Washington – the Legacy of Leadership

The statue of George Washington served as backdrop, as members of the Rhode Island Sons of the Revolution honored the 279th anniversary of the first president’s birth with a ceremony on the south lawn of the Redwood Library and Athenaeum on Tuesday, Feb. 22. With the Newport Artillery Company bearing colors and providing a musket salute, Washington was held up as an ultimate example of patriotism and leadership. In the interest of that day, and the man in whose shadow every president seems destined to reside, might we suggest taking a moment to re-associate yourself with Washington’s Farewell Address on www.Newport-now.com (Photo by Rob Thorn)

RIPTA Chronicles: #14 Express Rides On

Proponents see potential

By Aaron Phaneuf In 2006, the Rhode Island General Assembly commissioned a survey of non-riders–citizens who, at the time, were not using public transportation. Nearly 500 Rhode Island residents answered questions providing interesting, if not disheartening, results. Fully 45% of those who responded said that under no circumstances would they consider riding a bus, even if it picked them up at home and drove them directly to their office. I nearly fell off my chair when I first read that. Rhode Island Public Transportation Authority (RIPTA) was basically offering a private car service, and folks were declining the invitation. That is how wed to our vehicles we have become. Under virtually no circumstances do we wish to give up the freedom that comes from driving our own cars.

A few years ago, that was me. I was driving my car to Providence each weekday. I’m not exactly sure what jarred me from my routine, but one day I decided to take the bus. The local #60 leaves from the Gateway Center in downtown Newport nearly every hour throughout the day and night. It does much the same in reverse from Kennedy Plaza in Providence. The route slips north from Newport, lurching through traffic along East or West Main roads, cruises over the Mount Hope Bridge, winds through Bristol, Warren, and Barrington before terminating service in downtown Providence. The trip takes about an hour and half; sometimes longer, depending on how often it stops to pick-up and drop-off. The ridership tends to be blue collar, mostly local residents, those who either don’t have access to a car, or prefer to have someone else drive. There are characters aplenty; very personal conversations (periodically to oneself ) at louder than public decibel levels. At times the behavior can be disruptive. It is the sort of bus many people often think of when they imagine public transportation. I never felt unsafe, but was always sure to stay alert.

A bit of digging on the RIPTA Web site lead me to the #14 Express. I am not naturally an

(Photo by Rob Thorn) early riser, but the 7:10 a.m. departure from the Gateway Center seemed manageable. Another #14 Express then left Providence at 5:10 p.m. for the return trip home. I gave it a shot. Immediately, I noticed a big difference. Everyone on the bus seemed to be a lawyer, broker, financial planner, journalist, or professor. The tone was a bit academic. Everyone seemed to carry a newspaper. Quiet conversations about books, movies or town news dominated the recycled air. I noticed three main groupings of riders: Folks riding in the front of the bus were a mix of quiet, listen-to-my-iPod-read-the-newspaper sorts, and social butterflies; in the middle sat the introspective types, gazing out the large, dirty windows at the world outside; the back of the bus was home to the gregarious extroverts, excited to connect with one another, swap stories of the weekend, or debate hot button political issues.

I floated between all three groups depending on my mood. Most days found me in the middle, starring outside the window as Matisyahu, an American Hasidic Jewish reggae musician, encouraged me to be a light in this harsh world. I used the time to read, rest, or think through the day’s to-dos. The two hours of free time was a boost to my productivity, emotional

City planners opened the doors to the lower level of the Thames Street Armory building on Friday, providing a rare glimpse into the space being eyed for development into a transient boater facility.

Organized by Mayor Stephen C. Waluk, the walk-through was the first time that many in attendance were given the chance to see – firsthand – a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility. What they found was a space very much in the raw.

Until recently, the space had been filled with old doors, furniture, and knickknacks left there by a former tenant. Thick, painted brick walls and columns are marked with graffiti in places, a faint coating of salt from high water marks in others. On the north side of the building, a shooting gallery once used by the militia that occupied the property is still intact, though for the last several decades its only use has been as an unusually linear storage locker.

health and overall outlook.

I mentioned before that the local #60 took an hour and half to find Providence. The #14 Express follows a much different route and takes far less time. It leaves Newport, quickly merges onto the Claiborne Pell (Newport) Bridge, shakes hands with Jamestown, then makes its one and only stop just over the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge alongside Route 1A at the Park n’ Ride. A faithful few, including a rider named Diane, collect the bus at this stop, many of them residing in South County. For years, Diane drove her own car to a job as a legal assistant in Providence. Raising a young family, Diane felt the added freedom of a personal vehicle was the correct choice. Once the kids graduated from high school, finding colleges and careers, she considered the bus. “For years, I parked in a dusty field that occupied the ground where the Providence Place Mall now stands,” she said.

Continuing, “it was particularly awful after a strong rainstorm.” Diane has been riding the #14 Express for four years. She mainly uses the time to read. Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson and David Baldacci are a few of her favorite authors.

After scooping up Diane and her cohorts at

Standing toward the rear of the space, a thick, overhead beam above his head, Waluk acknowledged that the building is in tough shape. But there’s an opportunity here, he says.

Transforming this dark, floodprone, and otherwise wasted space into a transient boater facility would not only signal that the city is committed to being a world-class port, but also could help sustain the capital improvements needed to preserve the historic masonry building.

“This is a golden opportunity,” Waluk said.

It was a similar sentiment to one the mayor expressed back in 2008 when the city was awarded a federal grant to take on the project.

And if things play out as expected, residents and boaters can expect to see the facility up and running as early as the July 4th weekend.

Once complete, it will be the first component of a grander vision for the aging property, dubbed Armory Wharf. The project is comprised of three components: the downstairs transient boaters’ facility; a proposed 293-foot extension of the Ann Street Pier; and the redevelopment of the main and second floors of the building. Each are in various stages of development, with the transient boater facility the closest to fruition.

Aside from its current use as an antiques center, the property also serves an array of public services; namely, providing the only pub-

AROUND TOWN

RIPTA CONTINUED FROM PG. 1

Snow Sailing to the ‘Worlds’

Sixteen-year old Annie Tuthill of Jamestown will soon be heading to Finland, by way of Iceland and Norway, to compete in the 2011 WISSA Ice and Snow Sailing World Championships in Oravi, Finland.

The World Ice and Snow Sailing Association [WISSA] was formed in 1987 as a governing body for racing on snow and ice. The WISSA ISSWC is the oldest, continuously run, international race in the history of both windsurfing and kitesailing.

Ironic, given that both sports are best known for their soft water iterations.

Unlike iceboat races, that can involve miles of travel in search of clear ice, WISSA races take place at a predetermined site, regardless of surface conditions. It is incumbent upon the sailor to be prepared for the prevailing sailing surface.

Conditions at Oravi will be tricky.

Temperatures this past week have been between 20 and 40 degrees below zero which makes for dry fast snow, but the winds are generally light. Proper ski waxing techniques are critical for the snow course racing part.

WISSA racing has 3 classes: 1) Open Class: Any sled where the rider is standing. This is how WISSA got started, and it relates to windsurfing rigs sailing on ice and snow.

2) Wing Class: Any hand-held foil.

Design parameters are open.

3) Kite Class: All tethered foil designs- similar to the kites that can be seen sailing off Second Beach.

The cold temperatures and light winds will work well for the kites and, to a lesser extent the windsurf-

The close proximity to the Russian border will make for a lively interchange in the Kite Class as the reigning World Champion, Simon Gill from Montreal, will go up against the world’s best snowkiters from Russia, and the rest of Europe.

The rest of the North American contingent will be in the Wing Class.

Klaus Faisst of Toronto, will join An-

the Saunderstown Park n’ Ride, the #14 Express slingshots onto Route 4, then grabs interstate 95. Downtown Providence arrives in less than an hour. Unless traffic or weather jump ugly, the trip takes fifty minutes.

I was curious about the history of the 14, how RIPTA viewed the route, and if any changes were in Aaron the works. This PHANEUF week, I exchanged emails with Cristy Raposo, a RIPTA Marketing Specialist. She shared my questions with her colleague, Greg Harris, from RIPTA’s Planning Department. The two tag-teamed in furnishing me with answers. What I learned: the 14 has existed in some form since 1977. The express was added in 1989 when construction on the Mt. Hope Bridge forced the agency to respond to Aquidneck Island riders who asked for an alternate route to Providence. Until then, the local 60 was the bus everyone rode. For two years (1989 until 1991) the 14 Express operated as it does now.

When construction crews left the Mount Hope, bound for other aging bridges, RIPTA considered killing the 14 Express service. By this time, riders, many of whom were lawyers, were very happy with their speedy delivery to Providence and fought hard to keep the service.

Their resolve led RIPTA to keep the 14 Express. Some ten years later there was another challenge to the beloved route. Again, the ridership stood up and voiced their passionate opinions. With the second win, the 14 Express appears safe for the foreseeable future. An average of 16 riders daily use the 14, and the bus

route is rarely brought up at RIPTA service meetings; a fact that normally entails all is well with buses, drivers, and ridership. It seems this gem of a bus and route are quietly serving their faithful constituency.

No changes to the route or time-table are planned at this time.

A friend recently asked me, Why an article on the 14? My reply contained two names: Trip and John.

Riders of the 14 Express will surely respond favorably to the names Trip Wolfskehl and John Egan. Both men have ridden the bus for years and enjoy wonderful reputations.

They are generous, smart and very fun. I met these two gents on my many rides to and from Providence.

Friendships slowly emerged, and we have become full-blown-share, your-life kind of buds. Perhaps we might have met some other way, but I doubt it. For me, the best part of the 14 is the fact I met these two.

They and their families have become dear friends, and I am blessed to know them both.

If our decisions start as solutions to logistical or efficiency problems, they are usually sustained by deeper relational bonds formed over time with other human beings. I started riding the 14 to navigate my way to Providence. I continued to ride because I wanted to see my friends, connect with them and share stories, problems, and amusing moments from life. I think the same is true of many who ride the 14 Express to Providence.

Part 3 of this column will focus on tips and tricks for riding a bus from drivers and frequent riders.

n Gallison introduces bill to ban new drug
Rep. Raymond E. Gallison Jr. (D-Dist. 69, Bristol, Portsmouth) introduced legislation to ban the sale or possession of a new synthetic drug, MDPV, called by the street name “bath salts.�

The powerful synthetic stimulants reportedly cause a cocaine- or methamphetamine-like high. n Bill sponsored to tax luxury clothes 
 Legislation has been introduced to stop exempting luxury clothing items priced at $500 or more from the state sales tax. The bill is an alternative to the governor’s proposal to add a new 1-percent sales tax to many of the items currently exempt, and that it would raise revenue for the state without harming those least able to afford new taxes.


n Defense Economy Planning

Commission begins study
 The Special Legislative Commission on Defense Economy Planning held an organizational and introductory meeting to begin offering recommendations on policies to help preserve the state’s current defense economy and to provide incentives for new investments.

Study Commission issued its final report with key findings and recommendations. The commission was formed in 2009 to conduct a comprehensive review and study of different aspects of municipal pensions. Over the past year, the commission heard testimony from local city and town officials, investment and pension fund experts and labor representatives.

Schools Seek to Dismiss Pell Complaint

Rose Island Gets OK for Improvements

By Tom Shevlin

One of Narragansett Bay’s most recognizable lights is getting a bit of a facelift. The Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation was given approval by the city’s Historic District Commission to move forward on a window-replacement project, last week. The project is one part of a broader renovation plan for the building, which, from its perch overlooking Newport Harbor and the East Passage, is exposed to a relentless onslaught of wind and saltwater.

According to RILF Executive Director David McCurdy, none of the windows on the building are original to the structure, and the windows being replaced date to, approximately, 1990. The plan is to go ahead with an in-kind replacement on the first floor, and install new insulated, double-hung, aluminumclad windows on the second floor. HDC members voted unanimously during their Feb. 24 meeting to approve the application. Also receiving approval were a pair of applications for window replacements by Salve Regina University at 206 Ruggles Ave. and 35 Shepard Ave.Â

The former is home to a university dormitory and was subject to little discussion by commissioners.

The latter, on the other hand, was described by HDC Chairman John Shehan as “one of the most important Queen Anne houses in the country.�

Shehan asked that the improvements be made using single-pane glass windows that are doublehung and “as close to the original as possible.�

Also of note was the approval of applications for window replacements at the following locations: 553 Bellevue Ave.; 9 Cliff Terrace; and 127 Harrison Ave. Meanwhile, the commission voted to deny a request to permit vinyl-clad windows, which were mistakenly installed at 120 Rhode Island Ave. unit D, to remain in place. Â Under New Business, Shehan took a moment to reflect on the upcoming 350th anniversary of Washington Square, and urged residents to pay mind to those buildings surrounding the historic city center that may be in need of repair, to help spruce up the neighborhood in advance of activities planned around the anniversary.Â

86 Broadway, Newport, R.I. 02840 401-847-7766 • 401-846-4974 (fax) A publication of Island Communications Copyright 2011

Four days after receiving a formal complaint, charging the Newport School Committee and School Department with abrogation of due process in the run up to the construction of the new Pell Elementary School, the state Department of Education held a preliminary hearing on Friday, Feb. 18 to brief both sides about what to expect in the process moving forward.

The complaint, dated Feb. 14, 2011, alleges that the Newport School Committee, “failed in its duties to make appropriate provisions to the public for carrying out a $30 million bond approved by Newport voters in Nov. of 2010.� It was sent to State Education Commissioner Deborah Gist, and reviewed by staff attorney Kathleen Murray.

Five of the eleven complainants were in attendance, including Melissa Pattavina, James Asbel, Myles Standish, Drew Carey, and Kelley Cord. Representing the Newport School Department was their legal counsel, Neil Galvin.

Galvin indicated that the School Department would be making a motion to dismiss the complaint, which Murray said would be taken into consideration in her recommendation to Gist. “This Commissioner has a very broad view of her authority,� stated Murray. “As a hearing officer, I give her my opinion on the issue. And it’s her line of decision that exists on jurisdiction.�

If there is reasonable cause for another hearing according to Commissioner Gist, the groups in question are to set a date for their attorneys, determine their witnesses, and a hearing will be held in Newport on a date and time of their choosing.

For What It’s Worth

Dear Dear Mr. Santi, Please find enclosed a photo of a music box. It seems like it has been in our family forever; I can remember it when I was just little boy.

We were never allowed to play it; father would crank it up on special occasions like holidays or when we had Sunday company. It is in good condition, plays about 8 songs and the birds strike the bells. There is one tine missing but it doesn’t seem to affect the music. How old is it and what is it worth? —Curious

Dear Curious, Music boxes are a very special collectible. Bells, whistles, drums add to the complexity of the mechanism. Your bird/bell box was made in Switzerland prior to 1890. One of the images shows a beautiful inlaid flower decoration on the lid. Condition is important, and because yours is in playing condition with a beautiful wood case, it would have a value in the $5,000 to $7,000 price range.

— Federico Santi, Partner, The Drawing Room Antiques Do you have a treasured item and want to know “what it’s worth?”

Send an image, as hi-res as possible, directly to Federico at: drawrm@hotmail.com or 152 Spring St., Newport

EDITORIAL The Armory–Redevelop or Not? Standing in the bowels of the Thames Street Armory last week, it was hard not to see the potential in the space. Plans calling for the construction of a transient boater facility have been debated for months, now. The city has pledged to move ahead, and, if all goes well, the facility could be open in time for the height of the summer.

The space is simple and raw. Massive wood beams run across the ceiling, intersecting at points with even larger brick columns. The ceiling is high for a basement, and though it’s dark, it doesn’t feel closed in.

City planners walked through the space and pointed out where the shower facilities would be, which walls would stay, and what would go.

But, it was also hard to look past the years of neglect. How did this historic gem get to this point? How could we allow this to happen?

The redevelopment of the Armory is a project that’s been on the back burner for years. And if not for federal grant money, it could have remained there.

Regardless of where you stand on the proposed Armory Wharf project, let the condition of this historic landmark serve as an example of what can happen when we take a wait and see approach to our public infrastructure.

Located on one of the most heavily-trafficked stretches of downtown, the Armory is a focal point of the Lower Thames Street area.

It is quite simply one of the most visible and identifiable buildings along the street.

Unlike our underground water and sewer infrastructure, we cannot ignore the condition of the Armory, simply by choosing not to look.

City Councilwoman Naomi L. Neville may have said it best when she said that the Armory is a building worth saving. We agree.

Water Improvements Could Cost Less than Initially Estimated

By Tom Shevlin Needed improvements to the city’s water treatment plants could cost less than first expected, city officials told councilors on Wednesday, Feb. 16.

According to City Manager Edward F. Lavallee, new estimates associated with upgrades to the Lawton Valley and Station One treatment plants indicate that the total cost of the projects could come in $10 million less than previously thought. Last year, councilors were told that improvements to the plants would cost between $50 million on the low end, to up to $87 million.

Lavallee and Public Utilities Director Julia Forgue briefed councilors on the status of the mandated projects during a special workshop at City Hall. Advances in filtration technology are the main drivers in the savings.

The higher figure had been associated with a plan to incorporate a cutting edge, nano-filtration system to eliminate harmful byproducts produced during the treatment process. But according to the city, new technology in more proven filtration methods has advanced over the last two years, making the project that much more affordable.

Under a 2004 consent agreement with the state Department of Health and Department of Environmental Management, Newport is required to make improvements to its Lawton Valley and Station

One treatment facilities to reduce the level of total trihalomethanes (TTHMs), a recognized human carcinogen that occurs as a byproduct of chlorination.

The city has until 2014 to have the upgrades complete. It’s expected that the pace of work associated with the project will increase over the coming months as the city moves toward initiating the designbuild process.

According to Forgue, a request for proposals was issued in November and bids are expected to be received by April.

The RFP was formulated based on a months-long testing and review project conducted by consultants Camp, Dresser, McKee and initiated following a council workshop in April of last year.

Over the summer, engineers tested various methods of controlling water quality, including granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration, nano-filtration and a process known as mixed ion exchange, or MIEX which uses a slurry-like resin to remove contaminants during the early stages of the treatment process.

According to Forgue, the city is currently leaning toward either the GAC or MIEX methods, due to potential cost savings.

Mayor Stephen C. Waluk wondered which method would yield the best tasting water.

Both nano-filtration and carbonbased solutions have been shown to produce the best tasting water,

councilors were told, but in each case, it’s likely that taste will be improved.

Forgue noted, however, that there’s not much the city can do about metallic tasting water caused by pipes in the ground or individual properties.

In addition to how much the council should be prepared to spend, Lavallee also reported prior to the meeting that an independent study has determined that the city should indeed continue to own and operate the water system.

Previously, the question had been raised whether it would make more sense to lease or sell the system to a private operator. But according to Lavallee, with an estimated asset valuation of roughly $35 million, the city would be unable to divest itself from the system “at a profit that would make it reasonable within the public interest.”

“Water is becoming more and more valuable of a commodity,” said Lavallee on Tuesday. What dragged the assessment down in the eyes of the consultant was the continued cost of operating and upgrading the system.

Consideration was also given to whether the city should discuss creating a new water authority with other municipalities or entities that already use the system. There,again, the study determined that the city should continue to maintain operating control. “The other users already have a pretty good deal now,” Lavallee explained.

Navy League and Rotary Club Honor Sailors of the Year

By Pat Blakeley The Newport County Council of the Navy League and the Rotary Club of Middletown recognized Naval Station Newport’s 2009 Senior and Junior Enlisted Service Members of the Year at an awards dinner held last week at the Mainstay Inn.

ARMORY CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 lic access to Newport Harbor between Perrotti Park and King Park; housing the only public bathroom station on Lower Thames Street; a public dinghy dock, transient dock services; kayak rental; access to the Rose Island ferry; and a touch-andgo dock space for water taxis. The Armory Wharf project would greatly expand all that.

As an architect and former Planning Board member, City Councilwoman Naomi L. Neville brings a unique perspective to the discussion. She also has a vision for the building, as a whole.

One day, she hopes people will be saying to each other, “Let’s meet at the Armory.”

According to Neville, as a building, it needs attention, suffering from what she acknowledged has been decades of neglect. But, she added, “The bones of the building are good… It’s a building worth investing in.”

Taking advantage of the grant money to fix up the basement, she said, should be seen as a start to what should be a concerted effort to address the building as a whole.

Erected by the State of Rhode Island to house the R.I. militia in 1885, the property was purchased from the state by the Newport Redevelopment Agency in 1984 through a pair of state and municipal loans. It was transferred to the city last year in preparation for its redevelopment.

And while the city’s investment in the facility has received the enthusiastic support of the city’s Waterfront Commission, administration, and boating set, opposition has also emerged.

Some say the building should be sold; that it’s an albatross and has been chronically mismanaged.

Others, say that the city is overreaching in its plans; that the market won’t support it.

But to proponents, Armory Wharf represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to restore a key piece of the downtown waterfront and reinvigorate the Lower Thames Street corridor.

Thanks to a $713,000 federal fish and wildlife grant, plus another $163,000 in state and private contributions, funding for the boating center is already in place.

According to a city-issued prospectus, this new Harbor Center would would reclaim about 8,000square feet of interior space with entrances from Thames Street and the Ann Street Pier. Storage lockers, restrooms with showers; a laundry room, vending area and ATM machines would welcome visitors. The facility would also include a lounge with charts and Internet access; a concierge/information desk; office space for the city dockmaster and facilities manager; and an interactive information kiosk to help visitors locate sight-seeing destination and other ports of call.

It would be open from May 1 to Oct. 31, and staffed most of the season from 6 a.m. to midnight.

Security services will be employed midnight to 6 a.m. As with the city’s parking program, it is conceivable that the city could contract out the operation of the pier and Harbor Center if cost effective. Because of its propensity for flooding during high tide events, the entire lower level center would be wash-out ready.

RHODE ISLAND’S OFFICIAL JEEP LEASING HEADQUARTERS newportjeep.com

Come down and drive the brand new

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee $369/Month 36 Months Mayor Stephen Waluk, looking upward (at right), led a public walkthrough of the Armory building on Thames St. (Photo by Tom Shevlin) Bids have already come in on the project, and the city is prepared to award a contract in the amount of $664,000 to the lowest responsible bidder.

City Councilor Justin S. McLaughlin was one of those who joined the early morning gathering. It was his first time in the basement of the building, and he said afterwards that it was hard not to come away with a new perspective.

In the past, McLaughlin has said that the city should consider selling the property. On Monday, he wondered if there was a way to delay the renovation until another project is given an official go-ahead: the proposed extension of the Ann Street pier.

That project, though technically separate from the transient boater facility, would ostensibly enhance the potential revenue stream for the Armory.

Rarely seen basement view of the Armory building.

“What if CRMC doesn’t permit the extension, or only allows a certain percentage of the extension?,” McLaughlin asked. “We need to be looking at a comprehensive plan for the whole building.”

But according to Paige Bronk, director of Planning, Zoning, Development and Inspections, each element of the Armory Wharf plan has been developed to be self-sustaining.

“It’s important to note that each component generates an annual net positive income for the city,” he said.

For example, the downstairs boating facility is being developed not with revenue derived from the expanded facility at Ann Street, but rather from the city’s existing transient moorings. That’s a key point, according to Bronk. While there is a natural synergy between the lower level boating facility and the revenues generated through additional tie-up fees at the pier, the two are not dependent on each other, he said.

Third Ward Councilwoman Kathryn E. Leonard, who has recused herself from voting on aspects of the plan due to her relationship with the owners of the abutting 41º North, also toured the building on Friday.

“When I saw the building and the way that the city had maintained it, I was really not happy about it,” she said. “How do you take building that is in such disrepair, and expect to put $750,000 into the bottom of it without fixing the rest of it?,” she said. “As a taxpayer, I have to ask: ‘Who’s going to pay for it?’”

“I just really think people would look at things in their entirety.

When you start to look at a project, you look at it in its entirety.”

For its part, the city maintains that it is looking at things comprehensively. Over the last four years, the city has made numerous improvements to the building totaling $184,651, and more are planned for the next few years. Those improvements include roughly $40,000 in roof repairs and another $46,000 in masonry repairs.

Still, after the tour, it was apparent that more work would be needed to address the building, as a whole.

Steve Cundy, owner of Tropical Gangsters and Tropical Gangstillettos, has been a steady voice in opposition of the project. He also joined the group as they made their way through the building. As the Armory’s closest neighbor, he’s watched as the building deteriorated, and remains convinced that the city should sell the property and let the market take its course.

But according to the city, as it is today, the Armory is worth less than $500,000, and if sold, it would need to pay the state $200,000 as part of its original purchase agreement. Also, a state historic preservation office deed restriction limits the exterior changes that can be made to the building, thereby decreasing the likelihood of the city securing private investments.

Whatever the ultimate best use for the upstairs of the building is, most believe that the building should help augment existing businesses rather than compete with them.

In that respect, as Neville notes, moving ahead with the transient boater facility may very well be a step in the right direction toward the day when ‘meeting at the Armory’ becomes second nature for tourists and locals alike.

Imagine a healthcare system where the patient is treated, not just the disease.

Healthcare reform is front and center and on many people’s minds lately, but beyond legislation there has been a push by patients who want a more holistic approach to their healthcare. There is a shift taking place to treat not only the disease, but also the patient through mind-body healing in the form of yoga, massage, acupuncture, Reiki, nutrition, prayer, meditation, and other alternative and complementary therapies.

Some hospitals are making an effort to find a balance between battling illness and nourishing life. There are a few innovative, hospital-based, integrative therapy programs. Though all are still in their infancies. They integrate conventional and unconventional therapies to create an environment that provides multi-tiered healing for their patients. However, one of the big hurdles in getting integrative care programs implemented in other hospitals is being able to show that these interventions not only are nice for the patients but are actually going to save money.

Integrative Therapy Programs In Middletown, we are fortunate to have the non-profit Center for Health and Well-Being located at 333 Valley Rd, a branch of the Integrative Care Program of Women & Infants Hospital (WIH) and funded by the Van Beuren Charitable Foundation. Women & Infants has found true balance between treating illness and nourishing life, and has been at the forefront of the evidence-based research and integration of complementary care. This holistic perspective allows integrative medicine to facilitate the body’s innate healing process to naturally manage symptoms, increase wellness, and improve the effectiveness of treatments. Kerri Maroney, Inte-

grative Care Coordinator, is eager to have this program be a part of the community to help patients in their healing process. Kerri is genuine when she says, “We are here to provide a space of awareness, education, and support to nurture the body’s innate healing process.�

The integrative care services of this

program, offered both to WIH patients and to the public, include lymphedema therapy, acupuncture, massage, Reiki, hypnotherapy, reflexology, skin care, yoga, holistic fitness, Thai bodywork and psychotherapy, as well as weight loss programs and support groups. In their efforts to be embraced by the community, they have reached out to Newport Hospital, where they have been well received, and they invite members of the therapeutic community to give workshops that would benefit their patients. They are also seeking outside space, due to their limited clinic space, to be donated so that they can hold larger classes and/or workshops to help the broader East Bay community.

For more information, visit www. womenandinfants.org/middletown or call 846-0042.

The Boston Medical Center (BMC) offers holistic care to their patients through grants, private philanthropy and volunteers. Currently, there is an incredible demand for integrative services at BMC; approximately 1,500 patients a year benefit from one or more of the safe, evidencebased therapies offered free of charge at the center, which include acupuncture, massage, yoga and qi gong. For more information go to www.bmc.org

New York City’s Beth Israel Medical Center (BIMC), through the efforts and funding of fashion designer Donna Karan and her Urban Zen Foundation, provides wholeperson, integrative care for cancer patients. The integrative therapy program, located within the hospital, offers patients yoga therapy, essential oil therapy, Reiki and nutrition, as well as, a designated tranquil space intended for meditation and prayer. For more information www.urbanzen.org Extraordinary Healing Our bodies already know how to restore themselves, we just have to provide the tools for repair. Nurturing the body’s innate healing abilities through lifestyle choices has long been a cornerstone of complementary disciplines: eat good-quality, nutrient-rich foods that boost immune function and lower inflammation; participate in regular moderate exercise to promote circulation which helps detoxify the body, strengthen muscles (including the heart); and increase nutrient and oxygenation of cells, all of which are critical for healthy immune function. Find time to relax, because a healing state of mind provides the body with the ability to recover from its daily traumas. Negative feelings (such as anxiety, fear and loneliness) trigger stress hormones which inhibit the immune system, while positive feelings (like happiness, love and peacefulness) can boost our immune system and thus our healing ability.

It’s not a single stressor that makes you sick–it’s the cumulative effect of many stressors on the body, mind and spirit that wears you down and makes you vulnerable. We all have the natural mechanisms for ongoing healing in our bodies. As long as you’re living, you’re healing, which is why it’s so important that you allow your body to function at its maximum potential by making healthy choices.

Everyone Needs a Friend – Including your Public Library!

The Friends of the Newport Public Library have started their annual Membership Drive. Membership is as low as $10 for an individual and helps support a variety of Library programs. The Friends are particularly active in supporting Children’s programs and book purchases.

During the past year, our library saw an 8.8% increase in materials circulated and a 30% increase in program attendance.

By joining the Friends you can help the library continue to expand its services. Last year the Friends donated almost $30,000 in cash and materials to the Newport Public Library. Membership forms are

in the Friends Bookstore, lower lobby of the library or at: www.newportlibraryri.org/npl/support-yourlibrary/friends-of-the-library/.

The Friends also offer many ways to volunteer at the Library. Every week hundreds of used books are donated to the Newport Public Library, and a dedicated group of volunteers sort, price and arrange them for sale in the Bookstore, which now has almost 5,600 books for sale. Of those, about 2,800 are fiction and the rest are non-fiction.

There is a special area for children’s books, as well as a good selection of music CDs and DVDs. Additional volunteers staff the Bookstore sales

desk. All proceeds from the Bookstore are donated to the Library.

Another way to volunteer is helping at one of the three annual Book Sales that are held in January, July and November. Each one of these sales needs numerous volunteers to help set up and staff the sale.

The Friends also host other events such as this year’s “A Winter’s Tail� where children read seasonal stories to Potter League trained dogs, made crafts and enjoyed refreshments. Volunteers are always welcome, and if you are interested, please call the Library at 847-8720, x100 to sign up.

On nationaljournal. com, Obama was quoted during the speech saying, “In South Korea, teachers are known as `nation builders.’ Here in America, it’s time

we treated the people who educate our children with the same level of respect.” Hearing the President say this was very reassuring for Blaess, as she often experiences both personally and second-hand the increasing lack of respect that students seem to be showing towards their educators. She was impressed to hear President Obama speak about inspiring young people to become teachers and how important that it is to him and the nation as a whole.

Blaess recalled that she was one of the first people to applaud the importance of keeping the science fair in schools to help give students a well-balanced education.

The President’s remarks regarding the controversial rescinding of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, however, brought a standing applause to just about all members of the audience, while the members of the military who were present remained seated. This was because, as Blaess knew, thanks to her re-

tired military husband, both the military and the Supreme Court are not allowed to clap or show any emotion that may represent an opinion during the speech. Another concern for the kindergarten teacher that was addressed by President Obama, was energy conservation. The President said his goal is to have 80% of the nation’s electricity be derived from clean energy sources by 2035, leaving her hopeful.

Blaess was in high spirits at the conclusion of the speech, not only with the progress that she felt he made with his address, but because she was able to hear the speech in person. Being able to see the First Lady was quite an experience, as well. “Television and print really do not do her justice. Even Hillary Clinton was much more beautiful than I expected,” she remembers.

After the speech, everyone had to wait until the President departed before they could even begin to leave, themselves. An intern came to direct Blaess through the underground corridors and back to Cicilline’s office where she arrived even before the Congressman, because of the strong security.

Blaess then witnessed what it was like for a Congressman after the address. The former Providence mayor had to contact seven different press organizations, such as Rhode Island radio station WPRO, to talk about his reactions to the speech. She was also able to observe the diverse reactions from both political parties. In response to the address, Cicilline said, “The message President Obama sent this evening is the same message I have been hearing for the past year from the men and women of Rhode Island–the challenges we face as a nation will not be overcome with Democratic or Republican solutions, but with solutions for America.”

Finally, escort vehicles were allowed to leave the building, and Newport’s 2010 Teacher of the Year was whisked away from her evening feeling like a sort of political Cinderella.

By Paige Farias Dale Blaess was chosen as Newport’s 2010 Teacher of the Year, not only because of her hard work as a kindergarten teacher at William J. Underwood Elementary School, but also for her understanding of the strong relationship between teacher and parent that needs to be shaped in order for each child to succeed. In November, she also received the National Educator Award from the Milken Family Foundation for her fourteen-year dedication as a teacher, which is why she was chosen to be Congressman David N. Cicilline’s guest at President Obama’s State of the Union Address on Jan. 25. When Blaess found out that she had been selected, she was stunned. “I was in such shock that I didn’t believe that I was actually going to Washington. I thought that I would be Cicilline’s guest for something here in Rhode Island, profiling the address–never that I would get to go to the real thing,” she recalls.

After arriving in Washington and meeting Cicilline, Blaess was es-

Newport’s Swanhurst Chorus is offering seven performances of Cole Porter’s madcap, shipboard romp, “Anything Goes” as its spring dinner-theater show, the group’s 17th annual “Tribute to Broadway” production.

The light-as-air story takes place aboard an ocean liner, the S.S. American, sailing from New York to London, and it involves an intricate romantic triangle among a stowaway, an heiress and an aristocrat.

Ever since the show’s Broadway debut in 1934, it has won the love of audiences for its witty dialog and lively tunes by the master of the genre, Porter. Over the decades, “Anything Goes” has been revived in several different versions, some emphasizing dance, others music.

“For this production, we’re doing the full 1962 version, including all of the original songs,” says Lisa Babbitt, who handles publicity for Swanhurst. “Some of the bestknown songs are All Through the Night, Friendship, You’re The Top, I Get a Kick Out of You, and of course, Anything Goes.”

Babbitt notes that it seems especially appropriate that Swanhurst will be performing this particu-

For each show, Jonathan Babbitt will produce from 70 to 90 dinners, with cast members doing the plating and serving in between acts.

“Dinner is served within the time frame of the play,” explains Lisa Babbitt. “We serve salads and drinks, then do the first scene, then serve dinner, and then continue with the rest of Act One.” Patrons are given a choice of two or three entrees, such as chicken, salmon, pork loin, or cheese ravioli.

Babbitt says that the shows “typically sell out,” and the intimate size of the room means that no more than 90 can be accommodated for each performance. Seating is by reservation, with early reservers getting tables closest to the stage. “But the room is small, so even the tables at the back get a very good view.”

TO GO:

When: Friday and Saturday evenings, March 5, 11, 12, 18 and 19, with Sunday matinees on March 6 and 13.

Where: Newport’s Fenner Hall, 15 Fenner Ave. Info: Doors will open Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:30 p.m., and Sundays at 1:30 p.m. Tickets for the evening performances are $35 and include a full dinner, dessert buffet. Sunday matinees are $28 with full lunch and dessert included. Children 12 and under are $30 for Fridays and $23 for matinees. Reservations are advised. Call 401-682-1630 or visit www.

lar musical for Newport audiences, because Porter is said to have penned the musical while staying at Rosecliff.

For most of the year, the 50member Swanhurst Chorus performs more serious, classical concerts. But some of its members also enjoy the opportunity to “cut loose” each spring with a performance of a fun-loving Broadway show. The cast of “Anything Goes” numbers 18, with the other members of the regular chorus helping out behind the scenes.

It’s a dinner-theater show, so “we also do the cooking and serving,” says Babbitt, whose husband Jonathan wears multiple hats as director, chef, and keyboardist – one half of the show’s two-person live band.

Rogers Narragansett

Salve Defeats Curry Four different Seahawks scored in double figures to lead top-seeded Salve Regina University women’s basketball to a 66-44 win over No. 8 Curry College in the opening round of The Commonwealth Coast Conference (TCCC) Championships. The Seahawks advance to their third straight TCCC semifinal and will host No. 5 Regis College. Salve Regina’s semi-final tilt with the Pride tips off at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 24 from the Rodgers Recreation Center. The Seahawks defeated the Pride by six (66-60) in early January.

Viking Girls Clinch Second The Rogers High School Girls basketball team secured home court advantage in the first round of the upcoming playoffs, with a resounding 58-32 win over Narragansett on Tuesday night. With the victory, the Vikings (12-5 in Div. II-South play and a 14-8 record, overall), clinched second place in their division, behind Prout. Rogers streaked to an insurmountable halftime lead of 37-16 and cruised through the second half.

Nifaty Morales, scored 16 points, and Tia Cromwell added 13 points and a ton of rebounds to lead Rogers.

Salve Senior Kim Horan, #12, has the edge on the rebound over Curry’s Hailey Rafferty while junior Lindsay Shorey, #23, eyes the winner.

Salve’s Kaitlyn Birrell, #32, blows past Curry’s Joneiha Veiga’s defense on her way to scoring 12 points.

Nifaty Morales, #11, drives past a Narragansett defender, along the baseline. Morales scored 16 points to lead all scorers in the game.

Frostbite Results Mike Auperin and Moose McClintock, of the Frostbite race committee, fired off eight races in a solid 15 to 20 knots on Sunday, Feb. 20. With square courses and a shifty northwesterly, the fleet of more than a dozen lasers appeared to be piled together at every rounding. Mark Bear won with 16 points. With 32 points Will Donaldson took second place. Next, Ted Hood and Mark Kroening tied with 38 points each. In fourth, was Mike Curtin with 41 points.

The first gun, at Fort Adam’s Sail Newport, is at 1 p.m. with sailing generally until 3 p.m. The race series continues until May 1.

Rogers Brianne Morgera, #50, strips a rebound away from a Narragansett player.

Morgera finished with 8 points in her team’s victory. #53, Tia Cromwell, gets up over a defender to score two of her 13 points for Rogers High School.

Local Business Receives a Sweet Call Amanda Bryan may be heading into a battle zone of delicious proportions. The owner of the delectably sweet It’s My Party at 84 William St. got a very big phone call right after Valentine’s Day. The popular cable channel, Food Network, called Bryan asking her to submit a video for a casting call with the chance to appear on a season 3 episode of the their show “Cupcake Wars.”

Urged by friends and fans of her cupcakes to apply to the show, Bryan followed suit, and was overjoyed to get a response. The next step is

to submit a video to Food Network showcasing Bryan’s skills.

The video, which was created and edited at Video & Vision, also on William Street, was submitted to the Food Network on Friday, Feb. 18 for their review.

“Even if I don’t make it to the show, just to think that Food Network called, it’s all very exciting for me,” said Bryan, as she dished out a special “Buy One – Get One Free” deal on her display case full of cupcakes that she prepared, especially for the casting call video.
