May 2016 GASPEE DAYS

CORRENTE FOR MAYOR Fired Up and Fed Up Richard Corrente is a Democrat for Mayor. He has strong words for Mayor Avedisian. Corrente wants to cut taxes. Avedisian? He's raised taxes every year for 16 years. Why? Corrente has attended EVERY City Council meeting. Avedisian? Not one. Why? Corrente attended every minute of the 2015 budget hearings. Avedisian? None. Why? Corrente attended almost every school committee meeting. Avedisian? None. Why? Corrente wants all city jobs posted and advertised. Avedisian? He refuses. Why? Corrente wants a full independent audit with all the results published. Avedisian? He refuses. Corrente, as Mayor, will help the school department. Avedisian? He refuses to help. Why? Corrente will stimulate construction with no permit fees for 2 years. Avedisian? He has no plan!

Corrente wants rebate checks to attract new homebuyers and businesses. Avedisian? Nothing in 10 years. Result? 5,800 taxpayers and 6,444 businesses left causing much higher taxes on the rest of us! Corrente wants free bus service for seniors. Avedisian? He charges them more than a taxi! Corrente wants the car tax cut in half for seniors and veterans. Avedisian? Full price! Corrente will renogotiate the Airport Expansion deal. Avedisian? He gave away the taxes on 100+ homes. Warwick taxpayers got increased air, soil, water and noise and pollution. That's unacceptable! Corrente wants lower electric bills for all residents through deregulation. Avedisian? Not a word. Corrente will be a full-time 7-day-a-week Mayor. Avedisian? 5 vacations 2015 alone! Avedisian has a 3-step plan: 1. Set a budget. 2. Overspend it. 3. Raise taxes. If you support his plan, vote for him. If not, vote for Richard Corrente for Mayor. Call Rick at 401-338-9900.

SPECIAL VISITOR: Local historian Henry Brown speaks with students at Wyman Elementary School.

Started 16 years ago by the Wyman Elementary School PTA, the Walking Tour of Historic Pawtuxet Village has come to serve as an opening of sorts for the annual Gaspee Days festivities. The tour takes guests throughout the Pawtuxet Village of colonial times with the help of student actors from Wyman, St. Peter Tri-Parish School, and Aldrich Junior High School. Participating students spend eight weeks in after-school programs learning the history of their neighborhoods and immersing themselves in the culture of early Pawtuxet Village. Over the past several weeks the students have listened to guest speakers, including local historian Henry Brown, describe the era. They have also taken part in historical chores such as candle dipping, all to prepare for the tour. On the day of the tour, the children assume the roles of villagers from the past – from carpenters to shipbuilders and others – sharing the “story of their lives” with guests. ■

Embracing the past, looking to the future: Gaspee Days building on proud tradition

GASPEE DAYS

By DANIEL KITTREDGE The walls of the Aspray Boat House, which serves as the headquarters for the Gaspee Days Committee, are filled with memories. There are awards and photographs, and various pieces of memorabilia from past parades and related festivities. Much of what decorates the room has been donated by members of the community, including a newspaper with a story about the now-legendary 1772 burning of the HMS Gaspee – an event that has become known as “America’s First Blow for Freedom.” “That kind of thing has been really overwhelming,” Erin Flynn, immediate past president and publicity chairperson for the committee, said of the cherished place Gaspee Days has come to hold for many in Pawtuxet and beyond. “You kind of step back and say, ‘wow.’” While Gaspee Days may be a celebration of the past, its organizers have their sights set on the future. Last year’s 50th installment of the festivities represented a major milestone, and Flynn said the planning for the 51st year has provided a chance to both reflect on past successes and look ahead. “Last year, everybody did that little extra, and the community loved it … People

role of president. He praised Flynn’s stewardship of last year’s events, and spoke of the remarkable growth of, and enthusiasm for, the festivities. “It’s educational, it’s fun. It’s a great community builder,” he said. “Last year was extraordinary because it was the 50th, and Erin did a wonderful job … We’re hoping for another great celebration.” Peshka’s ties to Gaspee Days run deep. In addition to his decades of involvement, his wife, Patricia, is a past president of the committee. He recalls the days when a colonial ball was held following each year’s parade, with guests arriving in authentic attire from the Gaspee era. He also remembers being one of only two people to ever cancel the parade, on a day when severe weather made conditions too dangerous. “We got some really nasty phone calls that day,” he said with a smile. “It’s only happened twice in 50 years. We’ve been very lucky.” As the Gaspee tradition has grown and evolved over the decades, its reach has

expanded beyond Warwick and Cranston. Recent years have seen a partnership with WaterFire in Providence, and Peshka said there have been discussions regarding possible partnerships with the iconic Bristol Fourth of July Parade and its committee. The Bristol event’s Drum and Bugle Corps Competition will be held at the Cranston Stadium for the first time this year, on June 14. “We can learn from each other,” Peshka said, pointing to the pooling of resources and sharing of knowledge as potential areas of cooperation. Both the Gaspee and Bristol events, he said, are major logistical undertakings that require much financial and volunteer support. “[Gaspee Days] has grown immensely in the 30 years that I’ve been involved … You can’t get to be as large as we both are and not work together.” Flynn said like the Bristol event, the Gaspee Days parade and its related festivities have become part of the broader cultural conversation in Rhode Island. ■

From Pawtuxet Village to Providence, Gaspee Days has range of events in store

GASPEE DAYS

By DANIEL KITTREDGE This year’s Gaspee Days will feature many of the mainstay events from the celebration’s storied past, along with some newer elements. Memorial Day weekend marks the start of the bulk of the year’s festivities. The annual Arts & Crafts Festival along Narragansett Parkway in Warwick runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 28, and Sunday, May 29, and from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday, May 30. Tina S. Bingham is serving as chairperson. Jerry Peshka, president of the Gaspee Days Committee, said the Arts & Crafts Festival has grown immensely in recent years, drawing tens of thousands of people over its three-day run. It features scores of local vendors, food, live music, and activities for children. “It has become such a community event,” he said. The Gaspee Block Party at the Aspray Boat House runs from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on May 28, with a rain date of May 29. Neil & The Vipers are slated to perform. The event is 21-plus with proof of age required, and admission will be $5. A new highlight of the Gaspee season returns on Saturday, June 4. The Warwick Symphony Orchestra – which took part in the festivities for the first time during last year’s 50th anniversary – will perform a free concert in Pawtuxet Park, 2 East View St. in Warwick, starting at 7 p.m. that evening. ■

GASPEE DAYS

For the first time last year, Gaspee Days welcomed the community to a unique evening of music and fireworks. It went so well that organizers are bringing the two-part event back for the celebration’s 51st installment – and hoping it will continue to grown in the years to come. “What a response we got … It even surprised us,” said Erin Flynn, past president and publicity chairperson for the Gaspee Days Committee, of the Warwick Symphony Orchestra performance and Gaspee Days Fireworks Extravaganza. “We got a great turnout last year,” committee president Jerry Peshka said, estimating that between 700 and 1,000 people took in the sights and sounds at the 2015 event. The orchestra’s free concert starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 4, in Pawtuxet Park in Warwick. The music begins with a “Junkfood Buffet” of favorites from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. The free fireworks show – which has been moved from its traditional time on

The orchestra, a non-profit organization, is made up of more than 60 volunteer musicians and performs in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.

The shot seen ‘round Pawtuxet: Carved cannon becomes unique tribute to veterans

GASPEE DAYS

By JOHN HOWELL Don Waterman knows how to save a buck and create a Pawtuxet landmark. The retired Providence firefighter is the creator of the cannon, carved from the stump of a giant poplar tree that he had to cut down after a huge limb crashed on the house built in 1740 at the corner of Post Road and Atlantic. The branch came down in the macroburst of last August that left sections of Warwick and Cranston looking like a war zone. There had been giant trees on both sides of the house, which Don estimates were at least 150 years old. The first tree was so badly rotted that he had no choice but to take it down. Since the lower section of the tree was reasonably sound, his plan was to leave 10 feet of the trunk standing and create a small gazebo. That was going to save him the expense of grinding down the stump. The contractor, however, didn’t follow his directions, cut-

ting the tree to within several feel of the ground. Don was not happy. When the other tree had to come down, he got a second chance at being creative. This tree also had a lot of rot, but Don came up with a plan. He was going to make a cannon. He got out his chainsaw and went to work. He was in for a few surprises. The tree had grown around rocks, which pretty much destroyed $150 worth of blades and brought his work to a halt on more than one occasion. He estimates he invested 68 hours into the project. The caisson is cut entirely from the trunk. The cannon that is bolted atop is from a limb, and the cannon ball is for real. Never having attempted something like this before, Don is learning what it is like to work with uncured wood and the trials of checks as it shrinks and expands. ■

“People can travel back in time and see what the village may have looked like back then as they walk through town,” said Toni Andersen, co-chair of the event. “Students love the program and come back year after year. It a fun way to keep local history alive.” Andersen noted that for many students, the program is an eye-opener, showing them how different children’s lives were in the colonial era. It also enlightens students to the area’s rich history, as many of them were unaware the burning of the Gaspee predated the Boston Tea Party. “It all happened right here in our backyard. Our history is something we should celebrate because it is uniquely ours,” Andersen said. This year, 56 students are participating in the tour. On average, the tour has about 300 guests. The Walking Tour of Historic Pawtuxet Village will be on Saturday, May 21, with a rain date of the following day, Sunday, May 22. At noon, the Pawtuxet Rangers will march, and then Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian will speak. Tours will start running at about 12:15 p.m. and leave every 15 minutes. Tours will run until 3 p.m. The tour itself runs about 45 minutes to an hour. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children, and can be purchased at the Gazebo in Pawtuxet Village Park, where the tours will begin.

scores more provide assistance for some aspect of the festivities, from setting up on the day of the 5K and parade to providing visitors with directions. “It’s important to have those people,” Peshka said. “Having people in the committee shirts to help with directions or to get somewhere is big. This is a very, very big event.” Peshka said the committee has seen a growing interest among younger members of the community, which has helped expand the use of technology and social media in planning and promoting each year’s event. Those younger participants, he said, are drawn to the Gaspee tradition and the

social aspects of involvement. Flynn said continuing to foster community involvement, particularly among younger generations, is vital moving forward. “People have to step up,” he said. “That’s how we keep it great.” The Aspray Boat House, which the committee began using in the early 1990s, has become a vital part of the group’s efforts. Peshka said it has “really tied us to the community,” and there is high demand for its use for baby showers, small weddings, and other such gatherings. “We never thought this would be booked as much as it is,” he said. The Gaspee Day Committee’s outreach is also seen through events like the historic walking tours provided by local students, and the essay contest the group sponsors each year. Peshka said spreading the story of the Gaspee, and that long-ago event’s pivotal role in the history of the nation, helps deepen and renew the tradition. “This is an important historical event that has been overlooked,” he said. Flynn, reflecting on the last half-century of Gaspee Days, spoke of those who initially banded together to commemorate that “First Blow for Freedom.” “Without their enthusiasm and vision … we wouldn’t be here,” she said.

Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. Gina Cleri has taken on the role of parade chairperson, succeeding Dr. John and Patrice Concannon. “She’s doing a great job,” Peshka said. “The parade is what it’s all about.” Erin Flynn, past president and publicity chairperson for the committee, said the authentic, colonial nature of the parade makes it unique, and represents a major part of its enduring appeal. “People really respond to that,” she said. The festivities for the next day, June 12, will start with the 11 a.m. “Blessing of the

Fleet” by the Rhode Island Yacht Club, located at 1 Ocean Ave. in Cranston. “Sunday in the Park” runs from 12:30 pm. to 4 p.m. in Pawtuxet Park. The winners of the Gaspee Days raffle will be announced during the event, which will include live music, food, and family activities. Terri Givens serves as the event’s chairperson. The local celebration draws to a close with the ceremonial burning of the HMS Gaspee at 4 p.m. in Pawtuxet Cove. On Saturday, June 18, WaterFire in Providence will present its Gaspee Project. The event includes a re-enactment of a 1772 debate a Sabin’s Tavern, walking tours led by the Rhode Island Historical Society, and open houses at the John Brown House Museum and Stephen Hopkins House. Throughout the day, the Gaspee Project will also provide a unique social media recreation of the day the ship was raided and burned. Key figures such as Lt. William Dudingston, James Sabin, and others will come to life on Twitter, and the story can be followed using #wfgaspee. For more information on the Gaspee Project, visit gaspee.waterfire.org.

(Continued from page 6) “We really have gone statewide … It’s a statewide discussion now about Gaspee Days,” she said. The growth of Gaspee Days goes handin-hand with that of Pawtuxet Village, and is linked to the pride those with local roots take in the annual celebration. “We have people who live out of state that will come back for the events,” Peshka said. Flynn said Gaspee Days becomes a reunion of sorts for many Pawtuxet-area natives – a homecoming not unlike the night before Thanksgiving. “People who leave this area still identify with this area,” she said. A range of businesses and organizations support or take part in the festivities, including the Pawtuxet Rangers, Pawtuxet Village Association, Shriners, Friends of Pawtuxet Village, Pawtuxet Village Merchants Association, Warwick Historical Society, and Rhode Island Yacht Club. Flynn thanked all of the event’s “community partners,” who she said consistently offered positive feedback regarding their involvement in Gaspee Days. “For our local neighborhood businesses to come in and help us out … we’re very

thankful for that,” she said. “We try to have a sense of community and neighborhood. The community has realized the importance of bringing everybody to the village.” Peshka noted that Pawtuxet Village has grown into a “food destination,” and Gaspee Days provides a chance for local eateries and other businesses to support the local scene and spread the word about what the area has to offer. “They are a big entity that’s a part of us … They really bring a lot to the table for us,” he said. The work of volunteers is also vital to the success of Gaspee Days. The committee is comprised of several dozen members, and

The fireworks show is also free. The rain date for both the concert and fireworks is Sunday, June 5. Carol Demming is overseeing the day’s events. On Saturday, June 11, and Sunday, June 12, the Pawtuxet Rangers will bring back their Colonial Encampment in Pawtuxet Village, offering visitors an authentic look at military life during the Gaspee era. The encampment is free and open to the public, with a range of activities for people of all ages. The pinnacle of the celebration arrives June 11. The Gaspee Days Ecumenical Service will be held at 8 a.m. that morning at Trinity Episcopal Church, 139 Ocean Ave. in Cranston. The West Bay Chorus will provide music for the non-denominational service. At 9:30 a.m. that day, the 51st annual Allan & Edna Brown 5K Road Race kicks off. The course for the race – which is co-

chaired by Roger Farren Jr. and Matthew Tsimikas – begins on Broad Street in Cranston and heads south onto Narragansett Parkway in Warwick before turning northbound. The finish line will be just past the parade review stand near Rhodes on the Pawtuxet.

He’s reinforced the wheels with metal rims and has coated the wood with water repellants. He has also cut drains and drilled holes in the trunk to keep it dry and drain off sap that is still coming to the surface. The project has been the buzz of Facebook and among villagers who now recognize it as a Pawtuxet landmark. Looking for Atlantic Street? Well, turn at the cannon. But it’s more than just a village reference point. The cannon is also a memorial to all veterans past and present. It is dedicated to Don’s father, Clinton F. Waterman, who served aboard the submarine USS Seahorse in the Pacific during World War II. The boat became the subject of the book “Maru Killer,” so named for the numbers of Japanese cargo ships it sank. Clinton Waterman served as an electrician and was found in the battery room after electricity shot through his body and left a hole in the back of his head. He survived. After the war he returned to Rhode Island and worked at Electric Boat. He died in 1969 at the age of 44 from a heart attack when Don was just a boy. Now his memory lives on through what is truly one of the most unique veteran’s memorials around. As for the other stump, Don is thinking of turning that into a bench with an eagle carved as its backrest. And maybe, he suggests, he’ll carve the prow of the Gaspee sticking upward before it sinks to its watery grave. Now that would be worthy of cannon fire.

FOR THOSE WHO SERVED: A plaque affixed to the cannon honors those who have served the nation in uniform. (Beacon Communications photo)
