Not to worry! Bad as this photo looks, it’s really nothing more than a little Hollywood magic-making. The production crew filming Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom” constructed a fullsized steeple to use as a prop in a scene they shot Wednesday at Trinity Church. The vintage Volkswagen Beetle was the only casualty as the movie-makers caught the attention of passersby. For more on Newport’s star turn, see the story on page 2. (Photo by Laurie Warner)

In a stunning turn of events, Weaver’s Cove Energy and Hess LNG announced Monday that they have dropped plans to build a controversial liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Fall River’s Mount Hope Bay. For years, eyed as a new entry point into the New England natural gas market, the Weaver’s Cove plan had been widely opposed by local, state and federal lawmakers, in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts, as well as a plethora of environmental groups and business organizations. The announcement was made in a press release Monday afternoon. Citing “unfavorable economics for liquefied natural gas in the New England region,” the companies said that they had withdrawn their applications with federal and state agencies in order to “focus… efforts on more viable projects elsewhere.” “The significant increase in nat-

Healthcare Newport Flower Show to Blossom on Bellevue Concerns Voiced By Pat Blakeley

We’ve all seen the ads, we’ve all heard the buzz, and we’ve all noticed the frenzy of activity on Bellevue Avenue. Now, we all just need to keep our fingers crossed that the sun will shine June 24-26 on the Newport Flower Show. The annual kickoff to the Newport summer season is a fete that draws the social elite and gardening enthusiasts, alike. This year’s theme, “Entertaining – Newport Style,” embraces the grace and sophistication that has elevated entertaining in Newport to an art form. Rosecliff, which hosted some of Newport’s most fabulous Gilded Age parties, will once again be the epicenter of elegance. The event promises to be an exceptional treat. The legendary Blue Garden of Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James’ estate, Beacon Hill, will be re-created on the front lawn of Rosecliff. The garden, (by Bartlett’s Tree Experts and Catherine Weaver of Tupelo Gardenworks Ltd.) will greet the thousands of visitors with waves of blue, capturing the vivid hues of the ocean that draws millions to Newport every year. A series of pavilions and gardens, designed to showcase outdoor entertaining; themed floral exhibits highlighting Newport’s history of entertaining; horticultural entries; garden designs; and photography will be staged throughout Rosecliff’s elegant reception rooms, its oceanfront terrace and lawn. Guests at the much-anticipated Opening Night Cocktail Party, Friday, June 24 at 6 p.m., will enjoy a lavish cocktail buffet, live music and other exciting surprises, as well as floral designs, garden displays and unique shopping. The show offers many opportunities to learn from the masters – both in the gardening world and entertainment circles. Arborists will lead estate tree tours, gardening experts will offer tips on horticultural design, and event design-

The legendary Blue Gardens designed for Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James in 1913, will be re-created for the Newport Flower Show. ers will share insight into creating the perfect setting for lifestyle entertaining. Special lecturers include celebrities Sylvia Weinstock, America’s “Queen of Cake,” who will share how she integrates flowers into her cake art, and international floral consultant Kevin Ylvisaker. Savvy shoppers, looking for just the perfect gift or garden accent, will find many treasures in the Oceanside Boutiques and Gardener’s Marketplace. International and domestic vendors, many back by popular demand, offer a bountiful display of merchandise for the discriminating buyer. Plants of all types and sizes will also be available to help transform your own estate garden. Last summer, hordes of garden clubs from all over New England headed to Bellevue for the show’s lessons, lectures and shopping. They

were not disappointed. Scores of women in their jaunty hats sauntered into the show carrying smart canvas and straw bags, and staggered out clutching huge shopping bags filled with marketplace treats. As one lady exclaimed, peeking around her gigantic fern, “Now, this is summer!” Don your hats, slip on your summer flats and head to Bellevue for a taste of elegant entertaining - Newport style! The Newport Flower Show will be open to the public 10:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday, June 24, and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, June 25 and 26. Advance sale and Preservation Society member admission tickets are $17. Door tickets will be $25 on Friday, $23 on Saturday or Sunday. Opening Night Gala tickets, Friday, June 24, 6 p.m., are $165.

The cost of healthcare was the most common topic raised by local residents who attended a community dinner hosted by U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse D-RI, last Sunday, in Middletown. The economy and education were the other topics of concern. About 150 people came to the event, held at J.H. Gaudet Middle School, and wove their way through the school’s cafeteria line for a free pasta and salad dinner before settling in around lunchroom tables to hear what the junior senator from Rhode Island had to say, and to speak up themselves. “What can you do, and what can we do about the cost of prescription drugs?” asked one gentleman, who described a medication he has taken for 15 years that recently went from 10 cents per pill to 90 cents per pill. Another attendee asked about health insurance, which she has not been able to afford, as she is too young for Medicare, and does not meet the low-income requirements of Medicaid. “There are some months where I can’t afford to buy the prescriptions I need,” she said. Healthcare cost concerns raised by other attendees centered around Medicare, with questions regarding whether the government would run out of money to pay for Medi-

AROUND TOWN Storm Brews, Stars Come Out as ‘Moonrise’ Films at Trinity By Katherine Imbrie Strange things were happening at Trinity Church earlier this week, as the film crew for the Wes Anderson feature film, Moonrise Kingdom, set up for a couple of days of filming scenes inside and outside of the church. Along with Anderson, other Hollywood stars sighted near the church on Wednesday were Bruce Willis, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Harvey Keitel, Edward Norton and Bob Balaban. By mid-morning, passersby on Spring Street appeared intrigued by the startling sight of a black, vintage Volkswagen bug squashed like – well, a bug – beneath a steeple that had apparently fallen from the top of historic Trinity Church. Not to

worry! The real steeple is intact; the one sitting on the Volkswagen was only a prop. Also part of the scenesetting were tree branches strewn around as if blown down in a storm, dozens of sand bags propped against the side of the church as if to prevent flooding, and a busful of extras costumed as Boy Scouts. Federico Santi (the owner of The Drawing Room antiques directly across Spring Street from the church) has a close-up view of all the goings-on at Trinity. “It was startling to look out and see what looked like the steeple knocked off the church this morning,� he said, “but it will be even more startling when we see our historic Trinity blasted by lightning in the movie!� According to what Santi has

heard, there will be filming inside the church again next week as the crew simulates lightning strikes demolishing the steeple. He adds that the filming appears to be going smoothly and on schedule: “According to everyone I’ve talked to who has been working with the production crew, they are very kind and nice to work with. Myself, I had someone come into my shop from the prop department, desperately looking for a set of 1970s high-end mahogany speakers. I didn’t have any, but I sent him down to the shop on Broadway that fixes VCRs in case they had anything like that.� What does it all add up to? We’ll just have to wait till the movie comes out to find out.

Wind and Weather Make for An Historic Regatta

Ken Read, of Newport, skipper of Puma Ocean Racing’s Volvo Open 70 mar mostro (Photo by Laurie Warner) With 135 boats competing, the New York Yacht Club’s 157th Annual Regatta presented by Rolex, held June 10-12, broke all of its past attendance records, and with winds whipping into the high teens for buoy racing over the weekend, it certainly is in line for being the most memorable Annual Regatta in recent history. “It was bloody hard work,” said Ken Read (Newport), skipper of Puma Ocean Racing’s Volvo Open 70 mar mostro, which beat out Dan Meyers’ (Boston, Mass.) JV 66 Numbers in IRC 1 class, “but anytime you have good breeze and gnarly conditons you feel like you actually accomplished something.” Read’s reference to gnarly could have been to several outbursts of rain, but that didn’t deter the hardy if decidedly damp sailors from the task at hand. He noted that his crew is the same that will participate in the upcoming Volvo Ocean Race

and the Transatlantic Race 2011. “We are set up to go offshore right now with the same 10 guys,” he said, “but we have an inshore component for the Volvo, so we have to practice and this was one of those times. To say we were stunned to win is an understatement; we never for a minute thought that we’d do so well against these other top IRC boats. Our rating isn’t as bad as we thought; the boat is going darn good; and the crew is exceptional–without those three things it wouldn’t have been the same.” Mike McCaffrey (Newport) represented a brilliant demonstration of boat handling when he won all but one of the Hereshoff S class’s five races aboard Osprey. “After 20 years, you kind of get the hang of it,” he said, referring to the fact that he, like others in his class, lovingly restored this classic design that is 27 feet, distinguished by a boom extending beyond the transom, and

has 426 sq. feet of sail area. It is also the oldest one-design class still actively racing and sailing in its original boats. “It was tough out there for this powerful little day sailer with such a big main. Ten to twelve knots is the groove for an S Boat, so the 16-18 was a challenge.” Teams winning all but one of their races were mar mostro; Stephen Devoe’s (Jamestown) Swan 45 Devocean in IRC 3; Joe Loughborough’s (Newport.) Luders 24 Belle in 6 Metre class; Dennis Williams’ (Hobe Sound, Fla.) Victory 83 in the 12 Metre class. Other local winners included: Joseph Dockery (Newport) CLASSICS (SPINNAKER); Jonathan Loughborough (Newport) and Jed Pearsall (Newport) 6 METRE; Mike Ryan/ Richard Barker (Newport) PHRF 2; Jim Lengel (Portsmouth) and Gordon McNabb (Middletown) PHRFNON-SPINNAKER; Charles Milligan (Newport) IRC 5.

HEALTHCARE CONT. FROM PG. 1 care, and what can be done about fraud. “Whether it’s Medicare, an employer’s healthcare insurance, or an individual who is paying—the real problem is the cost rocket of medical costs,” said Senator Whitehouse. He described several ways to fix rising costs, including better prevention, more advanced electronic recordkeeping of health-related information, paying doctors for “value rather than volume,” and ending the “war” between insurance companies and doctors/hospitals. “One of my top priorities is to pursue those goals,” he said. Senator Whitehouse also told the audience that Medicare and Medicaid should be able to negotiate prescription costs with pharmaceutical companies, a statement that was met with applause. Concerns about education and the economy were also voiced by attendees, who referenced the state’s difficulties in meeting ed-

ucational needs, questioned the need to raise the U.S. debt limit, and asked whether there were any ways to encourage a stronger real estate market. Senator Whitehouse expressed the opinion that many real estate problems are exacerbated by incompetence on the part of banks, who are proceeding with mortgage and foreclosure decisions in an incoherent way. His opening remarks at the community dinner had spoken to economic concerns. “In this economy

lots of bad things happen to good people, and a big part of my job is constituent help, whether it’s helping you avoid foreclosure, get a mortgage, or deal with unemployment benefits,” he said, encouraging people to contact his office in Providence for help. “My number one job is to try to improve the economy here in Rhode Island,” he said, describing three ways he is working toward that goal: ending tax benefits for companies that send jobs overseas; investing in clean energy; and investing in infrastructure. “We need a balanced solution—it can’t be all cutting, and it can’t be all investing in future growth—it’s got to be both,” he said. Senator Whitehouse, a Democrat, has been holding community dinners around the state since February 2007, one month after taking office. His website is whitehouse. senate.gov; his phone number is 401-453-5294.

Hey Federico was wondering if you could take a look at these antique bookends and tell me what I’ve got. They belonged to my great grandfather and used to sit on his desk at work and have found their way to me. Really dig them and would also really dig some info on them They both have the inscription ARTUS carved into them at the round base of each statue. — Keith D. Keith: Artus is the artist; first initial L. Probably French. Circa 1920’s; appear to be nickel plated hollow cast tin alloy. The Foundry was probably Le Verrier. The birds are Marabouts. Artus also designed hood ornaments and this form could have been used on the hood of a car. Hard to pin down a value, but at a good Art Deco or Arts & Crafts auction they should bring between $500 and $750.

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

Youth Recognized For Service

Last year more than 2,000 drunk students received death certificates instead of diplomas.

The youth groups of St. Columba’s Church, Middletown and Trinity Church, Newport were recently honored by the East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP) at its 2011 Public Service Award Gala held at Castle Hill Inn and Resort. Specifically, the youth groups were recognized with Vision Awards for providing Christmas gifts to children and teens from needy families though EBCAP’s Clinical Services for Youth. This past year they held extra events to raise funds for additional gifts for the teens. Rhode Island Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth H. Roberts also received the 2011 EBCAP Public Service Award.

EDITORIAL Let’s Pave Spring (or Thames) Comprised of stakeholders, including representatives from City Hall as well as downtown business owners, the city’s newest ad-hoc working group, the Thames Street Enhancement Group, met for the first time last week. Their aim? To guide the redevelopment of a small section of Lower Thames Street, currently being eyed for roadway and sidewalk improvements. And while the city continues to press along with an aggressive street repaving program, with an estimated $3 million in local, state, and federal funds, to be spent in the coming year, there’s no way around it: So long as Thames Street, Lower Broadway, and Spring Street remain unimproved, the perception will remain that our roads are impassible. It’s been roughly six years since the council pledged to repave one of our main downtown arteries. Unfortunately, larger problems always seemed to have interceded. With summer visitors once again taking to Newport’s streets and sidewalks, some will inevitably leave with the impression of a downtown in disrepair. City Council members have taken a positive step in engaging the community in the pilot project on Lower Thames Street. We would encourage them to set into motion a similar effort in tackling an even larger project: the complete resurfacing of either Thames or Spring streets. Finally, addressing these two roadways will not only placate the businesses and residents who line these aging roads, but will also send a message to the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come here, attracted by our international brand, that Newport is truly a world-class destination. .

In Second Term, Waluk is a New Mayor By Tom Shevlin The double door to the council chamber swings open a few minutes before 6:30 on a recent Wednesday evening. Like clockwork, Mayor Stephen C. Waluk breezes in. He sees a familiar face in the crowd, smiles, waves, and moves to the center seat on the dais. It’s a heavy docket on this night – the council is preparing to vote on a $130 million operating budget that will guide the city through the approaching fiscal year. But Waluk, wearing a starched white oxford shirt and tie, is in his element. He sets to work; the meeting is called to order. Chosen by his fellow council members to serve as chair during an, at-times, tense campaign following last November’s election, Waluk has once again settled into his position in the center seat, pushing forward a results-driven agenda, intent on laying to rest some of the past decade’s most well-known projects and lingering conversations. It’s the second time he has been tapped to run the council meetings and act as the titular head of the city. At 32, he’s older than he was in his first term, when in 2007, he became the youngest mayor in Newport’s nearly 400 year history. He’s also a bit softer. Early on in his second term, Waluk reflected on his mayoral second act. “It’s funny,” he says, “I really don’t feel like I’m not going to make rookie mistakes anymore.” “I remember when I first became mayor in ‘07, the one thing I immediately noticed, was that until you’re in that middle seat, you don’t know what it’s like… When someone comes to speak before the council, they don’t look around to other councilors, they’re looking at you.” In the past, that dynamic proved problematic for the young mayor. On more than one occasion, Waluk found himself at a loss for tact. Indeed, some would call his style brash, overbearing, or curt. An adept politician who can chat up a group of senior citizens, just as well as he can talk baseball with friends, Waluk tended during his first mayoralty to wield a sharp tongue during council meetings. It was something not lost on voters. Following his first two years as mayor, Waluk nearly lost reelection in 2008, ceding the chair’s position to top vote-getter and longtime Councilor Jeanne Marie Napolitano. For the better part of 2009, Waluk receded to the sidelines. But in 2010, he was resurgent, swept back into office as the council’s second highest vote-getter. Within a matter of weeks, he would secure the four council votes necessary to

take back that center seat. It was an emotionally charged campaign for both Waluk and Napolitano, who had once again received more votes than any other candidate. Some believe Napolitano should have been given another term. Waluk is keenly aware of the criticisms. “I didn’t get to be mayor because I’m a lovable guy,” he says. Rather, he points to his ability to work with different members of the council on a range of issues, building bridges based on common interest and moving those agendas forward. There is simply no other member of the council who speaks with their counterparts as much as Waluk. Quick to pick up the phone, respond to a text, or send an email, he is in almost daily contact with his fellow councilors. It’s something he makes an effort to do. He’s also been working on his showmanship. Since assuming the gavel in January, Waluk has been a near constant presence at ribbon cuttings, cultural exchanges and fundraisers. He still retains his edge, his gift for one-liners, and his political savvy. But he is tempered. On Monday, he spent lunch entertaining a group of garden club members from Kinsale, Ireland on the back patio of La Forge Casino Restaurant. He now makes a point to take occasional afternoons off from work in Providence in order to attend to ceremonial and good-will events – something Napolitano did with vigor during her two years as mayor. “Being out for two years,” as he calls it, has given him a different perspective on things. “I think I have more of a sense of urgency now,” he says. Moving forward, he wants the city to focus on completing “tangible projects,” projects like cleaning up Easton’s Beach, completing the long-planned Harbor Center, reopening King Park to swimming, and improving the quality of the city’s drinking water. Through the council’s recent strategic planning sessions, Waluk says that the group has found more common ground on issues than they knew existed.

“It’s been productive,” he says. There’s a certain blunt reality that comes with being on the council these days. Revenues are not keeping up with expenses, and state and federal aid is being cut back. On Wednesday, Waluk joined with the other six members of the council in approving a $130 million budget for the next fiscal year. Included in it is a 3.8 percent property tax increase, paired with layoffs in both the School Department and at City Hall. During his remarks prior to voting on the budget, Waluk made a point to single out what he believes is one of the most crippling debates facing the city. “The reality is, we don’t have a fire contract that works for the city,” he said. If there has been a defining issue for Waluk, it has been his fervent stance against the city’s fire fighter contract. Without a contract since 2005, the city is currently in court defending a unilateral decision to cut the department’s minimum staffing level to 17-man shifts. Waluk’s decision to push for the cuts, he says, is purely financial. “It’s not personal,” he says. Except that it many ways, it is. Growing up in the Fifth Ward, Waluk is no stranger to the fire department, or its union. His grandfather was chief, and he still has family on the force. Yet, during last November’s election, the city’s local fire union distributed fliers and actively campaigned outside of polling places against his reelection. It wasn’t enough to unseat the four-term council member, but he concedes that he probably lost more than a few votes because of it. The head of the fire union has said that his organization was prepared to settle on a contract last summer, but the council refused. Waluk says that he’s holding out for the best deal for the city. A union member himself, Waluk works for the state as a policy analyst for the House Minority Office. Through that station, he says, he is able to bring a broader perspective to his role as mayor. “You get to see the positive things other communities are doing, as well as some of the challenges they’re facing,” Waluk says, adding, “We’re unique in terms of our assets, but we’re not unique in our problems.” And while he may be willing to wait when it comes to Newport’s fire fighter contract, in nearly every other respect, he’s of the mind that it’s time to move the city forward. “Before, I would [be content to] wait on stuff,” he says. “Now I’m pushing it, and I think the rest of the council also is saying, ‘Let’s get things done.”

LNG CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 ural gas production from shale resources in North America resulting in lower prices as well as the growth in demand for LNG in the rest of the world make it unlikely the company can secure supplies of LNG on economic terms attractive enough to ensure the sustained profitability of the project,” said Gordon Shearer, President of Hess LNG. Shearer’s announcement was welcome news from all corners. “This is a great day for Mount Hope Bay, Narragansett Bay and the communities that value and defend these great natural treasures,” said Jonathan Stone, executive director of Save The Bay. Stone noted that, while Hess cited unfavorable economics for its decision, “the project was always a bad idea for the Bay. That’s why Save The Bay fought this all the way. We reject the notion that Narragansett Bay has to be sacrificed in the pursuit of energy security.” “Over the past decade, Mount Hope Bay has been pulled back from the brink. Raw sewage discharges are being controlled by Fall River. Thermal pollution from the Brayton Point power plant is being curtailed,” added Stone. “With Hess withdrawing its LNG plan, we can now turn to the business of restoring the health of the Taunton River and Mount Hope Bay. There is still a lot of work to do.” Newport Mayor Stephen C.

Waluk also praised the decision. As a sponsor of the council’s first public resolution opposing the transport of LNG through Narragansett Bay, Waluk said that he was excited when he heard the news. “We as a city have been consistently opposed to LNG terminals

for almost a decade,” he said, adding, “But we need to remain vigilant as other proposals could also come forward.” Citing the potential impact LNG tankers could have on the city’s local sailing and boating industry, traffic disruptions from having to close the Newport Pell Bridge, and the “potential catastrophic impact” that could result should an accident occur, Waluk said that the costs of LNG “clearly outweighed” the benefits. U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who is also a Newport resident and sailor, also hailed the decision. “Today’s announcement that this project will not go forward is a win for our environment, our tourism industry, our safety, and all the community leaders who have worked

With the end of the school year less than two weeks away, the Newport School Committee met on Tuesday, June 14, to wrap up loose ends on a loaded agenda highlighted by an awards ceremony recognizing students who earned high marks in state and national competitions. Principal Patricia DiCenso and Skills USA Advisor Colleen Murray presented awards from the Newport Area Career and Technical Center to Rogers High School students who recently competed in a Skills USA competition. Supervisor of the Arts Alan Bernstein presented music awards to students who had participated in the state’s All-State Ensembles. The Thompson Middle School music department was also recognized for the awards they received at the Great East Music Festival at Six Flags in Agawam, Mass., last month. Congratulations to a very talented group of students in Newport!

with us to oppose this plan over the years,” Whitehouse said in a statement. As chairman of the Aquidneck Island Planning Commission in the early days of the LNG proposal, Newport Rep. Peter Martin had also been an opponent of the plan. “It is great to have this threat ended,” Martin said in an e-mail, adding, “I wish Mr. Shearer and his cohorts best wishes in their future endeavors - far from the Narragansett Bay.” Hess LNG retains ownership of the Fall River site and will consider options for the site, including a sale. The City of Fall River is reportedly considering purchasing the land from the company. With the end of the school year less than two weeks away, the Newport School Committee met on Tuesday, June 14, in their regularly scheduled monthly meeting, to wrap up loose ends on a loaded agenda, highlighted by an awards ceremony recognizing students who earned high marks in state and national competitions.

To present awards to students, Principal Patricia DiCenso and Skills USA Advisor Colleen

In other business, the committee reviewed the new “Dress and Grooming” code for students, and Committee member Jo Eva Gaines commented that the revised code enforces policies already in place, “giving our kids a sense of appropriateness,” but stopping short of requiring uniforms. Superintendent John Ambrogi discussed the transition of students from the Sullivan School to the Triplett School during the two years that construction on the Pell School will be underway. Updates to the Triplett School, including bringing the sprinkler system up to code by the Newport Fire Department were discussed. Ambrogi thanked the NFD, for allowing the use of PVC piping to be used, since the school will only be occupied for two years. Ambrogi and the NSC invited the public to a meeting on Thursday, June 23, at 5 p.m. at Thompson Middle School, where HMFH Architects and the Pell Building Committee, will provide an update on the building project.

In a special executive session meeting of the Newport School Committee on Thursday, June 9, an enthusiastic committee unanimously voted to approve the recommendation of Superintendent John H. Ambrogi to appoint Jaime Crowley to be the new Principal of Thompson Middle School, effective July 1. A resident of Newport, Crowley holds undergraduate and master’s degrees from Boston College and a certificate of advance study of Education from Boston University. Currently an Assistant Principal at Mt. Hope High School in Bristol, Crowley has also been actively involved as a curriculum facilitator and trainer in both the Bristol-Warren Regional School District and for the Rhode Island Department of Education. He was the Rhode Island Assistant Principal of the Year in 2010 and was also selected to the Rhode Island Milken Educator of the Year in 2010. Ambrogi stated, “We look forward to Mr. Crowley’s leadership skills and commitment to our community to enhance educational opportunities for the students who attend Thompson Middle School.”

Musical Picnics Show Art Museum’s Casual Side It’s not easy to establish a new tradition in a city as historic as Newport, a place where people’s habits and customs were set in stone centuries ago, but the Newport Art Museum’s tradition of spending summer evenings out on the museum’s lawn listening to music with friends and family has become one of the community’s most cherished pastimes. The outdoor music series began in 1994, and it is an event that makes good use of the museum’s estate-like grounds. The Griswold House is the main building of the “campus” and is a National Historic Landmark. The venerable beech trees and hydrangeas throughout the landscaping, along with lush lawns and outdoor sculptures, create a perfectly romantic setting for a little music appreciation on summer evenings. The Newport Art Museum (NAM), which occupies three buildings on Bellevue Avenue, has been the home of art and artists since 1916, although the art association itself was founded four years earlier. The museum and the artists and community members who have supported the organization for nearly a century continually strive to reach new audiences beyond the

enjoyment of fine arts alone with events that are lively, fun and open to the public. In addition to the concerts and performances, there are summer art classes for adults and youngsters, as well as a book club, murder mystery events and tire households. This season’s pick the 4th Friday “social mixers.” No reservations are required for of entertainment for outdoor music the PM Musical Picnics.

The NAM will pair with the Newport Music Festival to host two concerts with acclaimed German pianist Michael Endres, July 13 and 15. Reservations are required. Endres stop in Newport is part of a concert tour taking him from Australia and Germany, to the U.S.A. and finally finishing in New Zealand late in the year. (At michaelendres.com, you can hear selections of his work.) Picture fine oil paintings, beautiful watercolors, and all the music, and you begin to get the idea that the art museum isn’t an old, dull, and dusty place.

FROM THE GARDEN

Say, “Thanks for being there Dad”

Luscious Strawberries Herald Summer By Cynthia Gibson It is really beginning to look like summer when the ‘pick your own’ farms are opening their fields for strawberries. Strawberries are one of the first local fruit crops of summer. In supermarkets, you will see the shelves filled with boxes of berries shipped in from California, but why bother with these huge, tasteless berries when the ‘real thing’ is but miles from your home and a fun venture? However, while you are in the supermarket, you should be sure to pick up a package of ladyfingers or shortcakes to make strawberry shortcake. Another strawberry treat you will want to make is strawberry rhubarb pie. Open your windows as the shortcakes or pie are baking, and drive your neighbors wild. Or pull out your ice cream maker, and make your first strawberry sorbet of the summer. With strawberries leading the parade of pick-your-own berries right now, I really want to convince you to try making your own sorbet. There are very simple ice cream makers that cost from $35 to $75 at places like Walmart. They are really worth the small investment. The instructions for making sorbet that are included with the machines are foolproof. A recipe for berry sorbet makes approximately two pints. Sorbet stores well in the freezer, but should be eaten within two weeks of freezing. This will not be a problem!

Back to the berries: Picking your own can be a family affair or just a quick stop on your own to Sweet Berry Farm in Middletown, Quonset View Farm in Portsmouth, or Young Family Farm in Little Compton. The berries are so plentiful and

Strawberry/Rhubard Napoleons so sweet at this time of year, they are truly irresistible. The darker the berry, the sweeter the fruit. Darker simply means riper. The farms have many rows of strawberries, and once they start ripening, they do not stop, so hop in your car this week and get your fill. Since strawberries are rather large, they are very easy for children to pick, and they can fill small baskets quickly. It makes a very satisfying outing, plus it is fun to sample a berry or two. Right now, you will also find fresh garden-picked rhubarb. The pairing of berries and rhubarb is a dynamite combo of sweet and tart flavors. You will want to make individual tarts, a large pie, or just some compote to pour over vanilla ice cream. Yes, it’s summer, and strawberries have arrived! Here is a favorite recipe for freshly picked strawberries.

Strawberry/Rhubarb Napoleons

(Makes 6) Preheat oven to 375 degrees Ingredients for filling: 1 pound rhubarb, cut into quarterinch pieces, or approximately 3 cups Half cup of firmly packed light brown sugar One quarter to half a teaspoon of cinnamon. (If you like cinnamon, add the larger amount.) One pint hulled, sliced strawberries One teaspoon fresh lemon juice Dough: Purchase a box of frozen Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Sheets. You will only need to defrost one sheet. They are sold two to a box. Garnish: Powdered sugar and cinnamon whipped cream Except for the freshly picked strawberries, place all other ingredients for the filling into a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rhubarb falls apart.

Pour the rhubarb filling into a bowl, add the sliced strawberries, mix well, and let the mixture remain at room temperature. The filling can be made at least a day in advance if you refrigerate it. Just remember to let it come back to room temperature before assembling your Napoleons. Roll out the defrosted puff-paste sheet on a floured surface to approximately one eighth inch thick. Using a very sharp knife, slice the puff-paste into 18 rectangles. It will take three rectangles to construct each Napoleon. Work with the puff-paste while it is cool to the touch. Should it become the tiniest bit sticky, place it in the freezer for five minutes. This will make the paste easier to slice once again. Place the rectangles on a greased (use Pam) cookie sheet, and bake for 15 minutes on the middle oven rack. Watch the rectangles bake, as they brown quickly. Arrange your dessert plates in an assembly-line order. Place one rectangle on each plate. Spoon one-quarter cup of filling onto the rectangle. Place the second rectangle on top of the filling, and repeat for a third time. Sprinkle the assembled Napoleon with powdered sugar, and place a dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon on the side. If you desire a more luscious Napoleon, you can add a teaspoon of the whipped cream in between the layers. Ooh la la! This is not your ordinary strawberry-rhubarb pie, and it’s easier to make! This fresh strawberry delight is sure to become a summertime favorite. You can also keep things very simple by hulling and slicing your strawberries and adding a bit of sugar to allow the juices to flow from the berries. When you spoon this ‘berry delight’ over sponge cake, ladyfingers, or ice cream, you are creating a memory. If you are not a cook at all, the Mad Hatter Bakery in Newport makes killer Chocolate Strawberry Scones! Whatever you choose to do with them, picking berries on your own, or with a pal or the entire family, is a fun thing to do. Cynthia Gibson is a painter, garden and food writer.

The NewportFILM mini-series debuts with “A Matter of Taste,� more films will screen in July and August.

Mini-fests for Summer Movie Fans By Patricia Lacouture If you’ve been missing the exciting buzz of fresh independent cinema, take heart. NewportFILM will host indoor and outdoor screenings of unique films in June, July, August and September. You can get dressed up for a Friday or Saturday film “event,� provide your child with a Saturday program of inspiring and whimsical “shorts,� or pack a picnic and watch a movie under the stars. In a very real sense, NewportFILM will bring a veritable Cinema Paradiso to the city. Terri Conners, managing director of NewportFILM, calls the mini-festivals “pop-up� festivals because they are brief but sprinkled throughout the summer. The group hopes to turn the events into a year-round happening. Whittemore adds, “We want to bring film to Newport in a way that celebrates Newport’s historic locations, and we want to offer children’s films because we believe in the power of film to inspire young imaginations.� For Conners, this season’s launch could be a prelude to a long-lived film venue. “We hope to have the community follow us this summer and stay with us. The number one goal, aside from bringing fresh in-

dependent films to Newport, is to include the presence of a director, actor, film distributor—someone who really knows the film.� NewportFILM kicks off this coming Friday, June 17. Throughout the summer, a total of five outdoor screenings will offer groundbreaking films in relaxed, casual environments, and they are free. Outdoor screenings begin at sunset. Mark your calendar for Thursday, July 7 for “Life in A Day,� co-produced by Ridley Scott (“Blade Runner,� “Gladiator�) and Oscar-winner Kevin MacDonald (“The Last King of Scotland�). This film will be shown at Queen Anne Square. According to Katie Whittemore, marketing director for the summer events, the producers asked people from around the world to record their day on July 23, 2010. “Out of 80,000 entries, the film was edited to 90 minutes,� she explained. But, wait, there’s more. On July 14, the Newport Polo grounds in Portsmouth will provide the backdrop for “Buck,� a documentary about—what else?—a horse whisperer. For more information or to order tickets, go to www.newportFILM. com. Tickets will also be available at the door, as well. Stay tuned to Newport This Week and NewportNow for more in-depth coverage.

The debut of the 2011 NewportFILM season begins with “Submarine,� a tale of a teenager’s mission to reunite his parents while winning the heart of the girl of his dreams. The British comedy has been compared to Wes Anderson’s “Rushmore� and the classic “Harold and Maude.� And for something truly different: Dan Guando, The Weinstein Company’s VP of Acquisitions, will introduce the film and take questions afterwards to trace how the film caught the company’s eye and then embarked on its journey from script to screen, landing it at the Toronto Film Festival and, now, in Newport. The Saturday children’s program, targeted this month to the three to six-year-old crowd, showcases 12 “shorts,� mostly animated, with one “mixed media� included. The films were shown at the New York International Children’s Film Festival— KID FLIX MIX 2011. Films come from Slovakia, Denmark, the UK, Hungary, Latvia, Germany, Spain, Canada and the USA. Saturday evening, the adult audience can look forward to “A Matter of Taste: Serving Up Paul Liebrandt,� a documentary that explores the cutthroat New York City culinary scene and the ten-year journey of this young chef, who critics either love or hate. Filmmaker Sally Rowe will attend for the Q and A following the film. The evening films will screen at the newly-renovated Casino Theater, and the children’s program is slated to run at the Megley Theater in Salve Regina University’s Antone Academic Center, known affectionately on campus as “the black box.� Tickets for evening shows are $12 and shows with pre-film, wine reception is $20. Reception begins at 6 p.m., and screenings start at 7. Children’s program tickets are $5 for youngsters under 12 and $10 for adults. Expect cupcakes!

Museum of Newport Irish History Opens Doors A festive crowd gathered for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new Museum of Newport Irish History on Saturday, June 11, at 648 Thames Street, in the heart of the Fifth Ward. Museum President Vincent Arnold, cut the green ribbon alongside Council member and Hibernian Harry Winthrop and Newport Mayor Stephen Waluk. Before the crowds entered the museum, Waluk spoke on the importance of heritage: “In this great town it’s important that we know where we come from.� This has been a long time coming, and it’s thanks to this museum that we can celebrate where we came from.� Arnold spoke about how his vision had finally become a reality. “It’s been a 15-year process and it’s been done thanks to a lot of hard work by a lot of people from the community and local businesses, especially Holly Grosvenor, who did the displays and layouts. I have special thanks to Newport Historian Pat Murphy for all the research and hundreds of photos as well. We have so much history here that the museum will always be evolving – what you see here today and next year will be different.� The museum is open to the public, Thursdays through Sundays, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.

George Champlin Mason designed this Swissstyle chalet in 1873 as his personal residence. The house remained a single family home until 1996. It is now the Architect’s Inn B&B.

A Father’s Day Tribute to George Champlin Mason For much of the history of architecture, the skill of building design was passed from father to son. Perhaps this upcoming Father’s Day is an ideal time to remember the contributions of a father and son duo who had an enormous impact on Newport architecture during the Victorian era: George Champlin Mason and his son, George, Jr. So closely aligned were these two individuals, that there is occasionally a debate among architectural historians as to which works belong to each and which works were a collaboration of the two. George Champlin Mason was a leading intellectual light of Newport and Rhode Island in the 19th century, and not just as an architect. He was a journalist, a landscape painter and an historian who was among the earliest to show an interest in the Colonial architectural heritage of Newport. He was among the founders of the Rhode Island chapter of the American Institute of Architects and a founder of the Newport Historical Society. Ron Ross Onorato, author of the AIA Guide CANN to Newport, credits Mason as being one of the early proponents of the Colonial Revival style. Mason Senior worked in the period after the Civil War and may have been influenced by the Chalet and Stick Style architecture that Richard Morris Hunt had promoted in structures like the J.N.A. Griswold house (now the Newport Art Museum). Mason’s work is particularly well represented in the Catherine/ Kay neighborhood that grew up at around the time when his office was most prolific. His earlier work, including his own home built on Old Beach Road and Sunnyside Place about 1875, is a highly articulated version of these Swissinspired structures, with filigree wood elements decorating the lowslung gable and broad porch. Seen from Sunnyside, it is both symmetrical and formal in its disposition of shapes and masses. The house of his son, located nearby on the corner of (fittingly)

Champlin Street, and which was designed and built circa 1885, demonstrates the significant evolution of the style of the father and son in the following decade. It is more Stick Style in design, with half-timbering and an informal, asymmetric arrangement of masses that recalls the pragmatic Colonial arrangement of volumes, although on a much larger scale. Other nearby structures, like the Francis Morris house of 1882, at the corner of Rhode Island and Champlin, which was a joint work of the father and son as well, seem to split the difference, with large formal gables facing each of the primary streets but a wide range of loosely positioned windows, door hoods and projecting bays that give the design a much more informal feeling. Onorato observes that Mason Senior brought his son into the profession of architecture and also mentored a whole generation of Newport architects that were to follow him, including Dudley Newton, J.D. Johnston and James Fludder. A search of Amazon books yields many books by George Champlin Mason but no book solely about his and his son’s work. Nevertheless, his effect on Newport architecture, both through his building and also through his writing and organizational leadership, was considerable. It is nice on this Father’s Day to acknowledge the contributions of fathers everywhere, but it is especially nice to honor a Newport architect who was father to another architect and mentor to many more. Ross Sinclair Cann, AIA, LEED AP, is an historian, educator and practicing architect living and working in Newport.

Comedy Series to Lighten Up Summer Some of the biggest names in comedy will be going for the big laughs in Newport this summer, as the 11th annual Newport Summer Comedy Series kicks off on June 24 with a stand-up performance by Aziz Ansari, who stars with Amy Poehler in the NBC hit TV show, “Parks and Recreation.” Ansari will be followed in succeeding weeks on the stage of the Newport Yachting Center by eight other big names of stand-up comedy: John Pinette (July 2), Bob Saget (July 7), Steven Wright (July 21), Jeff Dunham (July 23), Lisa Lampanelli (July 30), Brian Regan (July 31), the raw and outrageous Louis CK (for two shows on Aug. 6), and “Blue Collar Comedy” star Ron “Tatar Salad” White (Aug. 14). Many of these comic stars are returning to the city which has welcomed them warmly in earlier seasons. New to the list this year, though, is Wright, whose laconic, deadpan delivery has been his trademark style ever since he first appeared on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson more than 30 years ago. “We’ve been trying to get Steven Wright to Newport for the past five years,” says Comedy Series promoter Joe Rocco. “The dates have never worked out, but now, finally, we have him and couldn’t be more thrilled.”

John Pinette Like Wright, each of the comedians in the line-up has a unique style. Audiences who are looking for family-friendly entertainment will be delighted by Brian Regan, while those who appreciate a raunchier style of humor will be laughing at the notpolitically-correct style of Louis CK, who will be doing two shows on Aug. 6. Known for his comic rants against the everyday irritations and

Bob Saget injustices of life, CK is definitely for mature audiences. In addition to starring in his own hour-long HBO special, “Shameless,” he has been a regular on the late-night circuit, appearing on Letterman, O’Brien, Leno and Kimmel. The lone woman in the line-up is the Queen of Comedy, Lisa Lampanelli, a Connecticut native who has made a name for herself on the national comedy circuit by calling it as she sees it – often with a razorsharp edge and more than a little profanity. There is also Bob Saget – once everybody’s favorite TV host and star of “Full House,” now a star of standup who is not afraid to sprinkle in some material that would have been censored on network TV. Ron White, the star of “Blue Collar Comedy,” appeals not just to bluecollar audiences, but to everyone else, as well. Nominated for two Grammys, he has starred in three of Comedy Central TV’s top-rated specials. White is returning to Newport this summer after selling out his performances in 2007 and 2009.

For the last several weeks, a small fleet of racing yachts – rare even in their day – have sat quietly tied up along the docks at the Newport Shipyard. Their crews have been attending to them diligently; readying their sails, touching up the brightwork, and even stepping their gigantic masts. Beginning Wednesday, these J Class yachts Velsheda and Ranger will duel one another in a much anticaped face-off, the J Class Newport Regatta, the first of a series of global J Class events, and easily one of the highlights of the city’s sailing calendar. Scheduled for June 15-19, it will be the first competitive J-Class regatta in the United States since the 1937 America’s Cup. The event is being organized by Regatta Partners, and kick off a summer of world-class racing. J Class yachts were first built in 1930 following the introduction of the Universal Rule, which for the first time governed the size and performance of yachts built to compete for the America’s Cup. At roughly 140-feet in length, the boats carry crews of 30 or more, feature massive sail areas, and were at the pinnacle of sailing technology. Well appointed both for racing as well as criss-crossing the globe, they are some of the rarest of all classic sailing yachts. Yet their reign over sailing was

brief. They competed in the 1930, 1934, and 1937 America’s Cup. Just 10 were built, and by the end of World War II, only three survived. Of those three, two have Newport connections. Well known Newport yachtswoman Elizabeth Meyer restored two J boats: Endeavor and Shamrock V. Two others, Hanuman, a 2009 replica of Endeavor II, and Ranger, a 2003 rebuild of H.S. Vanderbilt’s 1937 America’s Cup defender, have become a regular visitors to the city in recent years. With work either completed or underway on seven other boats, the J-Class has been reborn, and a 2012 regatta in Cowes, England promises to bring up to 10 boats together for the re-running of the Hundred Guinea Cup, which we know today as the America’s Cup. With the race to be held within the confines of Narragansett Bay, ample viewing opportunities for spectators should be available from Castle Hill to Fort Adams and Jamestown. Indeed, having these boats start from the same point as the popular Thursday night racing series will be a sight to behold. Ground zero for the race will be the Newport Shipyard, which also serves as home to Puma’s 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race entry. Racing began Wednesday, June 15, and continue through Sunday, June 19, with all races beginning at 1300 hours.

Jeff Dunham on Saturday, July 23. Second show added! Dunham‘s television specials and series have been the highest rated programming in Comedy Central history, his DVD sales have reached.

MAINSHEET Friends’ Fete Raises Funds for Ballard Park Events Some 200 people–Friends of Ballard Park, and their guests–recently gathered at Holly House, the home of Les and Carol Ballard. The party co-chairs Colleen Quinn and Peggy Richmond orchestrated the evening, with wines from the Ballards’ own cellars, hors d’oeuvres from McGrath Clambakes and music by the Mike Walsh Trio. Ballard Park executive director, Colleen McGrath, and the dozens of people on the party committee gathered a wide assortment of items for a silent auction, raising more than $30,000 to help fund family-friendly events and educational programs at Ballard Park. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of a key to the City of Newport by Mayor Stephen C. Waluk to Les Ballard in recognition of all he and Carol have done to support Ballard Park and many local nonprofit organizations.

“Tree of Life� won the coveted Palme d’Or at the 64th Cannes Film Festival.Terrence Malick graduated from Harvard University both summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in philosophy. He earned his MFA in film at the American Film Institute(AFI) Conservatory. Terrence Malick’s “Tree of Life� has no suitable comparison in films—American or otherwise. It is more than a “movie.� I’d call it a visual poem, a Zen-like meditation, a benediction in the form of magnificent collages of stunning images that surround a simple tale of an ordinary family with a sense of wonder and awe over this miracle that we call life. The narrative structure—such as Patricia it is—centers on LACOUTURE a family living in Waco, Texas in the 1950s. Malick, who was born in Waco, also set his other hauntingly beautiful film, “Days of Heaven,� in Texas. That was set at the turn of the century, when the land was wild and sparsely inhabited. Here, we meet a family, the O’Briens. Dad (Brad Pitt) likes discipline, order and control. He wants his sons to grow strong and sturdy, like mighty oaks. Mom (Jessica Chastain) runs and laughs with their three sons, Young Jack (Hunter McCracken), R.L. (Laramie Eppler) and Steve (Tye Sheridan). She enters into the world of their imaginations and loves each as a unique being. The world of their backyard, along with a tree they plant there, is a confined small place, and the

O’Briens are unremarkable except for a tragic loss that occurs. The O’Brien family is archetypal. In their joys, struggles, grieving and finding ways to move on, they are any of us. Malick does not, however, present a melodrama. Struggles are deep but expressed in body language—snippets of Mother’s thoughts and those of grown-up Jack (Sean Penn)—and through remarkable use of montage editing. Like a silent film, “Tree of Life� relies heavily on pure imagery—the parallels made possible by skillful use of editing—and music to communicate its themes. Interspersed with an otherwise “simple� family drama, we see a much larger and infinitely grander narrative unfolding. Malick reconstructs the creation of the Universe and, ever so briefly, its eventual end. Malick, who spends years preparing for his films, consulted with scientists on what creation may have looked like. The consultants include Dr. Andrew H. Knoll, Fisher Professor of Natural History at Harvard University and paleontologist Dr. John “Jack� Hornet from Montana State University. Blending scientific research with his usual naturalistic style and, for the first time ever, digital special effects, Malick has concocted a feast for the eye and food for the soul. “Tree of Life� is very much a spiritual film. We see the apparent chaos of a meteor strike setting off a

series of explosive volcanic explosions and, later, the cooling action of wild surging surf. In between these spectacular sights, which seem to overflow beyond the screen’s width and height, a calming interlude focuses on a flame, shaped like a tulip or rosebud and pulsing like a heart, suggesting a divine force orchestrating the chaos. When the film ended, I was speechless and felt as if I had been on a pilgrimage to the center of existence. Placing the personal tale of the family against the backdrop of the creation story leads to a moment when this critic felt one of those “Ah ha� experiences. My feeling was (and continues to be as I ponder this film daily) that Malick is suggesting that our problems might seem overwhelming at times, but they are insignificant in terms of our lifespan in this cycle of birth, life and death. This message has an uplifting component: To paraphrase Max Ehrman’s “The Desiderata,� we are all children of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars. We are part of the fiber of a grand scheme that we might not understand but that we can embrace through whatever form of spirituality we may practice. Early on in the film, the Mother’s voice states the phrase that

We’ve been looking for ways to beat the heat (and we don’t mean that team from Miami). The recent sizzling weather may have subsided in Newport, but when it returns, we’ll be ready with some easy-fix dishes that won’t warm up the kitchen. In the cool of the morning, put together a delightful chicken salad that is blended with apples, pecans, and Cheddar cheese. It’s great in a sandwich or served on a bed of greens. Portia Of course it would LITTLE be wonderful to just relax and curl up with a good book while we let our smaller appliances such as the slow cooker and microwave do the work and give the house a break from the hot oven. Flavorful fajitas are an easy casual dish that make a great mid-week meal. Choose chicken or beef to cook in the slow cooker along with some colorful peppers and onions. For dessert, “bake” a cherry crisp in your microwave that is ready to serve in minutes. Or just take out an already-prepped macaroon soufflé from the freezer, then top it with a fragrant raspberry sauce. It doesn’t get much easier than this.

Chicken Salad with Apples & Pecans

1/4 cup mayonnaise 1-1/2 teaspoons honey 1/2 teaspoon dill weed 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Salt & pepper to taste 1 cup cooked chicken, cubed 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1/2 cup chopped peeled apple

1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, honey, dill, mustard, salt and pepper. In separate bowl, combine chicken, cheese, apple, and pecans. Stir mayonnaise mixture into chicken. Makes enough for 2 cold sandwiches. For hot sandwiches, grill in a skillet until cheese melts.

Easy Slow Cooker Fajitas

2 pounds thinly cut stir-fry beef or chicken 1 sweet onion, sliced into rings 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips 1 or 2 packets fajita seasoning mix, depending on how spicy you like 1/2 cup water Tortillas (brown rice or corn) Favorite toppings such as lime wedges, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, sour cream, salsa Use 4-quart slow cooker. Place meat in crock with onion and peppers. Sprinkle in seasoning, and add water. Stir. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours, or on high for 6 hours. Meat is done when it reaches desired tenderness. Serve with your favorite toppings. If desired squeeze fresh lime juice over meat before adding toppings. Serves 4.

Microwave Cherry Crisp

1 can (21-ounce) cherry pie filling 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed 2/3 cup oats, regular or quickcooking 1/3 cup flour 1/4 cup butter

Place pie filling in microwave-safe 9-inch pie pan. In bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, and flour. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over pie filling. Microwave on high 12 to 14 minutes, or until bubbly, turning pan half turn after 6 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping. Serves 6. (For variety, substitute your own favorite fruit pie filling such as blueberry, strawberry, or peach.)

Frozen Macaroon Souffle

1 quart vanilla ice cream 12 almond macaroons, crumbled 2 tablespoons orange-flavored brandy 1 cup heavy cream, whipped Raspberry Sauce Soften ice cream slightly. Stir in macaroons and brandy. Fold in whipped cream. Spoon into 6-cup mold. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze. When ready to serve, unmold by running a knife around edge, then dipping mold quickly into hot water. Serve with Raspberry Sauce. Serves 1012. Raspberry Sauce: In a saucepan, simmer 2 thawed (10-ounce) packages frozen raspberries with 5 tablespoons sugar until soft. Strain to remove seeds. Stir in 2 tablespoons orange-flavored brandy. Portia Little is the author of theme gift cookbooks, including Bread Pudding Bliss; The Easy Vegetarian; New England Seashore Recipes & Rhyme.

MOVIE CONTINUED FROM PG. 16 forms the underpinning of the film: “There are two ways through life— the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which you will follow.” Nature, in terms of this film, relates to willfulness—to trying to bend everything and everyone to one’s own will. It is human nature devoid of spirituality, meaning without the acceptance of a power greater than one’s own self. Grace, in contrast, means never worrying about outcomes but, instead, accepting that things happen for reasons beyond our understanding. By accepting life on life’s terms, the Mother suggests, we can live in the grace of peace and the contentment of feeling a part of this greater scheme. The myths, lessons and legends surrounding a tree of life could fill

volumes, and Malick’s intent of a Biblical link stands out in the passage that opens the film. It’s from Job, book 38 and begins with verse four. “Where were you when I laid out the foundations of the earth? Tell Me. If you have understanding.” When one of the sons, grown up Jack (Sean Penn) is, fittingly, an architect questioning his life, the symmetry of Malick’s narrative unfolds. Then, there’s that wealth of myths and metaphors linked to the tree of the film’s title. In Christianity, the tree of life symbolizes our dependence upon God for our temporal and spiritual development. It is directly cited in the Book of Genesis and also appears in Galatians, Isaiah and Revelations. Shinto, the native religion of Japan, honors trees as sacred. Trees are sometimes decorated with sacred paper symbolizing lightning bolts as forms of energy and power. After death, ancestors and animals can be portrayed as branches on a tree. To the ancient Egyptians, Holy Sycamore stood on the threshold of life and death, bridging these two worlds. German Paganism and Norse Mythology long honored sacred groves of trees. A so-called “world tree” could be an ash or a yew. In Chinese mythology, legends surrounding trees and dragons represent immortality. The fruit of a tree that bears a peach every three thousand years bestows immortality upon the person who takes a bite. Etz Chiam, Hebrew for “tree of life,” is figuratively applied to the Torah itself. The litany of religious and cultural beliefs is like an actual tree, as

Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain in The Tree of Life so many branches of a sacred tree transcend ethnic and geographic boundaries. What thoughts must have swirled through Terrence Malick’s head as he composed the script for this film? If creativity can be considered a form of the divine working through us mortals, Malick has been communing with angels. As his grand opus reaches its conclusion, the mother, who has served as our guide, offers God a surrender that brought tears to my eyes and still gives me chills. It is she who has followed the way of grace, and something deep in me rejoices that Malick has chosen a woman as the vessel for the gift of a spiritual existence. Patricia Lacouture currently teaches film studies at Salve Regina University. She also taught at Rhode Island College for ten years. She completed her graduate studies in film from Boston University.

“Light, entertaining history...” is what the reviewers from Publisher’s Weekly said of Deborah Davis’ book “Gilded, How Newport Became America’s Richest Resort.” It is easy enough to agree with that, and perhaps even to take it up a notch and call it “lite.” Yet, with a ten-page bibliography and dozens of named sources including the esteemed Newport scholar and preservationist Ralph Carpenter, the underpinnings of the book are solid even if the prose is sometimes, well...loose. In the chapter titled “Fast Times,” for example, Davis starts out: “Newport’s delight in the triumvirate’s [Mamie Fish, Alva Vanderbilt Belmont and Tessie Oelrichs] supersize parties proved that socialites were children at heart. They liked to play dress-up; they had short attention-spans; and they loved excess in every form.” What Davis glosses over at times is that the women who are woven into her story line about the Gilded Age took their roles as the leaders of class and high society as seriously (or perhaps even more so) as their capitalist and industrialist husbands took their jobs as the

heads of America’s banks, factories and markets. Yes, the summers in Gilded Age Newport were merry, to be sure, but the frivolity had purpose: To climb a social ladder with the intent of an even grander reward, that being the marriages of commonborn sons and daughters to the princes and princesses of Europe’s great royal houses for the production of blue-blooded grandchildren and the guarantee of perpetual wealth and, above all, sustainable status. Newport’s socialites were professional socialites like none other. Davis, a film executive who has worked as a story editor for several major film companies and has written other books on society affairs, writes about people, events and places with the familiarity of an eye-witness. Her “I was there” syntax and her super-short chapters give her book a “Dear Diary” kind of intimacy. The all-vignette style of her

writing, dappled with her personal impressions of Newport, is just the kind of thing that keeps readers reading, while at the same time, it can make the eyes of academics roll like bowling balls on tournament night. But, who says history always has to be staid? Davis adds a thorough index, which makes skimming for the juicy bits easier, and she has a good cast of characters including all of Bellevue Avenue’s Gilded Age gang, plus Beatrice Turner, Doris Duke, Eileen Slocum, Minnie Cushing, and of course, Newport’s beloved Jackie. Davis’ chapter on the season wrap-up of the summer of 2008 leaves readers with the notion that Newport, or the upper-upper-upper class of it at least, is in a privileged, cozy time warp. And, you want to believe that’s a good thing. Davis makes her point by the last few chapters: In society circles, there is no such thing as the average Newporter then or now.

Local Wines Star in Coastal Festival The kind of wine we make all along the southeastern coastline of New England has a lot to do with the Gulf Stream. There’s a lot of complicated meteorology behind why certain grapes grow as well as they do in the cool, salty Atlantic air, at low altitudes, and in the remains of a post-glacial landscape. The region is an official viticultural appellation, stretching from Cape Cod and the islands through the south coasts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Weather facts aside, right now the nine wineries that are strung together in what is called the Coastal Wine Trail only want wine aficionados to know one important thing: it’s festival time. For the fourth year in a row, the six vineyards in Massachusetts: Coastal Vineyards, Langworthy Farm, Running Brook Vineyards, Travessia Winery, Truro Vineyards , and the three vineyards in Rhode Island: Greenvale, Newport and Sakonnet Vineyards, are gathering together under one big tent in Little Compton on Sunday, June 26, from 1 – 4 p.m. It’s expect-

ed to be another sell-out festival, because fans of this event know the foods that are paired with the featured wines come from many of the area’s best farmers, cheese makers, bakers, artisan food chefs, and restaurants. The cost to attend this rainor-shine event is $45 per person (age 21 minimum); reservations required. For event details and directions to Sakonnet Vineyards, call 998-8486, ext. 116, or visit sakonnetwine.com or coastalwinetrail. com.

NATURE By the Dawn’s Early Light By Jack Kelly No matter what the season, dawn on Aquidneck Island can be purely magical. Yet, nature seems to save the best for summer. An early morning walk can lead to wonderful discoveries and once-ina-lifetime observations. For those who seek them out, or for those of us who stumble upon them, these are gifts given freely. A walk at dawn reveals many species greeting the new day. At Sachuest Point, white-tailed does lead their fawns through the fields in search of sweet grass. Whitetailed stags, sprouting nubs of their seasonal antlers, chase each other across the meadows. Harrier hawks can be seen hunting on the boundaries of the salt marsh, while an osprey flies over Second Beach in search of breakfast. Close by, the Norman Bird Sanctuary offers the early morning hiker a bounty of possibilities. Choirs of songbirds greet those who pass along the trails in search of vireos, warblers, flycatchers, orioles, tanagers, bobolinks and so many other species. Gooseneck Cove and its salt marsh system, give spectacular views of wading birds such as great egrets, snowy egrets, green herons, and others. Adult Canada geese and mallard ducks can be seen leading their young around the edges of the cove and marsh. Belted king fishers can be observed fishing for breakfast as they first hover, and then dive into the water. Common terns have established a nesting area or rookery, on the island rocks, close to Green Bridge. However, not all encounters occur in the “wild� areas of Newport County. There is an occupied osprey nest on the cell tower at Freebody Park/Toppa Field, in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The osprey pair, now feeding and caring for their young in the nest, delight their neighbors with their antics. One of my favorite encounters occurred at the CVS on Bellevue Avenue two summers ago. It was just after dawn in August, when I sight-

An immature red-tailed hawk and a tree squirrel have a staring contest. (Photos by Jack Kelly) ed an adult red-tailed hawk flying with two immature red-tailed hawks, circling low over the parking lot. A second mature red-tailed hawk was perched on the top of a light fixture in the lot. I realized that the adults were the pair who made their nest on Bellevue Ave., near Berkeley Ave., and that they were teaching their young to hunt. I watched one of the juveniles fly to a split-rail fence on the south side of the parking lot and perch. The young raptor was staring intensely at an aged maple tree adjacent to the fence. As I slowly crept closer, to get a photo, I saw that the young bird was staring at a squirrel that was clinging to the side of the tree. The squirrel seemed to be frozen in place. I took two quick photos and shooed the hawk away. The squirrel escaped into the bushes of an adjoining property before any

other family members could get it. I don’t enjoy watching the food chain in action, especially before I’ve had my morning coffee. Recently, local birders have reported sighting a group of blackcrowned night-herons, on the beach adjacent to Rochambeau’s statue at King’s park, at dawn. The herons are nesting on Rose Island and they may be feeding in the King Park area. Nature’s wonders can be found anywhere. All you have to do is stop, look and listen. The Norman Bird Sanctuary will be holding its 5k run/walk fundraiser on Saturday, June 18, this is a great family event. For information contact Lesley Muir at 846-2577 ext. 17 or lmuir@normanbirdsanctuary.org. They are also looking for road race volunteers.

Fourth Time is a Charm for Patriots Islanders Eliminated From Playoffs The Portsmouth High School girl’s softball team erupted for three first inning runs versus their Middletown High School counterparts on Monday, then tacked on four more in the sixth and cruised to a 7-1 victory. The loss eliminated the Islander girls from the fast-pitch, state softball playoffs at Rhode Island College in Providence. After the secondseeded Middletown team had previously dropped a tough, 2-0 decision to the number one seed, East Greenwich High in the winner’s bracket final of the playoffs on Friday, June 10, the stage was set for the possibility that the Middletown girls would, again, have to face their intra-island rivals, the sixth-seeded Portsmouth Patriots for the fourth time this season, in an elimination game to advance to the championship game. The Islanders had already swept their three previous, head-to-head match ups with

the Patriots this season, including a 100, mercy rule-invoked victory last week. The consequential “Game Four” finally became a certainty Saturday, when Portsmouth defeated Prout in extra innings, to complete their game of Friday night which had been suspended due to rain. Tension for the rivalry heightened, again, when inclement weather cancelled the scheduled showdown on Sunday. The next day, the Middletown High School girl’s softball season came to an end. The Islander’s finished the 2011 season with a 17-5 record. On Tuesday, East Greenwich defeated Portsmouth 4-0 to win the state title.

Middletown junior, Nina Traglia, #7 (above), slides into second in the sixth inning after a grounder hit by senior Kaitlyn Eggeman. Traglia was out, but the Islander’s only run of the game scored on the fielder’s choice play. The scoreboard reveals the uphill battle Middletown faced with less than two innings left to play.

The Islander players (above) head out of the ballpark and their tearful expressions tell the heartbreaking story of defeat, that words cannot.

Having finally beaten the Islanders for the first time this season, after four tries, it was all jumps for joy for the Patriots after the final out of the game was recorded.

CVS CAREMARK CHARITY CLASSIC June 19-21, 2011 Rhode Island Country Club Barrington, RI

World-class golf for worthwhile charities. For more than a decade the CVS Caremark Charity Classic has donated over $14 million to local nonprofit organizations including Serve Rhode Island, Bradley Hospital, The American Heart Association and Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence. We believe such support strengthens communities and positively affects the quality of life for countless families and individuals. This year, you can make a difference in the lives of others when you join us at our world-class golf event showcasing some of the PGA and LPGA’s top players.

For volunteer or ticket information, visit www.cvscaremarkcharityclassic.com or call 1-866-CVS-9441.
