Not as Old as She Looks Queen Anne Square was created in the 1970s after a number of derelict buildings were torn down to make way for a park with a view of historic Trinity Church. The present-day park was a gift to the City of Newport by the late Doris Duke and the Newport Restoration Foundation, is now proposing a $3.5-million redesign, incorporating a fountain and several lighted seating areas inside faux foundations dotted around the park and landscaped with trees. The designer for the project is Maya Lin, celebrated for such high-profile projects as Washington, D.C.’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial. (An artist’s rendition of the proposed redesign is shown above.

Salve Grads Encouraged to Teach and Inspire Others By Meg O’Neil The 678 graduates of Salve Regina University excitedly entered the colossal tent on the campus lawn along Cliff Walk, at the exact moment that the sun broke through the clouds, at the university’s 61st commencement ceremonies on Sunday, May 15. With 441 baccalaureate degrees, 212 master’s degrees, 18 certificates of advanced graduate studies, and seven doctorates to be handed out, the group seamlessly situated themselves in their seats, ready to hear the commencement speaker, Second Lady of the U.S., Dr. Jill Biden, personally address them, and their families, and friends.

“When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself, but the world.” –Dr. Jill Biden Nuala Pell, wife of the late Senator Claiborne d. Pell, introduced her long-time friend, and “master teacher,” Dr. Jill Biden to the podium. In a brief, but thoughtful speech to the students, Biden explained the, “transformative power of education.” A veteran teacher, who continues to teach full-time at a community college in Virginia,

Biden explained that the SRU graduates are living up to the school’s mission of, “Working for a world that is harmonious, just and merciful.” Continuing her speech, Biden named several graduating students who have lived up to that motto, asking them to stand, and thanking them for their service, hard work, and commitment to education. She thanked Courtney Richards, one of three ROTC cadets graduating that day, saying, “On a daily basis, you show us what words like ‘service,’ ‘strength’ and ‘sacrifice’ really mean.” Biden also mentioned and thanked Kelsey Fitzgibbons, Evan Gallo, and Megan Welsh, who started “Salve Hearts for Haiti,” after the devastating Haitian earthquake that resulted in the loss of thousands of lives and devastated the country’s infrastructure. The group raised $21,000 to rebuild a school, helping to rebuild the country’s education system. Finally, Biden mentioned Dan Royce, a student athlete who worked multiple jobs in Newport over the years to pay for his education, but also found time to volunteer with Special Olympics. Biden also proudly mentioned that Royce would be graduating with an education degree, with plans of becoming a teacher. While not all the graduating students will go on to become teachers, Biden explained her hope that all the students would

As the city’s budget process begins to wind down, council members shouldn’t count on any big savings from a firefighter overtime line item. In March, City Manager Edward F. Lavallee ordered that minimum fire department staffing be reduced from 20-man shifts to 17. The action, he said, was needed in order to make up a projected $8 million budget gap. For the final quarter of the fiscal year – which began April 1 – Lavallee had expected to save upwards of $200,000, with another $1 million in savings achieved over the course of the coming fiscal year. Predictably, the move was objected to immediately by the city’s fire fighter union, and the matter quickly wound up in court. The two sides reached a temporary agreement on April 1 that kept staffing at

Biden quoted the poet William Butler Yeats, saying, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” She continued, urging the students to, “embrace that fire and do what you love, and just as important, inspire others to love that something else, too.” In her closing statements, Biden also quoted the founder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams, who once said, “The greatest crime in the world is not developing your potential. When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself, but the world.” She continued,

saying, “You owe it to yourself, to your professors, and to your school. You owe it to the families who are just dying to hug you right now, and to the friends all around you, eager to celebrate with you. But most importantly, you owe it to yourself. Keep the fire lit – and lit brightly – so others can follow the trails you blaze.” Before Biden stepped to the podium, Mayor of Newport, Stephen C. Waluk, also addressed the class of 2011, as the city representative. “You’ve worked, you’ve played, and you’ve learned,” he said. “The city of Newport is truly a better

As the school year draws to a close, the potential groundbreaking on the Claiborne d. Pell Elementary School is in the minds of many local parents. A group of Newport residents is pushing forward with a complaint to state officials that could derail the $30 million project. But since an initial February meeting at the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) where a group of concerned residents, led by Melissa Pattavina, filed a formal complaint to the state charging the Newport School Committee with abrogation of due process in the schematic design process of the new Claiborne d. Pell Elementary School, little progress has been made. The group of residents claims that the “T” shape layout of the new Pell School, adapted by the appointed HMFH architecture group from Cambridge, Mass., is fundamentally flawed, not only in the design itself, but in the manner in which it was chosen. They maintain that, “The School Building Committee did not have a role as required by Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) regulations,” and that, “meaning-

ID Program Benefits Kids By Meg O’Neil The East Bay Masons set up a free program called CHIPS (Child Identification Programs) at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center on Saturday, May 14. Part of the Amber Alert Program that helps to locate missing and abducted children nationwide, CHIPS was designed as an advanced technological means to help police officers searching for kidnapped youth. As part of the program, parents fill out a basic information questionnaire on their child, while children provide information of their own. Seated in front of one of the Masonic volunteers, children’s mannerisms are recorded on video, by a laptop-mounted camera. Next, they are handed a microphone to answer several questions about themselves, so that their voice is recorded and saved on the computer. In

addition to that, the fingerprints of each child are scanned. All the information collected is entered into a laptop, transmitted onto a disc and handed over to the parents. The contents of the disc are then erased from the computer, so that the parents are the sole owners of the confidential information. A DNA swab of the child’s mouth is also taken and given to parents to keep. If a child goes missing, the parents can hand over the disc to a police officer, who can upload the valuable information into their computer system in a matter of seconds. “The program has been successful all over the country,” says Bob Sinclair, the Mason in charge of the East Bay CHIPS program. According to him, “We have been notified in the last six months that five children have been found thanks to the disc. It saves hours of time.”

City Taps Interns for Infrastructure Survey By Tom Shevlin A few weeks ago a group of 46 students from Johnson and Wales University packed into a caravan of charter buses, made their way down Lower Thames Street, and emptied out into the streets. But this wasn’t a pub crawl or graduation party; this was a class project, the final result of which stands to benefit the city with hundreds of hours of research and analysis into the condition of its sidewalks and street lights. Fanning out in groups of five, notebooks in hand, the students, part of a cost accounting class, spent hours taking note of the city’s sidewalks as well as the placement, style and condition of existing street lights. The result is 2,700 pages of data, 573 hours of examination time, and 450 hours of data input. Last week, they presented their initial findings to a panel that included City Manager Edward F. Lavallee and Public Services Director William Riccio.

SRU CONT. FROM PG. 1 place because of the presence of Salve Regina students … I sincerely thank you for selecting Newport as your second home, and please know, we will always welcome you back.” Receiving an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree at the ceremony was Newport’s William M. Vareika. A historian and philanthropist, Vareika was thanked by the university for, “forging the link between artistic and social awareness, and for his significant contributions to Salve Regina University.” SRU’s chancellor, Sister Therese Antone, conducted the invocation. In her prayer, she expressed the bittersweet emotion that she feels at all graduations: the feeling of sadness to see an accomplished group of students leave, but also being filled with, “the wonderful anticipation of the good that they will do with the gifts and opportunities given to them.” Antone spoke for the SRU leadership, “Once again, we send forth from this place, women and men prepared to meet the challenges of life in our complex, global society. Some are excited, many are nervous, but all of them are ready.” Congratulations, graduates!

It was Lavallee who initiated the program, which he described as an internship collaboration that came at no cost to the city. The impetus, he said, was to get a sense of whether the city’s records are accurate, and to provide a baseline for future infrastructure projects. In assessing the sidewalks, for example, the students came up with a plan to find and record the worst sidewalks, and rate the severity of the damage. They determined that well over 90 percent of the city’s individual sidewalk panels are in good condition. For the streetlights, they examined every pole and every light , determining their location and whether they’re sited on public or private property, the wattage used, and the style. They then compared the data with records on file with National Grid. It was a highly labor-intensive task, and one which the city may not have gotten around to. “If you were to have contracted this out, imagine what that would

cost,” Lavalle said. “I don’t think we bought a piece of paper yet.” Over the years, the city has made a habit of using interns for public service tasks, from the development of the parking enforcement program with Salve Regina University in the 1970s, to projects with schools from as far away as UCONN. This latest collaboration is bringing an end to a three-phase project which also included the development of a business plan for the Easton’s Beach rotunda. The data generated from the streetlight study alone could yield significant savings. According to Lavallee, the city currently by spends roughly $500,000 a year to light the city’s streets. By standardizing the wattage used, relocating, or removing some streetlights, Lavallee expects that city could slightly ease the burden on taxpayers. “This is valuable data. This is important data for us,” said Lavallee.

OVERTIME CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 19 men shifts – the same number used during the winter – until a full hearing could take place. That process got underway late last month. But after a pair of court dates, Lavallee said on Tuesday that he doesn’t expect any resolution to come before the start of the fiscal year on July 1. In fact, the next court date won’t take place until July 5, he said. And while the city will achieve some savings from maintaining the department’s winter manning through the duration of the court proceedings, it won’t be anywhere near what Lavallee had initially projected. In other budget-related news, the city has received an unexpected vote of confidence from the Alliance for a Livable Newport’s Government and Accountability Committee. During last week’s budget hearing at the start of the council’s May 7 meeting, ALN’s Ron

Becker, who has been critical in the past, said that this year, his group believes the city is on the right track with its budget proposal. “I might surprise you that this year, I think the city’s proposal is a good one,” Becker said. “It’s not perfect,” but be commended the administration for “spreading the sacrifice evenly.” But, he added, there are things that he would like to see changed. Among them: reducing the city’s allocation to the school department to better fit the decline in school population. That’s an issue that was expected to be discussed on Wednesday as city councilors met in their last public workshop with their counterparts on the School Committee. Be sure to visit our sister publication online at www.NewportNow.com for a full wrap up of that meeting, plus plenty more on the ongoing budget process.

PELL SCHOOL CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 ful public engagement was not allowed.” They also believe that the presented “T” Shape design, “contains flaws that will impair the quality of education and safety of the children.” In response to those accusations, Newport School Committee’s lawyer, Neil Galvin, has motioned to throw out the claims against the school committee, maintaining the NSC followed proper procedures, but the resident group has filed a sur-reply, urging RIDE staff attorney Kathleen Murray to follow through with a full hearing. Because they believe that the

community was not involved in meetings on the design process, the group wrote in the reply, their request is to seek, “A window of 3-4 months to re-open the design process, perhaps with a new architect.” The group also writes, “The engagement process was deeply flawed, because it lasted less than two weeks from start to finish, and because [a] Feb. 14 hearing that purportedly was scheduled to solicit community input in fact was little more than a charade.” The group is referring to a public forum held on Feb. 14 at Thompson Middle School, where community

members listed what they would like to see in the new school. Immediately after that meeting, the Newport School Committee voted in favor of the “T”-shape design, much to the chagrin of those who had attended the public forum moments before. If Murray find that a full hearing on the issue is necessary, the case would be heard by Commissioner Deborah A. Gist, which could result in a delay of any further development of the Pell School.

EDITORIAL Parents: Beware of Bullying Every, weekday shortly after 2 p.m., the doors to Thompson Middle School open, letting out a cascade of school children down the stairs and across Broadway. Our office windows look directly out onto the scene, kids streaming through the crosswalk and dispersing themselves in small groups to the left or right. There is order for the most part, with parents waiting nearby for their daily pick up. But there have also been those few times when mean-spirited schoolyard dynamics have played out between classmates. In preparation for this week’s paper, we visited the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center to check in on an anti-bullying workshop held over the weekend. For too many of our school-aged children, bullying is as much a constant as algebra or phys. ed. And while the dynamics may remain familiar from generation to generation, the methods of bullying are changing. The power of the Internet cuts both ways. One of the things we hope you take away from this week’s paper is an awareness of the need for parents to become as active in their children’s online lives as they are off-line. Growing up can be painful. Adding technology to the mix with its myriad texts, tweets, and IMs only adds to the minefield children have to navigate, today. While there’s plenty to worry about on the municipal front – from budgets and fire department staffing to unfunded pensions – we shouldn’t lose sight of the homefront. Yes, we should strive to make Newport a more livable community by making sure our fiscal house is in order. But there’s more to a community than spreadsheets and politics. We here are reminded of that every weekday around 2 p.m.

The additional funding could just convince City Council members to take on the property, which for years has been home to a variety of vocational programs ranging from carpentry and autoshop to cosmetology.

estimated that the facility would need about $4 million in upgrades in order to meet state accessibility and fire code regulations. That number was cause for concern for councilors, who, earlier this year, asked the school department to provide a detailed analysis on the potential liabilities the city would face if it accepted the state’s offer. According to Ambrogi, “It is my understanding…that there is a small window of opportunity for (the city) to accept these monies, in that over one-half million dollars of the offer is in this year’s budget and would need to be acted on quickly.” Both Ambrogi and property services director Paul Fagan have expressed their support for taking on the facility saying, it makes both educational and fiscal sense. The matter is expected to be taken up by the council at their Wednesday, May 25 meeting.

Technical Center to your district will help achieve this,” Caroline Dias, RIDE’s chief of fiscal integrity and efficiencies, wrote in an email to Supt. Dr. John H. Ambrogi. According to Dias, in addition to having already completed some $1.6 million in improvements to the property since 2007, RIDE has been working with the Department of Administration and is recommending that an additional $200,000 be appropriated for the transfer and mprovement of the center. This will provide a total of $1.2 million for high priority improvements to the facility. In addition, RIDE has set up a meeting with representatives from the Governor’s Commission on Disabilities for May 27, at 9 a.m. at the center to review alternative solutions to achieving accessibility to the carpentry program area without requiring a full service elevator.

The anticipated completion date for the city’s long-awaited transient boater’s facility has been delayed to August. City Planning Director Paige Bronk told city councilors last week that construction had to be pushed back several weeks in order to remove a small amount of asbestos identified during a state-required environmental study. Mayor Stephen C. Waluk was disappointed to hear about the delay, and described the project as “vitally important” and long overdue. The project had been originally slated for a July 4 opening.

Final Budget Workshop Held A series of public workshops on the City Manager’s proposed FY201112 budget wound up with a meeting on Wednesday, May 18 at which City Council members met with their counterparts on the School Committee for a special joint workshop at City Hall. The purpose of the meeting was to resolve the two sides of the city’s operating budget. School Committee members have estimated that they need $37.4 million in state and local funding for the upcoming school year. City Manager Edward F. Lavallee has proposed that the city provide $22.5 million of that sum – the same amount allocated in 2010-11, and over $700,000 less than 2009.

Boathouse Restoration Approved By Tom Shevlin Â For the last 35 years, Kirby Perkins Construction Co. has been responsible for bringing back to life some of the most architecturally and historically significant structures in Newport. Across the city, their handiwork can been seen in the restorations of such buildings as the Isaac Bell House, the Newport Country Club, and the Swiss Village Foundation. So in April, when the city issued a cease and desist order on a project that had previously passed through the Historic District Commission review process, Jerry Kirby was predictably frustrated. The dispute centers around an historic boathouse on Brenton Cove known as Aloha Landing and on a simple question: At what point does restoration turn into demolition? On Tuesday, Kirby appeared before the Historic District Commission once more â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â defending the work being conducted at the property and the reputation of his firm. According to the city, Kirby Perkins violated building ordinances by demolishing the historic post and beam structure without a demolition permit.

Restoration of historic boathouse raises questions. (Photo by Tom Shevlin) came down. When it was followed by the post and beam frame work of the second floor, the city took notice. On Friday, April 8, a cease and desist letter was hand delivered to Kirby Perkins alleging that they had torn down an historic structure without the proper permits or approvals. Kirby was out of town at the time

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, from our perspective, if a building has been removed, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been demolishedâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Paige Bronk But where the city sees an unauthorized demolition, Kirby sees a painstaking restoration effort. Purchased out of bankruptcy in 2010 by Samuel Mencoff, Aloha Landing was badly in need of repair. When plans were developed to restore the property, preservationists â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â including city Preservation Planner Dana Corson â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â were more than happy to see the building back in good hands. In February, the HDC approved an application to perform a complete restoration on the project with minimal discussion. The original plans indicated that the property would need, among other improvements, a new roof, timber framing, and masonry work. Architects from Mark P. Finlay Architects were hired to help guide the restoration. After assessing the building, workers conducted an extensive inventory, tagging and cataloguing each individual post, beam, and rafter. They then proceeded with what Kirby described as a standard post and beam restoration process. Then the roof at Aloha Landing

the letter was delivered, but he asked commissioners on Tuesday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can you issue a cease and desist if you never came to the job site?â&#x20AC;? According to Kirby, he had presented plans to the city that provided in detail the extent of the work needed at the property. How else was he expected to restore a post and beam structure,? he asked. In order for the vertical support posts to be repaired, they would have to be removed. He also disputed whether the building was technically demolished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing wound up in a dumpster,â&#x20AC;? Kirby said, instead calling the process dismantling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dismantling was always part of the plan,â&#x20AC;? he said. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how the city sees it. According to Paige Bronk, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of Planning, Zoning, Development and Inspections, any time that any component in the historic district is removed, it requires HDC approval. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, from our perspective, if a building has been removed, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

been demolished,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the staff or the HDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role to extract every detail of a requestâ&#x20AC;Ś If an applicant wants to remove a structure, they need to indicate that.â&#x20AC;? The minutes from the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Feb. 17 meeting, however, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show that any explicit statements were made regarding the need to demolish or remove elements of the boathouse. It was that lack of communication that set off the chain of events that led the city to pursue a cease and desist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The burden of proof is placed on the applicant,â&#x20AC;? Bronk added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just imagine if a generic company did the same exact thing. People wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate for one moment to question them.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at this point where the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pedigree becomes pertinent. According to Kirby, his company has performed over 168 historic restoration projects in the area, accounting for an estimated $108 million in repairs, earning 10 national, state, and local preservation awards. That Kirby Perkins is one of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected and prominent contractors is something Bronk readily acknowledges. Presenting in excess of 26 separate exhibits into the record, Kirby emphasized that the process undertaken by his company was needed in order to account for what was shown to be extensive rot and a severely compromised roof system. When asked by Kirby if they had seen any of the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original plans, commission members in the whole responded that they had not.

Kids learn to ‘Be a Buddy, Not a Bully’ By Meg O’Neil To curb bullying in Aquidneck schools, the Martin Luther King Community Center welcomed parents and children to the first “Be a Buddy, Not a Bully” program on Saturday, May 14. Put together by retired Providence police officer, Lieutenant John Reis, who started P.A.V.E., The Partnership to Address Violence through Education, and www.drawthelineri.org, the program aims to address the negative impact of bullying. Several stations were set up at the center for kids to learn about different facets of bullying and ways in which they can make a difference. At each station, volunteers gave children strategies, asked them about the difference between “kidding vs. bullying,” and asked kids if they agreed or disagreed with examples of bullying. Small prizes were awarded to each child when they completed the stations. Experts say that bullying is most prevalent during middle school years. Reis conducted a workshop for local parents to learn about bullying in school and of bullying happening at home, via the internet. According to Reis, cyber bullying typicall involves the social media juggernaut, Facebook. “Facebook is a monster,” says Reis. The parents in attendance were in agreement. “With 500 million users worldwide in 206 countries, anybody can connect with your kids.” Reis gave several examples of nationwide headlines about bullying on Facebook, many involving demeaning messages between students that other students can see. Reis goes on to explain that, as vigilant as parents think they may be at monitoring their child’s Internet usage, children know how to get around that. “I know plenty of

Newport Police Officer Danny Turmel explains the differences between “bullying” and “kidding” to Jasper and Willow, siblings who go to Sullivan Elementary. (Photo by Meg O’Neil) children who admit to having double Facebook accounts,” he says, “One for their real friends and one that they can show their parents.” With technology evolving and texting and Facebook available at children’s fingertips, Reis admits that it is hard to keep track, saying, “[Parents] lost the battle with cell phones. Here’s a battle we can win though – kids don’t need Internet on their cell phones. There is no good reason why they need it.” Reis also explained that in the last ten years, bullying in schools has completely changed. “It perplexes me when parents tell a school administrator that their child is getting bullied on Facebook. Why is that the school’s responsibility?” Newport schools have blocked social media sites from being accessed on school computers. While that is a major step, according to Reis, it needs to be blocked elsewhere, as well. Online bullying starts in the home, and continues into the school system on a daily basis, explained Reese. “It’s really a parent

and community issue,” he says. The most bullied students in school are those with developmental disabilities, he added. “For the most part, our educational system is all-inclusive, which is wonderful. However, we haven’t taught the mainstream about disabilities. It is our responsibility to do so.” Second to developmentally disabled students, students of a different sexual orientation are the most commonly bullied. Reis gave a startling statistic on peers who witness other students being bullied. Student peers witness bullying in about 85 percent of all cases. Of those,80 percent say that seeing bullying makes them feel uncomfortable, but that they only intervene 25 percent of the time. “I tell kids that if you do nothing else but walk away, you’ve done something,” says Reis. “That’s a strategy; it takes power away from the bully and it supports the victim, which is one of the most powerful things they can do.”

Queen Anne Square to Get A Facelift By Katherine Imbrie The graceful greenspace that many consider to be the heart of Newport – Queen Anne Square -will get a makeover beginning this fall, if all goes as the Newport Restoration Foundation hopes. The NRF announced this week that it has engaged internationally acclaimed artist Maya Lin (best known for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.) to design changes to the Square that will include a fountain and several stone “foundations” which will be lighted and will contain seating areas. The idea behind the foundations is to represent the buildings that once stood where the park is today. Those derelict buildings were torn down in the 1970s when Newport benefactress and heiress Doris Duke spearheaded and funded a project to clear the block in order to create a greenspace in the heart of the Historic Hill that would open up a view of the stately white spire of Trinity Church. In the 40 years since Duke turned her vision of Queen Anne Square into reality, that view has become iconic to Newport, the city that she loved. The NRF emphasized that, in this new redesign of the Square, Duke’s original vision will be preserved and enhanced. “Great care will be made to make sure this artistic public space and landscaping fit into the site and don’t overwhelm it. This is a gift to the City, and when completed, will be a significant ad-

dition to Newport. It will be a place where residents and visitors alike can engage in reflection and enjoy the center of Newport’s Historic Hill,” said NRF executive director Pieter Roos, who added that Lin was chosen for the project because of her sensitivity to historic spaces and her history of creating “quiet, contemplative” monuments. The landscaping for the project will be designed by Edwina von Gal, a landscape architect whom Maya Lin selected. Also involved will be Nick Benson, renowned Newport stonemason, whose family has collaborated with Maya Lin on past projects. Pending approval from Newport’s city council, plans call for the project to begin this fall and be completed in 2012. Said Roos: “An important goal is to pay tribute to Doris Duke and the many other preservationists who

BOATHOUSE CONTINUED FROM PG. 7 That came as a surprise to both Kirby and project architect Joe Mulligan, who testified that detailed schematics were submitted in February prior to receiving the commission’s approval. Those plans illustrated not only the original design of the building, but also which elements would be replaced, what would be restored, and what would remain intact. Kirby assumed that the approval to dismantle the building was implicit in the HDC’s initial approval. “You have to go backwards a degree before you can move forward,” he said. And while the city has expressed support of the restoration in concept, how the process has played out has been troubling. Regardless of what the end product may be, the city maintains that the extent that the property was dismantled effectively constitutes a demolition. During the at-times heated hearing, Kirby told commissioners that “I’ve been coming before the HDC for (over 20 years), and I’ve never been asked “How are you going to do it?’” Still, Kirby said that went through in detail the scope of the work during an initial site visit with historic planner Corson. But aside from appearing to reach a general agreement on the need for restoration, Kirby said in retrospect that he “could have been speaking Chinese.” Ultimately, whether his firm violated the sprit of the city’s historic district or building ordinances will be determined by a judge. The matter is currently in court. After expressing a degree of dissatisfaction with the process by which the initial application was obtained and some of the comments made toward the city staff and HDC, commission members voted unanimously, 5-0 to approved the amended application,

which indicates that demolition would be needed. Commission members John Shehan, Theodora Aspegren and Myra Kirby were recused for the hearing. In other business, commissioners: n Approved an application by George Hill for an addition of dormers and other improvements to 65 Prospect Hill St. n Approved an application by the Beechbound Condominium Association to make various exterior improvements to the property at 127 Harrison Ave. n Continued an application by Chris Fiumara for various window and door replacements and relocation at 44 Clarke St. n Denied an application by George Oliver to install a decorative stained glass window at 29 Greenough Place. n Approved an application by Salve Regina University for window replacements at 162 Webster St. n Approved an application by Matthew Breede for exterior improvements at 11 Catherine St. n Denied an application for window replacement by Mary Brunell at 42 Kay St. n Approved an application by Lesley Brooking-Elm to construct a one-story addition along the west elevation at 185 Spring St. n Approved an application by Michael Campbell for window replacements at 8 Cliff Terrace. n Continued an application by Donald Mang to replace a front porch at 12 Willow St. n Continued an application by Trinity Spring LLC to raise an existing addition and construct a new garage at 36 Church St. n And approved an application by James May to make various improvements to 19 and 191/2 Third St.

saved our city’s historic character. Newport exemplifies the positive effect of historic preservation as a catalyst for community revitalization, and this project will provide the city with an asset which will create a more welcoming community space for local residents and tourists, as well as enhancing small business in the area.” Funding for the project at Queen Anne Square is being raised through a combination of private and foundation support for both construction and future maintenance. Major gifts have come from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, van Beuren Charitable Foundation and the Newport Restoration Foundation. Private donations have also been made and further gifts will be welcomed. Over twothirds of the fundraising goal has already been achieved, according to the NRF.

Newporters Help Capture Culinary Showdown Chef Richard Allaire of Tucker’s Bistro and Chef Jonathan Cambra of Castle Hill Inn, both in Newport, were among five competitors representing Rhode Island in the Jonathan Edwards Winery “RI vs. CT Culinary Showdown” in North Stonington, Conn. on Sunday, May 15. More than 300 food and wine enthusiasts gathered under a tent to sample the creations of ten chefs, all of whom were required to use ingredients from a local farm in their dish. The pair of Newport chefs joined their Ocean State colleagues from the Ocean House (Watch Hill), Nicks on Broadway (Providence) and Bistro 9 (East Greenwich). Diners cast their votes in two distinct categories: Best State Overall and Best Signature Dish. Allaire impressed with duck rillettes complemented by Allen Farms pea greens, mango, mustard and braised sunflower seeds. Cambra brought smiles to faces with his native lobster-clam Thermidor with Simmons Farm spring vegetables. The Rhode Island chefs’ efforts won them the “Best State” title, while Chef Chaz Paull of Connecticut’s Captain Packer Inne got the “Best Dish” award for his truffled scallops served with a mashed potato. croquette topped with black truffle citrus butter, grilled asparagus and julienned roasted tomato. Rhode Island’s win meant that a portion of the proceeds from the event benefitted Farm Fresh Rhode Island, while the Connecticut Farmland Trust was also awarded with a donation as a result of Connecticut’s “Best Dish” win. Congratulations to chefs Allaire and Cambra on their part in the triumph!

ROTC Students are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Prepared to Serveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Pat Blakeley

NHCNE Corpsmen: Three-Time Champs Navy corpsmen from all over New England went to New Hampshire last week to compete in the annual Naval Health Clinic New England (NHCNE) Corpsman Challenge, a competition evaluating physical readiness and critical-care competencies. The teams were assessed on their ability to deliver treatment in the field. At the end of the contest, teams from Newport and Groton were tied for first place. After three â&#x20AC;&#x153;sudden deathâ&#x20AC;? rounds of questions on military and medical knowledge, NHCNE Newportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team Fore was declared the winner. This is the third year in a row that Newport brought home the trophy. Congratulations to Team Fore: HM3 Josiah Duhaime, HM3 Gabriel Jimenez, HM2 Cody Jones and HM3 Guido Van Hemelryck. Bravo Zulu!

Unless you happen to catch Salve Regina Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group of uniformed ROTC Cadets running in formation on Bellevue Avenue or hiking the Cliff Walk, chances are you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know we have our own cadre of future Army officers right here in Newport. Salveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unit is part of a battalion based at the University of Rhode Island. This year, the battalion, the Cramerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saber Battalion, has 55 contracted cadets representing Salve, URI and Roger Williams University. The schools each offer courses in military studies and run their own companies, but they train as a larger team at URI. Under the command of Lt. Col. Deborah A. Wilson, the battalion is in its 117th year of developing new leadership for the Army. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking for the leaders of tomorrow, people who have natural leadership skills and will step up to the plate for their country,â&#x20AC;? Wilson says. Since the program began in 1894, the unit has commissioned over 1,900 second lieutenants. Locally, the Salve (SRU) group meets three days a week at 6 a.m. for PT (physical training), has academic military classes one day a week and meets for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;labâ&#x20AC;? every other week. Lab activities involve field skills like land navigation, map reading, weapons training, team building programs and first aid. Each fall, a weekend Garrison Field Training Exercise is held,

which gives cadets their first field exposure and involves land navigation, obstacle courses, leadership and reaction-timed team tasks. For many, this is their first time functioning as part of a team, which is the mainstay of Army life. Team building and learning to function as part of a whole are skills that are developed throughout the ROTC training track. The military studies courses are open to all students at all the schools. Capt. Anselm T. W. Richards, Assistant Professor of Military Science at SRU says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interested students can take any of the military courses for full college credit during their first two years of school, with no obligation whatsoever. It is a great way for them to get a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tasteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of what the military is like.â&#x20AC;? Non-ROTC students can also participate in exercises to experience life â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the field.â&#x20AC;? More than 25,000 students have taken the military science courses for credit. Most of the time, life for ROTC cadets is pretty much the same as for non-ROTC students. They wear PT uniforms to exercise and cadet

uniforms to their military training classes and labs, but blend in with the rest of the student body the majority of the time. They have social events, volunteer in the community and are involved in sports and all other areas of college life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are college students first,â&#x20AC;? Wilson notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a little better organized than most at managing their time.â&#x20AC;? For the cadets, ROTC also serves as a part-time job: ll contracted students receive a monthly stipend. Some also receive full or partial merit-based scholarships, but all are on a guaranteed career track with the promise of a job upon graduation. Cramerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saber Battalion is named in honor of First Lieutenant Parker Dresser Cramer, a URI Class of 1959 graduate who died during the Vietnam War. Cramer is remembered for his dedication to the service of his fellow citizens, for his exemplary integrity and for his military service in combat. The cadet battalion motto, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowledge, Dedication and Integrity,â&#x20AC;? summarizes his attitude, his actions and his contributions. During the spring,

Each year at this time, the senior cadets get ready to graduate and receive their gold bars. Even though the newly-commissioned officers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear their uniforms to graduation ceremonies, you can pick them out of the crowd, Wilson says. Their self-confidence is readily apparent. They know they are prepared for the road ahead, and they stand just a little bit taller than their peers. During the ROTC training, they have served in managerial roles and have been challenged in ways that the average college student has not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These men and women are tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders,â&#x20AC;? Wilson says, proudly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are ready to serve.â&#x20AC;?

By Mary Weaver Newport Cooks! There are few things that give me more enjoyment in the warmer months than being aboard a boat in Narragansett Bay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any boat, really, but I do lean toward classic lines and enough cockpit space for a friend or two, and a modest, yet elegant spread of delicious hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; oeuvres and drinks. Following close behind are tailgate parties at polo matches and picnics on the beach or at Ft. Adams. Over the years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found these simple pleasures are made all the more pleasant with a few tried-and-true tricks. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve consulted yacht logistics expert Chef Christy Erickson-Prior, who, for over 15 years, has had to provision, pack, prepare and assemble delicious gourmet foods, often working in less than ideal conditions at sea and/or in tiny quarters. So, when you get a last-minute invitation to â&#x20AC;&#x153;meet me at the boat at 5:30â&#x20AC;? or a call to â&#x20AC;&#x153;join us at the polo field at 4,â&#x20AC;? instead of feeling stressed, wondering what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring, you can feel confident that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll arrive in grand style with gourmet delights in hand. Assembling an attractive outdoor picnic, tailgate or on-board cocktail & hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; oeuvres party is easy with a bit of pre-planning. First and foremost, always have your picnic basket or canvas bag packed with the essentials. I use my grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old wicker basket with a built-in pie shelf and always have it stocked with acrylic wine glasses, attractive paper plates and cocktail napkins, plastic cutlery, a corkscrew, paring knife, small cutting board, a tea towel that doubles as a tablecloth on top of the picnic basket, a trash bag and snappy melamine serving plates. Each time I bring the basket home from a picnic, I restock it so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wonder as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running out the door to catch the Oldport launch, if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve remembered the corkscrew. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a picnic basket, there is an amazing array of old-fashioned baskets and stylish insulated canvas bags available online â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some pre-stocked, others that you stock yourself. Chef Christy led me to the nicest collection Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found: the Sutherland Collectionâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;available online at www. outdora.com. In regard to what goes into the picnic basket, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chef Christyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise. Her years of experience cooking aboard yachts and often having to prepare elaborate meals & hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; oeuvres with little notice, have given her a skill-set that is invaluable to every picnic host or hostess. Here she shares one of her favorite go-to boat and picnic items that is versatile, packed with protein and is easy to make ahead.

Quinoa is readily available in most grocery stores in the Natural/ Organic section and oftentimes in the mainstream grains/rice aisle.

Cook until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add quinoa and stir, lightly toasting, about 2 minutes. Add white wine to hot mixture, reduce wine to half, burning off alcohol. Add chicken stock, cover with lid. Cook 10 minutes. Add bell pepper. Finish cooking, about 10 more minutes. Stock should be absorbed and the grains tender. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Quinoa can be served hot, as a side dish, or cold with a salad. It is a whole grain that is naturally high in protein and fiber. By adding different vegetables or even pesto, quinoa will take on the flavors you love most.

Chef Christyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip for an easy and elegant way to serve quinoa: 8 Belgian endive, bottoms cut off, leaves separated 4 oz. spreadable low- fat cream cheese Spread small amount of cream cheese on individual endive leaves. Spoon in chilled quinoa. Arrange on platter.

FROM THE GARDEN Planting to Attract Butterflies, Hummingbirds By Cynthia Gibson Every spring brings new plants to choose from, and this spring brings to the garden its share of great new flowers and plants to attract hummingbirds and butterflies to the garden. Gardeners typically select plants and flowers for color, height and shape, but there are many plants and flowers that are often overlooked that attract other forms of nature. A hummingbird garden is created with specific flowers and shrubs that attract them to your garden. The choice of plants, shrubs and flowers is abundant. First, you want to select a sunny site where you can watch the lovely wing-powered tiny turbines feeding. Hummingbirds do not have a great sense of smell, but they have a very particular sense of color. They love all flowers that have a trumpet shape. This is because their long pointed beaks are perfect for this shape of flower. The bright shades of red, yellow and orange are their favorite colors. The number one flower for the hummingbird garden is trumpet vine. The vine, Campsis radicans, is a vigorous climber and grows best on a wall or over a trellis. It can be a bit invasive, so watch for its new growth and dig up new sprouts immediately. Trumpet vine is a very showy vine with trumpet-shaped flowers that look as if they are made of wax. The vine comes in a lovely deep red, bright orange and yellow. All of these colors are hummingbird bait and surely their favorite source of nectar. Another great flower for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hummersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is bee balm, also known as monarda or bergamot. Bee balm comes in a vast assortment of colors: Red, fuchsia, deep purple, pure white, lavender, and deep blue. Again, each small petal has the shape of a small trumpet. These flowers are very pretty, sturdy and look like water fountains. They are wonderful additions to any flowerbed or cutting garden. There seems to be a new color appearing every spring. Check out the special as-

Trumpet vine comes in a deep red, bright orange and yellow. All of these colors attract hummingbirds. In Concert

sortment at Moore Blooms located in Middletown at 577 Green End Avenue. Bee balm can grow to two and a half feet or taller. The plant is non-invasive and it is classified as an herb. Besides being a favorite of hummingbirds, the leaves make a delightful tea. The unique shape of the honeysuckle flower is attractive to hummingbirds. The wild variety has a great fragrance, but hummers love the hybrids that have no fragrance at all. The wild version of honeysuckle looks like two trumpets gone awry. The colors of honeysuckle fit right into the hummingbird palette. Not only do they come in shades of pink and yellow, a large hybrid named Blanche Sandman is a striking yellow and reddishpink combination that has a very long trumpet. Honeysuckle needs a trellis or arch to grow on. Many people will casually plant the vines amongst shrubs and trees, but the twining vines can cause crowding problems in the future. It is best to plant them on an arch or against a wall or fence. The list of hummingbird-attracting flowers is quite long, so here is a partial list of no-fail flowers for humming â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;birdersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: delphinium, hollyhocks, rose of Sharon, lantana and buddleia. Plant these gems and enjoy the hum of these tiny miraculous creatures. You will also enjoy the new flowers and vines you have planted. The butterfly garden does not need trellises, walls or arches. This is a fun garden to plant. Once again, the production of nectar is the goal of the butterfly garden. Simple annuals which continue to bloom all summer long are some of the flowers you want to plant to attract butterflies. These annual flowers are French marigolds, nasturtium, petunia and annual asters.

A perennial-based butterfly garden will include daylilies, gay feather, hollyhocks, sedum, yarrow, heliotrope and many varieties of coneflower. What these flowers have in common is a large or flat shaped landing pad for the butterfly. All of the flowers mentioned like full sun. By planting these flowers, you are not only providing continuous nectar to feed the butterflies, you are helping to create a butterfly habitat. All of these perennials are strong,

sturdy plants. Butterflies do not like wind, and will lay their eggs where they will be sheltered it. They are as delicate as they look. Also, keep your eyes peeled for the annual spring Monarch butterfly migration. Their magnificent black wings with orange markings and white spots make the Monarch butterfly highly identifiable. The Monarch butterfly is due in our backyards soon. The chilly spring has hampered their northern migration, but they are on their way. Both of these types of gardens bring joy to children and adults alike. Not only do you increase your knowledge about plant material, you learn more about a specific bird, its feeding habits and the life of the butterfly. Nature on most fronts is spectacular. It is simply magical to have these â&#x20AC;&#x153;comings and goingsâ&#x20AC;? in your own backyard.

Butterfly Garden Tips

n Plant in clusters and not

singles. n Your garden should get a minimum of six hours of sun exposure. n Butterflies respond well to purple, yellow and red flowers. n Place a basking rock in a sunny area of the garden. nâ&#x20AC;&#x201A; Butterflies love decomposing fruit, sliced watermelon and mud.

Butterfly Garden Plants A well-balanced butterfly garden has both host and nectar plants n Good host plants for your garden should include: snapdragons, hollyhocks, plantain, cheese weed, sunflowers, nasturtiums, Shasta daisies and milkweed. n Good nectar plants for your garden should include: lantana, butterfly bush, cosmos, aster, purple coneflower, zinnias and lavender. n Simple annuals which continue to bloom all summer long are some of the flowers you want to plant to attract butterflies. These annual flowers are French marigolds, nasturtium, petunia and annual asters.

Grab Your Leash! WHAT: The Potter League’s 22nd annual Heart & Sole Walk WHERE: Glen Farm, Portsmouth WHEN: June 5, Check-in at 10 a.m.; walk at noon WHAT ELSE: Children’s activities, information booths, agility events for dogs COST: $15 or $30 for families

Walk to Benefit Potter League Take your dog for a walk – and help raise money for the Potter League at the same time. On Sunday, June 5, the League will hold its 22nd annual Heart & Sole Walk for the Animals at Glen Park, Portsmouth. The goal for this year’s Walk is to raise $82,000, which will directly benefit the shelter animals at Potter. Participants are encouraged to collect pledges to earn prizes: Those who raise $75 will receive a limited-edition tee shirt. People can participate with or without their dogs, or they can walk in honor or in memory of their cats or other favorite pet, or they can form a “pack” with friends or family members. This year the Walk will feature a first-ever Team Challenge. Local schools, health clubs, hospitality and technology businesses are invited to form teams and compete. Registration is available online at www.PotterLeague.org or by mail or in person at the Potter League. Check-in starts at 10:00 a.m., and

the Walk begins at 12 noon. Morning festivities include a one- or three-mile walk, obedience training demonstrations, a dog obstacle course, agility and Rally-O events, children’s activity tent, feline “furtography” contest and other pet contests. Information tables will be manned by Potter League staff, volunteers and sponsors. Refreshments and lunch will be available at the park the day of the walk. The Heart & Sole Walk for the Animals is free to those who preregister by June 3 and raise pledges. The registration fee is $15 ($30 for families) for those who do not pre-register by June 3. For more information visit, www. PotterLeague.org. Participants can register online and create their own personalized fundraising page to collect pledges, or download a registration form and sponsor sheet. To receive a brochure by mail, call Susan at 846-0592, ext. 125, or visit the shelter at 87 Oliphant Lane in Middletown.

“Chowdahead Club” Members To Be VIPs at Cook-Off One of the most anticipated food events of the summer – the Great Chowder Cook-Off – takes place Saturday, June 4 at the Newport Yachting Center on the waterfront in downtown Newport. To celebrate its 30th Anniversary, the Chowder Cook-Off invites the ultimate “Chowda” fans to join its new Chowdahead Club to enjoy an early, all-access experience at the chowderfest this year. By purchasing a $50 Chowdahead Club ticket, “chowdaheads” avoid waiting in lines and get exclusive access to the festival’s “Chowder Power Hour” at 11 a.m. – one hour before the gates officially open at noon. (The event continues until 6 p.m.)

They can meet the chefs, taste all of their creations, and receive a Chowder Swag Bag with an official T shirt, a custom cocktail and other fun goodies. “For years, our Chowder attendees have expressed interest in a more intimate setting to meet the chefs and taste the chowders,” said Mike Martin, Director of the Newport Waterfront Events. “Well, the fans spoke, and we listened. This premium ticket, available in limited quantity, guarantees Chowdahead Club members will benefit from a separate VIP entrance away from the lines and enjoy an hour’s head start on all the festivities and chowder sampling.”

NATURE Migration Speeds Up, Finally By Jack Kelly

Migration Report

Local birdwatchers have seen their patience and perseverance greatly rewarded in the past week. The spring migration season has been off to a slow start due to cool temperatures and weather conditions. However, this past week offered a plethora of avian sightings in many varied habitats. Miantonomi Park was one of the truly hot spots of activity over the past few days with the appearance of a multitude of song birds. Birders were amazed by the variety of species available for viewing. These small birds make migratory journeys that cover thousands of miles. According to experienced observers, we are approaching the height of migration in the next week to ten days. The best times to view this magnificent display of nature’s beauty and complexity, are early mornings from approximately 6:30 a.m. until about 9:30 a.m. and early evenings after 5:30 p.m. Experienced birders are always out during these times, and most are glad to share their expertise and knowledge with others, especially those just beginning. The local marshes, ponds, and beaches have also been very active with many varied species of wading birds, shore birds, and songbirds represented. At the present time Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets and other wading birds are preparing for mating and nesting in the area. Both egret species are displaying breeding plumes and others signs of mating intent. Great Blue Herons and Glossy Ibises have been prevalent in a number of areas. The best time to observe in the marshes is during lower tides in the early morning or late afternoon to early evening. The marsh behind the Third Beach parking lot has been fairly active in the past few days. There are no set boundaries, and you may find encounters with birds just about anywhere. There are many programs available for those who would like to begin to foster a relationship with nature. The Audubon Society of Rhode Island and the Norman Bird Sanctuary offer walks and programs that can lead to years of enjoyment for individuals. It is also a wonderful gift to give to your children or grandchildren.

High “Noon” for Rogers Nine – Vikings Fall to Prout’s Ace The Prout School Rogers High School

9 1 Photos by Rob Thorn

The Rogers High School baseball team’s 2-game win streak came to an end on Monday, when Division II-South leader, Prout, beat the Vikings 9-1, behind an eight strikeout performance by Crusader senior pitcher, Jay Noon.

Rogers starting pitcher, senior Derek Butler, deserved a better fate, as his teammates garnered only three hits and committed four errors behind him on a wet and dreary afternoon at Cardines Field. Viking junior, Colin Chase

had two of those hits, including an RBI double in the first inning. Catcher, Mike O’Connell added a single later for the only other Viking hit. With the victory, Prout upped its season record to 14-2, while, Rogers dropped to 4-12.

Viking left fielder, Shaun Moore, #14 (above), almost over slides second base due to the muddy infield. Moore reached back for the bag, beating the tag of Crusader second baseman, Andrew Horsfield.

Rogers senior starting pitcher, Derek Butler, #23 (left), lets loose with a fastball in the first inning against Prout. Butler pitched well, despite another rainy day loss.

Cutlass Takes Inaugural Atlantic Cup Round Robin Tennis Let’s Move It! Wellness Program at Spring sailing season took on a decidedly competitive look last week with the 2011 Atlantic Cup. The event, which was split between an offshore sprint from New York to Newport and a two-day in-shore series, aimed at bringing professional purse racing into the public eye. After placing second to team Dragon’s first place offshore leg, Cutlass/11th Hour Racing dominated the weekend’s buoy racing to seal the overall victory and a $15,000 prize. Sailed by Nick Halmos and Rob MacMillan, Team 11th Hour swept to victory under cloudy skies an light winds on Sunday, besting Dragon with a final score of 10-21. They were followed by Team Toothface in the third spot, and Team Icarus in fourth.

Jeremy Pochman of 11th Hour Racing awarded the 2nd and 3rd place checks to Teams Dragon and Toothface and Jerry Cahill from the Boomer Esiason Foundation awarded the $7,000 first place check to Team Cutlass. $5,000 went to second place Team Dragon and $3,000 to third place finisher Team Toothface. Teams Dragon and Toothface announced that they would donate 10 percent of their prize money to the Boomer Esiason Foundation, whose mission is to find a cure for cystic fibrosis. Race organizers did a commendable job in providing plenty of onwater coverage at their Web site, www.AtlanticCup.org.
