CSP United caps off winning season Nobody knew what to expect when a group of six, seven and eight-year-old girls were assembled last July in what was the first Cumberland Select Program’s (CSP) U9 Girls Team. Some of the players had not met each other and others never played together. So, what was to be expected of such a group? It turned out to be success, and a camaraderie that would spill beyond the soccer fields statewide. Head Coach Dan Guerra said his goal was fielding a team that worked hard, listened to him and Assistant Coaches Kelly Dion and Dave Rodriguez, and applied the drills they

practiced in games. After a tuneup tournament at the University of Rhode Island, they played several tough teams during the fall 2013 season. They travelled to New Hampshire and held their own against stiff competition, improving their game during that stretch. While they did not have many victories on the scoreboard, Guerra sensed something good was happening. “I told the girls not to worry about wins and losses; just worry about getting better every week,” said Guerra. “Once they felt comfortable with what we were teaching them

Author Chris Bohjalian talk and book signing A heartbreaking, wildly inventive, and moving novel narrated by a teenage runaway, from the bestselling author of Midwives and The Sandcastle Girls. “If you need any proof that fiction can scare us, move us, and break our hearts simultaneously look no further” Jodi Picoult Warwick, RI: Barnes & Noble Warwick is pleased to host New York Times Bestselling author Chris Bohjalian for a talk and book signing for his new book Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands on Friday, July 11th at 7pm. Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands is a story of loss, adventure, and the search for friendship in the wake of catastrophe, Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands is one of Chris Bohjalian’s finest novels to date-breathtaking, wise, and utterly transporting. Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands is the story of Emily Shepard, a homeless teen living in an igloo made of ice and trash bags filled with frozen leaves. Half a year earlier, a nuclear plant in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom had experienced a cataclysmic meltdown, and both of Emily's parents were killed. Devastatingly, her father was in charge of the plant, and the meltdown may have been his fault. Was he drunk when it happened? Thousands of people are forced to flee their homes in the Kingdom; rivers and forests are destroyed; and Emily feels certain that as the daughter of the most hated man in America, she is in danger. So instead of following the social workers and her classmates after the meltdown, Emily takes off on her own for Burlington, where she survives by stealing, sleeping on the floor of a drug dealer's apartment, and inventing a new identity for herself - an identity inspired by her favorite poet, Emily Dickinson. When Emily befriends a young homeless boy named Cameron, she protects him with a ferocity she didn't know she had. But she still can't outrun her past, can't escape her grief, can't hide foreverand so she comes up with the only plan that she can. Chris Bohjalian won the New England Society Book Award (for The Night Strangers) in 2012, as well as the New England Book Award in 2002 and the Anahid Literary Award in 2000. His novel, Midwives, was a number one New York Times bestseller, a selection of Oprah's Book Club, a Publishers Weekly "Best Book," and a New England Booksellers Association Discovery pick. His work has been translated into over 25 languages and three became movies ("Secrets of Eden," "Midwives," and "Past the Bleachers"). Secrets of Eden, his 2010 novel, premiered as a Lifetime Television movie on February 4, 2012. It starred John

Author Andrew D. Boisvert book signing Barnes & Noble Warwick is pleased to host author Andrew D. Boisvert for a book signing for his book Legendary Locals of Coventry on Saturday, June 28th from 1pm-3pm at 1350 Bald Hill Road, Warwick. Coventry was originally part of the Shawomet Purchase deeded to Samuel Gorton. People like Francis Brayton and Joseph Bucklin petitioned the Rhode Island General Assembly to form the new town. During the Industrial Revolution, John Jenckes Kilton and Searles Capwell played roles in the development of mills and businesses. Today, Coventry boasts many second-generation businesses including Crystal Cleansers, owned by William Marcotte, and Maguire Lace & Warping, run by James Maguire alongside his father, Joseph Maguire. Coventry is home to several independently operated businesses as well, such as All Booked Up, owned by Deana Borges, and Summit General Store, owned by the Skaling family. Educators such as Peter Stetson and Julie Lima Boyle followed in the footsteps of Carrie Ina Shippee and Mary Harvey. Many of Coventry’s men and women have answered the call to serve their country, including George Potter and Mary Agnes Delehantey. Not many towns can claim as their own a swimmer of the English Channel, a girl who was an ambassador to Alaska, and a recipient of a Field & Stream award. Author Andrew D. Boisvert tells these and other stories of Coventry’s unsung heroes in order for the children and grandchildren of Coventry families to understand and take pride in the lives of their ancestors and Rhode Island history.

AG Kilmartin commends Supreme Court decision on greenhouse gas pollution Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin today commended the United States Supreme Court for ruling in favor of much the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 2011 regulations curbing greenhouse gases from large polluters. The ruling was issued Monday. Seven Justices coalesced in upholding the rules, but could not completely agree on the reasoning. The regulations were part of the first batch of regulations that implement the EPA's authority to regulate carbon-based climatechange pollution. The regulations govern new plants and upgrades. The State of Rhode Island, represented by Kilmartin's office, is an intervenor in support of EPA in the case, which is called Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA. "This marks the second major Supreme Court victory for Rhode Island and like-minded states in the last several months" said Attorney General Kilmartin. "Earlier this year, the Court upheld restrictions on cross-border pollution that drifts here with the westerly winds. We were active in that suit too." Kilmartin was
referring to the April 29 Supreme Court ruling in EME Homer City Production v. EPA upholding limits on interstate pollution. The issue in front of the Supreme Court on Monday was whether EPA could regulate greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from big power plants, refineries, and industrial boilers that make plant modifications or expansions. (Existing plants that operate without change were not at issue and are dealt with under the separate set of regulations proposed earlier this month.) The Court held that the EPA had this authority but, in a minor setback for EPA, disagreed with EPA's method of targeting the largest polluters. In practical terms, however, the Court's method has almost the same reach. In January, Attorney General Kilmartin joined 14 other states on a Supreme Court brief in the case. An equal number of states, however, mostly from the South, took the side of the fossil fuel industry in seeking to overturn the regulations. In February, the Supreme Court heard arguments.
The rules upheld on Monday stem from the landmark decision in the 2007 case, Massachusetts v. EPA, in which the Supreme Court ruled that in the Clean Air Act, Congress gave EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gases. After Massachusetts v. EPA, the EPA took several significant actions including regulations to limit emissions from cars and regulations to do the same with respect to new or newly-modified major plants. In June 2012, a lower court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, upheld both the car regulations and the power plant regulations. The Supreme Court did not even consider the car regulations, letting that portion of the lower court decision stand. The Supreme Court only reviewed the plant and refinery portion, which have now been upheld. Attorney General Kilmartin has been a leader in fighting greenhouse gases. For example, recently he offered funds recovered in an anti-pollution suit to help the Town of Portsmouth rebuild its wind turbine.
Ribbon-cutting ceremony honors RI’s Veterans Governor Lincoln D. Chafee and Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis were joined Friday, June 20, 2014, at the Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery by Director, Sandra M. Powell, Department of Human Services and the Division of Veterans Affairs, as well as veterans' services organizations for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Columbarium No. 3. "This celebration marks the continuation of our efforts to serve our veterans and their families," Governor Chafee said. "The fine men and women in the military have sacrificed so much for our state. Rhode Island must be a state
that honors and respects them by doing all we can both during and after their service." The new columbarium, which is a cemetery building with vaults that house cremation urns, contains 2,160 niches. It is the third at the Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery. The construction project, which began in [August] 2013, was funded by a $658,000 federal grant awarded by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs. "It brings me pride to be a part of this meaningful testament to Rhode Island's commitment to our fallen heroes," Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis said. "I feel it is our responsibility to take care of the
men and women who fought for our freedom, and the new columbarium is a beautiful final resting place for our veterans and their spouses." "The Department of Human Services continues to be deeply dedicated to honoring our fallen heroes and their loved ones," said Director Powell. "The department was pleased to receive a federal grant from the VA to continue the tradition of remembering our veterans in a cemetery befitting of their service and sacrifice." "The newest columbarium is just another example of this state's commitment to honoring the legacy of our fallen heroes, veterans, and their
families through dignified military burial and inurnment services," said the division's Associate Director, Kim A. Ripoli. "It is fitting that in the 150th year of Arlington Cemetery, the Rhode Island Division of Veterans Affairs focuses on the future capacity to serve those who so nobly served us." The Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery is located at 301 South County Trail, Exeter. The cemetery is open to the public to visit the cemetery grounds with its meditation garden, granite benches, and the 31 monuments dedicated to the veterans of specific wars and conflicts.
Military assault continued from A1
"Sexual assault in the military is a complex and important national issue and we owe it to our service members to learn as much as we can. We want to raise awareness about the difficulties in reporting but also the resources that need to be put in place to help," said Family Service of Rhode Island's Susan Erstling, PhD, a founder of the annual academy six years ago. "In a state with such a significant military presence it's critical for nonmilitary victim services professionals to understand the culture and stresses of military service when they are responding to sexual assault. We are pleased to welcome Allison Agnello, who not only has been a trainer at the academy, but a student as well." United States Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has called combating sexual assault in the military "as high a priority as there is.") SAPR, based at Naval Station Newport, helps all military personnel, their dependents 18 years old and older, as well as civilians sexually assaulted on Department of Defense property. The Department of Defense estimates there are over 26,000 cases per year, said Ms. Agnello, noting that the number is a 2012 estimate and will be updated in the near future. "The Department of Defense defines sexual assault as intentional sexual content involving force, physical threat or abuse of authority when the victim does not or cannot consent," she said. "Sexual assault includes rape, nonconsensual sodomy, indecent assault or attempts to commit these acts." She said that her goal during the academy is to help victim service providers recognize the issues unique to people involved with the military, currently or in the past. "Due to the significant population of service members and veterans throughout Rhode Island, these providers may come into contact with them in their work." Family Service of Rhode Island is a statewide non-profit social service and educational organization. More information is available at www.familyserviceri.org<http:// www.familyserviceri.org>.

The Index finds Kyrgyzstan, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic as nations least resilient to supply chain disruption. “Natural disasters, political unrest and a lack of global uniformity in safety codes and standards all can have an impact on business continuity, competitiveness and reputation,” said Jonathan Hall, executive vice president, FM Global. “As supply chains become more global, complex and interdependent, it is essential for decision makers to have concrete facts and intelligence about where their facilities and their suppliers’ facilities are located. The Re-
silience Index is a dynamic resource to better understand unknown risk in order to strategically prioritize supply chain risk management and investment efforts.” 2014 key findings: • The United States and China are each divided into three separate regions because the geographic spread of these countries produces significantly disparate exposures to natural hazards. All three regions of the U.S. rank in the top 25 and China’s regions rank 61, 66 and 75. China’s weakest grouping, which includes Shanghai, ranks particularly low as a result of poor risk quality due to acute natural hazards. • The biggest riser since 2013 is Bosnia and Herzegovina, climbing 19 places due to improvements in the country’s political risk and in the quality of local suppliers. • Bangladesh is one of the top fallers due to declining quality of both natural hazard risk management and fire risk management. FM Global commissioned analytics and advisory firm Oxford Metrica to develop the rankings with the aim of bolstering intelligent dialogue around building resilience
and avoiding supply chain disruption. The data comes from a combination of independent third-party sources and FM Global’s RiskMark benchmarking algorithm, which measures the risk quality of more than 100,000 insured commercial properties worldwide. The inaugural index allows for browsing of countries’ rankings and scores from 2011 to 2014, to reflect both improvements and declines in individual countries’ relative rankings. “We live in a volatile world and whether that’s because of what nature wrought or the human element, every nation is prone to some form of risk,” said Margareta Wahlström, United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Disaster Risk Reduction. “The question is why are some countries, whether developing nations or economic power houses, more resistant to supply chain disruption or better able to bounce back? It’s a puzzle that world leaders are perpetually trying to solve and there’s endless value inherent in a tool like the FM Global Resilience Index to help answer that.”

Could you afford to live to 100? Here’s an interesting statistic: Over the past three decades, the centenarian population in the United States has grown about 66%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a good chance of living to 100 — but the possibility may not be as remote as it once was. In any case, if you do plan to retire in your mid-60s, and you are in good health, you may well have two, or even three, decades ahead of you. To enjoy this time to the fullest — and to help prevent the possibility of outliving your financial resources — you will need to invest for income and growth throughout your retirement years. As a retiree, how much income do you need from your investments? There’s no one “right” percentage for everyone. Furthermore, you shouldn’t have to rely solely on your investment portfolio, because you may have other sources —
such as Social Security and potentially your employer-sponsored retirement plan — from which to draw income. Nonetheless, your investments can play a big role in providing you with the income you’ll need during retirement. Many retirees depend on fixed-rate investments for a good portion of their retirement income — so it’s a real challenge when interest rates are low, as they have been for the past several years. Consequently, when you retire, you’ll certainly need to be aware of the interest-rate environment and the income you can expect from these investments. Longer-term fixed-rate vehicles may be tempting, as they typically offer higher rates than shorter-term ones, but these longer-term investments may have more price fluctuation and inflation risk than shorter-term investments. Ultimately, you’ll likely need a balance between short-, intermediate- and

long-term fixed-income investments to provide for a portion of your income in retirement. While it’s important to invest for income, you can’t ignore the need for growth — because you won’t want to lose purchasing power to inflation. As you know, we’ve experienced quite mild inflation recently. But over time, even a low rate of inflation can seriously erode your purchasing power. To illustrate: If your current monthly costs are $3,000, they will be about $4,000 in 10 years with only a 3% annual inflation rate. And in 25 years at that same rate, your monthly costs will have more than doubled, to about $6,200. To help protect yourself against inflation risk, you should consider having at least some investments that offer growth potential, rather than only owning fixed-income vehicles. And some investment vehicles, such as dividend-paying stocks,
can offer both growth potential and current income. In fact, some stocks have paid, and even increased, their dividends for many years in a row, giving you not just income, but rising income. (Keep in mind, though, that companies are not obligated to pay dividends, and can reduce or discontinue them at any time. To determine the right mix of growth and income vehicles for your individual needs, consult with a financial advisor who is familiar with your retirement plans, your risk tolerance and your family situation. And it may well be a good idea to plan for a very long retirement. You may not live to be 100 — but it would be a good feeling to know that you could afford to do so.k.

Expanded from its original construction as a one-room stone-ender cottage, the delicately restored 12-room historic farmhouse features beautiful cabinet work, varied architectural designs, original stencils, and furnished rooms showcasing an intriguing collection of antiques.

in practice, and they could use it in game situations, then the rest would work itself out.” CSP United went indoors for the indoor season and played in a Thanksgiving tournament at Wide World of Indoor Sports in Smithfield. All of their hard work and lessons learned paid off as they won the holiday title with an overtime win over Smithfield in the final. Then, after winning the regular season crown in the U10C regular season, CSP United bolted to their second crown with a 6-1 victory over Smithfield. The title meant moving up to the U10B league where they placed second in the regular season and were the runners-up in the tournament final where they fell to a strong West Warwick squad. Along the way, they displayed a deft passing attack and stellar defense only allowing a handful of goals during this portion of the season. “We could see the improvement from the first practice to that point,” said Guerra, who also serves as the Cumberland Youth Soccer Association’s Vice President of Competitive. “The passing got much better and the communication between the players significantly improved since they got to know each other.” In the spring, CSP United faced some good teams that included Burriville-Gloucester, Tiverton, East Greenwich and Smithfield. They compiled a winning record and rallied to draw in a couple of matches. They found their stride as the spring session moved along. What is the one thing Guerra said the players should remember from this experience? “These players were part of the first U9 Girls Team in CSP history,” he said. “No matter what happens after the season, this status is an accolade that nobody can ever take away from them, and it is something that they will remember for the rest of their lives.” The inaugural CSP United U9G team consisted of: Kaitlyn Berger, Mary “Spider” Daley, Halle Delmore, Madelyn Dion, Rachael Grieve, Alexandra Guerra, Brianna Landry, Elizabeth Luca, Mya Miller, Rachael Grieve, Sienna Morris, Maggie Ray, Rachel Rodriguez, and Stasia Todd.

How to grill the
perfect burger
Could any food be as simplistic and delicious at the same time as a patty of beef on top of a crusty bun, served with lettuce, tomato and your choice of condiments? Burgers are the go-to item for barbecues, campouts, fast-food meals, and late night trips to the diner. A juicy burger can satisfy so many cravings in one sitting. If ever there was a recipe to master, it would be grilling the perfect burger. Though barbecued burgers may seem easy to make, all too often burgers are botched by a few mistakes. But don't worry, burger mastery is within reach if you follow these simple tips. * Begin with fresh meat. Freshly ground meat will produce the best flavor. If you are unsure when the packaged ground beef was made, ask the butcher or someone in the meat department of the supermarket to grind you up a fresh batch. Otherwise, use a food processor or an attachment on a stand mixer to grind the meat yourself.
* Fat has flavor. If you're going to indulge in a burger, make sure it has a fair amount of fat content. Fat helps keep the burgers moist and juicy. Make sure the fat content is about 18 to 20 percent of the mix. This helps to guarantee flavorful burgers. * Keep the meat cold. Chilled burger patties will firm up and hold their shape better during cooking. Leave the pre-made patties in the refrigerator until the last minute. Keep patties on ice if you will be cooking burgers in batches. * Don't overhandle the meat. Compressing the meat and handling it too much can lead to dry, dense burgers. Avoid tough meat by handling it as little as possible. Keep your hands wet while shaping the patties so they'll come together easily. * Oil up the grill. A clean, well-oiled grill prevents burgers from sticking during cooking. * Make sure the grill is super-hot. The goal is to cook burgers over high heat and fast. This is achieved with a very hot grill. It may only take three to five
minutes per side to cook the burgers, depending on the thickness of the patty. * Flip only once. Wait until the burgers have been grilling for a few minutes and release easily from the grill grate. Flip them over and allow them to cook a few minutes more. This helps keep the juices inside the meat and prevents your burgers from turning into burnt hockey pucks. * Resist the urge to squash the burgers. Pushing down on the burgers with the spatula will only force the juices out. If you want dry burgers, press them down. If you want nice, juicy burgers, step away from the spatula. * Allow the burgers to rest. Take the burgers off the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes so that all of their juice redistributes through the patty. Toast your hamburger buns and then serve the burgers with your favorite toppings. Dig in and enjoy your efforts, as well as the compliments from other diners.

By Mort White Visit The Magic Garden at www.themagicgarden.com Call 855-660-4261 or questions@themagicgarden.com with your lawn & garden questions every Saturday from 8:06am to 10:00am ET Such a night as this when the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees and they did make no noise. Shakespeare My lawn service company has told me that my lawn is necrotic. It will cost me another $120.00 to apply a spray on an area 20 feet by 20 feet. Is there something else that I can buy to correct this? Doris, Spokane, WA Your lawn service company has told you that the lawn is dead. Since you have handed over control to your company, I would make them correct the situation. Spraying excess fertilizer on your lawn can over stimulate growth and lead to susceptibility to fungus, mold and other diseases. Lawn companies are hired to avoid these problems. Your alternative is to go to an organic fertilizer once a year and check your PH periodically. It should be close to 7. Either you or your new company should aerate and thatch regularly. My mom used to be in love with the Trumpet-Hummingbird Vine. It had a fern like leaf and a pink trumpet flower. Is there such a plant and where can I find it? Michele, Livingston, MT Sometimes Dutchmen’s Pipe is referred to as Trumpet Vine but it does not have the fern leave and is dark red. Neither Campsis radicans nor C.chinensis, which are called Trumpet Creepers, have the fern like leaf but they are red also. There is an Ipomoea hirsutula with a blue purple or white trumpet and fern like leaves. It should be planted as an annual. You may find it in a seed catalogue as a Morning Glory variety. You might soak the seeds in warm water for eight hours before planting. My cat keeps eating my spider plant. What can I do to prevent this? Josh, Lincoln, NE You do not want catnip. You can erect a screen like a tomato basket as a mechanical remedy. You could train the cat by using an oil spray like canola or olive oil. Because the plant does remove pollutants from the air, you may not want to do this for a long time. Hot pepper spray works well but will coat the leaves like canola or olive oil. Dried hot pepper added to the soil may be enough to keep the cat at bay. Oat grass in pots may be enough of a distraction and change its apetite. Should I dig up and store my tulip bulbs? Mary,

Cutting them regularly at five feet will make ery fall with some sand at the bottom of the six inch them grow wider. Cutting one end on the side could hole. Do not place any fertilizer in the hole. Granular work as well. Ilex glabra has a pea size black berry, which some consider insignificant. This holly pre5-10--1-0 on the soil on top will suffice.
