For street committee ...
Bumpy roads ahead

and maintain the road and to and provide rubbish pickup for those who live there.
Panel digs into long list of needy roads

TIVERTON — First order of
business for Tiverton's rejuvenated Street Advisory Committee
— bumpy little Lawrence Court.
Between January and April, the
panel will have met four times to
ponder the 1,380-foot road that
least west off Main Road south of
Bulgarmarsh.
And when it sorts that one out,
many more wait in the wings.
On April 23, the committee will
consider 11 unaccepted roads.
Beyond that, it may have to figure out the status of as many of
157 — nearly 18 miles worth. At
issue with these partly-private
roads is whether they deserve
town 'acceptance,' and with that
taxpayer-paid services such as
plowing, sanding, grading and
maintenance, rubbish pickup,
and lights.
Some of these streets are
paved, others are gravel, some
are a bit of each, and their widths
vary. Not all have drainage.
The committee got a taste of
what is to come when, on Feb.
19, it listened to Lawrence Court
residents. Conflicts surfaced
immediately.
Lawrence Court, which runs to
the south end of Nanaquaket
Pond fits a common pattern —
partly town, partly private, partly
asphalted, part gravel, of uneven
width, and unevenly maintained.

approves
toll delay—
with
warnings
Less than two weeks before
higher Sakonnet River Bridge tolls
were due to kick in, both the state
Senate and House budget committees voted unanimously Tuesday to push that toll deadline
back from April 1 to May 15.
The extra month and a half
gives the legislature time to act on
bills meant to provide a new
method for funding state road
and bridge work — one that
involves no toll on the Sakonnet
River Bridge.
And a day later, the Rhode
Island Turnpike and Bridge
Authority (RITBA) voted Wednesday to go along with that later
deadline. But it did so with warnings of its own.
If the General Assembly does
not allow it to hike tolls on the
Sakonnet River Bridge from 10
cents to 50 cents each way (for
those with RI transponders; $3.75
for all other drivers of cars), it will
turn responsibility for both the
Sakonnet River and Jamestown
Verrazano bridges to the state
Department of Transportation.
And it will raise tolls on the
Newport Pell Bridge to $1.04 for
those with Rhode Island EZ-Pass;
$5 for everyone else.
David Darlington, RITBA's
board chairman, said the agency
needs to take those steps to assure
bond holders that there will money to pay for maintenance projects, some of which have already
been contracted.
"RITBA cannot acquire or manage bridge assets without an
appropriate and reliable revenue
stream that supports the maintenance of those assets … The tencent, so-called 'placeholder'

TIVERTON — Conservation
activist Garry Plunkett was honored Saturday, March 8, by the
Rhode Island Land Trust Council
as the 2014 recipient of the Peter
Merritt Award for Land Conservation.
The award was conferred at the
11th Annual Land & Water Conservation Summit held at the University of Rhode Island. It is given
annually to a local volunteer who
makes an outstanding contribution to land conservation in his or
her community.
Connie Lima, president of the
Tiverton Land Trust (TLT) presented the award.
"Garry is our town's 'Environmental Renaissance Man'," she
said. "He is a champion of all conservation and land preservation
causes. Throughout his volunteer
life, he has served on numerous
boards and commissions."
"Garry is the go-to person
whenever there are questions
about the woods, native flora and
fauna, our town’s colonial history
or the history of open space in
Tiverton," Ms. Lima said.
“The work he does speaks for
the man," she said. "All who
know Garry, are inspired by his
devotion to good conservation
practices within our town and
beyond, who feel comfortable
and confident in seeking his
advice. We all know what a gift
we have in him. We are lucky to
have such a generous friend and
mentor.”
"When he served on the Planning Board," Ms. Lima said, "he
was instrumental in developing
Tiverton’s Comprehensive Land
Use Plan. He was chair, then cochair of the Tiverton Open Space
Commission (TOSC), and now
holds the Stewardship Coordinator position overseeing 850 acres.
He spent many years as a member
of the TLT's Land Protection Committee and continues to serve on
the Land Trust’s Advisory Board."
"Garry has authored the majority of stewardship management
plans for the town’s open space
and land trust properties. He
helps guide and direct projects
and grant writing activities which
currently include a three-year, 15acre meadow restoration project
funded by Natural Resources Con-
servation Services in Weetamoo
Woods."
Mr. Plunkett was also lauded for
his work on invasive species projects and site design work on the
Highland Woods project adjacent
to Fort Barton Woods.
He has presented numerous
talks on natural history and conservation topics to schools, community groups, the Rhode Island
Wild Plant Society and the New
England Wild Flower Society.
Extending his influence outside
of town lines, he currently serves
as Tiverton’s liaison to the East Bay
Energy Consortium, a wind energy project for East Bay communities.
The award honors Peter Merritt,
a founding and dedicated board
member of the Aquidneck Land
Trust.
Mr. Merritt advocated tirelessly,
the Land Trust Council said, "for
open space preservation, and was
an eloquent spokesperson for the
need for sustainable conservation. His enthusiasm and persuasive arguments were a catalyst for
action that changed our landscape forever."

Competitor unveils its ferry for Prudence Island
M/V Herbert C. Bonner
will hold 22 vehicles
First A&R Marine got the goahead to operate a ferry service
between Prudence Island and
Bristol.
Now the company has struck a
deal for its boat.
“We would like to introduce
you to the M/V Herbert C. Bonner,” A&R Marine stated in an email that went out last week.
“She was built by the North Carolina ferry systems, department
of transportation, to run
between Hatteras and (Ocracoke) Island, N.C.”
A&R has had a pending sale
agreement on the vessel for the
“last six or more months,”
according to the e-mail.
“We are now preparing to move
her into the shipyard where she
will be retrofitted to suit our
needs,” stated the e-mail.
The boat is 112 feet long and 40
feet wide and its current design
allows for 25 regular vehicles, but
the capacity will be reduced under
A&R’s modifications.
“She has two bathrooms and
one upstairs cabin. We are having
a handicapped-accessible cabin
built on the first deck along with a
cargo space area designed for
wheelie carts, carry-on baggage
and small deliveries. This will
bring our regular vehicle capacity
down to 22, but it will provide
more space for walk-on passengers,” the e-mail stated.
As to why the Bonner was taken
out of service, A&R said she had
become too small to serve North
Carolina’s needs.
“The vessels of this class have all
been replaced with ones that carry a minimum of 52 vehicle and
some carrying much more,”
according to the e-mail.
Pat Rossi of A&R stated on the
“Heard Around the Dock” Facebook page that the company
hopes to run the ferry out of Bristol and is “working out the
details.”
A lease for the parking lot on
Thames Street between the Town
of Bristol and Prudence Island
Ferry Inc. is set to expire June 14.
Prudence Island Ferry owner
Bruce Medley, however, said he’s
confident that the lease will be
extended.
On Prudence, A&R would most
likely lease property adjacent to
Mr. Medley’s dock that’s owned by
the Town of Portsmouth.
The M/V Herbert C. Bonner will have a capacity of 22 vehicles and two
bathrooms, according to A&R Marine.

asphalted — is plowed and sanded by the town. That portion is
straight, and goes downhill from
Main Road.
The remainder, which is gravel
and narrower, loops south off at
the west end of the public
stretch.
That loop is also plowed and
sanded — has been for years —
but only because snowplows
can't turn around and must continue around the loop, says
Department of Public Works
(DPW) Director Steve Berlucchi.
They might as well plow and
sand the loop while they do so,
he says.
Residents said they want all the
services the road has been getting in the past to continue, even
on the private and unaccepted
portion.
"All the residents here would
like to see it stay the way it is, the
way it's been handled, and keep
the road plowed in the winter,"
says Kevin Noyes, a resident of
the private loop section.
He's lived on the road 51 years,
19 of them with his wife Lori.
Twice a year, he says, his portion of the road is graded, and
there's trash pickup at curbside
where they live as well, even
though the road is private.
The width and condition of the
road is problematic. Ms. Noyes
says, "We have people worried
about safety issues, and whether
fire trucks can get in and out."
Downhill from them, also on
the private section, lives Duane
Frank, 78.
"The way its set up now works
out good," he said. "The town
comes through in the winter and
plows. They come through in the
spring and grade the road. Then
we don't see them again until the
winter … They do notify us in
case of a hurricane, because it
does get flooded." He lives about
50 yards from the shore of
Nanaquaket Pond.
"There are 20 some people
who live down here. We'd like
services like the rest of the town.
Why should we pay more taxes
than they're paying just because
we live near the water. Just take
care of us a little bit."
Uphill, on the public and
asphalted portion of the road,
lives Larry Tittemore, 73, a retired
highway engineer.
"How in hell did Tiverton get
into this situation in the first
place. In most communities, you
can't develop unless it's on an
accepted street. Tiverton got
itself into this problem. No one
did it to them."
Mr. Tittemore talked about the
solution. "The first thing they
have to do is define the problem.
There's a lot of questions. For
example, say there's a fire. If the
firefighters respond, you're

Guidance please
After hearing from Lawrence
Court residents, the committee
sought guidance from the Town
Council.
The committee needs clarification about what we're supposed
to be doing, committee secretary
Audrey Gloddy told the council
at its meeting Monday, March 10.
"You are the advisory committee. You can make any recommendation you want," said President Roderick at the end of the
council debate.
"But you're leading these people down a path, if a recommendation cannot be approved by
the council," said Town Clerk
Nancy Mello. Ms. Mello has
attended multiple street committee meetings over the years
and has heard the complaints
and frustrations of many residents who live along the roads
under discussion.
Ms. Gloddy told the council
what the committee's problem
is.
"One week we're being told we
can't do private property, the
next week we're being told we
can do it," she said. "Sometimes
we follow the charter, sometimes
we don't have to."
Ms. Gloddy lives at the intersection of Crandall Road and

Cynthia Avenue, and her driveway feeds onto both roads.
She knows about the troubles
Cynthia Avenue has had recently
— it's in such terrible condition
that twice since Dec. 24, even
though it's not accepted by the
town, the town has graded and
graveled it, for public safety reasons, the town says.
Councilor Jay Lambert proposed broadening the authority
of the street committee, to
include
recommendations
regarding financing any recommendations it might make about
unaccepted roads. His proposal
was not supported by other
councilors.
Many of the unaccepted
streets fail to meet town standards and would have to be
improved, at some public cost, to
meet the standards.
Council President Ed Roderick
stated advice he repeated several
real times during the meeting.

"It's the council's job to make
the decision," said Councilor
Brett Pelletier.
"You make the recommendation in the best interests of the
town as a whole, and let the
council make the decision," said
Town Solicitor Andrew Teitz.
Councilor Bill Gerlach said the
committee needed to set up a
methodology. "You've got to

are paved but not to standards,
maybe we need from the solicitor

member Joan Chabot.

Wednesday, April 23 to talk about
the Lawrence Court, and possibly make a final recommendation to the Town Council, says
Chairman Mike Normandin.
The committee's April-meeting plans also include discussing
the status of streets in three subdivisions, he said: Daniel
Church, Beech Tree Hill, and
Winterberry Woods.

Stafford Pond sediment, study says
[email protected]
TIVERTON — High horsepower boats on Stafford Pond have
an impact on the turbidity of the
pond, and potentially
impact phosphorus concentrations in its waters.
So says a study about Stafford
Pond water quality recently
released by the Stone Bridge Fire
District.
The study is not conclusive, its
author says, but "data are consistent" with that conclusion.
"The risk appears very real and
should be properly assessed if
the drinking water supply is to be
protected," the report said.
"[L]arge horsepower boats represent a risk of increased phosphorus in the upper waters of
Stafford Pond."
The impact study was commissioned at a cost of $5,000 by the
District, which manages the
pond's water supply and provides drinking water to an esti-
mated 1,100 households in Tiverton.
It was based on a study performed last summer during and
after three fishing tournaments
on the pond that involved fishing
boats with high horsepower.
The concern giving rise to the
study was the number (an estimated 16) of tournaments on the
pond last summer that involved
fishing boats powered by high
horsepower engines.
The study was conducted by
Dr. Ken Wagner, a water
resources manager at Water
Resource Services in Wilbraham,
Massachusetts.
The Report, "Assessing Boating
Impact on Stafford Pond, Tiverton, RI," was published in October 2013 and was only made
public last month.
The report qualified its conclusions. "Further assessment would
appear needed," it said, about the
possibility that boat activity on the
surface of the pond disturbs sedi-
ment on the bottom of the pond,
and that recovery from a disturbance on a pond takes longer than
on a river.
Just three tournaments were
studied, one each in the middle of
June, July, and September. The
study says the tournaments
observed "had a range of 4-7 participating boats."
The only powerboats observed
on the pond during the study were
tournament boats with large
motors.
"If there is strong interest in
keeping higher horsepower boats
on Stafford Pond," said the report,
"additional study is warranted."
Horsepower limits on the pond
are normally set at 10 hp, but during tournaments, the horsepower
of engines used on the fishing
boats has been as high as 250 hp.
The 487 acre pond has a maximum depth of 28 feet, and an
average depth of 13 feet, and is
rocky near shore but grades into
muck at greater depths.

conducted by the Bass Bums,
headed by Kevin Clark of Westport.
The event is scheduled for Sunday, May 18, from 6:30 a.m. to 3
p.m. The number of boats involved
will be from 6 to 9, according to the
Tiverton Town Clerk's office.
Tiverton Town Clerk Nancy Mello said that the Bass Bums have
been issued a permit for the tourney, having complied with town
requirements, which include identifying the person responsible for
the event, the number of boats
involved, and providing proof of
liability insurance coverage in the
amount of $1 million.
A permit for the tourney has
been also issued by the Rhode
Island Department of Environmental Management, which owns
the boat ramp leading into the
water.
At this time last year there were
19 fishing tourneys scheduled for
the pond. New permit procedures
by the Town of Tiverton, which
included an insurance coverage
requirement enacted in a town
ordinance last spring, may have
deterred many fishing clubs from
participating.

ACLU sees racial disparities
in school suspensions
School Committee
chairman vows review
BY JIM MCGAW
[email protected]
Portsmouth public schools last
year suspended black students
more than five times as often “as
would be expected based on
their school population,” according to a report issued last week
by the Rhode Island affiliate of
the American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU).
In addition, the report says the
district suspended Hispanic students more than three times as
often as would be expected.
The ACLU’s “Blacklisted: An
Update” report found that overall, Rhode Island’s public schools
last year disproportionately suspended black students at the
highest rates in nine years. White
students, meanwhile, were suspended at record low rates, says
the ACLU.
“Like black children, Hispanic
students remained severely oversuspended, with these disparities reaching all the way to the
lowest grades. In addition, students generally — including elementary school children — were
given out-of-school suspensions
at alarming rates for minor disciplinary infractions,” states the
report.
Black students represent about
2.4 percent of the student body in
the Portsmouth public schools,
but they accounted for about 13.3
percent of the students suspend-
“I think the Portsmouth
School Committee
needs to look at its
hiring practices.”
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
CHAIRMAN DAVID CROSTON
ed last year, according to the
report. As for Hispanics, they
make up about 3.3 percent of the
student population but represented about 11.4 percent of the students who were suspended, the
report states.
“Portsmouth public schools last
year suspended black students
5.56 times as often as would be
expected based on their school
population and suspended Hispanic students 3.41 times as often
as expected. By comparison,
white students in Portsmouth
were suspended 1.05 times as
what would be expected,” the
report states.
Contacted Tuesday, School
Committee Chairman David
Croston said the committee
needs to take the ACLU report
seriously.
“We will review the statistics,”
Mr. Croston said. “We have
reached out to (the R.I Department of Children Youth & Families) this year to discuss how we
can transition group home participants better into our high school,
(which) I hope will help in discipline.”
He added, “I think the
Portsmouth School Committee
needs to look at its hiring practices and we need to do a better
job of attracting a more representative faculty that best represents
every ethnicity that would be in
our population.”
Asked whether he thinks the relatively small percentage of blacks
and Hispanics in the Portsmouth
school system may have skewed
the numbers reported by the
ACLU, Mr. Croston replied: “This
begs for us to look at our practices
and the statistics underlining the
suspensions. It’s too easy to say
that, because of our socioeconomic makeup, this whole thing
can easily be explained away. I
actually believe it’s our duty irrespective to where our students are
coming from that we have a better
balance.”
The School Committee, Mr.
Croston said, needs to look at
addressing “why there is such a
disparity in the ethnic makeup in
our disciplinary action.”
Followup report
The “Blacklisted” report is a
followup to one the ACLU issued
in June 2013, which examined
eight previous years of suspension data.
“But the latest statistics
demonstrate that the inappropriate and discriminatory use of
out-of-school suspensions —
even at the elementary school
level — continues unabated
across Rhode Island,” the new
report states.
“Blacklisted: An Update” is
available at www.riaclu.org.
Toll delay approved

added as a rider to the budget at
the end of last year’s session is
clearly insufficient to cover RITBA’s revenue needs through July 1
and beyond," Mr. Darlington
wrote before the series of votes.
"When the executive and legislative branches approached us
to consider taking responsibility
for the Sakonnet River and
Jamestown Verrazano bridges we
clearly stated that we could not do
it using Newport Pell Bridge revenues," he added.
Without clear sources of revenue, Mr. Darlington said that
RITBA is at risk of seeing its bond
rating downgraded which would
boost costs and possibly force further toll hikes.
A new statewide method of
funding road and bridge work was
devised by a toll study committee
and is now being considered by
both the Senate and House budge
committees. It would provide
about $1 billion over the next
decade with money from a num-
ber of sources, among them:
■ Nearly half would come from
dedicating 1.5 percent of state revenue (phased in over six years) to
a roads and bridges trust fund.
■ As DOT debt is paid down,
money that had gone to that debt
would also be placed in the fund.
■ If the state is allowed to collect sales tax on internet purchases, thus cutting the state sales tax
to 6.5 percent, that new sales tax
rate would be bumped up to 6.625
percent with the extra dedicated
to roads and bridges.
■ The only "new" revenue
would come from a 5 percent surcharge on all motor vehicles fees,
a charge that would be limited to
five years.
■ The bill would eliminate the
RI Turnpike and Bridge Authority
except as an agency to toll the
Newport Bridge, and would place
RITBA within the DOT.
"I think we have a way forward"
for all of the state's road and
bridge needs," said Sen. Louis
DiPalma, who introduced the
Senate version. The identical
House plan was introduced by
Rep. Jay Edwards.

DEPLOYED, AGAIN AND
AGAIN AND AGAIN
One of the great truths of the war in Iraq (and
Afghanistan still) was that nearly all its burdens were endured by a tiny percentage of the
population. There was no draft, no higher
taxes. If you were in the military you served—
which means you deployed, again and again
and again—while the rest of the county carried
on as though the nation were at peace.

Life is too short
W
estport, likeTiverton, has heard it all
before — that politics here is more
about the fight than the fix, that debate
is too quick to take a personal, nasty
turn, and that there's a north-south
divide that supposedly influences most everything.
This time, though, the message comes from two 'outside'
experts who bring decades of perspective to the fray.
Westport Town Administrator Jack Healey announced
last week that he'll be leaving after June. Going with him
will be Business Manager Steve Lombard.
Both have long experience in local government in a long
list of Massachusetts

ment and then, with a
[email protected] municipal pension clicking in, went back to the
same work part-time. Theirs is an often-followed and
lucrative 'retirement' route around here.
And now both say life is too short for what they've
endured in Westport.
He's used to disagreement, Mr. Healey said. It comes
with the territory. It's the venom that often accompanies
argument in this town that startled him.
"People need to develop a culture of civility," he said.
"We have all got to be able to disagree agreeably. It's
learned behavior but we've got to unlearn it."
It's especially exasperating, he said, because the town
has so much important work that needs attention.
Schools, infrastructure — everything — are suffering
from years of underfunding and neglect. And the town's
technology and communications systems are a decade
behind many other places.
Yet these big-picture issues too often take a back seat to
spats that play out endlessly — wind turbines/solar power,
sidewalks, Beach Avenue, housing, CPC, ponds — churning up resentment with little to show for it.
It's enough to make professionals like Mr. Healey and Mr.
Lombard (neither of whom needs the work) wonder why
they bother.
Beautiful town, Mr. Healey added. Wonderful people.
May they someday realize that they are all on the same
team.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
No justification for a Tiverton planner
To the editor:
Again this year the Town Council has presented a
budget request for a planner. They even started to
advertise for one.
This town has seen little to no commercial growth.
The revenue reports and the tax assessments show
evidence of this. High taxes and draconian regulations, both at the town and state level, turn businesses away. They open in Fall River, passing Tiverton by.
There are reports given to the town council monthly on planning activity. Those reports also show very
little activity. So where is the justification for a full
time planner? So why are they advertising for one
when the money has not yet been approved by the
voters?
As a member of the Budget Committee who has
seen first-hand the struggle people in town are hav-
ing to stay above water, it is my duty to cut unneeded
spending from the budget. I have no intention voting
for a full time planner. The need is not there and it
won't be until the elected council changes the regulations that inhibit growth in town.
The budget this year will in my opinion only need
to be increased one percent to cover the pay raises
given out by the School Committee and Town Council.
Next Thursday, the Budget Committee will be voting on the final draft for the budget. People who have
concerns should come to town hall at 7 p.m. and
voice their opinion.
You get the government you elect.
Joe Sousa
Member,
Tiverton Budget Committee
Planner offers much more than writer suggests
To the editor:
Joe Sousa says he will not vote
for hiring a town planner
because the town has not seen
any commercial growth, but it is
for this reason, among many
others, that Tiverton should hire
a town planner.
Mr. Sousa misrepresents and
misunderstands the role of a
town planner as one with a single
purpose of immediate economic
prosperity, putting Tiverton’s
long-term economy, health, and
quality of life at risk.
So what does a town planner
do? Briefly, they plan for both the
present and future needs of the
town as a whole. They collect and
analyze information such as
demographics, history, land
types and usability, utilitarian
networks (such as power lines,
roads, and water supplies), housing, the economy, water bodies,
and open and recreational
spaces. They understand that
these features that make up a
town are interconnected and
contribute to the overall health
and quality of life of the people

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Keep classes small but eliminate
fat from school budget
To the editor:
Ralph, Roger, Roy, Robert,
George and Pat,
You are wrong, dead wrong, on
the education front. There is
nothing wrong with 12 per class
— we might actually get some
quality education into the Little
Compton children with that ratio
of teacher to student.
However you are right dead
right on everything else in the
school budget that does not pertain to actual education — fat
added to budget via school committee i.e phantom students.
If the Wilbur School teachers
are so good, why are not any
commentating on this letter.
Specifically the math teachers
could point out that very good
math teachers each with 12 students will produce exactly what
America desperately needs —
citizens that can evaluate the
one percent of sense and fact
from the 99 percent junk they are
fed by politicians, their banker,
their insurance agent, even their
medical advisor.
A young brain happy with numbers makes an adult unafraid of
numbers and capable of telling
the difference between hype and
fact — the essential ingredient for
a happy, economically viable family. Keep the school budget rise
below 2 percent, spend more on
good teachers for teaching, and
spend on nothing else —
absolutely nothing else. The
future of Little Compton is very
much related to our children and
how we treat them and how we
educate them. Further a grant has
been applied for to clean up the
Porter Cabin site and turn it into
playing fields and a walking path
so that does not need to be in the
school budget.

Town needs a good planner
From FACING PAGE
that live there.
Towns are complex systems
and planners help to find the
balances between these systems
for the benefit of the whole town,
not just a single system or single
property owner. That sort of single-mindedness results in the
all-too-familiar strip malls and
big box developments that may
add short-term financial growth,
but ultimately detracts from the
scenic and social character of
Tiverton, and adds to the needless degradation and destruction
of important natural resources
that keep the community safe
and healthy as well as the loss of
important social and historical
connections, and increases
demands on fire, police, and
public works resources.
Good town planners suggest
opportunities for commercial
viability that are complementary
to the town’s resources, quality of
life, history, and long-term goals.
They engage the community in a
dialogue about the goals and
issues of their town and make
recommendations to build a
framework to get to those goals.
The barrage of inappropriate
development proposals that disregard Tiverton’s basic qualities
of size and assets of natural
resources illustrate the necessity
for the expertise of a town planner.
Joe Sousa’s parochial view of
the role of a town planner is a
threat to his own concerns for an
economically healthy Tiverton.
Decisions about commercial
growth will have an effect on
other features and systems of
Tiverton, including those qualities that make Tiverton a desirable place to live. Joe Sousa lacks
the foresight and vision of an
economically successful town
that does not abuse its natural,
historic, and social resources in
the process.
This is the justification for hiring a town planner, Mr. Sousa.
Please respect the people who
live here now and 30 years from
now. Your concern should not be
the hiring of a town planner, but
the exemplary qualifications of a
candidate that can guide Tiverton through this process with
dignity and care for the beautiful
people and place of Tiverton.

Roadside slobs have been busy this winter
To the editor:
The Sogkonate Garden Club of
Little Compton has a once-amonth litter patrol on local roads.
Our towns have more people who
litter than people who pick up litter. Usually four to six people help
and two miles of road can be
picked up in an hour.
It is typical to fill a 30-pound
trash bag with litter in less than 15
minutes on any principal roadway. The busier the road, the more
litter. Roads leading to the transfer
station and beaches have the
most litter. Someone who travels
on Willow Avenue must need alcoholic abuse counseling since we
find an inordinate number of
empty vodka nips and pint bottles
on this road.
You will be happy to hear, when
we clean the Town Landing, baseball parking field or other secluded areas, that the underwear your
daughter is missing was found
and is now part of a collection.
Also there is a good chance your
son has been using a condom.
This is a particularly unsightly
time of year for our roads since,
without the weeds, litter becomes
more visible. Litter does not disappear easily; while some litter
rots, most just stays there to corrupt beauty.
We see many regular walkers
who could be taking their strolling

Man sentenced for Tiverton drive-by shooting
[email protected]
TIVERTON — A 44-year-old Fall River man
has been handed a 20-year prison term by a
Superior Court judge for a drive-by shooting
last April at a pub on Stafford Road.
Tiverton police announced Tuesday that
Scott Campbell had been given the sentence
in connection with Rhode Island charges of
felony assault with a dangerous weapon, drive-by shooting, use of a firearm when committing an act of violence, and not having a
permit for a pistol.
Mr. Campbell will actually serve three-andone-half years of the 20-year term, with 16
and one-half years suspended.
The shooting occurred at Benjamin's
Sports Pub shortly before midnight on April
6, 2013. Police at the time said two shots were
fired from a passing car into the pub, which is
located at the border
between Tiverton and Fall
River.
Tiverton Police Captain
Patrick Jones said one of
the two shots hit the side of
the building, while the other went through the front
glass door and struck a person inside. The victim was
Scott Campbell treated for non-fatal shoulder injuries at Rhode island
Hospital.
Witnesses told police that the shooter was
driving an orange Dodge Neon.
Within 35 to 40 minutes of the shooting,
Fall River police traced the vehicle to a Fall
River residence and found the car parked in
the driveway. Captain Jones said police found
"two spent casings" in the vehicle.
After entering the house and finding Mr.
Campbell inside, police read the suspect
Miranda warnings, and obtained consent to
search the premises. Police found a .380 caliber pistol in a kitchen cabinet, Captain Jones
said.
The bullet embedded in the building
turned out to match the caliber of that pistol,
Captain Jones said.
Witnesses told police that Mr. Campbell
had been inside the tavern just prior to the
shooting, then left. The shooting afterwards
"was all but contemporaneous," Captain
Jones said. According to witness accounts,
Mr. Campbell entered the tavern alone and
left alone, the captain said.

Stair climbers save a life
For Westport team,
training turns into the
real thing
BY BRUCE BURDETT
[email protected]
There is no good moment to go
into cardiac arrest but for one
Fall River woman the timing was
about as fortunate as it gets.
She had no sooner hit the floor
of the lobby at Fall River's
Riverview Towers than a Westport firefighter/EMT burst
through the front door. He was
quickly followed by four other
Westport rescuers, all wellversed in dealing with such medical emergencies.
They had had driven to
Riverview to make use of its 19floor staircase — it's a place they
had trained several times for the
Fight for Air Climb just held in
“She was still
unresponsive … and we
wound up shocking her
(with the AED
[automated external
defibrillator]).”

Chris Caswell and
Weson Thurston;

Ledoux, Tony
Ward, Bob Porawski and Keith Nickelson.
WESTPORT FIREFIGHTER
BOB PORAWSKI
Providence.
When they arrived, Westport
Firefighter Bob Porawski got out
of their vehicle so that he could
open the locked lobby door and
let the rest of the group in.
"As I walked up and looked
through the window I saw a
woman in the lobby," he said.
"But an instant later she was
gone. That was strange."
But as he walked through the
door he saw her again — now on
the floor, unconscious.
"She was not breathing, unresponsive," he said. He, joined
seconds later by the rest of the
Westport crew (Lt. Dan Ledoux
and firefighter/EMTs Tony Ward,
Keith Nickelson, and Chris
Caswell), tried to wake her up
and began CPR.
Mr. Porawski, who does parttime work with a Fall River
fire/rescue crew, happened to
have their number on his cell
phone and called for an ambulance — "and we need an AED
(automated external defibrillator), he told the dispatcher.
First to arrive was a Fall River
police officer bearing an AED.
"She was still unresponsive …
and we wound up shocking her
(with the AED)," he said. They
also started an IV line.
"Then one of the guys found a
pulse."
A Fall River ambulance arrived,
and by the time the elderly
woman was aboard, "she was
already talking. She was still pretty out of it but she was definitely
conscious."
Days later, a Fall River fire crew
went to Riverview Towers to do
some stair-climb training of their
own and encountered that same
woman.
"Are you the guys who saved
my life?" she asked them.
No, those were Westport firefighters, she was told.
"Well please thank them for
me," she replied. "They saved
me."
If timing is everything for a
person who has gone into cardiac arrest — "and it absolutely
is, this woman hit the lottery,"
Mr. Porawski said. "She literally
collapsed at the very moment a
whole team of EMts was walking
in the door. That doesn't happen
every day, it doesn't always work
out that way for us but when it
does there's no feeling like it."
Providence Fight for Air
Those same firefighters, along
with
sixth
firefighter/EMT
Thurston Weston, competed in
the American Lung Association's
Feb. 22 Fight for Air Climb up the
25-story Omni Hotel in Providence.
Like fire crews from around the
region, they raced with 50-plus
pounds worth of full turnout
gear including air packs.
Even with the training we've
done, it is "pretty brutal … I was
completely gassed at the top, we
all were. It is a race so you don't
want to have anything left at the
finish."
Mr. Porawski figures the team
finished about in the middle of
the firefighting-teams pack, a
field that included some big
teams from city departments.
Keith Nickelson got credit for the
Westport team's best time — 3
minutes and 52 seconds — but
the times of all six Westport
entries were not much more than
a minute apart.
His own time might have been
a bit better, Mr. Porawski said,
had he not seen a stair climb sign
at the 23rd floor and gone
through the door there — only to
discover he had a couple of floors
to go. "That's my excuse," he
laughed.
Training for the Westport crew
continues.
On the calendar this year are a
Tough Mudder, Tough Scrambler,
and a Warrior Dash along with a
bike race or two.
As part of their intent to add a
degree of difficulty each time,
they're hoping to lug a 120pound manikin along when the
do their next Tough Scrambler —
"if they let us."
They do all this, Mr. Porawski
said, because it's a way to keep
interest and enthusiasm up for
the training that must be done.
Physically fit firefighters and
rescuers are able to think more
clearly, "do their jobs better if
they are good shape for what can
be really exhausting work," Mr.
Porawski said.

■ Cantrip will perform on Friday, March 28, at 7:30 p.m. Doors
open at 7. BYOB and food are
allowed. Tickets are $15 at the
door and $12 in advance. Cantrip
is a trio of Scottish traditional
musicians that has been stunning
audiences on both sides of the
Atlantic for over a decade with its
driving blend of fiddle, bagpipes
and guitar.
From the strong base of its
Celtic roots, Cantrip’s music
branches out into the music of
other European cultures and has
three acclaimed releases and an
eagerly awaited fourth album in
production. Members are Dan
Houghton (pipes, whistles, flute,
bouzouki, mandolin, guitar and
vocals), Brendan Carey-Block (fiddle and vocals) and Eric McDonald (guitar, mandolin, bouzouki
and vocals).
■ Martin Swinger & Charlie
Cover will perform on Saturday,
March 29, at 7 p.m. Doors open at
6:30. BYOB and food are allowed.
Tickets are $12 at the door and $10
in advance. Martin Swinger is an
atypical 50-something singersongwriter celebrated for his fluid
tenor voice, comfortable stage
presence and engaging delivery.
He composes songs about
everything from Alzheimer’s,
autism, oysters and dyslexic theology to the adventures of Betty
Boop and Buddha. He has recorded five CDs, won local and national songwriting awards, and counts
among his fans Pete Seeger, Peter
Yarrow, Paul Stookey, Billy Jonas,
Ezra Idlet, Vance Gilbert and John

■ Rory Block and Marjorie
Thompson will perform on Sunday, March 30, at 7 p.m. Doors

Heralded as “a national treasure” (Guitar Extra) and “one of
the greatest living acoustic blues
artists” (Blues Revue), Rory Block
has committed her life and her
career to preserving the Delta
blues tradition and bringing it to
life for 21st-century audiences
around the world. The New York
Times declared, “Her playing is
perfect, her singing otherworldly
as she wrestles with ghosts, shadows and legends.” After more than
20 highly acclaimed releases, she
has five Blues Music Awards.
When Marjorie Thompson
takes the stage, tiny and blonde
and bearing a smile that carries
just a hint of shyness, her
demeanor scarcely prepares her
audience for what comes next.
The love and passion this fingerstyle guitarist and vocalist has for
the blues has led to great success
as a performer, recording artist
and teacher at Jorma Kaukonen's
Fur Peace Ranch.
She spent years studying the
licks of the country blues masters,
but writes her own songs as well.
She has recorded five studio
albums, with Michael Falzarano
(of Hot Tuna and New Riders of
the Purple Sage fame) as producer.

camaraderie among the competitors was evident. Standing together near the front of the performance area, members of the Mt.
Hope cheerleading team, among
Tiverton’s biggest fans, offered
support.
“We love (clap-clap) Tiv-er-ton!”
the team cheered in unison.
For the next two and one-half
minutes, the Tiverton team cheer-
fully performed a series of intricate flips, tumbles, pyramids and
basket catches – all while smiling
broadly – for the judges.
The team, one of six that competed in the Large Division,
moved through their routine with
strength and grace. But with only
the top two teams recognized, the
Tiverton girls were not selected.
Still, their coach was thrilled.
“This was the best performance
they’ve done all year,” said coach,
Susan McDermott. “They did
what they needed to do. I’m so
proud of them.”
The eventual winners of the
Large Division, number one,
Portsmouth High School, and
number two, Mt. Hope, were celebrated by the remaining schools.
In a sport where strength and
grace are key elements to success,
the Tiverton squad performed at
the top of their game.

OBITUARIES
Everett L. ‘Tod’ Moore Jr.
Advertising executive,
owned Stone House Club
Everett Lloyd Moore Jr.
(Tod) of Little Compton
died in Naples, Fla., on
Wednesday, March 19,
2014. Tod was born on July 27, 1929
in Englewood, NJ, the eldest son of
Everett and Edna Moore. He was
married to the late Virginia (Jinny)
Moore and is survived by four children (Michael, James, Margaret
and Robert), eight grandchildren,
eight great grandchildren, and
long-time friend and partner of the
past two years, Gloria Schaffer.
Tod lived an incredibly full life
with two successful careers, a loving family, a myriad of global travel
adventures, and decades of community involvement and service.
Tod lived in the New York/New Jersey area for most of his childhood
but moved to Webster Groves, Mo.,
for his high school years. He attended Grinnell College where he met
the love of his life and wife for 59
years, Virginia Burdett Moore.
After serving in the Korean War,
he began the first stage of his professional business career starting
with a sales position at J.C. Penny
where his father had been a vice
president. From there, he moved
into the advertising field with a
position at Ted Bates Advertising
agency in 1954. In 1963, he had a
fortuitous meeting at a business
luncheon with Eugene Katz, owner
and CEO of the Katz Agency in New
York City, and accepted a position
as director of sales development.
Mr. Katz recognized the leadership
potential in Tod and exposed him
to a number of positions within the
company, which led to his meteoric rise in the leadership of the
organization. In 1968, he was
named vice president. He became
executive vice president in 1969,
president in 1970, and in 1972 at
the age of 43 he became chief executive officer. The company thrived
financially under his leadership,
but one of his
proudest
achievements
in his role of
CEO was the
implementation of an
employee stock
ownership program (ESOP)
which transferred ownership of the company
to its employees. It was a rare event
at the time, and it represented both
his and his mentor, Gene Katz’s
vision for the democratization of
the business.
During this time at Katz, Tod and
his wife Jinny were also raising a
family of four children, first in Radburn, NJ. and then later in Darien,
Conn. They were deeply involved in
their family life and also engaged in
the community. They participated
as actors in community theater,
were active members of the Unitarian Church, raised funds for the
alternative school which two of
their children attended, became
involved in the practice of transcendental meditation, and contributed to a number of other community service efforts. At the peak
of Tod’s business career, they made
a radical decision. The demands of
Tod’s career were taking him away
from the things in life they valued
most. Together they decided it was
time for a change. In 1975, Tod left
his position at the Katz Agency.
Unsure of what his next career
move would be, Tod took his wife
and two youngest children on a
month-long trip to England and
Scotland to tour the countryside,
including Stonehenge and the spiritual community of Findhorn in
Scotland. After a month of staying
in small bed and breakfasts, the
family returned home. The next
morning, in another fortuitous
moment, Tod and Jinny read a
Myrtle L. Rounds
small classified ad in the NY Times
with the headline, “English Country
Inn for Sale” in Little Compton, RI.
The next day they drove up to see it.
After a series of family meetings
with their four children, a group
decision was made to buy the inn
and to run it together as a family.
That move began a new chapter
in Tod and his family’s life. They ran
the Stone House Club in Little
Compton from 1975 until 2007
when the business was sold to a
new owner. During the nearly 40
years from 1975 to his death, Tod
became an integral member of the
Little Compton community. The
Stone House provided a meeting
place for the community and for a
variety of business and non-profit
groups. He became an active
member in the United Congregational Church where he served as a
deacon and chair of the committee
overseeing a major expansion to
church facilities. He became
involved in the church’s service
work in Haiti for which he was later honored with an award of distinction by the RI House of Representatives. He also served on the
board of the Visiting Nurse Association and helped oversee the
expansion of services through the
Little Compton chapter. Perhaps
more meaningful than any of his
official community roles, though,
was that he became personally
involved in the lives of countless
numbers of people, providing
counsel, support and friendship.
He was always remarkably present
and overwhelmingly generous to
the many people he cared about.
He left the world a better place
than he found it. He will be greatly
missed.
A service to celebrate Tod’s life
will be held at the United Congregational Church of Little Compton
at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday April 12,
followed by a reception at the Point
Club from 12-2 p.m.

2014 SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
Blue
Summer
RICHARD W. DIONNE JR.
Learning to sail on a classic, wooden Herreshoff 12 1/2 is just one of the many opportunties that await local kids this summer. Don’t miss out — find the best fit for your children in our
annual summer camp guide, pages 1-7.
Summer in the East Bay can be the best of times —
provided you have planned well for that long school vacation
S
easoned parents know that
in the summer, a little planning and structure goes a
long way toward ensuring
your school-age kids have a
fun and fulfilling break,
with plenty of fresh air and
sunshine.
There are a lot of camp choices out
there, at all price points, and zeroing in on
the best options for your family requires
thought and research. No two kids are
alike, and a summer camp experience that
would bliss out one child might bore
another one silly. And consider your own
needs as well — do you need camp to
serve as daycare? Many camps, not in session for a full 40-hour workweek, may not
meet your family’s needs, while other
families may prefer a schedule that allows
for some unstructured beach time every
week.
Fortunately, the East Bay has a wealth of
choices, with camps ranging from the
classic archery-and-roasted marshmallow
variety to camps specializing in sports
from sailing to surfing, arts and acade-
mics; and even camps designed to help
children cope with health issues.
Many local camps are making changes
to their programs for 2014, whether developing new weekly themes, upgrading
equipment, or adding activities and
opportunities.
Do the kids want to spend the summer
learning to sail? Check out the class offerings through the East Bay Sailing Foundation, or the Herreshoff Marine Museum.
Do they love spending time with animals?
Perhaps Zoo Camp, Camp Happy Trails at
the Potter League, or a summer spent riding and learning how to care for horses at
Windswept Farm in Warren fits the bill.
Nature lovers will love the opportunities at
Audubon, Blithewold, and the Norman
Bird Sanctuary, while artists will find their
happy place through the Newport Art
Museum, Linden Place, or RISD camp
programs.
These examples are only a handful of
what’s out there. So consult our guide in

er minimum sizes to states like
New York that have historically
overfished but claim they need
more fish and lower minimum
sizes to even things out among
coastal states. However, many
observers believe that this new
regional plan is not an appropriate strategy, particularly with
stock of summer flounder on the
decline. Many fear that the new
regional plan will lead to overfishing in 2014, to the point that
highly restrictive measures may
be necessary in 2015 to get the
fishery back in line.
Last month the summer flounder advisory panel of the Rhode
Island Marine Fisheries Council
and DEM staff voted to recommend and advocate for status
quo for recreational fishing. In
other words, keep the regulations
the same as last year: an 18” minimum size, with a bag limit of 8
fish per angler per day. This recommendation was approved
unanimously by the AP even
though our regional partner
Massachusetts was at 16” last
year and wanted to stay close to
that size because they did not
overfish last year even at 16”.
Robert Ballou, chairman of the
RIMFC and a Rhode Island ASMFC member said, “The AP is coming down on the side of conservation here, not wanting a smaller
size as they believe a smaller size
would lead to overfishing in
Rhode Island.”
On March 13 the ASMFC voted
to approve Rhode Island’s (and
Massachusetts’) request to have
different summer flounder regulations. Rick Bellavance, ASMFC legislative proxy from Rhode Island
and president of the Rhode Island
Party & Charter Boat Association
said, “The Board did in fact reopen
the addendum and split Rhode
Island off into its own region. So
we will be at status quo for next
year. My thoughts are that we did
the right thing for the resource
and reduced the likelihood that
the total coastwide Recreational
Harvest Limit (RHL) will be
exceeded. On the flip side we are
making it easier for New York’s
region to overharvest on our backs
because we “should” harvest conservatively in 2014 and what we
don’t harvest will be used to offset
any other regional overages. If we
still blow the coast RHL then as I
understand it, the regions that
made the overages will have to pay
it back.”
So if recommended by the RIMFC and approved by DEM director
Janet Coit, our summer flounder
regulations for 2014 will likely be
close to last year’s.

STRAIGHT UP THE MIDDLE
L
PET OF THE WEEK
Fallout from the fall of Fox
ast Friday, Rhode Island’s political
circles were shocked to learn that
Speaker Gordon Fox’s home and
State House office were being searched by
the FBI, IRS, State Police
and agents from the U.S.
Attorney’s office. At this
writing there is still no indication of what they are
investigating or what they
were able to gather in their
raid, but in less than 12
hours, Fox went from being
Cara
the most powerful public
CROMWELL official in Rhode Island to a
political afterthought. Power abhors a vacuum and before the sun had set on Friday
night — or Fox had even made a statement
— legislators were caucusing to pick a new
leader. While the vote will take place on
Tuesday (well after press time) most House
watchers believe that Representative Nick
Mattiello of Cranston, House Majority
Leader, has the votes to be the next Speaker.
While it’s important to note that Fox has
not been indicted — or from what we can
tell, even questioned — an investigation and
a raid by federal officials indicates that there
was enough “there there” to warrant dramatic action. At the same time, he did the
right thing by resigning his speakership to
allow for a smooth transition of power and
to help take whatever scandal he might be
implicated in and put it outside the doors of
the State House. Nevertheless, the impact of
Fox’s legal problems will have a seismic
effect on Rhode Island this year.
In baseball terms, we’re in for a rebuilding
year. With the session more than halfway
over, some legislation that had been scheduled for a hearing under Speaker Fox may
never see the light of day with a new speaker
in the chair. And while Speaker Fox was likely to dissect Governor Chafee’s budget and
put his own stamp on it, the new speaker
will barely have enough time to address his
priorities. More importantly, the new Speaker is coming into leadership knowing that a
huge chunk of House members favored
another leader. To get anything passed — a
budget or a bill — will require the kind of
horse trading that a General Assembly
leader is not accustomed to. He is going to
have to be prepared to lose some votes and
share some power to get anything done.
And just like in baseball, changes in political leadership can present opportunities.
When the Red Sox imploded in 2012, trading
key players and falling to last place, most
fans thought it would be a long time before
we saw another playoff game, forget about a
World Series trophy. Rebuilding was more of
a rebirth and just a few weeks from now,
players will be putting on their new World
Series rings. The fall of Fox may have created
opportunity in the General Assembly where
few have existed in years past.
In June, candidates for office will file
paperwork to run for office and some seats
that were considered untouchable with Fox’s
support may be vulnerable, while some other members may just decide not to run. If
Mattiello’s opposition is serious, that team
will want to field a candidate in every
Democratic primary with a Mattiello loyalist
in hopes of picking up a few seats and weakening him before the new Speaker is voted
on in January. Nasty Democratic primaries
can create opportunities for Republican
candidates, particularly in suburban districts, giving new hope to the tiny GOP caucus. While we know Rhode Island can’t move
from worst to first in one year, perhaps trading a few players and getting rid of some
dead weight will provide the boost we need
to get back on track.

TRASH OR TREASURE
Mysterious Dutch silver tea set
depicts Romulus and Remus
Q. This 3-piece set was a wedding present to my mother in
1934. It was given to her by an
antique dealer in Manhattan.
The pieces are
not marked sterling but each has
3 small symbols
stamped on
their underside.
I would like to
know someKaren
thing about
WATERMAN their age and
value. Any
information you can give me
would be greatly appreciated.
A. Your silver tea set consisting
of a teapot, waste bowl and covered sugar bowl appears to be of
Dutch origin. Looking at the
marks in the photograph you
provided, it was made in 1880.
This silver set is 83.3% pure silver
(the remainder is most likely copper) and not that of the modern
standard sterling ratio of 92.5%
(adopted in Holland in 1953).
Unfortunately, I could not decipher the city of origin or maker.
The repouseé style (similar to
embossing) of this set was very
popular at this time which was
referred to as the Aesthetic Movement. The Aesthetic Movement
emphasized “art for art’s sake.”
Designs had common themes
from nature including flowers,
birds and figures depicting social
ideology. The “putti” (like cherubs
but without wings) appear to be
Remus and Romulus. On one side
of the teapot they seem to be on
good terms and on the other, it
appears Romulus has a spear in
his hand and is ready to strike
Remus. This is one of the interpretations of this famous Roman
myth.
I do not know the size and
weight of these pieces, determining the maker and rarity would
require additional research. These
factors would need to be considered in determining value. Generally, due to the lower silver content of this set, its value would be
less than one which has a higher
silver content.

POLI-TICKS
Unions botch vote on
pension settlement
A
s reports regarding errant
ballots sent on the pension settlement to affected public employees begin to
multiply, the entire situation
becomes more ridiculous by the
moment. There can be no confidence in the vote. Here’s why.
The fatal flaw is the assumption
that a “non-return” of the ballot is
a “yes” vote for the settlement.
This defies the
usual legal principal where a
class action or
quasi-class settlement is
intended to
affect a discrete
Arlene
group, all of
which requires
VIOLET
an “opt in” provision; an affirmative action to
become the recipient of a proposed benefit achieved by the
legal action. In that manner, the
legal system can account for those
who potentially want to engage in
a private action rather than partake of the group settlement.
In this case the issue is of critical importance as news leaks out
that the ballots have been sent to
somebody who is dead. This is a
new variation on the “cemetery
votes” of yesteryear that plagued
past state elections. It begs the
question: how many other
deceased individuals got ballots?
Considering the person voted
“yes” gives new meaning to the
definition of “afterlife.”
The news that everybody over
age 80 gets a ballot, even though
their status is unknown since they
don’t have to pay dues anymore,
should send shivers up the spine
of the Judge, Sarah Taft Carter,
who is overseeing this litigation.
Elderly teachers may be too ill,
suffering from dementia, etc. to
vote. Using a legal fig leaf justification that they voted “yes” disembowels the rule of consent. Theoretically, for example, those with
advanced Alzheimers do not have
the capacity to vote. They may
have a guardian whose address
may not be the same as that
retired teacher who is under
guardianship. Or they may have
moved away.
Also troubling is the fact that
only retired teachers who paid
into the legal fund for this litigation got ballots, while those who
did not pay did not. On the one
hand, that’s a reasonable position
but on the other hand, there are
multiple retirees whose rights may
be affected even though they
chose not to participate by not
ponying up funds. Personally, I
think that the exclusion of these
folks guts the settlement. Each of
them never get a ballot so the
“yes” trigger” never functions,
thereby leaving them the right to
sue anew and revisit the constitutional issue again. In fact, each
non-participant could sue ad seriatim, thereby never really settling
the constitutional issue that everybody (except me) seems to want
to dodge. Nothing breeds more
uncertainty than these folks who
are left out of the loop, since the
statute of limitations for them to
bring their own litigation is quite a
long period. Limbo in Rhode
Island will ensue for taxpayers.
The judge should be assiduous
in studying the “ballot” issue presented here. She must demand
transparency as to the whole
process, but also think about the
ramifications if she just goes along
with this ballot blast without considering exactly whose rights are
involved. Even if one person who
could sue never does so the imprimatur for a process that is a joke
undermines the court. Judge
Carter should take a hard look at
this process — as it’s a process
which denudes the justice system.

hysical activity is good for more than just
weight loss — it is good for your heart,
lungs, and overall health. An easy way to
increase your activity level without joining a gym
or needing lots of equipment is to
walk. Walking has been shown to
decrease cholesterol levels,
improve blood pressure, decrease
blood sugar, and improve mental
well being.
To improve your health you
should be physically active for at
Emily
least 30 minutes per day. You
DELCONTE could walk 10 minutes, 3 times
per day, or walk all 30 minutes at
once — whatever fits best into your lifestyle. You
get the same great health benefits either way.
Try these easy tips to increase your steps
throughout the day:
1. Early for an appointment? Pace around the
office while you’re waiting.
2. While running errands, park towards the back
of the parking lot. If you are going to multiple
stores in the same shopping center, make trips
back to your car after each store to drop off what
you purchased.
3. Get off the bus one stop early and walk the
rest of the way.
4. Use the bathroom one floor up (or down) at
work.
5. Walk around when you are on the phone.
6. Before leaving the grocery store, take an extra
lap around the perimeter of the store.
7. While watching a child’s sporting event, take a
few laps around the field or rink, or walk up and
down the sidelines.
8. March in place while brushing your teeth.
9. Set an hourly alarm and take a quick walk
around the floor at work. Also include a quick
walk as part of your lunch break.
10. Take a family walk after dinner.
Make all of your steps count!

A night with Fluke,
for the birds
Pork loin with pearl onions
is easy, but elegant
BY LYNDA REGO
[email protected]
This is a recipe from Martha
Stewart’s website that I changed a
little and have used for years. It’s
easy, everyone likes it, and I can
easily scale it down.
I buy a 3-pound pork loin roast
when they’re on sale, cut it in
thirds, vacuum seal them and pop
them in the freezer. A 1-pound
piece is perfect for three or four.
But, I still cook a pound of the
onions because they’re so good
and we love onions.
And, to save time, I use frozen
onions. I love the fresh ones, but
they take so long to peel. I also
sometimes use panko breadcrumbs instead of plain crumbs.
They have such a great crunch.
This is an easy holiday meal,
too. For the whole recipe, I would
bump up the onions to 2 pounds.
Then, make mashed potatoes and
a green vegetable while the pork
roasts.
Roasted Pork Loin
with Pearl Onions
Serves 6 to 8
Mild-tasting pearl onions are about
the size of marbles, and frozen ones
don’t require peeling.
■ 1 boneless center-cut pork loin
roast (2 pounds)
■ Coarse salt and ground pepper
■ 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard, divided
■ 1 1/2 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs (or panko)
■ 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
or rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
■ 1 pound frozen pearl onions,
thawed
■ 1 tablespoon olive oil
■ 1/2 cup white wine
Preheat oven to 450°. You just
want a thin layer of fat on the top
of the pork. If there’s too much,
trim some off. Rub pork with salt,
pepper and 2 teaspoons mustard.
On a plate, season breadcrumbs
with herbs. Coat top and sides of
roast with breadcrumbs, leaving
ends uncoated.
In a 9x13-inch roasting pan
(lined with foil if you want), toss
onions with the oil; season with
salt and pepper. Place pork in center of pan; roast 15 minutes. Turn
onions; cook 10 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup water; stir onions
to coat. Continue cooking until
onions are caramelized, pork
juices run clear, and an instantread thermometer inserted into
thickest part of meat registers 140
degrees, about 10 minutes more.
Don’t overcook the pork; you want
it nice and juicy.
Remove pork and onions from
pan; tent the pork lightly with foil
and let it rest 20 minutes before
slicing.
While meat is resting, add 1/2
cup white wine (or water) and
remaining teaspoon of mustard to
pan. Cook over medium heat,
scraping up browned bits. Stir
until sauce is fully blended, 3 to 5
minutes; serve with pork and
onions.

MEET BETH SURIANI: RESCUE DOG LOVER, GARDENER AND ITALIAN CHEF
B
BY JOAN D. WARREN
eth Suriani has been
in real estate for nine
years and has spent
her entire career with
Coleman Realtors in
Barrington. She spent the first part
of her childhood in Boca Raton,
Fla., and moved to Barrington during high school. She attended and
graduated from Barrington High
School and the University of
Rhode Island. She is the mother of
three daughters and is raising them
in Barrington. She has lots of family in Rhode Island and feels the
East Bay is a special place to live,
work and raise a family.
WHY REAL ESTATE AS A
CAREER? "I decided on real
estate as a career because I had
always been very knowledgeable
and interested in the East Bay real
estate market. My children were
getting older, so I had the time to
return to school and become a
realtor."
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST
ABOUT IT? "I like that I learn new
things and meet new people all the
time. No two real estate transactions are the same."
FUNNIEST REAL ESTATE
STORY? "When I told my grandmother (who is 99 years old now)
that I was starting a new career at
Coleman Realtors in Barrington,
her reply was, 'That's who we
bought our house from in 1946.
They must be good if they are still
around.' It is so true — I am proud
to be associated with Coleman
Realtors."
ADVICE FOR BUYERS?
"Connect with a realtor, take a
look at the homes available, be
realistic in your budget, and buy
your new home now — You will
be glad that you did!"
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR
HOBBIES? "Beach, travel and volunteering."
BEST VACATION EVER? "I
travel yearly to Siesta Key Beach
and Sanibel Island in Florida. My
Big travel plans for the future are
the Greek Islands."
BUCKET LIST ITEMS? "I
haven't made a bucket list yet."
VOLUNTEER WORK? "I have
volunteered for various Barrington
schools, PTOs, Barrington AfterProm, and this Saturday I will be
volunteering for the Heartworks
Chili Cook Off in Warren! Please
attend."

[email protected]
DOG OR CAT PERSON? "I Just
became a dog person with two rescue pups I was supposed to foster
until permanent homes could be
found for them. I decided I am a
dog person and kept them both
instead!"
WHAT'S YOUR BEST CULINARY CREATION? "Anything
Italian."
BEST PLACE FOR LUNCH IN
THE EAST BAY? "I love the Blue
Kangaroo's salads."
WHAT ARE YOU READING?
"Spring/Summer gardening catalogs. I can't wait until I can start
gardening, and after this long winter, I welcome spring."

House of the Week
Step back two centuries in Portsmouth farmhouse
H
istory and the convenience of modern living
bring two worlds
together at this stately
farmhouse in
Portsmouth. The Hathaway House
is located on the property of the former Hathaway Orchards — an
apple and peach orchard that provided apples and peaches to much
of Rhode Island until the Hurricane
of 1938 wiped out the business.
The house, built in 1824, retains
its charm, with finished wide-plank
pine floors, stained glass and moldings.
Like many homes from that era,
there are two staircases — the main
staircase in the front of the home
and a back staircase from the modern kitchen. The kitchen has granite
countertops and stainless steel
appliances and one of five fireplaces in the house. A mudroom off
the kitchen adds convenience and a
nice transition into the home from
the backdoor. Other modern
upgrades include a new heating system and updated electric.
The three-bedroom Colonial has
a first-floor guest room with a fireplace and full bath. The dining
room has a fireplace and Cyprus
wood paneled walls, a unique feature in the 2,062-square-foot home.
A large master bedroom has the
bonus of a sitting room that can be
used as an office.
The second bedroom is light
filled and has a gas fireplace. A
large walk-in closet is great for
storage, as is the attic accessed by a
staircase. An additional room on the
second floor has its own full bath
with a deep claw foot tub.
The large half-acre property has a
lovely stone wall in front, with
mature plantings and a beautiful
patio behind the home.
The home is located in the heart
of Aquidneck Island, close to
beaches, Newport, and Route 24.

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
