The clinic’s founder admitted that he injected Rodriguez himself. A-Roid needs to own up to what he’s done, accept his punishment and spend the 2014 season trying to figure out a way to look the other players in the eye. He went from having one friend to zero this week when his lawyer insinuated that David Ortiz was a PE user. Clearly there are many other baseball players who have used banned substances, but A-Rod got caught, refused to admit his violation and MLB is going to make an Our Lady of Mt.

Sorry Goofus, you need to serve your suspension and start acting more like Gallant. I bet that even your mother thinks you’re a jerk. This week I saw Gallant in Mayor Allan Fung. He sat before a roundtable of reporters and described his car accident that killed a man, breaking down with emotion. While he handled the disclosure as well as he could, the truth is that he owned up to it long ago. Even though there is nothing he could have done differently to prevent the accident, he did what he could for the family of the man he killed and made every effort to disclose the accident when a question came up. The most important thing is that he told the truth – the same truth – every time. Because of that, he’s not just a sympathetic figure, but an admirable one. He’s not the flashiest candidate in the race, he’s not going to have the most money and frankly, he’s a bit of a long shot. But if his handling of this accident as a 19 year-old and its disclosure as a 42 year-old is any indication, he’s honest and decent to the core. It is unfortunate that politics appears to attract more Goofi than Gallants. From the politicians who have padded their wallets to those that have used it as a platform to attract and prey on women, we hear a lot about the Goofi we’ve elected. While Rhode Island has been in a bit of a lull from corruption (not counting the former legislator who was jailed last week) we have certainly had our share. But as someone who has spent many years in and out of capital buildings, town halls and congressional offices, I can report that the overwhelming majority of people in public service are more similar to Allan Fung than Anthony Weiner. Having said that, Mayor Fung certainly earned his spot on the Gallant list this week and I am hopeful that he can put the past behind him and let his behavior stand as a model for all our Highlights readers around the state.

Pictured are members Dean DePalma, Eric Leffingwell and Eric Komiega, all of Bristol. The event is a fund-raiser for the East Bay Food Pantry and features a buffet and a cash bar and raffles. Rocking cans for five years rolling The East Bay Food Pantry’s 5th Annual ‘Rock the Can’ event will be held this Friday, Jan. 24, at at Jacky’s Galaxie, 383 Metacom Ave., in Bristol. Doors open at 6 p.m., and tickets are $25. There will be a buffet, raffles, and live entertainment by acoustic trio Rendition, and local classic rock bands Ear Candy, The Repercussions, and Band of Brothers. According to Eric Leffingwell, a member of both Rendition and Band of Brothers, the bands are comprised of several local musicals who have donated their time — many since the event’s incarnation — to raise money for the East Bay Food Pantry. They include Leffingwell, Eric Komiega, Rick Komiega, Lenny Vales, Nick Smith, Dean DePalma, and Ed Rashed. “It’s been wonderful,” said Eric Komiega, looking back at the last five years playing one of the most profitable events of the Food Pantry’s fundraising year. “It’s a great cause and anytime we are able to help, we’re glad to do it.” Support the hungry and homeless Tiverton Ccommunity Food Drive, “Soup Kitchen” and Homelessness Awareness Sleep Over begins Monday, Jan. 27, and continues through Feb. 3 The Amicable Congregational Church, 3736 Main Road in Tiverton, will sponsor a town wide food drive to support Tiverton’s food pantires, East Bay Community Action Program and Old Stone Food Pantry. Due to increased prices in fuel, there is an even greater demand on food pantries throughout the state this winter. Area residents may drop off nonperishable food items all week at Amicable, Saints Christopher & Theresa’s Churches, Stone Bridge branch of BankNewport, Gray’s Ice Cream, and the Tiverton public libraries. In conjunction with the town wide food drive, Amicable will host a simulated soup kitchen as its monthly dinner, and a homelessness awareness sleep over on Saturday, Feb. 1, to help raise awareness of the plight of the homeless in our state and throughout the world. Beginning at 6 p.m., soup, salad beverages and dessert will be served in Amicable’s dining room. The public is welcome to attend, and free will donations will be accepted at the door. Proceeds from this dinner will benefit Amicable’s operating budget. Amicable Church’s youth group and their chaperones will be served dinner before spending the night out of doors. Amicable’s front lawn becomes “box city” with the youth setting up refrigerator boxes as temporary shelter. The youth have been asked to find sponsors for their overnight, with the funds raised going to Crossroads Rhode Island, the only 24-hour, sevenday-a-week drop in shelter for Rhode Island’s homeless. All are welcome to attend the “soup kitchen” dinner and visit on this night. Please contact the church office at 401/624-4611 for more information on becoming a drop-off location for the food drive, soup kitchen details, or to sponsor a youth for the sleepover. Donations may also be sent directly to Crossroads Rhode Island or the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. This is a chance for the greater Tiverton community to come together and offer support and hope to those in our state who are in need.

Either way, every year around this time I decide that this is the year I will grow vegetables in the garden. For real — not just what comes up in the compost pile. I’m forgetting that I did plant Kristin kale, cabbage, GREEN lettuce, and basil last year and the woodchuck ate it all down to nubs. Which is the same thing he/she did the year before that. And the year before that. And so on. Or else it was the bunnies. Every year I think I (meaning my carpenter) should build a raised bed tall enough to keep critters out of the veg. And every year so far I have not decided before spring planting where to put it. Nor have I bothered to buy the lumber or stockpile enough soil to fill it. I’m guessing that once I decide where it goes (in full sun somewhere near the kitchen door) it will need to stand a good 18” high. The other option I have is to surround my vegetables with fencing. Eight feet high is about right to keep deer out (it’s probably only a matter of time before they wander every Bristol street as freely as gulls do), but bunnies and woodchucks are tricksters. To deter them, a much shorter fence No matter what the season, microgreens can be grown near a sunny window year-round. Snow pea shoots, red beets, purple and green basil, pak choi, cilantro, parsley and mesclun mix germinate and grow to microgreen size in about two weeks. will do as long as it’s made of an unchewable metal mesh and is set deep in the ground. And if I really want to give those guys a challenge, the bottom of the fence should probably even curve outwards a little. I am a lazy McGregor, though, and that’s much more digging than I’m usually inclined to do. Are fresh homegrown vegetables worth it? Probably. Everyone says so. To find out, I’m going to start by growing microgreens. (I’ve said this before...) All of my favorite seed companies, like Renee’s Garden, John Scheepers Kitchen Garden, Botanical Interests, and Johnny’s, just to name a few, have done the hard work of combining seeds that sprout at the same time into blends with flavor pro- files ranging from mild to spicy. Botanical Interest’s seventeen green “Sassy Salad,” which includes arugula, nine lettuces, two mustards, Swiss chard, endive, spinach and bok choy, falls somewhere in the middle. Sounds delicious. If I supply enough water to keep the seeds and starter soil moist but not boggy, and put them in a windowsill-full of daylight, I should have at least one meal’s worth of tiny bite-sized but intensely flavorful and nutrient-rich salad garnish within two weeks. Maybe two or three meals’ worth depending on the size of the container (ironically, a store-bought salad mix box would be perfect with a few holes punched in the bottom for drainage) and my dinner party. Set inside a cachepot, a mesclun mix might even look as handsome as a houseplant as soon as it gets going and before I eat it up. The seedlings only need to be grown as far as their first set or two of true leaves before becoming supper so the trick is to have several packs growing at once but staggered in an endless succession. This will be a good test for me. I figure if I become a successful windowsill microgreen farmer, it will be a slippery slope to wanting some of the same vegetables to grow to maturity outside. Maybe it’s time I finally find a place for that raised bed. Kristin Green is the interpretive horticulturist at Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum and has written their garden blog since 2007.

But is it ethical? wo stories last week illustrate the adage that what may be legal isn’t necessarily ethical. Indeed, two men, both Democrat operatives, engaged in tawdry tricks during an election. Their respective chestthumping about Arlene their purported VIOLET vindication or soon to be vindication show just how far these pillars of society have fallen. Case number one involves Robert Horowitz, a veteran campaign consultant for Democratic candidates. Recently, he had a misdemeanor charge dismissed on constitutional grounds involving his sabotage of a candidate’s election attempt. Mind you, I am not debating the constitutionality decision but rather ruminating about his conduct and his retort after the case was dismissed. Here’s what happened. Mr. Horowitz timed an email blitz and a campaign flier to voters to arrive on the eve of the 2012 election in Smithfield against the Republican candidate, James Archer. The literature displayed a police report that led to Mr. Archer’s arrest. It neglected to mention that at the time of its sending, a judge had dismissed the charges. The material also attacked another Republican candidate for the purported “crime” of a nephew. Both Republicans lost. No doubt, there was much merriment in the Horowitz camp that the dirty tactics resulted in a victory for his candidates. Mr. Horowitz also celebrated his victory by calling the complaint lodged against him for the anonymous attacks as “sour grapes.” He added, “All my actions were legal and appropriate.”(Providence Journal, January 12, 2014). It is, indeed, sad to see a grown man justify his anonymous actions defaming a candidate when there was no time for that candidate to respond to the half-story about him. Dragging a relative’s alleged offense into an election is also reprehensible, as no nexus was established between the nephew’s activity and that of the candidate. Mr. Horowitz was quick to make sure that his record was sealed so nobody can find out what the testimony was in his trial before a magistrate. Readers of this column also know that John Leidecker, the now deputy director of the National Education Association, seeks to have his conviction of cyber-stalking overturned, also on First Amendment grounds. He sent out emails with a false email address mimicking that of Douglas Gablinske, totally misrepresenting the Warren incumbent’s position on bridge tolls. Nobody, least of all me, wants to stifle political speech. There is a slippery slope, however, where half-truths and downright lies are tolerated as acceptable political debate. Both Messrs. Horowitz and Leidecker have lost their moral compass when they engage in guttersnipe tactics and then excoriate the subjects of their attack. Whatever happened to debating folks on the merit of their positions as opposed to making things up and ambushing them with attenuated “facts?” These men may eventually be able to escape the consequences of their lies because of the sanctity of the First Amendment, but their pride in their tactics is something else again. With the ginning up of a new campaign season, voters can probably expect a blizzard of false charges now that these individuals are confident they could escape the clutches of the law. Hopefully, candidates will curb these deceits, and, if not, the voters should box them in the ears by voting for the maligned opponent. East Bay Life January 22-23, 2014 Page B11 AT THE THEATER “I ‘The Big Meal’ is rich and filling f you don’t want to waste your life,” one of the first lines in the play “The Big Meal” admonishes us, “then don’t.” And very near the end of Dan LeFranc’s short but insightful and all-encompassing play, another character, a young boy, wonders about life: “where does all the time go? It seems like a lot but when you think about it, it’s really not so much.” It gives away nothing about this play, now playing at The Gamm Theatre, to reveal that these lines and these quotes are revelatory of this beautiful play that distills the sweet and fleeting ephemera of William existence down OAKES to ninety extraordinary minutes. If food is the stuff of life then life itself is the stuff of “The Big Meal.” And this production, well directed by Tyler Dobrowsky, is a satisfying and soul-nurturing experience. The structure of this show presents staccato snap shot scenes of five generations of an American family, meeting and eating at a restaurant in Anytown USA; short takes that span eighty years and in which eight actors take on different generational roles, trading off as the years fly. This description may sound gimmicky but the effect certainly isn’t, as what we witness here spins out like a delicate web that accumulates the important little moments of our lives and captures all of the complex connections and compelling chaos that always occurs when family gets together. Life occurs at the dining room table; it is for that reason that our holiday feasts are celebrated and ritualized. And it is life and, of course, its inevitable conclusion, that is celebrated here. At the outset of the play we witness the sputtering beginnings of a life-long relationship, the kindling sparks that start to fly as a young couple meet by chance in a restaurant. These initial scenes are quite short, almost glib, others scenes lengthen, but all will linger in the memory after you leave the theatre. Short bursts of subsequent scenes that play PETER GOLDBERG Richard Donelly and Wendy Overly star in “The Big Meal,” playing through February 9 at the Gamm. out like a chain reaction will reveal the couple’s courtship, marriage, their dinners with the in-laws, the arrival of children and all the inevitable triumphs, tragedies and imbroglios the march of time will provide. “The Big Meal” is a sweet, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-breaking and ultimately life-affirming play. Anyone who has ever fallen in love, been in a family or has partaken of a tumultuous Thanksgiving dinner will recognize the scenes depicted here. But the arc of eighty years, though compressed, does demand that life’s opposite be given it’s due too. That death, our inevitable end, plays such a big part of “the Big Meal” is part of the play’s point. Life is short and, if we choose to make it so, sweet. But do so while you still can. As befitting a tale that is told onstage, set in the somewhat onstage setting of a restaurant and around the always theatrical family table the depiction of death that we get here is ritualized and is at once as formal and familiar as any table setting. I shan’t spoil or diminish this effect with description, suffice it to the say that this casually formalized stylization, though not at all grue- some, is still somewhat unsettling. But it is this inevitability that makes these fragilely forged connections of romance and family all the more precious and poignant. Especially as there is nothing extraordinary about the people we meet here; that they are more or less ordinary helps to make the point of this play strike closer to home. It is to this play’s credit that much occurs that we don’t see; the mishaps and mayhem of life are alluded to but often occur between the scenes, clues are dropped like breadcrumbs throughout and what we witness is the effects these traumas, big and little, have on those within the family unit. If this play sometimes pulls its dramatic punches we certainly see the lasting impact of hits unseen. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that the actors assembled here are so adept at creating a family unit that we come to care so deeply about in our brief time together. That we all eventually become our parents is both figuratively and literally true here, at the outset of the play Amanda Ruggerio and Joe Short play our young couple Sam and Nicole, as the play ensues they are replaced by pairings of Steve Kidd and Karen Carpenter then Wendy Overly and Richard Donelly. Along they way all switch out into other roles as the play demands. All in this ensemble are wonderful and these performers are well augmented by two young actors, Emeline Easton and Elliot Peters. Tyler Dobrowsky orchestrates these proceedings with aplomb, coaxing out of the talented ensemble, despite the necessarily rapid-fire scope of the show, the subtle dynamics that are in play here. Playwright Dan LaFranc has an uncanny and witty ear for concise, contemporary dialogue. We quickly become invested in the character’s lives so that at this “Big Meal” that spans the duration of decades, the jump-cut structure never feels jarring but inevitable (though I did wish that more time could have been spent on the courtship of the young couple before their two kids suddenly arrived on the scene.) But that is, perhaps, part of the point. The important parts of our lives occur in a flash; the intervals in between only seem to happen slowly. Time, ever fleeting, must be taken to properly prepare and enjoy the “Big Meals” of our lives with the ones we love. The theatrical feast served up by the good folks at The Gamm is sumptuous, satisfying and should not be missed. Beautiful beginnings, in this life of ours, are often left up to chance; endings never are. “The Big Meal” at The Gamm Theatre, Pawtucket, now through February 9. See listings for details.

There are so many sweeteners available, it is hard to know which ones to use, though one thing is for certain: natural is better. When used in moderation, these following naturally-occurring sweeteners can fit into a well-balanced diet.

It is frequently used in baking. Make your own brown sugar if you run out — 1 tablespoon molasses + 1 cup granulated sugar. ■ Honey is made by bees from the nectar of flowers. Honey is a liquid sweetener commonly found in cereals, baked goods, and tea. ■ Maple Syrup is made from the sap of different maple trees common to the Northeast. Vermont alone makes 5 percent of the world’s maple syrup. Beware of imitations and buy pure maple syrup whenever possible. ■ Molasses is also made from sugar cane, and it is the result of boiling sugar to a syrup consistency. Blackstrap molasses, known for its rich color and flavor, is high in calcium, magnesium, and iron. ■ Sucrose is the sweetener that we are most familiar with, otherwise known as table sugar or granulated sugar. It is naturally occurring in fruits, baked goods, jams and many other products. ■ Stevia is an alternative sweetener made from the leaves of the South American plant, Stevia. It can be up to 300 times sweeter than sugar and may have a licorice aftertaste. Look for the brands Stevia in the Raw, Truvia or SweetLeaf to try.

WARREN im Ide of Coleman Realtors in Barrington grew up in South Kingstown and graduated from the University of Rhode Island. She met her husband, Nate Ide, in Newport after college, when she worked a variety of jobs including event design and planning, on-site meeting management (which took her to almost every major city in the United States) and waitressing in between. The Ides have three active sons — Andrew, 14, and 11-year-old twins Bobby and Will. The Ides live in Barrington, where the boys attend public school. They love the town for its sense of community, the schools and its location to so many amazing cities, restaurants and beautiful beaches. WHY REAL ESTATE AS A CAREER? "Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with houses, neighborhoods and finding a fit for people. When I lived in Newport, during and after college, if I didn't rent an apartment for some reason for myself, I would call all my friends and try to get them to rent the apartment. In town here, even before becoming a Realtor, we moved three times. I was always calling my friends about houses that "popped" on the market, and my husband and I did some "flipping" as the market allowed it. We have rental properties and even the kids are on realtor.com on their own." WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT IT? " I love finding ;the right fit; for people, and I do realize that everyone has a different idea of what fits for them." ADVICE FOR BUYERS? "Ask as many questions as you need to, to make yourself comfortable before and during the process of home buying. It should not be a stressful transaction if communication is open and honest throughout the process. If a buyer surrounds him/herself with a realtor, title lawyer and loan/mortgage broker that are all supporting their goal, it makes the process less of a process and more of an enjoyable experience." FIRST JOB? "I can't believe it, but it seems the fad is back! First job was at a frozen yogurt/pickyour-own toppings place on the URI campus when I was 14." HOBBIES? "Sewing, decorat- Kim A. Ide Coleman Realtors 401-487-6928 ing, redoing furniture, carpooling and my favorite, sitting around with anyone who makes me laugh over a glass of wine." CARPOOLING, REALLY? "All three boys are on hockey and soccer teams, and then we fill in with lacrosse, baseball and golf. So I try to look at the travel as an opportunity to spend time with the family and to make it a positive — we limit electronics to longer trips and have the whole family going to the games if possible. With a husband who travels a lot, it allows for quality family time. We have friends all over the state because of the sports and always have some extra kids in River’s Edge the car or at the house!" ARE YOU CARPOOL CRAZY? "It's funny how I turn my kids' sports commitments into a lifestyle for me. If I know I have to drive 30 minutes to a rink, get them there with 30 minutes to dress and then they have practice for 1 to 2 hours, you won't find me in the car reading a magazine. You will find me in the rink, with my laptop, e-mailing clients, at the closest grocery store or my favorite — texting other parents in the parking lot to see who wants to go grab a coffee or a bite to eat!" BUCKET LIST ITEMS? "To build a house that I live in (I know I might think differently after the process!)." WHERE WOULD THIS DREAM HOUSE BE LOCATED? "Casey Key, Florida. It has amazing beaches, the sunsets are breathtaking, fish are plentiful and the community is completely understated (shoes are optional most places!)." BEST VACATION EVER? "ANY vacation is a great vacation!" DOG OR CAT PERSON? "I am a dog lover." WHAT'S YOUR BEST CULINARY CREATION? "Getting enough food on my table with three boys that eat me out of house and home everyday is good enough for me at this stage in my life." BEST PLACE FOR LUNCH IN THE EAST BAY? "Tong-D has a great lunch. And it is convenient, service is quick (or relaxed if need be) has a quiet atmosphere so you can have a quality conversation with whomever you are eating with." WHAT ARE YOU READING? "It's sad to say, I only find myself reading on vacation." The Sign you want.
